Shoreview Press

Before we say goodbye to 2022 and hello to 2023, it is a tradition of the Shoreview Press to look back at some of the most memorable stories of the year.

In 2022, pages were filled with a variety of news, including stories about crimes, events, schools, churches, sports, businesses, city government and more. Perhaps some of

the most memorable stories are the ones that feature local residents — for example, when Mayor Sandy Martin announced her retirement; when Council Member Terry Quigley passed away in January; or when Veteran John Abbott shared his story about the Vietnam War.

Former council member receives Citizen of the Year award

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Bob Weyandt, age 81, has been giving back to Shoreview for almost 50 years.

He is the recipient of the 2022 Shoreview Citizen of the Year award. “I don’t think I’ve done anything that impressive,” Weyandt said. “I’ve just been here all of these years and at times I got some beautiful opportunities.”

Elected to the City Council in 1973, on which he served until 1989, Weyandt was involved with many significant decisions and initiatives. These included the purchase of the land that became Shoreview

Commons and shepherding major housing and population growth.

Weyandt said his proudest moment on the City Council was when he helped spearhead a group home in Shoreview called Residents Inc.

“Right after I joined the City Council, we passed a law for the construction of a facility for severely developmentally disabled people in a residential neighborhood,” he said.

“That caused a lot of attention.”

Besides serving on the City Council, Weyandt has also volunteered several different organizations, including:

• Shoreview Jaycees: Regional vice president and director of

Mayor Martin attends last council meeting

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Former City Manager Terry Schwerm drove nearly 50 miles to attend Mayor Sandy Martin’s last City Council meeting as the Mayor of Shoreview.

“I was so touched when Terry Schwerm drove 50 miles (in the snowstorm) to be there for my last meeting — he was there for my first,” Martin said. “Twenty-six years was a long time to sit in this chair but it feels like 26 minutes.”

City Manager Brad Martens gave Martin a statement from Congresswoman Betty McCollum who

honored Martin on the floor of the House of Representatives in November. In addition, he also gave Martin a flag that was flown over the United States Capitol in honor of Martin’s exceptional leadership and service as mayor of the city of Shoreview.

Martin also received a plaque in honor of the “Sandy Martin Legacy Gardens” which will be in the Shoreview Commons pond and garden area.

“I’m probably the luckiest woman in the world because I’ve had this wonderful job that I love,” Martin said. “The reason I loved it is pretty clear because I got to work with this

incredible staff and good people who have become my friends for life.”

Martin, who is the city’s longest-serving and first female mayor, has a lengthy record of service including:

• Mayor, 1997 – 2022

• Council member, 1989 – 1993

• Planning Commission member, 1975 – 1988

• Ramsey County League of Local Government Board

• Regional Council of Mayors, board member and co-chair

• Municipal Legislative Commi•

Northeast Youth and Family Services, board member and chair

• Shoreview Community Foundation, founding member and board member

• St. Paul Urban Tennis Program, founding member and board member

Since she announced her retirement, Martin said she has received an outpouring of support and appreciation from the community and people she doesn’t even know.

“I’m very pleased that we have this wonderful council and a wonderful new mayor who’s going to guide the city,” she said. “Shoreview will continue to move forward.”

At the end of the Dec. 19 City Council meeting, the council was reluctant to adjourn knowing it was Martin’s last council meeting. She made her final statement as mayor.

“I’ll miss you all,” she said. “I will say how proud I am of what we’ve done together. We have done amazing things. In all of these discussions I haven’t really outlined all the things that I’m proudest of — there are many. But what really makes me proud is the way we’ve done things and how we’ve done it. We worked as a team, we worked together and we always kept our community at the top. That’s the way Shoreview does things. It’s trite to say it’s been an honor and a privilege, but you know what, it’s been an honor and a privilege. Thank you.”

Other council action

• The public hearing will continue on a text amendment to allow the sale of edible

cannabinoid products in the Retail Service District (C1) and the General Commercial District (C2) at the Jan. 17 City Council meeting.

• The council approved the updated parks & recreation system plan.

• The council appointed

student representative Brandon Luna Sanchez to the Environmental Quality Committee.

Minnesota launches new COVID-19 telehealth treatment pilot program

The state of Minnesota launched a new telehealth test-to-treat program to ensure Minnesotans who have tested positive for COVID-19 have easy access to clinician care and therapeutic treatments that reduce their risk of serious illness or hospitalization.

Minnesotans who test positive for COVID-19, either with a home test or a positive test from a lab, can download the Cue Health app and sign up with their Minnesota address to have a virtual consultation with a licensed clinician who will evaluate them to determine if therapeutic treatment is a good option. If they are a good candidate for therapeutics, the clinician can issue that prescription to the patient’s local pharmacy. In some areas of the state, those prescription medications can

be delivered to the person’s home. All services, including the consultation, medication and delivery, will come at no cost to the Minnesotans who use this service. This pilot program is available to all Minnesota residents.

“This pilot program is another tool in Minnesota’s toolbox for limiting the negative impacts of COVID-19,” said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm. “Minnesotans who test positive will be able to more easily access therapeutics that can help them get on the road to recovery. We know that accessing therapeutics within five days of developing symptoms of COVID-19 can greatly improve outcomes and help Minnesotans to avoid severe illness or hospitalization. We are continuing to find new

and innovative ways to reduce barriers to access for those therapeutics.”

For more information on how to access the program and for instructions on downloading and getting started with the Cue Health App, visit care.cuehealth. com/mn.

This pilot program works with any at-home or lab COVID-19 test regardless of brand. For more information on where to access at-home tests, visit https:// mn.gov/covid19/get-tested/athome/index.jsp or check with your insurance company about ways to get free rapid tests from pharmacies. Tests should be PCR or antigen tests and not antibody blood test results.

Department of Health

• Contact your health care provider or a local pharmacy.

• Use the state’s website (https://mn.gov/covid19/ vaccine/find-vaccine/ locations/index.jsp) to find vaccine providers near you— providers will update their information as appointments are available.

• Check for vaccine appointments at Vaccines. gov, where you can search for appointments by vaccine type (e.g., Pfizer).

• Watch for vaccination clinics being offered at other community locations around Minnesota.

How Minnesotans can get a COVID-19 test

• Walk in or schedule an appointment for a test at one of the state’s free community testing sites (https://mn.gov/ covid19/get-tested/testinglocations/communitytesting.jsp). Test-to-treat options are available at some locations.

• Order rapid tests through the state’s free COVID-19 athome rapid testing program (https://mn.gov/covid19/gettested/at-home/index.jsp).

• Check with your insurance company about ways to get free rapid tests from pharmacies.

• Find a testing option near you through the state’s find testing locations map (https://mn.gov/covid19/ get-tested/testing-locations/ index.jsp.

Reflecting on 2022

2023 HAS ARRIVED! Happy New Year to everyone. Let’s take a look at the past year. A lot has happened.

Politics seems more divided than ever and it is far from a peaceful time in the world. Covid spread around the world and changed things, from our shopping habits to schools online, and created a debate over vaccines and boosters. Every medicine cabinet now carries a test kit.

Travel finally seems to be coming back. Dining out is too, but many restaurants have closed. Many community events were still canceled and attendance has dropped at major athletic and entertainment events.

Grocery stores geared up for curbside pickup and delivery services. Independent delivery companies sprang up, in some cases with same day service. Customers have gotten used to these services.

A “Triple-demic” of Covid, influenza, and RSV has caused hospitals to once again reach capacity.

People are still wearing masks to prevent the spread of all kinds of germs, in the workplace and while out shopping. Masks are still required in most medical facilities.

Working from home got a big start over the past couple of years and is continuing, for the most part in a successful way. Some companies now require an employee to come in one or two days a week at minimum.

On the economic side the stock market has declined, interest rates on savings are very low, and inflation at 7 and 8 percent for the last several years is hitting almost everyone’s budgets for food, fuel, car buying, rents and mortgages, to name just a few areas.

When it comes to automobiles and trucks, new features are providing more safety. For example, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warnings, lane-keeping assist, rear and front alerts, blind spot monitoring, plus more. It takes a study of the instruction manual to learn how to use them. Smart watches allow those who are skiing and have a downhill crash to get assistance by calling 911 on their cell phone. On the other hand, cell phones cause accidents because of people trying to multitask. We are seeing more artificial intelligence in health care. It makes it easier for people to understand their symptoms and be active about preventative care and find the best self-care options.

Internet technology is advancing and the Covid effect for churches turned many people onto online services rather than being in a crowd of people. Forty percent of churches are expected to close this coming year. Megachurches are growing.

Regarding energy, fusion is coming to a reality, but it will take years before we can bring it to practical levels for heating our homes and fueling our cars.

It’s been quite a year and we continue to struggle to live at peace with each other. We have also seen our educational scores decline, the government debt load increase and there have been issues at the border where thousands are trying to enter the United States for a better way of life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I was driving to a friend’s house to watch the game between the Vikings and Indianapolis Colts. When I got into my car, the score was 0-3. Before I knew it, the score was 0-33 before halftime.

I was listening to Paul Allen on KFAN and couldn’t believe how the Vikings could have gotten themselves into such a pickle. How embarrassing. When I finally got to my friends house, people were telling me how bad it was. Being true Vikings fans, we continued to watch the game and endure the suffering that we’ve been used to all of these years. However, the impossible happened.

eing a Minnesota Vikings fan is not easy sometimes. After witnessing many heartbreaks in past games, nothing could have prepared me for the biggest comeback in NFL history.Peterson told him at halftime that the defense would stop the Colts and all he needed to do was get five touchdowns. Easy, peasy right? Not that easy, but not impossible for Kirk and his offensive weapons — Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook and K.J. Osborn.

I f you watched the game, you know what I am talking about. Winning that game in overtime was amazing. The Vikings aren’t a perfect team, in fact there is no perfect team in the NFL. Parity, turnovers and penalties can change the game immensely. Mental toughness is key for players and play calling is essential.

W hen I watched ESPN the next morning, I was surprised that the top story was not the biggest comeback in NFL history but the Buffalo Bills coming back to beat the Miami Dolphins. What the heck! If this would have been Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, or Aaron Rodgers pulling off the biggest comeback ever, it would have been the top story in sports media and they would be praised. Cousins doesn’t get the credit he deserves from the national sports media. Some sportscasters call him and the Vikings a “fraud.” I recall

Kansas City coming back from a lot of games the year they won the Superbowl. In fact, they were down by quite a bit at the Superbowl and came back to win the game. It’s very frustrating.

T here is something special about the team this year. I’m not saying they are going to win the Superbowl but they are special. They have a great locker room and play as a team. Watching Cook being interviewed by KFAN’s Ben Leiber after the game says it all. Cook thanked the fans for sticking around and gave credit to all of his teammates for the comeback win. Leiber was so excited as well. It’s just so great to watch this team this season.

Even if you’re not a football fan, you can take a lesson from this game. Never give up no matter what obstacles are in your way. All you can do is try and you might be surprised by the outcome. For better or worse, I will always be a Vikings fan through the good, the bad and the ugly.

Noelle’s Notes Noelle Olson

Leaving Twitter

In his letter in the Dec. 20, 2022, edition of the Shoreview Press, Steve Peterson writes to tell us as to why he left Twitter. These four paragraphs are the perfect example of what is wrong in our culture today.

His listed reasons are several. Musk has some agenda to expand his personal views. Twitter is a money-making private business? Twitter has too much control? Lack of trust in Musk’s leadership? What has changed? Nothing is different. Twitter has always been a corporation. It has always been in business to make money. Just because it had “investors” doesn’t mean anything. My IRA has investments. They don’t call me to ask my opinion on anything. And Twitter has played a significant role in how and what information is shared. Over the past several years, numerous people and organizations have been canceled on Twitter and other social media platforms for espousing ideas that have been deemed unworthy. Many of these have been positions held by civilized society for several thousand years. Isn’t the whole point of social media to exchange ideas? Or is it to just get your own ideas reinforced? Evidence comes out weekly, from Twitter itself, on how Twitter has controlled speech and opinions on the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 election, Hunter Biden laptop story, and more. Numerous people holding strong religious beliefs have been censored for stating beliefs that have been consistently espoused for a long time.

I suspect that the issues for Mr. Peterson are not as he stated, but simply that he does not agree with dissenting opinions and dialogue that should not be allowed to exist. So, as is typical in today’s culture, rather than engage in opportunities to share ideas, he demonizes and cancels those who differ with him. What happened to diversity? Just because you don’t agree with someone else doesn’t mean they don’t get to have opinions, too.

George Orwell’s “1984” was never intended to be a handbook for a better society.

Weyandt said he loves living in Shoreview.

“The community, the lakes, the parks and the convenience to the cities makes Shoreview a great place to live.”

When asked if he has any advice for someone looking to start volunteering, Weyandt said that he was inspired early on by John F. Kennedy, when he said, “Ask not what

your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.”

“I believe that we all belong to this community, and that participation, not volunteering, is absolutely necessary. If

we don’t participate, we fail,” Weyandt said.

COPS&COURTS

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF DEPUTIES

Whether it’s turkeys, smashed squad cars or criminals pushing them around, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies rarely have a dull day, as chronicled from 2022 incident reports.

• Skating deer. An exhausted deer was reported ice skating Jan. 10 around a rink in Bobby Theisen Park in the 3500 block of Vivian Lane, performing all sorts of desperate spinning and jumping tricks on four hoofs. The rink attendant arrived at the scene to help the deer skate off the rink and into the woods toward freedom.

• Not for skating. A resident in the 100 block of Colleen Avenue on Jan. 27 reported criminal damage to her property after the outdoor water spigot was turned on when she was away from home. The yard was definitely flooded, and there may be water damage to the basement of her home.

• Collateral damage, part 1. Deputies on patrol in the 1500 block of Hall Street during the mid-morning of Feb. 20 reported a motorist, 65, for backing into their squad. No damage occurred to either vehicle, and no citations or warnings were handed out.

• Turkey files, part 1. An injured turkey reported Feb. 24 in the 800 block of Dawn Avenue was captured and transported to the University of Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center after it gobbled and tried to fly away when grabbed.

• Getting pushed around. A Vadnais Heights man, 42, was arrested on multiple warrants at 6:22 a.m. March 15 in the 1000 block of Gramsie Road following a report of two suspicious males with a crowbar. After

BECAUSE IT WAS THERE?

Sometimes we know why thieves steal certain objects, as mentioned in Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies incident reports, and sometimes we have no idea why they would steal, for example, a Tupperware container. All we are left with is to surmise that the thieves thought they really needed that item badly just then.

• The BP gas station in the 5900 block of Hodgson Road reported a forced entry burglary overnight Jan. 15-16, during which more than $1,000 of cigarettes was stolen.

• More than $3,600 worth of fishing gear was reported stolen overnight Jan. 16-17 from a pickup truck parked in a driveway in the 1100 block of Woodcrest Avenue, after the rear driver’s side window was smashed in.

• A license plate was

the males split up, deputies located their vehicle and arrested the warrant suspect, who had fled on foot after pushing deputies.

• The art of distraction. A St. Paul man, 36, has been charged March 22 with falsely redeeming the five lottery tickets he stole at a Kath Gas Plus station in the 3400 block of Rice Street, after he was identified via crime alert. His unique tattoos matched those seen on surveillance footage of the theft. He had distracted the lone clerk at a Lino Lakes gas station by throwing a jug of milk on the floor and stealing the tickets while the clerk was mopping up.

• Turkey files, part 2. A turkey was reported April 8 for standing in the median of Highway 96 near Hodgson Road for seven hours, although it was not reported whether the turkey was a male in full fan tail display that entire time. When deputies arrived on scene, they did not locate what they described as the “confused on how to cross the road” turkey, and neither did the animal control officer called out to the scene. Deputies speculated that perhaps “a wise chicken may have provided assistance.”

• The Attack Robin. Deputies on May 4 were summoned out to the scene of an “attack robin” going after a front door in the 3200 block of Owasso Heights Road every day for the past several months. Deputies advised the caller that nests have been built in the evergreens near the garage, and that the male bird was becoming aggressively territorial with his reflection in the storm door.

• Threatening treats. A

resident in the 600 block of Schifsky Road on April 18 reported a package of treats and an unsettling note left at the door. The report did not disclose whether the treats were Peeps or any other kind of candy the Easter Bunny might leave.

• Collateral damage, part 2. Deputies on routine patrol reported their squad car damaged April 23 at Shamrock Park in the 5600 block of Snelling Avenue N. by a motorist backing out of his parking space at the park. No injuries were sustained by either driver, and the squad car received scratches on the right rear quarter panel. Roseville police compiled the accident report.

• Getting blamed for everything. A Shoreview man, 36, reported being stabbed at 7:59 p.m. May 28 by a Shoreview female, 23, in the 3400 block of Kent Street, in what deputies described as only one of multiple calls of assault from this address. Although the male was bleeding from his forearm when deputies arrived on scene, both he and the female were uncooperative, declined medical attention and claimed Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies were harassing them.

• Watch out for those blind dates. A Shoreview man reported his vehicle stolen at 5:38 a.m. June 15 from the 1000 block of Gramsie Road after he had met a female online. When he woke up in the morning, he discovered his car keys missing and the vehicle not at its spot in the underground parking area. After the vehicle was entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database, it was recovered by the Brooklyn Park Police Department the

next day and towed to the impound lot for processing.

• Never mind, deputies; I got this. The owner of a stolen vehicle reported finding it at 11:57 p.m. June 15 in St. Paul and driving it back home to the 100 block of Grass Lake Place. The vehicle was properly recovered via data entry in the NCIC.

• Find the brown house. Deputies responded to a complaint of a cat at large on the complainant’s property in the 5900 block of Lexington Avenue N. June 29, as part of an ongoing issue. The address of the cat was not given, but deputies were given an important clue — that the cat lived next door to a brown house on the complainant’s street.

• Heavy price for not being vigilant. A resident in the 5900 block of Fernwood Street at 5:47 a.m. Feb. 7 reported being assaulted and robbed by a female, known only by her first name, after he invited her to his place at 2:00 a.m. Since he had been drinking, he fell asleep and woke up at at 5:30 a.m. only to notice that he had abrasions and lacerations to his face. The woman was gone, and so were his iPad, Roomba, radio, sound bar, wallet with credit cards and phone. Oh, and the keys to his car and the car itself were also missing, presumably with all of the above listed items in it.

• Setting up a subterfuge. Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies at 5:14 a.m. April 2 reported receiving a suspicious phone call from a party living in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue N. stating that her vehicle had been stolen the day before. The female was also at the same address that 911-only phones were pinging to, while calling in her vehicle as a suspect vehicle in catalytic converter thefts. In other words, deputies wondered if she herself was involved in thefts using her vehicle and later calling in to say that it had been stolen and that the catalytic converter thefts were committed by “the thieves” who “stole” her vehicle.

• Take out your troubles on others. A Cannon Falls man, 34, was mailed a citation April 3 for assaulting a gas station attendant in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue N. after Minnesota State Patrol officers dropped him off at that station when he ran out of gas on the freeway. Officers even lent him a gas can and complimentary gas amounting to $7. But these actions did not make him grateful. Instead, he entered the business and started accusing staff of stealing from his belongings. When he was asked to leave, he confronted an employee, who he pushed down into a display. State Patrol officers provided deputies with information on the suspect for citation mailing purposes.

• They know me, but they cannot catch me. The catalytic converter of a Honda CR-V was reported stolen at 8:13 a.m. April 6, minutes after it was parked in a driveway in the 4000 block of Evergreen Place. The suspects were seen driving away in a tan 2003 Pontiac van with Montana plates. The case has been linked to other

middle-of-the-work day catalytic converter thefts in Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township due to the appearance of the same tan van in those incidents.

• Counterfeit tabs. A St. Paul woman, 38, was cited April 8 in the area of Lexington Avenue N. and I-694 for gross misdemeanor tax evasion following a traffic stop for displaying the valid registration sticker of a different vehicle because her own registration had expired in October 2020. The phony sticker was attached to her vehicle’s license plate with packing tape. The case has been forwarded to the city attorney for consideration of charges.

• Not quick enough to cut, but quick enough to escape. A White Bear Lake woman reported an attempt on her catalytic converter’s life April 8 while she was visiting a friend in the 600 block of Tanglewood Drive. When they heard a loud noise outside, the complainant and her friend looked out the window to see another vehicle parked in the driveway. The vehicle fled after the thieves paused and saw the curtains twitch. The complainant ran outside and found the catalytic converter cut on one end and left dangling.

• Picking on little kids. A Shoreview man, 54, was arrested June 10 in the area of Fernwood Street and Ravenwood Street for obstruction of the legal process and for disorderly conduct after deputies were dispatched to the scene of an intoxicated male yelling and cursing at kids selling lemonade.

• Be unreasonable when you don’t get your way. Management at a restaurant in the 1000 block of Red Fox Road on July 10 reported a Door Dash driver for disorderly conduct after the driver became upset that the restaurant didn’t furnish bags and then pushed the cash register

off the counter. He also threw disposable cups and tinfoil packaging onto the floor, such that $200 worth of items had to be thrown away. The manager just wanted the incident reported.

• E-bike hit and argue. A Blaine man reported being involved in a hit-and-run accident July 10 in the 5800 block of Rice Creek Parkway, after an electric bicycle struck his car. After arguing with the complainant, the biker rode away.

• This time, you’re going to jail first. An Andover man, 28, was arrested for assault July 20 in the 1300 block of Willow Creek Lane after deputies were called in to assist emergency services personnel in removing an unwanted person from a residence. When EMS personnel were trying to transport the subject to the hospital for mental health treatment, he spat on them twice while in the ambulance. In a reversal from the normal destination exchange, the subject was removed from the ambulance and transported to jail instead.

• There was no card to ‘not go through’. The BP station in the 400 block of Highway 96 reported an unknown female for driving off without paying her $37 fuel tab at 6:38 a.m. Oct. 11. At gas stations, credit cards occasionally don’t “go through,” and the customer doesn’t realize it. However, in this case, the suspect left in such haste that she almost hit an employee when driving away. The case is under investigation.

Council Member Terry Quigley passes away

With heavy hearts, the city of Shoreview shared that Council Member Terry Quigley died Thursday, Jan. 13. Quigley was a critical part of Shoreview’s leadership for the last 21 years and will be remembered for his dedication, grace, authenticity and humor. “I am deeply saddened by the loss of my friend and colleague,” Mayor Sandy Martin said. “His presence on the City Council will be missed, but his legacy of service and impact on Shoreview will be remembered for years to come.” Quigley served the city for almost 50 years, starting on the Planning Commission in 1973 and moving on to various roles before being appointed to the council in 2001.

Shoreview teen named candidate in US Presidential Scholars Program

Shoreview Snow Queen candidate aspires to the carnival crown

Sunny Chen is one of 20 candidates hoping to be crowned Snow Queen or one of the four Wind Princesses on Jan. 28 in this year’s St. Paul Winter Carnival. “It was a childhood dream of mine to participate in the Winter Carnival,” Chen said. As a teenager, Chen participated in the New Brighton Stockyard Days. Last year, she was involved with the Rice Street Royalty festivities. Participating in both these events encouraged her to apply for the Winter Carnival in 2022. Candidates are judged based on interpersonal skills, appearance, enthusiasm and professionalism. Chen said she was shy growing up, and participating in these events made her get out of her comfort zone.

Choir students make blankets for homeless teens

Choir students from Chippewa Middle School made 11 warm fleece blankets to donate to Hope 4 Youth, a nonprofit organization that helps young people, ages 16 to 24, who are experiencing homelessness in the northern Twin Cities metro area. This is the 10th year the students have worked together to make cozy fleece blankets to donate to the homeless. Over the years, the choir students have donated over 120 blankets.

Joey Tan, a senior at Mounds View High School (MVHS) this year, has been named one of 5,000 candidates in the 2022 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program. If she is chosen, Tan will be one of only 161 U.S. Presidential Scholars awarded this

prestigious award. “I was surprised when I received the email message, knowing there are so many other candidates just as good in my school and the country. But honestly, I was very happy but mostly just grateful for the opportunity to apply for the program,” Tan said. It is not surprising that Tan was selected in this first cut for the award. Always a high achiever, she not only enrolled and excelled in all of her advanced placement (AP) classes at MVHS and secured high scores in standardized tests, but she is also carrying a full load of classes as a post-secondary enrollment options (PSEO) student at the University of Minnesota. Tan is also a teaching assistant for one of her classes at the university. She is leaning toward a degree in computer science but is keeping her options open. She has also applied to several other colleges in addition to the university.

A Zoom webinar was held by the Northeast Metro Climate Action (NMCA) on the impact of climate change on mental health. “Our mission is to raise awareness of the climate crisis within our communities and work with our elected leaders to promote climate action,” said NMCA representative Steve Jorrisen.

Manning said severe weather and disaster events can create trauma, shock, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, impacts of stress on physical health and strains on social relationships.

Mayor gives State of the City address

The vision is for the city to be a welcoming community that provides quality services, safe and beautiful neighborhoods, a vibrant economy and exceptional recreational opportunities. Parks will continue to be a high priority for Shoreview as the city completes its park system master plan this year. The mayor said the city will be issuing a request for development proposals for Rice Street Crossing, a 10-acre vacant property at the southwest corner of 1-694 and Rice Street. “Now that the Rice Street bridge and interchange improvements have been completed, we are excited to see additional new private investment occur at this gateway location,” Martin said.

Golden girls of Shoreview hit the friendship jackpot

There’s an old saying that long friendships are like jewels, polished over time to become beautiful and enduring. This is true for Marilyn Bucher Silver, Carol Bourquin and Eleanor Pearson, who have had a longtime friendship spanning 82 years. The three were 9 years old when they moved with their families to the Rustic Place, Rice and St. Marie Street neighborhood in Shoreview. They met each other at Silver’s birthday party and instantly became fast friends. Throughout the years, the trio had many adventures and supported each other through the hardships of life. “We understand each other, and we can’t hide much from each

Baseball coach’s legacy lives on at Sitzer Park

It was a perfect day for youth baseball when the fields in Sitzer Park, the crown jewel of Shoreview’s baseball parks, were officially renamed for former baseball coach Mike Anderson. Former Shoreview Area Youth Baseball (SAYB) players, friends and family joined Mayor Sandy Martin, City Council Member John Doan and members of the Minnesota Youth Athletic Services (NYFS) at Sitzer Park May 7 for a celebration and field dedication in honor of Anderson. Anderson was a resident of Shoreview for 39 years before he passed away peacefully in his sleep on May 20, 2021. Those who knew him told stories to tell about the longtime volunteer. A plaque now hangs near the concession stand at Sitzer Park. It reads, “The two youth baseball fields at Sitzer Park are dedicated in memory of Coach Mike Anderson, a Shoreview resident and longtime youth baseball coach, volunteer, mentor and member of the Shoreview Area Youth Baseball Association.

Deputy retires after serving 26 years with sheriff’s office

Deputy Brian Goodspeed has retired from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office. He started working as a deputy for the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office on April 15, 1996, and retired on May 1. He spent approximately eight years at Bellaire Education Center, a middle school that serves students who have emotional behavioral disorders (EBD), autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and developmental cognitive disabilities (DCD). At the Mounds View School District, he worked with special education students.

Mustangs blazed eight laps at Park High School in Cottage Grove, all four of them with personal best splits, hitting the finish line in seven minutes, 39.91 seconds. The time shattered the school record of 7:45.95 that has stood since 2007, and the conference meet record of 7:59.28 set by the Mustangs in 2019. “To get a state record and be invited to a national meet is huge,” McArthur said. “Icing on the cake.”

Mounds View students take action for service dogs and disabled veterans

Mounds View High School students in the Mustangs Business Management class set out to raise money for Pawsitivity Service Dogs, a nonprofit organization dedicated to taking dogs from shelters to train them to become service dogs for disabled veterans and children with disabilities. The class was organized into departments with respective managers and assistant managers who worked together to organize separate specific jobs for the event. These included operating and tracking, communications, social media, print and online media, research and technology, finance and event design. All proceeds from the event will go to Pawsitivity Service Dogs to help train and care for service dogs for people in need. The class’s goal is to raise $7,500 through an organized dinner event on May 26.

‘Operation

Pollination’ abuzz in Shoreview

The Arden Hills – Shoreview Rotary Club will soon begin the building process for its newest project, a pollinator garden and rain garden at McCullough Park. President Charlie Oltman is leading the project with prior president Mike Spellman and Community Service committee member Kent Peterson. Oltoman said that Rotary has seven areas of focus, and one of them is on the environment. The Rotary has prioritized pollinator gardens for quite a few years. Without pollinators, Oltman explains, 75% of the world’s plants would disappear and 35% of our food supply would disappear. A pollinator garden will help maintain and increase the amount of pollinators in the surrounding area. As the number of pollinators decline worldwide, the three say the pollinator garden will be a small demonstration in support of a much larger mission.

Our emphasis was on more visual stuff, and that’s what we tried to incorporate on our website.” The second nonprofit business, WebComp, aims to build websites for local businesses at no cost.

What to do with your natural Christmas tree: A regional guide

BY RANDY PAULSON STAFF WRITER

Unless people plan on keeping their natural Christmas trees up until the holiday arrives again this December, the time has come to dispose of the evergreen plants.

The conifers cannot simply be thrown into the trash; instead, they are either picked up through curbside collection or must be recycled at yard waste collection sites.

All ornaments, lights, tinsel and tree stands must first be removed before the trees are taken to a disposal site.

Residents in Anoka, Ramsey and Washington counties have a few options to get rid of their trees. Anoka County has two compost sites where residents can dispose of their Christmas trees at no charge:

• Bunker Hills, 13285 Hanson Boulevard NW, Coon Rapids.

• Rice Creek, 7701 Main St., Lino Lakes.

Bunker Hills and Rice Creek are open 9 a.m.1 p.m. Saturdays through March, weather permitting. Christmas wreaths can also be taken to each site for a fee of $5 per wreath.

In Ramsey County, holiday trees can be brought to the following yard waste collection sites:

• Arden Hills: 1881 Hudson Road.

• Frank and Sims, St. Paul: 1150 Sims Ave.

• Midway, St. Paul: 1943 Pierce Butler Route.

• White Bear Township: 5900 Sherwood Road.

FILE

All four Ramsey County locations have the same hours through March: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sundays.

In White Bear Lake, trees are picked up as part of residents’ regular trash service at no extra cost to them.

Pickups occur the first two full weeks of January on normal trash collection days. Residents must set their trees next to their trash containers by 6 a.m. on their designated collection day to ensure it’s taken away. The city advises residents to wait until the day before or the day of their collection to set out trees so the plants don’t get stuck in the snow or ice.

Washington County meanwhile has four tree drop-off spots:

• Northern Yard Waste Site: 5527 170th St. N., Hugo.

• Rumpca Companies: 9600 Glendenning Road, Cottage Grove.

The Northern Yard location is open 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturdays through March. It is open to all Washington County and Ramsey County residents and doesn’t charge for tree disposal.

Rumpca Companies takes holiday trees and wreaths 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 7 and 14. It charges $3 per item but waives the fee if people also bring a canned good to be donated to a local food shelf.

Residents in all three counties can also contact their respective cities or private waste haulers to learn if those entities will accept holiday trees.

Service dogs: What they are, what they do

BY RANDY PAULSON STAFF WRITER

Service animals play a vital role in the day-to-day lives of their owners.

That’s why federal and Minnesota laws exist that provide protections to people with service animals. The majority of such animals are dogs, though in some cases they can be miniature horses.

Section 363A.19 of the 2022 Minnesota Statutes says it’s “unfair discriminatory practice” for owners, operators or managers of hotels, restaurants, public conveyances or other public places to prohibit a person with a disability from taking their service animal into the public place or conveyance to aid them with their disability. Service animals should be properly harnessed or leashed so the owner may maintain control of it.

“An assistance dog — it fundamentally changes someone's life,” said Jeff Johnson, executive director of Can Do Canines in New Hope, the largest service dog provider in Minnesota.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) states service animals have been “individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.”

Those tasks must directly relate to the person’s disability. That means emotional support or companion animals are different from service animals because the former don’t perform specific tasks.

“They're awesome. They're wonderful tools, and they really help people,” Johnson said of emotional support animals (ESAs). “But they are fundamentally different from an assistance dog, because they're not trained specifically for one or more tasks.”

Common tasks service dogs perform include but aren’t limited to the following:

• Hearing important sounds for people who are deaf.

• Guiding people who are blind.

• Offering mobility assistance for people who have difficulty moving on their own.

• Smelling blood sugar levels of diabetic people to alert them if those levels drop.

• Responding when their owner experiences a seizure due to epilepsy.

David Fenley, ADA director for the Minnesota Council on Disability, agreed that there’s confusion between service dogs and ESAs and that the latter are still important for people with disabilities.

“ESAs, unlike service animals, are not allowed in places of public accommodations that don't allow dogs,” Fenley said. “If the brewery allows dogs, bring any dog you want, that's fine. But with restaurants and health codes, only service animals are allowed in.”

Service dogs don’t require documentation of their service animal status, even if they’ve undergone professional

training. Fenley said that’s because no government entity recognizes any such documentation.

Even though vests or capes that say “Service Animal” exist and are easy to purchase, simply putting one on a dog doesn’t make that dog a service animal.

A business owner or employee is able to ask two questions of a service animal owner in situations where it’s not clear the dog is a service animal: “Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?” and “What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?”

Fenley said those questions are allowed because they’re specifically designed to get the minimal amount of information needed by an enforcement entity, such as law enforcement, without violating a disabled person’s privacy.

Trained service dogs, however, are well behaved and typically stay next to their owner’s side when in public. Signs a dog may not be a trained service animal include erratic behavior, disobeying its owner’s commands or getting easily distracted.

“If the dog’s on a 20-foot leash running around, that dog’s not performing its tasks; it's just a dog out having a good time,” Fenley said.

The ADA requires service dogs to already be trained to do their designated tasks before being allowed in public with their owner. In Minnesota, however, service dogs in training are also allowed to be with their owners in public.

Federal

doesn’t

Dogs at Can Do Canines, which also breeds or rescues most of the dogs it trains, undergo a process that spans about two to two-and-a-half years from their birth to when they’re placed with an owner. Much of that time period involves extensive instruction with professional trainers as well as inmates at seven prisons across Minnesota and Wisconsin. After getting matched with a client, the dog spends the final few weeks of training with that person and a trainer.

OTHER STATE LAWS:

• Section 343.21, Subdivision 8a and 9a: Prohibits someone from harming a service animal or preventing it from doing its job. A person convicted of such is guilty of a misdemeanor and must make restitution for any resulting expenses.

• Section 609.833: Prohibits people from misrepresenting an animal as a service animal. Doing so can make the person guilty of a petty misdemeanor for a first offense and a misdemeanor for any additional offenses.

Shoreview tax levy increases nearly 7 percent

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Higher public safety costs have contributed to a 6.89% increase in the 2023 tax levy.

“The largest impact is in the public safety for the contracts for police and fire, and they’re driving the levy by $462,176,” Finance Director Fred Espe said. “The second-largest driver of the tax increase is staff changes, wages and benefits at $366,645.”

The city did not receive any local government state aid in 2022 and will not receive any in 2023. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy, which is outside the city’s levy, is $295,000.

Espe said that each year, Shoreview is compared to 28 cities with similar populations in the metro area — 14 cities above Shoreview’s population, and 14 cities below. In 2022, the median home value was $341,700. Shoreview’s tax rate on a median-valued home is the sixth-lowest, or 24% below the average of $1,457 at $1,105. Columbia Heights is the highest at $2,256. White Bear Lake is the lowest at $747. This comparison is only for city taxes. In looking

at the total tax bill of all jurisdictions on a home valued at $341,700, Shoreview is the 11th-highest, or 6% above the average of $4,467.

“We established the preliminary levy back in September, and that levy was not to be exceeded but could be decreased,” Mayor Sandy Martin said. “We did decrease the levy by about $5,000.”

Shoreview resident Ellen Stiehl spoke about the 2023 budget and tax levy at the public hearing held at the Dec. 5 City Council meeting. She asked if she could have an assessment done to change the property tax on her townhome.

“For us, it went up close to 15% and the value went up, and these are small townhouses with very little improvement,” she said. “There are some very expensive townhomes just north of us, and some homes have done quite a bit of improvements, which we have not done.”

Martin said the back of the property tax statement explains how someone can appeal the value of one’s home. People can also contact City Hall with questions.

Espe said the deadline to appeal is sometime this spring. Martin noted that there is also a senior citizen property tax deferral system that seniors can apply for.

City Council member Sue Denkinger commented on the increase in public safety costs from the Lake Johanna Fire Department and Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.

“To give a consistent service level throughout the community, they needed to hire some more staff and they also needed to adjust their wages to attract and attain fire department employees,” Denkinger said.

The council unanimously approved the 2023 budget and tax levy at the Dec. 19 City Council meeting.

“This increase is bigger than typical in Shoreview, but we are also facing a lot of different circumstances,” Martin said. “I commend you (Espe) and the staff on bringing this budget to the level that it’s at and keeping the residents in mind.”

5 easy ways to get outdoors this winter

Wondering how to get outside and enjoy the outdoors this winter? The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has some great no- and lowcost activities open to everyone.

“We know Minnesotans love being outdoors, and winter offers a whole different way to play outside,” said Ann Pierce, DNR parks and trails director.

The DNR offers several suggestions to make getting outdoors easy, fun and affordable for Minnesotans:

Get a vehicle permit

Vehicle permits are required to visit state parks and recreation areas. The cost is $7 per day or $35 for an annual permit. Permits can be purchased at a park office, or visitors can save time by purchasing online before heading to the park. Park permits can be purchased on the DNR website (mndnr. gov/ParkPermit).

The DNR also offers free park permits through its library program. More than 100 libraries across Minnesota offer seven-day permits that people can check out at no cost.

“The library park pass program is a terrific way to access state parks for free,” Pierce said. “It’s one way we’re removing barriers to getting outdoors and enjoying the beauty of Minnesota’s state parks.”

A list of participating libraries is on the DNR website (mndnr.gov/LibraryPass).

Try winter camping

Winter camping is offered at 25 state parks and recreation areas. For visitors looking for a warmer overnight stay, many state parks offer heated camper cabins with electricity and yurts with wood stoves that are open year-round. Camper cabins accommodate up to six people, while yurts hold

three to seven people. Pets are not allowed inside camper cabins or yurts.

Find the winter camping guide (mndnr.gov/State_Parks/Winter_ Camping) on the DNR website, as well as information on staying in camper cabins (mndnr.gov/CamperCabins) or yurts (mndnr.gov/Yurts).

Look into family-friendly events

Events and programs are scheduled at state parks throughout the winter season, offering a wide range of activities, including escape rooms,

interpretive hikes, crafting, education about park wildlife and more.

“Whether you want to learn, or be physically active, or both, you’re sure to find an event that fits you,” Pierce said. “State parks and trails events are suitable for beginners and all age groups.”

State park events are free, but a vehicle permit is required to enter the park. Find state park events on the DNR events calendar (mndnr.gov/ PTCalendar).

Rent snowshoeing or skiing equipment

Snowshoe rentals are available at 30 state parks and recreation areas, and five state parks offer cross-country ski rentals. Rental prices vary by location, and some state parks offer free rentals.

“Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are great activities to be active while beating cabin fever,” Pierce said. “If you need rental equipment, it’s a good idea to check the website for the park you’re planning to visit or call ahead to get details about the type of rental equipment offered at the park and to check for availability.”

For snowshoe rental information, visit the snowshoeing page of the DNR website (mndnr.gov/state_parks/ snowshoeing) and for cross-country ski rentals, visit the ski pass map on the DNR website (mndnr.gov/Skiing/ SkiPass/Map.html).

Try ice fishing

It’s free to fish in many Minnesota state parks, and some parks have fishing kits for visitors to borrow.

“Ice fishing is a quintessential winter activity in Minnesota,” said Pierce. “If you’re new to ice fishing, don’t worry, we can help. State parks offer events and hands-on learning programs to teach you how to ice fish.”

Those interested in ice fishing in state parks can read tips, learn about ice safety, find a lake to fish on and more by visiting the state parks ice fishing guide (mndnr.gov/ state_parks/ice_fishing.html). To find parks that have fishing kits available to borrow, see the DNR’s page about borrowing equipment (mndnr.gov/ state_parks/loaner.html).

Former Mounds View hockey player makes it to the pros

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Sydney Brodt first put on ice skates when she was 2 years old, and hasn’t stopped since.

Brodt, 24, is a forward for the Minnesota Whitecaps, a women’s professional hockey team in the Premier Hockey Federation. The team plays in Richfield, Minnesota, at the Richfield Ice Arena.

Brodt’s love for hockey began in North Oaks.

“Growing up, I played a lot of hockey at the North Oaks ice rink with all of my friends,” Brodt said. “Every day after school, we’d go down there and play. I’ve always just loved the game.”

Brodt graduated from Mounds View High School in 2016. She made the Mustangs girl’s varsity hockey team as an eighth grader.

“A highlight for me while playing for the Mounds View team was going to the state tournament twice — when I was in eighth grade and when I was a sophomore,” she said. “I had a lot of great friends on the team, and I loved my coaches. I still have good relationships with them.”

Brodt got a scholarship to play hockey at the University of MinnesotaDuluth (UMD). She played all four years and received a degree in financial markets and a minor in psychology.

“We went to the national tournament once when I was there, and my favorite game was beating the Gophers,” she said. “I really loved Duluth.”

After college, Brodt played in the Linköping Hockey Club in Sweden for a year.

“It was a great experience, because I got to play and got to travel around

SPORTS BRIEFS

Girls hockey: Mustangs are runners-up in Brooks tourney

The Mounds View/Irondale girls hockey team was runner-up in the Gold Division of the Herb Brooks Tournament last week.

“We have had great games lately,” said coach Dana Romaker, “because the girls have been working well together and playing a faster, more physical game.”

MVI improved to 5-8-1 with the two tourney wins.

The Mustangs opened with a 3-1 win over Dodge County (12-3) on Monday at Schwan’s Super Rink in Blaine. Gabi Bullert scored in the first and second periods, the latter of those short-handed, and Sarah Johnson made it 3-0 just 12 seconds into the

Europe,” she said. “They have a super good league over there for women where they pay your cost of living and it’s a good place for female players to play after college,” she noted.

After playing overseas last year, Brodt said it’s good to be back in Minnesota and playing for the Whitecaps.

“This is the first year that we’ve gained a lot of traction, and we’re getting good living salaries,” she said. “We are playing at a much higher level; it’s really taking off with sponsorships, great coaches and management.”

Brodt is living with her parents, Bart and Darcy of North Oaks.

“My parents really love it that I’m back in the U.S. and Minnesota so they can come to my games,” she said. “My dad has coached me my entire life, and our family is really into hockey. They’ve been an inspiration for me, especially my dad.”

When she’s not playing hockey, Brodt is an assistant coach for the women’s hockey team at Hamline University.

“That’s what I do in the mornings and afternoons, and then I have practice with the Whitecaps later in the afternoon,” she said. “I love it.”

In the future, Brodt plans to keep on coaching hockey or pursue a career in financial markets — or maybe both. But now she will continue to play professionally for the Whitecaps.

“Hockey has given me so much,” she said. “It’s crazy how many people I’ve met along the way throughout the world. It’s super special.”

MVI pulled even with goals by Nadia Buck and Johnson in the second period. The score remained 2-2 until Lauren Ballinger got the game-winner at 15:07 of the third period. Rupp was again in goal.

face-off in overtime.

Jackson Vogel delivered that game-winner. Carson Steinhoff, Cooper Siegert and Cooper Simpson scored for Shakopee in the first period. The Sabres outshot the Mustangs 45-26. Mustang goalie Aidan Petrich kept it close as he stopped 41 shots.
