by Debra Neutkens Regional Editor WHITE BEAR LAKE — If non-motorized trails are on an agenda, chances are Mike Brooks is present to step to the podium. His mission: Make the city more bicycle friendly. "It's vital to our future," said the Fourth Street resident, who co-founded a local citizen's group called NE Communities Bike Walk. Brooks was on hand June 9 when the City Council voted on its nonmotorized transportation plan map. He told the council his hope is for "greater connectivity" in the city. "We need to make a concerted effort to get this right," Brooks said. "It's a huge economic and social advantage to the city as we move forward. Let's have broader discussion about what being a bike friendly community means for us." Ramsey County is in

Marketfest The opening night of Marketfest is 6-9 p.m. Thursday, June 18. Over 40 food vendors and over 100 merchant and community group booths will line the streets of downtown. Ride — a blues/r&b band — performs on the gazebo stage and the Drama Queen band will perform pop and rock covers on the Third Street stage.

Township cleanup White Bear Township’s spring cleanup day is 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 20 at Otter Lake Elementary School. Town residents can dispose of electronics, appliances, furniture and other unwanted items (see ci.white-bear-township. mn.us for a list or call 763784-2104). Proof of residency is required.

the process of creating a county-wide map of biking and walking trails and asked the city for an updated version of its municipal plan for incorporation into the map. Public input was gathered at a Feb. 18 community-wide open house, which happened to fulfill a Comprehensive Plan goal to list routes people would like to see built. Part of the city's 2030 Comprehensive Plan, Brooks said, is to provide alternatives to automobile traffic and encourage non-motorized transportation for people of all ages. Many thoughtful comments were received, noted Associate Planner Samantha Crosby, and staff was pleased with the overall results. Much of the input focused on larger projects, such as South Shore Boulevard, Otter Lake Road and the Bruce Vento Regional Trail. There were also comments on areas outside the city's jurisdiction.

The draft changes to the trail map are shown in the graphic on page 7A. City Council approved the map, which staff will now forward to Ramsey County. Recommended changes on the draft map include: • Adding a proposed sidewalk on Myrle Avenue from Hidden Hollow Park to County Road F. • Adding a proposed sidewalk along Elm street between White Bear Avenue and Willow Avenue to serve a route to school. • Adding a proposed onroad bike lane to Division Avenue for better access to schools. • Adding proposed mixed-use trail on Otter Lake Road between Fourth Street and Otter Lake Elementary. In staff's opinion, this is a mapping oversight, as there is a mixed use trail on Otter Lake road both north and south of that segment.

Bacon lover Jon Jakoblich rates each brand of bacon he samples against four criteria: flavor, fat-to-meat ratio, saltiness and shrinkage. His bacon-reviewing blog has evolved into a multifaceted website where fellow pork enthusiasts can find bacon news and tips and purchase mail orders from four small meat producers. “I'm educating the public about good-quality meats and connecting them with vendors,” said the White Bear Lake resident. A custom of stopping at meat markets during his travels inspired Jakoblich to launch baconscouts.com in May 2013. He blogged about the markets he visited and gave each a rating after he tried a few of its varieties. To date he's rated 21 bacon producers across the Midwest on a five-point system in four categories. Bernie's Fine Meats in Port Washington, Wisconsin so far holds Jakoblich's highest ranking. His blog also contains posts on a variety of bacon topics. The latest entry explains the science of shrinkage. “Bacon that shrinks significantly during cooking is either very fatty or it was cured with high water content,” he wrote. “High heat during cooking also plays a factor ...” Another entry recommends baking bacon in the oven instead of frying it in a pan. In the oven is quicker, less messy and tastes better, Jakoblich contends. Baking was recommended to him by Shawn Smith, the owner of Eat! @ Banning and Fifth (a downtown White Bear Lake restaurant). After trying out a few variations to baking methods, he posted step-by-step instructions on his blog, including a recommendation not to preheat the oven. “After making my way through many pounds of the delicious meat candy, I've developed a foolproof method to cook bacon to perfection each and every time,” he wrote. Baconscouts.com also contains a listing of bacon festivals across the country. Jakoblich has attended a few himself.

Tired of Lyme by Debra Neutkens Regional Editor

Jon Jakoblich displays a plate of bacon he has just prepared at his home in White Bear Lake. The website also has companion Facebook and Twitter pages that alert followers about new content and offers on the site. Last year Jakoblich began working to make baconscouts.com also an online marketplace. Establishing a Web store that automatically sends purchase orders to his partners was a longer process than he anticipated, he said. It went live this winter with its first partner: RJ's Meats in Hudson, Wisconsin. Products from Nolecheck's Meats in Thorp, Wisconsin and Woods Smoked Meats in Bowling Green, Missouri were added this spring. A store for new partner, Grand Champion Meats of Foley, was expected to go live this week. “I've created an online meat mall,” Jakoblich said. This online mall isn't cheap. The price tag for bacon is $18 per one-pound or $13.50 per 12-ounce package. That includes shipping if buyers live in the Midwest and order at least two frozen packages from the same company.

People with Lyme disease don't look sick. But for some chronic sufferers of the tick-borne disease, getting out of bed is a challenge. White Bear Lake restaurateur Kate McKeague is sadly familiar with the debilitating illness. She was diagnosed with Lyme disease three years ago. On the bright side, The Station Pub manager has learned to navigate its symptoms through a strict dietary regimen and long-term an-

tibiotic treatments. Before the diagnosis, McKeague said, she could barely function. "I started getting sick in summer of 2012," McKeague recalled. "I had horrible fatigue, muscle pain and weakness, and trouble with my hand motor skills. I had brain fog, which is typical of Lyme disease. I saw different doctors but no one could figure out what was wrong. My blood work looked normal, a test for Lyme came back negative.

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

Business Briefs Status of Boatworks restaurant Planning Commission member Peter Reis asked the city planner the status of the restaurant at Boatworks Commons at last month's meeting. Planner Anne Kane said the developer has indicated he's narrowed it down to a few restaurateurs. They have not passed final inspection on the shell, which will be the trigger point of starting the six-month process to secure a tenant, she noted. Kane added the city may want to shorten that time frame and get involved sooner rather than later to find the most optimal restaurant for the location. A call to Lander Group Chief Operating Officer Tony Kriha provided this update: "We're working with a number of prospects but we haven't leased with any specific company at this point. With Lake Avenue now complete, we're looking forward to the visibility and attention that Boatworks Commons will bring." Kriha said the restaurant's exterior is finished with the exception of an outdoor patio; as far as the interior, the developer will work with the tenant to finish a design that meets their criteria. "We're confident we'll get a user soon," Kriha said. He couldn't name names, but noted he looks forward

to the day something can be announced. "Hopefully it's within a few months," he added. As for the apartment leasing, Kane told the Planning Commission the building is about 50 percent occupied. April and May were a bit slower with the road reconstruction, which hindered move-ins and lease-up traffic. She said the developer is optimistic and pleased with the project.

Customer appreciation Two downtown area businesses are planning a customer appreciation day 2:30 to 5 p.m. Sunday, June 28. Ozzie's Great American Ice Cream Parlor and Pizza Man will have food, games, prizes and discount deals at the event, 4687 Bald Eagle Ave. in White Bear Lake. They are also featuring a story time and singalong with violin for ages 2 to 7.

Island remains unsold Still no closing on the Bald Eagle Island property. Edina Realtor Kathy Madore indicated closing was scheduled for the first week of June between buyer Megabien Entertainment, owned by Hans Stachowiak, and seller Nick and Jane VanBrunt. An earlier closing date of May 12 was postponed. The Town Board was voting June 15 (after press time) on whether to extend Megabien's conditional use permit and variance approvals, which expire after six months. Stachowiak indicated he would provide an update after the vote.

Mahtomedi School Board Notes Additional action taken by the District 832 School Board at its June 11 meeting included: • Accepted 14 additional open enrollment students: one entering ninth grade, 11 entering 10th grade and two entering 11th grade. Three new applications at the elementary school were denied and seven new applications for incoming ninth-graders were placed on a wait list. District administrators will reassess enrollment numbers and potentially admit more open enrollees in July. • Approved three new policies. One new policy notes that the legally required official name of the district is “Independent School District No. 832” but “Mahtomedi Public Schools” may be used for non-legal purposes. The Minnesota School Boards

Association recommended the district adopt a policy regarding handling of complaints. The policy directs staff who receive a complaint of any kind to report it to their supervisor, authorizes the supervisor to either handle the complaint or refer it to the superintendent, and directs that the supervisor or superintendent respond to the complainant to advise the district's response. • The third policy is state-mandated and sets requirements and procedures for staff to report and suspected neglect, abuse or financial exploitation of a vulnerable adult to a county authority. • Repealed several policies regarding staff that are no longer applicable. • Approved the 2015-16 evaluation and ancillary compensation program for teachers, with no

significant changes. • Band teacher Mike Moeller provided an update on plans to establish a music studio in the Black Box Theater. The studio will have keyboards and computers with music software. Classes in piano, guitar and studio music will utilize the space. The equipment will be movable so that the theater can still be used for other functions as well, Moeller said. • Accepted two donations. A $100,000 gift from the Cossack Foundation is for the new music recording computers in the Black Box Theater, improvements to the high school small gym, and to prevent two staff reductions. The Wildwood Lions Club gave $4,000 to the senior program.

taining credit cards, driver's license and student identification were reported stolen June 3 from a vehicle parked in the 500 block of Wedgewood Drive. • A Mahtomedi man, 37, was arrested for third-degree DUI at 2:37 a.m. June 4 in Wildwood Park. • A White Bear Lake man, 20, was reported violating a trespassing order from the Freedom Valu Center on Wildwood Road June 4. • An heirloom diamond ring reportedly went missing from a bedroom dresser after a woman in the 800 block of Stillwater Road had

Cultural center searching for location When Sen. Roger Chamberlain was contacted by the Tibetan American Foundation of Minnesota about a new location for its community cultural center, he contacted Tom Snell, executive director of the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce. Snell has been to the St. Paul cultural center before and described it as an incredible opportunity for White Bear Lake. "It's a very dynamic organization with an incredible mentoring program. They bring cultural opportunities to whatever community they are moving to," said Snell, who added Minnesota has one of the largest Tibetan populations in the country. The center on Raymond Avenue is aging, crowded and has limited parking. "They might be looking at White Bear Lake for a new home," Snell said. "There are no guarantees but it's always worth a look when an entity is considering a move. This is of course, an embryonic stage of the process." Snell and a half dozen or so chamber members planned to visit the center June 13. — Debra Neutkens

Community Briefs Public health simulation A simulated response to a public health emergency will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Friday, June 26 at White Bear Lake High School–South Campus. It will test operations for dispensing medications quickly to large numbers of people at a community site. Volunteers age 16 and older are wanted to role-play receiving pills from public health staff after going through a mock registration and screening process. Volunteers should register by June 17 at www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4CACA922A4FF2-operation. Law enforcement will be in the area during the exercise to practice traffic control procedures. The simulation is being coordinated by Ramsey County Public Health and additional participants will include White Bear Lake police and fire departments, Ramsey County Emergency Management and Homeland Security, Ramsey County Public Works, the Salvation Army and the American Red Cross.

Washington County Sheriff Reports The Washington County Sheriff's Office reported the following incidents in Mahtomedi: • A resident in the 500 block of Greenwood Street on June 2 reported receiving an e-mail from his credit card company saying that someone in Louisiana was trying to change contact information.

Opinion Take it from the pros IT’S GRADUATION ABOUT THE TIME and rather than TOWN share my advice to graduates as I have in past years, I thought I would ask superintendents of schools and presidents of colleges and universities to give their advice. Here’s what they had to say. DR. LINDA HANSON, GENE JOHNSON president of Hamline University, told the graduates: “Today, you are on a pathway — and it’s what we’ve come to call “pathways to distinction” in our strategic vision for Hamline University. And while that vision is large and enduring, it is also very personal when coupled with the sentiment of what happens when one way opens and another way closes… Today, you will have doors that open for you and doors that you choose to open. Use every experience, every skill, and every connection you have built through your years at Hamline to find your pathway to distinction. Many say that people don’t remember what anyone says at commencement ceremonies years after they graduate. That may be true and is perfectly understandable. But I challenge you to put into your memory bank this evening the image of a door ahead of you that you choose to open and as you leave behind your years as a student, you see how the world opens up to you in ways you may never have imagined.” RON ANDERSON, president of Century College, encouraged graduates with these words: “I have great faith that your time with us has prepared you well for the next phase of your life—whether that be to continue your education, enter the workforce, or move forward in your current career with new skills and knowledge. Regardless of where your next steps lead, I hope that you carry with you the commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion that is so core to the Century College community. Like Century, your work and home communities will become increasingly diverse, composed of individuals with widely varied backgrounds, experiences and gifts. Each of you has the power, and indeed the responsibility, to create an environment within those communities that is welcoming and accepting of differences, and in which every person’s contribution and perspective is heard and valued. While we do not all share the same beliefs, experiences and perspectives, we must honor, respect and seek to understand them and one another. I challenge you not to seek homogeneity, but rather to seek diversity; to foster deeper understanding, to build new bonds, and to continually strengthen your ability to work across cultures and faiths. With your strength, determination, commitment and passion, all things are possible. You have developed the tools, and it is now up to you to put them to use.” DR. MICHAEL LOVETT, superintendent of White Bear Lake Schools, had this advice: “Since most everyone gives you advice these days, please understand that it is difficult to come up with something original. So if this advice sounds familiar, credit your mother, who has been giving you the same advice since you were in kindergarten. First, remember where you are from. When you were in kindergarten, you memorized your address and your telephone number. That advice is still good. But also remember all the places you are from: your family, your school, your church and your community. Second, remember where you are going. When you were in kindergarten it was so easy to get distracted, even if you were on your way to visit a friend’s house next door or in school headed to the nurse’s office. This advice is still good. So on your way to becoming a caring, responsible adult, don’t get distracted by the attractive detours along the way. You can stop and look but remember your destination. And third, remember to thank those who help you along the way. Remember when you thanked the bus driver, secretary, lunch lady and custodian and made beautiful notes for your teacher and anyone who smiled at you? This advice is still good, too. You may use a pen or your computer instead of your crayons, but give each note the same care as you did your kindergarten masterpiece. And before you realize where the time has gone, someone younger will look up to you and ask for your wise advice.” Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Vacation is an attitude, not a destination Summer is here – the warm weather we longed for in February has finally arrived and the kids are out of school. Expectations are running high – it’s time for the perfect summer vacation, right? Wrong. While we want a vacation to be a perfect escape from our daily lives - we still bring our own baggage with us wherever we go. And that baggage can thwart even the bestplanned getaway. For example, if your spouse’s driving makes you crazy cruising through your neighborhood, a 10 hour drive to your dream destination isn’t going to make things better. And kids who fight with each other during a quick trip to the grocery store are likely to get into some epic battles on a plane, at the train station or by the side of the road as you fix a flat tire. Life happens, even on vacation, and oversized expectations that “this time it will be different, this time it will be perfect” only add to disappointment in the long run. Rachel Cain, director of

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

JERRY HROMATKA outpatient mental health at Northeast Youth & Family Services, suggests that successful vacations are more of an attitude than a destination. Our mental state has more impact on our enjoyment of any activity – whether it is zooming down a waterslide on a sunny afternoon at Wisconsin Dells or cleaning the house on a Saturday morning. Just like in real life, there will always be parts of the vacation experience that are out of our control, Cain says. Luggage gets damaged, reservations are lost — accepting and addressing problems while looking for and embracing what works is key to enjoying a getaway, and life in general.

Cain suggests that before departing for a vacation we should make a concerted effort to ditch our mental baggage ﬁrst. Let go of expectations, perfectionism, and the need to experience as much as possible in a short amount of time. Vacations should be a getaway, not a forced march. Cain adds that vacations are a great time to try something new mentally as well as physically. The (temporary) suspension of normal life makes us open to new ways of seeing the world, our families and ourselves. If you tend to overplan everything, schedule a day by the pool and see what it feels like to do nothing and like it. If you are afraid of heights, maybe a hike to the top of a hill to view breathtaking scenery will help you learn how to take healthy risks. Whatever you and your loved ones decide to do, Cain has a few tips to help ensure that your vacation is a good one: Expect some level of stress and chaos, especially if traveling with kids. Plan for it. Bring along an emo-

tional first aid kit of fun activities and yummy snacks. Don’t overplan. Unstructured time is a precious commodity for couples and families. If nothing else plan for one day where you will decide what to do once you arrive at your destination. Don’t overpay. Stress over money will suck all the fun out of your vacation, and make you feel like you need another one when the bills arrive. Be clear on what you’re looking for mentally and physically – relaxation, adventure or a mix of both. Whatever you are doing, remember to be present in the moment, emotionally, mentally and physically. Unplug from your normal life. That’s how lasting memories are made and family bonds are created and strengthened – even if it is fixing a flat tire by the side of the road instead of racing down the waterslide. Wishing you a safe and memorable summer! Jerry Hromatka is president and CEO, Northeast Youth & Family Services

A little history on the power of positive thinking How many of the people reading this article can remember the stock market crash of 1929? My mother was born in Grant Township in 1912 and my father was born in North St. Paul in 1913. They met at a streetcar stop in North St. Paul in the fall of 1928. Dad was having a ‘smoke break’ and mother got off the streetcar to walk into the high school building. Dad was taking a correspondence course in electricity as well as working to help his mother provide for herself and his two brothers. They all lived through ‘the crash’ and were old enough to remember it. My mom and dad dated for a few years and got married in 1933. They moved to Mahtomedi, borrowed $1,000 from my grandmother and opened Lakeview Grocery alongside the streetcar tracks on Hickory Street. They lived in the back of the building and sold groceries in the front – dad’s dream of becoming an electrician was put on hold. I was born the following February. My maternal grandmother had died very early in my mother’s life, so she was raised by her father. My dad would drive our to grandpa’s house once a week so mother could see him and he could see his grandson (me). One night while we were visiting grandpa, someone backed a truck up to the store, loaded 80 percent of the groceries at the store into it and disappeared. It left my parents with no job, very little food, and a big debt. How did they get through that part of their

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

JUD MARSHALL life and move on? That brings us to the power of positive thinking, which for me started in 1940. My mother’s uncle had built a few houses and in the summer of 1940 he and I were standing in our backyard and looking at the house next door that he was building and he said to me, “If you don’t smoke or drink until you are 21, I will give you two empty lots.” As the years went by the dream of building my own house grew more and more important to me. When I was 14 my parents bought a new kitchen stove and I bought their old one for my future kitchen. When I was 16 I went to work for a home builder for the experience that I would need in later years. Then, when I was in senior high, I built a door as my year-long project. My friends asked, “Why are you building a door?” My answer was, “This will be the front door to my house.” In July of 1953 I hired a contractor to dig a hole for the basement, and my future wife and I started to build our house. By the end of November we put on the front door, and by March of 1954 we moved into the base-

ment. For the next seven years, we would save a little money and then build a little more, and then repeat the process. By the last week of 1960 we moved upstairs. We were almost 27, with four boys and another about to be born. My next dream was to have my own business, which took a little longer, and happened in 1971. During those years, dad still dreamed about being an electrician. At the age of 45, he became an apprentice to the electrician in Mahtomedi. They had worked together for ﬁve years when the owner died of lung cancer. Dad was able to continue the business, fulﬁlling his dream. Over a period of several years he was able to hire more employees and he remained active until her was 70, at which time one of my brothers bought the business. While dad was busy being an electrician, my business grew and I was able to work in it until I was 75. At age 69 I became mayor of Mahtomedi, and that has been the second-best job I was ever able to have. There are many more examples of positive thinking in the lives of my family members, and they all boil down to making your dream a main priority. Plan as though your dream will come true. It may take a little while, but it will become reality. How else could my father, my two brothers and I all have our own businesses? Jud Marshall is mayor of Mahtomedi.

Ramsey County Sheriff Reports The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Ofﬁ ce reported the following incidents: WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • Deputies were called on June 3, 5 and 7 to mediate complaints by an elderly woman on Lakewood Avenue about conﬂ icts with her grown son. The son and the woman's daughter claimed that their mother had been acting erratically lately. • A man on Lakewood Avenue requested assistance with his intoxicated wife June 7. The woman, 59, had been arrested for domestic assault against her husband on May 22 and as a condition of bail was not supposed to have contact with her husband. She was arrested for contempt of court. • An Otter Lake Road resident reported June 9 that nearly $400 was withdrawn from the resident's bank account to make a payment to a cell phone carrier. The cell phone account was registered to a New Jersey address. The case was under investigation. • A residence in the 5000 block of Otter Lake Road was burglarized the morning of June 9. The window adjacent to the front door was broken out to gain entry. A stereo, Xbox and DVDs reportedly were missing. • A teenager on Fourth Street reported June 9 that several juve-

er — a man, 52, whose residence was unknown — said the drugs were his. The passenger, who was the man's son, claimed to have no knowledge of the drugs. The driver was arrested for felony drug possession as well as driving after license revocation. • An 11-year-old boy reportedly shot a girl in the arm with a pellet gun June 4 at Vadnais Highland townhouses on County Road D. The boy claimed he didn't intend to hit the girl. The boy's mother said she would return the newly purchased gun. • A go-kart was reported stolen from outside a residence in the 3500 block of Centerville Road on June 5. • A unit at the Public Storage on Birch Lake Boulevard reportedly was broken into sometime between June 1 and 8. Antique glassware, Chinese puppets and a chainsaw, total value of more than $3,000, reportedly were stolen. Two cigarette butts were found in the unit and were sent to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension to test for DNA. • A driver struck a bicyclist June 8 at Highway 61 and County Road E. The driver had the green light and didn't see the boy on the bike. The boy, 12, appeared to have only minor injuries but he was taken to a hospital as a precaution.

niles assaulted her and/or stole items during a party. The girl, 15, was home alone and invited a male she met on Facebook and a few of his friends to her home, she said. Then more people whom she didn't know came. They reportedly stole an iPhone, PlayStation, Xbox, designer purse, television, iPad and three laptops. The report is under investigation. VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A report that an elderly woman was scammed out of $5,500 was received June 3. The woman received a mailing proclaiming she had won $2.5 million. Included was a $6,900 check with instructions that she needed to cash it and mail $5,500 to a Texas address before she could receive her prize. The mailing also instructed her not to tell anyone that she had won. She sent the money and the check that she had received subsequently bounced. The report is under investigation by the Ramsey County Sheriff's Offi ce and the Harris County Sheriff's Office in Texas. • Drugs were found in a vehicle after the driver was stopped on Berwood Avenue for failing to signal June 3. Marijuana, a baggie with a white powder and another baggie and a pipe with white residue were found. Lab tests confi rmed that the white substance was methamphetamine. The driv-

mental disabilities.

Rep. Matt Dean received an outstanding leadership award from the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans. Dean helped the governor-appointed commission win passage of additional funding for support services for people who have hearing or sight impairments or both.

Letter to the Editor Enlightening column R.J. Eliason WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The June 10 column in the White Bear Press entitled “Going green on your wedding day” by Missie Swanson was enlightening. If the 2.5 million couples getting married each year would follow her advice, this is all it would take to save our planet. Ms. Swanson suggested that the marriage ceremony and the reception be held at the same site to “cut down on guest travel and create fewer emissions in the air.” My daughter will be married next year at a venue in downtown St. Paul. We were contemplating asking guests to ride light rail to the event. But I then learned that President Barack Obama’s one-day trip to see Florida’s Everglades for Earth Day racked up as much carbon dioxide as 17 passenger vehicles do in one year of driving. Ms. Swanson suggests seeking a “green jeweler” who makes rings from recycled gold and silver. She is onto something here, as it is such a waste when so many people throw precious metals into the trash. Ms. Swanson suggested

using recycled paper for invitations. I have learned that 63.5 percent of paper used in the U.S. is recycled every year and most of it consists of old newspapers that are unsuitable for highquality wedding invitations. But sacriﬁces need to be made to save our Mother Earth. I doubt Ms. Swanson has ever had to deal with a wedding caterer because I can ﬁ nd no options for “farm to table” products. Finally, I agree with Ms. Swanson that we should not use disposable dinnerware at my daughter’s wedding. In fact, I will suggest that our caterer not only use china plates and glassware as Ms. Swanson suggested, I will insist that they recycle these dishes instead of washing them. Washing dishes is harmful because it uses valuable groundwater, heating the water to wash dishes emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and the detergents put harmful phosphorus into our wastewater. I thank the White Bear Press for publishing such an important and enlightening column. We need more people to point out the error of our ways.

Trails Continued from page 1A • Changing the existing mixed use trail along Highway 96 north to an existing on-road bike lane and adding a proposed mixed-use trail along this stretch. • Adding a proposed mixed use trail on the east side of White Bear Avenue from South Shore Boulevard to I-694, if it will fit and if condoned by the county. • Add a proposed sidewalk to Bellaire Avenue between County Road F and South Shore Boulevard. This is outside the city's jurisdiction, but shows the city's support on a county roadway for continuance of the existing sidewalk south of County Road F. The Bruce Vento regional trail through the city is also a top priority. Ramsey County Parks hired a consultant to prepare preliminary trail plans to evaluate the alignment, site impacts and construction costs for the segment between Buerkle Road and County Highway 96. According to the city, the county plans to engage the public yet this year before finalizing preliminary plans. Once fi nalized, the county will seek federal funding for its completion.

County Parks and Recreation Director Jon Oyanagi told the Press the study is "on hold for awhile" until more information is obtained regarding the proposed route. One issue is the potential abandonment of the Minnesota Commercial rail line in that area. The other is a study being done for the Rush Line for release this fall. "We decided to put our research on hold until those issues are farther along," Oyanagi said. "Once we know more, we will resume our study and hold opportunities for public comment regarding the trail." Brooks said the public presentation was put on hold when an article in The Citizen newspaper reported Minnesota Commercial might abandon the rail line due to the cost of making needed repairs. Funding from the Legislature this session will keep the track open 12 more months. The around-the-lake trail continues to be constructed, added Crosby. A segment between Whitaker and Veterans Park was constructed two years ago; a segment between Lake Avenue South and Veterans

Park was constructed last year and hopefully in 2016, the city "plans to tackle" the leg from Lions Park to South Shore Boulevard. Although he is not entirely enamored with the draft plan, Brooks says it's a start. "We need to be more clear about how we use language when describing the planned infrastructure," he told council. Ramsey County uses deﬁ nitions to inventory their facilities that would make sense to follow. For example, they will accept trails that are 8 feet wide for two-way travel, but 10 feet is preferred. After council endorsed the map, an old ordinance came into question. Councilman Bryan Belisle pointed out that city ordinance prohibits riding bicycles on city sidewalks. City Planner Anne Kane said that code provision has been in place since the early '60s and should probably be re-examined. Councilman Doug Biehn agreed, saying he doesn't' like ordinances "on the books" that aren't enforced. "I'd like to see the sidewalk issue addressed," he said.

– Submitted Map

This map shows the city’s new proposed trails. The changes will be incorporated into a Ramsey County trail map.

Continued from page 1A That’s typical for people with Lyme, they’re told nothing is wrong with them because we don’t look sick. But I couldn’t get out of bed.” Her dad recommended she see a physician in Vadnais Heights, someone she credits with “saving her life.” He suggested she be retested for Lyme. This time it was positive. McKeague went through several doctors before she found one who in her words was “Lyme literate.” Sometimes, it’s not an easy person to find. Why? Doctors aren’t listening, says a Forest Lakearea Lyme expert. Family practitioner Betty Maloney has probably published more peerreviewed papers on Lyme disease than anyone in Minnesota, including the newest treatment guidelines for the disease. “Yet when I tried to speak at the Minnesota Family Physicians conference on the topic, of which I belong to that academy, they didn’t fi nd the need to hear from me at all,” she said. Maloney fi nds the apathy increasingly frustrating. “I feel like I’ve jumped through every hoop that mainstream medicine has asked in order to communicate with my colleagues,” she stated. “They say, ‘Show me the evidence about chronic Lyme disease.’ When I do, they don’t want to look at it. They won’t come to the table and talk about it.” Maloney believes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is worried about a shortage of antibiotics and bacterial resistance. “Lyme bacteria does not develop resistance, but other bacteria do,” she said. “So they basically are throwing the chronic Lyme patients under the bus.” At the local level, she feels physicians have received much propaganda about what Lyme is and isn’t while being pushed to be good stewards of antibiotics. “They don’t have time to look at the evidence like I have,” Maloney said, “so they buy in without thinking. This rationale has to be examined. In the face of all these patients saying they are still sick, and they are not people who want to be sick, it behooves physicians to say, ‘Hey, something is not right here.’” There was a time when physicians were reluctant to prescribe long-term an-

tibiotic therapy for chronic Lyme disease patients because they feared reprisal from the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice. In March 2010, Maloney was instrumental in convincing the board to put a moratorium on the practice, which meant physicians would not be investigated nor disciplined simply because they prescribed long-term antibiotics. That moratorium was extended last November another fi ve years. The resolution passed by the board members specifically stated that the science remains unsettled. “That was a positive,” Maloney noted. “We did that with little fanfare. The board had little discussion; some said it was all quackery. But they passed it, so that was good news.” According to the Wyoming (Minnesota) practitioner, the CDC estimate of 30,000 reported new cases every year is actually 10 times higher. It’s more like 300,000, Maloney said. McKeague is included among those statistics. And like 50 percent of those with Lyme, she never noticed a tick bite or the telltale bull’s-eye rash. She is managing fl areups through both natural remedies, including probiotics, and antibiotics pre-

scribed by her doctor. “I really watch my diet and constantly detox,” McKeague said. “I eat paleo-style, no sugar, no gluten, organic. With chronic Lyme, you’re always trying something new.” The White Bear woman credits her husband, The Station Pub co-owner Jake McKeague, and restaurant staff with helping her work, stay active and “use my brain. I have an amazing support system. Our staff is like family. They help take care of me.” Awareness of the disease is something McKeague is eager to spread. She encourages people to learn landscaping tips for evading ticks, to use preventative measures and to always check themselves for ticks. And research the disease. She particularly likes a website called TiredofLyme.com. If people want to talk, McKeague assures she’s there to listen. “It helps to have that camaraderie,” she said. “Lyme disease is a horribly dark illness. It affects you physically, mentally and socially. I have good days and bad days but the good days are never what they were before Lyme disease. You never wake up and feel amazing.”

A blacklegged (deer) tick in the nymph stage is thought to transmit the most cases of Lyme disease. They are extremely tiny so can feed unnoticed. When engorged, adult deer ticks swell to the size of a small bean.

Prevention tips listed on the Minnesota Lyme Association website, mnlyme.org, include: For humans: • Spray clothing and camping gear with permethrin several hours before your outing so it has time to dry. Permethrin kills ticks on contact. • Apply concentrations of 30 percent or higher of DEET to skin. Picaridin, 20 percent concentration, is an alternative to DEET. It has less odor and doesn’t damage certain fabrics and materials like DEET does. • Tuck shirts into pants, pant legs into socks, etc., to inhibit tick movement.

For dogs: • Vaccinate annually for Lyme disease – contracting Lyme disease doesn’t make them immune. • Apply a topical vet-recommended tick prevention. • Use a Scalibor collar as an alternative to topical protection.

Bacon Continued from page 1A A half-price discount is offered for the third and subsequent packages in the same order. Jakoblich contends that in addition to being much tastier than the much less expensive bacon varieties that can be found at a grocery store, the bacon on his site shrinks very little. “You get what you pay for. Once you try the good stuff you’ll never go back,” he said. Potential customers need not take just his word that the bacon on his site is some of the best out there, he said, because they all are award-winning companies. “I won’t just sell anything. They have to have a good reputation,” he said. His site also offers some uniquely seasoned bacons, such as raspberry chipotle. The apple cinnamon variety from R.J.’s Meats is the site’s best seller. While bacon is the primary offering, there also are a few other meat items available, including Polish sausage, bratwurst, and snack

Matoska Memories

sticks in multiple varieties such as beer with jalapeno and cheddar. Jakoblich provides the manufacturers with the containers, gel cooling pack and other shipping materials, which keep the frozen meat cold for up to 80 hours. The Bacon Scout keeps a cut of each order in exchange for his services. Revenue is growing, but Jakoblich is not a full-time entrepreneur. By day he works as the parish administrator of St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church in Mahtomedi. Between taste testing and photo shoots for his website, a whole lot of bacon is baked in the Jakoblich house, located near Central Middle School. Thankfully, his wife and four sons like bacon almost as much as he does, Jakoblich said. He’d like to feature recipes for some of his family’s favorite bacon-infused dishes on his blog. Jakoblich’s other goals including having promotional booths at bacon festivals, growing awareness of the site, adding a few more vendors and increasing sales.

Coming to South Campus: District 832 budget beneďŹ ts college remedial classes from local levy, state increases by Kristine Goodrich Editor MAHTOMEDI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This year District 832 is expected to draw nearly $2 million from its reserves to balance its operating budget. Next year, thanks primarily to sizable operating levy and state funding increases, the district is projected to have a $340,000 general fund surplus. Last week, the District 832 School Board approved preliminary budgets for the 2015-16 ďŹ scal year, which commences on July 1. No budget cutting or operating reserve drawdown is needed thanks to the raised revenues. Total spending, including operations, debt payments and more, was budgeted at $50.2 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $5.3 million, or nearly 12 percent, increase from the current year. Total revenues were budgeted at $49.7 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a $7.7 million increase, over 18 percent. In the general fund, which encompasses most of the district's operations, revenues were budgeted at nearly $36.4 million (a nearly 9 percent increase) and expenses were budgeted at nearly $36.8 million (a nearly 3 percent increase). The majority of the spending increase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; over $1.4 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is for staff salaries and beneďŹ ts, reported Director of Business Services Rochel Manders. Salaries and beneďŹ ts account for 79 percent of the general fund expenditures. Thanks to the levy referendum passage last November, the amount of local tax dollars the district receives is jumping by

$2.3 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a nearly 43 percent increase. Taxes now fund 21 percent of the general fund expenses. In setting the fund's budget, administrators assumed an anticipated 2 percent increase, or $434,000, in the main state aid formula; legislators approved that in a special session the next day. State funding overall, which makes up nearly 73 percent of the district's revenues, is budgeted to increase nearly 4 percent. A new, complicated special education funding formula means the ďŹ nancial staff weren't precisely sure and had to estimate how much funds Mahtomedi will receive, Manders said. A $450,000 increase was estimated. The critical portion of the general fund balance that isn't designated for any certain use is expected to grow by $340,000. That would mean the balance would

equal about 9 percent of the fund's expenditures for the year; district policy is to keep the balance equal to at least 8 percent. In other district funds, the community education department is expected to end the year with a $150,000 surplus. In the food service fund, there will be no meal price increase and approximately $44,000 will be taken out of reserves for kitchen equipment upgrades. The district has a self-funded employee health insurance program that is expected to be in the red again next year. The insurance fund is projected to have a $355,000 deďŹ cit at the end of next year. A committee comprised of staff representatives is restructuring the program with an aim of controlling the costs; implementation is planned in 2016-17.

Unexpected revenues give District 624 budget a boost

White Bear Lake Area High School seniors who aren't quite prepared for college-level math and reading have a new opportunity. In a partnership with Century College, South Campus will offer the college's remedial classes beginning next year. A full-year Algebra 3 course and a semester reading comprehension course will be offered. The course content will be the same as the courses at Century but will be taught by South Campus teachers. The new classes will have a combined enrollment of more than 100 next school year. The objective is to prevent students from needing to pay to take remedial classes once they get to college, according to officials from both schools. Century and other colleges require new students to take math and reading admission tests; those who don't pass one or both portions of the test are required to take a remedial class or classes that are not eligible for credit. South Campus students who complete one or both of the classes and continue their studies at Century will bypass all or the respective portions of Century's admission test and have automatic eligibility to take credit-earn-

ing language arts and math classes. The new South Campus classes won't be limited to pupils who plan to attend Century. But students who go on to other post-secondary institutions wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to skip admission tests. The courses will count toward seniors' high school math and language arts elective requirements. For students who go on to Century, the courses will be recorded on their Century transcript as though they had taken the course at Century. Countering the new offerings, South Campus Principal Tim Wald reported that some language arts courses that have had low enrollment numbers are being eliminated. Approximately one in five White Bear grads enrolls at Century College. Approximately half of those White Bear enrollees need to take a remedial class or classes, noted Vice President of Academic Affairs Michael Berndt. Nationally, three-fourths of enrollees in two-year colleges need remedial coursework. The majority of those students drop out before earning a degree, Berndt said. Assistant Superintendent Sara Paul called the partnership â&#x20AC;&#x153;a dramatic step in addressing that issue and increasing the number of students who can go on and immediately take college credit-earning classes.â&#x20AC;?

White Bear Lake School Board Notes

by Kristine Goodrich Editor

Additional action taken by the District 624 School Board at its June 8 meeting included: â&#x20AC;˘ Approved revisions to four district policies: * Changes to the open enrollment policy include an addition detailing the procedure if there are more applicants than openings. Siblings of enrolled students have priority, as do â&#x20AC;&#x153;applications related to an approved integration and achievement plan.â&#x20AC;? Any remaining placements are to be decided by random lottery. * Changes to the school activities policy include an addition that fees will be waived for students whose families qualify for the free and reduced lunch program. * Additions to the hazing prohibition policy include a requirement that the district commence investigation within one school day of the receipt of a hazing report. * There were a number of additions to the stu-

dent discipline policy, including: The policy now applies when students are walking to or from school and when they are on property adjacent to a school. Use of video and audio recorders are prohibited in all areas of the school unless authorized by a school official (previously they were only prohibited in bathrooms and locker rooms). Another addition notes that confiscated items will be returned only to a parent and, if applicable, only after discipline is imposed and/or an investigation is concluded. â&#x20AC;˘ Accepted more than $13,000 in donations. More than $4,600 of that was to the senior program, including $3,800 from the White Bear Lake Lions Club. The Lions Club also donated $1,000 to the high school track teams, $250 for the Central courage retreat and $100 to the Birch Lake media center. Other donations included nearly $2,600 from the

Lincoln PTA for a homework club. â&#x20AC;˘ Personnel items included approval of two retirements: Oneka fourth-grade teacher Judith Biddle and Birch Lake special education teacher Nancy KirschHiggs, both effective on June 8. â&#x20AC;˘ Hired a contractor to complete the first phase of masonry repairs at Otter Lake this summer. The tuck-pointing work will cost $196,000 and will be funded by alternative facilities bonding (to be repaid by the alternative facilities tax levy). More work will occur next summer. Board member Don Mullin voted in opposition, after inquiring whether the contractor would pay a prevailing wage and if the board would see wage compliance reports. The director of finance and operations responded yes and no, respectively (district finance staff monitor those reports, he said). â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kristine Goodrich

by Kristine Goodrich Editor WHITE BEAR LAKE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Contrary to earlier projections of a deďŹ cit, the recently approved District 624 operating budget forecasts the district will end the 2015-16 school year in the black. The District 624 School Board approved preliminary budgets for its operating, community service, debt and other funds last week. Setting the operating budget required administrators to make multiple assumptions about state funding. The Legislature hasn't yet adopted an education funding bill; it was approved in a special session a few days after the school board met. The general fund operating budget assumed a 2 percent increase in the base state per-pupil funding allotment. In earlier budget forecasting, district ďŹ nance staff had guessed a 1.5 percent increase in the base formula, which is the district's largest source of funding. That and an increase in special education funding were the primary reasons the earlier projected $702,000 deďŹ cit is now a projected $67,000 surplus. The draft budget doesn't include an additional potential increase in special education funding that wasn't a certainty when the board set the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Until it's actually

money being received, we're going to be cautious and not budget for that,â&#x20AC;? Director of Finance and Operations Wayne Kazmierczak said, adding that the increase is anticipated to be between $500,000 and $1 million. Total general fund revenue is budgeted at $97.9 million and spending is budgeted at $99.6 million. The ďŹ gures include a planned drawdown of the fund reserve by nearly $2 million, mostly to fund construction projects. The food service budget projects a modest surplus and there will be no increase in meal prices. The community services budget is projected to break even after a $175,000 transfer from the general fund, which is a smaller transfer than the past few years. Kazmierczak also presented to the board budget forecasts for 2016-17 and 2017-18. A shortfall of more than $300,000 is predicted in 2016-17, which Kazmierczak described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;certainly a manageable deďŹ cit.â&#x20AC;? The forecast assumes another 2 percent state base funding increase and a $1 million reserves drawdown. A $2 million deďŹ cit is tentatively predicted in 2017-18; but it is based on â&#x20AC;&#x153;conservativeâ&#x20AC;? revenue projections and the actual deďŹ cit will likely be less, Kazmierczak said.

He was joined by Rick Rausch, middle, a 20-year veteran of the MS ride and dispatcher Hunter Shoultz, who did it for the first time. The 150-mile journey started 7 a.m. Saturday, June 13. Riders went 75 miles before stopping to camp at the Hinkley Grand Casino. The second 75-mile leg ended in White Bear Lake Sunday afternoon.

Bears capture state title, knock off unbeaten Jaguars

– Photos by Matt Daivs

White Bear Lake fans came out to support the Bears in their title run. Bill Charles of White Bear Lake scored a goal and assisted on one for the Bears in a 14-13 overtime victory against Eden Prairie June 11.

About WBLAHS lacrosse (source: wblax.com) •Prior to its varsity status, the team had club status. Its 2007 team logged a 15-0 record and won the club state championship in 2007. •Current coach Brandon Husak launched the varsity team in 2008, finishing 12-0 and fourth at state. It's now regularly one of the most competitive in the East Metro. It finished fourth at state in both 2011 and 2013. •Most varsity-level players started at the youth level, playing in the White Bear Lacrosse Association.

by Matthew Davis Contributing Writer MINNETONKA — Welcome-home fi reworks were set off when the White Bear Lake boys lacrosse team bus pulled up to South Campus after winning the state championship Saturday, That seemed fi tting. White Bear's explosion on offense had buried once-unbeaten Bloomington Jefferson early en route to a 12-8 victory in the state title game that night in Minnetonka. Matt Swanson and Connor Dehnert got the Bears' offense going quickly with a couple goals in the fi rst 3 minutes of the game. “Our two parts of our game plan were to come out and make the opponent play our game, every game, and to adjust,” Bears coach Brandon Husak said. “We had enough weapons up our sleeves … to be able to force the opponent into playing the game we wanted.” That all showed June 10 at Tonka. Victories

on face-offs and ball control by the Bears (18-1) led to an onslaught of goals in the ﬁ rst quarter alone for a 6-2 lead. Shane Olsen added a goal, as did Hunter Peters. Swanson chipped in a second, and Charles Bill made it 6-2. Peterson put in the lone goal for White Bear in the second period, which gave the Bears a 7-2 halftime lead. They didn't let off on the gas in the third quarter; Peters put one in earlier than 1 minute into the period. Dehnert and Olsen then each notched a couple more scores in the ensuing 6 minutes for a commanding 10-2 lead. Swanson made it 11-2 before the Jaguars began showing some life with four unanswered goals to end the quarter. Dehnert ended the run right away in the fourth quarter with a score 36 seconds in for a 12-6 lead. Jefferson could only muster two more goals for its rapidly fading chances thanks in part in Bear goalie Will Ramert, who had 11 saves and a .579 save percentage. The Jags went scoreless for almost 27 minutes straight at one point.

•White Bear Lake went undefeated in conference play in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015. It was section champion in 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2015. •Many White Bear players have gone on to play lax at the D1, D2, and D3 levels. •In individual honors this season: -Connar Dehnert was Mr. Lacrosse; All-Section, First Team AllState; All-American; Pioneer Press East Metro Player of the Year; and named to the Star Tribune All-Metro Boys

Besides the stellar goal scoring, Joey Goudreau aided the Bear offense with five assists. Such offensive fi reworks warranted the fireworks show that greeted the Bear bus at home. The celebration marked the fi rst boys lacrosse state title in White Bear. “They (the Bears) knew their alumni (and) their community were supportive and behind them and believed in them,” Husak said. The win has been a long time coming. The Bears made three state tournament appearances in the past fi ve years since joining MSHSL boys lacrosse in 2008. They also won a state club title in 2007 before shifting to the MSHSL. White Bear came into the title game with extra momentum after knocking off longtime state nemesis Eden Prairie 14-13 in overtime. It overcame a 6-1 hole in the fi rst quar-

Lacrosse Team -Jonathan Arko was Second Team All-State and All-Section -Ethan Peterson was Third Team All-State and All-Section -Matt Swanson was All-Section and broke the state record for most goals scored in an MSHSL boys lacrosse state tournament game (8) -N amed All Section were Will Ramert, Shane Olsen, Tyler Peterson and Charles Bill

Sports Lecuyer lifts Zephyrs in state boys run Sports Briefs

by Matthew Davis Contributing Writer

MINNETONKA — Brent Lecuyer saved some of his best goal scoring for last with Mahtomedi. Lecuyer, a senior attack, scored seven goals in two state boys lacrosse consolation games as the Zephyrs claimed the consolation crown Saturday. He scored twice and assisted on one goal in his team's 8-6 victory over Blaine at Hopkins High School. Before the Zephyrs could even take the field against the Bengals, Lecuyer had the goal that sent his team there two days earlier in a 12-11 overtime win against Blake June 11. He put the game winner in at 2:31 in overtime. “I knew there was a tiny bit of time in overtime left,” Lecuyer said. “We've been getting a lot of those looks earlier in the game, so I decided to take it.” Lecuyer also had the last Zephyr goal in regulation for a 11-10 lead. The Bears man-

aged to tie with 38.1 seconds left to force overtime. Lecuyer's fifth goal to end it in OT came as a relief. “It felt really good to put it to an end after lots of runs and so forth for both teams, and show everyone we deserve to be here,” Lecuyer said. Facing a perennial lacrosse power in Blake, the Zephyrs and Bears went back-and-forth in exchanging leads throughout the game. Conner Lawless and Tyler Chalupsky rallied the Zephyrs in the first half from a 4-2 hole to tie things 4-4 at the half with a pair of goals. Blake built an 8-5 edge in the third quarter, but Lecuyer scored a couple goals and Lawless and Lucas Honebrink each chipped in a goal to take the lead at 9-8. “We knew we didn't want to have a run-and-gun battle,” Lecuyer said. “We wanted it to be more set up, six-on-six. When we were able to stop them from running back and forth, we capitalized on it and got them six on six.”

Cutline Back and forth scoring continued for Mahtomedi in the consolation title game, as well on June 13. Against Blaine the Zephyrs fell behind 1-0, but Matt Schwartz tied things up early 1-1. Josh Campbell added a goal for a 2-1 Zephyr lead in the first quarter. Campbell scored again in the second to tie the game 3-3 after the Bengals had scored two unanswered goals. Lawless put the Zephyrs back in front 4-3 before the half. Blaine had the lone goal

in the third to tie at 4-4, but Schwartz gave Mahtomedi the lead again in the fourth on a score. Lecuyer answered with his first goal of the game. Calupsky gave the Zephyrs a 67-5 edge. Then Lecuyer put in his second for a 8-5 lead, which staved off the Bengals who could only muster one more goal. Evan Stoker finished with the win in goal for the Zephyrs and had nine saves. Mahtomedi finished the season 14-5 overall.

Mahtomedi's run ends 0-2 at Class AA state baseball by Matthew Davis Contributing Writer ST. PAUL — Bats had been clicking for Mahtomedi against solid pitching in the Section 4AAA baseball tournament, which held plenty of promise for state. Getting past Class AAA state quarterfinals didn't happen, though, as the No. 3 seed Zephyrs ran into a hot pitcher against Robbinsdale Armstrong and fell 2-1 June 12. Mahtomedi's batters endured eight strikeouts and could not get on the board after the first inning at CHS Field. “We got a couple tough bounces (and) ran into a pretty tough pitcher,” noted Coach John Hardgrove. Sean Hjelle pitched another solid

outing for the Zephyrs, with seven strikeouts and four hits allowed. He had only allowed one run until the sixth inning when the Falcons got the go-ahead run. Trevor Moses drove in the lone run for Mahtomedi with Zack Taylor crossing the plate in the first inning. Alek Stone and John Peterson had the only other two hits of the game for the Zephyrs. “We just couldn't piece enough hits together to get that added run,” Hardgrove said. That all meant a trip to the consolation bracket for a second-straight year. Bats returned strong in the consolation semifinal with 10 Zephyr hits against St. Michael-Albertville Saturday at Siebert Field. Mahtomedi even broke a 1-1 tie in

the fifth inning with two runs, but the Knights rallied in the sixth and seventh to beat the Zephyrs 5-3. STMA's closer didn't let any Zephyrs across down the stretch. Mitch Nordin took the loss on the mound for Mahtomedi, with three strikeouts in six innings of work. He allowed five earned runs on six hits. Moses led the Zephyr batting with a 4-4 day and a run scored. Sam Mustar drove in a run and scored once, and Stone did likewise. Danny Larson and Sean Noel also drove in a run apiece. Mahtomedi finished the season at 21-5 overall.

Bear boys golf fourth in state COON RAPIDS — The White Bear Lake boys golf team took fourth place in the state tournament June 9 and 10 at Bunker Hills Golf Club. Wayzata captured the championship, with Edina finishing in second (9 strokes better than the Bears) and Lakeville South taking third. “All in all the season was a success for the Bears,” said Coach Craig Nasvik. “(We) captured the conference title, earned a trip to state for the third year in a row and placed fourth in the state. Already the re-

turning golfers are looking forward to the 2016 season.” After the first day of competition the Bears were tied with Wayzata and Edina with 302, led by Mason Fiddle who was also tied for the individual lead with a 1-under-par 71. Also contributing for the Bears were John Delaney, 73; Matt Pitcher, 76; Mike Vowels, 82; Jack Peterson, 84; and Scott Marston, 85. The Bears looked forward to the second day knowing they had every opportunity to finish on a high note, but got off to

a rocky start and could not get anything going for them. As the last ball fell into 9 West they posted a second-day score of 318, not enough to hold onto a spot in the top three. Fiddle finished with a 79, good for a three-way tie for fifth overall with a twoday total of 150. Pitcher shot 76 for a total of 152, Delaney 80 for a total of 153. Vowels shot 84 for a total of 166, followed by Scott Marston with 83 for a total of 168 and Peterson with 85 for a total of 169. -Submitted

Sign of the times by Debra Neutkens Regional Editor WHITE BEAR LAKE — Sign, sign, everywhere a sign. Take the new, yet-to-be-installed, Ramsey County library sign, for instance. Councilman Dan Jones doesn't care for the design. "I don't think it looks good. The county did not listen to our staff months ago and ignored our attempts to change it," Jones said at the June 9 City Council meeting. "Give us a better sign." It is Jones' opinion that the sign doesn't blend in with the Civil War monument across the street. He dislikes that the word "library" is 20 percent the size of "Ramsey County" and wondered why the word "Lake" was added when it was supposed to read White Bear Area — "so not to offend our neighbors." The White Bear Lake branch is the ﬁ rst library to have the sign under the county's new branding policy. "Will other libraries be rebranded?" asked Jones. City Planner Anne Kane replied, "No, we were told there are no plans to modify other signs." That's not quite the case, though. County Library Director Susan Nemitz was on hand at the meeting in case there were questions. Except she thought the council would be discussing an agenda item pertaining to a setback variance for the freestanding, 9-foot-long monument sign, not its design. Nemitz said the New Brighton library will also get a new sign. "We are replacing signs as they are being redone and there are detailed specs as to how the brand is to be used."

The director told the council the branding standard, including font, colors and size of the lettering, was approved late last year, something the commissioners "worked tirelessly to do and were invested in." "I feel there is little to no ﬂ exibility on the sign," she told the council, "but I will be happy to go back and tell them you're uncomfortable with it." Jones wanted her to know he has nothing against branding. "I work with branding every day," he said. "It's my job. But I don't get the branding here. Every library doesn't need the same sign. I think we can do better." Councilman Bryan Belisle said he didn't have a problem with the sign. "That's their brand. I'm satisﬁed with the sign." Jones then moved to continue the sign discussion to the June 23 meeting, which was approved 3-1. Renee Tessier opposed; Kevin Edberg was absent. More on signs Dynamic signs were also on the agenda, a subject in which a chamber of commerce task force is keenly interested. The city is looking at changing the sign code to allow use of dynamic display technology on commercial, industrial and public properties. The chamber of commerce task force headed by John Lupo of Grandma's Bakery liked the proposed amendment with one exception: they asked that 100 percent of the allowable sign area be permitted to be dynamic rather than the 50 percent preferred by staff. Staff did want direction from council as to whether freestanding dynamic display signs should be allowed in the downtown

It was noted the changeable copy sign promoting downtown merchants on Fourth Street sits on public property, not on B-5 property. Should ﬂ ashing, scrolling, brightly lit, pixilated signs be allowed in the downtown district? "Dynamic signs are a distraction. Some are very close to the road," said Councilman Belisle. "Are we identifying a business or throwing out messages? In my opinion, we should hold off." As currently drafted, the ordinance reads that each message must remain for a minimum of 8 seconds or a possible 450 messages per hour. There is also something called pixel pitch that must be addressed, as well as property size. Belisle said he wouldn't support any message duration of less than a minute, with brightness and proximity to the road factors in his decision. "Being a progressive city isn't having 15 signs on County Road E," he added.

Making the point that a sign's effectiveness is a subjective thing, Councilman Doug Biehn said he has yet to see a dynamic sign he felt was distracting. "We need to talk about the industry standard and look to the future," he noted. Jones thanked the chamber of commerce task force for "pulling us into the 21st century" with its suggestions. The mayor pointed out that nothing is driving a decision that can't wait. Councilwoman Renee Tessier agreed, preferring to wait for Edberg to return. The issue was tabled until staff is ready to bring it back to council. Chamber Executive Director Tom Snell said he didn't consider postponement a negative. "We understand the council needs to look at things like this very carefully. We will continue to pursue modernizing White Bear's sign ordinance."

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT the Vadnais Heights City Council, having duly considered the matter, has found the conditions at the abovereferenced Property to be hazardous and to constitute a public nuisance as defi ned in Vadnais Heights City Code §§ 180.010, 181.050, 181.060, 181.080, 181.090, 183.040, and 183.010; and Minnesota Statute § 617.81, subd. 2, for the reasons set forth herein. On May 20, 2015, the Vadnais Heights City Council took the following actions: 1. Considered evidence including oral testimony from the Fire Chief based on an inspection of the Property and including photographic evidence obtained from the Property on May 15, 2015, and the Draft Narrative by Ramsey County Sheriff’s Investigator Daniel Eggers concerning a search warrant execution at the Property, and based on the foregoing evidence and the Council Members’ personal observations of the Property over several years, found that the Property conditions are harmful to the health, safety, comfort, and repose of a considerable number of members of the public and depreciate the property value of a considerable number of the City’s inhabitants, and thus, constitute a public nuisance; 2. Ordered those responsible for the conditions to immediately remedy them; 3. Ordered that the City shall abate the nuisance and assess the costs as a lien against the Property if the conditions are not remedied within 30 days; 4. Ordered that evidence will again be heard at the July 1, 2015, City Council meeting, and if the Property conditions are not fully remedied, the City will take any necessary action to abate the nuisance; and 5.

There are several large piles and areas of garbage or debris including machines and equipment with moving parts on the Property which need to be removed and disposed of properly. 3. Unlawful uses in R-1 district zone and businesses not licensed as provided by law, including operating a business from residential property, which is not an allowed use under the zoning code, Vadnais Heights City Code §§ 9.020 and 181.060. 4. Open storage of junk or inoperable motor vehicles and vehicle parts in violation of Vadnais Heights City Code §§ 20.080(4), 96.020, and 183.100; and Minnesota Statute § 168B.04. All motor vehicles were greater than three years old, extensively damaged, inoperable, abandoned, did not have valid registration, and had no value beyond scrap value. 5. Storage of unlicensed boats, snowmobiles, and campers in the rear yard in violation of Vadnais Heights City Code § 20.080(1)(e). 6. Unlawful number and size of motor vehicles on residential property as follows: a. Exceeding residential property limit of one vehicle per licensed driver plus two additional vehicles; and b. Parking and/or storing one or more motor vehicles that exceed one ton capacity or exceed nine passengers capacity; c. Both of which are violations of Vadnais Heights City Code § 20.080(1)(d). 7. The foregoing violations have occurred continuously since before June 4, 2014. 8. The Mayor, members of the Vadnais Heights City Council, and City staff have received several complaints about these violations, which unreasonably annoy, injure, or endanger the safety or health of a considerable number of the members of the public. 9. A letter dated April 29, 2015, was sent to Maria Flor Vivaldo by Vadnais Heights Fire Technician Chris Hearden demanding that Ms. Vivaldo bring the fi rst parcel described above into compliance by May 29, 2015, or citations would be issued for the code violations. 10. To-date, the violations have not been remedied. THE ABOVE-DESCRIBED NUISANCE AND DANGEROUS PROPERTY CONDITIONS MUST BE REMEDIED, AS FOLLOWS, WITHIN 30 DAYS OF SERVICE OF THIS NOTICE AND ORDER: 1. All piles and areas of garbage or debris on the Property must be removed and properly disposed of or discarded. 2. All businesses must cease operating from the Property and remove all equipment associated with CMT Landscaping and Removal and/or any other unauthorized business from the Property. 3. All motor vehicles and vehicle parts must be removed from the Property, as there is no Property occupant and, thus, no motor vehicle is allowed on the Property. If you fail to comply within 30 days or serve an answer within 20 days from the date of service of this Notice and Order upon you, the consequences may include without limitation the following:

The City will abate the nuisance, and the expenses of such abatement, plus an additional 25% of such expenses, will be placed as a lien against the Property and certifi ed to the Ramsey County Auditor for collection in the same manner as property taxes. All personal property, including without limitation machinery, equipment, motor vehicles, campers, boats, and trailers stored or displayed outside on the Property will be disposed of by the City. A motion for summary enforcement of this Notice and Order may be made to the Ramsey County District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 463.19.

A civil judgment for the abatement costs may be sought against any party responsible for the nuisance. The City Attorney will prosecute any responsible party for misdemeanor public nuisance, including sanctions of 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fi ne. The above consequences are in addition to the criminal citations that will be issued to Maria Flor Vivaldo after May 29, 2015, and the criminal prosecution that is pending against Jeffrey C. Jacobsen. PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE THAT if the circumstances that are the basis for the nuisance involve the acts of a commercial or residential tenant, you may fi le with the Ramsey County District Court a motion to cancel the lease or otherwise secure restitution of the premises from the tenant who has maintained or conducted the nuisance. You may assign to the City Attorney the right to fi le this motion. In addition to the grounds provided in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 504B, the maintaining or conducting of a nuisance as defi ned in section 617.81, subdivision 2 by a tenant is an additional ground authorized by law for seeking the cancellation of a lease or the restitution of the premises.

Data on how the facility design impacts staff injuries will also be provided. The Board would also like to have some talking points (executive summary) for presenting this study to their school boards. Given intermediate school districts do not currently have legislature authority to remodel, the school board will wait until after the legislative session to take any action. The cost estimates for the project were done in February 2015. The Board noted that it would be nice to know if the City of Little Canada would approve the project before moving forward.

The new space is larger and can accommodate a 50% increase in students, as well as is in close proximity to many local businesses. As planning continues for Capitol View Center, we will consider moving this program there as a permanent home. Approved the lease agreement with Willow Lake Properties, LLC to provide the space for the Intermediate’s WELS North (Work Experience Life Skills) program. The lease is a five year lease, with two, five year options for renewal. It will commence on August 1, 2015. Resolution Rescinding Proposed Placement on Unrequested Leave of Absence Since the school board action on March 3, 2015 to approve the initial staffing reductions at Valley Crossing Community School, several new developments have occurred that create a positive impact on the staffing plan for the 2015-16 school year. In late March, Valley Crossing partner superintendents met and agreed to add back several teaching positions, as well as use the enrollment projections of 645 students as of April 1, 2015 for the final enrollment count used to guide all planning. Rescinded the School Board action taken at its regular meeting on March 3, 2015, proposing to place Laura Larsen (1.0 FTE), Michelle Ginther (1.0 FTE), Elizabeth Stueve (1.0 FTE) and Deb Graf (.75 FTE), teachers of said school district, on unrequested leave of absence (without pay or fringe benefits) effective at the end of the 2014-2015 school year no later than June 30, 2015, pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 122A.40 and Article XV, Section 3 of the current Agreement between Northeast Metropolitan Intermediate School District No. 916 and the 916 Federation of Teachers, Local 3748. Resolution Proposing Placement on Unrequested Leave of Absence Proposed that: • Dave Kelsey, a teacher-Truck Diesel Mechanics • Tom Spehn, a teacher-Construction Occupations • Teresa White, a teacher-Dental Assistant of said school district, be placed on .2 FTE unrequested leave of absence without pay or fringe benefits, effective at the end of the 2014-15 school year on June 30, 2015, pursuant to M.S. 122A.40, subdivision 11. Resolution Relating to the Termination and Nonrenewal of the Teaching Contract of Long-Term Substitute Probationary Teachers Terminated the teaching contract of long-term substitute probationary teachers Melanie McNulty and Neerja Suri-Kumra at the end of the working day on June 30, 2015. Resolution Relating to the Termination and Nonrenewal of the Teaching Contract of Probationary Teachers Superintendent Hayes commented that the list of non-renewed teachers is longer than it typically has been in the past due to a number of reasons: (a) the decision to not renew our contract with LifeSpan, (b) more new teachers were hired this year than in any other recent year, and (c) state licensure challenges. Terminated the teaching contract of the following probationary teachers at the end of the working day on June 30, 2015: Rachel Adamek, Nii Anyetei Akofio-Sowah, Angela Ause, Lisa Boland Blake, Megan Bradley, Benjamin Conniff, Bethany DeLong, Anthony Denny, Joseph Dustin, Aimee Eriksen, Sarah Falcon, Cynthia Giese, Heidi Guthmiller, Kristina Hall, Amy Hansen, Kathleen Hatch, John Hayes, Jennifer Herlick, Allison Hunter, Kevin Krzenski, Christopher McDonald, Debra McGovern, Paul Nienaber, Annie Ormiston, Samantha Plante, Kevin Race, Ashley Reuvers, Christopher Reynolds, Kami Roark, Stephanie Snow, Rachel Tobias, and Alija Triviski. Resolution Proposing the Immediate Discharge of a Continuing

Contract Employee Member Newberg asked for a recess for five minutes at 8:02 p.m. The Board reconvened at 8:07 pm. Rescinded the Notice of Proposed Discharge dated June 18, 2014, and proposed discharge based upon additional facts and circumstances. Approved the Notice of Proposed Discharge to be issued to the employee, setting forth the specific statutory grounds for termination, as well as the specific factual allegations, and authorized the School Board Clerk to sign the Notice of Proposed Discharge on behalf of the School District. Approval of 2015-16 School Calendar Dan Naidicz, director of special education, noted that the 2015-16 school calendar includes two additional staff development days and a total of 172 student contact days (reduced from 174). By reducing the student contact days we are avoiding an additional cost to member districts for the additional staff development days. This is within the range of our member districts’ student contact days, which vary from 166 to 174. Approved the 2015-16 Basic School Calendar as presented. Retirements (10+ Years) Accepted the resignation of Deanne DeGraff, principal-Career and Tech Center, upon the occasion of her retirement, effective June 30, 2015, with great appreciation. Deanne was first hired as a supervisor on 8/16/99 and then became the principal on 7/01/07. Deanne will have provided the school district with 16 years of service. Acceptance of Capitol View Repurpose Study Accepted the Capitol View Center Repurpose Study as presented by Jennifer Anderson-Tuttle of LSE Architects. Acceptance of Probation Extension Agreement Accepted the agreement with Education Minnesota to provide for a fourth year of probation for a teacher in the 2015-2016 school year. Renewal: Property, Casualty, Liability and Errors & Omissions This is the fourth year for our school district to be insured by Hanover. This coverage was bid out three years ago and Hanover was the low cost carrier. This proposal represents a 10% decrease in premium from fiscal year 2014-2015 and is mainly in property coverage. Hanover insures a large number of school districts. Renewed the Property, Casualty, Liability and Errors & Omissions insurance with the Hanover Insurance Group for a premium of $130,785.76 for the period of May 1, 2015 through May 1, 2016. Acceptance of Workers’ Compensation Insurance Proposal SFM offered a workers’ compensation renewal proposal based on continuing meetings held to review program and safety initiatives being performed to improve our safety program. As previously reported, our mod factor increased from 2.07 to 2.67. This is based on the 2011, 2012, and 2013 school years. For 2014-15, our number of cases is currently low and running at approximately 58% loss ratio vs 183% loss ratio for the 2013-14 school year. This proposal represents a 28% increase, all attributable to the increase in mod factor. The Minnesota Assigned Risk pool premium would be $876,726. Due to the higher premium and the lower amount of claims monitoring services received as a member of the risk pool, it is still to our advantage to stay insured with SFM. Accepted the proposal from State Fund Mutual (SFM) to provide workers’ compensation insurance for the period of May 1, 2015, through May 1, 2016, for a premium of $748,247. Approval of Minutes Approved as amended the regular school board meeting minutes of March 3, 2015, (Page 1, “Questions and/or Comments from Citizens Present on Non-Agenda Items”; and Page 12, Board Forum, “Member Auge’ noted that she is uncomfortable with having parents participate in at the school board meeting.” Board Forum Member Lodico reported that Centennial High School hosted the “Arrive Live” event today. The school board had a work session last night. They will be going out in the fall with an operating levy—the results of their community survey were outstanding. In addition to the two student suicides in November, there was another student suicide recently. Centennial has started negotiations with all employee groups. They have a couple of retirements and new positions in the district. Member Auge’ reported that she had the opportunity to call MSBA on a couple of items—they are a great resource! The district is in the midst of planning Superintendent Phillips’ retirement. Three board members from North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale went to NSBA and they all stated it was one of the best! The district received notification that the teacher union wants to open negotiations and give back Q-Comp days so that the district doesn’t have to reduce teachers. Member Buchholz reported that at Stillwater’s last board meeting, some staff were cut. They may be offering multi-grade classrooms at Marine Elementary. Taxpayers will be voting May 12 on a bond to improve facilities and change grade configuration. Stillwater is on the wait list for Q-Comp. The contract for their new superintendent is not settled. Jennifer Houle, the University of Minnesota senior who went into the Mississippi River, graduated from Stillwater. Member Palmer reported that Columbia Heights won’t have to do any ULAs this year. The board received the first proposal on capital projects. The candidate pool is down to three finalists for the principal position at Columbia Academy. Member Theisen reported that Forest Lake is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Festival of Nations coming up. Preparations are underway for the district’s Hall of Fame. Staffing and budget reductions have been done. The partnership with the YMCA fell through and they are back to the drawing board on that. Member Lindblad reported that Fridley will be having “Arrive Live” back in the district. They will be celebrating Hayes Elementary being named a School of Excellence and the principal is a finalist for the Minnesota 2015 National Distinguished Principal. Their Key Club has been invited to the White House. Member Edstrom reported that Roseville didn’t have a board quorum for their March meeting. They should be getting the names of the superintendent finalists presented next week, with interviews the week of the 18th, and the new superintendent being named the end of May. Two Roseville board members went to NSBA. They did a presentation along with Superintendent Thein. They are still trying to sell their Lake Owasso property. They will have a retirement celebration for Superintendent Thein in July. Member McGraw reported that Mahtomedi will be adopting their new open enrollment policy at their meeting on Thursday. They have had lots of people coming to the Board about concerns on the number of hockey facilities closing. Work continues on policies and strategic planning. Member Newberg reported that she had spent the morning with Congresswoman Betty McCollum. Last Thursday, Member Newberg received certified mail from MDE on the White Bear Lake 2012 audit report and their wanting $2.1 million back. Member Forsberg reported that the Spring Lake Park Panther Foundation raised $135,000 at their Gala event. A Spring Lake Park 5th grader was invited to participate in the annual Easter Egg Roll at the White House. The district is working on their buildings through a Community Facilities Design Team that will meet five times. The district budget assumptions includes a 1% increase in the formula. Members Forsberg and Sager represented Northeast Metro 916 at NSBA. Member Forsberg found the “Inspire” curriculum interesting. Member Sager reported that the Mounds View School Board had an enrollment update with enrollments dropping a little bit during the year. They also had a report on upcoming summer construction projects in the district, an overview of the 2015 summer programs, and a K-8 science review. She attended some very interesting sessions at NSBA. Member Sager was a recipient of the 2015 Service to Youth Award from Northeast Youth and Family Services. Member Brunnette reported that South Washington County will have a referendum discussion at their meeting on Thursday night. Their strategic plan is in its fifth year. They had a board member resign and will be appointing a new person. Governor Dayton visited the school district. Member Brunnette also attended the NSBA Conference.
