RELAX: Café soothes those with memory loss BY MEGAN BERGMAN NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
Caring for loved ones who have developed a disease associated with memory loss can be overwhelming and isolating. Struggling to comprehend research and resources while caring for a family member can be an intimidating task. A group in Isanti County is determined to break down those walls that surround the stigma around the increasing population of those affected by dementia in their own community.
The Cambridge ACT on Alzheimer’s group will be hosting an open house for the new Memory Café in Isanti. The café is open to any person who may be affected by varying forms of dementia and their care partners. A Memory Café in Cambridge has already been meeting since 2017. The monthly café offers a relaxed setting for those with memory loss and their caregivers to share their stories and socialize with others, to enjoy coffee and treats and special activities or learning opportunities.
A COMMUNITY INITIATIVE The Cambridge ACT group was born from an initiative of genuine concern for the growing population of families who were caring for a loved one with varying forms of dementia. “In 2013 we came together as a community,” explained ACT member Julie Tooker, “– all sorts of members from city offices, county offices, sheriff, police and Allina – to come together to see what we could do to make our community more dementia-friendly.” SEE CAFE, PAGE 8

Isanti council approves purchase of police squad and body cameras stating he was the officer who conducted a 3-month study using body cameras. He stated this is something the city needs to protect its officers and its citizens, and he hopes the city strongly supports the new policy.
BY JENNIFER KOTILA NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
The Isanti Police Department is one step closer to every police officer wearing body cameras and every squad car having cameras after the May 7 Isanti city council meeting. During the meeting, a public hearing took place regarding the city’s draft policy for body-worn cameras for police officers. A vote on the resolution will take place at a later meeting. Also at the meeting, the council approved the purchase of squad car and body camera equipment from the company Watchguard. The cost of the equipment is not to exceed $65,000. Former Isanti police officer Roderick Barrows spoke during the public hearing,

We shall never forget their sacrifices to keep the peace Members of the Isanti County Sheriff’s Office, Minnesota State Patrol and Isanti Police Department place a wreath at the feet of the sign for fallen state patrol officer Timothy Bowe, who died while assisting Chisago County on a call. The wreaths, which were placed in honor of the four Isanti County officers who died in the line of duty on Law Enforcement Memorial Day, were purchased by the Isanti County Law Enforcement Association.

Home Health & Hospice

Your local, trusted care provider
Home Care Home care offers supportive services wherever you call home. Caregivers work with patients, their families and physicians to develop individualized care plans that may include skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, assistive technology, home health aides and 24/7 livein care. Services may also include medication management, wound care, mobility strengthening, foot care, transportation and light housekeeping.
Our professional Home Health and Hospice staff will work with you and your physician to provide the high quality care you need, with a personal touch.
Services are appropriate when: • support is needed to transition from hospitalization to home or a skilled nursing facility. • there is an overall decline in cognitive skills affecting a person’s ability to make decisions regarding their safety. • help is needed with daily activities. • there is a new medical diagnosis or major change in the state of health. • a person may be socially isolated and in need of companionship. Costs are covered through Medicare (on a short-term basis), or Medicaid, Veterans benefits, private insurance and private pay. Agencies will work with patients and their caregivers to determine the appropriate payment source.
We are family owned since 1976 and a Medicare certified agency.
Hospice The right time for hospice will be different for each person. Hospice care is a personalized program that provides medical, emotional, social and spiritual support for patients with a limited life expectancy. Care is provided to people with a life expectancy of six months or less but doesn’t mean death must come within six months. Hospice care requires certification by the attending physician and hospice medical director—emphasizing living remaining days as fully as possible in comfort and dignity.
Call us for more information.
Members of the hospice team make the patient and family the center of all decisions. The hospice team provides support, teaching and expertise to help the family provide needed care. Services can be provided in a private home, long-term care facility or other residence. Hospice teams provide relief from physical, spiritual and emotional pain that often accompany a limited life expectancy. Teams include the patient and family, primary care physician, medical director, social worker, registered nurse, certified nursing assistants, pharmacist, massage therapist, music therapist, spiritual counselor, bereavement counselor and volunteers.

MAY 16, 2019
Farewell, old friend This past weekend, I experienced the loss of a trusted friend – my Canon 70D camera. I was just beginning to shoot a Cambridge-Isanti boys tennis match when my camera gave an “error 20” message. After doing the usual “techie” troubleshooting of the camera (namely, turn it off, turn it on, take the batteries completely out, take the lens off, etc.) to no avail, I had to resort to the good old “google it,” which resulted in the worst answer I could get – “shutter malfunction.” In general terms, the shutter is what allows a camera to take a picture. Think of it almost like reverse blinking. When people blink, they briefly don’t Worth a see anything. For a camera, the shutter Thousand is like your eyelids, but they are closed until you take a photo, where it briefly Words “blinks” open to expose the sensor to light, thus taking a photo. Needless to Bill say, it’s kind of hard to take a picture if Stickels III the camera’s shutter refuses to “blink.” This loss didn’t come as a total surprise. That camera’s expected “lifespan” was estimated to be around 100,000 photos. While I don’t have a total count, based on just a rough estimate, my camera easily had over that amount just in sports photos from C-I and North Branch. Then there’s other sports shoots that I did for other people, plus all the non-sports shoots. All told, it has to come to well over 150,000 images, if not closer to 200,000. While it wasn’t a surprise, it did sting a bit. I’ve had that camera for around 5 1/2 years, and the two of us have been through quite a bit together. We’ve suffered through extreme cold and heat, heavy rains and snows, and even rigorous indoor conditions like humid pools, dry, cold hockey arenas and chalk-filled gymnasiums. The two of us have witnessed plenty of highs and lows in those years. We’ve captured the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat and everything in-between. In the process, we’ve captured some incredible images that people have viewed and shared over and over again. We even managed to win a total of three Minnesota Newspaper Association awards together. Given that history, there develops a bond between photographer and camera. Last fall when I was bowled over during a Bluejacket football game, my first thought was if my camera got damaged, followed by if I had been damaged. Other photographers get that bond. When I posted about my camera’s death on Facebook, a majority of my photographer friends responded with their semi-serious condolences for my loss. But, life does go on, and in this case, I had to quickly move on from my loss. I had planned on shooting a North Branch softball double-header that afternoon, so I had to do some quick searching for its replacement. Luckily, I found a compatible camera in Roseville, which gave me just enough time to buy it and immediately start using it at the first game. Only time will tell if this new camera fills the huge shoes of my now-departed friend. But in its debut, it at least looks like it can hold its own, with maybe a couple improvements. At the very least, I can just hope that given everything I will be putting it through, it lasts me a good five-plus years like its predecessor. RIP Canon 70D, long live Canon 80D.

GUEST COLUMN
How to reduce risk of tick-borne illness BY UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA UNEWS@UMN.EDU
Dr. Jon Oliver with the University of Minnesota School of Public Health answers questions about where ticks are most prevalent, what people should do to avoid them and what people should do if they find a tick on themselves. Where are ticks most prevalent? Dr. Oliver: Deer ticks require a refuge with a high humidity level, such as the forest leaf layer, so they are most often found in forested areas. Deer ticks are spreading and becoming more common. They are now found in every forested county in the state. Even in prairie areas, deer carry deer ticks to patches of forested habitat, so people should be vigilant for ticks after visiting any forested area in Minnesota. Adult deer ticks are active in the spring (April through June) and the fall (September through November) when temperatures are above freezing and there is no snow. Immature nymphs are considered more of a disease risk because they are smaller and harder to notice, so they often remain attached and feed for longer. They are mostly active in May through July in Minnesota. UNIVERSITY OF MN | STAFF
What can people do to avoid getting ticks? Dr. Oliver: Tick-borne diseases are more easily prevented than cured. Insect repellents that contain DEET are also effective at repelling ticks. If you spend a lot of time in tick habitats, it may be worth treating a suit of clothes with permethrin, a repellent/insecticide that works on ticks. The bacteria that cause Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases usually take hours to enter your body after a tick attaches to feed. Daily tick checks will greatly reduce your chance of getting Lyme disease even if you are bitten. What should someone do if they find a tick on them? Dr. Oliver: If you find a tick biting you, use tweezers to grab the tick by its mouthparts where they enter your skin. Pull the tick straight off. Avoid crushing its body. After a tick bite, be mindful of your body’s health. If you develop a rash or flu-like symptoms, visit your doctor and tell him or her about the tick bite.
What are you doing to advance research on ticks? Dr. Oliver: With the goal of enhancing human health and reducing human exposure to tick-borne diseases, my research focuses on the interactions of ticks and the bacteria they carry as well as the distribution of ticks on the landscape of the Upper Midwest. New diseases are discovered relatively often in Minnesota’s deer ticks, and our lab is working to find out how and where new diseases arise. In the future, scientists may be able to manipulate ticks to limit their spread to new places or their ability to carry and transmit pathogens, such as the bacteria that cause Lyme disease.
JON OLIVER is an assistant professor in the University of Minnesota School of Public Health. His areas of expertise include vector-borne diseases, infectious diseases, ticks, mosquitoes and Lyme disease.

Chisago County K-9 unit visits Phoenix Academy CONTRIBUTED PHOENIX ACADEMY
Blaring sirens, police dog demonstrations and photos with the K-9 dog were the highlights of the afternoon for students at the Phoenix Academy Charter School in North Branch. On Tuesday, May 13, a K-9 unit from the Chisago County Sheriff’s Office visited Phoenix Academy students with Deputy Chad Stenson and K-9 Stryker, and Deputy Dustin Swenson, who handles K-9 Recon. “The kids enjoyed a presentation and demonstrations of the different tools used by police officers (i.e. bullet-proof vests, stop sticks and other pieces of equipment),” said Lauren
Gilkerson, Phoenix Academy teacher and parent. It gave the students an upfront look at the ways in which law enforcement use K-9 officers in the field. “The officers were great!” said Carlo Galeazzi, Phoenix Academy founder. “Very personable and patient. I know our students really enjoyed all of the demonstrations and gained an appreciation for what these local heroes do for our community each day.” The Phoenix Academy is a tuition-free public charter school in North Branch.

The Pine County Sheriff’s Office has released its final report on the investigation into the boat accident that caused the death of Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn. According to previous reports from the Pine County Sheriff’s Office and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, on April 19 at about 7:44 p.m. Pine County dispatchers received a call from anglers fishing on the shore of Cross Lake. The witnesses reported a possible human body in the water. Wynn and Sergeant Scott Grice of the Pine County Sheriff’s Office joined other deputies in responding to the scene. They were not able to determine what the object in the water was from the shore, and decided it was necessary to approach the object by boat. According to the final report released this past week, at 8:25 p.m., Wynn and Pine County Sergeant Scott Grice were in Wynn’s boat while Pine County Deputy Cody LaRoue backed Wynn’s truck to the water to launch the boat. The plan was to drive the boat in a loop and circle back to pick up LaRoue. The report states that Wynn accelerated the boat away from shore and then suddenly made an abrupt left turn. The boat corrected and both Wynn and Grice were thrown from the boat. The boat continued on its course until it beached on the west side of Cross Lake. It traveled about 800 feet on the water and about 50 feet onto land. Witnesses on the southeast side of the lake and Deputy LaRoue saw the two officers in the water and LaRoue went to the neighboring property to use a rowboat that was on the shore. Before he could reach Grice, Wynn was under the water. LaRoue attempted to paddle the boat and assist Grice with holding onto the boat. Deputy Aaron Quesenberry used a pedal boat to attempt to assist in the rescue and ultimately ended up in the rowboat while LaRoue held onto Grice. The two deputies were able to get Grice to shore where he was transported to Firstlight Hospital in Mora. Grice was treated and released for temperature-related injuries. Property owners on the lake reported seeing large chunks of ice floating on
‘Accients happen very quickly, even to the very welltrained and experienced. The safety devices only work if people put them to use before an accident happens’ incident report Pine County Sheriff’s Office the lake until the evening of April 20. It is unknown if the evasive maneuver was related to debris on the lake, but no parties report hearing an impact while the boat was on the water. The surface temperature of the water was in the low 40s. The boat is owned by the Minnesota DNR and is a 2004 River Pro with an inboard jet drive. The Coast Guard inspection did not identify any abnormalities to the boat that would have contributed to the accident. There were two life jackets in the boat at the time of the accident, but the officers were not wearing them. The Star Tribune has reported that it is policy for both DNR officers and Pine County deputies to wear life jackets, but Minnesota law does not require life jacket use for adults. The Pine County Sheriff’s Office report urged those who enjoy the natural resources in Pine County to use all safety devices that are appropriate, including life jackets, helmets, seatbelts, and tree stand safety harnesses. “Accidents happen very quickly, even to the very well-trained and experienced,” the report stated. “The safety devices only work if people put them to use before an accident happens. In this case the officers were thrown from the boat within a minute of being on the water and were not able to continue swimming within minutes. ATV crashes and tree stand falls happen as quickly with similar unfortunate outcomes. We wish to express our continued support for the family and the deep sense of loss of a partner and friend.” The investigation was led by the Pine County Sheriff’s Office and included several witness interviews and a watercraft inspection by the U.S. Coast Guard.

Employers can offer relief to caregiving employees with new program CONTRIBUTED FAIRVIEW HEALTH SERVICES
Fairview Health Services is launching a service for employers to combat the burden a growing number of adults experience juggling the duties of caregiving with other obligations. In January the Harvard Business School released a report entitled “The Caring Company,” calling on companies to recognize the impact caregiving is having on American workplaces. The report found that 73 percent of employees reported having some type of caregiving responsibility, and explains how these responsibilities ultimately cost employers in the form of absenteeism, presenteeism, and reduced productivity. Moreover, one in three employees admitted to voluntarily leaving a job because of caregiving responsibilities, creating costs for companies as they manage turnover, lose institutional knowledge and train new employees. In 2017, Fairview launched Caregiver Assurance, a consumer service focused on the needs of individuals caring for an aging loved one. Soon after, it began offering a six-month subscription to its own employees as a benefit. Now, Fairview is making the service available to other employers looking to provide resources for caregivers as part of their own benefits packages. Caregiver Assurance gives members direct access to licensed social workers trained to advise and support adults navigating the responsibilities of caring for an aging loved one. These caregiver advisors take the guesswork out of things like financial planning, home safety and maintenance, and health care coordination. They provide counsel and manage research and logistics on the caregiver’s behalf to help relieve burdens caused by increasing or

unfamiliar, tasking responsibilities. When caregivers have too many competing responsibilities, their struggles show up in the workplace in the form of stress, extended breaks to juggle phone calls and appointments, and unplanned absences. PROGRAM FULFILLS CAREGIVING NEEDS Caregiver Assurance advisors fulfill different needs for caregivers: · Support: Caregivers need to focus on their own self-care, which is why Caregiver Assurance advisors offer emotional support, guidance on stress management, and advice on financial planning or family counseling services. Advisors are available during evening and weekend hours. · Connect: Caregiver Assurance advisors can help caregivers connect to health care services as their senior’s health needs change, from home health care to assisted living to hospice care and more. Caregiver advisors are not part of a medical care team, but with their knowledge and experience, they can be valuable partners to caregivers as they navigate the health systems and
Outstanding compliance awards given to local entities CONTRIBUTED MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY
FIVE STAR STORIES
METRO CREATIVE GRAPHICS
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has recognized 334 Minnesota wastewater treatment facilities for maintaining outstanding permit compliance from October 2017 through September 2018. Included in the list are awards to Cambridge Wastewater Treatment Plant, Harris WWTP, Isanti WWTP, Linwood Terrace in Wyoming and North Branch WWTP. The MPCA’s Deputy Commissioner Peter Tester presented the certificates and praised award recipients for their persistent work and dedication to protecting water quality. To be eligible for this recognition, facilities were required to submit all reports
to the MPCA correctly and on time, demonstrate consistent compliance through monitoring, operations, and maintenance, and employ staff certified by the MPCA in wastewater operations. The awards were presented at the 82nd Annual Wastewater Operations Conference in Brooklyn Park. The annual conference brings together wastewater operators from Minnesota for training and professional education. In Minnesota, there are about 1,600 municipal and industrial wastewater treatment facilities. Community, institution or treatment plant size was not a factor in awarding the certificates. A complete list of winners is available on the MPCA’s Wastewater Treatment Facility Operations Award webpage at www.pca.state.mn.us.
prepare for conversations with their senior’s medical providers. · Research: Caregiver Assurance advisors can research different options for various needs and services such as meal deliveries, snow removal, housekeeping, and more, helping make the decision process easier for the caregiver. Caregivers can always access the research and recommendations through a secure, online portal. The AARP estimates that caregiving costs employers $28 billion annually in lost productivity (“Valuing the Invaluable”). Caregiver Assurance gives employers a tool to help prevent these costs from adding up in their own organization. Caregiver Assurance is the latest offering from Fairview in its Employer Solutions portfolio, a suite of programs designed to meet workplace health needs and help employers manage costs. Fairview Employer Solutions’ other customizable offerings include on-site clinics, a virtual care platform, employee assistance and behavioral health programs, and comprehensive one-day executive physicals through University of Minnesota Health.

Troutlily Fest raises money to fight area CAFE: Visit Isanti Memory Café open house May 23 homelessness FROM PAGE I
Taking on projects and outreach events to draw families out of the shell of isolation was very important to the group. The group asked themselves, “Why are we keeping people with dementia in back rooms (so to speak) or keeping them at home because we are afraid there may be an outburst or behavior?” Based on the answer to that question, Tooker, Vicki Ostrom, Gail Sederski and Peggy Carpenter set out to form the Memory Café meeting once a month in Cambridge. Strengthening the community’s understanding of dementia and how to care for them has been the foundation of the group’s work, and Tooker knows it takes hard work. “We have been working really hard to make this a community that helps accept people where they are at,” she said. MEMORY CAFÉ ESTABLISHED Many of the facilitators at the cafés come from a viewpoint of understanding and compassion because they have experienced the emotions of loving a person with dementia. Vicki Ostrom, resident of Cambridge and cochair of the Memory Café team, knows all too well the effects of dementia on family members. “My sister died of Alzheimer’s at the age of 57,” Ostrom reflected. “She was a professor at Bethel University and was diagnosed with the early onset of Alzheimer’s. After that, my mom was diagnosed with it.” When asked to take on the task of starting the Cambridge Memory Café that began in 2017, Ostrom hesitated taking on such a heavy responsibility. “I wasn’t sure I would have the emotional stamina to do it,” she said. “But I thought it was the right thing to do, because I thought no one would understand it as much as I did. But we find now that everybody does, because everybody has some personal connection to it.” MEMORY CAFÉ COMES TO ISANTI Receiving funds from the Neighborhood Grant from Allina, plans for the Memory Café in Isanti came to life. Spirit River Community Center stepped in and offered the space for the café. Gail Sederski, outreach coordinator for the center, knew the importance of a relief program such as this. “My dad also had dementia,” she said, “so this is near and dear to my heart. This program is so
great, and Vicki just knows how to engage them. How can you not care when you see that the care partners are struggling?” The Isanti Café will have another twist to it besides socialization activities. “It’ll be a little more educational than the Cambridge one,” Ostrom said. “We are going to give them opportunities to hear from guest speakers – pharmacists talking about medication, dietitians talking about diet and so on. Gail is going to lead some stretching and breathing activities at every session as well.”
‘This program is so great, and Vicki just knows how to engage them. How can you not care when you see that the care partners are struggling?’

First Tech Challenge (FTC) teams in North Branch are now being organized for the 2019-2020 school year and are open to any student who will be in grades 7-9 in the fall. There will be up to five teams of 6-8 members per team. “The number of teams we have will be dependent on the number of volunteer mentors we have,” said Becky Leuer, who is assisting with team organization. “It is a great experience for kids, and there
is the possibility of having an all-girls team as well.” Leuer said adult mentors are needed. Training is provided, and no previous robotics experience is necessary. The season runs from September to January, requiring one to two days per week. For youth or adults interested in robotics, email NBFTC@isd138.org as soon as possible. The goal is to form teams before the end of this school year. More information is also available at North Branch Middle School.

Ask A Trooper: Is it illegal to block rear license plate or tail lights with bicycle carriers? Question: What is the law regarding fastening bike carriers and other items to the back of a vehicle which block the ability to read the rear license plate? Answer: It is illegal if any part of the taillight or license plate is blocked by a bike, carrier or any other object. A vehicle built after 1960 must have two red tail lights that are plainly visible at 500 feet to the rear, and the license plate must be displayed in a manner that the view of any plate or permit is not Ask a obstructed. A rear end crash could occur Trooper when other vehicles can’t see the taillights. Please make sure that Sgt. Neil your license plate and taillights are Dickenson visible at all times. Find other options on where to place bigger objects on or in a vehicle so the rear taillights and license plate can be seen at all times.
Another safety issue that we see on our roads is when cargo is not secured. Make sure you properly secure all items that could potentially come out of your vehicle and potentially cause a crash behind you. Make sure that tie-down straps are tight and secure and keep an eye on your trailer and cargo while traveling. In the event that any item comes off a vehicle while in motion, the driver can be cited for an unsecured load, and could be liable for any civil actions that result in property damage or injury to other motorists that are trying to avoid and/or strike the unsecured item. A video on how to secure your load can be viewed on Youtube; search “Travel Reminder: Secure Your Loaded Cargo.” Sgt. Neil Dickenson is Minnesota State Patrol Public Information Officer for the state’s northeast region.

While finishing second in the Section 5AAA meet, which was held at Cambridge-Isanti High School on Tuesday, May 7, the Jackets’ results were good enough to receive one of the “wild card” spots, which are given to the four teams who finished second through fifth in their section meet, but whose results were good enough to place in the top four of a “paper meet.” The paper meet takes the results from the section meet and compares it directly against the other teams, as if all those teams competed at the same meet. Cambridge-Isanti got big points from Dylan Jones, who took first place in the 100 and 200. C-I also got first-place finishes from Ethan Hintermeister (pole vault) and Blaze Krueger (shot put) and the 4x100 relay team. Aidan Brown (high jump) and Ryley Nelson (shot put) added second-place finishes.
GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD The C-I girls team took fifth place in their True Team meet, just a point and a half behind fourth place Spring Lake Park. C-I’s lone first-place finish came from Char Morke in the pole vault, who in clearing 12 feet, easily outdid the rest of the competition by a foot. The Jackets got several second-place finishes, with Kaylee Clement achieving the feat in both the 100 and 200, Jessica Illg taking second in the 400 and AnnaGrace Nelson doing the same in the high jump.
BOYS TENNIS All of the rain-outs have created a log-jam of matches for the Jackets as they attempt to squeeze in as many meets as possible before section competition begins on Thursday, May 16. Last week, C-I played in six matches in one week, with one final match taking place on Tuesday, May 14.
In those six matches, the Jackets performed excellently, winning five while only dropping one. In conference play, the team shut out St. Francis 7-0 and edged past Rogers 4-3. They followed that up with identical 6-1 wins against Blaine, Grand Rapids/ Greenway and Forest Lake. Their lone defeat came at the hands of Anoka, by a close 4-3 score. C-I finished the regular season with a 13-6 record after defeating North Branch 5-2 on Tuesday, May 14. Seedings for the Section 7AA tournament had not been made when this edition went to press. BASEBALL C-I doubled their season win total last week, compiling a 2-2 record during the busy week. The two losses came via shutout, with the Jackets falling to Chisago Lakes 11-0 and Rogers 10-0. Those losses were sandwiched by satisfying wins against North Branch 7-3 and St. Anthony Village 2-0. In the shutout win, C-I got a dominant pitching performance from Jared Bruss, who gave up only two hits to earn the complete game win. That, coupled with Seth Leaf’s home run in the fourth inning, was all the Jackets needed. The Jackets insurance run came when Gaven Ziebarth raced from second to home on an infield ground ball putout at first. GIRLS GOLF During a raw, windy day in St. Cloud, the Jackets did their coach proud by finishing with the best results C-I has ever achieved at that course, shooting a team score of 367, good enough for fifth out of 13 teams. MollyAnn Harvey placed third overall with her score of 82, with teammate Jasmyn Sibell’s 85 coming in seventh overall. “These are the kinds of days where I realize I am very fortunate to be coaching a fantastic group of players,” head coach Steve Hanson proclaimed. SOFTBALL C-I’s struggles continued, with the team falling four times last week. The week started with the Jackets tied with North

Anglers encouraged to eat smaller sunnies CONTRIBUTED MN DEPT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
Feeling that tug on the line, an angler sets the hook and reels in a small sunfish, then asks the perennial question: “Should I keep it?” Sunfish, also known as bluegills and pumpkinseeds, are a go-to species for anglers looking for a meal, and many anglers may be surprised to know they’re actually encouraged to keep small ones up to the limit set by the Department of Natural Resources. These fish are nutritious and safe to eat regularly, according to consumption guidelines from the Department of Health. “We encourage anglers to keep sunfish under 7 inches and consider releasing the ones 9 inches or larger,” said Jon Hansen, fisheries management
consultant. “This is opposite of what many anglers grew up hearing, but it’s good news for anyone who wants high odds of bringing home a meal of local, healthy food.” Small sunfish are plentiful and easier to catch than large ones. Keeping small ones has little impact on populations. In contrast, when anglers keep only the large sunfish, which are usually males guarding nests, the small males remaining in the population don’t have any need to compete with larger males to spawn and instead of growing, they devote their energy to spawning at younger ages. After ice-out, sunfish move into shallow, warmer water to eat and later spawn. After spawning they can be found loitering near aquatic plants or near docks. Sunfish can be caught readily throughout the state and seasons
are open all year. Fish are a good source of protein. For pregnant women, fish contain healthy fats that are important for a developing fetus and eating fish can lower the risk of heart disease. A person can’t always tell if fish are safe to eat by looking at them, or even by how clean the water appears. The Minnesota Department of Health helps bridge this information gap by providing fish consumption guidelines based on fish species, waterbody, and exposure risk for different types of people. In general, sunfish have lower levels of mercury than other fish; however, fish from some waters have other contaminants that impact the guidelines. For sunfish, statewide guidelines are one meal per week for women who are or may become pregnant and children under 15, and the guidelines don’t ad-
vise any limit to the number of sunfish meals others should eat. Anglers should check for site-specific advice that pertains to the water they’re fishing. If eating fish from a variety of waters or a specific water isn’t listed, anglers should follow the statewide guidelines. Both site-specific and statewide guidance on eating fish can be found at bit.ly/FishConsumptionGuidanceMN. Minnesota is home to a variety of fish in addition to sunfish that anglers can harvest and enjoy eating, including popular species like crappie, northern pike, walleye, catfish and bass. Anglers can find fish consumption advice for lakes, angling information, lake survey reports and more on the DNR LakeFinder at mndnr.gov/ lakefinder.

Angling for new (and old) adventures When it comes to fishing, one could build a very strong case that lasting enjoyment arises from a blend of the old and the new. Success stories are told over and over to groups of family and friends, and the tales, while occasionally stretched to hard-to-imagine dimensions, seem to neither get stale nor tiresome. At the same time, anglers, like athletes just beginning a new season, are among the most forward-looking people in the world. Past success certainly provides Loren W. plenty of promise just Brabec prior to the annual fishing opener. W anglers l h We harbor at least two common feelings at this time of the year: 1) a great anticipation of the thrills we will likely experience when we again take to the open water; and, 2) the excitement of knowing there are lunkers out there somewhere with our names on them. As readers of my column might already know, the men and boys in the Brabec family celebrate the fishing opener together on the property my grandfather purchased in 1958. Just knowing that was 61 years ago should indicate to you that, in addition to the numerous traditional activities that we conduct, there have been many changes there. For example, the outdoor two-holer was converted years ago to a storage shed for shovels and other long-handled items. Docks and pontoons occasionally get replaced, and new fishing rods, reels and tackle get bought and scrutinized. However, key elements of the overall experience have resisted change, even triumphed over it, and the stories surrounding them are just as potent and meaningful to us who have been privileged to be part of the past several decades of enjoyment. Among these stubborn relics is the over-
the-top nonchalance with which many in the family approach fishing. That is, when they finally get around to it! Oh, I know there is a scientific side to the pursuit of all things finned, but let’s face it, we can have a good time without all the expensive gadgets designed to take advantage of the latest scientific research. Maybe you didn’t expect that from a former science teacher! That doesn’t matter. The art of fishing resides in the grace of the lure presentation, the thoughtfulness of the various strategies, and the stepped-up heartbeat that accompanies the catch when simple tactics are successful. These things never get old, and it’s beyond fun when I see a young 6-10-year-old family member sorting through his tackle box while confidently expounding on his projected success rate with this or another lure. Get skunked? Not him! We celebrated the opener this past weekend. Our group of 13 ranged in age from six to 67 and included one “rookie.” Certainly, there is a rich blend of old and new fishing experiences among members of such a gang. The weather was decent, and the wind wasn’t a constant blowhard like it’s been on some openers. The food, the conversation, the music and the campfire were predictably wonderful. Oh, and the fishing was not bad at all, considering many in the group hardly wet a line! What more could you ask for? So think of the new and the old when you’re out fishing this summer and fall. Consider the many fishing factors that bring fun to your family and to your life. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature, and savor the company of family and friends that share this common, wonderful activity. And always remember: Be safe. Be careful. Be aware. Loren Brabec is a contributing sports writer for the Isanti-Chisago County Star and author of several Braham sports books.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 The more you take on, the more support you need, Aries. You can benefit from a mentor or consultant who has the expertise to help you get where you need to go.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 It’s alright to cede a little control this week, Libra. Delegating and sharing responsibilities can open your eyes to the talented people around you. Don’t feel guilty about taking on less work.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Others understand that you’re the go-to when things need fixing, Taurus. You have the ability to help in any situation. Embrace this talent and help others as much as you can.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 You are a creative force who inspires others to take up their own projects or follow their hearts, Scorpio. Expect others to recognize your influence and express their appreciation.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Listen to your gut, Gemini. If you do so, others will follow your lead. It is time to step up and take charge. Don’t worry, you will not need to justify all the decisions you make.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, take a step back and slow down the pace if you find you have been spreading yourself too thin. This is not giving up, but taking a break.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You must be very honest in your relationships this week, Cancer. Don’t confuse opinions with the truth. Maintain an open dialogue with others around you.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Some pretty big ideas may inspire you to do some impressive things, Capricorn. You just need to find an investor and put some firm plans on paper.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Guessing will only get you so far, Leo. Instead, you must base decisions off fact and forethought; otherwise, you may end up having to do everything all over.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 It can be challenging to be productive if your house isn’t in order, Aquarius. Give your personal life some attention and tend to affairs that may have been on the back burner for awhile.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Take a break from alone time and make reservations for dinner for two or more, Virgo. Socializing is invaluable and can have a positive, long-lasting effect on your relationships.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, take charge of a mission by encouraging others to stay focused on the task at hand. You need to be the ringleader and set an example for others to follow.

The Commissioner of the Department of Education Review and Comment on the School Construction Proposal of Cambridge-Isanti Public Schools, ISD #0911-01
A review and comment must be provided on a construction project proposal before the school district solicits bids for the project. A project proposal has been submitted for review and comment according to requirements set forth in Minnesota Statutes, section 123B.71, subdivisions 9 and 10, and Minnesota Statutes, section 123B.72. The school district provides the following information: The geographic area and population to be served preschool through grade 12 student enrollment for the past five years, and student enrollment projections for the next five years. A list of existing school facilities by year constructed, their uses, and an assessment of the extent to which alternate facilities are available within school district boundaries and in adjacent school districts. A list of specific deficiencies of the facility demonstrating the need for a new or renovated facility to be provided, the process used to determine the deficiencies, a list of those deficiencies that will and will not be addressed by the proposed projects, a list of specific benefits that the new or renovated facility will provide to students, teachers, and community users served by the facility. A description of the project including: specifications of site and outdoor space acreage, square footage allocations for classrooms, laboratories and support spaces, estimated expenditures for major portions of the project, estimated changes in facility operating costs, dates the project will begin and completed. A specification of the source of project financing including: applicable statutory citations, the scheduled date for a bond issue or school board action, a schedule of payments, including debt service equalization aid, and the effect of a bond issue on local property taxes by property class and valuation. Documentation obligating the school district and contractors to comply with the following items: section 471.345 governing municipal contracts, sustainable design, school facility commissioning under section 123B.72, certifying the plans and designs for heating, ventilating, air conditioning and air filtration for an extensively renovated or new facility meet or exceed current code standards, including ASHRAE air filtration standard 52.1, ANSI acoustical performance criteria, design requirements and guidelines for schools on maximum background noise levels and reverberation times, state fire code, chapter 326B governing building codes, and consultation with affected government units about the impact of the project on utilities, roads, sewers, sidewalks, retention ponds, school bus and automobile traffic, access to mass transit and safe access for pedestrians and cyclists. Description of Proposed School Construction Project Cambridge-Isanti Public Schools (C-I), ISD, #0911-01, is proposing the construction of a new, 35,600 square foot facility to house the District’s setting IV special education students, alternative learning students, and transitions program students on a 60 acre, district-owned site. Setting IV special education students are currently being served by the Rum River Special Education Cooperative while alternative learning and transitions program students are currently housed in the Education Services Center. The district conducted a comprehensive facility study and convened a facility task force in 2016-17 which found that the space for the alternative learning and transitions program students were overcapacity and inadequate. The site for the proposed facility was originally acquired by the school
district with the intent of constructing a middle school. Subsequent site analysis revealed buildability concerns with a significant portion of the site, rendering the site unsuitable for the construction of a middle school. A 20 acre portion of the 60 acre site has been identified as suitable for construction of the proposed facility. The 2016-17 facility task force recommendations called for shorter term building additions or the long term replacement of Cambridge Intermediate School; the oldest school building and the one in most need of replacement. At the high school, the relocation of existing special education space and the need for more gym space were identified by the task force. The construction of a new school building on the 60 acre, district-owned site was not part of the task force’s recommendations. The annual operating and maintenance costs of the new facility are projected to be $194,000. These costs do not include those associated with educational programming staffing which are difficult to project with the uncertainty surrounding the number of setting IV students that will transition from Rum River Special Education Cooperative to the school district. The school district has reviewed the costs associated with renovating and improving an existing structure and believes that a newly constructed building on the proposed, district owned site is in the best long term interest of the District’s setting IV special education students, alternative learning students, and transitions program students. The district would issue $12.07 million in certificates of participation (COPs) which function like a lease-purchase arrangement. The annual COP payment is around $880,000. The district would utilize its lease levy authority under Minnesota Statutes, section 126C.40, up to the statutory limit ($212 * adjusted pupil units) to raise the majority of the funds for the COP payment. The remaining $140,000 or so above the statutory limit would be paid for with general fund dollars. The project would be scheduled for completion in calendar years 2019-2020. Cost estimates are as follows: Construction Costs
$ 9,925,000
Fees, Permits and Testing
$ 1,500,000
Contingency
$500,000
FF&E
$375,000
Bond Issuance Costs
$203,049 $ 12,503,049
Review and Comment Statement Based upon the department’s analysis of the school district’s required documentation and other pertinent information from sources of the Minnesota Department of Education, the Commissioner of Education provides a positive review and comment. Additional Information is Available Persons desiring additional information regarding this proposal should contact the school district’s business office.
