Lexington Floral’s third-generation owner Allie Tempelis has reopened the shop with an eco-friendly and makerspace vibe.

Grandpa’s last hurrah: Time to hang up the safety vest

BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

Lexington Floral’s new owner plans to continue the shop’s three-generation reputation as Shoreview’s neighborhood flower shop.

Allie Tempelis recently bought the business from her mother, Barb Rose, who began the shop with her late father Glenn Rose in 1985.

Mayor Sandy Martin joined the family and Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce at a ribbon cutting for the store’s grand reopening June 1.

She remembers when the corner at Lexington Avenue and Cannon Avenue turned into a flower shop and has been a long-time customer who recommends the shop to residents. The all-occasion shop provides flowers for any celebration or memorial.

They have a reputation of not turning away any requests or ideas, said Rose, citing a recent 18-foot floral arch built for a wedding. “We will do anything — we love a challenge,” Tempelis added. The shop takes custom orders and offers pre-designed options created exclusively by the shop.

Once a month, the shop sells a “give-back bouquet,” of which 10 percent of profits are donated to a nonprofit. Tempelis said she’s taking local nonprofi t suggestions for the future.

Jerry Stradinger, a retired Ramsey County Sheriff has volunteered for about 12 years to direct traffic at Island Lake Elementary’s parent drop off.

makes sure students get to school safely.

Besides directing traffic, Grandpa Jerry has built relationships with students and families over the years, said Principal Todd Durand.

“His impact on individuals and families is far-reaching,” Durand said. “You can always count on him.”

Grandpa Jerry is a mentor for volunteerism, noted Noelle Nelson, the school’s administrative assistant.

“I think it is wonderful they get to see somebody in the community come and volunteer,” she said. “It starts everybody’s day off the right way.”

“What a great example he sets for community service,” Durand added.

“He loves what he is doing,” noted Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office School Resource Officer Abhi Sachdev, who patrols three area schools.

by Congress and private donations to breathe new life into the hotel.

Apps you should know about

T

he Sarasota County Sheriffs office issued a warning about smart phone “apps that parents should know about.”

It’s not that children shouldn’t have apps, rather parents should know what the app is normally used for. It’s a good awareness campaign and you might fi nd these apps alarming.

The nine apps include Bumble, described to be like the dating app Tinder except it requires the woman to make the fi rst contact.

Liveme is a live streaming video site that uses geo locations and allows users to earn coins as a way to pay minors for photos. ask.fm has a history with cyber bullying through anonymous Publisher’s question seeking.

Snapchat is said to be the most View popular app, where users can Carter Johnson post photos and videos that will disappear, and it also has a geo location allowing people to see the user’s location.

HOLLA is a video chat app connecting people around the world, and reviews mention explicit content and racial slurs.

Calculator% is a common secret app that helps people hide photos and video files and internet search history.

Kik allows direct contact to kids and children by bypassing normal messaging features.

Whisper is a network that promotes anonymous social groups to share secrets with strangers and also has a geo location function.

Hot or Not is a hook-up with strangers site.

Although only nine apps were reviewed, there are an estimated 3.8 million apps for Android users and more than 2 million in the Apples app store. As a family, we have allowed our children access to smart phones and iPads but we are struggling to know what apps to allow. We visit with other parents and decided to allow Snapchat. It tends to be the most universal app for connecting with friends and the content being communicated has seemed fairly innocent.

We do spot check their text messages and the apps they are using. I love the new apps that allow parents to shut down a child’s phone based on time or at a push of a button. It still allows phone access.

As a family, set a plan for screen time and electronic devices and stick with it. Technology will only become more prevalent and can have great benefits, but we need to help our kids navigate it appropriately while helping them develop good habits in areas like a healthy diet, exercise and studying.

Coffee shop etiquette Local coffee shops continue to be the new remote office, hang out and a place to grab free wifi. Providing an inviting, comfortable spot for groups to gather to discuss the issues of the day or a table for a traveling business person to plug in a laptop has probably done much to keep the coffee shop business alive.

However, the main thing keeping it alive is when the people who hang out for a couple of hours actually buy something, like coffee. I’ve spoken with many coffee shop operators who comment that their biggest challenge is selling goods to customers who sit and chat for hours or use their place as an office.

Some “customers” don’t even order a single cup of coffee or beverage. I heard about a customer who brought in a muffin from a neighboring establishment or their own tea bag and asked the server for a free cup of hot water.

The next time you meet up with a group of friends at your favorite neighborhood coffee shop, order a breakfast sandwich with your latte and leave tip.

The wildlife wake-up call

id you know that we’ve lost 50 percent of our songbirds in the last 40 years? And monarch populations have declined by 90 percent in the last two decades? And these are just showy species that people pay attention to.

What about all of the unsung heroes out there like native “solitary” bees that account for 90 percent of the bees worldwide and do the majority of the Lawnchair pollination? Their are Gardener populations declining too, but they are harder Dawn Pape to track because of their elusive nature.

How did we get here? It’s simple.

According to renowned professor of wildlife and entomology, Doug Tallamy, we’ve taken away 95 percent of our country’s native plants, or the plants that are indigenous to a region.

It seems that in adding urban spaces, agriculture, ornamental plants and lawn, we’ve forgotten our basic biology and done away with the primary producers — aka the food chain base.

In fact, 15,364 scientists from 184 countries signed “A Second Notice,” which is an open letter to humanity pleading for humans to cut greenhouse gases and

reverse the trend of collapsing biodiversity. They are seeking to raise awareness that a mass species extinction is currently happening. We are amidst the sixth mass extinction in the last 540 million years.

Even though this is certainly jaw-dropping, depressing news, there is good news. This enormous problem has a solution: bring back the native plants into our landscapes wherever possible. Since most of the land in our country is privately owned, individuals’ collective efforts can turn the situation around.

If you are wondering why the insects, birds and other wildlife can’t just use the greenery that abounds in our landscape, here is the short answer: the critters either don’t know how to use the plant, or the plant doesn’t provide adequate nutrition.

Ornamental plants are generally either non-native or cultivated for showy traits.

Since the last ice age over 10,000 years ago, plants and wildlife have evolved together and have formed intricate relationships that we are only just beginning to understand. According to Tallamy, a native plant supports 29 times more species than a non-native plant. Cultivated varieties of plants are engineered for specific showy traits that typically compromises the nectar and pollen in the blooms. Native wildflowers provide higher-

quality nectar and pollen to insects than cultivated varieties (“cultivars”) that are most popular at nurseries.

A logical starting point for restoring biodiversity would be to start with lawns. According to NASA satellite imagery, we currently have three times more area taken up by lawns than corn — and corn is our largest agricultural crop.

A question people could ponder is, “If the only time I go out on this lawn is to mow it, do I really need this space as grass?”

Perhaps it could be planted with native flowers, bushes and trees to serve a higher purpose of supporting our pollinators, that, in turn, sustain us. If you don’t want to learn how to garden with native plants, consider hiring someone to do it for you.

If this column was your wakeup call and you are wondering how to get started, a helpful website is BlueThumb.org.

The site has a list of nurseries, designers, installers, plant selector tool, grant information and DIY information too. You can also make a pledge to plant for pollinators and clean water.

Credit report security freezes and fraud alerts: what’s the difference?

W

ith major data breaches becoming too common, people often wonder how to stop criminals from stealing their identity, and rightly so. Identity thieves drain bank accounts, run up charges on lines of credit, and steal tax refunds.

It can take months to detect the damage and years to clean it up.

Placing a “fraud alert” or “credit freeze” on a credit report are two steps to protect against identity theft. But there are differences between fraud alerts and credit freezes.

Fraud alert A “fraud alert” requires creditors to verify a person’s identity before extending credit or opening a new account. For example, a lender may call a borrower before making a car loan. A fraud alert is an extra layer of authentication, not a prohibition on the opening of new accounts.

There are two main types of fraud alerts.

An “initial” fraud alert lasts for 90 days, but can be renewed. An “extended” fraud alert lasts for seven years, but can be removed sooner. An extended Movers and alert requires victims of identity theft to proShakers vide the credit bureaus with a copy of a report Lori Swanson of identity theft filed with law enforcement.

Both are free and temporary.

B h alerts l Once a request is made for a fraud alert with one credit bureau—Experian, TransUnion, or Equifax—the alert will be placed on credit reports with all three credit bureaus.

To request a fraud alert, contact the major credit bureaus toll-free as follows:

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Equifax: (888) 766-0008; TransUnion: (800) 680-7289; Experian: (888) 397-3742.

Credit freeze A “credit freeze” prevents new creditors from accessing a person’s credit report. Without seeing a person’s credit history, most creditors will not open new accounts or extend credit.

A credit freeze provides more protection than a fraud alert against fraudulent accounts being opened. Because credit freezes also block legitimate inquires, they require more planning than fraud alerts.

With a credit freeze in place, a person must use a PIN and contact the credit bureaus to lift or “thaw” the freeze before being approved for new credit. This process can take up to three business days. In a pinch, this could prevent a person from quickly getting credit.

Credit freezes stay in place until permanently lifted. Victims of identity

theft can freeze their credit reports without charge. Non-victims can freeze their credit report for a $5 fee. Victims of identity theft can thaw a credit freeze without charge. Non-victims may be charged a $5 fee.

For instructions on requesting a credit freeze, you may call the credit From bu- 5-22 reaus toll-free as follows: Equifax: (800) 349-9960; TransUnion: (888) 909-8872; Experian: (888) 397-3742.

STUDENT NEWS

On the second amendment

Recently, retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stevens and many other Democrats like him, have come out in support of repealing the 2nd Amendment. How many gun owning Democratic voters know about this? Many gun control supporters will say they only want to get rid of some of the guns.

But the supporters are not stating their true goal which is repealing the 2nd Amendment. Their methods of attaining this goal may be different, but that is their true goal. If you are a Democrat and have a gun, then how can you vote Democrat now? To be anti-gun is not a matter of just getting rid of some of the guns — it’s a matter of getting rid of all of the guns. Today, 66 percent of millennials agree that more concealed carry guns would make society safer. This is not the party of Democrats from 1963 when JFK (lifetime NRA member) pushed through tax cuts and said “Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.” If you do not want your guns confiscated completely, you must vote for the Republican ticket now in 2018 for the Federal Senate, State House of Representative and even your local City Council.

BUSINESS BRIFS New coffee shop opens

Dunn Brothers Coffee will open their newest location at 1160 West County Road E in Arden Hills June 25. Local owners are Greta and Adam Dvorak, and Tim and Molly Johnson.

“We wanted to open a shop because we believe in investing in the joy of people, and we fi nd coffee to be a specific way to practice that,” said Greta Dvorak. “When I was twelve years old, my mom said to me ‘You have to learn to like coffee, so you can sit with grandma.’ Thus, my love of coffee began. We are hopeful to create a space where people want to gather and impact one another for good.” Greta and Adam Dvorak live and work in Arden Hills. Greta’s parents, Tim and Molly Johnson, are partnering with the Dvoraks and live in New Brighton.

The Arden Hills location features Infinite BlackTM Nitro Cold Press Coffee on tap, a full breakfast and lunch menu, along with all the current Dunn Brothers Coffee espresso, tea and coffee favorites.

This location is equipped with an on-site roaster.

The Minneapolis-based coffee franchise has over 80 locations in eight states.

RETIREMENT: Volunteering for safety FROM PAGE 1

“He is doing it from his heart.”

Grandpa Jerry said he was inspired toward volunteerism by Bob Fletcher, who was Ramsey County Sheriff when he worked for the office.

When he noticed his grandchildren’s school had an unsafe drop-off area, he volunteered to direct traffic. He also suggested the bus dropoff be moved to the back of the school, which it was. The move made the parent drop-off area in the front of the school turn from hectic to safe, Durand said.

What Grandpa Jerry did in partnership with the school has become popular across the nation over the last decade — off-duty police officers greeting at the front of schools.

Today, the officers provide more than traffic safety, he noted. He has presented himself as a willing decoy to any would-be school shooters wearing his bright “sheriff” vest.

“If somebody comes to shoot, the fi rst thing they will shoot is me,” he said. “The good Lord willing, nothing will ever happen here but you just never know.”

Having already faced tragedy during his patrol days is what inspires Grandpa Jerry to sacrifice himself for the children. In the 70s as a newer deputy he received a call to a fatal accident — it was his own parents. But that didn’t stop him from serving with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office for 26 years.

While trying to protect the public, he’s faced lots of ferocious humans — he’s been shot, stabbed, had a hole bitten in his stomach and a tooth knocked out.

He’s worn cowboy boots all his life.

Grandpa Jerry is retiring from his volunteer post now that his last grandchild is moving on to Chippewa Middle School next year. He said the middle school asked him to direct traffic there but

it is time to hang up his safety vest.

Island Lake Elementary staff held a party for Grandpa Jerry June 1 and students and parents dropped off cards and gifts while he directed traffic.

Durand said the school hopes another grandpa-type will step up to fi ll the role Grandpa Jerry has had at the school.

Students and parents thanked Grandpa Jerry for his volunteer safety work.

Blooming lilacs signal morel season in Minnesota

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS MANAGING EDITOR

Deer ticks do not deter mushroom hunter Dave Lenz from searching for the delectable morel.

He goes prepared into the woods wearing clothes sprayed with permethrin, a head net, DEET and a tick remover in his backpack.

The fungus forager also wears a yellow safety vest if he’s tromping through southern Minnesota woods, so as not to be mistaken for a wild turkey, and carries a pair of binoculars for scouting potential spots from a distance.

Those morel spots are a secret the White Bear Lake mushroom expert is reluctant to share.

The distinctive fungi with the honeycombed appearance are among the most popular edible mushroom. They pop up from the forest floor usually near dead elm trees in mid-May, when the lilacs bloom. The window is brief for hunting the morel, considered an amateur’s mushroom, Lenz said, since they’re easy to identify.

Finding morels is just the fi rst step for Lenz, who is as at home in the kitchen as he is in the woods.

“I love to cook. It’s my second hobby,” he said.

Unfortunately, wife Marlene is allergic to morels, but Lenz is always looking for friends and neighbors to share a mushroom recipe.

His culinary skills are enhanced by the fresh herbs Lenz harvests from their small, but abundant garden. They grow cilantro and tomatoes for salsa, chamomile for tea before bedtime, mint for mojitos, oregano for marinara, and the list goes on.

Lenz dehydrates some of his morel bounty for long-term storage. When he’s ready to use them, the mushrooms are soaked in milk to rehydrate. “The

Wild morels should be cooked on medium until the moisture is released. Dave Lenz, left, uses butter, shallots and garlic to saute the mushrooms before adding them to risotto in a new recipe. At right, there are five morels in this woodlands picture. Can you spot them?

DAVE LENZ | SUBMITTED

milk really absorbs the flavor so I use it to make a gravy,” Lenz said. “It’s really good on chicken and steak.”

Not only is Lenz a dedicated hunter and connoisseur of mushrooms, he is also a life-long musician. The singer/ guitarist entertains at Manitou Grill several Tuesdays a month. He also organizes the music stage and performs for White Bear Relay for Life, an annual cancer fundraiser that involves the whole Lenz family. Marlene has headed up the July Relay the last couple years as co-chair with help from their two children, Morgan and Madeline, and Madeline’s boyfriend.

This fall, Lenz will head to the woods looking for mushrooms like black trumpets, chanterelle, hen-of-the-woods, lobster and porcini. He knows just where to find each species and has no qualms about identifying and eating them.

Minnesota is home to as many as

10,000 mushroom species, of which perhaps 40 to 50 are edible. Some are extremely toxic, particularly the deadly Amanita bisporigera, or “destroying angel.” The pale species is responsible for the majority of deaths from mushroom poisoning.

A neighbor got Lenz interested in mushroom hunting, he said. “I started reading up and following a Minnesota mushroom group online. Then one day I was at a park near Fleet Farm and ran into another mushroom hunter, Mike Kempenich. He is the most sought-after mushroom expert in the state.”

The two became friends, with Kempenich going on to launch a company called The Gentleman Forager. Kempenich is opening a restaurant in the old Schmidt brewery called Keg & Case Market, Lenz added. It will have a wild food store called Forest to Fork and a small on-site growing chamber

to provide customers fresh, exotic mushrooms. A look online shows the store will also carry foraging supplies, books, tools and custom-made Gentleman Forager knives. The store opens mid June at 928 West Seventh St. Lenz’ favorite mushroom? “The morel, but black trumpets are a close second,” he replied. “They have a sweet apricot smell and are best with salmon.” He also uses the mushroom to flavor white wine.

The Lenz family enjoys good food and take the time to make it from fresh ingredients foraged from woodlands and garden. “We love to cook for people and have them enjoy the cooking,” said Dave, who is always trying new recipes, especially for mushrooms. Marlene does the cleanup, noting that Dave “uses everything in the kitchen.” Not that she’s complaining.

depending on age. During her grand reopening weekend, the shop was filled with children making free fairy gardens.

The shop has always composted and recycled, Rose said. Even more eco-friendly measures have been added, such as biodegradable pots and vases made with recycled glass. The shop will also carry more preserved flowers as keepsake options instead of silk flowers, which is more eco-friendly. Tempelis will continue to buy local flowers and is pleased that several wholesale flower suppliers are starting to source more flowers in the U.S. She’s joining a petition for the floral industry to stop wrapping flowers in plastic.

Gift items available in the shop come from local makers or sustainable crafters. For example, she carries Essence One handcrafted, natural body products made by Shoreview resident Lauren VanScoy. One of her other favorites is her sister Jessica’s aromatherapy jewelry line, Moxie Malas.

The shop’s former bargain room has been transformed into a greenhouse where customers in grief from losing a family member can sit and sip coffee

while their arrangements are prepared. It also serves as a spot for floral inspiration with books. A bridal corner with jewelry made by a White Bear Lake artisan is also in the all-occasion shop.

Historical roots of the Rose family Rose plans to continue to help out on holidays and do outdoor landscaping at the shop. She’s been a florist since before ‘85 — she first worked at her brothers’ shop Rose Floral, which is still in Stillwater today. Her father Glenn helped her open her own shop in Woodbury before they opened Lexington Floral in Shoreview. Glenn was an electrical engineer for PAR Systems in Shoreview but always loved gardening, Rose said.

She operated in a building at County Road E and Lexington Avenue before buying the current building in the 1990s. Long ago, the building was a neighborhood convenience store. The fuse box still has signs pointing to the building’s history, such as “meat cooler” and “dairy.”

Over the years, Rose accomplished her goal to become the go-to community florist. “What I really loved was being the neighborhood florist,” Rose said.

She also enjoyed being part of people’s lives from birth to marriage to death.

The business has grown from three employees to over 20.

All of Rose’s three children — Jessica, Allie and Greyson — worked at the shop at some point. “The kids have grown up in it,” she noted. Rose never put any obligation on any of her children to take over the shop; she wanted them to pursue their own interests.

Tempelis started helping her mom in the shop as a teen and continued into her early 20s. She then worked at a salon before returning to work at the shop in 2012. She set her sights on taking over the family business after she and her husband’s attempts to start a rock-climbing gym faced challenges.

“I love it and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else,” she said. “I feel any moment in life is just enhanced with the beauty of flowers.”

“It’s an honor, honestly, to pass on your legacy,” Rose said. Tempelis said she is proud to be a third-generation owner, especially of a woman-owned business.

She lives just a few blocks away in her mother’s old

home. The mother and daughter duo may have a lot in common but they do differ on at least one thing — their favorite flower. Rose’s is the rose, of course. For Tempelis, it is the white Casa Blanca lily.

Mustangs’ Fixsen is state pole vault champ again with two record leaps

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mounds View pole vaulter Julia Fixsen broke the state meet record as she captured her second gold medal in the event on Saturday.

The lanky junior soared 13-9 1/4 on her third attempt at the height, after easily clearing 12-6 and 13-4 — which broke the previous record of 13-3 — in the Class AA competition at Hamline. The second-place vault was 12-0.

Fixsen broke her own overall state record of 13-9 set in late March in an indoor meet.

She then raised the bar to 14-1 1/4, and missed twice.

She was about to try that height again when a rain delay

occurred. After the delay, it was still too wet to vault safely.

As a freshman, Fixsen was state runner-up with 13-0, behind Adrianna Jacobs of Rochester Century, whose 13-3 was the meet record Fixsen broke Saturday. Fixsen was champion with 11-6 last year.

Fixsen also placed third in high jump with 5-7 on Saturday with two other girls clearing 5-8, which is Fixsen’s career best. She was second in high jump as a freshman with 5-7 and didn’t qualify last year.

Mustang senior Emma Bangert reached fi nals in the 800 and placed ninth with 2:16.30, after 2:16.09 prelim.

Last year, she placed second at state with 2:16.45 after a personal-best 2:13.25.

Mustang track has two state champ hurdlers; 4x400 also wins and team places second

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mounds View boasted both hurdles state champions, along with the mile relay champion, and finished a close second as a team at the state Class AA track meet.

Mustang junior Josh Sampson won the 110 high hurdles and placed third in the 300 intermediates — while senior Joel Smith repeated as 300 intermediates champion.

“I don’t know if that has ever been done before, two hurdles champs from the same school,” said Ross Fleming, longtime Mustang coach.

Both ran on the champion 4x400 relay team along with Jared Herbert and Micah Smith.

Michael Fahim, senior, placed second in the discus, while junior Austin Streit was third in the 1600, breaking a 33-yearold school record. Micah Smith was sixth in the 400.

Wayzata won with 75 points, with Mounds View right behind at 68, in action Friday and Saturday at Hamline in St. Paul.

“This team was special,” said Fleming, who’s headed one of the state’s top programs for three decades. “These athletes have high character and self-discipline.

They are driven. They were very cohesive as a team.”

Joel Smith, who missed a month with a leg injury and returned two weeks ago, said he felt good about the hurdling duo’s chances.

“I was confident about (Sampson) winning the 110. I was not as confident myself after having the 11th best seed,” said Smith, who placed eighth in the highs. “But for the intermediates, I thought

He placed second overall. we could finish one-two.”

Smith, who won the 300 with 37.81 last year, kept his crown with a 38.05 in the finals, after winning sectionals with 38.21.

Sampson came in at 38.99, just behind Osseo’s Tyler Sealock (38.79).

Sampson won the highs in 14.60, improving from 14.80 at section and 14.71 in the prelims.

He lunged over the final hurdle and fell on the track, just ahead of Waconia’s Caden Turner (14.65).

Smith’s eighth-place time was 15.28. He didn’t reach finals last year.

Both champs credited a higher power.

“I was confident, and just trusting in God. All glory to God,” Smith said.

“On the second for third hurdle, l went way over, and I fell behind,” said Sampson, about the 110, “and then, I got a push from God. I don’t know what He did.”

They also praised the efforts of hurdles coach Mike Goldman.

Asked about having two such talented hurdlers on the same team, Smith said, “It’s fantastic to have a brother like Josh to run with, work out with and joke with.”

Smith also has an actu-

al brother on the team as Micah is his twin. They plan to continue in track at Bethel.

The 4x400 race that closed the meet was a thriller with Joel Smith’s 48-second anchor leg pulling out the gold in 3:19.06, with Edina next at 3:19.64.

Fahim, in his final meet as a Mustang before becoming a Minnesota Gopher, earned silver in discus with 161-0, behind Jay Nelson of Detroit Lakes (166-8).

“Michael was called for foot foul on his first throw, which would have won state,” Fleming said.

“It was really a close call.”

Fahim, who threw 156-1 at the section and had his PR of 162-6 placing second at the state true-team team, made a big jump this year, after qualifying for state twice previously but not reaching finals.

Streit blazed home in 4:15.72, almost six seconds under his section time, to place third in the 1600 meters. He broke the Mustang record of 4:16.9 set by Jeff Taylor in 1985.

“Austin ran three 65’s (seconds), and then a 60, which was amazing,” Fleming said.

Shocker: Mustang pole-vault star was blanked at section BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

One of the best high school pole-vaulters in Minnesota history, Calvin Ciganik, saw his career end with three failed attempts at the Section 5AAA meet May 30.

Rather than add to the state gold medal he won as a sophomore with 15-0 and the silver he won as a junior with 14-0, Ciganik, who’s gone as high as 15-8 this year, didn’t qualify for his last state meet, missing three times at 14-3.

“It’s all right. I’ll move on. I’ve still got a lot to look forward to,” said Ciganik, who will continue in the sport at the United States Air Force Academy.

Ciganek, who suffered a back injury late in the season, vaulted 15-8 at the Hamline Elite Meet on April 27, second-best all-time in the state and matching the state meet record. He cleared 15-6 in the section true-team May 8.

At the sectional at Hamline, he started at 14-3; he normally starts at 14-6.

“I couldn’t gauge it today,” Ciganik

said, adding that he felt out of synch, also taking a longer run than usual.

He admitted he “got mad” when he kept falling on the bar.

The surprise section champion, Bailey Kwang of Spring Lake Park, went 14-3, and a week later, Alec Wittman of East Ridge won state with 14-6.

The section competition was held indoors due to threat of rain, which was a factor.

“It’s the same for everybody, they are all vaulting indoors, but for the guys who go 14 or 15 feet, it’s a different sensation being that far up in the air indoors,” coach Ross Fleming noted. “I guarantee you, if it had been outdoors, he’d be in the state meet again.”

Ciganik was injured just before true-team state while practicing on the Mounds View’s back-up pole vault area which has four pads pushed together for landings, and he fell “right between two of them.”

However, Ciganik insisted he “felt fi ne” at the section and his back wasn’t a factor. His only concession was to start three inches lower.

The Mustangs celebrated after beating Totino-Grace 17-10 and 4-0 for the Section 5AAAA crown.

“I’m really excited, for sure. It’s the first time we’ve gone in my three years on varsity. We’ll play Stillwater, and we’ve lost to them twice, but we are up for it.”

Koehn is one of 13 Mustang seniors who, coach Mark Downey says, are “very tight; the truly have that elusive thing we all call ‘chemistry.’ They understand and embrace their individual roles, and they genuinely root for each other.”

Koehn, John Solfest and Christophers each had two singles and Will Rogers a double in the 4-0 win as the runs were manufactured station to station — in stark contrast to game one.

That onslaught was led by Bateman going 5-for-6 (three RBIs, two runs).

Traczyk 4-for-5 (four RBI’s), Koehn 3-for-5 (four RBIs, three runs), Jake Christopherson 3-for-5 (two RBIs), Lawson 2-for-3, and Cole 2-for-4 (two

runs). Pitching were Bateman, Scott Kalthoff, Kyle Folska and Cole Stenstrom. Traczyk had 10 RBIs in the sectionals.

In the 10-3 win over Irondale, Joshua Bonde (coming off two straight shutouts) pitched the distance, backed by three double plays and hot bats by the 3-4-5 hitters — Koehn (3-for-3, four runs, two steals), Traczyk (single, three walks, two runs, RBI) and Jepko (3-for-3, HBP, two RBIs, two steals).

Mounds View was just 9-8 late in the regular season, but turned things around with a 4-2 win over conference leader Cretin-Derham Hall, followed by three shutout wins, including their section opener. They lost to Totino-Grace 3-2 in 13 innings in the third round of playoffs, but earned another shot at the Eagles by tumbling Irondale.

Mounds View entered the tennis state tournament with realistic hopes of the program’s fourth championship. It didn’t happen but they came close.

The Mustangs brought home the third-place trophy after close, hardfought matches in Class AA June 5-6 at the University of Minnesota.

“The kids played unbelievably well and fought to the end. We were two points away from being back into the state final again,” coach Scott Sundstrom refl ected.

The No. 2 seeded Mustangs (18-2) got a doubles sweep to edge unseeded Eastview 4-3 in the fi rst round with Michael Cao/Christo Alex, Kenneth Diao/Danny Zamow, and Peter Culp/ Eli Grayson all prevailing along with Bjorn Swenson in singles.

In the semifinals, down 3-1 against No. 3 Rochester Century, with Christo Alex/Hank Trondsen winning No. 1 doubles, the Zephyrs rallied with third-set wins from Swenson and Culp/Grayson on the main courts to pull even.

Meanwhile, in No. 3 doubles, on the other side of the tarp, unseen by the main audience, Diao and Culp won

their fi rst set and led 6-5 in the second set, but Century’s Henry Kruse and Talon Mehta pulled out the decisive match 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-1.

“You know you win some of those close ones and you lose some of them; that’s why you play the matches, and that’s why the state tournament is so exciting,” Sundstrom said.

In the third-place match, Mounds View got a singles sweep from Petro Alex, Swenson, Michael Dao and Christo Alex, along with Diao/Zamow taking 2-dubs, to beat Wayzata 5-2.

“We were sad that we lost, but regrouped nicely to beat a good Wayzata team for third place,” Sundstrom said. “It was an excellent season. No regrets. I am very proud of our team.”

Swenson, eighth-grader who won the section singles title, went 3-0 in state duals. He also won a singles match before losing in the second round, as did the doubles team of Cao and Christo Alex.

Blake, after dominating Class A for years, moved up to Class AA this year and won the whole thing, edging Century 4-3 in the fi nals after blanking Duluth East and Wayzata 7-0 in the first two rounds.

Mounds View Science Olympiad team achieves national awards

BY ALEXIS LARSON THE VIEWER

The Mounds View Science Olympiad team competed at the 2018 Science Olympiad National Tournament at Colorado State University last month, finishing in fifth place overall. The team, consisting of 15 competitors and a handful of alternates, committed hundreds of hours of studying and practicing throughout the year to gain a spot at the national competition and achieve their high ranking.

Science Olympiad is a nationwide organization that holds tournaments and other events with a mission to spread a contagious passion and better understanding for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) among students and teachers. For competitions, students select events to participate in among the 23 events that Science Olympiad offers, with many topics such as genetics, chemistry, physics and technology. Mounds View High School’s Science Olympiad team consists of many talented individuals who learn, study and practice throughout the year on their events of interest.

To achieve the success that they did, students on the team invested countless hours into rigorous preparation throughout the year. Junior Aarthi Vijayakumar, who participated in three events — rocks and minerals, forensics, and remote sensing — said she spent around 25 to 40 hours each week practicing and studying.

“Forensics consisted of several weekly lab practice sessions after school, where we practiced identifying all the different types of evidence we could be given and did several practice tests where we had to solve crime cases,” she said. “For rocks, we practiced identifying a list of 100 different rocks and minerals and studied lots of different

topics within geology to prepare. Remote sensing consisted of practicing a lot of image analysis and calculations.”

Others on the team also made similar time commitments devoted to their areas of study so that the team could earn a top spot at nationals.

Although the competitors invested hundreds of hours into preparation for nationals, their events did not always run perfectly.

“The setup was really tight so it was easy to knock evidence over. During the start of the competition, I accidentally spilled a whole vial of the evidence and wasn’t able to recover most of it, and I had to dive under the table to recover some of the plastics as well,” said junior Rebecca Li, who partnered with Aarthi

Vijayakumar for the forensics event.

As for the Hovercraft event, team member junior Eliot Kim also encountered a bit of difficulty as well. “For the hovercraft, the first run went really badly. It got stuck on the side of the wall, and it was a complete fail. I had to make a really on-the-fly, special adjustment. I had to move something on the hovercraft itself to the side and had within 10 seconds make up a solution.

But after I made that switch, it worked perfectly and went really well,” Kim said. Despite experiencing some minor setbacks in their respective events, Li and Aarthi Vijayakumar placed first in forensics, and Kim and junio Abhi Vijayakumar placed first in hovercraft.

This season recently finished with the team achieving a great amount of success, but goals for next year have already began to brew within the team.

Students hope to improve from their high results this year in the next season. “Next year I want to, overall, help our team improve at nationals. This year we got fifth; next year hopefully we can get first or second,” Kim said.

The current team members also have goals that invest in the underclassmen so that the future of Science Olympiad will have both a strong foundation and a meaningful legacy. “My main goal for next year is to help the underclassmen improve. Because of the seven senior limit rule, some well-deserving people

won’t be able to be on the team next year. Thus, it is even more important that as experienced competitors, we help the underclassmen by sharing techniques or good resources or study tips,” Li said.

Likewise, Aarthi Vijayakumar recognizes the importance of mentoring the future competitors. “I know we have a lot of underclassmen who are already rising to the challenge that being a nationally competitive team presents, and I hope I can share my experience so far with them and help them reach their goals as well,” she noted.

Overall, the Science Olympiad team’s hard work has allowed them to continually achieve success throughout the years, with each year proving to be more victorious than the prior year.

The team placed fifth this year, seventh in 2017, and tenth the year before.

Irondale to join Mounds View in Suburban East Conference After next school year, Irondale and Mounds View will compete in the same athletic conference.

Effective the 2019-20 school year, Irondale will leave the 14-member Northwest Suburban Conference and join Mounds View in the Suburban East Conference. The Suburban East Conference approved the move last month.

Decades ago, Irondale and Mounds View both competed in the North Suburban Conference, which later became known as the Twin Cities Suburban Conference. Irondale left the conference in the mid-1990s. But when it comes to any intra-district rivalries with Mounds View in the future, Irondale doesn’t expect significant changes.

“We currently play non-conference

contests with Mounds View in virtually every activity,” said Irondale Activities Director Chris Fink. “Our enrollment is comparable to other Suburban East schools, and we’re geographically aligned with them as well. The future of the Northwest Suburban Conference is likely to expand west of the metro adding schools like Buffalo and Rogers. Moving to the Suburban East keeps Irondale grounded in the metro and the east metro, in particular.

Joining Suburban East also brings the current nine-member conference to an even number of 10 teams, which is beneficial to the Suburban East from a scheduling standpoint.

“This move makes sense for everyone,” Fink said.
