WHITE BEAR LAKE — Five people were injured and six people were displaced by a house fire on Roth Place. Four occupants of the home and a firefighter were taken to area hospitals during the fire on May 29. Two of the occupants and the firefighter were treated and released; two occupants were admitted but are expected to recover. Multiple fire departments responded to the fire that started around 3 p.m. at 2297 Roth Place, near Sunrise Park Middle School. A large portion of rambler was already engulfed when the firefighters arrived, said White Bear Lake Fire Department Assistant Fire Chief Joel Hewitt. A grease fire started the blaze,

MAHTOMEDI — A longtalked-about affordable senior complex cleared another hurdle last week. The Washington County Board authorized the issuance of bonds to help fund the 79-unit facility on the site of the former Piccadilly restaurant. The facility and a public courtyard at the entrance to the city's downtown are on a timeline to open in fall of 2016. The complex, which will be known as Piccadilly Square, will have three stories above an underground parking garage. It will have 60 one-bedroom units with rents ranging from approximately $725 to $950 and 19 two-bedroom units that will rent for $1,130. It will be open only to lower-income seniors, with an approximately $30,000 income limit for a single person and approximately $34,000 for a couple. Outside the complex there will be a square with amenities including benches and a sign mapping area trails. The square will be open for public use. The total cost of the project is estimated at $16.5 million. The County Board approval to issue $12 million in bonds is part of the complex funding and ownership plan, explained Washington County Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) Deputy Director Melissa Taphorn.

You'll never guess who's turning 50. Paul R. Bear. Who is that you might ask? None other than the iconic bear that sits high above Polar Chevrolet. A birthday party is planned Saturday, June 27 for the bear at the Highway 61 dealership. More details are coming, but plans are to celebrate the entire month. General Manager Jim Thelen, who coincidentally is also turning 50 this June, provided a few stats on the giant white bear: • He was built for $25,000 by the Mason Sign Company in 1965. • He is 35 feet tall and weighs 5 tons. • He is made of wire mesh and plaster. The bear received a fresh coat of paint for his big day, Thelen said. It takes 11 gallons of paint to cover him. There are no plans to paint clothing on the bear, which has been done in the past. "We couldn't get a party hat big enough, so we decided to go more traditional," Thelan noted. "He's 50 after all, so he should look distinguished." The dealership plans to run ads announcing

Bear's half-century mark, as well as TV commercials, including an actual '70s commercial early in the month. The bear will come down off his post and talk about his birthday in a new commercial Polar plans to air. "It will be fun. Everyone knows the bear," said Thelan, who has worked at Polar Chev more than 20 years. "I think people will be surprised to hear he's 50." Is he having a hard time turning 50 as well? "No, not at all," Thelan said. "I couldn't care less.

Actually this is good timing so I don't have to talk about my birthday and we can focus on his." — Debra Neutkens

Public Safety Briefs Man sentenced on charges he sexually abused 2 girls A man who pleaded guilty to molesting two young girls at a White Bear Lake apartment complex was sentenced to nearly 16 years in prison. One of the victims was his girlfriend's daughter and the other was a neighbor. In April, Matthew Dale Reak, 36, of Eagan pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct on a Reak minor age 13 or under. He was sentenced on May 26 to 187 months in prison, minus time already served. He could be released on probation after nearly 125 months. He's also required to remain on the sex offender registry for the remainder of his life. According to the criminal complaints, the White Bear Lake Police Department first investigated an assault report on April 21, 2014. A mother claimed that her daughter said Reak had tickled her genital area while she was playing outside. The girl's age and the location of the incident were redacted from the complaint. Reak was dating another woman who lived in the apartment complex and had two daughters. That woman reported observing multiple instances in which she suspected Reak had sexual contact with her younger daughter. The girl, who was 8 years old when the charges were filed, told an interviewer at the Midwest Children's Resource Center that Reak had been molesting her regularly for several years. Reak at one point fled to Mexico after the first charge was filed. He was located by U.S Marshals and returned to Minnesota. Reak has a 2003 federal conviction of possession of child pornography and was registered as a sex offender. The woman whom he was dating said she knew about the conviction but believed his claim that he had accidentally downloaded the pornography.

the infant at the time the baby became unresponsive, reportedly gave conflicting statements to law enforcement and child protection workers. He first claimed he left the baby briefly and returned to find the baby not breathing. Later he said the baby fell from the footrest of a recliner. Later he said he had tripped over his son in a baby seat. Lastly he claimed the baby fell approximately 2 feet from a baby carrier. Doctors concluded that none of those scenarios could have caused the â&#x20AC;&#x153;devastating and permanent injuriesâ&#x20AC;? the baby sustained, the complaint stated. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kristine Goodrich

To Sell or Buy a Home . . . Man charged in injury crash A man allegedly was intoxicated when he rear-ended a vehicle on Highway 61 and seriously injured one of its passengers. White Bear Lake police officers responded the evening of May 24 to a Prius in the ditch on northbound Highway 61 near 10th Street. According to the criminal complaint, the passenger of the Pruis and two witnesses reported a red car had rear-ended the Prius and continued northbound. The driver of the Prius lost consciousness before she was taken to a hospital. She was later diagnosed with a concussion and cervical strain. A few minutes after the accident, Jacob Daniel Manitz, 23, of White Bear Lake, called 911 and reported he had been involved in an accident in White Bear Lake. Manitz was confused and couldn't provide his location, but he was found after authorities pinged his cell phone. His car had heavy damage. According to the complaint, Manitz reported that a vehicle in front of him had stopped suddenly and he rear-ended it, causing it to go into a ditch. He said he didn't know where to stop so he drove a few blocks. Manitz appeared intoxicated, according to the complaint, and he tested 0.20 on a preliminary breathalyzer. Manitz was charged May 26 in Ramsey County District Court with felony criminal vehicular operation.

Bank employee charged with theft A teller supervisor reportedly admitted to stealing nearly $86,000 from the White Bear Lake branch of Wells Fargo Bank. Jonathan David Peterson, 32, of North Branch, was charged May 20 with felony theft. He admitted to taking $85,600 from his cash drawer, according to the criminal complaint. He allegedly told a White Bear Lake Police Department investigator he used the money for gambling and personal expenses. He reportedly tried to replace most of the missing funds by making a fraudulent withdrawal from the bank account of the Pheasants Forever organization. Peterson also reportedly tried to access the bank branch after hours on May 17, the same day he had ordered $160,000 be brought to the bank. Bank officials had by then deactivated his entry code. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bank investigators feared that the defendant may have been attempting to gain access to that $160,000 cash in an effort to flee,â&#x20AC;? the criminal complaint stated.

A White Bear Lake man allegedly robbed two men at gunpoint in a South St. Paul parking lot on Memorial Day. Issa Mohammed Aboud, 19, also reportedly assaulted one of the men. The criminal complaint alleges that Aboud pointed a gun at two men in a vehicle outside an apartment complex and demanded money or he would shoot them. As the men got out of the vehicle, Aboud reportedly pushed and hit one of them, causing minor injuries. Aboud reportedly took their wallets and threw their car keys before he left in a vehicle. The alleged victims found the keys quickly and pursued Aboud while calling 911. Police officers located them in St. Paul and arrested Aboud. A shotgun and $1,610 was found in Aboud's vehicle. The complainants said they had been robbed of $1,630. A $20 bill was found at the alleged robbery site. Aboud reportedly said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just [expletive meaning â&#x20AC;&#x153;ruinedâ&#x20AC;?] my whole life up in one night.â&#x20AC;? He declined to say anything further to the arresting officers. Aboud was charged last week in Dakota County District Court with first-degree aggravated robbery and second-degree assault. Both charges are felonies.

Garage destroyed by fire A May 24 fire destroyed a garage and its contents, but the house was saved. The resident at 4027 Gisella Boulevard reported his garage was on fire on that Sunday afternoon. The detached garage was already fully involved when firefighters arrived, according to Assistant Fire Chief Joel Hewitt. The fire was mostly contained to the garage, with some damage to the exterior of the adjacent house. The firefighters â&#x20AC;&#x153;worked quickly, kept the fire from spreading and saved the home,â&#x20AC;? Hewitt said. The cause of the fire wasn't immediately known. There were two vehicles inside the garage. One firefighter was taken to a hospital with asthma issues. He was treated and released.

Opinion Take me out to the ballgame For many years Press PUBLISHER’S Publications has partVIEW nered with the St. Paul Saints, exchanging season tickets for promotions in the paper. We use the tickets primarily to support local nonprofit fundraising events, as well as to recognize CARTER JOHNSON our newspaper carriers, staff and customers. Last week our carrier supervisor Gene Annis used tickets for the Saints vs. Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks game to take his mom, visiting from California, and friends Al Cassell and his wife, Jody, of Centerville, to check out the new stadium. Gene is an avid baseball fan and card collector. They couldn’t have imagined they would be part of something that evening that went viral on media outlets around the country. As Gene and his guests were settling into their seats, the hitter’s bat came flying into the stands. Al stood up and reached out his hand to catch it, mostly to protect himself, and caught the bat with one hand. He had a beer in his other hand, and as the national newscasters commented, he didn’t spill a drop. Gene said as they looked around he got a thumbs up from Saints coowner, actor Bill Murray. Al did have to give the bat back to the Redhawks player, but he received another bat and a ball as souvenirs. The video of the catch became a YouTube sensation last week, hitting more than 1.1million views. I hadn’t heard it went viral until I happened to see it on “The Today Show.” Another staff member saw it on “Morning Joe”, with show co-anchor Willie Geist calling it “perhaps the best catch in the history of the independent league.” It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I couldn’t be happier Gene and friends got to be a part of it. If you are interested in our St. Paul Saints tickets, bid on them at one of the silent auction events to which we donate. BBQ dangers Summer kicks into high gear with the smell of any barbeque. Just a few years ago I learned some barbeques are sending people to the hospital, and not from uncooked food or spoiled potato salads sitting in the hot sun for the afternoon. It’s the wire bristles from the grill brush that can contaminate your food and get stuck in your gut. The grill brush phenomenon is not new — it started with poor quality, low-cost grill brushes. As we fired up the grill at the Press for the first informal summer picnic, I cleaned the grill only to find the brush had shed wire bristles. They were not easy to see. Patty Steele, our multi-media manager, said I shouldn’t use a brush but rather a crumpled-up wad of aluminun foil to rub on the grill racks. I tried it, and sure enough it was cleaned. Others mentioned first covering the grill surface with aluminum foil, closing the lid and turning it on high for a few minutes so everything burns off, then letting it cool and rubbing foil on the grates. This summer as you enjoy your BBQ, maybe set aside the grill brush and try the aluminum foil trick. It may just keep you or your guests out of the emergency room. — Carter Johnson is the publisher of Press Publications

The importance of grit Scanning the courtyard wall of a junior high school on the outskirts of a West African town, American visitors study a list showing the academic ranking of all the students attending the school. Nearby an eighth grade girl watches shyly. “Is your name on the list?” a visitor asks. “Yes. My name is Victoria,” she replies in a quiet voice. The visitor ﬁnds her name. “Your name is near the top of the list. Victoria, you have done well.” Victoria nods and smiles. “To have done so well in all of your subjects, you must study hard. How much time do you study each night after school?” “Three hours.” More questions -- and then a surprising discovery. Victoria does indeed study three hours each day outside of school, the visitor learns, one hour late each evening after she has cared for her younger brothers and sisters, helped with dinner, and completed laundry. For the other two hours she rises at 3 a.m., and studies for two hours until 5 a.m. Studying completed, she begins her two hour walk from her village to school.

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

MICHAEL LOVETT “Victoria, do you have a big dream of what you would like to do with your education?” Eyes downcast but with a faint smile, she replies, “Yes... but I do not want to say.” Victoria has grit, a combination of perseverance, stamina, and courage that allows some to continue to drive towards a goal when others would give in or give up. In our schools students demonstrate grit: consider the high school boy who gets early up to take an extra class during “zero hour” to increase his prospects for college. Because the class meets before the buses pick up, he walks the four miles to school, but tells no one. Consider the many teachers who are tireless in personalizing classes for each student, and

What does grit look like? What difference does it make? make a point to get to their outside activities. Consider the principal who studies achievement data for every child in the school, regularly coaches staff, checks on individual students and families, and never gives up Consider the custodian, secretary, bus driver, kitchen staff, and paraprofessional who inspire everyone with their commitment to giving their best every day, most often out of the spotlight. Consider our class of 2015, who I have watched through middle and high school, each with their personal and sometimes private dreams to improve, to achieve, and to prepare for college and career. What does grit look like? What difference does it make? Grit includes three dimensions: a goal; motivation or sense of purpose to achieve the goal; and perseverance and persistence

Art helps connect people of all backgrounds I recently attended a lunch hosted by White Bear Lake Area’s Chamber of Commerce. The program, “Attracting the Millennial Creative Class” addressed how communities might be more successful attracting the new generation of highly educated young adults, often referred to as the Creative Class. I learned that the Twin Cities ranks only 19 among the top 25 metro areas in the country for attracting people; however #1 in retaining folks once we get ‘em here. I am one of those folks. Back in my twenties my husband and I were looking for a new place to live, to raise a family. We had moved to San Diego because we thought we might as well look for jobs where the weather was ideal and the living, easy. Five years later, the weather was boring and we couldn’t afford even the most modest of homes. It was time to leave. I spent months researching places to live. Minnesota won out because of the arts. I knew that places where the arts thrive tend to be more culturally diverse and sophisticated. Not “snooty sophisticated” but the kind that comes from being exposed to diverse ideas and perspectives, I

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

SUZI HUDSON call it an “openness to otherness.” I also believe that the arts tend to cultivate more emotional empathy in people. A sort of understanding that stems from art’s ability to unmask human commonalities, usually hidden by our daily outward appearances. While Minnesota boasts being #1 for overall retention of newcomers; its rate drops to #14 for people of color. Both speakers advised we must improve social inclusion in order to continue thriving. My husband and I both happen to be white. We’ve lived here now nearly 30 years. However, when I starting “sporting” pink hair several years ago after a bout with breast cancer, I noticed a curious change. While most strangers simply smile or try not to stare, I’ve had people snarl, “What’d, ya loose a bet?” or, “Are you a clown?” Usually I laugh. This

pink hair thing is just a way to celebrate my joy of being alive, a playful response to having once been bald. But whenever I experience a stranger’s subtle hostility to something as silly as the color of my hair, it gives me pause. It makes me think about my own attitudes. How do I respond to people who are “unlike” me? Am I truly open? I come back to the arts as my teacher. Art reminds me to stay open. I’m awed by our human individuality, and yet art points out profound similarities underneath it all. For me, art conﬁrms we are all connected to the same human tribe. So how will we thrive as a community for the future? Maybe practice a little more “openness to otherness?” Maybe try being a little more inclusive and welcoming? Not only will we attract the Creative Class, we might realize we are already part of an even greater creative class: Human Beings. But beware. You might also discover you have a rainbow hiding in your own hair. — Suzi Hudson is the Executive Director, White Bear Center for the Arts

to reach the goal, no matter what impediments or challenges we face. In the examples above, student and staff goals are personal, and often bold and compelling. Such goals often require an extra measure of courage. What about Victoria? What of her goal? As the American visitors ﬁnish their tour and walk toward their car, a group of students run across the dusty ﬁeld, Victoria is at the lead, head up and smiling. Almost out of breath, she asks with utmost politeness: “Please, sir, might we have your address?” We might learn about Victoria’s big dream after all. What about the big dreams of our graduates? In the coming weeks most will be eager to tell. Ask and be inspired. — Michael Lovett is the Superintendent of White Bear Lake Area Schools

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

Ramsey County Sheriff Reports The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents: WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP • Theft from auto was reported May 20 in the 5500 block of Bald Eagle Boulevard W. • A worker at the Cub Foods liquor store reported that an intoxicated woman drove away after the employee refused to sell to her May 22. A responding deputy located the woman walking out of the nearby MGM liquor store. The woman committed two driving infractions in a few moments as she headed northbound on Centerville Road and then didn't immediately pull over. She stopped at White Bear Woods Apartments, where she resides. She admitted to drinking a bottle of vodka and refused to take a breathalyzer. The 62-year-old was arrested for second-degree DWI-refusal. • An intoxicated woman reportedly pushed, kneed and yelled at her husband May 22 on Lakeview Avenue. She was arrested on potential domestic assault, fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct charges. • A woman on Provence Lane reported May 26 that a stolen check was used to make a nearly $300 purchase at the Vadnais Heights Wal-Mart. She said she had placed the check in her mailbox and it apparently was stolen, washed and reused. VADNAIS HEIGHTS • A man and a woman reportedly shoplifted from Wal-Mart and the man allegedly also assaulted two employees May 15. They reportedly stole an inflatable mattress. When a loss prevention officer confronted them in the parking lot, the man reportedly punched the officer as the officer tried to call 911. The officer retreated but the man allegedly pursued and delivered additional punches. When another loss prevention officer came out and tried to call 911, the man allegedly slapped the phone away and punched that officer. The pair fled but were located and arrested at Mad Jack's. The man, 18, was booked on potential assault, interfering with a 911 call, disorderly conduct, property damage and shoplifting charges. The woman, 23, faced a shoplifting charge. • A 1998 white Acura reportedly was stolen from a driveway in the 100 block of Star Circle overnight May 19-20. The owner reported he had locked the vehicle's doors and placed a lock on the steer-

ing wheel. • Patio doors were broken out at Jimmy's Conference Center at around 2 a.m. May 21. An employee thought she saw one or two figures inside the banquet room. • Two theft from auto reports were received May 23 on County Road F. • Theft from auto was reported May 23 in the 300 block of Oak Ridge Drive. • An elderly man on Greenbrier Street reported May 23 that two unauthorized withdrawals totaling $6,000 had been made from his bank account. The report is under investigation. • A woman reported the father of her children punched her and left with her cell phone May 23 at Willow Ridge Apartments. The man, who was living at a homeless shelter, was mailed citations for domestic assault, fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct. • After seeing two suspicious men outside her vehicle as she left Perkins, a woman realized items were missing from her vehicle May 25. She followed the vehicle occupied by the men and reported its license plate to 911. A deputy recalled seeing that vehicle a short time earlier in the WalMart parking lot (it was memorable because a license plate check revealed its owner has a lengthy criminal history). Surveillance video from WalMart was shown to the complainant from Perkins and she identified them as the men seen near her vehicle. The deputy recalled the men had been known to frequent the Public Storage facility on County Road B in Little Canada. That facility was checked and the men were found there along with a woman. Items reportedly stolen from the vehicle at Perkins were found in the vehicle the men had been in. The St. Paul man, Florida man and Columbus woman, who all have criminal histories, were arrested for possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools. A search warrant was executed May 27 on their storage locker and investigators were trying to determine if any of its contents were stolen property. • A Valento Circle resident reported an attempted telephone scam May 26. The caller claimed the resident had won money but needed to send money to claim the prize.

Letters to the Editor Reexamine zoning Scott Nintzel WHITE BEAR TOWNSHIP — In response to Jim Muellner’s letter titled “Zoned out”: Zoning rules should change with the needs of the community. Jim Muellner’s business refurbishing donated and salvaged bikes for kids is good stuff. It’s good for the 10 retired fellows that do the work for free. It's good for the young people Jim teaches about bike repair and business. It’s good for White Bear Lake. I am asking city of White Bear Lake leaders to reexamine their zoning rules that are preventing this good work from continuing, and to please do it quickly.

Beautiful room Dan and Molly Guidinger WHITE BEAR LAKE — We recently hosted a White Bear Yacht Club Sailing Division party at the Boat Works Commons Maritime Community Room. This new space, which opens up onto a patio and courtyard, is beautiful and worked really well for our group of 100. There's a Johnson C Scow mounted on the wall and soon there will be historical maritime photos hanging as well. We'd like to thank the city of White Bear Lake for creating this multiuse space for our community. It was a joy to work with Anne Kane, the community development coordinator, and we look forward to enjoying this room in the years to come. If you are looking for a space to have your next gathering, be sure to consider the Maritime Community Room.

More senior housing on horizon by Debra Neutkens Regional Editor WHITE BEAR LAKE — The city seems ripe for senior housing as another 100plus units are being considered on Centerville Road. Oppidan Investment Company, developer of the former K-mart site known as White Bear Marketplace, plans to submit a plan later this month for a possible senior living project. The proposal is predicated, however, on the city selling some land. The commercial developer purchased two properties totaling 7 acres a year ago in the 4600 block across from the township's' Cub Foods. The land was owned by heirs of Jarmila Lande, who died in 2008. City staff met with Oppidan representatives in developing a mixed-use planned unit development and acquiring any excess land associated with the municipal water tower property that separates the two private parcels. Eden Prairie-based Oppidan and a partner, Division 25 LLC, are planning to build a 110-115 unit senior housing project on one parcel and a 40,000- to 45,000-square-foot retail building on the second. Acquiring the water tower land is critical to the proposal. "It's unusual for the City Council to discuss a proposed project before the formal application goes through the Planning Commission," said City Manager Mark Sather May 26, "but this proposal is predicated on the city selling some of its land." To "respect the process," he asked the council not to comment on the merits, but only direct questions to the land sale. The city manager wanted to determine whether the council was interested in selling land purchased for the water tower before the project moves forward. It will require a four-fifths vote to sell the city property, currently a 1.9-acre site that would be cut to 0.7 acres. The plan also calls for alignment of an internal road opposite the Cub Foods ac-

cess across the road, which likely will get a signal. Councilman Dan Jones asked City Planner Anne Kane if she knew rental prices for the proposed three-story facility. Kane said she did not, but the manager is Ebenezer, the same firm that manages Pioneer Manor. He was concerned about the quick timeline, Jones said, since the developer plans to break ground in August. Councilman Kevin Edberg said the process was not typical and said the city needs to be sure it's not a case of the "tail wagging the dog." "This requires a high level of review. Are you comfortable we won't be forced into making decisions inconsistent with other variance requests, etc.?" he asked Kane. The city planner said she doesn't feel it will be an expedited review process. Division 25 Manager John Johannson said his group plans to submit a formal application to the Planning Commission prior to June 29 for the July agenda. In a letter to Kane, Johannson said access to and from the water tower would be relocated and provided via a newly designed and paved access drive for the center paid for by the adjoining properties at no cost to the city. Due to the competitiveness of the senior housing market, Oppidan is anxious to break ground as soon as possible, he said. "If a new senior housing project were to break ground in a nearby community, it would have a significant impact on the feasibility of the project proposed for White Bear Lake," Johannson wrote. Edberg asked if staff was aware of any proposed senior housing developments in the area that might undermine this one? "I am not aware of any," Sather said. "Two projects, one in Vadnais Heights on County Road E and one in Hugo, are much farther along." Oppidan has a similar senior project under construction in Woodbury.

Piccadilly Continued from page 1A An investment firm called Enterprise Community Investments will own more than 99 percent of the property for 15 years and will fund a little more than a quarter of the development costs. For 15 years, the HRA will own less than 1 percent of the property but will manage its operations. Public funds are financing nearly three-fourths of the project. In addition to HRA levy reserves, bonds, loans and city of Mahtomedi tax increment financing, the public financing also has included a Metropolitan Council grant. Rental revenue is expected to cover all or at least the majority of the annual operating costs and debt payments, Taphorn said. As “a cushion,” the HRA plans to annually levy and set aside around $44,000 in tax dollars, the deputy di-

rector said. Property owners won't notice a new tax increase, however, because the HRA levy for the past couple of years has included funding for Piccadilly Square planning expenses. After 15 years, the HRA will become the sole owner of Piccadilly Square and will assume responsibility for its outstanding debt. Sand Companies is the developer of the complex but doesn't have an ownership stake. Mahtomedi City Administrator Scott Nielsen was the only speaker at the May 26 County Board public hearing. He said Piccadilly Square will help revive the downtown while providing a new affordable housing opportunity for seniors. “We see this project as being a major enhancement to our downtown that will create a lot more opportunities,” he said. “We believe

this is a great investment on the part of the county and the HRA.” County Board members unanimously supported the plans. “It's a win-win for everybody. I can't see anything but good things coming out of this,” said Commissioner Ted Bearth, who represents Mahtomedi and also serves on the HRA board. Taphorn said the planned project timeline is as follows: The bonds will be sold and the Mahtomedi City Council will approve minor updates to the site plan in July. Groundbreaking will likely be held in August, or possibly September. Construction then will take approximately a year to complete. The HRA will begin taking names of prospective residents after the groundbreaking. Call 651-458-0936 for more info.

1915 Several accidents have been narrowly averted of late by pedestrians, big and little, crossing the tracks at other points than the regular walks on various streets, especially Fourth Street. Many have the habit of “cutting across lots” through the yards especially from the south end of the depot to the walk on the west side of the track. This practice is particularly dangerous because at this point so many school children cross the tracks and it is utterly impossible for the flag man to watch so many at so wide a range…. 1940 Mr. Louis Hill, Jr., has purchased the farms adjoining the land which was owned by his father. He has had a crew of men working all winter, blasting tree roots and rocks and plans to build a home soon…White Bear Beach – The movies at the Beach Tavern are receiving popular attention and are well attended…. 1965 Shannon Lee Shawbold, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dean R.

Capping their high school FAB Lab experience by Kristine Goodrich Editor Fifteen Mahtomedi High School seniors last week showcased their ambitious engineering projects that were months in the making. The new “engineering capstone” course paired its pupils with mentors, provided them mostly unstructured time in the FAB Lab and gave them a long leash to undertake a yearlong project of their choosing. Not all of the students achieved the product they initially envisioned. Projects were changed or scaled back in response to setbacks and time and budgetary limitations. But even the failures proved valuable learning experiences, those students reported. Each student was guided by a volunteer mentor who works in or recently retired from an engineering or manufacturing field. Thirteen of the 15 pupils are planning to study engineering next year at college (the group also includes a future mathematician and a biochemist). Here is a synopsis of their projects: • Sean Noel designed a new parking lot and driver access point for Mahtomedi High School. He proposed a system of two roundabouts — one on Stillwater Road and a second into and out of the parking lot, with a short driveway in between. He redesigned the parking configuration to gain an additional 20 parking spaces. He also suggested an alternative repaving method called flexible pavement rehabilitation. • Luke Brown made a lighter protective casing for two pieces of airplane sensor equipment. Using computer aided design (CAD) he made a model very similar to the traditional casing, but with small holes added to reduce its density. He then printed his creation on a 3-D printer. The goal was to reduce the overall weight of aircraft. • Nicholas Furlong wanted to gain a better understanding of how vehicle engines operate. So he made a model engine using CAD. He 3-D-printed most of his model, with the exception of the timing chain, which couldn't be 3-D-printed, so he used a chain from a Lego kit. • Jacob Posner made a model 3-D-printable track system for snowmobiles. The idea is that a printable system could be less expensive to repair and replace, he said. The greatest challenge, he said, was getting the track and the drive wheel to sync perfectly. • Alex Weis constructed a winch system to tow skiers and boarders. It can pull snowboarders and snow skiers over jumps and water skiers and wake board-

He used an ATV engine and suspension and pieced together the rest of the vehicle from a variety of sources. Custom-making a frame was the greatest challenge, he said. • Leah Arnt and Kenji Cataldo designed and 3-D-printed prosthetic hands. Arnt's hand was designed so that the wearer can move his or her wrist to make the hand grasp an object. Cataldo's hand is motorized. He plans to continue work on his hand over the summer, including an attempt to program an electroencephalogram (EEG) headset to interact with the hand. In theory, the device can interpret brainwaves and allow a user to use his or her thoughts to make the hand perform a few commands, such as grasping. • Erick Schimnowski and Calvin Condo built themselves their own 3-D printers.

City Council candidates file Those candidates who have filed for White Bear Lake City Council seats include: Ward 1 — Bill Walsh and Dan Louismet. Incumbent Renee Tessier is not running for re-election. Walsh, a Bald Eagle Avenue resident, is director of public affairs for the state Senate. In his May 19 filing statement, Walsh said, "I love our city and plan to be an ambassador to attract business to keep our property taxes low." Louismet lives on Third Street and is an attorney. He also sits on the Park Advisory Commission. His filing statement, dated May 20, noted: "I am a lifelong resident of White Bear Lake. I do not have a platform or set list of issues I wish to advance. Rather, my goal is simply to draw on my experience in local government, deep roots in the community and a bit a common sense to help preserve and improve our great city." Ward 3 — Incumbent Dan Jones. Jones is a marketing manager who has served Ward 3 since 2008. His May 20 statement said: "As a resident of White Bear Lake for over 30 years, I would like to continue to represent the residents of Ward 3." He lives on Lakeaires Avenue. Ward 5 — Jim Berry. An independent insurance adjuster and resident of Elm Street, Berry is a member of the Planning Commission, the Charter Commission and Ramsey County Library Board of Trustees. He is also a past member of the Variance Board. No statement was provided. Incumbent Bryan Belisle is not seeking re-election. Filing opened May 19 and closed June 2 (after press time) for the council seats. Unless more people file by deadline, there is no need for a primary. If more than two candidates file for a seat, a primary election will be held Aug. 11. The general election is Nov. 3, 2015. — Debra Neutkens

lecting the best of the many components for his printer was the greatest hurdle, he said, as there were so many options. Some of the components he made himself, including the acrylic base he cut on the FAB Lab laser cutter. Condo also planned to design and built his printer from scratch. But after several setbacks, he opted to build one from a kit instead. He devoted significant research time to selecting the best available kit within his budget. • Garrett St. Germain built both a digital-to-analog converter and a sound amplifier. His converter successfully translated the digital music data files on his cell phone. His amplifier, which was built from a kit with some modification, required some last-minute troubleshooting and was operational just a few hours before showtime. • Shea Ryan designed an app in which athletes can answer questions and receive guidance on whether they have received a concussion, how severe it might

be and whether they should see a medical professional. A concussion she sustained while playing soccer inspired the idea. Her initial goal, which she found she didn't have sufficient time to accomplish, was to include an eye movement diagnostic test in the app. • Darius Fisseha made a thermoelectric phone charger. He studied the Peltier effect and made a rocket stove and a stepup circuit system to convert the heat to electricity. • Eli Honebrink and Duncan Charlesworth both designed model car bodies. Charlesworth's body is for a hybrid sports car; Honebrink's is for a race car. They aimed to balance speed and aesthetic appeal. They used CAD software to design their car bodies, printed models with a 3-D printer and ran aerodynamics tests in the FAB Lab wind tunnel simulator. Both of them made design tweaks and reprinted and tested their creations a few times.

An ‘awesome’ 2 days aboard a nuclear submarine by Larry Flaherty Special to the Press Many of us have had the opportunity to experience something that to us was breathtaking. Like seeing the Grand Canyon, for example; it’s magnificent. Relatively few of us, however, have had the privilege of spending time in a multi-million-dollar nuclear submarine that is a member of the finest fleet in the world: the U.S. Navy. I had that privilege and can describe it in one word: awesome. I spent over two days on the USS Hawaii, SSN-776, a Virginia class, fast attack, nuclear submarine assigned to the Pacific Fleet and leased out of Pearl Harbor. I could probably talk for hours about the experience. The angles and dangles. The crushed coffee cup from the underwater pressure. The silence. Although the excitement of the experience has not worn off, I began to realize there is a far greater experience and aura about this boat: The crew. All of a sudden I realized this was my stepson and over 100 additional young men (most in their late teens and 20s) that were the guardians of this boat and protecting our freedoms. These young men master this intricately built machine and guide it to depths that are probably classified. They make their own water, air and would stay beneath the ocean for long periods, only surfacing because they have not been able yet to grow food. Every member of the crew was at all times respectful with “yes sir” and “no sir” and always freshly dressed, even when not on duty. Military duty is not new to our family. Several of our combined 10 children have served. Thank God only one is on disability from service in Iraq. Two of my brothers and a brother-in-law served and saw actions during WWII;

Fire and water are the two most dangerous things to a sub. If there is a leak, it can sink. If there is a fire, there are no doors or windows to go out of. Another amazing fact is to take these young men from a wide range of religious and ethnic groups put them into an oblong tube and have, for the most part, harmony, respect and reliance on each other. Oh, there are disagreements and differences, but they are dealt with honesty, with facts and with an understanding that opinions vary but can be respected.

Grandma raised our Dad, Joseph James Lee to be the most wonderful and loving dad anyone could hope for. Dad was one in a billion as Grandma was. They were two of a kind. Grandma was raised in North Hudson, Wisconsin, one of 12 children and of Italian decent. She married Joseph I Lee in 1935 and had 5 children of her own, spending most of her long life in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. Grandma was a very religious person that loved her faith. God has you now Grandma, he will keep you safe in his grace of freedom. Love you, oh wonderful and beautiful Grandma. As our faces look towards heaven, we smile. May the angels hold you. Love, Audree Lee, Dan and Colleen Brinker, Joey Lee, Chis and Gerrie Lee, Matt and Rosa Lee, along with 17 Great Grand Children and 4 Great-Great Grand Children.

Congratulations! 35th Wedding Anniversary Richard & Carolyn Miske

Sports Zephs in 4AAA lacrosse title matchup MAHTOMEDI â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Just top-seeded East Ridge stands in the way between a return to the state tournament for the Mahtomedi boys lacrosse team. The second-seeded Zephyrs ousted No. 3 Stillwater 7-2 Saturday to gain a berth in Section 4AAA finals. East Ridge got past stubborn fourth-seeded Tartan 7-5 that same day. The Section 4 title was to be decided Tuesday, June 2 (after press time) at Roseville Area High. On Saturday, the Zephyrs hosted the Ponies for a rematch of the regular season in which the Zephyrs were victorious. The Ponies came out determined and bent on turning the tables. Stillwater displayed a rather stout defensive effort with a tight man-to-man coverage with early adjacent slides that kept the Zephyr offense out of sync. The Zephyrs managed to open a 3-1-lead by half time. Lucas Honebrink, Matt Schwartz and Brent Lecuyer tallied goals to establish the margin. In the second half, Stillwater continue to apply heavy pressure on defense. Tommy Engels added a goal midway through the third quarter that seemed to shift momentum in favor of the

Zephyrs. The Zephyrs began to settle down offensively and control time of possession. Josh Campbell scored a back door off a feed from Honebrink shortly before the end of the third quarter. The fourth quarter became a chess match. The Zephyrs controlled the time of possession decisively and forced several key turnovers that kept the ball out of the Stillwater sticks. Honebrink provided additional margin when he drove through a sliding Stillwater defender on an alley dodge from top left. Stillwater made things interesting with a goal of its own moments later, to make the score 6-2 in favor of the Zephyrs with just over 6 minutes remaining. Both teams traded unsuccessful possessions until about 3 minutes remained. Stillwater had just gained possession in its defensive zone and was about to cross midfield when Engels forced a turnover and goosed the loose ball to Campbell. Campbell wisely swept across the top of the box for a quick shot to score on the unsettled situation and put the game away 7-2. The Zephyrs held possession for the rest of the game and killed the clock to advance to sectional finals for the second con-

secutive year. "It was a much tougher game than our win against them during the season (a 13-3 Zeph victory)," offered Mahtomedi coach Pete Moosbrugger. "But we shut them down in the second half. Our guys played very well." The coach praised Honebrink for his outstanding play on faceoffs. "It seems like he wins every one," said Moosbuggger. "Lucas was Second Team All State for taking face-offs." He added that his offense usually revolves around Schwartz. "Lots of things go through Matt," he said. "He's either scoring or finding ways for others to contribute." Mahtomedi (11-4) stormed past seventh-seeded Hill-Murray 20-4 in section quarterfinals. The Zephyrs took control of the game from the outset. Schwartz set the tone by scoring a hat trick in the first 5 minutes. From that point on, there was no looking back as the Zephyrs closed out the first half 11-1. They held a time of possession advantage of longer than 20 minutes, largely accomplished by an extremely smothering and ag-

Attackman Conner Lawless led the team in scoring with four goals. However the offense was extremely balanced, as 11 different players tallied goals. One was long stick midfielder Devin Fitzpatrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal of the season. East Ridge blanked No. 8 North St. Paul in its quarterfinal matchup. The Raptors, Suburban East Conference runner-ups to White Bear Lake, brought a 13-2 overall

mark into the showdown with the Zephyrs. They've won seven of their last eight games. "East Ridge coach Aime Caines and I are good friends," he said. "They have a good goalie and their defense will be a challenge for us. We'll need to limit their opportunities (to be successful.â&#x20AC;? -Submitted by Jamie Engels.

Bears advance to section lacrosse finale Mahtomedi in Section 4AAA baseball finals by Mark Aguirre Contributing Writer Top-seeded White Bear Lake took up residence on the state tournament doorstep last week, and that's some prime real estate. The Bears shoved fifth-seeded Mounds View out of Section 5 Friday night, slapping the Mustangs with a 15-6 setback. Defending section champion White Bear improved to 14-1 in the process, and scheduled a date to throw down with third-seeded Osseo/Park Center in the section finale. The Section 5 title game is set for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Park Center Stadium. Osseo/Park Center earned a berth in the

section finale by beating sixth-seeded Roseville and second seeded Robbinsdale Armstrong. It's 10-5 overall. The Bears began section play by shellacking eighth-seeded Irondale 23-1. Connor Dehnert commanded the offense with a game-high six goals. Charles Bill finished with three goals, and Hunter Peters a trio of goals and an assist. Mike Boudreau and Ethan Peterson had two goals each, and Jace Goudreau a goal and four assists. Wll Ramert and Cody Squillace shared the time in the White Bear nets, with Ramert saving six shots in 30 minutes, and Squillace one in 12 minutes. Irondale finished with a 1-12 overall mark.

A trio of victories over Suburban East Conference teams elevated the Mahtomedi baseball team to the catbird seat in the Section 4AAA tournament. Coach John Hardgrove's crew slipped past sixthseeded East Ridge 5-3 Saturday at CHS Field in St. Paul in winners' bracket finals. It was set to square off against either Cretin-Derham Hall or

East Ridge in section finals Tuesday, May 2 (after press time) at CHS Field. Either the Raiders or Raptors will need to beat the Zephyrs twice in a row. If a second game is needed, it's scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at CHS. Top-seeded and defending section champion Mahtomedi blanked Roseville 9-0 in the opening round of 4AAA before edging fourth-seeded

Woodbury 4-3 eight innings to advance to winners' bracket finals against East Ridge. Sean Hjelle pitched seven strong innings against Woodbury, fanning seven while walking two, and Trevor Moses was the hero at the plate with a game-winning two-run double in the bottom of the eighth. -Mark Aguirre

Weather Discussion Unless you planted fresh sod or are trying to grow grass from seed, chances are you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to do any watering. Rainfall this past May was timely and very plentiful. I totaled a very healthy 6.18 inches, 2.50 inches wetter than normal. We clearly beat the Twin City Airport, which totaled a measly 3.55 inches, which is right near average. My two biggest rainfalls were 1.41 inches and 1.01 inches on May 26 and 29. Temperatures averaged on the cool side for May with only four days reaching 80Â° and with eight days with highs in the 50â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entering the wettest period of the year, and of course the forecast calls for passing showers and thunderstorms. Speaking of thunderstorms weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re off to a quiet start. Hmmm

doubles. In section play the team had a strong first playoff May 15, logging a 6-1 victory against Central, then suffered a disappointing 3-4 loss May 18 in section semifinals against Stillwater. Meger brought in a win at first singles, Wick at second singles and Smyth and Anderson at first doubles. Ultimately, the No. 4 seed Ponies avenged a 5-2 loss to the Zephyrs in the regular season, ending Mahtomedi's seven-year run in quali-

fying for the state tournament as a team. In the individual section tournament May 21, Meger and Wick both had successful days. Wick won two rounds before succumbing to the No. 1 seed, and Meger made it to semifinals. Smyth and Anderson qualified for semis in doubles, while Gabe Seaver and Hank Hoaglund suffered a first-round defeat to a team from Roseville. - Submitted by Karen Wick

Business Briefs

rick said. "We have to find a way to keep it open longer in the season." McGoldrick, who lives in Stillwater, said the restaurant business is very time consuming. "Someone needs to be there full time. I have other projects domestic and international, so thought it time Mike takes over. You have to wear 15 different hats to run a business like this, and they don't teach that at St. Thomas."

Mike McGoldrick is managing Admiral Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant and marina this summer.

New McGoldrick at restaurant helm Admiral D's owner Brian McGoldrick has passed the restaurant's reins to son Mike. The younger McGoldrick (a Mahtomedi High School grad) just graduated from St. Thomas University in chemistry and biology and hopes to someday go to graduate school. Meanwhile, his dad suggested he learn some business acumen. "He's worked at the marina and restaurant since he was 14," Brian said, "so he knows the ropes." With the new management come changes for the lakeside establishment. Brunch is now being offered on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. with bottomless mojitos and bloody mary's starting at 10 a.m. for $10. There is also bingo on Wednesday nights, trivia contests on Thursdays, and live music Friday, and Saturday evenings. Two Cities 97 "Oake on the Water" events are planned June 4 and 25 and a craft beer festival is June 27 as part of Manitou Days at Lions Park. Other changes may be in Admiral D's future as well, due to the low lake level in Commercial Bay. Renting boat slips has been a struggle, said the elder McGoldrick. "Half the slips don't have enough water to float a boat. We will look at it again in mid-June and may do specials on dock fees. We used to have 20 slips to pull up to the restaurant; now boaters can't get close. We have a foot of water where we used to have 7 feet." Admiral D's owner said he never thought the restaurant would be the primary revenue generator at the location. "I always thought it would be a benefit of the marina," McGold-

wines at various price points, Cindy said. They want to beef up the craft beers, as well. A jazz band will accompany their first wine and beer tasting event, 4 to 7 p.m. June 20.

Major renovations for sports bar Lakeside Club fans take note: When the historic Mahtomedi restaurant is torn down sometime by end of summer, its special equipment and nickel-plated grill will be moved to the the Village Sports Bar at the Stadium, 3600 Hoffman Road. Manager Mike Mahmood said a dining area will be sectioned off with a separate entrance and called the Lakeside Steakhouse. Other major changes are in the works as well for the sports bar recently purchased by Catherine and Terry Montpetit. New patio seating for up to 180 people overlooks the refurbished ball field. There is a large outdoor bar with big screen TVs to watch sporting events and three bocce courts are under construction for patrons to play for free. The game room in the lower level has been renovated for birthday parties, class reunions and other private party needs and the menu has been changed. Volleyball and softball leagues are starting soon; go to www.villageinnstadium.com to sign up.

Makeover for liquor store The new owners of Ciresi's Liquor don't have the exterior signs changed yet; that will come. For now, Cindy and Guy Fix are concentrating on the interior of the 128-year-old building. "We're remodeling the space back to a lot of its original character," said store manager, Carrie Fricke. "We've exposed the tin ceiling and original windows; plus we're putting in new flooring and racking." Once a hardware store, the Mercantile Grocery & Meat Company owned by George Farnen and Ted Schweitzer occupied the building on the corner of Third Street and Clark Avenue before Anne L. Ciresi opened a liquor store in 1952. The White Bear Press was on the second floor. The new business owners, who live in Hugo, renamed the store Cotroneo's Vino & Birra Centrale after Cindy, whose maiden name is Cotroneo. "The place needed a makeover," Cindy said. "Nothing was changed in 40 years. We exposed the ceiling and we're getting back to the guts of the building to expose the brick walls. There is a beautiful stained glass window that was boarded up that we plan to expose. We want the store to be quaint and cozy like downtown." The new owners plan to hold wine and beer tasting on a more frequent basis and eventually add a cheese shop. Fricke has extensive background in wine and she is bringing in

Graduates of training program Trane's White Bear Lake facility graduated its first class of students May 21 in a new 16-week training program. The company is offering an immersion program in which students learn the fundamentals of topics ranging from building automation systems, controls and energy services to the business acumen and sales skills necessary to help managers realize the value of an optimized, energy-efficient building. The program solves a problem for Trane that many industries are facing, said spokesperson Kristopher Jensen: rapidly evolving technology for which there is a shortage of qualified workers. "Trane is taking matters into its own hands by preparing the workforce of tomorrow," he said. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Debra Neutkens

WHITE BEAR/VADNAIS HEIGHTS PRESS

End to ambulance agreement hits city's pocketbook

3.49%

by Debra Neutkens Regional Editor WHITE BEAR LAKE — There will be a six-figure financial hit when the city's northern neighbor ends its emergency medical services agreement. In a memo to City Council May 26, White Bear Lake Fire Chief Tim Vadnais said the city's net revenue loss will be approximately $106,000 when Hugo pulls out. Since 2008, White Bear has had a fully equipped Advanced Life Support ambulance in Hugo's fire station. The Hugo Fire Department staffed the ambulance 5 p.m. to 5 a.m. weekdays and all day weekends. White Bear Lake covered Hugo 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. and sent paramedics when requested. Hugo was always the first responder to calls. Hugo gave notice it was terminating its long-time agreement for ambulance service in a letter dated April 30. "The arrangement has served our citizens well over the past seven years," wrote Hugo City Administrator Bryan Bear, "and we recognize that we have enjoyed good ambulance service from the city for a lot longer than that." Call volumes are increasing significantly in Hugo, Bear said. To accommodate this under the existing model, the city needs to change its staffing structure and organization and is going to North Memorial Ambulance Service for both Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) coverage as of Aug. 1. Chief Vadnais attended a workshop in March to discuss the options and said after that meeting, it was evident the Hugo Fire Department no longer wanted to first respond to medicals. The Hugo Fire Chief anticipated eliminating his ambulance response teams and estimated the department would be called out to assist North Memorial about eight times per year. I was asked by the Hugo mayor what it would take for White Bear Lake to provide a dedicated ambulance and crew for Hugo response 24/7. I responded by stating it would not be fiscally possible unless we increased our rates to equal the rate that private ambulance services charge, which is about twice the amoun t we charge our patients." City Manager Mark Sather provided council with some comparison figures.

The city of Hugo has given notice that it will be ending its seven-year agreement with White Bear Lake for ambulance service. It means a revenue loss for the city. Assuming a 20-mile run and current rates for both White Bear Lake and North Memorial ambulance service, the cost for BLS is $1,135 and for ALS, $1,380 in White Bear Lake. North Memorial charges $2,534 and $2,600 for similar service, respectively. "The cost of service to Hugo will be about $500,000 more based on 2014 call volume and a 20-mile run, which is a substantial increase," Sather said, "that we find perplexing. But that's their call." The loss to White Bear will likely be offset as the city's demographics change, Sather said. The number of runs will likely increase. Another option is the city may be forced to look at a rate hike. White Bear Township resident Jeremy Coudron asked the council to "take a vested interest in what is happening," with Hugo's termination. "This is unprecedented and hard questions should be asked as to why?" he said. Mayor Jo Emerson replied that she talked to the Hugo mayor. "They don't want to be first responders," she said. "They cannot recruit and retain and that was their primary reason for withdrawing." Hugo Fire Chief Kevin Colvard said his city was not unhappy with White Bear Service. "It has more to do with the future needs of Hugo. We are at 600-plus calls for a paid on-call department. It's very taxing on our people. We need a step up from what we're doing and we believe North can provide that." Cost was not a factor, he added. "Paramount to us is the reliability of ALS service and response time. They are full-time ambulance service, they are closer and they are already in the truck when they get the call." Other than the loss of revenue, staff assures that

White Bear Lake City Council Notes The White Bear Lake City Council conducted the following business at its May 26 meeting: • The final say will be up to the proprietor but city code has been amended to allow leashed dogs on outdoor patios at food and beverage establishments. There was little discussion. A permit is required and a sign(s) must be posted stating canines are OK. • Approved an agreement between the city and MnDOT for improvements on Highway 96 and the I-35E bridge. The bridge deck will be replaced and left-turn lanes added for north and southbound ramps, decorative metal safety railings will be installed and a new 8-foot-wide trail constructed on the south side of the bridge. The project will be completed in 2016. The estimated cost to the city for

get to know Dr. Jamie Kalafatich I am a: family medicine doctor. I am passionate about: my family, faith and health. I believe that having faith, being loved by family and staying healthy are very important. I became a doctor because: I have always enjoyed helping others, even as a little girl. I am interested in science and in medicine, so what a great way to practice both. If I wasn’t a doctor, I would be a: veterinarian. My love for animals and the outdoors have always pulled at my heart. Something I have learned from my patients: is that each has a different story and history to tell. I like to spend time to really get to know all my patients individually. My personal health goal is: to spend more time with my family exploring the outdoors. 134276 0415 ©2015 Allina Health System.
