This year’s engagement has increased and locals are making 96% more nominations than last year.

The ‘best of’ contest allows locals to pick their favorites, ranging from breweries to area businesses and everything in between.

Winners will be printed in a special section of the Shoreview Press the week of Oct. 4 and also posted online.

Residents speak-up on new County Road J, 35E interchange

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR

Come 2025, the County Road J and I-35E interchange could look drastically different than it does today.

County Road J from Centerville Road to Otter Lake Road – including the interchange with I-35E – is scheduled for reconstruction in 2025.

Ramsey County is leading the project in partnership with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, Anoka County, White Bear Township, North Oaks and Lino Lakes. Two watershed districts, the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Vadnais Lake Water Management Organization are also involved.

The existing I-35E and County Road J interchange –and the surrounding area – has safety, congestion, and access issues that impact pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists.

Additional development is expected near the interchange in the next five years, which will increase traffic and worsen safety issues.

Three areas are targeted for improvement include:

• The I-35E and County Road J interchange.

• County Road J from Centerville Road to Otter Lake Road.

• Centerville Road from County Road J to North Ash Street.

“A major reason for the project was we wanted to

make that a full interchange and then also provide better pedestrian accommodations crossing the interstate,” said Project Manager Joey Lundquist of Ramsey County. “We talked with quite a few of the big businesses right there, they have people coming from the north that will appreciate being able to get off there versus having to get off up at County Road 14 and come down.”

The project is estimated to cost $20 to $25 million. Lundquist said at this point, the project is fully funded, with funds coming from regional solicitation money, MnDOT and local participation (cities/counties).

INTERCHANGE: Reconstruction of County Road J & 35E scheduled to start in 2025

FROM PAGE 1

Up to this point, there have been multiple opportunities for community engagement. From December 2021 to January 2022, an online comment map was up and running on the project website for community members to offer feedback on safety, pedestrian and bicyclist access, congestion and access to businesses and neighborhoods.

A virtual open house was also held in September 2022 along with a StoryMap, which allowed the community to comment on the eight design concept alternatives being considered.

Lundquist says up to this point, many of the comments the county has received are from people who do not like roundabouts. The county also received a lot of comments about avoiding the conservation easement that runs west of 20th Avenue and north of County Road J.

“In the first round of the StoryMap we were looking at a few options that bisected that (the conservation easement) We definitely got feedback that people didn’t like that,” she explained. “So, the option we are left with we are trying to just make it in the corner versus impacting it significantly.”

At this point, “alternative 1” has been selected as the preferred plan to proceed with prelimi-

nary design and a more detailed analysis. According to the project website, this plan performed better than others based on technical evaluation criteria, MnDOT and county assessment, public feedback and the goal of minimizing impacts to the environment and areas protected by a land trust.

“(This option) had the most support from everybody,” Lundquist said. “It works well with the conservation easement, and it should move traffic well. Everybody seems to be on board with it as being the best option.”

The preferred plan would involve one bridge over I-35E and four roundabouts.

“I think the way the project is recommended, resolves all issues and provides a long desired full north and south access to I-35E,” said Anoka County Commissioner Jeff Reinert. “The roundabouts will eliminate wait times, and keep traffic moving, while mitigating speed issues and safety concerns on Centerville Road. It’s a good plan.”

Residents were given an option to weigh in on the plan at a recent open house.

White Bear Township resident Marla Amborn lives on Otter Lake Road. “There is a lot of traffic as it is right now on Otter Lake Road and

Maplewood Mall heading to auction block in February

A longtime destination for shoppers in the area will soon be for sale. The Maplewood Mall, located at 3001 White Bear Ave. N. in St. Paul, will be up for an online auction through RI-Marketplace starting at 11 a.m. Feb. 13 and going until 1 p.m. Feb. 15, 2023. The bidding will start at $7.5 million. The

certainly this will create more… I like to ride my bike and walk our dog along there,” she said.

“The Otter Lake area is designated as a regional park, but it doesn’t seem to me that the way this is being designed takes that into account.”

She added that she did think the roundabout option would make sense on the Centerville side in front of the businesses, but she didn’t think it would be necessary on the Otter Lake side.

Mary Osterlund of White Bear Township said she was not in favor of the preferred option. She questioned whether there was enough space to make roundabouts.

“I think the least intrusive, the least amount that can be done to improve the situation but not impinge on all of the

auction is an opportunity for a local or regional owner to buy a shopping center that includes nationally known tenants such as Barnes & Noble, H&M and Shoe Dept. Anchor tenants include JCPenney, Kohl’s and Macy’s. The twofloor, 321,217-square-foot mall was built in 1974 and renovated in 2018.

land around it is what I would be in favor of,” she said.

Linda Meyer, of White

Bear Township, said, “It’s been a long time coming … it’s time.” She said she was especially looking forward to being able to hop right on the freeway instead of having to drive to County Road 14 every time she wants to get on the interstate.

Lundquist explained that the project is still in the preliminary design phase. “We have worked through a lot of stuff to get where we are at,” she said. “We think we are on the right track.”

The project team is working on completing the Interstate Access Modification Report currently, which needs to be betted by MnDOT and the Federal Highway

Administration. The plan is to start final design this fall, with final design plans ready at the end of 2024. They are aiming for construction in 2025.

Community members will likely have another opportunity to weigh in on the project over the winter with another open house.

The eagle has landed

A

Publisher’s View

We watched from about 100 feet away as the team cleared brush and prepped a low lying tree as a possible perch for the young eagles. The first eagle was released and flew about chest height right at us before circling back and landing right back where it was rescued from. We were in such awe that most of us missed the release of the second eagle, which quickly hid in the trees.

We have been in contact with the landowner and have learned that the eagle parents have been circling the area and seen with fish in tow. It seems the release is off to a good start.

If you're interested in raptors, check out the good work being done by the Raptor Center. If you ever encounter a raptor in need, keep a safe distance and call the Raptor Center durring regular business hours 612-624-4745; they also have an emergency after hours link on their website. As always when out enjoying nature, hiking, biking, boating or birding, it is critical to respect wildlife, as well as private property.

We hope readers enjoy the photos online at presspubs.com.

few weeks ago one of our Bethel University interns, Sebastian Studier, reported the story of a distressed young eagle who was rescued by local falconoer Frank Taylor and brought to the U of M Raptor Center. The eagle is believed to have strayed from it's nest and was found partially spread out on the ground, showing signs of overheating, dehydration and trouble eating. Once the Raptor Center took in the eagle, they ran a series of tests to make sure it was free of viruses and parasites and then began the process of recovery. Once the raptor was strong enough to be released, the center coordinated with Taylor and the landowner for a release. Friday morning we received a call from Taylor that the eagle would be released Friday night, dependent on weather. We picked up Paul Dols and a few local residents by pontoon and kept in touch with Taylor, who was on another pontoon with staff from the Raptor Center. We were surprised to see two large, soft-sided crates on their boat, and learned the Raptor Center brought along another orphaned juvenile eagle they planned to rehome with the other one. Apparently eagles are known to take in stray babies.Slice of Shoreview celebrates 30 years at Island Lake Park

Among other activities you’ll find inflatables, a free slip and slide, caricatures, a petting zoo, bingo, and both a sand volleyball tournament and classic car show on Sunday. Food and a vendor fair also are available throughout the weekend.

This year the Slice of Shoreview celebrates its 30th year at Island Lake Park. The Slice is Shoreview’s opportunity to celebrate our community, our residents and what makes us unique. Many children who attended the Slice 30 years ago are now bringing their own children to this intergenerational event which takes place Friday, July 21, to Sunday, July 23.

It is amazing that a planning committee of 10 people, made up of residents and city staff, is the core group that coordinates Slice activities each year. There are also scores of volunteers who clean the park, ensure that recycling is optimal (even of food scraps), staff booths, and ensure the public safety of attendees. Their efforts make this celebration possible and are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

While a scheduling conflict by the provider resulted in no carnival rides this year, there are new activities

• Limited to 350 words.

• Submissions must Include a full name, address and daytime phone number for verification.

• Letter writers must live, work or have another connection to Press Publications coverage area.

• Letter writers are limited to six letters per year and at least

Many Shoreview businesses and organizations sponsor this event and their contributions are greatly appreciated to provide free activities and cover event related costs. New sponsors are always welcome. Thanks to those who sponsor the Slice, admission, parking, music and other activities are free.

Fireworks over the lake take place both Friday and Saturday nights and live music takes place on Friday night, Saturday afternoon, Saturday night and Sunday.

The Slice of Shoreview parade will again be held at 10 a.m. Saturday morning on Victoria St. between County Road D and Island Lake Park. Having participated in the parade for six years, I so enjoy the experience of walking the parade route and

seeing families, friends and neighborhood groups along the parade route waving, some waiting for candy and simply enjoying being together.

As in past years, the Tourde-Trails bike ride will be held on Sunday during the Slice of Shoreview. Check the Slice of Shoreview website for details. Despite the sale of the Deluxe Corporation property, parking continues to be available in the parking lot across from Island Lake Park. For those who needing transportation, a shuttle will be offering rides from Shore 96 (please check with them on times). And while we attend for fun or for our favorite activities, the Slice is truly an event that celebrates community pride and builds community. The Slice of Shoreview has a feel of a small-town celebration even in a city of nearly 27,000 people. Whether you are a resident or a visitor from another community, you are welcome to join in our celebration at Island Lake Park where all generations have come together for 30 years to proudly celebrate our Shoreview community.

Flaherty’s Bowl gets an upgrade just in time for summer

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

If you are traveling along Snelling Avenue in Arden Hills, you most likely will drive by America’s oldest familyoperated bowling alley. One can’t help but notice the yellow construction tape and orange cones surrounding what used to be the patio and outdoor space.

The construction going on at Flaherty’s Bowl is for a new outdoor space that will hopefully bring new life to the business just in time for the summer months. Fourthgeneration owner Adam Flaherty said that the old

patio “wasn’t very big and kind of ugly” and they are planning to give it a makeover. The patio will no longer be a concrete slab, but paver blocks. Some of the

new features included in the renovation will be a pergola, a waterfall feature, a gas fireplace with seating, an area for live music and artificial turf for cornhole.

In Vino Veritas: Couple opens Shoreview’s first wine bar

BY SEBASTIAN STUDIER PRESS INTERN

Take a break from your phone, make real-life connections and sip some wine at In Vino Veritas, Shoreview’s new intimate wine bar.

Cory Morrison remembers the moment he knew he wanted to create In Vino Veritas.

It was Halloween night and he was at a small wine bar in Sauk Rapids with his wife Farzana. Farzana looked at Cory and said, “I could see us doing this.”

“That’s all I needed,” Cory said.

Cory says he and his wife Farzana stumbled into the wine bar business.

Cory was in the Navy and is a former electrician who never saw that as his passion, but he always knew it would pay the bills. But the dream of a wine bar has always been there for Cory. He always wanted to run his own business and at twenty-five, he wanted to start a bar in Amery, Wisconsin but did not have the money available for a down payment.

Farzana worked for 22 years in corporate America as a program manager and submitted her resignation just days after the wine bar’s opening.

The couple feels blessed to run their business in Shoreview, an “amazing” city where all the other business owners came together and supported the couple during their opening process.

The couple felt particularly welcomed by Doug McCulloh, the owner of the Winkin Rooster restaurant across the street who is one of the business owners who has helped without being asked.

“Shoreview is all about local owned,” Cory said. “They’re all about supporting their own, and I feel blessed to be in this area.”

Farzana was able to put her creativity to work when designing the relaxed atmosphere of the bar.

In Latin, the phrase “In Vino Veritas” means “In wine, there is truth”.

“The whole vibe and inspiration of this place is that we want to get to the truth,” Farzana said.

Farzana believes that the couple is trying to get away from the online culture existing in today’s society and would like their customers to have truthful, meaningful, face-to-face conversations inside of the bar. The couple hopes people can get turn off their phones and get the “truth” rather than the false reality that exists online.

“COVID really screwed up communi-

cation with people. People don’t get out there and shake hands anymore. They don’t say hi. They just keep their head down, texting on their phone,” Cory said. “Personal communication between people is what I wanted when I started this.”

In Vino Veritas is located at 1080 County Road E. West in Shoreview. Hours are 3-10 p.m. Tuesday-Thursday and Sunday

New Events

New events coming to 30th anniversary of the Slice of Shoreview

BY SEBASTIAN STUDIER PRESS INTERN

All are welcome to take in a “slice” of Shoreview’s community this weekend, July 21-23.

This year’s festival will feature lots of old fun but will also include some new and exciting items.

One activity new to the festival this year is “incredible inflatables” which will be featured in the south parking lot from 4 to 9 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.

“This includes bungee trampolines, a climbing wall, and other inflatables,” said Jacci Krebsbach, board chair of the Slice of Shoreview committee. “There will be wristbands available for all these activities.”

This year’s slice will offer an “expanded food eating opportunity” according to Krebsbach, with additional food trucks being available in the south parking lot along with the new inflatables. Both items will replace the Stripes Carnival, which will not be able to appear this year.

Another new addition to the slice in 2023 is “water wars,” which will include “battle stations” with water balloon bucket launchers. Each team will fire water balloons back and forth at each other.

“This should be wonderful if the temperature proves like it normally does, in the 90s,” Krebsbach said.

The hole left by the absence of the carnival will also be filled by a new mini golf attraction this year.

In addition to the new items for visitors to enjoy, many events from past years will return.

The running of the melons event, sponsored by the Shoreview/Arden Hills Lions Club will return with a $500 Visa gift card grand prize. That event is set to take place at 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon on the hill by center stage. All participants must be 18 years old. The top 15 finishers will receive gift card prizes.  Fireworks will take place over the lake on Friday and Saturday night at 10 p.m. According to Krebsbach, the profits for the fireworks were made possible by the generated revenue from the “Taste of Shoreview” event in April sponsored by the Shoreview/Arden Hills Lions.

Bingo will take place in the south shelter each day from 5 to 9 p.m. on Friday, 12 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. The bingo event is sponsored by the Arden Hills/ Shoreview Rotary Club.

On Sunday, there will be a church service on the main stage from 10 to 11 a.m. sponsored by Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church and Hmong Peace Assembly of God.

The classic car and motorcycle show is back at the Slice this weekend, from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sunday, July 23.

People can vote for their favorites for the People’s Choice Awards. Trophies for the top 15 cars will be awarded at 3:30 p.m., including the Committee Choice Award and Best of Show.

A number of different music groups will be performing on the main stage including:

• Power of 10, which features dynamic vocalists, an awe-inspiring horn section and a superb rhythm section performing a mix of timeless and current hits and will take the stage on Friday night from 7 to 10 p.m.

• 23rd Hour, Kristin Danielson & Deb Zieman, who perform rock and soul music together and will take the stage Saturday afternoon from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.

• Branded Hot Country, four talented musicians with a shared love for country music will perform Saturday night from 7 to 10 p.m.

• The Arcades will bring a blast from the past and will play hits from the 50’s and 60’s Sunday afternoon from 12:30 to 3 p.m. in the North parking lot at the classic car show.

• Musician Tim Butler will finish off the weekend on Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. on the main stage.

The Slice is one of the few events in the area that is not financed by a beer ticket or parking.

Krebsbach says that the slice is unique because it is safe for all generations.

“If you talk to the Ramsey County sheriff or the cops that I work with, they sign up because it’s an alcohol-free event, so you don’t have problems at the end of the night,” Krebsbach said. “You have the entire community that wants to go because they feel safe.”

The Slice of Shoreview parade, sponsored by Tomas Companies, will be taking place at 10 a.m. on Saturday and will travel down Victoria Street.

Krebsbach believes that the parade will encapsulate what a smalltown parade should be. The parade represents a “slice” of Shoreview and a “slice” of the people and businesses of Shoreview.

“It’s a small town for a weekend,” Krebsbach said. “You’ve got the restaurants, you’ve got the church, you’ve got commerce, you’ve got entertainment, you’ve got food, so it’s what a small town would offer, and we do it for a weekend in this beautiful location on Island Lake.”

Free parking will be available in the neighborhoods surrounding Island Lake Park and in the Scannell parking lot located across the street.

Grand Marshal

Local floral shop grand marshal in Slice parade July 22

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

Lexington Floral & Boutique has been a part of the Shoreview community for the last 37 years until recently when second-generation shop owner, Allie Tempelis, made the difficult decision to permanently close the doors.

The family’s store is being honored as the parade’s grand marshal in this year at the Slice of Shoreview parade at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 22. Lexington Floral & Boutique has participated in the Slice since the celebration began thirty years ago.

When asked what it meant to be the grand marshal at the Slice, Tempelis said she is “incredibly honored to be given this title.”

Tempelis bought the store from her mother, Barb Rose, in 2019. In the following years, the business experienced change, growth, and community involvement.

When the pandemic hit, the community helped the business stay open even though it was operating without a storefront. But with the pandemic came some difficult times. The price of fresh products significantly increased and the changing market of the flower industry made business difficult to navigate. Soon after, road construction began on Lexington Avenue, which made it hard for customers to easily reach the store.

Tempelis said “at that time, we had been considering the idea of closing the business already. The reality was that people were unable to easily access our business during a time we had already been struggling.”

She said that closing the shop was one of the most difficult decisions she has had to make.

Before Tempelis made the decision to close the chapter on Lexington Floral, she talked to her most trusted mentors. Her grandfather, Glenn Rose, who originally opened the business in 1985 with her mom, helped influence her decision. She said that a lot of it was based on what he would have done due to his incredible business sense. She feels he would strongly agree with her decision.

At the Slice, Lexington Floral over the years has handed out over 60,000 roses to the community during the parade. Over the past five years under Tempelis’ ownership, the shop has been providing plant-related activities for all ages.

“What kept the business coming back was the atmosphere of it,” Tempelis said, “The Slice has everything you love in a fair/festival setting compacted into a beautiful community park.”

The event focuses on highlighting local businesses, from the Taste of Shoreview to their dedication to showcasing local businesses at the Slice.

The Shoreview community has been a large part of Lexington Floral’s purpose. Tempelis said that “community involvement was my main goal when I took over the business 5 years ago.” Tempelis brought the community into the store through workshops, private events, and educational seminars.

To Tempelis “having a retail business needed to be more than just ‘selling things’.” And she wanted to create

a space where people could escape from everyday life and the stress that can come with it. She wanted the community to experience the whimsical side of life.

She said that the “community in Shoreview is a special one, where everyone wants to support one another and support the betterment of the city.”

Madeline Dolby is a staff writer at Press Publications. She can be reached by calling 651-407-1226 or emailing shoreviewnews@presspubs.com.

Nick and Allie Tempelis are the former owners of Lexington Floral & Boutique.

Lexington Floral & Boutique has been passing out roses at the Slice of Shoreview parade for many years. This year they will not be handing out roses but will enjoy being the grand marshal in the Slice of Shoreview parade July 22.

Shoreview youth baseball team to get state championship rings at Target Field

BY NOELLE OLSON EDITOR

The Shoreview Area Youth Baseball

13A Green team will travel to Target Field Aug. 26 to receive their championship rings for winning the Gopher State Tournament of Champions for the first time. The awarding of the rings will take place during the Minnesota Twins vs Texas Rangers game.

“They’re going to think they are major league baseball players getting a ring like the World Series,” head coach Nic Maylone laughed. “They are really pumped up about it!”

The team went into the tournament seeded at number four and were 7-0 defeating some of the top teams in the state, according to Maylone.

“The championship game was an emotional rollercoaster because it was a back and forth type of game and it came down to eight innings,” Maylone said. “There were 40 teams in the tournament and we beat the number one seed, the number three seed and the number five seed. In the championship game, we beat St. MichaelAlbertville (number three seed) 17-14.”

Maylone said the players will be eighthgraders this fall. One of his motivational tools for his players this season was music.

“Our theme song of the year was “Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder,” Maylone said.

“That song would come on when there was a motivation needed or maybe after a big win and it just fit every scenario. It’s a song that will forever be implanted in these kids’ minds.”

He noted one of the verses in the song fit the team perfectly — “Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride. Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no, I got to keep on moving. Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride. I’m running and I won’t touch ground. Oh no, I got to keep on moving.”

The team began their journey to the state

championship in March. Maylone said they practiced in the snow to get to know each other and start team building. While going over statistics throughout the season, he said the team had over 35 practices, 12 hours of hitting instruction, played 40 games, 40 scrimmages and then won the state tournament.

“All that hard work and staying focused, developing as players and teammates came

together,” Maylone said. “Winning the state championship is a direct result of the team culture that the players, parents, and coaches created. It was conducive to building confidence and leadership in the players and ultimately bringing that all together in the final championship game.”

Oliver Moore is top Minnesotan taken in NHL draft

BY BRUCE STRAND CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Mounds View native Oliver Moore was one of the most coveted players in the recent National Hockey League draft and went to the Chicago Blackhawks with the 19th pick — the first of 15 Minnesotans drafted. Moore, who has signed with the Minnesota Gophers, got his start in the Mounds View/Irondale youth program. He played for Totino-Grace as a freshman and sophomore, and for the National Team Development Program (NTDP) in Ann Arbor, MI, as a junior and senior.

Regarded as the fastest skater in this year’s draft and skilled on both ends of the rink, Moore was ranked No. 8 among North American prospects by NHL Central Scouting. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound center had 31 goals and 44 assists in 61 games for the USA U18 team last season.

Blackhawks general manager Kyle

Davidson told reporters that the team had been trying to trade up to get Moore and “did not envision a scenario where he would be available at No. 19.” The Blackhawks also had the first pick in the draft and chose consensus No. 1

Connor Bedard of British Columbia.

Blackhawks scouting director Mike Doneghey assessed Moore as follows to the Chicago Sun-Times: “He’s got a really fast brain. He can fly, but his brain and feet are on the same page. He processes the game so well …. He gets lots of offensive chances because of his speed, but he’s very detail-oriented in the defensive zone.”

Moore, interviewed by the Sun-Times, said, “I take pride in my defensive game a lot, and I think my transition to offense is really good for my age. I’m just a fast player, and I think a lot of NHL teams like to play fast. Obviously the Hawks do, too.”

A total of 224 players were chosen by the NHL’s 32 teams in the seven-round draft, held June 28-29 in Nashville, Tenn. The only other Minnesotan taken in the first round was Rosemount native Charley Stramel, an NDTP teammate of Moore’s, by the Minnesota Wild at No. 21. Minnesota, with 15 picks, had by far the most of any state. New York was next with six.

SPORTS BRIEF

Mustangs send large contingent to wrestling nationals

Mounds View has nine wrestlers competing this week in the US Marine Corps Junior and 16U Nationals in Fargo. “That’s another school record,” said coach Daniel Engebretson, whose 2022-23 team set Mustang records of 31 wins, nine state qualifiers and five state place-winners, just one of the qualifiers being a senior. The Mustang contestants in Fargo are Colton Loween (160 pounds), Brady Swenson (160), Apollo Ashby (170) and Quinlan Morgan (195) in Junior Boys Freestyle; James Walker (138) and Morgan in Junior Greco-Roman; Brett Swenson (113), Braeden Maxey (170), Ethan Swenson (170) and Joseph Muhlstein (182) in 16U Boys Freestyle; and Maxey in 16U Greco-Roman. All of them earned their spots at Fargo in one of three available qualifying tournaments. The competition started July15 and will conclude July 22.

They also minimize the risk of harmful chemical exposure, as these minerals sit on top of the skin to block the sun’s rays rather than being absorbed into the skin.
