Medical manufacturer’s products likely made for someone you love BY SARA MARIE MOORE EDITOR

It turns out the bits of adhesive material manufactured beyond her lobby desk will save her niece’s life. Kari Ennulat, sales and marketing assistant at Innovize, a medical manufacturing company in Vadnais Heights, was shocked to fi nd out that the electrical insulator fi lm in her 19-year-old niece’s cardioverter-defibrillator came from the place where she works every day. The medical manufacturing company produces materials that are used by major medical device companies, said Dave Jessen, co-owner and vice president of sales and marketing. Ennulat discovered Innovize produces the adhesive used in the batteries of her niece’s defibrillator to prevent the battery from shorting out, she explained. Her niece, a pre-med student at Butler University in Indiana, was found passed out at a health club last year. Doctors discovered an electrical issue with her heart. The implanted cardioverter-defibrillator will shock it back, should it malfunction again. “So, it will save her life,” Ennulat said. The products made by the company are used in all Minnesota hospitals and across the country. “We do a lot of component parts and we also make a lot of finished devices,” Jessen said. The products are sold to internationally known medical device companies that in turn supply medical providers. Examples of products include patient and personal care products used for wound care, eye patches, breathing tube adhesives and wearable sensors. Innovize produces a sensor that monitors blood glucose and displays the levels on an iPhone. It also

continues to manufacture the components that stick to the skin for traditional blood glucose monitoring. It is working on a new product that will help detect breast cancer without requiring a mammogram. It also produces wound care products for veterinary care. Innovize often works directly with its clients to

engineer their designs in order to reduce costs and create innovation, Jessen said. Many of Innovize’s supplies for production come from 3M nearby. A $2 million production of items that test for water purity was moved from Mexico to Vadnais SEE INNOVIZE, PAGE 10

Curling league comes to the east metro BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER

St. Croix Valley curling enthusiasts once needed to travel across the metro to get their fi x of the sport, but thanks to the St. Croix Curling Center, that has recently changed. Started by a group of local curlers, the league launched in November, bringing the ice-based sport to the east metro. Stillwater resident Jim Hosvall is among the league’s founding members. He calls himself a “lifelong curler” and learned the sport from his parents while growing up in North Dakota. Since moving to Minnesota, he has been a regular presence at the St. Paul Curling Club but long wished

for a closer facility. “There isn’t any curling club in between St. Paul, Rice Lake and Eau Claire. There’s nothing in the St. Croix Valley, so there’s a definite need,” Hosvall said. It’s a need that he and four of his friends are working to fulfi ll. “We’re building interest. We’re starting this club to see if there’s enough interest and demand, and if there is, at some point, we hope to maybe build a club out here,” he said. Every Sunday afternoon, the St. Croix Curling Center holds two games on Sunday afternoons at the St. Mary’s Point Ice Arena in Lakeland. SEE CURLING, PAGE 10

Rotary polio eradication efforts successful Polio Plus, the global polio eradication initiative of Rotary, the World Health Organization and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, is close to eliminating polio worldwide. Rotary launched the Polio Plus program in 1985 and has used its network of 1.2 million members in 200 countries to raise more than $1.7 billion and provide countless volunteers. Polio will be the second human disease in history, after smallpox, to be eradicated worldwide. Since 1985 the number of polio cases worldwide has plummeted from 350,000 per year to 27 new cases of wild poliovirus type 1 confi rmed to date in 2018. Until polio is eradicated worldwide, all countries remain at risk of outbreaks. Arden Hills/Shoreview Rotary Club has contributed over $122,000 during the past 30 years to Rotary International for projects including Polio Plus. Arden Hills/Shoreview Rotary members donate individually to this effort, and the club organizes fundraisers such as Taste of Hops in August to support polio eradication. While leading the campaign to eradicate polio, Rotary reminds everyone locally, at all ages, to see your health care provider to stay up to date with immunizations, including your annual flu shot.

Michels Homes named top remodeler NORTH OAKS — For the second time, Michels Homes has been named Remodeler of the Year by the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC)-Housing First Minnesota. The award was presented at the Building Industry Gala (BIG) night Oct. 25 at the Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior Lake. The BATC-Housing First Minnesota Remodeler of the Year award is presented to the company that exemplifies the highest standards in business conduct, as judged by their trade partners and customers. With over 200 exemplary remodeling companies in our membership, earning our Remodeler of the Year honor is a truly remarkable accomplishment,” said BATC-Housing First Minnesota Executive Director David Siegel. “We are so pleased to honor Michels homes this year. Their commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of their business—from design to service and everything in between.”

“We were humbled and honored to receive this award from BATC-Housing First Minnesota,” said Andy Michels, vice president of Michels Homes. “Our team couldn’t do this without the support of our spouses, our customers who have the vision and trust to hire our fi rm, the architects, designers and our talented and dedicated workforce who make it all happen. This is a team effort.” “Michels Homes is one of the shining stars on every level in the Twin Cities home industry. It goes without saying that their quality of build is beyond reproach, but it is the way they carry themselves individually

COMMUNITY BRIEF Bring holiday lights to a drop-off location Recycle right this holiday season. As you deck the halls, you may fi nd a strand or two of holiday lights that no longer work, or maybe you’ve made the switch to LED bulbs and have old strands to get rid of. Bring worn-out holiday lights to a convenient drop-off location. These items can be recycled, but only at drop-off locations. If they are put into curbside recycling bins, holiday lights can get wrapped and tangled around the heavy machinery and equipment at recycling facilities. Like plastic bags that get into a recycling facility, these cause downtime and can be hazardous for workers to try to remove from the machinery. Go to recycleminnesota.org for a listing of drop-off locations near you.

as a company that really makes them outstanding in our eyes,” said Lance Anderson, Admit One Home Systems CEO and BATC-Housing First associate. “They are kind, loyal, accountable, and (they) seek equitable and mutually satisfying relationships at every level— client, subcontractor and other associators. They give of their time to help make this community a better one by serving on boards, committees and task forces. When they tell you something, you automatically know it to be true. They just don’t deal with people in any other way than a genuine one. They are an example to any young remodeling/building company as to how to conduct yourself to become an industry legacy company. We are proud to be associated with Michels Homes and hope to be for many, many years to come.” Michels Homes is a fourth-generation family owned and operated residential new homes and remodeling company.

Snowbirds in Florida

M

idwest folks of retirement age head south beginning in October as do waterfowl and other species with wings. Florida, Arizona, Texas, California and New Mexico are the major destinations. Kathy and I spend most of November at Ft. Myers, Florida aboard Front Page. We reunite with so many friends at Legacy Harbour, it is similar to coming home. Several of the men enjoy morning coffee at the marina office veranda. Topics range from boating problems, economy and the absurdity of Florida ballot counting rules and procedures. This group is as much divided on politics as is the country. The “B Dock” group enjoys converAbout the sation most days, weather permitTown ting, at “Docktails”. They also find opportunities for potlucks, dinners Gene Johnson out and social events, such as observing sandcastle building at Ft. Myers Beach or attending a theatre production. FORTUNATELY THE ELECTION is over, or is it? It seems like campaigning has begun for 2020. The many women elected to Congress may bring a moderate approach to the country’s problems and bi-partisan support will be gained. On the other hand a divided Congress may stalemate, pleasing Wall Street. Seniors are struggling to understand Medicare health insurance supplements with the approaching Dec. 7 deadline. Legal immigration vs. asylum rulings are facing the caravan of people at the border and the courts are testing the options. Why do these people want to come to the United States? Jobs, freedom, safety and dreams of a better life are all reasons. THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY was a great reminder of what this country is all about. A Constitution that still works after 200 years is amazing. Can you name the five freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment? Maybe this would be a good topic for a family dinner discussion. James Madison wrote 17 amendments to the Constitution before he whittled it down to 10. In November, a publisher friend, Larry Atkinson of Mobridge, South Dakota, and I attended a First Amendment Festival at Florida Gulf Coast University. This was timely after our president called the liberal media an “enemy of the people.” Add to this the Saudi killing of the American journalist Kamal Khashoggi in Turkey. One Festival session was on “Fact or Fake?” We now have a fake news invasion and that suggests social media is not social but may be becoming harmful. Misinformation is stubborn. Studies prove we focus on what we want to see or what we agree with. We need to understand algorithms and realize if we use Facebook, we are labeled. Thus we are kept in our comfort zones with internet information. We need to learn to read across the aisle, understand what is opinion and what is not. We need to remember that journalism is essential to a democracy. WE SPENT THANKSGIVING in Ocala, Florida, with my niece Cynthia, husband, Steve and son, Jonathan. Also joining in were two nephews and their spouses who were originally from Clinton, Wisconsin. Family is important and the relationships need regular nourishment. Many families are faced with separation due to military service, deaths, job location economic limitations and impaired relationships. As families grow and expand, it gets more difficult to bring them together. We bring most of our family together the first Saturday of December for the Bethel University Festival of Christmas Concert and Smorgasbord. Enjoy the Christmas celebration of the birth of Jesus and recognize the purpose of God sending His Son to earth 2,000 years ago so each of us has the opportunity to choose eternal life.

Your legal rights: Financial powers of attorney

I

t is usually best for people to make their own decisions on matters that significantly affect their lives. In some cases, however, people become unable to do so because of health or cognitive impairments. In these situations, it is important for people to have someone they trust who can make decisions for them. Establishing a power of attorney may be something to consider. What is a financial power of Movers & attorney? A financial power Shakers of attorney is a docthat gives Lori Swanson ument someone permission to act on another person’s behalf. When a person creates a power of attorney, they are considered the “principal.” The individual to whom they give this permission is called their “agent” or “attorney-in-fact.” This individual does not need to be an attorney, but should be someone the person greatly trusts. There has been an uptick in recent years of financial fraud by agents who abuse the authority granted to them under a power of attorney. The person selected as the agent should be responsible, honest, and diligent. When establishing a power of attorney, a person must decide how much authority they want their agent to have over their affairs. A general power of attorney gives an agent the ability to act on a person’s behalf in all of their affairs, while a

limited power of attorney grants an agent this authority only in specific situations. A person may also choose to make their power of attorney “durable,” which means it stays in place even if the person becomes incompetent or incapacitated. A principal can also revoke a power of attorney. For example, somebody facing surgery may complete a power of attorney on a temporary basis, but then revoke it once they are healed and out of the hospital. When should I use a power of attorney? A power of attorney may be a good idea for people who are unable or who may become unable in the future to manage their financial affairs or make other decisions for themselves. Examples of powers people can give to their agent are: • To use a person’s assets to pay their everyday living expenses. To manage benefits from Social Security, Medicare, or other government programs. • To handle transactions with their bank and other financial institutions. • To file and pay a person’s taxes. • To manage a person’s retirement accounts. How do I create a power of attorney? A power of attorney must be in writing, signed in front of a notary, dated, and clear on what powers are being granted. If a person wishes to make the power of attorney durable (i.e., to last even if they become incapacitated), they must include a statement such as: “This power of attorney shall not be affected

by incapacity or incompetence of the principal.” It is not necessary to have a lawyer prepare a power of attorney, but consulting with one can help ensure that the power of attorney is constructed in a way that aligns with the person’s wishes. When does a power of attorney end? A mentally competent person can remove a power of attorney at any time with a signed document. If a power of attorney is not removed, it ends with a person’s death. Where can I get a sample form? A statutory power of attorney short form is available on the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office website at: www.ag.state.mn.us/ Consumer/Handbooks/Probate/ PowerOfAtty.pdf. This form is prepared according to statutory requirements. It allows a person to create a power of attorney, choose which powers they wish to delegate to their agent, and identify whether or not the power of attorney will be durable. Before completing the form, the principal and agent should carefully read all pages of the form, including the instructions at the top of the first page. In addition, some banks and financial companies have their own power of attorney forms. Preparing additional, organization-specific forms may make it easier for an agent to work with certain organizations with which the principal does business. Lori Swanson is Minnesota’s attorney general.

When the sunshine leaves for winter, don’t let it take your Vitamin D!

F

rom October to March, Minnesota residents wistfully crave the sunlight while dreaming of those distant, bright summer days. During the winter months, we are missing many of the sun’s benefits beyond warm temperatures – vitamin D being one. In fact, vitamin D is one of the most prevalent nutrient deficiencies in the U.S. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), over 40 percent of U.S. adults are deficient in vitamin D. When our skin is exposed to direct sunlight, vitamin D is synthesized in the body and hence, termed “The Sunshine Vitamin”. We can also receive vitamin D Movers and through food sources in our diet. Both routes yield vitamin D, which Shakers serves many important functions for our health. Originally, vitamin Kate Watkins D was only recognized for building and maintaining strong bones. Today, research has revealed even more benefits, such as defending against chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Vitamin D may also have a role in boosting immunity and mood – pesky winter colds and seasonal depression sound familiar, anyone? Although the sun is our ultimate source of vitamin D, many people cannot rely on sunlight for

adequate levels. Physical barriers like sunscreen, clothing, windows, clouds, or geographical latitude all block exposure to direct sunlight and, therefore, block vitamin D production. Especially during the winter, the sun is at too low of an angle for our skin cells to properly absorb the light rays needed for its synthesis. Further, some individuals are at a higher risk for vitamin D deficiency including those with darker skin tones, older adults, and breastfed infants. Considering all of these obstacles, it is clear why vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent and a leading public health concern. During the summertime when the sun is at a higher angle, most of us can meet our vitamin D needs through 5-30 minutes of unprotected, direct sun exposure between 10 AM and 3 PM at least twice a week. However, it is important to note that no research studies have determined whether sunsourced vitamin D synthesis can occur without increasing our risk of skin cancer. For this reason, the safest plan is always to protect our skin from the sun while getting our vitamin D through food or supplements. Vitamin D is not naturally found in many food sources, but is sometimes fortified. See the table below and check nutrition facts labels in your home for vitamin D content. For those who do not regularly consume these foods and have limited sun exposure, a supplement may be the best option.

LEGISLATIVE BRIEF

Consult your physician for an appropriate dose because taking too much can also harm your health. Considering the availability of food and supplement sources, we can embrace another Minnesota winter with vitamin D on our side to protect our bones from icy sidewalk falls, to fi ght the flu season, and to keep our moods bright. Kate Watkins is a graduate of Mahtomedi High School and currently in her senior year of college at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, pursuing a degree in Dietetics and Nutrition.

Inaction on gun control is complicity An assault rifle was used to murder 11 people in Pittsburgh. A high-capacity magazine was used to murder 12 people in Thousand Oaks. In my opinion, ex-Representative Randy Jessup and ex-Speaker of the House Kurt Daudt are complicit in all of these murders because they belong to the group of politicians who refused to outlaw the ownership of assault rifles, bump stocks and high-capacity magazines. They also refused to support background checks for all gun sales. The voters of District 42A are to be congratulated for removing Randy Jessup from the Legislature, but the job is not done. Bills outlawing assault rifles, bump stocks and high-capacity magazines in Minnesota must be introduced in the Legislature and any politician — Democrat or Republican — that doesn’t support those bills must be removed from office. Background checks must be made mandatory for all gun sales. We may not have stopped mass shootings yet, but the voters in District 42A have made a start. We will get there! Greg Gross Shoreview

NOVEMBER 27, 2018

RAMSEY COUNTY SHERIFF REPORTS The Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office reported the following incidents:

North Oaks • Responding to a medical assist call the morning of Nov. 9 in the 5900 block of Centerville Road, deputies found a deceased female, age 68. An investigation found her cause of death to be from natural causes. • A woman called 911 after finding her 76-yearold husband not breathing in their backyard on Evergreen Lane the afternoon of Nov. 10. The man was determined to have died of natural causes.

Shoreview • A Hugo man attempting to move his vehicle from the scene of an apartment fi re in the 4100

block of Lexington Avenue was ordered to stop as he was interfering with fire operations. The 25-year-old refused to cease moving his vehicle and was booked into jail on an obstruction with force charge. The cause of the apartment fi re was determined to be from unattended boiling oil. • Deputies provided a list of wildlife contractors the afternoon of Nov. 7 that could help homeowners in the 200 block of Dennison Avenue rid their fi replace chimney of a squirrel. • Burglars broke into a storage unit Nov. 7 in the 4000 block of Victoria Street, rummaging through personal belongings but rejecting the contents. • When a driver failed to yield to oncoming traffic at the intersection of Red Fox Road and Lexington Avenue the evening of Nov. 9, the inevitable occurred. The guilty driver was found to be impaired and taken into custody on charges of fourth-degree DWI and failure to yield to an

oncoming vehicle. • An 87-year-old local man was found deceased the morning of Nov. 6 in his home in the 3500 block of Rustic Place. The cause of his death was attributed to natural causes. • A man attempted to cash a forged check for more than $1,900 the afternoon of Nov. 8 at an unidentified place of business in the 1000 block of Highway 96. That didn’t work, and the 43-year-old suspect was jailed on a felony forgery charge. • A victim reported that an unknown suspect opened a Target credit card account in his name on Nov. 9, charging $223 worth of baby formula to the account. • A 24-year-old Cottage Grove woman left her wallet on top of her car in the 3500 block of Lexington Avenue on Nov. 10 and drove away. A thief found the wallet, and credit cards inside were put to immediate use at various locations.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Extra DWI Enforcement Nov. 21 – Dec. 29 The holidays are fi lled with joy, happiness and time together with family and friends. Too often the joy turns to sorrow when a family is notified of a loved one’s tragic death on Minnesota roads due to someone driving impaired. To help keep families together this holiday season, more than 300 law enforcement agencies across Minnesota are teaming up to get impaired drivers off the road. Officers, deputies and troopers statewide will be participating in an extra DWI enforcement campaign starting Nov. 21 and running on weekends through Dec. 29. “As people host holiday parties, it’s

crucial for everyone to have a plan before consuming alcohol,” said Mike Hanson, Office of Traffic Safety director. “As your guests arrive, ask them about their plans, and if they don’t have a plan, get them a ride home or offer them a bed for the night. It’s much better to lie in a bed than a coffin or jail cell.” The decision to get behind the wheel after drinking is costing too many people their lives over the holiday season. The choice to drive drunk has contributed to 28 deaths on Minnesota roads from the day before Thanksgiving through Dec. 30 in the last five years (2012-2017).

DWI consequences • Loss of license for up to a year, thousands of dollars in costs and possible jail time. • Repeat DWI offenders, as well as fi rst-time offenders, arrested at 0.16 and above blood-alcohol-concentration level (BAC) must use ignition interlock in order to regain legal driving privileges or face at least one year without a driver’s license. • First-time offenders arrested with a BAC of 0.16 or above are required to use interlock for one year. • Offenders with three or more offenses are required to use interlock for three to six years, or they will never regain driving privileges.

Speak up and plan a sober ride Offer to be a designated driver or be available to pick up a loved one anytime, anywhere. If you see an impaired person about to get behind the wheel, get them a safe ride home. Plan for a safe ride: Designate a sober driver; use a safe, alternative transportation option; or stay at the location of the celebration. Buckle up — the best defense against a drunk driver. Report drunk driving — call 911 when witnessing impaired driving behavior. Be prepared to provide location, license plate number and observed dangerous behavior.

DNR reminder: Avoid early ice CITY OF NORTH OAKS PLANNING COMMISSION VACANCY The City of North Oaks Planning Commission has a vacancy in 2019. Residents interested in serving on the Planning Commission should submit a letter of interest to City Administrator Mike Robertson at North Oaks City Hall, 100 Village Center Drive, Suite 230, North Oaks, MN 55127, or email it to mrobertson@cityofnorthoaks.com.

The Planning Commission is advisory to the City Council and meets once a month on the last Thursday of the month, two weeks before each Council meeting. In 2019 Commissioners will be working on a variety of development applications as well as responding to requests for variances and conditional use permits. Questions may be directed to City Hall at (651) 792-7750. Michael Robertson, City Administrator Published one time in the Shoreview Press on November 27, 2018.

With ice forming on Minnesota lakes, outdoor enthusiasts may be tempted to get out before ice is thick enough to support foot traffic. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conservation officers have a message: stay off the ice until at least 4 inches of new, clear ice is present. “Each year we see people going out on the ice before giving it enough time for a solid freeze. People unexpectedly fall through and, sadly, lives have been lost because it was just too soon to be out on the ice,” said Regional Enforcement Manager Capt. Cory Palmer. “While no ice is 100 percent safe, we recommend following the DNR ice thickness guidelines before heading out.” “On average, three to four people have died each winter season on Minnesota water over the past decade,” cautioned Lisa Dugan, DNR boat and water safety outreach coordinator. “Most of those deaths occurred with someone operating a snowmobile or ATV on the ice.” Ice thickness may vary greatly across a single body of water, making it important to check the ice conditions before heading out. “In addition to checking conditions and being prepared with an ice safety kit, the most important piece of equipment to have on the ice is a life jacket,” Dugan said. “By wearing, not just carrying, a life jacket, the odds of surviving a fall into extremely cold water increase and could save your life.” Once out on the ice, a safety kit is a good idea, should the ice give way. An ice safety kit should include rope, ice picks, an ice chisel and tape measure. Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return.

Hugo Memory Café creates haven for those dealing with memory loss BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD EDITOR

HUGO — A concept that originated in the Netherlands is slowly seeping into the U.S. and becoming more and more popular in Minnesota. Every fourth Wednesday of the month, FamilyMeans will host a Walking Memory Café from 1:30-3 p.m. at Rice Lake Centre, 6900 137th St. N., Hugo. A memory café is a welcoming place for individuals with Alzheimer’s or any type of dementia or other brain disorders, as well as their caregivers. Whereas some cafés focus more on education, others may implement activities. A unique element of Hugo’s café is that participants will get a little bit of exercise. “The ultimate goal is the social connection to others in your community,” said FamilyMeans Community Educator Jenny West. “We are hoping the later afternoon is a good time because some people might nap during that time, so it will keep them awake, get them outdoors, get them that physical exercise and maybe that will help them sleep at night.” FamilyMeans, a nonprofit organization headquartered in Stillwater, offers a variety of services such as financial and bankruptcy services and education; counseling and mental health services; divorce services; caregiver support and youth enrichment programs. In 2016, the organization began offering a 10-week Memory Club twice each year for individuals in the early stage of diagnosis as well as their caregivers.

CAREGIVERS AT A GLANCE • An A estimated ti t d 736,000 736 000 (1 in i 6) Minnesotans Mi t provide id regular l care or assistance to a friend or family member who has a health problem, long-term illness or disability. • The total number of Washington County residents over the age of 65 is expected to grow by 70 percent between 2015 and 2030, while the population aged 0-64 will grow only 5 percent. • Caregivers have higher levels of depression and are twice as likely to experience chronic illness as non-caregivers. More than half of caregivers report feeling overwhelmed.

Source: FamilyMeans “At the end of every session, I would have people say, ‘Well, now what. We want to stay connected to the people we have met through the club,’” West said. “After every session, I would tell my boss we needed to do a memory café.” By the end of 2017, FamilyMeans set a goal to start cafés in Washington County. In June, the first one was rolled out in Lake Elmo, another in Woodbury in July and one in Cottage Grove in August. Hugo hosted its first earlier this week on Sept. 26. Currently in Anoka County, there are two memory cafés, one in Coon Rapids and another in Fridley. The first half of Hugo’s café session will be focused on discussion and education. During the second half, participants can walk around Rice Lake Centre (if they choose) while talking with people who understand what they are going through. “The biggest part of a memory café is a community setting that can be open to everyone and to

connect others,” West explained. “They share something in common and what that commonality is, is a dementia diagnosis. And they share their journey, their wisdom, they share time together, but it is in a relaxed environment.” Mary Rivard, ForeverWell coordinator at the Forest Lake YMCA, heard about the new memory café and couldn’t be more thrilled for Hugo. Rivard has a very personal experience with memory cafés, as her 91-year-old mother attended one in St. Paul for a year and a half. “It was really good with my mom’s early-stage dementia. It was good to go to a group that was full of new and different faces, of different ages, husbands, wives, daughters, mothers, friends bringing friends ...” she said. “It opened up her world a little bit more and she was able to have more stimulating conversations.” When her mother first started attending the café, Rivard said she was shy and didn’t participate in a lot of the discussions, but toward the end she became the social butterfly she had been before the diagnosis. “It gave her such a comfortable, easy opportunity to connect with other people without feeling judged,” Rivard said, encouraging participants to give the memory cafés more than one try. To sign up for Hugo’s Walking Memory Café, contact West at 651-789-4015 or jwest@familymeans.org. Quad Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

CURLING CLUB: Winter season starts in January FROM PAGE 1

Hosvall hopes that the league will eventually have enough money to construct its own facility, but for now, sharing space with hockey teams will do. “The facility will have five sheets of ice converted each Sunday from the hockey arena, so it’s literally going to be played on the same ice as the hockey,” Hosvall said. “We’ll have room for five sheets of curling.” Though curling is a centuries-old sport, its popularity has only recently boomed. “It’s become more and more popular lately, really especially since last winter, when the U.S. men

won the gold medal (at the Winter Olympics),” Hosvall said. Since then, interest in curling has skyrocketed—instructional clinics have popped up throughout the country, and memberships in local leagues An avid curler himself, Hosvall enjoys the accessible nature of the sport. “Anybody can play, and people of any age, gender or experience level can enjoy it,” he said. “What I like is that it’s a combination of physical activity and great sociability.” The upcoming winter season will start in mid-January and run for nine weeks.

INNOVIZE: ‘Creating a culture and products that improve people’s lives’ FROM PAGE 1

Heights because Innovize was able to make the process more efficient through its use of rotary printing and cutting, he added. The Mexican manufacturer had been using a flat-sheet production method. The company uses high-tech machines and robots that run at the command of the company’s 150 employees and 20 temporary workers. It has never had a technology-related layoff. It has three shifts and three buildings located in northwest Vadnais Heights. The culture of the company is well known in its field.

Nurse takes knowledge to Zambia in hopes of ripple effect BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD PRESS EDITOR

After two medical mission trips to Zambia, a Lino Lakes resident has not only changed the lives of others but developed a new perspective on life. Monica Stoesz has been a nurse at Abbott Northwestern Hospital since 1995. As a Christian and nurse, a medical mission trip has always been on her bucket list. “I grew up in Christian family that very much emphasized serving others and giving out of your own blessing. You are blessed to be a blessing,” she said. “With my line of work, it has been in the back of mind for years to do a short-term medical mission trip, but it is not always something you can do when your kids are little. I have waited all of these years and finally got to go.” In 2016, Stoesz went on her fi rst trip to Zambia and returned in August 2018. Both times, Stoesz went on the trip with her church Bethlehem Baptist in Mounds View and worked with Action International Ministries, particularly the ministry project Churches Ready to Overcome Silence and Stigma (CROSS). The project exists to disciple and equip Zambian churches with the knowledge and application of the word of God in their response to issues of HIV/ AIDS and domestic abuse. According to Action International Ministries, HIV/AIDS impacts the entire nation. Fifteen percent of Zambians are HIV-positive with a 20-25 percent urban HIV infection rate. Only 28 percent of adults know their HIV status. Life expectancy at birth is around 50 years old. There are many factors that contribute to the spread of HIV in Zambia such as marital unfaithfulness, domestic violence and lack of concern for orphans and widows. “They are trying to help them get past the stigma, so they take their medications, get tested, get treatment ... so they get help they need,” Stoesz explained. While in Zambia, Stoesz put on 12 workshops for roughly 120 people who were bused in from area churches to learn about wound care, particularly how to take care of cuts, burns and bed sores. Other workshops also included topics such as hand-wash-

ing, washing clothes and dishes, and brushing teeth. “They are basic concepts that we teach our kids here (in the U.S.) by the time they fi nish high school ... these people don’t,” she said. Locals also learned about how to give someone a bed bath if they are too sick to get out of bed, how to change the linen underneath the patient, how to reposition them or transfer them from a bed to a chair, nutrition, dehydration and end of life. “I was trying to teach them how to take care of that with the resources that they have, that’s the tricky part,” Stoesz explained. “A lot of people there don’t even have Tylenol or ibuprofen, so it is all about how they can help with the pain by using things like massage, talking to them, reading Scripture to them, praying with them and singing songs to them.” She added, “The people who came to these classes were so thrilled to have this information. Either they walked away fi lled with the joy of just soaking in all of the information, or there would be that sadness because they wish they would have known that earlier and perhaps their loved one would still be here.”

Even after the workshops are done, Stoesz said there is a ripple effect, as the people who participated in the workshops then go back to their communities and share the knowledge with people they know, and the message continues to spread. Both trips have given Stoesz a new perspective on life and made her grateful for the quality of life in the U.S. “People there have so little and yet they can still have joy on their faces and sing their hearts out. It is very beautiful,” she said. As to whether Stoesz will return to Zambia, she said “that is in God’s hands.” Stoesz encourages everyone to get out of their comfort zone and be a blessing to others, whether that means simply giving up a cup of coffee to donate money or going abroad on a mission. “If there is something on your heart to try, do it. You will be blessed in the end. If everyone did something to makes someone’s life better, easier or more fi lled with joy, it would help so much.” Quad Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

Running strong: Mustangs earn trip to Nike nationals BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Cross country is a unique sport in one intriguing respect, which a Mounds View team has capitalized upon mightily. Only in cross country can a high school team try to advance all the way to a national meet, following the state competition that ends the season for every other sport. The Mounds View boys became fixated on that lofty goal last summer — and they succeeded. The Mustangs will be one of 20 elite teams competing in Nike Nationals on Saturday in Portland, Oregon. “We feel very honored to say we qualified for nationals,” reflected Austin Streit, the team’s lead runner. “I’m very proud of all the guys.” After placing second in the state meet behind Edina on Nov. 3, the Mustangs entered Nike Heartland Regionals for the fourth straight year on Nov. 10. This time, they out-legged Edina, along with the state champions of Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota, among 35 teams from seven states, at Yankton Trail Park in Sioux Falls, S.D. Along with runner-up Middleton, WI, they qualified for nationals. Last year, the Mustangs placed 13th at Nike regionals after placing fifth at state. With most of that squad returning, they resolved last summer to aim much higher, which delighted coach Ross Fleming, who adjusted their training accordingly. “We knew we had pretty good personnel coming back,” said Streit, “and we were running a lot of miles over the summer, so we decided to gear for state and (Nike) regionals, rather than for section and state like we usually do.” The Mustangs were led, as always, by two seniors, Streit in 11th place with 15:32 and Lukas Hessini in 30th with 15:51, among 305 total runners. They were followed by juniors Finn Sokolowski 66th (16:08), Alec Nelson 67th (16:09) and Will Sacay 88th (16:14)

for the five counting scores. Their 6-7 runners were eighth-grader Elliott McArthur (16:26) and senior Nehemiah Gaim (17:23). The Mustangs — who bought new uniforms for this meet, white and purple, rather than their usual green and gold — scored 135 points, followed by Middleton (WI) 156, Edina 164, Stillwater 179 and Wayzata 191 in the top five. It was a bone-chilling day for a run, by the way, 22 degrees with a 15 mph wind, in stark contrast to a year earlier when it was 45 and sunny. Asked how it went so well, Fleming assessed: “Our top three, Austin, Lukas, and Finn, have

been so reliable all year that we take them for granted, but the real difference-maker this time was Alec Nelson, who ran his best race of the year. Alec is usually our No. 5, with Will at four, and Will ran really well, too.” Nelson was third on the team for much of the race, ahead of Sokolowski, who was battling a mild illness. Sokolowski got past Nelson at the end but only by a second. “This was first time our 3-4 runners have been that close,” Fleming said. “That’s what we had (at the Nike race) that Edina didn’t have.” The awards ceremony was as exciting as the race. Nike likes to ramp up the drama by not announcing the standings until the awards ceremony. Normally at cross country meets, the results churned out by the computers are announced within minutes. “It was just like the old days when I ran,” said Fleming, referring to the era of coaches turning in hand-written cards and officials tabulating results with old-fashioned arithmetic. “It was a half-hour before we knew.” Nike officials counted down from ten. The Mustangs’ excitement grew when Wayzata, Stillwater and Edina, whom they figured they had beaten, were announced as fifth, fourth, and third. “When Edina was announced, our (team’s) parents really started cheering,” Fleming said. They finally knew this huge victory was theirs when, just like at Miss America, the runner-up was named, and it was Middleton. “Our kids went crazy,” Fleming said. “They were rolling on the ground and everything.” There’s a video of this at RunnerSpace. com, a Nike web site. “We kind of freaked out,” acknowledged Streit. The Mustangs are going first-class now. Nike will fly them to Portland (they leave Thursday). Nike also gives each national participant a bounty of apparel, including spikes, training shoes, shirts, shorts, arm sleeves and warmups for the national race, to be held at Nike’s golf course in Portland.

SPORTS BRIEF Mustang skaters grab first win Mounds View girls hockey broke into the win column beating East Ridge 5-3 with Audrey Jackson pumping in three goals on Nov. 20. Ava Bullert and Sophie Coltvert also scored and Teagan Johnson made 43 saves. The Mustangs took a couple of beatings from highly-ranked teams before that, falling to No. 4 Wayzata 9-1 and No. 6 Hill-Murray 8-1.

WEEKLY AVERAGES

We enjoyed a brief break from run of cold weather and NOV. 28-DEC. 4, 2018 what a better time for it, during Thanksgiving. The “milder” High 30° temperatures on Thursday and Friday, 36º and 48º Low 16° respectively, offered the opportunity to finish up on some yard work. I noticed some folks out on area ponds that have been %Sun 39% frozen over for several weeks. Fishermen ventured off the pier PCP 0.37” by the VFW on White Bear Lake on Sunday, but after drilling a few holes, wandered back as they deemed it unsafe. Large areas of White Bear are still open but that will be changing soon with the colder temperatures. Friend Dorian is hoping the cold with no snow will give him a chance to take the ice boat out; looks promising. Sorry snowmobilers, not your time yet.

Crown Iron Works held a groundbreaking ceremony for its new global headquarters in Blaine Oct. 31.

Crown Iron Works breaks ground on global headquarters in Blaine BY SHANNON GRANHOLM QUAD PRESS EDITOR

BLAINE — Crown Iron Works broke ground on its $14 million global headquarters located at 9879 Naples St. NE in Blaine on Halloween. For the past 40 years or so, Crown Iron Works has been located in Roseville. “We have outgrown the space. We have zero extra office space and our innovation center, our piloting capability, is much smaller than we would like it to be,” said Mike Hoerle, Crown’s vice president of Global Engineering. “We will more than triple our innovation space with this buildout.” Blaine Economic Development Coordinator Erik Thorvig explained that the city fi rst learned Crown was looking for a new location in April 2016 and around a year ago is when “they really started to look closely at the site in Blaine.” He noted that land cost, location and the unique nature of the site probably tipped the scale toward Blaine. “The cost of land in Blaine is typically cheaper than when you get closer in, whether it is Shoreview, Arden Hills or New Brighton. Real estate taxes are typically lower in Anoka County,” Thorvig said, adding the close proximity to I-35W and the fact that the site is set off on its own and not a part of a business park was probably attractive to Crown. Hoerle said, “We searched the world over. We really searched for an area around our existing place because we are an engineering company and our intellectual property is our people, so we wanted our people to have a place that didn’t greatly increase their commute ...We looked at a lot of other spaces, but this particular site in Blaine seemed to be the one that fit us the best.” The project was officially approved by the City Council in June. “One of the things that really attracted us to this company is the type of jobs they are bringing. There are over 100 jobs coming and over 70 percent of those jobs pay over $100,000,” Thorvig said. “And then the fact that it is their global headquarters and they are going to have a lot of people coming to Blaine was attractive.” The city of Blaine also provided a financial incentive package in the amount of $1.2 million, which requires Crown Iron Works to add an additional 15 jobs with an average salary of at least $90,000 within the next two years. Hoerle explained the company currently has about 100 employees in the U.S. and the new facility will have a capacity of 140. The global headquarters, which will be around 75,000 square feet in total, will be comprised of three buildings. The main building, 67,000 square feet, will be home to the main office and part of the warehouse and innovation center. A unique feature of the project will be a 100foot tower. “We sell into the vegetable oil refi ning business. The equipment that goes in this tower

Crown Iron Works $14 million global headquarters will be made up of three buildings totaling around 75,000 square feet and feature a 100-foot tower.

are smaller versions of the equipment we sell into the industry,” Hoerle explained. “Many times those pieces of equipment are 60 to 70 feet tall, so that gives us some room above it and below it for working on the different columns.” The smallest building on site will be used for the extraction of vegetable oils from things such as soybeans. Crown, a division of CPM Holdings Inc., is a 140-year-old Minnesota-based global company with additional offices in the United Kingdom, Argentina, Brazil, China, Germany, Honduras, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine, and currently employs 250 people worldwide. Crown offers oilseed preparation, extraction and refining equipment and technology. Crown also serves the nutraceutical, specialty chemical, food and waste industries in the areas of specialty extraction (process recovery of essential oils and extracts), CO2 extraction and drying—with a variety of dryers, desolventizers and coolers for solvent and water wet products. The developer of the project is Mortenson Development, which has owned the site for many years. “Mortenson is a 64-year-old real estate and facilities company. We started as construction company and have evolved into a full range of real estate services,” Jeremy Jacobs, director of real estate development, said. “For the vast majority of the company’s history, our facility’s yard was on this site.”

Around 10 years ago, the company was in need of more space and relocated to Centerville. Mortenson actively began pursuing opportunities for developing the site three years ago and in 2016 the site was listed for sale. Jacobs said Mortenson has been working with Crown since April 2016. The primary building will be up and fully enclosed by the end of this year. The global headquarters is slated to be up and running by July 1, 2019. “Anytime you bring a large employer with well-paying jobs, we hope that those people will potentially buy homes in Blaine, shop in Blaine ...The fact that (as a) global headquarters, they will be bringing a lot of customers to this location, it helps arguments if we start to look at new hotel options,” Thorvig said. “It is always good to have that value of a building increase our industrial tax base. There are a lot of positive things that come about from a project like this.” Quad Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.
