Schools save cash by consolidating printing vendors

Discovering the science behind the special effects FALL MEANS FORD SUV SEASON!

With the help of Elaina, age 8, ScienceTeller Joe Allen shows kids how he made an alien hand used in the telling of “Aliens: Escape from Earth!” during a program in Cambridge City Park on Tuesday, June 25. For more photos from the event, see page 10.

Sometimes, timing is everything.

During the June 20 Cambridge-Isanti School Board meeting, the board approved combining the print services contracts for the individual school buildings and the district offices, along with the toner replacement contract, to one single vendor.

Previously, the contracts were split between three different vendors, which meant different buildings had different machines, with some owned and some being leased.

According to district technology coordinator Ray Sperl, all three of those contracts were set to expire at the same time, allowing the district to take a serious look at merging the contracts.

“It is my privilege to share with you some work we have been doing over the last year to save the district money in the future years,”

New contract with one printing company will save district over $280,000

are the most potent, but UVA and UVB can be dangerous when exposure to the sun is significant.

The sun can be both friend and foe. A warm, sunny day can improve mood and increase levels of vitamin D in the body. Exposure to sunlight during the day also can help regulate the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle, known as the circadian rhythm. However, overexposure to the sun can be dangerous as well.

Many people recognize that exposure to the sun can lead to sunburn and long-standing skin damage, but they may not realize that the eyes also are susceptible to damage caused by the sun. The eye health resource All About Vision warns that extended exposure to the sun’s UV rays has been linked to significant eye problems, including cataracts, macular degeneration, pinguecula, pterygia, and photokeratitis. UV rays come in three types: A, B and C. The atmosphere’s ozone layer blocks virtually all UVC rays, which

Where to Find the Best

Exposure to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time can cause photokeratitis, which is essentially a sunburn of the eye that can cause pain and redness.

Prolonged exposure to UV rays without adequate protection may cause lasting damage, says the American Optometric Association.

UV rays come from both the sun itself and tanning beds. Here’s a look at some of the common UV-induced eye conditions. · Cataracts: A clouding of the eye’s natural lens, or the part of the eye that focuses the light a person sees. · Macular degeneration: UV rays may lead to macular degeneration, which is a leading cause of vision loss for older people. The macula is the center portion of the retina, essential for vision. · Pterygium: This is a growth that begins on the white of the eye and may involve the cornea. The growth can eventually impede vision, says the organization Prevent Blind-

ness America.

Sunglasses and other protective lenses are essential to keeping the eyes healthy. AOA says that for sunglasses to be effective, they should:

· block out 99 to 100 percent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation; · screen out 75 to 90 percent of visible light; · have lenses that are perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and · have lenses that are gray for proper color recognition.

In addition, people can wear wide-brimmed hats to protect their eyes from the sun and harmful UV rays. This will shield the eyes and the delicate skin of the face.

OPINION countystar.com

JUNE 27, 2019

The downside to community social media sites As I’m sure a majority of people know, there has been a huge increase in the number of community pages on social media meant to provide “information” specific to a certain area. These pages, which some have sarcastically dubbed as “nosy neighbor” sites tend to be relatively harmless, especially considering many of the posts are about lost or found animals, heads up for something unusual taking place in the area, or the increasingly popular “What was that loud bang I just heard?” or “What are all the sirens for”/“prayers for the accident I just passed.”

It is that last example, however, that inadvertently crosses the line from an innocent, well-meaning post to something less innoWorth a cent. Last week, posts on every one of those Thousand local Facebook pages “reported” on the fatal crash that happened on the east end of Words Cambridge.

While that is fine and all, what followed Bill showed the dark side of these pages. Within Stickels III minutes of the original post, there were replies assuming and questioning what happened to cause this incident. Reading through these posts, either of the victims were accused of speeding, trying to beat a red light, running a red light, and inattentive driving.

Even the makeup of the intersection itself and the history of other crashes were brought up. There were also inaccurate accounts of such serious things as the number of people who had died.

The problem is that all of these posts, which could be read as factual information, were made by people who not only didn’t witness the crash, but were miles away from that intersection. There is no way these people knew what really happened.

It’s bad enough that the victims of this tragedy now will have to live with going through such an event, but they, their friends and family members, have to endure this sort of mob mentality, with people grabbing their digital torches and pitchforks.

This is why we take the reporting of such incidents so seriously. While social media can help us in getting tips on possible news stories, we always have to delve in a little deeper to parse out fact from fiction. And we hope, that while it may be agonizing for people to wait, they trust that the professionals will provide accurate information as fast as they can.

Along those same lines, I feel the need to repeat something I said in this column on the topic of covering crash scenes a couple years ago. As I was browsing other media’s coverage of this same crash, I noticed that KSTP (I can’t believe I’m talking about them again) used a photo of the scene taken by a passerby.

As I said before, we here at the Star will never use photos of this nature taken by someone who happened to be driving by.

People who take cell phone photos like this are only putting themselves and the responding emergency personnel in danger, even if it is taken by someone sitting in a passenger’s seat.

They could also unknowingly reveal something that should not be documented for the public to see. Any time we send a photographer out to cover something like this, that person has been instructed on what can and can’t be photographed.

The bottom line is, whether it’s writing about a crash or taking photos at the scene, please just leave it up to the professionals.

GUEST COLUMN

Motivating your kids to do more CONTRIBUTED BY THE AMERICAN COUNSELING ASSOCIATION

K

ids can be amazing. They develop new cell phone apps, set athletic records, volunteer with the elderly and perform lots of good deeds. Unfortunately, much of the time it seems these are someone else’s children.

For many parents, the reality is kids sleeping till noon, buried in video games or so busy monitoring social media that they only surface for meals. This is even more obvious now with kids on summer vacation and no longer disappearing to school where we at least assume they are accomplishing something positive.

So how can a parent get the child in their home to be more active, or at least to contribute more to the household? A first step in that direction is simply to decide what your realistic expectations are for your child. If there are constant arguments and shouting about what isn’t being done, what actions by your child would limit those arguments and make you all feel better?

The answer lies in specific goals, not just broad generalizations. Your starting point should be to negotiate some activities with your kids that will achieve something worthwhile and specific for your home and your child. You want to replace inactivity with positive accomplishment.

One simple goal might be to have your child take on one or more household chores. Maybe unloading the dishwasher, walking the dog each evening, or doing 30 minutes of yard work each day. Or it might be a positive growth activity, like reading books or getting a certain amount of daily exercise. It helps to have a structure for these activities. Set specific times or deadlines for when required activities are to be accomplished.

Step two is to provide motivation to help

METRO CREATIVE GRAPHICS

them want to complete the assigned chores. A negative motivation might be to cut off electronic gadget access until the assigned activity is completed.

Or a positive reward motivation could be getting an allowance, or an increase in a current allowance. If a desired reward is a major purchase, you can keep a running record of successful accomplishments with a clear goal of what is needed to earn that purchase.

The key is to develop specific activities that move your kids in desired directions and that make them feel good about doing required activities, even the most boring ones. Chores shouldn’t be punishments, but rather activities that contribute positively to the family, household and child him or herself.

The Twin Cities’ suburbs and smaller surrounding cities are bursting with new home construction. What was once thousands of acres of lush fields of corn and soybeans is being transformed into single-family homes and townhome complexes.

The “city” is creeping ever closer to those rural areas we once referred to as “out in the country.”

It’s happening close to my home in Forest Lake, and a drive north on Interstate 35 from St. Paul is dotted with copious amounts of new home development.

Often, it’s the developer/builder that makes all the choices when it comes to what trees and shrubs will be planted around or near these new structures, and as far as trees go, it’s typically something in the maple, elm, birch or crabapple family.

When I was a garden center employee in the early 2000s, the autumn blaze maple was by far the most popular home landscape tree sold, followed by the Colorado blue spruce or some other evergreen. Both these choices have their problems, which unfortunately don’t reveal themselves until many years after they’re planted.

There is another choice that definitely stands the test of time – in fact, has been around for millions of years – and it’s the gingko tree (gingko biloba).

Native to China, the gingko is well-adapted to midwestern climate and conditions and is especially adaptable to urban conditions. They grow 25-50 feet high, are tolerant of a variety of harsh site conditions, are diseaseand pest-free, and are long-lived.

Their unique fan-shaped foliage, bright yellow autumn colors, and mature spreading branches immediately make them stand out from other common trees.

WIKIPEDIA

Gingko biloba trees are known for their fan-shaped leaves. Interestingly, the femaie tree produces a foul-smelling seed, so male trees are commonly the ones found for sale at tree farms and garden centers for use around dwellings.

Though slow-growing at first, it transplants easily in any type of soil, tolerates heat, air pollution and soil salt, grows well in confined areas and is a best first choice for a boulevard tree.

The female produces a rather foul-smelling seed, so male trees are preferred and most commonly sold.

And gingko trees will outlast us all. I saw one report of a gingko tree estimated to have lived 3,500 years! They are so tough that six of them survived the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 and though a bit charred, they all recovered.

Our own state of Minnesota will experience some dramatic changes in our landscape due to climate changes over the coming decades, and some trees that do well now in certain locations will die out altogether, so choosing a gingko tree for your landscape is a wise choice and one that will prove itself over the decades to come.

Donna Tatting is a Chisago County Master Gardener.

WIKIPEDIA

This “Autumn Gold” variety of gingko tree has leaves that turn a bright yellow in fall, making it stand out among other common trees.

TALKING WITH THE EXPERTS

Long-term care facilities highly regulated for safety, but adds complexity

BY UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA UNEWS@UMN.EDU

According to the Minnesota State Demographic Center, next year the state’s population age 65 and over is expected to eclipse those of K-12 age (5-17) – for the first time ever. Many among Minnesota’s aging population will need long-term care services.

Rajean Moone, faculty director of Long Term Care Administration at the College of Continuing & Professional Studies, answers questions about what long-term care is, who it affects and what the University of Minnesota is doing to help the state prepare the longterm care workforce.

What is long-term care?

Rajean Moone: Long-term care encompasses a wide range of services and supports for older adults and their family caregivers provided both in a person’s home and in a facility. Facility-based long-term services include licensed nursing homes. The Kaiser Family Foundation tracks the number of residents in certified nursing facilities, and there are 25,203 in Minnesota.

What services are provided in long-term care?

Rajean Moone: A long-term care facility (e.g.

How is the College of Continuing and Professional Studies working to improve long-term care?

nursing home) is a setting where comprehensive physical, mental and social health services are delivered to residents and their families. These services can include activities we would do in our homes such as housekeeping, food preparation, and regular home maintenance. In addition, nursing homes offer other health and wellness related services such as rehabilitation (e.g., physical therapy), spiritual care needs, nutrition support, counseling, chronic disease management, wound care, memory loss services and social activities.

Who seeks long-term care?

Rajean Moone: Long-term care is most often sought out by family members of older adults with chronic conditions, diseases or frailty which require 24-hour nursing supervision. These conditions make it nearly impossible for these individuals to live in their homes. More and more long-term care is needed for people experiencing memory loss, with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.

What are some of the issues facing long-term care?

Rajean Moone: According to Senior Housing News, long-term care facilities are the second most regulated industry in the nation, after nuclear power. While many of these regulations are designed to ensure quality care of older adults, they are quite complex and can be difficult and expensive to implement. Many of these laws

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Dr. Rajean Moone currently serves as the Faculty Director for Long Term Care Administration at the University of Minnesota. have been in place for decades and have not modernized as service delivery has evolved. In addition, most people living in nursing homes are supported through public programs which limit the amount of money paid to a facility for providing complex 24-hour care.

Rajean Moone: CCAPS is working to ensure that nursing homes meet the challenges presented with innovative, creative and knowledgeable nursing home administrators. Our Long-Term Care Administration course series couples academic content with applied information from 40 long-term care leaders. This course format equips future long-term care professionals with the knowledge and emerging practices they’ll need to evolve and improve this ever-changing field. Courses are blended with conference-style 1-3 day seminars spaced throughout the academic year. The courses cover eight domains of practice outlined in Minnesota state statute.

These domains include the study of aging and the aging process, law and regulations, healthcare finance, quality improvement, human resources, organizational management and nursing home operations.

DR. RAJEAN Moone currently serves as the Faculty Director for Long Term Care Administration at the University of Minnesota. In addition, he serves as executive director of the Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging and has an independent consulting agency, Moone Consulting, Inc. He has also held leadership positions with Training to Serve, Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging, and Greater Twin Cities United Way. He is also a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator in Minnesota.

SAFE: Efforts have placed 60 AEDs and trained 537 citizens to use them

BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR

Introducing the 2019 Isanti candidates The 2019 Isanti Ambassador candidates were introduced to the city council during the June 18 city council meeting. The Isanti Ambassador Coronation ceremony will be the grand finale of the Isanti Rodeo and Jubilee Days on Sunday, July 14, at 6 p.m. at the Isanti Middle School Auditorium.

PRINTING: Company chosen for reputation and technical support FROM PAGE I

Sperl said. “This was a great opportunity for us to try and align these things, consolidate them, and see what kind of savings it would present.”

Besides the cost savings, Sperl said that by going through this process, the district would also increase efficiency and functionality, reduce waste and improve document security.

Sperl said the current cost of printing for the district was $205,795 annually, not including the cost of paper. After going through a multi-tiered bidding process, Sperl said a team of technology staff and principals whittled the bids down to the two best options, which were from Marco and Loffler Companies.

According to Sperl, Marco’s cost estimate came in at the lowest amount of approximately $148,828, which would be a yearly savings for the district of $56,967. Loffler’s estimate was for a yearly cost of $165,710, for a yearly savings of $40,084.

“After the bids came in, I met with each of the principals and the tech representatives of each building,” Sperl said. “I had conversations with them about their interactions with the two companies and also the numbers. We wanted to make sure we were partnering with a company not only based on the financing, but also based on their reputation and the support we thought we could get.”

Sperl said the reaction was “unanimous that they wanted to go with Marco.”

Sperl said they will remove all of the existing printers and replace them with the same system, which Marco suggested as a Konica Minolta system.

“Everything will have the same type of interface,” Sperl said. “So any printer you go to to release your job – for staff, they will just scan their badge and it will release it for them. For students, they will put in their username and password to release it. So the days of ‘I printed this and was interrupted; I forgot, and then I printed it again,’ or ‘I printed it in the wrong place...’ It won’t be released and it won’t be charged to

us when it’s not released.”

The contract with Marco will be for five years, which should equate to a total savings of approximately $284,835, Sperl said.

CRITICAL BIDS FOR NEW BUILDING APPROVED After weeding through 122 bids for 24 bid categories, the district awarded bids for seven contracts that were deemed “critical” for the construction of the new building to house Riverside Academy, Moving Forward and the Level IV special education.

“We had great contractor coverage,” said outgoing buildings and grounds director Mark Eisenbacher. “We had good competition for bidding.”

However, despite that competition, the bid prices were higher than originally projected.

“Even though, as Mark mentioned, as competitive as it was, we are continuing to see construction prices keep increasing,” superintendent Dr. Ray Queener said.

“That tells us we got good pricing, but the pricing was higher than the estimates.”

To make up for that, Queener said the district went over the contracts with the architects and came up with some modifications to the contracts that would bring them back down to a more budget-friendly amount. He explained the original contracts would be approved at this time, and then a change order for the reduced amounts will come before the board in the future.

The seven critical contracts awarded were to Kelleher Construction, Inc., Rice Lake Construction Group, Thurnbeck Steel Fabrication, Inc., Kendell Door & Hardware, Inc., El-Jay Plumbing & Heating, Inc., Erickson Electric Company, Inc. and Dirtworks, Inc. “We have used a great majority of these contractors over the years,” Eisenbacher said. “We are very pleased with their work.

They have good reputations. We have no problem recommending them for these contracts.”

The board approved the seven contracts, which will initially total $5,445,241, by a 6-1 vote, with board member Aaron Berg casting the lone no vote.

MAJOR PARTNERS

sustained the commitment and reached the Heart Safe community designation.

The objectives created by the original group in early 2004 were to: • educate citizens about sudden cardiac arrest; • educate citizens on life-saving methods such as CPR; • improve heart health; • raise funds to install AEDs (automated external defibrillators) in community gathering places; • train residents to use AEDs to save lives.

Memorial Hospital Foundation Cambridge Medical Center Cambridge Fire Department Isanti Fire District (Al Jankovich, Isanti Fire District; Fire Chief accepted the certificate) Dalbo Fire Department Isanti County Public Health Allina Health EMS (Renee Hamdorf, Allina Heart Safe Coordinator accepted the certificate) Bruce Hildebrandt, Allina Health EMS Manager Will Pennings, Cambridge Fire Dept. Deputy Fire Chief Nick Gilmer, Allina Health Paramedic Kathy Minkler, Isanti County Public Health Director-Retired Dr. Mark Thayer, Formally of Cambridge Medical Center Travis Wood, Dalbo Fire Department Krista Jensen, Isanti County Public Health

THE PATH TO HEART SAFE Heart Safe is a program through the Minnesota Resuscitation Consortium, the American Heart Association, the Minnesota Department of Health and a team of statewide organizations.

A community reaches Heart Safe designation by acquiring points or “heartbeats” based on population size. Heartbeats are earned through community awareness programs, CPR training, AED placement and mapping, access to rapid emergency services and progressive hospital systems, and development of community hearthealthy activities.

First steps in reaching the goal included purchasing, granting and placing AEDs in vehicles with all first responders in the county, including police departments, fire departments, the sheriff’s office and safety-rescue.

After that, AEDs were placed in the community at social, learning and civic buildings such as schools, senior centers, city/county government centers, community centers and libraries.

The final phase was placement in private businesses and faith communities, such as dental offices and churches. At least 60 AEDs have been placed throughout Isanti County.

Another important factor in achieving the goal was training the community to recognize signs of sudden cardiac arrest and how to perform CPR and use the AEDs. Partners working to achieve the Heart Safe community designation have been training individuals throughout the county, and in 2017-2018, 537 community members received training.

“I can tell you from my personal experience, 95% of the cardiac arrests where we saved somebody, somebody was doing CPR when we got to that person,” Hamdorf stated. “So, it’s people in the public that really make that difference. We call it the chain of survival, and the first three links are early recognition – somebody noticing something that’s wrong and calling 911 – early CPR, good CPR; and early defibrillation.”

She noted that if any of those three links were missing, the next two links – advanced support and hospital/advanced care – really didn’t make much of a difference.

“We need those first three links,” she said, “and so having people in the public trained in CPR, recognition and using AEDs is so important.”

She added that many survivors of sudden cardiac arrest decide to assist in training the community in CPR and using AED. “Before they had a cardiac arrest, they had no idea what an AED was, and now they are out telling people how to use one and how to do CPR,” Hamdorf said.

GETTING AEDS INTO THE COMMUNITY Receiving his certificate of recognition for his role in achieving Heart Safe status for the county, Dr. Mark Thayer noted that being aware of people dropping dead of sudden cardiac arrest and being aware of AEDs is important.

“It’s not a heart attack,” he said, “It’s when electrical conduction of the heart somehow doesn’t work right and people end up dropping, so it’s sudden cardiac arrest.

At that point, every minute about 6-10% of the likelihood that they survive starts tick-

ing. And so, when I started this with Bruce and Kathy, it was the coordination of EMS, Cambridge, the county – and it was huge.”

Thayer said one success the county has seen since working toward the designation is that years ago organizations kept their AEDs locked up in a cabinet because they were so important.

“Well, that’s not where they would work,” he said, “because things don’t happen during a work day where someone says, ‘Oh, we have an AED.’” He said that in recent years AEDs have been well-marked and they are everywhere.

“Occasionally someone steals them,” he said, “Then they find out they are worthless, and they put them back.”

Acknowledging that Cambridge Police Department was one of the last first responders to want an AED, Thayer said he understood their hesitancy with having an additional piece of equipment for which they were responsible. However, Cambridge Police Department was also the first one to save a life in the county using AED. “One of the most impactful things for me is to go to the survivor dinner in downtown St. Paul,” Thayer said, noting hundreds of people that have dropped dead of sudden cardiac arrest are walking around in suits and ties and silk dresses celebrating life.

“Please, let people know there are AEDs throughout their community. This is really a big deal. There are people in this community that are alive because of all of the work that you have done.”

Isanti Fire District Chief Al Jankovich echoed Hamdorf’s and Thayer’s sentiments regarding AEDs, CPR and how important education and knowledge is for the survival of those who have a sudden cardiac arrest.

“From a first responder point of view, this stuff actually works, and it works very well,” he said. “Having been on some of the success sides of early CPR and defibrillation, it is amazing to see people out in the community after they have had this type of treatment. I think it’s well worth it. Thank you for your support.”

During the designation ceremony, 14 major partners were recognized. In addition, the cities of Braham, Cambridge and Isanti, along with Isanti County, were given road signs to display to show community members and visitors they are a Heart Safe community.

Any municipality, county or organization is eligible to apply for the Heart Safe designation. Separate application and requirements are available for schools or work sites.

Isanti clarifies council meeting procedures

BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM

It was a sort of flashback feeling at the June 18 Isanti city council meeting as the council made short work of the brief agenda.

During the meeting, which lasted just under 18 minutes, the one agenda item that received at least a moderate amount of discussion was the item to repeal and replace the ordinance on the rules of organization for council meetings.

“Originally, this came forward because, in reviewing Chapter 8, Section III (of the ordinance), we realized, in consultation with attorneys and the League of Minnesota Cities, that it could use some revising, as well as updating for things like clarity,” city administrator Josi Wood told the council.

During the discussion before the vote, council member Steve Lundeen addressed some concerns about this item that were posted on social media.

“I’d like people to understand, on citizen input, nothing has changed,” Lundeen said.

The part of the ordinance that was slightly changed was for placing an item on the meeting agenda. As before, if a resident talks directly to a council member, that council member can put an item directly onto an upcoming agenda. Besides that, for an item to be placed on the agenda, it

must first be brought before the Committee of the Whole.

“What people don’t realize is the Committee of the Whole is all of us on the council who make the decision (to put an item on the agenda),” Lundeen said. “Before, it was only a couple people who made that decision. So it actually is being more transparent than it ever has been.”

“Anyone can attend the Committee of the Whole meetings,” added mayor Jeff Johnson. “It’s pretty much what we’ve always had, we’re just putting it in black and white in writing.”

SPECIAL EVENT PERMITS APPROVED As is the case every year, the council formally approved special event permits to the North 65 Chamber of Commerce for the annual Jubilee Days parade, which this year will be held on Thursday, July 11, along with the events to be held on Saturday, July 13, including the kiddie parade down Main Street, Kids Day activities, the turtle races and the ever-popular outhouse races, which will be celebrating their 30th anniversary.

The second permit approved was for the rodeo itself, which will be held on Friday and Saturday evenings, July 12-13.

“This is a remarkable event you guys put on,” mayor Johnson said, and added in reference to last year’s rodeo, “Let’s hope nobody gets thrown into the crowd this year.”

Classes of 1960-61 will hold reunion CONTRIBUTED CAMBRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 1960

For graduates of Cambridge High School classes of 1960 and 1961, a reunion is being planned for Thursday, Aug. 22, at Sidelines Sports Grill, 138 2nd Avenue SE, Cambridge, for lunch around 11 a.m. Approximately 25 to 30 classmates and spouses are expected.

A blend of original and classic songs The band “Hitchville” entertained a large crowd during the first Isanti street dance, held on Saturday, June 22.

Despite having to dodge a brief shower at the beginning of the show, the audience enthusiastically enjoyed the band’s original music, along with their covering of some long-time classics. There will be two more street dances this summer; one on July 20 and another on Aug. 17.

Free summer concerts return STAFF REPORT NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM

The hills, parks and streets of Cambridge, Isanti and North Branch will again be alive with the sound of music throughout the summertime, as each city presents multiple free concerts for the communities to enjoy.

CAMBRIDGE Cambridge’s concerts, which are held at the bandshell in City Park, begin on Thursday, June 27, with a performance by “Brass Barn Polka Band.”

There will be no concert the following week due to the Fourth of July falling on that day. On July 11, one of the longest-running and wildly popular area bands, “The Whitesidewalls,” will bring their sounds to the park. On July 18, the Tom Petty tribute band “Free Fallin’” will perform.

“Boogie Wonderland” will take the audience back to the groovy ’70s on July 25. Finally, a comedy/music combination of Chad Filley and Sonny Winberg will close out the series.

The concerts will run from 6-8 p.m. each of the dates.

There will also be food trucks on site.

In case of inclement weather, the concerts may be moved to the Richard G. Hardy Performing Arts Center at Cambridge-Isanti High School.

NORTH BRANCH Central Park will again be the location of North Branch’s “Concerts in the Park: A Hometown Celebration,” which will be held on Tuesdays in July and August.

The fun gets started on July 9 with kids’ music favorite “Bob the Beachcomber.” On July 16, acoustic rock, country and pop musician Andy Spofford will entertain the crowd. July 23 features “Sweethearts Dinner Band,” with a rock, pop, alternative music selection. Country and rock band “Good Timin” will play

on July 30.

There will be a one-week break from live music as Night to Unite is scheduled for Aug. 6. That event will feature a DJ, however. The series concludes with popular country band “Monroe Crossing” on Aug. 13.

Each concert will begin at 7 p.m., with a kids’ story time taking place at 6:45 p.m. The first 50 families will each receive a free book.

There is no alternative, indoor location for these concerts, so in case of inclement weather, the affected concert will be canceled by 2 p.m.

ISANTI The popular street dances that run from 7-11 p.m. on

Main Street in downtown Isanti have already begun, with “Hitchville” performing last Saturday.

Next in line will be “Audio Circus,” who will bring their unique take on all forms of music to the stage on Saturday, July 20.

The third and final performance will be Saturday, Aug. 17, with “Good for Gary,” who will cover current Top 40 hits.

Their performance will also be the finale for the day’s “Celebrate Isanti” event.

In addition to the music, multiple food and beverage vendors will be on site.

The North Branch Midsummer Days carnival is a scream!

This young guy repeatedly waves to his family each time he passes by on the motorcycle ride.

“Look, ma, no hands!” was a common sight on many of the rides, but especially the Scrambler.

Big or small, everyone loves a parade

LORI ZABEL | COUNTY STAR

Members of the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band lend a festive air to the Midsummer Days Parade held in North Branch on Sunday, June 23. The day was overcast and 70 degrees – in contrast to last year’s parade held in 93-degree heat.

LORI ZABEL | COUNTY STAR

There was plenty of candy tossed from floats and vehicles in the parade that lasted almost an hour-and-a-half.

LORI ZABEL | COUNTY STAR

Three-year-old Logan Kleiter, of North Branch, was excited to see the fire trucks pass by – until he wasn’t. (see photo below)

North Branch Fire Department ignited smiles with this little engine and lots of candy.

LORI ZABEL | COUNTY STAR

A blast from the siren of a passing fire truck caught Logan Kleiter,3, off-guard.

JUNE 27, 2019

Assistance available for dairy and crop farmers The USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Minnesota is offering a special Environmental Quality Incentive Program sign-up for farmers who couldn’t plant their crops because of flooded or wet fields. The deadline for sign-up is Friday, July 12.

This EQIP sign-up is an opportunity for farmers to plant a cover crop, which they could later cut for hay or graze. It provides an alternative to letting fields go fallow and uncovered. Landowners should coordinate with other USDA farm agencies when participating in related programs.

The goal of the program is to encourage farmers to plant cover crops to increase water quality, suppress weeds

and improve soil health on areas not planted to crops. Cover crop roots reestablish soil health and create pathways for air and water to move through the soil, which is key to restoring it.

To apply for this special EQIP contact your local NRCS office by July 12. The Cambridge office, 380 Garfield St. S., can be reached at 763-689-3354. The North Branch office, 38814 3rd Ave., can be reached at 651-674-7051.

Applications will be ranked based on environmental benefits.

DAIRY FARMER ASSISTANCE The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) is rolling out its new Dairy Assistance, Investment and

Relief Initiative (DAIRI) program to provide financial assistance for dairy producers who enroll for five years of coverage in the USDA Farm Service Agency’s Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) program.

Applications to the program are being accepted now through Oct. 1, 2019. In order to qualify, farmers must have produced less than 160,000 cwt (hundredweight) of milk in 2018 and have signed up for five years of coverage through the DMC program during its current enrollment period between June 17, 2019, and Sept. 20, 2019.

The MDA will issue payments on a rolling basis. Producers can expect to receive their first payments roughly

two to four weeks after successfully applying. They will be paid based on production levels, up to 50,000 cwt of milk produced in 2018.

An application form, a W9, a copy of their DMC enrollment form, and a statement from their processor(s) detailing the amount of milk produced in 2018 are required to complete an application.

Producers may receive a second payment this fall after the application period has ended, depending on remaining available funds.

Additional information and the application forms are available at https:// www.mda.state.mn.us/dairi.

Strawberry pickin’ season is finally here CONTRIBUTED MN DEPT OF AGRICULTURE

Minnesota’s strawberry season is off to a slow start due to cold temperatures, but farmers expect to see an abundant berry season.

Because conditions vary from region to region, the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) recommends checking with your local patch for information on availability before heading out to the farm.

Strawberry season in Minnesota is short and sweet, typically two to three weeks long, but the length of harvest varies depending on varieties planted, weather and soil type.

In northeast Minneso-

METRO CREATIVE GRAPHICS

ta, Michael Lunemann of Lunemann’s Luney Berry Strawberry Farm noted that his crop is a few weeks behind. “A couple of fields are blooming, and by next week we’ll be in full bloom, so it’ll

be closer to the 10th of July before we open,” he said.

In southeast Minnesota, farmer Kelsey Fitzgerald of Willie Nillie Farm expects to see berries a little sooner.

“The crop went through the

LOCAL BERRY FARMS

winter really well, and they look lush. I am hoping to see ripe berries the third week of June,” she said. The farm includes fresh strawberries in its CSA (community-supported agriculture) shares each summer.

Use the MDA’s Minnesota Grown Directory, available in print or online at www. minnesotagrown.com/ search-directory/, to find local pick-your-own strawberry operations or farmers markets. The 2019 Directory includes 75 strawberry farms.

Order a free printed directory online at www.minnesotagrown.com/order-minnesota-grown-directory or call 1-800-657-3878.

These local strawberry farms began picking this week and expect a two-to-three-week season.

Can you find Waldo in Donate extra garden produce downtown Cambridge? to area senior dining sites STAFF REPORT NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM

Scout & Morgan Books will host its annual “Where’s Waldo Downtown Cambridge Scavenger Hunt” from July 1-26.

Scavenger hunters of all ages can search 25 area businesses for a small Waldo figurine.

When hunters find him, the business will issue a stamp or signature in the hunter’s passport, which can be picked up starting

July 1 at Scout & Morgan Books, 114 Buchanan St. N, Cambridge.

When hunters have at least 20 different business stamps/signatures, they can bring the passport to Scout & Morgan for a Waldo button and coupon.

They’ll also be entered into the prize drawing at the Where’s Waldo Party on Saturday, July 27, at 11 a.m. at Scout & Morgan.

Catholic Charities has a solution for a common problem for gardeners – what to do with extra produce they can’t eat or freeze.

The nonprofit has introduced a new program called “Plant a Row/Harvest a Row” which encourages gardeners to plant an extra row of fruits or vegetables for donating to senior dining sites.

Locally, Catholic Charities oversees the senior meals offered at the Chis-

ago County Senior Center, 38790 6th Ave., North Branch, Monday through Friday at 11:45 a.m. The North Branch kitchen also supplies meals for senior dining or Meals on Wheels at locations in Rush City, Isanti and Braham.

Produce may be dropped off at the North Branch kitchen or the Braham, Isanti or Rush City senior dining sites. Food will either be used in planned meals or given free to diners attending a meal.

Minutes by Tanya Tacker Published in the Isanti-Chisago County STAR on June 27, 2019

Ask A Trooper: Is it legal to pull over on a freeway to help a stopped vehicle?

Question: I recently saw someone pulled over to the side on the freeway with a flat tire. I pulled over also to approach them.

Was what I did illegal?

Answer: This is legal as you were stop-

ping on the freeway to offer assistance, and this would fit under the “emergency stopping” criteria in the law.

Minnesota law does not allow motorists to stop on a freeway unless it is for an emergency.

Signs are posted at all entrance ramps onto the freeway. Pedestrians, bicycles, motorized bicycles and non-motorized traffic also are prohibitAsk a ed onto the freeway.

If your vehicle ever Trooper becomes stalled on a Sgt. Neil roadway, attempt to move your vehicle out Dickenson of the lanes of traffic and as far off onto the shoulder as possible. Activate your 4-way flashers and call for assistance if needed.

Tow truck operators will change the flat tire for you or tow your vehicle to a safe location where it can safely be changed.

If you plan on changing a flat tire and you are in a dangerous section of the road, we can provide emergency lights and assistance, but the best and safest

MN STATE PATROL

It is legal in Minnesota to pull over on a freeway to offer help to a stranded motorist.

option is to call for a tow truck.

While waiting for assistance to arrive, stay in your vehicle and put on your seatbelt. In the event that your stalled vehicle is ever struck, being inside your vehicle with your seatbelt on can save your life and keep you from being injured.

If you are approaching a stalled vehicle and see someone changing a tire or working on their vehicle on the roadway,

slow down and move over for them, just like you would for an emergency vehicle.
