CIRCLE PINES — Visiting Prior Lake spotted Centennial a 13-6 lead at the intermission, only to storm back with 28 unanswered points in a convincing 34-13 victory in the prep football opener for both clubs Saturday afternoon.

The threat of severe weather forced the game to be moved from the evening to the afternoon, and blustery conditions made passing an iffy proposition.

Cougar quarterback Kyle Nordby was 8-for17 passing for 80 yards and had a pair of passes intercepted by the Prior Lake defense.

Centennial picked up 153 yards on the ground on 37 attempts, led by Riley Trettel with 90 yards on 17 carries, including a touchdown. Deante Book had 37 yards on nine tries, and wide receiver Levi Falck snared four passes for 55 yards.

Centennial entertains Champlin Park Friday night at 7 p.m.

WYOMING — A scaledback Wyoming Stagecoach Days is rolling your way, with fun activities for all ages kicking up some dust.

The name of the longtime annual festival is a reference to Wyoming’s reputation in the 1860s as the first stop on the stagecoach route from Rice Street in St. Paul to Duluth.

According to the city website, travelers north often stopped for the night, staying at a now-defunct inn on Viking Boulevard and Highway 61, and changed horses at a livery at what is now the south end of the industrial park. Later in the decade, stagecoach traffic was replaced by steam locomotive traffic.

Organizer of Stagecoach Days is the Wyoming Fire Relief Association, and a full schedule is available on www.wyomingstagecoachdays.com. Highlights are as follows: •A Treasure Hunt commences with clues Monday, Sept. 7 posted on wyomingstagecoachdays.com or wyomingmn.org. Those buying the annual festival button will collect more money if they win (buy

them at Village Inn, First State Bank or City Hall).

•The Cornerstone Pub & Prime, 26753 Forest Blvd., offers a beer garden from noon to midnight all three days, with proceeds benefiting the Wyoming Fire Department’s Fire Relief Association.

•Minneapolis-based country band Blue Collar Cocktail entertains at 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11. Its website www.bluecollarcocktail.com claims it “generates the best party atmosphere around.”

•The Wyoming Lions hold a pancake breakfast at City Hall from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday , with supplies provided by The Village Inn and Bruce Foods.

In the afternoon, bingo commences from noon to 4 p.m., with donations going back to community projects such as scholarships.

Collected for donation will be unwanted eyeglasses, hearing aids and printer cartridges.

•Local favorite Marty Sonnek plays at noon Saturday, Sept. 12. The longtime Wyoming resident, who specializes in classic rock, has entertained at the festival for at least 21 years.

•Wyoming United

Early Forest Simon, meet pie woman: Lake attracted Marine baker at State Fair vacationers

by Michelle Miron

Forest Lake was a popular resort town in the late 1800s.

Just a short train trip north to Forest Lake, then a dusty, bumpy ride in a horse-drawn carriage, brought visitors to the beautiful 75-room Marsh Hotel. The train stopped at the corner that now houses Rueb’s Tire Shop. Imagine a family traveling up north “to the lake” dressed in their heavy, scratchy garments, ladies with long skirts and gents with their tight collars — no shorts or T-shirts or flip- flop shoes.

This hotel was elegant ,with picnic grounds and croquet courts on lush green lawns all overlooking sparkling blue Forest Lake.

For $1.50 a family could rent a rowboat for the day, or pay extra for a man to row them. Adding to all the hotel’s excitement was the Germania, a large steamboat tied up at the stone jetty on the shore right in front of the hotel.

The Marsh was so popular that many famous people were guests. Among distinguished visitors were President Grover Cleveland and President William McKinley. The first entry in the register in June of 1888 showed visitors from as far away as France, India and China. I am trying to guess how long their steamship rides to the U.S. were and how costly they might have been. The trip would have been for those my grandma called “well heeled” or wealthy. The owner of the hotel was Captain Michael Marsh. When the railroad came in 1868, Forest Lake established a U.S. Post Office and he was the first postmaster (the post office was, of course, located in the hotel). His progressive ideas are credited with making Forest Lake a favorite resort town.

The hotel is now a lovely two-story home on North Shore Drive owned by my friends Jack and Pat Henderson. Jack tells me when he went to remodel the large wooden bookcases, he uncovered numerous bullet holes. Rumor says the infamous Ma Barker and her gangster

FOREST LAKE HISTORICAL SOCIETEY

JEANNE CAINE bunch were frequent inhiding guests. Thank you ,Jack , for sharing some history and secrets of the old hotel.

Around the same year H.D. Gurney built a summer hotel just down the way and added something new to resort living — rental cottages. His hotel boasted sailboats and rowboats and beautiful grassy picnic grounds by the lake.

The Euclid Hotel was built across from Mattson’s Funeral Home and beautiful Forest Lake. The Euclid was large enough to offer the employment so dearly needed in the area by hiring locals as kitchen helpers, chamber maids and groundskeepers. Later came the fashionable Forest Home Hotel, the Forest View and the Hotel Vaxjo.

Sometimes I think I was born in wrong era. I would not mind a long dress with a big floppy sun hat, riding in a train and having someone cook for me. Forest Lake has such a rich ,family -orientated history I can’t wait to learn more. As a Forest Lake resident and the proud vice-president of the Forest Lake Area Historical Society, I am on a mission to learn more about this wonderful city my grandchildren are thriving in. If you would like to learn with me or have your own stories to share, please contact resident Glen Berg at thebestglen@ aol.com or 612-963-1975. or visit our website www. forestlakeareahistory.org.

MARINE ON ST. CROIX — After applying for the first time this spring, Oak Park Heights resident Sara Hayden snagged the OK to bring her local pie-baking operation Sara’s Tipsy Pies to the Minnesota State Fair Aug. 27 to Sept.

7. Since early July she and her staff have weekly been preparing and freezing some 2,500 singleportion pies in preparation. The pies made from Hayden’s mother’s crust recipe are unique in that they include locally produced alcohol.

Opinion Building entrepreneurs It has been said Warren PUBLISHER’S Buffett’s first job was VIEW delivering newspapers.

Today Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway stock has ownership in more than 25 newspapers. Here at Press Pubs we love the idea of local youth having the opportunity to become CARTER JOHNSON the next entrepreneur with a paper route. As a paper carrier, you’re an independent contractor, so you’re owning your own business. Throughout the year we try to say ‘thank you’ to our carriers for their hard work and efforts in getting the “best source of news and information” into the hands of our residents. Periodically we invite our carriers and their supportive families to the Muller Family Theater for a private showing of a new-release movie. What makes the movie day stand out is all the prizes we hand out to carriers for improved service. As we move into the fall season of our subscription collection drive, please consider supporting your carrier with a six-month or year subscription. With your subscription you will receive unlimited access to our website and our total digital newspaper, as well as coupons to local businesses. Carriers work hard, and if they’re doing a good job please support them with a tip and a friendly wave.

Back to school Many teachers and staff have been back to the classrooms to prepare for the first day of school.

From scrubbing down desks, replacing lights, fixing items, decorating classrooms and hallways, and washing and waxing the floors to a ultimate shine, they are working hard to make sure the transition back to school is smooth. Families are finishing up school shopping that includes new shoes, clothing, notebooks, composition notebooks, single-subject notebooks, glue sticks, liquid glue, pencil pouches, sharpeners, mechanical pencils, erasers and the details on optional computer requirements. As parents, we need to be prepared for the first month of runny noses that come with being back in the classroom and the stress that comes with balancing work, family, homework and after-school activities.

As a community, we need to keep an eye out for school buses and follow the traffic laws, watching for kids traveling to and from school. Be mindful that kids could be plugged into head phones, walking, or texting and not aware of their surroundings.

Interns Here at Press Publications we have had a few interns on duty, from semester-long assignments to just a few weeks in the summer. One of our favorite assignments is the ‘Word on the Street’ interviews.

This summer, our intern, Anders Hagstrom, went out into communities near Shoreview, Circle Pines, Lexington and Lino Lakes with a series of questions.

We published the broad variety of responses. It was another way to give you an idea of what your neighbors think about hot topics and current events.

The Vadnais Heights Economic Development Corporation is also working to bring interns into the business community. If you’re thinking about ways to connect with the next workforce, check out the Manufacturing Pathway Kickoff event from 9 to 11 a.m. Sept. 25 at White Bear Lake Area High School’s South Campus. The school district along with VHEDC, Century College and HIRED sponsor a panel discussion about engaging students in manufacturing, featuring speaker Bob Kill of Enterprise Minnesota.

Youth under the influence With the start of school just around the corner, I am reminded of the mixed feelings I had as we watched our oldest child climb on the school bus for her fi rst day of school and drive away. While I was happy about her excitement for the adventure ahead, I was sad realizing that our daughter was taking a major step in her unfolding independence from our family.

From now on, other forces would have a growing influence in her life.

As children grow up, it is natural and necessary, especially for teens and tweens, to place a high value on spending time away from their family with peers says Tim Turner, Diversion Coordinator at Northeast Youth & Family Services. It’s part of their development necessary to becoming healthy, successful adults.

While there’s nothing wrong with their desire, it is important to be aware of what kinds of influences their peers might have.

At NYFS, Turner

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

JERRY HROMATKA works with youth who have had negative encounters with law enforcement due to acts of vandalism, shoplifting and drug or alcohol use. Many of the youth, and their parents, point to negative pressure from peers as a contributing factor in making those poor decisions.

Because youth are influenced by their peers, Turner encourages parents to help their children think through and practice how they will respond to pressure. It is important to be clear about what traits they value as a family such as honesty, integrity, openness or helpfulness. This gives kids a solid foundation to stand on as they make

their own decisions when parents aren’t around.

He adds that the older the child gets, the more they will want to come to their own conclusions about what is good or bad. Be clear about expectations, but let them work out their own choices whenever possible. Otherwise, youth are at greater risk of following their peers wherever they lead.

Turner adds that parents should remember that friends can also exert positive peer pressure.

Friends can be a valuable source of encouragement, emotional support and even healthy competition in sports and academics.

We can’t pick our children’s friends but we can help them understand whether a friend is having a positive or negative effect on their life.

A number of traits parents can talk to their child about when choosing friends include: do they have a good relationship with their own parents; are they supportive to other kids in a helpful, realistic way; are

they open to parents and others knowing where they’re going or what they’re doing.

Turner also reminds parents to remember to pick their battles. Some friends aren’t a bad influence, they may just be irritating. The goal isn’t to micromanage a child’s choice in friendships, but to help teach them how to make positive choices.

And remember that while good friends are critical to healthy development, children and parents still need time together too. When children are younger, set regular times during the week just for the family.

As they get older, talk with your child about a good time to get together, just as you might with a friend. While teens and tweens may not always appreciate it at the time, no friend can totally replace the loving support and influence of a parent.

Tips for choosing a roofer When you’re in the market for a new home, it’s always a good idea to ask the age of the roof of any house that you’re considering purchasing. This will tell you if you can reasonably expect to go a number of years without having to replace the roof or if you need to start to budget for a re-roofi ng job.

The average lifespan of a roof is 20-25 years. Whether a roof is new or old, it’s important for homeowners to perform regular maintenance. The Better Business Bureau offers some tips which could help extend the life of your roof: • Clear dead or overhanging branches. Have a professional tree service evaluate the branches hanging over your roof and decide whether or not they are a risk. If the branches are dead, that increases the chance of them falling onto your roof. In addition, heavily shaded areas of your roof can retain moisture, which sometimes leads to mold. Regular trimmings of overhanging branches will help your roof dry in a uniform manner.

• Inspect for hail damage. After strong storms, especially hailstorms, have a licensed insurance adjuster or contractor inspect your roof. Dimples and cracks on the shingles

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU are key indicators that hail damage has occurred.

• Keep your eyes and ears open and remove debris. Ground-level inspections can be done by the homeowner. You should also keep your gutters clear. If there’s debris that needs to be removed, either call a professional or be very cautious when getting up on your roof.

If the roof on your home is over twenty years old, it may be a good idea to solicit expert opinions – from licensed contractors – before making the decision to sign off on a re-roofi ng project.

To help homeowners find reliable and trustworthy roofing companies, BBB offers the following tips: • Start with trust.

Research and fi nd dependable contractors for free at bbb.org.

• Deal with licensed and insured contractors.

In Minnesota, roofers must be licensed by the Minne-

sota Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) (doli. state.mn.us). A contractor should be responsible for obtaining all necessary permits, not you.

• Get everything in writing. It’s important to review the contract carefully before signing it.

Contracts should include: the description of services provided, payment schedule, an estimate on when the work will commence and fi nish, and warranty information.

• Ask for references.

Asking friends and family for references is always a good idea. You should also ask contractors for references from past customers, and follow up with them directly to learn more about recent projects the company completed.

• Request estimates.

Ask for estimates from at least three different contractors. Everyone has a different budget, but don’t automatically choose the company with the lowest bid. Your roof is an integral part of your home and not a place where you want to cut corners.

Sports In a perfect world ... Centennial girls win state crown

By Mark Aguirre Contributing Writer CIRCLE PINES — If you ask the girls or coaches on the Centennial White fifthand sixth-grade girls lacrosse team, it was an absolutely perfect summer.

After coming oh-soclose to a state crown last summer, coaches Kurt Brouillet and Josh Francis’ crew wheeled through the regular season with an 8-0 mark on the path to winning its league.

It did the same thing last season before losing in the state championship matchup. “’Last season was all upbeat until the state tournament,” offered Brouillet. “We just weren’t prepared (for state) last year, so we took it as a learning lesson. It set up our success this season.”

The team finished with a 3-0 mark in Gold Division state tourney play at Lakeville North to set up a state title match against Prior Lake in a battle of unbeatens.

In what Brouillet said was a very competitive contest Centennial, with Alyssa Levine in the nets, prevailed 6-2 Aug. 2 to don the state

“We really didn’t dominate,” Brouillet said. “The game went back-and-forth. We played very good defense, and pressed

their ball carriers.

We worked hard and played smart.

“The kids were great all season, and so were the parents,” he added.

“Growing up I coached

a half-dozen boys youth hockey teams, and the last few years I’ve worked with the girls’lacrosse team. It’s been fun, and hopefully these girls will stay

together and make up the core of the high school team some day.”

Lakers blow past Cougars 34-13 CIRCLE PINES — Visiting Prior Lake spotted Centennial a 13-6 lead at the intermission, only to storm back with 28 unanswered points in a convincing 34-13 victory in the prep football opener for both clubs Saturday afternoon.

The threat of severe weather forced the game to be moved from the evening to

the afternoon, and blustery conditions made passing an iffy proposition.

Cougar quarterback Kyle Nordby was 8-for-17 passing for 80 yards and had a pair of passes intercepted by the Prior Lake defense.

Centennial picked up 153 yards on the ground on 37 attempts, led by Riley

Trettel with 90 yards on 17 carries, including a touchdown. Deante Book had 37 yards on nine tries, and wide receiver Levi Falck snared four passes for 55 yards.

Centennial entertains Champlin Park Friday night at 7 p.m.

Weather Discussion For August, we had quite un-Augustlike weather last week. Tuesday and Wednesday, Aug. 18-19, were downright cold and wet, more like what we should expect in October, with highs only in the mid to low 60’s. It did dry up a bit for Thursday and Friday, but Saturday turned out to be a “hang onto your hat” day with strong steady winds all day, with an evening round of thunderstorms. I’ve totaled just over 2 inches of rain from the period of August 16 to 22, bringing my monthly rain total to 2.89 inches. We’ll need a few more rainfalls to make it to normal. Temperatures are expected to rebound to close to normal, with skies drying out as we head into the Fair.

Word

on the Street

We hit the streets in Circle Pines to ask locals what they think about college affordability, minimum wage, and mandated education.

Here’s what they had to say:

By Anders Hagstrom Press Intern

Do you think every American should be afforded the ability to go to college?

No, doing jobs like fast food and the like shouldn’t support an entire family. Those jobs are entry-level jobs, they’re a place to start from, not a long-term solution.

Brant H.

No, because not everyone needs to go to college. As soon as everyone is going to college, then a third tier of education will arise, and so on.

Brant H.

Absolutely. People working those jobs need to be able to survive.

Connor R.

I think everyone who wants to go should be given that ability in an ideal world but, in reality, that money has to come from somewhere.

Nathan P.

What, in your opinion, is the biggest thing missing from the education system in the U.S.?

Maybe a hands-on construction or agriculture class, something that would force everyone to get their hands dirty.

Manual labor is an underrated educator.

That’s funny; I’d probably just have everyone take Driver’s Ed again.

Connor R.

Again, I think it’s the manual labor. In our society, it’s so easy it avoid working with your hands, but I think that if people are never forced to do it, they don’t receive the character that it helps build.

Brant H.

I’d say the biggest problem is just the general quality of education. You see it year after year that the U.S. ranks low in student testing for first-world countries. We need a better curriculum and a way to make students care.

Nathan P.

Immediate

If you could mandate one class that all Americans had to take, what would that class be about?

I don’t think I could pick one.

Nathan P.

I think that you should be able to support yourself off of minimum wage, but not an entire family.

Nathan P.

I think our schools need to do a better job of teaching to each individual student. Every kid learns in a different way and I think we need to accommodate that.
