Shoreview mom on a mission to ‘chalk the world’

Constitution Week coming up

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

If you’ve been walking Shoreview park trails, you might have come across messages of encouragement written in chalk.

Chances are those messages were written

by Shoreview resident and activist Rebecca Trotter. This mother of three is on a global mission to spread hope and encouragement using chalk art.

Trotter said she got the idea at the Bruce Vento Regional Trail in Ramsey County.

“I noticed there was graffiti in one particular area that was encouraging and very positive,” Trotter said. “When I saw it, I thought, ‘I can do that.’”

Earlier this summer Trotter started a chalk art project while walking through homeless encampments.

“It was a little bit therapeutic,” she said.

“I spent a fair amount of time walking the streets of St. Paul leaving behind messages of hope using chalk and the feedback I got was so encouraging. I ended up going to my network and we’re going to see if we can get this to be a global thing where we encourage people to leave messages of wisdom and hope.”

Trotter has organized a Chalk the World weekend beginning at 3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16, and ending at 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 18.

“The idea is simple,” Trotter said.

“I’m asking people to write a message for their neighbors in chalk and share a picture on social media using the hashtag

The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In 1955, the DAR petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on Aug.2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.

OPINION

SHOREVIEW PRESS

SEPTEMBER 13, 2022

Plugging in

think my fascination with the practical applications of electric vehicles started when I first spotted Tom Birkeland’s vintage Volkswagen Beetle outside the Mahtomedi District Center during a RITE of Spring event back in 2008. I was intrigued by a badge on the door of the vehicle indicating that it was fully electric.

Impressed with the imagination and creativity involved in transforming the iconic internal combustion vehicle into 100% electric, I contacted Tom and he offered to give me a tour and also a (bonus) ride. At the time he was using the restored vehicle to commute in and around White Bear Lake, with occasional forays into the Twin Cities — that pushed the limits of its range. The Angle of test drive showed the vehicle to be quiet and quick off the mark.

View I remember thinking at the time, if someone can build a capable Paul Dols commuter car in their garage on a budget, why couldn’t the major automakers come up with something?

In the intervening years progress has been made, most notably by Tesla entrepreneur Elon Musk. Demonstrating that speed and performance wouldn’t be an issue, the high-end Tesla Roadster was introduced in 2008. It gained attention for its quick acceleration — rivaling the performance of some of the most exotic cars available at the time.

Other electric vehicles don’t get nearly as much attention as the Tesla, but the (more humble) Nissan LEAF was listed as the world’s all-time top selling plug-in electric car through December 2019, before being surpassed by the Tesla Model 3 in early 2020 and sales of General Motor’s Chevy Bolt EV began in California in December 2016.

Sorting through the comments on a number of online stories, reviews and commentaries about electric vehicles, I’ve observed a trend. The overwhelming number of negative comments seem to come from people who don’t appear to have done much research, let alone take a test drive; while the overwhelming number of positive comments come from people who are actually using the vehicles on a daily basis.

My personal experience with a Nissan LEAF over the past year has been mostly positive, with a couple of exceptions. The immediate torque produced by the electric motor provides a quiet, quick and responsive driving experience and the battery range for the vast majority of day-to-day commuting and other activities is more than adequate. Charging the vehicle at home has been quite manageable. The increase in the electric bill is still significantly less than the cost of gasoline and the charges can be timed to take place at offpeak hours (after midnight) to further minimize the cost and also the demand on the power grid.

I can’t say that I miss the experience of going to the gas station, especially during recent spikes in fuel prices. While Tesla has created a robust charging network, the availability of charging stations for the drivers of other electric vehicles is spotty, so road trips must be planned carefully. I encountered the intersection of two of the primary weaknesses of EV’s (cold weather and range anxiety) during a trip up to Duluth last winter to visit family. A surprise encounter with freezing rain began to coat the windows of the vehicle. The need to turn up the heat caused a significant drop in the predicted battery range, adding drama to what would normally be a relatively routine trip.

I’m realistic enough to understand that electric vehicles are not a cure all, but they certainly can be part of a cleaner and more sustainable future, especially when you begin to factor in the evolution and growth of renewable energy sources like wind and solar. The bonus is that once you get behind the wheel of one of these vehicles, you discover that, along with the quiet efficiency, the overall driving experience is really quite impressive. It feels like the future.

A night at the movies?

A

couple weeks ago I was visiting some of my college friends in St. Peter, and like many twentysomethings, were racking our brains for something exciting to do.

Just as we had reached a full hour of sitting in silence and watching Bob’s Burgers, my friend suggested Corinne’s that we drive 10 minutes to the closest movie theater in Mankato to see Jordan Peele’s latest alien thriller, “Nope.”

Aside from the fact that I would personally Corner never opt to see a horror movie, Corinne going to see a Stremmel movie struck me as a weird proposal.

I hadn’t been “to the movies” in two years. It was way before the pandemic, maybe in December of 2019 that I saw the “Mr. Rogers” movie with my mom.

At the time, going to the movies didn’t feel as foreign of a concept. I remember going to Cinema 8, Brookings South Dakota’s premier and only movie theater, which had recently gone through a major renovation. It

was already around the time that the popularity of going to theaters was starting to decline, and theaters were looking for ways to bring in audiences.

Reclined seats, temperature control, plush leather and surround sound tried to lure audiences to the big screen, but despite all the bells and whistles, I just don’t get the appeal. Why would I go out to see a movie when I can watch the same movie on Netflix in my bed wearing my sweatpants whenever I want?

Covid probably killed the traditional movie theater for me, but the ritual of going to the movies was long dead before 2020. As streaming services became a household commodity in the 2010s, going to the movies stopped making sense.

And really, I don’t blame consumers. A single movie ticket is around the same price as one month’s subscription to Netflix.

However, I don’t think that streaming is the alternative to movie-going. Netflix lost 200,000 subscribers in the last quarter, their largest loss in over ten years. As the recession drags on, people are going to find other, cheaper ways of watching content.

But let’s go back to the great institution that movie theaters used to be. “Going to the movies” used to be an activity to fill Fri-

day and Saturday nights. People counted going to movies as a hobby, but now seeing a movie in a theater is probably the last item on my list of fun activities.

When we did actually go out of the house to see “Nope,” I was reminded that theaters do have some qualities you just can’t experience at home.

One of my friends who went to see “Dr. Strange” described it as “a movie you have to see in theaters” because of the sheer wall of sound in the film.

Perhaps that’s the way to resuscitate the movie theater business, by counting on big action-packed blockbusters with incredible sound editing that need to be experienced in a theater.

But that’s just not my type of movie. Remember I was seeing quiet, serene “Mr. Rogers” with my mom, not the latest Marvel flick with whooshing surround sound.

And as much as it pains me to think that theaters are on the decline, I’m just not the right customer for them.

However, though I’d never suggest it as an activity, if I were asked “do you want to see a movie?” I’d probably end up saying yes.

Council tables developmental stage of former Deluxe campus

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

The Shoreview City Council unanimously tabled a comprehensive plan amendment, preliminary plat and planned unit development application submitted by Scannell Properties for the 50-acre lot located at the former Deluxe campus at 3660/3680 Victoria St. N., in Shoreview.

“Scannell does have plans to develop the 50 acres in phases,” Allison Eddins, senior planner, said. “The uses are planned to be a mix of industrial, office, commercial, retail and multifamily. The east side of the lot is going to be phase one and the proposal right now is to develop it for industrial and office uses.”

According to Eddins, the west side of the property will be phase two. The plan is to develop it with a mixture of commercial and multifamily residential.

“I’m not convinced at this point that this is the best possible development for this site,” Mayor Sandy Martin said at the Sept.

6 City Council meeting. “I’m almost looking for a motion to table so that we could work on some of those aspects that I think are important for this larger development.”

Council Member John Doan said he was not comfortable with what is currently proposed for the site.

“We are basically making a decision on an almost lower 50acre parcel only knowing what will happen on a little less than half of it, and that’s of concern for me,” Doan said.

Representing Scannell Properties at the City Council meeting was Jake Kurth.

Martin said Scannell should understand how critical this site is to Shoreview. “What about this building is going to contribute to less energy use, and are you contemplating solar panels?” she asked.

Kurth said Scannell is not contemplating solar panels and he does not know exactly what will be in phase two of the development.

“Right now, we understand that this site is in a phenomenal location, it’s a diamond in the rough, and we have taken almost two years to put a plan together,” Kurth said. “We’ve had numerous conversations with several folks within the city to be able to best market the site.”

Council Member Sue Denkinger asked what Scannell is currently looking at regarding sustainability or green practices.

“If it’s not solar, what are your thoughts on what you can do with this diamond in the rough property?”

“Outside of creating highly functional buildings that are class A in the market today, aesthetically pleasing, and wellconstructed, that’s what we’re considering,” Kurth responded.

“I don’t have any other comments as far as sustainability practices, but I will certainly follow up with that.”

Martin remarked that she wanted to know if Scannell is willing to work with the city to try to incorporate energyefficient mechanisms.

“We are willing to work and

willing to explore and take that into consideration,” Kurth responded.

Denkinger noted that in the last community survey, one of the top three values from residents was the environment.

“There is an expectation on the behalf of residents that with our large premiere property here, we are doing everything we can to represent those values,” Denkinger said.

“I would caution the council, as City Manager Brad Martens mentioned, that we don’t have specific requirements for green technology and sustainability in our current code,” said Tom Simonson, assistant city manager and community development director. “It’s an issue that we can address with Scannell, certainly on the financing side of this, but from the development side, I think it puts the city in a difficult spot to require something that’s not in our code specifically.”

The council will discuss the matter at the Sept. 19 City Council workshop.

“I would like to see something more innovative, something more creative on this site,” Martin said. “I agree we probably don’t know what phase two could be, but we have to know that it will fit well, whatever it is.”

The next Shoreview City Council meeting is at 7 p.m.

Monday, Sept. 19, in the Council Chambers at City Hall, 4600 Victoria St. N., in Shoreview.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PAID LETTER To the editor: My name is Allison Rykken and I am writing to endorse Sue Denkinger for Shoreview Mayor.

My first interaction with Sue came five years ago, when the empty lot at the end of my street had a proposal come in. I’m not proud to say that I called her in an anxiety induced frenzy.

My husband and I had just purchased our home and the thought of a change so close to us felt like a threat to our investment. Nevertheless, Sue took my call. She listened as I shared my concerns over the proposed density changes to the property, and I was struck by her ability to be present and grounded in the face of my fear. In all honestly, I approached our conversation with an air of villianization – like she was responsible for my discomfort. It was not a comfortable dialogue, but through the conversation, Sue listened. She asked clarifying questions, and allowed me space to express my concerns. I got off the call, feeling heard but still afraid. A month passed and our neighborhood had organized. We had meetings, goals, wrote a letter to the city, gathered signatures, and were prepared for a fight. I reached out to city council members and personally invited them to our Night to Unite Block Party. Because I had already decided that city leadership members were out to get us, and didn’t care, I assumed they wouldn’t come to our disgruntled neighborhood, but Sue came. She showed up with her same level of empathic listening and sturdy presence. Throughout the night, I watched her interact with people, often saying very little herself, but hearing the concerns of my neighbors. Over time, and many more conversations, I realized that I couldn’t have been more wrong about the entire situation on my block, and with Shoreview city leadership.

Shoreview has been led by tremendous people, who have hearts and desires just like us – we have leadership that cares, listens, engages, and shows up. That kind of leadership is rare! I hope it can continue by electing Sue Denkinger for Mayor!

Allison Rykken Shoreview

PAID LETTER Vote for Sue Denkinger Join me in voting for Sue Denkinger for the Mayor of Shoreview on Nov. 8. I have served with Sue on the Shoreview Economic Development Commission and Economic Development Authority for several years. Sue is always prepared for our meetings and asks pertinent and thoughtful questions that add value and prompt additional discussion. On occasion, Sue has volunteered to stand in for Mayor Martin at community events to speak on behalf of the city. Each time she did her research, was prepared to speak, and represented the city with sincere, truthful well-spoken words. Sue brings experience and confidence to lead the city with our current values and work through our challenges. She is vested in this community, has proven her commitment by being active and involved, and will work hard to keep Shoreview a top place to live in Minnesota.

Celebrate the foundation of America The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) urges Americans to reflect on the United States Constitution during this month’s annual observance in honor this foundational document of national governance.

The NSDAR initiated the observance in 1955, when the service organization petitioned the U.S. Congress to dedicate Sept. 17–23 of each year to the commemoration of Constitution Week.

Congress adopted the resolution, and on Aug. 2, 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed it into Public Law #915. The celebration’s goals are threefold — to encourage the study of the historical events that led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787, to remind the public that

the Constitution is the basis of America’s great heritage and the foundation for its way of life, and to emphasize U.S. citizens’ responsibility to protect, defend and preserve the U.S. Constitution.

Sept. 17 marks the 235th Anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, which is commemorated annually by the “ringing of the bells” across America. The NSDAR encourages all citizens, churches, schools, veterans, and leaders to ring their bells in unison, for one minute, at 3 p.m. on Sept. 17.

One of the largest patriotic women’s organizations in the world, NSDAR has 190,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters across the country and several foreign countries, including the Harriet

G. Walker Chapter, NSDAR in Shoreview. For additional information about NSDAR go to www. dar.org.

Shoreview’s first pollinator and rain garden planted

The planting spot for the pollinator and rain garden at McCollough Park.

When finished, the garden will attract pollinators such as bees, moths and butterflies.

BY PREETI MATHUR CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The city’s first pollinator rain garden has been planted. Located at McCullough Park the garden is a cooperative effort between Arden HillsShoreview Rotary Club, partnering with the Shoreview Parks and Recreation and Public Works Department and the Rice Creek Watershed District.

A crew of 27 volunteers from the Arden HillsShoreview Rotary Club and Shoreview Garden Club, along with Shoreview’s natural resources team, worked in two shifts to plant over 400 plants.

The 2,000 square foot garden, designed by Brian Olsen, urban planner for Ramsey County, includes a variety of native Minnesota plants, well suited to attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and moths, as well as to filter the runoff water from the parking lot.

Charlie Oltman, President, Arden HillsShoreview Rotary Club, led the project with help from past President Mike Spellman and community service committee member, Kent Peterson. They applied for grants and a total of $11,664 was collected which included a $6,114 grant from the Shoreview Community Foundation and $2,550 from a Rotary District Grant. The ArdenHills-Shoreview Rotary Club contributed $3,000.

Since the Rotary regularly helps with McCollough Park’s clean-up and maintenance, it was the ideal location for the pollinator garden.

The project meets Rotary International’s goals of supporting the environment through the operation pollination initiative. This initiative which is one of Rotary’s six focus areas is led by the Environmental Sustainability Rotary Action Group. The group provides support to Rotary clubs and other partners all over the country and world with pollinator habitat restoration and education.

The idea for the pollinator garden was sparked by a talk given to the Arden-Hills-Shoreview Rotary Club by Chris Stein, a locally-based park ranger with the National Park Service and a Rotarian himself with a leadership role in Rotary’s pollination projects.

On planting day, Stein stopped by to see the garden and was impressed with the way the project was developed and implemented. “This would serve as a great showcase to encourage other such projects in the city,” he remarked.

Other visitors who stopped by to see the garden’s

progress, included Shoreview Mayor, Sandy Martin. Martin who has been involved with the Shoreview Community Foundation since its inception has seen its growth over the years from giving grants of a few thousand dollars to over a million dollars.

“I love this project,” Martin said. “It is exactly the sort of project I envisioned for the parks & recreation Fund. I like it because it is volunteerdriven and because it goes beyond what a city would normally be able to do.”

Another visitor, Sue Denkinger, Shoreview City Council member and mayoral candidate said, “The rain and pollinator garden represents the

best of the Shoreview community where an idea literally bloomed into a beautiful garden through the collaboration of volunteers, community organizations, and local government groups. This project worked because they all worked together to make it happen.”

Other visitors from the City of Shoreview include – City Manager Brad Martens, Parks Supervisor Ronnie Schreifels, Parks and Recreation Director Steve Benoit and Communications Specialist Josie Hayes.

Helping the volunteers with the planting were Olsen, Krista Biller Beck, Maria Friedges, and Lauren Nelson.

National Voter Registration Day boasts goal to register 1 million new voters National Voter Registration Day is on Sept. 20, 2022 and since its inception 10 years ago, nearly 5 million eligible voters have been registered to vote.

It’s a perfect time for persons to update their voter registration who are among the nearly 4 million citizens who turned 18 this year, or who have recently moved, had a name change or have not voted in the last four years. Persons can go to mnvotes. org to check their registration status, register to vote and find polling places.

According to 2020 post-election US Census data, as many as one-in-four eligible voters were not registered or weren’t sure of their registration status. Many reported not being registered because they did not know how, kept forgetting, didn’t have time,

were too busy or recently moved or changed their names. Fewer than 60% of potential voters aged 18-24 reported being registered.

National Voter Registration Day seeks to make sure everyone has the opportunity to get registered to vote.

The League of Women Voters is just one of more than 2,500 non-partisan businesses and non-profit organizations trying to reach the goal of registering a million new voters by Election Day 2022.

The general election on Nov.8 will see federal, state, county and local officials on the ballot.

Many people feel that their vote just doesn’t matter, especially for national offices. However, state, county and city leaders play a key role in making decision about what impacts voters and

our families the most. From property taxes to potholes; from school funding to skateboards on sidewalks; from zoning to law enforcement, most of the issues that affect our daily lives are decided at the local level.

Now, more than ever, people of all ages need elected officials that represent their views on city and town councils, county boards and in law enforcement. These elected officials can make change happen—or not.

Every single vote matters in local elections. Candidates have changed entire towns, cities or counties because they won by 10 or fewer votes. Margins are much closer on the local level than at the national level.

“I think we’ve all had experiences where we’ve had a bad day and when we hear the right word at the right time, it hits you the right way,” she said.

Messages Trotter leaves are simple and meant to be uplifting.

Including: “The answers you have are only as good as the questions you’ve asked.” “Be brave” and “Love your neighbors.” She also leaves anti-abuse messages like, “Life is always better without abuse,” and “Words are like seeds, Be careful what you’re planting.”

“The more people see it being done, the more likely they are to do it,” Trotter said. “We can start doing these things in an organized way and it will be one

ELECTRIC RATE INCREASE NOTICE

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS FOR XCEL ENERGY MINNESOTA CUSTOMERS Xcel Energy has asked the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) to approve an increase to electric rates over a three-year period beginning January 2022. The requested increase for 2022 is about 12.2 percent, or $396 million. Xcel Energy requested an additional 4.8 percent, or $150.2 million, for 2023; and an additional 4.2 percent, or $131.2 million, for 2024. On average, the proposed final rate change, which includes the 2022 Test Year and 2023 and 2024 Plan Years, would increase the bill for a typical residential electric customer by $18.56 per month.

The MPUC may either approve or deny the requested changes and may approve a lesser or greater increase than was requested for any customer class or classes of service.

The MPUC will likely make its decision on our rate request in the second quarter of 2023. If final rates are lower than interim (temporary) rates, we will refund customers the difference with interest. If final rates are higher than interim rates, we will not charge customers the difference.

If you move before a refund is issued and we cannot find you, your refund may be treated as abandoned property and sent to the Minnesota Department of Commerce, Unclaimed Property Unit. You can check for unclaimed property at www.missingmoney.com. To make sure we can send you any refund owed, please provide a forwarding address when you stop service.

PUBLIC HEARINGS Administrative Law Judge Christa L. Moseng will hold five in-person public hearings and two virtual public hearings so that customers have an opportunity to comment on the company’s request. Any Xcel Energy customer or other person may attend or provide comments at the hearings. You are invited to comment on the adequacy and quality of Xcel Energy’s service, the level of rates, or other related matters. You do not need to be represented by an attorney. The hearings will begin at their scheduled time and adjourn after everyone present has had an opportunity to comment or ask questions.

SUICIDE

PREVENTION MONTH Suicide is a problem that touches the lives of many Americans. Many of us may know someone, such as a friend, family member, or coworker who has attempted or died by suicide. Over the past two decades, suicide rates have steadily risen in the United States. Suicide is currently ranked 10th for cause of death among all ages.

It’s important for you to know that suicide is preventable. With commitment and engagement in our communities, workplaces, and homes, together we can help reduce the number of suicides.

What are the warning signs that someone is at risk for suicide?

• Feeling extreme depression, guilt, or shame.

• Feeling hopeless.

• Talking about, or preoccupation with, death or suicide.

• Preparing for death, such as updating/preparing a will, giving away possessions, or taking steps to access lethal means (buying a firearm, acquiring quantities of pills/medication, researching ways to die).

• Exhibiting a dramatic change in behavior, including withdrawal from friends or usual activities, increased alcohol/drug use, difficulties in sleeping or eating, decreased self-care.

What should I do if I suspect someone is experiencing a crisis or is hurting?

If you believe someone needs help, we encourage you to follow the ACE (Ask, Care, Escort) suicide prevention model, with these easy-to-remember steps: Ask – Ask, “Are you thinking of killing yourself?” Although it may feel awkward,

Be willing to listen or simply keep them company.

“One of the most powerful things that we can offer to a bereaved friend or family member is to just be with them, while accepting their feelings and remaining present and empathic,” says Vollmann.

Let them know that they can be vulnerable with you and your door is always open.

Knowing the right thing to say doesn’t come naturally, especially when the topics of death and grief are always avoided.

Since July 2022, 988 is the new three-digit dialing code to route callers from across the U.S. to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. research shows that people having thoughts of suicide feel relief when someone asks them in a caring way.

Care – Show you care. The context of caring makes it a lot easier to ask the hard questions about suicide. By actively listening and engaging, without judgment, you are showing that you care – this might just be enough to help the person feel relief and that they are not alone.

Escort – When someone acknowledges that they are feeling suicidal or hopeless, care enough to connect them to the nearest helping resource. Do not leave them alone! If possible, separate them from methods of harm.

What to say and what not to say to someone who is grieving the loss of a loved one (from Insider.com; May 2022. The article was medically reviewed Seek the Truth Counseling

Here’s what you should avoid saying to a grieving person: “God has a plan.” or “They’re in a better place now.” There are varying meanings of death among different belief systems.

Unless you’re certain that they share your faith in what happens after death, don’t force it on them as it will not be comforting.

“Everything happens for a reason.” or “It was meant to be.” Avoid saying statements that try to justify the loss. Don’t suggest that a terrible and painful tragedy deserved to happen to them.

“You need to move on.” Grieving lasts a long, long time and there’s no getting over it. Their loss will continue to be meaningful to them over time, and telling them to move on or cheer up will only invalidate their grief. “It can sound like a judgement, as if they are mourning too much or too long, and make people feel unable to share about their grief,” says Vollmann.

by David A. Merrill, MD, PhD, psychiatrist and director of the Pacific Neuroscience Institute’s Pacific Brain Health Center at Providence Saint John’s Health Center.)

“Listen to them with empathy, and avoid judgment. There is no timeline for grief, and it is helpful to avoid expectations that someone will feel better or stop talking about their loss after an arbitrary amount of time has passed,” says Sarah Vollmann, MPS, a board-certified art therapist and faculty member of the Portland Institute for Loss and Transition.

There are times when a grieving person wants to talk about their loss and times that they don’t, so let them know that you’re open to talking about their loss while also letting them decide if and when they want to open up. According to Vollmann, you can say something along the lines of, “I don’t know if you feel like

ROCK THE SCHOOL HOUSE: Fundraiser helps Mounds View Schools FROM PAGE 1

presented by The Diffley Team.

“The line for this crowd favorite is never-ending and the roar of the crowd when someone wins is electrifying!” DePhillips said.

Also returning this year is local fashion illustrator Claire Ward. She will be on hand to sketch people in only five to seven minutes and will receive a free portrait.

“We worked with Claire last year at our event, and the attendees were very impressed so we’re excited to have her back for another year,” DePhillips said. “And in honor of the 10th Anniversary, the Foundation is planning a few additional activities, like “Putting, Plinko and the Purple One,” and “Rings & Things.” “We have a few more surprises in store for our attendees. They just might see a few legendary rockers mingling about.”

DePhillips said the Rock the School House online auction has become a

tradition for many over the years.

Nearly all of the items in this auction are donated by businesses in the community, staff and families within the school district.

“The online auction is another way for our attendees to give to the Mounds View Schools Education Foundation,” DePhillips said. “The money raised through the auction benefits the students. You can find something for everyone and at every price point, making this auction something everyone can enjoy.”

How it began

According to Mindy Handberg, former MVSEF executive director & current coordinator of community partnerships at Mounds View Schools, 10 years ago the MVSEF went through significant changes, including a new name (formerly 621 Foundation), identity and website.

“The staff and board of trustees wanted to celebrate those changes with the community and scheduled

the first Rock the School House event at Silverwood Park in St. Anthony,” Handberg said. “We sold out the first event featuring the Belfast Cowboys band, which included some of our very own teachers. Since that first event, Rock the School House format has evolved, but the intent to bring our community together to celebrate an incredible school district has remained the same.”

According to Heather Meyer, MVSEF executive director, the money raised through this event and other efforts, are directed to a variety of initiatives that align with the Mounds View School District’s operating priorities.

Examples of these over the years include – funding for the ACT exam to juniors at no cost, increasing access to school-owned music instruments, improving access to materials in STEAM labs, providing initial inventory of books and materials for the two Kindergarten Center libraries and supporting the Equity Promise Scholarship Program.

“We believe Rock the School House has a tradition of offering staff, parents and alumni a chance to celebrate the value and importance of the foundation’s work,” Meyer said.

“Rock the School House is notably the MVSEF’s primary source of revenue – the more money we raise, the more our students benefit. We are always excited to see everyone come together for our annual fundraiser and invest in the programs we support that enhance the lives of our students and their families.”

Deer season outlook is good, safety a top priority

ROY HEILMAN

Hundreds of thousands of Minnesota deer hunters will take to the woods this fall. For those climbing into stands, safety should be priority #1.

ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Minnesota’s deer hunting tradition is rich and strong, reaching back many generations and in general, hunters in 2022 can expect more opportunities to harvest deer.

Seasons summary

Overall deer harvest is expected to be strong across the state in 2022. Firearms season begins Nov. 5, youth and early antlerless hunts will take place Oct. 20-23, and archery season begins Sept. 17.

Available tags will be stable or increasing in number in the vast majority of deer permit areas (DPAs).

Because of recent chronic wasting disease (CWD) finds, new CWD zones have been established. Over opening weekend, sample submissions will be mandatory in CWD management, control, and surveillance zones. Carcass movement restrictions will continue to be in place. As always, hunters are encouraged to consult the regulations booklet or the DNR website for the most updated information.

According to data available from the Minnesota DNR, 2021 license sales across the state were strong (586,963), down slightly from 2020, which had been the highest since 2011. Deer harvest was also

reduced, by roughly 9,000 animals.

In DPA 701, which encompasses the heart of the Twin Cities metro area, 2021 total deer harvest was 2,331. Archery hunters accounted for 1,495 (64%), and firearms hunters took 726 (31%).

Muzzleloader, youth, and early antlerless seasons accounted for only 110 deer all together.

DPA 236 (an area less than a third of DPA 701), which includes the northern Stillwater area, Hugo, Centerville, and Forest Lake, saw overall harvest that was similar, at 1,943 deer. However, archery and firearms hunters took proportions of deer that were roughly inverse from those in DPA 701, around 32% and 57%, respectively.

As in 2021, DPA 701 will have a 5-deer limit and DPA 236 will have a 3-deer limit in 2022. Hunters who are or may be hunting on private land or within city limits are responsible for knowing boundaries and laws pertaining to their location.

September is Tree Stand Safety Awareness month. Tree stand accidents are the leading cause of injury to hunters.

Thousands fall from elevated stands each year, causing many to take trips to emergency rooms. Some are killed by their falls.

Fortunately, according to data provided by the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, treestand falls requiring emergency room care have been on a downward trend. There has been an estimated 70% reduction between 2010 and 2021.

Also fortunate is the fact that falls from tree stands are almost entirely preventable.

According to the Tree Stand Safety Awareness Foundation, 86% of fall victims were not wearing a body harness, and 99% were not secured to the tree or stand.

Jeff Davis is Communications Director for Whitetails Unlimited, a national nonprofit organization of over 110,000 members with a focus on deer hunting, resource conservation, and education. He knows that falls from tree stands offer the potential of serious injury, and that harnesses can nearly eliminate that risk.

“No deer in the world is worth serious injury that ranges from a twisted ankle to death,” Davis said. “Any time you get above the ground, you should wear a harness. The modern full-body harnesses are very good; they prevent a lot of injuries. Think what would happen if you fell and broke your pelvis or something else and couldn’t work…or worse.”

He likened body harnesses to seat belts, in that some people resist them, but they

pose little imposition and offer lots of protection.

“You just get in the habit and it becomes second nature. It takes only a little thinking and a little doing,” he said.

If hunters consider a safety harness an undue expense, Davis suggests they consider the cost of gas, ammunition, and other factors, then “work it into the budget.”

Harnesses are widely available and affordable. The highlyregarded Tree Spider line of harnesses, for example, has

options that start at less than $100, according to Davis.

Davis also suggested that nonhunters buy a harness for those they know who need one.

When it comes to implementing safety gear, he offered one last piece of advice. “Practice with it ahead of time. Don’t be trying it on for the first time an hour before sunrise on opening day.”

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com After a hot start to the month, we’ve enjoyed great September weeks so far, with very comfortable temperatures and light winds. Temperatures have been on rollercoaster during the work week reaching into the 80’s, but with timely cold fronts the weekends have been pretty nice. I’ve noticed some color in area trees and it won’t be long before the fall color season is upon us. The sun is setting earlier and earlier, much to my displeasure, as Autumn begins on Thursday, September 22 at 8:03 pm. My garden is rewarding us with tomatoes and I will be canning them for future use. Note: Look for my 2023 weather calendar ordering info soon.

Meet Ace, Mounds View’s newest K-9 officer

Mounds View Police Officer Alex Aase and K-9 Ace.

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

There’s a new K-9 in town and he’s a German shepherd named Ace. Earlier this year the Mounds View Police Department retired Nikko, one of its K-9s. and they needed to find a replacement and a new K-9 handler.

Mounds View Police Officer Alex Aase applied for

the position.

“It was definitely awesome when I got the position because it’s nice to have a little buddy around where I can take care of him at home and then take him to work with me,” Aase said. “We picked him up on March 7 and we started our certification training on April 18.”

Ace did his police training at Minnesota Canine Consulting (MCC). “It’s a new certification program for police dogs they started this year and we were actually the first canine unit to be certified through this new company,” Aase said.

His first official shift was on July 5.

Ace is settling nicely into his new home with Aase, who previously lived alone.

“I think he loves it,” Aase said. “He enjoys tearing apart my wood pile in the back, chewing on sticks and running around the backyard.”

There are two dog kennels in the home — one in the garage and the other in the house.

“The one in the house is for really hot or really cold days,” Aase said. “I think he’s really liking it so far.”

According to Aase, Ace is trained to locate human odor and ground disturbance.

“It took us 10 weeks of training and we’re still not perfect but he’s able to track human odor,” Aase said. “He can recognize ground disturbance if someone runs across gravel, grass or a field by using his nose.”

Ace recently found a fleeing suspect.

“We were asked by another agency to come help look for a suspect,” Aase said. “Ace was able to locate the subject in a giant dumpster and we got our first official find together. He got a McDonald’s ice cream cone as a reward for all his good work.”

For people who don’t know much about dogs or K-9s, Aase said it is astronomical how much better dogs can smell compared to humans.

“It’s crazy what he can pick up with just his nose in the pitch black of darkness,” Aase said. “He can find the littlest amount of human odor on a leaf and end up being able to track it for a mile and find somebody.”

According to Aase, Ace has the perfect temperament to be a friendly dog as well as to obeying a command on the job.

“He’s a very friendly dog and loves other dogs and other people,” Aase said. “We had a demo at one of our festivals and a bunch of adults and kids got to come up and pet him. He was licking them and rolling around on his belly.

“When I give him a command, it’s like a light switch goes off and he’s in K-9 mode,” Aase said.

Aase said there is a K-9 unit on patrol every night.

When Ace and Aase are not working, the K-9 unit of Sgt. Brian Schultes and his partner Grizz are on patrol.

“We have a pretty special bond that’s for sure,” Aase said. “I couldn’t ask for a better dog to be paired up with.”

Mustang gridders fall to T-G, Osseo

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Mounds View Mustangs have lost their first two football games and hope to break into the win column Friday, hosting White Bear Lake.

“Both games, we have had opportunities to win yet have fallen short,” coach Aaron Moberg said.

“Really proud of the way this group has competed in both games. We are getting in our own way at times. Football is a game of 11 guys executing. That is what we are striving for as a group.”

The Mustangs have not gotten much going on the ground yet. Their main offense has been Owen Wark throwing to Tyler Nystrom, both returning all-conference players.

Standouts on defense have been Abdallah Abed up front and linebackers Sammy Hinrichs and Evan Hatton on the outside.

“We think we are getting close,” Moberg said.

“These guys love each other and believe that our best football is ahead of us.”

Totino-Grace 27, Mustangs 20

NAMYSTPHOTOGRAPHY.COM

Mounds View’s Sam Hinrichs sacked Totino-Grace quarterback Nicholas Ruohemen, popping the ball loose. The Mustangs recovered the fumble.

The Mustangs were bogged down by five turnovers in a game that went down to the wire, with each team scoring twice in the last 10 minutes, on Sept. 1 at home.

The Mustangs trailed 20-7 and closed within 20-14 and 27-20 late in the game. They notched three short touchdowns. Owen Wark hit Nystrom for a threeyard score and ran for the other two, from two yards and one yard.

Wark completed 16 of 27 passes for 190 yards. He had three interceptions. The Mustangs also lost two fumbles while netting just 24 yards on 21 ground plays. Nystrom caught five passes for 99 yards, Ryan Counihan two for 31, Jack Bray two for 24, Caden Persuitti four for 11, and Hinrichs one for 17.

Totino-Grace scored on a two-yard run by EJ Mathis, an interception by Colin Rowe, a one-yard run by Samuel Johnson, and quarterback Nicholas Ruohemen’s 51-yard run. Ruohonen completed 14 of 21 for 177 yards. with Dave Malark gaining 70 on two catches. Mathis carried 20 times for 90 yards.

Osseo 21, Mustangs 14

The Mustangs could not contain the Osseo ground game, giving up 283 yards on 51 rushes, on Sept. 8.

Oriole touchdowns were a two-yard run by Hayden Potratz, a 37-yard run by Devin Williams and a 30yard run by Bryce Hawthorne.

The Mustangs, down by 14 twice, closed the gap on a seven-yard run by DJ Koch, and a 25-yard pass from Wark to Jack Brey. Ben Holland kicked two conversions.

Mounds View was limited to 146 yards from scrimmage, including just four net yards on the ground. Wark completed 11 of 27 for 142 yards, with one interception. Nystrom caught eight for 113 yards.

Billy Turner, gone from Packers, starts 9th pro season with Broncos

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Billy Turner, veteran NFL offensive lineman from Mounds View, is back with the Denver Broncos this season, after three seasons as a starter with the Green Bay Packers. He began his ninth pro season Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks.

With the Packers, Turner missed the last three games in 2021 with an injury suffered Dec. 12 against Chicago, when a teammate blocked a Bear defender into the side of his left knee.

Turner, 30, still had a year left on a four-year, $28 million contract with the Packers, but they released him in March, with the status of his knee still in doubt. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst praised Turner as “a true professional whose work ethic and leadership were big factors in the team’s success over the last few years.”

Turner was a starter in 47 games, mostly at right tackle, but also had starts at left tackle and right guard when teammates were injured.

The Broncos, for whom he played in 2017 and 2018, signed him later in March. Still rehabilitating his knee, he missed much of the training camp, but joined workouts on Aug. 17. In the final cuts, he was one of nine offensive linemen making the team, listed as a right tackle.

“I’m encouraged with Billy and the strides he’s taken the last couple weeks,” said George Paton, Broncos general manager, on the website denverbroncos. com. “I think he has a good chance to be ready.”

Turner, during training camp, was quoted on Broncoswire.com about his status: “I know what it takes to go and play a game for 60 minutes against any team in this league. It’s not a mental aspect as much as it is the physical and the timing part — getting back into the groove of football.”

Broncos head coach Nathaniel Hackett was an assistant at Green Bay when Turner was there. Hackett told the Denver media after signing Turner that his ability to play multiple positions “and never complain” was a big factor, adding,

MUSTANGS BOYS SOCCER Aidan Petrich, goalkeeper for both the Mounds View soccer and hockey teams, has allowed just two goals in four games as the Mustangs have posted two wins and two ties against a strong early schedule. Petrich manned the nets for the state champion Mustangs as a junior, yielding just three goals the last four games (a section finals shutout, and wins of 2-1, 2-0 and 3-2 at state).

In hockey last winter, Petrich had .917 save percentage and 2.28 goalsagainst-average.

“From his run blocking to his back-side cutoffs to his pass protection, he worked so hard.”

Turner, a 2010 Mounds View graduate who also played baseball for the Mustangs, helped North Dakota State capture three national championships.

He was consensus All-America his last two seasons.

Drafted by Miami in 2014, he spent three seasons with the Dolphins followed by two with Denver. Battling injuries, he was a starter for one year with each.

After blocking for one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time at Green Bay, three-time league MVP Aaron Rodgers, Turner joins another team with a premier NFL quarterback: Russell Wilson, acquired this year in a trade with Seattle.
