STATE OF THE CITY CITY: Mayor shares priorities PAGE 2

Mounds View elementary schools set to reopen Jan. 25

by the Minnesota Department of Health, we have the best chance to provide safe seasons with reduced interruptions and also plan for full postseason experiences.”

Required to wear masks in practice and games will be the hockey and basketball players, and the Alpine and Nordic skiers. Exceptions were made for wrestlers, gymnasts, swimmers and cheerleaders. In the fall, with most sports outside, masks were not required. Some volleyball players wore them voluntarily.

Most Mounds View elementary school students can return to the classroom full time later this month following changes to the state’s Safe Learning Plan.

Gov. Tim Walz announced in December that all elementary schools in Minnesota could open for in-person instruction as early as Jan. 18 with proper restrictions in place.

Those restrictions primarily include requiring staff to wear a face shield in addition to a mask and for schools to make biweekly COVID-19 testing available to all staff who interact with students.

The state’s decision to allow elementary schools to reopen was based on increased knowledge about COVID-19 and its spread. State health officials say that children are less susceptible to serious complications from the virus.

Mounds View will reopen its elementary schools to K through third grade students Monday, Jan. 25, and to fourth and fi fth grade students Monday, Feb. 8.

Superintendent Chris Lennox said that the phased return dates are due to a state requirement.

“The state allows a maximum of three grades to start in-person learning at one time. After a twoweek window, schools can welcome additional grades back to school,” he said in a Jan. 8 email to families.

“Since our kindergarten students are located in buildings separate from elementary schools, we will be able to start kindergarten at the same time as fi rst, second and third grades.”

K-3 students will have two days off (Jan. 21-22), as will fourth and fi fth grade students (Feb. 4-5). Staff will use these as planning days to ensure a smooth and safe transition back to the classroom.

“Our staff will be using this time to collaborate, coordinate and

Winter sports to open with masks, discipline, empty seats

The winter sports season, twice delayed by COVID-19 restrictions, finally launched last week, albeit with most participants wearing masks, few spectators allowed and shorter seasons.

Mounds View season previews for all teams, along with reports some season openers, appear in this edition of the Press.

“My first and foremost concern is for our athletes’ safety,” said Chris Yauch, swimming coach. “Given that this season will present many challenges, I will be happy just to see

the boys give their best effort.”

Winter sports are starting a month and a half late. They were cleared by the Minnesota State High School League to start practices Monday, Jan. 4, and competitions Thursday, Jan. 14, after Gov. Tim Walz eased up on restrictions imposed in November and December.

“These experiences are so important to students, and they have been anxiously waiting to get these winter seasons started,” MSHSL Executive Director Erich Martens said. “By implementing these safety protocols recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics and required

share resources across the district so that we are prepared to support our students in these new learning models through the end of the year,” Lennox said. “By taking this time now, we are confident we can get this right and return students back to school in a sustainable manner for the remainder of the school year.”

Families can opt to have their children continue with distance learning if they do not feel comfortable sending them back to school. Middle and high school students will remain in distance learning for the time being.

“The current expectation from the state is that school districts continue to follow the original guidance provided in the Minnesota Safe Learning Plan,” Lennox said. “We will continue to work with local and state health officials and the Minnesota Department of Education to determine when and under what conditions we will be allowed to bring back middle and high school students to the classroom. As soon as we have this clarity, we will share this information with all families.”

Mayor gives State of the City address

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR

More than 400 votes were cast in Press Publications' fi rst holiday lights contest, and only three votes separated the fi rst-place winner from the second-place winner.

Those three votes made a big difference for 14-year-old Wes Strub, who took fi rst place in the contest. As he does every year, the Mahtomedi Middle School student took it upon himself to decorate his family's home and yard with colorful lights that have added a lot of much-needed cheer to the surrounding neighborhood.

Start to fi nish, the entire display took Wes about a week to set up, though his mom, Katy, said that he added several new pieces as he went along. The result was a bright and beautiful display to shine a bit of light into the darkness.

Wes said that his favorite part of the process is making new DIY items to add to the display each year—and, of course, turning the whole thing on for the fi rst time. To those looking to go above and beyond with their own holiday lights next year, Wes recommended having plenty of patience and a lot of extra zip ties on hand.

Wes Strub, 14, received the first place prize in Press Publications’ first holiday lights contest.

As is customary for the City Council's fi rst meeting of the year, Mayor Sandy Martin delivered the State of the City address Jan. 4.

Martin began by acknowledging the hardships brought by the past year.

“At the start of 2020, we were fi lled with hope and optimism at the start of a new year and a new decade,” she said. “Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in personal suffering for so many people, and it has adversely affected each and every one of us in some manner.”

However, Shoreview residents have proven resilient, as has the city, Martin said.

“The generosity of our residents has been demonstrated through donations to the local food shelves and volunteer efforts to help those who are isolated or unable to shop safely,” she said. “Our city staff has ensured that critical city projects have been completed in a timely fashion and that essential municipal services are provided safely and efficiently.”

Helping small businesses through the economic impact of the coronavirus crisis has been a top priority for the city. Martin pointed to the establishment of a forgivable loan program, which has so far given grants to more than 30 local businesses, as evidence of the city's support.

Shoreview has big plans in store for 2021, Martin said. Phase two of the Shoreview Commons renovation is set to begin later this year. This second set of improvements primarily includes a new destination playground. “This new playground area, which will be located near the intersection of Victoria Street and the City Hall entrance, promises to be one of the largest and most exciting playgrounds in the entire metro area,” Martin said.

The city is also in the middle of a comprehensive update to its park system plan.

“This plan will review all of our city parks, examine demographics and current recreation trends and develop conceptual master plans for all of our city parks,” Martin said, promising that public input would be central to the city's plans. “There will be an active public engagement process that will involve the youth athletic associations, the Parks

and Recreation Commission and Shoreview residents.”

Shoreview is ripe for development, Martin said, noting that significant residential and commercial construction has continued despite the pandemic. “In the past few years, Shoreview has added more than 1,000 marketrate apartments and townhomes in the city, greatly expanding the variety of housing choices that are available,” she said.

Affordable housing is also a major priority for Shoreview. Last year, the city bought two properties on County Road E with the long-term plan of incorporating them into adjacent Bobby Theisen Park. However, in the meantime, the homes will be renovated and used as affordable housing. The city has also purchased a tax-forfeited home near Lexington and Hamline Avenues, which will also become an affordable rental.

Within the next year, the city will complete its street reconstruction project, which began in the mid-1980s. The aim is to reconstruct all substandard residential streets in Shoreview and bring them up to current roadway standards, with concrete curbs and gutters as well as modern storm drainage systems. The second phase of a two-year street reconstruction in the Edgewood Acres neighborhood will be completed this year after which, Martin said, “every street in the city will have been brought up to current standards. After 2021, the city's efforts will then turn to maintenance and rehabilitation of more than 90 miles of city-owned streets,” Martin closed her address by affi rming her belief in the importance of local government and her appreciation for the citizens who make Shoreview “one of the premier communities in the state of Minnesota.”

“As I begin my 25th year as mayor of Shoreview, I continue to believe that the local level of government is where we can make the largest impact on the quality of life in a community,” she said. “This strongly held belief keeps me focused on working hard to create a better city for both current and future generations of Shoreview residents and businesses.”

State lawmakers share session priorities

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR

State legislators from Minnesota's 42nd District recently held a virtual town hall meeting to share their priorities for the 2021 legislative session, which began earlier this month and is scheduled to adjourn May 17.

Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn (DFLRoseville), Rep. Kelly Moller (DFLShoreview) and Sen. Jason Isaacson (DFL-Shoreview) met Saturday, Jan. 9, via videoconference to discuss the current session and answer questions from constituents on a variety of issues.

With a forecasted budget deficit and a split Legislature (Democrats control the Minnesota House and Republicans, the Senate), the session is shaping up to be a difficult one, but legislators of the 42nd District still expressed optimism about what could VID-19 CO

be accomplished by May. All three cited addressing the impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and supporting struggling Minnesotans through it as top priority.

“Obviously, we're still dealing with the pandemic … We're getting closer to 400,000 deaths in the United States.

Obviously, this is still a huge concern, but we do see some hope on the horizon as the vaccines have started to roll out,” Moller said. “We also know that as a result of the pandemic, many people are struggling, whether that's students, families dealing with distance learning, people who have lost their jobs and, of course, businesses. So, that's something that we're going to be having lots of discussions about, I'm sure, this session.”

Education emerged as another priority, especially as many students remain in distance learning.

Following an announcement by Gov. Tim Walz in December, school districts are allowed to reopen their elementary schools for full-time, inperson instruction as early as Jan. 19. However, distance learning will continue for middle and high school students for the time being.

“My focus is going to be working on E-12 education funding … and helping us address the inequities that we already knew were there but have been greatly exacerbated by the pandemic,” Isaacson said. “As a parent with kids that are distance learning, I can see the impact in the efforts that are being made. They're not able to have the full experience that we need them to have, and the learning is going to be difficult.”

District lines will be redrawn this year, as they are every 10 years following the federal census. In Minnesota, congressional and state legislative districts are drawn by the

state Legislature and subject to veto by the governor. During the town hall meeting, District 42 lawmakers expressed concern about a delay in census results, due in part to the pandemic and in part to federal pressure on the Census Bureau to shorten the census schedule.

“The goal and really what we are tasked to do by law is to put forward a map that is fair so that no voter, no matter where you live in Minnesota, is disenfranchised, where their vote does not carry the same amount of weight as somebody else based on how the district lines were drawn,” said Becker-Finn. “This is why the importance of doing the census accurately and on time is so important … It is tied to the weight of a person's vote.”

Indoor dining resumes as Walz loosens COVID-19 restrictions

BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR

After being closed since mid-November, bars and restaurants can now open for indoor service, as can movie theaters and other entertainment venues, following a loosening of COVID-19 restrictions by Gov. Tim Walz.

Walz announced the changes in a Jan. 6 press conference, and the new order took effect Monday, Jan. 11, after the previous executive order expired.

The new order allows bars and restaurants to open at 50% capacity with no more than six people to a table or parties of two at the bar. Reservations are required, and dine-in service must end by 10 p.m.

Indoor entertainment venues like movie theaters, bowling alleys and museums can open at 25%

capacity. Face masks are required, and food service must likewise end by 10 p.m.

Walz said that his decision to ease restrictions is primarily due to falling coronavirus cases in Minnesota and the rollout of vaccines statewide.

“The situation in Minnesota is undeniably better than it was last month,” he said. “We have reasons to be optimistic, and Minnesotans' sacrifice and commitment to their communities helped change the pandemic's trajectory and saved lives.”

However, Walz also insisted that “we can't let our guard down.” He urged the public to continue exercising caution and abiding by public health guidelines, especially mask wearing and social distancing.

“As we cautiously adjust the dials to help

Minnesotans return to important elements of their daily lives, we continue to monitor where we stand,” he said. “Two months ago, the pandemic quickly snowballed from manageable to out of control. For our students, our small businesses and public health, we cannot allow that to happen again.”

Walz said that the COVID-19 variant that experts believe makes the virus more contagious is not currently circulating in Minnesota.

“That is something that we're tracking. It will have an impact, but it will only have an impact if we allow it to get in,” he said. “One of the ways we don't allow it to get in: wear the mask, social distancing, wash your hands, stay home if you're sick, get a test.”

Wolf conservation continues to be a DNR priority of the success of wolf conservation in Minnesota and the fact that wolves and humans share the same landscape, there is also the potential for conflict,” Olfelt said.

“Management balances a robust wolf population with effective tools for addressing conflicts with livestock and pets.”

On Jan. 4, per existing state law, Minnesota will recognize two management zones. Zone A, the northeastern part of the state, has more protections for wolves, while Zone B, which represents the southern two-thirds of the state, has more flexibility for people to manage wolves to protect livestock and pets.

In the core range (Zone A), state law allows owners of livestock, guard animals or domestic animals to shoot or destroy wolves that pose an immediate threat to their animals, on property they own or lease, in accordance with local statutes.

“Immediate threat” means the owner observed a wolf in the act of stalking, attacking or killing livestock, a guard animal or a domestic pet under the supervision of the owner.

In all cases, a person shooting or destroying a wolf under these provisions must protect

all evidence and report the taking to a DNR conservation officer within 48 hours. The wolf carcass must be surrendered to the conservation officer.

In the southern twothirds of the state (Zone B), a person may shoot a wolf at any time to protect livestock, domestic animals or domestic pets on land they own, lease or manage. The “immediate threat” circumstance does not apply. The owner must notify a DNR conservation officer within 48 hours of taking the wolf and must surrender the wolf carcass to the conservation officer.

People in Zone B also may employ a state-certified wolf predator controller to

trap wolves on or within one mile of land they own, lease or manage.

State statute also allows harassment of wolves that are within 500 yards of people, buildings, livestock or domestic pets to discourage wolves from contacting people and domestic animals.

Wolves cannot be

attracted or searched out for purposes of harassment, and harassment cannot result in physical harm to the wolf (or wolves).

Similar to federal regulations, state statute allows anyone to take a wolf to defend human life.

Any wolves taken in the course of defending human life must be reported

to a DNR conservation officer within 48 hours, and evidence must be protected. These details are available online at www. dnr.state.mn.us/wolves/ index.html. To learn more about the ongoing wolf plan update process, visit dnr.state.mn.us/wolves/ wolf-plan.html.

Although federal Endangered Species Act protections for wolves end on Jan. 4, Minnesota laws have and will continue to protect wolves and ensure the responsible stewardship of this important wildlife species.

Minnesota has the largest wolf population in the lower 48 states and is home to an estimated 2,700 wolves across nearly 40,000 square miles of northern and central Minnesota.

Through the efforts of federal, state and tribal partners, the wolf population is well established in all parts of its suitable range.

“Our wolf population is a reflection of all the management efforts of federal, state and tribal partners, and includes a strong monitoring program here in Minnesota that enables us to make sound decisions,” said Dave Olfelt, Department of Natural Resources Fish and Wildlife Division director.

Olfelt said changes in the wolf’s legal status have occurred multiple times since 2007, but the future of Minnesota’s wolf population is secure and the DNR commitment to active and effective wolf management will continue. “Because

Light at the end of the tunnel

J

an. 21 marks one year since COVID-19 arrived in the United States, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced that the first case of the 2019 novel coronavirus had been confirmed in the state of Washington. Here in Minnesota, it was late February when concerns about the virus’s spread started to feel serious and mid-March we first went into lockdown. Then, I assumed, like many of us did, that it would only last a few weeks, maybe a month or so at the most. That assumption seems laughable now, but of course, hindsight is 20/20.

Fast forward to today, when almost a full year has passed, and our individual and Between collective lives have changed dramatically. COVID-19 has the Lines impacted nearly every aspect our world. Zoom is now Elizabeth Callen of a permanent fixture on my laptop. Laundering my face masks is a part of my weekly routine. I have not seen my family since last Christmas and just celebrated the holiday by FaceTiming them from my apartment rather than gathering with all of them at my parents’ home in Michigan.

The last year has proven to be extremely challenging for all of us, at least on some level, especially as the pandemic has dragged on and on with no clear end in sight. It feels especially cruel and ironic that in a crisis like this, when we need each other more than ever, the safest thing is to stay away from one another Finally, though, the end feels as if it might actually be near, or at least not so impossibly far off.

The first shipments of COVID-19 vaccines were sent out to states last month, and initial doses have already been given to healthcare workers and residents of long-term care facilities. My cousin, an ER nurse, received her vaccine last week and texted a selfie to our extended family group chat shortly after. I teared up as I looked at it, feeling overwhelmed both by the suffering the coronavirus has brought and the lives that a vaccine will save. After nearly a year of isolation and uncertainty, as the vaccine rolls out to more and more people, it feels like there is finally light at the end of the COVID-19 tunnel.

However, we are not there yet. Most of us will need to wait several months before we can expect to get vaccinated, and the next few months in the U.S. are set to be devastating.

Thousands of people are dying each week, and thousands more are getting sick with a terrible disease that takes a simple bodily function like breathing and turns it into a nearly insurmountable task. The devastation the virus has wrought has been immense. The consequences if we fail to get it under control will be even worse.

All things must pass, and I have hope that eventually the COVID-19 pandemic will too.

Surely, the vaccine will help bring about that long-awaited end, especially as more and more people get the opportunity to receive it. But in the meantime, we have to stay cautious, continuing to abide by public health guidance and take precautions to limit the virus’s spread, like hand washing, mask wearing and social distancing. There are brighter days ahead. Here’s to helping each other get there.

Preserve hospital beds by catching serious conditions early

ases of COVID-19 here in Minnesota remain high, as is the need for hospital beds, including Intensive Care Unit (ICU) beds for the most critical patients. With a predicted influx of COVID-19 cases from the holiday season, the situation could get worse. You can chart bed usage on the Department of Minnesota’s COVID-19 Response Page at: mn.gov/covid19/ data/responseprep/responsecapacity.jsp Last week on Movers & Jan. 4, the number of total ICU beds Shakers in Minnesota was noted as 1,212, with Kristi Trussell a total of 1080 of those beds in use.

It goes without saying that this is ih not the time to need intensive care.

Still, doctors at the Urgency Room’s three locations in Vadnais Heights, Woodbury and Eagan are continuing to see patients who are ignoring symptoms that signal emergency medical conditions like heart attacks, sepsis and appendicitis.

Now is the time to make sure persistent symptoms, pain or other health concerns of non COVID-19 related conditions are identified and treated right away so you don’t end up needing a hospital bed while

Shoreview man charged in shooting incident involving police squad, station

BY LEAD EDITOR SHANNON GRANHOLM

A 51-year-old man from Shoreview has been charged with five counts (four felonies and one gross misdemeanor) after he allegedly shot out the window of a squad vehicle parked at a police station.

The Anoka County Attorney's Office has charged Donald Raymond Guse with five counts, which include: drive-by shooting, reckless discharge of a fi rearm within a municipality, fleeing police in a motor vehicle, second-degree driving while impaired and fi rst-degree criminal damage to property.

According to the criminal complaint, at 7:09 p.m. Jan. 10, officers from the Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) were inside the station in Circle Pines when they heard what was thought to be a gunshot outside.

Officers went outside to check the area and observed that a bullet had been fi red into the driver's side window of one of the squad cars parked next

to the building.

The projectile that hit the window ricocheted from the squad car to the glass door of the building, causing it to shatter.

The criminal complaint states that officers went back inside to review surveillance video from the exterior of the building, which showed a white Chevrolet pickup stopping on North Road, and the occupant appearing to fi re a round at the building. A short Donald Raymond Guse time later, a pickup matching the description of the one on video was located nearby. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but it fled the scene. The complaint states the

officers quickly found the vehicle, which had turned onto a nearby drive. Guse was identified as the driver.

While officers were removing Guse from the vehicle, a spent shotgun shell fell out of the passenger side of the vehicle, according to the complaint.

Officers subsequently located a scoped shotgun in the backseat of the ANOKA COUNTY JAIL | SUBMITTED pickup. Per the complaint, officers noted that Guse smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes. Guse also failed several field sobriety tests and refused to take a breath test.

Guse was interviewed by police and ultimately admitted firing the gun at the squad car. According to the criminal complaint, he stated that he stopped his vehicle on the roadway, lined up the shot through the open passenger window, and fi red. He said he was trying to shoot the tire of the squad car. The motive of the shooting is still unclear.

Guse has a prior DWI conviction from March 2018 in Anoka County.

Guse appeared in Anoka County Distrit Court Jan. 12 and Judge Thomas Fitzpatrick set bail at $400,000 without conditions or $200,000 with conditions (no use/ possession of fi rearms and no use of mood-altering chemicals). Guse's next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 8.

The most serious charge, drive-by shooting, carries a maximum penalty of up to 10 years in prison and/or up to a $20,000 fi ne.

DNR unveils new pollinator license plate to help preserve critical habitat

Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Sarah Strommen unveiled the design of Minnesota’s newest critical habitat license plate Jan. 14, which features native pollinators including a bee and butterflies. The new license plate is available now online at https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/dvs/Pages/ vehicle-registration.aspx and at deputy registrar and driver’s license offices statewide.

“Many Minnesotans share a commitment to maintaining healthy populations of bees, butterflies and other native pollinators,” Strommen said. “This beautiful new critical habitat license plate is an opportunity to show your support for pollinators while providing important funding to preserve habitats.”

There is no need to wait for current license plate tabs to expire, as the license fee is prorated when a critical habitat license plate is purchased. The $30 annual contribution to the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Critical Habitat Program helps to preserve important wildlife habitat and plant communities such as wetlands, prairies, old growth forests and endangered orchid sites. Contributions over $30 go toward buying and managing important natural habitats, which are preserved as public lands. These lands are open to compatible public use, like hunting, hiking and wildlife watching.

The winning license plate design by artist Timothy Turenne depicts the monarch butterfly, Minnesota’s state butterfly and rusty patched bumble bee, recently designated as the state bee.

In addition to purchasing the new license plate, Minnesotans can take other steps to help pollinators: • Grow milkweed, the monarch host plant, and other native flowers to provide nectar resources.

• Provide open ground and unmown roadsides as appropriate.

• Reduce pesticide use.

The DNR supports native pollinators by restoring and managing the ecosystems and plant communities they rely on for food. For example, restoration and management activities on DNR-administered lands provide approximately 1.1 million acres of habitat in the northern conservation core for monarch butterflies. More information about Minnesota’s pollinators is available online at www.dnr. state.mn.us/pollinators/index.html. More information about Minnesota’s Critical Habitat License Plates is available online at dnr.state.mn.us/features/plates/index.html.

tell when you can’t see their facial expressions,” said Dave Leiser, basketball coach, about wearing masks in practice. “Communication is a problem too, when kids need to talk to each other on the court and when we (coaches) yell instructions from the bench. I think it will mean more

subbing, too (due to exhaustion).”

Wrestling being such a close contact sport, they must set practice and competition protocol, including intense daily cleaning, to ensure the safest environment possible.

Coach Dan Engebretson listed some of them: “We have to run two practices because of numbers allowed in the room. We are doing wellness checks and temps every day and recording. We

gave out laundry bags and extra practice gear so kids can wear clean stuff every day and transport it every day. We have dedicated pods at practice so we can contact-trace if needed. We are meeting at site, so no buses.”

Masks are off only during each wrestler’s match. Then they go back on.

The seasons are shorter by 30%.

For the love of white bears: Father/son team develop innovative polar bear trackers

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A prototype GPS transmitter is applied to a wild polar bear before it is released in Manitoba.

have it be less invasive,” Jon said.

“We’re not going to hurt the animal, inject anything, pierce them, or attach permanently to an ear. Some of the other methods are collars, big and bulky but they don’t work on male bears; everything slides right off. This is a unique platform in the wildlife community.”

Leading up to the field tests, development was somewhat hampered by the onset of Covid-19 and resulting health precautions. Jon did a lot of the work himself, unable to meet with other design specialists in person.

And the team at PBI worried that with travel restrictions, especially the remote communities nearest to polar bear habitat, they wouldn’t be able to begin the test at all.

“The bear world was largely unable to deploy transmitters this year; we couldn’t get people in helicopters and get into northern communities,” BJ said. But eventually, Geoff York, the senior director of conservation at PBI, was able to travel to Churchill and work with local partners to get the job done. Every year, some polar bears wander into the town of Churchill, located on Hudson Bay. These large predators can be dangerous to humans, so the town is put on lockdown, and if the bear doesn’t pass through, sometimes is tranquilized and held until it can be relocated. PBI used the opportunity to apply the transmitters to these bears before they were released, with the aid of instructional videos made by Jon. With luck, the prototypes will cling to the bear’s fur just like a burr or seed, withstanding the ice, snow and saltwater of the bear’s environment.

BJ and Jon hope the tag will stay attached to their fur for at least 270 days—the length of the transmitter’s battery life. When the bears molt for the summer months, the tags will drop off along with the extra fur.

Until the battery dies, all of the GPS data is transmitted to a satellite for researchers to follow the bear’s movements.

“They’re not having to wear it for the rest of their life,” Jon said.

With their longtime connection to the community of White Bear Lake, both Jon and BJ were amused by the coincidence that their work together has focused on protecting white bears. Jon grew up in Wausau, Wisconsin, and moved to White Bear Lake after receiving his degree in industrial design from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. He has worked as an advanced research specialist at 3M for nearly 40 years and has been a longtime member of the White Bear Yacht Club.

BJ grew up in White Bear Lake and graduated with the class of 2001.

Attracted to the mountain landscape,

When a full-size polar bear pelt arrived at the desk of White Bear Lake resident Jon Kirschhoffer, it drew a lot of curious looks. For Jon and the team at 3M, it was a chance to see exactly what they were working with.

The pelt was sent by his son BJ Kirschhoffer, to help with their latest collaborative project: designing a new kind of GPS transmitter that can stick to polar bear fur. BJ is the director of field operations at Polar Bears International, a Montana-based nonprofit focused on the science and conservation of polar bears. After attending a national polar bear conference, BJ and his colleagues at PBI were looking for a more efficient way to track polar bears. BJ instantly thought of his dad.

“He called me and said ‘Dad, you work for a company that makes things stick. Can you make this little radio tag stick to a bear?” Jon said.

As a research specialist at 3M, Jon brought the “Burr on Fur challenge” to a problem-solving organization within the company called Tech Forum.

“Tech Forum is a gathering place of all things science, where different disciplines come together and share ideas and the work they’re doing,” he explained. More than 70 people attended brainstorming sessions and heard presentations from BJ and his colleagues to learn more about bear research. “We turned all these technical folks loose on the idea,” Jon said.

The large group became a smaller core group, and the development process took about two years. In late November 2020, the four most promising prototypes were transported to Churchill, Manitoba with members of the PBI team, and installed on live polar bears.

Polar bears are one of the most wide-ranging and elusive large mammals in North America. They also happen to be one of the most threatened animals in the world, facing the rapid effects of climate change on their arctic habitat. There’s more need than ever to understand the biology and behaviors of these large predators, but until now, it has only been possible to track adult female bears. Since the heads of adult males are as wide as their necks, it’s easy for neck collar transmitters to slip off.

And young bears might outgrow their collars, potentially causing harm or at least irritation.

“Virtually everything we know about bears comes from females because those are the only bears we can collar safely,” BJ said. “We have a pretty good idea what they guys are up to, but these [transmitters] unlock the ability to track males as well as sub-adult bears.”

“One of our key goals was to not

he attended Montana State University and graduated with a B.A. in photography. A connection with a wildlife photographer enabled him to travel to Canada and see polar bears for the fi rst time, and he’s been traveling the world and working to help polar bears ever since. His dad’s predilection for design certainly came in handy—in remote arctic communities, he is often the one ready to address any technical issues that may crop up.

“To work on a project with my dad that has meaningful impact for a species is pretty neat,” BJ said. “Having a small nonprofit and a large corporation working together is kind of special. I knew how far I could push him.

And vice versa on my end. There’s some fun there.”

“It’s been a special time, and an honor to be able to work with him,” Jon said. “We talk almost every day. This is just the beginning. If we can make something stick to a polar bear, it can stick to just about anything.”

Jon is also thankful for the flexibility that 3M gives its employees, allowing them to pursue personal passions in their work life.

“This has really been a rare and wonderful opportunity for me that demonstrates the very best of 3M, in that we talk about applying science to life,” Jon said. “It’s important to allow people to explore their personal interests and give them time to do that. The byproduct is people who are really engaged in some cool ideas.”

If the transmitter prototypes fulfi ll their potential, they may be developed further, and have wide applications across the animal research field. At the end of 2020, Jon retired after nearly 40 years at 3M. “This is my graduation project, if you will,” he said. “I don’t refer to it as retirement, I refer to it as graduation because I know there’s more to come.”

MOUNDS VIEW SPORTS BRIEFS

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

MICHELLE KIM | SUBMITTED

Cole Sorenson launches a three-pointer that connected. The Mustangs were 12-for-19 from long range.

Mannix Morgan, one of Mounds View’s senior leaders, opened the season with two pins and a forfeit win to help the Mustangs triumph in three duals meets last week.

Morgan, who has 93 career wins, devotes himself to one sport. “Mannix is a hard worker, always working to better himself,” coach Daniel Engebretson said. “There is never any wasted or down time with him.”

Mannix is the son of Marty Morgan, an NCAA champion for the Gophers.

SUNRISE/SUNSET

The warmer temperatures have been nice but it would be even better if we could mix in a day or two of sun.

We haven’t had many days since the month opened up with five days of sun. It has been pretty cloudy since.

With the coldest temperatures since Christmas heading this way, we may get my wish and this weekend and experience some sunshine. Last weeks snowfall was wet and heavy. I totaled 3.5” with a hefty water content of .42”. The freezing temperatures did a number on the side roads, leaving them very icy.

Mounds View, red-hot from threepoint range, toppled Cretin-Derham Hall 64-51 in their opener Friday evening at home.

The victory snapped an 11-game losing streak against the perennial power dating back to 2014.

The Mustangs sank 12 of 10 from outside the arc, led by junior guard Kobe Kirk, who was 4-for-6 and totaled 20 points. Senior guards Cole Sorenson and Evan Kim were each 2-for-2 on three’s and tallied 14 and 10 points, respectively. Junior guard Dylan Wheeler was 2-for-5 and scored eight points.

“We moved the ball very well and made shots,” assessed Coach David Leiser. “Cole Sorensen controlled the game from his point guard position against one of the top players in the state, Tre Holloman. Kobe Kirk really stepped up for us and hit some big shots. Defensively, we held them to 39 percent shooting. It was a great overall team win for us.”

Holloman, a Division I prospect, netted 16 points and Jack Plium 15 for the Raiders.

Cretin-Derham Hall was ranked No. 12 and Mounds View No. 15 in preseason by Minnesota Basketball News.

Cause means the tenant or a member of the tenant÷s household materially violated a term of the lease or violated a provision of the City÷s Rental Housing Ordinance, City Code Section 8-331 Crime Free/Drug Free and Disorderly Use Lease Requirements.

Tenant protection period means the period that commences on the date when a real estate closing transfers ownership of an affordable housing building and runs through the end of the 3 calendar months following the month in which written notice of the transfer is sent to each affordable housing unit tenant pursuant to subpart (c) of this Section.

B. Purpose The purpose of this Section is to provide housing stability, protection and notiflcation to tenants in rental housing during an ownership transition. This Section requires notice to tenants and to the City whenever title to property containing three or more rental housing units is conveyed or otherwise transferred. Under the ordinance the owner would be required to pay resident relocation beneflts if they take certain actions during the three-month tenant notiflcation period and the resident needs to move as a result of that action.

C. Notice 1. Notice to tenants. Whenever title to property containing a housing building is conveyed or otherwise transferred, the new owner must within thirty (30) days after the real estate closing deliver written notice to each housing unit tenant of the housing building that the property is under new ownership. The notice must include, at a minimum, the following information: a) The name, mailing address, and telephone number of the new owner. b) The following statement: ”Shoreview City Code Section 614 provides for a three month tenant notiflcation period for housing unit tenants. Under this Section, a housing unit tenant may be entitled to relocation assistance from the new owner if, during the three month tenant notiflcation period, the new owner; i) terminates or does not renew the tenant÷s rental agreement without cause; ii) raises the rent and the tenant terminates his or her rental agreement due to the rent increase; iii) requires existing tenants to be rescreened or comply with new screening criteria and the owner or tenant terminates the tenant÷s lease; or iv) imposes a material change in the terms of the lease and the owner or tenant terminates or does not renew the tenant÷s lease.‘ c) Whether there will be any rent increase within the three month tenant notiflcation period and, if so, the amount of the rent increase and the date the rent increase will take effect. d) Whether the new owner will require existing housing unit tenants to be rescreened or comply with new screening criteria during the three month tenant notiflcation period and, if so, a copy of the applicable screening criteria. e) Whether the new owner will, without the tenant÷s consent, impose a material change in the terms of the lease during the three month tenant notiflcation period and, if so, the language of the material change and explanation of its effect. f) Whether the new owner will terminate or not renew rental agreements without cause during the three month tenant notiflcation period and, if so, notice to the affected housing unit tenants whose rental agreements will terminate and the date the rental agreements will terminate. g) Whether the new owner intends to increase rent, require existing tenants to be rescreened to determine compliance with existing or modifled residency screening criteria, terminate or not renew housing unit rental agreements, or impose a material change in the terms of the lease without cause within thirty (30) days immediately following the tenant notiflcation period. h) The date that the tenant notiflcation period will expire.

2. Notice to the city. The new owner must deliver a copy of the notice required by clause (C1) to the City Community Development Department at the same time that the notice is delivered to tenants.

3. Required tenant notiflcation period. The new owner of a housing building must not terminate or not renew a tenant÷s rental agreement without cause, raise rent, rescreen existing tenants, or impose a material change to the terms of the lease during the tenant notiflcation period without providing the notices required by clause (C) of this Section.

D. Relocation Assistance 1. When Required. A new owner of a housing building must pay relocation assistance to housing unit tenants if, during the three month tenant notiflcation period, the new owner: a) terminates or does not renew the tenant÷s rental agreement without cause; b) raises the rent and the tenant terminates his or her rental agreement due to the rent increase; c) requires existing tenants to be rescreened or comply with new screening criteria and the owner or tenant terminates the tenant÷s lease; or d) imposes a material change in the terms of the lease and the owner or tenant terminates or does not renew the tenant÷s lease.

2. Amount. Relocation assistance is an amount equal to three months of the current monthly lease rent.

3. When Paid. The new owner shall, when required, pay relocation assistance to the tenant of a housing unit within thirty (30) days after receiving tenant÷s written notice of termination of the lease or within thirty (30) days after the owner notifles the tenant that the lease will be terminated or not renewed.

E. Tenant Complaints 1. A tenant of a housing unit who believes the new owner has not provided the tenant the notiflcations required under this Section may submit a notice of violation to the City. The purpose of the notice is to inform the City of an alleged violation of this Section to assist the City in determining whether to impose an administrative penalty provided for in this Section. The City is not required to take any particular action in response to a notice of violation and any enforcement action it does take shall be on behalf of the City, not the tenant. Filing a notice of violation does not prohibit the tenant from pursuing any remedy available to the tenant under law.

F. Penalty 1. A violation of clauses (C) and/or (D) of this Section is an administrative offense that may be subject to an administrative citation and civil penalties as provided in City Code Section 203.090. Notwithstanding any provision of City Code Section 203.090 the penalty for a violation of clauses (C) and/or (D) shall be the sum of the applicable amount of relocation assistance plus $500.

2. A violation of this ordinance shall constitute a separate offense for each dwelling unit affected.

3. Within thirty (30) days after a person pays the penalty in clause (F1) to the City, the City shall pay to the displaced tenant of the housing unit in which the violation occurred an amount equal to the relocation assistance amount specifled in Section D. Effective Date. This ordinance shall become effective the day following its publication in the City÷s offlcial newspaper.

JIM RADFORD | SUBMITTED

Shoreview resident Jim Radford took the above photos of rime on trees near Snail Lake as people enjoyed the weather and scenery. Rime, Radford said, is different than hoar frost: “Rime (is) defined as a white incrustation of ice formed when supercooled water droplets freeze almost instantly on contact with a solid surface, and, of course, the water droplets came from the fog as the dew point dropped (last) week. We don’t get too many days like this.”
