Eagles landing Chainsaw artist Perry Carlson applies stain to one of the bald eagle carvings he created in downtown White Bear Lake last week. The Shoreview native has been using chainsaws to transform storm-damaged trees into unique sculptures since 1987. The sculptures were commissioned as a tribute to Owen Loftus, who was working toward achieving the rank of Eagle Scout when he died in October of 2018 at the age of 15 due to complications from treatment for Leukemia.

There are similar reports of a resurgence of lung injury cases in California. “With this resurgence of cases, we are advising patients with a history of vaping who are experiencing lung-injury symptoms to seek clinical care,” said MDH State Epidemiologist and Medical Director Dr. Ruth Lynfield. “In addition, because this can present like COVID-19, providers also need to conduct a test to rule this out.” Clinical presentation for EVALI includes shortness of breath, cough, fever, malaise and gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or diarrhea). Other symptoms reported by some patients included headache, dizziness and chest pain.

“This public health threat got a lot of attention last year, and unfortunately it has not gone away,” Minnesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm said. “We want providers and the public to be aware of the continued dangers of vaping products, and the possibility of lung injuries presenting as COVID-19. As we continue to investigate the causes of the lung injuries, we encourage people to take advantage of our free Quit Partner resources to help with quitting vaping.” The patients sought care for symptoms similar to severe COVID-19 infection, including cough and shortness of breath. However, testing found the patients were not infected. Patients also responded to systemic steroid therapy, the treatment for e-cigarette or vaping product useassociated lung injury (EVALI).

Additionally, the governor is requiring school districts to allow teachers and school employees to work remotely to the extent possible.

Seniors enjoy one last baseball fling BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The Mounds View/Irondale baseball team that participated in the Senior Salute at CHS Field lost two of three games while suited up together one last time, compliments of the St. Paul Saints. The “Norsemen� lost to Eagan 10-9 Wednesday night (July 22) at CHS Field, beat Burnsville/ Eastview 8-6 Thursday (July 23) at Northwestern-St. Paul with Ike Mezzenga belting two home runs and lost to New Prague 2-1 Monday, July 27, at CHS Field. Those were pool play games, and the Norsemen did not advance to the tournament stage. With 12 Mounds View players and four Irondale players, all 2020 graduates, they wore the Shoreview jerseys they had when all of them were VFW teammates. The Saints hosted this special event to give 2020 graduates one last chance to play together after the
high school and American Legion seasons were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. About 30 teams entered. “We are very appreciative of the St. Paul Saints to provide this opportunity,� said Mark Downey, Mounds View coach, who coached the Norsemen. The team has been playing since June 24 in a league called East Side Baseball, formed by area high school coaches and headed by Woodbury’s Kevin McDermott. Mounds View and Irondale had separate teams. Mounds View’s 2020 varsity was 8-3-1, 2021 varsity was 6-3-3 and the 2022 JV was 8-6-1. In the Senior Salute, Mounds View players were Mezzenga, Ben Kettelhut, Brett Bateman, Carter Dooner, Dylan Loucks, Jack Hentges, Mateo Cisneros, Matthew Nelson, Robert Hogan, Robert Trapnell, Sean Goldman and Trevor Rankin. The Irondale players were Jacob Moe, Nate Foley, Nathaniel Cloutier and Nick Haugen.

Summer vacation
‘T
is the season for vacation... or is it? Summer is typically one of the most popular seasons people choose to use up their vacation days. Kids are out of school, and people want to take advantage of the gorgeous weather in Minnesota and neighboring states. Of course with the COVID-19 pandemic, many plans have been altered or canceled and people are choosing to not go on vacation. That was not an option for my family and me. It has been a tradition in my family to go to Wisconsin Dells every year, usually around the end of July (my birthday) or the beginning of August. I always look Out & forward to floating on the About lazy river, riding some waterslides, attending Shannon the Tommy Bartlett Granholm Show and eating pizza at Moose Jaw. This year when it came time to make our annual reservation, it kept getting pushed back because the resort we stay at was shut down for a while. After things started to open back up a bit (with many restrictions in place) and more staff started to go back to work, we were fi nally able to make a reservation. We were hopeful that by the time our vacation rolled around, coronavirus cases would be down and we would be “back to normal.” As the date kept getting closer and closer, it became clear that we were in no way out of the woods yet. Even though there is research that suggests the coronavirus doesn’t like certain environments, that you are relatively safe outdoors and that chemicals like chlorine can actually kill the virus, my family and I did not feel comfortable with the idea of floating around in a pool or waiting in lines for waterslides with hundreds of other people not wearing masks. We were running out of time and quickly decided to try to arrange a Plan B. My husband and I really enjoyed our trip for our five-year anniversary with the fur babies to Gunflint Lake near the Canadian border last month, so we decided to try to fi nd something similar. We began to look all over Minnesota and Wisconsin for a resort or cabin. It was a challenge to fi nd something on such a short notice that was big enough for all of us and dog friendly. Many of the places we looked into were already booked or were not pet-friendly. Thankfully, we ended up finding a beautiful lake home available for rent in August near Rice Lake, Wisconsin. Even though our vacation will look very different this year, I am so happy that we will still be able to get away for a little while. I am thrilled that I get to bring my dogs Frosty and Twinkie along for some fun too, which would not have been possible with our original vacation plans. Now, we will pray that the weather cooperates. Summer never lasts long enough in Minnesota, so be sure to get outdoors and make the best of it. Just because pretty much everything has been canceled at this point, including our city festivals, doesn’t mean we can’t still have some fun. Stay safe and healthy. Shannon Granholm is the Lead Editor at Press Publications.
Why eating local matters
L
ocal food is long past a fad. The pandemic has shone a light onto the tenuous standing of our country’s centralized food systems. Choosing more local food is one of the answers. community supported agriculture (CSA’s) and farmers markets have seen a huge surge this season. This response shows we’re more aware of the integral part that eating local food plays in our environmental, economic, personal and community well-being. The main impetus of eating local is to shrink the radius of where your food comes from. If each of us looked at ways to shrink Modern that imaginary circle a few miles Victory with each shopping Gardens trip, we’d make Michelle Bruhn quite a difference over time. With the combination of growing your own and knowing your farmer we can take back so many miles. The average food item purchased at a regular grocer travels between 1,500-4,000 food miles before you buy it. Think about those miles when assessing your carbon footprint. Studies have also shown that each $100 spent at
Being part of the solution “Local Food is Essential” is a new campaign started here in Minnesota and Wisconsin in response to the stress COVID 19 put on our local farmers and shoppers. The pandemic has made it clear how important small-scale farming, with local ties and direct sales, are to us all. Knowing your farmer went from a nice idea to a way to ensure you had good fresh food- period. This grass roots organization promotes taking the “Local Food Pledge” and switching out one item each shopping trip for a local item. Look for the “Local Food is Essential” logos at farmers markets or log onto their
website localfoodisessential.org for more information. Shop local I love being able to bring local food to my neighbors through pop up farmers markets during the year. The next Summer Farmers Market at the Vineyard is coming up Aug. 11, 2:30-6:30 at 7 Vines Vineyard in Dellwood. These markets are held in the afternoon to give locals a chance to shop at a different time that the long standing White Bear Lake Friday morning market. Being able to shop on the grounds of the vineyard and stay for a glass of locally grown and bottled wine is a bonus not lost on past visitors! Minnesota Grown is another great statewide resource to help you find the local food you’re looking for, search mngrown.org. There are also lots of local food news about knowing your farmer and growing your own on my blog, forksinthedirt.com. One way or another we are leaving this world to the next generation. You get to help chose what that world looks like three times a day. What do your meals say to that next generation? Michelle Bruhn is the founder of Forks in the Dirt, a local food information and action clearinghouse.

local independent stores generated $45 of secondary local spending, compared to $14 for a big-box chain store. Food also loses up to 30% of its nutritional value a few days after harvest, exactly when so much of the food in grocery stores is crossing the country in a semitruck. But let’s focus on the positivehow much better local food tastes. We all know what a different experience eating a vine ripened tomato is from the pink styrofoam that passes as a tomato in January grocery stores, which is why farmers markets and home gardens continue to grow in popularity.

Deer feeding ban changes in effect Anyone who feeds deer or other animals needs to know there are restrictions in place in certain areas of the state that require food to be kept out of reach of deer. Restrictions started July 1 in Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Rice, Scott and Washington counties. These counties were added to deer feeding and attractant bans that were already in effect in other counties affected by chronic wasting disease. Keeping food that attracts deer out of reach can help prevent close contact between deer that can transmit chronic wasting disease. Deer feeding includes placement or distribution of grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, hay and other food that is capable of attracting or enticing deer. Deer attractants are natural or manufactured products that are capable of attracting or enticing deer, including salt, minerals, liquid food scents, or any product that contains or claims to contain cervid urine (example “doe in heat”), blood, gland oil, feces or other bodily fluid. For more information visit dnr.state.mn.us and search “deer feeding.”

Most Minnesota voters might assume that the state Legislature couldn’t accomplish anything in the 2020 session since the DFL controls the House and the Republicans have the Senate. It’s true, some important bills did not get through due to basic disagreements over the role of government. But you wouldn’t know it, to look at what our state Rep. Kelly Moller got done! First-term legislators aren’t usually known for getting a lot of legislation passed, especially in a divided government. But a glance at the list of her bills shows not only that she got meaningful bills passed, but just about all of them were with bipartisan support with Republican co-sponsorship. Some of these bills ended up being absorbed into larger omnibus bills for efficiency. They clearly show that Kelly Moller cares about people and about keeping our most vulnerable citizens safe. Her bills that were signed into law include requiring mental illness training for all teachers upon license renewal (HF4257); modernizing our statutes governing guardianship and conservatorship so that people who are disabled can be more independent and free of exploitation and abuse (HF3868, HF3391, SF3357); and requiring care providers who work with the elderly and those with disabilities to receive training on reducing sexual violence (HF3366). This is what government is for—protecting our most vulnerable residents. Kelly fights for them, as she does for all of us, and I hope that you will support her re-election in November.

Anyone who finds several or more dead fish in a lake or stream can help by reporting these fish die-offs to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Groupings of dead fish can be spotted throughout the summer and usually result from natural causes, often a common bacterial infection known as columnaris. Human causes of fish kills can include water discharged at high temperatures, toxic chemicals discharged or spilled, pesticides and fertilizers, manure runoff and low oxygen levels in a lake resulting from stormwater that runs off urban or rural landscapes. People should call the state duty officer at 651-649-5451 or 800-422-0798 to report fish die-offs. An early report also allows timely water samples to be taken or other response actions to take place if needed. If there is an immediate threat to life or property, call 911 fi rst. For general information requests, people can also contact area DNR fisheries offices, but this is not the best way to report fish kills.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
Shoreview • A three-wheeled bicycle was reported recovered July 12 in a yard in the 3400 block of Dale Street N. The bike cleared the National Crime Information Center database and was entered into evidence. • A Fridley woman reported her purse containing credit cards was stolen from her vehicle July 12 while it was parked at Snail Lake Park in the 4100 block of Snail Lake Blvd. When the complainant returned from her walk, she found the front passenger window of her vehicle broken in.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Beware of mystery seeds The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has been receiving reports of residents receiving unsolicited packages of seeds appearing to come from China. Anyone receiving a package of seeds they did not order should not plant the seeds. Instead, they should contact the MDA. “We’re uncertain what these seeds may be and why people are receiving these unsolicited packages,” said Denise Thiede, MDA’s Seed Unit supervisor. “Until we know more, we encourage people to contact us because of the risk they may pose to Minnesota agriculture and our natural landscapes.” Minnesotans should do the following if they have received unsolicited packages of seeds: • Do not throw away the package or its contents. • Do not plant the seeds. • Contact Arrest the Pest line at 1-888-545-6684 or arrest.the.pest@ state.mn.us and provide your name, contact information and the date the package was received. Officials will coordinate shipping the packaging and contents to the MDA Seed Program.
large refund was provided to the complainant in error. The victim then mailed a large check to the scammer to correct that error. Fortunately, the complainant’s bank account was closed before the check could clear. • An Oak Grove man, 20, was cited July 16 in the 4300 block of Victoria Street N. for driving after suspension and hands-free violation after being pulled over for using a cell phone while driving. • A resident in the 900 block of Dawn Avenue on July 17 reported his laptop computer missing after a Realtor had conducted a showing of his home.

The complainant canceled her credit cards. • A Coon Rapids man, 30, and an Anoka man, 31, reported criminal damage to their vehicles July 21 while they were parked in the Rice Creek south lot in the 1900 block of County Road I, as the men were rollerblading in the park.

Park the phone: Extra hands-free enforcement through Aug. 8 Minnesotans should be getting into the habit of parking the phone after one year of the hands-free cell phone law. Unfortunately, drivers may be slipping back into old habits, risking the lives of innocent motorists. Law enforcement agencies and traffic safety partners across Minnesota will participate in extra hands-free and distracted driving enforcement and awareness through Aug. 8. The goal is to remind motorists about the law and educate Minnesotans about the importance of driving smart. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Office of Traffic Safety coordinates the campaign and distributes funds provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). “Slipping back into old habits is easy,” said Mike Hanson, Office of Traffic Safety director. “Some old habits might make you gain weight or go into debt, but slipping back into manipulating your phone while driving could cost you your life. Recommit to driving distraction-free and go hands free with your cell phone. Together we can save lives.” The Minnesota hands-free law went into effect on Aug. 1, 2019. State Patrol troopers and law enforcement officers throughout Minnesota have seen an increasing number of drivers using hands-free options such as mounts and holders. Some drivers cited for breaking the law say they are having a hard time breaking the habit. Other drivers stopped have phone holders in the vehicle but aren’t using them, or they think law enforcement isn’t conducting traffic stops during the pandemic. During the first 11 months of the handsfree law, 19,160 drivers were cited for failing to comply with the law.
Hands-free dos and don'ts • Don’t hold your phone while driving. • You can place your phone anywhere in the vehicle as long as you are not holding it with your hand. If mounted on the windshield, it must be in the lower part of the windshield, not obstructing your view. • The new law allows a driver to use their cell phone to make calls, text, listen to music or podcasts and get directions, but only by voice commands or single-touch activation without holding the phone. • Drivers may not use their phone at any time for video calling, video livestreaming, Snapchat, gaming, looking at video or photos stored on the phone, using non-navigation apps, reading texts and scrolling or typing on the phone. • GPS devices and other systems that can only be used for navigation are exempt from the hands-free law. In-car screens and systems are also exempt. In both cases, most of these systems lock when the vehicle is moving. • Hand-held phone use is allowed to obtain emergency assistance, if there is an immediate threat to life and safety, or when in an authorized emergency vehicle while performing official duties.
• More than $300 that includes the fi ne plus court costs for a subsequent offense. • Potential for increased insurance rates. • If you injure or kill someone under the hands-free law, you can face a felony charge of criminal vehicular operation or homicide.
Drive smart, drive distraction-free Drive smart means parking the phone, setting the GPS and music before driving, keeping your eyes on the road during a conversation in the vehicle, not reaching down for an object on the floor, not eating messy food that could spill and take your attention off the road, and the list goes on. Drive smart simply means putting all the distractions away and focusing on the road. Too many drivers fail to drive smart and it takes on even greater importance as Minnesotans need healthcare and emergency resources focused on COVID-19. Distracted driving-related crashes claim an average of 41 lives each year. This causes a lifetime of grief and pain for the families left behind and an untold story of what could have been.
Distracted driving is dangerous driving
• More answers to frequently asked questions are available at HandsFreeMN.org
• More than 50,000 crashes were distracted driving-related from 20152019 contributing to one in seven crashes in Minnesota.
Hands-free consequences
• Distracted driving contributed to 3,279 injuries and 32 deaths in 2019.
Penalties for this violation can include: • More than $120 that includes the fi ne plus court costs for a fi rst offense.
• Distracted driving contributes to an average of 40 deaths and 195 life-changing injuries a year (2015 – 2019).

A brief history of Slice of Shoreview The Slice of Shoreview is an annual festival held to celebrate life in Shoreview, Minnesota. The “Slice”, as it has come to be known, takes place over the last weekend of July and incorporates a wide variety of family-oriented activities including a carnival, parade, art and craft fair, food vendors, various displays and demonstrations, talent show, lots of entertainment and, of course, fireworks. Since the late 1990s, it has taken place at Island Lake County Park at the intersection of Interstate 694 and Victoria Street in Shoreview. The Slice of Shoreview, named to suggest the “Taste of Minnesota”, began in 1989 as a one-day festival held in conjunction with the Turtle Man Triathlon at Turtle Lake County Park in Shoreview. It was intended to reflect a “slice” of the community. As luck would have it, that first Slice took place in a torrential downpour. The next year, the event was moved to commemorate the new City Hall and Community Center and was primarily a city-run, one-day event featuring food and games. Local civic groups started appearing at the event in 1991 when the Shoreview Historical Society organized a historical bus tour with Dick Wedell and Sandy Martin acting as tour guides. By 1993, three community events combined to create the Slice we know today. The Lake Johanna Fire Department, celebrating its 50th anniversary, planned to use the newlyrenovated Island Lake County Park in Shoreview. Ramsey County was planning to have a Park reopening ceremony and the Slice planning committee was anticipating their August event. Mark Wocken, of the Fire Department, organized a meeting with the interested parties and the Slice moved to the Park with parking provided across the street at Deluxe Corporation. The Fire Department sponsored the fireworks, the Rockin’ Hollywoods and a public safety Open House. They remain actively involved in the event. At that time, the Slice also expanded to a threeday event, adding a carnival, church service,

talent show, art fair, car show and parade. When the event moved to Island Lake County Park, the city of Shoreview officially withdrew from the organizational committee but became the largest financial sponsor. Since the mission of the Slice Committee was to have an event featuring free admission and free parking, community fundraising has become essential. Today, the Slice of Shoreview has been rebranded to Slice of Shoreview Days and is organized by an all-volunteer committee which oversees all aspects of the event. They are committed to presenting a “Slice” of
Shoreview with local groups and businesses represented. Separate committees made up of a few more volunteers raise funds, hire entertainment, organize all the events and present each year’s Slice of Shoreview Days. The Slice Committee also meets immediately after each event for an evaluative meeting. In January, the group gets together to start the planning in earnest for the July extravaganza. Please be sure to look through the rest of this website to learn more about next year’s Slice. We hope you, your family and friends will join us at the next Slice of Shoreview Days.

Root beer float fi xings will be available at the beach when the group is done. The campaign is adhering to the Governor’s Stay Safe MN order, and social distancing will be required. Face masks and RSVP are mandatory. To RSVP please email: vols4kelly@ gmail.com. Bring your own canoe or kayak, if you have access to one. Limited one-person kayak rentals ($20 for one hour) will be available but must be arranged in advance through the RSVP process. Ideas like this event don’t come out of thin air. Anna Grace Hottinger, a high school student and frequent visitor to the Capitol advocating for climate change solutions, dreamed that Rep. Kelly Moller and Rep. Kelly Morrison, two leaders in the House regarding climate change, have such an event and suggested the idea to Rep. Moller. “The traditional campaign tools have to be put on hold due to COVID-19,” Moller said. “I’d rather be out knocking on doors throughout our neighborhoods to hear directly from individuals, but that’s not possible this year.” Snail Lake Park is located at 4191 Snail Lake Blvd, Shoreview, MN 55126. RSVPs are required at vols4kelly@gmail.com.

Crossroads Chapel at the Minnesota State Fair has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise $30,000 to expand its 365 Day Beacon of Light for the Gospel. “With so much uncertainty in our world today, and with so many people suffering from fear, anger and racial tension, we need to think differently about life and about each other … regardless of race, political party or religious persuasion,” said spokesperson Terry Schuveiller in a press release. “Nothing is more important to us than to help people know God by sharing the Story of Jesus … We're asking people, like you, to help us reach every soul that comes through the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.” You can donate at Charity.GoFundMe.com/Crossroads-Chapel.

Historic bridge lifts spirits with reopening BY KATIE LEIBEL CONTRIBUTING WRITER
After a three-year renovation, the Stillwater Lift Bridge is once again open and operating. It reopened with little fanfare, as celebrations were canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, but community leaders hope its completed construction will have a positive impact on the St. Croix Valley and surrounding area for years to come. The bridge underwent a complete renovation to bring it back to its original look while converting it into a pedestrian/bike trail but can still be used for emergency vehicles as necessary. This trail adds to the series of bike trails in and around the Stillwater area. “It was a long time coming. They had been working on it for several years,� said Robin Anthony, the executive director of the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce. The bridge was originally built in 1931. It replaced a series of wooden bridges and ferries that people had used to get across the river at the time and addressed a great need to connect Wisconsin to Minnesota at the time. “It was always made out of wood, and it is my understanding that they would often catch on fire,� said Ted Kozlowski, the mayor of Stillwater. The steel bridge was a major innovation for its time—it was essentially a permanent solution to burnt out or broken bridges and navigating ferries. The bridge was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1989. Its age may have been a contributing factor in the long-awaited reopening. “It’s a historic bridge, and they actually had to manufacture a (replacement) part because they don’t make those parts anymore,� Anthony said. Some floods in the area also contributed to the wait for the reopening. But the wait is now over. “They essentially restored the entire thing. It’s a 1931 bridge, and they went through and repaired and replaced every nut and bolt on that bridge,� Kozlowski said. “They’ve renovated it back to its original color, too, which is green,� said Christie Rosckes, marketing director of Discover Stillwater. “Especially in the winter, I think the green really pops in the snowy background.� The bridge’s reopening was initially going to be accompanied by a large celebration but because of the pandemic was postponed until the bridge’s first anniversary of reopening. Despite the celebration’s cancellation, the bridge reopening has still drawn many to the downtown area to walk across the scenic bridge for the first time.

The historic Stillwater Lift Bridge is staffed from 8 a.m. to 12 midnight daily in the summer. The bridge lifts every half hour if boat traffic is present.
“There are a lot of locals coming down to walk the loop, and we’ve also had just hundreds of people down here on the weekends walking and riding on the lift bridge,� Anthony said. “Everybody in town, of course, knew about it. There were a lot of people wanting to be the first people across when it opened. It’s definitely been the talk of the town,� Kozlowski said. The reopening has also been good for business thus far, drawing in not only locals, but also people from out of town and leading them to rent bikes, go on Segway tours and visit ice cream shops, boutiques and restaurants during their visit. Visitors, who are drawn to the path for walking, biking and simply taking in the view, often stay for the local entertainment. “I think people have just flooded to it, and they love it. We’ve heard nothing but positive things,� Rosckes said. With proper social distancing, visiting the reopened bridge is a
COVID-friendly activity for those bored at home. “It’s outdoors. It’s something people can do even when we’re in a complete lockdown,� Rosckes said. “It’s a huge attraction. We’ve been waiting for this for a long time. We have this almost perfect 5-mile loop that’s absolutely perfect for people to bike on and walk on,� Kozlowski said.
The bridge is now back to its original form, right down to the color, but is completely new and ready for walkers, bikers and visitors. “If you haven’t done it, I strongly encourage folks to get out and do it. It takes about an hour and a half,� Anthony said. The Stillwater Lift Bridge is owned by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
Waiting Child
Zachary (Zach), 14 is an amazing kid with the heart of a little boy. The busier Zach is the better and he loves to be a helper! Shoveling the driveway, building snow forts, swimming in the pool, riding his bike, shooting hoops, going for walks, and even going grocery shopping! He enjoys imaginary play and loves playing with all of his Paw Patrol ďŹ gures and singing along to the show’s songs. Zach loves the Minnesota Vikings and enjoys watching and talking about football. Zach is looking for a family to help him maintain contact with his two sisters and grandparents. The family would need to have the ability and desire to access supports and resources to help Zach grow and thrive and have an understanding and commitment to being Zach’s lifelong parents. He ourishes when there is predictability and consistency with his daily schedule. Zach would beneďŹ t from being the only child, allowing him the time and attention that will help him ourish!
