Theater company plants seed of responsibility in students BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

CIRCLE PINES — Each student in every classroom put themselves into a scene to learn about one very important topic last Thursday and Friday at Golden Lake Elementary. Magdalena Laws and Kaitlyn Moore, actor educators from CLIMB Theatre, used their background in theater to teach a life skill to the students: responsibility. Bringing in CLIMB Theatre is one of the many ways Golden Lake Elementary is working to fulfi ll its mission of “growing kids not only academically, but also socially and emotionally,” said Principal Christopher Gerst. CLIMB Theatre, based out of Inver Grove Heights, has been a leader for more than 40 years in innovative theater programs that propel audiences to positive action. The touring company is made up of artists who write, produce and perform plays and classes on varying topics, including bullying prevention, self-control, respect, friendship, job skills and the environment. The artists travel throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Nebraska. “CLIMB’s mission is to reach kids and to teach in a really fun and engaging way. Theater is such a great teaching tool. It’s a way to get the kids to be creative, active and involved and invested in the topics they are talking about,” Laws said. “This is a fun way to get the kids to learn about something that is really important in a way that they are going to remember and get excited about.” Each year the leadership team at Golden Lake picks out a trait on which they would like to focus. “This was an avenue for us to bring on an outside organization with a hands-on program to really partner with what we are already doing,” Gerst said.

“Responsibility is beyond any classroom, it's a lifetime skill.”

“It was one trait we wanted to really help and encourage our students with.” Christopher Gerst Golden Lake Principal

First graders in Laura Kahlstorf's class at Golden Lake Elementary pretend to be cowboys and cowgirls during a visit from CLIMB Theatre, a touring theater company based out of Inver Grove Heights, Thursday, Feb. 9.

Christopher Gerst Golden Lake Principal Laws has been with CLIMB Theatre since August. She attended Sanford University in Birmingham, Alabama, where she majored in theater and music. “I have a theater background, but I’m really interested in education as well, so it seemed like the perfect combination of the two,” she said. All day Thursday and Friday, Laws and Moore hosted 40-minute sessions, each revolving around the topic of responsibility. “We teach about that topic using theater tools. We do a lot of improv and games with the kids. It is very interactive and engaging. We put them in the scenes with us and show how they can respond to different situations differently,” Laws said. The session focused on two characters: One was struggling to be responsible and kept blaming others for her mistakes, while the other character had to help her take responsibility for her actions. The students were also put on a mission to help the struggling character. “Responsibility is a really important topic. When you are young, it is really important to learn that you have certain things that you are responsible for doing, and you can't blame anyone else when you don't do what you are supposed to do,” Laws said. “I hope they come away with being aware of the fact that they can't put their blame on someone else, they have to take responsibility for it.” Even though that the visit is over, the lessons about responsibility are far from over. “The goal is for CLIMB Theatre to plant the seed ... and then the teachers have materials and follow-up activities that they will continue to teach with on the concept for the rest of the spring,” Gerst said.

IFT CARDS ARE profitable for those who sell them because 35 percent or more are never redeemed. IF YOU ARE at the age of 40 and want a comfortable lifestyle at retirement, you are going to have to put aside a minimum of $18,000 a year from age 40 to retirement. IN THE RECENT election, surveying or polling was 90 percent misleading. A lot of people refused to be polled. Exit polling was also very misleading. The media appeared to be extremely biased. MEDICAL PROVIDERS ARE big companies here in Minnesota and elsewhere. Each one is About the like a silo in that they cooperate very little with each other. It is Town also very hard for independent Gene Johnson practices or specialists to compete with them If you are in a specific system or silo, it’s hard for you to get recommendations to another silo provider. There may be a more recognized specialist that you have heard about, but you may not be referred because they are in a different sailor or health system. I WAS SURPRISED to learn that museums are considered a more reliable source of historical information than books, teachers, and even personal accounts by relatives. I DISCOVERED THAT with an appointment to the Supreme Court by the President the judge serves for life. The average time of service is 28 years, which can affect as many as three generations in the future. TWENTY-EIGHT PERCENT of Americans are happy in their jobs. There is no other developed nation in the world that has a higher percentage. That’s why Marcus Buckingham and Donald O Clifton, PH. D. got together and came up with the Strengths Finder evaluation. This helps people find better jobs and positions that they can enjoy. It also helps people play to their own strengths and the strengths of others. IT TOOK ME a long time to understand that employees want to succeed, want to be helpful, want to be trusted and they will do everything possible to show that they care and can be responsible. Over time I have learned to trust them and appreciate them more and more. I HAVE LEARNED from the Manufacturers Handbook (Bible) the very important lessons of life and how to deal with stress, discouragement and worthless worrying. Try reading some of it every day. There are guides for looking up situations and problems. For example try Matthew 6:25-34 on worry. A RECENT DISCOVERY is that the public schools in and around our area do not celebrate Christmas anymore. Some of the principles of the founding fathers of this country are set aside for political correctness. It was, however, encouraging this past Christmas to hear and see people from receptionists in offices to people on the street greeting each other with “Merry Christmas.” I HAVE DISCOVERED that driving habits have become more careless. For example, people run stop signs, don’t use their turn signals, drive at speeds which are unsafe in snowy, icey or rainy conditions, use cell phones and iPads while driving, texting and putting on make up. YOU KNOW YOU are aging when emails try to sell you a walk-in tub at least three times a week. PEER PRESSURE CAUSES teens to buy $300 jeans with holes in them or bleach marks on them.

A strategy to empower girls in the community

irls are receiving a lot more messages these days with the variety of social media platforms, cell phone texting and FaceTime. They are constantly bombarded with messages about other girls and women and what they are doing and what they look like. They’re also hearing a lot more opinions of other women in the news lately. Movers & With so many different mesShakers sages, it can all be confusing to Cori young girls. Do Sendle they know that it is okay to be who they want to be, or if they don’t want to voice their opinion, that’s okay too? Does it feel like it is even harder these days to raise strong, independent girls who are comfortable with themselves and conﬁdent in their ideas? I’m thrilled to tell you about the plans that are underway to bring More Than Pink, a seven-week program for girls entering grades 5 and 6, to the Centennial community this summer. More Than Pink is a strategy to empower girls to be themselves, defy stereotypes and embrace

their personalities and bodies while training to run a 5K race. I am especially passionate about this program. I helped orchestrate the ﬁ rst session of More Than Pink in Waseca, Minnesota in 2013 and facilitated several more sessions thereafter. We received such a wonderful response from families in the community. The combination of telling girls that they can achieve great things while they are physically training and preparing for the rigors of a 5K run is an incredible experience for them. It is something that they will take with them throughout their lives. As a mother of a daughter myself, I believe in programs that build on the foundation of strong girls as future leaders of our community. This is such a great age to open their minds to the idea that they can be incredibly strong, both physically and emotionally. They will hear stories from other strong women who live right here in this community and then go out and learn how to train for a 5K. In addition to guest speakers, girls will also have the opportunity to train and mentor with various female student leaders from Centennial High School. All girls entering 5th and 6th grade are encouraged to register and be a part of this program, whether

Earlier this season, Centennial basketball coach Jill Becken got this message from the local paper: “News Flash. You’re playing in a tough conference,” as if she didn’t know. “I am aware,” she replied. Centennial was reminded of that again Friday as Champlin Park, whom they beat 64-37 two months ago, tripped up the Cougars 64-60, led by Allison Gerads with 23 points. “That was a rough one. They took us out of our comfort level,” Becken said. “We got in a little bit of foul trouble and didn't shoot very well. They were the better team that night.” Five Northwest Suburban Conference (NSWC) teams are ranked in the top 20, including No. 6 Centennial (18-4) and No. 13 Champlin Park (17-5). Sara Stapleton scored 18 for the Cougars. The Cougars also routed Coon Rapids 72-36 with Stapleton and Sara Grow scoring 15 each.

Learning without borders BY HANNAH TESTA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

CIRCLE PINES - Michela Barioglio, Pusa Kannikar, and Alberto Lopez Benito are in the middle of their fi rst Minnesota winter. So far they’ve been ice skating, four-wheeling and skiing, all of which they’ve enjoyed - to an extent. “We love the snow,” Barioglio said.

Benito added, “We like snow, not the cold.” And for Kannikar, winter is much colder than she expected, considering she’s used to a warmer, damp climate. All three teens are exchange students through the American Field Service (AFS) Intercultural Program: Barioglio hails from Milan, Italy; Benito from Madrid, Spain; and Kannikar from Muang, Thailand.

All three wanted to travel to the U.S. to improve their English. Kannikar has wanted to study through ASF since the seventh grade, and plans to become a diplomat when she’s older. Barioglio was intrigued by the differences between here and her home country. “Coming to the U.S. was my dream since I was a child,” Barioglio said. Benito in particular said he loved

the food here. “I like Subway…I don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.” He’s also a fan of ice cream from Dairy Queen, while Barioglio is fond of cheese curds. Both said their host mothers are excellent cooks. While they’ve all settled into life with their host families with relative ease, there are a few things - other than the weather - that came as a surprise. In Europe, most people live in apartments, while single family homes are not as common. “If you live in a house in Europe, you’re probably rich,” Benito and Barioglio agreed. European schools don’t have extra curricular activities like American schools do. Signing up for sports or any kind of activity is done outside of school, which was strange for Barioglio and Benito, but not unwelcome. Both are very involved in sports at Centennial, while Kannikar has joined choir. All three students love being in school and have made many new friends. The three will be involved in Centennial’s annual World Culture Day talent show this year. They will introduce themselves and other exchange students from ASF and speak about the outreach programs ASF raises money for. The show will feature around 20 acts, including martial arts and music performances; Kannikar plans to do a traditional Thai dance in traditional costume. Brian Bohne, Centennial’s ASF Advisor, said that World Culture Day’s theme this year is Talent Without Borders. Focusing on inclusion and coexisting is what World Culture Day is all about, after all. “We want to build bridges of understanding instead of walls of confrontation,” he said. The talent show will be at 6:45 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17 in the Centennial Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $7 and concessions will be available before the show.

times, their paths didn't cross for some time. They realized later that Dale kept going to the store when Lorraine was on her lunch break. It wasn't until Lorraine was walking back to the store after lunch with friends one afternoon when a mutual friend introduced them. “I knew right then I was going to marry her,” Dale said with a smile. Nine months later, his prediction came true. True to the times, they had a simple, no-frills proposal: “We just made a mutual decision to get married,” Lorraine recalled. In 1955, the couple moved to Minnesota, settling in the Mounds View area. Dale was a mechanic and a skilled carpenter; his beautiful wooden furniture creations adorn their current living space. Lorraine worked at J.C. Penney and enjoyed embroidery as a hobby. Their three sons attended Mounds View and Fridley schools. What's their secret to a happy, stable marriage? Dale offers this gem: “The first two words after you say ‘I do’ should be ‘Yes, dear.’” Lorraine adds, “Communication has a lot to do with it. It’s important to talk things over and to agree.” Dale also recommends that couples “never go to bed angry.” Lorraine and Dale aren’t the only lovebirds in the building. Hazel and Wally Pehrson, both 98 years young, will have been married for 71 years this April. They met at a local prom ball in Minnesota when Wally was on leave from the Navy. He was immediately taken with Hazel and asked her to save the fox trot for him. She accepted, and they have been together ever since. “1946 brings back a lot of memories,” Wally said. Not only was it the year he finished his naval duties after serving in World War II, but it's also the year the couple married. They tied the knot at Salem Lutheran Church in Minneapolis on April 5, a church their family has been devoted to ever since.

“The first two words after you say ‘I do’ should be ‘Yes, dear.’” -Dale Bentley Wally went on to become a mechanical engineer after graduating from the University of Minnesota, and Hazel was a beautician and busy mother to their four children, three girls and one boy. The couple now has nine grandchildren and 10 greatgrandchildren. Now that life has slowed down for the couple, Wally says one of his favorite activities is to share ice cream with his wife. “She loves that ice cream,” he smiled, patting her hand. That's just one way he shows his love for her. He also tells her he loves her “as often as I can.” Wally is devoted to being as close to Hazel as possible: “I love her and she loves me. She knows I’m here,” he says. Like Dale and Lorraine, they spend most of the day, every day, together. Wally’s advice for enjoying a life of such long time of love and affection is to “take it one day at a time.” A devoutly Christian couple, Wally also credits God’s guidance. “[He] led us,” he explained. Taking a page from the history of both of these devoted couples, it appears that communication and love really are the keys to a joyful, lasting marriage. And maybe a bit of ice cream, too.

CENTENNIAL FIRE DISTRICT: Surprise unveils ‘new’ aerial engine FROM PAGE 1

“We have our engine, we have our ladder truck and we will be able to get up into the air if we need to, to put out some really big fires.” The new engine has been in the works since Lundstrom started with CFD in August 2015. Purchase of the engine from Fire Safety USA in the amount of $258,987 was approved last spring by the fire steering committee. Comparable engines run anywhere from $400,000 to $600,000. “We got a really good deal. We got a lot of bang for our buck,” said CFD Assistant Chief David Bruder. CFD last purchased a new engine in 2001. The new engine was made in Hamburg, New York and then sent to Fire Safety USA's dealership in Ham Lake for a pre-delivery inspection. The engine took 260 days to make and was supposed to be delivered to CFD around Thanksgiving, but there was a delay due to the chassis. The engine is housed at the Centerville station and will be used as the first-line pumper and allow CFD's 1996 engine to be used as backup. One of the features of the engine is its top mount setup. “It allows you the ability to stand on a platform and see all around. It offers the operator a really good view of the scene when they are on fire grounds,” said Fire Safety USA sales representative Dave Trettel. The new 34-foot-long engine is equipped with LED lighting, 750-gallon water tank, energy-efficient engine and new technology and safety features. “They (fire engines) keep getting better, similarly to cars,” Lundstrom said. “We want the firefighters to know we've got their backs and we want the residents to know they've got their backs,” said Circle Pines City Councilman Matt Percy, who serves on the fire steering committee. Centerville Mayor Jeff Paar, who also serves on the committee, added, “It's been a challenging year. We’ve had a lot of changes over the district ... We’ve faced the challenges head-on and our Truck Engine (No.) 3 is here and showing that we are moving on and pressing forward.” The purchase of the used ladder engine in the amount of $150,000 was approved Jan. 31 by the fire steering committee. A brand new aerial engine can run anywhere from $800,000 to more than $1 million. The Quint engine, which will be stored at the Circle Pines station, has a 75-foot aerial ladder and a 500-gallon water tank. The engine is more than 11 feet in height and is 38 feet long. It was purchased from Minot, North Dakota after the Minot Rural Fire Department purchased a new aerial engine. Lundstrom explained the tallest ground ladder is around 28 feet in height, which is not tall enough to reach many buildings that stretch two or more stories. In Circle Pines alone, there are 17 buildings that are two stories in height or more. The aerial engine also has a water pipe with a nozzle that is capable of delivering 1,500 gallons of water each minute. “Your insurance companies base your policies partly on fire protection. By having a ladder truck, hopefully our classification will go down slightly ... homeowners would probably see a little bit of savings on their homeowner's insurance, but commercial property owners would see even bigger savings,” Lundstrom explained. Currently CFD's fire protection class is a 5 (out of 10, where 10 has no fire protection and 1 is superior fire protection, according to ISO Public Protection Classes). Lundstrom said his goal is to get that down to a 4. A fire protection class is based on a number of factors including: available equipment and staffing, including

the number of fire engines, the number and training of firefighters employed; the amount of water that can be carried to the scene, amount of water the engines can pump per minute and the condition of the water supply system and fire hydrants; and fire alarm and communications systems (irmi.com). Nearly all U.S. insurers use this classification system in calculating insurance rates for homes. Circle Pines Mayor Dave Bartholomay had a message for the firefighters. “This truck is cool, it has all kinds of really cool features, but the door doesn't open and it doesn't drive through the city and take care of a fire by itself. People drop everything in the middle of their meal, in the middle of their evening, and rush here to get into this piece of equipment to take it out to our homes to protect our families,” he said. “We really appreciate what you do. This truck is hopefully going to be a tool so that you can do your job even better and have the equipment so you are safe so you can help all of us out like you do all the time.” The average lifespan of a pumper is 15 to 30 years. Typically, aerial engines last closer to 30, since they are not used as often as other firefighting equipment units. Lundstrom said the used engine should last CFD another 15 years.

Wedding themes decide the details BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

WHITE BEAR LAKE — The fi rst step to planning a wedding is picking a theme or style. It will make decisions about all the other details easier — and there are a lot of details, even down to the type of font on the invitation. Kristina Zarembinski, a wedding invitation designer who will be a vendor at the Wedding Expo in White Bear Lake Feb. 19, said she suggests different fonts based on the type of wedding. “Font is determined more so by the theme of the wedding and the client,” she said. Zarembinski said she uses serif fonts for more rustic

weddings and often uses a combination of script and other fonts for more formal weddings. Zarembinski, who studied graphic design in college, said she decided to open a custom invitation business last spring. “I've always enjoyed typography, and invitations were a way to do that,” she said. She started by designing invitations for friends. Her business, Binski Design LLC, is also a play on words — a shortened form of her last name. Zarembinski designs wedding invitations, save-the-dates, bachelor and bachelorette party invites and baby shower invites. She works with clients on the colors and theme they are looking for and then

invites further input on the proof. She prints through Vistaprint, an online printing company. Clients pay for the cost of printing and a design fee. Zarembinski is also a graphic designer at Press Publications. Invitations aren't the only detail that is made easier with a chosen wedding theme or decorative style. More than 40 vendors will be at the Wedding Expo,

including event centers, decorators, florists, salons, photographers, DJs, formal wear shops, bakeries and dance instructors. A cake walk sponsored by Bread Art bakery will be held at 11:30 a.m., a dance presentation by Arthur Murray Dancers is set at 12:30 p.m. and a fashion and flower show will take place at 1 p.m., with presentations from Angelique's Bridal,

Schools in the Blaine School District as well as the Centennial School district were closed once again Monday, Feb. 13 due to a drop in water pressure. Around 5 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 12 Blaine received several calls from the public in addition to communications throughout social media and the Anoka County Central Communications about a drop of water pressure throughout the city. According to the city's website, public works staff were notified immediately and began working

to restore the pressure. The event activated the Blaine Emergency Operation Center (EOC) while the issue was being monitored. As of press time, it was unknown if this incident is related to last month's loss of water. During the city's investigation, it implemented a precautionary water boil advisory, asking residents to boil their water before consumption.

and Ramsey counties. Lino Lakes Police K-9 Justice and his handler, Officer Pete Noll, were deployed to track the suspects. Justice led officers to the males, who were hiding in an outcropping of land near the frozen shores of Otter Lake. Officer Noll gave multiple K-9 warnings, but the suspects refused to surrender. Justice was sent in to make contact with the suspects. Both males were quickly taken into custody. One male suffered minor injuries. Follow-up investigation showed the males had been involved in a burglary in Forest Lake and were likely preparing to burglarize a Centerville business when Officer Frederickson made contact with them. Both males are facing a variety of charges, including fleeing police and burglary. “This case shows the value of proactive police work. CLPD thanks the many agencies that assisted with this incident. Special thanks go to Officer Noll and Justice for their roles in capturing these males,” CLPD said in a statement on its Facebook page.

One year ago this past weekend I participated in a run and the temperature at the start was -6°. This weekend we woke to above freezing temperatures on Saturday, so I took advantage and did a run in Forest Lake. With the lack of winter snow, the ice on White Bear Lake is near ideal for ice boating. Thanks to Dorian Grilley for taking me out on a windy Sunday afternoon for a ride on his ice boat. It’s ok to have Spring fever but don’t get too excited, as we still have at least 6-8 more weeks of a potential snowfall or two. (See my ice boat video at WeathermanWatson.com.)

“RESIDENT EVIL: THE FINAL CHAPTER” (R) [SEQUENCES OF VIOLENCE THROUGHOUT.]

“THE SPACE BETWEEN US” (PG-13)) [BRIEF SENSUALITY AND LANGUAGE.]

— A touching, bittersweet, family-friendly, star-studded (Gary Oldman, Carla Gugino, BD Wong, Gil Birmingham and Colin Egglesfield), 2-hour film highlighted by terrific cinematography in which a smart, 16-year-old teenager (Asa Butterfield), who lost his astronaut mother (Janet Montgomery) on Mars during childbirth, takes a seven-month journey from East Texas, Mars, to Earth to search both for the orphaned student (Britt Robertson) with whom he is smitten and his father.

Fun Fact No word in the English language rhymes with month.

— Over-the-top characters dominate this deliciously wacky, funny, cameo-dotted (Bill Murray, Jude Law, Owen Wilson, Tom Wilkinson, Willem Dafoe, Jason Schwartzman, Jeff Goldblum, Bob Balaban, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham and Mathieu Amalric), 99-minute film in which a respected concierge (Ralph Fiennes) at an old-world European hotel during the 1940s is helped by a dedicated lobby boy (Tony Revolori), who is in love with a baker (Saoirse Ronan), when he is erroneously imprisoned for the murder of a wealthy dowager (Tilda Swinton) and then tries to prove his innocence after escaping prison with a tenacious policeman (Edward Norton) and a greedy son (Adrien Brody) hot on his trail.

— A gritty, violent, action-packed, fastpaced, futuristic, 3D, 106-minute sequel in which butt-kicking clone Alice (Milla Jovovich) is joined by rebel survivors (Ali Larter, Eoin Macken, Fraser James, Ruby Rose, et al.) with the help of the Red Queen (Ever Anderson) to infiltrate the Umbrella hive in Raccoon City run by an evil, power-hungry scientist (Jain Glen) and his henchman (Shawn Roberts) to obtain the antivirus for a disease that turns humans into flesh-eating zombies.

Lino Lakes Public Safety Department getting ready to ‘plunge’ The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department is once again organizing a team for the Anoka County Polar Plunge to take place Saturday, Feb. 25. The department has participated in the event since its beginnings in Anoka County five years ago. Last year, 747 individuals took the plunge and raised $187,000 in support of Special Olympics Minnesota. The department's goal is to raise $4,500; space remains for volunteers to join the team. To sign up, visit https://reg.plungemn.org/team/ linolakespublicsafetydepartment. If people want to participate, but prefer to stay dry, they can select the “too chicken to plunge” option. These volunteers are great for cheering on the team, taking pictures and contributing to fundraising goals. The “too-chicken” plungers will get a long-

sleeve T-shirt instead of the plunge shirt and — instead of plunging — will throw a rubber chicken into the water. These participants must raise at least $75 in order to participate in the event. Community members can also support the department's efforts by visiting The Applebee's in Blaine, 4345 Pheasant Ridge Drive NE on Feb. 14; bring a flyer when you visit (printed out, or on your smartphone) and 15 percent of your check will be donated to the cause. Flyers can be found on the department’s Facebook page. The goal is for more than 1,000 participants in this year's event to raise $250,000. Another option is to make a donation. The plunge will begin at 1 p.m. and take place on Crooked Lake, 13180 Crooked Lake Blvd. NW, Coon Rapids.
