Council remembers Terry Quigley BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

SHOREVIEW — When Mayor Sandy Martin announced the roll call at a recent City Council meeting, she noted all council members were present except Council Member Terry Quigley, who died five days earlier. “There’s an empty chair where Terry sat in for 21 years, and there’s a huge hole in our hearts,” she said. Martin said Quigley rarely missed a meeting during his 21 years on the City Council. “He was always enthusiastic and always prepared. He provided insight and thoughtful analysis on every issue before us,” Martin said. “We all knew that

Terry would not only study the information in his packet, but also dig into wider analysis and study from every source that he could find.” In addition to his role on the City Council, Quigley established a lifetime of giving back to the community. If there ever was a need to which he thought he could contribute, he volunteered. He served for a decade in the 1970s on the Planning Commission. “I was fortunate enough to benefit from his leadership,” Martin said. “I learned everything I needed to know about running a public hearing from Terry Quigley.” Martin said his leadership encapsulated these lessons: you study, listen, evaluate, explain and then make the best decision possible for the community. Quigley supported the business community with

‘Gateway Species’: Get to know your local squirrels BY CORINNE STREMMEL STAFF WRITER

When you look out in your backyard and spot the unmistakable bushy tail darting across the lawn, you may not realize it, but you’re getting a look at an important member of Minnesota’s ecology. Squirrels’ friendly dispositions offer more than just a chuckle for us backyard observers: watching squirrels is a helpful way to learn about our environment and instill an appreciation for nature. As Scott Noland of the Minnesota DNR explained, “They’re kind of a gateway species into the environmental world that people get to see pretty frequently.” Gray, red, fox, two species of flying squirrels and ground squirrels can be found yearround throughout the state. While gray squirrels are probably the ones you’ve seen digging up lawns and misappropriating birdseed, here’s a short guide to spotting each of the six different species found in Minnesota. The Eastern gray squirrel is the most common squirrel seen in the northeast metro. They’re known for their bushy tails, which are about 8 to 10 inches in length, or roughly the same length as their bodies. The gray squirrel can be spotted in hardwood forests, wooded parks and residential areas. Gray squirrels are some of the few animals that thrive in areas where houses break up natural woodlands. The flying squirrel is more elusive than the other species. This nocturnal squirrel can “fly,” thanks to a fold of skin spanning from its front to hind feet. When their legs are outstretched, their skin turns into a planing surface that allows them to take “flight” as far as 50 feet. There are two species of flying squirrel in Minnesota: the Southern flying squirrel and the Northern flying squirrel. They can be spotted by their brown bug-eyes, olive-brown backs and white bellies, and their silky soft fur. “We do get some calls about them in the northeast metro. People will call in and say they saw a flying squirrel, which is really cool. Some people might see them if they’re doing tree removal or they’re just seeing them during their dawn and dusk hours,” said Noland. The fox squirrel isn’t as common as the gray squirrel,

Flying squirrel

but they make themselves known by their large size. Fox squirrels can weigh up to 3 pounds and range from 20 to 24 inches in length. Their tails measure about 10 inches in length. Fox squirrels can be found in the northeast metro, but they’re most common in the western part of the state. The red squirrel — otherwise known as the pine squirrel — is Minnesota’s noisiest species of squirrel. These squirrels have a tendency to chatter while humans are nearby. They have a rust-red back and tail and a white belly. The name “pine squirrel” comes from their habitat of coniferous woods throughout the nation’s snowbelt and into the mountainous regions of Canada. The 13-lined ground squirrel is commonly known as the Minnesota gopher. These ground squirrels can be spotted skittering across the state’s grasslands and have taken over agricultural lands as well. The eponymous squirrel has exactly 13 stripes on its back and has golden fur, just like its famous namesake, the University of Minnesota’s mascot, Goldy Gopher. These six species have a number of ways to make it through the harsh Minnesota winter. To preserve energy, they limit their time of activity in the winter. They don’t hibernate like other animals, but they tend to stay within the confines of their nest when the temperatures drop. “During the really cold times, they’ll stay up in their nest with other squirrels so they have additional body heat,” Noland said. Like humans, squirrels will shiver

when they’re cold. Their layer of thick fur also helps them stay warm in extremely low temperatures. In autumn, squirrels begin building up their fat reserves and collecting and storing their food for the winter in tree cavities. Noland explains that to humans, it might feel like squirrels don’t have enough food to survive the winter. “We tell folks there is plenty of food for them in the natural environment for these critters to live here. That’s how they’ve been able to survive.” Backyard feeding has led to an abundance of squirrels in the metro, but Noland recommends keeping wildlife wild. However, if you do have the urge to feed your backyard residents, it is best to research your city’s ordinances before Eastern gray squirrel feeding. Squirrels remain prolific in the northeast metro and, unlike other wildlife in Minnesota,there haven’t been any disease-related incidences in the squirrel population. Since squirrels thrive in urban and suburban environments, there are plenty of opportunities for humans to learn more about their fellow Minnesota residents. “It’s a way that people are learning about them and instilling a kind of value and land ethic and concern, plus an interest in wildlife too,” Noland noted. “And of course, they’re pretty fun and comical too.” Staff Writer Corinne Stremmel can be reached at lowdownnews@presspubs. com or 651-407-1226.

Kidney disease: ‘There is no answer’ After losing two of his brothers to kidney disease, Ramesh Gupta is now fighting to prolong his life after being diagnosed with stage 5 kidney disease. Ramesh, of North Oaks, found out last April that he needs a kidney transplant from a living donor. “I went to the Transplant Center at the University of Minnesota Medical Center and they said they would not put me on a waiting list. But since I was in good health, I could get a live kidney,” Ramesh said. “The doctors knew my numbers were going down and I was told there is no medicine to stop it, but I’ve been taking blood pressure medication for 15 years. I don’t know if the blood pressure medication killed the kidney or if the kidney killed the blood pressure.” The doctors also warned Ramesh of getting diabetes, which he said he doesn’t have. Ramesh made some serious lifestyle changes and for the past eight months has changed his diet drastically to avoid going on dialysis. “I have to eat minimum protein in my diet and watch my blood pressure. To control that, I have to absolutely minimize salt intake,” Ramesh said. “Potassium is also bad

for your kidneys, and I have to find a balanced diet to survive.” Ramesh’s wife of nearly 51 years, Shashi, said the toughest part of Ramesh’s diet is finding food for him to eat because so many foods have so much potassium. “There’s very little food choices, and he’s a very disciplined man and has a lot of willpower,” Shashi said. “I try and do the best that I can, and we’re dealing with it the best that we can.” Ramesh said he has not gone completely vegan. He enjoys two egg whites every day. He also eats a lot of raw fruits and vegetables. Ramesh does yoga three times a week and pilates once a week. “It’s done a lot for me, and my back problems are gone,” he said. He also goes to Lifetime Fitness to exercise, which he said he has been doing for years. If Ramesh does not get a kidney transplant soon, he will have to go on dialysis to stay alive. “I am trying to delay dialysis as much as possible,” Ramesh said. “If I do have to go on dialysis, I won’t go to a center. I will do peritoneal dialysis, which I can do at home.” Ramesh explained that peritoneal dialysis is when cleansing fluid is put into your abdomen through a

catheter, pulling out waste and cleaning the blood in the process. “I’ve done a lot of research on this, and there are two ways you can do peritoneal dialysis. You can be hooked to the machine all night or you can do it during the daytime three times a day, and no machine is required,” he said. “You hang the bag above your stomach cavity like an IV for about 45 minutes (and) three times a day you will drain and clean it.” Ramesh would like to start a support group for people living with kidney disease where they can share information and knowledge. “Maybe other people have gathered research to share, and I can share with them what my research has shown and we can compare notes,” he said. Shashi said she would also like to see a support group where people can help uplift each other while going through this scary and trying time. “It’s good to have company, and you need to talk to people either on the phone or in person because people on dialysis are so isolated,” she said. Ramesh and Shashi built their home in North Oaks in 1989 and have lived there ever since. Both are retired and have two children—a son, Ritesh, and a daughter, Rashmi.

Ramesh said his daughter Rashmi moved back to Minnesota from New York with her son, Riaan. “My biggest passion now is to play with my grandson,” Ramesh said. “He’s a very cute baby and needs my attention all the time; my daughter and him moved in and he took over one of our spare bedrooms.” Ramesh worked as a mechanical engineer at 3M for 25 years and at Medtronic for 12 years. He enjoys golfing, exercising and spending his time with his grandson. Ramesh said what he likes best about living in North

Oaks is it’s quiet, free of the nonsense of the city. He said every home is unique. In two months, Ramesh will be seeing his nephrologist for blood tests and to find out how much kidney function is left. “The saddest part about this (kidney disease) is there is no answer,” Ramesh said. “The hardest part of living with this is the uncertainty, and you don’t know when it will fall upon you.” Staff Writer Noelle Olson can be reached by emailing shoreviewnews@presspubs.com or calling 651-407-1229.

Public notices are vital

n 1789, the Acts of the First Session of the U.S. Congress required all bills orders, resolutions and congressional votes be published in at least three publicly available newspapers. The purpose of public notice is to display information in places where the public is likely to see it or “take notice.” Transparency is crucial for our school boards, city and township councils and county boards. In the past 50-plus years our family has owned and operated local papers serving Ramsey, Washington and Anoka counties, our reporters have written tens of thousands of stories people rely on and take notice. Community newspapers have held public schools and local governments accountable for more than 200 years. This does not mean elected officials are up to no good. The majority are in it for the right reasons. They work hard to serve our communities and they are transparent with their decision-making, but there still needs to be an element of accountability. Cities and schools are often the largest employers and operate huge taxpayer Publisher’s budgets. Elected board members and council members have a lot of control. View There are times they need to answer questions from a journalist about variCarter ous issues. They also need to know their Johnson local paper is watching. Members of the public, most who can’t possibly attend all local government meetings, rely on the newspaper to watch and ask questions. The public can also ask questions, debate issues, and promote dialogue about important local topics through letters to the editor. Each year people question why the newspaper should have the responsibility of publishing legal notices. It’s the law for local governments and schools to notify the public. Putting information on the internet is not a notification, because the internet is intent driven. If you don’t know the city is going to buy land, widen or open a road, change a law or take your land, then you don’t have a reason to search the internet. We recently reported two members of a local city council would like to eliminate the checks and balances provided by public notices. I suppose the result of no public notices is it would be easier for local officials to pass new ordinances or motions with little objection from the public, because the public wouldn’t know. In the state of Minnesota, newspapers are required to bid legal notices. The public notice rates are low and a small part of the revenue of our newspaper. Public notices are a very small budget item for local governments, as well. Our readers need to know removing public notices from the newspaper, which some council members are advocating for, would not provide any significant savings but would allow city hall to operate without checks and balances and public transparency. Additionally, cities covered by a legal newspaper typically have better bond ratings – or borrowing costs – better than those without a partner holding them accountable. Allowing a city to produce its own public notices and put them up on its website, as some are advocating, is like the old adage of “the fox guarding the hen house.” We all know the internet is not a safe and stable place for legal notices. We’ve all experienced a website 404 error or clicked on a link or agenda only to find a broken link. Or, even worse, when a city official changed the information online without telling anyone. Additionally, when a public meeting is broadcast live via a cable station or online, those watching may not get the full scope of the meeting. Often conversations happen before and after the meetings, which can violate open meeting laws. All of our staff have witnessed firsthand violations of open meeting laws, and in some cases have called out groups and even taken them to court. In many meetings, journalists are often the only consistent outside person there. If you eliminate the requirement for public notices you eliminate the checks and balances our Founding Fathers knew is needed. Let’s keep encouraging transparency like our Founding Fathers had designed it, and keep public notices public and published in an audited and legal community newspaper.

Winter driving: Leave sooner, drive slower, live longer

hile driving to work the other day, I counted six vehicles that were in the ditch off of Highway 35. I even saw an Ice Castle (fish house) lying on its side in the ditch like it fell off a trailer hitch but there was no vehicle there. Not really sure what happened there but you don’t see that very often. One of the cars just happened to be one that passed me going about 80 mph and I saw him swerve into the snowy Noelle’s ditch. It wasn’t snowing but Notes the roads were not great and Noelle Olson there had been snow the night before. When I passed him, I saw that he was on his phone—probably calling a tow truck to get him out. No matter what, he was going to be late for whatever he was racing to. If he would have driven the speed limit instead of weaving in and out of lanes like a race car driver, he wouldn’t have gotten into that predicament. According to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, while summer months are the

deadliest on Minnesota roads, wintertime leads to the most crashes and poses safety risks and hazards. From 2016 to 2020, officers reported snowy or icy road conditions in more than 79,165 crashes. These crashes resulted in 181 traffic deaths and 19,218 injuries. I’m always reminding my kids to “winterize” their cars and when I went out to lunch with my daughter recently, she wanted to know where my winter survival kit was. Frankly, I wasn’t prepared for the question and my answer was, “I haven’t gotten around to it yet.” It’s never fun when your kids call you out when you don’t practice what you preach. So, I got my winter kit together which includes, jumper cables (which were in my truck), a scraper, flashlights, extra hats, mittens, scarves, extra warm clothing, winter boots, windshield wiper fluid and a heavy blanket. However, I don’t have a tow chain, shovel, bag of sand or cat litter for tire traction as recommended by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety. It reminds me of one Christmas when I told my daughter to grab a blanket for her car because the roads

were not the best. I told her she should always keep a blanket in her car in the wintertime in case her car breaks down or she slides into the ditch. I grabbed one of my cozy blankets and threw it in the back seat of her car. Good thing I did because on the way home from my parents house that night, her car started shutting down and I had to pull over into a deserted parking lot. We had to wait for my son to come get us, which took him about 45 minutes. Since the car heater wasn’t working, that blanket was a life saver. We would have been super cold if we didn’t have that blanket and my daughter still keeps it in her car to this day. When the weather person tells you to avoid travel because of winter weather conditions, just stay home if you can. If you absolutely have to drive, give yourself plenty of time and drive according to the road conditions. And for goodness sake … please be aware of your surroundings and slow down. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Staff Writer Noelle Olson can be reached by emailing shoreviewnews@presspubs.com or calling 651-407-1229.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

OBITUARY

Amid increased vocalization by the public against COVID-19 mandates and questionable curriculum, the Mounds View School Board has modified its open forum to the public. Public comments are now heard outside the board chambers prior to the official meeting. Board members stated that this new venue will allow board members to interact with the public in more of a round-table setting. True to their stated intentions, on Jan. 25 Superintendent Lennox interacted with a handful of parents who had attended, but not spoken, at the open forum. One mother relayed an incident in which children were shamed by staff for being white, and another bemoaned the choice of English literature, which promoted a narrative and normalized unacceptable behavior. Are these isolated incidents, or is there systemic change in our district? Mounds View School District has a long history of excellence and there are many, many caring and dedicated teachers on staff. We are so very thankful for all they do for our children, especially during these last two years. But we MUST protect that which we value and to that end, AWARENESS and ADVOCACY walk hand in hand. Some are undecided as to whether the board is truly reaching out to the community or if they are trying to muzzle dissenters. As a result of being heard prior to the board meeting, the open forum will not be available for viewing on the Mounds View website, nor will comments be included in the Shoreview Press coverage of board minutes. This is contrary to the district’s values: No. 5, We believe in community awareness. Our sincere thanks to the Shoreview Press, which will be covering the open forum separately. Thank you for protecting our right to free speech! Christine LaDuke Shoreview

George K. Brushaber President Emeritus Bethel University Long-time North Oaks resident George K. Brushaber, who led Bethel University from 1982 to 2008, has died at the age of 82. As Bethel’s fourth president, Brushaber was best known for his visionary leadership and firm grasp of Christian liberal arts. He successfully steered the institution through economic and enrollment challenges, tripling the student body and adding 19 new buildings to the campus—one for every 18 months of his tenure. A nationally recognized and respected evangelical leader, Brushaber recruited top-tier faculty and increased the number of academic offerings from 57 to 141. He oversaw the addition of adult degree completion programs, graduate programs, and the country’s first online seminary degree programs, eventually presiding over Bethel College & Seminary’s transition to a university in 2004. Under Brushaber’s leadership, Bethel grew in academic visibility and reputation from a regional to a national school of choice for Christian students. “George Brushaber was highly conversant in many fields—science, history, literature, journalism, philosophy, theology, sports, music, and architecture,” says Dwaine Lind, former executive assistant to the president. “This gave him great credibility as he personally interviewed every full-time faculty candidate and encouraged unprecedented curricular and program development and growth.” Brushaber also provided critical fundraising leadership in support of both capital and operating goals. Under his direction, the operating budget increased from $17 million to $90 million, the annual fund increased from $3.5 to $10 million, and a $105 million comprehensive campaign was completed. “George Brushaber’s contributions to Bethel are

legendary, but among the most significant was his unwavering commitment to the mission and the preservation of Bethel’s core values,” says Bethel trustee board chair, Collin Barr. “He worked tirelessly to ensure that Bethel’s biblical values were operative and that the impact of the university’s graduates would be felt worldwide.” Brushaber thrived on literary work throughout his presidency, serving in various editorial roles with Christianity Today and Christian University Press and as founding editor and chair of trustees for Christian Scholar’s Review. His work in Christian publishing and active participation in many other national organizations—such as the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities and National Association of Evangelicals—proved highly valuable to him as president. In addition to enhancing Bethel’s reputation, he gained a national voice that put him in regular contact with other Christian leaders worldwide. These important connections allowed him to recruit many influential leaders to seek election to Bethel’s Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors for the Bethel Foundation, building a quality governance team from across many professions nationwide. Brushaber was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He attended Wheaton College, where he received both his B.A. and M.A. in philosophy and theology. He received a Master of Divinity degree from Gordon Divinity School and a Ph.D. in epistemology and metaphysics from Boston University. He served on the faculty at Gordon College, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, and he was vice president and academic dean at Westmont College before completing the rest of his career at Bethel. He is survived by Darleen (Dugar) Brushaber, his high school sweetheart and wife of 59 years; daughter Deanna (Tod Dalberg); son Donald (Amy Larson); and grandchildren Brittan, Taite, and Dane Dalberg as well as Kaia and Kettly Brushaber.

2022 LEGISLATIVE PREVIEW: Elected o˜ cials share goals and priorities FROM PAGE 1

Rep. Donald Raleigh (District 38A, R) Phone: 651-775-1687 Email: donald@ donaldraleigh.com Each year, around this time, politicians are asked to share what their priorities will be for the coming year. They are asked what legislation they want to champion or what wrong do they want to make right. Social Rep. Donald Raleigh media and the constant barrage of headlines have set a harsh tone here in Minnesota, and across the country. But, I want to assure you, we live in an amazing state, with awesome people, and every day we are surrounded by miracles. Yes, there are issues we need to address, but not everything is a crisis. If you listen to the headlines, or follow the Twitterverse, or turn on your television you will miss the real picture, what is actually going on. We live in the most amazing time in history. We have the ability to travel anywhere on the entire planet. We have the sum of all human knowledge at our fingertips on the internet. What was a science fiction fantasy just 50 years ago is now commonplace. Over the next few months there will be headlines, and tweets, and posts and talking heads, trying to outrage you and influence you to believe that we are beyond hope. That is a lie. We live in a time and place where anything is possible. We just have to stop being outraged at everything and start believing in ourselves again. We built this state and this country. It was us. And we can do even better if we choose to. In the House of Representatives, I will be working toward helping our communities with water and sewer infrastructure projects. When you turn on your faucet, it should be safe and clean. I want the same thing to be true when you walk in our parks and in our neighborhoods. I also plan to work hard on providing tax relief for Minnesotans who are overtaxed as evidenced by the state’s historic budget surplus. Let’s stop all the outrage at everything and get back to providing safety, security and confidence in our communities. Together, we can build the next generation of miracles. I believe in us, let’s get to work.

Rep. Ami Wazlawik (District 38B, DFL)

Phone: 651-296-3018 Email: rep.ami. wazlawik@house.mn Given the many challenges we’ve faced over the past two years, one of my top priorities remains helping Minnesotans get through the pandemic. We need to make sure all Minnesotans, but especially Rep. Ami Walzawik students, workers and small businesses, have the tools they need to recover and rebuild. With a projected positive budget balance of $7.7 billion, we have the resources to make a difference in peoples’ lives. I’ll keep fighting for investments in our youngest Minnesotans. Ensuring families can access affordable child care and early learning opportunities will have a big impact on the next generation and will help our community and state thrive. I’ll advocate for expanding access to paid family and medical leave as well. Minnesotans should be able to welcome a new baby, care for their children, or help aging parents without risking economic instability. Ensuring that residents are safe in their communities will continue to be a priority. I’ll work with my colleagues to help provide communities with effective tools to reduce crime and to ensure that we’re holding those who commit crimes accountable for their actions. As vice chair of the Environment and Natural Resources Committee, I’ll continue my work to protect Minnesotans and our environment from toxic chemicals, ensuring that current and future generations have clean air and safe drinking water. Last, but not least, we hope to pass a strong bonding bill that will create good-paying jobs and help repair and improve our roads, bridges, public safety facilities and more. I’ll advocate for investments in critical infrastructure projects and

important resources like parks and trails, colleges and universities and community centers. The projects in our area will be a top priority of mine. I’m eager to hear your thoughts, ideas and feedback as I prepare for the 2022 legislative session. Please feel free to contact me by email or phone (listed above).

Sen.Roger Chamberlain (District 38, R) Phone: 651-296-1253 Email: Sen.Roger. Chamberlain@senate.mn

I have three top priorities: education, public safety and cost of living. In addition, we need to better support our most vulnerable citizens in long-term care and group homes.

Empowering Parents, Going Back to Fundamentals in Education

Parents are a child’s Sen. Roger Chamberlain fi rst and most important teacher. They must be included in curriculum decisions and have the freedom to choose the best school for their child. • Too many children are not reading at grade level. That’s a failure, and correcting it must be our top priority. I will propose increasing and expanding the proven, successful LETRS training program that has improved literacy here and in other states. • Supporting and empowering parents and educators. We will offer proposals to increase education transparency and protect parents’ rights, remove unnecessary burdens placed on teachers and allow for more innovation and flexibility.

Addressing Rising Crime Rates and Keeping Minnesotans Safe

Every Minnesotan deserves a safe community to call home. Victims of crime deserve to know law enforcement and prosecutors will hold criminals accountable: • We will improve efforts to recruit and retain police. That starts with strong support for law enforcement. Local leaders play a critical role in this too — criminals are emboldened by a lack of police support and anti-police rhetoric. • Criminals are also emboldened when prosecutors let them off with a slap on the wrist. We will work to rein in prosecutors who ignore the law and let criminals back on the street. • We will continue to strengthen penalties against criminals, so Minnesotans can feel confident and safe in their homes and at their workplaces.

Helping Minnesotans With the Impact of Historic Inﬂation

Working Minnesotans are struggling with the costs of daily life in the face of record inflation, supply chain issues and economic uncertainty. • I will hold the line on wasteful, unnecessary spending increases. • Tax increases are off the table, including the regressive gas tax. • I will push for broad, signiﬁcant tax relief that puts money back in your pocket, including eliminating the tax on Social Security income. • I will support policies for reliable and affordable energy across the state.

Rep. Kelly Moller (District 42A, DFL)

Phone: 651-296-0141 Email: rep.kelly.moller@ house.mn Minnesotans have persevered through a great deal of adversity over the past two years. While our state is experiencing economic recovery, the challenges related to the pandemic continue. This session, I’ll be committed to ensuring students, Rep. Kelly Moller workers, families and small businesses can turn the corner. With a $7.7 billion positive budget balance, we have the opportunity to make a big difference in people’s lives. Ensuring people can be safe in their communities will once again be a priority, and I’ll work to give communities, police officers and prosecutors the tools they need to reduce crime. The gun violence epidemic, in particular, requires our attention, and I’ll continue to advocate for my Extreme Risk Protection Order legislation, which would allow court orders to temporarily restrict access to firearms for someone who is proven to be a danger to themselves or others.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been hard on all of us, and many of our students are still struggling with mental health concerns. We all need to work together to ensure young people are supported at home as well as at school. While we need to continue funding for school-linked mental health services, I’ll renew my push for a mental health specialist position at the Minnesota Department of Education. This position would serve as a resource for schools across the state to develop and share resources, tools and best practices and implement a comprehensive, evidencebased approach to suicide prevention. I’m also hopeful we can deliver a robust package of capital investments in public infrastructure across the state. Locally, I’ll be advocating for improvements to trails around Mounds View High School in Arden Hills Late last year, lawmakers visited the site and heard from many students about how dangerous the area is for walkers and bikers. I’ll also be working alongside local leaders in Shoreview, Arden Hills, and North Oaks to deliver funding for a new Lake Johanna Fire Department Headquarters. The new facility will strengthen the department’s emergency fi re and medical response and provide enhanced health and safety spaces for the fi refighters.

Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn (District 42B, DFL)

Phone: 651-296-7153 Email: Rep.Jamie.Becker-Finn@house.mn My top priority this legislative session will be doing all I can to make sure everyone in our community is healthy and safe. First, we need to address the ongoing pandemic and the crisis it has caused in our health care system, as well as with our schools and child care providers. My decisions as a legislator on how to best support those most affected by the Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn pandemic will continue to be driven by conversations with those most impacted in our community, like our frontline workers, families and seniors. In regards to frontline workers specifically, what I’ve been hearing is that these workers need financial support, and for us to all take steps to slow down this pandemic by getting vaccinated (including boosters!) and wearing masks when around people outside our households. Second, I am taking steps to make sure that everyone in our community is safe. These steps include authoring legislation to address gun violence with a focus on making sure that we keep guns out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them, including children. I will also seek out and support increased investments in community violence prevention efforts and youth intervention tools. In addition, I will continue to support local governments and law enforcement with the tools they need, like my bill to allow cities to crack down on hotel properties that allow criminal activity to thrive. Finally, I will continue to work with my colleagues to address the mental health needs of people in our state. The stress and trauma of the last two years has exacerbated problems in an already barely functioning mental health “system.” Now is the time to finally address these needs, to increase access to this necessary health care and take better care of our friends and neighbors.

Sen. Chuck Wiger (District 43, DFL)

Phone: 651-770-0283 (call or text) Email: Sen.Chuck.Wiger@ senate.mn 1. COVID-19: combat and recover Safety and keeping the state open are my priority. We should: • Work with public health and the private sector • Provide objective, reliable information Sen. Chuck Wiger • Funding for vaccines, testing, personal protection, economic recovery and mental health services. Ongoing efforts by frontline workers are deeply appreciated, but we need bipartisan agreement regarding their bonus pay. 2. Education: stabilize funding, reduce mandates The challenges facing our students, families, teachers and staff have grown. We must stabilize funding, increase mental health support, reduce mandates and increase staff diversity. Focus on

recovery, respecting one another and civility. Remember, students are our future. 3. Bonding/infrastructure: clean water, higher

education, housing, highways, public safety

We need a bonding bill addressing the great needs in our communities and state. As a member of the Senate Capital Investment Committee, my priority is clean water projects, higher education, housing, highways and public safety. Local proposals I will author include the White Bear Lake public safety building, facility maintenance funding for Century College, the Birchwood lift station for waste water processing and more. Additional money is available thanks to the recent federal infrastructure bill.

4. Public Safety: support bipartisan e˜ orts to improve safety

Public safety is on the minds of many, and people need to feel safe. Governor Walz recently appointed a bipartisan group to help address this. I look forward to hearing recommendations from the Governor’s Council on Justice Reinvestment that we can enact this year.

5. Eliminate racism: work together

As our communities, state and nation grow in diversity, it’s imperative that government, the private sector, all of us, work together to eliminate all forms of racism.

6. Social Security: eliminate state tax

I continue to support removing the state income tax from Social Security income. Seniors worked very hard, and deserve the exemption as provided by most states. My upcoming committee assignments include: E-12 Finance and Policy (Ranking Member/Minority Lead), Local Government, Veterans & Military Affairs, and the Capital Investment Committee; Subcommittee on Mn Water Policy, Legislative Coordinating Commission.

Sen. Jason Isaacson (District 42, DFL) Phone: 651-296-5537 Email: Use form available at https://www.senate.mn/ members/email-form/1231 Education Our students, parents, teachers and staff have faced unprecedented challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. They have all had to make tremendous sacrifices, Sen. Jason Isaacson and juggle between remote learning and being safe in the classroom. What’s clear is, every student deserves a world-class education, no matter their zip code or what they look like. With a large surplus, we must fully invest in our students to help them recover from the effects of this pandemic and to ensure they can learn safely and effectively. We must also address our chronic underfunding of schools, including investments in mental health supports and equity initiatives like increasing the number of teachers of color. Bonding/capital investment Traditionally, the even year of a biennium is focused on a bonding bill. Bonding is the best tool we have to create jobs and strengthen our public infrastructure by investing public money into public works. This can include roads and bridges, water infrastructure, and our colleges and universities just to name some examples. For this year’s bill, I will be pushing for two local projects: a new Fire Department Headquarters for the Lake Johanna Fire Department, and for new multiuse trails near Mounds View High School. What makes bonding unique is it is the only bill that requires a supermajority, which means any bill must have bipartisan support. I am optimistic that by the end of this session, we will have passed a strong bill that truly invests in our state.

Climate change/ environment Climate change is an existential threat to our way of life in Minnesota, and we must take bold action to address it. I will work with my colleagues to push for initiatives that can move us as quickly as possible off of fossil fuels and towards clean and renewable energy, investments in public transit, and incentives for electric vehicles. We must also take steps that protect our air and water, including stronger regulatory actions and better standards that will reduce the amount of pollutants in our environment.

Rep. Peter Fischer (District 43A, DFL)

Phone: 651-296-0563 Email: Rep.Peter.Fischer. @house.mn The 2022 Legislative Session begins this week. This year, I will continue to work on protecting our state’s natural resources and environment, including the many different animals and species that Rep. Peter Fischer call Minnesota home. I’ll continue to advocate for ensuring our water quality is protected from pollution, and expand the use of renewable energy. We must also promote high-quality affordable housing opportunities for all Minnesotans and those who may be housing insecure. Having worked with youth experiencing homelessness for over 14 years, this is an issue I will work tirelessly for. We also must take steps to address the ongoing pandemic, particularly in the realm of education. Our teachers’ mental health has been tested the past 23 months, with previous sacrifices such as purchasing their own classroom equipment, working late hours, and responding to the needs of large class sizes being exacerbated by the pandemic. We must do our part and fully fund public education, and give thanks to the teachers out there.

‘Comments to the board’ replaces open forum in regular school board meetings BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

Open forum is no longer a part of official Mounds View School Board meetings. Comments to the Board is a new opportunity for the public to address the board at 6:30 p.m. before each official school board meeting. The comment sessions will not be televised. That has brought up some concern for some residents who feel that the community was removed from the agenda, removed from the record, removed from asking for a written response and removed from the online video of the meeting. School Board Chair Jonathan Weinhagen said they have received similar feedback and have also heard from people who appreciate the expanded opportunity to engage with the board. “Our objective was to create that expanded opportunity for those whose goals are to speak to the board. For those whose goals include a public platform, they are entitled to do so independent of board business meetings,” Weinhagen said. “We choose to broadcast the actual board meetings themselves but aren’t required to do so.”

Christine LaDuke was the fi rst and only speaker at the fi rst Comments to the Board, held before the regular school board meeting Jan. 25. LaDuke thanked the board for helping the community with the partnership with the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf and Operation Joy Toy. “I’m an elderly, gray-haired white woman, who goes by the pronoun ‘she,’” LaDuke said. “I think those introductions are ridiculous because they are so superficial. Yet we’ve invested in curriculum that takes the time out of our day to train children to introduce themselves in that way.” LaDuke said it trains them to identify themselves and others based on race, religion, gender and sexual identity. You can’t know anything about a person by hearing those things, she noted. She said she thinks it is racist, a waste of tax dollars and classroom time. LaDuke also believes it creates division through segregation. “Mounds View District has a long history of drawing out the best and developing the strengths of each of our children and I appreciate all you do to acknowledge and affi rm student achievement,” she said. “But I just wonder if through this equity curriculum if we’re turning a corner and

we’re focusing on the wrong things. We’re focusing on superficialness that will divide and weaken us rather than connect and strengthen us. Have we forgotten that the role of our schools is to educate?” If the public wants to speak at the Comments to the Board session, they need to sign up at the District Office up by 6:15 p.m. to be heard. In other school board action: • Superintendent Chris Lennox and Darin Johnson, executive director of school management, gave an update regarding operations in buildings and programs districtwide, as Mounds View Public Schools continues to navigate the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Johnson presented updates in the areas of transportation, nutrition services, student support and staffing. • Weinhagen summarized the role of a policy governance board, explained the board’s partnership with the superintendent and affi rmed the management’s work and decision-making process during the pandemic. “We’ve been really strident in ensuring that we’re leading with a public health lens and we’re listening to the experts, including our administration,” Weinhagen

said. “We’re listening to the community and consulting with the community, and I think we’re all better for it.” • The board approved budget assumptions for fiscal year 2022-23 as presented by Bernice Humnick, executive director of business services. The next budget phase will provide allocations to the building principals and program leaders so that they can begin budget development. The final budget will be adopted in June 2022. The total general fund operating expenditures are projected to be $164 million. • Treasurer Shauna Bock read the list of gifts the district received this period. She noted that the amount is smaller this period because there were two school board meetings in January. There were four gifts for school programs totaling $698.52. The next Mounds View School Board meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8, at the District Center, 4570 Victoria St. N. in Shoreview.

An overtime victory was the highlight for Mounds View as the Mustangs lost four of five games the last two weeks, dropping to 10-7 for the season. The Mustangs were 8-2 before losing senior Dylan Wheeler, who was averaging 15.9 points, due to a broken wrist suffered while weight-lifting. They are 2-5 since. The Mustangs beat Woodbury 69-62 in overtime there last Wednesday, powered by Kobe Kirk with 32 points. Jacob Becher added 18 points and Ryan Edelman nine.

Aveline “Ava” Bullert, Mounds View hockey senior, pumped in six goals in the Mustangs’ last three games: two in a 4-1 win over Irondale/ St. Anthony, one in a 5-1 win over White Bear Lake, and three, all in the first period, in a 6-3 loss to East Ridge. The 5-foot-8 forward has logged 12 goals for the Mustangs (12-10). Always a proficient passer, she has 15 assists this year and had 11 last year along with six goals. Coach Dana Romaker praises Bullert as a strong, hardworking, determined player who is “fantastic at making things happen on the ice.” Bullert will graduate with eight letters in tennis, hockey and track (where she’s a captain) and plans to play hockey in college.

GATEWAY CORNER: Public to weigh in on intersection improvements FROM PAGE 1

ment of the northwest quadrant of the Hodgson Road/County Road J (CRJ) intersection, for the Lyngblomsten project (See “Construction begins on ‘largest private investment in Lino Lakes’ history” on presspubs. com), which requires improvements to the adjacent county roads. Improvements would include turn lanes at all new intersections and the Hodgson Road/CRJ intersection, along with modifications to the existing signal system. The proposed improvements for the Lyngblomsten development led to a broader discussion between Anoka and Ramsey counties and the cities of Shoreview and Lino Lakes on a more comprehensive solution to the area’s transportation needs. In 2021, Anoka County agreed to lead the project and retained WSB to evaluate intersection design options and facilitate a public engagement process. A detailed traffic modeling analysis was completed as part of the initial design study. “They (county and WSB) are working through traffic studies and preliminary design

options to see what works best,” Community Development Director Michael Grochala said. “They are here to walk through that as they get ready to embark on the public engagement process and start toward final design.” Michelle Pritchard and Daniel Frey of Anoka County and Andy Plowman of WSB recently presented preliminary layout concepts for the intersection, which includes an option for a traffic signal or a roundabout. Plowman explained that at this point, the county has already had conversations with both of the involved cities and counties and has just begun the process of talking to businesses on the corner that would be impacted by the improvements. Plowman said the intersection currently faces challenges when it comes to traffic operations, especially during certain periods of the day, with the afternoon peak traffic being the worst. Both a traffic signal and a roundabout are being considered for the intersection.

Some pros for a tra˜ c signal include:

• No new right of way

would need to be acquired for the northwest quadrant of the intersection; • Only 159 square feet of new right of way would need to be acquired from one parcel; and • The trafﬁc signal equipment should last and operate effectively for 20 years.

Some cons for a tra˜ c signal include:

• New right of way (8,418 square feet) would need to be acquired from three of the four parcels involved. • Access would be severely limited based on the introduction of raised medians on County Road J and Hodgson Road, creating right-in-right out driveways. • Due to the expansion of roadway needed for the signal, there would be an increase of 1.17 acres of impervious surface. • Three wetlands would likely be impacted with permanent fi ll. • This option is estimated to be approximately $140,000 more expensive than a roundabout due to an increased amount of pavement and the costs of the signal system itself.

Anoka County is considering a roundabout option for the intersection of County Road J and Hodgson Road.

Some pros for the roundabout include:

• Less right of way would be needed. Right of way (3,298 square feet) would need to be acquired from two of the four parcels involved. • Would allow for easy property access via safe U-turns. • There would only be an increase of 0.60 acres of impervious surface. • Two (instead of three) wetlands would likely be impacted with permanent fi ll.

• The baseline estimate is cheaper than the signal option. “We see more benefits for the roundabout at this point than a traffic signal,” Plowman said. “We are sharing with you so that you are aware of everything and where we are going. We have not made a decision on anything yet. We will go to the public next to get feedback.” Plowman said the plan for the public engagement process will likely be a hybrid approach, with options to make comments online,

attend a virtual open house and, hopefully, an in-person open house. “We want to get as much feedback as we possibly can,” he said. The project would be paid for by Lyngblomsten, both counties and both cities. Managing Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-4071227 or quadnews@ presspubs.com.

TERRY QUIGLEY: Served the community and loved his family deeply FROM PAGE 1

service on the Economic Development Commission and Economic Development Authority. He also served on many community fundraising boards and commissions. “His name stood for honesty, integrity and credibility,” Martin said. Quigley worked behind the scenes for many venues and before he died, was counseling veterans who had lost their jobs. “He provided hope, encouragement and a practical plan for their futures.” He also was a reading buddy in Mounds View schools. “He did all of this, not for recognition, not for votes, but because he saw a need and he wanted to help,” Martin said.

Martin explained she got a message from a former city planner who had worked with Quigley more than 30 years ago. The message stated, “I will always treasure my time with him. In all situations he treated people with respect. He listened before speaking. He was very sincere, and he was certainly the champion of wit and humor. Thirty years later, that’s what people remember about Terry Quigley.” Council Member Emy Johnson said she had the privilege of sitting next to Quigley for more than 10 years and admired his steadfast commitment to mankind and to his family. “Terry loved his family deeply and we were his fam-

ily as well,” Johnson said. “There is one thing I would do every time at council meetings, and that was to ensure Terry’s mic was on.” Johnson turned Quigley’s microphone on and off for the last time at the Jan. 18 City Council meeting. Council Member Cory Springhorn said Quigley’s generosity of spirit was fantastic. “I’ve learned so much from him, and I will miss him deeply,” Springhorn said. Council Member Sue Denkinger remembers Quigley as always being prepared and setting the bar high for other council members. “He was an excellent listener. I didn’t often know what he personally felt about things because everything to

him was about the city and the residents,” Denkinger said. “I will definitely miss him, and I miss him already.” Martin said that Quigley is irreplaceable, but in the coming weeks the council will carry out its responsibility to appoint a new council member. “In the meantime, we will carry on the best we can without his guidance and his wisdom and his one-liners,” Martin said. “Thank you, Terry, for a lifetime of service and a belly laugh at every meeting.” In other council action, • The council reappointed Craig John and Allison Rykken to the Parks and Recreation Commission.

• The council appointed Nicole Westadt and reappointed Steve Solomonson to the Planning Commission. • The council authorized staff to hire the BKV Group for the council chambers remodeling project. This project is part of the capital improvement program and will be completed this year. The next Shoreview City Council meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 7, in council chambers at City Hall, 4600 Victoria St. N., in Shoreview. Staff Writer Noelle Olson can be reached by emailing shoreviewnews@presspubs.com or calling 651-407-1229.

BUSINESS BRIEF Father and son purchase Advance Medical Equipment White Bear Lake resident Scott Reinhardt and his son, Andrew, saw the onset of the pandemic as an opportunity to go into business together. In June of 2020 they bought Advance Medical Equipment, a supplier of home medical equipment, and relocated the company from Hopkins to Little Canada. The business provides wheelchairs, lift chairs, scooters, walkers, CPAP machines, oxygen concentrators and more. They can deliver most items, and can help explain Medicare, Medicaid and other insurance benefits so people with limited incomes can get essential medical equipment for the least out of pocket expense. During the pandemic many fami-

lies have been moving elderly parents out of nursing facilities back home. Numerous medical products are designed for enhancing the dignity and independence of caregivers and beneficiaries alike. Baby boomers trying to stay in their homes and independent a bit longer, transitioning to assisted living, or temporarily needing rehabilitation equipment are common scenarios where the company can recommend the right equipment to ease the transition. Someday Scott, 64, plans to retire to pursue his other hobbies and interests. For now he is finding fulfi llment visiting with his customers. Advance Medical Equipment is located at 80 E. Little Canada Road, Suite 4, Little Canada, and can be reached by phone at 952-426-4812.

Who put the ‘groundhog’ in Groundhog Day? Plucking a sleeping rodent from its burrow and asking it to play meteorologist for the day may be America’s oddest holiday. It might not surprise you that the history behind the tradition is just about as weird as the holiday itself. German settlers were the folks who brought Groundhog Day as we know it to the United States. It wasn’t uncommon in Germanic Europe to use animals as a way to predict the weather. “Dachstag” or “Badger Day” is also known as Candlemas, an ancient Christian tradition on Feb. 2, just 40 days after Christmas, where clergy would bless the candles that were needed for winter. It was believed that if Candlemas was a sunny day, there would only be 40 more days of winter. This is where animal meteorology comes in. It was believed if a badger saw its shadow that day, there would be four more weeks of winter, just like our modern Groundhog Day.

Many different animals would be volunteered for the tradition. Badgers, foxes and even bears were among the animals used to predict the weather, but the hedgehog was very common according to German lore since hedgehogs were prevalent in Germany. So why the groundhog that we know (and love) today? When German settlers came to Pennsylvania they brought their traditions with them, but not their hedgehogs. Since hedgehogs aren’t native to North America, they selected an abundant rodent, the groundhog. It’s possible the early German settlers were on to something. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Punxsutawney Phil has been right about the weather about 50% of the time. This Feb. 2, maybe consider turning down the Weather Channel and tuning in to weatherman, Punxsutawney Phil, for your latest forecast. Corinne Stremmel

Presidents' Day Trivia

Celebrated each year on the third Monday in February, Presidents' Day honors all U.S. presidents. The origins of the holiday lie in the 1880s, when George Washington's birthday, Feb. 22, was celebrated as a federal holiday. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Bill, which moved several federal holidays to Mondays in order to give workers a number of long weekends throughout the year. During the debate on the bill, it was proposed that Washington's birthday be renamed Presidents’ Day to likewise honor Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday is Feb. 12. To test your knowledge of America's 46 presidents, check out the quiz below:

1. Which president was a classically trained pianist and played four other instruments? ________________________________________________ 2. How many presidents never went to college? _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Who was the first president to travel by railroad? __________________________________________________________________________________ 4. Who was the oldest president to be inaugurated? ___________________________________________________________________________________ 5. Which president hated his painted portrait so much that he eventually burned it? ___________________________________________________ 6. Which president was the first to ride in a car to his inauguration? ___________________________________________________________________ 7. Which president was the first to hold a televised news conference? __________________________________________________________________ 8. Which president signed legislation creating Medicare? _____________________________________________________________________________ 9. Which president was a famous movie star? _________________________________________________________________________________________ 10.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Arctic wave one after another. Winter is living up to its billing and January provided plenty of cold temperatures. January finished about 6º colder than normal and February is starting where January left off, with another Arctic air mass. If here has been one silver lining, it is that our weekends have been some of our milder days this winter. I saw plenty of people out taking part in winter activities. This forecast period also calls for a “milder” weekend, temperature-wise. Don’t waste these mild winter weekends. Get out and enjoy! Side note: My 2022 weather calendar is still available! Check my website for more info. WeathermanWatson.com or call me at 651.206.5364. Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake.

Deputies arrived to find a disabled car and an uncooperative distraught driver who was also driving after revocation and not in possession of motor vehicle insurance. • A verbal dispute regarding dating apps was reported Jan. 22 in the 5800 block of Savannah Lane. • A Shoreview man, 19, was arrested Jan. 22 in the 500 block of Harriet Avenue for felony fleeing a police officer after deputies tried to pull him over for erratic driving on Soo Street and North Owasso Blvd. A two-minute, one-mile pursuit from Rice Street and I-694 to Harriet Avenue ensued, which ended with deputies drawing their weapons. The suspect has been charged for this offense.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF BRIEF The ‘hot potato’ defense A Shoreview man, 19, faces up to three years and one day and/or a maximum $5,000 fine for felony fleeing a peace officer in a motor vehicle. At approximately 9:30 p.m. Jan. 22, Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies on patrol observed a Ford Taurus driving recklessly on northbound Rice Street at I-694. Deputies observed the vehicle weaving in and out of traffic and braking randomly. The Taurus moved into the left-hand turn lane to enter westbound I-694, but suddenly headed southbound on Rice Street. This extreme maneuver prompted deputies to activate their squad lights and siren to conduct a traffic stop. However, the Ford accelerated away, and the pursuit was on. The two vehicles went through the parking lot of a nearby Burger King restaurant and then one mile along Owasso Blvd., followed by an excursion onto Chandler Road. On several occasions during the pursuit, conducted in a snowfall and on slippery roads, the Ford drove into oncoming traffic. Meanwhile, it was snowing and the roads were slippery. After a two-minute, one-mile chase, the Ford stopped in a parking lot at 505 Harriet Avenue, where deputies identified its driver. The subject told deputies that he didn't stop because he was "shocked and wanted to get the keys back to" his mother, who resides in the complex at that location. Later, he offered that there was "no place" to stop or park during the pursuit. To bolster their case, deputies took photographs of the vehicle and its tire tracks all over the median.
