HAPPY VETERANS DAY: Mounds View High School celebrates heroes PAGE 16

Dan Arcand knew he wanted to be in the military at the age of 3.
BY THE NUMBERS • Veterans are at 57% higher risk of suicide than those who haven’t served. • There were 6,146 veteran suicides in 2020. • Over 125,000 veterans have died by suicide since 2001. • Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in veterans under age 45. • The suicide rate for veterans is more than 50% greater than for non-veteran adults.
Veteran hopes to impact veteran suicide rate BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR
Dan Arcand, of Hugo, is a 20year veteran. As a Marine who was deployed six times, he has been to a lot of funerals. “The reality is that with multiple combat deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan, I’ve lost more friends to suicide than I have to combat,” he said. “My second chapter is trying to make an impact on the veterans suicide rate.” Arcand, 38, says he knew he wanted to be in the military, specifically the Marines, at the age of 3. His father, Scott Arcand, served in the Marines for three years. Several other family
members have also served in the military. He recalled when he was in preschool and his preschool teacher asked him, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and he responded, “A Marine.” “I’m 100% certain a lot of it had to do with seeing pictures of my dad in the uniform, him talking about it,” Arcand said. “I mean there’s something appealing about a challenge, they have a certain type of reputation about them.” Arcand enlisted as an infantryman and actually left high school early to head to boot camp. During his 20-year military career he was deployed six times. Back in 2010, while he
was in between deployments, Arcand launched a nonprofit called American Spartan to help veterans who were wounded in action. That nonprofit ran until 2017. Arcand explained that the nonprofit wasn’t needed anymore, since there were so many other resources out there for wounded veterans. Then in December 2022, Arcand officially launched another nonprofit called Peace for Warriors that aims to help veterans recover from PTSD and moral injury symptoms by providing international outreach SEE PEACE FOR WARRIORS, PAGE 3
Mounds View native serves aboard warship Seaman Jorannie Saryee, a native of Minneapolis, serves aboard a U.S. Navy warship operating out of Norfolk, Virginia. Saryee graduated in 2022 from Mounds View High School. The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Minneapolis. “Growing up in my hometown, I learned to just go with the flow and embrace the unknown,” said Saryee. “Make the best out of the choices you make in life, because it’s all part of the plan. I learned this from my mom and dad.” Saryee joined the Navy one year ago. Today, Saryee serves as a religious program specialist aboard USS Ross. “I joined because of the unknown adventure,” said Saryee. “I needed stability and wanted to join a community that

A group of high school students from Mounds View High School launched a startup business last year that provides affordable biodegradable utensils to the local community. The startup, called EcoEats of Shoreview, was founded by Daniel Sung, Michael Wang, Chad Diao and Suhaib Aden, who are each passionate about environmental issues and want to make a positive impact. “Even something as simple as using a biodegradable fork can help ease the 40 million tons of plastic waste produced yearly in the U.S. alone,” said Sung.

PEACE FOR WARRIORS: Takes different approach to help veterans with PTSD FROM PAGE 1
opportunities. In July 2023, Arcand retired as a gunnery sergeant. Arcand has PTSD himself. He guesses he probably had it as early as 2005, but he didn’t seek treatment for it until his son was born in 2018. “It’s everything from just not being able to sleep, to times where I’ve been walking through a shopping mall and I swear I see a dead friend,” Arcand explained. “You are driving down the road and you’re worried that you are going to hit a bomb.” The idea for Peace for Warriors came from a conversation Arcand had with his girlfriend, Danielle Bare, on their first date. By the age of 27, Bare had volunteered in over 10 countries. Arcand himself went on one noncombat deployment to west Africa.

Signal crayfish confirmed in Minnesota The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has confirmed the presence of signal crayfish, an invasive non-native species, in Lake Winona, adjacent to Alexandria in Douglas County. This is the first confirmation of signal crayfish in Minnesota waters. A commercial harvester contacted the DNR after trapping two signal crayfish in Lake Winona. Since the first catch, the harvester has found eight additional signal crayfish in Lake Winona. The DNR followed up
with trapping in Lake Winona and in two adjacent connected lakes but did not capture additional signal crayfish. At this time, there is no evidence of reproduction; no eggs or juveniles have been found. Signal crayfish are larger and more aggressive than Minnesota crayfish and the invasive rusty crayfish. They eat aquatic plants, detritus, fish eggs, smaller crayfish species and other beneficial native invertebrates. Signal crayfish might outcompete native
species for food and habitat. Signal crayfish can spread between connected waterways or be transported by people. They can also crawl over land at night and during wet weather. Signal crayfish are bluish-brown to reddishbrown in color, with large, smooth claws and a smooth carapace – the protective covering over their head and mid-section. They have a white or pale blue-green patch near their claw hinge, which looks like a signal flag. People who think they might have
observed signal crayfish or other invasive species should note the exact location, take photos, keep the specimen, and submit their observations to https://www.eddmaps. org . For more information about the signal crayfish, visit https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/ invasives/aquaticanimals/signalcrayfish.html .

Vikings: A new hope
just watched one of the most entertaining Minnesota Vikings games I’ve ever seen against the Atlanta Falcons. I didn’t have high hopes for this game. Like many of us fans, I didn’t know what was going to happen. That’s what I love about football. Anything can happen — good or bad. When the Vikes lost Kirk Cousins to a season-ending achilles injury during the Green Bay Packers game, things seemed bleak. Cousins was having an MVP season. The Vikings quarterback Noelle’s has been sacked and hit so many times throughout the years and Notes the time he gets a season ending injury is from non contact. Only in Noelle Olson Minnesota. Rookie quarterback Jalen Hall started the game against the Atlanta Falcons. In the first drive, he got a concussion and was out for the game. In comes Josh Dobbs. I never heard of him until he was traded to the Vikings on Halloween. With only four days to prepare, he had to come in and work his magic. At first, it was a little wonky when he was sacked in the end zone (which was a safety) and he fumbled a couple of times. But he didn’t let that frazzle him. He got a running touchdown and led the Vikings to a game-winning drive with a little over two minutes to play. Dobbs was also the leading rusher for both teams with 66 yards. Skol Nation has something to be proud of with this rejuvenated Vikings team. After starting 0-3, the Minnesota Vikings have won four out of their five last games. With so many starters out with injuries, the team isn’t letting that bring them down. If anything, they are playing as a team and the support they give each other is evident on the field. Also, Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores has turned the defense around and they are looking fantastic! This is a well-coached NFL team. I watched coach Kevin O’Connell’s speech in the locker room after the game and you can see the camaraderie of this Vikings team. They rose above dire circumstances and never gave up. The Vikes next play the New Orleans Saints at home. I can’t wait to see how many fans will be wearing number 15 jerseys. Welcome to Minnesota, Josh Dobbs! God speed Mr. Bremer Dick Bremer has been the voice of the Minnesota Twins for 40 years. It was announced that he will not be back next season and will go into a special assistant role. I met Dick when I was in high school at church. He was my brother’s confirmation teacher and the sportscaster who worked at Spectrum Sports, which covered the Minnesota North Stars and Twins. When he found out I was going to St. Cloud State University to study mass communications, he asked if I wanted to take stats for him in the booth for the St. Cloud Husky hockey games. Of course, I said “yes” and that was the only year that Herb Brooks was the head coach of the team. Dick is one of the nicest people and he has the iconic broadcast voice. I will miss his knowledge of the game and wish him the best. Thanks for the memories. Veterans Day Veterans Day is Saturday, Nov. 11. This day is to honor and remember military veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. For years I would take my uncle Del out to lunch on Veterans Day. He was a Vietnam Vet and passed away last year. This was the only time Del would talk about the war and tell me stories about his time in Vietnam. He is missed. I would like to thank all of the veterans out there for their service and sacrifice … freedom isn’t free. Noelle Olson is the editor of the White Bear Press and Vadnais Heights Press

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Know both sides, then vote
Shoreview Community Foundation adopts a trail
In the letter to the editor on Oct. 4, “Trump is not above the law,” the writer identified themselves as Thomas Kramer of Shoreview. I believe I am the only Thomas Kramer from Shoreview, and I did not write this letter. Press Publications does review letters to the editor and has a process to prevent this from happening. I have talked to them about a few additional steps to make sure this does not happen in the future. With that being said, I want all readers to be careful of their sources of information this next election cycle. Emails and internet and political ads can easily provide false/misleading information. There are two sides to every issue. Once knowing both sides, you can make an intelligent decision. For those who know me, I am an independent, compassionate voter, and try and vote for candidates who are honest and want to do what’s best for the majority of our United States, not what’s best for their pocketbook or their reelection campaign. Please VOTE in 2024. Please vote for the candidates that closely match your priorities. Please don’t vote for a candidate on just one issue and disregard all the other important issues our country is facing. I wish one candidate was perfect and supported all the important issues our country is facing. No candidate is perfect. So you need to take all your priorities into consideration and vote for the candidate that best matches your concerns. Be informed and vote. Your children and grandchildren are the real beneficiaries of your voting. Thomas Kramer Shoreview

Boundary Waters executive director draws crowd
North Oaks resident Chris Knopf, executive director of the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, spoke to an enthusiastic crowd at the Shoreview Public Library on Oct. 25. The audience included state Sen. Heather Gustafson of Vadnais Heights. Knopf explained how his organization was founded in 1976 by ordinary citizens who came together to create the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in 1978. The organization has secured a series of breakthrough legal victories over the past year that have stopped the proposed sulfide mines, but state legislation is required to protect Minnesota’s waters. The group is advocating for the passage of a Prove It First Law in Minnesota that would require sulfide mining companies to first demonstrate that this type of mining has been done safely without polluting elsewhere before doing it in Minnesota. To get involved with Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness, you may contact Knopf directly at chris@friends-bwca.org or 651-999-9565 or go to the website at www.friends-bwca.org.

Since 2010, the city of Shoreview has asked residents their preference between open and organized garbage systems in a community survey. Most residents have opposed moving to an organized system. In 2022, this changed: now, many residents claim they would support the move. An organized garbage system allows the city to enter contracts with selected haulers. An open garbage system allows licensed haulers to serve anywhere in the city, and residents may select their own hauler. Shoreview currently uses an open garbage system. Before moving forward, the city would like to hear more from residents. The survey can be found at https://polco.us/n/res/vote/shoreview-mn/garbagecollection-in-shorevie?.
Nonprofit launches Holiday Cards Connect Program
In a heartwarming initiative aimed at bringing holiday joy to older, lonely and isolated Minnesotans, Friends & Co. has announced its latest program, “Holiday Cards Connect.” The campaign is set to make a profound impact on the lives of those who may be feeling disconnected during the festive season. The Holiday Cards Connect program is designed to foster connections and lift spirits during a time of year that can be particularly challenging for many individuals, especially seniors who may find themselves separated from loved ones. By inviting people from all walks of life to participate, Friends & Co. hopes to create a network of support and care for those who may otherwise spend the holiday season alone. The program encourages participants to craft and send heartfelt holiday cards filled with warm wishes and thoughtful nondenominational messages. To participate in the Holiday Cards Connect program, simply visit https://friendsco.org/holidaycards-connect for details on how to get involved.

Changes in weather that result in shifting winds and storms can also lead to a treacherous situation, so it’s vital for anglers and hunters to keep an eye to the sky. In addition to staying safe on the water, people who are hunting should always follow the four rules of firearms safety: Treat each firearm as if it is loaded; always control the muzzle of your firearm; be sure of your target and what is beyond; and keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you’re ready to shoot.

lated accidents happen during the busy summer, a higher percentage of cold-water incidents are fatal and survival rates drop drastically. “The water this time of year is unforgiving,” said Capt. Adam Block, DNR boating law administrator. “Taking safety precautions is the best way to ensure a day on the water doesn’t turn tragic.” The easiest and most effective way to stay safe and survive a fall into the water is to wear a life jacket (foam is better than inflatable during the cold-water season), not just have one along. People can reduce the likelihood of a fall overboard by distributing weight evenly in the boat and abiding by the manufacturer’s weight limits. Having a means of communication is important, too, as is making sure
Some people in Minnesota have put away their boats for the year, but plenty of others will squeeze out every bit they can of the open-water season, whether they’re chasing game, targeting fish or paddling lakes and rivers. To anyone on or around the water this fall, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources offers this reminder: Your safety is your responsibility. With water temperatures consistently dropping, unexpected falls into the water are more likely to end in tragedy because even strong swimmers can become incapacitated quickly in cold water. Coupled with fewer people on the water to potentially help in an emergency, it’s vital that people take steps to ensure their safety. While more boating-re-

He recalled when he was in preschool and his preschool teacher asked him, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and he responded, “A Marine.” “I’m 100% certain a lot of it had to do with seeing pictures of my dad in the uniform, him talking about it,” Arcand said. “I mean there’s something appealing about a challenge, they have
a certain type of reputation about them.” Arcand enlisted as an infantryman and actually left high school early to head to boot camp. During his 20year military career he was deployed six times. Back in 2010, while he was in between deployments, Arcand launched a nonprofit called American Spartan to help veterans who were wounded in action. That nonprofit ran until 2017.

I was in shock,” she recalled. “At first, they couldn’t tell me what had happened, and then about two weeks later, they finally told me that he had passed from a fentanyl overdose… How does fentanyl get in a prison?” Eventually she was told that

CMS will perform “Princess and the Pea” Nov. 2 through Nov. 4 at the CMS auditorium. “Princess and the Pea” is a literary fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen about a princess who is tested to CONTRIBUTED become a wife to a lonely Katherine Knutson plays the prince.

A popular event is the trunkor-treat. Adults and teens will decorate the trunks of their cars, and members of the public are free to move around the parking lot to each vehicle to gather up candy. It provides a safe, familyfriendly way for children to go trick-or-treating, dress up in their costumes and enjoy Halloween. St. Odilia Church, located on Victoria Street, will be hosting its own trunk-or-treat event. The church has held the event since 2013, when it was created by the Worship and Community Life Council. “The council heard about other
churches having a trunk-or-treat event, and they thought it would be a great and safe community building activity,” said Sarah Hansen, communications support specialist for St. Odilia. Everyone in the community and surrounding communities is welcome. Attendees do not need to decorate a trunk to participate. The church has hosted the event for years, but it really ramped up after the COVID-19 pandemic. “Last year we had almost 500 trick-or-treaters.” Hansen said. After the pandemic, “people were ready to get back together,

John Patrick’s heartwarming comedy, “The Curious Savage,” is coming to Mounds View High School Nov. 9 - 12. The play tells the story of Mrs. Ethel P. Savage. Upon her husband’s death, Mrs. Savage inherits $10 million, then plans to establish a fund to support dreamers with whimsical aspirations. Her stepchildren strongly disagree, so to prevent her from sharing their family’s wealth, they have her committed to a sanitarium. It is there that Mrs. Savage, played by Anja Horsman, finds kindness in the residents of “The Cloisters.” “This play is an engaging experience that presents the true importance of charity and kindness in a world that is often motivated by greed and dishonesty,” says Horsman, a senior at Mounds View High School. “It’s an honor to play the role of such a logical and humorous woman.” The Mounds View High School Theater Company is under the direction of Matthew van Bruggen, who has worked with several theater arts organizations, including the Minnesota Fringe Festival and Hennepin Theatre Trust. Before accepting the role as district performance facilities manager for Mounds View, he was the assistant theater director at Irondale High School.

Shoreview adopts land acknowledgment statement BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER
Earlier this year, the Shoreview Human Rights Commission made updates to its 2023-2024 action plan. These updates were approved by the City Council at the June 5, 2023 meeting. Part of that action plan was creating a land acknowledgment statement. Land acknowledgment statements are formal statements that recognize and respect Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards of the land and the relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories. These statements are typically read at the beginning of a gathering. These statements are becoming more common in
the U.S. over the past 10 years within different organizations. In Minnesota, communities such as Ramsey and Hennepin counties, New Brighton and St. Paul have adopted their own formal land acknowledgment statements. Minnesota, originally Mni Sota Makoce, is home to 11 tribes. This includes four Dakota (Sioux) communities and seven Anishinaabe (Chippewa and Ojibwe) communities. The federal government engaged in treaties in the 1800s with the Dakota and Ojibwe that stripped them of their homelands. Two of those treaties included the land that the city of Shoreview is now built upon. “The Human Rights
Commission has discussed this over several meetings this year,” said Assistant City Manager Renee Eisenbeiz. “They feel it’s important for the city to acknowledge that the land Shoreview was built on was the ancestral, traditional and current homelands of the Dakota, and they also would like to acknowledge the Ojibwe and other nations who called this land home,” she added. The council would be asked to read the statement before every council meeting and city event. “I think having the acknowledgment is important,” said Council Member Cory Springhorn, “but moving beyond that and having more of a commitment
to learning how to recognize, support and collaborate with Indigenous People” is important too. The adopted Shoreview Land Acknowledgement reads as follows: “The identity of any community is forged by the generations who have lived there in the past and present, bringing with them their cultures, beliefs, energy and dreams. Many travel to new places in the hope of a better life, others arrive against their will and some have been there for thousands of years. “The City of Shoreview acknowledges that our community stands on ancestral, traditional and current homelands of the Dakota. We also want to
acknowledge the Ojibwe and other nations of people who called this place home. The U.S. government seized Dakota and Ojibwe land in Minnesota, allowing pioneers to settle in what is now Shoreview. This land was acquired unfairly through land cession treaties. The city acknowledges the history of violence, displacement, migration and forced resettlement of Indigenous peoples. “The city is aware that this land has a complex and layered history, and offers this statement as a step toward healing. Our goal is to better understand the history of the land on which Shoreview is built and the convergence of legacies that bring us to where we are today.”

Shoreview teen awarded Future Educators Scholarship
Shoreview native releases her 3rd children’s book
Shoreview resident Amrita Rajesh, a senior at Mounds View High School, has received the Future Educators Scholarship from the National Society of High School Scholars (NSHSS). The NSHSS recognizes students who have a passion for teaching youth and as aspiration to change the education system. During the first few weeks of teaching kids at her language school, Rajesh noticed an unhealthy obsession her students have over exams. She designed a new, engaging lesson plan that moved her students’ mindsets from worrying about what materials would be on the test to the material itself. This newfound interest in the class material not only created a supportive and safe classroom space, but boosted performances in their exams. “My vision of education in the future is an environment where teachers don’t teach for students to pass their exams. Teaching should be a pleasurable experience for both the teacher and the student — meaning that our education system needs to change. Instilling

students with the hunger for knowledge and the motivation to continue their education will transform our society, and I want to play a role that will enhance the impact of education,” said Rajesh in a press release. More information about NSHSS can be found at nshss.org.

Shoreview native Minda Gomez has released “The Island Rescue,” the third book in the Martinez Kids Adventures series. This installation of the bilingual chapter book series is set in the Galápagos Islands, as well as a Twin Cities suburb. The story highlights the variety of wildlife in the islands as well as teaching character traits such as loyalty and courage. The virtual reality story will capture children’s imaginations and spark conversations for families. Gomez, who is a teacher of multilingual learners, is passionate about teaching kids to be proud of their bilingual superpowers. The author/ illustrator explained that this project is very near and dear to her heart in a press release: “The Martinez family is modeled after my own cross-cultural family. This book is a tribute to the beauty of family, language, courage and working together. Spanish words are scattered throughout the story, offering an opportunity for readers to learn. I want these stories to draw families together with intriguing stories that activate the imagination and inspire
meaningful conversations. It is also a goal that my readers will grow in their appreciation for their own culture and those of their neighbors.”

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS asked her daughter to call 911, the man grabbed the phone from the younger woman when she tried to call. The case has been sent to the city attorney for consideration of charges. • Harassment was reported Sept. 26 in the 100 block of Bridge Street, after a Shoreview man started receiving harassing text messages from his ex-girlfriend’s brother. • A Shoreview woman, 32, was arrested for assaulting deputies Sept. 27 in the 4000 block of Wilshire Circle, after they responded to a report of a domestic assault. As deputies were investigating the situation and not finding any evidence that an assault had even occurred, the subject took matters into her own hands and hit deputies in the face. After it suddenly became clear that an assault had now taken place, deputies took the woman into custody. • Another raccoon was reported Sept. 27 for normal abnormal behavior in the 3400 block of Soo Street, after it sat in the complainant’s back yard hissing at the resident dog. As part of an ongoing issue, raccoons in general have been determined to have distemper to go along with their ordinary bad temper. Deputies advised the complainant to contact a provider on their long list of wildlife removal contractors. • A bank in the 400 block of Highway 96 reported an unidentified person for attempting to withdraw a large amount of money from the bank Sept. 27, without having any knowledge of the account number or identity of the person to whom the account belonged. Bank personnel intervened before any money could be taken out and called 911. The suspect was long gone when deputies arrived, and the investigation remains open. • A resident in the 4000 block of Wilshire Circle reported finding a cell phone that didn’t belong to him propped up against his front door on Sept. 27. Deputies arrived to collect the phone for placement into property. • After responding to a report of suspicious activity Sept. 28 at the intersection of Carlton Drive and Lexington Avenue N., deputies found an empty black bag sitting in the grass and took it to be placed into property. • A resident with a bank account in the 1000 block of Highway 96

The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has a plan to make your hunt easier. Hunters can walk through the steps to get the most out of their hunt while staying safe. The plan provides easy access to essential hunting and chronic wasting disease information. The Make a Plan tool walks you through: • How to purchase the correct license. • Chronic wasting disease
requirements for the area where you hunt. • The regulations for the season and areas where you hunt. • How to process your deer — by yourself or by visiting a processor. • Tips for a safe hunt, including firearms, tree stands and hunting safety. In Minnesota, archery deer season runs from Sept. 16 through Sunday, Dec. 31. Firearms deer season is Saturday, Nov. 4; closing dates depend on a hunter’s deer permit area. Muzzleloader is Saturday, Nov. 25, through Sunday, Dec. 10. More information about the plan can be found at www.dnr.state.mn.us/ hunting/deer/make-your-deerhunting-plan.html.
on Sept. 28 reported that a man had attempted to wire himself a large amount of money from her account. Fortunately for the complainant, the wire transfer did not go though. There have been no arrests, and the case has been assigned to a Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) investigator. • A jet ski operator, 43, on Owasso Lake on North Owasso Blvd. on Oct. 1 received a lengthy visit and crash course from deputies on patrol in the Water Patrol Unit on the importance of safety while on the water. Deputies had observed him “dangerously drive the machine at a high rate of speed between a boat and the shoreline.” • A 17-year-old daughter in the 1600 block of Park Street was not arrested for domestic assault Oct. 1, following an argument about the daughter not wanting to come home that became physical, as part of an ongoing issue. In this most recent episode, the daughter reiterated her desire to not come home by striking her mother and leaving. Deputies were able to locate the daughter and mediate the situation. • A male, 53, was banned Oct. 2 from a car wash in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue after he showed up at the business and tried to get a free car wash. When he was told he would not receive a free wash, he became angry, vulgar and verbally abusive toward personnel. The employees knew him well, as he was previously fired from the business. • A resident in the 1600 block of Terrace Drive reported two fraudulent withdrawals from her banking accounts Oct. 2. The case has been assigned to an investigator. • Deputies on patrol observed three teenaged males drinking heavily Oct. 2 in a park on Lexington Avenue N. Their parents were summoned, and a long chat with deputies ensued. • Loss prevention personnel at the Target Store on Lexington Avenue proved valuable Oct. 4 in preventing loss having nothing to do with shoplifting, after they spotted two metal caps missing from water valves connected to the exterior of the building. • Assault was reported Oct. 4 at Lionsgate Academy in the 500 block of Cardigan Road; one student was transported to Unity Hospital for treatment. The case is under
investigation. • A resident in the 5500 block of Donegal Drive on Oct. 4 reported that someone had opened an AT&T account using her name. After the police report was filed, the complainant was advised to connect with the company’s fraud department. • Criminal damage to a 2016 Chevrolet Equinox was reported after its owner had parked it at a business lot in the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway and found it rummaged through overnight Oct. 4-5. A large concrete block had been thrown through the rear passenger-side window for access, but nothing appeared to have been stolen. • The owner of a property in the 4000 block of Mackubin Street on Oct. 5 reported that an AT&T phone that he didn’t order was shipped to the property. The phone was registered in his mother’s name, but she didn’t order it either. After the police report was filed, deputies advised the complainant to get in touch with the company’s fraud department. • A resident in the 3400 block of Vivian Avenue reported he had several firearms available for destruction Oct. 6. Deputies transported the guns to the RCSO property room, where they’ll be held awaiting destruction. • A construction company employee reported a walk-behind compactor stolen from the intersection of Red Fox Road and Lexington Avenue N. Oct. 6. • A male, 71, reported that the bicycle he rode to the gas station in the 400 block of Highway 96 was stolen Oct. 6 after he had parked it near the building and went inside. • An increase in traffic was reported at 12:28 a.m. Oct. 7 near the intersection of St. Albans Circle and Oakwood Drive. In addition, a group of teens was reported for trying to make contact with a child who lives in the area. • An Illinois man reported that AT&T had mailed a cell phone to a property he owns in the 4400 block of Chatsworth Street on Oct. 7, even though he had never ordered a phone. After the police report was filed, deputies advised the complainant to notify the company’s fraud department. Loretta Harding

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following selected incidents in Shoreview: • A resident in the 5200 block of Hodgson Road reported a squirrel for falling down the chimney at 6:01 p.m. Sept. 24. Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office (RCSO) deputies referred the complainant to several pest removal services. • The Shoreview Target in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue N. reported four people for shoplifting Sept. 24. Deputies made contact with all four suspects, collected the stolen merchandise and issued trespass orders to three of the four thieves. The fourth shoplifter departed in a vehicle. • A theft from auto incident was reported Sept. 24 in the 1000 block of Gramsie Road. • A Shoreview juvenile, 14, was arrested at 9:40 a.m. Sept. 25 in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue for assaulting his mother, after deputies responded to a report of a domestic assault. A mother and her son got into an argument that turned physical. The youth was transported to the Ramsey County Juvenile Detention Center. • A sick raccoon was reported for falling out of a tree on Highway 96 at 3:17 p.m. Sept. 25. The complainant was particularly worried that it was just sitting where it landed, after falling out of the tree. Deputies advised the complainant to simply let it alone to clear the cobwebs out of its head because it was not presenting any kind of threat at the time. • A vehicle reported stolen Sept. 25 from the 1600 block of Park Street turned out to have been merely borrowed by the complainant’s daughter, who forgot to let her mother know about it. After her daughter returned from the grocery store with the vehicle, the complainant phoned deputies, who removed the vehicle from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. • A Shoreview man, 37, was arrested Sept. 26 in the 5500 block of Fairview Avenue N. for domestic assault, after deputies investigated a 911 hang-up call about a domestic-in-progress. They had to issue a Keep Our Kops Safe (KOPS) alert because the suspect had left the scene. The events started when a man and woman got into an argument that degenerated into a physical altercation.

Consolation titles at state tennis for Mustangs, Wahlstrand TENNIS BRIEFS
BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
In Mounds View’s 23rd appearance in the state tennis tournament, the Mustangs captured the consolation championship, as did their top player, Rory Wahlstrand, in the singles tournament on Oct. 24-27. The Mustangs finished 22-6 and officially placed fifth. They lost to Edina 5-2 in the quarterfinals, snapping their 18-match winning streak, then regrouped to beat East Ridge 7-0 and Elk River 5-2 in the consolation rounds, all at the University of Minnesota. Edina lost to Rochester Mayo 5-2 in the championship match. Wahlstrand lost in the first round to runnerup, Cassandra Li of Eagan, 6-0, 6-2. Wahlstrand won games against Edina’s Astrid Kerman 6-3, 6-1; Forest Lake’s Lucy Saari 3-6, 6-1, 10-7; and Roseville Area’s Marit Haugen 6-3, 6-1. Wahlstrand, who finished 24-10, qualified for state as section runner-up — and reversed her section finals loss to Haugen. Mounds View also had two doubles entrants. Isabella Myrland and Annabelle Huang beat an East Ridge team 6-1, 6-4 and lost to a Maple Grove team 6-4, 6-4. Avery Schifsky and Shae Cockarell lost to a Rochester Mayo’s team 6-0, 6-1 and a Minnetonka team 6-4, 6-0.

Mustangs done after harrowing 17-15 loss to Prior Lake BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mounds View’s football ended their season with a 17-15 loss to Prior Lake in the first round of state playoffs at home on Oct. 27 as the Lakers rallied twice in the second half. The Mustangs finished 4-5 with five one-score games in which they were 2-3. The Mustangs led 6-3 at halftime on field goals by Ben Hoiland from 42 yards and 21 yards. In the third quarter, Hoiland’s 49-yard attempt was a bit short and to the left. They got a safety for an 8-3 lead on a snap over the Prior Lake punter’s head, after a 49-yard
punt by Jake Sampson and a sack by Evan Hatton backed the Lakers to the goal line. Prior Lake took an 11-8 lead when Hunter Macgillivray dashed 68 yards for a touchdown and Levi Elter ran for a two-pointer. Mounds View pushed back ahead 15-11 with an 83-yard drive as Sampson passed to Tyler Nystrom for 13 yards, Peter Nguyen for 16, Logan Johnson for 11 and Nguyen for seven, then capped it with a two-yard run. Again the Lakers responded, with a 15-yard touchdown by Elter on a screen pass with 2:41 left. The Mustangs blocked the kick and trailed 17-15.
The Mustangs were stopped on downs on their own 29-yard line. They got the ball back with a stop at the 24-yard line with a minute remaining and, with no time-outs left, moved across midfield but were stopped at the 30-yard line just as time ran out. Sampson completed 13 of 23 for 158 yards and netted 48 yards on 13 runs. Nystrom caught four passes for 56 yards, Nguyen four for 44 and Johnson three for 42. Prior Lake’s Macgillivray rolled up 142 yards in 17 rushes, and Elter had 57 yards in 13 carries.

Athlete of the Week
Emily Mehta
Cross Country Emily Mehta and her mother arrived in Mounds View from Thailand during her sophomore year, just before cross country sectionals. Mehta has helped the Mustangs place third and fourth at state in the last two years. “We are so lucky that they chose our school to attend,” said coach Jimmy McArthur. “She’s been a great runner for us, and an absolute joy to coach.” Now a senior, Mehta has earned all-state status on Saturday, Nov. 4 by placing 15th in 18:43 at the state meet. She placed third in both the conference (18:00) and section (18:32) as the Mustangs won team titles in each. This summer, she was part of the Mustangs’ champion four-by-one-mile relay at a national meet.
