SHOREVIEW — Following a longstanding tradition, Mayor Sandy Martin delivered the annual State of the City address at the Jan. 6 City Council meeting. The address, which is customarily given at the fi rst meeting of the year, focused on city accomplishments in 2019, as well as a look ahead to the new year and new decade. Martin praised the city for its commitment to civic improvements, pointing to high-profi le projects like the Sandy Martin expansion of the Shoreview Community Center, which was completed last year, and the renovation of Shoreview Commons Park, phase one of which is in progress. Such projects, Martin said, “will continue to enhance the quality of life for our residents and position us to continue to provide outstanding services and programs as we move into the 2020s.” When warmer weather arrives, Shoreview residents should plan for several road construction projects, in addition to the replacement of the Rice Street bridge over I-694, which is currently underway. Martin said that come spring, the city will reconstruct North Owasso Boulevard between Rice and Victoria Streets. “This project is much needed, due to the poor pavement condition,” she explained. Shoreview is also nearing the completion of its street reconstruction plan, which began in the 1980s. Over the next two years, the city will reconstruct streets in the Edgetown Acres neighborhoods in northwest Shoreview, after which “all city-owned streets will have concrete curb and gutter and modern drainage systems,” Martin said. Improvements to city parks are also in the works for 2020. Shoreview will update its park system plan, and examine demographic and recreation trends in order to develop a

Slick conditions made things hazardous for the volunteers who participated in the annual Christmas Bird Count on Dec. 28. “The people who were out, it shows their motivation level,” said Jim Howitz, coordinator of the Northeast Suburban Christmas Bird Count. The CBC is a tradition organized by the National Audubon Society, and goes back 120 years. It began when early conservationists proposed a less harmful alternative to the destructive “Christmas hunts” that were popular around the turn of the century. By counting birds instead of shooting them, citizen scientists across the country have collected a scientific record of bird behavior that reveals important long-term patterns in the natural world. Bird counts take place across the nation in December and January. The Northeast Suburban CBC, which includes portions of White Bear Lake, Hugo, Stillwater and Marine on St. Croix, always occurs on the final Saturday of December. For the past few years, the designated day has provided volunteers with a myriad of weather challenges. The freezing rain that started in the morning kept many of the volunteers indoors for the fi rst half of the day, and when temperatures warmed enough to melt the ice, not many birds were out and about in the weather. “Our count was significantly lower than we expected, in number of individuals,” Howitz said. “We just didn’t have the number of people in the field, and with the rain, the birds aren’t flying. Hawks, eagles, even stuff like crows; you’re just not going to see as many.” Only one red-tailed hawk was observed on the count: highly unusual, considering that you can find one perched along the metro freeways on almost any given day. “Freezing rain is the worst possible weather for lots of animals,” Howitz said. “It makes that layer of snow impenetrable. Predators can’t blast through it to get to mice and shrews underneath.” However, Howtiz said the lower numbers will not affect the longterm trends of data the CBC has collected for 120 years.

Skijoring combats the winter blues for people and pups BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Cabin fever strikes humans and canines alike in the dog days of winter, but the classic sport of skijoring is one way for Minnesotans and their furry friends to fight the winter blues together. Like a fusion between dogsledding and cross-country skiing, skijoring involves a partnership of dog and human, attached to each other by a tow line. Skijoring is an ancient activity, named from the Norwegian word for “ski driving.” This old-fashioned sport has been among the rise in Minnesota parks in the last few years. For Lino Lakes resident Kevin Murphy, it provides both a way to bond with his dog partner, and to appreciate the Minnesota winter landscape in a new way. He began skijoring more than 25 years ago, when the Twin Cities had few opportunities for people interested in the sport. Murphy and a few others banded together as The Midwest Skijorers Club in order to create partnerships with local parks and winter sports events. Breed isn’t important--almost any type of dog can be used in the sport, although larger, high-energy dogs such as huskies are usually the most adept. “Dogs naturally love to run, and you’re giving them an opportunity to do something they want to do every moment of every day,” Murphy said. “We’re always telling them heel, stay. In skijoring we say ‘let’s go,’ and off they go.” In addition to a well-trained dog and basic skiing ability, skijoring requires a few items of special equipment: a pulling harness for the dog, a comfortable skijor belt and a tug line in between. The Midwest Skijorers Club has grown phenomenally, and now hosts a five-part race series across the Midwest. However, not everyone skijors for the thrill of outracing the competitors. “One of the most important things is for people to figure out is, what is the skijoring experience they’re looking for? Some want to go whipping down the trail at 20 miles an hour; some, all they want to do is walk their dog on their skis. It has that range of capability. You don’t have to go flying down the trail,” Murphy said. This year, SkijorUSA organized a partnership with the Twin Cities Obedience Training Club. The

series of workshops, held in December, included a humans-only informational overview, and a handson workshop with dogs. The earliest part of starting to train a dog to skijor is trying on the belt and harness and seeing whether or not the skier and dog are working well as a team. “It’s kind of a checkpoint for the dog to make sure it has interest and capability before they make any kind of investment,” Murphy said. Alex McKinney, Washington County parks manager, knows the joys of skijoring fi rsthand. He picked up the sport when he worked for Three Rivers Park District. Working with Skijor USA

and other partners, he helped to organize the fi rst ever dryland skijor clinic in the county this past September. The event took place at Lake Elmo Park Reserve, and focused on skills that dogs and trainers could work on before snow season. Many skijorers practice commands with their dogs on their usual walks--skijor dogs are usually taught the same words as traditional sled dogs (“gee” means right; “haw” means left, and “whoa” means slow down). Some skijorers also keep in practice with canicross: running with a dog lead attached to the runner’s belt. McKinney hopes to host a dryland clinic at least once a year to help skijorers hone some of these off-season skills. “It’s a good opportunity for people to practice,” he said. “It’s one thing when you’re running behind a dog, and starting to learn commands. You don’t wanna just strap on skis and get behind your dog and go.” Now that the snowy season has arrived, there are ample opportunities to explore local parks via skijoring. All regional park trails marked multiuse are available for skijoring; Lake Elmo Park Reserve has the longest network of trails, but McKinney recommended St. Croix Bluffs and Pine Point Park as great places for beginners to try it out. Common courtesy is an essential part of the sport, he added. “Make sure your dog is trained enough that you have control over it,” he said. “And bring a poop bag.” If you’re looking for skijoring trails outside the northeast metro, Three Rivers Park District maintains skijoring trails at 6 different parks throughout the metro area. Visit www.threeriversparks. org/activity/skijoring-dog-sledding to learn more. A skijor group meets every Saturday at 8 a.m. at Theodore Wirth Regional Park in Minneapolis. Those who wish to join should let event organizers know by creating an account on MeetUp.com and signing up. This group learning environment can be beneficial to skijoring enthusiasts of all skill levels. “It’s so much easier for dogs to learn from other dogs and people to learn from other people,” Murphy said.

conceptual master plan for all parks. Some updates are already planned, such as replacing the playground equipment at Rice Creek Fields and Shamrock Park, and various trail extensions. Shoreview is in what Martin called “excellent fi nancial condition,” as evidenced by its AAA bond rating from Standard and Poor’s, the highest bond rating a city can receive. She cited the city’s long-term fi nancial planning and a strong regional economy as the major factors for its economic stability. Martin also said it is “gratifying” that Shoreview’s share of property taxes on

a median-value home is low compared to cities of comparable sizes; it recently ranked the fourth lowest of 29 cities with 20,000 and 50,000 residents. In 2019, city taxes on a home valued at Shoreview’s median of $303,800 were $969, about 25% below the average city property tax of $1,296. Shoreview remains committed to environmentalism, Martin said, as she highlighted several of the city’s sustainability efforts, such as the installation of a solar array on the city’s maintenance center roof and the WaterSmart program. Shoreview received the 2019 Sustainability Award from the League of Minnesota Cities for that program. Within the next year,

the city plans to install electric vehicle charging stations at the community center and continue its weekly recycling pickup, which began Dec. 30. In closing, Martin thanked council members, staff and residents for their commitment to making Shoreview “a better place to live, work and play.” “It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve as the mayor of our great city,” she said. “I look forward to continuing to work with our residents as we enter the 2020s.” Elizabeth Callen is the editor of the Shoreview Press.

Environmental, social justice in green economy

Fourth in a series

BY RITA ERICKSON SPECIAL TO THE PRESS

Poorer countries and the marginalized communities of wealthier nations are hit “fi rst and worst” by the harmful impacts of climate change. Further, these groups have the fewest resources for recovery and fortification for the future. In Minnesota, such marginalized groups include indigenous populations, communities of color and low-income neighborhoods. They are the most likely to live near polluting facilities and congested freeways (91% do) and to live without air conditioning in “urban heat islands.” Additionally, oil pipelines are regularly sited on or near indigenous lands, and Native communities often pay significantly more for energy than do their non-Native neighbors. At the Climate Reality Project training held in Minneapolis last summer, former Vice President Al Gore declared that “environmental and social justice must go hand in hand.” The goal is to build a green, sustainable economy while simultaneously redressing historic social and economic injustices. Minnesota has some of the largest racial disparity gaps in the nation in terms of income, employment, education and home ownership. The transition to a low-carbon economy offers a unique opportunity to address both climate change and such disparities. Curtailing emissions must be accompanied by moreequal access to, and benefits from, clean energy. Members of Minnesota’s Ojibwe bands and of the Twin Cities African-American community have pioneered initiatives toward both these goals. Minnesota Natives strive to protect the environment from encroaching pipelines and other sources of pollution while pursuing solar energy generation on their treaty lands. Bob Blake (Red Lake Band, Ojibwe) founded Solar Bear, an organization promoting solar gardens and offering training in solar technology. Blake believes that solar energy can catalyze economic development for tribal communities and alleviate problems like addiction by giving people “purpose in saving the Earth and protecting the sacred.” Solar Bear completed a solar array on Red Lake’s main government building and has plans for the tribal college and a housing project in South Min-

Get ready to vote Minnesota voters will have the opportunity to participate in a Presidential Nomination Primary March 3. This is Minnesota’s part in the national political party process of major political parties that are selecting their nominees for president. While Minnesota currently has four major parties, only the Democratic-Farmer-Labor and Republican parties have elected to participate in this year’s nomination primary. Those who wish to vote absentee may apply online to have a ballot sent to them after Jan. 17. The application is found on the Minnesota Secretary of State’s website at www.mnvotes.org. This site serves as a voter information portal and provides information on how and where to vote in any upcoming election. It is also where to update voter registration information such as address or name changes. These changes must be made before Feb. 11 to be pre-registered, or can be made on the day voters go to the polls.

neapolis. Blake envisions establishing a Red Lake microgrid and a tribal utilities commission. Dawn Goodwin (White Earth Band) works to protect Native lifeways at risk from long-distance tar sands oil pipelines like Enbridge’s Line 3. She cites specific concern about the threat to wild rice, considered by her people to be a sacred gift from God. Goodwin’s call to action for training participants? “Learn more about treaties and advocate that they be upheld.” In North Minneapolis, Jamez Staples founded Renewable Energy Partners, a solar installation and development company, which focuses on “creating opportunities for communities of color to participate in the renewable energy sector.” Staples also launched Northgate Development, a real estate development firm behind the creation of a training center for skills in sustainable careers such as solar installation, electrical microgrids, stormwater management and electric vehicle charging stations. Their neighborhood locations, readily accessible to local residents, will be critical to the success of these efforts, Staples noted. Mayor Melvin Carter reported that St. Paul has pledged to provide “new pathways for residents to enter into the emerging clean energy economy.” He cited one goal of the St. Paul Transportation Project that addresses both climate concerns and social equity: the building of 35 mobility hubs so that 90% of St. Paul residents will live within a 10-minute walk of various low-emission transportation options. Additionally, 13 miles of new bike lanes are to be built over the next two years. Similarly, Minneapolis’s Green Zones Initiative explicitly states that it will prioritize areas of higher poverty and pollution for funding and for employment opportunities for environmentally friendly developments such as solar gardens. The city plans to offer a subscription service for unlimited transit use, incentives for nontraditional users of low-carbon modes, and allotments for shared cars, bikes and scooters.

Where do I vote? Use the Secretary of State’s Polling Place Finder tool (pollfinder.sos.state.mn.us) to look up your Election Day polling place.

What’s on the ballot? Each major political party will have a separate ballot with its list of candidates for the office of President of the United States. Parties may also choose to have an “uncommitted” and/or write-in option available. Sample ballots will be posted in early January.

Can I vote early? Yes. Absentee voting began Jan. 17, 2020. Voters can apply to have a ballot mailed to them or can vote in person at the county or at their city hall.

What is the Presidential Nomination Primary Election? • Legislation was passed in 2016 to establish a presidential nomination primary to award delegates as part of each major political party’s presidential nomination process. • Only major political parties are eligible to participate in the presidential primary. Each party will have a separate ballot, and voters must indicate which party’s ballot they wish to receive and sign an oath affi rming, “I am in general agreement with the principles of the party for whose candidate I intend to vote.” • Your party selection is considered private data. However, each voter’s party selection is recorded and shared with the chairs of each major political party. • Precinct caucuses will still be held on Feb. 25 to develop policy positions to shape the party platform. More information on the presidential nomination primary is available online at sos. state.mn.us/elections-voting/how-electionswork/presidential-primary or lwvmn.org/ picking-the-president-part1.

A formal introduction

’ve heard it so many times from fellow reporters that it almost seems cliché at this point, but it’s true for me all the same: I’ve wanted to be a journalist for nearly as long as I can remember. Back in high school, I served as the news editor for my school’s monthly paper, but my fi rst gig in journalism (if you can call it that) came even earlier. Throughout third grade, I’d make a point of waking up early on Saturday mornings to type up reports on family happenings from the week prior, print out three copies—one for my parents and one for each of my sisters—and slip copies underneath their doors before Between bedroom they woke up. I called the the Lines paper the “Callen Family Inquirer” and, despite Elizabeth Callen the fact that none of my family members willingly subscribed, I charged them a quarter for each issue. My parents humored me by obliging, but my sisters never paid up. In retrospect, they were probably upset at the admittedly biased reporting, exemplified in articles like the one I wrote about them whining at having to complete their weekly chores (never mind that I always grumbled at the same myself). Thankfully, I’ve grown as a writer and reporter since those early days, especially throughout my time at Press Publications, where I’ve worked for the last year and a half. In this role, I’ve learned a great deal from my supervisors and co-workers, who have also become my mentors, as well as from the residents of the communities I’ve been lucky to cover. I can confidently say that the reporting here is of infinitely higher quality than the Callen Family Inquirer, and voluntary pay strikes me as much a fairer subscription model than my 8-year-old self’s demands for a quarter. I see journalism as a vital public service, and I strive to ensure that my reporting is accurate, fair and compassionate, whether it’s a story about the latest city council meeting or a local resident who has accomplished something amazing. However, no reporter can do their job alone—if you ask me, the key word in community journalism is community. So far, I have primarily covered the Forest Lake and St. Croix Valley communities for the Lowdown, but I’ve written the occasional regional story and a few columns, so readers of other papers may recognize my byline already. In any case, I am thrilled to now also be covering Shoreview. I know I have big shoes to fi ll, but I am eager to hear the stories and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. My introduction to the community so far has been warm and welcoming. Making connections with others is my favorite part of the job, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you feel inclined. I welcome any and all story ideas, photos and feedback. My inbox is always open, but even though I am a child of the digital age, e-mails and phone calls can’t compare to a face-to-face interaction. I hope to see you out and about soon! Elizabeth Callen can be reached at 651-407-1229 or shoreviewnews@presspubs.com.

ou’ve likely heard about the Trichloroethylene (TCE) emissions concerning the local business Water Gremlin.

While Water Gremlin had been using TCE legally Movers & to manufacture its (lead batShakers products tery terminals and Keely Cervantes lead ﬁshing sinkers), state regulators discovered the company was violating its state air emissions permit by venting TCE at high enough levels to threaten human health up to 1.5 miles around the facility in White Movers & Bear Lake TownThis violation Shakers ship. had been happening Nels Paulsen since at least 2009 due to a failing carbon absorber used to clean air emissions, and the long-term implications to human health are yet to be known in the surrounding communities.

It is imperative we as Minnesotans come together to protect our families, our neighbors, and our environment. At Conservation Minnesota, we are working with your elected officials to ban TCE in the 2020 legislative session and prioritize a safer future for Minnesota’s communities. The issue may have started in White Bear Lake, but pollution does not have borders and our air and water are affected every day by this chemical. It’s important to contact your legislators about this issue as the new year begins and we look forward to a successful 2020 legislative session. Help us protect the Minnesota we all love.

unfortunate events led to something remarkable at the state legislature in 2019—a bipartisan effort to ban TCE in Minnesota. During the 2019 state legislative session, both the Minnesota House and Senate voted to phase out and ban TCE (with some ﬂexibility built in for speciﬁc, carefully regulated uses). The efforts were led by Representative Amy Wazlawik (DFL-38B) and Senator Roger Chamberlain (R-SD 38), an important show of work across the aisle. Though the bills and the ban ultimately failed to make it through a conference committee at the end of the legislative session, a larger conversation of how to pass a statewide ban of TCE will likely be back on the table in the 2020 session. There are already safer alternatives to TCE, and Minnesota has the ability and the responsibility to act now — especially in light of what we’ve seen happen in the White Bear area. TCE continues to be used by manufacturers across Minnesota. In addition to air emission releases like the Water Gremlin problem, TCE can leak into groundwater supplies and a number of Minnesota communities have already been forced to take action to protect their drinking water. A bipartisan effort to ban TCE would continue to emphasize Minnesota’s commitment to getting harmful chemicals

With deadline approaching, Minnesotans ‘strongly encouraged’ to apply for REAL ID BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR

A standard Minnesota driver’s license will currently get you through the security checkpoint at the airport, but in less than nine months, it won’t. On Oct. 1, every U.S. citizen over 18 will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or another form of acceptable ID for federal purposes, like boarding domestic flights or entering federal facilities. With the deadline approaching, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services (DPS-DVS) is “strongly encouraging” state residents to apply for REAL ID now. According to a recent statement from the department, about 11% of driver’s license and ID card holders in Minnesota have REAL IDs—that figure is up 2% from November. Emma Corrie, DPSDVS director, called that “good progress,” but noted that there are many more Minnesotans who will need a REAL ID and do not yet have one. “Don’t wait,” she said. “If you want a REAL ID to fly later this year, apply for one now, and make sure you have everything you need before you visit an office.” Minnesotans currently have three options when obtaining or renewing a driver’s license: the standard license, REAL ID, or enhanced driver’s license. The differences can get

confusing, so below is a guide on determining which is right for you. What is a REAL ID? A REAL ID complies with the standards set by the REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005. Born out of a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission, the act establishes minimum security standards for how states issue driver’s licenses and ID cards. A standard Minnesota driver’s license is not compliant, but both REAL IDs and enhanced driver’s licenses/ID cards are. What’s the difference between a REAL ID and an enhanced driver’s license? Unlike REAL IDs, enhanced licenses are acceptable border crossing documents, meaning they can be used to travel to Mexico, Canada and some Caribbean countries by sea or land, but not on flights. They require additional documentation, such as proof of citizenship, proof of photographic identity and an interview questionnaire at the time of application. Neither a REAL ID or enhanced license can be used for international travel. Enhanced licenses cost $15 more than a REAL ID, which is the same as a standard driver’s license. Do I need a REAL ID if I already have a passport? No. A valid U.S. passport or passport card can be used

MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY DRIVER AND VEHICLE SERVICES | SUBMITTED

REAL - ID compliant licenses are marked by a star at the top of the card.

to board domestic flights and enter federal facilities, even after Oct. 1. What else qualifies as acceptable identification? The Department of Homeland Security has designated a number of acceptable forms of ID, including a valid U.S. passport or passport card, a trusted traveler card (e.g., Global Entry), a border crossing card, and a tribalissued photo ID. A complete list can be found at tsa.gov/ travel/security-screening/ identification

What documents do I need when applying for a REAL ID? Applicants must provide the following: • One document proving identity, date of birth and legal presence in the United States, such as a passport or birth certificate • One document proving a Social Security number • Two different documents proving current residency in Minnesota, such as an unexpired driver’s license or ID card, a canceled check or a bank statement Laminated documents and digital documents shown on

a phone or electronic device will not be accepted. How long will it take? As of Jan. 9, DVS is currently processing: • Standard license and ID card applications from Dec. 2 • Enhanced driver’s license and ID card applications from Nov. 12 • REAL-ID license and ID card applications from Nov. 15 For the most current processing times, visit dps. mn.gov/divisions/dvs/realid/Pages/license-id-cardprocessing-times.aspx

CHRISTMAS BIRD COUNT: Numbers down but long-term trends unaffected FROM PAGE 1

“The important thing is the long-term perspective,” Howitz said. “A bad year doesn’t pick up that; it picks up the bad weather. You feed that in as one of the factors that goes into the model.” Some counters stayed indoors to watch home feeders. Smaller birds such as sparrows, blue jays and cardinals showed up at plenty of home feeders in the count area. “Our species count wasn’t that bad, historically,” Howitz said. “We got 48 in one count day, so we weren’t that far behind (our typical numbers).” One group of volunteers went out at 1 a.m. to look exclusively for owls. They managed to fi nd four species, including the rarely seen long-earned owl. Uncommon sightings included two white-throated sparrows and four snow buntings. Howitz said it’s the fi rst time he’s seen a snow bunting on this count: these birds often spend winter further north. Observers in Stillwater were also treated to a sighting of a varied thrush, a bird of the western U.S. that occasionally shows up in Minnesota. Howitz managed to visit the public access area next to the Xcel Energy Allen S. King plant in Bayport. The power plant keeps that part of the St. JIM HOWITZ | SUBMITTED

Varied thrushes are not typical birds to find in Minnesota at this time of year, but it’s a special surprise when they do make an appearance. This photo was taken in Marine on St. Croix on a previous Christmas Bird Count.

Croix River open, attracting waterfowl and other birds. This has been a reliable place for the CBC to gather observations for years, but Howitz wonders how the future closure of the plant will affect the bird density and diversity in the area. “A lot of the open water in the state is going to disappear when fossil fuel plants close,” he said. Combined with the generally warmer winters, it’s difficult to predict how much it will affect the birds that choose to spend the winter in Minnesota instead of migrating south. The 2019 CBC observations were consistent with the trend of southern species such as turkeys and red-bellied woodpeckers moving northward in range. Northern species such as evening grosbeaks are appearing less and less frequently in this region, suggesting a link to changing climate conditions. As bird population trends continue to shift, neither ice nor snow will keep the CBC citizen scientists from their yearly mission. “None of our people were killed or injured, which is pretty good,” Howitz said.

Don and Bonnie say pretty much everything they want is in one monthly payment with Crest View. But that’s not the best part. “We just shut the door and go when we want to travel,” says Bonnie with a worry-free grin. “I’ve got nothing I have to do,” says Don as he recalls the endless chores of home ownership. “The underground parking is great!” “It’s month to month so if something changes family isn’t on the hook,” adds Bonnie. Both agree they love seeing kids visit and they love having seniors only living in the building. “It’s quiet,” says Don. Bonnie’s parents lived on the Crest View Columbia Heights campus in independent and assisted living. When Bonnie and Don learned a Crest View campus was going to be built in Blaine, they signed up two years in advance of opening day.

Becher new points leader in Mounds View girls basketball Lindsey Becher broke Mound View’s career scoring record Jan. 7 in a game where she led a stirring rally that fell short against White Bear Lake’s 43-41 at home. Becher, a 6-1 senior forward, sank 20 points that night and passed the Mustang record of 1,568 points held since 1996 by Jenny Cafferty. She has added 80 points in four games since then and now has 1,654. Heating up for 13 points in the second half, she led a rally from 10 points down to a tie score with a minute left. White Bear Lake guard Ella Janicki scored the game-winner with 2.3 seconds left and totaled 15 points. Ironically, Janicki’s mother, Stacy (Fields) Janicki, was Miss Basketball 1992 for Mounds View and held the record of 1,513 before Cafferty broke it. Mrs. Janicki attended and was among the fans giving Becher a standing ovation. Becher, who has signed with Concordia-St. Paul, passed a pair of Division I players as Cafferty

played for Rice and Fields for Notre Dame. When Becher swished a short jumper from the lane to break the record, the Mustang bench erupted in cheers, and teammates on the floor rushed to hug her and present her with a commemorative sign. “Lindsey is the type of kid that all coaches want to coach,” said Ashlie Anzel, Mustang coach. “It has been a privilege to not only coach her but to watch her game grow. “Lindsey has worked hard to extend her range to the three-point line and has the ability to guard players away from the basket as well as on the block. She is a tough match-up for many teams.” Subsequently, the Mustangs (5-12) lost to Stillwater 70-59, beat St. Paul Central 74-51, lost to East Ridge 6555 and beat Irondale 68-51. Becher is averaging 20.7 points. The nexthigh scorers are sophomore guard Maddie Hanson (7.1) and senior guard Katie Mamecke (5.2).

Mustang greats Landsberger, Kauls named to High School Basketball Hall of Fame BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mark Landsberger and his coach Ziggy Kauls won a state championship together in 1972 early in their distinguished careers. They will now enter the Minnesota High School Basketball Hall of Fame together. They are among 15 luminaries to be inducted Sunday, April 5, at the Marriott City Center Ballroom in downtown Minneapolis, with festivities starting 2:30 p.m. For ticket information, visit mnhsbasketballhall.com. This is the third induction class for the prep basketball HOF, which was created in 2018 and has a display near Target Center. It’s sponsored by the

Jack Link’s Beef Jerky Company. Landsberger led the Mustangs to the 1972 Class AA championship and a return trip in 1973. He averaged 27 points as a senior and capped his career with 1,290 points and 910 rebounds. The 6-8 forward averaged 14.4 rebounds one season at Arizona State, a skill that landed him in the NBA for seven years. Landsberger played for the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers (including championship seasons in 1980 and 1982) and Atlanta Hawks in the NBA. He amassed 2,468 points and 2,681 rebounds and had a 29-rebound game with the Bulls. Kauls coached two state championship teams with the Mustangs — 27 years apart, in 1972 and 1999 — while logging 12 state tournament trips and

12 conference titles over 45 years, retiring in 2012. The Forest Lake native ranks No. 3 all-time in wins, with a 739-358 record. He coached three Mr. Basketball award recipients (Steve Schlotthauer in 1986, Nick Horvath in 1999, Travis Busch in 2005). That award started three years after Landsberger graduated.

Pies with a purpose: Sara’s Tipsy Pies opens storefront in east metro BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR

For the last several years, Sara’s Tipsy Pies have been a staple at the Minnesota State Fair. Now that owner Sara Hayden has opened a retail storefront in Stillwater, locals need not travel far (or wait until August) to get their fi x of her handheld pies, which also come complete with a little boozy kick. Sara’s Tipsy Pies grew from Hayden’s lifelong love of baking, which she inherited from her mother, along with a secret pie crust recipe. At the encouragement of a friend, she made the leap from home baking to professional baking around 2012, fi rst baking in a community kitchen and later out of the basement of the Marine General Store. Her pies debuted at the Minnesota State Fair in 2015 and were immediately a hit; Hayden sold over 13,000 that fi rst year alone.

“I’ve always been really lucky with the mentors that I’ve had in my life and starting the company …. There’s always opportunities to give back and pay it forward.” Sara Hayden Owner of Sara’s Tipsy Pies

have Shelley’s baked goods and then we’ll have tipsy pies, both savory and sweet,” she said. “I think we all support each other well,” Hayden said of the partnership. “I’ve always been really lucky with the mentors that I’ve had in my life and starting the company …. There’s always opportunities to give back and pay it forward.” The desire to give back is at the heart of Sara’s Tipsy Pies, as Hayden donates a portion of the profits to the Down Syndrome Association of Minnesota, a cause near and dear to her, as her daughter Madi was born with Down syndrome. Hayden has big dreams for the future of her business, such as hosting baking classes and birthday parties, but for the next few weeks, she’s just trying to get through the rush of the holidays. Sara’s Tipsy Pies is open for walkin sales of frozen pies 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Monday through Wednesday and for pies, Willow Coffee and products from Silver Spoon Baker 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 7 a.m.-2 p.m. on weekends.

The new home of Sara’s Tipsy Pies rests on the corner of 4th Street and Churchill Street in Stillwater’s South Hill neighborhood. The move into the new space marks the fi rst time Hayden, who lives in Oak Park Heights with her husband, Chris, and their five children, has had a brick-and-mortar location to not only bake pies but also serve them. “This is a big step for us, because we never had a place that people (could) stop in and buy a ready-made pie,” she said. The space also includes a viewing window, so that customers can catch a glimpse of the pie-making in action. “I remember being a little girl and going over to Goggin’s (Candy), and you can watch the ladies dipping the candies into the chocolate,” Hayden said. “People always want to see us making pies … and a lot of pies aren’t handmade anymore; they’re made by machine. So, there’s that joy that we’re excited to share.” Joining Hayden in the new digs are Shelley Scholtes of Silver Spoon Baker and Vivian Gurdian of Willow Coffee, whose products will also be available for purchase. “Thursday through Sunday, we’ll have fresh coffee from Willow, we’ll
