The youth robotics team Spontaneous Construction is heading to the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) World Championship from April 19-22, in Houston, Texas.

FIRST stands for — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. The nine-member team is composed of juniors and seniors from Mounds View and Southwest high schools. Team members built a robot to grab cones and stack them on different poles, and took first place at the Minnesota FIRST Tech Challenge state tournament.

5K run/walk to honor Shoreview avid runner

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Longtime Shoreview resident Rene McCoy lost her battle with pancreatic cancer on Dec. 1, 2020, but her legacy lives on with the first Monarch Fund 5K run/ walk on Sunday, April 23, at Snail Lake Regional Park.

“My wife Rene was an active runner, and ran every day,” said Brian McCoy, Rene’s husband of 39 years. “She loved running at Snail Lake Park. Sometimes she would run in the morning and then she’d walk with somebody in the afternoon or bike ride with somebody in the evening. It was a social connection for her.”

Craig McCoy, Brian’s brother, is managing the event.

“Participants for the kids’ run will get a T-shirt, and they will need to sign up on the website,” Craig said. “For people who don’t want to do the full 5K, which is 3.1 miles, we have another event called a bench walk. It only goes about a mile and ends up where there’s a memorial bench for Rene in the park.”

Brian and Rene’s next door neighbor, Mary Marvin, came up with the idea of a bench at Snail Lake Park in honor of Rene.

“Mary and Rene were best friends, and Mary wasn’t a runner, she was a walker,” Brian said.

for the goal of winning state and making our way to the world championship,” team member Jackie Lee said. “After seeing all five years of our hard work accumulate to this one moment, it felt very unrealistic at first, but then it’s finally happening. We saw this coming because we know we’ve worked so hard to get to this spot.”

Team member Aaron Lam said being state champions is gratifying because the team worked hard on its robot.

“It’s a collective community where we’re our own teams building our own robots but a lot of the time we’re also meeting with other teams and working with them,” Lam said. “Over time, we slowly grew into this one team that everybody in

Minnesota knew pretty much and we were friends with a ton of the volunteers and a ton of the other teams. It was really nice to see that all of our hard work paid off and being recognized as the first-place winner at state.”

The team is active in the Minnesota robotics community and has made friends from all over the country.

“We have friends in Connecticut that we’re really excited to see at the world championship,” Lee said. “We also helped out teams in Norway and Utah. We’re excited to not only meet these people in person for the first time but also see some of our old friends who are also from different states.”

ROBOTICS TEAM: Wins state tournament, next up world championship

FROM PAGE 1

Team members are excited and a little nervous about going to the competition because they want to prove that the team’s robot is competitive.

“Most teams will use a drivetrain called a Mecanum that has these wheels with rollers on them so it’s able to move both forward and backward and also left to right,” said team member Ian Buerge. “However, one of the core items for teams is being innovative and unique. So this year we decided to try something new and create a drivetrain called a swerve drivetrain, which is on our robot right now. So what makes the drivetrain unique is that it has a number of pods on it that rotate independently of each other. So we can orient them in any direction. Each of these pods are running by two separate motors, which control the same time the rotation moving the wheel in the middle. So this makes it essentially twice as strong as a Mecanum drive.”

The team prides itself in always trying to push the boundaries of what it means to be an FTC team.

“It’s really just about how we wanted to learn and challenge ourselves as humans,” Wood said. “Making the innovative robot and having these new and creative designs is pushing ourselves to do the most unique thing. We’ve been working so long

MDH encourages teens to ‘Call Norm’

To combat the tobacco industry’s use of marketing tactics like celebrity endorsements and the use of flavors that appeal to youth, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has launched “Hey Norm,” a creative, relatable marketing campaign intended to engage teens about the issue of vaping.

According to the 2022 Minnesota Student Survey, about 14% of Minnesota’s 11th grade students and more than 2% of middle school students use e-cigarettes. This e-cigarette use exposes these students to the harmful effects of commercial tobacco and the potential for a lifelong nicotine habit.

“We know that nicotine found in e-cigarettes is highly addictive and can lead to significant physical and mental health impacts,” said Minnesota Commissioner of Health Dr. Brooke Cunningham. “Teens know some of the harmful side effects, but they may not actively seek out information, and they may not feel comfortable talking about nicotine use with friends or trusted adults. We hope this campaign prompts them to learn more and share that knowledge with their friends.”

Picking up on the popular “lowbudget infomercial” approach, the campaign encourages teens to call or text Norm at 1-833-HEY-NORM to get advice about how to start “the vape talk” with their peers. There’s also a website, https://aroomtobreathe. org, with relevant data and resources about the harms of nicotine and vaping, ways to get involved and

access to quit support tailored for teens. The anti-vaping campaign is featured in mobile billboards, bulletins, posters, transit system signage, online video, social content and streaming audio.

“Research shows us that today’s youth are all about acceptance and prefer not to judge or confront others, but they do feel very protective of their friends and want to be advocates for them, especially in dangerous situations,” said Madelyn Fisher, an Owatonna high school student and member of the Minnesota Youth Advisory Council. “Norm helps us have those awkward conversations around vaping and taps into teens’ protective nature, helping us become ambassadors on this issue for our friends.”

The campaign highlights the dangers of vaping, which are often underestimated. The truth is that e-cigarette aerosol contains harmful chemicals including ultrafine particles that can be inhaled deep into the lungs; flavorings (which the Tobacco Industry uses to market heavily to teens) such as diacetyl, a chemical linked to a serious lung disease; volatile organic compounds; cancer-causing chemicals; and heavy metals such as nickel, tin and lead.

Digital and cloud storage

What ever happened to the family photo album?

We have albums and photo boxes filled with family photos that have been printed over the years. My cell phone and icloud host thousands more, and I have more digital files stored on DVD, jump drives and hard drives. Recently I received a notice from a digital photo service that stores photos for free that my files may be deleted if I didn’t make an annual purchase. I began to wonder how many vendors I have stored photos with and how do I retrieve them? With my cell phone being my primary camera now, can I be certain that everything I think is stored on the cloud actually is? Photos taken on social media platforms adds a whole other element, and are those stored somewhere? What if the platform changes or shuts down? Technology keeps changing, and it’s confusing how to best archive photos and other important documents digitally.

Perhaps some technologies are too good to be true, like totally free digital cloud storage. Our local IT company explained to me how many start-up cloud servers have gone by the wayside because they have been displaced by tech giants. I’m beginning to think the best way to ensure my photos aren’t lost is to go back to storing them on jump drives, and keeping an extra copy with a family member or in a safe or safety deposit box.

Double check where your photos and documents are being stored. It seems advisable to back up in multiple ways, as it is hard to keep up with the speed of technology and know which companies are guaranteed to be around.

Autism for parents: getting mental health help for your autistic child

With April being Autism

Movers & Shakers

Alyssa Deutschmann, MSW, LGSW; MA, BCBA

Awareness month, it’s a good time to reflect on how communication impacts the mental health of children with autism, which at its core is a language and communication disorder. Communication forms a foundation in getting wants and needs met for any child. What we see is that when a child with autism does not get their wants and needs met, this can result in mental health concerns that come out in behaviors.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy for children with autism that I have practiced for the past 10 years. It is a type of behavior therapy commonly used for children with autism that emphasizes the influence environment has on behavior. In this approach, we change how different parts of an environment are presented to the child. While keeping in mind that you shouldn’t change everything all at once, there are innumerable ways to change your child’s environment and your parental

behavior to influence a child’s mental health, such as:

• Placing a neutral activity between a fun activity and a not so fun activity to make the transition easier.

• Removing the word ‘but’ from your vocabulary. “But” cancels the warm feeling gained from a positive and replaces it with a sour mood that can linger.

• Doing something you enjoy with your hands that has a set beginning and end.

• Ending every negative thing you say with a positive thing can counter negative thinking and is huge in showing kids how to problem solve by seeing both sides of the picture.

• Offering up choices only if you are willing to accept either choice.

• Changing your wording when communicating.

I have learned by training and experience that there is a close relationship between the triangle of communication, behavior and mental health. That is why, after working in ABA, I recognized the need for additional training to address mental health as well.

I found the answer by getting a second master’s degree, this time in Social Work. I needed to be able to work with all three sides of the triangle to be most effective. ABA therapy works to help improve the communication and behaviors of the child with autism in

the same way that we might help a flower to grow when we add soil, water more, water less, change the soil, put it in a bigger pot or move it from shade to sun. We change the environment around the flower, not change the flower itself - and then we wait and see what happens to the flower. In the same way we do not try to change the child with autism. We change what is happening in their environment and in doing so, we help them. While ABA was a great start, I have found that addressing all sides of the triangle, the communication, the behavior, and the feelings, yields the greatest results and allows your child to bloom.

The best time to seek therapy is before a crisis occurs or before stressors become too much. The mental health of a child with autism; thoughts, feelings and behaviors are less likely to go into crisis with regular upkeep and practices such as therapy. Then they can bloom as wonderfully as the plants in a garden. Need help with your triangle? Let’s dig in together!

This year, the fundraiser for the Slice of Shoreview will be organized and hosted for the first time by the Shoreview Arden Hills Lions Club. As in the past years, it is sponsored by the Shoreview-Einhasen Sister City Association (SESCA), Einhasen, Hesse, Germany. Several area restaurants and businesses are participating and providing food, beverages and donations.

Deb Carpenter, one of the coordinators from the Lions Club, said, “Since the Lions Club’s mission is to serve the community, we agreed to host the event this year when approached by the City of Shoreview and have been working with the Slice of Shoreview committee. They have given us a lot of information on how it has operated in the past.”

The Lions Club group has taken over many of the roles, including the logistics of organizing the event, such as contacting vendors, requesting donations, selling tickets, advertising and setting up. She said most of the proceeds from the Taste of Shoreview go toward the fireworks during the Slice of Shoreview, which will be held July 22-24 this year.

Many area restaurants will serve food and drinks throughout the evening, and all attendees can vote for their favorite restaurant. They also receive a complimentary wine glass from the Lions Club.

Participating restaurants and vendors for this year’s Taste include Big 10, Big Wood Brewery, Green Mill of Shoreview, Honey Baked Ham, Mansetti’s Pizza & Pasta, Northern Soda Company, Jersey Mikes, Stonehouse Catering, Winkin’ Rooster, In Vino Veritas, Red Robin of Shoreview, Pacabelly’s Treat Shop, Lunds & Byerlys of White Bear Lake, Lakeridge Liquor, Old Southern BBQ, and Urban Edge Cuts.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Anarchy

If you love, care, about America, please read “The New Anarchy,” by Adrienne LaFrance, April 2023, “The Atlantic.” Never have I been so frightened for the future of this democratic experiment we call America. The topic is deliberate, planned, political violence: staging events including getting punched in the face to create media events; discussing and carrying out events designed to intimidate and injure/ kill one’s imagined “enemies of freedom”; and plotting long-range campaigns around violence.

LaFrance says, “Three realities mark the current era of political violence … different from what has come before, and make dealing with it much harder.” They are: the universal access to weaponry, including military-grade weapons; the information environment (“Hateful ideas and conspiracy theories are … actively amplified by social platforms …”); and people refusing to accept the outcome of elections.

Her solutions: facing down those who use the language of democracy to weaken democracy, and rebuking conspiracy theorists, billionaires owning social platforms, seditionists claiming to be patriots and authoritarians claiming to love freedom.

She predicts one of two endings: (1) how democracy and reason prevailed and (2) how minds grew fevered and blood was spilled “in the twilight of a great experiment that did not have to end the way it did.”

The choice is OURS. We can face up to what “we” in general have created and allowed. We can believe 95% of all humans are good or we can believe 95% of humans are evil. We can accept blindly propaganda poisoning our minds from “our trusted sources” or we can seek out alternative views. We can vote for “our” politicians or we can demand they reflect what public opinion polls reveal and do something meaningful about things tearing America apart — guns, misinformation, economic inequality and prejudice.

Perspective:

Wilkinson & Pickett’s “The Spirit Level”; Stiglitz’s “The Price of Inequality”; Barlett & Steele’s “The Betrayal of the American Dream”; Haidt’s “The Righteous Mind … Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion”; Kakutani’s “The Death of Truth”; Stanley’s “How Fascism Works”; and Jackson & Jamieson’s “un-Spun.” How important is a WORKING democracy to you?

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the selected incidents in Shoreview:

• A resident in the 4700 block of Laura Lane at 4:41 a.m. March 5 reported two unknown suspicious males lurking around the neighboring house, studying it and acting as if they were casing the residence. The males had been dropped off by a vehicle and had gone about trying to gain entry into the home, whose occupants were not at home at the time. When Ramsey Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived on scene, the males were gone, but left signs of trying to pry a door open. Deputies then cleared the scene.

• A Minneapolis man, 33, and a Pine City man, 42, were arrested at 6:03 a.m. March 5 in the 4700 block of Laura Lane after a neighbor reported suspicious males dropped off a second time, who this time successfully gained entry into the home. Deputies also arriving for a second time were just in time to see one of the suspects leaving the front door of the home with a pry bar in his hand, and the foot chase was on. Backup deputies arrived on scene and began setting up a perimeter to the east of the home where the suspect fled, and the suspect was soon captured. Meanwhile, back at the house, deputies returned there and began a K-9 search. The K-9 officer quickly apprehended the second suspect hiding in a bedroom. Deputies took the suspect into custody and transported him to Regions Hospital for treatment of K-9 bites to his arm and leg. With due diligence, deputies located another burglarized home across the street and cleared that residence by K-9. Both ransacked homes were processed by the day shift crime scene processor. Both males were charged with felony burglary of a dwelling, which carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and/or maximum $20,000 fine. Between them, the two suspects have multiple convictions for domestic assault, theft, possessing burglary tools, motor vehicle theft, crime for the benefit of a gang, threats of violence, receiving stolen property, burglary in the first degree, narcotics and fleeing police in a motor vehicle. One of the suspects had multiple felony warrants out on him from three counties.

• An intoxicated female was reported at 5:44 p.m. March 6 for falling into a snowbank in the area of Hodgson Road and Highway 96 and not being able to get up. Deputies arriving on scene released her to Allina medics to be evaluated at the hospital.

• A Minneapolis man, 28, was arrested at 2:06 a.m. March 7 in the area of Grey Fox Road and Lexington Avenue N. for DWI, possessing ammunition as a felon, fleeing peace officers in a motor vehicle and receiving stolen property, after deputies on routine patrol came upon a slumper in the 3600 block of Lexington Avenue in Arden Hills. Before even clearing out the cobwebs, the driver was off to the races, fleeing southbound on Lexington Avenue all the way into St. Paul, then northbound again. After an 11-minute pursuit that covered 10 miles, the suspect crashed into a freeway fence and fled on foot before being taken into custody by St. Paul Police. National Crime Information Center (NCIC) research revealed the vehicle to have been stolen out of Mankato. After the suspect was transported to Regions Hospital to check on possible injuries, deputies obtained a

search warrant for blood and urine samples and served it. The suspect was then transported to jail, where he had the proverbial book thrown at him.

• A Shoreview man, 34, was arrested March 7 in the area of Hanson Road and Tanglewood Drive for third-degree DWI after deputies were dispatched out to check out the report of a slumper. The subject was booked at the law enforcement center and completed the DataMaster test, on which he registered a 0.32 blood alcohol content.

• A front passenger window of a vehicle parked next to an apartment building in the 1000 block of Gramsie Road overnight March 7-8 was reported broken out. There is no suspect information, but there is nothing missing, either.

• A Shoreview man, 35, was arrested March 8 in the 1300 block of Sunview Drive for domestic assault, following a report of a domestic on March 7 that had occurred on March 6. The suspect was not on site when deputies arrived, so a citation was left for him. After a Keep Our Kops Safe alert was issued, the suspect was located and arrested two days after the assault.

• A verbal dispute between a boyfriend and girlfriend was reported at 12:21 a.m. March 8 in the 5300 block of Lexington Avenue N. Deputies broke up the party when one of the debaters agreed to go to detox.

• Management at the Emrik Apartments in the 4000 block of Chatsworth Street reported one of the residents for tampering with a fire extinguisher inside the underground parking garage March 9. Attempts to contact the suspect were unsuccessful.

• A suspicious slumper reported at 3:12 a.m. March 10 in the garage of her apartment in the 500 block of Harriet Avenue turned out to be a resident who was simply asleep. Deputies awakened the woman and advised her to wake up and go to bed.

• A St. Paul man, 45, and a St. Paul woman, 46, were arrested at 12:13 a.m. March 8 after Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) deputies attempted to conduct a traffic stop in the area of Hodgson Road and Highway 96 for impaired driving. The vehicle fled, and the chase was on. The pursuit lasted 11 minutes and covered 15 miles until RCSO deputies and Roseville police officers deployed stop sticks and deflated the tires of the vehicle. The driver and passenger were then taken into custody following a foot chase. After identifying the suspects, deputies discovered the reason for the flight. The male driver was arrested for fleeing police officers in a motor vehicle and for identity theft. The female passenger was arrested on a felony outstanding warrant out of Anoka County for identity theft. But the suspects still did not give up, as they resisted arrest all the way to the law enforcement center.

• A Shoreview woman, 59, was arrested for DWI at 4:51 p.m. March 11 in the 3900 block of Rice Street after deputies were dispatched out to the scene of a property damage accident at the intersection with Gramsie Road. The motorist had struck a snowbank and showed signs of intoxication during the traffic stop. She was unable to follow directions for the standard field sobriety tests, but was able to provide a blood alcohol content of 0.255 on the portable breath test. She was taken to the patrol station

Darian would do best in a home where he is the only child. Following adoption, Darian would need to maintain contact with his siblings and birthparents.

for further testing, where she was booked for third-degree test refusal.

• Meanwhile, a Shoreview man, 40, was cited during the late afternoon of March 11 on Rice Street and Gramsie Road during the same incident above for violating the Ted Foss Move Over law and for driving around a barricade to the endangerment of life and property. The squad had deployed its emergency flashers in full view and had blocked the southbound lane to execute the DWI traffic stop. The driver crossed the centerline to go around the squad and head southbound in the northbound lane, narrowly missing the tow truck driver.

• Deputies found a wallet on the ground in the 5800 block of Prairie Meadow Drive March 12 and tried to return it to its owner. After knocking on the owner’s door and receiving no answer, deputies placed the wallet into property at the patrol station for safekeeping.

• Deputies were more successful in returning a second wallet they found in the middle of the street on March 13 in the 5200 block of Oxford Street. They returned the wallet to its owner in Columbia Heights, based on information contained in the wallet.

• A New Brighton man, 35, was cited March 14 in • the 1300 block of Sunview Drive for misdemeanor violating a domestic abuse nocontact order. The citation was mailed to the offender’s last known address.

• A Shoreview man, 33, was cited for misdemeanor domestic assault March 15 in the 1500 block of Hall Street.

• A Brooklyn Park man, 57, was cited at 10:00 p.m. March 16 in the area of Lexington Avenue and I-694 for hit-and-run, after a Mounds View woman recovered the license plate number of his vehicle after he crashed into her vehicle and left the scene. After contact was attempted with the registered owner of his vehicle, he was mailed a citation.

• A White Bear Township man, 43, was arrested March 17 in Woodbury for motor vehicle theft after a resident in the 600 block of Schifsky Road let him borrow it. Her friend never returned the vehicle to her, so she reported it as stolen. The vehicle was entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database, and Woodbury Police recovered it the next day undamaged and with the keys inside. As the arrest was made in Woodbury, charges are pending in Washington County.

• An unlocked vehicle parked inside an open garage overnight March 17-18 in the 4200 block of Sylvia Lane South was reported rummaged through. Several miscellaneous items not worth very much, along with $10 in loose cash, were stolen from the vehicle.

• A resident in the 1000 block of Churchill Circle reported fraud March 18 after he received paperwork and a debit card for an account he did not open. The victim reported a similar fraud in February. Although no monetary loss was reported, he was advised to contact the Social Security Administration about compromised identity information.

• A Shoreview man, 47, was arrested at 10:53 p.m. March 18 in the 3900 block of Victoria Street N. for domestic assault after he became intoxicated and struck his girlfriend in the face, sending her to the hospital.

‘Not man enough to just walk away’

A Minneapolis man, 30, faces up to three years in prison and/or a $5,000 fine for felony domestic assault by strangulation, following a March 20 domestic incident during which he tried to strangle his girlfriend of three years.

At around 2:15 p.m. March 20, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a domestic assault report in the 5700 block of Prairie Ridge Drive. On arrival, deputies met the girlfriend, 25, who was trembling in fear and needed a few moments to gather herself before she could talk to them.

The victim told deputies that her boyfriend had assaulted her and had been physically abusing her for the past two years of their three-year relationship.

The defendant had strangled her at least 10 times in the past, the victim said.

In this latest incident, the two had gotten into an argument while the victim was seated on the couch. The defendant got on top of her and punched her body multiple times before grabbing her neck with one of his hands and choking her. The victim said she couldn’t breathe and felt dizzy afterwards, but didn’t lose consciousness.

When the defendant finally let the victim go, he asked her if she was planning to call her mother or the police. And when the victim replied she would be calling both of them, he got up and threw her vape and phone at her.

Later, the girlfriend received a message from her boyfriend to “apologize.” He wrote that he wanted to apologize for not being man enough to walk away, but then blamed the victim for making things overly difficult with all her “B.S.”

Nearly 5 times over the limit

An Arden Hills man, 34, faces up to one year in jail and/or maximum $3,000 fine for third-degree DUI. His sentence could be increased if he’s also convicted of two other charges: fourth-degree DWI and misdemeanor obstructing the legal process, both of which carry a penalty of up to 90 days in jail and/or maximum $1,000 fine.

These three charges are the result of a March 19 incident starting when Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the Speedway station on Lexington Avenue N. at County Road E at approximately 7:13 a.m. on a report of a possibly intoxicated driver. Deputies were unable to locate the vehicle at the gas station and decided to check the listed address of the registered owner, which was near the Speedway station. Deputies finally located the vehicle in Arden Hills, still occupied by the driver, and initiated a traffic stop.

The defendant stated that he was just coming from the gas station. Deputies could smell the strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from him, which the defendant admitted to consuming.

The defendant agreed to perform standard field

sobriety tests, including the gaze tracking, walk and turn and one-leg stand. He performed poorly on these tests and was told he would be placed under arrest. However, the defendant did not agree to being under arrest and stiffened his body to prevent deputies from arresting him.

Deputies gave the subject multiple commands to loosen up and stop resisting, but he continued to act like a giant anvil, such that deputies had to call for backup deputies to secure him. After multiple deputies struggled to fold him into the squad car, the defendant was transported to jail, where he was read the breath test advisory. He finally agreed to provide a breath sample within two hours after initial contact, which registered a 0.39 blood alcohol content.

Deputies, bystander looking out for drinking driver

A Cottage Grove man, 56, told deputies he was thankful they arrested him for DWI. He could also thank the person who followed him and reported him.

At approximately 5:55 p.m. April 1, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched out on a report of a motorist drinking alcohol while driving erratically. The driver was described as a male in his 40s, driving on the shoulder and swerving all over the place. The complainant continued to follow the subject until the intoxicated driver stopped and parked in the 200 block of Cottage Place.

On arrival, deputies observed the vehicle parked on the north side of the street with its driver’s side door standing wide open and the male, as described, standing at the vehicle as if to say, “come and get me.” When asked, the male indicated he had been driving the vehicle. Deputies noticed several of the classic signs of intoxication and asked the subject to take part in a few field sobriety tests, such as the eye tracking test, the walk and turn and the one-leg stand. When indicators of intoxication were observed, deputies placed the subject under arrest and read the Miranda warning.

In his statement, the subject said he had been drinking fireball whiskey while driving and appreciated being arrested because he needed help with his addiction. At the patrol station, the defendant agreed to submit to a breath test which yielded a blood alcohol content of 0.18 at 7:21 p.m., less than two hours after initial contact.

The defendant faces up to one year in jail and/ or a maximum $3,000 fine for third-degree DUI and another maximum 90 days in jail and/or $1,000 fine for fourth-degree DUI.

What part of ‘do not violate the OFP’ is not understood?

On April 1, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Deputies took a phone report from the 500 block of Tomlyn Avenue that a Minneapolis man, 52, had been violating an

order for protection (OFP) taken out against him.

A Shoreview woman, 33, indicated that she had been receiving calls and texts from unknown numbers that she believed originated with the defendant, who currently has an active OFP that prohibits him from contacting her at all. Furthermore, the complainant said she received an email from the defendant’s email address that discussed personal issues between the two parties.

In addition, the complainant received a cash app request from the defendant for $66.60. The photo in the cash app resembles the Division of Driver and Vehicle Services’ photo of the defendant.

The defendant, who has a prior conviction for OFP violation in January 2023, faces up to one year in prison and/or a maximum fine of $3,000 for the new gross misdemeanor violation of an OFP.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF BRIEFS

Come learn about the history of the Children’s Preventorium

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Once upon a time, children who were at risk for tuberculosis were sent to a place on Lake Owasso in Shoreview called the Children’s Preventorium of Ramsey County.

There will be a presentation on the Children’s Preventorium of Ramsey County from historian Paul Nelson at the Shoreview Historical Society’s annual meeting from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 16, at the Shoreview Community Center. The event is free and open to the public.

Nelson started publishing local history in 1995. He is the author of many publications on Minnesota history and a frequent contributor to the Ramsey County History magazine.

The Children’s Preventorium of Ramsey County was open for 38 years. Nelson said this was the only preventorium in Minnesota back in the day.

“It’s probably the best-documented preventorium in the country,” Nelson said. “I think there are 950 names, addresses and kids who came through on the record.”

A brief history

The Preventorium, located at 210 N. Owasso Blvd., was established in 1910 as the Cuenca Hospital for the

care of tuberculosis by founders Dr. Henry Longstreet Taylor and Edward Perkins Davis.

In 1915, the hospital was renamed the Children’s Preventorium of Ramsey County because Dr. Taylor convinced the anti-tuberculosis association that prevention of the disease was the most effective way to combat tuberculosis.

Children who were at risk for tuberculosis were sent to the Preventorium — also known as the Preve — to build up their strength. The concept of care was to provide a healthy diet and ample outdoor activity.

A small wooden structure on the property became the first “Preve.” During the first 14 months of operation, the Preventorium cared for

85 children.

“People who created the preventoriums believed that the best remedies for TB were sunlight, fresh air and rest,” Nelson said. “If you were a kid, it would have been the best, because it’s a beautiful location on the lake. They did a lot of fishing, and they were supposed to be outside as much as possible. So for a kid, their outdoor life was like being at Scout camp.”

According to Nelson, starting in the summer of 1926, admission to the Preve required a formal referral. Of the 624 children admitted after referrals began, 242 were referred by the St. Paul Health Department’s Tuberculosis Division.

After a fire destroyed the main building in 1927, three brick

structures were planned and built. They opened in 1933. There was a twostory brick administration building with large porches on both floors.

On the main floor were the kitchen, residents’ dining room, employees’ dining room, infirmary, music room and offices for the director and staff. Upstairs were showers, laundry, offices, dorms for staff and a conference room.

Adjacent to the administration building were the boy’s Davis building and the girl’s Taylor building. A wood-framed schoolhouse was purchased in 1923 and was moved to the site. It was later encased in brick in 1931. Because of the school, the “Preve kids” could keep up with their education.

The Children’s Preventorium of Ramsey County closed in 1953 because the threat of tuberculosis had been minimized. The property, now owned by Ramsey County, is called the Lake Owasso Residence.

5K RUN: Fundraiser for the Rene & Brian McCoy Cancer Recovery Research Monarch Fund

FROM PAGE 1

“Mary would be one of the people Rene would walk with after she ran in the morning.”

Craig said he was impressed that Rene would run in inclement weather.

“That never stopped her,” Craig said. “I remember going there a couple of times when it was really nasty. The rain was just pouring down, going sideways and cold. As a runner myself, I don’t like inclement weather. It didn’t matter what the weather was — and her friends were the same way. They were pretty dedicated.”

Rene ran in a lot of local races around the Twin Cities as well as Grandma’s Marathon in Duluth. She would also volunteer at 5K races. She worked as a paraprofessional for 16 years at various school districts.

“She worked with kids 4 to 6 years old and specialized in speech development,” Brian said. “She absolutely loved her job. Back before she was a para, she was the only nonworking woman here, so she was kind of the guardian of our neighborhood. She would also house-sit and walk every dog in the neighborhood.”

Rene and Brian moved to Shoreview in 1988 and raised two sons — Brody and Wyatt. When Rene was diagnosed with cancer, the family came together.

“We did a lot of traveling as a family,” Brian said. “We treated this chance to

be together and enjoy the time we had. I know she was feeling like crap, but she would never say it. She was beautiful, small — like 5-foot-1 — but infectious and positive.”

Rene was 60 years old when she passed away. One of her last wishes was to support research that leads to improved cancer treatment options and uncovers factors that contribute to cancer.

The Rene and Brian McCoy Cancer Recovery Research Monarch Fund was created by Rene’s husband, Brian, and their friends to carry on her legacy. Its purpose is to encourage and fund undergraduate students at Hamline University to continue research for this disease that impacts millions of lives.

All race proceeds will go to the Rene and Brian McCoy Cancer Recovery Research Monarch Fund at Hamline University.

April is...AUTISM ACCEPTANCE MONTH

The shift from Autism Awareness Month to Autism Acceptance Month reflects input from autistic and other community leaders, including members of the Association of University Centers on Disability who are advancing support, research, evidencebased interventions, inclusiveness and advocacy for the human and civil rights of all people with autism spectrum disorder / developmental disabilities (ASD/DD).

Autism diagnoses are growing, both for children and adults. In December 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that one in 44 children are diagnosed with autism. Over 7 million people in the U.S. are on the autism spectrum. Autism affects people from all racial, ethnic and socio-economic standings. The numbers stress the urgent need for equitable access to diagnostic evaluations and early interventions that have a significant impact on lifelong outcomes.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain. Some people with ASD have a genetic condition. Other causes are not yet known. Scientists believe there are multiple causes of ASD that act together to change the most common ways people develop.

People with ASD may behave, communicate, interact and learn in ways that are different from most people. Their appearance may not set them apart from others, and their abilities can vary significantly. Some people with ASD may have advanced conversation skills whereas others may be nonverbal. Some with ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others can work and live with little to no support.

ASD begins before the age of 3 and can last throughout a person’s life. Symptoms may improve over time. Some children with ASD gain new skills and meet developmental milestones

until around 18 to 24 months of age then stop gaining new skills or lose the skills they once had. As children with ASD become adolescents and young adults, they may have difficulties developing and maintaining friendships, communicating with others, or understanding what behaviors are expected in school or on the job. They may come to the attention of healthcare providers because of anxiety, depression, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, which occur more often in people with ASD than in people without ASD.

Approximately 1 in 5 young adults with autism will interact with a police officer before the age of 21. Individuals with disabilities, including those with autism, are five times more likely to be incarcerated than people without disabilities. Police interactions lead to more injuries and fatalities within this population, largely due to lack of training and the improper use of excessive force.

Up to 85 percent of autistic adults with a college education are unemployed, and over 70 percent of adults with autism are underemployed or unemployed. Given the current labor shortage, employers could benefit from expanding their pool of applicants through inclusive hiring practices.

The Autism Society offers a series of fact sheets and brochures to educate first responders and partners with businesses to offer learning opportunities, resources and connections to the wide network of autistic individuals in the workforce to support inclusive workplace missions.

Kicking grass: Native plantings foster environmental health

BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

For over 50 years, Earth Day has fostered awareness and action for the health of the environment. In that time, it has served to encourage largescale efforts, like national and worldwide advocacy as well as localized work, in acts as simple as planting a tree.

The Earth Day theme for 2023 is “Invest in Our Planet.”

A suggestion for homeowners is to “Plant native species and pollinators to support biodiversity and beautify your outdoor living space.” This is not a new idea; homeowners have been incorporating, and even replacing their lawns with, native plants for years.

Turf grass common to residential lawns promotes chemical use and supplemental watering, while offering no ecological value. Implications are far reaching, touching on groundwater and surface water quality, the pollinator crisis, and more. Converting lawn space to native plantings can help solve all of those problems, often with added benefits.

Native plants — especially those from the tallgrass prairie — require little to no watering to thrive. Their root systems reach deep into soils (some over 10 feet), which make them highly resistant to droughts. Placing them in the hottest, driest parts of a yard can reduce or even eliminate watering needs.

Because native plants have

been present on the landscape for millennia, animal species utilize them heavily. Mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects use native plant communities across seasons and habitats for food and cover.

This is especially true for insects, many of which have suffered severe declines in population due to intensive farming, development, pesticides and other factors. Some have very specific plant needs for their life cycles.

One example is the Karner blue, a small butterfly classified as endangered in Minnesota. It requires habitats which include wild lupine (Lupinus perennis), the only plant Karner blue caterpillars eat. Due to overwhelming loss of those habitats, it is possible that only one site in the state still maintains a population of this rare species.

Monarch butterflies, which were classified as endangered last year by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, famously require milkweed for the production of their caterpillars. While there are several native milkweeds suitable for monarchs, they (and other butterflies) also need nectar-producing plants throughout the season. There are many such plants endemic to this region, including Meadow blazing star (Liatris ligulistylis), Stiff goldenrod (Solidago rigida), Butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) and Purple prairie clover (Dalea purpurea).

Monarch Joint Venture

(MJV) is a national partnership network for monarch and pollinator conservation headquartered in St. Paul. Executive Director Wendy Caldwell says homeowners can make meaningful impacts on behalf of pollinators.

“We embrace this research called ‘All Hands on Deck,’ which basically shows that to reach our monarch conservation goals — which can serve as a proxy for pollinator population goals — we need all hands on deck to get there. Getting homeowners to convert their lawn to more native plants, to pollinator habitat, certainly contributes to that collective goal of restoring pollinator populations.”

Caldwell says anything helps, and that discontinuing pesticides is critical: “With species like monarchs, more is always better. But monarchs use a lot of different kinds of habitat. No habitat is too small ... Remember, when you’re planting pollinator habitat, you’ll be attracting insects. So don’t use things that kill insects.”

Establishing a native garden can be done in a few simple steps:

1. Identify a site, preferably with good sun exposure.

2. Assess the soil in order to determine which plants will do well there.

3. Select plants that will bloom at different times, and from sellers that offer local genetic strains.

Replacing ordinary grass with native plants invites wildlife, while allowing us to water less often. Pollinators like this bumble beelove Rough blazing star (Liatris aspera), which does well in dry, sandy soils.

4. Keep plants watered for the first few weeks, and through any drought conditions in the first growing season. An alternative to drier, prairie-like plantings is rain gardens. Designed to improve water quality by capturing runoff, they can replace grass in what is often the most parched portion of lawns: the boulevard. Native species adapted to moist soils are usually best, like Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) and Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium maculatum). By coupling a rain garden with other plantings, one can easily multiply the number of native plant species in one yard by a factor of two or more.

In preparing to convert turf grass to more beneficial vegetation, there are many good websites to consult, including Monarch Joint

Venture and the Xerces Society, for information about things like how to kill existing grass without using herbicides. Funds may also be available. Lawns to Legumes is a Minnesota cost-share program for establishing pollinator habitat. Ramsey County offers cost sharing and technical assistance for rain gardens and native plantings; consult its Soil & Water Conservation webpage for more information. The Landscape Revival Native Plant Market and Expo will take place June 10 at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Shoreview. Consult bigriverbigwoods.org for details.

Mounds View High School presents ‘Little Shop of Horrors’

BY AMANDA DEPHILLIPS CONTRIBUTING WRITER

One of the longest-running off-Broadway shows, “Little Shop of Horrors,” is coming to Mounds View High School at the end of April.

Based on a 1960s cult B-movie, the campy dark comedy skirts the edges of satire, horror and science fiction with a terrific rock score by Alan Menken and a clever, tightly written book by Howard Ashman.

Making his inaugural musical directorial debut at Mounds View High School is Matthew van Bruggen, who has worked with several theater arts organizations, including the Minnesota Fringe Festival and Hennepin Theatre Trust. Before accepting the role as director for Mounds View, he was the assistant director at Irondale High School.

Along with musical director Sarah Waller, van Bruggen assembled an incredible cast and crew. “Little Shop of Horrors” is set in Mushnik’s Flower Shop on Skid Row, where the audience finds Seymour, played by senior Jack Nitti, and his coworker Audrey, played by junior Eva Manrodt. After a total eclipse of the sun surprises Seymour with an unusual plant, lives are changed forever when this foul-mouthed, soulful-singing plant turns out to be a carnivore who desires complete world domination.

Sophomore Matthew Hahn commands his corner of Skid Row as shopkeeper Mr. Mushnik. Newcomer Luke Baker-Trinity, a freshman, will make his MVHS stage debut in the role of dentist Orin Scrivello, DDS. The story is narrated by a doo-wop Greek chorus of street urchins, inspired by the girl groups of the ’60s. The urchins are played by sophomores Jayda McAdams, Cali Sidler and Natavia Griffin.

“Audrey II is central to this story and a massive technical challenge,” explained van Bruggen. “Many theater companies spend months creating their puppet. We don’t have that kind of time or resources, so we contacted a local production company that frequently works with high schools and they have a rental set of plants for our use. The plant is a marvel, requiring a puppeteer to live inside for operation, all in sync with offstage vocals.”

The MVHS theater department is more than 130 members strong and produces three shows each year — a fall play, a winter Shakespearean play and a spring musical.

“The talent and creativity that comes out of these high schoolers continues to impress me each and every day!” observed van Bruggen.

Under the direction of Mounds View High School band director Bill Sucha, the pit orchestra is composed of a dozen students from the school’s music departments. They provide the live soundtrack written by the Academy-Award winning duo Howard

Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast,” and “Aladdin”).

While the musical is a comedy based in science fiction, it is rated PG-13.

“This musical contains mature themes like domestic violence, drug use and a man-eating plant. While sometimes humorous in the storyline, none of these actions are presented as desirable choices; in fact, they are primarily the behaviors of the villain,” van Bruggen said. “While man-eating plants like Audrey II aren’t real, dating violence is a serious problem for both teens and adults. Therefore, our cast members attended a teen-appropriate workshop on healthy relationships presented by the SELF program.”

Why is “Little Shop of Horrors” the most often-produced show of all musicals? van Bruggen has his theories. “The show has lasting appeal because it’s delightful, surprising and weird.”

“Little Shop of Horrors” is showing at the Mounds View High School Auditorium from April 27 through April 30. The Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7 p.m. The Sunday performance begins at 1 p.m.

Tickets are available online and at the door. https:// www.moundsviewtheatre.com/tickets.

McMillan and Oliver’s to expand parking

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

A new parking lot is coming to serve the McMillan apartments and Oliver’s restaurant.

McMillan Group II LLC has submitted several applications to redevelop the single-family home property at 3529 Rice Street to accommodate 49 parking spaces.

According to Senior Planner Allison Eddins, the city received comments from residents from the Rustic Place neighborhood. One resident asked if the applicant will be required to replace the trees that will be removed. The neighbor directly to the north did not have concerns with the project but did want to ensure that fencing and landscaping will be required along the property lines. A third neighbor expressed concerns about the maintenance of the fencing and landscape buffer and about the parking lot lights being fitted with shields.

“A 6-foot tall privacy fence will have to be installed along the northern property line and the western property line,” Eddins said. “The applicant is proposing to plant 17 new trees. These will be a mixture of cedar and spruce, so these will be the evergreen trees, and 10 new trees will be planted along the western property line. Again, that same mix of evergreen trees, and then 6 new trees will be planted within the parking lot itself.”

Eddins noted that five new parking lot lights would be installed. The older lights will be replaced.

“These new lights will be required to have shields on them, and these shields are designed to direct the light downward so that way it’s not creating a glare on neighboring properties,” Eddins said.

Residents from the Rustic Place neighborhood expressed concerns over the expansion during a public hearing at a recent City Council meeting.

Marcia Figus has lived in the neighborhood for 50 years and is directly behind the proposed parking lot.

“What has happened that now they need 49 parking places?”

Figus said. “The number of seats in the restaurant has not increased, the number of apartments in the apartment building has not increased and yet they need 49. Do they really need that much?”

Michael Mergens of the McMillan Group indicated that added parking is necessary due to the continued high leasing of the apartments and the success of Oliver’s.

“Oliver’s has been everything that anybody who thought about it dreamed it could be,” Mergens said.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

Meet new friends

“It is a tremendous asset for this community. It is visited far and wide. It is not just the local community, it is this entire region. It is a meeting place for a lot of people for work. You know what happens when it’s a meeting place, everybody drives their own car.”

Figus also noted that the pine trees do nothing for the privacy for the residents.

“Have them put in spruce trees that will give them a better buffer, because it’s no privacy whatsoever to those people,” Figus said. “And you need a caveat such as a guarantee that these trees will live more than a year. They started putting mulch there, which doesn’t do anything because the damage is already done to those trees. So even though you’re giving us trees for privacy and much better trees, please put some kind of guarantee on them.”

Nate Anderson also spoke about the trees dying and is opposed to the parking lot.

“I’m here to ask you to provide some protection to the neighborhood,” Anderson said. “I’m sure you’ll give him some parking, but please respect the neighborhood and have some trees that live.”

Mergens noted that Oliver’s plans to expand by 1,000 square feet.

“Oliver’s did not build out that 1,000 square feet out of concerns about the bridge,” Mergens said. “By the time the bridge was done, it was clear that parking was an issue. I think Oliver’s has shown to be an asset to the city of Shoreview, and I think it’s an asset for the entire community.”

Council Member Emy Johnson said that the job of the City Council is to focus on policy.

“What I’m sensing tonight through our residents is a continued conflict that is existing in the neighborhood with the business owners and the neighbors,” Johnson said. “So from a policy standpoint, the staff has put forth a recommendation and that is our job as leaders to align with and ask questions of staff. That doesn’t preclude us from recommending that there be continued conversation and dialogue.”

Council Member Cory Springhorn said it makes sense to have additional parking, and he wants to make it unobtrusive as possible for the neighborhood.

“I’m glad to see that we’ve got better options for lighting, because I know that had been a sticking point with the parking lot lighting over the last six or seven years,” Springhorn said. “I hope we can continue to be encouraging creativity with the mix of trees and making sure that there is adequate buffering and sheltering and screening.”

Mayor Sue Denkinger said she understands the neighborhood’s concern, because parking will increase by 63%.

“Overall, I think there needs to be more parking and I understand both sides,” Denkinger said. “I think this is really important to to do this absolutely right.”

Council Members John Doan and Shelly Myrland also agree on the need for the parking addition.

“I like to think that we’re all neighbors and that we want to live together and be at least cordial,” Doan said. “I hope that we can figure

Timing is everything. It hadn’t been the best weather heading into the Easter weekend with snow, sleet, rain, wind and thunder, but we saved the best weather since mid November for this past weekend. Temperatures soared into the 60’s and winds died down a bit and Easter weekend was a winner. The warmer temperatures even persisted into the workweek. With big temperature fluctuations, it looks like colder temperatures for this weekend. Lake ice watch is on. Any predictions of when area lakes will clear?

Ramsey County’s first long-range transportation plan looks to the future

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Ramsey County is in the beginning stages of its all-abilities transportation plan.

The All-Abilities 2050 Transportation Plan was approved in 2016 by the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners. Its vision is to be “a vibrant community in which all are valued and thrive.”

“This all-abilities plan is looking to the year 2050, and it’s really a guiding document that’ll help the county plan their investment decisions,” said Samantha Matuke of TC2 (Transportation Collaborative Consultants). “So some of the key outcomes of this project will be a list of actual construction projects. So we want to prioritize what projects need to be done. Not just roadways, but multimodal transit.”

The four goals of the All-Abilities 2050 Transportation Plan are as follows:

• Identify projects and transportation solutions that are accessible to people of all ages and abilities.

• Engage with the community to learn about transportation experience and

needs.

• Utilize community input and technical analysis to define transportation goals and roadway, pedestrian, bicycle and public transportation solutions.

• Collaborate with other transportation agencies to support their priorities.

Matuke said the county is going to outline where it might need to do more research.

“This won’t be inclusive of everything,” Matuke said. “This is a high-level plan. So we do want to detail where we can do some future studies and also get into design standards in things like speed limit design.”

Matuke noted that the plan is for county roads, but there will be a collaboration with cities, MnDOT and Metro Transit.

“This plan is setting a long-term strategic vision for how Ramsey County will invest our multimodal transportation system,” said Scott Mareck, senior transportation planner.

“So that’s looking beyond our normal five-year construction program from that 2030 timeframe out to 2050 and looking at roads, bridges, transitways

and pedestrian facilities. We’re really looking at how we can best utilize our limited transportation funding to reach Ramsey County’s strategic goals for transit accessibility, improving crash rates, improving pavements and bridge conditions, transit accessibility and things of that nature.”

Mareck said there will be

opportunities for public engagement throughout the planning process over the next 12 months. There is also a community survey on the county’s website at http://bit.ly/3Zqnb8s on the transportation plan. It is open until Friday, April 14.
