Civil War coming to life in special Memorial Day ceremony

Memorial Day remembered in letters

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

Americans will be celebrating Memorial Day on Monday, May 29. It is one of history’s most solemn days honoring the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. Navy serviceman Greg Tardiff wrote his wife Suzanne every day for nine months while he was on the aircraft carrier USS Saratoga during the Vietnam War. Before he passed away their daughter’s Megan and Ashley compiled the letters into a book called, “Letters from the Saratoga.”

A military love story remembered in letters

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Imagine looking through your parent's attic and finding a stack of love letters your dad wrote to your mom when he was serving in the U.S. Navy.

That's what Greg and Suzanne's Tardiff's daughter Megan discovered, and she decided to put all of the letters into a book called, “Letters from the Saratoga.”

Greg wrote the letters to Suzanne when he was a parachute rigger on the USS Saratoga aircraft carrier.

“The letters are from the nine months he was on the ship,” Suzanne said. “I just liked the fact that there was so much to

learn about the war in the letters.

The thing that really got me was that he was on this huge aircraft carrier for nine months and yet he found something to write every day.”

One of Suzanne's favorite excerpts from the book: “That's all the new news I have. The ship's schedule is still the same. The war is still the same. Everything is still the same. Sure will be glad when things start being different. I love you, Greg.”

Greg grew up in White Bear Lake and Suzanne lived in Highland Park when they first met in the winter of 1970.

“A friend of mine from work had convinced me to attend a blind date of sorts — it was really

a skating/broomball party with lots of people attending, and Greg was to be one of them,” Suzanne said. “At the time, my friend's husband was driving a school bus for work and I needed a ride. So, I was picked up for our first date on a school bus standing on a snowy corner with a broom in my hand.

When Greg walked in, he had his arm around another girl and I said to my friend, 'What kind of a date is this? He has a girlfriend!' It was his sister.”

Suzanne said the night turned out “quite well.” The couple had a couple more dates afterward while Greg was still home in Minnesota.

“Greg even took me to his family

Two brass bugles painstakingly handcrafted with machinist precision will sound Taps at the culmination of this year’s Memorial Day ceremony at Union Cemetery.

What makes the event special is not just the one-of-a-kind instruments’ debut, but the fact the bugles will be part of the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.

Their maker, Bill Milashius, has enlisted two former Army musicians to play what’s referred to as “echo Taps” for the commemoration, meaning one bugle will answer the other.

Taps is a 24-note bugle call sounded to signal “lights out” at the end of a military day, honor the fallen at funerals and close patriotic memorial ceremonies.

Milashius, a machinist by trade with a passion for crafting entire brass instruments, as well as components, is current commander of the White Bear Lake American Legion Post 168. A veteran of the Army National Guard, he got the idea to build the bugles a few years back with the intention of donating one to the Legion and one to VFW Post 1782.

“I’m not someone who just decided to build some horns. I have a strong background in this,” said Milashius, who holds a music degree major and manufacturing minor from St. Cloud State.

He also credits mentors who have helped him in his quest to create instruments suitable for the most discerning of professional musicians. He named the late Bob Tessier for one, and is quick to praise veteran craftsman Eric Peterson as an invaluable associate with the bugle project.

Bugles played an important role in the Civil War. The musical sound of fife, drum and bugle was not only necessary for the telling of time and duties in camp, but helped give instructions to troops to advance or retreat, among other actions. At the Battle of Gettysburg, for example, Gen. George Pickett and his men made their now infamous charge to the sounds of “Bonnie Blue Flag.”

Mention of Gettysburg brings up another historical piece to this year’s ceremony. Leading the charge to bring Civil War reenactors from the 1st Minnesota infantry to White Bear Lake May 29 is (Ret.) Army Reserve Colonel Gary Carlberg.

The Minnesota volunteers are famous for the sacrifices they made in the 1863 battle for

CITY COUNCIL SNIPPETS • The city of Shoreview is honoring city employee Dan Curley on his retirement this month, after more than 34 years of service to the community. Public Works Director Mark Maloney said Curley is a big reason the department has been transformed over the decades and why it has a good reputation. “There are 30 people in the public works department, 29 besides myself, and I have hired or been part of the hiring of 28 of those 29,” Maloney said. “Dan was actually here when I got here, and you couldn’t have asked for a more loyal, dedicated employee.”

• Shoreview will contract with Ramsey County for election services through Dec. 31, 2026. According to Assistant City Manager Renee Eisenbeisz, in 2024 Shoreview will have three elections to manage — the presidential primary in March, the state primary in August and the general election in November. Planning will begin in Sept. 2023 and last through late Nov. 2024. Of the 17 cities in Ramsey County, Shor-

eview was one of three that managed its elections.

The other two cities are Maplewood and Lauderdale.

The remaining cities contract with Ramsey County for election services. Eisenbeisz said the growth of poll pads, absentee voting, election judge expectations and training needs means the city’s internal capacity to provide efficient election administration is declining. Eisenbeisz said that the costs are higher over the two years, but there are benefits to contracting with Ramsey County.

• Scannell Properties has approval and tax increment financing assistance for phase one of the redevelopment of the former Deluxe Corporation campus.

Phase one has commenced with the demolition of the north office building. Construction will soon get underway for two office/warehouse buildings totaling approximately 300,000 square feet. Ramsey County estimates the assessed value of the two buildings at $41,500,000. The combined buildings are projected to

create an estimated 100 to 400 jobs, depending on the tenant mix.

• Elizabeth Burns is the new student representative to the bikeways and trails committee through May 31, 2025. The committee stated that Burns has the qualifications and drive to serve on the committee and contribute to its mission as evidenced by her involvement in the National Honor Society and Student Activities Board at school along with her role as student ambassador. The student representative position has been vacant since Anna Grace Hottinger graduated from high school in June 2021.

The next Shoreview City Council meeting is at 7 p.m.

Monday, June 5, in council chambers at City Hall, 4600 Victoria St. N., in Shoreview.

Memorial Day LETTERS: Navy serviceman writes his wife every day while on the USS Saratoga FROM PAGE 1

Christmas dinner at his grandfather's house, where I met his family,” Suzanne said. “We were able to spend New Year's Eve together before he left to fly back to NAS (Naval Station) Corpus Christi.”

They continued a long distance relationship by talking on the telephone three times a week for six months while he was on base.

“He was planning to come home in July for a wedding, so he invited me to fly down to the base he was stationed at to spend time together before driving back to Minnesota together,” Suzanne said. “We had a good time there at South Padre Island as well as horseback riding on the King Ranch, where he kept a horse. A week after the wedding, he left home for Texas.”

Greg was then transferred to the Naval Station in Mayport, Florida, and the USS Saratoga.

“He was very lonely there, and during one of our late night chats, he asked me if I would consider moving to Florida,” Suzanne said. “Confused by the question, I replied, 'What are you asking me?' Greg responded that he was asking me to marry him. I said yes, and the next three months I rushed to set up a wedding mostly by myself.”

Before Thanksgiving, Greg called her and lamented that he was lonely and would be bored because he had four days off for the holiday.

“I offered to buy him a ticket to fly home,” Suzanne said. “He accepted and Greg met my entire family for the first time. Additionally, we were able to get a marriage license and get him fitted for his tuxedo instead of me having to figure that out by proxy.”

Greg returned home for Christmas and the couple got married on Wednesday, Dec. 29. After the wedding, the cou-

ple moved to an apartment in Mayport, Florida.

They were aware that the ship was being deployed to the Mediterranean in July and he would have to go at that time. They were looking forward to spending six months together, but the Navy had other plans.

“We lived there for three months, and on the first of April Greg was notified of an emergency call back to the ship and it was to depart immediately, although at the time we did not know where the ship was going,” Suzanne said. “The next day, the headline on the front page of the local newspaper read, 'Saratoga Called To Vietnam!' and that is how I found out where he was headed. By Monday he was gone.”

Rather than be stuck in Florida by herself for eight months, Suzanne

called her father and asked him to come get her and help her move back to Minnesota.

“He came down with my little brother and sister and we went to Disney World using the tickets Greg and I bought for ourselves before packing up and going north,” Suzanne said.

Greg ended his service on Dec. 20, 1972. They moved back to Minnesota and got an apartment in St. Paul. They bought their first house in St. Paul, their second house in White Bear Lake and then their third home in Hugo, where they lived for 18 years.

The couple raised three children — daughters Megan and Ashley and son Chris. They have four grandchildren.

Greg worked at the post office in White Bear Lake and continued his service in the Navy Reserves for 20 years.

“Greg was a person that was he always wanted to move,” she laughed.

“We had a really nice place in Hugo, and then we bought 80 acres with a beautiful house and outbuildings in Boynton, Oklahoma. It was in the middle of nowhere and we didn't know a soul. Greg had his horses and he was crazy about horses.”

While in Oklahoma, the family would celebrate Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving in one weekend and called it “Chrisgiving.”

“We moved back to Minnesota because Greg told our children that when they got married and had a family, we would move back because they were not real happy about us moving,” Suzanne said. “We moved to White Bear Township in 2016.”

Two years later Greg started having symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. “I ended up having to put him in a home because he was just combative, and I just couldn't handle it,” Suzanne said.

In December 2021 Greg passed away five days before the couple's 50th wedding anniversary. “We had a big party planned, and it was three days before Christmas.”

Greg got to read some of the letters before he died and even though he had Alzheimer's, Suzanne said she believed he understood.

“When my daughter found the letters in the attic, I had never looked at them since he sent them to me all those years ago,” Suzanne said. “She brought them to the room where Greg was dying and we read them out loud. A lot of other people were there and everybody was so amazed.”

Road wary

B

y fully engaging all of the senses, riding a motorcycle can be an immersive and truly enjoyable way to get around. Feeling like you’re part of the landscape instead of just observing it through a window is a unique sensation. While rolling over hills and valleys, aromas are vivid and changes in temperature are immediately felt as you push through the air, which at times feels almost like water. It’s probably the closest you can get to the experience of flying while still staying on the ground.

My years of motorcycling experience started with the influence of my older brother and his group of friends while I was still a teenager.

They all had motorcycles and I became fascinated with this rumbling, Angle of whirring and extremely fast mode of transportation. I can’t quite explain View it because it’s somewhat irrational, Paul Dols but starting with the first bike I acquired (a Kawasaki 650 SR), the experience and continued attraction to motorcycles became part of my life. Whether it’s Harleys, Hondas, Moto Guzzis, BMWs or Ninjas, I believe I’ve got a fundamental understanding of what draws people to motorcycling.

After putting thousands of miles on a series of motorcycles over the years, I’m definitely not racking up the high numbers, sometimes up to 10,000 miles a season, of years past. There are a variety of factors at play, but I have to admit that the dramatic increase in distracted driving incidents has played a major role in taking some of the enjoyment out of motorcycling.

Erratic driving behavior that used to be isolated to a period of time after the bars closed on weekends, now seems to have extended into all hours of the day. It got to the point after witnessing strange driving behavior that I’d make a game out of guessing if the they were either drinking or on the phone.

While there are things within and beyond our control and no absolute guarantees in life, there are ways to manage some of the most common contributing factors to accidents. Because one of the most frequently reported accidents is when a car makes a left turn in front of an oncoming motorcycle, I’m extremely wary at (and personally loathe) uncontrolled intersections and never fully assume that an automobile driver can see me. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 70% of motorcycle accidents occur at intersections. While motorcycle riders aren’t always blameless in a collision, the majority of these incidents are caused by negligent motor vehicle operators. Alcohol consumption and riding beyond experience level are also two of the most frequent contributing factors to accidents. Nationally 27% of motorcycle fatalities involve alcohol and 34% involve speeding.

Statistics show that education and motorcycle training courses help increase the odds of riding safely. Locally, motorcycle training courses, ranging from beginner to advanced, are offered at Century College starting in late May. For more information go to century.edu/continuing-education/programareas/transportationmotorcycle-training/ To any automobile driver reading this, please be aware of your surroundings, minimize distractions and concentrate on the important task of driving safely. To any motorcyclists out there, I extend sincere wishes for a safe and enjoyable motorcycle riding season — hopefully leveraging a combination of education, experience and perhaps even the extra boost of a bike blessing.

Memories of my dad

M

emorial Day is an American holiday which honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military.

Many Americans observe this holiday by holding family gatherings, visiting cemeteries and memorials. On Memorial Day, I think about Movers & my dad, who served in the Shakers military during Sue Denkinger World War II although he was fortunate enough to survive. He was a 20-year-old college student when he enlisted to serve in the Army. College was the first time away from home for this young man from a small South Dakota city. My grandfather was an immigrant and their family had little means, particularly during the great depression when Dad grew up.

College was a big step for him.

Enlisting in the Army was even bigger.

Dad served in the infantry as a battlefield switchboard operator.

He was in the forward front lines and due to the nature of his role, served close to heavy artillery and often without relief. He fought in Ardennes, France, the Rhineland, central Europe, and the African Middle Eastern Theater. Despite what was a harrowing experience, he never talked about the war. He didn’t tell us kids about being given a Bronze Star and other awards. He was simply a person who did his best because it was the right thing to do.

I thought Dad was remarkable.

He played the guitar, and we sang as a family. He volunteered. He was a terrific Bridge player. He liked trees and gardening, so he bought a tree farm north of St. Paul. We visited it often but didn’t cut many trees. We didn’t sell trees, yet he planted more trees because he liked them. Later he wanted a lake cabin but we couldn’t afford one. So he sold the tree farm, somehow located land with an inexpensive lease and he built a family cabin. Then he planted more trees! We needed more bedrooms at home, so he

remodeled to create them. He wanted a boat for the lake, so he built one — on the front porch! We all helped paint it red and fished and rowed from that boat for years.

As my parents aged and downsized to assisted living (and for Mom’s Alzheimer’s care), he considered it a matter of personal pride that he reduced his possessions (other than the cabin) to what could fit on a flatbed.

We teased him about that, yet he was serious. Dad was a person who knew himself and his needs were simple. He worked hard to creatively acquire and make the items that he wanted but they were never more than what he thought was needed. He valued character, service, hard work and family far more than possessions.

On Memorial Day and on so many other days, I think of Dad and remember the footprint that he left — small in terms of things but so large in terms of character, service, family and therefor what in life is truly important.

DEATH NOTICE

Local Lutheran pastor goes to his Heavenly home Pastor Emeritus Morris George Cornell Vaagenes, a well-respected leader of the Lutheran and Ecumenical CharismaWc movement, passed away earlier this week. He leaves behind a beautiful family and a powerful legacy of faith, service, and dedication to Christ. Some would call it the largest spiritual awakening movement in history. Vaagenes entered the scene with spiritual fervor and authority and sparked the movement that transformed some 650,000,000 Christians. This movement reached both across the country and the world, but much of it originated at North Heights Church, the church where Vaagenes was a pastor from 1961 to 1999 for 38 years.

Under Vaagenes, North Heights grew to accommodate two campuses, one ChrisWan academy, and many other ministries, including the major music and drama productions that put on the famous “Passion” play.

Starting in 1989, the “Passion” ran for 19 years, had 296 performances, hosted around 450,000 people, included 71 animals and brought in around $6.8 million. Vaagenes was a pivotal piece in taking North Heights Church from 300 members to over 7,000. Today, North Heights has booming ministries like a Christian academy, preschool, karate association and a dance academy.

5

STUDENT NEWS In his earlier years, Vaagenes graduated from Augsburg College (1951) and Augsburg Seminary (1954), received his master of divinity (1970) and then his doctorate at Luther Seminary (1979). Vaagenes also served in Madagascar for four years in the ’50s and was president of Renewal International, which supports mission projects in Madagascar and spiritual renewal in churches. Vaagenes’ sister, Lois, was even buried in Madagascar alongside her husband. Vaagenes also has ties to Norway, where both of his parents were born and lived.

The Norwegian pastor impacted thousands from both the pulpit and face to face. He had a heart for kids and families and poured into the next generaWon. Youth, often intimidated to meet him at first, were immediately relaxed at his down-to-earth nature.

Vaagenes would commonly sit with individual students, drink a pop and have conversation before each one was confirmed. He was described as having a great sense of humor and quick wit.

This is a hard loss for many. The church has lost a prayer warrior and an influential figure. A family has lost a beloved member. Hundreds have lost a personal friend. What Vaagenes started can and will continue. The community can find comfort in his signature prayer which is, “I can’t. You (God) can. Please do.

Thank you. Amen.”

Talking lawn care with U of M We’re getting back into our yards and gardens, with pent-up demand following a long winter. University of Minnesota Extension Educator Jon Trappe has tips for yards that accomplish multiple goals, including promoting pollinators, climate action and a lovely look.

Q: Why do our yards matter?

A: For many people, their lawn is their first and most frequent point of contact with nature. The benefits of nature-based therapy can literally be found in their backyard. They are safe, convenient and private places for children and pets. Many people enjoy working in their yard as a hobby or as a connection to the outdoor world.

There are environmental benefits behind the turf that make up our yards. They protect surface and groundwater by serving as living filters. They grow well in suburban and urban areas that are often dominated by impervious surfaces, while helping cool these areas that tend to hold heat. Yards are incredibly efficient at storing carbon in the soil as organic matter, playing an important role as a carbon sink for greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane.

Q: It’s more complicated than meets the eye. How do you do the right thing?

A: Aim for a yard with grass 3 1/2 inches tall or higher. That means letting it grow to 5 inches or more before mowing. One of the great things about letting grass get taller is that its roots will grow deeper, meaning it can withstand drought much better than shorter mowed yards. Letting grass grow higher also fends off weeds like crabgrass in your yard and helps you reduce your carbon footprint by using less fuel.

Q: Should I use lawn fertilizer? Are there organic alternatives?

A: We encourage some supplemental fertilizer in lawns because it can help ensure a healthier turf. A healthier turf can be more resilient to stresses like foot traffic and allow the lawn to crowd out weeds like crabgrass.

How much fertilizer to be applied can depend on a lot of things like the

SHOREVIEW PRESS

lawn species, soil type or even how much shade you have. A good starting point is to have your soil tested. This will tell you the nutrient levels of your soil Jon Trappe and the most beneficial type of fertilizer product.

From the plant’s perspective, it doesn’t care if the fertilizer is synthetic or organic. However, your soil might benefit from an organictype fertilizer product. Check your soil test first. Many organic fertilizers have phosphorus, which cannot be applied unless the soil test shows phosphorus as deficient.

Q: What about watering, especially if we have a dry summer?

A: Trappe: Many of the grasses that grow in Minnesota or the upper Midwest can get by without any extra water beyond what nature supplies.

The lawn may get a little dry and the turf may get a little tannish, but this is likely the grasses going dormant. If we go more than 30 days or so without rain, consider watering to keep the lawn alive until the next rainstorm.

When the lawn is stressed from lack of water, try and stay off of it to reduce stress, and it should be able to bounce back just fine.

If you are going to water, don’t do it by a set schedule. By watering “deeply and infrequently,” you can actually train the grass roots to go deeper into the soil. This just means that if you are going to water, it is better to do it less often but with a higher amount.

If you have an irrigation system, look into using a smart controller that can adapt to local weather conditions. It will save you water and make your lawn more resilient.

Jon Trappe has been a turf extension educator for the University of Minnesota since October 2022.

the Pennsylvania borough. As a reenactor, Carlberg portrays the Union general who rallied the fresh troops at Gettysburg.

The commander, Major General Winfield Hancock, is said to have ridden up to the 1st Minnesota, the only organized Union troops at hand on July 2, pointed at the advancing Confederates and ordered them to “Take those colors!” In other words, capture their flag. Their courageous charge against overwhelming odds halted the enemies’ advance and bought desperately needed time for the center of the Union line to reform.

Accounts vary, but it’s thought the 262 1st Minnesota volunteers were outnumbered 3 or 4 to 1 as they fought at close range over 300 yards of open ground near Cemetery Ridge. They lost 215 men, or 82% of the regiment in one day in the bloody battle.

Hancock would later say that “No soldiers on any field, in this or any other country, ever displayed grander heroism.”

The remainder of the regiment also helped repulse Pickett’s charge to take Cemetery Hill on July 3, which history says marked the end of the battle and was a turning point in the war.

Well versed on history of the war between north and south, Carlberg serves as commander of the Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War. “We do research to find all Union soldiers buried in each county of

to Stillwater.

In 1867, Earhardt moved to White Bear, married Anna Milner Dec. 24, 1878, and had a son, Lincoln Morris Erhardt, around 1880.

A civic-minded citizen, Earhardt became a charter member of the E.B. Gibbs GAR Post 76 and held positions as village roadmaster, marshal and street commissioner. He was a member of the Village Council and Justice of the Peace and served on the board of education.

The Gettysburg gunshot wound would plague him all his life.

In 1907, his left leg was amputated below the knee. A cancerous infection in the stump was considered the cause of his death Dec. 17, 1908, at the age of 64.

Jorgensen wrote: “The bullet that took him down at Gettysburg finally took his life 45 years later.”

According to the area historical society, St. Mary’s parish purchased land for its cemetery from the Earhardts around 1893.

Local connection to Battle of Gettysburg Union Cemetery holds a member of the 1st Minnesota who fought at Gettysburg.

Morritz (nicknamed Morris) Earhardt (some spellings note Ehrhardt or Erhardt) was a German immigrant born March 7, 1844. His family settled in Stillwater in 1852 after coming to America in spring 1846.

When the Civil War began, Earhardt enlisted at a rally in his new hometown. He was mustered into Company B, 1st Minnesota Infantry on April 29, 1861, at Ft. Snelling. He lied about his age, claiming to be 18 when he was really 17.

His father, a veteran of the Mexican War, also served in Company C of the 8th Minnesota infantry.

A piece about Earhardt

by Wayne Jorgenson says he was wounded in the left ankle at Gettysburg during the regiment’s fateful charge July 2, 1863. His wound never healed and, eventually, infection led to his death years later. He was discharged May 24, 1864, when his commitment was up and he returned

The retired colonel plans to play Hancock at the Union Cemetery event. He will also lead the parade and emcee the ceremony. Three politicians are slated to speak about the 50th anniversary of Vietnam, Private Erhardt (see side story) and the Battle of Gettysburg, Carlberg said.

Following the speeches, he will order members to “take those colors (take the flag).” They will fix bayonets to 1861 Springfield muskets, load blanks and fire “three volleys of musketry.”

“For those who haven’t seen soldiers in Civil War uniform loading, fixing and firing, it will be quite the event,” Carlberg promised.

The VFW Honor Guard will shoot its volleys with “echo” Taps concluding the ceremony.

Christian Forbes/ Andrew Hermes lost a close one 7-6, 7-5. In the Suburban East Conference, the Mustangs extended their dynasty, winning all eight matches.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Hayden Sperbeck Mounds View Baseball Hayden Sperbeck, Mounds View third baseman, has been “a phenomenal player for us” this season, baseball coach Nik Anderson said. The 5-foot-8, 175-pound junior is hitting .403 with three doubles, eight stolen bases, 14 runs-batted-in and 12 runs for the Mustangs (11-7). “Stellar defense, always making the right play,” assessed the coach. “He seems to find a way to get the big hit when the team needs it. Five stolen bases in the last three games. Just a very heads-up ball player.”

Canine Influenza

• Employment •

The Minnesota Board of Animal Health is releasing new canine influenza guidance for dog owners, dog care facilities and veterinarians as it continues to track more confirmed and suspected cases of the contagious canine influenza.

There are strong indicators of community spread of canine influenza in the Twin Cities.

Additionally, the board has been inundated with calls from veterinarians on suspected cases of canine influenza when testing is either denied or results are inconclusive.

The Board recommends the following precautions until the outbreak subsides: • Avoid direct dog-to-dog contact with dogs outside of your household or dogs known to have been boarded, attended dog day-care, or visited a dog park in the last seven days.

• If your dog is sick, keep them at home, away from other animals, and call your veterinarian.

• Consider avoiding dog parks and other locations with uncontrolled dog-to-dog contact.

• Keep your distance (six feet) at places where dogs congregate like dog parks and while on walks with your dog.

• Canine influenza can also spread via contaminated surfaces, including skin and clothing. If your dog is sick or you have contact with dogs outside of your household, wash your hands and change clothes before interacting with other animals.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF BRIEFS Suspect and guns just don’t go together

A St. Paul man, 24, faces up to 10 years imprisonment and/ or a maximum $20,000 fine on a dangerous weapon charge for drive-by shooting, following an April 30 road rage incident in the 200 block of Dawn Avenue. He has been charged with two additional offenses: felony assault with a dangerous weapon, which carries a maximum prison term of seven years and/or fine of up to $14,000, and gross misdemeanor firearms and ammunition possession, which carries a maximum jail term of one year and/or fine of up to $3,000.

At approximately 1:30 p.m. April 30, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a report of shots fired in the 200 block of Dawn Avenue. Several witnesses reported hearing multiple shots and seeing a male wearing a plaid hoodie exit a black Jeep before fleeing eastbound on Dawn Avenue. A white Audi was also reportedly involved in the confrontation.

On arrival, deputies noticed a white Audi flash its high beams at them. Its driver was visibly shaken and emotional while speaking with them. The driver’s son, also in the vehicle, was shaking violently and complaining of nausea.

The victims reported that as they were traveling south on Hodgson Road at Highway 96, the driver of a black Jeep was behaving aggressively and attempted to cut in front of them and another vehicle. As they continued south on Hodgson, the Jeep driver pulled over onto the shoulder and gestured to them with his arm out of the window.

The victims turned east on Dawn Avenue and noticed they were still being followed, so they pulled over a few houses away from their home because they didn’t want the suspect to follow them home.

However, the Jeep driver raced past them on Dawn Avenue and parked on the same side of the road in front of them. The Audi driver said he got out of his vehicle and walked toward the Jeep, yelling at the driver and asking what his problem was. The victim

said the Jeep driver opened the door, came halfway out of his vehicle, showed the gun and began shooting.

block of Gramsie Road. Her actions during that domestic may tack on an additional 90 days in jail and/ or maximum fine of $1,000 for misdemeanor assault.

At 6:21 p.m. May 12, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a caller who said the defendant had punched and scratched him during an argument.

On arrival, deputies could hear screaming from inside the house and noticed scratches on the complainant’s arm.

The complainant told deputies that his daughter had threatened him with a weapon before, that she is manipulative and doesn’t like to be told “no.” Furthermore, the defendant smashes things around the house when she is mad, and he is worried for his safety when he’s around her. He and his wife sleep with their bedroom door locked as a result, he said.

As deputies listened to the complainant, the defendant appeared on the landing at the bottom of the stairs and immediately began arguing with deputies about their body-worn cameras. When deputies informed the subject that she was going to be detained, she attempted to flee upstairs. Deputies grabbed her arm, and she began to flail, kick and pull away. The subject then tried to bite a deputy, causing an abrasion on his right forearm. She continued her attack by scratching the deputy, leaving two scratch marks on his right jaw, eyelid and down the middle of his neck. These assaults drew blood.

Despite the subject’s continued resistance to arrest, deputies were eventually able to detain her. As they brought her to the squad car, she kicked a different deputy in the leg. Once in the squad, the defendant taunted the first, still bleeding deputy, saying, “nice scars on your face.”

The defendant has an open case against her for disorderly conduct, fifth-degree assault and misdemeanor domestic assault, after allegedly striking her mother in the face and causing her to lose consciousness.

The Audi driver heard a round hit metal and a person yelling to take cover, so he ran across the street.

Once the shooting stopped, the victim thought the suspect might be reloading, so he ran back to his vehicle and fled the scene in reverse.

He then called 911. The suspect was located walking on Wendy Court and taken into custody.

After a witness said she observed the suspect walking on the east side of her house, then between two other houses, deputies searched the area for a firearm and found it tucked just inside a downspout on the side of one of the houses. Deputies spotted the gun after they saw the handle of the Ruger SP101 sticking out of the downspout.

Deputies located five .38 Special casings at the scene, and an apparent bullet strike on the driver’s side back door of the suspect’s Jeep, and another located on the corner of a nearby house. The three other rounds could not be accounted for.

The victims identified the suspect by photo, and several witnesses reported seeing the suspect fire multiple shots.

The defendant was convicted of misdemeanor domestic assault in Washington County in 2022, which makes him ineligible to possess any firearm. In 2023, he was also convicted of misdemeanor domestic abuse no-contact order(DANCO) violation in Washington County.

He currently has pending gross misdemeanor charges of possessing a pistol in a public place without a permit and ineligible possessing a firearm in Anoka County. One of his release conditions was that he cannot use or possess firearms, and he has an active warrant for failing to appear in court in March 2023.

Daughter out of control

A Shoreview woman, 18, faces up to three years imprisonment and/ or a $6,000 fine for felony assault of a police officer, following a May 12 domestic incident in the 200

A hot date – now her heater is hot

A Shoreview woman reported her Kahr 9mm handgun stolen May 9, a few days after a Minneapolis man she’d met on the Tinder dating app came to her apartment in the 3000 block of Owasso Street on May 5.

On arrival, the suspect’s first order of business, apparently, was to ask to see the complainant’s gun. On May 6, the handgun went missing. Only the complainant and her online date had been in the apartment during that time. The suspect even helped the complainant look for the missing gun, but, for some reason, it could not be found.

On May 7, the complainant lent the suspect her vehicle. Since first meeting the complainant only two days earlier, the suspect had already borrowed her car several times. But he always promptly returned the car, she said. On May 9, however, he had not promptly returned the car he borrowed on May 7. The complainant reported the car as stolen, because the suspect had been giving her the runaround when she reached out to him about the car via Facebook messenger.

The suspect was arrested on May 12 and the stolen vehicle recovered in Minneapolis. The gun is still unaccounted for, however. He faces up to 20 years in prison and a maximum fine of $100,000 for felony theft. He also faces an additional 15 years in prison and/or maximum fine of $30,000 for possessing a firearm while ineligible to do. He has also been charged with a third felony, theft while indifferent to owner rights, which carries a penalty of five years in prison and/or maximum fine of $10,000.

The defendant, 31, has four prior felony convictions for seconddegree burglary; domestic assault, violation of an order for protection and financial transaction card fraud.

The burglary and domestic assault are convictions of a violent crime, which make the suspect ineligible to possess firearms.

Farrell Tuohy had one wish for his 60th birthday — better health.

That might just happen, thanks to White Bear Lake resident Jeff Engler. After a yearlong process, Engler found out he is a match and may be able to donate a kidney to Tuohy. Tuohy’s wife Kim is Engler’s cousin.

Tuohy, owner of Pizza Man & Corner Malt Shop in White Bear Lake, has been on dialysis for nearly three years, something he says he can’t do forever. (See “Area business owner patiently waiting for kidney, June 8, 2021.)

So far, three people have come forward as potential donors but none of them have been a match. Engler is the first person to make it all the way through the testing phase, although there are still a few things that need to happen in order for the surgery to take place.

Last summer, the Englers stopped by Pizza Man’s booth at Marketfest and they started talking about blood types. Later, after realizing his blood type matched Tuohy’s, Engler decided to go through the testing to see if he was a match but he had one condition for Tuohy’s wife, Kim — she couldn’t tell her husband.

contained to main spots: along I-94 to the south, and in the city’s downtown or “Old Village” area to the northeast along Lake Elmo Avenue and Stillwater Boulevard.

“It’s not our plan to have all of Lake Elmo be developed at these high densities; we still really value the rural areas,” Handt said.

Handt noted a shift in the types of new housing in Lake Elmo.

Although most of the earlier developments were for singlefamily units (which also is what 82% of the city’s housing stock was as of 2017), newer developments have tended toward townhomes and apartments.

advocates are to help students and families with needs that center around the students’ educational experience,” said Director of Teaching and Learning Mark Grossklaus. “(They) are a valuable resource that helps families connect with our schools and provide additional support that some families might need to support their students.”

Berrios Cordero has worked for the district for 23 years.

Prior to the advocate role, she wore a variety of hats including paraprofessional, substitute teacher, Hispanic and

cultural liaison, and Spanish interpreter. She was interested in filling the advocate role because she enjoys helping people, especially the Hispanic community, to pay tribute to her Puerto Rican heritage. She helps students with the last names starting with A-Har as well as Spanish-speaking families.

“My motto is, if you need help, I’m there for you no matter who you are,” she said.

The youth robotics team Spontaneous Construction is heading to the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) World Championship from April 19-22, in Houston, Texas.

FIRST stands for — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. The nine-member team is composed of juniors and seniors from Mounds View and Southwest high schools. Team members built a robot to grab cones and stack them on different poles, and took first place at the Minnesota FIRST Tech Challenge state tournament.

“This is our fifth year as a team, and we’ve always strived

for the goal of winning state and making our way to the world championship,” team member Jackie Lee said. “After seeing all five years of our hard work accumulate to this one moment, it felt very unrealistic at first, but then it’s finally happening.

We saw this coming because we know we’ve worked so hard to get to this spot.”

Team member Aaron Lam said being state champions is gratifying because the team worked hard on its robot.

“It’s a collective community where we’re our own teams building our own robots but a lot of the time we’re also meeting with other teams and working with them,” Lam said. “Over time, we slowly grew into this one team that everybody in

Minnesota knew pretty much and we were friends with a ton of the volunteers and a ton of the other teams. It was really nice to see that all of our hard work paid off and being recognized as the first-place winner at state.”

The team is active in the Minnesota robotics community and has made friends from all over the country.

“We have friends in Connecticut that we’re really excited to see at the world championship,” Lee said. “We also helped out teams in Norway and Utah. We’re excited to not only meet these people in person for the first time but also see some of our old friends who are also from different states.”

5K run/walk to honor Shoreview avid runner Longtime Shoreview resident Rene McCoy lost her battle with pancreatic cancer on Dec. 1, 2020, but her legacy lives on with the first Monarch Fund 5K run/ walk on Sunday, April 23, at Snail Lake Regional Park.

“My wife Rene was an active runner, and ran every day,” said Brian McCoy, Rene’s husband of 39 years. “She loved running at Snail Lake Park.

Sometimes she would run in the morning and then she’d walk with somebody in the afternoon or bike ride with somebody in the evening. It was a social connection for her.”

Craig McCoy, Brian’s brother, is managing the event.

“Participants for the kids’ run will get a T-shirt, and they will need to sign up on the website,” Craig said. “For people who don’t want to do the full 5K, which is 3.1 miles, we have another event called a bench walk. It only goes about a mile and ends up where there’s a memorial bench for Rene in the park.”

Brian and Rene’s next door neighbor, Mary Marvin, came up with the idea of a bench at Snail Lake Park in honor of Rene.

“Mary and Rene were best friends, and Mary wasn’t a runner, she was a walker,” Brian said.

“We’ve been adding about 250 to 300 new homes each year since about 2016. Our growth really kicked off in 2015,” Handt said, adding the population spurt is because the city was connected to a regional sewer system at the urging of the Met Council in 2014.

The city went from 41 permits for new housing units in 2014 to 142 permits in 2015 and 336 permits in 2016.

“I would say we do about 250 new homes on average each year.

Sometimes it’s closer to 300. This past year, I think we just barely crossed 200,” Handt said.

Northeast Youth & Family Services refreshes its mission, vision and values

BY NOELLE OLSON EDITOR

When you walk into the Northeast Youth and Family Services (NYFS) building in Shoreview, you see a sign that reads, “Transforming lives by ensuring access to care that nurtures healing, cultivates community, and inspires hope.”

That is the new mission statement of NYFS. “We’ve refreshed our organizational mission, vision and values over the last maybe six months or so,” said Angela Lewis-Dmello, president and CEO. “We have a new logo and we’re very proud of all of our new branding stuff.”

According to Lewis-Dmello, the vision at NYFS is a world where thriving individuals and families are the building blocks of safe, unified communities established through a network of empowered and collaborative partnerships.

The values at NYFS are as follows: • Equity, inclusion and belonging • Authenticity • Community driven • Transformative relationships • Innovation • Well-being • Integrity “Our new values drive everything we do at NYFS,” Lewis-Dmello said. “Our goal is to ensure that the values are lived every day by our budget, by our decision making, by our staff and the way that we provide services.”

The community-based, trauma-informed, mental health and human services nonprofit organization has been serving the communities of suburban Ramsey County since 1976. NYFS also has an outpatient clinic in White Bear Lake.

Lewis-Dmello said NYFS has been designing traumainformed spaces so people with trauma will have as few triggers as possible when they walk through the door.

“We’ve painted everything in trauma-informed colors and making sure that the colors are warm, that they’re light and that it feels not ‘clinical,’” she said. “We’re also working on revising our artwork throughout our spaces.”

NYFS did a survey assessment with its clients to determine experiences of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

“What we found was that 75% of our clients reported domestic violence or sexual violence in their lifetime, and that doesn’t include physical abuse, neglect or substance use in the home and all of the other things that affect child development,” Lewis-Dmello said. “We work a lot with those individuals and their families because we really see family intervention as one of the most effective ways to help people heal with mental health concerns, especially when they’re embedded in the family system.”

Services at NYFS include clinic-based and telehealth counseling for all ages, school-based services, day treatment services for middle and high school youth, diversion programming for youth, community connections programming for isolated youth and community advocate services.

Youth diversion is a program for youth who are charged with a misdemeanor and status offenses such as theft and alcohol or drug use. They can use this program as an alternative to the traditional juvenile justice system to rebuild their lives and get back on track.

Lewis-Dmello described the community connections program as an outgrowth of the youth diversion services.

“It was started through youth focus groups that we were serving, and we asked them what they really want,” Lewis-Dmello said. “And they said, ‘We would like to be able to go to the library and feel like that’s a place where we belong. We’d like to think about what kinds of jobs we might want and plan for what the budget would look like if we had that job and had to pay our bills.’”

In the community advocacy program, an advocate works with five police departments — White Bear Lake, Mounds View, New Brighton, Roseville and St. Anthony.

“The goal is for us to provide services that are outside of the scope of law enforcement, and that can be crisis intervention, mental health intervention, case management, housing or whatever folks need in order to reduce the number of contacts individuals have with law enforcement, when what they really need is something else,” Lewis-Dmello said.

According to Mental Health Director Sarah Lockhart, NYFS does art and play therapy because there are a lot of youth who do not have words for their experiences based on their diagnosis. “Maybe they

don’t feel ready to verbally process or maybe it’s not at their stage of social emotional development to be able to process verbally their experiences of trauma,” Lockhart said.

NYFS serves four school districts — Mounds View, White Bear Lake, Roseville and St. Anthony-New Brighton.

“We take an embedded model when it comes to our school-based therapy program,” Lockhart said. “We don’t think of it as an outpatient clinic that’s just sitting in the school. We really believe that the schools and the school districts are also our partners and our clients, and we try to make sure that there’s time built into their schedules for consultations with principals to provide training to the staff on mental health and to take walk-ins if needed so that we can get the appropriate services and referrals for a child.”

NYFS offers services for all economic situations and is supported by 17 local municipalities, including Shoreview, Hugo, White Bear Lake, White Bear Township, North Oaks, Mounds View, Birchwood Heights, Mahtomedi and Vadnais Heights.

“One of the really cool things about having these relationships with municipalities is it allows us to be very community driven,” Lewis-Dmello said. “The municipalities usually put one individual on our board of directors and so our board is largely city officials or City Council members.”

Support from NYFS’s municipal partners and donations from community stakeholders allow NYFS to remove financial barriers and provide services to many who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford this help.

“Those who need our services can come to us even if they can’t afford our services,” said Amelia Maijala, development and communications manager. “That is what we’ve done, from depression and anxiety to the most common reasons people come in for care. We don’t want your anxiety over how you’re going to pay for the next visit to treat your anxiety to be part of the problem.”
