Passed by Congress in 2005, the REAL ID Act establishes minimum security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards. The Act refers to federal anti-terrorism laws and regulations that control access to the following: • Federally regulated commercial aircraft. • Federal facilities requiring identification to enter, such as military bases or nuclear power facilities. The Act prohibits federal agencies like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) from accepting cards for official purposes from states that do not meet minimum security standards. Current situation for Minnesotans While REAL ID requirements for states without federal extensions began Jan. 22, Minnesotans do not need to take any action at this time. DPS-DVS will provide updates as the availability of REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards approaches. From press release

What’s in a name?
E
mma, Olivia, Ava, Sophia, Isabella. Since 2009, these girls names have been in the top five of all recorded U.S. baby names, according to the Social Security Administration. For a couple years, Isabella reigned. Next, Sophia topped the chart, then Emma. At the turn of the century, Emily led the pack from 1996 to 2007, joined by Gen Z familiars such as Madison, Abigail, Hannah and Alexis in the early 2000s. Jessica, Ashley, Sarah and Samantha dominated along with Emily through the ’90s. Jennifer, Brittany, Amanda and an occasional Melissa stood strong beside Jessica, Ashley and Sarah in the ’80s. These are today’s millennials. Story From 1970 to 1979, Jennifer took fi rst place. Melissa, Heather, Angela, Chaser Amy, Jessica, Kimberly, Michelle Sara Marie Moore and Lisa were destined to be her friends and join Gen X. In the ’60s, Lisa played with Mary, Susan, Karen, Linda, Donna and Patricia. Mary, Susan and Linda also became fast friends with Baby Boomers Deborah and Barbara in the ’50s. In the ’40s, Linda and Mary also were sure to have a classmate named Carol or Betty along with Patricia and Barbara. Mary was the top girls’ baby name from 1917 to 1945. In the ’30s she was joined by Barbara, Patricia, Betty, Shirley, Dorothy, Joan, Margaret and Helen. In the ’20s, Betty, Dorothy, Helen, Margaret and Ruth were sure to be pals. From 1917 to 1919, Helen was the second most popular baby girl’s name. The Greatest Generation names ring with a dignified tone. John, William, James, Robert and Charles reigned from 1918 to 1929, when Richard supplanted Charles until 1947, at which time Richard was unseated by David and Michael. David and Michael soared to the top of the charts in the mid-50s. Michael was the top name from 1954 to 1998, except once when he was ousted by David. Top boys’ names tended to change less than girls’ names. John and Robert continued to be a mainstay until the early ’70s. James continued to be a mainstay until the early ’80s. In the ’70s, Christopher and Jason joined the classrooms with Michael, David and James. In the ‘80s, Matthew and Joshua joined Michael, David and Christopher, with an occasional Daniel or Andrew. Michael, Christopher, Matthew, Joshua, Andrew, Tyler and Jacob were children of the ’90s. Jacob reigned from 1999 to 2012. His turn-of-the-century friends were Michael, Matthew, Joshua, Christopher, Andrew, Ethan, Alexander and Daniel. In 2009, William made a comeback and has been in the top five since. Jayden, Mason and Noah joined Jacob and William at the beginning of the decade. Noah usurped Jacob’s reign in 2013. Liam came in third in 2013 and has held the second spot for three years. James joined William’s throwback status in 2016, resurfacing from 1980. As I perused the top names over the last 100 years, familiar faces came to mind. My friends from school days: Ashley, Jennifer, Amanda and Sarah. My well-seasoned supervisors as I entered the workforce as a millennial: David, Linda and Deborah. Many of my millennial friends married an Andrew or Joshua. The precious little old ladies at church: Betty and Patricia. My niece, Emma. If I summarized the top 10 or 20 names each year, even more familiar faces would come to mind. What causes people to create varying yet consistent trends of names over 100 years? Maybe Mary and John know. For more information, visit the Social Security Administration website, ssa.gov. Sara Marie Moore is editor of the Shoreview Press.

Infrastructure: the job creator rural America needs
I
nfrastructure is one of the smartest investments we can make in our country. It allows businesses to grow and compete. It keep us safe. It creates millions of jobs—good paying jobs that cannot be outsourced overseas. And, it’s bipartisan. It’s one of the first things President Trump said he wanted to get done after he was elected. The time has come to work together to get Legislator this done, and get it done right. We Lingo cannot let another Amy Klobuchar year go by without action. The good news is, there are bipartisan solutions already on the table. As a member of the Commerce and Agriculture committees, I have long supported leveraging direct funding and public-private partnerships to rebuild and reinvest in our infrastructure. One bipartisan idea I’ve been working on is to create an infrastructure bank that would help increase private sector infrastructure spending. It would also direct funding to projects in rural areas so that smaller communities can make much-needed infrastructure improvements. This type of innovative financing tool could jumpstart critical projects in Minnesota and across the country.
But we can’t rely on public-private partnerships alone to fund projects. Direct federal funding is essential, especially in rural America. In many parts of our country where communities are spread out and not as densely populated, it can be difficult to attract private investment. These communities depend on federal dollars to maintain and upgrade their infrastructure and stay competitive. That is why I will not support proposals that are unfair to rural communities. One area that relies on direct federal investment is rural broadband. Broadband is the perfect infrastructure investment. It creates jobs, opens new economic opportunities for the communities we connect and keeps America competitive in an increasingly digital world. Just this week, as co-chair of the Senate Broadband Caucus, I led a bipartisan effort to get dedicated, stand-alone funding for broadband deployment in an infrastructure proposal to ensure telecommunications infrastructure is prioritized alongside needed upgrades to our roads, rail, waterways and bridges. A serious plan for the 21st century is not a complete without addressing the broadband connectivity issues facing rural America. I know we can work across the aisle to invest in America’s infrastructure because we’ve done it before. In 2012, Congress passed bipartisan legislation I worked

on to allow the St. Croix River bridge project to move forward after 30 years of delay, and this past August the new bridge was completed. After more than 50 years, Windom and other communities along Highway 60 will soon be able to travel on a four-lane highway to get to the Twin Cities. And Highway 53 on the Iron Range now features a new fourlane bridge—the tallest in the entire state--that connects Eveleth and Virginia. We also recently passed the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, a bipartisan bill that increased transportation funding—including giving Minnesota more than $4 billion in funding over five years—and helped provide certainty to local governments planning critical projects across the country. This is a good start, but we can’t stop now. In an increasingly competitive global economy, standing still is falling behind. We can’t leave infrastructure—something that has always been an area for bipartisan agreement — on the side of the road for another year. When it comes to roads and bridges and rail, you either build them or you don’t. Talk isn’t enough. There are good bipartisan ideas out there that we can take action on right now. Let’s get to work.

CFD ISO RATING: Fire district's new classification may impact businesses and residents FROM PAGE 1
a class 5 (9,490) or 9 (8,782); a class 3 rating was held by 3,409 communities; class 2, by 1,324; and class 1, by 241. Circle Pines City Administrator Patrick Antonen spoke with the cities agent from the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance, who said residents could see a 8-10 percent decrease in costs for homeowner’s insurance. Commercial properties could realize an even bigger savings.
Centerville Mayor Jeff Paar, who is an independent agent with Farmers Insurance, explained, “Insurance is about risk and the lower the risk the lower the rate. So if we can get that rating down, that tells the insurance companies that are insuring businesses and or homes in Circle Pines and Centerville that the chances of the fire being put out are going to be very good.” Paar added homeowners and business owners would likely see some savings on their
home insurance premiums, but premiums are also based on other factors such as the value. “A $500,000 home and a $100,000 home may still see an 8 percent savings, but it may not be a flat rate all the way around.” Lundstrom said the likely reason for drop in classes is due to a variety of factors. “Before the split (from Lino Lakes), we had a rating of 5/9. Lino Lakes has more areas that don’t have an adequate water supply; Circle Pines is fully
hydranted. We also lost our ladder truck,” he explained. ISO requires that communities with more than five buildings over three stories in height have a ladder truck. Lundstrom said Circle Pines has about 13 structures that fall into that category, whereas Centerville does not. The addition of a ladder truck to the fleet was critical, he noted. Another likely reason for the change in classification is the addition of a scoring category — fire prevention — which takes into account investigat tions, inspections and public t education. e Lundstrom said there are two areas CFD could improve t on o if it wants to to move up the t seven scoring points it needs to be rated class 2. One n would be to develop a hydrant w maintenance program to test a m prescribed number of hydrants p
per year; another would be to look at how it can offer more training. Lundstrom explained the expanded training component would be very difficult, as ISO requires a new firefighter to complete 60 hours of training on driving apparatus per year. “Sixty hours for a paid on-call (POC) volunteer is going to be impossible,” he said. “They want 16 hours per month of structural firefighting training, and we train once a week for about two hours. We are doing about eight hours of training a month, so we would have to double that amount.” Despite the challenge, Lundstrom says CFD will continue to look for ways to increase its training.

One common problem with paid on-call (POC) fire departments is the challenge of responding to calls during the work day. Centennial Fire District (CFD) hopes to combat the problem with the implementation of a duty crew program. A duty crew is where volunteer firefighters work assigned shifts rather than being on call all the time. Typically, firefighters will sign up for a specific shift and work on a “crew” of two to three firefighters. “We want to add one person to serve with me in the Circle Pines station during the work week to respond to calls. Most our our calls from last year were from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.” CFD Chief Harlan Lundstrom explained. “Having someone here with me guarantees that we are going to get out the door and respond on medicals. It makes it really tough if I need to go to a meeting and then nobody is around here in the city. Dave (Bruder) and Kathy (Peil) are coming from Centerville, and when we page out the station, I don't know if anyone will show up.” Lundstrom noted the department has seen a number of people retire who were available during the day. Currently, there is only one firefighter who is sometimes available during the day. The implementation of a duty crew wouldn't necessarily improve the community's Public Protection Classification (PPC) from the Insurance Service Office (ISO), as the department still wouldn't be capable of responding to structure fires without mutual aid due to inadequate crew size. “Having a duty crew really won't do anything in terms of structure fires because you typically have to have 15-20 firefighters to deal with a structure fire,” Lundstrom said. “You can't make an interior attack without at least four people, that's an OSHA law. You have to have two in, two out.” The hope with duty crew was for CFD to fill the need internally. However, so far, no one has signed up. Lundstrom said eventually the hope would be to go to a duty crew of two people, but seeing as one shift isn't being filled, that will likely not be the case. If the district isn't able to fill the need internally, it would have to open the position up to firefighters from other jurisdictions or consider going to a full-time department, both of which would be expensive. Another challenge is the amount of training required, is a big time commitment for POC firefighters. “A lot of POC departments are going to duty crews. They are all having the same issue of firefighters being available during the daytime,” Lundstrom said. “A lot of other departments are having to go full time, like Roseville and Maplewood.” For now, the plan is to continue the duty crew program on a trial basis until the district can discuss it further at the next Fire Steering Committee April 5.

Cougar girls cap unbeaten conference season with last-second drama SUBMITTED
The Centennial girls were all smiles after a dramatic overtime win over Andover that capped an unbeaten conference season. BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Literally down to their last second, the Centennial girls hockey team still protected their unbeaten Northwest Suburban slate beating Andover 4-3 in the league finale Jan. 30. The No. 3 ranked Cougars then lost to No. 2 Blake 3-1 in the last regular-season game on Feb. 2. They’ll take a 21-3-1 record into sectionals, two of those losses to Blake. With visiting Andover leading 3-2, it came down to a face-off with 5.7 seconds left. The puck squirted to an Andover defensemen. “The puck went to the sidewall,” said Cougar coach Kristi King, “and their defensemen threw the puck up the boards, to Backman.” Cougar defender Hannah Backman pounced on the puck and launched a desperation shot. Hailee Berg got her stick on the shot, deflecting it. The puck veered into the net “with about .01 seconds left,” King said. “It was crazy.” Goal to Berg, assist to Backman, and overtime. Backman was in the thick of it for the gamewinner, too, scoring on a rebound with nine seconds left in the extra session as the Cougars
again cut it close. In the power play, Allison Pitlick passed to Gabbie Hughes, who walked the puck to the middle and shot. The rebound came to Beckman on the left side of the net. “She put it in top corner,” King said. With those dramatics, Centennial finished 15-0-1 in the Northwest Suburban Conference. — and 12-0 in home games. Blaine and Andover with four losses each tied for second. The Cougars picked up their second conference title in three years. Backman had two goals in the game. Emily Nadeau had the other. Anneke Linser made three assists and Hughes two. Andover’s bid was powered by Claire Butoric with a hat trick. Centennial goalie Mackenna Stoterau stopped 24 shots. At Blake, the Cougars fell behind 3-0 on two goals by Sara McClanahan (one shorthanded) and one by Izzy Daniel. With just 14 seconds left in the game, Linser scored for the Cougars — their lone goal in two games against the Bears, who beat them 2-0 in a holiday tournament. Stoterau stopped 25 of 28 shots while Blake’s Anna Kruesel foiled 19 of 20. Centennial will likely be seeded first for the Section 5AA tournament, with Maple Grove (16-4-5) second. They’ll have a first-round bye into the semifinals on Feb. 13.
Cougars dynamic duo both among final 10 on Miss Hockey watch list BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Gabbie Hughes and Anneke Linser started playing hockey together at age 10, have starred five years together for Centennial with a combined 280 goals and will continue as teammates next season at Minnesota-Duluth. One more shared hockey experience for Hughes and Linser is both being named last week among the 10 semi-finalists for the Miss
Hockey award. Edina also has two semifinalists, Lolita Fidler and Emily Eden. The others are Madison Bizal of Elk River/ Zimmerman, Abigail Boreen of Hill-Murray, Claire Butorac of Andover, Taylor Heise of Red Wing, Crystalyn Hengler of Eden Prairie and Catie Skaja of New Prague. At the conclusion of the regular season, Hughes ranks third in the state with 68 points (36 goals, 32 assists) and Linser is tied for fifth with 64
points (26 goals, 38 assists). Hughes and Linser have been Centennial’s top two scorers each season since eighth grade. Hughes has 172 goals and 140 assists for 312 points, and Linser has 108 goals and 149 assists for 257 points. The dynamic duo will be trying to break through to the state tournament for the first time at sectionals starting Saturday. The Cougars (21-3-1) will be the top seed in the tournament.

Cougar icemen fall to conference champ Andover and No. 1 Edina Centennial boys hockey lost to No.1 Edina 3-2 and No. 8 Andover 2-0 last week, the latter hurting the most as it foiled their hopes for a share of the conference title. The Cougars (12-6-3) had some fun Saturday, Feb. 3 beating Anoka 9-0 with Hayden Brickner pumping in six goals. Centennial took a 2-0 lead at Edina with Carter Wagner and Jack Menne (power play) scoring in the
first period on Jan. 30. However, the Hornets (21-1) pulled it 3-2 with their special team skills as Jett Jungles scored shorthanded and Sammy Wheeler and Lewis Crosby delivered on power plays. Cougar goalie Travis Allen stopped 34 shots. Andover came to town and blanked the Cougars 2-0 on Thursday, Feb. 1, wrapping up the Northwest Suburban, North division title, with goals by sophomores Charlie
Schoen and Hunter Jones, and 15 saves by Ben Fritsinger. Allen was kept busy in the Cougar nets, making 28 saves. Centennial is 6-2-2 in conference with both losses to Andover. At Anoka, Brickner had the extremely hot hand with six goals, raising his season total to 16. Wagner, Caleb Nelson and Menne also scored, while McGregor made four assists and Bryce Crowley had 15 saves.
Elks out swim Cougars for conference title The Centennial Cougars faced the Elk River Elks in a head to head meet for the title of Conference Champs, Feb. 1.

Ending the night was the 400 Free Relay with the Cougars taking second (Tran, L.Deshitsa, Matson and Baufield), third (Gulaid, McIntire, Blilie and Bertasini) and sixth (Belting, Andersen, Schippel and Schneider). Many tears were shed on the Cougars side, as the title of Conference Champs was lost for the second year in a row. Even though the Cougars lost, they put up a fight making the Elks race for the title. Many boys beat their personal records making the night a success even if they didn't win the meet overall. The next meet for the Cougars is JV Champs on Saturday, Feb. 10 at Northdale Middle School where the JV team will end their season. On Thursday, Feb. 22 at Northdale Middle School, swimming prelims start for the varsity members as they hope to make another journey to state. Submitted by Katherine Panning

DANCE STUDIO: Keeps ‘small studio’ feel despite big family FROM PAGE 1
because I love to create things. I love that these kids come in and get confidence,” she said. “It's their happy place. They come in here and dance for an hour and forget about all the stuff that they have to deal with day in and day out.” When she was 7 years old, Sanftner began taking dance lessons through a community program with instructor Shirley Larkin, founder of Larkin Dance Studios. At the age of 12, she started helping Larkin teach youth classes. When she was16, she took over a dance studio in Forest Lake. “I was only a junior. I didn't even have my driver's license. My mom had to drive me up
there,” she recalled. After renting spaces in White Bear and Forest Lake, Sanftner made the decision to build and design her own studio. “A (dance) mom from Forest Lake told me about the strip mall being built. I could design my own studio and it would serve my dancers from North Branch, Forest Lake and White Bear,” she said. “That was a hard decision for me. My husband was already retired, so I was wondering if I should just retire or go for it. I knew I couldn't give it up yet.” At the studio, she does it all. “I do everything. I am the accountant, office manager, bookkeeper, costumer, janitor, plumber (and) snow shoveler, and still teach three classes,”
she said. Laurie's Dance Studio offers recreational classes in tap, ballet, jazz, lyrical and pointe, and has four studio competition lines that compete in three regional competitions each year and nationals every other year. Sanftner takes pride in keeping the “small studio” feel, even though there are around 175 students who currently come from as far as North Branch and Andover. “We know everyone that walks through the door, they are not just numbers.” The studio can be described as a “family,” as many of Sanftner's former students have either brought their own kids back for lessons or became instructors.

Dee Angellis, of Vadnais Heights, began dancing with Sanftner in the Griemann family basement when she was 5. She continued to dance with her until she graduated from high school, and would fi ll in as an instructor when Sanftner was unable to teach class. At the age of 18, she started teaching her own classes and never stopped. Angellis teaches the recreational classes at the studio and all of her children, including a son, danced at the studio at one point in time. She noted that Sanftner has always tried to keep the sport affordable for families. “I love the kids and the great atmosphere,” Angellis said. “The kids want to dance, they want to be here, but there is also room for something else if they have band or want to be in other sports,” she said. “It doesn't have to be 100 percent dance. We give them room for other things; (otherwise), kids get burned out then.” Sanftner said, “We don't demand a lot of hours. They can dance as much as they want, but nobody has to dance more than three to four hours a week. I don't know that we would enjoy it as much, and I don't think the kids would, if we had to be here all of the time.” The studio's fi rst competition will be in March, with others scheduled in April and May. The annual recital will be May 19. For more information, visit http://www. lauriesdance.com/.

HOCKEY DUO: Raises awareness while having fun with community FROM PAGE 1
raise funds for an important cause. After Haney's stepfather, Chad Leibel, 46, committed suicide on Dec. 15, 2017, the tournament took on a new meaning. Linser then decided the important cause should be suicide awareness. “We wanted to raise money and awareness while having a lot of fun with a tournament,” Linser explained. Leibel, formerly of Lino Lakes, was the son of Hal and Pam Leibel of Centerville. He attended Centennial High School, where he played hockey, football and baseball. Haney explained after Leibel had his thyroid removed due to cancer, he was diagnosed with depression. On Sunday, Jan. 28, about 40 community members gathered at Happy Acres Park in Blaine to duel for a cause in the “Chad's Cup” boot hockey tournament. Each player had to donate $5 to participate, but many players (and their parents) donated additional money. One parent even brought pizza for the group. Linser and Haney were surprised by the number of people who showed up to support the cause. “We really had to recruit teams because they weren't very interested at fi rst, but when they were playing they thought it was fun,” Linser said. The tournament ended up raising $331. Linser and Haney are not sure exactly where the proceeds will go just yet, but know it will be given to some type of suicide awareness organization. Haney wants to tell the community that “suicide is not a good choice because a lot of people will miss you.” The duo's hope for the future is

Longtime firefighter hangs up his bunker gear BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
CIRCLE PINES — Mike Peterson does not only consider firefighting his longtime passion, but says “it's in my blood.” Peterson hung up his bunker gear Jan. 1 upon his retirement after serving for 36 years on the Centennial Fire District (CFD) and the original Circle Pines Fire Department. “It's a real honor to recognize a member of the department that has been on for 36 years. What do you say about someone who has given 36 years of his and his family's time?” said CFD Chief Harlan Lundstrom at a recognition ceremony held at the Circle Pines City Council meeting Jan. 23. “I was speaking with some fire chiefs recently, and we are seeing that the average firefighter is lasting about seven years before they quit the department.” Peterson and firefighting go way back. His father served as a Minneapolis firefighter for 27 years, including when Peterson was young. “Firefighting is actually in my blood. I was very proud of my father being a firefighter, so it inspired me to become one. As soon as the opportunity arose, I took it.” At the age of 24, Peterson joined the Circle Pines Fire Department. At the same time, his brother was a firefighter for the Coon Rapids Fire Department (CRFD), where he served for 31 years. His cousin, a retired Minneapolis firefighter, served 27 years. Peterson's nephew has been a firefighter on the CRFD for around 13 years and his daughter recently became a wildland firefighter for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. Peterson recalled the transition from when the department became CFD in 1985. “It was a very tough time. I had only
been a firefighter for three years. The Circle Pines firefighters were a very tight-knit group. It was tough for them when the city made the decision to join forces with other cities, because they felt like they were giving up everything they had worked for ... and they felt it wasn't going to work,” he explained. “A lot of people I respected and looked up to were leaving. It was a tough time for all, but we got through it.” Over the years Peterson held various titles, the most recent being battalion chief, a position he has held for 13 years. He was a recipient of the Chiefs Award of Excellence in 2011 and Officer of the Year in 2016. Peterson said he most enjoyed the camaraderie of his fellow firefighters and is still in touch with many members who are on the department or have retired. He is a frequent attendee of the Carbs and Coffee get-together. It wasn't all fun times, however. A call Peterson will never forget was when he responded to a motorcycle crash on Lake Drive in the early 1980s. When he arrived on scene, police were extinguishing the fire, only to learn that there was still a rider on the bike. “I got to that scene and talked to the person that was badly burned. I don't want to say it has haunted me, but that's one that has touched me throughout the years, the one I always remember,” he said. Lundstrom said, “It was an honor working with (Peterson) on scenes where we dealt with some pretty tough and devastating things. Tactically, he is one of the strongest people I have ever seen on the fire department.” Many of the firefighters know Peterson as “Sparky,” a name he acquired after he was electrocuted during a house fire. “Electricity wasn't my friend,” he said laughing. After a month of retirement, Peterson

is missing his family of firefighters. He is still working full time as a shift engineer/operator at a power plant. With more free time, Peterson plans to travel a bit more and spend time with his family; he is planning a trip to Mexico. Peterson noted that when it comes to the CFD, he won't be a stranger. “I am looking forward to seeing what the
future of the fire department does. I am always curious to see where they are going. I will have to stand as an outsider looking in and be a part of it as a citizen rather than a firefighter,” he said. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@ presspubs.com.
