Shoreview’s new retreat center will revolve around self-discovery

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

The Nest, a new retreat center in Shoreview, will allow individuals to focus on self-discovery and becoming their best self. The Nest is a nonprofit organization run by Julie Overbye Ledy, Kari Nokken and Lisa Welter.

All three of the founders are actively running their own nonprofits, but felt called to do something together. “(The Nest) was an idea that I had had to do some kind of retreat center,” Overbye Ledy said.

The goal of the organization is for people to be able to come together, learn about themselves

and have an ongoing community. There will be a heavy emphasis on helping individuals find the best versions of themselves to live and lead well.

The physical space in Shoreview will allow people to come and learn through workshops, classes and events.

“We wanted a safe place where people could come learn more about themselves,” Overbye Ledy said.

Along with classes, there also will be a leadership academy in the winter. The academy will train people who want to become leaders in their respective community.

Amy Workman, a resident of Shoreview, went from experimenting with baking as a kid to winning the “Best Chocolate Chip Cookie” title at the Minnesota State Fair.

The chocolate chip cookie category at the Minnesota State Fair is the biggest out of the 91 baking competitions at the State Fair. This year, there were over 200 entries in the chocolate chip cookie category.

Workman’s

CONTRIBUTED champion cookie received the highest Amy Workman won the chocoscore from the late chip cookie competition at judges out of 100 the Minnesota State Fair. possible points. The scoring is based on aroma, taste, the shape of the cookie, texture and appearance.

This was Workman’s first year entering the chocolate chip cookie category of the baking competition. In previous years, she has entered in the peanut butter cookie, layered bars, brownies and corn muffins competition divisions. She submitted baked goods in six different categories this year instead of three, which she has done in previous years.

“It was crazy, and I didn’t really believe it,” Workman said when she found out that she had won. “I woke up my whole family screaming in the morning when they posted it.”

The Minnesota State Fair posts the winners of the different baking competitions online on the first day of the fair at 8 a.m. Judging takes place the weekend before the fair starts. Workman said she kept refreshing the page to see the different winners of the category and woke up her whole house in excitement when she saw that she was one of the winners.

THE NEST: Classes, a leadership academy and retreats offered at The Nest FROM PAGE 1

others in Shoreview and surrounding communities can book the space for their own nonprofit, with their life coach and space available to the community to use.

Classes at The Nest are offered in the fall, winter and spring. A wide range of classes is available for individuals to take, depending on their interests and needs.

There are numerous class topics, including classes on inner peace, how to reignite connection, and finding pathways to forgiveness. “I am leading a class on how to start a nonprofit or LLC,” Overbye Ledy said.

There also will be a class on being an empty-nester and a class that helps one write a book. Yoga classes are in the works as well. Each class ranges in size.

They can be anywhere from six people to 30. There are eight classrooms at The Nest available for use, and each is set

up differently, depending on it will be used.

Currently, classes are still being developed for youth and seniors.

The retreat center founders hope to offer half-day and full day retreats in the future. The half-day retreat will entail The Nest teachers coming to the center and teaching mini-classes to those who decide to attend the retreat.

“The Nest is kind of a retreat in itself,” Overbye Ledy said.

“It’s a safe space to come and kind of be your authentic self, show up and say, ‘I’m not perfect, and I’m looking for community and other people who are on the same journey.’”

The long-term goal is that someone attends a class, enjoys what they are learning and continues to use the resources available to them. Whether it is joining a small group, going to a few one-on-one sessions or taking multiple

classes each semester, the hope is that an individual keeps returning.

“We would love to walk alongside people for a season, or wherever they are at in their life,” Overbye Ledy said.

The Nest retreat center is located on 4570 Churchill Street in the Shoreview Professional Building. Classes will begin Sept. 26.

There are eight classrooms available for use.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF BRIEFS

A long history of threats

A Shoreview man, 76, faces up to five years imprisonment and/or a maximum fine of $10,000 for felony making threats of violence, following an Aug. 22 incident in the 1000 block of Bridge Street, where he threatened his wife with a knife.

At approximately 12:29 p.m. Aug. 22, Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a domestic on Bridge Street. On arrival at the scene, deputies met with both the defendant and his wife. When deputies asked where the knife was, the defendant said that it was in the sink, and his wife confirmed it to be the knife that her husband held in the air while making stabbing motions toward her.

Deputies collected the chef’s knife with a 6-inch blade, which will be used as evidence.

The wife told deputies that her husband wanted her to leave the house, and she refused. Her husband responded to her refusal by telling her that he would drag her out of the house by her feet. When the complainant refused to leave, the defendant got up from the kitchen table, retrieved the knife and made stabbing motions toward her.

The complainant said she retreated to the other side of the kitchen island and remained afraid the defendant would throw the knife at her.

The complainant advised deputies that her husband told the neighbors he wanted to choke his wife. Deputies went next door to talk to the neighbors, who confirmed the complainant’s informa-

tion. The neighbor said she regularly brings her neighbors dinner and did so the day before the knife incident. The neighbor said the defendant told her he wanted to choke his wife and wanted her out of the house.

Records show that law enforcement has been called out to the defendant’s residence more than 30 times for various reasons, including prior threats of violence to kill his wife, himself, their dog and to burn the house down.

Buying drugs through identity theft

A St. Paul man, 47, faces up to five years imprisonment and/or maximum $10,000 fine if convicted of felony identity theft, following the investigation of an overnight burglary that occurred at Lametti & Sons of Hugo on Aug. 18-19, during which documents, equipment and tools were stolen.

Several days later, a computer stolen during the burglary was tracked to Baldwin, Wis. On Aug. 30, the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call from a resident on Soo Street in Shoreview, who said that when she awakened at 8:00 a.m., she saw two men acting suspiciously -- taking items out of an SUV in a vacant lot next door. She said they had all of the vehicle doors open and were bringing items in and out, including tossing a few items in the brush.

Deputies dispatched out to the scene found a Toyota Highlander with more than 20 backpacks and bags scattered

on the ground around it. Two men, one of whom was the defendant, were standing outside. A third man was asleep in the driver’s seat with multiple edged weapons around him. He was removed from the vehicle and pat-searched.

A K9 officer at the scene alerted deputies to the presence of narcotics in the vehicle, which was then searched.

Inside was a large quantity of paperwork in the names of multiple people and companies not on scene, including two expired driver’s licenses in the name of FDM. A pouch recovered from the driver’s side door contained the defendant’s driver’s license, as well as two checkbooks in the name of a woman not on scene and a third blank checkbook.

Also in the vehicle was .45-caliber ammunition and a rock of suspected methamphetamine.

The Highlander needed to be towed, and the property around it recovered. In an inventory search, the bags around the vehicle were found to contain many more documents in names other than those of the three men. These included a binder of checks in the name of Lametti & Sons and a briefcase full of documents for a real estate company in Maplewood. Also in the bags was suspected stolen property and a loaded shotgun.

An investigator later contacted several of those identified in the documents recovered from the vehicle. FDM, whose driver’s licenses had been found in the Highlander, said that she was not aware they were missing. She said she cleaned out her storage unit Aug. 1 and items may have ended up in the trash.

An owner of Lametti & Sons said that the payroll checks recovered from outside the Highlander had been stolen in the Aug. 19 burglary. The owner of the Maplewood real estate company said he did not know how the briefcase came to be in the possession of the men but has two storage units that may have been broken into.

On scene, the men said that they were organizing their belongings in the lot before driving to Wisconsin. In a Mirandized interview at the scene, the defendant said the pouch recovered from the truck was his, that he did not know the owner of the two checkbooks, and that the blank checkbook belonged to him. Eventually he said that he had found all three checkbooks in garbage can. On his way to the Law Enforcement Center, the defendant said he wanted to claim responsibility for all of the “identity documents;” and that he did not want to get his friends into trouble.

The defendant described himself as a “scrapper,” always looking for money to buy drugs. He acknowledged possession of the documents from “Lametti & Sons”and also acknowledged possession of items from a realtor, which he said he had found in a dumpster, along with identity documents belonging to other people.

The defendant’s criminal record includes at least four felony convictions, for Check Forgery, Domestic Assault

by Strangulation, and Violation of Controlled Substance Laws in the Fifth Degree.

Routines return

S

chools and colleges return to the fall routine.

For some students, it’s the beginning of a school or education experience. For others, it’s moving on to middle school and high school, as well as colleges and universities. For others, it may be vocational schools, home schooling or internships.

This brings about challenges for our state leaders, our local superintendents and our teachers, because after COVID many student evaluation scores dropped.

Parents are concerned when subjects like reading, math and science have lower standards.

Attendance is a key factor which About the shows students may be in class only 90% of the time.

State education departments have Town recently released their assessments and Gene Johnson parents and school boards need to take special notice. Everything worth doing is worth evaluating. Winning in athletics is important, but winning in the classroom is even more important.

As a parent, stay in touch with your children’s teachers. Don’t overlook conferences and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Teachers are willing to take time and make suggestions on how to overcome serious deficits.

They want students to succeed. Just remember their time is valuable and they can’t always help with issues that are better addressed at home.

It’s the beginning of a new school year. Let’s make the best of it. We spend a lot of tax money for it. I believe everyone involved takes it seriously.

Eliminating senior poverty

AARP Foundation’s Chief Development Officer, David Whitehead, is encouraging financial support for a future without senior poverty.

In a recent piece of information crossing my desk, the numbers are staggering nationwide.

1. More than 38 million older adults do not have adequate financial resources.

2. 9.5 million older adults struggle to put food on the table.

3. More than 19 million people 50 and older live in unaffordable, unsafe, or inadequate housing.

Danger of cell phones

If you have a teen with a cell phone, as a parent you need to be concerned about what they are following. You need to have good rapport with your children so you can discuss issues like social media and how harmful it can be. 95% of all teens are reported to be online in areas of social media.

Also harmful is too much time on cell phones. You lose the opportunity for building relationships with other teens and oftentimes you don’t know how to look another person in the eye and have meaningful conversations.

Being a parent is not easy. It’s especially challenging these days with dangerous material online that can suck you and your kids right in.

Let them run

A friend of mine, Barbara Baade, was a very successful business lady in the Milwaukee area. She died last year.

When I was with her, I could always pick up management tips. Following are some that might be helpful to our readers who are involved in business or leadership.

1. When it comes to projects, just do it.

2. Focus daily on two items that must get done.

3. If a problem is brought to you, a manager should have three solutions to present. Give your opinion as a leader, but let them run.

Insurance rates going up

Minnesota and California are leading the nation when it comes to hail and wind damage to homes and businesses, but then there are the areas where hurricanes and tornadoes have been hitting. You can be sure insurance rates are going to continue to climb and it’s very likely to be spread across the nation. I think that’s part of the inflation spiral, too.

ten amendments to the Constitution. Added in 1792, it guarantees many personal freedoms. Check it out. Is this something you can share with your children by asking “how many constitutional amendments are there?”

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

New Housing Needed

Shoreview partners with Xcel Energy in new program

As a longtime Shoreview resident, I support the proposed development of apartments and townhomes on Gramsie Road at Hodgson. Our city’s long range plan identifies the need for more workforce housing that will meet the affordability needs of workers such as teachers, firefighters, sheriff’s department staff and city staff who want to live close to where they work.

This project also meets the changing needs of many retired Shoreview residents who want to stay in our city, but no longer have the will or capability to manage maintenance of a yard and snow shoveling.

They want to be close to familiar businesses, places of worship and their longtime friends. The Shoreview long range plan also promotes adding this type of life cycle housing which is difficult to find and demand in Shoreview.

This is a project that will benefit the entire city, and I urge the Planning Commission to approve it.

Voters to decide on sales tax to fund community center renovation

The Mounds View community will decide whether to approve a 1.5% local sales tax to support the investment plan to expand and renovate the Mounds View Community Center. This decision will be determined at the Nov. 7 general election.

If the sales tax is approved, the community center expansion plan will include an indoor walking track, expanded fitness facilities and new equipment, additional spaces for senior activities and an indoor children’s play area. Three new gyms will also be added.

The sales tax would be collected over a 20-year period from residents and nonresidents who make purchases in the city. If the tax is approved by voters, the city intends to pursue the rest of the funds through state bonding money during the next legislative season.

COOKIES: Amy Workman’s chocolate chip cookies received highest mark FROM PAGE 1

“I didn’t know that that was the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever made,” she said.

Workman got into baking from her own love of desserts. She didn’t grow up around baking. Her chocolate chip cookie recipe was created from trying dozens of recipes from the internet over the last 20 years. She found one she liked the best, tweaked it and made it her own. Each cookie recipe is different, and has the smallest tweaks. Workman said she likes a thick, softer cookie rather than a flat, crispy one.

“A lot of bakers here in Minnesota hear from their friends that they should enter, and I finally did,” Workman said. She decided to enter the baking competition at the fair because it sounded fun, and she enjoys going to the State Fair early.

Those who enter the State Fair baking competitions can drop off their baked goods a few days before the fair so the winner can be announced the first day the fair is open. The competitors get a glimpse of all the fair has to offer before the crowds.

“I don’t even mind if I don’t win, I kind of just like the experience of entering and talking to other bakers in line,” Workman said about her experience as a competitor.

As well as participating in the State Fair, Workman and her family host a big Friendsgiving each year since Workman and her husband do not have extended family in Minnesota.

They host a large dinner for their friends and each year she cooks all the food, which has allowed her to try all different kinds of baking.

“I call myself a selfish baker,” said Workman. “I bake what I like, and luckily other people like it too.”

Since she won at the fair, Workman hopes to enter other baking competitions in Minnesota. She just has to find them.

Next year, Workman plans to enter into the chocolate chip cookie with nuts and pie categories at the fair. She hopes to win a ribbon in the chocolate chip cookie with nuts category.

Madeline Dolby can be reached by emailing shoreviewnews@presspubs. com or 651-407-1226.

Workman plans to enter into more baking competitions in Minnesota since winning at the State Fair.

DNR offers ways to learn about new fall outdoor activities As summer wanes, fall outdoor activities are around the corner. Anyone who wants to experience the outdoors in a new way can boost their fishing, hunting, habitat and outdoors know-how with webinars from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

“Fall is a time to savor the outdoors and for those doing the same activities year after year, I’d offer that our webinars are a great first step toward broadening your outdoors horizons,” said Benji Kohn, volunteer mentor program coordinator.

The webinars are part of the Minnesota Outdoor Skills and Stewardship Series that started in March 2021. New webinars this fall are on topics that will

appeal to people interested in nature, including anglers and hunters. The live webinars are at noon on Wednesdays and last an hour or less. All webinars are live-captioned, recorded and made available on the Minnesota DNR website. The recordings are popular with those who can’t make the live events.

Fall webinar topics include hunting deer with a crossbow, woodcock hunting, sandhill cranes, planning a bird hunting road trip, fall turkey hunting, fall fishing tips, ciscos (freshwater fishes) in Minnesota lakes, knife care, elk in Minnesota, the No Child Left Inside Grant Program, planning a wilderness canoe trip, plant diseases like galls on goldenrod, and emerald ash borers.

MVHS drops officer partnership, adds school liaison

Due to recently passed legislation, the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department has decided to discontinue its school resource officer partnership with schools, including at Mounds View High School.

The sheriff’s department remains committed to having an officer available, but will no longer call them a school resource officer. The deputy assigned to support the high school, Abhi Sachdev, will now carry the title of school liaison. He will visit and have a presence at the school but will not be stationed there.

Shoreview’s 1st pollinator rain garden focus of family-friendly event

BY MADELINE DOLBY STAFF WRITER

Around this time last year at McCullough Park in Shoreview, 27 volunteers from the Arden HillsShoreview Rotary Club, the Shoreview Garden Club and the city’s natural resources team worked in shifts to plant over 400 plants to bring the city its first pollinator rain garden.

On Sept. 16, the city will host a rain garden dedication at McCullough Park.

The event is a collaboration between the Arden Hills- Shoreview Rotary Club, city of Shoreview, Rice Creek Watershed District and the Shoreview Foundation.

The 2,000-square-foot garden was placed in the city to help meet Rotary International’s goals of supporting the environment through its Operation Pollination initiative. This partnership project is one of Rotary’s six focus areas in an effort to support the environment, led by the Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group (ESRAG).

“We’re gonna have a lot of education about rain gardens and pollinators,” said Charlie Oltman, who is a member of the Arden Hills- Shoreview Rotary club and the Shoreview Parks and Recreation Commission. “We will be giving out pollinator seed packs, there will be a master gardener and the Shoreview Garden Club will be there,” he added.

Along with the garden club, members of the Shoreview Community Foundation will be at the event. The

foundation contributed over half of the funds needed for the project.

There will be “different activities for kids and family for fun and education” at the family-friendly event, Oltman noted.

Children can learn about honeybees and honey making and learn about butterflies. There will be butterfly tattoos for children to put on their faces and hands.

The Shoreview Parks and Recreation Department will be at the event to discuss the master plans for McCullough Park. Members of the public will be able to learn about the planned upgrades and provide feedback.

Representatives of the Rice Creek Watershed District will be there to talk with residents and partner with them to help create their own rain gardens on their own property.

In the rain pollinator garden, there are different plaques scattered throughout to tell residents what plants work best to attract pollinators to help guide them towards the right steps to take toward forming their own gardens.

“The whole idea is to educate and spark interest throughout the community,” Oltman said.

The garden dedication will take place between 10 a.m. and noon. McCullough Park is located at 955 County Road I in Shoreview.

McCullough Park is the first park in Shoreview to have a rain pollinator garden.

Merrick expands programs that empower people with disabilities Merrick Inc., a nonprofit located in Vadnais Heights, is expanding its program later this fall.

“Beginning in November, our new expanded program will be having a therapy dog,” said John Wayne Barker, executive director. “That’s unique in the state of Minnesota, and something we’re excited about bringing to the program.”

Merrick has been providing day services to adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities in Ramsey County since 1964. It offers a mix of life enrichment, work and self-advocacy options to its clients.

According to Barker, Merrick is the largest day program in Ramsey County. It has a 59-year history of leadership in person-centered planning, self-advocacy, meaningful work options, community inclusion, operational excellence and continuous innovation.

The life enrichment site opened in November 2022. Barker said clients from North St. Paul and the Labore Road site moved into the 17,000-square-foot space on Willow Lake Boulevard. The current enrollment is 100 clients. The

nonprofit’s goal is to support 40 additional clients

by April 1, 2024.

The new expansion will include specialized studios, pottery and painting, crafts, music, sewing/ science and a sensory room.

“As a nonprofit, we offer two buckets of service and one is life enrichment, which is anything but work,” Barker said. “The whole idea is these life enrichment activities will either improve, maintain or slow the decline of mental, physical and emotional health, and that’s our expanded program that will soon be serving 140 people.”

He noted the expansion will better serve Merrick’s clients.

“We have over 100 people on our wait list, and I said to management, ‘You need to figure out how to serve those people and do it soon,’” Barker said. “We came across that space and we’re fortunate enough to take over the lease from a previous tenant; we put in about $300,000 of renovations to make it as safe, functional and pleasant as our Labore Road site.”

According to Barker, Merrick’s charitable gambling is the largest in the state with 25 sites.

“It will probably exceed $70 million in sales this year, and that sounds like a lot until you under-

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF

Sheriff’s office hosts open house

Anoka County families are invited to come and see their Anoka County Sheriff’s Office and the diverse services the department

provides to the citizens of the county during an open house from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21. Outdoor demonstrations, displays and opportunities to interact with the department’s public safety partners will be available. Food and drinks

will be available for purchase from Mansetti’s, Eggroll Queen, PJs Grill and Original Hockey Mom Brownies food trucks. The sheriff’s office is located at 13301 Hanson Blvd. NW in Andover.

stand the state of Minnesota takes three cents for every one penny we earn, so it’s pretty regressive taxing on charitable gambling … which is unfortunate,” he said.

Barker noted Merrick’s mission is to empower adults with disabilities through vocational and social opportunities and to guide them toward realizing their goals and dreams.

“Except for a cognitive disability, people with disabilities are more like us than not like us,” Barker said. “The only difference is their cognitive disability impacts their skills of independent living or activities of daily living, and that’s where nonprofits and human service agencies like Merrick come into play as we fill that gap.

We help support them in those areas so that they can have a meaningful life.”

Merrick’s work services program is located at 3210 Labore Road in Vadnais Heights. The life enrichment program is located at 1239 Willow Lake Road Blvd., Suite 101 in Vadnais Heights.

Annual rummage sale is right around the corner

BY CAROL BEATTY CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The annual North Oaks rummage sale is Sept. 16 and 17. North Oaks residents are encouraged to bring rummage sale donations to the fall drop-off from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 9. at the Shoreview Ice Arena, 877 West Highway 96 in Shoreview. As always asks the North Oaks community for donations of gently used items. Your contributions ensure the success of rummage sale and all proceeds are used to help fund vital programs at Children’s Minnesota.

The guild regrets that some items cannot be sold at the sale so those will not be accepted at the drop-off.

Disposal fees for items that cannot be sold reduce the

contribution to CHA. Please consult the guild website www.northoaksrummagesale.org and the flyer in this newspaper for items welcomed and those that cannot be sold.

Furniture donations are greatly appreciated Please call Jennifer Martini, no later than Tuesday, Sept. 5, to schedule a pick up on Sept. 9. This is for pick-up of furniture only, just in North Oaks. Tax donation receipts are provided for all donations.

Get involved as a volunteer Go to the Volunteer tab on the website to access the sign up Genius link to volunteer for rummage sale and set-up activities.

Tell family, friends, and neighbors about the sale The North Oaks sale is certainly one of the largest charity rummage sales in the metro area and ex-

tremely well organized. The sale features well designated departments with merchandise beautifully displayed, sized, sorted, tested and priced. This is the epitome of re-using, recycling, and reducing discards to landfills.

Community support is important to help offset sale expenses, tax deductible cash donations are welcome at any time. Please consult the website www.northoaksrummagesale.org. for additional information.

Visit the website, like us on Facebook at North Oaks Rummage Sale, donate, volunteer and shop. All proceeds benefit programs at Children’s Minnesota which are supported by Children’s Hospital Association (CHA). “Making a Difference … One Child at a Time.”

IF YOU GO

Rummage Sale Details: When: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16 (Early Bird Special 7 to 9 a.m.).

9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 17. Most items are ½ price on Sunday so return to find even better bargains!

Where: Shoreview Ice Arena, 877 Highway 96 at the corner of Victoria St. in Shoreview.

What: Biggest rummage sale in the area! Proceeds benefit Children’s Hospital Association, and sale is sponsored by North Oaks Guild II. Due to safety issues and the large amount of merchandise, the guild asks that NO strollers be brought into the arena. Cash, checks, credit cards all welcomed.

Removal of emerald ash borer: What to expect

BY SEBASTIAN STUDIER CONTRIBUTING WRITER

As trees across our communities show signs of emerald ash borer (EAB) infestation, here’s what homeowners can expect from their city when it comes time to remove unfit trees.

In the city of White Bear Lake, dead, diseased and dying trees are regulated under Chapter 706 of the city code, which can be found at https:// www.whitebearlake.org/sites/default/files/fileattachments/administration/page/1721/chapter_706. pdf. Residents are required to remove any dead, diseased or dying tree at their cost within a specified time frame. As for infected boulevard trees, residents are responsible for those that directly abut their property and can remove these trees at their cost, or the city will take them down and split the cost 50/50 with the homeowner per the ordinance.

There is no funding for the city to remove trees located on private property. Property owners’ only option is to hire a contractor to remove them or remove them themselves.

Using either staff members or contractors, the city does remove such trees on public properties, including parks and open spaces. The city is currently working to apply for several grants available through the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that would provide a no-match grant to remove and replant ash trees infected with EAB. An inventory performed in 2018 showed over 2,000 ash trees in the city’s active parks and on public properties and boulevards that could be eligible for removal using these grant funds.

The city of Lino Lakes is in the process of removing and replacing ash trees located within the rights of way and public spaces. City Environmental Coordinator Andrew Nelson says that the city also treats trees to keep them as healthy as possible until crews can perform the removals. There is no additional cost to residents for removals and replacements on public right of way.

In Lino Lakes, removing or treating trees on private property is the responsibility of the homeowner. The city has a partnership with Rainbow Tree Care that offers residents a discount rate for injections of trees on private property.

In Circle Pines, infected trees on private property are tagged, and it’s the homeowners’ responsibility to remove them in a reasonable amount of time. City Administrator Patrick Antonen says that the city takes care of infected trees located on public property. Circle Pines is currently looking at grants to help property owners with removal of trees on private property, but has not yet been successful.

The number one way to identify EAB is to look for the S-shaped, serpentine tunnel gallery the larvae makes on the tree beneath the bark.

In Shoreview, the only options for ash trees with EAB infestations are treatment or removal. The city and residents are treating many ash trees with an insecticide trunk injection to prevent the trees from being infected or to avoid further damage to the tree.

Ash trees that aren’t being treated will need to be removed. The city is removing untreated ash trees on city property, including parks and boulevards. The city boulevard is the width of land between the street and the property line; the distance varies by street. The boulevard is part of the city right of way. Boulevard ash tree removals are taking place currently and will continue over the next several years. Residents will be notified of boulevard ash removals prior to the work.

Now is the time for residents of Shoreview to make a plan for removing ash trees on their property if they have not been treating them. It is the responsibility of the property owner to remove untreated ash trees. Many trees that have not already been treated are too heavily infested with

EAB for treatment to be effective. The DNR states that trees that have lost more than 50% of their canopy are not good candidates for treatment.

Residents should contact licensed tree companies for estimates on tree removal.

Here are some tips from the city of Shoreview for hiring a tree care company: • Check for a list of licensed tree care companies in your city • Get more than one estimate • Don’t pay for the work in advance • Ask about the company’s certifications and experience • Make sure you understand what work is included in the estimate

Mustangs shut down Farmington, White Bear for 2-0 start

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mounds View’s first two football opponents found it very difficult to move the ball against the Mustangs, resulting in a 2-0 start with road victories over Farmington 17-7 and White Bear Lake 16-6 the last two Thursdays.

Mounds View gave up just 119 yards during a scrimmage against Farmington. The Tigers’ touchdown came after a Mustang turnover at the fiveyard line. The Mustangs limited White Bear Lake to 78 yards from a scrimmage and four first downs. The Bears touchdown came against the Mustang offense on a fumble recovery return.

“Really proud of this group. We have a lot of team speed. We call on our guys to play fast, physical and free,” coach Aaron Moberg said. “A critical component of being able to do all three is preparation.

Our defensive coordinator, Vinny Calistro, does a phenomenal job of getting our guys ready.”

“The defensive unit is not particularly big, with nobody over 200 pounds in the starting 11,” Moberg noted, “but they are fierce and focused.”

Leaders are outside linebacker Evan Hatton who is “living in opponents backfields,” and inside linebacker Joey Muhlstein, who is “a beast in the middle,” Moberg said. “Up front,” he added, “we try to utilize our speed with a lot of post snap movement.”

While happy with the first two games, he said, “We still see many areas to improve upon.”

Mustangs 17, Farmington 7

The Mustangs took a 10-0 lead in the second quarter on Ben Hoiland’s 31-yard field goal and Jacob Sampson’s three-yard touchdown toss to Peter Nguyen. Farmington (0-2) pulled within 10-7 in the fourth quarter on Layne Johnson’s one-yard touchdown after a Mustangs turnover. The Mustangs got a two-yard touchdown by Jack Bongard to regain a 10-point lead.

Sampson and Joey Fretheim combined to complete 23 of 29 passes for 185 yards, with Nguyen making six caches. Tyler Nystrom, star wideout, drew lots

of defensive attention and snagged four passes for 82 yards.

“The Mustang secondary played well together and gave up just 56 air yards,” Moberg said.

Moberg told Johnson as he greeted and hugged players after the game.

After taking the 9-6 lead, the Mustangs forced a Bear punt and Tyler Nystrom returned it 30 yards to the Bear 20. Ben Hoiland booted a 23-yard field goal but the Bears were called off-sides, resulting in a first down. Two plays later, Jack Bongard plowed four yards for a clinching touchdown.

The Bears touchdown was scored by Levi Harving on a 56-yard sprint after picking up a fumble caused by a low snap to the quarterback in the shotgun formation.

The Bears (0-2) held the Mustangs to 176 net yards and had a 5-1 turnover edge, including three interceptions. However, they never came close to scoring on offense. The Bears had 12 penalties for 90 yards and the Mustangs just one for five yards.

Mustangs 17, White Bear Lake 6

The Mustangs generated two late touchdowns to break up a defensive slugfest, after trailing 6-0 until late in the third period. Joey Muhlstein got them started when he blocked a Bear punt into the end zone, making the score 6-2.

The Mustangs took the lead on a fourth-and-seven play with 7:30 left as Jake Sampson eluded a strong pass rush and lofted a pass to Logan Johnson at the goal line. Johnson leapt against Bear defender Vinny Villella, wrestled the ball away from him and fell just inside the end zone. A 19-yard run by Peter Nguyen set up the touchdown.

“You’ll remember that catch the rest of your life,”

• Ethnicity: African American men have a higher rate of the disease. Prostate cancer occurs less often in Asian American and Hispanic/Latino men than in non-Hispanic white men.

• Family History: Men who have a history of prostate cancer in their family face a higher risk of getting the disease. Having family members with breast and ovarian cancer also raises a man’s risk for prostate cancer.

• Weight: Studies link being overweight in your 50s and later to a greater risk of advanced prostate cancer. Doctors advise keeping to a healthy weight to reduce risk.

60% of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in people age 65 or older.

spread (metastasize) to nearby organs and tissues such as the bladder or rectum, or to other parts of the body.

Prostate cancer stays “localized” when cancer cells are found only in the prostate or even a little bit beyond it, but do not move to other parts of the body. If the cancer moves to other parts of the body, it is called “advanced” prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is often grouped into four stages.

• Early-stage | Stages I & II: The tumor has not spread beyond the prostate.

This is often called “early-stage” or “localized” prostate cancer.

• Locally Advanced | Stage III: Cancer has spread outside the prostate, but

only to nearby tissues. This is often called “locally advanced prostate cancer.”

• Advanced | Stage IV: Cancer has spread outside the prostate to other parts such as the lymph nodes, bladder, bones, liver or lungs. This stage is often called “advanced prostate cancer.”

What Causes Prostate Cancer?

The cause of prostate cancer is unknown, but researchers know many things can increase a man’s risk for the disease.

• Age: As men age, their risk of getting prostate cancer goes up.

What are the Signs of Prostate Cancer?

In its early stages, prostate cancer may have no symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they can be urinary symptoms like those of an enlarged prostate or Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). A prostate cancer screening assessment tool can be found on www.urologyhealth.org under Early-Stage Prostate Cancer Basics.

rostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men. In 2022, the American Cancer Society estimated there would be about 268,490 new cases and about 34,500 deaths from prostate cancer. The American Urological Association suggests men ages 55 to 69, with an average risk for prostate cancer, talk to their doctor about whether prostate cancer testing is right for them. For men with a higher risk of getting prostate cancer, which includes African-American men or men with a family history of cancer, think about talking to your doctor as early as 40-54 years of age.

The prostate and seminal vesicles are part of the male reproductive system. The prostate sits below the bladder, in front of the rectum, while the seminal vesicles are two smaller glands attached to the back of the prostate. The main job of the prostate and seminal vesicles is to make fluid for semen. Prostate cancer develops when abnormal cells form and grow in the prostate gland. Not all abnormal growths, also called tumors, are cancerous (malignant). Some tumors are not cancerous (benign), such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and are not life threatening. Cancerous growths, such as prostate cancer, can
