In addition to being an honor roll student, he has been active in sports such as basketball and as a High School Ambassador. Chris Campbell of the South Campus Language Arts Department said the following about Isaac: “He’s a self motivated learner, who doesn’t need any hand-holding. Give him the basic tenets of an assignment and he off to the races. I know Isaac is into sports, basketball especially. As teamwork is important on the court, the same can be said about academics. If given a group task, Isaac isn’t one to sit back and let others work around him.” Congratulations to our three award recipients!! There will be a formal award ceremony at White Bear High School on May 15. City News Page There are Rules About Where Your Snow Can Get Dumped It is not permissible in Minnesota to plow your snow onto your neighbor’s side of the street or into the roadway or ditches in general. This has been the subject of several recent calls to Heritage Hall. Due to the heavy snowfall totals this year, there have been complaints of what we will call “unfair snow rearrangement.” Intentionally plowing or blowing snow onto a public road way which results in any dangerous condition is a violation of Minnesota Statute #169.42 and Gem Lake Ordinance 86. City Looking to Hire Temporary Help for Summer Gem Lake will be working to digitize its records and files this summer to take care of a growing problem with space. The City is seeking to hire a person to do this work throughout the summer, using equipment and software that has been purchased for the job. It is projected that the job could last three to four months, but could end sooner, depending on work progress. It is envisioned as a full time temporary job and would involve hours that mirror when Heritage hall is open. The pay would be $13 per hour. We would like to hire someone immediately. Interested parties should contact Gloria Tessier at 651-747-2792. Sewer Billing Did you know that your quarterly sewer bill can be emailed rather than sent to you via the US Postal Service?
