‘BECOMING MEMORIES’: Tribute to longtime theater director PAGE 20

Mock crash illustrates that tragedy ‘does not discriminate’

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

In a scenario that felt all too real, Centennial High School (CHS) juniors and seniors found out what it would be like to lose one of their own in a simulated mock crash.

Arrive Alive, which began in 2009, challenges students to think about distracted driving, the responsibility of making mature decisions, and the consequences of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

In an effort to make an impact right before prom, the two-day event was held April 23-24. At the end of

the program, CHS Principal Tom Breuning told the students, “You have seen with this program how drinking and driving and distracted driving can affect your life, your family, friends, the community. If and when you are in that decisionmaking situation, what will you do?”

As the program began, the Grim Reaper appeared in classrooms and pulled students out of class who later die in the crash. During the simulation, a 911 call triggers an emergency response from law enforcement including police officers, fi refighters, paramedics and a medical helicopter.

After the staged crash, which was caused by a combination of impaired and distracted driving, paramedics treated several injured students.

A seriously injured student who was struck by a drunk driver while crossing the road was transported to the hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital. A second student died on scene after being thrown through a windshield following a head-on collision caused SHANNON GRANHOLM | PRESS PUBLICATIONS by a driver who was distracted by Centennial High School Senior Ella Ruble gets a cell phone. The third student was checked out by an Allina Health paramedic after a arrested for drunk driving and SEE ARRIVE ALIVE, PAGE 12

CIRCLE PINES — At its April 23 meeting, the City Council learned more about what lies ahead for the next three years for the I-35W corridor.

MnDOT Construction Engineer Dan Penn and Engagement and Communications Manager Bre Grand addressed council members concerning the I-35W improvements, which began earlier this month and will continue through 2021.

“I have been working on this project since I became mayor 13 1/2 years ago now, and it is so exciting to fi nally have it come to fruition. There is certainly going to be some inconvenience, but it is going to be a great project,” said Mayor Dave Bartholomay.

The project, which runs from County Road C in Roseville to Sunset Avenue on the border between Blaine and Lino Lakes, will include concrete repairs, repairs/reconstruction of bridges and mobility improvements such as the addition of auxiliary and MnPASS lanes. “We are out there to repair the aging infrastructure and to improve mobility,” Penn explained.

One of the improvements includes a concrete overlay over the 12-mile stretch. Penn explained that currently, there is about 8 or 9 inches of concrete pavement with about 4 inches of bituminous overlay. A third layer of concrete will be placed over the existing layers, which will raise the profile of the road up about 7 or 8 inches.

LINO LAKES CITY COUNCIL NOTES The Lino Lakes City Council took the following action at its April 22 meeting: • Appointed Tracy Thoma to the vacant accountant position in the finance department effective April 29.

The position was left vacant after former accountant Paula Schloer retired at the beginning of April.

Thoma has worked with the city since 2012 as the accounts payable/payroll technician.

• Held the second reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 208 of City Code. The first reading was approved in March. The amendment incorporates the city’s fire services into the public safety department by including cross-trained police officers/firefighters and firefighters in the ordinance. City Administrator Jeff Karlson explained another significant change is that future changes to the ordinance will not become effective until 180 days after the ordinance is published. The ordinance was adopted.

• Accepted a $250 donation from the Centerville Lions Club to the city's K-9 Unit.

Former Centerville mayor and current Lions Club treasurer Tom Wilharber said, “We realize how important the K-9 is. I know we used the K-9 a number of times in Centerville when I was the mayor, so we appreciate all of the efforts by them.”

Mayor Jeff Reinert thanked Wilharber for his 38 years of service to the city of Centerville and for the Lions’ donation.

• Approved the second reading of an ordinance rezoning property from general business (GB) to planned unit development (PUD) and approved a PUD development stage plan/preliminary plat.

The applicant, Lyngblomsten, has submitted a land use application for rezoning for the development of a senior living community, future restaurant and commercial building located in the northwest quadrant of Hodgson Road and County Road J. Per the proposed 2040 Comprehensive Plan, the site is guided Signature Gateway. The parcels would be rezoned to PUD in order to implement the master plan for the corner, which covers approximately 60 acres of land on both the west and east sides of Hodgson Road. It assumed that approximately half of the 60-acre area would develop with residential uses at approximately 10 units per acre overall. The Comp Plan identifies a density range from 8 to 15 units per acre for the Mixed Use District portion.

The ordinance was approved.

• Approved the planned unit development (PUD) final plan/final plat and a development agreement and PUD agreement for Eastside Villas. The proposed residential subdivision consists of 32 single-family lots located east of the NorthPointe development and west of I-35E. It contains one parcel totaling approximately 10 gross acres. The applicant, Hokanson Construction & Development Co., is proposing single-level, slab-on-grade villa units of 1,450-plus square feet located on 50-foot-wide lots.

The development is a continuation of the existing NorthPointe 6th Addition.

• Approved a resolution to participate in Anoka County's Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs for 2020-2023. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is the federal government’s primary program for promoting community revitalization. CDBG provides annual grants on a formula basis to Anoka County.

The HOME Investment Partnerships program provides formula grants to localities to fund a

wide range of activities, including building, buying and/or rehabilitating affordable housing for rent or homeownership or providing direct rental assistance to low-income people.

The city is currently a participant in the county’s program. CDBG and HOME funds have previously been used in the city for the Vicky Lane sanitary sewer improvements, Lakewood apartment building and the YMCA Teen Center. There are no additional costs to the city to participate in the county’s program.

• Approved a resolution affirming Ordinance No. 21-95 approving a prior land sale to UDOR USA Inc. UDOR USA constructed a building in the Apollo Business Park in 1994. Following construction of the facility, USDOR USA needed to acquire an additional 10 feet to improve delivery vehicle maneuvering. The

city, as owner of the abutting property, approved a minor subdivision, and passed Ordinance No. 21-95, which approved the sale of the 10 feet to UDOR USA in the amount of $2,995.

Community Development Director Michael Grochala explained recent title work on the site determined that the city still retained ownership of the 10-foot strip, and that city staff were unable to verify that the transaction was completed. UDOR is willing to complete the transaction in accordance with the original approval.

The next City Council meeting will be at 6:30 p.m.

Monday, May 13, at City Hall.

Busy beavers

he beaver lodge on Stocking Lake where my grandparents had a home in Park Rapids was huge. The lodge was the size of a small dump truck partially submerged in the water. As a kid, my grandparents let me take out the 12-foot aluminum boat to go fishing – early on it was a rowboat with oars, and then outfitted with a 6 horsepower Evinrude. Grandpa often fished near the dam because it was a hot spot for crappies. The lodge was a woven pile of sticks. Looking into the crystal clear water you could see how the structure was built branch by branch. Sometimes while fishing the beaver would pop up behind the boat and slap his tail on the water. It would scare the wits out of me. My grandparents Publisher’s told me that it was a signal to other beavers that danger was near.

View Did you know a beaver can weigh an average of 40-50 pounds and Carter Johnson live up to 12 years? They are North America’s largest rodent and can consume hundreds of trees and shrubs in the season to build their lodge and dams. They have lips behind their front teeth so they can swim and carry sticks without swallowing water. Beavers used to play an important role in damming water in lakes and rivers. Years ago, beavers in this region were prized for their pelts and therefore trapped. Today, with population growth and lakeshore property values increasing, beavers are not typically a welcome sight. A few residents on Bald Eagle Lake have invested in wire mesh to wrap the base of the trees to prevent losing them to beavers. Residents report seeing more that six different beavers around the lake. According to the Minnesota DNR site, a beaver can chew through a 6-inch tree in 15 minutes.

Doggie Doo Our dog-loving readers know that dogs get pretty excited to see you when you get home. Then they look at you with puppy-dog eyes and expect you to take them for a walk. This is something dog owners have over cat owners – the walk. I have yet to see anyone walking a cat.

As we walk our Westie along our favorite local trail, many others on the trail are also walking a dog or dogs. It’s fun to see the different breeds and their mannerisms. We try not to leave home without a couple of doggie bags, as our dog usually does her business within the first five minutes, and then sometimes once more. For the most part, dog owners do a good job of cleaning up after their pets, though we have had a few puzzling situations in the last couple of neighborhoods we lived in.

In one community we would sometimes find a filled dog bag in our newly emptied trash can at the end of the driveway or at the base of our mailbox.

There is nothing worse than a dog bag in a hot trash can stinking up your garage. We always wondered if it was a neighbor who didn’t like us, or a disgruntled reader. In our current house, our lot is adjacent to a public walking path. This spring, my son and I picked up at least 40 pounds of trash on the neighboring city-owned property, including dozens of filled green doggie bags – the ones the city provides along the path - that people had tossed into the brush. What is so nice is the city not only provides the bags, but also garbage cans along the way. I don’t like carrying a bag of dog poop for a few blocks until I get to the next garbage can, but it’s part of the deal of walking your dog. Most doggy bags are not biodegradable and someone, whether it’s a neighbor or a city worker, has to pick it up by hand. If you are ever inclined to toss your dog bag into the woods or a ditch, please think again. It’s the same thing as tossing a fast food bag, only grosser.

Everyone has to do their part to keep local parks, trails, walking paths and neighborhoods clear of garbage, which includes picking up after your dog.

Celebrating a changing community “The only person who really likes change is a baby with a wet diaper.” hat old political saying has a lot of truth in it. Folks often say they support change in the abstract, but not so much when it will really impact their life. It might be fear that drives them back to the status quo; it could be that they weren’t involved in the decision-making process; or maybe they want to avoid the shortterm pain that change may cause on the path to a better situation.

But change is indeed inevitable, and as I’ve written before, it Movers & is occurring more often than in the Shakers past.

Fear, and in Dave particular fear Bartholomay of change, can really hold back a person and a community. While it is certainly good to celebrate the history of what has made a community special, there is also a crying need to build on that history in a way that continually improves the quality of life for all residents, old and new. We don’t live in museums – we visit museums to better understand, appreciate and learn from the

T

past. However, we live in a vibrant, always evolving world.

But, you are thinking, much of what is changing is not for the better. Indeed, the increasing scarcity of deep relationships, of knowing your neighbors, the impact of environmental change, and an increasing distrust of organizations meant to serve us – all of this and more drives us to resist change and to become frustrated and disengaged. But here change is, all around us. So, really, what then are our options?

To let our lives get swirled around and dashed upon the rocks by the ever stronger currents of change?

Or to seek a way to bob and weave through the changes, accepting some, adapting to others, while resisting others and vowing to fight to make sure that changes are for the betterment of all people. That is an energizing and uplifting challenge, one done best in community with others.

A changing community can be a wonderful thing. An old decrepit building long out of use and an eyesore can be torn down, prompting an opportunity to be replaced by a new business that seeks to be part of a healthy and prosperous economy. The public library can be remodeled and expanded to meet the changing needs of those thirsty to learn and to be a place to come together as a community.

Public investments can be made in playgrounds, parks and other amenities so that they continue to help the community stay active and connected. And perhaps most importantly, our schools can continually update their buildings and their in-classroom strategies to better prepare our young people to become resilient, life-long learners.

One of the biggest changes in a community involves its people.

Wonderful people who have contributed so much can pass away and our community is a bit lesser. Others can become worn out by work and life and health problems and lose their energy to be a vibrant part of the community. But those changes, painful as they may be, are offset by new energy and ideas from the latest arrivals to our community.

Because change is a continuous process that can’t be avoided.

What if each of us took a moment to perhaps fondly recall the past and what it meant to your life. And then commit yourself to the hard work of creating positive change in your life and the lives of those around you. Because it is by working to become more positive and involved that you will find joy in your life.

Dave Bartholomay is the mayor of Circle Pines.

7 tips for choosing a lawn company this spring

pril showers are about to bring May flowers, and Better Business BureauÂŽ of Minnesota and North Dakota is here to guide consumers who are looking to spruce up their yards by contracting lawn services.

Because lawn care services are seasonal, remembering how to choose a reputable, fairly priced company can be tricky, and scammers masquerading as doorto-door service solicitors don’t make things any easier. When you set out to beautify your lawn, BBB wants you to keep these pointers in mind: Request a lawn inspection and cost estimate Companies that quote a price without actually seeing your lawn can’t be totally sure what your lawn needs.

POLITICAL BRIEF Tri-County DFL Senior Caucus Luncheon Tri-County DFL Senior Caucus will host a luncheon at 12:30 p.m. May 7 at Vannelli’s by the Lake, 55 Lake St. S., Forest Lake. The featured speaker will be Andrew Virden, the director of Census Operations and Engagement for the state of Minnesota. For more information, call Chair Sandy at 651-492-1148 or Secretary/ Treasurer Jackie at 320-290-9540.

Get more than one quote You should always shop around for the best value, and make sure all bids consider the same set of criteria.

Ask for references and photos of previous work Movers & If the company has done landscaping Shakers work nearby, consider Better Business visiting the location to see their work for Bureau yourself. Don’t be afraid to contact and question references – they might tell you something a Google search didn’t.

Get specific about pricing Make sure you’ve clarified in writing whether you’re paying

for a one-time project or ongoing maintenance and the amount and frequency of payments. Hash out other details, for instance: What happens if it rains the day someone is supposed to mow your lawn? Who bags the clippings? Is there an extra charge for that?

Check for company insurance Does the company provide liability and workman’s compensation insurance to protect you if there’s an accident on the job?

Clarify timing and safety precautions Will the work be done while you’re at home or away? If the company is applying pesticides to your lawn, do you need to do anything to protect your family or pets?

Get everything in writing To protect yourself as a consumer, make sure every part of your agreement is written down and contains all promises made and topics discussed. Look for guarantees and refund policies, and get copies of anything you sign, including receipts – and don’t lose them later.

BBB wants consumers to Start With TrustŽ so you are equipped with tools to choose quality companies and have positive experiences in the marketplace. If that isn’t the case, visit bbb.org to fi le a complaint against a specific company or to report a scam.

Karen A. (Korth) Paulson

Karen A. (Korth) Paulson, 74, of Sycamore, Illinois, formerly of Circle Pines, Minnesota, passed away Sunday, April 14, 2019 in Sycamore after a short battle with cancer surrounded by her family.

Karen was born June 17, 1944, in Fairmont, Minnesota, the eldest child of Jacob and Berniece (Celander) Korth. She moved to Illinois with her family in 1948 to a farm in Kingston, Illinois, where they lived for 11 years, and later the family moved to Genoa, Illinois. Karen was a graduate of Genoa-Kingston High School, Class of 1962. Karen was active in 4-H, Girl Scouts and the Girls Athletic Association.

For most of her life she was a proud “Minnesotan� in the Land of 10,000 lakes. Karen lived in

S St. Louis P Park and L Lino Lakes d during her first 15 years b before moving tto Circle P Pines for a approximately 330 years. She m made many v very dear friends who became very much like family to her. While in Circle Pines, she helped organize the annual Easter Egg Hunt near Golden Lake at a local park for the young children of the area.

She was proud of her garden and enjoyed watching the wildlife from her balcony overlooking a small neighborhood pond. She enjoyed snowmobiling and motorcycling trips and various vacations around the USA and Europe with friends

from Minnesota and family members.

Karen was most proud of her membership in the Beta Sigma Phi organization where she became a Pledge in 1964. She was a 55-year member of this sorority mostly in the Minnesota area. She received honors including Order of the Rose, Silver Circle, Preceptor and Exemplar. Karen was also named “Woman of the Year for Outstanding Participation� in 1984.

Karen began working for a short time at the DeKalb-Ogle Telephone Company in Sycamore before moving to Minnesota in 1968 to work at Control Data Corporation in Bloomington, Minnesota and later in Arden Hills, Minnesota, where she earned numerous recognitions for outstanding performance. After many years there and with ETA, she then worked for both Health East and

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

State needs paid family and medical leave policy Minnesota does not have a state family and medical leave policy.

Minnesotans are covered under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). The current policy in Minnesota, the federal FMLA, is unpaid and simply insufficient to meet the needs of Minnesotans. In 2016, only one in seven U.S. civilian workers had access to paid family and medical leave (PFML) as an employee benefit.

Without a guaranteed PFML insurance program in place, we are asking our families in our communities to choose between taking care of loved ones while trying to maintain economic

security. We should be able to work and take care of ourselves while supporting and caring for our families.

On any given year in Minnesota, 24% of paid leave is related to caring for an ill family member, 17% is related to parental leave and 59% is related to personal health. Minnesota workers are less likely to receive paid leave for their own serious health condition or family care than for pregnancy or parental leave.

In 2002, California was the first state to enact paid family and medical leave. Five other states and the District of Columbia have since passed laws providing this benefit. Minnesota needs to enact a guaranteed paid

family and medical leave policy. The benefits to all Minnesotans outweigh the costs; the disparities in access to paid leave are unjust.

I ask for your support in passing S.F. 1060. It will provide so many people the security they need in order to take care of themselves and their families. Please contact your legislator and ask them to support S.F. 1060 to move this bill forward to build up our communities and support our families. PFML may benefit someone you love or know. It may one day benefit you.

Olivia Trettel’s bat sparked two wins.

Olivia Trettel knocked in five runs in one game and scored the decisive run in another as the Centennial softball team stayed unbeaten last week with three conference victories.

In a 2-1 win over Coon Rapids on Thursday, the junior outfielder broke a 1-1 tie in the fifth as she singled, took second on a passed ball and third on a bunt, then sped home when Abby Lohse slap-bunted. Lohse was out at first and finished 2-for-4.

Alyssa Montero threw a four-hitter with nine strikeouts to outduel the Cardinals’ Elly Johnson. CJ Jacobson got the first run as she singled, stole second, took third on a wild pitch and scored on an infield out in the first.

Centennial thumped Park Center 15-1 Wednesday as Trettel, who’s 7-for11 for the season, delivered five RBIs on a double and homer. Madeline Fidler rapped two triples, Madi Newman two doubles and Julia Azure two singles, each with an RBI. Rylie Perkins pitched.

It was a 3-0 week as the Cougars also beat Irondale 10-0 on Tuesday.

Perkins and Newman each belted a two-run homer and Montero tossed a three-hit shutout with seven strikeouts.

I-35W PROJECT: 3-year ‘inconvenience’ begins FROM PAGE 1

SUBMITTED

Construction on I-35W from Sunset Avenue, on the border of Lino Lakes and Blaine, all the way to County Road C in Roseville has begun.

The three-year project will replace concrete, repair/reconstruct bridges and add MnPASS and auxiliary lanes and noise walls.

Many of the bridges were already repaired before the project started, but the bridges at County Road I and County Road C will be reconstructed.

Spot mobility improvements will include the addition of a MnPASS lane in both directions between Lexington Avenue and County Road C and auxiliary lanes between some interchanges if the distance and traffic volumes between ramp terminals warrant it.

Councilman Mike Schweigert wanted to know who can use MnPASS lanes. “MnPASS lanes are open to most traffic most of the time,� Grand said. “They are restricted to solo driving paying customers, or to carpool, motorcycles and transit use during rush hours. The cost changes based on the volume of traffic. If there is a lot of traffic the cost goes up; if not, it goes down.�

In addition, the project will add seven noise walls stretching for just over 4 miles.

2019 will cause the most headaches for motorists, Penn said, because the contractor has committed to completing 40% of the entire project this year and construction will be on the southbound (west) side of I-35W. Construction will start on the south end of the project and work its way north.

At the end of May or beginning of June, Penn explained all motorists will be traveling on the northbound (east) side of the Interstate.

Motorists should expect ramp closures, which can last between 21 and 30 days. Penn explained two consecutive ramps will never be closed at the same time, and the

CHURCH BRIEFS One man’s path to heroin addiction explored

contractor has committed to keeping the ramps open at the I-694 and northern Highway 10 interchange as well as 95th Avenue to southbound I-35W. The County Road C ramp to southbound I-35W as well as the southbound I-35W ramp to County Road I will remain closed until this year's phase of work wraps up in November.

For lane restrictions, traffic will be reduced to two lanes in each direction between Sunset Avenue and Highway 10, three lanes in each direction between Highway 10 and Mounds View Boulevard and two lanes in both directions between Mounds View Boulevard and County Road C. Lane widths will also be narrowed from 12 to 11 feet during the project. After the project, lane widths will remain at 11.5 feet (typically, Interstate lanes are 12 feet).

In 2020, construction will take place in the middle of I-35W, and all of the construction between Sunset Avenue and 95th Avenue will be completed. In 2021, construction will be on the northbound (east) side of I-35W between 95th Avenue in Blaine and County Road C in Roseville.

To sign up for email updates on ramp closures and learn more about the project, visit mndot.gov/ metro/projects/35wnorthmnpass.

During the interview, Romano explains that his downward spiral began with alcohol and grew worse from there.

Circle Pines remains a ‘safe and stable’ community

BY SHANNON GRANHOLM EDITOR

CIRCLE PINES — Despite an uptick in warnings, citations and ordinance violations in 2018, Centennial Police Chief James Coan said the city remains very safe and healthy.

Coan visited the Circle Pines City Council to present the Centennial Lakes Police Department's (CLPD) 2018 annual report.

“I am very happy to report a very safe and healthy state of the city. It is my opinion that safety and stability is of considerable importance to our citizens. People value being safe in their homes, neighborhoods, parks, schools and their overall community, and I believe we have that here in Circle Pines,” he said.

Coan noted even though the numbers are up for warnings, citations and ordinance violations, the statistics can be a bit deceiving because a lot of them stemmed from winter parking restrictions, visits by community service officers to various nuisance properties that can often be repeat offenders, and a focus by the department on several known drug homes.

“Arrests are also up due to our concentration on several homes where drugs were transacted. The fact that there has been an increase in arrests and warnings is actually very explicable and positive in the sense that it reflects that we are focusing on and addressing certain neighborhood problems,” Coan said. “Activity in our annual report refers to a complete range of calls other than crimes such as parking, traffic stops, nuisance properties and complaints.” He added noted that most of what CLPD sees in Circle Pines is property crime, not violent in nature.

Councilman Matt Percy wanted to know more about CLPD's body-worn camera policy and when officers are required to turn them on. Coan said the department recently passed its state-mandated audit for its body cameras with “flying colors.”

“The expectation is that you are going to have the body cam on when you go out into the field and are conducting a traffic stop or handling a complaint. If the officer doesn't have it on in a particular situation, they need to tell the supervisor; that has to be noted in the report and there are consequences if it becomes

a repeat violation,” Coan explained. “I am very confident that our officers are abiding by our policy.

Body cams are fantastic, and I think our officers have come to recognize that as well. Nine times out of 10, it vindicates and exonerates them from any kind of citizen complaint.”

Overall, Coan said Circle Pines should be proud.

“The quality of life here is wonderful ... I think we all share that vested interest in making sure the reputation of this community is that it is a safe, stable community and a good place to work, live and prosper.”

Councilwoman Jennifer Rauner said, “I appreciate

not only a respectful place, but a respectful police department within our community as well. There are so many examples of our officers being in the community that is so fantastic to see ... I am really proud of our police department, because they do a great job of being a part of our community.”

The full annual report will be available on CLPD's website (clpdmn.com) after Coan presents to Centerville and Lexington city leaders.

ARRIVE ALIVE: Illustrates importance of making smart decisions FROM PAGE 1

taken to jail, and the fourth student, who was distracted behind the wheel while on their phone, was also arrested. The simulation ended as the second student was pronounced dead and transported in a hearse.

Senior Nate Schoolmeesters, son of Tom and Kellie Schoolmeesters of Circle Pines, played the role of a drunk student who is struck and killed by a drunk driver while attempting to cross the road. “I was that kid that doesn't know how to control himself when he is drunk,” he said. Nate wanted to participate in the mock crash largely due to a personal connection. Tom’s high school girlfriend was struck and killed by a drunk driver while trying to cross the road. The simulation felt all too real for both Nate and his parents.

“Even though it was staged, there were still real feelings and emotions that we could not control. It was so real,” Tom said. Nate added, “It was real for me, too. They were doing every medical thing you could think of on me, acting like I was actually a patient. It was pretty hard to see my parents experience that, but it was also a good reminder for our family to love each other while we can because stuff like this does happen.”

Both Nate and his parents hope the experience will drive home the message that tragedy can happen to anyone. “You don't think it can happen to you, but it can happen to you, or your best friend, girlfriend, sibling. It happens far too often,” Tom said.

Nate added, “It can happen to anybody and it is not worth that one text, Snapchat, changing the song, being on the phone or drinking.”

Following the day of the crash, students and their families along with the rest of the student body gathered in the auditorium to hear from guest speakers, including Anoka County Attorney Tony Palumbo, Blaine Police Chief Brian Podany and MADD speaker Gina Calistro as well as the parents who lost children in the mock crash.

Podany shared the story about Blaine Police Officer Steve Nanney and his wife Susie, who were riding a motorcycle in June 2016 when they were struck and killed by a 17-year-old driver who was on her cell phone.

“I responded to the scene and before

I even got to them, I saw the truck that had hit them. I could clearly see the truck had come into their lane and it was obvious it hit them head on. As I continued walking through the scene heading to Steve and Susie to be with them one last time, I could see a 17-year-old with her head in her hands, crying. I knew right then that she was the one who had killed them,” he recalled.

“That incident sucked the life out of our department, out of our community. I couldn't believe I was standing there at the scene with Steve who, less than two months prior, had been standing on a stage just like this at Blaine High School doing exactly what we are doing. He worked so hard to try to educate our youth about the dangers of distracted and impaired driving, and here he was killed by the exact same thing.”

Podany shared some stats from Blaine from January 2018 through April 15, 2019. The department has: Executed a total of 13,720 traffic stops resulting in 770 arrests.

Issued close to 5,000 citations, over 11,000 warnings and we have had a total of 357 DUIs. Issued almost 900 distracted driving texting citations.

Noted that texting or distracted driving citations have doubled every year for the last four years.

“Those numbers are staggering, and that is just in Blaine,” he said.

“Drinking and distracted driving can and does destroy lives. In Blaine, we are committed to putting an end to the tragedies that occur as a result of dangerous behaviors.”

Jeff Ramacher, father of mock crash participant Katelyn Ramacher, applauded the school district and law enforcement agencies involved in the event.

“Having worked in law enforcement for over 20 years,” Ramacher said, “I have seen, fi rsthand, the impact that impaired and distracted driving has on families. The visual and emotional impact the Arrive Alive program brings hopefully will deter these students from getting in that car with an impaired driver or picking up that phone to answer a text ... Tragedy can happen to any family. It does not discriminate.”

Senior Mikayla Engebritson (left) played the role of a drunk driver who struck senior Nate Schoolmeesters while he was trying to cross the road and drunk. Senior Ella Ruble (middle) played the role of sober a passenger in the car and senior ShaubYi Yang was a backseat passenger who had been drinking.

An officer officer from the Blaine Police Department drapes a white sheet over junior MacKenzie Callahan who was sitting in the front seat area with no seatbelt and was thrown through the windshield. She died on the scene.

PUBLIC SAFETY BRIEFS Spring burning restrictions begin in Minnesota Warm temperatures and dry conditions mean increased wildfire risk, so the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will restrict open burning in the following counties effective immediately: Anoka, Benton, Chisago, Douglas, Grant, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Pine, Pope, Ramsey, Sherburne, Stearns, Stevens, Todd, Traverse, Washington and Wright.

The state will not issue burning permits for brush or yard waste in these counties until restrictions are lifted.

“Escaped debris burns are the number one cause of wildfires, so that’s why we issue these restrictions,” said Casey McCoy, DNR fire prevention supervisor.

“They really work—we’ve reduced wildfires by nearly a third since we started spring burning restrictions in 2001.”

McCoy encourages residents to use alternatives to burning such as composting, chipping or taking brush to a collection site. For information on how to compost yard debris, visit the DNR’s guide to composting yard debris.

People who burn debris will be held financially responsible if their fire escapes and burns other property. Burning restrictions will be adjusted, including extension of restrictions to additional counties, as conditions change. For information and daily updates on current fire risk and open burning restrictions, visit the Minnesota DNR website.

BUSINESS BRIEFS utility teams and others working along roadsides safe as the 2019 construction season ramps up.

That was the message last week as Minnesota employers, government entities and traffic safety-focused associations gathered to promote Work Zone Safety Go Orange Day (April 11), one of several efforts focused on keeping workers safe.

“When you’re driving and see orange cones and work zone signs, remember you are driving through someone’s office,” said Paul Aasen, president of the Minnesota Safety Council. “Slow down, get off the phone and focus on safe driving for yourself, and for those who work on and around our roads.”

Work Zone Safety Go Orange Day fell in the middle of this year’s National Work Zone Awareness Week, an annual spring campaign to coincide with the start of road construction season.

MnDOT reports that more than 200 active work zones are scheduled throughout the state this construction season. In addition, utility crews and others are regularly working alongside Minnesota thoroughfares. A work zone is defined as any area where highway construction, maintenance or utility work is being done. Work zones are identified by warning signs, signals, barriers, pavement markings and flaggers.

Each year in the U.S., a work zone crash occurs once every 5.4 minutes, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

Every day, 70 work zone crashes occur that result in at least one injury. Every week, 12 work zone crashes occur that result in at least one fatality. In Minnesota, during the past three years, there were 31 fatalities and 123 serious injuries in work zones.

Two outstanding students in fine arts were introduced by High School Art teacher Kevin Gilbertson and recognized by the board. Chairperson Guthmueller, on behalf of the board, recognized John Burns for his service as a school board member from 2009-2018. 5.

PUBLIC FORUM: None. 6. SUPERINTENDENT REPORT: Superintendent Dietz noted that High School Activities Director Brian Hegseth will retire at the end of this school year and thanked him for all he has done during his 27 years at Centennial. Mr. Hegseth will be recognized this Wednesday for being named the State Activities Director of the Year. Superintendent Dietz also gave an update of Centennial’s lobbying efforts at the Capitol. 7.

CONSENT ITEMS 7.1 Approval of Minutes: Regular School Board Minutes of February 11, 2019 and Work Study Session Minutes of March 4, 2019. 7.2 Approval of Monthly Disbursements: Payroll to be Ratified - $3,994,781.20; Accounts Payable to be Ratified - $2,470,970.79. 7.3 Personnel: Retirements; Terminations; Resignations; Employment; Change in Employment; Unpaid Leaves of Absence. 7.4 Field Trips. 7.5 Gifts to the District. The Superintendent of School recommended approval of the Consent Agenda Items as detailed in the enclosures. Motion to approve the Consent Agenda Items as detailed in the enclosures by Wilson, seconded by Timm. Vote: 6-0-0, motion carried unanimously. 8. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 8.1 Approval of the 2018-19 Calendar Changes Due to Inclement Weather – Consistent with Minnesota Statute 120A.41, school boards must adopt school calendars that include an identified number of instructional hours at each grade level: Kindergarten, 425 hours; Grades 1-6, 935 hours; and Grades 7-12, 1020 hours. The school calendar must also include at least 165 days of instruction for students in grades 1-11. Currently, the school district exceeds the required number of instructional hours and days at all levels. When inclement weather requires the closure of school, school boards must amend their calendars to reflect this lost instructional time and if desired, determine when that instruction time will be made up. During the 2018-19 school year, Centennial School District students have missed 5 instructional days due to inclement weather: January 28-31 and February 20. In light of this lost instructional time, it is the recommendation of Scott Johnson, Executive Director of Teaching and Learning, that the School Board approve the revised 2018-19 Student and Staff Calendars. These revised calendars convert the previously scheduled April 22 staff development day into a student contact day. In the future, as permitted in Minnesota Statute 120A.414, teachers will provide up to 5 days of online (e-learning) instruction when schools are closed due to inclement weather. These e-learning days will eliminate the need to make-up instructional time. Motion to approve the revised 2018-19 Student and Staff Calendars by Culp, seconded by Bettinger.

Vote: 6-0-0, motion carried unanimously. 9.

Emmer added, “This show is all about becoming memories and creating a legacy. It is a really good show to come and see and experience the tragedy. This is real-life stuff.”

Tickets can only be purchased at the door. Financial gifts will also be accepted at the door to establish the Mark Frances Quinlan Legacy Scholarship, which will recognize seniors pursuing post-secondary plans in the fine arts, beginning with the class of 2020.

Quinlan hopes to attend the opening night show on Thursday, May 9. That night, there will be a dessert reception, free of charge, from 6-6:45 p.m. in the west building Learning Commons to honor Quinlan's induction into

The show ends with a new marriage symbolizing the hope that love never dies,” she explained.

Freshman Olivia Lundberg plays a character named Rosina. “She lives with her family on the farm and one day she meets this guy who is quite a bit older than her and they hit it off ...

He ends up asking her father if he can have her as his wife and then about a year later they have a baby, but then it dies,” Lundberg explained. “After that our relationship starts to fall apart and he starts to become abusive. We have a daughter about a year later and her and I basically just have each other and try to live with him.”

Lundberg said she enjoys playing Rosina because she gets to see how much her character changes over time.

She added the show also has some important lessons, such as forgiveness.

When longtime theater director Mark Quinlan decided this year's spring play would be “Becoming Memories” in January, perhaps he knew this would be his final show.

Quinlan, who has served the district in multiple capacities for 41 years, has been in and out of the hospital and became physically unable to continue directing the production. He has been diagnosed with stage 4 thyroid cancer, for which there is no cure. Although he retired from the classroom in 2016, he stuck around the district as speech coach, theater director and substitute teacher. Earlier this month, co-directors Eric Webster, Melissa Krieger and Ruth Olson took over to carry on his legacy.

Twenty-three students (and one student director) will perform “Becoming Memories” May 9-11. The show, which was written by Illusion Theatre of Minneapolis, follows five families through three generations.

“Imagine a bunch of different families looking at a bunch of photo albums and then someone saying, ‘Who is that?’ and ‘Oh, that is so and so, and here is a story that has been passed down,’” Webster explained.

“You see these memories come to life as remembered by the families and how they get told. I think all families have those. It is really about family stories, how we pass stories along from family to family member and remember our family histories.”

He added, “This is everybody's Christmas, everybody's family gettogether. This is every family in the world: you sit, you show pictures, you talk about your family and family stories, where we came from, what it was like. You can't help but think of all of your own family stories when you watch this show.

It is a reminder of how important it is to pass those stories down.”

Krieger's job is to enhance the stories in the show with music. “I decided on using a central theme of love, because each couple begins loving each other in their own way.

Throughout the play this love either grows stronger or, sadly, in the case
