City manager retires with few regrets City names new manager

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

"You must have a supportive spouse in this job," said the retiring city manager.

In an exit interview at City Hall before he calls it quits, Sather was candid about his 31 years as city manager; the hard decisions, the goals that remain unfulfilled and

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Mayor Jo Emerson named Ellen Richter as the city's new manager during a special City Council meeting Saturday, Dec. 5.

Richter, the current assistant city Richter i h manager, will replace Mark Sather, who is retiring Dec. 11 after 31 years of service.

The council took about 10 minutes to name a candidate from four finalists: Scott Neilson, Mahtomedi city administrator; Steve Nasby, Windom city administrator, Joel Hanson, administrator for the city of Little Canada; and White Bear Lake's Richter.

Council members said they were satisfied with the search process led by the mayor and that Richter was clearly the preferred candidate.

A White Bear Lake resident, she has served as assistant city manager since 2013 and held the title assistant to the city manager from 1992 to 1997 and again from 2006 to 2013. During the interim, Richter noted that she was home with children but remained active with schools and districtwide initiatives.

Emerson thanked the council members for assisting in the selection process, calling the job they did "supportive and outstanding." In return, members indicated the process went as well, or better, than expected. All said they felt secure with their decision.

Mark Sather is used to working around stacks of paper in his City Hall office. After 31 years, White Bear Lake’s city manager is retiring. His last day is Dec. 11.

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

Running a city like White Bear Lake comes with a calendar full of nightly meetings, which makes evenings at home rare. But a tip from a former co-worker at his first manager's job was something

Mark Sather took to heart. He always tried to be home for dinner.

It may have saved his marriage.

The fact Sather and wife Maureen are still married after 40 years in city management is one of two accomplishments of which he is most proud. The second is that they've successfully raised two children.

Senate bonding committee gets tutorial on lake levels

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS REGIONAL EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — Mostly, the questions involved the logistics of running a 3.8-mile pipeline from Vadnais Lake to White Bear.

Those asking were members of the Senate Capital Investment Committee, who traveled to District 43 Dec. 1 to hear three bonding proposals. The first stop was the VFW, where five senators listened to a short presentation from Friends of White Bear Lake, a local group lobbying for augmentation, followed by a question-and-answer session.

Friends' spokesman Jim Markoe showed the group aerial photos of the lake, pointing out shallow areas, exposed shoreline and the closed

county beach. The Lake Homeowners Association president zeroed in on a canoe launch that now requires "bushwhacking" 150 feet to reach the water and a boat ramp on Commercial Bay that used to have an hour wait. "Now you can launch anytime, if you can get your boat in there," he said.

Markoe told the senators that trees and shrubs are growing where there used to be water.

"We're making new land and permanently changing the size of the lake.

It's important to get water back in and reclaim the bottom for the people of Minnesota."

Sen. LeRoy Stumpf (Dist. 1-DFL), committee chairman, asked about the source of supplemental water and how it would be linked. Markoe explained SEE AUGMENTATION, PAGE 9A

School district seeks state funds for community center

BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — School district leaders are asking for $15 million in state bonding funds to build a “community achievement center.”

The center would house educational, health and social services for families with young children. The White Bear Lake School District would own the state-funded center and lease space to partnering service providers. A location for the prospective center is still to be determined.

District officials made a pitch for the center to members of the Senate Capital Investment Committee on Nov. 1 when the group visited the district's administration center. The senators were touring the state to review

“IF WE PLEASE YOU, TELL OTHERS. IF NOT, TELL US.”

funding requests for inclusion in the upcoming session's bonding bill.

The district would offer programs for young children and adults at the community center. Examples include preschool, early childhood family education, adult basic education and English language classes for immigrants.

Four prospective partners have indicated interest in having a presence at the center. Northeast Youth and Family Services might provide mental health services. HealthPartners might open a medical clinic. The White Bear Area Emergency Food Shelf might have a food pantry. And Ramsey County Human Services might open an office with its assistance programs.

RETIREMENT: Mark Sather said he’s proudest of his caring staff FROM PAGE 1A

the long hours required.

The marina triangle redevelopment was high on the list of controversial resolutions. “There was a lot of opposition to the project and on many occasions, it got personal,” Sather said.

“You have to develop a thick skin.”

A legacy Sather will leave behind are rules of management his staff refer to as “Satherisms.” Some are tongue in cheek; some are experience based.

“The one that’s important to me is the crowded-council-chamber test,” he said. “Picture yourself standing in front of a full council chamber. Can you look people in the eye and tell them what you think is best for the city without getting sweaty palms or looking for the side door?

If you can’t, you weren’t adequately prepared.”

The Boatworks deal is a good example, Sather added. “You walk into a standing-room-only council and they [the opposition] have everything but pitchforks and torches and you think, ‘this will be interesting.’

The Boatworks decision was hard. We knew the day we recommended buying the land that this would be one of the hardest things the council did. Does it mean you’re looking for the side door? No, we were ready. The crowded-council-chamber test was ready to be run.”

It’s evident Sather spends a lot of time preparing his recommendations to council judging by the stacks of reports and folders consuming his office. He also has a unique claim to fame in that department. He has read all the city minutes dating from 1881 to present.

“I found a lot of fascinat-

ing stuff in the minutes,” he said. “There was a bowling alley next to the Armory, for example, that belonged to the city. They bought used equipment.

I love that. That’s how we keep our taxes down.”

Known for being fiscally conservative, Sather walks the talk.

He drives a ‘98 Saturn that he’s quick to note gets 41 miles per gallon. He has an uncanny memory for tax levies and budget figures and he prides himself on cost reductions across the board.

“We buy used squad cars, rebuilt fire trucks and used plow trucks. We enjoy doing stuff like that to keep the city’s costs down,” Sather said. “When something is broke, you fix it. You don’t always buy new stuff.”

The city manager said fixing an assessment policy that was “out of touch” was a significant success during his tenure.

“We used to have hearings on street improvement projects at the city auditorium because so many people were mad,” Sather recalled. “We had to build a financial system that would take care of the infrastructure, yet assess a level that people felt was reasonable and fair. Now hardly anyone speaks at a hearing except maybe to say ‘thank you.’”

A penchant for frugality likely stems from his childhood. Sather was 17 when his father died of leukemia.

“He left a widow and six kids and no money,” Sather recalled. “We all helped out. I worked multiple jobs to pay my way through college at Mankato State and graduate school. I really had to manage my money, but I was debt free when I got out.”

Sather, who grew up in Minneapolis, has worked in just three cities during his career in administration, all with home rule charter: St. Louis Park, Waseca and White Bear Lake. In each case, the city manager position has authority, but no job security.

Normal tenure is three to four years for a city manager, he said.

“When I came here, I figured I’d stick around maybe five years. Then Maureen and I fell in love with the place. The kids were doing well, running with good kids from families who cared about education. We said, ‘we’re not going to mess with that.’”

What people may not know about the longtime city manager is he likes to work with his hands.

“It’s very therapeutic for me,” Sather said. He particularly enjoys restoring old wooden boats. He has a 1946 mahogany Century runabout, a ‘65 Melges C scow and a Hugo rowboat built in 1950, the year Sather was born. He and son Elliot refinished a 1946 Thompson cedar canoe that required curing in the living room, the only heated space available.

“I still have a secretary’s ‘while you were away’ note that said my wife called to say 24 guests are coming for Thanksgiving and to get the canoe out of the living room,” he said.

Sather also has an ice boat and a scary story to go with it that gave him a new appreciation for hypothermia. On Dec. 31, 2011, he broke through thin ice on White Bear Lake while sailing the boat and struggled to get out, his heavy clothes weighing him down. Luckily a fisherman spotted him and managed to throw a rope. It left him

Retirement reception A retirement celebration for Mark Sather is 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 12 at the White Bear Lake Armory, 2228 Fourth St. There will be light appetizers and cash bar hosted by the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce. with an ice phobia, he said.

Restoring old boats fits Sather’s philosophy for the city, as well.

“I like taking something old and keeping it alive. It’s like our downtown. We’re lucky to have these stores.

We have all the right ingredients. A high school with our name, a homecoming parade through downtown.

There is a strong sense of community here and being part of that is what you get out of this job. I hope the next city manager sees it that way.”

On the professional side of the accomplishment question, Sather said he’s most proud of his staff.

He feels gratification in building a staff of city employees who convey a sense that they care.

“We focus on customer service and bring in people proud to work in White Bear Lake. We make sure our residents know we care about them,” Sather noted.

“I try to take some credit for that.”

Does he have any regrets from his decades of city service? “Not completing the Bruce Vento regional bicycle/pedestrian trail

from St. Paul to White Bear Lake,” Sather replied.

The lake level issue has also consumed much of his time the last few years.

“We have a lot of public education to do. If someone has to pony up a lot of money (to fix the lake), it has to be more than five communities,” Sather said. “There has to be equity. That’s where I’ve had to defend the interests of White Bear residents without sounding like we don’t care about the lake. Like I’ve said many times, our first concern is protection of the aquifer.

The lake has risen and fallen several times in my time here. I’ve seen it lower than it is today. Surface water is a solution, but I don’t think it will result in us changing our wells.”

So what’s in store after retirement? Mark and Maureen, married 43 years, will probably spend more time in a warmer climate per Maureen’s wishes. She retired two years ago after 30 years as a licensed practical nurse with Health Partners.

They’ll travel more to San Francisco, of course, where their two children live in

NEW MANAGER: Unanimous choice FROM PAGE 1A

“We have selected a very fine candidate who will bring credit to our community,” the mayor said. “She is experienced and she is intelligent.

She will be a very good city manager.

We are lucky to have her.”

After the 5-0 vote, Councilman Dan Jones brought up the issue of salary. He felt a salary of $125,000, as listed in a summary of employment terms, was too low. “It’s important to me that the city manager should

be the highest-paid city employee,” Jones maintained, and encouraged the council to consider bumping up the figure. It was noted that the average salary in 2015 for metro city managers with a population of 18,000 to 35,000 is $134,000. White Bear Lake’s public works director makes $133,000. The mayor said the manager’s salary will be discussed at the Dec. 8 City Council meeting.

Community Foundation

L

ast Thursday night was the kickoff for the Greater White Bear Lake Community Foundation that has been created to serve the communities that share the shoreline of White Bear Lake. A group of people who saw a need for a non-profit that could benefit local initiatives and priorities came together to establish the foundation. The board is made up of volunteers from Dellwood, Mahtomedi, Birchwood Village, White Bear Township and White Bear Lake.

When an individual or a family has money they want to give to support their charitable interests, this community foundation can Publisher’s help by distributing the funds annually to numerous causes based View on the wishes of the donor. This Carter Johnson is the easiest way to give to multiple entities you love, unlike other groups that are specific to a cause.

The foundation is not just a fundraising organization, but rather an asset management group for donors. Today some of the same individuals who didn’t initially support the idea are now founding members. The communities of Shoreview, Vadnais Heights and Woodbury have established community foundations in recent years. Though the kick-off event was an informational meeting with no financial request, one individual in attendance shook my hand and said he’ll be sending a hefty check. As you prepare for your future I hope you consider including the community foundation in your plans for charitable giving. For more information contact director Jackie Reis at jackier@ wblfoundation.org .

Sex Offender ordinance Last week the Mahtomedi city council adopted an ordinance limiting where Level 3 sex offenders can live, at the request of hundreds of residents who signed a petition. Unlike Birchwood, where the Mayor refused to participate in the discussion and the council members acted in fear of legal repercussions, Mahtomedi quickly took action on what their residents were requesting. According to the Department of Corrections, Level 3 Sex offenders are not allowed to live in apartment buildings where children live, yet in Birchwood they are allowed to live within feet of a community park where children play. If you think this doesn’t makes sense, reach out to your mayor and city council members to explore how a local ordinance may impact your community.

A special guest Our guest of honor over the holidays this year is my wife’s 97 year-old grandmother. Grandpa passed away in September, and we moved her from Connecticut. Grandma and Grandpa lived in their Danbury, CT home for more than 50 years. Grandpa raised Christmas trees on their property.

It was just a couple of years ago that he told his customers he wasn’t going to plant any more saplings. One family offered to come in the fall and plant saplings for him, which they did. He allowed long-time customers to continue to take a tree right up through last year. After grandpa’s obituary ran in the paper, a woman sent my mother-in-law a letter to tell her how important the tradition of cutting down a tree on grandpa’s lot had been, and how she had sent the obituary to her grown daughter in CA. Another family expressed condolences, as they had gotten trees from grandpa for years.

My mother-in-law told them to go out to the lot and cut down one last tree. The family who is buying Grandma and Grandpa’s home have said they plan to keep the Christmas tree farm operating. I think Grandpa would have been happy about that.

Grandpa’s Christmas trees brought joy to many over the years. It goes to show the various ways, big and small, that we can make an impact in the lives of others. This season I hope your family will take in new memories, start traditions, share stories and celebrate being together.

Families are the strength of our society

R

ecently I was speaking with a friend who came here when she was very young as a refugee of the Vietnam War. She was telling me about her family’s story, which as you would expect, included a number of difficult challenges. They persevered because her parents instilled in her the importance of families; of working hard, sticking together, and supporting each Legislator other.

Since I’ve been in office, I have Lingo had many conRoger Chamberlain versations with people from many different backgrounds who have told similar stories. With each conversation I’m struck by our universal values and the importance of families across cultures.

After I spoke to my friend I thought of my father and the record he created of our family.

My father was a picture taker; every family has one. He was always present with his 35mm camera, ready to coordinate a group photo – or worse, he would simply take random “live action” shots. In either case his attempts were always met with some degree of grumbling and us wishing he would run out of fi lm or flashbulbs.

Through the years my father accumulated thousands of pictures from hundreds of events and travels. Now I am glad my father played the photographer and I have come to enjoy and appreciate those old photos. When my father died we found his story in those pictures. When my brother died last year, we pulled out those photos and found even more stories.

The photos are stories about trials and triumphs, losses and new additions to our family, celebrations and recreation. They document the events that bring us together; the photos are a reflection of my father’s values and the importance he placed on family.

Strong families are the essential fabric of vibrant communities and healthy nations. They can be messy, loud, perfectly imperfect, amazingly unique and resilient.

And without much meddling families have been able to overcome great obstacles and endure hardships. They are a circle of strength even with all their imperfections.

That is why it so disheartening to see so many broken families.

With broken families come more poverty, lower academic performance and increased social problems. There are families facing tough times for reasons beyond their control who need support, but many others have been trapped after being led down a destructive path.

To address these difficult family issues there is often a rush to find

some of legislative solution, another program or more money. That has been the trend for fi fty years.

But history tells us no law or program, no amount of money can fi x what has broken the family.

In 1964, President Johnson declared a war on poverty. Since then we’ve spent $22 trillion to support his effort according to researchers at the Heritage Foundation1, yet the poverty rate today remains the same as it was in 1965 – 15 percent – and most people in poverty are still women and children.

On the contrary, unnecessary intervention into families and academic misfeasance has decreased both the role and resilience of families.

As my Vietnamese friend’s story shows, families can succeed without government intervention. All over the world, families endure good times and bad times, successes and failures. Life is a series of peaks and valleys; the bad times teach us how to persevere and succeed. Through it all, we lean on family.

My wife is the picture taker in our family. While I have grumbled about that occasional annoyance, I have realized the importance of the stories behind the images.

Families are resilient, beautifully imperfect and the strength of our society. As the families go, so shall we.

Another city adopts sex offender residency restrictions

BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

MAHTOMEDI — The city has enacted at least temporary residency restrictions for highest-risk sex offenders.

The City Council last week adopted an interim ordinance prohibiting Level 3 sex offenders from moving in near a school, park, day care or church.

The interim rules will be in place for up to a year while city officials consider permanent restrictions.

Mahtomedi's regulations are more restrictive than those that were passed in Birchwood last month.

In Birchwood, offenders generally cannot live within 1,000 feet of a recreational facility, school or day care, but they are exempt if they reside with their spouse or a close relative.

In Mahtomedi, the prohibited neighbors also include churches, the distance is 2,000 feet and there is no exemption if the offender wants to live with family.

Prompted by notification that a Level 3 offender was moving in with family in their community, Birchwood council members expeditiously adopted residency restrictions last month. But fearing litigation, they opted to include a family exemption. It's not clear whether an ordinance without that exception would have applied to the offender who moved in after it went into effect because the notification arguably had already legally established

him as a resident.

Mahtomedi resident and attorney Douglas Wolgamot, whose relatives had lobbied for an ordinance in Birchwood, wrote to Mahtomedi leaders asking them to also enact restrictions in Mahtomedi.

Mahtomedi City Attorney Jay Karlovich advised that 11 cities have sex offender residency restriction ordinances, but it is not clear whether municipalities have the legal authority to impose such restrictions. Cities are authorized by the state to “protect the health, safety and welfare of its citizens,” but state law also assigns state agencies the duty of placing and supervising offenders on supervised release.

If ever legally challenged on the grounds of individual's constitutional rights, Karlovich predicted a judge would be more likely to overturn restrictions that prevent offenders from residing with family. Of the 11 other cities with restrictions, all but one have family exemptions.

The attorney also recommended that city leadership should map the 2,000 feet radiuses around the protected schools, parks, day cares and churches to determine how much of the city is rendered off-limits to many sex offenders. If it is a large portion of the city, a court would likely deem the restrictions an illegal zoning prohibition, Karlovich predicted.

The council was unanimously in support of the temporary restrictions while they mull permanent ones. The process will include a Planning Commission review and a public hearing.

City tax , utility bills grow slightly MAHTOMEDI — Taxes and utility bills will increase by a few dollars for most Mahtomedi property owners.

The Mahtomedi City Council last week unanimously approved its 2016 budgets, fees and tax levy. The general fund budget was set at $5.2 million and the tax levy was set at $3.9 million.

Those are increases of 2.5 and 2.4 percent, respectively.

Assuming an average property value increase, the owner of a $250,000 house will pay an additional $16 in city property taxes next year; that's a 2 percent increase. Property owners' utility bills also are increasing an average of $14 per quarter.

According to a presentation from Finance Director Scott Schaefer, notable changes in the budget are: • The planning department's budget is jumping by 50 percent ($25,000) because of additional staff hours needed to update the city's comprehensive plan and its parks master plan.

• Parks improvement spending includes $375,000 worth of trail improvements, $200,000 in improvements to Katherine Abbott Park and nearly $30,000 to purchase a new athletic field aerator and seeder.

• Planned building improvements total over $350,000 and include remodeling in City Hall and the Fire Department.

• The general fund budget includes $1.02 million in debt payments, which is slightly less than last year.

• A new four-tier water rates system

will increase the average water bill by $2 per quarter. Almost all of the $64,000 increase in the water budget is to begin replacing water meters.

• The sewer budget is increased 7 percent and nearly half of that increase is needed because of an increase in the fees assessed by the Metropolitan Council. The average quarterly sewer bill will increase by nearly $11.

• With a 10 percent rate increase, the average stormwater bill will increase nearly $2 per quarter.

• The city's 2015 capital improvement plan has a budget of $5.2 million. The largest anticipated expenditure is nearly $3.8 million for the second phase of Historic District road and utility work.

Other planned capital projects and their anticipated costs are: Crosswalk improvements on Highway 244, $441,000; Highway 12 improvements adjacent to the Piccadilly redevelopment, $250,000; improvements to an outlet into White Bear Lake, $230,000; improvements to the Highways 244 and 120 intersection, $200,000; Katherine Park improvements (as already mentioned above), $200,000; and sewer maintenance, $160,000.

The funding sources for the capital projects are: $2.1 million from utility funds, $1.6 million in bonding, $696,000 in state and county grants, $500,000 in assessments to property owners, $200,000 from the parks fund and $195,000 in municipal state aid.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Cost of health care I appreciate Rep. Matt Dean's [Dec. 2] commentary "Health insurance still broken." He notes a number of important issues.

It is not hard to critique our problems. It is much harder to propose solutions that will work. I am hoping Rep. Dean takes the next step and proposes solutions that will work.

It should be evident to all concerned that something that will not work is more market-based reforms to reward patients for being better shoppers. We have been trying that for a long time and it has not worked; in fact it has just gotten worse. Most of us are careful in health care use and all we end up with is high premiums, high co-pays, and high deductibles.

The problem is not the insurance market. The problem is the cost of health care, which is caused by health systems, pharmaceutical firms, insurers and more health care suppliers each sticking their finger into the health care pie.

There are better alternatives. Other countries deliver better health care and spend half as much as we do in the United States.

It will be great if Rep. Dean focuses now on fixing the fundamental problem: the suppliers of health care taking advantage of consumers by using their market power. Let's lower costs at the source and make insurance affordable, rather than continually blaming consumers for not being wise consumers.

Doug Wholey Dellwood No trust Well, Birchwood has its first Level 3 sex offender, thanks to his family and Birchwood residents, the Jefferson family. This is a very bad guy. He sexually assaulted 12- and 13-year-old girls.

The Jeffersons left an open letter at the Town Hall and the last line read: "We are only asking that you trust us and give Joe that second chance." Trust you? We don't even know you. And you bring your criminal grandson to live in my town? No, I won't trust you!

After reading the Jefferson's letter it is very clear the Jeffersons never considered all the fear, discomfort and pain their decision will bring to all Birchwood residents.

Brian Brady Birchwood Look beyond fear As a citizen of Birchwood for over 25 years, I have come to appreciate this close-knit community. However, the angry reaction by many Birchwood residents to a Level 3 sex offender moving into our community (i.e. “not in my backyard”) has me concerned.

I attended the notification meeting and the two meetings hastily called by the City Council to hear concerns and consider unlawfully passing an ordinance to prevent Mr. Zacher from living with his grandfather. Passing such an ordinance could lead to involvement with the

American Civil A i Ci il Liberties ib i Union i with i h the h possibility ibili off litigation.

An ordinance would provide one means of protection, while education and talking with our children about strangers is additionally very important. A meeting by the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center was scheduled to assist parents and the community in educating their children on safety, but few Birchwood families attended.

Mr. Zacher will be released under intensive supervision release, wearing a GPS monitoring device, and at most times confined to his grandfather’s house. The Department of Corrections has worked with the family to assist with the restrictions and supervision. They have a huge responsibility to keep our community safe.

Our community has responded out of fear, anger, and frustration. For many, the initial response has been “how can we prevent this from happening?” While this may be an expected reaction, the move from Stillwater Prison to Birchwood cannot legally be stopped.

The responsibility is on all of us to come together as a community to be vigilant, observant and to notify the police of any suspicious activity. Thus, I ask you to look beyond fear to be watchful, to educate and to talk out of concern instead of fear. Birchwood community members can work together to keep it a safe place, even if a Level 3 sex offender resides here.

My hope is that Mr. Zacher will do well, and as a community we can support the family as we all have a huge responsibility to keep our community safe. We will watch out for each other, be they family, friends, neighbors or someone we don’t know.

Cora Hankins Birchwood Rewriting history In his Dec. 2 letter, Grant Councilman Loren Sederstrom claimed there were many distortions in Bob Tufty’s letter a week earlier, but Mr. Sederstrom failed to get his own facts straight.

Flapping his hand horizontally in Jeff Huber’s face was not just “raising [his] hand.” And his arm being pushed away by Huber didn’t appear to be an assault to those at the meeting, including a deputy sheriff, or even Sederstrom himself at the time. But he and fellow Councilman Larry Lanoux present this bogus “assault” charge as an excuse for their seating nonsense and subsequent exit from the November council meeting.

Though irrelevant to his accusation, Sederstrom then rewrites history with his version about an unfounded campaign complaint lodged by his friend Robert Englehart in 2014. Tufty was only one of three who Englehart accused, not the only one as Sederstrom implies. The judge dismissed the complaint for “several reasons,” not only that the 101-year-old law was unconstitutional.

Englehart’s attempt to keep citizens from voting on disbanding the Charter Commission in the 2014 election thus failed, as did Sederstrom and Lanoux’s similar attempt in the special charter election in October. But Grant voters, again given the choice, resoundingly sent the Charter Commission home, and Sederstrom and

Lanoux are still ill fuming. f i Sederstrom argues that he was calm at the November meeting, not admitting his behavior was disruptive — his refusing to sit in his own seat, asking to be handcuffed for some later photo op and bragging about his community TV award as he was escorted out by the deputy.

At the December meeting he did sit in his own seat and behave better, although his and Lanoux’s attempt to present a non-agenda surprise at the outset failed.

Sederstrom asks, “Do you see a pattern of behavior here?” We reply, “Yes, we do, Mr. Sederstrom, please stop!

The citizens of Grant deserve better.”

Jerry Helander Grant Educational moments On Nov. 23, 17 citizens of White Bear Lake, Hugo, Grant and Vadnais Heights completed the White Bear Lake Police Department Citizen's Academy. The eight-week course is intended to educate citizens about a variety of police topics and procedures through tours, presentations and hands-on experiences.

As the graduating class members, we would like to wholeheartedly thank the academy champion and leader, Officer Isaac Tuma and Chief Julie Swanson, and the many exemplary officers and adjunct members of the White Bear Lake Police Department who made the academy an outstandingly educational, fascinating, eye-opening and enjoyable experience for us all.

We experienced sessions covering topics such as firearms, SWAT, interagency agreements and task force efforts, traffic enforcement, use of force guidance, narcotics, criminal investigations, emergency response, K-9 operations, fraud, jail processing and incarceration, and BCA operations.

Learning both the background of the police processes for these protective endeavors as well as the challenges of the complex reality in which officers must react was enlightening and valuable. Hands-on activities gave us an appreciation for the complexity of managing critical activities in high-stress situations. The expert presentations and willingness of the speakers to share their knowledge, their insights and their experiences resulted in some of the most fascinating educational moments we have ever experienced.

As graduates of the Citizen's Academy, we feel more connected to the White Bear Lake Police Department officers, as well as to our community. We have a better understanding of what the Police Department needs to function safely and effectively. We very much appreciate the services and protection that the Police Department provides us.

Beverly A.B. Farraher White Bear Lake This letter also was signed by participants Barb McLean, Steve McGraw, Mark Schlichenmeyer, Regenea Green, Patty Swails, Gretchen Goede, Dylan Hildreth, Brigid Nault, LowAnn Belden, Shari Nepper, James Nepper, Joseph Bailey, Carole Garrison, John Garrison, Mary Ivy and Barbara Kelly.

CENTER: Aims to reduce achievement gap FROM PAGE 1A

partner services would not be restricted to District 624 residents.

Superintendent Michael Lovett said a suburban center with multiple services would not only be more convenient for families, it would also facilitate the partners working together to provide a better continuum of supports.

District leaders said their umbrella goal for the center is reducing the student achievement gap.

In a letter to the senators, Lovett proclaimed the center “a bold new

idea to address Minnesota's pervasive gaps in access, opportunity and achievement.” He continued: “Together with our cities and municipalities, county government, the medical sector and community nonprofits, we propose a center designed to welcome all families with young children to make the biggest possible difference in lifelong learning, family stability and success.”

A few prospective sites in White Bear Lake are being studied. Proximity to public transit is one of the selection criteria.

"A railroad and county road lead directly from Vadnais Lake to a corner of Highway 61 and Whitaker Avenue just over there," he noted. "It's a very direct route."

Sen. David Tomassoni (Dist. 6-DFL) wanted to know more about the route and how deep the pipe would be buried.

"Are there indications of running the pipeline along the railroad track?" he asked.

"An application for easement was submitted to the railroad three months ago to see if it's even doable," replied Brian McGoldrick, owner of Admiral D's and a member of the lake group. "So it's in the midst of a review process."

As for depth, a pipe would more than likely be 9 feet deep and take water from 18 feet below the surface in Vadnais, McGoldrick said.

Filtered water would be dispersed in Commercial Bay a quarter mile from shore.

Markoe pointed out that the county road and railroad run parallel almost the entire way so either option would work.

Ramsey County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt told the senators that a trench under a county road is "something we have done in the past and we are capable and happy to do this. I have toured the (augmentation) systems in North Oaks and Shoreview and

they work beautifully.

This is a bigger issue, but they have a system down and they know how to do it," she said.

"How much is the ask?" inquired Sen. Bev Scalze (Dist. 42-DFL), in whose district the pipeline would originate.

"We're hoping to be in front of you soon with a request," replied Harry Melander, chairman of the Friends board. "We will have some findings next month that will have a realistic expectation on cost."

Scalze also asked how many cities in the area still pump groundwater for municipal use.

All five communities that touch the lake use groundwater, Markoe told the senator. "I don't know any that have switched to surface water, but that is part of a long-term solution. For every gallon of groundwater coming in, 2 gallons go out. We flood the river with groundwater every day."

Sen. Dave Senjem (Dist. 25-R) wondered if it was possible to even get communities to switch to surface water.

"It's possible, but difficult," Melander maintained. "Augmentation provides a means to offset that long-term cost. Eventually communities will take that into consideration. We believe piping water from the lake will provide the fi rst part of infrastructure needed to continue to allow communities around the lake to draw from the aquifer. White Bear Lake will become a reservoir. It's a practical use of taxpayer dollars."

Markoe told the senators that any water that goes into White Bear Lake will either raise the lake level or seep into the aquifer and recharge it. "It's a twofor-one deal," he said.

"The lake is a natural recharge point for the aquifer. That has been understood since the '90s."

Scalze noted that other lakes have been dredged in the past and there is an 'ask' for Redwood Lake. "So it's not like we're totally out of the business of engineering lakes to some degree," she said.

"Our lake is in trouble," said Melander, who lives in Mahtomedi. "It won't come back without human help.

We're looking for you to consider it in the near future."

The next stops for the committee that night were the school district's administration office and Century College. The district, in conjunction with the city, is requesting $15 million to build the White Bear Lake Area Community Achievement Center. The center will have programs designed to eliminate the achievement gap by ensuring all students are ready for kindergarten.

Century College leaders are requesting $5.5 million in bonding funds to design and renovate a portion of their campus to create an engineering and applied technology center.

The Legislature reconvenes at noon Tuesday, March 8.

GRANT CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Grant City Council took the following action at its Dec. 1 meeting: • Approved an expansion of the Cedar Ridge drug treatment facility, but not for at least a year and only if the applicant meets a long list of stipulations.

Meridian Behavioral Health plans to build a new 50-bed men's facility on its 51-acre property at 11400 Julianne Ave. N. All the existing buildings, which house an average of 36 patients, would be demolished.

The council added additional requirements to the facility's existing conditional use permit and required that Cedar Ridge must comply with the requirements for 12 consecutive months before it can expand. Any violation will reset the moratorium clock. City staff

will decide if a violation has occurred.

The additional conditions include the facility cannot admit sex offenders and it must promptly notify the sheriff's office and neighbors any time a patient leaves the facility without permission. Neighbors will be invited to sign up to receive text message notifications.

Once the new facility is built, Meridian also agreed not to seek to expand it for at least 15 years.

• Heard a proposal to reopen the former Windy Acres Saloon under a new name and ownership. Chris and Jenifer Cosgrove purchased the property on 60th Street N. and want to open a new bar and grill called Cozzies Tavern. Minor interior and exterior updates are planned.

The council requested some additional

information before it would consider granting a conditional use permit.

• Adopted a 2016 city budget of $1.39 million and a 2016 tax levy of $1.1 million. Total spending is increasing 9 percent while the levy is increasing 5 percent. Much of the increased spending is for road projects. Most staffing, consulting and contracted costs are increasing slightly, except for notable anticipated increases in legal and building inspector fees (the later to be offset by more building permit fee revenues) and a slight decrease in sheriff's office fees.

WINTER VEHICLE SAFETY TIPS – If you must warm your vehicle before you leave: Lock the door & don’t let the vehicle out of your site; Pull the car out of the garage before warming it up to avoid carbon monoxide drifting into your home; If you’re at the gas pump, shut your vehicle off, lock the doors & take the keys with you, don’t leave your purse out in the open, it takes only seconds to break a window & steal it; Remember stopping distances increase, and just because your car has anti-lock brakes doesn’t mean you’ll stop before hitting the car in front of you; Don’t speed up to make it through that yellow traffic light, slow down & prepare for the red light to follow; Check your wiper blades, are they worn out & need to be replaced?

Is your snow brush in the trunk?

CHILDREN’S SAFETY – Please don’t allow your children to build snow structures or tunnels in the snow banks at the end of driveways, in cul-de-sacs, or along roadways. Snowplows may pass by any time to remove snow or make space for future snow events.

GARBAGE & RECYCLING CONTAINERS – Just a reminder to place all containers behind the curb line, not in the street where they can be knocked over or damaged by snowplows. Containers are to be put out on the day of your collection and removed no later than 10:00 p.m. on the same day.

TIP OF THE WEEK – Before you get out your winter salt deicer, think about picking up your snow shovel instead. Clearing snow before it can compact into ice is safer, cheaper, & better for the environment.

shovel out around fire hydrants after each snowfall. If the Fire Department has to locate a hydrant under the snow, they lose precious time needed to fight fires.

SHOVELING GUIDELINES – Residents are not allowed to “throw” snow onto neighboring properties without permission or into public streets or rights-ofways.

KEEP FIRE HYDRANTS CLEAR – Please

Gambling moratorium lifted, hockey group granted permit

BY KRISTINE GOODRICH EDITOR

VADNAIS HEIGHTS — The city has new charitable gambling regulations and the local youth hockey association finally has the green light to open its second gambling booth in the city.

The Vadnais Heights City Council last week adopted two changes in its regulations, lifted its moratorium and approved a permit for the White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association to conduct charitable gambling at Jimmy's Food and Drink.

The hockey association and other organizations that have gambling operations in the city now must spend at least half of their net profits within the city and another quarter within the city or the communities adjacent to the city. Previously, organizations were required to use at least a quarter of their net profits in the city and another quarter in the area.

Organizations still can ask the council to approve a waiver of these requirements.

Organizations conducting gambling must now also provide the city with copies of its monthly tax forms and must provide the city an annual report prepared by an independent accountant showing that the organization complied with the city's regulations.

Most of the city's charitable gambling rules remain unchanged, including: no more than five gambling locations are

permitted in the city, the organization must be headquartered in the trade area and must be at least 3 years old, organizations must give 10 percent of their net gambling profits to the city, and organizations must provide the city an annual independent financial audit.

In a controversial decision in August, the council denied a hockey association permit application because the application contained an outdated form. The council then imposed a moratorium blocking the association from reapplying. The association was seeking to take over the Jimmy's gambling booth after Jimmy's ownership opted not to renew its lease with the Vadnais Heights Fire Relief Association (which supports the city's fire department).

Jimmy's and the hockey association both appealed to the Minnesota Court of Appeals, but the appeals judges decided they didn't have jurisdiction. Both appellants also threatened to file suit in district court.

Like the votes cast this fall, the council votes on Dec. 2 were divided: 4-1 to adopt the new regulations and lift the moratorium and 3-2 to approve the hockey association permit. Councilman Terry Nyblom voted no on all three votes and Councilman Jerry Auge voted against granting the permit. None of the council members offered any commentary before casting their votes.

in an area that has no big box stores nearby, and felt the area is prime for a new store. Dan, who lives in Maplewood, and Joe, who lives in Vadnais Heights, managed the Roseville Play It Again Sports for a combined 15 years and said they always wanted to open their own store.

They will specialize in the sports played at the facility: hockey, lacrosse, soccer and football. Services like skate sharpening and embroidery will be offered, as well as a full line of apparel. "We plan to be a player in team sales," Dan said. The brothers, 35 and 32, happen to be related to Fred Zappa, who is closing his White Bear Township sporting goods store. They will carry similar merchandise, plus have an area for used equipment.

Revolution Sporting Goods, 1460 County Road E, should open Feb. 1 and employ at least five part-timers. Dan said they

New sporting goods store owners Joe Ponsolle (left) and Dan Ponsolle traveled to San Francisco to meet with their landlord, Bryan Hansen, and did a little sightseeing while there. They started looking for a spot for the store last March.

Living Nativity St. Stephen Lutheran Church is holding its annual living Nativity from 4:30-7:30 p.m. Saturdays, Nov. 12 and 19. Costumed actors and animals will re-enact the Christmas story outside the church. There also will be activities inside the church and a petting zoo.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

13A

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A Fisher Lane resident reported Nov. 25 that someone had used her credit card to make $10,000 in unauthorized purchases at a Best Buy in Texas.

• A man was arrested and a juvenile was cited after a deputy noted an occupied vehicle in Four Seasons Park the early morning of Nov. 25. The vehicle smelled of marijuana, and alcohol marijuana and paraphernalia were found in the vehicle. A White Bear Lake man, 21, faced possible charges for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia and furnishing alcohol to a minor. An Oakdale boy, 17, faced a citation for underage consumption.

• A business owner on Leibel Street reported his accountant, who also is his ex-girlfriend, is stealing from his business. While they were a couple he said he had granted her permission to use company funds to pay her personal cable and cell phone bills. After they broke up several months ago he said he told her his company would no longer pay those bills for her, but she continued to use company funds.

VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A Bridgewood Terrace man reported Nov. 25 that someone had forged checks using his bank account number and cashed them. The complainant suspected the thief obtained his account number by stealing a check from his mailbox.

• Centerville Road residents reported Dec. 25 a man paid them with counterfeit money for a pair of designer jeans. They said they arranged the sale on social media and they later realized that the two $100 bills the man gave them were counterfeit because they had the same serial number.

The suspect was identified as a Maplewood man.

• Theft from auto was reported Nov. 26 at Target.

• Theft from auto was reported Nov. 28 on Clark Circle.

• Theft from auto was reported at Sak’s Sports Bar on Nov. 28.

• Theft from auto was reported at the Vadnais Inn on Dec. 29.

• A man at Shadowlawn Estates on Nov. 30 reported someone had drained $4,000 from his bank account. He suspected his new roommate or his roommate’s friend. The complainant had met his roommate at a homeless shelter at which they had recently resided.

Men charged with robbery, illegal gun possession Two men are charged with felonies following a dispute in which a gun and a knife were drawn in a White Bear Lake apartment.

Shelby Shussin Larson, 20, of St. Louis Park, was charged Nov. 30 with attempted aggravated robbery.

Timothy William Nordstrom, 31, of St. Paul was charged Nov. 30 with possessing a firearm with an altered serial number.

Both men were arrested the early morning of Nov. 28 after police were called to White Bear Woods Apartments.

According to the criminal complaint: Three people in the apartment reported Larson pulled a knife and said he was robbing them. A fight reportedly ensued, during which Nordstrom grabbed a gun and pointed it at Larson.

When officers arrived, Larson had been disarmed and subdued. He allegedly told officers he had come to the apartment to retrieve property that belonged to him and he reportedly admitted he had brought a knife with him.

Officers recovered the knife and the handgun and found that the serial number had been filed off the gun. Nordstrom reportedly admitted to officers that he had bought the gun “off the street,” according to the complaint.

Larson's 17-year-old girlfriend reportedly told officers that drug sales occurred in the apartment where

the incident occurred.

Two drivers with priors charged with DWIs In a five-day span, two men with three prior DWI convictions were arrested for DWI on White Bear Lake roads.

Daniel Jerome Kopp was arrested the early morning of Nov. 26 and Michael Earl Coppage was arrested the early morning of Nov. 30. Both men were subsequently charged with felony first-degree DWI. Kopp, 31, of Hugo, was pulled over on Otter Lake Road near Fourth Street after a police officer allegedly observed him weaving in and out of his lane.

According to the criminal complaint, Kopp admitted he had drunk four beers and had taken a painkiller.

He tested 0.19 and 0.18 on breathalyzers, according to the complaint. Kopp has prior DWI convictions in 2006, 2009 and 2011. He also was convicted of underage drinking and driving in 2003.

Coppage, 45, was stopped on Fourth Street for having an inoperable headlight. According to the criminal complaint, Coppage admitted he had been drinking and he tested 0.14 and 0.12 on breathalyzers.

Coppage's residence is listed in court documents as Oroville, California. But he's had numerous convictions in Minnesota dating back to 1991, including DWI convictions in 2007, 2010 and 2013.

CITY OF MAHTOMEDI WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA

CITY OF MAHTOMEDI, MINNESOTA 2016 FINAL FEE SCHEDULE, CONTINUED

ORDINANCE NO. 2015-05 AN INTERIM ORDINANCE FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF TEMPORARY PREDATORY OFFENDER RESIDENCY REGULATIONS TO ALLOW FOR THE STUDY, ADOPTION OR AMENDMENT OF OFFICIAL CONTROLS RELATED TO THE CITY’S ZONING CODE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MAHTOMEDI ORDAINS AS FOLLOWS: Section I. Purpose and Intent. The purpose and intent of this Ordinance is to establish temporary predatory offender residency regulations similar to the predatory offender residency regulations that have been promulgated by various Minnesota cites to allow the City of Mahtomedi to have regulations and protections in effect for the health, safety and welfare of its citizens during the City’s study and planning activities related to the possible enactment of permanent predatory offender residency regulations. The City of Mahtomedi currently does not have any predatory offender residency regulations. The most common predatory offender residency regulations have prohibitions of residencies within certain distances of places and areas where children are known to congregate. This Ordinance is intended to facilitate the study, adoption or amendment of official controls related to Mahtomedi City Code, Chapter 11, Section 11.01 (the Zoning Code), whereby the City planning staff can study common residency distance regulations and other regulation approaches that may result in the permanent adoption and enactment of reasonable predatory offender residency regulations for the City of Mahtomedi.

Section II. Preliminary Findings.

1.

Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, Subdivision 4, authorizes municipalities to adopt interim ordinances to regulate, restrict or prohibit any use, development, or subdivision for the purpose of protecting the planning process and the health, safety and welfare of its citizens.

2.

Repeat sexual offenders, sexual offenders who use physical violence, and sexual offenders who prey on children are sexual predators who present an extreme threat to public safety. Current information indicates that sexual predatory offenders are likely to use physical violence and to repeat their offenses, and most sexual predatory offenders commit many offenses, have many more victims than are ever reported, and are prosecuted for only a fraction of their crimes. The cost of sexual predatory offender victimization to society at large, while not precisely calculable, is steep.

3.

It is the intent of this Ordinance to serve the City’s compelling interest to promote, protect and improve the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City by creating areas around locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers wherein certain sexual predatory offenders are prohibited from establishing temporary or permanent residences.

4.

The Council has determined that it is necessary and in the public interest to impose a temporary ordinance limiting the residence location of sexual predatory offenders while considering a permanent ordinance limiting the residency location of sexual predatory offenders within the City.

Section III. Interim Ordinance.

1. Definitions. The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this Ordinance, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning: 1.1 “Designated predatory offender” means any person who has been categorized as a Level III predatory offender under Minnesota Statutes, section 244.052, a successor statute, or a similar statute from another state in which that person’s risk assessment indicates a high risk of re-offense.

1.2 “Permanent residence” means a place where a person abides, lodges, or resides for 14 or more consecutive days.

1.3 “Temporary residence” means a place where a person abides, lodges, or resides for a period of 14 or more days in the aggregate during any calendar year and which is not the person’s permanent address, or a place where the person routinely abides, lodges, or resides for a period of four or more consecutive or non-consecutive days in any month and which is not the person’s permanent residence.

1.4 “School” means a public or nonpublic elementary, secondary school, high school or college (including Century College).

1.5 “Licensed child care center” means an in-home or other group child care center currently licensed by the State of Minnesota.

1.6 “Religious facility” means a church or other place of worship which provides youth educational programming, or is improved with an outdoor area designed, equipped, and set aside primarily for children’s play.

1.7 “Public Park” means an improved or unimproved public park owned by the City, Washington County, a school district or other governmental entity.

2. Temporary Regulations on Designated Predatory Offenders 2.1 It shall be unlawful for any designated predatory offender to establish a permanent or temporary residence within 2,000 feet of any school, licensed child-care facility, religious facility, or public park.

2.2 For purposes of determining the minimum distance separation required by this Section, the requirement shall be measured by following a straight line from the outer property line of the permanent or temporary residence of the designated predatory offender to the nearest outer property line of the protected.

2.3 A designated predatory offender residing within a prohibited area as described in this Section does not commit a violation of this Section if any of the following apply: A. The person established the permanent residence or temporary residence and reported and registered the residence pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 243.166 and 243.167 or a successor statute, prior to December 2, 2015; B. The person was a minor when he or she committed the offense and was convicted as an adult; C. The person is a minor; D. The school, licensed child-care facility, religious facility, or public park within 2,000 feet of the person’s permanent residence or temporary residence was opened after the person established the permanent residence or temporary residence and reported and registered the residence pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, sections 243.166 and 243.167, or a successor statute; or E. The residence is a property purchased, leased, or contracted with and licensed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections prior to December 2, 2015.

2.4 The regulations imposed by this Section of the Ordinance shall be in effect for a period of one year from the date of its adoption, until the final adoption of an amendment to the City’s Code regarding the residency location of predatory offenders, or upon its express repeal by the City Council, whichever occurs first.

3. Penalty and Enforcement 3.1 A violation of this Ordinance shall be a misdemeanor. In addition, the City may enforce this Ordinance by mandamus, injunction, and other appropriate remedy in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section IV. Study. During the period of this Interim Ordinance, the Planning Commission and/or the City Council shall direct the City staff and consultants to study the required planning factors, to submit research and reports as necessary and to schedule public hearings that will facilitate property owners, business owners, public entities and general public input for the timely amendment or confirmation of the official controls related to the Temporary Regulations on Designated Predatory Offenders.

Section V. Effective Date. This Interim Ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its publication as provided by law.

Passed in regular session of the City Council on the 1st day of December, 2015.

In Appreciation for Mark Sather City Manager of White Bear Lake Mark was a huge asset to the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce, including but not limited to securing the White Bear Lake Railro ad Depot as our new home. We are now a fixture in the epi-center of downtown White Bear Lake.

His groundbreaking leadership in securing the Boatworks Project, the new Lakeshore Players location, and the new facility for the White Bear Center for the Arts has already positively transformed our comm unity.

Additionally, Mark’s unbridled enthusiasm for the White Bear Lake community will obviously continue after his retirement. I’m sure he will remain an active member of Rotary, promote the Boy Scouts, and help his replacement build on his successful accomplishments.

Sports Center gifted with AED The Minnesota NHL Alumni Association donated an AED (automated external defibrillator) to the White Bear Sports Center last week after the Fire Department applied to its hockey arena grant program.

Former North Star Brad Maxwell, president of the alumni group, presented the AED, along with a donation plaque to Sports Center Superintendent Bruce Bates and WBLFD CPR program leader Chris Voss. The life-saving AED will be placed in the arena for public use in the event of cardiac arrest.

The alumni association is a group of former professional hockey players that either played for the North Stars or for another professional team, but are somehow connected to Minnesota, the State of Hockey.

Alumni raise money throughout the year and donate it back into the hockey community. This includes hockey equipment and fees to youth. Three years ago, the alumni started buying AEDs from a local vendor, Advanced First Aid, and donated the units to Minnesota hockey arenas.

So far, they’ve donated more than 30 AEDs. Voss wants people to know there is an AED at the rink and to pay attention to where it's located. "If no one knows there's an AED there, no one will think to use it if it's needed," she said. "Hopefully coming from Brad Maxwell, this will raise a little awareness."

According to Voss, an addendum is being drafted to the CPR in the Schools law that would require an announcement prior to high school events that identifies the location of an AED. The legislation would eventually be broadened to include all public events.

"I think that's a great idea," Voss said. "Whether it becomes law or not, it would be good practice at all sporting events to identify where an AED is if one is on site."

Zephyr Wrestlers Battle at Maple Grove Invite The Mahtomedi Zephyr wrestling team has a goal of getting better every day.

On Saturday, in the 12-team Maple Grove Invite, the Zephyrs accomplished that goal. The Zephyrs were led by individual champion, Devin Fitzpatrick, who finished 3-0 at 160. In the championship match, he defeated James Agan of Minnetonka by a major decision. Fitzpatrick has already climbed to 6 - 0.

Evan Lawrence, 170, had a nice tournament earning third place. Senior John Vanstrum, 220 and Junior Ben Nelson, 182, each had solid tournaments finishing in fifth place. The Zephyrs finished in eighth overall.

The Mahtomedi JV squad also competed. Sheridan Draz earned a championship with three victories. First year wrestlers, Alec Zell and Elijah Heatherson earned their first career victories.

The Zephyrs return to action Thursday, December 10 at home against Hudson, WI at 6PM, followed by North Saint Paul at 7:15. The Zephyrs travel to the Woodbury duals on Saturday, December 12.

In addition, the Zephyr youth wrestling program continues this week on Wednesday evening from 6:30 - 7:45 PM. Athletes, K-6, are welcome to join this community ed program for 8 weeks of wrestling technique, athletic training and competition. Participants can sign up on Wednesday at Mahtomedi High School or on the web by visiting the Mahtomedi School District Community Ed website.

The White Bear Lake Bears varsity wrestling team took seventh place at the Dec. 5 Coon Rapids Invitational. The day started with a loss to a tough Centennial team, followed by a close loss to Coon Rapids. In the end, the Bears were victorious over Columbia Heights to take seventh place spot for the day.

The Bears started off well with four victories in the early weight classes against Centennial. Sophomore J.J. Andress earned three points for the team in a 5-2 decision in the 106 weight class.

Senior Tom Adair, wrestling at 113 pounds, beat his opponent 16-0 to earn a technical fall for the Bears. Freshman T.J. Turinske at 120 followed with a pin against his opponent to garner six points for the team. Next up, sophomore Isaiah Baker earned a major decision, beating his opponent 16-5 in the 126 weight class. The next six matches would be losses for the Bears. In the 182 weight class, however, senior Joe Dittel secured a pin in the first period.

Wins in the 220 class by senior Austin Devaney and in the heavyweight division by senior Mike Williams would not be enough for a victory for the Bears, however. In the end, they lost to Centen-

nial with a team score of 40-30.

Next up, the Bears faced Coon Rapids. Andress, Adair and Turinske each pinned their opponents to start the match up. The next win for the Bears went to sophomore Kris Thury, who also pinned his opponent, wrestling at 132 pounds. Junior Matthew Muedeking earned a major decision in the 152 weight class, defeating his opponent 11-2. Dittel had his second win of the day with a 9-6 decision at 182. Senior Jim Zinter pinned his opponent in the 195 weight class, but that would prove to be the last win of the match up against Coon Rapids, who defeated the Bears 40-37 for a close victory.

The last round of the days for the varsity wrestlers was against a short-handed Columbia Heights team. Highlights for the Bears included pins for Andress, Turinske, sophomore Mitchell Woodcock, Zinter, and Devaney. Those victories, along with several forfeits by the Columbia Heights team, allowed the Bears a 60-18 victory to end the day.

Next up for the Bears is a meet at Park Cottage Grove on December 10. submitted by Carol Zintter

Sophomore Haley Oswald finished second on vault(8.85), second on beam(8.875), third on floor(8.95), and captured second in the AllAround(32.675). A very consistent sophomore Livi Hurt finished first in the All-Around by scoring a tie for third on vault(8.425) along with teammate Kelsey Rose and second on bars(7.8). A highlight of the evening was that all five varsity gymnasts stuck their beam routines.

The junior varsity also competed extremely well, finishing first with a 119.9 team total. Sophomore Cassandra Gaertner placed first on vault(8.4), second on bars(7.1) and second on floor(7.9). Eighth grader Caylee Greeder shone on the beam and claimed first place(7.2). Teammate Kelsey Rose also performed consistently and placed first on bars(7.4) and first on floor(8.45). The Zephyrs have a full week coming up with a conference meet at North St. Paul on Dec 10 and the St Cloud Invitational on Saturday, Dec 12.

Look up "resilient" in the dictionary and you could well find a team photo of the 2015 White Bear Lake girls' soccer team.

Dave Ashley and John Dierkhising's club began the season with just one victory in their first eight contests. They lost their first four games.

The resurgence got rolling with victories over Woodbury and Blaine, and gained speed with a three-game win streak.

The Bears turned aside Woodbury again to gain a berth in the Section 4AA semifinals, before falling at the feet of eventual section champion Mounds View.

They were fourth in the Suburban East Conference with a 4-3-1

record, and finished 7-10-1 overall.

At the team's post-season banquet, senior goaltender Kaylee Peterson was cited as the MVP and also was named most improved.

Peterson was Suburban East honorable mention all-conference.

Sophomore Tessah Anderson and junior Morgan Newpower were honored as the top defensive players, and freshman forward Claire Odmark was announced as the top offensive player.

The iBear Award (intensity, integrity, indomitable will, and inspiration) went to senior midfielder Kelly Buhl, and senior defender Jeanette Bealke.

Buhl, junior defender Molly Riley, and soph defender Anderson were named to the all-conference team, with Newpower and Odmark honorable mention along with Peterson.

The team received the AllState Silver Academic Award for cumulative GPA, and nine players earned Academic Excellence Awards: seniors Buhl and Alison Hinck; juniors Molly Riley and Tess Wilder; and sophomores Anderson, Ashley Healy, Haylie Vossen, Madalyn Williams, and Emily Zoborowski.

Newpower, Riley, and Sara Janssen will serve as captains for the 2016 team.

"We're excited for next year, but we will miss our fabulous seniors in Kaylee Peterson, Jeanette Bealke, Allie Gruber, and our captains Kelly Buhl, Petra King, and Alison Hinck," offered coach Ashley. "We thank them for all that they've given to the team and their teammates."

Zephs pocket pair of one-goal decisions

The Mahtomedi boys' hockey team chalked up a pair of one-goal victories this past week, capped with a 7-6 win over Spring Lake Park on Saturday.

Both teams scored in each period in the matchup, and the Zephyrs finished with a 39-21 advantage in shots-on-goal.

The Matt Vannelli, Tommy Strelow, and Jets Krueger line accounted for four of the Zephyr goals in the win over the visiting Panthers.

Mahtomedi, now 3-1, led 3-1 after

one period on goals by Krueger, Jack Heinsch, and Pat Wigstrom.

Vannelli score twice in the middle frame, before the Panthers pulled back to 5-3 on a pair of Mitch Benfield markers.

Jared Flabo and Strelow came through with third period goals to stretch the lead to 7-3. SLP closed late in the game, but fell short.

Taidhgin Keel had 15 saves in the Mahtomedi nets.

Will Swanson saved 22 St. Paul

Academy shots in a 3-2 triumph at Drake Arena to start the week, in a clash of two top Class A teams.

Luke Posner and Tim Kuivinen delivered the Zephyr goals in the first period, and Posner popped in the game-winner at the 5:22 mark of period three. Andrew Kangas assisted on each goal, and Posner had a threepoint performance as well with two goals and an assist.

Meet Your Specialist

Celia Wirth, Computer Support and Repair I have been providing friendly, patient and educational computer assistance in homes and small businesses since 2003. No need to carry your computer into a store, I come to your home or office.

I can help you in your home. Enjoy your computer more. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tune it up and answer all your questions. I can add the new wireless printer, connect your iPad to the internet, and everything in between. Consider giving a gift of my time to your parents. I can make the computer more fun for them too.

I am a good option for your office. I can add a new computer to your network or POS, and be the person that calls the ISP or offsite tech support when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to. I am usually quicker and more affordable than your offsite tech support for those small jobs that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do. I can even set up a website for you.

Commercial & Residential Especially for Seniors, I am very patient. I understand that sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy, even if your kids say it is. I will answer your questions over and over, and I will never make you feel foolish or bad about what you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know.
