HY-VEE: Gem Lake gives its blessing PAGE 3A

Former mayor close to full recovery after devastating disease

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

Twenty months after Paul Auger was diagnosed with a mysterious condition called Guillain Barre syndrome, he’s feeling pretty well, “considering I was paralyzed.”

Auger was Paul Auger reclining in his favorite chair at the automotive garage that’s been in his family since 1919, watching a couple of chums play cribbage and joking with the mechanics. He can’t hold a wrench yet, but he can hover over a car hood, troubleshooting by ear.

Calling his condition “an episode out of ‘The Twilight Zone,’” the 65-year-old Auger spent 10 months in a hospital bed recovering from a disorder that puts the body’s immune system into overdrive.

It started at work with tingling in his foot Jan. 16, 2017. Then his foot went to sleep, a sensation Auger described as “going through the looking glass,” an Alice-in-Wonderland expression he uses often while talking about the paralysis.

Within 24 hours, he was in intensive care hooked up to a mechanical ventilator to breathe. Every muscle in his body became immobile as white blood cells attacked the myelin sheath around his nerves, disrupting the electrical impulses to the brain and spinal cord. Even his eyes were stuck open because he couldn’t blink.

“I tell you, that’s a surreal feeling,” he recalled. “I could not feel any part of my body. I couldn’t even move my eyeballs. I was just laying there staring at the same spot in the ceiling.”

His darkest hour came the first week when he overheard a doctor talking doom and gloom to a family member about the possibility of disconnecting his ventilator.

Kwik Trip will have convenient company along south 61 corridor

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

GEM LAKE — It's official. Hy-Vee's proposed convenience store at Hoffman Corner is approved.

Businesses on the southeast corner of County Road E and Hwy. 61 are moving out end of month and the property owned by Don and Sheila Waldoch will be sold to the Iowa-based grocery company. The City Council OK'd the project at its Sept. 18 meeting.

Approval was subject to annexation of a small strip of land from Vadnais Heights and a few other stipulations regarding storefront glass, a perpetual license agreement to use Hoffman Road right of way, and stormwater storage. A 25-foot right of way strip along County Road E north of the store was also turned over to the county for a future turn lane and sidewalk.

The Hy-Vee Fast and Fresh is a 10,000-square-foot convenience store that includes gas pumps, a drive-thru Starbucks, and liquor store.

A land use ordinance was amended to allow the additional uses, as well as a reduction in glass from 60 percent to 35 percent on the front of the building.

Council was prepared to hear concerns from nearby business owner John Birkeland, but he left before the item appeared on the agenda. Instead, his property manager, Laurel Hynes Amlee, spoke on his behalf. She told council her

employer had the same concerns voiced earlier regarding infrastructure improvements along Hoffman Road and the burdensome assessments that will follow.

In an earlier conversation, Birkeland iterated that he is not opposed to the Hy-Vee project but feels since the entire city of Gem Lake will benefit from its amenities, the entire city should pay for the road and utility improvements it will require.

Birkeland, who owns White Bear Floral, Country Lounge and several homes along Hoffman Road, also worries that there is a gas station 200 feet from his mother's house; yet there is no city water to her property. Traffic is also a concern.

“I heard it will be open 24 hours. There will be hundreds of cars with no stoplights there,” he pointed out. “There will be accidents. We are too small a community for a project like this. Gem Lake is biting off more than it can chew.”

Tenants leasing space from the Waldochs have already found new locations. Dennis Olson, owner of Mouldings, Doors & More, is moving about a quarter mile east across from Stadium Bar & Grill. Jerry's Upholstery is moving across E to share a building with the Black Sea Restaurant.

Sanibel Dance and Cefou' will also be moving.

“It's a happy ending for everyone,” said Sheila Waldoch after the meeting.

Hy-Vee plans to break ground in spring.

Mahtomedi Homecoming Week is September 24-29. The Homecoming parade will be at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 28, followed by the football game at 7 p.m. against South St. Paul. The parade will be held on the school grounds. It will begin at the southwest corner of the green parking lot and end at the north side of the high school blue parking lot.

Levy information session for older adults The students from Mahtomedi Generations are hosting an informational session about Mahtomedi Public Schools’ proposed operating levy from 4 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2 at the Wildwood Branch Library in Mahtomedi. The event is free and open to older adults who live in Mahtomedi School District. Refreshments will be provided. For more information call 651-208-2922 or visit www.mahtomedigenerations.com.

Wednesday, Oct. 3 at the District Center in room 103. The next will be at 6:30 p.m.

Monday, Oct. 8 at the middle school media center (room 209). A meeting will be held at Wildwood Elementary at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 15 in the media center (room 2100).

Puppy miracle

M

y summer was not fun. In addition to being sick for pretty much all of it, my corgi puppy, named Twinkie, had to undergo heart surgery.

It all started back in July when we brought Twinkie to the vet for a little scrape on her foot.

Although we were told the scrape was nothing, we were also told she had a heart murmur (which was news to us).

After getting a second opinion, it was confi rmed.

We made an appointment with a canine cardiologist. She was diagnosed with Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA), a congenital heart defect that was causing too much blood to flow into the Out and left side of her heart. We were told she would need to undergo a About surgery to put in a small device Shannon to stop the blood from flowing where it shouldn’t. If she didn’t Granholm do the surgery, she would likely only live another year or two and die from congestive heart failure.

In addition to already paying well over $600 to see the cardiologist, we were also given estimates for the surgery that ranged from $2,500$4,500. That number was pretty hard to swallow, especially with a journalist’s salary. Since I don’t have children, my dogs are my children. So needless to say, we went forward with the surgery, which happened Aug. 22.

Thankfully, my co-worker Sara Marie Moore and her hedgehog Ginger quickly sprung into action and started a GoFundMe page to help with Twinkie’s medical bills. With the recent news of the couple in Philadelphia who raised $400K for a homeless veteran through GoFundMe and never turned over the money to him, I was extremely nervous that people wouldn’t be comfortable donating.

Despite my fears, immediately donations starting pouring in from co-workers, family members, friends and complete strangers.

We were absolutely blown away by the generosity of not only the people we knew, but all the people we didn’t. In Twinkie’s short little life, she had touched a lot of lives, both in person and online through my own personal pictures on Facebook and her Instagram @frosty_and_baby_ twinkie (yes, my dogs have an Instagram).

Twinkie’s followers, many of whom live in other states and countries, not only donated to her GoFundMe, but also mailed cards, sent her a handmade blanket and new toys. One corgi owner set up a raffle to raise money for the cause.

A 12-year-old girl even went as far as dedicating her birthday to Twinkie. Instead of asking for presents, she asked for donations for Twinkie, whom she had only met once.

Because of Twinkie’s connections, a nonprofit organization called Bandit’s Bandaid got wind of Twinkie’s story and agreed to be with us every step of the way, both financially and for support.

Thanks to all of the support from friends and strangers alike, my husband and I were able to focus on Twinkie and what is most important— getting her back to her normal, spunky self and giving her the long, healthy life she deserves.

Not having to worry about the fi nancial side of things was such a relief during an already stressful time.

From the bottom of my heart, and Twinkie’s fi xed heart, I want to thank every person who sent prayers and felt this was a worthy cause to contribute to.

Twinkie is now free to run laps around the house (what we call the Corgi 500), run up and down the stairs over and over again and play with her sister Frosty and all of her corgi friends.

T

From sunburned to burned out

he school year has begun and summer break is officially over. For many, getting back into a routine and setting goals for the coming months feels like a healthy next step after a restorative summer of sun, fun and vacation.

But if we’re not careful, we can easily go from sunburned to burned-out in a matter of weeks.

We live in a culture that often valMovers and ues busyness over and excess Shakers rest, over restraint.

Jerry Hromatka How often have we caught ourselves boasting about how productive we can be on just a few hours of sleep, or sheepishly admitting that we “wasted” a weekend doing absolutely nothing? Research shows that ignoring our need for rest and relaxation not only harms ourselves, but the people around us as well.

Our children not only watch how we deal with stress, they learn from our example. According to the American Psychological Association, teens are becoming as stressed out as the adults in their lives. And during the school year, they sometimes report even higher levels of stress than their parents.

At Northeast Youth & Family Services (NYFS), we see youth coming to us for help dealing with stress at younger and

younger ages. The pressure to do it all: get good grades, take advanced classes, participate in a sport or extra-curricular activity and get a job can overwhelm a youth who is already doing the hard work of navigating adolescence.

NYFS Outpatient Mental Health Director Rachel Cain says that while stress is a natural part of life, it shouldn’t be viewed as an insurmountable problem.

Stress is the net effect of mustering the resources necessary to respond to stressors in our lives.

The skills we learn and fortitude we gain when we respond to stressors is necessary for personal, academic and professional growth. It becomes a problem when we lack the resources to effectively manage stress or when we are under too much stress for too long.

She adds that parents need to regularly check in with themselves, and with their children, to determine what is a manageable level of stress and what is too much. Cain says to be aware that younger children might not have the words to fully express their feelings – but their bodies often tell the tale for them. Kids who are prone to stomach aches before school, lose their appetite frequently or have trouble sleeping may be exhibiting signs of too much stress in their life.

Adults may have similar symptoms and can experience a rapid heartbeat, chest pain, fatigue, headaches or muscle tension in

the upper back, shoulders and neck. They may also fi nd themselves snapping at loved ones over small issues or isolating themselves from friends and family.

Some stress from things like job loss or a long illness, cannot be avoided. But it can be lessened through intentional self-care such as setting a fi rm time each day to stop working, going to bed at a reasonable hour, eating healthy meals and scheduling time for fun with family and friends. Physical exercise, meditation and massage can also help.

Cain adds that we have more control over stressors than we realize. Canceling a volunteer commitment or dropping a class will not cause an organization to fail, or keep a student from succeeding in life. Recognizing and addressing stress is not a failure, but a recognition that our minds and bodies need consistent care if we are to perform at our best.

In the long term, rest and moderation are much more productive than burnout. Life is a marathon, not a sprint; we need to be at our best for the long haul. So now that summer is over and we may not have as many easy opportunities for rest and relaxation, take a few minutes to consider how you can build in some intentional downtime for yourself or loved ones.

Jerry Hromatka is executive director of Northeast Youth and Family Services.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Teachers T h go extra t mile il iin Di District t i t 832

Best-kept B t k t secret: t ffree college ll credits dit

Dear District 832 residents, please vote yes for the upcoming school levy. We moved into the district three years ago and have been incredibly happy with the schools in this district. Our experiences with teachers and staff have been so positive; we see them not only teaching well, but caring for students, communicating with parents, and going the extra mile to see students succeed and enjoy learning. As a former teacher myself, I know that being in a district/community that highly supports education makes a huge difference in all of those areas. Thank you.

Erica Whitson Mahtomedi

I'd like to let parents of high school students know about the best-kept secret in White Bear Lake. High school juniors and seniors can take career classes and earn free college credit at NE Metro Career Center in Century College.

Think about this strategy: your high school student can take one class each year as a junior and senior, like EMT, cosmetology and much more. Graduating from high school with living-wage skills in today's job market will enable your son or daughter to make more money right out of high school, which will increase their lifetime earnings.

They could then go on to Century College to complete their AA degree with little debt. Employers are desperate for qualified applicants today, and your son or daughter could make one decision that could affect their entire financial future by getting career skills and training before they leave high school. Employers might be willing to reimburse college tuition to retain an excellent worker.

I taught Digital Design at NE Metro CTC until 2016.

Many of our students who were not succeeding at their home schools found success in the hands-on approach offered at the CTC. Financial literacy begins with the ability to make and save money, and career training is an excellent choice for high school students.

Connie DeMillo White Bear Lake

Candidate will advocate for small business, education Ami Wazlawik is the strongest candidate seeking election to serve as state representative for the people of North Oaks and White Bear Lake. Ami is a lifelong resident of the White Bear area. She is a graduate of White Bear High School, earned degrees from the University of Minnesota in psychology and public policy, and has significant work experience in the White Bear School District.

She supports expanding access to early childhood education, strong state financial support for schools, improving options for learning skilled trades, and affordable college education. She supports common-sense legislation for gun safety, such as universal background checks.

Ami believes we should take action to protect all our natural resources, including water, and invest more in creating renewable energy development and usage.

She knows that ensuring sustainable funding for public infrastructure, including roads, bridges and transit, is very important for the Minnesota economy. She supports high-quality affordable health care for all.

Ami says, “Economic security is vitally important for all people.” She has visited with many business owners to listen to and understand their concerns about the economy. She also has reached out to families to gain a deeper insight into their economic needs. She will be a strong advocate for small businesses and for families in our community.

Lost respect after Senate vote This letter is in response to Gene Johnson's accolades for John McCain (Sept. 19, 2018). I voted for the senator when he ran for president and I acknowledge that there were some high points during his military and political careers. However, it should be noted that during the campaign for his last election, repeal and replacement of the Affordable Care Act was a hot topic and he pledged to his constituents that he would vote to repeal and replace the act. When the close vote was finally taken in the Senate to repeal and replace the act, John McCain ceremoniously strode to the front and dramatically gave a big thumbs down, thus casting the actual vote that blocked the legislation he had pledged to support. It was obvious to me and many others that his action was not in support of his constituents at home or in the Senate, but rather a spite to the president in classic and petty tit-for-tat political action. This action erased any respect I had for him.

Alan Fletcher Mahtomedi

State representative from White Bear Lake, for White Bear Lake Politics today can be hard to deal with. Between what I see on Facebook and on the news, it’s pretty disheartening. There’s a reason I’m excited though, and that’s because of Minnesota House candidate Ami Wazlawik.

Ami is running to represent District 38B in St. Paul.

Ami grew up in White Bear Lake just like me and she cares about things that matter to all of us.

Ami and I both graduated from White Bear Lake High School, and Ami currently works in the school district supporting children and helping them achieve success.

She knows that proper funding and support for education is what keeps our school district a great place to learn, and she’ll fight for funding and reform down in St. Paul. I am a college student at Winona State University, but I registered absentee so I could participate in local democracy in the town that I love.

Local elections are so important, and I can’t wait to cast my first-ever vote for an inspiring candidate like Ami. It means a lot to me that she cares about important issues such as women’s health coverage, mental health care and support for families. Ami is rooted in our community and knows what we need from a representative down in St. Paul.

I am so excited to vote absentee for Ami this November — she cares about White Bear Lake just like me and she will represent us well in St. Paul. Make sure you’re registered to vote here: (https://bit.ly/2yW3sX3).

Think twice in defense of Kaepernick I take issue with Jane Bacon’s defense of Colin Kaepernick. In the United States of America, we stand for our flag and our national anthem. We do so to honor our country and those men and women who have given their lives to preserve our freedom.

America is the least racist country in the world. It is not perfect and like the humans who make up America, it never will be. We can wish for utopia, but it will not happen in this world.

Mr. Kaepernick has the right to mock and disrespect the United States, a country that has afforded him numerous opportunities and riches far beyond what the majority of its citizens can only imagine.

Regarding our long tradition of honoring our flag, Edmund Burke stated it so clearly when he said, a culture and a society are not things run for the convenience of the people who happen to be here right now, but a deep pact between the dead, the living and those yet to be born.

Ms. Bacon, you are defending an ungrateful and disrespectful person. I urge you to think a second time.

Commercial district needs name Citizens of Mahtomedi and Willernie, arise and name downtown.

Stillwater Road is to be rebuilt. Both Mahtomedi and Willernie have contributed so that our small commercial district can be more interesting, more attractive and more economically successful. It will be a great improvement, but we need a name better than “the Mahtomedi/Willernie Downtown” or whatever you call it. This is an unofficial contest to come up with the very best, catchiest, friendliest name for our downtown. Send your ideas to kwolgamot@comcast.net “Downtown Name”.

This is not endorsed by either Willernie or Mahtomedi. You will not become rich or famous (unless you already are). It’s fun. And it might be very helpful.

Initial Ideas: Yes, I know yours will be better: DOWNTOWN – This is inexplicit and boring WILMA – A tribute to Fred Flintstone’s wife WILLEMEDI – MAHNOTENIE – Not true, but tongue in cheek MAHNIE – A reference to what our merchants would like more of MARNIE – Thought by some to be Alfred Hitchcock’s best film EAST SHORE – Traditional and geographic THE FRONT – The historic name (“Mahtomedi Memories”) WILDWOOD – Historic, catchy and almost all ours WILSON – The first platted town in the area, 1860’s LAKESHORE – LAKESIDE – WHITEWASH – A tribute to lake and county EAST VILLAGE – A hint of New York WESTWASH – The capital of western Washington County VILLAGES – Tribute to M, W, Pine Springs, Birchwood, Dellwood BEARPATH – Also a Jack Nicklaus golf course STEVE – No reason. I just like the name PICCADILLY – Interesting, unique, historic DESIRE – Tribute to Tennessee Williams and streetcars THE VILLAGES – Florida retirement, golf and bad behavior CHAUTAUQUA – Our historic start (don’t worry – nobody can spell Mahtomedi or Willernie either!)

E il or mail il suggestions ti tto 1837 Park P k Ave., A M ht Email, Mahtomedi. Let’s have some wonderful or just funny, ideas.

Thanks.

Need leadership in uncertain times We need a proven leader to lead us in these uncertain times.

As I write this letter, I am reminded of the catastrophic event that occurred in New York City 17 years ago this month. Strong, proven leadership stepped in and tried to understand, set up some sort of systematic plans and personnel, to be put into place to handle and oversee the horror, tragedy, death and destruction that was going on, not only in New York City, but in our nation’s capital, our military headquarters, the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania. I cannot imagine the horror, confusion, thoughts and bravery of the people who had to try to solve and deal with the repercussions and events, all happening at roughly the same time. Only because of strong leadership, experience and collaboration did we come out of this horrific turn of events. We came out more united, braver, kinder, more compassionate and stronger!

No matter what “side of the aisle” you’re on, experience, a proven track record and knowledge of government and civic history are vital in our candidates. Patti Anderson has all of these qualities. She served as mayor, was elected Minnesota State Auditor and served as commissioner of State Department Employee Relations.

In addition, Patti has built up a company that employs over 80 people.

My vote will be for someone for whom I have confidence. My vote will be for someone who has experience.

My vote will be for someone who, if another tragedy comes out of nowhere, will be better prepared to cope with it. My vote is important to me. That is why my vote is for Patti Anderson. I hope yours will be too.

Candidate came prepared to forum I confidently recommend Ami Wazlawik for the position of state representative for House District 38B. I recently attended the League of Women Voters forum (thank you LWV!). Issues covered included school safety, health care, omnibus bills, gun control, gerrymandering and others. It was clear that Ami had spent a lot of time talking to area residents to learn about concerns and issues important to them, and then researched the issues and developed plans to address the concerns.

Ami’s comments were well thought out and presented.

Her opponent relied heavily on standard Republican platitudes (reduce regulation, reduce government-funded programs, anti-gun control) and had not thought out specific plans to accomplish goals. Ami had ideas for addressing affordable health care issues, problems stemming from gerrymandering and the measurable benefits of early childhood education, among others.

Ami is a long-term resident of White Bear, an alum of White Bear Lake Area Schools and the University of Minnesota Humphrey School of Public Affairs (Master of Public Policy). I encourage you to vote for Ami Wazlawik for state representative in November.

Nike could have chosen better After reading several responses to Dr. Wolff's article, I can't believe these women think Nike did the right thing, and Kaepernick was just trying to make a point. Really? Why give any kudos to a man who makes millions playing a sport, and while working decides to kneel as a silent protest? How can anyone think this is OK? To remind you what the flag represents: Why we stand for the flag?

“Standing for the flag is not about an empty and thoughtless patriotism. It is a symbol of all of the hopeful things America stands for. It is symbolic of freedoms that many people in our world covet, despite our country's numberless problems, deep idealistic chasms, economic troubles and corrupt politicians.”

Nike could choose, let me think, how about a man like Welles Crowther, who is just an ordinary guy who worked at the World Trade Center and when 911 happened he saved dozens of lives. They found his body six months later in the rubble; his heroism leading people down the stairs to safety, wearing his red bandanna (because of the smoke) his father gave him, saved all of them. An “ordinary person” who is an “extraordinary person.” Don't you want your family and children to aspire to someone like that? There are so many people who are extraordinary, but Kaepernick, who was raised in a Caucasian family with love and opportunities and who plays a game making millions, who decides he is going to protest the flag of the country that gave him this opportunity, is disgusting.

Officer-involved shooting case reopened after cell phone audio overlooked

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — When Darren Jahnke, 47, was shot during a struggle with officers in an RV in the city in spring 2017, an audio recording he took of the incident on his cell phone was not included in the case's determination.

The case had been resolved by the Ramsey County Attorney's Office earlier this year, with no officer charged with wrongdoing in use of force.

The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) was made aware of the cell phone recording taken by Jahnke earlier this month. The evidence had not been properly noted in the case file given to the Ramsey County Attorney for review.

Jahnke began to record audio on his cell phone shortly after he encountered officers and it captured the shooting incident, according to the BCA. “The agent assigned to review the cell phone information reviewed multiple sets of data stored on the phone but did not listen to audio recordings,” the agency stated.

“The BCA’s report to the Ramsey County Attorney

did not reference or include the audio recording. This does not meet our standards for evidence examination and the BCA is reviewing what occurred to determine how to prevent this from happening again.

The BCA agent involved is no longer assigned to the unit that investigates officer involved shootings or homicides.”

The recording has now been turned over to the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office and the case has been reopened.

“This evidence was not submitted by the BCA as a part of their original investigation, and therefore was never considered by prosecutors in our office,” stated the attorney's office. “While it is disappointing that this evidence was not presented to us, we appreciate that the BCA is taking steps to ensure that this does not occur again. Prosecutors are carefully reviewing the audio and have requested that the BCA prepare a written transcript of that audio.”

Investigators reviewed squad video captured at the scene to make its previous determination. Deputies were not wearing body cameras.

Jahnke was shot by a Ramsey County Sheriff's

Office deputy April 13, 2017 during an incident in an RV near Highway 61 and I-694. Two deputies were on routine patrol near when they located the suspicious RV and a car near 3250 Fanum Road at about 9:30 p.m. Two other deputies also arrived at the scene before a struggle with Jahnke ensued. Before Jahnke was shot, two deputies had used tasers during the struggle with Jahnke, according to the BCA. When Jahnke disarmed one of the deputies, Deputy Andre Rongitsch fired. Jahnke was treated and transported to a hospital but died from his injuries.

“Deputy Lisa Daly was fighting for her life after she was tackled to the ground by Darren Jahnke,” stated Ramsey County Attorney John Choi in a memo earlier this year. “Physical evidence including visible injuries to Deputy Daly’s body, a damaged and separated holster, and DNA evidence found on the gun all corroborate the statements given by eyewitness statements.”

The attorney's office is reviewing the audio recording to determine whether the evidence changes the previous determination of the case.

Spa shut down, owner arrested for sex trafficking

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — White Orchid Spa on Whitaker Street in the Lakeside Shops was closed down this month after its owner was arrested for sex trafficking.

White Bear Lake resident Shixun Lan, 52, was charged in Washington County Sept. 13 with three felonies: sex trafficking, promoting prostitution and concealing criminal proceeds.

Lan was arrested after a yearlong investigation by a detective with the East Metro Human Trafficking Task Force, according to court documents.

Detective Kroshus investigated an advertisement on backpage.com associated with a business, Woodbury Wellness, in August 2017. There were also advertisements for Orchid Spa in White Bear Lake.

Lan licensed Woodbury Wellness with the city in May 2017. She was not a licensed massage therapist at the time but was granted approval to operate without providing services herself. White Orchid Spa was licensed in White Bear Lake in 2016, when the city first enacted its massage ordinance.

Kroshus saw more suspicious advertisements in January 2018 on

backpage.com associated with Woodbury Wellness.

He discovered the account posted advertisements across the U.S. from geolocations of Los Angeles and China. Detective Kroshus Shixun Lan also noted the account posted commercial sex ads. Backpage.com has since been seized by the FBI under allegations of being a sexual marketplace and is no longer active.

During the investigation, officers also observed reviews of Woodbury Wellness on a website that reviews illicit massage parlors. Reviews indicated prostitution activity was likely taking place.

The East Metro Human Trafficking Task Force conducted surveillance at the massage business from June through early September this year.

Detectives observed a steady flow of male customers. It appeared one or two females were living at the location.

Detectives also saw Lan transporting female employees from Woodbury Wellness and Orchid Spa to her residence in White Bear Lake and back to the massage parlors in the morning.

After a search warrant was obtained, a covert GPS tracking device was placed on Lan’s vehicle. The GPS

information showed she would often travel between business locations.

Several customers were interviewed during traffic stops after they exited Woodbury Wellness this summer.

A male reported receiving sexual services at the location several times, which he “tipped” the employees for.

He said five or six Chinese women work there. Another male stated that he was not provided sexual services that day, but he has received and been offered sexual acts by two employees at Woodbury Wellness.

In September, detectives were provided information from an off-duty Washington County Sheriff's investigator who saw a female walking out to the back of Woodbury Wellness carrying a black trash bag. As she put the trash bag into the dumpster, some of the contents fell out — including several condom wrappers.

On Sept. 11, simultaneous search warrants were executed at Woodbury Wellness, White Orchid Spa, and the defendant's residence. Detectives observed body fluids in the massage rooms with an ultraviolet light.

Employees on site were interviewed.

An employee at Woodbury Wellness denied providing sexual acts but stated that she was asked to perform them by her customers. Two employees at White Orchid Spa denied providing

direct sexual services but admitted their customers would perform sexual acts during their massages. One employee was a former employee of Therapy Massage located in Mahtomedi. The owner of Therapy Massage has since been sentenced in Washington County for felony promotion of prostitution.

During the execution of the search warrants, Lan was found approaching a Bank of America in Woodbury with More than $7,000 in cash. She was arrested and declined to speak with investigators. Numerous cell phones and documents were recovered from each search location and are expected to undergo forensic examination.

Lan’s initial court appearance will be Sept. 27.

The White Bear Lake City Council suspended White Orchid Spa’s license at its Sept. 18 meeting. The spa is located at 1979 Whitaker St. The White Bear Lake Police Department assisted in the search warrant investigation at White Orchid Spa. “This particular massage establishment has been the subject of suspicious activity for at least the past few years,” stated Police Chief Julie Swanson in a memo to city staff and council. The investigation of White Orchid is ongoing and additional charges are being considered, she added.

Goal! Ice rink for Mahtomedi area

BY LORETTA HARDING CONTRIBUTING WRITER

MAHTOMEDI — If all the legal, municipal and environmental hoops are successfully cleared, and an ice arena is built in Grant a few years from now, future youth hockey mites may not need to be driven to Stillwater or Woodbury at 4 a.m. each morning to practice.

The Mahtomedi City Council at its Sept. 18 meeting heard an update from Alex Rogosheske of RINC 2 on the progress of a future ice rink in the area.

RINC 2, organized by Rogosheske and fellow hockey player Brandon Sampair, stands for Recreation Ice and Neighborhood Center. The name of the proposed rink will be the Mahtomedi Ice Arena, although that's not official, Rogosheske said. The land upon which the rink will be built has been leased for the next 20 years from the school district and is located within the city of Grant. The facility will use Grant sewer and water and will be located across the road from the high school.

Rogosheske and Sampair have lived a combined 60 years in Mahtomedi. The two lifelong residents both grew up skating on outdoor rinks.

They realized that a sheet of skating ice is hard to come by, and that Mahtomedi had no rink, Rogosheske said. Skaters from Mahtomedi must play second fiddle to other cities to use their rinks. Mahtomedi hockey groups have an agreement to use the Stillwater rink until 2020, he said.

The nonprofit 501(c) (3) organization expects to finance all construction and expenses through tax deductible pledges and in-kind donations, according to Rogosheske. If RINC 2 needs financing, funds would not come from a public body. The goal is to pay for the project with donations from individuals, businesses and organizations areawide. No school, city or county

taxes will be used, he said.

The total cost to construct the arena is estimated to be between $11 million and $13 million. To date, RINC 2 has received $37,000 in donations.

Rogosheske has been working on the project for almost four years. “We have done a ton of work with Grant and still have a ton of work to do,” he said. The project has yet to start a major fundraising campaign, which won't get underway until the proper approvals are attained. The project is extremely close to that goal, he added.

“You're right — you have a long ways to go on the revenue raising, and I wish you success,” Councilman Richard Brainerd said.

After all the approvals have been secured and funding raised, the arena will undergo a seven-month construction period.

Only one rink will be built, and that's where all the money will go, Rogosheske said. “I've been told you can't make money with one ice rink, but we're going to have one rink and we're not in it to make money,” he said. The arena will be patterned after the St. Croix rink in Stillwater with a large lobby and several locker rooms. “That is the Taj Mahal plan,” he said. Of course, the luxury of the rink will depend on the funding received.

Should the Taj Mahal version be built, the rink would take up 57,800 square feet and provide seating for 1,200 spectators. The facility would also include four locker rooms, two varsity locker rooms, rooms for coaches, a lobby, concessions, a management office, public restrooms and a mechanical room/Zamboni room.

The rink will be run by an outside management group and be available for the Youth Hockey Association and girls' and boys' varsity teams. Mahtomedi will have first choice, then others. Rogosheske said he

envisions the rink being not just for hockey, but for anything — lacrosse, soccer, gym class, high school graduation exercises, or a gathering place.

Four of the seven members of the Grant Planning Commission are in favor of the rink, he noted, as are three of the five Grant council members.

In 2016, RINC 2 applied for a conditional use permit (CUP) amendment to Grant to request that an ice arena be added as a CUP on the property. In 2016, RINC 2 also finalized a ground lease with the school district, following five presentations to the school board and four to the facilities commission.

“We've done our homework, especially environmentally,” Rogosheske added. Because the arena will sit on a former dump site, its organizers have “completed every single environmental study that can be done,” he said.

The to-do list includes completing the environmental study process, having its CUP application activated from the 120-day waiting period, updating its application, appearing before the Grant Planning Commission, appearing before both city councils, attaining a building permit and raising money for construction.

Council members congratulated Rogosheske on the large amount of work he did. “I think you're doing the right things with an abundance of caution,” Steve Wolgamot said.

City Administrator Scott Neilson said that Mahtomedi would have to give a couple of utilities approvals, even though the arena would be in Grant. The city would also need to amend its comprehensive plan due to the utilities issue.

“It's been fun to watch this grow,” Mayor Judson Marshall said.

“Hopefully, we'll be back to the City Council in December,” Rogosheske said.

SPORTS CENTER: Open for business FROM PAGE 1A

siding and roof, new benches, new restrooms, LED lighting and is ADA compliant. An air exchange system was installed to improve air quality. The project cost $5.5 million, $2.5 million of which the hockey association is financing. The city is paying the remainder.

Hockey Association President Kevin McFarlane said the ice arena looks great. “We are extremely excited to have this ready to go. The timetable is outstanding; it's ready for use when we need it.”

The association representative planned to present a $500,000 check to the city at its Sept. 25 council meeting (after press time) as a first installment.

“Then the focus turns to the next phase

of getting a second rink,” McFarlane said. “The refrigeration system was built big enough for a reason.”

About 900 youth will play hockey in the new Sports Center. It is also home to the White Bear figure skating school.

Alumni Sydney Berrier and Maria Starr, who now skate professionally for Disney on Ice, will perform at 4 p.m. during the open house.

The association president noted the facility took a lot of effort from a lot of people to make it happen. “We are thankful the city acknowledged that the Sports Center was a worthwhile project and supported it,” McFarlane said.

Loon Chronicles III: Old warriors with game “This proved to be another challenging week for spotting Loons on White Bear Lake. We managed to work around the big storms, cloudy days, and high winds and waves to find a few good days on the lake. The early morning Loon parties are definitely a thing of the past. The rafting bachelors remain MIA and are, most likely, en route on the first stage of their fall migration. One morning, we spotted an Eagle hovering and swooping over a small gray bird near the peninsula. As we got closer, we determined that the small gray bird was a “drop in” juvenile Loon, in obvious distress, frantically making its tremolo calls. Len picked up speed and the Eagle beat a hasty retreat back to the peninsula. The juvenile Loon calmed down and went back to fishing. Crisis averted. A few days later, we stumbled upon a trio of Old Warrior Loons, with their battle scars and fading plumage. It was clear to us that these tough old Loons still had game as they put on a show featuring several courtship behaviors that included circling each other, stare downs, and synchronized dives with lots of splashing and hoots. After 20 minutes, one of the three dropped out and the remaining pair swam off together exchanging hoots and tipped bills. The Coots, a/k/a Eagle food, are starting to gather in huge flocks. We think they know there are more Eagles this year, because they are spending their mornings deep in the bulrushes. When out and about, they are clearly on edge and agitated. Their presence should give the remaining Loons on WBL some much needed relief.”

Rush Line's proposed Gem Lake bus station not overly popular

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS EDITOR

GEM LAKE — The idea of rapid transit buses stopping at stations sited at County Road E and Hwy. 61 got mixed reviews last week from city leaders.

Rush Line Project Manager Andrew Gitzlaff, a senior transportation planner with Ramsey County, was looking for input from City Council Sept. 18, noting the station concepts are “taking shape.”

Buses providing all-day service along the 14-mile corridor will stop at 20 proposed stations between St. Paul and White Bear Lake. One of the stations is in Gem Lake.

Gitzlaff reminded city leaders that there are an estimated 100,000 jobs within a 10-minute walk along the corridor and 14 medical facilities.

Rush Line buses will connect riders to the Metro Green Line, Gold Line, local buses and Amtrak service at Union Depot.

The Gem Lake station will have positive benefits, according to Gitzlaff, due to its proximity to the Vadnais Heights Sports Center and proposed development. “This is becoming a good location for a station,” he told council. “It will also potentially have east-west access to Century College and I-35E.” There are challenges to the location. The most obvious is crossing Hwy. 61.

Mayor Bob Uzpen pointed out that 60,000 cars a day use the highway

RUSH LINE | SUBMITTED

Station platforms are tentatively planned near the new Hy-Vee along Hwy. 61 going northbound and in front of the bank going southbound on the Vadnais side. The platforms would be 80 by 20 feet on MnDOT right of way. Buses would drive on a dedicated lane.

and crossing at the intersection is dangerous.

Gitzlaff said the county is aware of the challenge and confident access to the stations will be improved.

“With Hy-Vee coming in, there will be increased demand to connect both sides of E,” he said.

Concerns with parking near the platforms would be alleviated with a small park and ride at the Vadnais Sports Center. A 115-stall ramp is one of the options.

Councilwoman Gretchen Artig-Swomley inquired about the cost

of the project, noting she heard it was $450 million. Gitzlaff said new numbers are coming out this fall.

As for funding, it is a mix of federal and local. The county, through its rail authority levy and transportation sales tax, has funding set aside for the nonfederal part. That accounts for 50 percent of the cost. The rest is through the Federal Transit Administration.

“We have to apply for funding just like other projects throughout the country,” Gitzlaff noted. “The local piece is secured.”

Uzpen asked County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt, who also addressed council as chair of the Rush Line Task Force, whether she believed Gem Lake and Vadnais Heights has the ridership to justify the bus stops.

“Yes,” she replied. “We know the ridership is warranted and will bring people to jobs and economic development along this line.”

The numbers did not merit light rail, she added, which is much more expensive than rapid bus transit.

Artig-Swomley maintained that the Rush Line “doesn't serve our population. There are four houses nearby and the rest have at least a 10-minute walk. And how will people cross 61? That is scary. It seems like a lot of money for a bus line.”

Councilman Len Cacioppo agreed.

“This serves no one in Gem Lake.”

Gitzlaff iterated that planners are working through design of the intersection to improve it. As for ridership, County Road E is expected to have more residential. “The future Bruce Vento Trail will also provide access into Gem Lake,” he said.

The project is expected to take up to 10 years to complete. Currently, the task force is five months into the two-year environmental analysis phase.

When the mayor asked if the station could be pulled from consideration, the answer was “yes.”

RECOVERY: An odyssey FROM PAGE 1A

“I couldn’t react; I couldn’t communicate,”Auger recalled. “My brain was fine. I wanted to shout, ‘no, don’t pull the plug. I’m right the hell here.’ But I couldn’t show proof of life. I was desperately frustrated and angry.”

After going from bad to worse and hitting the characteristic plateau, Auger’s nerves ever so slowly began to mend and regenerate. He was able to raise an eyebrow. His daughter noticed. It was a turning point.

It was proof of life.

“I felt like a damn trick pony,” Auger quipped. “I had to show them I could understand what they were saying.”

An alphabet board and games of charades became main forms of communication.

Only he couldn’t see the board at first. “It took four days for them to understand that I needed my glasses,” Auger recalled. “My wife said sometimes it looked like I hated them. I just hated myself because I was so frustrated.”

Researchers aren’t sure what triggers Guillain Barre, a rare neurological disorder, but it has been linked to upper respiratory infection. Auger said he had pneumonia before contracting the syndrome but didn’t know it. He thought it was a bad cold. “My immune system went crazy trying to deal with the infection and wouldn’t stop.”

His case put him in the 1 percentile bracket for severity yet he never worried the disease would kill him.

His first gleam of hope came early on when retired City Manager Mark Sather, White Bear Lake’s administrator while Auger was mayor, visited him in the hospital.

“He leaned over and whispered, ‘I don’t know if you can hear me, but I want you to know Guillain Barre is rarely fatal. People eventually get better.’ I just reminded Mark what he said to me that day. He said he didn’t know if I heard him. I told him I heard everything. I told him that carried me through.”

Auger said he had “quite a few discussions with my Maker” when he was paralyzed.

“I became unafraid of death. I’ve always been spiritual. I’ve been in AA for 15 years and I’ve learned a lot about life and spirituality. If you have faith, you believe the spirit lives on. I started thinking that death isn’t much worse. I had no awareness of my body. I was just a brain, just thoughts. I thought, well, if this is what it’s like after we’re gone, I’m not afraid of death.”

Vivid dreams also perpetually picked up where they left off whenever he slept. It got to the point he preferred sleep in order to return to the reality he lived in his dreams. “It kept me occupied,” Auger said.

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Paul Auger, owner of Auger’s Garage, can walk with a cane now but still needs support in his lower extremities. He goes to the garage most every day to mentor his mechanics and troubleshoot car problems.

“I dreamed I could walk and my hands worked fine.

I drove a car. My brain was keeping me entertained.

Otherwise, the depression would have been terrible. I was trapped in my head.

“It’s been quite an odyssey. I could write a book.”

Auger’s long ordeal has included more than the paralysis. He also suffered blood clots in his lung, kidney stones and a shattered hip when he fainted at the garage and fell. That earned him a new hip.

Still in physical therapy, Auger is able to walk with a cane. He doesn’t have complete control of his ankles; metal plates in his shoes keep the joints from dropping, and his feet and hands lack feeling. He doesn’t drive yet, but he’s getting close. “I need more feedback in my feet,” Auger said.

His goals are to return to work. “I’m not ready to retire. I’ve been sitting on my ass for a year and eight months now,” Auger maintained. He also wants to teach his young grandsons how to play soccer and throw a baseball. He did the same for daughter Allison’s three children, who are teenagers now and “don’t need grandpa like they used to. I have to get back 100 percent so I can do the same with (youngest daughter) Lindsay’s kids. They are incentive to keep going.”

A 98 percent recovery for Guillain Barre takes an average of 18 months, according to Auger. Due to the severity of his paralysis, his convalescence is taking a tad longer.

“Recovery seems slow,” Auger said, “but each time I can do something new on my own, it’s a wonderful thing. I know I’m lucky to be alive.”

The former mayor added some last words of gratitude. “I want to thank the Press for keeping the good people of White Bear informed on me. That’s been wonderful, even though some people thought I had died. They were pleasantly surprised to learn I hadn’t.

And I want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I want them to know it worked.”

Township approves lower tax levy, raises utility rates

BY MAGGIE STANWOOD CONTRIBUTING WRITER

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — Though residents approved a preliminary tax levy of $3.86 million at a town meeting in March, the amount will be lower.

The White Bear Town Board approved a 2019 preliminary tax levy of $3.78 million during its regular meeting Sept. 17. A tax levy determines the amount of property tax levied against homes in the township. The effect the levy has on a home depends on its value.

For a home in White Bear Township whose value increased by 4.1 percent, city property taxes would increase between $56 and $140. The median home is valued at $265,000.

Once finalized by the board, a levy can be lower than the preliminary amount but cannot exceed it.

The levy would put the tax rate at a little more than 24 percent, which would be the third-lowest rate in the county, Finance Officer Tom Kelly said at the meeting.

The levy was lowered due to changes in the project budget, including a decrease in the police budget, lowered consulting fees, a reduced election contract and more.

The township’s net tax capacity also increased 5.53 percent to more than $14.4 million, the highest it’s been

since 2008, Kelly said. Net tax capacity is the taxable market value of a property multiplied by its tax rate — in this case, the total within the township.

The preliminary levy in 2018 was $3.5 million and the final levy was $3.2 million.

There will be a meeting on the budget on Dec. 11.

In other action at the Sept. 17 meeting, the board: • Raised utility rates for 2019. For water, the base rate will be $21.25 and is currently $20.50. For residential sewer, the rate will be $51 as opposed to the current rate of $50.80. For commercial sewer, the rate will be $45.15 and is currently $45. For stormwater, the rate will be $21 and is currently $20. The new rates are estimated to generate revenues of a little less than $1.9 million. Residents would see an increase of $5.60 to $88.77 in utility bills, depending on water usage.

• Approved the construction of a garage at 5605 Hugo Road.

• Amended the zoning ordinance to allow for a “maker space” at 5966 Highway 61. The maker space would be a club where members could use the building for woodworking or other crafts.

• Made the final payment to Hydro-Klean LLC in the amount of $61,600 for the southeast area sewer relining project. The final payment brought the total

construction cost to $956,000. The project came in under budget and the cost was assessed to benefitting properties.

• Awarded a quote to Jeanetta & Sons Excavating in the amount of $12,500 for improvements to the stormwater system between two homes on Stillwater Street. TKDA will perform construction observation in an amount not to exceed $2,900. The funding will come from the stormwater utility fund.

• Authorized TKDA to prepare a pavement management plan in an amount not to exceed $36,800 to organize planning, funding and communication of street improvement projects. The plan is expected to be done

by December 2018. Funding will come from the 505 improvement fund, an account set up specifically for improvements to the southeast side of town.

• Authorized TKDA to complete data collection, including field surveys and geotechnical exploration, for improvements to the southeast area streets in an amount not to exceed $25,500. The collection is expected to be done at the end of the year. Funding will come from the 505 improvement fund.

• Awarded a quote to Fresh Paint Inc. in the amount of $8,775 to paint the interior and exterior of the Bellaire Beach House with funding from the parks and recreation account.

LOOKING BACK Week of September 23 – September 29, 2018 Culled from the archives of the White Bear Press at the resource library of the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society.

1918 Report of the Tag Day – White Bear Lake, Bald Eagle and all points touching White Bear Lake. $423.93 collected in White Bear and Bald Eagle. Twenty taggers under the direction of Mrs. J. S. Hartman were very successful…

1943 Tonite thru Monday, Sept. 27, the White Bear theatre is showing “So Proudly We Hail.” It is the fi rst dramatic love story of our women at war. Seeing three stars as famous as Claudette Colbert, Paulette Goddard and Veronica Lake in three great romances in one picture certainly is a treat.

1968 In a special letter to the White Bear Township officials this week, White Bear Lake Mayor Milton Knoll Jr. commented that “everyone agrees that merging the city and the township is inevitable and desirable.” The letter called for the formation of a joint citizen’s committee consisting of three Township and three City residents to study the possibilities of expediting the merger.”

WHITE BEAR LAKE AREA HISTORICAL SOCIETY | SUBMITTED

White Bear Theatre at the corner of Banning Avenue and Third Street.

1993 The historic red caboose sitting near Mattlin’s Appliances of Highway 61 now officially belongs to White Bear Lake. North Star Bank of White Bear Lake bought the caboose for $10,000 from owner Brian Mullaney, and will donate it to the city.

Looking Forward to the Past Upcoming Historical Society Events The White Bear Lake Area Historical Society along with Signature Sponsor, Grandma’s Bakery and Supporting Sponsors Press Publications and NewStudio Architecture present …

LETTERS: Continued FROM PAGE 5A

Support Mahtomedi school levy I saw the levy support letter in the White Bear Press and agree with its premise about the need for educating our children to become contributing citizens to our society.

Since arriving in our community in the middle '60s to be a mathematics instructor at Mahtomedi High School, hundreds of students have graduated during my 30-plus years career. I still live here and see many of these graduates at various community events and gatherings who have returned to this area to make their homes and bring up their families.

The necessity of a sufficient educational program and facility is self-evident, as per our state constitution.

We support and will vote for this levy request for additional educational funding. I do not support the idea of delaying funding for educating our children.

If not now, when? Ten years from now when our fi rst-graders are 16 years old? At that point in time we will have lost them educationally.

Support education! Vote Yes 832.

Jerry Linser Grant

Support Becker-Finn We are living in a very chaotic political time. Now is the time we need competent and mature leaders to represent us at all levels. On Election Day in November, I encourage you to support Minnesota state Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn for District 42A (parts of Roseville and Shoreview and all of Little Canada, Gem Lake, and Vadnais Heights). Jamie has served her fi rst two-year term and impressed me with her fi rm grasp of the issues and strong advocacy for priorities that impact our district. As a Hennepin County assistant district attorney who supports victims of domestic violence, she has a toughness that comes in handy at the state Capitol. Her advocacy for clean water is based from her upbringing in northern Minnesota, where she learned to hunt and fish. She supports common-sense measures to prevent gun violence that are long overdue, such as universal background checks. As a mom of two children, she

is interested in making sure that all kids have a chance to learn to their full potential starting with opportunities for pre-kindergarten programs all the way through affordable higher education.

Jamie was very impressive at the Sept. 6 candidate forum convened by the League of Women Voters.

Unlike a lot of politicians, she gives straight answers to direct questions and does her homework.

At a time when it seems that elected leaders in Washington and St. Paul don’t want to take responsibility to solve big problems, Jamie Becker-Finn is just the person we need representing us in District 42B. Patrick O'Neill Vadnais Heights

Need dialogue on climate change Climate stories have been in the news the past few weeks. As I write this, we are having a September heat wave, an algae bloom on Lake Superior, record high overnight lows this past summer and Hurricane Florence is thrashing the Carolinas. I just searched the Star Tribune and found more than 30 articles pertaining to clean energy or climate change in the past week.

However, even with the prevalence of stories in the news, we still find it hard to discuss climate change with friends and family. This is likely due to the current political environment where climate change has become a divisive issue complete with finger-pointing and name calling.

A recent national survey by Yale University shows 70 percent of Minnesotans acknowledge climate change is happening and 86 percent of Minnesotans favor funding research into renewable energy. The numbers are surprisingly similar across all states.

This data should give everyone some confidence that climate change is not as divisive as politicians make it appear. Recognizing climate change as a problem that needs to be solved rather than arguing its validity, a consensus reached by virtually all scientists years ago, allows us to thoughtfully plan how to achieve the necessary emission reductions.

Thankfully, Minnesota is leading the way in converting to clean energy. Close to 50 percent of our state’s electricity comes from non-carbon-emitting sources (25 percent renewable and 23 percent

nuclear). The Minnesota EPA has set goals to reduce carbon emissions to 30 percent below 2005 levels by 2025 and 80 percent below 2005 by 2050. We are currently on track to reach these goals. Transitioning to a clean energy economy has additional benefits such as cleaner air, energy security and high-paying jobs.

Today I am asking you to let your representatives know how you feel about climate change and find where your candidates stand before voting this November. Policymakers say they don’t hear from their constituents often enough about climate change. Let’s start talking more openly and keep Minnesota’s clean energy initiatives rolling.

Steven Jorissen Vadnais Heights

Not all views find a publisher The Sept. 12 commentary by Tom Stangl, “Constitutional right to free speech comes at a price,” was somewhat misleading. While the First Amendment does guarantee that people, including Alex Jones, have a right to state their views, it does not guarantee that all views will find a publisher. That is, book and newspaper publishers, radio station owners and managers, editors and producers are the people who control what gets published or aired via their respective venues. Often, they are influenced by their consumers and their advertisers.

For example, some time ago, many radio stations dropped Rush Limbaugh from their programming because of incendiary comments he made on air. When advertisers withdrew their ads from radio stations because of Limbaugh’s remarks, station managers dropped Limbaugh. These were simple business decisions.

Likewise, social media companies have user agreements and community standards that guide their decisions about what they will disseminate through their sites. In following their stated policies, they are not taking away anyone’s free speech, they are simply upholding their protocols.

If private media companies did not have the right to decide what they would publish or air, we would all be guaranteed book deals and radio shows.

Bears generate 28 points in 2nd quarter, beat Stillwater 37-21

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

White Bear Lake erupted with four touchdowns in the second quarter on the way to a 37-21 victory over the Ponies on Friday evening, Sept. 21 in Stillwater.

Cooper Anderson hit 12 of 16 passes for 230 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.

Dominic Smith snagged eight of them for 177 yards and both TDs. The Bears (3-1) trailed 7-6 at the fi rst stop, but led 34-13 after halftime. The big second quarter included two touchdowns each by Smith on passes of 40 and 58 yards, and by Zach Griebel on runs of 13 and 15 yards.

“We just executed really well and we made plays on the perimeter,” coach Ryan Bartlett assessed. “Everything just clicked for a while

there, we got some momentum and just kept going. Dominic Smith had a huge night.”

Griebel gained 72 yards in 19 carries as the Bears totaled 156 ground yards. Andrew Kleist had the fi rst TD on a 1-yard plunge. Nick Blanding kicked four of five extra points and a 27-yard field goal. Kevin Boeing caught two passes for 50 yards. Brice Peters rushed 14 times for 48 yards.

White Bear Lake tennis has a 2-6 record after losing to Cretin-Derham Hall 5-2 in their lone match last week.

Winning three-set matches were Elaine Fanta at No. 1 singles and Abby Fanta/ Olivia Treichel at No. 3 doubles.

“It has been a tough season so far with the wins not coming our way. But we are a team that competes every match,” coach Jackson Farley said. “We are leaving it all on the court.”

Franta, a senior, is solid at the top spot with a 5-3 record. “You are usually playing the best player from the other school and there is no easy match at that position,” Farley said.

White Bear Lake volleyball had a good showing Saturday when they won two, lost one and tied two in the Henry Sibley tournament.

The Bears are 5-7-2 after also losing to top-10 ranked conference rivals Stillwater and Forest Lake last week.

“I could not be more proud of the heart and determination my team has displayed time and time again this season,” coach Mike Alexander said.

“We have a group of girls who are focused on much more than wins or losses. They are building a legacy to leave for future players that will empower them to believe that they can and will succeed.”

Senior libero Anikka Koll is having a season worthy of all-state consideration, the coach said.

Fielding serves and spikes and passing to the setter, Koll has a 2.3 average for the season with a high of 2.7 against Minneapolis South in a close 3-2 loss on Sept. 13. (Perfect is 3.0.)

In a duel of unbeatens, St. Thomas Academy’s vaunted defense shut down Mahtomedi 21-0 on Friday evening. The No. 6 ranked Cadets (4-0) have allowed just seven points in four games.

Mahtomedi (3-1) was limited to 18 yards passing and 99 rushing. Most of the Zephyr offense came on Erik Bjork’s straight-ahead runs for 103 yards in 21 carries.

The Zephyrs had passed for nine touchdowns in their first three games. Against the Cadets, Jake Arlandson was 4-for-9 for 13 yards and gave up the team’s first interception. Tyler Tangwall caught three for 17 yards.

STA’s Brendan McFadden dominated with 21 carries for 168 yards and two touchdowns from four and 45 yards. Jon Deyak notched the other touchdown on a quarterback sneak.

Mahtomedi’s Ian Dougherty made a strip-sack of the Cadet quarterback and recovered the ball on the Cadet 30 in the first quarter, but the Zephyrs couldn’t score, with Cadet linebacker Tim Wright throwing Arlandson for losses twice.

Cole McCarver, Bjork, Collin Grandstrand, Dean Trowbridge and Sam Bell were the leading tacklers for Mahtomedi.

Mahtomedi will host South St. Paul (2-2) next Friday.

On the hunt for healthy smiles!

Dominic Smith broke loose for two long touchdowns, covering 40 and 58 yards, on passes from Cooper Anderson to help White Bear Lake football defeat Stillwater 37-21 on Friday. The 6-3 senior wide receiver snagged eight passes in all for 177 yards.

For the season, Smith has 19 catches for 337 yards and four touchdowns.

A reasonable estimate of the impact of the assessments will be available at the hearing.

The proposed assessment roll is now on file and open to public inspection by all interested persons in the office of the Town Clerk. Each of these assessments will be payable, unless prepared, in ten equal, annual consecutive installments, the first such installment will be payable with the general taxes payable in the year 2019, collectable with such taxes during the year 2019.

The first installment will be payable with interest at the rate of 3.8% per annum on the entire assessment from October 15, 2018 to December 31, 2019, and each subsequent installment will be payable with one year’s interest at said rate on all unpaid installments.

The general nature of the improvement is set forth as follows: improvements to Centerville Road north of County Road 96, including street re-construction and appurtenances thereto.

The total amount to be assessed is $75,000.00.

An owner may appeal an assessment to the District Court pursuant to Section 429.081 of Minnesota Statutes, by serving Notice of the appeal upon the Chair of the Town Board or the Clerk of the Town within thirty (30) days after the adoption of the assessment and filing such notice with the Clerk of the District Court within ten (10) days after service upon the Town Board Chair or Town Clerk providing 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. Sections 435.193 to 435.195 provide that a Town making a special assessment may, at its discretion, defer the payment of that special assessment for any homestead property owner by a person 65 years of age or older from whom it would be a hardship to make the payments.

The Town of White Bear has elected to defer some special assessments and has adopted Ordinance No. 53 establishing the standards and guidelines.

OBITUARY NOTICES

Buster Clarence B Cl Hart H Age 95, BC died at home peacefully Sept. 15, 2018.

Preceded in death by parents Alfreda and Harry Henry Hart; infant brother Bobby Joe and identical twin brother B. (“Bud”) Warren Hart.

Survived by loving wife Jean Elmquist Hart; devoted children Nannette, Kyle (Holly), Charles and Charlotte (Timothy Massad); dear grandchildren Kiernan, Anne, Taylor, Henry, Sky, Valora, Emil, Aurora and Jayne. Born in Promise City, Iowa, Mar. 19, 1923. Graduated Rapid City (SD) High School (1940), Univ. of Iowa (1947), Harvard Law School (1950).

BC voluntarily interrupted college to enlist in WWII. Assigned to the 42nd Infantry “Rainbow” Division, he participated in Task Force Linden which repulsed Germany’s final attempted offensive near Strasbourg, France, January 1945. BC’s 222nd Regiment was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism. Rainbow regiments then advanced across the German border pushing to Munich. BC earned a Bronze Star Medal (courage and daring in hand delivery of a tactical message through enemy territory, under fire and at night), and Bronze Star Medal-Oak Leaf Cluster (exemplary conduct in ground combat). Outside Munich, the 42nd encountered the Dachau concentration camp.

BC was in a second group entering Dachau within an hour of liberation, and among the first outside eyewit-

nesses to its full Nazi horrors.

After WWII, BC returned to the University of Iowa, graduating Phi Beta Kappa, then attended Harvard Law School. Following Harvard, a clerkship with Minnesota Supreme Court Justice Clarence Magney was cut short by the Korean War, where BC served as a Judge Advocate. He remained active in the US Army Reserves, Judge Advocate General Corps, until retiring in 1983 as a Lt. Colonel.

Following the Korean War, BC entered private law practice in St. Paul. He became a partner in Briggs and Morgan, including a term as president of the firm. In 1983, BC founded his own law firm, Hart and Bruner, specializing in construction disputes, surety and insurance law. He completed his career as a senior partner with Fabyanske Westra Hart & Thomson.

BC deeply involved himself in professional and civic organizations including: the Am. College of Trial Lawyers; Am. College of Construction Lawyers; Am. Bar Association; Am. Bd. of Trial Advocates; Fidelity and Surety Law Committee of Tort & Insurance Practice Section; Junior Chamber of Commerce; and United Way. Handsome and dashing, BC broke hearts on both sides of the Atlantic until falling in love at first sight with Jean Elmquist at the home of a mutual friend. They married on May 20, 1955, raising their children in White Bear Lake. BC loved hunting, fishing and dancing.

Cowboy hat on, BC learned to downhill ski and enjoyed ski vacations with his family. Each summer for now 50 years, a special family place was their cabin on 7 Eagles Island on Lake Namakan in northern MN. BC devotedly watched the Vikings with family, consuming his favorite popcorn and milk. Special thanks to the Vikes for winning BC’s final game (49ers on Sept. 9).

BC lived a remarkable life. Growing up, his family

eked out a farm/ranch existence lacking indoor electricity and plumbing, surviving drought and the Great Depression. Hard-working cowboy children, BC and his twin Bud found time to become top students, championship debaters and baton twirling drum majors. They pursued their education from a one-room rural schoolhouse to Harvard Law School. A fiercely competitive nature—whether battling for our country or representing law clients—was matched only by BC’s extraordinary graciousness. No person or conversation was too small or unimportant for his undivided attention. BC was a source of continuous joy, inspiration and great stories (he had many to tell) to his family and all who knew him.

From The Cowboy’s Prayer (Clem McSpadden): “We do ask Lord, that you will help us live our lives here on earth as cowboys, in such a manner, that when we make that last inevitable ride, to the country up there, where the grass grows lush, green, and stirrup high, and the water runs cool, clear, and deep, that you'll take us by the hand and say - ‘Welcome to Heaven cowboy, your entry fees are paid.’”

BC more than earned his entry fees. And while he is dearly missed, we find comfort that BC has been reunited with his twin brother Bud. Back astride favorite childhood ponies Ribbon, Dixie and Trixie, they are embarking anew on cowboy adventures over the wild western lands of our country they so loved.

Service Saturday, October 6, 11 a.m. at St. John in the Wilderness, 2175 First St., White Bear Lake.

Visitation 9:30-11:00 a.m. at the church. Private Family burial. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred to Wounded Warrior Project or The Friends of the St. Paul Public Library.

BUSINESS BRIEF

15B

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

CHAMBER | SUBMITTED

The Mazda leadership team (from left): Masahiro Moro, president and CEO of Mazda North American Operations, Andrew Walser, Thane Hawkins and Paul Walser.

Dealership rolls out new showroom Walser Polar Mazda celebrated completion of its new “retail evolution store” Sept. 20 in White Bear Lake.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, attendees heard from the leadership team, toured the new showroom and checked out the latest Mazda vehicles.

According to co-owner Thane Hawkins, the showroom is the first for Mazda's new image program to be built from the ground up. “It's a pretty big deal,” he said.

Mazda flew in representatives from Japan to attend the grand opening.

The carmaker wants more of its dealers to make the same commitment, Hawkins added, and offers incentive money to build according to its brand specifications.

A customer appreciation event was held Saturday.

City makes top 10 best towns

Grant application deadline nears

The city of White Bear Lake has been selected a Top 10 Best MN Town. Because of photos and written submissions from various community boosters, the editorial team of Minnesota Monthly named White Bear Lake a finalist. The winner — the town that best embodies the “Spirit of Minnesota” — will be decided by popular vote. People can vote 10 days per day at www.BestMNTown.com. Select White Bear Lake in the list, enter your email and submit. Voting runs through Oct. 12. The public vote will make up 25 percent of the score for each finalist, with 75 percent coming from a panel of “notable” Minnesotans. The winner, announced Dec. 5, gets a party and a multipage editorial feature valued at more than $50,000. The other finalists are Eden Prairie, Fergus Falls, Little Falls, New Ulm, Northfield, Roseville, St. Cloud, Wabasha and Waconia.

The Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation reminds local groups that applications for grants are due to the foundation

by Oct. 5. Community groups are invited to submit proposals for projects or programs that serve people who live or work in the greater White Bear Lake area.

Grants will range from $1,000$5,000. To discuss an idea for a project or for information on how to apply, contact Jackie Reis, jackier@greaterwblfoundation.org or 651-408-5412.
