Bus rapid transit: all day, every day

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — As Rush Line committee members plow through maps and stats, three locations are emerging as best options for bus stations.

Actually, only one, downtown, is a station. The other two, at Marina Triangle and Cedar Avenue, are bus platforms.

They will have amenities like shelter, light, heat, fare payment machines and real-time departure signs.

The 14-mile Rush Line route from Union Depot in St. Paul to downtown White Bear Lake will provide bus service seven days a week from early a.m. to late p.m. Buses will arrive in 15 minute increments, or every 10 minutes during rush hour and conveniently connect to the Metro Green Line and Amtrak service at Union Depot.

A 20-person advisory committee is studying where the stations should be located and what they will look like. In the next six to nine months, the team is going to focus on environmental work and engineering. There will be opportunity for public input on their recommendations.

Stations (more like platforms) at Marina Triangle and Cedar Avenue were topics of the committee’s Aug. 14 meeting at City Hall. The downtown station was discussed at an earlier meeting in June. Rising to the top as the preferred downtown location: U.S. Bank on Clark Avenue and Second Street.

Dog beach sign removed by city

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — A sign informing dog beach users of the leash law went missing. Turns out the city took it.

The sign was purchased by the White Bear Lake Matoska Park Dog Beach Community group in an effort to inform users that dogs must be leashed at all times.

It was placed at the waterline earlier this month so it can’t be missed.

Public Works Director Mark Burch said the beach is adequately signed and additional signage by park users is not needed.

Members of the community group aren’t so sure. “Every person I talk to who has a dog off leash says they didn’t see the signs the city put up. The signs face the wrong way. If you’re coming down the stairs (from Lake Avenue), you can miss them. We hoped our signs would lead to fewer comments from people ‘not knowing the rules,’” said Pam Farrell.

The group’s social media administrator, Maren Holzinger, said the sign was purchased by the group to “educate beachgoers on the agreement with the city” SEE DOG BEACH, PAGE 8A

A sign reminding owners of the leash law had a short shelf life at the dog beach.

Station No. 1 downtown A downtown station at Clark Avenue and Second Street offers a convenient loop route for buses to turn around. It keeps traffic from the busier Fourth Street site under consideration. Plus the bank may be willing to sell the space.

“Banks change; they don’t need as much space anymore,” noted Don Arambula, a transit master planner from Portland, Oregon. “It also fits a parking structure.”

Arambula’s firm, Crandall Arambula, is part of a team working under contract with the county. They specialize in bus rapid transit.

Task force member Sheila Kelly, an attorney representing the Area Chamber of Commerce, said the U.S. Bank was her top choice. The task force also

Residents complain that boaters disturbing peace WHITE BEAR LAKE — It’s not just the loud music, but the offensive lyrics upsetting residents of the lakefront Chateaugay condominiums.

“Some songs are not songs you’d want your kids to listen to,” stated Don Wright, who stepped to the podium at last month’s White Bear Lake Conservation District meeting to voice a complaint.

The concentration of boats is growing in the area of Memorial Beach next to the condos. Boaters are using the residents’ private dock to hop on and off shore and blasting their music.

“It’s so loud we can’t sit on our deck and talk to each other.

“We know the lake is for everyone to enjoy, it has to be shared,” Wright maintained, “but infringement on others’ enjoyment is becoming a problem.”

He asked the board for “clarity and understanding on where the district’s jurisdiction for the lake resides. “We don’t know how disturbing the peace applies to water,” Wright said, also questioning if a permit is required due to the large number of people gathered.

District Chairman Bryan DeSmet said it’s not the first time the board has heard complaints from residents. Lake Utilization Committee Chair Mark Ganz said the residents should call the sheriff about the noise.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Boaters partying near Memorial Beach are playing loud music, and using a private dock, causing some residents of Chateaugay condominiums to complain.

Ganz advised asking the 911 operator to call deputies on a cell phone. “I’ve heard some people have scanners on their boats so things quiet down until the deputy leaves.”

A buoy placed by the Chateaugay dock to designate a “swimming” area to keep boats away was also not the answer. It was ignored, and the buoy disappeared.

“It gives new definition to the term ‘boating’ when they park like this,” said Wright after showing the board his pictures. “They establish a community on the lake.”

The board’s counsel, Alan Kantrud, said the water is a public space but if boaters step on the private dock, it is trespass. If they’re moving buoys, it’s

an enforcement issue and damage to property, he said.

Ganz promised to talk to the Ramsey County water patrol commander and did, after the meeting.

The patrol commander basically said that residents should continue to call the sheriff’s office.

“He said he can’t tell people to leave if they’re not doing anything illegal. It’s just too bad it’s in front of the condos,” Ganz said. The commander declined a meeting, saying it wouldn’t be beneficial. He did add several citations had been issued.

At the Aug. 21 WBLCD meeting, Kantrud said he planned to meet with water patrol deputies to give them “guidance and training. They were struggling with what to charge these people with, so they were just issuing warnings.

I will give them a better sense of our ordinances and how to effectively use state statutes so they will know the charges.”

One of the directors pointed out that a few years ago, the boats would have been on dry land.

Wright said he could remember when the water came up to the condo’s party deck.

Family portrait earns artist State Fair fine arts award A White Bear Lake artist and instructor got a thrill from something other than the Ferris wheel at Minnesota's Great Get Together. Painter Heidi Nelson attended Preview Night at the State Fair fine arts building last week and learned she'd won second place.

“In my art community, this is a big deal,” Nelson said. “This is the highest award I have ever won, when considering the prestige of the exhibition and level of award together.”

Her winning entry, called “Wedding Zig Zag,” is a watercolor portrait of her son Tim and his wife at their wedding seven years ago.

Watercolor portraits are her specialty. Nel-

son also paints in oils and does landscapes and says she's happiest when she has both a watercolor and oil painting going at once.

The painting also won a Merit Award at NorthStar Watermedia Societies’ fall member’s show last spring.

Nelson has been seriously teaching art in various art centers, community ed programs and home-school co-ops since 2001.

She describes herself now as semi-retired, teaching only in her home, Heidi’s House of Art and Respite, and at St. Paul Community Education. She can be contacted through her website: heidisite.com.

Fair attendees can view her work and that of other artists during the fair, Aug. 23 through Sept. 3.

Back to school

S

chool classrooms have been scrubbed down, walls painted, and floors waxed. The coming of the new school year also brings big changes in traffic patterns, delays and slow moving buses. That fi rst day of school you might as well schedule a late start at work, make your special someone a nice breakfast, get an extra cup of coffee, and take your time.

Camping out Our kids have been begging to go camping for a few years. We did it a couple of times when they were little with friends who are more experienced and had the appropriate equipment, but we haven’t done any camping in recent years, and don’t Publisher’s own a tent or other camping supplies. So when we were looking (last minute) for something to fill an extra View day following our company retreat in Carter Johnson Grand Rapids, we decided to spend a night at Itasca State Park.

Established in 1891, Itasca is Minnesota’s oldest park. It boasts more than 32,000 acres, more than 100 lakes, 6 miles of paved biking trails, 10 miles of paved multi-use roads, 50 miles of hiking trails, and of course, the Headwaters of the Mississippi River. We were able to book two rooms at the Douglas Lodge four-plex. The cabin built in the early 1900s was authentic and charming; each room was equipped with a double bed, a bathroom with a tub, screen porch, fireplace and fire pit with a picnic table and chairs. We arrived Friday evening having purchased all of our supplies at three local stores on the way in. We picked up homemade wild rice and cheddar brats, hot dogs, and other groceries at the meat market in La Porte, and some final supplies at the Lake George Store. Though there is a full service restaurant on site at the park, our son, in particular, was insistent that we cook our dinner over an open flame. Our kids had a tough time starting the campfire, but the meal was ultimately a success. The next day we explored the park, walked across the headwaters of the Mighty Mississippi, climbed the fire tower and hiked trails that explained the different types of forest. Staying in the cabin was sort of like a camping experience, but not quite. It was good for our family to get outdoors together, and we learned we didn’t need a bunch of equipment to build memories.

Passport renewal Last spring when dad sent us a memo indicating he would be taking us fishing in Canada in June, I began to write down notes in my phone of items to bring.

This included passports, clothing, LED flashlight, waterproof matches, tackle and bug spray. I immediately reviewed my son’s passport to make sure he was set to travel. A day before the trip I laid out our bags, fishing rods and tackle and pulled out the passports. I nearly fainted when I saw mine was expired. How was I going to tell my family I couldn’t go? I called the local DMV and learned that there is an emergency contact number. I dialed the number and they scheduled an appointment for me at the United States Federal Office Building in downtown Minneapolis. The representative was helpful and was specific in items to bring cash in the exact amount for the expedited fee, proper photos, my expired passport and a few other items. I rushed to White Bear Lake City Hall where they have passport services and had an updated photo taken.

When I arrived at the Minneapolis location, I was told there was no guarantee that I would get a passport that day, but that they would do their best. Luckily by 2 p.m. I had my passport.

Many thanks go out to the local passport service for providing me with quick photos and proper instructions to get a rushed passport. What an asset right here in our community. The crew in Minneapolis provided quick, friendly service. Still, it’s not fun to go through that kind of stress right before a trip.

If you are planning a trip out of the country, check your passport. Passports typically take 4-6 weeks to process. If you are in need of assistance, call 1-877-4872778 or visit travel.state.gov.

Your legal rights: Student loan assistance scams

tudent loan debt has reached historic levels in the United States. Over 40 million Americans owe over $1.4 trillion in student loans. Student loan assistance scams take advantage of this growing debt by promising help that is “too good to be true.�

How the scheme works Some companies have websites with promises to reduce, forgive or eliminate student loan debt. Don’t be fooled. The U.S. Department of Education offers loan forgiveness, cancellation or discharge in certain limited situations, but borrowers cannot qualify merely by making a few payments.

Some companies try to hide that they charge thousands of dollars for something borrowers can do for free: submit applications to the U.S. Department of Education for loan consolidation, forgiveness or alternative repayment plans. They often falsely claim to have “inside information� or special relationships with the U.S. Department of Education to dupe borrowers into paying them.

Programs are offered for free through the government The U.S. Department of Education allows federal student loan borrowers to consolidate (i.e., combine) multiple federal loans into one loan, resulting in a single monthly payment. Most types of federal student loans can be consolidated.

Borrowers can also apply for an income-based repayment plan, which sets monthly student payments at an Movers and loan amount based on inShakers come and family size.

Borrowers who work Lori Swanson for the government, nonproďŹ t organizations or public interest employers may be eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which forgives their remaining student loan debt after 120 monthly payments are made under an income-based repayment plan. For more information about how you can submit an application for free, visit www. studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Pedestrian safety I have been concerned about the pedestrian crossing on Hwy. 61 from Whitaker to the shopping center for quite awhile. Our police department has done so much to raise pedestrian crossing awareness, but some crossings are more challenging than others. In order to get from one side to another you need to cross four lanes of traffic with a 40 mph speed limit. I want to see a safe crosswalk in place BEFORE someone gets seriously injured or loses their life. I was traveling southbound on Hwy. 61 in the outside lane. I noticed the inside lane was stopped. I started stopping, the car in front of me did not. There was a pedestrian in front of the stopped car, who carefully looked for traffic—thank goodness he did, or he surely would have been hit. After talking to the city engineer, this is a complicated issue; the railroad and future bus lines are part of this, but people, we need to fi nd a solution. I urge you to contact MnDOT and your council rep. There needs to be a solution sooner than later. Our pedestrians deserve a safe crossing.

Get out those track shoes It's time to get out those old track shoes you thought you'd never wear again and put them to use.

Yup, it’s time to start training for the seventh annual Shortest Marathon in White Bear Lake.

On Sept. 29 at 11 a.m., we will be running one block on Bald Eagle Avenue from Third Street to Second Street. All ages are welcome.

This fun fundraiser is a benefit for the White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf. We can have a great time while raising money for this good cause. Over the past six years, participants have helped raise $62,547.49 in this run. That should put lots of good, healthy dinners on the tables of those in temporary need of support.

Did you know there are 160 children in our school district without a permanent home?

There is definitely a need for our donations.

If you preregister, you will start off with two White Castles for a carb load, then halfway down the block you receive a bottle of water (so no one gets dehydrated), and if you make it all the way to the end of the block, you will receive coffee, doughnut holes and ice cream. You will also get a T-shirt that reads “I Finished The Food Shelf Marathon,� with no mention of its one-block length. You can arrive at 10:30 and be back home by 11:30. All of this fun is available by registering at www.whitebearfoodshelf.giv. sh/8361; click on events. There will also be applications each week in the White Bear Press.

Come alone, bring the family, or organize a team. Walkers and wheelchairs are welcome.

Spanish immersion preschool planned in Mahtomedi MAHTOMEDI — A Spanish immersion day care center is planned for Wedgewood Village Center.

City Council approved a request Aug. 21 from Leah Retamozo, Bilingual Child Care and Education Center Inc., for a planned unit development amendment at 720 Wildwood Road.

The business owner plans to locate in the vacant former Snyder's store.

The property is owned by C and H Development Inc. An attached natural playground, meaning few manmade components, will also be constructed on an undeveloped adjacent parcel. The space was originally meant for a restaurant but it never materialized. This is Retamozo's second child care center. The other is in Roseville.

The Mahtomedi facility will have a capacity for 106 children and 27 employees.

Her program offers Spanish immersion child care for children

up to 5 years old. Retamozo said she was excited to expand into the northeast metro with the new center, which will operate year-round from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays.

Retamozo, from the Chisago Lakes area, and her husband Miguel, a native of Peru, have three children and live in Mounds View.

Staff feels the center will fit in with area uses, said city planner Hannah Rybak, “with no impact on reasonable enjoyment with neighboring properties. Staff believes a playground is less sensitive (disruptive) to residents than a restaurant.”

Councilman Dick Brainerd asked whether there were covenants associated with the property and if a project would be dropped because of them. City Attorney Jay Karlovich replied that the city does not enforce covenants, which he compared to a homeowners association. The city concerns itself with zoning approvals.

In other business at its Aug. 21 meeting, the council: • Approved a request from Joan and Michael Eckert for a preliminary plat to develop property at 1610 Briarwood Avenue. The owners plan to develop the 3-acre property into five residential lots, including the existing home.

The lots all exceed minimum requirements set by the city for size and setback. A minimum of 11,500 square feet is required, and all the lots range from 17,000 to 25,000 square feet, accounting for wetlands.

Councilman Steve Wolgamot noted that the lots are bigger than city minimums, “which is a good thing. These will be beautiful and a credit to the developer,” he said.

• Approved new liquor license for Bloody Mary's Bar, formerly the Dugout Bar. Owners Taun and Deb Bartholomew have sold the busi-

ness to Jackeline Equia-Welch.

• Authorized a request for proposals for recycling source-separated organic materials and yard waste.

The curbside options will include general recycling collection, collection of yard waste and yard waste combined with organics.

• Heard a question from Mayor Jud Marshall directed at the city engineer. The mayor wondered what the black rolls of fabric were along Quail Street. Engineer John Sachi said they were likely bio-rolls used to control erosion. The rolls are like giant socks fi lled with mulch to stop erosion.

Sachi added that the Historic District 3 restoration project is nearing completion. Final paving is scheduled for Aug. 28 and 29 with completion anticipated by mid-September, about the same time as the assessment hearings.

Vadnais Heights makes way for new neighbor: Hy-Vee

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The City Council opted to give away a small piece of land to make a HyVee convenience store its next-door neighbor at County Road E and Highway 61.

The developer asked Gem Lake to annex 0.07 acres of Vadnais Heights on the southeast side of the intersection to streamline the development process. The rest of the parcel is located in Gem Lake. The total parcel is 2.3 acres.

Drive in with your recycling and drive out with CASH!!

The city had asked Gem Lake whether it could keep its 0.07 acres and make a joint powers agreement regarding the development, but Gem Lake declined that idea, said City Planner Nolan Wall.

The City Council decided giving up the small piece of land was worth having Hy-Vee redevelop the corner.

“This is really an entry point to our city,” said Mayor Bob Fletcher. “It would be nice to have it developed and have it look much better.”

The City Council unanimously approved the annexation, with a few conditions. The city will be compensated taxable revenue at the current rate over a five-year period. The city will also be compensated for costs and fees associated with

the annexation. Gem Lake has already provided an escrow for legal fees.

The annexation will not go through if Hy-Vee's development plans fall through. The mayor and city administrator will not sign official documents until the fi nal project is approved by Gem Lake.

The city of Gem Lake will have to approve the annexation conditions before the development plans go forward.

Fletcher also noted the Rush Line bus line coming through could affect whether Hy-Vee is able to build the convenience store, due to potential land acquisitions.

DOG BEACH: Signage at issue with users FROM PAGE 1A

to keep the dog park open.

“We are unsure as to where the sign may be, but we are disappointed to hear that it was removed,” she commented.

Dog beach user and vocal proponent for the park, Terry Honsa, wondered at the time if it was the city that removed the sign. “If they did, then we should not have put it there. But some of us have worked hard to save this beach and people are still there with dogs off leash who claim they didn't know the rules. We are just trying to help. The city was supposed to put up more signs that state ‘Leashed Dogs Only.’”

City Manager Ellen Hiniker understands that supporters of the dog beach placed what she called “a very well-intended sign” by the lake to remind users of the leash law.

“Unfortunately, the sign included enforcement lan-

guage that hadn’t been approved. As with 'No Parking' signs, we cannot have enforcement signs posted unless they have been officially approved,” Hiniker explained.

She added that the city is not ticketing users if dogs are not on leash. “Rather, we remind owners of the rules and instruct them to place their dog on leash.”

Hiniker complimented active supporters of the dog beach who continue to be “proactive in helping make the arrangement work by cleaning the area and reminding users of the rules.”

A community service officer now patrols the dog beach and boat launch area twice weekly (afternoons and evenings) and one weekend morning/afternoon to monitor activity.

Hiniker added that parking tickets are being issued at the boat launch but dog beach users are only getting warnings at this point.

STATIONS: Concepts under review by working group will be affirmed late September FROM PAGE 1A

considered a station at the Fourth Street parcel owned by the city now a parking lot and two businesses (Burger Bar and White Bear Bar), and on the current Post Office site between Banning and Cook Avenues.

Rush Line project manager Andy Gitzlaff, a county senior transportation planner, said a 280-stall ramp at the bank site would solve some of the parking issues downtown.

“There are more advantages to that location such as creation of a transit plaza,” he pointed out. “This group was drawn to that option.”

Nothing is yet cast in stone at this point. Gitzlaff wants residents to know the options are draft concepts.

DEBRA NEUTKENS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

A volunteer task force studied station options earlier this month at White Bear Lake City Hall. The group was identifying pluses and minuses of two of the three bus stations planned for the city. Among the group, from left, Rick Johnston, Cup and Cone owner; Mike Brass, commercial real estate broker; Mike Brooks, Lake Links co-chair; Jason Graf, a consultant with Crandall Arambula; Samantha Crosby, assistant city planner; and Mark Lynch, planning commission member.

Station No. 2, referred to as the Marina Triangle platform, would be located at Whitaker Street and Hwy. 61.

Station No. 2 Marina Triangle The Marina Triangle station will have a north and south bound platform along Highway 61, in front of the Meet Market.

SRF Engineer Jim Gersema is the lead on the project and helps vet the locations. Platforms would be situated on existing MnDOT right of way, he said, but there could be “potential impacts to the Meet Market property.”

It was noted that 80 percent of people who use transit take a 5-minute walk so safe and direct access routes are especially important. A Hwy. 61 crossing at Whitaker Street would connect the platforms. A walkway on the west side would lead to the future Bruce Vento Trail along Lincoln Avenue.

A park and ride on city property next to the old public works west of Hwy. 61 could also provide 100 parking spaces for users who walk to the platform.

More Boatworks Commons-like housing, parking structures and retail development on the site of the White Bear Shopping Center are part of the vision.

Arambula said an early conversation with Kowalski’s discussed reorienting a new 30,000-squarefoot grocery store to face the highway. “They are interested but non-committal,” he said, noting the grocery store is a key concern. “One of the greatest generators for transit are grocery stores,” he added.

Planners would also like amenities like a coffee shop with eyes on the station so people could wait in a warm place on a snowy night.

Former city manager and task force member

Mark Sather said crossing Hwy. 61 is “a big issue” for the platform location. He agreed Kowalski’s is an asset to the community and a great draw but the owner of the White Bear Shopping Center, Ron Tract, “is not highly motivated to do anything.”

Sather pointed out the food shelf is on the city property south of Whitaker next to the proposed parking lot. The impact to their location “should not be minimalized,” he said. “It needs to be on the list.”

All development is contingent on the property owners, the market and the city, noted Gitzlaff.

“Our focus is on the platforms, pedestrian and traffic improvements to make the Whitaker crossing work.

Hwy. 61.

“It is apparent the majority of users live on the north side,” Gersema said. “We want to limit how many crossings pedestrians need to make. With both platforms on one side, we only have to cross the roadway once in one direction.” Six buses an hour would stop at the platform for an average of 14 seconds to let passengers on and off.

This platform would also be wider, 20 feet vs. 12 feet, to provide more of a buffer from a “hostile freeway environment.”

More housing and retail here, too, is desirable with high density residential shown on the northwest quadrant near Hoffman Road and commercial development shown on the southwest quadrant. “We need just enough commercial to activate the station,” noted Arambula.

Station No. 3 would serve people living or working in the Cedar Avenue area north and east of Hwy. 61.

Station No. 3 at Cedar Avenue The Cedar station will have both north and south bound platforms at grade on the east side of

YOU SHOULD KNOW: Rush h Line’s Policy l Advisory d Committee will ll affi ffirm the h station platforms and park and ride locations at a Sept. 27 meeting at the Maplewood Community Center, Banquet Room C, which will start the environmental work. The meeting starts at 2:30 p.m.

The federal transit administration timeline shows a 12-year process with construction to start in 2024. The Rush Line project is currently in the two-year environmental analysis phase. This phase advances project design with emphasis on the stations and “thoughtful planning for new development” near them. The analysis will result in a document that explains why the project is needed, alternatives considered, impacts to natural and built environments and mitigation strategies for those impacts.

Project development will take two years, fi nal engineering will take two years and then construction starts. It’s expected to take three years to build.

OTHER BENEFITS OF RUSH LINE: • Connect people to jobs, education, recreation and healthcare. There are 14 hospitals and/or clinics along the route.

• Support economic development.

• Serve more than 97,000 people who are diverse in income, race, age, ability and language. More than 18 percent of these households do not have access to a vehicle.

• Connect to 106,000 jobs within a 10-minute walk of the 20 planned stations along the line.

SUBMITTED

The downtown station may be placed at the site of U.S. Bank. As the left rendering shows, a four-level, 35-foot high parking structure would provide 280 spaces. The bank and other commercial/retail businesses would open at street level.

SUBMITTED

The purple line in this drawing is the bus rapid transit (BRT) route for the downtown station.

An attraction for this site is the easy loop route for the buses.

Loon Chronicles III: Mystery Chick We had another fun week following the Loons around White Bear Lake. In early June, we spotted a single juvenile Loon that was too mature to have been a 2018 hatchling, because the lake did not open up until May 5. We concluded that this Loon was a “drop in” or a spring migrant. We did not see much of the juvenile after those initial sightings. In early August, the juvenile returned to White Bear Lake and has been spending most of its waking hours the last few weeks near the end of our dock on the Birchwood shore. This is exactly what our 2016 “celebrity” chick did during the last few months of summer. The Loon in the lower left frame is a shot of our 2016 chick in early September 2016. The resemblance and behaviors are strikingly similar. Len and I do not know enough about confirming the ages of Loons, so we are going to consult the other half of our Loon Whispering Team at the DNR and see what we can learn. Who knows, maybe the juvenile is really our 2016 chick who would now be a nonbreeding adult. In the interim, we are just going to enjoy every visit. Fortunately, the Eagles are spending most of their time on the other side of White Bear Lake.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

Tennis players get new courts

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — The Town Board started the ball rolling on several projects during its Aug. 20 meeting.

A quote was approved from Court Surfaces & Repair Inc. in the amount of more than $8,800 to surface the tennis courts at Eagle Park.

The project was identified in the 20182027 Capital Improvement Plan. Other expenses in the tennis court upgrade project put it over budget: the additional $8,500 needed to complete the work will come from the Park and Recreation Fund from other projects that come in under budget. So far, more than $42,000 was spent on the asphalt court and $17,600 was spent for tennis court fencing and net posts.

The board also awarded a bid to Ritter and Ritter Sewer Service Inc., in the amount of $20,000 for pipe joint sealing.

Sanitary sewer lines around Bald Eagle Lake were found to have water leaking into the system at various pipe joints.

The project will be funded from the sanitary sewer fund.

In other action at the Aug. 20 meeting, the board:

11A

Ruck for suicide prevention

• Heard a presentation from the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society Executive Director Sara Markoe Hanson on the restoration project of the White Bear Town Hall site.

The township and the society entered into an agreement to manage the site last fall. Restoration work has since been done on the outside of the building. A fundraising campaign has raised more than $73,000 for the restoration. The next steps for the project are landscaping, electrical, HVAC, insulation, drywall, flooring and lighting. The historical society plans to host presentations in the building for White Bear Township Day on Sept. 8.

• Awarded a quote to Insituform in the amount of nearly $47,000 for sanitary sewer pipe lining improvements.

TKDA will perform construction observation in an amount not to exceed $5,800. The funding will come from the sanitary sewer fund. The project was also identified in the Capital Improvement Plan.

• Approved a license for three dogs at 5230 East St. through the end of March 2022.

• Held a closed meeting to discuss the ongoing Stoddard property case and settlement. The property is located on Portland Avenue.

A U.S. Army Reserve unit — 407th Civil Affairs Company — is holding its fifth annual ruck march Sept. 8 for suicide prevention. The ruck march will again start and end at the White Bear Lake VFW. The opening ceremony starts at 7:15 a.m.; the march starts at 8 a.m. and travels about 12 miles around the lake. The public is invited to attend but need to register at the VFW between 6:30 and 7 a.m.

Lion golf tournament set The Vadnais Heights Lions are holding their third annual golf tournament Sunday, Sept. 9 at Forest Hills Golf Club, 7530 210th St. N., Forest Lake. Shotgun start 1:30 p.m., registration at noon. A dinner and silent auction follow; event is rain or shine. Cost $125 per golfer includes cart, driving range, tee prizes, course events and dinner. Dinner only is $30. Contact Jerry Anderson, 651-230-7671.

League of Women Voters meeting The public is invited to attend the monthly meetings of the League of Women Voters – White Bear Lake Area.

Thursday, Sept. 13, White Bear Lake City Hall (second floor), 4701 Hwy. 61 N., White Bear Lake. To learn more, leave a message at 612-618-2502.

Meeting set for potential foster caregivers An informational meeting for those interested in foster care in Washington County is 6 to 8 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10, in Lower Level Room 16 at the Washington County Government Center in Stillwater. For those who decide to become licensed to provide foster care, the licensing process begins at no cost to them.

Several foster care options are offered.

• For children: Families are needed to open their homes to school-age children needing a temporary place to live.

• For teenagers: There is a need for caring and supportive foster parents who will open their homes to teenagers.

• Respite program: Give a family a needed break by caring for children and teenagers with or without disabilities for a few days or a weekend. This care is scheduled on a regular basis and can take as little as one weekend a month.

For additional information or questions regarding child foster care licensing, call 651-430-8307 and ask for a child foster care licensor. The Washington County Government Center is at 14949 62nd St. N., Stillwater.

LOOKING BACK Week of August 26 – September 1, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1943 O. M. Cherrier advises The Press that the Sunset alleys will open tomorrow.

While there are many bowlers called into the service, yet there are many who are enthusiastic fans, and who are itching to get started on the season’s program‌Police Officer Art Long has finally cleared up the mystery surrounding the recent breaking into the Williams Drug Store, which took place about two weeks ago. The Press did not mention the matter at the time of the robbery as a hunt was being made. Mr. Long finally secured confessions from two young lads and has filed complaint.

Just what will be the outcome of the case is not known‌.

1968 Friday, August 23, at the University of Minnesota Hospital, James Langer, 240 Tart Road, WBL, donated a kidney to his nephew, Tom Langer, 32 of this area. James is the father of six children and through his help, it is hoped that Tom’s life may be extended‌.

Ramsey County Recreation Department today completed hauling 1,000 yards of top dressing into the new Bald Eagle Park area. This is the first phase of the fall improvements to be made at this park. 1,000 cubic yards of beach fill sand will be added to the shore line to improve the natural lake bottom for an improved swimming beach which will be opened in the spring of 1969‌ 1993 Names in the news Brian Nell Peck, of White Bear Lake was named to the Dean’s Life at the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management for the Spring Quarter 1993.

has recently completed the Aviation Electrician’s Mate Course. He is a 1992 graduate of White Bear High School‌ Looking Forward to the Past - Upcoming Historical Society Events “Katharine Tighe, White Bear Lake, and F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Big Breakâ€?

Monday, September 24 6 p.m. Ramsey County Library-WBL Branch, 2150 Second St. She was one of Scott’s oldest friends, among the first neighborhood kids he met when his family moved back to Saint Paul. Kitty Tighe is mentioned

in his childhood diary and shows up in the Basil Duke Lee stories. Her revisions to his first novel helped launch his literary career. Fitzgerald dedicated his play “The Vegetable� to her. Though her name is found mostly in footnotes, and frequently misspelled, Katharine Tighe Fessenden merits our consideration. Her summer girlhood spent in Dellwood and on Manitou Island is part of that picture.

In 1985, a class on F. Scott Fitzgerald taught by Lloyd Hackl launched Mary Jane LaVigne into a decade-absorbing inquiry into the author’s connections

to White Bear Lake. Last year she coordinated the International Fitzgerald Society tour of White Bear. Her work has been published by Minnesota History, The Sun, and others. She teaches writing at the White Bear Center for the Arts and is working on a book about Fitzgerald at the yacht club in the summer of 1922.

FREE event but donations are welcome. Presented by the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society in partnership with the Ramsey County Library-White Bear Lake.

Harvesting honey locally

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Above: A honey bee hovers near flowers at Tamarack Nature Center.

According to a beekeeper at the center, the movement of the bee’s wings creates a static electricity charge that causes pollen to cling to the bee when it lands on a flower. An average worker bee visits approximately 2000 flowers in its lifetime, producing 1/12 teaspoon (about a drop) of honey.

Above: Volunteer Leah Deiman uses a hot knife to carve away beeswax, which is kept and used for various purposes, on a honeycomb during the Honey Harvest event Saturday, Aug. 25 at Tamarack Nature Center. Using honeycombs from hives at the nature center, bee keepers, naturalists and volunteers demonstrated the process of extracting honey.

At left: Rose Peterson has just enough reach to operate a centrifuge used to extract the honey by rapidly spinning the combs.

As part of a comprehensive teaching program, honey bee colonies are managed in hives near the flower and produce gardens.

Bears football coach back on job while battling cancer

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Ryan Bartlett, who faced his own mortality at age 34 due to a cancer scare last winter, was back on the job coaching White Bear Lake football when practices started Aug. 14.

“For the most part, it’s not too bad. I’ve been able to do most of what I need to,” Bartlett said Saturday evening, after capping off the first two weeks with scrimmages that morning. “Sometimes I come to practice a little later than I usually do. I’m battling fatigue.”

Bartlett was vexed late last year by a nagging cough, shortness of breath and recurring lightheadedness.

On his third trip to the doctor, the problem was found: a lump in his chest 9 centimeters across, and spots detected on his lymph nodes, spleen, liver and stomach. Yes, cancer.

The young coach and PE teacher acknowledged: “I was just so scared.” Rather than dwelling on football practically every hour of the day, his normal mindset, he just wanted to be home with his wife and children.

It was a reprieve when the final diagnosis turned out to be Hodgkin’s lymphoma, described a cancer of the white blood cells, or lymphocytes, that spreads between lymph nodes. The cure rate for Hodgkins is much higher than most cancers. It was “not a death sentence,” and instead a beatable foe, he concluded.

Bi-weekly chemotherapy started in late April, which also meant pulling back from parts of his work schedule. For instance, leading the summer weights program, which he had always done, was left to his assistants so he could get rest.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

White Bear Lake football coach Ryan Bartlett talks to his team during practice last week.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Bartlett marched in the Survivors Lap during the 2018 White Bear Lake Area Relay for Life in July.

“There are times it is pretty hard,” Bartlett acknowledged, referring to fatigue. “I have to find time to sleep during the day. I’ve really got to take care of myself and monitor my health constantly.”

Two practices a day the first week mean 10-hour days, a daunting schedule for any coach. And the

scrimmages on Saturday made for a particularly long day. “I have chemo on Wednesdays,” he said, “and Saturdays after that are when you kind of bottom out.”

Bartlett will start his seventh season as head coach Thursday evening, Aug. 30 with the Bears opening at Centennial.

Local skater ‘born to perform’ will join Disney On Ice

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

For Sydney Berrier, it all started when she was five and spotted a figure skating dress that dazzled her. “Mom, I want that dress!” she declared. Her mom answered, “Well, if you want that dress, you’re going to have to skate.”

Berrier, 18, of White Bear Lake, has been skating ever since, and has emerged as one of the best ever produced in this area.

Starting in October, she will be part of the Disney On Ice show, a plumb job for any skater.

“She was born to perform. She just lights up under the spotlights and has so many cool and difficult show tricks,” said Rose Esteb, her longtime coach.

“I’d have to say she is amazing,” added Esteb. “Not only is she a talented skater, she is the hardest worker I’ve taught in over 25 years. She is kind to everyone, humble as can be and

an incredible role model to everyone, especially the younger skaters.”

Berrier recently auditioned in Sun Valley, Idaho, for skating show producers and was hired there. The 5 ft.

4 inch skater’s athletic ability and showmanship have been honed by 13 years with Circus Juventas of St. Paul, performing aerial acts on the hoop,

steps and Spanish Web. Asked what Disney character she’d especially like to be, she designated Mulan, the female warrior who “was able to find strength and courage inside herself” in a world that told her she couldn't be strong.

Berrier was also inspired by a friend, Maria Starr, 26, of Roseville, a former White Bear Skating Club teammate, who’s with Disney On Ice. The Disney audition process includes an audition tape —showcasing jumps, spins, footwork, combinations, along with your personality — and then the in-person performance.

“Sydney did an aerial routine, which started on straps over the ice, and then she skated as well,” Esteb said. “They were wowed by her. The producer from Disney offered her a job and she has since signed a contract. This is a dream come true for Sydney.”

Berrier, daughter of Helen and Keith Berrier, took all her classes since ninth grade at Minnesota Online High School to free up her schedule for skating 7:30 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday, along with Saturday mornings and some evenings. She also trained off the ice doing Pilates, ballet and strength training.

White Bear Lake Sports Center’s skating club has been Berrier’s home base her entire 13-year skating career.

Her primary coaches are Esteb and Lynn Hansen.

“She lives less than a mile from the

rink, which is a plus,” said Esteb, who has coached Sydney for nine years and also coaches her younger sister Zoe. “Over the years she progressed quickly, passed many skating tests, and did well at local skating competitions. She won many.”

Berrier has performed in 12 White Bear Lake Skating shows, as top soloist for several years. Other local skating clubs have asked her to be the guest skater in their shows. She has been in 13 of the Circus Juventas productions.

Esteb takes skaters to Sun Valley, Idaho, to summer camps to work with top-notch coaches and skate at the world-renowned outdoor arena that hosts Saturday evening shows with a star-studded cast, including Olympians.

“This is where Sydney found her love for performing,” Esteb said, “and where we made connections that have led her to Disney On Ice.” Prior to leaving for Florida to join Disney on Ice, Berrier is scheduled to give one last local performance on Sept. 29 in the grand re-opening of White Bear Lake Sports Center, which is under renovation.

Berrier will skate before a home audience with Disney On Ice when they give eight performances at the Xcel Center in St. Paul on Dec. 6-9.

Dual hat tricks help White Bear girls start soccer season 2-0

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Hat tricks by two returning all-state players helped the White Bear Lake girls soccer team open its season with two victories last week.

Kayla Anderson, junior midfielder, delivered three goals in a 4-3 win over Centennial, including the game-winner with four minutes left, off a corner kick from Kenzie Termes, on Thursday evening, Aug. 23.

Clair Odmark, senior forward, pumped in three goals to lead a 5-1 win over Eastview in the home and conference opener Saturday.

Anderson and Odmark were both honored by the coaches association in 2017.

Odmark scored the other goal against Centennial, and Anderson had one against Eastview, with Katie Timmons also scoring. In goal were Tristan Lehner against Centennial and Ella Janicki against Eastview.

The Bears, coming off a 14-3 season with most of the squad back, achieved one significant goal in their opener, beating Centennial. The Cougars had beaten the Bears in the last four lid-lifters, all by one goal.

Dog retrieves birds like a champ

Bear boys soccer starts season with tie, win, late drama

Three-year-old Ruger Ricochet Bakken has a new claim to fame.

The speedy golden retriever won the championship in the obstacle course event at the annual Game Fair in Anoka last weekend. Owned

by Ron Bakken of White Bear Township, Ruger raced over fences and ignored decoys while focused on the prize duck waiting at the far end of a pond. The young dog beat six first-place winners in the finals, Bakken said, including Labs, which usually excel at the event.

“I think praise is critical. I was the only one raving like a lunatic at my dog, yelling ‘good boy.’ It gets them pumped,” Bakken maintained. Ruger blazed through the timed course in 35 seconds, twice, beating the second place dog by two seconds. People asked him about the dog’s breeding, but it’s nothing special, Bakken said. He bought him from a breeder in Afton. “A dog is only as good as its master,” he quipped.

Ron Bakken and his three-year-old golden retriever Ruger hold the trophy the dog won at Game Fair.

The proposed Assessment Roll will also be available for examination at the hearing.

OBJECTIONS AND APPEALS: Written and oral objections will be considered at the hearing. Minnesota Statutes § 429.061 states that no appeal may be taken as to the amount of the assessment unless a written objection, signed by the affected property owner, is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, § 429.081, by serving notice of appeal upon the Mayor or the City Clerk of the City within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after service upon the Mayor or the City Clerk.

SENIOR CITIZENS DEFERMENT: Under Minnesota Statutes, § 435.193 to § 435.195, the Mahtomedi City Council may, in its discretion, defer the payment of these special assessments for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When deferment of the special assessments has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided by law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law may apply to the City Clerk on the prescribed form for such deferral or payments of these special assessments. If you qualify and wish a deferment, contact the City Clerk.

AUTHORITY TO SPECIALLY ASSESS: The proposed assessments are to be levied pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The improvements are proposed to be assessed against the buildable tax parcels abutting or served by the improvements. The areas, parcels, lots and pieces or property, as specifically described herein, are subject to said assessments. The amounts set forth in this Notice are the proposed assessments. The City Council may levy and adopt special assessments that are the same or different than the proposed amounts.

PAYMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS: Once the special assessments are levied and adopted, the special assessments will be certified to the Washington County Auditor to be extended on the property tax lists for collection with real estate taxes. Prior to this certification, however, the property owner may prepay the entire amount of the assessments without any interest thereon provided the prepayment is received by October 18, 2018. If the property owner wishes to prepay the special assessments without any interest, then such payment must be made to the City of Mahtomedi at the Mahtomedi City Hall at 600 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota, 55115. Partial pre-payment of the special assessment is not presently allowed under the City Ordinances; the prepayment, without interest, must be for the entire amount of the special assessments.

If prepayment is not received by October 18, 2018 then: The total principal amount of the special assessments will be divided into an equal number of annual installments.

The proposed number of annual installments is ten (10), the number of annual installments will be decided by the City Council when the special assessments are levied.

The principal amount of the special assessments shall bear interest at the rate determined by the City Council when the special assessments are levied. The proposed interest rate is four and four tenths percent (4/4%).

Interest begins to accrue from and after September 18, 2018.

The annual principal installments, together with interest accrued on the unpaid balance, are due and payable together with real estate taxes.

Interest on the entire special assessments, from September 18, 2018, to December 31 of the year in which the first installment is payable, is added to the first principal installment. The first installment will be due and payable in 2019.

If in the future the property owner wishes to pay off the remaining balance of the assessments, then Minnesota Statutes, § 429.061, Subd. 3, provides that such payment be made to the City Treasurer (in Mahtomedi, the City Treasurer is the City Administrator), together with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which payment is made as long as payment is made prior to November 15; if the pay off occurs after November 15, then interest for the next year is also added.

If the adopted special assessments differ from the proposed assessments as to any particular lot, piece or parcel of land, then the City will mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessments. Owners will also be notified, by mail, if the City Council adopts any changes in the interest rate or prepayment requirements from those contained in this NOTICE OF HEARING.

If the property owner wishes to prepay the special assessments without any interest, then such payment must be made to the City of Mahtomedi at the Mahtomedi City Hall at 600 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota, 55115. Partial pre-payment of the special assessment is not presently allowed under the City Ordinances; the prepayment, without interest, must be for the entire amount of the special assessments.

The annual principal installments, together with interest accrued on the unpaid balance, are due and payable together with real estate taxes.

Interest on the entire special assessments, from September 18, 2018, to December 31 of the year in which the first installment is payable, is added to the first principal installment. The first installment will be due and payable in 2019.

If in the future the property owner wishes to pay off the remaining balance of the assessments, then Minnesota Statutes, § 429.061, Subd. 3, provides that such payment be made to the City Treasurer (in Mahtomedi, the City Treasurer is the City Administrator), together with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which payment is made as long as payment is made prior to November 15; if the pay off occurs after November 15, then interest for the next year is also added.

If the adopted special assessments differ from the proposed assessments as to any particular lot, piece or parcel of land, then the City will mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessments. Owners will also be notified, by mail, if the City Council adopts any changes in the interest rate or prepayment requirements from those contained in this NOTICE OF HEARING.

CITY OF MAHTOMEDI WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA NOTICE OF HEARING ON PROPOSED SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR QUAIL STREET UTILITY EXTENSION TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Notice is hereby given that the City Council of Mahtomedi, Minnesota, will hold a public hearing and meet in the City Hall Council Chambers at 600 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota, at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 to consider, pass upon, adopt and levy the proposed special assessments for improvements as follows. At the hearing, the City Council may adopt the proposed assessments.

QUAIL STREET UTILITY EXTENSION GENERAL NATURE OF IMPROVEMENTS: This project includes the extension of City sanitary sewer and water mainline service along the following streets: Briarwood Avenue from Quail Street to a point approximately 225ft north of the intersection of Briarwood Avenue and Quail Street.

Quail Street from Briarwood Avenue to a point approximately 375ft north of the first intersection with Laurel Road AREA PROPOSED TO BE ASSESSED: The area proposed to be specially assessed is generally described as properties benefitting from the extension of sanitary sewer and watermain services along Briarwood Avenue and Quail Street. Said area proposed to be assessed includes the property tax parcels listed below in the following proposed assessment roll:

TOTAL AMOUNT OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENT: The project costs for the Quail Street Utility Extension were $421,284.59. The total amount of the proposed assessments is approximately 93.2% thereof, namely, the sum of $392,755.23. The proposed assessments of $392,755.23 are proposed to be levied on the buildable tax parcels either abutting or served by the improvements. Each buildable tax parcel abutting or served by the improvements is proposed to be assessed an amount as calculated pursuant to the City’s assessment policy, as established pursuant to the City’s fee schedule, and/or pursuant to a municipal improvement benefit study performed by a professional appraisal consultant engaged by the City.

ASSESSMENT ROLL AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION: The proposed Assessment Roll is now on file with the City Clerk and is open for public inspection at City Hall located at 600 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota. The proposed Assessment Roll is being mailed to all the above identified record owners of the parcels proposed to be assessed. The proposed Assessment Roll will also be available for examination at the hearing.

OBJECTIONS AND APPEALS: Written and oral objections will be considered at the hearing. Minnesota Statutes § 429.061 states that no appeal may be taken as to the amount of the assessment unless a written objection, signed by the affected property owner, is filed with the municipal clerk prior to the assessment hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing. An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, § 429.081, by serving notice of appeal upon the Mayor or the City Clerk of the City within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after service upon the Mayor or the City Clerk.

SENIOR CITIZENS DEFERMENT: Under Minnesota Statutes, § 435.193 to § 435.195, the Mahtomedi City Council may, in its discretion, defer the payment of these special assessments for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When deferment of the special assessments has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided by law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law may apply to the City Clerk on the prescribed form for such deferral or payments of these special assessments. If you qualify and wish a deferment, contact the City Clerk.

AUTHORITY TO SPECIALLY ASSESS: The proposed assessments are to be levied pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The improvements are proposed to be assessed against the buildable tax parcels abutting or served by the improvements. The areas, parcels, lots and pieces or property, as specifically described herein, are subject to said assessments. The amounts set forth in this Notice are the proposed assessments. The City Council may levy and adopt special assessments that are the same or different than the proposed amounts.

PAYMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS: Once the special assessments are levied and adopted, the special assessments will be certified to the Washington County Auditor to be extended on the property tax lists for collection with real estate taxes. Prior to this certification, however, the property owner may prepay the entire amount of the assessments without any interest thereon provided the prepayment is received by October 18, 2018. If the property owner wishes to prepay the special assessments without any interest, then such payment must be made to the City of Mahtomedi at the Mahtomedi City Hall at 600 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota, 55115. Partial pre-payment of the special assessment is not presently allowed under the City Ordinances; the prepayment, without interest, must be for the entire amount of the special assessments.

If prepayment is not received by October 18, 2018 then: a) The total principal amount of the special assessments will be divided into an equal number of annual installments. The proposed number of annual installments is fifteen (15), the number of annual installments will be decided by the City Council when the special assessments are levied. b) The principal amount of the special assessments shall bear interest at the rate determined by the City Council when the special assessments are levied. The proposed interest rate is four and four tenths percent (4.4%). c) Interest begins to accrue from and after September 18, 2018. d) The annual principal installments, together with interest accrued on the unpaid balance, are due and payable together with real estate taxes. e) Interest on the entire special assessments, from September 18, 2018, to December 31 of the year in which the first installment is payable, is added to the first principal installment. The first installment will be due and payable in 2019. f) If in the future the property owner wishes to pay off the remaining balance of the assessments, then Minnesota Statutes, § 429.061, Subd. 3, provides that such payment be made to the City Treasurer (in Mahtomedi, the City Treasurer is the City Administrator), together with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which payment is made as long as payment is made prior to November 15; if the pay off occurs after November 15, then interest for the next year is also added.

If the adopted special assessments differ from the proposed assessments as to any particular lot, piece or parcel of land, then the City will mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessments. Owners will also be notified, by mail, if the City Council adopts any changes in the interest rate or prepayment requirements from those contained in this NOTICE OF HEARING.

Some slip numbers out of compliance in Commercial Bay WHITE BEAR LAKE — An evening spent counting boats along Commercial Bay yielded some marinas out of compliance.

Two members of the White Bear Lake Conservation District board, Mike Parenteau and Mark Ganz, conducted a boat count earlier this month.

The VFW was in compliance with 25 watercraft and one empty slip. The city of White Bear Lake had 159 boats with two empty slips.

They have a permit for 160.

Acqua had eight, which is what the district permitted.

Tally's Dockside tallied 44 watercraft and rental slips as the permit states, but looked to have one or two more rental boats tied up by Acqua.

“They looked permanent,” Ganz said.

Docks of White Bear had 208 watercraft with three empty slips. They are permitted for 200. Included in their count are three rental pontoons.

Ganz suggested sending a letter to both Tally's and

Boat slips in Commercial Bay are almost 100 percent occupied this year. The White Bear Lake Conservation District is responsible for issuing permits to the marinas. Board members reported some out of compliance at the Aug. 21 meeting after conducting a special count.

He'd also like to change the district ordinance to make it more punitive. “If a business

is permitted for 50 and they have 55, the next year they should get a permit for 45.

“Also, we haven't changed fees in 15 years in Commer-

cial Bay,” Ganz said. “The district charges $50 for a slip that rents for $2,000. We need to increase that to say, $75.”

An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, § 429.081, by serving notice of appeal upon the Mayor or the City Clerk of the City within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the District Court within ten (10) days after service upon the Mayor or the City Clerk.

SENIOR CITIZENS DEFERMENT: Under Minnesota Statutes, § 435.193 to § 435.195, the Mahtomedi City Council may, in its discretion, defer the payment of these special assessments for any homestead property owned by a person 65 years of age or older for whom it would be a hardship to make the payments. When deferment of the special assessments has been granted and is terminated for any reason provided by law, all amounts accumulated, plus applicable interest, become due. Any assessed property owner meeting the requirements of this law may apply to the City Clerk on the prescribed form for such deferral or payments of these special assessments. If you qualify and wish a deferment, contact the City Clerk.

AUTHORITY TO SPECIALLY ASSESS: The proposed assessments are to be levied pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429. The improvements are proposed to be assessed against the buildable tax parcels abutting or served by the improvements. The areas, parcels, lots and pieces or property, as specifically described herein, are subject to said assessments. The amounts set forth in this Notice are the proposed assessments. The City Council may levy and adopt special assessments that are the same or different than the proposed amounts.

PAYMENT OF SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS: Once the special assessments are levied and adopted, the special assessments will be certified to the Washington County Auditor to be extended on the property tax lists for collection with real estate taxes. Prior to this certification, however, the property owner may prepay the entire amount of the assessments without any interest thereon provided the prepayment is received by October 18, 2018. If the property owner wishes to prepay the special assessments without any interest, then such payment must be made to the City of Mahtomedi at the Mahtomedi City Hall at 600 Stillwater Road, Mahtomedi, Minnesota, 55115. Partial pre-payment of the special assessment is not presently allowed under the City Ordinances; the prepayment, without interest, must be for the entire amount of the special assessments.

If prepayment is not received by October 18, 2018 then: a) The total principal amount of the special assessments will be divided into an equal number of annual installments. The proposed number of annual installments is ten (10), the number of annual installments will be decided by the City Council when the special assessments are levied. b) The principal amount of the special assessments shall bear interest at the rate determined by the City Council when the special assessments are levied. The proposed interest rate is four and four tenths percent (4.4%). c) Interest begins to accrue from and after September 18, 2018. d) The annual principal installments, together with interest accrued on the unpaid balance, are due and payable together with real estate taxes. e) Interest on the entire special assessments, from September 18, 2018, to December 31 of the year in which the first installment is payable, is added to the first principal installment. The first installment will be due and payable in 2019. f) If in the future the property owner wishes to pay off the remaining balance of the assessments, then Minnesota Statutes, § 429.061, Subd. 3, provides that such payment be made to the City Treasurer (in Mahtomedi, the City Treasurer is the City Administrator), together with interest accrued to December 31 of the year in which payment is made as long as payment is made prior to November 15; if the pay off occurs after November 15, then interest for the next year is also added.

If the adopted special assessments differ from the proposed assessments as to any particular lot, piece or parcel of land, then the City will mail to the owner a notice stating the amount of the adopted assessments. Owners will also be notified, by mail, if the City Council adopts any changes in the interest rate or prepayment requirements from those contained in this NOTICE OF HEARING. Mary Solie, City Clerk Published one time in the White Bear Press on August 29, 2018.

BROWN’S CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, at 6:30 p.m., the Brown’s Creek Watershed District Board of Managers will hold a public hearing to receive comments on the BCWD proposed Brown’s Creek Riparian Shading Project in Stillwater.

BCWD completed a riparian shading study and identified the Brown’s Creek riparian shading projects along 2,400 linear feet of Brown’s Creek near the Millbrook development in Stillwater. BCWD would plant native plants, shrubs and trees to increase the amount of shade over the creek during the growing season to reduce stream warming. This project is proposed to begin in 2019.

The estimated total cost for the project (including engineering, implementation, 3 years of maintenance, and 20% contingency) is $87,140. The project will be funded through a county-wide ad valorem levy as authorized by Minnesota Statutes chapter 103B in the amount of $8,380 and state Watershed-Based Funding pilot grant funds in the amount of $78,760.

The public hearing will be held at Family Means, 1875 Northwestern Ave, Stillwater, Minnesota.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com

Forget it

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

“THE LITTLE STRANGER” (R) [SOME DISTURBING BLOODY IMAGES.] — When a stoic British doctor (Domhnall Gleeson) goes to the run-down Hundreds Hall mansion in the English countryside, which has haunted his dreams since visiting as a young boy (Oliver Zetterström) with his servant mother, to treat an overburdened, sickly household maid (Liv Hill) in 1948 in this slowpaced, moody, puzzling, well-acted, multilayered, 111-minute psychological gothic film based on Sarah Waters’ novel, he becomes embroiled in the dysfunctional family dynamics of an impoverish matriarch (Charlotte Rampling), her anxiety-prone daughter (Ruth Wilson) and her PTSD-afflicted veteran son (William Poulter).

“MILE 22” (R) [STRONG VIOLENCE AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT.] — Frenetic pacing dominates this convoluted, action-packed, unpredictable, 95-minute thriller based on a story by Graham Roland and Lea Carpenter in which elite undercover paramilitary operatives (Mark Wahlberg, Ronda Rousey, Lauren Cohan and Sam Medina) led by their Overwatch tactical command unit boss (John Malkovich) agree to escort to the airport a duplicitous, skilled, highly valued asset (Iko Uwais), who was granted asylum in the United States in exchange for the code that would unlock vital data from a disk, through a bullet-riddled, 22-mile gauntlet in a Southeast Asian city where the enemy appears from all directions.

“THE WIFE” (R) [LANGUAGE AND SOME SEXUAL CONTENT.] — Long-festering emotions erupt in this engaging, well-acted, well-written, 110-minute film based on Meg Wolitzer’s novel when a talented, frustrated Connecticut wife (Glenn Close), an impressive writer in her own right, accompanies her adulterous, highly successful novelist husband (Jonathan Pryce) of forty years to Stockholm, Sweden to accept the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1992 with their potsmoking adult son (Max Irons) while a journalist (Christian Slater) pesters the family to reveal more dirt in order to write an unsolicited biography.

WEEKLY AVERAGES

Timing is everything when it comes to rain. After two weeks AUG. 29 - SEPT. 4, of no rain we got teased with a little rain last Monday, Aug. 2018 20, then finally the skies opened up on Friday, August 24, with High 77° well over 1 inch of rain. The ground soaked it in. Dry crinkly grass softened and turned green. It was a good day. This past Low 58º weekend brought heavy rains to northern Anoka County and all %Sun 64% the way north past Duluth. I received hail reports in Wyoming PCP 0.93” on Sunday morning. Welcomed rains also fell in western Wisconsin for places like Eau Claire to Rice Lake, which have been very dry this summer.

Crossword

Fun Fact

When you say “a million seconds”, it means 11 and a half days. “A billion seconds” would be over 31 years.

Did you know?

There are more English speakers in China than in the United States.

“NEVER GOIN’ BACK” (R) [CRUDE SEXUAL CONTENT AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, DRUG USE AND BRIEF NUDITY— ALL INVOLVING TEENS.] — When reckless, cocaine-snorting, 16-yearold high school dropouts and best friends (Maia Mitchell and Camila Morrone), who work as waitresses at a diner and are roommates with three drug-dealing slackers (Kyle Mooney, Joe Allen and Matthew Holcomb) in Dallas, Tx. dream of vacationing at the beach in Galveston in this intermittently funny and raunchy, bathroomjoked-plagued, 85-minute coming-of-age comedy, they find themselves trying to come up with rent money after being robbed, getting fired, landing in jail and blackmailing a sandwich shop owner.

Financial Management Key traits of a good financial advisor

Professional financial advice can be a valuable asset for men and women focused on their futures.

Effective financial advisors help their clients navigate the sometimes confusing waters of personal finance, helping them to achieve both short- and long-term goals. Financial advisors can help men and women protect their savings,

make smart investments and grow their wealth.

What defines the right financial advisor depends on the client.

Some financial advisors’ strategies may not appeal to all prospective clients, so it’s important that men and women vet financial professionals before trusting them with their hard-earned money.

The following are a few

things adults can look for as they begin searching for someone to help them secure their financial futures. · Credentials: Consumers may benefit by selecting a person who is just a financial planner, and not an accountant or insurance advisor. A financial advisor who is a certified financial planner (CFP) is

licensed and regulated, and he or she has taken mandatory classes on the various aspects of financial planning. · Humility and an ability to listen: Financial advisors need to be intune with their clients’ needs, rather than putting their own best interests first. Northstar Financial Planning notes that good advisors lend support and will ride out the ups and downs of financial decisions. · Recommendations: Advisors who have a reliable track record likely have clients willing to vouch for them.

Men and women can ask friends, family or coworkers for recommendations regarding financial advisors.

· Wealth of experience: An advisor who has many years’ experience under his or her belt has likely worked with clients from all walks of life and men and women whose comfort levels regarding risk have run the gamut.

That wealth of experience can prove invaluable to clients. · Continued learning: Advisors who have memberships in financial associations and continue their education are committed to honing their craft and staying on top of changes in their field.

Financial advisors can be assets to people looking to protect their finances. Finding the right one is paramount.
