CELEBRATE VETERANS DAY: Visit American Legion Nov. 11 PAGE 15
Light the county green
BY THE NUMBERS • Veterans are at 57% higher risk of suicide than those who haven’t served. • There were 6,146 veteran suicides in 2020. • Over 125,000 veterans have died by suicide since 2001. • Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death in veterans under age 45. • The suicide rate for veterans is more than 50% greater than for non-veteran adults.
Anoka County will again illuminate its facilities in support of veterans as part of Operation Green Light for Veterans Nov. 6-12 and is encouraging area residents and businesses to do the same. The initiative, led by the National Association of Counties, prompts counties to light their buildings green during the first full week of November to show veterans that they are seen, appreciated and supported. “This is a simple way to remind veterans and their families we are here for them because when we needed them most, they answered the call and were there for us,” said Matt Look, chair, Anoka County Board of Commissioners. “Here’s where the public comes

Hugo veteran hopes to impact veteran suicide rate BY SHANNON GRANHOLM MANAGING EDITOR
Dan Arcand, of Hugo, is a 20year veteran. As a Marine who was deployed six times, he has been to a lot of funerals. “The reality is that with multiple combat deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan, I’ve lost more friends to suicide than I have to combat,” he said. “My second chapter is trying to
make an impact on the veterans suicide rate.” Arcand, 38, says he knew he wanted to be in the military, specifically the Marines, at the age of 3. His father, Scott Arcand, served in the Marines for three years. Several other family members have also served in the military. He recalled when he was in preschool and his preschool teacher asked him, “What do you
want to be when you grow up?” and he responded, “A Marine.” “I’m 100% certain a lot of it had to do with seeing pictures of my dad in the uniform, him talking about it,” Arcand said. “I mean there’s something appealing about a challenge, they have a certain type of reputation about them.” Arcand enlisted as an SEE PEACE FOR WARRIORS, PAGE 9
in––we're encouraging all individuals and businesses in Anoka County to join us by swapping one light bulb in their entryway or window for a green one. This gesture is a way to honor those who've made immeasurable sacrifices to safeguard our freedoms.” John Kriesel, director of Anoka County Veteran Services, said the act of illuminating green lights in support of veterans might seem small, but it sends a powerful message to those who have served. “For the second year in a row, Anoka County will participate in the Operation Green Light for Veterans initiative,” he said. “Illuminating some Anoka County SEE OPERATION GREEN LIGHT, PAGE 15
‘Rainbow the Rock Snake’ brings color to Centennial Library BY SEBASTIAN STUDIER CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Next to the parking lot at Centennial Library lies “Rainbow the Rock Snake,” a growing collection of painted, waterproof rocks created by people throughout the community. There are no rules when it comes to adding to the snake, and variety is encouraged. All people are welcome to decorate their own unique rocks and add them to the snake. Kandi Kietz, the creator of “Rainbow the Rock Snake,” saw another rock snake from a different community pop across her Facebook feed and realized that she loved the concept. “I believe it brings a sense of community and diversity,” Kietz said. Naming the snake was easy for Kietz; she simply asked her 6-year-old son, who named it “Rainbow.” Kietz loved the name and loved the sense of inclusion that “Rainbow” could bring to the community. The sign next to Rainbow reads: “The more variety, the stronger the society!”

What turned out not to be easy for Kietz was finding a home for the rock snake. Kietz initially attempted to place the snake at Lexington Athletic Complex in Blaine. However, the sign was vandalized, and “Rainbow” was no longer allowed to stay in that location. Kietz said that she did not take the necessary steps to ask permission to put the snake there, and unfortunately had to search for a new home. Kietz reached out to Centennial Library and she said that they were very excited about the idea. The library teamed up with Circle Pines Parks and Recreation and City Hall to clear out a “beautiful” location for Rainbow. Rainbow is situated in a vacant area where a barn used to be and where there is a time capsule buried beneath in the dirt. Kietz doesn’t think she has an “artistic bone in her body,” but received support from different individuals in the creation of the project. Two people in particular who helped greatly in the creation of Rainbow are Angie Kratts, who also painted the rock head, and Molly Meirding, who

created and donated the sign that stands next to the snake. “I’m so grateful for the community helping me run with this idea and making it happen,” Kietz said.

County administrator will retire in December Anoka County Administrator Rhonda Sivarajah has announced her retirement, after 33 years of working for the county. Sivarajah’s last day in the office will be Dec. 27. Sivarajah started her career with Anoka County in 1990 as a financial worker and was later promoted to managed care liaison and then income maintenance supervisor in the Human Rhonda Services Department. She Silvarajah won election to the county board in 2002 and served as the commissioner representing District 6 for more than 16 years. For eight of those years, she was elected by her peers as board chair. Following the retirement of County Administrator Jerry Soma in 2019, the board conducted a monthslong search for his replace-
POLITICAL BRIEF Klobuchar receives Courage Award U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minnesota) received the Courage Award from Tracy’s Kids for her work to address childhood cancer and for sharing her experience with stage 1A breast cancer. Tracy’s Kids is a nonprofit organization that offers art therapy to help support young cancer and blood disorder patients and their families. “It’s an honor to receive the Courage Award from Tracy’s Kids. Every kid deserves a happy, healthy childhood. That’s why I’m fighting to make sure children and their caregivers have the support they need to beat cancer,” said Klobuchar. “I'll continue to work with my colleagues across the aisle to support cutting-edge research and expand access to needed cancer treatments.” Klobuchar has long supported patients with cancer. Every year, Klobuchar supports strong funding for the National Institutes of Health and Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs.
do some traveling and just enjoy life!” Board Chairman Matt Look served with Sivarajah for his entire tenure as a commissioner and has been on the board for all Sivarajah’s time as county administrator. “Rhonda has been an asset to Anoka County since she started here, and her leadership as a commissioner and board chair was invaluable,” he said. “Those years on the county board thoroughly prepared her for serving as our administrator, and she led us through some very difficult times over the past few years. I’m very grateful for the knowledge she’s shared, her management of tough situations and her guidance. She’s going to be missed, and I wish her well on her retirement.”
ment. Sivarajah was the top-scoring candidate to apply for the post, and the board appointed her county administrator in June 2019. “When I started with the county back in 1990, I told myself I was only going to be here for a few short years before I decided what I wanted to do in life,” Sivarajah said. “I quickly fell in love with the work environment and the camaraderie that existed — I was part of the Anoka County family and never looked back. I have been incredibly blessed to work with true public servants who have dedicated their careers to making a difference striving each day to do their best on behalf of the residents of Anoka County. I have been carefully planning for this day over the past year, shortly after suddenly losing my dad. Life is too short, and I am excited to be able to spend time with my family as well as

Vikings: A new hope
I
just watched one of the most entertaining Minnesota Vikings games I’ve ever seen against the Atlanta Falcons. I didn’t have high hopes for this game. Like many of us fans, I didn’t know what was going to happen. That’s what I love about football. Anything can happen — good or bad. When the Vikes lost Kirk Cousins to a season-ending achilles injury during the Green Bay Packers game, things seemed bleak. Cousins was having an MVP season. The Vikings quarterback has been sacked and hit so many times throughout the years and the time he gets a season ending injury is from non contact. Only in Minnesota. Rookie quarterback Jalen Hall Noelle’s started the game against the Atlanta Falcons. In the first drive, he got Notes a concussion and was out for the Noelle Olson game. In comes Josh Dobbs. I never heard of him until he was traded to the Vikings on Halloween. With only four days to prepare, he had to come in and work his magic. At first, it was a little wonky when he was sacked in the end zone (which was a safety) and he fumbled a couple of times. But he didn’t let that frazzle him. He got a running touchdown and led the Vikings to a game-winning drive with a little over two minutes to play. Dobbs was also the leading rusher for both teams with 66 yards. Skol Nation has something to be proud of with this rejuvenated Vikings team. After starting 0-3, the Minnesota Vikings have won four out of their five last games. With so many starters out with injuries, the team isn’t letting that bring them down. If anything, they are playing as a team and the support they give each other is evident on the field. Also, Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores has turned the defense around and they are looking fantastic! This is a well-coached NFL team. I watched coach Kevin O’Connell’s speech in the locker room after the game and you can see the camaraderie of this Vikings team. They rose above dire circumstances and never gave up. The Vikes next play the New Orleans Saints at home. I can’t wait to see how many fans will be wearing number 15 jerseys. Welcome to Minnesota, Josh Dobbs! God speed Mr. Bremer Dick Bremer has been the voice of the Minnesota Twins for 40 years. It was announced that he will not be back next season and will go into a special assistant role. I met Dick when I was in high school at church. He was my brother’s confirmation teacher and the sportscaster who worked at Spectrum Sports, which covered the Minnesota North Stars and Twins. When he found out I was going to St. Cloud State University to study mass communications, he asked if I wanted to take stats for him in the booth for the St. Cloud Husky hockey games. Of course, I said “yes” and that was the only year that Herb Brooks was the head coach of the team. Dick is one of the nicest people and he has the iconic broadcast voice. I will miss his knowledge of the game and wish him the best. Thanks for the memories. Veterans Day Veterans Day is Saturday, Nov. 11. This day is to honor and remember military veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces. For years I would take my uncle Del out to lunch on Veterans Day. He was a Vietnam Vet and passed away last year. This was the only time Del would talk about the war and tell me stories about his time in Vietnam. He is missed. I would like to thank all of the veterans out there for their service and sacrifice … freedom isn’t free. Noelle Olson is the editor of the White Bear Press and Vadnais Heights Press

How to safely navigate winter roads
inter is here and tow companies are “laughing all the way”… to the bank. Since none of us have any control over the weather, or the timeliness of plow trucks, let’s turn our attention to the two things we do have control over during winter driving: Our vehicle, and how we drive it. First, make sure you, or Cop’s someone you trust is performCorner ing preventative maintenance Dan Thil on your vehicle. Change the oil when it’s needed, make sure the headlamps, tail lights, high beams, and turn signals are working properly. (All of these are checked if you use a quick service oil change). Let’s discuss headlamps a bit more. Remember they are just as much, if not more so, about allowing other motorists to see you, as they are about providing light to improve your ability to see. MN Statute 169.48 requires drivers to use their headlights: at any time when it is raining, snowing, sleeting, or hailing; and at any other time when visibility is impaired by weather,
smoke, fog or other conditions or there is not sufficient light to render clearly discernible persons and vehicles on the highway at a distance of 500 feet ahead Basically any time you are using your windshield wipers or thinking about using your windshield wipers TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS. Any time you are thinking “gee, it sure is foggy this morning.” Or “Ooh the snow is so pretty,” or, “I wonder how this grass fire started,” or “Finally some rain, my grass really needs it.” TURN ON YOUR HEADLIGHTS. Most motorist don’t realize their automatic lights will only be on when it’s dark enough, and that’s it. Your automatic lights don’t know when it’s snowing, raining, sleeting, hailing, etc. Take some time to learn how to move your headlights from “auto” to “on.” Step out of your car and take a look at the difference. Next time you drive in the snow during the day, turn your headlights “on,” then during your travels, count the number of cars who don’t know how to do that, and are in violation of the above mentioned statute. You will be amazed! Changing how we drive can also have serious effects on our ability to safely navigate winter roads. A vehicle traveling 30mph on dry pavement can
stop in about 30 feet. That same vehicle will need 100ft to stop on snow, and 200ft to stop on ice. A 60mph vehicle will need 400ft on snow, and 800ft on ice. What do we do about this? Slow down, and leave extra room between you and the vehicle in front of you. New or seasonal tires can also make a difference. If you need new tires, put them on before the winter season. Lastly, be slow and smooth with all inputs to your car. Slow and smooth steering, slow and smooth on the gas, and slow and smooth on the brakes. We can do all of these more quickly in July, but if you try that in January it’s only a matter of time before you are in the ditch. Even in the ditch you need to think about being safe. Turn on your hazard lights and stay in your car with your seatbelt on. You want the next ditch-bound car to strike your vehicle, not you! Call for help from your phone and wait in the vehicle if you can. If you need to exit your vehicle, proceed quickly to a safer area. Please drive safely, call us if you need to, and we’ll see you in the spring! Dan Thill is a sergeant with the Lino Lakes Public Safety Department.

our lives. Recently I had to backtrack hard on an opinion and tone I delivered to someone close. I had to apologize profusely and sincerely after thinking about it, for the actions I took. I just could have let my mistake sit. Some harm would have been done to them, but it certainly would have augured into my being more than the words I said. And that is as much the point as the apology itself. The destruction we cause internally by not straightening out our misdeeds destroys us from becoming better individuals to ourselves and the broader world because of this weight we carry. Whether they accept your apology is up to them, and of course depends on the severity of the wrong, and also on their own inner capability to move on, and understand their own fallibility. Mistakes we make don’t mean WE are a mistake, as noted speaker Chuck Gallagher from Greenville S.C. pointed out to an audience I was recently a part of. We will all make mistakes, but most aren’t fatal to us from becoming better humans for our own self-interest, and to those in our community. So close on any outstanding mistakes you have made, and vow to not make them again. And become that better individual that the world so desperately needs right now.

irst, several thoughts on what we wear. Twice within the past month someone has brought up to me the subject of how we dress in public. One was noted Journalist Peggy Noonan in the WSJ, the other was a panel speaker at a Utility Conference I attended. This is difficult to speak to from someone like myself, who has practically his first full-of-holes tee shirt, but I will try. The important thing to note, as the above Movers & two individuals and my wife reminds me, is that when we step out Shakers on the street, or up to Jan Kreminski the podium, or speak in front of a group, is that you are representing a community. That could be just your family, or your neighborhood, or the school, or City, or business. Maybe casual dress has been okayed for your task, but still, it can be classy casual, can’t it? We are all, as I have read many times, judged on sight, and given credence, or not, just by that first impression. It may not be fair, but that is the way the world works. So who are your representing today in your life? Think about it next time before you put on that holey tee shirt to step out the door. Second item, closing on wrongs in

Staying safe on cold water is everyone’s responsibility Some people in Minnesota have put away their boats for the year, but plenty of others will squeeze out every bit they can of the open-water season, whether they’re chasing game, targeting fish or paddling lakes and rivers. To anyone on or around the water this fall, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources offers this reminder: Your safety is your responsibility. With water temperatures consistently dropping, unexpected falls into the water are more likely to end in tragedy because even strong swimmers can become incapacitated quickly in cold water. Coupled with fewer people on the water to potentially help in an emergency, it’s vital that people take steps to ensure their safety. While more boating-related accidents happen during the busy summer, a higher percentage of cold-water incidents are fatal and survival rates drop drastically. “The water this time of year is unforgiving,” said Capt. Adam Block, DNR boating law administrator. “Taking safety precautions is the best way to ensure a day on the water doesn’t turn tragic.” The easiest and most effective way to stay safe and survive a fall into the water is to wear a life jacket (foam is better than
inflatable during the cold-water season), not just have one along. People can reduce the likelihood of a fall overboard by distributing weight evenly in the boat and abiding by the manufacturer’s weight limits. Having a means of communication is important, too, as is making sure other people are aware where you’re going and when you plan to return. Changes in weather that result in shifting winds and storms can also lead to a treacherous situation, so it’s vital for anglers and hunters to keep an eye to the sky. In addition to staying safe on the water, people who are hunting should always follow the four rules of firearms safety: Treat each firearm as if it is loaded; always control the muzzle of your firearm; be sure of your target and what is beyond; and keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you’re ready to shoot. For more information, including how to survive a fall into cold water, visit mndnr. gov/safety/boatwater/cold-water.html.

LEXINGTON— Vandals have struck again. The most recent target was the concession stand at Memorial Park. “It’s going to be a little costly to fix. It’s disappointing,” said City Administrator Bill Petracek. “I think public works was a little upset about it. We’re hoping that the cameras will catch them ... We’re looking at the footage.” Council Member Kim DeVries asked whether insurance would cover some of the cost of the damage sustained from the vandalism. Petracek said they’re still working through what the costs would be and whether they’ll submit it to insurance. One of the challenges is that the vandals painted on concrete, which can be difficult to remove. “We need to figure out how to get it off … That’s not an easy thing to do,” Petracek said. “They painted on the concrete so we need to figure out how to get it off the concrete because that’s not an easy thing to do,” Petracek said. Petracek added that a police report has been made. Centennial Lakes Police Chief James Mork confirmed the incident is under investigation and there are currently no suspects.

The couple’s interests included motorcycling, camping, and their involvement in the local snowmobiling club, the Circle Pines Sno-Goers. In Gerry’s earlier career, she worked as Anoka County Clerk of Court. From 1971 to 1974, Gerry wrote the “Pines Potpourri” weekly feature for Circle Pines’ local newspaper, the Circulating Pines. From 1976 through 2003, Gerry worked various positions, including Administrative Assistant to the Chief of Police, at the Circle Pines – Lexington Police Department (Centennial Lakes Police Department). Also within this time frame (1985 – 1989), she served as the Commission Secretary for the Centennial Fire District. Upon her retirement in 2003, Gerry moved back to her hometown of Fergus Falls. Retirement was short lived! Shortly after her move, she returned to what she knew best: She worked as transcriptionist at the Fergus Falls Police Department from 2004 – 2009. After her 2nd retirement, she volunteered her time by helping with archiving duties at the Otter Tail County Historical Society. In her later years, she enjoyed playing cards and bingo with friends, monthly “Girl Grad” lunches, casino trips, Senior Center activities, and spending time with family. She was an avid reader, was always up for starting yet another jigsaw puzzle, and loved rides in the country, especially enjoying the beautiful fall leaves and hoping for a deer sighting. Her face would always light up anytime she knew that an ice cream treat was in her future! Those who knew Gerry appreciated her sense of fun and humor; she was happiest when she was laughing and joking around with those who really “got” her. Preceding her in death were her parents Adolf and Alice Bredehoft, brother Larry Bredehoft, and sisters Margene Bredehoft, Delores Kivley, and Donna Ecker, along with many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins. Gerry is survived by children Becky Rismoen of Fergus Falls, Brian (Sue) Rismoen of Indianapolis, IN, Julie Rismoen of Alexandria, MN, and Greg (Layla) Rismoen of Columbia Heights, MN; grandchildren Thomas Brinker, Michele (Greg) Bird, Christy (Jason) Kritz, Kari McMillian, Stephanie (Kevin) Schmidt, Allison Rismoen, and Elsa and Wilhelmina Rismoen; 13 great-grandchildren (with one more on the way), 3 great-great-grandchildren, and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Blessed be the memory of Gerry Rismoen. Glende-Nilson Funeral Home, Fergus Falls

PEACE FOR WARRIORS: Takes different approach to help veterans with PTSD FROM PAGE 1
infantryman and actually left high school early to head to boot camp. During his 20-year military career he was deployed six times. Back in 2010, while he was in between deployments, Arcand launched a nonprofit called American Spartan to help veterans who were wounded in action. That nonprofit ran until 2017. Arcand explained that the nonprofit wasn’t needed anymore, since there were so many other resources out there for wounded veterans. Then in December 2022, Arcand officially launched another nonprofit called Peace for Warriors that aims to help veterans recover from PTSD and moral injury symptoms by providing international outreach opportunities. In July 2023, Arcand retired as a gunnery sergeant. Arcand has PTSD himself. He guesses he probably had it as early as 2005, but he didn’t seek treatment for it until his son was born in 2018. “It’s everything from just not being able to sleep, to times where I’ve been walking through a shopping mall and I swear I see a dead friend,” Arcand explained. “You are driving down the road and you’re worried that you are going to hit a bomb.” The idea for Peace for Warriors came from a conversation Arcand had with his girlfriend, Danielle Bare, on their first date. By the age of 27, Bare had volunteered in over 10 countries. Arcand himself went on one noncombat deployment to west Africa. “I was telling her that story and about how I have had a lot of friends kill themselves because of PTSD. I said, ‘I wish I could figure out a way to help,’ and she asked if I had ever thought about volunteering.” Peace for Warriors recreates the “deployment” cycle for a sense of familiarity but, instead of combat, they volunteer to help those in need. “We structure the trip as if it’s a deployment. So, we do a training brief before we go overseas with everybody; when we are on the trip, we do mission briefings every morning, debriefs every evening … there is a rank structure in place,” Arcand said. “You don’t have to worry about getting shot in the back. It’s just going and helping people and putting a smile on the kids’ faces.” The trips will last around 30 days, and will hopefully have 12 to 20 veterans, Arcand said. Peace for Warriors is planning its first trip to the Philippines in March 2024. Arcand said the organization hopes to do two trips in 2024. “The real treatment for me is just being involved and making sure that my buddies are okay. The community is the real treatment,” Arcand said. “I just want to stop going to funerals.” Kayla Leland, 26, serves as the nonprofit’s director of health services. Leland met Arcand through her

husband, who served in the Marines with him. She is originally from Iowa, but now resides in Arizona. The mission of Peace for Warriors hits close to home for Leland because when she was 6 years old, her father committed suicide. He was also a Marine and suffered from PTSD. “You can’t really understand that at 6,” Leland explained. She added that she didn’t really find closure with what had happened until a few years ago. “I recognize how tough that can be on a family … Having been through that, I feel really strongly about providing support and trying to make other avenues for people,” she said. “It is something that never goes away. It is really tough missing someone like that and wishing it would have been different.” Leland is hopeful the nonprofit can serve as a “wellrounded” resource that is in addition to resources veterans are already seeking. “I hope that we can be successful and change the trajectory of people’s healing journeys.” For more information, visit https://peace4warriors. org/. Managing Editor Shannon Granholm can be reached at 651-407-1227 or quadnews@presspubs.com.
Know the Warning Signs of Suicide
Check for these warning signs to determine if a loved one is at risk for suicide, especially if the behavior is new, has increased, or seems related to a painful event, loss, or change. • Talking about wanting to die or killing themselves • Looking for a way to kill themselves, like searching online • Talking about feeling hopeless or having no reason to live • Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain • Talking about being a burden to others • Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs • Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly • Sleeping too little or too much • Withdrawing or isolating themselves • Repetitive stressful events • Extreme mood swings

Cougars nip Lakers in OT, eye elusive final-eight win BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
Winning one or two playoff games has become an expectation for Centennial football, said coach Mike Diggins. “Now,” he added, “we’d like to create a new expectation. The Cougars, after a comefrom-behind, 26-23 playoff win over Prior Lake last Friday, have reached the final eight. The quarterfinals — a game Centennial has not won since 1984, said Diggins, who’s been in the program since the 1980s. No. 5 Centennial, 9-1 with two playoff wins, faces Rosemount (6-4) on Thursday, 7 p.m., in Stillwater. The Cougars edged the Irish 9-0 in the regular-season finale. Against Prior Lake, the Cougars pulled even 20-20 with 2:22 left on a four-yard run by Marcus Whiting, but they missed the conversion kick. Setting up

that touchdown was Maverick Harper’s long gainer on a short pass from Daylen Cummings. Prior Lake went first in overtime and suffered a 10-yard
holding penalty. They reached the four and got a 21-yard field goal by Mason Storlie, his third three-pointer of the game. The Cougars got the
game-winner on a one-yard touchdown by Cummings on third down, after Whiting barged nine yards on first down. “We made far too many mistakes for a playoff game. We almost had to turn in our gear,” Diggins said. “But they (Prior Lake) are a very good team. Their line is huge. They might be the biggest team I’ve ever seen. They are much better than their record indicates. Look who they play.” The Lakers were 5-5 with all five losses again Top Ten ranked teams. They have a 6-foot-6, 295-pound Gopher recruit and two other linemen over 300 pounds. Centennial led 14-10 at the half on Harper’s two-yard touchdown and Ty Burgoon’s 44-yard score with a pass from Cummings. Prior Lake had a 48-yard score by Hunter Macgillivray and a 38-yard field
goal by Storlie. Prior Lake took a 17-14 lead on Levi Elter’s three-yard run in the third quarter and added a 27-yard field goal with 6:02 left. After the Cougars tied the score, they had a chance to win after a Prior Lake fumble in the final minute. However, the Lakers blocked a field goal attempt from 35 yards. Centennial gave up a fumble that gave the Lakers a short field for their touchdown. Owen Ringen of the Cougars stopped one Laker drive with an interception. Cummings completed eight of 14 passes for 169 yards with no interceptions, and gained 66 yards in nine rushes. Burgoon caught two passes for 62 yards, Harper two for 42, Josh Lee three off 40, and Brock Burggraff one for 25. Harper carried 25 times for 106 yards. Burggraff also had a 62-yard kickoff return.
Cougar runners place 8th at state; Nelson all-state again BY BRUCE STRAND SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR
The Centennial girls placed eighth in the state cross country meet on Saturday, led by Kylie Nelson, who repeated as an individual all-stater. Wayzata was team champion, followed by Prior Lake and Minnetonka, while Forest Lake’s Norah Hushagen was gold medalist in 17:27, at Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights. The Cougars placed fourth last year and had their top five runners back. They won conference and section championships this year. Nelson, a junior, churned to 13th place in 18:44.5, moving up eight spots from last year’s 21st-place finish. The top 25 are all-state. Following were freshman Abby Smith placing 47th in 19:26.9; senior Abby Wood, 55th in 19:33.5; junior Miranda Sawvel, 101st in 20:17.4; senior Julia Zalewski, 130th in 20:53.2; sophomore Anna Swanson, 139th in 21:05.7; and junior Annelise Offerdahl, 142nd in 21:07.5; among 160 state qualifiers.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Owen Ringen Centennial Football
Owen Ringen has been a pillar of the Centennial football team’s defense at free safety this season. The 5-foot-10, 180-pound senior’s contributions include three interceptions and strong open-field tackling for the Cougars, who are 9-1 and have reached the final eight at state. “He’s not the fastest kid, but plays the ball really well. He’ll also come up and hit you,” coach Mike Diggins said. It’s a new position for Ringen, who was a backup at three positions last season. “A jack of all trades. But we had to find him a home this year,” Diggins said.
Skylar Dahl, a 2021 Centennial graduate, will compete in the 2024 Paralympics in Paris, after her Team USA quintet earned the silver medal in the World Rowing Championships in Serbia, Sept. 3-10. The Americans placed second in the PR3 (full trunk and lower body)
Mixed 4-plus category behind Great Britain, beating Germany for the silver. The Paralympics will start Aug. 28, 2024, following the Olympics, also in Paris. Dahl, who was born with two club feet, but can walk and run normally, is a junior on University of Virginia rowing team, a perennial power that won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship and
placed 10th in the NCAA meet last spring. Dahl, featured by the Quad Community Press in July, occupies the bow seat on Team USA. Her teammates are Saige Harper (2 seat), Benjamin Watson (stroke seat), Alex Flynn (3 seat), and Emelie Eldracher (coxswain), all collegiate rowers.

ORDINANCE NO. 131 - SECOND SERIES AN ORDINANCE TO REVISE CHAPTER 156 ZONING CODE The City Council of the City of Centerville hereby ordains: Section 1. Purpose, Intent and Findings The purpose of this Section is to set forth the land use and licensing requirements for clinics that provide treatment for addictive drugs or alcohol in order to protect the general health, safety and welfare. a. Findings and Provisions. It is the purpose of this Ordinance to regulate clinics that provide treatment for addictive drugs and alcohol in order to promote the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the citizens of the City and to establish reasonable and uniform regulations. b. Clinics or other facilities providing treatment for additive chemicals and alcohol, in particular, those clinics treating opioid or related addictions under Minn. Stat. Sec. 245A.192, play an essential role in providing treatment and support for individuals with opioid addiction, aiming to reduce the harm associated with substance abuse, and improve overall community well-being. The presence and operation of these clinics can also have negative impacts. These negative impacts include. i. Crime and Public Safety: Potential for increased crime rates, loitering, or illicit drug activities in the vicinity of these clinics. ii. Drug-related Crimes: The illegal drug trade and related activities, such as drug dealing or the presence of individuals seeking to buy or sell drugs, have occurred in the vicinity of these clinics. iii. Prescription Fraud: These clinics dispense medication to their patients, and prescription fraud can occur when individuals attempt to obtain drugs like methadone illicitly or forge prescriptions for medications. This can lead to crimes such as identity theft, prescription forgery, or illegal distribution of methadone or related prescription drugs. iv. Property Crimes: Instances of property crimes such as theft, burglary, or robbery have occurred in the vicinity of these clinics. Some individuals struggling with addiction may resort to these activities to fund their substance use or due to financial difficulties associated with their condition. v. Traffic and Parking: Increased traffic and parking congestion caused by the influx of patients attending the clinic. vi. Property Values: The presence of these clinics can have a negative impact on property values. vii. Environmental Impact: Improper disposal of medication or waste related to the operation of a clinic may raise environmental concerns, particularly if it poses a risk to local water sources or wildlife. viii. Community Integration: These clinics often face opposition from community members who resist the integration of such facilities in their neighborhoods. This resistance can stem from various factors as stated above and also fears of the unknown, concerns about the clinic’s impact on the community’s character, or biases against individuals with substance use disorders. c. Based upon these findings, the Council believes that effective regulation, security measures, and collaboration with local law enforcement can help address and prevent potential problems stemming from the operation of these clinics. The following regulations are necessary to address these needs of the community. Section 2. That Section 156.006 Definitions shall be amended, as follows: CLINIC, MEDICAL. Any establishment where human patients are examined and treated by doctors or dentists but not hospitalized overnight. CLINIC SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT. establishment treating opioid or related addictions as regulated pursuant to Minn. Stat. Sec. 245A.192 or revisions to this statue. Section 3. That Section 156.031 Main Street Commercial District (B-2) shall be amended, as follows: (D) Conditional uses. *** (8) Clinics, Substance Abuse Treatment (a) Treatment must be performed while a licensed medical provider is onsite. (b) Such clinics must be 500 feet from a daycare or educational institution, as measured from property boundaries. (c) A security and traffic control plan must be submitted to the cityfor approval. (d) This use shall be governed by an Interim Use Permit for a period no longer than two years for the purpose of measuring cimpliance with State, Federal, and City related standards. (e) A community relations plan, establishing a community liason to share information with, must be submitted to the city for approval. (f) Voluntary and involuntary program closure procedured must be submitted to the city for approval. (g) Loitering in front of the building is prohibited. Section 4. Table 156-A.1. attached as EXHIBIT A, shall be revised to reflect the changes in Sections 2 and 3. Section 5. Effective Date. This ordinance takes effect upon its adoption and publication. ADOPTED following the second reading on the 25th day of October 2023, and thereafter by a unanimous vote of the City Council of the City of Centerville, Minnesota. EXHIBIT A

Dan Arcand, of Hugo, is a 20-year veteran. As a Marine who was deployed six times, he has been to a lot of funerals. “The reality is that with multiple combat deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan, I’ve lost more friends to suicide than I have to combat,” he said. “My second chapter is trying to make an impact on the veterans suicide rate.” Arcand, 38, says he knew he wanted to be in the military, specifically the

He recalled when he was in preschool and his preschool teacher asked him, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” and he responded, “A Marine.” “I’m 100% certain a lot of it had to do with seeing pictures of my dad in the uniform, him talking about it,” Arcand said. “I mean there’s something appealing about a challenge, they have
a certain type of reputation about them.” Arcand enlisted as an infantryman and actually left high school early to head to boot camp. During his 20year military career he was deployed six times. Back in 2010, while he was in between deployments, Arcand launched a nonprofit called American Spartan to help veterans who were wounded in action. That nonprofit ran until 2017.

Laura Cowles, Heather Johnson and Zach Zacho all belong to a club they never wanted to join. They all outlived their children, who were victims of a fentanyl overdose. “It’s an empty feeling, because it isn’t like they were sick or had cancer or an illness that you could kind of mentally prepare yourself for. It a sudden death,” Cowles said. “I never expected to outlive my children.” Cowles, a Circle Pines resident, lost her 30-year-old son, Castle
Ahlbeck, to a fentanyl overdose Aug. 16, 2022, while he was in the Stillwater prison. He was serving his fifth year of a seven-year sentence. He leaves behind three children, ages 12, 9 and 6. “I got a phone call from the prison saying that he had passed away. I was in shock,” she recalled. “At first, they couldn’t tell me what had happened, and then about two weeks later, they finally told me that he had passed from a fentanyl overdose… How does fentanyl get in a prison?” Eventually she was told that
BY THE NUMBERS • Over 150 people die every day from overdoses related to synthetic opioids like fentanyl. • Rates of overdose deaths involving synthetic opioids other than methadone, which includes fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, increased over 22% from 2020 to 2021.

John Patrick’s heartwarming comedy, “The Curious Savage,” is coming to Mounds View High School Nov. 9 - 12. The play tells the story of Mrs. Ethel P. Savage. Upon her husband’s death, Mrs. Savage inherits $10 million, then plans to establish a fund to support dreamers with whimsical aspirations. Her stepchildren strongly disagree, so to prevent her from sharing their family’s wealth, they have her committed to a sanitarium. It is there that Mrs. Savage, played by Anja Horsman, finds kindness in the residents of “The Cloisters.” “This play is an engaging experience that presents the true importance of charity and kindness in a world that is often motivated by greed and dishonesty,” says Horsman, a senior at Mounds View High School. “It’s an honor to play the role of such a logical and humorous woman.” The Mounds View High School Theater Company is under the direction of Matthew van Bruggen, who has worked with several theater arts organizations, including the Minnesota Fringe Festival and Hennepin Theatre Trust. Before accepting the role as district performance facilities manager for Mounds View, he was the assistant theater director at Irondale High School.
