Environmental Quality Committee encourages green thumbs in Shoreview Since 2009, the Shoreview Environmental Quality Committee (EQC) has encouraged the residents of Shoreview through its EQC Speaker Series to learn more about how they can take action to help the environment.

“One of the goals of the EQC is to provide educational opportunities to residents on environmental topics,” said Krista Billerbeck, the natural resources coordinator in Shoreview. “The speaker series is

a way to share information on a variety of relevant topics with an emphasis on actions that residents can take themselves.”

The speaker series takes place on various dates that begin in January and end in April. The EQC “committee members pick topics based on current issues and interests,” Billerbeck said.

This year, the series includes presentations on carp in urban waters, recycling, climate change and lawn care. The committee will bring in speakers from the EQC, the Ramsey Washington

Four Mounds View High School students have come together to help people improve their mental health, reduce screen time and strengthen in-person relationships through their new card game, Relataspace.

The Relataspace team consists of sophomores Lennox Tan, Isabella Shi and Sidharth Sharm, along with senior Sorelle Tan. The group is a part of the StartUp Club at Mounds View.

Relataspace is an original card game designed to inspire connection and spark conversation by using real-life situation prompts that are easy for everyone to understand, relate to and bond over. Players choose how they would react to the situation and also guess what others would do in these situations. This format allows people to get to know each other better and have a good laugh over the fun scenarios.

“As high schoolers, we’ve experienced firsthand how much harder it is to make conversation with people now that screens have become a great part of people’s everyday lives.

With this in mind, we decided to make a card game to help engage in conversations by using relatable situations,” says Lennox Tan, the CEO of Relataspace.

“Mounds View High School’s StartUp Club, in collaboration with Junior Achievement (JA) North, ignites the entrepreneurial spirit in high school students, equipping them with vital skills to launch businesses,” said Austin O’Brion, the club’s coach. “With 17 ‘Company of the Year’ awards and eight past MN Cup companies, our program empowers students to create thriving

“We are really excited to participate in the JA North Ignite pitch event, sharing our idea with local community entrepreneurs, and also securing seed money to fund our first product order,” Sorelle Tan said.

“With the customer feedback collected from our initial sales, we’ve made improvements and will be crowdsourcing to fund a bulk order of a new improved version of our Relataspace card game.”

“Businesses have the power to make real impacts on the world’s problems, but it’s up to us to strive and work to achieve that goal,” noted Lennox Tan. “We hope to finally put a dent on the long-lasting, growing issue of mental health and screen usage.”

Relataspace’s Kickstarter campaign lasts through Feb. 28.

The student startup is offering several rewards toward meeting its goal of raising funds for the project. To back the project and get your own copy of the game, you can go to www.kickstarter. com/projects/ relataspace/relataspacethe-relatable-card-game.

spread awareness about how simple acts that anyone can do can have a positive impact on their well-being,” added Sorelle Tan, COO of the startup company.

Lennox Tan said that the team considered other formats, such as an app, that would feature the different question scenarios. It could be updated easily, but the group found that it defeated their purpose of getting people off their devices.

The group of Lennox Tan and Sorelle Tan, Shi and Sharm is one of five student companies that are participating in the Mounds View High School Startup Club through the JA Company Program sponsored by Junior Achievement North, the Twin Cities chapter of Junior Achievement USA. Startup teams like Relataspace spend all year preparing for competitions at their local JA chapters across the country to win Company of the Year in their region. The top 15 teams then go on to attend the JA National Student Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C. in June. The teams will have an opportunity to pitch their business to members of Congress and compete for the

guessed that the average American, every day, spends seven hours looking at a screen,” says Lennox Tan. “Teens are also on social media alone for 3 1/2 hours per day—causing serious, unignorable effects on mental health. We need to take action,” Tan added.

Lifestyles have changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The use of screens skyrocketed, and social isolation accelerated. These trends have caused people to experience depression and loneliness.

“We wanted to create a card game from the very start, because it’s portable and easy to transport,” said Lennox Tan. This allows people to bring it with them to play with friends wherever they go. “A card game is also easy to design and modify for future iterations as well as easy to manufacture at a relatively low-cost point.”

The team of students is seeking to rekindle in-person activities and conversations to help reverse these trends by creating an engaging game that will hopefully result in meaningful responses. The game will utilize creative content that differentiates itself by having multiple choice

In this after-school extracurricular activity, students form groups and start companies that solve a problem or fill a need in their community while learning the fundamentals of business from mentor and coach O’Brion, a local entrepreneur and volunteer with JA North. The club is also supervised by Mounds View teacher Philip Schut.

These student startups develop minimum viable products, conduct market research surveys and manage their own finances, culminating in a company business plan which they present at various business competitions throughout the year.

While researching a problem to solve as part of the startup process, the group discovered connections between increased screen use, especially on social media, with mental health challenges and diminishing social connections beyond the screen. These two factors play a large role when it comes to overall health and well-being.

FEBRUARY 13, 2024

Goodbye gramps

I’

m right in the middle of grieving the loss of my soul dog Frosty and now I have to grieve my grandpa, or as I call him “gramps.” I can’t believe he is really gone. I honestly thought my grandpa would live forever. He always seemed pretty healthy, and he was very active in his retirement years.

Perhaps that’s why this loss seems so unexpected.

My grandpa, James (Jim) Zimmerman, was in what I thought was the early stages of two different kinds of dementia — vascular and Lewy body dementia. It seemed to go downhill very quickly and all happened so fast. He went to the emergency room for broken ribs and was sent to a transitional home to recover. Little did we know, he would Shannon’s never leave.

When I went to see him the day Shenanigans before he passed away, I kept praying I would get to have a conversation with Shannon him and he would get to hold his great Granholm grandson, my son Royce, just one more time. He never opened his eyes. His body was barely hanging on. I think he was already gone. The very next day I got a call when I was just 15 minutes away that my grandpa had taken his last breath.

All of my best childhood memories are thanks to my grandpa. I remember him blowing raspberries on my belly. I remember him taking me on my first (of many) airplane rides in a plane he built with his own hands. I remember him taking me to see the “hayburners.”

I remember sitting on his lap while he taught me how to drive a tractor and eventually a truck. I remember going to car shows with him, eating mini donuts and getting my first ride in a rumble seat.

I remember the many trips to the Washington County Fair and visits to Nelson’s Ice Cream in Stillwater. I remember working with him in his shop to help build various things out of wood.

Growing up I was a bit obsessed with stuffed animals. One time, my grandpa and I went to a garage sale that had a bunch of stuffed animals for sale and he asked the lady, “How much do you want for all of them?” My mom was mortified when I came home with a giant trash bag full of stuffed animals to add to my collection. Just what I needed.

I remember spending MANY weekends at my grandparents’ home. I always wanted to go over there, and I would even bring my friends too.

My grandpa was always there for me. I don’t think there was a band concert or ice skating show he missed.

My grandpa taught me to put peanut butter (and bananas) on my pancakes and to always go back for that second Snickerdoodle cookie. He taught me to say “yes” to adventures and to appreciate classic cars.

I will forever cherish all the memories we created and the lessons he taught me. I hope wherever you are, gramps, you are driving around in your 1955 Chevy pickup or flying your plane. Please say hi to my dad and Frosty for me.

Shannon Granholm is the Managing Editor at Press Publications.

What is your favorite romcom?

A

t the age of about 16 or 17, my mother gave me the title of a “hopeless romantic” and would always tell me that I love, love. In light of Valentine’s Day, I thought I would talk about my newfound love for romantic comedies and romance in general.

I never understood Madeline’s why my mom gave me the Mail nickname.

Maybe it was Madeline because by Dolby the time I was a freshman in high school, I had my engagement ring picked out (it’s from Tiffany & Co.), my wedding season (fall) and my bridal party. Or maybe it was because I only read romance books and watched romance movies till my eyes burned.

At the age of 16, I realized that love was not as shown in the movies. It wasn’t “love at first sight” and the boy didn’t show up at the girl’s front door with flowers and a mixtape filled with songs that reminded him of her. Love kind of sucked but I

was also a teenage girl with her emotions on overdrive, making me a bit dramatic.

I stopped watching so many romance movies. I stopped watching them entirely because of how unrealistic they were.

They were giving me false hope and as a hopeless romantic I wanted my love life to reflect a romantic comedy down to the exact detail.

Things have changed since I was 16, and 18, and even 20. One of my college friends reintroduced me to romantic comedies just last year, and I became obsessed. Out of all the romcoms we watched, my favorite was “Maid of Honor.”

If you haven’t watched it yet, I highly recommend it. My alltime favorite romantic comedy is “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” with Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. It also is my mom’s favorite. We watch it a lot together and even quote it to one another if the conversation allows. I have probably watched that film over 20 times, it never gets old.

My second favorite romance movie is “Emma” from 2020.

I just watched it a few weeks ago and was crying over my popcorn at the end. For some reason, it resonates the most with me because it seems the most realistic. Emma, the main

character, and Mr. Knightley don’t realize they are in love with one another till they dance together. When both figure out their feelings for one another, their reactions are realisticdisbelief and denial in Emma’s case.

During the holiday season, I love to watch “When Harry Met Sally.” Again, another classic that leaves you feeling warm and fuzzy inside. It is about two people who keep meeting at different points in their lives.

Eventually, they stay in contact and slowly fall in love over time.

There are complications but, in the end, they realize their differences are what makes them good together. It’s almost as good as “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” but I don’t think any movie will top that one.

Even when I don’t want to admit it, I am a hopeless romantic at heart. I love everything romance. So, this Valentine’s Day, no matter how you spend it, I hope it looks like something from your favorite romantic comedy.

BUSINESS BRIEFS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR These letters were all very interesting, and I welcome the public debate. However, these letters seem to be counterarguments against arguments that I have not made and skirt the question I posed. That question is, “Could Shoreview residents get the same or better garbage service at a lower price and remove a few trucks from our neighborhoods at the same time?” If the answer is yes, it is an idea worth pursuing.

Instead, the letters suggest that having the city negotiate service on our behalf will lead to the end of free enterprise and perhaps a slippery slope to authoritarianism. There are a lot of freedoms we enjoy in America that I will defend, but having the choice to pay more for garbage service because individual households don’t have that much purchasing power isn’t one of them.

An additional point: Did you know that all garbage collected in Shoreview goes to the same place? Ramsey and Washington counties own a facility in Newport that processes the waste.

(It’s a great place to tour, by the way.)

Yet, we have multiple garbage haulers picking up garbage on our streets. How silly.

Park safety measures in Shoreview

When it comes to safety around the new playground development, there is almost none. On Victoria Street, where both sides of the street are packed with cars, there is no safety. While there is a crosswalk from the Community Center parking lot, that does not help out the street parking on Victoria.

Either parking on the road should be restricted, or there needs to be better safety measures. While driving through the crowd of cars, there is no way to see if a small child is going to come running out from around a car or across the street. I say that we need to create entrances to it through the trails and sidewalks. It should be less open and give people the ability to walk across Victoria anywhere to get into the park. Funnel them into a safer spot to cross the street. There is a sidewalk there, and we need to use it.

Tommy Asch Shoreview

Response on organized garbage collection

There have been four letters in recent editions opposed to organized collection of garbage collection in Shoreview, including three responding to my letter advocating for the merits of this policy.

Press photographer Paul Dols earned a third place Minnesota Newspaper Award for a feature photo of high school rodeo trick rider Candace Aamot.

Press Publications is the recipient of three awards from the Minnesota Newspaper Association (MNA) in its 2022-23 Better Newspaper Contest.

More than 4,000 entries from hundreds of publications throughout Minnesota were judged by judges in South Dakota, North Carolina and New Jersey.

Noelle Olson, former editor of the Shoreview Press and the White Bear Press, took home two awards in the human interest – news feature category.

She received third place for the article, “Mayor Martin reflects on the city she loves, prepares for retirement,” which was published in the Shoreview Press.

The judges commented, “Readers who kept going over three jumps were treated to an interesting history lesson about the town’s mayor.”

She received second place for her article, “Couple shares story on officer’s road to recovery after shooting,” which was published in the White Bear Press.

The judges commented, “Good stories are good stories, but they are great stories when they are told well. This one is. Excellent work.”

Press photographer Paul Dols earned third place for a feature photo that was published in The Citizen. Judges said, “This is a really nice peak action shot from an event. The moment and light come together to make a strong image.”

Human Rights Commission poster winners receive recognition

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

Every year, the Shoreview Human Rights Commission sponsors a poster contest titled “One Community of Many Colors.” The art contest is for fourth graders in the Mounds View Area School District in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The Human Rights Commission advises and aids the City of Shoreview by establishing and promoting a community standard of equal opportunity and freedom from discrimination. The responsibilities of the commission include developing educational programs, coordinating efforts with neighboring human rights commissions, advising and recommending items related to human relations and civil rights problems, and providing direction and support to people or organizations on civil or human rights.

This year was the 31st year of the “One Community of Many Colors” poster competition.

The third-place winner was Pranjali Verma from Island Lake School. Receiving second place was Penny Lindberg of Emmet D. Williams. First place went to Bailey Hanson from Turtle Lake School.

“Each student is asked to create a poster that includes people of different races or cultures engaged in a positive activity,” said Julie B. Williams, co-chair of the Human Rights Commission. “The purpose of the contest is to encourage young people to interact more freely and comfortably with those whom they view as different from themselves,” and to experience the value of diversity, she noted.

The poster contest participants were recognized at the council meeting by Mayor Sue Denkinger, the Shoreview City Council and the Human Rights Commission.

The contest is open to all local elementary schools that serve Shoreview residents. Teachers are encouraged to teach a segment on human rights history in conjunction with the poster contest.

This year, five schools participated in the contest: Turtle Lake, Emmet D. Williams, Island Lake, St. Odilia’s and Oak Hill Montessori. Williams said that the commission received a grand total of 256 posters.

The commission reviews all the posters in one evening and chooses 20 winners. There are 10 honorable mentions and 10 posters ranked tenth through first.

“The posters are judged on their expression of the theme, clarity of the message, the quality of the art and the usage of the paper area,” Williams mentioned.

“When we are judging these posters, we are not aware

of the artist’s names, nationality, gender or school. That information is on the back of the poster.”

Last week, winners were announced in school assemblies, and prizes were distributed.

William said that this was an art contest, and the community is drawn to things that catch their eye and are not repeated.

The next Shoreview City Council meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20, in council chambers.

•T he Northeast Youth and Family Services’ Angela Lewis-Dmello, president and CEO, provided the organization’s annual update. NYFS serves 16 communities in the North Metro area and provides services for mental health.

The organization focuses on ensuring access and reducing financial, linguistic, cultural and logistical barriers to care. There are two main departments within the organization. The first is its mental health services department, which has three programs available to the community: clinic-based mental health, school-based mental health and adolescent day treatment. Services are provided to four different school districts: Mounds View, White Bear Lake, Roseville and St. Anthony in New Brighton. It also offers community service programs. These programs include youth diversion, community connections and community advocacy.

Last year, NYFS had 11,630 total appointments. Of those appointments, 698 were with community advocacy clients, 628 were with diversion clients and 601 were assessments for mental health services.

Years of organizing led to meaningful investments for Minnesota residents and evidence-based policy

John Marty District 40

Phone: 651-296-5645 Email: sen.john.marty@ senate.mn The 2023 Legislature was very productive in responding to Minnesota’s needs and challenges, but there is still much work to be done. The 2024 session is not a budget setting year so most action will relate to policy, not budget.

As chair of the Senate Finance Committee my top priority is to keep the state budget in balance, and ensure that long-term impacts are considered for any legislation.

Kelly Moller District 40A

Phone: 651-296-0141.

Emai: rep.kelly.moller@house. mn.gov In 2023, the Legislature enacted one of the most transformational budgets and productive sessions in state history. While we’re excited about the investments we’re making in the people of Minnesota, there’s so much more we must address, like tackling the rising costs of child care, health care, housing, and more.

Patti Anderson District 33A

Phone: 651-296-3018 Email: rep.patti.anderson@ house.mn.gov When the legislature reconvenes on Feb. 12, there will be a lot of work that needs to be done to secure the future of our state. Last session, the state held a historic $17.5 billion surplus. Democrats not only spent all of it, but also raised taxes by $10 billion as they pushed spending even higher. Your hard-earned tax dollars grew our state government by an astonishing 40%. Family

improvements last year, but the work is not over yet. In the 2024 session, my top priorities will be addressing safety in our communities through authoring a bill regarding the safe storage of firearms and continuing to work towards a more equitable, functional justice system.

Implementing comprehensive gun safety measures is crucial to ensure the safety and well-being of our community. District residents have felt the impacts of gun violence first-hand, and promoting responsible gun ownership is one tool we can use to address this epidemic. Firearms are the leading cause of death of children in the United States and we must do what we can to keep kids safe. As a gun owner myself, I understand the importance of safe firearm storage

and will be carrying legislation this year to help prevent more tragedies from occurring.

During my time as Chair of the Judiciary Finance and Civil Law committee, I have worked to pass legislation to reform our justice system. Last session, I worked with my colleagues in both parties to secure significant investments in civil legal services, public defense, and improving public access to court records.

In 2024, I will continue to work on changes that address systemic inequities in the courts and justice system.

The 2024 session is my last year in office, and I will be sure to continue doing the work that I was elected to do by the residents of District 40B. As always, please reach out to my office with any comments or questions about legislative issues.

Among my top priorities is action to address gun violence in Minnesota. Parents should not need to worry about school shootings when they send their kids to school each day. News reports of armed carjackings and gun violence should not be routine, almost daily occurrences. I have introduced comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation including a bill to ban the sale of assault rifles and one to prohibit carrying guns at the capitol.

To improve public safety, we need to do a better job at treating mental health and addiction problems rather than handling them as criminal matters. I intend to push for legislation that would make treatment courts available across the state. The Minnesota Judicial Branch says that treatment courts are the most successful intervention in our nation’s history for leading people with substance use and mental

health disorders out of the justice system and into lives of recovery and stability. The courts point out that treatment courts improve public safety and save taxpayer dollars.

In addition, I have legislation aimed at promoting humane treatment of animals and preventing animal cruelty. There are close ties between animal cruelty and violence against people, and this is an important initiative.

Finally, the climate crisis is becoming ever more urgent, and we need to address the issue now, for the sake of our children and grandchildren. I am pushing legislation to establish a state strategy to transition to a 100% renewable energy future by 2040.

I am honored to have the opportunity to serve you in the Senate. Please let me know of your ideas and concerns.

This session, I’ll continue partnering with our county, cities, and community members to gain input on issues important to our district. For example, I am working on legislation to help fund infrastructure for the Rice Creek Commons, which will be a cohesive mix of residential and commercial neighborhoods surrounding a town center. This unique community will provide housing and jobs for hundreds. I’m also working on several constituent-led initiatives in the following areas: disability services, homeowner associations, and employment.

As the chair of the House Public Safety Committee, I’m committed to building on the work we accomplished to require criminal background checks on firearm purchases and establishing extreme risk protection orders to curb gun violence and suicides. Minnesota needs to improve its safe storage law to ensure that

children and others who are prohibited from possessing guns cannot easily access them. I’ll also work on survivor-centered bills that protect privacy and improve survivor services.

I’ll continue my work on a consumer-protection bill that I drafted based on the frustration people have had obtaining tickets to popular events such as the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My legislation requires up-front disclosure of the total ticket cost, prohibits certain behavior by companies that re-sell tickets, and eliminates deceptive practices used to trick consumers.

As always, please don’t hesitate to reach out with input, questions, or ideas. If you need help with a state agency, we may be able to help you. We have amazing staff, and we are glad to assist you. Our neighbors in Arden Hills, Mounds View, New Brighton and Shoreview help drive my work for all of us in District 40A.

budgets are already stretched thin by the rising cost of living, and now life is becoming even more expensive as these additional tax hikes begin to take effect.

In December, a new state budget forecast was released predicting a deficit in the 2025-2026 biennium.

Republicans warned last session that the Majority’s out-of-control spending spree was unsustainable. We either rein in spending now or we will be debating further tax increases to pay for all these new programs.

My top priority next session will be supporting family budgets. This means rolling back that 40% increase in spending, and looking for ways to provide permanent, meaningful tax relief for Minnesotans.

I will continue to push for a full exemption of social security earnings and a repeal of the new housing and transit sales tax.

I will also continue to focus on meeting the critical needs of our community. The second year of the biennium is typically a bonding year. Governor Walz recently released a nearly $1 billion bonding proposal, but there are few details on how much will be designated to local projects. We must ensure that our local infrastructure needs are prioritized in the final bonding bill.

Minnesotans want to see the state acting as a good steward of their tax dollars. They want to see more of their money going towards fixing roads and bridges in their community. They also want to see less wasteful government spending, like the extravagant $730 million renovation and expansion of the State Office Building to create a palace for politicians. We can meet the needs of our communities while still supporting family budgets. I look forward to addressing these issues next session.

Instead of spending $730 Million dollars on luxury office buildings for politicians, it’s time the democrat majority sets aside their wish-list luxuries and prioritizes the financial security of Minnesota residents. This session, I’ll continue to advocate for policies that put more money in your pocket and put a stop to government greed.

Restore excellence to Minnesota’s education Our public schools were promised historic funding prior to the 2022 election, yet they are now facing budgetary challenges due to state mandates imposed by the legislature last session. It will be my priority to support and author legislation that funds Teachers and Students within our local school classrooms instead of the bureaucratic boardrooms within MDE’s building in St. Paul. This session, I’ll be focusing on proposing legislation that helps address Minnesota’s reading and math proficiency

shortfalls, our state’s widening achievement gap, COVID learning loss, and rising threats to the safety of students and teachers occurring within our schools.

End the violent crime epidemic Every Minnesotan deserves to live in a safe community. With three straight years of recordsetting violent crime, more must be done to ensure Minnesotans are protected from unchecked violence. I’ll be introducing and supporting legislation to end the revolving-door of crime enabled by activism from prosecutors and judges who purposefully fail to enforce state law. I’ll also be working on legislation that provides mental health supports for first responders, assists local units of government in recruiting public safety officers through state bonus incentives, and reforms our juvenile crime rehabilitation methods.

Since 2024 is a bonding year, that will be the main focus of session. Because of that, there are two key priorities I’d like to see the legislature focus on: addressing the deficit in a fiscally responsible way, and prioritizing local-level bonding projects.

think we don’t have much left to accomplish — but I do.

Our two-year budget focuses on investments that impact every community and brighten the future for every household. In this non-budget year, we turn our attention to detailed policy work on issues that are narrow, but no less important. To start, I’ll bring forward legislation that cuts the red tape holding back our veterans from obtaining the services and tax credits they’ve earned. The proposal will slash property taxes for veterans with disabilities and waive unnecessary fees.

I’ll also introduce a comprehensive Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault response bill aimed at establishing a statewide coordinator for sexual assault nurse examiners, as well as a task force to consider potential improvements to state law. With a lack of hospitals in Greater Minnesota, many survivors are

forced to drive hours for an examination, and right after the most traumatic experience of their life. We can’t accept that.

Finally, I plan to offer a tax credit that guarantees a minimum salary for every public school teacher in Minnesota. Our educators sacrifice so much to make sure our children have a bright future, and it’s time to pay them what they deserve.

With Governor Walz’s $982 million infrastructure proposal on the table, I will fight like hell to make sure our communities get their fair share. I’m already working closely with city and county officials to make sure that our local needs are taken seriously and reflected in the final capital investment bill.

It’s an honor to serve our community, and I invite you to share your thoughts with me. Send me an email.

The November Forecast was released at the end of last year and it confirmed that Minnesota is barreling towards a deficit. Heading into 2023, our state had a historic surplus, and now we find ourselves on the opposite side of that. Democrats spent much of last session funding their projects in unsustainable ways. Because of that, we’re seeing the costs of these projects increasing above what Minnesotans were promised. We are already living in a high-tax state, and under no circumstances should we make Minnesota families foot the bill for bad budgeting.

Instead, I’d like to see us revisit certain projects to ensure we are prioritizing taxpayer dollars in the best and most responsible way possible.

Since it’s a bonding year, many communities will be vying for support from the legislature.

These years typically allow us to focus on smaller projects that address local needs throughout the

state. I’d like to see funding focused on key projects that address everyday necessities for Minnesotans such as crumbling roads and failing wastewater systems. We also passed bonding legislation last year, which included numerous investments throughout the state. Because of the bonding projects we’ve funded throughout the last few years, I’m hopeful that means we can rein in the spending a bit more for the upcoming session. Some of these smaller communities have also felt overlooked in previous years, and they are looking to us for guidance and assistance – I’m hopeful we can come together to address those various needs.

We have a lot of work ahead of us this year, but I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to come together to address infrastructure concerns, make needed investments, and address the deficit.

last session, which increased the size of our state government by nearly 39%.

I also look forward to continuing the work on Highway 65. Last year I championed a bill that provided critical funding needed to ease congestion and improve safety along the highway. Though the initial project is now fully funded, there will still be more work to do in the future, specifically the Bunker Lake Boulevard intersection. I plan to continue those conversations with local elected officials and stakeholders.

Another topic we must address is the tax burden families are facing. Minnesota is an incredibly high-tax state, and with a looming deficit, there’s substantial fear that this will only worsen with time. That means we need to come up with innovative ways to make life more affordable. One place we can start is by lowering the financial burden of childcare. Having 3 kids myself,

I understand how these costs can strain a family’s budget. We must address this issue in a sustainable way that helps families, allows for access to high-quality childcare, and supports in-home daycare providers.

I also plan to advocate for charitable gaming and e-tabs. Due to legislation passed last year, charities that utilize e-pull tabs must alter their games, which may significantly reduce their much-needed revenue. We need to support our charities and make sure they can continue generating the revenue necessary for them to fulfill their important missions in our communities.

Finally, my goal is to pass a sports betting bill that does not exclude and discriminate against our horse racing tracks.

It’s clear that we have a lot of work to get done in 2024.

Though the needs throughout the state are high, I plan to work diligently to support the needs of my district.

Mental health among young people is a concern I hear about frequently. A local resident in our district brought an idea to me to make sure students can participate in tele-mental health appointments at school. I wrote a bill, and he and I are teaming up to try to get it passed into law in 2024.

I continue to hear concerns about crime, especially crime by young people. I started my career almost two decades ago successfully reducing crime committed by teenagers here in the North Metro. So I’ve been going back to my roots working with law enforcement, community leaders, and youth to explore what we can do. We’ve found some approaches that are already producing great results at a small scale to prevent crime by young people. I’m writing a bill for 2024 to surge resources to these strategies to scale them up to drive crime rates down.

I also continue to hear concerns from manufactured home park residents in our district about high rent increases. I’m working on two bills for 2024 to help.

The first bill aims to protect manufactured home park residents from unreasonable increases in their rent. The second bill will make it easier for residents who want to buy their parks to form co-ops to give them control to set their own rent and rules.

I’ve heard from small businesses who are worried about the impact of inflation and the cost of new programs. Very small, people-intensive businesses, like a local coffee shop, have a harder time adjusting to these costs. So, I’ve been working with the business community, including right here in our district, on a bill for 2024 that will target some tax cuts toward these businesses to help with their finances.

ensure every dollar we invest in Veterans health, healing, reintegration, and restoration is achieving the maximum effectiveness for those that have served.

As a member of the Metropolitan Governance Task Force, we have a rare opportunity to recommend constructive changes to the Met Council. The Met Council struggles with transparency, accountability and Minnesotans’ trust. We need an effective metro planning organization that is accountable, fiscally responsible, credible, transparent, collaborative, non-partisan, future-focused, and effective. This is an achievable bi-partisan goal.

We must also find new and creative ways to provide economic relief for family budgets as they continue to be stretched thin by the rapidly rising cost of living. All of us are feeling the impacts of the failed fiscal policies we’ve seen in St. Paul—including higher grocery costs, more expensive energy bills, and much more.

Minnesota is becoming unaffordable, and it’s clearer than ever that Minnesota needs a change in direction.

Remember, last year Minnesota had a historic $17.5 billion budget surplus and with it, the chance to give you much-needed tax relief. This relief would have meant more money in your family budget to help address the rising costs of living. Instead, Democrats spent the entire $17.5 billion surplus on growing the size of government, not growing your family’s budget.

They failed to provide meaningful tax relief, breaking campaign promises like ending the tax on social security for all Minnesotans, and instead raised more taxes by nearly $10 billion.

Now all of us are paying the price. The November budget forecast at the end of last year projected a deficit for the 2025-2026 biennium. We need to rein in government spending to secure Minnesota’s economic future.

Utilities, Environment, and Climate Committee, I will continue to advocate and prioritize legislation that increases investments in renewable energy, supports eco-friendly projects in our schools, and addresses the effects of climate change.

As a member of the Senate Capital Investment Committee, I’m eager to address bonding project proposals, including ones that will have the most impact on my constituents. I believe in building together, so investing in my district’s infrastructure is a high priority of mine going into the next legislative session.

I will continue to advocate for housing and homelessness protections on behalf of my district. This includes continuing to advocate for programming for first time homebuyers, closing the racial homeownership gap, increasing affordable housing access and eradicating homelessness.

I’m looking for to continuing my advocacy at the capitol and working in tandem with my constituents to prioritize issues that are of the upmost importance to my communities.

Why do we have fish fries during Lent?

For Christians, Lent is a season of solemnity, where people practice self-denial and atonement. Lent is the period leading up to Easter when Christians commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

So how do all-you-caneat fish fries at local restaurants, Legions and VFWs and churches fit into it?

Traditionally, a fish fry is strongly associated with the Roman Catholic community, but churches and organizations of all denominations—or none— have participated.

The ritual of fasting during the Lenten season dates to the first century CE. The practice has changed quite a bit over the centuries. It originally started as a fast and was eventually established as a 40-day abstinence from the meat of warmblooded animals. This form of penance was meant to recognize the suffering and forbearance of Christ’s 40 days in the desert while he was tested by the devil.

This year’s Lenten season will begin Feb. 14 and last until March 28.

Fish fries are also a way to celebrate Midwestern roots since many places in Minnesota and Wisconsin were settled by German and Polish Catholics who did not typically eat meat on Fridays. Proximity to freshwater lakes means that a fish fry might feature fresh walleye, bass, perch, bluegill or even catfish, in addition to a more widespread choice, such as cod and tilapia.

Press Publications has compiled a list of fish fries in the northeast metro where you can find your own Lenten meal, religious or not. Many local restaurants also offer fish fry meals at this time of year.

Among the Mustangs, two girls qualified individually — including section champion Linnea Ousdigian — and the boys placed runner-up to qualify as a team.

Ousdigian, a freshman, won the meet in 34:25, by a margin of 2:08 over runner-up Norah Hushagen of Forest Lake, in action on artificial snow at Battle Creek Regional Park in St. Paul last Wednesday, Feb. 7.

The freshman led the Mustangs to a third-place overall finish. Margot Derosier, a junior, was 10th in 39:49, and will join Ousidigian at the state meet. Claire Sabby was 13th in 41:42, Maya Surve placed 26th in 46:14 and Kenna Karel finished in 27th in the time of 46:14.

Leading the Mustang boys was junior Owen Kalmes, placing third in 30:42. In the team’s top five were Levi Hammerbeck, 12th in 33:25; Miles Smith, 18th in 35:52; Jackson Ashbach,
