It’s the most wonderful time of the year … time for Press Publications’ Holiday Lights Contest, that is. Press Publications is eager to see everyone’s displays. The second annual contest will kick off the week of Dec. 22 and run through Dec. 31. With COVID-19 still hanging around this holiday season, many families are looking to get out and about to find a way to celebrate. “Everybody is at a different point in their COVID journey, and people have different levels of concern, so this activity is open to most people,” said Publisher Carter Johnson. Last year’s holiday lights contest was created out of a pandemic year, and while this year may feel a bit different with the return of holiday concerts, plays and family events—all thanks to increased vaccinations—the holiday lights still offer a feeling of hope for the future.

SHOREVIEW — Hidden in the Shoreview Village Mall is the Sacred Grounds Coffee House, a nonprofit creative community space meant to plant seeds of understanding so that equity and healing may flourish for all. Shoreview resident Sarah McGuiness, the founder and director of Sacred Grounds Coffee House, said it is part of a 10-year vision of building relationships and partnerships. The nonprofit opened its doors in July with hopes of expanding in the near future. “Our mission is to honor marginalized peoples’ lives for the arts and trauma-informed togetherness,” McGuiness said. “Seventy-five percent of our partners are artists, musicians, authors and organizations from underrepresented communities, and 25% are strong allies. We have partnerships with Minnesota Peace Building Institute, Cow Tipping Press and Peace Coffee.” McGuiness said they have an art store led by persons with disabilities, a small space that is right next to the Overflow Community Thrift Store. “The money we raise there all goes back into our basic operational costs, as we are volunteer-led and all of our artists represented in the store are from Minnesota,” she said. Because of the tiny store, Sacred Grounds Coffee House utilizes the hallway space with tables
Mall), in Shoreview. There is no cost to attend. While the coffeehouse is supported in part with donations for snacks and art supplies from the local community, it recently received a grant from the Metro Regional Arts Council. McGuiness said the bigger vision of Sacred Grounds Coffee House is to eventually have a real coffee bar. “Behind the wall of the store is a vacant space that used to be a restaurant. When we can afford it, we’ll break down the wall and have an actual coffee bar, not just a Keurig,” McGuiness said. “When we do have that real coffee bar, we want to give priority to people with disabilities — especially developmental disabilities — to work as baristas. The persons with disabilities population don’t have a whole lot of visibility after they age out of school, and they don’t have a lot of opportunities.” Hours for the Sacred Grounds Coffee House store are noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday; noon to 4 p.m. Wednesday; and noon to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday. People can check the website for changes in hours and special events.

Daily gratitude
I
’VE BEEN TRYING to wrap my arms around the American holiday of Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for: our nation’s freedoms, a free enterprise system, law and order, advanced medical care, and the list goes on and on. We are privileged to be living on the Earth within the Universe that God has created. The earth has an amazing ability to adapt and regenerate. The earth provides energy, food, and habitat which are all renewable and available in seasons. I continue to be thankful for the Jews who have preserved God’s revelation in His words to us. Further, I’m thankful to the Catholics and their 14 Apocalyptic books. I’m thankful for the New Testament along with numerous spiritual letters. Another amazing gift from God that I’m thankful for is sending His Son, Jesus, to come into the world as a human and to die for us on the cross that we might have About the resurrection and a new life. Town These gifts were provided faith Gene Johnson and all wethrough have to do is believe and accept. We can’t buy or work our way to eternal life. Through faith we’ve been given grace and forgiveness through our Lord Jesus Christ. At your Thanksgiving table this year, think about some prayers or Bible verses which will reiterate and renew your faith in God. Verses could be read, such as: “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever,” 1 Chronicles 16:34. “I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Corinthians 1:4. “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus,” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Some families enjoy singing together. The following hymns may be meaningful suggestions: “To God be the Glory” and “Amazing Grace.” The first verses of those two hymns follow: “To God be the glory” by Fred Bock/ Fanny Crosby/William Doane To God be the glory Great things He has done So loved He the world that He gave us His Son Who yielded His life an atonement for sin And opened the life-gate that all may go in Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Let the earth hear His voice Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Let the people rejoice Come to the Father Through Jesus the Son Give Him the glory Great things He has one “Amazing Grace” by John Newton Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now I’m found Was blind, but now I see “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.” – John Wesley Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

Talking diabetes awareness with U of M
A
ccording to the American Diabetes Association, approximately 8% of adults in Minnesota are diagnosed with diabetes, which costs an estimated $4.7 billion in the state. For Diabetes Awareness Month this November — Betsy Seaquist, MD, an endocrinologist at the University of Movers & Minnesota Medical School Shakers and M Health Betsy Seaquist Fairview, talks about diabetes and living with a chronic condition. Q: What is diabetes? Dr. Seaquist: Diabetes is a disease where the blood sugar is elevated. It occurs when the body cannot make enough insulin for its needs. In Type 1 diabetes, the cells that make insulin are destroyed by the immune system. These patients must take insulin to live. In Type 2 diabetes, the pancreas does not make the right amount of insulin at the right time and the body’s ability to use insulin is also decreased. Sometimes patients with Type 2 diabetes
also take insulin, but there are other drugs that can be used. Q: What are the subtle symptoms of diabetes that should be told to a primary care provider? Dr. Seaquist: Most people with diabetes are asymptomatic, which is why screening for the disease must be done in populations at risk. If the blood sugar gets high enough, people can lose weight, become very thirsty, drink a lot of fluids and have blurred vision. Q: What are the risk factors of having diabetes and the current treatment options available? Dr. Seaquist: Risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include older age, a history of gestational diabetes with a pregnancy, a family history of diabetes, obesity and having Native American, African American, Asian American, Latino or Pacific Islander ancestry. People at risk for Type 2 diabetes can reduce this risk, or postpone the onset of the disease, by maintaining a lean body weight and exercising regularly. Q: If someone is diagnosed with diabetes, what should they know about the diagnosis? Dr. Seaquist: Someone diagnosed with diabetes should know the disease is very treatable. At the time of diagnosis, education about what to eat, how much to eat and exercise is essential.
We now have a great variety of drugs and technologies that can help people manage their blood sugars. It is important that patients work with their health care teams to get their blood sugars in a healthy range. Q: What are you doing in your research and practice to further our understanding of diabetes? Dr. Seaquist: My independent research focuses on managing the hypoglycemia that commonly occurs as a result of insulin therapies. In my clinical practice, I use a lot of new technologies to help minimize this problem. I have also led clinical trials designed to determine the best way to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with Type 2 diabetes and to identify the best drug regimen to use in patients with early Type 2 diabetes. Betsy Seaquist, MD, an endocrinologist at the U of M Medical School and M Health Fairview, specializes in hypoglycemia and the complications of diabetes. Her research focuses on the effect of diabetes on brain metabolism, structure and function. “Talking...with U of M” is a resource whereby University of Minnesota faculty answer questions on current and other topics of general interest.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR President’s words and actions matter The United States is a nation of law. The interpretation of our laws by the courts defines the liberties of citizens against government restriction. Usually, this system works well. We are currently, however, seeing these individual liberties being distorted by a vocal minority of our citizens with the support of a politically stacked judiciary. They assert that federal mandates to require us to get vaccinated against COVID-19 violate constitutional limits on government restrictions on our liberties. No freedom, however, is absolute. The requirements that people get vaccinated are justified by the compelling government interest of protecting the nation against the continuing ravages of the pandemic. People who refuse to get vaccinated create a risk not only to themselves, but to others whom they may infect. Most of us routinely accept other
vaccination requirements for public school students, for soldiers and for people traveling abroad. How is the COVID-19 vaccination different? The law usually recognizes two exemptions to vaccination requirements: medical and religious. If vaccination is medically counterindicated for certain individuals, the law should yield to the judgment of doctors and epidemiologists. A religious exemption based in the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, however, cannot be immune to challenge. Even if the person claiming the exemption can demonstrate that their belief is based on sincerely held religious belief, the claim should be overruled if the government can show that no other remedy can adequately satisfy the safeguards necessary for public health.

Rep. Moller fought for justice In 2019, Rep. Kelly Moller got a bill passed in the Minnesota Legislature creating a working group of experts on rewriting Minnesota’s laws on criminal sexual conduct. Many statutes were out of date and kept authorities from prosecuting some cases, denying justice for survivors. That task force made its report, and Rep. Moller proceeded to introduce legislation to carry out its recommendations. One statute, dating back to the 1880s, had an “intoxication loophole.” If someone who was voluntarily intoxicated was assaulted, there were very limited options for charging their perpetrator. In a case that was prosecuted, the Minnesota Supreme Court reversed the conviction, stating that the Legislature would have to enact changes for this type of charge to stick. There was a lot of negative media coverage in Minnesota and nationally over this outdated law. Rep. Moller closed this egregious loophole with bipartisan legislation

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following selected incidents in Shoreview: • Mailboxes and six storage units at • the Shoreview Grand Apartments in the 500 block of Harriet Avenue were reported broken into overnight Oct. 30-31. It is unknown if anything was stolen, or who the victims were. Video evidence and interviews are being gathered. • A Shoreview man, 21, was cited for instigating a fight at 4:13 p.m. Oct. 31 at a group home in the 3900 block of Virginia Circle, after Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputes were called out to the scene of an assault. • A Forest Lake woman out making the rounds with her children on Halloween night reported a resident in the 300 block of Oakwood Drive for taking a picture of her children trick-or-treating at his door. However, when she asked him to delete the photo of her children, he only verbally agreed to do so, but wouldn’t hand over his phone for her to verify. • A catalytic converter was reported stolen at 3:18 a.m. Nov. 3 from a vehicle in the 700 block of County Road F. A suspicious vehicle was seen leaving the area. • A Centerville woman, 20, was reported for causing a hit-and-run accident Nov. 3 in the 4500 block of Victoria Street N., resulting in damage to an unoccupied vehicle in a parking lot. Although she had left her phone number on the windshield of the vehicle, the registered owner of the parked vehicle, a Hugo man, could not get through to her answering service that wasn’t accepting messages. Deputies were called in to assist in setting up an information exchange. • A golf bag was reported stolen overnight from a vehicle parked in a lot in the 100 block of Grass Lake Place Nov. 5-6 after the truck bed cover was cut.
• Domestic harassment was reported at 8:16 a.m. Nov. 6 in the 5800 block of Oxford Street N. The complainant sought deputies’ expertise about how to report previously unreported abusive behavior, reportedly occurring since 2009. • Management at the Shoreview Target in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue N. reported a shopper for walking out of the store Nov. 6 without paying for merchandise. They requested the report be turned over to the Coon Rapids Police Department, as the subjet was currently being investigated in Coon Rapids for multiple incidents of a similar nature. • A Maplewood woman reported the passenger side window of her vehicle broken out Nov. 6 at the Rice Creek Dog Park in the 5900 block of Lexington Avenue N. after she returned to her parking spot following dog park activities. Nothing appeared to have been rummaged through or missing from the vehicle. • A Glenwood woman also reported the passenger side window of her vehicle broken out Nov. 6 at the Rice Creek Dog Park. She found her purse missing and had to cancel her bank cards following an attempted fraudulent transaction. Deputies advised the victim to cancel the rest of her credit cards and replace her driver’s license. • A Duluth man reported the catalytic converter cut off of his Mitsubishi Outland Sport while it was parked overnight Nov. 6-7 at a hotel in the 5900 block of Rice Creek Parkway. • Employees at the Freedom Valu Center in the 5900 block of Hodgson Road reported arriving to open up the store at 6:41 a.m. Nov. 7 and hearing the alarm sounding, the door unlocked and the cash register drawer missing. A video review showed cash and lottery tickets stolen by a person who had forced open the door. The case is under investigation.
• Two license plates were reported found in a car wash located in the 3800 block of Lexington Avenue on Nov. 7. Neither plate had been reported as stolen. Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office deputies contacted one owner, who thought the plate went missing at the car wash and requested pickup at that location. Deputies were unable to reach the other owner, so they placed the plate into property and mailed a notification to its owner. • A resident in the 500 block of Lake Ridge Drive reported a burglary Nov. 7 where his vehicle was stolen from an attached garage while he was out back mowing the grass. When he went around to the garage to collect the leaf blower, he discovered the garage door open and the vehicle missing. After being entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database, the vehicle was recovered in St. Paul Nov. 9 with the keys inside. However, the front and rear panels were damaged and a license plate was missing. • Deputies recovered a child’s bicycle Nov. 8 in the area of Hillview Road and Fairview Avenue N. Their check of area houses for a possible owner was unsuccessful, so the bike was placed into property for safekeeping. • A cash drawer was reported recovered Nov. 8 in the area of Hodgson Road and Heather Ridge Drive. Deputies are investigating whether the cash drawer was the one stolen during a Nov. 7 burglary at the Freedom Valu Center. • A resident in the 3400 block of Kent Street reported the catalytic converter stolen from his Hyundai Tucson as it was parked in the driveway overnight Nov. 8-9.
• A resident in the 4200 block of Sylvia Lane reported her vehicles rummaged through overnight Nov. 9-10 after thieves entered the garage using an electronic opener they found in another vehicle parked outside. After keys and an electric scooter were found stolen, the complainant changed all the locks and codes. • A juvenile was arrested Nov. 10 in St. Paul after he was caught stealing a motor vehicle from the 1000 block of Lois Drive. The victim was returning from walking his dog when he spotted the garage door left open and the vehicle with the keys inside gone. The subject had also caused damage to the garage door frame during the act of stealing the vehicle. When deputies spotted the stolen vehicle accompanied by an accomplice vehicle, they initiated a pursuit from a distance. The Minnesota State Patrol followed the suspect vehicles by camera to Oakdale, where they left the freeway. Investigators kept up the visual pursuit of the stolen vehicle all the way to the east side of St. Paul, where it stopped and parked on the side of the road. Investigators in unmarked cars boxed the stolen vehicle in so that it could not flee, and the driver was taken into custody. The case has been referred to the county attorney for consideration of charges. • A Stanberry, Missouri, man was arrested just before 1:00 a.m. Nov. 12 in the 1000 block of Gramsie Road on a narcotics charge after deputies on routine patrol spotted a male slumped over in the driver’s seat of a running vehicle in a hotel parking lot. On waking up the driver, deputies noted the smell of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle. After the driver gave deputies his consent to search the vehicle, they found a white, crystallike substance suspected of being narcotics inside the vehicle. The subject was then transported to the law enforcement center. Compiled by Loretta Harding
Shoreview joins other cities for new fire station BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER
The Shoreview City Council voted unanimously at a recent council meeting to approve a joint powers agreement (JPA) between the cities of Shoreview, Arden Hills and North Oaks for construction of a new headquarters fi re station for the Lake Johanna Fire Department in Arden Hills. “If you recall, in September of 2020, the City Council approved an agreement between the three cities for the purchase of the property and the future construction of the headquarters fi re station for the Lake Johanna Fire Department,” said Assistant City Manager Renee Eisenbeisz. “Following that approval, the fi re department purchased a 4-acre property on Pine Tree Drive in Arden Hills from Bethel University.” The cost of the property was $1.3 million, plus a contribution of up to $325,000 toward the cost of constructing a new entrance road into the property. According to Eisenbeisz, the property is considered to be an ideal location for the new station since it is significantly larger than the site of the current fi re station on Victoria Street and is on the south side of the railroad tracks, which will improve response times to southern Shoreview and Arden Hills. “The city of Shoreview recently submitted a $6.675 million capital bonding request for one-
half of the projected station cost to the state of Minnesota on behalf of the three cities,” Eisenbeisz said at the Nov. 15 City Council meeting. “During discussions with state personnel, it was noted that the land and future fi re station will need to be owned either by one of the three cities or a joint powers entity of the three cities.” Eisenbeisz said Shoreview city attorney Jim Kelly worked with the city manager and administrators of the three cities to develop a JPA for this purpose. Key points in the agreement include: • A four-person board with two elected officials from Shoreview and one each from Arden Hills and North Oaks. • It would take at least a three-fourths vote to approve any action. • The Lake Johanna Fire Department would need to transfer the property to the board. The cost share for funding of the new headquarters fi re station would be based on the current cost share formula between the cities (25% population, 25% households, 40% number of fire calls and 10% assessed value), which is updated annually. • Station construction would begin following the unanimous vote of the board, but no later than June 30, 2026. According to Eisenbeisz, the JPA has been approved by Arden Hills, and North Oaks is expected to vote on the JPA in the near future. Mayor Sandy Martin said City Manager Terry
Schwerm did a lot of the groundwork for the project and has played a huge role in overseeing all of the plans. “The hope and desire amongst the cities, and certainly with the fi re department, is to try and have this station construction begin earlier,” Schwerm said. “I know the cities will continue to work together towards moving this project forward.” Martin said she invited the city's legislatures to come to the City Council workshop on Dec. 20 to discuss the new fi re station regarding the bonding for the fi re department. “We've had a lot of involvement on this, and it is a really critical step for our fi re department,” Martin said. “This, in many ways, is a formality so that we can access state funding.” The next Shoreview City Council meeting is at 7 p.m. Monday, Dec. 6, in council chambers at City Hall, 4600 Victoria St. N., in Shoreview.

HOLIDAY LIGHTS CONTEST: Back for year 2, enter for bragging rights and prizes FROM PAGE 1
“The lights have different meanings to different people,” Johnson noted. Whether it’s to celebrate the birth of Christ or to cope with the gradual onset of the shortest days of the year, an opportunity to view holiday lights can be another reason to get families together. Press Advertising Manager Patty Steele has her own holiday lights tradition to uphold. “We go out and look at the Christmas lights every Christmas Eve. It’s a fun memory to go out with a group of people,” Steele said.
For those looking to do more than just beautify their lawn during the darker months, some holiday lights displays require a true engineer to design and execute some of the displays exhibited last year. “A few homes over the years have had just magnificent displays. There are two that stand out to me on Bald Eagle Lake,” Johnson recalled. “It’s like having Disney in our own backyard. The garage is lit up, and the house. There are different scenes as you drive by, and you’ll want to
pay attention to the upstairs window because there’s something special there.” Last year’s 20 submissions exceeded expectations, and this year Press Publications hopes to see another huge turnout. Holiday lights enthusiasts, your submissions will be accepted from now through 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 8. To enter the contest, visit presspubs.com/holiday lights. There you will need to enter information such as your name, address, information about your display as well as
photos of the display. Press readers will need to check out all of the entries, which will be printed in the newspaper the week of Dec. 21. Take some time to check out each of the displays, either in print, online or in-person, and then vote. Voting will begin on Press Publications’ website Dec. 20. Everyone will have a chance to vote for their favorite display once a day. The contest winners will be announced Jan. 4. First-place, second-place and third-place winners will get their photo in the paper,
receive gift cards from local businesses and, most importantly, get bragging rights! So take advantage of these above-freezing temperatures, turn on some Christmas tunes and start stringing lights! Submit your contest entries, and don’t forget to vote! Staff Writer Corinne Stremmel can be reached by emailing lowdownnews@presspubs. com or calling 651-407-1226.
Community thrift store stocked with treasures BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER
SHOREVIEW — A vacant dentist office that has been closed for nearly 15 years in the Shoreview Village Mall is now the home of the Overflow Community Thrift Store, a nonprofit founded by Cathy Oestreich and Cinthia Velasquez. “Both of us work in the schools as paras in special education, and we both have experience in working in thrift stores for job training people with special needs,” Oestreich said. “When everything was closing due to COVID, we just said we loved both things — the passion of working in the store and we loved working with that population — and we did it.” Velasquez said they thought the empty space in the Shoreview Village Mall would be a great place to fulfi ll their aspirations of a thrift store for the community and knew they were compatible business partners. “We began during the worst of the shutdown in November 2020, and used the shed in the back of the store as a drop-off location (open 24/7) because it was convenient for people and a non-contact way for people to drop off their donations,” Oestreich said. Eventually, there was an overflow of donations. Oestreich said they needed to expand to accommodate more items, and ended up acquiring additional space in the mall.
“Overflow is not just about stuff, it's about interflowing into the community,” Oestreich said. Velasquez added, “It's not about business, it's about community.” The Overflow Community Thrift Store takes donations of clothes, household items, books, Christmas decorations, crafts and other items, but not furniture. Oestreich said items are gently used and people get low-cost, beautiful goods. Oestreich said that within the thrift store’s mission statement is providing support employment and volunteer opportunities for people with disabilities. “We want to stress that they would come with a job coach, and we want to help people with disabilities feel like they are useful, valuable and have a purpose,” Oestreich said. “It's amazing to watch community happen between people here and how connections are made here.” Velasquez said she wants the public to know about the Overflow Community Thrift Store and they can drop off items they no longer need, want or have room for. “They can help us, and we can help them.” “Everyone everywhere is looking for community,” Oestreich said. “This is a place where you're not going through just a checkout line, but you're having a conversation, and we know many of our customers by name.” Velasquez said a lot of people who

come into the store don't call it a thrift store but a boutique. Oestreich added, “Some people call it therapy.” According to Oestreich, the nonprofit donates to other groups including schools, an autism program and the Salvation Army, which receive items the thrift store doesn't have room for. “The point of this was our passion for this, and this is truly our baby,” Velasquez said. “We really like working together and we have a common purpose,” Oestreich noted. The Overflow Community Thrift
Store is located at Shoreview Village Mall, 1069 Highway 96, in Shoreview. Hours are 1:30 to 6 p.m. Monday, 10:30 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

Residents express equity concerns at school board meeting BY NOELLE OLSON STAFF WRITER
During open forum at a recent Mounds View School Board meeting, five people spoke and two residents expressed concerns about the district's equity curriculum. Christine LaDuke, a school board candidate during the recent election, acknowledged the dedication and commitment of time represented by the school board and by the equity committee. “I truly believe that everyone involved in the decision-making process regarding our equity curriculum acted in good faith, believing that they were making decisions which would benefit students,” LaDuke said. “While I support the intent in the equity committee, I strongly object to the curriculum chosen to meet objectives. While I was campaigning, I did have parents submit to me various homework that their children had that the parents were upset about, so that's what I base this on.” She went on to say, “It confounds me and concerns me that as a team of intelligent and caring adults that this curriculum could have been approved. It is so contrary to our district values. It fails to honor every student and every culture. It devalues many of our teachers, it does not create a respectful environment and it does not promote community. In my opinion, it uses diversity — the diversity that we choose to celebrate — it uses to orchestrate division.” Paul Wickstrom, father of three Mounds View graduates, stated at the Nov. 9 school board meeting that he has a lot of respect and admiration for the teachers and the staff in the district and wants to see that continue in terms of the high-quality education that his children received at Mounds View High School. “I come tonight with some concern, especially after the latest election. If you choose to continue the use of the current equity curriculum, this district will experience declining academic achievement, increased tensions between students and increased anxiety among the student population,” Wickstrom said. “I don't believe this is what we want in our school district. The curriculum of our district should be predicated on a common and correct understanding of American history and based on the will of the people and on the ideals of our constitutional democratic republic.” He asked the school board to discuss equal opportunity versus equity. “That's
an important debate and needs to come out in the open.” Wickstrom urged parents in the district to pay attention to the national conversation — most notably, the Virginia 2021 state election and other school districts across the nation. “Within your households, ask your children questions about their day in the classroom and pay close attention to their questions,” Wickstrom said. “Inform yourselves about the direction of the curriculum development in the Mounds View School District.”
In other board action:
• Superintendent Chris Lennox publicly thanked all of the candidates for running for school board in the last election and congratulated candidate Yolanda Magee and current board members Shauna Bock and Diane Glasheen for winning the open seats on the school board. He also said school board Member Marre Jo Sager will be ending her term on the board and will be recognized at the next school board meeting Dec. 7. • The school board recognized students who participated in fall activities at both Mounds View High School and Irondale High School. School board Member Diane Glasheen spoke for the school board and congratulated the students on their success and wished them good luck. • A representative from the audit firm Malloy, Montague, Karnowski, Radosevich & Co. P.A. reviewed the district’s 2020-21 audited financial statements and supplemental reports. During the presentation to the school board, the representative commended the district for its excellence in financial reporting and issued the highest rating of audit reporting an auditor can give an organization. The board unanimously approved the audit report. • School board Treasurer Shauna Bock read the gifts the district received this period. There were nine gifts received for schools and programs for a total of $6,173,92 and 20 gifts received for the Ralph Reeder Food Shelf, totaling $50,709,77.
The next Mounds View School Board meeting is at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 7, at the District Center, 4570 Victoria St. N. in Shoreview. Noelle Olson is a staff writer for Press Publications. She can be reached at shoreviewnews@presspubs.com or 651-407-1229.

CHURCH BRIEF
The Minnesota Saints Chorale & Orchestra is returning this holiday season to Benson Great Hall at Bethel University for another Christmas concert, 7:30 to 8:45 p.m. Friday, Dec. 10. Joining the 70-person choir this year as guest soloist is South African pop-opera singer André Venter. A full orchestra, including harp and timpani, along with Benson Great Hall’s 4,000 pipe organ, will support the vocalists with a richness and depth of sound that reigns throughout the decorated hall. Song selection will include a blend of familiar and new. The evening will include lesser-known songs such as “There Is
Faint Music” and “I Will Light the Candles This Christmas,” along with traditional hymn favorites packaged in magnificent arrangements not commonly heard. One such arrangement by up-and-coming local composer Brian Gardner will debut at the concert, and it is from that piece the concert takes its name: “With Wondering Awe.” Most unique about the song selection is its Christ-centered focus. While many holiday concerts might create the feeling of a holly jolly sleigh ride, “With Wondering Awe” invites its audience not only to feel the festiveness of the season, but to also ponder the miraculous happenings of long-ago Bethlehem and the on-
going light Jesus Christ gives to our lives today.

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com November lived up to its reputation as one of our cloudiest months. The first week of the month, sunshine was plentiful but clouds moved in on November 10 and persisted through this past Sunday. It’s been a windy month as well as the battle of changing seasons with colder air keeping warmer air at bay. Last weeks gust of over 40 mph were certainly noticeable and won’t be missed. We now begin the coldest stretch of the year. My outlook doesn’t look bleak but calls for warmer than normal temperatures overall for the next six weeks. Side note: My 2022 weather calendar will be out soon!

Property tax homestead notice
The Ramsey County Assessor wants residents to know how fi ling a homestead application will affect 2022 property taxes and eligibility for a property tax refund. Residents who have purchased or moved into a property in the past year should contact the county assessor to fi le a homestead application if the
resident or a qualifying relative occupy the property as a homestead on or before Dec. 31, 2021. For agricultural property, a qualifying relative includes the child, grandchild, sibling or parent of the owner or owner’s spouse. For residential property, a qualifying relative also includes the owner’s uncle, aunt, nephew or niece. Residents must apply on or before Dec. 31, 2021. Once homestead is granted, annual applications are not necessary unless they are requested by the county assessor. Those who own or occupy a property as a qualifying relative should contact the
assessor by Dec. 31 if the use of the property has changed during the past year. Residents who sell, move, or for any reason no longer qualify for the homestead classification are required to notify the county assessor within 30 days of the change in homestead status. The Ramsey County Assessor – Homestead Unit can be contacted at 651-266-2040 or by email at AskHomesteads@ramseycounty.us. For more information about property taxes, visit www.ramseycounty.us.
