Lions brighten holidays for veterans and homeless BY SARAH KNIEFF CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Cards, kits and Lions, oh my! The Shoreview/Arden Hills Lions Club met at Shore 96 on Tuesday, Nov. 13, to collaborate on two projects for this holiday season. Judy Zewers, president of the Shoreview/ Arden Hills Lions Club, explained that it was “an in-house service night where we are doing a couple of different service projects to help out the community.” The first project the club worked on was for
Stepping Stone Emergency Housing in Blaine, a nonprofit organization that serves as a homeless shelter for youth and adults in Anoka County. Volunteers helped gather and pack personal hygiene materials to make kits for those in need. “We asked some hotels in the area to sponsor, and they donated some of their items and we hope to have quite a few items to help out (this holiday season),” Martha Johnson, club vice president, noted. Local sponsors include: HealthPartners Dental, NorthView Dental, Country Inn, Hilton

Legion honors Army veteran during special ceremony BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
American Legion Post 566 in Lino Lakes held a special ceremony to honor veterans on Sunday, Nov. 11. One of the main honorees of the ceremony was Thomas Albert Potthoff. Lt. Colonel Sean Gustafson (ret.) thanked everyone for attending the ceremony on the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I and shared Potthoff's story. Potthoff was born in Hot Springs, Arkansas, but his family moved to Circle Pines in 1953. Tom's brother Michael Potthoff, a former Circle Pines police officer and firefighter, attended the ceremony. Potthoff graduated from Centennial High School in 1965. After graduation, he worked on a local tree farm for a while, but as things began to heat up in southeast Asia, he felt the call to serve the nation and he enlisted in the U.S. Army as an infantryman in June 1966. In December, following training completion, Pvt. Potthoff was deployed to Vietnam. On May 26, 1967, his unit came under indirect fire and Pothoff was severely wounded in the chest and
stomach. The initial triage team did not believe he would survive his horrific wounds, but emergency surgery in Vietnam and more extensive surgeries in Tokyo helped him pull through. He was ultimately stationed at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Aurora, Colorado, where he recuperated until being medically discharged from the Army in March 1968. In January 1969, despite not being fully healed, Potthoff was allowed to rejoin the Army and returned to Vietnam. He was assigned to C Company, 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment (the Braves), of the 4th Infantry Division and stationed in northern Pleiku Province. On May 29, while on a reconnaissance patrol in support of Operation Greene Gallop, his platoon came under enemy sniper fire and Spc. Potthoff succumbed to mortal wounds. A rarity at the time, members of Potthoff's platoon were permitted to escort his body all the way home to Circle Pines, and he was buried with full military honors in the Field of Honor at Morningside Memorial Gardens in Coon Rapids. “We are so proud of him, and all our veterans. We are so grateful for their sacrifice. We are so eternally thankful to their families and friends. Never forget. May God bless our fallen heroes and their loved ones. May He bless all of you. And may He forever bless these United States of America,” Gustafson said, closing the ceremony. SUBMITTED

4 ways to help prepare your home for winter Winter is on its way, and for much of the country that means freezing temperatures, wind, snow, ice and heavy jackets. Preparing your home now for the colder months ahead is vital. The following tips are designed to help get you and your home ready for what winter has in store:
Buy a roof rake to eliminate snow buildup If you expect a lot of snow this winter, invest in a roof rake. As snow packs down from multiple storms, it could cause a roof collapse — a roof rake can help you easily clear snow off your roof and protect your home during those blizzard months. A recent national survey by Owens Corning Roofing found that although 79 percent of Minneapolis homeowners said that damage to their roof would be stressful or very stressful, only 7 percent say they always check or have their roofs checked before the start of a season that typically brings bad weather.
Invest in weatherstripping If you can run your hand around the edges of an outside-facing door on a cold day and feel the flow of cool air, you have an airflow problem, one that could cost you a lot of money over the course of the winter. Weatherstripping is a good way to help seal warm air in and cold air out of your home. Available in almost any hardware store, weatherstripping installs quickly around windows and doors and can help prevent air leaks. Before winter arrives, check your windows, doors, vents and fans, plumbing areas, air conditioners and any electrical/gas lines for leaks or drafts to save yourself energy and heating costs.
Evaluate your roof to prevent ice dams In cold weather, heat escaping your home can melt and refreeze ice and snow on your roof, leading to ice dams. Evaluate your roof in advance of harsh winter weather to prevent ice damming. An ice dam in your gutter can cause water to seep into and saturate an interior wall. These block off drains, and let water and ice continually build up on your roof — and

possibly under it — weakening your roof and putting your home at risk. If you’re unsure of what to look for, see if a roofing professional can evaluate your roof for ice dams while cleaning your gutters. To help prevent ice dams, make sure your attic is well insulated and ventilated. Insulate the attic floor well to minimize the amount of heat rising through the attic from within the house. If your attic wasn’t built with a ventilation system, contact a trusted local professional or contractor about ventilating your attic before winter.
A frozen water pipe can burst and flood your house or basement. Help protect your pipes from freezing in bitter cold weather by making sure you don’t turn the heat down too much when you’re out of the house. You may not be there to enjoy it, but your pipes need the heat to prevent freezing. Give your home a once-over for any exposed or vulnerable piping and wrap them with insulation. Hardware stores usually carry foam rubber or fiberglass sleeves for pipes, which are easy to install. If your pipes do freeze, and water stops flowing from faucets, call a plumber immediately.

Snowbirds in Florida
M
idwest folks of retirement age head south beginning in October as do waterfowl and other species with wings. Florida, Arizona, Texas, California and New Mexico are the major destinations. Kathy and I spend most of November at Ft. Myers, Florida aboard Front Page. We reunite with so many friends at Legacy Harbour, it is similar to coming home. Several of the men enjoy morning coffee at the marina office veranda. Topics range from boating problems, economy and the absurdity of Florida ballot counting rules and procedures. This group is as much divided on politics as is the country. The “B Dock” group enjoys converAbout the sation most days, weather permitTown ting, at “Docktails”. They also find opportunities for potlucks, dinners Gene Johnson out and social events, such as observing sandcastle building at Ft. Myers Beach or attending a theatre production. FORTUNATELY THE ELECTION is over, or is it? It seems like campaigning has begun for 2020. The many women elected to Congress may bring a moderate approach to the country’s problems and bi-partisan support will be gained. On the other hand a divided Congress may stalemate, pleasing Wall Street. Seniors are struggling to understand Medicare health insurance supplements with the approaching Dec. 7 deadline. Legal immigration vs. asylum rulings are facing the caravan of people at the border and the courts are testing the options. Why do these people want to come to the United States? Jobs, freedom, safety and dreams of a better life are all reasons. THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY was a great reminder of what this country is all about. A Constitution that still works after 200 years is amazing. Can you name the five freedoms guaranteed in the First Amendment? Maybe this would be a good topic for a family dinner discussion. James Madison wrote 17 amendments to the Constitution before he whittled it down to 10. In November, a publisher friend, Larry Atkinson of Mobridge, South Dakota, and I attended a First Amendment Festival at Florida Gulf Coast University. This was timely after our president called the liberal media an “enemy of the people.” Add to this the Saudi killing of the American journalist Kamal Khashoggi in Turkey. One Festival session was on “Fact or Fake?” We now have a fake news invasion and that suggests social media is not social but may be becoming harmful. Misinformation is stubborn. Studies prove we focus on what we want to see or what we agree with. We need to understand algorithms and realize if we use Facebook, we are labeled. Thus we are kept in our comfort zones with internet information. We need to learn to read across the aisle, understand what is opinion and what is not. We need to remember that journalism is essential to a democracy. WE SPENT THANKSGIVING in Ocala, Florida, with my niece Cynthia, husband, Steve and son, Jonathan. Also joining in were two nephews and their spouses who were originally from Clinton, Wisconsin. Family is important and the relationships need regular nourishment. Many families are faced with separation due to military service, deaths, job location economic limitations and impaired relationships. As families grow and expand, it gets more difficult to bring them together. We bring most of our family together the first Saturday of December for the Bethel University Festival of Christmas Concert and Smorgasbord. Enjoy the Christmas celebration of the birth of Jesus and recognize the purpose of God sending His Son to earth 2,000 years ago so each of us has the opportunity to choose eternal life.

Your legal rights: Financial powers of attorney
I
t is usually best for people to make their own decisions on matters that significantly affect their lives. In some cases, however, people become unable to do so because of health or cognitive impairments. In these situations, it is important for people to have someone they trust who can make decisions for them. Establishing a power of attorney may be something to consider. What is a financial power of Movers & attorney? A financial power Shakers of attorney is a docthat gives Lori Swanson ument someone permission to act on another person’s behalf. When a person creates a power of attorney, they are considered the “principal.” The individual to whom they give this permission is called their “agent” or “attorney-in-fact.” This individual does not need to be an attorney, but should be someone the person greatly trusts. There has been an uptick in recent years of financial fraud by agents who abuse the authority granted to them under a power of attorney. The person selected as the agent should be responsible, honest, and diligent. When establishing a power of attorney, a person must decide how much authority they want their agent to have over their affairs. A general power of attorney gives an agent the ability to act on a person’s behalf in all of their affairs, while a
limited power of attorney grants an agent this authority only in specific situations. A person may also choose to make their power of attorney “durable,” which means it stays in place even if the person becomes incompetent or incapacitated. A principal can also revoke a power of attorney. For example, somebody facing surgery may complete a power of attorney on a temporary basis, but then revoke it once they are healed and out of the hospital. When should I use a power of attorney? A power of attorney may be a good idea for people who are unable or who may become unable in the future to manage their financial affairs or make other decisions for themselves. Examples of powers people can give to their agent are: • To use a person’s assets to pay their everyday living expenses. To manage benefits from Social Security, Medicare, or other government programs. • To handle transactions with their bank and other financial institutions. • To file and pay a person’s taxes. • To manage a person’s retirement accounts. How do I create a power of attorney? A power of attorney must be in writing, signed in front of a notary, dated, and clear on what powers are being granted. If a person wishes to make the power of attorney durable (i.e., to last even if they become incapacitated), they must include a statement such as: “This power of attorney shall not be affected
by incapacity or incompetence of the principal.” It is not necessary to have a lawyer prepare a power of attorney, but consulting with one can help ensure that the power of attorney is constructed in a way that aligns with the person’s wishes. When does a power of attorney end? A mentally competent person can remove a power of attorney at any time with a signed document. If a power of attorney is not removed, it ends with a person’s death. Where can I get a sample form? A statutory power of attorney short form is available on the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office website at: www.ag.state.mn.us/ Consumer/Handbooks/Probate/ PowerOfAtty.pdf. This form is prepared according to statutory requirements. It allows a person to create a power of attorney, choose which powers they wish to delegate to their agent, and identify whether or not the power of attorney will be durable. Before completing the form, the principal and agent should carefully read all pages of the form, including the instructions at the top of the first page. In addition, some banks and financial companies have their own power of attorney forms. Preparing additional, organization-specific forms may make it easier for an agent to work with certain organizations with which the principal does business. Lori Swanson is Minnesota’s attorney general.

When the sunshine leaves for winter, don’t let it take your Vitamin D
rom October to March, Minnesota residents wistfully crave the sunlight while dreaming of those distant, bright summer days. During the winter months, we are missing many of the sun’s benefits beyond warm temperatures – vitamin D being one. In fact, vitamin D is one of the most prevalent nutrient deficiencies in the U.S. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), over 40 percent of U.S. adults are deficient in vitamin D. When our skin is exposed to direct sunlight, vitamin D is synthesized in the body and hence, termed “The Sunshine Vitamin.� We can also receive vitamin D Movers and through food sources in our diet. Both routes yield vitamin D, which Shakers serves many important functions for our health. Originally, vitamin Kate Watkins D was only recognized for building and maintaining strong bones. T d Today, research has revealed even more benefits, such as defending against chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and some cancers. Vitamin D may also have a role in boosting immunity and mood – pesky winter colds and seasonal depression sound familiar, anyone? Although the sun is our ultimate source of vitamin D, many people cannot rely on sunlight for
CHURCH BRIEF
adequate levels. Physical barriers like sunscreen, clothing, windows, clouds or geographical latitude all block exposure to direct sunlight and, therefore, block vitamin D production. Especially during the winter, the sun is at too low of an angle for our skin cells to properly absorb the light rays needed for its synthesis. Further, some individuals are at a higher risk for vitamin D deficiency including those with darker skin tones, older adults, and breastfed infants. Considering all of these obstacles, it is clear why vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent and a leading public health concern. During the summertime when the sun is at a higher angle, most of us can meet our vitamin D needs through 5-30 minutes of unprotected, direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at least twice a week. However, it is important to note that no research studies have determined whether sunsourced vitamin D synthesis can occur without increasing our risk of skin cancer. For this reason, the safest plan is always to protect our skin from the sun while getting our vitamin D through food or supplements. Vitamin D is not naturally found in many food sources, but is sometimes fortified. See the table and check nutrition facts labels in your home for vitamin D content. For those who do not regularly consume these foods and have limited sun exposure, a supplement may be the best option.
SUBMITTED
Consult your physician for an appropriate dose because taking too much can also harm your health. Considering the availability of food and supplement sources, we can embrace another Minnesota winter with vitamin D on our side to protect our bones from icy sidewalk falls, to fi ght the flu season and to keep our moods bright.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEF Fatal accent on Holly Drive
Estate planning and more Our Savior's Lutheran Church and St. Joseph of the Lakes Catholic Church will jointly host an information session on estate planning, advanced directives and power of attorney from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, Dec. 8 at Our Savior's, 9185 Lexington Ave. NE, Circle Pines. Theresa Johnson, of Elder Law services, will present. To reserve your seat, contact Valerie Berwald at 651-270-8655 or valeriebenedix@gmail.com.
The Lino Lakes Public Safety Department (LLPSD) was dispatched to the 6200 block of Holly Drive at 1:24 p.m. Nov. 14 on report of a two-vehicle crash. A van struck a parked truck and trailer. The driver of the van, a 62-year-old male from Columbia
Heights, died at the scene. No other individuals were involved in the crash. The crash is currently being investigated by the LLPSD and the Anoka County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division, along with the Minnesota State Patrol and the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office.
COMMUNITY BRIEFS Winter hours begin at Rice Creek compost site To accommodate the organics recycling drop-off program, Anoka County’s two compost sites will remain open all year, but with reduced hours in the winter. The two sites, located in Bunker Hills Regional Park in Coon Rapids and Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park in Lino Lakes, will be open Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dec. 1 through March 31. The last day the compost sites will be open on a weekday this season will be Friday, Nov.
30 Extended hours will begin again April 30. 1, weather permitting. The Rice Creek Chain of Lakes compost site is located at 7701 Main St., Lino Lakes.
Bring holiday lights to a drop-off location Recycle right this holiday season. As you deck the halls, you may find a strand or two of holiday lights that no longer work, or maybe you’ve made the switch to LED bulbs and have old strands to get rid of. Bring worn-out holiday lights to a convenient drop-off location. These
items can be recycled recycled, but only at drop dropoff locations. If they are put into curbside recycling bins, holiday lights can get wrapped and tangled around the heavy machinery and equipment at recycling facilities. Like plastic bags that get into a recycling facility, these cause downtime and can be hazardous for workers to try to remove from the machinery. Go to RecycleMinnesota.org for a listing of dropoff locations near you. Visit AnokaCounty. us/recycle for year-round recycling information.

Centennial Middle School takes on fairy tale mashup BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR
Later this week, nearly 50 students at Centennial Middle School (CMS) will tackle multiple wellknown fairy tales to entertain an audience. Wednesday through Saturday, CMS will perform “Trial of the Wicked Witch” by Craig Sodaro. “(Co-Director) Laurie (Tangren) and I read a million plays. This is the one that we both giggled at the most and enjoyed. We thought it was really funny and relatable,” explained Co-Director Kara Mundale. “Everybody, from the littlest person on up to the oldest person, can relate to it.” Tangren and Mundale select a rotation of plays, so if a student performs in all three plays at CMS, they will experience a melodrama, fairy tale and mystery. “Trial of the Wicked Witch” particularly stood out from the rest because of its creative writing. “It is a spoof on the fairy tale witches, but it's a single witch who is on trial for all of her wrong deeds. But, as everyone knows, there is always two sides to every story,” Mundale said. “There are parts of the play where you think the witch is definitely guilty and then there are other times when you think maybe she isn't.” The Wicked Witch is on trial for her crimes in the land of Once Upon a Time. The production features several favorite characters from many fairy tales, including: the Fairy Godmother as the judge, the Three Little Pigs as bailiffs and Jack the Giant Killer as the guard. Witnesses for the prosecution and defense provide a variety of toe-tapping tunes such as a swinging Big Bad Wolf in “The Wolf of Wall Street,” an operatic Rapunzel in “I Love to Sing,” and a rocking Gingerbread Man in “Go, Gingie, Go!” The audience acts as jury in this trial and gets to determine the fate of the Wicked Witch. There are 33 students in the cast and 16 students working behind the scene. This is eighth-grader Sarah Branch's second performance at CMS. She plays the Gingerbread Man. “It is a lot of fun, because I get to run around, with difficulty sometimes. “He is very energized, funny and I like his lines,” she said about her character. Branch recommends the show. “It is really funny. It is a lot of fun to watch and it is not too long. It is very interesting, because it is not something you have heard of, so you don't necessarily know what is going to happen or how it is going to end.” Eighth-grader Pipper Wade plays the Wicked Witch. This is her second performance at CMS. “I am all of the wicked witches from all of the fairy tales put together, so there is a lot I can do with the personality,” Wade said. “I get accused of doing all of these bad things and I know that I have done bad things, but I try to get out of them. “It is a lot of fun to watch all of this craziness happen in a courtroom that you wouldn't normally see in a courtroom.” Eighth-grader Braeden Krieger plays Prince Charming. “He has had a lot of adventures with all of the princesses. He is very charming,” Krieger said about his character. Krieger enjoys the role because of its “over-the-top” nature. “It is fun to stretch that. There is so much you can do with it. There wasn't a lot of guidelines of what I could do, so I had to create my own character with him.” Mundale said this year's production has a great

group of kids who have worked very hard. “Every year when we do this, I always wish we could video record the fi rst run-through and where they end up because the growth, the comfort level that they have and the confidence just grows,” she said. “It is so cool to see, especially at this age because they are so self-conscious of everything; and to get kids to get up on stage and be risk-takers and confident enough to try to make people laugh is just incredible to watch.” Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.

2019 COUNCIL: Centerville certifies 2018 election results FROM PAGE1
Linda Runbeck (R-Lino Lakes) won back her seat as State Representative for District 38A with 1,126 votes, compared to her opponent, Kevin Fogarty (DFL-Centerville) with 855 votes.
The Republican gubernatorial ticket of Jeff Johnson and Donna Bergstrom carried Centerville with 1,048 votes, compared to overall winners, Democrats Tim Walz and Peggy Flanagan with 905 votes. The GOP fared well in Centerville, if not the rest of the state, with John
Howe taking 52.85 percent of the vote for Secretary of State; Pam Myhra taking 51.82 percent of the vote for state auditor and Doug Wardlow taking 54.96 percent of the vote for attorney general. Paar thanked the election judges, city staff and residents for the smooth
election. He also thanked City Council candidate Greg Nohner for “putting his name in and running.” All three candidates for the open seats were very professional during their campaigns, Paar added.
CENTERVILLE TIDBITS The Centerville City Council took the following action at its Nov. 14 meeting: • Heard a presentation from Dorothy Rademacher, chair of the Lino Lakes Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Network, which is a program of the National Guard. Beyond the Yellow Ribbon is made up of people from all walks of life to support military veterans in need and their families. “Last week we removed a tree for a widow and shopped for clothes for a veteran who came in with just the clothes on his back,” Rademacher said. • Mayor Jeff Paar thanked Rademacher for raising council awareness for what he called a great program. "Centerville is a giving community— if anyone needs help, there will be neighbors to step up and help, along with the whole city," he said. To learn more about the Yellow Ribbon, contact Rademacher at 651-3214722.
• Recognized local veterans in attendance at the council meeting: Charles Reinhardt, Tom Wilharber and Council Member Steve King. “We want to know who all the veterans are in town,” City Administrator/ Engineer Mark Statz said. Residents in Centerville are invited to contact City Hall with names of their military veteran family members, so they may also be recognized. Centerville will also be recognized as a Purple Heart City at an upcoming council meeting. • Held a public hearing for delinquent municipal utility, garbage and nuisance/city abatement services bills during the fourth and sixth billing cycles of 2017 and first and third billing cycles of 2018 through November, as allowed by statute. The amounts due will be assessed to parcel identification numbers through the county
property tax statements payable in 2019. • The assessment will be payable over one year, the first installment of which to be paid on or before the first Monday in January 2019 and bear a late payment fee of six percent interest and a certification fee of $50. The exception will be the water lateral fee, which will bear a five percent interest over a 10-year period. Agreements with individual property owners for this service are on file. The delinquent garbage fund bills amount to $36,329, and the delinquent sewer/ water fund bills amount to $36,461. • Conducted the first reading of an amendment to City Code No.88, 2018 fee schedule, Exhibit A, utility fees, charges and other costs. The purpose of the amendment will be to raise the water lateral benefit fee of properties not assessed from $6,500 to $8,000.
• More than one year ago, the council directed staff to implement ways to collect the water lateral benefit fee at the time a home is sold, expanded or undergoing well failure. The city allowed residents to pay off that fee ahead of these occurrences and ahead of the need to raise the fee. A letter was sent to residents inviting them to pay the fee at the lower rate before the city raised the fee on Nov. 1. Now the city is raising the fees to keep pace with inflation and construction costs. • Approved a water lateral charge special assessment
agreement waiver of hearing and appeal for 1767 Peltier Lake Drive and 1369 Mound Tr. • Tabled action on ways to mitigate noise from Alex's Lawn and Turf, LLC at 7087-20th Ave S. and directed the city attorney and city staff to meet with the business owners to work on resolving the noise issues. • Approved liquor and tobacco licenses for 2019, which may include any combination of off-sale liquor, on-sale liquor, Sunday liquor or tobacco. The applicant businesses include: S & B Center
Corp./Kelly's Korner, NS2R Comp./Platinum Liquor, Jaun Jian JJ Barrel, Inc./Liquor Barrel of Centerville, Ameer's Tobacco, Inc. and TD Steffen, Inc./Corner Express. • Tabled approval of an on-sale liquor license and Sunday liquor license for JV Summit Corp./ Southern Rail. The council next meets at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 28, at City Hall, 1880 Main St. Loretta Harding

Once the cards are donated to the Red Cross, they are then sent to Veterans Administrations, overseas and to local families. Lion Emma Frazee said that cards generated in Minnesota are shared with other states if they come up short. “It is kind of funny,” she added, “because Minnesota is so generous that we wind up having more than we need.” Zewers explained, “A lot of the times we will do our service projects out in the community.

“FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD” (PG-13) [SOME SEQUENCES OF FANTASY ACTION.] — After declining to work with his brother (Callum Turner) at the British Ministry of Magic and being asked by a Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry professor (Jude Law) to head to Paris in 1927 to find the alleged son (Erza Miller) of the evil, powerful dark wizard (Johnny Depp) in this entertaining, action-packed, convoluted, 3D, star-dotted (Carmen Ejogo, Kevin Guthrie, Ingvar Eggert Sigurðsson, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Wolf Roth, and Brontis Jodorowsky), 134 minute, J. K. Rowling’s sequel to the 2016 “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” with terrific special effects and wonderful creatures, the magizoologist (Eddie Redmayne) and his Muggle bakery owner friend (Dan Fogler) go to the City of Lights to find two magic-wandwaving sisters (Katherine Waterston and Alison Sudol) and join other people (Zoë Kravitz, William Nadylam, and Claudia Kim) in searching for the necromancer who is bent on gathering followers and ruling humans.

“THE GIRL IN THE SPIDER’S WEB: A NEW DRAGON TATTOO STORY” (R) [VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE, AND SOME SEXUAL CONTENT/NUDITY.] — After a fired nuclear scientist (Stephen Merchant) hires a dragon-tattooed, martialarts-savvy, super computer hacker (Claire Foy) in Stockholm to steal an NSA computer program that can access nuclear guidance codes globally and the Russians (Mikael Persbrandt, et al.) blow up her apartment and steal her valuable laptop in this engaging, action-packed, violent, convoluted, predictable, like-it-or-leave-it, 117-minute thriller based on David Lagercrantz’s 2015 novel, she is helped by a Washington cyber security agent (Lakeith Stanfield), a Swedish journalist (Sverrir Gudnason), and a computer whiz friend (Cameron Britton) when she is caught in a web of “spiders” with duplicitous government officials and her abused, revenge-fueled sister (Sylvia Hoeks) while trying to retrieve the laptop and to save a young, autistic savant (Christopher Convery).
“WIDOWS” (R) [VIOLENCE, LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT, AND SOME SEXUAL CONTENT/NUDITY.] — After their crooked husbands (Liam Neeson, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Jon Bernthal) allegedly end up dead after a heist in Chicago in this gripping, well-acted, twist-filled, violent, wellpaced, unpredictable, star-dotted (Colin Farrell, Jacki Weaver, Garret Dillahunt, Lukas Haas, Carrie Coon, and Matt Walsh), 128-minute Steve McQueen thriller based on Lynda La Plante’s 1983 ITV series, one of the anger-fueled housewives (Viola Davis) recruits two other widows (Michelle Rodriguez and Elizabeth Debicki) and a getaway driver (Cynthia Erivo) to carry out a robbery that her husband had meticulously planned to rob the mayor (Robert Duvall) of $5 million when a ruthless mobster (Brian Tyree Henry), who uses his henchman brother (Daniel Kaluuya) as an enforcer, claims that her husband owed him $2 million and gives her one month to pay up.

WEEKLY AVERAGES
We enjoyed a brief break from run of cold weather and NOV. 28-DEC. 4, 2018 what a better time for it, during Thanksgiving. The “milder” High 30° temperatures on Thursday and Friday, 36º and 48º Low 16° respectively, offered the opportunity to finish up on some yard work. I noticed some folks out on area ponds that have been %Sun 39% frozen over for several weeks. Fishermen ventured off the pier PCP 0.37” by the VFW on White Bear Lake on Sunday, but after drilling a few holes, wandered back as they deemed it unsafe. Large areas of White Bear are still open but that will be changing soon with the colder temperatures. Friend Dorian is hoping the cold with no snow will give him a chance to take the ice boat out; looks promising. Sorry snowmobilers, not your time yet.

Mary LaValle: A supercentenarian BY DEBRA NEUTKENS WHITE BEAR PRESS EDITOR
“Grma Mary” is a special little lady, said Caren Cunningham about her grandmother. Special is certainly a worthy descriptor. Mary LaValle turned 110 on Nov. 17 and is now considered a “supercentenarian.” She lives at Cerenity Care Center – White Bear Lake in a regular room with a roommate, just like
the 80-year-olds. “Mary takes little medication and is doing great,” according to Cunningham, who describes LaValle as “a very kind person who always says 'thank you' when anyone does something for her and is always smiling.” Born Nov. 17, 1908, to German immigrants Joseph and Magdelena Kostuch of White Bear Lake, Mary married Raymond LaValle of Hugo in 1926 at age 18. They had one son, Leonard LaValle, who is Caren's
father. They grew vegetables on their small White Bear Lake farm, which is now part of Tamarack Nature Center. Ray died in 1991; Leonard in 2007. New staff at Cerenity always want to meet Mary, Caren said, probably because they've never seen anyone that old. “She's an inspiration to the family,” said Cunningham, who visits three times a week. “I love her to pieces.”

Art show reproduces and reinterprets classic works of art BY ELIZABETH CALLEN STAFF WRITER
STILLWATER — The River Room at the Art Guild Gallery has been transformed into a 19th-century art salon for the month of November as part of its current show, “Starry Starry Night.” Though Art Guild Gallery plays host to a different gallery show every month, organizers Jane Dierberger and Lou Cunico said that “Starry Starry Night” makes for something out of the ordinary. “We’ve taken it to the next step and made it a full production,” Dierberger said. “We wanted to create a scene and bring in things to make it an experience—not just an art show.” Alongside the artwork, antiques and ornamental furniture also decorate the gallery. Dierberger explained that it’s a means of recreating the look and feel of a European art gallery. “In the 1820s and 1830s in Europe, especially in Paris, they had these salons where all the work of artists was literally stacked up from floor to ceiling. It was very prestigious,” she said. “They would also have ornamental furniture and accouterments, so that’s kind of the vibe that we’re going for here.” All of the work on display is either a reproduction or a reinterpretation of some of an iconic work of art—think Claude Monet’s “Water Lillies” or Marc Chagall’s “Over the Town.” While copying paintings might prompt cries of plagiarism, it’s actually a common practice for artists looking to hone their craft. “As an artist, you are so interested in the things that people have done before you,” Cunico said. “You’re learning from that.” There’s even a proper protocol for copied masterpieces. “When you copy someone’s work brush stroke by brush stroke, you put their name on it,” Dierberger explained. Dierberger’s reproduction of Vincent Van Gogh’s classic painting “Starry Night” is on display in the From a distance, it looks identical to the original, but a closer look shows both her name and Van Gogh’s name in the corner. “You always credit the original artist, so you’re not trying to pull one over on people,” she said. “Starry Starry Night” runs through the end of November at the Art Guild Gallery, 402 Main Street. For hours or more information, call 651-689-0149.

The River Room at the Art Guild Gallery is decorated to look like a European art salon from the 19th century as a part of the “Starry Starry Night” show, which runs until Nov. 30.

Many artists copy other paintings as a means of honing their own skills. The grid method, shown here with a copy of Johannes Vermeer’s “Girl With a Pearl Earring,” helps ensure an accurate reproduction.

CENTENNIAL SCHOOL BOARD NOTES The Centennial School Board took the following action at its Nov.13 meeting: • Recognized students for excellence in the classroom, on the field and in the community, including: ° Seniors Katelyn Espe, Madeline Fidler, Bailey Hoff and Mackenna Stoterau, who were named National Merit Commended Scholars. As Principal Tom Breuning explained, approximately 1.5 million high school students take the PSAT each year. Of those, 50,000 (3 percent) are Commended Scholars. ° Molly Nhean, Emma Pierson and Alexis Lombard, who were crowned Miss Lino Lakes Ambassadors at Blue Heron Days in August. ° Khyah Harper and Olivia Lovick, who were recognized for making the All-State girls soccer team. ° Demetrius Bernardy-Nelson and Matthew Hove for making the All-State boys soccer team, and Chalee Moua, for making the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) All-State tournament team. • Approved a resolution canvassing returns of votes for the school district general election. A total of 23,771 voters of the district voted. • Approved a resolution authorizing the issuance of certificates of election and directing the school district clerk to certify the results of the election to the county auditor and perform other electionrelated duties. • Approved a resolution canvassing the returns of votes for the special election. Ballot question No. 1 passed with 9,739 yes votes and 6,638 no votes, and question No. 2 passed with 9,334 yes votes and 6,981 no votes. Superintendent Brian Dietz said, “Let me start with how grateful I am to all of the people who were involved in this campaign and helping to get this done ... With these two questions, it really puts the pieces in place that we need to address: not only the capital needs with question two, but (it) also gives us some sustainability and adds some things back that we have lost in our last six years of reductions and beyond.” He added, “I think it was validating to see the margin of victory; that's hopefully a positive sign to us that we are doing good things for kids and we will continue to be diligent and make sure we deliver on the promises we have set out in this campaign.” • Approved the consent agenda, which included
Oct. 15 meeting minutes, monthly bills, personnel items, field trips, gifts to the district, 2018-19 materials review committee members, 2018-19 school calendars, 2018-19 youth services officer contract with the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department and a joint powers agreement (JPA) with the Anoka Hennepin School District, which allows the districts to combine their purchasing powers in order to secure favorable terms and conditions on purchases. • Heard a presentation from Director of Curriculum and Instruction Caleb Drexler Booth on the World's Best Workforce 2017-18. The World’s Best Workforce legislation was passed in 2013 to ensure every school district in the state is making strides to increase student performance. Centennial's plan addresses five goals: All children are ready for school; all third-graders can read at grade level; all racial and economic achievement gaps between students are closed; all students are ready for career and college; and all students graduate from high school. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes section 120B.11, a school board must publish an annual report on the previous year’s World’s Best Workforce plan and hold an annual public meeting to review goals, outcomes and strategies. Centennial's plan can be viewed at https://www. isd12.org/academicsactivities/worlds-bestworkforce-district-plan. • Approved a resolution terminating an employee. On Oct. 8, the school board notified an employee that the board was proposing to discharge him effective immediately pursuant to Minnesota Statutes section 122A.40 subdivision 13 for insubordination, willful neglect of duty and failure without justifiable cause to teach without fi rst securing the written release of the school board. • Approved a resolution establishing combined polling places for next year's election. There are no changes from this year. • Held the second reading and approved revisions to various school policies to reflect changes to the Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA) model policies. Executive Director of Teaching and Learning Scott Johnson explained policy 506 dealing with student dress and appearance will be brought to the board at a future date, as some revisions are being made to address concerns previously brought up by school board member Kathryn Timm.
SUBMITTTED
The Centennial School Board recognized Miss Lino Lakes Ambassadors at the Nov. 13 meeting. Pictured (from left): Board Member Ray Culp, Alexis Lombard, Molly Nhean and Emma Pierson and Superintendent Brian Dietz.
• Held the fi rst reading of policy No. 429, addressing employees’ conflicts of interest. Based on the recent Special Education Fiscal Compliance Review conducted by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), the district was noncompliant in providing a written conflict of interest statement to ensure that employees engaged in the award and administration of contracts using special education funds avoid any conflicts of interest, real or apparent. As part of the district's corrective action plan, a policy was drafted that defines who or what constitutes a conflict of interest, procedures for reporting this conflict to MDE and steps for disciplinary actions. The policy was submitted to MDE on Nov. 1 and has been approved. The next school board meeting will be at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 17, in the District Office. There will also be a work session at 5:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 3. Shannon Granholm
CIRCLE PINES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Circle Pines City Council took the following action at its Nov. 13 meeting: • Heard from Mayor Dave Bartholomay, who said he attended a Veterans Day ceremony at Legion Post 566 in Lino Lakes. He also attended a fundraiser for the Centennial Powerpack program, which raised $1,586 (enough for about 634 packs of food). Bartholomay also informed residents that the iron enhanced sand filter project is now underway off Lake Drive. • Councilman Matt Percy inquired about if there were any issues on election day. City Administrator Patrick Antonen explained the county's new iPad system was down for around 15 minutes Tuesday morning, but other than that it went smoothly. Antonen noted that Precinct 1 (north of Lake Drive) had an 80 percent turnout and Precinct 2 (south of Lake Drive) had an 81 percent turnout. • Approved the consent agenda, which included Oct. 23 meeting minutes, a continuation of a contract with Rainbow Tree Care for EAB services and police, fire and general fund disbursements. The agreement with Rainbow Tree Care to provide EAB treatment for city trees and residents' trees ended Oct. 31. Antonen added there are no changes in cost to the city or residents. So far, the company has treated around 28 public trees and around 28 trees upon requests from residents. • Appointed Kate Manson to the finance director position. The position was left vacant Aug. 28 after the city decided to terminate former Finance Director Ronda Dalbec's employment with the city. Antonen explained city staff went through an extensive recruitment process and received 15 applications for the position. The top six candidates were interviewed and the top two were
brought back for second interviews. Munson has worked with the city for over three years and is a Circle Pines resident. She holds a degree in accounting from the University of Minnesota. “The past couple of months, she has been filling in and has really stepped up to the plate,” Antonen said. “She has done a wonderful job and I have the utmost confidence that she will do an excellent job at the position.” Councilwoman Jennifer Rauner said, “I know Kate on a personal level from the fire department; her husband is on the fire department along with mine. I know her and her background. I think she is going to be a great fit. I am excited for her and excited for the city.” Councilman Dean Goldberg said, “I don't know her very well, but I met her when I was running for City Council and she was a huge help to me. She didn't even know me, but she helped me tremendously. I was very impressed by her civic connection to people in the community. I like to promote from within, and I think she will be a rock star in the role.” • Approved pay voucher No. 6 in the amount of $381,226 to R.L. Larson Excavating Inc. for the 2018 full street reconstruction project. Antonen noted the project is 98 percent complete. Remaining work includes some repairs to staging areas near Center Park. He said the contractor will return next spring to finish up warranty work on sod and do necessary repairs. “The project went very well. We are very happy with R.L Larson; this was our first time working with them,” he said. “They have a great communication style and worked closely with residents on their concerns. We would love to work with them on future street projects.”
Goldberg wanted to know whatever happened with the damage that was done to city streets after residents hired a contractor to pave their driveways. Antonen explained staff from WSB & Associates went out to assess the damage. “The main problem was they were sloppy when they put down the driveways. They left a lot of asphalt on the road, when they should have scraped that off. They are coming back
to repair that,” he said. “We have let the contractor know that we are not pleased with their work, and we will be talking to them again when they come back to do work in our city to make sure our roads are treated the way they should be treated.” The next City Council meeting will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11, at City Hall.

PRESCHOOLERS: Receive special visit from Master Gardener FROM PAGE 1
a curriculum called Creative Curriculum. It is broken down into a number of studies that are all about engaging kids, getting them to ask questions (about things) they are interested in learning about.” Holmboe added, “Creative Curriculum is all about engaging kids in deeper learning and deeper thinking. It is very much about getting the kids to ask questions they are interested in, in hopes that they will see that learning can be a lifelong fun thing to do.” The most recent study was, of course, about trees. Guest speaker Betsy Mevissen is an Anoka County master gardener with the University of Minnesota Extension. This is her third year in that role. Mevissen quickly agreed to visit the classrooms, as she used to be a preschool teacher and “found the opportunity to be a fun privilege.” Her full-time job is as a survivors advocate for Alexandra House. She has presented to schools where students wish to start their own gardens and has also helped students at the juvenile detention center grow vegetables for their garden and plant sale. “I love teaching opportunities, especially with young learners, because they are so excited to share knowledge and experiences and try new ones. Engaging people about nature and growing gardens, especially for nutritious food, is a passion of mine, so that joy is easy to catch and explore in a classroom setting,” she said. “It's very important that all people recognize and appreciate the art and science of natural processes and how interconnected we are with them. These students are inquisitive and learn with all their senses, which is especially fun.” Mevissen made sure to take frequent “stretch breaks” so the children could stay focused. During each of the breaks, the children stood up and put their bodies into tree-like positions, such as the yoga tree and eagle poses. The sessions ended with story time, when Mevissen read the popular book, “The Giving Tree.” For each study, Holmboe said Early Childhood tries to bring in at least one guest speaker to share on the topic. “It is always fun when you get a new face in the classroom,” she said, adding if community members would like to visit to present on a subject they are an expert on or passionate about, they should reach out to Early Childhood at 763-792-6120.
