Community effort adds new instruments to Mounds View Schools

BY AMANDA DEPHILLIPS SPECIAL TO THE PRESS

Schmitt Music delivered 16 new instruments to Mounds View Public Schools last month as part of the Schmitt Music Challenge, a community fundraiser.

This challenge was set in place last fall during Rock the School House, the annual fundraising event for the Mounds View Schools Education Foundation (MVSEF). Schmitt Music challenged attendees and foundation supporters to raise funds in exchange for new instruments. For every $5,000 raised by the foundation, Schmitt Music donated a new instrument to Mounds View Public Schools.

And when Rock the School House raised more than $80,000 last fall, the challenge was met and a total of 16 instruments were donated.

“This was really an outstanding opportunity for the instrumental music programs,” said Paul Gronert,

band director at Chippewa Middle School. He approached the team at Schmitt Music about partnering with the district to further fundraising efforts. He brought the partnership to the attention of MVSEF Executive Director Heather Meyer, and a collaboration was born.

The instruments will enhance the district’s school-owned instrument program, which makes participating in band or orchestra more affordable for students and their families.

“One initiative supported by the foundation is the school-owned instrument program,” Meyer explained. “Increased access to schoolowned musical instruments and subsidized rental costs is a key mission and, through the foundation’s support, we want to ensure that band and orchestra is accessible to all students in our schools.”

The orange-red tint of the moon during a total lunar eclipse is a reflection of sunlight scattering through the earth’s atmosphere, like a sunrise or sunset. A super moon has close proximity to earth. A wolf moon is the first full moon of the year.

Remembering Shore-Oaks Dairy Queen

BY BONNIE MORPHEW SPECIAL TO THE PRESS

Shore-Oaks Dairy Queen, owned and operated by Norman and Carolyn Espersen, broke ground for their store at 4615 Hodgson Road, Shoreview, in 1973.

Norman, a husband and father of five (Bonnie, Cindy, Mike, Mark and Larry) worked in the food industry for years with his father and brother. He also was a military cook in the Army during the Korean War. Once, he was stationed on an older ship that was not set up to handle the 10,000 men that he had to feed.

Norm, being the kind of guy he was, trained his crew to meet the challenge and soldiered through. He did the same for his Dairy Queen. His wife, Carolyn, was a homemaker who cared for many

foster children early in their marriage as well as after they had some of their own children. Some of their children are adopted.

It was a big step for the Espersens to open up the Shore-Oaks Dairy Queen and become a large part of the Shoreview and North Oaks community.

Their Dairy Queen quickly became a local hangout for the lunch crowd, as well as visitors after work and following games and events. Many times, the line of customers stretched out the door. Not only did the store provide jobs for the community, but the Espersens contributed to many local sport teams as well as church and school events.

Carolyn was Norman’s staunch supporter despite her much quieter presence. She kept the schedules and

bill-paying process in tiptop shape.

Those who worked for them knew the meaning of being part of a team. From morning setup to closing up for the night, Shore-Oaks Dairy Queen ran like a well-oiled machine. Norm ran a tight ship, and anyone who worked for him can attest to that.

Members of the Dairy Queen crew were rewarded for their hard work with some sort of celebration or another each year. This was a time for merriment and camaraderie, which always boosted the morale of one and all. These events were often held at a Polynesian Restaurant called Bali Hai, which is now closed.

Some years, the Espersens hosted this celebration in their home, sometimes

SCHOOL BRIEFS Mounds View students win innovation award A Mounds View High School team won a World Series of Innovation challenge award from NFTE (Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship), a global nonprofit focused on activating the entrepreneurial mindset in youth.

Mounds View High School students won the Moody’s Responsible Consumption Challenge They developed the idea for Solupal Bags, a water-soluble and eco-friendly alternative shopping bag that eliminates the need to use — and the waste caused by — plastic shopping bags.

The World Series of Innovation is a global online competition that challenges small teams of young people, ages 13–24, to imagine creative solutions for meeting the United Nations (UN) sustainable development goals (SDGs). The global goals address some of the most serious issues facing the world today, including poverty, equality and environmental degradation. More than 2,000 young people from around the world participated in the fall 2018 challenges. Judging and public voting was conducted in January. Sponsors of challenges in this competition cycle included The Moody’s Foundation, Ernst & Young, LLP (EY), SAP, GoDaddy and NFTE. One winning team was selected in each sponsored category.

Winners were determined based on combined scores tabulated from public voting and expert judging. Judges were drawn from the organizations sponsoring the challenges as well as a broader pool of business leaders and entrepreneurs who volunteered to score competition entries. Each winning team received a $1,500 cash prize, plus $500 for their school or nonprofit organization. Runner-up teams each received a prize of $300.

NFTE will be launching a whole new set of World Series of Innovation challenges on Feb. 11. Young innovators between the ages 13 and 24 are invited to compete in the Spring 2019 challenges. Visit innovation.nfte. com to learn more.

Sponsor summer food program During the school year, many Minnesota families depend on free or reduced-price meals their children get at school to provide nourishment.

When school is out for the summer, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) can provide funding for meals for children in order to bridge the “nutrition gap” during the summer months.

The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) is looking for eligible schools and organizations to sponsor the SFSP and provide free meals to Minnesota children 18 and under during the summer when school is out. MDE provides sponsors with SFSP training, on-site technical assistance, and meal reimbursement funding for providing meals to children 18 and under in areas of economic need. Program sites are often located at local schools, recreation and community centers, parks, family housing complexes and other locations operated by youth, cultural and faith-based organizations.

MOUNDS VIEW SCHOOLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION | SUBMITTED

In January, Mark Bobnick and Allie Blake of Schmitt Music presented 16 music instruments to Mounds View Public Schools district staff, and band and orchestra students from Chippewa and Highview middle schools. These instruments were given as a result of the Schmitt Music Challenge in partnership with Mounds View Public Schools Education Foundation (MVSEF).

Front to back, left to right: Brita DePhillips, Abigail Casey, Brody Stefanik, Jordan Williams, Allie Blake of Schmitt Music; Gigi Goligowski, Ann Claridge of the MVSEF Board of Directors, Isaiah Vazquez-Matze, Band Director and Music Coordinator Andy Schmidt, Lydia Nau, Mark Bobnick of Schmidt Music, Chippewa Band Instructor Paul Gronert, Graham Hutchcroft and Superintendent Chris Lennox.

According to Gronert, 30-40 percent of students in band and orchestra districtwide play schoolowned instruments. Some of that group are students who choose to play a larger instrument like a tuba, French horn or string bass, which tend to be more costly to buy or rent from elsewhere.

All students who want to play an instrument have access to one at a Mounds View Public School, thanks to the school-owned instrument program.

Currently, 46 percent of students in fourth through 12th grade are participating in music programs. More than 1,500 students play in the orchestra and more than 1,300 students play in band.

“These numbers are at a 10-year high and are projected to continue to grow over at least the next eight years,” Gronert said. “In the past 10 years, we have added 750 students to our instrumental music programs.”

Due to the increased interest in music, Mounds View Public Schools music programs have been collecting donated instruments for several years.

“The great news is that many of the instruments are usable and with a little TLC (tender loving care), and they go right into our inventories. The

not-so-great news is that the cost to repair the instruments in really bad shape is more than they’re worth.”

The new instruments from Schmitt Music through the MVSEF and community donors will bring brand new instruments to the collection.

“Any student who wants to play an instrument can play, and we make it happen,” Gronert said. “But it’s not always with a great instrument.

Our mission is to make it happen with a great instrument. Thanks to the partnership of Schmitt

Music and the foundation, these 16 instruments immediately impact the quality of our program.”

The instruments include flutes, clarinets, violins, alto and tenor saxophones, xylophones, trumpets and trombones.

Congratulations community

W

hen I attended the Minnesota Newspaper Association conference the end of January, I learned the Shoreview Press had won two first-place awards in the association’s annual Better Newspaper Contest. This is a statewide contest with over 4,000 entries. The Shoreview Press enters in the largest division for weekly newspapers.

I want to acknowledge the people in the community behind the scenes of these winning stories. While I did put in a lot of extra research for these articles, these awards are truly community awards. The stories have my byline, but they wouldn’t have been written without people in the community who made them happen.

Story “Shoreview first in northeast metChaser ro to restrict young adult tobacco sales” won first place in the social Sara Marie Moore issues category.

The change to the city’s ordinance d llast M was made May in front of about 30 youth wearing T-shirts promoting the national campaign “Tobacco 21.” Students from Mounds View High School spoke to the City Council about why they wanted it to increase the minimum purchasing age from 18 to 21. They discussed the prevalence of vaping, its detrimental effects on the school and how easy it is to get tobacco products from an 18-year-old friend. One of their leaders, Meghan McFarling, was last year’s National Youth Ambassador for Minnesota with the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids.

The Shoreview Human Rights Commission, Shoreview City Council and city staff spent considerable time above and beyond the usual civic duties to listen to the youth and also to the businesses opposed to the change. In the end, the council voted unanimously to be a voice against youth addiction in the northeast metro. Mayor Sandy Martin noted this should be a state issue but cities play an influential role in gaining the Legislature’s attention.

“Sex buyer ‘john’ has a name” won first place in the investigative reporting category.

I was inspired to do this investigation after listening to a sex trafficking presentation by Ramsey County Attorney John Choi last spring. Choi spoke about the demand from sex buyers that leads to the trafficking of victims.

As I drove back to the office, I thought about what I could do about this issue as a reporter. The Legislature, law enforcement, attorney’s offices and judges have cracked down on the demand in recent years. So I made a public data request to the Minnesota State Court Administrator’s Office for case numbers of trafficking and prostitution-related convictions from the last year in the 7-county metro area. I combed through over 200 case records.

Unfortunately, I found some convicted buyers from Shoreview and the surrounding communities caught during stings. As I read through the criminal complaints at the courthouse, I was inspired by the selfless service of lady law enforcement officers who confronted the buyers.

As with all crime articles, the point wasn’t to shame those caught. The goal was to influence potential buyers away from the crime that has led to the physical and emotional enslavement of hundreds of victims.

I’ve noticed over the years that the Better Newspaper Contest judges aren’t just looking for good writing in the various contest categories. They are looking for compelling articles that speak to the heart of a subject. A reporter can’t make that up.

These awards highlight the amazing things that are happening day in and day out in our community.

Congratulations to everyone for what they do to make it a better place.

Legislature must step up to stop harassment, gender-based violence

’m deeply grateful for the honor of serving the residents of Shoreview, Mounds View, Arden Hills, and Spring Lake Park in the Minnesota House.

This is a responsibility I take seriously, and in my work at the State Capitol, I’m committed to creating opportunities and strengthening the way of life for all families, both in our community and across the state.

I was appointed Legislator to three commitLingo tees for the coming session: JudiKelly Moller ciary, of which I’m vice chair; Public S f t and d Ed Safety; Education Policy.

From these positions, I’ll be able to help shape solutions, and I’ve already introduced legislation doing so for two major issues.

With the emergence of the #metoo movement, it’s become abundantly clear that the status quo is no longer acceptable in workplaces, both in the public and private sector, regarding sexual harassment. Even with a culture change hopefully on the horizon, for many years courts have upheld an unreasonable “severe or pervasive” standard, making workplaces unsafe.

has issued overdue guidelines for every law enforcement agency in the state to develop a protocol on handling sexual assault cases. I am chief author of a bill making this mandatory.

Further, I’m carrying another bill which would create a working group to rewrite our state’s entire criminal sexual conduct law. In my work as a prosecutor, I’ve come across situations in which various loopholes made prosecution of cases in which there was clearly a sexual assault committed extremely difficult. This effort will be a heavy lift, but survivors of gender-based violence deserve to see this step taken.

As we work together to create solutions to these and other issues in our state, I encourage constituents to remain in touch with me. I can be reached by phone at 651-296-0141, email at rep.kelly. moller@house.mn, or on Facebook @RepKellyMoller.

I thank you for the opportunity to serve.

last session, the bill did not pass.

I’m championing a bill to fi x this standard and help ensure victims can find justice.

Last year, the Star Tribune published an eye-opening series highlighting widespread shortcomings within our justice system as it relates to gender-based crimes like sexual assaults. It described many barriers survivors face when reporting these crimes, and some deep flaws within the investigative processes, preventing proper prosecution.

If a report of a sexual assault is going to be made only for it to sit in a folder with no urgency toward an investigation, or a rape kit to be taken only to sit in a closet indefinitely, how can we expect victims to come forward in the future so we can hold bad actors accountable for their crimes?

No matter where they live in Minnesota, all survivors deserve justice. This legislative session, my colleagues and I are committed to enacting overdue improvements. These changes need to be victim-centered in nature, understanding that everyone who reports a crime like this has experienced significant trauma. In the course of an investigation, it’s imperative that they be listened to and believed.

Contributions to society: What will our legacy be?

s our nation remembered the profound contributions Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. made to our society, I reflected on what I can do to make this world a better place.

Two things struck me as I enjoyed the holiday with my children. First, there was a palatable feeling of good will as we visited several different places of business. I noticed smiles, conversations, respect and kindness between people of from diverse backgrounds.

There are still many barriers to overcome in achieving equality and that we need to continue speaking up for things that matter. But as I think back to my youth, I see that we have made progress and I find it encouraging.

The other thing that struck me isn’t positive and may seem unrelated at first mention. In front of each place of business we visited — a theater, restaurant and a trampoline park— there were piles of salt on the sidewalks even though the pavement was dry and there wasn’t a need for any salt. As snow and ice melt off hard surfaces, it runs into storm drains that flow into lakes, streams and wetlands – taking the salt with it. Once the salt is dissolved in water, there is no practical way to get the salt out of the water.

Dr. King famously said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Water is something that matters. When faced with piles of salt everywhere I go, I cannot help but wonder how polluting groundwater, lakes, and rivers with excessive salt is fair— especially to the next generation. I believe, we can do better as a society.

Lawnchair I assume that people not know the harm Gardener do that they are inflicting on our waters. I believe Dawn Pape most people are well intentioned. I believe that the restaurant manager who applies excessive salt to the sidewalk is not aware that chloride concentrations are above the water quality standards in 30 percent of the drinking water wells in the Twin Cities. I believe she was thinking, ‘I’m going to keep our customers safe and show them that I really care by using extra salt.’ I also believe the faith-based institution maintenance worker wasn’t maniacally plotting to pollute the nearby

wetland and to kill the amphibians and fish. But rather, this diligent worker didn’t want any broken hips on his watch.

Here are some ideas on where we can start doing better: • Plow, shovel, scrape, sweep early and often.

• Use the right product for the right pavement temperature (not air) and be sure granules are three inches apart.

• Sweep up (and reuse) excess salt once the pavement is clear of snow and ice.

Let’s face it, we live in a litigious society. Everyone is afraid of getting sued so they spread copious amounts of salt to keep the pavement free of ice.

But there is a way out of this fear. Minnesota could follow in the footsteps of New Hampshire and Illinois by passing legislation that limits liability.

The proposed “Voluntary Salt Applicator Certification Program” legislation, that failed last session, calls for having the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) create a program to certify commercial salt applicators in water-friendly methods. This training program would promote best management practices that use the least amount of salt while ensuring safe

conditions on streets and sidewalks.

Under this law, a certified commercial applicator as well as the owner, occupant or lessee who hired that applicator is not liable for damages or injuries arising from icy or snowy hazards on their premises as long as the snow and ice removal best management practices are followed.

Records detailing the type, rate of application of de-icing materials used, dates, and weather conditions will need to be kept to show that the proper procedures are being taken to ensure safety.

What will our legacy be? Dr. King said, “There comes a time when silence is betrayal.” Will you tell your legislator to support the “Voluntary Salt Applicator Certification Program” legislation and talk to the managers at the places you frequent about their salt practices?

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

North Oaks • A frozen turkey was rescued from a pond in the fi rst block of Deer Lane by an animal control officer on Jan. 8 and transported to to the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for thawing.

Shoreview • A crack pipe was found in a unisex restroom in the 500 block of Cardigan Road the morning of Jan. 10. It remains unclaimed.

• Following a Jan. 10 traffic stop at I-694 and Rice Street for driving after revocation, a 23-year-old St. Paul man was found to be in possession of narcotics. A 23-year-old female passenger was arrested on a Ramsey County felony warrant.

Both occupants were booked into jail and an investigation continues.

• A porch pirate was successful the afternoon of Jan. 10, snatching a package of food valued

at $120 in the 4300 block of Victoria Street. An investigation continues.

• A 48-year-old local man was booked into jail on charges of domestic assault, fi fth-degree assault and disorderly conduct against a 55-year-old woman following a Jan. 10 incident in the 4200 block of Lexington Avenue.

• The driver of a vehicle fleeing from squads in the area of I-694 and Lexington Avenue lost control Jan. 12 and crashed at Highway 10 and I-35W. The occupants, a male and female, attempted to flee but were quickly collared. Both suspects, the driver, a 29-year-old Hastings man, and a 30-yearold female, also from Hastings, were charged with fleeing police. Both suspects were wanted on warrants for their arrest. The case was forwarded to the county attorney for review.

• A 22-year-old local male was scammed out of $1,500 when he attempted to order clothing from someone in California on Jan. 12 via Snapchat.

• A burglar forced his way into an apartment in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue on Jan. 14, making off with $150 in cash.

• The pole holding the severe weather siren in Shamrock Park the 5600 block of Snelling Avenue was damaged on Jan. 14. No suspects.

• A 36-year-old woman was arrested the evening of Jan. 16 at an apartment complex in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue on a domestic assault charge.

The incident occurred when her 52-year-old boyfriend and father of their 5-year-old daughter asked the suspect to clean the cat’s litter box.

“Mom lost it,” according to the victim and their daughter, and attacked Dad, also interrupting his call to 911. Mom, who is currently on probation for a previous domestic-related conviction in March, was arrested and jailed in lieu of $10,000 bail.

• A resident was awakened by a knock on her front door at 3 a.m. Jan. 17 in the 1600 block of Hall Street. Rather than responding to the knock, the resident called 911. A strange male age 59, still at the doorway, was transported to county detox.

• Gift cards from two vehicles went missing from an underground garage in the 3500 block of Owasso Street. One theft occurred after midnight on Jan. 19 and the other just before dawn on Jan. 21. Investigations continue.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Texting citations spike statewide for 6 years Texting and driving citations jumped 30 percent from 2017 to 2018. In 2018, 9,545 tickets were written by law enforcement statewide, according to Minnesota court records. Since 2012, texting citations have more than quadrupled.

“The citation data underscores the significant challenge we have in getting

drivers to pay attention to the task of driving,” said Col. Matt Langer, chief of the Minnesota State Patrol.

“We encourage all drivers to pay attention to the task of driving, which is a full-time job.”

It’s illegal for drivers of all ages to compose, read or send text messages or access the internet while the vehicle is in motion or a part of traffic. That includes

sitting at a stoplight or stop sign. It’s illegal for drivers under age 18 to use a cell phone, whether hand-held or hands-free, except to call 911 in an emergency.

Consequences are $50 plus court fees for a fi rst offense and $275 plus court fees for a second and/or subsequent offense. If you injure or kill someone because of texting and driving, you can face a felony charge of crimi-

nal vehicular operation or homicide.

Preliminary reports show there were at least 27 distraction-related fatalities in 2018, compared with 25 in 2017. More than 300 law enforcement agencies from across the state will conduct extra distracted driving enforcement for three weeks in April.

T RUMAN COMPANY TOP-RATED COIN AND PRECIOUS METAL EXCHANGE M

ore than 40 years in business has given The Truman Company owner Roger Westerling a clear idea of what customers want in a coin and precious metals dealer. Most of all, he says, it’s to be treated fairly.

“I believe in the repeat customer.

If you treat everyone fairly they will come back,” Westerling said. “Doing business in the right and honest way is important. Most of our business is repeat customers. I want to make everyone’s experience pleasant and as stress-free as possible.”

The Truman Company buys gold and silver bullion, old gold and silver jewelry (scrap gold), and other collectables. Their specialty is the coin business. Licensed by the State of Minnesota as a Bullion Coin Dealer, the company is one of the leading rare coin and precious metals dealers in the Twin Cities, often beating the prices of low-cost internet companies.

Personalized service and competitive pricing are the hallmarks of The Truman Company. Taking care of customers and giving them a fair price are values handed down from Westerling’s Uncle Truman, who taught him about the metals and coins business as a young man.

After obtaining his business degree, Westerling spent many years working with some of the finest and most

Some of their more unusual ‘finds?’

“Coins that people have no idea are rare until we tell them. One case comes to mind - they thought they inherited a box of old coins from grandpa. It was able to pay off there student loans.”

- Roger Westerling Owner, Truman Company

Aidan and Roger buying another coin deal with the help of Sonny, the shop dog. prominent dealers in the business before establishing The Truman Company in 2010.

Customers may be local, regional or national. Westerling prefers the local business because he loves interacting with customers.

Often, he says, people come in wanting to buy something tangible thinking that the price will go up.

Sometimes a customer will inherit an item or a whole estate, with no clue what they have. Westerling and his

team go into the home and make a list of every item, with their offer price.

The biggest mistake people make, Westerling said, is to clean an item.

“Do Not Clean,” he emphasized. “It totally destroys the collector value of any coin. Just box them up and bring them to us. We’re happy to sort and itemize and we can do it much faster.”

Westerling and his store manager Aidan Kelly, both love to be in the shop every day, “not knowing what

will walk in the door next.” And of course, Sonny, the labrador retriever, is in the shop every day to greet visitors.

The Truman Company is open weekdays until 6pm, and Saturdays 10am - 2pm, or by appointment.

even in their store. Wherever the celebration, employees had a good time.

When the lunch crowd appeared each day, it was all hands on deck. Norm and Carolyn and their workers had the fi ring line manned and ready. Employees were expected to have their area of work stocked and ready for business.

Once those doors opened and the line began, there were two very familiar people other than the Espersens who manned the tills for many years. During the day, it was Loretta Solem. In the evening, it was Carol Levey.

But they didn’t do it alone.

The 30 or so employees were split up into two shifts that flexed around school and sports schedules. Some employees were family and friends; most were locals. If you worked for the Espersens, you worked hard. Norm’s famous saying was, “If you can lean, you can clean.” The work was fast and furious at times. In the lulls, workers restocked for the next wave.

There was many a DQ employee who went on to bigger and better things and later returned to thank Norm and Carolyn for the workmanship they learned at the ShoreOaks DQ. When you worked for the Espersens, you weren’t just an employee; you became family, so to speak, and were treated as such.

The employees knew how to work hard and treat their

customers well, which was fitting, considering the Dairy Queen slogan, “We Treat You Right.”

All of the Espersen children worked at the DQ at one time or another. Mark, Larry and Bonnie joined in the work the longest. Bonnie mainly made the cakes. Mark and Larry managed in between Norm and Carolyn until Mark and his wife Jodene bought the store in 1990. The store continued to provide strong community support. Many siblings of the original crews also worked at this DQ, and even a few parents of some of the same young people worked there as well.

Shoreview and North Oaks

were close-knit communities that supported the Dairy Queen until Mark sold the store in 2000. A Dairy Queen Grill and Chill is located at the same place today.

Norm and Carolyn continued to visit the Dairy Queen from time to time and loved running into past friends and acquaintances until they passed away.

Editors’ note: Bonnie Morphew (Espersen) is Norm and Carolyn’s daughter, who made the ice cream cakes at the Shore-Oaks Dairy Queen. She wrote this article to thank the Shoreview and North Oaks community for their support of the historical restaurant.

Many of the Espersen children worked at the Dairy Queen over the years years.

Son Mark and his wife Jodene bought the store in 1990 and operated it until 2000.

Life’s a whirl of achievement for Mounds View scholar, skater

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Diana Zhu embraces such a daunting array of academic pursuits you’d think it would make her head spin. Then again, as an accomplished figure skater, she’s comfortable with spinning.

This Mounds View senior, who has a batch of U.S. Figure Skating medals, was recently named to the organization’s Scholastic Honors Team, which honors juniors and seniors for academics, community involvement and skating. The 10 skaters chosen were presented Jan. 21 during the national meet in Detroit.

“Diana is laser-focused,” said Ann Eidson, her longtime coach at St. Paul Figure Skating Club. “In practices, she makes every attempt count. She is accurate 90 to 95 percent of the time in landing her jumps … She is able to form very healthy relationships in working with coaches and teachers.”

Each honoree receives a $2,500 scholarship, along with a $1,000 donation to be made in her honor to a charity or cause of her choosing. Zhu said she designated the funds to 621 Foundation for activities in the Mounds View school district.

Zhu’s community involvement credential is a bit out of the ordinary for a teenager. Working with four other MVHS students, she co-founded Solupal, which makes a shopping bag — nontoxic, dissolvable, 100 percent biodegradable — as an alternative for shoppers to minimize plastic waste.

“We have a functional, available product, and our bag aims to minimize plastic waste in a world where plastic floods the landfi lls, oceans, and our homes,” explained Zhu, whose cohorts are Michael Cao, Amy Helgeson, Lauren Lee, and Vicky Li. “We wanted to do something about it.”

Solupal was named Junior Achievement Company of the Year for the Upper Midwest, she said.

As a figure skater, Zhu won the 2017 Upper Great Lakes Regionals in the Senior level and placed sixth in the Midwest Sectionals. Top four advance to nationals. In 2018, she placed second in Seniors at regionals and seventh at sectionals. Previously, Zhu advanced to nationals in the Intermediates in 2015 and Juveniles in 2014.

In her short program, Zhu skated to Quindon Tarver’s “Everybody’s Free” from the 1996 Romeo and Juliet fi lm soundtrack. For her free skate, her music was Concierto de Aranjuez.

Asked her favorite, signature elements, she said, “I would say my triple loop jump, and my change foot combination spin.” Eidson described Zhu’s soaring triple jumps as showing “a perfect combination of athletic ability and elegance.”

Zhu has been Minnesota champion three times — 2018 Juniors, 2016 Novice, and 2015 Intermediates — and silver medalist in 2017 Juniors and 2014 Juveniles. U.S. Figure Skating also has an open national meet for high schoolers which Zhu has won in Juniors in 2016 and Seniors in 2018.

The Shoreview resident has represented her St. Paul club since 2009 with Eidson and Ben Miller Reisman coaching her. “They’ve not only taught me all of my triple jumps, but they’ve also shaped me into the person I am today,” Zhu said.

As for Zhu’s academic scorecard, here are some highlights: • She’s a National AP Scholar, granted to students with an average score of at least 4 on all AP exams, and 4 or more on eight of them. “By taking 13 AP’s, I qualified for it.”

• She conducted research at Yale last summer

in an astrophysics program in their astronomy department. “I worked with a team of four students, along with Dr. Michael Faison, on modeling the orbits of near-earth asteroids,” explained Zhu, who spent six days at the Ivy League school in New Haven, Connecticut.

• She’s a National Merit Scholarship semifinalist, awarded to the top one-half of one percent of students taking the PSAT. • At the Science Olympiad state competition last March, she won the Thermodyamics and Fermi Questions categories and took second in Dynamic Planet. This is a team event and she helped the Mounds View team place fi rst and earn a trip to Science Olympiad nationals in Fort Collins, Colorado.

• She was selected for the U.S. Earth Science Olympiad, which gave her the opportunity to attend a week-long training camp in Vermont.

Asked when she chills out, or sleeps, she said, “Defi nitely, fitting everything takes a lot of scheduling and time management, and it doesn’t leave much free time.”

When she does have some: “I love to play with my Havanese puppy Kaia, hang out with friends, and catch up on sleep.”

Zhu, whose father and mother are Feng Zhu and Yan Zhuang, has been accepted at Yale but has not yet decided on a college. She plans to major in the “the STEM field,” meaning science, technology, engineering, math.

Golf entrepreneur fills seasonal void with indoor club

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS MANAGING EDITOR

Bradley Wohlers always dreaded winter. It meant golf season was over.

He would drive to a heated outdoor range in Chaska to practice during off season when he played golf for Mahtomedi High School and the University of Wisconsin-Stout, but that was far and inconvenient.

“I always thought someone would build an indoor golf facility on the east side,” Wohlers recalled. “Well, winter 2018 hit and there still was no good option for year-round golf in this area.

That's when I decided to build one myself.”

A year later, he and business partner/girlfriend Laurie Barger are about to open Element Indoor Golf Club in Vadnais Heights.

The co-owners will celebrate their new club with a Jan. 19 grand opening at the facility, 4255 White Bear Pkwy, Suite 2100. They feel the slogan encapsulates what the indoor facility means to Minnesota golfers: “You can be in your element, against all elements.”

The club offers five luxury Golfzon simulators and a large, 3,000-square-foot chipping and putting green.

They knew the space was a perfect fit as soon as they saw it. Down the road from Smarte Carte, the building had everything they were looking for: high ceilings, square footage, open space for putting and the proper zoning to serve food and beverages.

Wohlers played golf for Mahtomedi High School from 2008 to 2010 and currently helps coach the boys team as an assistant. He's not sure when he started playing the sport, but he knows it was before he could tie his shoes.

“I fell in love with golf immediately,” Wohlers said.

It helped that his next-door neighbor growing up was Mark Foley, a golf professional at Manitou Ridge in White Bear Lake. Foley let the youngster hit range balls and play the course for free. He also had a putting green in his basement and let Wohlers practice on it.

When Wohlers turned 15, Foley hired him at Manitou Ridge, where he worked until he was 21. He followed Foley to Keller Golf Club in Maplewood when his mentor got a job there as head golf professional.

“I don't know if I'd be the golfer I am today if not for Mark Foley,” Wohlers maintained. “He provided me access to play and practice on a real golf course at a young age.”

The game is on the rise again after taking a dive a decade ago in the economic downturn, according to Wohlers. “Golf is becoming cool again,” he said. “The big youth movement on the PGA Tour with guys like Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth is helping it make a turn for the better.

“I can't stress enough how much of an impact golf can have on a young person's

life. Golf teaches you determination, focus, patience, emotional self-control and honesty. It motivates you to strengthen your integrity on and off the golf course.”

Wohler's mother Peggy and father Gregg have been ardent supporters, but they were apprehensive at fi rst. “They weren't fully on board,” he said. “I gave up a job with a high-paying salary and unbelievably good benefits to pursue this dream of mine. So giving that up came as a shock to them, but they knew I had a void in my life.”

Peggy said Bradley is passionate about the game of golf and the idea of an upscale indoor golf facility.

“He's been working feverishly for the past year and half to make his dream come true,” she said. Gregg has been the “master painter” in

“THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY” (NR) [NETFLIX ONLY] — When a headstrong British writer (Lily James) leaves her American fiancé (Glen Powell) on the docks in 1946 to head to the island of Guernsey, which was occupied by the Nazis during WWII, to write an article for the publisher (Matthew Goode) of a London-based publication in this poignant 124-minute film based on the 2008 bestselling novel by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer and highlighted by wonderful cinematography, she discovers a fascinating story about the origins of the quirky-named book club as she interviews its members (Penelope Wilton, Tom Courtney, Katherine Parkinson, et al.) and unexpectedly finds herself attracted to handsome farmer (Michael Huisman) who is caring for a young girl (Florence Keen) whose mother (Jessica Brown Findlay) was the founder of the literary society.

Well that was exciting! I love breaking records. Good or bad. It’s not easy getting down to -30º, so when we do it’s big news.

My station and many other backyard thermometers reached -30º or colder on Wednesday, January 30. For the experience of it, I went out and ran when it was -28º; I dressed properly and was plenty comfortable. What’s odd is how good -5º Thursday evening felt. This past weekend, before the fog and mist rolled in on Saturday, my station reached 39º and I was out running in shorts. Maybe I passed you by, because everyone was out.

We’ve made it through the worst and now have the rest of winter to play out.
