‘Remnant of a not quite bygone era’

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

Hiding in plain sight in Ramsey County communities, including White Bear Lake, are racial covenants that were inserted into property deeds decades ago to prevent people who are not white from becoming homeowners.

Discovered by a local research group called Mapping Prejudice, the covenants have been found in several areas of White Bear Lake in deeds to homes built mostly in the late ‘40s.

The discovery is part of a statewide project to identify and map racial covenants — clauses to keep non-white people from buying or occupying homes.

White Bear Lake historian Sara Markoe Hanson said covenants in the county typically came into play around 1910. By then, most areas on the north end of White Bear were already platted. By the time the south

end was developed in the ‘50s and ‘60s, racial covenants were illegal.

“There are little pieces that were platted during the hot era of covenants,” Hanson added.

The largest area is Gardenette Park, a neighborhood platted in the late 1940s.

An interactive map on the Mapping Prejudice website displays, for example, a covenant found in the Gardenette Park Addition, Block 1, Lot 4, June 1947, that states: “. . . said property shall not be sold or rented to or used by any person except a person or persons of the White Caucasian race, but persons of other

Church blesses mural of patron saint Museums and invented 3D pavement art.

According to Giuliano, the porcelain tiles used in the mural are from Tile Artisans Digital Imaging, LLC. The process creates a durable porcelain tile guaranteed to withstand UV-rays so it will never fade, is scratch and chemical resistant, and allows for easy removal of graffiti.

Guiliano said it's taken approximately a year to complete the mural. The church hopes the mural will be a beacon of hope and devotion. The mural is a creative and public way for the community to be introduced to St. Jude.

A blessing ceremony for the mural was led by Father Chad VanHoose.

St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church in Mahtomedi is the only parish dedicated to the patronage of St. Jude in the state of Minnesota.

St. Jude is the patron of hopeless and lost causes, bringing miracles to those who are struggling.

Parishioner Don Koebele, of Mahtomedi, had a dream of a mural of St. Jude at the church.

That dream has come true.

“It's an homage to Don because he is why it happened,” says Kathy Giuliano, office coordinator at St. Jude. “We call him the corn king because he's grown and donated the corn for Corn Fest for 38 years.”

Master artist Kurt Wenner was commissioned to create the mural. He is a world-renowned artist who studied classical art in the Vatican

OPINION

JUNE 29, 2022

Inflation is hurting

I

T SEEMS TO be an unusual time in the economic history of the nation and perhaps to some degree for the world. I’ve been writing columns for decades and the current state of the economy seems in many ways uncontrolled.

Inflation is running higher than anytime in the past 40 years and recent interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve could soon push the economy into recession.

As most readers know, the high price of gas and diesel is one of the driving forces pushing up inflation.

The country runs on petroleum. Our refineries are running between 93-94% capacity and experts say it’s doubtful that production rate can be increased anytime soon. Further, oil companies have no desire to invest more or expand due government regulations. The Biden About the to administration’s plans to reduce the use of petroleum and fossil fuels for generTown ating electricity and operating gasoline Gene Johnson and diesel-powered vehicles and trucks is another factor.

Going green makes a lot of sense for our climate, but you can’t do it overnight. It takes time, technological advancements, and consumer education. The way we are operating is putting undue financial pressure on the consumer.

Some studies indicate inflation is costing the average family with a home mortgage and one or two cars, including all household expenses, $350 more per month. Where does that extra money come from? Savings accounts are not overflowing and the majority of American people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Wages are going up for many workers, but it’s not adequate to overcome the current inflation rate.

Some people are taking extra part-time jobs. Some people are going back into the work force. Others who haven’t been in the work force are starting.

In Minnesota, our Legislature could help out its citizens, but lawmakers can’t agree to use the budget surplus to refund and eliminate some taxes.

Do we have to wait for the next election to elect legislators to represent us? Maybe we need to remind them what we are going through and suggest some solutions. After all, it’s our money!

Following the Covid pandemic, a number of businesses and industries were shut down and supplies ran short. In many cases, the supply chains have yet to catch up. Auto manufacturers continue to be plagued by a shortage of chips for automobiles. We have shortages in many other areas of technology that’s used in all aspects of our manufacturing.

If the economy enters a recession, which is likely, housing will be slowed and the recent increase in interest rates is already having an effect. Yes, we see a great deal of new construction of apartments and condos, but they are also going up with higher rents, which will make it more difficult for people to afford.

All this will force people to reevaluate their lifestyle, spending habits and find cost-saving methods.

Cutting waste, improving efficiencies, careful planning and budgeting will all be essential.

You can learn from others. For example, when seniors go to lunch they often take half of it home for dinner or lunch the next day.

Another way to put it- we may have to add more water to the soup and cream the peas for the toast. I remember that from my childhood.

THE SPRING EQUINOX on June 21st was our longest day of the year. Can you imagine the days are already getting shorter?

COMMUNITIES ALL AROUND are celebrating graduations, schools had all-night parties, and all types of events are being held to celebrate achievement.

We can be very thankful we have so many opportunities for public and private and continuing education. All of the teachers, athletic directors and administrative staff make this happen for our youth. It often takes teachers years to see results and they welcome that openly. I encourage everyone who has had a good educational experience to thank those involved.

Our greatest adventure begins

N

ow that I am entering the second trimester, I can finally share the news!

My husband Patrick and I are expecting our first child this December.

Keeping this secret for the last three months was INCREDIBLY difficult. There were so many times where I would almost say something, Out and just to remember I shouldn’t About spill the beans Shannon yet.

I did howevGranholm er tell some close family members and friends early. My mom’s reaction was pretty epic, and my sister is also thrilled to become an auntie. My grandparents are also so very excited to welcome their first great-grandchild.

I think my dogs, Frosty and Twinkie, are going to make great big sisters. Twinkie however is going to have to come to terms with the fact that 100% of everyone’s attention won’t always be on her. (She will always be my little spoiled princess though.)

I knew we were going to

shock some people, because I think many of them had given up on the thought of us ever having children and being fur parents forever. Patrick and I just celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary June 27.

My husband was ready to have children a couple of years ago, and was just waiting for me to say when. I’ve always known I was meant to be a mom; I just didn’t know when I wanted that to happen. I kept waiting for this big ‘aha’ moment and eventually realized that’s never going to happen for me. I’m never going to not be scared of all the unknowns. I just need to trust that what is meant to be will be — as corny as that sounds.

Perhaps one of the reasons it took me a while to be “ready” was because I was so worried I would have an unhealthy baby.

Growing up with a sick father, I can’t tell you how many times I saw my dad get taken away in an ambulance or recovering in a hospital bed. To this day, it is very hard for me to visit a hospital, so that should make labor interesting.

I’m a very type A person but have learned to accept the fact

that I can’t control everything.

I’m still in the “terrified” stage, but hoping eventually that the excitement will outweigh the scared.

Even though having a newborn in the dead of winter won’t be much fun, I am a believer in signs. The fact that our first child is expected the same month my father passed away is not just a coincidence.

My father always wanted to be a grandpa and was even pestering us for grandchildren before we got married. Now hopefully a month that has historically brought me a lot of sadness, will also bring me happiness too.

BY LORETTA B. HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Who would have thought that a tiny street with three houses on it would serve hundreds of vehicles each day that race up and down it at high speed enough to cause an uproar?

But there is such a street in Mahtomedi.

The Mahtomedi City Council at its June 21 meeting was given the task of resolving speed and parking issues on the 250-foot long Grove Street, just west of Warner Avenue N. Grove Street, which used to be a cul-de-sac, now allows passage from Warner Avenue into the St. Jude of the Lake Catholic Church parking lot and out the other side onto STH 244.

Serving a parish, daycare and school, the parking lot is active at certain times of the day and week.

Residents on Grove Street consider all the activity to be unsafe. “(There are) zooming and dangerous vehicles around St. Jude's parking lot all day long while children are playing in the parking lot,” said Grove Street resident Jeffrey Lundstrom. He said he purposefully parks his car on the street in front of “my own home” to slow traffic down and to secure a parking spot.

Council had two options before it: to pass a resolution prohibiting the parking of motor vehicles on both sides of Grove Street from Warner Avenue to 250 feet west of Warner Avenue or passing a resolution

to establish a school zone speed limit of 15 mph on Grove Street from Warner Avenue to 250 feet west of Warner Avenue.

At the June 7 meeting, representatives from St. Jude spoke during the public comment period to express concerns over the parking of cars on Grove Street, just west of Warner Avenue.

No parking already exists on the north side of Grove Street. With the growth of daycare and school enrollment, pedestrian trail traffic, as well as weekend services, concern over access along this roadway was raised. The church/ school requested that no parking be established on both sides of the roadway.

“One day, one of these cars will hit all the kids biking and playing on that street,” said LaVonne Lundstrom.

“St. Jude is wrong for requesting this.”

In 2004, on the expansion of St. Jude’s parking lot, the city widened the roadway to 24 feet. The church had no daycare then and enrollment was much lower than present.

“We can’t legislate good behavior, so we always deal with cars, bikers, walkers and families,” said Council Member Jane Schneeweis. She said that as the city takes measures to keep other school zones, such as Wildwood Elementary or O. H. Anderson Elementary safe, the city is doing the same for St. Jude School.

“It's convenient for St. Jude, yes, but improving TH 244 is also a conve-

Other action from the June 21 meeting: • The property owners at 317 Wedgewood Drive will be permitted to build an addition to their home, after council approved their request for two setback variances.

The north corner side setback is proposed at 14.6 feet, where a minimum of 30 feet is required. The rear yard setback is proposed to be 31.5 feet, where the requirement is a minimum of 40 feet. After discussion, the Planning Commission determined that the conditions were unique to the site and, therefore, much more difficult to have a home addition of the proposed size without variances.

• The residents at 1728 Park Avenue will be permitted to build a garage, after council approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for the structure. A CUP is needed to allow for a two-story garage.

The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the garage as the only accessory structure on the property.

• The R1-E District where the property is located also has a requirement for the structure’s footprint not being allowed to be more than the 874 square-feet maximum or exceed 80% of house footprint.

The proposed structure will be 720 square feet, or 54% of the house footprint.

nience for everybody.”

She said that the more she heard, the more she was becoming convinced that there should be no parking on both sides of Grove Street.

But the inconvenience should not fall on the few families of Grove Street, Council Member Lily Melander said.

“I can’t support the resolution to close both sides to parking.” She did move to approve the 15 mph resolution, a motion that died for lack of a second.

“The church requested no parking for certain times of the day, but I think it should be for all the time,” said City Engineer John Sachi. “(We should) leave it as is or post no parking for all the time. There's way too much information to put on one sign and make it enforceable.”

The city received two letters from Grove Street residents that were read into the record imploring the city not to prohibit parking on both sides. No parking on both sides would eliminate any guest parking, residents said. The Grove Street contingent requested that council table action on the item and hold a public hearing.

After an hour-long discussion between council and Grove Street residents that included tangential moral and legal accusations, council eventually tabled action on the issue until all stakeholders and a full council could be present. Notices will be sent to the stakeholders.

Thanks for celebration Thank you to St. Mary Of The Lake Church for the free, catered dinner on June 12. The food was delicious, and I’m sure I speak for all 550 recipients.

This was a celebration of paying off our debt on the school addition and our church buildings. We have to thank Fr. Ralph Talbot for his getting this accomplished in so short a time.

Civics lessons needed The recent decision from the Supreme Court of the United States (SOTUS) has demonstrated one obvious and glaring fact- the average American has no functional understanding of our actual system of government. The SCOTUS did not outlaw abortion with the repeal of Roe v. Wade, they simply returned the authority to control abortion laws back to the individual states where it belongs. The 10th Amendment is very clear- if something is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution as a responsibility of the federal government, then it is left to the power of the state or the people of that state to decide. In 1973 the SCOTUS ignored that and created out of whole cloth the idea that abortion was a federal responsibility. In this decision, Justice Alito specifically mentioned that the 1973 Court “failed to ground its decision in text, history, or precedent” at the time they passed Roe. All the current Court did was correct the error that occurred in 1973. Abortion was legal in Minnesota before this decision, it is legal now, and based on the political leanings of the people of this state it will be legal for the foreseeable future. The SCOTUS decision didn’t change anything for the citizens of Minnesota. The fact that so many people in this state don’t realize that should give us all clear understanding that we need to start spending far more energy teaching civics in our schools and a lot less time worrying about non-issues such as CRT and “gendered language.” Cities and state houses across the country are literally besieged with violent protesters screaming about losing their freedoms

• At the end of the meeting, council discussed six topics that were established as requiring constant strategic direction: turnback road projects on STH 120 and STH 244, infrastructure projects, fire and EMT services, water sourcing and quality management, financial management and implementation of the Sustainability Plan.

• Council passed a resolution approving the slate of election judges for the 2022 Primary and General Elections. Council may appoint additional judges within the 25 days before the election if it is determined that additional election judges will be required.

• Several property owners along Juniper Avenue east of East Avenue petitioned the city for a public improvement project providing for the reconstruction of Juniper Street and related utilities from East Avenue to the cul-de-sac.

Council passed a resolution regarding the sufficiency of a petition and authorized the preparation of a feasibility report for those local Juniper Street improvements related to the Street and Storm Sewer Reconstruction.

• The council next meets at 7 p.m., Tuesday, July 19 at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Rd. The July 5 meeting was canceled due to the lack of agenda items.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR as I write this. The fact that none of those people understand the reality of what has happened, and the fact that celebrities, members of the media and even elected officials are feeding into the frenzy, should frighten and concern us all regardless of which side of the abortion issue we fall on. “United we stand, divided we fall.” Let this be an opportunity to show we can disagree peacefully and still get along regardless of the issue.

PAID LETTER Leaders can’t get job done In a year with a historic budget surplus, our legislature could not reach agreement and complete their business on time. Now, we can’t even get them talking about holding a special session to get things done.

All Minnesotans lose significantly if a special session is not held because there are billions of dollars in federal infrastructure funds that can’t be unlocked until the state passes tax and spending agreements. I’m embarrassed our leaders can’t act like adults and get their job done. I’m even more upset about how they are missing this opportunity to invest in our schools and children. They would rather stick it to each other than compromise.

We have one party that put forth a broad education proposal to cover costs for mental health workers, expand pre-kindergarten and fund federally mandated programs that schools have struggled to pay for.

The other party offered a token amount from our huge budget surplus and tied the funds to only using it for a literacy initiative. Looking at these two proposals, there is obviously room to maneuver and come up with a compromise. However, our own Senator Chamberlain, who is chair of the Senate Education Committee, won’t move toward a solution, even after flaws have been pointed out in how he used the data to promote this literacy initiative. He is not representing all his constituents and certainly is not displaying leadership.

COVENANTS: Property owners can discharge discriminatory language on deeds FROM PAGE 1

races may occupy the premises when employed as servants by the owners.” The verbiage also appeared in deeds registered in 1952 and 1953.

Another covenant from May 1934 in the Elmwood Garden Farms addition on Orchard Lane reads: “It is agreed that the premises shall not be occupied by the Black or Yellow races.”

“What I find interesting about that is that area was put in place by a Jewish family,” she observed.

Nestled south of the lake between White Bear Avenue to the west and McKnight Road to the east, Gardenette Park was platted in 1947 by Gustav Axelrod, the son of Russian Jewish immigrants who settled in St. Paul.

“Not to demonize them, it’s just an interesting piece of history,” Hanson said. “There were covenants in other cities, not in White Bear that I’ve seen, that excluded Jewish families.”

Other pockets of racial covenants were found in a small triangular piece along Otter Lake Road, one near Birch Lake and an area just north of Orchard Lane.

Mapping Prejudice researchers visited the Historical Society’s Armory office to scour through bound volumes of the 125-year-old White Bear Press, old council minutes and other documents looking for anything related to covenants.

Realtors, for example, would include language in newspaper ads that a property held a racial covenant as a marketing tool.

“They couldn’t locate anything explicit,” Hanson said.

“I’m not saying we didn’t have racism here, but not in the same written way. It was more implied than blatant.”

When Albert Goins learned

of the Mapping Prejudice project and racial covenants, the White Bear area native said he wasn’t surprised.

“It was common for developers who thought such covenants would enhance the value of a property,” noted Goins, a retired public defender and civil rights attorney. “Racial segregation has often been an economic issue. In those days when you could do it, racial

were invalidated by the High Court four years earlier, they continued to be applied.

“Supreme Court decisions are usually not self-enforcing so unless someone challenged it in 1949 or 1952, these covenants would still exist,” Goins said. “The Legislature banned new discriminatory covenants in 1953 and wisely passed a state statute that prohibited housing discrimination based on race, religion or national origin. That made it clear to people that these statutes, what lawyers call ‘positive law’, tell you affirmatively and positively that people can’t do this.”

Ramsey County property owners holding deeds that include a racial covenant cannot have the language erased, but they can have such covenants “discharged.”

So far, Mapping Prejudice has found about 2,400 property deeds with racial covenants in Ramsey County. About half are located in St. Paul.

and religious exclusivity was used.”

Goins, who is African American, lives just east of the Gardenette Park neighborhood.

He sent an email to neighbors after reading about the project assuring them the covenants are invalid.

“While the covenants are unenforceable because of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Shelley v. Kraemer way back in 1948, the fact they continued past that date offers evidence the ruling was negligently ignored or intentionally flouted,” Goins wrote.

A case in point: 1952 covenants in Gardenette Park plats.

Gardenette Park developer Gustav Axelrod (standing at the right with his brothers Max and Jay) was the son of Martin (Russian immigrants who settled in St. Paul) and Gertrude Axelrod (seated).

Prejudice released its findings, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution condemning discriminatory covenants. The board also voted to exempt property owners who choose to have the provision discharged from paying a $46 filing fee.

The action can be done in person or online at www. ramseycounty.us/property.

Click on “Discharging racial covenants,” under Records or call 651-266-2050.

“This is such a big deal,” observed Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt, before the board’s June 14 vote. “I think a lot of people are unaware of discriminatory covenants placed on titles and so many aspects of a person’s life. I’m happy to take this action and make a difference.”

Goins congratulated Reinhardt and fellow commissioners for the resolution, telling them, “Your action makes clear that bigotry and legal inequality are to be affirmatively eradicated in the state capital’s home county. The racial covenants reflect a not quite bygone era in America.”

Coincidentally, the first Gardenette Park plat to include a

racial covenant was June 1947, the same month and year Goins’ parents, N. Walter Jr. and Jean, married. They settled in the White Bear area on an acre of land given to them by Albert’s grandfather, Nathaniel W. Goins Sr. The elder Goins had saved tip money from a job as a freight clerk at St. Paul’s Union Depot to buy 40 acres with his brother Roy Goins on County Road D in 1943. The land remained in the family for more than 40 years.

Asked if he knew the Gardenette Park developer was Jewish, Goins replied, he didn’t.

“There’s a history of certain communities using restrictive covenants, particularly in Hennepin County, to keep people of color and certain ethnicities and religious groups from buying houses,” Goins said.

“The (2019) mapping project found 2,800 properties in Edina with racial covenants. They’ve had a legacy of segregation. As I understand it, many prosperous Jewish families gravitated to St. Louis Park because of the covenants.”

The second phase looks at the impact of propellor thrust on the lake bottom, including its impact on aquatic vegetation. “This research is important to ensure ecosystem health, said Jeff Marr, associate director of engineering and facilities at St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, “both nationally and internationally.”

Researchers are asking for $400,000 through a crowdfunding campaign to do the second study and have raised about half the money, according to White Bear Lake Director Scott Costello. The district gave a $2,000 grant last year for phase one. “I thought it was a very good use of our reserves,” he said. “It gave us an oar

in the water.”

• An amount of $25,000 to treat Eurasian watermilfoil. That amount includes a $7,500 DNR grant. Aquatics expert Steve McComas will survey hot spots for milfoil this week with Parenteau’s help. Treatment will occur sometime after July 4.

• Order for six shallow water buoys totaling $1,050.

• Heard the lake level June 21 was 923.97 feet. “That’s 1.5 inches lower than last month,” reported Parenteau, lake quality committee chair. “The lake is trickling down but it’s still in great shape,” he observed. Parenteau added that he’s not an expert but believes the drop is due to evaporation and wind.

Rainfall during June is also below normal.

• Heard that a representative from the Rice Creek Watershed District will present a summary on lake water quality at the board’s Aug. 16 meeting.

• Heard from Lake Utilization Committee Chair Mark Ganz, Mahtomedi, that a letter went out to 4711 Lake Ave. to remove one of five boats, as the number permitted was exceeded.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Boaters who want to report unlawful activity on the water can best reach the water patrol unit by calling 9-1-1.

That advice comes from Ramsey County Sgt. Mike Tombaga, who gave a short report June 21 to the Lake Conservation District board.

County 9-1-1 dispatchers are the quickest way to reach water patrol deputies, even if it’s not an emergency, Tombaga said. The unit keeps a boat for free at the VFW marina so response time is “really good.” There are typically two to three deputies on duty. The water unit’s six full-time people are responsible for 82 lakes, 23 of which offer recreational use, in addition to the Mississippi River. The station is located in Little Canada.

Dellwood board member Meredith Walburg asked Tombaga to watch for illegal bow riding and boaters who get too close to tubers and skiers. She also hears complaints about noise from pontoon parties and fishermen harassing wildlife. The sergeant said he would relay those concerns to the other deputies.

In other business at the June 21 meeting, directors approved or were informed of the following: • A 2023 budget amount of $93,170. The five municipalities around the lake will be assessed a total of $45,800, an amount “sub-

INTO NATURE’S JUDGE SPENCER MEAGHER IS A NATIONALLY–KNOWN PLEIN AIR ARTIST.

ARTISTS GATHER INSPIRATION FROM WHITE BEAR NATURE

L

ocal artists stepped outside for an immersive art experience during White Bear Center for the Arts’ third annual plein air competition, Into Nature.

Between June 11-19, artists of all ages were encouraged to select a location in the White Bear Area for their plein air paintings. Among the suggested locations were the gazebo at Matoska Park, Lions Park, Snail Lake Park, and the Tamarack Nature Center.

“It’s nice because there is no specific time that artists need to go out and paint.

They can just pick anytime during the competition’s time frame,” said Ellie Fuelling, Communications Director at White Bear Center for the Arts.

This flexible time frame was part of the event’s original appeal when it first began in 2020. Like many events in 2020, their organizers had to get a bit creative when it came

to planning Covid-safe activities. Into Nature became the perfect event to connect artists, all in a socially–distanced manner.

“It started as a way to get out and experience nature.

It really took off during 2020,” said Fuelling.

The Center for the Arts’ creative event planning paid off. Many artists who participated in 2020 wanted to continue into 2021 and beyond.

This year all plein air works had their chance to be displayed in WBCA’s Ford Family gallery until June 24.

Winners of the competition were selected by visiting Vermont artist, Spencer Meagher and were awarded cash prizes totalling $5,000.

A select number of artwork will be on display in the Exhibition Hall until August 25.

‘A BRIGHT SPOT’ WHITE BEAR LAKE GETS NEW MURAL

ou may have noticed there’s a new pop of color in Downtown White Bear Lake. On the side of Indulge Salon, White Bear Lake High School student Meg Peterson has created a mural that she hopes will pay homage to the tightly–knit community.

“It started as an NHS project, but it morphed into something that’s way more of a commitment than a service project,” said Peterson.

The mural is a mosaic style and naturally includes a white bear for the town, but depicts different elements of the seasons. Peterson chose to showcase sailing in the summer and native wildflowers to represent the springtime in the town.

Peterson and her crew of high school students began planning the project back in the fall of 2021 to make sure they adhered to the city’s regulations. They also set out finding a location for the mural.

The students decided to have Indulge Salon as the location for their public art.

Kim Schoonover, owner of Indulge Salon, has wanted to have a mural on her building for a while and was thrilled to know her wall was about to get a makeover.

“I just love it,” said Schoonover, “You can’t look at it without smiling.”

Schoonover feels that the mural is going to be a bright spot in downtown White Bear Lake. “ I love art and it’s so nice that people can enjoy free,

public art,” said Schoonover.

The students finally concluded their six–week painting process early this June, and Schoonover has planned a small celebration for the students and their families.

Peterson hopes the mural can be celebrated for years to come as a way to bring together the community.

“I want it to celebrate the diverse community coming together to be one White Bear,” said Peterson.

In the future Peterson hopes that other artists will paint murals around town. She has started to document everything she learned in the process of creating the mural so she can pass on that information to other artists.

“The big goal is that it won’t end here. I want other students to keep creating public art,” said Peterson. “ I would like to start some organization or a foundation to compile my for for people so we can get a bunch of murals in White Bear Lake.

I want people to see it in the future as a way to represent our community.”

With the excitement budding around this mural, Peterson hopes that White Bear Lake can become an even more colorful place to live.

addox Lee fondly remembers her very first role at Children’s Performing Arts. At seven years old, Lee played a ladybug.

The recent Lakes International Language Academy graduate is now gearing up to head to Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter this fall. Before she begins her college journey, she is reflecting on her acting journey.

Among Lee’s favorite roles are Mushu in “Mulan,” Sally in “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” and Grace Lamb in “Fame.”

“I really enjoyed Grace Lamb or ‘Lambchop’ because I’ve been doing competitive gymnastics and I was able to use some of my gymnastics skills in the role,” said Lee. Like her acting career, Lee’s gymnastics career began at an early age. At just two years old, Lee started taking gymnastics lessons, which has given her an unexpected edge in

her acting.

“There have only been maybe one or two shows where I didn’t use my gymnastics.

Being a gymnast helps with my dancing and really adds a wow factor,” said Lee. Just like her gymnastics skills have assisted her acting, her acting skills have propelled her confidence.

“It really helped me with public speaking,” said Lee. “I’m not afraid to speak in front of an audience and am able to think on the fly.”

Lee is part of the legacy program and has had a number of leadership roles, like becoming a junior director, which made her both a better actor and speaker.

Lee will round out her time with CPA in her role as Patty Simcocks in “Grease.”

As for what’s next, Lee will be on Gustavus’ gymnastics team and plans on auditioning for the school’s January production of “Spring Awakening.”

Non-native yellowtail iris was removed from the lake in 2020 but has been sighted again in Commercial Bay. The plant is an unwanted invasive.

To avoid confusion with the native variety, Parenteau said a skin test will do the trick. Sap from the invasive iris stings on the skin. The native plant doesn’t sting.

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Although only one plant has been spotted off Lions Park, the invasive yellowtail iris could be lurking in other areas.

“Now is the time to look for it as the flower blooms between May and July,” reminded Mike Parenteau, chair of the White Bear Lake Conservation District lake quality committee.

Not to be confused with the yellow iris, the yellowtail is invasive in shallow water. The non-native flower chokes out bulrushes and other native plants.

The district obtained a permit from the DNR and hired a company in 2020 to chemically treat about 25 plants in the water, at the advice of an aquatic species expert, but isn’t ready to repeat that this year. So far only one plant has been found in the lake.

Parenteau advises people who see the plant on their shoreline to take action to eradicate it. He suggested digging the plant up or covering it with black plastic. “It should be taken care of,” he emphasized. Plants on land are not in the district’s jurisdiction.

JUNE 29, 2022

Notable events have taken place July 4 Residents of the United States spend July 4th celebrating the country’s independence. Though July 4 has served as America’s Independence Day for centuries, many other significant and memorable events have taken place on the fourth day of July.

1744: The Treaty of Lancaster is signed in Pennsylvania. The treaty dictates that the Iroquois will cede land between the Allegheny Mountains and the Ohio River to the British colonies.

1776: The United States Declaration of

Independence is adopted by the Second Continental Congress. July 4 actually marks the day the final wording of the declaration, which had been submitted on July 2, was approved.

1802: The United States Military

Academy officially commences

operations. Located in West Point, New York, the USMA is the oldest of the five American service academies.

Massachusetts. His experiences there would later be detailed in “Walden Pond.”

1826: On the fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of the Independence, the second and third presidents of the United States, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, respectively, pass away. Both men were instrumental to American success during the American Revolution.

1913: President Woodrow Wilson addresses veterans of the American Civil War at a reunion marking the fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. More than 50,000 veterans of the war, including roughly 9,000 Confederate veterans, attend the reunion.

1831: Samuel Francis Smith’s “America (My Country, ‘Tis of Thee)” is performed in public for the first time. The performance took place during a children’s Independence Day celebration in Boston.

1939: New York Yankees first baseman Lou Gehrig announces his retirement to a crowd at Yankee Stadium, informing them he feels he is “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.”

Gehrig had recently been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease that would later be widely referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s disease.”

1845: Naturalist and essayist Henry David Thoreau moves into a cabin on Walden Pond in Concord,

1983: Twenty-four-year old New York Yankees left-hander Dave Righetti throws a no-hitter against the rival Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium.

Righetti struck seven of the first nine batters he faced and even overcame a delay in the eighth inning when umpire Steve Palermo suffered a knee injury.

Outspoken Yankees owner George Steinbrenner did not attend the game, as he was in Florida celebrating his 53rd birthday with family.

2004: The cornerstone of the Freedom Tower is laid on the World Trade Center site in New York City. Now known as One World Trade Center, the building formally opened in November 2014. TF227101

4th of July pet safety

RED, WHITE AND BLUE IN 2022

Animal Humane Society recommends tips for keeping your pet safe during summer celebrations As Minnesotans gear up to celebrate the Fourth of July in a couple of weeks, the Animal Humane Society (AHS) is reminding pet owners that many pets experience noise aversion or noise phobias, which can be triggered by fireworks and firecrackers.

Now’s the time to start preparing your pet for celebrations.

Here’s what pet owners can do to keep their pets safe: • Play recordings of firework sounds starting a few weeks before the Fourth of July. Start quietly and gradually turn up the volume while engaging your pet with treats and toys.

This helps build a positive association with the sound.

• Don’t take your pet

When: 10 a.m.-midnight Where: Lakeside Memorial Park, 95 E. Broadway

JUNE 29, 2022

FINANCIAL PLANNING There are several options regarding your 401(k)

TIPS:

While withdrawing your money is an option, in most circumstances, it means those funds will not be there when you need them in retirement. In addition, cashing out your 401(k) generally means you’ll have to pay taxes on the withdrawal, and there’s typically an additional 10% tax penalty if you’re younger than 59½, unless you left your employer in the calendar year you turned 55 or older.

If you own stock in former employer’s company and it has increased in value! you may be able to receive special tax treatment on these securities. This is referred to as net unrealized appreciation (NUA). A tax professional is suggested because NUA rules are complex.

The decision to roll over a 401(k) is dependent on your individual situation. A financial advisor will work with you to help identify your goals and determine what’s important to you. By understanding your investment personality, he or she will be able to advise if rolling over your 401(k) is the best option for you.

The benefits of rolling it over can help provide a consolidated view of all your retirement accounts. This holistic view can help you and your financial advisor make sure your investments are aligned to your risk tolerance and determine what’s best for you.

Fidelity suggests you know three things:

• Tax benefits: You won’t pay taxes on potential growth until you make withdrawals. And you can can move money from a former workplace to a rollover IRA without any taxes or penalties; • Access to your money: Withdrawals for certain expenses — first home purchase, birth, adoption or college costs — are penalty-free, but a 10 percent penalty could apply if the withdrawal is before age 59 1/2: • Flexibility: With a rollover IRA, you can generally choose from a wider range of investments.

Ben Wacek, a Twin Cities financial planner who founded Guide Financial Planning, says, “After retiring or switching jobs, the three main things that someone can do with their 401(k) from their previous employer are to keep it where it is, transfer it to their new employer’s 401(k), or transfer it to an IRA.“What the best option is for them will depend on a number of different factors, but most often transferring it to an IRA is the best option because it increases the number of investment options available and can often reduce the costs.”

Abe Winter can be reached by emailing news@presspubs.com or calling 651-407-1200.

• Join it. You can’t benefit if you don’t participate

• Let it grow

• Take the match

• Hands off until you retire

• Be well-rounded

• Look at long term

739059

Understanding your retirement plan options when you leave your employer or retire are important. If you’ve retired or changed jobs, you may have questions about whether to roll over your employer’s 401(k) retirement plan.

Edward Jones provides these four options for your old 401(k): • Option 1: Roll over the money to a Traditional or Roth IRA (Roll it) • Option 2: Leave the money in your former employer’s 401(k) plan (Leave it) • Option 3: Move the money to your new employer’s 401(k) plan (Move it) • Option 4: Cash out the 401(k) account, which is subject to tax consequences (Take it) Regarding the first option of rolling your 401(k) into an IRA, you can withdraw money from an IRA at age 59 1/2 and you must make withdrawals from a traditional IRA by age 72.

There are other benefits: the ability to add money to your IRA, a broader range of investment choices and an investment strategy based on personal needs and goals.

Leaving money in your current 401(k) may be an option, depending on the terms of your plan. Many additional factors, such as the option to add money and make certain investment choices, will also

depend on the terms of your plan. Here’s Edward Jones says you should know: Once you leave your employer, you generally won’t be able to add money to your plan and 401(k) plans typically have a more limited number of investment options compared to an IRA, but they may include investments you can’t get through an IRA. Fees for a 401(k) may be less than that of an IRA. You are advised to contact your plan administrator to find out about fees and terms of your plan.

Moving money to your new employer’s 401(k) may be an option. That is depending on whether your current employer has a 401(k) plan and the terms of the plan. Like your former employer’s plan, many factors ultimately depend on the terms of your plan, but you should keep the following mind: You’ll generally be able to add money to your new employer’s plan as long as you meet the plan’s requirements. This option also allows you to consolidate your retirement accounts, which may make it easier to monitor your investments and simplify your account information at tax time.

401(k) plans typically have a more limited number of investment options compared to an IRA, but they may include investments you can’t get through an IRA.

Construction coming along at White Bear schools

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

A number of construction projects continue to make progress at a number of schools in the White Bear Lake Area School District.

“There's a lot of work going on at North Star Elementary,” AJ Lillesve, of Kraus Anderson Construction said.

“On the outside they got a lot of turf seeding, irrigation, and final grading ready for landscaping.

And everybody's favorite road project there on (Highway) 61. The last thing they'll be touching up is the road and final lift of the asphalt and stripping.”

Lillesve said ceiling tiles are being placed in the cafeteria and the kitchen equipment is nearly complete.

According to Lillisve, construction at White Bear Lake High School is also busy right now.

“The stadium is get-

ting turf down out there right now and once they wrap with that, they'll do their final lift around the track,” Lillesve said.

“Twenty-eight days after that, they'll start putting down the actual track material.”

Also happening is the final grading for the west fields and new tennis courts. Lillesve said the turf for the eureka fields will probably begin in the fall.

At Otter Lake Elementary School, construction started at the learning commons beginning with the ceilings and the walls.

According to Lillesve, the roof is complete for a classroom pod addition at Birch Lake Elementary School. “The windows are in and they're fully weather tight so that's another fun milestone,” he said.

Lillesve also noted that workers are ready to paint once the mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) is

finished in the Media Center.

At Lakeaires Elementary School, all the MEP is being installed in classrooms and the media center.

“Interior wall framing will be going in and the exterior cast stone is going in on the outside,” Lillesve said. “Coming up is exterior bricks ceiling and renovations on the inside.”

Lillesve noted that construction of five additional classrooms, updated classrooms and media center will begin at Oneka Elementary School on Sept. 12 and be completed in August 2023.

OBITUARIES

Emily Marie Just-Fleck

Emily “Emmy” Marie Just-Fleck, Age 60, of Mahtomedi, MN, peacefully took her last breath lovingly surrounded by family, her best friend, and her beloved kitties on Sunday, January 30, 2022, after a 7 year battle with early-onset Dementia.

Emily was born on July 8, 1961, in Minneapolis, MN. She was the secondyoungest of 11 children, and grew up near the shores of White Bear Lake in the small city of Birchwood Village with her life-long friends, Colleen and Claudia Jefferson, and Nancy Maas. She graduated from White Bear Lake Mariner High School in 1979, and then on June 28, 1982, she married Randy Sorenson and they had 3 children, Nicole Marie, Jordan James, and Shelby May. In 1993, with 3 kids at home, Emily made the decision to go back to night-school, and completed her Nursing degree in the Spring of 1997.

Emily was beyond proud of becoming a Registered Nurse - not only because she was able to show her children that success comes from working hard, but also because she was able to turn her love for helping people into a rewarding career. On December 31, 2002, Emily married her soulmate, Daryle Just, and welcomed his 3 children into her family. Emily and Daryle were inseparable from that moment on.

Emily was a lifelong lover of animals, and that trend carried through until her very last breath. She began rescuing animals at a very young age. Dogs, cats, ferrets, rats, bunnies, birds - the list goes on and on. Emily loved them all and this was obvious to anyone that met her throughout her life.

Emily is preceded in death by her mother, Helen McKenna Fleck; her father, George Jackson Fleck; her brothers Gayl James and Dennis Charles; her nephews Brice Spinarski and Chevas Guertin; and her niece Kassey Fleck.

Emily is survived by her husband Daryle ”Bubby” Just-Fleck; her children Coley “Coleybear” (Adam) Wogsland, Jordan “Jordo” (Bree) Sorenson, and Shelby “Miss Bee” Sorenson; her granddaughter Quinn Marie; her step-children Joshua, Julia, and Victor; her step-granddaughters Mira and Melinda; her siblings Laura Fleck, Elena Carrel, Alma (Mike) Bergmann, Kenneth Fleck, Martha (Tim) Halverson, Nathaniel (Victoria) Fleck, Margaret (Joe) Guertin, and Jonathan (Susan) Fleck; her many nieces and nephews; and her beloved rescue-kittens Patsy, Douglas, Timothy, Fussy, and Bogey.

Please help us to always remember Emily by taking a moment to think of her each time you wear purple, drink a Pepsi, eat fettuccine alfredo, rescue an animal, plant flowers, or sit out in the warm summer sun.

A celebration of life is planned for Emily on Friday, July 8th, 2022 (Emily’s Birthday) at Katherine Abbott Park in Mahtomedi, MN that will be open-house style from 4pm-8pm with a special program starting at 6pm.

We invite everyone to wear their favorite shades of purple, in memory of Em.

School Board member Kathleen Daniels said she took a tour at North Star Elementary School.

“It was pretty amazing and really fun to see what's happening up there,” she said. “I can't wait to see some of the other projects.”

Private school breathes new life into Withrow Elementary building to start as the elementary school and then continue to grow our Liberty family out in that area. That’s really exciting for us.”

The building will house the private school’s pre-K through second grade students. Third grade up to twelfth grade will remain at the White Bear location for now. “The hope is that eventually the whole campus will be out there. This is the beginning,” Headmaster Rebekah Hagstrom said.

“We are really excited that we are able to take an abandoned building that has left that community and reinvigorate it with families, kids and classrooms instead of just an empty space,” Trainer said.

When the school began in 2003, it had 28 students.

This year, Liberty is expected to have 400 students in K-12.

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR

HUGO — Liberty Classical Academy will construct an approximately 2,000-square-foot addition to the former Withrow Elementary School in Hugo.

The former school, located at 10158 122nd St. N, was a part of the Stillwater School District before it closed its doors in 2018. The building sat vacant until Liberty Classical Academy, which currently leases space at the Church of St. Pius X in White Bear Lake, purchased the property.

Plans for the school include the construction of an approximately 1,800-square-foot canopy for the main entrance of the school, as well as the addition of 35 parking spaces to the parking lot on the east side of the building.

Morgan Traynor, a parent of a Liberty Classical Academy student, said, “The opportunity we have to move Liberty Classical Academy into Hugo and onto this property means that we have the opportunity

81° 62º 70% 1.22 “

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com We got off to a noisy start to the severe weather season but June has been a relatively quiet and dry month. Our best chance for rain was on Saturday as central, northern and southern Minnesota received some nice rainfall totals. By the time the weather system reached the Metro, all that was left was spotty showers. Our intense heat of the previous week was followed by cooler and drier air. Thank you Canada! The biggest complaint I still hear is the strong winds. While great for sailing, it makes for rough waters for pleasure boating, kayaking and boarding.

Hopefully winds will ease in the coming weeks. Have a great 4th!

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

CLARIFICATION The story “From steaks to stakes at former Lakeside Club site” published in the June 15 edition of the White Bear Press reported the wrong figures for square

19

footage of the proposed building.

The 30,000-square-foot footprint is smaller than the senior co-op that was proposed on the site in 2014 when the site was rezoned, a

developer’s representative said.

The total area of individual units will vary, ranging from 718 square feet to 1,473 square feet.

Calla Frank, junior from White Bear Lake, was the starting goalie for Minnesota State (Mankato) women’s hockey this past season. Frank had a 3.45 goals-against-average, .892 save percentage, and a 10-15 record. She has started 58 games in three seasons.

Greta Schimnowski of Mahtomedi was a named Wildcat Basketball Rookie of the Year at St. Catherine University.

The freshman guard was third on the team for field goals made (60) for a season percentage of .390. She was first on the team for three-pointers with 43 made, including 7 in one game which ranks second in the program's history. She scored a 172 points, collected 52 rebounds and had 21 assists.

Tony Neubeck, freshman from Mahtomedi on the University of Missouri baseball team, pitched in 15 games, nine as a starter. The 6-foot-2, 240-pound left-hander had a 3-3 record and 5.63 ERA in 54.3 innings with 60 strikeouts.

Sarah Stellmach, Bethel University track sophomore sprinter from Mahtomedi, ran on a 4x400 relay that reached the Division III nationals and placed eighth. In the MIAC meet, Stellmach placed third in preliminaries both the 100 and 200 with times of 12.68 and 25.74 seconds but could not run in the finals due to an injury.

In the MiAC indoor meet in February, she placed third in both the 55 (7.39 seconds) and 200 (26.23) sprints, and was part of the winning 4x200 relay (1:45.44).

Ramsey County Commissioner Nicole Frethem recently graduated from Mitchell Hamline School of Law. She had just finished her first year when she ran for the Board of Commissioners in the 2019 special election. She won a full term in 2020.

Frethem represents District 1, which includes Arden Hills, Gem Lake, North Oaks, Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, White Bear Township, and parts of Mounds View, Spring Lake Park and Blaine.

Such thing as too much wind

Race night was cancelled June 20 due to a combination of high heat and wind gusts. The previous week had its share of mishaps too, due to wind.

Of eight A-boats competing in last week’s back-to-back races, two failed to finish.

“There were good winds for the race (June 13) — so good that two boats

tipped over,” said Gene Altstatt, owner of one of the boats.

Steve Johnson and his crew in W7 flipped in the first race and Tim Carlson and his crew in W2 (Altstatt’s The Robinson) flipped in the second. Luckily, Altstatt was watching the races in his power boat with Bev and Fletcher Driscoll and assisted in righting them

with Fletcher’s coaching.

There was no serious damage to either boat. Taking first in both races was W25 (“Euphoria”) skippered by Lee Alnes of Birchwood. Skipper Greg Nuss placed second in W-9 in both races and skipper Larry Pardee took third in W88.

Alnes also competed in the 2022
