Striving to make the world a better and healthier place BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

Area business owner patiently waiting for kidney and Shoreview. About three months after he purchased the business, Tuohy’s health problems began to spiral. It all started with a blister on his foot, which became infected. The infection ultimately reached his bone. Eventually, Tuohy had to have one of his toes amputated. He was in and out of the hospital with infections and decided in 2015 to have his left leg amputated below the knee to keep the infections at bay. “It was really the best thing

Ever since she was a little girl growing up in Shoreview, Anna Grace Hottinger has been self-motivated and remarkably focused on the things that are important to her, according to her mother Kathryn Hottinger. “As a parent, I’ve had to stand back and watch and support her in the things she takes a lead on. She finds a niche and she moves forward,” Kathryn said. “When she sets her sights on something, she just goes and gets it done. My job is to be her cheerleader, support her, and try not to get in her way.” When Anna Grace noticed that tobacco products such as e-cigarettes were growing in popularity among her peers, she decided to take action. She helped organize students to speak at the Shoreview City Council meetings to advocate for raising the age at which people can legally buy tobacco from 18 to 21. Recently, she gathered supporters to ban sales of all flavored tobacco, including men-

An area business owner who has always been there for the community now needs the community to be there for him. Farrell Tuohy, owner of Pizza Man & Corner Malt Shop in White Bear Lake, hopes he can find someone who is willing to give him one of their kidneys. He has been on dialysis for a little over a year now, and soon will be officially on the waitlist to receive a kidney.

“The prognosis for a person who has my situation and gets a living donor, they can live 20 to 40 years compared to being on dialysis for 10 years, which is like a prison sentence,” he said. “The average wait for kidney transplant is eight years. You get elevated on that list depending on how bad you get. The sicker you are, the higher you go on the list.” How it started Tuohy, 58, said he was a relatively healthy person for the majority of his life, but he

has always had diabetes. He was always careful to go to his yearly physicals, but many of the doctors didn’t take the time to talk to him or talk about his hypertension. “In today’s medicine, you are in and out. They don’t take the time to talk with you,” Tuohy said. “It just happened to be that one day I stumbled into a doctor that said, ‘Your kidney functions are depleted,’ and so I started listening to this doctor.” Tuohy purchased Pizza Man in 2013. The business serves customers in White Bear Lake, Mahtomedi, Hugo, Centerville

Time to celebrate with a Slice of Shoreview

After being canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Slice of Shoreview festival is coming back this summer with three days of fun for all generations. The festival is July 23-25 at Island Lake County Park, 3611 Victoria Street N., in Shoreview. According to Jacci Krebsbach, board chair of the Slice of Shoreview committee, organizers are still looking for art vendors and need sponsors. She noted the registration deadline has been extended until July 1. “Ad-

mission is free, parking is free, and we have a lot of free activities. We rely on our sponsors to help pay for those,” she said. “One of the things that sets us apart from other festivals is that we offer a free shuttle service,” she added. People can park in the Deluxe Corporation parking lot and take the free shuttle to Island Lake County Park. The Edina Realty north suburban office in North Oaks is underwriting the cost of the shuttles and agents from the Pam and Ally Wilson team —Brad Pitlick, Perry and Helen Nelson —will be driving the shuttles all weekend long. “That’s amazing, because

sometimes people don’t want to come to an event because it’s too far to walk. We don’t call it a senior shuttle, and there’s no tipping. It’s for anyone who wishes to use it,” Krebsbach said. “It’s really something that’s great for this event.” There will be a carnival, petting zoo, food vendors and free activities for young people, including face painting and art activities. Three bands are scheduled to perform: • Bad Girlfriends will perform on the stage Friday night
