View High School alumna. “I feel so blessed to have been able to attend Mounds View High School. The choir program was phenomenal, and really helped me hone my singing and sight-reading skills,” she said. “I was also mentored and inspired by the choir director, Mr. Espe, who accepted me into concert choir as one of the only sophomores that year. He really believed in me, and I’m so thankful for that.” Growing up, Lauren said she always knew she loved to sing and create music. She had big dreams of being on “American Idol” or something like that. “I always had lots of people telling me I should try out for singing competitions, and I think that helped motivate me to believe in myself,” Lauren said. “Music has always been my heart’s calling. I feel so fulfi lled when I create and perform music, and I want to be able to inspire and empower others with my music as well.” After high school, Lauren attended Arizona State University thinking about a business, music or theater degree. She said her parents wanted

Tim Pratt, longtime chair of the Shoreview Environmental Quality Committee, recognized residents and businesses who enhance the environment for the city of Shoreview with an awards presentation at the Shoreview City Council meeting. “It's just wonderful to see the work that these people came up with,” Pratt said. “We have to recognize all the hard work of all the committee members over the years and the generous support that you, the council, has provided, because that's what makes this program resonate.” Pratt said residents can plant native plants, replace turf grass, put in shoreline buffers, use pure resources, put in solar panels or use enhanced recycling programs. The winners this year are: • Marsha Kurka: Worked with partners to create a rain garden in a low area that continually flooded, solved a drainage issue, improved aesthetics of the landscape and created a beautiful and usable space. She also increased habitat for pollinators and other wildlife. • Thomas Reynen and Stephen Gryzan: Worked with the county to solve a water quality issue at their property on Lake

Lauren Nicole Tomhave began to sing as soon as she could talk, and her love for music grew along with her. She started learning guitar around age 8, began songwriting around age 10, and started piano lessons at age 11 while growing up in Shoreview with her parents Doug and Wendy Tomhave and siblings Derek and Megan. “I knew from a young age that I wanted to pursue music and be a positive role model for people,” Lauren said. “I grew up with a dad who loved to sing, play guitar, play piano and write songs, so I grew up singing with him at campfi res and family get-togethers. I really looked up to my dad and his passion for music — and still do. He certainly had the biggest impact on my life regarding music at the time. We would play lots of music together, and he would be so ecstatic when I’d show him a new song I wrote.” Lauren started performing in musical theater shows as a child, and joined choir programs starting in middle school. She’s a 2013 Mounds

her to have a backup plan, and discouraged her from pursuing a degree in the arts. During her fi rst year in college, she had built up a catalogue of original songs that she wanted to release. She started recording and building her brand as an artist. Leading up to her fi rst EP release, she released covers on YouTube and SoundCloud. Lauren knew the music industry was very competitive, but she decided, “If they can do it, so can I!” “The summer after my fi rst year, I had a conversation with my brother that made me realize that if I really wanted to pursue music, then I shouldn’t be in Arizona,” Lauren said. “I decided I needed to be in California, so I moved back to Minnesota to attend Century College for a year while I applied to schools in Southern California. For my last two years of college, I attended the University of Southern California and graduated in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in communication.” After having an out-of-body experience that completely changed her perspective on life, Lauren began writing music for her fi rst fulllength debut album, “Ascend.” “I started writing the music for it around 2016. I realized that we are infi nite spiritual beings having a temporary human experience, that our consciousness/soul exists past this physical incarnation and that we are all connected,” Lauren said. “Since then, I have experienced a series of spiritual awakenings that have profoundly impacted my worldview and how I show up in the world. These experiences inspired me to create music that will heal, empower and remind people of our oneness. I started getting what I refer to as ‘channeled downloads from the universe,’ where new songs will pop into my head clairaudiently while I’m in a flow state or in meditation.” Lauren said the the album “Ascend” delves into concepts of universal consciousness, selfawareness and spirituality, as well as choosing love over fear. It is going to be a unique blend of Indie pop, alternative dance, indietronica and house music. She also decided to use the stage name Lauren Nikohl for her music. “This is the fi rst big project I’ll be selfproducing. In the past few years I’ve really been developing my sound and style,” she said. “I don’t have an official release date yet, but I’m thinking early 2022.” The fi rst single off the album, “Energy,” was released Sept. 24. Nikohl describes the song as an upbeat dance track about infi nite nature. “Energy cannot be created nor destroyed,

it can only transform. What we think of as ‘death’ is really just a transition of energy, a change of perspectives and worlds,” she said. Lauren and her partner of 11 years, Jeff Landby — a Mounds View High School alumnus who also grew up in Shoreview — moved to Los Angeles in 2015 and have a calico cat named Cali. “One great thing about Los Angeles is that you will never be bored. There are countless concerts, art performances, and other events to attend. Jeff and I particularly love going to house and techno shows to dance all night, and these shows greatly influenced my musical style. I’ve been able to network in Los Angeles in ways that I don’t think I could in Minnesota — the culture out here is very creative and like-minded, and I’ve been able to meet amazing musicians, producers, marketing creatives and more from going out to various music events and performing at different venues,” Lauren said. “For a music lover and creator, Los Angeles is such a magical place to be. You defi nitely have to keep an eye out, though, for people who have greedy or selfi sh intentions, because there are plenty of people in LA who are just looking to get ahead or scam you. I’ve learned a lot about discernment living in Los Angeles, and about aligning with people who have similar values and intentions.” Lauren said her family is super supportive of her music, and very open-minded about her spirituality. “My parents are my biggest fans, and will routinely message me that they had a ‘Lauren Nikohl night’ where they binge all my YouTube videos,” she said. “I also have two grandparents in Shoreview, Jim and Joanne Ford, who love hearing about my music, but I think they’re also a little worried about me living in Los Angeles,” she laughed. Lauren recalled memories of the Minnesota city she was raised in and loves. “Shoreview is such a wonderful place to grow up. I lived within biking/walking distance to at least five different lakes, and people in Los Angeles think that’s amazing when I tell them that; we really take it for granted,” she said. “My absolute favorite thing to do every summer growing up was to bike to the Slice of Shoreview.” To learn more about Lauren Nikohl and her music, use the following social media links: Instagram: www.instagram.com/ LaurenNikohl Facebook: www.facebook.com/laurennikohl Twitter: www.twitter.com/laurennikohl_ YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/laurennikohl Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/ artist/2T1X6ZxoikMBWJxIiyuJ1f Patreon: www.patreon.com/laurennikohl Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ laurennikohl

Free-wheeling conversations

recently submitted photo to Press Publications showed a sign at a rest stop along a local trail. It read, “You’re one bike ride away from a good mood.” Based on personal experience, I would have to wholeheartedly agree with this simple message. One of the most consistently reliable respites from the day-to-day stresses we’ve been experiencing over the past year and a half has been outdoor activities. Specifically, bike rides, both solo and with groups of friends have proven to be welcome highlights. I’m grateful for the technology that has enabled us to keep in touch via Zoom calls, but there has been something special and comforting about getting together with friends I’ve known for decades for bike rides. Angle of I happen to be part of a generation where bicycles View represented an early key to childhood freedom and expanded Paul Dols responsibility, so bicycling in some form has always had a place in my life. I still marvel at the technology that enables us to so quietly and efficiently roll through the surrounding landscape. Appreciation for the bicycle has come from some surprising notables including John F. Kennedy and Steve Jobs. The quote “Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride” is attributed to Kennedy and I even found a vintage photo online (that looks legitimate) of the late president wearing sunglasses and smiling while pedaling a bike. Early videos of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs show him referencing a Scientific American article about the efficiency of the bicycle which stated “that a person on a bicycle was more energy efficient than a condor in flight and many times more energy efficient than a person in an automobile.” Jobs also made connections between the bicycle and computer technology saying, “What a computer is to me is it’s the most remarkable tool that we’ve ever come up with, and it’s the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds.” The act of riding a bike can also make us more receptive and open to our surroundings. In a New York Times article, musician David Byrne cited his bicycle rides through different neighborhoods in Manhattan, where he was exposed to a mix of music from all over the world, as a direct influence on the ground breaking and influential music of the Talking Heads. I feel fortunate that friends from the Twin Cities have been interested in meeting up and exploring the trail network up here in the Northeast Metro. Last weekend, however, a small group of us decided to expand our territory a bit with a ride along the Cannon Valley Trail between Red Wing and Cannon Falls. It’s surprising how effortlessly twenty miles can roll by when you’re having conversations with friends. As we pedaled along the trail, a wide range of ages and skill levels of bicyclists appeared to be successfully sharing the space. With a bit of courtesy and patience, everyone seemed to be getting along. My family had a farm about five miles south of Cannon Falls, so I have some familiarity with the area. Back when passenger trains were still running along the route of the current bike trail, my parents gave me a one-way ticket out of town as a high school graduation present. A week after graduating, I boarded the train at the depot in Red Wing and headed out west for a summer job in Glacier National Park. I find it notable that a dominant, world changing technological advancement from a previous century has formed the foundation for the multi-use trail systems we now enjoy. Some bittersweet feelings are elicited as the days begin to get shorter, but I still look forward to getting the most out of the remaining crisp, mood enhancing days autumn has to offer.

Fall is for planting

f your pots and garden beds are starting to look worn out from the heat of summer, it might be time to update them with some beautiful fall options. While most gardeners are familiar with choices such as mums, grasses, and pansies, a plethora of plants are available to add color and interest to your garden.

Mums and Asters: The traditional fall flowers, mums and asters come in many colors and will fi ll out more than other options. Note that they only bloom once and will bloom out faster in the Movers & heat. They tend to use more water Shakers than some other Ashley Sobczak selections, and they can get top heavy and break easily. However, if you’re looking to fi ll in a large area without a lot of effort, they are your best choice. Rudbeckia: A great option for height, Rudbeckia provides a nice pop of golden-yellow or deep red. Rudbeckia needs a fair amount of water but will give you bold colors and larger flowers.

Celosia: Celosia adds gorgeous color to any fall planting, as well as providing height and shape interest. Celosia doesn’t require as much water as some other options, but it does not handle frost well. Dianthus: Often overlooked for fall plantings, dianthus holds up to the cold relatively well and offers unique colors not found in most fall options. Dianthus comes in a variety of heights and colors to suit your needs. Pansies: Another traditional option, pansies hold up well to the frost, lasting longer than other flowers as the season progresses. They will not do well in hot conditions. Grasses: A wide range of grasses are available for fall planting, and many can be planted earlier in the season. Some options include red or purple fountain grass (Pennisetum setaceum ‘Rubrum’), spiralis (Juncus effusus), toffee twist sedge (Carex flagellifera), and Blue Mohawk® soft rush (Juncus inflexus). Grasses add both color and height interest for fall. Ornamental peppers: Gaining in popularity, ornamental peppers can be found in a variety of color options, including deep purple and reddish-orange. They will add a fun, unique touch to fall plantings.

Fillers: Flowering kale, dusty miller, and senecio are great options to add subtle color and interest. Flowering kale comes in a variety of colors and shapes. However, the rabbits will love them as much as you will. Dusty miller and senecio will add a softer look and are less appetizing to four-legged visitors. Tips and tricks Don’t plant too early; especially with mums and asters, as they only bloom once. For grasses and other ﬁ llers, incorporate them into your spring or summer plantings to save time and money in the fall. Otherwise, stop by your local garden center during their endof-summer sale to snag these at discounted prices. Use your imagination and take a chance on trying different things. Gardening is all about experimentation and having fun! Step out of your comfort zone – you just might discover something new. Interested in becoming an Extension Master Gardener volunteer?

SHOREVIEW PRESS www.presspubs.com

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I’ve begun a fi le of cruelties inflicted by people claiming to be “Americans”: assaults on retail and airline workers and public health and school board members; disrespect for doctors and nurses and city council members; assaults and assassinations of police; and now a wave of police chiefs retiring. We’ve already had suicides by doctors and EMT personnel. Many above are quitting in record numbers. We have a critical shortage of trained medical personnel to operate hospitals. Teachers, school bus drivers, city council members, school board and public health workers have quit. We’re being held hostage by vaccine and mask refuseniks disabling hospitals and normal life and threatening to scuttle schools. We’ve discovered millions of workers who are grossly underpaid. During COVID, many rethought their occupation. At a public meeting out West, a woman said: “I have a constitutional right to be mean to you guys.” A “constitutional” right to be mean??? One result of this is that the very glue keeping America running is threatened. If we cannot find decent, dedicated people to do the work of fi rst responders, public health and school board members, doctors and nurses, city councils, teachers and

bus drivers, retail and farm workers, what kind of “America” will we be? Trucking companies are trying driverless trucks, claiming this will “benefit” us. Unsaid: this requires fi ring 2.5 million truckers; another form of “outsourcing.” We cannot, in civil manner, discuss our urgent problems: income inequality, global warming, immigration, reproductive rights, public safety, health costs, America’s world role. This is because some “have” to score “political points” pandering to their “base.” Because we don’t discuss and rationally solve them, these issues fester and continue, partly by design. Some in secure and privileged positions benefit by having no solutions. Others reportedly make $30-70 million annually “throwing out red meat” on media. My brother and I often say how much we miss Mom and Dad. It’s better this way. They’d be angry over what America has become. Their generation believed “we” were more important than “me.” A nation in which millions believe “I have a constitutional right to be mean” cannot continue. Cruelties have consequences. Tom Dolen Shoreview

Ramsey County reviews hours, policies at local parks A handmade sign posted at White Bear Lake County Park last week and flyers distributed to residents living near the park indicate that Ramsey County is proposing to open parks 24 hours a day. The signs, flyers and social media posts are in response to Ramsey County's Park Ordinance Project, which seeks to revise the current park ordinance. The ordinance was adopted in 1992 and hasn't been changed since 2007. No changes to park hours or other policies have been made. “This is a routine process to make sure the ordinances are reflective of modern needs,” says Mark McCabe. “For example, drones flying in parks weren't a thing in 2007. It's necessary to review policies to make sure they are current with the times.” According to information on the county's website, the Park Ordinance Project aims to respond to community feedback about park access; minimize or eliminate regulations that increase inequity; and modernize the ordinance. From Dec. 2020 through March 2021, staff reviewed the ordinance and drafted revisions, constituting phase one of the project. Phase two consisted of soliciting community feedback through an online survey of residents. The survey, open from July 17 to Aug. 17, collected resident responses on the following topics: park hours, tobacco use and vaping in parks, fi nes and penalties for violations, as well as feedback about other sections of the ordinance. The survey was ad-

vertised through signs at parks, outreach to stakeholders and social media. McCabe said they received more than 1,400 responses and 8,600 comments on the park ordinance. Additionally, two virtual community conversations were held; 45 people participated. Residents may continue to submit feedback to staff and county commissioners by email. Those comments will be added to the public record. With regard to the survey question about park hours, respondents were asked “What is appealing” about Option A, setting year-round park hours from 5 a.m. until 11 p.m.; or Option B, eliminating park hours, making them accessible 24/7. Ramsey County parks are currently open to the public 30 minutes before sunrise to 30 minutes after sunset. McCabe says the question of park access has been a concern for residents, and Ramsey County is among few agencies in the Twin Cities area that does not have posted hours. Survey respondents and social media posts have expressed a variety of concerns, including that parks being open 24 hours could result in overnight encampments, or “tent cities.” McCabe said current policy does not allow overnight camping in parks, and that the policy would not change with any revisions to the ordinance. “There is no overnight camping in the parks, and that policy would stay in the ordinance regard-

less,” says McCabe. “Local laws are also in effect at parks.” An email response from County Commissioner Victoria Reinhardt reiterated that no changes to the ordinance have been made at this time. “Ramsey County Parks and Recreation is in the process of requesting and receiving many comments and concerns from residents regarding potential Park Ordinance revisions, including park hours of operation,” said Reinhardt in an email. “A Ramsey County Board workshop is scheduled for early November to discuss any recommended changes to the Park Ordinance that are in alignment with the resident feedback currently being gathered.” The Ramsey County Board of Commissioners will review recommendations, consider resident feedback, and provide direction on policy changes at a workshop scheduled for Nov. 2. Based on that discussion, policy changes to the ordinance could be brought to commissioners for a vote at a later date. Information about the Park Ordinance Project and a compilation of survey responses can be viewed at ramseycounty.us/residents/parks-recreation/planning-construction-restoration/park-ordinance-project.

Council approves amended tax abatement for Edison project BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

A public hearing was held at a recent Shoreview City Council meeting regarding the approval and authorization of an amended and restated tax abatement agreement with KJPL Shoreview Two LLC (Phase II) – for the Edison at Rice Creek Project, currently under construction. Assistant City Manager and Community Development Director Tim Simonson gave a brief presentation before the public hearing. “The final phase that was approved is for an additional 33 rental townhomes and carriage homes,” Simonson said. “The city and developer have agreed to the fi nal phase to include four additional affordable units among the 33 that are being built.” According to Simonson, the developer and city have agreed on another tax abatement for this final phase to include an additional four affordable housing units. The proposed tax abatement to support this change is $340,000 payable over 20 years beginning in 2024. Here is a summary of the revisions made to the

amended Phase II: • A total of 189 multifamily units will be built (150 apartment units, 30 townhomes, and nine carriage houses). • There will be 10 units available to Shoreview residents whose income meets 80% of area median income. • Of the 10 units, eight will be supported by tax abatements from the city and the remainder will be provided at the developer’s expense. • Of the 10 units, the developer is required to reserve two apartments, two townhomes and one carriage home for residents with 80% area median income. The remaining five must meet the income requirement, but the type of unit rented is at the developer’s discretion, which provides more flexibility to meet demand. • The 10 units must remain affordable for the term of the tax abatement, which is 20 years. • Beginning in 2024, the developer will receive a tax abatement of $39,000 paid semiannually for 20 years. No interest or inflation is attached to the tax abatement note. The total tax abatement totals $780,000.

Tom Gaffy, of Shoreview, was the only resident present during the public hearing at the Sept. 20 council meeting. He said he didn't understand the tax abatement process and asked how it worked. He also questioned who would cover the taxes for the project. Simonson explained tax abatements. “I think sometimes that we assume (because we work for the city) that everyone knows what that means. In this case, the developer is paying the full taxes over the years of this agreement,” Simonson said. “The city would actually collect over $6 billion over this 20-year period, but we reimburse them a certain amount — in this case, $340,000 over that 20-year period — to basically cover the difference between market-rate housing for those units that we've identified for affordable housing.” Following the public hearing, the council voted unanimously to approve the resolution to amend the tax abatement agreement. The next Shoreview City Council meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 4, in council chambers at City Hall, 4600 Victoria St. N., in Shoreview.

Mounds View kicks off with strong student support programs BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER

Mounds View Public Schools welcomed back 11,312 students for the 2021-22 school year, according to Mounds View School Board Chair Jonathan Weinhagen. Jen Lodin, executive director of student support and engagement, provided an update during the last school board meeting on how students are being supported upon their return to school. “As we all know, (over) the last year and a half people have experienced this global pandemic in different ways, and as our team worked over the summer to think about what supports in our system will look like, we know it's not going to be a one-size-fits-all support,” Lodin said. Lodin gave an overview at the Sept. 21 meeting on what the student services department has been working on since last spring as a team. She said there are mental health services provided at each school building. The student services department hired two mental health specialists this summer — Carla Anton and Julia Geigle — and a chemical health specialist, John Norwood. People can get contact information for these individuals on the website at www.

moundsviewschools.org/Page/4037. According to Lodin, Kognito training will be available for educators again this school year. Kognito training is an web-based interactive scenario-based mental health and suicide prevention training available through a partnership with the Minnesota Department of Health. The training helps educators recognize, respond to and help students who are in mental distress. “Last year our educators in our system took very seriously the Kognito training that we provided,” she said. “We had a very high rate of our educators that participated in that (over 90% of staff), and they provided really great feedback on why it was purposeful for them and the things that they learned.” She noted that the Minnesota Department of Health named Mounds View School District a “champion district” because “we implemented the Kognito training program across schools and provided support for staff.” Lodin also commented that the Minnesota Department of Health created a student version of Kognito called “Friend to Friend” for middle and high school students. “We will be working to implement that this year, and we're pretty excited to have the opportunity to do that,” she said.

According to Lodin, the Mounds View School District was awarded a Change to Chill partnership for the 2021-22 school year. The partnership offers students, staff and program participants an escape from their busy days and daily stressors with a designated space for them to hang out, chill and recenter themselves. A chill zone creates an area for anyone to take a moment to practice mindfulness, self-awareness, connection and relaxation. Lodin said student support services will also continue the Empower Youth program, a social and emotional online learning tool. “It really helps support students over 18 weeks; it's kind of like a course that students can participate in, and it's really there to help develop and connect those social and emotional learning tools around whatever their goals or challenges are,” Lodin said. “And they receive coaching from a licensed mental health professional.” According to Lodin, students, teachers and staff are excited to be back together again in school five days a week. The student services department will have engaging opportunities for students and will continue to monitor students' needs throughout the school year. “We will continue to work with parents, caregivers, communities

and students to best understand what those needs will look like,” Lodin said.

Other board news: • Executive Director of Administrative Services Bernice Humnick reviewed proposed property tax levies to be certified to the county. Proposed levies for school districts carry the option of levying the "maximum," which means the Minnesota Department of Education calculates a district's allowable levy limit(s) that are set by state statute or voter approval. The board approved the recommendation to certify the proposed property taxes as "maximum" for the payable 2022 tax levy. • Superintendent Lennox gave a report regarding celebration events in the Mounds View Public Schools building now that construction is complete. A video highlighting the completed spaces can be viewed at https://bit. ly/3kA3gml. The next Mounds View School Board meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 12, at the District Center, 4570 Victoria St. N. in Shoreview. Noelle Olson is a staff writer for Press Publications.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff's Office reported the following selected incidents in Shoreview: • A Roseville man reported the catalytic converter stolen from his Mazda B3000 during the afternoon of Sept. 4 while it was parked at the Lake Owasso County Park in the 300 block of North Owasso Blvd. • A resident in the 500 block of County Road J reported the weatherstripping on her vehicle damaged overnight Sept. 4-5. She also noticed small dents on the frame of the driver's door. No entry was made to the vehicle, however. • A Brooklyn Park man, 23, was arrested at 12:23 a.m. Sept. 6 on Rice Street and I-694 following a one-mile vehicle pursuit of his motorized minibike. The pursuit was quickly terminated because the subject was traveling the wrong way on I-694. Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies located the suspect a short time later and arrested him. He was booked on a misdemeanor warrant and for felony fleeing police in a motor vehicle. • A Brooklyn Park woman, 35, was arrested for DWI at 4:49 a.m. Sept. 7 in the 1000 block of Red Fox Road after deputies were dispatched to check on a slumper in a parking lot. After the driver failed field sobriety tests with a 0.19 blood alcohol content, she was transported to Regions Hospital, and her dog was taken to St. Paul Animal Control.

• A resident in the 4300 block of Chatsworth Street N. on Sept. 7 reported sharing photos with a female from a dating site and subsequently being threatened with blackmail. No money was sent.

• A resident in the 3900 block of Gramsie Court reported seeing her neighbor's ex knocking at his ex's front door at 10:40 p.m. Sept. 9 while the respondent of the restraining order was away from home.

• The Freedom Valu Center in the 5900 block of Hodgson Road on Sept. 7 reported money stolen from the business. The case is under investigation.

• A Keep Our Police Safe (KOPS) alert was issued following an order for protection (OFP) violation accompanied by terroristic threats Sept. 8 in the 5000 block of Hodgson Road. A Minneapolis man, 40, was cited Sept. 9 in the 5000 block of Hodgon Road for violating an OFP through his multiple phone and e-mail contacts with the victim. The case has been forwarded to the city attorney for charging. New OFP violations were reported Sept. 10 at the Hodgson Road address, all related to previous cases. Deputies were dispatched out to the same address on Sept. 11 for yet more OFP violations. Another KOPS alert was issued.

• A resident in the 4400 block of Snail Lake Blvd. on Sept. 8 reported an unauthorized charge on her debit card while it was still in her possession. The bank required a case number for its report. • A set of license plates was reported stolen Sept. 8 from the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue N. and used in a gas drive-off, after the victim was notified by the New Brighton Police Department of the drive-off. The plates have been entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database. • A St. Paul man, 21, was arrested at 7:58 a.m. Sept. 9 in the 3500 block of Owasso Street for domestic assault after an argument led him to push the victim into a shelving unit and injure her leg. • A resident in the 1600 block of Terrace Drive on Sept. 9 reported a suspicious note written by an unknown person stuck in her door.

• Residents in the 400 block of Harriet Avenue on Sept. 12 reported being harassed by someone the husband had met on a dating website. That unknown person began threatening the entire family if they didn't come up with $1,500 in gift cards. No money was sent, and a police report was fi led instead. • A Champlin man, 37, was arrested on multiple active warrants out of Ramsey and Wright counties Sept. 11 in the 4100 block of Lexington Avenue N.

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF BRIEFS Going wrong way on Interstate somehow never ends well A Brooklyn Park man, 23, thought he could escape legal trouble just after midnight Sept. 6 by fleeing Ramsey County Sheriff's Office deputies on his mini motorbike. And he thought he could ditch pursuing deputies by fleeing the wrong way down I-694. The suspect did momentarily escape deputies, but other deputies spotted

his minibike still traveling west in the eastbound lanes of the freeway. The play-by-play report from those deputies over dispatch of the suspect approaching the Victoria Street exit quickly brought the capture squads to the scene. After deputies heard about the suspect throwing his minibike over a fence to enter Island Lake Park, they immediately positioned their squads on the park walking path.

There they observed a male fitting the description of the suspect walking his motorized minibike on the path and arrested him. It all started when deputies observed a blinking red light on a vehicle northbound on Rice Street in Little Canada without a license plate. Instead of pulling over, the subject accelerated. The defendant told deputies he fled because he was "tired of being f---ed

with," and that he fled the wrong way "so that they would stop pursuing me." For leading RCSO deputies on a dangerous midnight chase through Little Canada and Shoreview, the suspect faces up to three years in prison and/or a maximum fine of $5,000 for felony fleeing a police officer in a motor vehicle.

Ramsey County deputies assist Mounds View police at felony domestic assault: Suspect fires at law enforcement RAMSEY COUNTY — On Wednesday, September 22 at approximately 10:40 a.m., Ramsey County Sheriff’s deputies assisted the Mounds View Police Department at a felony domestic assault that involved the discharge of a fi rearm at AmericInn by Wyndham, in the 2200 block of Mounds View Boulevard. Shortly thereafter, a witness reported seeing the suspect in the area of the Mermaid Bar & Grill. Upon arrival, law enforcement ensured the victim of domestic violence was safe and obtained information about the suspect’s description. As officers and deputies located the suspect in the area of the 5200

block Pinewood Court, the suspect raised a handgun and fi red at the approaching squads, striking a Mounds View police officer’s squad car just above the driver’s side windshield and a Ramsey County deputy’s squad just below the driver’s side windshield, narrowly missing both officers. Fearing for his life and the life of others, the deputy who was fi red upon used his vehicle to stop the threat. Following the suspect being struck, officers and deputies immediately began rendering fi rst aid and requested emergency medical services. The suspect was transported to the Hennepin County Medical Center. A cocked handgun was recovered at the

scene. The Mounds View Police Department and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting criminal investigations into the domestic assault and two attempted homicides of peace officers. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension will investigate the officer-involved use of force incident. The identity of the suspect will be released by the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.

Mustangs top Edina for first time in decades of trying BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Mounds View tennis achieved a milestone victory last Wednesday, beating 37-time state champion Edina for the fi rst time ever, 4-3. “We have been playing Edina since our program started in the 1970’s,” said coach Scott Sundstrom, elated to fi nally beat the Hornets. Several losses to Edina have come in state tournaments. The Mustangs swept the doubles points, and won at No. 1 singles with Katerina Smiricinschi tripping Sami Hankinson 7-6 (5), 6-2. Mounds View’s normal No. 1 player, Molly Austin, was shifted to No. 1 doubles because she was not feeling well, Sundstrom said. Austin teamed with Emily Aman to win 6-3, 6-3. Shae Crocharell and Amanda Diao won 6-1, 6-0 at No. 2. Avery Schifsky and Emma Sun won 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 at No. 3. In the other singles matches, Rory Wahlstrand, Annabelle Huang and Isabella Myrland lost in straight sets. Mounds View is 10-1, losing only to top-ranked Minnetonka 7-0. Edina is 8-4, with two losses to Minnetonka, 7-0 and 5-2, and one to Rochester Mayo 4-3. Bruce Strand is a sports contributing writer for Press Publications.

Football: Mustangs trip Rangers after close defeat at White Bear The Mounds View Mustangs, continuing to show a vibrant passing game, hold a 2-2 record after a last-minute, 26-20 loss to White Bear Lake and a 2313 win over Forest Lake in the last two weeks. The Mustangs go on the road the next two Fridays to play Anoka and Roseville Area.

at the start and end of the game but controlled the action in between to defeat the Rangers. Sam Hinrichs, a junior in his fi rst game as the featured running back, carried 25 times for 81 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown in the fi rst quarter that tied the score 7-7.

“We are dealing with some injuries at that position,” Moberg said. “Sam stepped in and played awesome. He is a tough kid and we look forward to seeing him grow over the next month.” Wark fi red touchdown passes to Nystrom from 18 yards in the third quarter and to Wheeler from six yards in the fourth quarter. Wark completed 11 of 18 passes for 134 yards, with one interception. Nystrom caught five for 102 yards and Wheeler four for 27. “Our offensive line played great, opening up some lanes for Hinrichs. They also did not allow any sacks on Owen,” Moberg said. Nystrom, a sophomore, “has a knack for attacking the ball and making big plays.” Ben Samuel booted a 22-yard field goal and two conversions. Andrew Molenaar gained 26 yards in his lone carry as the Mustangs totaled 108 yards on the ground. For Forest Lake (0-4), Ryan Olson hit Cole Brisbois for a 62-yard TD just 1:31 into the game, and found Jake Deep for a 57-yard score with 2:39 left. Olson was 13-for-21 for 207 yards. The Rangers were held to 67 rushing yards on 33 attempts. “Defensively, we played tough despite two huge TD’s,” Moberg said.

Owen Wark passed for 305 yards and three touchdowns but it was not quite enough as White Bear Lake beat the Mustangs 26-20 on a touchdown with 17 seconds left. The Mustangs had Wark drop back on 38 of 44 plays from scrimmage (he was sacked once) and he completed 20 of 37 with no interceptions. Tyler Nystrom caught 10 passes for 145 yards and Dylan Wheeler six for 72. “Awesome atmosphere and ball game,” coach Aaron Moberg said. “Both teams left it all on the field … Owen stepped up and made some huge throws. Our offensive line did a great job of keeping the pocket clean.” Wark hit Nystrom for 47 yards on their fi rst play. That drive stalled, but moments later, Wark went deep again with a perfect strike to Hunter Rask for a 71-yard touchdown. Next drive, he hit Nystrom for a 27-yard gain and found Wheeler for an eight-yard touchdown. The Mustangs led 14-0 but the Bears scored the next three touchdowns — a 59-yard pass from Connor Jerrell to Alex Lockwood, three-yard run by Anthony Lewis-Royal, and 19-yard run by Rayshaun Brakes. Down 20-14, the Mustangs pulled even as Nystrom caught a 13-yard TD pass from Wark in the fourth quarter, alertly snagging the ball off the grasstops after a Bear defender tipped it away. They missed the PAT kick, however. Wark barely missed on third-and fourth-down passes to the end zone from the 33-yard line with the score 20-20, and the Bears marched 67 yards, capped by Brakes’ nine-yard touchdown with 17 seconds left.

Boys soccer: Mustangs lead SEC, powered by a shut-down defense The Mounds View Mustangs have allowed just one goal in its last six games while taking the early lead in the Suburban East Conference, The Mustangs (7-2 overall) whitewashed Mahtomedi 2-0, East Ridge 1-0, and Irondale 4-0 last week. Their six-game win streak started with conquests of White Bear Lake 6-0, Forest Lake 6-1 and Cretin-Derham Hall 3-0. Mahtomedi is 9-2, East Ridge is 6-1-3, and White Bear Lake is 5-2-2 and is the only team to beat Stillwater, so those are especially impressive wins. Through last week’s games, Mounds View is 5-0 in the Suburban East Conference, followed by Stillwater 3-1-1, and East Ridge, White Bear Lake and Woodbury, all 2-1-2. About the Mustangs’ stout defense, coach Joe Warren said, “Getting our defensive shape behind the ball when the opposing team is in possession is our number one priority. The team has been doing a really nice job of quickly transitioning to defense and hunting the ball down to win it back as soon as possible.” Foster Conlin, senior co-captain, leads that defensive corps: “He is a vocal and physical presence in the back, reading the play and limiting scoring chances by opposing teams.” Joseph Sw llen, another senior captain, is the offensive spark, displaying “a superb fi rst touch, ability to evade defenders, and connect passes consistently.” Other offensive threats are seniors Henry Elias, Sam Hoyt, and Simon Green.

What are your top three priorities for the school district?

If elected, how would you involve the public in making major decisions?

What are your thoughts on the ongoing equity conversation?

In no particular order; mental health, equity, college and career readiness. These are all topics that have been priorities for our school district and will continue to be priorities moving forward. As we bring students back into our building these topics will be more important than ever. It will be imperative that we are providing students with a high-quality education while meeting both academic and social/ emotional needs.

As we have done in the past with major decisions, I would invite the public to attend informational question and answer sessions. Additionally, the public is always welcome to attend a School Board meeting.

My beliefs are very much aligned with the district equity promise which states; we choose college, a trade school, technical college, the military or employment. As a parent, committed to preparing all students for opportunities of their choice after high school, whether they educator and board member I believe it is my obligation to give all students what the need to be successful.

As I run for school board, I am focused on the student’s overall experience. As students return to the classroom, I am committed to ensuring the district provides the necessary academic, physical, and social emotional supports that our students need. Student mental health has been a priority and will continue to be a priority for the district. This is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. Getting students back into in-person learning is so key. Not only from a mental health and social emotional perspective but, getting them back into pre-pandemic quality education. As a board incumbent, I can help guide the schools back to where we were and have been for some time. Same high expectations while providing the necessary personalized supports that students need to reach their highest potentials.

What I have been doing and will continue to do. Working hard to be out and about in the public hearing from our students, parents, and our community members. Attending school activities, sporting events and larger community events. For initiatives that come before the board, encourage people to attend board meetings, hold information sessions where people can voice concerns & ask questions and ensure everyone has the necessary information to make an informed decision. If the decision included a public vote, I would encourage folks to get out and vote.

I think it is a critical conversation that needs to continue especially with our evolving times. We need to work together to ensure that the Equity Promise is realized for each student in our district. Race, gender, disability, and neighborhoods will not be a factor in a student’s success. The Board and Administration need to continue to advocate for our students and provide the opportunities for them to succeed.

1. Protect parental rights. 2. Maintain high academic standards. 3. Nurture unity. One of the greatest threats to our nation and community in this crazy moment in history is division. I firmly believe that unity is our greatest strength. We must be our neighbor’s advocate, not their adversary. If elected, I will listen respectfully, as well as voice my opinion. I will practice and encourage perspective-taking and seek win-win solutions. I will vote for curriculum and practices which promote unity not division.

Mounds View does a fabulous job of keeping parents informed and nurturing connectedness within the schools and with the community. I, myself, have been a “Special Friend” on Grandparents’ Day, and YES, they earned my full support! I was notably impressed! On its website, Mounds View District makes it clear that it values good communication and transparency with parents and the community, and that they embrace a shared decision-making process which includes parents and the community. If elected, I will act and vote in ways which protect these values. I will listen as well as voice my opinion. I will protect parent’s rights and be an advocate for them as well as the community.

Fairness, equal opportunity, social awareness, inclusion, aid for at-risk students – YES! We are fortunate that our district still teaches our children HOW to think. We must guard against curriculums which focus on teaching them WHAT to think. We must also guard against lowering academic standards to achieve standardization. Equity means equal outcome. Yet, I’ll never be able to sing as well as my brother, no matter how many singing lessons I take. Equal outcome is blind to the uniqueness of each child and reduces them to being a labeled and standardized product defined by the subgroups to which they belong (ie: race, religion, gender, and sexual preference). I view critical race theory as a social experiment which has not achieved intended outcomes and further inflames division in an already fractured society. I oppose any curriculum or policy rooted in CRT. Let us consider alternative solutions.

1. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion – I believe MVPS should be a place where ALL students, teachers and staff can bring their authentic selves to our district and be celebrated for their unique and diverse perspectives. We need to continue our work with DE&I initiatives to be sure all students receive an equal opportunity to achieve success toward their individual goals. 2. Health & Safety – I believe we need proactive solutions and comprehensive plans that address the health and safety of our students, teachers and staff. This includes mental health, COVID-19 and other health or safety concerns we may face in the future. 3. Fiscal Responsibility – I believe we need to spend conservatively, stay within budget and put students first when making budgetary decisions.

Before I would make any major decision, I would proactively reach out to a diverse group of community members to understand how a decision either way would impact district students, parents, teachers, and staff. I would understand their feelings about the issue and what the impact of the decision would be on our district’s families, students, teachers and staff. I would listen attentively to all, ask questions, do research to fully understand pros and cons and then make the decision. This process has worked well in both my personal and professional life to ensure the best decision is made for those impacted and involved.

I joined Mounds View Public School’s District Equity Committee because I fully support our initiatives around equity and believe we still have some work to do in order for our district to truly be one that is inclusive for all. I believe that every student deserves the opportunity to receive an excellent education, regardless of race, class, gender, religion, orientation or disability. All students in our district should be afforded the opportunity to succeed toward their individual goals. And every student, teacher and staff member should be able to bring their authentic self to our schools and be celebrated for the diversity they bring to the district.

What are your top three priorities for the school district?

If elected, how would you involve the public in making major decisions?

What are your thoughts on the ongoing equity conversation?

1. Proactive leadership on student/ staff health and safety with clear, transparent planning for how the district will continue to mitigate COVID-19 and prepare for potential future pandemics and other crises. This area includes the importance of green, carbon neutral schools, as the climate crisis will have a profound effect on student physical and mental health that our schools must prepare for. 2. A commitment to true equity in the district. Schools should be welcoming and inclusive atmospheres that foster learning for everyone. Success in our district should not depend on which school you attend, your ethnicity, your gender identification, or your individual educational needs. 3. Re-centering students. Whether it is a lack of COVID-19 preparedness or MVHS beginning the school year with registration confusion and ballooning class sizes, it’s clear that the district needs to adjust its vision back to prioritizing the student experience.

I will be an accessible and transparent member of the board. If constituents want to know my position on an issue they only need ask. I will advocate for public votes on as many issues as possible so that board members remain transparent and accountable for their decisions.

Equity needs to be a central focus of all board decisions. Equity in education is the foundational belief that everyone should be provided the resources that fit their circumstances. Studies show that schools with the smallest achievement gaps between demographics also have the highest test scores overall. While testing is an imperfect metric to gauge success by, this does demonstrate that when we help raise up disadvantage students, more privileged students tend to benefit too. We need people on the board who can stand firm against bad faith actors who attempt to argue equity is something that it’s not.

All of my priorities can be found at jonvanoeveren.com. 1. Safe Schools. Students learn best when they are in the classroom. We must protect our youngest so they can stay healthy and participate in-person. Like many, I do not like wearing masks. However, we now know that mask wearing keeps both students and teachers safe. We must uphold and enforce the district mask mandate until all our children can be vaccinated. 2. Student Mental Health. After the last two years of social, economic, and political insecurity, many students and families are struggling with mental health needs unmet by our current healthcare system. Schools must fill this gap. For students to be successful in school, it is essential that the whole child is supported. That means breaking down the often invisible barriers of mental health and providing services that meet our students’ needs. 3. Green Schools. The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report has made clear that it’s now-or-never to address climate change. We cannot give our students a world class education while leaving them with a broken world. We need to do our part by becoming a carbon neutral district by 2030.

If elected, I will continue organizing families in our community to help make our priorities a reality. I am committed to two-way communication. I will listen to our PTAs while also realizing that not all families have the time and resources to participate. I will seek those unheard voices by reaching out to them rather than waiting for them to reach out to me. I am committed to open, transparent, and democratic decision making with families and students at its center.

Equity needs to move beyond conversations into material action— true equity. I am committed to a welcoming multiracial, multi-gendered, and differently abled district. Our curriculum must reflect accurate and inclusive materials. We must also make all aspects of school life and education accessible to each student’s needs.

Emily, installed a drain to catch rainwater and infi ltrate it into the ground, and installed dry creek beds and rain gardens to help with infi ltration. • Claire and Jim Graupmann: Had a problem getting turf grass to grow in sunny parts of their yard and worked with the Rice Creek Watershed District to plant multiple pollinator gardens to increase habitat and minimize turf grass. • Julie and Justin Yarrington: Worked with the Rice Creek Watershed District to manage an overly sunny south-facing slope on their property. They planted a large pollinator garden across the whole area from seed in order to reduce

the turf grass. The project is in year two, and native plants have started to flower after getting established.

Shoreview Citizen Academy recognition The Shoreview Citizen's Academy is a six-week program that covers all aspects of local government and how the city of Shoreview operates compared to other communities. Nineteen people participated in the class of 2021. According to City Manager Terry Schwerm, the academy covers administration and finance; the Ramsey County Sheriff's Department and the Lake Johanna Fire Department; parks and recreation; community development and public

works. “We try and make it fun and interactive for people while learning about the city,” Schwerm said. It was an excellent demographic mix, he noted, “both in people where they live in the community as well as different ages.” Mayor Sandy Martin said at the Sept. 20 meeting that the Citizen's Academy is successful because of Schwerm. “It's not just because he runs the Citizen's Academy, but because of the way that he runs the city, the way he handles management issues and the style he's had for the 28 years he's been with us here in the city,” Martin said. The mayor said that with Schwerm's

upcoming retirement, she wants the public to know that the City Council takes the responsibility of finding a new city manager very seriously. “We have some very excellent candidates, and we're going to be starting interviews soon,” Martin said. “But I just want people to know that we know what we had, and we know what we're looking for.” She also said members of the City Council hope to have a decision on the city manager position by midOctober. Noelle Olson is a staff writer for Press Publications. She can be reached at shoreviewnews@presspubs.com or 651-407-1229.

UNVEILING OF FRIENDSHIP GARDEN STATUE

The Shoreview Community Foundation hosted a reception to open the Friendship Garden at Shoreview Commons this week. The statue, pergola, and dedicated bricks are located near the pond and fountain behind city hall.

You have the right to know what’s happening in your community.

Public notices – information local governments are obligated to provide citizens – are required to be published in local newspapers to provide a public record that’s accessible to everyone.

PET MEMORIAL The death of your beloved pet leaves a heartache no one can heal. Their love leaves a memory you immortalize forever by publishing a special tribute as an Obituary or in Memoriam. Share your cherished thoughts so they live on forever.

Public notices keep you informed about your government. But, in some states legislators are trying to keep public notices from appearing in local newspapers. This severely impacts government transparency and, in turn, limits the public’s right to hold them accountable for their actions.

$25

Let your state legislators know that you value being able to access notices in your newspaper and that they are worth the investment.
