Domestic Violence Awareness Month

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

What is domestic violence?

Domestic violence is the willful intimidation, physical assault, battery, sexual assault and/or other abusive behavior as part of a systematic pattern of power and control perpetrated by one intimate partner against another. It includes physical violence, sexual violence, threats and emotional abuse. The frequency and severity of domestic violence can vary dramatically.

Candice Amundson, a domestic violence survivor, shares her story and talks about how Alexandra House helped her.

First step is talking about it

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR

Candice Amundson spent eight years of her life living in constant fear. Once her child’s life was in danger, she knew she had to get out of that situation.

Amundson is one of the more than 10 million women and men that have experienced physical abuse by an intimate partner in the U.S. First observed in October 1981 as a national “Day of Unity,” Domestic Violence Awareness Month is held each October to unite advocates across the nation in their efforts to end domestic violence. Communities and advocacy organizations across the country connect with the public and one another throughout the month to raise awareness about the signs of abuse and ways to stop it, and to uplift survivors by sharing their stories and providing additional resources to leaders and policymakers.

After about 10 months of dating a man, Amundson found out she was pregnant. In the

The votes are in and a Shoreview resident has risen to the top.

Dan McMahon was selected the Best Photographer in the 2022 Best of the Shoreview Press Readers’ Choice Contest.

“It feels good that people noticed and took the time to vote for me,” McMahon said.

Photographing high school seniors and athletes are a big part of McMahon’s business.

“I’ve been doing this full-time since 1987,” he said.

“With athletes I do the Mounds View girls volleyball team individual pictures, banners and stuff that allows me to be a little bit more creative,” McMahon said.

Something he is starting to do now is a cross between photography and painting. He digitally paints a portrait using a photograph as a starting point and then digitally paints it and put it on a canvas. I use some acrylic paint on it and I seal that up.”

It’s time consuming. I’ve done several that were scenic and I’m starting to do some portraits.

OPINION

SHOREVIEW PRESS

OCTOBER 11, 2022

Ian was devastating

T

HE FLORIDA SOUTHWEST coast was hit Wednesday, Sept. 5 by a Category 4 hurricane. Hurricane Ian was devastating.

The slow moving, wide storm sustained winds over 100 miles per hour and did extensive damage to Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel and Captiva Islands, the city of Fort Myers. Adjoining areas were affected as well, before it crossed the state to hit Orlando and move north into the Atlantic and back inland.

Resorts, marinas, homes and area businesses were destroyed. The value is estimated at $50 billion. Thousands of people were made homeless, lives were lost and pets missing.

Our motor yacht, our winter home for 19 years, was badly damaged when 12 foot surge of water hit About the aLegacy Harbour Marina at Fort Myers. Pilings and Town piers broke and boats ended Gene Johnson up hitting each other. More than 20 boats in the marina sank.

The hurricane which took more than 100 lives is considered the most powerful to hit Florida.

This storm will take a long time to recover from. The causeways to Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, and Pine Island blew out.

Our boat, Front Page, was on several television networks after the storm. As a result, many family and friends from across the country are sending comforting messages.

Do what you can to help those who lost homes and property. Recovery will be long.

This has been and will continue to be another lesson in God’s creation - power and wind.

EMPLOYERS ALL OVER Minnesota, Wisconsin and elsewhere are finding it difficult to fill job openings. Some people blame it on the fact that people don’t want to work.

Various kinds of unemployment government assistance may discourage job seeking. I’m not sure that’s the only cause.

I think we have undervalued our vocational schools. We need training for all types of trades, whether it be automotive, electrical, plumbing, carpentry, masonry work, etc.

Some of those jobs will get your hands dirty and you may have to wear a uniform that has the company name on it, but they are good paying jobs and many of them are four or five days a week with no night or weekend work requirements.

Another observation I have made is a lack of people skills. Many of those we interview have a very difficult time making eye contact or talking comfortably in conversation. Maybe they have had their face in the computer and television screens too long and lost people skills.

If you have a desire to work and can interact with people, chances are you can learn the skill requirement for the job available.

Sometimes technology moves us forward, but also slows us down.

Maybe our readers have some ideas they would like to share. Letters to the editor always provide a good place to exchange ideas.

Drivers license test, shortage of staff

he shortage of staff at area Department of Motor Vehicle facilities has been in the news lately. We experienced it first-hand when scheduling a driving test for our 16-year-old.

We had booked him to take the test on his birthday at Arden Hills several months ago. He is among the first of his friends to turn 16, and was excited about getting his license. He has proven himself to be a cautious and attentive driver, so we were surprised when he didn’t pass the test. He got tripped up making a left turn from the wrong lane, which an automatic Publisher’s is fail. The Minnesota Department of View Public Safety Carter Johnson estimates 25% of kids don’t pass the first time.

We had to wait 24 hours to schedule a retake of the test, and the rules are that he could retake it after a week of practice. When my wife went online the next day to book it, there we no options to take the test at Arden Hills, or anywhere in the metro area. All of the sites she clicked on simply said “There are no appointments available at this location.” At most of the sites there wasn’t even an option to book something months in advance. She clicked through

all of the locations in the state and was able to find availability the following week in Alexandria, Mankato and Virginia. It was a little complicated by the fact Amy and I were headed out of town for a vacation. He took a half day off of school and his grandparents drove him to Alexandria to take the test. Thankfully he passed though he still couldn’t get his license because he need a parent to sign the application. The morning after we got back we were first in line at the White Bear license bureau and it took less than 10 minutes for them to take his photo and give him his license.

We have heard similar stories from other parents. My advice to those who have a child turning 16 is to book the test months in advance. I might suggest booking it for the day after their birthday though – failing the test completely ruined his birthday and the dinner celebration we had planned.

There is nothing like the feeling of getting behind the wheel all by yourself for the first time.

The freedom of driving is a huge milestone and a privilege. He couldn’t stop smiling for two days.

We have a older Honda that Amy drove for years and our daughter drove it for the past couple of years. Now our son gets to use it, and I was thrilled to find he had thoroughly cleaned it inside and out. Of course with driving comes some added worrying, but we have recouped some time now that he

can drive himself to school and basketball practices.

Now the challenge is conveying the expense of every mile driven.

According to the IRS in 2021 it was $0.585 per mile and in 2022 it is $0.605. Consider that the next time you drive 20 miles to buy at a big box store versus the locallyowned store down the street. You just might save $22 in auto expense and fuel, as well as time. It’s hard to truly appreciate the expense of an automobile. One local mechanic scoffed at me and the parents who have been buying all-wheel drive cars. He said it will cost $1000+ just in tires, along with expensive repairs due to all the extra moving parts. We might want to get back to buying more simple, front wheel drive cars.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor: Having had the privilege to work alongside Sue Denkinger, I know firsthand her steadfast commitment to residents in the city of Shoreview.

I first got the chance to work along Sue on the Shoreview Economic Development Authority. It was there where I was able to experience her approach to thoughtful leadership. Sue began as a member and eventually went on to become the president.

Currently, I’m honored to work alongside her as a fellow council member. Sue has a tremendous ability to understand issues and make solid decisions. Sue is honest, trustworthy and loyal. Sue is not afraid to ask challenging questions in the spirit of policy and serving the common good.

I’m delighted to support Sue as she becomes the next mayor of Shoreview, and hope that you too will cast your vote for this exceptional leader.

Emy Johnson Shoreview

PAID LETTER To the Editor: I feel compelled to express my reasons why I am voting for Alicia Baraga for mayor of Shoreview.

Shoreview is a beautiful and unique city. I feel many of the residents take this for granted and assume that this is the way it will be forever. Guess what? “Urban sprawl” is knocking at our door. The race to see which city can become the densest and most populated to receive a bigger slice of the pie is asking us to join.

We need a leader like Alicia to represent us.

Alicia understands that Shoreview is an oasis. Our lakes and trails are city treasures that need to be preserved and protected, not exploited. Her agenda is not to eliminate development but to ensure that any future development considers what is in the best interest of the city and its residents, long term.

Shoreview is in a strong and healthy financial position. We are not desperate for additional revenues to remain viable. Alicia understands that this provides us the opportunity to be selective regarding how our city moves forward.

I hear people say that Alicia has no political experience and is therefore unqualified. My response is that her not being political makes her qualified. Shoreview does not need another career politician. What Shoreview needs is someone with fresh ideas who recognizes the attributes that caused each one of us to make Shoreview where we live, raise our children and call home.

I know Alicia, and she is not some elitist trying to maintain exclusivity or a “not-in-my-backyard” fanatic but someone with a strong desire to see RESPONSIBLE GROWTH that maintains all that is great about Shoreview.

Taro Ito Shoreview

PAID LETTER To the Editor: We support Sue Denkinger for mayor to keep Shoreview a vibrant, welcoming community that provides high-quality city services that we may sometimes take for granted. Sue has the experience and ability to promote policies to maintain and advance the city’s services for police and fire protection, parks and recreation, streets and the

other important functions that we may only notice if there is a problem.

In Shoreview, we have high-quality police and fire protection at a reasonable cost because of policies created by our city leaders. Sue Denkinger has experience as a board member of the Lake Johanna Fire Department and understands how to best deal with rising costs of public safety. We have the highest-quality parks and recreation services that are an envy of most other cities. Accolades keep coming in for the new destination playground!

That’s also a result of creative, forward-looking city leadership.

Our street, water and sewer systems that all work well are frequently taken for granted by Shoreview residents. Sue Denkinger understands the city’s important fiscal policy for maintaining the high quality of these and other components of the city’s infrastructure. With experienced city leaders, Shoreview has earned a AAA rating from Standard and Poor’s, the highest credit rating that a city may earn.

Shoreview city government also excels in receiving input from citizens. Over 70 volunteers serve on nine committees or commissions that advise our city. Sue Denkinger has listened to that input, and she also takes extra time to show up at neighborhood meetings and community events.

She knows that Shoreview residents have high expectations for quality city services and that we also insist upon best environmental practices in all city projects.

When we elect a new mayor to replace retiring Mayor Sandy Martin, the city has other challenges as well. Some costs, such as for public safety, are rising and several city department heads are nearing retirement age. This is not a time for a mayor who lacks city government experience. Sue Denkinger, as mayor, will continue policies that promote high-quality services.

Kent and Diane Peterson Shoreview

PAID LETTER Support Denkinger, Doan, and Springhorn I am supporting Sue Denkinger for mayor of Shoreview, and John Doan and Cory Springhorn for Shoreview City Council.

You don’t have to look far beyond Shoreview’s borders to find out how good we’ve had it. Cities all around us have experienced periods of dysfunction over the years. City council members fighting with mayors, mayors micromanaging staff, staff leaving in droves and fiscal emergencies going unaddressed. Instead, Shoreview has been fortunate to have steady and mature leadership over many years under Sandy Martin along with high-quality council members like Sue Denkinger, Cory Springhorn and newly appointed John Doan.

Good elected officials hire and retain quality staff, who provide efficient and cost-effective services, all without the drama.

There are plenty of reasons to celebrate Shoreview: A mix of housing choices; great parks, trails and recreation options; a commitment to human rights; sound fiscal management; and continued innovation to improve water quality, among others. These things don’t just happen. They resulted from leadership by elected officials, staff, businesses and residents contributing their time over decades.

Sue Denkinger is now running for mayor, and

COMMUNITY BRIEF

Celebrate global diversity awareness month The Shoreview Human Rights Commission, Oak Hill Montessori Community School, and Ramsey County Library are bringing the project, A Peace of My Mind, to Shoreview from Monday, Oct. 24 to Friday, Oct. 28. This multimedia arts project was created by award-winning photographer and storyteller John Noltner. The project uses portraits and personal stories to bridge divides, encourage dialogue, and celebrate the differences between us all. It includes a banner exhibit, on-site studio, and presentation by Noltner.

The American stories banner exhibit will feature 54 portraits and personal stories from people of diverse backgrounds, all answering the question, “What does peace mean to you?” This will take place

from Oct. 24 to 27 at the Shoreview Community Center and the Ramsey County Library in Shoreview.

A keynote presentation will take place at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 27 at the Shoreview Community Center. Noltner will share his crosscountry story to reveal the wisdom of everyday Americans and their stories of hope, transformation and forgiveness.

The on-site studio will take place from 3 to 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24 and from 1 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 25 at the Ramsey County Library in Shoreview. Nolter will gather stories from community members around the question, “What is your responsibility to create community?” People can bring their answers, in 25 words or less, to the on-site studio where you will pose for your portrait. To sign up for studio time go to https://www. signupgenius.com/go/apomm.

she will continue this legacy of good government.

She impresses me with her curiosity. Some leaders start conversations with “Here is what I think.” Sue leads with, “What do YOU think?” Cory has been a friend for two decades and can always be counted on to stand for the common good and for respectful dialogue at a time in our country when people are constantly shouting at each other and denigrating others. I first met John Doan when we were both under consideration for appointment to the Met Council in 2010. After he presented to the selection committee, my reaction was, “Wow! Governor Dayton needs to appoint this guy, not me!” And so he did. His experience in transportation and working with our elderly will come in handy to Shoreview for years to come.

I encourage my neighbors to support Sue, Cory and John this fall.

Paul Gardner Shoreview

PAID LETTER To the Editor: Minnesota carjackings, shootings and murders are headed for another record-breaking year.

During the George Floyd riots, Gov. Walz sat back and did nothing while Minneapolis burned to the ground. He is apparently incapable of providing the most basic function of government, safety and security.

A broken tax system produced a $9.3 billion surplus, only half of which Gov. Walz is willing to give back, and yet 52% of 800 Minnesotans polled recently give Gov. Walz a favorable opinion.

What am I missing?

Scott Odmark Shoreview

To the Editor: I read the letter about the so called Inflation Reduction Act and felt the need to respond.

First off, they say it will do little, if anything, to reduce inflation, so the name of the Act is very misleading. So the reader touts these credits for electric cars which she mentions will send gas prices plummeting. Very few people can afford electric cars, and certainly not most working-class people.

And what did the car companies do shortly after seeing the credit? They raised the prices on their electric cars. Ford raised its price on the F-150 by $7,000 in August. So your credit is already gone. Add in interest rates rising like crazy, and the cost of a car loan will skyrocket. To me, she is delusional if she thinks we are all going to be driving around in electric cars anytime soon. It simply is not going to happen.

As far as solar panels go, again if you are well off you may buy them, but the middle and working class cannot afford them, especially with 40-year record high inflation and rising interest rates. They are not going to be taking out $30,000 loans to put in panels with these interest rates. People who can afford these things need to realize most people cannot, and to think people will buy them in massive numbers is delusional, in my opinion. The credits are not enough to lower the cost to make them affordable for most, and the car companies will simply raise the prices anyway, so the credit really is useless.

DNR BRIEFS

Statewide youth deer season returns Oct. 20-23 Minnesota’s youth deer season will take place statewide Thursday, Oct. 20, through Sunday, Oct. 23. The season coincides with statewide teacher workshops, so many Minnesota students don’t have school during the youth season.

To participate, youth must be 10-17 years old and have a deer license. Participant numbers are not limited and there is no special permit, so parents should purchase or obtain a regular deer hunting license for the youth who will be hunting. An adult parent, guardian or mentor must accompany youth ages 10-13.

All hunters and mentors, regardless of whether they are participating in youth deer season, must follow blaze orange/pink clothing requirements.

Adults may not hunt, unless they are in an area open during the early antlerless season and have the corresponding license. Complete youth season details are available online at mndnr.gov/Hunting/ Deer/Youth.html.

Hunters encouraged to share observations With archery deer season underway and scouting for the upcoming firearms deer season starting in earnest, now is an ideal time for hunters to start using the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ online log for deer and other wildlife sightings.

The DNR uses the results to compare what hunters report to the population estimates that are an important tool for managing wildlife. Using a mobile device or desktop computer, hunters can enter information on the DNR website (mndnr.gov/ Mammals/Deer/Management/Deer-Hunter-FieldLog.html) about wildlife they see while hunting, including deer, turkey, bear, fisher and other species. Hunters also will be able to report specific information about any deer they harvest, including antler size.

Hunters are encouraged to fill out a report after each hunt even if they don’t see any deer that day.

Filling out a report even if no deer are observed is important, as it allows for an accurate estimate of the number of deer observed per hour of field observations, which provides a useful comparison to deer-density modeling results. The questionnaire will remain open through the end of the year.

The DNR will report results from hunters’ observations in an annual research summary online. Results from 2021 and previous hunter observation survey results are available at mndnr. gov/Mammals/Deer/Management/Statistics. html#Observe.

A rendering of the Hodgson Road construction project.

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

“The city of Shoreview has never had a project like this,” Public Works Director Mark Maloney said.

Ramsey County is planning to reconstruct Hodgson Road from Bridge Street to Gramsie Road, Rice Street between Hodgson Road and County Road F, and County Road F between Hodgson Road and Rice Street.

“This is a former Minnesota state trunk highway which was turned over to Ramsey County I believe in the late 1990s,” Maloney said. “I can’t find any record in Shoreview’s history of a significant improvement of this corridor and that goes back more than 60 years. The city has been working with Ramsey County for decades to come up with a vision for this corridor in the community.”

As part of Ramsey County’s Reconstruction of Hodgson Road, a cooperative agreement for right of way acquisition and design services, that includes cost share participation, is required between Shoreview and Ramsey County.

“This is just one step to keep the project moving forward,” Maloney said.

The right of way costs would be potentially funded by the city’s municipal state aid fund.

The city’s current municipal state aid balance is not sufficient to cover the right of way cost.

The city will need to apply to state aid for an advance from future year’s allocations. It is proposed that 75% of the design fee would be funded from the city’s water fund and 25% from the city’s sewer fund.

According to Maloney, preliminary plans for these proposed improvements have been developed collaboratively with city staff over the past few years. Due to changes in the roadway cross-section and addition of sidewalks, trails and required stormwater treatment,

additional right of way is required in several locations throughout the corridor.

Temporary easements are also required to allow construction of the public infrastructure.

Proposed improvements include: • Reconstruction of the pavement and geometric improvements.

• Concrete curb and gutter.

• Sidewalks and trails.

• Upgraded traffic signals.

• Stormwater collection and treatment.

• Replacement of Shoreview water and sanitary sewer systems.

‘There is a lot being considered that is not there today including sidewalks and trails.

We’ve come a long way to making this corridor look and act like something that belongs to our community.’

Mark Maloney Shoreview Public Works Director Right of way acquisition costs for the project is shared 50% by the county and 50% by the city.

Shoreview’s portion of the right of way costs is approximately $2.2 million.

“That is a conservative estimate,” Maloney said. “The county and the city are both working together to evaluate how that number can come down.”

The project will significantly impact portions of the city’s water distribution and sanitary sewer systems, requiring the city to cost share in the engineering design costs for the project. Shoreview’s portion of

the design fee totals $60,776.

“This is a complete face-lift of this corridor,” Maloney said at the Oct. 3 City Council. “There is a lot being considered that is not there today including sidewalks and trails. We’ve come a long way to making this corridor look and act like something that belongs to our community.”

Maloney said construction will begin in 2023.

“There will be future City Council actions that will be required on this project,” Maloney said. “We will receive the feasibility report and to hold a public improvement hearing.”

The council unanimously approved the cooperative agreement for right of way acquisition and design services associated with the Hodgson road reconstruction.

“It’s a huge project,” Mayor Sandy Martin said. “And we’ve been waiting a long time for it.”

Shoreview walk club to celebrate Walk & Roll to School Day

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

A group of nearly 10 families living in southern Shoreview is gearing up for the annual Walk & Roll to School Day on Wednesday, Oct. 12.

Walk & Roll to School Day is an annual event that involves communities from across the country walking and rolling to school on the same day. It began in 1997 as a one-day event. Today, thousands of schools across America — from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico — participate every October. Over time, this celebration has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school.

Ann Gentry, of Shoreview, is a member of the walking club. She has been walking her kids to and from school every day for the last five years.

“We are at the edge of the neighborhood, and when we walk to school we pick up kids and parents along the way,” Gentry said. “We walk in the wind, rain, snow, in all weather, all year long, even on the bitter cold days. One of the best things about living in our neighborhood is that walking is a realistic goal in all weather.”

The walk to and from Island Lake Elementary School takes approximately 15 minutes.

“This time of year, we are crunching the leaves under our feet and soon the kids will be making snowballs,” Gentry said. “There’s something to see with all seasons. The kids like to walk through the puddles and see the worms when it rains.”

Gentry said that Chris Koepple, the crossing guard at Island Lake Elementary School, is amazing.

“She’s really good about watching out for the kids, and she knows who the walkers are,” Gentry said. “She’s good about making sure the cars, all of the buses and people are out of the way before the kids cross.”

According to Gentry, walking to school is good for the environment because they are not driving cars. It’s also a great way to start the day.

“Walking is good for the kids

because it calms their little bodies down and wakes their brains up,” Gentry said. “By the time they get to school, they’ve got some of their energy out and are ready to sit and learn for awhile.”

In honor of the Walk & Roll to School Day event, Gentry invited Mayor Sandy Martin and all community members to participate on Oct. 12.

“If you live in walking distance of

• A Shoreview woman reported being assaulted at 9:01 p.m. Sept. 10 in the Turtle Lake County Park lot in the 4900 block of Hodgson Road by a group of boys in their late teens who started shooting her with a “spider gun” and caused minor injuries to her arm and face. The victim provided Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies a photo of the vehicle occupied by the teens as it was seen leaving the area.

A Keep Our Kops Safe (KOPS) alert was issued on the suspect, and the case is in the process of being forwarded to the county attorney’s office for review of possible charges.

• A Sheldon, Wisconsin, man on Sept. 12 also reported attempted fraudulent transactions at the Shoreview Target after his wallet was stolen from a vehicle parked at a job site in Arden Hills.

• A resident in the 100 block of Dennison Avenue reported a credit card account opened in her name Sept. 13 by individuals using her Social Security number and address. The victim is now in the process of changing her other accounts after deputies showed her recommended steps to recover from identity theft.

According to witness reports and subsequent investigation, a male had been traveling at a high rate of speed on a stolen St. Paul Police Department motor cycle and crashed at Tanglewood Drive. The suspect fled the scene on foot along southbound Larson Drive and was not located. However, the subject’s cell phone was located near the stolen motorcycle and used to identify him. The bike was then towed.

A Shoreview woman, 37, was cited and arrested at 8:25 p.m. Sept. 19 in the 1500 block of Hall Street for assault, following a family domestic during which she threw knives at a male victim.

RCSO BRIEF

“Wanted” suspect finally run to ground A St. Paul man, 24, faces up to one year in prison and/ or a maximum $3,000 fine for gross misdemeanor violating a Domestic Abuse No Contact Order (DANCO), following a Sept. 22 incident in which Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called out to the 500 block of Harriet Avenue to arrest a wanted individual.

A woman living at the residence contacted deputies at 1:08 a.m.

Sept. 22, to let them know that a male they were looking for was at her residence and that she wanted him arrested. According to the DANCO, the suspect was not allowed to have any contact with the complainant or to be

at her residence. The complainant, who had taken out seven active DANCO papers against the suspect, stepped out of her home to allow deputies to enter.

After deputies entered the home and ascended to the second floor, they noticed the patio blinds rustling.

They were in time to see the suspect jump from the second floor and run southbound.

Although they ordered the suspect to stop, he continued to flee until a K-9 officer apprehended him.

Signs and symptoms of breast cancer may include: • A breast lump or thickening that feels different from the surrounding tissue • Change in the size, shape or appearance of a breast • Changes to the skin over the breast, such as dimpling • A newly inverted nipple • Peeling, scaling, crusting or flaking of the pigmented area of skin surrounding the nipple (areola) or breast skin • Redness or pitting of the skin over your breast, like the skin of an orange If you find a lump or other change in your breast — even if a recent mammogram

was normal — make an appointment with your doctor for prompt evaluation.

Causes

Doctors know that breast cancer occurs when some breast cells begin to grow abnormally. These cells divide more rapidly than healthy cells do and continue to accumulate, forming a lump or mass. Cells may spread (metastasize) through your breast to your lymph nodes or to other parts of your body.

Breast cancer most often begins with cells in the milk-producing ducts (invasive ductal carcinoma). Breast cancer may also begin in the glandular tissue called lobules (invasive lobular carcinoma) or in other cells or tissue within the breast.

Researchers have identified hormonal, lifestyle and environmental factors that may increase your risk of breast cancer.

Inherited breast cancer

Doctors estimate that about 5 to 10 percent of breast cancers are linked to gene mutations passed through generations of a family.

A number of inherited mutated genes that can increase the likelihood of breast cancer have been identified. The most well-known are breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2), both of which significantly increase the risk of both breast and ovarian cancer.

(From nationalbreastcancer.org) • In 2022, an estimated 287,500 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the U.S. as well as 51,400 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.

• Although rare, men get breast cancer too. In 2022, an estimated 2,710 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the U.S. and approximately 530 men will die from breast cancer.

• 65% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage (there is no sign that the cancer has spread outside of the breast), for which the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.

• Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new women cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.

• This year, an estimated 43,550 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S. • There are over 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

But it’s not clear why some people who have no risk factors develop cancer, yet other people with risk factors never do.

It’s likely that breast cancer is caused by a complex interaction of your genetic makeup and your environment.

After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States.

Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it’s far more common in women.

Substantial support for breast cancer awareness and research funding has helped create advances in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer survival rates have increased, and the number of deaths associated with this disease is steadily declining, largely due to factors such as earlier detection, a new personalized approach to treatment and a better understanding of the disease.

breast cancer or other cancers, your doctor may recommend a blood test to help identify specific mutations in BRCA or other genes that are being passed through your family.

Consider asking your doctor for a referral to a genetic counselor, who can review your family health history. A genetic counselor can also discuss the benefits, risks and limitations of genetic testing to assist you with shared decision-making.

“I had one family that I didn’t photograph this year because they moved to northern Minnesota but before Christmas, I realized I have photographed them for 30 years,” McMahon recalled. “The mom asked me if I knew how many years I’ve been doing this and I said it’s been a long time. She called me one day and said, ‘How many people actually know their photographers phone number by heart?’”

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Area organization provides ‘roadmap to safety’ FROM PAGE 3

beginning of the relationship she says he was verbally abusive, but never physically abusive. “It started out as name-calling,” she recalled. “But then it turned into control. He started controlling the finances, wanted control of where I was, what I was doing.”

Once Amundson’s child was born, she says he started being physically violent toward her, but never their son. “He would pull my hair, try to grab me, throw things and would yell and scream,” she recalled.

She said the final straw was when he not only tried to strangle her, but less than a week later also tried to strangle their child. “I wasn’t pressing any charges at that time because I was afraid of what would happen if I did that, especially with his criminal history,” she explained. Her abuser was eventually sentenced with a felony for attempted strangulation and received a penalty of 60 days in jail.

It took Amundson many years to work up the courage to share her story with those she was close to and to seek help. “My body couldn’t take anymore of being in ‘flight’ mode.

Blood pressure pounding, jumpy with every noise, nightmares and becoming a person that wasn’t me,” she said.

She confided in some people she was close to, who ultimately told her about Alexandra House, an organization that empowers victims of domestic and sexual violence and inspires social change through education, support and advocacy.

For eight months, Amundson attended a therapy program.

Alexandra House was also able to provide her other resources along the way, like helping her terminate her lease early with no penalties so that she and her son could stay safe.

“They were there for me whenever I needed it. I can’t imagine where I would be without them,” she explained. Amundson said Alexandra

House really helped her to understand and recognize healthy relationships and how to spot red flags and abusive behaviors. In addition, she also learned to cope with victim shaming.

Alexandra House Director of Mission Advancement Tina Bronson says the pandemic has exacerbated relationship abuse. “Minnesota domestic and sexual violence programs are reporting record numbers of people reaching out for services, and those who reach out for services are reporting more severe violence, complex family needs and increased mental health issues,” Bronson said. “At the same time, domestic and sexual violence’s most tragic outcomes — murder and severe injury — are on the rise.”

Several of Alexandra House’s programs have seen a significant increase in service requests. For example, calls to the 24-hour helpline were up 20% in 2021 from 2020.

Amundson offers the following advice for people who may find themselves in a similar situation: “Find somebody that you can trust, and talk to them and ask them for help, because I’m sure that person would like to do nothing more in the world than to help you. It might be somebody you least expect …

That’s the first step, just start talking about it.”

People who have been affected by domestic, sexual or relationship violence are encouraged to call Alexandra House’s 24-hour helpline at 763-780-2330.

“A misconception is that our helpline is only for abuse survivors; however, our helpline is for family, friends, co-workers, neighbors — anyone who is a concerned person wanting to support victims/survivors but may not know how best to do that or if what they are witnessing is abuse or what resources could they share with someone,” Bronson said.

Residents express concerns over boardwalks on Vadnais-Snail Lakes Regional Park trails

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Public meetings don’t typically draw a large crowd, but it was standing room only at the Shoreview Community Center on Sept. 28 as the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation held a community meeting on the 2022 Vadnais-Snail Lakes Regional Park Trail Improvements Feasibility Study.

Mark McCabe, the director of Ramsey County Parks and Recreation said that the feasibility study was done in response to resident’s concerns about flooding in the area known as Wetland A. The master planning process determined the public’s desire to reestablish the trail system within this section of the park.

Boardwalks were identified as the most likely means to make trail connections, but with a desire to maintain as much bituminous trail as possible. Additional drainage efficiency work completed by the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District (RWMWD) has provided more refined data that will need to be considered for any future trail development within the park.

“The boardwalk option is about what’s legally permitted and what would essentially guarantee to a certain degree that there wouldn’t be flooding in the future,” McCabe said.

Larry Swope, Shoreview resident and President of the RWMWD, lives on the trail and said his backyard has been flooded many times but doesn’t believe a boardwalk is the best solution.

“The bottom line is putting a boardwalk in an area that is very natural is not something that people I’ve talked to are in favor of,” Swope said. “A boardwalk is intrusive and changes the character of the area and they are not natural.”

The boardwalk proposed for the Snail Lake Trail would be 10 feet wide

NOELLE OLSON

An area on the Vadnais -Snail Lakes trail where proposed boardwalks could be placed.

with a nine-foot clear tread width and flat, non-sloped profile. In locations where the boardwalk is 30-inches or less from the ground, no railing is needed. The boardwalk will have a 6-inch-wide curb on both sides to keep people from the boardwalk edge. If the boardwalk is more than 30-inches from the ground, a 42-inch railing is required for fall protection.

MaCabe said there is an estimate on a lengthy section of boardwalk which

is estimated at $2 million.

“We don’t have a plan that’s moving forward into construction phase or anything like that,” MaCabe said.

“We do have the opportunity to modify plans and take what we heard from the meeting and try and see what we can to reduce the amount of boardwalk that we put in place.

“We heard the community saying that they would like very limited boardwalk or no boardwalk,” he

added. “We are going back to the set of options that were looked at and seeing if we can modify those based on the feedback that we heard.”

Girls soccer: Mustangs (9-4-1) picking up steam as playoffs approach

Caden Persuitti slipped away from two Roseville defenders for a 32-yard touchdown pass.

Mustang gridders stymie Anoka, Roseville

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS WRITER

The Mounds View football team broke into the win column with victories the last two Fridays — after losing their first four games by one touchdown each.

Riding the defense that’s been strong all season, the Mustangs clipped Anoka 17-7 on Sept. 30 and Roseville Area 10-6 on Oct. 7.

“I will go to battle with this group of young men any day of the week.

Incredibly proud of every single one of these guys who invest their heart into this thing,” coach Aaron Moberg said. “At 0-4 it would be easy to let discouragement seep in. I did not sense any of that from our guys or staff.

“We could have won any of those games. They came down to a play or two. It was nice to turn that around the last two weeks.”

Mounds View will play at Stillwater (6-0) on Friday.

Mustangs 17, Anoka 7

Most of the Mustang offense was Owen Wark’s passes to Tyler Nystrom as they connected 16 times for 189 yards.

Wark threw touchdown passes to Jack Brey from 11 yards to open the scoring in the second quarter, and to Nystrom from 20 yards to break a 7-7 tie in the third quarter.

Ben Holland booted a 30-yard field goal to make it 17-7, and two

extra points.

Wark completed 25 of 39 for 248 yards, with one interception. Caden Persuitti caught four for 33 yards and Ryan Counihan two for 17. The Mustangs netted just 44 yards in 23 rushes.

Anoka (1-5) had a 25-yard touchdown pass from Peyton Podany to Trey Borchers.

The Mustangs limited Podany to 17 completions in 38 attempts for 166 yards, and intercepted two passes.

Cam Baalson caught four for 56 yards and Borchers three four 43.

Ethan Massman rushed 23 times for 72 yards for Anoka.

Mustangs 10, Roseville 6

The Mustangs limited Roseville to 212 net yards and had a four to one turnover edge with two interceptions and two fumble recoveries.

Joey Muhlstein and Owen Farm had the interceptions. Muhlstein, a sophomore, also blocked a punt and an extra point.

It was a scoreless tie at halftime.

The Mustangs got all their points in the third quarter as Wark passed to Persuitti for a 32-yard touchdown and Ben Holland booted a 21-yard field goal.

Roseville (0-6) got on the board with 9:18 left in the game as William DeVries passed to Isaac Ivy for a 32yard touchdown.

DeVries completed nine of 23 for 117 yards. Ivy caught four for 87

MOUNDS VIEW FOOTBALL Tyler Nystrom set a Mounds View football receiving record with 16 catches against Anoka on Sept. 30, gaining 189 yards, including a 20-yard touchdown, leading the Mustangs to a 17-7 win. Through six games, the 6-foot-1, 174-pound junior wide receiver had 41 catches from Owen Wark for 518 yards and four touchdowns. He made all-conference as a sophomore.

Mounds View has a 9-4-1 mark with one conference match left in an injury-riddled season after shutting out two opponents last week.

Stillwater finished conference with an 8-1 record, followed by White Bear Lake and Woodbury, each 7-2. The Mustangs and East Ridge were each 6-2 heading into Saturday’s finale.

The shutouts were Mounds View’s sixth and seventh of the season. They have won eight of 10 matches since starting 0-2-1 in their first four.

The Mustangs’ all-state senior goalie Lauren McAlpine has an .870 save percentage and 1.03 goals-against average.

Asked about her defensive crew, coach Katelyn Fast reported: “We have had numerous injuries this season that has shifted our personnel in the back, and each player has stepped on the field ready to work together and compete for their team.”

Sharing roles in the back, she

yards and rushed 13 times for 55 yards.

Wark completed 19 of 28 for 127 yards with one interception. Peter Nguyen caught 10 passes for 78 yards and Persuitti two for 32. The Raiders doubleand triple-teamed Nystrom after his 16-catch game the week before and held him to one catch. The attention to him freed up other receivers.

On the ground, DJ Koch gained 52 yards in 11 carries.

After capturing their fifth consecutive Suburban East Conference championship with a 9-0 record, Mounds View opened defense of its Section 4AA title by defeating Totino-Grace 7-0 on Thursday. The Mustangs, 14-6 overall with eight straight wins, are the defending champion and top seed.

The lineup is headed by Katerina Smiricinschi in singles and the doubles teams of Amanda Diao/Avery Schifsky and Annabelle Huang/ Shae Crockarell. In the semifinals on Monday, the Mustangs will host White Bear Lake while No. 2 Roseville Area hosts Mahtomedi. The finals will be held Wednesday at Lifetime Fitness in White Bear Lake, 1:30 p.m.

Mounds View placed fourth among 24 teams, led by eighth-grader Linnea Ousdigian in third place, at the Lions Invitational in Alexandra on Saturday. Top five teams were St. Paul Highland Park with 78, Alexandria 134, Edina 150, Mounds View 153 and Becker 156. Ousdigian hit the chute in 18:30, trailing only Luna Scorzelli of Highland Park (17:52) and Marissa Long of Chanhassen (18:18), both juniors. The Mustangs also had senior Taylor Isabel in 18th place (19:33), junior Lauren Kath 25th (19:57), sophomore Kate Roeberg 50th (20:36) and senior Lauren Isabel 57th (20:44) among 167 runners.

Mounds View has a 6-11 record overall, 2-4 in the Suburban East.

Last week, the Mustangs edged White Bear Lake 25-13, 25-19, 16-25, 21-25, 15-11 on Tuesday. Woodbury beat the Mustangs 25-23, 25-17,15-25, 26-24 on Thursday.

Sophia Ohmann leads offensively with 10 goals. Co-captains Jess Eischens and Emily Johnson have seven each, and Yazzy Abed six.

“Our team chemistry is building each game, and our goals can come from a number of players, and (different) plays on the field, both within the run of play and set pieces,” Fast said.

“The girls are competing with a grit about them and peaking at the right time as we are in our final week before sections.”

The Mustangs will likely be seeded second in Section 5AAA. The first two rounds will be held Tuesday and Thursday.

Mounds View finished 3-5-1 in the Suburban East Conference, for sixth place among 10 teams, after a pair of losses last week, to Roseville Area 2-1 and Woodbury 4-0. The Mustangs were 5-7-2 overall with one match left in the regular season. Stillwater was champion with an 8-1 record, followed

SHOREVIEW PRESS www.presspubs.com

OCTOBER 11, 2022

An inspiring story of ingenuity and can-do spirit that holds valuable lessons for every budding entrepreneur on topics like employee engagement, customer satisfaction, productmarket fit, sales, working with bankers and lawyers, and quality management. “Bootstrap Entrepreneur” is a must-read for leaders seeking inspiration, founders looking for ideas, and for anyone who enjoys a fascinating story about American ingenuity and can-do spirit.

BY NOELLE OLSON SHOREVIEW PRESS EDITOR

Press Publications recently interviewed Shoreview resident John Miller about his book, “Bootstrap Entrepreneur: How Grit, Faith, and Help from a Chippewa Tribe Built a Technology Company — A Business Memoir.” Miller recalls how his company became a success.

Turtle Mountain Corporation (TMC) started in North Dakota in 1974 by manufacturing computer memory.

A few years later it pivoted to manufacturing a variety of electronic components and equipment for large customers like IBM, Honeywell and 3M.

Q: What do you hope readers will gain from “Bootstrap Entrepreneur?”

A: I hope readers will gain from my experience. The book details a lot

Q: Tell us a little about yourself.

A: I am 87 years old and live in Shoreview. I was born and raised in Underwood, North Dakota. I studied mechanical engineering at North Dakota State University and received a reserve officer commission in the U.S. Army.

Starting in 1958, at a time when the Twin Cities region was the world’s foremost technology hub, I spent a decade with UNIVAC where I led engineering and manufacturing teams for groundbreaking computer designs commissioned by the U.S. Navy. I joined a new technology startup, Atron and started Turtle Mountain Corporation (TMC) with one customer, an end-of-life product, and no capital. Weathering a recession, inflation, and upheavals

of challenges for entrepreneurs.

Q: Where can Press readers find the book?

A: The book is available online at Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

The book can also be ordered everywhere books are sold in multiple formats — hardcover, paperback, eBook and Audible.

Q: Do you have plans for future books?

A: No. This is my first and last book.

Shoreview Press Editor Noelle Olson can be reached at shoreviewnews@ presspubs.com or 651-407-1229.

CONTRIBUTED

John Miller

in the tech industry, the company earned the trust of major customers like IBM, Honeywell, and 3M and created hundreds of jobs for a generation of families on and around the Turtle Mountain Reservation. In 2000, I sold my business for close to $20 million. I was also inducted into the North Dakota Entrepreneur Hall of Fame in 2004. My wife, Pat, passed away at age 83, was my college sweetheart and we have three children — Lisa, Mike and Kristin.

Also, we have eight grandchildren — Dylan Wheeler, Morgan Grace Kelly, Mitchell John Wheeler, Lexi Wheeler, Rachel Miller, Casey Miller, Ryann Kelly and Taylor Ann Kelly.

Q: What inspired you to write this book?

A: Friends and family encouraged me to write a book. Eventually I thought I might have a good story.

I needed a ghostwriter and found Christina Schweighofer, an awardwinning journalist and memoir ghostwriter in Los Angeles. She helps people turn their life and business stories into inspiring books.
