Grote honored by school board BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM

During the July 11 North Branch school board meeting, the board gave a belated congratulations to teacher Kevin Grote for receiving the Education Minnesota Central Outstanding Leader Award. Grote was given the award back at the beginning of April, but as middle school principal and associate superintendent Dr. Todd Tetzlaff indicated, “Kevin is a busy coach, so at the May and June board meetings, he was coaching trapshooting, so he was not available to come then.” The award is given to an exemplary teacher/leader who is an inspiration to others, a positive role Dr. Todd Tetzlaff model and who seeks to improve himself or herself. NBAPS Associate Superintendent In listing off his qualifications for the award, Tetzlaff mentioned that Grote has served as leadership team member at the middle school, a professional learning community leader, a department chair of the science department, as well as the lead negotiator

‘One of the cool things about this is he is selected by his peers, so...it is sincere and genuine.’

‘Big Boy’ passing through area STAFF REPORT NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM

Fans of railroad history will get a pair of opportunities to at least get a fleeting glance of the largest steam engine in the world as it passes through the area. On Friday, July 19, the Union Pacific “Big Boy” steam engine No. 4014 will be passing through Isanti County on its way to the Lake Superior Railroad Museum in Duluth. According to the Union Pacific (UP) website, the locomo-

tive is on tour as part of the 150th anniversary of the transcontinental railroad’s completion. Of the 25 Big Boys built for Union Pacific, only eight remain, and the 4014 is the only Big Boy operating, having been newly restored for this commemorative tour. While there are numerous places along the tracks to view the Big Boy as it passes by, there are no specific times for when it will be making its brief appearance. It is scheduled to leave St. Paul at 8:30 a.m. and arrive in Bruno, located

north of Askov, at 1:05 p.m. According to the schedule, the Big Boy will be on display, along with a walk-through exhibit in a converted box car called “Experience the Union Pacific Rail Car,” on Saturday, July 20, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lake Superior Railroad Museum. The public can view both the Big Boy and the box car exhibit for free. Additional activities are also being held during the three-day

JULY 18, 2019

Turning your dial to manual This past week, I had one of those strange occurrences where I had virtually the exact same conversation with two different people under completely different circumstances. The subject of this bizarre coincidence happened to be photography. The first conversation took place between myself and a sports reporter cohort of mine as he was lamenting his inability to capture quality action photos. Hearkening back to a lecture I had attended way back in my college days, I mentioned to him that the stanWorth a dard theory was that if a photogThousand rapher got one quality shot out of a 36-exposure roll of film (this was Words pre-digital days), they were doing Bill pretty good. Fast-forward three days and I Stickels III was casually talking with a photo enthusiast I had never met before, and in discussing taking pictures, she brought up a slightly-inflated version of essentially that same theory. Along those same lines, I recently purchased a t-shirt that conveyed a message about photography. The shirt reads “Everyone is a photographer until” and then has a design of a camera dial pointed to “M.” (That is the setting on a camera where the photographer can change all of the exposure settings on a camera manually.) In essence, the shirt is saying that to truly consider yourself a “photographer,” you must know how to do more than just point a camera and push a button. I once had a teacher who sent a similar message that there is a difference between a “photograph” and a “snapshot,” with much of it being not only knowing exposure, but also composition. I know all that might sound somewhat condescending of an attitude, but that’s not how I meant it. With the advancements in digital photography and even cell phones, it is much easier to get high-quality photos more frequently. And truth be told, I’ve been known to whip out the cell phone to use as a backup or even instead of my big camera. In fact, at that baseball game where I brought up the one-in-36 ratio, I was being teased by someone for having all my expensive equipment around my neck, but there I was taking a photo of a rainbow with my cell phone. Instead, I prefer to look at these messages as being the exact same as with anything you set out to do in life. Yes, anybody can do anything they set their mind to, but in order to that thing very well, it takes dedication, knowledge, skill, usually a bunch of practice, and a drive to constantly be better. So that is how I choose to treat the messages. Not as a put-down of others, but rather as a reminder to myself to always strive to be better. No matter how many times you’ve done something before and no matter how good you think you are, you can always get better. Just as with photography, in life you can’t be afraid to turn your dial off of “automatic” and onto “manual.” And just like with photography, by doing so, I think the results will eventually wind up being all the more satisfying.

GUEST COLUMN

Skipping church in summertime You know you have done it. It’s summertime – and there are a half dozen reasons to miss church Sunday. Family vacations, visiting grandma, going to the lake or just needing an extra morning to catch up on yard work. Some churches might find themselves pretty thin on a summer Sunday, while others that happen to be located near a favorite vacation spot might have a whole ‘nother congregation at the peak of the season. The funny thing is, we somehow thought this wouldn’t apply to our little house church group a few years ago. Ours was a committed litFocus tle group – we were all in with both on Faith feet on an adventure to see if we could live out the “house to house” way of doing church we read about Bob in Acts 2:46 and 5:42. Roby But to our surprise, we found our own meetings dwindling in the summer. I guess just because we had rearranged the numbers and location didn’t mean people stopped going on vacation. We were finding out that even with the high level of commitment to exploring “simple church” with our close-knit group, family and vacations were a personal priority you just don’t mess with. This led to us discovering that there was a part of following Jesus that we couldn’t do at a church meet-

ing – of any size. We had already started identifying “church” as people rather than a building, but this challenge brought us to see there was a pattern of time spent in the life of Jesus and His followers that showed commitment to family or “kinship” relationships. Jesus was “obedient” to His parents (Luke 2:51), He saw that His mother would be cared for – even as he hung from the cross (John 19:27), and Paul wrote to Timothy that one who does not provide for his family has “denied the faith” (1 Timothy 5:8). When our members were “skipping church” to be with family, there were actually fulfilling a Biblical directive to give time, attention and resources to something God created before the church ever existed. Visiting or spending vacation time with family was a true expression of faith. So in all of this we eventually decided to work around the vacation plans of our little group, and instead of making people feel like they somehow weren’t living up to God’s expectations when they skipped a couple of meetings in the summer, we blessed these absences and asked them to share the highlights when they got back. After all, they weren’t really skipping church, they were being the church at its best by taking care of family and spending quality time away. Bob Roby leads Mission-link, a discipleship-based missional fellowship of house churches. Bob can be reached at (763) 221-4760 or by email at bob@mission-link.org.

Program aims to increase diversity in STEM ﬁelds CONTRIBUTED MN OF NATURAL RESOURCES

The Department of Natural Resources, the Conservation Corps Minnesota and Iowa, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources have partnered to launch the Increasing Diversity in Environmental Careers program. The program is geared toward environmentally-minded college students or soon-to-be college students interested in pursuing a degree in science, technology, engineering or math. It will consist of three parts – a fellowship with stipends to help address financial need and support academic success, a mentorship to connect students with professionals in the field, and an internship to ensure the students have experience in the field before graduation. Fifteen students will be accepted as part of the first cohort, and will begin the program at the start of the academic year in the fall. Applicants must be in pursuit of a STEM major with a desire to work in a natural resources or environmental career after graduation; be accepted to or enrolled in a two- or four-year full-time program at an accredited state, community, private or tribal college or university; be willing to commit to the full program; and be authorized to work in the United States. Preference will be given to racial or ethnic minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, individuals who face barriers to education and employment, first generation college students, first year college students and individuals demonstrating a strong financial need. The program is funded by the Minnesota Environmental and Natural Resources Trust Fund. Application instructions, as well as more information about the program, can be found on the Conservation Corps Minnesota and Iowa website. Applications are open until the cohort is full.

Making a relevant connection Perhaps this article is a bit out of the “sports/outdoors” realm, but an event of exactly 50 years ago was as “outdoors” as any can get! Its importance cannot be overstated. I am, of course, referring to the July 16, 1969, launch of Apollo 11 and the July 20 landing on the moon by United States astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin Loren W. while Command Brabec Module Pilot Michael Collins orbited overhead. I had just graduated from high school and was working on the family dairy farm. That afternoon, we had driven to a neighbor’s farm to pick up a new puppy, which we named Buzz. Late that night, under the light of a full moon, which at that moment was inhabited by two American men, I looked up and considered this history-making adventure. Nearly seven years earlier, President Kennedy stretched our national ambition to land astronauts on the moon and safely return them by the end of the decade. If achieved, it would establish space superiority for the United States and advance its technological prowess in ways we couldn’t imagine. As I stood there, half of his dream had come true. Armstrong’s words, “One small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind” still powerfully resonate. The other half – getting the three men safely back to earth – was about to be realized. During each full moon, I am reminded of how truly remarkable this achievement was. At the time, computers required entire rooms, and so many technological details of this flight were new, not only for the space program, but even for human comprehension. Yet, land and return safely they did. It is entirely appropriate to give credit to Armstrong for his lengthy career as a test pilot and for being the first man on the moon. Likewise to Aldrin for his years in the Apollo program and his descent to the lunar surface in Armstrong’s footsteps. Still, it is equally appropriate to acknowledge Collins as he waited in lunar orbit for his two companions to return to the craft which would take them home.

NASA EDUCATIONAL ASSETS

In this famous photo taken by astronaut Michael Collins as he orbited the moon while the lunar module descended to the surface, writer Loren Brabec noted Collins “was the only person alive at the time who was not in that picture!”

Imagine the thoughts Collins must have had! So much had to work just right, perfectly right, for Armstrong and Aldrin to return and re-link with him. Every mathematical calculation involving fuel needs, electrical current demands, thrust requirements and so much more had to be correctly predicted and perfectly realized. There was only one chance – if something failed, at least two men were not coming home. Just before the lunar landing, as Collins orbited the moon, he saw the earth, some 220,000 miles away, rise above the moon’s horizon. The lunar lander containing his two fellow astronauts was also in view, and he took a photo. It is still one of the most amazing photos ever taken – for Collins, in a very real way, was the only person alive at the time who was not in that picture! The photo still calls to mind for all of us the tiny part of the universe which is the earth, the fragility of our planet, and the duty of stewardship placed square-

ly on our shoulders. Maybe Collins had a “back seat” to the fame the others deservedly acquired. But, a back seat is often the most ideal position from which to see the big picture. Our individual contributions, whether large or small, to the betterment of life on earth matter. Each of us has a place on this planet. A responsibility. A relevance. A connection.

She was baptized one month later at Zion Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, and was confirmed in 8th grade. She attended Jehovah Lutheran grade school and Kelvyn Park High School. Delmyra e excelled academically (Nattional Honor Society) and m musically. Delmyra was a premier area soprano ssoloist and a cellist in the o orchestra. Delmyra married Donald M M. Cislo, Sr. shortly after h her high school gradua ation. They lived in the d dorms at the Illinois Instittute of Technology where D Don was in the Engineeriing program (later the law p program at DePaul Universsity). Their first daughter, Darise, was born while living there. To this union three more children were born: Donald M. Cislo, Jr., Daniel Miles Cislo, and Delmyra Melanie – all within five and one-half years. The couple divorced nine years later. After moving to Minnesota, she met and married Leroy Demings. They were married for 27 years until Leroy’s death. They enjoyed adventures which included a several-years stint in North Dakota when Leroy worked on the power plant in Mandan. While there, Delmyra embraced a different life and culture. She and a farm-wife friend went into a weekly bread-making business taking orders on one day and delivering the next. Delmyra enjoyed many things for work and passion. She was a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was a vocal soloist, pianist, organist, played the cello; was a server at five-star restaurants in Chicago; a professional seamstress working on original creations and Vogue patterns. She sold cosmetics, jewelry and clothes; raised pedigree rabbits for show and for meat; she gardened and canned. Delmyra could cook! She painted oils, watercolors and acrylics. She was a crack-shot who enjoyed target practicing and even hunted on occasion. She always looked forward to a new challenge! She worked at Multicare Associates in Blaine for 20 years. Delmyra enjoyed being a Red Hat member, and singing with the Cambridge Lutheran Prime Time Singers. Delmyra served as organist at Faith Lutheran Church and other area churches. She sang

for weddings and funerals. For many years, until her health prevented her, Delmyra cherished her role in service as church pianist/keyboardist at St. Andrew Lutheran Church. Delmyra had wonderful extended relationships with friends, cousins, in-laws and special acquaintances. She struck up meaningful conversations wherever she went. She loved to shop. She was almost always late. Delmyra was slow to anger – she never raised her voice to her lively children! Yes, this is true! When Mom got quiet, we children knew we were in trouble. She taught her children to pray in thanksgiving and for guidance. She was patient and kind with difficult people, and was always loving to her many animals. She could be opinionated – and stood her ground. She had a keen sense of humor. She was very optimistic and wore “rose-colored” glasses, preferring to always see the positive path. Delmyra handled hardship and adversity, blessings and good fortune equally, with grace and dignity. Quoted from her journal on the occasion of her 77th birthday, March 14, 2014, she wrote: “Good morning! Thank you, Lord, for all these years – for wonderful parents; kind and beautiful, normal and intelligent children; good friends, and a talent to serve in your House of Worship. It has been a good life!” Delmyra is survived by her children, Dari (Larry) Hogie, Don Cislo (sweetheart Cindy Kunowski), Dan (Lisa) Cislo, and Delmyra Melanie “Dolly” (Bo) Bennett; 12 grandchildren: Donald M. Cislo III (Amanda), Bri Ana Vogel (Matthew), Thia (Christopher) Kampa, Ryan Cislo (Stephanie), Caroline Haber (Kevin), Byron Bennett, Fallon Cislo, Meilani Bennett, Kelley Cislo, Jennifer Williams (Braxton), Valery Naskrent (David), Rachel Cislo (fiancé Caleb Ibanez); great-grandchildren: Avianna Cislo, Vivienne Kampa and Sienna Cislo; cherubs are awaited in 2019 and early 2020 to Jenny and Braxten and Donny and Amanda, respectively; nieces Christine Wetherell, Suzanne Sheets, Kathryn Hanus Chang and their families; nephew George Hanus, Jr.; sister-in-law Lois Duchay; cousins Gloria Malina and Steve Belan; and father of her children, Donald M. Cislo, Sr. (Sharon). Delmyra is preceded in death by husband Leroy Demings; parents Emil and Anna Duchay; brother Emil Duchay, Jr.; sister Geraldine Hanus; and infant grandson Seth Cislo. Memorials preferred to St. Andrew Lutheran Church. Celebration of Life for Delmyra Demings will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2019, at St. Andrew Lutheran Church in East Bethel. Visitation will begin at 11 a.m.; service at noon. Online condolences can be placed at StrikeLifeTributes.com.

NAMES IN THE NEWS

Tour of Washington, D.C. makes impression on area youth CONTRIBUTED EAST CENTRAL ENERGY

Two local students were among nearly 2,000 high-schoolers who participated in the 2019 Electric Cooperative Youth Tour to Washington, D.C., on June 14-20. Delegates sponsored by East Central Energy (ECE) were Gavyn Jensen-Schneider of North Branch and Abby Larsen of Milaca. The seven-day trip included visits to famous landmarks like the Arlington National Cemetery and White House. Students learned about the cooperative business model and had the opportunity to visit with representatives from their congressional districts and address their concerns directly with legislators. “We got to talk and share some of our own concerns with our state representatives face-to-face,” said Larsen of her experience. “We even got to thank them for the work that they have done to help rural cooperatives.” The event has been sponsored by the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association for more than 50 years. Youth Tour alumni have gone on to design airplanes, lead companies and to serve in

The No. 4014 “Big Boy” steam engine and its coal car are more than half the size of a Boeing 747 aircraft.

BIG BOY: Locomotive will come back through city on its return trip Monday, July 22, heading to St. Paul FROM PAGE I

Festival of Steam. For more information on the festival, see https:// duluthtrains.com/event/festivalofsteam/. The 4014 will come back through the area on Monday, July 22, as it continues on its Midwest tour with another possible stop in Cambridge in the early afternoon (check the County Star’s Facebook page for updates). Another stop is planned in Bruno from 9:45-10 a.m. and a stop in Hinckley from 10:50-11:35 a.m. It is scheduled to arrive back in St. Paul at 3:45 p.m. To be safe when viewing the train, UP recommends keeping a 25-foot distance from the tracks. Also remember that trains can’t stop quickly, and their speed and distance can be deceiving. All times listed are approximate and subject to change. To see the full proposed schedule, go to www. up.com/heritage/steam/schedule/ index.htm. For major schedule updates, the

UP website recommends joining the Union Pacific Steam Club to be notified. The UP website states that small schedule changes will be communicated immediately via the UP Steam Club Facebook Group and the @UP_Steam Twitter feed located at twitter.com/ up_steam. ABOUT THE BIG BOY Big Boy No. 4014 was manufactured by the American Locomotive Company and delivered to Union Pacific Railroad in December of 1941. It is an articulated (or hinged, because its frame is so long) 4-8-8-4 steam locomotive which, according to the UP website, means it had four wheels on the leading set of “pilot” wheels which guided the engine, eight drivers, another set of eight drivers, and four wheels following which supported the rear of the locomotive, which included the firebox. The Big Boy had the capacity to haul 24,000 gallons of water and 56,000 pounds of coal to produce the steam that

powered it. These massive, 132 foot-long, 1.2 million-pound locomotives were built between 1941 and 1944. They were constructed to haul freight through the mountains between Wyoming and Utah. No. 4014 was retired in December 1961, having traveled 1,031,205 miles. UP reacquired No. 4014 from the RailGiants Museum in Pomona, California, in 2013 and relocated it to Cheyenne, Wyoming, to begin a multi-year restoration process. As part of the restoration, the engine was converted from coal-fired to oil. On the first weekend in May 2019, it rolled out of the UP restoration shop in Cheyenne, headed for Ogden, Utah. In Ogden, the locomotive was part of a reenactment of the Golden Spike ceremony, celebrating 150 years of the intercontinental railroad system. Jennifer Yocum-Stans and Shawn Jansen of the Pine City Pioneer contributed a majority of the information for this story.

AWARD: Grote accepts leadership award FROM PAGE I

for the North Branch Area Education Association. “One of the cool things about this is he is selected by his peers,” Tetzlaff said. “So that really is a recognition that goes to the heart because it is sincere and genuine. “Kevin has always been willing to listen and share his ideas,” Tetzlaff continued, while reading from the speech given at the awards ceremony. “He strives to reach the best compromise when opinions differ. Kevin has many gifts. One of his gifts is that he can envision how things will affect all of the members of his group. He understands the needs of veteran educators and new educators as well.” “I thank everyone and my union members for the honor that I got,” Grote said before, true to his mentioned gifts, he took time to talk about the results from the trapshooting team’s season.

Regular readers of this column know how much North Branch Area Public Schools (NBAPS) seeks and fosters partnerships with the community that benefit students and families. In fact, as school districts like ours continue to provide excellent educational opportunities despite limited resources from the state, these partnerships grow in importance. NBAPS is proud to announce the “Viking Vittles” program starting this fall – a partnership between the school district, Family PathNB School ways, and the generosity of a number of community organizations News led by Trinity Lutheran Church. Viking Vittles will provide Dr. Deb weekend meal support for early childhood and Sunrise elementary Henton students. The goal of the program is to support the development of students and families by providing food to replace some meals students would have had were school in session. There is no criteria for participation! Any family that would like to participate will simply complete a brief form giving the school district permission to send home food for the weekend. On the last day of school each week, participating students will be given a pass to pick up a bag of non-perishable food on their way to the bus corral or parent pick-up. Food bags will contain two breakfast options, two lunch options, and two snack options – enough for both Saturday and Sunday. It is our hope to expand this program to older students after the first of the year. Many thanks to Community Education Director Brett Carlson and Elementary/Early Childhood principal Lori Zimmerman, as well as Family Pathways and the many community organizations that worked together to create this wonderful opportunity. Letters will be going out soon to all families that qualify for participation. If you have any questions about this program, please contact Lori at lzimmerm@isd138.org. Dr. Deb Henton is superintendent of North Branch Area Public Schools.

TALKING WITH THE EXPERTS

Spacesuits face challenge of creating livable habitat – as clothing constantly battle their own suit as they work.

BY UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA UNEWS@UMN.EDU

In 50 more years, what do you think spacesuits will look like?

This Saturday, July 20, marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. Brad Holschuh, an assistant professor and co-director of the University of Minnesota’s Wearable Tech Lab in the College of Design, answers questions about modern-day advances to the spacesuit, and how he expects technology will continue to evolve in the future.

Prof. Holschuh: The single biggest innovation in future spacesuits will be abandoning the inflated “balloon-style” suits in favor of skin-tight, “leotard-style” garments. Rather than placing the astronaut in a gas-pressurized atmosphere, these skin-tight suits achieve body-compression with an extremely tight-fitting garment. If done successfully, skin-tight suits offer the same life support capabilities as a typical inflated space suit, but with none of the associated stiffness that comes with inflation.

How have spacesuits changed since the ﬁrst Lunar Landing? Prof. Holschuh: In many ways, the modern spacesuit — known as the Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) — is functionally very similar to suits astronauts wore on the Moon in the 1960s. Modern space operations have focused entirely on activity in Earth orbit, so one important difference between Apollo-era suits and the EMU system is that EMU is not designed for any lower-body mobility tasks (e.g. walking). Suits from the Apollo era had to contend with the challenge of walking and hopping in partial gravity, thus there was a greater emphasis on making Lunar suits lightweight. What are the most important design features for a spacesuit to have? Prof. Holschuh: Space is a hostile and unforgiving environment, so a spacesuit should be thought of as a fully functional, body-shaped spacecraft. When an astronaut puts on a spacesuit and exits their habitat/vehicle, it must serve every function necessary to keep the astronaut alive: provide oxygen to breathe, pressure to offset the vacuum of space, temperature and humidity control, elimination of carbon dioxide

How are University of Minnesota College of Design faculty and students helping improve spacesuit design?

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA

Dr. Brad Holschuh currently serves as assistant professor of wearable technology and apparel design in the College of Design at the University of Minnesota. due to breathing, protection from radiation, access to food/water, communication systems, and even systems allowing the astronaut to go to the bathroom in the suit. On top of those functions, the suit must be low mass and ﬂexible enough to allow the astronaut to move around to complete their tasks, either in zero gravity (e.g., in Earth orbit) or partial gravity (e.g., on the surface of the Moon or Mars). What are the most common issues with today’s spacesuits? Prof. Holschuh: The most common issue today is their stiffness. These are inﬂated garments

— effectively, balloons shaped like the human body — ﬁlled with pressurized oxygen gas. This pressurized oxygen serves two very important purposes: one, it provides the breathing gas required for respiration; and two, it provides compression against the body to mimic the weight of the atmosphere that we experience on Earth (we need this in order to breathe and not experience conditions like decompression sickness). While pressurization is critical for life support it results in an unfortunate side effect — the soft materials of the suit stiffen signiﬁcantly. Not only does this constant stiffness/resistance cause fatigue as astronauts spacewalk for hours at a time, but it can also actually cause injury as the astronauts

Prof. Holschuh: Many current challenges that affect spacesuit design are active areas of research in the College of Design Human Dimensioning Lab (HDL) and Wearable Technology Lab (WTL). In many ways, spacesuits are no different than any other functional garment, so apparel design students and faculty are perfectly suited to improve the design, construction and ﬁt of modern spacesuits. Students also have an opportunity to participate in a semester-long design challenge hosted by the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, which pairs them with NASA mentors to work on real-world functional clothing challenges associated with human spaceﬂight and culminates with presentations to NASA engineers.

BRAD HOLSCHUH, PH.D., is an assistant professor of wearable technology and apparel design in the College of Design at the University of Minnesota, where he co-directs the Wearable Technology Lab and directs the Human Factors and Ergonomics graduate program.

Play Inc. to put on own version of ‘The Lion King’ BY AARON KNUDSVIG PLAY INC ARTS

Not to be confused with the new Disney live-action movie that comes out this weekend, local young actors will be putting on their own version of the classic story. On Friday, July 19, “The Lion King Jr.” opens at the Richard G. Hardy Performing Arts Center, Cambridge. The show features students going into 5th-8th grades from Cambridge and the surrounding area. These students have been working hard on this show for the past two months through the Play Inc. Arts’ summer youth theatre program. The show itself is a one-hour version of the popular Broadway production. Containing familiar songs from the movie such as “Just Can’t Wait To Be King” and “Can You Feel The Love Tonight,” the show will have something for the whole family to enjoy. It also includes some numbers which may be new to fans of the movie like “They Live In You” and “Shadowland.” BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR Everyone’s favorite characters make it to the There are several elements of the original story that are also seen in “The Lion King Jr.,” including stage: Simba, Nala, Timon, Pumbaa, Scar and the famous “Circle of Life” scene. his hyenas, and many more.

The cast performs “All that Jazz” - the signature song of “Chicago.” Play Inc.’s version of the popular musical will be put on by a veritable “all-star” cast comprised of young actors from Cambridge, North Branch and the surrounding area.

Yaebo Players brings audience ‘All that jazz’ BY AARON KNUDSVIG PLAY INC ARTS

The hit musical “Chicago” is making its Cambridge premiere next week. Play Inc Arts’ Yaebo Players will perform the musical in a version edited for high school performers on July 26, 27 and 28 at the Richard G. Hardy Performing Arts Center in the Cambridge-Isanti High School. The musical, written by Bob Fosse, John Kander and Fred Ebb, first premiered in 1975 on Broadway and played over 900 performances. In 1997 the musical returned to Broadway and has continued to play there ever since to become the second-longest-running musical of all time and the longest-running musical written by an

American writing team. Set in the 1920s, “Chicago” is a “story of murder, greed, corruption, violence, exploitation, adultery and treachery. All the things we hold near and dear to our hearts.” After Roxie Hart is arrested for the murder of a man, she learns that being notorious is the best publicity and the easiest way to become a celebrity. The show actually examines the public’s interest in and tendency to elevate criminals to a position of social importance in our society – a theme that was real in the 1920s, it continued when the show was written in the 1970s, and was pivotal when the show returned to Broadway at the height of the O.J. Simpson trial of the late 1990s.

Despite the cynical view it presents, “Chicago” presents fun, upbeat jazz numbers and great dances that really capture the audience. The “High School Edition” of “Chicago” edits language and content to be more appropriate for teenage performers. The show still has a PG-13 rating, so it is not for everybody. Play Inc’s production will run Friday, July 26, and Saturday, July 27, at 7 p.m. and Sunday, July 28, at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at the door as well as online at www.showtix4u.com. Tickets are $10 for students and seniors and $12 for adults. Aaron Knudsvig is director of Play Inc Arts, of Cambridge.

In third place was Milaca with a score of 628, followed by Princeton with a score of 636.

Hot weather means hot pan ﬁsh action BY RAY GILDOW NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM

After enduring a long, cold spring, Mother Nature has finally turned up the temperature warming our rivers and lakes. Rising water temperatures also means increased growth in aquatic vegetation and the beginning of a pan fish feeding binge. For anglers looking to catch panfish, the search moves from shallow shore breaks to cabbage, milfoil and other aquatic vegetation. All small aquatic critters swimming become fair game for bigger predators. Hiding near vegetation is the safest place for the hunted. Mid-summer is an excellent time to search and fish for panfish. When the summer heat makes it more difficult to catch the elusive walleye, the pan fishing can be fantastic. Skilled pan fish anglers have long known that the best place to find sun fish and crappies is along vegetation drop-offs and the inside pockets of the various plants. This is where the pan fish hide, find food,

and where they are most comfortable hunting themselves. Most sunfish prefer to keep near plants to feed. They can also be found deep along the outside edge of vegetation in depths of thirty feet, but they are usually close enough to dart back into cover if needed. Crappies do suspend over deep water during daylight and move back into vegetation towards evening. I like to search for pan fish in two ways; slowing trolling along the outside edges of vegetation with a bobber and waxworm or artificial bait, or casting into the cabbage, milfoil, or bull rushes with a small jig tipped with an artificial lure that will stay on while pulling it through the various plants. Once I find the fish, I stop and work the area over until I determine the quality and quantity of fish in that area. I like to fish with two-pound test line and bobbers or light jigs. I also prefer to use tungsten to get my bait down more quickly. The bigger fish are usually in the deeper water and a slow drop usually means that the

smaller fish will rob the bait before it gets down to the bigger fish. Ice fishing jigs are some of the best for summer fishing because they are easy to find with tungsten designed lures. Waxworms are excellent bait for sunfish. There are also many very good artificial lures on the market and crappie minnows are best for live bait fishing for crappies. There are also many good artificial lures on the market that catch crappies. Just about every lake in Minnesota has a population of pan fish. The exception being small lakes that might freeze out during the winter months. I like to keep sunfish in the nine-inch range and crappies in the ten-inch range. I also encourage anglers to release the big pan fish they catch. Sunfish over ten inches and crappies over thirteen inches are real trophies. It is a great idea to let those big fish go to live for another day. The pan fish bite is on, get your pole, get out there and catch some.

Why honeybees need protection agencies to address the growing issue of rapidly diminishing honeybees and other pollinating insects. This initiative was a response to reports from American beekeepers indicating hive deaths have been on the rise, gravely affecting the honeybee population. Honeybees pollinate many fruit trees, nut plants and vegetables, playing a crucial role for many nations' food industries. Honeybees flitting from flower to flower is one of the first signs that warm weather has arrived. Honeybees are a welcome presence in the garden, pollenating plants and contributing to local honey supplies. Despite their importance in the ecosystem, honeybees are in grave danger. In 2014, U.S. President Barack Obama created a task force comprised of various

In addition to government involvement and honeybee conservation methods designed by environmental agencies, there are many things that regular citizens and homeowners can do to protect honeybees this summer. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Pesticide Action Network offer these tips. · Use caution when applying any pesticides to home gardens. Be

especially cautious when applying pesticides when bees are likely to be flying. If you must apply pesticides, do so only after dusk. · Stagger your planting throughout the growing season. Rather than planting everything at once, stagger planting for flowers and other plants that have blooms. This gives bees plenty of pollen sources throughout early summer and into fall. · Provide clean sources of water. A small garden feature or a rainwater collection is enough to provide bees with a drink when needed. · Honeybees and other bees require some sort of shelter. Dead trees and plants provide adequate shelter, so don't be so tempted to pull out all of the undergrowth in the name of aesthetics.

· Plant a garden that will attract bees. Resources for planting a bee-friendly garden can be found by visiting http://www.panna. org/sites/default/files/ Bee-FriendlyGardening_ PAN.pdf.

763-444-8873 233 Cajima St. • Isanti, MN 55040 www.MinnesotaEquipment.com

· If you come across a hive, leave it alone. It's best not to disturb a hive and honeybee colony. If bees are located where they can become a nuisance, contact a local bee expert to see if the hive can be moved. · Think about becoming a beekeeper yourself. There are many different resources available to help you get started. Bees are being threatened at an alarming rate. Educating yourself about what to do to protect honeybees can help to restore the valuable honeybee population.
