Why do Americans celebrate Ireland?

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER INTERIM QUAD EDITOR

Outside of the Fourth of July, St. Patrick’s Day is the only other American holiday that celebrates national pride with such fervor. Why do Americans have such a strong attachment to Irish heritage, even when they’re not Irish themselves?

The answer is: It has more to do with American history than Irish history.

St. Patrick’s Day is perhaps one of the greatest success stories of the “melting pot” view of American culture. It is a combination of old-world traditions with an added American flair, creating something new that anyone can enjoy regardless of cultural heritage.

According to 2021 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 31 million Americans claim Irish

ancestry—more than the current population of Ireland, which is just over 5 million. Many of the biggest U.S. cities were populated by Irish immigrants in their heyday, creating cultural strongholds where any excuse to celebrate memories of the old country could arise. It’s no surprise that parade and celebrations arose around March 17, the day set aside to honor one of Ireland’s patron saints, St. Patrick.

Even the foods we enjoy on St. Patrick’s Day are mainly American inventions. Corned beef and hash, for instance, is a meal heavily associated with St. Patrick’s Day, but it is not a traditional meal of Ireland. Instead, the low cost of corned beef made it an easily available food to immigrants already residing in the United States.

From its beginning in Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day was observed as a holy day to honor the man who brought

Christianity to the nation of Ireland.

Only upon coming to American shores did it become a festival to celebrate Irish heritage and serve as a great excuse for a green-themed party.

For a holiday that now includes much quaffing of beer, some might be surprised to know that the first St. Patrick’s Day parade in St. Paul was partially motivated by the temperance movement of Irish Catholics. Originally, the day included speeches, a flag-raising and a fired salute. The festivities grew bigger each year and reached a high point in 1901, when parade organizers made an arrangement with railroad tycoon James J. Hill to lower rates for the occasion. More than 4,000 people participated in the parade that year.

Minnesotans have had a strong connection to St. Patrick’s Day for more than 170 years.

For all you wine lovers out there, Shoreview will soon have a wine bar.

Owners Farzana Sharmin and Cory James Morrison of Arden Hills are naming the bar In Vino Veritas.

The bar will have wine tasting and beer. The food menu will include small plates of cheese, olives, chocolates, cured meats and light cold sandwiches.

In Vino Veritas will take over the space at the Odds and Ends Again l consignment store, located at 1080 County Road E. “Right now, Odds and Ends are moving out of the building,” Sharmin said. “We’ll be taking over about 4,300 square feet of that main level.

So that will no longer be Odds and Ends, it will be In Vino Veritas.”

Council Member John Doan asked Sharmin what the vision is for the wine bar.

“Our vision for our wine bar is for you and everybody else to come and enjoy wine while you’re off your phone,” Sharmin said. “We’ll be checking in on our guests, and there’ll be a lot of board games and card games. Our concept is just to have a gathering of friends and family and that they’re off their phone and they’re talking to each other.”

Annual poster contest showcases a community of many colors

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

The One Community of Many Colors art contest for area fourth graders was established in 1994 in recognition of Martin Luther King Day. This year the Shoreview Human Rights Commission (HRC) received 292 posters from fourth grade students at Emmet D. Williams, Island Lake, Oak Hill Montessori, St. Odilia and Turtle Lake.

Students were asked to create posters that show people of different races and cultures interacting positively together.

The top three finalists are as follows: • First place: Claire Walburg, of Turtle Lake Elementary School.

• Second place: Ishvari Kulkarni, of Island Lake Elementary School.

• Third place: Anya Maloney, of Turtle Lake Elementary School.

The other winners are Emma Schleper (fourth place), Will Cool (fifth place), Stella Terrell

(sixth place), Abby Schaps (seventh place), Seda Kindler (eighth place), Maya Anderson (ninth place) and Julia Berger (10th place). The students who received honorable mentions are Jadyn Starr, Cassidy Vang, Louisa Choi, Wence Breen, Gretchen Mensack, Sydney Sutten, Kelenn Perkins, Nora Mielke, Melissa Huang and Soham Jain.

Co-Chair and longtime HRC member Julie B. Williams noted that posters are judged on the expression of theme, clarity of message, quality of the art, usage of the paper area and spelling. “While judging the contest, commission members are unaware of the artists’ names, nationality, gender or school,” she said.

Mayor Sue Denkinger said the 20 winning posters are on display at the Shoreview Community Center.

It finally got me

I

’ve been lucky since the pandemic began because I didn’t get COVID when people around me were bitten by the virus. Well, I finally got it last week and it came on with a vengeance. I had just gotten over a cold and started feeling symptoms one day. It happened very quickly and I thought, could it be COVID? I took a home COVID test and saw a pink and blue line which means positive. I was a little scared at first but I knew there was nothing I could do about it. I couldn’t go to work and couldn’t work Noelle’s at home because I was pretty much bedridden for two days.

Notes My daughter came home Noelle Olson from work and told me she wasn’t feeling well. I had her take a test. It was positive for her as well. It was good that we had just gone to the grocery store so we were stocked up with food and water. I told her all we need to do is rest and take care of ourselves. I got to do some work here and there between fevers but it really took a lot out of me. Friends reached out to me and told me they know a lot of people that were getting COVID as well. Maybe stores and restaurants have gotten complacent in their cleaning routines. My daughter and I went out to dinner the night before and the table hadn’t been properly washed because they were so busy. I asked to have them wash it and they did. Maybe we got it there or at the grocery store. Who knows but I guess that’s part of life now. My doctor told me that it’s hard to keep up with the boosters. I told her that I didn’t get one so I can’t complain. I still have lingering symptoms of a stuffy nose and slight cough but I am on the mend and so is my daughter.

St. Patrick’s Day Whenever St. Patrick’s Day rolls around, people ask me if I’m Irish. I tell them that my great grandfather was Irish so I have some Irish blood running through my veins. When I was growing up someone’s nationality was a big deal. My grandmother was a Slovak and she married someone who wasn’t. That caused a huge rift in the family because my grandmother was expected to marry a Slovak man. I lived across the street from my great-grandmother, Baba, who was Slovak. We weren’t allowed to go visit her because my siblings and I weren’t “pure blood” Slovaks. Isn’t that crazy? I would see Baba outside sweeping her walkway and always wanted to go and say hi. She didn’t speak very good English but I was curious about her. Thank goodness times have changed. It doesn’t matter as much to people what your nationality is and that’s a good thing.

While thinking about St. Patrick’s Day I am reminded of a story I did on the Holocaust last month. Ken Engle’s parents were Holocaust survivors. They arrived in New York on March 17, 1949. There was a St. Patrick’s Day party in a park. Engle’s dad bought a shamrock button and wore it every St. Patrick’s Day until he passed away in 2010. Engle said someone asked his dad why he wore that button because St. Patrick’s Day isn’t a Jewish holiday. His dad replied, “It was the best day of my life. It was the day I found my freedom.”

Sunshine Week celebrates newspapers Sandy Robinson and Ben Carlson were part of news reports in Minnesota’s newspapers. Neither one was probably aware of the attention created by the event.

The names are fictitious, but the news – birth announcements – is regularly recordin community Movers & ed newspapers. We expect to see Shakers more of Sandy Jim Pumarlo and Ben in the coming years.

Likewise, we hope the local newspapers become a part of their daily routines.

Newspapers pride themselves as recorders of local history. I encourage all Minnesotans to join in celebrating their local newspapers during Sunshine Week, March 12-18. At its foundation, the week underscores the importance of the free flow of information for an open, effective and accountable government. The press invests immense resources to ensure the public has a close-up view.

Strike up a conversation about press rights, and many individuals likely conjure editors and reporters demanding access to top-secret data from government officials.

Shedding light on information, however, is much broader than probing into government workings. Readers may view many

reports as routine, but chronicling the lives of Sandy and Ben often represents yearslong initiatives to gain access to information. The items often find a spot on refrigerators or a permanent place in family scrapbooks.

Sandy and Ben’s births will remain part of local history. Newspapers take pride in helping families spread news of special events in their lives.

I predict Sandy and Ben will make names for themselves in a variety of youth clubs and leagues – maybe a pinewood derby or a YMCA sports championship.

Accomplishments will likely continue through high school extracurricular activities. They will understand the importance of academics and wind up on the honor roll, too. The benchmarks will be shared with their names in the newspaper.

That covers the first 18 years of their lives. The relationship with their hometown papers is likely to continue including announcements of where they decide to continue their education and accompanying scholarships.

I expect Sandy and Ben may someday decide to start their own families. Where their newspapers once proclaimed the birth announcements, the news pages will announce engagements and acknowledge weddings. The photos will be wonderful additions to family scrapbooks.

An active citizenry is the life-

blood of so many communities.

Their names will be in the news some more – an officer in a civic organization, a youth leader at church, a volunteer at school. They might even start their own businesses, which will be recognized as well.

Then the families will be planning a special anniversary celebration for their parents. Once again, the event will make the paper.

Individuals are the essence of community newspapers. After all, people make the news.

Today’s media landscape is more fractured than ever, underscoring the value of community newspapers in providing a living history of our hometowns. Many stories are easily gathered; others are more challenging. They all represent the expense of time and resources by newspaper staffs.

During Sunshine Week, we pay tribute to the millions of readers who invite newspapers into their homes each day. I speak firsthand from many years sitting behind the editor’s desk. We enjoy the relationships we’ve made, and we hope our readers do, too.

Minnesota astronaut discusses Earth from orbit

“My path to get here was simply doing what I love.

I don’t think there’s a recipe, I don’t think there’s a checklist you can ever check off to get to a place like this, but if you’re doing what you love you can’t lose.”

Astronauts aboard the International Space Station, including White Bear Lake graduate Josh Cassada, captured the aurora borealis activity from space last week.

Crew-5 is the fifth crew rotation mission with SpaceX for the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. Regular commercial crew rotation missions enable NASA to continue the research and technology investigations taking place aboard the station. This research benefits people on Earth and lays the groundwork for future human exploration through the agency’s Artemis missions, which will send astronauts to the Moon to prepare for future expeditions to Mars.

To aspiring future astronauts, Cassada gave this advice: “My path to get here was simply doing what I love. I don’t think there’s a recipe, I don’t think there’s a checklist you can ever check off to get to a place like this, but if you’re

doing what you love you can’t lose.”

All four crew members expressed their gratitude for the unique experiences they’ve been able to have, but look forward to the creature comforts they’ve missed on Earth. Cassada is excited to be reunited with his family, who have some exciting plans when he returns to the planet.

“In our family of four, I’m the only who can’t sail, despite being the only one who’s in the U.S. Navy. So when I get back, my kids have promised to teach me how to sail,” he said. The family also plans to adopt a rescue dog, and Cassada can’t wait to help his kids with their math studies.

People around the globe enjoyed the spectacle of the northern lights this month, but astronaut, physicist, U.S. Navy test pilot and White Bear Lake graduate Josh Cassada had a bit of a different view.

Cassada, one of the four astronauts in the SpaceX Dragon Endurance crew, is currently aboard the International Space Station.

The White Bear Press recently got a chance to chat with the four Crew-5 astronauts, including a former White Bear Press carrier Cassada.

The Crew-5 astronauts have been living and working aboard the station since their docking Oct. 6, 2022. During their mission, the crew contributed to hundreds of experiments and technology demonstrations, including cardiovascular health, bioprinting, and fluid behavior in microgravity to prepare for human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit and to benefit life on Earth.

Cassada described how mission commander Nicole Mann called him into the observation cupola early one morning to see something incredible—the glow of the aurora borealis over the Earth’s atmosphere.

“We just soaked it all in. We were feeling a little guilty in a position that we didn’t have the words to describe what we were seeing,” Cassada said.

The following day, the crew set up a time lapse camera and were able to capture some images of the aurora borealis over Earth. “Everybody up here tolerated me saying, hey, that’s the excited state of oxygen,” Cassada added. “That’s just quantum mechanics at work.”

Cassada went on to say that witnessing this event has been one of the biggest highlights of the mission for him. “I can’t thank Nicole enough for dragging

me down into the cupola on Monday morning and showing me the view.

When I heard that excitement in her voice, I knew it was going to be something, but I didn’t know it was going to be that. It was incredible to see that aurora.”

WEDDING SHOW: Brides invited FROM PAGE 1

dress can be a large part of a wedding budget, the wedding show aims to make one’s dream dress more accessible.

“We started this last year and had a huge response,” Multimedia Marketing Director Patty Steele said. “This year, we are looking for wedding dress donations from the last five years.”

The show, emceed by Gary LaRue, will include approximately 25 vendors covering wedding must-haves like venues, catering, officiants and flowers.

Many of the vendors have continued to return to the wedding show in order to keep their business local.

Local vendors have been a draw to the show over the years, but Press is excited to bring some new ideas to this year’s show, including a photo booth

vendor, Scherer Photo Company.

Steele said, “Not only do we have wide variety of wedding vendors, but we are local and convenient to travel to,” which explains the popularity of the show.

“You don’t have to fight the traffic downtown on these bigger shows to find parking and fight through all the people,” Steele added. “Our vendors keep coming back because they like the quality time with the brides to have conversations about their big day.”

If you’d like to donate your wedding dress, contact Patty Steele at marketing@presspubs.com or 651-4071213.

Top scorer in Academic Decathlon headed to nationals

BY PREETI MATHUR CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Charlie Neumann, a Shoreview teen and a top scorer at the regional and state levels in the Academic Decathlon competition, is heading with his team to compete in the National Academic Decathlon championship in April.

The Academic Decathlon is a scholastic team competition where students match their knowledge with students from other schools in various tests.

They complete seven online written tests in science, literature, art, music, mathematics, economics and social science; write essays; give prepared and impromptu speeches; and give interviews. The competition is designed to include students from all achievement levels and typically consists of nine members, divided into three teams based on their grade point average.

Encouraged by his mother, Neumann, a freshman at Avalon Charter (Montessori) School in St. Paul, enrolled in the Academic Decathlon offered as part of his regular school curriculum. “I love learning,” Neumann said.

In addition to the hours in the classroom and with his team, he puts in extra hours each day, especially before he takes the tests. This additional work has certainly paid off for him.

“At regionals, the maximum score is 7,000, and I had 4,100,” Neumann said. “At state, the maximum score is 10,000, and I had 6,500.”

The national competition will be held April 27-29 in Frisco, Texas. The team has started a GoFundMe

Scan the QR code to make a contribution to these young scholars.

to help them finance the trip. “We are trying to raise $18,000 and, amazingly, we have already raised $14,383,” Neumann said.

Most of the funds have been contributed by friends and family. The team hopes others can help and make up the difference.

Volunteering is a way of life for Shoreview’s new council member

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Whether it’s at work, the Rotary or for the city, Shoreview’s newest City Council member, Shelly Myrland, believes in volunteering.

“It’s the spirit of volunteering and getting involved in ‘service above self,’ — it’s the Rotary motto,” Myrland said. “I really think that where people live and where they work, and how their employer can contribute to the community, is important to me.”

Myrland grew up in the small town of Pine City.

She graduated from Pine Technical College, where she studied business and accounting and went through the legal secretary program. Her first job out of college was at a community bank in North Branch.

She worked there for 20 years, starting out as a loan clerk and leaving as vice president of commercial lending.

“My experience there was very rewarding,” Myrland said. “I was always eager to learn new areas of banking and lead projects and committees when opportunities became available. The bank encouraged me to take training in various areas of banking to deepen my knowledge as a banker.”

Myrland works for F&M Bank in Lino Lakes as senior vice president. She will celebrate her 10-year anniversary there this year.

“It is important to me to work for a bank that encourages and supports it employees to be involved in the communities they serve, and F&M Bank is very generous in that way,” she said.

Myrland and her husband Bob have been together for 20 years. Together they raised three children and have four grandchildren. Their youngest daughter, Isabella, is a junior at Mounds View High School (MVHS) and is on the varsity tennis team.

“We have always been very thankful to live in this school district,” Myrland said. “We have had great experiences at Island Lake, Chippewa and MVHS, and appreciate the standard of academic excellence

Council member Shelly Myrland holds her new granddaughter Charlotte for the first time.

and extracurricular opportunities they are known for. We also have supported the Mounds View Education Foundation over the years.”

Along with watching their daughter play tennis, they enjoy hiking, kayaking and cross-country skiing, and working on gardening and yard projects.

Myrland has been an active Scout volunteer over the years, including her service on the committee for Scout Troop 200. She is the proud mom of son Alex, who became an Eagle Scout.

“Scouting was a very rewarding experience for our family, and I encourage others to try it out,” Myrland said. “I have many long-lasting friendships that were made with other parents I met through Scouting.”

Myrland’s oldest daughter, Sarah, participated in many sports at MVHS, including cross-country skiing. Her stepson, Tony, served in Iraq and Afghanistan and is an active member of the National Guard.

“I have a great respect and appreciation for those that serve our country, their spouses and (their) family members that support them,” Myrland said.

Myrland has served on the Shoreview Economic Development Authority (EDA) since 2014. She recently finished her term on the Shoreview Economic Development Commission (EDC), where she served for six years.

“I have learned a great deal about our city by serving on these committees and am very passionate about serving on the EDA,” Myrland said. “We are always looking for new people to serve, and openings are posted regularly in the paper for those opportunities.”

In addition to Scouting, the EDA and EDC, Myrland has been a member of the Arden Hills/Shoreview Rotary Club.

“It has been very rewarding personally to work with fellow Rotarians in this community on service projects, outreach and, of course, Bingo at the Slice,” she said.

Other organizations Myrland has volunteered for include — Sleep in Heavenly Peace (White Bear Chapter), Feed My Starving Children, the PTA and the St. Croix Valley Girl Scouts. She’s also taught Sunday School and is a board member for the Quad Area Chamber of Commerce.

“I am looking forward to serving on the City Council,” Myrland said. “I will make decisions by using my best judgment, my conscience and the city’s goals that are set before me.”

5 Mustang matmen in top 4 at state; best showing ever

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER

Five of Mounds View’s nine state qualifiers ended their seasons on the medal podium at the state tournament Saturday evening, led by Brett Swenson, a silver medalist.

While Swenson was a runner-up, Quin Morgan and Jacob Solheim got bronze with third places, and Joey Muhlstein and Apollo Ashby each placed fourth.

“I thought we had a great tournament,” coach Daniel Engebretson said. “Like always, we wanted more. I thought we left a few points on the mat. Overall, everyone went out and competed at a very high level.”

Five wrestlers on the podium are a Mustang record, Engebretson said.

Their previous high was three.

Swenson, a freshman at 106 pounds, scuttled Grady Weinbrenner of Rogers 11-1, Jack Bridensine of Coon Rapids 7-0, and Nolan Enderlein of Eastview 6-3 to reach the championship match. He finished 47-3 with a 5-1 loss to Hastings freshman Trey Beissel (51-1).

“Brett is just wrestling with so much poise and awareness,” Engebretson said. “He wrestles with an attack style that we preach. One thing that makes him so good is that he is very good at all three facets of wrestling — good on his feet, on top, and on bottom.”

PHOTOS BY MARCIA LOWEEN

Brett Swenson, state runner-up at 106, tried to turn Hastings’ Trey Beissel in the finals at Xcel Energy Center.

Solheim (48-5), a senior at 285, pinned William Russell of Park Center in 4:51 and won a 3-0 decision over Alex Bacilli of Eastview to reach the semifinals, where he got pinned by Vincent Mueller of St. Michael-Albertville in 1:55.

Solheim closed his career defeating Tucker Hugg of St. Cloud Tech 5-3 and, in the third-place match, Blake Clemons of Hastings 8-5.

One of the top wrestlers in Mustang history, Solheim finished with 138 wins and three state medals. He placed sixth as a sophomore and junior.

“J Roc is a four-time state entrant and three-time state place-winner — the first one to do so at Mounds View since

Jacob Solheim closed a great career with his arm up after the 285-pound third-place match.

the 60’s, and only the second in school history,” Engebretson said in tribute.

“He is a great leader for the team.”

Morgan (45-7), a junior at 195, scrambled Derick Steinke of Hastings 14-1 and Nolan Israelson of Andover 9-1 to reach the semifinals, where he lost to Ryder Rogotzke of Stillwater 11-4.

Morgan regrouped to defeat Jackson Cercioglu of St. Michael-Alberta 14-0 and Israelson again, 8-0, in the thirdplace match.

Ashby (46-5), a junior at 160, pinned Elliott Viland of Faribault in 2:57 and won a decision against Seth Newby of Bemidji 6-3. He lost in the semifinals to Jed Wester of St. Michael-Albertville

18-7; then defeated Patrick Kubisa of Hopkins 5-0 and lost the third-place match to Jacory Bates of Eden Prairie 10-4.

Muhlstein (29-4), a sophomore at 182, got past Isaiah Schmitz of Wayzata, 6-4 and Dylan Peper of Rochester Mayo 2-1, then lost to Ezra Formaneck of Eastview 3-0 in the semifinals. He defeated Jericho Cooper of Hastings 5-0 to reach the third place match where he lost to familiar rival Cittadino Tuttle of Stillwater 3-2. That’s the third time they’ve met in post-season with Tuttle winning two.

Colton Loween (43-6), a sophomore at 152, pinned London Bui of Eden Prairie in 1:23 in the first round, then lost twice, by pin against Jarrett Wadsen of St. Michael-Albertville in 1:39 and lost by decision to Brad Little of Woodbury 4-2.

Brett Swenson was one of three brothers in the state tournament.

Brady Swenson (38-8), a junior at 145, lost his only match to Gunnar Mullen of Park 15-2. Ethan Swenson (36-10), a sophomore at 170, was pinned by Coy Olsen of Bemidji in 2:18 in his only match. The Mustangs’ youngest state entrant was eighth-grader Caden Grenier (36-12) at 132, who lost to Lincoln Vick of Waconia 11-1 and Sulley Anez of Willmar 8-2.

Mustangs’ Wallin places 3rd at state, relay team 5th Mounds View swimmers picked up two medals and scored in four events at the state Class 2A swimming meet March 3-4.

Mustang senior Josh Wallin placed third in the backstroke with a time of 50.12 seconds after qualifying with a 50.24 prelim.

The medley relay placed fifth with Wallin (backstroke), Nathan Hare (breaststroke), Steven Zhou (butterfly) and Justin Wang (freestyle) in a time of 1:35.88 after going 1:36.61 in the preliminaries.

Wallin broke the team backstroke school record that has stood since 2011, and the relay team broke the record that stood since 2007.

“The backstroke was somewhat what I was predicting, although not exactly,” said Wallin, a fourtime state qualifier who placed eighth in the event last year. “I would have liked to have cut a bit more time off and break the 50 second barrier.”

About the relay team, Wallin said, ”Our relay did fantastic. I think we are all satisfied. We all had great

individual performances.”

Wang, a senior, placed 12th in breaststroke with 1:00.32. Their 200 freestyle relay placed 14th, with Wang Theo Gafencu, Danny Bai, and Hare in 1:28.75, after advancing with a 1:27.98 in prelims.

The Mustangs, coached by Chris Yauch, placed 15th in team points.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Quin Morgan Mounds View Wrestling

Quin Morgan, Mounds View wrestler, placed third in the state tournament at 195 pounds and finished his junior year with a 45-7 record, including 31 falls.

Morgan won four decisions by large margins at state, while losing a decision in the semifinals. He advanced to state by winning the sectional. “Quin is great at all three facets of wrestling,” coach Daniel Engebretson said. “Very good on feet and bottom. Loves to compete and goes after the best competition he can find.” Morgan was 36-10 and a state qualifier last season also. He has 109 career wins with one season left.

Mustangs’ Zhou is regional Triple A winner

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER

SUBMTTED

Steven Zhou’s athletics component is swimming; he got a fifth-place relay medal at state last week.

Once Steven Zhou figured out how to manage his time — with so much he wanted to accomplish as a swimmer, musician and student — he settled into a very productive high school career at Mounds View.

So much so that Zhou, his school’s boy nominee for the Triple A Award, was named as the Region 5AA winner of the award. He’ll be one of 32 student/ athletes presented at halftime of the televised Class AA boys basketball state finals March 25.

A swimmer, Zhou recently capped his career with a fifth-place medal in the medley relay at the state Class 2A meet. He was all-conference three times and made state appearances. Zhou plays violin in the school orchestra. He was chosen for the Minnesota Youth Symphonies starting last spring. Academically, he holds a 4.45 weighted grade point average. He lists biology and math as his favorite subjects.

“I used to struggle a lot with finding a balance between the three,” stated Zhou. “I would often put high expectations on myself, not wanting to face failure (which) resulted in me feeling overwhelmed.

At the swimming section finals in my freshman year, I could barely bring myself to sit with the others at the pool, panicking in my head about my upcoming race.”

However, Zhou was able to develop discipline and self-management skills as he went along, and learned how to stay calm under pressure, and help other do so as well, he said.

“Going into the future, I’m confident to say that I will be able to keep a level head, even in stressful situations. I hope that I will be able to use my lessons in academics, athletics, and the arts to better aid myself and others.”

Zhou has also been active in Math Club, Science Olympiad, and Economics Club. He helped the math team place second in a state meet, and the Econ team place second in a state Personal Finance Decathlon, each during his junior year.

In college, he intends to major in Biology or PreMed. He has not yet chosen a college.

Registration for summer programs is right around the corner

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

It’s never too early to start thinking about summer plans — even at the tail end of winter.

Community Education of Mounds View Public Schools will hold its Summer Community Expo from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 25, at Chippewa Middle School, 5000 Hodgson Road in North Oaks.

Registration for summer programs opens at 9 a.m.

Monday, March 27.

“The nice thing about our programs is we can continue to add new opportunities online, so we are still building some that came in after the publication days,” said Karl Brown, director of community education. “By the time registration opens we’ll even have more classes in there, but it’s a really good look at what we’re doing and what we’ll have available for families.”

Adult education courses will be offered mid-June through mid-August, and include GED, English as Second Language (ESL), Career Pathways, citizenship, CDL training and driver’s education, which is designed for participants to pass the written test (behind-thewheel is not included).

Schuyler Gillespie, adult education coordinator, said online testing is available for students and the public through the Pearson Vue Testing Center.

Common tests administered include those for GED, IT certifications, teacher licensure, pharmacy technician and ParaEducator.

New classes for school-age children being offered this summer include Rubik’s Cube Club, youth bowling, middle school clay, sports skills (basketball, soccer, football), Spanish and various art classes.

“We’ve added a number of sport classes, really the experiential ones (for) younger ages where they’re not necessarily a club level or association level, but something you can try out a sport

and see if you like it,” Brown said.

There are a variety of programs being offered this summer for adults. Brown said that glass blowing will be back this summer. He noted that many of the adult programs are off-site.

“We’ve found with our adult programs that it’s a lot easier for people to travel to spaces, so identifying those places that would be fun opportunities that we can help vet and understand what the program would be and make it a good value for our residents,” Brown said.

Programs offered for families include star watching with retired meteorologist Mike Lynch, vingo (an interactive game that combines music, trivia and bingo), family nights at Wild Mountain, family clay and art nights, and family movie nights.

“We’re expanding some opportunities for movie nights out on our fields,” Brown said.

“One thing that we’re hoping for is our turf fields are great because they don’t have the same number of bugs because they are always drier than a grass field, so if you watch a nine o’clock movie, it isn’t as buggy as it could be.”

Summer enrichment and new day camp programs this summer will include the Northern Clay Center, Minnesota Cube Communities, e2 Engineers and Dash Sports.

“Some new opportunities with off-site working with Bwana Archery in Little Canada to offer some introductory archery classes and they have a shooting range,” Brown said.

Other programs include early childhood, summer band and orchestra, sports camps and clinics, and multigenerational/ family opportunities.

“We have a paranormal investigation program which is not only 101, but we also have 102,” Brown said. “If you try out the first one and feel like you need more, there will be an opportunity to build those paranormal investigation skills.

We’ll see how that one goes. I think it should be fun. We heard

some good feedback from other districts that have tried it out.”

To view the summer catalog, go to https://www. moundsviewschools.org/ Page/12345.

Other school board notes: • The estimated enrollment for the Mounds View School District for the 2023-24 school year is 11,270 students.

Bernice Humnick, executive director of business services, said enrollment data will be monitored until the start of the school year. For a chart of currently projected enrollments by school and grade, go to bit. ly/3L4m2jn.

• Upcoming summer projects in the Mounds View School District include remodeling the special education wing and the career and college center at Irondale High School. Darin Johnson, executive director of school management, said there will be districtwide painting, concrete repair and replacement, asphalt repair, parking lot seal-coating and striping, tree replacement at all locations for trees removed due to emerald ash borer disease, replacement of exterior doors and upgrading of failing card readers, and regular maintenance across district buildings.

• Kathryn O’Brien from the Bridges Program, Mackenzie Keimig from Mounds View High School and Rich Rosivach from Irondale High School are semifinalists for the 2023 Minnesota Teacher of the Year award. Superintendent Chris Lennox said they are among the 33 semifinalists throughout the state.

• School board member Jim DeMay read the list of gifts the district received this period.

There were 11 gifts for school programs totaling $3,228.57, and 16 gifts received for the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf that totaled $15,009.15.

The next Mounds View School Board meeting is at 7 p.m.

Tuesday, April 11, at the District Center, 4570 Victoria St. N. in Shoreview.

Pi Day: An annual celebration of the mathematical sign Pi

BY JACKIE BUSSJAEGER INTERIM QUAD EDITOR

What other holiday, besides Pi Day, has the whimsy to serve up mathematical constants with a side of whipped cream? March 14, or 3/14, shares its first three digits with the number pi.

It’s a lucky happenstance that “pi” and “pie” happen to be homophones—it’s difficult to imagine a math holiday holding its own without a little sweetening.

It was physicist Larry Shaw at the San Francisco Exploratorium who planned the first large-scale celebration of Pi Day in 1988.

That first celebration included marching in circles around the Exploratorium campus, followed by digging into some fruit pies. Pi Day has been an occasion to indulge in some sweets and also celebrate the complex and quirky nature of math and science ever since.

It’s been a long time since some of us have been in the classroom—it might be time for a refresher of what, exactly, pi does. Pi, named for the Greek letter that represents it, is the ratio of the diameter of a cir

cle to its circumference. If you only know how wide a circle is across, pi tells you precisely how much area it covers. It might not be something we use in everyday life, but its usefulness is all around us. It is essential in most calculations for building and construction, communication, medical procedures, music theory and spaceflight, for a few examples.

Pi is considered an irrational number, which is infinite and never enters a predictably repeating pattern. Pi Day has sometimes been an occasion for schools to hold pi recitation contests, where students are challenged to memorize as many digits as they can.

Since 2012, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has adopted the practice of releasing its acceptance letters on Pi Day, sometimes coordinating by the minute to most closely correspond with digits of pi and of the rival mathematical concept of tau.

Most are happy to celebrate with a slice of their favorite pie from one of the bakeries or restaurants around town, but perhaps Pi Day is a time to put your math skills to the test and try memorizing a few digits of pi this year.

The calendar may say Spring starts on Monday, March 20, but it’s feeling anything like Spring. Many families returned this past weekend from Spring break only to find another 10 inches of snow fell in their absence. My season total now stands at 81.9 inches and the Airport totals have moved it into the Top Ten snowiest winters. Yahoo! If we’re to get this much snow, let’s set some records. It’s mid-March. The sun is strong, days are getting longer and soon we’ll be doing more Spring-like activities.

ST. PATRICK’S DAY: A festival of fun FROM PAGE 1

However, the increasing frenzy led Archbishop Paul Ireland to halt the festivities and return the day to a religious occasion. It wasn’t until the 1960s that local business owners revived the parade again, in a tradition that has been going strong for decades. Ireland picked up the cue from the U.S. when the popularity of television made the party available to watch from across the ocean. Now, the St. Patrick’s Day festival in Dublin draws more than a million people every year.

The holiday has evolved drastically from its religious roots—today it’s much more of a party than a day of observance. An

estimate from WalletHub reported that beer sales increase by 174% on St. Patrick’s Day—and so do incidences of car accidents when revelers make unwise decisions to drive while under the influence. As always, authorities advise celebrants to make smart choices and never drive while under the influence.

Whether they are a little Irish or not at all, there are many ways for folks to celebrate—enjoy a green Guinness responsibly, visit a local Irish pub or restaurant, make a home meal or just wear a bit of green. It’s a one-of-a-kind American holiday that hopefully brings a little luck of the Irish to us all.

FILE

The tradition dates back to 1914 when Dr. Thomas Curtin, an Irish American physician, made green beer for a St. Patrick’s Day party in the Bronx.

St. Patrick’s Day: Green beer and Irish soda bread Recipe for Irish soda bread Ingredients: • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 cup cake flour (or substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour plus 2 Tablespoons cornstarch) • 1/4 cup sugar • 1 teaspoon baking soda • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 stick cold salted butter, cut into pieces • 1 large egg • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk • 1/2 cup golden raisins • 1/2 cup dried cranberries Directions: Preheat the oven to 375˚. In the bowl of a mixer, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Using your fingers, work 4 tablespoons cold butter into the flour until the butter is in small bits.

In a separate small bowl, whisk the egg into the buttermilk and pour into the flour mixture. Using the paddle attachment, mix on low speed for a few turns, until the dough is barely incorporated; there will still be some dry flour in the bowl. Add the raisins and cranberries and bring the dough together with your hands, kneading until the dough comes together and there aren’t any dry bits of flour left.

Form the dough into a round and place in a medium-size cast-iron pan. With a sharp knife, cut a large X on the top of the dough (this will

help it bake through). Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when you tap on it.

Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Remove the pan from the oven and brush the top of the bread with the melted butter.

Recipe from The Pioneer Woman

Tradition of Green Beer St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner, and one of the holiday’s popular traditions is green beer.

According to The Pioneer Woman website, this emerald drink only requires two ingredients — beer and green food coloring. It takes less than five minutes to make. The tradition dates back to 1914, when one of the first accounts of the drink was recorded. Dr. Thomas Curtin, an Irish American physician, made green beer for a St. Patrick's Day party at the Schenerer Club of Morrisania, located in the Bronx.

A light beer or any brand of pilsner or pale ale is preferred to make green beer. The lighter the color of beer, the easier it will be for the food coloring to mix in. Depending on your desired hue, you may want to add another drop or two of food coloring.

People can serve the beer with Irish soda bread or the traditional corned beef and cabbage.
