Single high school, new elementary possible answer to growing enrollment

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The consensus of a White Bear Lake Area Schools facilities planning committee is to solve the district's growing enrollment by going back to a one-campus high school model by putting an addition on North Campus. The facility also concluded that a new elementary school is needed in Hugo.

The committee will present its ideas to the school

board April 22. The facility planning committee of 90 staff, parents and community members has been discussing needed facility updates and expansions this school year to address the district's growing enrollment and aging facilities. A demographer last school year predicted enrollment would increase in White Bear Lake Area Schools to between about 8,700 and 9,000 within five years and between about 8,900 and 9,400 within 10 years, according to district documents. It is about 8,600 this year. Current capacity is 8,700.

Three subcommittees of 30 each discussed for 35 hours this winter, said Tim Wald, superintendent of finance and operations. The committees addressed learning space, community space and physical conditions.

Restaurateur facing 6 felony counts for underpaying sales tax

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Acqua owner Daron Close readily admits he is much better at preparing Ragu alla Bolognese than he is at accounting.

Bookkeeping errors have landed the restaurant owner and his limited liability company in hot water with the state department of revenue.

The White Bear Lake resident was charged April 5 in Ramsey County District Court with six felony counts for failure to pay $13,000 in sales tax from 2015 to 2017.

A state investigator compared monthly sales tax reports submitted by Close with credit and debit card transactions, which revealed an underreporting of sales tax, according to the criminal complaint. A laptop taken during a search last June at both the Close residence and Acqua contained monthly sales reports from 2013 to 2017. Sales recorded in the “Restaurant Manager” software were compared with restaurant point of sales. The investigator felt six of 10 months were “substantially underreported” and charged Close and DC Restaurants LLC with a felony for each month.

Close took full responsibility for the discrepancy, telling the investigator he did not know why the amount was underreported.

The restaurateur, who co-owns Acqua White Bear Lake, Mizu and two Meet Markets in White Bear and Forest Lake through the LLC, said he sent a letter to the investigator months ago saying he was happy to pay the sales tax, with interest and penalty.

The business has undergone five audits in the last eight years, Close said, which is not uncommon for restaurants.

“Thinking back, we had so much going on; we grew so fast. They found things we weren't reporting. It was nothing I was trying to hide, just a lack of knowledge about taxes. My issue has

always been a lack of a grasp on the accounting.”

If there was an error found, Close paid it. “I never contested anything,” he maintained.

“The state gives you 30 days to pay or your liquor license is taken away.”

The business has weathered some fi nancial hits regarding taxes. A tax audit for Acqua Forest Lake once showed a discrepancy of more than $80,000. After years of losing money, the Forest Lake restaurant closed last year along with Pi Pizzeria, The Grill at Forest Hills and a Meet Market in Stillwater.

“As much as it hurt to close, we were losing more with those four than (we were) making in our other four,” Close said. “We had to protect the four we had.”

There have been other discrepancies, too, but Close stressed that he never argues with the revenue department and always pays the amount and associated penalties.

“I thought everything was in the rearview mirror. I told the investigator moving forward I was not doing any of the accounting. What I've learned in this business is the biggest difficulty we've had and the reason we struggled to grow into Forest Lake is a poor sense of accounting.

We are great at running restaurants, but we could never grasp the accounting for eight businesses. That piece got away from us.”

The felony charges took him by surprise. “I was waiting to hear,” he said. “This has been an ongoing investigation. The fi rst week in April I thought I would hear whether they were fi ling a charge. They fi led charges that Friday before I had even seen it (he was charged by summons).

Then it was in the Star Tribune on Monday (April 8). I couldn't even defend it. That was tough. Everything we've done from day one is with integrity and in the best interest of our staff and our community. It's unfortunate something like this throws a dark cloud on our people and everything we try to do each day.”

Close, 42, hopes the issue gets resolved quickly.

He has no plans to contest his case although he has retained an attorney. His fi rst court appearance is scheduled for May 7. “I'm hoping the court will see our history of being honest and forthright,” he noted.

Meanwhile, the company is stable, Close assured, and the restaurants are open for business.

Acqua White Bear Lake, in fact, is celebrating 10 years on June 1. Not an easy feat. “Yes, the restaurant business is tough,” he said. “It's a lot harder than it used to be. Every day we try to be honest in everything we do; honest in the food we serve and the prices we charge.”

WASHINGTON — District 4 Congresswoman Betty McCollum (DFL-Minn.) took first place in a recent Minnesota Delegation Hotdish Competition with her entry “Hotdish A-Hmong Friends.”

The ninth annual competition, hosted by Sen. Tina Smith (DFL-Minnesota), featured entries of Minnesota’s signature dish from every member of the state’s Congressional delegation.

“One of the largest Hmong communities in the United States is in Minnesota’s Fourth Congressional District,” Rep. McCollum said. “I’m so excited that my ‘Hotdish A-Hmong Friends’ recipe took first place in this year’s friendly congressional competition. Our state’s favorite comfort food unites Minnesotans from all walks of life. Thank you to Sen. Smith for continuing this tradition, and to all of my colleagues for sharing their recipes with us today.”

Bunny, human suits

I

still remember when one of my childhood friends made a big announcement: she no longer believed Santa Claus was real but she still believed in the Easter Bunny.

While her thinking seemed illogical to me, I tried to understand where she was coming from. As for me, I never remembered believing Santa Claus was anything but a fun person in a suit. My theory about the Easter Bunny was built off my theory of Santa Claus. But for my friend, who had believed the Santa Claus story for years until she realized Santa Claus looked, sounded and acted differently at the mall every year, the Easter Bunny offered a more believable alternative. The Story Easter Bunny was rather elusive in the ‘90s. He didn’t show up at Chaser many community Easter egg hunts Sara Marie Moore like he does today. A child couldn’t see the Easter Bunny appears to be a person in a suit, so it could make sense the mysterious bunny fi lled the fields overnight with plastic chicken eggs. I didn’t tell my friend but I was still convinced that the Easter Bunny was also a person in a suit.

This week, millions of people around the world will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, a man who was crucified about 2,000 years ago for claiming to be God in human form. The report of his resurrection has caused millions of people around the world to believe his claims to be God and build their lives around his teachings recorded by four fi rst-century reporters: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

Over the centuries, several theories have surfaced to try to refute the reporting of Jesus’ resurrection, according to the “Handbook of Christian Apologetics,” by Peter Kreeft and Ronald K. Tacelli.

First, some people have theorized that Jesus did not really die on the cross but that he was simply revived after resting in the tomb. However, John reported that blood and water came from Jesus’ heart when it was pierced by those checking to make sure he was dead. Death by asphyxiation or hypovolemic shock would cause water to build up around the heart.

Others say perhaps the disciples hallucinated that they saw Jesus after he died. However, people touched Jesus after he rose from the dead. He was consistent in his appearance and personality. He appeared to multiple individuals and groups for over a month. Group hallucinations are rare. Luke reported about 500 people saw Jesus at once after he was resurrected. When the Apostle Paul was spreading the report of the resurrection further west, he noted that many of these 500 were still alive, available for questioning.

Another argument against the resurrection is that Jesus’ followers and the reporters created a conspiracy. It is not very plausible such a conspiracy could have been perpetrated considering how difficult it would have been to take Jesus’ body from a guarded tomb and destroy the evidence so quickly. Conspiracies are usually found out, especially when a group has adversaries. It is doubtful that 3,000 people in the area would have become Christians within a couple of months if the resurrection had been made up.

That a man named Jesus rose from the dead in the Middle East about 2,000 years ago is not really a disputed fact of history. Who you think he was, how and why he rose from the dead and what it means for your life is a matter of personal decision and faith.

As for me, I still believe He was God in a human suit. If those reporters got the resurrection right, I believe they quoted Him accurately, too.

I

Easter abundance: more than enough

was in the grocery store the other day, just before the latest, and hopefully last, winter storm. I was purchasing ingredients to make a birthday cake for my oldest son. It was later at night, and the woman at the check-out looked tired. I asked her how her day was going, and she told me that she still had a couple of hours to go before she could head home to her Movers & family. This was second job, Shakers her and she reported Rev. Art Hancock that she hoped to get a few hours of sleep before beginning another long day tomorrow. And then she said these words: “you know, its just never enough… never enough money, never enough time, never enough sleep.”

While she was looking at and speaking to me, I believe that her words were intended for a much larger audience, to the universe at large perhaps, or maybe to God. I sensed that her words, spoken from the depth of her being, spoken out of a sense of exhaustion and mild desperation, framed an authentic prayer of languish.

A palpable hint of hopelessness

seemed to be lurking just beneath her words. And further, I realized that her prayer framed the feelings of so many of us, at least at this time of the year.

It has been a long, long winter. The trees have been devoid of leaves for months and only recently has the ice begun to release its fi rm grip on our lakes. Throughout the winter, our national media has doggedly reported the tragedies of individuals and the many divisions among our people. Each week, most of us experience at least some degree of brokenness in our work or our families or our community.

All of this is a reality. All of this can and does lead many of us to experience hopelessness and to feel, like the check-out woman at the grocery store, that there is never enough… money or time or energy or goodwill or love to fi x all that is lacking or fractured.

But these feelings can trick us. They can delude us into thinking that scarcity is the only truth, or the predominant truth of our lives.

At Easter we are given a glimpse of a different and much larger truth. It is a truth that lies beneath and beyond any experience of scarcity. It is the primordial, foundational truth of abundant life. Whatever else

Easter may be about, it is about proclaiming that the Source of all life, that which many of us refer to as “God,” is with us and for us and is breathing abundant life into existence each day, each hour, each minute, each moment. Even when our lives seem so broken, and even when we feel that there is just never enough, God speaks the deeper truth that all shall be well. The Easter message is that love is more fierce than hatred. The Easter proclamation is that good is more powerful than bad. At Easter, God demonstrates that life is stronger than death. And at Easter we remember that God, the Source of all abundant life, will never give up on us.

So, if this day you are feeling a bit hopeless… if you are feeling that there is just never enough… if you are feeling that winter will never end and spring will never come… Take heart and be of good courage. All shall be well. Spring will come. The trees will once again blossom.

The waters will again flow.

There is more than enough. God, the Source of all that is good and true and beautiful, brings abundant life and offers it to all.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

C t Cartoon on closed l d retailers spot on The cartoon by Joe Heller in your April 1 edition was spot on. The victims of online ordering depicted were primarily large retailers that have ceased to exist or are in the process of going out of business.

What amazes me is when I go to the local White Bear post office, the line to get to the counter is out the door, and over half of the people waiting in that line are returning online purchases. They want the convenience of having their purchases delivered to the door of their home and then drive to the post office and stand in line to return it. It doesn’t compute for me. If we don’t shop brick-andmortar stores, they will go out of business and there will only be a few big online suppliers. We all know what happens when there is no competition: prices go up and service goes down. White Bear Lake is very blessed to have a vibrant downtown area, but if we don’t support those small businesses, they will soon go the way of Sears, Toys R Us, Payless, Shopko and, most recently, Creative Kids Stuff. Put your device away and go browsing in a brick-and-mortar store. You might be surprised.

Need study on impact of lead exposure Thanks to the White Bear Press for all of your great coverage of the Water Gremlin situation. As someone who lives nearby, this is very concerning to me. It was good to learn about the proposed actions now being considered by

th i l t B t one issue i the L Legislature.

But that I didn't notice in the proposed items was a study on the impact of lead exposure on the employees of Water Gremlin and even on their families because of potential lead contamination of shoes and work clothing, which then could spread lead out of the plant into the neighborhood and homes.

I'd like to see more attention given to identifying and eliminating the risks of lead exposure on Water Gremlin employees and their families and providing compensation and remediation for any damage done. This is particularly relevant in the light of the accompanying Press story about swans dying from lead poisoning, which shows just how dangerous this compound is.

Try a trail on Bald Eagle Boulevard I am so happy to see the possibility of trying a one-way trail on a portion of Bald Eagle Boulevard.

This is such a dangerous walk, bike or run and I can’t wait to see it happen. I know there are some folks that are totally against even trying it out, but this is our chance to just work together and show that at least a trial should be given a chance. I can’t tell you how often my walking partner Ida and I have driven to Lake Avenue to walk and enjoy White Bear Lake. It’s about time we get to walk in our own neighborhood without worrying about getting hit and/or killed — yes, it’s that dangerous! As I watch all the runners, walkers and bikers go by our house, I worry that they

Need larger easement to Bald Eagle Lake We are against a one-way on the east and south end of Bald Eagle Boulevard. The only people who will benefit from this are the homeowners who actively every year try to make this happened.

Their reasoning is that it will be safer for people to access the lake.

If that is the case, I would like to see police reports that have any pedestrian/vehicle accidents. The benefit these homeowners get is more accessibility to the lake for them, because the traffic would be one-way. We also feel for those of us who go downtown White Bear Lake. A one-way would cause us to either use side streets causing those neighborhoods more traffic, or shop somewhere else. I am sure the merchants would appreciate that.

We would like to see accessibility improved for the rest of population by making the easements larger. Maybe even parking for people who want to enjoy the lake on the east side. A pier for kids to go fi shing, bike rack, picnic tables. That way the whole community could enjoy the lake too.

No need for trail test around Bald Eagle The murmuring about a "trail" around Bald Eagle Lake is back again. The highly successful oneway on Lake Street next to White

B k iis th i i ti I Bear L Lake the inspiration. understand. I agree.

There is no need to do a "test." The roads at the south end of Bald Eagle Lake have a built-in solution that has been ignored for decades. The use of the "right-of-way" provides the space to create a raised "trail."

Let's look at this in three sections: East Bald Eagle - perfect for a oneway. West Bald Eagle - two sections: from Bald Eagle Avenue, west to the stop sign - keep two-way traffic, but put the trail next to the road on the north side. Perhaps add some right-of-way from the south side of the road. From the stop sign to H2, extend the road to the west and put the trail next to the lake.

For residents north of H2, such as West Oaks, two-way traffic is needed down to Bald Eagle Avenue.

This area is "land-locked" and there are no good alternatives to and from downtown White Bear Lake.

And here is the "bonus" to the above. My experience is that about 90% of the traffic heading north on West Bald Eagle is turning west onto H2. Also these drivers tend to be the "speedier" drivers. Make West Bald Eagle north only at H2 when approaching from the south.

South bound traffic from the north could go straight past H2 or turn west. Eastbound H2 traffic could go north or south on West Bald Eagle.

A tricky intersection, but surely it could be designed and for extra security, put in cameras to catch those trying to go the wrong way to the west on H2 approaching from the south.

Let's not delay with a "test" - get on with the improvements per the above design.

OBITUARY NOTICES

Leonard John Kolodziej Leonard John Kolodziej, age 68 of Goodyear, Arizona, died March 22, 2019.

He was born February 21, 1951 in St. Paul to Leo and Lorraine Kolodziej. Lenny graduated from White Bear Lake High School in White Bear Lake. His first job was at McDonalds. He would work his shift inside and then join his friends outside in the parking lot where they would gather and hang out. It was in that parking lot that he first met his wife, Joyce. They were married for 45 years – an easy feat, according to Joyce, when you are married to your best friend. Joyce and Lenny moved to Arizona in 1975. He worked as the locksmith for the Phoenix Elementary School District until retirement.

In his free time, Lenny coached Little League Baseball. He was involved in Little League for so many years that his baseball connections are far reaching and he is known as “Coach” to many young men. He was the kind of man who would go out of his way to help others. He would do anything for anyone and he continued his habit of assisting others until his body would no longer cooperate. As kind-hearted as Lenny was, he also liked to pull off practical jokes. He had a train air-horn in his diesel truck and he got great pleasure out of surprising people with it! He loved to be out and about. Dutch Brothers became a favorite place to hang out with the music playing and all the people to watch. He would always see someone he knew and would strike up a conversation until it was time to “blow this popsicle stand.”

Lenny is survived by his wife, Joyce Johnson Kolodziej; daughter, Jennifer Kolodziej; sister, Lynn (Gerry) Strenke; brothers, Larry (Lynda) and Lyle Kolodziej; and his favorite dog, Zoe. He was preceded in death by his parents, Leo and Lorraine Kolodziej.

A memorial service was held Saturday, April 13, 2019 at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ 85338. Condolences for the family may be left at www.ThompsonFuneralChapel.com.

There will be a celebration of his life this summer.

Date, time and place to be determined.

Joan Purcell Murray Passed away on April 11.

Joan is survived by her children Timothy, Teresa (Greg), Jonathan (Elisse) and Ryan (Jennifer). She will be fondly remembered by her eight grandchildren Michael (Melissa), Katherine (Jason), Desneiges, Madeline, Samantha, Dylan, Caden and Jackson; and three great-grandchildren Joseph, Piper and Rosalie.

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

Vadnais Heights • A catalytic converter was cut from a work vehicle in the 400 block of Oak Grove Parkway over the weekend and reported the morning of April 1. No suspects.

• A 55-year-old local man driving erratically just missed colliding with another vehicle on County Road E the morning of April 1. He was charged with third-degree DWI and booked into jail.

• A motorist, who can now say he has “seen everything,” reported seeing a couple in costume dancing shortly after midnight on — you guessed it — April Fool’s Day on the railroad tracks in the area of eastbound I-694 and northbound Highway 61. The pair was gone when the deputy arrived.

• Three chickens bit their guard dog the morning of April 4 in the 3900 block of Stockdale Drive.

That was it for the chickens, thanks to the guard dog’s canine pals, who jumped a fence and meted out the fatal punishment. Chicken and dog owners agreed to meet and work out a plan for restitution.

• A plucky therapy beagle was attacked April 4 by a pair of American pit bulls in the 800 block of County Road D. Unspecified injuries occurred and the pit bulls’ owner agreed to pay the vet bills before his dogs were impounded at St. Paul Animal Control.

SCHOOL FACILITIES: Potential $326 million referendum FROM PAGE 1A

configuration, among other needs. The 90-member committee came to a consensus at its April 4 meeting on what ideas to recommend to the school board.

“There were a wide variety of options considered, and there were a lot of conversations about what would serve our school community in the best way possible for the next generation,” stated Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak.

“The plan that will be presented to the board was agreed upon by all of those in attendance at the final meeting, so this is truly a plan that was developed in a very engaging and collaborative way.”

Taken into account was the cost to the community and how students would be affected, Engwer said.

A one-campus high school with additions at North Campus will be recommended because it is centrally located, Engwer said. Students shouldn’t have a 25-minute commute to school, she noted.

Currently, freshman and sophomores attend North Campus and juniors and seniors attend South Campus. The committee will recommend adding onto the current campus rather than building a new school because the cost difference is about $100 million, Engwer said. Preliminary pricing estimates the cost of the high school addition at $179 million, including $6 million to potentially purchase 21 houses, according to facility documents.

“Eventually they would like to build a field house where Central and the district office is,” Engwer said. “There is not just quite enough land.” Engwer said the district would be looking to purchase houses if residents are interested in selling.

She said she doesn’t think the district wants to use eminent domain.

During a committee second-round straw poll in March, 41 of 52 votes supported a single high school campus at the current North Campus location, according to committee documents. Five people voted for a new high school on a new site, three for a new building at North Campus, one for one high school at South Campus, one for a high school in the southern part of the district and one in Hugo, and one to maintain the status quo.

All the options cost similar amounts, except a brand-new high school that would be more expensive, Engwer said.

The one-campus plans at North, if approved by the school board and a bond referendum passes, could potentially be implemented within five years.

South Campus could be middle school South Campus would become a middle school and Sunrise Park Middle School would become an early childhood center, Engwer said. Included in preliminary pricing documents is a middle school capacity addition at an estimated $8 million and middle school program needs at $12 million.

Sunrise Park Middle School would also include senior programming and district offices, according to committee documents. Renovating Sunrise is expected to cost $17 million. Central Middle School could expand to the current district office building.

“Central would stay a middle school until they decided to build a new middle school on the north end as well — 10 years down the road,” Engwer said.

A new middle school is part of phase three plans, 10 to 20 years from now. Also included in phase three plans are moving the stadium to North Campus and buying more houses. Central Middle School and the district office building could be demolished.

Need for new elementary school in Hugo A new elementary school in Hugo will also be needed in the near future, according to committee research. The committee wanted to save the $100 million that would have built a “shiny new high school” for elementary improvements, Engwer said.

The district recently executed purchase agreements on land in Hugo for a new school. The new elementary school would perhaps go on that land, although plans are still in the works. The northern part of the district has been growing, Engwer noted, and there was talk among the committee of having two K-5 schools in the north. Hugo Elementary could become an early childhood center.

“Everyone leaned toward Hugo being a preK center along with Normandy Park or Sunrise,” Engwer said.

Last school year, a strategic planning team identified free preschool for all district families as one of the district’s goals, according to Press archives.

At the March straw poll, 42 of 51 votes preferred the new elementary school for 720 students, according to committee documents. It is expected to cost $43 million.

Elementary additions for other schools would cost $15 million. Additions might be put on Oneka Elementary and Otter Lake elementary schools to increase their capacity to 720, Engwer said.

SUBMITTED

A White Bear Lake Area Schools facilities planning committee suggests putting an addition on North Campus (in orange) to create a one-campus high school model.

Phase 1 bond referendum $326 million The committee indicated new classroom furniture and remodeling media centers as a top priority over elementary multipurpose labs and flex spaces, according to committee documents. Media remodels and new furniture for all levels is expected to cost about $21 million. The district also may need land for a new bus garage, at $8 million.

A bond referendum, expected to be about $326 million, would be needed to fund the phase one updates. The tax impact for a referendum between $300350 million would be about $180-300 more per year for a home valued at $300,000, according to committee documents.

About $50 million in costs for phase one upgrades would be covered by longterm facility maintenance (LTFM) funds.

The district already has an LTFM fund and the board can receive more funding from the state, Wald said. It can be used for maintenance-type items during renovations, such as roofs, HVAC upgrades and other repairs.

“These 90 people really were very thoughtful in how this is going to affect the community and not just the students,” Engwer said. There was lots of discussion about the pros and cons. The goal was to come up with plans that would have a lasting impact on the district’s growing enrollment needs without throwing money left and right, she said.

“The committee developed needs statements based on the district’s current reality and our projected growth,” Kazmierczak stated. “The group then shifted into the development of solutions to those needs that were identified. The potential tax impact was a significant part of the discussion. The committee believes that this would be a much-needed investment in our schools, and there was a lot of excitement around the plan that emerged.”

The committee will make a master plan recommendation with more details to the school board during a workshop at 5:30 p.m. April 22 at the district center.

REFRESHER: In 20 years, these sites could look drastically different FROM PAGE 1A

community and defi nes the physical landscape.”

Kane provided the summary, emphasizing that staff wanted to review the land use piece and reguiding before the next council meeting.

Adoption of the draft document was originally scheduled for last week's agenda but pushed back to April 23 for council action. If approved, the preliminary Comp Plan will be distributed to neighboring communities for review.

The city planner reiterated that “reguiding” and/or identification of opportunity sites does not affect how current owners enjoy their properties or run their businesses. “Current use can continue in perpetuity until the owner chooses to sell or redevelop,” Kane said. “Ideally, over the next 21 years, these properties will slowly, at a manageable pace, turn over in concurrence with the Comprehensive Plan. The future land use classification provides the city's vision of the desired use for various sites throughout the community.”

The city is expected to add more than 1,500 residents, 500 jobs and 1,200 households between 2020 and 2040, per the Met Council. “As you're aware,” Kane told council, “the city is nearly fully built out. To accommodate anticipated growth, there are limited opportunities for development.”

Parcels have been identified by staff and Planning Commission members as “opportunity sites” or sites suitable for reguiding between now and 2040. Among those identified:

1. The Kyle property. Originally guided for open space, this 15-acre, single residential estate north of Hwy. 96 has been reguided to medium-density residential. “Judge and Mrs. Kyle have lived here 55 years and they hope a buyer would take it for the next 55 years, but they recognize potential for medium-density residential,” Kane said. Suitable for the property: multi-unit townhomes, fourplexes, or smaller-scale apartment and senior living facilities, consistent with the adjoining Pathways.

2. The Book Farm on the north end of the lake off Northwest Avenue and Hwy. 96. Staff has talked to the heirs, Kane said, regarding reguiding for medium density. The property is very wet, so allowances would be made for natural resource conservation.

3. Former public works site on Whitaker Street and Hwy. 61. Future plans for bus rapid transit makes this suitable for transit-oriented, mixeduse development; primarily residential with some commercial retail or service businesses. There are regulations that would not allow development of wetlands, Kane said.

4. Marina Triangle phase II, which includes the White Bear Shopping Center. Kane said this “reflects a desire to see intensification and reorientation to incorporate more residential in future.”

5. Goose Lake automotive dealerships. “There are changes every day in the automotive industry,” Kane pointed out, noting Walser Polar was identified for reguiding. “Will the auto industry be reliant on large car lots to sell inventory in the next 20 years? The presence along Goose Lake makes it appropriate for other uses, primarily residential, such as stacked multifamily housing, courtyard apartments, (or) townhomes and villas.”

6. Auto Dealers II. Includes King City and Continental Auto as a location for reguiding.

7. County Road E East and Linden Avenue. The entire block is slated for residential with some commercial retail. A developer will be requesting final PUD approval for the eastern 4.5 acres. It is anticipated the western 5-acre piece will likely develop in the same manner.

8. Wildwood Mall at Hwy. 120 and County Road E. The shopping center has struggled with vacancies, Kane said, adding the owner approached staff three or four years ago to discuss going residential on the corner. Potential redevelopment would include stacked multifamily housing, courtyard apartments, or townhomes.

9. County Road E and Bellaire Avenue. The four corners have been a challenge for many years. They are small sites. Envisioned: primarily residential with some commercial retail. “This will continue to be a focus of opportunity and goal for our department,” Kane said. “Hope we can make that a reality.”

10. Rooney's Farm. Considered an opportunity site for low-density residential. “Someday it will no longer be a farm,” Kane said. “We anticipate a cul-desac of single-family, detached homes, three to nine units/acre.”

11. Former Bellaire Clinic, 3220 Bellaire Ave. This is for sale; there have been few inquiries. Kane said a nearby townhome homeowners association has made inquiries. Slated for medium-density residential such as condos, townhomes, or senior-friendly housing.

12. Karth Road properties. “This is a beautiful property,” Kane said. The city owns several sites here off I-694 and McKnight. It would be reguided for high-density residential. “Area owners do not wish to sell, but we will wait patiently. What the city has in its favor is time,” she added.

13. Downtown opportunity sites. Staff anticipates more intense uses over the next 21 years. “The post office has never said anything to us, “but we know it's a changing program,” Kane said. “US Bank has been identified before. Also identified: City property at Fourth and Bloom and the Lowell triangle where the city and Lowell family own several properties.

Ice breaker Jason Brown uses the U.S.S. Minnow to break up ice in White Bear Lake’s Commercial Bay last week. Ice threatened the city’s new docks in front of Boatworks Commons so Brown, who manages the marina, powered the trusty steel-hulled boat through the frozen water.

White Bear Lake area’s population aging, diversifying

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

The population of the city of White Bear Lake hasn’t changed much since the 1970s, but the faces of the city have been changing over the decades.

The White Bear Lake area is aging and growing more racially and culturally diverse, said Kevin Donovan, Mahtomedi School Board member, at a historical presentation in Mahtomedi April 9. It was the third in the series, “The Many Faces of the White Bear Lake Area,” hosted by the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society and district community education programs.

Residents of color in White Bear Lake have been increasing along with the population of the metro area. According to research conducted by the Wilder Foundation, 10% of the White Bear Lake area’s current population are persons of color, Donovan said. That figure is 26% for the metro area. In the east metro, 3 in 10 residents are persons of color.

The White Bear Lake area has been aging along with the metro. In the 2000s, there were 52,000 seniors; in the 2010s there were 154,000, according to the Wilder Foundation.

The White Bear area has a larger percentage of seniors than the metro overall. In the metro, 13% of the population is over 65. In the White

Carol Venburg McFarlane shares what it was like to live in White Bear Lake during the ’60s.

Bear Lake area, 19% of residents are seniors.

The aging population correlates with the Baby Boom of the 1950s and ‘60s. At that time, White Bear Lake was also booming. The population of the city doubled over a decade — it was about 3,600 in 1950 and 12,800 in 1960, said Sara Markoe Hanson, historical society executive director. By 1970, the population was

about 23,300, on par with the 23,800 of the 2010 census. Some of that growth can be attributed to annexations of White Bear Township. The city was 2.2 square miles in 1950, 7 square miles in 1960 and 8.7 square miles in 1970.

But some of the growth is attributed to developments. The area was prime real estate, Hanson said.

An $8 million ($68.4 million in

today’s dollars) development with 400 homes south of the lake was approved by the White Bear Lake City Council in 1960, according to a White Bear Press article. Farmland began to turn into suburbs. The area was marketed to 3M employees; the 8-mile stretch between its global headquarters and southern White Bear Lake was named after the company’s chairman, William McKnight.

Carol Venburg McFarlane moved to a house east of McKnight Road with her family in 1959. “It was a 3M bedroom community,” she said.

She remembers walking across fields to go to the corner store.

There were few trees — her family was lucky enough to get a house where a farm’s grove of trees still stood. Clotheslines fi lled the landscape. Girls had to wear skirts, and she would get frostbite walking to and from Sunrise Middle School in the winter. She married a high school friend, Pat, and they moved back to the area to raise their children.

“I’ve seen a lot of changes, but one constant is friends, neighbors and volunteers,” she said. “It’s like a rural community surrounded by suburbs.”

The Many Faces series previously presented American Indian and European settler history in the area.

1944 The ice in the lake looks like it may go out at anytime, in fact, a heavy rain and some wind would probably do the trick. The old White Bear certainly went on a rampage this winter. Old timers say they never saw the ice tear up the shore in the manner it did this time. It plowed up and pushed the shore bank several feet back and several feet high. The cement stairway at the Clark avenue beach was pushed up past the avenue line and is suspended there. A few yards above it the big cement spillway 15 or 20 feet in length was ripped out and pushed up several feet to the avenue line. The concrete was broken and steel rods running through it were bent almost double.

WHITE BEAR LAKE AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY | SUBMITTED

Larry & Dorothy Johnson, owners of the Beach Tavern, ca. 1940. The other two people are not identified.

The concrete stands about five feet above the avenue line…

1969 Grand Opening – Leib’s Fashion Shop, located in the White Bear Lake Shopping Center. To mark their arrival in White Bear Lake, a special drawing is to be held in the store Saturday, April 26th, for a 1969 Zenith remote control TV. David Heckel will be managing the store…

1994 It’s official. The ice has gone out on Wednesday, April 6, according to official record keeper Benny Schmalzbauer. It’s a little earlier than average, average date is April 15. The earliest ice out occurred in 1945 when it went out on March 29 and the latest ice out was 1950 on May 4….

Curling catches on quickly as sports team for novices

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

There aren’t a lot of stats in curling, but White Bear Lake’s first-year club team has one the coaches found very gratifying — 24-for-24.

As in, 24 kids signed up, and all 24 were still there at the end, when the Bears concluded the inaugural season at an all-metro meet Saturday and Sunday, April 13-14.

“Curling is awesome,” was coach Tony Walfoort’s cheerful explanation for that.

This sport with four-person teams guiding a 40-pound “stone” along the ice to a target, which in their case is 114 feet away — it dates to 16th-century Scotland and filtered down to the “states” from Canada — seems to have quickly won over these two dozen teens despite almost all being novices.

“We had two individuals who had never picked up a curling broom before December,” said Walfoort.

The “novelty” of curling was the initial attraction, the coach figured. It also helps that the sport got a general boost in popularity when the USA men were surprise gold medalists at last year’s Olympics. And it’s a way to earn a school letter without having to outrun people or knock them over.

Students who came on board started recruiting each other, too. Most were not involved in another sport.

“Some of my friends were doing it, and I was free on Wednesdays, so why not?” said Gracie Fink, who’s involved in theatre and was previously in dance. “I didn’t really know much about curling. I had watched it during the Olympics, but that’s about it.”

The erstwhile non-athlete got hooked after joining with three classmates from North Campus; they teamed up and call themselves The Curling Gals.

“Curling is so much fun because it’s intricate enough to be challenging, but still beginner-friendly, so my friends and I, who are new to curling, can still compete in a tournament even though we only started practice a couple months ago.”

With 15 boys and nine girls, White Bear Lake had the largest roster of the six teams in last weekend’s tournament.

“I think part of the draw is that everyone plays an essential role, and the game moves pretty quick,” said Walfoort, who took up the sport with some high school buddies a few years ago. With just 30 to 60 seconds between throws, he elaborated, the sweepers get little rest, and throwers and skips have to be thinking about the next shot.

Nathan Hupert and Zander Farrell coax the stone toward the target in the all-metro meet Saturday, April 13 in Blaine.

Walfoort, who teaches 9th- and 10th-grade Social Studies, is assisted by Ben Kirkham and John Weisbrod, both Language Arts teachers, and Greg Jamieson, one of the parents who’s an experienced curler.

The club started practices and games in January on Wednesdays after school in Blaine. They were featured in a segment on Prepspotlight.TV in January.

Jerseys were created by UNRL, the St. Paul apparel firm founded by Bear alum Michael Jordan, for those who wanted to buy them. Parents pitched in for transportation.

White Bear Lake entered four teams in the All Metro High School Bonspiel (that’s the curling term for tournament) held at Four Seasons Curling Club in Blaine on Saturday and Sunday. The Bear teams placed second and fifth in Pool A, and second and fourth in Pool B. Other participants were Lakeville (three teams), Chaska, Blaine, Champlin Park, and Spring Lake Park.

Woolfort praised the inaugural team for having “greatly exceeded expectations” with their technique and the quality of their shots.

Bear team members included: Aaren Schmid (lead), Ryan Jamieson (2nd/3rd) andJohnathan Jamieson (skip, a Concordia Academy student); Lauren Schmid (skip), Cora Donoghue (3rd), Julia Lamwers (2nd) and Grace Fink (lead); David Krzoska (skip), Kirby Masso (3rd), Liam Konetchy (2nd) and Zander Farrell (lead); and Collin Downey (skip), Paul Johnson (3rd), Nathan Hupert (2nd) andJake Burket (lead). In addition, Kailey Halama participated with two Spring Lake Park students.

Local athlete, survivor of health crisis, snags two golds at world Special Olympics

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

A local Special Olympics athlete, Chris Tucker, captured two gold medals at the World Games in the United Arab Emirates last month.

Tucker, 21, whose life journey included a serious health crisis when he was 15, was competing in the high performance division. He won the shot put and 100 dash events.

“Special Olympics, and Chris’ teammates, have been part of his life since he was in foster care,” said his mother, Lauren Schmitz, who was his foster mom, and adopted him when he was 11.

“They have been a huge support system for Chris.”

A member of the USA Special Olympics Team, Tucker also ran on a relay team that placed fourth, in action at Abu Dhabi from March 14-21.

Tucker is a student in the District Project SEARCH program in the White Bear Lake Area school district. His Special Olympics team is Minneapolis Eagles. He is also a member of USA Track and Field.

An all-around athlete, he participates

in bowling, unified basketball and flag football. Tucker qualified for the world meet by winning shot put, the 100 and the 4x100 at the USA Games last summer in Seattle. Special Olympians compete in divisions according to their ability. His is high performance.

“Chris was very grateful for this opportunity,” said Schmitz. “He enjoyed competing against athletes from around the world and learning about different cultures.”

Attending the world games with him were his mother, grandmother Diane, uncle Brian, two foster siblings, and his coach, Chad, from the USA Games.

When Tucker was 15, he suffered from a cerebral AVM — an abnormal connection between arteries and veins — in his brain, and had two procedures to remove it.

The arteries and veins in an AVM can rupture, causing bleeding into the brain or spinal cord. The affliction was discovered when Chris fainted, causing his doctor to order an MRI. “It was very scary,” his mother acknowledged. “The risks of both having the surgery and not having the surgery were very high. Chris would visualize

being in Hawaii to try to relax.”

After the surgery, at Hennepin County Medical Center (now Hennepin Health), the teenager was very discouraged. He had lost his peripheral vision, was unable to stand or walk, and struggled to speak. His mother vowed to him that if he kept doing his physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and got himself back to school, she would take him to Hawaii after graduation.

Fortunately, HCMC’s program was effective. Tucker was walking on his own in the second week of therapy. It took a couple months to get his vision back to normal. He was able to rejoin the Special Olympics basketball team the next season and helped them win the state tournament. Lauren and Chris indeed made that trip to Oahu upon his graduation.

But he’s not completely out of jeopardy, as a small part of the AVM remains and is at risk of bleeding, his mother said. He had radiation treatment in the summer of 2017 and his surgeon continues to monitor him. “We’re hoping to get some good news soon,” Lauren said.

Archers qualify for national tournament The White Bear Lake archery team, pictured at left, placed four individuals in the top 10 at the state tournament in Duluth the weekend of March 29-30. Senior co-captain Anika Dahl placed 3rd overall in the High School girls division. Senior Jacob Spring placed 10th overall in High School boys division. Eighth-grader Morgan Anderle placed 1st overall in the middle school girls division. Fourth grader Sam Gabrielson placed 7th overall in the elementary boys division and 4th overall in the 3D elementary boys division. Placing in the top 10 in their categories qualifies them for the National Tournament in Louisville, Kentucky in May. Roughly 1,500 archers took part in the state tournament. Congratulations to the entire team for a great season and good luck at Nationals Submitted SUBMITTED

Hopping into spring … again IF YOU GO: WETLANDS WORKSHOP IN HUGO

BY ANGIE HONG CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The snow is melting again, which means that spring is just around the corner… again. Last weekend, I bundled up to walk the dog through 9 inches of fresh, fallen snow and paused with surprise when I encountered warmish air and dozens of birds singing from the trees. As the air continues to warm, we’ll hear other familiar sounds return to the chorus of spring – frogs and toads calling from neighborhood ponds and wetlands.

Minnesota is home to 14 species of frogs and toads. During the spring, their trilling, croaking, boinking sounds ring out as males search for females. These bouncing, boisterous amphibians can be found in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, farm fields, and even urban stormwater ponds.

Approximately half of all frogs and one-third of all salamander species in North America lay their eggs in ephemeral wetlands, also known as vernal or seasonal ponds. Seasonal wetlands form in low-lying areas and are usually only wet for a few weeks every year. These areas also provide habitat for migrating birds and insects such as dragonflies.

In addition to singing us gentle lullabies on spring and summer evenings, frogs and toads are part of the web of life. They become food for great blue herons, egrets and even mink. Tadpoles eat large amounts of algae and plankton, helping to keep the water clear, while adult frogs and toads eat a wide variety of creepy crawlies, including insects, slugs and snails. In fact, one toad can eat 10,000 bugs and slugs in a single summer.

Get advice on how to enhance your wetland yard with native plants and other landscaping features that add beauty, provide habitat, and help to protect water quality. Offered by Washington Conservation District. Thursday, April 25, 6-7:30 p.m. at Hugo City Hall. Register online at: tinyurl.com/wetgarden2019.

Leopard frogs and American toads remain common across Minnesota, but some species of frogs are on the decline.

The northern cricket frog, once found in southern Minnesota, has not been documented anywhere in the state for several years.

Spring peepers are disappearing from the Twin Cities metro area, and biologists suspect that loss of forested wetlands is to blame.

Frogs are also vulnerable to pollution from fertilizers and pesticides because they have porous skin that can absorb chemicals in water. These chemicals are especially deadly in the spring and early summer when frogs are laying eggs and tadpoles are hatching.

If you live near a lake or wetland, you’re probably already sharing your yard with frogs and toads. You can help to create a healthier habitat by leaving some of the grass unmowed near the edges of woods and water; using little or no chemicals on your lawn and gardens; and planting native plants along the water’s edge. Good plants for lake and wetland edges include sedges, blue fl ag iris, swamp milkweed, joe-pye weed, cardinal flower, black-eyed susans, and ferns.

Looking for a wetland to explore and listen to the chorus of spring? Here are a few local suggestions:

• Tamarack Nature Preserve in White Bear Township – the southern-most tamarack swamp in Minnesota and home to many rare plant species. The park features a floating boardwalk.

• Lake McKusick wetlands in Stillwater - look for birds and rare plant species while traversing the walking trails and boardwalk.

• William O’Brien State Park - low-lying seeps and springs nourish early spring wildflowers, while pothole wetlands on the ridge provide a welcome rest for traveling birds.

• Warner Nature Center - a quaking bog contains a miniature fantasy world, complete with carnivorous plants. The nature center is only open to the public during scheduled programs.

WHITE BEAR LAKE CITY COUNCIL NOTES WHITE BEAR LAKE — City Council conducted the following business at its April 9 meeting: • Approved request by Honsa Family Funeral Home, 2460 County Road E, to add 1,020 square feet to its building adjacent to a residential area.

A conditional use permit fi rst issued in 1993 was amended to allow the expansion. The addition will be used for casket display and office space. Owner Terry Honsa did not get her wish to remove evergreens bordering her parking lot. She wanted to remove every other tree to allow more sunlight to penetrate the lot, which gets icy

in the winter. “It's a safety issue. I would love to change from salt to solar,” Honsa told council. She was willing to replant 3-foot trees to replace the taller evergreens, but city code requires 6-foot trees.

• Approved a multifamily housing revenue note for Century Hills affordable townhomes project.

Century Hills Partners requested fi nal authorization of $6 million in tax exempt bonds to acquire and rehabilitate the 55-unit rental property at 3525 Century Ave. Per the agreement, 40% of the units will be affordable at 60% of the area median income. It was noted the owners intend to renew

their housing assistance payment contract with the Department of Housing and Urban Development when it expires in 2020, which will maintain 100% affordability for 20 years.

No one spoke during a public hearing.

• Awarded contract for 2019 street reconstruction project.

Four bids were received with the lowest submitted by Forest Lake Contracting Inc. for $2.1 million.

The low bid was 17% under the engineering estimate. A $9,000 incentive was added to complete the project by Sept. 7, three weeks earlier than specified in the contract.

• Awarded contract for 2019 mill and overlay project to T.A. Schifsky & Sons. The estimate was $818,000, or 13% lower than estimated. Of the seven bids, the lowest was $700,000. “Again, it is a good bidding climate for us,” said City Engineer Paul Kauppi.

• Ordered the project and authorized advertisement for bids for 2019 sanitary sewer lining program. The city has 120 miles of sewer and has so far lined 13 miles since 1994. The city engineer noted a large reduction in sewer backups as a result of the improvements.

Child care legislation the Legislature missed

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

Comprehensive changes to the state's child care licensing regulations were put forth by the Minnesota Child Care Association (MCCA) this session, but no legislators picked it up.

MCCA drafted a bill that would implement a statewide tiered licensing citation system that would give parents more information on how severe a licensing citation is — or isn't.

“It did not get picked up by anyone, which is not that surprising,” said Clare Sanford, MCCA board member and New Horizon Academy director of government and community relations. “There have been a ton of licensing bills at the Legislature this year.”

Sanford said there have been at least 30 bills proposed this year, but most of them have to do with specific rule changes, such as allowing children to use water bottles instead of disposable cups, that wouldn't make an overarching difference in the way child care centers are regulated by the state.

Creating a tiered citation system would separate serious issues from not-so-serious issues, such as an infant being put to sleep on their stomach, versus a citation for a single bathroom stall that ran out of toilet paper, Sanford explained. All licensing citations are available to the public on the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) website, so listing citations separately would give parents a better sense of the whole picture when they see a number of citations.

“When you talk about supervision, interactions, those kinds of things, for me as a parent that would be concerning,” said Rena Larson, MCCA board member and northeast metro district leader with KinderCare. But when parents look at citations online, they aren't always able to discern what they should be looking for as concerns. Parents might just look at the number of citations without learning what a center is really like, she noted.

Record-keeping citations can put a center in a worse light than reality.

“If you have a center that is excellent and one staff file has gone amiss, they could have a number of citations as the same center that had every file out of whack,” Larson said. “We want them to know and be informed.” She said the best way to know what is going on in a center is

by taking a tour and spending time in the classrooms.

Citation documents are just one piece of information available when looking for child care, not the sum of it all, she noted.

DHS has been researching tiered licensing violation systems, although it was not involved with MCCA's proposal, the department stated.

“The Licensing Division has been exploring a tiered violation system, also called a weighted regulatory system,” DHS stated in an email. “Weighted licensing regulations assign different rules a weighted 'value' associated with a level of potential risk. These weights are used to determine the level of risk present in a licensed child care setting and help establish a common understanding of risk. A tiered system would make it easier for parents to understand the licensing system. While every child care licensing regulation is designed to provide some level of protection to children, not all regulations, if violated, present the same level of risk to children.”

The bill put forth by MCCA also would have created a task force for quarterly meetings between DHS and child care providers to discuss rules.

“Providers have valuable insights that can assist DHS in furthering the development of safe, quality and affordable child care,” DHS stated.

“We do not always see eye to eye but are always willing to talk and hear each other out,” Sanford said.

Child care providers were surprised when only 13 of more than 300 regulations were chosen by DHS in response to fix-it ticket legislation passed by the Legislature about two years ago, Sanford said. The items are ones that, if fixed within 48 hours, a center won't be cited for, such as a bathroom stall that lacks toilet paper. But the fix-it ticket system didn't provide what child care providers hoped.

An example: If one toilet isn't flushed, centers would be given a fix-it ticket. If one toilet in the preschool room and one in the toddler room aren't flushed, then it's a full licensing violation. “That's the kind of stuff that makes providers pull their hair out,” Sanford said.

A bill was put forward this year in the Legislature to expand what's on the fix-it ticket. Still, MCCA would rather work with DHS on a tiered licensing system.

“They have a job to do, too, in protecting health and safety,” Sanford noted.

“Rule 3 has not been revised in 30 years and a com-

prehensive examination of the current rules and laws governing child care centers is needed to ensure child care in Minnesota reflects the realities of our modern world,” DHS stated. “Law changes have been used over the decades to change, add and update licensing requirements.”

One licensing regulation MCCA doesn't ever want to see changed is the required ratios of children to teachers/aides. Although some legislators have pushed for this in the name of reducing the costs of child care, providers don't agree.

“We need low ratios to provide not only safety but quality and brain development for children,” Sanford said. “Changing some regulations will not make child care cheaper for parents, which is what everybody wants to do.”

Unfortunately, making child care less expensive is nearly impossible without reducing quality. “The big issue with the child care crisis in Minnesota is (that) parents cannot afford to pay more and providers cannot afford to pay less,” Sanford noted. Entry-level workers in child care make at or near minimum wage. Lead teachers with a degree make up to $15-16/hour.

Right now, KinderCare is working on actually lowering its toddler ratio from 1 to 7 to 1 to 4 so children can have more individual attention, Larson said. Ironically, the business has to ask the state for variances to do so.

Financial Management

Explaining financial plans and why you need one A clear understanding of personal expenditures and savings rates is essential for securing a strong financial future. A financial plan can help everyone from the extraordinarily wealthy to those struggling to make ends meet.

The Financial Planning Association says a financial plan identifies goals and objectives that take finances to achieve and creates a plan for making those things happen. A financial plan can serve as a road map that people can look to for years to come as they work toward securing their financial futures.

Whether you aim to retire by age 50 or to reduce your debt, a financial plan can be just what you need to turn your dreams into a reality. Here are some steps for devising a financial plan.

1. Identify what you want. You must identify what you want to achieve. Goals may include buying a home, retiring early, providing for a child’s education, or having more time and money for travel. Putting your goals on paper may inspire you to pursue them more vigorously.

2. Audit your finances. Conduct an audit of your finances so you can get a clear grasp of your current situation. Make a list of all of your assets, and then subtract existing debts to figure out your net worth. While you’re tabulating, find out how much you bring in and spend each month so you can get a clear picture of your spending habits. This will help you make smart choices in regard to spending and saving.

3. Eradicate existing debt. One of the key parts of a financial plan is to pay down high-interest debt to free up money for the future. Focus on paying off credit card balances, high-interest loans or balances for other accounts where interest is high. A debt consolidation loan may be worth exploring if you’re having trouble paying down high-interest debt.

4. Start saving. Building savings is essential to reaching many goals. It also is key to help avoid financial ruin during emergency situations, such as home or car repairs, disability that takes you out of work, etc. Start small by having a certain percentage of money deposited into a separate account automatically. Then watch it grow.

Investing in the right products also can help you grow your savings.

A 2019 E3 grant in the amount of $4,000 was awarded to Otter Lake Elementary educators Kristi Olness, Elizabeth Olson, Sara Starke and J.J. Parker.

The grant will help fund Phase II of Otter Lake Elementary’s Prairie School outdoor classroom, which will include a pavilion. In 2018, the WBLAEF also contributed funds through an E3 Grant request to assist with Phase I, which was completed in November of 2018. The current grant will be used to purchase durable steel columns, beams, purlins and a roof structure. It is hoped the project will be completed this fall.

Mahtomedi teacher and MAPS adviser Jim Lane said, “The level of motivation and drive that each of these young women has demonstrated is absolutely inspiring. The opportunity to be in the MAPS program is truly a life-changing event for their future careers.”

‘This story is a winner’

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

When despair and hopelessness pushed Eric Anderson to the brink of suicide, a random click on an internet tune changed his life. The song was “Angel On My Shoulder” by Kaskade.

The music started Anderson on a new path to recovery after a diving accident on White Bear Lake left him paralyzed.

He immersed himself in music, which soothed his troubled mind and helped him find peace.

Five years in the writing, “Don’t Stop Dancing: My Story of Tragedy, Loss, Addiction and Darkness, and the Discovery That Healed My Soul,” describes Anderson’s journey back into the light after his accident Aug. 27, 1996. He was at a friend’s house near Bellaire Beach.

They were drinking; it was late at night.

He made the stupid decision to dive into water only a couple inches deep.

He broke his neck. That simple lapse in judgment turned Anderson’s world upside down. He was 21.

The book is named after another Kaskade song called “Don’t Stop Dancing.”

Its lyrics talk about beauty held within and to just keep going every day because the silver lining is on its way.

“The title is a representation of my life,” Anderson said. “Never give up.

And it’s a song by the artist that saved my life.”

An excerpt from material promoting the book recalled how Anderson turned to drugs, alcohol and excessive partying as he tried to grasp the physical and emotional trials he faced as a quadriplegic. He was deeply depressed and unprepared mentally. “Over the next decade,

IF YOU GO: A book b k launch l h party t ffor E Eric i A Anderson d iis planned from 4-7 p.m. Saturday, April 20, at the Manitou Grill, 2171 Fourth St., White Bear Lake. Book copies will be available for purchase.

Eric’s life spirals out of control as he attempts to assimilate back into a world perpetually haunted by memories of a perfect life he can’t let go of,” it reads.

When Anderson decides suicide is his only option, music becomes his salvation. His comeback and resulting biography are meant to serve as inspiration for others to live every moment to its fullest and show readers why nothing should be taken for granted.

“I really think I wrote something special,” Anderson said in a telephone interview. “I wasn’t looking for fame or fortune. I wanted to contribute something positive.”

The book is dark in the beginning, he admits, reflecting a hard time after the accident and his battles with depression, drugs and alcohol. “Then things changed for me. I found happiness and learned important things in life. I felt I had a story to tell; to show people not to make the same mistakes. The response has been amazing.”

Writing comes easy to him, Anderson said. It’s something he can do in his downtown St. Paul apartment. A 1993 White Bear Lake High School grad, he moved from his hometown about 10 years ago, saying it was too difficult to live in a house with a wheelchair.

One of Anderson’s buddies, Zach Love, also a ‘93 grad, found the book inspiring. “It reminds me how lucky we are in

Eight years ago, Eric Anderson got on stage at The Myth with Above & Beyond, a popular United Kingdom group that he said helped turn his life around.

life,” he said. “Eric is the type of person I look to for leadership and advice. He’s a fun guy and people rally around him.”

The book is opening doors, or at least getting him VIP treatment with a favorite band, noted the author, adding he’s “living in a dream right now.”

By happenstance, Kaskade is playing in Las Vegas next month at a music festival called the Electric Daisy Carnival.

Anderson plans to be there and if the stars align, he hopes to have the opportunity to present Kaskade with a copy of his book.

Asked about his disability hindering his ambitions, Anderson scoffed. “That is the point of the story. It took me awhile to realize that and get to that point. If you still have your mind, you can still do great things. This story is a winner.”

“Don’t Stop Dancing” is available on Amazon. Hardcover is $25.99.

Eric Anderson gave members of his favorite artists, Above & Beyond, a copy of his book at the Minneapolis Armory March 30. Band members happened to be playing a concert in the Twin Cities a week before his book was set to launch. With Anderson are Paavo Siljamaki, left, and Tony McGuinness.
