The Lakeshore Quilters Guild is calling all quilters and members of the community to attend its 14th anniversary party on Tuesday, July 26.

The first meeting of the Lakeshore Quilters Guild was held in July 2008. Gail Carlson, of Shoreview, was interested in joining a guild and contacted the White Bear Lake Guild, whose leaders encouraged her to start one in Shoreview.

She put a small ad in the Shoreview Press and 23 people attended the first meeting.

Attendance almost doubled the next month.

After just a few months of meeting at the Shoreview Library, the group needed more space and moved to Shepherd of the Hills Church in Shoreview.

The group still meets there on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Currently, there are 75+ members.

“Early in our existence, I heard a member remark that she’d never experienced a group come together so strong, so fast,” said original guild member Sharon Fiebiger of Shoreview. “We were brought together by a hobby, but I think the interpersonal support and encouragement we share keeps the guild both rooted and growing.”

Board member Barbara Kuhlman of Lino Lakes went to the first organizational meeting and enjoys being part of a group of talented and amazing women.

“This is not just a building, it’s an art building,” Kathie Cafesjian Baradaran said.

The Cafesjian Art Trust (CAT) is opening a new art museum this fall at 4600 Churchill St. in Shoreview.

Scholars, art lovers, students and the general public will be able to study and enjoy the private collection of art lover and philanthropist Gerard Cafesjian.

Business, Best Fried Rice and Best Sitter/Boarding.

Voting is easy and available 24/7 online at Press Publications’ website at https://www.presspubs.com/ shoreview/bestof/. Readers can vote once per day.

The winners, along with finalists, will be unveiled in a special tab in The Shoreview Press this fall.

Joey Tan, who will graduate from Mounds View High School this year, has been named one of 5,000 candidates in the 2022 U.S. Presidential Scholars Program.

She was selected from about 3.6 million students who are expected to graduate in 2022 from all the high schools in the country. If she is chosen, Tan will be one of only 161 U.S. Presidential Scholars awarded this prestigious award.

“I was surprised when I received the email message, knowing there are so many other candidates just as good in my school and the country. But honestly, I was very happy but mostly just grateful for the opportunity to apply for the program,” Tan said.

The U.S. Presidential Scholars Program, which was established in 1964 by the executive order of the president, recognizes some of the nation’s most outstanding graduating seniors for their accomplishments in many areas: academic success, leadership and service to school and community, including accomplishments in visual, creative, performing arts and technical fields.

It is not surprising that Tan was selected in this first cut for the award. Always a high achiever, she not only enrolled and excelled in all of her advanced placement (AP) classes at Mounds View High School (MVHS) and secured high scores in standardized tests, but she is also carrying a full load of classes as a post-secondary enrollment options (PSEO) student at the

Cobbling may be a dying profession, but the tradition is alive and strong at George’s Shoe & Repair in Arden Hills.

Luke George, a fourthgeneration cobbler, is one of the best in the business. He recently won the Gold Award in the Silver Cup Contest from the Shoe Service Institute of America (SSIA).

“I was blown away, since it was my first try. I got gold, and that was awesome,” George said.

this year, I honestly expected to place lower because I knew people in the competition.”

For the competition, George bought two beat-up pairs of shoes that were worn in and started refurbishing them.

“I had to make them look brand new—like they just came off the shelf. It’s a lot of detail and a lot of time,” he said. “They judge detail, balance, the trim and finish of the edge, the stitch lines, and other small details.”

Since the late 1930s, the Silver Cup Contest has recognized excellence in shoe repair

craftsmanship. SSIA’s founders recognized that quality craftsmanship is at the core of success in the shoe repair industry and created this contest as a means to recognize it and promote it.

George’s Shoe & Repair has a long history spanning more than 110 years. Luke’s greatgrandfather, Joe George, founded the shop in Lebanon in 1905. When he retired, he passed the business along to his son, Said, who ran it for nearly 40 years and moved operations from SEE 4TH-GENERATION COBBLER, PAGE 5

Former council member receives Citizen of the Year award Bob Weyandt, age 81, has been giving back to Shoreview for almost 50 years.

He is the recipient of the 2022 Shoreview Citizen of the Year award.

“I don’t think I’ve done anything that impressive,” Weyandt said.

“I’ve just been here all of these years and at times I got some beautiful opportunities.”

Elected to the City Council in 1973, on which he served until 1989, Weyandt was involved with many significant decisions and initiatives.

These included the purchase of the land that became Shoreview

Commons and shepherding major housing and population growth.

Weyandt said his proudest moment on the City Council was when he helped spearhead a group home in Shoreview called Residents Inc. “Right after I joined the City Council, we passed a law for the construction of a facility for severely developmentally disabled people in a residential neighborhood,” he said.

“That caused a lot of attention.”

Besides serving on the City Council, Weyandt has also volunteered several different organizations, including: • Shoreview Jaycees: Regional vice president and director of SEE CITIZEN OF THE YEAR, PAGE 5

Mayor Martin attends last council meeting

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Former City Manager Terry Schwerm drove nearly 50 miles to attend Mayor Sandy Martin’s last City Council meeting as the Mayor of Shoreview.

“I was so touched when Terry Schwerm drove 50 miles (in the snowstorm) to be there for my last meeting — he was there for my first,” Martin said.

“Twenty-six years was a long time to sit in this chair but it feels like 26 minutes.”

City Manager Brad Martens gave Martin a statement from Congresswoman Betty McCollum who

honored Martin on the floor of the House of Representatives in November. In addition, he also gave Martin a flag that was flown over the United States Capitol in honor of Martin’s exceptional leadership and service as mayor of the city of Shoreview.

Martin also received a plaque in honor of the “Sandy Martin Legacy Gardens” which will be in the Shoreview Commons pond and garden area.

“I’m probably the luckiest woman in the world because I’ve had this wonderful job that I love,” Martin said.

“The reason I loved it is pretty clear because I got to work with this

incredible staff and good people who have become my friends for life.”

Martin, who is the city’s longest-serving and first female mayor, has a lengthy record of service including: • Mayor, 1997 – 2022 • Council member, 1989 – 1993 • Planning Commission member, 1975 – 1988 • Ramsey County League of Local Government Board • Regional Council of Mayors, board member and co-chair • Municipal Legislative Commi• Northeast Youth and Family Services, board member and chair

Since she announced her retirement, Martin said she has received an outpouring of support and appreciation from the community and people she doesn’t even know.

“I’m very pleased that we have this wonderful council and a wonderful new mayor who’s going to guide the city,” she said. “Shoreview will continue to move forward.”

At the end of the Dec. 19 City Council meeting, the council was reluctant to adjourn knowing it was Martin’s last council meeting.

She made her final statement as mayor.

“I’ll miss you all,” she said. “I will say how proud I am of what we’ve done together.

We have done amazing things. In all of these discussions I haven’t really outlined all the things that I’m proudest of — there are many. But what really makes me proud is the way we’ve done things and how we’ve done it. We worked as a team, we worked together and we always kept our community at the top. That’s the way Shoreview does things. It’s trite to say it’s been an honor and a privilege, but you know what, it’s been an honor and a privilege. Thank you.”

JANUARY 3, 2023

Reflecting on 2022

023 HAS ARRIVED! Happy New Year to everyone. Let’s take a look at the past year.

A lot has happened.

Politics seems more divided than ever and it is far from a peaceful time in the world.

Covid spread around the world and changed things, from our shopping habits to schools online, and created a debate over vaccines and boosters. Every medicine cabinet now carries a test kit.

Travel finally seems to be coming back. Dining out is too, but many restaurants have closed. Many community events were still canceled and attendance has dropped at major athletic and events.

About the entertainment Grocery stores geared up for curbside pickup and delivery Town services. Independent delivery Gene Johnson companies sprang up, in some cases with same day service.

Customers have gotten used to these services.

A “Triple-demic” of Covid, influenza, and RSV has caused hospitals to once again reach capacity.

People are still wearing masks to prevent the spread of all kinds of germs, in the workplace and while out shopping. Masks are still required in most medical facilities.

Working from home got a big start over the past couple of years and is continuing, for the most part in a successful way. Some companies now require an employee to come in one or two days a week at minimum.

On the economic side the stock market has declined, interest rates on savings are very low, and inflation at 7 and 8 percent for the last several years is hitting almost everyone’s budgets for food, fuel, car buying, rents and mortgages, to name just a few areas.

When it comes to automobiles and trucks, new features are providing more safety. For example, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warnings, lane-keeping assist, rear and front alerts, blind spot monitoring, plus more. It takes a study of the instruction manual to learn how to use them. Smart watches allow those who are skiing and have a downhill crash to get assistance by calling 911 on their cell phone. On the other hand, cell phones cause accidents because of people trying to multitask.

We are seeing more artificial intelligence in health care. It makes it easier for people to understand their symptoms and be active about preventative care and find the best self-care options.

Internet technology is advancing and the Covid effect for churches turned many people onto online services rather than being in a crowd of people. Forty percent of churches are expected to close this coming year.

Megachurches are growing.

Regarding energy, fusion is coming to a reality, but it will take years before we can bring it to practical levels for heating our homes and fueling our cars.

It’s been quite a year and we continue to struggle to live at peace with each other. We have also seen our educational scores decline, the government debt load increase and there have been issues at the border where thousands are trying to enter the United States for a better way of life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Biggest comeback in NFL history

eing a Minnesota Vikings fan is not easy sometimes.

After witnessing many heartbreaks in past games, nothing could have prepared me for the biggest comeback in NFL history.

I was driving to a friend’s house to watch the game between the Vikings and Indianapolis Colts. When I got into my car, the score was 0-3. Before Noelle’s I knew it, the score was 0-33 Notes before halftime.

I was listening Noelle Olson to Paul Allen on KFAN and couldn’t believe how the Vikings could have gotten themselves into such a pickle. How embarrassing. When I finally got to my friends house, people were telling me how bad it was. Being true Vikings fans, we continued to watch the game and endure the suffering that we’ve been used to all of these years. However, the impossible happened.

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins said cornerback Patrick

Peterson told him at halftime that the defense would stop the Colts and all he needed to do was get five touchdowns. Easy, peasy right? Not that easy, but not impossible for Kirk and his offensive weapons — Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook and K.J. Osborn.

If you watched the game, you know what I am talking about.

Winning that game in overtime was amazing. The Vikings aren’t a perfect team, in fact there is no perfect team in the NFL. Parity, turnovers and penalties can change the game immensely. Mental toughness is key for players and play calling is essential.

When I watched ESPN the next morning, I was surprised that the top story was not the biggest comeback in NFL history but the Buffalo Bills coming back to beat the Miami Dolphins. What the heck! If this would have been Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, or Aaron Rodgers pulling off the biggest comeback ever, it would have been the top story in sports media and they would be praised. Cousins doesn’t get the credit he deserves from the national sports media. Some sportscasters call him and the Vikings a “fraud.” I recall

Kansas City coming back from a lot of games the year they won the Superbowl. In fact, they were down by quite a bit at the Superbowl and came back to win the game. It’s very frustrating.

There is something special about the team this year. I’m not saying they are going to win the Superbowl but they are special.

They have a great locker room and play as a team. Watching Cook being interviewed by KFAN’s Ben Leiber after the game says it all. Cook thanked the fans for sticking around and gave credit to all of his teammates for the comeback win. Leiber was so excited as well. It’s just so great to watch this team this season.

Even if you’re not a football fan, you can take a lesson from this game. Never give up no matter what obstacles are in your way. All you can do is try and you might be surprised by the outcome. For better or worse, I will always be a Vikings fan through the good, the bad and the ugly.

CITIZEN OF THE YEAR: Volunteer Bob Weyandt

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Leaving Twitter

In his letter in the Dec. 20, 2022, edition of the Shoreview Press, Steve Peterson writes to tell us as to why he left Twitter. These four paragraphs are the perfect example of what is wrong in our culture today.

His listed reasons are several. Musk has some agenda to expand his personal views. Twitter is a money-making private business? Twitter has too much control? Lack of trust in Musk’s leadership? What has changed? Nothing is different. Twitter has always been a corporation. It has always been in business to make money. Just because it had “investors” doesn’t mean anything.

My IRA has investments. They don’t call me to ask my opinion on anything. And Twitter has played a significant role in how and what information is shared. Over the past several years, numerous people and organizations have been canceled on Twitter and other social media platforms for espousing ideas that have been deemed unworthy.

Many of these have been positions held by civilized society for several thousand years. Isn’t the whole point of social media to exchange ideas? Or is it to just get your own ideas reinforced? Evidence comes out weekly, from Twitter itself, on how Twitter has controlled speech and opinions on the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 election, Hunter Biden laptop story, and more. Numerous people holding strong religious beliefs have been censored for stating beliefs that have been consistently espoused for a long time.

I suspect that the issues for Mr. Peterson are not as he stated, but simply that he does not agree with dissenting opinions and dialogue that should not be allowed to exist. So, as is typical in today’s culture, rather than engage in opportunities to share ideas, he demonizes and cancels those who differ with him. What happened to diversity? Just because you don’t agree with someone else doesn’t mean they don’t get to have opinions, too.

George Orwell’s “1984” was never intended to be a handbook for a better society.

JANUARY 3, 2023

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF DEPUTIES Whether it’s turkeys, smashed squad cars or criminals pushing them around, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies rarely have a dull day, as chronicled from 2022 incident reports.

• Skating deer. An exhausted deer was reported ice skating Jan. 10 around a rink in Bobby Theisen Park in the 3500 block of Vivian Lane, performing all sorts of desperate spinning and jumping tricks on four hoofs. The rink attendant arrived at the scene to help the deer skate off the rink and into the woods toward freedom.

• Not for skating. A resident in the 100 block of Colleen Avenue on Jan. 27 reported criminal damage to her property after the outdoor water spigot was turned on when she was away from home. The yard was definitely flooded, and there may be water damage to the basement of her home.

• Collateral damage, part 1.

Deputies on patrol in the 1500 block of Hall Street during the mid-morning of Feb. 20 reported a motorist, 65, for backing into their squad. No damage occurred to either vehicle, and no citations or warnings were handed out.

• Turkey files, part 1. An injured turkey reported Feb. 24 in the 800 block of Dawn Avenue was captured and transported to the University of Minnesota Wildlife Rehabilitation Center after it gobbled and tried to fly away when grabbed.

• Getting pushed around. A Vadnais Heights man, 42, was arrested on multiple warrants at 6:22 a.m.

March 15 in the 1000 block of Gramsie Road following a report of two suspicious males with a crowbar. After

the males split up, deputies located their vehicle and arrested the warrant suspect, who had fled on foot after pushing deputies.

• The art of distraction.

A St. Paul man, 36, has been charged March 22 with falsely redeeming the five lottery tickets he stole at a Kath Gas Plus station in the 3400 block of Rice Street, after he was identified via crime alert.

His unique tattoos matched those seen on surveillance footage of the theft. He had distracted the lone clerk at a Lino Lakes gas station by throwing a jug of milk on the floor and stealing the tickets while the clerk was mopping up.

• Turkey files, part 2. A turkey was reported April 8 for standing in the median of Highway 96 near Hodgson Road for seven hours, although it was not reported whether the turkey was a male in full fan tail display that entire time. When deputies arrived on scene, they did not locate what they described as the “confused on how to cross the road” turkey, and neither did the animal control officer called out to the scene.

Deputies speculated that perhaps “a wise chicken may have provided assistance.”

• The Attack Robin. Deputies on May 4 were summoned out to the scene of an “attack robin” going after a front door in the 3200 block of Owasso Heights Road every day for the past several months. Deputies advised the caller that nests have been built in the evergreens near the garage, and that the male bird was becoming aggressively territorial with his reflection in the storm door.

• Threatening treats. A

resident in the 600 block of Schifsky Road on April 18 reported a package of treats and an unsettling note left at the door. The report did not disclose whether the treats were Peeps or any other kind of candy the Easter Bunny might leave.

• Collateral damage, part 2. Deputies on routine patrol reported their squad car damaged April 23 at Shamrock Park in the 5600 block of Snelling Avenue N. by a motorist backing out of his parking space at the park. No injuries were sustained by either driver, and the squad car received scratches on the right rear quarter panel. Roseville police compiled the accident report.

• Getting blamed for everything. A Shoreview man, 36, reported being stabbed at 7:59 p.m. May 28 by a Shoreview female, 23, in the 3400 block of Kent Street, in what deputies described as only one of multiple calls of assault from this address. Although the male was bleeding from his forearm when deputies arrived on scene, both he and the female were uncooperative, declined medical attention and claimed Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies were harassing them.

• Watch out for those blind dates. A Shoreview man reported his vehicle stolen at 5:38 a.m. June 15 from the 1000 block of Gramsie Road after he had met a female online. When he woke up in the morning, he discovered his car keys missing and the vehicle not at its spot in the underground parking area. After the vehicle was entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database, it was recovered by the Brooklyn Park Police Department the

next day and towed to the impound lot for processing.

• Never mind, deputies; I got this. The owner of a stolen vehicle reported finding it at 11:57 p.m. June 15 in St. Paul and driving it back home to the 100 block of Grass Lake Place.

The vehicle was properly recovered via data entry in the NCIC. • Find the brown house.

Deputies responded to a complaint of a cat at large on the complainant’s property in the 5900 block of Lexington Avenue N. June 29, as part of an ongoing issue. The address of the cat was not given, but deputies were given an important clue — that the cat lived next door to a brown house on the complainant’s street.

On arrival at the scene, however, deputies observed that all of the houses on that strip were brown.

• Stuck ducks. Several ducklings were reported stuck at the bottom of a window well in the 1000 block of Glenhill Road July 6, while the hen was nearby quacking and calling out instructions and warnings to them. Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies netted up all the ducklings and reunited them with their mother to “resume forest lessons.”

• Who owes whom now? A Brooklyn Park man, 47, was arrested Oct. 14 in the 1800 block of Park View Drive after he was reported for slashing two tires on his friend’s vehicle when he went to the complainant’s work address to talk to him about money he had borrowed and not paid back. The complainant said the two were talking when the suspect pulled out a knife and slashed both driver’s side tires of his vehicle. The suspect was

still on scene inside his car when deputies arrived. He admitted to slashing the tires and has been charged in Ramsey County Court with gross misdemeanor damage to property.

• Chain of stolen Kias.

A Circle Pines woman reported her gray 2021 Kia Sportage stolen Oct. 21 after she parked it in an apartment lot while visiting a resident in the 4000 block of Hodgson Road. When she left the apartment building, she found broken glass where her vehicle used to be parked and a 2020 white Kia Sportage with a broken rear window still running parked in the vacant space left by her stolen vehicle.

A witness stated she saw four youths exit the white Kia at 12:01 p.m. and enter the gray Kia via a back window, start the car and drive away. The white Kia the victim found in her vehicle’s place had been stolen out of Woodbury. The victim’s credit cards and identification had been left inside her vehicle and were also reported as stolen. The Richfield Police Department recovered her stolen gray Kia on Oct. 21. Her vehicle was unoccupied, its ignition punched, with a broken rear window.

• Looking for a warm spot in the dryer, maybe? A resident in the 5600 block of Erik Lane reported spotting a snake in the utility room Nov. 1. Deputies emailed him a short list of contractors specializing in wild animal removals.

• Turkey files, part 3. A resident in the 5600 block of Erik Lane on Nov. 8 reported a live turkey in the backyard that had not moved for several days.

reported stolen Jan. 24 off a vehicle in the 3400 block of Richmond Avenue. The plate has been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database.

• The Freedom Valu Center in the 5900 block of Hodgson Road on Feb. 9 reported lottery tickets stolen from the counter as the clerk was processing the transaction. The suspect fled in a vehicle recently stolen out of Richfield. The suspect was identified, and the case turned over to the Minnesota Bureau of Apprehension.

• A nail kit, gloves, sunglasses, mylar blanket and a multitool were reported stolen Feb. 12 from an unlocked auto parked in a driveway in the 900 block of Harriet Avenue, after the vehicle was rummaged through.

• Deputies on Feb. 14 issued a Keep Our Kops Safe (KOPS) alert for a female and two males in a black Nissan Rogue who fled the gas station in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue N. without paying for their $91.37 in gas. The subjects also rang up items from inside the store and didn’t pay for those, either. The license plate number of the vehicle was recovered from the security video, as well as photos of the subjects.

• A catalytic converter was reported stolen from a vehicle Feb. 14 as it was parked in a lot in the 500 block of Harriet Avenue sometime between Jan. 31 and Feb. 6. The theft cost its owner $2,000. There are no suspects.

• Deputies on Feb. 16 recovered picture frames and dental floss along the Canadian Pacific service

road. These items had been stolen during a burglary and were subsequently placed into evidence for further testing.

• A can of “fix-a-flat” and two picnic baskets were reported stolen overnight Feb. 28-March 1 from an unlocked vehicle parked in the 4000 block of Hodgson Road.

• A Nintendo Switch and a car seat were reported stolen overnight March 6-7 from an unlocked vehicle parked in a driveway in the 100 block of Dennison Avenue.

• A handicap placard and a check were reported stolen from an unlocked vehicle parked overnight March 6-7 in an apartment complex lot in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue N. A vehicle title, registration and insurance card were reported stolen from

another vehicle as it was parked in the same parking complex overnight March 6-7. Later, cookware was reported stolen from an unlocked vehicle parked in that same lot sometime during March 6-8.

• An Isanti man reported a handgun taken from a lunch box inside an unlocked vehicle March 18 while it was parked at a work site on Rice Creek Parkway and Prairie Clover Drive. The item has been entered into the NCIC database.

• A vehicle parked overnight May 26-27 in the 4300 block of Reiland Lane was reported broken into, and a fanny pack, dog bags and a gentle leader collar were reported stolen.

• A medical bag and sunglasses were reported

BECAUSE IT WAS THERE? Sometimes we know why thieves steal certain objects, as mentioned in Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies incident reports, and sometimes we have no idea why they would steal, for example, a Tupperware container. All we are left with is to surmise that the thieves thought they really needed that item badly just then.

• The BP gas station in the 5900 block of Hodgson Road reported a forced entry burglary overnight Jan. 15-16, during which more than $1,000 of cigarettes was stolen.

• More than $3,600 worth of fishing gear was reported stolen overnight Jan. 16-17 from a pickup truck parked in a driveway in the 1100 block of Woodcrest Avenue, after the rear driver’s side window was smashed in.

• A license plate was

stolen overnight June 1213 from a locked vehicle parked in an underground garage in the 1000 block of Gramsie Road. No damage to the vehicle was reported.

Another victim reported golf shoes and a wallet stolen from her locked vehicle in the same garage sometime the same night.

• An aluminum trailer was reported stolen June 16 from a back yard in the 700 block of Harriet Avenue and entered into the NCIC. • An electric bicycle was reported stolen June 16 from a bike rack in an underground garage in the 1000 block of Gramsie Avenue. The bike had been

• Residents in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue N. reported a floor jack and turkey fryer stolen sometime over the weekend of Oct. 1-3 from the apartment complex detached garage. No suspect information is available.

• Employees of Country Inn and Suites in the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway turned in a video showing a male and female entering the hotel at 8:40 a.m. Oct. 2 and removing two framed paintings worth $100 from the fourth floor hallway.

They were then seen leaving the parking lot at 8:43 a.m. in an unidentified black vehicle.

• A backpack containing clothing was reported stolen from a vehicle parked on the street in the 4700 block of Chandler Road overnight Oct. 3-4 after the driver’s side window was smashed in. The neighbor’s camera captured the image of a white SUV stopping by the vehicle at 4:30 a.m.

• Hockey equipment worth more than $2,000 was reported stolen overnight Nov.11-12 from an unlocked storage unit in an underground garage in the 3500 block of Owasso Street.

firearm stolen Feb. 4 from her vehicle parked in the 3400 block of Lexington Avenue while she was in a store buying flowers. The front driver’s side window was smashed in for access.

The victim canceled her credit cards after a female suspect tried to use one of the credit cards in Lakeville.

• Heavy price for not being vigilant. A resident in the 5900 block of Fernwood Street at 5:47 a.m. Feb. 7 reported being assaulted and robbed by a female, known only by her first name, after he invited her to his place at 2:00 a.m. Since he had been drinking, he fell asleep and woke up at at 5:30 a.m. only to notice that he had abrasions and lacerations to his face. The woman was gone, and so were his iPad, Roomba, radio, sound bar, wallet with credit cards and phone. Oh, and the keys to his car and the car itself were also missing, presumably with all of the above listed items in it. The phone was later found Feb. 8 in the area of Sherwood Road and Turtle Lake Road.

The car was recovered by Roseville police Feb. 10 parked in a hotel parking lot and displaying license plates stolen from a different vehicle.

• Take one, leave one. A resident in the 3100 block of Lexington Avenue N. reported a package stolen from the front door step at 12:08 p.m. March 31.

Doorbell camera shows the suspect leaving behind two empty boxes addressed to people across the street.

The addressees of those boxes were advised of possible theft. On April 4, a resident in the 800 block of Harriet Avenue reported a package stolen after a mysterious empty box addressed to the above Lexington Avenue residence stolen March 31 was left in its place.

Now the Shoreview area has a package thief with a

signature modus operandi.

• Setting up a subterfuge.

Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies at 5:14 a.m.

April 2 reported receiving a suspicious phone call from a party living in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue N. stating that her vehicle had been stolen the day before. The female was also at the same address that 911-only phones were pinging to, while calling in her vehicle as a suspect vehicle in catalytic converter thefts. In other words, deputies wondered if she herself was involved in thefts using her vehicle and later calling in to say that it had been stolen and that the catalytic converter thefts were committed by “the thieves” who “stole” her vehicle.

• Take out your troubles on others. A Cannon Falls man, 34, was mailed a citation April 3 for assaulting a gas station attendant in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue N. after Minnesota State Patrol officers dropped him off at that station when he ran out of gas on the freeway. Officers even lent him a gas can and complimentary gas amounting to $7. But these actions did not make him grateful. Instead, he entered the business and started accusing staff of stealing from his belongings. When he was asked to leave, he confronted an employee, who he pushed down into a display. State Patrol officers provided deputies with information on the suspect for citation mailing purposes.

• They know me, but they cannot catch me. The catalytic converter of a Honda CR-V was reported stolen at 8:13 a.m. April 6, minutes after it was parked in a driveway in the 4000 block of Evergreen Place. The suspects were seen driving away in a tan 2003 Pontiac van with Montana plates. The case has been linked to other

middle-of-the-work day catalytic converter thefts in Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township due to the appearance of the same tan van in those incidents.

• Counterfeit tabs. A St. Paul woman, 38, was cited April 8 in the area of Lexington Avenue N. and I-694 for gross misdemeanor tax evasion following a traffic stop for displaying the valid registration sticker of a different vehicle because her own registration had expired in October 2020.

The phony sticker was attached to her vehicle’s license plate with packing tape. The case has been forwarded to the city attorney for consideration of charges.

• Not quick enough to cut, but quick enough to escape. A White Bear Lake woman reported an attempt on her catalytic converter’s life April 8 while she was visiting a friend in the 600 block of Tanglewood Drive. When they heard a loud noise outside, the complainant and her friend looked out the window to see another vehicle parked in the driveway. The vehicle fled after the thieves paused and saw the curtains twitch. The complainant ran outside and found the catalytic converter cut on one end and left dangling.

• Picking on little kids. A Shoreview man, 54, was arrested June 10 in the area of Fernwood Street and Ravenwood Street for obstruction of the legal process and for disorderly conduct after deputies were dispatched to the scene of an intoxicated male yelling and cursing at kids selling lemonade.

• Be unreasonable when you don’t get your way. Management at a restaurant in the 1000 block of Red Fox Road on July 10 reported a Door Dash driver for disorderly conduct after the driver became upset that the restaurant didn’t furnish bags and then pushed the cash register

off the counter. He also threw disposable cups and tinfoil packaging onto the floor, such that $200 worth of items had to be thrown away. The manager just wanted the incident reported.

• E-bike hit and argue. A Blaine man reported being involved in a hit-and-run accident July 10 in the 5800 block of Rice Creek Parkway, after an electric bicycle struck his car.

After arguing with the complainant, the biker rode away.

• This time, you’re going to jail first. An Andover man, 28, was arrested for assault July 20 in the 1300 block of Willow Creek Lane after deputies were called in to assist emergency services personnel in removing an unwanted person from a residence. When EMS personnel were trying to transport the subject to the hospital for mental health treatment, he spat on them twice while in the ambulance. In a reversal from the normal destination exchange, the subject was removed from the ambulance and transported to jail instead.

• There was no card to ‘not go through’. The BP station in the 400 block of Highway 96 reported an unknown female for driving off without paying her $37 fuel tab at 6:38 a.m. Oct. 11. At gas stations, credit cards occasionally don’t “go through,” and the customer doesn’t realize it. However, in this case, the suspect left in such haste that she almost hit an employee when driving away. The case is under investigation.

BRAZEN CRIMINALS AT WORK They’re either desperate, brash or both, according to 2022 incident reports from the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.

• What secure underground garages? A Shoreview man, 39, reported the tailgate soft cover of his truck cut Jan. 30 and $10,000 in work tools stolen while the truck was parked in an underground garage in the 100 block of Grass Lake Place.

Surveillance video shows suspects forcing entry into the garage and opening it to bring in another vehicle before rummaging through multiple unlocked vehicles. The case is under investigation. Another resident reported a Trek bicycle stolen from the same underground garage Jan. 31. Surveillance video showed the bike in the bed of the suspect truck leaving the garage.

• Stealing from your vehicle while you watch.

Approximately $908 in tools was reported stolen Feb. 1 from a work truck parked in the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway while its owner was inside a restaurant eating lunch.

Seated in the restaurant looking out the window, the victim noticed two people inside his truck.

When he left the restaurant, two males wearing black hoodies got out of his truck and left the area in a blue hatchback.

• The two-hour broken window of opportunity.

A New Brighton woman reported the driver’s side window of her vehicle broken in as it was parked in a lot in the 4000 block of Rice Street while she was at work Feb. 4 between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. Nothing is known to have been taken.

• Keep one eye on the flowers and one eye on your car.

A West St. Paul woman reported a work bag containing a wallet with credit cards, cash and a

The class was organized into departments with respective managers and assistant managers who worked together to organize separate specific jobs for the event. These included operating and tracking, communications, social media, print and online media, research and technology, finance and event design. All proceeds from the event will go to Pawsitivity Service Dogs to help train and care for service dogs for people in need. The class’s goal is to raise $7,500 through an organized dinner event on May 26.

‘Operation Pollination’ abuzz in Shoreview

The Arden Hills – Shoreview Rotary Club will soon begin the building process for its newest project, a pollinator garden and rain garden at McCullough Park. President Charlie Oltman is leading the project with prior president Mike Spellman and Community Service committee member Kent Peterson. Oltoman said that Rotary has seven areas of focus, and one of them is on the environment. The Rotary has prioritized pollinator gardens for quite a few years. Without pollinators, Oltman explains, 75% of the world’s plants would disappear and 35% of our food supply would disappear. A pollinator garden will help maintain and increase the amount of pollinators in the surrounding area. As the number of pollinators decline worldwide, the three say the pollinator garden will be a small demonstration in support of a much larger mission.

The Mustangs also had senior Wren Anderson in 34th place in 19:17, junior Emily Mehta in 49th in 19:27, senior Laurin Isabel in 87th in 20:00, junior Lauren Kath in 109th place in 20:27, and sophomore Kate Roeber 131st in 20:47, among 159 runners. Coach Jimmy McArthur said the 2022 Mustangs are a team “with no egos” that supports each other completely. Regarding Ousdigian’s development, he said, “Linnea committed this summer to trying to close the gap between her and Emily and Taylor. Taylor and Emily helped Linnea the whole time.” Isabel battled illness this fall and got stronger as the season wore on.

Shoreview receives high marks in community survey The city of Shoreview is continuing its mission to create a high quality of life for its residents by providing exceptional services and amenities.

The 2022 community survey, conducted by Polco, showed that 95% of residents rated the quality of life as either excellent or good. This places Shoreview as the top city among 20 of its local peer cities that Polco has surveyed. Shoreview’s quality of life rating consistently has been very high since the city began surveying residents in the late 1980s.

Residents also rank various aspects of local leadership and government highly.

Mayor Martin reflects on the city she loves, prepares for retirement When Sandy Martin first took the oath of mayor in 1997, she never dreamed she would still hold that title 26 years later. “I have loved this job,” Martin said. “I never aspired to any other level of government, because I truly believe in local government because I think it’s so important.” Martin, a lifelong resident of Shoreview, has served the city for nearly 50 years. She served on the Planning Commission for 15 years and the City Council for five years. A retirement reception was held recently at

the Shoreview Community Center in Martin’s honor. Martin was taken by surprise when city staff unveiled plans for “The Sandy Martin Legacy Gardens,” which will be located at the Shoreview Commons pond and garden area. “I never dreamed that they would do this garden,” Martin said. “When I think about my grandchildren and great-grandchildren coming to Shoreview and seeing that, it makes me very emotional.”

What to do with your natural Christmas tree: A regional guide

BY RANDY PAULSON STAFF WRITER

Unless people plan on keeping their natural Christmas trees up until the holiday arrives again this December, the time has come to dispose of the evergreen plants.

The conifers cannot simply be thrown into the trash; instead, they are either picked up through curbside collection or must be recycled at yard waste collection sites.

All ornaments, lights, tinsel and tree stands must first be removed before the trees are taken to a disposal site.

Residents in Anoka, Ramsey and Washington counties have a few options to get rid of their trees.

Anoka County has two compost sites where residents can dispose of their Christmas trees at no charge: • Bunker Hills, 13285 Hanson Boulevard NW, Coon Rapids.

• Rice Creek, 7701 Main St., Lino Lakes.

Bunker Hills and Rice Creek are open 9 a.m.1 p.m. Saturdays through March, weather permitting. Christmas wreaths can also be taken to beginning each site for a1/1/2023 fee of $5 per wreath.

In Ramsey County, holiday trees can be brought to the following yard waste collection sites: • Arden Hills: 1881 Hudson Road.

• Frank and Sims, St. Paul: 1150 Sims Ave. • Midway, St. Paul: 1943 Pierce Butler Route.

• White Bear Township: 5900 Sherwood Road.

FILE

All four Ramsey County locations have the same hours through March: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturdays and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sundays.

In White Bear Lake, trees are picked up as part of residents’ regular trash service at no extra cost to them.

Pickups occur the first two full weeks of January on normal trash collection days. Residents must set their trees next to their trash containers by 6 a.m. on their designated collection day to ensure it’s taken away. The city advises residents to wait until the day before or the day of their collection to set out trees so the plants don’t get stuck in the snow or ice.

Washington County meanwhile has four tree drop-off spots: • Northern Yard Waste Site: 5527 170th St. N., Hugo.

• Rumpca Companies: 9600 Glendenning Road, Cottage Grove.

The Northern Yard location is open 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Saturdays through March. It is open to all Washington County and Ramsey County residents and doesn’t charge for tree disposal.

Rumpca Companies takes holiday trees and wreaths 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 7 and 14. It week 1/1/2023 charges beginning $3 per item but waives the fee if people also bring a canned good to be donated to a local food shelf.

Residents in all three counties can also contact their respective cities or private waste haulers to learn if those entities will accept holiday trees.

Service dogs: What they are, what they do Federal law doesn’t require service dogs to be professionally trained — owners can train their dogs themselves if they’re able — but professional organizations such as Can Do Canines facilitate the process of connecting people with disabilities with trained dogs.

Dogs at Can Do Canines, which also breeds or rescues most of the dogs it trains, undergo a process that spans about two to two-and-a-half years from their birth to when they’re placed with an owner. Much of that time period involves extensive instruction with professional trainers as well as inmates at seven prisons across Minnesota and Wisconsin. After getting matched with a client, the dog spends the final few weeks of training with that person and a trainer.

BY RANDY PAULSON STAFF WRITER

Service animals play a vital role in the day-to-day lives of their owners.

That’s why federal and Minnesota laws exist that provide protections to people with service animals. The majority of such animals are dogs, though in some cases they can be miniature horses.

Section 363A.19 of the 2022 Minnesota Statutes says it’s “unfair discriminatory practice” for owners, operators or managers of hotels, restaurants, public conveyances or other public places to prohibit a person with a disability from taking their service animal into the public place or conveyance to aid them with their disability. Service animals should be properly harnessed or leashed so the owner may maintain control of it.

“An assistance dog — it fundamentally changes someone's life,” said Jeff Johnson, executive director of Can Do Canines in New Hope, the largest service dog provider in Minnesota.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) states service animals have been “individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability.”

Those tasks must directly relate to the person’s disability.

That means emotional support or companion animals are different from service animals because the former don’t perform specific tasks.

“They're awesome. They're wonderful tools, and they really help people,” Johnson said of emotional support animals (ESAs). “But they are fundamentally different from an assistance dog, because they're not trained specifically for one or more tasks.”

Common tasks service dogs perform include but aren’t limited to the following: • Hearing important sounds for people who are deaf.

• Guiding people who are blind.

• Offering mobility assistance for people who have difficulty moving on their own.

• Smelling blood sugar levels of diabetic people to alert them if those levels drop.

• Responding when their owner experiences a seizure due to epilepsy.

David Fenley, ADA director for the Minnesota Council on Disability, agreed that there’s confusion between service dogs and ESAs and that the latter are still important for people with disabilities.

“ESAs, unlike service animals, are not allowed in places of public accommodations that don't allow dogs,” Fenley said.

“If the brewery allows dogs, bring any dog you want, that's fine. But with restaurants and health codes, only service animals are allowed in.”

Service dogs don’t require documentation of their service animal status, even if they’ve undergone professional

Tim Roufs speaks to students in a classroom with his hearing assist dog, Bentley, at his side. Service dogs like Bentley help their owners with various day-to-day tasks. training. Fenley said that’s because no government entity recognizes any such documentation.

Even though vests or capes that say “Service Animal” exist and are easy to purchase, simply putting one on a dog doesn’t make that dog a service animal.

A business owner or employee is able to ask two questions of a service animal owner in situations where it’s not clear the dog is a service animal: “Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?” and “What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?”

Fenley said those questions are allowed because they’re specifically designed to get the minimal amount of information needed by an enforcement entity, such as law enforcement, without violating a disabled person’s privacy.

Trained service dogs, however, are well behaved and typically stay next to their owner’s side when in public. Signs a dog may not be a trained service animal include erratic behavior, disobeying its owner’s commands or getting easily distracted.

“If the dog’s on a 20-foot leash running around, that dog’s not performing its tasks; it's just a dog out having a good time,” Fenley said.

The ADA requires service dogs to already be trained to do their designated tasks before being allowed in public with their owner. In Minnesota, however, service dogs in training are also allowed to be with their owners in public.

OTHER STATE LAWS: • Section 343.21, Subdivision 8a and 9a: Prohibits someone from harming a service animal or preventing it from doing its job. A person convicted of such is guilty of a misdemeanor and must make restitution for any resulting expenses.

• Section 609.833: Prohibits people from misrepresenting an animal as a service animal. Doing so can make the person guilty of a petty misdemeanor for a first offense and a misdemeanor for any additional offenses.

Shoreview tax levy increases nearly 7 percent

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Higher public safety costs have contributed to a 6.89% increase in the 2023 tax levy.

“The largest impact is in the public safety for the contracts for police and fire, and they’re driving the levy by $462,176,” Finance Director Fred Espe said.

“The second-largest driver of the tax increase is staff changes, wages and benefits at $366,645.”

The city did not receive any local government state aid in 2022 and will not receive any in 2023.

The Housing and Redevelopment Authority levy, which is outside the city’s levy, is $295,000.

Espe said that each year, Shoreview is compared to 28 cities with similar populations in the metro area — 14 cities above Shoreview’s population, and 14 cities below. In 2022, the median home value was $341,700. Shoreview’s tax rate on a median-valued home is the sixth-lowest, or 24% below the average of $1,457 at $1,105. Columbia Heights is the highest at $2,256. White Bear Lake is the lowest at $747.

This comparison is only for city taxes. In looking

at the total tax bill of all jurisdictions on a home valued at $341,700, Shoreview is the 11th-highest, or 6% above the average of $4,467.

“We established the preliminary levy back in September, and that levy was not to be exceeded but could be decreased,” Mayor Sandy Martin said. “We did decrease the levy by about $5,000.”

Shoreview resident Ellen Stiehl spoke about the 2023 budget and tax levy at the public hearing held at the Dec. 5 City Council meeting. She asked if she could have an assessment done to change the property tax on her townhome.

“For us, it went up close to 15% and the value went up, and these are small townhouses with very little improvement,” she said. “There are some very expensive townhomes just north of us, and some homes have done quite a bit of improvements, which we have not done.”

Martin said the back of the property tax statement explains how someone can appeal the value of one’s home. People can also contact City Hall with questions.

Espe said the deadline to appeal is sometime this spring. Martin noted that there is also a senior citizen property tax deferral system that seniors can apply for.

City Council member Sue Denkinger commented on the increase in public safety costs from the Lake Johanna Fire Department and Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office.

“To give a consistent service level throughout the community, they needed to hire some more staff and they also needed to adjust their wages to attract and attain fire department employees,” Denkinger said.

The council unanimously approved the 2023 budget and tax levy at the Dec. 19 City Council meeting.

“This increase is bigger than typical in Shoreview, but we are also facing a lot of different circumstances,” Martin said. “I commend you (Espe) and the staff on bringing this budget to the level that it’s at and keeping the residents in mind.”

5 easy ways to get outdoors this winter Rent snowshoeing or skiing equipment

Wondering how to get outside and enjoy the outdoors this winter? The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has some great no- and lowcost activities open to everyone.

“We know Minnesotans love being outdoors, and winter offers a whole different way to play outside,” said Ann Pierce, DNR parks and trails director.

The DNR offers several suggestions to make getting outdoors easy, fun and affordable for Minnesotans:

Snowshoe rentals are available at 30 state parks and recreation areas, and five state parks offer cross-country ski rentals. Rental prices vary by location, and some state parks offer free rentals.

“Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are great activities to be active while beating cabin fever,” Pierce said. “If you need rental equipment, it’s a good idea to check the website for the park you’re planning to visit or call ahead to get details about the type of rental equipment offered at the park and to check for availability.”

For snowshoe rental information, visit the snowshoeing page of the DNR website (mndnr.gov/state_parks/ snowshoeing) and for cross-country ski rentals, visit the ski pass map on the DNR website (mndnr.gov/Skiing/ SkiPass/Map.html).

Get a vehicle permit

Try ice fishing

Try winter camping

Winter camping is offered at 25 state parks and recreation areas. For visitors looking for a warmer overnight stay, many state parks offer heated camper cabins with electricity and yurts with wood stoves that are open year-round. Camper cabins accommodate up to six people, while yurts hold

It’s free to fish in many Minnesota state parks, and some parks have fishing kits for visitors to borrow.

“Ice fishing is a quintessential winter activity in Minnesota,” said Pierce. “If you’re new to ice fishing, don’t worry, we can help. State parks offer events and hands-on learning programs to teach you how to ice fish.”

Those interested in ice fishing in state parks can read tips, learn about ice safety, find a lake to fish on and more by visiting the state parks ice fishing guide (mndnr.gov/ state_parks/ice_fishing.html). To find parks that have fishing kits available to borrow, see the DNR’s page about borrowing equipment (mndnr.gov/ state_parks/loaner.html).

three to seven people. Pets are not allowed inside camper cabins or yurts.

Find the winter camping guide (mndnr.gov/State_Parks/Winter_ Camping) on the DNR website, as well as information on staying in camper cabins (mndnr.gov/CamperCabins) or yurts (mndnr.gov/Yurts).

Look into family-friendly events

Events and programs are scheduled at state parks throughout the winter season, offering a wide range of activities, including escape rooms,

interpretive hikes, crafting, education about park wildlife and more.

“Whether you want to learn, or be physically active, or both, you’re sure to find an event that fits you,” Pierce said. “State parks and trails events are suitable for beginners and all age groups.”

State park events are free, but a vehicle permit is required to enter the park. Find state park events on the DNR events calendar (mndnr.gov/ PTCalendar).

Vehicle permits are required to visit state parks and recreation areas. The cost is $7 per day or $35 for an annual permit. Permits can be purchased at a park office, or visitors can save time by purchasing online before heading to the park. Park permits can be purchased on the DNR website (mndnr. gov/ParkPermit).

The DNR also offers free park permits through its library program.

More than 100 libraries across Minnesota offer seven-day permits that people can check out at no cost.

“The library park pass program is a terrific way to access state parks for free,” Pierce said. “It’s one way we’re removing barriers to getting outdoors and enjoying the beauty of Minnesota’s state parks.”

A list of participating libraries is on the DNR website (mndnr.gov/LibraryPass).

Former Mounds View hockey player makes it to the pros

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Sydney Brodt first put on ice skates when she was 2 years old, and hasn’t stopped since.

Brodt, 24, is a forward for the Minnesota Whitecaps, a women’s professional hockey team in the Premier Hockey Federation. The team plays in Richfield, Minnesota, at the Richfield Ice Arena.

Brodt’s love for hockey began in North Oaks.

“Growing up, I played a lot of hockey at the North Oaks ice rink with all of my friends,” Brodt said. “Every day after school, we’d go down there and play. I’ve always just loved the game.”

Brodt graduated from Mounds View High School in 2016. She made the Mustangs girl’s varsity hockey team as an eighth grader.

“A highlight for me while playing for the Mounds View team was going to the state tournament twice — when I was in eighth grade and when I was a sophomore,” she said. “I had a lot of great friends on the team, and I loved my coaches. I still have good relationships with them.”

Brodt got a scholarship to play hockey at the University of MinnesotaDuluth (UMD). She played all four years and received a degree in financial markets and a minor in psychology.

“We went to the national tournament once when I was there, and my favorite game was beating the Gophers,” she said. “I really loved Duluth.”

After college, Brodt played in the Linköping Hockey Club in Sweden for a year.

“It was a great experience, because I got to play and got to travel around

Europe,” she said. “They have a super good league over there for women where they pay your cost of living and it’s a good place for female players to play after college,” she noted.

After playing overseas last year, Brodt said it’s good to be back in Minnesota and playing for the Whitecaps.

“This is the first year that we’ve gained a lot of traction, and we’re getting good living salaries,” she said. “We are playing at a much higher level; it’s really taking off with sponsorships, great coaches and management.”

Brodt is living with her parents, Bart and Darcy of North Oaks.

“My parents really love it that I’m back in the U.S. and Minnesota so they can come to my games,” she said. “My dad has coached me my entire life, and our family is really into hockey.

They’ve been an inspiration for me, especially my dad.”

When she’s not playing hockey, Brodt is an assistant coach for the women’s hockey team at Hamline University.

“That’s what I do in the mornings and afternoons, and then I have practice with the Whitecaps later in the afternoon,” she said. “I love it.”

In the future, Brodt plans to keep on coaching hockey or pursue a career in financial markets — or maybe both.

But now she will continue to play professionally for the Whitecaps.

“Hockey has given me so much,” she said. “It’s crazy how many people I’ve met along the way throughout the world. It’s super special.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Girls hockey: Mustangs are runners-up in Brooks tourney The Mounds View/Irondale girls hockey team was runner-up in the Gold Division of the Herb Brooks Tournament last week.

“We have had great games lately,” said coach Dana Romaker, “because the girls have been working well together and playing a faster, more physical game.”

MVI improved to 5-8-1 with the two tourney wins.

The Mustangs opened with a 3-1 win over Dodge County (12-3) on Monday at Schwan’s Super Rink in Blaine.

Gabi Bullert scored in the first and second periods, the latter of those short-handed, and Sarah Johnson made it 3-0 just 12 seconds into the

third period. MVI goalie Jennifer Rupp stopped 22 of 23 shots on goal.

The Mustangs rallied from a 2-0 deficit to defeat Luverne 3-2 on Tuesday, also at Schwan’s Super Rink.

Luverne (9-3) took the lead on two goals by Kamryn Van Batavia. MVI pulled even with goals by Nadia Buck and Johnson in the second period.

The score remained 2-2 until Lauren Ballinger got the game-winner at 15:07 of the third period. Rupp was again in goal.

Duluth Marshall (8-4-1) topped the Mustangs 3-1 in the finals on Wednesday at the TRIA Rink in St. Paul. Madelyn Tinkle had the MVI goal on a power play. The score was 1-1 starting the third period. Hailey Cummins and Meredith Boettcher
