New ambassadors have dreams much bigger than their crowns

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LINO LAKES — Two things are true about the three young women who were selected to represent Lino Lakes in 2019—they were shocked about being chosen, and their dreams are much, much bigger than their crowns.

Three judges — Lyz Carlson, Ray Culp and Rachel Huset — selected Molly Nhean, Emma Pierson and Alexis Lombard as the 2019 Miss Lino Lakes Ambassadors at the 15th annual coronation Aug. 19 at Centennial Middle School. There

were 11 candidates vying for three spots.

“Judging is based on overall impression, including poise, communication skills, sincerity and a warm, friendly personality,” said Ambassador Coordinator Barb Culp. “Judges then put together a team of unique individuals who will complement one another and be good role models and strong representatives for the city of Lino Lakes.”

The Miss Lino Lakes Ambassador Program was established in 2004 as part of Blue Heron Days. The program's mission is

to support the development of young women in Lino Lakes and surrounding areas (Circle Pines, Centerville, Columbus Township and Lexington) through poise, scholarship and achievement. Candidates must be a junior in high school through age 22 as of May 20 (of the current year).

The individuals act as goodwill ambassadors representing the city of Lino Lakes at various parades, coronations, volunteer events and other functions throughout the state of Minnesota.

Firearm safety course aims to demystify guns

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LINO LAKES — Since 2009, the Lino Lakes Police Department (LLPD) has partnered with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to train and certify more than 180 people in firearms safety.

The LLPD offers the firearms safety program once a year for up to 20 students. The program consists of five two hour and 45-minute sessions in addition to a written test, field exam and proficiency at the gun range. Last week, 19 more students were certified.

“Most of these kids have been exposed to guns, whether through a family hunting tradition, a dad's handgun, at a friend’s house ... One of our goals of this course is to make the kids comfortable enough to not only render them safe if they have to, but also know that they aren't as mysterious or scary as people might think they are,” said Deputy Director Kyle Leibel.

The course is designed for the beginner hunter (at least 11 years of age) but is also open to anyone who wishes to certify. The Minnesota DNR requires this

Hold a celebration of what it’s like to be a female athlete. Check.

That was the goal Wednesday, Aug. 22, at Centennial High School’s first-ever Female Athlete Symposium. The five-hour event for girls entering grades 8-12 was held in the Performing Arts Center with a keynote speaker, as well as several breakout sessions discussing the topics of growth mindset, yoga, handling defeat, nutrition/health and guided imagery.

The panel included Michelle Kline, Cheryl Wood, Sarah Austin, Darcy Rylander, Melia Cotter and Lauren Thrift.

The woman behind it all, Community Education Director Cori Sendle, wanted the more than 200 girls attending to be “proud of what they do and their accomplishments,” and for them to know that it’s “not about winning, [it’s about] becoming a better person.”

Kline, a Centennial graduate and former Olympic speed skater, started off the day as the keynote speaker. As she spoke about what it took to be a two-time Olympic athlete, she said she was thrilled to be back in her hometown. Her topics included goal setting, visualization, relaxation and being proud in doing that best that you can.

“Both life and sport is going to be filled with ups and downs, but remember your big dreams. Paint your picture and be comfortable in your own skin. Big dreams can come true for young girls in small communities,” Kline affirmed.

Centennial’s own athletic trainer, Cheryl Wood, presented on athlete self-care. Wood provides sports medicine services and has built strong bonds with her athletes.

Centennial library closes doors for new beginning

The golden book cart was used instead of the typical golden shovel.

Male chest lump nothing to be ‘nonchalant’ about

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

For two years, Hugo resident Kirk Possehl wondered about a lump in his chest.

“I found a lump in my chest and went to the doctor and the doctor left it in me for two years,” Possehl remembered.

“They didn’t think of cancer. If I was a woman, I would have been in for a mammogram the next day.”

Possehl brought up the lump topic four or five times to his doctor for two years before she finally asked if he wanted it taken out. Sure, he said. The surgery felt very “nonchalant,” as he remembers.

He was surprised when the surgeon called him with bad news — he had breast cancer. He switched doctors. Possehl went through a mastectomy and radiation therapy and was found free of cancer about two years ago.

The treatment is exactly the same as for breast cancer in women, said Dr. Puneet Cheema, an oncologist who saw Possehl at HealthEast Cancer Care at St. John’s in Maplewood. But it is much less common.

He has seen fewer than 10 male breast cancer patients over his 16-year career as an oncologist.

Only about 1 in 1,000 men get breast cancer and only 1 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses are in men, according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. A family history of male breast cancer can put someone at higher risk, specifically a BRCA2 gene mutation, Cheema said.

This March, Possehl was shocked again when he found another lump. “For a man to get a relapse on it or have it show up again is another less than 1 percent,” Possehl noted.

He had just had his two-year check-up three weeks prior and nothing had been found from a physical examination and blood tests. He credits finding the lump as a “God moment” when he put his hand on his chest and just felt something weird.

Another reason to look forward to Tuesdays!

He returned to HealthEast Cancer Care, where doctors found the cancer in scar tissue. He went through surgery and radiation again. He had his last radiation follow-up this month.

“So far, so good,” he said. He will continue to have checkups for several years.

Possehl is now on a personal campaign to raise awareness about male breast cancer by not being shy about it.

He said men should bring up anything of concern to their doctors.

“Go get things checked,” he said. “Ninety-nine percent of the time it is nothing, but just get it checked. This is how you save your life.”

Cheema concurs: “If you see something or you feel something, you should say something.”

It is easy for men to do self-examinations of their breast tissue since they are small, he added.

While fatty benign tumors can occur in men of any age and young men can experience temporary lumps due to hormonal changes, any lump should be checked out, he noted.

Possehl said he has spoken to many people who do not even realize men can get breast cancer. “I want to help other people,” he noted.

“I know that’s why I’m here.”

After going through cancer, Possehl went into the insurance business because he wants to help people prepare for the unexpected. His passion is life insurance. “You never know when that call is going to come,” he noted. “As soon as that call comes, you become uninsurable or really expensive. Do it before that happens.” He only wishes his younger self could take his older self’s advice and he could leave behind something beyond burial

PAUL DOLS | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Hugo resident Kirk Possehl has become an awareness advocate for male breast cancer after fighting the disease twice.

expenses — “I had really crappy life insurance,” he remarked.

Possehl is known in the northeast metro community for his sports announcer work at White Bear Lake Area Schools, Mounds View Schools, Hill Murray and the University of Minnesota. He has an 18-year-old son and a 16-year-old daughter. He is active at Eagle Brook Church and credits his faith in God for helping him face the difficulties of being among the 1 percent of men who are diagnosed with breast cancer.

His yellow Lab, Goldy, has been his “rock” through two rounds of breast cancer treatment. “Goldy has stuck with me through thick and thin,” he said. His new wife helped him get through the second round.

DETECTING MALE BREAST CANCER Breast cancer in men is usually detected as a hard lump underneath the nipple and areola. Men have a higher mortality rate than women do, primarily due to less awareness that the lump could be breast cancer, which can cause a delay in seeking treatment. Breast self-exams should be performed once a month. Here are three ways to self-examine for breast cancer (for men and women): • In the shower: Using the pads of your fingers, move around your entire breast in a circular pattern moving from the outside to the center, checking the entire breast and armpit area. Check both breasts each month feeling for any lump, thickening, or hardened knot. Notice any changes and get lumps evaluated by your health care provider.

• In front of a mirror: Visually inspect your breasts with your arms at your sides. Next, raise your arms high overhead. Look for any changes in the contour, any swelling, or dimpling of the skin, or changes in the nipples. Next, rest your palms on your hips and press firmly to flex your chest muscles. Look for any dimpling, puckering, or changes, particularly on one side.

• Lying down: When lying down, the breast tissue spreads out evenly along the chest wall. Place a pillow under your right shoulder and your right arm behind your head. Using your left hand, move the pads of your fingers around your right breast gently in small circular motions covering the entire breast area and armpit. Use light, medium and firm pressure. Squeeze the nipple; check for discharge and lumps. Repeat these steps for your left breast.

Back to school

S

chool classrooms have been scrubbed down, walls painted, and floors waxed. The coming of the new school year also brings big changes in traffic patterns, delays and slow moving buses. That fi rst day of school you might as well schedule a late start at work, make your special someone a nice breakfast, get an extra cup of coffee, and take your time.

Camping out Our kids have been begging to go camping for a few years. We did it a couple of times when they were little with friends who are more experienced and had the appropriate equipment, but we haven’t done any camping in recent years, and don’t Publisher’s own a tent or other camping supplies. So when we were looking (last View minute) for something to fill an extra day following our company retreat in Carter Johnson Grand Rapids, we decided to spend a night at Itasca State Park.

E t bli h d in i 1891, Itasca is Minnesota’s oldest Established park. It boasts more than 32,000 acres, more than 100 lakes, 6 miles of paved biking trails, 10 miles of paved multi-use roads, 50 miles of hiking trails, and of course, the Headwaters of the Mississippi River.

We were able to book two rooms at the Douglas Lodge four-plex. The cabin built in the early 1900s was authentic and charming; each room was equipped with a double bed, a bathroom with a tub, screen porch, fireplace and fire pit with a picnic table and chairs.

We arrived Friday evening having purchased all of our supplies at three local stores on the way in. We picked up homemade wild rice and cheddar brats, hot dogs, and other groceries at the meat market in La Porte, and some final supplies at the Lake George Store. Though there is a full service restaurant on site at the park, our son, in particular, was insistent that we cook our dinner over an open flame. Our kids had a tough time starting the campfire, but the meal was ultimately a success. The next day we explored the park, walked across the headwaters of the Mighty Mississippi, climbed the fire tower and hiked trails that explained the different types of forest. Staying in the cabin was sort of like a camping experience, but not quite. It was good for our family to get outdoors together, and we learned we didn’t need a bunch of equipment to build memories.

Passport renewal Last spring when dad sent us a memo indicating he would be taking us fishing in Canada in June, I began to write down notes in my phone of items to bring.

This included passports, clothing, LED flashlight, waterproof matches, tackle and bug spray. I immediately reviewed my son’s passport to make sure he was set to travel. A day before the trip I laid out our bags, fishing rods and tackle and pulled out the passports. I nearly fainted when I saw mine was expired. How was I going to tell my family I couldn’t go? I called the local DMV and learned that there is an emergency contact number. I dialed the number and they scheduled an appointment for me at the United States Federal Office Building in downtown Minneapolis. The representative was helpful and was specific in items to bring cash in the exact amount for the expedited fee, proper photos, my expired passport and a few other items. I rushed to White Bear Lake City Hall where they have passport services and had an updated photo taken.

When I arrived at the Minneapolis location, I was told there was no guarantee that I would get a passport that day, but that they would do their best. Luckily by 2 p.m. I had my passport.

Many thanks go out to the local passport service for providing me with quick photos and proper instructions to get a rushed passport. What an asset right here in our community. The crew in Minneapolis provided quick, friendly service. Still, it’s not fun to go through that kind of stress right before a trip.

If you are planning a trip out of the country, check your passport. Passports typically take 4-6 weeks to process. If you are in need of assistance, call 1-877-4872778 or visit travel.state.gov.

Tis the season: Back to school

T

is the season. No, I’m not wishing for a fresh snowfall and colder weather. I look around and see students begin to trickle back into schools for athletics, staff returning from a busy summer of fun and relaxation and department stores packed with school supplies and great deals to make your child’s year amazing. This time of the year, students are soaking in every last moment summer and Movers and of parents are circling dates on the calShakers endar as they see their schedules fill Brian Dietz up quickly. All in all, these moments truly make this time of year special.

As always, I want to highlight some amazing things happening in Centennial and highlight some items on the horizon. This year, we are celebrating our Homecoming festivities the week of Sept. 24 -28.

This is an incredible time of year where students get excited about being a Cougar. If you’ve not experienced Homecoming, there is no better way to see it than attending the football game Friday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. You get to hear the band, see students cheering loudly donned in red and white and a great football game. We will also acknowledge members of the Centennial community who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame earlier that day. These moments represent the best parts

of the high school experience and hopefully will evoke rich memories of your past school days.

Within our four walls, we continue to shine. Our teachers are doing amazing things to nurture and grow students academically, socially and emotionally. Their constant care and commitment allows all learners to reach their potential. Throughout the summer, a variety of our staff have attended trainings for Professional Learning Communities, AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), Daily 5, Positive Behavior Intervention Strategies and a cadre of others with a growth mindset as their motivation.

We also enter the fall with two levy questions on the ballot. We’ll be asking for approval of an operating levy and a bond for capital projects with the contingent that question 1 must pass in order for question 2 to pass. Here are the details.

Question one is an operating levy, which will allow Centennial to continue the excellence in our schools. Over the past nine years, we have reduced our budget by approximately $17.2 million, primarily through staff and program reductions. In the past three years, 60 positions, including 22 teachers and 25 paraprofessionals have been part of those reductions. The district cannot continue to keep this pace in reductions and yet deliver quality education that meets the needs of all students. The levy will allow the district to stabilize and reinvest in our classrooms (bringing teachers and paras back into the classroom

Question two is a bond for capital projects designed to provide a safe environment for learning and updating aging facilities. Again, note, question 1 must pass in order for question 2 to pass. After renovating and reimagining all of our academic buildings in 2014, we want to address the final pieces for the future: Money will fund the enclosure of the outdoor corridor where more than 2,000 students use the corridor more than six times a day.

Centennial is one of the only high schools in the state with an outdoor corridor/hallway. Funding will improve safety at the school.

The funding will also support an update of aging facilities that were built in the early 1990s, the lighting and sound systems in fine arts facilities at the high school and middle school and the refrigeration and rink at the hockey arena.

Money will also replace out-of-date technology that drives instruction and learning, replacing aging technology SMARTBoards and LCD projectors that are at end-of-life and originally purchased with grants that are no longer available.

Centennial students are doing great things. We appreciate your partnership in preparing students to be leaders in our communities and to set the course for successful futures. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our youth.

Your legal rights: Student loan assistance scams

S

tudent loan debt has reached historic levels in the United States. Over 40 million Americans owe over $1.4 trillion in student loans. Student loan assistance scams take advantage of this growing debt by promising help that is “too good to be true.�

How the scheme works Some companies have websites with promises to reduce, forgive or eliminate student loan debt. Don’t be fooled. The U.S. Department of Education offers loan forgiveness, cancellation or discharge in certain limited situations, but borrowers cannot qualify merely by making a few payments.

Some companies try to hide that they charge thousands of dollars for something borrowers can do for free: submit applications to the U.S. Department of Education for loan consolidation, forgiveness or alternative repayment plans. They often falsely claim to have “inside information� or special relationships with the U.S. Department of Education to dupe borrowers into paying them.

Programs are offered for free through the government The U.S. Department of Education allows federal student loan borrowers to consolidate (i.e., combine) multiple federal loans into one loan, resulting in a single monthly payment. Most types of federal student loans can be consolidated.

Borrowers can also apply for an income-based repayment plan, which sets monthly student payments at an Movers and loan amount based on inShakers come and family size.

Borrowers who work Lori Swanson for the government, nonproďŹ t organizations or public interest employers may be eligible for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, which forgives their remaining student loan debt after 120 monthly payments are made under an income-based repayment plan. For more information about how you can submit an application for free, visit www. studentaid.ed.gov/sa/repay-loans/.

She says nothing about the hundreds, maybe thousands of murders committed by American citizens each year. Oh, I know she reflects the thinking of many, but I choose to think America is better than that. Housley is not worthy of being a U.S. Senator.

Cougar girls edged by Bears, then blank H-M to start season

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

The Centennial soccer season got off to a humbling start as the Cougars fell behind White Bear Lake last Thursday.

However, the Cougars almost pulled that one out, losing 4-3, and followed with a 2-0 shutout of Hill-Murray on Saturday.

“We were happy as a coaching staff to see the heart and drive to not give up,” said coach Ginger Flohaug. “We had some great teachable moments and games like this will only make us better.”

Centennial rallied to tie the score 3-3 against White Bear Lake (likely to be a top-five ranked team) on two goals by Olivia Lovick and a penalty-kick goal by Khyah Harper.

The Cougars had two good opportunities to take the lead but hit the post on a header and missed another shot. The Bears got the game-winner on Kayla Anderson’s third goal of the game off a corner kick with four minutes left.

Against Hill-Murray, Khyah Harper delivered both goals, one in each half, assisted by Mallory Monson and Lexi Larson. Brianna Levine was in goal for the shutout.

My 10 best drills to help you ‘feel the swing’ 1. The body pivot. Get in your good golf posture; (bend from the hips, straight back, shoulders over toes, slight knee flex, and weight on balls of feet) cross arms over chest. Set a chair behind you and make sure you are touching it with your rear end.

Turn to the top of your backswing; the right cheek should remain on the chair. Start the downswing and at impact, the right cheek has separated from the chair and the left is still touching. At fi nish, you should feel the left hip leave the chair.

2. Hit balls cross handed to eliminate the slice. Grip the club cross handed (left hand low for right handed golfers). Make 10 swings. You should notice, in your effort to square the clubface through impact, how important it is to swing aggressively with the right hand, as well as the left. When you go back to hitting regular shots, you’ll no longer be dominated by your left side.

3. Split grip teaches correct release.

Lay a club on the ground as an extension of your stance line off your right foot. Using a short iron, take

One of the easiest ways I know to improve your golf swing is to use practice drills. A well-designed drill will help you “feel” what the body is supposed to be doing during the swing.

The golf swing is nothing more than Tee Time a series of movements that need to Betsy Larey be performed in the proper sequence to achieve the desired result. What happens to many golfers is one part of the swing breaks down, and from that point on it’s difficult to get back in sequence.

Playing any sport well requires that the student understand and execute the physical movements necessary to bring about the satisfactory results.

The best way to accomplish this is through drills and exercises that ingrain sensations that are correct and reliable when put into action. Give these 10 a try.

Mallory Monson, junior center back on the Centennial soccer team, is described by coach Ginger Flohaug as a patient, knowledgeable player who makes the right decisions under pressure and has a great first touch on the ball. While deployed on defense, Monson is also a good attacker, notching five goals last season.

your grip so that there are several inches of space between your hands.

Taking half swings, through impact try to feel the right hand crossing over the left. When you bring the club back, make sure the shaft if parallel to the shaft on the ground.

You want the clubhead slightly outside of the shaft, (never inside) with the toe turned slightly down.

4. Stay connected to improve release.

Put a headcover under your left armpit Make your normal swing.

Keeping it there forces your left arm to fold at the elbow on the follow through, avoiding the dreaded “left arm chicken wing”. Next, put a headcover under your right armpit. With a three-quarter swing, try to stay connected. This prevents the flying right elbow in your backswing.

5. No right hand slows swing, prevents hook. Take your normal stance, and place your right hand directly on top of your left. Make a series of practice swings, concentrating on swinging the club back and through on a wide arc.

6. 45 degrees back to target. Set up to hit a shot with an 8 iron, feet closer together. Turn your back 45 degrees away from the target. (If you turned your body completely away from the target, it would be 90 degrees). Grip down on the bottom of the grip. The goal is to hook the ball. You will not be able to use your body, just your arms. This is the best drill for golfers who block their shots to the right. (inability to release the club head through impact).

7. Feet together, weight transfer. This is done without a ball, and best done with a driver. Stand with your feet together. Take the club back to the top of your swing. At the same time as you start your downswing, step towards the target with your left foot. Finish your swing, standing tall and facing the target.

8. Another drill to help with weight transfer is to set up with your weight 70 percent on your left side.

Take a three-quarter backswing, keeping your weight on your left

side, then finish your swing. If you are the golfer who doesn’t get over to your left side at the finish, this is what a balanced finish feels like.

9. Grip pressure just right. Hold a club up in front of you with your wrists hinged so that the clubhead is pointing towards the sky. Start with a very light grip pressure, we’ll call it one. Now count out loud to 10, increasing the pressure just a little each time. At 10, you should have a death grip. Now count backwards to 1, releasing as you go. One more time up, and when you get to three or four that’s it! If one is light, and 10 is tight, three or four is just right!

10. Bowling down the target line.

Get into your address position, arms extended sideways (as an extension of your shoulders). Put a ball on the ground and one in your right hand.

Turn your back to the target. Your left hand should be pointing at the ball on the ground. If it’s pointing closer to your toes, or closer to the skyline you have lost your posture.

From there, take the ball in your right hand and roll it on the ground towards the target, just like you would a bowling ball, and when you finish pat yourself on your left shoulder. You should be able to pick up your right toe without losing your balance. This all- purpose drill promotes the correct pivot, weight transfer, balance and proper finish.

Drills applied to the golf swing are great because they communicate feel.

Please email me if you have any questions or concerns on how to perform any of these.

AMBASSADORS: 3 new faces join Lino Lakes ambassador family FROM PAGE 1

Molly Nhean Molly Nhean will be a senior at Centennial High School (CHS) this fall. She wanted to join the program to continue her passion, which is volunteering and helping people in the community. In addition, she felt the experience would enhance her public speaking skills, allow her to connect with the community and meet new people.

Nhean was also voted Miss Congeniality by her peers.

“I was so shocked and happy...” she said. “When I felt the crown on top of my head it was so unbelievable ... it doesn't feel real. Miss Congeniality is one of the greatest awards because you know these girls, you've spent the whole summer with them and for them to choose you is really special.”

Nhean is looking forward to getting closer to the other two ambassadors, creating friendships within and outside of the community and attending more community events. At CHS she is involved in cheerleading, band, peer leading, Project Purple and More than Pink.

She is also very involved with Alexandra House, where she openly speaks about her own experience with sexual abuse. After she graduates, Nhean plans to attend a four-year college to pursue a degree in social work and psychology. She hopes to become a youth advocate in a school, shelter or home, similar to what she does now with Alexandra House.

Emma Pierson Emma Pierson will be a senior at CHS this fall. The main reason she wanted to become an ambassador was to give back.

“I wanted to spend the summer serving others,” she said. “I also thought it was a good opportunity to grow myself, my confidence, public speaking and social skills.”

Pierson was surprised about her selection because she said any of the candidates would have been a perfect fit for the role.

“It's an honor. I feel super great that the judges saw something in me. They clearly want me to go on and help out with the program, be a good role model for the younger kids and (spread) love throughout the community,” she said.

Pierson is looking forward to growing as a person and gaining friendships this next year. She is also excited to attend the Anoka Halloween event.

This year, she will be a captain of the CHS varsity gymnastics team and is also a member of the Nation-

al Honor Society, student council, mentor program and a peer leader. She also somehow finds time to be a PSEO student at the University of Northwestern.

After graduating, Pierson plans to continue her education at the University of Northwestern doing “something medical.” Although she hasn't quite figured that part out yet, she is thinking about being a pediatrician or orthopedic surgeon.

Alexis Lombard Alexis Lombard graduated from CHS in spring of 2017. She initially wanted to participate in the ambassador program to volunteer her time to her community over the summer before enlisting in the military.

“I wanted to be an ambassador because of the opportunities it presented. When I first started the program, I didn't plan or want to be an actual ambassador in the end, I just wanted to be able to continue to give back to the community for the allotted time that I was still here for,” she explained.

“As the program persisted, I just fell in love with everything it stood for, the girls and the events we were going to.”

Lombard was not expecting to be selected, as she no longer attends CHS. “Figuring out that the judges thought we would make a great team, rather than other high school cohorts — that is just insane. I am still flabbergasted. It is such an honor,” she said.

While in high school, Lombard was involved with cheerleading, martial arts and the Opportunities and Emergency Care (OEC) program at Spring Lake Park High School. Since she graduated, she spends most of her time as a volunteer staff member for the OEC program. She is also a nanny.

She plans to look into Century College's Intervention program, a pre-paramedic program, to see if that will work out with her busy ambassador schedule.

She is also open to exploring programs in the emergency medical services or fire services and also hopes to get involved with the Humane Society.

After her stint as an ambassador, she plans to enlist in the Air Force.

ATHLETIC SYMPOSIUM: Empowers female athletes to be proud of themselves FROM PAGE 1

“Their health is my priority, and I’m always willing to share my expertise in injury prevention and management. While practice and training are important to the success of an athlete, teaching girls to care for their minds and bodies allows them to recharge so they can maximize their efforts, both in school and athletics. Self-care is a lifelong skill. You can’t fi ll someone else’s cup if your cup is empty,” Wood noted.

Darcy Rylander from Allina Health spoke about the importance of healthy stress management skills for a more positive outlook on life. “Everyone is affected by stress at one time or another, and it can feel overwhelming. With the right tools, teens can learn early on how to manage stress before it takes a toll on their health,” she said.

Allina Health created Change to Chill™ (CTC,) which is a free online resource that educates young adults about stress reduction techniques, mindful-

ness, guided imagery, gratitude and meditation.

Rylander continued, “I want the girls to leave the session with an easy, effective strategy to help them build resilience and increase their coping strategies. These tools and ways of thinking, acting and believing will help teens through life’s ups and downs.”

Speaker Melia Cotter discussed growth mindset and handling defeat. Cotter is a social worker and Crossfi re Club volleyball coach. Her dedication toward the development of strong, mindful women led her to take advantage of the opportunity to teach on a larger platform.

“Our perspectives and opinions on things shape the way we see the world. With the increase in mental illness and suicide rates, I want youth to understand they are in control of their thoughts and their brain. When we have a growth mindset, losses allow us to grow and learn from the experience versus feeling defeated,” she explained.

The female athletes then sessions on building

community, teamwork skills, and how to resolve conflicts when they arise. Lauren Thrift from Mediation Services for Anoka County led activities for the girls to participate in.

“It’s important to be able to work well with people even if you don’t get along so you can achieve the common goal. We want the athletes to reflect on the importance of good teamwork and think about how to build a strong team and resolve conflict as it arises,” explained Thrift.

The day ended with a panel of Centennial alumnae composed of female athletes who answered questions the girls had for them. As the day wrapped up, one student said, “I have never felt so motivated in my entire life. I feel like I can do anything.”

Sendle thanked Centennial Area Education Foundation, Festival in Blaine, the Slipka Foundation, Xtreme Sports and Aldi for their contributions to the event.

FIREARMS COURSE: Teaches youth about dangers and responsibilities FROM PAGE 1

course for anyone who wishes to hunt in Minnesota who was born after Dec. 31, 1979.

“With the popularity of firearms today comes an important need to train young people not only about the associated dangers, but also about the great responsibilities behind firearms handling,” Leibel said. “Although the course is designed around the longstanding Minnesota hunting tradition, many students in past classes have been from nonhunting families who have recognized a need for their child to be safe and aware when encountering firearms in their daily lives.”

During the five weeks, students delve into a variety of topics, including different types of weapons, water/boat safety (duck hunting), difference between big and small game, baiting, trespassing, Minnesota and Lino Lakes regulations and much more.

Each week, the students have required reading and homework to complete. They also, of course, have to study for the final exam.

“This gives them an opportunity to ask the questions in a safe environment and get the answers that might be burning right now,” Leibel said. “The earlier we engage in these conversations and create opportunities for these guys to ask some questions, operate these guns, they (guns) are no longer a mystery, they are no longer cool.”

Leibel added the relationship that is made between the youth and the police department is also a major benefit. For example, he is continually surprised by the discussions the youth are willing to have with him about experiences they have had, or bad habits they have seen displayed by family members or friends.

Mother Ashlee Murray brought her

11-year-old son Joe and some of his buddies to the program and decided to stick around so she could have some conversations with her son about the topic. She said her son was interested in taking the class, because he wanted to hunt or get into trapshooting.

“I hope they see how important it is and what a responsibility it would be if they are able to handle guns in the future. With all the video games that kids do these days, guns lose that fear. I think it is so important that they learn that they need to be safe,” Murray said.

“I really like the fact that it is run by the police department. I think for my son to be able to see police officers are normal people and he can talk to them just like anybody else, he will feel more comfortable if he ever has to talk to them in the future.”

Eighth-grader Lance Nielsen decided to take the class so he can “hunt, meet new people and have a good experience.”

Deer hunting is Nielsen's primary interest and he hopes to carry on the strong family tradition of hunting. “I learned that you have to take precautions. You can trust yourself, but you have to take precautions about others,” he said.

Sophomore Parker Pederson wanted to take the course so he can duck hunt and maybe deer hunt, too. He said his family members used to do a lot of hunting but have not for a while. Parker's sister Meagan, a freshman, also took the course, as she hopes to get into hunting too.

The next firearms safety program will likely take place next August. For more information, contact the LLPD at 651-982-2300.

State Fair chapel has new outdoor stage

BY SARA MARIE MOORE VADNAIS HEIGHTS EDITOR

New at Crossroads Chapel this year is an outdoor stage.

The new stage makes the family-friendly entertainment more accessible to passersby, said longtime volunteer and board member Terry Schuveiller, of White Bear Lake.

Musicians and entertainers will perform at 1, 3:30 and 5 p.m. each day. An illusionist will perform in between and a theater group will perform in the evenings. Church services will be held inside at 7:45, 9:30 and 11 a.m. Aug. 26 and Sept. 2.

Another new feature of the chapel this year is an authentic cross with nails and a crown of thorns to better depict Christ's sacrifice, Crossroads Chapel in 1962.

Schuveiller said. The cross is inside the chapel where church services are held.

Besides worship services and entertainment, the chapel offers drop-in prayer, free Bibles and children's cross necklace crafts, Schuveiller said.

Chapel volunteers deliver 350 welcome bags to traveling carnival staff each year.

The nondenominational chapel is supported by many Minnesota churches, ministries and businesses. Churches send donations and volunteers to staff the chapel for the 12 days of the fair and a summer car show, including Living Faith Church in Circle Pines, Rockpoint Church in Lake Elmo and Redeeming Love Church in Maplewood.

Schuveiller attends Living Faith Church. He has volunteered for the chapel a total of 10 years and been on the board for six years. Also on the board from the northeast metro is Michael Peterson, of Stillwater.

The chapel is always looking for more churches, ministries and businesses to get involved. Its goal is to buy a furnace and air conditioning unit in order to use the chapel year-round, Schuveiller said. This year, the chapel met a big financial goal — it paid off its mortgage. The chapel operates on about $60,000 and has two part-time staff.

Crossroads Chapel today.

Crossroads Chapel has been part of the State Fair since 1954. It started out in a tent and moved to a small building in 1962. The chapel was located in a Quonset hut from 1986 to 2011. The new location it purchased is next to the Kidway, at 1362 Underwood Street, 1/2 block north of Dan Patch Avenue. For a schedule of events, visit chapelatthefair.com.

Stroke: a silent killer at any age

BY DEBRA NEUTKENS MANAGING EDITOR

When well-loved White Bear Lake booster Deb Stender succumbed to stroke at age 46 last February, the shock around the community was palpable.

Here was a strong, healthy woman who one day was planning events like Marketfest and Township Day, and the next undergoing emergency surgery to remove a blood clot in her brain.

“No one can tell me why she suffered a stroke,” said Stender’s husband Jeff. “She didn’t have high blood pressure, she ate well and exercised. Doctors told me it can happen to anyone.”

Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States, next to heart disease and cancer.

There are two types: ischemic and hemorrhagic.

About 87 percent of strokes are ischemic, in which a blood clot blocks blood flow to the brain. These strokes are treated with a clot-buster medication called tissue plasminogen activator or TPA, or in some cases a delicate neurological procedure. This is the type of stroke Stender suffered.

The second category is hemorrhagic stroke, in which blood bleeds into the brain. Treatment is more limited and very specialized.

The expertise required to deliver a full range of treatment options for both types of stroke is what distinguishes a Comprehensive Stroke Center from a Primary Stroke Center. The two closest comprehensive centers are Regions and United in St. Paul.

St. Joseph’s Hospital, which received Stender, is a primary center.

When asked if he wanted to bring attention to stroke after his wife’s untimely death, Stender readily agreed. It was an emotional interview, but the widower soldiered on as he told their story, sharing what he’s learned about warning signs and risk factors for stroke.

Deb’s mother, for instance, wonders if Deb had a deficiency of protein C in her blood, although there is no way to know for sure. Protein C is an anticoagulant and a deficiency is heritable.

“Deb was deficient at the time of death but because she had suffered so many strokes, we don’t know,” Jeff said. Their daughter Kaitlyn has since been tested and does not have the deficiency.

Stroke hits without warning Their sad ordeal started early the morning of Feb. 22 when Jeff was leaving for his job as a patrol sergeant with the Stillwater Police Department. He heard a cry and thought it was the dog. The dog was fine. He went back into the bedroom to check on Deb but she was asleep. Thinking back, he believes she made the sound and the stroke had started.

Kaitlyn found Deb in the living room before the start of school struggling to put on her jacket. She had toothpaste down the front of her pajamas. The car was running.

“Deb was confused when Kaitlyn tried to talk to her; slurring her speech. Her face ‘looked funny’,” Jeff recalled. “She was obviously having motor function issues.”

Concerned, Kaitlyn called her dad. He told her to call 911.

Time is critical for stroke victims. When the brain lacks blood flow, for every minute that passes, two million nerve cells die and 14 billion connections are lost, according to Regions Hospital’s neurologist Dr. Bret Haake. Successful treatment depends on timeliness.

In the past, aspirin helped one out of 77 patients

having an ischemic stroke, according to Haake in an article in Minnesota MD News. Today, stroke centers use the clot-buster TPA. If administered within three hours of stroke onset, one in three patients can be helped, he said. If the clot buster is given within 4.5 hours, it can help 16 of 100 patients. Beyond that timeframe, TPA, a potent blood thinner, is not administered as there can be greater risk than benefit. In fact, it can turn an ischemic stroke into a hemorrhagic stroke, doubling the danger.

In Stender’s case, no one knew the stroke onset so she did not receive the TPA. A person suffering stroke is not always aware they’re having a problem.

First responders identify needed medical facility It took Jeff Stender 12 minutes to get to his White Bear Lake home from Stillwater. When he arrived, paramedics were loading Deb into the ambulance.

When paramedics see the classic signs of stroke, they call in a special code to the nearest stroke center; in this case St. Joe’s. A special team is put on standby at the hospital so the patient goes immediately into a stroke protocol, bypassing the emergency room.

Jeff said Deb was coherent when she was loaded into the ambulance.

“I got in the rig and talked to her. She understood what I was saying but she couldn’t talk very well.

She was still having motor function issues. She tried to hug me and she couldn’t. She knew she was having a stroke.”

A medic crew uses the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale before calling in the code, said Assistant Fire Chief Joel Schmidt. The scale considers facial droop, arm drift and abnormal speech.

“If positive, we need to know the last known well time, along with a normal blood glucose level. If it’s less than 4.5 hours, the patient should be transported to a stroke receiving facility. If longer, they should be transported to a catheter-lab-capable stroke receiving facility,” he noted. St. Joe’s is such a facility.

“Time is critical for these calls,” stressed Schmidt.

“We strive for a scene time less than 15 minutes and immediate notification to the receiving facility.”

A team of neuroradiologists from St. Paul Radiology were waiting for Stender when she arrived at St. Joe’s stroke center. They performed a mechanical thrombectomy in an attempt to suction out the clot causing the stroke. The specialty team of four surgeons travels to Regions, St. Joe’s, United, Fairview Southdale and Methodist to perform the procedure.

When the surgery to remove the clot took three times longer than expected, Jeff Stender knew something was amiss. “The procedure did not work,” he recalled. “They kept trying but they couldn’t reach the clot.”

At that point, Deb was moved to intensive care to allow the stroke to run its course. “They told me there will be a portion of the brain that would die,” Jeff said. “We didn’t know how much damage there would be. The conversation turned to rehab facilities. No one was talking about anything other than rehabilitation and recovery at that point.”

It was not to be. Later that night, Deb suffered respiratory failure.

“No one could explain that either,” Jeff said. “I was making phone calls when they called the code; I knew it was for her. That was a surreal moment.

They got her stabilized and put her on a ventilator.

Then a neurosurgeon told me they had to remove

part of her skull due to brain swelling. It was one thing after another.”

After the second surgery, Deb was put in a medically induced coma. Jeff was still convinced his wife would make it. “They’re telling me she had a high likelihood of recovery. No one ever told me Deb was going to die.”

Death comes without answers At 2 a.m. Friday morning, Jeff and Kaitlyn went home to attempt sleep. It was snowing heavily. He remembers dozing off and waking up at 5:20 a.m.

“I was hysterical. I thought, something happened. I called the hospital. She was stable. I told the night nurse we’d be in at 8 a.m. We were getting ready to leave when the hospital called wondering when we’d be in. They wouldn’t tell me anything. But I knew. I didn’t want to believe it. She’d had at least two more strokes.”

A CT scan showed no brain activity.

“I appreciated the no-nonsense position the neurosurgeon took,” said Stender. “She said ‘your wife is gone; we can’t tell you why. There is nothing we can do. Your wife is going to die. We can leave her on a ventilator as long as you want but at some point you need to decide what to do. Don’t let anyone tell you there will be a miracle and she will come back.

“Everything that made Deb, Deb, is not there anymore. It will never be there again.”

Deb Stender was taken off the ventilator at 3 p.m.

Friday and died the next morning.

Risk factors for stroke The risk factors for stroke are mainly high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, smoking and hardening of the arteries.

Some heart conditions, atrial fibrillation for example, can put people at higher risk. It should be noted

SPOT A STROKE FAST WITH THESE SIGNS: B for balance E for eyes F A S T

for facial drooping for arm weakness for changes in speech for time to call 911

that high blood pressure parameters have changed.

The American Heart Association puts 120/80 at the high end of normal. Anything above that would be considered mild hypertension.

Teenagers who have suffered a neck injury or injured a blood vessel can have a stroke. Any injury to an artery can cause the body to make clots.

And birth control pills can heighten the risk.

Jeff Stender said he was told by Deb’s neurosurgeon that women over 40 shouldn’t be on birth control pills because it can increase the likelihood of stroke.

13th annual Officer Shawn Silvera Rotary Run The 13th annual Officer Shawn Silvera Rotary Run was held Saturday, Aug. 18, in Lino Lakes.

On Sept. 6, 2005, Lino Lakes Police Officer Shawn Silvera was killed in the line of duty while assisting in a high-speed chase on I-35W. Officer Silvera was struck by the suspect’s car after deploying stop-sticks. Tragically, he was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

Shawn made the ultimate sacrifice while serving to protect the citizens of the state of Minnesota.

The event, which had around 170 participants, included a certified, chip-timed 5K run with a Public Safety Challenge competition, Daisy Dash (family 2K) and the YMCA Splash and Dash (swim and run) for kids.
