City supports funds for future Victoria Street trail project

Gallery 96 to host plein air workshops

Inspiring artists use the method of plein art painting in sessions offered by the Gallery 96 Art Center. The free classes are from a 2023 grant from the Shoreview Community Foundation. The first session will be from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturday, June 24, at the Lepak-Larson home at Heritage Park. Gallery 96 provides the easels, canvases, paints and brushes. Gallery 96 Art Center President Tom Reynen said, “It’s a great way to explore Shoreview’s beautiful parks.” See story on page 6.

Ramsey County intends to submit a federal regional solicitation application requesting funds for the Victoria Street Trail project. To submit the application, the county needs a resolution from the cities of Shoreview and Roseville in supporting the application and committing to the local cost share.

“Ramsey County is planning to submit for a Safe Routes to School category this summer to help fund the project that would have construction in the 2028-‘29 timeframe,” said Tom Wesolowski, city engineer. “The maximum award for that Safe Routes to School is $1 million, and the county is seeking support from the cities to go ahead and include that information in their funding application.”

Wesolowski said the current estimate for the project from the 2022 study is $3 million and the 2028 estimate, considering inflation, is $4 million.

“So, the remaining costs that would have to be spread between Roseville and Shoreview is about $1.5 million,” Wesolowski said. “Shoreview has a little bit shorter section of the trail. So, what they’d be asking Shoreview for funding would be about $600,000 for this project.”

The background on the project is that Ramsey County initiated a Victoria Street trail study in the fall of 2021.

Capitol recap: Area legislators reflect on session Each year, it is a tradition at Press Publications to touch base with local state representatives and senators to find out how they feel about the legislative session that just wrapped up.

Rep. Kelly Moeller District 40A

This session was historically productive, and will result in transformational change for many Minnesotans across the state. I’m proud of what we accomplished and know that our community will see real Rep. Kelly Moller benefits.

We took definitive action to reduce gun violence by enacting criminal background checks to keep guns out of the hands of those who are prohibited from having them, and red flag laws to prevent those likely to cause harm from doing so. We also passed my provision to increase penalties for those who possess the illegal devices that make guns fully automatic.

My bill to reduce the turn-around time for processing rape kits passed, and we provided funding

for forensic scientists at the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) to reduce backlogs in evidence turn-around time. We took action on crime, including gun violence, fentanyl dealing, organized retail theft, crimes motivated by bias, and more. We made a new crime of carjacking and passed my bill to help law enforcement apprehend offenders using technology.

We provided funding for officer recruitment and violence prevention.

The Legislature invested in Minnesota’s future through numerous proposals directed at youth, including Great Start scholarships for early learners and additional investments in our K-12 students that are linked to inflation. This will benefit our school district and create high quality education across the state. We also provided funding for more mental health supports for students, and my bill to help school districts with their policies around student mental health and suicide prevention passed.

We took action to address climate change and to fix our aging infrastructure. My bonding bill to provide financial assistance to build a new facility for our Lake Johanna Fire Department was enacted. Finally, the Legislature delivered the largest tax cut in state history with credits, rebates and other provisions

Sen. John Marty District 40

The 2023 Session was incredibly productive in addressing Minnesota’s challenges. After years of gridlock, we moved towards an economy that works for everyone — strong schools, safer communities, protection of Sen. John Marty reproductive and human rights.

I didn’t succeed in everything I fought for but, overall, it was a great year for legislation leading to a brighter future.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents in Shoreview: • A Shoreview man, 37, was arrested May 14 in the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway for disorderly conduct and was transported to Regions Hospital because Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies needed to deploy a less lethal 40MM Taser to subdue him.

• A Keep Our Kops Safe (KOPS) alert for assault was issued on a Shoreview woman, 31, May 15, after deputies were called to the scene of a domestic in the 3400 block of Victoria Street N. and discovered that the offender had fled before they arrived.

• A Shoreview man reported a set of wheels and tires stolen from the back of his truck while it was parked in a hotel lot in the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway overnight May 15-16.

• After harassment was reported May 15 in the 900 block of Monterey Court N., the subject agreed to stop the behavior. Nevertheless, the victim was advised on ways to obtain a harassment restraining order (HRO). Harassing texts were reported received May 16 in the 5700 block of Ridge Creek Road. Deputies advised the complainant on how to go about obtaining an HRO. Harassing text messages and calls were reported received May 16 in the 3500 block of Owasso Street. Deputies also advised this complainant on how to obtain an HRO. • Residents in the 5000 block of Ridge Creek Road reported receiving suspicious looking documents May 16. On arrival, deputies verified that the complainant had correctly identified the documents as fraudulent.

• Deputies responded to an ongoing neighbor dispute about water drainage between properties in the 5800 block of Buffalo Lane on May 16. After talking to both parties, deputies advised the complainant on how to go about obtaining an HRO. • Deputies were dispatched out to assist the Minnesota State Patrol at 5:43 p.m. May 17 in the area of Highway 10 and I-35W after a vehicle in a ditch that the occupants were seen fleeing from turned out to be freshly stolen out of Ramsey County. The State Patrol arranged for the inoperable vehicle to be towed. At 5:54 p.m., a Minneapolis woman reported that her unlocked vehicle with the keys inside was stolen from the Rice Creek Dog Park in the 5900 block of Lexington Avenue N. while she was walking her dog. The registered owner was notified that her vehicle had already been recovered in the area of Highway 10 and I-35W. • A window screen in the 3400 block of Kent Street was reported damaged at 4:00 a.m. May 18, possibly by someone seeking access to the building.

The employee let her go with $313.86 in toys, clothing and personal items, but noted the license number of her get-away convertible. A prominent tattoo seen on store surveillance video and the suspect’s Facebook photos positively identified her five days after the initial incident. Her accomplices in the shoplifting spree included another adult woman and two underaged girls.

CITY COUNCIL: Next step for Ramsey County Victoria Street trail project underway FROM PAGE 1

Avenue in Shoreview down to County Road C in Roseville, which is approximately 2 miles in length,” Wesolowski said. “The posted speed limit is between 35 and 40 miles an hour, with an average of almost 5,000 to 6,000 cars per day. It does serve Metro Transit rail 227, and a majority of the section has no separated sidewalks or trails. The pedestrians and bicyclists must use the marked shoulders and in Shoreview, it’s all shoulder.”

According to Wesolowski, the completion of this trail segment is recommended in the city’s current comprehensive plan and supported by the city’s Bikeways and Trails Committee. The trail would connect to existing trails and sidewalks located on adjacent streets, improving the connection between neighborhoods and the city’s existing trail system. The trail

would also provide better connections to three schools: Emmet D. Williams (County Road D), St. Odilia (Victoria Street), and Island Lake Elementary School (Victoria Street).

“Ramsey County conducted four open houses; two of them were in person and two of them were virtual,” Wesolowski said. “They also conducted three online surveys and had two interactive mapping activities, so there was quite a bit of public engagement during the time that the study was being conducted. The open houses were well attended, and residents did respond to the online survey. The majority of the input we received was generally supportive of the trail.”

Council Member Emy Johnson noted that residents expressed concerns about the project at a previous City Council meeting. “Have we heard from

additional residents since then, or were we able to satisfy them with the broader plan?” she asked Wesolowski.

“We did not hear any other comments, and no one else contacted me after that meeting,” Wesolowski responded. “I’m not sure if Brad Martens (city manager) did or anybody else.”

Council Member Shelly Myrland asked if the county will allow community input when the plan starts to get developed.

“With regard to public input for the final design process, it would be very similar to the concept design process,” said Scott Merrick with Ramsey County Public Works. “We would work with your city engineering staff and make sure that all the residents along the corridor know about the project and have input in the final design process.

So if we did get the funding, it would be 2028 or 2029 funding years, so we would typically start the final design process about two years before that, so 2026 or 2027.”

Marsha Soucheray, of Shoreview, has worked with the Bikeways and Trails Committee since 1980 and encourages the city to move forward with the project.

“The thing that we hear more than the people who are saying, ‘Please don’t put it in my backyard’ is after the fact, people come back and they say, ‘I am so glad you put that trail in,’” Soucheray said. “It really is appropriate that we continue to build on the trail system that many many council people have worked on over the years.”

OPINION

4 SHOREVIEW PRESS

www.presspubs.com

JUNE 20, 2023

Let me introduce myself

I

am Sebastian Studier, a summer intern at Press Publications.

I graduated from Forest Lake Area High School in 2021 and just completed my junior year at Bethel University, where I am majoring in English education and minoring in journalism. At Bethel, I have explored my journalistic interests by serving as the sports reporter for the student newspaper, the Clarion, in addition to completing a spring semester internship in writing with Bethel’s athletic department where I wrote game recaps as well as feature stories. I also play on Bethel’s club hockey team and serve as a BUILD student mentor, tutoring and serving as a mentor for students with intellectual disabilities.

Rewinding a bit, I was born in Sebastian’s Maplewood and spent the majority of my early childhood life in Cottage Script Grove from age zero to 5. I attended my first day of kindergarten at Sebastian Columbus Elementary, and my family shortly thereafter moved to Studier Columbus, where I still reside today.

Growing up, my days were filled with school of course, but sports, and then more sports. My elementary school days were spent playing a full plate of baseball, basketball, hockey, and lacrosse before I attended Century Junior High and eventually, Forest Lake High School where I narrowed down my sports interest to lacrosse alone and played through my senior year.

This summer, I will be growing as a journalist and professional at Press Publications, working a full-time internship through the week, coming into the office Monday through Friday while spending my weekends ideally outdoors, avoiding mosquitoes, and spending time with the people that matter to me.

My internship at Press Publications will last through the three months of summer and I will be working a full 40 hours per week. In my first few days in the office, I have been impressed with both the friendliness and interconnectedness that exists in the building. I have seen many different smiling faces and have already received valuable advice from multiple different voices. From the news department where I will be working, to the sales department, to the production department, and beyond, it feels like a team rather than a collection of individuals. Growing up competing as a member of multiple sports teams, I know that a successful team is one that features unique individuals with individual strengths but works together towards a common goal utilizing teamwork. I can sense this team atmosphere already at Press Publications.

I’ve always had a passion and drive to write. Writing always came easily to me, and I always found that I could say what I couldn’t put into words aloud into writing. I remember my parents always telling me before I went to college to minor in something you’re passionate about, and that’s what I did. Although I aspire to become a high school English teacher, I truly believe that my journalistic experience will weave itself into my future career in some fashion, whether that be teaching journalism classes to high school students while advising a student lead newspaper, or simply continuing to write freelance in my spare time. Even though I don’t see myself working as a real-life journalist in the future, I still look forward to the invaluable experience and opportunities that my summer spent in this newsroom will create for me, whether those experiences contribute to educating the next generation of journalists, or even pull me into a full-on career change, because you just never know, after all.

Sebastian Studier is a summer intern at Press Publications.

Know the symptoms of infected trees in Shoreview

W

hen I was growing up in St. Paul, the city had a huge number of elm trees that created beautiful canopies over city streets. Dutch Elm disease took too many of those trees. This month’s column was born from a conversation I had with Shoreview residents about a disease now affecting ash trees.

These residents Movers & wanted to ensure that Shakers all Shoreview residents were Sue aware of how Denkinger to identify and treat ash trees affected by the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). Since 2011, our trees have been affected by EAB. This insect is an invasive beetle that kills all ash trees native to Minnesota. The larvae of the beetle eat the layer underneath the bark of the tree.

This cuts off the movement of nutrients and water necessary for the tree to survive.

Unfortunately, like many other cities, Shoreview is within

the EAB infested area. This means that all ash trees in the city either are or will become infested with EAB unless they are treated. It’s important to begin treatment as soon as possible.

So, what are the symptoms of an infected ash tree? They are as follows: • Canopy decline which means thinning of the outer branches of the tree.

• High woodpecker activity as woodpeckers feed on the larvae beneath the bark causing the outer bark to fall off.

• Shoot/suckers growing from the trunk of the tree.

What are the options for an infected ash tree?

Unfortunately, the only options for ash trees are treatment or removal. Trees with low levels of infestation can be treated by injections that must be re-applied every other year.

An example of a low level of infestation is a tree canopy with less than 30% canopy decline.

The city of Shoreview’s website contains information about licensed tree service companies for residents needing tree removal or treatment.

There is also information about EAB, how to identify ash trees and infected ash trees,

as well as a contact if you’d like someone from the city to determine if your ash tree is infected.

Since 2012, the city has treated over 3,000 private trees and 500 public trees. The city-staffed program reached capacity this year. Private, licensed tree service companies offer the same service.

Shoreview has been using multiple methods to slow the spread and manage EAB. They include treatments, removals, social media posts and communications, education, and replanting. Ash trees on city property are either being treated or planned for removal.

In fact, the city has budgeted for a significant increase in removal and replanting over the next several years.

What’s important to note is early identification and treatment are critical to extending the life of ash trees as much as possible. I hope this information is helpful and do check the city website at shoreviewmn.gov/trees for more.

According to Laliberte, the Shoreview/Arden Hills Lions Club participates in food drives, toy donations, park cleanup and Feed My Starving Children.

“Because we are small, we don’t have the capacity to make huge global contributions, and that’s one reason we want to grow membership,” Laliberte said. “We want to be more equipped to help out in times of need or, God forbid, we have a tornado or there’s a crisis happening. There are so many ways that we can spend that money with scholarships and food drives. My focus is to build membership and then we can start looking at doing some bigger projects.”

Laliberte said the Shoreview/Arden Hills Lions Club has five events planned this summer.

Club members will be serving ice cream on June 28 and July 12 at the Shoreview Concert in the Commons at the Haffeman Pavilion. The Lions Club also will be collecting eyeglasses and selling Culver’s custard sundaes.

Members will host the popular Running of the Melons at 2 p.m. July 23 at the Slice of Shoreview. The first-place winner will take home a $500 gift card from Old National Bank.

Ramsey County Deputy Alicia Ouellette will be speaking about public safety at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Aug.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

On the national debt

What is an economy’s purpose? 1986 U.S. Catholic Bishops’ pastoral letter, “Economic Justice ...”: “the economy should serve the people; people should not serve the economy.”

The manufactured “debt ceiling crisis” is discussion of American priorities. Follow money. WHO gets money? Is taxation fair, based on ability to pay?

Since 1960, Congress raised debt ceiling 49 times for Republican presidents; 29 times for Democrats; three times for Trump.

U.S. Government is a “business” delivering services, paid by revenue. “Tax cheats cost U.S. $1T a year” (4/14/21): “Most … unpaid taxes … the result of evasion by … wealthy and large corporations …” “Report: Amazon got tax refund for 2018” (2/17/19). “Bill Gates: Higher taxes for the rich” (1/5/20).

“IRS to cut estate examiners … Bush administration to fire 157 lawyers, 17 others who audit wealthiest filers” (7/23/06). “IRS Faces Big Backlogs As … GOP Pushes Cuts” (1/12/23). “Tax Scofflaws IRS needs billions to make trillions” (1/15/22): “House Republicans voted … to block new funding for the agency…”

1789-1980 U.S. national debt under $1 trillion, January, 1981. Reagan, Bush II, Trump tax cuts (for rich and corporations). Trump’s 2017 tax cut passed KNOWING it would increase debt. Republicans: that immoral tax cut “off limits” in 2023 negotiations (25% of debt - 5/7/23).

Democrats don’t escape. They pushed for more “social” spending — generally aid to “normal” people (ASSUME some not!)

Collins and Yeskel’s “Economic Apartheid in America: “economic inequality and insecurity in America”

(2005). Wilkinson and Pickett’s “The Spirit Level”: “why greater equality makes societies stronger.”

Nobel Prize winner Stiglitz’ “The Price of Inequality”: “How today’s divided society endangers our future.”

1947-73 America, this conversation wouldn’t occur.

Since 1980, the economy, America, aren’t the same.

Some didn’t want it to be: “Panama Papers,” “Pandora Papers,” Swiss banking scandals. WHO has “corporate headquarters” in a P.O. box? WHO hides money in anonymous secret accounts?

The happiest people live in Scandinavia, WHY? Post1981 debt explosion creates a meaner, austere, divided, unequal, troubled, America — ruled by a plutocracy perfecting divide and conquer. This ISN’T the Founders’, Lincoln’s, King’s vision — nor should it be ours.

MOUNDS VIEW SCHOOL BOARD SNIPPETS

GALLERY 96: Photography walks and plein air art FROM PAGE 1

BY NOELLE OLSON EDITOR

Plein air painting workshops and photography walks will be the focus of the Gallery 96 Art Center this summer. “‘Plein air’ means to paint outdoors on site and truly see and capture what is in front of the artist,” said Tom Reynen, Gallery 96 president. “Photography walks are meant to provide photographers of all levels opportunities to refine their photo-taking techniques and explore features of their cameras or, in particular, their phone cameras.”

Reynen said these workshops would not be possible without a grant from the Shoreview Community Foundation.

“The idea that we talked to the foundation about was to explore the Shoreview parks more, and we wanted to get more people to exhibit in the show and at the community center,” Reynen said. “It’s inspired by the beauty of Shoreview’s parks, and a different park will be featured each month. This is the second year and last year, we had almost 100% full for all three sessions.”

The first session will be at Heritage Park featuring the new home of the Shoreview Historical Society — the Lepak-Larson home.

“A lot of people don’t know about the Lepak-Larson house and the Texaco gas station,” Reynen said. “We thought that it would be interesting this year to paint or photograph the house and gas station other than just landscape scenes.”

Reynen, a photographer, and Gallery 96 artist Amy Clark will conduct the events and provide guidance.

The finished paintings and selected photographs will be displayed in the Shoreview Community Center glass cases after the workshop series.

Reynan said all skill levels are welcome, and people must be 16 years or older to participate. Registrations are open to everyone in the community, not just Gallery 96 members, but are limited to one session per individual per year. “So bring your friends and spread the word,” he said.

Class sizes are limited to 25 for each painting and photography session. All art materials will be provided. People should bring water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Painters need to bring a folding chair or stool. Reynen noted that people should wear comfortable shoes. Photographers can either shoot with their cameras or phone.

“We added photography walks this year to encourage photographers to explore the parks as well,” Reynen said. “These plein air painting and photography experiences will be a multisensory journey for the artist’s mind and body.”

To register, visit www.gallery96.org and look for membership and event registration.

Shoreview Press Editor Noelle Olson can be reached at shoreviewnews@presspubs.com or 651407-1229.

IF YOU GO Details of the Gallery 96 art workshops are as follows: • Session 1: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, June 24, Heritage Park at the Lepak-Larson house.

• Session 2: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, July 29, at Island Lake Park.

• Session 3: 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19.

• The 2023-24 projected budgets for nutrition services, community service, capital and debt service funds will be included as part of the final budget documents that will be presented to the Mounds View School Board for approval at the June 20 school board meeting. “We are in the process of reviewing some of the legislative decisions and unpacking some of those,” said Bernice Humnick, executive director of business services. “Some of these will actually be handled during the revised budget process, because when we start with nutrition services, that was a change with free meals passed. However, there’s no clarification on how the state will provide the state revenue at this time.” Details will be available on the budgets and finance page at mvpschools.org after the June 20 meeting.

• Enrollment projections for the 2022-23 school year indicate an anticipated enrollment of 11,270 students. Humnick said next fall’s class size projections do not exceed current class size averages. Staff will continue to monitor any changes throughout the summer. To review the report, visit https://bit.ly/43ID1OL. • Superintendent Chris Lennox gave a final report on the 2022-23 district operational plan (DOP). The DOP is the annual administrative work plan of the district. It is directly related to the district’s vision and the school board’s strategic directions for the year. Superintendent Lennox reported that all of the goals had been met, and commended the staff and board for their hard work.

• Treasurer Shauna Bock read the list of gifts the district received this period. There were nine gifts for school programs totaling $4,710 and 16 gifts received for the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf totaling $33,882.10.

The next Mounds View School Board meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 20, at the District Center, 4570 Victoria St. N. in Shoreview.

CAPITOL RECAP: Area legislators share successes and disappointments FROM PAGE 2

number of children living in poverty. All workers are now eligible for paid sick time. Workers can now get paid time off to heal from a serious illness or care for a loved one; new parents will can take time off to bond with newborn infants.

Education for early childhood pays big dividends in helping children succeed; significant resources were invested in both early education and in schools — amazing steps forward.

To help students learn, we addressed barriers to learning like mental health struggles and making sure they have nutritious meals (thanks to new Sen. Heather Gustafson from our NE Metro!)

Public safety is a top priority, and I’m pleased by the bold action, including first steps towards addressing the epidemic of gun violence.

Action to address climate change and protect the environment moved forward, though there is urgent work ahead.

There were thousands of additional victories — from payday lending reform, where we finally put an end to the outrageous lending practices that trap many lowincome workers in poverty, to legislation protecting voters and election workers from harassment and intimidation. Even my long-blocked catalytic converter theft bill finally passed. So many important victories — too many to name here, but they will improve the lives of all people in our communities.

Despite the successes this year, there is much work ahead. It is an honor to serve in the Senate. I renew my commitment to working for bold action on climate and affordable health care for everyone. I’ll continue working for a frugal and cost-effective government, focused on cost-saving prevention rather than expensive remedial programs.

Please keep in touch. Your ideas and concerns help me better represent you.

Rep. Elliott Engen District 36A

The 2023 Minnesota legislative session can be summed up in one word: Expensive. With a nearly $18 billion surplus, the Legislature should have spent all session delivering family-focused tax relief. It is disappointing that Rep. Elliott Engen taxes are instead set to increase by $10 billion.

I was disheartened by the unwillingness of the Majority party to work across the aisle. My bill to eliminate the sales tax on infant care items, like strollers and car seats, received unanimous support in both the House and Senate. Unfortunately, this provision was stripped from the Tax bill during Conference Committee.

Our small Main Street businesses are the lifeblood of our communities. During COVID, these job creators struggled to keep their doors open amidst shutdowns. Ever since the COVID restrictions lifted, workforce shortages, supply chain issues and inflation have continued to impact their recovery.

Instead of supporting our job creators, this session the Legislature passed a host of new mandates that will drive our Main Street businesses out of operation.

It’s time we put the needs of Minnesota families before the wish lists of state government. I am proud that despite all the new wasteful spending and burdensome mandates, I was able to deliver needed results for our community. I secured $13.5 million for clean water upgrades at the water treatment facility in Lino Lakes. My bills to crack down on fentanyl, provide mental health support for students and increase transparency in government spending also passed.

Republicans also secured $300 million in the final hours of session to save our nursing homes. Fifteen facilities in our state have closed since 2021, and many seniors are being forced to move hours away from their communities and loved ones. This critical funding will go towards saving our nursing homes and supporting the seniors they serve.

Minnesotans are more than willing to spend money to support those in need and ensure everyone has access to good roads and clean water. Unfortunately, this session is going to have severe consequences for family budgets. I will keep fighting for commonsense tax relief measures, and I hope my Democrat colleagues will join.

Rep. Mark Wiens District 41A

When I arrived in St. Paul this January, Minnesota had a nearly $18 billion surplus. I was excited to get to work crafting policies that would return that surplus to you in the form of permanent, meaningful tax relief as well as looking at ways to make government more efficient with your tax dollars. It was disappointing that when we gaveled out of session, the majority

had not only spent all the surplus, they also pushed through nearly $10 billion in tax increases in order to pay for their out-of-control spending spree.

When families are paying higher prices for gas, groceries and energy bills, they don’t want 40% more government. They want real relief for their family budgets. It is a disappointment not to deliver permanent, meaningful tax relief for all Minnesotans this session.

I am pleased to report that I secured funding for Highway 36 improvements. This will have a huge impact and make this important highway safer and more effective for our community. I was also pleased to support and author provisions supporting veterans and first responders, ensuring those that served are not forgotten.

We also passed an Environment/Energy bill that will ban PFAS products and support local water needs for Lake Elmo. Our community has been negatively impacted by PFAS for years. My bill allows the DNR to issue water use permits to Lake Elmo and not reduce water use permit limits for the city of White Bear Lake was also included. This ensures Lake Elmo has enough water and it is a huge victory for our community.

In the final days of session, Republicans secured $300 million in funding to support our nursing homes. Seniors should not be forced to leave their communities to get the care they need. Without Republican intervention, nursing homes would not have received this critical funding which will be a lifeline for many facilities in Minnesota.

It is my honor to be your voice in St. Paul this session. Even though we are now in the interim, please continue to reach out with your questions, ideas and concerns. Have a great summer!

Rep. Patti Anderson

District 33A

This session proved challenging for those of us who prioritize fiscal responsibility.

We went in hoping to return the $17.5 billion surplus to taxpayers through large rebate checks, income tax cuts and the Rep. Patti Anderson complete elimination of Social Security tax. However, the DFL’s narrowly-held trifecta not only spent the entire surplus but also raised taxes by an additional $10 billion.

Starting in July, the state budget will increase by 38%, all funded by your tax dollars.

While we did secure a partial Social Security tax exemption and $260 per-person rebate checks (subject to income limits), Minnesotans will face a wide array of new tax increases: hikes on sales tax and gas tax, a new delivery tax, a new payroll tax and significant fee increases. Most of the sales tax increase will go toward metro area transit and low-income housing.

Businesses will also see tax increases, as our corporate income tax is now the highest in the nation.

The Democrat trifecta passed an agenda that differed significantly from their campaign promises. Most Democrat legislators hail from Minneapolis, St. Paul or inner-ring suburbs, and many openly identify as “Democratic Socialists.” This fringe agenda ultimately prevailed and will affect everyone in the state after July 1. Left-wing special interest groups’ wish-lists dominated the legislative process, and I believe Minnesotans will be shocked and angry when these policies are implemented.

As a republic, our 50 states serve as testing grounds for political ideas and governance. Minnesota’s policies now lean further left than California’s, and will serve as an experiment in “democratic socialism.” The outcome remains uncertain — perhaps piling on the same ill-advised policies will somehow right the ship, or perhaps it will only accelerate the population loss Minnesota has been experiencing. I’m betting on the latter. Supporters of this transformation believe these policies will attract like-minded individuals from across the country. Time will tell if they are productive taxpayers, since we are quickly running out of other people’s money.

Elections have consequences — serious ones for Minnesotans.

from 99th Avenue to 117th Avenue, improving safety on this dangerous stretch of road. Construction is expected to begin in 2025.

As vice chair of the House Tax Committee, I helped pass the largest tax cut in Minnesota history!

Based on resident feedback, I proudly authored a “supercharged” targeted property tax refund for homeowners who see a big property tax spike. Another bill I drafted increased the limits for the Homestead Market Value Exclusion. Both bills became law. I also led the push that eliminated the tax on Social Security benefits for the vast majority of Minnesota seniors.

I know public safety is important to our community as well. I was the chief author in the House for $300 million in public safety aid we’re providing to cities and counties to help keep our neighborhoods safe. I also led the bipartisan effort to renew key powers for the Anoka County Joint Law Enforcement Council.

This group allows law enforcement agencies to coordinate and save money for county taxpayers.

In response to the needs of Centennial Schools, I introduced a bill that resulted in a 4% and 2% boost in funding for Minnesota public schools the next two years. I also included adjustments for inflation in the future so political gridlock doesn’t keep our schools from getting the funding they need.

We also have a lot of manufactured housing in our district. I secured $17 million for manufactured home park infrastructure grants and loans and another $10 million for manufactured home financing, down payment assistance and repair/renovation funds. I championed legislation creating new ways to help convert parks to resident cooperative ownership.

All told, I was able to pass 24 bills into law. Learn more about my work this session, including videos, photos and media links at https://www.facebook.com/ repmattnorris/.

Rep. Brion Curran District 36B

On May 22, my first session serving in the Minnesota House came to an end. It was an honor to serve in the Legislature this year, and I am so proud of the work we did. Alongside our governor and DFL senators, we Rep. Brion Curran ended the gridlock and delivered on our promises to Minnesotans.

Our budget delivers the largest tax cut in state history with credits, rebates and other provisions to maximize benefits for workers, families and seniors.

It also includes property tax cuts; full Social Security state income exemption for those earning less than $100,000 annually joint or $78,000 single; and a new and simplified Child & Working Family Tax Credit.

These critical solutions are made possible by the state’s historic surplus and new revenue from measures that target the wealthiest corporations and individuals in the state.

You may have heard about our bill providing school meals to all students, ensuring no one has to learn on an empty stomach earlier this year—but that was just the start of our work to improve learning and child development. Our budget supports students and staff and stabilizes funding. It increases the general education formula and links it to inflation, reduces the Special Education and English Learner crosssubsidies, and makes much-needed investments in supporting students so every child can graduate and succeed.

I was proud to serve on the Public Safety and Judiciary committees, bringing my experience as a former officer to the table. We increased funding for law enforcement, invested in supporting victims and enacted common-sense gun violence prevention measures like red-flag laws and universal background checks. I am also glad to report several provisions I authored are now law, including increased mental health treatment options for our first responders, limiting the use of no-knock warrants, and other important changes that make our communities safer and the judicial system more equal.

By using our one-time budget surplus to invest in education, public safety and more, I am proud of our work making our state better for all Minnesotans.

Rep. Matt Norris District 32B

The 2023 legislative session was a historic one, focused on improving the lives of workingand middle-class Minnesotans.

And we got our work done on time!

I’m most proud of the $102.75 million for Highway 65 I worked Rep. Matt Norris in bipartisan fashion to secure.

This major state investment will remove the stoplights

Editor’s note: We did not hear from the following candidates by press deadline: Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, Sen. Karin Housley, Sen. Heather Gustafson, Sen. Judy Seeberger, Sen. Tou Xiong, and Rep. Leon Lillie.

Stellar finish at state track for Mustang stars

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER

Taylor Isabel and Elliott McArthur closed their glittering Mounds View high school track careers by running among the leaders in multiple races at the state Class 3A state meet at St. Michael-Albertville.

Isabel, after placing second in the 3200 in school record 10:40.77 on Thursday, finished a strong third in the 1600 on Saturday in 5:02.82, not a personal best while battling a brisk wind. The future Minnesota Gopher had seven all-state runs in her track/cross country career.

McArthur, a North Carolina State recruit, ran all three of his finals on Saturday and boosted his career all-state tally to eleven.

He started with a fifth-place finish in the 1600 in 4:18.00. Just over an hour later, he ran second in the 800 in 1:55.83, just behind Lakeville North’s Andrew Casey (1:54.83). Forty-five minutes after that, he anchored the 4x400 team that placed second in 3:22.21. Lakeville North (3:20.61) finished just ahead of Ethan Zhao, Cooper Fellman, Suleman Lubego and McArthur.

Mounds View’s other state medal winners were junior Collin Elliot, third in triple jump with career best 45-11 1/2; senior Abiola Bakare, fifth in high jump with 6-4; and eighth-grader Linnea Ousdigian, seventh in the 3200 in 10:52.93.

This was the first time McArthur ran three finals in one day; previously, he ran the 3200 instead of the 800, and the 3200 is held the first day.

“It was definitely challenging,” McArthur acknowledged. “You don’t want to let up in any of the races. If one does not go as well as you want, you have to go out and attack the next one.”

He had hoped to do better than fifth in the 1600, where the wind bothered him and he didn’t feel right.

Taylor Isabel closed her Mustang career with thirdand second-place finishes in the state meet.

“But I went out in the 800,” he said, “with a plan (devised) with my coach, and executed the plan, and got second.”

When he got the baton for the anchor leg of the meet’s final event, the 4x400, he said he “actually felt better” than he did in his first event, the 1600, and ran a blazing 48.9 split, moving his team up from fourth to second place.

In cross country, McArthur had eighth, ninth and 14th place finishes (top 25 are all-state). In track, he was fifth in the 1600 twice; second and seventh in the 3200; second twice and fourth in the 4x400; and now second in his first attempt at the 800.

“The 800 seemed to go better (than the 3200) for me this year. That’s why I made the switch, and I’m glad

Mustangs reach state, lose 2 close ones

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER

After a spotty regular season, the Mounds View baseball team rolled to four straight wins in Section 5AAAA to earn the program’s 10th state tournament trip and first since 2019. At state, the Mustangs had a pair of one-run losses, to Minnetonka and Lakeville South, and finished 15-11.

“We had an up and down regular season, losing five or six one-run games, in a tough (Suburban East) conference,” reflected coach Nik Anderson after the section triumph. “When you’re just a little over .500, it takes a real team effort to dial it up for the section and leave it all out the field — which we did.”

In the section, Mounds View tripped Park Center/Columbia Heights/ Maranatha 11-1, Maple Grove 3-0, and Champlin Park 2-1 and 9-3. Champlin Park, top-seeded, finished 18-6.

Tanner Hoeman sparked the Mustangs in the finale at Osseo. The senior second baseman knocked in three of the first four runs with a double and a single, and made the pivot on three double plays. Two DP’s were started by shortstop Jonny Conlin and the other by pitcher Andrew Simon.

Asked about being at the plate in those situations, Hoeman said: “Love it. Love the section tournament. I’m always ready to go. I got my plan going in.”

Tyler Guerin got on base four times, with a double, hit-by-pitch, fielder’s choice, and a two-RBI single, scoring three runs. Simon threw five strong innings, allowing one unearned run, for the win. Andrew Getty, freshman, pitched a scoreless sixth. Guerin gave up two runs in the seventh while striking out two and leaving bases loaded.

Elliott McArthur kept pace with a Roseville runner in the 1600, the first of three finals in a grueling day.

Mounds View players celebrate at their section finals win over Champlin Park.

At the state The Mustangs took a 3-0 lead against Minnetonka but the Skippers beat them 4-3 on Tuesday, June 13, on a walk-off hit at CHS Field in St. Paul. In the last of the seventh, Maxwell Pederson ripped a long double to left-center off Simon and Colten Benedict scored from first base on a close play at the plate.

Drew Rogers belted a two-run homer and Ryan Counihan singled home a run for the Mustangs. Minnetonka countered with a two-run double by Jacob McClusky and a solo homer by Benedict.

Pitching for the Mustangs were Guerin (1 1/3 innings, one run), Getty (1 1/3 innings, one run) and Simon (3 2/3 innings, two runs). Pitching for Minnetonka were Evan Kueppers, Kieran Haaland and Maxwell Nelson.

In the consolation round, Lakeville South and Ian Segna out-dueled Rogers and the Mustangs 1-0 Wednesday at St. Anthony Village. A home run by Brandon Witter in the second inning was the lone run. Rogers allowed seven hits and four walks, striking out six. Aiden Bale threw one scoreless inning. The Mustangs had just four hits off Segna, two by Hayden Sperbeck and one each by Geurin (double) and Parker Holmboe.

that I did,” said McArthur.

Isabel, in cross country, placed 10th and 13th at state. In track, she has placed third and eighth in the 1600, second and fifth in the 3200, and eighth in the 4x800. Her last state meet was her best.

“I’m very happy with my races at state,” Isabel said, “My goals going in were to compete for the title in the 3200m and top three in the 1600m.”

In the 3200, she said, the plan was to sit on the leader and make a move with around 800 to go and see what she had left. She did take the lead but got passed with 40 meters left. About the 1600, she said, “It was a windy day, but I was proud of how I was able to compete and beat my seed by one place.”

About her career, Isabel reflected: “It’s been really fun to look back on how much I have been able to improve and grow as a runner. I never would have thought that I would be running the times I am, or would even be in a position to compete for a state title.”

In a school with a tremendous boys track and field tradition, McArthur’s personal bests are 9:16.16 in the 3200 (first all-time), 1:55.01 in the 800 (fourth), 4:14.26 in the 1600 (third), and 49.85 in the 400 (second). Isabel ranks first on the girls all-time list with 4:57.57 in the 1600 and with 10:46.77 in the 3200.

She’s fourth in the 800 with 2:18.77.

The boys 4x200 placed 10th in prelims in 1:29.86. The girls 4x800 placed 10th (9:45.67), the girls 4x400 took 11th (4:04.65) and the 4x200 placed 12th (1:45.09). Also competing were Jason Walker, 11th in pole vault (120), and Lauren Kath, 14th in the 800 (2:18.61).

Mounds View finished seventh in the boys team standings and 15th in the girls standings.

Drew Rogers, Mounds View junior catcher, slugger and pitcher, has been named Metro Player of the Year by the Star-Tribune — the same honor conferred on his brother Will Rogers two years ago.

Rogers, already committed to Georgia Tech, has hit .433 over the last two seasons in a very strong conference, the Suburban East.

This season, the 6-foot, 220-pound athlete had nine homers heading into the state tournament.

Defensively, Rogers is “known as an outstanding signal-caller and he wields a live arm,” the Star-Tribune article stated. Rogers has thrown out 11 baserunners this year. His “pop” time is excellent, meaning the seconds lapsed between the ball hitting his mitt and arriving at the base he’s throwing to, his being less than two seconds.

BRENNAN SCHACHTNER Rogers also turned in Drew Rogers watched the some excellent pitching flight of a double here in a performances in big game early this season. games. “I don’t consider Will Rogers, also a myself a pitcher,” he told catcher, has played for the Star-Tribune.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK Soren Swenson Mounds View Tennis

Eighth-grader Soren Swenson posted a 19-11 record, including a state tourney win, dueling rivals as much as four years older at the No. 1 singles slot for the Mounds View tennis team. Swenson qualified for state with a runner-up finish in Section 4AA. He won his first-round state match over Becker’s Zach Bengtson 6-0, 6-2 before losing to eventual state champion Matthew Fullerton of Edina 6-0, 6-2. Swenson led a lineup that won the Suburban East title and was runner-up in the section.

We spend so much of the year dreaming about Minnesota summers.

Going to the lake, long evenings spent outside, and finally seeing that glorious sun. But when it gets here, doesn’t it always seem to slip through our fingers? Somehow we blink and all of our lofty goals of spending every second hiking or in a kayak have passed us by and the bittersweet smell of fall hits the air.

What if there were a way to feel totally immersed in a moment in time in a way that feels transportive, that connects you to nature in a way you haven’t felt since childhood? That is the draw of painting en plein air. En plein air, French for “in the open air,” is a style of painting popularized during the impressionist period in the 19th century, where painters create landscape work from start to finish outdoors, rather than sketching a scene and finishing it in the studio as was typically done before.

This style of painting is

quick and responsive, changing as the light and clouds shift. It requires a fierce concentration and, perhaps above all, simply a love of being outdoors.

I spoke with plein air painter Joshua Cunningham as he was heading out the door to paint. He was gathering paintbrushes and contingency rain gear as we chatted about the very thing he was about to embark on.

“The most beautiful part of plein air painting is actually its accessibility for everybody,” Joshua said. “All you need is the willingness to go outside with as little as a piece of paper and a pen, or a paintbrush and a canvas and some paint, and connect through that medium to the world around us.”

I was talking with him to learn more about his thoughts on White Bear Center for the Arts’ Into Nature: Plein Air Competition happening this August. Joshua will be this year’s judge,

awarding prizes at the Community Reception and Award Ceremony on August 17th, and selecting work for the Into Nature Plein Air Exhibition.

This annual competition is open to people of all skill levels, even those who have never tried plein air painting before.

The competition days are August 1 through 10, and during that time participants will be painting outdoors in locations around White Bear Lake. The long tradition of plein air in White Bear Lake makes for a strong showing of artwork in the annual Into Nature Competition, and Joshua will be awarding $4,750 worth of prizes this year. Joshua emphasized that the process isn’t about the prize money at the end, it’s about the process of painting. In the end, “we are there to paint and spend time with something we love,” he said.

The plein air artists who go out and paint during the two weeks in August will be capturing White Bear Lake at a moment in time, through the unique lens of the artist. “As a judge the most exciting part is being the first person who gets to pore over all this artwork that didn’t exist five or six days

before,” Joshua said. “Each painting shows the artist at that point, where they are physically in space, where they stood, what they were looking at, what they were interested in. To be invited to be the judge of that is such a privilege.”

Registration is open now through July 14, and all are welcome to register and take part in the plein air experience. All entries will be exhibited in the Ford Family Gallery from August 17-23, and selected pieces will move into the Exhibition Hall for the month of September as part of the official Into Nature Plein Air Exhibition.

Take a risk, soak up these summer days, and enjoy the experience of being in nature. I certainly know I’ll give it a try as a way to be present in these fleeting warm moments. As Joshua said, “The realization that I’m painting something that I had no idea existed ten minutes before I started, or the way the lights unfolds as you stand there and watch it, it kind of seems like it’s nothing, but if you give it a moment or two of vulnerable thinking, or openheartedness, you kind of realize it’s everything.”

Ellie Fuelling, WBCA Communications Manager

New Ford Family Gallery Exhibit Celebrates Soil is propelled by the deep interest she has for matters of land, body, and spirit. She chooses materials that bring their own meaning, and looks for voices that connect, like poet-farmer Wendell Berry, who says, “Soil is the one thing we all have in common.”

“I had the good fortune to be born in farm country,” Sandra said, “able to observe closely the

processes of life: birth, growth, and death. This good fortune also cemented into my makeup the use of the hand, the ‘maker,’ applying the skills and labors needed to sustain my living self and spirit.”
