ARDEN HILLS — A driver pleaded guilty in Ramsey County District Court earlier this month for causing the deaths of two Mounds View High School students in December 2016.

Rachel Diane Kayl, 33, of Maple Grove, pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal vehicular homicide and one count of criminal vehicular operation causing great bodily harm in Ramsey County District Court Sept. 27. Her driving, estimated by Minnesota State Patrol to be about 30 mph over the speed limit, caused the deaths of juniors Bridget Giere and Stephanie Carlson, both 16.

The driver, Sammy Redden, also a Mounds View student, was severely injured. The girls were on their way to school on a dark Thursday morning, 7 a.m. Dec. 1.

Young adults who said yes to drugs warn teens

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

A cheerleader and a football player — young students who saw years of their lives destroyed by a momentary lapse of reason when confronted by heroin.

“That was the one drug I said I would never try,” Aubrey Lee, a graduate of Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge recovery center, told a class of health students at the White Bear Lake Area Learning Center this month. “It changed the entire course of my life.”

Lee overdosed for the first time at age 15. Not long before,

she had been an Apple Valley cheerleader. Family separation and her father’s drug use had caused her to experiment with alcohol and weed. When she was found out and kicked off her cheer squad, she lost hope and began to rebel more. When out with friends skipping class, they pulled out heroin and she felt she couldn’t say no because she didn’t want to be the odd one out, she said.

That choice led her to spend the rest of her teen years in 11 treatment centers. When she turned 18, she decided to try meth instead of heroin since so many friends were dying of heroin overdose. “I lost every-

thing,” she remembered. “I was homeless on the streets.”

At 19, she ended up in jail.

A bit further to the west in Chaska, Sam Schultz spent his high school years playing football and partying. He thought adults had lied about how bad drugs were when he was in middle school because drinking and smoking weed just added to the party atmosphere.

His world came crashing down when he dropped out of college. He was upset he had followed his girlfriend to the University of North Dakota in Fargo without considering SEE ADDICTION, PAGE 13

New twists on a Twin Cities paddling route built to improve water quality Middle Rice Creek remeander is one element of $7 million plan for nutrient-impaired Long Lake; Clean Water Fund tax dollars are in play A Twin Cities paddling route got a lot more sinuous, a bit longer and somewhat wilder this season when a previously straightened segment was channeled into a remeandered stream.

“You get more of a good thing. You’re on a beautiful creek on a beautiful stretch,” said Anoka County Parks’ recreation program coordinator Todd Murawski, who led two late-summer paddles through the reach.

The 0.83-mile-long Middle Rice Creek restoration doubled the length of the segment, which flows through Ramsey County’s 124-acre Rice Creek North Regional Trail Corridor just east of I-35W. Engineers designed the curves and rocks to reduce erosion and sediment-loading.

Sediment can carry phosphorus and nutrients that spur algae growth and turn lakes green.

The $870,000 restoration is part of Rice Creek Watershed District’s (RCWD) $7 million effort to improve water

quality in nutrient-impaired Long Lake. The creek flows through the former Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant property in Arden Hills.

The four-part Long Lake Targeted Watershed Demonstration Project draws from $3 million in Clean Water Funds from the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources.

Other project elements address phosphorus and nutrient-loading from the 100,000 acres that flow into Long Lake. They include invasive carp management; $2.7 million in water-quality improvements at New Brighton’s Hansen Park, including a $500,000 iron-enhanced sand filter that went online this summer; and Mirror Lake stormwater retrofits in St. Anthony Village.

A bit of replanting in August completed work on Middle Rice Creek, which is poised to come in under budget.

RCWD’s lake and stream specialist Matt Kocian explained the two-phase remeandering.

After contractors excavate a new channel, they typically give native sedges, grasses and wildflowers time to establish

before rerouting the existing stream. The new channel sat empty for nearly two years because a warm winter construction season delayed work.

Clay plugs were removed in March, releasing water into the constructed channel.

“In retrospect, I think it probably added some security for the channel in terms of allowing it to stabilize that much more,” Kocian said. The plantings withstood this summer’s high flows.

With tall, erosion-prone banks, the old channel — straightened pre-1900 — was the highest sediment-contributor along

the creek. Eventually, it will melt into the landscape.

Now, a winding corridor cuts velocity, keeps water from carving into the banks and allows sediment to settle. Deep-rooted native species replace invasive reed canary grass. The habitat is more likely to attract great blue herons, egrets and turtles.

Improving in-stream habitat was a secondary goal. Middle Rice Creek shows impaired biota — a negative change in the numbers and types of aquatic life such as fish and invertebrates.

“The habitat in the

channel and adjacent wetland habitats and connected floodplains are much more diverse.

It should support diverse wildlife,” Kocian said of the remeandering.

Because the stream runs through a county park, the watershed district had more land to work with here compared with most Twin Cities sites.

“This was a pretty unique opportunity, especially in the metro area, to take a straightened channel and restore it to a more meandering path,” Kocian said.

Those added curves not only slow the water but

also transform what was a straight-line float into a more leisurely and scenic paddle that requires maneuvering around the bends.

In mid-August, Murawski’s group of paddlers counted 75 green herons during a 6.5-hour, 9.5-mile paddle that passed through the remeandered segment. There, green herons perched on bank-stabilizing root wads and in trees. Murawski said he expected green herons, great blue herons and egrets — but he was surprised by their abundance.

“They made a good thing better. It was always a beautiful (stretch) to paddle. But now there’s more wildlife. The vegetation is more diverse. You get a little bit more of the creek,” Murawski said.

Library’s caregivers kits collection expands The Ramsey County Library has expanded its Memory Minders Kits collection. In response to the many people who are struggling with or caring for those with Alzheimer’s, dementia or cognitive impairment, the Memory Minders Kits were created in 2017 through a partnership with the Roseville Alzheimer’s/ Dementia Community Action Team and generous community sponsors.

The Memory Minders Kits provide information on dementia and an assortment of materials to help provide meaningful engagement between care partners and loved ones. They contain books, CDs, DVDs, and interactive activities (such as puzzles, games or conversation cards) which are specifically selected to spark memories, create conversation and provide positive and engaging interactions. The kits also include informative resources for caregivers.

Due to their popularity, the library is doubling the size of its collection and adding new, engaging activities.

The library has also created Memory Minders Kits specific to Lewy Body Dementia (with funding from UCare) and kits to help children understand their loved ones who have dementia.

Independent speed voting

T

here’s a whole slew of offices to vote for this fall.

Voting is a civic duty but it’s also a chore for those of us who are truly independents.

You don’t just show up to the voting booth and tick blue or red. You don’t check a name you don’t even recognize just because they are part of a certain political party. It takes time and effort to discover the main issues a candidate seeks to promote and weigh the options. There are a variety of good ideas promoted by people from different parties.

Whether you are a political independent or you’re considering becoming one, there is a fairly fast and easy way to make your Story choices. The Minnesota Secretary of State offers an online samChaser ple ballot that is specific to your Sara Marie Moore neighborhood. Using this tool, you can easily learn about candidates and organize your votes.

Visit the Minnesota Secretary of State website at sos.state.mn.us. Under the elections and voting tab, click “What’s on my ballot?” Follow the instructions to enter your address. You will see a list of candidates for various offices — governor, senators, representatives, secretary, auditor, attorney general, county sheriff, county attorney, county commissioner, justices, judges, city council, school board — oh my! Print off your list or bookmark it for reference.

Candidates report their promotional website to the Secretary of State. Each candidate’s name that has a website is highlighted in blue with a link. Click the links and compare candidates running for the same office. Candidates often have a tab on their website that explains how they stand on several issues. Decide two or three top things are most important to you this year and highlight the candidate that will stand for them. Don’t bother to vote for someone who didn’t make the effort to create a website or report it to the Secretary of State. You can also do a quick online search to research candidates more thoroughly.

Local candidates for city council and school board often do not have websites. Use your ballot list when you reference Press Publications’ Voter Guide for local candidates, in today’s issue.

You can reference your list if you read an article, watch a debate or a candidate knocks on your door. Perhaps you will change your mind.

You can take your list with you when you vote or reference it if you vote by mail.

You can vote early by mail or in-person at your county election office Sept. 21 through Nov. 5.

Some cities also offer early in-person voting. Find out more on the Secretary of State website under the “Other ways to vote tab.”

It shouldn’t take much more than a couple hours to be an independent speed voter. Only about 61 percent of eligible voters voted in 2016, according to the United States Census Bureau.

In 2012, the number was similar — 62 percent. I would venture to guess about 40 percent of people don’t vote because the political process can seem overwhelming and manipulated by political parties.

Voting is a privilege. For those who don’t usually vote, I recommend becoming an independent speed voter. Don’t avoid the voting booth just because politics isn’t your cup of tea. It isn’t mine either.

For those who are just tired of political divisiveness, I also recommend becoming an independent. We should not let political parties think for us. When you step beyond being partisan, you take more ownership of your vote, think critically and learn to respect individuals. Try it this year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Trust Kelly Moller to look out for health care This week, I received a mailer from the GOP in my mailbox attacking senatorial candidate Kelly Moller on health care. It suggested that my income taxes would double, clinics would close and more, if she were elected. Having heard Moller’s stance on health care at the candidate forum at Shoreview City Hall on Sept. 6, I know fi rsthand that the Republicans are grossly distorting her proposals and the value and cost of universal health care.

This mailer isn’t clear as to just what proposal that Kelly Moller is making on health care. It wants you to believe that she is wholeheartedly advocating for a single-payer system, when she suggested in a tweet that single-payer should be studied as a possible option. The mailer cites an 80-page report that looks at how the state could expand coverage to the uninsured using Medicaid and MinnesotaCare, which is not single-payer. Where is the proposal that would double income taxes? What proposal would close clinics? It’s not clear.

Here’s what is clear: Kelly Moller supports the idea that everyone should have affordable health coverage. She said at the forum, “Health care is a human right.” It’s the right thing to do, and it saves money over time by avoiding substantial losses at our hospitals and clinics. She supports allowing any Minnesotan to buy into MinnesotaCare, our most successful effort for insuring individuals with important cost constraints.

At the same time, Republicans in the Legislature — including Rep. Randy Jessup — were happy to vote to amend Senate File 1 back in 2017 to allow health insurance policies that don’t have to cover a number of illnesses and conditions like cancer treatment. That would take us back to the days where insurance might be cheap, but doesn’t cover anything.

Take a look at the video of the candidate forum on CTV’s website. Rep. Jessup didn’t have any specifics on how to ensure quality health care coverage for all of us, but Kelly Moller did. She’s proactive — something I find lacking in Rep. Jessup. That is why I trust Kelly Moller to look out for my health care needs.

Climate change question I sent this question to both Rep. Jessup and challenger Moller.

Do you think climate change is caused by human activity or is it a natural chain of events where humans have no impact, or is climate change an outright hoax?

I sent the question to Jessup on Facebook and Moller by email.

Jessup: “I certainly don't think that climate change is a hoax. I do believe there are manmade and environmental factors at play. To what extent is something that needs investigation. Nevertheless, focusing on sustainable energy and being good stewards of our environment should not be as contentious of an issue as it is. There are steps we can take that both reduce our footprint on the environment and provide sustainable solutions.”

Moller: “I agree with scientists who say that human behavior is the driving force behind climate change. I support increased use of renewable energy in Minnesota, increased energy efficiencies in buildings and homes, and protection of our

CHURCH DIRECTORY

waterways (which are impaired in part due to the increase in rain from climate change). I'm also Sierra Club-endorsed. Please let me know if you have other questions.”

I am glad both state climate change is not a hoax and that humans are contributing factors. Jessup wants more investigation, and Moller is up on the latest scientific positions. This statement is from 18 scientific associations: "Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research demonstrates that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver" (2009).

Scientists continue to study but not the human impact that is already known. The study today is on how to reduce human impact and looking for methods to reduce future extreme weather changes.

For me, I will be voting for Moller for the simple reason that her response expresses a clearer understanding of the urgent need to act to preserve and protect our environment today so our future generations will be able to enjoy the quality of life we have over our lifetime. Moller speaks with an authentic voice, not attempting appeasement for climate change deniers.

Why we’re supporting Kelly Moller for state representative My name is Bill Urbanski. My wife Joan and I recently moved to Shoreview after living 48 years in Mounds View. The reasons we’re supporting Kelly Moller for District 42A are numerous. First, Kelly doesn’t equivocate when answering voters’ questions. That is, she doesn’t use ambiguous language so as to conceal the truth or avoid committing herself. She’s very clear on her positions on such things as gun violence prevention, strong environmental protections, accessible and affordable health care, improved transportation systems, and quality education opportunities for all, just to name a few. She also backs up these issue positions with specific suggestions to deal with them.

Second, Kelly is a good listener. She genuinely tries to get those she’s talking with, to share their stories and concerns. She encourages them to offer their ideas and solutions in trying to fi x complicated issues.

Third, she is committed to a strong set of principles and values that guide her as a wife, mother, community member and as a prosecuting attorney to treat all with dignity and respect. She learned these values and principles from her family, friends, teachers, colleagues and her faith community.

And last, Kelly is not beholding to big-money interests, outside PACs, and dark money advertising. This is greatly appreciated by my wife and I, especially during this mean and nasty period in our nation’s politics.

Kelly’s a hard worker, and she has a very well-organized team helping her in her bid for voter support in this coming Nov. 6, 2018 election. We strongly ask you to join us in your support and vote for Kelly Moller as state representative in District 42A ( Arden Hills, Mounds View, Shoreview, and Spring Lake Park).

Ex-wrestler takes on TEDTalk: ‘A Pro Wrestler’s Guide to Confidence’

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

Stillwater resident Mike Kinney never expected to give a viral speech.

A former professional wrestler, Kinney is no stranger to the spotlight, though he never counted public speaking among his strong suits. Last July, however, he delivered a talk at the popular TED conference to a soldout crowd.

That talk, “A Pro Wrestler’s Guide to Confidence,” currently has 1.1 million views on TED.com and was featured at this month’s TEDTalk Tuesday at the Wildwood Library in Mahtomedi.

The opportunity to present at the conference arose through Kinney’s job at UPS, which has a partnership with TED. “I think it was probably February (2017) when they went to all 450,000 UPS employees and said, ‘If anyone has a great idea for something to share as a TED talk, here’s a form to fi ll out,’” Kinney remembered.

He outlined the details of an idea: how embracing his unique traits helped him not only succeed as a professional wrestler but also cope with the death of his father, with whom he shared a love of wrestling. After nearly two months passed without a response, Kinney assumed that TED had passed up the idea, and he moved on.

“It had gotten to the point where I’d forgotten about it,” he said. “You know, you just kind of get on with your life.”

But then in April, Kinney received a call from a TED employee, who said

the organization wanted to learn more about his background and see a full draft of his proposed talk. Kinney was paired with a New York Citybased speech coach, who worked with him remotely to fi ne-tune his presentation.

“I probably wrote about 50 drafts of that speech,” he said. “I would complete a draft, read it out loud, and the folks from TED would get on a video call, listen to it and say something like, ‘You’re about 70 percent of the way there, but we need you to rewrite.”

In May, after spending weeks rewriting his speech, Kinney was selected to present at TED’s upcoming conference in Atlanta, Georgia.

“I had gone through this whole process without getting the official go-ahead, so when they finally let me know, I was pretty burnt out,” Kinney remembered. To recharge, he took a trip to southern Iowa, where his father’s body is buried.

“I went down and stayed in a bedand-breakfast in this tiny town, and I focused on why I was doing this talk in the fi rst place,” he said. “It was good for me to be kind of back in the trenches and be around where my dad is. Then, when I came back, I was able to go full speed ahead.”

Most talks delivered at TED conferences are not posted online, and Kinney didn’t expect his to be an exception. “I really didn’t think that mine, based on the content, was going to go to TED.com, but I don’t know that I really cared,” he said. “Giving it ended up mostly being closure for my dad and closure for my wrestling ca-

reer—closure I didn’t know I needed.”

Six weeks after Kinney returned to Stillwater from the conference in Atlanta, TED let Kinney know that his talk would be featured on the organization’s website. When he received the news, Kinney said, “the emotions hit me. They hadn’t before. I had fought them all back for the most part, but then it hit me what a big deal this is.

It’s a huge deal.”

He didn’t anticipate how popular the video would end up becoming, either.

When it premiered online in October, he and his wife “would pull it up and refresh the page, and there would be hundreds of thousands of more views than were there the minute before,” he said. “It was really neat to see that number go up so quickly.”

Kinney has received much attention in the wake of his talk’s popularity.

“I live in this weird bubble where my coworkers and my family and friends have all seen it, but I don’t get any feedback that’s not meant to be positive,” he said. “Certainly, I realize that there’s a lot of positive messaging through it, but I want to hear from people that I don’t know.”

As a regular presence at the Wildwood Library’s monthly TEDTalk Tuesday event, in which attendees view and discuss a TED presentation, Kinney thought the community event would be an ideal way of soliciting constructive criticism. Organizers welcomed him enthusiastically.

“His talk is tremendously funny and tremendously inspiring, and the chance to have an actual TED speaker be a part of the discussion was beyond our wildest dreams for our little

hometown event,” said Mary Hoff, one of the event organizers.

A group of locals launched TEDTalk Tuesday “as a way to help bring community members across the boundaries that too often divide us (and) to inspire and be inspired through a conversation around a common topic,” Hoff said.

On Oct. 28, that same group will host TEDxMahtomedi, in which 11 speakers will present on a range of topics including public art, community energy cooperatives and the power of imagination. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit tedxmahtomedi.com.

Rotary works to protect Blue Herons

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

Despite the temperatures in the mid-90s, volunteers trudged through the heavy brush on Peltier Island to plant 12 hackberry trees Saturday, Sept. 15.

Kevin Fitzpatrick, past president of the Chain of Lakes Rotary, said the organization got the idea for the service project after fellow Rotarian Jeff Karlson, Lino Lakes city administrator, invited Lino Lakes Environmental Coordinator Marty Asleson to a meeting to discuss the history of Peltier Island and its blue heron rookery.

“It seemed like a natural Rotary service project.

Tree planting is one of the main service projects that Rotary Clubs around the world undertake,” Fitzpatrick explained. “We have a very special opportunity—to help maintain the trees for the blue heron rookery, one of the largest in North America.”

The Peltier Island blue heron rookery had 1,149 nests in 1996. In 1997-98, the late biologist Art Hawkins, a resident of Lino Lakes, noticed herons were abandoning their nests. In 2004, University of Minnesota graduate student Andy Van Duyke conducted a study that found heron chicks were being eaten by raccoons. The number of nesting herons went down to 36 in 2005.

Since that time, volunteers have worked diligently to keep raccoons out of the nesting trees by attaching metal flashing around the trees to prevent them from climbing. Wayne LeBlanc, who is one of the original rookery advocates and volunteers, said January 2018 was the best nest count since 2001, with 342 nests in 106 trees. Great egrets are also known to spend time on the island.

In addition to protecting the wildlife, another aim of the project was to help replace trees that have died or will die in the future.

“About a third of the trees on the island are black ash, and the herons nest in these ash. The rookery will lose these nesting trees in the next several years because of emerald ash borer (EAB). Storms have also pushed over a number of trees that the herons nested in,” Asleson explained. “In order to help with habitat, the Rotary decided to plant some trees for heron habitat that will eventually replace doomed ash trees and fill in canopy holes created by storms.”

Asleson noted that hackberry is one of the historic, northern hardwood forest species that has

existed in the area for thousands of years. Other tree species on the island include bitternut hickory and basswood.

“The Chain of Lakes Rotary Club tries to engage in one service project every month. During the school year, we mentor students at Centennial High School,” Fitzpatrick said. “Other service projects this summer have included helping out with Habitat for Humanity, creating the new playground at Rice Lake Elementary School and hosting the annual Officer Shawn Silvera Rotary Run.” Fitzpatrick said the hope is for Peltier Island to become a yearly project for the Rotary Club.

“We want to help the blue heron rookery continue on into the future. The blue herons need to have their nests fairly high off the ground, so we need to help keep it sustainable,” he said. “Blue herons are the SYMBOL for Lino Lakes.”

2016 CRASH: Driver expected to be put on probation, not sent to prison FROM PAGE 1

Crash data retrieval software showed Kayl’s vehicle was traveling 81-82 mph in a 50 mph zone between five seconds and one second preceding the crash, according to court documents. The students were turning left onto Old Highway 10 from Highway 96. Kayl crashed into the passenger side where both Giere and Carlson were sitting.

Kayl said she was on her way to a job as a nanny in Shoreview the day of the accident. She said she thought the vehicle was going through the light and “did not mean to hit” it.

Minnesota State Patrol Sergeant Daniel Dixon analyzed the crash and determined weather conditions,

mechanical defects or driver impairment did not contribute to the crash.

The impact speed of Kayl’s Trailblazer was between 77 and 85 mph and Redden’s Equinox was going about 20 mph.

Dixon calculated that if the Trailblazer had been going the speed limit the Equinox would have had time to clear the intersection, according to court documents. Kayl’s excessive speed was the primary factor in the crash, he noted. Driving 27 to 35 mph over the speed limit caused Kayl to forfeit her right of way, according to Minnesota state statute, state prosecution argued.

As part of Kayl’s plea agreement, two manslaughter charges will be

dismissed, according to court documents. Manslaughter and criminal vehicular homicide are the same level of offense, according to the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office.

Both offenses are considered equally serious. She was charged with both due to case law and Minnesota Rules of Criminal Procedure, noted Ramsey County Attorney John Choi.

Kayl’s sentencing will be held Dec. 19. However, according to her plea agreement, she is expected to be put on probation for 10 years and would not go to prison if she follows the terms of her probation.

Kayl has four prior speeding citations between 2005 and 2013.

Mustang defense robust in win over East Ridge, loss to Roseville gain, but the other two went for long touchdowns.

Collin Hoyhtya snagged a 37-yard TD over the top to open the scoring, just after Stensrud kept the drive going with a 15-yard scramble.

After East Ridge took a 10-7 halftime lead, Josh Sampson hauled in slant pass and sped to a 48-yard TD to regain the lead in the third quarter.

“Josh has been dealing with an ankle injury for about a month,” Moberg said, “and it was fun to see him be able to use his speed and put a couple moves on (defenders) like he did.”

Nate Farm’s nine-yard run closed the scoring. Farm gained 63 yards in eight carries.

Another rugged defensive showing was not quite enough

Mustang soccer finishes strong, including near-upset in playoffs Mounds View boys soccer finished its season very competitively, going 4-2-1 in the last seven games.

That’s notable after the Mustangs won just one of their first nine matches.

Seeded No. 7 in Section 5AA, the Mustangs took No. 2 Centennial to overtime and lost 2-1 on Oct. 9, ending the season. Jani Sojos scored in the first half with a header off a corner kick

from Ethan VonGrey in the 34rd minute. Centennial tied the score with two minutes left in the game.

The Mustangs’ late surge included a 3-2 win over Cretin-Derham Hall on Oct. 4. Sojos broke the tie with his second goal, in the 70th minute, after forward Bobby Moua stole the ball in the Raider zone and passed to Sojos.

Jake Wolkerstorfer got the first goal off a long

throw-in from Sojos that hit the post and found its way to the back of the net. Later in the half, defender Alec Weber sent a strong cross to Sojos who headed the ball into the net. CHD scored in the 40th and 60th minutes to pull even.

Mounds View, coached

by Joe Warren, finished 3-5 in the Suburban East for sixth place among nine teams and 5-10-1 overall.

Mustang swimmers place 2nd in section true team The Mounds View swimmers were runners-up in the Section 4AA trueteam sectional on Oct. 6 in Stillwater. Team standings were Stillwater 1033, Mounds View 821, St. Anthony Village 559, White Bear Lake 491 and Roseville Area 68. The Mustangs had no fi rst places but took second in five

events — Alli Misialek in butterfly and backstroke, Annie Moen in the 50 freestyle, the 200 freestyle relay with Megan West, Sofie Sjogren, Moen and Zoe Rylander, and the 400 freestyle with West, Sjogren, Misialek and Rylander.

Mounds View girls tennis, absent from the state tournament for a relatively long stretch of three years, will return to the big show next week.

The No. 4 ranked Mustangs beat Stillwater 4-3 in the Section 4AA championship match Oct. 10, after advancing with victories over Irondale 7-0 and Roseville Area 5-2 the day before, at the University of Minnesota.

“I am very proud of this team. I am excited for the Mounds View girls to be back in the state tournament.

They deserve it,” coach Scott Sundstrom said.

“They have worked so incredibly hard this season. This is a cohesive, dedicated, and improvement-centered team. I hope we enjoy the moment at state and have a good showing.”

The finals came down to No.1 doubles, the last match completed.

Mustang senior Sarah Tang and junior Paige Trondson closed out a 6-4, 6-3 win over Rosalie Braun and Catherine Monty, with all the players, parents and fans watching.

Mounds View boys cross country placed fi rst in a strong 19-team field at the Alexandria Lions Invitational meet on Saturday, Oct. 6.

The No. 7 ranked Mustangs scored 64 points, followed by No. 2 Stillwater 85, No. 11 Red Wing 123, Highland Park 127 and No. 5 White Bear Lake 158 in the top five.

Austin Streit placed third in 15:36 behind Stillwater’s Adison Stansbury and Chanhassen’s Nicholas Schiller. The Mustangs also had Lukas Hessini in eight place (16:04), Finn Sokolowski 12th (16:16), Will Sacay 16th (16:23) and Alex Nelson 25th (16:39).

The Mustang girls placed 10th of 19 teams, led by Morgan Dahl in 20th (19:30) among 134 runners. Taylor Isabel placed 34th, Tollie Jackson 48th, Kieran Meyer 52nd and Olivia Hoyhtha 74th.

against Roseville Area in a 10-7 loss last Friday.

“We knew it would be a low-scoring game,” Moberg said. “Roseville’s defense is number one in the district against the run, and we’ve been pretty good, too. That just had that one big pass play.”

The Mustangs gave up a 76-yard touchdown in the fi rst period on a pass from Zach Schneider to Seyi Afinni.

They shut down the Raiders (3-4) after that, except for a 30-yard field goal by SirRon Adams in the third period that broke a 7-7 tie.

Mounds View (4-3) got on the board with Farm’s three-yard run in the second period.

The Mustangs, down 10-7, drove to the Raiders four

with a minute left. A 15-yard penalty made them settle for a field goal attempt from the 19-yard line, and the Raiders blocked it.

“We got into the red zone twice and didn’t get any points. We missed on two field goals,” Moberg lamented. “At the end, we were running pretty well and went 70 yards, but had that penalty, leading to the blocked field goal.”

The Mustangs were limited to 200 net yards. Stenstrom was 8-for-16 for 84 yards. Five players combined for 116 rushing yards. Cody Bieber had 33 in eight carries.

The defense gave up 284 yards passing (about half of that on two plays) but just 66 on the ground in 24 rushes.

‘Cohesive, dedicated’ Mustangs netters head to state with 19-1 record Mounds View reached 15 state tournaments in 23 years under former coach Michael Cartwright, before missing the last three. Sundstrom, Cartwright’s assistant, took over last year.

The Mustangs beat Stillwater at one-two singles, with Taylor Trondson and Amanda Diao, and at onetwo doubles. Emma Sun and Leah Brandt won at No. 2. Both of those doubles teams went 3-0 at sectionals.

Also in the section lineups were Kat Smiricinschi, Molly Austin, Elena Bartels, Katia Bartels, and Hannah Lindgren.

Section singles and doubles concluded Tuesday, too late for coverage in this edition. Reaching the semifinals Thursday and Friday with three wins each were Diao in singles, and both doubles entrants, Paige/Taylor Trondson, and Brandt/Smiricinschi.

The No. 4 ranked Mustangs take a 19-1 record to the state tournament, losing only to Class A’s top-ranked Blake, 6-1. The team tournament will be held Oct. 22-23 at Baseline Center, with singles and doubles play Oct. 24-25.

The Mustangs sacked the quarterback nine times and threw a pair of touchdown passes in a 21-10 win over East Ridge (4-3) at homecoming on Oct. 5.

Outside linebacker Chase Dressel got to the quarterback four times (officially 3.5 sacks as one was shared) and inside linebacker Brian

“Their quarterback is a great player, and he has receivers all over the field,” said Mustang coach Aaron Moberg. “If you give him time he’s going to make plays.

They were averaging about 500 yards offense. So we had to be aggressive and get after him.”

Also getting to Zach Zebrowski — who hit 14 of 25 for 217 yards, no interceptions and one touchdown — were defensive ends Rowan Morgan (1.5 sacks) and Ahmed Mohamed (one), and Charles Dressel (one), Chase’s twin at the other outside slot.

Jani Sojos sparked Mounds View soccer to a late-season surge after healing from an injury that limited his playing time earlier. The junior forward drilled seven goals in his last six games and the Mustangs won four of those. They were 1-8 before that. Last week, Sojos scored on a header in the sectional as the No. 7 seeded Mustangs took No. 2 Centennial to overtime before losing 2-1. He had eight goals and three assists for the season.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Residents voice opinions FROM PAGE 5

Where is the action on achievement gap?

We have a lot to be proud of in our K-12 education system. However, Minnesota has the one of the worst achievement gaps between white students and students of color in the country. Business leaders cite this as a major problem in meeting the needs for skilled workers. We compete globally for talent and we can’t waste talent if those workers are right under our nose. Of course, we need to support the ability of all our students to meet their full potential for the same reason.

What we need now is leadership.

It is not just about money. It is about problem solving across many different areas. I fi nd that Kelly Moller, candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 42A, has a strong understanding of how to address it. She has been a prosecutor for the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, where she sees children harmed by domestic violence who have difficulties meeting their potential. Her approach is comprehensive. There needs to be a focus on pre-kindergarten so that kids are ready to learn in elementary schools.

We need to break down “silos” among different departments and provide “wrap-around” services that address many different needs since teachers and schools can’t address all the factors affecting a student’s ability to learn. That can include ensuring safe housing, addressing hunger, and understanding issues that parents may have. During a recent candidate forum, our incumbent, Rep. Randy

Jessup, was asked how we would deal with the achievement gap and I felt he did not have an answer. I trust Kelly Moller to address this problem as our legislator and I hope that you will support her on Election Day. Judy Rohde Shoreview

Mammogram coverage or not?

Randy Jessup has a mailer sharing how his mother beat breast cancer and how he will “always defend mammogram coverage for all women.”

I wish the very best for Randy’s mom about this continued good news.

My mother is a survivor. My grandmother died from breast cancer. This issue is very personal.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA), aka Obamacare, requires all health insurance plans to pay for mammograms.

Many women have gotten checked when they might not have otherwise.

Lives have been saved. The ACA also requires that all health plans have coverage for cancer treatment.

However, in the latest legislative term, Republicans, including Jessup, voted to remove these requirements for health plans sold in the state. That means that many “skinny” health plans would not cover mammograms and cancer treatment (2017 House Journal 154, Drazkowski Amendment to SF1). Also, Jessup said this about the ACA in Minnesota at a forum Sept. 8: “We had a program in Minnesota that was the best in the nation.

We had only 6 percent of people who were uninsured. We really were the best in the nation. We did not need the Affordable Care Act, but the rest of the nation did.”

This forum statement and vote say the exact opposite to what is claimed in the mailer. My mother was diagnosed at age 61. She lost a job just a few years before but fortunately was hired at a job with good benefits. But what if she didn’t have coverage? All moms should have this coverage in Minnesota. Lives hang in the balance.

My friend Kelly Moller is much more prepared for this legislative role, and I urge you to support her in November for Minnesota House District 42A. Paul Gardner Shoreview

Patti Anderson for 38B On Election Day voters in House District 38B will have the opportunity to replace retiring representative Matt Dean.

Patti Andersen should be that choice.

Her previous experience as the former State Auditor assures us that she will be able to hit the ground running on day one and be able to provide leadership necessary to get things done at the state Capitol. As mayor of Eagan, she worked with a deeply divided City Council to drive consensus and build coalitions.

As a fellow owner of a small business, Patti understands the difficulties of owning and operating a successful business. She has navigated the minefield of state regulations and the difficulty of providing health care for her employees and will be able to provide immediate firsthand insight into ways the state can reduce waste and run more efficiently.

Patti’s experiences and expertise both in the public and private sectors will be a welcomed addition to the State House — she deserves your vote.

Kelly Moller responsive to questions I have contacted Randy Jessup several times over the past year. His response time and replies have varied, sometimes dependent on whether I agreed with him or not. Toward the end of the 2018 session, I contacted him about voting on an issue important to me; the committee he was assigned to was voting 24 hours later.

Eight days later he responded, saying he didn’t think the bill was a concern to protection of state parks and trails — I felt like he was basically blowing me off. His touted “bipartisan role” is highly misleading. See the Vote Smart non-partisan website for more: https://votesmart.org/candidate/152918/randy-jessup#.W7zPJ2hKhPZ. In addition, we have been inundated with very negative mailings from the Republican Party and Pro Jobs Majority, depicting Kelly Moller as a radical person who will personally make life worse for all Minnesotans. These are not the type of campaign “facts” we need to see.

In contrast, Kelly Moller has been responsive to my questions, is running a positive campaign, and has values on health care, education, gun control and environmental issues that more closely align with mine. And I feel we need new leadership in the House to get things accomplished on these issues. I will be voting for Kelly Moller; I hope you do too.

Come prepared with documentation for REAL ID ST. PAUL — A REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or ID card will not be required for domestic air travel for two years, but Minnesotans who choose to apply for one will need to bring in more documentation than is required for a standard driver’s license.

The additional documentation required by federal law ensures the new licenses and ID cards meet minimum federal security standards established by Congress in 2005 under the REAL ID Act. To apply for a REAL ID, Minnesotans will need to present the following documents in person: • One document proving identity, date of birth and legal presence in the United States, such as a passport or a birth certificate. If the name on the identity document is not the same as a person's current name, a name change document must be submitted.

• One document proving Social Security number, such as a Social Security card or a federal W2 form.

• Two documents proving current residency in Minnesota. Examples include a valid driver’s license or ID card, a canceled check or a credit card statement.

Minnesotans will be able to apply for REAL IDs beginning Oct. 1, 2018, but there is no need to rush to obtain one. A Minnesota standard license or ID card will be accepted for federal purposes, including boarding domestic flights, until Oct. 1, 2020.

A complete list of acceptable documents for REAL ID can be found at REALID.dps.mn.gov.

Other license/ID options In addition to REAL ID, Minnesota offers two other driver’s license and ID card options, each of which have their own set of required documentation.

• Enhanced driver’s license or ID An enhanced driver’s license (EDL) or ID card (EID) is REAL ID-compliant and can be used to board domestic flights and enter federal facilities now and after Oct. 1, 2020. It can also be used to cross U.S. borders into and from Canada, Mexico and parts of the Caribbean by land or sea.

Only U.S. citizens may apply for an EDL or EID. The applicant must provide proof of identity, full legal name, Social Security number, photographic identity, Minnesota residency and U.S. citizenship.

Two types of documents must be submitted to prove Minnesota residency (for example, an electric bill or phone bill and a tax return).

An interview questionnaire must be completed at the time of application.

A complete list of acceptable documents for EDL or EID can be found on the DPS-DVS website.

• Standard driver’s license or ID A standard driver’s license or ID card will continue to be accepted for driving and basic identification purposes beyond Oct. 1, 2020. It will not be accepted for federal purposes after that date.

To apply for a standard driver’s license, identification card, or permit, you may present a Minnesota driver’s license, identification card, or permit that is current or expired for five years or less if it has a photo, or one year or less if it does not have a photo.

If you do not have one of the items listed above, you must present two documents, including one document that contains your full name and the month, day and year of your birth. These documents may

include a birth certificate, passport or a Social Security card.

If the name on your driver’s license, identification card or permit has changed or the names on your other documents do not match, you must also present proof of your legal name change(s).

Since there is no need to obtain a REAL ID at this time, state officials are suggesting that residents wait to apply unless they need to change their name or address or renew their current license. This will help ease the transition to the new card and reduce wait times.

REAL IDs are optional. A standard driver’s license or ID card will continue to be acceptable for driving and other identification purposes after REAL ID becomes available in October. After Oct. 1, 2020, a REAL ID, enhanced driver’s license or ID or passport will be required for those wanting to board domestic flights or enter federal facilities.

What will a REAL ID cost?

A REAL ID will cost the same as a standard driver’s license ($25.25) or ID card ($19.25). Fees will apply for early renewals depending on how many months the REAL ID is obtained before a person’s driver’s license or ID card expires.

REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and ID cards were available at most driver’s license office locations beginning Oct. 1. The DPS-DVS website will have updated information on which locations will accept REAL ID applications after Oct. 1. For more, visit REALID.dps.mn.gov From press release

Breast Cancer Awareness Let’s Fight Cancer Together

Knowing and recognizing the signs of breast cancer may save your life

DID YOU KNOW? Breast cancer can affect both men and women and is one of the most common forms of cancer. Thanks to increased awareness and screenings, many cases of breast cancer are diagnosed early and treated successfully.

BreastCancer.org says that invasive ductal carcinoma, or IDC, is the most common form of breast cancer, accounting for about 80 percent of all breast cancers.

The American Cancer Society says that, although IDC can affect women of any age, it is most common among women age 55 or older.

The good news is that this type of cancer is highly curable, provided it has not spread outside of the ducts to other breast tissue. Survival rates for any breast cancers diagnosed in the early stages are excellent.

Pamela Brown 651-351-7620

As with many types of A cancer, breast cancer is most successfully treated when it is detected early. Over the previous quarter century, death rates for breast cancer have been on the decline, a positive development that Breastcancer. org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing reliable, complete and up-to-date information about breast cancer, suggests is a byproduct of the heightened awareness of breast cancer over the last 25 years and the increasing emphasis placed on breast cancer screening.

Understanding the symptoms of breast cancer also can help women battle and defeat this potentially deadly disease. While the presence of any of the following symptoms does not necessarily mean breast cancer is present, the appearance of the following should be enough to inspire women and even men to visit their physicians for thorough examinations and screenings.

Any of the aforementioned signs and symptoms may be a sign of infection or the presence of a cyst, both of which are less severe than the presence of breast cancer. But the success rates of treating cancers that are detected early is such that any potential symptom of breast cancer warrants an immediate discussion with a physician.

Changes in the feeling of the breast or nipple: A change in how the breast or nipple feels could be indicative of a larger problem. If the nipple is especially tender and this persists for an extended period of time, exercise caution and discuss this change with your physician. Similarly, if a lump or thickening develops on or near the breast or underarms, speak with your physician.

Changes in appearance of the breast: A lump or thickening in the breast may affect the appearance of the breast. Another visible symptom of breast cancer is a change in the skin texture or an enlargement of pores in the skin of the breast, which may appear similar to dimpling, not unlike an orange peel. Swelling or shrinking of the breast, especially when such symptoms appear on just one breast, may also indicate breast cancer.

In addition, some women with breast cancer notice a sudden asymmetry with their breasts despite their breasts previously being symmetrical, and such a development should immediately be brought to the attention of a physician.

Changes in the appearance of the nipple: A nipple that appears different also may be a sign of breast cancer.

Some women with breast cancer have noticed a nipple turned slightly inward or inverted prior to their breast cancer diagnosis. Skin of the nipple, as well as that of the breast and areola, which is the dark circle of skin around the nipple, may also become red, scaly or swollen when breast cancer is present.

Clear or bloody discharge from the nipple: Women who are breastfeeding often notice a milky discharge from their nipple after breastfeeding. Such discharges are normal. However, when a woman who is not breastfeeding notices the presence of a clear or bloody discharge from her nipple, such a development should be brought to the attention of a physician.

ADDICTION: Graduates of prevention program spreading truth to area teens FROM PAGE 1

where he had wanted to study, so he made a quick decision one day and left.

Back home in Chaska, he found a new group of friends, who introduced him to heroin. He hated it but kept doing it. Eventually, he started feeling sick like he had the flu. He was surprised when a friend convinced him he would feel better if he used more heroin.

“I smoked some and I immediately felt better,” he said. “All of a sudden I realized I was addicted to heroin.”

Then came jail, a big deal for a football player from a private school. “Six months ago, I was in anthropology class in school,” he remembered.

He celebrated his short-term treatment program graduation from Hazelden with a beer. Two days later, he was back to heroin and soon back to jail. He called his parents.

“My mom said, “It is so good to hear your voice,’” he remembered, which was a shock because he expected to be chided. “They just wanted to know I was alive. They were planning my funeral.” His mom had heard of Teen Challenge and the 13-month treatment program was what he needed.

160 Minnesota schools per year to share what saying yes to drugs can do to your life. They reach 60,000 students per year, Schultz said. The goal of the Know the Truth program is to prevent drug addiction. The majority of Americans who struggle with addiction began using drugs, smoking or drinking before age 18, according to Teen Challenge.

Know the Truth will also give special presentations for students and families at White Bear Lake Area Schools District Center and Bethel University this fall.

“In addition to working in the schools educating students about the risks of using drugs and alcohol, we inform parents, teachers and

Kids Cooking School closes its doors

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD EDITOR

After 18 months, the Kids Cooking School in Lino Lakes has had to close its doors.

“I am absolutely heart broken and devastated,” said owner and Lino Lakes resident Tiffany Cavegn.

“There were 100 little things that didn’t go as planned, and the little things just added up to spending more money each month than we earned.”

Cavegn, a chef and health coach, is the founder of a nonprofit organization, Healthy Strong Kids of Minnesota whose mission is to teach young people how to cook healthy while providing food assistance to families In need. After teaching community education classes, she realized their was a need for a kids cooking school locally.

In February 2017, the Kids Cooking School opened its doors in a space at 6511 Ware Road in Lino Lakes. The school was known not only for its themed camps while schools were closed and in the summers, but also for its Junior Chef Series and birthday parties.

A couple weeks ago, Cavegn was forced to make the hard decision to close because the business had fallen behind in rent and could no longer afford the space.

“The number one thing was awareness. There were still a ton of people that didn’t know we were

there. Even though there was one day that was full (of students), there were three other days where schools were closed, when we should’ve been full but we weren’t,” she explained, adding families from Centennial Schools as well as White Bear Lake and Mounds View often enrolled in classes/ camps, but families from other neighboring districts did not.

Even though the doors to the business have closed, ideas for what Cavegn calls “Kids Cooking School 2.0” are swirling. “Ideas are dancing in my head like sugar plums on Christmas Eve,” Cavegn said.

The idea at the top of her list is a bus/trailer concept so the school could travel and be more easily accessible.

“One of the things we learned is that even if we got grants to have some free classes, the majority of the children that really need it couldn’t get way up here to Lino Lakes,” she said.

Another idea would be to develop a partnership with a larger, regional nonprofit or organization that would be willing to either house the program or help with the administration side of things.

For now, Cavegn urges people to continue following the business on social media for what comes next. “We are not going away. Stick with us. This is a chapter, it is not the end of the book,” she said.

community members about the most current drug trends, signs to look for, and ways to intervene if necessary,” said Tracee Anderson, director of prevention and community engagement at Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge.

The events will give community members a chance to learn about current substance use trends through hands-on experiences with Minnesota Adult and Teen Challenge’s interactive exhibit, “Cracking the Code on Teen Substance Use.” The Bethel University forum will also include a drug take-back event. Participants will learn how to safeguard their medicine cabinet and be given the opportunity to properly dispose of any unused or unwanted prescriptions.

IF YOU GO: Know the Truth will be part of the White Bear Lake Area Schools mental health series from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 24, at the White Bear Lake District Office, 4855 Bloom Ave., White Bear Lake.

Presenters will visit Bethel University from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1, 3900 Bethel Drive, Arden Hills.

OCTOBER 16, 2018 www.presspubs.com

Newspaper group names CEO Carter and Gene Johnson announced the hiring of Matt McMillan as chief executive officer for their group of newspapers located in Minnesota and Wisconsin.

McMillan joins the company with 25 years of community newspaper experience and for the past four and a half years served as vice president of the Fargo Forum’s newspaper group. He and his wife, Tina, relocated from Fargo to the White Bear area.

Currently, Carter and Gene operate 18 community newspapers and have two newspaper printing plants.

McMillan’s background includes time with Skyway Publications, Minneapolis, Northstar Media in Cambridge, 17 years at the Leader in Hutchinson, Minn., two years with the Aitkin and Isle, Minnesota newspapers, and more recently with the Forum Communications Company.

Matt serves in many industry organizations and is currently on the board of directors of the Inland Press Association and the North Dakota Newspaper Association.

His community involvements include the Hutchinson

Downtown Association where he served as president from 2000-2007, and the Ridgewater College Foundation board where he served as a director. He is also a past president of the Minnesota Newspaper Association.

Tina has been active in the community newspaper business as well, working with newspapers in Boone, Iowa; Hutchinson, Aitkin and Isle, and most recently in Alexandria.

They have a daughter and grandson who reside in Farmington, and a son in Hutchinson.

Carter Johnson commented, “In expanding our newspaper holdings and seeking to be ‘the best source of community information,’ we needed a qualified person like McMillan to bring experienced leadership in these areas.

We are excited for Matt to join our leadership team.”

From Gene Johnson’s point of view, “It’s probably a good time to consider retirement.”

Wade Weber, who has been with the group for more than 30 years, will continue as a senior corporate advisor.

OCTOBER 16, 2018

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 42A (ELECT ONE) RANDY JESSUP – R Education: BA, Pre-Engineering, Bethel University; BS, Chemical Engineering, University of Minnesota; MBA, University of Minnesota Occupation: State representative — I am honored to serve the residents of District 42A in the Minnesota House. To represent well, I must listen well. My goal is to find common ground where solutions can be created and progress can happen.

I’m a collaborator and maximizer, and I’m eager to advocate for the people of 42A by initiating respectful, productive dialogue in the Legislature.

UPS Store owner — I’ve been a small-business owner for 16 years. I train new owners, and I’ve represented owners at the national level.

I also have 14 years of corporate work experience. I value customer care, trust-based teamwork, strategic planning and budget management.

Husband and dad — Jan and I met as Bethel students, and we’ve been married 35 years. We moved to Shoreview in 1998 when we bought my grandma’s home, and we raised our three kids here. We’ve since gained a daughter-in-law and an international student/daughter.

Volunteer/civi experience: For over 30 years, I’ve served in various leadership posts in scouting and at church. For eight years, I served on a national advisory board representing UPS Store owners.

Years of residency: 20 Phone: 651-324-0293 Email: Randyfor42A@gmail.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the state and describe how you would achieve them.

A: Healthcare. Require cost transparency so consumers can easily make comparisons. Investigate and improve elder care. Protect vulnerable adults by making care providers accountable.

Education. Continue to pursue robust school safety measures.

Address the growing problem of student mental health. Invest in innovative education.

Budgets. Stop taxing Social Security benefits. Provide tax relief for families and individuals. Conform the state tax laws to the federal tax code.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the state faces and how would you address them?

A: Besides the important challenges listed above, Minnesotans are faced with these frustrations: Distracted driving. We are behind the curve on this serious issue, and lives are at stake. We need to enact tougher laws and advocate for victims.

Divisive political gridlock. Public servants across all state offices need to renew their commitment to engage in respectful dialogue that is, in the end, productive. We need to work together for the common good of Minnesotans. This includes myself, my legislative colleagues on both sides of the aisle, and the new governor.

Q: How would you promote school safety in the Legislature?

A: Last session I introduced school safety audit legislation to assess school buildings and crisis management plans. I also discussed school safety with our school district superintendent and several local law enforcement leaders. We need to foster stronger relationships between school staff and law enforcement. We need more school psychologists and resource officers to support our students. We need to proactively address student mental health needs and consider suicide-prevention training for teachers. Safe school entrances and facility security upgrades are needed at all schools. I am not in favor of arming our teachers.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: My collaborative leadership style is well suited to our diverse district. I’m a moderate who is fiscally responsible. I support our school board and educators. I listen broadly, and I’m interested in advancing good ideas regardless of affiliation. I’m endorsed by both labor and business. I aim for civility as I tenaciously work to get things done. I believe that bringing people together in bipartisan dialogue yields the best solutions — that’s my track record in the Legislature and in other areas of service.

Several groups have endorsed me this fall, including: Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 110 North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters The International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 49 Minnesota Chamber of Commerce Housing First Minnesota I am grateful for their support and for their members’ efforts in our communities.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 42A KELLY MOLLER – DFL Education: Hamline University School of Law, J.D.; University of Notre Dame, bachelor’s degree (business) Occupation: Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Civic/volunteer experience: Shoreview Public Safety Committee, Mounds View Public Schools Curriculum Advisory Committee, St. Odilia Catholic Church volunteer, coach of community sports Years of residency: 19 Phone: 651-486-8096 Email: votekellymoller@gmail.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the state and describe how you would achieve them.

A: Healthcare: I’ve heard from many people in our community who face challenges with the rising costs of healthcare and medication.

I favor transparency in healthcare costs, and I support allowing more people to buy into the already successful MinnesotaCare healthcare plan, which was created by a bipartisan group of legislators and signed into law by a Republican governor.

Gun violence prevention: It’s time to enact common sense gun

www.presspubs.com reform to keep our kids safe. Most Minnesotans favor keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people by enacting universal background checks and red flag laws.

Support our schools: Mounds View Public Schools has served our family well and I want every child in Minnesota to receive the same opportunities as my sons.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the state faces and how would you address them?

A: We need to move beyond extreme partisanship, which I experienced firsthand when I was working for a nonprofit on a bill that closed a loophole that allowed hit-and-run drivers to escape responsibility. Even though some legislators told me they supported the bill, they voted against it in protest over another, unrelated bill. Thankfully the bill passed, and our roads are safer now. That experience made me realize what kind of legislator I want to be: one who works hard to build relationships across the aisle, and puts Minnesotans, not politics, first.

Q: Describe how you would promote school safety in the Legislature.

A: As a mom and a prosecutor, this issue is personal for me.

Unfortunately, the party in control last year refused to even consider common-sense gun reform. Also, we need to increase funding for school counselors to help youth dealing with mental health issues. While added security measures are needed in schools, gun violence occurs in many other places — movie theaters, churches, etc. Therefore, we must consider safety beyond the school building.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: As a prosecutor and victim rights advocate, I’ve been seeking justice for crime victims for 20 years. I work hard to make sure the voices of victims are heard by the courts. I believe we need representatives at the State Capitol who will elevate the voices of people who are impacted by the laws created. I understand how the legislative process works, but more importantly, I know how laws impact people’s lives. I also know our community well. My husband was born and raised in Shoreview and together we have lived here for nearly 20 years. Our children attend public schools, and my family actively volunteers in our community.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 42B (ELECT ONE) JAMIE BECKER-FINN BECKER FINN – DFL Education: JD, Summa Cum Laude, William Mitchell College of Law; BA, Psychology, University of Minnesota Occupation: Attorney, currently employed as Assistant Hennepin County Attorney Civic/volunteer experience: State Representative, District 42B; Former Roseville Parks & Recreation Commissioner; Volunteer, Bountiful Backpacks hunger relief project; Volunteer, Adopt-aPark ; Previously served in AmeriCorps, Youth Center Volunteer Coordinator Years of residency: 13 (lifelong Minnesotan) Email: Jamie@Becker-Finn.org Q: List your top two or three priorities for the state and describe how you would achieve them.

A: First, there are several bills that did not pass last session that would have immediate impacts on Minnesotans: Prevention of elder abuse, addressing the shortfall in disability services funding, and tax conformity. Most legislators will vote in favor of these things if we move the bills forward individually without attaching controversial provisions.

Second, we need to work towards an actual mental healthcare system. Right now, there is no true system and it’s hurting individuals and our communities as a whole. I will advocate for a mental health committee to give topics like mental health, addiction and suicide prevention the attention they deserve. I will work to bring mental health services into our schools, better provide resources for veterans, and enforce true parity in mental health insurance coverage.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the state faces and how would you address them?

A: First, making sure our economy is working for everyone — that workers have access to jobs with living wages and meaningful benefits, and that employers have the workforce they need to succeed. We can address these challenges by building partnerships with schools (both high school and higher education/vocational training), employers and every level of government, and investing in programs that work.

Second, the old way of doing things — worrying about who takes credit for what, hiding bad policy in enormous omnibus bills — needs to end. One way to address this is by leading by example, being honest with voters about where you stand on the issues and pushing leadership in both parties to focus on where we agree instead of where we disagree.

Q: Describe how you would promote school safety in the Legislature.

A: I will continue to work with schools, parents, students and law enforcement to keep students safe. This will require a multipronged approach. I will work on preventing gun violence by keeping guns out of the hands of people who are dangerous to themselves or others, improving access to mental health resources for students, and helping schools make improvements to facilities and policies.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: I work hard, I do my homework, and I truly care about the people in our community. I take my role seriously and am not afraid to take on tough issues. As an attorney, I understand how the law works and how to advocate for what matters. As a parent and longtime resident, I know the concerns and priorities of our community. I believe good representation requires regular communication with residents and am committed to remaining accessible and open with constituents.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 42B YELE-MIS YELE MIS YANG – R Education: Associate Degree in Legal Administration Assistant, Minneapolis Business College Occupation: Youth Pastor, Immanuel Assembly of God Civic/volunteer experience: Youth pastor, AmeriCorps Promise Fellow, Merge Twin Cities Years of residency: 4 Phone: 612-564-5144 Email: Yang4MNHouse@gmail.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the state and describe how you would achieve them.

A: My top priorities would be government spending appropriation and education improvement and funding. In recent years, Minnesota has been receiving surpluses in tax collection.

Instead of improving roads and bridges, provide tax cuts for small businesses, or invest into student intervention programs, government is spending in building new government buildings, purchase equipment for government, but later increase taxes for Minnesotans for lack of funding.

For education, we need to look for unconventional options to improve student performances and reevaluate unattractive programs. Student performances are not improving, and the current methods are outdated. Current students are in a different learning environment compared to previous generations. One unconventional method would be investing into Genesis Works or Upper Bound student programs, expanding them.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the state faces and how would you address them?

A: One of most the significant challenges is finding qualified labor force. Currently, our state is not up-to-date with the skilled labor force to fill in the retiring jobs. One definite way to address this problem is to connect local schools with chambers of commerce.

Chambers of commerce are the forefront of future opportunities and employers. Schools could work with chambers to provide paid internships, school accreditation for working and/or community services, and early hands-on-experience trainings. By encouraging and opening the doors early for students to explore, we can increase the labor force, which will increase revenue for the state and expansion of businesses.

Q: Describe how you would promote school safety in the Legislature.

A: We need to make sure that local law enforcement agencies are improving relationships with schools as well as having resource officers in schools. We need to improve security protocols, funding for local schools’ preference of a more secured facility, such as security-controlled doors, and deal with the issue of mental health in the community. Lastly, we want to make sure that individuals with felony criminal convictions or questionable mental health reporting do not have access to guns.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: I am the best candidate because I have spent my life working with my community, especially with young men and women as well as the elderly senior citizens. I have heavily focused on bettering students and communities, making sure they are working for a better future. We need to empower students and communities with options for improvement rather than wait for government assistance. I have spent years building students and communities, living amongst them so I know what is needed and what needs to be changed. I can inspire and empower young people and communities.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 38B (ELECT ONE) PATTI ANDERSON – R Education: B.A. University of Minnesota, M.A. Hamline University, Forest Lake High School Occupation: Small business owner Civic/volunteer experience: Numerous.

Highlights of current or past would include: White Bear Area Chamber, Rotary International, Board member – YMCA, Councilmember and Mayor, MN State Auditor, MN Commissioner Department of Employee Relations, President MN Free Market Institute Years of residency: 11-year resident of the district.

Phone: 651-429-2888 Email: patti@pattianderson.org Q: List your top two or three priorities for the state and describe how you would achieve them.

A: We must start with conforming our state tax code to the new federal code so our residents are not penalized. As part of tax reform, we need to eliminate he unfair income tax on social security benefits (as 37 other states have done) and make sure we efficiently fund priorities while keeping spending under control.

We need to continue to work to lower health care costs through price transparency, decreasing the price of prescription drugs while preserving quality and patient choice. I am opposed to any proposal put out by the left which would have state government take over our health care and result in individuals losing their doctor and employer sponsored plan while tripling state income taxes to pay for it.

We must support our veterans, improve the small business climate and eliminate excessive regulations – both business and personal. Finally, it is vital that we ensure we have schools of excellence that prepare all kids for success.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the state faces and how would you address them?

A: Minnesota is a high tax state in a cold environment. While most of us are life-long natives, we see an increasingly large number of residents –— both young and old — leaving our state.

A significant part of that is due to our tax code which has some

of the highest rates in the nation. While we must properly fund services, there can only be so much. Over the past year, we have seen numerous examples of waste and fraud in state government and that is unacceptable. We can’t have dysfunctional driver’s license computer systems, or people defrauding the state child care system of $100 million and sending it off to terrorist nations.

Our tax dollars must go to things that work.

We are finally beginning to help lower costs of health care but need to do much more. Prescription drug costs are way too high and we must create better market mechanisms to lower those costs for all.

Finally, we need to recognize that technology is changing rapidly which means the way we do things now may not be the best way in the future. From transportation, to energy, education and career paths, we need to be thinking ahead to avoid costly mistakes now.

Q: Describe how you would promote school safety in the Legislature.

A: Having locked access at all doors would significantly help with school safety.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job.

A: I have a long background in both government and business having served in various roles throughout my career including as Mayor and Council member, MN State Auditor and State Commissioner. I have also built two separate small businesses which have employed about 75 employees each. I understand the issues we face and know how to help solve them. Our district has always had excellent representation and I hope to be able to carry-on that tradition.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES DISTRICT 38B AMI WAZLAWIK – DFL Education: BA in Psychology from the University of Minnesota, Master’s in Public Policy from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs Occupation: Substitute Program Assistant, Extended Day, White Bear Lake Area Schools Civic/volunteer experience: Served in AmeriCorps three times, twice as a reading tutor and once as a tutoring program coordinator in Twin Cities schools; volunteered on one of the White Bear Lake Area Schools’ strategic planning action teams; member of Minnesota Coalition Against Sexual Assault public policy committee (2014 – Present); former mammal nursery volunteer at the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center Years of residency: 28+ years Phone: 651-270-7986 Email: ami@amiwazlawik.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the state and describe how you would achieve them.

A: In my conversations with community members, their top concerns have been the cost of healthcare, the political dysfunction in our legislature, and education, followed closely by economic security. I will work to make healthcare more affordable by offering consumers another choice – a public option – by letting people buy-in to the Minnesota Care program. I’m committed to legislative reform – we shouldn’t be cramming everything into large bills and waiting until the last minute to discuss them. I will fight to make sure that we continue to invest in early learning programs and increase funding for mental health services in schools. Finally, I will support efforts to increase wages and benefits for working people, and continue to invest in job creation and training programs.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the state faces and how would you address them?

A: I believe that the rising cost of healthcare, our ‘age wave,’ and legislative dysfunction are significant challenges facing our state. A Minnesota Care buy-in option would offer an affordable alternative to private insurance. We can also do more to support caregivers as well as seniors who want to stay in their homes, and use information from reports on the ‘age wave’ to inform other policies. We should return Minnesota’s legislature to its tradition of developing and passing single-issue bills throughout the legislative session, rather than the current practice of passing huge omnibus bills during the last minutes of the session.

Q: Describe how you would promote school safety in the Legislature.

A: While financial support to allow schools to enhance their physical security must be considered, we must also give educators support to address internal issues such as mental health concerns and bullying. We do not provide sufficient funding for school counselors and related support staff — these deficiencies are also threats to school safety.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: For me, running for office is the next step in my public service journey – it’s not about ego or power but about serving the community and advancing the common good. Growing up in this community, I’ve come to know the people and places that make it distinctive and I feel that this is a key attribute that makes me uniquely qualified to represent the people of 38B. I have experience working in a variety of sectors as well as an educational

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF (ELECT ONE) BOB FLETCHER Education: Hamline University B.A. Political Science and Government Occupation: Mayor, City of Vadnais Heights; Director, Law Enforcement Audit & Data Services LLC; Former Ramsey County Sheriff for 16 years Civic/volunteer experience: Councilmember, City of Vadnais Heights; Ramsey County Sheriff 1995 – 2011; Shoreview Area Youth Baseball Coach; Vadnais Heights Youth Baseball Coach; Mounds View Area Youth Football Coach; Johnson Area Youth Hockey Coach; Sheriff Department Reading Program Mentor; Boy Scouts of America Northern Star President’s Council; Original “Nightmoves” Basketball Coach Years of residency: 63 Phone: 651-248-2400 Email: fletcherreiter@aol.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the sheriff’s office and describe how you would achieve them.

A: My top priorities include keeping our community safe through professional law enforcement, providing juvenile crime prevention activities coupled with intervention programs that help keep kids in school and away from destructive activities, and focusing enforcement efforts on career criminals that cause the greatest harm to our community. This includes proactive monitoring of sexual offenders. To learn more, see our seven point “Public Safety Agenda” at www.FletcherForSheriff.com.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the office faces and how would you address them?

A: First, the growing number of individuals with chemical addition and mental health needs coming into the criminal justice system requires significant detention reform. Second, the opioid epidemic took the lives of 150,000 people in America during the last three years. As the father of one of those I am committed to combating this problem with a variety of new initiatives. Third, the widening gap of distrust between police and communities of color requires transparency in police operations, new training and mandatory use of body cameras. Expanding the pool of persons eligible to become police officers will also help in this effort.

Q: Describe the role you believe law enforcement plays within a community.

A: Government must ensure a safe, secure and stable environment for citizens to prosper and grow. Law enforcement agencies are the primary ambassadors of our government’s security and justice efforts and must provide a transparent system of enforcement. We earn the public’s trust through relationship building, transparency and accountability in police operations and actions. New technologies such as police body cameras allow agencies to demonstrate that transparency. Two years have past since the death of Philando Castile. The failure of the the sheriff’s administration to implement a body camera system since then cannot be excused.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: As a lifelong Ramsey County resident I understand the issues that matter in our community and am committed to including all parties in the decision-making process. My experience leading in government as the Vadnais Heights mayor, Ramsey County sheriff and as a Saint Paul police commander has prepared me to advance public safety initiatives and community partnerships.

My close working relationship with the correctional officers and deputies ensures a healthy work environment that benefits the community, inmates and staff. My past initiatives as your sheriff included proactive programs for youth literacy and athletics, safe schools, drug prevention and community engagement. During those 16 years, serious crime dropped by 20 percent.

A: First, maintain excellent standards in employment through our character based model of recruitment, hiring, training and promotion. At Ramsey County, we hire for character and train for skill. Second, continue to improve mental health services in our detention center and across our criminal justice system by working with our County Board and criminal justice partners in my role as chair of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. Third, continue to manage the implementation of our new generation of squad cams, body cams and stationary cameras throughout the entire sheriff’s office.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the office faces and how would you address them?

A: One of the biggest issues we are facing is the rising addiction problem we see with opioids, synthetics and other narcotics.

We are working in partnership with nonprofits and local law enforcement on prosecuting traffickers and increasing our focus on pathways to treatment for people within the criminal justice system and out in the community. We are working to provide hope to families and those suffering with addiction. These issues affect many people across our community and lead to a tragic loss of productivity of good people in the workplace and in many different aspects of community life.

Q: Describe the role you believe law enforcement plays within a community.

A: Service to others. We do this best when we listen with empathy and act with compassion. Our job is to respond to the needs of those in our community with a heart of service. We are at our best when we work within our resources to help those who need our assistance in solving problems and participate in creating a safe community that helps people and businesses thrive.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: As Ramsey County Sheriff, I have worked as a change agent to make our organization more diverse, responsive to our community and socially progressive on community health and wellness issues. In 28 years, I have worked at all organizational levels in policing and at the sheriff’s office I have made sure we are a trusted partner with the community. My ability to personally work with residents and with local government in a highly cooperative and collaborative manner has greatly affected the effectiveness and trust our sheriff’s office has in our community and the region beyond.

Phone: 612-414-2581 Email: Luke@greatermnlaw.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the attorney’s office and describe how you would achieve them.

A: I would say reducing the number of illegal weapon discharges in the county should be addressed by encouraging the public to be extra vigilant about reporting such occurrences immediately so that proactive efforts may be made in response.

After this, I would say the county should be vigilant in protecting the rights of the growing elderly and retired population by addressing any threats to senior welfare and safety.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the office faces and how would you address them?

A: While poverty levels have dropped in many areas around the Twin Cities, they have grown worse during recent times in the city of Saint Paul. This is connected with the recession that began several years ago.

As poverty rates increase, society often suffers higher levels of friction and crime. This said, I believe a big challenge for the Ramsey County attorney’s office will be assisting Saint Paul in not only alleviating crime, but working with the community to encourage mechanisms that can bring prosperity back to at least what it was before the housing crash. This could be done by enforcing the rights of tenants, supporting the mandates of Minnesota employment and union laws, and generally protecting the rights of the poor so that they may regain their stability and independence.

Such an undertaking, as might be permitted by the Ramsey County Charter, would assist the area as a whole considering all the cities of Ramsey County would benefit, lest urban blight and

tribulation spread.

Q: Describe how you believe the criminal justice system can benefit society.

A: Briefly, there are four related aspects of the criminal justice system that might be said to benefit society that I will mention, though there are more than can be listed herein.

The first is the realization that, at its core, criminal justice is the enforcement mechanism of laws made by the government that are meant to represent the collective will of the people.

The next thing to consider is that there are no secondary motivations for the existence of this system, such as the suppression of some members of society.

The third aspect to consider is that society’s laws, and the philosophy of natural law, do not always co-exist. The weak must be protected from the strong.

The fourth to contemplate is that faith in the government and free market exchange may be encouraged by the understanding that when a bargain is not honored and fraud is found, the innocent parties shall have their rights protected.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: Because I will be a staunch advocate for the interests of the common voter.

these initiatives. We also need improved transit to allow more efficient commuting and better transportation options for seniors.

I will work with the Met Council and innovative new services.

Q: Would you support tax levy increases, and if so, how much and under what circumstances?

A: Shoreview has a strong tradition of long range financial planning that has allowed for small incremental tax levy increases that are manageable. Our city tax levy remains as one of the lowest in the metro because of this approach. While we know that all of our costs continue to rise, the goal is always to keep levy increases to a minimum.

Q: What do you believe makes a great city leader?

A: Leaders need to demonstrate honesty, integrity, a willingness to listen and learn and ultimately to make the best decisions for the entire community.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: I have gained valuable experience by being involved in local government for more than 35 years. In addition, I have been involved with the Regional Council of Mayors and learned valuable information from other municipal leaders in the metropolitan area. Serving as mayor gives me the opportunity to give back to the community and share residents’ concerns as we create policies for the future.

SHOREVIEW PRESS Tax increases should only come when needed for new projects, services or to maintain a system if all other viable methods of controlling cost have not worked out. I personally feel that the tax system should be examined and reviewed to fix loopholes and other methods people may abuse to avoid paying their fair share in taxes before we look at increasing taxes.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: I believe I bring new a unique points of view to the council. I wanted to run to bring representation for a younger generation.

It’s not that I think my point of view is better or inherently holds more merit but I believe having a diversity of viewpoints will help the City Council better handle problems and represent its population.

A: I am committed to continuous improvement and working to improve the system’s response to the challenges we face in our community, including combatting gender-based violence; building trust by increasing transparency; and improving outcomes for youth by partnering with schools and nonprofits.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the office faces and how would you address them?

A: As County Attorney, I understand how critically important public safety is to people in Ramsey County. That means having a sense of safety in our community and ensuring justice for those who become victims of crime. I also believe people are interested in finding ways to make the justice system more effective, rather than simply doing our part on the criminal justice assembly line.

Disparities are inherent in our public systems and I think a variety of incidents that have occurred over the past several years have shined a light on these inequities. There is a growing interest among people who live and work in our community for public officials to bring increased transparency to the work we do and focus on continuous improvement to mitigate the impacts of implicit bias and ensure the justice system is fair and equitable for all.

Q: Describe how you believe the criminal justice system can benefit society.

A: Transforming our systems, laws, and policies requires a multipronged approach to ensure our efforts are sustainable and do not result in unintended consequences.

To ensure a proper balance, we have launched innovative partnerships with police, justice partners, and community leaders on a variety of fronts, including drug sentencing reform, a community task force on safe schools, sexual assault review and combatting sex trafficking.

I will continue my track record of leadership and reform in the criminal justice system with innovative efforts like these.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: I am a minister of justice. My job is not solely to seek convictions, but to do justice. I am focused on bringing people together to solve problems and to partner with the community on the problems that come to my attention as County Attorney.

It is also my job to ensure I protect the integrity of the process recognizing that sometimes that I should not defend myself because I may do it at the expense of the accused or the legitimacy of the overall process. After almost eight years on the job, I believe that my overall vision and values are well known and have been tested in numerous ways. I will continue to be the lead based upon who I am, but recognize that my life continues to evolve as I learn and gain wisdom.

A: My top priority if elected is to explore ways to lower the cost of housing in Shoreview by encouraging the development of multi-family homes such as townhomes and duplexes. I also want to explore the possibility of a municipal fiber network to foster competition in our ISP market. I would hope to link this build out with needed road maintenance to help limit cost. This project would generate revenue for the city once complete while also helping bring affordable high speed internet to the residents of Shoreview.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them?

A: I think the most significant challenges the city faces revolve around its growing population. Shoreview is a mostly (95 percent) developed city. This increases the cost of housing and makes it difficult to build more housing. Shoreview’s growing population, and the Twin Cities metro area in general, is bringing in more cultural diversity. Which is a positive thing. However, it brings unique challenges that civic leaders and groups like the police need to be prepared to address. I hope to be able to use my anthropology education to help foster an understanding between different cultural groups and make sure Shoreview is prepared to handle changes in demographics.

Q: Would you support tax levy increases, and if so, how much and under what circumstances?

A: I have a long history of working in a tax office. My mother has owned her own CPA firm almost as far back as I can remember and I have always been in the office helping in some capacity. I think this gives me a unique perspective on how taxes can affect businesses, individuals and communities as a whole. I would not be opposed to tax levy increases when they are necessary.

Years of residency: 17 years (2001-present) Phone: 651-403-3422 Email: cory@coryspringhorn.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them.

A: First, I want Shoreview to continue to be known as a city that values its lakes, parks, trails, recreational opportunities, and public safety, as evidenced by our responsible investments in these assets and resources. Second,I want all stakeholders in the city to feel welcome and included — in our neighborhoods, in our business community, and in our civic leadership — regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, age, or disability status. As elected officials, we are responsible for setting this tone by advocating for equity and inclusion in our interactions with the public. Third, I want everyone who lives, works or otherwise spends time in the city to feel that, if anything, we are over-communicating about what is happening in Shoreview, across multiple channels, including the city’s website, printed publications, television channel and online social media accounts.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them?

A: We continue to see tensions around redevelopment projects, and it is often a delicate balancing act to support redevelopment that provides net positive benefits to the city without sacrificing the unique characteristics that make residents feel connected to their community. Facilitating opportunities for open and honest communication among all stakeholders is key to ensuring positive outcomes.

Q: Would you support tax levy increases, and if so, how much and under what circumstances?

A: I don’t like levy increases, but yes, I will support them when appropriate, just as I don’t like it when the cost of milk, postage stamps or socks go up, but I continue to buy them because the products are essential and the cost increases are modest and reasonable. In the last few years, the city levy has increased a bit more than I would prefer, and I am nevertheless willing to defend those increases because they have resulted in improvements to our public safety infrastructure and have added value to being a resident of our city (eg.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: In my first term on the council, I have delivered on my promise to be responsive, respectful, reasonable and responsible, and I intend to continue to make this my mission if voters elect me to a second term. I am always learning from the people of this city, and it is my honor and pleasure to listen to people share their views and concerns with me.

NORTH OAKS MAYOR (ELECT ONE) MARK R R. AZMAN Education: Totino Grace High School (Fridley); College of the Holy Cross (Worcester, MA), William Mitchell College of Law (St. Paul).

Occupation: Attorney (Partner), O’Meara, Leer, Wagner & Kohl, P.A. (Edina).

Civic/volunteer experience: I was elected to two 3-year terms on the North Oaks Home Owners Association, serving as president for 4 years. I also was a founding member of the Deep Lake Preservation Association.

Years of residency: I grew up in North Oaks (1973-1992), and moved back with my family as an adult (2003 - current).

Phone: 651-295-9545 Email: mark.r.azman@gmail.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them.

A: First, the city should endeavor to ensure its activities protect the balance of the public and private interests of the community.

This priority requires the city to recognize and remain mindful of how its actions may impact private property owners, while still promoting public interests as appropriate. Second, city officials should engage in a cooperative relationship with the stakeholders in the community on day-to-day operations and long-term planning. This is accomplished by making it a priority to pursue a dialogue with the stakeholders on the issues, and as appropriate, partnering in the evaluation of decisions that will affect the community. Finally, the city should work to study, complete and enact a workable, reasonable housing maintenance ordinance, preferably within one year.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them?

A: The significant challenges I see are discussed in my above priorities. I also think community members remain concerned about safety and security, which I think are matters that can be addressed through continued police presence and involvement with the community; cooperation and dialogue with stakeholders (NOHOA, Sub-Associations, Country Club, organizations, businesses and residents), and evaluation of strategic revisions at entrances.

Q: Would you support tax levy increases, and if so, how much and under what circumstances?

A: If elected and presented with an issue that could create additional tax burdens on our community, the decision would require an analysis that scrutinizes critical items. For example, I would seek out and review community input on the issue, the community’s need for the service, whether other tax-neutral options were reasonably available, what the city’s consultants and administrators were recommending, how the potential item fits in with the city’s long-term planning, how other cities were managing the issue, and the bottom-line impact on the city budget.

Q: What do you believe makes a great city leader?

A: A great city leader starts with transparency of city government activities and planning before decisions are made, and informed communications to the citizens about those pre-decision activities and planning.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: I grew up in North Oaks and returned as an adult, with nearly 35 years of total residency. I listen to the concerns of all of our citizens and businesses, recognize the need to balance the public and private interests, understand the unique organization of the city, and engage stakeholders to reach consensus. In my professional life, I have represented public entities for nearly 25 years. I served on our homeowner’s board for 6 years (4 as president), led the board through the establishment and success of new neighborhoods, and improved the governance and longterm prudent financial health of the association.

Years of residency: I lived in North Oaks between 1971 and approximately 1982, during my junior high years through high school and college, etc. My family (Colleen and two daughters) and I moved to North Oaks in 1996. The girls have grown and left but Colleen and I continue to call North Oaks home.

Phone: 651-769-3664 Email: GNelson@cityofnorthoaks.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them.

A: North Oaks city government is expected to maintain a high level of privacy, security and safety for its residents. That is our priority. We are exploring options to improve security at city entrances. Government is also responsible for working with development plans within the city. I consider this an extremely important responsibility. Other priorities include updating and improving communications with residents and continued work on management options relative to the housing stock in the city.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them?

A: As noted above, one challenge is helping residents by promoting good maintenance of the properties in the city. We are working to develop mechanisms (such as a maintenance ordinance) to increase the city’s ability to improve and manage maintenance issues related to properties. I think that city government needs to focus communication and responsiveness with the residents living in the more recently developed areas. I am pleased that our council reflects this effort. I want the effort to continue. We want to continue to offer an attractive community to residents of all ages.

Q: Would you support tax levy increases, and if so, how much and under what circumstances?

A: Our operating budget is quite modest. Tax levy increases when they occur are generally driven by increases in the costs of the contracts that we have with the Ramsey County Sheriff and the Lake Johanna Fire Department. The city is in excellent financial condition.

North Oaks, a slightly rural former home and farm of James J. Hill, continues to be a desirable suburb of choice.

Q: What do you believe makes a great city leader?

A: A good city leader has an ability to promote the ideas and projects generated by members of the city council and our residents with the goal of supporting the city’s mission. I also firmly believe that my job as mayor is to ensure that City Council meetings continue to be conducted in a manner that is respectful, impartial, and transparent and that allow all positions to be fully considered. In that regard, I hope that we are able to continue to improve our collaboration with our homeowners association.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: I served on the planning commission, served as deputy mayor and now serve as mayor. I believe that my ability to work with all members of the city council and residents is important. I think that my ability to manage city council meetings to ensure that issues are raised, discussed and resolved efficiently is important. I think that our most important resource in North Oaks are the residents themselves.

Years of residency: 8 Phone: 651-792-7750 Email: kararies4council@gmail.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them.

A: Keeping our community both safe and secure for all ages to live and play and responsibly maintaining our natural surroundings to promote a healthy lifestyle. Another priority is improving communication with the residents and treating residents as important stakeholders in the process.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them?

A: Sections of North Oaks were developed during different time periods, and thus, present different issues. City officials need to listen to the residents of each area and address their needs accordingly.

Only through open communication with residents can a constructive course of action be determined. Some homes in North Oaks may have maintenance issues. Working with the residents and developing reasonable policies to address these issues is necessary to help maintain housing values. Newer portions of North Oaks may have concerns with safety and security. I will work with residents to address any issue.

Additionally, the environment needs to be cared for responsibly so that wildlife and residential life can thrive harmoniously keeping North Oaks attractive to new families. As any issue arises, I will communicate with the residents about the concern, gather facts and research the problem to develop a solution that addresses the need of the community.

Q: Would you support tax levy increases, and if so, how much and under what circumstances?

A: Only after proper financial review of the previous allocation of tax money has been conducted, and analyzing and prioritizing the current and future needs of the community, then an increase if required would be acceptable. A reasonable tax levy increase would be appropriate as long as its required to support our community, the financial allocation is manageable and it is for important needs supporting the health, safety and general welfare of the community.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: In addition to my four years as planning commissioner, my problem solving approach, developed through my experience as an engineer and patent attorney, will be a great asset to council and community as challenges arise. My years on the planning commission helping residents with their property challenges provided insight into the municipal process and issues unique to North Oaks. I will listen to residents and improve communication as these are essential in making well researched decisions. I have the general welfare of the community at heart when making decisions. I have the foresight and skills to plan for the future of our community making sure that North Oaks thrives for years to come.

NORTH OAKS CITY COUNCIL KATY ROSS Education: M.B.A., University of St. Thomas Occupation: Information technology manager; small business owner; President, North Oaks Community Foundation.

Civic/volunteer experience: I have a strong, personal commitment to volunteering and community service that began when I was a teenager. In addition to numerous volunteer activities ivities in connection with school and community related events, I have been active with NOHOA, the City Planning Commission, the City Council and the North Oaks Community Foundation. In 2007, I

OCTOBER 16, 2018 chaired the NOHOA Office Space Committee in order to move NOHOA out of the Gatehouse and into shared space with the city.

In 2008 I was appointed to the Planning Commission, have served as Chair, and continue to serve on it today. In 2011, I became a Founding Director of the North Oaks Community Foundation, and for the last several years have served as its President.

I was appointed to the City Council in May 2014, and was elected to a full term in 2015. On the Council, I started and continue to chair the Recycling Committee. I have also served as the liaison to the Lake Johanna Fire Department, and currently am the liaison to Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.

Years of Residency: 22 Phone: 651-792-7750 Email: kross@cityofnorthoaks.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them.

A: My top two priorities for the city are safety and security and keeping North Oaks attractive to new families. Safety and security is the top priority. Two years ago the city hired Mike Burrell as our fulltime Ramsey County deputy. This has increased the police presence in the community, and Mike has done a great job meeting residents and working with various groups to improve security. We need to continue to work with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office as well as with NOHOA to ensure that our community continues to be safe.

We must also look for creative ways to keep North Oaks attractive to new families. A community that is attractive to a new generation of families benefits all residents by helping maintain property values, bringing new ideas and energy, and enhancing broader community involvement.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them?

A: Two of the challenges that we have as a council are communicating with constituents and working with NOHOA. We need to be more proactive about reaching out to residents and learning about their concerns and issues. Then we need to take what we learn and act to address those issues.

The second challenge is working more closely with NOHOA. Both organizations play essential governance roles in North Oaks. To avoid disjointed community leadership, the city must improve its working relationship with NOHOA. Working together is the only way to effectively find common solutions that will work for our residents and continue to protect their privacy.

Q: Would you support tax levy increases, and if so, how much and under what circumstances?

A: I would be willing to support a modest tax levy increase if supported by strong financial and factual analysis and, if after discussions with residents, it appears to be beneficial to our community.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: From the outset of my tenure on the City Council, I made a commitment to reach out to residents, and to respond to calls and emails from them. I believe in listening to their concerns and gathering information from all sides of an issue. I value open discussions and coming up with solutions that are in the best interests of our community. And then implementing those solutions.

I am a planner, a problem solver, and a doer. I have spent ten years on the planning commission and the last four years on the council and believe that I have made a difference in North Oaks. I want to continue to make North Oaks an even better place to live.

NORTH OAKS CITY COUNCIL SARA SHAH Education: St. Olaf College with Bachelor of Arts Degrees in both Economics and Political Science Occupation: I currently serve on the North Oaks City Council.

Years of residency: 2 Phone: 612-440-7388 Email: SShah@cityofnorthoaks.com Q: List your top two or three priorities for the city and describe how you would achieve them.

A: First, ensure meaningful dialogue and engagement with all residents.

During my tenure on the city council I have helped implement a citywide email listserv. We will be rolling out a city-wide survey tool in the coming months to better collect resident input.

Second, enhance the safety and security of North Oaks. I am helping assess whether a variety of technology options can enhance our city’s safety. I will continue to partner with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s department and individual citizens to help maintain the safety and security of our community.

Third, preserving and enhancing property values by encouraging the responsible renewal and remodeling of existing housing stock. The city should encourage efforts to increase property values by reducing barriers to remodel and renew our housing stock.

Q: What are the most significant challenges you believe the city faces and how would you address them?

A: Our unique governmental structure requires the City Council, NOHOA and the North Oaks Company to work together. I see great benefit in these separate entities developing a shared vision for the future of North Oaks. A comprehensive, unified approach to community building will help North Oaks retain its position as a premier Twin Cities community.

Q: Would you support tax levy increases, and if so, how much and under what circumstances?

A: North Oaks currently has the lowest tax levy of any of our neighboring communities. While I am strongly against governmental bloat and tax increases, our tax levy should keep pace with inflation. The city of North Oaks operates on a tight budget that I feel is reasonable and efficient.

Q: Why do you believe you are the best candidate for the job?

A: I currently serve on the North Oaks City Council. My experience as a successful corporate consultant, project manager and small business co-owner qualifies me to continue serving on the council. Finally, as a mother of three young children, our family represents the many young families moving into the community.

Faces of the wetlands: White Bear Sedge

VLAWMO | SUBMITTED

The White Bear Sedge is shade-dwelling, forest-loving sedge, finding a cozy niche in wooded ponds and wooded borders of open wetlands.

This face of wetlands doesn’t have much of a face. But the botanist who cataloged and named this plant had a face. In the 1890s, Edmund P. Sheldon found a unique, uncatalogued sedge in abundance around White Bear Lake.

For whatever reason, he decided to name it the White Bear Sedge. The scientific Latin name, Carex albaursina breaks down to mean just what its common name says: Carex (sedge), alba (white), and ursine (bear).

Sheldon was a botanist with a B.S. from the University of Minnesota. He traveled between Oregon, Missouri and Minnesota on many botany adventures. When he noticed the White Bear sedge, it was unique in that it had broader leaves than most sedges, with whitish bases and intricate spikes rising from the center.

Sedges are one of the most abundant wetland plants, with an exhaustive amount of diversity.

Sedges are wetland specialists because wetlands provide them a wide

variety of soil options to choose from. Some wetlands are saturated, some are partially wet and some are only wet at certain times of the year. Over centuries, new types of sedges have filled in these spaces all along the moisture spectrum. Sometimes even a tiny adjustment over time inspires a new sedge species. With this diversity in soil and plant life, wetlands are a powerhouse for the food chain. Insects, beetles, aphids, flies, moths, butterflies, grasshoppers, birds and deer are all known to feed on sedges.

To guarantee first dibs, some insects have even chosen to focus on a a single type of sedge. For example, the Clemen’s Cosmoperix Moth focuses on the leaves of the White Bear Sedge. In this way, wetlands form an intricate web of relationships. When one part of

the web is tugged, it pulls on all the others.

The White Bear Sedge actually grows beyond White Bear Lake to reach from New York to Georgia to Minnesota, and even into Canada. It’s one of the more shade-dwelling, forest-loving sedges, finding a cozy niche in wooded ponds and wooded borders of open wetlands. White Bear Sedge is also cross-pollinated by the wind, grows up to 24 inches, and has rhizomotous (running) roots that create colonies on a forest floor. Good places to look for it include the Gateway Trail, Lee and Rose Warner Nature Center, Tamarack Nature Center, or Century College’s Wood Duck Trail, among others.

But there’s something else that’s noteworthy about the White Bear Sedge. At the turn of the century, many plant species were being cata-

loged in a wave of scientific advancement. With dozens of species named after the discoverer, Sheldon instead chose a place to represent this humble, sleek sedge. It makes one wonder how this come to be. Was he appreciative of the White Bear Lake area, or the lake itself?

Did he have fond memories there, or enjoy the scenery? Was he lazy with naming, taking the route of convenience?

We may never know his motives or reasoning, but Edmund Sheldon seems like he’d fit in nicely in Minnesota culture. As comical as “Minnesota

nice” is at times, those who relate to it know that it also serves to make space for appreciating the broader community.

We can see that our human community isn’t so different from the wetland community... but what if they’re really of the same web? After all, what’s in a name?

What’s in a place? What values, inspiration, and appreciation do we attach to our place, and how are they reflected back to us through the stories we tell? Sometimes our own stories seem unclear or torn in different directions. But like a botanist,

we can always pause and take a closer look. Doing so helps to see and appreciate our own intricate web of relationships.

Submitted by Nick Voss, Vadnais Lake Area Water Management Organization (VLAWMO) education and outreach coordinator. VLAWMO does a series on creatures and plants in the watershed.

T RUMAN COMPANY TOP-RATED COIN AND PRECIOUS METAL EXCHANGE

M

ore than 40 years in business has given The Truman Company owner Roger Westerling a clear idea of what customers want in a coin and precious metals dealer. Most of all, he says, it’s to be treated fairly.

“I believe in the repeat customer. If you treat everyone fairly they will come back,” Westerling said. “Doing business in the right and honest way is important. Most of our business is repeat customers. I want to make everyone’s experience pleasant and as stress-free as possible.”

The Truman Company buys gold and silver bullion, old gold and silver jewelry (scrap gold), and other collectables. Their specialty is the coin business. Licensed by the State of Minnesota as a Bullion Coin Dealer, the company is one of the leading rare coin and precious metals dealers in the Twin Cities, often beating the prices of low-cost internet companies.

Personalized service and competitive pricing are the hallmarks of The Truman Company. Taking care of customers and giving them a fair price are values handed down from Westerling’s Uncle Truman, who taught him about the metals and coins business as a young man. After obtaining his business degree, Westerling spent many years working with some of the finest and most prominent dealers in the business before establishing The Truman Company in 2010.

Customers may be local, regional or national. Westerling 1 SAVOUR prefers the local business because he loves interacting with customers.

Aidan and Roger buying another coin deal with the help of Sonny.

Often, he says, people come in wanting to buy something tangible thinking that the price will go up. Sometimes a customer will inherit an item or a whole estate, with no clue what they have. Westerling and his team go into the home and make a list of every item, with their offer price.

Some of their more unusual ‘finds?’

“Coins that people have no idea that they had something rare until we tell them. One case comes to mind they thought they just had old baseball cards but they had cards from the 50s-60s that were in the low sixfigures.”

The biggest mistake people make, Westerling said, is to clean an item. “Do Not Clean,” he emphasized. “It totally destroys the collector value of any coin.

Just box them up and bring them to us. We’re happy to sort and itemize and we can do it much faster.”

Westerling and his store manager Aidan Kelly, both love to be in the shop every day, “not knowing what will walk in the door next.” And of course, Sonny, the labrador retriever, is in the shop every day to greet visitors.

Starting in September, The Truman Company will be open weekdays until 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10-2, or by appointment. Visit The Truman Company at 2585 Hamline Avenue North Suite E, Roseville, MN, call 651-582-3865 or www.trumanrc.com.
