Final plat OK’d for township development

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — A new development is one step closer to being constructed.

The White Bear Town Board approved a fi nal plat during its regular meeting July 16 for Three Oaks of White Bear, a development of 28 single-family homes east of Centerville Road and north of County Road H-2.

The approval is contingent on approved agreements regarding utility easements.

A preliminary plat and a planned unit development for Three Oaks of White Bear was originally approved in April. North Oaks Company, which owns 28 acres between Peterson Road and Centerville Road, plans to develop nearly 11 acres as part of the development. The project was previously known as Cambridge Downs.

The land is currently vacant. Zoning allows up to 32 homes. Included in the development would be the construction of a 32-foot road.

The homes will be marketed to people 55 years or older and will be priced around $400,000. Homes will have three bedrooms and half will include basements.

On June 18, the town board approved a development agreement with North Oaks Company to receive and award bids to EJM Pipe Services for $1.1 million for utilities and street work within the subdivision right of way. That work is expected to be completed by the end of October.

The board also received a petition for a feasibility study for a home at 5475 Peterson Road. The petition asks the town to construct water and sewer line stubs into the property at the same time as the water and sewer lines are run for the new development.

The petition was referred to the town engineer.

Good coffee, camaraderie part of Flame’s charm

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

The longtime owner of The Flame is hoping he can still make coffee for the guys.

It’s good coffee after all, according to Ken Lohr, who is selling his iconic bar in Willernie after 39 years.

By “guys,” Lohr is talking about the half dozen or so retired tradesmen who meet at the bar most mornings to drink coffee and “make worldly decisions.”

Lohr jokes that they keep the door secured when they talk politics and open only to a secret knock.

The bar proprietor wasn’t planning on selling The Flame. One of his

customers inquired about it, so Lohr gave him a figure. “I looked at my tax statement and added money on top,” he said. “I didn’t have it appraised.

I told him I was happy with that number and there was no negotiating.

I just want the money in my hand when I slam the door. But I don’t mind coming down and fixing coffee.”

The new owners are Alyssa and Brian Forester from Grant. “They have been regular customers and have always said they would love to own The Flame if I ever wanted to sell,” Lohr said. “Brian has already indicated he doesn’t want to change it too much, which is nice.”

This was a tough week for Loon watching. High winds, bad light, and storms made each outing a mission. We were not disappointed.

Earlier in the week, we spotted a pair of Loons near the peninsula.

For reasons unknown to us, one of the Loons abruptly took off and headed for the Birchwood shore. We had to make a choice and decide which Loon to follow. We headed for the Peninsula and, fortunately, made the right choice. Whatever set the Loon off happened long before we arrived. It could have been an Eagle, Osprey, Hawk, or jet ski. No clue. The Loon was in its own world thrashing around, rowing its wings, and rising out of the water performing the infamous Penguin dance, which is a sign of extreme agitation, often brought about by a territory violation. We were fascinated and could not take our eyes off the bizarre scene. We did return to the Birchwood shore and spotted the other Loon calling its mate. If you look closely, you can see the Loon’s tongue, between the upper and lower bill, which makes all the amazing Loon calls possible. We ended the week in the War Zone, where we have been following a family of Little Green Herons that has managed to stay out of camera range in the trees and bullrushes. Once again, we were at the right place at the right time and had front row seats to quite the show as we watched three recently fledged Little Greens trying to fly and land. They crashed into branches, could not keep their balance, and looked entirely out or their element. Hopefully their parents will give them some lessons because they need all the help they can get.

Century College is leading the way in new research to optimize solar energy effi ciency. Xcel Energy provided a grant of $607,650 dollars from the renewable energy fund to support the research project. The purpose of the project is to study the impact of soiling — the loss in power resulting from snow, dirt, dust and other particles — on solar energy efficiency, and to develop strategies to reduce the cost per kilowatt-hour of electricity produced throughout the seasons. While there has been plenty of research on soiling in other regions, the research is the first of its kind within the context of our Midwest climate.

“We don’t know how much soiling is impacting solar energy production in Minnesota,” said Solar/Renewable Energies Faculty Member Scott Randall. “In other states, particularly in the Southwest, the solar panels need to be cleaned regularly. People who are having solar panels installed frequently ask, ‘How often should we clean our solar panels?’ This project should be able to definitively answer that question.”

To conduct research for the 32-month project, Century College has constructed four arrays of nine solar panels each, for a total of 36 solar panels. The solar arrays are located to the south of the science building on Century College’s East Campus.

Beyond determining the impact of soiling in Minnesota’s variable climate, the objectives of the project include determining optimal cleaning practices throughout the seasons, developing an effective method to melt snow/ice to maximize energy production (through chemical treatments and a heating system), and determining the most productive combination of panel angles. This project is also a great way to provide students with high-quality applied research experience guided by faculty mentors.

WHITE BEAR TOWN BOARD NOTES White Bear Township — In action at its July 16 meeting, the Town Board: • Received a report from a six-month review of a special three-dog license at 1651 Garden Lane.

In the past six months, neither the town nor animal control had received any complaints regarding the property, which houses three small dogs.

• Accepted the second-quarter construction report.

The town has approved seven single-family home permits thus far in 2018 and had received 11 at this same point in time in 2017. The town has seen 253 miscellaneous residential permits thus far in 2018 and processed 203 in 2017. There were five commercial permits issued by June 2017 and 17 thus far in 2018.

Permit revenue is at nearly $67,000 this year, topping last year’s number of more than $56,000.

• Authorized plans and specifications and authorized engineering consultant TKDA to perform the bidding process for sanitary sewer pipe lining improvements in an amount to not exceed $2,500, with funding from the sanitary sewer fund.

The project would consist of joint grouting and continuous pipe lining for the sewer line at Lift Station No. 3 on Bald Eagle Boulevard and north of County Road H-2. This pipe connects sanitary sewer service to the north end of Lakeview Avenue, Prospect Avenue and Cottage Avenue.

• Held a closed attorney-client session regarding 5685 Portland Ave. for more than an hour.

HealthEast Clinic – Vadnais Heights will open in its new location along Highway 96 July 30.

Vadnais Heights location incorporates recommendations from a 2017 patient survey, as well as the input of an employee design team.

Patients shared their top three priorities for improving the patient experience: separation of sick and healthy patients, increased privacy and convenience while receiving care and use of advanced technology. The employee team then collaborated to plan the design, which efficiently uses staff, resources and technology to provide the highest level of service.

“It’s very exciting to be able to offer an improved patient experience and continued partnership in health to this vibrant community,” said Elizabeth Wegner, MD, site medical director. “We invite res-

idents to stop by during our open house on Sept. 29.”

Serving my country by waiting

T

he week of July 9, I had the opportunity to serve my country. I arrived at Ramsey County City Hall in downtown St. Paul at 8:15 a.m., ready to be diligent. After passing through security, checking in and watching an orientation video, I sat in a plush chair in the Jury Assembly Room and waited.

And waited.

And waited.

Then we were dismissed for lunch. When lunch was over I came back and waited some more when I could fi nally leave at 2:30 p.m.

Intern The next day I waited 15 minutes before we were called to …

Insights the courtroom.

There we had to fi ll out a Janice Collova questionnaire. What is your occupation? What is your education? Have you, or someone you know, ever been a victim of a crime? If yes, please explain. Have you, or someone you know, been convicted of a crime? If yes, please explain. Ugh. How much did these people want to know about my life?

While the judge and attorneys processed the questionnaires, we waited two-and-a-half hours until the clerk fi nally said, “Come back tomorrow.”

I was called back for verbal questioning at 10 a.m the next day. I thought, “Perfect! I don’t have to wait! I can leave after 30 minutes!”

But — you guessed it — I had to wait.

I waited four hours. I was nervous the entire time. No period drama novel fi lled with romance could distract me.

Then I was called to the courtroom. There I felt like I was stretched out on an operating table for everyone to poke at me with vulnerable questions. But the main one that really jabbed me was, “Do you think you can be fair and impartial on this case?”

“I don’t know,” I said.

After the questioning, I was immediately dismissed from the case. I was instructed to go back down to the jury assembly room for any further assignments. Instead of an assignment, though, I got a sticker. Just like that, jury duty was officially over.

I was glad. No more waiting for anything. I could actually do stuff on my own accord.

But I was also confused. I just didn’t know if I could have been fair and impartial enough for the case I was questioned for. Had I just missed the whole point of jury duty?

Over 200 years ago, our Founding Fathers were tired of the British government passing over complaints and deciding what was what without reviewing the facts. When they declared independence, they demanded a trial by a random, unbiased jury so that justice could be dealt fair and square. Fast forward to the week of July 9, 2018, and our country is still trying to honor that demand. Did I just wait all those hours only to botch my chance to participate in our country’s judicial legacy of being fair and impartial?

Maybe not. I did swear an oath to be as honest as I could when I was questioned. And if I had to be honest about not knowing if I could be fair and impartial about a particular case, then so be it. I was probably doing everyone a favor. No one would have to wait for me while I struggled to come up with a verdict. Also, my dismissal could have helped somebody get a fair trial after all.

That is good news. What is also good news is that I get to be exempt from all this stress for four years.

Community education: Learning opportunities for all

W

e are never too young or too old to learn. Inspired by that, community education provides great opportunities for learners of all ages. Whether it be early education activities for toddlers, parents and grandparents, or lessons ranging from music to financial planning and much more, many choices abound.

I first learned Legislator about community education as a Lingo student at hamline Chuck Wiger university. In 1972 I served as an intern for the late Sen. Jerry Hughes, Maplewood, chair of the Senate Education Committee.

He asked me to do some research on a Michigan program that served learners and opened schools for people of all ages. My research was the basis of legislation that Sen. Hughes sponsored to eventually establish the state’s community education program for local school districts.

I was honored to be the organizer and founding board chair for the District 622 Community Education Board.

Fast forward to the current situation, and you will find: over 900,000 adults, 1.7 Million youth and 285,000 pre-kindergarten children in Minnesota taking advantage of community education programs. Many classes are free and others charge nominal fees or fees based on a sliding scale

according to what you can afford.

Programs that are directed or coordinated by community education include: • Early childhood family education • School readiness/pre-kindergarten programs for 3-to-5-year-olds • School-age care for children before and after school, on release days and throughout the summer • Adults with disabilities • Adult basic education • Lifelong learning opportunities for all adults and seniors • Enrichment programs for students • Youth leadership and youth service Adult programs Adult basic education classes help community members learn english as a second language, pursue a GED, brush up on basic skills or pursue IT career training and certification. Adults can expand their skills and knowledge through engaging, affordable learning options in adult enrichment. Adults with disabilities experience inclusive opportunities to build and maintain friendships, learn, and serve in their community. Some community education programs facilitate community gardens, which supports local access to healthy food.

Older adults may participate in programs and services that help maintain independence. Opportunities to socialize and learn contribute to healthy aging and well-being.

One of the original reasons community education was created was to provide community access to school district facilities outside of school hours.

How it is funded School districts fund community education with a combination of state aid and local property tax levies. Total community education revenue includes a district’s general community education revenue, youth service program revenue and youth after-school enrichment revenue. These revenues are calculated based on a school district’s population and its property tax capacity.

In 1987, the Legislature approved a general levy and aid formula for community education that produced revenue of $5.95 per capita. That funding was reduced to $5.23 in 2003 due to a state budget cut. In 2005, the funding was partially restored to $5.42, where it has remained for the past 12 years.

People make it work Volunteers enrich our communities by contributing many hours assisting in a variety of community education programs. Engagement opportunities include serving on advisory councils to offer input and connection to community groups.

We are so fortunate in Minnesota to have community education as part of our school systems, providing opportunities for residents of every age. Programs vary by community, because they are designed to be responsive to the unique needs of residents. As you can see, community education works to connect the entire community to lifelong learning and enrichment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

C empathize Can thi `with bike victim

I know just how Kim Werner is feeling (Letter to Editor, July 11). My bike was also stolen from our open garage very early one morning just before I left for work four years ago. But it's more than the stolen bike. It's the sense of safety in your own home. We no longer keep the garage door open unless we have sight of it while in the yard.

I hope Kim has fi led a police report: a serial number of the bike and a photo would help. Items sold to a pawn shop must be held for one month and police notified of what they are to check for theft. My bike was recovered from a pawn shop on Rice Street near Larpenteur Avenue.

Another A th community it gem

I attended the Children's Performing Arts production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat last month with my wife for date night, and we were absolutely blown away with the quality of the kids' performances (that evening, Jacob was played by Lakeshore Players Executive Director Rob Thomas), the costume and set designs, and the hilarious one-liners of some amazing comedy delivery and song. It's so much fun to hear the variety of unexpected and contagious laughs from the audience. You could easily see the kids' beaming with confidence and pride. It was a tremendous show.

As I looked around the beautiful plush new White Bear theater with that "new car" smell, I saw many smiling parents and grandparents, and a sprinkling of attenders like my wife and I, but there was a lot

off opportunity ll empty t it to t fi fill t seats. t When the show ended, I concluded that the White Bear community has somehow added another gem to its richness of offerings. At this point, though, I have to wonder if it's a hidden one. I encourage young and old, the next time you plan a date night or with a group, instead of a movie, check out and support our new theater of Lakeshore Players and Hanifl Children's Performing Arts. After the play, we stopped at one of our local establishments for drinks and appetizers. We had a really great time.

Honest people do exist

To the nice gentleman who returned my bike, a huge thank you!

He said he bought it at a garage sale, then read my letter to the editor (July 11), and saw the police report.

Your one actt off ki kindness proves Y d that there are good people in this community. Future bike rides will have an extra dose of joy knowing that honest people do exist. I have learned a lot about bike theft in the past few weeks, so now I want to urge everyone to take a picture of their bike no matter its age or worth, write down the serial number, and register it on either of the two free online bike registries — bikeindex.org or project529.com.

It'll save you a lot of hassle if it is ever stolen and you can transfer ownership should you ever sell it.

More importantly, use the registries when buying a bike from a private party to validate whether the bike is stolen. If you later sell a stolen bike and the original owner recognizes it and contacts the police, you will be out the money you paid for it.

Great-grandma oversees sheriff ’s office stuff ed animal operation

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

She has file cabinet drawers full of stuffed animals in her cubicle at the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Station in Arden Hills.

Community Affairs Officer Bev Shogren, of White Bear Lake, oversees the sheriff’s offi ce stuffed animal operation. Each week, she organizes and bags donated stuffed animals and blankets for deputies to offer to children they encounter during crisis situations.

Shogren is selective and thoughtful as she sorts through donations.

“I do the sniff test,” she noted.

Recently she paired up a fluffy stuffed moose with a handmade, forest-themed blanket.

Blankets are made and donated by the Shoreview Sewing Guild. The sewers stitch “binky patrol” on the blankets. The guild also makes duffel bags for children to pack clothes and favorite belongings in if they have to leave their home quickly due to crisis situations. In the bag with the moose also went a forest-themed duffel bag.

Many deputies carry several stuffed animal and blanket packs in their squad as they patrol cities in the northeast metro, including Shoreview, Vadnais Heights, Gem Lake and White Bear Township.

They hand them out at the scene of accidents or domestic crises. Stuffed animals are also given to comfort child visitors at the Ramsey County Jail in St. Paul.

“They will use those to comfort kids that are in distress in a time of need,” said Randy Gustafson, communications coordinator. “… there is nothing like a teddy bear to comfort a kid.”

Deputies sometimes share stories with Shogren of how the animals were helpful. Last summer, a woman at a shopping center was in crisis and her three children were crying.

The three stuffed animals the deputy stored in his squad calmed them right down, she noted.

Shogren also sorts stuffed animals for purposes other than crisis situations. She stores stuffed animals

in her fi le cabinet for use in demonstrations by the animal control unit.

She sorts Beanie Babies to be given away to children at Hot Dog with a Deputy events during the summer.

Deputies launch them into the air with a T-shirt launcher hooked up to an air tank unit from the water patrol unit. Crowds of excited children have caught about 100 Beanie Babies so far this summer.

“I am in need of Beanie Babies,” Shogren said. She procures many of the stuffed animal donations herself, through word of mouth. She often fi nds people have large stuffed animal collections they don’t know what to do with when their children head to college. She inspires donations by saying it is easier to let go of them if they will help someone.

Shogren has been overseeing the sheriff’s offi ce stuffed animal operation for about a decade.

She has had many other duties as a community affairs officer over the years alongside her stuffed animal work. She has directed traffic,

assisted with water patrol, searched for a missing person and helped escort former Vice President Joe Biden when he came to the Twin Cities. She’s also been a participant in active shooter training and taken a few pellets.

“I’ve had so much fun,” Shogren said.

The sheriff’s office has about 30 active community affairs officers and all are volunteers, Gustafson said.

They each volunteer at least 120 hours a year but some do more.

Shogren said she was led to the volunteer opportunity when she attended the Marketfest festival held in downtown White Bear Lake during the summer. She decided to join the sheriff’s offi ce.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and then later applied to be a community affairs officer.

She wasn’t very impressed with her fi rst assignment to clean a closet, but she soon took over the stuffed animal operation, something more up her alley. “They are so soft and

fluffy,” she said. Shogren grew up just across the Wisconsin border and remembers saving her quarters, nickels and dimes to buy a Flower the Skunk stuffed animal from the Bambi story at a store in Stillwater.

She still keeps a few stuffed animals at her apartment in White Bear Lake. On her desk at the sheriff’s offi ce, she keeps a dancing chicken for inspiration. “I like the ones that squeak and dance and walk,” she noted.

Shogren hasn’t just been a philanthropist in her golden years. She was named Lay Woman of the Year by the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis and Citizen of the Year by a Lions Club for starting a philanthropic thrift store in Forest Lake about 40 years ago: Community Helping Hand. Shogren started the store out of her garage to raise funds to feed those in need.

Shogren has three children, five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Lions help support Yellow Ribbon mission

The White Bear Lions donated $5,000 to the Hugo Yellow Ribbon Network during the July 16 City Council meeting. Yellow Ribbon Chairman Chuck Haas, also a council member, accepted the “big” check on behalf of the network. The Lions approved the donation after Haas attended a Lions meeting to explain the mission of the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program and the Hugo network.

“I was flabbergasted when Jim (Francis) called and told me the Lions would be donating $5,000,” Haas said.

“Their generous donation will enable continued support of our deployed military members and their families. A big thanks goes out to the White Bear Lions.”

Last week of Marketfest SUBMITTED

The White Bear Lake Lions Club donated $5,000 to the Hugo Yellow Ribbon Network. Lion Jim Francis, center, presented the check to Yellow Ribbon representatives and Councilmen Phil Klein, left, and Chuck Haas.

Cost is $5 per person and advance registration is required by Aug. 9. For more information, call 651-2046000 or visit cityvadnaisheights.com.

No news on fossil

Remember the fossil found in the base of the veterans memorial flag pole? Sara Hanson of the White Bear Area Historical Society said most of the archaeologists she knows are out in the field on other projects, so it was tough to get anyone too excited. She did confirm that “there are no cultural resources review requirements since it is not technically an archaeological site.”

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE The Ramsey County Sheriff's Department reported the following incidents:

Vadnais Heights • A garage door “often left open” according to a neighbor made for easy pickings for burglars in the 3200 block of Edgerton Street on or around July 10. Missing are golf clubs, a bicycle and a scooter. The total value of the loss is estimated at 1,800.

• Hand tools, quantity and total value unknown, were stolen overnight July 11 from a truck parked in the 4300 block of Oakhurst Avenue. No suspects.

• An 18-year-old woman was ar-

rested July 11 at Target in the 900 block of County Road E for shoplifting items valued at a total of $50. The White Bear Lake teen was cited and released.

• A utility trailer was reported missing July 13 from property in the 4100 block of Primrose Path.

The trailer, valued at “more than $1,000,” was last seen on July 11.

• Passersby alerted deputies to a dog in a hot car in the Walmart parking lot (date not noted). Even though a deputy was able to access the door through the partially-lowered window, the outside temperature was 88 degrees and they felt that the small dog was removed just in time. A deputy waited for

the driver to return and issued a warning as well as some education. Leaving a pet in similar situation can result in a misdemeanor citation.

White Bear Township • Deputies responded to a call July 10 in the 1700 block of County Road H2 where an adult male was served an unrelated restraining order. Authorities transported him to county detox.

• A homeowner entered his Centerville Road driveway the morning of July 10 to fi nd a crude, spray-painted rendition of male genitalia on the hood of his car. No suspects.

• A resident in the 5200 block of Hugo Road reported an unsuccessful scam attempt by phone on July 13. The authorities thanked the man for the heads up and issued this reminder to others: Attempts to demand money or any sensitive information should be met with a hang-up and then reported. These include demands for cash, money orders, gift cards, Google Play or other fi nancial information. These demands are always the beginnings of a scam designed to separate you from your hard-earned cash.

WHITE BEAR LAKE POLICE REPORTS The White Bear Lake Police Department reported the following incidents: • A credit card number was obtained without the cardholder's knowledge in the 4200 block of Old White Bear Avenue July 13 and subsequently used to make fraudulent purchases online and out of state.

THE FLAME: Planned to sell after 40 years, settling for 39 FROM PAGE 1A

Lohr bought the bar in 1979 with his wife Judy and Don and Cricket Ewaldt.

After eight years, the Lohrs bought out their partners and Judy ran it until her death in 2002. Lohr always planned to own it 40 years, but he said he’d settle for 39.

“It’s time for me to get out,” Lohr admitted. “The more I think about it, the more I think it’s right.”

The bar has always been a side job for the Mahtomedi resident, who retired as an iron worker at age 60 in 2004. He did some bartending after that but as of late, sticks to emptying the trash and making coffee. “I was told I was too crabby to bartend,” he quipped. “I qualify for taking out the trash.”

The Kramer-Berg American Legion Post 507 is also a place Lohr hangs his commander’s hat.

The Vietnam-era U.S. Navy veteran served as post commander in the ‘80s and

stepped up again more than a decade ago after his brother-in-law Dean Smith, then commander, suffered a fatal heart attack.

He has been a member since ‘71, when meetings were held in the basement of Wildwood Bowl.

When news got around that Lohr was selling The Flame, Legion member Gene Altstatt said he was worried the post would lose its leader. “If Ken left, it would be hard to hold the group together,” he said. “The cadre right now are seven guys who do everything.”

Today, Lohr shares his Ideal Avenue home with his girlfriend Mary Sue Nord.

He knew her from the Piccadilly, where she worked as a waitress for 28 years.

An Illinois native, Lohr became acquainted with the area when he visited his mom’s brothers in 1966. He was joining the military and wanted to say goodbye. Lohr returned to Minnesota instead of Illinois after serving on the USS Valley Forge. Why Mahtomedi? “I always say I was low on gas and the women were hot,”

he replied. He and Judy married in 1967.

“Ken has contributed a lot to the community,” according to Altstatt. “No one can do the job as commander better than Ken. He has the connections and the history.”

Both Legion members are proud of the work the Post does in the community.

Its members donated $80,000 to light the football field and have given thousands in high school scholarships over the years.

They make the booya at Punkinmania and display the flags on Mahtomedi Avenue during patriotic holidays.

During the last fiscal year, the Post contributed $48,000 to causes like Boys and Girls State, Legion baseball, the Good Neighbor Club, Mahtomedi Area Education Foundation, the food shelf, Boy Scouts and VFW baseball and veterans. Most of their revenue comes from pull-tabs at The Flame, the Dugout and Roma’s.

The Legion, in fact, once owned The Flame. The Post bought the building

when the Wildwood Amusement Park closed in 1932. Lohr said it served as a changing room for the park.

There’s a photo of a group of guys at the bar dated 1933, right after Prohibition ended. “It’s an old building. It’s never seen a square or level, but it’s solid.”

Lately Lohr can be found whacking weeds behind the Willernie Post Office — the Legion owns the building — or making roof repairs. He claims he doesn’t work all the time, he just works steady.

Sitting at the bar last week was one of the guys, Dave from Woodbury. He played softball with Lohr on the over-50 team sponsored by The Flame. Dave said he’s not worried about the ownership change. “As long as he leaves the coffee pot, and Ken doesn’t move to Nutwood, we’ll be all right.”

Nutwood is a private joke. Yes, it’s a real town, in Illinois, that has six houses.

Lohr tells Mary Sue he has a house picked out there; it just doesn’t have running water.

This parrot has been sitting on its perch above the bar for years. People always ask Lohr if they can buy it.

White Bear Town Hall exterior gets fi nishing touches Members of the Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corps were at the White Bear Town Hall last week constructing and installing historically accurate shutters for the structure.

The shutters will complete the exterior phase of the restoration project and were made possible through a partnership between White Bear Lake Area High Schools (WBLAHS) and the Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corp (NBHPC). Interior work will continue as conditions and project support allow.

The Northern Bedrock Historic Preservation Corps was established in 2011 to engage the next generation in the preservation trades by partnering with skilled trades professionals doing historic preservation work at historic sites throughout Minnesota. Corps members worked with Mark Johnston of Historic Design Consulting, LLC to fabricate the shutters that will complete the exterior of the structure.

Along with his technical guidance, Johnston also loaned the workers hand tools (some dating back to the 1800s) to accurately complete the construction process.

The White Bear Town Hall was moved to Polar Lakes Park in late 2015 and has undergone extensive work to repair damage and return its appearance to the original 1885 design by renowned architect Cass Gilbert. The next phase focuses on

the electrical, mechanical and security needs before interior fi nishes such as drywall and fl ooring can be completed. To date, the White Bear Town Hall Restoration Project has raised nearly $70,000 of an overall $145,000 goal. More help is needed to complete the interior work.

White Bear Township is committed to preserving its history and sharing its stories with present and future generations through the preservation of one of the area's oldest structures. The historic White Bear Town Hall was commissioned in 1885 and served as the designated meeting place for the three member White Bear Town Board for more than 125 years.

The ultimate goal of the restoration project is to preserve and restore the structure to a functional, aesthetically appealing landmark in our community that provides educational opportunities to students and a tangible symbol of the past for the residents of White Bear Township.

This happens because any pesticide applied to your lawn can be washed off by rain, running into the street storm drains & then ponds, creeks or groundwater. Pollution control methods such as stormwater ponds are used that slow down & clean up this stormwater. However, these weren’t designed to remove pollutants like pesticides. Since pesticides don’t get removed, it’s important to keep them out of the water in the first place.

So what can you do to help keep pesticides from getting into water & save money doing so? Here are a few tips: • Only apply pesticides when no rain is forecasted for the next 48 hours.

• Focus on spot treatments; zero in on weedy areas instead of applying herbicides all over your lawn.

Consider if you can tolerate some weeds.

• Buy the smallest amount of pesticides you need to accomplish your task – save money & reduce waste. If you can’t use up your pesticides, keep the labels on & store them so they don’t freeze.

• If you do have pesticides that froze or have unreadable labels, don’t put them in the trash.

Instead bring them to the Ramsey County Household Hazardous Waste Site.

• Consider alternatives to pesticides such as handpulling weeks. You could even go all natural, the Environmental Association for Great Lakes Education (EAGLE) has a great overview of natural lawn care basics @ www.eagleaction.wordpress.

NO WIPES DOWN THE PIPES – Disposable wipes used for changing diapers, personal hygiene, housecleaning & more cause major problems when flushed down toilets. While many of these products are

labeled “flushable” or “septic safe”, they are anything but. Because they don’t break down the way toilet paper does, disposable wipes clog homeowner & municipal sewer pipes. In addition, they can snag on any imperfection in pipes, catch passing debris & grease & create a “ball” that can grow to plug the pipe.

We appreciate your throwing these items in the trash, doing so will help alleviate any future problems in your home’s plumbing & the Township’s system.

EMERALD ASH BORERS ARE HERE – The bright metallic green insect has made its way to White Bear Township. The borer is smaller than a dime & can destroy ash trees quickly. Residents who have ash trees & are considering treatments to save your trees, should act now. Local arborists can advise as to what course of action should be taken.

WANT TO BE AN ELECTION JUDGE? – Ramsey County is always looking for election judges. If you are interested you have until October 12th to apply to be an election judge for the election in November.

Qualifications are as follows: 1) Must be a U.S. citizen; 2) Must be 18 years of age (16 & 17 year olds can apply for a student position); 3) Able to read, write & speak English; 4) Complete a 2-hour training session.

Located on 2600 County Road D East in White Bear Lake, the Sleep in Heavenly Peace chapter helps build beds for children who sleep without one.

Shawana Wilde got involved in Sleep in Heavenly Peace after watching a Facebook video about it.

She and husband Scott traveled to Idaho to train with Sleep in Heavenly Peace management so they could open up their own chapter and shop in White Bear.

“We knew this is something we wanted to jump into head fi rst,” Wilde said. “We took beds for granted growing up; we always had one, and provided beds for our children. We were astounded how many children are without such a simple, yet essential item as a bed.”

The shop is located in the back of the child care center that Wilde runs. They host many events in which they build bunk beds. They plan to build three beds at a small

The Wildes continue to meet with businesses to partner with the nonprofit and provide knowledge about the Sleep in Heavenly Peace chapter. White Bear is not the only place in Minnesota where Sleep in Heavenly Peace services are provided. Stillwater also has a chapter, as well as New Richmond, Hudson and Baldwin in Wisconsin. There are currently 300 bed requests in these areas and the upcoming builds like the one on July 28 help fi ll those requests.

“No kid sleeps on the floor in our town,” Wilde said.

Former Zephyr earns own museum exhibition Mahtomedi alumna Annie Hejny, Class of ‘07, will showcase more than 20 original paintings at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona for her first major solo museum exhibition titled, “Waterlines.” After graduating in the top 10 percent of her Zephyr class and summa cum laude from the University of St. Thomas, Hejny is quickly advancing in her professional art career.

Hejny said she lived a creative childhood and dreamed of becoming a schoolteacher. Her focus on art did not develop until after entering the teacher education program at St. Thomas.

“I remember the day during my sophomore year, when I declared my elementary education major and then called my mom to explain that I wanted to pursue an additional major in studio art. My family was incredibly supportive as I worked between two universities to receive my Minnesota State Teaching Licensure at St. Thomas and complete an art major at St. Catherine University (SCU).”

After graduation, Hejny felt called toward art more strongly than teaching; thus, she made a commitment to her paintings and her artistic voice, and took

a leap of faith into the art world.

Through completion of a professional mentorship with the Women’s Art Resources of MN and attending the Women’s Art Institute at SCU, Hejny discovered Annie Hejny the root of her creative inspiration in the waters of Minnesota. Her painting process starts well before approaching the canvas. Immersing herself into the natural environment of the Twin Cities to build a relationship with the earth, Hejny harvests her materials at the shoreline, primarily of the Mississippi River.

“Being in nature is scientifically proven to heal both body and mind. My paintings are an extension of this healing, reconnecting us to water. The river needs us as much as we need the river.”

Over the past year, Hejny has been

LOOKING BACK Week of July 22-28, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1918 The 7th birthday of James C. Fulton, Jr., was celebrated by the family enjoying a picnic at Forest Lake. They were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Drake....

Miss Lucretia Dilly and father caught a 7-lb pike in White Bear Lake last Tuesday evening.

1943 The Ramsey county surveyor’s truck crew are hauling earth to the edge of the lake avenue and filling in several of the places. This is being seeded to oats, barley and rye in order to hold it in place.

The earth is being removed from the surface of the following streets and avenues which are being stabilized, preparatory to paving at some future time. The earth is being removed from Eighth street between Long and White Bear Avenues [now Bloom Avenue]; Murray from First street to Fifth street; and Miller avenue from Second street to Fifth.

1968 [White Bear Lake] Mayor Milton Knoll said yesterday that he is vetoing the council’s action that residents remove their docks from street endings along Lake Avenue. The Council at a special meeting last Monday evening had passed a resolution to the effect that the 7th St. and 9th St. residents be notifi ed by telephone by Mr. Bernard, City Manager, and instructed to remove the docks and

steps by Thursday (today), and if they did not do so, the city would. He was further instructed to send a letter to residents having docks on other street endings and on Matoska Park property that they had 10 days in which to remove them.

1993 Lakeshore owners around the lake have been seen raising and re-raising their docks as the rainy season in the area continues. Seems the years of grumbling of low lake levels that resounded around the fi ve communities encircling White Bear Lake can finally cease. According to the Ramsey County Public Works department, the lake level was at 922.99 feet above sea level on July 7. That’s three feet above the all-time low of 919.9 feet hit in 1991.

Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events Fillebrown House Tours Saturday, July 28th Fillebrown House 4735 Lake Avenue, White Bear Lake Visit our quaint 1879 lakeside cottage ...

A true example of life during the resort era in White Bear Lake. The Fillebrown family occupied the house for most of its years as a residence and donated the house with its contents to the WBL Area Historical Society in 1978.

Jim Fulton, ca 1915

Compiled by Gloria Tessier, Meg Todd and Sara Markoe Hanson at the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, 651-407-5327.

Class of ’51 still meeting for lunch after all these years After sitting together for lunch throughout high school, a group of about a dozen women from White Bear Lake High School’s Class of 1951 still meets monthly for lunch to nurture the friendship and camaraderie that started for some of them in kindergarten 80 years ago.

Asked what it was like going to school during the late ’30s and ’40s, they said, “there was no drugs, no alcohol and no bullying.” But girls couldn’t wear slacks, their yearbook features pictures of Native Americans that defi nitely wouldn’t be published today, and the only sports for girls offered during phy-ed and lunch was badminton and volleyball.

The class of 1951 started with 125 students.

Most of the 20 women in the lunch group had musical connections during high school. They came from varying socioeconomic backgrounds, but all loved band and choir. You didn’t have to own an instrument during those days, and most of them didn’t.

Over the years, after they married and had children, they got together when they could — especially when one of them came to town from out of state. Only a few still live in White Bear: Sheila Cunningham, Donna Goette, Dorene Fischer and Phyllis Reis.

There weren’t a lot of career options for women back in the mid-50s — mainly as nurses and teachers. A few in the group were radiologists or worked at 3M. The radiologists died early, possibly due to unsafe technology, members of the group speculate.

When they became empty nesters, the women started to get together every month. They enjoy sharing memories of growing up together, remembering each other’s parents and, as Arlene Lindbeck Zwickel put it, “We have no secrets.”

They’ve lost six of the original group over the years, including Darlene, Sally, Noel, Carol, Virginia and Marcia. Of course, they enjoy reminiscing about them, as well.

About half of the remaining lunch ladies have lost their husbands. Some now have a tough time getting around. But that doesn’t stop them from getting together for lunch monthly with the friends they’ve known most of their lives.

Beat-up Township ball team has 1-15 ledger

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

It’s been a rough season for the White Bear Township baseball team. This squad decked out in 1960’s Pittsburgh Pirates-style sleeveless uniforms, and using no team nickname, enters the final week of the regular season with just one win in 16 games. That was 3-1 over the Stillwater Loggers on June 27.

While it’s been a few years since Township fielded a winning team, injuries have taken a toll this summer, too, said Dick Sand, the longtime general manager. They have 20 on the roster and often play with 10 or 11 on hand.

“We’ve had elbows, shoulders, backs, everything,” he said. “Our shortstop, Ben Ryan, has been playing hurt. He just insists on playing.

“One game we played at Century College, our right fielder stepped in a gopher hole or something. He had a hyperextended knee. He was out for two weeks — and the second game back, he got hit by a pitch in that same knee!”

SUBMITTED

Township pitcher Andy Kramlinger held Stockman’s Irish down for a few innings before things unraveled in an 11-0 loss on July 17.

The pickoff throw to shortstop Ben Ryan was a bit late as a Stockman’s Irish baserunner dives in safety. Stockman’s won 11-0 on July 17.

Township closed the regular season hosting Frogtown Lake Monsters on Monday evening. They play at Township Fields. Playoffs are coming up.

The starting pitchers still available are Andy Kramlinger (who plays college ball for St. Mary’s), Kevin Hildreth (formerly with Illinois Tech) and Dominic Mayietta (formerly Dakota County Technical College. They are handled by catcher Nate

Levinson, who plays for Macalester.

“Our pitching has been good and Nate is a very good catcher,” Sand said. “Our hitting has been anemic. It’s starting to come around but the issue is getting hits in bunches like you need to.”

Hayne, Kirkwood take top honors in Dellwood member-guest tourney Eric Hayne and Mike Kirkland emerged as champions among 60 duos in Dellwood Golf Club’s annual Black and Gold Invitational last week.

Hayne and Kirkland edged Bill LeBlanc and Harrison Andrews in the finals of this member-guest, match-play tournament, one of Dellwood’s biggest events with 120 entrants.

Competition was divided into six flights, with each team playing the other five in their flight. Then, all the firstplace teams dueled each other (and all the second-place teams, and so on) in net shootouts July 14 with an alternate-shot format.

Hayne and Kirkland won a very competitive flight by a half-point with three wins, a loss and a tie.

The championship came down to a three-hole playoff. On the first hole, Hayne guided a five-iron shot from the rough, over the water, within 10 feet of

the cup, and Birkland sank the putt.

On the final hole, a 195-yard par three, Hayne’s four-iron drive rolled two feet from the cup and Birkland made the clinching putt.

Hayne and LeBlanc are Dellwood members, and Kirkland and Andrews were the guests.

Five athletes from the White Bear Lake Area High School trap and skeet team competed in a High School Trap Shooting National Championship Tournament last week. High school trap shooting continues to grow throughout the country, with about 25,000 registered. Last week, the highest scoring 2,000 athletes qualified for the inaugural National Championships in Mason, Michigan. The tournament was held July 12 through 15.

The tournament format consisted

of team and individual competitions, where the athletes daily shot four rounds consisting of 25 targets per round. In the team competition, Jake Spring lead the Bears with a score of 92, and both Austin Bauer and Austin Thilmany scored perfect rounds of 25 straight. In the individual competition, Spring once again led the Bears, with a score of 97, where he scored a perfect 50 straight in the first two rounds, and a 25 straight in the final round.

Mahtomedi Legion heads into playoffs with 10-5 record

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Mahtomedi Legion baseball team, coming off their state high school championship, posted a 10-5 record in the regular season. They started playoffs Tuesday.

The roster is mostly the same as the Zephyr team that went 20-4

and won the Class 3A crown. The only starters missing are pitcher/ outfielder Leo Bustos, a junior-to-be who is playing for a club team, and designated hitter Adam Devore, who is not playing.

However, the Zephyrs were missing several players early in the Legion season and due to graduations, vacations, summer jobs and

getting ready for college, they had a 4-5 record at one point.

“We’ve got our team back now,” said Mark Dornfeld, Legion head coach who’s an assistant on the high school team. Earlier, the Zephyrs “had a different lineup every game.”

Four players who saw mostly JV action in the spring fi lled in the gaps and gained varsity-level experi-

ence: Blake Hogan, Jake Arlandson, Alex Mogren, and Evan Saatzer.

Mahtomedi started district playoffs on Tuesday, facing Tri-City Blue in the fi rst round. The double elimination tournament is being held at Irondale.

Want to grow the game of golf? Try these ideas One of the interesting statistics from the latest (May 2018) National Golf Foundation report is there were 8.3 million golfers who played exclusively at off-course facilities like Topgolf, driving ranges or indoor simulators. Golf’s participation base remains stable at 23.8 million golfers. Courses continue Tee Time to close, which is actually a good thing. The U.S. remains the best Betsy Larey supplied golf market in the world.

In my opinion, golf is not growing because most people do not want to spend half a day playing golf. Prior to the golf boom in the 1990s, most courses offered a senior and a junior rate, as well as a 9 hole rate. Once participation rates skyrocketed, all those were off the table and prices rose substantially.

Fast forward to 2014, when the USGA introduced its Play9 campaign to encourage people to play shorter and more cost-effective games. I know a lot of people who love playing 9 holes, me included. I don’t have the time during the summer, and getting in a quick 9 is perfect.

Another reason millennials and others are turned off is golf has a reputation as a stuffy, stodgy sport for the elites. While there are still private clubs that describes, there are other options for people who just want to hit a ball without all the fuss. And have fun! And if you’re not having fun why do it?

Topgolf is exploding in popularity. People love hitting balls, whether they are golfers or not. Topgolf is as much about food and beverage, plus live sports on big screen TV’s, as it is about golf. Almost half

of the people who have visited a Topgolf facility do not play golf. The privately held company markets themselves as a global sports entertainment community. What a great way to introduce people to the game.

One of the best places for those who just want to get out and play is Gem Lake. Come dressed as you are with a couple of clubs or rent some. What I love about this course is they have two separate 9’s; an executive 9 and a par 3 nine. Another plus is the course is always well maintained.

Oak Glen also has a separate executive 9. These places are great for families or those just learning to play. No pressure from a group behind you, which beginners feel on most regulation courses.

So what can course owners and operators do to bring back the legions that quit and matriculate new players to their facility? For starters, quit thinking of your business as golf and start thinking of it as a consumer discretionary business.

Set aside times on select evenings for beginners and families. Charge a small fee and let them use rental clubs. I would suggest having a ranger or clubhouse staff on the course to help direct people and answer questions. Make sure they get a handout with basic rules and etiquette.

If you want women, have a morning or early afternoon league with child care available. If you have a clubhouse, you’ve got the space to do it. You will fi ll up fast. You could also build another set of forward tees. Most clubs’ forward tee boxes are at least 5300-5600 yards. Way too long for most women. There should be a set of tees under 5000 yards on every course.

If you are trying to attract new golfers, ask your teaching pro to give free ½ hour clinics and play

a few holes with every new golfer. You can do it in small groups. They need to know basic rules and etiquette. You can’t teach that on a range. Then start a beginner’s league and don’t require them to keep score.

If you want juniors, you have to have a teaching program combined with on course play. During the boom years, almost every course cut out the play part. That was stupid. Golf is the only game where the practice area is completely different than the playing area. In my opinion, this is the number one reason junior golf participation dropped as far as it did. Again, require the Teaching Pro to run the program for a very reasonable fee. In addition, have specified times posted when juniors can play for cheap. At least two times a week, and weekends after 3.

If you’re trying to attract families, offer a family rate on weekend afternoons. Kids play for free with two paying adults. Have a 9 hole rate as well as 18.

I would also have a teaching pro do free mini clinics before the family time begins.

All of these ideas are adding value to your golf business. If you want to separate yourself from your competitors, give these ideas some serious consideration. If you’re a player, tell the manager of your course these ideas would really make a difference for you.

A woman for all seasons: lifelong Mahtomedi athlete named to another Hall of Fame

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Born a little too soon to take advantage of Title IX, Paulette Genz has made up for it ever since.

The lifelong Mahtomedi resident — a multi-sport athlete from her teens into her 70’s — was recently named to her fourth sports Hall of Fame.

“I’ve always enjoyed sports. I’ve had some success, and as long as I can contribute, I’ll keep going,” said Genz, 71, who was inducted into the Minnesota Senior Sports Hall of Fame in May, specifically for her prowess in bowling.

Genz, currently playing in slow-pitch softball and golf leagues, was previously embraced by the Minnesota Softball Hall of Fame, the Minnesota Bowling Hall of Fame, and the St. Paul Bowling Hall of Fame.

The 1970 legislation that opened the door for girls scholastic sports was welcomed by Genz, who graduated from Mahtomedi High School in 1963 and had only some limited Girls Athletic Association (GAA) club activities in basketball and softball.

But she was “disappointed that I didn’t have the opportunity myself,” Genz said, meaning high school sports.

“I might have been able to go on to higher education with benefit of athletic scholarship, possibly.”

The retired 3M employee has been a league bowler for over 50 years, attending 38 national tournaments and twice earning individual championships in seniors divisions.

For a good chunk of her career, Genz averaged 190 or above, with a high of 199 one season. With age, she slipped as “low” as 185 for a season. She averaged

186 last winter, bowling in two leagues as usual.

For over 30 years she’s been a member of the “Don-Mar” team sponsored

by Donald and Marleen Jorgensen.

Marleen has been her teammate all the while.

With all those years in the lanes, Genz was asked, did she ever get the elusive 300 game?

No, but she came within one pin, twice. She rolled a 299 at a tournament in Hutchinson in 1996 and another at Maplewood Bowl a few years later (she can’t pinpoint the year.) Her high game otherwise is 279.

“I left the ten pin fi rst time, and the seven pin the second time,” Genz said, about the fateful 12th ball. “You try to stay calm and just think about what you are doing, but it’s a little nerve-wracking.”

Each time, she said, “Everybody was watching, and we were all pretty sure I had the 12th strike, but it didn’t happen.”

Genz bowls in two leagues in the winter, then shifts gears completely.

“I put that big heavy ball in the closet in the summer and start chasing around a smaller one,” she said.

Actually, two smaller ones. She plays league slow-pitch softball, along with golf, which she started in her late 50s.

Playing in two leagues, she shoots in the 50s for nine holes, and got as low as 47 once.

Genz played fast-pitch softball for many years, highlighted by the 1979 national tournament when she was named all-tournament as the pitcher for a Bloomington team.

Playing for teams in White Bear Lake, St. Paul and Bloomington, she

started as an infielder and eventually moved to pitcher. She quit fast pitch at around age 50 and didn’t pick up a glove again until 10 years later when she was recruited for slow-pitch.

Her current team, Gallagher’s, consists of ladies in their 60s and 70s, and with no seniors league convenient, they compete against ladies decades younger at a league in South St. Paul. And hold their own. Last week, they lost 7-6 to Jersey Bar. “The camaraderie, the friendships, is the best thing,” Genz said. “But once we cross the lines, I like to win, too.”

Second Chance Animal Rescue – Saving Lives Second Chance Animal Rescue incorporated in 1994 as a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization dedicated to rescuing, caring for and adopting out homeless dogs, cats, puppies and kittens into permanent loving homes. All animals that we rescue are spayed or neutered, FeLV & FIV or heartworm checked, vaccinated, dewormed and flea treated prior to adoption. They are then placed in a temporary foster home until a permanent adoptive home is found (we do not have a shelter or a holding facility). Our foster care volunteers provide an important service and we are always in need of more so we can save more lives. When you foster,

“For For All Styles Styles” Ranger-a Husky

you get the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped save the life of an animal in need. Second Chance provides fosters with the animal care supplies needed such as food, carrier or crate, toys, cat litter, dog leashes and collars, etc.

When adopting an animal, we want a lifetime rewarding experience for both the adopter and for the animal. We screen potential adopters carefully to make the right match for everyone. The foster participates in the process by showing the animal to the potential adopters, answering questions, and completing the adoption paperwork.

Build a strong relationship with your pet’s vet Routine wellness visits are an important part of maintaining overall health for adults and children. The same can be said for ensuring family pets are thriving, as well.

Veterinarians should be consulted for more than just illnesses. Their input is a key component of proper pet care. Having a solid relationship with the vet is in the best interests of the pet and its owner.

Open communication and familiarity with companion animals helps to avoid health issues before they appear, according to Dr. Krista Magnifico, DVM, and founder of Pawbly.com. Wellness exams facilitate discussion when the animal is not under duress and the general health of the pet can be properly assessed. According to the pet resource iHeartDogs.com, common components of wellness visits include the vet asking questions about exercise frequency, appetite, behavior, and any breed-specific issues. A vet will examine the pet, check gait and movement, as well as look at the eyes, ears and mouth. Routine vaccinations also are typically discussed and administered.

Veterinary Practice News advises taking a new pet to the vet a few days after he or she comes home, even if the pet’s medical history has been documented extensively. This establishes a clinical file and a relationship between pet and vet and vet and pet owner.

The frequency of vet visits is often determined by the veterinarian, breed and age of the animal, and the preferences of the pet owners. The vets at The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine say that kittens or puppies may need to come in once a month for preventative shots until they reach 16 weeks of age. New pet parents also may need more guidance on training and housebreaking and can benefit from more frequent interactions with a vet early on. After pets receive all of their initial immunizations, vets typically see healthy pets annually for well visits. If the pet has a specific condition, he or she may require more frequent visits.

According to the pets division of WebMD, senior dogs, or those around age 10, should get twice-yearly checkups, as advised by most vets.

Changes to hormones and major systems of the body may occur rapidly in aging pets, and more frequent visits can help discover illnesses, such as canine diabetes. Vets also can be an educated sounding board for facing an elder pet’s end-of-life issues.

Veterinarians play an essential role in maintaining the health, happiness and comfort of pets. A great relationship is established early on.

Minimize dust while renovating Even though dust is everpresent both inside and outside of a home, when renovations are in full swing, dusty conditions are often exacerbated. Cutting renovation materials outdoors can minimize dust generated in work areas.

Whether a home is new or old, numerous substances can be stirred up when removing walls, reďŹ nishing ďŹ&#x201A;oors, removing tile, or expanding living spaces. These include silica from drywall, lead, asbestos, paint particles, and even waste from bugs or rodents.

Homeowners who want to remodel with minimal construction debris ďŹ&#x201A;oating through the air â&#x20AC;&#x201D; both for health purposes and general cleanliness â&#x20AC;&#x201D; may ďŹ nd these proactive steps helpful. â&#x20AC;˘ Prepare dust-containment plans. If a contractor is involved, it is often his or her responsibility to minimize dust. Do-it-yourselfers must make dust containment a priority. Protecting the ďŹ&#x201A;oor and keeping the dust conďŹ ned only to work areas can be achieved with plastic sheeting and other barriers. â&#x20AC;˘ Designate an entrance and exit. The experts at This Old House say it is best to choose one doorway as the only means in and out of a work area. Ideally, this doorway should lead to the outdoors. All other doorways should be sealed on both sides. â&#x20AC;˘ Remove extraneous items. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to remove clutter from the room, including any furniture that can be taken out of the space. This helps items from becoming dirty and hazardous particles from settling into nooks and crannies. â&#x20AC;˘ Close vents and registers. If forced air systems are part of the home, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to divert air away from the work area. Block vents and intake registers so that dust does not clog the system or transfer to other rooms. â&#x20AC;˘ Cut items outside. Design advice site Houzz says that some power tools have vacuum extractors to suck up dust at the point of contact, removing 90 percent of dust where it is generated. For those who do not have access to these tools, cutting and sanding can be done outdoors to keep dust outside. â&#x20AC;˘ Open a window. If weather permits, an open window can provide ventilation. Another idea is to create an air vacuum in the work area. Picking a window at the far end of the work area and mounting a window fan blowing outward can suck dust out and away from other areas of the house. â&#x20AC;˘ Clean up daily. By keeping on top of dust, including sweeping and vacuuming the work area frequently, dust will not accumulate and migrate elsewhere.

Dr. Poet inspired by lake life

BY JULIE KINK CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As stones are shaped by the lapping of water, there’s something about living near a lake that shapes and defines a person. Something about the feel of sun-warmed sand at water’s edge. A heron standing statue-still on a sandbar at noon. An old, ugly boat that can still churn its way through the choppy water toward home.

The “lake life” gives birth to a unique set of shared experiences that ties people together and gives meaning to their lives.

Growing up on White Bear Lake, Will Nicholson developed a keen eye for the common experiences that he says reach across divisions and bind people together as “laketowners.”

“A little of White Bear Lake is in all of us,” he says.

The 1996 White Bear Lake Area High School grad was drawn to the field of medicine, eventually building a career as a “hometown” physician and hospitalist at St. John’s Hospital in Maplewood. But he also loves to write. Nicholson started a blog, www.laketown.blog, to share his thoughts about lake life. He calls it “a prescription I wrote for myself to take time, appreciate the little things that make life here amazing. By sharing those things I hope it’s a sort of prescription to help my fellow laketowners do the same.”

In other words: to inspire others to pay attention to what’s important.

Nicholson feels he owes a tremendous debt to the teachers, neighbors, leaders and ancestors who helped him along the way.

“I had awesome role models who taught me that a physician’s practice doesn’t stop at the exam room door,” he said. “My doctors growing up were neighbors and friends. . . They coached sports, volunteered at food shelves, served on the school board, and took a global view of health that included community involvement.”

Nicholson said the purpose of his blog is to celebrate the things that lake folks share. “Working in healthcare is a daily reminder of the amazing, fantastic, fleeting nature of life, the beauty and miracle of every breath we take,” he said.

“Every day we are surrounded by an infinite counter-narrative to the negativity and divisiveness that has lately dominated the public discourse: Our awesome lake town,” Nicholson remarked.

“Reconnecting people to the things that bind us together — even the little things like night swims or the first ice — has a positive therapeutic effect. It certainly has for me.”

Nicholson trains his poetic eye on the minutiae — the cacophony of bird songs carried across a still lake, the tilt of tulip petals towards the evening sun, the drenching sizzle of a sudden summer rain, the dirt-caked nose of a happy lake dog.

“The small things are the most important,” Nicholson explained. “I try to write about them vividly and in a way that inspires people to pay attention to them.

“I write about laketown because it’s the kind of community I know best, down to the raindrops. It’s a community that transcends a lot of social and demographic divisions. And it’s a sort of community that exists in laketowns everywhere.”

Nicholson graduated from the University of Minnesota-Duluth with a German major and chemistry minor. Volunteering at the USA Cup Soccer Tournament sparked his interest in med school, where he graduated in 2006. He completed a 2009 residency at St. John’s Hospital, and never left. “I love working with the team at St. John’s,” he said. In addition to practicing as a hospitalist, doing clinical work and administrative roles, his ten years there have included serving as director of the hospital’s medicine practice, site physician executive and chief of staff.

He said “giving back” by working in his hometown isn’t just the right thing

to do. “It’s something that gives me strength and focus when my work gets difficult.

“I love our little White Bear Lake world and I can think of nothing better than a life’s work devoted to caring for neighbors and friends, helping make sure we have the best community (and community hospital) in the state.”

The doctor/poet and his wife, Leah, have a two-year-old daughter Vyla, and a three-month-old son Konrad.

Nicholson humbly declined offering any advice for budding writers.

“My general advice is to make life your work of art,” he said. “Live a huge, meaningful, sustainable life. Make the world a better place in small ways every day. Care deeply, fearlessly and diversely for others. Then share that with people.

That’s what I’m trying to do.”
