It is now legal in Minnesota to sell certain edibles and beverages infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the cannabis ingredient extracted from hemp.The law, which took effect July 1, limits the sale of CBD and THC products to persons 21 and older. There are also limits on the potency of these products. A product cannot contain more than 5 milligrams of THC — delta-8 or delta-9 — in a single serving, and a package cannot contain more than 50 milligrams total. The law also includes regulation on labeling and packaging to help protect against accidental ingestion and marketing to children. “Nearly every city was surprised at the outcome of the law,” Shoreview City Manager Brad Martens said. “Cities all over the state are deciding what to do.”Martens said there are three options that cities can take. They are:
The doors are permanently closed at the Fresh & Natural Foods store in Shoreview. “It’s a sad deal after 22 years of serving this community,” owner Kerry Larson said. “It’s really hard and it becomes a part of you after that amount ofLarsontime.” said the reason for the store closing is due to competition, the economy and COVID-19. “The last five years have changed the market dramatically,” he said. “Sales just kept dropping to the point where it couldn’t sustain the store.” Fresh and Natural Foods is an independent, locally owned organic and natural full-service grocer wholly committed to providing healthy food choices, quality personal care items and knowledgeable customer service. “We were really the ones who brought gluten-free and dairy-free foods to the market here in a large way because we recognized that was the cause of food allergies for a lot of people,” Larson said. When the store closed on July 29, Larson said there were a lot of tears and hugs. “A few women were crying because the store closed, which tugs at your heart,” he said. “A lot of people were very sad because we closed the store.”

Twenty-six years ago, the residents of this amazing city gave me the incredible honor of electing me Mayor of Shoreview. Through all these years, I have appreciated the support metropolitanincommunitiesthecreatetogetherassatisfactionpridegivenastimes!bewasIencouragementandreceivedandIhonoredtoreelected13Servingmayorhasmegreatandweworkedtooneofpremierethe area. I have truly loved this job and the people of Shoreview have made it extremely deliberation,rewarding.AfterconsiderableIwillnot run for reelection this year. This has not been an easy decision. However, I am very confident about our city’s future. The last two years have been challenging as the city addressed the complexities resulting from a pandemic that no one expected, not the least of which was the impact on city services and programs.
In addition, we searched and found an excellent new city manager to replace Terry Schwerm who had served as our city manager for 28 years. We also dealt with the passing of our valued colleague, Terry Quigley, a 20-year member of the City Council. I am especially proud of how we worked together, as a team, and how we were able to accomplish many significant projects despite the obstacles created by the pandemic. While I expect there will be several qualified individuals eager to serve as mayor, I believe that my fellow council member, Sue Denkinger, would be an excellent choice as mayor and I intend to support her candidacy. I have worked with Sue on the council for the past 6 years and she has impressed me with her honest, fair, intelligent, non-partisan approach to city issues. She has an excellent business background and she studies every issue in depth before making a decision. I strongly believe that she will continue to move the city in a positive direction.Finally, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to our success as a community. The job of mayor is way too big for just one person and I needed all the community volunteers, my fellow council members, and especially the professional staff who serve with pride and dedication. I am very proud of the positive work environment we have created where staff feels valued and appreciated.Ithasbeen an honor and a privilege to serve you and I will continue to be involved and helpful in the future. I intend to spend the rest of my life right here in the city I love. Sandy Martin is the Mayor Shoreview.of Movers Shakerrs& Sandy Martin It’s been an honor

LETTER GUIDELINES FOR ELECTION SEASON 2022
Across my desk IAM PLEASED to learn of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline that is now nationwide. 988 is the three-digit phone number to connect directly to the lifeline for crisis care. Too many people experience suicidal crisis or mental health related distress and need care and help. In 2020 alone, the U.S. had one death by suicide every 11 minutes. For people age 10-34 years, suicide is the leading cause of death. This new network consists of more than 200 crisis centers that can help thousands of people overcome crisis situations every day. They are supported by local and state sources as well as the Department of Health and Human Services. Make a note of this number, 988, and have it readily available if your family needs it or you need to advise someone else.WITH INTEREST RATES rising, in part due to slow inflation, I am wondering why banks aren’t increasing the interest rates on savings accounts.

I HAVE SEVERAL nephews in the automobile business in northwest Minnesota, eastern South Dakota and North Dakota. I called Todd, a GM dealer in Fertile, Minnesota, and asked how long it would take for arrival if I were to order a new car. He said eight to ten months. I asked, “Would you sell it to me at sticker price or is there an add on?” He said, “Well, Uncle Gene, since the first of the year we have had three raises to the sticker price, approximately $2,000 each time. We don’t add to the sticker price. It’s already built in.” When asked about the book price on used cars, Todd said, “If the mileage is at 50,000 to 60,000 miles, they are selling at 20 to 30% higher.

USE OF LAKES in Minnesota and Wisconsin is changing. At one time, in the 1950-60s, water skiing was the most popular sport. The next wave trending was surfboards, saucers, or a saucer with a chair or a five foot ladder. They were all challenges and sports providing enjoyment on the water.More aspects of water sports were possible as the horsepower increased. You see some water skiing on the lakes these days, but it doesn’t seem as prevalent. We see more wake surfing, where the ski boat can take on water in its stern tanks and create a large wake for the surfer. It’s not uncommon for some of the watercraft to sell for between $100,000 and $200,000. The boats required for wake surfing also tend to be larger, safer, family friendly-boats.Largerboats can create a bigger wake and the drivers should learn techniques to keep the surf side wave directed toward the center of the lake, along with keeping distance from other boaters. Time will tell if we need more regulations on the lake. Adhering to current laws and common sense should help keep all water sports enthusiasts enjoying the lake.

John Doan is such a person. Not only does John Doan have over 20 years of experience with and in government, but he has also studied it and knows how to make it work for everyday people.John Doan has served as a gubernatorial appointee to the Metropolitan Council, worked in transportation for Hennepin County, and was co-founder of Mobility 4 All, a personalized ride service for seniors and people with disabilities. John Doan also honorably served our country as a naval officer. Last spring, my neighbor John Doan was appointed by the Shoreview City Council. I applaud his appointment and know no one better to fill that seat for the next four years. Mr. Doan served on the Shoreview Planning Commission for over six years, two of them as chair, and has a graduate degree in public policy from Harvard. He now works with a local community nonprofit based in Arden Hills. Most importantly, John Doan is a person who cares about people. He is genuinely an individual who wants the best for others and for our city. His top priorities as a City Council member are:
• Making smart city investments that maintain and improve the city’s financial stability and cultivating the next generation of community That’sleaders.why I am voting for John Doan to continue as a Shoreview City Councilperson.

A Shoreview man, 56, faces up to one year in prison and/or a maximum fine of $3,000 for felony domestic assault causing bodily harm, following a July 26 domestic incident. At 8:15 p.m. July 26, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue on a report of a male and female having a physical argument in a parking lot. On arrival, deputies spoke with a witness, who stated that the female participant was the victim in the affair but had warrants out on her and didn’t want to go to jail. The witness also said that the male participant struck the female violently twice before fleeing across the street and hiding in the bushes. Deputies got into their squad and headed over to that spot when they heard the witness yell, “There he is!”

North Heights Lutheran has grown throughout the years to include the Celebrate Dance Academy and Christian Karate Academy. It also caters events to faith-based nonprofits. The church even has its own chef, Sarah Hearn. Both Anderson and Oldfield said she is a “spectacular cook.” “The key thing that has made North Heights who we are is we have people that love Jesus, love others and are full of the Holy Spirit,” Anderson said. “We have the greatest people here.” Oldfield said the continuous goal of the church for the next 25 years is to help people find three things in“Northlife. Heights equips all people to find faith in Jesus, discover their God-driven purpose and live life with eternal significance,” he said. “Everybody needs, everybody’s looking for a purpose and everybody wants to be significant.” For more information on North Heights Lutheran Church, go to https://northheights.church/.

Four senior living pastors will join in the cele bration — Morris Vaagenes, Bob Cottingham, Per Nilsen and Anderson. The anniversary celebration kicked off in July with a showing of the “Passion Play” movie. “It takes the life and ministry of Jesus to the cru cifixion and resurrection,” Anderson said. “It was a reunion of the passion play cast, extras and fans to watchAccordingtogether.”toAnderson, the “Passion Play” ran for 19 years from 1989 to 2007. There were 296 per formances, approximately 450,000 attendees, and 71 animals at each performance. Throughout the 19 years, the total revenue from the play was approximately $6.8 million. Oldfield noted that once the basic expenses for the pro duction were paid, the rest of the money went to support other ministries of the church. An Alpha 25th reunion was held on Aug. 13 as part of the anniversary celebration. “Alpha helps people discover the truth about Jesus in the Scriptures,” Anderson said, “having people walk the journey and answer any questions they have. It’s designed for people either new to faith or (who have) always been involved with the church.”
“North Heights started when some ladies decided they wanted to have Sunday School, and they had 11 children at the North Heights Elementary School,” said John Oldfield, senior director of finance and administration. “That progressed until they did a basement church just north of the school.”
From humble beginnings to ministry that changes lives
Oldfield continued, “They held the service in the basement for a number of years. They built the worship center in 1958 in Roseville above the basement church and later expanded and added a fellowship hall area.” The church later bought the school from the Roseville School District. Now, it is the North Heights Christian Academy and the North Heights Christian Preschool and Daycare. “In 1986 we built the worship center in Arden Hills and sequentially we built the educational wing out here,” Oldfield said. “The Arden Hills campus sits on 42 acres.”

Other fruits, like apples, haven’t suffered as much as fickle berries. According to the Jacobsons, the apple season has gotten a bit longer, though their prime growing season has shifted a bit. Pine Tree Orchard has looked for ways to diver sify the way they grow their strawberries. Table top growing, a popular way of growing berries in Europe, is one way strawberry farmers can beat the heat when it comes to their more sensitive crops.

“Climate change really makes my life hard,” said Edberg, who has invested in new irrigation systems that adhere to water limits. “It’s expensive, and I have to think about it more as an investment to deal with the variability of the climate.”
“We put about 25% to 35% of what we worry about on the weather and the other 50% on the labor shortage and how we’re going to get enough people to run this place,” said Jacobson. Edberg has seen few high school and college stu dents looking for summer berry picking jobs this year, but he feels hopeful that the labor shortage is just a temporary symptom of the pandemic.

Local farms aren’t just facing hotter summers. Snow can be a critical factor to the health of future berries. If there isn’t enough snow on the ground during winter, plant roots don’t receive the insula tion they need to survive cold temperatures. While this doesn’t affect crops like corn and soybeans, berry plants are more vulnerable to the cool air, which can reach down totheir roots and kill off the plants.“Mother Nature throws us a curveball every year,” said John Jacobson, Bill Jacobson’s brother and co-owner. “You get one year to figure out the solution to the problem, and then you get another problem the next year.” Farms have managed to stay ahead of the curve using new plant varieties, better hybrids and differ ent growing methods.

Warm days that overstay their welcome in Sep tember may feel like we’re getting a longer summer. However, these increasingly long, hot summers mean that Minnesota berry farmers are facing a shorter growing season. Kevin Edberg, owner of The Berry Patch in For est Lake, saw his strawberry growing season cut in half this year, shrinking from its usual four weeks to just “Parttwo.ofit is that spring came very late this year,” said Edberg. “Most of the growing seasons have been two weeks later than normal.” Edberg, who has been farming for over 40 years, has seen the consequences of warmer summers on his berry yield. While the number of ideal growing days are few er, there has also been a significant shift in when seasons arrive. This year’s prime growing season occurred two to three weeks later than normal, and that late spring that Edberg mentioned pushed back harvest times by several days for each of his crops. “The first raspberry harvest is typically the 4th or 5th of July, but this year it didn’t come until the 10th or 12th,” Edberg noted. Bill Jacobson of Pine Tree Orchard in White Bear Lake said his strawberry season lasts about 10 days total, compared to past seasons, which last several weeks. Hotter than average temperatures in June are the main culprit for the short strawberry season, he said. Hot temperatures and little moisture send a mes sage to the berries that it’s time to ripen, so many berries are maturing earlier than normal. Straw berries hit a point of “thermal dormancy” at about 85 degrees, meaning that the berries cannot contin ue to grow once temperatures reach that limit. When berries ripen too soon, a yield’s total pound age tends to be smaller since berries haven’t had the time to develop and increase in size. Not enough water also means smaller berries since the majori ty of a berry is water, according to Edberg. “What we’ve seen persistently in the last five to 10 years is climate change, and it is man included,” said Edberg. “Those are the reasons we have water availability issues, and putting more carbon in the environment is causing this heat.”
“The University of Minnesota has been a leader in creating hybrids. We’re a test orchard for the university, and they’re creating some nice variet ies that don’t need as many acres and can produce more fruit more efficiently,” said John Jacobson.

The upside for Brett Bateman being a Minnesota Gopher is that he quickly became one of their best ballplayers. The downside is that he joined them just when the program suddenly hit a low ebb.“Our record has not exactly been what we hoped for,” acknowledged the 2020 Mounds View graduate, “what with Covid, and not executing on the mound, and at the plate, like we should. But overall, it’s been a great experience.”TheGopher center fielder and leadoff hitter posted a .312 average as a sophomore, second-high on the team. A 5-foot-10, 170-pound left-hander, he led the Gophers with 67 hits and 39 runs (tied), stole 21 bases, made 123 putouts and four assists against just four errors, and was the only player to start all 52 helm.Anderson’slegendarytwohitBatemanawentbestlongHowever,games.theGophers,oneoftheUofM’ssportsprograms,16-36,ontheheelsof6-31ledgerin2021,whenwasabackupand.250in26games.ThoseweretheonlylosingseasonsincoachJohn38yearsattheAndersonhasa604400 record in the Big Ten (.601) and 1347-963 overall (.584), with 11 regular season conference titles and 19 NCAA appearances, most recently 2018. Bateman, currently hitting .330 with the Willmar Stingers in the collegiate summer Northwoods League, is hopeful things will get back to normal with the Gophers, or close to it, in 2022-23.“Ithink we can be a dark horse next year,” he said. “We have a lot of young talent that will get opportunities on the field and some juniors and seniors who hopefully will step up in big spots.” Two of the Gophers’ top three starting pitchers got drafted and another transferred — “our Friday, Saturday and Sunday guys,” Bateman said — but he is excited that the staff will add a solid chucker transferring from New Mexico, and will regain a flame-thrower who missed 2022 with a TommyJohn injury. “And we have some great young arms coming in,” he said. The players revere John Anderson, whom they call “14,” his number. “He’s one of the great minds in college coaching,” Bateman“Fourteensaid.is a guy who heavily cares about you, about your character off the field, and your academics. He really gets to know you. He’s more like a mentor than a coach. A fatherAskedfigure.”about highlights so far, Bateman cited two team experiences. The Gophers had a walk-off win over Purdue his freshman year on Senior Day. “That was so great for the seniors,” he said. A winter get-away trip to Florida, one of the rites of D-I college ball, this February, for eight non-conference games, was uplifting. “We didn’t get to do that last year because of Covid. We really bonded as a team down there,” he said. A perusal of the team’s box scores for 2022 shows some highlights on the field. Bateman had a pair of three-hit games in Florida, in a 3-1 win over Northeastern and a 14-8 loss to Indiana State. Back home soon after, he was 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs in an 8-1 win over Kansas at U.S. Bank Stadium. He notched two hits, two walks, two steals and four runs in an 11-4 win over Western Illinois. In the the Big Ten, Bateman sparkled in a pair of three-game series, going 6-for-13 against Penn State and 6-for-15 with three RBI’s against Northwestern, with the Gophers 1-2 in each. The Gophers were once an NCAA baseball power, racking up upcanhockeyclosely.Worldwhoweather,itcanmuchMississippi12producedhave,CoastSoutheasterngame,southwardTheundercoming1956,straightchampionshipsnationalinthreeelectionyears,1960,and1964,andcloseagainin1968,coachDickSiebert.Thatwaslongago.powerhasshiftedinthemodernparticularlytheandAtlanticconferences,whobetweenthem,nineofthelastchampions,includingthisyear.“Theyobviouslyhavelongerseasons.Theystartmuchearlier,andshows.Theyhavegreat”saidBateman,followedtheCollegeSeriesonESPN“It’sjustlikewithupnorth.Guysplayhockeyalotmorenorthandallthegreat teams are from up here.” Bateman, who committed to the Gophers following a good showing at their development camp after his junior year, calls it a dream come true to play for them. “It’s in my Minnesota blood,” said Bateman, who’s majoring in journalism. “I went to regionals the Gophers hosted (in 2018 when they played UCLA and Canisius. The atmosphere wasRightelectric.”afterthe Gopher season ended, he packed his bags for Willmar, where the players are hosted by local families. They play 62 games in 66 days in the Northwoods League, which has 23 teams in four divisions. “It’s intense, like a major league schedule,” he said. Summer ball in Willmar is going well for Bateman, who’s batting .330 with 42 runs and 28 stolen bases in 54 games. The Stingers are 48-10 overall, won their five-team division (there are 21 teams) and are currently in league playoffs. Bruce Strand is a sports writer for Press Publica tions.

Minnesota public health officials reported a record number of overdose deaths in 2021, following an alarming pattern seen in many other states in recent years. According to a new re port issued by the Minnesota Depart ment of Health (MDH), most overdose deaths in 2021 were associated with fentanyl, a powerful drug that contin ues to become more common across theThecountry.1,286overdose deaths report ed to MDH last year represented a 22% increase from the 2020 total. On average, more than three people die every day from an overdose of any drug type. For the first time since 2014, there was a larger percentage increase in overdose deaths in Great er Minnesota (23%) than in the sev en-county metropolitan area (20%). “This increase in drug overdose deaths is alarming, but there are things we can do about it,” said Min nesota Commissioner of Health Jan Malcolm. “One important step is to expand programs that make it easi er for people to access naloxone — a medication that can reverse overdos es and save Preliminarylives.”data from 2021 showed a 35% increase in the total number of overdose deaths involving opi oids since 2020 (an increase from 685 deaths in 2020 to 924 deaths in 2021). Drug overdoses from nonopi oids also increased from 2020 to 2021, including a 34% increase in overdose deaths involving methamphetamine (338 in 2020 to 454 in 2021) and 81% increase from overdose deaths involv ing cocaine (85 in 2020 to 154 in 2021). Many of the opioid overdose deaths involved synthetic opioids, including fentanyl. These deaths increased from 560 in 2020 to 834 in 2021. Through analysis of death certificates, MDH found that fentanyl was involved in 90% of all deaths involving opi oids. Fentanyl is a highly potent synthetic opioid. A dose as small as three grains of rice can be lethal. Fentanyl is becoming more common in illicit drugs, and is even laced in other drugs like cocaine or metham phetamine.Therisein fentanyl circulating in communities could be a contributing factor in the increase in overdose deaths. Resources like fentanyl test strips can help prevent overdose and are available through community partners and local public health agencies. The naloxone finder website on the Know the Dangers
We’ve had a taste of mid-September temperatures over this past weekend and I, for one, don’t want to think that summer is coming to an end. Time waits for no one and changing weather patterns are no different. I wouldn’t worry too much about our recent cooling trend as there is still plenty of very mild weather ahead of us, and it will be a good six weeks before we see trees turning color.
