Last week a story about the March 1 caucuses was accompanied by a box titled "If you go ..." that incorrectly listed the cities in the Bulletin coverage area for state House Districts 42A and 42B. The Bulletin regrets the errors.

Police ask for help identifying woman 

A woman who was found dead in New Brighton 15 years ago has never been identified, but now the image of her face has reemerged through facial reconstruction technologies, and though it’s only a likeness, police are hoping it will lead to new information in the cold case. 

The investigation of the woman’s death began in the fall of 2000, when her body was found by two hikers just off a little-used path in Long Lake Regional Park. Police believe the corpse had been lying there for at least two months by the time it was found Sept. 15.

The New Brighton Department of Public Safety requested assistance from the FBI last year, specifically to have them reassemble characteristics of the woman’s face using facial reconstruction. The image was released to the public last week.

New Brighton public works responded to a water main break on Silver Lake Road over last week’s holiday weekend. 

Parties prepare for Super Tuesday

Precinct party caucuses are a week away on March 1 — Super Tuesday — when voters in Minnesota and 12 other states will caucus for presidential candidates, among other party business.

The events, which begin at 7 p.m., are run completely by state political parties and deal with internal party business so caucus rules and happenings will vary, district by district.

Roseville Review area Republicans and DFLers who plan to caucus likely live in either House District 42B or 66A; officials in both parties are expecting lots of caucus participation during this presidential election year.  

Nazi Germany cited to underscore opposition to organized garbage collection
The trash talks are over, according to the Mounds View City Council, which said the contentious discussions concerning the city switching to an organized system of collecting garbage will be “discontinued.” 

Two Bulletin area teachers were announced as candidates for Education Minnesota’s 2016 Teacher of the Year award Feb. 3. 

2015 was filled with memorable stories and headlines in the Bulletin area.

In 2007 the City of Mounds View paid only $3,500 for the creation of its city website — the one it still uses today. After the Nov. 9 City Council meeting, however, city staff were left with direction to research options for a new site.

The body of a 32-year-old Mounds View man who had been missing since Labor Day was found in Rush Lake in New Brighton Nov. 2.

Five candidates were on the ballot Nov. 3 for four-at-large seats on the Mounds View Public Schools ISD 621 Board and all four incumbents were reelected.
