Weather Tidbits

Week of June 24-30, 2015

Weather tidbit: June 2014 was Minnesota's wettest June, and wettest month, of the modern record. The state-averaged monthly rainfall total for June 2014 in Minnesota was 8.03 inches. The total was well more than the previous record of 7.32 inches set in July 1897 and again in June 1914. Year Ago this week: An .85 inch rain on June 29 pushes my June rain total to 9.13 inches. High temperatures were in the low 80s.

To many, it may seem that Ryan Widuch and Tom Boland have dream jobs. The two men earn their paychecks by tasting, talking and selling beer. Craft beer, speciﬁcally, which has somewhat of a cult status in Minnesota — and White Bear Lake — right now. "We pinch ourselves — we just couldn't be happier to be doing what we're doing," said Widuch. "We feel lucky, too, because it's not just about our passion or work ethic, but it's also about timing; 10 years ago, the market wasn't in a place to support what we are doing." Every Thursday night, listeners can catch Widuch and Boland, 1999 White Bear Lake Area High School grads, reviewing locally brewed craft beers on 1500 ESPN's “The Beer Show.” The two have a segment in which they invite Minnesota brewers to talk about their creations, introducing the ever-growing number of craft beer drinkers in Minnesota to a wide range of niche brews. Not that the craft beer market is so niche these days. "The Minnesota craft beer scene continues to experience strong growth, [supporting] more breweries, more Min-

A former Eagle Brook Church administrator leads a nonproﬁ t with a mission of "discipling and developing men as leaders." Vadnais Heights resident Vince Miller founded RESOLUTE in early 2014. Its principal offering is a 22-month weekly leadership and spiritual growth course for men. Nearly 20 groups of approximately a dozen men are currently meeting at locations across the metro. Having spent his entire career in Christian ministry, Miller said he found that men are less engaged in faith communities. There are few Bible study opportunities speciﬁcally for men, and men average only 39 percent of the adult congregation of churches in the U.S., according to Miller. "I think men are looking for something more than most churches provide. They are looking for a brotherhood to grow with," Miller said. Miller said he long aspired to develop a smallgroup program for men that creates that brotherhood. Miller wrote the curriculum and tested

and refi ned it at a few pilot groups before formally launching RESOLUTE. The nonprofi t is governed by a board lead by St. Jude Operations manager and Hugo resident Jeremy Juergens. Miller is its president. Miller and several part-time staff lead the groups, which they call cohorts. There is a common curriculum and schedule that each cohort follows for its 90-minute weekly sessions. It's designed to actively engage participants in discussion and self-refl ection, Miller said. The cohorts devote the fi rst year to studying the Bible, discussing how the Scripture applies to their daily lives and what it means to be a disciple of Jesus, Miller said. The next year concentrates on leadership skills development. Last week the fi ve cohorts that Miller leads discussed giving and receiving feedback. He said that feedback "is one of the greatest tools a guy can have in his tool belt." This week his groups are talking about trust. "It's the most valuable commodity we share in leadership. You have to earn it and give it," Miller said.

A mail carrier, a restaurant owner, a former state trooper and two sheriff deputies are honored lifesavers. Ramsey County Sheriff Matt Bostrom recognized three citizens and two of his deputies who each intervened in a life-threatening emergency. White Bear Township resident James Elmer aided a sheriff deputy who had a medical emergency last June. Deputy Matt Lassegard was visiting Elmer to follow up on a case when he suddenly fell ill and lost consciousness. Elmer caught the deputy, made sure he was breathing and then used Lassegard's radio to call for help.

“His quick actions not only kept deputy Lassegard safe, but also helped to prevent any further injury,” Bostrom said. Elmer, a retired Minnesota State Patrol trooper, said he was surprised how quickly ﬁrst responders arrived. Lassegard is doing well and back on the job. In February, a customer at Daubers Cafe choked on her lunch. Nita Ortiz, owner of the restaurant on Rice Street in Little Canada, quickly performed the Heimlich maneuver and dislodged the item. “The woman was adamant that if not for Ms. Ortiz and her swift ac– Photo courtesy of Randy Gustafson tions, she would have certainly died,” Bostrom said.

Bill includes augmentation study ST. PAUL — Lawmakers passed, and Gov. Mark Dayton signed, the omnibus agriculture and environment bill in special session, which included $100,000 to obtain cost estimates for augmenting water levels in White Bear Lake. The Department of Natural Resources, in cooperation with the Metropolitan Council, will look at the cost feasibility of augmenting White Bear Lake from the Sucker Lake Chain of Lakes. This chain of lakes is fed by the Mississippi River and advocates believe it may be the most viable option. However, the current cost estimates have a huge range — anywhere from $15 million to $55 million.

Part of the goal of this study is to narrow that range and get a better idea of what the actual end price tag would cost. The DNR commissioner must submit a report with cost estimates to the chairs and ranking minority member of the House of Representatives and Senate committees with jurisdiction over environment and natural resources policy and finance by Feb. 1, 2016.

medi. • A Mahtomedi man was cited for underage consumption at 2:18 a.m. June 13 near the Mahtomedi District Center. • A North St. Paul woman, 20, was arrested for third-degree DUI and driving after license revocation at 3:04 a.m. June 13 in the 1000 block of Wildwood Road in Mahtomedi. She also had a warrant and was cited for driving after license revocation. • A Stillwater man, 30, was arrested on a Department of Corrections warrant and cited for fleeing on foot and obstructing the legal process the early morning of June 13 on westbound Highway 36 and westbound I-694.

Gas station robber in prison by Kristine Goodrich Editor A man who pleaded guilty to robbing three gas stations at gunpoint was sentenced to five years in prison. Marcellus Shavez Tatum, 20, of Maplewood, is believed to have robbed SuperAmerica stations in White Bear Lake, St. Paul and Vadnais Heights last winter. In each incident, employees reported the robber wore a black sweatshirt emblazoned with a skeleton and with a hood that zipped over his face. Tatum pleaded guilty in March to three counts of felony aggravated robbery. On June 19 Tatum was sentenced to five years in prison, minus the 86 days he had already spent in jail. He is serving his time at the St. Cloud Correctional Facility. According to the criminal complaints: The first robbery was of the SuperAmerica on Century Avenue

in White Bear Lake on Dec. 6. An employee and a customer reported that the robber approached the counter with candy, showed a black handgun in his waistband and said “you know what to do.” The clerk gave him the money that was in the register, less than $200, and the man ran. The SuperAmerica on Seventh Street E. in St. Paul was robbed on Dec. 18. The robber reportedly pointed a black handgun at two clerks and demanded they “hand over the money.” He walked away with approximately $300. Tatum was caught after he attempted to rob the Vadnais Heights SuperAmerica on County Road E on New Year's Eve. He reportedly told the cashier to open the drawer and when the cashier said he couldn't open it and summoned another employee, Tatum showed them a gun in his waistband. A Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputy then just happened to pull up to the gas station while on patrol. The robber attempted to

leave before obtaining any money. The deputy detained the man as he exited. Observing Tatum's skeleton attire and recalling the White Bear Lake robbery, the deputy correctly suspected that he had just happened upon a robbery in progress. Tatum claimed he didn't remember anything between the time he walked up to the counter and he was taken into custody. He said he had mental health disorders and was hearing voices, according to the complaint. He has a replica BB gun in his waistband, which he claimed he carried for protection. In a later interview with a White Bear Lake Police Department investigator, Tatum reportedly admitted he had committed the robbery in White Bear Lake. Tatum also faces an unrelated domestic assault charge. He allegedly punched and kicked his girlfriend in the head on June 5 in front of witnesses and a surveillance camera in St. Paul. Tatum pleaded not guilty.

Man who allegedly stalked his ex faces multiple charges by Kristine Goodrich Editor A man is accused of stalking his exgirlfriend, including breaking into her house and intentionally crashing into her vehicle. Marquise Laron Rolbiecki, 21, of Fridley is facing a slew of felony and misdemeanor charges in connection with his repeated contacts with his 28-year-old ex-girlfriend, who lives in White Bear Township. According to criminal complaints and Ramsey County District Court records: Rolbiecki's ex-girlfriend reported that they lived together for approximately three months in late 2013 and possibly early 2014 and he since has been stalking and threatening her. A restraining order was issued in September 2014 after Rolbiecki was arrested following a domestic assault call involving his ex. He later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and the restrain-

ing order was extended. In March he was convicted of violating the restraining order in November. He also has pending charges for reportedly violating the order in January. In February, Rolbiecki allegedly broke into his ex-girlfriend's occupied home, chased his ex and forced open her bedroom door after she locked herself inside. She reportedly ran out of the house and called 911 on her cell phone. He reportedly grabbed the phone away from her and ran off. A man who was in the house corroborated the township woman's account of the incident, and a neighbor reported seeing Rolbiecki chase the woman outside and take her phone. Rolbiecki admitted he broke into the home and forced open the bedroom door, but denied taking the phone, according to the criminal complaint. He reportedly claimed he broke in because he was worried about the woman's welfare. He also reportedly claimed he had been living at the house for a month but didn't have a

Ramsey County Sheriff Reports The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents: WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • A burglary reportedly occurred the early morning of June 11 in the 1500 block of Seneca Trail. A female resident reported awakening to find a male figure in her bedroom. He was holding her wallet and a cell phone and fled when she awoke, she said. She initially thought it was a dream. Later she found damage to the television in her unsecured motorhome, leading her to realize someone actually had been at her residence, she said. The woman's daughter later noticed that $100 was missing from her unlocked vehicle that was in the garage. • A Shetland pony was found wandering on White Bear Parkway near Birch Pond Trail June 11. Deputies brought the pony back to its home in Gem Lake. • A woman on Otter View Trail reported June 12 that a new friend had stolen her vehicle. The vehicle was recovered in Forest Lake on June 17. • A man reported he forgot his wallet at the Holiday station on Highway 61 on June 12. Someone reportedly took the wallet and used his debit card to make three fraudulent purchases before he was able to cancel the card. VADNAIS HEIGHTS • An elderly Shoreview woman on June 10 reported identity theft after her purse was stolen from her shopping cart at the Vadnais Heights Wal-Mart on May 23. A credit card was used and new cards were opened in her name. • A deputy parked in a business parking lot near Berwood Avenue E. and Labore Road the early morning of June 12 was suspicious of a man walking in the area. The deputy suspected the man was a Berwood resident who has a very lengthy criminal history. When the man disappeared behind a truck, the deputy got out to investigate. The man then reportedly yelled obscenities and refused orders to take his hands out of his pockets. He then reportedly threatened to “beat” the deputy and charged toward the deputy. The deputy ran out of the man's path and radioed for backup. The man reportedly charged again and the deputy used a Taser. The man kept running but changed course; the Taser prongs were still in him and were pulled out of the device. The man soon after fell and became compliant after stating “I give up.” The man

was arrested for obstructing the legal process with force. Authorities confirmed the 46-year-old was indeed the career criminal who resides on Berwood. He had just been released from jail the day prior, following a drug possession arrest. • Two men got into a physical confrontation outside Perkins late on June 14. Both men declined to press charges. • The manager of the Self Storage facility on Highway 61 reported a suspicious man in a vehicle June 15. The man disappeared before deputies arrived and left his vehicle behind. Burglary tools, keys, locks and instructions on how to pick locks were found in the vehicle. The registered owner of the vehicle was contacted and reported he had recently sold the vehicle. The reported buyer of the vehicle was wanted on multiple warrants. The vehicle was impounded. • Theft from auto was reported June 16 at Festival Foods. • A 75-year-old man reported he lost his wallet while on a walk at Sucker Lake Park June 16. He retraced his route but couldn't find the wallet, which reportedly contained over $300. • A man reported June 16 that his locker at Public Storage on Birch Lake Boulevard had been burglarized. Electronics, a generator, a safe containing jewelry and other items reportedly were stolen, with an estimated value of more than $8,000. • A deputy checked on two suspicious people in the area of Fanum Road at 11:40 p.m. June 16. One person was in a parked vehicle with its lights on and a person with a flashlight was in the woods near the Simply Self Storage facility. The man in the woods claimed he was searching for a $20 bill that he had lost. The woman in the vehicle appeared to be hiding items as the deputy approached. The woman claimed she was searching for a lost ring. Drug paraphernalia was visible in the vehicle, prompting a search of the vehicle. Multiple checks from different accounts, all written out to the woman, were found in the vehicle. The deputy suspected the checks were fraudulent or received as part of the scam because the deputy recognized the name on one of the checks as an elderly Vadnais Heights resident who had recently been scammed. The woman was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia and suspicion of check forgery. Subsequent investigation revealed the woman was a hairdresser and the checks were legitimate payment for services provided.

key. Rolbiecki was charged with burglary, property damage, interfering with a 911 call and restraining order violation. He pleaded guilty to the felony burglary charge and is awaiting sentencing. On June 9, Rolbiecki allegedly threatened his ex, crashed his vehicle into her vehicle and resisted arrest. According to the criminal complaint, two witnesses reported seeing a man intentionally ram into a woman at Eighth Street and Long Avenue in White Bear Lake. One of the witnesses took photographs of the crash and the drivers in the photographs appear to be Rolbiecki and his ex-girlfriend, according to the complaint. The witness then followed the male driver and when a Ramsey County Sheriff deputy caught up to them, Rolbiecki got out of his vehicle and ran, the complaint alleges. Rolbiecki allegedly was caught by a White Bear Lake police officer, resisted arrest even after multiple officers intervened, and was subdued with stun guns.

Rolbiecki had a copy of the restraining order in his pocket, leading officers to go to the ex-girlfriend's house to check on her. The woman wasn't home; a broken window and a burning torch outside the residence were observed. When later reached by a WBLPD investigator, the woman reportedly confirmed she was the driver whom Rolbiecki struck. She reported Rolbiecki had been waiting at her residence when she came home before the crash and threatened to kill her. When she left, she said Rolbiecki chased her at speeds of up to 120 mph before he rammed into her at a stop sign. She said she wasn't sure when her house window was broken and suspected her ex left the torch. Rolbiecki was charged June 12 with stalking, domestic assault, restraining order violation, hit-and-run, fleeing police and obstructing the legal process — all of which are misdemeanors or gross misdemeanors. He made his first court appearance on June 17.

Opinion Future planning It’s difficult to watch aging PUBLISHER’S parents struggle as they try VIEW to downsize and find a home that will be safe and comfortable, and most importantly, where they want to live out their golden years. It has hit home for us these past few weeks as my mother-in-law has been in Connecticut CARTER JOHNSON trying to figure out the next step for her parents, who are in their mid-90s and living in their two-story home. With significant physical limitations and memory loss, it has become obvious — perhaps to everyone but them — they can no longer stay in their home. However, they never made plans or established directives for this situation. Waiting lists at assisted living and nursing homes in their area are too long. Their liquid assets are dwindling. My mother-in-law and her sister, nearly in their 70s themselves, feel a tremendous amount of stress and guilt over making decisions for their parents. Because they don’t live in Connecticut, there has been a lot of frustration and time spent figuring out where to go and what resources are available. They are trying to do their best but know their parents are going to be unhappy about the decisions they make. It’s so important when you have a clear mind to make plans that are well-communicated. No one wants to think there may come a time that they don’t have the mental or physical capacities to make their own decisions and control their own destinies. But things happen unexpectedly — at any age — and it’s in your best interest to make plans for a variety of scenarios. It also helps your family feel less stress, guilt or resentment when they are carrying out your directives. Choose a power of attorney should you become incapacitated so there is no question who is responsible for you. Let that person know what your assets are and how to access them. Have a plan for what to do with your house. Make it known which assisted living or nursing care facility you want to be at if you can’t go back home. Have a will and a living will. Make plans and you’ll have peace of mind knowing your wishes will be carried out if something happens to you. The best part is, none of those hard choices go into effect until the time comes you really need them to, and maybe you never will. Celebrate fathers As a father I often ask myself what qualities I hope to instill in my children — love, discipline, character, integrity, kindness, selflessness, independence? Ideally all of those and more, though I recognize my limitations. I’m usually not the parent who frosts the cupcakes, makes sure clean clothes are folded neatly in the drawers or sets up the schedule of activities and playdates. Often I am the parent who swoops in at dinnertime and demands the kids clean up the yard so I can mow the lawn. Sometimes I come home after an exhausting day and find it’s hard to get excited about playing basketball in the driveway or listening to every detail about the latest Lego invention, but I know it’s so important. I realize my dad struggled with those things, too, when we were growing up. I remember feeling on top of the world whenever I had my dad’s full-on attention, even if it was for just a few minutes. Dads provide a sense of security — they make you feel like nothing can get you when they are around. Even though Father’s Day has come and gone, write your dad a note or share your memories of quality time spent together. If you’re a father of young children, know that it’s ok that you bring a different set of skills to parenting, and remember that the best way to make a mark on who your kids become is simply by being there for them. — Carter Johnson is the publisher of Press Publications

From a nutritional standpoint, a diet ﬁlled with fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and good protein and fats will help us have better health outcomes. This type of diet may be easier to consume for some more than others however, and in summertime more so than in wintertime. Enter: the processed food. Processed food refers to any food that has undergone heat, chemical, or other manufacturing process that changes the food to various degrees from its natural state. The term is a bit of an umbrella, and includes foods that have been minimally processed, all the way to processed beyond recognition. The unfortunate thing for processed foods these days is that in effort to give quick, meaningful nutritional advice, ‘processed food’ is all lumped into one

NUTRITION QUEST

MEGAN BAUMLER category- a category to be minimized in the diet. Why? Processed food has saved us! Milk irradiation, yogurt, frozen and canned fruits and vegetables, tube feeding formulas, supplemental products such as Ensure, (and I’m pretty sure my daughter would add fruit leather to this list and I should probably add ice cream) are all processed foods that have improved nutritional status and prolonged life. We have our local food and nutrition professionals at the University of Minnesota and at the major food industries to thank for some of these processed foods. Thus, this recommendation to minimize intake of processed foods deserves clariﬁcation. When health professionals and medical agencies/institutions recommend minimizing intake of processed foods, they are referring to the foods that have a lot of add-

ed sugars and sodium- the types of processed foods that just add calories and additives to our diets, but not much in the way of nutritive value. For those that want more detail about which processed foods are OK and which aren’t, I offer you my modus operandi: consume foods that are closest to their natural state. This includes some minimally processed foods that are critically important for obtaining certain nutrients. Milk is a processed food, irradiated to contain vitamin D, which many of us are short on anyway. Yogurt is a processed food that contains beneficial bacteria that help us maintain immunity and keep our digestive tract healthy. Canned protein such as tuna, salmon, and chicken are convenient for maintaining protein intake (and omega-3 fatty acids from the fish). Canned beans are a pantry staple for an easy way to boost fiber in a meal or to make a pureed dip like hummus. Whole grain crackers, bread, pasta, and rice are also pantry staples for the carbohydrates that we need for energy. My freezer always contains fruits and vegetables for that gap when my fresh produce runs out before I have made it to the store. I

am thankful for these processed foods so that we can maintain a healthy diet. Heavily processed food is changing, in response to our gravitation towards more natural food. A recent article in the Star Tribune discussed how large local food industries are revamping products to cater to the new, more natural preferences of grocery shoppers, and dealing with diving sales of former mainstays such as Bisquick. Target is rapidly changing its food profile to include more organic and natural products. Unfortunately, unprocessed foods are simply not as profitable, unless of course we are talking about the Honey Crisp apple that was designed at the University of Minnesota. The patent on this delicious variety of apple is one of the most valuable that the University has. Beyond an occasional indulgence (Oreos that the in-laws brought? Can’t let them go to waste!) and beyond the minimally processed foods though, I primarily stick to foods that I have processed myself and I recommend the same for you. — Megan Baumler, PhD, RD, is a resident of White Bear Lake and has been practicing in the field of nutrition for over a decade.

Be aware of elder abuse More than likely, June 15th came and went on your calendar with little fanfare. Since 2006 though, June 15th has been designated World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD); a relatively under-the-radar day of awareness that usually goes by unnoticed, amidst the excitement of the coming summer. WEAAD seeks to bring awareness to aging, to our older generations, and the potential troubles they face. Aging is as inevitable as the sunrise. Growing older can be a time of profound enjoyment and reflection, looking back on the years and how they were spent. But there are dangers in those autumn years that go unspoken and largely unreported. Elder abuse, or abuse in later life, is a significant problem that will only grow more pronounced in the coming years. Neglect, maltreatment, financial exploitation, physical and emotional abuse pose mounting risks to older adults as their faculties fade and they become increasingly vulnerable and in need of care. Almost 50% of dementia patients have suffered some kind of abuse. Tragically, often it is the caretakers, family members, confidants that are responsible. Abuse in later life is not an isolated phenomenon. There are potentially five million victims each year nationwide. Presently 1 in 10 adults over 60 have been victimized, with incalculable psycho-

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

BRIAN STEPHENSON logical impact and nearly $3 billion in stolen assets. And with 10,000 baby boomers turning 65 everyday, these crimes will only become more prevalent. Looking forward, each and every community can (and needs to) take action. Community action does not need to be an act of Congress or a march on the Capitol. Action can be a little extra notice, a little extra care with the older adults in your life. If something seems out of place (unexplained bruises, lack of interest in previous passions, discomfort with everyday topics, unusual deference to a third party), ask questions to gain a better understanding. Questions like: - Is someone taking or using your money without your permission? - Are you afraid of anyone? - Is anybody hurting you? Inquiries like these can yield unexpected but critical responses if an older adult needs help. Alexandra House, with a

handful of other agencies, received a federal grant to develop community responses to abuse in later life. A collaborative task force from across Anoka County are building a system of accountability. Providing training for ﬁrst responders, law enforcement, legal professionals, and social workers to ensure we recognize the signs of abuse and know what questions to ask. A coordinated community response allowing best practices and awareness to be shared across agencies and sectors. Abuse in later life is happening around us. But with vigilance and focus, we can work to make our communities a safe and vibrant place, free of violence and abuse. Alexandra House is a nonproﬁt, community-based organization. Our mission is to empower victims of domestic and sexual violence, and inspire social change, through education, support and advocacy. We provide 24-hour emergency shelter, support services, and community advocacy to victims of domestic and sexual violence. Go to www.alexandra house.org to learn more about abuse in later life, how you can help a friend, or how you can seek safety and peace of mind for yourself.

Elevated Beer Continued from page 1A It's a trend that Widuch and Boland have witnessed firsthand in their Minneapolis liquor store, Elevated Beer, Wines, Spirits, and a trend that has prompted them to expand to White Bear Lake. Their second location, in their hometown, is due to open July 1. At one of the City Council appearances in the application and licensing process, Widuch quoted figures suggesting the craft beer market in the state is up from 5 or 6 percent of beer drinkers to 10 percent in just a few years. And it's continuing to grow. It's a trend on which these two White Bear natives, who cut their first entrepreneurial teeth delivering copies of the White Bear Press to households around the city as middle school classmates, have been able to capitalize. At Elevated's Minneapolis store, 60 percent of the total store sales is beer, and half of that, or 30 percent of total sales, is craft beer. The two say their reasons for selecting White Bear Lake as their first spot for expansion are threefold. First and most simply, it's an area they know inside out, having grown up in the city. Research into the best location was minimal; they knew the opportunity between Pezzo's Pizzeria and Edina Realty would be perfect. Second, they knew their hometown would work well for the north-suburb listeners of their radio show. "We have people who drive down from Blaine, for example, to go to our Minneapolis store and we are seeing a more convenient location for them in White Bear Lake," Boland said. Thirdly, they have seen firsthand how the city has already cultivated aspects of the craft beer movement and hope that Elevated will complement what's already in place. "White Bear Lake has been primed for a store

like us in terms of having Big Wood [Brewery and Tap Room] right there, and some of the better craft beer bars in the area, such as Washington Square and The Station," Widuch said. "We have been going there since our early 20s and Tom always talks about how he cut his craft beer teeth at the Square." Widuch and Boland met at the age of 12 as students at Sunrise Park Middle School. After graduating from White Bear Lake Area High School, the pair took different career paths; Widuch moved back to Chicago, where he had moved from with his family as a 9-year-old, to trade on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, while Boland worked in "the corporate world" of human resource technology for a local finance company. They reconnected after Widuch returned to Minnesota in 2007 and discovered a mutual love of craft beer and brewing batches at home. They gradually talked more excitedly about the possibility of starting up their own business, deciding that a liquor store specializing in craft beer would be their preference, rather than competing with the fledgling breweries popping up around the state. When the Hiawatha store came up for sale a few blocks from where Boland and his wife had just purchased a home, it seemed too good an opportunity to turn down. Both men continued working their full-time jobs (Widuch remotely, still for the Chicago Mercantile Exchange) in the early days, making for extremely long hours as they launched their business. "It's easy to get motivated when you are working for yourself and start to see your ideas gain traction; that really encourages you," said Boland. "It's easier to put in those long hours when it's something that you believe in and are pas-

sionate about." It's likely to be another round of long hours as the two launch the White Bear Lake store just two-and-ahalf years after opening the doors of their first location. In addition to all the on-sale craft beer establishments, White Bear Lake and the surrounding communities are home to a fair few offsale liquor stores already. So, why do Widuch and Boland think Elevated is different? Perhaps Widuch puts it best, when explaining the thinking behind the store's name. It's a name with a double meaning — Elevated refers both to the grain elevators sitting off Hiawatha Avenue at the first location, but also — "We're trying to take the modern liquor store to the next level." From informal customer interactions and the weekly radio show in which the two men offer guidance, advice and tastings of the best local brews, to the layout of the Minneapolis store (the 500-odd craft beers are arrayed geographically from West Coast to East Coast, with Minnesotan offerings falling right in the center), Widuch and Boland seek to share the knowledge they've acquired to enthuse their customers with the same passion they feel about their industry. It's an approach that has not gone unnoticed, even in the pair's 30 brief months in business. "Elevated Beer, Wines and Spirits has clearly demonstrated consumer education is a priority," said Schwarz, of the Minnesota Craft Brewers Guild, in a statement. "They have frequent in-store tastings, participate on a weekly radio show about Minnesota craft beer, and their staff is very knowledgeable."

Vadnais Heights Fire Chief Ed Leier, left and Sheriff Matt Bostom, right, congratulate Patrick Haider. U.S. Postal Service carrier Patrick Haider just happened to pass by as a fire ignited on a deck of a house in Vadnais Heights last month. Haider also happened to be a former Vadnais Heights firefighter. After encountering a man in the garage who reported that the house was occupied, Haider entered the home, alerted the occupants and escorted them outside. Then while surveying for injuries, Haider instructed a neighbor to call 911. “If not for [Haider's] swift action, the occu-

Matoska Memories

pants might not have known about the fire and might not have gotten out in time,” Bostrom said. Haider didn't stick around after firefighters arrived, he went back to delivering his route. “Not rain, sleet or snow, and now not a fire will stop him,” Bostrom joked. Bostrom called the three honoree's actions extraordinary, and not just cases of being in the right place at the right time. “This is not what normal people do. It is what normal people would want to do,” he said.

Deputies Mike Servatka and Don Rindal also were recognized for saving a Shoreview man who was in cardiac arrest in February. The deputies were first on scene and administered CPR and an AED on the man until paramedics arrived. The 68-year-old man was unresponsive for approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, but he survived and fully recovered. “His recover is due in no small part to their quick response and use of an AED and CPR,” Bostrom said.

RESOLUTE Continued from page 1A Presently the cohort members are suburban businessmen who pay $375 a year to participate. Miller's next goal is to expand to a broader demographic and fundraise to reduce or eliminate the participation fee for those to whom it would be a barrier. He's planning to start shorter-term groups this fall in St. Paul and Minneapolis targeted toward men who live in the inner city. In lieu of a fee, the participants will be asked to perform community service. He also aims to start cohorts at college campuses with a curriculum modified especially for young men, he said. Miller grew up in Cal- Miller ifornia, earned a bachelor's degree in ministry from Oklahoma Christian University and worked for a few years as a church youth leader in Oklahoma. His new bride, Christina Miller, who now owns a downtown White Bear Lake interior design company, convinced him to move to her home state of Minnesota. Vince Miller worked as an area director for Young Life, Christian ministry for middle and high school youths, for four years. The couple moved to Texas for a few years while Vince worked as a college ministry director for a church and as a chaplain for the Texas Christian University

football team. The opportunity for Vince to lead the Twin Cities area chapters of InterVarsity, a collegiate ministry, brought the Millers back to the Twin Cities in 2007. From 2010 to 2013, Vince served as director of program development for all of the Eagle Brook Church campuses. In that role he lead the strategic planning, development, staff training, evaluation and improvements for the megachurch's many ministries, he said. Since leaving to lead RESOLUTE, he has served in interim leadership roles at two churches. He also does some strategic planning and leadership consulting for church and nonprofit boards.

Get involved New RESOLUTE Cohorts are starting in August. Prospective participants are welcome to observe a session before then. A golf fundraiser will be held Monday, July 13 at N orth Oaks Golf Club. Cost is $175 and includes lunch and dinner. RESOLUTE is co-sponsoring a breakfast with professional football coach, NASCAR team owner and motivational speaker Joe Gibbs Aug. 5.

New Bear In Town By Brian Halverson The White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association’s newest ambassador made its debut in downtown White Bear Lake earlier this month and is set for an extended summer engagement bringing awareness to the association’s mission. The impressive 640-pound concrete bear sporting two pairs of skates, black breezers, an old-school jersey and a snug-fitting helmet has taken up residence in front of the Goodthings store — located on Fourth Street between Banning and Washington Avenues — for the next several weeks. It is one of just nine bears included in the AllAmerican Bears Tour, a community event developed by the White Bear Press for the annual Manitou Days celebration. The black and orange monument to youth hockey in and around White Bear Lake will greet city residents and visitors alike throughout Manitou Days and Marketfest. Be sure to pick up your All-American Bear Passport and list our bear as your choice for the “People’s Choice Bear” or “Mission Bear” or both!! A great time for that would be at our ‘Meet the Bear’ event:

Meet the Bear! Date: Thursday, July 16th 6 to 8pm Where: 4th Street (outside Goodthings) What's Happening: Get your Picture Taken with: The Bear & HS Hockey Boys and Girls Captains Results of our ‘Name the Bear’ poll will be announced Receive a FREE Rafﬂe ticket into a drawing for: $200 Gift Certiﬁcate for Strauss Skates $100 to Zappa's $50 to Hisdahl's .... and More! The WBLAHA invites you to join our Twitter campaign to help name our bear. Simply send us a tweet at @wblhockey with your suggestion using the hashtag #NameTheBearWBL by July 11. The best nominees will be selected from the submissions and a poll will be created on wblhockey.com for you to cast your vote to select the winning name. We’ll announce the name at our ‘Meet the Bear’ event.

A Storied History The WBLAHA has been one of the premier youth hockey associations in the state since its formation in 1968. That’s when association forefathers Jim Arend, Bob Atkinson, Don Hisdahl, Jim Shearen, Milt Stellmacher, Bob Samuelson and John Frederickson wrote its first by-laws en route to incorporating the White Bear Lake Hockey and Skating Association (WBLHSA) as it was originally known. Since then, the association has been a pioneer in the development of hockey players, coaches and philosophies. The list of WBLAHA players who have gone on to distinctive high school, college and professional hockey careers includes Hobey Baker Award winner Brian Bonin, 1980 Olympian Steve Janaszak and long-time NHL players such as Ryan Carter, David Tanabe and Justin Braun. But the WBLAHA is equally as proud of the majority of former players who have gone on to find great success outside the hockey world, many

of whom return year after year to share their time and coaching expertise with current players. It is a tribute to the founders and the hundreds of volunteers who have followed them that thousands of White Bear Lake boys and girls have not only learned the game of hockey, but more importantly, have had many memorable moments playing hockey in our association.

The Mission Nearly a half century has passed since the White Bear Lake Area Hockey Association embarked on its original mission to further the development of the sport of hockey in our community. Over the course of 47 years, the WBLAHA has remained true to its tenet of developing skilled hockey players while also stressing good sportsmanship, fair play and teaching each participant to accept both victory and defeat in a gracious manner. Our membership strives to achieve the following core principles: - Give each player the opportunity to participate to the best of his/ her ability. - Teach the fundamental skills of hockey through practice and game play. - To contribute to the social, emotional and physical development of players. - To reinforce the traits of commitment, loyalty, respect, responsibility and teamwork in all players.

Our Support From its origin of 60 families, the WBLAHA now boasts more than 600 families with over 800 boys and girls participating in the program from Clinic to Junior Gold. But registration fees only account for a portion of our operating funds. The association would not exist without generous contributions from our sponsors, fundraising events such as our annual golf tournament and local charitable gambling. Scheduled for Friday, July 24, at Tanner’s Brook Golf Club in Forest Lake, our 12th Annual Golf Tournament offers participants the opportunity to play with and/or against current and former collegiate and NHL players. Non-golfers are welcome to take part in the dinner and dance to follow. From pulltabs to bingo to raffles and more, many entertaining -- and potentially rewarding -- ways to help us achieve our goals are available at one of our four area charitable gambling locations.

The WBLAHA thanks the four local bars and restaurants for their continuing support of White Bear Lake youth hockey: Dave Cossack and Al Landerville - Sak’s Sports Bar TJ Ricci - White Bear Bar Doc Guerin - Doc's Landing New Owners - The Village Inn & Stadium

Come out and play! It’s all part of an ongoing effort to keep costs down for families who want to participate in our sport, pay for jerseys and equipment and perform rink repairs and upgrades. Every Fall we host an Equipment Swap Meet where first-year players have access to FREE equipment with low-cost gear available for everyone. In addition, beginning hockey players wishing to test out hockey’s frozen waters in our Clinic program can do so FREE of WBLAHA registration fees for a third straight season. So now’s the time to give hockey a try!!! More information can be found on the association’s website at www.wblhockey.com.

The senior housing complex's nonprofit owner wants to refinance with new tax-exempt bonds, which requires a government entity or entities to act as a conduit.

July 31: The 21st Relay For Life in White Bear Lake

The spirited Gulden’s Restaurant team, supporting survivor Mike Gengler (upper center), takes to the track after the Opening Ceremony. Virtually no one can be unaffected by cancer, whether in the family, workplace, neighborhood, or church community. We all at least know of and often journey with folks who are contending with the disease in one of its many forms. While not many of us may be research scientists, every one of us can join the fight by joining Relay. It’s easy, it’s fun, it’s great relationship-building and it’s not necessarily time-consuming, unless you want it to be. (Passion and commitment are great gifts and are most welcome in Relay!) So, we gather! We fill the stadium with overnight campsites. We fill the bleachers with teams and supporters to hear inspirational and heart-warming messages of survival and grateful appreciation of those who we cared for but who now live in our

hearts and memories. We ﬁnd many ways to honor, to remember, to celebrate, support and to renew our commitment to help end this disease. Please join us!! Individuals can start or join a team by simply logging on to the White Bear Lake Area Relay For Life website (www.wbrelay.org) and clicking on the “Sign Up” button. Money is raised in a variety of ways: team fundraisers (e.g. car washes, garage sales, sporting events, and rafﬂe tickets), collecting donations for luminaria—small white bags with candles inside— that illuminate the Relay track all night long to honor cancer survivors and remember loved ones who have died. We want you with us; please visit the website! Or, contact Marlene Lenz, WBL Relay team support lead, at marlene.lenz1963@gmail.com.

RELAY FOR LIFE

White Bear Lake High School’s South Campus stadium will once again be home to the annual Relay For Life, a fundraising and community building arm of the American Cancer Society (ACS). Starting at 6:00 PM, over 60 teams, over 225 cancer survivors and hundreds of family members and supporters will convene at South Campus to celebrate survivors, remember those we’ve lost and fight back against cancer and its devastating effects. The Relay begins at 6:00 PM on Friday, July 31 and runs until dawn of Saturday, August 1. Participants set up campsites and walk the track in shifts throughout the night. Moving ceremonies, good food and entertainment, a silent auction and tremendous opportunities to meet fellow survivors, caregivers and friends make up the event. In previous years, the football field has always been the campground—this year, because the installation of artificial turf is underway, team campsites will occupy all available stadium spaces surrounding the outside of the track. In 1984, the first Relay—organized by our founders, Keith and Patty Warner—consisted of a handful of teams and raised just over $71,000. Last year, the funds raised in White Bear Lake—over $221,000— pushed our cumulative total to over $4.5 million. There are over 5,000 Relays nationwide; White Bear Lake’s is the biggest in Minnesota and one the biggest in our five-state area. White Bear’s Relay has also earned a top 10 event quality ranking among all the Relays nationally.

CANCER HELP AND SUPPORT

While Relay For Life raises funds for research, it also reaches out to anyone affected by cancer and is committed to inform about resources and options and to be a source of care and encouragement for those journeying with cancer. And ACS, in addition to its vital research role (nearly $4 billion in research investment since 1946, with results evident in almost every cancer breakthrough since then), funds many support programs. A primary example is a 24-hour hotline (1-800-ACS2345) which provides support, information and referral to over 2,200 people every day! Having cancer is hard; ﬁnding help and support shouldn’t be!

Father has ‘high expectations’ for daughters by Emma Theis Staff Reporter Lee Shervheim’s family isn’t typical, b ut you wouldn’t know that just by talking to him. T he Lino Lakes man and his wife have seven children, including three daughters who have Down syndrome, and two of whom are adopted. Looking toward his daughters’ futures, Lee has been working to become an inf ormed advocate for them and plans to help make all their life goals and dreams a reality, regardless of their disabilities. Lee, with his wife Karen, 18-year-old twin sons Daniel and Andrew, son Sam, 14, biological daughter Annie, 11, adopted daughters Katie and Emie, both 11, and son Da vid, 8, have lived in Lino Lak es for ﬁve years after moving from North Dakota for a job c hange. Katie and Emie came fr om different parents, but both were living at the same or phanage in Kharkov, Ukraine. They joined the Shervheim family in 2008. Currently, the Shervheim f amily dwells on a unique spot north of Bald Eagle Lake. They have a Lino Lak es address, a Hugo zip code , and the c hildren attend White Bear Lak e Area Schools. Lee has been a de velopment manager in the polymers and plastics department at Medtronic for about 3.5 years and Karen is a stay-at-home mom, managing the bustling Shervheim home. Adoption: from the beginning After having one daughter with Down syndrome, Lee said they chose to adopt two more children with disabilities after he started thinking a bout his biolo gical daughter’s future and the type of companionship she would have. “Between my wife and I, w e couldn’t get it out of our heads,” he said. “So man y children need f amilies and w e knew we could potentially do something about it.” As they were looking into the adoption process from Eastern European countries, Lee and Kar en discovered it was very common for parents who delivered a child with disabilities to abandon the baby at the hospital. T hose abandoned babies end up in or phanages until a bout the a ge of 5 or 6 and then are transferred into mental institutions containing adult populations. The Shervheim adoption story is dif ferent than other adoption stories. Many families wanting to adopt sometimes wait months and years for the child they wish to bring into their family. Working with R eece’s Rainbow, an adoption grant foundation out of Maryland that helps facilitate adoptions for orphans with Down syndrome, the Shervheim’s entire adoption process took less than a year. In the fall of 2007, Lee and Kar en decided they wanted to adopt two children and star ted the pa perwork. They had found Katie and another little boy through Reece’s Rainbow, but it was a race a gainst time because Ka tie was reaching the age where she could ha ve been transfer red to a mental

institution. In June 2008, the call came for the Shervheims to go to Ukraine and complete the adoptions. Unfortunately, every step in the Shervheims’ adoption process posed challenges and hurdles. When the Shervheims got to Ukraine, they discovered that the little boy they had been interested in was no longer available. Lee and Karen decided to look at other children to see if any would be a fit with their family, in addition to Ka tie. The couple came across a photo of a little girl (Emie) who was laying on her tummy with her head up (Lee said it look ed like kind of like what a tur tle would do). “We had that exact same picture of Annie in our living room and my wife and I both looked at each other and knew that we needed to get Emie as well,” said Lee. Planning to be out of the country f or only about three weeks, the four ended up staying in Ukraine six weeks waiting for processing and paperwork to be finalized through the government. Finally home After weeks of waiting, the Shervheims w ere finally able to take Katie and Emie home. But the challenges didn’t end there. “The unvarnished truth is that bringing those two kids in our life, whether they had a disa bility or not, was r eally disruptive to our f amily,” said Lee Shervheim. “T hey came with so many issues that we had not anticipated.” For one, language was a hug e barrier. Katie and Emie didn’t understand English and the Shervheims knew a minimal amount of Russian. The first thing the f amily did was to teach the girls sign language, and that served as their primary way of communicating for six to nine months bef ore the girls started to pick up English. Katie and Emie also str uggled with their loss of familiarity and basic understanding of childhood behaviors. They didn’t understand the concept of playing, Lee said. The girls’ idea of play was to take everything off the shelves and throw it on the floor. According to Lee, the first couple years after the adoption were really rough, but every year has become progressively better. “[Katie and Emie] no w know us as their f amily and they are a super integral part of our family,” said Lee. Building a future in Minnesota Shervheim family members have found a lot of support in their local community through a variety of programs. After they started attending Eagle Brook Church in Lino Lak es, they made many friends who surrounded their family with support and love. Eagle Brook is also where the Shervheims met their cur rent personal car e attendant, who works for them four to five times a week. Katie, Emie and Annie are all involved with the ECFE program at Otter Lake Elementary School and participated in the Young Athletes Program through the White Bear Lak e YMCA until they got in volved with the Special Ol ympics Minnesota White Bear Lak e team. T he girls participate in

the bowling, basketball and track and fi eld events and Lee volunteers as a coach. “There have been so man y doors that have been opened for our family as a r esult of having kids with disa bilities,” said Lee. “So amazing things have happened. We never would have met such amazing people if our girls didn’t have a disability.” The three Shervheim girls all have unique interests. Katie is the athlete. She loves sports, has g reat coordination and has played one season of Miracle League baseball in Blaine. Annie is the fashion queen. She loves to put together outfits and experiment with spar kly jewelry and mak eup. Emie loves to organize and do detailed things with her hands . She also has a phenomenal memory and can beat the whole family in a memory g ame they play. Emie and Annie also par ticipate in a drama and acting class on Saturday afternoons. Lee said tha t he will k eep setting the bar high f or his daughters and encoura ging them to f ollow their dr eams and passions. He wants to see his daughters lead acti ve and healthy lifestyles, live independently with appropriate support, be able to drive cars, and fall in love and get married. “We have high expectations for them, regardless of their Down syndrome diagnoses,” said Lee . “That’s just par t of them being a part of my family.” Lee also serves as a le gislative ambassador the Na tional Down Syndrome Society. He was acti ve in g enerating support for the ABLE (Ac hieving a Better Life Experience) Act, which was signed into federal la w by President Barack Obama on Dec. 19, 2014. The ABLE Act allowed tax-free savings accounts for individuals with disabilities to cover qualified expenses such as education, housing and transportation. Partners in policymaking Shervheim recently completed a program called Partners in Policymaking. The advocacy training program that covered the history of the disa bility and self-ad vocacy movements, inclusive education, supported living, and avenues to influence county, state and federal legislative processes. Lee said that through the training pr ogram, he met people with disa bilities living independent, productive lives and learned about all the possibilities tha t are out there for people with disabilities. “I think my girls can do almost anything they want to do ,” he said, “and tha t’s what I want to help them become.” Beyond that, Lee said he would like to serve on some sort of panel, commission or council that would help promote the needs of people with disabilities and let the world know that people with disabilities have value and worth and can add to the whole framework of life. “The message is tha t it r eally doesn’t matter where you started or where you came from,” said Lee. “There are endless opportunities for everyone, whether they have disabilities or not. They deserve a shot.”

National home builder wants to develop Hugo farm ﬁeld By Debra Neutkens Editor HUGO — Before getting too much skin in the game, a developer is testing the water to see if city leaders ar e receptive to its housing plans. D. R. Horton, a company that calls itself "America's Builder," presented a conce pt plan to City Council a t its June 15 meeting. Named Clearwater Cove, the residential development includes 89 lots on v acant land south of Frenchman Road (CSAH 8) and east of Everton Avenue next to Victor Gardens. The 32-acre property is o wned by Marvin LaValle, who signed a contract with the company to develop two parcels south and east of Clearwater Creek that would include the homes, stormwater ponding, a park, and sidewalk, trail and road connections. The developer is looking f or comments from City Council before moving forward in the approval process, said City Administrator Bryan Bear. Thirty-two homes would be built in Phase One of the pr oject with Oneka P arkway to Frenchman Road being constr ucted in Phase Two. A homeo wners association would also be esta blished for the de velopment to maintain community ar eas, landscaping and possibly a water reuse system.

Variances will be r equested for setbacks to make the lots smaller than r equired by ordinance. A minimum lot siz e would be 8,100 square feet, for example, when 10,400 is required; width would be 65 feet w hen 80 is required and a front yard setback of 25 feet is proposed where 30 is r equired. A 30-foot rear yard setback matches the required ordinance. "The developer is asking f or flexibility," noted Rachel Juba, city planner. Described as quality homes with quality materials, square footage would range from 2,500 to 3,500 with two- or three-car garages. There would be eight housing styles fr om which to choose. Horton Land De velopment Manager Mike Suel told the council his compan y is a "one-stop shop" as both de veloper and builder. They hope to b uild the fi rst model in November for a spring opening. When asked the price point, he said upper $300,000 to mid $400,000 with upgrades. Named after its f ounder, D.R. Horton has built homes in 27 sta tes for more than 35 years, according to its website. The company is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas with a Minnesota office in Lakeville. Mayor Tom Weidt said he a ppreciates the builder's willingness to tackle the water reuse issue (f or irrigation), something not discussed before with single-family homes, adding, "in a perfect world, Oneka Parkway

Councilman Phil Klein said Clearwa ter Cove looks lik e "a beautiful de velopment." He also asked about streetlights, which Suel said they install. "W alkable communities with good lighting ar e big sellers ," he told council. When asked by Councilwoman Becky Petryk if people are happy with the lot size, Suel said the company has had good success

hman

with those lots. Most of the property will be in the rear and offer scenic views of stormwater ponds or Clearwater Creek. Juba said staf f believes the la yout exceeds the city's standar ds for residential developments. The proposed properties are guided as lo w-density residential, according to the 2030 land use plan, making the concept consistent with the city’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan.
