BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

About 10% of Minnesotans have some Irish ancestry, according to census records, but celebrating St. Patrick’s Day is about more than genealogy. Kelly Jo McDonnell, of Lino Lakes, has more than a little Irish in her family tree, but what’s more important is the opportunity to continue on the family tradition. Considering McDonnell was supposed to be born on St. Patrick’s Day, it should be no surprise that St. Patrick’s Day is kind of a big deal in her household. McDonnel was born March 19, so the holiday has not only served as an opportunity to

SHOREVIEW — Proposed improvements to the Edgetown Acres neighborhood could come with a price tag of $ 3.9 million. The Edgetown Acres neighborhood includes the areas of Aldine Street, Hillview Road and Lois Drive. Shoreview City Engineer Tom Wesolowski gave a brief presentation of the project at the March 1 Shoreview City Council meeting. He said the current roadway conditions in the area are below average with cracks, poor drainage and patches requiring reconstruction. Pending approval of plans and specifications, construction would start in May (depending on the weather) and end sometime in September or October, Wesolowski said. The total estimated cost for the project is $ 3,859,000. Shoreview resident Janine Nelson spoke up during the public hearing and asked three questions. 1. How long will we have access to the street of our homes? 2. Are trees going to be removed? 3. Will the city take out the mailboxes and put them back? Wesolowski responded. “Typically, you would be able to access your driveway throughout the day. There may be construction in some of the areas. What's nice is you have other roadways that were reconstructed last year that you could drive through,” Wesolowski said. “When the curb and gutter is put down, it takes five to seven days to SEE STREET PROJECT, PAGE 6

New restaurant opening this summer promises 'really good food' SHOREVIEW — For the past 10 years Carly Gatzlaff has harbored a dream of owning her own restaurant. That dream is now a reality with a new restaurant, Churchill Street, in Shoreview. It all started because Gatzlaff wanted a restaurant in the community where she could hang out with friends that offered food that she likes. “I had to go to the

Cities for that,” she said. After she got married and started a family, Gatzlaff said the dream was always in the back of her mind while she was operating a fashion consulting business. “When COVID-19 hit, I made amazing contacts in the food industry,” Gatzlaff said. “I hooked up with Jonathan Gans and Josh Hoyt from Northlands Consulting, and things took off from there. They are the brains behind Churchill Street.”

Their plan is to have a counter service operation where people order their food at the counter for take-out or to enjoy while dining in. “A hostess will be there to greet people when they come in and will seat them and they can go,” Gatzlaff said. “We will still have the hands-on table experience with refi lls and taking plates. We also want a family-friendly atmosphere.” The restaurant will serve

breakfast, lunch and dinner. Gans, a former chef at the Bachelor Farmer in Minneapolis, is creating the menu for Churchill Street. A special on the breakfast menu will be breakfast burritos. “You just can’t fi nd breakfast burritos here like you do in California,” Gatzlaff said. “Our pancakes are cooked in bacon grease and are really good.” For lunch and dinner, there will

be soups, salads, sandwiches, house pickles and sharable plates. Churchill Street will have a full bar with beer, wine and cocktails. There will also be a patio for outdoor dining and a private dining room. One special Gans plans to have on the menu is a BLT with slowroasted tomatoes, smoky bacon, lettuce, pesto aioli, and griddled naturally leavened bread. Another specialty is smoked salmon toast with house smoked salmon, lemon creme fraiche shmear, dill, pickled shallots and toasted sesame. The Churchill Street restaurant is located at 4606 Churchill Street in Shoreview. Gatzlaff said they are aiming for an Aug. 3 opening. The website, churchillst.com, is up and running. “Churchill Street is going to be a great place for people to gather and have really good food,” Gatzlaff said. “This has been my pipe dream for a long time, and now it’s coming true in my community.”

Indoor gun range planned on Centerville Road Deciding he needed a career change, a property owner on Centerville Road plans to convert a facility that once checked a vehicle's exhaust emissions into Heartland Twin Cities Gun Club and Range. The proposal by Brian Kroonblawd describes expansion of a building at 4350 Centerville Road for a 25-yard, indoor shooting range and retail area to sell sporting goods

like guns and accessories. In a letter to the city, Kroonblawd wrote that he's lived in the community more than 30 years. He purchased the Centerville Road property, currently Technical Coatings Inc., after the state closed the pollution testing facility there in 1999. He was in his late 50s, Kroonblawd said, when he started thinking about the next chapter in his life.

He was considering selling the property, when Kroonblawd met up with a group involved in opening "two very nice indoor shooting ranges." He's interested in shooting sports, he said, and an indoor range was a permitted use under the city's zoning code. The property is zoned B-W or business warehouse. Indoor commercial recreational uses such as centers for fitness, golf, gymnastics and firearms and archery ranges are permitted. The stickler for Kroonblawd, as far as the city was concerned, was the retail area for gun sales. That requires a conditional use permit (CUP), which has ended up costing him a lot of money and time in attorney fees, according to his narrative. At last, the applicant wrote, he arrived at the point where he's ready to submit a CUP request to the city. The Planning Commission heard the plan

Feb. 22 and unanimously recommended approval to the City Council, as well as a variance to extend the parking lot by 10 feet into the 15-foot setback required for street right of way. The business will be managed by Heartland, a company founded in 2016 that currently manages an indoor range and sporting goods retailer in Rochester. Safety and security will be state of the art, noted Pat Egan, a management team member who attended the planning meeting with Kroonblawd. Their goal is to open by next Thanksgiving, Egan said, depending on how quickly they get required permits. Hours of operation will vary by day of the week and season, but typically the facility will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Debra Neutkens

Rotary clubs host community forum focusing on human trafficking

DNR BRIEFS Ice deteriorating quickly with recent warm weather The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources urges people to be extremely cautious on and around the ice, as recent warm weather has deteriorated ice conditions across the state. Some lakes already have large areas of open water and there have been reports of vehicles breaking through. Ice thickness varies widely across the state. In some places south of the Twin Cities, DNR conservation officers already are warning people to stay off the ice. Ice conditions near shorelines and public access sites are particularly poor. All across Minnesota, ice conditions become highly variable when the weather is warm and the sun gains strength. “Take extra safety precautions around the ice right now,” said Lisa Dugan, recreation safety outreach coordinator for the DNR Enforcement Division. “Just because a particular spot was safe yesterday – or even an hour ago – doesn’t mean it is now.” Minnesota has had three ice-related fatalities so far during the 2020-2021 ice season. Nearly every year, late-season ice results in dangerous fall-throughs when people try to enjoy the ice as the weather warms. The most effective way for people to stay safe on the ice or open water is to wear a life jacket. Anyone who ventures onto late-season ice should wear ice picks, use a chisel and check the ice thickness frequently. They also should double the DNR’s ice thickness recommendations, which apply to new, clear ice. Ice thickness varies even on the same body of water, but particularly hazardous areas tend to be around bridges, channels, culverts and streams. For more information about ice safety, visit mndnr. gov/icesafety.

Mounds View secondary students heading back to school full time

Learn about the problem of human trafficking in our community and how to protect our youth from it by registering for a free virtual community forum moderated by Angela Davis of Minnesota Public Radio on Thursday, April 15 from 7- 8:30 p.m. The webinar, sponsored by the Arden Hills/Shoreview and New Brighton/ Mounds View Rotary Clubs, will highlight the problem of human trafficking in our community. It will provide the tools parents, students, educators and concerned citizens need to keep our youth safe. Numbers on scope of the human trafficking problem vary widely due to the hidden nature of the crime, but one reliable source estimates that over one-half of the active sex trafficking cases in the US involve children. The average age of children when they are initially coerced into sex trafficking is from 12 to 14 years old. A panel of four experts will join forces to give viewers the information they need to identify the potential predators and likely victims. The panelists will also focus how to spot the warning signs in order to prevent it and how to keep our youth safe online. The panelists include Jessica Bartholomew, founder of Anti Child Trafficking United; Cynthia Terlouw, founder of Terebinth Refuge, a place for victims to recover; Eleana Lukes, a trafficking survivor; and Paul Kroshus, a police detective specializing in victim centered investigations and a member of the East Metro Human Trafficking Task Force. You can register for the free virtual community forum by going to adenhilllsshoreviewrotary. org and clicking on “register here.” In addition, you can register by scanning the QR Reader Code appearing on the event flyer being distributed throughout the community. The free, live community forum is limited to the first 500 registrants. However, those registering after that threshold will be given a link to view a recording of the event. Submitted

Turkey hunting licenses on sale now Turkey hunters can now buy their licenses for the spring 2021 season. Licenses may be purchased online, by telephone at 888-665-4236 or in person wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold. Hunters can hunt statewide and buy licenses for any time period (A-F) over the counter. For research purposes, license agents will be asking hunters which permit area they plan to hunt, so hunters should be prepared to provide this information when buying their license. The information helps the DNR manage the state’s turkey population. Importantly, hunters who identify their permit area when buying their license are not restricted to hunting in only that area. Season dates and hunt rules can be found on the DNR’s turkey hunting page. Permits to hunt the popular Carlos Avery, Mille Lacs and Whitewater wildlife management areas in the A-C time periods were distributed already by lottery only for firearms hunters 18 and older. The lottery application deadline was Feb. 12 and results are available on the turkey hunting page.

SHOREVIEW — Mounds View students in grades 6-12 will transition to a full in-house learning model on Monday, March 29. “Individual schools are working on communication and sending information out to families about the details associated with their specific returns to school,” Superintendent Chris Lennox said during the March 9 Mounds View School Board meeting. State officials recommend students and staff get tested for COVID-19 before they return to school. Lennox said families will be sent information on where and how to get tested. Staff are offered testing every two weeks. The Department of Education sent out emails last week to all educators and child care workers in the metro regarding vaccinations. “Staff have received an email or a text to schedule their first dose,” Lennox said. “Our staff will be vaccinated should they want to do that.” In other action: • The school board accepted with appreciation 20 gifts for schools and programs during this period, amounting to $13,637.26, and 28 gifts for the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf in the amount of $52,161. “We continue to receive incredible support from our community,” Board Chair Jonathan Weightage said. • Representatives from Kraus-Anderson and Wold provided an update on construction progress. Projects finished this winter include the Irondale High School fitness center, multipurpose room and a new auditorium; the Sunnyside Elementary classroom addition; and the Valentine Hills Elementary classroom addition, cafeteria and kitchen renovation. Work remains to renovate areas at Valentine Hills Elementary, which will be completed in April. “Kids are excited to come back into brand new places,” Lennox said. “The timing couldn’t be better. There’s not a lot of good that’s come from COVID. But an accelerated construction schedule is one of those things that’s been an opportunity for us.” The next regular Mounds View School Board meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 13 at the District Center.

DNR adjusts how married anglers and hunters buy combination licenses

695039

It’s the time of year when hunters and anglers are buying new fishing and hunting licenses. In a change this year, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is requiring both spouses to provide and verify their DNR customer records for these licenses. If purchasing in person, both spouses must be present. This change brings DNR into compliance with state and federal laws, and help prevent licenses going to those with violations or unpaid fines. More information about purchasing combination licenses is available on the DNR website.

Let me introduce myself

y name is Noelle Olson and I am a new staff writer for the Shoreview Press and the Lowdown. I believe in the power of a good story. I was born in Minneapolis, and when I was in elementary school my parents decided to leave the big city and move to the suburb of Maple Grove. Believe it or not, the population there was only 9,000. My passion for writing began when I was the sports editor for my high school newspaper, Changes, at Osseo Senior High School. I graduated from St. Cloud State University with a bachelor’s degree in English and a creative writing minor. It took me 10 years to get my degree, Noelle’s but I had a few life events during those years-like getting married Notes and having a baby. It was so worth the wait. Noelle Olson We lived in Ohio for about five years and I did some substitute teaching at the school district in Medina, Ohio, but was missing my family and the great state of Minnesota. We packed (our now family of five) and moved back to Minnesota. After owning a business that offered a per diem calculator and a tax service for pilots and flight attendants for 10 years, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a journalist. So, I went back to school. My kids were nearly grown up and it was fun doing homework together; at least it was for me. After getting my master’s degree in new media journalism from Full Sail University, I became a reporter for The Isanti County News and The Post Review newspapers. I later became the editor of The Post Review, which eventually merged with The Isanti County News and became The County News Review. I was there for nearly four years. My three children, Lukas, Kaitlin and Zach, are the lights of my life and I have loved watching them grow up into incredible young adults. We enjoy spending time at our cabin in Grantsburg, Wisconsin. I’ve been going up there my entire life. It keeps our family close since I have two sisters and a brother. It was great growing up water skiing, fishing and swimming. Now it’s become a great place to relax while taking a slow pontoon ride around the lake on a warm summer evening. My dad taught me how to fish since I could walk and I love it. I did the same with my kids. However, my daughter doesn’t like it too much, but my boys sure do. The fishing on the lake is excellent for largemouth bass, sunnies, northerns, and crappies. Not so much for walleyes. For me, the sunfish are the steak of the lake. Besides fishing, I enjoy golfing, tennis and spending time with my kids. My sister is trying to get me to play pickleball. I guess it’s the new craze. I’m also an avid Minnesota Vikings and Wild fan (even when it is hard to be one) and the Minnesota Twins are fun to watch as well. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing their stories. I feel like I learn something new everyday and that’s what I love about being a reporter. I am excited for this opportunity to work with the team at Press Publications and getting to know people in the community. Feel free to contact me if you have any story ideas or comments. You can reach me at 651407-1229 or email me at shoreviewnews@ presspubs.com. Noelle Olson is the staff writer of the Shoreview Press. She can be reached at 651-407-1229 or shoreviewnews@presspubs.com.

Newspapers bring sunshine into our lives

aylight saving time has returned, prompting many to celebrate with an eye toward warmer temps and the change of seasons. As if on cue, this is a great time as well to celebrate newspapers and the sunshine they deliver to all of our lives and communities. Reminding citizens and public officials about the public’s right of access to government information is the focus of “Sunshine Week: It’s Your Right to Know,” March 14-20. At its foundation, Sunshine Week underscores Movers & preserving the free flow of Shakers information for an open, effective Jim Pumarlo and accountable government. I’ve always been intrigued and impressed by reader conversations. Who chose the recipes to be included in the special section? What does it take to get a photo of my kid’s youth team published in the sports section? Where is the ad from my favorite store? When did you stop reporting class honor rolls? Why didn’t you use my quote from the meeting? How did you decide to publish my election profile on page 2 while my opponent’s interview was carried on the front page? The comments – whether a compliment, criticism or simply curiosity – underscore a common theme: Readers view the local

newspaper as “their” newspaper. Community newspapers, at their best, are stewards of their communities. The news columns are a blend of stories that people like to read and stories they should read. The advertising columns promote and grow local commerce. And the editorial pages are a marketplace of ideas. Sunshine Week coincidentally comes on the heels of the Minnesota Newspaper Association’s annual Better Newspaper Contest – a recognition of the best work among our state’s newspapers from features and public affairs reporting to photos and community service projects, spanning news and advertising content. The sparkling examples of newspaper excellence crisscross our state. The list goes on. COVID-19 certainly has changed the landscape of our nation’s economy and employment. Many businesses have pivoted and adjusted their models – and remain a force. It’s a credit to their entrepreneurial spirit and acumen. Count newspapers among the success stories. Newspapers, as our premier clearinghouses of information, have been challenged throughout history – first by radio, then by television, and then by the Internet and the digital age. They have evolved and emerged stronger. Newspapers are persevering through the pandemic as well. It’s difficult to find a product or service that is welcomed into more households and has greater impact on our everyday lives in work and leisure. Consider that 2,941 of the

3,141 U.S. counties are covered with a local newspaper. What other industry can boast nearly 94% penetration in the national marketplace. What drives the connection with readers? Newspapers inform: Trained journalists know how to ﬂesh out information not readily volunteered or available to citizens, delivering facts that frame decisions in the public and private sectors that affect people’s everyday lives. Newspapers entertain: Reports of hometown sports in stories and photos are welcomed even more during these days of spectator restrictions. Newspapers embody trust: Study after study shows that consumers place the greatest conﬁdence in newspaper ads. Newspapers stimulate conversation: Editorial pages push readers beyond their comfort zones, laying the foundation for a rich exchange of opinions. Newspapers dominate their markets: Newspapers connect with readers of all demographics through a variety of platforms from print publications to the web and digital channels. Sunshine Week is a great reminder that energized newspapers are at the foundation of energized communities. Jim Pumarlo is a member of the Minnesota Newspaper Association. He is a former editor of the Red Wing Republican Eagle and former board member of the Minnesota News Media Institute. He can be reached at jim@pumarlo.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Moller prioritizes environment

Moller is doing the right thing

State Rep. Kelly Moller has said at a few town hall meetings that the environment is usually the topic raised the most in her constituent emails. She is a prosecutor by profession, so I did not expect her to take much interest in the topic. However, I really appreciate how she has not only shown an interest but signed on as a co-sponsor of several important pieces of legislation. Climate change is already having negative effects on Minnesota, and the state has a big role to play to reduce our carbon emissions. Kelly is a sponsor of the Solar in Schools Act (HF1427) that would help school districts do what the Mounds View School District has done to produce clean energy and save money at the same time. When it comes to renewable energy statewide, she supports increasing our electricity portfolio from the current 25% renewable standard to 40% by 2025, and 55% by 2035, with a goal of being 100% carbon-free by 2040. Local residents have testified at the Legislature about the lead poisoning of trumpeter swans in Vadnais Heights, so Kelly is supporting a ban on the culprit— lead fishing tackle (HF157). She is also supporting our other local leader, Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, in efforts to extend the No Child Left Inside grant program at the DNR to encourage our kids to spend more time outside and away from screens. No legislator can be an expert on everything, but Kelly Moller listens, and has shown us where her priorities are when it comes to the environment. Thanks, Kelly!

Minnesota is once again the focus of national media for the Derek Chauvin trial. News pundits looking for ratings often portray Americans and their elected officials as members of one camp or the other when it comes to policing and criminal justice. The reality is that just about all Americans want to be safe in their communities and want all Americans to receive equal protection when it comes to enforcing the law and delivering justice. I am glad that we have state Rep. Kelly Moller as our state legislator because she is a leader in finding solutions that defy stereotypes of being for one side or the other. For example, she has specialized in justice for survivors of crimes like sexual assault (HF707), and she wants to give authorities the tools they need to prosecute those crimes. At the same time, she also authors legislation that protects the accused against abuses that can occur with our civil forfeiture laws (HF75). Her work makes sure that government leaders are not looking the other way when credible charges exist against their colleagues, such as assaults committed by law enforcement (legislation passed last year) or members of the National Guard (HF295). She wants to ensure that people who have been rehabilitated have an opportunity to have their lengthy sentence reconsidered through her bill to allow for prosecutor-initiated and court-approved sentencing reductions (HF901). That is the kind of toughness, expertise and fairness we should expect from our elected leaders. Keep it up, Rep. Moller!

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Sleeping in car leads to DWI arrest A Roseville woman, 57, faces two charges that carry a maximum penalty of one year in prison and/or a $3,000 fine for gross misdemeanor operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/ or operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or greater more than two hours after arrest. At 9:32 a.m. March 2, Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a report of a potentially impaired person asleep in a parked vehicle on Victoria Street. When deputies arrived, they observed the

subject try to pull out of a parking lot. After deputies stopped her, they observed her bloodshot, watery eyes and an empty bottle of alcohol in the front passenger seat. Based on these observations, deputies administered field sobriety tests, during which the subject lost her balance on the one-leg test and was unable to complete it. After she refused other tests, she was transported to jail for further testing. Upon consulting her attorney, the subject agreed to a breath test. Two hours after being arrested, she yielded a blood alcohol content of 0.22 on two breath samples.

harden, so residents will have to park on a side street in front of their homes.” Tree removal will be necessary if the tree is right over the sanitary sewer line or close to it. “When we get the plans and specifications, we'll go out and start marking trees so people will know which trees need to be removed,” he said. Wesolowski noted that mailboxes will need to be removed when the project begins, and it is the responsibility of the residents to store the mailbox. Temporary mailboxes will be set up during the duration of the project. The location of the temporary mailboxes is determined by the post office. At the end of the project, residents will get a notice to retrieve the mailbox they want the contractor to install. “I can't promise you this isn't going to be inconvenient, because we've lived through too many street projects in the

city,” Mayor Sandy Martin said. “But I will tell you that our staff will send a message to the contractors and we have pretty good luck with really trying to meet the needs of the neighborhoods that are affected by these projects. Once it's done, it's a tremendous improvement.” Following the public hearing, the council unanimously authorized the preparation of plans and specifications to move forward with the reconstruction of Edgetown Acres. Martin expressed her appreciation for the many years of hard work put into street reconstruction projects. “There is something to be said here. This is the last bit of street in the city of Shoreview that is being brought up to current standards,” she said. “It took 35 years, and I'm amazed we're there.” For more information on the Edgetown Acres reconstruction project, visit the city's website at shoreviewmn.gov/ services/street-projects/ edgetown-acresreconstruction-phase-2.

Fish fries: Where to get your Lenten meal in north metro For Christians, Lent is a season of solemnity, where people practice self-denial and atonement leading up to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So how do all-youcan-eat-with-all-the-fixings fish fries at local restaurants and churches figure into that? The fish fry tradition is most strongly associated with the Roman Catholic community, but churches and organizations of many denominations have participated. According to Wikipedia, the ritual of fasting during the Lent season dates back to the first century CE. The practice has changed quite a bit over the centuries — but it started as a fast. It was eventually established as a 40day abstinence from the meat of warm-blooded animals. This form of penance was meant to recognize the suffering and forbearance of Christ's 40 days in the desert while he was tested by Satan. This year's Lent season began Feb. 17 and ends April 3. Fish fries are also a way to celebrate Midwestern roots, since many places in Minnesota and Wisconsin were settled by German and Polish Catholics who did not typically eat meat on Fridays. Proximity to freshwater lakes means that a fish fry might feature fresh walleye, bass, perch, bluegill or even catfish, in addition to the more widespread choices of cod and tilapia. Press Publications has compiled a list of fish fries in the northeast metro where you can find your own Lenten meal. Many local restaurants also offer fish fry meals at this time of year.

celebrate her family history, but also her birthday. “It was always a big deal in my family, just because we are Irish,” McDonnell said. “My son is 18 and ever since he was a baby, I’ve been having a St. Patrick’s Day bash with the family.” Her son Hayden Weiner, a senior at Centennial High School, said, “My mom or my uncle has always had something fun going on for St. Patrick’s Day... as long as I can remember.” On her mother’s side, McDonnell is Swedish and Irish and on her dad’s side she is full Irish. Growing up her parents always had friends over for St. Patrick’s Day parties. “I had such good, warm and fuzzy memories about those times that I totally picked up the torch when the time came.” The parties started out large, but as the years have gone on, they have gotten a bit smaller. Of course, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the parties have had to be scaled back. This year’s it will just be McDonnell and Weiner and McDonnell’s brother Steven McDonnell and his family attending. McDonnell’s mother will also join the celebration via Zoom, because she is a snowbird in Arizona. A big piece of the party is decorations. That’s where Weiner comes in. “He kind of goes crazy with that… It’s like an explosion of green,” she said. Weiner said, “St. Patrick’s Day decorations are festive and I like that. I don’t really help out in the kitchen on the party day, but my job is to decorate the house and sometimes the yard.” Over the years, Weiner has scouted out

Kelly Jo McDonnell and her son Hayden Weiner go all out for St. Patrick’s Day. McDonnell is often in charge of coming up with the menu, and Weiner is in charge of the decorations.

HISTORY OF ST. PATRICK’S DAY St. Patrick’s Day, or the Feast of St. Patrick, is celebrated each year on March 17. It was made an official Christian feast day in the early 17th century and commemorates St. Patrick, Ireland’s patron saint, who is credited with bringing Christianity to Ireland. Born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, Patrick was kidnapped at 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but returned around 432 to convert the Irish to Christianity. By the time of his death on March 17, 461, Patrick had established monasteries, churches and schools throughout Ireland. After Patrick’s death, many legends grew up around him, including that he drove snakes out of Ireland and used the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity. Ireland came to commemorate the anniversary of his death with religious services and feast. Now, the holiday is largely a secular celebration of Irish heritage and culture.

Corned beef and cabbage – As Irish as apple pie

t’s hard to believe it’s been a year since our state made the difficult decision to temporarily shut down many of our beloved local restaurants. There were no traditional St. Patrick’s Day celebrations around town last year, and although our situation has improved, the wearin’ of the green will still be muted this year. Of course, we can still enjoy our traditional Irish favorites, as our local restaurants are open and will be serving up their Irish specialties for us to enjoy, either by dining in, or via take-out. In the past year, our restaurants and pubs have greatly upgraded their takeout and online ordering capabilities, making

enjoying your Irish Day feast as easy as ever. So, what is traditional Irish food, really? On this day of “all things green”, you may be interested in knowing that the traditional St. Paddy’s Day meal of corned beef and cabbage is no more Irish than green beer and shamrock-shaped cookies. Like many of our St. Patrick’s Day traditions in America, this dish was more an Irish-American transformation of old Irish dishes brought over by Irish immigrants

in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Irish were producing salted (corned) beef, however, almost all of it was exported. Fresh meat was considered a luxury reserved more the most affluent until late in the 19th century. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade actually took place in York City in 1762, not in Movers & New Ireland. Over the next 100 years, as Irish immigration to the US Shakers increased exponentially, these Ken Galloway new Americans brought with them their traditional dishes from the homeland. Pork was more popular with the Irish; their favorite cut being Irish Bacon, a smoked pork loin cut similar to Canadian Bacon. However, it was prohibitively expensive for the new immigrants, so they began cooking and eating beef, which was then preferred by Americans. Boiling stew-like meals in cauldrons seemed to be a preferred method of cooking for centuries in Ireland. Also, fresh fish and seafood have always been very popular along the coasts. Sadly, Irish immigrants in America were one of the European ethnic groups, such as the Jewish and Italian peoples,

who were often discriminated against in their new land. Irish working-class citizens frequented the Jewish delis, and it was there that they became exposed to corned beef. As corned beef was cured and cooked similar to Irish bacon, it became a tasty and affordable alternative to Irish families of modest means. The potato, introduced in the 16th century, was a staple of the poor, who made up over 75% of the population back then. Cabbage was also a more affordable vegetable than potatoes and when cooked together with the beef added a briny-spicy flavor to the otherwise bland vegetable, and created a hearty, easy, and satisfying dish. The dish was a hit with the New York Irish community and its popularity took off around the country. It was even served at President Lincoln’s inauguration dinner in 1862. So, however you celebrate it, have a safe and happy St. Paddy’s Day and remember to keep supporting our local restaurants. Erin Go Bragh!

Apollo Ashby, Mounds View freshman wrestler, pinned an Irondale senior state qualifier in the first period to help the Mustangs beat the Knights 53-17 in the second round of sectionals last week. Ashby has a 16-4 record at 132 pounds for the Mustangs (23-5). He placed third in the sectionals last season as an eighth-grader. “Apollo is working hard and doing the right things to improve on that this year,” coach Dan Engebretson said. “The sky is the limit for Apollo.”

all of the best places to buy St. Patrick’s Day decorations, and each year he is sure to add to their ever-growing collection. For this year’s party, the crew will have new leprechaun hats, green necklaces and festive food trays. That’s where McDonnell comes in —The food. Depending on the weather, and if the celebration is inside or outside, the menu can change. Food sometimes includes bangers and mash, corn beef and cabbage, Irish beef stew, shepherd’s pie, Irish soda bread a hodgepodge of appetizers and green desserts like S’mores (with green marshmallows) or mint chocolate chip cookies. Don’t forget the green beer for the party attendees who are of legal drinking age. Weiner says he likes all of the food except cabbage. Despite all of those home cooked Irish meals, Hayden’s favorite St. Patrick’s Day food might just be the Shamrock Shake from McDonald’s. The party always has to have music too. McDonnell said she has a vinyl record player and often plays Irish music that belonged to her parents. Last year McDOnnell’s nephew, Luke McDonnell, played Irish tunes on his violin. This year Luke’s father Steven will bring a karaoke machine so everyone can sing along to the Irish music.

Experts shed light on urban coyote behavior BY GRETCHEN NEEDHAM NORTH OAKS EDITOR

A panel of experts recently discussed coyote habitat, behavior and trends for area residents. Dr. Nick McCann of the University of Minnesota gave an overview of coyote statistics. Coyotes, whose name means “barking dog” in Aztec, have been present in North America for over 10,000 years. Adults breed from December to March; one pair usually breeds in a pack at a time. Their diverse diet includes small mammals, trash, fruit, plants and insects. More active at night, urban coyotes try to avoid humans unless they are habituated through food opportunities such as unsecured garbage bins and bird feeders. Scott Noland, a wildlife manager for the Forest Lake area, presented data showing an overall uptick in coyote numbers in the metro and surrounding areas, while a decline of coyotes has been documented in the more forested northern portion of the state. This may be due to factors such as the successful population of wolves up north, which dominate territory otherwise used by coyotes and foxes.

Small pets may be perceived by coyotes as prey or a threat to their territory. Pet owners should keep all pets under supervision whether they are on a walk or in their yard. If you come across a coyote, hazing is the best method to employ. Make yourself appear large (either by opening your coat or raising your arms over your head) and be noisy. Speaking loudly or shaking a bottle of pennies will usually be enough to send a coyote running in the opposite direction. Noland reminded the crowd of approximately 12 residents that simply seeing a coyote in a backyard is not a sign of coyote aggression. However, if a coyote does not back away if it is approached, that behavior could be construed as dominance or aggression. Ramsey County Animal Control Officer Mario Lee would like residents to contact him at 651-248-2491if they encounter a coyote (or any other wild animal, for that matter) that behaves strangely. The main takeaways from the presentation are that urban coyotes are a sign of a healthy and varied ecosystem, and that people can co-exist with coyotes by taking steps to protect their small animals and remove or eliminate potential elements that habituate coyotes to humans.

THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE COYOTE The North Oaks Natural Resources Commission has fielded some questions as to whether or not we should be removing coyotes within our boundaries. After a little research, here's what the commissioners discovered:

MINNESOTA ZOO | SUBMITTED

Coyotes are most active at night and in early morning. They sleep in sheltered areas but use dens when raising their young.

Coyotes are members of the dog family. Larger than a red fox and smaller than a gray wolf, they are gray/ brown in color and weigh about 30 pounds. Their primary foods are rabbits and mice, but they are very opportunistic and will feed on other small mammals, fawns, birds, carrion and even vegetables. Most coyotes avoid people and domestic animals, but occasionally they may also raid garbage cans and kill domestic cats and small dogs.

1. Coyote removal may actually increase coyote populations. This is because any vacuum left by coyote removal is soon filled by coyotes emigrating from surrounding areas. In addition, the social hierarchy of coyote packs is disrupted, causing pack members to disperse and allowing more females to breed. Finally, research indicates that when they are being hunted, the number of coyote pups that survive to adulthood is increased significantly. 2. Coyotes reduce rodent populations. Experiments in rural areas have shown that the removal of coyotes results in a dramatic increase in rodent abundance. As we all know, the white-footed mouse and other small mammals carry the Lyme disease bacterium that is transmitted to black-legged ticks, and then to our deer population. Coyotes help keep rodent populations in check. 3. Coyotes may slow the population growth of deer in high-density areas through their predation on fawns. 4. A increased presence of coyotes does not necessary link to an increase in Lyme disease. One recent essay suggested that low red fox populations (and thus higher coyote populations, as coyotes out-compete red foxes)

correlate with higher Lyme disease rates. However, another study suggested proceeding with caution before concluding that the presence of coyotes (or the reduction of red foxes) is the primary cause of increased incidence of Lyme disease cases in the eastern United States. Part of the beauty of our community is that we share it with the wild animals. However, if you are concerned about the presence of coyotes, consider the following advice from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR):

DO: • harass (by chasing, shouting, etc.) any coyotes that do not immediately run from people • secure all garbage containers, wildlife feeders and other food sources to prevent coyote access • confine small dogs and cats in kennels, or supervise them when outside • vaccinate all pets for rabies, distemper, parvo and other diseases, as recommended by a veterinarian

DO NOT: • do not feed coyotes • do not leave pet food outside • do not leave cats and small dogs outside unattended Kate Winsor, North Oaks Natural Resources Commission

2020 survey finds 1 in 5 high schoolers use e-cigarettes The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) recently released fi ndings from the 2020 Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey. Although the survey found that Minnesota has achieved historically low levels of youth smoking, it also revealed that the youth e-cigarette epidemic continues. One in five Minnesota high schoolers reported using e-cigarettes within the past 30 days, and 70% of youth e-cigarette users reported signs of dependence. The survey also found that 84% of high school and 63% of middle school students used a fl avored tobacco product (menthol or other fl avors) in the past 30 days. “The reduction in youth cigarette smoking is a public health success story — and we urgently need additional policies to combat the youth e-cigarette epidemic,” said Molly Moilanen, vice president at ClearWay Minnesota and co-chair of Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation. “Minnesota needs a comprehensive, all-hands-on-deck approach to protect the next generation from lifelong tobacco addiction — including high prices,

investing in tobacco prevention and treatment and ending the sale of all fl avored tobacco products.” Minnesotans for a Smoke-Free Generation is a coalition of more than 60 organizations that share a common goal of reducing youth tobacco use and ending commercial tobacco’s harm for good. The coalition supports increasing tobacco prices, ending the sale of all fl avored tobacco products and investing in tobacco prevention programs. This year, Minnesota lawmakers in both chambers have proposed bills to achieve those goals. The coalition supports bills to end the sale of all fl avored tobacco products in Minnesota (HF 904/SF1271) and invest in tobacco prevention and treatment (HF569/SF684; HF 572/SF 743; HF 1410). For more than two decades ClearWay Minnesota, the foundation created with 3% of the tobacco settlement, has provided the majority of funding for tobacco prevention in Minnesota.

We’re slowly inching our way toward the Meteorological start of spring, and we’ve enjoyed some nice spring-like weather this past week. March weather can be crazy at times and last Wednesday’s thunderstorm was a great example. Vivid lightning, hail, and heavy rain accompanied this thunderstorm. I totaled nearly an inch of rain, which means we lost out on 8-10 inches of snow, oh darn. If this warm weather continues, look for early ice-outs this year on area lakes. Nature notes: The mallards and geese have returned to Pepper Tree pond. I’ve made nearly a gallon of maple syrup and my brother-in-law is now in competition with me. I’ve had enough of maple syrup making this season.
