JUNE 1: High School Senior Recognition Day PAGE 2

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

Editor’s note: The Quad Community Press does not name victims of sexual assaults. The survivor will be referred to as “Jane.” May 8, 2015 will forever be the worst day of Jane’s life. That’s the day everything changed.

BY THE NUMBERS: 351,000 victims (age 12 or older) of rape and sexual assault each year in the U.S.

7 out of 10 sexual assaults are

perpetrated by someone known by the victim.

30, the age that most sexual

assault victims are under. 15% are 12-17; 54% are 18-34; 28% are 3564; 3% are 65 and over.

1 in every 6 American women

has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime.

3% of American men (1 in 33) have experienced an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. Source: Alexandra House, compiled from a multitude of sources.

The assault On the Friday following Cinco de Mayo, Jane, 25, went to a bar with some friends for a birthday celebration. They ran into a group of four men. One of the men introduced himself as “Hugo.” “I thought he was creepy but I did think one of his friends was cute, so I continued talking to his friend,” she recalled. Hugo became irate and begin calling Jane vulgar names when she started to pay more attention to his friend. Jane, who was sober, decided to leave the bar and drive the 10 minutes back to her apartment. Once she got home, she was trying to lock the door when she felt resistance and before she knew it there was a man in her apartment. She quickly recognized him as Hugo. He said, “We are going to get to know each other very well.” Jane tried to make it to her bedroom, where she had a 9 mm gun in her nightstand. “When I opened my bedroom door,

my dogs rushed out. They believed we had a visitor and wanted attention. Scared for my dogs and knowing I couldn’t protect them and go for my gun, I froze,” she recalled. “Before I could get any further into my bedroom, he rushed me and slammed the door behind him. He grabbed me by the hair on the back of my head and shoved me on my bed. I remember thinking God, please don’t let him rape me.” When the assault was over and Hugo had left, Jane did the one thing you are not supposed to do after a sexual assault: she showered. “I felt so gross and sticky. I felt like I smelt like this rancid smell that I could smell coming from him. I felt so disgusting that my fi rst reaction was to get into the shower,” she said. Jane works in criminal law, so she knew once the evidence was gone, there was a very slim-to-no chance that the perpetrator would ever be caught. “I also felt a lot of shame and guilt. I thought it was my fault and that I was going to be blamed for this,” she said. “They won’t see me as a victim, they will just see me as a slut.” Alexandra House Executive Director Connie Moore said, “A lot of times victims won’t report because they are feeling like — somehow — they are responsible for what happened. They feel that if they had done something different it wouldn’t have happened to them, so it is their fault.” SEE COPING WITH ASSAULT, PAGE 10

The state of emergency declared by the Shoreview City Council due to the onset of COVID-19 has been extended indefinitely. At the May 18 council meeting, held via teleconference, council members unanimously voted to approve a resolution extending the period of local emergency, originally declared March 16. There is no official expiration date for the extension. City Manager Terry Schwerm explained that the end date is tied to the lifting of the state's peacetime emergency declaration. “Right now, it (the statewide emergency) is scheduled to expire June 12,” Schwerm said. “I fully anticipate that it may continue on for some time so that the state can continue to qualify for federal aids and federal funds that may become available. But we'll have to see.” Schwerm said that the extension “most importantly” makes the city eligible for state and/or funding that may soon become available due to the pandemic. The extension also allows City Council and other public meetings to continue to be held via teleconference. Since April 6, councilmembers have used the application Zoom to hold their bi-monthly meetings. Due to COVID-19, the Shoreview Community Center has been closed since March 16 and City Hall since March 18. Both buildings will remain closed until further notice. Annual citywide summer events have also been affected. Slice of Shoreview Days, held each year at the end of July, has been canceled for 2020. The Concert in the Commons series, originally scheduled to start June 10, has been postponed until July. More information about the city's ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic can be found at shoreviewmn.gov. The council next meets at 7 p.m. Monday, June 1, via teleconference.

Shoreview names June 1 ‘High School Senior Recognition Day’ BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR

With schools closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, graduating seniors have missed out on end-of-the-year milestones and traditions. With that in mind, June 1 is now officially designated as High School Senior Recognition Day in honor of Shoreview’s members of the class of 2020. Mayor Sandy Martin read the proclamation during the City Council’s May 18 meeting, held

via teleconference. “I think all of us are very familiar (with) and personally know high school seniors ‌ who are missing out on one of the funnest time of their lives, as we all remember it. We’re doing everything we can to make them feel special,â€? Martin said. “I don’t know what they’ll call this generation, but they’re going to have a great name for these kids, because they’re handling this, in some ways, better than I am.â€?

Mounds View High School will hold a virtual graduation ceremony at 7 p.m. Monday, June 1. Students are encouraged to wear their caps and gowns as they watch the event and to share pictures on social media using the hashtag #MVMustangs2020. Additional information, including access to the livestreamed ceremony, can be found online at moundsviewschools.org/ moundsviewgraduation

Watch for mosquito control activity Metropolitan Mosquito Control District trucks and helicopters are out in neighborhoods and parks. Because more people are at home, they may be more visible this year. Warmer weather means that mosquito season is quickly approaching. The MMCD will be out conducting surveillance and treatment activities to reduce the risk of disease and annoyance in an environmentally sensitive manner. Each year the field staff at MMCD monitors and treats wetlands that breed mosquitoes with a fleet of trucks and helicopters. At times, MMCD employees may need to cross private prop-

erty for access to check and treat areas for mosquito larvae. Mosquito control staff will be practicing social distancing, wearing masks when near people and working individually as often as possible. MMCD management asks the community to stay at least 6 feet away from field staff and ensure children and pets are kept at a distance. Some of the activities that MMCD may be doing in your community include: • Wetland surveillance: Determining if ponds or swamps have mosquito larvae present. • Catch basin surveillance: Pulling

off grates and inspecting neighborhood catch basins to determine if mosquito larvae are present. • Ground larval treatments: Applying control materials to a wetland with a hand spreader or backpack. • Helicopter larval treatments: Applying control materials to a wetland via helicopter. • Catch basin treatments: Applying control materials to neighborhood catch basins. • Setting or collecting traps: Surveillance helps MMCD determine what types of mosquitoes are active and where.

The control materials and methods used by MMCD are regularly tested for safety and only applied when surveillance indicates they would be effective. They are designed specifically to target mosquito larvae or adults with minimal impacts on nontarget insects. The control materials are not harmful to people, pets or wildlife. For a complete list of control materials used, please visit MMCD.org. If you have questions about mosquito control activities or concerns about an employee, please call the MMCD at 651645-9149 or visit MMCD.org. Submitted

NAMES IN THE NEWS

The Mounds View School Board took the following action at its May 12 meeting, held via teleconference: • Voted to terminate one probationary teacher due to changes in enrollment, elimination of position, uncertainty of funding, performance or return of leave from senior teachers. • Placed three learning resource teachers on an unrequested leave of absence. At its April 14 meeting, the board approved a proposal to place four certified staff members on an unrequested leave for the 2020-21 school year. Failure to request a hearing is deemed acquiescence to the proposed action. One of the four staff members requested a hearing, and the remainder were placed on leave. • Approved transportation service agreements with R and D Transportation, Twin City Transportation, Safe-Tree Transportation and United Transportation Services LLC for two years. The contracts will begin Aug. 1 and end July 31, 2022, with an option to extend for an additional two years. • Heard an update on the district operational plan from Superintendent Chris Lennox.

Family campfire and s’mores

ue to supply chain challenges grocery stores have had to put limits on various food and cleaning supplies a customer can buy per visit. Examples include disinfectant, wipes, hand sanitizer, chicken, ground beef and eggs. We recently found marshmallows limited to one bag. I imagine this is a result of an uptick in family campfi res during the stay at home order. Like many, our family has been perfecting our s’more making skills. We Publisher’s all have a different chocolate to marshmallow ratio, and we’ve View added some embellishments. daughter shoves an extra Carter Johnson My piece of chocolate inside the marshmallow before roasting it. My son was with a friend who adds a caramel to the end of the stick. Put the marshmallow on fi rst, then a caramel square. Roast it, and when you pull it off the caramel ends up inside the marshmallow. Friends have also introduced us to putting a marshmallow in between two chocolate-covered graham crackers, thereby saving a step and replacing the piece of chocolate bar with a peanut butter cup or a fi lled Ghiardelli chocolate square. There is no better time than now to test traditions and make new ones with your family. As always with backyard campfires please refer to your city or township codes. Most allow up to a 3-foot fire ring. Remember to burn only clean, dry lumber. Treated or painted wood and plastic in a fire can risk toxic chemicals getting on your s’more. Don’t burn wet, rotten leaves or sticks that could smoke out the neighbors and remember a few campfire stories. Gift Card Winner Congratulations to Duane & Denise Carlson on being the spring subscriber campaign winners of $250 gift cards that are purchased by marketing customers. Thank you to all of our new and renewing subscribers. This spring the community came out to support us with our subscriber campaign and our support local journalism campaign. As we bring our spring campaign to close we are only 70 subscribers away from our goal. It’s never too late to consider supporting your local newspaper. Wear your masks I have been able to make it two months rotating the four masks I have. I finally had to toss one because it was dirty and smelled from bad breath. I keep a couple of masks in my car, at the office and at home. It’s key for all of us to wear a mask any time we are out in public, in offices, shopping or around other people. I’ll admit, I still feel awkward wearing one, and keeping it up over your nose is tough. However, I want our local businesses to open up and things to go back to normal as much as anyone, and I believe social distancing and wearing a mask are critical steps we all need to follow to ensure we are safe and the momentum to re-open continues. The experts tell us this is the way to minimize and prevent transmission of the respiratory virus, which is also common sense. Our family has been shopping and picked up take-out food at numerous local establishments now. I always wear a mask when I interact with the employees of those establishments, and I appreciate that the majority of them do, too. Many stores are now requiring masks. On the few occasions the person at the check-out counter or handing me my food wasn’t wearing a mask, I was uncomfortable and annoyed. As they open up, businesses should enforce social distancing, maskwearing and hand-washing rules with their employees as well as customers. We all need to do our part, follow the recommendations and error on the side of caution. Carter Johnson is publisher of Press Publications.

important bills. Prescription drug prices have skyrocketed, and one example is insulin, tripling in the last decade. This has put people with diabetes in a precarious position, and the Alec Smith Insulin Affordability Act will give Minnesotans access to affordable insulin both in an emergency and over the long term. The Prescription Drug Price Transparency Act requires drug makers to report pricing information for medications that exceed certain thresholds or increase by significant amounts in a short timeframe. Making this information publicly accessible is one step in our broader efforts to lower the cost of prescription drugs Minnesotans count on to live healthy lives. Another bill to ensure that our elections are safe and secure was signed into law. Recently, Wisconsin held a primary election during the pandemic, and despite a stayat home-order, voters were forced to appear in person to cast their ballots. Our legislation delivers funding to help us prepare for more absentee voting, open more polling locations and purchase sanitation and disinfectant supplies. We aren’t certain what challenges COVID-19 will pose for our primary and general elections, and these steps will ensure Minnesotans can access the democratic process safely. In addition, we have established resources to help you navigate this pandemic. These are available on the Minnesota House of Representatives’

FINDING A TESTING LOCATION If you are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, you are encouraged to get tested. Visit mn.gov/covid19/for-minnesotans/if-sick to fi nd a testing site near you. Testing sites are designed to keep you and health care workers safe. Sometimes you may stay in your car. Other sites will screen you before you come indoors. Many sites will require an appointment before you arrive to ensure they’ve collected your contact and insurance information. Please review directions specific to each site before you go. The CARES Act requires that COVID-19 testing is covered without cost-sharing. This applies to all health insurance coverage in Minnesota. It is important to know that this applies to the test only; office visits are not covered through the CARES Act. Some insurance carriers have agreed to waive cost-sharing for in-network visits associated with the COVID-19 test. It is important to check with your health insurance to fi nd out what will be covered and what is considered an in-network service. If you have questions about your health insurance coverage, call your insurance company prior to getting tested.

Care facilities and COVID-19: Where are the cases? COVID-19 is seriously impacting Minnesota's long-term care facilities. Throughout the state, the majority of those who have died from the virus reside in congregate care facilities like nursing homes and assisted living centers. As of press time, of the 748 total deaths from COVID-19 in Minnesota, 608 (81%) were among residents of such facilities. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) has published a list of more than 200 care facilities with a known exposure to COVID-19. Per the MDH, “Exposure is defi ned as a person diagnosed with COVID-19 who either visited, worked or lived at a congregate care facility while they were contagious.”

Locally, those sites are as follows: • Blaine White Pine • Edgemont Place Alzheimer's Special Care Center • Edgewood Blaine LLC • The Encore at Mahtomedi • The Pillars of White Bear Lake • Presbyterian Homes of Arden Hills • Shoreview Senior Living • The Waters of White Bear Lake • Waverly Gardens Only facilities with 10 or more residents are listed.

Man charged in connection to Shoreview meth bust BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR

A nearly yearlong drug investigation ended after officials found illegal drugs worth an estimated $615,000 in a Shoreview apartment. Thirty-year-old Omar Damacio Ruiz Penaloza, of Inver Grove Heights, was arrested and later charged in federal court. Officials from the Anoka-Hennepin Narcotics and Violent Crimes Task Force said that on May 8, agents seized 111 pounds of methamphetamine and 3.5 pounds of cocaine while raiding the apartment. The case has been under investigation since June 2019. Officials said they relied on the help of a confidential informant. Officers executed a search warrant to enter the apartment, where they found Ruiz Penaloza. According to a complaint fi led in Ramsey County District Court, he was wearing

black gloves, which are often worn to avoid burning when handling large Ruiz quantities of metham- Penaloza phetamine. Roughly 49 pounds of methamphetamine in PVC pipes was found inside a suitcase in the apartment, as well as another approximate 30 pounds in PVC pipes in a second suitcase. They found more meth, in addition to the 3.5 pounds of cocaine, in plastic bags throughout the unit. Ruiz Penaloza was arrested at the scene. On May 15, he was charged with one count of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. He made his initial appearance before Magistrate Judge David T. Shultz in U.S. District Court in Minneapolis and will remain in jail, pending further proceedings.

Citing progress made to prepare for peak of infection, Gov. Tim Walz announced a measured, cautious “turning of the dial” toward a new normal. The stay-at-home order expired May 18, and the governor has replaced it with a new order that brings back more social interactions. Titled “Stay Safe MN,” Minnesotans are still asked to stay close to home and limit travel to what is essential. But the order allows gatherings with friends and family in groups of 10 or fewer. All gatherings are limited to 10 and social distancing with masks, handwashing and other safety measures should be followed to protect each other. An additional executive order will allow retail stores, malls and main street businesses to reopen for in-person shopping as long as they have a COVID-19 Preparedness Plan in place that incorporates social distancing protocols for workers and customers and limits occupancy to no more than 50 percent of the establishment’s occupant capacity. The Department of Employment & Economic Development (DEED) estimates that this action will enable up to 37,000 more workers to safely return to work over the next several weeks. “This is not the time for sudden movements,” Gov. Walz said. “We are not flipping a switch and going back to normal all at once. We are slowly moving a dial and introducing more interaction between people over time. As we take cautious steps forward, it is more important than ever that we protect those most at risk, support workers and all do our part to slow the spread of the virus.” The governor also announced he is directing his cabinet to assemble similar guidance on how to safely reopen bars, restaurants, barbershops and salons beginning June 1. This will coincide with a significant increase in testing, tracing and isolating the virus in the state.

COPING WITH ASSAULT: ‘You are not alone’ FROM PAGE 1

Aftermath Jane was not able to tell her family or friends about the assault for well over a month after it happened. Anxiety and depression set in and she decided she needed to reach out to her primary physician. “I remember driving in my car — I was going to meet with a client for work — when the doctor called for my appointment, and I just vomited everything that happened out to her. She was the first person I told,” she said. “She was super kind, she told me how sorry she was and that it wasn’t my fault.” Jane began seeing a therapist and psychiatrist in July 2015. After only three appointments with her therapist, she stopped going to appointments because she found she just wasn’t ready to talk about it. Moore said, “The more that we don’t deal with those things, the harder it is when you start to actually address them.” It took Jane two years to work up the courage to see a therapist again. This time, she saw a trauma therapist. “That is a really big turning point for the healing pro-

cess for victims, to realize that it is not their fault,” Moore explained. “I think our society reinforces victim blaming. It is built into our society that somehow the victim of these crimes somehow had some responsibility in it.” Jane was diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), which is caused by repeated trauma over months or years, rather than a single event. Jane disclosed that she was also abused and neglected as a child. “It (the assault) affects my everyday life greatly. I don’t have a break from it ever, but that is normal when you are going through trauma therapy and you are working on it,” Jane said. “I have flashbacks every day, and I relive the event several times a day.” Five years after the assault, Jane has night terrors and trouble sleeping. She is on a handful of medications, doesn’t go to bars, is cautious of her surroundings and cannot go outside at night. She is still not able to talk about the assault in detail with her friends. She has been in a relationship with her partner of almost five years and requires very strict boundaries. “Luckily, I have a very understanding partner who respects me on that.”

Congratulations to our graduating seniors!

Advice Jane wants survivors who may find themselves in a similar situation to know that it is normal to feel guilty if you choose to not report the assault. “The guilt that you feel, and hoping that it doesn’t happen to another person, is normal,” she said. “It hurts and sucks knowing that you didn’t report it and somebody else California-based could get hurt. That doesn’t illustrator Jacqueline Lin have anything to do with you; created this Fire Rose that has everything to do Unity symbol, which many with the perpetrator.” survivors of sexual assault, Jane added,“It is not and will never, ever be your fault, including Lady Gaga, have now permanently inked on no matter how much you their bodies as a tattoo. feel like it is, no matter what you were wearing or if you weren’t careful enough, it is never going to be your fault.” She also recommends that victims seek help from a trauma therapist. Moore said Alexandra House advocates and advocates of other organizations are there to listen, walk you through the options available and support you in whatever option you choose. “There is help out there, and you are not alone. If you call Alexandra House, there is no judgment there, it is all confidential ... Just know that there are people there to listen,” she said. “Nobody is going to say, ‘Why were you in that restaurant or bar?’ ‘Why did you walk down that street at night by yourself?’ That is not going to happen.” Tina Bronson, marketing director, explained that advocates can be there with you if you decide to report the assault or go to the hospital for injuries or a rape kit. Many hospitals are not allowing advocates inside right now because of COVID-19; however, advocates are available by phone 24/7. “I think a lot of people are afraid to go to the hospital right now. The police are still seeing the crimes, but victims and survivors are not reaching out like they would have,” Moore said. “There is a lot of fear not only for themselves, thinking they might get sick, but when they call the police and get their perpetrator in jail, that person might get sick.”

Weather tidbits

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com The official start date of summer is still a good 3 plus weeks away, June 20 at 4:43pm, but most of us recognize Memorial Day as the start of summer. Off to a cabin or a camp for a 3-day weekend might feel different this year. The warmer weather this past week and the opening of smaller shops really brought out more people. It was nice to see. Much of May was spent with below normal temperatures and the late surge in temperatures helped push temperatures near normal. Rainfall, which had been almost nonexistent, received a nice boost not only from the May 16-17 rainfall, but also from some timely late month lighter rains. Time to enjoy summer! Nature Notes: I noticed many online posts of fawns being born, foxes and other new wildlife emerging. Dandelions are turning to seed.

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

“SELFIE� (NR)

[SOME STRONG LANGUAGE AND SUGGESTIVE REFERENCES.] [OPENS MAY 29 AND RENTS FOR A 48-HOUR PERIOD FOR $19.99 ON NEARLY ALL ON-DEMAND PLATFORMS.] — Wonderful music highlights this captivating, entertaining, behindthe-scenes, star-studded (Ice Cube, Bill Pullman, Eddie Izzard, ZoÍ Chao, Diplo, June Diane Raphael, and Deniz Akdeniz), unpredictable, 113-minute romantic comedy in which a workaholic, doggedly determined assistant (Dakota Johnson) in Los Angeles dreams of being a music producer while struggling to get noticed by her longtime, egotistical, aging superstar singing boss (Tracee Ellis Ross) and then posing as a record producer in an attempt to help a talented singer (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) she meets and quickly falls for.

[SUBTITLED] [DVD ONLY] — Agostino Ferrente’s insightful, gritty, fascinating, down-to-Earth, 78-minute, 2019 documentary that follows 16-yearold, Italian bar waiter Alessandro, who is estranged from his father, and his 16-year-old, diabetic, aspiring barber best friend Pietro as they use their smartphones in selfie mode to film themselves in their daily lives in the violent, gang-infested, seaside Traiano neighborhood of Naples during 2017 while reminiscing about teenage friend Davide Bifolco who was mistaken.

Your guide to local business updates

ST. PAUL — Minnesota is the fi rst state to ban trichloroethylene (TCE), a toxic chemical that can increase risk for certain types of cancer and other serious health issues. The Minnesota House of Representatives approved a bill May 13 prohibiting use of TCE, following the Senate's bipartisan lead three weeks ago. Authored by Rep. Ami Wazlawik (DFL – White Bear Township), the bill will protect Minnesotans from the carcinogen, which for years was spewed into the air surrounding the Water Gremlin plant in White Bear Township. Gov. Tim Walz signed the bill into law Saturday, May 16. “No Minnesotan should experience preventable health risks due to exposure to toxic chemicals,” said Rep. Wazlawik, who led the push to prohibit TCE. “After months of hard work with community members, we were able to pass a strong TCE ban with bipartisan support. I’m grateful to the White Bear

Spokesperson Sheri Smith said NCCG is ecstatic that Minnesota is fi rst to outlaw the chemical, but notes there is still work to do. The game plan now is to focus on an Office of the Legislative Auditor request made last fall to investigate both Water Gremlin and how the environmental violations were handled by MPCA, Smith said. "We also know there has to be a better health study done on our citizens," she added. "Every few weeks we hear of someone else getting cancer, cancers linked to exposure to volatile organic compounds like TCE." It has taken a village to get TCE outlawed, noted the NCCG co-founder. Smith said the community is fortunate to have area legislators passionate about the issue who got the job done. Debra Neutkens

Area Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group who fought tirelessly to make this bill possible. Thanks to their efforts, Minnesotans will no longer be exposed to TCE.” The legislation prohibits use of TCE after June 1, 2022. Facilities with air quality permits will need to replace the chemical with a safer, less toxic alternative by that date. The bill also provides $250,000 in interest-free loans to help small businesses reduce TCE usage. The news is gratifying for the Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group (NCCG), which relentlessly lobbied the Legislature for a TCE ban. The group, founded by five women who live near the Water Gremlin plant, formed after the company admitted leaking higher-than-permitted levels of TCE for nearly 17 years. The legislation is named after them and called the "White Bear Area Neighborhood Concerned Citizens Group Ban TCE Act."
