Little creatures create big problem in local lakes BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER STAFF WRITER

WHITE BEAR LAKE — In many ways, muskrats aren't much different from “Star Trek’s” tribbles — both are cute, furry creatures that multiply quickly and overwhelm their environment. But while the U.S.S. Enterprise contends with tribbles in fiction, cities in the northeast metro are dealing with the problem of rapid muskrat proliferation in real life. Mostly nocturnal, muskrats are aquatic rodents that live in marshy wetland areas. They build small huts out of reeds and cattails, which also serve as a food source. This spring, many residents have noticed that there seem to be more muskrats than usual, and that they are becoming a nuisance. Muskrat activity is highly visible at the Rotary Nature Preserve near Birch Lake. President of the Birch Lake Improvement District (BLID) Dale Bacon said that the muskrats have been in the area for a long time because the park is natural habitat for them. “A couple of issues have come up in the last few years,” he said. “The population seemed to explode, and whether it's linked or not, most of the cattails around the lake have disappeared. (Cattails are) part of the forage food of muskrat.” White Bear Lake City Engineer Mark Burch said approximately 150 muskrats were trapped on Birch Lake last year. Andy Shoemaker, a May Township resident, has been trapping muskrats and other wildlife for more than 40 years. He said that the muskrat population is at one of the highest levels he's ever seen. Shoemaker credits wildlife management with the resurgence in many types of animals — he remembers a time when he was limited to only 10 beavers because the waters were not as clean and the animals were not as common. Conservation efforts have led to an environment that is perfect for the proliferation of birds of prey, waterfowl, deer, beaver and many other species, but right along with them come muskrats. Bacon said that the high water quality in Birch Lake is likely one of the many reasons the population has increased. Lake levels have also played a role. “What's really changed the last few SEE MUSKRATS, PAGE 8A

Lionmobile takes final ‘joyride’ around lake BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Area seniors took a final joyride on the Lionmobile around the lake last week. “We will sure miss this Lionmobile,” said Dorothy Mueller. “Today we are just joyriding.” Four seniors and several staff took a 10-mile ride around White Bear Lake just for sentiment on its final day of operation March 31. Lion Lynn Amon was the driver; he's been driving the bus for about five years.

He and six other drivers were paid to drive the Lionmobile. He plans to stay on with the district to drive a school van. “I'm going to miss our riders,” he added. He said it was too bad the Lionmobile had to end due to funding constraints. The Lionmobile stopped service because of laws regarding how school district funds can be used, said Tara Jebens-Singh, district adult programs coordinator. SEE LIONMOBILE, PAGE 9A

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A program that educates students on water conservation was not part of a recently released House of Representatives education bill. The bill released by Rep. Jenifer Loon (R-Eden Prairie) concerns local Sen. Chuck Wiger (DFL – District 43). Wiger authored a bill last year granting the program $600,000, according to Press archives. The educational program in White Bear Lake Area Schools and Mahtomedi Public Schools has received state funding for a few years. It received $150,000 in 2015. The program is in partnership with H2O for Life, a local organization addressing water needs internationally. The program provides educational activities and curriculum training. Past projects have included lessons on aquifers, watershed models, tracking of personal water use, a student-led water summit and even building a raingarden, according to Press archives. Race 2 Reduce program director Paul Steinhauser said they need the funding to fully expand the program through 12th grade. So far, educational modules have been for kindergarten through fifth grades. It has been planning to have a full K-12 program by July 2018. “Funding for 2017-18 school year was allocated in last year's budget and is essential for completion of the work during fiscal year 2018,” Steinhauser stated. The program has already reached over 8,800 students, he added. The program's poster contest drew 1,600 submissions from 70 different school districts across Minnesota. “Water is a bipartisan issue, a precious resource, and of course, conservation of water is always the correct and smartest thing to do,” Steinhauser noted. He hopes the funds for Race 2 Reduce can be reinstated. “The Race 2 Reduce team is extremely grateful for the support from Sen. Wiger, Rep. Peter Fischer and the entire Minnesota Legislature to date,” he added. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@presspubs.com.

Wee houses: Going tiny in Minnesota BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Tune into any home design channel, and you’ve undoubtedly seen the deluge of television shows devoted to exploring the Tiny House movement. There’s “Tiny House Hunters,” “Tiny House, Big World,” and “Tiny House Nation,” just to name a few. But what does it really take for someone off-screen to “go tiny,” and what are the benefits of living in a space as small as a college dorm room?

What is a tiny house?

In general, to be considered a true tiny house, the structure must measure under 400 square feet, though the tiniest of the tiny are under 100 square feet. The house can be placed on a foundation or on wheels. Picture a miniature log cabin or an enlarged dollhouse, and you’ll begin to get the idea. Lino Lakes resident Michael Huffman, owner of Midwest Tiny Homes, a company that builds tiny houses, built his fi rst tiny house seven years ago when he lived in Washington state, though it was more out of necessity than an attempt to follow trends. With limited resources, he said “We built tiny because we didn’t have the supplies and made them so we would actually fi nish a project.” When building a tiny house, Huffman said, “You have to make the most of every square inch … almost more than building skills, you need to be creative and good at problem-solving, which is really what makes building tiny so much fun. Well, and the fact that you can build them relatively quickly, so you get a bit of instant gratification.” Tiny houses often feature bedroom lofts, multipurpose spaces, smallscaled appliances and very tiny bathrooms.

The beneﬁts of going tiny

prefabricated “weeHouses.” Gabler said, “design is the number one reason people come to us, but cost can certainly be a driver (typically smaller homes means less tax, fewer building materials, less maintenance and fewer repairs).” The low-maintenance lifestyle of living in a small space also appeals to people. Huffman explained, “The lifestyle living tiny provides is a draw for people. Living minimally can defi nitely put things into perspective for people. Realizing that personal interaction and time spent outdoors can cause a lot more happiness than buying the latest iPhone or whatever … and a lot of people just fi nd them cute.”

Minnesota couple goes tiny

Becky Johnson and her husband Erik, both native Minnesotans, were interested in going tiny because they enjoy living simply. They like the idea of residing in a home where

Sure, they’re cute, but what leads people to give up the comfort of their average-sized homes to live in a home some would call a glorified ice shack? The economic benefit of living without a mortgage plays a large role for most buyers. Betsy Gabler is the business development director of Alchemy Architects in St. Paul, a company that predates the tiny house movement with a similar concept: designing

tiny house made us love our trailer home, and our trailer home made us especially love our tiny house.”

The drawbacks

There are certainly challenges to living in these clever little dwellings, especially in Minnesota. Huffman explained, “the difficulty of living tiny in Minnesota is the cold … in the winters you spend so much more time indoors that the limited space in a tiny home can get on people’s nerves.” “Another problem,” Huffman added, “is plumbing. A lot of the tiny houses simply have a house adapter and run a hose straight to the plumbing. Others will do storage tanks or no plumbing. But the tricky bit is making sure any exterior plumbing is insulated enough that it won’t freeze.”

everything has a function. At one point, they even spent time living out of a VW Vanagon camper. The Johnsons love how “nothing is just for looks” when you live in such small quarters, so when they were living in a mobile home community with their young children near Northeast Minneapolis, Erik built a tiny home in their backyard. Becky said, “We used it as a creative space, storage space, and workshop space … and started roasting coffee in the space as well. It fulfi lled quite a few purposes in our life.” The little abode also served as a nearby retreat when Becky needed some breathing room. The couple is so passionate about going tiny, they even named their hobby coffee roasting gig after the movement: Tiny House Coffee. Becky added, “for us, building the tiny house was a way to fi ll in the missing pieces of our life in the trailer. We found having the

Percolated news

rip, sputter, whoosh – the sound of fresh coffee. Crinkle, swish, curl – the sound of fresh news. Coffee and news have gone together since we all can remember. Countless generations have watched grandpa’s mug of brown water go behind a mysterious black-and-white temporal wall and settled down with their own cup of coffee and news when their taste buds and contemplation ripened. This spring, Press Publications is giving away an iPad Air – a new way to read the news with a tip, tap, buzz – and free coffee for a year to anyone who subscribes this April. The news we deliver each week has been smoothly percolated Story like your coffee. Every Tuesday Chaser after the press is rolling with our fresh newspapers, the editors and Sara Marie Moore reporters in this office gather to discuss what is happening in each off our eight i h communities across the northeast metro. Then we hit the streets to get the full scoop and bring back to the office notebooks full of notes, recorders full of words and laptops full of type. Then we begin to percolate. The words filter off the notebook in strained mindfulness. The news has to be just the right concentration of stimulus to energize a community. Imagine a twohour interview with the most interesting person; or a four-hour city council or school board meeting. Condensing the important is not an easy task. But we percolate each paper every week and our 120-year history has made us like a trusty coffee machine that just won’t stop. Knowing the source of your coffee is more difficult than knowing the source of your news from Press Publications. Bigger isn’t always better. When I buy big-brand coffee, I always wonder where exactly it came from – is there a teenage girl on the other side of this coffee roasting beans for little pay instead of going to school? Then there is the coffee you buy from a friend of a friend who traveled to coffee fields while on a trip and started a small fair-trade business. As far as news goes, we are like the latter. Many of you personally know the source of this news. You can walk into our office and meet us. Our news is local; when possible, we find local stories that relate to metro and national news because we think our towns belong on the big stage. We don’t run Associated Press stories that have been rehashed across the city or across the country. We are not your average disposable mug at a chain coffee shop. We are like the brown-speckled mug with the half-heart shaped handle your grandma gave to your grandpa on their first anniversary and used to sip from while reading the newspaper. You crawled up on his lap one day when you were in elementary school and saw a picture of your brother playing hockey. You touched it – crinkle, curl – it was almost like he was already home from practice. That was the day you thought there might be something to the black-and-white temporal wall and the cup of brown water. Times have changed, but with Press Publications you can still cozy in with a cup of coffee and a newspaper. Print is not out. It’s in your mailbox. We offer the newspaper to anyone who wants it free of charge. But as a small business, we depend on subscriptions. For $30 a year – 60 cents a week – you can support your local source of news. Cozy in with a cup of home-brewed coffee instead of Starbucks or Caribou once a week to read your local news and you’ll have the cash to help keep this tried-and-true mug filled.

Protecting ﬁreﬁghters’ health

reg Doeden joined the Moorhead Fire Department in 1983 because he wanted to help people. Thirty-four years later, he’s still working – day and night – to keep the city safe. Across the state, fi refighters like Greg demonstrate heroism every day. They endure physically and mentally grueling conditions. They have to be able to lift 175 pounds while wearing a full Legislator suit of protective gear. They climb Lingo ladders and break Amy Klobuchar through doors, windows, and walls all while people’s lives literally depend on them. But we’re learning in tragic ways that running into a burning building may not be the most dangerous part of the job. Eight years ago, Greg was diagnosed with colon cancer. He’s a fighter, and his cancer is in remission. But this is a battle that has become all too familiar to firefighters. Nationally, cancer is the leading cause of firefighter line-of-duty deaths in the U.S. The International Association of Fire Fighters estimates roughly 60 percent of career firefighters will die this way. And according to the Centers for Disease Control, firefighters are two to three times more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than

the general public. We’re seeing the numbers born out in Minnesota, too. In Albert Lea, three of the department’s 16 full-time firefighters developed cancer within just one year. The risks for firefighters have evolved because the nature of fires they’re fighting has changed. Instead of homes made with wood, glass, and metal, buildings are now loaded with electronic devices like laptops and TVs. And commonplace items like your kids’ dolls or action figures, saran wrap, and flame retardants turn into a toxic cocktail when ignited. Exposure to the fumes, toxins, and carcinogens that today’s firefighters regularly confront would have been difficult to imagine years ago. And after a fire’s been put out, black soot and chemicals can stick to firefighters and their gear, heightening risk and prolonging exposure to harmful toxins. The figures and stories highlight the risks our firefighters face. But the studies are independent and varied. We don’t know the true scope of the problem because we don’t effectively record cancer diagnoses among firefighters. That’s why I introduced legislation with a bipartisan group of senators to establish a national cancer registry that would track the relationship between firefighters’ exposure to fumes and toxins and cancer. Our bill would mark an important step forward in helping protect firefighters’ health. The data collected would improve our understanding of the

environmental risks our firefighters face and better inform prevention techniques. We’ll also take steps to make sure the registry’s being used properly by requiring administrators to regularly consult with public health experts and firefighters. And in addition to career firefighters, we’ll make sure volunteer firefighters are participating. That’s especially important in Minnesota where the vast majority—18,000 of 20,000— firefighters are volunteers. Finally, we need to make sure fire departments have the right equipment to keep their teams safe. High-tech machines called extractors help do just that, efficiently removing the harmful particulate that can cling to their equipment after they return from a scene. Extractors are critically important to minimizing risk for firefighters and their families, but far too few departments have this technology. A recently-released investigative report found that 26 percent of Minnesota departments do not have an extractor. That’s just not right – which is why I’ll push for funding to help more Minnesota departments purchase extractors for their fire stations. In taking their oath, firefighters accept an immense responsibility – to put service before self. No matter the hour or risk, firefighters answer the call to keep us safe. The very least we can do is pass commonsense legislation to protect their health. Amy Klobuchar is a United States Senator from Minnesota.

Turning waste into treasure – in your own backyard

ach year, the Ramsey and Washington County Resource Recovery Center in Newport processes 400,000 tons of garbage – everything from bottles and cans (should have been recycled), to smelly old mattresses, rotten apples, gum wrappers, pizza boxes, and more. There was a time when most of that garbage would have been hauled to a landﬁ ll and buried underground. Today, however, we’ve gotten better about recycling and smarter about turning trash into treasure. About half of all household waste in the two counties is recycled to make new products – this includes plastic, paper, glass and metal that residents recycle on their own, as well as metal that gets pulled out of the garbage once it arrives at the Resource Recovery Center. Of the remaining garbage, 80,000 tons are landﬁ lled and 320,000 tons are sent to Xcel Energy, where the garbage is incinerated to create electricity. Our

two counties-worth of garbage ends up powering 20,000 homes. Though we’re doing a good job of recycling, Ramsey and Washington County leaders see one major opportunity for improvement – Movers and reducing the amount of food waste and other Shakers organics that end up in our landﬁ lls. Organics Angie Hong make up 43% of our garbage, and each year we landﬁ ll 110,000 tons of food waste. Ironically, most of that food waste could be turned into free fertilizer through composting, right in our own backyards. This spring, the East Metro Water Resource Education Program is teaming up with Recycling Association of Minnesota and the City of Hugo to sell rain barrels and compost bins – two

tools that help homeowners make better use of their free resources. Compost bins turn leaves, grass and kitchen scraps into nutrient rich compost for ﬂower and vegetable gardens. Composting helps to keep food waste out of landﬁlls and creates free fertilizer as well. Rain barrels capture rainwater that would otherwise go to waste, running off into streets and storm sewers. Later, rainwater in the barrels can be used to water gardens and trees during dry weather, instead of pumping groundwater for irrigation. The compost bins for sale hold 82 gallons and cost $64. The rain barrels hold 54 gallons of water and cost $84.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Edward Joseph Kotoski, Jr. Age 94 of White Bear Lake. Edward was born in St. Paul, Minnesota on September 10, 1922. He was the son of Emma (nee Wermus) and Edward Joseph Kotoski, Sr. After spending time in the minor leagues, he enlisted in the United States Coast Guard during World War II. There he met the love of his life, Avis Geneva Ballou, his “diamond from Rhode Island,” who was also in the Coast Guard. The two were married on October 28, 1944 in New York City. Upon being discharged from the service, he resumed his job with TC Field Insurance Company where he displayed an extraordinary work ethic as he worked his way up from chauffeur to treasurer over 43 years with the company. He and Avis were charter members at St. Pius X Catholic Church in White Bear Lake and his devotion was very evident through his faith and daily prayers. Edward coached baseball teams his boys were involved in and was instrumental in establishing the Babe Ruth League in White Bear Lake. Edward possessed a sense of integrity and fairness and will be remembered for his sharp wit, amazing memory, and active interest in his family's lives. Edward passed away peacefully at his home on March 28, 2017, while surrounded by his loving family. He will be dearly missed by his children, James (Linda) Kotoski, Donald (Joleen) Kotoski, Richard (Kathleen) Kotoski, Phillip (Gail) Kotoski and Susan (James) Tobin; grandchildren, Kali Kotoski, Weston Kotoski, Ariana (O’Brian) Baxter, Andrew (Amy) Kotoski, Molly (Jason) Kortan, Erin (Anthony) Barnum, Daniel, Annamarie (Jovani) Morales, Edward Kotoski, Elizabeth Kotoski, Michael (Angel) Tobin, Anthony Tobin and Timothy Tobin; and great-grandchildren, Ellianna, Brendan, Connor, Ryan, Ailish, Mara Geneva, Jackie, Aden, Janel, Angelo, Adrian, Miguel, Isabel Avis, Alissa, Lia, Addison, and Lauryn; and many other family and friends. Preceded in death by wife, Avis Geneva Kotoski; parents, Emma and Edward Kotoski, Sr.; and brothers, Eugene and Clarence Kotoski. Mass was held on Tuesday, April 4, 2017 at St. Pius X Catholic Church in White Bear Lake with interment and military honors at Rutherford Cemetery in Stillwater. Mueller Memorial is serving the family. To leave a message of condolence, please visit www.MuellerMemorial.com or call 651-774-9797 for more information.

Mahtomedi finance challenges

The Mahtomedi Finance Commission met March 28 to discuss the fi nancial impact of proposed utility extensions into unserved low-density residential areas. Two projects would require a more than $100,000 per house subsidy resulting in increased citywide property taxes, rising water and sewer rates, and drained utility reserve funds. The city can only assess property owners up to the level of appraised benefit, now set at $17,000. The fi scally savvy Finance Commission unanimously approved a recommendation to the City Council to halt these projects due to the significant negative consequences on the city's fi nancial health and the unfairness to other taxpayers. One commissioner (who seems quite smart about municipal fi nance) said these projects are fi nancially way out of bounds, not even close. In the Briarwood neighborhood, 26 of 30 residents signed a petition against this utility extension. Last year, Mahtomedi approved the neighborhood task force's recommendation for a new strict septic ordinance requiring replacement of inadequate systems and ongoing inspections. In response, several systems were replaced last fall in good faith that the utility extensions would not proceed. Other residents are waiting for the city to fi nalize its decision. This decision affects our entire community. These projects would use the city's entire bonding capacity, hamstringing future improvements like a lake trail and our ability to respond to new regulations on groundwater pumping due to lake levels. Contact City Council members to ask them to follow the wise advice of the Finance Commission. Bill Coleman Mahtomedi

Gunshot incident in White Bear Lake under investigation WHITE BEAR LAKE — A man allegedly fired a handgun at a vehicle in a road rage incident on the morning of March 30. The incident occurred at I-694 and Highway 120 (Century Avenue) about 8:30 a.m. in White Bear Lake, according to the Minnesota State Patrol. The suspect reportedly fired a shot at a vehicle that shattered its back window. There were no injuries and no person was hit with a bullet. According to law

enforcement reports, the 2006 white Cadillac Escalade from which the bullet had been fired then exited onto White Bear Avenue. The suspect was later located and interviewed by authorities. He consented to a search of his vehicle but no gun was found. He was not arrested and Minnesota State Patrol is continuing to investigate the case. Sara Marie Moore

"You know where your produce is coming from. Also, it's fresh — we pick it the day of or the day before we box it." Ron added, "We have 45 different kinds of produce, spread out between 16 weeks.” Costa Farm also offers a plant CSA.

BY JULIA ARNOLD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Buying locally grown produce is becoming a priority for consumers across the country and the region. CSAs give consumers that opportunity to buy local.

What is a CSA?

CSA stands for community-supported agriculture. In a CSA, consumers pledge to support a local farm, an arrangement where growers and consumers share the risks and benefits of food production. CSA subscribers pay a fixed price at the beginning of the growing season for a weekly share of the anticipated harvest. CSA proponents see the arrangement as benefitting local farmers, as well as consumers. Subscribers feel a sense of satisfaction from connecting to the land and participating in food production; through direct sales, growers receive better prices for their crops. Heidi Carlson, a North Oaks resident, said that was a major reason she joined one. “I wanted access to fresh food, grown locally and wanted to support a local farmer,” she explained. Participating in a CSA can also inspire healthy eating. Lino Lakes residents Sarah and Mike Carlson (no relation to Heidi) said they joined a CSA last summer “because we wanted to get fresh, local, organic vegetables every week.” Sarah also thought it would encourage her to try more recipes and eat more salads. She noted, “We did eat more vegetables, and tried some that I had never eaten before.” With a CSA, buyers know where their food is coming from. Eating locally grown food is becoming a real priority for consumers. Sarah said, “I liked the quality of the vegetables and that we were able to see where the vegetables

were grown. Heidi said she likes the fact there is less environmental impact when buying locally produced food. The main drawback is the unpredictability of Mother Nature. If there is a crop failure or pest issue, buyers have paid for goods they may not receive. Also, the cost for consumers can seem high, though subscribers can share the boxes and split the cost, something Sarah and Mike did last year. Ready to give it a try? There are several nearby options for CSA membership.

Sarah and Mike subscribed last year, and their three children enjoyed the weekly produce box. Their weekly CSA boxes have plenty of variety. Butch said they have "anything from beans to zucchini. There's about 27 different vegetables, all certified organic." They also occasionally offer cantaloupe and pears, depending on the weather. Visitors pick up their CSA boxes at the roadside shop, where “exotic chickens” can also be spotted pecking about. Those interested can sign up now for the 2017 season at http://allgoodorganics. net/CSA.html.

MUSKRATS: Aquatic rodents can produce four litters per year FROM PAGE 1A

years are low water level conditions, and that allowed weeds and willows and cattails to start growing on flat areas exposed with the loss of water,” Shoemaker said. “The lake came up last year quite a bit, and all those areas that had weeds and cattails growing, those are places that for many years had no aquatic vegetation. The water came up and it provided habitat for muskrat.” In addition to creating these homes in the shallow water, muskrats burrow underground to create a warm, protected chamber where they can bring back food collected from under the ice in winter. One of the biggest concerns is that the rodents' tunneling will eventually destabilize the infrastructure of the bank and nearby roads. “The concern on the part of the city was that they were starting to undercut the bank on Birch Lake Boulevard,” Bacon said. “You start to get things washing away. A number of shoreline property owners have complained about burrowing under their property; holes pop up.” Gary Langer is a resident of the Wild Marsh townhouse development on Marsh Drive in White Bear Township. He and his neighbors have noticed quite a bit of tunneling in their yards; he said his neighbor has a hole in his lawn about two feet deep and eight feet long. Langer has lived in the home for three years, and said the problem has gotten worse. “We love the marsh and the wildlife in it, except for that one creature,” he said. The muskrat population spike may also be related to a White Bear Lake ordinance passed in 2013. When a local man's dog was accidentally caught in a raccoon trap, the city passed an ordinance stating that all trapping was prohibited, except for with permission of the city manager or by request of a private property owner. Homeowners like Langer are able to take care of the problem in their own yards by requesting these services, but trappers are not allowed to operate the way they would on other lakes. Most lakes that fall under the jurisdiction of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are open to trapping, so long as the trappers have the proper permits and only take game during the active trapping season. Muskrats do have some natural predators, Shoemaker said. Eagles, hawks, otters, mink and even muskies will feast on muskrat when given the chance. That's why the high rate of reproduction plays such a critical role. Although muskrats usually live hardly more than a year, Shoemaker said they can have up to four litters of young over the course of one summer. “A muskrat born in spring can have its own litter of

babies by fall,” Shoemaker said. “That's what happened in White Bear Lake. The circumstances are just perfect. For years there were no weeds or cattails, but with the lake dropping and then coming back up, there's a lot of habitat.” Muskrats can present a danger to humans and pets, Shoemaker said. They may carry diseases, such as tularemia or, in the rare case, rabies. In addition to this, their behavior changes in the breeding season. “Muskrats can be quite aggressive, especially in springtime when they're most active and breeding,” Shoemaker said. “This is the only time of year you see them hit by cars. They migrate across dry land, looking for a new watershed, new lakes, new ponds to go through. When that ice first comes out, there seem to be muskrats everywhere. They end up in garages and window wells, but that only happens in spring for a short period of time. In the spring, they can be very aggressive. I've had a number of dogs bitten by muskrats. They have very sharp teeth. The dangers are if... a kid wouldn't know any better than to (approach). The rest of the year (muskrats) keep to themselves.” DNR furbearer specialist Jason Abraham said that the DNR does not formally track muskrat numbers, but that based on anecdotal evidence and observation of muskrat huts in wetlands around the state, it's likely the numbers were higher than usual this year. Shoemaker said that a possible solution to the problem would be a renewed interest in trapping among young people; he grew up in White Bear Lake trapping for spare cash. “What I really think is that it's too bad there's not more kids out there, instead of sitting inside the house playing video games or whatever else,” he said. “You learn about being self-reliant and independent. You go up to Birch Lake, you could easily catch 300 muskrats. Three hundred muskrats at $3 a piece, for a kid that's in high school, that's a nice bit of change. On top of that, people don't really know anything about trapping anymore. You outlaw the trapping, these critters become problems.” Both Shoemaker and Abraham said that overpopulation and the natural fluctuation in water levels may eventually lead to a natural solution to the muskrat problem. “Their populations cycle from high and dense to low and sparse very quickly,” Abraham said. “It’s quite possible that muskrat populations will (be) noticeably lower in the near future.”

Adult technology classes create new career paths BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Northeast metro school districts have banded together to help adults find new careers in technology fields. Two years ago Mounds View Public Schools, White Bear Lake Area Public Schools and Mahtomedi Public Schools, along with the North St. Paul, Maplewood and Oakdale district, applied together for a federal grant that would offer career pathway training for English Language Learner (ELL) students. The technology program developed with the $100,000-per-year grant offers certification in Microsoft Office or CompTIA A+, an IT (information technology) industry-recognized certification. Possible careers include working in an office, or at a help desk, call center or computer repair business, said Brent Olinger, manager of adult programs at Silver View Education Center for Mounds View Public Schools. “We are seeing lots of people getting jobs out of this class,” Olinger said. “It's a game-changer.” One student who finished the class and was certified in CompTIA A+ last semester landed a $60,000 salary job repairing IT equipment, he noted. “It gives you a chance to find a different career,” said Dorjee Damdul, who grew up in northern India at the foothills of the Himalayas. Damdul has been working as a housekeeping supervisor at a hospital in the Twin Cities but is hoping to find a new career in the technology field after taking the CompTIA class and passing the test last fall.

Students study printing technology at the Silver View Education Center in Mounds View earlier this month.

Hongying Ke is taking the class for a second time this semester because she didn't pass the first time. She moved to the U.S. from China eight years ago and said she dreams of working in a post office. “It’s a difficult test,” said teacher Dan Emmons, noting students eventually pass it with enough motivation. He said he teaches the class based on what he knows is on the test. Topics include hardware, operating systems and networking. Students also get hands-on experience taking computers apart. Classes run for a typical semester. On Fridays, Emmons helps students with resumes. A Shoreview student in his Microsoft Office class last semester recently received an office job within 10 miles of her house, a goal of hers. At the Harmony Learning Center — an adult education program for the White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi and Maplewood

districts — students can take the Microsoft Office and CompTIA classes concurrently. Classes are built at individual student pace, said teacher Randee Edmundson. She teaches Microsoft Office two days a week and her husband John teaches CompTIA. The curriculum is designed so students can join the class at any point, she added. One student who passed the CompTIA test is moving up within their company, she noted. Several students have received the Microsoft Office Specialist Certificate, said Scott Helland, adult education coordinator. “Employers are impressed with the Microsoft certification test,” he said, noting students have obtained office jobs after taking the class. Student Erica Huppert is studying Microsoft Office and CompTIA in order to find a new career path. She has worked

in the restaurant industry for about 15 years. When she went to college to study business, she had to choose between paying tuition or health insurance. She chose tuition but then she was hospitalized six times and needed to have her tonsils removed. She dropped out of school. Now she’s trying to catch back up. “I want another whole pathway and a different profession,” she said. “I know I need these skills to thrive.” Century College and Minneapolis Community and Technical College also accepts the CompTIA certification as class credit. The grant runs out at the end of this school year, but Olinger is confident they will receive the grant again. The classes and certification tests are free of charge to adults both inside and outside the districts. The districts also offer English language classes, basic computer classes and GED classes free of charge. Silver View Education Center is located off County Highway 10 in Mounds View, and Harmony Learning Center is located at the intersection of White Bear Avenue and County Road C in Maplewood.

LIONMOBILE: Riders will miss friendly drivers FROM PAGE 1A

The Lionmobile began in 1974. Lion Doug Shepard drove four different Lionmobile vehicles over his 17 years of driving. He said he will miss talking with his riders but will keep busy delivering Meals on Wheels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are all so nice to us and on time,â&#x20AC;? said Mueller about the drivers. Resident Marlene Durand is already signed up with Metro Mobility and said it has been great, although it was an hour and a half late the first time she went to the beauty shop. Resident Almedia M. Appleton took the Lionmobile to her job at the Magnuson Christian School lunchroom. She now uses Metro Mobility. Although it is about $2 cheaper for her, she used the Lionmobile because it took a more direct route, she said. Metro Mobility costs $6 for a round trip, the ladies said. The Lionmobile operated on a sliding scale based on income, said Jebens-Singh. The average cost was $7 to $8. Resident Mike Voss said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridden the Lionmobile for nine years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big part of their life,â&#x20AC;? said Rose Price, who took care of scheduling rides at the White Bear Lake Senior Center Office. She will still be working fulltime for the district and will be investing more time into other activities the senior center offers. Another local transportation organization, NewTrax, is planning to pilot a transportation program for area seniors this spring to determine if it could provide some services like the Lionmobile did.

Developer dips out of lakeside luxury apartments BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A luxury apartment developer that planned to present its idea for a three-story luxury apartment building at an open house meeting at City Hall last week canceled on short notice. Instead, city staff gave a comprehensive presentation on the history of the old Garceau Hardware site and discussed ideas with residents about what should become of the dilapidated corner. The City Council chambers were packed to the brim with residents, most of whom appeared to have been against the potential luxury apartment building. The developer backed out about a week before the event because it â&#x20AC;&#x153;did not want to jump into controversy,â&#x20AC;? said City Administrator Kevin Watson after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they are very interested in the property; if there was a turnaround in the community maybe they would come back.â&#x20AC;? However, residents made it clear at the open house that a majority of them were there to stand against a luxury apartment building, displayed in applause for remarks made by individual residents during the meeting. City staff is requesting interested residents join a task force to help identify potential projects for the site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all want a project we all want,â&#x20AC;? Watson said. Several residents offered ideas at the meeting, including a park, one-level hospice care homes and a restaurant. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We'd love a restaurant, too,â&#x20AC;? Watson noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe it is something that can happen.â&#x20AC;? So far, the location of the site has not been able to attract a restaurant or commercial business. The city will likely lose its nearly $1 million in grants that were for environmental cleanup of the site as they were earmarked only for redevelopment with a high-density residential building, Watson noted. The city may also not be able to get back its investment in the site. To purchase the site, the city used TIF (tax increment financing) money from increased tax revenues after the city center area was developed in the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;90s. The city has invested a total of about $835,000 in the site for the property, environmental assessments and other administrative costs. The city would potentially need to invest more money into the site to assist a developer of lower-valued property with cleanup, according to a financial analysis by Jason Aarsvold of Ehlers. For an apartment building, the city would get back its investment and actually gain about $100,000, due to the grants and the higher profit a developer can make on a high-density building.

The city doesn't necessarily need to get its money back, Watson noted. The direction of the city is up to the City Council. Redevelopment is what helps the city keep taxes low, he added. The site is filled with asbestos and has seeping petroleum, according to geologist Mike Hultgren of American Engineering Testing. Groundwater was contaminated with petroleum and arsenic. He collected soil gas samples and determined a building may need to use a vapor mitigation system underneath the building. There are also portions of an old hospital from St. Paul, Ancker Hospital, buried on the western portion of the site in the swamp. Shingles, asphalt and asbestos are below the swamp. If a developer built on that part, pilings for foundation support would need to be used. Hultgren said the material could potentially be managed on the site and not have to be disposed of elsewhere. Dave Garceau tried to sell his site after the hardware store closed in 2013, but was unsuccessful due to the contamination issues, Watson noted. He approached the city for help in 2014. In 2015, a senior housing developer expressed interest in buying the site at $685,000 but the project fell through. Around the same time, the Vadnais Market next door to the hardware site underwent foreclosure. The city offered to buy the market for $50,000 from the bank and paid Dave Garceau $685,000 for his part of the property, Watson said. The city received grants to be applied to a potential senior housing complex in 2016. After the City Council considered an interested developer and the saturation of senior housing in the area, it also looked into luxury apartment developers. The grants would still have applied for a high-density apartment building, but will likely not be used as a project would need to be in place by December, Watson said. Two of the grants that were only for high-density projects will likely be forfeited â&#x20AC;&#x201D; $700,000 from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development and $100,000 from a Metropolitan Council Livable Communities grant. Ramsey County has indicated it may still provide assistance to the site via its Environmental Relief fund, but in a lesser amount. It had originally granted $150,000. Residents asked if they could apply for grants for different types of projects. Watson asked residents to let him know if they knew of any grants that would apply for the types of development the residents would like. The city is asking residents to join a task force to help define a project they would like. For more information, visit the city's webpage dedicated to the site: www.cityvadnaisheights.com/garceau.

Area tropical fish store opens with a splash BY PAT ZEITNER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

CIRCLE PINES — A new pet shop is making waves. Xeng “Andy” Moua and his wife IaOng, or “Mandee,” recently opened Quality Aquatics Pet Shop. It is the latest phase of Andy’s lifelong hobby with tropical fish. “I was probably 10, I was really into fish,” Moua said. “As I got older, I was messing with this fish thing for close to 15 years, keeping it at home.” Eventually, he opened a store in Columbia Heights with his brother. “We had it up and going less than two years. That was really new to us. I learned a lot from that experience, so now I have a better idea of what direction I should go with the shop,” he said. “I decided not to open another one again (after closing the store with his brother), but for some reason I couldn’t get it out of me, so here we are,” he said. The no-frills fish store is located at 9205 Lexington Ave. N. in Circle Pines, in a strip mall that has become popular with new tenants these last few months. Moua and his wife, who now live in Arden Hills, previously lived in Circle Pines, so they knew the area. “We didn’t really choose this location, it chose us. We came to get our DMV tags around the building, and we saw a vacant sign. I said, ‘Let’s go take a peek at it.’ One thing led to another and we ended

up signing the lease the same day,” he laughed. A recent online fish list for the store includes a Peacocks & Haps section with an alphabetical listing of Aulonocara lwanda to Tramitichromis intermedius. There is a Fossorochromis rostratus (female only), and an assortment of extra large male Nimbochromis venustus. In addition, the store stocks Tanganyika, mbuna, goldfish, koi and plecos. The crocodile pikehead, black ghost knife and Chinese high-fin shark are all listed under the Oddballs category. “I work with a lot of distributors. I like to carry a lot of varieties,” Moua said. “My store doesn’t cater to just one specific type of fish. I have community fish, goldfish, koi, African cichlids, discus. I try to carry every type of fish I can. You never know what a customer is going to want.” Some customers may want a Leichardti arowana, listed at $239 and change. One of his most popular fish is the silver arowana, just under $22. “That’s a ranchu, he’s being a goofball,” Moua points to a knobby round gray fish dancing around as if it knows it has an audience. Moua sells feeder fish that can go home with the buyer’s new freshwater fish. Aquariums and accessories are not yet part of his inventory. Although Moua’s fish store is new in this neighborhood, word gets around. “I have customers from Wisconsin, Fargo,

Iowa — I was surprised. I didn’t expect that deal,” he said smiling. Moua used to work in auto body repairs. “I wasn’t passionate about it like I thought I would be. I’m more passionate about fish than cars.”

Assistant coach devoted 30 years to Junior Gold hockey BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Junior Gold hockey would have been a perfect fit for Terry Greene when he attended White Bear Lake High School, but it did not exist then. “I was maybe, the fourth-best goalie,” said Greene, a 1969 graduate, about the tryouts his junior year. “I wasn’t good enough.” Junior Gold, an independent, parents-funded hockey organization, coached by volunteers, for boys who got cut from the high school team, got started some years later. Greene would have loved that opportunity his junior and senior years. However, the 65-year-old computer systems administrator has been a big promoter of Junior Gold for the last 30 years, serving as an assistant coach. He finally stepped down after this year’s state tournament. “What is rewarding about it is giving kids at the high school level another op-

portunity to play hockey,” said Greene, “along with the relationships you develop with the players, parents and other coaches around the league.” In his youth, Greene played goalie on the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade teams, and for B squad in 10th grade. After that, the kids who didn’t make the varsity or JV, like him, were done with hockey. A decade later, he was back in hockey. Greene and fellow motorcycle enthusiast Mallard Teal were making their first of many pilgrimages to Sturgis, S.D. Teal, who was coaching a Midgets team (grades 10-11), asked Greene to be his assistant and goalie coach. Greene accepted. He helped with various other White Bear Hockey Association teams before joining Teal with Junior Gold in 1987. Greene was assistant to Teal for 26 years, then Keith Wakefield for three. When Wakefield retired, Greene decided to stay one more year and help the new coach get started. Year 30 was a

“nice round number” and a good one to quit on. He was honored at Junior Gold’s recent banquet. Dan Schwartz, who became coach this year, after coaching at other levels, especially appreciated Greene for his experience in dealing with players cut from the high school team. “He gave me critical advice on how to engage with these guys,” Schwartz said. “I don’t know if I’d been prepared to handle that without him.” Junior Gold gets some kids who don’t get along with the high school coaches, but it’s mostly players who’ve been cut. “The guys who had two years on JV, and get cut as seniors, that’s a pretty hard sell sometimes,” Greene said. “They are broken-hearted. They expected to play for the high school team.” Some who get cut just hang up their skates, but many take the Junior Gold option. The cost is borne completely by parents, currently $1,500 per player per season. “When they come to Junior Gold,” Greene said, “almost to a T, they say it was probably the most fun year of hockey they ever had.” Junior Gold has A and B levels and an under 16 division. “At the ‘A’ level, Junior Gold is pretty competitive, as good as a lot of high school teams,” said Greene. White Bear Lake has won two Junior

Gold state championships (1999 and 2000) while placing second once and third twice. State tournaments have been played since 1993. The season is up to 45 games. There’s 24 games in the Metro Hockey League, four tournaments in the regular season, then playoffs, all compressed into 2 1/2 months. They can’t hold tryouts until late November, after the high school tryouts. This season, White Bear Lake’s A team didn’t do well in league (3-15-6) but made state again, lost in the first round and won twice for the consolation title. Casey Rief had two of the eight goals in the tournament and T.J. Gerard, Michael Kruse, Ike Anderson, Dustin Goetti, Isaiah Hedberg and Sam Yobbie one each. A highlight this year was beating Edina in the finals of White Bear Lake’s Jeffrey Hayne Tournament. Junior Gold has attracted as many as 100 players in the past but the numbers are down now, as more kids are electing to quit after bantams if they don’t make the high school team. Greene will continue to help the White Bear Hockey Association, especially to spread the word about Junior Gold: “I’ll do what I can to let kids know there is another good place to play hockey after ninth grade,” he said.

Mahtomedi’s hoops all-star shines alongside state’s best BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Parker Fox missed his main senior-year goal, the state tournament, but was able to cap his prep career by showing in the all-star games last weekend that he belongs with the state’s best. Mahtomedi's 6-foot-7 forward scored 59 points in two games, helping the Blue team capture the Minnesota Coaches Association All-Star Series championship. Fox tallied 29 points in a 132-112 win over the Green team Friday evening at St. Cloud State. He scored 30 in the championship game as Blue beat Gold 141-127 Saturday at Macalester. In that game, he shot 14-for-18 with five dunks while grabbing eight rebounds. In these free-wheeling all-star games, where little defense is played and few whistles are blown, Fox was the fourth-leading scorer among 40 senior standouts on four teams. Minneapolis North’s Isaac Johnson scored 68, De La Salle’s Goanar Mar 67 and Irondale’s Sean Sutherlin 64. Fox averaged 24 points in a 24-4 Mahtomedi season that ended in a section finals loss to Columbia Heights. He was honored by the St. Paul Pioneer Press as one of seven finalists for their metro player of the year award. The Northern State recruit was just the second Mahtomedi boy to play in the all-star series, now in its 31st year, joining Zach Lindquist (2013).

Four Level 8 gymnasts, Ella Z., Lily P., Maddy R. and Rayna E., were among the top eight gymnasts out of 160 competitors. These girls, all ages 10-11, earned a spot on the Minnesota Regional Super 8 team. They will compete against other state teams in the seven state region (Minnnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri and Nebraska) later this month. Five Flips Level 10 gymnasts also qualified for the regional gymnastics championships, which is held in Sioux Falls, S.D. in April. Emma E., Lauren D., Olivia M., Rachel P., Jordyn L. hope to qualify to the Nationals Championships, which are held in Indianapolis in May. “Flips Gymnastics has always had strong teams, but taking home the championship title has been the goal for years and the girls came through strong this year,” said Lori Roskoski of Flips.

Louise Dillery shared about her experience as a Jewish teenager in occupied France during World War II at White Bear Lake Area High School – North Campus March 30.

Holocaust survivor gives live history lesson BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Sophomores had a live history lesson from a Jewish Holocaust survivor last week. Louise Dillery (Gradstein) was 16 when her father was taken away from their home in Paris to a concentration camp. She never saw him again, she said. Her mother had passed away of tuberculosis just before World War II began and she had no siblings, so she lived on her own with the help of teachers and friends until a St. Paul family sponsored her move to the U.S. several years later. That family spent their summers in the cottage town of Mahtomedi, she noted. Louise described the liberation of Paris in August 1944 as a “beautiful ending to four years of nightmare.” She had watched the French flag lowered and the swastika raised at a square in Paris with her father four years prior. “It was just like a snake going up,” she remembered, noting it was the only time she saw her father cry except when her mother died. When Paris was liberated, Louise stood without her father in the same square and watched the French flag go back up. She and a friend were bold enough to practice their English with an American GI and even danced with him, she said. “Then he got away from us,” she remembered. Louise, as her teenage self, described the American soldiers as “each one a movie star, I swear.” She later married an American GI who was an alum of White Bear Lake High School – John Dillery. He had worked to liberate Belgium during WWII. “They are my saviors, my champions, my angels, my heroes,” she said of American soldiers who gave their lives. “I owe them my life.” Louise's parents met in Paris after both had escaped persecution against Jews in Poland. Her mother's father had been beaten for his ethnicity and died, so she had moved away. Louise’s father left home at the age of 14 because in those days Russians would raid Jewish homes and take their sons. Her father also changed his first name — it was supposed to be Israel. But that didn't save his life. When the Nazis invaded Belgium, people in Paris panicked and moved in with relatives in the French countryside. But Louise's family didn't have relatives, so they stayed in Paris. She described it as a “ghost town.” Then the Nazis occupied Paris in 1940. Slowly, propaganda started, she said. Residents were given ration coupons for food. Then Jews 16 years and older were

required to go to their local town hall to get a new identification card. “In bright, red letters they stamped, ‘Jewish,’” she remembered. Jews were not allowed in movie theaters, museums, parks and had restrictions on the times they could go to stores. They were also not allowed to go to school beyond eighth grade, she said. But her teacher allowed her come to school. “My teacher risked her life to let Jewish girls be in school,” she said. One day one of her classmates disappeared — Louise later learned her family had been arrested and deported. In Paris, they didn't know exactly where the disappearing people went. There was no TV and the radio was controlled by the regime. “We didn't know about concentration camps in those days,” she said. One day in 1942, when her father was sick with stomach ulcers, Louise went to the town hall to get their monthly ration coupons. On her way home, she realized she was being followed by two men but did not know what to do. They followed her home and took her father away. She later learned her father had not suffered long — a man deported at the same time who survived said he died right away — likely standing up in a cattle car on the way to Auschwitz. She also learned the two men dressed in civilian clothes took away Jews, without orders, to get bonuses. They were later tried for war crimes and executed by firing squad. Louise was often afraid the Nazis were coming for her next, as she remained alone in her family's apartment. Friends took her in when there were raids. A priest helped pay her rent and school staff helped pay for her books. “I've had so many angels in human form in my life I cannot begin to tell you,” she told the theater full of White Bear Lake Area High School history students. Freshman Isaac Maruyama said hearing Louise speak helped him understand what it really meant when Germany invaded France during WWII. Those details are just not in history books, he added. Sophomore Bela Larsen said Louise helped her connect distant factual information with emotional reality. She said she will forget what half of her history textbook says, but will never forget Louise's story. Louise has spoken to White Bear Lake Area High School history students for three years. She is 91 years old and lives in Oakdale. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@ presspubs.com.

After spending much of the month below normal, March marked the 19th month in a row of above normal temperatures. I think if we’re going to break this streak, May would be our best chance. Judging by this past weekend’s temperatures, especially Saturday’s high of 65°, I wouldn’t bet the farm on May ending this streak. We’ve been experiencing dry weather the past couple of months. I expect as the jet stream begins to lift north over the next couple months, we’ll see an increase in rainfall as well.

Green thumbs wanted for gardening initiative "In addition to the lumber commitments, Rehbein’s Black Dirt in Hugo has graciously offered to provide nutrient-rich, screened topsoil at a significantly reduced cost and free delivery," Harms added. There are currently 50 raised-bed gardens available for adoption, so he encourages interested gardeners to express their interest soon. A family therapist by day, Harms was encouraged by a friend and neighbor to start Giving Gardens, "as he and I shared conversation around hunger," he recalled. "The book ‘Confronting Suburban Poverty in America’ was also a key and influential read for me in understanding the background of poverty in our community. "Some may call me a dreamer and idealist, but I maintain the belief that people long for interpersonal and community experiences that are genuine and authentic," Harms said. "Giving Gardens exists to create conversation around community partnership and cohesion, identifying community challenges, and using our shared common values to rally support around solutions to challenges we face as a community of neighbors." Monetary donations are also welcome to cover start-up expenses for topsoil, seed and accessories. Harms hopes to raise $1,800 for the initiative. For more information about Giving Gardens, contact Chris Harms at 651-3319219 or christopherrharms@gmail.com.

A White Bear Township resident has founded Giving Gardens, a new organic movement to build community awareness of local food insecurity. It is Chris Harms’ mission to "build the concept of local sustainability through neighbors growing produce for neighbors in need of healthy food." "Giving Gardens will benefit the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf, as well as other local food shelves and service organizations," Harms said. "We are seeking out individuals who wish to participate in the fight against hunger in our community by raising fresh produce for neighbors in need, and serving as a forum of conversation that identifies community values and community participation." The gardening initiative works like this: • If you already have a garden, you can donate a percentage of the produce you raise. • You can adopt a free raised bed garden for your home, business, church, etc. Giving Gardens will supply the 4x8 foot raised bed structure, dirt and seed, so you are ready to start growing. You just provide the space and the gardening skills. Giving Gardens just asks that part of the produce grown be donated to a local food shelf. • Harms needs folks to help deliver the wood structures and dirt, produce collection, etc. His project has already garnered support from local businesses that have stepped up to donate material supplies. Harms has received lumber commitments from Universal Forestry Products and Structural Wood Corp. in White Bear Lake and J.L. Schwieters Lumber Supply in Hugo.

Local family takes weekly mission trip BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Nearly every Wednesday, one White Bear Lake resident makes a Hobby Lobby run to get craft supplies for her family's weekly journey to the heart of St. Paul. Rossana Johnson is a volunteer teacher at a youth mentoring program at Payne Evangelical Free Church, an urban neighborhood church in St. Paul's east side. Every Thursday, she, her husband Jeff and 12-year-old son Samuel mentor students on Bible lessons and life choices. “It's almost like going on a mission trip every week for us,” said Jeff, who has lived in downtown White Bear Lake since 1989. The trio has been volunteering as a family at Payne Free for three years. Rossana said the kids she mentors every week have become like family as well.

“I can hardly wait to see them,” she said. Rossana grew up like many of the youth do — with absent fathers. Her mom was married six times, she said. She understands the power another adult can play in a child's life. When she was young, a neighbor took her to church. “She took me under her wing,” she said. Now Rossana wants to pass on the hope she received. She teaches with visual props and hands-on activities. Last Thursday, she made a crown of thorns to teach about Easter and Jeff passed it around the room while she read a book. Students also walked down a cross pathway she created to find Easter cupcakes at the end — an example of the good results of walking God's way, she told the youth. Jeff and Rossana said they get ideas for teaching the youth from their home church — Eagle Brook Church-White Bear Lake Campus — where they also

help in the Sunday school program. “We want to teach them about the hope that Jesus freely offers anyone,” Jeff said. The mentoring program includes a meal, playtime, large group lesson, games and mentoring time. About 10 adults mentor between 20 and 30 youth in both elementary and middle school programs. Laura Bonsell, of Vadnais Heights, has mentored students in the middle school program since 2015. She also gives rides to students from St. Paul's East Side and Frogtown neighborhoods since some of the families don't have cars, she said. One mentor, Jacques Campbell-Wood, 19, is giving back what he gained from the mentoring program. He started coming to children's programs at Payne Free when he was about 6. Now he mentors children himself. “I've helped grow the ones behind

me,” he said, noting he appreciates that church leadership has let him become a leader himself. The “love and support of the church” helped him to make good choices as a youth, he said. Payne Evangelical Free Church has held a children's program since it began 30 years ago. About 10 years ago, it changed its weekly kids' program to focus on mentoring youth in groups of two or three, said Pastor Larry Willman. Youth have benefited from stronger relationships with adults since the higher student-teacher ratio was implemented, he noted. The church is always looking for more mentors, the Johnsons said. For more information visit http://www.paynefreechurch.org or call 651-771-0480. Sara Marie Moore can be reached at 651-407-1235 or vadnaisheightsnews@ presspubs.com.
