Deluxe Corporation leaving Shoreview
City boosts environmental stewards with Green Community Awards BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR
BY ELIZABETH CALLEN EDITOR
After more than 30 years in Shoreview, Deluxe Corporation is leaving the city. The Fortune 1000 company announced plans to relocate its headquarters to downtown Minneapolis in fall 2021 after construction of its new facility is complete. President and CEO Barry McCarthy said that the move follows the company’s growth from check printing to a wider array of small business financial services. “As we have transformed into a Trusted Business Solutions company the last two years, we explored all options across the country for our future headquarters, including Shoreview,” McCarthy said. “The Minneapolis location gives us the best opportunity to grow as a company and continue to attract new talent in a downtown location.” Mayor Sandy Martin said in a statement that the city was disappointed by Deluxe’s move from Shoreview. “Deluxe and Shoreview have shared a unique and close bond over the years, fi rst when the company moved to our community as Deluxe Check Printers, and later when we financially assisted with their acquisition and development of the current headquarters campus,” Martin said. “The city was again prepared to partner with Deluxe by offering our full support and strong commitment to providing fi nancial incentives to facilitate reinvestment and growth at their Shoreview campus. Unfortunately, their leadership and board of directors have decided the company’s future is best suited elsewhere.” A developer has bought the Shoreview campus, located at 3680 N. Victoria St., which Deluxe will lease back for the next year, according to McCarthy. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, most employees are working from home.

Pratt said that when Environmental Quality Committee members visited the home, there were “tons of pollinators,” particularly butterfl ies and bumblebees. The city of Shoreview also received an

Mayor Sandy Martin likewise thanked Pratt and other members of the Environmental Quality Committee for their time and efforts. “The Environmental Quality Committee has persisted throughout COVID and everything else in making these awards still an important part,” she said. “I think especially right now where so many people are staying home and doing yard projects … and solar projects, it's really great to bring attention to these successful projects.”

Each year, Shoreview's Environmental Quality Committee hosts the Green Community Awards, which recognize residential, nonprofit and commercial property owners for their commitment to the environment. The annual awards, which are given in three categories—water, energy and general— are typically presented at a City Council meeting. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year's winners were recognized through Zoom during the Sept. 21 council meeting with less of the typical fanfare, but with no less gratitude, noted Environmental Quality Committee Chairman Tim Pratt. “We like to recognize folks who are taking steps to reduce their environmental impact,” said Pratt, who announced the 2020 Green Community Award winners. “This year, it's so pleasurable because the purpose of this was not only to recognize folks who are taking these steps, but to encourage others to follow in their footsteps.” Diane and Paul Close were recognized for landscaping their yard with drought-tolerant plants as a means of conserving water and creating a pollinator garden in their front and back yards. They also planted a buffer along the base on the slope on their property to slow water runoff onto the street, increase infi ltration and prevent erosion. Christine and John Hoffman were

CITY BRIEF
Shoreview Community Foundation cancels 2020 Evening with Friends
Mounds View YMCA opens distance learning space
Due to the public health restrictions during COVID-19 on large indoor gatherings, the Shoreview Community Foundation regrets to announce that the 2020 Evening With Friends scheduled for Nov. 10 at the Community Center has been canceled. The annual event is the main fundraiser for the foundation, supporting the grants awarded every year to “maintain, enhance and enrich the quality of life in Shoreview by connecting the generosity of people with the evolving needs of the community.� This year, the Shoreview Community Foundation provided grants totaling $32,800, a record high. Those grants funded the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf, Northeast Youth and Family Services, Shoreview Park and Recreation, Shoreview YMCA and, in response to COVID-19, the Suburban Ramsey Family Collaborative. Additionally, the SCF has taken a lead role with the Suburban Ramsey COVID-19 Response Fund, a group of nonprofits, service organizations and local foundations that seek and provide emergency funding for local needs. Addressing housing instability and food insecurity caused by the pandemic for our impacted neighbors has been the priority of this campaign. Even though it cannot hold an Evening With Friends in-person, the foundation hopes community members will consider making a financial contribution not only to continue to enrich the life of Shoreview, but also to help meet the extra challenges faced by community members during the pandemic. Please donate today by going to shoreviewcommunityfoundation.org, or by sending your check to the Shoreview Community Foundation c/o Carol Brown Mills, 5845 St. Albans Court, Shoreview, MN 55126. It is the foundation's sincere hope to be able to welcome donors back to an Evening with Friends in 2021.
As school districts offer various in-person and distance learning models, 19 area YMCAs, including the Mounds View facility, will offer programming during school hours to provide children a space where they can attend virtual classes while supervised by Y staff. The Mounds View YMCA is offering flexible and enriching programs for youth, while also providing essential child care to those parents who need to return to work. The Y works with each family based on their school district’s distance or in-person/distance learning model to ensure their children have consistent and convenient care to help kids stay connected, engaged and on track throughout the day. Children attending the program will use computers/tablets provided by their school. Outside of distance learning, the Y will also provide arts and STEM activities, physical activity and outdoor education. Financial assistance is available to ensure every child and teen has the opportunity to learn and grow at the Y. In order to help keep children and staff healthy and safe throughout the school year, the YMCA follows state and local requirements and guidance of medical experts in its day-today operations including: • Daily health screenings for children and staff • Reduced capacity in group activities • Staggered mealtimes to reduce crowds • Snack time served in “podsâ€? • Cleaning, handwashing and social distancing protocols that meet Department of Health standards For more information and to sign up for the Y’s virtual learning program, visit ymcanorth. org/schoolagecare or contact customer service online at ymcamnorth.org/contact_us.

Inside the newsroom
M
uch of 2020 has been interesting to say the least for most industries, but that is especially true in the newspaper business. At the beginning of the pandemic, I was worried there would be nothing to fi ll our papers each week. Schools were closed down, sports were not happening, events and city festivals were canceled, churches were not offering services and new businesses were not opening. In the newsroom, we had to shift our mindset and start thinking Out & about other stories we About could offer our readers. We had to fi nd a balance Shannon between too much COVID-19 news and Granholm not enough. We didn’t want to pretend that we weren’t in the middle of a pandemic, but we also wanted our products to offer an escape from the traditional news you hear and read about every day. Throughout the pandemic, we have shared many positive stories about drive-by parades, community members making masks, organizations and individuals giving back to their communities and ways businesses are adapting to serve customers. We have also had to be the bearer of bad news when it comes to deaths, businesses closing down and events being canceled. Almost all of our interviews in the newsroom are now done by phone, our meetings via Zoom and city meetings are watched online. About half of our time is spent working in the newsroom and the other half at home. I really miss running into people out and about, taking photos at city festivals and events and sitting down to do in-person interviews with people in their homes or at coffee shops and restaurants. For the past several months, I have had no problem fi nding stories that need to be told. The one thing I am struggling with is fi nding photo opportunities. A lot of the photos we take usually come from events, most of which are not happening, and within the schools, many of which have no visitor policies right now. Do you have any photo ideas? Keep in mind although we love nature photography, we also love to have people in our photos. If you have idea story ideas or know of something that may make for a great photo, as always, please email us at news@presspubs.com. Feel free to submit your photos for our Spotted Around Town section too. Despite the challenges we, and newsrooms across the nation are facing, I am so grateful that our papers continue to come out every week and that we have support from the communities we cover. As we enter our fall subscription campaign, please consider supporting your local newspaper by becoming a subscriber. We need your support now more than ever.

Stop Minnesota deaths: Suicide warning signs and prevention
ccording to Minnesota Department of Health statistics, suicide rates, have steadily increased by 53% for the past two decades. Experts say that this may be the result of the challenges people face when accessing mental health support. Stigma against mental illness and shortages of available health providers can make it tough for Minnesotans to Movers & get the help they need when the Shakers causes of suicide in. These same Noelle Rivard set experts say that by recognizing the warning signs and working through the challenges that lead up to these deaths, all Minnesotans can have a role in lowering the rates suicide. Movers & ofMany situations can trigger Shakers thoughts of suicide. Krista Experts have found Steinbeisser that there are certain common warning signs that raise concern
break that is 5-10-minutes long and can be done throughout the day to relax and recharge. A third activity is getting involved in community groups, like doing activities at church or having game nights with family and friends. A final activity is to simply talk with a friend or family member. Though these activities may feel awkward and new to do, they have been proven to help a person feel in control of their life again. This is a feeling that experts say can help prevent suicide. Suicide is a preventable action. Learning about the warning signs of suicide and preventive activities is just a start to doing something about Minnesota’s rising suicide rates. If someone is experiencing thoughts of suicide, call CRISIS (274747), the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Dial 1-800-273-8255), or 911 to get support right away.

and show that a person may be considering suicide as an option. One sign is to talk about feeling trapped, feeling alone, or that someone feels they are weighing others down. Other warning signs are irritability, changing sleep patterns — both not sleeping or sleeping too much — and using more alcohol or drugs. If these signs are seen in friends, family members, or in the workplace, experts say that it is important to directly ask the person if they are planning to kill themselves. It’s now a well-known myth that asking these questions will cause a person to take their life. Instead, asking these questions can save lives. If a person talks about wanting to die, not having a reason to live, or is looking for a way to kill themselves, get immediate help from law enforcement or other emergency personnel without hesitation. Understanding common situations that trigger thoughts of suicide can also lead to better understanding the signs of suicide. Scientists know that stress can trigger the brain to think that the best option to handle difficult situations and feelings is to end one’s life. Decreasing stress may help control these thoughts by doing activities such as short walks down a quiet country road, in the pasture, or in the town park. Another activity is taking a “brain break,” a

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Unorthodox behavior by our political leaders (falsehoods, fighting, finger-pointing) with subsequent civil unrest, rage and distrust are the makings of a great novel but have become the reality of this election cycle. One might think I’m referring to the national scene, but unfortunately this letter is about our own “Mayberry RFD.” I typically don’t pay much attention to local government but felt pressured to do so lately by uninvited intrusions into my personal privacy. Thanks to transparency in government (published minutes), it wasn’t hard for me to find out the “talk of the town.” Regardless of who you support and your rationale for believing so, a common theme from all is that change is needed. Indeed, change for our city government is coming, as most of the council members terms are expiring. In addition, I can’t help but notice parallels that exist between our national and local politics. One that stands out for me is that the national election can be viewed as a referendum on one man, and by running for mayor, Ms. Ries has basically turned our city election into a referendum on her. The difference is that should she lose the election, she will still be on the council for the next two years. I have no reason to believe anyone on the council is a bad egg. To borrow a phrase, there are good people on both sides … and while that may sound a little tongue-incheek, I mean that sincerely. Even good, well-intentioned people fall short sometimes, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t good people. However, I agree with the consensus that a fresh start is needed. We need representatives that are smart and remain ethical, civil, honest and transparent to lead us forward. Ms. Ries has put herself in the spotlight. Whether or not she wins the election, I wish her the best; however, if she loses the election, I think she should listen to the wind and resign from the council. This would be in the best interest of our city should the vote not go in her direction. Ford Erickson North Oaks
PAID LETTER Reelect Sue Denkinger to Shoreview City Council I am writing this letter to indicate my support to reelect Sue Denkinger to serve on the Shoreview City Council. I personally have served with Sue on the Shoreview Economic Development Authority since 2016. It is apparent that Sue’s experiences from her career at Thomson Reuters, volunteering and her longtime residency in Shoreview have given her the right tools to serve on our City Council. Sue brings insight, passion and expertise to the many items we address in the EDA including affordable housing, business retention and new development. From time to time there are events that the EDA, EDC and City Council attend to welcome a new business or participate in a ribbon-cutting. At some of those events, Sue has spoken on behalf of Mayor Martin and provided reliable and informative updates representing our city and council with the highest integrity. Please join me in reelecting Sue Denkinger to serve our city for four more years. Shelly Myrland Shoreview
PAID LETTER Vote for Chamberlain, Raleigh, Schwanke, Sina and Finney The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association represents Minnesota’s public safety officers, including police, corrections officials, dispatchers and fi refighters. We’re writing to urge your support and vote for Sen. Roger Chamberlain, Donald Raleigh for House, Ben Schwanke for Senate, Candy Sina for House and Sue Finney for House in the general election on Nov. 3. The MPPOA wholeheartedly endorses them because they are exceptional advocates for the area. All are strong supporters of our first responders and public safety officials. They stand against attempts to defund and dismantle the police, and they promote public safety legislation that keeps communities safe. Please join us in supporting Sen. Chamberlain, Raleigh, Schwanke, Sina and Finney in the general election on Nov. 3. Brian Peters Executive Director, Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association
feel heard in their work. Many educators leave the profession early due to lack of autonomy and respect. I felt heard over the first cup of coffee with Kelly. I continue to feel that way today. Kelly knows our schools. If there is a topic or idea that is unfamiliar, she does her research and seeks understanding. I want fully funded, racially just schools. That is why I am voting for Kelly Moller. I hope you will join me in sending her back to the Legislature. Denise Specht Shoreview
PAID LETTER Comparing and contrasting District 42 candidates The purpose of this letter is to compare and contrast the two candidates running to represent District 42 in the Minnesota Senate: Sen. Jason Isaacson and Ben Schwanke. Both are honorable people. Both are teachers and deserve our thanks. Both are members of Education Minnesota. Sen. Isaacson is endorsed by Education Minnesota, Mr. Schwanke is not. Sen. Isaacson is a Democrat. Mr. Schwanke is a Republican. Sen. Isaacson has fought hard for our local public schools and for increased public education funding. Unfortunately, GOP leader Sen. Gazelka and the Republicans want to take our tax dollars and give some to private schools (MinnPost 3/20/19). Without warning or discussion, the GOP-controlled Senate fired the leader of the state agency designated to ensure workplace safety — especially from COVID-19 (MPR 8/12/20). Sen. Isaacson voted to retain that agency head to keep workers safe and to maintain proper oversight on businesses. Sen. Isaacson has fought for health care for all Minnesotans, including coverage for preexisting conditions. While Ben Schwanke says he wants that too, Republicans are in court right now fighting to take away that right from all Minnesotans (CBPP 8/21/20). Jason Isaacson is a Protect Minnesota Orange Star Candidate for expressing his support for legislation that will reduce gun violence in Minnesota. Ben Schwanke is not (protectmn.org). In 2012, Mr. Schwanke ran for the Minnesota Senate in District 59 (Minneapolis) and lost. In 2014, he created a campaign committee to run for the Minnesota House in District 60B (Minneapolis) but never fi led to be on the ballot. Now he’s running in our district. In contrast, Sen. Isaacson won his 2012 election to the Minnesota House from our district. He was reelected in 2014, and in 2016 we elected him to the Minnesota Senate. He and his family are firmly rooted in our district. Based on the facts, I’m voting to reelect Sen. Jason Isaacson. Randy Edinger Shoreview
PAID LETTER Vote safely—vote absentee! There is a lot of confusing information in the media about absentee voting. You’d get the impression that our ballots will never get delivered or counted, or that you have to show up at the polls in addition to mailing your ballot. STOP. Here is what you need to know for voting absentee in Minnesota. For the November general election, you may vote as early as Sept. 18. Are you registered or want to check your registration? Head to the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office at mnvotes.org. Use the site to request
an absentee ballot. When you get your ballot, fill it out correctly and mail it back in. In about a week, check that your ballot was received at mnvotes.org, and you’re done! Our volunteer poll workers—who include a lot of seniors who might be at higher risk for the coronavirus—will be less susceptible to infection if fewer people come to the polls in person. No-excuse absentee balloting is reliable, safe and favors neither political party. State Representative Kelly Moller supported common-sense bipartisan election reform this year. Among the reforms was allowing the acceptance of absentee ballots for a few days longer, avoiding schools for polling places if necessary, and allowing health care workers to assist voters who might be “locked in” a hospital or other facility due to the virus (House Journal 8331, 5/9/2020). Thanks to our local state representative Kelly Moller for getting behind this bill! Judy Rohde Shoreview
PAID LETTER Hot tub wisdom For the first time in 20+ years, I’m not running for city office. That’s a BIG CHANGE for me. As many of you know, I’ve been on City Council for the past 12 years, and on Planning Commission and NOHOA before that. It has been an honor to serve you, and I thank you for the opportunity. As I am about to leave public office, I write this letter because I am immensely concerned about the self-interested, not in my back yard, private agenda that has been aggressively pursued and promoted by some vocal opponents for more than 20 months, including four candidates who brought you some election news. Because of them, an aggressive anti-Development, anti-Company, anti-Council sentiment developed early in 2019. They have aligned forces to attempt to convince the City to renege on the East Oaks Planned Development Agreement entered in 1999 by the City with the North Oaks Company. In my view, their actions pose significant potential financial liability for the City. This is a BIG DEAL, and I sincerely urge everyone to take notice. NOW. The opponents have presented days if not weeks of speeches and PowerPoints raising every challenge imaginable to the Development plans, as the Planning Commission and City Council have listened (mostly politely, but sometimes not). The City and Company have together spent (I believe) more than $100,000 chasing the challenges, many without substance. The opponents have exhausted the goodwill that we previously enjoyed with the Company; the Company has complained of inappropriate behavior by councilmember Kara Ries; and she has been admonished by the Council with a vote of no confidence. Again, this is a BIG DEAL. The opponents call themselves civil and respectful, but in truth, they are not, nor are they civic-minded, fiscally responsible, truthful, or transparent. I have invested 28 years living in North Oaks and 22 in City office. It would be extremely disappointing to see the solid work that we’ve accomplished for the community with the Company in carrying out the Hill family’s vision – be reversed, negated, or harmed by the self-interest of this group and those candidates.

After crashing the vehicle, stolen out of Minneapolis, the three occupants fled. Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies apprehended the first two, and the third is still at large. The case was sent to the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office for consideration of charges. • A Mankato man, 23, was arrested on a warrant Sept. 11 at the intersection of County Road I and Aldine Street after deputies investigated a vehicle at the intersection with its flashers on, its airbag deployed and its vehicle identification number covered. • A resident in the 4400 block of Chatsworth Street N. reported a credit card stolen from her unlocked vehicle sometime overnight Sept. 11-12 and used at Cub Foods.

The dog has a history of nipping at people, the law enforcement report noted. • An enclosed trailer containing personal items was reported stolen Sept. 16 from a rear parking lot in the 3300 block of Kent Street.

The serial number came back as not stolen, so the bike was placed into property. • A resident in the 4800 block of Churchill Street reported his unlocked vehicle rummaged through overnight Sept. 17-18 as it was parked in the driveway. The suspect then used the garage door opener to gain access to the victim’s home, from which he stole his wallet and laptop computer. The complainant then received notifications that his bank cards had been used fraudulently. • A hit-and-run incident that started in the drive-thru lane of Five Guys Restaurant in the 1000 block of Red Fox Road at 7:48 p.m. Sept 18 ended up as a road rage incident at a nearby grocery store. A Brooklyn Park woman, 23, was reported as the primary instigator. • A Hutchinson woman, 21, reported her vehicle broken into Sept. 19 as it was parked in the 5900 block of Dellwood Avenue. The rear passenger window had been broken in, and a backpack containing a computer and identification stolen.

Man tries i to force f his hi way into i ex-friend’s f i d’ house h A Plymouth man, 28, faces up to one year imprisonment and/or a maximum fi ne of $3,000 for gross misdemeanor damage to property after he tried to force his way into his ex’s house in the 3400 block of Kent Street in the middle of the night. Shortly after midnight on Sept. 13, deputies responded to a call of a disorderly male who had broken the window of a woman’s home on Kent Street. On arrival, the complainant, 20, told deputies that a former friend of hers that she had casually dated was at her address. The complainant identified the subject and stated that he was yelling and screaming to let him into the residence. He had also texted her residence and had used a rock or another object to break the window. The suspect was hovering around the area when deputies arrived, and was apprehended when he tried to leave the scene. The cost to repair the broken window is estimated at $800.

MOUNDS VIEW SPORTS BRIEFS Mustang girls lose to Bears, beat Roseville, each 1-0 Mounds View girls soccer edged Roseville Area 1-0 Sept. 17 evening at home after losing a duel of unbeatens at White Bear Lake 1-0 Sept. 15. The Mustangs have a 3-1-2 record despite scoring just four total goals. At White Bear Lake, the lone goal was scored with four minutes left by Lauren Eckerle, after she and goalie Lauren McAlpine knocked each other down and Eckerle got back to her feet quicker. The Mustangs peppered the nets with 11 shots on goal but all were stopped by two Bear goalies. McAlpine made 14 saves in the game. At Roseville, freshman Lauren Ballinger scored in the fi rst half, and McAlpine and the defense made the 1-0 lead stand up. The defensive corps includes seniors Sarah Kothlow and Leah Ban, and juniors Ella Hebert and Olivia Gette, backed up by junior Claire Redlinger and freshman Amelia Gregory. “Our back line in general is very organized and they work well together. The few opportunities their line gets broken, Lauren does her part in making saves,” coach Katelyn Fast said.
Mustang swimmers (3-1) beat Irondale, Roseville The Mounds View swimmers have a 3-1 record after wins over Irondale 106-80 on Sept. 15 and Roseville Area 93-80 on Sept. 17, both away meets. Earlier, the Mustangs beat Forest Lake and lost to perennial power Stillwater. Against Irondale, the Mustangs won just four of 12 events but showed much more depth. Individual event winners were Siri Wilkes in individual medley (2:24.58) and backstroke (1:04.80), and Brynn Mills in 200 freestyle (2:11.69). The Mustang 400 freestyle relay team of Sila Yurttas, Alexis Easley, Mills and Elly Lynch won in 4:03.84. Irondale’s Dasha Fruzyna won the 50 freestyle and butterfly while leading off two relay wins. Against Roseville, fi rst-places were posted by Wilkes in backstroke (1:05.10) and butterfly (1:05.00), Lynch 100 free (59.14), Erika Turkington in IM (2:28.25), and Alana Schmitzer in 50 freestyle (26.91) and 500 freestyle (5:48.16). The Mustangs swept the relays with Alexis Easley, Laney Schwieters, Sina Yurtas and Brynn Mills in the 200 free (1:50.80); Wilkes, Schmitzer, Easley and Schwieters in the medley (2:02.54); and Schmitzer, Wilkes, Mills and Lynch in the 400 free (4:04.02).
Mustang boys tie Bears, tip Roseville in soccer Mounds View boys soccer lost its fi rst game of the season and has gone unbeaten in their last five outings, although three of them are ties. The Mustangs (2-1-3) tied White Bear Lake 1-1 on a late penalty kick there Sept. 15 and edged Roseville Area 2-1 at home Sept 17. Against the Bears, the Mustangs, down 1-0, had two PK opportunities late in the game. The fi rst, by Aaron Hill, after a hand ball penalty, was deflected by Bear goalie Alex Carlson. But after a tripping penalty, Simon Greer ripped his PK past Carlson just inside the right post with 11 minutes left. Gavin Rogers had the Bear goal. Against Roseville, Uzair Ahmed scored in the 22nd minute (assist by Foster Conlin) and Joseph Swallen broke a 1-1 tie in the 57th minute (assist by Aaron Hill). “The boys did a really good job of dealing with long ball threats throughout the game,” coach Joseph Warren said about the Roseville win. “And then on the attack, they worked hard to keep possession and build from the back as often as they could.” The Mustangs lost their opener to East Ridge 1-0. They’ve also tied Woodbury and Stillwater, each 1-1, and beat CretinDerham Hall 2-0. There are no overtimes this year as one of the special rules during the pandemic. Senior Alex Catrine is the goalkeeper.
Mounds View tennis cruises to 7-0 record The Mounds View tennis team has won its fi rst six matches by 7-0 and beat Woodbury 5-2 in its most recent match when the Royals put their top four players in doubles and won at one and two. The Mustangs have blanked Cretin-Derham Hall, Roseville, East Ridge, Stillwater, Irondale and Forest Lake. This week, they will fi nish conference play against White Bear Lake on Sept. 15 and Park on Sept. 17. “Everyone really has been playing well,” coach Scott Sundstrom said. “Katerina Smiricinschi is undefeated (at 2 and 3 singles) and has hardly lost any games.” The regulars are seniors Sanjana Pattanaik, Katia Bartels, Hannah Lindgren, Annika Lindgren and Ella Roesler; junior Molly Austin; sophomores Smiricinschi, Amanda Diao, Emma Sun, and Emily Aman; and freshman Annabelle Huang.

Tips for dementia caregivers during the pandemic indicates that age is the strongest known risk factor for dementia. The Alzheimer’s Association urges dementia caregivers to follow guidelines established by the CDC as they continue to provide care for dementia patients. • Wear face masks or cloth coverings. Face masks or cloth coverings should be worn when tending to dementia patients. This includes when preparing meals for dementia patients or cleaning their homes. The CDC urges caregivers to wear personal protective equipment when providing personal or medical services to people with dementia, including when helping them bathe. • Arrange for a substitute caregiver if you are ill or exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19. Caregivers should have

a backup caregiver lined up in case they feel ill or if they are exhibiting any symptoms of COVID-19 or if they have been exposed to anyone with the virus. The CDC notes that symptoms of COVID-19 include fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, and muscle or body aches. A full list of COVID-19 symptoms can be found at www.cdc.gov. • Wash your hands frequently. Frequent handwashing can help dementia caregivers keep their patients safe. Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds upon arriving at your patient’s home, and continue to wash your hands frequently throughout the day. If visitors arrive, insist they follow the same handwashing routine. If you cough or sneeze during the day, wash
your hands immediately, and always wash hands before preparing meals. • Look for virtual programs that encourage social engagement. Virtual gatherings have become the new normal as people try to maintain connections with family and friends while respecting social distancing guidelines. The Alzheimer’s Association urges dementia caregivers to consider programs that offer virtual activities that encourage dementia patients to engage socially. Such engagement can lift patients’ spirits and remaining socially active supports brain health. Caring for dementia patients during the COVID-19 outbreak requires embracing various strategies to reduce patients’ risk of exposure to the potentially deadly virus. Submitted

Caregivers play vital roles in the lives of the people they look after. That’s especially true for people caring for dementia patients, many of whom require round-the-clock help every day. A caregiver’s role is never easy, but the demands have been even greater during the global COVID-19 pandemic. Despite social distancing guidelines and recommendations to reduce interactions with those vulnerable to COVID-19, including the elderly, dementia caregivers must continue to help patients in need. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that older adults are at the highest risk of severe illness from COVID-19. That puts dementia caregivers in difficult positions, as data from the World Health Organization
Until recently, private funds or long-term care insurance have been the only ways to ďŹ nance long-term care like skilled nursing homes, assisted living facilities or home health aides, which are not covered by traditional health insurance. However, a new option is now available. According to the online ďŹ nancial resource NerdWallet, for those concerned about the ďŹ nancial risk of buying long-term care insurance and never using it, combination long-term care/ life insurance policies may be better options. Depending on the policy, a portion of the funds can be used for long-term care that’s equal to several times the premium payments. This results in a reduced death beneďŹ t, depending on how much of the long-term care beneďŹ t was used. Some policies even guarantee a small percentage of the death beneďŹ t, even if all the money allocated for longterm care was used. The American Association of Long-Term Care Insurance said that more than 350,000 Americans purchased long-term care coverage in 2018 and roughly 84 percent of these purchases were for hybrid or combination life insurance. A much smaller percentage were traditional long-term care policies, showing the trend toward this growing insurance market. Hybrid products may have lower premiums, and they can be paid in a lump sum or over several years. For those who do not tap into the long-term care savings, the policy will still pay out a death beneďŹ t to beneďŹ ciaries.

Shame on you, Candy Sina, for NOT showing up for the Sept 15 candidate forums sponsored by the League of Women Voters (LMV) for Senate 42 and House 42A and 42B districts. You were a no show in the 2016 election forum too. You chose NOT to participate, thereby NOT allowing us to hear your views. That is disrespectful and irresponsible. Kelly Moller will definitely get my vote for district 42A. I have found her to be a very good listener and articulate speaker who has strived for a positive and bipartisan role in the House for the past two years. The League of Women voters sponsors free, non-partisan forums in our local communities so voters can hear the candidates’ views on various issues and candidates’ responses to questions submitted to LMV moderators. The Sept 15 online forums are available online at lwv-wbla.org/ voter-services/candidate-forums. Many other local candidate forums are also available via the White Bear Lake League website. All district 42 candidates were invited to the online forum: Jason Isaacson, Ben Schwanke, Kelly Moller, Sue Finney and Jamie Becker-Finn chose to participate and responded to many questions which were pre-submitted by the public. Thanks to all of you for joining the forum and answering questions. Linda Johnson Shoreview
PAID LETTER Stofferahn understands current challenges
(check out his website). His character and values represent the sane, responsible, enlightened, and community-oriented approach to government that we badly need in these trying times. We also need someone with the vision and energy to help build a future that leaves us more safe, healthy, and secure than we are today. Justin is that person. Amy Okaya White Bear Lake
PAID LETTER Support Shoreview City Council incumbents While it is exciting to see new faces who are interested in serving on the Shoreview City Council, I am encouraging everyone’s support for Sue Denkinger and Emy Johnson. The next couple of years are going to be challenging for the city because of all the ramifications to our economy from COVID-19, and I strongly believe we need their experience and expertise. They both have worked tirelessly on behalf of the community and they bring valuable insights from their business experiences to the council. I have great confidence in their abilities and hope we can work together on the council in the future! Mayor Sandy Martin Shoreview
The Mounds Th M d Vi View School Board took the following actions at its Sept. 15 meeting, held via teleconference: • Certified the property tax levies as proposed. State law requires school boards to certify their proposed taxes by Sept. 30. Director of Finance Bridget Peterson presented the proposed levies. The estimated taxes total approximately $ 62 million. For school districts, proposed levies carry the option of levying the maximum versus a specific amount. “This maximum option protects (a school district) whose levy may increase during this time of work by (the Minnesota Department of Education), versus levying a specific dollar amount, which could prevent us from levying further increases,” Peterson said. School districts are required to hold a Truth in Taxation public hearing during a regularly scheduled school board meeting. Mounds View's Truth in Taxation hearing is scheduled for 6 p.m. Dec. 8.
d t Ch i L dent Chris Lennox. After starting the 2020-21 school year in full-time distance learning, the district has offered hybrid learning as an option for students and families. Hybrid learning began Sept. 21. Students will attend class in-person either Mondays/ Wednesdays or Tuesdays/Thursdays, depending on the group in which they have been placed. Families can choose to continue
ith di t l with distance learning if they do not wish to send their students to school. • Heard an update on district construction projects from representatives of Kraus-Anderson and Wold. The board next meets for a work session at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 1. Its next regular meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 20. Elizabeth Callen

I am supporting Sen. Jason Isaacson for re-election because he is the candidate I trust most when it comes to education. Sen. Isaacson has been a tireless and reliable advocate for the Mounds View school district. He has supported our schools at the capitol, worked with our students in the district, and always helped when called upon. His work in the Legislature has centered around unwavering support for public education – focusing on the wellbeing of our students, the needs of our teachers, and funding for our school district. Sen. Isaacson has offered legislation to provide more mental health services in schools in addition to gun safety legislation to protect our communities. As an Orange Star endorsed candidate, I am confident he will put the safety of our children ahead of special interest groups. I have worked closely with Sen. Isaacson for the past several years and can personally attest to how passionate he is about education. As a college educator he knows fi rsthand what it takes to help every student succeed beyond K-12. He understands that attending a four-year college is not the best path for everyone and has done critical work to expand Minnesota’s post-secondary options. I am confident that Sen. Isaacson will continue to be an advocate for health and well-being of all our students, putting them ahead of partisan politics. Please join me in voting for Sen. Isaacson in November!

In 1973 Grandpa Johnstone opened Cup and Cone to drive business to Johnstone’s Dairy and Grocery Store. He purchased the old service station next door to the grocery and renovated it into the now iconic building on 4th street. According to 3rd generation owner, Rick Johnstone, his father Keith Johnstone started with one flavor (vanilla). Since then C & C has expanded to fifteen flavors, with new flavors planned to be introduced in October of this year. Through the years they tried pizza, spaghetti and other meal types, before finally settling on Submarines. “Dad sold 10 sandwiches that first day”, recalls Rick. Now they sell between 75 and 100 every day! Rick started working at the store at age 12 and remembers with fondness how they would make their candy bar malts. Back then every malt would get an entire full-size frozen candy bar. “We would take the frozen bars and a huge knife and chop them by hand for each malt”. “Snickers were the worst”, says Rick. Like so many others, this October will look very different from the first 46
years for Cup and Cone. New flavors being unveiled include: Fudge Brownie, Cookie Dough, Oreo, Cotton Candy, Coffee Espresso and California Cake Batter. Their popular S’mores items will continue through October. Their online store is open offering all products, (including ice cream), so fans may order from anywhere and pick up their favorite treats without waiting outside. Rick is proud of the store’s “Frozen 6-Pack for the WBL Food Shelf ” program, where customers have donated nearly $6,000 from March thru August 1! The program will continue this fall. For the first time ever, Cup and Cone will be open into November this year, and maybe even a “Cup and Cone Christmas 2020”!

Second generation owner T J Ricci, exhibits a sense of pride discussing the bar his parents opened in 1974. The family has been the owners of this “Cheers” style bar where everyone knows your name for most of the last 46 years. In 1996 the Ricci’s entered into an agreement with the city to lease the building, while retaining ownership of the business. According to Ricci, “things have been going very well for the past 24 years”. The original building was built in the 1870’s, as a livery stable. Shortly after prohibition ended in the early 1930’s, Fred Lenhart, a professional boxer, and fixture for years with the WBL Fire Department, purchased the building and opened Lenhart’s Bar, which he ran until 1969. It is said when the fire whistle sounded Fred would leave the patrons in charge while he ran out to help fight the fire! Ricci speaks with pride of the friendly, family atmosphere, the dedicated hardworking staff, and the family’s commitment to community. Over the years the bar has continued
to sponsor many youth sports teams, including football, hockey, softball and lacrosse. They are big supporters of the WBL Hockey Association through meat raff les and charitable gambling. Ricci feels the longevity and loyalty of their employees is due to the strong family atmosphere and a feeling that the owners “have their backs”. Longtime manager Angie Eret has been working with staff to create a Facebook page to help support other bars and restaurants in town. During the initial COVID shutdown, the bar underwent an interior renovation, with new furniture, barstools and a whole new bar and bar top. “It has really given the place a fresh look”, says Ricci. For food they offer popcorn and Heggies pizzas. The Bar is open seven days a week.
