Students from France visit Centennial BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
Last week 16 students from France experienced a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity while visiting Centennial High School and staying with local families. The high school seniors from Haguenau, France, a small town north of Strasbourg, participated in a home-stay language immersion program. “(The purpose) is to get the kids to discover a new culture and practice the language. They are having the time of their lives,” said teacher Pascale Rauch. Centennial French teacher Scott Swedin said, “This is a very unique experience. What the kids fear the most, the kids love the most. They hate it and they fall in love with it. This is a life-changing experience that they will not get later on in their life.” Rauch first participated in the program 27 years ago at Centennial as a chaperone and stayed with Victoria Boisn, who used to be a French teacher. Although the program did not happen for many years, Rauch kept in touch with the Centennial community. This trip took six years of organization. The main reason it took so long was making sure the trip was done as economically as possible for the students. The students attended classes at Centennial one day and went on various field trips, including a guided tour at the University of Minnesota, Weisman Art Museum, Minnesota History Center and the Minneapolis Art SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS Institute. During MEA break, the students were able to A group of students from Haguenau, France visited Centennial High School last week for a home-stay language immersion spend quality time with their host families. Many host families visited other destinations throughout the state program. During their stay the students attended Centennial classes, visited numerous destinations and spent time with their host families. and even in other states. Rauch said the hope is that the students learn to adapt and adjust to different situations while being nonjudgmental. Student Alissia Fau and Guillaume Monin really enjoyed spending time with their host families and other Americans. Fau said, “They (Americans) are very generous. They share a lot of things with you and they are interesting.” The two agreed that Americans wanted to learn about the French culture. “They are very curious. They don't stop asking questions,” Monin said. Fau added, “People in the street are interesting. When they hear that we are speaking French they come to us and ask questions and sometimes they try to talk French to us.” One difference the students noted was the celebration SUBMITTED SUBMITTED of Halloween.

Follow the money
I
F YOU FEEL like I do, going to the voting booth in the next few weeks to cast an intelligent vote will be difficult. Some of you may have already voted in absentia. You may also feel we have a difficult task in correcting the course our nation is taking. When you take a long look at our nation and the many problems it is facing you must wonder, like I do, if our leaders are truly representing us or are they self-serving and only gaining wealth and power? An effective democracy can be a two-party system but it About the must debate the issues and reach a compromise of what is Town going to be best for the constituents. I don’t think our governGene ment is functioning that way Johnson anymore. The root of this problem is that money is driving the elections. This includes the money by donors and lobbyists rather than true representation of the individual voter or citizen by the elected officials. In a complex nation like ours it is very difficult to be informed on all of the issues. I remember a number of years ago spending a day with Senator Rudy Boschwitz. I asked Rudy, “How do you stay on top of all the bills that come before you and hold all of the government agencies accountable?” He frankly said, “We can’t, we don’t.” I think it is difficult for the voters today to be well-informed. The mainstream media is doing a lousy job at explaining the issues to the voters. Look at all the sensationalism being thrown at us about this presidential election and the candidates. We are not being told the background on the major issues we are faced with. For example: a crippled federal health care program, an infrastructure that’s deteriorating and VA hospitals that are second or third rate in providing health care for our veterans, skyrocketing college tuition, widespread fear of terrorism and thousands of displaced people and children from the war-torn countries. The economy is also slow to recover from the last recession. The loss of good paying jobs going overseas. Service jobs grew but at a much slower wage rate. An informed electorate should correct the wrongs. It may be very slow in the process. At the moment I am not very optimistic about America’s future. We need to control the money spent by candidates running for office. We may have to limit terms. We need media to provide us with more in-depth information about the issues and we need a public who wants to be informed rather than entertained. Do your part and vote! Prior to and once the election is over do all you can to stay informed and communicate with Congress and with our political leaders on the federal, state and local levels. Give them your opinion. It counts. Our country appears to be unraveling at the seams. We are moving from capitalism to socialism and perhaps that’s the desire of America’s population. I treasure our freedoms, this land of opportunity, justice and free enterprise. We have enjoyed the blessings of liberty. Let’s work together to preserve what our founding leaders set in place a couple hundred years ago. Gene Johnson is publisher emeritus of Press Publications.

BBB tips on buying a puppy
W
hat’s not to love about puppies? They are playful, affectionate and cute. The fact that puppies are so cute is also the reason people sometimes buy them on short notice or on a whim. Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota ® (BBB) encourages consumers to treat this decision as they would any major purchase and offers tips to fi nd the right pet and avoid getting scammed. There are many factors to consider when trying to decide if the time is right to buy a new puppy. These include the size of your living arrangements, costs such as grooming and pet food – and regular trips to the veterinarian. It’s also a good idea to evaluate your lifestyle and make sure you are at a point in your life where buying a puppy is practical. Another priority should be supporting breeders and businesses that meet standards and maintain proper living conditions for their animals. In Minnesota, a law went into effect in 2014 implementing registration and licensing requirements for commercial
breeders. Be sure you’re clear on the history of your puppy and the establishment you’re purchasing from. In Minnesota, commercial breeders need to be licensed. Choose a breeder who is experienced with the breed of dog you are seeking. Also, be sure you have a written contract with conditions and guarantees spelled Movers and out. Keep in mind that scammers often Shakers advertise puppies and in Better Business online newspaper classifieds Bureau at very low or special rates and then ask people to wire payment. If you do this, you will very likely be out any money you send and you will not receive your pet. Never wire money to someone you haven’t met in person. In addition to those basic tips, BBB has analyzed consumer complaint trends and gathered the following information to help eager pet enthusiasts make informed decisions when purchasing a puppy:
Buying a puppy can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it can be a fairly involved process. By taking your time and considering all the angles, you’ll improve your chances of finding the pet that’s right for you. • Think things through. Ask yourself if you are ready to support a dog for the next 10-15 years of its life. Consider your financial outlook, your living arrangements and the time commitment involved before making a decision. • Check with BBB. Always research a pet store or a breeder’s background at bbb.org. File a complaint if any problems arise. • Find the breed that’s right for you. Some breeds are better with children than others and some are more social. Decide which attributes you’re seeking and go from there. • Consider adoption. Visit a local shelter or rescue agency and inquire about available dogs. Both offer a variety of different breeds and personalities to choose from. • Know your rights under the Pet Lemon Law (for Minnesota consumers) Pet consumers have
protections under Minnesota state law. In Minnesota, a purchaser has ten days to make claims about health problems and one year for congenital or hereditary defects or misrepresentation of breed. Under the Pet Lemon Law, “Common remedies include replacement of the animal, a refund of the purchase price, and/ or reimbursement of veterinary expenses, generally up to the purchase price of the animal.” Buying a puppy can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it can be a fairly involved process. By taking your time and considering all the angles, you’ll improve your chances of fi nding the pet that’s right for you.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A made for TV election season may not be what we need
Elections have consequences
Who could have imagined the made for TV drama playing out before us. Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, caught on tape in suggestively lewd talk? Or that this recording (by no less than George H. Bush’s nephew) would mysteriously materialize just a month before the election the very week more of opposing candidate Hilary’s quid pro quo emails were leaked? Or that after 30 years lived in the public spotlight; suddenly women are emerging accusing Trump of extreme misconduct. Well – Everyone. Yet, former supporters deserted Trump faster than their jaws could disingenuously drop. This despite the fact Hilary’s actions were disastrous to the lives of the women who accused her husband of proven philandering while he was president. Though I tend to have compassion for the difficulty of her past situation, I wonder, having gone through this herself, what measures Hilary took to lessen the impact on Melania – as it seems obvious her or the Democratic party’s campaign staff must have had a hand in the last minute revelations. (Her friends at the Washington Post took no thought to disrupting the life of Nancy O’Dell who afterward stated she did not want to become a public figure this way.) In any case, I feel somewhat cheated. This is unfair. You don’t use people as political footballs: and you don’t throw everyone in the country for a loop, where we have to make a determination without the facts three weeks before an election. Trump’s actions (outside of his comment) are alleged. Hilary’s known. Both huge negatives. Yet, each has equally notable pluses. In an industry where it was rare, Trump promoted women to positions of authority, while politically, Hilary advocated for women’s issues. So where do these pluses and minuses leave us? Well, with the Mideast falling apart, terrorism on the rise, and a national debt bubble that could burst, might we put aside the political gamesmanship for the moment and turn our focus to the candidates’ plans to confront issues bigger than the tabloid kind? This is if anyone’s willing to thrown attention that way. . . . Happy voting.
Voters, beware! Elections have consequences! While many may be focused on the national elections, more of us need to pay attention to what is happening in our own backyard in the race for Anoka County Commissioner. I have been disturbed to see Kevin Ryan signs popping up at the homes of neighbors who apparently know little about him. Allow me to share some information. Last month, he told the League of Women Voters in a forum that he was running for office because, “I was kind of goaded into this position.” According to a 2008 Star Tribune article, “he has been jailed in three Minnesota counties including Anoka and Chisago for alleged offenses including disorderly conduct, DWI-related cases, obstructing the legal process and contempt of court.” From that same article, “he has been jailed five times in Anoka for two moving violations, disturbing the peace and contempt of court. He also was named in 86 separate police reports fi led with the Anoka County sheriff, most of them involving civil disputes. In many of the civil disputes, he was the complainant.” In one instance it was reported that he knocked a woman to the ground, kicked snow in her face and called her abusive names. Since then, he has had more encounters with law enforcement and the courts. In May 2015, Kevin Ryan was arrested and charged with interfering with a peace officer and multiple public nuisance offenses. Within the last couple of weeks he has been reported as appearing at doors of people, including an elderly woman, who have Rhonda Sivarajah’s campaign signs in their yards, yelling at them. The township where he says he lives has gone to the extent of issuing a no trespass order against him. Is this who you want to represent you? Do your homework! Vote Rhonda Sivarajah for Anoka County Commissioner. She represents our community well! Kelly Gunderson Lino Lakes
DEATH NOTICES
Dennis D i JJerome Gulden
Pam J. Remme, 60, of Circle Pines passed away peacefully in her home on Oct. 16. Her wake was on Thursday, Oct. 20 and celebration of life was Friday, Oct. 21 at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church in Circle Pines.
Dennis Jerome Gulden, 72, of Lino Lakes passed away after a long and private illness on Oct. 15. A Mass of Christian burial was held Friday, Oct. 21 at St. Joseph of the Lakes Catholic Church in Lino Lakes and a private interment was held at Fort Snelling National Cemetery.
I wholeheartedly endorse our current state representative, Rep. Linda Runbeck, for re-election. I have personally experienced her willingness and competence in serving us in District 38A. In fact, she’s intervened twice on my behalf. For example, when I sent her an email on a Tuesday morning about a long-overdue car title, I was amazed to receive a response from Runbeck herself at midnight that same night. The next day, DVS called me, stated the title was being processed. On Thursday, DVS called me to say the car title was mailed. Another example was quite complicated. My daughter had been billed for a class at Century College she never enrolled in. The college insisted she owed them hundreds of dollars. The school even got the state’s collections department to grab my daughter’s tax refund! After three months of letters, visits and calls between me and the college that never got anywhere, I sent my fi le to Runbeck and asked her what to do. She met with college representatives and helped them identify a flaw in the online system that had caused the inaccurate billing. My daughter received full restitution, thanks to Runbeck’s knowledge and efforts. When government’s normal channel for citizens doesn’t work right, it’s important to have a proactive and responsive state representative like Rep. Linda Runbeck. Tom Sobetski Lino Lakes

Goofy rule, golden moment for Centennial soccer BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
It’s called the “golden goal” rule, and despite the pretty name, it’s probably the most puzzling policy in prep sports. The Centennial Cougars capitalized with a “golden goal” from Tessa Trettel — meaning sudden death overtime — to capture the section soccer championship 3-2 over Maple Grove. In the regular season, high school soccer overtimes consist of two five-minute halves that are played out. For some reason, in the playoffs, it changes to sudden-death, first goal wins, a modification for playoffs that has no comparison in any other sport. How come? “I have asked this question as well,” said Centennial coach Ginger Flohaug. “The difference in golden goal vs. playing the entire time has never been answered.” But that’s the rule and Centennial took advantage last Thursday to earn a trip to state. Ashley Ebeling, the Cougars’ top playmaker, swooped toward the goal from the left side, drew the Crimson’s excellent goalie LJ Kolodge toward her, and steered the ball to Trettel approaching the six-yard stripe. Trettel nudged
it past the goalie, 5:56 into the overtime. “Ashley slotted it perfectly on my foot,” said Trettel, adding that it wasn’t the first time they’ve scored together in that fashion. “I didn’t touch the ball that hard, so I thought it would be saved, but it ended up going in. Once I saw the ball in the net I ran straight to Ashley” — leaping into her teammate’s arms, actually — “and just kept thinking ‘we won, we won, we won!’ “ Trettel has eight goals this season, including a previous overtime game-winner, against Anoka, although that one wasn’t sudden death. “This is definitely a top sports thrill for me,” Trettel said about making state and getting the decisive goal. Another top thrill was winning “state” with her club team this summer. Flohaug was happy to put the game in the hands (or feet) of the two senior forwards, describing Ebeling as creative, quick-thinking, and fleet-footed and Trettel as “a workhorse, aggressive, and strong on the ball.” In her 17 years with the Cougars, she recalls just one other golden-goal win, in a semifinal several years ago. As for overtime rules, she prefers the two five-minute halves, but if playoffs are golden-goal then she wishes the regular-season was, too.

Kyle Nordby ignited a struggling Centennial offense with two long, perfect throws, then left the game limping but the Cougars scored again without him and defeated Anoka 21-14 in their regular-season finale on Wednesday. The Cougars (4-4) opened playoffs Tuesday as No. 4 seed hosting No. 5 Wayzata (2-6), with the winner playing again Saturday. Centennial trailed 7-0 in the third quarter before Nordby went long twice down the right sideline and was right on target. First, 6-foot-4 Alex Facon out-jumped a defender for a 62-yard gain, leading to a
four-yard TD to Riley Trettel. Moments later, Nordby hit Keshawn Story in stride for a 45-yard touchdown, then left the game limping. With Ryan Koob at QB, they had a drive capped by Deante Book’s five-yard run to break a 14-14 tie with 5:36 left. Nordby was 9-for-17 for 150 yards.

WHEY SIDE: Wargo Nature Center hopes to create a memorable experience FROM PAGE 1
As an interpreter, Rossetti covers a variety of topics at the center, including bird migrations, beekeeping, gardening, forestry and even mining history. The center's mission is to create awareness and appreciation of nature, the environment and its resources. “It’s not our job to spout off facts so much as provoke thought … we want to provide a memorable experience so people continue to go outside and be comfortable in nature, particularly with our younger students,” he said, adding the center often focuses programs around K-5 grade students, but also offers a variety of programs for adults. However, Rossetti said it’s sometimes difficult to get the word out about the classes at the center. For some participants, it was their fi rst time at the Wargo Nature Center and most didn’t know the center held such classes. Danielle Mongan, who attended the class with her sister, said she read about the class in a catalog while waiting in line for the DMV and thought it would be fun to do. “It was a good price, and it’s something different. Not just going to the movies. You’re making your own food … you can talk, have fun — and it’s interactive,” she said. Susan Lichliter, who took part in the class, said she simply wanted to make her own cheese instead of needing to buy it at a store. “I live on tomatoes and basil and I grow those, so I thought if I could make my own cheese, I got my own caprese,” she said. Rossetti said it’s important to keep adults engaged with activities like making cheese. “As adults, we always want to learn and stretch our skills and have fun and discover new talents and abilities,” he said. Another cheese-making class is planned for sometime in December. Mozzarella in 30 minutes What you need: - 1/2 cup water - 1 gallon creamline milk (one of the most natural forms of milk, which is homogenized) - 1/4 teaspoon cheese rennet - 1-1/2 teaspoons citric acid - salt to taste - 1 teaspoon cheese salt (optional) 1. In a small dish combine a 1/4 cup of cool water with citric acid. In a separate small dish, combine a 1/4 cup of cool water with the cheese rennet. 2. Pour one gallon of creamline milk into a large pot and place on stove. Heat milk on low to about 55 degrees, then add diluted mixture of citric acid. Mix lightly in an up and down motion. 3. Continue to heat to about 90 degrees, then add cheese rennet. Mix lightly until curds begin to develop and then stop. 4. Heat to 105 degrees, then turn off heat, cover and let curd develop for at least 5 minutes. 5. After 5 minutes, uncover curd mixture and separate with a large knife or spatula. (Optional: If you want a fi rmer cheese, turn the heat back on and cook the curd for 2 to 5 minutes longer.) 6. Using a colander, separate curd from whey. 7. Drain curd by pressing it down while in the colander with your hands or a spoon. 8. Add cheese salt to whey and return it back to the stove and heat up to 185 degrees. 9. Take a chunk of the curd and place it on a large serving spoon and dip into the hot whey for 10 to 20 seconds.
10. Remove the hot curd and fold it into itself, similar to kneading bread, to transfer the outside heat in. 11. Repeat steps 9 through 10 until the cheese has a glossy shine and stretches without breaking. 12. Form cheese shape and place in ice water bath. Fresh mozzarella can be stored in a little bit of liquid in the refrigerator
for two to three days. Ricotta Cheese What you need: - 1/4 cup lemon juice - 1 gallon whole milk - salt to taste 1. Pour one gallon of whole milk into a large pot and place on stove. Heat milk on low to about 185 degrees, then
slowly add lemon juice. Mix lightly in an up and down motion until curds appear, then turn off heat and let set for 15 minutes. 2. Strain curds into a cheesecloth and tie ends up. Hang bag with a bowl under it for at least 3 hours. Strain longer for a fi rmer cheese. Ricotta cheese can be stored in the refrigerator for two to three days.
