Mounds View Public Schools received one grant for Irondale High School from the Legislature’s school safety grants passed during the 2018 session; all of its other requests for other schools, totaling about $1.14 million, were not granted. The Legislature approved $25 million in school safety grants but a total of $255.5 million in requests were made, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. High-priority projects were given preference and then chosen at random until the $25 million had been assigned. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety’s Minnesota School Safety Center helped to determine high-priority projects. High-priority projects were defined as improvements to exterior entry security and communication systems. Half of the funds were designated for schools outside the 11-county metropolitan area. Irondale was one of 123 school buildings across the state to receive grants. About 1,000 schools made requests.

SHOREVIEW — A young man was touring a Greco luxury apartment building in Minneapolis’s North Loop a few weeks ago but decided it was a bit too far from his job at Boston Scientific in Arden Hills.
He was redirected to Greco’s newest luxury apartment building in Shoreview’s corporate park, Loden SV, just across Lexington Avenue from his job. And he was sold on the place — a recreation of Greco’s urban lifestyle for the suburbs. In the lobby, there are lattes and espresso available 24/7 from the apart-

On Monday morning, head across the parking lot with us to the Shoreview Community Center, where 68 new citizens from 26 countries take the Oath of Citizenship during a Naturalization Ceremony presented by Ramsey County Library, the city of Shoreview and the Shoreview Human Rights Commission. Meanwhile, a horde of preschoolers from the Community Center walks over to the library for Family Storytime. Our children’s librarian gathers a crowd of almost 100 excited children (and their grownups) for songs, stories and fun. In the afternoon, you’ll find a group of teens in the teen room, deeply engrossed in strategy games during the library’s Game Night Unplugged. But the busy day is not over yet.

EmpowerSurvivors hosts conference to help child sexual abuse victims heal BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER
Research by the Centers for Disease Control estimates that one of every four girls and every six boys have been sexually abused. Stillwater resident and EmpowerSurvivors founder Elizabeth Sullivan, however, is confident that number is even higher. “When it comes to trauma, and child sexual abuse especially, a lot of times, people stay silent because they take on all the blame and shame of things that weren’t their fault,” she said. Sullivan knows fi rsthand how difficult coming forward can be. A survivor herself, she was sexually abused as a child by multiple people. “I had done what a lot of survivors do, which was to separate myself from the person that was abused,” she recounted. “I basically disassociated from who I was during the childhood years that I was being sexually abused.” That disassociation is a common response to trauma of any kind, particularly sexual trauma, but it often manifests itself through various other issues later in life. Sullivan was in her early 40s when she started experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), triggered by a wave of news stories about sex abuse in the Catholic church. “When triggered, I ended up with an influx of fl ashbacks, intrusive thoughts and nightmares that basically forced me to deal with the sexual abuse that I hadn’t dealt with as a kid.” As she embarked on her own healing journey, Sullivan realized how pervasive of a problem child sexual abuse is. She founded EmpowerSurvivors, now a nonprofit organization, to help other adult survivors. Sullivan fused the words on purpose to emphasize her mission. “It’s all one word, because it has to go to together. We have to empower survivors. … We need to have a safe place where survivors can come.” Through services like in-person and online groups, peer-to-peer coaching and classes, EmpowerSurvivors offers a range of support to child sexual abuse survivors, nearly all of whom are adults. “When these men and women come through the door, I don’t see the men and women; I see the

EmpowerSurvivors, located at 1940 Greeley St. S., Suite 210, offers a range of services for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Support groups and peer-to-peer coaching are among its most popular offerings.
Building a Better Community through Charitable Giving By connecting the generosity of people with the evolving needs of Shoreview, the Shoreview Community Foundation enriches our quality of life. The Foundation provides grants according to predetermined guidelines to non-profit organizations or units of governmental from its permanent endowment fund. There are many options for making undesignated or designated, tax deductible gifts or bequests by will or trust.

children inside them,” Sullivan said. “They’re looking for that love to be seen and heard.” On Saturday, Nov. 3, EmpowerSurvivors will host Giving Voice, a conference that aims to connect survivors, community members and mental health professionals. “The idea is to get survivors to come together to come out of the shadows and also support the ones that are still silent,” Sullivan said. “We want community members to come and learn and be able to recognize the signs and symptoms of childhood sexual abuse... and then all work together on prevention.” The conference features a trio of guest speakers. Stacy Coulter, the mother of a survivor, will talk about her book “Blindfolds and Pitchforks: Don’t Be a Child Molester’s Flying Monkey.” Therapist Jody M. Goldie will discuss how early trauma affects neurological, attachment styles and physiology, as well as how particular modes of therapy can facilitate healing from such trauma. Finally, a local survivor will share his story of struggling with—and eventually healing from—child sexual abuse. Sullivan hopes that Giving Voice, alongside EmpowerSurvivors’ day-to-day programming, will help sexual abuse survivors realize that they are not alone. “No matter what age you are, healing is always possible. Right now, I know, there are so many survivors sitting there watching (news) reports, and they’re triggered,” she said. “I want to get the message out there that you’re not alone. People do care. We see you and hear you, and we’re here for you.” Giving Voice will be held at the Grand Banquet Hall, 301 Second St., Stillwater. Tickets are $55

County family sponsorship program seeks holiday donors To help ensure more Ramsey County families thrive during this time of year, Volunteer Services’ Family Sponsorship Program matches community sponsors with families in need. Families, individuals, groups and workplaces are invited to sponsor a family this holiday season. The Family Sponsorship Program serves families who are receiving Ramsey County social services and are identified by social workers as needing extra help with food and gifts during the holiday season. Children in these families have often experienced varying degrees of abuse or neglect and have developmental or other disabilities. Some families are refugees, while others are single parents or grandparents — all are struggling to provide necessities for the children in their care. Sponsors get the opportunity to personally shop and wrap gifts for their matched family. The sponsor provides the family with at least one clothing item per child, one toy item per child, a parent gift and a grocery gift certificate. Anyone interested in sponsoring a family should email humanservicesvolunteer@ramseycounty. us or call 651-266-4090 no later than Friday, Nov. 2.

T
he trick–or-treat holiday is here. A few tips for this day include costume safety, children being accompanied by an adult, using cross walks, and keeping costumes from obstructing sights and sounds. The American Academy of Pediatrics website has tips and suggestions, such as adding reflective tape to costumes, buying flame resistant costumes, making sure costume accessories like swords and sticks are not sharp or dangerous, and never using decorative contact lenses, which are dangerous and actually illegal without a prescription. Review emergency plans with children like how to call 911 if they have an emergency or call if they become lost. If you’re Publisher’s home out driving, pay extra attention in our neighborhoods. As always, it’s View best to inspect all your candy, esCarter Johnson pecially handmade goods. If you’re passing out candy, make sure your yard and walkway is free of objects and well lit. Let’s make this Halloween a safe one. Voter Guide More than ever, it is important for every eligible citizen to get out and vote. To do this, one needs to understand what seats are open and who the candidates are. Another challenge if you’re new to the community is where to vote? Is it at the library, city or town hall, or local school? Once you’re in the booth, who will you be voting for? With people having limited time, it can be hard to get out to debates, one must find other ways to get an understanding of each candidate’s position on the issues. Here at Press Publications, our staff works hard to provide a comprehensive Voter Guide with candidate profiles and election locations. These profiles are available online or in print. If you need a copy, swing by our office or visit our website at www.presspubs.com. Voting is a right and it’s important that every eligible citizen cast their vote. The future of our community and schools depends on you and needs your support. Please do your part and vote Nov. 6. Community events One of our fastest growing sections of the paper in popularity is “What’s Happening.” Each week in our calendar pages we strive to give you a diverse listing of community events locally and throughout the region. We make every effort to publish submitted calendar items that meet our guidelines for two weeks leading up to the date of the event, as space allows. Priority is given to events that are open to the public and most likely to appeal to a majority of our readers. Calendar listings are free, and may include time, location, brief details, and contact information, such as a website, where readers can go to get more information. Event information for the printed paper can be e-mailed to us at calendar@presspubs.com. In addition, event organizers can submit information to the online calendar on our website. As of now, it is a separate process for submitting events for the “What’s Happening” section in the paper and the website. To submit online, you first have to create a user name and then you can submit your event. Our news staff reviews the events twice weekly for content and approval. For some events it may be beneficial to publish more detailed information or run them in the paper for a few specific weeks or for a longer period of time than the calendar pages allow. If that is the case, please invest in an advertisement by calling 651407-1200. If you have questions about the calendar guidelines or how to submit event information, please send an email or call 651-407-1226. Fall subscriber campaign As we finish up the fall subscriber campaign, I would like to say thank you to the many new and renewing subscribers. It’s because of you that we are able to keep staff and professional journalists cranking out important local news each week.

Loss of local newspapers threatens democracy
I
f you’re reading this column in your local newspaper, congratulations! Just by skimming your eyeballs over this page, whether it’s in print or online, you’re doing a vital service for your hometown, and for democracy as a whole. (Go ahead and take the rest of the day off.) It’s no secret that local journalism is in trouble, and has been for quite some Movers and time. According to a 2017 report Shakers from the Pew Research Center, Lata Nott the weekday circulation for U.S. d il newspapers has been on the daily decline for 28 consecutive years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics notes that between 1990 and 2016, the number of news- paper employees in the U.S. declined from 456,300 to 183,000. Despite the vitriol that publications like The New York Times and The Washington Post attract from the Trump administration, it’s not the national news media outlets that we need to worry about. Their subscription numbers are on the rise. It’s the smaller newspapers that serve local markets that are suffering. Many are chronically understaffed. Some have shuttered altogether. A map created by the Columbia Journalism Review re-
veals that communities all across the United States have been “left with no daily local news outlet at all.” What’s the cause of all these news deserts? It’s the Internet (to paraphrase the Simpsons, “the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems”). Local newspapers lost print subscriptions when people started reading the news online (and came to expect it to be free). They lost another major source of revenue when their classified sections were supplanted by Craigslist. Their digital editions have to compete for eyeballs and advertising revenue with websites that traffic in national scandals, political commentary and cat videos. This isn’t just a financial hardship for your local newspaper. According to a new paper co-authored by three professors of finance, it’s a financial hardship for your entire town. The researchers looked at cities that lost newspapers between 1996 and 2015, and found that within three years of a newspaper’s closure, the costs for municipal bonds and revenue bonds increased for these cities. Here’s how they explained the connection: “Revenue bonds are commonly issued to finance local projects such as schools and hospitals, and are backed by the reve- nues generated by those projects...These bonds are rarely regulated by the state government. A local newspaper provides an ideal monitoring agent
for these revenue-generating projects, as mismanaged projects can be exposed by investigative reporters employed by the local newspaper. When a newspaper closes, this monitoring mechanism also ceases to exist, leading to a greater risk that the cash flows generated by these projects will be mismanaged.” In other words, local newspapers provide a public good, one that can be measured in dollars and cents. The problem is that today’s marketplace doesn’t really reward them for this. A listicle about amazing dogs will always generate more advertising revenue than coverage of a city finance committee meeting. (You know which one you’re more likely to click on. Just admit it to yourself and move on.) But the latter article could actually prevent municipal corruption. Even if no one reads it, public officials are more likely to behave ethically when they know they’re being monitored. As citizens, we tend to take this effect for granted. Maybe we need to stop thinking about our local newspapers as businesses that need to turn a profit and start thinking about them as utilities that we need to finance for our own good.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear community of Shoreview North Oaks Children’s Hospital Guild II recently completed another successful rummage sale at the Shoreview Ice Arena. We want to thank you community members, the city of Shoreview, the Shoreview Community Center, Ramsey County Recreation Department and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office for your support and accommodations. With the success of our 20th annual sale we have been able, since 1996, to contribute $2.3 million to the Children’s Hospitals. The rummage sale over the 20 years has accounted for $1.8 million. Our efforts have supported programs for autistic children, children with mental health challenges, those with diabetes, and families to obtain critical care when they don’t have adequate insurance to meet their child’s health care needs at the Children’s Hospitals. We know our sale’s traffic disrupts some of your routes and parking. We have and will continue to work with the multiple community services to ease the impact on you as a community. The majority of our membership is from Shoreview, Arden Hills, White Bear Lake and North Oaks. Likewise, the majority of our customers are from these same communities. We know Children’s Hospitals serve these communities and the region. We appreciate and thank you for supporting our work to make a difference one child at a time. Antoinette Monster, President North Oaks Children’s Hospital Guild II
Insanity or decency? For the past 40 years, Americans’ earning power declined relative to basic requirements; divisiveness escalated to where, supposedly, half of us hate the other half. This will continue if we support the same party which fomented this. One party wants to “purify” America with unconstitutionally forcing religious beliefs into law and has increasingly campaigned on fear and hatred, culminating in the “election” of Trump. Read Pulitzer Prize-winning David Johnston’s “The Making of Donald Trump” and Michael Lewis’ “The Fifth Risk” for shattering details on this con man who wants your support this election. In 2007, Nixon’s Watergate lawyer, Dean, ended his “Broken Government” with this quote from a “lifelong” Republican: “People should not vote for any Republican because they’re dangerous, dishonest and self-serving … Democrats really do care about people … Republicans care most about those who will only get richer … another four years … heaven forbid eight … under Republicans … our grandchildren will have to build a new government, because the one we have will be unrecognizable and unworkable.” In 2012, highly respected Mann-Ornstein’s “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks” said Republicans were “outliers.” In 2018, longtime Republican Peter Wehner posted (8/25): “Mr. Trump’s corruptions have become (Republicans).” The Republican Supreme Court majority passed corrupt “Citizens United” and “Shelby County” rulings, which exacerbated the “Dark Money” electoral corruption and discriminatory laws. Minnesota Republicans cut taxes so schools and infrastructure are underfunded; now regressive property taxes are required. They’ve sent illegal monster multi-subject bills to the governor. They continue to campaign on the same failed ideology. We all should question why people’s minds are poisoned by TV-talk radio-crazed internet blogs repeating lies and hatred and successful Russian attempts to build on this. Why are we ready to believe the worst, without documentation? Do you want a government that “promote(s) the general welfare,” or that tells you it’ll “clean up the swamp”— then makes it worse; that works for the lower 99 percent, or cuts top 1 percent taxes; that solves problems rationally, or by radical ideology; that treats people with dignity and respect, or fear and hatred? Tom Dolen Shoreview
Re-elect Becker-Finn Remember when the Minnesota Department of Human Services had a major backlog of elder abuse complaints, new people were hired and the problem was taken care of? After that, the AARP put together a series of proposals to prevent elder abuse in our nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Representative Jamie Becker-Finn advocated for these reforms, such as licensing assisted living facilities, but the Republicans would not even give a hearing to these proposals. Democrats, including Jamie Becker-Finn, tried to bring these reforms up for debate on the House floor, but the Republicans actually refused to even debate it (5/1/2018, House Journal 9931). After lobbying by the nursing home industry who obviously doesn’t want new regulation, the GOP only passed some minor legislation,
some of which elder advocates say actually take us backwards. So, when candidates talk about who is advocating for senior citizens, it is Jamie Becker-Finn. We need to get her re-elected. Susan Rengstorf Shoreview
The choice is clear In the race to succeed Rep. Matt Dean in House District 38A, Patti Anderson is the clear choice for voters who want a results-oriented legislator with an extensive background in both business and public policy. She is an accomplished entrepreneur who has built and run multiple successful business enterprises, creating jobs and boosting the economy. She knows fi rsthand what it means to craft a budget, meet payroll and navigate the state’s burdensome regulatory scheme. Patti is also an experienced public servant, having been elected a city councilor, mayor and state auditor. Her broad experience and record of accomplishment in the public arena is exactly what we need in an era when rhetoric has too often replaced results. Among her accomplishments, she is best known for having eliminated the very department she was appointed to lead. In 2008, as the commissioner of the Department of Employee Relations, she successfully eliminated the department, merging some functions with other departments and eliminating unnecessary ones. I have known Patti Anderson for over 20 years. She is hardworking, results-oriented, collaborative and principled. I encourage my neighbors in North Oaks to send her to the Minnesota House. Christopher J. DeLaForest North Oaks
Turn over the ballot, vote for judge Be sure to turn over the ballot. So many people may not vote for judicial candidates because we don’t hear or know much about them. We would like you to know about Judge Robyn Ann Millenacker, who is running for re-election in Ramsey County. As an incumbent, she is already well known to be hard working, experienced and fair. Millenacker is a former prosecutor and a current judge who has experience in criminal law, civil law and family law. She has also educated and worked on reducing the problem of sex trafficking in Minnesota. As a parent of four and an active community member, she has all of our best interests at heart and hand. So do turn over your ballot and do join us in voting for the judge you now know something about — Judge Robyn Ann Millenacker. Deanne and Andy Hulcher Shoreview
Re-elect Judge Millenacker It is my honor to write in support of re-electing Judge Robyn Millenacker to the Ramsey County District Court. Appointed in 2010 and re-elected in 2012, Judge Millenacker has shown herself as professional, hardworking, smart and committed to impartial justice for all those in her courtroom. Earning her law degree at the University of Minnesota Law School, she began her career at a large national law fi rm. For over 15 years, she prosecuted criminal felonies and litigated complex civil cases. Prior to her appointment on the bench, she worked as an Assistant U.S. Attorney. As Judge Robyn Millenacker, she has handled all manner of cases that come before the court — civil, criminal, family and probate. In addition to being Judge Millenacker, she is a wife and mom with a passion for staying involved in the community. Judge Millenacker has worked to improve justice in Ramsey County on several fronts. Her work on the issue of sex trafficking of minors has made her a frequent speaker and educator throughout the region. She is committed to the improvement of the judiciary and is a frequent speaker at judicial conferences. Please join me in voting for Judge Robyn Millenacker. She is making a difference. Lyn Underdahl North Oaks
Kelly Moller will represent women and children I have found these past few years in politics to be incredibly disheartening. I am a Shoreview resident, a woman, and mother of three. My children are very young, and I have already begun to dread the dangers they may encounter while pursuing an education — even though we live in a fantastic school district. My daughter is 3 years old, yet I fear for her safety in a world where the president of the
United States can openly mock a survivor of sexual assault and be applauded rather than condemned. I am a military spouse and I feel less and less that this country represents me, my values or is protecting my rights. Moller is a voice for women and children advocating for them through her support of gun violence prevention. She is actively serving on Shoreview’s public safety committee. Kelly Moller has served for 20 years as an attorney supporting victims of sexual assault. It gives me hope when I see women like Kelly Moller stepping forward to be a voice for those in this country who no longer seem to matter to the broader leadership. Moller is someone I can proudly stand behind, and I hope you will too. Anna Riechers Shoreview
Moller will support local schools Our local public schools won’t see a bigger supporter than Kelly Moller. As two teacher leaders living or working in the Mounds View School District, we support Kelly because she is more than talking points. Kelly has listening points. Early in her campaign, she sat down with each of us, not to tell us about her education platform, but to hear from us and learn more about what our students and schools need. Kelly listened. She researched our ideas. She visited schools. Our thoughts became part of her agenda. Kelly Moller is the person we need representing us and students in House District 42A. She is a leader who brings people together to help make our community better. Denise Specht, president of Education Minnesota Stacey Vanderport, president of the Mounds View Education Association
18-year-old voting Springhorn for City Council Voting is an exciting time, especially for new voters like me. I am an 18-year-old college student voting for the fi rst time this year. I will be voting to re-elect Cory Springhorn to the Shoreview City Council. I fi rst met Cory when I was in fourth grade and he was one of the coaches for my robotics team. Back then, I was impressed by his ability to lead people, encourage others and stay committed. Today, he continues to inspire and remain a positive leader in our community. Before and during his term on the council, Cory got young people engaged in city matters — when coaching my team, he invited the Shoreview Bikeways and Trails Committee to one of our practices, where we presented our research project on bike safety to them, and he has often invited robotics teams to City Council meetings to present their research about real-world issues. While serving on the City Council, Cory has also continued to volunteer for robotics programs as a tournament official and as a coach for local teams. Cory actively reaches out to young eligible voters like me, encouraging us to register to vote and to request absentee ballots while we’re away at college. Please join me in voting to re-elect Cory Springhorn to Shoreview City Council. Amy Helgeson Shoreview
Elect Judge Hilgers I confidently recommend Judge DeAnne Hilgers for the position of Ramsey County Judge. I have known Judge Hilgers for over 30 years. We both grew up in northern Ramsey County and graduated from Mounds View High School together, where we both served on the school newspaper staff. She is a hardworking individual with solid leadership skills. Judge Hilgers is an ethical leader who shows respect for all, listens to them attentively and considers all viewpoints before making decisions. Judge Hilgers exemplifies a highly competent judge who will serve our community well. I hope you will join me and offer your support to keep Judge Hilgers so she can continue to serve the citizens of Ramsey County with the highest levels of fairness, compassion and justice. Lisa Wedell Ueki Shoreview
Moller and Becker-Finn to protect our natural resources I support Kelly Moller for the Minnesota House of Representatives in House District 42A and Jamie Becker-Finn for re-election in House District 42B because of their support for Minnesota’s natural resources. Kelly and Jamie are great candidates for lots of reasons, but the environment is one of my top SEE LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, PAGE 9

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:
North Oaks • Homeowners in the 100 block of West Pleasant Lake Road called 911 Oct. 3 regarding coyotes in their backyard and were cautioned about child and pet safety and the removal of any pet food from the area in question. • The theft of a Camilla Roma purse was the result of a vehicle break-in the morning of Oct. 4 in the 100 block of Village Center Drive. The loss was estimated at $100. • A password manager was compromised Oct. 9 on a local man’s computer and a suspect obtained information on various accounts. Approximately $40,000 went missing from a digital currency account using a Seattle-based IP address. An investigation continues. • Realizing they had been scammed, a Mallard Road couple reported receiving a call Oct.17 from a person who identified himself as working for Microsoft. The suspect gave the 63-year old woman “a list of computer parts to be purchased and installed remotely.” The loss totaled $5,500. • A tire was slashed overnight Oct. 20 on a vehicle parked in the 100 block of West Pleasant Lake Road.
Shoreview • A local woman attempted to purchase tickets to an event advertised on Craigslist and wired money on Oct. 2 to a Zelle account. The 39-year-old never received the tickets and the suspect will not return phone calls. The loss was $480. • A mom reported that she has received phone calls the past four nights from a caller who says he has her son and he needs money. She has not heard from her son. A deputy attempted to reach the caller on Oct. 2 but the phone is shut off. An investigation continues. • A purse belonging to an 85-year-old woman was stolen overnight Oct. 3 from an unlocked vehicle parked in the 600 block of Woodland Drive. The loss included credit cards and $24 in cash, along with regular purse stuff. • A New Richmond, Wisconsin, resident came all the way to the intersection of Hodgson and Snail Lake roads Oct. 6 to be stopped for speeding and crossing the fog line. The 32-year-old man
had difficulty with the blood-alcohol test while admitting to consuming two pints of beer. He was charged with gross-misdemeanor second-degree DWI, no proof of insurance and second-degree blood-alcohol test refusal as well as for speeding before his trip to jail.
• An attempt to stop a car for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle in the 1000 block of Dennison Avenue went awry the morning of Oct. 14 when the offender sped away at speeds clocked at more than 100 miles per hour. At that point deputies discontinued the chase.
•A resident in the 1000 block of Glenhill Road complained Oct. 7 that a neighbor had an “offensive and threatening” sign facing his home. The neighbor, while arguing that he was “exercising his constitutional rights,” agreed to remove the sign. The subject of the sign was not noted in the police report.
• A Birchwood Street resident reported the theft of his red Dodge Durango with the keys inside from his driveway overnight Oct. 16.
• Deputies responded to a family’s request for a welfare check in the 700 block of County Road F (date not provided), finding a 79-year-old female who was too ill to answer her door but could answer her phone. The resident gave deputies the okay to crowbar open the door. The woman was deemed in need of medical help and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
• An opossum was reported meandering down the walking trail near Park View Drive the afternoon of Oct. 17. The critter was relocated to a wooded area by an animal control officer.
• Responding to a report of a domestic assault the morning of Oct. 10 in the 5300 block of Hodgson Road, deputies found a man and a woman, both 31 and from Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin. The woman had two black eyes and a large knot on her forehead. The man was cited for fi fth-degree assault. • Following an Oct. 11 argument on Owasso Street, a boyfriend, age 2l, took his 23-year-old girlfriend’s phone, pushed her and fled with their young child, according to Mom. An investigation continues. • Mutual combatants mixed it up Oct. 12 in the 4100 block of Shirlee Lane. The boyfriend, age 54, and the girlfriend, age 39, remain under investigation. • A package valued at $30 was delivered to the 4300 block of Vivian Lane the afternoon of Oct. 12 and left on the front steps. A thief picked it up. • A wallet went missing from an unsecured locker at the Shoreview Community Center in the 4500 block of Victoria Street the evening of Oct. 13. Locker room video show four unidentified males entering or leaving the room around the time of the theft. The amount of the loss is unknown. • A girl was walking her yellow Lab in the 5900 block of Lexington Avenue Oct. 13 when the Lab was attacked by a canine described only as black and white. The suspect dog and its owner left the scene without providing contact information. The injured animal required surgery, which set the owners back $800.
• Burglars made off with a PS4 Macbook Pro and two pair of shoes Oct. 16 in the 3200 block of North Owasso Boulevard. The 22-year-old male victim has given deputies suspect information.
• An iPod, a leaf blower and hand tools were stolen during a garage burglary in the 4300 block of Snail Lake Boulevard that occurred overnight Oct. 18. How the prowler gained entry was not reported. • A Brigadoon Drive resident called the Apple store in Roseville for some information the morning of Oct. 20. A recording directed her to call a number listed on a website. When she did that, a person instructed her to purchase gift cards and report the numbers. She did that but was suspicious and called the Apple store back. This time, she received a recording advising her of the scam. Her loss totaled $4,700. • Copper tubing and fittings were stolen overnight Oct. 21 from a storage barn in the 900 block of County Road F. The loss was estimated at $10,000. • A deputy on routine patrol the morning of Oct. 21 in the area of Gramsie Road and Lexington Avenue observed an adult male yelling at people nearby. He yelled at the deputy as well, while making “shooting gestures.” The 37-year-old was booked into jail on a disorderly conduct charge. • A 2006 black Saturn Vue went missing overnight Oct. 21 from an address in the 3500 block of Owasso Street. The complainant believes someone took a spare key for the vehicle during a party at the residence the previous day. An investigation continues. • A 55-year-old Lexington Avenue resident reported that a friend, now a former friend, stole her trailer the week of Oct. 14, and on Oct. 21 came back and took her air conditioner and her child’s bike. Information on the suspect has been given to deputies.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 issues. In the last few years we’ve seen the Legislature chip away at key environmental protections and funding sources, and then miss out on opportunities to do better. For example, the Legislature refused to ban lead shot for hunting in state wildlife management areas (WMAs) despite a proposal to do so by Jamie Becker-Finn. When the Dayton administration proposed increasing our very successful Renewable Energy Standard to 50 percent by 2030, the Legislature did not even give the idea a hearing. Both Kelly and Jamie are endorsed by MN350, the leading advocacy group in the state on climate change, as well as the Sierra Club. They both support increasing our Renewable Energy Standard, and they recognize the tremendous business opportunity this represents. Minnesota’s rural economy has improved greatly in areas with wind power and among the fastest growing jobs in America are wind energy technicians. It’s not jobs vs. the environment—protecting the environment creates jobs and saves money. Please join me in supporting our environment and clean energy on election day by voting for Kelly Moller and Jamie Becker-Finn. Suzanne McGaugh Arden Hills
The leader we need right now We are fed up with all the phone calls, TV ads and mailers for this November’s election. Since a lot of all this negative stuff is paid for by outside groups and political parties and the local candidates can’t coordinate with them, I thought the best way to talk about a great candidate is to share my own personal experience. Kelly Moller is a friend of mine. Our sons are in athletics together. When she said last year that she was thinking about running for office, I thought this is someone we want representing us. Kelly is tough. She is a prosecutor in the Hennepin County Attorney’s office focused on bringing people to justice and protecting victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Kelly has conviction. I am tired of smooth-talking politicians who don’t tell you what they really think. If you ask her what she thinks on an issue, she will give you a straight answer, listen respectfully if you disagree, and perhaps learn from you. Kelly has integrity. Kelly inspires. So many of us who know her offered to help her, because she brings out the best in others. Many politicians have an agenda about what is good for them. Kelly is interested in what helps all of us. Please join me in supporting Kelly Moller for the House of Representatives in District 42A Kim Sacay Shoreview
Support Randy Jessup for representative Our state representative, Randy Jessup, has a strong record of working across the aisle to get things done for our community. In fact, Randy’s bipartisan credentials have drawn the attention of labor/unions and business groups in his bid for re-election this fall. It’s not so often you find a lawmaker who has the support of both labor and business. Randy has been endorsed for re-election by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 110, North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters, International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 49, the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce and the National Federation of Independent Business. Both labor and business understand and agree that Randy is getting things done for Minnesota and that he is a leader who can bring people and competing interests together. I support Randy for many of those same reasons. Randy knows that his highest responsibility is to carry the collective interests of the people of District 42A to the Capitol. He listens to us, he hears us, and he gets the job done. Vote for Randy on Nov. 6. Susan Murphy Shoreview
Doug Wardlow will stand up to welfare fraudsters Are you aware that tens of millions of dollars have been stolen from Minnesota’s childcare-benefit program by welfare fraudsters? Some of this cash has funded al-Shabaab — a terror group in direct combat with American soldiers in the Horn of Africa. The Minnesota Attorney General is specifically granted authority in our law to go after welfare
fraud. We need an attorney general who will stop playing politics and put the people fi rst. Doug Wardlow is the Minnesota values candidate for attorney general who will shake up St. Paul. As a U.S. Marine’s son, Doug grew up learning the value of faith, family and hard work. He’s at church on Sundays with his wife Jenny and three young children, and he’s early to work on Mondays. Doug’s work as an attorney speaks for itself. Doug spent his legal career fighting for our most important constitutional rights like free speech, as well as fighting against China’s unfair trade practices in litigation on behalf of American steel producers. These aren’t campaign pledges. For Doug, this is his professional life. And Doug Wardlow will go after welfare fraud — which is the attorney general’s job — once he is elected. To shake up St. Paul and put ordinary Minnesotans fi rst, vote Doug Wardlow for Minnesota Attorney General. Lois G. Foltz Shoreview
Great local folks I am thankful for the hard-working local politicians that represent and lead our communities with dignity and honor. Mayor Nelson (North Oaks), and Mayor Martin (Shoreview) have served our communities for many years. They lead with consistent energy, listening to community members, then responding by establishing consensus on the issues. I am also thankful for the energy of a new local candidate for us in the Legislature — Patti Anderson. I visited briefly with Patti at a local grocery store in the coffee aisle a few months ago. She had a smile on her face, sparkle in her eyes, and about 15 significant business items requiring attention “now.” Her positive demeanor was wonderfully infectious. Yes, the issues are important too, but the lifelong energy of Patti Anderson is evident in her resume. I discovered that it began with a high school job at the A&W restaurant in Forest Lake. I bet she was fast on them roller skates. This election, I look forward to voting for the energy of Patti Anderson. David Ellis North Oaks
Voting absentee on climate change from Iceland I’m a Mounds View High School graduate and current college junior studying abroad in Greenland and Iceland. This semester, I have taken classes in climate science to understand the full effects of climate change on terrestrial, marine and freshwater ecosystems, as well as on human life and well-being. We spent two weeks in Greenland in September, where we visited climate research stations and saw the Greenland Ice Sheet. This ice sheet, if completely melted, will cause a global sea level rise of seven meters, as well as other natural weather-related catastrophes. Many elected officials don’t appreciate the large environmental and economic impacts of climate change. We have reduced coal emissions in Minnesota but there is more to do on energy efficiency, sequestering carbon in forests and farms, switching our vehicle fleets to non-fossil fuel sources, and innovating sustainable technological solutions. Although some solutions could be expensive, they will save us money and time in the near and distant future. If we plan well—as was done with the state’s renewable energy standard—we will continue to reduce our carbon emissions even as the economy grows. A few weeks ago, I voted absentee for Kelly Moller for the Minnesota House of Representatives. She has been endorsed by the Sierra Club and MN350 (the state’s leading climate action organization). State Rep. Jamie Becker-Finn, who represents southern Shoreview, is also MN350-endorsed. They know that the longer we wait, the more difficult and expensive it will be for my generation to deal with the damage. Megan Gardner Shoreview
ences and greed, a war where millions of soldiers, including 116,708 troops from the U.S. were killed and over 204,000 were wounded, peace was finally declared. However, since 1918, the U.S. has been almost continually at war in various parts of the world. The military budget is now almost $700 billion (fiscal year 2017) — over 64 percent of the total, dwarfing all other categories. Since 1942, our government has established over 800 military bases in 40 to 60 countries around the world (Wikipedia). The designation of Armistice Day was changed to “Veteran’s Day” in 1954. Evidently, waging peace is not on the “to-do” list. Ray Ruthenberg Shoreview
Jessup helps break cycle of sexual assaults I recently read the latest installment of the Star Tribune’s “Denied Justice” series of reports examining breakdowns in the investigation and prosecution of sexual assaults in Minnesota. This article, “Rejected by the Prosecution,” focused on the handling of rape allegations by Hennepin County and Ramsey County law enforcement agencies and attorneys’ offices. I am continually shocked and disturbed to read account after account of women who have been victimized by predators right here in the Twin Cities. Thankfully, state Rep. Randy Jessup is doing something to help break the cycle of abuse and exploitation. This past session, Randy worked with local students and DFL Rep. Laurie Pryor on bipartisan legislation that allows school districts to include sexual exploitation prevention instruction in health curriculum. The Minnesota Department of Education will be tasked with establishing age-appropriate instruction for use by school districts across our state. This legislation will work to educate young women and men about the dangers of sexual exploitation, how to identify it, how to prevent it, and how to get help from adults in their lives if it’s happening to them or someone they know, helping to break the cycle. Randy has proved time and time again that he has what it takes to bring people together, lead and pass legislation that protects our community. I strongly urge you to vote for him this November. Sharon Peterson Shoreview
Jessup upheld promise to try to eliminate SS income tax I usually enjoy seeing headlines that say Minnesota is at the top of a nationwide survey or study. But not this time. This month the popular finance website Kiplinger released its rankings of the best and worst states for taxes and ranked Minnesota as the least tax-friendly state in the United States. I was shocked to fi nd out that Minnesota’s lowest income tax rate of 5.35 percent is higher than the highest tax bracket in 23 states. I enjoy the quality of life we have in Minnesota and am willing to invest in that quality of life, but surely we don’t need to build our parks and trails on the backs of seniors’ Social Security income and take money from the middle class who are trying to make ends meet, especially with all the waste, fraud and abuse we see. Rep. Randy Jessup upheld his campaign promise to take on eliminating seniors’ Social Security income tax. While he could not get the other side of the aisle to agree on complete elimination, there has been a significant reduction. I have spoken to Jessup about this, and elimination of this tax remains a priority. Jessup has also fought to bring Minnesota into alignment with federal tax code changes, which have been estimated to save middle-class families over $2,000 a year. Unfortunately, this measure was vetoed by Gov. Dayton. Jessup has also said he wants to pursue the middle-class tax savings. Marleen Smith Shoreview
Armistice Day to Veteran’s Day On Nov. 11, 2018, we’ll recognize that day as the 100th anniversary of “Veteran’s Day.” Originally designated as Armistice Day, we now honor the veterans that fought and fight today instead of peace. Why should we care about something that occurred 100 years ago? One reason is that it ended the “Great War” — a “war to end all wars.” Didn’t quite work out that way. In 1918, after a brutal unnecessary war ignited by factions with ethnic hatred, religious differ-

LODEN SV: Bikes, scooters, paddleboards get residents into Shoreview’s outdoors FROM PAGE 1
apartment dwellers wouldn’t need a gym membership anymore. Part of the lifestyle is also social activities. The apartment is already planning cooking demonstrations and beer and wine tastings. In the summer, there will be yoga, lawn bowling leagues and pickleball in partnership with the Shoreview pickleball leagues, plus a pool, fire pit, outdoor kitchens and indoor/outdoor bar space that can be used by residents. There is a 12-seat theater inside that residents can use and hook up to their Netflix account.
Residents can use eight Loden-owned bikes, two paddleboards, a kayak and electric scooters on a first-come, first-served basis. The developer installed sidewalks to connect the apartments to trails on Lexington Avenue and Country Road F. Celebrating the outdoors in the Shoreview community, which is known for its extensive trail system, is an emphasis of Greco’s newest complex. Most of its recent luxury apartment projects have been in Minneapolis. There is a quarter-acre dog park on site, as well as a pet spa. The apartment plans to have a

mobile groomer a couple times a month. Residents can have up to two pets. “Thirty to forty percent of our residents typically have a pet of some sort,” Brandsted said. There is a co-working space in the lobby due to so many remote, flexible and work-at-home jobs these days and the fact that the apartment building is so close to several Fortune 500 companies, he added. Communitywide Wi-Fi is included.
All resident parking is inside the building. There are four types of units: studios starting at $1,200; one-bedroom units at $1,320; two-bedroom units at $1,800; and three-bedroom units for $2,350. Residents pay their own utilities. The building will cost $43 million to complete. The 206 units were 40 percent filled by opening day Oct. 19. Construction of the outdoor area will continue through next year. It is the largest outdoor space Greco has built with its urban lifestyle buildings, said Josh Caris, maintenance manager. A second 206-unit building,
estimated at another $43 million, will begin construction next summer. When completed, it will be Greco’s largest project. The building was designed by BKV Group architects and constructed by Frana. Canadian Douglas fir was used in the structure of the commons area to complement the woods to the east of the building and the surrounding Shoreview area. “We thought it was really important to bring those natural elements to this building,” Brandsted said. The apartment was developed by Greco in partnership with Eagle

Ridge, who owned the prior building on the site in Shoreview’s corporate park. It was the old location of Deluxe Corporation, which moved east down I-694 seven or eight years ago. The site has sat vacant since then. Eagle Ridge approached Greco about the possibility of an apartment community in 8-acre area amid the 35acre corporate park. At first, Greco wasn’t sure, Brandsted remembered. But after looking at the area with many employers close by, they took the leap. The young man looking for a trendy apartment building in the North Loop but with the desire to live close to Boston Scientific was all the confirmation they needed to ensure they made the right choice last month. Greco was founded by Arnie Gregory in 1992 — he was a pioneer in the North Loop and Northeast Minneapolis condo redevelopment and in 2008 Greco led the way in a resurgence of new apartments replacing old buildings in Uptown with its “Blue Apartments.” Many of Gregory’s friends and family are the investors in Loden SV; one is a Shoreview resident. “They believe in Shoreview and the outdoor recreation,” Brandsted said.

BUSINESS BRIEF Outstanding disability employer Kowalski’s Markets has been named an outstanding disability employer by Minnesota Organization for Habilitation and Rehabilitation (MOHR). Clients from Merrick are employed in six Kowalski’s Markets, including locations in White Bear Lake and Shoreview. The grocer was nominated by Merrick Inc., a Vadnais Heights nonprofit that provides life enrichment and employment support to 375 adults with intellectual or developmental disabilities. “The family-owned business was one of the fi rst grocers in the state of Minnesota to recognize the value added to their business when employing people with disabilities,” said John Wayne Barker, executive director of Merrick. The partnership began in 2000, with a Merrick crew at the Kowalski’s Woodbury location, and today the grocer employs 28 people with disabilities across six of its stores. Some are direct hires and others are on work crews. At the markets, clients from Merrick bag groceries, clean cafes, stock shelve, and work behind the scenes in the delis and kitchens.

Mustang boys cross county takes conference and section, eyes state BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Mounds View’s No. 3 ranked boys cross country team has captured conference and section championships by wide margins and is now focused on the state meet and beyond. The Mustangs, led by section individual champion Austin Streit, feel they are among the top contenders after placing fi fth last year. “I’d be disappointed if we were not at least top three at state,” said coach Ross Fleming. The Class AA boys race starts 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Olaf College in Northfield. At the sectional, Mustangs had four of the top five in posting a 21 score at Anoka High School on
Thursday, Oct. 25. St. Michael-Albertville (78) and Maple Grove (85) were next. Streit, returning all-stater, and Lukas Hessini finished 1-2 in 15:27 and 15:34, respectively. Both are seniors. Following were juniors Finn Sokolowski in fourth (15:56), Will Sacay fi fth (15:59) and Alec Nelson ninth (16:05). Also running strong were eighth-grader Elliott McArthur in 13th (16:19) and senior Nehemiah Gain 16th (16:33). In the conference meet, the Mustangs had the 2-3-4 runners, scoring 34 points to beat out No. 4 ranked Stillwater (68) and No. 8 White Bear Lake (97) on Oct. 16 at Tanners Brook Golf Course. Acer Iverson of Roseville won in 15:27.72. Mounds View had the next

Mustang girls cross country earns state trip, placing 2nd in section BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The Mounds View girls were runners-up in the Section 5AA cross country meet, qualifying for the state meet last Thursday. “What a huge win for the entire program and cross country community,” coach Jimmy McArthur said. “These ladies believe in ‘the power of the pack.’” St. Michael-Albertville dominated, scoring a perfect 15 with the top five runners, led by Ali Weimer with 17:50. Mounds View was the best of the rest with 93 points, beating out third-place Maple Grove (113) for the second slot among 15 schools at Anoka High School. Morgan Dahl, a junior, led the Mustangs, placing eighth in 18:46. The young squad also had
eighth-graders Tollie Jackson in 12th (19:15) and Tayor Isabel in 19th (19:38), and freshmen Kieran Meyer in 22nd (19:57) and Olivia Hoyhtya in 32nd (20:20). “The goal all season long was to go to the state meet as a team,” McArthur said. “We have always had an individual there, but the team had not made it in a while. We knew we could get second and were seeded going second for the meet, but we had to perform.” The Mustangs, who last went to state as a team in 2012, and before that 2009 and 2010, will compete at state on Saturday, 11 a.m., at St. Olaf College in Northfield. The Mustangs placed fourth in the Suburban East Conference meet Oct. 16. Dahl placed fi fth (18:52), Isabel 11th, Jackson 20th, Mayer 34th and Hoyhtya 45th.

Taylor (serving) and Paige Trondson won three matches at state and lost a 3-setter to Hopkins in the finals.
Charlotte Bowles and Nic Keller of Prior Lake, 6-7, 7-5, 6-4 in the semifinals at the University of Minnesota. Bowles was doubles champion with a different partner last year. The Mustang duo pulled out another close, grueling set against No. 2 seeds Maddie Suk and Rachel Kelly, 7-6 (2), in the finals, but the Hopkins seniors took charge after that, winning 6-0 and 6-1 and nabbed the gold. “The Trondsons play aggressive doubles. They move at the net, hit great serves and returns, and as sisters they know each other’s games well,” coach Scott Sundstrom said. “They play upbeat and fight for every point. Both girls have showed tremendous leadership this season. I am incredibly proud of them and their run to the state fi nal.” In the fi rst two rounds Thursday, the Section 4AA champions beat teams from St. Michael-Albertville and Rochester Mayo’s Emily Norman. Taylor, a senior, normally played No. 1 singles while Paige, a junior, played No. 1 doubles. Mounds View’s other state doubles entrant, junior Leah Brandt and eighth-grader Katerina Smiricinschi, beat a Henry Sibley team 7-5, 6-2, then lost to Suk and Kelly 6-0, 6-1.
three and six of the top 17. Streit was second (15:43.21), Hessini third (15:47.84), Sokolowski fourth (15:51.27), Sacay 11th (16:21.38), Nelson 14th (16:23.35) and McArthur 17th (16:32.59), all making all-conference. Mounds View normally has four or five races before sectionals but slated just three this year, for a couple of reasons. Fleming said they find it beneficial to train more and compete a little less, and they plan a post-state meet race — the Nike Regionals in Sioux Falls, S.D. — in hopes of qualifying for Nike nationals. “They want to do well in Sioux Falls,” Fleming said.
Austin Streit, leader of Mounds View’s No. 3 ranked cross country team, was section individual champion last week and conference runner-up the week before, pacing the Mustangs to championships by a wide margin in each. Streit’s time was 15:43 for 5,000 meters in the Suburban East Conference at Tanners Brook Golf Course (behind 2017 state runner-up Acer Iverson of Roseville), then won Section 5AA with 15:27 at Anoka High School’s course. An all-stater last year (14th place), Streit and his team will return to state Nov. 3 at Northfield. Minnesota’s #1 Volume Toyota Dealer! Per Toyota Motor Sale USA 2017

Mustangs clip Burnsville 17-10, earn a shot at Eden Prairie BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The good news for the Mounds View football team is that they won their section opener 17-10 over Burnsville, and the bad news is that their next opponent is 11-time state champion Eden Prairie. Or, maybe not. Mustang coach Aaron Moberg pledges that his team relishes the opportunity. “That is a historic program, with a great tradition,” said Moberg, who was an assistant the last time the Mustangs played Eden Prairie, a loss in the 2009 state semifinals, “but our kids are excited for this challenge. We have a lot of confidence and are determined to be the best team we can be.” The Mustangs have forced 12 turnovers the last
two games, seven in a 21-7 win at White Bear Lake and five against Burnsville. They’ve allowed just 46 points in the last five games, four of them wins. Game time for the Mustangs (6-3) vs. the Eagles (8-1) is Friday, 7 p.m., at Eden Prairie, the defending state champion. Against Burnsville, Mounds View took a 7-0 lead after forcing a fumble on a punt that Rowan Morgan recovered at the Braves’ eight, his fi fth recovery the year. That led to Trevor Redmond’s five-yard touchdown. The Mustangs broke a 10-10 tie with 4:29 left when Cole Stenstrom passed to Joey O’Brien for a 33-yard touchdown, O’Brien’s fi rst career TD. Freshman kicker Benjamin Samuel booted a 41-yard field goal and two conversions in his varsity debut.
Interceptions by Ben Kettelhut, Nick Dunagan, Nate Farm and Brian Tebbutt punctuated another stellar defensive performance as the Mustangs held the Braves to 126 yards passing and 70 rushing. Burnsville (4-5) did make one big strike when Sam Bardwell, who was 7-for-23, passed to Marcus Shepey for a 72-yard touchdown in the third period. The Braves tied the score at 10 on Abdirahim Abdalla’s a 31-yard field goal in the fourth. Redmond, back after missing most of the season with a bad ankle sprain, carried 11 times for 40 yards. Stenstrom completed three of nine, all for significant yardage as Mateo Cisneros had a 51-yard catch and Josh Sampson a 25-yarder, along with O’Brien’s touchdown. Cody Bieber had 45 in nine carries and Jonah Sparks 25 in five carries.
Mountain bike racers a hit at halftime BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Teenage mountain bike racers Ian Hase and Chihiro Gustafson were mulling recently how to fi nd a way to show a big audience how much fun their sport is to watch. Gustafson came up with the idea of a two-man race at halftime of a football game and pitched it to Hase. It just happened that their respective high schools, Mounds View and White Bear Lake, had a game against each other coming up. Officials at both schools gave them the go-ahead, and the event proved to be quite a hit with fans attending the game at White Bear Lake Wednesday, Oct. 17, and on social media in the aftermath. It was a close and furious two-lap race, with each school’s rooting gallery rising to enthusiastically cheer them on, enjoying the unusual halftime entertainment. Hase, of White Bear Lake, pulled forward at the end to edge his friend from Mounds View. They proceeded to pedal another lap with hands clasped in a “V” to celebrate the moment. The event was video-taped, too, by

Mountain bike racers Chihiro Gustafson, of Mounds View High School, left, and Ian Hase, of White Bear Lake Area High School, raced during halftime at a recent football game between the two schools.
the Minnesota High School Cycling League (MHSCL), of which Hase and Gustafson are members, and which provided the league’s veteran an-
nouncer, Jason Czeskleba, to call the race and whip up the crowd. As of Oct. 25, the video had over 60,000 views and 438 shares, reported
Hase, who wrote a press release on the event. The National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) posted the video to its Instagram account and has already received over 3,900 views. Bruce Martins, a trainer with the National Center for Youth Development, wrote a Facebook post calling the event “revolutionary.” When the MHSCL started seven years ago, Martins noted, they were ”inundated” with calls from football coaches concerned about “us stealing their athletes,” so he was especially impressed that Hase and Gustafson were able collaborate with a football game to take a big step in “making high school cycling a legitimate scholastic sport.” Ray Larson, an MHSCL representative, was present for the race. He lauded “the energy created by the students … cheering for their favorite” and noted that security guards were fi lming the action on their cell phones. Hase, captain of the White Bear Lake mountain bike team, has a job fi xing bikes at Chilkoot Cyclery and Cafe in Stillwater. Gustafson works at CARs Bike Shop in Mounds View. Both are seniors.
SCHOOL SAFETY GRANT: Bond provides security upgrades for Shoreview schools FROM PAGE 1
Irondale High School will use the about $132,000 it received for door notification systems, updated card reader system software, new doors and a new intercom system, said Karl Brown director of community education and technology, at a school board meeting this month. The district has plans for school safety improvements for other schools as well, even though they did not receive a grant, said Assistant Superintendent John Ward. The focus points are controlled access, staff supervision, communication and visitor management systems, as well as collaboration with local law enforcement. A $156.5 million bond referendum approved by voters last year includes some security upgrades at local schools. Chippewa Middle School in North Oaks and Island Lake Elementary in Shoreview will be getting a secured front entry with those funds. Ward said that because the district had asked for those items in the recent bond, it could not ask for money for them from the state in the grants. The items requested in grants were additional security measures. Other area schools also missed in random selection O.H. Anderson Elementary was the only school in the White Bear Lake area to receive funds from the Legislature’s school safety grants passed during the 2018 session. Mahtomedi Public Schools will receive $41,000 for safety and security improvements at the school. The district applied for a total of $173,000 in school safety projects, according to Bill Menozzi, director of business services, and Julie Osterbauer, supervisor of buildings and grounds, who submitted the grant applications to the state. The district requested $33,000 for securing entrances and $8,000 for communications, according to state documents. The main improvements will be se-
“Students and teachers clearly need more support to ensure our kids are safe, when we have more than 1,000 schools asking for over $250 million in funding to secure their buildings, we must respond with urgency.” Brenda Cassellius Education Commissioner cured main entry doors that require a buzzed entry and interior/exterior door alarms, Menozzi said. “The door to get from the main vestibule into the central office would require a buzzed entry,” he explained. All doors will also get alarms that can only be disarmed by a staff badge. This would prevent children from opening a door to an intruder and prevent anyone from propping doors open. Mahtomedi Public Schools applied for grants for all of its other schools but did not receive them. All of the school buildings have buzzed entries from the office, but the district applied for more secure buzzed entries directly from the main entry vestibule for each school. The high school already has interior/exterior door alarms, but not the middle school or Wildwood Elementary. These projects were also high priority, according to the grant application, but apparently were not chosen in the random selection. White Bear Lake Area Schools applied for grants for all of its schools, a total of about $924,000, but did not receive any. All of the projects the district submitted were considered high priority on the grant application, said Kevin Klecker, safety and emergency coordinator. The district requested
funds for a universal visitor management system, reinforced entryways with laminate safety fi lm, a visual notification system, a video system for before- and after-school care, additional card readers and an emergency notification app. The district also applied for lockdown buttons at a few schools that do not have them and a secured buzzed entry at Sunrise Park Middle School. Klecker said the state didn’t notify him why none of the high-priority projects were chosen, but he thought perhaps the state chose to prioritize schools that do not have secured buzzed entries. He saw several schools without secured buzzed entries in a prior district he worked at on the list of awardees. But White Bear Lake Area Schools already has most entries secured. “Almost every one of our buildings went through that in the last three years,” he noted. “The main doors feed into the office, and you are buzzed in and out.” The exception is Sunrise Park Middle School. “Hopefully, there is more funding in the future,” Klecker said. “We could defi nitely use it in this country’s climate.” Stillwater Public Schools, Forest Lake Public Schools and Centennial Public Schools did not receive any of its school safety grant requests. “Students and teachers clearly need more support to ensure our kids are safe,” said Education Commissioner Brenda Cassellius. “When we have more than 1,000 schools asking for over $250 million in funding to secure their buildings, we must respond with urgency.” The Legislature passed the grants in the wake of school shootings across the country last spring semester. In the three weeks following the school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February, there were at least 21 threats against Minnesota schools, according to Governor Mark Dayton.

Volunteers with handsaws maintain Boundary Waters trails over the decades BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR
The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW) is celebrating 40 years since the BWCA Wilderness Act, and 40-year Vadnais Heights resident Martin Kubik wants to thank all the volunteers who have maintained the wilderness trails using handsaws over the last several decades. Kubik said he fell in love with the Boundary Waters in 1971 when he came to Minnesota from the Czech Republic—then part of Czechoslovakia — for college. He remembers well the drive north in a friend’s ’62 Chevy. “Ever since, I got hooked,” he said. He became a guide on the Gunflint Trail in the ’70s and worked as a seasonal fi refighter. When he saw that trails in BWCAW needed help, he founded several organizations to help the U.S. Forest Service with maintenance. In 1990, he founded the 3M Outdoor Club and convinced 115 people to join him in clearing trails near the Boundary Waters, mostly coworkers from 3M. He organized volunteers to cut trees to keep the trails clear from Ely to the Gunflint Trail. He founded the Kekekabic Trail Club, which cleared 3,000 tree falls from the Kekekabic Trail. In 2002, he founded the Boundary Waters Advisory Committee to better advocate for wilderness trails. Today, those volunteers are focusing on the Powwow Trail, which went through the Pagami Creek Fire in 2011. The area was almost entirely consumed by fi re. Thousands of burned trees have fallen in the years following. The committee maintains thePowwow Trail under a volunteer service

agreement with the U.S. Forest Service. Volunteers still use handsaws to maintain the wilderness environment and “preserve the trail for future generations,” Kubik said. To thank volunteers, Kubik worked with Randy Bierwerth of Machining Specialists located in White Bear Township to make 100 custom laser-engraved titanium camping bowls for volunteers. Each bowl took about an hour to make, Kubik said. The logo was used with permission of the U.S. Forest Service, and designed by Duluth artist Rick Kollath, illustrator of many wilderness flora books. Kubik has been recognized several times over the decades for his volun-

teer leadership in maintaining the wilderness trails. He was recognized by the U.S. Forest Service for public service in 1996. He was given the 1993 3M Chairman’s Environmental Leadership Award for saving the Kekekab-
ic Trail and named 3M Volunteer of the Year in 2010. The American Hiking Society also named him 2007 Volunteer of the Year for the Great Lakes Region.
MOUNDS VIEW SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Mounds View Public Schools board took the following action at its Oct. 9 meeting: • Announced that it has successfully negotiated a new three-year contract with Superintendent Chris Lennox, effective July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022. The new contract includes total compensation for the next three school years made up of both fi xed annual amounts and variable amounts. The 2019-20 fi xed salary is $205,000 with a variable amount of $15,000. The fi xed amount jumps to $210,00 and $215,000 the next two years, with the variable amount remains the same. The variable portion of the compensation is based on the superintendent’s performance as measured by the goals set forth in the district operational plan as developed and approved annually by the board. The practice of incorporating a variable portion of eligible compensation has

continued over from the prior contract and will be determined at the end of each school year. The majority of the contract has remained substantially the same. To view the entire contract, visit www. moundsviewschools.org/suptcontract19. • Heard a report about music as it relates to academic performance and connectedness in schools from teachers Andy Schmidt, Paul Gronert, Liz Cummings-Cervenka and Brian Larson.

“CAN YOU EVER FORGIVE ME?” (R) [LANGUAGE, INCLUDING SOME SEXUAL REFERENCES, AND BRIEF DRUG USE.] — A gloomy, well-acted, factually based, unevenly paced, star-dotted (Ben Falcone, Dolly Wells, Christian Navarro, Anna Deavere Smith, and Stephen Spinella), 106-minute film adapted from Lee Israel’s novel “Can You Ever Forgive Me?: Memoirs of a Literary Forger” in which a broke, alcoholic, once-bestselling, catloving, curmudgeonly, Manhattan biographer Lenore Carol “Lee” Israel, who is socially inept and ignored by her snobbish agent (Jane Curtin), is down on her luck and resorts in 1991 to creatively forging more than 400 letters by famous authors to pay her rent and to treat her sick feline, and when her gay best friend (Richard E. Grant) rats her out to two FBI agents (Pun Bandhu and Erik LaRay Harvey), she is finally exposed.

As October ends on a rather mild note, it will be best remembered as a cold and wet month. Twenty of the thirty-one days were colder than normal, with eighteen days with rain. I can’t leave out that we did experience our first one-inch snow, October 14. This past weekend typified the month with clouds dominating and rain on Saturday. Sunday tried to make up for it with hints of sun. November Planets: Morning: Venus. Evening: Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.

School renovation expands opportunities for students An expanded and renovated St. Odilia Catholic Community in Shoreview celebrated with a grand re-opening this fall. The festivities capped off a yearlong construction project to address community ministerial needs, especially the school’s growth, and to create innovative learning spaces. In all, St. Odilia added 25,000 square feet of new space, including six new classrooms, and remodeled another 25,000 square feet of existing space. The expansion was the fi fth significant renovation since St. Odilia opened its doors in 1960. St. Odilia School currently enrolls 615 preschool through eighth grade students. The school grew 14 percent over last year, welcoming 42 transfer students this fall. St. Odilia’s preschool enrolls 150 students, up from 85 students five years ago. Two

Our new facilities enable us to deliver on this promise every day.” The expansion features a new Learning Lab that provides resources for students on both ends of the learning spectrum. As a dedicated work space for math and reading specialists, a student services coordinator and a counselor, the Learning Lab welcomes students who don’t qualify for a school district’s Individual Educational Plan but still have additional learning needs. Students who do qualify for service through their districts can visit the Learning Lab to work with the Mounds View School District’s special education teachers. The Learning Lab also offers enrichment services for students who could use additional challenges beyond what is offered in their classroom setting. “As a faith-based

school, we feel that we have a moral obligation to meet the needs of students,” Ragatz said. “If a child comes to us with a learning challenge, we will find ways to help. If a child is an accelerated learner, we will find ways to enrich. We want to honor each child’s ability and make sure they all have a place at the table.” St. Odilia also added a STEM (Science, Tech-
nology, Engineering and Math) Lab and classroom, staffed with a new STEM specialist. Every kindergarten through eighth grade student visits at least once a week to conduct handson science and engineering experiments, which are incorporated into their regular classroom curriculum. “We want our students to understand that STEM applies to every

part of our lives,” said Brianna Walrath, St. Odilia’s STEM specialist. “The new STEM Lab gives our students the space to engage in this integrated, handson learning. They are developing problem-solving skills with their team, making mistakes (and even a few messes!), and becoming critical, creative thinkers.” In addition to these new classrooms, St. Odilia built an expanded, light-fi lled library, band/orchestra practice area, and a media center that houses three 3D printers. Seven fourththrough eighth-grade robotics teams meet in the media center after school to work on projects and compete regionally. St. Odilia also repurposed existing space for a new designated art room, middle school drama classes and an indoor play area for preschoolers. Submitted by St. Odilia
