Signs of the times: Can you recognize a potential teen shooter? This is the second in a two-part series covering two active shooter training events in Chisago and Isanti counties. BY LORI ZABEL NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
“My name is Nik, and I’m going to be the next school shooter of 2018. My goal is at least 20 people with an AR-15 ... It’s going to be a big event, and when you see me on the news, you’ll know who I am. You’re all going to die ... Can’t wait.” Nikolas Cruz recorded three cell phone videos planning his attack on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, before carrying out his plans on Valentine’s Day 2018. The 19-year-old former student killed 17 people and injured 17 others in the deadliest high school shooting
in United States history. What caused the rampage? What could have been done to stop it? These questions were considered in a four-hour training seminar on Aug. 16 at Braham Event Center called “Prepare, Prevent & Respond,” presented by Phil Chalmers. Over the past 30 years Chalmers has interviewed more than 200 killers face to face, including school shooters and teen murderers. He wrote a book in 2009 called, “Inside the Mind of a Teen Killer.” “He’s a very, very textbook killer,” Chalmers said of Cruz. “His eighth grade teacher said, ‘I strongly believe that Nikolas is a danger to the students and faculty at this school. I don’t feel like he understands the difference between his violent video games and reality.’”
A MULTIPLE-CAUSE CRIME Chalmers warned against pointing to one specific cause such as violent video games or the availability of guns as the single cause of the increase in school shootings. “Teen murder is a multiple-cause crime,” he said. “It’s not just one thing. There are three to six causes stacked up on each other.” He detailed a list of 13 influences he’s discovered through his interviews with teen shooters and ranked them from least common to most common. Chalmers said mental illness and/or brain injuries affect many teen shooters. They aren’t merely depressed, but suffer from mental disorders like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. Number 12 is no spiritual guidance or discipline. SEE SHOOTER, PAGE 5

Pie in the eye Lilah Dybvig smashes a whipped cream pie into her mom Jasmine’s face during the fourth annual “GP & Bean Gut Check 5K” on Saturday, Aug. 24, at Peterson Park in Cambridge. The pie in the face is a takeoff of the ice-water challenge that was popular a couple years ago. Proceeds from the event go for Gastroparesis research, an affliction Jasmine’s mom has been battling for several years now.

The Aug. 22 Cambridge-Isanti school board meeting was short, but bittersweet. With minimal agenda items listed, the meeting quickly progressed to the conclusion that several on the board were dreading – saying goodbye to superintendent Dr. Ray Queener. “Your contributions you’ve made to our district and our kids over the last six years have been immeasurable,” chair Timothy Hitchings said. “I appreciate everything you’ve done for us.” “The first time I heard you (Queener) speak was the student kickoff in the PAC,” board member Carri Levitski said. “The speech you gave was monumental. I thought to myself, ‘This is what a leader is all about.’ In the three years I have known you, you have taught me so much. You are the epitome of what being a leader is all about. You have never accepted ineffective job performance. You have hired the best staff, and you
Timothy HItchings Cambridge-Isanti School Board Chair have always exemplified our five character traits.” Finally, board member Gary Hawkins attempted to lead the room in the refrain from “Happy Trails to You.” “I think it’s important to thank the community for all they have done for our district,” Queener said. “We are blessed to have some great communities. Secondly, you will not find a better group of administrators. Thank you to the board for believing in me and our work. SEE QUEENER, PAGE 8

3 signs of sun-damaged skin or UV, radiation from the sun.
The summer sun beckons many people outdoors. Soaking up some rays on a warm summer day can be a great way to unwind and get a little color. It’s not always easy to recognize signs of sun damage when spending time outdoors in the summer, especially for people who lay out in the sun hoping to get a tan. Such damage may be overlooked or more evident in the fall, when people begin spending more time indoors. But sun-damaged skin should not be taken lightly. In fact, the Skin Cancer Foundation notes that the vast majority of melanomas, the most dangerous form of skin cancer, are caused by the sun. The SCF even notes that one study from researchers in the United Kingdom found that 86 percent of melanomas can be attributed to exposure to the ultraviolet,
Sun-damaged skin will not necessarily lead to skin cancer. However, the American Academy of Dermatology notes that sun damage can lead to skin cancer. Going outdoors without adequate protection makes skin vulnerable to sun-related damage. Learning to recognize three of the more common types of sun damage may compel people to visit their physicians and take potentially life-saving steps to prevent future damage. 1. Wrinkles Wrinkles aren’t always a byproduct of aging. While the Mayo Clinic notes that skin becomes less elastic and more fragile as it ages, increasing the likelihood that wrinkles will develop, wrinkles also can indicate sun-damaged skin. 2. Age spots According to the AAD, age spots, which are flat brown, gray or black spots on the skin, appear on areas of the body that are most often exposed to the sun,
including the face and hands. The AAD notes that what looks like an age spot could actually be skin cancer. If any such spots are detected, men and women should see a board-certified dermatologist for a thorough skin exam. 3. Loose skin Loose skin is sometimes a byproduct of aging, but it also can be indicative of sun damage. Various products claim to treat loose skin, but the AAD notes that facelift-like results likely won’t come from any product sold in a jar. For example, the AAD says results from skin-firming creams will be subtle at best. Products that contain a retinoid like retinol, which can help the body make more collagen, might produce minor results. Sun-related skin damage can affect peoples’ appearance and even suggest the presence of something more serious, such as skin cancer. Learn more by visiting the American Academy of Dermatology at www.aad.org.

Contributions always welcome
Recently, I was talking with a group of readers about the performance of the Star and how we can make it even better. During that conversation, the question was asked about contributing press releases or even ideas for possible stories. One of their main concerns was the possibility of my email inbox being inundated with stuff that isn’t “worthy” of being published. But I will tell you exactly what I told them. In the news industry, there is no such thing as too much information. In fact, the more emails I get, the better (with the exception of Worth a from politicians. SomeThousand emails how I’ve gotten on a number of Words the presidential candidates’ lists, resulting in multiple emails a Bill day mostly asking for money). To take this a step further, I Stickels III would say that press releases and story suggestions are our lifeblood. If you take a close look at all of the bylines in each edition of the paper, you will probably see a method to our madness. For the most part, our front page stories will be ones written by one of our reporters. In addition, on particularly busy news weeks, we will have additional stories on one or two inside pages, plus the sports page(s). Beyond that, though, it is almost exclusively articles contributed from our readers. Even when looking at those stories written by our reporters, I would say a good chunk of them – especially the human interest stories – were brought to our attention by our readers. For example, last April’s story about Gene Van Alstine’s making 10 violins for his grandchildren came about because of a suggestion from one of our readers. And that story, in turn, was passed along to none other than Boyd Huppert, who turned it into one of his “Land of 10,000 Stories” features on KARE11. More recently, our story about Hannah Beaufeaux, the former CIHS swimmer who got her pilot’s license at the age of 19, also came from a reader’s suggestion. The same could be said about the North Branch students who graduated from high school and Anoka-Ramsey Community College at the same time. It doesn’t even matter how “small” a story some may think it could be. Sometimes those too can turn into one of our most-read stories. The same thing can be said for photos. We welcome any photos contributed by our readers or suggestions for events that might be worth covering. It can be a little trickier getting to some of those due to timing and availability, but if I or another photographer are available, we try to make it to as many events as possible. And when we can’t, then circle back to the first two sentences of this paragraph and feel free to contribute your own photos. So again, please feel free to email me, call me, or even stop me in the grocery store with suggestions. After all, as I’ve said before, you are the Star.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Summer events make us proud to be Cambridge residents To the editor, As the summer season draws to a close, I think it’s fitting to thank the city of Cambridge for all the events they sponsored. The concerts at City Park were great. The Third Thursday events were fun to go to also. Lastly, “Night to Unite” was great. Thanks to the hard work of those who fixed hot dogs and hamburgers on a very hot night. We are proud to be residents of a very nice town. Thanks! The Danielsons Cambridge
Thanks for making Rough ‘N Tough Against Hunger a success To the editor, We were excited to have the opportunity to hold a second Rough ‘N Tough mud run to raise funds for Family Pathways Hunger Relief. Despite the rain and lightning, we had a great turnout on July 20 at New Hope Community Church in Cambridge. Of the 320 registered participants, 280 decided to fight the rain and take a chance on the event, and we are glad they did. We had a slight lightning delay, and all of the 70plus volunteers made sure every single person was safe and took shelter. We enjoyed some time in the building while eating some food from our food trucks and had great conversations. We actually think being “stuck” inside caused the participants to build relationships with each other that they wouldn’t have
had otherwise! Some of the comments we received afterwards were, “What a great way to raise money,” and “We will be back next year and with more people” and “This was the best course I have been on” (from someone that does the BIG courses) and “Very organized, and your volunteers were so nice and helpful.” We are thankful to all the sponsors who helped fund the event. Their organizations were promoted on the course, in the marketing and on the shirts of volunteers and participants. And, of course, we thank the many volunteers who took on certain obstacles. They brought their expertise, time and equipment to help build this course. We are very grateful for all of the support we had – thank you! With Rough ‘N Tough 2018 being the first year, it was a success to get the word out, build the course, get people engaged and raise some funds. This year, with most expenses out of the way, we were able to raise significantly more money for Family Pathways Hunger Relief. Because of you we were able to donate $15,471.32 to hunger relief in Isanti County and the surrounding community! This is a big deal. The $15,471.32 you raised equals $154,713.20 in Family Pathways purchasing power, and that equals 123,770 meals! We are already planning for 2020 and look forward to your partnership. Please like our page on Facebook (Rough ‘N Tough Against Hunger), post any pictures you may have and share this great opportunity with others. We genuinely thank you for all the support you’ve given us the past two years. The Rough ‘N Tough Team New Hope Community Church

SHOOTER: Warning signs, triggers always precede school mass shooting incidents FROM PAGE I
“There’s no spiritual upbringing,” Chalmers said, “no reason to live, no purpose in life. They’re not being disciplined at school or at home.” Chalmers said the next factors that can lead to shooting incidents are: poverty, peer pressure, and being drawn into cults, gangs and hate groups. At number 8 is the thirst for fame. The social media culture has increased the desire of young people to be known and remembered – even for a horrendous crime. The use of illegal drugs, alcohol and misuse of prescribed medications also affect many young people. Chalmers said suicidal ideologies influence many school shooters. They come to a school shooting prepared to die. They assume they’ll be killed and many desire “suicide by cop.” The cause Chalmers shared at number 5 is an obsession with deadly weapons. “They love guns, bombs, knives,” he said. “This is the kid that collects 30 knives. He points a gun at the camera on Instagram and Snapchat.” VIOLENT MEDIA AFFECTS REAL LIFE Chalmers spent a large portion of the seminar giving insight into the number 4 cause: obsession with violent entertainment like video games, torture films, violent music and violent pornography. “I’ve never interviewed a school
shooter who has not played violent video games – ever,” he said. He reported that Adam Lanza, the Newtown killer, and Nikolas Cruz played video games 15 hours a day, including Grand Theft Auto 5, the most popular video game to date with over $6 billion in sales. Chalmers showed clips of the game from the viewpoint of players as they shot law enforcement officers in the face, shot multiple victims many times even as they writhed on the ground, simulated sex acts and how a gamer’s character shot a prostitute after sex and burned her body – all in realistic computer-generated animation. Grand Theft Auto 5 also has a modification available in which players can simulate the Columbine school shooting in bloody, graphic detail from start to finish. Chalmers noted that bullying, the number 3 cause, is one of the strongest factors in pushing students toward violent behavior – it’s a short distance to lashing out after being on the receiving end of violence or humiliation. Chalmers said an unstable home life (number 2), which might include physical, sexual or mental abuse or abandonment, is a leading factor in violent behavior. And finally, at number 1, Chalmers said fatherlessness is the one factor he saw in the majority of the interviews he made with teen killers. “No dad, no order,” he said, “brokenness, a broken home.” This mirrors
Ask A Trooper: Can I pull into the intersection while waiting to turn left? Question: When turning left on a blinking yellow light, should one pull into the intersection? It seems like a blinking yellow should let at least one car through, but often cars will wait behind the line, negating the ability to move traffic through the intersection. Answer: If you are at a flashing yellow light and are preparing to turn left, enter the intersection with caution. Drivers are allowed to turn left after yielding to all oncoming traffic and to any pedestrians in the crosswalk. Oncoming traffic has a green light. Drivers must Ask a wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic before turning. Trooper If a vehicle ahead of you is Sgt. Neil signaling for a left turn, slow down and prepare to stop. Dickenson If you are behind a vehicle making a left turn, do not enter the intersection in case the traffic light turns red as you might not be able to clear the intersection. This type of maneuver is against the law per Minnesota statue 169.15 IMPEDING TRAFFIC; INTERSECTION GRIDLOCK. The intersection gridlock law applies specifically to entering an intersection (at a traffic control light) that you can’t cross because traffic is backed up through the intersection due to another red light, train, etc. Entering the intersection in this case is against the law. It happens in many cities and creates a lot of problems with the flow-oftraffic when one direction of traffic cannot continue on a green light because vehicles on the cross road are stopped and blocking the other lanes of traffic.

what researchers have found as a link between a majority of prison inmates. WARNING SIGNS PRECEDE ATTACKS While these types of life situations can lead to the development of a school shooter mindset, Chalmers said actual warning signs usually precede school shootings and indicate a young person is on the brink. “You need to teach the warning signs,” he said, “so people take them seriously and not let them slide.” The number one warning sign is threats of violence, either spoken or posted on social media. Prior to the Parkland shooting, Cruz had placed video messages on Youtube and made numerous verbal threats to carry out a school shooting, but reports to the local sheriff’s office and the FBI weren’t acted on. Other warning signs include: posting pictures of guns and other weapons on social media, fascination with other school shootings and mass murders, making drawings of shooting people, keeping a journal of plans for violence, Peeping Tom behaviors, fascination with setting fires and cruelty to animals. Along with the warning signs, Chalmers said parents and schools should watch troubled students for “triggers” – inciting incidents that could push them over the edge. “The number one trigger for male school shooters,” he said, “is when their girlfriend dumps them.” He said the few
PREVENTION OPTIONS While Chalmers stressed there is no easy way to prevent school shootings, he offered these options: - Eliminate bullying from a child’s life and attempt to remove them from abusive homes - Encourage monitoring and restricting violent and pornographic entertainment - Monitor possible drug and alcohol usage - Keep children away from gangs, even if it involves moving to a new community - Make sure guns and weapons are locked in a steel safe
female school shooters were triggered by their parents saying they could not date a particular person. Aside from the dating triggers, Chalmers said others include: suspension or expulsion; arrest, even over a traffic ticket; dispute with parents and a bullying incident at school. The news isn’t all bad – with the intervention of families, counselors or other caring adults, Chalmers said a potential teen shooter can be stopped. “We must stand together with and assist parents who are out of options with their violent teens,” he said. “Let’s start spending our dollars now and get these troubled kids the help they need or we will, instead, be spending our money to apprehend and incarcerate teens later.” More information can be found at philchalmers.com.
County wants more clarity on feedlot discussion BYJENNIFER KOTILA NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
The Isanti County board of commissioners has opted to kick back a proposed feedlot amendment, hoping that debate on the subject won’t continue until the cows come home. After conducting a public hearing regarding the proposed amendment, the board decided it would not take action regarding the amendment until some of the issues raised at the public hearing are addressed. Isanti County resident Bob Olson explained that he is a farmer from southwest Isanti County. He has been farming for 55 years on a 153year family farm. He explained he has invested in his buildings and properties, as well as the time and costs associated with being a permitted feedlot through the State of Minnesota. However, he does more crop farming at this time and only has enough animals on his feedlot to qualify as a feedlot if there is a bad crop year. He proposed an additional paragraph in the permitted uses portion of the ordinance in order to protect his farm and investments. He would like the board to add, “A minimum of 1,000 feet setback for additional non-farm dwellings if an inactive feedlot is currently certified, registered or licensed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).” His justifications for the amendment are that the MPCA requires a fee to complete the application, which establishes guidelines for maintaining and operating facilities it has approved and licensed after review. The review includes a site inspection, and clients have MPCA reporting requirements to remain actively permitted. Olson noted there are a small number of inactive operations in Isanti County that have taken the initiative to remain usable and protect sizable investments made to their facilities, on which they also pay taxes. Commissioner Susan Morris said that adding this paragraph places the county in the same position it is
‘The problem that we had is there are people who have inactive feedlots and have used that to prevent people from moving in.’ Susan Morris Isanti County Commissioner trying to prevent. “The problem that we had is there are people who have inactive feedlots and have used that to prevent people from moving in,” she said. “That’s the idea,” Olson responded, “so you don’t have an adversarial situation between a new resident that builds and somebody that has made an earlier investment. If they came back with livestock, they’d be the bad person and they made the investment first. So I’ve got a couple hundred thousand dollars worth of buildings, and somebody moves too close to me, and I put livestock in and they complain – I’m the bad guy. I’ve been there a long time. I’ve made the investment; I pay taxes on my buildings, and I don’t think somebody should drop in at the last minute and all of a sudden we have an adversarial situation.” Commissioner Greg Anderson explained this discussion took place at length when the planning commission was amending the ordinance. Resident David Moritz explained to the board his two concerns. He’s invested well over $100,000 into his feedlot, he said. His farm started with two steers his son got for a project. Currently, he is at 30 animal units, not meeting the 50 animal unit requirement by the county in the amended ordinance. If he were to have to meet that requirement, he would have to increase his farm operation much more quickly than he is prepared to do. Another concern for Moritz is the window of time that animals have to be on the feedlot in order to remain active. He explained that a medical
issue or other emergency could cause a farmer to go longer than one year without the required animal units on the feedlot, thereby losing the status. After extensive discussion regarding the concerns brought forth, the board tabled a decision on the ordinance amendment, sending it back to the planning commission with the following instructions: • create a plan for facilities that are not currently in use, but could be put into use in the future • look at extending the need for animals to be present for at least 45 days over 12 months, either by creating a longer time period or allowing an appeal process for an extension • consider decreasing the number of animal units required • create an administrative process for unforeseen circumstances. ENGINEERING STUDY APPROVED FOR HIGH TRAFFIC INTERSECTION The board approved a traffic study for County State Aid Highway 5 and Dual Boulevard in the city of Isanti at a cost of $27,148. The county will be responsible for two-thirds of the cost of the study ($18,819), and the city for one-third of the cost ($8,329). When asked how it was decided that the county will pay for twothirds of the cost, County engineer Richard Heilman explained that it is a three-leg intersection, and the CSAH 5, which is the county’s responsibility, is two of the three legs. The study is needed due to the increased traffic created when Kwik Trip opened at that intersection. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO RETIRE Board member Greg Anderson thanked county administrator Kevin VanHooser, who is retiring, for his 36 years of dedicated service to Isanti County. “All of your hard work and efforts are very much appreciated,” Anderson said. “We all have enjoyed working with you for the last several years as commissioners, and we wish you nothing but the best in your next life’s journey.”

Cambridge Allina Clinic to offer 3-D mammograms

Beginning Aug. 22, Allina Health Cambridge Clinic will start offering 3-D mammograms. The installation of the new advanced device is part of an Allina Health system-wide effort to provide the most effective tools available to help detect breast cancers at the earliest possible stage. “Early detection is the best protection because finding breast cancer early improves the likelihood that treatment will be successful,” said Allina Health Cambridge Clinic lead physician Dr. Amy Haupert. “Mammograms are safe and effective in detecting breast cancer in its earliest stage and with our new 3-D mammography device we are providing our patients with the best possible tool to find cancers at the earliest possible stage.” 3-D mammography is an FDA-approved advanced technology that takes multiple images, or X-rays, of breast tissue to recreate a 3-dimensional picture of the breast. It’s different from traditional mammography in that traditional mammography obtains just a single image. Images from both technologies are read on a computer. These multiple images of breast tissue slices give doctors a clearer image of breast masses. It makes it easier to detect breast cancer. Also, if you have dense breast tissue you may benefit from having a 3-D mammogram. Also known as digital breast tomosynthesis, 3-D mammography creates more detailed images of your breast. Allina Health makes these recommendations for screening mammography if you have an average risk for breast cancer, based on American Cancer Society guidelines: - age 40-44: mammograms are optional - age 45-54: have a mammogram every year - age 55 & older: have a mammogram every year or transition to having one every two years - continue to have mammograms as long as your health is good If you have a higher-than-average risk for breast cancer, your health care provider may recommend a different schedule. Women can be referred to the Cambridge clinic for a 3-D mammogram by their physician, or they can make an appointment directly by calling (763) 6898700.

QUEENER: Board approves contract for interim superintendent FROM PAGE I
In a bit of irony, the farewell last night was in the same room that we had our interview dinner six years ago. It was a good way to start and end.”

CONTRACT FINALIZED FOR DR. RUDOLPH Earlier in the meeting, the board approved a contract for Dr. Nathan Rudolph to take over as the interim superintendent for the district. After brief negotiations, the terms of the contract were agreed upon as being for 10 months, with a salary of $146,000. “Thank you for your support,” Dr. Rudolph said after the motion was unanimously approved. “I just want to honor the amazing work that Dr. Queener has done.” His first day on the job was Monday, Aug. 26, with the contract set to expire in June 2020. The next step will be for the board to decide how they would like to proceed in the selection process for hiring a permanent superintendent.
Assault reported at salon Work begins on Cambridge solar array STAFF REPORT NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
The Cambridge Police Department is investigating a reported assault and robbery at Great Clips, located at 1595 2nd Avenue NE. According to a press release, officers were dispatched at approximately 11:55 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 22, to the location. There, they made contact with an employee who informed them she was sexually assault-
ed and that the business later reported the robbery. There is no description of a suspect at this time and law enforcement is actively investigating the case, following the state of Minnesota guidelines for sexual assault investigations. They are asking anyone who has any information regarding this incident to contact the Cambridge Police Department at 763-689-9567.
Renewable energy is comprising an ever-larger portion of power for East Central Energy (ECE) members, including the power it receives from its wholesale power supplier Great River Energy (GRE). Construction of a two-megawatt solar array has begun on 15 leased acres of land adjacent to Sandquist Park northeast of Cambridge. ENGIE North America, a private energy company, will sell the array’s yield under a 25-year contract to GRE who will then deliver and sell the entire output to ECE. The only investment for ECE in the project is to connect the array to their lines. The capacity of the solar array should generate enough electricity
for more than 300 homes. The layout includes a low-growing, pollinator-friendly meadow, eliminating the need for mowing and other costly upkeep. This new natural habitat is equivalent to planting wildflowers and grasses in over 9,000 backyard gardens. The deep roots of pollinator grasses also have significant soil and storm water benefits. The power generation portfolio for GRE includes more than 450 megawatts (MW) of wind energy, 200 MW of hydropower, 4 MW of solar, which equates to 25% of GRE’s total portfolio. It has announced plans for more than 400 MW of favorably-priced wind energy by 2020.
Isanti council hammers away at inspection woes BY JENNIFER KOTILA NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
A discussion regarding MNSPECT took place at the Isanti committee of the whole meeting Aug. 20, after Isanti city staff were instructed at the Aug. 7 city council meeting to put together some numbers, as well as the city’s options, pertaining to building permitting and inspection. The committee of the whole, which includes mayor Jeff Johnson and all council members, discussed at length the complaints received by residents about its contracted building inspection company MNSPECT, despite being locked into a contract for services through Dec. 31, 2020, with no out clause. Scott Qualle, of MNSPECT, was also in attendance. Isanti community development director Sheila Sellman presented a memo with options about what can be done about the complaints, including: work with MNSPECT and the builders regarding the complaints; terminate the contract with MNSPECT if both parties agree, and find a replacement – either another firm, an in-house building inspector and building official, or sharing one with another city. The memo also included costs for the different options. Due to the binding contract with MNSPECT, none of the options was discussed further at the meeting. Council member Steve Lundeen opened up the discussion by stating builders in Lake Elmo are having the same complaints about MNSPECT as builders in Isanti – permits and reviews are not being done quickly enough. He
noted the city is paying MNSPECT $180 per hour. “I want to know one thing, why is it taking so long to turn these over?” Lundeen asked. “I’ve been doing this for 45 years. I have never seen a permit take six to eight weeks. You need to request your information all in one shot, not then submit and resubmit again.” Lundeen shared his experience of working through the permitting process with MNSPECT when building a new home last year, noting he submitted the information required for heat loss regulation by filling out a form provided by MNSPECT, but they required more steps to reach compliance. “You cannot require any more stringent code compliances than the state already allows,” Lundeen said. “If you are, you’re going above and beyond.” Lundeen added that builders will end up leaving Isanti because they do not want to deal with MNSPECT, which will affect the city’s revenue base. TAKING A CLOSER LOOK In response to complaints the city is receiving, MNSPECT and Spellman pulled 12 permit requests for review, and each of those requests were approved within nine business days, Qualle said. “To clarify what that means,” he said, “the clock is not counting against us when we are waiting for something.” Johnson noted there are currently 13 complaints, and more coming in all the time. Qualle reminded Johnson that he has requested complaints be forwarded to MNSPECT in writing with specific details so the company can research and
respond to the complaints. “If I don’t get contractors, dates, addresses or permit numbers,” Qualle said, “how can I possibly respond to a complaint about ‘those guys do this’ or ‘those guys don’t do that’ if I don’t know what the facts are?” “I would be emailing you all the time, and I’m just being honest,” Johnson responded. Qualle said that when a complaint is made, it is important to discern whether the resident is complaining about code, attitude or timeliness. If the resident is simply upset that they have to comply with state building code, Qualle said there’s nothing to be done. “I’m doing what you asked me to do,” he said, “what you pay me to do, what you expect me to do – to protect the residents from builders who have a natural incentive to cut corners and do things less expensively so they can put additional money in their pockets. That’s why we have building code and licensed contracting in Minnesota.” Lundeen questioned why MNSPECT would be asking for additional engineering in plans if an engineer has already approved the plans. Qualle said there are frequent instances where an engineer will engineer a specific part of a home, like a porch, and then another area requires engineering because of its proximity to the original feature. “There might be three or four different places on a house that needs engineering,” he said, “because it isn’t able to comply with the constrictive requirements of the code. ... Without knowing details, I can’t respond.”
OTHER OPTIONS FOR INSPECTION There was some discussion regarding the city hiring its own building official, of which council members Dan Collison and Jim Gordon spoke in favor, noting costs between hiring and contracting were comparable. Although Johnson was in favor of hiring an in-house building official, he said there has been difficulty in the past being able to find an official with experience for what the city could afford. It was also noted that during an off-season, there is not enough work to keep a building official busy. Qualle reiterated that out of the permits reviewed, all were back in eight to 10 days, and small projects like decks were being approved within two days. In wrapping up that portion of the meeting, Lundeen emphasized the city’s seriousness about fixing the issues it is having with MNSPECT. “Do you understand the severity of what’s going on here?” he asked Qualle. “I understand you are quite concerned, yes,” Qualle stated. Johnson said that if builders started leaving Isanti because of MSPECT, that is a huge problem, because it is taking the city’s tax base. “The last mayor informed me,” Qualle said, “that if those builders don’t want to build up to code, we don’t need them building in Isanti. And I’m not saying you are wrong; I’m not saying he was wrong, but that was the direction I had previously. I am not enforcing anything more than the minimum standard of Minnesota state building code.”

Fall lawn care tips who want their lawns to thrive year-round can take advantage of the welcoming weather of fall to address any existing or potential issues.
Spring and summer may be the seasons most often associated with landscaping and lawn care, but tending to lawns and gardens is a year-round job. If lawn and garden responsibilities dip considerably in winter, then fall is the last significant chance before the new year that homeowners will have to address the landscaping around their homes. Fall lawn care differs from spring and summer lawn care, even if the warm temperatures of summer linger into autumn. Homeowners
· Keep mowing, but adjust how you mow. It's important that homeowners continue to mow their lawns so long as grass is growing. But as fall transitions into winter, lower the blades so the grass is cut shorter while remaining mindful that no blade of grass should ever be trimmed by more than onethird. Lowering the blades will allow more sunlight to reach the grass in the months ahead. · Remove leaves as they fall. Much like apple-picking and foliage, raking leaves is synonymous with fall. Some homeowners may wait to pick up a rake until all of the trees on their properties are bare. However, allowing fallen leaves to sit on the ground for extended periods of time can have an adverse effect
on grass. Leaves left to sit on the lawn may ultimately suffocate the grass by forming an impenetrable wall that deprives the lawn of sunlight and oxygen. The result is dead grass and possibly even fungal disease. Leaves may not need to be raked every day, but homeowners should periodically rake and remove leaves from their grass, even if there are plenty left to fall still hanging on the trees. · Repair bald spots. Summer exacts a toll on lawns in various ways, and even homeowners with green thumbs may end up with a lawn fi lled with bald spots come September. Autumn is a great time to repair these bald spots. Lawn repair mixes like Scotts® PatchMaster contain mulch, seed and fertilizer to repair bald spots, which can begin to recover in as little as seven days. Before applying such products, remove dead grass and loosen the top few inches of soil. Follow any additional
manufacturer instructions as well. · Aerate the turf. Aerating reduces soil compacting, facilitating the delivery of fertilizer and water to a lawn's roots. While many homeowners, and particularly those who take pride in tending to their own lawns, can successfully aerate their own turf, it's best to first have soil tested so you know which amendments to add after the ground has been aerated. Gardening centers and home improvement stores sell soil testing kits that measure the pH of soil, but homeowners who want to test for nutrients or heavy metals in their soil may need to send their samples to a lab for further testing.

BLUEJACKET SOUNDBITES in their home opener against Princeton on Tuesday.
BY CHRISTIAN BIEN NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
GIRLS TENNIS The girls tennis season started strong with a 6-1 win over Sartell on Monday, Aug. 19. The squad then took on some of the top programs in the state on Thursday, Aug. 22, at the Delano/ Orono individual tournament. Throughout the many matches of the tournament every one of the Jackets won at least one match, showing lots of upside for the rest of the season, according to head coach Lee Orvik. The highlight of the tournament was the doubles team of McKenzie Rafftery and Maddie Payne, who took second at first doubles. C-I would wrap up their first week of action with matches at home against Cloquet and Andover, with the team coming away with a clean sweep of 7-0 against Cloquet and a 5-2 win against Andover. The team was also scheduled to play in Hibbing; however, rains put an end to the action before all but one match could be finished.
GIRLS SOCCER C-I took on Zimmerman and Rockford in a tournament held in Zimmerman last week, putting up shutout performances in both games. In the first game against host Zimmerman, C-I scored two goals in the second half to earn the win. They followed that up with another shutout, this time against Rockford by a score of 3-0 for a stellar start to the season. Junior goalie Laurna Arends had a perfect start to her season in net, collecting both of the shutouts. BOYS SOCCER The Jackets lost their first game of the season against PACT Charter on Thursday, Aug. 22, 3-1. With a chance to redeem themselves two days later against Brooklyn Center, they fell short, losing 5-3 in a high-scoring affair. After maintaining a 1-1 tie at halftime, Brooklyn Center jumped out to a 5-1 lead. A late game effort from the team came to no avail. The boys are looking to use these first couple of losses as a wakeup call to take on Proctor on the 27th.
VOLLEYBALL The Jackets had their first match of the season on Friday, Aug. 23, and lost to Rochester Mayo 3-0, with scores of 25-4, 25-21, 25-18. The team will look to improve from their rough start

Braham native named to university coaching staff CONTRIBUTED ST. CLOUD STATE UNIVERSITY
As the anticipation for the 201920 season builds, the St. Cloud State University men’s basketball team has added Tyler Vaughan to its coaching staff, head coach Matt Reimer announced earlier this week. “I am very excited to work with (Vaughan),” commented Reimer. “From his playing days at MSU-Moorhead and coaching duties at the University of Sioux Falls, Tyler brings a wealth of knowledge to the league and is an excellent teacher of the game. He also has vast recruiting contacts and continues to broaden his network nationally.” Vaughan joins the Huskies
coaching staff after spending two seasons as a graduate assistant with Sioux Falls. In his two-year stint, the Cougars advanced to the quarterfinal round of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Tournament and were regionally ranked in both 2017-18 and 2018-19. Additionally, two student-athletes earned All-Conference honors during Vaughan’s tenure, including NSIC Newcomer and Preseason Player of the Year Trevon Evans. Prior to his coaching career, Vaughan was an All-NSIC guard at MSU-Moorhead and helped lead the Dragons to the NCAA Division II Elite Eight Championships in 2014-15. He graduated as

the all-time leader in three-point field goals made (289) and games started (118) and scored an impressive 1,474 career points with 531 rebounds, 310 assists and 147 steals. Vaughan earned All-Conference honors as a junior in 2014-15 when he led MSU-Moorhead to a 35-4 record and a 20-2 mark in NSIC play. That season, the Dragons earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament, eventually defeating Northwest Missouri State to advance to the NCAA Elite Eight for the first time in program history. Vaughan is a native of Braham, Minn., and earned All-State honors during his prep career at Braham High School. He currently resides in St. Cloud.

Paige Peaslee, Reagan Irons, Haley Hadrava, Kiley Kline and others will all benefit from each other’s play.
What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? We have several returners and some new

What challenges will the team face? We will need to be more consistent with our highpaced serves to be productive. What are your goals for the 2019 season? Our outlook is one game at a time and push to make a run for a second state title. We have a solid group of girls. We have nine returners and four new girls on our team.

What was last year’s regular-season record, conference record, and finish in the conference/sections? Regular Season: 3-22-0, Conference Record: 0-9-0 Who are the players to watch this year? I’m counting on Faith Nelson to run our offense and utilize our hard-hitting left side Makenzie Coplan and middle Allyson Treichel.
What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? We need to bring more speed and emotion to our game. Too many times last year we were on the defensive side of the ball. We need to show that we can be a skilled offensive team as well. What challenges will the team face? We lost a big part of our offense from last year with the graduation of Bridget Witzmann, but I’m confident this year’s seniors will step up. What are your goals for the 2019 season?

What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? It’s going to be how fast we mature as a team. We will be very young – graduated 22 seniors last year. We have talent coming up, and though the senior class is small, they continue to grow as leaders. What challenges will the team face? Our district opponents are always well-coached, and each week poses a unique challenge. Again, I think it’s going to be how fast we mature and come together as a team. What are your goals for the 2019 season? I think it’s the same each year. Uphold the tradition that is Bluejacket football.

There is a lot of “soccer talent” on the roster. Leveraging that will potentially provide a lot of on-the-field success. The talented underclassmen now have a year of competitive varsity under their belt, so we are looking to build on that experience, while it’s still young, to lead to positive results. Our main
key throughout the season is understanding the work that it will take to continually improve.
What challenges will the team face? Youth and depth will test our girls this year. While we gained experience last year, we still have a large number of talented underclassmen expected to contribute a significant amount every day.
What are your goals for the 2019 season? Our main goal is for everyone to understand the culture and the expectations it takes to be a successful and competitive program over the long term. If we take the correct steps with the proper mindset, we will build a solid foundation where we can realize success early. If we focus on our goal of improving our standard of play then everything else will take care of itself.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? Monticello looks to be very tough again. Duluth Marshall should be right back where they left off last year. Chisago Lakes should be right there with Duluth Marshall.

What was last year’s regular-season record, conference record, and finish in the conference/sections? Section: 7-4-0; Conference: 3-5-1; Overall: 9-8-1
Who are the players to watch this year? Isaac Johnson, Garrett Korkowski and Harry Toussaint
What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? This year will be a lot about hard work and wanting it more than the other team. We won’t have a huge senior pool, but we do have a size. Keeping the entire team in good shape and positive attitudes.
What challenges will the team face? Overcoming stronger depth benches will be the most difficult part.
What are your goals for the 2019 season? The goals for this year will be to take more shots than we allow, earn 50% possession or more per game, and not allow goals against to demoralize us.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? Monticello.

Regular Season: 1-12-1; Conference: 1-7-1 (8th); 8th place in sections Who are the players to watch this year? We have a strong core group of returning juniors and seniors that have played together now for a couple of years.
What will be the keys to the team’s success this year?

Wolcyn Tree Farms & Nursery
Communication and ball movement. Both will be key to generating an offensive attack and creating scoring chances, something we’ve struggled with in the past. What challenges will the team face? The size of our teams. We have a smaller number of players this year, so there isn’t a lot of room for injuries. What are your goals for the 2019 season? We always have a goal of having a better result than the year prior. We also are looking to finish in the upper half of the conference, and potentially a home game in Sections.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? Monticello is a very good team. In our section Duluth East has won the last couple years, and I expect they will put out a very good team again.

new conference will be welcome to the girls’ squad as well, but not quite as friendly as the boys'. Monticello girls remain and incoming Becker always fields a competitive program. Still, the girls will look to improve and compete for their first top three conference showing in over two decades. In Section 7AA, both Forest Lake and Andover look to return great teams.
BLUEJACKET BOYS CROSS COUNTRY Head coach: Josh Lowman Assistant coaches: Linda Droubie, Katie Adams What was last year’s regular-season record, conference record, and finish in the conference/sections?
Fourth out of 10 in the Mississippi 8 Conference; 5th out of 16 in Section 7AA; Dylan Larson (graduated) qualified for the state meet. Who are the players to watch this year? All-conference runner Henry Abraham (12th), All-conference honorable mention runner Jaxon Jones (10th), seniors Trent Viesselmen and Calixto Larson, and 10th graders Zander Gallmeier and Blake Roberts What are your goals for the 2019 season? Last year’s strong 4th-place finish (behind all of the schools leaving the conference) has opened the door for a number of schools to compete for a championship with the Jackets included in that conversation. We will be using a combination of veteran runners and younger talent to try to accomplish that goal.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? With the transition from the old Mississippi 8 (which included powers St. Michael, Buffalo and Rogers) to the new (adding Becker), the boys’ squad is excited. Forest Lake should retain the edge in winning another Section 7AA championship.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may be feeling sociable this week. Make the most of opportunities to hang out with those people you prefer to spend time with regularly. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Your work will be a labor of love for someone special, Taurus. Even though you are doing it for generous reasons, give yourself ample time to breathe and unwind. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, your routine offers you comfort this week, but you may want to find some way to veer off course for a little bit. Who knows what waits around the bend? CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you may be worrying about things that are troubling you instead of enjoying time spent with friends. Enjoy time with loved ones and your troubles will subside. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Surround yourself with loved ones this week, Leo. You will take away much joy from these interactions. Do something fun and playful with siblings or cousins. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you may feel the need to be responsible for others over the course of the next few days. They can probably handle themselves, but a little help never hurt.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, if you have put a high level of trust into other people, you won’t be disappointed when they live up to all of your expectations. Take some time to thank them. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you may feel a desire to be fully understood by others this week. But they can only understand you if you’re open and honest with them. Be more forthcoming. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you are alert and inspired this week, and you may be on a quest to expand your social circle. Go to community events or other social activities in your area. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, little financial uncertainty should compel you to take inventory or even revise spending habits. Unforseen circumstances can pop up. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 You may feel confused about your current situation in life, Aquarius. This may be the case if you’re comparing yourself to others. You’re actually doing quite well. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, innovative solutions are on the tip of your tongue. You just need to organize your ideas to present them to others.

Electric cars are not a new thing; they were already being manufactured in 1905. Rauch & Lang produced electric cars until 1920, when the gas-combustion engine became cheaper to run because of low gas prices.
