FEBRUARY is

‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ celebrates 30 years

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

The St. Odilia Musical Ministry is presenting its 30th Anniversary show “It’s a Wonderful Life a New Musical,” from Feb. 16 to 19 at St. Odilia Catholic Church.

This classic tale faithfully depicts the story of George Bailey and the heartwarming townspeople of Bedford Falls. Their collective journey reminds us of the true meaning of life, the power of faith, and the blessings of friendship, family & community. Throw in a fun-filled Charleston dance scene, and you are sure to be inspired as this timeless musical captures your heart and stirs your soul with the resounding truth that every life has significant value.

Administrative Manager Deb Darlin said this year’s musical includes themes surrounding mental health struggles, the power of faith, and the blessings of friendship, family and community.

“We felt really strong as a committee that this show is relevant to what’s going on in America to raise awareness of mental health struggles which are on the rise,” Darling said. “The whole idea that the power of faith and power of the community and family can really help people get through these struggles.”

This year’s cast of 38 is comprised of many families in the community.

Production Manager Jerry Ruhland said the people who started this ministry 30 years ago asked him to build the sets for the show.

“I’ve been here for most of those 30 years and we feel that the show is all grown up,” Ruhland said.

In honor of Black History

Month, the Shoreview Press reached out to Andre Barnes, who teaches African American History at Irondale High School within Mounds View Public Schools.

Q: What is one part of Black history or who is one person you wish more people knew about?

Can you tell us a little bit about what you know?

A: I wish people had a deeper grasp of the politics surrounding Malcolm X’s ideals. He’s a figure that illustrates one key factor of African-American history, and that is that class supersedes race because race is created by conditions fueled by class differences. We’re all average, working-class people in this together!

Q: What are some elements of

Black history that are special in your life, and why?

A: For me, the most instrumental part of Black history has to be in the music. Personally (as someone with few living family members), these are one of the only cultural links to my past I have.

My favorite is the trio of albums by Philadelphia soul trio The O’Jays. Between 1973 and 1976, they released a series of albums relating to the Black experience of the 20th century transitioning out of the Jim Crow era into the hopeful 1970s. The albums are respectively titled “Ship Ahoy” (an album depicting the hardships of Chattel Slavery), “Survival” (an album illustrating the economic inequalities of President Johnson’s Great Society in the 1970s) and “Family Reunion”

(an album discussing the interpersonal struggles of Black culture in the 1970s).

Q: How do you plan to celebrate Black History Month 2023? Is there anything you’re looking forward to?

A: I plan to expose my students to a key African American figure every day during the month along with facilitating the construction of a Reconstruction Museum to tie in with putting the spotlight on Black history all February long!

Q: What do you recommend community members do this year to enjoy and engage in Black History Month?

A: Take time to acknowledge all of the contributions that happened to me and continue to be made to our great country by African American figures throughout our history.

Cafesjian Art Trust Museum extends popular first exhibit

SHOREVIEW — The Cafesjian Art Trust (CAT) will extend its opening exhibit, “A Lasting Friendship, Gerard Cafesjian and Dale Chihuly,” through April 29.

The contemporary art museum’s inaugural installation showcases the artwork of Dale Chihuly and celebrates his 30-year friendship with the CAT’s founding collector, Gerard Cafesjian. Interspersed among Chihuly’s iconic glass masterpieces are decades’ worth of correspondence between the two men, as well as other ephemera that exist as a testament to a deep and enduring friendship. Written letters, faxes and other notes allude to the works themselves, and provide a personal, intimate glimpse into the connection of these two dynamic, driven personalities. The show also features informal drawings, often done on table linens from dinners or lunches that Chihuly and Cafesjian enjoyed together.

“We’ve been bowled over by the public’s enthusiasm for our new museum,” said Andy Schlauch, executive director of the CAT. “And because we booked out so far in advance so quickly, it made sense to extend ‘A Lasting Friendship.’ We want to give as many people as possible the opportunity to enjoy this

unique installation before we move to our next show, ‘Highlights of the Cafesjian Art Trust Collection,’ now slated for June.”

The CAT is a free museum where scholars, art lovers, students and the general public can study and enjoy its world-class collection of contemporary and modern art, including a large collection of studio art glass. The CAT Museum, located at 4600 Churchill Street in Shoreview, is available for reservation-required guided tours, at cafesjianarttrust.org.

The museum will be closed from April 30 through May 31 to install the next exhibition, “Highlights of the Collection,” which will open June 1. The next exhibits in 2023 and 2024 will be:

• “Highlights of the Collection” — June 1 through late October

• “Fooling the Eye: Optics of Vasarely and Kuhn” — Nov. 2 through May 4, 2024

The approximately 3,000 pieces that make up the permanent collection of the CAT include studio glass by international artists, with works by Dale Chihuly, Mary Ann ‘Toots’ Zynsky, Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová, and Modern and Contemporary artwork by Arshile Gorky, Victor Vasarely, Georges

To our current customers THANK YOU, and if you are looking for a new local garage or are tired of the dealership games please come experience a honest family oriented repair center.

Braque and many other worldrenowned artists.

The museum is free to all and open for guided tours only. Reservations are required. Tours are at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Thursday through

Saturday. Tours may be scheduled online at cafesjianarttrust.org or by calling 612-359-8991. From press release

Vadnais-Sucker Park habitat restoration begins this winter

A portion of the Vadnais-Sucker Regional Park will soon look different to parkgoers. This winter and spring, several partners will be pursuing a wetland and forest restoration in the park. Park visitors will notice field crews in and around the project site, which is located in the northwest portion of the park near Highway 96 and Rice Street. This restoration is significant, because it strives to restore a special and rare habitat that’s been tucked away from development over the last century.

But what’s so special about this area, and why set out to improve it? Wetlands in general are often linked to other surface water and groundwater systems, making this an asset near the lakes that serve as reservoirs for the Saint Paul Regional Water Services. Habitats in this region of the park are a diverse mix of open rich peatland, marsh, mesic and wet forest, and wet meadow. Not only are these habitats in the park rare and declining, but the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has recognized several rare plants in the park. These include bluebead lily, pink lady’s slipper and a variety of native ferns.

Funding for this project is provided by Great River Greening, which received $154,000 for the project through the DNR’s Outdoor Heritage Fund. The Outdoor Heritage Fund works to “restore, protect, and enhance wetlands, prairies, forest, and habitat for fish, game, and wildlife.”

Just like its unique blend of habitats, plants and wildlife, there is a unique blend of human communities that use this park. Community gatherings and uses center around the park for fishing, hunting (select permitted bow hunting dates are coordinated by the county), walking, jogging, birding, celebrations and more. It becomes more than just a piece of land or sanctuary for plants. These things are valuable and sound neat on paper, but it’s often the lived experience of a place that inspires us to be invested in it.

The land in Vadnais-Sucker Lake Regional Park is preserved, but what stories does it tell? Follow along as the project unfolds at vlawmo. org/vadnaissuckerrestoration. There you’ll find updates and photos of the restoration, plus more on the voices, stories and wildlife that make up the lived experience of one of our favorite parks.

Project partners include Great River Greening, Saint Paul Regional Water Services, Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization and Ramsey County Parks and Recreation.

Auto dial dilemma

T he iPhone and Apple watch recently received a crash detection warning update. The device will automatically dial 911 if it senses you are in a crash. This seems like a good safety feature, but perhaps only for those who don't do anything too risky. If you’re an active person who might be heading out skiing, snowmobiling, mountain biking, or a thrill seeker who loves amusement park rides, you may be at risk of calling 911 with a false alarm. Emergency service workers are receiving an increased number of false alarm calls due to these devices. If you have an active lifestyle, it is recommended that you monitor this feature during these activities.

F urnace shutdowns

H igh-efficiency gas furnaces often have pipes that vent out the side of the home. Have you checked your furnace exhaust pipe and fresh air intake to make sure they are free of snow and ice on the side of your home? Snow and ice can build up and restrict the air flow to and from the furnace causing a start up cycle before it shuts down. A visual inspection and clearing of the snow and ice can be one way to help prevent a shutdown. If you know somebody who is not able to check their house for this potential build-up, it's a neighborly thing to do to help them inspect their furnace vent. Another common reason for a furnace to stop working is low batteries in your thermostat. It is always recommended to have a professional clean and inspect your furnace annually.

T his winter it was great to see the neighbors helping neighbors with the snow. It's good to check the fire hydrant in your neighborhood to be sure snow is cleared away so in an emergency firefighters can hook up hoses.  It's also up to us to keep our mailboxes clear of snow and ice if we want to receive our mail. According to the United States Postal Service, you should clear a 30 foot area around your mailbox so the USPS driver can drive up to it and deliver your mail without getting out of the vehicle. One test would be to drive your own vehicle up to your mailbox and see if you can easily put your cell phone in and out of it without risk of dropping it. We also have a duty to keep our sidewalks and paths clear so mail carriers on a walking route can safely deliver mail. I’ve noticed throughout some neighborhoods people have gone above and beyond to clear paths between homes so the mail carrier can walk from house to house in an efficient manner. Let’s help our postal carriers in this time of need. Also, people should consider jobs with the USPS, as they are experiencing a shortage of workers.

Talking winter skin health with U of M

The winter months bring fun activities for those willing to brave the outdoors, but time outside in the dry and cold air can be tough on our skin.

Dr. David Pearson, assistant professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School, dermatologist with M Health Fairview and the director of the Autoimmune Connective Tissue Diseases Specialty Clinic, talks about how to keep your skin healthy during the winter.

Q : What unique challenges does our skin face in the winter?

Dr. Pearson:

Our skin is our interface with the environment. As temperatures and humidity levels drop, one of the first places we experience this is on our skin — particularly in places like Minnesota where it gets very cold and dry. A number of studies have looked at measures of skin (and even fingernail) moisture content in winter versus summer, and unsurprisingly, it’s much lower. When our skin dries out, its barrier function is compromised and we become more susceptible to external allergens, irritants and even infections. The effects

of cold can range from being a nuisance to quite dangerous. Frostbite can occur when the skin temperature gets to 28°F — this only takes about 30 minutes when the thermometer reads 0°F. Our skin isn’t physiologically equipped for unprotected, prolonged exposure to these temperatures, so be sure to put on a warm coat and hat when you’re going outside.

Q : What common skin issues do you see during the winter?

Dr. Pearson: We see lots of dry skin, even incidentally in people who come in for other skin concerns. Winter is often a more difficult time for people with eczema — especially on their hands — as well as other areas on the body. We also see many irritant reactions, such as from frequent tissue use during respiratory virus season or lip licker’s rashes. In my area of specialization in autoimmune connective tissue diseases, I see a lot of Raynaud’s and pernio (chilblains). Raynaud’s is the rapid onset of white or blue discoloration of the fingers and/or toes from cold exposure due to constriction of blood vessels. Pernio is the delayed onset of tender pink bumps on the fingers and toes 1-2 days after cold exposure.

Q : What are your go-to recommendations for those suffering from dry winter skin?

Dr. Pearson: Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! It’s pretty intuitive, but it bears repeating. The environment treats our skin differently in the winter, and that means we may have to change our behaviors to acclimate. I generally recommend a thick moisturizing

cream that you have to scoop out of a jar or squeeze out of a tube over those with a pump handle, which tend to be thinner. I don’t like a lot of additives, perfumes, scents, etc. — keep it simple. Ceramides may be helpful in restoring the skin barrier, so those can be a good ingredient to look for. There’s some data suggesting humidifiers can be helpful in certain circumstances, but probably less so than moisturizers. I also recommend a gentle soap that doesn’t have perfumes or scents either, as these can be irritating to the skin.

Q : Should people still wear sunscreen/SPF in the winter?

Dr. Pearson: In short, yes. Getting into a routine with sunscreen improves consistency of use, so I often recommend working in a combined moisturizer/ SPF product every day. The long answer is a little more nuanced. In Minnesota, our UV index — a measure of how much ultraviolet light reaches us — is pretty low in the winter. People’s skin is usually covered up in the winter, but there’s actually a fair amount of reflection of UV light from the snow. Prolonged exposure through outdoor activities (or long drives) can add up. If you’re lucky enough to travel south or upwards in elevation, I would definitely recommend applying sunscreen like you would during the summer months.

Neighborhood speaks out on proposed development

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

A petition signed by about 61 residents was sent to the city of Shoreview regarding the proposed development on the northwest corner of Gramsie and Hodgson Roads.

A majority of the signatures were from the Virginia Avenue neighborhood which made it clear at a recent council meeting that they don’t want a high density development on the underdeveloped property.

Perry Hackett, who has lived on Virginia Avenue in Shoreview for 35 years, said he was blindsided by the proposal of high density living.

“You got a petition that was signed by nearly everybody way beyond the boundaries of people who had to be notified because so many of us are going to be impacted,” Hackett told the City Council. “It’s very clear Virginia Avenue will be the prime place for going in and out and since you sealed off County Road F years ago, that just leaves Damar as the only other place to come into that whole other neighborhood.”

Senior planner Allison Eddins said what’s being proposed from Tyme Properties is 72 apartment units being split between two buildings with each building containing 36 units. The applicant is proposing 48 underground parking spaces (24 stalls under each building) and 96 surface spaces for the apartments. The 21 townhomes will have a two-car garage and 14 guest parking spaces.

“The site has frontage on Gramsie Road, Hodgson Road and Virginia Avenue,” Eddins said. “Gramsie Road and Virginia Avenue are city roads while Hodgson Road is owned by the county.”

According to Eddins, Ramsey County is planning a round-a-bout to replace the signalized intersection at Hodgson Road/Rice Street/Gramsie Road as part of a road reconstruction project to begin this year. The road project, which goes from Gramsie Road north to Bridge Court (just south of Highway 96) will also include improved pedestrian infrastructure along Hodgson Road.

The project would also require an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for high density residential use, according to Eddins.

John Wardell has lived in Shoreview for 50 years and said the city should stick with the Comprehensive Plan (see the neighborhood letter to the city at https://bit.ly/3wHC2iV).

Duzdee Ryan said she has lived in Shoreview for 25 years and is concerned about safety in her neighborhood.

“If this property has the access to enter Virginia Avenue there is a blind rainbow spot where there is a ton of brand new homes and you will see 10 to 15 little boys running into the street,” Ryan said. “I love seeing this grow into another awesome community that my kids got to grow up in. I’m really concerned about the access onto Virginia Avenue and is there another

way that we could get two accesses out onto Gramsie or maybe one out onto Hodgson and avoid Virginia Avenue a possibility at all?”

Paul and Sharon Lovegren, who live on Gramsie Road, expressed concerns about traffic and parking.

“In this concept here, you have all of these units but no place for the people to park,” Paul said. “Are people going to walk to work and walk home? It’s not very well thought out and it’s not going to work.”

Virginia Avenue resident Karolina Peterson highlighted the emotions in the room.

“You are our elected officials and we are looking to your leadership for the development of this site that everybody wants developed,” Peterson said. “We are looking for something that will compliment the neighborhood as it is today and that will be safe and contribute to a happy life in Shoreview.”

After hearing an earful from residents, Paul Schreier, President of Tyme Properties said he is sensitive to the concerns of the community.

“Our opinion and our contention is that this site should be a multifamily residential site and we think that’s the highest and best use,” Schreier said. “I’m sensitive to the fact that neighbors don’t want a bunch of units next to their house but I’ll say in all honesty, it’s very hard to make a medium density project work on this scale. There’s just too much infrastructure, too much roads and there’s too much cost per foot.”

He also said that he is listening to public feedback. He noted that he would not like to go back to the drawing board and believes this is a proper use for the development.

“These buildings could certainly be flipped around, but the only thing people have to understand is probably cast in stone is the entrance onto Gramsie,” Schreier said. “I know there’s problems with it but there’s literally almost no place else to put it.”

He added, “We put a lot of work into this but there is still a lot of heavy lifting that still needs to be done.”

Council Member Emy Johnson recommended to Schreier to take the resident’s comments under deliberation until he comes back to work with staff on the development.

“Our neighborhoods make us Shoreview and I want to make sure from my perspective that we don’t get lost in that,” Johnson said. “We have a shortage in housing and workforce housing is exactly what we’ve been talking about in the language and the vernacular that there are people who have jobs today that make money that still cannot find a place to live.”

She added, “In 2021 and 2022 we added more housing for workforce housing and we still have a demand. I ask, as I always do, to follow our process and use staff and our Planning Commission to bring forward the best solution possible for this parcel.”

Mayor Sue Denkinger commended the residents for their feedback on concerns for public safety, traffic and parking concerns.

“I want to thank the neighborhood folks for coming out,” Denkinger said. “We’ve heard you in the council and from what Mr. Schreier has said, I believe he’s heard you as well. Again this is a concept stage and we’re just gathering information.”

Public hearings will be held in future Planning Commission and City Council meetings regarding the Planned Unit Development stage for the project where formal action will be taken.

The next Shoreview City Council meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 6, in council chambers at City Hall, 4600 Victoria St. N., in Shoreview.

Business in Shoreview turns over a new leaf in farming

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Just off Chatsworth Street in Shoreview lies a farm inside an urban container.

Frisk Fra Boksen, a relatively new local business in Shoreview, is owned by and operated by Shoreview resident Chris Glasoe.

“Our container is a complete farming system inside a box,” Glasoe said. “We grow full-size greens, including several varieties of lettuce, rainbow Swiss chard, kale, arugula and basils. Our primary markets are farm-to-table restaurants and online retail orders. We are working with Churchill St. restaurant on setting up a retail pickup with them as a way to support two Shoreview businesses.”

According to Glasoe, the urban container is fully assembled as a hydroponic farm — which grows with water instead of soil.

“It is a complete hydroponic growing system in a box,” Glasoe said. “Meaning, we perform every farm-related task from seeding to harvesting and packaging, right inside the container.”

The benefits of hydroponic farming include:

• It saves water: On average, hydroponic systems use 90% less water than soil-based farming by efficiently recapturing and recycling water.

• It uses space wisely: A hydroponic farm can grow three to 10 times the number of crops in the same amount of space as traditional farmland.

• Plants are safe: Food is typically vulnerable to extreme weather and pests. Hydroponic systems can be set up indoors away from harmful elements.

• There is no need for chemicals: Because food grows inside away from pests, there’s no need for any

Here are interesting facts about the farm:

• The farm is 40 feet long by 8 feet wide by 9 1/2 feet high.

• The farm has insulation with an R28 value.

• The farm weighs 8 tons and is tied down with city code required tie-downs.

• It has the equivalent growing space of 2 to 4 acres of land. The variance is due to the way various crops are spaced when planted in the towers.

• Annual output ranges from 2 to 6 tons, again depending on the variety of crops being grown.

• The farm uses between 168-231 kilowatt-hours/ day on average.

• The farm uses 5 gallons of water per day on average, again depending on crops and outside conditions.

harmful herbicides or pesticides.

Glasoe said he has always been interested in alternative energies. Back when he was getting his undergraduate degree at St. Olaf College, he had two friends that were interested in farming and engineering.

“We brainstormed an idea of building an energyefficient, self-sufficient farm and when I graduated, there wasn’t any more interest in alternative energies,” Glasoe said. “Government programs dried up, but I stayed interested in it.”

When Glasoe and his wife Barb retired, they started Frisk Fra Boksen because they wanted to create

Waiting Child

Chays,12, is an endearing, engaging and playful boy with a vivid imagination. He will make you laugh with his chatty, friendly demeanor and quirky turn of phrase. He can be somewhat quiet at first but opens up when he gets to know you. In his free time, Chays likes to play football and video games, ride his bike, and read books (especially about animals). His favorite foods include salad, spaghetti, lasagna, pizza, and McDonald’s. Chays enjoys animals and would be happy to have a pet. He would do best in a two-parent home that does not have a lot of other children.

Following adoption, Chays would need to keep in contact with his sisters.

a low-impact, sustainable way of producing fresh vegetables.

“We read about this kind of thing back in 2018 or so and found it interesting,” Glasoe said. “We put it all together and bought this, had it delivered and tried to figure it out. Which we did.”

Glasoe said he uses a mobile application to remotely monitor and control the climate inside the farm such as the lights, temperature and humidity. He knows what’s going on inside the farm, even when he’s not there.

The farm harvests approximately 25 pounds of produce each week. In the future, Glasoe hopes to have multiple containers and expand the farm.

“Besides farm-to-table restaurants, we do some retail sales online, but farm-to-table is our focus,” he said. “We want to grow it, and we’ll see what happens.”

Mustang matmen are 24-0, conference champs

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER

The Mounds View wrestlers have been rocking all season. The Mustangs have achieved a 24-0 record, their first victory over Stillwater since forever, their conference title since 2016 and a No. 6 ranking in Class 4A.

“This group is special because they are not only very talented but are very dedicated,” said Daniel Engebretson, 20th year coach. “They have worked hard, year round, together and are ready to take the next step. They are very confident and not intimidated by any team.”

That next step for the Mustangs, who have just one senior starter and one senior semi-regular, is pursuing their state team trip since 2007.

Mounds View went 29-4, 23-6, 18-8, 26-6, and 21-7 in the previous five years but could never get past Stillwater in the conference or section. The Mustangs finally toppled Stillwater, 34-17 on Jan. 18 at home (see box score below), and finished 9-0 in the Suburban East.

Engebretson said he could

“It is free and open to the public and we will be serving four kinds of soups as part of the refreshments,” said Tom Reynen, President of Gallery 96 Art Center.

“Artist’s Choice” will feature paintings, photography, and sculpture. Each member was encouraged to enter one artwork of their choice of any topic or medium.

Reynen said the Gallery 96 Art Center has approximately 65 members and each show has a different theme.

Weekly Outlook

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Yahoo, we’re two-thirds through the core winter months. For the most part January was a fairly mild month, finishing about 5º warmer than normal. January was also a very snowy month. I totaled 22.1” of snow, bringing my seasonal total to 54.8”. While we might think we’re over the winter hump, February could still bring us some very cold temperatures. The next two weeks will be very telling in which direction we’re headed. If we can come out of this current Arctic flow and back into Pacific flow, we’ll enjoy a milder period; otherwise it won’t be until late February when milder temperatures become the normal.

Farmers Insurance agency under 3rd generation ownership

The Doerrer Agency got its roots in 1960 with Joe Doerrer, a born-and-raised St. Paul resident. Joe started his Farmers Insurance agency in St. Paul off of Rice Street. Joe’s daughter, Anne, started working with Joe while she attended the University of Minnesota. Anne quickly learned that this would be something she loved. She opened a Farmers Insurance agency in 1980 with her dad. Anne quickly grew her own agency and after 14 years together, Joe decided to sell the agency to Anne.

In her first season in the Premiere Hockey Federation (PHF), Sydney Brodt earned her first All-Star selection to represent Team U.S.A. in Toronto, Canada. Through 13 games, the captain has scored five goals and three assists and has shown why she was selected to be the Whitecaps captain in her rookie season. The North Oaks native and 2016 Mounds View High School graduate, Brodt was also one of two players to represent the PHF at the ECHL All-Star Classic in Norfolk, Virginia. At the All-Star Classic, Brodt demonstrated the fastest skater competition, where she clocked in at 14.25 seconds, and scored the event-winning goal in the round-robin showcase. After an 0-2-2 start to the season, the White Caps have won eight out of their last ten games and the team’s captain said everyone knew they’d turn the tide of the season. “I know all of us have had confidence in each other and we had a little rough start there,” Brodt said. “But I think we all just remained composed and confident and really started turning things around creating chemistry and kind of camaraderie in the locker room and we’re rolling now.”
