A dream world of magic awaits through ‘Wardrobe’ BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM
Heroes will rise, magical animals will speak and the bonds of family will be tested in the Pine City High School Auditorium this weekend as the drama department presents “The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe.” The story is based on the classic fantasy novel for children written by
C.S. Lewis, and was also turned into a animated movie in 1979, a TV series in the late 1980s, and was made a live-action film in 2005. Director Becky Schueller described the play as, “One hour of quick entertainment. “These guys have been working really hard,” Schueller said. “It’ll just be a fun,

A thirst to understand his Ojibwe heritage and a passion for reporting local news have landed a Pine City native the assignment of his dreams. Chris Aadland, a 2009 Pine City High School graduate, was recently selected to serve as a Report for America (RFA) corps member. A national service program, RFA places talented emerging journalists into local news organizations to report on under-covered issues and communities. Aadland, son of Ralph Aadland and Denise Fedder, will spend the next year, possibly two, covering Native American issues for the Star-Tribune in Casper, Wyoming. He was one of 50 journalists chosen from among nearly 1,000 applicants in a highly competitive national competition. “Surprised, shocked, really hap-

I’ve been thinking a lot about folktales this past week. Part of this might have to do with the fact that the Pine City High School drama department is performing “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” this weekend, and the Heritage Players are getting set to produce “Into the Woods” this summer in the Pine City Auditorium. That is a heck of a show. Part of it, too, is that the eighth and last season of “Game of Thrones” just ended. Back when I was a kid, books and movies about dragons, knights and magic were pretty geeky stuff. But for a while this spring, this crazy fantasy show was the biggest thing in the world. I had friends telling me about “Game of Thrones” for the past few years, but for whatever reason I never got into it. But Editor’s then, this last winter I had the chance to watch a couple of episodes. They were Soapbox pretty good. So I watched a couple more. And then a couple more. Mike And then they had me. I didn’t realize how bad it was until I was watching the Gainor show on my phone whenever I had a few minutes to spare. Who does that? For those of you who haven’t watched the show – well, there are dragons, knights and magic – but there are also mind-bending plot twists, excellent performances and some truly thrilling moments. And ice zombies. Pretty dang scary ice zombies. Some long-running shows deliver a classic, thrilling finale that make you want to watch the whole series over again from the beginning. Unfortunately, the last few episodes of “Game of Thrones” were some of the weakest in the series, with one of the good guys becoming a bad guy for no good reason and ... well, I could go on, but I don’t want to ruin it for anyone who hasn’t seen it. And it’s like watching an Olympic gymnast who has a fantastic performance, but then stumbles in the landing. It’s still awfully impressive – it’s just not perfect. One thing any fan of the show will tell is it can get pretty dark. Some folks are surprised by this, but they probably shouldn’t be. Folktales and fairytales have

always had a dark side. For instance, in the original Cinderella story, the two mean stepsisters have their eyes poked out by birds at the end. And that’s hardly the worst of it. The other day I came across one of the original illustrations from the 1812 edition of The Brothers Grimm, and it showed a scene from a story called “The Godfather” of a man running down a stairway with a pile of decapitated human heads behind him and a devil laughing at him. Honestly, it was pretty gruesome – especially for something we usually consider to be children’s stories. Well, I suppose it’s like the old saying: “The truth ain’t always pretty, but it’s true.” Stories aren’t always about the nicest things that happen, and even the darker folktales get told and retold again and again. But at their best, stories are a way of helping us find our place in the real world and giving us some advice for making our way through it. I was reading one of our sister newspapers the other day, the Osceola Sun, and came across an editorial by Suzanne Lindgren who was talking about, of all things, folklore – specifically, the Norse tales, and the fact that Odin had two ravens, Huginn and Munninn, whose names meant “thought” and “memory.” Every day they would go out, see the world, and report back to Odin. “News, it turns out, is a very old concept,” Lindgren wrote. “What’s more, historians and anthropologists have found that the basic idea of news is consistent from culture to culture, from place to place.” She quotes from the book, “The Elements of Journalism,” which states “Being aware of events we cannot see for ourselves engenders a sense of security, control and confidence.” “Even Odin, who’d given his eye in a successful quest for wisdom, knew he could not lead the gods without the news of the day.” Well, that’s true for us too here at the Pioneer. We do our best to report on the good and bad in our community, but we couldn’t do it without community members calling or emailing us to tell us when there’s something going on we should know about.

ADHD can be a family struggle BY KATIE KARAS THERAPEUTIC SERVICES AGENCY, INC
From toddlers to teenagers, from adults to the elderly, similar symptomology can be found in Attention Deficit/ Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). For some, ADHD is diagnosed as young as four years of age. And for others, it may be diagnosed in one’s later years of life. No matter the age, the best management strategies of ADHD are multifaceted approaches that blend the physical, emotional and environmental context of the individual and their family. For one individual with ADHD, this ideal combination may include medication, diet, exercise and behavioral therapy. For another, it may mean practicing mindfulness, and spending lots of time outdoors in nature. And for a third, it might include medication, mindfulness and mental health therapy. Finding the right treatments for each family member takes time, organization and dedication to your family model. Early on, talk with your medical and mental health providers about your family choices. If you use medication, speak with the prescribing doctor about his or her expertise with complementary treatment options. If you choose not to give yourself or child medication, find a professional who specializes in the types of treatments you want to use to minimize the ADHD symptoms of each family member. ADHD TREATMENT WITH MEDICATION Medication is often the first line of defense against the symptoms of ADHD for one simple reason: studies show it to be most effective Though broadly effective, medication is not an easy answer. Before pursuing treatment with medication, parents and family should consider the following: • Finding the right medication, dosage, and schedule can take months. • Every medication has side effects for some individuals. Balancing those with the positive effects of medication is a trial-and-error process. It will take time for each individual to find the optimal medication and dosage with minimal or zero side effects. • To get the most out of medication, you must communicate with the prescribing doctor and follow his or her advice, especially during the initial phase of starting medication. This communication is needed to adjust dosage and control side effects in a timely manner. • Medication isn’t a magic bullet. It helps manage some ADHD symptoms, but it does not cure the disorder. ADHD BEHAVIOR THERAPIES Medicine alone is not enough treatment for most individuals with ADHD. This is especially true for children and adolescents. Behavior therapy addresses specific behavioral, emotional or social struggles by teaching the individual how to structure their time, establish predictability and routines, and increase positive outcomes. Behavior therapy can help change behavior through conditioning, which involves
the following: • Creating an environment conducive to suitable behavior. • Providing positive feedback and reinforcement for acceptable behavior and improvement. • Establishing clear consequences for unwanted behavior, which may entail withholding reward/praise, or enforcing negative consequences. • Being consistent about expectations and consequences, both positive and negative. Cognitive Behavioral Family Therapy is often used in combination with medication and individual therapy, and is implemented by a family therapist who works with the entire family to pinpoint family struggles and develop team strategies for changing them. ADHD ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS Some families choose to manage either their child’s and their own symptoms — in whole or in combination with medication and behavior therapies — through diet, nature and physical activity such as exercise, meditation or yoga. • Adhering to a more “Mediterranean diet” which is rich in fruit, vegetables, and rice while lean in processed foods, sugar and saturated fat — may decrease some of the mood swings and hyper behaviors associated with ADHD. • A 2015 study published in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology found that 30 minutes of exercise before school or work can help individuals with ADHD focus and manage moods. Walking for 30 minutes, four times a week, is enough exercise to yield benefits. • A daily dose of nature — a walk in the woods, park or spending time on a lake — may reduce ADHD symptoms in both adults and children. This was solidified in a 2004 study where researchers found that “green outdoor activities reduced symptoms significantly more than did activities conducted in other settings.” • Mindful awareness, or mindfulness, involves paying close attention to your thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations; in other words, developing a greater awareness of what’s going on with you from moment to moment. A 2005 study at Arizona State University found that children with ADHD who participated in mindfulness exercises had lower test anxiety and fewer ADHD symptoms, plus greater attention than kids who did not participate in the exercises. • Yoga, a physical and spiritual practice originating in India, provides similar benefits to mindfulness practice and meditation, reducing anxiety while increasing energy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bird vigil
Free entertainment
I thought I would get a lot done today, but such was not to be— you see, the birds have arrived commanding my undivided attention.
To the Editor: Late spring and early summer provide an opportunity for enjoyment at no cost. The migration of birds through our area can be fun. I have friends that are staunch bird watchers. They get excited when a rare variety is discovered. A couple of years ago we joined that group. Just sitting in our living room and looking out a window we are amazed at the wide variety that pass through. Some are very plain, but many are so brilliant that identification is easy. Our bird book is always at hand for quick reference. If you are looking for a free hobby, try birdwatching.
Four male orioles hog the liquid feeder, their females dart in now and then. Two indigo buntings, gleaming in the sun, peck around in the grass, showing off. At least eight yellow finches vie for space at their feeder, scattering when the bluejay soars in, give way to the rose-breasted grosbeak. Ah, the cardinals arrive mid-day And again as dusk comes down. The mourning doves slowly meander two by two, staying close to one another. Gazing out my south windows, I see the bluebirds have found their houses, and there’s a robin, or two or three, pulling worms out in the front yard. I put the hummingbird feeder out just in time—two of those arrived today. I heard the glorious warble of Mama Wren, but she’s too shy to show herself. My other work can wait—today I’m busy welcoming the birds. Margaret Marty Rock Creek

10 Years Ago, 2009 Austin Cavallin and James Pixley, sixth graders from Pine City Elementary, started a petition at the school to prevent the closure of the fur post. They received a house resolution that states that they took an active part in their community by circulating this petition. They got 250 signatures for the petition which they hope will keep the fur post open so others can learn about history. The letter ends with the committee members thanking the boys for their efforts.

This is the second consecutive year that the magazine has chosen to feature some aspect of Mansavage’s garden. Editor Lynn M. Steiner visited Aggie two years ago and wrote to her recently, “I still consider it (her garden) to be one of the most beautiful gardens I have seen.” The cover photo shows Mansavage’s bright orange Oriental poppies.

Dragon graduation rates rise BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM
Pine City High School graduation rates were way above the Minnesota average in 2018. The graduation rates for Minnesota students rose to 83.2% in 2018, the state’s highest graduation rate on record, according to the Minnesota Department of Education. But Pine City Public Schools surpassed that number, with a graduation rate of 91.41% for the class of 2018. This is, in fact, part of a dramatic rise in Pine City graduation rates in recent years, according to Pine City Schools Superintendent Annette Freiheit. “It’s all about the simple things that we’re doing – building the relationships with the kids, having an adult that cares about them that they know is going to be after them to keep them on track,” Freiheit said. The district-wide graduation rate increased from 76.50%in 2013 to 91.41% in 2018. Pine City High School improved their graduation rate from 76.70% in 2013 to 97.25% in 2018. The Pine City Alternative Learning Center improved from 35.30% to 73.33% over the same time frame. Freiheit said the positive trend can be attributed to a few factors for both the high school and Area Learning Center. She also said the student teacher relationships have been a focus for many years, and that the “World’s Best Workforce” initiative – has brought attention to student needs in this area. “Back in 2013 we didn’t have that college readiness piece to it,” she said. “That has come about because of the ‘World’s Best Workforce.’ One of the five pillars is are all students ready for graduation and college and career readiness planning is one of the other pillars. Eric Wicktor is the ninth grade social studies teacher. He has an entire quarter built on college and career readiness. Then we’re looking at 10th, 11th and 12th grades, and they have to have a plan in place to graduate. I think that has been a huge piece. “We’ve also strengthened up our career in college readiness planning so kids are thinking about graduation, and what are their plans afterwards – whether it’s work, military, technical school, college – whatever it might be,” she said. “And we’re continuing to beef that up so we’re looking at other options ... particularly junior and senior year.” She also noted that the ALC has moved from nineweek to six-week terms, and said the shorter terms allow less time for students to fall behind. The ALC
staff will be adding advisory periods to meet with students to discuss current and future planning in the 2019-2020 school year. Students tend to fall behind less often in this model. Hence, graduation rates have improved. Freiheit said that Pine City schools have been considering adopting an academy system, but that it may not be the right fit.
“We’ve been reviewing that and looking at it,” she said. “I think what we’re finding is, it’s probably a little too restrictive. When we look at the market for what our kids could do for jobs here in Pine County, 80% of the jobs require a high school degree.”
Frieheit resigns, search begins for new superintendent BY MIKE GAINOR EDITOR@PINECITYMN.COM
Pine City Schools Superintendent Annette Freiheit has taken the superintendent position with Winona Area Public Schools and has resigned her position in Pine City. Freiheit, who grew up in southern Minnesota and went to school at Winona State University, said she is taking the position in order to be closer to her family. “I will miss Pine City and all of its wonderful people,” Freiheit said. At a special meeting on May 28, the Pine City School Board accepted Freiheit’s resignation and made plans to fill her position. Board members discussed whether the position should be filled by an interim superintendent, or if the school district should attempt to find a permanent replacement. They said that both internal and external candidates were interested in the interim position.

Beware scammers posing as Social Security Administration BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU
Clever scammers have been playing on people’s fears lately with phone calls impersonating the Social Security Administration, leading the Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota and the Federal Trade Commission to warn people about these suspicious calls. According to the FTC’s latest Consumer Protection Data Spotlight, the FTC has seen a major increase in reports of scammers telling people their Social Security numbers are connected to a crime and their bank accounts may be frozen or seized. “The callers also try to get people to reveal their Social Security numbers by falsely claiming they have been suspended,” the FTC reports. “This is a scam. The Social Security Administration will not suspend your Social Security number, nor will it direct you to withdraw money from your bank account.” The scam is running so rampant, the FTC received more than 76,000 reports of it from April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 – and that’s just the people who chose to report the calls. In the past two months alone, the FTC has received 36,000 such reports. In total, callers reported losses of $19 million from Social Security scams in the last year. Though it can be anxiety-inducing to receive such a call, BBB reminds consumers it’s OK to be
skeptical and ask questions of the caller. The Social Security Administration will never call someone and ask for their Social Security number, so if that happens, consumers should refuse to give out any personal information or confirm any information. Here are some other tips to avoid falling victim to this convincing scam: • Don’t trust your caller ID: The internet has made it possible for scammers to use fake IDs when they call you, so it could appear to be a legitimate or local source. If you’re suspicious, don’t make any important decisions based on the caller ID. • Contact the Social Security Administration: If you’re concerned about a call from someone claiming to be with the SSA, you can call the real SSA at 1-800-772-1213. • Never give personal information to unsolicited callers: As a general rule, if someone contacts you out of the blue, refuse to confirm or provide any personal information. It’s OK to get their number and verify their legitimacy before returning the call. If they’re a reputable source, they will understand. To learn more about common – and often convincing – scams, visit www.bbb.org/scamtips. If you’ve been targeted by this scam, help other people avoid the same problem by reporting your experience at www.ftc.gov/complaint and www.bbb.org/scamtracker.

A victim of identity theft discovered that her own name was in the May 16 jail roster in the Pine City Pioneer. A person using the identity of Crystal Gayle Smith was arrested on May 11 on suspicion of drug possession. That name was on the report the Pine County Sheriff’s

When Smith was informed that her name was in the jail roster, she realized that this was another incident related to the identity theft of which she was already a victim. She contacted both the Pine County Sheriff’s Office and the Pine City Pioneer to make sure the record was corrected, and

When should I pull over?
When on a freeway, and emergency vehicle is approaching from the rear but not the same lane, is Q: it the law to pull over and stop? Stopping on the freeway can be very dangerous.
Minnesota state laws says that A: upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle the
driver shall yield the right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to and as close as possible to the right-hand edge or curb of the highway clear of any intersection, and shall Ask a stop and remain in this position until the authorized emergency vehicle has Trooper passed. If on a one-way roadway, the driver shall drive to the closest edge or Sgt. Neil curb and stop. Dickenson Every situation varies when emergency vehicles are responding and how much room there is to yield and move over and is there enough time for this to be done in a safe manner. I my experience in responding to emergencies, I had seen drivers that had not seen or heard me behind them and this had created a very dangerous situation. Some drivers noticed my presence too late and apply the brakes very hard at freeways speeds. Other dangerous situations that I see are lane change as I am about to pass them on the left. By eliminating distractions, you will be able to see and hear an approaching emergency vehicle and other potential dangerous situations that you may encounter. If you find yourself with an emergency vehicle approaching you very quickly, safely slow down and move over as soon as you are able to and yield to them. Also watch out for the vehicles in front of you in the event that they brake abruptly. Law enforcement understands that there are some situations where motorists are not able to come to a complete stop, like on a freeway, so officer discretion will come into play.
What is the law regarding fastening bike carriers Q: and other items to the back of a vehicle which block the ability to read the rear license plate?
It is illegal if any part of the taillight or license A:A vehicle plate is blocked by a bike, carrier or any object. built after 1960 must have two red tail lights
that are plainly visible at 500 feet to the rear, and the license plate must be displayed in a manner that the view of any plate or permit is not obstructed. A rear end crash could occur when other vehicles can’t see the taillights. Please make sure that your license plate and taillights are visible at all times. Find other options on where to place bigger objects on or in a vehicle so the rear taillights and license plate can be seen at all times. Another safety issue that we see on our roads is when cargo is not secured. Make sure you properly secure all items that could potentially come out of your vehicle and potentially cause a crash behind you. Make sure that tie-down straps are tight and secure and keep an eye on your trailer and cargo while traveling. In the event that any item comes off a vehicle while in motion, the driver can be cited for an unsecured load, and could be liable for any civil actions that result in property damage or injury to other motorists that are trying to avoid and/or strike the unsecured item. Watch this video for more information on how to secure your load. SEND QUESTIONS to Sgt. Neil Dickenson – Minnesota State Patrol at 1131 Mesaba Ave, Duluth, MN 55811 or neil.dickenson@state.mn.us.

‘If you were to actually travel to the magical land of Narnia, what would you do?’
MIKE GAINOR | THE PIONEER
Kassedy Olson Aslan’s Follower I would probably actually go to the eastern borders of Narnia, just to see what the ocean was like there. There would be different creatures there and things to explore. I love the sea, so that’s where I would be going.
Lauren Tracy The Unicorn Well, first of all, it would be really cold, so I would want to bring a coat. I would want to see everything around. And then I would want to see the Stone Table because everybody talks about it. I just want to explore it, because I like traveling.
Brooklyn Shellito Elf, Witch’s Army I would visit the beavers, because they’re awesome. And then I would mess around. I would go visit people and play with magic.
Hunter Fain Peter I’d probably hang out with the mystical animals. They sound pretty interesting, and I’d love to see how they do.
Ellie Novack Aslan’s follower First I would visit the Stone Table, and then I would visit the home of the beavers, because the smell of their cooking would travel through Narnia and I would have to follow it.
Gavin Schueller Sound I would explore a lot of it because I like the winter – it’s nice and cold and you can always bundle up for it.
Lydia Struss Lucy I guess I would just be amazed that there would be a land attached to a wardrobe!
Celia Ausmus Edmund I’d probably go and talk to a bunch of the animals. That would be fun.
Emily Elliot Backstage Manager Well, once I got over the cold, I would probably try and go visit the beavers, because it sounds like they’ve got a nice little cozy place going on. Nice hospitality.
Ashley Peters Chipmunk I would probably travel to Cair Paravel to see the thrones and see what it was like.

lighthearted afternoon ... or evening.” She said she has had a lot of fun allowing the students to have some creativity with this show. “About half a dozen students created their own costumes for the show, which is something we’ve never done before,” Schueller said, chuckling. “Because this show is probably 80% animal and 20% human, there’s this new element of creating animal characters through makeup.” The play tells the story of Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensi, who are evacuated from London during World War II and sent to live with an old professor in the English countryside. While exploring the professor’s house, the children discover an enchanted wardrobe that leads them into
the magical land of Narnia. Once there, they find adventures as they befriend talking animals and face down the evil White Witch. Chris Shellito plays Mr. Beaver in the play – one of the first magical animals that the children encounter. “The beavers are funny,” Shellito said. “They’re cute and they’re chubby, they have their own personalities. They’re like the parents of the kids in Narnia.” Shellito said he has enjoyed the part, and – having already seen several movies and shows about Narnia – said it has given him new insight into this dream world of magic. “I just like really like the environment of it, and how it’s based off of different stories,” he said. He said he has truly appreciates his fellow cast and crew members, who have been working hard to
bring Nsrnia to life. “The cast with the plays ... it’s kind of like a family,” he said. “But I also enjoy acting and getting into that character. And of course, giving that amazing show the last week of the play, and everyone is proud of it. We put a lot of work into it, and we make it happen. “It’s going to be an amazing play, Shellito said. “We have a good credit of being a small town but still putting on amazing plays. I would definitely say, if you did enjoy the Narnia movies, especially the old-school one, you should come see it.” Showtimes for “The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe” at the Pine City High School Auditorium will be Friday, May 31 at 7 p.m., Saturday, June 1 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, June 2 at 2 p.m.

AADLAND: Pine City High School graduate explores his roots as he moves ahead in his journalism career FROM PAGE 1
deemed me qualified enough.” The achievement not only marks a milestone in his professional growth, but for Aadland it’s an opportunity to learn and connect with his own heritage. His dad is a member of the Chippewa Tribe, Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe, in Minnesota. “Growing up, I knew I was Ojibwe,” Chris said, “but my dad was adopted as a child so it was never a large part of my background.” His first venture into learning about Native American culture came when he was a journalism major at the University of Minnesota. “There is a language requirement in college,” he said. “When I saw they offered Ojibwe, it was a no-brainer for me to take it.” His interest piqued, Aadland took additional classes in Native American history and culture. “I started to hang out at the American Indian Student Cultural Center on campus, got to know people who share my background, and wanted to learn more about it. I didn’t know it would end up leading to a deeper involvement.” His college internship at the Wisconsin State Journal in Madison led to a full-time general assignment reporting job at the paper. For the past two years, he’s covered everything from breaking news and feature stories to local government. “I knew I wanted to take the next step in my career,” he said, “and I’ve had a desire to cover Native American issues. The timing worked out perfectly…. Report for America posted these openings, and the beats they were hiring for… it was a perfect fit.” Aadland described the applica-
tion process as rigorous and the competition as somewhat intimidating. “I felt I was a long shot,” he said. “The others who were in the running are pretty heavy hitters….” After completing the application forms and providing references, Chris was chosen for an interview with one of the Report for America judges. He was selected as a finalist and paired with four different newspapers, all in western states. “I interviewed with all four newsrooms once or twice. The Casper paper was one I talked to twice, and they ended up making me an offer.” Aadland’s first day at the paper is June 3. He’ll spend a short time learning their systems and procedures before being flown by RFA to Houston, Texas for a one-week ‘boot camp.’ His home will be Riverton, Wyoming, a city of 11,000 near the Wind River Reservation, where the Eastern Shoshone and the Northern Arapaho tribes reside. “Luckily, at least at first, the paper has story ideas they haven’t had the resources or the time to cover,” he said. “I’ll start by meeting with elders, community leaders, tribal government officials, and let them know we’re not just parachuting in and leaving. I will be there for a year, maybe two, dedicated to telling their stories, bringing light to issues that affect their lives. Hopefully, I can earn their trust, and it will lead to better, more thoughtful and nuanced coverage than the reservation has had in the past.” Some of the topics he expects to cover are access to health care and issues around poverty and substance abuse. “There are tensions in the area regarding water access. There are concerns with drilling and how
much control the tribes have on their lands. They are trying to re-establish a natural bison herd out there, and some of the nearby ranchers have concerns about that. “A topic that’s near and dear to my heart is what the tribes are doing about language revitalization and preserving their culture, making sure it gets passed on to the next generation.” As a journalist, Aadland is honored and excited to be part of RFP’s mission: To strengthen our communities and our democracy through local journalism that is truthful, fearless, fair and smart. “Local news is so important to the lives of people in any community, whether it’s Pine City, Madison, Riverton…,” Chris said. “After my one or two years are up, I hope people who live there aren’t quite as skeptical when a reporter comes to the reservation. I hope I can gain their trust so they believe we do care…. Growing up with a foot in the native and non-native worlds, I often heard the questions…. Why does the tribe want to do that? Why do they care about that? I hope, with the help of my reporting, the people of Wyoming won’t have to ask.” “This is a big deal for us,” said Joshua Wolfson, editor of the Casper Star-Tribune. “Until now, we’ve never had a reporter devoted full-time to writing about Native American communities in our state.” “Chris checked a lot of boxes for us,” he said. “We saw a talented young journalist with room to grow and develop…. He’s thought a lot about how Native American communities should be covered, and we think he can bring important nuance to the stories he’ll be writing.”

Review dock regulations
As summer approaches, the Department of Natural Resources encourages property owners and lake service provider businesses to review the regulations, to ensure the equipment they own, sell or install is in compliance. Extensive dock systems may shade out important aquatic plants and eliminate critical habitat where fish spawn, feed, grow and find shelter from predators. They can also obstruct navigation or even create a safety hazard if they are too large or improperly placed. “The current regulations have been in existence for many years, but not everyone is familiar with them,” said Jack Gleason, DNR public waters hydrologist. “The DNR worked with property owners, public water users, and business and industry representatives to develop these regulations. They’re designed to balance the need for reasonable access to public waters with habitat protection and safety.” To ensure this balance, a dock may not be more than 8 feet wide and may not be combined with other similar structures to create a wider dock. A modest platform at the water end of a dock is allowed under certain conditions. A single, temporary platform up to 120 square feet measured separately from the access dock, or 170 square feet including the area of the adjacent access dock, is allowed if the following conditions exist: The access dock must be 5 feet wide or less, and The dock must be on a lake with a shoreland classification of General Development or Recreational Development. Docks must not be a hazard to navigation, health or safety and must allow the free flow of water. A dock should not close off part of the lake or river to other users. Docks must also comply with any local ordinances. A document about state dock requirements is available at www.dnr.state.mn.us.

June belongs to Jupiter BY DEANE MORRISON
This year, June belongs to Jupiter. Earth has been gaining on the giant planet, and on the 10th we lap it in the orbital race. At that moment, Jupiter and the sun occupy opposite corners of the sky. Befitting its position, Jupiter rises in the southeast at about the same time the sun sets in the Minnesota northwest. It proceeds to Starwatch shine all night it travels Deane Morrison as the sky with Antares, the i i red d star of Scorpius, on gigantic its western flank. Trailing Jupiter to the east, Saturn rises around midnight early in the month. Along with Jupiter and the stars, it comes up earlier in the evening as the days go by. The night of the 16th17th, June’s full moon rises near Jupiter and accompanies the planets in their nightly journey. Perfect fullness occurs at 3:31 a.m. on the 17th. If you’re out approximately 40 minutes after sunset in mid- or late June, you may
catch two planets and two stars performing a dance in the sun’s afterglow. Close above the west-northwest horizon, Mars sinks as Mercury pops up for one of its signature short visits. On the 18th, Mercury, the brighter of the two, appears about half a moon width above Mars. The two planets keep shifting their positions, and
they end June by tumbling down to the horizon, in company with the nearby Gemini twins Pollux (the brighter) and Castor. When the sky darkens, look to the east, where the Summer Triangle of bright stars is gaining altitude. The brightest is Vega, which commands the constellation Lyra, the lyre of Orpheus. Use binoculars to get a good
view of a parallelogram of stars below Vega; these stars define the body of the lyre. In the south, Bootes, the herdsman, resembles a high-flying kite. Anchoring the kite is Arcturus, the fourth brightest star in all the night sky (Vega is a close fifth). Arcturus has another distinction: It doesn’t circulate in the disk of the Milky Way like our solar system. Instead, it’s hurtling perpendicularly down through the disk, along with at least 50 other stars, in a pack known as the Arcturus Stream. Immediately east of Bootes hangs a semicircle of stars; this is Corona Borealis, the northern crown. Its brightest jewel is known as Alphecca or Gemma. Summer arrives with the solstice at 10:54 a.m. on Friday the 21st. At that moment Earth will be lighted from the Antarctic Circle up to the North Pole and over to the Arctic Circle on the dark side of our planet. DEANE MORRISON is a writer and editor with the University of Minnesota Office of University Relations. Minnesota Starwatch is a service of the Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics, located in the Tate Laboratory of Physics and Astronomy. The University of Minnesota offers public viewings of the night sky at its Duluth and Twin Cities campuses.
