City leaders respond to death of George Floyd
Floral shop donates $10k worth of flowers to Floyd memorial
BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR
Within five hours, Tempelis said, “we filled an empty 15-passenger van to absolute capacity,” and brought shelf-stable food, along with ready-to-eat food and beverages, to neighborhoods in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The next day, Tempelis learned that flowers at the Floyd memorial on 38th and Chicago had been trampled overnight. Right away, she sprang to action, packing up every single flower in the store to hand out for free. “We immediately put all of our blooming stems into buckets and headed down,” Tempelis said. “Dozens of people were able to lay a stem on (George Floyd's) memorial to pay their respects.”
The Shoreview City Council’s June 1 meeting was held exactly one week after George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died in police custody in Minneapolis—an anniversary that did not go unnoticed by Shoreview councilmembers. “We’ve had a week like we’ve never seen before and I pray we’ll never see again,” said Mayor Sandy Martin. “We’ve seen the very best, and we’ve seen the very worst of Minnesota citizens.” Floyd died May 25 after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for several minutes while he was handcuffed on the ground. Floyd was arrested after he was accused of passing a counterfeit $20 bill at Cup Foods in south Minneapolis. Chauvin has since been charged with second-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in Hennepin County. In the days since, Floyd’s death has sparked protests and riots throughout the Twin Cities. Shoreview has largely been spared from the rioting, but Martin said that residents have not ignored the needs the rioting has laid bare. “We saw some great responses from Shoreview businesses and Shoreview individuals. Several businesses took up collections of all sorts of equipment and supplies that people might need and delivered them during the day on Saturday and Sunday to the residents of north Minneapolis,” she said. “Individuals were collecting things. I stopped at one of the grocery stores yesterday, and there was absolutely nothing on the shelves. I know that this wasn’t hoarding; this was people buying supplies so that they could provide them to people who don’t have access to shopping right now.” Councilmember Cory Springhorn said that Floyd’s death and the ensuing protests have prompted him to do “a lot of soul searching.” “When I read about the killing of George Floyd, I probably said a curse

Allie Tempelis, owner of Lexington Floral, passes out free flowers at the George Floyd memorial, near the site of his death in south Minneapolis. BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR
When Allie Tempelis, owner of Lexington Floral, learned of George Floyd's death at the hands of Minneapolis police, she committed herself to do whatever she—and her store—could to help. Floyd, a black man, died May 25 after Derek Chauvin, a white, nowfi red Minneapolis police officer, knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes while he was on the ground handcuffed. Floyd had been taken into custody after allegedly using a counterfeit $20 bill at Cup Foods in Minneapolis. His death was captured on a video that has since spread worldwide, sparking both national and international protests against racism and police brutality. Meanwhile, 38th Street and

Chicago Avenue, the intersection in south Minneapolis where Floyd was killed, has become a makeshift memorial to him. It is now home to a mural bearing Floyd's likeness, where signs, cards and flowers have been placed in memory of Floyd and other victims of police brutality. Tempelis said Floyd's death struck a chord with her and other Lexington Floral employees. “I felt called to action last week, as I'm sure many did, after witnessing such injustices happening to George Floyd and the community of color,” she said. “We heard that many in Minneapolis were left without grocery stores or transportation after the ensuing riots, so we set up an impromptu food drive on Friday (May 29), only getting the word out on our Facebook page.”

Mounds View senior named US Presidential Scholar Aunika Zheng is ending the school year on a high note, having been recently named a U.S. Presidential Scholar. Zheng, a senior at Mounds View High School, is one of just two high school seniors in Minnesota to be given such an honor. The U.S. Presidential Scholar program was created in 1964 to “recognize and honor some of our nation’s most distinguished graduating seniors.� At least two students—one male and one female—from each state are named Presidential Scholars each year. Zheng was named one of 161 finalists, selected from a pool of 621 semifinalists. She called the award “a huge honor.� “I really didn’t expect to be named. When I was named a semifinalist along with six or seven other people in the state, I was like, ‘Wow, this is already an honor to be named along with these other students,’� she said. “I really did not think I would be chosen as a scholar in the end, so it really was a great surprise for me.� This fall, Zheng will attend Columbia University in New York City, where she plans on studying biomedical engineering. “I think that interest stems from my high school experiences,� she said. Throughout her time at Mounds View High School, Zheng has been active in
mental health outreach efforts, most notably founding a support group called the Bandana Project. “Students are trained on how to talk and interact with people who have or might have struggles with mental health,â€? she explained. “Basically, it’s a support system, and students wear bandanas on their backpacks and carry resource cards with mental health resources, like contact information for centers and hotlines ‌ Anyone who might need someone to talk to can go up to someone who’s wearing a bandana.â€? After a classmate died of a malignant brain tumor during Zheng’s freshman year, she founded a brain cancer awareness club. She has also been active in Mounds View’s Science Olympiad team, which has won the Minnesota state tournament 13 times, the most of any high school in Minnesota Science Olympiad history. Those various experiences, Zheng said, have deepened her interest in biomedical engineering —particularly neural engineering — which she is looking forward to exploring further throughout her college years. Presidential Scholars typically receive an expensepaid trip to Washington, D.C., which culminates in a ceremony at the White House. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, those in-person events have been canceled. Instead, Presidential Scholars will be recognized and celebrated online.

The Shoreview Press invited local athletes by email through their coaches to comment on the unprecedented loss of an entire season due to the pandemic. Two who responded were senior members of the baseball and boys track teams, both expected to be outstanding teams. Brett Bateman, who has signed with the Gophers, lamented missing a chance to contend for the state baseball championship after reaching state last year and placing fi fth. “Well, it hurts so bad,� said the senior pitcher/outfielder. “We were ranked fi rst in the state and had one of the most talented teams in Minnesota. We all worked so hard this offseason to win
for Mounds View but now it’s gone ‌ I miss playing with the guys I’ve been playing with/ against for over 10 years now.â€? Bateman, also a basketball player, added, “When we lost to Park Center (in the section semifi nals), I didn’t know that was going to be the last time I wore a Mustang jersey.â€? As much as he wanted to play, Bateman said, “But it must be in a safe manner.â€? Alec Nelson, senior track star and member of the Mustangs state champion cross country team last fall, said, “I was devastated. I was really looking forward to having an unforgettable season.â€? “I miss practicing and competing alongside my teammates the most. I did have hope that the
season would eventually resume, but that hope started to slip away once Mounds View closed for the remainder of the school year.� Nelson worked out on his own, grateful, he said, for the help of a couple of alumni. He had anticipated a successful, outstanding season, with goals of making all-state in the 800 and his team contending for state titles in both the MSHSL and trueteam meets. “I also looked forward to lowering my personal best in the 800 and attempting to break the school’s 4x400 relay record with my teammates Josh, Santino and Terry,� said Nelson, who plans to continue in track and crosscountry at University of North Dakota.

‘Kids are still waiting’: Adoption and COVID-19 BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR
COVID-19 has impacted many aspects of our world, but one thing it hasn’t changed is that there are children in need of loving homes. There are more than 900 children in Minnesota’s foster care system who are waiting to be placed with adoptive families, said Rachel Walstad. Walstad is the executive director of MN Adopt, a nonprofit organization that supports families throughout the various stages of the adoption process. “The reality is that kids are still waiting,â€? she said. “The pandemic hasn’t changed that.â€? It has, however, changed how state and private adoption agencies are currently operating. “They’re working really hard to figure out what barriers exist because of our current situation and seeing how many of those they can remove,â€? Walstad said. “Whether that’s moving more trainings online or having meetings between a family and a social worker via Zoom ‌ Things like that allow families to continue to move through the process so that we can find homes for these kids.â€? That means if families have been considering adoption, they shouldn’t let the pandemic postpone their plans — no matter where they are in the process. “If people are still interested, they should be contacting us (MN Adopt) or their county or their agency,â€? Walstad said. “Just because COVID-19 is happening doesn’t mean that if they’ve been thinking about adoption, they have to wait till it’s all over to start the process. They can continue to move along as feels comfortable for them, because the need is definitely still there.â€? Interest in adoption hasn’t waned since COVID-19 struck Minnesota. In fact, it has increased. At least, that is true at Children’s Home Society & Lutheran Social Services (CHSLSS), where Heidi Wiste is the director of foster care adoption. “We haven’t seen a slowdown in any of our intake. We’ve actually seen people continue to come through (and) continue to inquire about foster care and adoption,â€? said Wiste. That surprised CHSLSS staff, according to Wiste. “We were thinking, ‘Well, who’s going to want to step forward now? People are losing their jobs. People are furloughed,’ and yet we have families who are like, ‘I’m home; I can complete my paperwork now,’ and ‘I’m home; I can do these trainings,’â€? she said. “They haven’t let the setbacks in what’s happening to them personally stop them from learning more and taking that next step.â€? Modern technology, Wiste also noted, has helped make that continuation possible. “Before, where we would have done most of this work in person, we’ve just moved everything online. Although we don’t have that in-person contact, we do at least have a video component,â€? she said. “Although it has a few drawbacks ‌ it has the added benefit of helping more people move through the process.â€? Even amid the pandemic, children have been able to transition into their adoptive homes, though with proper precautions in place. “We don’t want to put anybody at risk. When a placement is happening, we’re making sure that everybody is comfortable and safe to do that,â€? Wiste said. “These 905 children still need permanency, despite social distancing and despite COVID-19. It’s been really wonderful to see what we’ve still been able to do, despite how we aren’t able to do it in the most preferred manner.â€? Shoreview resident Maren Badger and her husband, Casey, can attest to the power of adoption in their own lives. They have six children, four of whom they adopted from the foster care system. After the births of their two biological children, Maren said, she and Casey started looking into adoption as a means of growing their family. “I’m a Type 1 diabetic, and I have been since I was 2. We knew at some point it wasn’t going to be possible for me to have children,â€? she said. “After 20-plus years of being a Type 1 diabetic, it just gets harder and harder.â€? Maren and Casey originally considered international adoption, but the fi nancial and time demands proved too great. “The travel expenses and all the other unknowns were overwhelming,â€? Maren said. “We had two small children. We couldn’t just up and leave them for six weeks at a time to make an adoption run to go to China or Russia or wherever it may be.â€? Though they were then unfamiliar with the fosteradoption system, they looked further into it after a friend planted the seed. “I can’t remember who it was, maybe someone at church. They said, ‘Well, why don’t you look at domestic (adoption)?’ I was like, ‘Oh, we can do that?’â€? A Ramsey County adoption class gave Maren and Casey an overview of the process, but Maren said it
also worried them. “We were completely freaked out. We said, ‘Oh no, no, we can’t do this,’â€? she remembered. “But we went home, talked about it some more, kind of went back and forth for a while, but then just said, ‘You know what? Let’s just go into foster care, and if a situation arises, then we’ll see where it goes.â€? They got licensed for foster care through a private agency and were nearly immediately placed with two half-siblings, both of whom have what Maren described as significant special needs. “Everything that we had heard in the class that we were afraid of happening was happening. I was running late to work, and having to chase kids through the yard and so forth ‌ It was a complete disaster at fi rst,â€? she said. “But we bonded with them, and they bonded with us.â€? Maren and Casey adopted one of the children, Amber, who will be 18 this summer. Her birth brother was adopted by another family, for whom the Badgers provide respite care—short-term relief for primary caregivers—about two or three times a year. After adopting Amber, the Badgers continued to open their home to children in the foster care system, caring for about 17 foster children over the years. When they received a call about two sisters— Kinsley and Leshia, then 3 and 5 years old—they immediately agreed to take them in. A few days later, the girls’ brother, Jeremiah, who had been living in a separate home, joined them. “We took them all in, and they just fit so wonderfully with our family, and we got along with their birth mother really, really wonderfully,â€? Maren said. “We had a fabulous relationship with her. She would come to our house on Christmas ‌ I’d text her, and she’d text me asking how the kids were doing that day. We’d send her their school pictures. It was a very positive relationship.â€? The children’s birth mother had been working to regain custody, but she ultimately decided her children were better off in Maren and Casey’s hands. “She just decided she couldn’t do it. She had the fi rst one at 15, and so she was a very, very young mother and didn’t have any support,â€? Maren said. “She called us and asked if she could sign the kids over to us ‌ For us, it was just one of those things where you say yes, no hesitation.â€? In September 2018, their birth mother died of a drug overdose, which Maren said was “a gut punchâ€?

I think that meant a lot to her.� Now, with six children all under the age of 18, the Badgers have a bigger family and busier dayto-day lives than they originally anticipated, but Maren said they couldn’t be happier. Her family’s experience with the foster care and adoption systems has helped dispel misconceptions she previously had, and she hopes to help dispel those misconceptions for others. “I wish more people knew about (domestic adoption). I really do, because I’ve had people whisper in my ear, surprised, ‘They’re just normal kids.’ Yep, they are,� she said. “It’s been wonderful for our family, and it has exposed other families that we know to get involved in foster care as well because they’ve seen us do it and be successful, even with our struggles.�

Risk awareness
W
hen I began writing this column my original intent was to highlight some information and strategies that could possibly help as we attempt to live, work and safely engage in day-to-day activities during the crisis of a worldwide pandemic that has just passed the sobering milestone of 100,000 deaths in the United States. When I got to the point of working on a conclusion, all night coverage provided by local news outlets showed several fires, including the Third Precinct headquarters of the Minneapolis Police Department, burning throughout the cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. What started as mostly peaceful protests following the death of George Floyd while in police custody on Memorial Day, devolved into numerous acts of looting, destruction and arson. The level of anger, violence and destruction recalls (and appears to exceed) the race riots that occurred in Minneapolis and other cities across the country in 1967. With the protests and upheaval adding to an already extremely challenging situation, the underlying COVID-19 crisis remains. During a daily briefing, Minnesota State Health Commissioner Jan Malcolm warned that the mass protests over police brutality could trigger a Angle of surge in the outbreak. It seems that now, more than ever, we need to View realistically assess the risks of the situations we encounter. Paul Dols While a student and young adult, as a matter of necessity to save money, I lived for periods of time in what could be termed marginal (or tough) inner city neighborhoods, including North Minneapolis. In order to avoid a constant state of fear, I adopted a mantra of “vigilant but not paranoid” similar to the heightened awareness required to safely ride a motorcycle while still finding some enjoyment in the experience. There were definitely times when I had to rely on experience and also intuition to actively avoid situations that had a high probability of trouble. I share this while knocking on wood, because I realize that there are no absolute guarantees of safety. Throughout my life I have experienced the inexplicable, sudden loss of friends and loved ones at young ages, so I’m also acutely aware that the overall statistics only tell a small part of the story. While attempting to balance and assess risk during this continually evolving, worldwide pandemic, I’ve found that access to trusted sources of information is proving to be vitally important in maintaining both physical health and emotional well being. I’ve accepted the fact that there are many forces at play during this crisis that are far beyond our control, but with this acceptance comes the realization that there are also some variables in our lives that can be managed. Following a link provided by the New York Times Daily Briefing Editor, I was led to an article titled “The Risks – Know Them – Avoid Them” by Erin Bromage, an associate professor of biology at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. I’ve found this clearly written and understandable essay to be a valuable resource for assessing risk factors in a variety of scenarios. At the core of the piece is a formula: Successful Infection = Exposure to Virus x Time. This formula, combined with the current information about how the COVID-19 virus spreads, makes it relatively easy to quickly analyze the level of risk involved in a variety of activities ranging from low to high. The article contains many details about the risks of specific situations, including work, churches and restaurants, but, in general most outdoor activities that include social distancing are low risk, while “any environment that is enclosed, with poor circulation and a high density of people spells trouble.” At this point, I still believe that the intelligent and consistent implementation of safety strategies recommended by health care experts can create an equation that helps avoid a worse case scenario, while still allowing us to live our lives fully.

If you’re within 10 years from retirement, you might start looking at rebalancing your portfolio to provide you with more conservative investments that come with a guarantee or aren’t tied to market performance. In this particular market, opportunities do exist. With historically low-tax rates, this is one of the best opportunities for a Roth conversion (converting a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA), we might see in our lifetime. But it’s important to weigh your options and understand if this move is the best one for your personal financial situation. With the right mindset and a customized financial plan, you may find it easier to cope with this ongoing market volatility. And to begin looking for opportunities.

COVID-19 is causing the market to react, you can start to take a deep sigh of relief. Market downturns are very normal, and although we haven’t experienced exactly this, we have experienced market swings like this in the past. There have been 26 bear markets since 1926. The average pullback was about 35%, and the average recovery time was only 299 days. This is important because often an investor’s response to a volatile market is to make financial moves that cause them to “buy high and sell low” – precisely the opposite of what you want to do.

City facilities closed, playgrounds open
Shoreview City Hall and the Shoreview Community Center are closed and will remain closed until further notice. City playgrounds are now open, but as they are not regularly cleaned or sanitized, city staff states that residents use them at their own risk.
Farmers market opens June 9, restrictions in place
The Shoreview farmers market opens for the season June 9, but operational changes have been made due to COVID-19. Shoppers will be asked to enter and exit the market at one main entrance. Public handwashing stations and hand sanitizers will be available at three points throughout the market. Vendor booths will be spaced farther apart to avoid crowding. Vendors may not offer samples, and no on-site consumption of food will be allowed. The market will run from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays through Aug. 25, then 3 to 6 p.m. Sept. 1 through Oct. 13. The market will be located in the lower parking lot of the Shoreview Community Center, 4580 N. Victoria St. More details can be found at shoreviewmn.gov/parks-rec/special-events/farmers-market.
SHOREVIEW CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Shoreview City Council took the following action at its June 1 meeting, held via teleconference: • Accepted the low bid from Northwest Asphalt for the Turtle Lake Road Rehabilitation project. The project will mill off the top 2 inches of pavement on Turtle Lake Road and overlay the surface with 2 inches of new asphalt pavement. The council approved plans and specifications April 20, and bids were opened May 19. Northwest Asphalt will be awarded a construction contract in the amount of $158,824.58. • Approved a change order in the amount of $69,594.40 for the Turtle Lake Road Rehabilitation project. Public Works Director Mark Maloney said that it was unusual for city staff to recommend a simultaneous approval and an amendment of a contract, “but in this particular, staff believes we have a potential win-win here.” The bids for the Turtle Lake project came in lower than expected, Maloney said, which would enable the pavement on Tanglewood Drive from Lexington Avenue to Hodgson Road to be rehabilitated within budget. Rehabilitation involves a 2-inch mill and overlay, which will extend the service life of the asphalt by 10-15 years. • Authorized the acquisition of a property at 5931 Lexington Avenue North for affordable housing selected the Community Action Partnership of Ramsey and Washington counties (CAPRW) as the city's housing partner. City Planner Kathleen Castle said that renovations will be needed to ensure the property complies with current housing standards and the needs of a low-to-moderate income family. The estimated cost of those improvements is $103,000. Under the agreement, Shoreview will retain ownership of the property, and CAPRW will renovate the property and manage it as an affordable rental home for a minimum of seven years. • Adopted ordinances 981 and 982, revising the Xcel Energy gas and electric franchise fees, effective Jan. 1, 2021. The residential electrical franchise fee will increase by $1.25 per month to $3.75, and the gas franchise fee will increase 95 cents per month to $2.25, resulting in a total increase of $26.40 per year.

COMMUNITY BRIEF Animal Humane Society seeking pocket pet adopters
During the COVID-19 pandemic the Animal Humane Society (AHS) has seen cats and dogs flying out the door with wonderful, loving adopters. But sadly, one group of AHS' homeless population isn’t getting any attention: pocket pets. AHS is asking pet lovers to consider giving a home to rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils and hamsters. These little animals can help parents teach responsibility to young children and can often be easier to handle than a cat or dog. Pocket pets do have specific requirements as far as feeding, treats and toys, so AHS encourages families to do thorough research before making a decision to adopt an animal. AHS’s website (animalhumanesociety.org) has information on the available animals up for adoption on its critter page. The page is updated continually; new animal listings are shown every day. Adoptions are by appointment only.

Today, I am thankful to Apple. I am fortunate to own an Apple phone. Cell phones with cameras have got to be one of the top five greatest inventions of the 20th century. Not only has the internet on my phone assisted me with math while homeschooling my granddaughter (I was a music major, so it is always reassuring to get a second opinion from someone who passed biology or algebra), but our cell phones are contributing to the desperate movement and oft times violent quest for achieving justice and equality in the United States. Without camera footage of Derek Chauvin crushing the life out of George Floyd, without video footage of Ahmaud Arbery being shot and killed while out jogging, without the fi lm of so many other senseless threats of intimidation like what happened to Christian Cooper, all of these tragedies would not be given the assiduity and hopeful justice for these victims. Those who fi lm these injustices are utilizing a tool profoundly supportive in the fi ght for truth and justice. Perhaps we should rethink clipping cameras onto cops; instead, perhaps every black and brown person in America needs a body cam latched on to their body. This insanity has got to stop. Do not sit passively and watch from your widescreen TV what is going down in this country. Engage in worthwhile assistance however you are capable. Donate food or money, vote for people who do not cower in an underground bunker but stand tall and are passionate about providing leadership and words of comfort and hope, write letters, talk with people, LISTEN to people. Every little bit is a good goal, a good deed, a directive push for this movement. Your action is fuel for others to also care and become involved. And do not be afraid. Carry that cell phone always. When you see an injustice, hit that record button.

Shoreview recycling program
The good news: Shoreview began weekly recycling service. The bad news: Shoreview continues to use Eureka Recycling, and I don’t know why. They must be very cheap compared to other fi rms. We moved here in 1997 and have seen good service through the years and promptly get the cans back in the garage. Eureka shows up whenever they feel like it – at times into the evening. I do not look with pride at cans littering our streets. I have called Eureka many times to make sure they are going to show up, and the response is, “We are trying our best.” I wish they—and the city—had higher standards and more pride in neighborhood appeal.

GEORGE FLOYD: ‘Please never let this happen in Shoreview’ to which it provides law enforcement (Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Little Canada, North Oaks, Vadnais Heights and White Bear Township, in addition to Shoreview). “Certainly, I’ve been encouraged by some public statements (Fletcher) has made. I know this is important to him as well,” Springhorn said. “But it’s something that’s been on my mind and my heart a lot, and I want to make sure that the people in our community know that we as a council take their safety seriously, especially people of color who may have questions about the agency that we’ve chosen to use.” Martin said she shared Springhorn’s desire to talk with Fletcher and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office. “I read somewhere this weekend that I thought was a great quote, not to fight with the police but elect the people who hire and fi re them and who manage them. That is our elected official, our sheriff, and I very much support that conversation, so we will try to schedule it as soon as we can,” Martin said. Throughout the meeting, which

Springhorn added that his experiences with the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, which the city of Shoreview contracts for policing, have been positive, but questioned if his race was responsible for that. “I’ve always felt very comfortable with Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office, and the interactions I’ve had have always been excellent with everyone from that office, and in every one of those interactions, I’ve always been white,” he said. “I do start asking myself is there more we could be doing, (whether) there is more we need to do for oversight.” He brought up a desire for councilmembers to meet with Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher to hear about his office’s efforts to prevent police brutality in the cities

LEXINGTON FLORAL: ‘Our community is so incredible’ FROM PAGE 1
The owners of Covet Consign, a consignment store across the street from Cup Foods, later reached out to Lexington Floral asking if the store would continue to provide flowers at the memorial and make floral arrangements, to which Tempelis readily agreed. “Thanks to the contributions of several wholesalers, we were able to deliver almost 50 buckets over three days,” Tempelis said. That equated to nearly $10,000 worth of flowers, which Covet Consign’s owners passed out throughout the week. Floral arrangements made by Lexington Floral also decorated a stage at the memorial site. “Covet happened to have three large vases in their boarded-up store, and we were able to create three arrangements in just 20 minutes,” said Tempelis. But the store’s outreach didn’t stop there. While in south Minneapolis, Tempelis talked
with community organizers about the needs the protests and riots had laid bare. “They said they overwhelmingly (needed) hygiene products and household (supplies),” she said. “Since our food drive ended up being so successful, we decided to hold a similar drive for these products. This time, Lexington Floral filled up four vehicles of donations, which were dropped off at Sanctuary Church in north Minneapolis. Tempelis praised Shoreview residents for their generosity and support. “Our community is so incredible,” she said. Not everyone was so supportive, though, according to Tempelis. “For the last couple hours of our drive, several trucks drove around our store yelling profanities, slowly rolled through our lot, or even parked in our lot as an attempt to intimidate us. “After talking with the local sheriff, it was decided that the best decision was to board up all the windows at the shop. My husband and an extremely
generous group of friends and acquaintances helped us board up the shop in only two hours.” Those boards are still up and are now painted with what Tempelis called “beauty and messages of hope.” Lexington Floral is also offering “Strength, Peace and Power” bouquets of purple orchids. According to the store’s website, “the orchid is a symbol of strength in difficult circumstances. Purple represents power and peace. The clustered design represents solidarity.” All of the proceeds from sales of the bouquets will be donated to one of the following organizations, chosen by the buyer: the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Campaign Zero, a police reform campaign; Fair Fight, which addresses voter suppression; or Reclaim the Block, a Minneapolisbased coalition advocating for alternatives to policing.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF’S REPORTS The Ramsey Th R County C t Sheriff’s Sh iff’ Office reported t d the th followf ll ing selected incidents in Shoreview: • A resident in the 5200 block of Hodgson Road on May 18 reported his grill stolen sometime over the past two months. • A St. Paul man, 58, was arrested at 3:08 p.m. May 18 in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue N. for felony domestic assault, following an argument with his wife over Facebook. It all started when the subject sent one of his wife’s friends a friend request, and his wife of one year didn’t like it. Deputies listened to much he said/she said bickering about who beat up whom. The wife said her husband pushed her into an ironing board and fan; the husband said his wife "sucker-punched" him and hit him over the head with a Bible. Because the husband had three prior convictions in the past 10 years for violating no-contact orders, and because the deputies observed physical marks on the victim’s neck, upper chest area and left arm, the husband was arrested and charged. The subject said his wife must have scratched herself and marked herself after he left. • The Gramsie Corner Mart in the 3900 block of Rice Street at 5:07 p.m. May 19 reported three suspects for presenting a note demanding money.

Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com This past week sure was packed with a few weather events. It featured a little of something for everyone and didn’t leave much, if any, damage. Much of the metro experienced its ďŹ rst 90Âş day of the year on June 1 and then again on June 2. I recorded 88Âş and 87Âş on those dates. With the heat came the humidity and a nice thunderstorm accompanied with pea size hail on June 2. An early morning thunderstorm last Friday, June 5 was of no consequence but did provide 0.28â€? of rain. A sunny day on Saturday turned into a lightning show in the evening, adding 0.20â€? of precipitation. Sunday was sunny, warm and super windy with gusts over 40 mph at times as the southerly winds brought in the heat and humidity again on Monday and Tuesday. Garden Notes: I picked my ďŹ rst strawberries of the season. This is my ďŹ rst successful attempt in growing them. They look great!
