Owasso construction plans solidified BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

SHOREVIEW — Reconstruction of North Owasso Boulevard is expected to get underway late this summer and continue until fall of 2020 — a $6.4 million project. “We are about to order the biggest (street) project in Shoreview history, but it has been well researched and well planned and designed,” said Shoreview Mayor Sandy Martin at a City Council meeting Feb. 4. “It is going to be inconvenient, I can guarantee that for all of us, but I think in the end this is going to be an improvement over a road that hasn’t had any work for 20 or 30 years.” The City Council unanimously ordered the reconstruction project that comes on the tail end of the reconstruction of Lake Owasso County Park. The project is expected to be fi nished, along with the new Rice Street bridge interchange, in November 2020. The city is working with Ramsey County for the portion of the boulevard that passes by Lake Owasso County Park, said Public Works

Revival of Vadnais’ dome on pause BY DEBRA NEUTKENS WHITE BEAR EDITOR

ST. PAUL — The Vadnais Heights sports dome may not be a dome in the future, but at least it will have a future. Ramsey County Commissioners agreed to keep the damaged structure, as long as someone else pays for one-third of the cost to replace it. At this point, the amount needed from outside partners is about $1 million. Staff is recommending replacing the dome with a 15 percent smaller structure to address parking issues, yet still accommodate primary users. Turf will be the size of a

regulation soccer field, with trusses to support the fabric instead of air. The structure will be more energy efficient and “resistant to collapse.” Mark McCabe, director of parks and recreation, provided financial estimates to the commissioners at a dome workshop last month. Replacing the dome would require a capital outlay of $3 million, he said. The county owes $8.2 million on the Vadnais Sports Center complex, a debt that should be repaid by end of year 2035. According to McCabe, the county expects the dome to operate at an annual loss of $66,000, which could possibly be eliminated by an increase in turf rental rates. As far as offsetting capital costs,

the county is looking to community investors. County board Chair Jim McDonough, who represents several St. Paul neighborhoods in District 6, proposed a partnership that shares a third of the project cost. “There are 19 cities in this county and four school districts. We can make this painless,” he said. “We are asking communities to come forward and support it.” McDonough acknowledged a sense of urgency regarding the dome reopening but felt the decision could not be made hastily. The goal is to reopen by 2021. SEE SPORTS DOME, PAGE 9

POLITICAL BRIEF

Environmental speaker series

Representative appointed to oversee outdoors

Master Water Steward and Shoreview resident Paul Gardner will speak at the Environmental Quality Commission’s speaker series at 7 p.m. Feb. 20. Learn how to make your lawn an oasis for improved water quality and conservation. The event will be held in the City Council chambers, located next to the Community Center.

Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn was appointed to serve on the Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council. The council provides annual funding recommendations regarding the Outdoor Heritage Fund to the Legislature. “Like many Minnesotans, I grew up deer hunting, fi shing, and harvesting wild rice with my family, and I know how important these traditions are to other families throughout our state,” she said. In 2008, Minnesota’s voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment, legislation that increases the state sales tax by three-eighths of one percent. The additional sales tax revenue is distributed into four funds, with 33 percent allocated to the Outdoor Heritage Fund. These resources are intended to restore, protect and enhance wetlands, prairies, forest and habitat for fi sh, game and wildlife. Becker-Finn represents Vadnais Heights and parts of Shoreview.

Taste of Shoreview coming up Taste of Shoreview, a fundraiser for the city’s summer festival, Slice of Shoreview, will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 21 at the Shoreview Community Center. It features Shoreview foodies, wine tasting, raffles, silent auctions and more. Proceeds sponsor the Slice of Shoreview Days fi reworks display. Cost is $25 per person or $40 per couple.

Food shelf donations matched A portion of all pounds of food and dollars donated to the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf between Feb. 25 and April 8 will be matched by Minnesota FoodShare, a statewide campaign that raises hunger awareness and promotes donations to local food shelves. The goal for March is to bring in 95,000 pounds of food and dollars (combined) to directly benefit families in the Mounds View Public Schools community. Drop off food or hygiene donations at any participating school throughout the district or at the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf (2544 Mounds View Blvd., Mounds View), from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday. Make a cash or online donation at www. ralphreederfoodshelf.org. For more information, call 651-621-6280.

34th Wedding Show

ast Sunday, Press Publications hosted its 34th Annual Wedding Show. Highlights included more than 30 local vendors and various wedding dress designs featured in our live runway show. Brides toured the vendor tables that filled the ballroom at the Best Western Plus White Bear Country Inn. Our staff loves to see local connections happen when vendors and brides are brought together. What made this year unique was that we competed with the mega shows in the Twin Cities. As I interviewed brides on their way out, I heard positive comments about the florist options, cake samples, deejays, and especially Publisher’s the runway show and performer Gary LaRue. View Many thanks to vendors, our show partners Arthur Murray, Carter Johnson Revive Salon, Bread Art, Angelique’s, Savvi Formalwear, Gary LaRue of Rat Pack Entertainment and Best Western Country Inn. Thank yous also goes out to our staff and the brides who attended to make the show a success. If you or someone you know is looking for wedding ideas, please pick up our 2019 wedding show guide at the office or at one of hundreds of news stands in the northeast metro. DNA tests reveal family history Discovered in 1860 by Swiss chemist Johann Friedrich Miescher, DNA potential has taken years to unlock. Since the early 2000s, DNA testing kits have become big business and are sold at most drug store chains. Today’s DNA testing kits are a readily available and affordable way for those wanting to research their genealogy. Friends and family members around us have participated in these tests. In fact, we bought two ancestryDNA kits as a gift to my parents for Christmas. My mother-in-law was the first person I knew to send her DNA to a genealogy website. She wanted to find out about any unknowns in her ancestry. The results were almost exactly what she thought they would be, though she was surprised to learn she had a small percentage of Norwegian ancestry (likely the result of the Viking invasions in Ireland) and she was slightly disappointed that she wasn’t one bit African, Asian or Jewish, which she thought would have been unexpected and exciting. The website also connected her with people around the world who are likely to be distant relatives, in some cases through a common ancestor and in other cases through a link in their DNA. One of our friends discovered a first cousin that she hadn’t known about. I’ve also heard of people who were adopted reuniting with biological family members through DNA testing. Curiosity has created demand for these tests. These tests can help us understand our origin, ethnicity and distant — or not so distant — relatives we didn’t know about. Some tests provide wellness reports to determine if you’re predisposed to certain medical conditions. I recently read that law enforcement is even using genealogy DNA services to solve cold case murders and other crimes where original evidence can now be tested against their large databases. A red flag for me is the potential for companies to use this personal data in ways other than determining how German or Scandinavian one is, or who your great-great-great- grandmother likely was. Once your DNA is in a database, how do you know where it might end up? Who will own it and how might they market to you and your family down the road? There is certainly some fascinating information that genealogy websites and DNA tests can offer, I just wonder if people shouldn’t really consider the possibility of unintended consequences of sharing too much data.

overnor Tim Walz was clear when he asked me to be the Chair of the Metropolitan Council – he wanted a mayor for the job. A mayor has a good perspective on the work of the Council. Whether planning for economic development opportunities and growth, ensuring diverse and adequate housing options, or maintaining infrastructure such as roads, transit and wastewater, the CounMovers & cil’s work touches community Shakers every in the seven-counNora Slawik ty metro area. During my time as mayor of Maplewood, I found that my job was really a mix of policy-making, budgeting strategies, and inspiring residents and staff with a vision for the future. No matter the mix of any given day, being a mayor requires the most important skill of problem-solving. Of course, there are very few problems that any one agency or community can solve on its own. It’s the reason the legislature created the Council more than 50 years ago - to address issues too big for any individual city or county to do on its own. We do that through regional partnerships. As Chair of the Met Council, one of my top priorities is to ensure our region remains economically competitive in a global market-

place. This means attracting employment and opportunities for the people of our region compared to peer regions like Denver, Seattle, Atlanta and Boston. But it’s about more than just attracting and retaining business. We need to not just be a region where people can live, work, and raise a family, but a place where people want to live, work, and raise a family. It’s about mobility, and being able to get to work or school, have housing that’s affordable, great parks, strategic infrastructure, and smart plans for the future. That is something the Council plays a critical role in. Today, our region faces a housing crisis. As our population grows, diversiﬁes, and ages, we simply don’t have enough housing options for people in all life stages or of all economic means. Housing stability impacts nearly all aspects of life, including outcomes for health, education, and income. We also aren’t keeping up with the growing demand for mobility. Our region is projected to add 700,000 people over the next 20 years. We need to be investing in maintaining and expanding our transportation system, which includes roads, bridges, transit, bike, pedestrian and more. Whether they’re trying to get to their workplace each day in a car or fully reliant on public transit, or simply stretching their dollar trying to get by as a one-vehicle household, the Council is planning regionally to help make it work. My second top priority is to

ensure our region is a place where all people - not just some - can be prosperous. In too many areas to count, our region has chronic disparities that are holding us back. True economic competitiveness means everyone needs to be beneﬁtting, and we have a lot of work to do to realize that we can close our gaps in employment, home ownership, and health for our residents. And ﬁnally, I want to embrace the Walz-Flanagan vision of One Minnesota. This means practicing collaboration each and every day, in everything we do. It means focusing on how to move our entire state forward; our region forward; and our communities forward. Our future depends on all of us coming together to tackle our shared challenges. As a mayor and as a seven-term state legislator I learned that together we can achieve One Minnesota. I’m inspired by the commitment from Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan and know it’s the most successful path forward. We have big challenges ahead, but I truly believe that none of these problems are insurmountable. So long as we work together, listen to our partners, and develop lasting, long-term solutions, we can move our region forward and be a place where everyone can thrive. Nora Slawik is chair of the Metropolitan Council.

Beware of ice: Navigating our freeze-thaw winter

he warmer temperatures this winter have created a freeze thaw cycle that is making the threat of ice a daily concern. Just check in with schools all over the metro. Many aren’t able to send kids out for recess because the playground is covered with ice. You likely notice it walking to your car as patches on the driveway, parking lots and side streets are tough to navigate. We’re seeing the dangers of ice at the Urgency Room almost daily. Here is a look at the top types of injuries we are seeing. Most common fall injuries • Head injuries Head injuries are a serious concern with falls. You slip on the ice and your head strikes the ground. The result can be a minor bump or as major as a skull fracture, bleeding in the brain or concussion. These are serious injuries that can lead to ongoing mobility issues, memory problems, cognition problems and behavioral problems. As a rule, it’s time to see the doctor if you’ve lost consciousness or even suspect the head injury is more than a little bump. Serious symptoms include: - Persistent or worsening headache - Unusual sleepiness - Seizures - Imbalance or trouble walking - Vomiting - Memory loss - Mood changes

• Fractures, sprains, torn tendons and ligaments A severe injury in your legs, feet, arms or wrists can have long-term consequences. Fractures and tears can require surgery, and some patients never return to 100 percent. Many of these injuries take months to heal and require physical therapy. In all but mild cases, your healthcare provider should evaluate the Movers and injury and establish a and rehab Shakers treatment plan. Meanwhile, rest, Carolyn McClain ice, compression and elevation (called RICE) will help minimize damage caused by sprains and strains. Start RICE right away after the injury. Do all four parts of the RICE treatment at the same time. If you think you have a more serious injury, like a fracture or broken bone, call your healthcare provider right away. • Neck, back and spine injuries A slip and fall — or even catching yourself from slipping and falling – can result in an injury to the spine or the muscles surrounding the spine. This can be extremely painful. While strains of the muscles of the neck or back are very common, more serious injuries include fractures of the spine or injuries to the discs, nerves or

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

bones in the back. Most muscle injuries getter better with time, anti-inflammatories and physical therapy. However, a slipped disk, broken back, or other injury could lead to chronic pain and possibly the need for surgery. If you have severe pain, pain that shoots down and arm or leg, numbness or tingling or weakness in the arms or legs, loss of bowl or bladder control. • Broken hips or broken pelvis This injury is most common in the elderly. For older Minnesotans, the strength and density of their bones may deteriorate making these injuries more common. Advanced age also brings vision and balance problems, as well as other issues that make older Minnesotans more likely to fall. Preventing falls • Start with your shoes High heels, poorly fitting shoes or those with slick soles are almost certain to increase your risk for a fall especially on the many icy patches here in Minnesota during the winter months. Make sure you wear properly fitting sturdy shoes with nonskid soles. • Have you fallen before? Where did it happen? When did it happen? Was there a railing to grab onto? What was the surface like? Take a second look at areas where you have fallen before to make sure you’ve done everything you can to prevent it from happening again whether that means putting salt down on the

sidewalk or, if inside, would a railing or carpet help? • What medications are you taking? Make a list of your prescription and over-the-counter medications and supplements. Your doctor can review your medications for side effects and interactions that may increase your risk of falling. • What health conditions do you have? Certain eye and ear disorders may increase your risk of falls. Be prepared to discuss your health conditions. Your doctor may evaluate your muscle strength, balance and walking style (gait) as well. • Keep moving Physical activity can go a long way toward fall prevention. With your doctor’s OK, consider inside activities such as walking, swimming or tai chi — a gentle exercise that involves slow and graceful dance-like movements. These exercises reduce the risk of falls by improving strength, balance, coordination and flexibility. A strength training program (lifting weights or even body weight exercises) improves balance, muscle strength and bone density. If you have specific areas or pain or weakness, ask your doctor if physical therapy would be beneficial. Dr. Carolyn McClain is medical director of The Urgency Room.

On climate change State Representative Linda Runbeck is a climate change denier. At a recent listening session in Hugo, Runbeck talked about climate change using rhetoric from the denial campaign organized by industrial, political and ideological interests (and funded by the fossil fuel industry) to create uncertainty about climate change. Runbeck believes scientists are at war on the climate change issue and that climate science is corrupted. Ninety-seven percent or more of actively publishing climate scientists agree: climate change is undeniably real and human-caused. The evidence of rapid climate change is compelling. For example, measurements of CO2 — a greenhouse gas — in the atmosphere and trapped in ice show levels higher than anything we’ve seen in 400,000 years. Runbeck talked about the deep pockets of the renewable energy industry. In contrast, the fossil fuel industry pumps much more massive contributions into political campaigns, spews out misleading statements about the role that fossil fuels play in causing climate change, and pays climate-denying scientists to testify before Congress. Runbeck mentioned that 30,000 scientists signed a petition arguing that there is no convincing scientific evidence for human-caused climate change. Circulating since 1998, this petition has been repeatedly debunked. Only 12 percent of the 30,000 signatories have some sort of background in fields that tie directly to climate change. Runbeck stated we had a little ice age in the 1700s, and a cooling period from 1940 to 1970. Cooler temperatures in the 1700s were not worldwide. The mid-century cooling was largely due to a high concentration of sulphate aerosols in the atmosphere. When clean air acts were put in place, aerosol levels fell in the atmosphere and their cooling effect was soon outweighed by the warming effect of the steadily rising levels of greenhouse gases. Runbeck believes we will be 85 percent fossil-fuel dependent in the future. We cannot afford to operate on this belief. Fossil fuels are fi nite resources that will eventually run out. We need to transition to a cleaner, secure energy future. We deserve a representative who follows the scientific data and cares about the future of our planet. Kate Winsor North Oaks

SHOREVIEW — Several traffic pileups occurred along I-694 and I-35E during an afternoon snowfall Sunday, Feb. 10. Sixteen cars were piled up near I-694 and Victoria Street about 1 p.m., including a semi, tanker truck and pickup, which was slammed into a

spring and went into effect in July. Shoreview was the sixth municipality in the state to adopt a law restricting tobacco sales to those 21 or older. It includes restrictions on tobacco-related products and tobacco-related devices. Stu-

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

Shoreview • An employee received an email Jan. 22 instructing her to purchase $1,000 in gift cards for her employer. The 28-year-old wisely reported the attempted fraud. An investigation is underway. • A bag left in an unlocked vehicle in the 900 block of Monterey Court North was rummaged through overnight Jan. 22. An undetermined amount of cash was taken. No suspects. • A man approached deputes on Jan 24 at the county patrol station and said his son had pointed a loaded shotgun at him at their home on Pinewood Drive and threatened to pull the trigger. Following an investigation, the 24-yearold son was taken into custody on a charge of felony second-degree assault with a dangerous weapon. • On Jan. 24 a thief driving a stolen Chevy Malibu approached a Grand Prix occupied by a female passenger at a station in the 1200 block of White Bear Avenue and said, “Get the xxxx out,” while pointing something at her. The woman ran into the station and told the Grand Prix’s owner that his car was being stolen. The car owner ran out and confronted the thief, who said, “Get back or I’ll shoot you!” Nine-one-one was called and arriving deputies pursued the stolen Grand Prix until it fishtailed on I-35E, went up an embankment at the Rice Street exit, hit a utility pole and went into a ditch. The thief was thrown into the back seat. The driver crawled out and was taken into custody. The 30-year-old, who has no permanent address, has eight prior felony convictions, including three for motor vehicle theft. He was jailed on an existing warrant. Bail was set at $50,000.

• A package left on a doorstep the morning of Jan. 25 in the 900 block of Amble Road was later found unsealed and empty. Expected computer gear valued at $900 had gone missing. • Juvenile fists flew the afternoon of Jan. 27 in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue. Five sets of parents were notified. • A 30-year-old man came all the way from North Mankato Jan. 27 to the 3400 block of Kent Street, where he was found to be intoxicated. He was transported to Regions for an “emergency examination.” • Deputies employed the PIT (pursuit intervention technique) maneuver to stop a van with no plates the night of Jan. 27 in the 1000 block of Highway 96. The uncooperative driver, who ignored lights and sirens until he was forced to stop on Highway 96 at Rice Street, was treated for minor injuries suffered during the arrest. The driver, a 46-yearold Minneapolis man, was jailed on charges of fleeing police in a motor vehicle and driving without an ignition interlock device. • A hesitant thief, gender unknown, loaded a cart with $1,600 worth of items at Target in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue on Jan. 27 and then left, leaving the cart in the store. The thief returned a short time later, this time taking the cart — still fi lled with merchandise — and placed the items in a waiting vehicle. An investigation is underway. • A 35-year-old female was identified as the thief who took a laptop computer from the Country Inn & Suites in the 5900 block of Lexington Avenue the morning of Feb. 1. She was mailed a citation for theft. • A 36-year-old man was taken into custody the night of Feb. 1 in the 200 block of Demar Avenue on an Anoka County DWI warrant for his arrest.

SPORTS DOME: Commissioners want community input FROM PAGE 1

Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt, White Bear Lake's representative and dome advocate, preferred to fast-track the project. “We need to build a structure. The one proposed makes sense to me,” she said. “I don't want to slow this down or make it contingent on partnerships. I don't disagree with Commissioner McDonough, but don't put the brakes on until we get it all.” She feels that “shooting for $1 million is doable.” Reinhardt reported that she had reached out to the White Bear Lake school district to partner on the project and said the superintendent and finance director were agreeable to a conversation. “And there are others,” she added. Words like diversity and equity were also used during the 90-minute discussion. McDonough wondered if the county could “leverage an opportunity to be more inclusive.” Commissioner Blake Huffman said the dome offers more diversity than any other sporting venue. “Our golf courses are not looking at equity,” he pointed out.

“I think they are missing the piece about equity and diversity that the dome provides. Soccer is the world’s biggest sport. It is inclusive. The equity piece is already here.” Shannon Hartinger The board agreed to bring the dome decision back to the conference table in three months to give staff and commissioners time to look for funding partners and to gather community input. A construction timeline will also be defined in time for the board's next budget cycle. Feedback from the public is something Reinhardt encourages. “Now that we have a plan, we need to have community engagement,” she

stated. “What do people think about this? That is critically important. We are putting together that process now.” Members of the White Bear Lake Soccer Club observing the proceedings included Shannon Hartinger, the club's developmental director, who leads the “Save the Turf” group. Asked her reaction to the board's action, Hartinger replied that she is grateful that the facility is moving forward on the same footprint, but the timeline is not favorable. The club is already signing two-year contracts with other facilities to ensure indoor training time during winter, Hartinger said, also noting those times are not ideal as longterm users get prime slots. Another “takeaway,” she added: “I think they

are missing the piece about equity and diversity that the dome provides. Soccer is the world's biggest sport. It is inclusive. The equity piece is already here.” Mahtomedi resident Norm Setnicker, a member of the Roseville Senior Softball Association, bemoaned the height of the proposed facility. A truss structure won't be as high, something softball players appreciate about the dome. He wanted to remind commissioners that 300 softball players used the dome during daytime hours four times each week last winter. “It's not a dome anymore,” Setnicker pointed out, adding that Stillwater is putting an addition on its dome next year. “Ramsey will be the only county without a dome.”

Survey shows smoking decline stalls in Minnesota MINNEAPOLIS — Findings from the latest Minnesota Adult Tobacco Survey (MATS) show that progress in reducing smoking has stalled. The state’s adult smoking rate has declined to 13.8 percent, down from 14.4 percent in 2014, but the decrease is not statistically significant. It's also the smallest decline seen since the MATS study began in 1999. Conducted by ClearWay MinnesotaSM and the Minnesota Department of Health, MATS surveyed Minnesota residents about smoking, e-cigarette and other tobacco use, and secondhand smoke exposure. “Minnesota has long been a leader in tobacco prevention and cessation, but we are seeing that progress stalling,” said lead researcher Ann St. Claire, Associate Director of Evaluation and Survey Research for ClearWay Minnesota. “Research shows that policies like price increases and clean indoor air laws help drive down smoking rates, and we’ve seen the impact of those policies in past MATS reports. Today, we must continue using proven approaches to reduce the smoking rate, such as additional price increases and raising the tobacco age to 21.” MATS found dramatic shifts in who was using e-cigarettes. The rate of e-cigarette use

among all adults remained unchanged from 2014 (6 percent in 2018 vs. 5.9 percent in 2014). However, while the rate of cigarette smoking among young adults aged 18-24 fell significantly, from 15.3 percent to 8.5 percent, e-cigarette use in this age group nearly doubled, from 12.8 percent to 21.9 percent, reflecting trends also seen in 2017’s Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey. Disturbingly, the study also found a sharp increase in e-cigarette use among people who have no prior history of smoking. Forty-four percent of e-cigarette users in 2018 said they had never smoked cigarettes – a significant increase from 2014 (11.7 percent). “Over the past 20 years, Minnesota made great strides in reducing tobacco use,” said Minnesota Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm. “But in the face of new challenges from the tobacco industry, like e-cigarettes, the future of tobacco use in our state is once again uncertain. We must do everything we can to prevent our young people from starting tobacco use, including e-cigarettes, and we must provide current smokers free and easy help to quit.” Other fi ndings from MATS 2018 include: • Approximately 574,000 adult Minnesotans continue

to smoke. Smoking rates are highest among Minnesotans who have completed fewer years of education and have lower incomes than nonsmokers. Minnesotans with less than a high school education have the highest smoking rate at 33.4 percent. • Fewer smokers are making quit attempts. Fewer than half of all smokers, 45.7 percent, reported making a quit attempt in the past 12 months, down from 53.4 percent in 2014. • Flavored e-cigarettes attract young adults. Nearly all young adult e-cigarette users (96.7 percent) report their usual brand of e-cigarettes is fl avored. • Fewer than half the smokers tried to quit. Released approximately every four years, MATS provides comprehensive information about smoking rates and tobacco-related behaviors, attitudes and beliefs in the adult Minnesota population, and serves as a tool for measuring the progress of Minnesota’s tobacco prevention efforts. Previous surveys were conducted in 1999, 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2014. The full report and a fact sheet are available at ClearWay Minnesota’s Minnesota Adult Tobacco Survey webpage: http://clearwaymn.org/MATS/. Press release

T RUMAN COMPANY TOP-RATED COIN AND PRECIOUS METAL EXCHANGE M

ore than 40 years in business has given The Truman Company owner Roger Westerling a clear idea of what customers want in a coin and precious metals dealer. Most of all, he says, it’s to be treated fairly. “I believe in the repeat customer. If you treat everyone fairly they will come back,” Westerling said. “Doing business in the right and honest way is important. Most of our business is repeat customers. I want to make everyone’s experience pleasant and as stress-free as possible.” The Truman Company buys gold and silver bullion, old gold and silver jewelry (scrap gold), and other collectables. Their specialty is the coin business. Licensed by the State of Minnesota as a Bullion Coin Dealer, the company is one of the leading rare coin and precious metals dealers in the Twin Cities, often beating the prices of low-cost internet companies. Personalized service and competitive pricing are the hallmarks of The Truman Company. Taking care of customers and giving them a fair price are values handed down from Westerling’s Uncle Truman, who taught him about the metals and coins business as a young man. After obtaining his business degree, Westerling spent many years working with some of the ﬁnest and most

Some of their more unusual ‘ﬁnds?’

“Coins that people have no idea are rare until we tell them. One case comes to mind - they thought they inherited a box of old coins from grandpa. It was able to pay off their student loans.” - Roger Westerling Owner, Truman Company

team go into the home and make a list of every item, with their offer price.

Customers may be local, regional or national. Westerling prefers the local business because he loves interacting with customers. Often, he says, people come in wanting to buy something tangible thinking that the price will go up. Sometimes a customer will inherit an item or a whole estate, with no clue what they have. Westerling and his

The biggest mistake people make, Westerling said, is to clean an item. “Do Not Clean,” he emphasized. “It totally destroys the collector value of any coin. Just box them up and bring them to us. We’re happy to sort and itemize and we can do it much faster.” Westerling and his store manager Aidan Kelly, both love to be in the shop every day, “not knowing what

Wright was right: form and function fuel design BY SHANNON RILEY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Iconic architect Frank Lloyd Wright was guided by the philosophy that “form follows function and imparts the character of a structure.” Avid water sports and iceboat enthusiast John Stasieluk and contractor Mark Olson of Applewood Builders are applying Wright’s philosophy. They have designed a barn that is functional and architecturally unique for Stasieluk’s vintage boats and a 38-foot Johnson showpiece iceboat named Phantom. “I interviewed a half dozen contractors before I found a guy who understood my vision. Mark Olson just gets it … and he’s a master carpenter,” said Stasieluk. Both men share pride in a project that is an ode to persistence and history.

A new-fashioned barnraising by an old-fashioned home A barn with sleek lines but old-fashioned flavor is rising just a stone’s throw from the eastern shore of Bald Eagle Lake. The august solidness of the madeto-measure barn and the intoxicating balm of roughsawn Ponderosa pine impart both awe and comfort. The barn is noteworthy in design, but its form and character are clearly inspired by its predecessor — a grand old home. The barn shares many features with John and Linda Stasieluk’s 90-year-old Tudor manor 20 steps away, designed in 1929 by Ellerbe Architects for oil company executive A.W. Gutterson. A quaint guest cottage that once served as a stable is the residence of Andy and Linda Power, whose family were former owners of the small estate. The main house has style hallmarks of the era: quirky elevation changes, iron sconces, elaborate plumbing, ceiling beams and a robust use of wood. Its façade evokes an English cottage with Tudor elements and a Dutch hip roof. Extended eaves, known as hay hoods, enhance the storybook charm. Owners John and wife, Linda Stasieluk, a graphic artist and product designer, spend their weekends “up north” on Bald Eagle away from their current residence in Edina. They love their lakeside Tudor. John noted, “We’ve been plotting our departure from the western suburbs to White Bear Township for more than five years.” Renovations on the home will be scrupulously made over time. With a forthcoming move and a passion for sailing and iceboats, the Stasieluks needed a spacious storage structure that would echo the historic homestead, appeal to neighbors and meet the standards of the township’s oversight. The design checklist was growing: lengthy clear spans for tall masts and imposing ice boat gliders, and architectural replications of the home’s distinct features including hay hoods, Tudor trim, Dutch hip roof accents and Oxford brown material to match the home’s clay tiles.

Not your grandfather’s barn Stasieluk’s persistence is paying off in a comradeship with Mark Olson of Applewood Builders, who loved the idea of building a post-and-beam barn. “After 40 years in home construction, we’ve done all sorts of remodels and renovations but this is a unique opportunity. It’s been great collaborating with John because I have always wanted to build a barn like this,” Olson said. With input from White Bear architect Scott Mower of Progressive Architects, Stasieluk and Olson decided upon a 26-by-44-foot custom-designed post-andbeam structure from Sand Creek Post and Beam of Wayne, Nebraska. Sand Creek designs and engineers custom wood barn kits with soaring ceilings and architectural details directed by their customers. The

sturdy post-and-beam system incorporates brawny bents that support the rafters that are then attached onto solid wood beams and braced with plates and bolts. Stasieluk, Olson and Sand Creek zeroed in on a final design after 10 revisions and constant focus on character, purpose and function. Olson toured Sand Creek’s Nebraska assembly plant to evaluate the design process. He had never constructed from a kit of pre-engineered materials. He said, “I had some trepidation until three semis rolled onto the site with perfectly ordered lumber and 100 pages of engineering plans. The kit was so complete, the only modifications were a few additional windows.” Their collaboration is only a few weeks from completion and Stasieluk’s regard for Olson has grown along with the barn. “Mark has the ability to pass on his tribal knowledge, a wealth of information to younger guys. He and his crew do what they say they’re going to do.”

Applewood Builders owner Mark Olson, left, built the unique barn for John Stasieluk, and his wife, Linda.

Olson gives a lot of credit to his wife and partner. An artist and designer, Andrea also manages the administrative side of their business and their “Carpenter and the Artist” blog found on ApplewoodRemodelers.com. They started Applewood Builders in 1983 and offer full-service home renovation and, now, post-and-beam barns. Folding chiseled and scarred hands, Olson accesses his long career in building. “My goal has always been to love what I do and to do it right. I don’t have a customer who isn’t still a friend … like John.” He credits Stasieluk for his tenacity and vision, and both men laud Sand Creek’s designers and engineers. Back in the barn, kerosene heaters purr as the Applewood crew places the loft’s weighty stair stringers into place. There’s a bold twist on tradition going up on the sunrise side of Bald Eagle Lake. Its history will speak for itself.

OWASSO CONSTRUCTION: Stormwater management in place for lakes FROM PAGE 1

Director Mark Maloney. The park is currently undergoing renovations, most of which have been completed. A parking lot and boat ramp project will take place in partnership with the city’s street reconstruction project. North Owasso Boulevard will be reconstructed from Soo Street to Victoria Street. The trail on the north side of the road will also be redone. Old cast iron pipes in the city’s water system and old clay pipes in the city’s sanitary sewer system will be replaced. The city will also revamp the storm drainage system in the area. “The road goes right between two significant water bodies for the city of Shoreview,” Maloney said. Currently, stormwater from some road areas runs untreated into Lake Owasso and Lake Wabasso, which is an environmental concern. The city worked with the Ramsey – Washington Metro Watershed District to create plans for a new system that includes catch basin inlets, underground piping, pretreatment devices, underground infi ltration, pervious pavement, fi ltration basins, perforated piping and underground stormwater storage. “I don’t recall ever in Shoreview that there is a project that has this intense of a design effort that has gone into stormwater management,” Maloney said. The project is projected to be the largest in city history, dollar-wise. The total cost is estimated at $6.4 million. The street portion is $3.4 million; the rest of the money will pay for water, sewer and drainage.

SUBMITTED

Large portions of Lake Owasso County Park construction were mostly finished last year (phase one in the graphic above) and phase two will be completed along with the city’s North Owasso Boulevard street reconstruction project by November 2020.

The city will be reimbursed $230,000 from the county for the park’s parking lot and boat launch. The cost includes a resident assessment share of about $153,000. City water and sewer service will be extended to a few lots that are

not currently hooked up to the city’s systems. Construction is expected to start in August of this year, Maloney said. The bulk of the work will be during the summer of 2020. “This is going to be a very busy

area for the next year or two,” Maloney said. Plans and specifications for the project will be prepared this spring and the project will be advertised this summer.

Dyslexia bills The Minnesota Senate Education Finance Committee heard a number of bills the fi rst week of February that would improve student reading proficiency in Minnesota, including a bill authored by Republican Sen. Roger Chamberlain, who represents the Lino Lakes, Hugo, North Oaks and northern White Bear Lake area. The bills would help students with dyslexia receive the specialized instruction they require. “One of the best ways we can improve student outcomes is by providing better dyslexia instruction and focusing on how well students read,” said Sen. Chamberlain. “Imagine 90 percent student reading proficiency. It is absolutely an attainable goal. It’s at our fi nger tips. We just need to take the next step.” Senator Chamberlain’s bill would require schools to screen students for dyslexia at the beginning of Kindergarten and no later than the end of second grade. This requirement would be in addition to screenings done to certify that students are reading at grade-appropriate levels. In addition, the committee heard other dyslexia and reading related bills. Senate File 116 and Senate File 196 would tighten up requirements for teachers seeking to renew their license by requiring specific instruction in dyslexia and dyslexia issues. Senate File 772 would provide grants to teachers so they can get proper, accredited training in dyslexia through researching fi ndings from the National Reading Panel. Senate File 733 would enhance teacher training for instructing students with reading difficulties. Each bill was held over for possible inclusion in a larger education bill later in the session.

Dead trees are essential to wildlife health BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

At a time of year when most of the outside world appears mostly lifeless, dead trees don’t stick out much. But to countless wildlife species, dead trees are an oasis of resources year-round. Woodpeckers are one of the most common birds to see in the winter landscape and one of the most famous for making good use of standing dead trees, or snags. With their specialized beaks and tongues, woodpeckers hammer at the bark of dead trees to fi nd insects that have burrowed inside for the winter. In the spring, some of the cavities drilled into the trees by woodpeckers will become nests for their offspring, for other birds, or for completely different types of wildlife, such as squirrels. Tree cavities are an essential part of the life cycle of red-headed woodpeckers, a species that has declined significantly since the 1960s. Part of the reason their population has decreased may be due to the clearing of dead trees, and a reduction in nut-producing trees due to disease and infestation. However, the highest population of red-headed woodpeckers in Minnesota is found in East Bethel, at the University of Minnesota’s Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Center. Researchers have questioned why this area is so attractive to red-headed woodpeckers, and found that their nesting sites correlate to the number of prescribed burns done in the area.

“ It only takes a closer look to observe the web of life that stretches from a single rotting log to the entire world around it.” Before modern land management practices, natural fi res were an essential part of Minnesota’s ecosystem. Many of the trees that were burned created the red-headed woodpecker’s ideal standing, dead tree for nesting. Some species are incapable of creating their own nesting cavities, relying on other birds or animals to do the hard work. These include eastern bluebirds and American kestrels, which have been helped somewhat by the effort to install artificial nesting boxes in their respective habitats. Late winter is a good time to keep an eye on small holes in trees—small owls such as northern saw-whets and eastern screech owls may be exploring roosts to select as nesting site. A closer look at some of these shadowy cavities can reveal a haunting yellow pair of eyes—or two, or three—staring back. Hundreds of other forms of life also depend on the presence of dead trees in their habitat. The decomposition

of trees returns important nutrients to the ecosystem, which feed bacteria, fungi, lichen, and an assortment of microscopic critters up the food chain. Ant colonies thrive in and under dead wood, providing a food source for a diverse array of other species. Pollinating insects such as native wasps and bees also rely on dead trees and logs for their nesting sites. Although downed logs and snags are not always aesthetically pleasing in a forest setting, the benefits of dead trees extend even into the health of the soil and ecology of local aquatic life. It only takes a closer look to observe the web of life that stretches from a single rotting log to the entire world around it.

Mustangs’ Damberg is alpine state champion

Viewettes were state qualifiers The Mounds View Viewettes qualified for the state dance team meet by placing third in the Jazz competition at Section 3AAA on Feb. 9 at Bloomington Kennedy. The Viewettes are led by senior captains Joceilyn Ahlberg, McKenna Anderson, Vivian Gao, and Vicky Li. The Jazz team has 15 dancers. Coaches are Katie Amundson (head), Maddie Lawler and Lauren Stevens. “The name of our Jazz routine is Andromeda, after the constellation and goddess in Greek mythology,” Amundson said. “The music is a very dramatic and emotional instrumental piece, which inspired our contemporary choreography this season. We are so excited and grateful to be making another trip to the State Jazz Tournament.” The Viewettes competed Friday at state at Target Center and were not among the top six advancing to finals. In the Suburban East Conference meet, Mounds View won the High-Kick division and placed second in Jazz.

Kaarl Damberg worked hard for a year to get a second chance at locking up a state championship in alpine ski. The Mounds View senior earned that reboot and made the most of it last Wednesday, speeding to the state gold medal at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. “I just was like ‘Go.’ Don’t think about last year,” he reflected, “Just think about today and just ski. Just go.” Last year, Damberg led after the fi rst run but had a rare fall in the second run and dropped to 19th place. Not this time. Damberg led again after his fi rst run, 34.57 on the red course, and held it with a 37.15 run on the blue. With a 1:11.72 total time, he held off runner-up Luke Conway of Minneapolis Washburn by .48 of a second. “I felt that I was one of six or seven guys who could all win it,” Damberg said. “The only thing that would set us apart is how much we minimize our mistakes, how fast we can recover from those mistakes, and who could keep the “pre-race jitters” away the best. Often times a racer who makes a big mistake on the fi rst run will have an extremely fast second run.” Damberg, 6-2 and 210 pounds, capped a superb senior season. He won all four Suburban East Conference meets, won the Wild Mountain Invitational, placed second in the Buck Hill Invitational, and won the Section 4 meet, also at Giants Ridge. A four-time state qualifier who placed 12th as a sophomore, Damberg was supremely prepared for this opportunity, said his coach, Erik Saari. “Kaarl is diligent in his training, in and out of season, and also has a gift to manage any

As a freshman, he missed state qualiﬁcation by one win. “He is very good on his feet, on top, and on bottom,” coach Dan Engebretson said. “He’s getting a lot pins out of his ‘snowplow’ from the top.”

anxiety and remain focused on the race in front of him. “Kaarl knew that winning the state ski meet meant not holding back. He knew the hill, the conditions, and the competition, which allowed him to conserve and drive the course where needed.” Damberg confi rmed: “It takes a good inspection of the courses and some time alone to think about how I want to ski them … There is a different course set for each run and no two courses are ever the same.” The state champion has been on skis since he was two years old and followed two older siblings on the Mustangs Alpine team. “Kaarl grew up with ski racing in his system as he had great mentors,” Saari said.

Mustangs’ Siebenaler, Stamper qualify for state gymnastics BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mounds View gymnast Taylor Siebenaler is a state qualifier in all-around and three events after her performances in the Section 4AA meet Saturday. Anelise Stamper will join her at state as a qualifier in balance beam. Both are seniors. The Mustangs, coached by Julie Coopet and Bridget Mazzocco, placed fourth with 137.06 points, among seven teams, at Stillwater. That capped a solid team season as the Mustangs were 6-2 in dual meets.

Siebenaler placed third all-around with 36.925 points, second on vault (9.65), third on floor (9.50) and sixth on bars (9.025). In her other event, she placed 10th on beam (8.75). Stamper placed fourth on beam (9.30) to qualify for state. Stamper placed seventh all-around (34.875), ninth on bars (8.775) and 12th on floor (8.75). “Taylor hit three events well. She vaulted with great determination and hit a 9.65 on her first vault. She wants to do better at state,” Coopet said. “She had a fall on beam but with her difficulty (level) she still scored an 8.75. “Anelise hit a fantastic routine on beam. She hit

all her skills with a sense of calm and confidence.” Top Mustang finishes otherwise were 13th by Ali Corbo in all-around (30.30) and by Carly Bazille on vault (8.875). Stillwater, defending state champion, won the section with 149.975 points, followed by Roseville Area 141.8, White Bear Lake 137.75, Mounds View 137.06, St. Paul Central 122.45, Tartan 108.70, and North St. Paul 107.70.

WEATHER TIDBIT

The last few weeks have been sounding like a broken record. In between our run of clouds, snow and cold we did get a few days of sun this past week. It was nice to lose a few days of the clouds to mix in a few days of sun. What happen to all the people? I drove three people to the airport this past week and attendance at Church was way down. I don’t know if they’re the smart ones or weak ones? We’re a good ﬁve weeks into our cold regime. I can’t imagine its going to last much longer. Daylight is getting longer and average temperatures are on the rise.

Henson) finds herself able to read men’s thoughts and uses her newfound skill to try and break the glass ceiling when she is looked over for a promotion by her boss (Brian Bosworth).

“NEVER LOOK AWAY” (R) [GRAPHIC NUDITY, SEXUALITY AND BRIEF VIOLENT IMAGES] [SUBTITLED] — Exceptional acting and gorgeous cinematography dominate this captivating, Oscar-nominated, haunting 189-minute film, which is inspired by the life of German avant-garde painter Gerhard Richter, that begins in 1937 in Dresden, Germany, in which an artistic 5-year-old boy (Cai Cohrs) witnesses his beloved aunt (Saskia Rosendahl) suddenly hauled away by ambulance due to her mental instability, then follows the talented painter (Tom Schilling) from 1945 to 1961 as he falls for the beautiful fashion student (Paula Beer) and daughter of a prominent gynecologist (Sebastian Koch) and his wife (Ina Weisse) and later finds his unique artist expression and success as a painter.

New map shows radon testing hit or miss across state A new online tool should help target efforts to test for radon. The odorless, colorless gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States yet only 1 percent of properties are tested every year. An interactive map from the state Department of Health shows wide variations in testing rates, as well as significant disparities. Testing rates are generally lowest in areas with more household living in poverty. In the seven-county metro, testing rates are lowest in the urban core tracts of Minneapolis and St. Paul and highest in the western suburbs. Radon occurs naturally in Minnesota soils and enters homes through cracks or openings in walls or foundations. The average radon level in the state is more than three times higher than the U.S. average. “This map is important because it helps us see where we need to target resources and improve outreach to increase testing,” said Dan Tranter, MDH indoor air supervisor. “This map can also help homeowners and

residents by showing where radon hot spots are—areas where more homes have radon levels above 4 picocuries per liter (pCi/L), the action level to fi x homes.” According to the Annual Testing Rate map from the Minnesota Public Health Data Access Portal of MDH, there were 79 properties tested annually (2010-2016) for radon per 10,000 housing units. Of these properties tested, 44 percent had elevated radon levels, at or above 4.0 pCi/L. The census tract with the lowest rate of testing had less than one property tested per 10,000 units or .01 percent. The highest census tract had 321 properties tested annually per 10,000 housing units or 3.21 percent. Homes should be tested at least every five years. For more information on radon testing and mitigation, visit Radon in Homes at www. health.state.mn.us or call the MDH Indoor Air Unit at 651-201-4601 or 1-800-798-9050. From press release SUBMITTED

National Lyme disease bill leads charge for new control strategy

WASHINGTON, DC — A Minnesota Congressman was part of historic legislation aimed at Lyme disease that was introduced Jan. 3 at the beginning of the 116th Congress. The bill would create a new national strategy on Lyme disease and strengthen federal efforts to fight, treat and prevent tick-borne illnesses. Co-sponsored by Rep. Collin Peterson, lead Democrat, the legislation's key provisions include: • Creating an Office of Oversight and Coordination for tick-borne disease at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to oversee federal efforts to prevent and treat Lyme disease. • Calls for a new national strategy on tick-borne diseases that requires the HHS Secretary to report to Congress on federal efforts to diagnose and treat Lyme and ensure collaboration between various agencies. • Promotes coordination of federal tick-borne disease activities with the HHS Tick-borne Disease Working Group. • Mandates that the HHS Secretary act to support better and expanded research on tick-borne diseases and the improvement of diagnostic testing, and promote education and public awareness of tick-borne diseases. Peterson is co-sponsoring the bill with Rep. Chris Smith, a New Jersey Republican and founder of the Congressional Lyme Disease Caucus. Their bill came shortly after the HHS

“CDC (Centers for Disease Control) announced in its Vital Signs monthly report that tick-borne disease case numbers have doubled between 2004-2016, and the U.S. is not prepared to deal with this threat —a fact substantiated by the 2017 record number of CDC-reported Lyme cases: 42,743. Factoring in under-reporting, 427,430 new Lyme cases occurred in the U.S. alone in 2017, a staggering number.” Pat Smith President of Lyme Disease Association Tick-borne Disease Working Group released its fi rst annual report to Congress that stated that tick-borne diseases have rapidly become a serious and growing threat to public health in the United States. Smith said in a press release that the bipartisan legislation creates a new national strategy on Lyme disease and better coordinates efforts across federal agencies to make sure the response is targeted and effective. “We must have all hands on deck to combat these diseases,” he said. Nationally known expert Pat Smith, president of the Ocean County, New Jersey-based Lyme Disease Association, is on the HHS Tick-Borne

Disease Working Group. She said of the legislation, “Everyone deserves protection against Lyme disease, yet Lyme has marched forward unchallenged across the U.S. for decades, disabling many including our most precious resources, our children, who are a high-risk group. “CDC (Centers for Disease Control) announced in its Vital Signs monthly report that tick-borne disease case numbers have doubled between 20042016, and the U.S. is not prepared to deal with this threat —a fact substantiated by the 2017 record number of CDC-reported Lyme cases: 42,743. Factoring in under-reporting, 427,430 new Lyme cases occurred in the U.S.

alone in 2017, a staggering number, which does not include other tickborne diseases (TBD) and disorders facing Americans.” Continued Pat Smith, “Tick vectors of disease continue to proliferate unchecked, and the recent emergence over last year of a new self-cloning tick in the U.S. that can lay up to 2,000 eggs, longicornis — that has already spread to nine states — should signal that we have a new enemy, yet we still have no idea what damage this one can do. This bill provides a plan for a national strategy under HHS to help, through research, patients already debilitated by Lyme/ TBD — fighting for diagnosis, treatment and for their very lives — and to help prevent others from facing the same fate by developing methods of tick control. The time for Congress to act on this bill is now! Losing this war is not an option: everyone is a potential casualty.” Press release

State Fair’s Space Needle has a fresh coat of paint after 40 years BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

The Space Needle will sport a fresh coat of paint at the 2019 State Fair after Vadnais Heights business Fresh Paint took on the task at elevation 360 feet last fall. The space needle hadn’t been repainted in 40 years and no one knew how the past painters had completed the task, said Larry Zack, Fresh Paint CEO. But the company is known for taking on any task no matter how difficult it may seem, he noted. They were the only painters to take a look at the job. Zack and his son-inlaw Giacomo Baglio rode the ride up 300 feet to its stopping point and climbed up a ladder and through a manhole into the white crow’s nest on top. They emerged from another manhole to see where the needle was anchored, rising 30 more feet into the air. The crew built scaffolding piece by piece with a winch and by hand. Painters Tom Prokop and Tom Earnst completed most of the painting, strapped in safety harnesses the entire time. “Up here it sways like you wouldn’t believe,”

Zack said, showing a photo of the Space Needle. “All of our guys got seasick every day.” Fresh Paint has become the State Fair vendor’s go-to painter through a connection with Don McClure, because the company had done painting for him at Buck Hill. McClure owns the State Fair sky ride and asked them to paint its columns about a decade ago. From there, McClure referred them to french fry vendors. They painted the KSTP radio tower. “And then our name got around and I got a call from the owner of the space needle,” Zack said. Fresh Paint repainted the sky ride last year as well. This summer, its workers will paint the chair glide ride columns and arches, from black to blue. Because of its connection to the State Fair, the company holds a work event there every year. The company is known around the Twin Cities. In 2016, it completed a legacy project at the Landmark Center in St. Paul. Its workers do maintenance painting at the Science Museum every year and also paint new exhibits. They paint Lunds & Byerlys grocery stores. Fresh Paint moved to

Fresh Paint CEO Larry Zack, front, and his son-in-law Giacomo Baglio work on the State Fair Space Needle to prepare it for a fresh coat of paint after 40 years.

Vadnais Heights from White Bear Township in 2015. It’s been located in the White Bear Lake area since the late ‘90s. Zack bought the business in 1996 when it was a seasonal residential painting company.

“When I bought it, I needed a full-time job, so I converted it to industrial and commercial,” he said. The company has since grown into one of the top five commercial painting companies in the metro, he noted. Baglio and his daughter Alaina Baglio have been working with him for 16 years. Zack lives in Marine on St. Croix and several of his employees also live in the community.
