Redmon’s Popcorn reopens to Times Square-level fanfare
‘The Late Show’ celebrates New Hope
Mayor Kathi Hemken in the process
By SETH ROWE

With the Redmon’s Popcorn
shop popping back up after a hi-
atus, the New Hope store paired
with the Big Apple yet again
when “The Late Show with Ste-
phen Colbert” briefly featured
Redmon’s Popcorn on a Times
Square electronic billboard.
“Grand re-opening – Red-
mon’s Popcorn,” read the red-
and-yellow billboard.

ed, “Just 1,207 miles this way!”

included a video driving by the
New Hope water tower, the Jan.
12 edition of the New York-
based CBS late-night show had
the entire audience shouting
the name of New Hope Mayor
Kathi Hemken.

Redmon made of his popcorn

featuring popcorn billowing
out of a fancy ride driven by
the Golden Valley resident and
popcorn shop proprietor, be-
came a hit with the audience
and popcorn lovers.
As Stephen Colbert described
a line out the door at the store,
2738 Winnetka Ave., Suite 150B,
he said the line was “proving it’s
not only like a luxury vehicle, it’s
also like the DMV.”
The good times ground to a

Serber relinquishes
baton after decades
Robbinsdale bids
farewell to longtime
director of city band
By ALAINA ROOKER
alaina.rooker@apgecm.com
The 115-year tradition of
the Robbinsdale City Band is
undergoing a transition: the
departure of director Mike
Serber.
While significant, the transi-
tion is something that, thanks
to dedicated leadership hasn’t
come around often. Serber as-
sumed the role in 1991, capping
an impressive 30-year tenure as
the band’s first in command.
Before him was Roger Thomp-
son, who led the band for 22
years.
Since 1906, the band has
been led by a rotation of 12
directors, but Serber takes the
cake for the one that’s stood at
a Certificate of Occupancy from
the city and a requirement for
a food license from the county.
The county also reportedly
objected to the line down the
hall, prompting Colbert to
quip, “Yes, we all know that the
number one hazard at any store
is people wanting to be there.
That’s why the safest business
in America is Uncle Giuseppe’s
Used Retainer Shoppe.”
Hemken, the top elected of-
ficial for New Hope for the last
14 years, had been among those
lined up, along with her golfing
pals.
“In talking with Zack, I knew
that he needed a little guidance,”
Hemken said. “There’s all kinds
of hoops to jump through that

the helm the longest. Despite
joking that he’d lead the band
as long as he was alive, Serber
decided it was time to relin-
quish his baton a few months
before the pandemic to have
more time to devote to family,
travel and writing music.
The path to retirement was
muddied by the pandemic, but
in December, he finally handed
the role to Ray Johanneck.

you’re starting a business.”
She suggested he attend the
New Hope Business Network-
ing Group, even threatening
to go pick him up to bring him
to the monthly meeting if he
didn’t attend, she joked. After
Redmon arrived, of his own
accord, she learned Hennepin
County had stepped in. At that
point, she suggested he meet
with Brandon Bell, community
development assistant for New
Hope. Redmon credits Bell with
helping him figure out his licens-
ing issues “to get the show go-
ing.”

Serber recalled his anxious first year
taking over the program as director after
Thompson called it quits in 1991. He en-
tered the band into as many concerts as
possible, soon after learning that both of
his children had been named to separate
royalty programs. The result was about
50 parades and coronations, the family
racing from one event to the next, and
enough stress that Serber landed in the
hospital on his birthday with a 105-de-
gree fever.
“Fortunately, before the fall concert
band rehearsals began, I was feeling bet-
ter,” Serber said.
‘A group who cares’
As the years passed, the relationship
between Serber and his players slowly
blurred from professional to something
that more closely resembled a family.
John Roll has played tuba and occa-
sionally bass drum for the band since
1980. He met his wife, Mary, in the band
(a piccoloist and flutist), and his children
took turns in the band when they were
of age.
Roll said it’s impossible to recall a sin-
gular memory between him and Serber
because their lives and experiences had
become so intertwined.
“He was there at our wedding and was
one of the first calls when our kids were
born,” Roll said.
Roll recalled many evenings waiting
in Serber’s driveway to pick his son, Mi-

chael, from private trumpet lessons. Last
fall, Michael began a graduate program
in music composition at Washington
D.C. Roll said Serber deserves “a lot of
the credit” for inspiring his son’s passion
for music. The same for his daughter, Ra-
chel, an accomplished trumpeter in her
own right, who was known to intrude on
lessons between the two Mikes to offer
her two cents on how to nail an audition.
Sheldon Silberman, who estimates his
involvement in the band exceeds 50 years,
said much the same. Silberman believed
many of his fellow band members feel
that way, thanks to Serber’s approach to
leadership.
“I feel I have a significant personal con-
nection with Mike, but he has that with
a lot of people in the band,” Silberman
said. “He’s a solid guy with a solid pres-
ence.”
Roll likened the band to a large, musi-
cal family that celebrated each member’s
successes and offered solace when they
suffered. He remembered the nervous
energy among members at a parade per-
formance when Serber was awaiting his
pager to alert him to the birth of a grand-
child at the hospital, and the deep sadness
when the band learned of his daughter’s
unexpected death in 2018.
“The band warms to these occasions,
these opportunities to commiserate,” Sil-
berman said. “It’s certainly a strength of
the Robbinsdale City Band: they feel like
they’re part of something, part of a group
who truly cares.”

Finally a local Doctor is helping cancer survivors live lives free
from the pain and constant suffering of peripheral neuropathy
Irreversible is not a word you
want to hear from your Doctor, but
it's a common one if you've been
diagnosed with Chemotherapy-
Induced Peripheral Neuropathy.
Elliot S of Wayzata survived
testicular cancer only to be living
life in constant pain. He felt as
though he were walking on pins and
needles, becoming weaker and
weaker every day. "I was beginning
to be worried that one day I would
be wheelchair bound."
Nearly half of patients who
undergo chemotherapy will
develop Chemotherapy-Induced
Peripheral Neuropathy or CIPN.
Chemotherapy meds travel
throughout the body and attack
cancer cells; sadly they can also
cause severe damage to healthy
nerves. CIPN can begin within
weeks of starting treatment and can
worsen as treatment continues. A
high number of really unfortunate
people will be forced to endure the
symptoms associated with CIPN for
months, or even years after they've
completed chemo.
When asked how CIPN was
affecting his quality of life he
responded, "It was difficult to even
walk up and down stairs and do
things we usually take for granted."

of his greatest accomplishments. He’s
also restructured the band to keep it rel-
evant, and developed a handbook detail-
ing band procedures, commands and ma-
neuvers. A copy was placed in the city’s
time capsule, which awaits discovery by
the next generation of Robbinsdalians in
the coming years.
He also flexed his music composition
skills, creating an original march for the
band in 2006 when it celebrated its cen-
tennial year. Serber remembers debuting
it to an overflow crowd. He has composed
other pieces in memory of passed band
The most common symptoms
include:
Pain, tingling, burning,
weakness, numbness in arms,
hands, legs or feet
Sudden, sharp, stabbing or
shocking pain sensations
Clumsiness and trouble using
hands to pick up objects or
fasten clothing
Loss of balance and falling
For some, the nerves recover
over time. For most, the nerve
damage is 'irreversible.' Elliot had
been told just that by a series of
Doctors and specialists.
Essentially they could fix the
cancer but couldn't fix the damage
done by the drugs used to cure his
cancer.
Then Elliot made a call to
Dr Christopher Johnson of
Everybody Healing Center. Dr
Johnson is using the time-tested
science of acupuncture and a
technology originally developed
by NASA that assists in
increasing blood flow and
expediting recovery and healing
to treat this debilitating disease.

members.
While interest in community groups
and organizations seem to wane, Serber
believes interest in city bands, especially
in the Twin Cities area, continues to grow.
He’s seen it repeatedly, from the high
turnout at the centennial to the packed
crowd of seniors the band played for days
after the events of Sept. 11, 2001 (when
so many other events were canceled), and
one final time when he led the band in
its annual Christmas concert last month.
Serber attributes it, simply, to the
power that music has on people: to the
individual or the crowd; the listener or
the performer.
“In a world as uncertain as ours is to-
day, we need music to help give meaning
to our world – to help us experience and
understand the full range of emotions,
from despair and sorrow to elation and
triumph,” Serber said. “Together, we all
share in the power of music to enhance
and transform the quality of our lives.”
The Robbinsdale City Band will con-
tinue to make music for passersby at all
of the city’s mainstay events, now under
the direction of recent graduate Ray
Johanneck. Serber will return to experi-
encing the band as an audience member,
something he hasn’t done since his pre-
teen years. It’s a prospect he looks at with
mixed emotions, but with the same en-
during support of one who has lovingly
cared for it for three decades.
“Leading the Robbinsdale City Band
has been the honor of my lifetime,” he
said.

TANICK’S TAKE
The quad cities
are ‘laboratories
of democracy’
Golden Valley is the only
one of the quad communi-
ties that swore in recently-
elected municipal officials
at the beginning of this
month. It is the only one
that will not do so next
year.
Unlike Robbinsdale,
New Hope and Crystal,
Golden Valley elects its
councilmembers and may-
or in odd-numbered years.
Two of the five council
seats were up for election
last November and a pair
of others, along with the
mayor’s spot, will be on the
ballot in 2023.
The installed duo, both
endorsed by the DFL, were
sworn in at the city’s initial
2022 council meeting earli-
er in January. They consist-
ed of Gillian Rosenquist,
the highest vote-getter, re-
elected to a second four-
year term, and newcomer
Denise La-Mere Ander-
son, both defeating a pair
of spirited competitors,
including former Council-
member Joanie Clausen.
The biannual rotation
on the ballot of elected
officials, as Golden Valley
does, emulates the practice
in many smaller and mid-
size communities. But it
differs from larger cities
like Minneapolis and St.
Paul where all elected of-
ficials are on the ballot at
the same time.
The Golden Valley pro-
cess provides greater con-
tinuity among elected of-
ficials, while still allowing
voters to chart a new di-
rection when the majority
of council members and
mayor are up for election.
Somewhat the same ar-
rangement exists in the
three other quad commu-
nities, with council seats
and the mayor elected on
a rotating basis, electing a
portion of them at differ-
ent times. These configura-
tions match the description
of “laboratories of democ-
racy,” a phrase authored by
Justice Louis Brandeis of
the U.S. Supreme Court. In
the 1932 case New State Ice

uttered the no-size fits all
phrase recognizing that
states may, “if its citizens
choose, serve as a laborato-
ry and try novel social and
economic experiments,” or
solutions to recurring, of-
ten common issues.
Ironically, the Brandeis
quote was spoke in a case
in which the Supreme
Court struck down an
Oklahoma law that pro-
hibited the manufacture,
selling, and distributing
of ice without state licen-
sure, as violative of the due
process clause of the 14th
Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution. His remark
was made in a dissent, urg-
ing the court to uphold
the law as a valid “experi-
ment,” in government reg-
ulation. Although his col-
leagues did not concur, the
phrase became emblematic
of the concept of flexibility
allowing, indeed encourag-
ing variations in state and
local laws and governance
practices, which are richly
reflected in the experiences
here in the quad cities.
Example epitomized
The quad cities epito-
mize this tenet in how
their governing bodies
are structured. In Golden
Valley, governance is con-
ducted by a mayor, a coun-
cil consisting of four mem-
bers and a mayor, and its
aforementioned election
system.
The same system is used
in New Hope, where the
council, consisting of four
members and the mayor, is
also elected at-large, with
two positions up in 2022
and two more and the
mayor to be on the ballot
in 2024.

The Golden Valley City Council declared a mask mandate and
re-enacted a local emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic at a
Jan. 11 special meeting.
Mandate
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
“We may be done with COVID, but COVID isn’t
done with us,” he said.
Expectations and enforcement
According to the mandate, masks are required for
those in indoor public spaces, like a business, facility
or institution, regardless of vaccination status. Those
that are not able to medically tolerate a mask, or are
two years of age or less do not need to wear a mask.
Other exemptions will include athletes, performers and
support staff actively competing or performing.
Acceptable mask types include N95 KN95, surgical,
or cloth face coverings that cover the mouth and nose.
Enforcement is expected to run similarly to the pre-
vious mandate. Interim Police Chief Scott Nadeau
sending letters to owners of establishments that failed
to comply with the mandate. Nadeau said the depart-
ment could comply with additional requirements
set forth by the Golden Valley City Council, like re-
sponding to complaints of unmasked individuals, but
warned that it could challenge “limited resources” at
the department and could further escalate situations.
The Golden Valley City Council did not choose to add
requirements.
City meeting requirements loosened
The declaration will also allow greater flexibility
for members of boards and commissions to attend
meetings remotely. Without the emergency declara-
tion, members could participate remotely, but had to
physically be in a separate, public place, and needed to
disclose where they were located at the meeting.
The previous week, Rosenquist took part in her
oath of office virtually, from an empty room within
city hall, due to a COVID-19 exposure. She confirmed
to the council during her call Jan. 11 that she now had
COVID-19 symptoms and three of her children had
tested positive.
Because of these requirements without an emer-
gency declaration, the city’s Diversity, Equity and In-
clusion Commission had been unable to establish a
quorum since mid-November. If other commissions
were to have similar difficulties, like the Golden Valley
Planning Commission. Cisneros believed legal issues
could arise.
This is the second time Golden Valley passed a mask
mandate, but the first time one will actually take ef-
fect. The first mandate was passed July 2020, but was
superseded by an executive order from Gov. Tim Walz
the next day.
The last local emergency in the city lasted from
March 16, 2020 to July 1, 2021.

Robbinsdale Schools students out of schools, back online

District returns students to distance learning due to increased school absences
By ALAINA ROOKER
alaina.rooker@apgecm.com
Every school within the Robbinsdale
Area Schools system closed to students
for one week beginning Jan. 14.
The decision comes amid a surge in
COVID-19 cases in the county, state and
across the nation. School officials say
due to the spike, absences among staff
and students had been rising rapidly.
“We had hoped to continue with in-
person learning without disruption, but
many of our staff have tested positive
or are experiencing symptoms of COV-
ID-19,” officials wrote in a release. “The

Winkler previews ‘big questions’ in upcoming

legislative session with Golden Valley Council
House Majority Leader speaks with Golden Valley City Council during work session
By ALAINA ROOKER
alaina.rooker@apgecm.com
House Majority Leader
Ryan Winkler (DFL-
Golden Valley) provided a
legislative update to mem-
bers of the Golden Valley
City Council at its Jan. 11
work session. While pre-
viewing a not-yet-begun
session at the state capi-
tol is not an easy task,
Winkler told the council
that this session would
be particularly difficult
to divine. In his 15 years,
Winkler said he had never
had a more difficult time
making predictions.
“So many big questions
are up in the air, about pol-
icy, funding, politics, elec-
tions ... all those things are
big question marks,” said
Winkler.
Winkler represents
House District 46A,
which includes portions
of the cities of Golden
Valley, Plymouth, and
St. Louis Park. Sen. Ron
Latz (DFL-St. Louis
Park), who also represents
Golden Valley via Senate
District 46, was invited to
speak but declined to at-
tend.
Winkler said the first
hurdle the state legisla-
ture faced was an upcom-
ing redistricting decision
from the courts. The de-
cision, expected in mid-
February, will reconfigure
what areas state represen-
tatives and senators rep-
resent. Due to this, every
member of the House and
Senate is up for election
this fall. Winkler said an
unintended consequence
of redistricting was a re-
duced focus on the work
of the legislature and a
higher emphasis on poli-
ticians meeting with and
getting to know new vot-
ers.
A second hurdle was the
reality of hosting an elec-
tion of this scale during a
presidential midterm. Be-
cause a Democratic presi-
dent sits in office, Winkler
anticipated less motiva-
tion from his Republican
peers to collaborate across
party lines in 2022. He
believed the Republican
Party anticipated more
Republican lawmakers
joining their ranks in
2023, and so would prefer
to wait until then to intro-
duce and pass more favor-
able bills.
“Republicans feel like
they may have an advan-
tage, and that may be a
disincentive for them to
Ryan Winkler
come to the table and
want to make an agree-
ment with us,” he told the
council.
At the same time, Win-
kler listed several items
the legislature would be
tasked with this session,
including managing a
budget surplus that con-
tinued to surpass projec-
tions; working out the
state’s part in the federal
infrastructure bill, of
which guidance was slated
to arrive in June; and pos-
sibly do the same for the
Build Back Better bill,
which he said continued
to be an ongoing con-
versation in Washington,
D.C. He noted issues that
he prioritized, like child-
hood education, child-
care and paid family leave,
were a proposed compo-
nent of the Build Back
Better bill, which further
complicated his goals for
the 2022 session.
He said there was still
much to do, as COVID-19
continued to cause school

Being Well
January Issue
Robbinsdale couple lives busy, active lifestyle
By SUE WEBBER
Contributing Writer
A married couple from Rob-
binsdale has found separate, but
equally challenging ways to stay
active and in shape.
Marty Zanger spent his 34-
year career as a professor of
history at the University of
Wisconsin-LaCrosse.
After retirement from aca-
deme, he was a grant writer for
the Florida Philharmonic Or-
chestra in Ft. Lauderdale and
Catholic Charities in the Miami
Archdiocese.
In the 21 years since his re-
tirement, the 80-year-old has
competed as an athlete and has
amassed 43 medals in five states.
He now qualifies for the 2022
National Senior Games
The 2022 National Senior
Games will be held in Fort
Lauderdale from May 10-23. It
is the largest multi-sport cham-
pionship event in the world for
adults 50 and over, with more
than 10,000 qualified athletes
from every state expected to
compete in 23 different medal
sports.
Zanger plays basketball,
and he also excels in all kinds
of track and field events: high
jump, long jump, shot put and
discus.
“I try to stay fit,” said Zanger,
who is 6 feet 6 inches tall and
weighs 210 pounds. “I have a
self-concocted smoothie in the
morning, and I don’t eat fast
foods. It’s not a recent conver-
sion. I’ve done that all my life.
My dad was a health nut back
when it wasn’t even fashion-

able.”
Zanger participated in track
and field in high school, but
characterizes
himself as a young, non-
conforming “trouble-maker.”
“I went to a K-12 campus lab
school at Ball State University,
and they often experimented on
us with new teaching methods,”
Zanger said. “We had a lot of
student teachers. My school
didn’t have a football team.
Indiana, in those days, was all
about basketball.”
By the time he got to college,
earning bachelor’s, master’s,
and Ph.D.
degrees, he said, “I never cut
a class. I never used a sick leave
in 34 years of teaching either.”
Zanger said he did shot put
in high school, but claims he
first learned about the discus
on YouTube. “I had never held
a discus before,” he said. “I was
a tall guy with long arms, and
post.mnsun.com
Jan. 20, 2022
I watched a couple of videos
in regular and slow motion
and emulated the technique. I
had a friend who did shot put
and discus at the University of
Minnesota, and he watched me
practice and gave me some tips.”
Zanger’s wife, Susana di Pal-
ma, 74, is a professional chore-
ographer and flamenco dancer.
She owns Zorongo Flamenco
Dance Theater and School in
Minneapolis. “She has per-
formed all over the world,”
Zanger said. “She stays in shape,
and she encourages me to keep
up with her.”
According to her website,
Susana di Palma has studied
Spanish dance and flamen-
co since childhood and per-
formed throughout Spain. In
1982 she founded Zorongo
Flamenco Dance Theater in
Minneapolis. Di Palma’s full-
length theater-flamenco ballets

LIVELIFE
“Crest View was the best choice
I could’ve possibly made for Mom.”
Rosemary helped make several decisions about her mother’s care as dementia gradually changed mom’s
life from age 80 to 97. One of her best decisions, Rosemary says, was to relocate mom to memory care with
Crest View Senior Communities.

“The biggest thing is the staff,” Rosemary says. “They feel a sense of honor and privilege to help people at this
stage of their life.” Mom was surrounded by attentive people with loving attitudes. That extended to family
members, too, who staff warmly greeted at every visit.

Her mother was nocturnal. Up most of the night. Beyond protecting the sleep of others, staff didn’t restrict
her movement.

“Crest View staff joined her where she was in her mind, in her journey.”

Let us help you and your loved one on the journey. You’re not alone. Call us today to set up a personal tour.

From independent apartments and assisted living to memory care, care suites and skilled nursing,
Crest View Senior Communities are a best choice.

“We are focusing on one game

After that, we will start preparing

Elvis Nnaji, 6-foot-7 senior
forward, put on a show Jan. 15
in the Hopkins boys basketball
team’s 70-64 win at Spring Lake
Park as part of the Minnesota
High School Basketball Hall of
Fame Winter Classic.
Nnaji made four field goals in
the contest – all on slam dunks
– with an array of one-handers
and two-handers.
While the crowd on Hopkins’
side of the gym roared with ap-
proval, Royals head coach Kenny
Novak Jr. was more focused on
how his team’s 18-point lead
dwindled to only three points late
in the contest.
Hopkins pulled away at the
end with 6-4 senior guard Joshua
Hoffman swishing four straight
free throws.
“We still have a ways to go if
we’re going to win big games,”
Novak said. “At times, we played
well. At times, we didn’t share the
ball as much as we should. Spring
Lake Park is a talented team,
and we let them get back in the
game. They hit four 3-point shots
in a row. The good thing was, we
didn’t panic.”
The win over Spring Lake Park
was Hopkins’ third victory of the
week. The Royals handed Buffa-
lo its first loss of the season 71-63

Armstrong/Cooper girls hockey

Wings skate toward progress with eighth win of season

By ANTHONY IOZZO
anthony.iozzo@apgecm.com

Armstrong/Cooper girls hockey finished

winless last season and scored a total of 18
goals while allowing 105 goals.
Already in 2021-22, the Wings (8-10-1
overall, 0-6-1 Northwest Suburban Confer-
ence) are right around .500 with 53 goals
scored and 69 goals allowed in just one
more game played than last season.
Even in a 9-2 loss Jan. 11 against Cham-
plin Park/Coon Rapids at New Hope Ice
Arena, there were definite signs of some of
the improved areas on the team offensively
and defensively.
The Wings were down 2-0 at the end of
the first period but battled in the second pe-
riod and used a 5-on-3 penalty kill to gain
momentum.
Sophomore forward Elizabeth Brey was
put in the box for interference, and less
than two minutes later, sophomore forward
Ruby Monogue was also put in the penalty
box over interference.
The Rebels were already putting shots on
goal and looked to put the game away with
the two-player advantage, but Armstrong/
Cooper survived the half minute to get it
(SUN PHOTO BY ANTHONY IOZZO) back to a 5-on-4.

O’Hara led Hopkins with 16

points in Saturday’s win over
Spring Lake Park. Eighth-grade
guard Jayden Moore added 14,
while senior guard Tyrell Sap-
pington had 12 and junior guard
Max Wilson netted 11. Close to
double figures were Hoffman
with nine and Nnaji with eight.
The previous night, in the win
over Eden Prairie, four Roy-
als scored in double figures –
O’Hara with 21, Nnaji with 14,
Sappington with 12 and Moore
with 11. Wilson added seven
points.
Balance was apparent in the
win over Buffalo, as well. Nn-
aji and Moore each scored 16
points. Wilson had 15 points,
and O’Hara checked in with 14.
Hoffman added five, and Rus-
sell Bullock had three.
“We have work to do,” Novak
said. “But there are bright spots.
CJ is a very efficient player. He
lets the game come to him, and
he is playing better defensively.
Jayden Moore is a starter now.
He is not afraid to attack the
basket and generally passes the
ball pretty well.”

And that’s when senior
forward Paige Loidolt
made a nice play to get
down the ice for a 1-on-1
chance. Loidolt, who has
10 goals and 10 assists
so far through 19 games,
didn’t let the opportunity
get away, burying the puck
in the net for the short-
handed goal.
The Wings still had to
kill off the rest of the pen-
alty and did, and the of-
fensive pressure also didn’t

man Claire Hanson had
a shot saved, and Loidolt

turnover and rushed down
the ice for a 1-on-1 before
being pushed from behind
and getting awarded the
penalty shot.
College came through in
a big moment with a nice
shot that ricocheted off
the stick side of freshman
goalie Madelyn Wostrel
and into the net for a 2-2 tie.
The Rebels tried to re-
gain momentum quickly
with several chances with
traffic in front of the net,
but the Wings were able to
clear the puck a few times.
And sophomore goalie
Emma Kahl made a save
that went over the glass and
out of play.
But Champlin Park/
Armstrong/Cooper junior defenseman Clare Sondrall skates through the neutral zone Jan. 11 against
Champlin Park/Coon Rapids at New Hope Ice Arena.
Coon Rapids broke the tie
on a goal by senior forward
Abby Ness on a rebound,
and three more goals were
scored to push the deficit to
6-2 after two periods.
The Rebels took a 7-2
lead early in the third pe-
riod, but the Wings didn’t
give up at that point.
Monogue forced a turn-
over, and junior forward
Cara Cook had three shots,
one blocked.
Freshman forward/de-
fender Anna Rausch also
had a shot, and Kahl was
able to make three saves on
a Rebels’ power play.
Junior defenseman Clare
Sondrall also had a shot on
goal that was saved.
Kahl finished with 23
saves, and the Wings had
12 shots on goal.
