The Cambridge-Isanti Bluejacket girls track and field team celebrate winning the Section 7AA championship on Saturday, June 1, at Chisago Lakes High School.
Bluejacket track teams enjoy historic section results BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
Last year, the 2018 Bluejacket boys and girls track and field teams enjoyed unprecedented successes. The boys team won both the section “True Team” and “traditional” section championships. Both the boys and girls teams also achieved a school-record 10 state meet berths. To that, the 2019 Jacket teams simply responded with, to age-appropriately paraphrase a popular saying, “hold my Gatorade.”
During the Section 7AA track and field championships, held on May 29 and June 1 at Chisago Lakes, the Cambridge-Isanti girls team achieved their first section team championship in a long time, while the boys team, who again competed in the state “True Team” meet, along with winning the Mississippi 8 Conference championship earlier this season, came away with the section runner-up trophy. Along the way, the two teams combined for an incredible 15 individual and relay team state meet berths. SEE TRACK, PAGE 8

After being handed a new “credit card” via the state legislature’s approval of Cambridge’s .5% sales tax increase, the Cambridge city council went about “shopping” for the projects that will be funded by the money collected through the sales tax increase. Before going into the list of potential projects, city administrator Lynda Woulfe explained that the state requires the city to specifically list which projects will be funded and the amount of money dedicated to each project. She also said there are certain state requirements that limited what projects could be funded. “A specific capital project means a single building or structure, improvements within a single park or native recreation area, a continuous trail, a continuous segment of roadway or two or more continuous segments of roadway, and sanitary storm sewer or water project in continuous geographic area served by the project that is specifically described in the resolution,” Woulfe said. Woulfe also told the council that these specific projects must be submitted to the state’s commissioner of revenue and that the resolution must remain on the city’s website for the duration of the sales tax increase. She also updated earlier information by saying there must be a 90-day advance notice to the commissioner of revenue, so the sales tax will not go into effect until Oct. 1. Before voting on the projects to be funded (see itemized list to the right of this story), the council asked about a few projects that were on the original list of proposed projects that was presented to voters, but did not make the final list. Among those were a splash pad and pickleball courts. Woulfe explained that since they were allowed to fund

Luminous Splendor is the third and final installment of the three-part ballet, The Inner Beauty, produced by In His Steps Ballet & performing arts company. The first chapter, Reflective Transparency, debuted in 2016; “Our Volitant Province� debuted in 2018; and now “Luminous Splendor is a continuation of the ballet’s overarching theme of discovering one’s own inner beauty,� said Lisa McKinnis, Executive and Artistic Director of In His Steps. “In the second chapter, the characters summoned the power of flight and in doing so find freedom, healing, empowerment, and enlightenment,� McKinnis said. “In the third chapter, the characters now struggle between reality and fantasy, learning to navigate the unseen, yet real, powers that attempt to influence, distract, or derail them from utilizing their inner beauty to bring light into the darkness.� Themes within the finale include wrestling with mental illness, and/or emotional turmoil, and combating hatred with love, mercy & grace. All of which is over come by the power of the joined forces of Inner Beauty that brings about Luminous Splendor.
CHAMBER SCHOLARSHIPS Each year, the Chamber awards two scholarships to the upcoming graduating class. This directly supports our mission to “enhance the relationship between business and community for a vibrant future,� as these students ARE our future. The Chamber is proud to announce the winners of the 2019 Chamber Scholarships.

DIRECTOR’S CORNER My wife and I have just completed our first school year as “empty nesters.� I can honestly say that I’m glad we had a chance to raise our kids here in North Branch. After our first year on our own, I miss the chaos and fun of Thursday night soccer during the summer and Wednesday night “wristband� night - when the carnival took over Central Park in June - was a can’t miss event (not to mention the cheese curds). Middle school volleyball games and choir concerts were pre-requisites, as well as the Grand March at prom and - of course - graduation. Living in North Branch has been a blessing to our family. I recognize that our positive experience was a community effort. There have been some outstanding teachers that went the extra step to befriend, lead and guide our
children at critical times. Quality Sunday school leaders showed care and concern beyond just passing on information. Numerous volunteers who put on community events that our family has enjoyed together, as well as providing some fond memories. Coaches who were willing to step up and volunteer their time to lead packs of wild kids while receiving unsolicited coaching tips on how playing time should be distributed. For all those who invested their time and energy, I sincerely thank you. Our community will only be as strong as the people who reside in it and to the extent these good people invest their time, resources and energy to it. For those who give and volunteer, thank you! We may not always see immediate results, but the investment does pay off. Frank Gomes NorthBrook Church NBA Chamber Board of Directors

Story shows difference between local and regional media On Sunday, KSTP-TV ran what they called an “investigative report” regarding the recent firing of Isanti police chief Gene Hill in which they explained what the accusations against Hill were that led to his termination. With the release of this story, I’m sure some are wondering why a Twin Cities media outlet did this story and not any of the local media. The short answer to that is we did try to get that information, but it wasn’t released to us. In total fairness, that information could not be released until about now, anyway, due to data privacy rules. There is also a bigger picture with this, though. In their story, not only did KSTP Worth a specify the allegations made against Hill, Thousand but they expanded on that to make an issue out of the fact that it supposedly took over a Words year for any action to be taken against Hill. Bill And that’s where I take issue with their story. Stickels III I have stated many times that one of the primary jobs of the media is to be the “watchdog for the community.” That is what KSTP started out doing in exposing the specifics of the allegations. This is the information that is important, and if it had stopped there, I would have been right alongside in reporting the story for the benefit of our readers who weren’t able to see KSTP’s airing. Once KSTP deviated from that story, however, they crossed a line in the ethics of journalism by attacking city attorney Clark Joslin for supposedly not taking action against Hill. I’m not going to use this space to defend Joslin. But rather, I am going to point out that KSTP’s story was riddled with inaccuracies and contradictions, and they presented no real evidence to back up their claims. Because of all of that, it was painfully clear that their report had turned into a smear job simply because Joslin refused to make any sort of comments to them. And that’s where they crossed the line. One of the core principles of journalism is “to do no harm.” Journalists are to keep in mind that what we write about impacts the lives of the people we report on. “Big” news media often seem to forget about that, or more succinctly, they don’t seem to care about it. In cases like this, they will never see Hill or Joslin again, so why would they give a second thought to how their story will impact them? They just care about getting another notch in their “investigative reporting” belt. But we local media must be hyper-attentive to the aspect of “do no harm.” The people we report on are our neighbors, friends, or at the very least, someone we may come across again in the future. Don’t get me wrong, we will continue to report on hard news stories, even though they might make the subject look bad. But in doing so, I pledge that we will do our best to do so in an unbiased way, and we will make sure that everything we report can somehow be directly corroborated. Conversely, what we won’t do is the sort of smear tactics employed by KSTP or other “big” news outlets. No amount of attention to our stories are worth potentially ruining a person’s life, even for a short period of time. It is a delicate balance of continuing to be the “watchdog,” but also in “doing no harm,” but I promise you we will do our best to maintain that balance.

For a complete list of summer park events, please visit our new website at www. ci.cambridge.mn.us/events. Cambridge Summer also kicks off the preparation of the city’s 2020 budget. City Views While taking on a bike ride on the Cambridge-Isanti Bike Walk Trail Lynda is definitely more fun, working on Woulfe the city’s budget and tax levy is extremely important and takes a d l off tteamwork to get it put together. greatt deal The city will once again have Balancing Act available on our website (www.ci.cambridge. mn.us/balancing-act) so residents can get their taxpayer receipt and provide comments on where they would invest the city’s tax dollars for the biggest return on services and programs.

Lynda Woulfe is city administrator of the city of Cambridge.
Isanti city attorney Clark Joslin took the opportunity at Tuesday night’s city council meeting to address the council and public regarding a KSTP Channel 5 investigative report into the firing of Isanti police chief Gene Hill. In that report, which aired during the 10 p.m. newscast on Sunday, June 2, Joslin was portrayed as refusing to take action against Hill after concerns were raised by a judge regarding Hill’s apparent lack of credibility during a trial involving former Isanti police officer Rod Barrows. “No doubt, most everyone here this evening have seen the media reports concerning matters that were addressed with regard to how it was handled, and how that was portrayed in terms of my role,” Joslin began. “I felt it was only appropriate, that I owe it to the council as well as the public, to make a comment regarding that situation.”
Attorney Clark Joslin
Apologizing for what the city is going through in this situation and how it reflects on everyone, including himself, Joslin said the role of city attorney is difficult at times. Citing that public attorneys have to balance data privacy that affects employees, former employees and others with the right and obligation to keep the public informed, they also have a responsibility to adhere to professional ethics, “which should come naturally,” he added, noting it is not always easy to foresee and address issues that may be called into question. Over the time he has served Isanti, which is
approximately 40 years as assistant city attorney and city attorney, Joslin said he tried to do the job well, and he believes he has done it well. “The portrayal of my role in the matter by the press called into question my integrity, and I want to tell the council and the public that I stand by the advice, and how I handled my advice, to the city in that matter,” Joslin said. “I will continue to try to do my utmost to represent the best interest of the city at all times. It’s what I’ve always done, and I will always continue to do that.” He added that “there is information that cannot be relayed to the press or the public due to the data practices act, data privacy and attorney/ client privilege. For that reason, it is not appropriate for me to address a number of specifics that would be nice to address in public. But it isn’t public data and is not to be shared, and could have consequences negatively to the city if I breach any of those duties.” Noting he can share
information with the council, and that he has and will continue to do so, Joslin said he believes he acted appropriately. He also said he does not think the coverage of this situation depicted a lot of the information that went into the decisions he made in advising the council. Stating that the council will continue to have his support as it always has, and he will continue to do the best job he can for the city, doing it ethically and to the best of his judgment and ability, Joslin concluded, “There are occasions when reasonable minds may differ over the appropriate course of action or steps to be taken. That happens. But always I’ve tried – in instances where I have disagreed with opinions of others – I do that respectfully and in an appropriate manner and not to disparage or create controversies that are not beneficial to the resolution of matters moving forward with city business. That’s my style and will continue to be so.”

Cambridge Public Works receives award Cambridge Public Works staff receive a certificate of Commendation from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for complying with the MPCA’s National Pollution Discharge Elimination System/State Disposal System wastewater permit program. According to Public Works/Utilities director Todd Schwab, this is the 11th award the city has received.
Author to speak on ‘magical’ book CONTRIBUTED SCOUT & MORGAN BOOKS
Scout & Morgan Books in Cambridge will welcome award-winning author Anika Fajardo to share her memoir, “Magical Realism for Non-Believers: A Memoir of Finding Family” on Saturday, June 8, at 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. at the store. The intriguingly titled book tells the story of how Anika came to be a Minnesotan. The University of Minnesota Press describes the book, “‘He loved Colombia too much to leave
it.’ The explanation from her Minnesotan mother was enough to satisfy a child’s curiosity about her missing father. But at 21, Anika Fajardo wanted more. She wanted to know her father better and to know what kind of country could have such a hold on him. And so, in 1995, Fajardo boarded a plane and flew to Colombia to discover a birthplace that was foreign to her and a father who was a stranger. Family, she comes to find, is where you find it and what you make of it.” Anika Fajardo was born in Co-
lombia and raised in Minnesota. She has earned awards from the Jerome Foundation, the Minnesota State Arts Board, and the Loft Literary Center. She is a writer, editor and teacher who lives with her family in Minneapolis. The manuscript for “Magical Realism for Non-Believers” was a finalist for the Bakeless Literary Prize in Creative Nonfiction.

worked in this area for so many years, first in Pine County, then in Carlton County. The support from our readers and advertisers allowed us to grow from one newspaper and the Minnesota Flyer, to four newspapers, a shopper, the aviation magazine and then later the retail store in Sandstone.” “This fit is rather natural as we have adjoining newspapers,” said Gene Johnson. “Tim has been clearly committed to providing news and advertising in print and digital with local and regional appeal. Community newspapers really become the ownership of the communities themselves. We are here to produce it.” Franklin will be staying on for a few months to help with the transition. “Tim’s knowledge and trust with readers, advertisers and employees is important,” said Matt McMillan, CEO for the Johnsons. “We’re planning to recruit a group publisher as we join Tim’s operations with our Northstar Media and Kanabec Publications divisions. In the meantime, we’re pleased Tim’s agreed to stay on this summer.” Northstar Media and Kanabec Publications includes the Isanti-Chisago County Star, Pine City Pioneer, Kanabec County Times and Advertiser, as well as the printing facility in Cambridge. Johnsons also own a suburban group based out of White Bear Lake, Minn., a group of Wisconsin publications and ownership in Publishers Printing, Inc., a central plant in Amery, Wis. “Community newspapers today can be successful in a group with a central printing plant, production and business offices,” Johnson said. “We’ve been fortu-

nate to handle printing for Tim Franklin’s company for the past 10 years.” “I want to give thanks to everyone who has helped us in this incredible 16-and-a-half-year journey,” Franklin said, “from moving to the area not knowing one person, to being friends with so many from Pine to Carlton counties. Newspapers make a difference – since the beginning of the printing press – and are more important today in the digital and print age. Weekly newspapers make a difference in their communities. Thank you for allowing us this wonderful ride. I would ask you to please support the new owners as you supported me all those years ago.” McMillan said publisher-owners like Franklin understand the value of community and local news. “Tim shared a testimonial about a regular advertiser,” McMillan said, “who recently told him his best marketing response comes from his campaign to reach his readers. We know
people who read these print and digital editions are among the best-engaged residents including being the best consumers in any market. Readers care about community. Tim’s worked hard to build trust with readers. We plan to keep his work going.” “As a newspaper owner, I have always thought of us as just stewards of these great institutions,” Franklin said. “The community tells us when we are doing good things and not so good things. I know my wife Mary, and my children Emilee and Savannah, will have cherished memories of owning these publications. We have found a new owner who will be committed to the same principles of putting out great products and at the same time taking care of my former employees.” Johnson kept the door open for collaboration with Franklin. “We invite your cooperation providing ideas, suggestions and recommendations,” Johnson said. “Our goal is to be the best source of local information.”
SALES TAX: Library completion set for May 2020 FROM PAGE I
improvements to only one park, they chose Sandquist because “it has been in the (long-range) plan the longest.” However, by funding Sandquist improvements with sales tax revenue, funds budgeted for Sanquist will be freed up for other projects. Mayor Jim Godfrey also noted that Sandquist was the most expensive of the possible projects, which would make it easier for the city to fund the other projects on their own. “We just can’t use local option sales tax for them, but we can use city revenues,” Woulfe said. For example, the splash pad could be paid for with additional revenues from Northbound Liquor, which would have otherwise been used for other parks projects. “This is going to enable us to put in a splash pad earlier than what it looked like if this didn’t pass,” confirmed city council member Lisa Iverson. In terms of the pickleball courts, Woulfe said those would be included in the 2020 street improvement project bidding, much like the original pickleball courts were funded.
LIBRARY TIMELINE MODIFIED Because the state legislature took longer than expected to approve the sales tax increase, Woulfe asked the council to amend the purchase agreement
TRACK: Coaches named section Coaches of the Year
‘This is going to enable us to put in a splash pad earlier than what it looked like if this didn’t pass.’ Lisa Iverson Cambridge Council Member the council had previously approved for the housing of the library at the old Gables East building. “Now that the local sales tax has passed, the other thing we need to do is update the purchase agreement for the new library with the new delivery dates,” Woulfe said. “Now that we know we can begin construction, substantial completion is now set for April 15, 2020, and final completion by May 2020.” CITY BUYS A UTV Police chief Todd Schuster came before the council to request permission to purchase a Yamaha Viking UTV that the department had actually been using on loan from Larson’s Cycle for the past two years. Schuster explained that the original loan agreement, which was entered into by then-chief Dwyer, included a provision that the UTV would be returned to Larson’s Cycle every six months and a
new UTV would then be issued. “It was never returned to Larson’s during any portion of the agreement,” Schuster said. “Therefore, putting us in violation of the agreement. Larson’s Cycle contacted us a couple weeks ago and informed us we now had to purchase the UTV because Yamaha contacted them and said they had to buy it. Returning it to them was not an option at that point.” Schuster said the UTV only has 56.4 engine hours and 300 miles on it, so it was in “almost new” condition. He also said Larson’s will sell it to the city for $10,600, which is $4,500 below the original manufacturer’s suggested retail price. When asked how this oversight had occurred, Schuster admitted he had not seen the original contract. “I would assume it’s somewhere in the laserfiche system,” he said. Woulfe added that she also wasn’t aware it needed to be returned every six months. “They just said we couldn’t draw holes in it or make permanent modifications or adjustments to it,” she said. Schuster said the UTV will be utilized in things like parades, during inclement weather and to reach areas that can’t be reached with a squad car.
GIRLS RESULTS It was a virtual photo finish for the team title between C-I and perennial section power Forest Lake, with the deciding points coming in the last two events of the meet. “Throughout the prelims and finals, we traded the lead with them back and forth,” C-I girls head coach Mike Galligan said. “Going into the meet, we had hopes of being a contender but knew that Forest Lake would be a very tough opponent to beat. The girls never backed down performing with all their heart to achieve their fastest, furthest and highest results of the season.” Although having four individuals and two relays qualify for state – the first- and second-place finishers advance to state – certainly helped their cause, it was a pair of non-state-qualifying results that sealed the deal for the Jackets. The 4x400 relay team “ran absolutely out of their minds” Galligan said, in dropping six seconds off their season-best time and beat Forest Lake for third place by eight hundredths of a second. At the exact same time, Char Morke and Ashley Lawrence’s firstand fourth-place finishes added valuable team points compared to Forest Lake’s Sophia Dodge’s third-place finish in the pole vault. Besides those obvious results, Galligan was quick to point out a few other key finishes that contributed to the team win. “Jess Illg had a great 400-meter race, breaking her own school record and placing fifth,” Galligan said while rattling off a long list of accomplishments. “Emily Jones gave it quite a run in the triple jump by going well over a foot beyond her personal record and coming in just a 3/4-inch behind (teammate) AnnaGrace (Nelson). “Words cannot express how excited we are and how happy the coaching staff is for these athletes,” he continued. “They’ve worked incredibly hard all season. They are a group of dedicated teammates, and they lift everyone up with their determination and enthusiasm.” Advancing to the state meet for the girls team will be Kaylee Clement (first, 100), AnnaGrace Nelson (second, high jump and triple jump), Char Morke (first in pole vault for the third year in a row and new section record-holder at 12’3”), along with the 4x100 (second place) and 4x200 (first place) relay teams.
BOYS RESULTS The script was flipped on the boys side of the meet. Forest Lake managed to hold off the Jackets to claim the section team title, with C-I still taking home some team hardware for the second year in a row. “It’s pretty rare to score that many points in a section meet with 16 teams and not win it,” C-I boys head coach Kent Viesselman said. “It is a real testament to how tough the section was on the boys side. Forest Lake’s athletes and coaches did a fantastic job and deserve a lot of credit for their performance. “Section runner-up caps off a great year of conference championship and state True Team berth,” he continued. “The boys have performed at a high level consistently the whole year, and I have been extremely proud of them.” The large team points Viesselman mentioned came mostly courtesy of a total of seven individual state meet berths, along with two relay teams. The highlight of these easily came in the pole vault, where not only did senior Joseph Stauffer take first and sophomore Ethan Hintermeister take second, but junior Amadeus Mcelrath placed third and also qualified for state based on clearing a height of 13’8”. Besides those three, Blaze Krueger will again compete at state in both the shot put and discus courtesy of his first- and second-place finishes in those two events. Sophomore Gaven Ziebarth captured first place in the 100 and senior Dylan Jones took second in the 200 to enable both of them to compete at state. Finally, the boys relay teams copied the girls in qualifying for state in both the 4x100 and 4x200 after finishing in second place in both events. “The assistant coaches have done an amazing job again this year, which is evident in the sheer number of events that will be represented at the state meet,” said Viesselman. “We are now looking to perform our best there and see what happens.” The state meet for both the boys and girls will be held at Hamline University on June 7-8. Start time both days is 9 a.m. COACHES AWARDS It wasn’t just the athletes who captured awards during the section meet, but also the coaches, as both Viesselman and Galligan were named Section 7AA head coaches of the year. This was the first time Galligan received the honor and the sixth time for Viesselman.

Bluejacket girls golf sends two to state BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
The Cambridge-Isanti girls golf team broke new ground during the Section 7AAA tournament, held on May 30 and June 1. The Jackets shot a school-record 352, placing fifth out of 13 teams. In the process, two Jackets, Jasmyn Sibell and MollyAnn Harvey, qualified for the individual golf tournament, which will be held June 11-12 at Bunker Hills. “Words cannot express how excited I am for these girls to experience the chance to play in the state tournament,” head coach Steve Hanson said. “They have worked so hard for this opportunity and really deserve it.” Sibell, who has played consistently all season according to her coach, did the same during sections, shooting an 81 on

the first day and an 82 on the second day to finish in sixth place. Harvey had to rely on her ability to compete under pressure after shooting Steve Hanson an 85 on the first CIHS girls golf coach day. “She knew she had to shoot a low score in the final round and she did it, birdieing the final hole to make the cut by a single stroke,” Hanson said. Her 164 score placed seventh at sections. “MollyAnn said on the ride up that it would be a dream if both she and Jazzy made it to state,” Hanson concluded. “Well, MollyAnn, some dreams do come true.”

Viking track battles hard at sections BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
Going up against a crowded, 16-team field mostly made up of schools much larger than theirs, the North Branch Vikings boys and girls track and field team knew they were going against some long odds. Despite that, the Vikings showed grit and determination in achieving several personal bests and placing a few on the awards stand at Section 7AA meets on May 29 and June 1 at Chisago Lakes High School. In doing so, the Vikings also ended their one-year drought of sending someone to the state meet as sophomore Paige Bauer soared to a second-place finish in the pole
vault to earn her first trip to state. Even if another competitor had topped her height, the sophomore was guaranteed a spot due to matching the minimum qualifying standards of 11’1”. The team came close to qualifying in more events, but fell just short against the stiff competition. The girls 4x200 team came in less than two seconds after the second-place team from Elk River for the closest miss on the girls side. For the boys, Matthew Stuber and Joseph Nihart came in with nearly identical times in the 1600 meter run, placing third and fourth, just a second away from one of them qualifying for state. Jose Flor was the top pole vaulter not competing for Cambridge-Isan-
ti (who sent three competitors to state), placing fourth in the event. Savannah Hoard and Jerome Swan each qualified for the finals in the 200, with both of them finishing in sixth. Nihart would also medal in the 1600, coming in fifth, and Stuber would add an eighth in the 3200. Rounding out the medalists was Harrison Toussaint’s seventh place in the high jump, Alex Puckett’s eighth place in the 400, Abby Schulte’s seventh and Katelynn Mcabee’s eighth in the shot put and the girls 4x100 relay’s sixth place. Bauer will now compete in the state meet on Saturday, June 8. The start time for pole vault is scheduled for 9 a.m.
Minnesotans with an all-terrain vehicle registered for private or agricultural use won’t need to pay the additional registration fee ($53.50 for three years) to ride the state’s public ATV trails, Friday through Sunday, June 7-9. Out-of-state riders can explore Minnesota ATV trails that weekend as well, without the need for a nonresident trail pass ($21 annually). “We see this weekend as a great opportunity to showcase the wide variety of state and grant-inaid trails across Minnesota,” said Erika Rivers, DNR Parks and Trails Division director. “There are many privately registered ATVs across the state that, during this weekend, can give the public trails a try for free.” This is the fourth year that Minnesota is providing ATV riders with free access to more than 3,000 miles of state forest and grant-in-aid (GIA) trails during “No Registration Weekend.” The event falls on the second weekend in June each year. Some places to explore include: - The Iron Range Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) State Recreation Area. This 1,200-acre OHV park in Gilbert has 36 miles of scenic trails for riders of all abilities. - The 100-mile trail system in Nemadji State Forest in Pine County, which connects to the Matthew Lourey State Trail and the Gandy Dancer Trail for more riding opportunities. Gafvert Campground offers first-come, first-served camping. - The 29-mile Spider Lake trail system in Foot Hills State Forest, Cass County, where riders will curve around lakes and ponds, go up and down a variety of hills, and view overlooks from the ridges throughout the forest. - The 200-mile Northwoods Regional Trail System in Aitkin and Itasca counties, where riders will use the Soo Line Trail to connect to great communities and trail loops. For more information about these and many other trails, check out www.mndnr.gov/ohv. Always put safety first when out on the trails. Safety training is recommended for everyone who operates an ATV. It is required for ATV riders born after July 1, 1987. Anyone under age 18 must wear a DOT certified helmet while driving or riding an ATV. Kids 16 and under must fit the ATV they are operating and be able to properly reach and control the handlebars and reach the foot pegs while sitting upright on the ATV. Trail maps, updates on trail conditions, Youth ATV Safety training, full OHV regulations, and other OHV information can be found online at www.mndnr.gov/ohv.

Cambridge man wins at Brainerd raceway BY GEOFF GORVIN CONTRIBUTED
Kyle Lundberg, of Cambridge, was one race away from a sweep last weekend at Brainerd Int’l Raceway in the International Watercross Association’s Wet & Wild Weekend events. In the Pro Bike/Sled class, Lundberg rode a 2012 Suzuki to a win in Saturday’s finals against Bruce Sampson and his 1999 Suzuki. Although Lundberg was 3/1,000ths of a second away from a perfect reaction time on the starting line, he couldn’t hold off Sampson at the finish line. Sampson caught and passed Lundberg, finishing with a winning time of 8.200 seconds at 157.30 mph. Sunday was a different story. Lundberg knocked off three other riders to return to the finals where he faced off against Bob Tallberg, of Burnsville, on the back of a 2003 SkiDoo sled. Lundberg nearly had another perfect reaction time, but it was a moot point as Tallberg fouled at the starting line, handing Lundberg the win.

Fewer minnows, more soft baits BY RAY GILDOW NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
I have been writing about the hard times that minnow trappers and bait shops are having collecting minnows for a number of years now. This winter has been one of the harder ones for folks who trap their minnows from rearing ponds. The harsh temperatures and the extreme snow fall have made trapping fat heads, shiners and sucker minnows very hard to come by. The end result for anglers is there are fewer minnows to buy and the cost has been going up. Rising costs and minnow shortages are not the fault of trappers or the bait shops, it is just simply the basic concept of supply and demand. When there are not enough to go around everyone is going to pay more for what they can get. Adding to the problem is that more and more lakes and rivers are being infected by aquatic invasive species and these bodies of water then become off limits to the trappers. It is a problem that is going to get worse, not better.
Soft plastics and crankbaits have been around for a long time but both of these types of baits are now made better and look more realistic. I was fishing on the west side of Leech Lake on the second day of the fishing opener this year and I was amazed at the number of anglers who were throwing soft plastic baits. I saw guys trolling crankbaits as well. This should not be a surprise if you think about it. The outdoor fishing shows are promoting these baits like crazy and they work. I have a number of friends who no longer use live bait for fishing walleyes and crappies. They have good days and bad days with artificial baits just like those of us who use live bait. I have a very large spot in my heart for bait shop owners. It is a tough way to make a living and not having enough live bait in the store makes it even more difficult. But for the average angler spending ten to twelve dollars on a dozen shiners or fat head minnows means they just have to explore other options for fishing. Sadly, it is just the sign of the times.

Tips for growing rhubarb BY JERRY VITALIS CHISAGO COUNTY MASTER GARDNER
I came across an old article with a different slant on raising rhubarb. I think it came from a couple who wrote for a magazine called The Good Earth. The authors were a couple who had a truck farm and they planted their rhubarb plants with a full southern exposure, applying generous amounts of organic matter. The key factor was it permitted them to be the first ones to sell their rhubarb at the market. They would METRO CREATIVE GRAPHI CS average 100 pounds With careful weeding and a week of stalks for six attention, rhubarb plants weeks, and back then can grow an average of 100 they were selling the rhubarb for only 15 cents pounds a week of stalks in their six-week growing season. a pound. They kept renovating their crop with new plants, and no stalks were pulled the first year from those new plants, and only a few the second year. This would enable the new plants to gain strength for a long life ahead. One of the new things I learned from this article was they got rid of the curled dock weed that was anywhere close to the rhubarb. This weed is a host for rhubarb ring spot and the Curculio beetle. When I looked at a picture of the weed, I realized that I have those weeds in my asparagus patch. They rid the patch of the curled dock weed in July because by destroying the weed, they destroyed the eggs of the beetle as well. The couple felt that it was absolutely necessary to build up the hills in the fall. Otherwise, the crowns would become so large with small buds that only the slender stalks would be produced. After the rhubarb harvest is over around the first of July, the plants should be allowed to grow into strong leaf growth for healthy leaves come spring. Soon after the ground was frozen they covered the rows with straw manure to protect the plants from the cold and to encourage early growth in the spring. Jerry Vitalis is a Chisago County Master Gardner.

DNR seeks volunteers for loon monitoring program CONTRIBUTED MN DEPT OF NATURAL RESOURCES
The Department of Natural Resources is seeking volunteers for its loon monitoring program. As part of this effort, the DNR has launched a new online system that will help volunteers identify lakes available for monitoring. Volunteers will be able to use the system to manage their lake assignments, view information for their lakes, and print datasheets. “This new system improves data collection and user interaction, greatly increasing the efficiency of the sign-up process for volunteers and enriching the volunteer experience,” said Krista Larson, DNR nongame research biologist. The program is recruiting volunteers to count the number of adult and juvenile loons on pre-selected lakes. The annual loon
count gives the DNR the ability to detect changes in the adult loon population and to anticipate any problems that could jeopardize the future of loons in Minnesota. Volunteers are needed for one morning between Friday, June 28 and Monday, July 8 to help count loons on 150 specific lakes in Aitkin, Becker, Crow Wing, Cook, Itasca, Kandiyohi, Lake, and Otter Tail counties. Detailed instructions, training materials, maps and a data form will be provided. The time commitment is two to four hours per lake. Surveys must be done sometime between 5:00 a.m. and noon. Volunteers must complete assigned lake(s) within the specified time frame and return completed survey materials. The online system was funded by donation from the Minnesota United soccer team, whose mascot is a loon. “The Nongame Wildlife Program is grateful to

This will be the second year the Center has offered the trip for veterans that are disabled or dealing with PTSD and other specified traumas. “Last year’s trip was amazing,” said Hayes Scriven, executive director of the Center. “It was one of the better trips I have ever been a part of. We wanted to give back in another way to the veteran community, and we were able to do that in a unique way.” The mission of the Richard I.

Kids can travel back in time at pioneer school sessions CONTRIBUTED ISANTI COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Isanti County Historical Society says it’s that time of year again – for the annual pioneer school sessions at historic Spencer Brook School, located between Bradford and Princeton.

Classes will be offered from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. in five-day sessions: Monday, June 24, through Friday, June 28, and again Monday, Aug. 12 through Friday, Aug. 16. A short program for families will be performed each Friday. Space is limited. The cost is $75 per student or $65 if a family member is a current member of the Isanti County Historical Society. Students are asked to dress in old-fashioned

Center and Isanti Community Center on June 17. Braham time is 10 a.m.; Isanti time is 1 p.m. The puppets will be used to tell the story of “Loon’s Song.” In it, as the constellations move into their spring location, Grandfather Turtle eagerly awaits the return of his beloved granddaughter, Loon.

he used to guide her as she matured. Loon’s Song, a program led by In the Heart of the Beast puppeteers Julie and Gustavo Boada, will be held at each Outreach location from June 17-20. No registration is necessary. Julie Boada is an Anishinabe artist, puppeteer and arts educator. Gustavo Boada is a theater-based, multidisciplinary artist with more than 25 years
experience working in professional theater. For more events and information, visit the events calendar at ecrlib.org and follow ECRL on Facebook. This project is funded with money from Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

In His Steps Ballet & Performing Arts Company will debut a new, original ballet titled “Luminous Splendor: The Inner Beauty” to be performed June 21-22 at 6 p.m. at Ogilvie High School, 333 School Drive, Ogilvie. Doors open at 5:45 p.m. Tickets will become available June 15 at InHisStepsBallet.com/ Events. The event is free with a recommended donation of $10 per ticket to offset production costs. All seats are assigned, and tickets must be secured prior to the show. For information or if unable to secure tickets online, email Lisa@inhisstepsballet.com or call 612-991-9556. LAST IN A TRILOGY OF PERFORMANCES Luminous Splendor is the third and final installment of the threepart ballet, “The Inner Beauty,” produced by In His Steps Ballet & Performing Arts Company. The first chapter, “Reflective Transparency,” debuted in 2016; “Our Volitant Province” debuted in 2018; and now “Luminous Splendor” is a continuation of the ballet’s overarching theme of discovering one’s own inner beauty, according to Lisa McKinnis, executive and artistic director of In His Steps. “In the second chapter, the characters summoned the power of flight and in doing so find freedom, healing, empowerment and enlightenment,” McKinnis said.
CONTRIBUTED
“In the third chapter, the characters now struggle between reality and fantasy, learning to navigate the unseen, yet real, powers that attempt to influence, distract or derail them from utilizing their inner beauty to bring light into the darkness.” Themes within the finale include wrestling with mental illness, emotional turmoil, combating hatred – all of which are overcome by the power of the joined forces of Inner Beauty that brings about Luminous Splendor. “Luminous Splendor” features original choreography by McKinnis and the students of In His Steps, as well as original musical compositions by Kathryn and Andy Karg of 2gether Productions, LLC. In His Steps, in its finale, will bring live music to the stage again in collaboration with Paul Imholte. “What you will find unique about our regional ballet compa-
ny is its ability to incorporate a wide variety of genres of music,” McKinnis said. “Our dancers interpret alternative musical pieces from Twenty One Pilots and Imagine Dragons, pop music pieces by Avril Lavigne and Camilia Cabello; instrumental creations of Derek Fiechter, various Christian and gospel music of King & Country and Bethel music, not to mention the interesting twist of indie rock by House of Waters and similar sounds by Paul Imholte, one of the featured local artists.” In His Steps Ballet & Performing Arts Company is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Cambridge that serves local youth through multidisciplinary instruction in the performing arts. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation form the arts and cultural heritage fund.

Your Lawn and Garden Guide Improve the Environment with Trees Climate plays a deciding role when determining the appropriate planting time for a new tree. Newly planted trees do best when exposed to moderate temperatures and rainfall and they need time to root and acclimatize before the onset of intense heat and dryness of mid-summer or the freezing temperatures of winter. Spring and early fall are generally the best tree planting seasons. Appropriate soil temperature Since warm soil promotes stronger and faster root growth, you should plant a tree when the soil temperature is over 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Dig the right size hole A newly planted tree will do better in a shallow yet wide hole because new roots will grow horizontally from the sides of its root ball. If the hole is expansive enough, the tree will have plenty of room to stretch out its roots, encouraging it to grow at a quicker pace. Make sure the root ball is level with the soil Once the tree is removed from its container and placed in a freshly-dug hole, lay a spade or shovel across the top of the hole. Th is will help determine if the top
of the root ball is level with the soil line. If the root ball is buried too deep or not deep enough, its roots will fail to establish, causing the tree to die within a month of planting. Backfi ll and hand pack the soil After you backfi ll the hole with existing soil, lightly handpack the soil around the tree. Th is will settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Refrain from tamping the soil with your feet as this could cause the tree to slowly sink in the soil and damage the root ball. Retain moisture with mulch Cover the planting hole with a 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch to prevent the tree’s roots from drying out. Make sure the mulch doesn’t touch the tree’s trunk. Due to its high level of moisture, mulch can cause a young tree to weaken and decay when in close proximity. Water your tree daily Since trees should be watered slowly and deeply, you should water the tree for 20-30 minutes with a soaker hose by encircling the tree to saturate the soil. Consider using root feeder to create deeper root development.

Create a raised garden bed for vegetables or flowers Fresh vegetables or a beautiful bouquet of flowers are always nice to have on your dinner table. There are many benefits to creating a raised bed, and so many material options to help match the décor of your yard. Benefits of a raised bed • Raises your plants to a more comfortable height, making it easier to plant, inspect and care for your plants. • Gives you control over the nutrition of the soil. • Allow you to plant earlier in the spring, because the sun is able to warm the bed faster than the ground around it. • You’re able to prevent burrowing animals in a raised bed by installing a hardware cloth in the bottom. • You are able to easily net or tent a raised bed to protect against pests, moisture and temperature issues. • Protected from natural or human over watering with good drainage. Material options: • Lumber • Concrete block • Bathtubs • Basins
• Whisky barrels • Many other creative options Tips • Good soil is the single basic requirement for a successful growing season. It is important that you test your soils pH and cultivate your beds before planting. Th is will enhance the quality of your soil; develop strong productive plants with stable root systems. • Keep in mind that when you are planning where your raised bed will go that you don’t want your planter so big that you cannot reach across it from both sides.
