POPPY’S PUPPIES: Celebrating traditi traditions ions P PAGE 10

Shoreview says goodbye to sales of menthol, mint and wintergreen tobacco BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

selected to ensure that flowers across the country would be in full bloom. Today Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday of May. The American flag should be hung at halfstaff until noon on Memorial Day, then raised to the top of the staff. And since 2000, when the U.S. Congress passed legislation, all Americans are encouraged to pause for a National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time.

Shoreview is now the 18th city in Minnesota to restrict sales of all flavored tobacco products. The City Council voted unanimously May 17 to add menthol, mint and wintergreen to its restriction on sales of flavored tobacco products within its borders. The move amends the current ordinance, which restricts the sale of flavored tobacco except menthol to 21-over tobacco shops. The ordinance will take effect Sept. 1, 2021. According to the Minnesota youth tobacco survey released earlier this year, 70% of youth in the state who use e-cigarettes are showing signs of addiction. Overall, youth tobacco use had already taken an upward swing in 2017 for the first time in 17 years because of e-cigarette and flavored cigar use. Even though the council received letters against the sales ban, no one appeared during the council meeting to express their concerns in person. Members of the community who spoke gave testimonies of why the sale of menthol-, mint-, and wintergreen-flavored tobacco products should be banned in Shoreview. In Minnesota, African American (88%), LGBTQ youth (70%) and all youth (34%) smokers use menthol at a higher rate than does the general population. “It’s easy now to see how Big Tobacco worked to get Black people hooked through decades of relent-

The meaning of Memorial Day

ne of history’s most solemn days, Memorial Day is an American holiday that honors the men and women who died while serving in the United States military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. In May 1868, Gen. John A. Logan, the commander-in-chief of the Union veterans’ group known as the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a decree that May 30 should become a

nationwide day of commemoration for the more than 620,000 soldiers killed in the recently ended Civil War. On Decoration Day, as Logan dubbed it, Americans should lay flowers and decorate the graves of the war dead “whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land.” According to legend, Logan chose May 30 because it was a rare day that didn’t fall on the anniversary of a Civil War battle, though some historians believe the date was

A Shoreview son reaches the major leagues Mary and Dave Hentges of Shoreview received a couple exciting phone calls recently from their son Ben, who has a pretty cool job in Cleveland. “Sam had told us he thought something was up,” Mary related, “and, on that Friday night, April 19, at about 10 o’clock, we got a call from him — and

he said, I’m on the team, I’ll be with them tomorrow.” That team is the Cleveland Indians. Sam Hentges, who signed with the American League club upon graduation from Mounds View High School in 2014, was getting his shot at the major leagues after six minor league seasons and the non-season of 2020. Six nights later came another cheery call after Hentges picked

up his first big-league win, in a relief role, throwing one 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing two hits, in a 7-3 win over the New York Yankees on April 25. “We had a party here that night,” Dave Hentges reports. “Sam did call us. He told us he had a shower in the locker room — his teammate had poured water and pop over him. They do that when you get your first win.”

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound righthander’s big league baptism has been rough for the most part so far. Through Sunday, in six games, including two starts, he had a 1-1 record, throwing 15 1/3 innings, allowing 23 hits, 11 earned runs, and nine walks, while posting 15 strikeouts. He got knocked out in the second inning against the Los SEE SAM HENTGES, PAGE 11

Klobuchar introduces legislation to bolster local journalism U.S. Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) and Michael Bennet (D-Colorado) and U.S. Rep. Marc Veasey (D-Texas) have reintroduced the Future of Local News Act, legislation to rescue the struggling local news industry. Local news organizations play a vital role in American democracy, but an industrywide transition to digital media and the pandemic’s impacts on the economy have led to a rapid decline of the local news industry. The Future of Local News Act would create a committee to study the state of local journalism and offer recommendations to Congress on the actions it can take to support local news organizations. “As thousands of media outlets have been forced out of business, too many small towns and rural communities have become ‘news deserts’ without access to local news,” said Sen. Klobuchar. “As the daughter of a newspaperman, I understand that a free press is vital to our system of government. The Future of Local News Act would help ensure that we preserve the newspapers, radio stations, and broadcasters that keep their communities informed.” “Families rely on local journalists to report on the stories that matter most to their communities. From the pandemic response to school boards to how tax dollars are spent, local news outlets provide essential information and perform an irreplaceable public service,” said Sen. Schatz. “Our bill will help strengthen local news and keep the industry afloat during this tough time.” “Across America, local newsrooms have been

pushed to the brink by a confluence of forces – from industry consolidation to the migration to digital, to the rise of social media and the COVID-19 crisis,” said Sen. Bennet. “Local reporting that engages citizens, shapes communities, and holds local governments accountable is foundational to our democracy, and I’m concerned that if we do not take action soon, we could be headed for an America without local news. I hope this legislation will help us find common-sense, nonpartisan solutions to support local journalism while preserving the independence vital to the free press.” As more news consumption moves online, the advertising-based business model that sustained local print journalism has collapsed. According to a report by PEN America, more than 2,100 local newspapers have shuttered in the last 15 years. Many of those that haven’t closed have been bought by hedge funds, subjected to relentless cost-cutting measures and seen their newsrooms shrunk by nearly half. The pandemic and resulting recession have only accelerated these trends. Klobuchar is a vocal advocate for local journalism. In March, she and Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) reintroduced the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act to allow news publishers to collectively negotiate with digital platforms such as Google and Facebook. This legislation would empower news publishers to compete more fairly by granting them immunity from federal and state antitrust laws for 48 months while they negotiate together with digital platforms.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS Salvation Army seeks volunteers for National Donut Day Friday, June 4, is National Donut Day, a day that was set aside over 80 years ago to celebrate the sugary confection made of fried dough. This year’s celebration, however, will be a Donut Day like no other. The Twin Cities Salvation Army seeks 1,000 volunteers to each deliver a box of donuts to an everyday hero of their choice, such as a fi rst responder, health care worker, public servant, veteran or just a kind neighbor— someone they’d like to acknowledge and reward. National Donut Day began in 1938 as a tribute to The Salvation Army’s “donut lassies” — a group of 250 women volunteers who helped serve American soldiers in France during World War I. Tasked with providing food and boosting the morale of servicemen on the front lines, these women would operate makeshift shelters to provide food and a place to rest. The favorite item was a doughy delicacy cooked in oil—often in a

soldier’s helmet—and then dusted with sugar. The fi rst 1,000 volunteers who sign up to deliver free donuts to a deserving individual or group (and receive a box for themselves as well) can register now at SalvationArmyNorth.org/freedonuts. Donuts will need to be picked up between 7-9 p.m. on Friday, June 4, at one of four Twin Cities locations, which will be selected during the registration process.

Weather inspires projects

IVING IN MINNESOTA where we have four seasons, spring brings about long lists of projects, home maintenance, gardening, and recreational toys that need service. With Covid-19 subsiding, people are recognizing they need some catch-up with their medical services, too. Some doctors and clinics today provide patients with the option of Zoom or phone contact. I don’t know what your community is like this spring, but our streets and sidewalks are clean, yards have been raked, trees are budding, tulips are blooming and docks are going in rapidly. It’s a wonderful time of year when so much of nature comes to life. IT WAS GOOD news to learn that Minnesota was able to keep its eight Congressional seats based on the 2020 census. Our population in Minnesota is now 5,709,752. Minnesota hasn’t grown much in the last ten years, but fortunately we retain our eight seats in Congress and the Electoral College. Some political boundaries still need to be redrawn, and the legislature will have a difficult time agreeing on the About the process. The Minnesota legislature also needs to take into consideration the Town senior population and the high state Gene Johnson income tax. For many it’s desirable to change their residency to where they spend their winters. There are some states that have reduced the income tax percentage for those who are seniors. It might be worth taking another look at the loss of revenue by holding the tax rate too high. IT TAKES COURAGE not to be discouraged. AS I REFLECT on the economic stress and anxiety caused by Covid-19 on the small business community, I appreciate our Senator Amy Klobuchar for her strong support on the Payroll Protection Program. Small business provides the majority of employment in the United States and many small businesses were hurt severely during the pandemic, and some toppled over. The hospitality industry was hit particularly hard and there are still programs in the works to put them on their feet or bring them back. It’s been an unusual year. We’re still learning and there are a lot of jobs available for those who want to work or are not discouraged by government assistance. Some businesses have increased sales, such as hearing aid clinics. Masks have prevented people from reading lips so they turn to getting hearing tests and purchasing the instruments to help. WHATEVER PROJECT YOU take on, leave it better than you found it, whether at work or at home, and teach your children to seek improvement. EXAMINE YOURSELF If you want to know where you’re really at as a Christian, listen to your words, even more so, your thoughts. The tongue reveals the true feelings of our heart: Harsh words . . . . . . Angry heart Negative words . . . . . . Fearful heart Talk a lot . . . . . . . Unsettled heart Critical words . . . . . .

Don’t forget to pause for military mommas I got the biggest surprise last weekend. My son came home for a short visit and he’s coming back in a couple of weeks to spend Memorial Day weekend with us. For many people, picnics and BBQs kick off the summer in the north on Memorial weekend. Who doesn’t love spending time with family and friends? I’ll be honest, I didn’t think much about Memorial Day. I enjoyed having an extra day off. I knew it was a hard day for some people, but I didn’t feel connected to it. That was until my son joined the Air Force. Now, when I think about Memorial Day, I get a hollow feeling in the pit of my stomach. Actually, anything to do with the military tugs on my heartstrings. Recently, I was walking into a store and the American Legion was selling poppies. I immediately thought of my son, my dad and my brother— my eyes teared up. Then I thought of all the mommas whose sons and daughters won’t be coming home. The sacriﬁce our former military service members have made and continue to make is reason to pause for a moment on May 31 this year. Being a military mom can be frightening, sad and lonely at times. I miss my son dearly, but I am so proud of him and his commitment to serving our

country and protecting the freedoms we have. But that doesn’t take away the fear that he may not come home. Do you know a mom or dad Wild who has a son or daughter in the Chow armed service? Lisa Erickson Give them some extra love the next time you see them. Tell them you appreciate the sacrifice they and their child are making. Take a moment to pause on the May 31 to remember those who have made the greatest sacrifice one can make. Have a BBQ and fun, too. There is nothing wrong with having fun—just don’t forget that weekend is really hard for some people. I will be making my son’s favorite summer foods - BBQ ribs, potato salad and strawberry short cake. We will have fun just being together. I will hug him multiple times throughout the weekend, then I will have to say goodbye not knowing when I will see him again. Strawberry Short Cake 1 cup flour 2 Tbsp sugar 1 ½ tsp baking powder Dash of salt

4 Tbsp butter 1/3 cup half and half 1 egg 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream 2 cups strawberries, sliced and sprinkled with ¼ cup of sugar Whipped cream or whipped topping such as Cool Whip Preheat oven to 450 . Spray a 6-inch cake pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, combine the ﬂour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, combine egg and half-and-half; stir into crumb mixture until moistened—there will be some loose crumbs. Spoon the batter into the prepared round baking pan. Bake until the top is golden brown about 13-15 minutes. Cool completely. Cut cake in half horizontally. Place the bottom layer on a serving plate; spread with the ice cream. Top with half of the strawberries. Place the top cake layer over the strawberries. Pour the rest of the strawberries over the top. Serve with the whipped cream.

School board hears final construction updates

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you city council Thank you Shoreview City Council! On May 17, I testified at the Shoreview City Council meeting and urged them to pass a strong tobacco prevention law. As a sophomore at Mounds View High School and resident of Shoreview with my parents and sister, I am proud of my city. Kids my age will try vaping because they are curious about the flavors or think it’s cool. Then they get hooked on nicotine and can’t stop. Today, millions of American students are addicted to e-cigarettes, thanks to the tobacco industry's flavors and advertising. That includes many students at my high school. I’m sick and tired of seeing tobacco companies target Black Americans, American Indians and LGBTQ and young people with advertising, promotions and flavored products. These tactics put people like me and my friends at risk. Menthol makes it easier for kids to start and harder for adults to quit smoking. Thank you to the city council for their unanimous support to end the sale of all flavored products. I think this change will save lives and help keep all our friends and neighbors healthy and free from addiction. Other cities and the state need to follow Shoreview’s leadership. Ben Wiggenhorn Shoreview

Response to Ramsey County Sheriff I read in the April 27th issue of the Shoreview Press a press release from Bob Fletcher, the Ramsey County Sheriff, in which he claimed the county manager is attempting to “defund” the Sheriff’s Department. This is inflammatory language without basis. Sheriff Fletcher describes spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to prepare for civil unrest, a cost for which he did not seek prior approval. Civil unrest, any reasonable person would notice, never came to Shoreview. What has come to Shoreview is the need for parks, roads, schools and infrastructure. Sheriff Fletcher is attempting a protection racket by threatening anarchy by spending money he didn’t have to arm his employees with all the bells and whistles they desire, while our teachers buy their own supplies. It would behoove your publication to remind the readers that Mr. Fletcher is an elected official running for political office, a campaign which is actively taking donations, and trying to deflect from the criticisms of his performance. The movement to make his position appointed instead of elected was underway long before “Defund the Police” became a national dog whistle for his supporters. Brendan King Shoreview

BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

The construction that began in the Mounds View school district nearly three years ago with the passing of a nearly $165 million bond referendum is almost completed, with only a few pieces to button up here and there. Representatives from Kraus-Anderson Construction Co. and Wold Architects & Engineers provided a final update on the construction projects during the May 11 Mounds View School Board meeting. Construction highlights include: • Turtle Lake Elementary School was one of the earlier projects finished; work included the addition of new classrooms, flexible space, a new cafeteria and kitchen. • Chippewa Middle School’s construction focus was to build a more secure entrance into the building. The school now has an open student common space. • Edgewood Middle School got a new swimming pool and gymnasium. • At Mounds View High School, a four-station gym has windows that provide natural light into the space and frame views from the second-story walking track; a new fitness center features weights and cardio equipment; an athletic commons area outside the gymnasium provides a place for students to collaborate and a gathering space for school events; and renovations to previously undersized classrooms now give students more space. School Board Chair Jonathan Weinhagen said he heard the word “flexible” a lot throughout the process. “You all sound like geniuses’ post-pandemic with this idea of flexible space and what a gift we've given to our students and our educators,” he said, “Not just through

In other school board news: • Superintendent Chris Lennox said that for outdoor activities like recess and physical education classes, masks are no longer required. For students in summer programming, they are already setting classrooms up for social distancing. Masking requirements after July 1 will no longer be mandatory, and parents and students should reach out to their schools for information. • A total of 101 scholarships from the district’s secondary schools Irondale, Mounds View and ALC have received college or post-secondary scholarships. The total amount awarded was $118,000. “We want to take this opportunity to congratulate all of those recipients, and I’d also like to thank the donors for their generosity,” Lennox said. • Students from Irondale and Mounds View high schools hosted mental health walks with the goal of supporting people living with mental illness. “They wanted to raise awareness and end the stigma surrounding mental health issues,” Lennox said. Both high schools were awarded a grant from Allina Health for their “change to chill” program. This program includes training for staff, tailored communications for parents, funding for a chill zone and a summer internship opportunity for a student at each high school. The interns will work to create relaxing spaces for students to use if they need to chill out. Irondale and Mounds View were among 23 schools in Minnesota and western Wisconsin to receive this grant. The next Mounds View School Board meeting will be June 22 at the District Center, 4570 Victoria Street N., in Shoreview.

DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOUCES BRIEF Anglers can prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species Clean, drain, dispose every time. Now that fishing season is here, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is reminding anglers to always follow state laws to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species. It’s also important for anglers to take a few minutes for invasive species prevention every time a boat comes out of the water. Maj. Shane Kirlin, DNR operations manager, said that’s true whether or not an enforcement officer or watercraft inspector is present. “All anglers and boaters in Minnesota are required to take three simple steps: clean, drain, dispose,” Kirlin said.

“It’s not only the best way to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species, but it’s also the law in Minnesota.” People must clean aquatic plants and debris from watercraft, drain lake or river water and keep drain plugs out during transport, and dispose of unwanted bait in the trash, not in the water. In addition to these required steps, the DNR also recommends that anglers: • Spray boat and trailer with high-pressure water. • Rinse boat and trailer with very hot water (120° for two minutes; or 140° for 10 seconds). • Dry boat and equipment for at least five days.

Murder charges filed against Mounds View man in 11-year-old homicide case SAINT PAUL — The Ramsey County Attorney’s Office charged Mounds View resident Nicholas Firkus on May 20 with one count of intentional murder in the second degree in connection with the April 25, 2010 shooting death of his wife Heidi inside their Saint Paul home. At the time, Firkus maintained that his wife was shot by a burglar during a break-in of the couple’s Saint Paul home. Firkus was arrested at his home on Red Oak Drive in Mounds

View on Wednesday, May 19, by a Saint Paul Police Department SWAT team with a sealed warrant. His next appearance in Ramsey County District Court will be July 1. Judge Kellie Charles ordered bail set at $ 3 million. According to the criminal complaint, on that April morning, 911 dispatch received a frantic call from Heidi Firkus that someone was trying to break into the home on Minnehaha Avenue in Saint Paul. Less than a minute into the call, a gunshot can

be heard, and the line went dead. A call from Firkus reported that an intruder shot both him and his wife, but his description of the assailant was vague, and other details of the call were reportedly inconsistent. Investigators later learned from Firkus that the couple’s home had been foreclosed on and that a sheriff lockout was scheduled at noon the day following his wife’s death. According to investigators, his wife was not aware that the couple was in fi nancial difficulties.

“Investigating homicides is incredibly taxing work,” said Saint Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell. “It can be hard. It can be difficult. It can be slow going. But together, we never quit. I couldn’t be more proud of the team, and I’m hopeful that this provides Heidi’s family with some sense of solace. We never forget and we never stop working.” From Ramsey County Attorney’s Office news release

Major road construction project at Hwy 36 and Manning BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

The start of spring means road construction is not far behind, and visitors to Stillwater will notice. The Washington County Board of Commissioners approved a $21 million contract with Shafer Contracting Co. Inc. to construct the Highway 36/Manning Avenue interchange at its meeting May 11. The Highway 36/Manning Avenue interchange will be at the intersection of Stillwater, Lake Elmo, and Grant. Washington County was awarded federal and state funds to lead the development and construction of the interchange, which will include a bridge on Manning Avenue that will go over Highway 36. “This is a big project which took five years to plan and will take two years to complete,” Washington County Public Works Design Engineer Frank Ticknor said. Goals for the project: • Address the existing deficiencies, including the inadequate intersection spacing, increased congestion and delays, and safety concerns. • Apply access management guidelines to the Manning Avenue corridor while accommodating access needs of existing businesses, residential

properties, potential development and individual property owners. • Improve safety, capacity and operation of the Highway 36 and Manning Avenue intersection and surrounding area. • Utilize a comprehensive agency and public engagement process to achieve community acceptance. • Consider bicycle, pedestrian and ADA facilities along the Manning Avenue corridor. Construction started May 22 and

will continue into 2022. According to Ticknor, Manning Avenue north of 36 will be closed and a detour will be provided. “We are also building a temporary road south of 36 for the Sanctuary neighborhood,” he said. An intersection realignment on Osgood Avenue (County Highway 24) and Highway 36 in Stillwater will begin sometime in August or September and will take approximately two months to complete.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE BRIEF It's not nice to fool deputies

A Fridley man, 45, faces up to one year in prison and/ or a maximum fine of $ 3,000 for gross misdemeanor obstruction of justice, after he gave a false name to Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies on May 13. On that date, deputies responded to a disorderly conduct complaint in the 400 block of County Road E and found an occupied tent not owned by the property owner. When deputies woke up the sleeping male inside the tent, he gave the correct last name, but false fi rst and second names. Deputies looked up the name provided and found a person clear of warrants. However, they became suspicious when the subject couldn't remember where he lived. When they searched the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database, they found that the name given and the picture on fi le didn't match. Deputies then conducted a quick pat down of the subject standing before them and found a passport with the correct full name and matching photograph. The suspect then revealed he had given deputies his brother's name and suggested that he just might have a felony warrant out on him.

Seeking “S” in ESG Investing

e are in the midst of two social crises – a pandemic and the movement for justice and equality. Large companies race to publish statements supporting justice and diversity. Corporations don’t want to be seen as complacent or uncaring. Restaurants, entertainment venues and offices develop protocols based on protecting their employees and patrons. The “S” in ESG is in the spotlight as we seek to invest using Environmental, Social, Governance standards. While the current social climate has moved the “S” to the forefront of ESG, it has always been a factor in ESG investment strategies. Companies are screened for diversity and gender equality, respect for human rights, culture and tradition, commitment to health and well being of employees and customers. These values minimize the company’s risk during trying times and enhance a business in good times. The Social piece of ESG creates a way investors can include their social values in their portfolios. Now, more than ever, it is important to know and understand how companies we invest in run their business.

Do I have to give up returns? A common perception is that responsible investing means giving up investment returns, but history shows that responsible investing can outperform the broad market over the long term. Sustainable business practices may even create efficiencies that increase shareholder value. For example, initiatives used to reduce and reuse waste, improve energy efficiency or conserve natural resources can produce savings that flow to a company’s bottom line. Likewise, companies with strong governance may potentially avoid costly workforce problems or regulatory sanctions. Securities offered through Securities America, Inc., member FINRA/SIPC. Jonathan B.

TOBACCO BAN: Council committed to ‘quality of life’ for residents FROM PAGE 1

SUBMITTED

Members of the community at City Hall after the vote to ban all flavored tobacco in Shoreview.

man said. “By banning the sale of menthol, the city will address racial equity.” The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently announced it would look to remove menthol cigarettes and cigars from the marketplace. However, FDA action often takes years to be enacted, and will be challenged by the tobacco industry, according to Katie Engman, program director for the Association for Nonsmokers-Minnesota (ANSR). Council Member Cory Springhorn ad-

dressed the opposition from retailers. “It felt odd to me that businesses say they cannot survive this. I drive through St. Paul, and these businesses have experienced the same thing and survived it and found a way. I think the writing has been on the wall on tobacco for a long time, and I would hope that businesses are looking for an exit strategy and hope they become less dependent on products that kill their customers,” he said. “We don’t want to punish our businesses that are tobac-

co retailers. I think it’s time to move on and find a different business model.” Council Member Sue Denkinger noted that businesses would need to pivot. “This movement has been growing,” Denkinger said. “The data in support of this policy and the support from students is overwhelming.” Mayor Sandy Martin said one of the things that affected her decision on this ban is that she is not concerned with making a profit off of a harmful product. Another thing she learned is how menthol is used to target young people, Black people and other specific populations. Council Member Emy Johnson said the city sent letters to local businesses on April 13 about the meeting and the vote to ban menthol tobacco products. She said she finds it interesting that they didn’t hear from any of the local businesses during the meeting. “We started this work in 2016, so this is not a new topic. It’s a continued commitment to the quality of life of our residents.” The next City Council meeting is at 7 p.m. June 7 at City Hall, 4600 Victoria Street N., in Shoreview.

Ben Rosin, Mounds View senior pitcher, has allowed just seven runs (three earned) and 21 hits in 34 2/3 innings for a 0.61 earned-run-average, striking out 37 batters. The 6-foot-3, 210-pound right-hander has been stellar twice against No. 2 ranked Stillwater, winning 9-1 last week and losing 1-0 on April 28. He has a 3-2 record. Despite the lost 2020 season, Rosin has previous varsity experience, having thrown 22 innings with a 0.95 ERA in 2019. Coach Mark Downey praised Rosin for his meticulous game-planning with his catcher. “Ben can throw multiple pitches for strikes in any count,” Downey added, “and that makes him tough to hit against. We went into the season thinking he would be a leader on our pitching staff, and he has certainly been that guy.”

less targeting,” Shoreview Human Rights Commissioner Gene Nichols said. “Back in the day, the tobacco industry handed out Newports from vans parked in Black neighborhoods and Social Service offices, sponsored events like KOOL Jazz Fest, and blanketed magazines like JET and Ebony with menthol tobacco ads.” Anna Grace Hottinger, a high school senior and Shoreview resident, urged the council to include menthol in its policy during her testimony. “Shoreview has an opportunity to protect our community members in removing menthol, mint and wintergreen products from stores,” Hottinger said. “We can’t wait for the federal government and state to work on this when we have an opportunity to do it now.” Shoreview resident Grace Plowman, also a high school senior, spoke in favor of the ordinance. She also pointed out how the industry targets the Black community with menthol. “Menthol cigarettes tend to be marketed toward the Black community as well, and studies show that black people are more likely to smoke menthol cigarettes,” Plow-

to Brookdale Care Center and Scandia Shores senior communities. “May baskets bring so much joy to the neighborhood,” Johnson said. “This day is so special, and we hope that the tradition of delivering May baskets will continue and spread to other communities,” Johnson said. They also want to give credit to their colleagues at Sunnyside and Snail Lake for taking the time to make the baskets and are very thankful for the Mounds View School District. “Our goal all these years was to write books on traditions, and we did it,” Walseth said. “It was one bright spot during quarantine last summer.” Their fi rst book in the series, “A Wooden Shoe for Nell,” was published last December and is about one of Poppy’s puppies, Nell, who travels to Holland to learn about the wooden shoe tradition. The books are geared for children ages 4-9. The trio hopes to have the third book in the series published sometime this fall. For more information on the Poppy’s Puppies book series, visit poppysprints.godaddysites.com/ or find them on Facebook by searching for “Poppy’s Prints LLC.”

While in quarantine last summer, kindergarten teachers Vicki Johnson and Kelly Walseth decided to pursue their dream of writing a series of children’s books. The dream, 17 years in the making, began when Johnson, of White Bear Lake and Walseth, of Shoreview, were teaching at Sunnyside Elementary School. They compiled a list of themes and traditions they wanted to write about. One theme was the tradition of May baskets. Published in April, “A May Basket for Frannie” is the second book in a series about a dog named Poppy who sends her pups into the world to learn fun traditions. In this book, Frannie travels to Greece to learn about May baskets. “It was a longstanding tradition at Sunnyside that kindergarten students delivered May baskets around the neighborhood to celebrate community and spring. It was always our favorite day when our classes could get out of the classroom and enjoy the fresh spring air,” Johnson said. “The problem we had, was there wasn’t a book to read to our students about it, so we wrote one.” When they left Sunnyside and moved to Snail Lake Kindergarten Center, they continued the May basket tradition. “Over the years we have received countless letters from homeowners writing back to our students telling what joy the basket brought,” Johnson said. While meeting and writing in their garages during the summer, Johnson and Walseth knew they needed an

artist to illustrate their vision for the books. Walseth thought of her longtime friend Kelsey Anderson. They met in kindergarten and grew up together and were friends all the way through high school. After college, they both returned to their hometown of Shoreview and reconnected. Anderson, a painter, teaches art classes to children and runs an immigration law practice with her husband. She said she was drawn to the idea of traditions that children learn in school and was immediately on board for illustrating the books. “You take for granted that there would be a children’s book that goes along with the tradition. I like that they are trying to fi ll that void,” she said. “It was so much fun making these illustrations for these books,” Anderson said. Walseth noted that the illustrations in the books are not pictures but actual paintings by Anderson which, according to Johnson and Walseth, are the heart of the books. “Our writing takes little time, and Kelsey really puts in the time to paint the illustrations,” Walseth said. “We feel pretty lucky that we all live in the same community. You don’t see that too much with authors and illustrators.” They said the students seem to like the books, because they rhyme. At the end of each book there is a blank page for children to share the traditions in their family. Johnson noted that this spring, Snail Lake continued the May baskets tradition. Distance learners also made baskets and cards that Principal Ryan Lang hand-delivered

State’s top baseball prospect savoring last hometown season BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Will Rogers loves playing baseball with his Mounds View schoolmates, but they’ve had to share him with elite teams through his teen years. In fact, the current high school season will be Rogers’ last with the kids he grew up with. No Legion ball for him this summer. “I’ll be leaving for Arizona State early in the summer,” said Rogers, recruited as a catcher for ASU but also a star pitcher for the Mustangs. “A lot of players go early to get some classes out of the way.” Arizona State is one of the most coveted destinations for any high school player. When the Sun Devils made an offer after spotting him in a Nashville tournament, he jumped at it. “I’ve talked to about 15 schools and three made offers,” Rogers said. “I got my first offer from the Gophers. ASU is second in Major League Baseball draft picks.” Rogers is ranked as the No. 1 senior baseball prospect in Minnesota by two agencies: Perfect Game and Prep Baseball Report. Nationally, PBR ranks him 66th overall and fifth among catchers. Perfect Game has him 177th overall and 14th among catchers. “Will is as hard-working a player as I have had the privilege of being around,” said Mark Downey, Mustang coach since 2007. “And not just the physical skills, but with his significant commitment to improving the mental skills of his game. He has made himself into one of the top defensive and offensive high school catchers in the country.” The 6-foot-1, 215-pound right-hander is hitting .420 (21-for-50) with seven home runs and 16 runs-batted-in.

BRUCE STRAND | SUBMITTED

Will Rogers was all smiles after clubbing a two-run homer against Roseville Area in a 3-1 win last Wednesday, his fourth homer of the season.

On the mound, he’s 4-1 with an 0.88 earned-run-average in 40 innings, with 62 strikeouts and just four walks. Downing added that Rogers is “an extremely high character young man” and a natural leader. Since age 14, Rogers has played for Great Lakes Baseball Academy, based in Woodbury, in the summer and fall, giving him national exposure. The summer after his freshman year, he was home in August to join Mounds View’s Legion team, called Tri-City Red, for the state tournament, and slugged three home runs to help them win the state

tournament in Edina. He also hustled home from the airport to join his VFW team whenever possible. “These are the guys I grew up with and it’s always great to play with them,” Rogers said. Hoping to finish his hometown career on a high note, he said about the 2021 Mustangs, “Our pitching and defense has been pretty good all along. We didn’t hit very well early but our bats are coming around now.” Rogers homered in his first varsity game as a freshman but was just 3-for-10 on varsity that year. He was a starter as a sophomore but didn’t have a great year, hitting .219 with no homers. Last year’s season was, of course, scratched entirely due to the pandemic, a searing disappointment for the Mustangs, who were regarded as a leading state contender. The attention he’s gotten from scouts has come mainly from an outstanding career with Great Lakes. This spring is his first banner high school season. His father, Travis, a Minneapolis native, was a catcher for New Mexico State (and is an assistant coach for the Mustangs). His mother, Nancy, was a volleyball player and gymnast in high school in Utah. He has one brother, Drew, a freshman who’s a varsity teammate, playing catcher and outfield. Rogers plays baseball 10 months of the year, and during his two months off in the winter he lifts weights and takes batting practice at a facility in Mendota Heights.He wrestled through eighth grade, when he had some varsity matches, and played football through 10th grade (running back, linebacker) but went full-time baseball after that. Looking ahead, his stated goals are “to have a real good college career, and get drafted.”

SAM HENTGES: Excitement of pitching in the big leagues FROM PAGE 1

Angeles Angels, giving up six runs in 1 2/3 innings, including a long homer by Shohei Ohtani, the Angels’ Japanese slugging/pitching sensation, on May 18. Hentges’ ERA was 6.45 heading into his third start, scheduled for May 24 against Detroit. His parents have flown to his games three times so far, and planned to be in Detroit on Monday night. Mary reported that the ball club immediately provided her and Dave with airline tickets to Cincinnati (where they were playing) and two days hotel accommodations, so they could join him for his entrance in the big leagues. “The Indians are a wonderful organization,” Mary said. “He didn’t play in either game in Cincinnati, so we were

a little disappointed in that, but it was also very exciting.” Mary and Dave made another flight the following Tuesday on their own, this time taking their other two sons, and Ben’s fiancé, to Cleveland, and were on hand for Sam’s debut when he pitched one inning against the Chicago White Sox. They have also journeyed to Kansas City for a couple games. Hentges, an ace on the Mustangs state tournament teams in 2013 and 2014, was a fourth-round draft pick in 2014, and the Indians lavished a reported $700,000 bonus on him to sign. His minor league stats have not been outstanding with an overall record of 1728, including a 2-13 mark and 5.11 ERA in Akron, a Class AA team, in 2019. However, the Indians had a lot money invested

in him, and still liked what they saw. During the pandemic year of 2020, when minor league ball was canceled entirely and the big leagues had a belated 60-game season, Hentges was stationed at the team’s “alternate site” in nearby Lake County, Ohio, for players they might need to call up in an emergency. Hentges performance in workouts there were encouraging, according to reports. “His progress was pretty good, with his spin rate, and his velocity, including throwing a couple 100 mph pitches,” Dave said. “He had a good spring training, in both 2020 and 2021.” Hentges was back at the alternate site to start the 2021 season, and after two Indians starting pitchers struggled in April, the club called him up. “His curveball has been really good,”

manager Terry Francona was quoted, on a fan web site. “His fastball velocity has been as advertised. If he throws strikes, he’s probably going to give himself a pretty good chance just because of his stuff.” Cleveland is currently 24-20, holding second place behind Chicago in the American League Central Division. Also closely following Hentges and the Indians are Mounds View coach Mark Downey and his current players. "The Mounds View HIgh School and Shoreview Area Youth Baseball communities are extremely excited for Sam,” stated Downey, who coached Hentges. “We're really enjoying the fact he's worked himself into a position where we can watch him pitch in the big leagues. I purchased the MLB TV package so that I can watch Sam when he's pitching."

Boys track: MV wins trueteam sectional, advances to state meet

Mounds View boys track qualified for the state true-team meet when they placed second in a combined conference and true-team meet Thursday at Irondale. Results were combined with another true-team sectional and the Mustangs edged Edina by two points. At the Irondale meet, Mustang winners were Ben Howlett

(110 hurdles, 15.86, and 300 hurdles, 41.45), Michael Scott (100 dash, 11.43), Will Skelly (800, 1:54.70), 4x200 relay (1:33.38), 4x400 relay (3:32.20), Sam Magnuson (pole vault, 13-0), and William Ketola (shot put, 47-4). The Mustangs finished 2-3-4 in the 400 with Elliott McArthur, Ellis Maloney and Eric Pfenning-Wendt, and 1-2-5 in pole vault, with Thor Berthaume second and Jason Walker fi fth.

A pair of monster games by Will Rogers helped Mounds View win three of four last week, improving to 12-7. The senior catcher slammed a bases-loaded homer and a two-run homer as the Mustangs thumped No. 2 ranked Stillwater 9-1 on Wednesday. Ben Rosin scattered three hits and three walks, striking out five, against Stillwater (14-4) to win a rematch with Ponies ace Gavin Zurn, who beat him 1-0 earlier in the season. Rogers took the mound Friday to throw a two-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts in a 2-0 win over Woodbury (14-6) and socked another homer, a solo. Reid Thurston scored the other run, dashing home from third on a foul ball pop-up out as nobody covered the plate.

Cretin-Derham Hall nipped the Mustangs 2-0 Tuesday with Cooper Smith out-dueling the Mustangs’ Logan Grimm, each allowing just four hits. The Mustangs beat White Bear Lake 11-7 Monday. Brendan Goldman had a single, a walk, four stolen bases, two runs and two RBI’s. Luke Morrisette had two hits and two RBI’s. Grimm hit a solo homer. Andrew Boeser got the win. The Mustangs closed conference Monday against Osseo. Next will be the Section 5AAAA tournament starting May 31.

Father’s Day Appreciation

Celebrations Remember your dad this year by placing a note and picture (if you wish) to honor your dad.

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com A week ago we were in the midst of a three and a half week “drought,” but that quickly changed with a couple of overnight rains. Most notably during the early morning hours of May 19 and 21 when totaled nearly 2 inches. It was a good soaking. This past weekend worked out pretty well also. Saturday was hot and steamy with many people turning on their A/C. A cold front came through on Sunday and took away the heat and humidity. Nature Notes: My front bushes provided a quiet resting spot for a newly born fawn over the weekend and I spotted my ﬁrst monarch.

Sharing love for underwater adventure BY DEBRA NEUTKENS STAFF WRITER

Get Dean Soderbeck on the subject of Scouting and scuba diving, and it's hard to get a word in edgewise. His passion for teaching the sport he loves to young people is palpable. For 23 years, Soderbeck has advised Venture Crew, a coed youth development program with the Boy Scouts of America open to ages 13 to 21. His group, BSA Venture Crew 820, started with eight Eagle Scouts with one specific interest: scuba diving. Today the unit has enough dive equipment to suit up 50 divers in a "Discover Scuba" event or fully outfit 18 summer divers with the latest dive technology. They explore area lakes, quarries, Lake Superior shipwrecks, the BSA Sea Base in the Florida Keys and the Bahamas. A few years ago, his troop was featured in Boy's Life, the national Scouting magazine. To make the sport more "wacky," Soderbeck hosts underwater basket weaving and underwater pumpkin carving at Square Lake. Later this month, the group will do an underwater beach cleanup on Lake Phalen. Participants pick up discarded cans, glass, anchors and — last year — raised two steel picnic tables. A University of Minnesota backpack still had a sealed bottle of vodka and two glasses. It's too late to claim, but "we didn't drink it," Soderbeck said. They fi nd hubcaps, tires and bicycles. Due to Phalen's poor visibility, the diving event takes place Memorial Day weekend before the algae bloom. Scouts are introduced to ice diving, too. Soderbeck recalled the large amount of plasticware found near the Manitou Island bridge one winter in White Bear Lake. "We were canvassing the bottom looking for stuff not far from the boat landing. We found cell phones, fishing rods and reels, and a lot of Tupperware that probably blew off boats."

SUBMITTED

Divers get ready to explore the Madeira, a 436-foot steel schooner that sank off treacherous Gold Rock Point on Nov. 28, 1905. Split Rock Lighthouse was built in response to the great loss of ships that year in a ﬁerce gale known as the Mataafa Storm. The Madeira is located just north of the retired lighthouse. It rests at an angle to a depth of 120 feet.

Driving his underwater passion is the need to pass on to youth the importance of preserving shipwrecks of the Great Lakes. Venture Crew partnered with the Great Lakes Shipwreck Preservation Society (GLSPS) a few years ago to expose Venture Scouts to dives on Lake Superior wrecks like the Madeira, Hesper and Samuel P. Ely. The nonprofit volunteer group works to preserve maritime heritage in the Upper Great Lakes region. Soderbeck introduces Scouts to famous divers like Jean-Michael Cousteau, and GLSPS' friends like Fred Stonehouse, a Great Lakes shipwreck hunter from the Upper Peninsula, and Becky Kagan Schott, a professional underwater photographer and cinematographer who shoots for National Geographic

and Discovery Channel. Both spoke at the Upper Midwest Scuba and Adventure Travel Show, an annual GLSPS fundraiser, at Jimmy's Event Center last month. Schott gave a presentation on the World War II shipwrecks of Truk Lagoon at the scuba show. Schott actually enjoys diving the Great Lakes to shoot haunting images of its shipwrecks, Soderbeck said. He serves as vice president of the society. "People don't realize the history we have in our own backyard," Soderbeck said about the lost vessels and their stories. He mentioned the recently discovered triple mast schooner, the Antelope, which sank in 300 feet of water near the Apostle Islands, fully intact. It was christened when Abraham Lincoln was president. "Lake Superior gets nasty,"

he observed. "The waves can be as high as the ocean but closer together. There are still a lot of wrecks we don't know about." A master diver and certified instructor who logs 40 hours underwater a year, Soderbeck has no desire to dive deep. "It does not excite me," he admitted. "I have way too much pleasure watching the expression on a kid's face who goes on scuba in a pool the fi rst time." Widowed last year when his wife died of cancer, the Shoreview resident, 67, a father of two adult children, owns Soderbeck Design & Construction Inc. His work consists mostly of remodeling upscale residential homes in the Northeast metro. Coincidentally, he designed the former ReMax building on Highway 61 (next to the dentist's office south of Rudy's) in White Bear Lake. As a Scout adviser, Soderbeck works to introduce young people to realworld adventures. "The future and growth of any organization is youth," he said. "We want to help youth today make the right decisions and provide guidance in developing leadership skills, personal growth, service and adventure activities like scuba diving." He doesn't know why, but Soderbeck says it's getting tougher to recruit young people to try the sport. He offers membership to the entire metro area and even draws kids from southern Minnesota and Iowa. He figures he covers 1,200 square miles. "We create an opportunity for youth to go beyond their comfort level by offering a large range of scuba diving adventures," Soderbeck said. "Some members we only see once a year and others once a month, but that's OK. We want them to make the right decisions in life, and we are here to support them in any way we can." For more information on Venture Crew or the GLSPS, contact Soderbeck at deansoderbeck@yahoo. com or call 651-483-8596.
