Shoreview first in northeast metro to restrict young adult tobacco sales

Vaping among youth has exploded in popularity, McFarling said. E-cigarettes and Juuls create a vapor laced with nicotine. They come in different shapes and flavors so that adults do not even sometimes recognize them as a nicotine device. They can be recharged in computers.

Over the last several years, the dark secrets of prostitution and sex trafficking in the Twin Cities metro have begun to be revealed.

Law enforcement, attorney’s offices and judges are cracking down on the demand that has led to the physical and emotional enslavement of hundreds of victims. Law enforcement personnel posing as teen girls for sale for sex have received over a hundred phone calls or texts per ad from people wanting to buy, reported Ramsey County Attorney John Choi and Washington County Attorney Pete Orput.

As part of the state’s Safe Harbor legislation several years ago, the penalty for purchasing prostitution was increased to a felony in certain circumstances.

The law is the most restrictive in the nation and only three other states have similar laws, said Scott Wasserman, public information officer, Minnesota Office of Justice Programs. “It increases the mandatory community work service the judge must order and increases the mandatory fine from $500 to $3,000,” he noted.

Most sex buyers, aka ‘johns’, buy sex between 30 and 60 miles from

About 30 local youth showed up at the Shoreview City Council meeting May 7 to encourage the council to pass an ordinance raising the minimum age to purchase tobacco from 18 to 21.

BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

SHOREVIEW — This summer, tobacco and related devices will no longer be sold to people under the age of 21 within city limits.

The change to the city’s ordinance was made May 7 in front of about 30 youth wearing T-shirts promoting the “Tobacco 21” initiative, a national campaign that has begun to influence the state. Shoreview is the sixth mu-

20 years ago, tornado tragedy built ‘community spirit’

BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

It’s been two decades since a tornado cut a path of destruction across Shoreview, touching down in Roseville and wreaking havoc north to Lino Lakes on May 15, 1998.

Winds from 70-90 mph caused vast damage across Shoreview, from Lake Owasso to Turtle Lake.

The city declared a state of emergency in the wake of the 12-mile, 1/5-mile swath of damage that was mostly located within Shoreview, according to Shoreview Press archives.

Roofs blew off of homes. Streets were impassable due to downed trees. The Flower Mart on Highway 96 was destroyed. Some residents were without

power for days.

The tornado hit Friday around suppertime, remembered Mayor Sandy Martin, who had been mayor for only two years at that point. “I just remember the incredible response of all of the emergency responders, the city employees — some of the employees were on their way out of town on fishing trips. They turned around and came back.”

Martin, City Manager Terry Schwerm and Public Works Director Mark Maloney drove around the city that evening after the storm passed to assess the damage.

“The amount of tree damage was extraordinary,” Schwerm remembered.

Identification of autism increases The Centers for Disease Control’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network reported last month that 1 in 59 U.S. children has an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This reflects a 13.2 percent increase over the previous report of a 1 in 68 prevalence rate. Boys also are 4.6 times more likely to be identified with ASD than girls. This was the fi rst year ADDM included Minnesota in its study.

In Minnesota, the prevalence rate for autism is 1 in 42, the second-highest rate of the 11 data collection sites throughout the country. Minnesota data was collected from Hennepin and Ramsey counties only. The average age of autism diagnosis in Minnesota is 4 years, 9 months.

“Though we are concerned about this increase, we are not surprised,” said Ellie Wilson, Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) executive director. “Along with an increase in diagnoses comes an increase in the need for programs and services to support individuals with autism from birth through retirement and to provide education and training to our communities.”

Some of the change in prevalence could be due to improved autism identification in minority populations, according to the study. Autism is still more likely to be identified in white children than in black or Hispanic children.

TOBACCO: ‘It is very addictive and the best thing is never, ever to start’ FROM PAGE 1

using Juuls and vapes in the school hallways and under their desks in class. Bathrooms have been closed temporarily because so many students are vaping inside. Students said raising the minimum purchasing age from 18 to 21 will make it harder for younger students to access the products since they know lots of 18-year-olds, but not many 21-year-olds.

Community members also spoke in favor of the new ordinance.

Dr. Mark Eggen, who lives in Shoreview, said Juuls create nicotine addiction despite the manufacturer’s claims to help smokers choose a better alternative. “They are not like things the medical community advocates to quit smoking — like nicotine patches,” Eggen said. “These I look at as stepping stones to using tobacco.”

Shoreview Human Rights Commission member Eugene Nichols, who is also on the Saint Paul-Ramsey County Public Health’s Community Health Services Advisory Committee, said tobacco is the number one preventable cause of death in the state. “We cannot allow the tobacco industry to prey on another generation,” he said.

Minnesota youth nicotine use increased last year for the fi rst time since 2000 due to a recent increase in e-cigarette and vaping device use, according to a Minnesota Department of Health survey. Data shows 1 in 5 high school students use e-cigarettes, a 50 percent increase since data was last collected in 2014. Those who use e-cigarettes are twice as likely to try smoking.

Nine out of 10 cigarette smokers fi rst tried smoking by age 18, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Opposition cites ‘competitive disadvantage’ The Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce opposed the ordinance because it would cause a “competitive disadvantage” to gas stations in the city, said Board Chair Andy Voorhees. Three of the city’s seven convenience stores have competition literally across the street, he said.

“You have shopping patterns that you are changing,” he noted.

He said he applauded the city for trying to protect youth from tobacco, but said the change should be made at the state level.

“I think we are delusional if we think something like passing this ordinance is going to change smoking behaviors, because we all know the power of addiction,” he said.

J.R. Fielding & Co. tobacco shop owner David Beahrs likened the Tobacco 21 law to what happened in Chicago in 1925 during the national prohibition. He said the law would just put money into the hands of criminals who will sell tobacco illegally.

“In prohibition is profit,” he noted.

He said his shop sells responsibly and doesn’t cater to the high school crowd. He said it would be wrong to not be able to sell a 20-year-old combat veteran a celebratory cigar. Beahrs left in a huff after expressing angst toward the council that the day also happened to be the sixth anniversary of a decision by a preceding council to ban smoking in his shop.

The city has 10 businesses that are licensed to sell tobacco, said Renee Eisenbeisz, assistant to the Shoreview city manager. They were all notified of the potential law change and the city heard from two who oppose the law.

The city’s Economic Development Commission opposed the ordinance, Eisenbeisz reported. The commission had recommended 7-1 not to increase the minimum age to purchase tobacco because it would put the city’s businesses at a competitive disadvantage to other cities. They said the tobacco sale age should be increased at the

JUUL | SUBMITTED

The Juul is a type of e-cigarette popular among today’s youth despite the company’s mission to help smokers choose a better alternative, not attract young people to nicotine products. The company has pledged to support the Tobacco 21 law at state and federal levels with $30 million over the next three years.

state level. A bill for a Tobacco 21 law was discussed at the Legislature this year but has not advanced.

The city received numerous letters of support from organizations, youth and residents in favor of the law change. They received three in opposition. City staff recommended the City Council approve the change, which it did unanimously.

Undivided council support: City decisions influence state Councilman Cory Springhorn said cities often lead the way to a state change. He cited as an example the city of Moose Lake, which was the fi rst to prohibit smoking in bars and restaurants years ago. The change swept to other cities and, fi nally, the state level. He said he plans to make an effort to mitigate lost sales to Shoreview businesses by trying to buy gas only in Shoreview. He said he hopes bordering cities will pass a similar ordinance.

Councilwoman Sue Denkinger said she was also sympathetic to businesses but when she heard that most youth receive tobacco products from those who just older than they are, she had to try to make a change.

She hopes the state will also change its law but doesn’t think Shoreview needs to wait for that.

“If it even saves a few lives or people from becoming addicted, I think it is worthwhile,” she noted. “It is very addictive and the best thing is never, ever to start.”

“It should be a state issue but the state isn’t ready — but we are,” added Councilwoman Emy Johnson. “I can’t consciously not support this ordinance as a parent and a member of our community.”

Councilman Terry Quigley said he grew up in the “smoking generation” and although he never smoked he has experienced health issues due to secondhand smoke. He is a former president of the American Lung Association in Ramsey County.

He also is a former member of the Shoreview Economic Development Commission. “I am supportive of business but also of the health and well-being of residents,” he noted.

Mayor Sandy Martin said she agreed with the Twin Cities Chamber

that the state ought to pass a law but noted that cities play an influential role in gaining the state’s attention.

“We waited a whole year for the state to do something and thought it might happen, but we have been told by legislators it is more likely to happen if cities continue to pass (tobacco sales restriction ordinances),” she said. “We would like it if cities in Ramsey County would follow our lead.”

Shoreview continues its ‘progressive’ status in the metro One resident said she moved to Shoreview about 40 years ago because of the city’s leadership on issues like this. “The surrounding communities look to Shoreview to follow in our footsteps,” she noted. An elementary school mother said she moved to Shoreview intentionally four years ago because it is a “progressive” community.

The city has a 30-year history of being on the cutting edge of tobacco restriction. In 1990, it was the second city in the state to restrict tobacco products in vending machines, Martin said. Last year, an ordinance limiting the sale of flavored tobac-

co products to tobacco-only stores went into effect, according to Press archives. At the time, Saint Paul and Minneapolis were the only other cities in Minnesota that had restricted the sale of flavored tobacco products to such stores.

Shoreview’s newest ordinance will become effective July 1. It includes restrictions on tobacco-related products and tobacco-related devices. Other cities in Minnesota that have adopted a Tobacco 21 law include Bloomington, North Mankato, Plymouth and St. Louis Park, Eisenbeisz said. Falcon Heights passed the same ordinance two days after Shoreview on May 9.

Five states have such laws — California, Hawaii, Maine, New Jersey and Oregon, according to the Tobacco 21 website. About 300 cities and counties across the nation have adopted the change.

JUUL Labs, the manufacturer of Juuls, has pledged to support the Tobacco 21 law at state and federal levels with $30 million over the next three years, according to its website. The company’s mission, it says, is to help smokers choose a better alternative, not attract young people to nicotine products.

May awareness

W

riting columns is not my thing. That would explain my conspicuous absence on these pages.

Still, every once in awhile I take one for the team and agree to write about something; anything.

While I mulled a topic, I looked at the Know-ItAll Calendar hanging in the newsroom. There it was: May is Melanoma Awareness Month. Voila! A subject near and dear to my heart.

By the way, May is also National Blood Pressure Month; National Chamber Music Month; National Strawberry Month; National Water Safety Month; National Bike Month; National Motorcycle Awareness Month; and National Brain Cancer Feeling Awareness Month. The list goes on.

It’s also Celiac Disease Awareness Inspired Month. There must be a lot of people Debra with this disease based on the gluten-free options at supermarkets and Neutkens restaurants. And National Military Appreciation Month. Again, with a son and son-in-law in active duty, this special recognition is gratifying. It’s also National Stroke Awareness Month and National Mental Health Awareness Month. I just read that teens are being treated for a new mental health issue: social media addiction.

Doesn’t surprise me.

Also among the list for May is National Lyme Disease Awareness Month. Readers may not know there is a support group that meets in White Bear Lake every Tuesday of the month, 6:30 p.m. at the District Center, 4855 Bloom Ave. See mnlyme.org for more information on speakers and events.

But I digress. Back to skin cancer. This worries me.

I am a member of the generation that worked hard to tan. I rubbed baby oil on my skin for Pete’s sake to burn faster. My northern European ancestors blessed me with fair skin, the type that didn’t tan without frying first, but oh did I try. I have the sun- damaged back to prove I could withstand the tropical sun while baking alongside my girlfriends during spring break. A severely blistered back made for a long ride home in a VW bug from Daytona.

Bad burns by age 18 is a precursor to melanoma later. And so I faithfully see my dermatologist once a year. I’m waiting for the day she says, “yup, that mole looks malignant.”

Skin cancer is no joke.

According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States, with the rates of melanoma increasing over the past three decades. It is estimated that this year the U.S. will see roughly 91,000 new cases of melanoma, resulting in about 9,000 deaths.

Risk of melanoma increases with age but it is not uncommon in people younger than 30. In fact, it is one of the most common cancers in young adults, particularly women.

And check the soles of your feet. The Know-It-All Calendar cites a dermatologist who states that deadly skin cancer is found to be more advanced when it is developed on the soles of the feet.

Wear a hat. Don’t forget the sunscreen. Leave the baby oil at home.

Lastly, my interest was piqued the other day by a Washington Post piece regarding noise exposure.

Seems it is becoming the “new secondhand smoke.”

In midtown Manhattan, for example, the nonemergency call service gets 50,000 calls a day. The No. 1 complaint? Noise.

According to the article, the Environmental Protection Agency says noise below an average of 70 decibels over 24 hours is safe and won’t cause hearing loss. A jackhammer is 130 decibels of noise; a chain saw, 110; a rock concert standing near the speakers is 120. Getting passed by police with sirens blaring is 120 and a noisy restaurant is 70. We won’t even talk about leaf blowers.

Skin cancer and hearing loss. Wonder what June will bring.

Keep your food safe to eat

T

he recent egg recall was a wake up call. Eggs are one of the most versatile, nutritious and widely consumed food item. Unfortunately, the egg recall was large and many people got sick. Food travels far these days, and many products under different names come from the same large production plants, which increases the number of people affected by contamination and a recall. A single product can contain ingredients from many different production sites, sometimes making it difficult to trace the source of contamination. Contamination can occur at multiple points along the path of a food before it gets to our table. Peanut butter, wheat flour, frozen fruit, melon and romaine are all foods that have been subject to contamination and recall recently. The FDA is limited in the oversight of food safety, leaving much of the responsibility to the consumer.

While the food we bring into our home has the risk of being contaminated, there are several steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of developing a foodborne illness. These safe food practices will allow us to continue

to enjoy delicious food and be nourished.

1. Cook foods thoroughly and use a thermometer to check temperatures. Bringing a food to the recommended temperature is known as the “kill step.” Even if there is pathogenic bacteria present on or in the food item prior to cooking, if the food reaches the recommended temperatures prior to being Movers and consumed, the bacteria will die and not cause Shakers illness. Do not consume undercooked foods, inMegan Baumler cluding over-easy eggs.

2. Foods that will be raw (fruits and vegetables) b eaten t ( should be washed thoroughly. Produce does not require a special wash — just plenty of water will eliminate any potential contaminants.

3. Prevent cross contamination by eliminating any contact between raw meats and foods that will not be cooked prior to eating. Prepare meats and poultry in a separate area

Anything that comes into contact with the raw meat or poultry, such as a spoon, bowl, counter, or hands, must be washed before touching anything else.

4. Wash hands and forearms with hot soapy water for 20 seconds, and dry thoroughly prior to working with food. If you have cuts or scrapes on your hands, use gloves, or do not participate in food preparation. Cuts or open wounds easily become infected with stapholococcus aureas, which can contaminate food. Do not touch your face or hair while participating in food prep. Wash hands frequently and most especially after using the bathroom.

5. Do not consume food that has been between 40-140 degrees Fahrenheit (“the danger zone”) for more than 2 hours. At this tempera-

ture for this duration of time, bacteria present in the food can multiply to an extent that if consumed, would make a person sick. While throwing out food can be painful, it is not nearly as painful as food poisoning can be. It is not worth the risk.

6. Follow directions exactly when canning foods at home, and only consume home canned gifted foods if you trust that the giver followed safe canning practices.The University of Minnesota Food Safety Extension has excellent modules on home canning and food safety that are short and easy to understand. Use these safe practices and enjoy the simple pleasure of food.

STUDENT NEWS

No rallies during school time In response to the student walkouts on April 20 approved by Mounds View High School administration and the Chippewa Middle School principal, this demonstration on school time holds those administrators, teachers and the superintendent liable for misuse of public tax dollars, regardless of the rallies’ intent. School District 612 is not in the business of organizing political rallies; this is not why school tax dollars are being collected from the public. Maybe this is why our public school children fall behind private schools in math and English instruction. Students guilty of walking out of classes should be put on probation and students wanting to hold political rallies should be doing so on their own time.

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

North Oaks • Residents were reported April 27 setting out piles of corn in yards on Edgewater Lane to feed the local ducks. Homeowners were advised that this sort of activity is against a city ordinance and in the future violators may be cited.

• A prowler took a purse and a Galaxy S-7 smartphone from an unlocked vehicle belonging to a 49-year-old La Crosse, Wisconsin, woman April 28 that was parked on Leaf Wing Drive.

While a squad was on the way, the fast-moving thief used a stolen credit card to purchase gasoline and a late-night snack. Authorities are taking a hard look at a neighbor’s video showing a pair of male teen suspects.

Shoreview • A 64-year-old local male resident stopped a deputy around noon on April 18 and asked him if he could take possession of a deceased wild turkey in the 1900 block of County Road I for “taxidermy purposes.” The resident was given the okay.

a couple arguing in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue the morning of April 21 by separating them for the day. The man was back, however, the next day and threw his 23-year-old girlfriend to the floor and kicked her. The 26-year-old Minneapolis man was quickly on his way to the Ramsey County Jail on charges of domestic assault, fifth-degree assault and disorderly conduct.

• A bench next to the walking trail in McCullough Park was vandalized with spray paint over the weekend of April 22. The damage was reported by the 80-year-old resident who donated the funds to construct the bench. “I keep an eye on it,” he said.

Authorities promised to refi nish the $585 bench.

• A thief with an apparent Lego fetish ran out of the Lexington Avenue Target store the morning of April 22 with a cart fi lled with boxes of the little plastic construction pieces. The five sets of Legos are valued at $670. The 45-year-old St. Paul suspect has a date with the Shoreview city attorney next month regarding the theft.

• A driver was arrested April 19 when she failed to move over a lane in the 4500 block of Victoria Street after passing an emergency vehicle. The 53-year-old White Bear Lake woman was cited for violating the state’s Ted Foss Law, named in recognition of the state trooper killed by a passing motorist 17 years ago on Interstate 90.

• Passersby reported a public argument at Lexington Avenue and Ingerson Road the evening of April 22; the woman was on foot and the man following her was in a white van. An investigation proved neither to be cooperative, and the 27-yearold female had no permanent address. She was jailed on a misdemeanor warrant for DWI, and the male, age not given, was cited for expired registration on the white van, which was now parked illegally.

• Deputies thought they lent a calming influence to

• Pandemonium occurred at the Exxon gas station

the morning of April 23 when a 19-year-old local man began swinging a metal pipe around and screaming that he “wanted his money back.”

Customers fled the scene, deputies arrived and the pipe-wielding man, who never made it clear what he was demanding a refund for, gave up 23 grams of the green leafy substance before heading for jail on a charge of “felony threats of violence.”

• Check your debit card charges online frequently.

A West Royal Oaks Drive resident did and found six transactions totaling $1,200 on April 23 that he had not made. An investigation is underway.

• A man with a history of harassing a neighbor in the 3500 block of Owasso Street was at it again the afternoon of April 25 when he followed the woman in his vehicle until she called 911. The 72-year-old, who is nearly 40 years the victim’s senior, was arrested on a gross-misdemeanor stalking charge and booked into the Ramsey County Jail.

• A 37-year-old man was awakened near midnight April 25 in the 900 block of Monterey Drive after he heard the sound of a tire being slashed and the sound of a car being driven away by an individual he suspected to be his ex-girlfriend.

• A wild turkey was hit by a car April 27 on Hodgson Road. “Several other turkeys (in the area) are ‘freaking out’ about their friend,” according to a recent call for service report.

• A resident on Lexington Avenue told a deputy April 27 about an injured blackbird in a fenced area nearby. The resident was provided with the phone number for the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Roseville.

County adds more sexual assault advocates

BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

ST. PAUL — Ramsey County will allocate more funds toward supporting victims of sexual assault.

Two new sexual assault advocates will be added to the Ramsey County Public Health Department to help support victims through the process of bringing their case to court, Ramsey County Attorney John Choi said at a recent press conference.

The Ramsey County Board plans to allocate $225,000 to fund the new positions.

The announcement was made in the wake of the release of a twoyear Ramsey County sexual assault systems review, which studied sexual assault cases as part of Ramsey County's “Start by Believing” campaign and sexual assault justice initiative launched in 2016. The study authored by Assistant County

Attorney Kaarin Long reviewed the ways the system could change to better support victims.

The study found through research of victim services agencies and law enforcement that many victims drop out of the court process.

“You will learn that victims oftentimes feel ashamed, embarrassed and might blame themselves,” Choi said. It is estimated about 20 percent of rapes are never reported.

For the Ramsey County study, several law enforcement agencies in Ramsey County reported information from certain types of sexual assault cases from 2013-2016. The cases mostly involved victims age 13 or older with a suspect who was not a relative, but did include spouses.

Six law enforcement agencies participated in the study, including the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

In total, 646 assaults were documented, 110 of which were from the

YOU SHOULD KNOW: Ramsey County SOS Sexual Violence Services 24/7 crisis line: 651-266-1000

Ramsey County Sheriff's Office.

About two-thirds of sexual assault investigations performed by police agencies are never presented to the attorney's office for review, Choi said. Of the total 646 cases investigated in the study, about 11 percent of them were charged. The office charged 37 percent of cases presented and 73 percent received convictions. Every case that went to trial resulted in a conviction, Choi said.

A substantial number of victims have difficulty staying connected to the investigation, Choi said. Causes could include long waiting times and a lack of support for victims to stay engaged in the process.

The county hopes the new victim advocates will help more victims

stay involved in the process. Funding of $287,000 is also being transferred from the county for two new sexual assault investigators in the St. Paul Police Department.

“I know we can realize better outcomes for victims of sexual assault and we will hold more perpetrators accountable,” Choi said.

The county currently has five sexual assault advocates. Its numbers will now be seven, said Anne Barry, Saint Paul and Ramsey County public health director. The county's SOS sexual violence services offers a 24/7 crisis line. Volunteers help on nights and weekends.

If you have experienced a sexual assault, call 651-266-1000.

The countywide campaign has reached out to college campuses and city councils across Ramsey County over the last two years to promote its message of taking sexual assault reports seriously.

Sheriff’s office nabs 46 during distracted driving campaign The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office gave 46 citations for distracted driving during a statewide campaign last month.

Statewide, law enforcement cited 1,576 people for

texting and driving April 9-22. A 42-year-old man was cited at I-694 and Rice Street for playing poker on his phone while driving.

Minnesota’s “No Texting” law makes it illegal for drivers to read, send texts and emails, and access the web while the vehicle is in motion or a part of traffic. That includes sitting at a stoplight or stop sign.

Consequences are $50 plus court fees for a first offense and $275 plus court fees for a second and/ or subsequent offense. If you injure or kill someone because of texting and driving, you can face a felony charge of criminal vehicular operation or homicide.

Texting citations in Minnesota climbed nearly 23 percent from 2016 to 2017. Distracted driving contributes to 1 in 5 crashes in Minnesota and an average of 59 deaths and 223 serious injuries each year, based on statistics from 2012 – 2016.

JOHNS: Law enforcement stings lead to convictions FROM PAGE 1

their hometown, according to a University of Minnesota study released last year. Buyers are predominantly middle-aged, married men.

In 2017, 111 ‘johns’ were convicted for offering to buy sex in the seven-county metro area, according to data from the State Court Administrator’s Office.

Northeast metro residents are among those who have been caught and convicted for offering to buy sex across the Twin Cities during stings by law enforcement in recent years.

They used to be called ‘john.’ Today, they have a name.

Shoreview In February, Shoreview resident Vishal Sookhai, 42, was convicted for offering to hire a prostitute at a Bloomington hotel last summer.

Sookhai was caught during a “john sweep” conducted by the Bloomington Police and St. Paul Police departments Aug. 24, according to court documents. The sting is designed to target people who buy sexual services online. An undercover female detective placed a suggestive advertisement on backpage.com with photos of another woman. Sookahi responded to the ad and came to the specified hotel. He paid $100 for half an hour of services.

Sookhai was then arrested by undercover backup officers. Sookhai pleaded guilty Feb. 27 to a charge of hiring, offering or agreeing to hire prostitution in a public place, a gross misdemeanor. He was fined $750 and sentenced to a two-year probation.

Shoreview resident Christopher Joseph Heinze, 43, was convicted for agreeing to hire for prostitution someone he reasonably believed was under age 18 in 2017, according to court documents.

Heinze responded to a juvenile escort ad placed online by undercover officers in 2016. They informed him the prostitute was 16 years old and he requested sexual services. Officers gave Heinze an undercover apartment address in Maple Grove, where he arrived and was subsequently arrested.

A forensic analysis of Heinze’s phone showed he was communicating with undercover officers. Heinze was charged with a felony and pleaded guilty. He was convicted of a gross misdemeanor and sentenced to a two-year probation. He was given 60 days in the workhouse, with 305 days stayed if he successfully completes his probation terms. He was fi ned $3,300 with $2,300 of it stayed. He was also required to receive therapy and undergo a psychosexual evaluation.

Vadnais Heights Jerome Christopher Burts, 28, of Vadnais Heights, was arrested during a sting by the Inver Grove Heights Police Department conducted with the assistance of a special agent with Homeland Security. Burts responded via email to an online ad in 2016 suggesting juvenile sex was for sale. A Homeland Security agent responded that it would cost $50-100 for various sexual services and that the girl was 15 years old, 5-foot-3-inches and 105 pounds. Burt continued communication via email, text and phone calls, directing Burt to a hotel room in Inver Grove Heights. Burts, who lived in Hugo at the time, was arrested when he arrived at the hotel.

He admitted to talking with a girl on Craigslist and that he came to the hotel to “have sex or whatever.”

Burts was charged with prostitution and prostitution in a public place. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.

He was convicted of misdemeanor prostitution in 2017; the second gross misdemeanor charge was dismissed.

Most sex buyers, aka ‘johns’, buy sex between 30 and 60 miles from their hometown, according to a University of Minnesota study released last year. Northeast metro residents recently convicted of offering to buy prostitution in the seven-county metro area have traveled as far as Bloomington.

He was sentenced to one year of probation and three days in jail. He was fined $300.

Lino Lakes In January, Lino Lakes resident John Paul Super, 54, was convicted for offering to hire a prostitute at a Bloomington hotel last summer.

Super responded to an undercover ad on backpage.com with stock photos of scantily clad females and asked what $200 would get him, according to court documents. An officer responded he could have “both of us beautiful women for an hour.” When Super arrived at the hotel, he received the room number from officers and laid out money by the TV. An undercover female officer asked the defendant if he wanted “full service,” and Super said “sure.” The undercover officer then gave a predetermined signal to other officers and Super was arrested.

Super pleaded guilty in January to a charge of hiring, offering or agreeing to hire prostitution in a public place, a gross misdemeanor. He was sentenced to two years of probation and fined $450.

Circle Pines Circle Pines resident Shouching Chao, 63, was convicted last year for offering to hire a prostitute at a hotel in Coon Rapids.

Chao was initially charged with a felony for offering to hire an hour of sexual services from a 14-year-old for $125, according to court documents.

He was arrested during a sting by law enforcement at a Coon Rapids hotel in 2015. The sting was focused on those seeking to buy sex from minors. Chao was one of the potential customers who responded to an online ad and agreed via text to pay $125 for an hour of services with a 14-year-old. When he arrived at the hotel, he had $125 in cash.

Chao retained a lawyer. He maintained that he did not pay attention or realize that the person was underage and was simply coming for a massage.

However, he told the undercover officer to prepare a condom when the officer asked him to bring one, according to a text message.

He pleaded guilty in 2016 to a charge of hiring, offering or agreeing to hire prostitution in a public place. His conviction was deemed a misdemeanor. He was sentenced to one year of probation and fined $700. He was required to perform 20 hours of community service; 90 days in jail was stayed for successfully completing the terms of his probation. He volunteered at a food shelf.

Blaine Blaine resident Hajrudin Sazic, 58, was convicted last year for offering to hire a prostitute on a street in Minneapolis.

Sazic was arrested when an undercover officer acted as a decoy prostitute near Lake Street East and 13th Avenue S. in 2016, according to court documents. Sazic reportedly drove past the undercover officer, made eye contact, nodded at her several times and waved for her to follow him down the street. He pulled his vehicle over and waved for her to open the door.

The undercover officer asked him if he was looking for a date. He said yes. The undercover officer asked if he wanted sex and he smiled and nodded. The undercover officer told him it would be $50, and he smiled and nodded.

Sazic pleaded guilty in 2017 to a charge of hiring, offering or agreeing to hire prostitution in a public place, a gross misdemeanor. “I offered to pay for sex to a woman I believed to be a prostitute,” was written in his petition to enter a guilty plea. He was convicted and sentenced to a two-year probation. About a year in the workhouse is stayed if he successfully completes the terms of his probation. He was fined $2,000. He was sentenced to five days of service in lieu of $500 of the fine.

Charges of loitering with intent to participate in prostitution and loitering with intent to solicit an act prohibited by law were dismissed as part of a

plea agreement.

Blaine resident Justin Taylor Dentz, 28, was convicted this winter for offering to hire a 15-year-old girl for sex during a prostitution sting in Maple Grove.

Dentz responded to an online ad on backpage.com posted by undercover officers via text last year, asking how much it would cost for a certain type of sex. The undercover officer responded that it would cost $120 per hour. The undercover officer stated she was almost 16. When Dentz arrived at the indicated address in Maple Grove, he had $120 in cash.

Dentz initially pleaded not guilty to a charge of hiring, offering or agreeing to hire prostitution from a 13- to 16-year-old, a felony. He later pleaded guilty. In an interview with law enforcement, he had admitted he agreed to pay $120 for sex from a girl who identified as being 15 years old.

He retained an attorney, who stated that Dentz has responded to the incident by expressing remorse, pursuing treatment and making efforts to regain his “true north.” He was diagnosed with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) by Veterans Affairs.

He was convicted in December of a misdemeanor and sentenced to two years of probation. He was required to perform 15 days of service or spend 60 days in the workhouse. He completed 15 days of service. He was also required to receive a psychological evaluation and counseling, attend a sex offender program, not possess any sexually explicit material and not have any unsupervised contact with minor females except relatives. He was fined $200.

The state prosecutor has appealed the lower conviction.

The Edison at Rice Creek will include apartments, townhomes and carriage houses, which have garage stalls below the living area.

New development approved

CITY OF SHOREVIEW | SUBMITTED

SHOREVIEW — A new apartment and townhome development in the northern part of the city received approval from the City Council May 7.

The 18.5-acre parcel is located near I-35W and Rice Creek Parkway, in the Rice Creek Corporate Park area.

“It is our last remaining large vacant parcel in the city,” said City Planner Kathleen Castle. “It would expand housing choices in the city and would expand our rental options, especially in the northern end of town.”

The parcel was slated to be a north campus of Children’s Hospital but the hospital sold the land as it was no longer interested in a campus at the site. JPL Development proposed a residential and commercial use of the land to the City Council last year.

The council expressed some concerns about the density of the project, which proposed 74 townhomes, 312 apart-

ment units and a 100-room hotel with an attached restaurant. JPL came back with an adjusted plan.

The plan now includes 68 townhomes, 300 apartment units and some carriage houses. Parking was moved underground for the apartment buildings. More green space and a pool area were added. The hotel was removed from the plan but a part of the land will remain vacant for potential commercial development, perhaps a restaurant, which nearby residents are interested in, a JPL representative said.

The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, preliminary plat and planned unit development.

The City Council unanimously approved it as well, with the condition that the developer would work with the city to set aside 5 percent of the units as affordable housing.

New fi re truck for Lake Johanna Fire Department The Lake Johanna Fire Department (LJFD) received its new fire truck.

It was purchased jointly by the cities of Shoreview, Arden Hills and North Oaks.

In 2016, a fire truck committee, made up of six to eight firefighters, spent several months determining the exact

specifications for the new truck. Once the specs had been reviewed by all who needed to see them, the committee sent their finalized order to two manufacturers to bid on the truck. The company that was ultimately chosen to build the truck, Rosenbauer, is located in Wyoming, Minnesota.

One of the fire truck committee’s goals was to streamline the truck and its efficiencies. It also wanted to make sure the new truck reflected the LJFD’s new logo and rebranding efforts. There are fewer moving parts and the truck is easier to use. It is shorter in length, so it is more easily maneuvered. The inside of the truck was configured to better carry equipment and the new pump requires fewer steps to start it.

All of the lights are LED, so the truck has longer term reliability and durability. It also seats five fi refighters, rather than four. All of the LJFD fi refighters have been trained and certifi ed to drive this truck.

The truck cost $600,000 and $100,000 of equipment was added, which includes rescue tools, air packs and hoses.

The truck holds 920 gallons of water and 30 gallons of foam. It is a multi-mission truck and can be used for any kind of emergency — it is a rescue pumper, it makes EMS calls, it can be sent to car accidents and water emergencies. No other truck can be used to respond to all of those emergencies.

Probably the most striking touch on the truck is the custom-de-

This “thin red line fl ag” carries special meaning for all fi refighters and their families and friends. Firefighters live with peril every day, and

they place their lives on the line for the safety and security of the communities that they serve and protect. They must face their own fears and grasp for every ounce of courage to perform the necessary task at hand.

The Thin Red Line is a symbol to show respect for fi refighters injured

and killed in the line of duty.

The Lake Johanna Fire Department has open houses periodically for people and their families. This special fi re truck will be a popular attraction.

World Triathlon Ken Hola of Shoreview, recently qualified for the October World Triathlon Championships in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. A triathlon consists of a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and a 26.2-mile marathon. Ken placed first in the 75-79 age group at the April Ironman North American Championships in Houston, Texas which qualified him for the world championships. He competed with his son Tim who has completed 16 Ironman World Triathlon Championships.

Mounds View tennis has been taking on the top teams in the metro area and coming out on top.

In fact, the Mustangs are 16-1 and ranked No. 1 in Class 2A. “Yes, we are having a good year.

Number one in the state. We are very excited,” said Petro Alex, a five-year veteran who plays No. 1 singles. “It should be an interesting state tournament.”

If the Mustangs avoid upset in the sectionals, they’ll try to improve on the last three years at state when they’ve been runner-up once and fi nished third twice.

“We knew it was going to be a very close competition with Roseville,” said Aaron Redman, co-head coach with Scott Yikanen.

“Overall it came down to the fact that they competed better then we did. We had a couple areas where we did not perform as well as we needed. Need to use that as motivation for our next competition.”

Mustang junior Julia Fixsen, who leads the state honor roll with a 13-9 pole vault, won that event by two feet with 136. Fixsen was also second in long jump (16-11), 100 hurdles (15.95) and high jump (5-4).

“The Edina tournament was a big victory,” coach Scott Sundstrom said. “We beat every opponent on their home court — Minnetonka, Blake, and Edina.”

Petro Alex, a junior, and Bjorn Swenson, an eighth-grader, are ranked in the top 10 individually.

Sundstrom is rotating 13 players.

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com

Forget it

Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.

“THE 12TH MAN” (NR) (4) [SUBTITLED] — After the Gestapo capture eleven Norwegian resistance fighters (Vegar Hoel, Daniel Frikstad, Håkon T. Nielsen, Eirik Risholm Velle, Eric Dirnes, et al.), who were trained in Scotland, in March 1943 in this gripping, intense, factually based, well-acted, gut-wrenching, 135-minute thriller based Petter Skavlan’s novel, last tenacious, stubborn surviving Norwegian team member Jan Baalsrud (Thomas Gullestad) is helped throughout his harrowing journey by many brave people (Mads Sjøgård Pettersen, Marie Blokhus, Kim Jøran Olsen, et al.) as he struggles to evade an ambitious Nazi officer (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and his men to make it to neutral Sweden with vital information during WWII.

“DISOBEDIENCE” (R) (3) [SOME STRONG SEXUALITY.] — After her estranged Orthodox Jewish rabbi father (Nicholas Woodeson) suddenly dies of pneumonia in this well-acted, multilayered, bittersweet, unevenly paced, star-dotted (Anton Lesser and Allan Corduner), 114-minute film based on Naomi Alderman’s novel, a liberated, passionate, bisexual New York City photographer (Rachel Weisz) heads to London for the funeral despite being shunned years earlier and tries to rekindle a relationship with a repressed schoolteacher (Rachel McAdams) who is in a stifling marriage to a strict rabbi Jewish rabbi (Alessandro Nivola).

Temperatures cooled down somewhat last week but it wasn’t anything we couldn’t handle. The weekend was pleasant enough, which included a couple big events — fishing opener and Mother’s Day. For much of the state the fishing opener was dry, but a bit on the cool side.

If you were out of town, you missed an annoying light rain during the evening hours on Saturday. The rain, not heavy, was just enough to send you indoors for a spell.

On Mother’s Day, Sunday, well you couldn’t have asked for better weather conditions….mostly sunny, low 70’s and light winds. Despite some hot temperatures to start the work week, we’re expecting some cooler temperatures for the weekend. Nothing we can’t handle.

Did you know?

“Never odd or even” spelled backward is still “Never odd or even.”

“KINGS” (R) (2.5) [VIOLENCE, SEXUAL CONTENT/NUDITY, AND LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT.] — After an Asian convenience store owner is acquitted of killing an Africa-American girl for trying to rob her store of a bottle of orange juice in 1991 followed by the acquittal of four policemen in 1992 for the brutal beating of Rodney King that contributes to the horrific riots and fires in Los Angeles in this factually inspired, violent, well-acted, 92-minute film, a strongwilled, single mother (Halle Berry) who is caring for eight children (Lamar Johnson, et al.) is helped by her wild neighbor (Daniel Craig) when some of her brood go missing during the riots in South Central Los Angeles.

“OVERBOARD” (PG-13) (3) [SUGGESTIVE MATERIAL, PARTIAL NUDITY, AND SOME LANGUAGE.] — After a snobbish Mexican billionaire (Eugenio Derbez) accidentally falls from his yacht and winds up with retrograde amnesia off the coast of Oregon in this entertaining, fun-filled, witty, star-dotted (Eva Longoria, Swoosie Kurtz and John Hannah), 112-minute remake of the 1987 comedy, a hardworking mom (Anna Faris), who has three precocious daughters (Hannah Nordberg, Alyvia Alyn Lind and Payton Lepinski) and is studying to be a nurse, gets payback after the mean-spirited, entitled bachelor threw her and her carpet cleaning equipment overboard and tells him that he has been married to her for 15 years, has three children, and has a job as a blue collar worker.

MAY 15, 2018 www.presspubs.com

TORNADO: 5,000 to 7,000 trees lost across the city earlier in the day before the tornado hit. The house was destroyed.

Trees were downed across the northeast metro but there were no deaths or injuries.

“We were so lucky we didn’t have any fatalities and no real injuries,” Martin said. “I think we learned trees can be replanted, but we were fortunate because we didn’t have any fatalities. You can rebuild houses and people in your neighborhood can help.”

Shoreview received state and federal support due to about $500,000 in public damage. The long and narrow city, which runs north and south, had sustained most of the damage from the tornado, Martin said.

“There was straight-line wind damage all around the city,” Schwerm said. “It was declared a disaster area by FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency).”

Neighboring cities came together during the disaster.

Vadnais Heights fi refighters volunteered to give 150 Lake Johanna fi refighters a break in the wake of the tornado, reported the Shoreview Press.

“These kinds of things remind you what community is all about,” Martin said.

“The night of the event and next day a number of other cities offered to help us do work,” Schwerm remembered. “It really shows what a community spirit or regional spirit that our neighboring communities have.”

Shoreview was declared a disaster area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The city chipped wood for six weeks, Martin remembered: “Chipping and chipping and chipping.” Mulch was made available to residents and some of the chipped debris went to a facility to be processed for fuel.

The city hosted a tree sale that spring considering so many trees had been lost; it continues to this day, Maloney said.

About 200 trees were downed in Snail Lake Regional Park. The park had just been redeveloped by Ramsey County the year before with a parking lot that wound

age, reported the Pioneer Press. Restaurants and the Red Cross provided food for displaced families. A few families accepted Red Cross assistance to stay in a hotel.

Between 5,000 and 7,000 trees were lost.

“For the next couple of years, there were literally thousands of roof replacements all around the city,” Schwerm said.

Homes in North Oaks, Lino Lakes and Circle Pines were also destroyed or damaged, reported the Pioneer Press.

One family in Lino Lakes had just closed on their new home

around the park’s 100-yearold oak trees, reported the Pioneer Press.

The county had worked hard to protect oak trees on the site from being uprooted, per public request. The tornado uprooted them instead.

“There were trees down all over the park which they had worked to protect,” remembered City Manager Terry Schwerm. The park’s year-old pavilion was also destroyed.

Shoreview was rebuilding for at least a year. Nineteen homes were destroyed, 130 were severely damaged and about 400 had minor dam-

“It was kind of heartbreaking,” Maloney remembered.

Martin remembers seeing neighbors already outside rallying to help each other.

About 450,000 people lost power at least briefly across the metro, according to Northern States Power Company, now Xcel Energy. It was the largest outage in the metro’s history up to that time. About 18,500 homes were without power for four days, mostly in Shoreview and Shorewood, where the storm affected the west metro, reported the Pioneer Press. The Five Star Mobile Park in Vadnais Heights was also without power and an emergency generator was brought in to keep its well running. Line crews worked 16-hour shifts to restore power due to all the downed lines.

The city hired contractors to work long hours to clear roadways that were blocked by fallen trees, Maloney said.

The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office and Lake Johanna fi refighters helped direct traffic.

The city put dumpsters out in some neighborhoods to collect brush and pieces of houses that had flown off. In other areas, the city picked up debris from the curb for weeks. It was the days before social media, and Schwerm remembers City Council members and fi refighters going door-to-door with flyers to notify people of the city’s disaster-response wood-chipping service.
