Former state representative receives Citizen of the Year award

BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

For nearly 25 years, Paul Gardner has been giving back to the community he loves, and he is now the 2021 Shoreview Citizen of the Year.

Gardner has a passion for environmental stewardship and helping protect the planet. He served on the city’s Environmental Quality Committee and was instrumental in implementing recycling at the Slice of Shoreview in 2001 and instituting a rain barrel sale for Shoreview residents.

“Metaphorically, I like to get my hands dirty recycling at the Slice of Shoreview every year,” he said. “Occasionally there’s a

bag of garbage that gets thrown in the recycling, where I need to fish it out with my little grabber, and once in while I’ll have to jump in there if something is really wrong,” he said.

According to Gardner, having a rain barrel provides many benefits for the environment — and your pocketbook. Capturing rainwater helps to reduce the amount of stormwater that flows into local waterways. You can use it later for thirsty lawns and gardens.

Gardner’s interest in environmental issues started when he was in middle school in northern Virginia near Washington, D.C. “We lived near Great Falls Park, and I started volunteering.

I spent a lot of time outdoors in the woods, and that spurred my interest,” Gardner said. “I discovered that my skill was not being an activist — like an environmental lawyer – but wanting to solve a problem.”

Gardner received his Bachelor of Arts in history from Grinnell College in Iowa and his Master of Public Affairs from the University of Minnesota. He also served as the executive director of the nonprofit Recycling Association of Minnesota (RAM) to promote recycling.

From 2007 to 2010 he served in the House of Representatives in District 53A, representing parts of Shoreview, North Oaks, Lino SEE PAUL GARDNER PAGE 5

Santa is joining the Lake Johanna Fire Department again this holiday season for a Shoreview neighborhood tour 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 9. Santa’s elves from Shoreview Parks & Recreation will be collecting food shelf donations for the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf and new toys for Toys for Tots. New this year are donation spots located throughout the city.

See the donation drop-off locations in the What’s Happening section of the paper on page 7.

The theft of catalytic converters from parked vehicles has skyrocketed in the Twin Cities region, but a new pilot program from the Minnesota Automotive Dealers Association (MADA) aims to put a stop to these unchecked crimes.

The MADA received a Minnesota Automobile Theft Prevention Grant from the state of Minnesota. The MADA was able to purchase 10,000 CatEtch labels with this funding. These labels, which are inscribed with the vehicle’s VIN, can be adhered to the underside of the catalytic converter, and are available to anyone who wants to protect their vehicle from theft.

White Bear Mitsubishi, Buerkle Honda and Maplewood Toyota are three of nine Twin Cities dealerships that have received these labels.

Catalytic converters, located on the underside of a vehicle, are designed to reduce the harmful air emissions produced by a combustion engine. Their construction includes small quantities of several precious metals such as platinum, palladium, rhodium and others. Criminals have learned that crawling under a car and removing the converter can earn them as much as $200 in the value of the metals with almost no repercussions.

Catalytic converters are often manufactured three years in advance of the release of a new vehicle. This means that identifiable converters may not be a standardized solution for a few years yet.

Grandma’s Bakery owner hangs up apron

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

Blood, sweat, tears and a lot of cake mix have gone into John Lupo’s baking business over the last 44 years. As the Grandma’s Bakery owner nears his 68th birthday, he’s retiring his flour-dusted apron and calling it quits.

But not to worry, faithful bakery patrons. New owners don’t plan to change a thing, according to Lupo.

Unless you count improvements such as the purchase of a fancy cookie-making machine as change.

Lupo won’t miss the 80-hour work weeks, post-COVID worries about supply chain shortages, vaccine mandates, staffing issues and other headaches that go with aroundthe-clock bakery production. A weekend off after the business deal closed last month was the first time since he was 24, Lupo said, that he had no responsibilities.

“I did projects around the house.

It felt good to do what normal people do on a weekend,” quipped the longtime baker. “People take normal for granted.”

The new owners are Eric and Olga Shogren, who, Lupo assured, excel at running community bakeries. “When they shared their vision, I thought, ‘These guys get it. They will succeed,’” he said. The couple also own Woullet Bakery, Hans Bakery in Anoka and A Baker’s Wife in Minneapolis.

And that makes him happy. “I’ve invested so much of my life in Grandma’s, I don’t want this place to close. Bakeries play an important role on Main Street,” Lupo said. “We are an important part of the fabric of the communities we serve.”

The lock, stock and barrel busi-

ness deal includes both Grandma’s locations: the retail shop in downtown White Bear Lake and the production/retail facility on Buerkle Road that employs 125 people who produce 500 dozen cookies, 75 cakes, 2,000 pounds of bread and 8,000 doughnuts a day.

Over coffee at the Fourth Street bakery, Lupo said his greatest achievement was surviving COVID. “The pandemic was horrible,” he stated. “I have worked harder than ever the last couple years to keep the business going. Wholesale basically dried up during COVID, so we relied on the retail side.”

Pre-COVID, drivers delivered fresh bakery goods nightly to about 200 major customers around the Twin Cities that included Delta Airlines, the University of Minnesota, hospitals, athletic venues like U.S. Bank Stadium and TCF Field, and major corporations. “That business was just gone,” Lupo reiterated. “It’s coming back, but it’s not what it used to be.”

Over-the-counter sales are better than ever, however, Lupo said. And he wants to thank the generous people in the area who are supporting downtown businesses.

Wife Deb is “over the moon” about the retirement, noted Lupo, who calls Vadnais Heights home.

“She finally will have me around.”

The former owner did agree to stay on six months to help the new owners with the transition. “Their group wants to learn our way.

There’s a lot to know,” he said.

Looking back, Lupo is most proud of being self-taught in a bakery business he started in 1978 as a Mr. Donut franchise in South St. Paul.

He turned it into an independent bakery shortly after and eventually moved to White Bear Lake about 30

years ago.

Lupo credits his success to his involvement in his industry and community and, as mentioned earlier, a lot of hard work. He’s served as president of the Retail Bakers of America and helped establish September’s National Bakery Day to celebrate contributions neighborhood bakeries make to their communities. He also served as chairman of the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce in 2016 and chaired Manitou Days for several years. The bakery owner is largely responsible for helping set the world’s largest sundae record at Marketfest in 2013 and the popular cakewalks at the summer festival.

He created a 2-ton cake commissioned by the Minnesota State Lottery for Taste of MN in 2006 and once filled a last-minute order from Target for 15,000 gingerbread cookies for the Holidazzle Parade.

The Lupos plan to travel now that John is retired. A visit to see their daughter and her family in New York City is first on the list, followed by a 2022 trip to Hawaii.

They have four grandchildren.

“I want to just be normal,” Lupo confessed. “I want to do yard work and woodworking and tinker on my motorcycles.” He has a collection of old Honda motorcycles that have regretfully remained in storage the last few years.

“We’ve had a great run,” Lupo said. “I’ve lived the American Dream right here in White Bear Lake, and now I’m really looking forward to retirement.”

CATALYTIC CONVERTERS: Local auto dealers help victims of theft The label provides an effective short-term solution, explained Dan Louismet, general counsel for the MADA. “Even if they don’t deter theft, they provide a tool for both law enforcement and county prosecutors to actually go after the crooks,” Louismet said.

Technicians also paint the converters in a bright color, to warn buyers that the parts may be stolen.

The loss of a catalytic converter can lay a vehicle owner up for weeks since replacement parts are not easy to obtain. Catalytic converters don’t usually fail, so there is no existing stock of backups. Replacing the part may take up to nine months in some cases.

White Bear Mitsubishi owner Richard Herod emphasized that checking your insurance coverage is one of the most important things anyone can do to protect their vehicle.

“They’ve really been victimized more than once,” Herod said. “Not only did something get stolen off their car, they have this deductible, and then they have nothing to drive. Educate yourself about your comprehensive insurance deductible,” he said.

“Make sure you take a look at what your deductibles are for that type of vandalism.”

He also recommended car rental coverage, and that car owners check into getting a registration device or a protective clamp or shield installed.

“Local new car dealerships are at the forefront of helping their customers prevent catalytic converter theft and helping them get back on the road if and when they are the victim of a catalytic converter theft,” said Louismet.

Anyone interested in receiving this free service can contact White Bear Mitsubishi or other participating dealerships to schedule a free appointment.

As winter approaches, there is a nationwide increase in the cost of natural gas, due to supply and demand pressures. With these higher natural gas prices, an average customer who uses the same amount of energy this winter as last winter will see an increase in their bills.

While natural gas continues to be the most affordable way to heat a home, as prices are higher than usual it’s a good time to consider ways to conserve energy as we head into the heating season.

Here are ways customers can save energy and money this winter: • Lower your thermostat a few degrees, ideally to 68 degrees or lower.

Voice Clarifying TV Headset

• Adjust your programmable thermostat to automatically lower the temperature while you are away or while you sleep.

• During daylight hours, open drapes and blinds to maximize heat from direct sunlight. To retain heat, keep them closed when it is dark.

• Run ceiling fans in a clockwise direction to push warm air down from the ceiling, adding comfort and savings.

• Keep interior doors open to help circulate air more freely and maintain constant heating levels.

Stay vigilant

C

arjackings are on the rise in the Twin Cities area and it seems we are hearing about them nearly every day in the news.

While the majority are occurring in Minneapolis and St. Paul, we have heard reports of them happening in neighboring communities such as Maplewood, Woodbury, Little Canada and Shoreview. As the parent of two teenagers who are starting to drive everywhere in the East-metro area, these reports have gotten my attention.

While it’s not likely that you will become a victim of a car theft or carjacking, it’s worthwhile to be aware and take precautions.

Recommendations I’ve heard to lessen your chance of becoming a victim include being aware of your surroundings at all times, staying off your cell phone while walking to your car so you’re not distracted, and choosing a closer parking space in a well-lit lot. Travel with other passengers if possible. Keep doors locked and pay attention at stoplights. If you think someone is following you, drive to a police station, not home. If you get a rear-ended, don’t get out at the scene to check for damage, but drive to a place where you can safely pull over and notify the police, such as a well-lit parking lot with cameras or a populated gas station. If you see something suspicious, call 911. Another recommendation is to keep house keys separate from car keys and hide the garage door opener to prevent thieves from having a way to get into your house. Carry only a minimum number of credit cards and small amount of cash in your wallet. Since cell phones are usually also stolen with the car, don’t keep financial information on your phone and always have apps password protected If you are confronted by carjackers – they Publisher’s usually attack in groups – it’s best to try to stay calm, turn over your keys and stay out View of harms way. Don’t try to fight back or follow Carter Johnson your stolen vehicle - the car can be replaced.

Try to remember as much as you can about their identity, and of course, call 911. Since the perpetrators will typically have a getaway car, try to get the license plate number.

A carjacking usually involves a vehicle being stolen at gunpoint, whereas car thefts are more common and do not typically involve threats of violence. Locally, I have heard of cars being stolen because they were left running, something many of us are guilty of doing especially in winter. This is nothing new, but thieves seem to be more brazen. Last year a friend had their vehicle stolen from their driveway as they were loading it with food and Christmas gifts to bring to a relative’s house. These are cases where thieves happen to be in the right place at the right time and see an opportunity. Keep cars off and locked when you’re not in them.

Another technique getting national attention is perpetrators using tracking devices like the Apple AirTag to track a person or vehicle. The AirTags are a little larger than a quarter and can be tucked inside a gas cap or taped somewhere on the car. If you travel in areas where this might be likely, check the bluetooth signal on your phone to see if AirTags or other unfamiliar devices show up, then drive a few hundred feet and check again.

These devices have a short bluetooth range and the signals should fade out if no one is following you. Again, if you have concerns call the police.

What continues to be alarming is the theft of catalytic converters. This is pretty prevalent in our area, as evidenced in our weekly police reports. Replacing a catalytic converter is costly. The best way to prevent theft is to park your vehicle in a garage if you have one. If you don’t, have a protective cage installed around your catalytic converter or have it tagged with serial numbers. Installing a motion light in the area where the vehicle is parked can be a deterrent, as are cameras. Certain makes of vehicles are also more likely to have their catalytic converters stolen. Neighbors should keep watch for suspicious activity – if you see something, say something by calling 911.

This time of year especially, theft of packages and mail is always a concern. Many retailers alert you now when a package is going to be delivered so you can watch for it. Planter decorations on your porch can be a screen so deliveries are not visible from the street. Don’t use the red flag on your mailbox for outgoing mail pick up. Create a neighborhood watch group where you can keep an eye out for each other’s homes, cars and packages. Last weekend a neighbor from a block and a half away returned a package to us that had slid its way down the snowy street in the heavy winds. It was a neighborly thing to do – the stuff communities are built on.

With the increased stress around us, we don’t need to live in fear, but we do need to stay attentive.

Fund local journalism to help communities This editorial column is being made available to members of America’s Newspapers for reprint. Portions of this editorial were previously published in The Wall Street Journal, as a letter from Dean Ridings.

A

portion of the Local Journalism Sustainability Act (LJSA) was included in the recent Build Back Better bill that was passed in the House. The LJSA, which has bipartisan support in the House, provides needed support for local journalists across the U.S. and is now being considered in the Senate.

While there has been tremendous support for the LJSA overall, there have been some pundits who have Movers & questioned whether government Shakers support Dean Ridings for local journalists will maintain a free press. One such claim recently came from The Wall Street Journal in an opinion piece asserting the LJSA is “a subsidy for local journalists, most of whom are left of center.” It’s important for local newspaper readers to understand this claim is not only misleading but is also incorrect. While the writers at The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times may be

interested in demonstrating how right or left of center they are, most journalists at local newspapers are dedicated to the news of their community without a slant in either direction.

One of the reasons the LJSA has gained so much support is the focus on protecting local journalism. The LJSA is designed to help local journalists in local communities and not the national media. Outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Huffington Post, CNN, Fox and others won’t qualify for support as they have too many employees or don’t produce local news. The creation and consumption of local news is different than national news, and according to a 2019 Knight-Gallup study, more people believe their local news organizations are accomplishing most of the key tasks of informing their communities, significantly higher than national outlets. Without a local news organization, where else can a community get information about their local school board, the mayor’s race and other important components of community life?

The LJSA also provides even the smallest newspapers with a bridge to continue their digital evolution. Most local newspapers receive no compensation from Big Tech companies such as Facebook or Google for use of their content.

While The Wall Street Journal may be able to negotiate a deal with Google to be paid for use of its content, most small newspapers don’t have that option, and they are challenged

to find the resources to provide the news that is critically needed by their communities. This additional resource will provide the local news industry time to continue its transition to a more digital future and to work out a better arrangement either through legislation or other means to be paid when Google and Facebook use their content.

The LJSA is also not a permanent handout for the industry. It’s a tax credit that sunsets in five years and is structured to incentivize all local news organizations to retain and even hire more journalists to cover their communities. While some hedge-fund owned newspaper companies and other major corporations will benefit from the tax credits, the real winners will be the communities they serve. For the thousands of small independently-owned newspapers across the U.S., particularly in rural communities without other viable news sources, the LJSA will mean that they have a much better chance of staying afloat.

We strongly encourage the Senate to support the elements of the LJSA in the Build Back Better bill. We are appreciative of Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and the many co-sponsors of this bill who understand how important it is for all communities to have a strong local news voice; when it is lost, everyone loses.

And that has no slant to the right or to the left.

“I helped pass the bill that allows people to drop off unused prescription drugs,” Gardner said. “We were trying to fi nd ways to keep people from flushing them down the toilet, which can harm the water.”

Currently, Gardner is the administrator for the Minnesota Clean Water Council.

“The council advises how to use the Clean Water Fund, which is the money from the Clean Water and Land Legacy Amendment that was approved by the voters,” he said. “It’s ironic, because I was actually was in the Legislature when we put it on the ballot.”

Gardner and his wife Michelle have lived in Shoreview since 1997 and

have two children, Megan, 23, and Ben, 20.

“In our own house, we have five rain barrels and solar panels, which actually lowered our electric bill. It shows people in our community on what is possible,” Gardner said. “You are helping the environment and the climate and saving money at the same time.”

Mayor Sandy Martin and the City Council presented the award to Gardner at the Shoreview volunteer appreciation dinner last month.

“He’s done a lot of environmental things, but it’s a variety of different things. He represented this community as an elected official, and after that he didn’t disappear into the background. He stayed involved with the things he was committed to, and he’s still serving the community,” Martin said. “All the

In his spare time, Gardner likes to canoe with his family on Snail Lake and Rice Creek and work on his family genealogy.

“I’ve been working on my family history off and on for two decades.

I’ve been able to track down quite a bit. I’ve found some good stuff, some bad stuff and some weird stuff.”

Gardner encourages others to start volunteering, because they will learn where their time and skills can make a difference.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Scam targets Facebook Marketplace users

Yet another scam is making its rounds on social media, and this time it’s targeting Facebook Marketplace users. The new scam has been coined the Google Voice verification scam. It targets sellers on Facebook by obtaining their cell phone numbers to create a number on Google Voice, a telephone service that allows someone to place and receive calls and texts from anywhere in the world, connected to the seller’s cell phone number.

Here’s what to look for: scammers will contact you asking to buy an item you’re selling, but before they agree to purchase the item, they will ask to verify that you are a real person by asking for your cell number and then asking to send you a confi rmation code. If the scammer

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF BRIEF obtains your info, they can use it to open accounts in your name or use it to hide their identity and scam others. Make sure to report all scams to reportfraud.ftc.gov to prevent others from getting scammed.

Burglary at Flaherty’s Arden Bowl

A burglary occurred in the 1200 block of County Road E in Arden Hills at Flaherty’s Arden Bowl around 5:12 a.m. Nov. 26. According to the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, cleaning staff heard loud glass breaking, looked out into the bar area and saw two suspects enter through a large broken window.

When confronted by the cleaning staff, the suspects fled back out the window and left the area in an older gray Volvo station wagon. The burglary is under investigation.

Pizza money doesn’t pass UV test A Blaine man, 40, faces a maximum of five years and/or maximum $10,000 fine for felony possessing counterfeit currency and a possible addition of up to one year in prison and/or a maximum fine of $3,000 for violating a domestic abuse no-contact order (DANCO) while doing so. The sentences will have the enhancement stamp on them due to prior convictions in 2017 for financial transaction card fraud and in 2019 for felony motor vehicle theft.

Just after midnight on Nov. 20, deputies were dispatched out to Pizza Man in the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway on a report of a customer paying a $69.31 pizza bill with a counterfeit $100 bill and receiving $31.67 of real money in change. The suspect could be found sitting in a car in the parking lot, the employees said.

On arrival, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies found the car

occupied by two people. The suspect was seated in the passenger seat with a Pizza Man box on his lap. During the post-arrest search of the subject, deputies found two suspected counterfeit $100 bills in his left front pocket. Additionally, deputies found suspected methamphetamine in a purse in the vehicle and an active domestic assault warrant on the suspect that prohibits him from having any contact with the person who was behind the wheel of the vehicle.

Investigators examined the three $100 bills involved in the case, using a device that locates the security thread on certain U.S. currency via ultraviolet light. While using the ultraviolet device, investigators were unable to locate the security threads in any of the three $100 bills in question, but easily located the threads in a $50 bill from their own wallet.

The subject also owns a conviction for violating an order for protection.

County board to vote on library changes

Two possible library changes may be coming from the Ramsey County manager’s proposed 2022-2023 budget. The Shoreview, Maplewood and Roseville libraries may close one hour earlier Monday through Thursday. The change in library hours will help meet the levy target, support operational efficiencies and better align with the Metropolitan Library Service Agency (MELSA) partners. Another proposed change is to eliminate fi nes on adult materials. This change aligns with the 2020 elimination of late fines on all youth materials. The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners is scheduled to vote on the proposed budget at its meeting at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 14. If approved, the library changes will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2022.

Student loan payment relief set to expire

Student loan borrowers take note: A pause on federal student loan payments is set to end when February rolls around. The moratorium on payments, in place since March 2020, will be lifted Jan. 31. The student loan relief, which was a part of the Cares Act, has provided more than 40 million student loan borrowers with student loan forbearance during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In total, student loan borrowers will have received more than $110 billion of student loan cancellation as a result of temporary student loan forbearance. The Biden administration has said it will not extend student loan relief beyond Jan. 31, which means borrowers should be prepared to restart federal student loan payments at regular interest beginning Feb. 1.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com You knew it had to happen. This is Minnesota and not Florida. We received our first real slap of winter this past weekend as our mild Pacific flow was replaced with much colder Arctic air.

I totaled 1.8" of snow Saturday night and into Sunday morning, making it our largest snowfall total this year. It was a bit sloppy and slick Sunday morning, forcing us to brush up on our winter driving skills. After the snow, strong winds dropped temperatures into the single digits, our coldest temperatures of the season. The jet stream is changing quickly and we'll see a nice warm-up this week.. Side note: My 2022 weather calendar is out! Check my website for more info. WeathermanWatson.com or call me at 651.206.5364.

Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake.

Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.

SPORTS PREVIEW MUSTANGS // MOUNDS VIEW BASKETBALL//BOYS

Coach — Dave Leiser Assistants — Thad Weber, Jeff Crosby, Bjorn Hanson Last year — 16-4 overall, 15-3 conference (champion) Captains/returning starters — Dylan Wheeler (senior guard), Kobe Kirk (senior guard), Ben Erickson (senior guard), Ryan Edelman (senior forward) In the mix — Duncan Loegering (senior forward), Jacob Becher (junior forward), Alex Espersen (junior guard), Colby Deluce (junior guard), Justin Kim (junior forward), Tyler Kahl (junior guard), Eli Roe (sophomore forward), Joey Fretheim (sophomore guard), Enoch Lee (junior guard) Fast facts — Top 2 scorers return: Kirk (15.2 ppg) and Wheeler (12.0), both all-conference picks.

Coach says — “We are excited about the upcoming season. Returning two all-conference players is a plus. We have a strong supporting crew that has worked exceptionally hard to be in a position to contribute.

The keys will be how we grow together as a team, play strong defense, and shot selection. The Suburban East will once again be one of the top leagues in Minnesota and we are playing some challenging nonconference games. We will definitely be tested all season long as we prepare for a run at tournament time.”

Fast facts — Landberg and Tsai are returning all-conference skiers; Saari is Irondale’s coach this year, with one lone skier, sophomore Anthony Petkov, a state qualifier candidate.

Coach says — “We have a large team this season with some strong, young talent and some veterans. We have strong leadership within the team so we should put up some decent results.”

Coach says — “Captain Maddie Hanson is healthy again and ready for her senior season. Bria Stenstrom has worked hard and is going to have a really good year.

Caution vital as open water begins to freeze With a deadly open-water season nearly in the rearview mirror, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminds everyone that lakes and ponds throughout the state have started to freeze — and that where ice hasn’t formed, the water is dangerously cold. It’s up to all people to choose to stay safe around the water or ice, according to the DNR. Where there is ice, its thickness this time of year is highly variable and subject to the whims of Mother Nature. And where ice hasn’t formed — or where it freezes at night and opens during the day — the water temperature is so low that an unexpected drenching can be deadly.

As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches, it’s vital that parents talk with their kids about staying safe.

With a couple days off from school, it’s natural for kids to want to be outside, and water and ice tend to be a natural draw.

“There’s nothing worse than when a time of year that should be festive turns tragic,” said Lt. Adam Block, boating law administrator for the DNR Enforcement Division. “Teaching your kids to be vigilant around the water this time of year — and doing the same yourself — isn’t just a good idea. It’s an absolute necessity.”

Anglers and others who recreate on the ice should stay on shore until there’s at least 4 inches of new, clear ice. Anytime people are on the ice, they should check its thickness every 150 feet. Block urges people to check ice thickness for themselves rather than deciding to walk on the

ice based on what they’ve heard or read.

Each year, unexpected falls into cold water lead to serious injury and death. Wearing a life jacket is the best way to avert tragedy, since the initial shock of falling into cold water can incapacitate even strong swimmers. Carrying a good set of ice picks can help a person get out if they fall through the ice, and a cell phone, whistle or other communications device makes it more likely they will be able to call for help.

General ice safety guidelines

No ice can ever be considered “safe ice,” but following these guidelines can help minimize the risk: • Always wear a life jacket or float coat on the ice (except when in a vehicle).

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

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

• Bring a cell phone or personal locator beacon.

• Don’t go out alone; let someone know about trip plans and expected return time.

• Before heading out, inquire about conditions and known hazards with local experts.

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is looking for input on how Minnesotans currently access the electronic license system, and what they want in the future as systems are modernized.

Feedback from current and potential users — including anglers, boaters, hunters and recreational vehicle operators — is critically important. States throughout the nation are updating their license systems to take advantage of new technology and to improve customer experience.

To access the survey, visit the DNR’s engagement page at mndnr.gov/ELS. The survey will be open through Jan. 31. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. $2.4 million available in grants for EAB management The DNR encourages local and tribal governments to apply for grants to help manage and reduce the impacts of emerald ash borer (EAB) on their community forests. The DNR will accept grant applications through Monday, Jan. 24.

Tribal and local units of government in Minnesota, including cities, counties, regional authorities, joint powers boards, towns and parks and recreation boards in cities of the first class (more than 100,000 residents), are eligible to apply.

Grant-eligible activities include treating and removing ash trees, planting a diversity of trees, conducting public tree inventories, developing EAB management plans, hiring technical assistance, and engaging and educating citizens.

Priority will be given to projects that remove and replace ash trees that pose significant public safety concerns or benefit underserved populations or areas of concern for environmental justice.

This grant provides funding to cover the cost of chemically treating ash trees on public or tribal land within 10 miles of a known EAB infestation. With $2.4 million available, applicants can request a maximum of $150,000 (there is no minimum). No match is required for this grant. For more information, visit www. dnr.state.mn.us/grants/forestmgmt/

protect-community-forests.html. Applications can be submitted to ucf.dnr@ state.mn.us through Monday, Jan. 24.

DNR to rescind rule temporarily banning farmed deer movement

An emergency rule temporarily prohibiting the importation and movement of farmed white-tailed deer into and within Minnesota has been rescinded.

The temporary rule, which began Oct. 11, is one tool the DNR has used to reduce further spread of chronic wasting disease (CWD) and protect the health of Minnesota’s wild deer.

The rule was in response to the discovery that a CWD-positive farm in Wisconsin shipped 387 farmed white-tailed deer to farms in seven states, including Minnesota. In enacting the rule, the Minnesota DNR sought time for it, the Minnesota Board of Animal Health (BAH), and other state and federal agencies to track the movement of deer from the infected farm and understand the potential risk to other herds.

The DNR worked to obtain all available information from agencies outside Minnesota that are involved in the regulation of farmed deer, but has concluded that learning more won’t be possible due to loss of records, variability in the ways other jurisdictions monitor CWD in deer farms and in wild deer, and the lack of testing in some other states. As a result, the DNR cannot fully determine the risk these deer pose to Minnesota’s wild and farmed deer populations, but believes it has done all it can to understand the risks posed by the Taylor County, Wisconsin farm.

The DNR built on its CWD surveillance efforts during this year’s deer season by managing 87 sampling stations in the state’s mandatory and voluntary sampling areas. More than 7,000 samples were collected, which will provide invaluable additional insight regarding the geography and presence of CWD in Minnesota. In addition to its ongoing CWD surveillance efforts, the DNR will work in cooperation with the BAH to strengthen permanent rules pertaining to interstate and intrastate movement of farmed cervids.

Steve (Seller)

James is an outstanding person. Thoughtful, kind and a true professional. He knows his craft.

James was referred to us from someone who had a previous real estate transaction with him.

He helped us sell my elderly mother’s home in 2020. He was so kind and thoughtful as he guided my mother through the process. Taking the time with great patience explaining what things meant and what to expect in the process. He also had to deal with those meddling kids keeping a close eye on their financial prize as they are eventual heirs to the transaction outcome. I would highly recommend James if trying to sell a home with these circumstances.

He gets it and knows how to handle the gentle dance of the normal dysfunctional family.

As a result of our experience with James selling my mother’s home, we enlisted his expertise for the future transaction of selling our long time home in the spring of 2021. James is the true professional telling us with brutal honesty what we needed to spruce up and what to expect as our home was well lived in with no updates. We listened to James and James listened to us through the entire transaction. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Minnesota or Florida, we would highly recommend James and his assistant Joclyn to make your real estate transaction a pleasant experience.
