Mounds View alumna reaches for the stars Lands Brooke Owens Fellowship

BY NOELLE OLSON EDITOR

Sydney Menne has been selected as a 2022 Brooke Owens Fellow. She is heading to Long Beach, California, this summer for a 12-week summer internship program that pairs students with experts in the aerospace industry.

“When I got the phone call that I was selected as a fellow, it felt like a dream coming true. It was like the gates to my whole future

were opening and all of the goals and dreams I have were suddenly being reached,” Menne said. “Everything I had worked so hard to achieve was coming true, and it felt overwhelming — but in an incredible way.”

Menne, a 2019 graduate of Mounds View High School and a junior at the University of North Dakota (UND), is majoring in both mathematics and physics, with a focus in astrophysics.

As a Brooke Owens fellow,

Menne will be matched with two mentors this summer — a past fellowship recipient and a leader in the aerospace industry.

The fellowship will also fly Menne to Washington, D.C., for the Brookie Summit, where she will learn about the aerospace industry and meet some prominent people in the field.

“This summer, I will be working at the Virgin Orbit facility in

When the Shoreview City Council honors winners of the Human Rights Commission (HRC) annual poster contest, it’s usually standing room only in council chambers.

But a winter storm and COVID-19 kept the room nearly empty at the Feb. 22 City Council meeting.

“Every year, prior to COVID, this was one of the best-attended council meetings,” HRC’s longtime member Julie B. Williams said. “Over the years, many council members have told me that this is their favorite meeting.”

The One Community of Many Colors art contest for fourth graders was established in 1994 in recognition of Martin Luther King Day. “Students are asked to create a poster that includes people of different races and cultures engaged in positive activity,” Williams said. “The purpose of this 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.”

This year, five schools participated: Emmet D. Williams, Turtle Lake Elementary, Island Lake Elementary, St. Odilia School and Oak Hill Montessori.

“We had a grand total of 259 posters,” Williams said. “We actually review all of the posters and then have the difficult task of picking out 20 winners — fi rst through tenth place, and 10 honorable mentions.”

The King of Cakes: A history of Mardi Gras’ oldest pastry It isn’t a party without cake and Mardi Gras’ king cake manages to outshine ordinary cakes. This purple, yellow and green cake often has a glossy sheen and a lucky plastic baby baked inside.

While these cake ingredients may sound a little over the top, there is a long history of how this colorful cake came to be.

Traditionally, the first day to eat king cake is Jan 6, which is known as the first day of Epiphany for Christians.

Epiphany marks the day the three wise men or kings came to visit Jesus after his birth, so the name “king” cake is a reference to the famous three kings.

However, it is likely that a similar pagan celebration occurred throughout the Roman Empire called Saturnalia, which celebrated the god of agriculture.

During the celebration, cakes were of-

ten made with a bean baked inside and the person who received the slice of cake with the bean baked inside would be crowned “king for the day.” The tradition became Christianized, which is why today there’s a plastic baby baked inside the cake to represent baby Jesus.

SYDNEY MENNE: Sets her heart on becoming a rocket scientist FROM PAGE 1

Long Beach and I will be a propulsion engineer for their LauncherOne rocket,” she said. “This means I will be working on the RP-1/LOX liquid rocket engines and the interfaces between propulsion system, the engine and the airplane.” RP-1 is a highly refined kerosene used with liquid oxygen as rocket propellant.

“Virgin Orbit launches its LauncherOne rockets from the wing of a 747 aircraft known as Cosmic Girl,” she added.

Menne explained that she has been involved with research in physics since her fi rst semester at UND. She assisted a professor with research in astrophysics and has done much independent research in astrophysics, particle physics and, more reSydney Menne cently, nuclear physics.

She has also done research through a NASA Summer Research Fellowship, examining stellar and supernovae data from various catalogs.

Menne said her involvement with the UND Advanced Rocketry Team sparked her interest in rocketry. She is now an officer for the team, which competes annually in the NASA Student Launch competition.

“I’ve always loved science and math, especially the good challenge that can come with it, and being around planes my whole life, I knew that the aerospace industry was fascinating to me and I wanted to be more involved with it,” she said.

Menne said she went to UND for its commercial aviation program and got her pilot’s license at the Anoka County Blaine airport before attending college.

“Once I was in my commercial aviation classes at UND, I found myself missing the problem-solving that went into more science- and mathheavy fields, which I was not getting in my aerospace classes,” she said.

Menne recalled that her high school biology teacher, Mark Johnson, recognized that she liked math and science and encouraged her to take physics her junior year.

“I loved it, and because of that, I was able to take an additional, more advanced physics class my senior year.

It was by far my favorite class I had ever taken,” Menne said.

Her high school physics teacher, Jacob Hairrell, expanded her interest in physics.

“Mr. Hairrell was the reason I knew I was interested in physics going into college, and the reason I took two introductory classes. He would always tell me about the cool things you could do with a degree in physics, and he made the class super interesting and fun,” Menne said.

She is now a busy college student and is involved in many activities.

Sydney Menne loves to fly vintage airplanes, like these.

She presently serves or has served as: • NASA STEM Ambassador through the North Dakota NASA Space Grant Consortium.

• Treasurer for the Advanced Rocketry Club.

• Secretary for the Big Event — a student organization where members volunteer in the community and organize the biggest community service day in the region every year.

• Vice-president of the Honors Program Student Organization.

• Founder and president of the UND Nordic ski club.

Menne also volunteers at Stable Days Youth Ranch in East Grand Forks, North Dakota.

“It’s a local nonprofit ranch, and I help out weekly with the barn chores, most of which consist of working with the horses, and I love horseback riding,” she said. “Before coming to North Dakota, I would go much more frequently, and I did hunter-jumpers.

Now, I’m glad to have found a local place where I can still be around hors-

es and occasionally ride, too.”

Menne also loves cross-country skiing, which is the reason why she started the Nordic Ski Club at UND. “I raced in high school, but now mostly just do it for fun with occasional community races,” she said.

Menne also enjoys hiking. For the past two years, she has taken road trips during spring break with her friends, and hiked at more than a dozen national parks.

Menn’s mother, Linda Menne, of Shoreview, explained that when her daughter told her about the Brooke Owens Fellowship, she didn’t know what it really meant.

When Linda found out that more than 1,000 students — many from Ivy League schools and top research institutions worldwide — applied for the fellowship and only 51 were chosen for the 12-week internship, she realized how amazing this is for her daughter.

“I don’t know how she has all this time to do everything she does, but Sydney has just blown me away with

the accomplishments she has made,” Linda said. “I’m very proud of her, and can’t wait to see where her path ends up in life.”

After she graduates from UND, Menne plans to go to graduate school to get her Ph.D. studying either aerospace engineering or nuclear physics.

She said she is honored to be selected as a Brooke Owens Fellow and hopes it will help with her future aspirations.

“I would love to work in the aerospace industry, doing research or work as an engineer. I love planes, but rocketry and space fascinate me too,” Menne said. “I guess the best way to put it is that one day, I’d like to be a real ‘rocket scientist,’ and I guess that day is coming closer than I could have ever dreamed, thanks to my internship this summer.”

MoundsView City Council finds petition insufficient

By Noelle Olson Editor

The Mounds View City Council held a special City Council meeting regarding a petition from residents who took legal action against the city because the petition was found insufficient on Feb. 4.

The petition is in response to the council unanimously voting to pass an amendment to Ordinance 984, to change City Charter language back in December, which could raise property taxes up to 9%. To see the amendment go to https://bit. ly/3vsTk3M. “This was council initiated and therefore should have automatically gone to the voters,” Mounds View resident Valerie Amundsen stated.

“They have been talking about and pushing for this change for years. So, because it really was council initiated, according to MN Statutes 410.12, this issue was technically required to come back to the voters.”

The city received a letter from attorney Jack Perry, representing Mounds View residents Brian and Valerie Amundsen, stating that the city must correct the errors and certify the citizens’ petition as sufficient.

According to the memorandum from City Attorney Scott Riggs, the reason the petition was insufficient is because an appropriate form for a petition was not met. Also, the submitted petition signatures were determined to be unverifiable by the city clerk because birth date signatures were not provided.

Public comment The council allowed public comment during the Feb. 18 special meeting.

Valerie Amundsen said when the

ordinance passed in December, she asked the city staff for guidance for a petition and was told by city staff to go online and look up the Minnesota State Statutes.

“Justice needs to be served here.

There’s technicalities that you’re playing into and I feel like you’re not really listening to the will of the people,” Valerie said. “And you’re looking for a way to dispute what we’ve submitted. There’s so many things in the (agenda) packet that are wrong.”

Andrea Shoup explained that regardless of the legal issues that thiscase presents, the city has an ethical responsibility when petitioners ask for guidance.

“My hope is that we can work together as a community and City Council on this and that you’ll listen to the voices of those in your community who clearly would like to see this on the ballot this fall,” Shoup said.

John Lundberg said it’s apparent that the city is continuing to fight against the legality of this petition.

“Regardless if the petition had the exact data or what was legally needed, the point is the citizens don’t agree with the decision that was made here and should be brought to a vote,” Lundberg said. “It’s too big of a deal to not let the people decide. And the fact that you’re not letting them, speaks volumes to the people.”

Bob King said if you follow the letter of the law, you get what you need.

“Don’t tell me the city didn’t provide information. And when you went to the county website, there it was.

It’s up to you, not up to the city, to do it,” King said. “Some people want to blame the city and I don’t see that at all. Secondly, not all of the citizens agreed. And thirdly, we’re not going to 9% right away. This is in case

something happens down the road.”

Karen Mills said she appreciates the City Council for following the guidance and advice of the city attorney on making decisions that could have legal ramifications and thanked the city for everything they are doing.

City staff and council comments City Administrator Nyle Zikmund said the City of Mounds View is one of two cities in the state that has a property tax levy cap.

“We’re three or four years away from really going off a cliff,” Zikmund said. “As the council knows, we’ve been deficit spending since the levy cap went in and the choices the council is going to have to make in a few short years is really shutting down the parks and recreation programs, laying off 20% of the public works staff and 15% of the police department. And that’s just to balance the budget.”

According to Riggs, the city did in fact take the necessary steps required

by Minnesota Statutes and Minnesota Rules in previously determining the insufficiency of the petition.

Council Member Gary Meehlhouse asked if any of the rules in Chapter 82-05 associated with Minnesota Statute 410.12 are considered optional when putting together a petition and who has the authorization to develop the rules related to Minnesota Statutes?

“They’re not optional,” Riggs responded. “That is what is provided and obligated for petitions in the state of Minnesota,” he added. “The answer to the second question is the Secretary of State proposes those rules that go through a rule-making process. It is publicly noticed and

publicly commented on before it is implemented in the Minnesota rules.”

Riggs also said that the rules are there to guide and provide a structure that the city and county can utilize to analyze any petition submitted.

The petitioners did have the option to submit an amended or new petition

by Feb. 22 and the city only received the letter from Perry. While not required under Minnesota Statutes, Section 410.12, the city’s options in response to the Perry letter include: • Consider the Perry letter as an amended petition.

• Consider the Perry letter as a new petition.

• Reaffirm Resolution No. 9547 adopted on Feb. 4, by adopting a new resolution.

• Take no action since the petitioners submitted no new or amended petition with the Perry letter and have missed the deadline by which to submit an amended petition. The city then would wait to see if the petitioners submit a new petition by Tuesday, Feb. 22.

The city unanimously voted to reaffirm the resolution adopted on Feb. 4, finding the petition insufficient.

Council Member Mark Beer was not present at the meeting.

“We anticipated we would get an amended petition presented,” Mayor Carol Mueller said.“As we are going through this process, we are following the letter of the law and we are serving the residents of this community as we were elected to do.”

Volunteers are important

D

URING THE PANDEMIC, volunteers have become more important than ever. They have bridged the gap for transportation, groceries, medical care, child care and overcoming loneliness.

Food shelves and food banks have been used more by families in need and volunteers have been there to sort, bag and assist in many ways.

Loss of work days due to illness, child care, and schools going to remote learning have seriously affected incomes.

Government subsidies have been cut back and the increase in inflation directly affects household incomes. The affect is greater for those with low incomes as food, fuel and medical costs take a larger chunk.

Be sure to thank those who volunteer and give yourself a pat on the back if you are About the one.

Town

EVERY FALL AND winter pesky rodents like mice and Gene Johnson rats like to find a warm place to reside for the winter. Little red squirrels can also be trouble. Traps and bait are varied by types and sizes. We have found peanut butter and cheese are good bait.

Last week I heard a new trapping idea from a longtime friend who lives in Dellwood, Minnesota. He uses a five-gallon pail with a quarter inch of cooking oil in the bottom. The rodents climb in, get oiled, can’t get out and die.

NATIONAL NEWS HAS brought attention to the record low 30 degree temperatures in Florida. One of the warnings posted is about the iguanas falling out of the trees. Don’t laugh. Living winters in Fort Myers, this is a reality.

When temperatures drop into the 40s, the bodies of the cold-blooded iguanas slow down and become immobile. However, most of them survive this and as the day warms up, so do the iguanas.

GREEN IGUANAS ARE not native to Florida, but were accidentally introduced as stowaways in cargo ships. They are considered an invasive species. They come from Central and South American countries close to the equator.

Our favorite cruising in the Caribbean is the Exuma islands, southeast of Nassau.

A large group of iguanas live on the small island of Bitter Guana Cay. They are studied by science students who anchor near the island and come ashore by tender.

We dinghy in from anchor and feed the iguanas fresh vegetables. They also live on several other islands in the Exumas. The world population has dwindled to 5,000.

Get the garden party started by starting seeds indoors

L

iving in Minnesota has its perks; unfortunately, the length of our growing season is not one of them. You can overcome this challenge and extend your growing season by starting seeds indoors.

Many vegetables and flowers should be started inside, and most seed packets provide instructions.

Before you begin, it’s important to know the length of your growing season, first and last frost dates, and Gardener’s basic growing Grapevine condition information Ashley Sobczak specific to your plant.

Here are some important tips for seedstarting success.

can be found online) can help determine seed viability.

Selecting seed: You can find seeds at several types of brick-and-mortar retailers, although they are typically limited to more common varieties. Online retailers offer a wider array of seed options including rare and unique varieties. It is best to use seed packaged for the current growing season, but many seeds remain viable for several years if stored properly. A simple germination test (instructions

Planting and Growing: • Follow the package directions for planting depth. The general rule is to sow the seed approximately four times as deep as its width.

• Keep the soil mix thoroughly moist by using a spray bottle or bottom-watering method. Do not leave excess water in the container or tray.

• Label containers with the variety name and planting date.

Seed-starting mix: There are many seed-starting mixes available for purchase, or you can make your own using materials like vermiculite, peat, and coco coir. You can even find recipes online. Do not use regular potting soil, as it is typically too heavy for seeds and may lead to mold, root rot or other seedling failure.

Containers: The options for seed-starting containers and trays are practically endless, with hardware stores and garden centers carrying many alternatives. Some choices include reusable plastic containers or one-timeuse biodegradable pots. You can also repurpose common household items such as plastic drinking cups, egg cartons, and newspaper. Whatever container you choose, it is essential that you provide good drainage.

• Follow requirements for light, moisture level, and temperature. A heat mat might be necessary.

• Cover the container with a plastic dome or plastic wrap until the seeds germinate.

• Consider planting extra seeds in case of low germination rates. To remove extra seedlings, cut off the weaker ones at the soil line rather than pulling them out.

• Use a fan at the lowest setting to improve airflow and help reduce the risk of mold. Some gardeners also use cinnamon to prevent damping-off disease, and while there are no scientific studies to prove it works, it won’t harm your plants to try.

• Apply a weekly all-purpose, water-soluble fertilizer mixed at one-fourth strength once the seedlings have several sets of true leaves.

• Transplant seedlings if they outgrow their container, but do not handle them by the stem.

• Harden the seedlings off for two weeks before transplanting them outside. The UMN Extension website has some great information: https:// extension.umn.edu/plantingand-growing-guides/startingseeds-indoors.

Good luck and happy planting!

State individuals will be held Friday and Saturday at Xcel Energy center.

“Over all, we are happy with the way the team performed,” coach Dan Engebretson said. “Always great to get all 14 guys on the podium. Like always, we are a little upset and feel we missed a couple opportunities, but super excited to see what the seven state entrants do next week.”

Every Mustang won at least one match and placed in the top six.

The Mustang section champions are sophomore Apollo Ashby at 145 pounds, freshman Joseph Muhlstein at 160, and junior Jacob “J Roc” Solheim at 195.

Ashby (30-10) pinned White Bear Lake’s Tyler Brock in 1:31 in the finals, after advancing with a bye and a 4-1 decision over Stillwater’s Otto Hanlon.

Muhlstein (25-2) edged Roseville’s Dylan Cariveau 4-3 in the finals, after advancing with a bye and a pin of Centennial’s Tyler Cook.

KING CAKE: A tasty bread-like cake shaped like a crown FROM PAGE 1

times associated with the French because of a proposed ban on the cake which was briefly considered during the French Revolution because of its reference to kings. French settlers eventually brought the king cake to Louisiana.

The king cake we see today is the version that is popular in the south of France, which is a yeasty bread-like

cake that takes on the form of a crown.

As for the bright colors, purple represents justice, green is faith and gold stands for power.

Unlike other cakes, there are a couple of rules to follow when eating a king cake. There’s a pretty specific window of time for the king cake. It is typically eaten between Jan. 6 and Fat Tuesday, the day before lent. And like the Romans before who baked a bean into their cake, there are some

WHERE TO GET A KING CAKE

rules for today’s version of the cake with the plastic baby inside. While it’s believed to be good luck for the person who receives the slice of cake with the baby, it’s expected the person who finds the baby must bring a king cake to next year’s celebration.

Staff Writer Corinne Stremmel can be reached by emailing lowdownnews@ presspubs.com or calling 651-407-1226.

Success on snow begins in here!
