FALL PLAY: High school selects ‘hilarious’ farce PAGE 11

Veteran holds patriotism dear to her heart

Diving into books for Halloween

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

Quad area resident Brandy Fulton wanted to join the military after graduating from high school because she thought it would be a great opportunity to pursue her education and travel. Her 20-year military career shaped her as a person and inspired her to continue serving. “I am very patriotic and I have a lot of love for our country, our flag, the people who served,” she said. “I get teared up any time “The Star Spangled Banner” gets played. It is a good remembrance of all the people who died for our country and what it stands for, and I really hold that dear.” Brandy, 59, is originally from Pennsylvania, but lived in Circle Pines for 12 years before she moved to Lino Lakes in 2001. After a female recruiter from the Air Force visited her school, she knew that was the branch she wanted to be in. Brandy joined the Air Force on Dec. 7, 1979, and was on active duty for eight years. She started off her career as a dental assistant/hygienist working in a dental clinic. While stationed at Peterson Air Force Base

Empowering adults to help teens ‘Change to Chill’ BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

The percentage of ninth grade students who reported that they had mental health concerns lasting six months or more increased from 12.5% in 2013 to 17.3% in 2016 and 23.1% in 2019. The percentage of 11th graders who said they seriously considered suicide in the past year increased from 9.7% in 2013 to 12% in 2016 and 13.3% in 2019. Allina Health is trying to make an impact on those numbers, compiled from the 2019 Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) administered by the Minnesota Department of Education every three years. “We want to raise awareness of this resource that has been created and is free for use to our

community,” said Kaitlin Codner, nurse educator with Allina Health. “We want to help build resiliency and coping skills and help them start thinking of ways to have those conversations with teens.” Allina Health recently hosted two Change to Chill training sessions for the north metro, one on Oct. 25 at White Bear Lake City Hall and another on Oct. 28 at the Centennial Library. Change to Chill, which was launched in 2014, is a free online mental well-being program that aims to help identify what stress is, what causes it and, most importantly, how to manage it. The website includes resources, lessons and activities that are tailored to teens and educators/ parents. Techniques include mindfulness, life balance, mindful movement and guided imagery.

AIR FORCE VETERAN: Continues to find service opportunities FROM PAGE 1

in Colorado Springs, Brandy met her husband, Bruce, who was stationed at NORAD Combat Operations Center near Colorado Springs. Bruce was in the Air Force from 1980-1986 in fi re/ rescue. The two married in 1982. The Fultons were stationed at Ramstein Air Base in Germany for three years before going to Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico. While in Germany, Brandy was assigned to ATH, air transportable hospital, where with a 24-hour notice she could be sent anywhere. After eight years of active duty, she joined the Air Force Reserve, 934th Airlift Wing based out of Minneapolis-St. Paul in 1988. While in the Reserve, she got “called out” during Desert Storm. “Even though I was pregnant at the time, I still had to go on active duty at the Air Force base here. There were five or six of us that maintained the 934th while our counterparts went on active duty,” she recalled. One of her most memorable experiences from her time in the military was her two-week mission trip to Honduras in 1992. “That was really rewarding,” Brandy said. “We went up into the mountains and veterinarians and doctors inoculated animals and people. We extracted over 300 teeth during that time frame and worked with a Honduran dentist.” Brandy retired from the Air Force Reserve in 2000 but continues to fi nd ways to serve and make an impact in the military community. Now that she and Bruce are empty nesters, she said she has plenty of time on her hands to dedicate to military members and their families. She joined American Legion Post 566 and serves on the Bar and Building Committee. She is also president of the Lino Lakes Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network. “I wanted to help veterans and their families that needed services in our area. I think it is good to give back to all those veterans that have served over the years and who are serving now,” she said. Brandy currently works for a private practice in Roseville as a treatment and financial manager. Bruce is retired from a 37-year career with the U.S. Postal Service. This Nov. 11, Veterans Day, Brandy wants everyone to take a moment to think about what

Fifty volunteer drivers for Anoka County’s Medlink Transportation Program were honored during an Oct. 22 luncheon at the Banquets of Minnesota in Fridley. Between Sept. 1, 2018, and Aug. 31, 2019, volunteer drivers racked up a total of 137,843 miles on 6,885 trips, driving passengers primarily to veterans’ medical facilities in Minneapolis, St. Cloud, Ramsey and Maplewood, as well as to other clinics and medical facilities. Anoka County Medlink drivers contributed 9,157 hours of service. That represents more than 380 days. Commissioner Scott Schulte, chair of the Anoka County Board of Commissioners, lauded all the drivers for their service. “While we can

attempt to put a monetary value on the service provided by our volunteer drivers, in reality their true value is immeasurable,” he said. “This positive action means so much to the people our Medlink drivers serve.” Several drivers were specially honored for their long years of volunteer service with the Medlink Transportation Program: Five years of service – Dianne Pederson, Mike Reider, Doris LaVoi, Jim McGrath, Lonnie LaRose, Gerald Barbour and Eugene Auge; 15 years of service – Laura Louis.

cocaine use. The study used recent data from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The study measured use of marijuana, alcohol, vaping, pain killers and harder drugs

such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. In Minnesota, 6% of youth ages 12 to 17 and 19% of youth ages 18 to 25 use marijuana. About 23% of youth age 12 to 20 drink alcohol; and 14% binge drink.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its Oct. 28 meeting: • Held the fi rst reading of an ordinance enacting small wireless facility standards. Telecommunications Attorney Mike Bradley was at the council’s Aug. 5 work session to give an overview of the next generation of wireless services (5G), which will allow wireless providers to install a large number of lowerhanging antennas connected to fiber optic cable to provide significantly higher internet speeds. Bradley drafted a model ordinance for multiple cities in Minnesota, which will help cities comply with the new laws and prepare for the anticipated applications for the facilities. City Administrator Jeff Karlson explained that the city was told by Verizon that 5G would likely not come to Lino Lakes for another four to five years. • Appointed Andrew Nelson to the environmental coordinator position. Current Environmental Coordinator Marty Asleson will retire at the end of November. Nelson holds a bachelor's degree in conservation biology, has more than 10 years of experience in forestry and natural resources, is a certified arborist and tree inspector and holds a pesticide applicator license. Reinert wanted to know how involved Asleson was in the hiring process. Human Resources Manager Karissa Bartholomew explained that Asleson was present at the interviews and helped to create some information on the position for candidates. “Marty has been with us about 35 years. He knows where every blade of grass is in Lino Lakes,” Reinert said. Nelson will start in the position by the end of November; compensation is $31.79 an hour. • Appointed Matthew Carlson to one of the two vacant police officer positions. Nelson has seven years of experience as a police officer and will start in the position for $32.91 an hour near the end of November. • Authorized the sale of 40 fi re pagers to three departments in southern Minnesota. Public Safety Director John Swenson explained that the pagers were purchased for $443 each in 2015. Anoka County Central Communications upgraded the fi re paging system in late 2018 and early 2019. As part of that upgrade, all fi re agencies were issued new 800 MHz fi re pagers, and the old pagers no longer work. The three agencies have agreed to pay a total of $200 per pager. • Held the second reading of an ordinance that will rezone 502 and 510 Lilac St. from General Business (GB) to Light Industrial (LI). The applicant, SC Goldade Properties, proposes to operate a directional boring company, Direct Bore Inc. • Approved the planned unit development fi nal plan/fi nal plat and development agreement for Watermark 2nd Addition. Watermark is a 372acre master planned residential community consisting of 692 single-family lots and 172 townhome units totaling 864 housing units. Lennar submitted a land use application for the

latest phase, which proposes 57 single-family lots and four outlots. Reinert said, “We have been working on this for a half a dozen years; it has been a long time coming. It is going to end up being a real nice development for Lino Lakes.” • Accepted and approved a grant agreement between the city of Lino Lakes and the Metropolitan Council of Environmental Services (MCES) and approved a Certificate of Real Property. City Engineer Diane Hankee explained that the MCES grant program is for capital improvements to public municipal wastewater collection systems to reduce the amount of inflow and infi ltration to the MCES metropolitan sanitary sewer disposal system. As part of the grant program, the city must provide a Certificate of Real Property for projects located under any right of way. The city of Lino Lakes submitted a preapplication to the MCES for grant funding for improvements to the sanitary sewer system on LaMotte Drive and LaMotte Circle. The project is complete and is eligible for a minimum allocation of $50,000 in grant funding. The program requires a 50% match. The project cost was $165,500, for which the city's 50% match will be $82,750. • Adopted assessments in the amount of $69,205 for six properties where the owners requested connection to city utilities. Councilwoman Melissa Maher said, “The people on this list know about these assessments; they have okayed the fact that that is going to happen and they have signed a waiver to the hearing.” • Adopted assessments (to be paid by the developer, Hokanson Construction & Development Co.) in the amount of $272,552 for Eastside Villas. The proposed residential development is a single-family, 32-lot subdivision located east of the NorthPointe development and west of I-35E. • Adopted assessments (to be paid by the developer, Lennar) in the amount of $1,055,605 for the Watermark development. The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 12, at City Hall.

Resident voices concern about Lake Drive BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

LINO LAKES — A resident spoke up during open mike at the Oct. 28 City Council meeting to voice his concerns about traffic on Lake Drive. Lois Lane resident John Humenansky said he had concerns about the rush hour traffic on the heavily traveled road. “I am wondering if there are any future plans to address the traffic on Lake Drive?” he asked. “I live east of Lake Drive and sometimes it is really almost impossible to get out of there. The speed limit is 50 or 55 mph ... sometimes a car might leave a space for me to come out, but I can't see the oncoming traffic.” Mayor Jeff Reinert explained that Lake Drive is a county road, so the issue would have to be assessed by Anoka County. “This is something that has come up from time to time ... At a previous meeting we did talk about the fact that at one time it was 55 mph and it has just kind of been left alone for years as the town has been developing and there has been more traffic,” he said. “It is something that the city should take a look at and request regardless of the county taking a look at it. That could help a lot of people.” Humenansky suggested the city consider a future transportation improvement that would allow access to Main Street from properties east of Lake Drive. “If that was a possibility, that might alleviate that problem,” he said. Community Development Director Michael Grochala said, “Lake Drive is experiencing a lot of backups right now, predominately because of the I-35W/35E interchange construction. We are getting a lot of cutthrough traffic. Hopefully once that project is done that will free up some things.” Grochala added that the Pine Glen development, which was constructed in the late 2000s, included a street stub (Jane Avenue) that could be extended to James Street in the future, allowing access to Main Street. Grochala said that project would likely be done when the road needs to be reconstructed, which is still a few years out. He noted that the project would require the city to acquire additional right-of-way. Humenansky said that whatever the solution is, he would prefer not to see additional stoplights added to Lake Drive. Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

(Un)Happy 18th birthday OEF

here are soldiers who weren’t even born when we went to war with terrorists in Afghanistan, referred to as Operation Enduring Freedom. (OEF). Eighteen years and trillions of dollars later, military members are still fighting America’s longest war. By coincidence, my son left on his third deployment on OEF’s birthday, Oct. 7. He is spending Veterans Day and the next eight months in Afghanistan. Veterans Day Nov. 11 has special meaning for this soldier’s mom. My daughter is an Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan. Her older brother is still serving active duty, currently at Ft. Drum, New York. Both are White Bear grads. When our son was ordered to Afghanistan to command a medevac Feeling company, he left behind an understandInspired ing wife, also an Army veteran, and our 2-year-old granddaughter. He knew it was Debra Neutkens his turn to go to that wretched country and didn’t complain. He is resigned to deployment, knowing it’s part of the service and duty to country he swore to uphold. We talked about the nine-month deployment before he left, how he felt about being away, again. He spent a ninemonth deployment in Qatar only the year before, missing his daughter’s second birthday. Let’s see, this time he’ll miss her third, plus Thanksgiving and Christmas. He is following in the footsteps of 775,000 other Americans who’ve served at least one tour in Afghanistan since Oct. 7, 2001, when U.S. troops first arrived to battle al-Qaeda after 9-11. This deployment isn’t as hairy as his first, when he was in the thick of things in Helmand Province. People would ask me then if I was worried? I would always answer, “yes, but it’s out of my hands.” So far this year, the defense department reports 17 American service members have been killed in Afghanistan, the deadliest year for U.S. forces since the combat mission officially ended in December 2014. Most of the 14,000 U.S. forces there now serve in a NATO-led mission to advise and assist security forces in their fight against the Taliban and ISIS affiliates. It is mostly Afghan soldiers that medevac units support nowadays, although the Blackhawks are on call 24/7 for any type of emergency. “Is it scary,” I ask, “flying missions at night? ‘Sometimes,’” he replies, especially during the new moon when there is zero illumination — referred to as “red illum” — leaving the country in near total darkness. Even night vision goggles can’t cut through the blackness. He started to describe a particular mission last month flying the Hindu Kush mountain range at night, but stopped. He didn’t want to say something that would cause me angst. I know that so I let it slide. The danger isn’t lost on me. I am proud of my children and their willingness to serve, as I am of every military member. I hope people remember that Freedom isn’t Free on Veterans Day, and the personal sacrifice made by less than 1% of our population. President Donald Trump issued a proclamation last Friday declaring all of November as a month to honor American veterans and military families. In his Nov. 1 message, the country’s chief executive urged communities to “honor the service, sacrifices and contributions of veterans and military families for what they have done and for what they do every day to support our great nation.” Veterans Day has another meaning for me. Nov. 11 also happens to be our son’s birthday. We all chipped in to buy him a fancy expresso machine as a gift. To my surprise, Amazon conveniently ships to Bagram Airfield — who knew? His flight crews bemoaned the fact the group they replaced packed up their machine and took it home, so we agreed to replace it. Providing these dedicated soldiers the perfect latte is the least we can do. In honor of Veterans Day, I’d like to say Happy Birthday Eric. Please stay safe. Debra Neutkens is editor of the White Bear Press.

Making sense of your Medicare options Medicare annual enrollment period is here, which means you have until Dec. 7 to pick a new Medicare plan for 2020 if you want one. And, even if you’re happy with your plan, many people don’t realize their plan’s beneﬁts can change from year to year. So how do you know if you’ve got the right one? First your health needs, then your plan details First consider your health. Health history, and frequency and type of doctor visits, will help you identify the best-ﬁt plans. Preventive medicine and screening services are Movers & typically covered under Shakers Medicare plans, but it’s Sara Wagner important to think b t additional dditi about care you might need in the next year. Medications matter, too. Most Medicare plans offer outpatient prescription drug coverage, called Part D. As you think about your Part D options, check if your drugs are covered

by the plans you’re considering. When you have a good idea about the type of care you’ll need in the coming year, it’s time to explore the Medicare options available to you. Supplement vs Advantage In the Northeast Suburbs, many people will consider Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Supplement plans have access to any provider in the U.S. that accepts Medicare, meaning there is no network. However, Supplement plans can be more expensive per month and typically require a person to undergo a health evaluation before they can be accepted. These plans cover medical services only, so you will also need to purchase a Part D drug plan if you want drug coverage, and will have to carry multiple cards to verify your coverage with doctors and pharmacies. Medicare Advantage plans have the beneﬁt of convenience and simplicity. All of the coverage is within one plan – often with drug coverage included – and one number to call with questions. Many Medicare Advantage plans also have low or zero dollar premiums and extra beneﬁts like dental, eyewear and

routine vision and hearing exam coverage. Networks & quality It’s important to pick a plan that provides coverage at your preferred doctors, clinics and hospitals. Unlike Supplement plans, Medicare Advantage plans can change their network from year-toyear, so it’s important to look up your doctor and conﬁ rm they continue to be listed in the directory. Beyond network, it’s helpful to consult the recently released Medicare Star Ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. The agency rates plans’ overall performance in more than 40 areas across nine general categories. Making the choice Picking a health plan is very personal, so try talking with someone from the health plan you’re considering. You’ll get a better idea about the organization that will be caring for you and the beneﬁts of its plans. Sara Wagner Manager, HealthPartners Medicare & Individual Health Solutions

More than 350 high school students from 100 schools attended and were selected to receive scholarships to participate at one of two MBV sessions at University of St. Thomas or St. John’s University during the month of July. At MBV, small groups of students called “companies” spent the week developing an imaginary product or service. The students created a business plan and presented to a panel of professionals with the hopes of gaining a loan approval. While the proposals were theoretical, the ideas presented were meant to be a realistic representation of how companies run their businesses. Students in each company were mentored and guided throughout the week by professionals from local companies. The students listened to inspiring keynote addresses, learned about money management and career opportunities and participated in mock interviews. The speakers covered a wide range of topics such as managing personal finance, experiences in entrepreneurship and building a personal brand.

Playoff thriller: Cougars make big stops, tip Edina 21-20 in OT

For Centennial, it was yet another key injury, and yet another exciting win in spite of it. The Cougars pulled out a 21-20 overtime win over Edina at home Friday evening to advance to the third round of playoffs, getting huge defensive plays from Timothy O’Neill Jr. at the end of regulation and Mason Mix in overtime. Centennial (8-2) got a trophy for winning its four-team quadrant in the Class 6A playoffs and will now face No. 1 ranked Wayzata (10-0) next Friday in Chanhassen. The Cougars, decimated by injuries to defensive starters all season, lost an offensive star in the second quarter. Carter Anderson went out in a blaze of glory, hauling in a 37-yard touchdown pass from Connor Zulk, suffering a broken foot when tackled. Previously the Cougars have nipped Champlin Park 21-20, Maple Grove 21-14 and St. MichaelAlbertville 7-0 while patching up their defense. Up 14-0 after that touchdown, they went scoreless the rest of the way until overtime. Edina (5-5), perched on the Cougars 15 late regulation with enough time for two more plays,

had George Sandven throw for the end zone. Cougar senior O’Neill Jr. soared into the air with the receiver right at the pylon and came down with the ball with eight seconds left, sending the game to overtime 14-14. “We knew we had to make that play and we made it happen,” said O’Neill, who got between the receiver and the ball after he “read his eyes” and didn’t fall for the fake. In overtime, Cougar quarterback Zulk slashed six yards on first down, then handed off to Austin Wlaschin, who barged into the end zone from the four. Ricky Hemric’s kick made it 21-14. “It felt amazing. I trusted the whole line. I knew they would get me three and they did their jobs and I got in,” said Wlaschin, who slipped through several blocked bodies and dragged a tackler across the goal line. His third touchdown of the year went behind Brett Sonderman and Cameron Wolf. “It was thrilling to earn that one for the boys.” The Cougar defense stopped two runs before Sandven completed a 10-yard pass and star fullback Jonathan Bunce scored from the one on fourth down. Edina went for two. After two time-outs, the teams lined up with

everyone in the stadium screaming. Bunce, No. 44, got the handoff. There was a pile of bodies on the right side of the line — and the Cougars came away leaping for joy. Bunce had run right into Mix, a sophomore linebacker making his varsity debut at linebacker, replacing Centennial’s latest injured starter, Garret Strating. He stopped Bunce a half-yard short. “Mason had not played a down on varsity all year before tonight. He was on the sophomore team,” coach Mike Diggins said. “He had to go in for Garret, who was hurt last week. Mason was the one who stood him (Bunce) right up and stopped him from going in.” Mix told the StarTribune that he had a clear shot at the fullback when the Cougars blitzed. “Then it was just a group effort,” he said. Edina coach Darrin Lamker said: “We tried to get out of here right then and we gave it to our best player all year — and they made a stop.” Reminded that Edina won a playoff game 7-0 on the same field two years earlier by stopping Centennial from the one on the final play, Lamker nodded and grinned. “Exactly the same,” he said. “They got stopped an inch short and we got

GAME SUMMARY Edina ……..… 0 7 7 0 6 — 20 Centennial …. 7 7 0 0 7 — 21 Cen — Connor Zulk 5 run (Ricky Hemric kick) Cen — Carter Anderson 37 pass from Zulk (Hemric kick) Edina — Hamza Malim 43 pass from George Sandven (Jackson Fenske kick) Edina — Jonathan Bunce 1 run (Fenske kick) Cen — Austin Wlaschin 4 run (Hemric kick) Edina — Bunce 1 run (run failed) stopped an inch short. That’s the way life goes.” Diggins, asked to comment on O’Neill’s game-saving interception, said. “That was awesome — probably the play of the game.” He also cited backup quarterback Sam Pietraszewski for replacing Anderson as holder on Hemric’s allimportant XP kick and doing it flawlessly in his first hold of the season. Centennial, which lost to Edina 28-20 in its opening game, took a 14-0 lead in the playoff rematch. Zulk scored on a five-yard run in the first quarter, the senior quarterback’s 13th rushing touchdown of the season. In the second quarter, he connected with Anderson for their eighth touchdown of the season, from the 37. Anderson, also a basketball standout, broke a bone in his left foot when being tackled

and had to be taken to a hospital. He returned on crutches to the sideline late in the game to cheer for his teammates and ultimately join the celebration. “It changed our game plan a ton because we thought we could do play action with him and go deep,” said Diggins. “Once that disappeared, everything kind of got a little tighter on us.” Zulk, asked about losing his favorite target, said the team just had to suck it up. “Carter is a great player but other guys have to step up. We’ve still got guys that can run routs and pound the ball, so you’ve just gotta fight through it and man up.” Edina blanked the Cougars from then until the end if regulation and used a couple big plays to pull even. Sandven passed to Hamza Malim for a 43-yard touchdown in the second quarter.

Zulk completed eight of 15 passes for 122 yards with no interceptions. Anderson caught three for 83 yards, Mason Lindsay two for 24 and Erik Knutson two for 19.

Among runners in 10th grade or younger, he placed 13th. “He and I had higher hopes, but he had a great season and continues to improve,” coach Neil Kruse said. “His positive attitude and tremendous work ethic will lead to even better results next season.”

Pattie broke Centennial’s 5K sophomore record of 16:08, held by Ryan Kollmann, said Kruse, completing his 33rd season as coach.

Cougars girls are state runners-up to NWSC rival Maple Grove person can stop her.”

BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

A Northwest Suburban Conference team was going to be state champions this year, that was for sure. “I’m glad somebody from the Northwest won it — but I was hoping it would be us,” said Centennial coach Ginger Flohaug after the 2019 state Class AA finals. Instead, Maple Grove wore the gold medals with a 2-1 victory over the Cougars in the duel of very familiar rivals Thursday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Three of the final four were NWSC teams. The No. 5 seeded Crimson dealt top-seeded Champlin Park its first loss 3-0 in the semifinals, then took down No. 2 seed Centennial in the finals. Maple Grove led 2-0 before Centennial’s Khyah Harper scored her 26th goal of the season, on a header off a corner kick from Madison Monson, with 12:44 left. The Cougars kept furious pressure on the goal in the waning minutes but couldn’t get the equalizer. “We had to battle them for 80 minutes,” said Crimson coach Ben LeVahn. That was the only goal allowed by Maple Grove (18-2-1) in five section and state tournament games as they captured their school’s first state soccer title. They were runnersup to Eagan two years ago. Centennial finished 18-3. They had won 12 straight since losing to Champlin Park in conference. This was Centennial’s seventh state trip, and second in a row reaching the finals. The Cougars were champs in 2016, their last state trip. “The season was awesome,” said Molly Monson, senior defender

and co-captain. “It did not end the way I wanted, but I couldn’t have asked for a better team to play on.” The Cougars reached the finals with two overtime victories both by 2-1 over Lakeville South and Rosemount. “The team fought hard all season,” Flohaug said. “We came up against great opponents in the state tournament, and even though we had not been in an overtime situation all season, I thought my team handled the pressure well.” Centennial and Maple Grove battled for the 2019 state title after clashing in their section finals the previous five years, with Centennial winning the first three of those and Maple Grove the last two. The Cougars beat Maple Grove 2-1 in conference this year but the Crimson got the one that counted most. Until this year, Maple Grove, Centennial and Champlin Park all played in the same section. They wound up in three different sections this year with realignment. Good thing, as they were ranked No. 5, No. 4 and

No. 1 in the final coaches rankings. A fourth NWSC team, No. 6 Andover, lost to Centennial the section finals. “I think it speaks highly of our conference to have three of the last four teams,” Flohaug said. Maple Grove had only five shots on goal but two of them were perfectlyplaced and eluded Centennial’s peppy little goalie Jenna Lang. Kelly Kloncz, junior forward, slid one just inside the far post in the 18th minute. Emma Fournier, junior midfielder, drilled one just under the crossbar in the 42nd minute for a 2-0 lead. “Maple Grove can take shots from all over the place,” said Molly Monson. “That’s what makes them hard to defend.” The Cougars trailed 1-0 at halftime despite having a 7-2 edge in shots on goal. Crimson goalie Sarah Cortez was always there with a leap or a lunge to foil them. “Their heads were down, and their body language, too, at halftime,” said Flohaug, “because we had so many opportunities and

Inaugural youth deer season: 5,700 young hunters on target Nearly 5,700 young deer hunters harvested a deer during the DNR’s first statewide youth season Oct. 17-20. The tally represents a 77 percent increase from the 2018 youth deer season when the hunt was limited to fewer areas. More than 20,000 youth licenses sold prior to start of statewide youth deer hunting season. “We know that a number of youth license-buyers won’t be hunting until the regular firearms deer season, but the large increase in harvest reflects the great response to this new opportunity,” said Barbara Keller, big game program leader for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. “Positive early hunting experiences go a long way toward starting or continuing a rewarding fall tradition.”

Before opening day of the Minnesota’s first statewide youth deer hunting season, 21,211 youth licenses had been purchased, up more than 50 percent from last year at the same time. After the first day of the season, the total increased to 27,960 youth licenses. A total of 7,896 licenses purchased through the youth season were for first-time license holders. The first regional youth deer hunting season happened in 2004 in northwestern Minnesota. Over the years, youth deer hunting season expanded to 28 deer permit areas in parts of southeastern and northwestern Minnesota and the Twin Cities metro area where deer are most abundant.

The Cougars reached finals with two overtime wins, over Lakeville South 2-1 on two goals by Harper (covered in last week’s paper) and 2-1 over No. 3 Rosemount in double overtime on two penalty kicks. Against Rosemount, Madison Monson delivered a penalty kick the 58th minute, and, after one scoreless 10-minute overtime, Lauren Ahles hit one at 1:52 into the second OT, after she fell in the box and officials ruled she had been stepped on. Rosemount’s Lexi Orland tied the score with a goal just a minute after Monson’s. Centennial’s Lang stopped eight other shots on goal. Hecht made six saves for Rosemount.

Centennial rower’s team has high finish in Boston gala BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

A rowing team including Skylar Dahl, Centennial junior, placed 10th of 85 entrants in the sport’s biggest event, the Head of the Charles Regatta in Boston, on Oct. 20. Twin Cities Youth Rowing (TCYR) made a big jump from 35th place last year to 10th this year in the Women’s Youth Fours category. In its 55th year, the Head of the Charles is the largest two-day rowing event in the world, with about nine thousand athletes in 55 races. The race is a three-mile course on the Charles River from Boston University to Northeastern University. Dahl’s role is the Stroke position, responsible for following direction from the coxswain in setting the stroke rate. Her teammates are Claire Willett (coxswain), Elsa Bixby, Eliza Price and Jillian Oncay. Their coach is Rebecca Newman. Last year’s encouraging 35thplace finish made them realize that they could do much better, maybe even top ten, said 16-year-old Dahl. “We set about committing our full attention to training, which included weight lifting, rowing on indoor rowing machines during the winter, and rowing hard on the water during the spring and summer months,” she said. With the Edina-based TCYR organization behind them and “a talented coach cheering us on,” Dahl said, the group knew they had the support they needed to crack the top 10. “And that’s just what we did.”

Stillwater halts Cougars’ banner volley season in section semi’s BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

Centennial’s bid for a state tournament in volleyball was derailed by Stillwater 3-1 in he Section 4AAA semifinals on Oct. 28. The No. 2 seeded Cougars, who had won 14 straight matches, finished 23-5. “I am very proud of all this team accomplished this year. Five losses on the season is nothing to be sad about, but of course whenever the season ends it is going to hurt,” coach Jackie Rehbein-Manthey said. Centennial cruised in the first set 2515 but No. 3 seeded Stillwater scored the first nine points of the second set and clobbered the Cougars 25-11. In the third set, Centennial led 22-20 before Stillwater got the last five points to win 25-22. The Cougars hit two spikes just out-of-bounds in that stretch and the Ponies landed two just inside the line. In the fourth set, Stillwater played with confidence and the Cougars looked a bit jittery. That score was 25-19. The Ponies had stronger hitting around the rotation than the Cougars throughout, led by 6-2 Maddie

Whittington. Their serve-receive was sharp, giving up just two aces. “Stillwater played very well and we were unable to find an answer,” Rehbein-Manthey said. Sydney Petersen, Centennial junior, had 17 kills and passed the 1,000 mark for her career (see separate article). Ashley Crowl was next with nine. Mackenzie McDonald made 23 digs and Jadyn Clarner 28 assists. Stillwater (16-14), which has won the section the last two years, lost in the section finals to North St. Paul. The 2019 season was one of the best in the 18-year tenure of Rehbein-Manthey, who has 328 career wins. Their ledger included two championships and one runner-up finish in three invitational tournaments, the best they’ve ever done in tournaments. “Unfortunately, our season ended before we were ready,” the coach said. “I was really hoping we could have extended our season a little bit more for our seniors. They have been great leaders and ambassadors for Centennial volleyball.” Seniors bowing out were McDonald, Annika Beuning, and Katie Bolkcom.

High school selects ‘hilarious’ farce for fall play BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

Around 40 Centennial High School (CHS) students are slated to perform a play that has only been performed once before the production Nov. 6-9. The school’s Fall Play, “Murder Crime!” was written by Twin Cities playwrights, one of whom is Edina High School Theater Director Justin Spooner. CHS Director Eric Webster saw the play at Edina High School last year and knew it would be a great show to put on at CHS. “I saw it and knew instantly I wanted to direct it. It has only been performed once before,” he said. The basic plot line goes like this ... Some people get invited to a mansion by a ghost, who sends them in search of missing treasure and a lot of people end up dead. “I know that doesn't sound funny on paper, but it is. Trust me,” Webster said. “The plot is really ridiculous itself. It's better to think of the show as a series of jokes and bits. It's a hilarious farce. It has huge exaggerated characters and ridiculous cartoon-like comedy.” Sophomore Braden Williams plays the role of Pembridge, the butler. “I am the butler who brings everyone in, and no one knows how to pronounce my name,” he said. “My entire character consists of keeping a straight face — and the tuxedo is nice.” Williams said this kind of comedy is “rare to see.” “It calls itself out a lot and talks to the audience. It is not something that I have ever seen, and I hope it is something new for other people too,” he said. This will be Williams’ first time on the stage. Last year he was in charge of lights in the play. “I think I was really waiting for a comedy (to be on stage). I understand comedy more,” he said. “I enjoy making people laugh more than I enjoy making people cry.” In addition to his role as butler, Williams is also in charge of marketing for the play and wrote a good portion of the music. “All of the music is very impromptu,” he said. This will be junior Charlotte Taddeo's first time in a play as well. She decided to try out “for fun,” since she knew Webster from improv at Centennial Middle School. “I thought I was going to be on the set crew or something,” Taddeo said. “Webster said the character he imagined (for the narrator) was a lot like what I do in improv.” Taddeo said she has really enjoyed the narrator role because it means she is on the stage for virtually the entire show. However, memorizing all of her lines has been a challenge. She described the show as “ridiculous and stupidly funny.” She elaborated, “The humor is very cartoony, it is not very realistic.”

We all really need to laugh and experience something

inclusive to anybody.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com. Junior Charlotte Taddeo is the narrator for the play. She enjoys the role because she is virtually on stage the entire show.

Winter-like weather is starting to creep into our forecast vocabulary. Winter weather has passed off to our north, west, south and east. Relatives in Madison, Wisconsin trick-ortreated in several inches of snow. While a bit chilly here, our weather has cooperated lately. I only say that because it looks like that has come to an end for the time being. Snow and most noticeably much colder than normal temperatures are sticking around for a bit here. Better to have below normal temperatures now than in January or February I always say. Don't fret too much about this cold. Temperatures will rebound and maybe even run above average to end the year out.

CHANGE TO CHILL: Training program changes way teens react to stress FROM PAGE 1

me to help my child as he begins to navigate through the stressful teen years.” One of the main goals of the training sessions is to familiarize attendees with the Change to Chill website and all it has to offer. All of the content, activities and videos are designed in partnership with high school interns. “We want it to be realistic, relevant and relatable,” Codner said. “We want those who attend our sessions to feel confident and able to use our website and program as a resource.” Healy said she felt the training was very useful. “I hope to take the resources we got and dive in a little deeper and see what we can do here at the library,” she said. “A lot of the information we learned is useful for all of us in our everyday lives, so will be helpful at work and at home.” Allina Health also has a Change to Chill School Partnership program, which works with schools directly to create things such as “chill weeks” and “chill zones.” “Mental health is such a muchneeded conversation right now,” Codner explained. “Mental health is health.” For more information about Change to Chill, or to access the free resources, visit changetochill.org.
