North Branch photographer Ben Andersen finds beauty in the arrangement of produce at County Market. Andersen will enter his photo of the display in the “Our Town – The North Branch Project” held June 20 through July 13 at Hallberg Center for the Arts in Wyoming, celebrating the city of North Branch.
Northern exposure Art show turns lens on North Branch BY LORI ZABEL NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
Cue the rim shot. Ben Andersen, a North Branch photographer, couldn’t resist tossing out a pun when asked why he is entering the “Our Town – The North Branch Project” art exhibit. “It gives opportunity to get exposure,” he said, “and when it comes to photography, it’s all about exposure.” Ba-dum-chssh. Not only will the exhibit bring exposure to individual photographers and artists, it will shine a light on the city of North Branch from June 20 through July 13 at the Hallberg Center for the Arts in Wyoming. Approximately 60-70 pieces in a variety of media are expected to be
displayed – all celebrating North Branch. “It’s an opportunity to show off our town,” Andersen said. He plans to submit three photos taken around the area, including a large, colorful print of vegetables in the produce department at County Market. Other regional artists took advantage of special days set aside in recent months by the city of North Branch to visit area businesses and take photos or sketch a street scene or get up-close and personal with local landmarks. The goal was to artistically interpret how they see their community.
third in a series of “Our Town” exhibits at Hallberg Center for the Arts that began in 2017 with Wyoming as the featured city. “Originally, we did the Wyoming Project because that’s where we were located and wanted to reach out to residents and draw attention to our newly established art center,” said Eric Peterson, chairman of the board of directors of the Wyoming Area Creative Arts Community (WACAC). “It went over so well, we decided to reach out to neighboring cities, being more inclusive of our artists throughout the area. (In 2018) Lindstrom showed the most enthusiasm, so we went with them. This year, it was North Branch and their

Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, is often mistaken as something that only affects aging men and women. While the Alzheimer’s Association® notes that age is the biggest risk factor for Alzheimer’s, the group also warns that even men and women nowhere close to retirement age can develop the disease. In fact, the Alzheimer’s Association reports that, in the United States alone, roughly 200,000 people under the age of 65 have early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, many people with early-onset are in their 40s and 50s. Recognizing that Alzheimer’s is not just for retirees but capable of affecting younger men and women with families and careers is important, as the Alzheimer’s Association points out that healthcare providers typically do not look for signs or symptoms of Alzheimer’s in young people. In such people, symptoms of Alzheimer’s may be incorrectly attributed to stress. Adults who suspect they might be suffering from early-onset Alzheimer’s should have a comprehensive medical evaluation, which may include a neurological exam and/or brain imaging, conducted by a physician who specializes in Alzheimer’s disease.

JUNE 20, 2019
What a wild and crazy ride As I walked off the Bunker Hills golf course with Cambridge-Isanti activities director Mark Solberg last Tuesday, I out-loud made the same proclamation I usually only say to myself: “Well, that puts a wrap on another high school sports year.” Covering the final event of the spring sports season is always a little bittersweet as it marks the annual two-month-plus break in my schedule, with only minimal chances of covering sporting events over the summer. While it can be said every year is memorable in its own way, the 20182019 high school seasons were probably the longest, yet most memorable Worth a in my history. Thousand one It all started with the first football Words game of the season last August. In what was a precursor of things to Bill come, area games were actually moved up to earlier starting times to Stickels III avoid approaching thunderstorms. What followed was an incredible number of scheduling changes due to weather, including an unusual number in the winter sports season. Even when games went on as planned, there were some memorable conditions. There was the Bluejackets’ state quarterfinal game played in a heavy snowfall, a C-I versus North Branch baseball game played with snow flurries and then ended early due to darkness, and finally the first round of state golf being played in a steady rain to conclude the year. In between, there were tons of huge successes this year. Between C-I and North Branch, there was a total of eight state tournaments I was able to cover, with another two that I was unable to cover due to scheduling conflicts. I was able to cover two state competitions on the same day last fall. The first was the exhilarating North Branch volleyball championship match, which is arguably the most exciting sports action I have ever covered. That concluded just in time to make the trek to St. Cloud for the aforementioned football game. Covering those two meant there was a minimal two-week break before winter sports season began in earnest, which is where a majority of the memories were made. There was C-I gymnastics’ 10th-straight section championship, a multitude of wrestlers qualifying for state individually, North Branch boys hockey’s first-ever section championship, C-I girls basketball coming out of virtually nowhere to challenge for a section championship, and then the C-I boys team besting the girls by winning sections. If it wasn’t for our cold and rainy April, it would have been another brief, two-week break before spring sports started. Once it did, the results were a record number of C-I track and field athletes competing at state, plus two C-I girls golfers advancing to state as well. After all of that, I must admit I’m not minding a little bit of a timeout. But the excitement of this past year has kept my excitement for what’s to come at a higher level. I admittedly have already taken a peek at the 2019 fall sports schedules and made a mental note of the first home action, which is scheduled to take place on Aug. 19. Just that brief look and it looks to be another wild ride. I can’t wait for it to get going. Bill Stickels III is editor of the Isanti-Chisago County Star.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thanks for support of Father’s Day Fly-In and breakfast To the editor, The 2019 Annual Cambridge Father’s Day FlyIn/Pancake Breakfast was fantastic this year. It wouldn’t have happened without the support from the community. A special thank you to Kent Schutte for the use of his hangar, the Cambridge Airport Commission, EAA Chapter 237, Cambridge Lions Club, American Legion Post 290 and Lex Crowley for their support and hard work; also to the local media for support and coverage. All proceeds are used for local community needs. Hope to see you again next year! Darlene Melland, Secretary Cambridge Lions Club
Include Vietnam Veterans of America in partner organizations To the editor, First off, I’d like to thank you for our (Isanti County Veterans Services) annual update information in your paper. I really appreciate you providing all of the information to local residents that weren’t able to attend the Isanti County board meeting.
During the presentation, I listed off some of the organizations that we partner with in the community to provide assistance to veterans. One organization that was on the PowerPoint being presented to the board and was not in the article “Isanti County Veterans Services sees decrease in vet contacts” (June 13, 2019) were the Vietnam Veterans of America. The Vietnam Veterans of America have been an outstanding and tremendously supportive organization within Isanti County. Vietnam veterans account for a large portion of the population that we serve, and the Vietnam Veterans of America here in Isanti County have gone above and beyond to provide this office with assistance to veterans of all eras in the community. Some examples of the assistance that they have provided to our office include the donation of gift cards to be used at the local market, as well as local fundraising efforts in order to provide products to Minnesota veterans’ homes. Our office would not be able to function at the level we do without the support that our community provides. I would like to take this opportunity to extend a very sincere thank you to the Vietnam Veterans of America for all of the effort that they put in to assist our office and the veterans that we serve. Dan Meyer, Director Isanti County Veterans Services Department

Rusty patched bumble bee named official state bee BY LESLIE SCHARAFANOW CHISAGO COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS
Have you heard the news? The rusty patched bumble bee (bombus affinis) has become the official bee of the state of Minnesota. Governor Tim Walz made it official when he signed the budget bills into law in the legislative session that ended recently. Since it’s our state bee now, I thought I would dust off an article I wrote last year and republish it to help remind everyone of a few facts about the bee. There’s been a lot of conversation and attention brought to the plight of our native pollinators, which are experts at pollinating both flowers and food crops. One pollinator in particular is really struggling. The rusty patched bumble bee has experienced an 87% decline in population since the 1990s, due to loss of habitat, disease and parasites, pesticide use and climate change. As a result, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service placed it on the endangered species list in January of 2017. The rusty patched bumble bee used to be present in 28 states, but now can only be found in nine or 10 states, including Minnesota and Wisconsin. Fortunately, Chisago County is in an area where the rusty patched bumble bees still exist. I have seen quite a few bumble bees around lately, and thought I saw a rusty patched bumble bee, but I couldn’t get
a good enough look to make a positive identification. Before jumping to conclusions, I decided I should do a little homework so I am better equipped at making a positive ID on this elusive little bee. · Their nests can typically be found underground in abandoned rodent cavities or clumps of grass. · A queen will overwinter alone in the ground, preferably in an area of undisturbed soil. · The queen rusty patched is one of the earliest bees to emerge in the spring and begin collecting pollen and nectar. She begins to form a new colony by laying stored eggs that had been fertilized by sperm the prior fall. · When the colony is in full swing, it will consist of one queen who continues to lay eggs, and female worker bees that collect food, defend the colony and tend to the young. There will be anywhere from 50 to 1,000 bees in the colony. The life span of the colony is from April to September. · In late summer new queens and male bees are born in the colony. · At the end of the season, the new queens and male bees leave the colony to mate with rusty patched bumble bees from other colonies. · The male bees, worker bees and the old queen bees then die. Only the new queens hibernate until the following spring, when the cycle starts again.
U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE
Rusty patched bumble bees have black heads, yellow mid-sections and half-yellow, half-black lower sections.
Not all of the rusty patched bumble bees have the reddish patch, which is centrally located on their abdomen. Only the male and worker bees do. The queen does not. All three have black heads, a fuzzy yellow midsection (thorax) and a half-yellow, half-black lower section (abdomen). The male and worker bees have a reddish patch in the yellow section of the abdomen. Males and worker bees also have a black patch on their thorax that kind of looks like the crescent moon fac-
ing down, with a point descending from the center. Queens are larger than both the male and worker bees and have a round black patch on their thorax. If you want to help the rusty patched bumble bee in our area, here are a few things you can do to help. · Add some native plants to your landscape. If you don’t have a lot of space, a small pocket garden might be just as effective, especially if your neighbors do the same. · Rusty patched bumble bees are particularly fond of lupine, bee balm, asters, white and purple prairie clover, Joe Pye weed, coneflowers, leadplant, New Jersey tea and serviceberry. For a more complete list go the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website (www.fws.gov) and search for rusty patched bumble bee. · Reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. · Leave some undisturbed open soil and some un-mowed brushy areas on your property. Since the rusty patched bumble bee is active in our area throughout the summer, I hope we will all be lucky enough to see one. Leslie Scharafanow is a Chisago County Master Gardener.

When a new customer
opens a MNStrong checking account (https://www.flagshipbanks.com/MNStrong) and completes the qualifying activities, they will receive a $100 deposit into their checking account, while $100 will also be donated to the Randy Shaver Cancer Research & Community Fund.

Qualifying activity must be initiated and posted to the account within 90 days of account opening. Bonus will be posted to the account within six weeks of completing requirements. The Randy Shaver Cancer Research & Community Fund’s mission is to “support the cancer community in Minnesota by funding research, prevention, treatment and other programs relating to the cancer community’s needs.” Each year, the organization gives grants to support the research of cancer doctors, as well as to organizations and individuals supporting cancer patients.

Xcel Energy to issue millions in credits CONTRIBUTED XCEL ENERGY
Xcel Energy is distributing more than $133 million in bill credits to all Minnesota electricity customers as a result of the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The refund for a residential electricity customer averages about $43, but varies based on each customer’s actual usage in 2018. Refunds have started appearing on customers’ bills and will continue to appear throughout the next month depending on billing cycles. Xcel Energy will also distribute more than $5 million to its natural gas customers as a result of federal tax reform in mid-July. The refund for a residential gas customer will average about $9, but will also vary depending on each customer’s 2018 actual usage. Refunds to customers for the firsts five months of 2019 will also appear on customers’ bills later this year, to reflect tax reductions this year. That includes a refund in October for electric customers totaling
$39 million and a refund for natural gas customers in December totaling $3.2 million. In addition to the refunds, Xcel Energy rates for Minnesota electric and gas customers will be reduced starting June 1, in order to account for federal tax cuts moving forward. The Minnesota Public Utilities Commission approved Xcel Energy’s 2018 and 2019 refund and rate reduction plans April 18. The PUC also approved Xcel Energy’s proposal to give $2 million in tax reform funds to POWERON, a program that helps keep bills affordable for low-income customers. Xcel Energy (NASDAQ: XEL) provides the energy that powers millions of homes and businesses across eight Western and Midwestern states. Headquartered in Minneapolis, the company is an industry leader in responsibly reducing carbon emissions and producing and delivering clean energy solutions from a variety of renewable sources at competitive prices.

arts group that displayed the excitement to be the next city project.” Both former shows had 60-70 pieces entered, mostly paintings and photographs, but Peterson said any medium is welcome. In addition to artwork, the shows have included historical artifacts from each of the cities supplied by historical societies and other entities. “Wyoming had some interesting maps and artifacts,” Peterson said, “like original handcuffs and the jail padlock, plus the original ballot box for voting. Lindstrom included the never-before-seen-in-public original plat of when the city was incorporated.” In regard to the North Branch exhibit, he said he’s seen “some remarkable old photographs and even a birth registry.”
A CHANCE TO BRING ATTENTION TO ARTS The Our Town exhibit opens Thursday, June 20, with a reception at 4 p.m. and runs through Saturday, July 13, during regular gallery hours: 4-8 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday, and 12-4 p.m. Saturdays. The Hallberg Center for the Arts is housed in a former church at 5521 East Viking Boulevard in Wyoming. Artwork and artifacts will be housed in the Main and Cube Galleries. According to Peterson, after each month-long exhibit has

North Branch school district to conduct phone survey CONTRIBUTED NORTH BRANCH AREA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The North Branch Area Public Schools (NBAPS) school board is conducting a community survey in June. The survey goal is to better understand stakeholders’ attitudes toward the school district as well as toward a possible future operating levy
to supplement state and federal funding, which has lagged well behind inflationary factors for decades. The random sample phone survey is being conducted by Baker Tilly (formerly Springsted Inc.), a trusted researcher and school district partner. Please be encouraged to participate in the survey if contacted.
their artwork,” he said, “while becoming more aware of arts in our area. The Our Town Projects, we hope, will grow and develop partnerships between our cities.” And photog Andersen is hoping his vibrant vegetable print will help bring the city some well-deserved exposure. “I hope,” he said, “it encourages others to come and see what we have.”
Best of luck to Dr. Ellerbusch in new job On June 30 North Branch Area Public Schools (NBAPS) will bid farewell to current Director of Finance and Human Resources Dr. Jon Ellerbush. This is largely the result of budget adjustments NB School for next year, which News caused NBAPS to Dr. Deb restructure administraHenton tive roles in an effort to absorb as much of the adjustments as possible. It can be difficult to come into a new job in a new area (Jon came to us from Royalton, where he served as superintendent), and it can be even more difficult when the individual you replace served in their position as long as Randi Johnson served. Jon arrived at NBAPS just in time to oversee the financial aspects of a $70 million referendum. Despite those challenges, Jon served NBAPS wonderfully for the last two years and has been instrumental
in keeping our construction projects organized and within budget constraints. I am deeply grateful for the leap of faith he took, coming south to serve our stakeholders, and wish him the best of luck in the future. Jon’s immediate future holds another superintendency in Barnesville. I have little doubt he will thrive there, with his affable personality, attention to detail, and deep commitment to educating children. Our loss is Barnesville’s gain. Jon’s specific position at NBAPS has been eliminated for next year, but current middle school principal Todd Tetzlaff has agreed to take a new position, Director of Business Services. This move has allowed NBAPS flexibility in administrative roles and allows the district to utilize current administrative staff to cover expanded duties, thus the budget savings. My thanks to Jon for his service here, and to Todd for accepting a new role with the school district after being a fixture at the middle school for well over a decade. Dr. Deb Henton is superintendent of North Branch Area Public Schools.
Collision, rollover lead to one fatality STAFF REPORT NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
A two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Highway 95 and Flanders Street NE on the east side of Cambridge resulted in a Cambridge woman being declared dead at the scene. According to the Minnesota State Patrol’s incident report, at approximately 2:50 p.m. on Tuesday, June 18, a Kia Sedona driven by 70-year-old Gary Allen Grell, of Cambridge, was westbound on Highway 95 when Grell
attempted to make a left turn onto southbound Flanders Street NE when it was broadsided by a Chevy Impala driven by 37-year-old Jackie Lynn Pedersen, of Harris, who was traveling eastbound on Highway 95. The impact of the collision caused the Kia to roll over. Judith Leanna Grell, 68, also of Cambridge, who was a passenger in the Kia, was killed as a result of the crash and rollover. Pedersen was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Gary Grell
also sustained non-life-threatening injuries, but was not transported to a medical facility. According to the state patrol’s report, all three victims were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash and airbags were deployed in both vehicles. According to the report, no alcohol was involved. The exact cause of the incident is still under investigation by the Minnesota State Patrol. Assisting MSP at the scene was the Cambridge Police Department and Isanti County Sheriff’s Office.
TEACHERS: Two-thirds of surveyed teachers felt methods led to improved results FROM PAGE I
district PLC (Professional Learning Community) facilitator Michelle Trunk, there are five components to Qcomp that are required by the state. The first is career ladder/advancement options. “This is just going to build our leadership capacity across the district,” Trunk said. The second is job-embedded professional development, which Trunk said includes attending PLC meetings, along with the reflection and growth plans the teachers complete each year. The third component, teacher evaluation/observation, has been a little trickier this year as the district has moved into utilizing a new evaluation model called the Marzano method, Trunk said. The fourth component is perfor-
mance pay being linked to student achievement data, and the fifth component is alternate salary schedules. Since this is a voluntary program, Trunk said they surveyed teachers to see if Qcomp has been effective. Those survey results show that two-thirds of the teachers felt that Qcomp has increased classroom instruction and student achievement. Additionally, 100% of the teachers earned additional performance pay for observation and evaluation results, as well as for their professional development plan. Plus, 94% of teachers earned performance pay for meeting PLC expectations. In instituting the Marzano evaluation model, Trunk said “in that came a huge instructional focus. We really looked at strengthening that core instruction, moving towards student-centered classrooms, along with rigorous
instruction. “We really pondered as a Qcomp council as to how we were going to blend this and merge this so that it does not feel like it is one more thing that is added to our plate,” Trunk continued. What this all boils down to, according to director of teaching and learning David Treichel, is a more streamlined learning experience for the students. “We want to be very deliberate with our instruction,” Treichel said. “We know that we have limited time with our students, and maximizing all that time is very essential. “When we examine and prioritize our standards, we unwrap them into learning targets,” he continued. “These targets are very specific, student-friendly ‘I can’ statements. Those targets are put into a progression that shows students and teachers they’re learning throughout that unit.”
Treichel said that teachers recently spent three days going over the performance skills, with an emphasis on taking this information back to the students and “taking ownership in their learning.” Going forward, teachers will go through a two-day PLC academy. “We bring in our facilitators and we go in-depth for two full days in training them to be excellent leaders,” Treichel said. He added that next year, North Branch will host Learning Sciences International in their leadership academy. “We will be hosting LSI and growing our capacity of leaders,” he said. “With that, because we are hosting it, we will be able to bring in other staff members into that learning, which will be valuable in the terms of applying that in their classrooms.”

Cambridge Ambassador Program’s groundbreaking history honored
BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR
Cambridge Ambassador candidates dressed in clothing and performed dances representing decades going all the way back to the ’40s during the opening number of this year’s program on June 14 at Hardy Performing Arts Center. The theme was “Turning Back Time” in honor of the 20th anniversary of the program’s metamorphosis from a “queen and princess” hierarchy to equally ranked “ambassadors.” This formula has been copied by many other programs around the state.
Outgoing Little Miss Cambridge Sage Christensen and Ambassadors Sadie Shelton, Sydney Crocker and Saylor Elwood watch over the proceedings while awaiting to see who they would crown as the new Ambassadors.
This year’s Mistresses of Ceremonies were also a nod to the rich history of the Cambridge Ambassador Program. Morgan Scheiller (left) was a 2013 Cambridge Ambassador, as well as a 2015 Minneapolis Aquatennial Princess. Karrn (Gustafson) Bales was a 1992 Miss Cambridge, as well as a 1994 Minneapolis Aquatennial Princess.

TALKING WITH THE EXPERTS
Sun exposure, genetics impact skin cancer risk BY UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA UNEWS@UMN.EDU
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Skin cancer, including melanoma, is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Melanoma incidence rates in Minnesota have doubled since 1988 for both males and females, according to the Minnesota Department of Health. Ingrid Polcari with the University of Minnesota Medical School and Masonic Cancer Center answers questions about skin cancer risk factors, treatment options and preventative measures people can take against skin cancer. What is skin cancer? Dr. Polcari: Skin cancers are cancerous growths on the skin. Basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers are the most common types and are often curable with surgery, but can also rarely spread. Melanoma is less common than other types of skin cancer, but it’s the most dangerous and can be deadly if it’s not detected early. What are the primary risk factors for developing skin cancer?
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
Ingrid Polcari is an assistant professor in the University of Minnesota Medical School and a Masonic Cancer Center member.
Dr. Polcari: Skin cancers are most common in sun exposed areas, which should tell you that the sun is a big factor. Sunburns and damage to the skin from cumulative sun exposure, including suntans, increase your overall risk of skin cancer. While your behavior in the sun is one factor, your genetic makeup is also important. For example, people with fair skin and fair or red hair have a much higher risk of developing skin cancer.
cancer risk is to protect your skin from the sun. Cover your skin with long-sleeved clothing or swimwear. Wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your scalp and ears and sunglasses to protect your eyes. Seek shade — or bring shade with you — and plan outdoor activities when the UV index is low. Sunscreen is another way to protect your skin. Look for a product with an SPF of 30 or higher that is labeled as “broad-spectrum.” If you have sensitive skin, choose products with zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. This is also the type I recommend to my youngest patients.
What preventative measures can people take against skin cancer?
What should people look for when checking themselves for skin cancer?

skin and get to know what’s there, so you’re able to detect new growths on the skin or changes in growths that have always been there. Basal cell cancer usually shows up as a shiny bump. Squamous cell cancer typically is a rough or scaly spot that persists. Melanomas are brown or pink growths that arise on normal skin or within an existing mole. What are you doing to advance skin cancer research?
Dr. Polcari: My research focuses on understanding how we can improve sun protection starting early in childhood to prevent skin cancer development later in life. I am hopeful that during my career we will see the skin cancer statistics start to trend in the right direction: down.

DNR asks motorists to ‘give turtles a brake’ CONTRIBUTED MN DEPT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is reminding motorists that turtles are crossing roads to nest this time of year. Motorists are asked to watch for them and, whenever possible, allow them to cross the road safely. Each year at this time, many female turtles move from lakes, ponds, wetlands, rivers and streams to nesting areas. They are looking for suitable locations to deposit their eggs. Many nesting areas are a significant distance from turtles’ wintering areas. As they attempt to cross roads, moving at a turtle’s pace, many are hit and killed by cars. Roadway mortality is believed to be a major factor in turtle population declines throughout the United States. “Wildlife rehabilitators have
noticed an increase this year in turtles brought in with cracked shells after being struck by cars,” said DNR herpetologist Carol Hall. “Turtles pre-date dinosaurs by millions of years, and they’ve outlasted them. But if we want them to be around into the future, we should lend a hand.” Helping turtles safely cross roads can help preserve Minnesota’s turtles, Hall said. She provided a few pointers: - Mostly importantly, don’t put yourself or others in danger. Simply pulling off the road and turning on hazard lights may alert other drivers to slow down. Be aware of surroundings and traffic. - Allow unassisted road crossings. When turtles can safely cross roads unaided due to a lack of oncoming traffic, allow them to do so. Observe from a distance and avoid rapid movements, as doing other-

There are certain guidelines, which vary depending on the species of turtle, that people should follow if they come across a turtle crossing a road.
wise will often cause turtles to change direction, stop or seek shelter within their shells. - If necessary to pick them up, all turtles except snappers and softshells (also known as leatherbacks) should be grasped gently along the shell
edge near the mid-point of the body. If it is a snapping turtle or softshell turtle, try to use a car mat and pull it across the road. Many turtles empty their bladder when lifted off the ground, so be careful not to drop them
if they should suddenly expel liquid. Avoid excessive handling that can disrupt turtle behavior. - Maintain direction of travel. Always move turtles in the same direction they were traveling when encountered. Turtles should always be moved across roadways in as direct a line as possible. - Help document turtle crossing and mortality areas by participating in the Minnesota Turtle Crossing Tally and Count Project. More information can be found at mndnr. gov. Turtles injured while trying to cross the road may be taken to your nearest permitted wildlife rehabilitator, which can be found by calling a local DNR office. More information about Minnesota’s nine turtle species is available at www.dnr.state. mn.us.

There’s nothing like father-daughter fishing BY LOREN W. BRABEC NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
Perhaps no one relishes a fishing trip more than my daughter Brenda. Unfortunately, her job doesn’t allow much freedom to pursue the lunkers of which she frequently dreams. Sound familiar? So, it was extremely exciting when, in mid-May, she and I planned a fishing day for June 4. Now Brenda and I have fished on many very nice days. We’ve also endured nasty weather. I am frequently reminded of the time some 20 years ago when we ventured out on a windy, drizzly 48-degree fall day, bundled to the gills in winter clothes and draped with rain gear. Oh, we caught crappies that day! However, when her lips turned blue and her teeth refused to stop chattering, we quit and went to town for pie and coffee! It was a good decision. As June 4 approached, my eyes focused on the weather forecast, universally known for its hit-and-miss accuracy. Temps were expected to be in the mid-70s with some sun and a slight chance of a storm. When the day arrived, it was just that way. Nearly perfect!

During a recent fishing trip, the author’s daughter, Brenda, caught a nice, 18-inch largemouth bass on her favorite lure (left photo), while the author reeled in a 28.5-inch northern (right).
We left Braham shortly after 9:30 a.m., and by 11:15 we were in the boat. I manned the oars while Brenda hooked on her favorite plastic popper, the lure I knew she’d start with and stay with 95% of the day. Within a few minutes, an aggressive largemouth smashed the popper. She expertly brought it in, unhooked it, posed for a photo and released the 12-inch beauty. Nice start for sure! For the next two hours, she

caught and released a few more bass (including an 18-incher, see photo), while I used a large, white plastic twister tail to subdue a couple northerns and two or three bass. One of the northerns was a 28.5-inch “monster”(see photo), which I released. I also nabbed several panfish with my ultralight combo. We were doing well, and a pause for lunch at 1:45 was definitely welcome.
Over the years, fishing has brought many unusual experiences. Timing and luck are often critical factors if one is to become part of a scene only a vivid imagination can create. Little did we know another was about to take place. It was about 2:45 when I was again on the prowl with my ultralight. My lure was a small pink tubejig, stuck on a 1/16-ounce jighead, with thin white plastic streamers flail-
ing about behind. It is, hands down, my go-to panfish bait. (Oh, the secret’s out!) After catching several small sunnies, a larger one took the jig, and as I began reeling it in, a northern grabbed the sunfish, broke the surface of the water, and then made a dash for the depths. I lightened my drag and let it go. It was a big fish, and a buggy whip rod with 4-pound line is not recommended equipment for something like this! After several minutes, I finally got the fish near the boat. It was huge, perhaps 32-35” long. It had the sunny locked in its jaws, but it was the sunny that had the hook in its mouth! The northern must have gotten spooked when it saw us, for it casually released the sunfish and disappeared. I unhooked the scarred sunny and, wishing it well, put it back in the water. The BIG one had indeed gotten away, but more important is the memory of another outstanding day with a topnotch fishing pal. I’ll have that forever!

The push for more women anglers BY RAY GILDOW NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
I have long been an advocate for getting more girls and women involved in fishing. The vast majority of folks running boats on our lakes and rivers are still guys. But that is slowly starting to change thanks in part to some unique clubs for women and the introduction and growth of high school fishing teams with a real growth in girl participation. There are many reasons that women have had a hard time breaking into the ranks of anglers. Of course, there are many girls and women who fish with family members, but I am talking about the single woman who is left out when it comes time to go fishing. It could be a divorce, a husband who doesn’t like to fish, or those who just simply can’t afford to buy the equipment. For a woman who has never pulled a boat to a public landing, the idea of backing up a boat into the lake for the first time is very intimidating. There is help out there, and for a woman who really wants to fish in any season of the year, all it takes is an email or a phone call to make a connection and get the ball rolling. The Minnesota DNR has a wonderful program called “BOW,” Becoming an Outdoor Woman. This is a course that teaches women how to fish, hunt and do other things in the outdoors. Two of the instructors are good friends of mine – Mandy Uhrich and Judy Koep. These two experts can do anything that any man can do and often better. To get more information on this program go to the DNR website for details. Women Anglers of Minnesota is an organization that has been in business for 42 years and is one of the clubs that was inducted this year into the Minnesota Fishing Hall of Fame. WAM is an organization that provides opportunities for women and children to participate in the sport of fishing and improve their fishing skills to fish for a variety of species. Members in the group come from across the nation and Canada. They can be contacted at www.womenanglersmn.com. There are also other organizations in Minnesota

and Wisconsin that focus on helping women learn how to fish. My daughter, Melissa Albers, has a son and husband who both love to fish. But she has always felt it would be fun to fish with some of her women friends who also enjoy fishing. So this spring she joined Women Anglers of Minnesota and started fly fishing for steelhead trout in the Duluth area. She has fished with members of WAM and has had some success, but mostly she has really enjoyed learning the art of fly fishing and meeting so many wonderful women who also love to fish. If you are a woman or young girl who wants to learn how to fish and meet wonderful new people, there are organizations out there just waiting for your phone call!

Question: I recently moved to Minnesota and am living with a cousin. Back in my native country, Kenya, I am licensed to drive and have that license with me. I also obtained an international driving permit from the necessary licensing body back in Kenya. Are these documents sufficient to allow me to drive within Minnesota before I am able to acquire the state’s driving license? Answer: If you are visiting
not required to get a Minnesota license and can operate a vehicle legally in our state. Once you become a Minnesota resident, you have 60 days to get a Minnesota driver’s license. Also, many insurance companies do not honor an “out-of-country license.” Being that auto insurance is required to operate a motor vehicle, you would need to get a Minnesota driver’s license or ask them about your options.

Your Lawn and Garden Guide
How to bring beneficial bees back Even though there are 4,000 species of native or wild bees in the continental United States, many populations are in decline. According to the Pollinator Partnership, various areas of North America have lost more than 50 percent of their managed honeybee colonies in the past 10 years. Bees, birds and butterflies play integral roles in pollinating many of the crops humans rely on for sustenance. The National Pollinator Garden Network, through the National Wildlife Federation, recently launched the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge, an effort to increase the amount of nectar and pollen food sources as the organization aims to reverse the alarming decline of pollinators such as honey bees, native bees and monarch butterflies. Many people are afraid of bees because of their
propensity to sting. Unlike their wasp and yellow-jacket cousins, honeybees and bumblebees are much more docile and content to hop from bloom to bloom without paying humans any mind. The only time such bees may resort to stinging is if someone inadvertently steps on them. Bees are beneficial for yards. Gardener's Supply Company says one out of every three bites of food humans take depends on a pollinator. That's because about 150 crops grown in the United States depend on pollinators.
Bringing these important pollinators back will take a little work, but it is possible. · Plants that offer cover can be attractive to bees that desire a respite from the sun and heat. Coleus and other ground cover offerings can be handy. · Offer water in shallow dishes, as even bees need a cool drink to stay hydrated. · Bees like various plants, so plant more than one species. Some plants that bees tend to like include alyssum, aster,
geranium, bee balm, poppies, and clover. · When planting, include some native species. · Brush piles, dry grasses and dead woods offer nesting areas for bees. · The Gardener's Supply Company also says that bees find blue, purple and yellow flowers most appealing. Opt for more of these hues when planning gardens. · Above all, avoid using pesticides in the yard. Even organic ones can be toxic to bees and other pollinators, and they may contribute to colony collapse disorder. With these techniques in mind, homeowners can attract more bees to their yards and gardens, which can benefit bees and humans alike.
