Bird Scouts: Local troop gets banding lesson from legend

BY ROY HEILMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It’s not often adults get a chance at a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with

wild birds of prey. For youth involved with Scouts BSA, on the other hand, it could be any old Saturday.

On one recent weekend, 18 Scouts from BSA Troop 639 held a “bird

banding campout” in northern Minnesota. The experience was a first for all involved, and made

In multiple north metro area schools, there is no official written school board policy regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI), yet various restrictions can be in place to limit the usage of AI. Each school district has different regulations and rules when it comes to utilizing AI. But AI can also be used to help create lesson plans, grade students’ homework and help students study for upcoming tests or quizzes.

Mounds View High School

Mounds View High School does not have an official written school board policy regarding AI at this time, according to Colin Sokolowski, executive director of public relations for Mounds View Public Schools.

The district addresses the topic of AI in its student handbook. Under “Academic Dishonesty,” it reads that at Mounds View High School “we are committed to guiding responsible,

Minnesota measurers make the record books—literally Opening day for Minnesota’s firearms deer season is getting close: Saturday Nov. 9. Tens of thousands of hunters now count the hours until they could encounter the buck of a lifetime. With a bit of luck, some will.

exactly how their trophy measures, a dedicated group of people are on standby to help.

Organized in the mid-1990s, Minnesota Official Measurers have scored many thousands of deer, elk, and moose antlers.

for three days. To be Boone, I had to go to Missoula for five days. Now they teach the Pope and Boone classes together, but it’s still five days. So it’s a commitment,” he said.

“Minnesota is a one-day class.

You take the measuring class, and you become an apprentice.

And then we ask that you do one deer classic and three small shows in three years.”

As a coordinator of the training classes, Olson has further insight into M.O.M. membership. He said there are typically four to six students in a class. That would tend to add up over the years. However, he said many took the class only to be able to measure their own sets of antlers, and didn’t participate further. M.O.M. made some changes to help weed out those who aren’t interested in measuring for the public.

For his part, Olson measures around 20 to 30 deer racks a year. Typically, a handful of those occur at his home.

Most of the rest are at shows, he said, where he interacts

with the public and instructs M.O.M. apprentices.

Mentors like Olson pass on a great deal of insight. While following the rules and general mechanics of measuring, experience sometimes proves invaluable. After partly measuring the rack last week, for example, Olson determined he needed to classify (and thus, score) those antlers differently.

“There’s a lot more to this than you think,” he said.

Olson explained that measuring moose antlers presents routine difficulties.

Likewise, he said white-tailed deer antlers are more difficult to measure than mule deer or elk. “The whitetail is the hardest one to measure, because there’s no two that are alike. Mule deer and elk are structured, so they’re always the same. A whitetail—they throw the book out.”

In addition to providing measuring services free of charge, M.O.M. is the keeper of Minnesota hunting records, and publishes the official record book. Olson said that

Measurers need to master intricacies of the methods of measuring antlers for the record books. It takes experience and dedication.

after purchasing the rights, the group redesigned the hardcover book to make the layout better. “It’s real friendly for people to read. It’s a really nice record book. Our goal is to try and measure as many [animals] as we can, so our record book represents what Minnesota has to offer.”

Entering a deer into the Minnesota record book (if it qualifies) costs only $20. Olson said the record book can be purchased through the group’s website or directly through

M.O.M. measurers. The Minnesota Official Measurers website, mnmom.com, also explains the history of M.O.M., what it takes to make the record books, and contact form for anyone who might want to learn more about becoming a measurer.

And if they are among the lucky few this weekend, hunters interested in contacting a certified measurer can do so through their interactive map feature.

CONTRIBUTED

Chloe Hu, of Shoreview, will play Cindy-Lou Who in the Children’s Theatre Company’s upcoming production of Dr. Seuss’s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Chloe Hu, from Shoreview, will play Cindy-Lou Who in the Children’s Theatre Company’s upcoming production of Dr. Seuss’s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.” The show will incorporate music, dance, vivid and fun costumes and the traditional story of the Grinch realizing the true meaning of the holidays and community.

Recently, Press Publications sat down with Hu to learn more about herself and her upcoming role.

Q: Tell me about yourself.

A: I am a 13-year-old girl who is currently in 8th grade at Chippewa Middle School. I enjoy cooking, hanging out with friends, singing and dancing in my free time!

Q: How long have you been a part of the Children’s Theatre Company?

A: About two-and-a-half years. My first show at the Children’s Theatre Company (CTC) was “Something Happened in Our Town,” which

premiered in 2022. I was the understudy for Ling.

Q: What got you into theatre?

A: One summer I wanted to try something new, and my mom signed me up for the theatre program at CTC. After a few classes, I felt in love with acting and started to audition for shows.

Q: What made you want to audition for the part of Cindy-Lou Who? A: I’ve always adored her kindness and how she doesn’t let other opinions affect her. She seemed like such a fun role to play so I decided to audition and see how it goes. I also just enjoy being in Whoville a lot!

Q: Do you have a favorite scene from the play?

A: I would say my favorite scene is shopping! It’s so fun to be frantic and running around shopping while also doing super fun choreography.

Q: What is the most challenging part about your role?

A: In the original movie Cindy Lou is a 6-year-old girl who is naturally so tiny, innocent and kind. It can sometimes be difficult to portray such a young character but with lots of practice it has become easier.

Q: Anything else you would like to add?

A: Please come see the show! It’s such an amazing experience and so fun for the actors onstage and the audience watching. Plus, the show is going to be different from all the past years with new elements added in!

BIRD SCOUTS: ‘We are always looking for unique and fun experiences’ FROM PAGE 1

possible by one Scout’s grandfather, master bander and White Bear Lake resident Frank Taylor.

Taylor greeted the troop at the banding site with the day’s first capture already in hand: a sharpshinned hawk. He proceeded to tell all about that species’ physical features, diet and migration. He then enlisted the Scouts to help him record the bird’s measurements and information from its newly attached band. One fortunate Scout, Declan Johnson, was chosen to release it back onto its journey south.

As he worked, Taylor showed the Scouts his equipment, talked about the banding process and shared more about raptors and their migration through northwestern Minnesota. He explained that since the vast water of Lake Superior doesn’t produce the warm air thermals the birds need to make their long migrations, they are funneled down the North Shore. As a result, they pass his banding station—and Duluth’s famous Hawk Ridge—in large numbers each fall.

If anyone could teach a bunch of Scouts about all these things, it would be Taylor. This is the 55th year he has banded raptors in the same location in St. Louis County. In that time, he has banded over 5,000 birds on a volunteer basis under the U.S. Geological Survey’s rigorous oversight. Sharp-shinned hawks, like the one Johnson released, are the most captured in Taylor’s nets year after year. He had a simple explanation for that.

“Because there’s more of them!” he laughed.

“Actually, there are two birds that come through Duluth in big numbers: the sharp-shinned hawks and the broad-winged hawks. Well, most of the adult broad-winged hawks stop eating when they migrate, so every once in a while we’ll catch an immature broad wing that is hungry. But most of the sharpshinned hawks are real hungry, real aggressive, so we catch more of those.”

After the first bird release, Taylor and the Scouts hunkered down to wait for the next raptor. While they waited, a “kettle” of broad-winged hawks gathered on a thermal overhead. An eagle made a thrilling fly-by and, at least twice, red-tailed hawks circled and swooped, but did not make contact with the net.

Within an hour, another sharp-shinned hawk was in hand.

Taylor again asked Scouts to help him with measuring and banding the bird. When all the

Master bander Frank Taylor shows the scouts one of dozens of birds he has caught this season.

paperwork was done, Owen Tollefson picked the lucky number and was allowed to release it.

“It was very cool,” recalled Tollefson, his face lighting up. “He taught me how to hold it and stuff. So I had to hold it in my hand, and on the count of three I released it and it went straight back into the woods.”

It is no coincidence that Taylor has provided experiences like Tollefson’s for decades. Education has been at the center of his involvement with raptors for years, including his time as curator of education birds at The Raptor Center. He and his wife Trudi, a retired professor of education, have hosted many visitors to the banding station over the years. Taylor cited groups associated with the National Eagle Center, DNR, Minnesota Zoo and many college biology departments.

“I love talking about it and showing people, and what’s there and why it goes on, ” he said.

According to Troop 639 Scoutmaster Kurt Then, tapping into Taylor’s expertise was a no-brainer. “We are always looking for unique and fun experiences for the Scouts,” he said. “When he came to one of our troop meetings and mentioned the bird banding he does, I knew we had to arrange a future outing.”

Troop 639, with Scouts from Shoreview, North Oaks and Vadnais Heights, has embarked on varied adventures in just the last five years, including

Scouts from Troop 639 help Frank Taylor record band information and bird measurements for scientific purposes.

camping in snow shelters, backpacking in New Mexico and staying overnight on a submarine.

Scoutmaster Then hopes to take Scouts to the BWCA or on another backpacking trip soon.

“Through events like these, the Scouts are learning and experiencing things you can’t get through other activities,” said Then. “I think the best part of the Scouting experience is when we get outside and connect with nature. The bird banding campout checked all kinds of boxes for a great Scouting event.”

He said that thanks to Frank Taylor’s knowledge and generous spirit, the Scouts who ventured north for an up-close encounter with raptors will remember it for a lifetime.

Owen Tollefson would likely agree. “It was just so cool. I felt like I wouldn’t have an experience like this, probably never in my life again,” he said.

Getting along

R

egardless of which candidate ends up winning the national presidential election, we’re still going to need to get along with family members, friends, colleagues, acquaintances and all of the other people we interact with locally on a daily basis. The upcoming holiday season, including Thanksgiving, only adds to the potential anxiety and stress of living in a society that is increasingly polarized.

Political differences in families are nothing new, but the levels of toxic rhetoric and volatility have been Angle of significantly cranked up due in no small part to the fragmentation of View information on various social media platforms and the growing distrust Paul Dols of scientific and medical experts. It’s extremely challenging engaging in a meaningful conversation when the definition of the truth is in question.

Personally, more than 25 years ago, I needed to formulate some coping strategies so that a relationship with a key family member could be maintained following an angry outburst — directed at me — during a discussion featuring a well known politician I’d had interactions with. I was caught by surprise and profoundly bummed out by the incident. A sincere apology followed the next day, which I gratefully accepted, but I vowed to do whatever I could to avoid a similar situation from ever occurring again.

After giving it some thought, I came up with the relatively simple strategy of identifying and avoiding the key catalysts (the mix of alcohol consumption and political talk) that led to the dustup. Quietly, without any announcement or fanfare, I began to cut back my drinking at family gatherings to (at most) one or two beers while also strategically avoiding potentially volatile political topics. To my knowledge, no one seemed to notice any change in my behavior and thankfully many years have elapsed without a similar incident.

However, there have been a handful of occasions over the years where, in order to tactfully avoid the possibility of a heated escalation, I needed to firmly assert that I did not want to discuss certain topics. I was also relieved we were still able to have meaningful and varied conversations about a variety of other topics.

While I was looking for information related to the subject of maintaining communication and healthy relationships in a politically divisive society, the contributions of William Doherty, professor emeritus in the Department of Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota, showed up in a number of articles at various news and information outlets including Time, NPR and Braver Angels (braverangels.org), an organization he cofounded as an effort to help bridge the political divides splitting the country. I’ve always thought of Thanksgiving as one of the most unifying and least stressful of American holiday celebrations, but Doherty and other family counselors are concerned that this year may be even more tricky than the post-election Thanksgivings of the past and are advising some advanced planning and the adjustment of expectations. Because it takes only one person to derail or escalate an already emotional and complicated discussion, Doherty advises against talking about political topics around the dinner table and suggests a host can ask ahead of time that politics are off-limits. He also suggests that you should probably give up on the idea that you might be able to change a family members mind because you enlightened them with a persuasive, thought provoking argument. There are tips and resources available about how to talk to family members about politics, it’s just that the dynamics of a group holiday meal are not ideal.

It’s not an easy situation, but we do still have choices.

The question that it all comes down to for me is, do we really want to let political leaders and toxic, cynical politics hurt our families?

A modern-day Bible story

n Numbers 24, the people of Israel have been migrating in the wilderness for almost 40 years. This is after over 400 years of slavery in Egypt; and they are nearing the Promised Land. A nearby king, Balak of Moab, hears they might be headed his way, so he hires a spiritual leader to curse (spread fearful rumors) about because Pastor’s them he’s worried, could be a Ponderings they threat. But when the spiritual Jason leader, Balaam, Steffenhagen goes to curse Israel, he listens to God and pronounces a beautiful blessing over the people. In this blessing, he reminds the people that God is always with them and that whoever blesses them will be blessed and whoever curses them will be cursed.

I’ve always struggled with the ‘blessing’ and ‘cursing’ language in the Bible. What does it mean?

Is it a simple transaction – give blessing to receive blessing? Is

it a karma thing – what goes around comes around? Or maybe it has to do with your posture towards humanity and the way in which you choose to live?

Part of our problem is that we don’t use these words very often. Blessing is typically used to express gratitude when something goes our way. ‘I’m so blessed.’ And cursing is not something we see very often, unless we are watching a movie about a witch putting a curse on our main character.

So, let’s use a couple different ideas.

Instead of blessing, let’s use – on your side, unity, connection.

Instead of cursing, let’s use – fearmongering, division, isolation.

That would make Balaam’s message about Israel a little more palatable to our modern minds. “Whoever is on their side will experience unity and connection; whoever traffics in fearmongering will experience division and isolation.”

The question being asked is which way of being human are you going to choose.

Although the story of Balaam blessing Israel in Numbers 24 is an ancient story, if we pause and look at our world today, the same

question is being presented to us daily. From social media posts to news stories, we are bombarded with a choice about how to see one another.

And for anyone who thinks this is a do-gooder, touchy-feely way of seeing the world, I get it. Because it’s empowering to name an enemy and attack.

But courage is knowing your good choices might cost you everything, and still choosing to bless and not curse.

Are we the kind of people who use the most vulnerable to create fear? Use their struggle to further divide people, and in so doing, further isolate ourselves?

Or. Are we the kind of people who say to the most vulnerable, “I’m on your side, I’m here to help?”

Might this posture of generosity and kindness transform us into a more loving people?

Let’s not give in to fear but overcome fear with love. We might just see that the world is a little brighter than we imagined.

Residents raise concerns about developer for Union Gospel Mission site

BY MADELINE DOLBY EDITOR

Two Shoreview residents raised concerns at the most recent City Council meeting about the construction that is occurring at the former Union Gospel Mission property.

Resident JoAnn Toth said the community wants to make sure the developer, Tycon Companies, is doing things according to the rules.

Toth said that Tycon Companies “broke the rules” by cutting down trees in protected areas and starting construction before obtaining a grading permit.

“He says he got permission from city staff,” said Toth. “But city staff, per your agreement, can only make minor changes. You can’t make major changes unless major things come back to the City Council.” A major change is anything considered in a development agreement.

Toth noted that the second rule the developer has broken is starting construction without the proper permit.

“The development agreement says ‘no work shall be done without a grading permit. Including cutting down trees,

erosion control,’ and as you can see, trees have been cut down and erosion control has been done. And they still don’t have a grading permit.”

She added that the developer is contractually required to protect any trees that need to remain on the site.

The protection entitles things that are in the development’s landscaping plans, city code and the agreement.

Toth explained that in the landscaping plan, it says that there needs to be a drip edge surrounding the surviving trees. She said that, currently, there no drip edges. The landscape plans also states that the developer needs to lay down mulch. Toth says there is no mulch surrounding the trees.

“We would like to see a stop work order issued. It’s typical in the construction industry, and a stand down order issued,” said Toth. A stand down order would bring the developer, contractor and the city together to discuss what the development agreement says.

Resident Jane Friedman also mentioned the former Gospel Mission Site along with the minutes from the joint Planning Commission and City Council workshop that took place

in June 2024 in which the site was discussed. Friedman said that at the workshop, there was a debriefing of the decision-making process for the site.

“My take from the discussion was that the city felt as much frustration as we, the citizens, did about the process and the limitations within that to properly address a development proposal with complex issues,” Friedman said.

She mentioned, if allowed, that having an opening meeting with the commission, City Council and citizens would have been helpful.

“All along, citizens’ concerns focused on compliance with code and the comp plan. Additionally, we were concerned that post-approval, there wouldn’t be close oversight of the building process and monitoring of the common dock for compliance with regulations,” she added.

Friedman said she agrees with Toth’s assessment that the agreement requires a grading permit before developers are able to cut down any trees. She also would like the issue looked into.

City Manager Brad Martens said that, typically, the council does not respond to citizen comments during a City Council meeting, but due to the

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Schools explore possibilities

allegations alleged he asked to clarify items mentioned.

“It is understandable why anyone would think that there is significant grading going on for the project because there is a lot of dirt work taking place,” he said. “However, what the developer does have is a demolition permit.”

A demolition permit allows the developer to take care of what is currently on site and not advance work on the future project. Martens explained that if the developer did not have a future project planned for the site and came to the council with a demolition permit, it would be approved because of the significant public safety issues that exist on site.

“Recently, somebody went out there and attempted to steal copper from an active, live, electrical box that started a fire,” he stated. “That is an act of theft that took place out there.”

Martens stated that they anticipate that the developer will secure a grading permit soon. For now, there is only a demolition permit.

Included in the White Bear Lake Area Schools’ Technology Department’s Strategic Plan is the facilitation of districtwide conversations about AI to develop board policy. Also included in the plan is training and guidelines for teachers, administrators and students.

According to staff members within the district, these conversations stem from a belief in leveraging AI as a collaborative partner and transformative tool that enhances learning and cultivates flexible, critical thinking and a commitment to ethical AI practices that promote privacy, security, access, equity, integrity, transparency and providing the skills needed to thrive in a dynamic, technologydriven world.

This work falls within the district’s strategy of ensuring the district’s organization continuously transforms to fulfill its mission, and will continue this school year.

Currently, Centennial schools are still exploring the use of AI as a district. According to Krista Bergert, director of public information and community outreach, Centennial High School is exploring the use of AI. Madeline Dolby is editor of the Shoreview Press. She can be reached at 651-431-1226 or shoreviewnews@ presspubs.com.

district practices for the use of AI. According to Superintendent Barb Duffrin, the district is focusing on supporting teachers and staff in understanding the value of AI and the necessary considerations of student data privacy and academic integrity.

“Our district mission acknowledges the importance of providing students with opportunities to lead and thrive in a dynamic world,” said Duffrin.

“Our Portrait of a Graduate, which outlines the skills we want for graduates of Mahtomedi Public Schools, includes utilizing AI and technology responsibly while staying current on trends for success.”

The district acknowledges that AI can improve efficiency and invite innovative learning experiences for students. Duffrin also stated that students must learn to use generative AI tools responsibly and ethically to successfully navigate a future where these technologies will play a crucial role in job markets and social interactions.

“By instilling a strong ethical foundation now, we have the opportunity to support students to take academic risks while harnessing the potential of AI,” she explained.

safe and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) through the development of clear AI guidelines that support both teachers and students to engage with, innovate and make informed decisions.”

“We created this based on our understanding on how kids are using it and wanting to create more clarity for them,” said Mounds View High School Principal Rob Reetz. “Less because we want to catch them doing it, more because we want to guide them on what not to do.”

According to the student handbook, staff may use AI detection tools as part of their grading process Once students demonstrate the ability to consistently move their critical thinking to a paper, be able to make claims and support them with evidence, Reetz said then the conversation should move to how AI can be used to support or enhance critical thinking.

“I don’t want it to replace student work before they know how to write and think critically,” Reetz added.

“Your writing is essentially the communication of this critical thinking that you’ve been engaged in.”

He also added that students need to be taught how to ensure the research provided to them by AI is accurate. Teachers are also helping students understand that not everything AI produces is a reliable resource. Reetz said it is more about the inclusion of AI when speaking about the reliability of resources.

Mounds View High School places strong limits on student use of AI when completing their work. But for teachers, AI has helped teachers a lot.

“It’s been an incredibly helpful tool,” said Reetz.

“One example would be AI’s ability to change the complexity of texts. You can change the complexity of the text without losing its meaning to create greater access for kids to engage, sometimes, in discussion with others, to use a lesser complex text to make claims and support those claims with evidence in writing.”

It also allows the teachers to differentiate instruction and create some type of modified assignment. He added that, “In some ways, it is ensuring that we have activities and assignments for students that are at their level of readiness.”

At Mounds View High School, teachers use what Reetz calls the “80/20 Rule,” which is when a teacher might use AI to modify an assignment. Teachers can use 20% of what AI created and then modify the rest to what works best for their students, or vice versa.

“It is a great tool for educators,” Reetz said. “It is a great tool for principals.”

COUNTY BRIEF

Your Local Remodeling, Custom Home & Storm Damage Experts.

Properly dispose of your pumpkins in Ramsey County

One of the best ways to dispose of pumpkins is through composting. It’s sustainable and can enrich your garden soil. Pumpkins that end up in landfills have a hard time breaking down because landfills function to store material and don’t have much oxygen to allow organics to decompose properly.

When it is time to throw away your pumpkins this fall, drop them off at a Ramsey County yard waste site. In total, there are seven waste sites: • Arden Hills, 1881 Hudson Road • Mounds View, 8307 Long Lake Road • White Bear Township, 5900 Sherwood Road • Summit Hill, 870 Pleasant Ave., St. Paul • Battle Creek, 389 Winthrop St. S., St. Paul • Frank and Sims, 1150 Sims Ave., St. Paul • Midway, 1943 Pierce Butler Rte., St. Paul For more information, go to ramseycounty.us/residents/recycling-waste.

Prior to adoption, a complete copy of the new Shoreview City Code was presented to the City Council and the public and was further on file with the City Clerk and made available for viewing on the City’s website.

Mounds View Theater hosts ‘Pride and Prejudice’ The Mound View High School Theater will perform “Pride and Prejudice” beginning on Thursday, Nov. 7. This version of “Pride and Prejudice” explores the absurdities and thrills of finding your perfect (or imperfect) match in life.

The outspoken Lizzy Bennet is

determined to never marry, despite mounting pressure from society. But can she resist love, especially when that vaguely handsome, mildly amusing and impossibly aggravating Mr. Darcy keeps popping up at every turn?

Opening night will be 7 p.m.

Thursday, Nov. 7. Other performance dates include 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8; 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9 and 1 p.m.

EMERGING ARTIST: ARIANNA VANN-COOK

BY LOGAN GION CONTRIBUTING WRITER

P

eople are often sorted into two categories: followers and leaders.

Recent White Bear Lake graduate Arianna VannCook, however, belongs in a third category—trailblazer.

School Board Student Liaison, Black Student Union coleader, Women Empowerment Seminar founder—VannCook has long been bursting with ideas. Only in the last few years, though, has she realized the power her ideas had.

“I had notebooks and books lined up in every corner of my room, and I didn’t realize … until a teacher drew it out of me, like, ‘Honey this is poetry,” Vann-Cook recalls. Because she had so much content, her teacher

Excerpt from “summer,” plenty of color, a dozen creation/ we shall huddle together, a standing ovation/ to how we shine in front of the sun/ and teach it to glow.

CONTRIBUTED

encouraged her to submit to White Bear Center for the Arts’ WriteNow! Contest. She won four awards her freshman year.

Vann-Cook describes poetry

and writing as “my deepest emotions and thoughts. It’ll be something small, and then it’ll kind of snowball into something bigger. … It’s really just pouring everything out.” Vann-Cook’s process led her to write the piece “Monochromatic”—a poem about Vann-Cook’s experience

growing up mixed race. For this, she received an Award of Merit from WBCA, who also featured the work in their first issue of “Repose,” an art collective magazine.

Vann-Cook’s relationship with WBCA proved critical when the center looked to establish a high-school internship program.

There, she used the shape and power of her words to appeal to the State House of Representatives: “I have witnessed a great deal of passion with no outlet, having nowhere to fulfill their dreams … Talent is something that can often be overlooked if there is nowhere to apply it.” Earlier this year, VannCook completed WBCA’s inaugural students-in-resident internship.

She also handed the reins of the Women Empowerment

HISTORICAL SOCIETY RETRACES MINNESOTA’S TRAIL OF TEARS

BY LOGAN GION CONTRIBUTING WRITER

O

n Nov. 7, 1862, between two of The Civil War’s most brutal battles, Minnesota governor Alexander Ramsey demanded that the Dakota “be exterminated or driven forever beyond the borders of the State.” This was decreed in retribution for the deaths caused by Little Crow’s Rebellion earlier that year. The vast majority of the Dakota population had opposed the war, refused to fight and condemned the fighting party’s leader, Little Crow, for his actions. Nevertheless, that winter, 1,658 non-combatant Dakota were forcibly marched for 150 miles from the land on which they’d lived for hundreds of years—currently termed “unceded lands”— to an internment camp in Fort Snelling en route to a reservation near Omaha, Nebraska. Only 1,000 reached their destination. This event is now known as Minnesota’s Trail of Tears.

A Google search of “MN Trail of Tears” yields a handful of local and state articles before switching to “Trail

of Tears” with a note underneath that reads “Missing: MN.” While writing this very article, autocorrect “helpfully” changed “unceded lands” to “unneeded lands.” Rob Thomas, Development Director for the History Theater and current Board President for the White Bear Lake Area Historical Society, believes two factors are behind the low awareness of this atrocity. The first is that Minnesota only allowed Dakota to reenter under strict terms beginning in 1889.

Thomas’ own family only returned in the late 1940s. The second reason hits upon a universal human difficulty.

“We don't mind talking about the concentration camps in Germany because it happened in Germany; somebody else did it. We get a little more hesitant to share real history when we're talking about ourselves,” Thomas states. To help remedy this, Thomas will be giving a historical presentation of these events through the eyes of his great-great-greatgrandparents, Pazaheyayewin (She radiates in her path like the sun) and Mazaadidi (Walks on iron).

When Thomas talks about this

subject, he sometimes gets a little pushback. “The most common thing I hear is, ‘You know, the Indians killed white people too,’” he says. “Yes. But we're talking about systemic issues of our educators not having either the education themselves or the power to tell, you know, true stories. These are big, big problems that everyone should be upset about.”

To be clear, though, Thomas’ aim is not to make anyone feel ashamed or guilty about Minnesota history.

“You don't have any control over it. …

I don't think anyone should have to feel bad about that specifically. But we can feel bad about not doing enough to acknowledge people want to see themselves represented in history,” he says. “There were, and are, burial mounds [in White Bear Lake], which means this was a significant place to Dakota people at some point. So Dakota history has to be a part of White Bear history too."

One Family’s Journey on MN’s Trail of Tears takes place from 6-7 p.m. Nov. 18 at the White Bear Lake Library. No advance registration is necessary.

WHITE BEAR DYES FUR ‘BLONDE’ FOR FALL MUSICAL

BY LOGAN GION CONTRIBUTING WRITER

C

hoir Teacher and Musical Theater Director Wendy Suoja has directed 27 shows for White Bear Lake Area High School Theater. However, this fall’s musical, “Legally Blonde,” has a special distinction: It will be the last show performed in the high school’s theater. The Performing Arts Center, a new 850-seat auditorium complete with a fly system and changeable screens, will open in early December.

“It’s super nostalgic for me personally,” says Suoja, “'cause I've been here since 1999. Then for the kids, their world has been jostled so much over the past five years … For them [the space is] like their favorite pair of shoes.” Suoja also believes that this show will be invigorating for all who see it. Between COVID and construction on the 9-12 high school, “Legally Blonde” will be the first show since 2019 that will

feel normal to produce.

Then again, Suoja promises that “Legally Blonde” will be tweaked “the White Bear way.” Elle Woods, the musical’s lead part, will be played by Yahaira Nok-Chidana, who is Afro-Latina. Nok-Chidana’s hair will be specially interwoven and braided to achieve the signature blonde color and look. Suoja assures that those who see the show, though, will recognize Nok-Chidana as Elle Woods almost immediately. “We are not changing the vibe of the character,” Suoja explains. “You see her for the character in about 30 seconds in her performance. It's so good.” As for the reason behind the casting, Suoja says. “You know, Elle Woods’ story is anybody’s story.”

Elle Woods’ story will be everybody’s story when White Bear Lake High School’s production of “Legally Blonde” opens at 7 p.m. Nov. 15.

For tickets and a full list of show dates, visit sites.google. com/isd624.org/musical-theatre/tickets-legally-blonde.

Seminar, a student-interest club that Vann-Cook founded, to her successor. “I do a lot of spoken word at the seminars and try to relate to the crowd … you know, self love and the battle with confidence. I’m glad that I took the initiative to start it. Now it’s like an actual big club. You can letter in it now, which is super cool.

It’s in the yearbook.”

Even with these accomplishments to her name, Vann-Cook is still amazed that her ideas have turned into concrete accomplishments. “I created [the seminar] out of thin air, and it’s real now. It’s the same thing for writing.

You create something; it can be real.”

to pay prevailing wages, which would add to development costs. Enclave is requesting the size of the DEED grant be adjusted down to $199,999.99 because accepting a larger grant amount brings additional requirements that they consider to be cost prohibitive to the overall project.

• The city will issue tax abatement general obligation bonds for the funding of park buildings at Commons Park and at Bobby Theisen Park. The park improvement tax abatements will be around $3,070,000. These abatement bonds will be repaid by transfers from the community investment and capital assets replacement fund, according to Finance Director Fred Espe. Tax abatements are not an actual abatement of taxes. Espe said these abatements permit the levy of taxes for the development of public infrastructure and other improvement purposes. The city also will issue a general obligation utility revenue bond for water and surface water improvements. The water revenue bonds will help fund the North Tower rehabilitation project, 2024 street rehabilitation and water utility system improvements. The surface water revenue bonds will help fund the Kerry Ponds sediment removal, the 2024 street rehabilitation project and storm sewer rehabilitation. The utility revenue for water will be around $2,240,000. The utility revenue for surface water improvements will equal $985,000. The bonds will be repaid by revenue generated by the water fund and revenue generated by the surface water management fund and paid over a 15-year term, Espe noted. In total, the tax abatement and bonds will equal around $6,295,000.

• Rachel Japuntich and Josh Wing will fill two at-large positions on the city’s Economic Development Authority (EDA).

They will serve on the EDA through Dec. 31, 2026.

The next Shoreview City Council meeting will take place at 7 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, in council chambers.

Wahlstrand sisters are state doubles champions

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Rory and Reese Wahlstrand had never played doubles together before this year’s post-season tournaments, but it looked like they’d been doing so all their lives.

The Mounds View sisters captured the state Class 2A doubles championship Oct. 2425, knocking off the top-seeded, defending champions from Rochester Mayo and the No. 2 seeds from Edina.

“We just thought we’d give it a try,” said Reese. “We definitely knew it was possible if we worked hard.”

The sisters went 8-0 together in doubles while leading the Mustangs to the section team title and a fourth-place finish in the state tournament.

Rory, a junior originally played 1-singles, was 27-4 overall, and Reese, a freshman who played 2-singles, was 26-5.

This was Rory’s fourth state tournament and Reese’s third.

Rory was consolation champ at state in singles last year.

“Rory and Reese are fierce competitors. They were great partners and supported each

other through the ups and downs of every match,” Coach Scott Sundstorm said. “Rory’s forehand and Reese’s willingness to take balls at the net were the difference, in my opinion.”

The Wahlstrands are the first doubles state champions for Mounds View. Four previous teams were runners-up. The Mustangs had one singles champion, Summer Brills in 2012.

In the first two rounds, the blonde siblings got past East Ridge’s Paige Heideman and Anne Benjamin 6-1, 6-1, and Edina’s Zoya Hasan and Lauryn Schenk 6-1, 5-7, 6-3.

Awaiting them in the semifinals was Malta Diehn and Keely Ryder of state team champion Rochester Mayo.

While many state doubles entrants are singles players like the Wahlstrands, Diehn and Ryder only play doubles and were state champs last year.

“We knew we had to be consistent, and we had to be aggressive,” Rory said. “If we were not aggressive, they would be able to attack.”

The Wahlstrands lost the first set 7-5, then cruised 6-2 in

the second and closed it out 6-4 in the third. Mayo fought off two set points to win the first set and three more in the third set before the sisters closed it out. “We had to keep our

Mustang boy’s 4th at state XC meet, win section

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Mounds View boys placed fourth in the state Class 3A cross country meet, led by Casey Poppler’s fifth-place finish, on Saturday in Falcon Heights.

They were section champions a week earlier.

“We talked all week about the range of outcomes we might see Saturday. From a team standpoint we knew it was going to be close, and it was,” Mustang Coach Tom Wentworth said.

“Our focus was on running our own race and being our best on the day, and I believe we did that.

We came in ranked sixth and finished fourth.”

Edina won with 106 points, followed by Wayzata 112, Minnetonka 119, Mound View 124, Rosemount 129 and Stillwater 141 for the top six spots among 16 teams.

Poppler, a senior, finished in 15:30.9 at the University of Minnesota Golf Course, earning all-state status. Their top five also included senior Sam Geer in 30th place in 16:19.6, sophomore Andrew Richter placed 33rd in 16:22.3, senior Owen Kalmes placed 38th in 16:24.7 and sophomore Hunter Miller placed 54th in 16:36.7.

“I’m proud of our group, especially our seniors who have shown exemplary leadership this season,” Wentworth said. “They are the reason we got this far.”

In Section 5AAA, the Mustangs had five of the top 13 runners and won with 39 points, followed

by Roseville Area with 64 and Champlin Park with 71, on Oct. 24 at Anoka High School. Poppler placed second in 15:51 (behind state champ Mechura) while Kalmes was fourth in 16:06, Cole eighth in 16:14, Richter 12th in 16:21 and Geer 13th in 16:21.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Casey Poppler Mounds View Cross Country

Casey Poppler placed fifth in the state cross country meet Saturday. Poppler has been “an awesome addition” to Mounds View cross country this fall, Coach Tom Wentworth said. “He sets a great example on how to train and how to lead. We’re really proud of him.” The 5-foot-11, senior finished in 15:30.9 at state, leading the Mustangs to fourth place. Poppler placed 35th for Totino-Grace as a sophomore before transferring to Mounds View High School and was not eligible last year due to transfer rules.

Poppler placed second in both the conference and section meets, each time behind the state champion. “Casey went out and ran a gutsy race at state,” Wentworth said, “and it paid off for him and the team.”

nerves in check and always stay positive,” Reese said.

The championship match pitted them against Astrid Kerman and Raya Hou of Edina. The Hornets beat the Mustangs three times this year, all 5-2, but the Wahlstrands vanquished the Hornets this time, 6-2, 6-4, for the gold medals.

Rory and Reese are the only children of Carl and Carol Wahlstrand, who both played tennis for Mounds View, and who both teach tennis at Lifetime Fitness in White Bear Lake. Carl played college tennis for Michigan Tech.

“I am incredibly proud of how Rory and Reese represent Mounds View High School,” Sundstrom said. “They are positive, display great sportsmanship and give it their all on the court every single point. They are so very deserving of winning the state championship.”

Shae Crockarell and Avery Schifsky were also state qualifiers in doubles. They lost to Hastings, beat Fergus Falls and Minnetonka. They lost to Elk River 6-3, 3-6, 11-9 in the consolation finals.

Mustangs place 4th in state tennis The Mounds View tennis team reached the state Class 2A semifinals and wound up placing fourth on Oct. 22-23 at the University of Minnesota.

The Mustangs, seeded third, beat past Bemidji 6-1 in the first round, then lost to No. 2 Edina 5-2 and No. 4 Maple Grove 5-2.

They finished 17-5. Rochester Mayo beat Edina in the finals 5-2.

Mounds View swept the singles matches against Bemidji with Rory Walhlstrand and Reese Wahlstrand, Avery Schifsky and Sonam Bhaskar.

In doubles, Bemidji’s Megan Berg and Elena Peterson beat Shae Crockarell and Stella Fagerlee 6-4, 1-6, 6-1. The Mustangs’ Annika Dox/Sofia Kostinovski and Avery Dove/ Audrey Halverson won.

Rory Wahlstrand also won at 1-singles against Edina and Maple Grove. Crockarell/ Fagerlie got the other point against Edina at 2- doubles.

Dox/Kostinovski won at 2-doubles against Maple Grove.

Mustang gridders win thriller, advance to state final eight

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Elation. Relief. Jubilation.

All those emotions gushed from the Mounds View football team long after the final gun as the Mustangs celebrated a harrowing 28-27 playoff win over Prior Lake at home on Friday evening.

The Mustangs stopped a two-point conversion run by the Lakers, who had been running strong all game, with 49 seconds left, to advance to the third round of the state Class 6A playoffs.

“I don’t know how close he came, but I know he didn’t make it over the line,” beamed Joey Muhlstein, who, along with fellow linebacker Joe Kostelnik, made the initial hit on Prior Lake’s Levi Eiter, a 200-pound back who’d scored a game-tying twopointer earlier.

After two home playoff wins, the No, 9 ranked Mustangs (8-2) now face No. 2 Shakopee (9-1) in the quarterfinals Friday, Nov. 8 at Spring Lake Park. Prior Lake finished 5-5 after starting 1-4 against five topten teams.

A year ago, Prior Lake ousted the Mustangs 17-15 as a last-minute drive fell short after Eiter scored on a pass with 2:41 left.

“We lost a heartbreaker to Prior Lake last year, and this time we held on,” said Coach Aaron Moberg, while still getting hugs, back slaps and vigorous handshakes

CONTRIBUTED

Mitch Olson dived over the goal line for a 73-yard touchdown after being tripped by a Prior Lake defender.

15 minutes after the game.

“I told the kids; they’d remember that stop for the rest of their lives.”

Mounds View got a fiveyard touchdown from Jacob Sampson and a 73-yard breakaway by Mitch Olson in the first half. They led 14-13 after three quarters, staying in front when Prior Lake’s Mason Storlie was short on a 44-yard field goal attempt after hitting from 30 yards and 42 yards earlier.

The Mustangs increased the lead to 21-13 on a 10-yard run by Sampson, after Olson ran for 20 yards and caught a pass for 27 yards.

Prior Lake’s Luke Loehlein returned the kickoff to the Mustang 45, then broke off 26- and 12yard runs. Eiter scored from the three, then powered into the end zone for two more points, tying the score at 21.

The Mustangs went back to work and Olson blazed down the left sideline for a 27-yard touchdown and a 28-21 lead after Cooper Feldman’s fourth extra point kick.

The Mustangs got a sack

from Sam Cornelius that left the Lakers with a fourthand-11 at midfield, but Myles Greenwood hit Loehlein for 12 yards, keeping the drive alive. Loehlein slashed 13 yards for a touchdown with 49 seconds left. Prior Lake went for the win, calling upon Eiter again, and this time the Mustangs made the stop.

Olson gained 191 yards in 17 carries. Sampson gained 62 in 16 carries and was 5-for-9 passing for 95 yards.

Mustangs 42, Coon Rapids 0 Sampson completed 12 of 13 passes for 97 yards, with an 18-yard touchdown to Weston Kuchar, who caught four for 51 yards. Olson scored on runs of 19 and one yard while gaining 87 yards in eight carries. The Mustangs had two defensive touchdowns. Muhlstein recovered a fumble in the end zone to open the scoring.

Colton Loween recovered a blocked punt in the end zone.

Jonny Gale and Charlie Eggers intercepted passes.
