Phoenix Academy makes plea to reinstate busing BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
KWIK TRIP WEST The store on the west side of town will be located right next to Neighborhood National Bank, on the south side of Highway 95. It will have an entrance/exit directly off of Highway 95 for eastbound traffic. Teigen explained that the current entrance/exit to Neighborhood National Bank from Highway 95 will be moved a short distance to the west, with a new entrance for the bank off of it. In addition, there will be two ingress/egress points along 386th Street to the south of the property, along with two off of Tanger Drive to the east. “There will not be an easier in and out in the area than this one,” Teigen said. The building itself will be L-shaped and located close to
With less than one month before school starts up again, North Branch charter school Phoenix Academy is still struggling to find a solution for transporting their students to and from school. Back in May, out of frustration over the perceived lack of organization and cooperation between the two schools, the North Branch School Board voted to discontinue offering transportation to Phoenix Academy students for the 2019-2020 school year. During the last school board meeting held on Aug. 8, new Phoenix Academy principal and executive director Jim Gagner spoke to the board during public comments regarding the ongoing situation. “I would like to formally request the sharing of busing for the 2019-20 school year,” Gagner told the board. “I think this agreement would allow the Phoenix Academy students of the North Branch area to ride with bus service connected with the 4.0.” 4.0 is the bus company Jim Gagner the school district conPhoenix Academy Principal tracted with to provide and Executive Director transportation for North Branch area students after the district decided to end their own bus service and sell a majority of their fleet as a cost-saving measure beginning with the 2018-2019 school year. “I would ask that this agreement be similar to what you had done in the 2018-2019 school year that was outlined by the state of Minnesota and the Department of Education,” Gagner continued. Gagner went on to address what were the concerns of the district that led to their decision in May. “I don’t think what was in that agreement – that

‘Our transportation portion that we get from the state would go directly to (NBAPS), and it would be much easier for us since having a busing service is extremely expensive.’

An official groundbreaking was held at the west site for both of the Kwik Trip stores that will be opening in North Branch in early 2020.

Kwik Trip breaks ground in North Branch BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
After delays that caused the rumor mill to churn out expectations that they wouldn’t even come to fruition, both of North Branch’s Kwik Trip locations celebrated their official groundbreaking during a ceremony on Tuesday, Aug. 13. During a presentation before the North Branch city council shortly following the ceremony, Kwik Trip Vice President of Real Estate Scott Teigen talked about the process he and the company went through to reach this special occasion. “Every member of every community thinks their community is the toughest one to do business in,” Teigen began. “But I want to tell you, I’ve been doing this for 30 years, and I would rate North Branch right up there as one of the easiest communities to work with.” Tiegen explained that after frequently driving through North
‘I’ve been doing this for 30 years, and I would rate North Branch right up there as one of the easiest communities to work with.’ Scott Tiegen Kwik Trip Vice President of Real Estate Branch, he set his sights on the possibility of building a store at the old elementary school property along Main Street. “I looked at that site and saw all the houses and thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be a problem.’ But nothing ventured, nothing gained,” Teigen said. “So I called the city and was told pretty directly that they won’t let you go there. So I go to Carla (Vita, North Branch Community Development Director) about the west site, and Carla
goes ‘There’s this place you should go down here (on the east side of town).’ So Carla gets all the credit for the east side store.”

Win Twins! (pretty please?) Well, Minnesota sports fans, here we go again. Just a mere month or so ago, we were basking in having the Twins enjoying a commanding lead in the American League Central race, while completely shattering all sorts of team and even a couple MLB records. We were already calculating out how little needed to be accomplished to achieve not just a playoff berth, but a division title and perhaps home field advantage for a majority of the playoffs. Visions of another magical season like those in 1987 and 1991 were dancing around in our heads. And who would blame us for it? Like Worth a those other years, the 2019 MinneThousand sota Twins seemingly came out of nowhere, breaking the hearts of Words opponents’ fans while at the same time winning the hearts of their Bill own. Stickels III Like those World Champion teams, this Twins team is filled with a bunch of likable players who seem to have incredible team chemistry too. And thanks to having an incredibly potent batting lineup that could seemingly at will launch the (possibly “juiced”) baseball over the deepest outfield walls, we knew that we were never really out of any game. Today, however, it’s, as Yogi Berra said, “déjà vu all over again.” Despite the Twins still “knock(ing) the cover off the ball,” the Cleveland Indians have gone on an insane run of their own and caught up with the Twins in the standings, with both teams having identical records as of last Sunday. Those fist pumps after each “Bomba” has been replaced with white-knuckle hand-wringing as us fans not only have to “root, root, root for the home team,” but also for whomever the Indians happen to be playing. Unlike 1987 or 1991, however, when I think we were a little more blissfully ignorant, today’s fans are far more jaded as we have seen things like this happen to us before with the Vikings, Wild and other Twins teams as their seemingly dream seasons turn into nightmares. Now, this season isn’t totally lost yet. They are tied with Cleveland for first with theoretically an easier schedule the rest of the season. Plus, they still play the Indians six more times. And if the division title eludes them, they are sitting at a four-game lead for a wild card berth – although that might even be worse since that would mean a single-game “win or go home” scenario. While it seems like I’m dwelling on the negative here, it should be pointed out that nobody, including a majority of the most loyal fans, gave this team much of a chance of contending at the beginning of the season. So even if this season doesn’t culminate with a parade in downtown Minneapolis, this has still been an incredible, unexpected ride. But then again, that just wouldn’t be our nature. We’ve been burned too many times before. So I guess for the next 40-plus games, “Win Twins” isn’t going to just be the team’s slogan, but also a plea from all of us who are desperate for our first “big four” World Championship since 1991.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why does the city of Cambridge have to get so big? To the editor, I recently saw on a website about how the earth’s population has doubled since 1950. Then there was the article in this paper about tearing down the Ace Tack building to widen Highway 95.
Why do we want/need to be so big? The bigger we get the more infrastructure we will be needing – also the upkeep of said infrastructure and police and fire to go along with expansion and taxes to pay for it all – city, county, state, federal. Kevin Devine Cambridge
Beware of genetic-testing scams CONTRIBUTED MN COMMERCE DEPARTMENT
The Minnesota Department of Commerce is echoing a warning by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General regarding a fraud scheme involving genetic testing. Scammers across the country are offering Medicare beneficiaries cheek swabs for genetic testing to obtain their Medicare information for identity theft or fraudulent billing purposes. Fraudsters are targeting older adults through telemarketing calls, booths at public events, health fairs and door-to-door visits. Specifically, reports from Kentucky have indicated scammers operating out of vans – offering to pay Medicaid recipients $20 for DNA swabs and their health insurance information, while Nebraska residents have reported scammers conducting group visits to senior living communities – advertised as “DNA checks for cancer.” “Minnesotans need to be

cautious when engaging with any requests regarding their personal information,” said Minnesota Department of Commerce Commissioner Steve Kelley. “Ask questions and stay in control. Always take extra precautions to ensure ultimate security for your personal information.” Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services have set forth guidelines for when and where they will offer genetic testing services. Guidelines can be found on the CMS website. Minnesotans should be mindful of the following ways to minimize the risk of personal information being compromised and used fraudulently:
- If a genetic testing kit is mailed to you, don’t accept it unless it was ordered by your physician. Refuse the delivery or return it to the sender. Keep a record of the sender’s name and the date you returned the items. - Be suspicious of anyone who offers you free genetic testing and then requests your Medicare number. If your personal information is compromised, it may be used in other fraud schemes. - A physician that you know and trust should approve any requests for genetic testing. - Medicare beneficiaries should be cautious of unsolicited requests for their Medicare numbers. If anyone other than your physician’s office requests your Medicare information, do not provide it. If you have questions or if you believe you may have been the victim of a scam or fraud, you are encouraged to contact the Commerce Department’s Consumer Services Center by email at consumer.protection@state. mn.us or by phone at 651-539-1600 or 800-657-3602 (Greater Minnesota).

Hospital cases show severe Caregiver arrested lung injury in teens who vape after Braham infant injured
CONTRIBUTED MN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is encouraging Minnesota healthcare providers to be on alert for novel cases of severe lung disease potentially related to vaping and e-cigarette use among teens and young adults. Children’s Minnesota has reported finding four cases of severe lung injury in the metro area potentially related to vaping. These cases are similar to lung disease cases recently reported in Wisconsin and Illinois, though it is too early to say whether they are connected. “There are still many unanswered questions, but the health harms emerging from the current epidemic of youth vaping in Minnesota continue to increase,” said Dr. Ruth Lynfield, state epidemiologist and MDH medical director. “We are encouraging providers and parents to be on the look-out for vaping as a cause for unexplained breathing problems and lung injury and disease.” In Minnesota, symptoms have resulted in hospitalizations lasting multiple weeks, with some patients being admitted to the intensive care unit. Product names are unknown. “We are deeply concerned by the severe cases of lung injury associated with vaping that we are currently seeing,” said Dr. Emily Chapman, chief medical officer at Children’s Minnesota. “These cases are extremely complex to diagnose, as symptoms can mimic a common infection yet can lead to severe complications and extended hospitalization. Medical attention is essential; respiratory conditions can continue to decline without proper treatment.” Clinical presentation among Minnesota cases included shortness of breath, fever, cough, and

vomiting and diarrhea. Other symptoms reported by some patients included headache, dizziness and chest pain. After receiving reports from Children’s Thursday, MDH started working in partnership with Children’s to learn more about the cases. Use of both nicotine and marijuana-based products were reported. The state health department is also asking providers to look for similar cases and report them. Clinicians should ask patients who present with pulmonary symptoms about tobacco and marijuana use, particularly vaping. Clinicians should consult with pulmonologists and evaluate for infectious diseases when treating patients with pulmonary symptoms who report a history of vaping. Patients and people with a history of vaping who are experiencing lung symptoms should seek clinical care. Patients and those experiencing symptoms should avoid using e-cigarettes and other vaping products. E-cigarette aerosol contains harmful chemicals, such as ultrafine particles, oil, heavy metals
like nickel, tin and lead, and other cancer-causing chemicals. E-cigarettes, vapes, e-pipes and other vaping products are battery-powered devices that allow users to inhale aerosolized liquid. E-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive and harmful to the adolescent brain. Nicotine can impact learning, memory and attention span, and contributes to future addiction to tobacco and other substances. The U.S. Surgeon General calls teen e-cigarette use an epidemic. Locally, the 2017 Minnesota Youth Tobacco Survey found that nearly 20% of high-school students use e-cigarettes and 40% have tried them. Youth e-cigarette use has surpassed conventional cigarettes as the most commonly used tobacco product category among youth. In addition, 34.7% of high school students and 15.8% of middle school students who currently use e-cigarettes have used an e-cigarette for recreational marijuana, THC or hash oil, or THC wax at least once in their lifetime. Learn more about e-cigarettes and other vaping products at www. health.state.mn.us/E-cigarettes and Vapes.
An 18-month-old Braham infant is in critical condition and the caregiver has been arrested following an incident on Monday, Aug. 12. According to a press release from the Braham Police Department, at approximately 1 p.m. on Aug. 12, officers responded to the 200 block of Beechwood Avenue South based on a report of an 18-month-old male in medical distress. Upon arrival, officers had to provide medical aid to the child until they were relieved by paramedics. At that time, the officers interviewed the caregiver and “found that the explanation was not consistent with the severity of the injuries.” After completing the interview, the caregiver, who has not been publicly named as of press time, was taken into custody. The child was transported to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis with “grave injuries.” The incident remains under investigation by the Braham Police Department.

The cost of the fourhour refresher course is $22 (eight-hour course is $26). For more information or to register, visit www.mnsafetycenter. org or call 1-888-2341294.

Annual luncheon will welcome new teachers with warmth CONTRIBUTED NORTH 65 CHAMBER/ROTARY
While most of us continue to hold long and hard on precious summer days, school administrators and educators are turning their attention to the coming fall semester. Each year anywhere from 40 to 70 new teachers converge on Isanti County for the start of the school year – most are new to the community and for many the fall semester will be their first professional experience teaching. To help welcome these new teachers the Rotary Club of Cambridge & Isanti and North 65 Chamber of Commerce are working hard finalizing arrangements for the 21st Annual New Teachers Luncheon to be held Friday, Aug. 23, at 11:30 a.m. at Spirit River Community Center, 1321 Heritage Blvd. NE, Isanti. Teachers have often commented how this experience has helped encourage, challenge and support them in their new assignment while shaping a positive and lasting introduction to the community. The luncheon concludes with the presentation of the Rotary Vocational Leadership Award. This annual award recognizes those in our community who have demonstrated tireless leadership and support of
education. “This special event is a great opportunity to welcome new teachers and to acknowledge their important work in our schools,” said Jeremiah Sedler, Rotary Club president. “By recognizing and supporting teachers, we build friendships based on our common objective of educating our citizens.” Members of the business community support the program by underwriting the cost of the lunch and program, while excess proceeds are used to purchase school supplies for underprivileged students. In addition, each new teacher receives a “welcome bag” from Braham, Cambridge and Isanti Ambassadors filled with various items donated by members of the North 65 Chamber of Commerce. The seven participating schools whose new teachers are honored include: Anoka-Ramsey Community College-Cambridge Campus; Art & Science Academy; Braham ISD 314; Cambridge Christian School; Cambridge-Isanti ISD 911; Rum River Special Education Cooperative and St. Scholastica HSC Academy. For more information and/or tickets contact the North 65 Chamber of Commerce at 763-689-2505 or info@ north65chamber.com.

OBITUARIES
NAMES IN THE NEWS
LaVonne M. Foster LaVonne Marlette (Olson) Foster, age 85, of North Branch, died peacefully at home while working in her garden on Friday, Aug. 9, 2019. LaVonne was born on July 6, 1934, in Kost, Minn., to John and Effie (Magison) Olson. LaVonne attended the country school in Kost through 8th grade. She moved into North Branch to live with her sister, M Myrt, to attend high school iin North Branch, where sshe graduated. LaVonne was united in m marriage to Arthur C. Fostter on Feb. 17, 1952. They c celebrated 56 years of marrriage together until Art p passed in 2008. In the early y years of this union, she enjjoyed gardening, canning g green beans, beet pickles, c carrots and tomato sauce tthat her garden produced, a as well as canning peaches a and pears. She was very involved in church groups such as women’s circle, church council, the memorial committee, homemakers and Sunday school. She was proud to be a member of the Northern Star at the Masonic Lodge, Girl Scout leader, the garden club, North Chisago Historical Society and chauffeur to her six children over many years. With young kids still at home, LaVonne did her part to help support her family by collecting census, had a small home daycare and did some catering. In 1975 she took a job with the North Branch School district working in the kitchen. Eventually she transferred to the laundry department at the school until 1990 when she left to go work at the Cambridge Hospital where she retired in 2004. Out of this employment she gained a special group of friends who she loved spending time with. Most Monday mornings, you will find this group of retired cooks sharing stories and breakfast at McDonald’s and solving world problems. Our mother’s “claim to fame” was the story of attending Kost School and how the boys would fight for her to be on their team to play baseball during recess. LaVonne was a very proud Swede who loved “Krubs” and her Swedish heritage. She was very involved in cradle rocking at the United Methodist Church in North Branch where her children and grandchildren were rocked. She loved to read and garden, which is evident with all her beautiful flower beds surrounding her home. LaVonne is preceded in death by her husband, Art; parents, John and Effie Olson; brother Loren (Rose) Olson, brother Arvid (Margaret) Olson, sister Myrtle (Oliver) Swenson and sister Daisy Olson. She is survived by her children, Don (Kathy) Foster, Pam (Mitch) Olson, Terri Lyn (Gary) Storlien, Todd Foster, Penny Foster and Faith (John) Lichtscheidl; brother Fillmore Olson; 14 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and other family and friends. A celebration of life will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, 2019, at Bethesda Lutheran Church, North Branch. Visitation will be held from 4-7 p.m., Friday, Aug. 16, 2019, at the Grandstrand Funeral Home in North Branch and will continue one hour prior to the service at the church on Saturday. Interment will be at a later date in Oak Hill Cemetery. Arrangements are with the Grandstrand Funeral Home in North Branch. Condolences may be expressed online at www.grandstrandfh.com.

KWIK TRIP: Stores set to open January, February of 2020 FROM PAGE I
386th Street (see site plan this page). There will be a regular gas pump canopy in front of the store, with a separate diesel pump canopy to the west of the building. “This is not a ‘truck stop,’” Teigen emphasized. “Some semis will certainly come in here, but we don’t have but one parking stall, and that’s only for that guy who wants to come in and get a donut.” There will be a car wash attached to the back of the store at this location. “The west side project almost died a couple times, for various reasons,” Teigen admitted. “But (city administrator) Renae (Fry) kept old Scott to keep the faith.”
KWIK TRIP EAST According to mayor Jim Swenson and several other members of the council, the east location is the most highly anticipated one. “Having the east-side location is going to help us on multiple facets,” said council member Brian Voss. “Not just for the ease and convenience for the east-side customers, but I see it as a benefit for the transportation flow through town. Living on the east side myself, I know how it can be in the peak times of the day trying to go to other parts of town ... from a convenience factor it can be very trying.” The east store occupies the smaller of the two lots. While it will still house the store, plus separate regular and diesel pump canopies – which is a hallmark of Kwik Trip stores – there will only be two entrances, with both coming off the new extension of Maple Street to the south of the property. “We’re too close to the corner (the intersection of Highway 95 and Grand Avenue) to have access off of Highway 95,” Tiegen explained. For this location, the car wash will be in a separate building from the main store, located on the far eastern part of the property. According to Fry, that was intentionally done to limit the noise impact as much as possible for the residences in the area. Just like the west location, the east location is not designed to be a “truck stop,” and doesn’t include any parking stalls for semis outside of the ones designated for the diesel pumps. The east store already has a “team leader” named – Lindstrom resident Nikki Lieberherr. North Branch resident Jesse Eastman has been named as an assistant store leader; however, for which location is yet to be determined. “We’re real excited about both of these locations,” Tiegen concluded. “We think both will do very well, but I think Renae and Carla are betting on which one will do better.” Construction on both locations will begin almost immediately, Fry told the council. The west location will be finished first, with a tentative opening date of Jan. 9, 2020. The east location will follow shortly after that, with a tentative opening date of Feb. 13, 2020.

This site plan of the Kwik Trip on the east side of town shows two entrances on the south end of the property onto Maple Street (bottom of drawing). There will be no ingress/egress onto Highway 95 or Grand Avenue. A car wash will be housed in a separate building on the east side of the property (right side in this drawing).
PHOENIX: Request too late for council vote FROM PAGE I
we would make sure would happen – was that we have a good, strong plan in place to work together this year,” he continued. “There is a strong desire for communication – that emails, messages and things like that are answered in a timely manner. I would also make sure that meetings are held at times to discuss things (and) that we have a presence there to represent our school. “And then, of course, one of the concerns was the supervision responsibility, and I think that both parties need to take care of it, and we would definitely want to do that at the Phoenix Academy.” Gagner suggested it might be possible for the district to amend their contract with 4.0 that would allow Phoenix students to be picked up along with the North Branch students, but Phoenix Academy would simply pay their share of the contract directly to 4.0. “Of course, school budget is definitely one of the
reasons that would be there,” Gagner said. “Our transportation portion that we get from the state would go directly to you, and it would be much easier for us since having a busing service is extremely expensive. “I think forming that partnership between the Phoenix Academy and North Branch Public Schools is in the best interest to both schools, our community and most importantly our students,” Gagner concluded. Unfortunately for Phoenix Academy, Gagner’s plea might be a little too little, too late. Since his request was made during the public comment portion of the school board’s meeting, the board was not allowed to add it to that meeting’s agenda. In addition, the next regular school board meeting isn’t scheduled to occur until Sept. 12, which is after the 2019-20 school year has begun. According to the district, there has been no request from the school board to hold a special meeting to reconsider the issue.
Local musician offers fiddle concert for kids The public is invited to a “Violin/Fiddle Concert for Kids” hosted by local musician Pierre Jacques Pleau at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 27, at Central Park, North Branch.

Hepatitis A outbreak hits East Central Minnesota Residents encouraged to make sure they are vaccinated; wash hands frequently
Hepatitis A Outbreak
WHAT IS HEPATITIS A?
Aug. 8, 2019
H Hepatitis titi A is i a contagious t i liver li infection i f ti caused db by a virus. i It can range from a mild infection with no symptoms lasting a few weeks to a severe illness lasting several months that can result in liver failure and death. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, diarrhea, clay-colored stools, joint pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
BY KIRSTEN FAURIE EDITOR@MORAMINN.COM
Clinics are stocking up on vaccines in a mobilization against a highly contagious liver disease spreading in east central Minnesota: Hepatitis A. The Minnesota Department of Health has declared an outbreak of hepatitis A in multiple counties among people who use street drugs (injection or non-injection), are experiencing homelessness or unstable housing, or have been recently incarcerated. The outbreak includes 23 cases in nine counties: Pine (5), Hennepin (3), Kanabec (3), Mille Lacs (3), St. Louis (3), Washington (3), Chisago (1), Dakota (1) and Kandiyohi (1). Thirteen cases have been hospitalized and all have been discharged. Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by a virus. It can range from a mild infection with no symptoms lasting a few weeks to a severe illness lasting several months that can result in liver failure and death. Early diagnosis and medical care are key to preventing more serious health outcomes. Hepatitis A is usually spread person-to-person when someone eats food, drinks a beverage or places an object in their mouth that has been contaminated with trace amounts of feces from someone who has the virus. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, the most effective way to prevent hepatitis A is vaccination. Vaccination is recommended for all chil-

dren starting at 1 year, for travelers to certain countries and for people at high risk for infection. While hepatitis A vaccination has been recommended for children since 2006, many adults have not been vaccinated for hepatitis A. HIGH RISK People at high risk of contracting the disease are people who use street drugs (injection or non-injection), are experiencing homelessness or unstable housing, or have been recently incarcerated.

TRANSMISSION AND PREVENTION How is Hepatitis A transmitted? The fancy word for it is by the “orofecal” route. Hepatitis A is usually spread person-toperson when someone eats food, drinks a beverage or places an object in their mouth that has been contaminated with trace amounts of feces from someone who has the virus. The best ways to prevent infection are through vaccination and careful hand washing after using the bathroom and before meals. Hand sanitizers DO NOT prevent the spread of hepatitis A. Vaccination against the disease is effective. A vaccination has been recommended for children since 2006, many adults have not been vaccinated for hepatitis A. For copies of your child’s vaccination records, talk to your doctor or call the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC) at 651-201-3980.

ager and family health nurse at Kanabec County Community Health said incarceration in a jail is a risk factor because many inmates who enter the facility already have other risk factors such as homelessness, drug use or other lifestyle factors. This paired with the close living quarters of jail and sharing of belongings caters to the contagious nature of hepatitis A. CONFRONTING THE OUTBREAK Community Health has been taking steps to prevent further spread of the disease. They have ordered additional vaccine, are following MDH’s guidelines to encourage vaccination in high-risk populations and will soon be providing education and vaccines to inmates in the county jail. Community health is also working with treatment centers and other agencies to educate and vaccinate staff and clients that are included in the target population. Wiltrout encouraged community members to get vaccinated at their clinic or through their county’s community health department. Practice good hand hygiene: washing
hands with soap and water specifically before eating and after using the restroom. Hand sanitizers do not prevent the spread of Hepatitis A. OUTBREAK SOURCE According to a press release from the Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota began seeing an increase in hepatitis A cases in May 2019. These cases had similar risk factors to national outbreaks of hepatitis A that have been occurring since 2016. Nationally, there have been more than 23,600 cases in 29 states. MDH has been monitoring the national outbreaks and conducting enhanced surveillance of hepatitis A since mid-2018 to help quickly identify cases. While initial cases were clustered in east central Minnesota and had links to each other, more recent cases occurred in counties in other parts of the state. The infection source is not known for some cases, suggesting some community transmission among those in highrisk groups.

Annual In.Art Show & Competition opens in Wyoming CONTRIBUTED HALLBERG CENTER FOR THE ARTS
The 4th Annual In. Art Show & Competition opens Thursday, Aug. 22, at the Hallberg Center for the Arts in Wyoming. Presented and organized by the Wyoming Area Creative Arts Community, this exhibit will award $3,800 in prizes for artistic excellence. Artists from Duluth to Mankato and Owatonna submitted artwork into this competition, which is an art versus art competition with no categories. Three independent judges – Rurik Hover, Steve Forseth and Joseph Haid – all with deep credentials, critiqued and scored each piece of submitted artwork electronically. The field will compete in live judging at the Hallberg Center for the Arts on Thursday, Aug. 22, at the Hallberg Center for the Arts, 5521 E. Viking Bouldevard, Wyoming. The exhibit will open at 4 p.m., with the awards ceremony starting at 6:30 p.m. and finishing up at 8 p.m. Complimentary refreshments will be served, catered by Vannelli’s By The Lake of Forest Lake, and sponsored by Rice Industries of Lino Lakes. The exhibit will be open through Sept. 14, with People’s Choice voting continuing throughout the exhibit. The art center hours are Tuesday through Friday from 4-8 p.m., and Saturdays 12-4 p.m. Admission is free. Each year, this competition grows in popularity among artists and art lovers. Last year’s event brought in a crowd of about 300 people to the Hallberg Center for the Arts. This year, with the help of a grant through the East Central Regional Arts Council, the art center has added large movable walls to improve artwork dis-

Beware online scammers using social media ads CONTRIBUTED BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU
By now, most internet users have encountered an online scam, but recently some online shopping scams are popping up in social media ads, particularly on Facebook. Better Business Bureau encourages consumers to be cautious and aware of what online stores they patronize. BBB Scam Tracker reports for online purchase scams increased 124% from 2017 to 2018 (4,655 reports to 10,450 reports, respectively). Consumers have complained that when they purchase items from links in certain social media ads, their items never arrive, leaving them out cash with nothing to show for it. Not all social media ads will lead to a fraudulent website or company, so BBB has tips to decipher the difference and avoid falling into this tricky trap: Watch for bad grammar. Bad grammar and misspelling simple words may indicate that a website was put up in a rush. Legitimate businesses generally put time into their web content to make sure it is readable for their customers.
ry counts are cause for concern. These tactics are designed to pressure you into buying immediately, before your suspicion has time to set in. Look for cohesive design. Legitimate online shops take pride in the design of their sites. The logo, header, and product photos should be purposeful. Everything tends to follow a matching brand style. Be suspicious of stores with design elements that seem randomly thrown together.
Be wary of perma-sales and pressure to purchase. Having items

If you use Facebook you know banner ads are all over the place and many ads are even catered to what you like.

Today, the art center has new exhibits each month. Some collaborative, some duo or solo exhibits selected through an interview process. Currently the Main and Cube Galleries of the Hallberg Center for the Arts are booked into January of 2021. For the last three years, every other month three songwriters are brought in to perform their own original music at the art center in “Songwriters in the Round.” Lastly, the organization created the Underground Gallery in the lower level to help artists working on grants or school projects and to reward volunteering artists for their time and effort. The Hallberg Center for the Arts is a member of the North American Reciprocal Museum Association (NARM) joining other organizations in a reciprocal member benefit sharing cooperative. So, a NARM-level membership with the Wyoming Area Creative Arts Community will have reciprocal member benefits at the Walker Art Center, the Minneapolis Institute for Arts, and over 1,000 galleries and museums across North America. This event is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the East Central Regional Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

North Branch baseball team recognized for sportsmanship CONTRIBUTED NORTH BRANCH TRAVELING BASEBALL
The North Branch Vikings 13UA youth baseball team has been selected for a Youth 1st Team award for their outstanding sportsmanship during the 2019 MYAS Gopher State Tournament of Champions baseball tournaments. The Vikings are District 2 champions. The team will be on the field and recognized for the award during the St. Paul Saints game on Sunday, Aug. 25. The award was offered by Minnesota Youth Athletic Services (MYAS) in partnership with Youth 1st, Federated Insurance, Jostens, Pearson, Cashwise, Bennerotte & Associates, Jaguar Communications, The Retrofit Companies, U.S. Bank, Owatonna Motor Company, Profinium and the St. Paul Saints. As the premier MYAS baseball event in Minnesota, the GSTC tournament is about showcasing the kids and competition, not the negativity of unsportsmanlike behavior of players, coaches and spectators. MYAS and Youth 1st recognizes the teams and associations that received exemplary scores from the officials for their sportsmanship and positive conduct during the tournament. The Youth 1st Team Award recognizes positive behavior from players, coaches and everyone associated with the team (parents, fans and spectators). “We are placing the emphasis on how you play the game, which is ultimately more important than if you win or lose,” said Mark Arjes, Founder/ Director of Youth 1st. “It has become increasingly difficult to find and retain

We believe it is time to model and encourage values-based actions, creating what we call a Conduct 1st environment where the focus is on the kids; competitive energies are kept in check and officials and opponents are respected.” MYAS executive director Dawson Blanck added, “One of the goals within the MYAS mission is to promote sportsmanship, teamwork and cultural interaction through sporting competition. The entire MYAS team is thrilled to be able to partner with Youth 1st to help us meet those goals within our programs. As a leader in youth sports throughout the great state of Minnesota, we want to be proactive and impact participants (youth athletes, coaches, parents, and officials) in a positive way through a Conduct 1st environment at all our tournaments and events. Implementing this initiative with Youth 1st during the 2019 Gopher State Tournament of Champions significantly decreased the number of unsportsmanlike events that took place compared to previous years.” According to Derek Sharrer, execu-
Isanti gymnast reaches podium at U.S. Championships BY BILL STICKELS III NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
Elite gymnast and Isanti resident Grace McCallum just took another small step towards her ultimate goal of competing in the Olympics. But given the circumstances, that small step seemed more like a giant leap forward. During the U.S. Championships, held in Kansas City, Missouri, over last weekend, the 16-year-old had three reasons to be grateful for finishing in third place – something some would see as a letdown. The first reason was receiving the bronze medal was one place higher than she finished a year before at the same meet. The second reason is McCallum had to overcome a disappointing first day of competition, one in which she fell on both beam and bars while ending the day in a tie for ninth place. Her second-day score of 56.950 was the second-best all around score of the night, which enabled her to leapfrog much of the competition and onto a place on the podium. The third reason? Well, that can
simply be summed up with one name: Simone Biles – the greatest women’s gymnast in history. Biles claimed her sixth national title by easily outscoring the second-place finisher (Sunisa Lee, who is also a Minnesotan) by five points. McCallum’s total of 111.850 was over six-anda-half points behind Biles. With her third-place finish, McCallum was again named to the U.S. National team, which means she will be considered for competing at the World Championships in October. If she is selected for that team, it will be her second time competing at Worlds. She was also selected for the 2018 team, where, with the help of Biles, the U.S. again won gold. Besides that, McCallum’s finish allows her to compete at the 2020 U.S. Olympic trials at the end of June. Another strong finish there will enable her to go through the rigorous and highly competitive Olympic team selection process, where this time around, only four girls will be selected to compete for team, all around and individual apparatus medals.

The river giveth and it taketh Walking in the beautiful Snake River in pursuit of fighting, thrashing fish is one of my favorite activities. Last year though, due to unsafe high water, I made just one such venture. As with most outdoor activities, fishing requires patience, and I had used up most of mine. This year, the water dropped sufficiently Loren W. in early July for me Brabec to make two walk-in fishing trips. Like a pet just released from its crate, I was hyped for what I thought would be lots of hot summer action. Then the rains came ... again and again ... and the water remained too high for safety. That is, until Sunday, Aug. 4. A low water level was back, the water temperature was ideal, and it was a hot, sunny day. It was perfect for what felt like a “maiden voyage.” When I arrived at the entry point, a father and his son were fishing from shore. As I eagerly strode past and took my first steps into the river, I told them I’d been anxiously awaiting this day. I wonder now how much that showed! I crossed the river to put some distance between us. Within five minutes, I caught my first fish, a skinny northern which I unhooked and released. It must not have known it was little. A 15” smallmouth took my very next offering as though it were waiting for my lure to drop from the sky. I admired my catch as I reached into my pocket for the stringer. I didn’t look their way, but I’m sure the father and his son were duly impressed. Within minutes, a walleye about as long as my shoe was on the line, and shortly an impressive 25-3/4” northern
followed suit. Both were released, the walleye being way too small and the northern being in the slot, just a quarter-inch too small! A third northern, this one just below the slot, grabbed my Mepps spinner and made a nice companion to the smallie on the stringer. Two fish, about two pounds each. Perfect for two meals for two! I could hear fillets sizzling already. Not all my luck was good luck, however. As it is with many excursions into the river, one is bound to occasionally lose a lure or two. My loss though was not due to a submerged tree trunk, a stubborn rock or a “monster-cut” line. Instead, the plastic case holding a small but deadly stash of tackle had slipped unnoticed from my pocket after a lure change. I fished at least five minutes before, to my horror, I discovered its absence. The case would have slowly floated away with the current, sinking gradually, I suppose, into the dark water below. Perhaps it finally rested on the bottom, but the water was too dark for me to spot it. Maybe it was carried far enough to be caught on fallen tree branches or to be beached on the shore where the river makes a gradual bend. Searching later in the week proved futile. Maybe someday I’ll find the case and all the lost lures, but then someone else might have already picked it up. Possibly, it lies lodged beneath a rock and is now mostly covered with sand. Oh, well. I’m over it. After all, I’ve also found my share of lures while walking the Snake. Gosh, it was a nice couple hours!

What’s the answer to tomato blossom end rot? BY DONNA TATTING CHISAGO COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS
At this year’s Almelund Threshing Show, the Chisago County Master Gardens answered a very diverse group of gardening questions. Of course and as we expected, the questions about the Japanese beetle were among the most common. But it did surprise us how many more questions we had about blossom end rot. It is a common problem with tomatoes and especially those grown in containers, so we were able to help those folks with the reasons why it’s happening and make suggestions on what can be done to prevent it. The following article from 2016 by Michelle Grabowski, Extension Educator with the University of Minnesota, addresses the blossom end rot issue further. Fruit affected by blossom end rot have a tan to black, flat, leathery area on the bottom (blossom end) of the fruit. Fungal spores may be visible on the discolored area, and rot may extend into the fruit, but this problem is not caused by a pathogen. Blossom end rot is the result of a calcium deficiency in the growing tomato fruit. Any bacteria or fungi present are secondary organisms, taking advantage of the weakened fruit. Although blossom end rot is caused by a calcium deficiency in the fruit, it does not mean that there is a lack of calcium in the soil. Often blossom end rot occurs as a result of several cultural or environmental factors that affect the plant’s ability to take up calcium.
Fluctuations in soil moisture, heavy applications of nitrogen fertilizer, and injury to roots can all predispose tomato plants to blossom end rot. Here are some steps gardeners can take to prevent blossom end rot. - Keep the soil around the tomato plant evenly moist but not waterlogged. Do not allow the soil to completely dry out between watering. Fast-growing tomato plants use lots of water on a hot, sunny day. Mulch the soil with straw, wood chips or plastic mulch to reduce moisture loss. Touch the soil to determine if it needs water. Soil type, exposure to sun and wind, and plant size will all affect how frequently a tomato plant will need to be watered. Potted tomato plants may need to be watered more than once a day. - Do not over-apply fertilizer to tomato plants with young growing fruit. Excess fertilizer results in quick growth spurts that can increase blossom end rot. In addition, many of the nutrients in fertilizers compete with calcium for uptake by the roots. Tomato plants do not need fertilizer with phosphate or potash, but can be fertilized with 0.15 lb/100 ft2 of nitrogen if needed. Garden fertilizers will list three numbers on the label. These numbers represent the amount of nitrogen – phosphate – potash in the fertilizer. A fertilizer containing only nitrogen will have a number followed by two zeros (16-0-0). Follow the instructions on the package to apply the appropriate amount. - Avoid injuring tomato roots. Do not dig in the soil within 1 foot of the stem.
FLICKR WITH PERMISSION
Blossom end rot on tomatoes is a result of a calcium deficiency in the growing fruit.
- Consider using a different variety. Some varieties are more susceptible to blossom end rot. If severe blossom end rot occurs regardless of good cultural practices, try a different variety next year. Do not give up on the tomato plant if blossom end rot does occur. Often the first fruit are the most severely affected. Fruit produced later in the growing season may not have blossom end rot at all. Fruit with blossom end rot can be
eaten if the rotten part is cut out and the fruit is cooked. Any type of rot can affect the natural acidity of the tomato fruit. As a result, tomato fruit with rot should never be used for canning because the natural acidity plays an important role in keeping out harmful microorganisms. The fruit can be cooked and eaten, cooked and stored, or frozen, cooked and eaten. Donna Tatting is a Chisago County Master Gardener.
How climate change is affecting forests BY JERRY VITALIS CHISAGO COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS
I think most people believe that the climate is changing around the world. The argument is what’s causing it. A few years ago I wrote an article on the effects climate change is having on our forests, and I don’t think the change is slowing down. The EPA reported that for the Great Lakes Region, the next century could bring one of the greatest environmental changes since the end of the ice age. One of the greatest concerns
here in Minnesota will be the changes that will occur in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The forest there contains tamarack, black spruce and balsam fir. These trees have adapted to the area’s cool, moist weather. Aspen and birch forests currently make up much of the northern half of the state, and they would be completely lost or greatly reduced in size. In place of these forests, oak, hickory, elm, ash and cottonwood that currently exist in the southern region of the state would expand northward.

to increase due to warmer winters and will further reduce the number of plants in the forest understory. All of these factors make it difficult for new forest species to become established and thus be able to replace tree species that are dying out due to climate change.

Dr. Lee Frelich of the University of Minnesota Center for Hardwood Ecology warned of the changes that will occur. Trees under stress due to climate changes will become more susceptible to diseases and pest infestation. In addition, climate change will result in the European earthworm expanding into these northern areas. These worms break down the duff layers on the forest floor, which results in drier soils with lower nutrient availability. The result of this is an increased risk of wildfires. Deer populations are expected

Learn the secrets of the livewell BY STEVE CARNEY NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
As we head into midsummer, there are lots of clues that gamefish can give you if you know what you are looking for. Walleyes especially have a multitude of food sources during the summer months and monitoring your livewell will tell you what they have been feeding on and will clue you in on how you should amend your presentations to basically “match the hatch.� 1.) CRAYFISH PARTS Often walleyes, northern pike and largemouth bass will expel their food into your livewell and give you a clue to what they are feeding on. Crayfish are
very common at this time of the summer, and if they are feeding on them, you will see little pink crayfish parts burped up in the livewell. This is a clue to what your presentation should be such as crayfish-colored jigs and crankbaits. 2.) SUNFISH AND CRAPPIES Larger walleyes and pike often expel large bluegills and small crappies throughout the summer months. They often have a smorgasbord of minnow sources and have many opportunities to feed on many species as the minnow hatches are now complete. If I spot a burped-up sunfish in the livewell, I switch over to a bait that resembles a sunfish like
an orange-colored minnow bait or shad-style bait. Many times they expel fathead minnows and even shiner minnows, which again gives you a clue to what you should be offering. The trick is to duplicate the prey they have been feeding on and your livewell can give you those clues. 3.) LEECHES Blood leeches are a common food during August, and if you find a burped-up blood leech, than you know it’s time to switch over to a jig-n-leech or livebait rig with a lone leech. It’s all about recognizing the clues to success and making the adjustment!
Ask A Trooper: Is it legal to drive with a Jeep windshield folded down? Question: I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler which has a windshield that has the ability to fold down from the factory. I am just wondering if the windshield is properly folded down and strapped as per the factory design if this is then legal to drive on highway, county or state roads in Minnesota. While I doubt I’ll ever be zipping down I-94 with the windshield down, it would make it a lot easier driving between offroad trails to not put it up and down, but don’t want to break the law. Answer: We get this question fairly often, and it brings out some good Ask a discussion. When it comes to a windshield in a passenger vehicle, you are Trooper required to have one. Under Minnesota State Statute 169.468 it states, Sgt. Neil “the commissioner has adopted fedDickenson eral motor vehicle safety standards,� which is where it states a windshield is required (in the federal law.) For the purposes of your windshield being a “fold down from the factory� this is for “off-road use.� Motorcycles may or may not have windshields, but even when they do, they do not meet legal requirements, and a rider must wear eye protection. Sgt. Neil Dickenson is Minnesota State Patrol Public Information Officer for the state’s northeast region.

Medicare changes devastate seniors BY LAURA MARTIN NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
What happens when your medical insurance is suddenly challenged? When the plan you have come to rely on has changed or is taken away entirely. Isanti County area senior citizens were faced with this situation in the fall of 2018 when 66 of the 87 counties in Minnesota ceased to continue with Medicare Cost Plans. The Medicare Advantage Cost Plans is a staple of the medical coverage provided by the state of Minnesota. The big three insurers; Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota, Heath Partners and Medica contract with Medicare to deliver the Part A and Part B benefits. Starting this year, the insurance companies were required to discontinue Medicare Cost Plans in the counties where at least two competing Medicare Advantage Plans were available the year before. The elimination of the Cost Plans was primarily in the seven-county metro area, eastern and southern Minnesota. A total of 21 counties were able to continue their cost plan status, and this included Kanabec, Mille Lacs, Pine and the bulk of the Arrowhead Region. This created an extremely confusing environment for the seniors in our area. Isanti County discontinued the cost plans, and to make the problem even more confusing letters were sent out in August of 2018 to area Medicare recipients in Kanabec County telling them that their Cost Plans had been pulled. An error was made in the Isanti/Kanabec border line and it hit hard in the Braham area. Lisa Krahn from Seven County
Senior Federation is one of the key advocates in our area, and one of the individuals who were trying to wade through the piles of information received last year. Krahn said, “Cost plans had been in effect roughly in the 90’s, beginning back as early as the Reagan era when health care changed. It became managed 1983. It was organized at the federal level and that let all the private health care plans begin to create the system we have today.” Krahn continued, “Medicare Advantage Cost Plans are simple. Almost everyone had a cost plan. They were the standard thing in Minnesota. Cost plans provide ease of coverage because you can add them whenever you want and drop them whenever you want. They take all comers; they don’t ask health history questions. You could just throw a plan on to your health care on a Tuesday and it would take effect the first day of the next month.” A marketing decision, the changes that effected elimination of the Cost Plans in these counties spurred on a great deal of decisions for the senior community. 300,000 people with Cost Plans in Minnesota had to switch plans due to changes in coverage that were enacted by the Federal Government. This decision was made by the government back in 2014, but was rolled out quickly in 2018. The government agencies involved spent months analyzing the figures before they made their final announcement in October of 2018, and by this time many people were concerned about their where their providers would be and how it would affect their drug coverage. “It was devastating to many seniors.” Krahn said, “First, they had to make
some major changes to their health care that ultimately could take them away from their current provider or increase what they already paid out of pocket.” Looking to 2019 there is some hope. Though there could be more changes. Krahn gives this advice: “Read everything that comes in the mail, and have
patience. This year you may not have to make any change at all.” If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call Seven County Senior Federation at 320-679-4700, or The Senior LinkAge Line at 1-800-333-4233 if you are concerned about any information you receive in the mail or by phone.

Your Lawn and Garden Guide
Compost is part of the circle of life in gardens The season for fresh fruits and vegetables grown right in the backyard is upon us. Warm weather breathes life into fresh berries, tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers and many other delectable fruits and vegetables. Home gardens can be supplemented with delicious finds from the supermarket or farmer's market, including melons, corn and more. The bounty of the garden can be made more abundant and fruitful with the addition of the right soil amendments. Compost is a key element of rich, nutritious soil. Scraps from items that have been grown in the garden can then be reused in the production of the compost that feeds that same garden. It's a continuous circle of garden life. Getting started with compost is relatively easy.
Homeowners should choose an outdoor space near the garden but far away from the home so that it won't be disturbed by kids or animals. Some people opt for an open compost pile, while others choose closed bins to contain the possible smell and to camouflage the compost. A sunny spot will help the compost to develop faster, according to Good Housekeeping. The next step is to start gathering the scraps and materials that will go into the compost. Better Homes and Gardens suggests keeping a bucket or bin in the kitchen to accumulate kitchen scraps. Here are some kitchen-related items that can go into the compost material: · Eggshells · Fruit peels · Vegetable peels and scraps
763-444-8873 233 Cajima St. • Isanti, MN 55040 www.MinnesotaEquipment.com
· Coffee grounds · Shredded newspaper In addition to these materials, grass and plant clippings, dry leaves, bark chips, straw and sawdust from untreated wood can go into the pile. Avoid diseased plants, anything with animal fats, dairy products and pet feces. A low-maintenance pile has an equal amount of brown and green plant matter in the compost plus moisture to keep the bacteria growing and eating at the right rate. Aerating the compost occasionally, or turning the bin when
possible, will allow the compost to blend and work together. Compost will take a few months to form completely, says the Planet Natural Research Center. The finished product will resemble a dark, crumbly soil that smells like fresh earth. Compost will not only add nutrients to garden soil, but also it can help insulate plants and may prevent some weed growth. It is a good idea to start a compost pile as a free source of nutrition for plants and a method to reduce food waste in an environmentally sound way.
