members, are invited to attend the dedication on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. Executive Director Lefawn Kibble came up with the idea to have a Wall of Honor earlier this year as a way to honor their residents who served. “We thought it would be really cool, because we have so many veterans here,” Activity Director Ronda Taber explained. Taber began working on the project a few months ago when she sent out letters to residents’ families. She then began collecting photographs and

The Centennial School Board is now in the same boat as many other districts across the nation and state that have to fill a vacancy due to a resignation. School Board Director Stephanie Carlson, whose term was supposed to run CONTRIBUTED through 2024, Stephanie Carlson submitted her resignation, effective Oct. 18. The school board held a special meeting Nov. 1 to officially accept the resignation and put a process in motion for filling the vacancy with a one-year term. The board also discussed the topic beforehand in a work study session. According to the Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA), around 70 board members have resigned from their positions in 2021 within the state — triple the number of resignations in a typical year. Carlson submitted a letter of resignation dated Oct. 18, which informed the school board she was resigning, effective immediately. “I’ve spent the last 13 years actively involved in the Centennial School District...

Lino Lakes Assisted Living debuts Wall of Honor SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS

Lino Lakes Assisted Living and Memory Care Maintenance Director Phil Wanna makes sure one of the shelves for the Wall of Honor display is level. The care facility plans to hold a dedication ceremony at 2 p.m. on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. BY SHANNON GRANHOLM LEAD EDITOR

When you walk into the lobby of Lino Lakes Assisted Living and Memory Care, you are greeted by photographs of 13 (and counting) faces of military heroes who all served our country. Later this week, the care facility will hold a big reveal of its new Wall of Honor to pay tribute to residents who are veterans. Veterans and their families, along with other residents and community

Council gets first glance at possible rec center name LINO LAKES — The City Council has directed city staff to continue moving forward with plans for the recreation center with a target opening date of April 1. Back in September, the council approved a brand and marketing proposal for the rec center, the former YMCA building. Marc Morgan of GameDay Sports and Ryan Delwiche of WSB presented the top choice for the name of the facility at last week’s work session.

“We have done a lot of research and brainstorming with our marketing team … One of the really important things is creating a brand and a theme that will allow for future growth. We wanted it to be unique and authentic to Lino Lakes,” Morgan said. The consultants kept coming back to one of the things that makes Lino Lakes unique — the fact that Lino Lakes is home to one of the state’s largest great blue heron rookeries, located on an island in Peltier Lake. Although the name has not been selected, one suggestion was the Rookery Activities

Center. “Coming here for the first time, I knew there was a colony but I didn’t know it was called a rookery, to be honest with you,” Morgan said. “They all live in a colony, young and old. We want residents, young and old, to participate and be a part of the activities center. Obviously, that generates a lot of community pride. They are birds that stick together.” They’re also featured in the carved backdrop for the council dais at City Hall, and the city's new water tower SEE ROOKERY, PAGE 6

be a random drawing to determine who can come up to the podium to address the board. Guthmueller said the change came about after the Oct. 18 meeting, when seven speakers signed up, but only five were permitted to speak. “We got lots of feedback in a negative sense that we didn’t make sure it was balanced… It is such a balancing act for Jody (Josephson, executive assistant to the superintendent) to do that,” she said. School Board Director Sue Linser said she liked the idea of having the process be more random. School Board Director Tom Knisely agreed. “We don’t want to be in the position where Jody is

I have been a staunch supporter of our schools and an advocate for students and staff. That is what prompted me to run for school board,” she wrote. “I’ve made the difficult decision to resign from the school board for personal reasons.” Initially, the proposed timeline to fill the vacancy was to have the application window open from Nov. 2 through Nov. 9, but School Board Clerk Kathryn Timm thought that wasn’t enough time. “This is so abbreviated,” she said. “I think we have a little more time than we are allowing.” Superintendent Jeff Holmberg explained that his executive assistant, Jody Josephson, had already done a lot of the legwork prior to the work study session. Josephson looked up information via MSBA and found example timelines from other districts, specifically Brainerd (ISD 181), which is currently going through the same process. “It is a very quick and condensed timeline,” Holmberg admitted. “It is really important that the board member be seated at the January meeting.” Timm said her main concern was that because the timeline was so tight, the district might miss out on great candidates that didn’t know there was a vacancy. “I don’t believe that is enough time for applications … It seems to me we need to think about transparency, the overall community and whether or not people are going to think we are conducting a fair and open process.” School Board Chair Suzy Guthmueller explained that since this is an appointment by the board, and

having to pick winners and losers.” Timm suggested the next change. The guidelines state, “Individuals who interfere with or interrupt speakers, the school board or the proceedings may be directed to leave.” Timm suggested changing the word “may” to “shall.” The board agreed. Timm said the board may also need to consider having a school resources officer (SRO) attend meetings, which it has done on occasion in the past. “We did that in June, and they did behave better,” she recalled. Another option the board could consider in the future, Guthmueller said, would be to hold the public forum prior to the regular meeting. “We will continue tweaking our public forum guidelines to try to make it as friendly as we can be and make it work for what it is meant to do,” Guthmueller explained. “We are in an interesting time right now, and trying to maneuver through … I want to hear what people have to say. I hope they will come and be respectful.”

Beginning Nov. 15, there will be some changes to Centennial School Board’s public forum guidelines. The board discussed the guidelines most recently at last week’s work study session. “We have talked about public forum quite a bit. It used to be not so popular and now it has gotten quite popular,” School Board Chair Suzy Guthmueller explained. The fi rst change Guthmueller requested was that signs not be allowed inside the district office, specifically the board room. “I’d like to see that we don’t have signs in the board room. I don’t think it is inappropriate. It’s distracting,” she said. School Board Clerk Kathryn Timm agreed. “Waving signs should not be permitted That kind of thing is out of line,” she said. Meeting attendees would still be permitted to have signs outside of the district office. Another change the board agreed upon is how speakers are selected. If more than five individuals sign up to speak during the allotted 15 minutes of public forum, there will

not an election, the timeline is up to the board’s discretion. The board ultimately agreed that it would accept applications from Nov. 2 through Nov. 12. The board planned to hold a closed session to review applications Nov. 15; the reason given for closing the meeting was be to discuss personnel data, which are protected under statute. Press reached out to Mark Anfinson, attorney for the Minnesota Newspaper Association, who explained that there is no general exception under the Minnesota Open Meeting Law for personnel data, nor a specific exception that would allow a meeting to be closed for the purpose of reviewing personnel data, including applications for school board vacancies. Press contacted Josephson on the matter, and Josephson explained that after the school board meeting, she reached out to the Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA), which confirmed that all portions of the Nov. 15 meeting would need to remain open to the public. The board will interview the top candidates Nov. 22. The board’s pick will then be appointed at the Dec. 6 meeting, and the new candidate will officially be sworn in Jan. 10. In November 2022, in addition to three other seats up for election on the board, there will also be a special election to fill the newly appointed seat for two more years.

She also grew up painting and drawing, including artwork inspired by the sounds she could see. It wasn’t until a college psychology class that Kraning suspected she might have auditory-visual synesthesia. She was working toward a minor in psychology for a career as a speech and language pathologist, and said she felt her face go hot when the professor described the condition. A short time later, she took a synesthesia battery—a diagnostic test—and confirmed that the sounds she saw were always consistent, and that she did have auditory-visual

synesthesia. Her paintings are abstract representations of the colors and patterns she sees when listening to music or sounds. High chimes, for instance, appear as a bright, sparkling white or yellow, while the sounds of screamo music appear something like TV static, with a lot of dots that are harsh and fast. The colors appear in her mind’s eye as she listens, and can even become distracting when she’s trying to focus. “It’s like a little bit of a Fantasia situation where there are colors, shapes and patterns fading in and out as the music shifts.

The new playground is mostly complete; one more piece of equipment remains to be installed in the spring. • The district continues to work on fi nding a solution to some ongoing issues at the ice arena. Executive Director of Business Services Patrick Chaffey explained that following installation of the new ventilation

d i h system, condensation has been forming up by the roof and trickling down the new sheetrock. There is an ongoing concern for mold issues, so the district continues to have conversations with contractors on how to fi x the issue. • The school board will make minor tweaks to its public forum guidelines. See full story on page 7. • The school board will consider an updated joint powers agreement (JPA) with Northeast Metro Intermediate School District 916 at its Nov. 15 meeting. Chaffey explained the JPA was created in 1969, and the update was needed when a member district (St. Francis) wanted to leave the district. Per the updated JPA, a member district wishing to withdraw must provide notice by Feb. 1 for withdrawal effective June 30 of the following fi scal year. Notice of the withdrawal must be via resolution and passed by the member district’s board. The next Centennial School Board meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 15, at the district office.

Sarah Kraning was an imaginative child, so her family didn’t think much of it when she said she could see colors and patterns whenever she heard music. No one ever seemed to know what she was talking about, so she started keeping these experiences to herself. But today, Kraning shares her unique experience with the neurological condition auditory-visual synesthesia with thousands of curious fans over TikTok through her informative videos and one-of-a-kind artwork. “I went from only telling

a few friends and family to sharing it on this platform,” Kraning said. “I didn’t expect the following we would get or how interested people would be. I remember feeling nervous about so many people learning about this part of my life, but quickly I realized there was a big community of people with synesthesia, and it helped them feel a little braver talking about their own synesthesia.” Approximately 2-4% of the global population is estimated to have some form of synesthesia, but many people don’t even realize they have it because they’ve never heard of it.

Freedom isn’t free

n Nov. 11 the nation will celebrate Veterans Day by honoring our nation’s soldiers. It’s a national holiday to remember the sacrifice of our past and current men and women who wear the uniform to defend and protect our country. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, over 42 million Americans have served our nation in uniform during wartime and of that number there are over 16 million living wartime veterans. There are another 5 million living veterans who served in the military during peacetime. Throughout the years, I have met and talked to many veterans from World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their stories are captivating and humbling. What struck me the most was their humbleness and how they talked about their fellow soldiers — not about themselves. My dad and uncle both served during the Vietnam War. My dad enlisted in the Navy in 1965 and my Noelle’s uncle received his first draft notice in 1963; but since he was married, he Notes didn’t have to enlist in the military. However, in 1966, he received another Noelle Olson draft notice and had to enlist because President Lyndon B. Johnson rescinded the draft deferments for married men in 1965 that President John F. Kennedy had put into place. My dad served in the Naval Air Reserve in Lakehurst, New Jersey near where the Hindenburg crashed and burned leaving behind my mom who was seven months pregnant with my older sister. Eventually, my mom and sister moved to New Jersey and my dad stayed on US soil as a duty driver and he was also on the Navy bowling team. He was an E-2 when he arrived and ended his six-year commitment as an E-9. My uncle attended basic training at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri. During the next year, he was sent off to Fort Belvoir in Virginia, Fort Stewart in Georgia and finally to Fort Carson, Colorado where he was trained as a heavy equipment mechanic. After that, he set sail on a ship to Vietnam. He said he couldn’t believe how hot and muggy it was in Vietnam when he got there. He spend a year in Vietnam and at the end of his tour of duty, he was an E-5. He received a Good Conduct Medal and an Expert Marksmanship Badge. My uncle never used to talk about Vietnam when he was younger, but he started to open up about his service while he was in his 60s. He said he saw a lot of “bad stuff” and lost a dear friend in his platoon who was killed in action. I asked them questions about their service and the one thing they both said was how bad American soldiers were treated when they came back from Vietnam. Ken Moffett, an American art curator, museum director and author who passed away in 2016, wrote an article in 2001 titled, “Coming Home: A study in contrast,” which states, “Perhaps the cruelest aspect of the war was the treatment of the returning soldiers. Unlike the hero status given to the returning soldiers form World War II, the soldiers that served in Vietnam were portrayed as baby killers, psychos, drug addicts and war mongers. It was not an uncommon scene for returning soldiers to be confronted at airports by protesters carrying signs with anti-war slogans.” My dad said the way police officers are treated now in our nation reminds him of how soldiers were treated when they came home. The sacrifices are great for those who have served and continue to serve in the military. These brave men and women leave their families and continue to fight for our freedom and keep us safe. I personally want to thank my dad, uncle and all the veterans in our nation for their sacrifices. When you see a soldier on the street or in your community or you run into a veteran at the VFW or American Legion, thank them for their service. They will appreciate it and always remember that freedom isn’t free. Noelle Olson is the staff writer of the Shoreview Press. She can be reached at 651-407-1229 or shoreviewnews@presspubs.com.

Thank you veterans

eterans Day is on Nov. 11, the same date as it has been each year since 1918 when it was originally set to mark the end of World War 1, the “war to end all wars.” Of course, there have been many wars since, and unfortunately there will likely be more wars in our future. Such seems to be neither a Democrat nor a Republican issue: it is the nature of the human condition. Each of us, or Movers & veteran not, needs to take a moment Shakers to reﬂect on Dave the service of Bartholomay our veterans and what they have done for us and for our country. You see many slogans and T-shirts that get to the point (I think of “All gave some – Some gave all”). But perhaps as important is for us to take a moment on Nov. 11 to reﬂect on how our life has been positively impacted by those who have served in our armed forces. My father was a Korean War veteran, and serving meant a lot to him. As he got older, I would drive him to Army

reunions with his fellow soldiers all across the country. Often the reunions were near the army base at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, but they also met in Portland, Oregon, Bangor, Maine, Kansas City, and North Dakota. To sit nearby and listen to the stories was an experience I will never forget. These were not glory stories, but rather about how difficult the situations were and how they all had that shared experience. They were in the mortar division, secretly moving bombs under the cover of darkness to resupply the front lines, and their service was dangerous and important. Later in life his veterans’ benefits paid for hearing aids (needed because he spent a couple years next to mortar launchers) and other services. He was proud of his service, and I was proud of him serving. It helped to positively shape his life going forward and gave him a sense of shared belonging with what became lifelong friends. On Veterans Day you may or may not be a veteran (I’m not). And you may or may not have veterans in your family and friends (I do). Either way I’d like to ask you for a favor: On Veterans Day (Nov. 11) can you pause your busy life for a moment – can you reflect on

the service that others have given so that we can live such free and wonderful lives in the USA? Can you think about how important it is for our country to make sure veterans get our appreciation and support so that they do not have to worry about health care or other important needs? You may or may not like the wars that our country gets into, or how we get out of them. The soldier doesn’t get to choose; they just go. Their bravery, their service for others is what drives them forward. We owe each and every service member and veteran a big thank you! The US ﬂag from my father’s funeral provided by an Honor Guard, and the one from my uncle’s funeral, are proudly cased and displayed in my living room. On Veterans Day I’ll be putting my hand over my heart and saying a prayer for all of our veterans, past, present and future: “Lord, please help our country take good care of all of our veterans and watch over our current soldiers, bringing them home safe and sound, so that they can enjoy life in our wonderful country. Amen” Dave Bartholomay is mayor of Circle Pines.

Make a plan for deer hunting season

1. Buy a license. It starts with deciding which deer permit area you will be hunting so you can buy the appropriate license. 2. Get your deer tested if required. Invest in the health of Minnesota’s wild deer by participating in chronic wasting disease sampling. 3. Know the regulations. Read up on the regulations for your deer permit area, including how to register deer and how harvested deer must be handled and transported in certain areas to help prevent the spread

of disease. 4. Know where you will have your deer. If you plan to use a meat processor, contact them ahead of time to be sure they’re accepting whole deer from hunters this year. If you plan to butcher your own deer, you must properly dispose of the carcass (head and spinal column). We have videos to help you process your own deer and assist those hunting in a CWD control or management zone. 5. Be safe. Practice the four tenets of firearms safety, know how to set up and use the tree stand safely, wear a safety harness and wear blaze clothing.

BUSINESS BRIEF Xcel Energy commits to net-zero carbon goal by 2050 Xcel Energy has announced that it is aiming to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from its natural gas business by 2050. In 2020, Xcel Energy pledged to power 1.5 million electric vehicles in its service area by 2030. Xcel Energy is now committing to deliver net-zero gas service by 2050, with a goal to cut emissions by 25% by 2030. Under its clean energy

vision for natural gas, Xcel Energy will accelerate its plans for reducing methane emissions, including purchasing natural gas only from suppliers with certified low emissions and continuing to improve its natural gas delivery system to achieve net-zero methane emissions by 2030. The company also plans to offer customers new and expanded programs to reduce carbon emissions from their own natural gas use.

Through its clean energy initiatives and emissions reduction targets, Xcel Energy expects to reduce nearly 80 million tons of carbon by 2030, equivalent to the carbon removed by nearly 1.2 billion trees. The company is more than halfway to that goal, having reduced carbon emissions by more than 40 million tons since 2005.

Lino Lakes Public Safety to offer snowmobile safety course

Raleigh to introduce school board disclosure bill to protect parental privacy

Officers of the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department will be conducting a DNR Youth Snowmobile Certification course again this year. This course is being offered to youth, ages 11-15 (certification becomes valid at age 12). This training course is at an introductory level, designed to help the snowmobile rider become familiar with laws and safety information related to snowmobile operation. Participants who successfully complete this course will be eligible for certification through the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The certification course takes place in two sessions. One introductory, in-person, classroom session with a requirement to complete online training at home, then one additional in-person session for the driving test. The first session will be held from 6-7 p.m. Thrusday, Dec. 2 at the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department, 640 Town Center Parkway). During this session, the instructors will distribute the course materials, discuss the course outline and answer related questions. Parents/guardians are encouraged to attend. The driving test is scheduled for Saturday, Dec.18" from 8 a.m. to noon on Centerville Lake. This date is subject to change based on snow and ice conditions and may rescheduled, if necessary. For additional information regarding the class, or to sign-up, please contact the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department at 651-982-2323.

Rep. Donald Raleigh (R-Circle Pines) has announced that he plans to introduce legislation to protect the privacy of those who appear and testify at local school board meetings. Currently, many school boards ask individuals to publicly share their home address before testifying. The proposal would prevent school boards from requiring a person to disclose their home address or other contact information before providing testimony at a meeting. “This is a simple bill to make sure that parents engaged in the process of helping shape education policy through their local school boards do not fall victim to some of the despicable intimidation tactics that have been deployed against others around the country,” said Raleigh. “Last session,

As 400,000 hunters prepare for firearm deer hunting season, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) reminds them to plan ahead for the 2021 hunting season. “A safe and enjoyable hunt starts with good preparation. To assist hunters with that preparation, we’ve put a wealth of general and area-specific information on our website,” said DNR Commissioner Sarah Strommen. “We hope these tools contribute to a safe and successful deer season with family and friends.” A successful hunt requires planning no matter which deer permit area hunters are in. All you need is your deer permit area (DPA) number to use the DNR’s online “make a plan” tool (www.dnr.state.mn.us/hunting/deer/makeyour-deer-hunting-plan.html), which provides a comprehensive list of information hunters need to consider before heading to deer camp:

ROOKERY: Consultants propose theme that is ‘unique and authentic’ FROM PAGE 1

near Birch Street and Centerville Road. Morgan mentioned one idea may be to have a portion of each membership go right back into the community, not only for the rec center, but to support the rookery. “The community could give back to the natural habitat and, at the same time, they are able to participate in all of those activities,” he said. Delwiche mentioned the name Rookery would provide options for nicknames, such as the “Rook” or “RAC.” It would also allow for different educational and marketing opportunities as well as options for murals/wall art and opportunities for merchandise. Mayor Rob Rafferty was a little surprised the consultants didn’t bring forward multiple name concepts to the council for consideration, but he said he wasn’t disappointed because he knows of all the “extra efforts” the consultants put into this option. Morgan did explain that other options were explored, such as the Nest Activity Center or Link at Lino Lakes (playing off the Chain of Lakes theme). “Ultimately, we can utilize all aspects of the Nest and the Link with the Rookery, and we felt it was much more unique.” Public Services Director Rick DeGardner added that the Rookery was a “unanimous” number one choice. “We were looking for unique. We all could have come up with the Lino Lakes Rec Center. We wanted something different,” he said. “In the state of Minnesota, there really isn’t another (center) that has

a unique name such as the Rookery. … The Rookery has the most potential.” Council Member Christopher Lyden said the name was missing the “wow” factor. Council Member Tony Cavegn said his initial concern was whether people would understand the name, or if they would “just be scratching their heads.” Delwiche said a little head scratching might be good, as the name can create curiosity.

Council Member Michael Ruhland said the more he thought about the name, the more he liked it. The council also discussed potential partnerships and membership models at the Nov. 1 work session. Ultimately, DeGardner requested the council decide to fully support the project and move forward with a target open date of April 1, or decide to go a different direction. “We have spent the last several months trying to move things forward, and we need to decide at some point,” he said. “Are we going to do this or not?” DeGardner added, “The one thing that is really holding us up is that commitment from the City Council … It’s a pretty complex operation, and we feel like we need to know now where the council is at.” Cavegn said he wasn’t quite ready to fully commit, because he felt like he needed more information. “I have a really hard time making a commitment like this when as a council, we have very little information about these partnerships that we are looking at … I’m all in favor of this facility opening up and opening up as soon as possible, but to make this kind of financial commitment without much information, that I struggle with.” Ruland said he disagreed and felt the council had been given plenty of information. Lyden said, “We don’t have all of the answers and it is a moving target, but kudos to you for having the courage to say April 1 … I’m behind it 100%.” Rafferty and Council Member Dale Stoesz said they support the project 100%. In the end, the council directed city staff to continue working with the rec center committee and consultants. (The council will affirm its support of the rec center with the target opening date of April 1 at its Nov. 8 meeting, after press deadlines.) The consultants will now develop logos, color palettes and slogans. Perhaps those will be the “wow” factor the council is looking for. “If you aren’t wowed then, then we need to take a step back,” DeGardner said.

JON NAMYST (NAMYSTPHOTOGRAPHY.COM) (NAMYSTPHOTOGRAPHYCOM) | CONTRIBUTED

The Centennial Cougars race off the ﬁeld joyously after beating Rosemount 1-0 in the state semiﬁnals on a last-minute goal by Allyson Hamski (6).

Volleyball: Cougars ousted by Blaine, finish 16-11 Bengals (26-4) won 25-14, 25-20, 25-16, led by Natalie Schmitz with 14 kills and Jillian Hanson with four aces.

Cross country: Cougar boys 14th, girls 15th at state The Centennial boys placed 14th and the girls 15th, among 16 teams, in the state Class 3A cross country meet on Saturday at St. Olaf College. Jonathan Pattie, senior, placed 43rd in 16:30 in his third state meet. He took 73rd as a sophomore and 135th as a freshman. The Cougars top five also had junior Charles Bolkcom in 67th (16:49), senior P.J. Marshall 108th (17:15), junior Mike Washburn 142nd (17:48) and senior Aiden Sherer 146th (17:55) among 160 runners. For the girls, junior Emma Magnuson placed 87th (20:10), freshman Kylie Nelson 100th (20:19),

seventh-grader Abby Smith 101st (20:19), senior Lauren Swanson 116th (20:35) and sophomore Julia Zalewski 123rd (20:43) among 160 runners. The Cougar boys placed first and the girls second in Section 7AAA to qualify. Team champions were the Wayzata boys and Edina girls.

the reach of Metz into the back of the net, her fourth goal of the season. “Was that a shot? OK, we’ll say it was a shot,” Huber said. “Any time it finds the back of the net, we’ll take it.” The Cougars had two free kicks late in the game but couldn’t capitalize. “We knew that would be one of our last chances. We were close but we could not finish,” said Ahles, who took one of them.

Cougars 1, Rosemount 0 Allyson Hamski’s blast into the upper corner of the net from about 20 yards out with just 41 seconds left prevented an overtime that seemed inevitable in the Thursday morning semifinals. “The ball popped out (to me). Ahles left the ball for me to take the shot and I knew that was our chance. I put it in top corner,”

said Hamski, a senior midfielder. Rosemount (19-2) had blanked its last 12 opponents and had 18 shutouts in all. Hamski’s goal was just the sixth allowed by the Irish all season. Rosemount goalie Jordan Hecht made a leaping save of a Brooklyn Bordson shot in the 60th minute, then dived to stop a penalty kick by Bordson a minute later. But she could not reach Hamski’s perfectlyplaced shot just under the bar. “You get limited opportunities,” said Hamski, about trying to score against such a strong defensive team. “It felt amazing.” Hecht and Metz each made seven saves. Metz recounted that she stopped one scoring opportunity “with a lucky dive” and another with an outstretched left hand.

The Cougars have plenty of scoring punch, led by Lauren Ahles and Brooklyn Bordson with 14 goals each, Sarah Strating with 12, Tatum Trettel with 10 and Addi Van Zee with nine, but it wasn’t there at state. Their defense — they allowed just 10 goals all year, with Jordan Metz in goal — was stellar as always. This was Centennial’s third finals appearance in eight state tournament trips. They were champs in 2016 and runners-up in 2019. This marked the first year of a three-class system in which they were in 3A rather than 2A. Smith’s goal was an incredible shot, if it was indeed a shot. The junior defender launched from just inside the sideline and lobbed it just over

Allyson Hamski, one of the leaders on the Centennial soccer team but not usually a scorer, came up with two huge goals in the state tournament. The senior midfielder’s shot from 20 yards into the upper corner with 41 seconds left gave the Cougars a 1-0 semifinal win over Rosemount. She also delivered the last goal in a 3-2 shootout quarterfinal win over Wayzata. Hamski, a co-captain and returning all-conference player, made the all-tournament team for the state runners-up. “Ally isn’t afraid to put the team on her shoulders,” said coach Christa Carlson. “She is the epitome of what we want to see as a captain.” Hamski has committed to play for Augustana (South Dakota).

FIN, FUR, FEATHER

Hunter returns to woods after injury, harvests multiple deer North metro resident Kelly O’Connell had the goal of returning to the woods this fall. On Sept. 24, O’Connell fell from a tree stand resulting in a shattered tibial plateau, fractured femur, and a fractured/displaced rib. After two surgeries and several days in the hospital, she returned home, but couldn’t put any weight on her left leg. Thanks to a lot of physical therapy, she was ready to return to the woods this fall despite still using crutches. Hugo resident Chuck Haas, former

On Oct. 30, O’Connell successfully harvested a deer with a bow. On opening day of the fi rearm season, she also was able to blindly grunt a 10-point buck within 30 yards and notched her buck tag.

Football: Cougars can’t hold leads, are ousted by STMA 38-35 BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR

In a wild, back-and-forth battle graced by numerous big plays by each side, it was an unforced error that led to Centennial’s undoing in a 38-35 playoff loss to St. Michael-Albertville (STMA) on Friday night. “Too many mistakes in the second half to win a game like that,” said coach Mike Diggins The Cougars led 28-7 late in a mistake-free first half, then fell behind 31-28, then regained a 35-31 lead on a 46-yard touchdown by Lance Nielsen Jr. with 8:33 left. The Cougar defense, otherwise torched by the Knights throughout the second half, stopped a quarterback sneak on fourth down and less than a yard, at the Knight 32, with 6:40 left. The defenders bounded off the field jubilantly. They had turned the ball over to the offense, which already had generated five touchdowns, with a very short field and a great chance to put the game away.

Lance Nielsen Jr. nears the goal line with a 55-yard touchdown on Centennial’s first play from scrimmage. He added a 46-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.

However, on the first play, quarterback Daylen Cummings’ pitchout to Lance Liu hit the thousand-yard fullback in his back in an apparent miscommunication. STMA recovered. “I thought that (stop) would do it. Then we made another mistake,” Diggins said. “But one play does not lose a football game.” The Knights gratefully took advantage of the huge break by marching to the go-ahead touchdown. Jarrett Bennett dashed the last four yards for a 38-35 lead with 1:36 left. Centennial picked up two first downs but Bennett’s interception at the 10 on a fourth-down pass ended the game.

The second-round loss in the Class 6A playoffs finished the Cougars season with a 5-5 record against “the toughest schedule of any team in the state,” Diggins said. Two losses came against STMA (6-4), both after leading by two touchdowns. They lost 19-16 earlier. Bennett carried 20 times for 127 yards and four touchdowns for the Knights. Max Keefer carried 19 times for 107 yards. Quarterback Owen Neros completed 13 of 20 passes for 151 yards. Riley Purcell caught six for 71 yards and a touchdown. Centennial stormed ahead 28-7 in the first half. They gave up a touchdown on the opening drive (Bennett’s 32-yard run) but quickly pulled even in just two plays — a kick return by Will Quick to the 44 and Nielsen’s 56-yard run. Cummings hit Chase Granzow for a 19-yard touchdown and Dan O’Neill ran 26 yards for another touchdown before the quarter ended for a 21-7 lead. Eli Nowacki booted four touchbacks and three extra points in the quarter. O’Neill’s 37-yard gainer in the second quarter set up Liu’s one-yard touchdown for a 28-7 lead. “It didn’t feel safe at all,” Diggins said. “We knew they were going to push back and whoever had the wind (at their backs) had a huge advantage.” The Knights recovered for a last-minute touchdown drive, capped by Neros’ six-yard touchdown toss to Purcell with six seconds left in the half. Centennial, on the opening drive of the second half, drove to the Knights’ 35, but the Knights shook loose a fumble by Nielsen. Neros immediately hit Purcell for a 37-yard gain and the Knights were unstoppable the rest of the game except for that one fourth-down sneak. Bennett’s 23-yard touchdown, Purcell’s 27-yard field goal, and Bennett’s 12-yard touchdown gave them a 31-28 lead, setting up the last two lead changes. Nielsen gained 106 yards in just three carries with two touchdowns and recovered a fumble that set up another. O’Neill gained 82 yards in 13 carries, and Liu 51 yards in 14 carries. Cummings completed three of 10 passes for 27 yards.

WALL OF HONOR: Revealed just in time for Veterans Day Both Space and Ellis were surprised to learn about Lino Lakes Assisted Living’s efforts to create a Wall of Honor, because they learned about it when Press Publications reached out to them. One resident said the Wall of Honor will allow residents “to learn about the people that live here.”

asking each of their veterans more about the branch they served in and their years of service. Taber enjoyed hearing all of the veterans’ stories. One interaction with a veteran particularly struck her. “I was talking to one of the veterans, and I said, ‘We are going to put you on the Wall of Honor.’ “He said, ‘I don't deserve to be on anybody's wall.’ “And I said, ‘Did you wear a uniform? Did you serve our country? Do you believe in the American flag? If yes, then you do belong on the wall.’ And tears just started flowing down his face.” Currently, the wall has 13 veterans, but more will continue to be added as new veterans move into the building. The wall lists each resident’s name, branch served and their years of service. It has both current photographs of the veterans as well as some old photographs that

Veterans Day 2021: Did you know, where to go BY CORINNE STREMMEL STAFF WRITER

BY THE NUMBERS

Veterans Day, previously known as Armistice Day, as it was fi rst called on Nov. 11, 1919, marked the fi rst anniversary of the end of World War I, which at the time was referred to as the Great War. But the holiday didn’t begin back in 1919; in fact, establishing Veterans Day as we know it today comes with some important dates in history. Congress fi rst passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance on Nov. 11, but it wasn’t until 1938 that Veterans Day became a national holiday. The holiday got a revamp in 1954 when President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially changed the holiday’s name from Armistice Day to Veterans Day. When the Uniform Holidays Bill was passed by Congress in 1968, Veterans Day was briefly moved to the fourth Monday in October when the law went into effect in 1971. But in 1975, President General Ford returned the holiday to Nov. 11 due to the significance of the date. Today, Veterans Day commemorates all veterans, living or dead — whether they served during war or peacetime.

Donald Ellis, 88, is another veteran featured on the wall. He served from 1953 to 1955 in the U.S. Army. He was drafted and sent to West Point to be a facilitator. (A facilitator was the second person in charge of checking on area post offices.)

Weather tidbits Brought to you by WeathermanWatson.com Remembering back a year ago, we had a 7-day run of temperatures with 5 days in the 70's and 2 in the 60's. While our recent run of temperatures didn't quite compare to last year, I'll take what we had this weekend anytime (highs in the 60's) for this time of year. Some fall color is still lingering and the ﬁne weather made it great to be outside. Like all good things, they come to an end. We're expected to get our ﬁrst taste of winter-like weather and temperature late this week. Nothing major, just enough to remind us what season we're heading into.

Frank Watson is a local Meteorologist who operates a weather station in White Bear Lake. Weather data and observation are from his weather station and trips around the area. Frank can be found on the internet at WeathermanWatson.com.

music is always pretty interesting in that there are always a lot of colors, and that affects what I experience visually. I really love alt indie music; the more instruments and weirder the instruments, the better.” Kraning was married to her husband, Jackson, for a year before she discovered he also had a rare form of synesthesia—the ability to taste words. There are more than 80 identified forms of synesthesia, where senses are neurologically cross-wired. Jackson’s form is called lexical-gustatory synesthesia. “I had never heard of his type of synesthesia; I thought he was pranking me at first,” Kraning said. “It’s been a really interesting way to bond with this person I was already married to.” Jackson has also taken on a starring role on Kraning’s TikTok account, responding to requests of what certain names and words taste like to him. Kraning mentioned that nearly 25% of popular musicians have auditory-visual synesthesia, including Lorde, Billie Eilish and Kanye West. Some scientists theorize that the reason so many synesthetes are drawn to artistic careers is because of their intense aesthetic sensitivity. TikTok has allowed Kraning not only the ability to draw on her

background in art and neuroscience, but to work with musicians and creators around the world. Her artwork has attracted the attention of many musicians, including an Australian singer named Elizabeth Riordan, who has commissioned Kraning to paint the cover for her next album. She’s also been requested to create artwork for the composers of a musical adaptation of the Netflix
