War of words between county board and sheriff

An evening with The Saint John’s Bible

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

PHOTOS: ST. JOHN’S UNIVERSITY

Rev. Erich Rutten and staff of St. Odilia Catholic Church are excited to share the story of The St. John’s Bible with the community on Monday, March 6. The Heritage edition is printed on archival 100% cotton paper with a weight and feel similar to vellum, handbound with a single piece of red Italian calfskin leather with a solid silver clasp. Gold and silver foil, representing the divine, were applied in the form of pictures, letters, neat patterns and abstract shapes.

St. Odilia Catholic Church received an immaculate gift — the Heritage edition of The

St. John's Bible.

St. Odilia's is excited to share this gift with the community. The church will host a live presentation from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday, March 6.

Tim Ternes, director of The Saint John’s Bible at the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library at Saint John’s University in Collegeville, Minnesota, will introduce

guests to the story behind the making of The Saint John’s Bible and explore the tools, methods and materials used

RAMSEY COUNTY — The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners publicly rebuked Sheriff Bob Fletcher, stating that he engaged in a “pattern of disrespect and act of racism” after three board members were excluded from a recent letter he wrote to members of the board.

The county board responded to Fletcher in a letter, which said the sheriff excluded board members Rena Moran, Rafael Ortega and Mai Chong Xiong as recipients.

“He posted his letter publicly,” Chair Trista MatasCastillo said. “I heard a lot of comments from the community that said, ‘Why did he only send it to the white commissioners?’ So, the perception is there. This is an act — I’m not calling him a racist, but his actions do lay out that this was a racist act.”

Shoreview native opens Detroit-style pizzeria with a taste of Filipino flair Shoreview native Anthony Gilbert is realizing his dream of making melt-inyour-mouth pizza at his new restaurant in Stillwater.

Melt Pizza Company opened its doors at the former site of Lolito Cantina at 112 Main St. and thereby bring its Detroit-style pizzas across the St. Croix River. Lolito, meanwhile, is relocating to 241 Main St. S. “Constantly, people tell me it’s the best pizza they’ve ever had, which is the highest compliment that I can ever

get,” 31-year-old Gilbert said of the restaurant’s main menu item.

“That’s amazing for me to hear. It’s amazing to know that people feel that way.”

The location will be the pizzeria’s first permanent spot since Gilbert introduced the business in late 2021 in nearby Hudson, Wisconsin.

The eatery spent its first year and change operating as a popup restaurant, or “ghost kitchen,” primarily at Pedro’s del Este cocktail lounge in Hudson. It also made occasional appearances at other nearby venues, such as Barrel Theory in St.

MELT PIZZA COMPANY: From pop-up pizzeria to permanent place FROM PAGE 1

professional culinary experience includes working as a cook at The Nova Bar and Restaurant and later as manager of Casanova Liquors.

His career later pivoted to photography. During the six years before he started Melt Pizza, he worked as a professional architectural and wedding photographer.

The coronavirus outbreak in March 2020 meant Gilbert’s photography work was temporarily shuttered, as events everywhere were canceled or postponed. His work resumed mid-May of that year, but during the interim period, Gilbert found himself with more time to cook at home.

“I always kept cooking at home, but I started cooking more, just all day long. Pizza is something that I had never actually done,” Gilbert said. “Just because you need time to do it right, and I never had a bunch of free time. So now I had all this free time, I started playing around with it, dabbling with it.”

By his own admission, his earlier efforts to craft good pizzas at home weren’t successful. But instead of giving up, Gilbert persisted and became

“enthralled in figuring out how to make it work.”

The tricky part is the dough, he said, since pizza dough requires several hours of refrigeration before it’s ready to use. That means experimenting with pizza creations is a multiday process.

Gilbert eventually became drawn to making Detroit-style pizzas. That type of pizza is similar to deep-dish but has a rectangular shape and light, crispy crust. The defining feature is the cheese.

“It gets cooked in a pan with cheese all the way to the edges, so that cheese forms a caramelized wall around the whole thing,” Gilbert said.

His homemade pizzas proved popular among his peers. That positive feedback — combined with the fact that Detroitstyle pizza is a fairly rare offering in the region — inspired Gilbert to launch Melt Pizza Company.

Gilbert appreciates the positive reception the business has enjoyed thus far and likes how it’s grown organically from its start as a small-scale, pop-up operation.

“I had to create something and make

sure people liked it and get the demand there to get to this next step,” he said.

He also loves the fact the location is in downtown Stillwater and is just a stone’s throw from the St. Croix River.

He’ll enjoy the creative freedom that staying in one spot will afford him and his cooking staff.

“It’ll really allow me to experiment and create and do more out-there and extravagant things, like running specials and really just playing around from a culinary standpoint,” he said.

Gilbert plans on upping the business’ staff too, which has consisted mainly of him, his sister, Alyssa, and some parttime helpers. Many of those part-timers are coming aboard Melt Pizza Company full time, and Gilbert plans to build up a staff of 10 to 15 people.

“I want to have a good solid team of people that really believe in this and support this and want to be here with this and grow with me, which I think I’ve found in all of these people,” Gilbert said.

toppings — such as fresh basil, hot honey and ricotta, among others — as well as traditional and experimental flavors.

The menu also will have traditional Italian items, such as pasta, as well as Filipino dishes that reflect Gilbert’s own Filipino heritage. A couple of examples of the latter he mentioned were lumpias, which are similar to egg rolls, and chicken adobo-flavored chicken wings.

Gilbert noted that his grandmother, Cirila Eigenheer, was 100% Filipino.

Having immigrated to the United States, she lived in Mounds View. Her dream for Gilbert was that he’d one day own his own restaurant.

“I never really followed that dream, and she unfortunately passed away three weeks into COVID,” he said. “I think it was at that moment in time where I kind of fell in love with this, fell in love with the idea that maybe I should be doing something different with my career, with my path, that I chose to do this.”

Gilbert crossed the St. Croix River to live in Hudson in 1999. His previous

Ice House Season

T

he DNR has set March 6 as the date ice houses need to be off local lakes. Those with cabins further north have until March 20. Portable ice houses are still allowed as long as the occupant is within 200 feet of it. This time of year we should all think twice about being out on frozen lakes and rivers. As with any activity its good to practice leaving no trace. This means take all trash and fishing line with you, and pick up other debris from the lake. It is also a good reminder to level out the area around the shelter and don't leave ice blocks on top of the ice. If you would like to do more, be part of a lake cleanup project. Many lakes need a champion.

Plantars fasciitis fix For more than 30 years I have been challenged with heel and foot pain from plantars fasciitis. I’ve seen doctors and specialists, tried insoles, stretching exercisPublisher’s custom es, rolling frozen water bottles on my arches, padded socks, all sorts View of shock-absorbing jelly insoles, Carter Johnson pain relievers, and a contraption I could velcro on my feet at night.

Last fall when we were in Iceland soaking in the Blue Lagoon, we struck up a conversation with a couple from Australia. We discussed many topics from education, lawsuits against social media companies, gun laws, COVID, the economy, and raising children. We learned the woman was a retired physical rehabilitation specialist and he was in investment/wealth management.

We learned from our afternoon together but what stands out is the advice I got about plantars fasciitis. She advised me to always wear shoes in the house. She said when I get up to never let my bare feet touch the hardwood floor, and always have a pair of good orthopedic supporting shoes, slippers, or clogs ready to slip into. Her husband suggested Crocs. When we arrived home I bought a pair of Crocs clogs, and switch between those and a wear well-worn pair of Birkenstocks. I have not had any heel pain since. If you are suffering, try this simple advice from Australia.

87 years strong My dad, Gene Johnson, will turn 87 this week.

Orphaned and adopted by a family in White Bear Township, he started working in the radish fields as a young teen, which is now part of Tamarack Nature Center. Later, he answered an employment ad in the paper that read “looking for someone with a strong back.” The job was carrying paper up the steps of the Getty building (above the current Controneo's) for Aaron Litman, a St. Paulite who owned the Press. Working his way through different duties, the experience prompted him to buy his own newspaper in rural Minnesota, and then another, until 1970 when a widowed Mrs. Litman asked him if he was interested in purchasing the White Bear Press. Impressive, considering he never finished high school.

When he started his career, Minnesota had an estimated 400 newspapers. Today there are around 300 legal newspapers in the state, covering only 87 counties. That’s a significant ratio of newspapers per county writing local news stories, high school sports and features.

Regular readers may or may not agree with Gene's opinions on the editorial page, but there is no question he has been a fierce and fearless supporter of the community and small businesses.

He has traveled the world teaching about freedom of the press. He continues to share expertise and ideas in regular memos to our management team here at the Press.

Happy Birthday, dad!

Birding for mental health

lthough the robin gets folkloric fame for being the harbinger of spring, anyone who watches birds closely will be a little more excited by the species I saw on my drive though the farm fields this weekend—the horned lark.

These little songbirds look like quite a character, with a black face mask, butter-yellow throat and two tiny “horns,” or raised feathers known delightfully as plumicorns.

Getting Horned larks are early nestin Tune ers, and many are in the proJackie cess of making Bussjaeger their northward migration back to their summer grounds in the northern U.S., Canada and as far north as the Arctic Circle. Even though we’re in for heavy snow this week from the sounds of it, it’s an encouraging sign to see these birds, reminding us spring is not too far away.

This time of year is especially rough for many of us. It’s a time when our mental health is often at its worst. Limited daylight and hours stuck inside contribute to seasonal depression, and the effects ripple through the

other sectors of our lives.

Recently I’ve been learning a lot about how spending time in nature can benefit mental and physical health. Many people notice they just feel better in natural spaces, but there’s actual scientific research to back it up.

I’ve noticed a lot of mental (and physical) health benefits from my favorite hobby: birding. When I’m stuck in a bad mood or stressed, birding can redirect my attention. It requires close observation of my surroundings, which gets me out of those unpleasant thought spirals in my head. In some instances, it becomes almost like meditation—fully engaging the senses and rooting me in the present moment.

It can also be motivating when you don’t feel like doing much, allowing you to engage in your surroundings in a playful way.

Some people even get competitive, keeping extensive lists of what birds they see and where.

If you’re new to it, there are many free resources such as the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the Merlin Bird ID app that can help you identify the birds you see.

I’ve enjoyed using eBird, an app that lets you track bird observations and share them to a wider database that is sometimes used for population research. It’s a way to participate

in citizen science while also appreciating the beauty in the here and now. The app will even tell you where the “hotspots” are in your community, and what birds have been seen there lately.

Once you have a handle on it, birding adds a new and exciting dimension to anywhere you go.

Travel becomes more interesting. Even locations that seem unappealing—sewage ponds, for example—become the scene of intense observation.

It isn’t always easy or accessible to spend time outdoors in the winter, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy nature.

Keeping a bird feeder in your yard is one way to keep a close eye on wildlife from the comfort of your own home. Recent research has suggested that even watching a livestream wildlife camera can provide some of the same effects as actually spending time in nature.

If the winter blues are getting to you as we push through these final weeks of winter, take a page out of my book. Take a moment to notice the birds around you. It might change your routine and add some brightness to your day.

It’s the time of year when anglers and hunters need to buy new fishing and hunting licenses. Minnesota fishing, hunting and trapping licenses for 2022 expire Tuesday, Feb. 28. Licenses for 2023 are now available wherever fishing and hunting licenses are sold, online (mndnr.gov/buy license) and by telephone at 888-665-4236. Mobile buyers receive a text or email that serves as proof of a valid fish or game license to state conservation officers.

All 2023 fishing licenses become effective Wednesday, March 1. New licenses are required for 2023 hunting and fishing seasons that continue past Feb. 28.

DNR webinar to cover turkey reintroduction

The DNR invites people interested in fishing, wildlife and outdoor skills to tune in to an upcoming webinar that will feature discussions about the turkey reintroduction success story.

The webinar is at 12 p.m. Wednesday, March 1. DNR staff will be talking about the 50th anniversary of the reintroduction of wild turkeys in Minnesota and how people can get involved in mentored turkey hunts that take place across the state.

Additionally, people can now register for a spring lineup of webinars that continues through May. Webinars will cover prairie chickens, bison, loons, backyard bird feeding, turkey calling, trout fishing opportunities, peregrine falcons, cold-water hatcheries, freshwater drum, walleye fishing, baby wildlife, monarch butterfly conservation and muskellunge diets.

The webinars are part of the DNR’s Minnesota Outdoor Skills and Stewardship Series. The webinars are free, but registration is required. More information is available on the outdoor skills and stewardship page of the DNR website (mndnr.gov/ discover).

From press release

All warming houses in Shoreview are closed for the season. See you next year.

Late winter is the best time to prune trees.

Pruning during the winter reduces the risk for pests or diseases to enter an open wound and harm a tree. In spring, trees are able to heal pruning wounds when they become active as the weather warms. Oak trees should not be pruned from April through July. This is the highest-risk time for spread of oak wilt among oak trees. Oak wilt is a fungal disease that can spread from beetles moving from tree to tree and from roots that are connected underground.

THE ST. JOHN’S BIBLE: Heritage edition has a new home at St. Odilia’s FROM PAGE 1

in the creating the Bible’s original folios.

“I've done thousands of presentations — and that's not an understatement,” Ternes said. “It's very interactive, and I get the audience talking to each other about several artworks in The St. John's Bible. It's a multimedia, multiengaging presentation.”

The original handmade version of The St. John's Bible was commissioned in 1998 by the Benedictine monks at St. John's Abbey and University to mark the 21st century. The project was completed in 2011. It was designed under the direction of Donald Jackson, calligrapher for the British royal family.

“It took 23 artists and a team of 11 theologians 15 years to create this one single work of art,” Ternes said. “The original manuscript was written on calfskin vellum, which is the way it was done hundreds of years ago.”

According to Ternes, the Heritage edition of The St. John's Bible took seven years to complete. The John Roberts Company in Coon Rapids was the printing company used for the Heritage edition.

“We digitalized every single page,” Ternes said. “We took the original manuscript pages and held them side by side with the printed pages and

recreated the look, the size, the feel and even the texture of the gold on the reproduction.”

St. Odilia Catholic Church received this gift from the John Roberts Company.

“In early December, we received a call from John Roberts and we discerned it as a community and it was not a difficult conversation and we were all very excited,” said Rev. Erich Rutten of St. Odilia Catholic Church.

“We thought it was a wonderful Christmas gift for us.”

“They had an extra copy and they were wondering what to do with it, because it should not be sitting in a closet,” Parish Administrator Rick Storms added. “They decided on our parish because their former president, Bob Keene Sr., was a parishioner here who passed away 10 years ago.”

There are seven volumes of The St. John's Bible. Rutten said the first weekend the Bible was on display at St. Odilia's, there was a lot of curiosity from the congregation.

“After Mass, we had it on display and I wouldn't call it a mob, but we had a circle of people looking at it for quite a while,” Rutten said. “There is a way when you interact with art, the text and the proclamation that it is a dynamic sense of really encountering

the divine.”

Rutten noted that one dimension of The St. John's Bible is its true beauty.

“It's meant to pull you in,” Rutten said. “It's unifying and so many things are dividing us today and we need something to unify us.”

Rutten said the church community is excited about the event coming up at St. Odilia's.

“What we're excited about is to receive it for our own faith family and community — our adults, our children, our school,” Rutten said. “But it's also because we know that our church can be a place for Shoreview and our broader community to experience it.”

Ternes explained that The St. John's Bible is a gigantic communal book designed to bring people in and shared by everyone.

“This presentation is an invitation to come together with others, look at the art and have questions. And when you have questions, it often leads to conversations. And conversations lead to community.”

COUNTY BOARD: Rebukes Sheriff Fletcher of disrespect and act of racism FROM PAGE 1

Fletcher issued a response to the board and called their allegations “irrational and inaccurate.”

“Obviously, Commissioners Moran and Xiong just took office in January and only recently began serving on the County Board and can’t be held responsible for its past failures,” Fletcher said in a statement. “Commissioner Ortega has always worked with the Sheriff’s Office in a professional, good-faith manner and has demonstrated an openness to addressing the issues we’ve raised in the past.”

He also stated, “Sadly, I see you’ve chosen to ignore the substance of the letter and instead fixated on making irrational and nonfactual inaccurate accusations about its purpose. Once again, you’ve actively turned your back

on the people you purport to serve by utterly ignoring crime, an issue affecting their daily lives.”

In a press conference, Ortega said he’s worked with Fletcher since 1994 and they have a good personal relationship.

“We need to move forward with facing serious issues and we need to work together,” Ortega said. “By excluding us, I don’t see how we create that partnership that we need to make things better for our community.”

Ortega also said that Fletcher has not attended recent public safety committee meetings. “I want Bob at the table so we can resolve these issues.”

County Manager Ryan O’Connor said Ramsey County has more than 4,000 people on staff and is the most diverse operating county in the state.

“This is not the first time concerns about division and exclusionary prac-

does not apply to every part of the Sheriff’s Office.

“We have several deputies and officers that work very well with us that have a great relationship and are committed and dedicated to the work of public safety,” MatasCastillo said. “We support all of our deputies in this work.

This is a situation and a relationship between an elected office that is the heart of the problem.”

In the letter to Fletcher, the board stated the first step toward progress would be an apology to the county commissioners that were excluded from his letter.

“They deserve to know that you acknowledge your actions were not right and that, moving forward, you will provide them with the same level of respect that they have continually provided to you,” the letter stated.

tices in the way the sheriff has shown us has manifested itself,” O’Connor said. “Our public health director, who identifies as Black, felt completely dismissed and ignored the past few months when she wrote to the sheriff expressing concerns about inmate health care in the jail.”

O’Connor also noted that multiple organizations in the county have to come to the table to do the work — public health, corrections, social services, mental health support and housing.

“We know that solutions to community safety and well-being are multifaceted,” O’Connor said. “To do that we work to foster inclusive environments in which all leaders, including the sheriff and his staff, are welcomed and a part of the solutions at the table.

The challenge becomes when those moments get overridden by letters or pieces that divert from the main focus of the moment.”

MatasCastillo pointed out that Fletcher’s lack of collaboration with the board

Mounds View’s bid to reach state as a team for the first time since 2007 fell short when perennial champion Stillwater handed the Mustangs their lone setback of the season, 31-21, in the

They regrouped to get nine members into the state individuals. See separate article.

The No. 6 Mustangs beat No. 7 Stillwater 34-17 on Jan. 18 on the way to the Suburban East Conference championship. However, the Ponies (24-5) won six of the first seven bouts in the rematch and fended off a Mustang rally to capture their seventh consecutive section crown. Stillwater was missing three starters in the earlier match.

“They had a different lineup,” said Mustang coach Daniel Engebretson.

He added, “We lost the (coin) flip and it ended up being the difference in the match. Last time we overcame the flip, but couldn’t this time.” The coin determines which team sends out their choice of wrestler first.

Winning for the Mustangs were Brett Swenson at 103, Colton Loween (pin) at 152, Ethan Swenson at 160, Joseph Muhlstein (overtime) at 182 and Jacob Solheim at 285.

Dennis,16, is a polite and soft-spoken young man. Many people describe him as cooperative, helpful, and kind. Dennis makes it point to go out of his way to do a random act of kindness for a friend or stranger every day – whether it’s lending someone a pen or pencil in class or helping a stranger while out and about. Dennis excels in school and would like to be a meteorologist and storm chaser in the future. In his free time, he likes to play Magic: The Gathering and basketball with his peers. Dennis loves food and is always down for a trip to a buffet (Pizza Ranch is his favorite!).

Makaila,12, is outgoing with a big personality! Makaila enjoys making friends and having conversations with peers and adults. She has a huge heart and is very artistic and creative. Makaila enjoys being helpful around the home, especially when it comes to caring for animals, as she dreams of becoming a vet someday. She likes to stay active and loves to spend hours at the local park. In her free time, you will find Makaila working on arts and craft projects, playing with her Pop-Its collection, completing word search puzzles, or learning a new board game. She also enjoys reading, and proudly reports that she was able to read 50 books over summer break last year.

Dennis and Makaila prefer a home with pets. They will do best with caregivers who can provide structure and routine.

Following adoption, Dennis and Makaila need to maintain contact with their older sibling.

Weather Tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Wow! What a week for weather. First there was the “Storm of the Century” where there were predictions of 15-30” of snow!

Let’s call it what it is, a huge bust! I totaled 10.5” over a 3-day period. At least it was spread out and a lighter water content.

Then we just had Monday morning’s freezing rain event. My driveway was a skating rink. Other than the last week of February, it was a very dull month weather-wise. March is here and now we have snow cover to melt. Get ready. Astro note. That is Jupiter and Venus in the west after sunset. Check it out.
