Isanti council to replace Lorinser via appointment ‘The citizens do not need any more further debt put upon them to pay for a special election.’
BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
LAURIE SOLLE | COUNTY STAR
Every girl’s crazy about a sharp-dressed man Lauren Kindem adjusts Reece Valland’s boutonniere while the two prepared to go through Grand March on Saturday, April 27. For more photos from Cambridge-Isanti High School prom, see page 11 and go to countystar.com.
The Isanti city council opted to go with the less-expensive route to fill the now-vacated seat held by Ross Lorinser, whose April 19 resignation was formally approved during a special council meeting held on April 30. City administrator Josi Wood explained that since Lorinser had less than two years remaining on his term, the council had two options to fill the seat. The council could ask for applications, interview applicants and appoint someone by majority vote to fill the remainder of the term, or they could hold a special election and have the voters decide who should fill the seat. However, even if they were to hold a special
Steve Lundeen Isanti City Council Member election, the council would still have to appoint someone to fill the seat until the special election was held, which would be no earlier than November 2019. “If it wasn’t so costly and staff time involved, I would ask for it to be a special election,” council member Steve Lundeen said. “That being said, the citizens do not need
any more further debt put upon them to pay for a special election.” “It (a special election) would cost $8,000 to $10,000, from what I recall,” said mayor Jeff Johnson. “Why would we want to put that on our taxpayers?” After the motion to request applications for appointment to the council was unanimously approved, Wood explained the process and timeline for making the appointment. Applications will be accepted until the end of the business day on Friday, May 10. Applications can be picked up at Isanti city hall. Interviews of the applicants will take place during the May 21 city council meeting. A uniform list of initial SEE COUNCIL, PAGE 8
Zero-gravity washing machine receives NASA’s accolades BY SHANNON FOX NEWS@BRAHAMJOURNAL.COM
hall, along with the other 11 finalist teams chosen from various schools, the Braham team showed off their humble, but impressive, washing machine design. The washing machine was one of several categories being demonstrated at the conference with others including clothing design, space hardware, space food, programming for operating systems, etc. “We were there to present the concept for a zero-gravity washing machine to some engineers that wanted to get ideas from student designers,” Anderson said. “The lead lady on the washing machine committee said our idea was really good and one of the only ideas that would
‘The lead lady on the washing machine committee said our idea was really good and one of the only ideas that would actually work in space.’
Space. The final frontier for washing machines. At Braham Area High School, students are putting together revolutionary ideas that will aide the future astronauts of the International Space Station by creating a washing machine device that can be used in a gravity-free environment. Believe it or not, the space station is a loud and smelly place. Currently, there are not a lot of facilities available to clean clothes. Also, bathrooms and toilet facilities are interesting to manage due to weightlessness. Being clean is a challenge in and of itself when out in space. In mid-April Braham students Josh Klingensmith, Ben Carlson, Jeremy Brown
Zach Anderson Student Design Team and Zach Anderson, along with Luke Becker, agricultural science and technology teacher, went to the Johnson Space Center in Houston to demonstrate their creation to NASA scientists. Set up in the Saturn V exhibition

We have all felt the impact of stores and restaurants closing in North Branch. The Chamber has received many calls from residents and businesses looking to confirm the “news” that one of their favorite places will be closing and “what are we going to do about it?”
I’ll be the first to admit that our hands are tied when a business closes. When this happens, our Chamber reaches out to the business, member or non-member, hoping to help them in a very difficult time. Our goal is to connect the business and the employees to the resources available to them; whether it be information on local job postings, programs, or a contact that can help them on a larger scale. Together, we can make sure those who are affected by the closing will feel secure knowing there are options and services right at home.

Sometimes you drop a ball in a juggling act Putting a newspaper together is something like a juggling act, especially on the day we lay out all of the pages for printing. And just like any sort of juggling act, sometimes we wind up dropping a ball. y what happened last week. As our ChisaThis is exactly go County edition readers and Facebook followers saw, we inadvertently left out half of one of our front page stories. The story was supposed to be continued (what we call “jumped”) to an inside page, but when those readers turned to that page, there was no continuation of that story. Rather than dwelling on the mistake, we have immediately taken steps to help prevent this from happening again. Also, Worth a thought I would use it as a good time to Thousand Iexplain what goes into putting our paper Words together. Our juggling act actually starts on Bill Tuesday, when Alex, our excellent graphics person who works in our Mora office, takes Stickels III a look at all the ads we have for that edition and does a rough layout of the pages, indicating where each ad will be placed. It’s also at that time that she decides how many pages that edition will be. Being a freely distributed newspaper, we rely more on our advertising dollars to offset our printing costs. Because of this, we try to keep close to a 50/50 split between space dedicated for ads and space available for news. Once she has the rough draft of the pages finished, she puts any pages that have space available for news content on our server so that myself and my assistant can immediately on Wednesday morning start filling those pages with whatever we have for the week. This also includes deciding which stories/photos will be featured on the front pages, which will have to be “jumped” to an inside page and what stories will fill up the inside pages. What makes our juggling act a bit more complicated is that part of putting each page together is deciding which pages will be our “split pages” – ones that include stories exclusive to either county’s edition. That is where our mistake was made. I always let Alex know which pages are those split pages ahead of time. And in this case, I told her the wrong inside page number. As a result, the Isanti County “jump page” was printed in both editions. Once we finish laying out our pages, which usually takes the better part of a whole day, we save the pages back onto our server in order to let Alex put on finishing touches, such as placing the final ads onto the pages and filling in any little empty space with what are known as “in-house ads.” She will then electronically send all the finished pages to our printing plant here in Cambridge, along with printing instructions, such as number of pages, how many pages are in color, etc. Our printing plant will then print the final product early Thursday morning so our readers can pick up a copy as early as 9 a.m., or it gets delivered to our readers’ homes as soon as our delivery people can make their rounds. As you can see, this is a coordinated effort between several people at multiple locations. Now, I’m not using this as an excuse for what happened last week, but perhaps in knowing a little bit of what we go through our readers can understand why sometimes things go awry. Luckily, a mistake of this magnitude doesn’t happen often, and it won’t happen again anytime in the near future (knock on wood), so hopefully this column will be more of a FYI than anything else.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Officers, what should I do when pulled over?
Touched by children’s respect for military honors
To the editor, “Do you know why I pulled you over?” Although a Braham police officer asked me that question nearly 20 years ago, his words still frequently come to mind as I drive. Recently, in reading about the trial of ex-Minneapolis police officer Mohammad Noor in the shooting death of Justine Ruszczyk Damond, I wonder what I will do, and what I should do, if there is a next time I’m pulled over. Many years ago, I was taught that I was supposed to get my drivers license and proof of insurance ready for the officer to examine when he arrived at my vehicle. But that means reaching over to my glove box, a move that could cause understandable concern to the officer. I’ve also heard that I should just place my hands on the steering wheel and wait for him to arrive with instructions. That seems preferable, but it will leave him wondering why I’m not prepared to show him my papers, and I’ll still need to go to the glove box. So I’m seeking an answer here. Officers, please tell me how I should respond to your lights in my rearview mirror. Loren W. Brabec Braham
To the editor, To Ms. Malecha and School Staff and Students: On April 9 at Christ the King Church, my family and I celebrated my father’s life at his funeral. While it was a beautiful service, by far the most touching part was stepping outside the church, looking across the field and seeing all of the playground kids standing at attention, respectfully awaiting my dad’s military honors and 21-gun salute. Many kids were saluting as they stood perfectly still. We appreciate the teachers and staff who instructed the kids about the meaning of military honors, and I hope they understand how their choice to show respect made a sad day a little brighter. Please share this letter with your students and let them know how much we appreciate them and all they did for us on my dad’s celebration of life. Emilie (Terhaar) Ficek and the Earl Terhaar Family Helen Terhaar, wife of Earl Children: Ed Terhaar, Marie (Terhaar) Miller, Emilie (Terhaar) Ficek

Community gathers to honor, mourn fallen DNR officer BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM
Hundreds of community members and first responders from across the state came to the Pine City Civic Center on Friday, April 26, to pay their last respects to Pine City’s DNR Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn. Wynn was killed and a Pine County deputy hospitalized after the two men were thrown from their boat while searching Cross Lake on April 19. Main Street was lined with Patriot Riders bearing flags, and the Pine City Fire Department positioned two ladder trucks to hold an American flag suspended over the street just north of the civic center. Wynn was 43 years old and an 18-year veteran of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. He is survived by his wife, Pine County Judge Heather Wynn, and their two young children, a daughter and a son. Officers filled the bleachers and the floor of the civic center, rows upon rows of uniformed men and women wearing tan, brown, green, white, blue and red. They were joined by hundreds of civilians – family, friends and supporters – each carrying a blue and white rose with a card attached saying, “Forever in our Hearts. Blessed are the Peacemakers,” with Wynn’s badge number: K297. They were joined by Pine City officials, who declared April 26 “Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn Memorial Day” in Pine City, and by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who ordered that all flags be flown at half staff across the state. “Conservation Officer Wynn was an outstanding conservation officer, who was admired and respected by his colleagues, and served with dignity and pride,” read the proclamation issued by Governor Walz. “The State of Minnesota recognizes Conservation Officer Wynn for his dedicated service to, and sacrifice for, his fellow citizens with its deepest gratitude, and all thoughts and

prayers are with his family, friends and entire community.” At noon, more than 150 DNR Conservation Officers silently filed in, each holding their tan hat under their left arm and a blue rose in their right, and took their seats on the civic center floor. Wynn is the 22nd Minnesota conservation officer to die in the line of duty. ‘GENE DEFINED HIS LIFE’ DNR Colonel Rodmen Smith spoke about the dedication of Wynn and other first responders to serving their communities. “These men and women are community servants always,” Smith said. “It’s how they live their lives. It’s how they raise their families.” Smith said that when tragedy strikes, it’s easy to remember the uniform the person wore. “But uniforms don’t serve their communities,” he said. “Uniforms don’t

save people. And uniforms don’t die. “We need to remember that Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn was a conservation officer second,” Smith said. “He was a husband, father, son and friend first.” He spoke about Wynn’s love for the outdoors, which led him to a career as a conservation officer – first in Wisconsin, then Minnesota. And he spoke of Wynn’s dedication to his family. “Gene, like so many parents, was a hero ... an ordinary, everyday hero,” Smith said. “A parent’s time with their kids is priceless, no matter how mundane or routine – true hero’s work. “The Wynn family is an integral part of this community. That has shown in this past week. Community members and local businesses have come together to offer whatever they can. Everyone wants to pitch in. Everyone wants to help. Everyone wants to give back. “We don’t go it alone,” Smith added. “We all walk side-by-side through life with family, friends and those in our community. “Gene – and all of us – cannot be defined by a uniform that we wear. We are defined by how we live our lives. Gene defined his life. Gene, we will miss you, but you’ve given us some treasured memories. The mark you left on all of us will never be forgotten. And that will make all of us better spouses, better parents, better children, better friends and better community members.” ‘HIS DAD WAS A HERO’ Wynn’s friend Ryan Noll spoke about the competitive drive and the talent that made Wynn an athletic star during his schooldays. As boys, the two bonded over their love for the outdoors. “We spent countless hours in the woods and on the water together,” Noll said. “It didn’t matter what we were after.” Sometimes they would get up early to go hunting before school. “I’ll never forget the morning I shot my first buck with a bow,” he said. “Unfortunately ... it wasn’t the best hit. Luckily, he was there to help me find it, but it took almost all day to do so. My parents were so mad to find out we didn’t make it to school that day. It was worth it.” He said Wynn was working one summer as a park ranger when he found someone very special. “He met the love of his life – Heather. Her huge heart and the patience of a saint was a perfect fit for him. Eugene was so proud of her.
“I’ll never forget when he called to tell me that Heather had been appointed to be a judge,” Noll said. “We were all so happy for her, especially Gene.” Noll spoke about spending time with each other’s families, and wanting to pass the love of the outdoors to the next generation. “As I pushed Heather and Eugene’s son on the swing last Sunday, EJ reminded me that his dad was a hero ... just like the two officers who were protecting us at the end of the driveway were heroes too. He was right. All of you who risk your lives every day for us are heroes. “To Sophie and EJ, please know that nothing was more important to your dad than you two. He loved you more than anything on this earth. If you ever need a fishing buddy or want to hear stories about your dad, I’m always here. “Please keep Eugene’s family and friends in your prayers,” he told those gathered on April 26. “No words can describe how much he will be missed.”
‘NO GREATER LOVE’ After playing an instrumental version of the song “Ashokan Farewell” recorded by Heather Wynn and Michele Anderson, Pastor Tim Adams, of Journey North Church, spoke about providing comfort to Wynn’s family in Pine City and also his law enforcement family. He said there has been an outpouring of love, support and respect for Wynn this past week. “I have to say I’m proud of Pine City coming together in so many different ways,” Adams said. “Eugene was very well loved. He was an absolutely amazing man. “There are people here today who are alive because of Eugene,” Adams said. “Like many here today ... he would run toward what others would run from. He was a good man, a good husband and a good father.” Adams said that Wynn felt a connection to the creator most strongly when he was out in creation. “There is no greater love than this, to lay down your life for your friends,” Adams said, quoting from the New Testament. “That describes Eugene.” He noted that Wynn’s death came on Good Friday. “That was a day someone else gave their life for others,” Adams said. “But that wasn’t the end of the story. God excels at bringing good out of tragedy.”
END OF WATCH Outside the civic center, officers and civilians stood silently in rows under the bright April sun. The wind whipped at the flags held aloft by more than a dozen color guard units from law enforcement and other agencies around Minnesota. Over the auditorium loudspeakers came a message: “This is the last call for Officer K297.” That message was repeated twice more. “Last call for Officer K297. Last call for Officer K297.” Then, after a pause, the speaker resumed. “End of watch for Officer K297. We thank you for your 18 years of service. Rest easy, sir.” Bagpipes of the Minnesota Police Pipe Band played “Amazing Grace” as officers saluted. A bell was rung 18 times for Wynn’s 18 years of service A 21-gun salute was fired for Wynn, and four DNR airplanes roared overhead. Then, Conservation Officer Eugene Wynn was taken to his final resting place.

Cambridge man dies in early crash STAFF REPORT NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
A 37-year-old Cambridge man has died as the result of a single-vehicle crash that occurred early in the morning on Wednesday, May 1. According to the Isanti County Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement received information at 1:10 a.m. of a single-vehicle accident at the
T-intersection of Polk Street NE and 417th Avenue NE in Stanchfield Township. Upon arrival, deputies discovered a 2003 Ford Ranger pickup that had collided with a tree. The driver of the truck, who has been identified as Lucas Howard Gleason, of Cambridge, was found dead at the scene. According to the report,
the cause of the crash has not been determined. An investigation of the incident, including performing a toxicology, is being performed by the Isanti County Sheriff’s Office. Assisting at the scene were the Braham Police Department, Braham Fire and the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office.

The zero-gravity washing machine developed by Braham students for possible use in space utilizes pumps to remove air from a garment in a bag, inject water, create agitation to clean, and then remove excess water to dry it.

actually work in space.” THE CHALLENGE OF OUTER-SPACE WASHING So what makes the students’ design so interesting? It is fairly compact, easy-to-use and takes into consideration the many challenges of working without gravity. According to Becker, “You can’t separate air and water in space, so you have to do the best you can do within the conditions that you have. Also, soap is not allowed on the space station, because it can clog the filters. However, there isn’t a lot of dirt in space. Mostly, the only things that create smell and needs cleaning is sweat, human skin flakes and perhaps food particles. Water naturally dissolves most of this.” How does one clean clothes under these stipulations? The students’ design starts with a heavy-duty plastic bag and a shirt. The bag is hooked up to a contraption that measures about 2 feet by 2 feet. The shirt goes into the bag, which is attached to the machine, and the air is vacuumed out. Water is added to the bag. An
attached oil suction pump (they have hopes of upgrading their invention with a much more powerful, more efficient pump) then creates the agitation of the water and the fabric. Another vacuum pump removes the excess water, and the shirt comes out spin-cycle dry. Hang the item up on a line, and it is clean. Those features are what got NASA engineers talking and contacting Becker only 10 days later. At the end of April, NASA engineers made a trip to Braham High School to meet with the initial student designers, look at other students’ projects, and discuss further design concepts. Putting the machine together was built on the philosophy of not reinventing the wheel. All pieces were brought. They were not expected to create components, but a machine that would work. NASA provided some of the materials, but others were obtained through grants and other funding. The students’ pay-off was a chance to interact with NASA engineers, have their model praised and help build strong resumes for their futures.
The annual Barn Bash will be held Thursday, May 16, at 5:30 p.m. at Bloom Lake Barn, 17147 Bloom Lake Road, Shafer. The event raises funds for Family Pathways. Dinner by Village Catering will include champagne chicken, barbecued spare ribs, herbed rice, baby red mashed potatoes, bourbon-glazed carrots and French bread, plus a Bourbon Boot signature drink.

questions that all applicants will be asked will be made available before the interviews will take place. While officially declaring the vacancy, the council expressed their regret that Lorinser felt the need to resign and deflected some of the speculation surrounding his resignation. “It’s too bad council member Lorinser resigned,” Lundeen said. “I think it was all on his own accord. I don’t think anyone here had anything to do with this. There has been speculation that the council was harsh on him, but I don’t feel that was the case. It’s amazing that the last council meeting he attended, he stated how he was very appre-
Cambridge participates in worldwide campaign to promote building safety Cambridge is participating in the 39th annual Building Safety Month, a worldwide campaign presented by the International Code Council, its members and partners, to promote building safety. First observed in 1980, Building Safety Month raises awareness about critical safety issues from Cambridge structural to fire plumbCity Views prevention, ing and mechanical systems, and Marcia energy efficiency. Building codes Westover and the officials who enforce them are making our families and communities safer and more resilient. Homes and buildings that are built in compliance with building safety codes result in resilient structures
that minimize the risks of death, injury and property damage. In the wake of a disastrous hurricane season, rampant wildfires and devastating earthquakes, building safety is even more important. Minnesota has its own disasters that can affect building safety. Building safety affects everyone – and modern, updated building codes save lives. When our staff reviews construction plans to ensure code compliance, they help to ensure the places where you live, work and play are safe. Our staff works closely with homebuilders, contractors, plumbers, roofers and other construction industry trades to provide for the public safety of our community. Building codes have protected the public for thousands of years. The earliest known code of law – the Code of Hammurabi, king of the Babylonian Empire, written circa 2200 B.C. – assessed severe

In the early-1900s, the insurance industry and others with similar concerns developed the first model building code. Today, the International Codes, developed by the International Code Council and adopted by our community, are the most widely used and adopted set of building safety codes in the U.S. and around the world. Be sure to check out the city of Cambridge Facebook page for more information during the month of May (facebook.com/ cityofcambridgeminnesota), and our YouTube channel for the latest video about building safety (bit. ly/2UASmwr).

He was of a creative opinion, just like the four of us are, and that’s what makes a good council.” “I never agreed with our previous mayor on a lot of things either,” Lundeen concluded. “But I still respected his position and his opinion. I feel bad he resigned. It’s too bad he couldn’t have finished out his term and then made a decision if he wanted to run again or not. But now, we have to move forward as a city and a council.”
Scandinavian author to speak on folktales Danish and Norwegian writer and translator, Barbara Sjoholm, will speak about her newest book, “By the Fire: Sami Folktales and Legends” on Monday, May 6, at 6:30 p.m. at the Isanti County Historical Society on the fairgrounds in Cambridge. Sjoholm has spent over 10 years researching the life of Emilie Demant Hatt, a Danish ethnographer and artist who lived among the Swedish Sami in the early 20th Century. This is the first English publication of Sami folktales from Scandinavia. In it, Sjoholm translates Emilie’s “recorded tales of magic animals, otherworldly girls who marry Sami men, and cannibalistic ogres or Stallos. Many of her storytellers were women, and the memorable tales included in this collection tell of plucky girls and women who outfox their attackers (whether Russian bandits, mysterious Dog-Turks or Swedish farmers) and save their people.” Sjoholm is a writer of memoir, mysteries, fiction and travel books, and an editor of anthologies and nonfiction.

BLUEJACKET SOUNDBITES BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
BOYS TRACK AND FIELD The Bluejacket boys continued their team dominance in meets this season, picking up another pair of first-place finishes, first at the Centennial Invite and then at their own 10-team True Team meet. The team’s depth was on full display during the home meet as only four events were won by Cambridge-Isanti. Blaze Krueger took first in both the discus and the shot put. Joseph Stauffer added a first in the pole vault to lead a 1-2-3 Bluejacket finish in that event. In addition, Joshua Anderla took first in the long jump. What made the difference was 10 additional Jackets placed either second or third in their events, which besides the sweep in pole vault, also included placing third, fifth, sixth and seventh in the high jump. On Friday, three boys took part in the illustrious Hamline Elite Meet. Blaze Krueger competed in both throwing events, coming in fifth in the discus and ninth in the shot put. Levi Wilson placed seventh in the 110 hurdles and Gaven Ziebarth finished 13th in the 100 dash.
GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD While not quite as consistently dominant as the boys, the C-I girls also came away with a first-place team finish at home. Kylee Clement and AnnaGrace Nelson were both double winners for the Jackets, with Clement taking first in the 100 and 200 dashes and Nelson winning the 100 hurdles and high jump. Char Morke took the other first, again winning the pole vault. The 4x100 relay team also captured gold in the meet. Chloe Nelson (200), Jessica Illg (400), Ashley Lawrence (pole vault) and Victoria Skiba (discus) each added second-place finishes for C-I. The next day, Morke again competed in the Hamline Elite Meet, placing third in the pole vault. She was joined by teammate Kaylee Clement, who finished 14th in the 100 dash. C-I also finished second out of four teams at the Centennial Invite on Tuesday, April 23. GIRLS GOLF Courses are finally drying out enough to have some consistent action on them, with the Jacket girls playing in three meets in three days.

The Cambridge-Isanti girls 4x200 relay team took first place in the Bluejacket True Team Meet held on Thursday, April 25, at home. The girls team as a whole also took first place in the meet.
Gavin Ziebarth took third place in the 100 dash during the Bluejacket True Team Meet. The following day, the sophomore competed in the same event at the Hamline Elite Meet, coming in 13th.
The hectic week started with a second-place finish out of five teams in a conference meet at Chisago Lakes with a team score of 374. MollyAnn Harvey had a great round, scoring an even 80, followed by Jasmyn Sibell’s 89, which included a 39 on the front nine. The next day, C-I finished third out of 15 teams in a meet that featured teams of two playing in three different formats (best ball, alternate shot and scramble). Harvey and Sibell took second place in the meet by shooting an 83. The week concluded on what coach Steve Hanson called the “most difficult course we play all year” at North Branch. Despite struggling, with Sibell’s 89 being the low score for the Jackets, the team still finished second out of five teams.
BOYS TENNIS The Bluejackets fought hard, but wound up falling twice last week by scores of 4-3 to Chisago Lakes and 5-2 to Monticello. In the meet against the Wildcats, C-I got wins from Jacob Zacharias (first singles), Carter Slothouber (second singles) and the team of Erik Kindem and Alex Magnuson (second doubles). Against the Magic, the Jackets had to shuffle their lineup due to missing their normal second singles player. The result was two three-set losses that could have resulted in a team win. Zacharias again won his first singles match, with the other win coming from the third doubles team of Magnuson and Kindem.
BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL The Jackets baseball and softball suffered the dubious distinction of being no-hit at the same time last week. Both teams were completely shut down by Buffalo, with the softball team falling 9-0 and the baseball team losing 10-0. Both teams also gave up identical 15 runs to STMA, with the softball team losing 15-4 and the baseball team losing 15-3. The baseball team finished the rough week out with a 10-0 loss to Spring Lake Park. BOYS GOLF In their lone competition of the week, the Jackets placed fifth out of five teams in a conference meet hosted by North Branch held at Rush City.
BOMBER SOUNDBITES BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
BOYS AND GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD The Bombers competed in the Pine City Chengwatana Invitational on Friday, April 26. For the girls, Hannah Cornelius took first in the 400 and second in both the 100 and 200 to lead the Bombers. Leah Wickeham added a third place in the 800. In the field events, Megan Lanhart claimed third in the triple jump, with Meegan Wickeham taking third in the pole vault. On the boys side, Jacob Kern took second in both the 100 and 200, and Braden Doble added a third place in the 400. BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL The Bombers have had a frustrating season so far – not on the scoreboard or
record books – but in trying to get games played. So far, the baseball team has only played in four games, while the softball team has finished three. So far, the baseball team’s record is 2-1-1, with wins coming over Pine City by a score of 7-5 and Isle by a score of 18-3 in five innings. The loss was to Hinckley-Finlayson by a score of 13-6. The tie came against Grantsburg in the first game of the season. The game was called due to darkness after seven innings were played. Like the baseball team, the Bombers softball team has lost to Hinckley-Finlayson by a score of 12-1 and beaten Pine City by a score of 8-6. They deviated from the baseball team, however, in losing to Isle by a score of 11-1 in five innings.

IMAGE Art Show awards announced CONTRIBUTED EAST CENTRAL REGIONAL ARTS COUNCIL
The East Central Regional Arts Council (ECRAC) is proud to honor the award winners of the 32nd annual IMAGE Art Show which opened Saturday, April 27. The IMAGE Art Show is an annual event open to any artist residing in Region 7E (Chisago, Kanabec, Isanti, Mille Lacs and Pine counties.) The Art Show and the awards honor some of the finest art in the area. The judges for the show were Julie Crabtree and Karen M. Marchese. This year Bethany Whitehead and Becky Franklin served as co-curators for the exhibition and began their work looking at all works of art to assess the colors, subject matter, texture and size to assess how to make the show flow well and look good. “I dare say that the IMAGE show is the most eclectic group show I have ever seen,” Whitehead said. “and I have put together more than 40 exhibitions in my history of working in the arts.” Indeed, this year there is art made with bacon, pennies, gourds, plastic fish and teeth, as well as amazing drawings, paintings, photography, sculpture, prints and more.

This moody shoreline painting titled “Calm Before the Storm” by Michelle Ressler, of Isanti, won a Judge’s Choice Award.
A total of 164 artists entered this year’s IMAGE Art Show, and over 300 people attended the opening event at the ECRAC offices in Braham. The two Judge’s Choice (Best of Show) Awards went to Michelle Ressler, of Isanti, for “Calm Before the storm,” and Jake Callahan, of Princeton, for “Cascade Poetry.” There were also 10 Excellence Awards (First Place) and 10 Merit Awards (Second Place). Purchase Awards were also made and announced during the show opening. ECRAC purchased five works of art which now become part of the Council’s permanent collection of artwork. According to ECRAC Executive Director Mary Minnick-Daniels, “The IMAGE Art Show keeps improving every year! It is an incredibly vibrant
art exhibit and a true celebration of all of the wonderful artists that entered.” This art exhibition was made possible by The McKnight Foundation and the voters of Minnesota thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Legacy Fund.

Cambridge-Isanti juniors and seniors look on as local emergency personnel, with the help of student actors, participate in a mock crash on Friday, April 26. The mock crash included a “fatality,” a driver getting arrested for DWI, along with victims getting airlifted.
BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR
One of the “crash victims” crumples to the ground, distraught over being involved in the crash. After the mock crash was completed, students assembled in the Performing Arts Center to hear a presentation from Minneapolis Police Sgt. Catherine Michal, who spoke about her own daughter’s death at the hands of a drunk driver. See countystar.com for more photos from this event.

Remodeled North Branch stage to get ‘creepy and kooky’ This is a reprint of an article that was incomplete in the April 25 Chisago County edition of the Star. BY LIZ O’BRIEN NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
A
fter being “homeless” for almost an entire year, the North Branch Theatre Department is ready to return to their newly remodeled digs. As part of the voter-approved referendums, North Branch High School’s Edelstein Auditorium received much-needed upgrades and improvements. However, while under construction, the theatre department had to make some adjustments to their performance schedules. One of those changes was moving the musical, which is usually performed in the fall, to the spring. This also meant they would have to forgo, at least for one year, the department’s tradition of letting students direct the three-act play, which is usually performed in the spring. In between, the students had to endure competing in One Act Play while being forced to rehearse in the band room and then commute daily to Rush City to utilize their stage. “It didn’t affect our competitions, because we competed at other high school auditoriums,” director and auditorium manager Laura Michels said. “Besides having to improvise with use of space, things went rather smoothly. (But) I think students are relieved to get their auditorium back,” Now, they have a nice, like-new

auditorium to call home, albeit a month later than hoped. High-tech lighting and sound were installed, seating was upgraded and replaced and new curtains were hung. But perhaps most importantly, the stage has been replaced. “Students were getting slivers,” Michels said, referring to the old stage. To christen their new home, Michels chose a light-hearted production in the form of “The Addams Family,” a musical comedy based on the book by Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice. The musical is based on the cartoons created by Charles Addams, which have been adapted into the popular television show and subsequent movies as well. Public performances of “The
Addams Family” will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday through Saturday, May 2-4. There will also be matinee performances at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 and Sunday, May 5. Tickets can be purchased at County Market, the High School Activities office, or the Community Ed office for $10 each.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Your emotions can be overwhelming, Aries. This encourages you to share your softer side with others. Embrace this sense of openness and others will reciprocate.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Lately you have been a rock that others lean on, Libra. This is a good role for you, as you are compassionate but also fair. Just make sure you take care of yourself as well.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Make the most of others’ cooperative spirits to get things done, Taurus. It is always good to advocate for yourself, but more effective when others are receptive.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, just when you think you have everything figured out, a new challenge presents itself. Seek a second opinion to work it out if this nut proves tough to crack.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Focusing too much on one thing is not healthy, Gemini. It is better to diversify your thinking and surround yourself with as many ideas and perspectives as possible.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 A new idea could spark a big change in your life, Sagittarius. Are you ready for the adventure that is going to ensue? Look to others to join in the good times.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 A coworker may need your assistance in the weeks to come. You are ready and willing to put in the extra effort to help this person with no strings attached.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, many challenges have been coming your way, and you have handled them like a champion. Spend a little time pampering yourself as a reward.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Focus on the positive things this week, Leo. Forget about what could go wrong. With the right mindset, you can accomplish anything you want. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 You are always willing and able to help a friend out, Virgo. That will prove true once again this week when a loved one calls you up and needs a shoulder to cry on.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, when others test your patience, find a healthy way to blow off some steam. Enlist the help of a fun-loving friend to get away for a little bit. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 For single Pisces, a new romance could be on the horizon. If you are attached, the romance may be kicked up a notch.

CAMBRIDGE 2018 DRINKING WATER REPORT WWW.CI.CAMBRIDGE.MN.US Making Safe Drinking Water Your drinking water comes from a groundwater source: three wells ranging from 410 to 427 feet deep, that draw water from the Mt. Simon aquifer. Cambridge works hard to provide you with safe and reliable drinking water that meets federal and state water quality requirements. The purpose of this report is to provide you with information on your drinking water and how to protect our precious water resources. Contact Todd Schwab, Public Works Utilities Director, at 763-689-1800 or tschwab@ci. cambridge.mn.us, 300 3rd Avenue NE, Cambridge, MN 55008 if you have questions about Cambridgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drinking water. You can also ask for information about how you can take part in decisions that may affect water quality. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency sets safe drinking water standards. These standards limit the amounts of specific contaminants allowed in drinking water. This ensures that tap water is safe to drink for most people. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates the amount of certain contaminants in bottled water. Bottled water must provide the same public health protection as public tap water. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
Cambridge Monitoring Results This report contains our monitoring results from January 1 to December 31, 2018. We work with the Minnesota Department of Health to test drinking water for more than 100 contaminants. It is not unusual to detect contaminants in small amounts. No water supply is ever completely free of contaminants. Drinking water standards protect Minnesotans from substances that may be harmful to their health. Learn more by visiting the Minnesota Department of Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s webpage Basics of Monitoring and Testing of Drinking Water in Minnesota (https:// www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/factsheet/sampling.html). How to Read the Water Quality Data Tables The tables below show the contaminants we found last year or the most recent time we sampled for that contaminant. They also show the levels of those contaminants and the Environmental Protection Agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s limits. Substances that we tested for but did not find are not included in the tables. We sample for some contaminants less than once a year because their levels in water are not expected to change from year to year. If we found any of these contaminants the last time we sampled for them, we included them in the tables below with the detection date. We may have done additional monitoring for contaminants that are not included in the Safe Drinking Water Act. To request a copy of these results, call the Minnesota Department of Health at 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Definitions AL (Action Level): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. â&#x20AC;¢ EPA: Environmental Protection Agency â&#x20AC;¢ MCL (Maximum contaminant level): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. â&#x20AC;¢ MCLG (Maximum contaminant level goal): The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. â&#x20AC;¢ Level 1 Assessment: A Level 1 assessment is a study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system. â&#x20AC;¢ Level 2 Assessment: A Level 2 assessment is a very detailed study of the water system to identify potential problems and determine (if possible) why an E. coli MCL violation has occurred and/or why total coliform bacteria have been found in our water system on multiple occasions. â&#x20AC;¢ MRDL (Maximum residual disinfectant level): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. â&#x20AC;¢ MRDLG (Maximum residual disinfectant level goal): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. â&#x20AC;¢ NA (Not applicable): Does not apply. â&#x20AC;¢ NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity Units): A measure of the cloudiness of the water (turbidity). â&#x20AC;¢ pCi/l (picocuries per liter): A measure of radioactivity. â&#x20AC;¢ ppb (parts per billion): One part per billion in water is like one drop in one billion drops of water, or about one drop in a swimming pool. ppb is the same as micrograms per liter (μg/l). â&#x20AC;¢ ppm (parts per million): One part per million is like one drop in one million drops of water, or about one cup in a swimming pool. ppm is the same as milligrams per liter (mg/l). â&#x20AC;¢ PWSID: Public water system identification. â&#x20AC;¢ TT (Treatment Technique): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. â&#x20AC;¢ Variances and Exemptions: State or EPA permission not to meet an MCL or a treatment technique under certain conditions.

For more information, visit: MDH Drinking Water Fluoridation (http://www.health.state.mn.us/divs/eh/water/com/fluoride/index. html). Nitrate: Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 parts per million is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant, you should ask advice from your health care provider. Some People Are More Vulnerable to Contaminants in Drinking Water Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. The developing fetus and therefore pregnant women may also be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water. These people or their caregivers should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791.
Learn More about Your Drinking Water Drinking Water Sources Minnesota’s primary drinking water sources are groundwater and surface water. Groundwater is the water found in aquifers beneath the surface of the land. Groundwater supplies 75 percent of Minnesota’s drinking water. Surface water is the water in lakes, rivers, and streams above the surface of the land. Surface water supplies 25 percent of Minnesota’s drinking water. Contaminants can get in drinking water sources from the natural environment and from people’s daily activities. There are five main types of contaminants in drinking water sources. • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Sources include sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, pets, and wildlife. • Inorganic contaminants include salts and metals from natural sources (e.g. rock and soil), oil and gas production, mining and farming operations, urban stormwater runoff, and wastewater discharges. • Pesticides and herbicides are chemicals used to reduce or kill unwanted plants and pests. Sources include agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and commercial and residential properties. • Organic chemical contaminants include synthetic and volatile organic compounds. Sources include industrial processes and petroleum production, gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants such as radium, thorium, and uranium isotopes come from natural sources (e.g. radon gas from soils and rock), mining operations, and oil and gas production. The Minnesota Department of Health provides information about your drinking water source(s) in a source water assessment, including: • How Cambridge is protecting your drinking water source(s); • Nearby threats to your drinking water sources; • How easily water and pollution can move from the surface of the land into drinking water sources, based on natural geology and the way wells are constructed. Find your source water assessment at Source Water Assessments (https:// www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/swp/swa) or call 651-201-4700 or 1-800-818-9318 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Lead in Drinking Water You may be in contact with lead through paint, water, dust, soil, food, hobbies, or your job. Coming in contact with lead can cause serious health problems for everyone. There is no safe level of lead. Babies, children under six years, and pregnant women are at the highest risk. Lead is rarely in a drinking water source, but it can get in your drinking water as it passes through lead service lines and your household plumbing system. Cambridge provides high quality drinking water, but it cannot control the plumbing materials used in private buildings. Read below to learn how you can protect yourself from lead in drinking water. 1. Let the water run for 30-60 seconds before using it for drinking or cooking if the water has not been turned on in over six hours. If you have a lead service line, you may need to let the water run longer. A service line is the underground pipe that brings water from the main water pipe under the street to your home. • You can find out if you have a lead service line by contacting your public water system, or you can check by following the steps at: https://www.mprnews.org/story/2016/06/24/npr-find-lead-pipes-in-your-home • The only way to know if lead has been reduced by letting it run is to check with a test. If letting the water run does not reduce lead, consider other options to reduce your exposure. 2. Use cold water for drinking, making food, and making baby formula. Hot water releases more lead from pipes than cold water. 3. Test your water. In most cases, letting the water run and using cold water for drinking and cooking should keep lead levels low in your drinking water. If you are still concerned about lead, arrange with a laboratory to test your tap water. Testing your water is important if young children or pregnant women drink your tap water. • Contact a Minnesota Department of Health accredited laboratory to get a sample container and instructions on how to submit a sample: Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (https://eldo.web.health.state.mn.us/public/accreditedlabs/labsearch.seam) The Minnesota Department of Health can help you understand your test results. 4. Treat your water if a test shows your water has high levels of lead after you let the water run. • Read about water treatment units: Point-of-Use Water Treatment Units for Lead Reduction (https://www.health.state.

Help Protect Our Most Precious Resource – Water Conservation Conservation is essential, even in the land of 10,000 lakes. For example, in parts of the metropolitan area, groundwater is being used faster than it can be replaced. Some agricultural regions in Minnesota are vulnerable to drought, which can affect crop yields and municipal water supplies. We must use our water wisely. Below are some tips to help you and your family conserve – and save money in the process. • Fix running toilets—they can waste hundreds of gallons of water. • Turn off the tap while shaving or brushing your teeth. • Shower instead of bathe. Bathing uses more water than showering, on average. • Only run full loads of laundry, and set the washing machine to the correct water level. • Only run the dishwasher when it’s full. • Use water-efficient appliances (look for the WaterSense label). • Use water-friendly landscaping, such as native plants. • When you do water your yard, water slowly, deeply, and less frequently. Water early in the morning and close to the ground. • Learn more • Minnesota Pollution Control Agency’s Conserving Water webpage (https://www.pca.state.mn.us/living-green/conserving-water) • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s WaterSense webpage (https://www.epa.gov/watersense)
Sprinkling Guidelines To maintain an adequate water supply and ensure the public’s safety, the City of Cambridge adopted Ordinance No. 450 that states that residents comply with the following guidelines on water sprinkling: For instance, all city properties with odd numbered house number address only sprinkle lawns on odd numbered days. (Example: 981 Cypress Street South may sprinkle lawn on May 21, 23, 25, etc.) There will be NO sprinkling from noon to 6:00 p.m. All non-established lawns can water every day for a period of six weeks except for the hours of noon to 6:00 p.m. Over seeding or spot patching of existing established yards can be watered every day with a hand-controlled hose. This is in effect from May 1 through August 31st.
Monitoring Results – Unregulated Substances In addition to testing drinking water for contaminants regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, we sometimes also monitor for contaminants that are not regulated. Unregulated contaminants do not have legal limits for drinking water. Detection alone of a regulated or unregulated contaminant should not cause concern. The meaning of a detection should be determined considering current health effects information. We are often still learning about the health effects, so this information can change over time. The following table shows the unregulated contaminants we detected last year, as well as human-health based guidance values for comparison, where available. The comparison values are based only on potential health impacts and do not consider our ability to measure contaminants at very low concentrations or the cost and technology of prevention and/or treatment. They may be set at levels that are costly, challenging, or impossible for water systems to meet (for example, large-scale treatment technology may not exist for a given contaminant). A person drinking water with a contaminant at or below the comparison value would be at little or no risk for harmful health effects. If the level of a contaminant is above the comparison value, people of a certain age or with special health conditions - like a fetus, infants, children, elderly, and people with impaired immunity – may need to take extra precautions. Because these contaminants are unregulated, EPA and MDH require no particular action based on detection of an unregulated contaminant. We are notifying you of the unregulated contaminants we have detected as a public education opportunity. • More information is available on MDH’s A-Z List of Contaminants in Water (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/contaminants/index.html) and Fourth Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 4) (https://www.health.state.mn.us/communities/environment/water/com/ucmr4.html).

SCHOOL BOARD 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.
