‘Grandpa’ tree reaches end of long life

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Good old-fashioned competition Geneva McNamara-Drui loses her star spangled glasses as she hops ahead of the competition during a children’s potato sack race Thursday, July 4 in Birchwood Village. The old-fashioned games of skill followed the Independence Day Parade, which has been an annual tradition in the community for more than 60 years.

Calling the towering sentinel in her front yard the “Grandpa” tree, a Gem Lake woman said goodbye last week to the ancient landmark. It has stood on the property for almost 200 years.

“Sadly, Timberline Tree said it could not be saved,” said Gretchen Artig-Swomley. “The tree is so big it has to come down over the course of two days. They are thinking SUBMITTED they need to bring anoth- The enormous silver maple in Gretcher crane.” en Artig-Swomley’s Gem Lake front The gargantuan silver yard dwarfs her house. maple has a circumference of more than 17 feet.

“That means it is about 194 years old, or from about the year 1825,” according to Artig-Swomley.

The abstract of title for her Gem Lake property dates back to 1854 when the land was part of a 200-acre parcel used mostly for farming. It changed hands about a dozen times and was whittled away through the years through many transfers, sales and auctions, several for back taxes, to its present size of 18 acres, upon which the original house, built in 1896, and big tree sit. One of the owners in the ’20s was Gokey Thompson, who went on to found Gokey's Sporting Goods.

“Somewhere along the line the property was named Fairweather Farm, but no one seems to know where it got that name,” noted Artig-Swomley. “There was a stable on the property that partially collapsed years ago. No one knows who planted this tree.

Pull-tab pie: everyone wants a piece

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — Members of the Kramer-Berg American Legion Post 507 are worried about their future.

Their revenue stream is shrinking as other charitable gambling groups displace them in the pull-tab booth.

The new owner of the Dugout is going with Mahtomedi's youth hockey associa-

tion for its pull tabs, as did Quinny's.

“It was a double whammy,” said Gene Altstatt, Legion adjutant and a retired major in the Army Reserves. He figures the Post is down 60 to 70% with the loss of those bars.

“We used to have about $200,000 to give away,” according to Altstatt. “We lost half of that when Jethro's sold to new owners, and I think hockey is knocking on Chris Cosgrove's door, too.”

Mediterranean recipes time travel through 6 generations IF YOU GO:

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Chef Gianna Ianos promises answers to what she calls the biggest question asked every day: “What's for dinner?”

Those answers, says the White Bear Township food lover, are found in her set of two self-published recipe books. Book No. 1 is “Mediterranean Diet,” a compilation of Greek and Italian family recipes going back six generations.

The second book, “What's My Dinner?” is where she makes that promise.

Ianos wants to bring family members back to the dinner table and she's hoping her recipes, “described as simple and delicious,” will help.

“These books are so much more than family recipes,” Ianos pointed out. “I want to make people aware that cooking can be easy and rewarding. Eating can be a family affair fi lled with fun and conversation. We need to reconnect around our tables and bring the word family back to where it all began — America's dinner table.”

Born in Jersey City, Ianos moved to Minnesota as a teen but still boasts an Eastern accent. Both her parents were chefs and she learned to cook from them, as well as from grandparents, and eventually started her own catering business.

The recipes in her books were never written down, nor were ingredients measured out. It has taken Ianos 15 years to compile the books, carefully preparing every dish and tweaking amounts until

she felt they tasted like the cooks before her meant them to taste.

“I am the last living family member who can offer these delicious and healthy recipes,” Ianos said. “I was worried they would be lost.”

Each recipe is planned around good and nutritious foods, she added. “They are easy to make and follow using everyday ingredients.”

Good food is timeless maintained the chef and caterer, who uses Diva Dish Kitchens as her company label.

“The recipes are uncomplicated and have stood the test of time,”

Ianos emphasized. “Those who love food like I do can either make these meals a big production or not; they can go either way. We should enjoy the simple joys of eating a good meal each and every day.”

When asked to share a favorite recipe, Ianos chose her Blue Cheese Spread & Dip, “a comfort food to my family. This recipe was my mother's, which she learned from other cooks. She was just beginning married life and her own cooking career. It is not only good on artisan breads, but as a dip for apples, meats and other combination plates

Promise may come true: Dahlia road work on agenda

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — As storm waters rise, so does the ire of residents on Dahlia Street, who are wondering when the city will fi x drainage issues on their street.

City Engineer John Sachi said at the July 2 City Council meeting that work on CSAH 12 (Stillwater Road) might fi nish up early, leaving time in 2020 for the city to move up work on the Dahlia Street project it had scheduled for 2021.

Sachi said that the city's plans to work on Dahlia had been stalled since 2017 due to the difficulty in obtaining easements to replace the water system on the south side of the street.

Dahlia Street resident Angela Strantz, who brought up the whole topic during the public comment portion of the meeting, begged to differ.

“When I fi rst bought my house in 2000, the disclaimers made included information that we should expect

to be assessed for road improvements within the next year, so the statement that (the delay) has been going on since 2017 is inaccurate,” Strantz said.

She urged the city not to delay long overdue repairs. “My husband, once again, was pumping water out of the street,” she said. “Water covered the street from side to side.”

Sachi agreed that water almost completely enveloped Dahlia Street after the latest round of storms.

The city has a busy slate of roadwork scheduled for 2020, but the Dahlia Street project could be a stand-alone project as it is a mutual state aid road, Sachi said. “WSB would prepare an updated feasibility report to be submitted to council within five months, we could call for a public hearing, have a vote and plan for it to be ready to go for construction season 2020,” he said.

Sachi noted that the city received little cooperation from the four residents on the south side of Dahlia Street to contribute land for an easement. He said the city had sent out

City allows overnight construction work MAHTOMEDI — In a move to relieve the burden of construction on downtown businesses, City Council approved an ordinance amending City Code Chapter 12, Section 12.06, Subdivision 5, J., relating to the prohibition of commercial activity during certain times.

The county's contractor for the County Road 12 project requested an extension to construction hours beyond those authorized by city code. By extending the construction hours, the contractor hopes to minimize disruption to businesses and residents. The contractor requested permission to work from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. for five nights during the duration of the project to keep intersections open during day and closed at night, City Administrator Scott Neilson said.

Water connections will be completed in the middle of the night to provide the least disruption to businesses rather than shutting water off or closing intersections during the day. Contractors will also be given permission to begin work one hour earlier on Saturdays, at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. Businesses and residents in the area will be informed when construction work will be taking place during the normal off hours.

letters and received little response.

Strantz said that she took umbrage at the statement that the city had contacted all the residents in the neighborhood and said that she had heard a different version of that story. “I talked to several people, and the neighbor with the pond has categorically denied receiving a letter from the city about road work and easements and so have others.

I was supposed to receive a letter from the city, which I never did,” she stated.

Councilman Jeff Ledermann wondered whether city staff had tried to reach out to residents to look at the easements as well as different options. Have residents been in conversations about the problem, he wondered?

Sachi said that if the city had the necessary easements to correct the ponding, the project would be less expensive. If, however, the city were to route stormwater down Warner Road to Wood Street and into the pond at Glendale Park, it would add some $180,000 to $200,000 in extra

cost to the project and take a much longer time to complete. All the city needs is one or two people not to cooperate about the easement to fi nd itself in that situation, he noted.

Council members expressed the desire to move ahead and have city engineers prepare the documentation for the project. Ledermann said he agreed that the city needed to look at putting Dahlia Street on the list of future projects and called for city staff to make additional connections and communicate with the residents. “We need a neighborhood meeting before we plow ahead, and we need to make every attempt to explore the easement option,” he said.

“We need to make sure everyone in the neighborhood is (at the neighborhood meeting) to hear and voice their responses,” Councilman Tim Deans said. “I'm not against the project, but I want to make sure the neighborhood supports it.”

MAHTOMEDI CITY COUNCIL NOTES MAHTOMEDI — City Council took the following action at its July 2 meeting: • Awarded a contract to Slack Construction to power wash, spot repair and apply a total overcoat to the water tower by the high school for $39,500, with the understanding that city staff keep council apprised as to the project's progress.

The original estimate to do the paint repair work for the peeling paint was from $52,000 to $75,000. The city received three bids, which ranged widely. City Engineer John Sachi reassured the public that the Zephyr emblem would not be wiped out. The tower was last painted around 2009, with a paint life expectancy of 15 to 20 years, Sachi said. The interior paint can last up to 30 years.

• After a presentation by Finance Director Scott Schaefer, discussed fund balance transfers for 2018. The city created the fund balance policy a few years ago, Schaefer said, and each year city staff provides council the fund balance transfers as an information item, as required.

For example, almost $2.5 million will have been transferred into the street improvement fund from 2013-2018 to take care of mill and overlay projects. The 2018 fund balance was about $6.23 million, Schaefer said.

• Released Lot 1, Block 1 of the Macartney Estates from its development agreement with the city of Mahtomedi. Every time someone develops land, there is a development agreement,

the purpose of which is to give the city a letter of credit — a fi nancial mechanism in case the development is half built or the developer goes under, City Attorney Jay Karlovich said. But when the development is done and the houses have been built and all utilities are in, the development contract is no longer needed. Future owners of the property on that development may no longer want that document in the chain of title (sequence of historical transfers of title to a property) and ask for it to be released. The development in question is by White Bear Lake, has around six homes on it and was completed in 1990.

• Approved the fi refi ghter housing lease agreement with a paid, on-call fi refi ghter for the lower duplex unit at 196 Hallam Ave. • Scheduled a work session for July 16 at 5:30 p.m. to discuss the gambling ordinance.

• Adjourned to a closed session as allowed by Minnesota Statues, Section 13D.05, Subd. 3(b) for an attorney-client privileged discussion of Monroe/Froeming v. City of Mahtomedi (Washington County District Court File No. 82-CV18-2519) involving property addressed as 127 Dartmoor Road, Mahtomedi.

The council next meets at 7 p.m. Tuesday, July 16, at City Hall, 600 Stillwater Road.

Bad news

ike most people, I don’t like bad news.

As Press Publications’ public safety reporter for northern Ramsey County, it is my job to report a fair amount of bad news.

(However, contrary to popular belief, I am not the reporter who wrote the funny sheriff’s reports.

Crime isn’t funny to me.)

I’ve had people tell me to stop reporting bad news; they don’t want to hear that it is happening in their quaint, lovely suburb. But let me try to explain why reporting bad news can be good for the community.

The point of reporting on crime, accidents and other bad news is not to shame those caught or make readers feel like their community is in trouble. The point is to educate and remind people of the consequences of crime and carelessness. Everyone Story makes unwise choices at one time or another. Reporting on them Chaser prevents more bad news from Sara Marie Moore happening.

Imagine growing up in a community where crime and accidents are reported in the local newspaper.

You hear your parents talking about it at the breakfast table. As you are learning to drive, you learn how devastating speeding, texting and driving, or drunk driving can be. This isn’t just a theory in class anymore or something on TV. Someone down the street is affected. You drive more carefully.

Theft, drugs, trafficking, assault and murder: What if local newspapers didn’t acknowledge it?

We’d live in a community in denial while crime and corruption grew steadily in the dark.

I understand that hearing and seeing bad news can be tiring and cause people to respond in fear.

However, I would like to remind you that bad news makes headlines when it is not an everyday occurrence. People don’t get murdered every week in your town. Youth don’t die on the way to school every week. If they did, it would cease to make headlines. That would be really bad news.

My fi rst reporter job was in Williston, North Dakota during the oil boom six years ago. All the media outlets in the country seemed interested in the black gold rush. It seemed that the further away the media outlets came from, the more dramatic the news became. There was a lot of good news in Williston. There was also some really bad news. Those who read the Williston Daily Herald knew that the good news outweighed the bad.

Local newspapers offer a more realistic picture of the extent of bad news than metro and national broadcast media, radio or newspapers. Because they cover a larger area, it can seem the bad news just goes on and on. If you’re overwhelmed at the news, I suggest you tune in to your local newspaper.

When you engage with the news locally, it is easier to respond to the most important purpose behind reporting bad news — to care about those affected. I am not sure if it is humanly possible to consume the amount of bad news on social media and on TV and have the correct response. Most people feel overwhelmed or want to tune it out.

There’s this thing called compassion fatigue.

But good news outweighs the bad on a local scale. Local bad news is also easier to digest.

When you see that someone a few blocks away went through a fi re, you can donate some essentials. When you hear that a local spa was shut down due to sex trafficking, you can join an action group. When someone dies in a tragic accident, you can reach out with condolences.

Bad news can make a community a better place to live, work and play.

Butterfly milkweed essential garden plant

M

ost people like pollinators such as butterflies and bees, and many also want to support monarch butterflies. Most people also like pretty flowers and many prefer them on native plants. Here is one way to combine all these attributes in one plant.

Butterfly milkweed, scientific name Asclepias tuberosa, is also known as butterfly weed.

It produces copious nectar.

It is a perennial pollinator plant, attracts hummingbirds and is a host plant for Gardener’s monarch y Grapevine butterfl caterpillars.

It is a native Lynda Ellis Minnesota plant.

Native Americans used fibers from the dried stems to make ropes and weave into cloth. Many tribes used parts of it as food. In colonial America, dried leaves of butterfly milkweed and skunk cabbage were made into a tea to treat chest complaints; this gave butterfly milkweed the alternate

name “pleurisy root.”

Butterfly milkweed does not transplant well because it has a deep woody taproot. It can be divided by using a sharp knife to slice down the length of the taproot. Every piece that has at least one eye, some of the taproot and a few side roots is a viable division. This long taproot means that it is tolerant of dry conditions. But it also can handle moisture; I have it on the high sides of my rain garden.

It has the usual milkweed pods and it is easily propagated from the seeds in these pods. Collect them as the pods just begin to open. It is best to plant the seeds in autumn, to germinate the following spring. They will flower in year three. Note that mature plants may freely selfseed in the landscape if seed pods are not removed prior to them opening. These pods could be given to friends who want them.

It is an essential garden plant because of its large, flat-topped clusters of bright orange flowers at the top of flowering stems.

Though it is a milkweed, it has a watery, not milky sap. This means it can be used for cut flowers. Its leaves are green and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Venburg Tire will be missed

I was sorry to learn the fate of Venburg Tire in the White Bear Press recently. For the past 23 years I have been a happy customer of this local business. I was introduced to this company and its employees through a White Bear Lake Rotary Club auction. I won a four-wheel alignment in the silent auction that Venburg had donated. It was clear to me through the years that this company understood what it meant to be a contributing member of the community it lived in.

Throughout the years I felt like the team at Venburg Tire had my best interests in mind as they educated me on simple to complex car maintenance issues. No question I presented was too basic, and they were oftentimes talking me out of costly service when appropriate.

Through the years I know I spent thousands on tires, brakes and service as I am a bit aggressive when it comes to tire wear and tear. However, I knew that the team would be in my corner helping me fi nd the quality products I wanted in a cost-efficient manner paired with industry-leading customer service.

To all of the current and past team members of Venburg Tire, I will miss your knowledge, friendship and commitment to excellence.

White Bear has lost a gem

White Bear has lost a gem with the passing of Alex Bjorklund.

I have known Alex since I was a young man. Each year Alex would have a Flag Day party, or a Christmas party, and her guests were of all ages. Alex entertained people she cared about — young and old.

Her family was most important, but the community of White Bear was very near and dear. Alex supported many local projects. She asked good questions and, when satisfied with answers, was very generous to a fault. Alex was caring, thoughtful and fi rm. She was always interested, nurturing and supportive of many different things I was involved in. Thank you for all you have done for me and so many in your low-key lifestyle.

Alex, I treasured our friendship.

You have been an inspiration. I appreciate all you have done for our wonderful, greater White Bear Community. White Bear has been blessed with you and your authentic care and generosity.

Alex, you will be missed but your legacy lives on.

Organizations in Haiti that make a difference

My story was published in the June 26 edition of the White Bear Press (“Elementary students learn how they can make a difference in Haiti”). I appreciate the recognition that was given to several organizations that are making a difference in the lives of many families throughout the world. I thought readers would be interested in learning more.

Many work behind scenes to make celebration a success

The fi reworks Thursday night marked the end of another successful Manitou Days in White Bear Lake. The celebration started with MarketFest on June 13, which will continue every Thursday evening through July 25. The Friday night Manitou Days Grande Parade, among the best parades in the state, brought thousands to downtown White Bear Lake.

Manitou Days, like all the festivals and events in White Bear Lake and neighboring communities, doesn't just happen. There are many, many people who spend hours planning and preparing.

When the actual time arrives for the event, those same people, along with many other volunteers, put those plans into action, which

makes Manitou Day such a special time.

This year's theme was '”Bears That Shine'.” There were 22 '”Bears'” chosen, one for each day of Manitou Days, from over 40 nominations. There are many more '”Shining Bears'” who were not chosen, partly because they were on the Manitou Days committee.

Some who need to be recognized for their key roles in making Manitou Days such a great success include Dale Grambush, chair of Manitou Days 2019 and 2020; Lisa Beecroft, director of MarketFest; Pat Oven, founder and director of the Classic Boat Show; and Paul Carlson, Ken Peterson and Bianca Fucini, who make sure the parade happens.

Special thanks to Rick Juba, assistant city manager, the White Bear Lake Police Department and Public Works for their extra efforts. And fi nally, recognition of Press Publications. Carter Johnson, publisher; Debra Neutkens, editor; and their entire staff do a great job of covering events like Manitou Days before, during and after they occur.

The Manitou/MarketFest tab that was delivered in ALL of their papers was done extremely well.

We are fortunate to live in an area that puts so much value on “Community.”

Vadnais Heights • Theft of cell phone valued over $1,000 was reported in the 800 block of County Road E June 23. The phone went missing while its owner was in the electronics/toy area of the store. The phone was located in Maplewood via a tracking app. A deputy was able to retrieve the phone and return it to the owner.

• Theft of a trolling motor and fi shing equipment from a boat stored at a rental storage facility in the 3200 block of Highway 61 was reported June 24. It was a $4,600 loss. It is not known when the theft occurred.

The motorist told deputies she thought she was traveling at 30 mph in a 30 mph zone. Later, the motorist tracked down deputies and advised them that she had to speed up to get around a pair of bikers. Deputies advised her to make a court date to haggle over that point.

• A Birchwood Village woman, 26, was issued a verbal warning June 19 in the 300 block of Wildwood Avenue for failing to stop at a stop sign, following a request for extra patrol for stop sign violations and driving around barricades.

JULY 10, 2019

canceled, deputies provided him with ways he could prove it. A valid driver was summoned to pick him up, and his vehicle was left at the side of the road.

Grant • An unidentified juvenile was arrested at 1:18 a.m. June 19 on McKusick Road N. and Dellwood Road N. for six different moving violations, two of which were felonious, following a pursuit relating to a fresh burglary in Hugo.

The suspect drove through multiple residential properties, damaging his vehicle as well as the properties.

The driver displayed erratic behavior and made an evasive right turn onto a side road without signaling. A traffic stop was attempted, but the vehicle did not stop, driving on the shoulder and occupying the center of a two-lane roadway.

When deputies activated lights and sirens, the suspect vehicle reached speeds of 90 mph and greater, turned off all exterior lights and ran a stop sign until fi nally coming to a wheels-up rest after hitting an Xcel Energy vehicle. Both vehicles rolled over, and the suspect vehicle caught fi re. The drivers of both vehicles were transported to the hospital.

• Theft of license plates was reported near Fanum Road and Buerkle Road June 28.

The vehicle was parked over the weekend while in for repair.

• A Mahtomedi man, 69, was issued a verbal warning June 19 in the 600 block of Hall Avenue for failing to stop at a stop sign following a request for extra patrol for stop sign violation.

Five other motorists were pulled over at the same location that week for the same offense.

Deputies fi rst noticed the vehicle blowing the stop sign, then observed the tabs that had expired in April. The motorist told deputies that he had just purchased the vehicle 10 days earlier. While deputies were attempting to verify the driver's statements on their computer, they discovered his revoked status. Due to the insurance violation and expired tabs, the vehicle was towed. Traffic stops were conducted on three other motorists that same week at that location due to detour traffic through Birchwood.

• A North Branch man, 36, was arrested on an Isanti County warrant June 21 at the Cedar Ridge facility in the 11000 block of Julianne Avenue N. following two unsuccessful warrant service attempts earlier that day. En route to the scene, deputies were advised that the subject had set off a fi re extinguisher and had inhaled some of the powder inside. Officials at the Washington County jail refused to take the subject due to the fi re extinguisher inhalation, and a meeting was set up in Forest Lake for Isanti County to pick up the subject.

Dellwood

Yellowish smoke from Water Gremlin likely firefighting powder WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A fi re occurred at Water Gremlin Company, a fishing tackle manufacturer, Friday evening, June 28.

“There was a fi re in some ductwork and one of their vapor collection units,” reported White Bear Lake Fire Department Chief Greg Peterson. “No one was hurt.”

The fi re department responded to the call about 6:45 p.m. It took a couple of hours to quell the fi re and assess the damage.

Neighbor Linda Guanzini said she saw yellow-gray smoke spewing from the manufacturing facility that evening. She said she was concerned about the color of the smoke in light of Water Gremlin's recent release of a pollutant into the air through its manufacturing process. The company no longer uses the solvent.

The fi re department used dry chemical extinguishers to extinguish the

fi re. “It was a smoldering fi re that was difficult to put out due to its location and the potential dangers of using water in that area of the plant,” Peterson explained. “The yellow color that they saw was most likely the dry chemical powder from the fi re extinguishers being extracted by the ventilation system.”

The fi re was isolated to the company's casting operations area, reported Water Gremlin spokesman Chris Duffy.

“The company’s trained response team took immediate action to extinguish the fi re and all employees were evacuated to ensure their safety,” he stated. “No one was hurt, and the damage was minimal. We appreciate the support of the White Bear Lake Fire Department in extinguishing the fi re.”

Ramsey County Attorney’s Office adds facility dog The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office (RCAO) has joined the growing ranks of prosecutors’ offices across the country to employ the services of specially trained facility dogs whose sole purpose is to provide quiet companionship to adults and children who are victims of and witnesses to crime.

Norie, a 2-year-old purebred golden retriever, received comprehensive training from Helping Paws Inc. of Hopkins, which is accredited by Assistance Dogs International. She lives and works with RCAO handler Bill Kubes, a victim/witness advocate.

“Crime victims, especially children, are often under unimaginable stress,” said Ramsey County Attorney John Choi.

“Participating in the adversarial court process can come at a high cost, and this program will make that process better for those who need the services of Norie.”

Once a case has been charged by the county attorney, both victims and witnesses are offered the services of the RCAO Victim/Witness Division. Through work with the Minnesota Alliance on Crime, which helped develop the protocol, the RCAO determined in 2014 that a facility dog could greatly assist its work.

Unlike service dogs who are trained to assist one individual, facility dogs can work with more than one handler.

“Norie is a highly trained facility dog with one primary purpose — putting victims of and witnesses to crime at ease so that they can better participate in the prosecution process and ease the natural tension that comes with a highly traumatic experience,” said RCAO Victim/ Witness Division Director Tami McCon-

key. “The return on this investment is immeasurable.”

The RCAO will spend approximately $8,000 a year for the care, feeding, ongoing training and related costs of supporting a working facility dog. Nationally, 13 courthouses across the country have at least one assistance dog, including the Hennepin County Juvenile Justice Center. Nearly 60 prosecutors’ offices and a handful of public defenders’ offices have at least one dog on site to provide similar services. Due to the generosity of Helping Paws, there were no initial costs to obtain Norie.

“We felt that Norie’s skill set and temperament matched perfectly with the work and staff at the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office,” said Sue Kliewer, client services coordinator and instructor for Helping Paws. “We make sure that each of our trained dogs maintains certification for as long as they are placed at an agency.”

‘GRANDPA’ TREE: Silver maple planted around 1825 on a Gem Lake Farm FROM PAGE 1A

“When we moved into our home in 1998, one of the most striking features about the place was the enormous silver maple tree in the front yard. It was more than double the height of the house, towering about 75 feet in the air or more.

“We have lovingly cared for this tree for 21 years; having it trimmed and pruned to keep it balanced and happy every couple of years,” said Artig-Swomley. “The tree company says it is the largest and most spectacular tree they care for and possibly the largest in the White Bear area.”

Regretfully, the tree was damaged in a 2015 storm and was starting to show its age, she said.

Artig-Swomley, who sits on Gem Lake's City Council, wanted to reach out to the Press as the tree neared the end of its natural life. A huge limb crashed down on the corner of her house on June 4, causing significant damage. Timberline experts climbed the tree to determine its overall health and the news was not good. It could not be saved.

“I have always felt this tree has a soul and has sheltered our house,” she said. “I think this limb coming down may have been a blessing. Perhaps the tree was trying to tell us it can't keep standing much longer. The limb that came down was the size of a large tree and put a 2-foot hole in our brick sidewalk, as well as taking out a bit of our roof.

We realize the tree, without meaning to, has become a menace to our safety.”

She is very sad about cutting the tree down, added the councilwoman. “I cannot imagine this place without our Grandpa tree. I feel like I'm losing a member of the family.”

SUBMITTED

This photo is from about 1927. The middle tree—the large one—is the only one of the three silver maples that still exist. Lightning took the other two trees in the 1940s.

A 100-foot crane was used July 2 to start bringing the Grandpa tree down.

A large limb broke off last month and hit the house. Built in 1896, the farmhouse has been added onto many times. The tree predates it.

‘This little car seat went to the clinic’

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

After their baby has arrived, many new parents bring their bundle of joy out of the hospital to their vehicle and struggle with attaching their car seat securely.

So goes the story of Jury Graeme, a security staff member at St. Croix Regional Medical Center, who was assisting expectant parents with car seat safety at a Car Seat Clinic in Vadnais Heights June 27. Graeme was assisting at the clinic for his final exam as part of a child passenger safety certification course. Upon course completion, he can better assist those parents he sees leave the hospital without knowing how to attach their car seats.

Graeme was one of 16 students who work in public safety, health care or social services that were training parents and parents-to-be how to attach their car seats.

There are five kinds of car seats, several seat belt and latch systems and countless styles and models, so there is a lot to learn in order to assist parents with any type of car seat, said Jessica Whitehead, of Epiphany Caring for Life, a pregnancy resource center for Anoka County residents. It is the only social service agency in the county to offer free infant car seats to low-income Anoka County residents; in order to do so, staff needs to be car seat safety certified. The child passenger safety technician course includes written exams and skills assessments, Whitehead said.

Regions Hospital’s Car Seat Program holds 25-30 clinics per year in partnership with fire departments, said Coordinator Diana Van Wormer. Most car seat checks are done by hospital staff, local fire department personnel and volunteers. A few clinics per year are staffed by students testing for certification.

Van Wormer, a Grant resident, personally started the clinics about a decade ago. She is a nurse by trade and suggested her department start a car seat program for parents. Her supervisor said the hospital didn’t have

money for that; she didn’t believe him, but since he kept saying no, she asked the hospital’s foundation for funds instead. She was given $10,000 to start the program.

The clinics have grown in popularity over the years.

It used to be that fewer than 10 people would attend a clinic to make sure they were securing their car seat correctly. Last year, the program performed 700 seat checks, Van Wormer said.

Leah and Matt Batesky came from Minneapolis to learn how to securely attach their car seat. Leah said it is hard to find a car seat clinic in the Twin Cities; they searched for one online. Technicians-in-training helped them readjust their car seat from behind the driver’s seat to the middle of the back seat. The safest place for a car seat is in the middle of the car, furthest from impact, Whitehead noted.

“We know if kids are properly installed in their car seat, they are 80% safer,” Van Wormer said. Unfortunately, about 70 percent of car seats are not installed or used correctly, according to the Vadnais Heights Fire Department.

Vadnais Heights Fire Technician Chris DuBay said he has personally seen the injuries that improperly secured car seats can cause. But he has also seen serious accidents where a child who was properly secured received only minor injuries.

The Vadnais Heights Fire Department partners with Regions Hospital once a year for a clinic, but it also

offers car seat check appointments weekly all year long.

“This is a service we offer to our community,” DuBay said. The department is also willing to do car seat checks for people outside Vadnais Heights, he added.

Technicians offer car seat checkups from 8:30 to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, depending on staff availability. To make a car seat checkup appointment, call 651-204-6030.

“We’re happy to do it,” DuBay said. “We view it as a prevention measure, a lot like sprinklers.”

The White Bear Lake Fire Department also offers car seat checkup appointments year-round.

In presenting their case, Altstatt reminded council members that the Legion has given “time, effort and energy” to the city over the years. “We've contributed more than $2 million over the decades,” he said. “Looking back several years, we've cut back quite a bit. We're down to $50,000 to $60,000.

There's been a lot of turnover of establishments. Every time it's a possible loss of pull tabs. It's getting more limited. To be successful, we have to keep doing what we're doing.”

Council members agreed to review the ordinance at a July 16, 5:30 p.m. workshop. Dick Brainerd said he “totally understands” the Legion's position and told the trio, “I'm glad you're here.”

It's his understanding that the proprietor can pick or choose who gets the pull tabs, but Brainerd wasn't sure if that is state regulated or local.

Johnson said he hopes by making the ordinance more stringent, it could influence the owner to select organizations within the community.

“We're not asking for an exclusive,” Johnson added. “We're asking for protection for organizations in the area from encroachment from outside.”

Former Flame owner Lohr reminded the council he's had Legion pull tabs for about 30 years.

“The last question I asked this fella who bought the bar, 'are you going to use Legion pull tabs?' He said, 'yeah.'

Then I start hearing rumors it will be the Bayport Legion. That aggravated me a bit,” Lohr stated. “But there's not much I can do about it. Bayport did support the Mahtomedi baseball team a couple years. We'd like the requirement

community has benefited in large and small ways from the pull-tab operations from your establishment,” the letter read. “Our Kramer-Berg Legion Post 507 has intimate knowledge and personal connections to the needs we have supported. Please consider how the loss of a significant income source would affect any business. We think you’d agree that future days would be changed to the negative.”The Legion members asked Cosgrove to use them as the establishment's pull-tab provider. “Your patrons will be a lot of our community and we feel the benefit of charitable gambling proceeds can be most appropriately placed by the Mahtomedi Legion,” they wrote.

Attempts to reach Cosgrove for comment were unsuccessful. Word on the street is that his new Mahtomedi restaurant will be called Wildwood Tavern and open sometime this month.

Cosgrove also owns and operates Cozzie's Tavern & Grill in Stillwater.

The Bayport American Legion has Cozzie's pull-tab business, along with 13 other lucrative gambling locations.

Altstatt worries that hockey groups will get the nod from more businesses. “Hockey seems to be taking over the world of pull tabs in the region,” he said. “I don't know the players but they're doing a hell of a job taking everyone's pull-tab business.”

The Kramer-Berg Post currently has only two pull-tab restaurant/bars: Roma's and Frigaards.

Altstatt, Lohr and Charles Johnson, gambling operations manager, addressed the City Council in June urging them to review the ordinance regulating charitable gambling.

“We'd like the ordinance strengthened to keep the dollars in the comAve 4779 BloomLake, MN 55110 White Bear TED REQUES SERVICE CHANGE

for money to stay here go up.”

Councilman Steve Wolgamot was out of the country during the council meeting, but sent an email to Altstatt before he left urging Legion members to make their concerns known.

“You guys have always done a great job for the community and we cannot count on others to do so,” he told Altstatt, also cc'ing the mayor and city administrator.

“Charitable gambling can only be conducted with approval of the City Council and the level of commitment shown to local causes and needs is unquestionably a valid concern in voting to grant or deny specific requests and specific operators,” he said.

Wolgamot thanked the Legion for its great support over the years, “from football lights in our first years here, to the first substantial contributions to MAEF (Mahtomedi Area Educational Foundation), to scholarships for hundreds of our graduates, to the reconstruction of the veterans memorial area and much more. Kramer-Berg has been

a great asset to our community and we are grateful.”

The Legion Post 507 was chartered in 1946. According to Johnson in his “Operation Impact” report, the Post has donated about $2.4 million to the community, youth, education and veterans programs. Last fiscal year, those contributions amounted to $62,400.

Over 97% of all revenues raised are used to serve veterans and help operate programs that serve youth, adults and senior citizens located within School District #832.

Members don't have their own hall but meet in Mike's Barbershop the second Thursday of every month. Altstatt describes their meetings as “a bunch of old farts with their Legion hats on.” He is worried about the Legion's survival.

“We're all dying out,” he said.

Added Altstatt, “We feel we are more adequately informed on how to distribute money in our community. We've been supporting certain groups for lots of years. Outside groups like Bayport won't have that same knowledge.”

Loon Chronicles IV: Rafting bachelors assemble The Loons worked hard to keep a low profile during the last week. They must dread and hate all the crazy boat traffic, as much as dogs hate fireworks. As we predicted, the number of drop-in Loons, also known as the rafting bachelors, has been expanding and behaviors have become more communal. On Friday morning, the day after all the Fourth of July festivities had finally come to an end, the Loons put on their own show. At 5:45 a.m., a small group assembled just south of the bulrushes bordering the War Zone. As more single Loons dropped in, the group quickly grew to six, with others watching from above as they flew over us. After forming a circle, they took turns circling and staring at each other. Behaviors erupted into wing flaps, head bobbing, diving, and Penguin dances. Each tried to out do the other with their regal approaches and postures at attention. A few of the Loons had visible head wounds and scars, most likely sustained during territorial squabbles with other Loons and/or predators. The Eagles have been fairly well behaved of late, but they are never completely out of sight.

Care center benefits from new grant program Employees at Cerenity Care Center can earn while they learn thanks to a Minnesota Pipeline Program included in the governor's budget. The White Bear Lake care center is one of 17 metro-area companies to receive a dual training grant.

A total of 43 companies will benefit from nearly $2.9 million in state grants to fund 664 employees as part of the program.

“This is an amazing opportunity for our employees to receive a debt-free college degree, while it addresses the workforce shortage in the health care field,” noted Peg Black, Cerenity's director of community development.

Cerenity White Bear Lake and Cerenity Humboldt co-applied for the grant and have been awarded $132,000 for education of employees as follows: 18 nursing assistants to take the two-year LPN program at St. Paul College or Dakota Technical College and four employees to take the Senior Living Culinary Managers course at St. Paul College. Graduates of the five-month culinary course receive Serve-Safe Certification.

Cerenity Senior Care offers a tuition payment program that will cover the cost of all 18 LPN trainees’ prerequisite courses, Black said. Ten of the 18 LPN trainees are Cerenity White Bear Lake nursing assistants. The $132,000 covers year one of the LPN course and all of the Culinary Course.

Cerenity will be awarded grant money for year two LPN education upon grant submission in 2020. “The state of Minnesota understands work force shortage, especially in the field of nursing,” noted Black. “Cerenity Senior Care is very excited and grateful for this opportunity for its employees.”

The grant was made possible by the state Department of Higher Education.

State Highway Department officials present at the meeting said that plans for Minnesota 61 through White Bear Lake call for four through lanes running north and south with left and right hand turn lanes at all major cross streets. 1970 would be the earliest possible date to begin construction, they said. Coordinated with this construction, the county would move White Bear Avenue south of the shopping center and complete the Ninth Street intersection….

Longtime chef opens business in Hugo

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD COMMUNITY PRESS EDITOR

As if having the last name Grilz wasn't a good enough reason to open a butcher shop and market, the Centerville resident and longtime chef has always wanted to own his own business.

Dan Grilz, a resident of Centerville, opened J. Morten's in May. The business is located at 14643 Mercantile Drive (Suite 104), next to Anytime Fitness in Hugo.

“I've always had it in the back of my head that I was going to be a business owner someday and that I would regret it if I didn't try it,” Grilz explained. “I always thought it was going to be a restaurant.”

Grilz, who has 15 years of experience as a chef, attended culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu in Mendota Heights. He got his start at Bayport Cookery.

“That's where I got hooked,” he said.

After graduating from culinary school, he headed to Chicago for an internship at Trio under chef Grant Achatz, a well-known American chef and restaurateur known for his progressive cuisine. After finishing his internship, Grilz returned to Bayport Cookery before moving on to other restaurants. Most recently, he worked at Stella's on 97 in Forest Lake before a quick stint in the corporate world.

“I tried the corporate route and hated it. I made it six weeks and then I quit,” Grilz recalled. His girlfriend, Kandi Renelt, suggested he get a job cutting meat somewhere like Kowalski's or Von Hanson's since he liked butchering.

“I turned to her and said, 'Why don't I just open up a butcher shop?’ And 15 months later, here we are,” he said.

J. Morten's is named after Grilz's grandmother, Juanita Morten, who was born in 1926 — the date in the business logo. The company features well-marbled beef and pork from USDA Prime boneless steaks like filet, New York strip and ribeye, to USDA Prime dry-aged bone-in ribeye, porterhouse and KC strip steaks. The Minnesota pork comes from Compart Family Farms in Nicollet and Fischer Family Farms in Waseca. The business also dry-ages its steaks inhouse.

Other items that can be found in the store include kabobs, burgers, bratwurst, hot dogs, jerky and more. The business does not process meat or smoke meats on site. J. Morten's does, however, carry whole brisket, tri-tip, baby back ribs, pork shoulders and butts for customers to smoke themselves.

During the summer, the business is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, visit J. Morten's website at www.j-mortens.com/ or find the business on Facebook at www.facebook.com/jmortenshugo/.

Daunting challenge for coach: Building up Bear baseball

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

If ever a new coach had his work cut out for him, it’s Steve Henry, who took over White Bear Lake baseball in 2018.

While most other Bear sports have done well, the baseball team has averaged 6.6 wins against 15 losses over the last 13 years. The last winning season was 2011 when the Bears finished 11-10.

This season, the Bears were 3-19 despite having a pitcher, Trent Schoeberl, good enough to be a Mr. Baseball fi nalist.

In recent years, the top athletes in the school have mostly avoided baseball. One problem, at least in scuttlebutt picked up for this article, is that the local youth and Legion programs have not been on the same page as the high school team as other sports’ organizations are.

Henry, a burly, bearded fellow affectionately dubbed Coach Hank by peers and players, is determined to change that. His top assistant is Ryan Fitzpatrick, who played on the last strong Bears team in 2005.

“Coach Hank has been working hard to get the baseball program back going in the right direction,” said Brian Peloquin, activities director, who hired him. “I agree that there has been a disconnect between the youth, high school and summer programs. Hank has spent a significant amount of time building the bridge between (them).”

The Bears were 5-16 in Henry’s fi rst year (one highlight was a win over state champion Stillwater), then slipped to 3-19 this year.

“This spring was tough from a won-lost standpoint,” Peloquin said, “but sometimes it is necessary to take a step or two back in order to move an organization forward.”

This summer, one significant change made was departing from VFW and Legion ball in favor of joining other Suburban East Conference teams in U18 and U16 teams. The U18’s play under the MN Pop organization. Henry coaches the U18s, which have a 2-3 record and will resume play Saturday after a long July 4 layoff, and Fiztpatrick’s U16s have a 7-5 mark.

“As a history teacher,” Fitzpatrick said, “I have great respect for what the Legion and VFW stand for. But for baseball, we found that some of our best players were choosing club teams instead of Legion or VFW. With this setup, we can double-roster them and they can practice and play sometimes with us.”

Henry was an assistant for five years in a very strong Wayzata program (state champs in 2016).

Knowing what a good metro baseball program looks like, he quickly perceived what was lacking here.

“The program did not have any direction or a plan to be successful,” he said. Without that direc-

tion, participation fell in both the youth and high school programs, “setting them back for years.”

Henry started by introducing a mission statement and a set of core values.

“Things like captains practices, working hand in hand with the youth program, a website, and using social media, starting a booster club, fi xing up the fields, and ultimately, teaching the players what it takes to work toward a consistent program.”

That’s what Henry is implementing, with help from his staff, the school and parents. He has also made a point of enticing players who had quit baseball to come back.

“Hank is dedicated,” Fitzpatrick said. “He works on fields, works with kids, conducts camps, sits in on board meetings. He is working his tail off with the youth association.”

Fitzpatrick was a backup player as a junior in the 2005 team that went to state and was a pitcher on the 2006 team that went 12-12.

“In grade school, half our team was on a team that won regionals and played in a Cal Ripken World Series, and the other half played for a Little League team that also went to regionals,” Fitzpatrick said. “We had a lot of athletes then. Good hockey and basketball and football players would come out for baseball.

“Now, so many good athletes go out for track, where Tom Paulson runs a great program. Lacrosse is also very strong. Baseball just needs a push; that’s the reason I came back.”

Fitzpatrick, who applied for the head coach job that Henry got, was asked by Henry to join the staff. “When Hank told me his plans, I said, ‘Where do I sign?’ Hank also brought Aaron Turner from the Wayzata staff. We want to be the ones who change the culture and turn the program around.”

Henry grew up in Hermantown, where he played baseball, hockey and football. He continued in baseball at College of St. Scholastica in Duluth and with a town team, mainly as a pitcher, although he played several positions.

Prior to his fi rst head coaching job, with the Bears, he learned a lot at Wayzata. “The five-plus years (there) helping grow the youth program, summer programs, and high school program really paid off,” he said. “I was a part of a lot of fi rst's for the baseball program at Wayzata.”

Henry is a Level 5 Special Education Para in the Mounds View district, working at an Alternative Learning Center with high school kids. Along with coaching baseball, he’s the Bears junior varsity boys hockey coach.

After moving to Shoreview when he got married, he became friends with a White Bear Lake youth hockey coach and was invited to join the Bantam AA staff. He helped them win their first state championship and developed an affinity for White Bear Lake. “We had a great time and I met

a lot of amazing people,” he said. “It reminded me of where I grew up, Hermantown. White Bear Lake had that small town feel with the pride to match.”

Looking for a baseball position in the area, he saw the Bears opening and jumped at it. (The two previous coaches were Jeff Wagner, who had the 2005 state team and stayed until 2011, and Matt McLaughlin, who coached through 2017.)

Fitzpatrick, asked if there’s any encouraging signs, noted that the youth participation numbers are edging up. He added that an 11’s AAA team was unbeaten, and a 14’s AAA team won a tournament.

While there’s no quick fi x in building up a sport where you need at least a dozen capable and dedicated athletes, including several who can pitch, Henry gives every indication he’s in it for the long haul.

Integrating a new skill in your golf swing

f you’re like most golfers, you will probably spend time on the practice range this year trying to improve your skills.

If you are going to put forth the effort, I would suggest you have a plan Tee in place before you start.

Time Your practice habits (or lack thereof) are Betsy Larey likely the number one reason why you don’t improve year after year. You may take a lesson or two, and assume you now know the “problem� and have been told how to “fix it�. Wouldn’t it be nice if it were that simple?

Golf is a game of motor skills that must be learned. It requires motor programming, and a lot of repetition.

Once you learn the motor skill, you have to practice that skill hundreds (ekes -- thousands!) of times to store it in the brain. The term is muscle memory.

Studies have shown it takes a minimum of 1,500 repetitions to form a habit. It takes a lot more if you are trying to

“undo� a habit and learn a new one.

Whether you need a complete overhaul or some minor adjustments, keep in mind that it takes plenty of practice to blend the changes into your muscle memory. There are exceptions to every rule, but generally you will not become noticeably better overnight. As a matter of fact, there is usually a little regression before progression. When initially practicing the mechanical elements of a swing change, many individuals think they are doing something wrong because they are not getting the desired results. They may be practicing the proper correction but it takes time before the rest of the body can incorporate a change into the overall golf swing.

The golf swing happens so quickly that your muscles go on autopilot once you start the swing. Try as you might, you will not be able to tell yourself to “make sure you release the clubhead through the impact zone� on your downswing.

If you want to “release the clubhead through impact,� or perform any other motor skill; you’re going to have to put in the work and practice so that skill

is stored in your brain. The operative word here is WORK. The unfortunate truth is most golfers do not want to take the time and effort that is required to master a new motor skill. The reality is in order to improve, you have to. It’s that simple.

The best way I know how to build a new skill/movement into your swing is to break it down into pieces. For example, many golfers bring the club too far inside on their backswing. You can put a shaft in the ground behind your right leg so you can’t. You will keep hitting it until your brain realizes if you come back inside you will hit it every time. You are creating muscle memory, which is the ability to reproduce a particular movement without conscious thought, acquired as a result of frequent repetition of that movement.

Another way to build a new movement into your swing is to use a good training aid. Golf training aids don’t cure a slice or stop you from hitting it fat. What they do is focus on giving you better feedback on factors that cause these outcomes. An open clubface is caused by a poor grip, poor left wrist position and/or a bad release through

impact. An out-to-in swing path is caused by a poor grip, poor posture and/or a steep downswing plane. These are swing principles that golf training aids focus on.

So before you dive in and buy a golf training aid, you need to understand which swing principle is causing your errant performance. If you don’t know, you’ll need to see a professional for a diagnosis.

Once you know what you need to incorporate into your swing, you’ll need to commit some quality time to practice it. Next week I’ll write about how to build a successful practice session so you can take your new swing from the range to the course seamlessly.

Ski tournament features ballet on water Take one part music, one part costume and one part dance, add water and mix.

Welcome to the “Flaunt It Swivel Ski Tour,� hosted by the Midwest Ski Otters.

Sure, swivel skiing is water skiing, but that’s about where its connection to the traditional show sport ends.

Traditional show water skiing might include human pyramids and jumps, however swivel skiing involves music, turns, and dance, thanks to participants balancing on a single ski with a rotating binding. “If it looks easy, that’s only because the performer has put in so many hours of practice,� said tour organizer Shauna Pasanen. “This is ballet while a boat pulls you at 14 miles per hour. It takes both determination, persistence, and athleticism.�

IF YOU GO The tournament is being held at the Ski Otter’s ski site on Little Goose Lake (Hoffman Road). The competition is 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday, July 13 followed by an after party at Cabin 61. Free.

Pasanen, who teaches the show sport at her Knotty Girl Swivel Ski School in Winter Haven, Florida, is also the Flaunt It tour director. “Not everyone grows up to hit a ball or swing a club,� she said. “This tour allows athletes with other interests a chance to have fun and learn from others in a low-stakes tournament.

This is a great place to prove yourself, meet others and learn in a positive environment.�

Unlike a traditional water ski, a swivel ski is wide and flat with a ball-bearing loaded mounting,

First stage of strategic planning wraps up Mahtomedi Public Schools recently finished its first stage of strategic planning. The district’s planning team, which has been working through the district’s new mission statement, objectives and strategies for accomplishing its new mission, concluded work.

Recommendations have now been forwarded to the district’s administrative team for implementation over the next three to five years. The district’s strategic plan will be presented to the Mahtomedi School Board on Aug. 22 and will be shared with the school community staff on Aug. 28.

Girl Scouts create positive messaging Mahtomedi fifth grade Girl Scout Troop 56456 created a Take Action project to identify an issue affecting students at O.H. Anderson Elementary School. The

Scouts created a program to teach friends how to give words of encouragement to others, how to perform random acts of kindness, and say nice things to others. Josie Aguilera, Sally Amundson, Caylin Bauman, Julia Boogren, Austyn Cleveland, June Duclos-Beeker, Elle Halsten, Adair Klann and Ella Markovitz put together a plan, met with the principal, implemented two key initiatives and then passed their program over to the Student Council leader at O.H. Anderson to keep the program going in the years to come. The two key initiatives included sharing printed and vocal positive and motivational messages. The troop made more than 35 positive message signs to hang in the bathroom stalls and cafeteria. Members read aloud the motivational sayings Monday mornings over the loudspeaker, calling it "Motivational Monday." The troop hopes the positive messaging brings

Students recently enjoyed a Young Entrepreneurs Camp at Lincoln Elementary. The students were able to create a business plan for a lemonade stand and then actually put their plans into action by hosting a stand. One component of their plan was to produce marketing and advertising content to get hands-on experience with promoting their goal, which was to serve the community. The students raised more than $250 and collected a few canned goods that will benefit the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf.

Community education program honored Mahtomedi Community Education received the Bronze Northern Lights Award (third place) for publications from the Minnesota Association of Government Communicators. Three 2017-18 brochures were submitted for review. The judges of the award complimented Mahtomedi Community Education on its publication layout and the diversity and number of photos. Jana Swanson, marketing coordinator, and Cathy Wyland, community education director, accepted the award at the recognition ceremony.

The White Bear Lake Area Schools Board is expected to vote July 15 on a $326 million bond referendum to be included on the November ballot.

The board discussed details of the plans at a workshop June 27. The bond would be for proposed plans for a one-campus high school, new elementary school in Hugo and other building upgrades in the district.

The plans for the next 10 years include a one-campus high school at North Campus, the relocation of Sunrise Park Middle School to South Campus, and a new K-5 elementary school in Hugo. Oneka Elementary in Hugo would become a K-5 school and Hugo Elementary would become an early childhood center. Sunrise would become an early childhood center, transition center and senior center, and would house district offices.

The vacated District Center would be an expansion for Central Middle School.

The 100-year-old building would be filled with children again, noted Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations Tim Wald. Safety and security improvements, as well as flexible learning spaces, are also part of the plans.

The board would also include two long-term facilities maintenance bonds totaling $50 million to cover costs of the plans. The board has the authority to issue such bonds without voter approval, per state law.

The project costs would be spread out over time with the bonds, said Shelby McQuay, Ehlers consultant. The increase would begin in January 2020 and stay level. “In no year will the taxpayers in the district see any increase or decrease.

It is just meant to be level between pay 2020 and pay 2044.”

The tax impact for the $326 million in voter-approved bonds on a $275,000 home would be an increase of $280 per year, according to board documents. For a $1 million commercial building, it would be about $1,300.

The plans were put forth by a 90-member committee that met this winter. The facility planning committee of staff, parents and community members came to a consensus on the plans this spring after discussing five options for high school and elementary configuration to meet growing enrollment needs. The facilities planning was prompted by the district's recent strategic planning. The district projects that more than 2,000 new students will enroll during the next 10 years due to housing growth. The growth will be 25% higher than current capacity. The district has seen more than 7% growth

If the White Bear Lake Area Schools bond passed, the tax rate would increase from about 25 percent to 35 percent in 2020. It would be expected to be level through 2044.

since 2010.

“We are really focused on using existing square footage wherever possible,” Wald said.

The board discussed what would happen if the bond didn't pass by voters.

Wald said the district would have to come up with a new plan to accommodate growing enrollment.

“If not now, we won’t be ready for the kids that are coming and building costs are not going to stay stagnant; they are going to go up,” said Board Member Ellen Fahey. “If not now, when?”

The board appeared to be on board with the bond plans.

“We feel good about it and I think you have indicated you do as well, so we are hopeful going into the fall that this will be really successful,” said Superintendent Wayne Kazmierczak.

The board will vote on whether to include the bond referendum on the Nov. 5 ballot at its 7 p.m. July 15 meeting.

The following chart shows the expected tax increase on businesses and residents from a potential $326 million bond referendum.

MAHTOMEDI SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Mahtomedi Public Schools Board took the following action at its June 27 meeting: • Summarized Superintendent Barb Duffrin's evaluation, performed during a closed session held at a recent study session. “The board overall is very appreciative of Barb's work in our district done during this fi rst year,” said Lucy Payne. “They expressed how fortunate we are that we have hired such a competent and caring superintendent.”

• Approved fee increases to Policy 902 - Use of School Facilities. Fees are usually increased every two to three years to keep up with infl ation. The fees will be increased by $1 for Class III, $5 for Class IV and $10 for Class V, according to board documents. Fees were last updated for Class III in 2014, and for Class IV and V in 2016.

• Approved the 10-year plan for longterm facilities maintenance, which is required by the Minnesota Department of Education annually.

There was an additional $200,000 added for potential HVAC work at O.H. Anderson Elementary.

G_fkfj c`d`k\[ kf k_\ ]`ijk ,'

• Approved Northeast Metro District 916's budget for long-term facilities maintenance. All member districts pay a portion of the estimated $145,000. Mahtomedi's share is about $5,000.

• Approved the 2019-2020 preliminary budget. Next school year, the budget is expected to be balanced, according to the preliminary 2019-2020 budget presentation by Finance Director Bill Menozzi.

The grand total revenues and expenditures for all funds is expected to be about $55.8 million. In the general fund, the district expects to receive $41.3 million and spend $41.2 million; it projects about a $100,000 surplus.

The community service, debt services and internal service funds are also projected to be at a surplus. The food service fund is expected to have a slight deficit.

The other post-employment benefits trust fund, used for teacher severance payments, is expected to show a negative balance of about $185,000.

City rethinks removal of cleats for public mooring WHITE BEAR LAKE — The public can once again dock boats on the south side of the city's marina.

Mooring cleats that were removed from one of the docks have been reinstalled, much to the relief of boaters who frequent Commercial Bay to access businesses near the waterfront.

City Manager Ellen Hiniker said boats moored on the southernmost dock were making it difficult for boats on Tally's adjacent dock to maneuver.

“The city docks run alongside the property line of the authorized dock usage area (ADUA),” Hiniker said. “It's been like that for decades. Johnson Boat Works did the same thing.”

The configuration, permitted by the White Bear Lake Conservation District, means boats tied to the city dock are in the ADUA of the adjacent property owner. After receiving complaints last month, the city decided to remove a dozen tie-up cleats along that side.

It should be added that there were still mooring cleats on the north side of the city's docks next to the VFW, so not all public mooring was eliminated.

There are also cleats on the end of each finger for public tie-up.

“Thinking we were helping solve a problem, we discovered that it probably caused more issues with unintended consequences,” Hiniker admitted.

“Boaters started tying to cleats across the dock. So now we were concerned people would trip.”

She called Pat Igo, who manages the docks in front of Acqua. He had no problem with the tight spaces; nor did Tally's. So the cleats went back in before the Fourth of July weekend.

CARTER JOHNSON | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Mooring cleats were removed by Public Works on the city dock but later re-installed.

“Bottom line,” said Hiniker, “the lake is healthy, the water level is high and people are celebrating being in the Commercial Bay area. We want to provide the public opportunity to dock there. After talking to the marina owners, we think it's reasonable.”

Invasive species prevention enhanced by fee increase A broadly supported measure that went into effect Monday, July 1, will significantly enhance aquatic invasive species prevention and management in Minnesota.

The increase in the aquatic invasive species (AIS) watercraft surcharge on the three-year watercraft registration is increasing from $5 to $10.60. This is the fi rst increase in the AIS registration surcharges since 1993. Watercraft owners will pay the increased fee when registering new watercraft, or when the registrations on existing watercraft come up for renewal.

Reducing the spread of aquatic invasive species is a major focus for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and its partners. The surcharge increase allows the DNR and its partners to manage existing AIS infestations, reduce the spread to new waterbodies and help prevent the introduction of new species.

The increased fee will provide an increase of $880,000 per year for the DNR’s invasive species program for fiscal years 2020-21. This will allow the DNR to reinstate local AIS management grants, respond to new discoveries and continue to conduct AIS inspections.

The AIS surcharge increase was part of the budget package put forward by Gov. Tim Walz. It was passed by the Minnesota Legislature as part of this year’s omnibus environment and natural resources bill.

“We’re grateful to the lake associations, boating groups and many others who supported this long-needed increase,” said DNR invasive species unit supervisor Heidi Wolf. “They are a vital part of the important and effective work Minnesotans are doing to prevent the spread of and manage aquatic invasive species.”

The DNR reminds boaters and anglers to follow Minnesota laws to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species: • Clean aquatic plants and animals from watercraft.

• Drain all water by removing drain plugs and keep drain plugs out while transporting watercraft.

• Dispose of unwanted bait in the trash.

Some invasive species are small and difficult to see at the access.

To remove or kill them, take one or more of the following precautions before moving to another waterbody, especially after leaving infested waters: • Spray with high-pressure water.

• Rinse with very hot water (120 degrees for at least two minutes or 140 degrees for at least 10 seconds).

• Dry for at least five days.

Details about aquatic invasive species and how to prevent their spread are available at mndnr. gov/ais.

Financial Management Simple ways to save on household expenditures

There are many simple ways for homeowners to reduce monthly expenditures and realize savings, and the easiest place to start is with your monthly energy bill. Here are a few changes you can make that can have a lasting impact on your wallet and the planet. · Cool your house with a ceiling or electric fan and open the windows at night. Ceiling fans cost about 1 cent per

two hours of use, compared to 67 cents to a dollar for central air. Use your AC only when necessary and be sure to turn it off when you’re going to be away from home for long periods of time. · Invest in a programmable thermostat. It will automatically adjust the temperature in your house, saving you energy while you’re away or sleeping.

Discover the Cities difference!

Cities Credit Unioin is your one-stop, full-service financial that puts you first.

We treat you like you own the place --because you do!

· Use insulation with a high R-value. Experts and professionals often use a stone wool product called Roxul ComfortBatt, which can be used to top up the insulation in your attic. Topping up insulation to a depth of 16 inches or an R-value of 50 will help to keep your house cool in the warm weather and take the stress off your air conditioning unit. · Check the tightness of your refrigerator seal by closing the door on a piece of paper. If it’s held in place, the seal is still good. If not, it’s time to replace the seal or fi x the door’s alignment. · Only do laundry or dishes when you have full loads. If you have smaller loads, make sure to use the correct settings. If you only have a couple of items, wait it out or wash them by hand.

Also consider low-cost DIY projects such as caulking around windows, adding weatherstripping to doors, installing low-flow shower heads, putting aerators on faucets, and switching to energy-efficient LED or compact fluorescent light bulbs for even greater impact

Mahtomedi grad selected for NCAA summer basketball tour in Brazil

BY JARED MARTINSON PRESS INTERN

Parker Fox had to handle South Dakota snow all winter. This July, he gets to experience South America sun.

A graduate of Mahtomedi High School in 2017, Fox has been chosen to represent the United States NCAA Division II basketball team this summer on their Brazil tour.

Fox is a 6-foot 8-inch forward who just completed his redshirt freshman season at Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. He played in all 33 games, coming off the bench and scoring 10 points per contest.

After sitting out his first year, Fox immediately provided a positive impact for the Wolves this season, a campaign he enjoyed.

“Redshirting my first season was a little hard on me mentally, but I learned a lot and was really ready to compete,” Fox said. “I came in knowing I would be expected to play a sixth man role. I really embraced it and made the most out of it.”

Fox was a big-number performer at Mahtomedi, setting scoring records for the Zephyrs every which way.

He was also an All-Conference high jumper in track and field.

“I'm extremely blessed to have been selected to represent Team USA,” Fox said. “I think it's a testament to the work that I've put in to become the player I am.”

The men's and women's Division II teams will begin their trek to Brazil July 22 in Orlando, Florida, for orientation, then fly to Sao Paulo in Brazil. Both teams will play games on July 24, 25, 27 and 29 against multiple Brazilian clubs in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. “We feel that we have some of the best of the best representing NCAA Division II basketball from across the country,” Director of USA Sports Tours and Events Ron Smith

said in a press release. “They represent everything good that the NCAA Division II institutions have to offer.”

Along with competing against international clubs, the tour will involve exploration of the city, such as Copacabana Beach, the Christ the Redeemer statue and Sugar Loaf Mountain. According to the press release, the teams “will experience educational, cultural and social aspects of Brazilian life.” The teams will return to the United States July 31.

Two more Minnesota natives will join Fox on the tour.

Mankato East's Damani Hayes and Marshall's Mitchell Sueker play at the South Dakota School of Mines and have also been selected for the team. On the women's team, Barnesville's Peyton Boom and Roseau's Kiley Borowicz of Minnesota State-Moorhead and Winthrop's Halley Busse of Wayne State are representing Minnesota, as well.

Fox has a lot to look forward to in the next few years of his career at Northern State; next year he could be an even bigger contributor to the Wolves' success on the court, and his school is showing visible support for this summer venture.

“Northern State athletics could not be more excited and proud of Parker for earning the opportunity to be a member of the USA D2 basketball team. The experiences he will gain on and off the court will be an invaluable asset to him in the future,” a statement from the Northern State athletic department said.

Fox has three more years to establish himself as a strong player in the realm of Division II, but a quick detour below the equator won't be brushed to the side.

“Representing your country in sport is not a thing that a lot of people get to do,” Fox said. “Traveling to South America is something I've never done, so I'm excited to see the country of Brazil and their culture.”

Dellwood course record tied by visiting PGA player

Rod Pampling

Dellwood Country Club’s course record was tied last week by a surprise visitor.

Rod Pampling, a PGA Tour player from Australia, in town for the inaugural 3M Open in Blaine, took on Dellwood on Monday, July 1, and carved it up.

“He played with one of our members. Not sure the connection that they

have,” said Clayton Johnson, Dellwood club pro.

Pampling shot 64, eight under par.

“He fired a smooth 31 on the front side and 33 on the back,” reported Johnson. “He played from our Championship Tees, which measure at 7,059 (yards).”

The 64 tied the Dellwood course record, held by a member, Aaron

Oberholser, Johnson said.

Pampling placed 56th in the 3M Open, shooting 70, 69, 68, and 69 for a 276 total, two under par.

Matthew Wolff, 20, was Open champion with 263, two months after winning the NCAA title with Oklahoma State.

Here we are into July now and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beginning to feel more like summer. Forth of July weather cooperated with a flawless night of celebration and fireworks. Precipitation has been hit or miss, as we would expect with our summer jet stream pattern taking hold. Summer is here to enjoy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to take a moment to say goodbye to a friend who is moving west with his wife, Don and Cathy Mooney. Don and Cathy have lived on the shores of White Bear Lake for the past 42 years. Don would give me a ring every now and then reporting, his observations of what was going on with local wildlife and weather. I only got to know Don the past ten years, but I learned a lot from him and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss him and his reports. Safe travels Don and Cathy.

Did you know?

St. Paul was originally going to be called Pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eye, after the first settler who was blind in one eye. People called him Pierre â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eyeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Parrant, who settled in the territory we now know as Saint Paul!

THE HISTORY OF RELAY One person can make a difference. In May 1985, Dr. Gordon “Gordy” Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Washington, raising money to help the American Cancer Society with the nation’s biggest health concern: cancer.

As he circled the track, he though of how he could get others to take part. He envisioned having teams participate in a 24-hour fundraising event. The next year, 19 teams were part of the fi rst Relay at the historical Stadium Bowl and raised $33,000.

Gordy spent a grueling 24 hours circling the track at the University of Puget Sound. Friends, family and patients watched and supported him as he walked and ran more than 83.6 miles and raised $27,000 through pledges to help save lives from cancer.

Gordy passed away August 3, 2014, at the age of 71, from heart failure after battling stomach cancer.

But his legacy lives on. He helped shape an idea that started as one man walking and running a track and helped turn it into a global event raising over $5 billion to help save lives throughout the world.
