Former Shoreview resident has the soul of an artist, voice of an angel

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Ever since she was a little girl, Maria Fernanda Diez’s dream was to be in the arts and entertainment industry.

“I grew up falling in love with the arts through music, and that’s something I still carry today,” Diez said.

The 29-year-old former Shoreview resident was recently chosen for iHeart Radio’s NextUp, a new initiative empowering upand-coming creators.

“NextUp gives underrepresented, diverse creators the opportunity to learn all about the world of podcasting from one of the largest global podcasting networks,” Diez said.

Diez describes her podcast, “When You’re Invisible,” as a love letter to the working class and people who are considered different or have largely been excluded in society.

“The podcast spotlights the different experiences of these invisible people — many of whom

School district aims for virtual tours in all schools

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

The Mounds View School District has part nered with a virtual tour production company to create interactive, 360-degree photo tours of Irondale and Mounds View high schools.

“Now that our schools have completed con struction and we have some wonderful spaces to showcase for student learning, we part nered with a virtual tour production company to create interactive 360- degree tours of the high schools,” said Colin Sokolowski, execu tive director of public relations.

Part of the virtual tour is drone footage that Kraus-Anderson captured after the renova tions were complete.

“The really cool thing about these tours is that when the team comes in to photograph it, they use a 360-degree camera to capture it, and you can go all the way up to the sky and all the way down to the ground,” said Megan McKeen, assistant director of public relations. “You truly get a realistic view of what our schools look like.”

Sokolowski and McKeen worked with staff and principals at Irondale and Mounds View high schools to showcase 10 to 15 spots throughout each school.

“In the corner of each of the spaces, there's a little information button where you can read more about the space so a visitor or prospec tive student or parent can see what our spaces are used for,” McKeen said. “There are also photo galleries, or what we call 'hot spots,' in the school that are interesting fun that we think visitors would like to see.”

Sokolowski said the virtual tours are going to be promoted by both high schools in wel come communications and presentations to incoming families and incoming freshmen. He noted that the virtual tours are mobile and desktop-friendly.

“They are not intended to be a replacement for in-person tours; both high schools place a premium on welcoming prospective families visitors into the building to see the spaces SEE VIRTUAL TOURS, PAGE 13

Former Shoreview resident Maria Fernanda Diez was born to Mexican immigrant parents. She has always been interested in art and entertainment in society. She grew up singing in the Minnesota Opera Children’s Chorus and studied theater at Columbia University. Diez was selected as one of eight up-and-coming new podcasts creators to join iHeart Radio’s NextUp –a new initiative empowering up-and-coming creators. She’s wants to tell the stories of those that are “invisible” – stories from nannies, cleaners, tutors on things they’ve experienced versus the lives their employers live.

Diez said she draws from her experience as a first-generation American born to Mexican immigrants, who went from living off

Howitz, who was my cameraman,” she said. “I spent my teenage years in Shoreview which was really cool; I feel really lucky to have experienced that. We had so much fun playing night games in the neighborhood and having bonfires after soccer games. These are some of my favorite memories of living in Shoreview.”

Diez started acting and singing at a young age.

“I grew up singing in the Minnesota Opera from age 10 to 18 and was in the youth program and Children’s Chorus,” she said. “I also worked with Children’s Theatre Company.”

She attended Mounds View High School but then transferred to the St. Paul Conservatory for Performing Artists. After graduating from high school, Diez went to Columbia University to study theater.

food stamps to rising to the middle class and achieving the “American dream.”

“It’s definitely inspired by watching my parents live the American dream by coming here with less than a year’s worth of money and watching them achieve a comfortable home,” she said. “Our first house in Shoreview was so cool.”

Born in Ithaca, New York, Diez moved to Minnesota when she was 7 years old because her dad got a job as a professor at the University of Minnesota. Her parents, Francisco and Claudia, bought their first home in Shoreview when Diez was in middle school.

She recalled doing the morning announcements at Chippewa Middle School.

“Doing those announcements was so much fun with my best friend Will

“Thanks to the thriving art scene in the Twin Cities, I was able to get into singing and acting,” Diez said. “It started a snowball effect of growing into becoming an artist, podcaster and creator. There’s an awesome thing about having a live audience

that I truly adore. There’s the element of working with a camera, where it’s so intimate, and there’s a lot of space to breathe and live as a person.”

Diez co-produced and starred in the short film, “Divr,” which came out this summer.

“It’s been doing really well,” Diez said. “We’ve been in over 20 festivals across the globe and we’ve won various awards for the short, and I won an award for my performance in the Los Angeles Short Film Festival. We’re hoping to take it to the bigger festivals like Sundance and South by Southwest.”

She said she hopes it will be featured in next summer’s Catalyst Content Festival in Duluth.

“The director of that short film is Zoey Martinson, and she is awesome,” Diez said. “She’s worked for HBO,

ABC and Disney. She’s got some really big chops and (it) was an honor to work with her, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.”

Diez lives in Brooklyn, New York, and is busy directing music videos and doing fashion campaigns for smaller upcoming brands in New York.

“I’ve been very fortunate along the way and wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my parents’ support,” Diez said.

“The gift of art is the ability to give people space to heal something in their lives.”

Crazy vehicle problems

Let me tell you a tale about a broken down car and a truck with a vengeance.

I was driving home from a Water Gremlin meeting I was covering at Century College when my car started running funny. I live about 40 miles north of St.Paul and a mile before I got home, my clutch pedal was sticking to the floor. I have a gas efficient manual Nissan and I am thankful that it broke down as soon as I parked at my home. After doing some research on repair costs, I realized it was going to be an expensive fix and began driving my gas guzzler truck

T his worked for a while as I was saving money to fix my Nissan. When I got to work one day, I was getting out of my truck and scratched my leg against the side and cut my leg. I forgot to grab my purse and locked my keys in the truck. Great. So I had to call someone to break into my car. It took him a long time to break in with his long wire but finally got the door open. But then, the door wouldn’t shut. I told him to look on YouTube to figure it out. And guess what, he did. He also gave me a discount because he was late.

About a week later, I was leaving my house one Monday morning and I put my key in the ignition and it wouldn’t turn over. I couldn’t believe it. I now had two broken vehicles.

I live with my 24-year-old daughter Kaitlin and since I had no car/truck working, she offered me her car to drive to work when I needed to be in the office. She works early hours and I had to drive her to work and pick her up when she was done. It was funny because it brought back memories of when I drove her to school when she was young. I’d say, “Have a good day,” and she would just look at me and say, “You too, mom.”

So I had to get my truck towed from my house for a small but expensive fix. However, it was nice that it only took two days.

A fter that, I decided to sell my truck to help pay for my Nissan car problem. However, My Nissan took one month to get fixed. The tow company didn’t charge me since they were a day late in picking it up and the auto shop was only four miles from my house. I found out that a lot of people’s cars were breaking down at the same time mine was.

A man at the auto shop called me and told me I needed a clutch kit and a flywheel. He told me he was having a hard time finding a flywheel and said a new one would cost around $700. After a little research, I found a website that had flywheels for sale and called the guy and told him about it. He said he found one for $200. When the car was finally fixed, the amount was $300 more than what I was told when I gave the OK to fix the car. At this point, I just wanted my car back. When I went to pick up the car, I asked the man at the auto shop if I could get a discount since it took a month to fix. He just handed me the bill and didn’t respond. Well, at least I tried.

I appreciate my daughter for letting me use her car during these months. She never complained about it but was happy when I finally got my car back. She’s a trooper and that’s what families do — help each other in times of need.

IHAVE BEEN told that men who live long enough will get prostate cancer. The experts have even charted it. At the age of 50 you will have a 50% chance, at 60 years old a 60 % chance, at 70 years old a 70% chance, and so on.

I n 2004 at the age of 68, my PSA was climbing. The family doctor wasn’t concerned. After conversations with a good friend Stan Bakke of White Bear Lake, he advised me to check into Mayo Clinic.

Big C reoccurs

under 1. T he following September my PSA went from 1 to 6 in four months. The rule of thumb is if it doubles in a year you need to give it serious attention. In October I had a Choline PET scan and an MRI at Mayo. It was clear the cancer had come alive in the lymph nodes in my lower abdomen. After consulting with Dr. Choo in oncology and Dr. Kwon, an immunologist at Mayo, it was recommended I start a series of 25 radiation treatments and this time begin taking an Xtandi capsule for a period of time until the PSA drops to an acceptable level.

experiences.

So that’s why this column is a reminder to men that you don’t have to die from prostate cancer if you take care of it early.

Over the last 20 years there have been a lot of advances in treatments and especially in robotic surgery that was just being tested when I had my prostatectomy. New drugs have also become available.

I want to be an encourager and recommend that men tackle the issue immediately when they know about it. Some hospitals in the world today treat it by freezing and some by radiation only.

About the Town Gene Johnson

We did that and on Dec. 28, 2004 I had a radical prostatectomy at Saint Mary’s Hospital in Rochester. Dr. Segura, the surgeon, told me after the surgery some cancer cells had escaped and they may manifest themselves in the future.

F ive years later, the PSA started to climb and I had radiation treatments at Minnesota Oncology in Maplewood. The PSA dropped dramatically. I was good for another five years when it started to climb again. The Mayo team recommended that I get a Lupron injection every 4-6 months and again the PSA went down to

Water main extension project to move forward

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

The Shoreview City Council is ordering improvements for a water main extension on Lakeview Drive.

According to City Engineer Tom Wesolowski, the city received a request from five property owners about the possibility of extending the city water main to their properties. Staff met with the property owners in August to answer questions and provide information on typical construction associated with water main installation, acquisition of easements, the city's assessment policy, estimated assessments, and the feasibility and public hearing process.

“We received a positive reaction from the property owners,” Wesolowski said at the Nov. 21 City Council meeting. “They were excited about the prospect of having the potential of water main being extended for their properties.”

The feasibility report includes the existing conditions, proposed improvements, estimated costs, funding source and project schedule.

Proposed improvements include:

• Water main would be installed from the existing stub on Lakeview Drive.

• The city right of way is not located where the water main

would be installed.

• Easements would need to be provided to the city at no cost.

• Curb stops and one-inch service lines would be installed to the easement line.

• Gate valves and hydrant would be installed as required.

• Installation would impact gravel driveways and trees within the easement areas.

• The water main would be bored to reduce surface impacts.

• Impacted areas would be restored.

The cost for the water main extension is estimated at $91,875 and would be funded through a combination of the water fund and special assessments.

“The proposed funding would consist of $34,000 in assessments charged to the property owners with the remaining almost $58,000 coming from the city's water fund,” Wesolowski said.

“The proposed assessment is about $6,800 per property, and that's typical to what's been charged to residents with previous water extension projects with some increase due to inflation.”

Wesolowski noted that an additional trunk facility charge of $7.75, multiplied by front footage, will be added to assessments that are required for new connections. Also, the assessment length for the project is 15 years.

The city's capital improvement plan includes funding in 2023

for miscellaneous water main improvements in different locations in the city. The water main extension will be included in the 2023 water main improvement projects and completed in the summer of 2023.

Proposed project schedule:

• City Council approves plans and specifications — March 2023

• Bid opening — April 2023 Award construction contract — May 2023

• Start construction — June 2023

• End of construction — August 2023

• Assessment hearing — October 2024

Bobbi Masoud spoke during the public hearing and said she is excited about the water main extension.

“I've been living in Shoreview for 26 years and have been using well water for 26 years,” she said. “I'd like to thank Tom especially and Mark (Maloney, public works director) for hearing our concerns and working with us throughout this process.”

The next Shoreview City Council meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 19, in council chambers at City Hall, 4600 Victoria St. N., in Shoreview.

The driver showed all the classic signs of intoxication, and there was an open bottle of alcohol inside the vehicle. Deputies conducted a number of standard field sobriety tests as well as a breath test more than an hour later at jail that registered a blood alcohol

REAL ID deadline pushed back again: Here’s what to know

BY RANDY PAULSON STAFF WRITER

Minnesotans who aren’t yet Real ID ready have an extra 24 months before enforcement starts.

A standard driver’s license won’t be enough for adults in Minnesota who need to board domestic flights or enter some federal buildings starting May 7, 2025.

That’s when the newly updated nationwide enforcement date will be for the REAL ID Act of 2005. The law established minimum security standards for state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards when used as a form of ID for the following purposes:

• Accessing certain federal facilities.

• Boarding federally regulated commercial aircraft.

• Entering nuclear power plants. To do those activities, Minnesotans will need to do one of the following: get a REAL ID driver’s license or identification card; get an enhanced driver’s license or identification card; or use another form of federally approved identification.

A REAL ID driver’s license has a gold star in its top-right corner, while an enhanced ID has the words “Enhanced driver’s license” printed in red lettering in the top-right corner.

An enhanced ID also has a U.S. flag next to the license holder’s photo.

An enhanced driver’s license or ID card has the same features as its REAL ID counterpart, though it also allows for re-entry to the United States at its land borders or seaports when returning from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda or the Caribbean.

Examples of other federally ap proved ID include the following documents:

• U.S. passport or passport card.

• Foreign government-issued pass port.

• U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Employment Authorization Card (I-766).

• Permanent resident card.

• Border crossing card.

• Federally recognized tribal-issued photo ID.

• U.S. Department of Defense ID, including IDs issued to dependents.

Minnesota began offering the REAL

BY THE NUMBERS

Since Oct. 1, 2018, Minnesota

Driver and Vehicle Services has issued the following number of ID types:

• 3,819,103 standard driver’s licenses/IDs.

• 1,027,150 REAL IDs.

• 574,697 enhanced IDs.

ID and enhanced ID driver’s licenses on Oct. 1, 2018. The nationwide REAL ID enforcement deadline has been pushed back multiple times since the law was first passed. The coronavirus pandemic caused the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to change the deadline from Oct. 1, 2020, to Oct. 1, 2021. The ongoing pandemic again delayed the enforcement date to May 7, 2025, according to a Department of Homeland Security news release pub lished Dec. 5. The previous deadline was May 2023.

“Many driver’s licensing agencies, including Minnesota offices, operated at limited capacity in 2021. During that time, DVS launched the online preverification tool at drive.mn.gov to assist customers and make office visits more efficient,” said Beckey Mechtel, public information officer for the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

Miken Binman, the license bureau supervisor for the city of White Bear Lake, said it’s important for people to know that the aforementioned types of federal ID can also be used instead of the REAL ID or enhanced ID driv er’s licenses.

“It ultimately comes down to per sonal preference,” Binman said. “Some people want their standard driver’s license, and they’ll use a passport book or card. Other people will apply for that REAL ID; others will apply for the enhanced driver’s license or ID.”

Mechtel said her department en courages Minnesotans to use online tools to help decide which type of ID is right for them. One tool is simply called “Help Me Choose.”

Like Mechtel, Binman advised

DOCUMENTS NEEDED

To apply for a REAL ID driver’s license, the following documents are needed:

• One document proving identity, date of birth and legal presence in the United States. 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. If an applicant hasn’t updated their name change with the Social Security Administration, they must do so before applying for a Real ID.

• Two different documents proving current residency in Minnesota. These must have the applicant’s name as used at print and current address in the state. A P.O. Box will not suffice. For applicants younger than 18, one proof of residency document may be provided by a parent or guardian if it has the same address as the document provided. The parent or guardian must also be present in the office

those wishing to apply for or renew a driver’s license or ID card to preapply on the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services website.

Doing so lets applicants input their information and answer the required questions before they schedule an in-person visit to a license center. They also can upload clear, high-qual ity images of documents proving their identity and proof of residen cy, though they must still bring the original, physical copies to the license center.

“Preapproval allows you to receive your license in seven to 14 business days versus the four to six weeks that everyone just walking up would have. So scanning your documents and receiving preapproval speeds up the process significantly,” Binman said.

She shared a few common mistakes she and her office staff have seen license applicants make when getting REAL IDs.

starting at 11 a.m. Feb. 13 and going until 1 p.m. Feb. 15, 2023. The bidding will start at $7.5 mil lion. The auction is an opportunity for a local or regional owner to buy a shopping center that in cludes nationally known tenants such as Barnes & Noble, H&M and Shoe Dept.

to confirm the applicant lives with them at the given address.

To apply for an enhanced ID driver’s license, documentation for the following is needed:

• Proof of date of birth.

• Proof of full legal name. This must be a document separate from a document showing proof of photographic identity.

• Proof of Social Security number.

• Proof of photographic identity. This must be a document separate from a document showing proof of full legal name.

• Proof of U.S. citizenship.

• Proof of Minnesota residency. These must be two separate types of documents that have the applicant’s existing name and address.

A full list of acceptable types of documentation to apply for REAL ID and enhanced ID can be found on the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services website: drive.mn.gov.

For instance, applicants must pro vide two types of documents showing proof of residency. There are several acceptable types of documents for that requirement; however, a financial document can only count as one of the two types.

“An applicant might bring a cred it card statement and a debit card statement, but we can only accept one. That’s important. You could do a utility bill and a bank statement, that would be sufficient. We just can’t take two financials, and it happens pretty frequently,” Binman said.

Also, if an applicant uses an insur ance document, it must be the policy or declarations page; it cannot be the billing or auto-renewal page. Docu ments proving an applicant’s identity and Social Security number must also be updated to account for any legal name changes that person might have had.

Insulin safety net program is pathway to accessibility and affordability

A recent study found that more than 1.3 million Americans with diabetes rationed their insulin because of cost concerns by skipping doses, taking less insulin than needed or delaying buying insulin to save money. The Minnesota Insulin Safety Net Program provides fast, reliable help for those who need insulin and may be struggling to afford this lifesaving drug.

The Minnesota Insulin Safety Net Program has two key components, depending on individual needs:

• For those in immediate need of assistance — less than a seven-day supply of insulin — the urgent need program enables eligible Minnesotans to receive a 30-day supply of insulin right away at a pharmacy and pay no more than a $35 co-pay, one time per year.

• For longer-term help covering the costs of insulin, the continuing need program supports eligible Minnesotans to receive up to a year supply of insulin for no more than $50 per 90-day refill.

In 2021, over 1,100 Minnesotans received dis counts on their insulin through the program, but many more are likely eligible for assistance. The program is implemented by MNsure, the state’s health insurance marketplace, and the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy.

For more information about Minnesota’s Insulin Safety Net Program, go to mninsulin.org.

early cold

means some lakes and ponds across Minnesota are begin ning to freeze. However, this ice isn’t safe to walk on, and the water under neath is dangerously cold.

The Minnesota Department of Natu ral Resources (DNR) reminds everyone to be extremely cautious around the water and, with children at home, to talk with them about the risks of cold water and ice.

While ice is never 100% safe, ice in the early stages of formation is particularly dangerous. Falls through the ice or into open water at this time of year can turn tragic quickly, and each year result in serious injuries or deaths.

Parents and guardians need to be especially vigilant about watching kids and ensuring children’s innate curios ity about the water and ice doesn’t put them at risk.

“Kids, and people who haven’t expe rienced winter in Minnesota, may not have enough knowledge to mitigate the risks associated with cold water and early ice,” said Col. Rodmen Smith, DNR Enforcement Division director. “Talk to your kids, talk to your neigh bors—we all have a role to play in keeping people safe as the winter season gets underway.”

Anyone who recreates on the ice should wait until there’s at least 4 inches of new, clear ice before walk ing out onto it. Other tips for staying safe around cold water and on the ice include:

• Wearing a foam life jacket or flotation suit.

Not going out alone—and letting someone know about trip plans and expected return time.

• Carrying ice picks, rope, an ice chisel and tape measure.

• Checking ice thickness at regular intervals; conditions can change quickly.

• Bringing a cell phone or personal locator beacon.

• Inquiring about conditions and known hazards with local experts before heading out.

For more information about staying safe on the ice, including thickness recommendations for various types of activities, see mndnr.gov/icesafety. For more information about surviving a fall into cold water, see mndnr.gov/coldwa ter.

“I think these are really useful tools to kind of show our community and prospec tive community members what we're all about,” McKeen said.

According to McKeen, they are working on virtual tours for the rest of the schools in the district because the feedback from the high school tours has been positive.

“Those are in the works, and we hope to have them up and running in the next cou ple of months and we're excited to unveil them,” McKeen said.

THC seltzer water, Minnesota made from soil to sip

SHOREVIEW – A new beverage made right here in Minnesota is set to create a lot of buzz: clr!ty, a hemp-derived THC seltzer water. Sourced, pro cessed, and bottled in-state, clr!ty is a product of Minnesota nicety from hemp seed to first sip.

With a fast-acting formulation of 5mg or 10mg of hemp-derived THC, partakers typically feel cre ative, relaxed, or sociable effects. Clr!ty can pro vide stress relief without the downsides of alcohol, including those nasty hangovers.

The approachable potency is perfect for anyone looking to dabble in THC drinks knowing it is a controlled and gradual dosage. So, whether you’re searching for relief and relaxation or creativity and amusement, clr!ty will help you “lose your worries, not your wits.”

“Minnesota is experiencing a cannabis revolu tion. The legalization of hemp-derived THC makes it possible for consumers to enjoy the multiple benefits THC offers. And, it allows small businesses like ours to expand our product line, leading to new

and different opportuni ties,” clr!ty founder Scott O’Malley said.

O’Malley, of Shore view, started making CBD products including brownies, cookies, pow ders, and teas in 2020, while also working to formulate beverages for the future

“We took our know-how and relationships with growers and processors to bring Minnesota-made beverages to the market once the omnibus health bill passed this spring,” he said.

The hemp-derived THC in clr!ty is processed from hemp plants grown by select Minnesota farmers in

Dakota, Nicollet, and Martin counties. The crude oil is extracted from the hemp to isolate usable cannabinoids, processed to distillate, and processed again to nano-emulsion. The nano-emulsion pro cess takes more time and expense but results in a better taste.

Unlike other THC beverages, clr!ty has zero carbs, zero sugar, and zero calories. It comes in four delicious, all-natural flavors including Mango, Blue Razzberry, and Black Cherry, all of which have 5mg of hemp-derived THC. The fourth flavor, Pink Lemonade, has 10mg.

In September 2022, clr!ty gained Minnesota statewide distribution. It is available in over 400 on and off-premise locations across the state.
