C-I school board proposes public comment time
Cambridge preliminary levy increase at 2 percent
BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
During a special council meeting on Monday, Aug. 27, the Cambridge city council approved the preliminary levy for 2019, along with holding a general discussion regarding the city’s financial future. Financial Director Caroline Moe reported to the council that she was able to cut down the city’s levy amount from an initial increase of 4.91 percent to a current increase of 2 percent. Moe said this was accomplished by cutting just over $151,000 from next year’s budget. There were two major changes that accounted for a majority of the reductions. The first was the transfer of $100,000 collected from the city’s share of the sale of a MnDOT building to the pavement management fund. The second change is to not hire SEE LEVY, PAGE 8

One of the offshoots of the Cambridge-Isanti School Board’s recent decisions regarding changes to the district’s paraprofessionals and special ed programs was a complaint that the general public wasn’t allowed time to address the entire board during their meetings. In response to this complaint, Human Resources Director Julia Lines informed the board that the policy review committee has been working on establishing a scheduled public comment period during each of the monthly board meetings. “There was a request from the board to look at this policy and try to come up with ways to better accommodate when people want to address the board,” Lines said. Currently, the board will only allow public comments on a specific agenda item if the person makes a written request at least five days before the scheduled meet-
ing. If the request is provided in time, the person will have five minutes to speak. While that part isn’t changing, what is proposed to be added is an open forum segment, which will allow people to sign up just prior to the meeting to speak on any topic. Those speakers will have three minutes to talk. If there are multiple people wishing to speak on the same topic, the board may request that one person be designated to speak for the group. “It was important to the board to make sure that members of the community are heard on the important matters that we are discussing,” Lines said. “So this will allow them to just show up at the night of the meeting and still be able to be heard.” Superintendent Dr. Ray Queener noted that the final version of the policy will be brought to a vote during the board’s September meeting, and if approved, will go into effect starting with the October meeting.

an you imagine? 5,723 fires. 1,250,467 acres up in smoke.1 Numbers aren’t sufficient to get a grip on the magnitude of the damage inflicted by wildfires on the western U.S. in recent months. Thousands of homes and businesses have been destroyed, and some reports say up to eight civilians and six firefighters have died. A Cambridge native is on the cutting edge of keeping firefighters out of harm’s way as they continue to fight major, uncontained fires in the west. Tyler Sibley, a 2003 graduate of Cam-

‘Memories ... of the way we were’ Last weekend, my mom was cleaning out a storage room when she came across a box full of stuff from my childhood. This stuff ranged from old report cards to newspaper clippings to a few photos and even some certificates of accomplishment. Now, I’m not exactly the sentimental, nostalgic type of person, so most of the stuff was just quickly glanced at before being placed in the recycling pile. But there were some things that I noticed that were somewhat interesting as it revealed that throughout time, some things about me haven’t changed, while other things have. Based on the report cards, my handwriting has always been shaky, espeWorth a when I’m in a hurry. My spellThousand cially ing skills have always been suspect Words (thank God for spell-check), as has my grammar (just ask my assistant Bill about that one). It was also mentioned more than once that sometimes I don’t Stickels III appear to be paying attention in class, which just helps prove my theory that I have gone almost my entire life being undiagnosed ADHD. Despite all of this, most of my teachers stated that I “was a pleasure to have in class” (obviously, that hasn’t changed either). And I’ve always had a competitive side to me, as proven by the T-ball, Little League and youth hockey memorabilia. In addition, there was my greatest “athletic” achievement, earning first place in the Cub Scouts “wooden turtle races” with my prized turtle, “Lightning” (whose name also indicates I’ve always had some sort of fondness for meteorology. And yes, he is one of the few things I kept.). There were also some things that seem to go completely against the person I have become. Believe it or not, in middle school, I auditioned for the One Act Play and got the costarring role in the scintillating play “In Search of the Golden Teardrop.” Unfortunately, that was also the year the teachers went on strike, costing us precious rehearsal time, and probably souring my taste for acting and causing my premature retirement from a theatrical career (with the exception of an “award-winning” performance as the king of Babylon in my church camp’s theatre night). I was also one of only a couple boys who took part in an after-school babysitting class, which provided me with a certificate of completion I could show perspective clients that mostly went unused. All of this just goes to show that it is a combination of trial and error, successes and failures that ultimately winds up shaping the person you become in your adulthood. So, to all you young kids out there (and actually, to the adults too), make the most out of the things you do. And don’t be afraid to try something out of your comfort zone. You never know what kind of an impact it will have on you in the future. Bill Stickels III is editor of the Isanti-Chisago County Star.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Surprised there’s not more response to headline word choice To the editor, In response to the two letters from Ms. Basta and Dr. Sanders, I am surprised you haven’t got hundreds of phone calls and e-mails regarding your disgusting choice of words on the defeat of Marlys Palmer’s run for mayor. Sure, she lost, but she was not OUSTED.
Anyone in a private sector employment would be looking for a job after a remark like that. I moved back to the Cambridge area after 18 years of living up north and south. I have heard nothing but disgust on the headline you published from many people in the community. You need to apologize publicly to her and the readers. Art Guthrie Cambridge
GUEST COLUMN
Updating the strategic plan North Branch Area Public Schools (NBAPS) has used its strategic plan as guidance for the future since “Mapping Our Future” was originally created in 2008 with much input from the community. The school district used a five-year model for both the original in 2008 and the folNB School low-up, “Building on Success,” News in 2013. Now we have Dr. Deb come to the end of “Building on Henton Success” and need to create a roadmap for the district for the coming years. One thing that is noticeably different from 2008 is the speed at which technology changes.
As a result, NBAPS will move from a five-year strategic plan to a two-year “continuous improvement plan.” We think this will make the school district more adaptable to changes in technology and education, and thus students will benefit from new advantages more quickly. I, along with Director of Teaching and Learning David Treichel, will be speaking with staff about our goals for a new continuous improvement model on Aug. 31 during staff development day. Staff will be asked to study our four goals and make suggestions for action items for each. Here are the district’s four goals: 1. Prepare all learners for success in school and life 2. Raise accountability for all staff and programs 3. Increase community engagement 4. Commit resources to district
priorities The input of the families and community we serve are very important to this process. To that end we will be working with Thoughtexchange in early September to create a process by which as many of you can participate toward the future of NBAPS as possible. Families will receive an invitation to this process as members of our directory. For community members, the school district will utilize many tools, including social media and partner organizations, to help spread the word about this important opportunity to provide input that will shape the future of education at NBAPS. Be on the look-out for this opportunity starting in mid to late September. Dr. Deb Henton is superintendent of North Branch Area Public Schools.

DRONE: Infrared cameras can detect hotspots small as a dinner plate from one mile FROM PAGE I
drone with a 10-foot wingspan named ScanEagle. The 44-pound drone can reach speeds of 92 mph with its 1.9-horsepower, two-stroke engine, but cruises at about 55 mph for its fire-detection duties. The craft can fly day or night, through smoke, and is equipped with an infrared camera and electro-optical cameras, along with tactical fire-mapping equipment, that transmit vital information back to the crew in real time. The infrared equipment can detect a hotspot as small as a dinner plate from more than a mile away, enabling firefighters to quickly target the location. “Every fire has been different so far,” Sibley said, “but we typically fly for eight hours a day. This is about half of the ScanEagle’s endurance on a single tank of gas.” Sibley’s team, consisting of other Insitu employees with pilot’s licenses, arrive two hours before a scheduled launch to prep the aircraft and ground support equipment. “We operate both day and night, whatever the customer requires,” he said. “So it has been a juggling act to maintain crew rest requirements, but the work is very rewarding.” A pneumatic launcher flings the drone into the sky where it will ascend to about 8,000 feet as it flies to the fire zone and then descend to around 5,000 feet. Pilots take two-hour shifts guiding the drone from inside a computer-outfitted truck stationed miles from the fire. From the live video feed, they can report to firefighters exactly what’s happening in remote and dangerous areas of a wildfire. Once its work is complete, the drone heads home and is snagged out of midair by a stationary cable that catches a wingtip hook, guided by dual GPS units on both the aircraft and the snare tower. “It’s been very interesting watching the life cycle of a fire and where we can help the most,” Sibley said. “As the fire grows, we are best suited for keeping an eye on the containment lines with our infrared cameras to ensure that no
How do you get a drone-flying job? Sibley got his private pilot’s license three days before boot camp in August 2005 Served in U.S. Navy until 2009 Insitu, a Boeing subsidiary and manufacturer of unmanned aircraft for military and commercial applications, sought qualified candidates with security clearances and aviation experience in 2009 “My dad is an over-the-road trucker and called me one day to say he had seen two black trucks on the freeway that had a UAV on the side. It was Insitu’s demonstration team. He told me to look up Insitu, so I did. I submitted a resume that afternoon. Five days later I was flown out to Portland, Oregon, for an interview and was offered the job a few days later.” Served two six-month tours in Iraq, operating drones from forward operating bases and launched from patrol boats Since 2009, has been a field service representative (flying ScanEagle in Iraq), a ScanEagle pilot instructor, served 2.5 years on the flight demonstration team Past 18 months on the commercial team pursuing commercial business opportunities in the U.S. and abroad

fire jumps the line. I have lost count of how many times we have watched this happen in the last five weeks.” MISSION OFFERS CHALLENGES Although Sibley knows his contribution to the firefighting effort is critical, like all those who’ve been battling the blazes for weeks, the situation has been difficult. His wife, Michele, and daughters Piper, 4, and Summer, 7 months, have been home alone in White Salmon, Washington. “It is very hard being away for weeks on end during the best time of the year,” he said. “My wife is amazing, though, and holds down the fort at home with our two little girls.” He’s been able to FaceTime or call his family when not in a remote area, but most missions have been at night, so he sleeps during the day, making communication difficult. His crew has stayed in hotels near their drone launch and recovery sites, but have also stayed in tents out in the
craft and above the helicopters dropping water. Sibley hopes the continued use of fire detection drones and interaction with other fire-fighting units will smooth the way for future utilization of ScanEagle. “It has been a great learning experience for us and the firefighters,” he said. “The feedback has been amazing, and the future of UAS in wildland firefighting is very bright.”
field. “Firefighters tend to live at the incident command post in tents and RVs when they are not on the fire line,” he added. THE FUTURE OF DRONE FIREFIGHTING Rubbing shoulders with the fire-fighting crews has helped alleviate a certain level of mistrust the firefighting pilots had for the drone and its operators at first. “Public perception is a huge challenge, especially within the aviation firefighting community,” Sibley said. “Some pilots refuse to fly while we are in the air, but as we get more face-toface meetings, and they see that we are commercial pilots from a professional aviation company and we are not flying toys, they tend to open up to the idea.” Sibley said the fire-fighting teams at this current fire have demonstrated trust by allowing the drone to fly within the “stack” – below the air attack aircraft in charge of directing other

Staff assume new roles at Frandsen Bank CONTRIBUTED FRANDSEN BANK
Seth Zeltinger, market president of Frandsen Bank & Trust in Braham, this week announced the promotion of two key staff members into new positions. Kelby Jennissen has been promoted to the position of vice president and business/ag banker, and Rhea Hirsch is assuming the position of residential real estate officer. “For the past threeand-a-half years, Kelby has done an exceptional job on the real estate side of our bank,” Zeltinger said. “This is an important piece to our office’s success, and now as Kelby transitions to business Kelby Jennissen and agricultural lending, we feel our personal banker Rhea Hirsch is the perfect fit to continue our mortgage lending success.” Kelby Jennissen has been a mortgage lender with Frandsen Bank for three-and-a-half years. “The best part about banking is building relationships with those in your community,” he said. “I have been very fortunate to work with some great individuals in my years with residential real estate. It is exciting to continue to develop your career, and I am thankful that I work for a company that promotes that growth. I am looking forward to building new relationships and helping local farmers and business owners with their financial needs.” Jennissen grew up in Alexandria and graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead with a degree in accounting and business. He worked at a bank in Fargo for three years before moving to Cambridge in 2015 with his wife, Kirsten, a Cambridge native. She is a physician’s assistant at Allina Health Cambridge Clinic. They have a nine-month-old son, Caleb. Rhea Hirsch is a Braham native who has been with Frandsen Bank for four-and-a-half years, starting as a credit analyst and later moving into the position of personal banking officer. Over those four years with Frandsen Bank she has divided her time between the Braham and Pine City offices, but starting Oct. 1 she will be exclusively in Braham. Rhea Hirsch “Banking allows me to really help people financially on a one-on-one basis, and small-town banking allows me to do that face-to-face,” Hirsch said. She cites sharing things with her customers like first car purchases, home renovations and rewarding recreational purchases as a favorite part of her job. “Moving into residential real estate lending,” she said, “I’ll be there for the biggest purchase in most people’s lives – their homes – and I can’t wait to share in that excitement with them too. Being able to do this in the community where I grew up is the icing on the cake.” Hirsch attended Anoka-Ramsey Community College and Bemidji State University, receiving a degree in accounting. She and her husband, Keith, both grew up in Braham and have been a part of the community all their lives. They have three boys, ages nine, seven and two, who keep them very busy. Frandsen Bank & Trust is a full-service community bank with offices in over 30 communities throughout Minnesota and border communities in Wisconsin and North Dakota.

LEVY: Council tables action on possible franchise fees until after November election FROM PAGE I
an Assistant City Administrator, as had been planned, but rather hire an administrative assistant for the city administrator. This change would save the city $39,000. Moe noted these changes enabled her to get the levy down to the council’s requested amount. However, there is also the possibility it could go even lower once the final levy is approved in December. “The preliminary levy sets the ceiling that we can adopt for a tax levy,” Moe said. “We can’t exceed that amount, unless there are special circumstances. We hope to set the preliminary levy at 2 percent, with hopes the final levy will be even lower than that. That is what we have done for a number of years. This is a work in progress.” Moe also stated there is an informational program on the city’s website called “Balancing Act.” With that pro-
gram, residents can see the proposed budget for different city programs such as police, administrative or parks and recreation, and they can digitally change the budget amount to see how it would impact the overall levy. They can also leave comments and save their changes as recommendations for the budget. “Not only can (residents) comment on that site, but they can also get a receipt where they can get a better understanding of ‘what does my city taxes go for,’” Moe said. FUTURE FINANCIAL OPTIONS Besides the current budget, Moe said she has been working on potential future levies. Included in that is research requested by the council into the possibility of enacting franchise fees for either gas or electricity. A franchise fee is a charge collected by a utility provider on behalf of a governmental entity because providers
utilize public rights-of-way to deliver their services. Moe said the city already has a franchise agreement with Centerpoint Energy that would allow the city to charge fees through them. All the city would have to do is give Centerpoint Energy 90 days notice. For East Central Energy, since North Branch recently negotiated a franchise agreement with ECE, Cambridge could use that agreement as a template, but it would still take several additional months before the city could collect fees on electricity. Moe said the estimated revenue from a $3 fee on either of those utilities could be approximately $90,000 a year. This could result in a nearly 2 percent decrease in the levy. While the council agreed franchise fees might be a viable option to help reduce the levy, the council was split as to if or when they should impose franchise fees.
“I’d rather have a franchise fee come in now, and then if the (sales tax) referendum succeeds, we could apply the fees to future debt,” council member Joe Morin said. “And if we’re looking at future staffing changes or additions, that can help absorb all this. It just makes sense.” On the flip side, council member Jim Godfrey said he would prefer to wait. “I’d rather wait until we have more concrete numbers so that we will know what the overall impact would be,” Godfrey said. “We wouldn’t be in a crisis mode if the sales tax doesn’t pass,” said council member Lisa Iverson. “We’ll be okay until we get a franchise fee going.” After a lengthy discussion, Godfrey made a motion to table any franchise fee discussion until at least November, along with approving the levy increase. That motion passed 3-2, with Iverson and Morin voting no.

Types of firepits for your backyard oasis Outdoor entertaining areas are popular and firepits are one of the most sought-after additions to such spaces. Various styles are available to homeowners who want to add firepits to their backyards, and choosing the right type may come down to budget, yard space or personal preference. • Wood firepit: Wood firepits burn wood, they don’t require tapping into gas lines. Wood firepits are generally easy to set up and install, and many prefer the appeal of crackling wood and flames that’s synonymous with wood firepits. • Gas firepit: Gas firepits are convenient, they don’t require wood to build fires. Connect to a gas source, they provide fire at the click of a switch. Gas firepits are
appreciated for their safety, there is little risk that flames will grow too large and become difficult to control. • Gas fire tables: Gas fire tables might be ideal for those who favor more modern looks. Gas fire tables come in a variety of shapes and sizes and, like gas firepits, there’s no need to light a fire or carry firewood.
and ambiance without taking up space. Tabletop firepits fueled by gas will not need to be connected to a gas source, they are simple and small.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 If you want to get out and see the sights, you have to plan an excursion, Aries. Start planning a vacation and don’t forget to invite a pal along for the trip.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, indecisiveness may cost you in the days ahead. Try to come to a decision on an important situation so you can begin moving forward once again.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Do not be quick to accept the word “no,” Taurus. If you are seeking a promotion, it may take another round of negotiations to sell your position to a supervisor.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Sometimes you don’t see the purpose behind certain actions, Scorpio. Don’t hesitate to ask questions to clear things up. Forge ahead and things will become clearer.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, some things are at play and you may need to gather some facts. Don’t try to piece things together, but rather start at the beginning and get a comprehensive view.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sooner or later, if you try different things you are bound to stumble on the right course of action, Sagittarius. It just may take longer than you initially expected.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 You have to hunker down and work through tasks that hold little interest for you, Cancer. Success comes from tending to all of the details, even those that are less interesting.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Don’t worry if you cannot get your act together just yet, Capricorn. You will find your groove soon enough and everything will ultimately fall in place.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Plenty of opportunities to make big changes are on the horizon, Leo. You need to figure out what it is you want to do with yourself and where to make change.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Some things can’t be avoided forever, Aquarius. If you feel like you are running away from problems or things you don’t like, you may need to confront them.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, sit quietly aside and let others talk while you listen. Listening can be a great way to learn about others as well as yourself. Use this time wisely.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Funny things happen when you least expect them, Pisces. Just when you may have thought a situation was dire, some fun will change your opinion.

Isanti City Council commended Economic Development Director Sean Sullivan at the Aug. 21 council meeting for his service to the community. Sullivan has resigned his position with the city and will be returning to the city of Ramsey after eight-and-a-half years with Isanti. In his years as economic development director, Sullivan assisted in reaching many of the city of Isanti’s goals, including the development of a pharmacy, a clinic and a hotel. He also assisted the city with “about 1,000 other things that we have done,” said mayor George Wimmer. The city also won a second award from the Economic Development Association for business improvement under Sullivan’s guidance. “We’ve really put together a good economic development team here with Sean, Ryan (Kernosky) and myself,” Wimmer said. “Sean has done a great deal for us

MEMORIALS WITH INNOVATION AND DISTINCTION
cil, city of Isanti, hereby recognize Sean Sullivan for exemplary service to the city of Isanti from March 3, 2010, through Aug. 24, 2018, serving in the position of economic development director. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the city of Isanti and its residents.”
WATER AND SEWER LINE SERVICE PLACEMENT ORDINANCE CHANGE The council approved an ordinance amendment regarding water and sewer line placement. Wimmer explained the amendment was to ensure that sewer and water lines were not placed under driveways, so if a repair were needed the city would not be replacing a driveway as well as repairing a water or sewer line. Council Member Paul Bergley asked for clarification regarding installing and repairing water and sewer lines. Wimmer stated that the builder installs water and sewer lines, and the city is responsible for repairs from the street up to the valve that is in the home’s front yard – the homeowners are responsible for repairs from the valve to the home. Over time, a number of the valves have been placed in driveways, he noted. If the city has to repair something on its side of the valve, the driveway has to be torn up and it is costly to replace.

During my time on the board, some of the things the district has done are: reinstated marching band, established a robotics program, gone to every-day, all-day kindergarten, installed security doors on every school building and reviewed almost every school board policy to align with the MSBA policies. I have served as school district clerk, on the Community Education Advisory Board, Dollars for Scholars, LongRange Planning, Meet and Confer, Adopt-A-School, ICICLE and the HR committee.

Canada running for North Branch mayor CONTRIBUTED ROBERT CANADA CAMPAIGN
My fellow North Branch residents, I’m Robert Canada and I’m asking for your vote to serve you as the next mayor of North Branch. North Branch is a land of opportunity if we “ “Grow Smart.” While serving on t council for the last four years, the I I’ve learned that “WE” can do bett ter. That’s why I am running for t office of mayor. I have focused the a listened to you, the residents and a businesses of North Branch. and To “Grow Smart,” I will cont tinue to promote a strong public s safety presence. We need to Robert Canada develop housing opportunities for all people. We need to create a strong workforce right here in North Branch. I strongly support the private sector development for residents and businesses, including a necessity for access to high-speed internet. As a council member, I have a proven voting history of limiting the out-of-control property tax increases. I, too, want good roads and made the recommendation that the franchise fees sunset after six years until the city’s cash position improved because of bond debt repayment, and money be redirected toward the roads. I was out-voted and instead a 20-year franchise fee was approved and recently implemented. I believe the city’s budget should be to pay down debt while allowing for opportunities to support housing and economic growth. The budget is your money, and it must be spent wisely. We, as a city, must be fiscally responsible in all budgeting matters. I will bring a “Common Sense” approach to budgeting and spending and will maintain that standard. I have the experience and attitude to lead North Branch in all facets. It will be my honor to represent you as mayor, and I look forward to meeting you in the near future. Please contact me at Canada4NorthBranchMayor.com or 651-895-0602.

FALL SPORTS SOUNDBITES BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
VIKING VOLLEYBALL North Branch, which was rated #1 in Class AA in the preseason poll, started their season living up to their ranking. The Vikings swept both of their matches last week 3-0, topping first Clencoe-Silver Lake 25-20,25-19, 25-21 and then beating Grand Rapids 25-16, 25-18, 25-16. Top attacker Cianna Selbitschka appears to be back in form after rehabbing knee surgery after injuring herself playing basketball last December. The junior collected 29 kills in the two matches. North Branch appears to be going with a double-setter attack this year. Junior Haley Hadrava collected a total of 27 assists and Paige Sheehan, who moved from Cambridge-Isanti to North Branch, added 22 assists. BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR
Sophie Smith makes contact with the ball on a wide shot during her first singles match against Duluth Denfeld at the Cambridge-Isanti High School courts on Thursday, Aug. 23. So far in the early season, Smith is 4-2 in her singles matches, with the team earning a 3-3 record.
VIKING GIRLS SOCCER The Vikings got off to a rough start to their season, falling to Esko 5-0 in their first game of the season on Thursday, Aug. 23.
VIKING BOYS SOCCER North Branch got a very satisfying victory in their season opener, collecting a 2-1 win over Proctor. After a scoreless first half, the Vikings got an early goal by Harry Toussaint in the second half. The Rails quickly tied it up, but the Vikings earned the victory on a penalty shot by Jose Flor. The Vikings followed that up with another close win, this time by a score of 1-0 over Legacy Christian Academy. VIKING GIRLS TENNIS A young Viking squad has gotten off to a decent start, going 3-1 last week. North Branch picked up 6-1 and 5-2 wins over Duluth Denfeld and Fridley, but fell 5-2 to Osseo during the Viking quad, held in Cambridge. The team followed that up with a close 4-3 win over Mora on Tuesday, Aug. 28. Leading the team so far is Maiya Vokman, who is undefeated at 4-0 in singles competition. Sophie Smith is also having a solid start to her singles season, going 4-2 so
far, with both losses coming in three-set matches. BLUEJACKET BOYS SOCCER The Jackets have had a rough start to their season, getting shut out twice. In their season opener, Becker topped C-I 1-0. Proctor also blanked the Jackets 3-0. C-I’s game against Rockford was postponed due to thunderstorms. BLUEJACKET GIRLS SOCCER On the flip side of the coin, the C-I girls soccer team blanked Proctor 1-0 in their only action of the season so far. Just like the boys, the girls’ game against Rockford was postponed. BLUEJACKET GIRLS TENNIS C-I has had a good start to their season, winning two more matches last week. The Jackets topped Andover 5-2 and Cloquet 7-0 during the Andover triangular. The other action of the week saw the Jackets head to the Delano individual tournament. There, the team of Lauren Kindem and Maddie Pynes took third place at first doubles.
Jacket football coach resigns BY BILL STICKELS III EDITOR@COUNTYSTAR.COM
Before a single official snap has been made, the Bluejacket football team has found itself having to again fill the head football coaching position. On Wednesday, Aug. 29, just two days before C-I will meet Sartell in their season opener, Activities Director Mark Solberg announced that Dave Frisell has unexpectedly stepped down. “Dave Frisell has resigned as head coach of our Bluejacket football program due to personal family matters,” Solberg said via a press release. “We understand this decision and wish the Frisell family the best.” Frisell was hired as head coach back in July after coach Mike Hennen left to take the activities director job at Forest Lake. Had Frisell stayed, he would have been the first head football coach hired from outside
the program since Hall of Fame coach George Larson was hired in 1958. To fill the coaching void, Solberg announced that Shane Weibel will take over as interim head coach for the 2018 season. Weibel was slated to be the offensive coordinator this season. Prior to that, Weibel coached the offensive line coach with the Jackets. Joe Lakeberg, who is entering his second year with the Jackets, will serve as the interim assistant coach. Despite this last-minute shakeup, Solberg is confident the team will not suffer any setbacks this season. “We have a tremendous coaching staff supporting the program which will help make the transition as seamless as possible,” Solberg said. “We are grateful to have an excellent team of coaches and student-athletes and we look forward to a positive season.”
‘You’re killing me, smallies’ BY STEVE CARNEY NEWS@COUNTYSTAR.COM
It seems that the smallmouth bass has become one of the most prolific species in Minnesota, as I am finding this fish appear in many lakes that never had a smallmouth reputation. They are prolific and reproduce at an accelerated rate. Here are some of my favorite presentations for smallmouth bass. These fish are so aggressive they will strike just about anything moving. JIG N CRAWLER This is my “go to” presentation most of the time on the water. I prefer a very small, 1/16th-ounce jighead with a long wire hook. I adorn this jig with a lively night crawler, which I hook through the very tip of the crawler. Always make sure
you hook the crawler dead center in the nose to avoid line twist. Drag this crawler/jig setup well behind the boat and give it an occasional lift and drop. When you feel a pick up, let some line out and wait three seconds. If you are experiencing lots of panfish bites, switch over to a lively leech. MARIBOU JIG The maribou jig has been lost to the decades, and you rarely see these anymore. I have used hair jigs exclusively the past two seasons, and they are wonderful in catching all species. Black is my favorite color, and I also prefer a very small, 1/16th-ounce size. This light jig sinks slowly and rarely gets hung up. No need to use any live bait whatsoever.
You can pitch this jig shallow and work it back to the boat. I have caught more walleyes as well as smallmouth bass on this maribou than any other bait this season. If you ever watched the action of the maribou jig underwater, you’d be a believer. PREMIER SMALLMOUTH WATER If it’s smallmouth you want to target, get set, as there are a ton of smallmouth bass lakes with thriving populations. Lakes such as Locke along Highway 94, Buffalo Lake in Buffalo, Knife Lake near Mora and, of course, the premier lake, Mille Lacs. It seems smallmouth are popping up all over the Midwest, so seeking out smallies is no big deal – they are everywhere.

Have a nice trip, see you next fall North Branch’s Max Johnson gets sent flying by a hard sliding tackle by a Proctor player during the Vikings’ 2-1 win over the Rails. Johnson’s hard landing on the play would result in him having to go through concussion protocol on the sidelines and knocking him out of the rest of the game.

Letting it fly: Isanti County hosts first pro disc golf tournament
BILL STICKELS III | COUNTY STAR
Tyler Hermanson “putts” from the brush during one of the holes. Unlike regular golf, disc golfers don’t get relief for “unplayable lies.” They must make their next shot from exactly where the disc lands, even if it’s in thick brush, behind or under trees, or even in water, as long as it’s not too deep.

Chris Hall launches a drive on the opening hole of the “Springvale Showdown” on Saturday, Aug. 25, at Springvale County Park. The tournament, put on by the Professional Disc Golf Association, featured 30 participants taking on a challenging course, with prize money awarded to the top finishers in six categories. Hall would take first in the open division, which featured the top-skilled competitors. This was the first time a pro tournament has been held in the area. According to organizers, the players ranked the course very highly, and there is a good chance other tournaments will be held there.

What will be the keys to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success this year? Every year our most important key is learning to play in new roles after losing players to graduation. This season five of our 10 starting varsity players will be new to varsity-level tennis.
What challenges will the team face? Athletes learning to adjust to new roles on the team and being willing to accept role and lineup changes will be the biggest challenges for this squad. Each and every member of the varsity and the junior varsity will have to work incredibly hard to improve skills, strategies and movement. They are going to have to push each other to improve on the courts.
What are your goals for the 2018 season? Our goals are to grow as individual tennis players, to grow as people of character, and to grow as a unified team. If we can accomplish those goals, we will be well on the way to finding success as a team. Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be watching to see Sophie Smith at 1st singles and how she grows into the position as a 10th grader, and how Amanda Scarborough and Rachel Wurdemann work together for the first time at 1st doubles.
What will be the keys to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success this year? We have a very young team with a lot of new players to varsity. The key to success for us will be how quickly they grow into new positions and learn to battle at this level.
What challenges will the team
face? Everyone on this team is either new to varsity or new to the position in the line-up that they are playing, in many cases jumping several spots. The challenges will be getting used to competition at a new level and growing throughout the season.
What are your goals for the 2018 season? As a young team, our team goals are to continue to improve and develop all the players to compete at a high level. With most of the varsity team being sophomores and freshmen, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building a foundation to compete not only this year but for years to come.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? We have a tough conference and section, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been going against these teams for several years now and enjoy the competition and relationships weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built with the other teams.

This will be their third year with me, and I am excited to watch them succeed in their final year at North Branch before they go off to college.

cess this year is simply to stay positive. We are looking at having possibly the best outcome of numbers the program has had in a while, and with that being said, this may be the best team in terms of ability and atmosphere we have had at North Branch in a long time. We are super excited to get the ball rolling. The past few seasons have been a great turnaround in the structure of the program and now that we have a good foundation, we can start building our program to
What are your goals for the 2018 season? One of the goals for this season is to have a home game for our first section play-off game. Another goal for our program to is make sure no one is excluded throughout the season in any aspect of this program. We, as coaches, stress a lot about what it means to be a part of this program and what it means to be family. A goal that I would like to set is that we win a conference game this year as that would be a huge boost in confidence, and we look forward to competing against every team we play no matter what.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? I think every opponent we play is someone to watch for. Last year we played a few opponents that statistically we should have beat, but we ended up losing. There is definitely a learning piece to that, and we don’t want to overlook anyone this year.
BLUEJACKET BOYS SOCCER Head coach: Joe Kassa Assistant coaches: Peiwu Daniels What was last year’s regular-season record, conference record, and finish in the conference/sections? Regular season: 3-10-1; conference record: 2-6-1; conference standing: 7th place; section standing: 8th place Who are the players to watch this year? Our defense and goal-keeping in past years has been our strength and will be again this year. What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? A big key to the team’s success this year will depend on our ability to control the pace of the game and put continuous pressure on the opponents defense.
What challenges will the team face? As in years past, we are a younger squad which is always a challenge; however, much of the team are returning players so we will rely heavily on their chemistry to maintain possession and push the pace. What are your goals for the 2018 season? Our big team goal this year is to have a home sections game. Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? Monticello is a big and physical team, which will be a tough match-up in our conference. Our section is full of very good teams, and you can’t look past any of them.

BLUEJACKET GIRLS SOCCER Head coach: Michael Galligan Assistant coaches: Bob Benes, Calvin Thomp-
son, Liz Bruder
What was last year’s regular-season record?
2-14
Who are the players to watch this year? Maddy Skelton will lead the offensive attack with support from sophomore Cierra Karels and junior Alexa Sutherland. Freshman Jenna Hari will generate the playmaking from the center. Sophomore Jordan Hillstrom and junior AnnaGrace Nelson will provide some danger with their big crossing passes. Junior McKenna Murray will anchor the defense with support from senior Alexis Aljets. Look for significant newcomer contribution from eighth grade standouts Mariah Martin at defense and Emma Knack in goal. What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? We have good speed and balance in the
attack and defenders with a lot of tenacity. What challenges will the team face? With a lot of new faces on the varsity, we will need to build chemistry and tactical organization very fast. What are your goals for the 2018 season? Work hard to improve and move up in the conference standings. Advance in the section tournament. Never give up on each other.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? STMA will be looking
for a conference championship; Blaine and Andover are tough opponents in the section.

North Branch girls soccer: (Front row from left) Paris Kopp, Hailey Hammond, Megan Honrud, Lilly Johnson, Sydney Schroeder. (Middle row) Laura Anderson, Chloe Kopp, Kendra Geary, Kayla Allison, Leah Romo, Chloe Goebel. (Back row) Emma Mohs, Sylvia Linkert, Paige Bauer, Abby Johnson, Hailey Maurer, Emmie Meyer.
Kopp are both key players with experience and skill playing at a high level. Their work ethic and competitiveness on the field, as well as their academic, social and community service, are models for all our young players. Senior goalkeeper Abby Johnson and junior goalkeeper Emma Mohs bring a lot of keeper experience and are both very talented with slightly different skill sets. Abby is another who has provided a great example of leadership and a model for our program. Sophomore Sylvia Linkert brings a lot of athleticism and potential for a breakout year at a young age. Freshman Emmie Meyer is another with a lot of athleticism and skill. Her size and competitiveness are ahead of typical freshmen, and she could potentially have a large positive impact on the team.
What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? As we transition with a new coach, implementation of a
new culture, and with our youth and inexperience, we are seeking continuous improvement in our standard of play as make our way through the season. Our main key throughout the season is understanding the work that it will take to continually improve. The sooner we understand that as a team, the sooner our standard of play will reach the point we expect. We will need to learn and adapt quickly.
What challenges will the team face? Inexperience and youth will be our greatest challenge this year. The program graduated 10 seniors with the majority as starters or playing a significant role on varsity.
What are your goals for the 2018 season? Our main goal for the program is
for everyone to understand the culture and the expectations it takes to be a successful 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? In the conference, St. Michael-Albertville is always tough and will be strong again this year. In the section, Cloquet returns a lot of experience and the state’s leading goal scorer.

a whole will need to put the importance on taking care of the little things in all aspect of our play! As we usher in a new offensive philosophy, our offensive line play will hold the key to our success, and we will rely heavily on them to provide opportunities for our backs to make plays. Defensively, we
will look to be simplistic yet aggressive in hopes to allow our defense to play fast. We will look for consistency with our special teams and use this aspect of the game to establish strong field position.
What challenges will the team face? This year we will be asking many underclassmen to step up and create that depth we need. We certainly believe they can do so!
What are your goals for the 2018 season? Continue to work towards being competitive in our district and section play, and work towards developing the entire student athlete.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section?
The district is strong and very competitive! All teams certainly have a chance. Cloquet, with last year’s success, certainly have earned the right to be this year’s favorite. We are certainly working to be in the mix again this year.

What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? We are very

to be able to fill roles to help keep everyone fresh. If we stay healthy and develop some underclassmen, we feel good about our team.
What challenges will the team face? We are thin in some key spots and need to keep key players healthy. If we lose a key player or two, our depth concerns will be exposed. We also play a very challenging schedule that will keep us focused every week on playing our best game.
What are your goals for the 2018 season? Keep all of our players healthy, improve each week and do our best every time we step on the field. The rest will take care of itself.
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? Conference will be Elk River and Andover. Section will be Andover and St. Francis.

state entrant and two-time All-Conference runner Dylan Larson. He will be pushed and challenged by a number of other runners though. Those include Henry Abraham, Calixto Larson, Jaxon Jones, Jack Hennen, Nathan Schibilla, Trent Viesselman, Gavin Hajek and young Cal Droubie. As with the girls, though, the list for potential varsity runners is much longer than this. A lot will be learned in the next couple of weeks for both squads.
What will be the keys to the team’s success this year? Grouping our runners, creating less of a spread of time between our first and
seventh runners.
What challenges will the team face? The challenge is always to be able to run at our highest abilities the last three weeks of the season!
What are your goals for the 2018 season? Both squads are looking to improve on their 2017 performances. The guys would like to crack the top three in the conference. Top six finishes for both squads at the section meet would be great!
Who is the opponent to watch for this year in the conference/section? After a very exciting 2-point difference between Buffalo and STMA last season at the conference meet, 2018 looks to be another close one between those two squads. After those two teams, it is going to be WIDE open. A goal for the Bluejackets would be to crack the top three. In 7AA, Forest Lake and Cloquet both return good squads but are by no means shoe-ins for the state meet.

Numbers are down a little from last year, but we have a dedicated crew that will be pushed to be their best this year. After a week of training, the team headed out for the 10th annual cross country campout at William O’Brien State Park.
