Northern Spark is a rain-or-shine event, and in 2014 Minneapolis’ annual all-night art festival got rain — and not just rain, but an hours-long, cats-and-dogs plus tree-toppling wind deluge.

June 2014 was the single wettest month in Minnesota history, and the rain-iest June the Twin Cities had seen since 1874. Back then, Uptown was still the undeveloped countryside.

Long after the final drops were rung from the sky, Steve Dietz, the festi-val’s artistic director, was still thinking about that night of rain. But Dietz was thinking about it in the context of a warming planet, one in which extreme weather events of all kinds — not just heavy rain and floods, but fires and droughts — are occurring with greater frequency.

Council passes paid sick time ordinanceAdvocates cheer after unanimous vote

By Dylan Thomas / [email protected]

Advocates stood and applauded after the Minneapolis City Council voted unanimously May 27 to approve the state’s first municipal paid sick and safe time ordinance.

The ordinance requires any employer with at least six employees to provide up to 48 hours of paid sick time annually. Smaller employers must allow time off, but it can be unpaid.

“This is such a significant moment for our city,” said Council Member Lisa Bender, who described the measure as a response to the “new economic and polit-

ical realities for our country.”The ordinance also protects workers

who take time off to care for a sick family member and those who need to be away from work because of domestic abuse.

An estimated 41 percent of Minneapolis workers don’t currently have access to paid time off for their own or a family member’s illness. Those who don’t have sick time are disproportionately low-income workers and people of color.

Anthony Newby, executive director of Neighborhoods Organizing for Change, a

group that pushed for the ordinance, called it “a tremendous victory for low-wage workers of color” in a statement released after the vote.

“Addressing economic inequality is crucial to solving Minnesota’s persistent racial disparities,” Newby said. “Earned sick and safe time for Minneapolis workers is an important step in the right direction.”

Employees earn one hour of paid sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 48 hours per year.

NICOLLET ISLAND-EAST BANK

COMING SOON Glam Doll Donuts

Soon, Northeast Minneapolis residents won’t have to travel to Eat Street to feast on their favorite donuts.

Glam Doll Donuts is opening a second shop in the Red 20 apartment building in the Nicollet Island-East Bank neighbor-hood. It joins other Whittier-based restau-rants Lu’s Sandwiches and The Bad Wait-ress in its expansion into an increasingly popular stretch of Northeast Minneapolis.

Co-owner Teresa Fox said they’ve signed a lease for a space fronting Central Avenue in the new apartment building. Her and co-owner Arwyn Birch are looking to open the second shop in December.

Fox said the space is roughly the same size, though it will likely appear bigger due to the high ceilings. They originally looked at the Northeast Minneapolis area when opening the flagship location, but couldn’t swing the cost, she said.

“It’s going to seem grand,” Fox told The Journal. “It’s a good time to be opening in that neighborhood.”

But what about the donuts?“We’ll definitely be expanding the

menu,” she said.Fox is planning to serve beer, wine and

mimosas, along with Glam Dolls’ expanding brunch menu, in the new location. The Eat Street donut shop added breakfast sandwiches and a fried chicken and waffle donut to the menu earlier this year.

“Who doesn’t want champagne?” she

said. “It’s more reason to hang out.”The shop opened in 2013 and has

garnered several accolades for its pastries, from City Pages’ “Best Donuts in Minne-apolis” to features in USA Today and the Wall Street Journal.

Glam Doll is slated to open at 519 Central Ave. NE this winter between Urban Violet and Lu’s Sand-wiches near a popular stretch of North-east Minneapolis that’s also home to an expanded Riddle Room and The Golden Pearl Vintage.

The area, which is part of the Nicollet Island-East Bank and Marcy-Holmes neighborhoods, is home to a quickly growing restaurant scene with The Herbivorous Butcher, Stem Wine Bar & Eatery, Spitz and the upcoming PinKU also opening.

NOW OPEN Spitz

Spitz, a Los Angeles-based Mediterranean street-food chain, has opened its expansion into the former Wilde Roast Café space in Northeast Minneapolis.

Founders Bryce Rademan and St. Cloud native Robert Wicklund started the small restaurant chain in California after studying abroad in Spain while at Occidental College. The trip later served as inspiration for the concept’s signature döner kebab with shaved spits of meat from a vertical broiler.

The 2,600-square-foot restaurant opened quietly in mid-May, but hasn’t yet had a grand opening, staff said.

Wicklund told The Journal earlier this year that he’s opening the restaurant, the first Spitz in Minnesota, with his brother-in-law.

“This feels like a homecoming that was a long time coming and I couldn’t be more excited. Plus, it feels very special to be keeping things in the family,” he said in an email.

Spitz offers brunch, lunch and dinner options.

The restaurant is known for its customiz-able döner wraps and sandwiches with beef, lamb, chicken, falafel and vegan/vegetarian options. They can then be paired with sides

like sweet potato fries, fried pita strips with hummus or crispy garbanzo beans with olives. Spitz also offers a full bar, 12 beers on tap and house-made sangria.

The two have expanded Spitz with five locations in California and two in Salt Lake City, Utah over the past decade. Wicklund said they’re looking to open a restaurant in St. Paul soon as well.

Spitz is now open at 518 Hennepin Ave. E. next door to R Taco (formerly Rusty Taco) in the Marcy-Holmes area. The restaurant is open 11a.m.-10 p.m. every day.

NOW OPEN Jefe: Urban Hacienda

Jefe, the new Mexican restaurant from Aster Café owner Jeff Arundel, is now open.

The concept, located on the main level of the former St. Anthony Main Event Center space just a few doors down from Aster, aims to serve authentic Mexican street food. In opening Jefe, Arundel told The Journal earlier this year that he wanted it to be classic, not kitschy with a vintage Spanish feel.

Amy Spartz, Arundel’s wife and busi-ness partner, said Jefe will be their first full-service restaurant, given Aster’s cold kitchen. Chef Drew Ledo, who also mans the kitchen at Aster, will head Jefe’s menu. “He’s thrilled to be cooking with a flame again,” Spartz said.

Jefe’s dinner menu features Mexican street food staples ($5-$8) like sopes, elote and huge servings of guacamole. For the restaurant’s eight main tacos ($6-$10 for two), Ledo gets creative with fried oysters (ostras con tocino), oxtail, chicken tinga and fish (opakapaka). Spartz said they use masa tortillas, which make them a little thicker and chewier. They also help make most of Jefe’s dishes gluten free.

For main entrees ($11-$23) Jefe offers a wide variety of options like smoked duck tamales ($21), cauliflower pastor ($11) and a unique take on a Juicy Lucy burger ( Juicy Lucia, $15) with a poached egg instead of cheese inside.

It’s not the only burger on the menu. As Arundel promised, Jefe is serving a more traditional Gringo Burger ($12), plus a few American-style options like a steak with fries ($21) and even a Minnesota State Fair-style pulled pork sandwich ($11).

On the bar side, Spartz said Jefe will be more focused on cocktails and margaritas than its café neighbor. The smaller wine list features several Spanish wines, and among Jefe’s 12 taps there are a few Mexican beers next to Minnesota craft beers. There are also sangrias with fresh fruit.

The restaurant’s house margarita ($10)

can be customized with fruit and herb options, including a few unique add-ons like mint, blackberries and cucumber. The house old fashioned ($12) is made with Ancho Reyes chile liqueur so “there’s a little bit of a bite to it,” Spartz said.

One last unique item is the house-made horchata. At $2.50, the non-alcoholic, non-dairy rice drink is made light and refreshing for sipping on Jefe’s 60-seat patio.

Arundel told The Journal earlier this year that Jefe’s most important component is comfort. Spartz said while there are great Mexican restaurants around town, they wanted to open a place that would marry both the authentic food, bever-ages and welcoming atmosphere that they wanted in a restaurant.

“What we didn’t find was a space that we would want to go in and just spend the night there and have cocktails and meet friends and gather,” she said.

Much of Jefe’s décor is reclaimed. There’s a vintage 30-seat bar from Pennsylvania, secondhand tables from Duluth’s Pickwick Restaurant & Pub, a sofa from Arundel’s old office and other classic Spanish-style decorations. The most notable thing is the welcoming metal Zorro statue designed by artist Paul Tierney, who also did the restau-rant’s stained glass, metalwork and the portico outside.

Jefe opened for dinner on May 18 at 219 Main St. SE in Marcy-Holmes. Its hours will be 4-12 p.m. The kitchen is open until 10 p.m. during the week and 11 p.m. on weekends.

The plan is to add weekend brunch in about a month after things get settled. Lunch is also in the works.

NICOLLET ISLAND-EAST BANK

NOW OPEN Stem Wine Bar & Eatery

Stem Wine Bar & Eatery is now open in the Nicollet Island-East Bank neighborhood.

Ivy Taheri, a partner at The Tangiers, is behind the full-service restaurant and wine bar, which neighbors JL Beers on University Avenue Northeast. Taheri told The Journal earlier this year that the approximately 60-seat Stem feels like a relaxed lounge with outdoor seating and a valet service.

The wine list specializes in French and Italian wines, many curated by Minneapolis-based Small Lot Wine. The American-fusion menu features several small plates ($7-$20)

from staples like French fries ($7) or crab cakes ($14) to creative options like Korean meatballs ($12) and petite lamb chops ($16). Stem also offers several salads and desserts, such as ice cream from Sebastian Joe’s and baked goods from Three Chocolatiers.

Stem opened May 18 at 24 University Ave. NE. The restaurant is open 4 p.m. to midnight Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday, and from 4 p.m.-2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

Just down the block, PinKU, a fast-casual Japanese street food concept, is set to open in early June.

COMING SOON Lu’s Sandwiches

Lu’s Sandwiches, a sandwich shop in Whittier known for its banh mi sand-wiches, is expanding with a higher-end location in Northeast Minneapolis.

The new restaurant will open next month in the new Red 20 apartment building in the Nicollet Island-East Bank neighborhood. Owner Quang Pham said while much of the beloved food will stay the same, the business model will be of a higher-end fast casual restaurant serving beer, wine and made-to-order food.

This will be the second location for the

sandwich shop, which has been located at Nicollet & 26th for the past four years. Lu’s Sandwiches serves banh mi sand-wiches made with fresh baguettes, vermi-celli noodle bowls and bubble tea.

Pham, who owns Lu’s Sandwiches with three other partners, said the new shop will seat nearly 50 diners inside, plus more than 20 outside.

Lu’s Sandwiches is expected to open in late June near Central & 6th in the Red 20 building. The 130-unit apartment building is also home to a YogaFit studio.

Noted

Jos. A. Bank closed its Nicollet Mall store in May. The menswear retailer announced earlier this year its plan to close approximately 250 stores across the country.

Laura Bonicelli plans to open her Windom Park restaurant, Bonicelli Kitchen, this July at 1839 Central Ave. NE. The full-service restaurant, wine bar and deli counter opened its outdoor garden to diners during Art-A-Whirl weekend May 20-22.

COMING SOON The Bad Waitress

The Bad Waitress is expanding with a second diner in Northeast Minneapolis.

Owners Mary and Andy Cohen are plan-ning to open a second diner and coffee shop in the 700 Central project in Marcy-Holmes. The apartment development from Wayzata-based Nolan Properties Group is trans-forming two warehouse buildings into 80 market-rate apartments and retail space.

Andy Cohen said the new restaurant will be larger (about 3,500 square feet versus the original’s 2,200). It will also have a full bar whereas the original just serves beer and wine. The new location will likely have full table service in the evening rather than just cafeteria-style dining like the original restau-rant, though he said it will still have that during the day.

They’ve been looking for a new location across the North Loop, downtown, Northeast Minneapolis and other areas for more than a year, he said.

“We’re really excited about the neighbor-hood and the project itself, ” he told The Journal. “We think it will be a great fit.”

The second diner is expected to open in late November at the corner of Central & 7th.

The Cohens bought The Bad Waitress two years ago. The original restaurant opened more than a decade ago.

A spokeswoman with Nolan Properties said there is one more commercial space left in the project, which is being co-developed with St. Louis Park-based Bader Develop-ment. The approximately 2,200-square-foot space fronts Central Avenue and is in the same building as the Bad Waitress.

The 700 Central development is expected to open before the end of the year.

The best chef in the MidwestThe Bachelor Farmer’s Paul Berglund discusses his James Beard Award win

Eric Best / [email protected]

Minneapolis is home to another James Beard Award-winning chef.

Paul Berglund of the Bachelor Farmer in the North Loop was named Best Chef Midwest by the James Beard Foundation in May. Known as the Oscars of the food world, the prestigious award hasn’t been given to a Minnesota chef in five years.

Berglund, who’s been at the helm of Eric and Andrew Dayton’s restaurant for the past five years, was one of two finalists from Minnesota, joining Lenny Russo of St. Paul’s Heartland Restaurant & Farm Direct Market. Previous Best Chef Midwest winners include Tim McKee of the former La Belle Vie in Loring Park (2009), Alex Roberts of Restaurant Alma in Marcy-Holmes (2010) and Isaac Becker of downtown’s 112 Eatery (2011).

We caught up with the chef and Bryn Mawr resident during a recent interview at the Bach-elor Farmer.

You’ve been nominated for this award twice, in 2014 and 2015. How does it feel winning?

Two years ago I was not as appreciative. I still felt like I had a little more something to prove. We were just three years old. I didn’t just appre-ciate it for what it was. And last year was a lot of fun. It’s been fun every year, but this year I’m just grateful to get in the semi-finalist category, grateful to be a nominee and really grateful to be awarded. Tuesday [after winning] was the same as Sunday [before winning] was in the kitchen. We’re always trying to be as good as we can as a restaurant and as a team. And that hasn’t changed at all. I think what this represents more than anything is not a mandate to do whatever we want here, but just a recognition from our peers that we’ve done something that’s worthy of acknowledgement.

Does it feel like there’s a Minneapolis presence on the national food scene?

I think so. I think we have good, solid represen-tation. Andrew Zimmern was there, and he’s always a great supporter of what we do and the Minnesota food scene as a whole. Diane Yang [of Spoon & Stable] was there representing Minne-apolis. Jamie [Malone] and Erik [Anderson of Brut] too. I think the more time goes by there is a greater focus on Minnesota as a food hub. That was, I think, pretty clear when Food & Wine [Magazine] named Minneapolis the next big food town [in 2012]. That really, I think, put a point on what we’re doing here as a community.

The Dayton brothers’ businesses, Bachelor Farmer included, have been promoting the North as a new identity for our region and culture. How does that fit into your work and promoting food locally?

That’s a critically important part of what we do as a business. We partner with local growers and farmers, and in doing so we help bring aware-ness to the importance of eating locally. So the food, by and large, that we use comes from a close proximity to our restaurant. It’s identifi-ably from our region, from Minnesota, from the North, and you can taste that in our food. That’s a large part in how we fit in as a restaurant into this idea of a northern regional identity.

How has that evolved at the Bachelor Farmer?

There are Nordic touchpoints on our menu and we certainly started out with a Nordic affilia-tion, but as time passed, we were finding in the kitchen more and more inspiration from our region. And at a certain point we felt like the Nordic connection wasn’t as strong as when we started. So we’ve since, sort of naturally and organically, started thinking of ourselves in other terms, kind of like how we fit into the northern regional identity. In our region there isn’t as deep culinary roots as there are in other regions of the country. So I think that’s one exciting element to what’s happening here in Minnesota and our region. There are people rolling the dice a little bit and seeing what shakes out.

Before coming to Minnesota you were in the kitchen at Oliveto Restaurant & Café in Oakland, Calif. What was your approach to learning to use local food?

That’s the only way I know how to cook profes-sionally. It really is. At Oliveto we had similar

principles. I grew up in the kitchen essentially only knowing how to do it this way. And frankly it’s the only way that I ever will do it. On kind of a more global note, I feel like we’re at a cross-roads as a society and we can either take care of our environment or choose to look away, and I think creating sustainability through agriculture is one of the ways that we can care for our envi-ronment. That’s what working with these respon-sible, smart, hardworking farmers is about for me. It’s about enabling the people that are taking care of our earth to do what they do, and then hopefully we can spread the word about them.

Are there places that you want to take the restaurant?

One thing I’m really enjoying right now is rekindling my love of pasta because that’s what I learned how to cook and that’s what I was around in my entire career in California. That’s not Nordic, so we’re doing that here and I’m finding that incredibly rewarding. It fits in our menu really well. We’ll keep connecting and exploring how vegetables play into our cuisine. I think serving great local vegetables and high-lighting them is a responsible thing to do. And so I get really excited when asparagus comes in. Right now I’m sticking pretty close to what I know in the world of pasta, but to the point, we’re serving fettuccine with ramps (wild leeks) and ramps don’t grow in California, so that’s something that I’m adapting to our region.

Ed Graff is board’s pick for superintendentBy Dylan Thomas / [email protected]

The Minneapolis Board of Education is bringing Ed Graff back to Minnesota.

The board named Graff their preferred candidate for Minneapolis Public Schools superintendent May 24. The native Minne-sotan has spent the previous 25 years working for the Anchorage School District in Alaska, where he currently serves as superintendent.

Pending the outcome of contract negotia-tions, Graff is expected to start his new job July 1.

Graff won votes from six of the nine school board members. The other three went to Minnesota Commissioner of Educa-tion Brenda Cassellius, the only other finalist recommended by the Superintendent Search Committee.

Graff does not yet hold a Minnesota super-intendent’s license. But in a Skype interview with the media following his selection, he said he was “looking forward to hitting the ground running full-time in July.”

Graff said he would focus on meeting with School Board members and building community connections before turning his attention to the district’s many pressing needs, including a referendum on the November ballot. Graff also talked about capitalizing on a sense of “urgency” he felt in May when he was in Minneapolis for the job interview.

“The urgency is the common thread that I’ve heard from all my interactions and discus-sions, and that urgency really is about creating opportunities for our kids, positive opportuni-ties,” he said.

As they discussed their options prior to the vote, board members said they were deeply impressed by both candidates.

Cassellius grew up in Minneapolis, has chil-dren in the district and worked under Carol Johnson, a respected former superintendent in Minneapolis, Memphis and Boston. In a public interview with the board, she framed herself as an egoless, data-driven leader brimming with energy for the job.

But Cassellius’ resume could also be seen as a weakness. Both the district’s former superintendent and the interim superinten-dent during the search also worked under Johnson, and if Cassellius meant more of the same it wouldn’t necessarily bode well

for efforts to close the district’s achieve-ment gaps. Board members noted gaps for African American students statewide hadn’t narrowed significantly during Cassellius’ term as commissioner.

Graff, on the other hand, was a district outsider, playing a role that came with both opportunities and challenges. He could offer the district a fresh start or struggle to gain his footing in a complex, politically charged environment.

In his public interview with the board, he emphasized his focus on students and his experience in using social and emotional learning techniques to build relation-ships with both children and adults. The Anchorage School Board recently chose not to renew Graff’s contract in that district, but Minneapolis board members Jenny Arneson and Rebecca Gagnon — who traveled to Anchorage in May — said Graff still enjoys strong support at home.

Arneson said Graff took over in Anchorage during a period of “turmoil and budget diffi-culty” and not only stabilized the district but boosted the morale of staff and teachers. The Anchorage School Board’s decision to replace him inspired reactions of “general surprise and confusion among everyone we talked to,” Arneson said.

“There is no smoking gun,” she said, adding that “it does not seem to be a performance-based decision, from what we can tell.”

With more than 48,000 students, Anchorage School District is 35 percent larger than Minneapolis Public Schools by enroll-ment. Both districts educate an ethnically, racially and economically diverse mix of students, but that diversity looks different in the two cities. In both cases, one demographic group makes up about 40 percent of the student population, but it’s white students in Anchorage and black students in Minneapolis.

Board Member Don Samuels said he was at first skeptical that a “white guy” was the best choice for superintendent, but after a conver-sation with Graff was “blown away by his ability to mitigate those concerns.”

Samuels noted that Graff lived on American Indian reservations as a young man and worked with a significant native student population in Alaska. Those experiences will “translate easily and effectively to the African American community,” Samuels said.

He was also impressed by Graff’s deep thinking and sensitivity, calling him “quite the evolved human being.”

The votes for Cassellius came from board members Siad Ali, Kim Ellison and Nelson Inz. Voting for Graff were board members Gagnon, Arneson, Samuels, Carla Bates, Josh Reimnitz and Tracine Asberry.

The board was scheduled to discuss Graff’s contract May 27 but then postponed the meeting. Board members noted could take time to decide whether Graff’s contract

should include performance measures — like Bernadeia Johnson’s contract — and what those measures might be.

Although Graff holds a superintendent license in Alaska, he is short of the require-ments in Minnesota. Graff said his application for a superintendent license in this state was not granted, and he will have to request a variance to start work in Minneapolis.

District General Counsel Amy Moore said Graff would need “approximately seven credits” for a Minnesota superintendent’s license. Moore noted the district has applied for and received variances for past superin-tendents, including one for Johnson’s prede-cessor, Bill Green.

The board also voted to name Chief of Schools Michael Thomas interim superinten-dent during the transition. Michael Goar had served in that capacity since Johnson’s resig-nation in early 2015, but on June 1 he started a new job as CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities.

Goar was one of three finalists in the board’s first attempt to hire a new superinten-dent this winter. The board rescinded its offer to Sergio Paez after the Massachusetts super-intendent was confronted with allegations of abuse in a program in his home district. The board abandoned an attempt to offer Goar the job following community protests.

The search was restarted in March. The work of reviewing candidates and selecting finalists was turned over to an 11-member Superintendent Search Committee chaired by School Board Member Nelson Inz.

Graff was born in Bemidji. He moved to Alaska in 1987 after one year of college at Bemidji State University. He completed his bachelor’s degree at University of Alaska Anchorage and went on to earn a master’s degree in education administration from University of Southern Mississippi.

Graff is married to an Anchorage School District principal, and the couple has one son.

Park Board apologizes to Minneapolis NAACP leader

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board formally apologized to the leader of the Minneapolis NAACP after a heated exchange during a board committee meeting last month.

President Liz Wielinski apologized to Nekima Levy-Pounds, president of the Minneapolis NAACP, after shouting at her during a May 11 Committee of the Whole meeting, which didn’t have a formal oppor-tunity for public comment, when Levy-Pounds attempted to speak. Commissioners also passed a formal apology on behalf of the board.

Commissioners began the process of

amending the board’s rules to open such meetings to public comment in the future. The board also voted to meet with Levy-Pounds by Aug. 31 to discuss issues she and other community members have raised, including discriminatory hiring practices and inequitable park investment.

“I’d like to apologize for losing my temper,” Wielinski said in a statement. “It reflected poorly on both the Park Board and my role as President representing the organization.”

Levy-Pounds, who spoke at open time during the board’s May 18 meeting, described the exchange as “demeaning” and

called for the resignation of both Wielinski and Superintendent Jayne Miller.

“You can’t continue to hold yourself out as the No. 1 park system in the country when you are operating a system that is both sepa-rate and unequal when it comes to the treat-ment of people of color,” she said.

Miller announced that the board is plan-ning an Our Parks series of community meetings beginning in early July to hear how it can better address racial equity. The board invited local community leaders, including Levy-Pounds, to join the effort.

Park Board passes 20-year neighborhood park funding plan

Park commissioners have moved forward with a 20-year funding plan to maintain the city’s neighborhood parks.

Commissioners of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board unanimously passed the plan, via an ordinance, that would provide an additional $11 million annu-ally to revitalize the 157 neighborhood parks in Minneapolis, many of which face disrepair. The plan, a joint effort with the City Council and Mayor Betsy Hodges, is an alternative to a fall referendum that the Park Board had been working toward in recent months.

The roughly $800 million plan also includes $22 million in new money for street projects annually. The City Council passed its version of the plan, dubbed the 20 Year Neighborhood Park Plan, in April.

“This is an extraordinary moment in Minneapolis park history. I am excited to see Minneapolis’ neighborhood parks revi-talized to serve a new, more diverse genera-tion of park users,” said Park Board Presi-dent Liz Wielinski in a statement.

The plan addresses a projected $15 million annual funding gap for capital needs in neighborhood parks and an estimated $30 million annual funding gap for street repairs and reconstruction projects. The proposal taps a variety of funding sources, but most heavily relies on property taxes, which will fund 82 percent of the plan.

Commissioners will take up another ordinance in June to define racial equity criteria to spend the additional investment. The criteria assign point values to a park’s

various characteristics, including if it’s in a racially concentrated area of poverty or the age of its assets, to allocate funding.

“These ordinances will be significantly influential for the Park Board, the City and residents of Minneapolis,” said Super-intendent Jayne Miller. “We’re proud that this critical plan to revitalize Minneapolis’ neighborhood parks will be implemented using a criteria-based system to ensure investments address racial and economic equity.”

Minneapolis edges out St. Paul for nation’s best park system honor

The Minneapolis park system is once again the country’s best, inching past St. Paul, which took second place.

Last year the Twin Cities tied for the top spot in The Trust for Public Land’s ParkS-core Index. This year’s index, released May 26, once again gave a perfect score to the Minneapolis park system.

Minneapolis scored above average in each of the index’s factors: access to parks, park size and park amenities. Nearly all — 95 percent — of Minneapolitans live within a 10-minute walk of a park (compared to St. Paul’s 96 percent), but 15 percent of Minneapolis area is dedicated to parks, which have a median size of 6.5 acres (compared to 3.7 acres in St. Paul), the report said.

“We’re honored by the top ranking, but not resting on our laurels. We are working continuously to improve our parks, with a focus on the most racially diverse and economically challenged areas of the city,” said Jayne Miller, superintendent of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, in a statement. “During the last five years, we have invested significantly in parks throughout the city but especially in north and upper south Minneapolis with new community centers, athletic fields and the first natural swimming pool in North America.”

Minneapolis also topped the list of ranked cities in 2013, 2014 and 2015.

The Trust for Public Land estimates that cities rated in the index increased parks spending by $1 per person on average this year.

“Cities are investing in park systems and that’s showing up on the ParkScore index. It is great news for public health, the environment, and local economies,” said Adrian Benepe, senior vice president and director of city park development for The Trust for Public Land.

An in-depth breakdown of each city’s park system is available at parkscore.tpl.org.

MPCA takes action to close metal shredder on riverfrontBy Sarah McKenzie / [email protected]

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has taken legal steps to halt operations at Northern Metal Recycling because officials say the company provided misleading information when applying for an air quality permit in 2012 and has polluted the air in North Minneapolis.

The metal shredder is located on the river-front just south of the Lowry Avenue Bridge on the city’s North Side at 2800 N. Pacific St.

MPCA officials say the metal shredder is believed to be a primary source of particu-late emissions that have repeatedly violated

state air quality standards since 2014, the agency announced in a statement May 19.

The MPCA filed a motion for temporary injunction in Ramsey County District Court to immediately halt activities at the site believed to be contributing to the pollution.

MPCA Assistant Commissioner David Thornton said the agency believes the company hasn’t been truthful about its emissions at the facility, or added emission sources after the permit was issued without informing the MPCA.

“Either of these conditions is a serious violation of state and federal air quality laws and cause for permit revocation,” Thornton said. “The revocation process takes some time to play out, so while that’s underway we are also asking the court to enjoin Northern Metals from further opera-tions. The violations of air quality standards that have been occurring in this area must be stopped.”

If Northern Metals’ permit is revoked, it can reapply for another one but would have to agree to account for its emissions.

The MPCA started monitoring air quality near the metal shredder after it issued the company a permit in 2012. It soon detected elevated particulates exceeding state standards.

In March, the agency also announced that air monitors near the Lowry Avenue

bridge near the shredder have recorded lead levels concerning to state officials.

Representatives of Northern Metal Recy-cling were not available for comment.

The City of Minneapolis requested an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Northern Metal site in 2011 and requested the MPCA deny a permit for an expansion of its operations in 2012.

Mayor Betsy Hodges commended the MPCA for taking steps to shut down the shredder.

“As I have said, this is an environmental justice issue that impacts one of our most overburdened neighborhoods,” she said. “We must not let the health of our resi-dents, including our children, be deter-mined by their zip code.”

Hodges encouraged anyone in the area or in older homes that may contain lead paint to get their children tested for lead exposure.

State Rep. Raymond Dehn (DFL-59B), whose district includes the shredder site, said he’s also glad to see the MPCA move to shut down Northern Metal.

“For decades, legislators and advocates have been calling attention to the pollution and harm that the shredder is causing to our community,” he said. “It has now come to light that not only has Northern Metals been polluting the air in my community, they’ve been lying to the MPCA to obtain permits to expand their operations. It’s

beyond time that they’re shut down. I’m glad they listened to the voices of our community, the advocates, and the elected officials working with them.”

New tailgating plan for Vikings games moves forward

The City Council has approved a new smaller tailgating zone for the new Vikings stadium.

The zone includes eight surface parking lots near the new Vikings stadium. The Vikings have been working with neighbor-hood groups and the city for more than two years to craft a plan for tailgating — a chal-lenging task given that new development has reduced the supply of parking lots avail-able for pre-game festivities.

It’s up to the owners of the parking lots to allow tailgating. They are also responsible for providing security, cleanup and tempo-rary toilets for tailgaters.

The new Vikings stadium is scheduled to open in July.

Lester Bagley, vice president of public affairs and stadium development for the Vikings, told the Council’s Commu-nity Development & Regulatory Services Committee May 17 that the team has worked with the community to reach consensus on the tailgating plan.

“Part of the game day experience is the tailgate experience — the time-honored tradition that started back in 1961 at the old Met Stadium parking lot and has continued ever since,” he said.

A number of fans also expressed support for the tailgating plan, including Steve Williams, Bobby and Steve’s Auto World’s senior partner.

“At the end of the day are we going to be less convenient on game day for people that don’t want to go to the game? I think so, but I’m a diehard Vikings fan, and I love the fact that the Wilfs blessed us with a $1 billion building on our end of town,” he said.

City Council Member Jacob Frey (Ward 3) said he’s optimistic the new tailgating plan will be successful.

“I very much look forward to working with both the residents in the ward and the fans in securing what I have no doubt will be a beautiful game-day atmosphere — that is enthusiastic, exciting and also respectful,” he said.

Activists protest Hodges’ speech at Humphrey School

Protesters disrupted a speech by Mayor Betsy Hodges at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs on May 19, prompting police to escort them out twice during the 80-minute event hosted by Larry Jacobs, director of the school’s Center for Politics and Governance.

The event was called “The Opportunity City: Progress Report for Minneapolis.”

The activists first took to the stage when Hodges started discussing the police shooting death of Jamar Clark and the 18-day occupation of the Minneapolis Police Department’s 4th Precinct. The disruption was about 30 minutes into her speech.

The protesters started shouting: “If Jamar don’t get it, shut it down.” One activist grabbed a microphone from the mayor and another tried to grab her notes from her hands.

“This is a disruption,” Jacobs said. “This is a violation of university rules. We ask you to desist.”

After police issued several requests for the protesters to leave, about a half dozen activists were escorted away from the stage. No arrests were made, however, said University Police Chief Matt Clark.

Jacobs later asked the mayor to address the protesters. Hodges is in the third year of her first term as mayor.

“How do you make sense of this,” he asked. “Is the opposition a sign that you’re off course, or is it a sign that this is what changes look like?”

Hodges responded: “This is what change looks like.”

She said she welcomes the critical voices.

“I appreciate very much the dissenting voices — I appreciate very much that people are having the chal-lenging conversation, including chal-lenging me, like what just happened,” she said. “That’s important if we’re going to make change. … My role is to use the tools that I have at my disposal — to use the levers of government to do what we can to move the agenda forward.”

Hodges noted that the work she’s focused on requires a long game. “I’m not after change, I’m after transforma-

tion and that takes time,” she said.Jacobs pointed to the challenging

nature of her agenda. “It’s a tough political project you’re engaged in,” he said. “The project you’re aiming at is structural inequality and that took decades, centuries to fall into place.”

When asked about the role of protesters and whether they need to be part of crafting compromise to be effec-tive, she said protest alone can be effec-tive, but even more so when it’s followed by work that advances an agenda.

“Disruption is a powerful tool,” Hodges said. “It creates an opening — it creates focus — and it creates an opportunity to get some things moved forward that might not have moved forward otherwise.”

The mayor also said that she remains open to working with people who have disagreed with her.

“My hand has remained extended to people and sometimes people have taken it and sometimes they have not,” she said.

Earlier in her speech, Hodges also highlighted the internal work of the city to address racial disparities.

Overall, the hiring of people of color has increased by 40 percent within city government during her tenure, she said. The most recent community service officer class, for instance, was 61 percent people of color. The Public Works Department has also had a lot of success recruiting more employees of color.

“That’s the kind of thing we can do as the city and pretty quickly we can see some results from that, and our workforce is changing at the city,” she said. “… My goal is to steep the DNA of the organization in equity because I know it is so crucial for the future of the entire city that we get this right.”

Historic walking tour season announced

Preserve Minneapolis has a new lineup of walking tours throughout the city this summer.

The nonprofit is offering more than 20 tours showcasing the city’s rich history June 5–Sept. 25.

“Preserve Minneapolis focuses on preserving the buildings and cultural heri-tage around Minneapolis and highlighting histories from different people’s point of view,” said Lacey Prpic Hedtke, Preserve Minneapolis’ summer walking tours coor-dinator. “Hopefully the tours will bring people that are new to the city to get to know the city more, and people who have lived in the city for a long time and just want to explore the different neighbor-hoods. Hopefully that will encourage people to be more invested in the city and

get involved in different ways.”New topics this year include black

history and its influence on the East 38th Street community led by Ward 8 residents; the small lake cottages built south of Lake Calhoun in the late 1800s that are now being replaced by larger homes; and the second generation of brewer’s houses of Lowry Hill east, followed by a tour of the LynLake Brewery.

Returning to the tour are popular visits to Pioneers and Soldiers Memorial Cemetery, the historic theaters of Minneapolis and the Fort Snelling Upper Post.

On each tour, guides with experience in fields like architecture, history and preser-vation will tell the stories behind the stories, giving participants a greater understanding of the area’s social and built history.

“I have not been on a tour yet because this is my first year of coordinating tours, but I am excited,” said Hedtke. “I get to go on all of the tours this year, and that was one of the perks to this job.”

Most tours are $9 per person. Participants need to pre-register and pay for tickets online. For more information, registra-tion or to view the events calendar, visit preserveminneapolis.org.

Tour schedule set for U.S. Bank Stadium

The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) and SMG has unveiled the schedule for the U.S. Bank Stadium Public Tours, a year-round, guided tour program for the community to explore the new home of the Minnesota Vikings.

The tours include a behind-the-scenes look at the clubs and suites, the press box and the Minnesota Vikings locker room.

“Well-informed tour guides will lead the exploration of the stadium, sharing facts and figures that highlight the Nordic-

inspired architectural features, iconic ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) roof structure and the signature glass pivoting doors,” said Michele Kelm-Helgen, chair of the MSFA. “U.S. Bank Stadium Tours also include an opportunity to take in the one-of-a-kind Minnesota-based art collection furnished by the Minnesota Vikings.”

Tickets for the tours are on sale at tick-etmaster.com, by phone at 1-800-745-3000 and at all Ticketmaster Outlets.

Private and group tours may be booked

by calling 612-777-8776 or emailing [email protected].

Tours are wheelchair accessible and ADA assistance will be provided upon request.

On Saturday and Sunday, July 23 and 24, there will be an open house to celebrate the grand opening of the stadium. All are welcome, and there are activities planned for all ages. A sneak peek of the main concourse, club space and other interior stadium locations will be included in the Open House.

Tickets for the Open House are free to the public and will be available at a later date.

The U.S. Bank Stadium, owned and oper-ated by MSFA, is a multi-purpose stadium. The stadium, located in Downtown Minne-apolis, will seat 65,400 people.

The stadium has been chosen as the site of Super Bowl LII in 2018 and the NCAA Men’s Final Four in 2019.

Lake grades report out

Lake Calhoun remains at the top of the class in the annual Lake Grades report issued May 26 by Minnehaha Creek Water-shed District.

The sparkling crown jewel of the Chain of Lakes kept up its “A” average in the annual report, which grades lakes in the watershed district based on clarity, algae levels and nutrient growth. Lake of the Isles earned a “C,” Cedar Lake earned a “B” and Lake Harriet, typically an “A” lake like Calhoun, slipped in this year’s report to a “B.”

A “C” grade is considered typical for a lake in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area. An “A”-level lake is the best for recreation actiivities, including swimming, while “B” and “C” lakes are more likely to experience algae growth that may limit their use for recreation.

Other Minneapolis lakes graded in the report include Nokomis (“C”), Harriet (“C”) and Powderhorn (“D”).

The report’s authors caution that the lake grades are just one window into a

lake’s overall health. They don’t give the full picture.

That’s an issue the watershed district aims to address when it rolls out its new E-Grade system in 2018. Also known as the Ecosystem Evaluation Program, the E-Grades is intended to offer a much more comprehensive assessment of lakes, wetlands, streams and even groundwater resources throughout the district, adding new measures for flood control, the diver-sity of plant and animal life and the range

of natural habitats supported by each body of water.

The Minnehaha Creek Watershed District collaborates with several organiza-tions and a group of volunteers to sample lakes throughout its 181-square-mile terri-tory. The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is responsible for most measure-ments in Minneapolis.

GREEN DIGEST By Dylan [email protected]@dthomasjournals

It’s Open Streets season

The Minneapolis Bicycle Coalition is preparing to launch its sixth season of Open Streets Minneapolis on Lyndale Avenue in June.

The first of eight 2016 Open Streets events runs 11 a.m.–5 p.m. June 5 on Lyndale Avenue. That means six hours of zero auto-mobile traffic on 20 blocks of a main South-west Minneapolis thoroughfare.

The whole idea behind Open Streets is to get cars out of the way so communities can come together — by bicycling, walking, skating, playing or just hanging out, all in the street. After several years of expanding the number of Open Streets events, the coalition is now focusing on building stronger connections with the communities that host them, Ethan Fawley, the coalition’s executive director.

“We’re going to be doing more with each event is the hope,” Fawley said.

About 100 different groups and businesses plan to contribute programming to Lyndale Open Streets, an event that can draw 25,000 people on a day with nice weather. This year, Lyndale Avenue will host two kid zones, a BMX stunt show, a skateboarding contest and several areas of live music. That’s all in addition to the Lyn-Lake Street Festival, an

outdoor concert in the Garfield parking lot behind Fuji Ya that is taking place the same day as Open Streets.

Last year, the eight Open Streets events drew 65,000 people, the coalition estimates. The Lake Street event (scheduled this year for July 24) was the most popular.

“It’s continued to grow and grow and grow each year,” Fawley said.

For a full schedule of this year’s Open Streets Minneapolis events, go to open-streetsmpls.org. Click on the “volunteer” tab to find out more about how you can help.

Safely dispose of hazardous waste

Hennepin County plans three hazardous waste collection events in Minneapolis this summer.

That means three opportunities to dispose of household hazardous waste safely and for no charge. Each event runs Thursday through Saturday with mate-rials accepted 9 a.m.–4 p.m. each day.

The collection events are June 2–4 at the Minneapolis Public Works Garage, 3607 E. 44th St.; July 7–9 at Jenny Lind Elementary School, 5025 Bryant Ave. N.; and Aug. 18-20 in the lot located at 340 27th Ave. NE.

Acceptable materials include cans of leftover paints, stains and solvents; mercury-containing thermostats; batteries; pesticides; automotive fluids (except for oil); corrosive cleaning prod-ucts; and fluorescent bulbs.

Don’t bring electronics, appliances, recyclables or other things that can be disposed of through curbside pickup. Do bring a driver’s license, because you may be asked to prove residence in Hennepin County.

For more information on collection events, including drop-off guidelines a full list of items that will or will not be accepted, go to hennepin.us/collec-tionevents.

Woman killed after walking into traffic on I-94

A St. Cloud woman was struck by a pickup truck and killed May 28 on eastbound I-94 under the Nicollet Avenue bridge.

According to the Minnesota State Patrol,

a car pulled over on the right shoulder, and Shawna Renee Anthony, age 35, exited shortly after midnight and walked into traffic. She was struck and killed by a

Chevrolet Silverado in the right center lane. Alcohol was detected in her system, according to the State Patrol.

The 31-year-old driver of the Silverado did

not have alcohol in his system, officials said, and he had no apparent injuries.

With gridlock in Congress and state legislatures, Bender said cities are step-ping up to protect low-wage workers, who sometimes can not take time off for their own or a family member’s illness without risking their livelihood. Paid sick leave can be “the difference between having a home and homelessness,” she said.

“Six years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant, and I know what it’s like to not have enough sick days,” Bender said.

Council Vice President Elizabeth Glidden acknowledged the many people in the audience who helped usher the ordinance to a vote. It required labor advocates and the business community to make compro-mises, Glidden said.

“It was a large community effort that got us here, and you did it,” she said. “Thank you for pushing us to do the right thing.”

Council Member Blong Yang said he was voting for the measure despite his concerns about business impacts. “Time will tell” how North Side businesses in Yang’s Ward 5 will fare under the new ordinance, he said.

Many of the recommendations emerged from the Workplace Partnership Group, which included both business and labor representatives. Still, some in the business community were critical of the ordinance.

Steve Cramer, president and CEO of Minneapolis Downtown Council, and John Stanoch, interim president and CEO of Minneapolis Regional Chamber of Commerce, released a joint statement shortly after the vote expressing their concern about “the many impacts today’s City Council vote will have on employers and employees alike.”

“Despite their good intentions, our

elected officials do not know better than the thousands of businesses which have developed policies and practices that work well for them and the people they employ,” Cramer and Stanoch wrote.

The ordinance takes effect July 1, 2017. Other cities in Minnesota, including St.

Paul and Duluth, are considering similar measures.

Minneapolis joins five states, 24 cities and one county that have enacted paid sick day laws. That count comes from the National Partnership for Women and Families, a nonprofit workplace advocacy

group based in Washington, D.C. that supported the Minneapolis campaign in support of the ordinance.

Bright green asparagus stalks poking out of the ground — one of the quintessential signs of spring!

Mill City Farmers Market farmer Nor Yeng Chang and his wife, Che, look for those crisp green stalks every May as they prepare for the start of the farmers market season. Nor Yeng and Che were the first farmers to call asking to be a part of the Mill City Farmers Market in 2006 when the market, located in between the Guthrie Theater and the Mill City Museum, first opened.

As they planned their crops for the spring, they wanted to be sure that they had enough product for this new market, focused on local, sustainable and organic agriculture. Nor Yeng and Che first moved to the United States from Laos in 1980. They originally lived in Green Bay, Wis., and grew cucumbers for a local pickle company. When they moved to Minnesota they started their own farm in the St. Paul area, growing quite a bit more than cucumbers.

At their booth you’ll find rare Asian greens like Malabar spinach, beautiful fresh herbs, juicy red and yellow raspber-ries, and of course asparagus. Nor Yeng and Che grow all of their crops naturally, weeding by hand and fertilizing without synthetic chemicals. Despite the hard frost in early May that killed thousands

of pounds of asparagus across the state, Nor Yeng and the Market’s other farmers still have lots of new crops sprouting out of the ground. Support your local farmers and pick up some fresh asparagus from the Mill City Farmers Market this Saturday!

Looking for a fresh way to cook aspar-agus? Market Chef Jenny Breen created the following recipe for “Asparagus with Citrus and Olive Marinade” for the Mill City Farmers Market’s free weekly cooking class, Mill City Cooks. Join the class, located in the market’s train shed patio at 10:30 a.m. every Saturday to learn creative and easy ways to cook healthy, local recipes! Find more information about the cooking class and other market events at millcityfarmersmarket.org.

Windom Park

A PRIMER ON WINDOM PARK Central Avenue lines the western border of the Windom Park neighborhood — a desti-nation for foodies.

The street has one of the most diverse mix of eateries in the city. Windom Park’s stretch of Central includes favorites like Adelitas Mexican Restaurant, 2405 Central Ave. NE; and The Mill Northeast, 1851 Central Ave. NE. — the reincarnation of the former Mill City Café.

The neighborhood is named after William Windom, who represented Minne-

sota in Congress from 1859 to 1883. He also served as Secretary of the Treasury.

The neighborhood group Windom Park Citizens in Action works on community projects and has a number of commit-tees working on neighborhood issues. The group’s board of directors meets the fourth Tuesday of the month at the Windom Park Recreation Center, 2251 Hayes St. NE.

A NEW WINDOM PARK RESTAURANT Laura Bonicelli has patiently waited to open Bonicelli Kitchen

Eric Best / [email protected]

For years Laura Bonicelli has searched for a home for her meal delivery business. Now, after a few trials and tribulations, the chef has found a permanent kitchen to serve her beloved cooking — it’ll even have her name on it.

Bonicelli will open her full-service restau-rant, Bonicelli Kitchen, this summer on Central Avenue on the edge of the Windom Park neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis. Opening the restaurant — also the kitchen for her Bonicelli Fresh Meal Delivery busi-ness — has been a long process, following several relocations, a failed business deal and a successful Kickstarter.

Bonicelli began her meal delivery business almost nine years ago, cooking her eclectic mix of Mediterranean and other dishes for an equally eclectic mix of customers.

While she’s had to artificially limit her customers (not advertising, etc.) to keep up with demand, Bonicelli said her dozens of at-home diners have been a mix of seniors, professional athletes (“on every major team”), and cancer patients — even politicians. Her first long-term customer was Mark Dayton, whom she cooked for until he became governor, she said.

“He made it real because I didn’t really have any choice to quit,” she laughed.

Bonicelli has basically operated a full-service restaurant, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner to meal delivery customers, out of kitchens she had to share. She’s bounced around between kitchens in St. Paul, south Minneapolis and Kindred Kitchen in North Minneapolis. Without her own space, business was limited.

“The biggest challenge in past years was where I cook,” she said.

Last year Bonicelli moved forward with her restaurant plans, eventually opening a Kick-starter to build momentum and get a financial boost. She had found a location on Fillmore Street in Windom Park. After getting support from more than 250 backers, Bonicelli hit her crowdfunding goal with just a couple hours left. “This is the happiest update in the history of Kickstarter!” Bonicelli wrote to her supporters at the time.

But, months later, the deal went south and owners of the property weren’t able to hold up the lease. Her tone had changed.

“This has been a tumultuous several

months. It has felt like our livelihoods were hanging in the balance and every week we would receive some new piece of the puzzle that made it look more and more like this wasn’t going to work,” she wrote in a state-ment.

But 2016 has gone differently for Bonicelli Kitchen so far. Bonicelli found a new loca-tion for the restaurant on Central Avenue in Windom Park, just blocks away from the previous location. The space at 1839 Central Ave. NE has an outdoor garden fronting the road, room for her delivery business and a

kitchen she won’t have to share. It’s also a one-minute drive from the Northeast Minne-apolis resident’s house.

“We’re just feeling really blessed. 2015 was a rough year and then to wind up in a better spot with a fully done kitchen and all of the equipment — except for my gelato maker — it’s kind of a miracle,” she told The Journal.

In the restaurant, Bonicelli plans to serve wraps, muffins, scones, soups, salads and sand-wiches through counter and table services. Bonicelli Kitchen will also transition with a wine bar in the late afternoon with small plates. On weekends the restaurant will have larger, more formal brunches.

She said the food is made from scratch with as many local, organic and seasonal ingredi-ents as possible.

“[My food] will always have a lot of Italian, French and Mediterranean notes to it, but I love Indian food, I love Thai food, so I’m kind

of inspired by what the seasons bring and what I feel like eating actually,” she said.

But diners should count on finding some surprises on the menu.

“We were just having a conversation yesterday with one of the people who came in who said ‘there’s no pho on Central.’ I was like ‘maybe there will be,’” she said.

When it opens this July, Bonicelli Kitchen will have living walls with herbs and micro-greens growing amid diners. Bonicelli said she’s also excited about baking her own crois-sants, a three-day process that she’s learning as she goes.

Even if you’ve never had a Bonicelli-made meal over the years, the chef has given diners opportunities to taste of her cooking. Bonicelli Kitchen opened its outdoor garden with a select small plate, wine and beer menu during Art-A-Whirl weekend.

But with a permanent home for her cooking, Bonicelli is set to cook for plenty of new diners, no delivery necessary. The chef, who’s already cooked thousands of meals for the Twin Cities community, has had all the practice she needs.

“It’s the next step for me,” Bonicelli said.

Senior Partners Care Eliminates Medicare Out of Pocket Costs Senior Partners Care (SPC) is one of the best kept secrets in Minnesota. If you are currently enrolled in Medicare, or will be starting soon, please keep reading. Senior Partners Care is not insurance. It is a community based program that enables Minnesota Medicare recipients to access the medical care they need. This program bridges the financial gap between their medical bills and their Medicare coverage. SPC has partnered with most of the major metropolitan area hospitals and hundreds of clinics and providers statewide. These healthcare providers (SPC Partners) have agreed to accept Medicare as full payment for Medicare covered expenses. They waive the Medicare deductibles, coinsurance, and copayments.

315 1ST AVE. NELENNAR MULTIFAMILY COMMUNITIES

NordHausWhile plans for an official groundbreaking have been pushed back until mid-June, Lennar Multifamily has quietly released more details about its 20-story project going in at the former Superior Plating site. Peter Chmielewski, vice president of development with Lennar, told The Journal that the 280-unit apartment building will be branded as NordHaus, taking cues from the city’s Scandinavian and German influences. More than 22,000 square feet of retail space is being marketed by CBRE. Site work has been going since earlier this year to prepare the site for construction.

200 CENTRAL AVE. SEALATUS

200 CentralAfter the Heritage Preservation Commission rejected Alatus’ 40-story condominium tower project, the Minneapolis-based developer is appealling the decision to the City Council’s Zoning and Planning Committee. The project faced a couple setbacks with a petition for an environmental assessment worksheet and rejection from the HPC, though it has approved the demolition of historic buildings the Washburn-McReavy Funeral Chapel and the St. Anthony Athletic Club. The Minneapolis-based developer is proposing to build a tower with more than 200 condos, a Ryan Burnet restaurant and other commercial space. Chris Osmundson with Alatus said they will still be able to break ground this year.

805 8TH ST. SECPM COMPANIES

Spectrum Apartments*CPM Companies has shifted its plans for a stretch of Marcy-Holmes it had originally planned to be a two-phase, 180-unit

apartment project targeting students. The developer submitted preliminary plans to the City Planning Commission Committee of the Whole for its May 26 meeting that show three buildings. The proposal calls for a five-story “L”-shaped building with 98 units and two three-story buildings with five and 11 four-bedroom townhomes. As part of the project CPM would demolish several homes and an industrial building currently on the site. A majority of the apartment building will consist of “junior suite” units with rents below $1,000 per month.

721 N. 1ST ST.SOLHEM COMPANIES

721 1stThe latest proposal from prolific local housing developer Solhem Companies has drawn criticism from Acme Comedy Company due to parking issues, among other concerns, it could face if the project was built. The landmark comedy club claims that the eight-story, 124-unit project, proposed for a nearby surface parking lot, would hinder guests’ ability to park and has started a petition against the proposal. The City Planning Commission continued the proposal to its June 27 meeting, which will include an opportunity for public comments, in order to accommodate an appeal regarding the project.

121 12TH AVE. S.SHAMROCK DEVELOPMENT

LegacyJim Stanton’s 374-unit condo project, Legacy, has made its way through the City Planning Commission. The project, planned for the site of a vacant surface parking lot and the vacant Cenveo Building in Downtown East, has changed shape, growing in height to 17 stories and tapering off to eight stories and then to 14 stories. The developer broke up the initial massing of the 14-story Legacy after response from the neighborhood and city planning staff. Shamrock has begun demolition on the site

to prepare it for construction.

861 HENNEPIN AVE. E.THE ACKERBERG GROUP

Miller Textile Building*The Ackerberg Group is redeveloping the Miller Textile Building in Northeast Minneapolis for retail and creative office tenants. The warehouse building complex, which was once home to the Miller Bag company, is being completely renovated with new plumbing, HVAC and more to prepare it for modern users. Once finished, the nearly 50,000-square-foot building will have retail and hospitality space on the first level and creative office and warehouse space throughout the rest of the building. Minneapolis-based firm RoehrSchmitt Architecture is handling the project’s design. The work is slated for completion in June.

815-827 6TH ST. S.FIRST COVENANT CHURCH

CHDC Workforce housingFirst Covenant Church, Ryan Companies and Community Housing Development Corp. (CHDC) have been working for more than a year to build a six-story affordable housing project on a downtown surface parking lot near U.S. Bank Stadium. The development team submitted preliminary plans to the City Planning Commission’s Committee of the Whole and were on the body’s May 26 agenda. The current project calls for a six-story, 154-unit building of affordable housing with approximately 12,500 square feet of commercial space. After a land swap with Hubert’s Café and Sports Bar, the church will own the entire block, according to the plans. The proposed project would have 135 underground

stalls for paid commercial parking and 53 surface spots for accessory parking for the church and retail tenants.

600 1ST AVE. N.CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS

Target Center renovationWork has begun this season on the first improvements of the nearly $129 million overhaul of the Target Center. This season, crews will be enhancing the venue’s scoreboard, suites and acoustics while it remains open. The current construction schedule calls for exterior work, a new loading dock and other improvements to take place between this fall and next summer. The Target Center will shutdown following that work so crews can build out a new lobby, locker rooms, dressing rooms, restrooms and additional club spaces. Construction is slated to wrap up in the fall of 2017.

900 5TH ST. S.MINNESOTA SPORTS FACILITIES AUTHORITY

U.S. Bank StadiumThe Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority unveiled plans to bring the city’s top food talents, including Andrew Zimmern and Spoon and Stable chef Gavin Kaysen, to U.S. Bank Stadium’s concessions. Aramark, the MSFA’s hospitality and dining services provider, also announced Ike’s Food & Cocktails and Revival will join the stadium’s food lineup. Zimmern will have two Andrew Zimmern’s Canteen locations, along with an AZC Hoagies partnership with Kaysen to bring Italian sandwiches to the stadium. The MSFA also announced a schedule for year-round public tours — tickets went on sale May 26 — and open houses July 23-24.

St. Anthony Falls Visitor CenterThe National Park Service will be operating the visitor center at the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam seven days a week between Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend. The lock closed last spring after more than 50 years in service. The area is set to see major redevelopment through Water Works under the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board’s RiverFirst initiative. Water Works is a multi-step effort to add a visitor center, build new trail connections and restore historic infrastructure near the riverfront. Construction is expected to begin next year, but possibly sooner, with the selective demolition of the Fuji-Ya building.

A JOURNAL COMMITMENT TO HIGHLIGHTING GREAT COMMUNITY CAUSES

Open Arms of Minnesota

Open Arms provides food for people facing life-threatening illnesses

What you can doVolunteer with the organization or in its urban garden. There’s a variety of tasks for volunteers, from cooking to baking and art work.

Donate at its website or through a workplace program, or donate supplies (fi nd a list of needs at openarmsmn.org/donate/donatesupplies.)

Purchase boxed lunches, which cost $12 each. “Every time you buy, it provides a meal for clients,” Hebert said.

Meals for healingBeth Kantor of Plymouth was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis about � ve years ago, a� er years of debilitating fatigue. � e disease sometimes le� her so tired that she was unable to even turn her head, let alone make dinner for her four kids.

Kantor turned to Open Arms of Minnesota when she relapsed with the disease about four years ago. � e nonpro� t provided her family with fresh meals.“� e meals made me feel loved,” Kantor said. “It made me feel not alone. It wasn’t just nourishment for my body.”Open Arms has provided fresh meals to people like Kantor for 30 years, helping them stay independent during times of sickness. � e organization delivered

nearly half a million meals to people with cancer, Lou Gehrig’s disease, MS and HIV/AIDS and their caregivers in 2015, all at no cost to them.“It’s life changing,” Kantor said. “It’s life saving, and the impact it has on this community is humbling.”University of Minnesota professor Bill Rowe founded Open Arms of Minnesota 30 years ago. He began by cooking food for friends with AIDS who became

too sick to cook for themselves, and by 1997, he was serving 100 people a day.“I think he felt helpless in the face of a very large problem,” executive director Leah Hebert said. “It was an act of kindness

that just grew and grew.”� e organization expanded to serving people with other diseases in the mid-2000s and moved into its current building in

2010. It has since expanded to o� er community-supported agriculture (CSA) shares and nutrition therapy to clients.“It’s still about comfort, but we have much more of a nutritional focus as well,” Hebert said.Executive chef Steven Howard said his team focuses on cooking foods that o� er people comfort, adding that people with

certain diseases can be sensitive to spices. He makes sure the meals are nutritionally balanced and limits � avors such as black pepper, chili and paprika.

“Anything spicy can have a real metallic � avor,” Howard said. “We try to be careful about not adding discomfort.”Volunteers deliver meals to clients once a week around the lunch hour. Clients are eligible to receive meals for up to six

weeks a� er they � nish their treatment.Hebert said Open Arms plays an important role in keeping people independent during times of sickness. She noted how

grateful clients are to receive meals and added she’s been amazed at the passion of the organization’s volunteers.“People come here [to volunteer] and have a tangible impact,” Hebert said. “You know [you] did something that’s going to

a� ect someone’s life, and that’s powerful.”� at positive energy could be seen on a recent April a� ernoon as volunteers baked cookies and prepared chicken and Brussels sprouts.Creighton Fricele, a volunteer of nine years, prepped the Brussels sprouts alongside volunteer Jenni Wild. He said he likes Open Arms of Minnesota’s mission

and sta� , adding that he appreciates the variety of the volunteer work.“It’s just a fun place to volunteer for a couple hours a week,” he said.Longtime volunteer Dennis Louie � rst encountered the organization at a gay pride festival in 1993 and began volunteering within the week.“I was put in charge of making a vinaigre� e salad dressing and I was in heaven!” Louie said in an email. “Twenty-three years later, I am still loving it.”Rowe died this past spring, and Louie said Rowe would be proud of what the organization has become.“If the need is there, Open Arms is there to help,” Louie said. “It doesn’t get be� er or more generous than that.”

Ask the Nurse / By Michelle Napral

IS THAT SPRING IN THE AIR? OR DO I HAVE

A SINUS INFECTION?

Voices

Q: I’ve been miserable for a week, both indoors and out, with congestion

and a headache. How do I know if I’m developing allergies or a sinus infection?

It can be tricky to distinguish between an allergic reaction and sinus infection, especially this time of year. The two condi-tions have overlapping symptoms and are extremely common.

Seasonal allergies, also called hay fever, affect up to 30 percent of people in the United States. Beyond their burden on the body, allergies also burden the economy. The financial burden for allergy treatment has nearly doubled from 2000 to 2005, increasing from $6.1 to $11.2 billion dollars annually.

Before you’re able to determine whether you’re ailing from a sinus infection or hay fever, it’s important to know more about why allergies occur. Most people breathe in substances like pollens, pet dander and mold spores without a problem. But, for the people with some type of allergy, the immune system treats these substances as if they’re harmful to the body, causing allergic

reactions. The body then increases mucus production in the nose, which causes the nasal passages to swell and narrow.

What do allergies feel like?

Symptoms include sneezing, a stuffy or runny nose with clear discharge, headache, nasal itching, postnasal drip, cough, itchy eyes or ears, sore throat, trouble sleeping, headache and fatigue.

If you have seasonal allergies, keep your car and home windows closed when pollen counts are high. If possible, use an air conditioner. In severe cases, you might even consider wearing a filter mask when doing yard work, and showering before bed to decrease contact with allergens.

It’s impossible to avoid triggers all the time and symptoms are bound to occur. When this happens, most people respond well to nose rinses, steroid and non-steroidal nasal spray, antihistamine medica-tion and decongestants. Certain cases may require immune therapy or allergy shots.

How is a sinus infection different? Sinus infections, on the other hand, occur when the body has foreign bacteria in the sinus cavity. They sometimes stem from poorly managed allergies, when fluid is trapped in swollen sinuses and bacteria is allowed to accumulate. Unlike aller-gies, sinus infections are accompanied by yellow or green discharge from the nose, pain in the teeth and pressure in the face that often feels worse when a person bends forward. Some people may also have a fever and aches, which are not typically associated with allergies.

Sinus infection symptoms usually improve in seven to 10 days. For patients who visit our clinic, we recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers, rinsing their nose and sinuses with salt water a few times a day, and drinking plenty of liquids to promote sinus drainage. Nasal sprays also help, as do vaporizers. To ease congestion, patients can use an expecto-rant containing guaifenesin during the

day, which will help loosen mucus. These measures not only relieve symptoms, but can dislodge the bacteria-causing infection. For painful areas of the face, it’s helpful to apply heat.

Most of the time, these infections do not need to be treated with antibiotics, but some people with sinusitis will need to be treated with antibiotics, especially if symp-toms do not improve after 10 days. If your symptoms last more than 10 days, or if your symptoms get better at first but then get worse, consider seeing your health care provider.

By identifying which condition is trou-bling you, you’ll be able to address symp-toms faster and, with any luck, get back to normal activities.

EXPLORE LYNDALE: FIRST OPEN STREET

OF 2016

Voices

It’s free, dog-friendly, kid-friendly, there’s a variety of entertainment and most anything you might want to

eat or drink. It is Open Streets Lyndale, happening Sunday, June 5 between 22nd and 42nd Streets, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Lyndale is the first of eight Open Streets events planned this summer. Open Streets take place on weekends throughout the summer when busy corridors of the city are closed to motorized traffic and people come out to play. These are City of Minneapolis events, hosted by Minne-apolis Bicycle Coalition and presented by the Center for Prevention at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota. By slowing down the street to human pace, the goal is to give residents the opportunity to “rethink our streets as public spaces.”

While Lyndale will move slower, it won’t lack for activity. Here’s a preview of what’s in store.

• Listen to music featured in the sixth LynLake Street Festival, 12-8 p.m. in the parking lot behind the Jungle Theater and Fuji Ya Restaurant. Musicians include: sloslylove, Warehouse Eyes, Zuluzuluu, Al Church, Birthday Suits, Gramma’s Boyfriend, Sean Anonymous and Brother Ali. There will be bike parking, eight food vendors and beer from Summit Brewing Company. Tip for beer and the money goes to support Joyce Food Shelf. There is no charge to attend. The festival is a “gift” to residents and patrons of local busi-nesses from the LynLake area businesses, according to John Meegan, the Chair of the LynLake Business Association and tailor at Top Shelf.

• Try mas-wrestling — imagine a seated game of tug-of-war — or try lifting “The Inch,” a dumbbell provided by The Movement Minneapolis, a gym located at Lyndale and 21st Street. Those who

successfully stand up with “The Inch” win $100. The Movement Minneapolis will be located at 36th and Lyndale inside the “wellness zone,” which will also feature programs and services like Hennepin County Child & Teen Check-up and City of Minneapolis Election & Voter Services.

• Watch little kids on bikes do backflips and other astounding tricks during the Penn Cycle BMX show hosted at 40th Street and Lyndale.

• Learn to skateboard through lessons provided by 3rd Lair Skatepark — located in Golden Valley — and City of Skate, a coalition working to design and develop world-class skateparks in the Twin Cities. Find skateboarding lessons between 33rd and 34th Streets among other activities for kids. Other highlights of the “kids zone” will include the Minneapolis Toy Library and Simple Joy Arts: Henna & Face Painting.

• Ride in the bike rodeo, an event aimed at helping kids learn about traffic safety and practice bicycling skills like signaling and starting effectively, presented by the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota. The bike rodeo will be at 41st and Lyndale.

• Pet the potbellied pigs, alpacas, chickens and other animals from Walton’s Hollow. The farm is bringing a petting zoo featuring 45 animals to the parking lot of Bethlehem Lutheran Church at Lyndale and 41st Street. There will also be live music performed by What’s Next and Miss Myra and the Moonshiners. Water, restrooms and an area for nursing mothers will be available in the Beth-lehem parking lot. Tangletown Bike Shop will be on site providing simple repairs. The church plans to sell hot dogs and hamburgers. Proceeds will go to support Zoom House, an apartment building for

families struggling with homelessness. All activities at Bethlehem are free. Wendy Osman, Director of Volunteer and New Member Ministry at Bethlehem, said she’s looking forward to “making connections to the community.”

Open Streets events are better experi-enced than described. Come join the fun on Sunday and get to know the people, businesses and organizations that make

Lyndale much more than an expanse of concrete.

Story and photos by Janelle Nivens

On Saturday, May 7 in New York City, a group of people known as Shorewalkers hit the trails along the shoreline of Manhattan for The Great Saunter, a 32-mile epic urban hike. Someday I will join them, but this year I decided to walk in solidarity and complete a 32-mile walk in Minneapolis. Since I’ve already walked the Grand Rounds loop (the route I’d recommend if I organized an official event), I decided to set out for the day without a predetermined route.

6-11:30 a.m.Starting at Bryant Avenue South & West Minnehaha Parkway, I walked along the Minnehaha Creek and followed the Grand Rounds trail on the eastern edge of Lake Harriet, Bde Maka Ska (Lake Calhoun), and Lake of the Isles. After a detour at Isles Bun & Coffee, I walked around Lake of the Isles and met my husband Scott at 35th Street South & Bryant Avenue South. Together, we walked east and after a pit stop at Midtown Global Market, we walked around Powderhorn Lake.

Walking solo again, I walked east on 26th Street and made a lemonade stand stop at Whittier Community Center. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of the day as the parents of the children were friends of mine and talking to them for a few minutes gave me greater confidence that I could make my goal of walking 32 miles.

I intended to walk to the Minneapolis Institute of Art and explore that area but as I was settling into my Zen walking, I overshot it and next thing I knew I was downtown near Hyatt Regency where AniMinneapolis was being held. This was another wonderful happenstance of my wandering walk. The next time there is a cosplay convention in town I’m going to camp out near the event and soak up all that fun energy.

Normally, I love walking along Nicollet Mall but the construction was killing my vibe so I tried to hurry through downtown to the Mississippi River. I did make one stop at the Minneapolis Visitor Informa-tion center to pick up a couple of maps to help me strategize for my 40-mile walk in a couple of weeks.

I made my way to the Mississippi River and crossed the Stone Arch Bridge where flocks of young men and women in formal wear were posing for awkward photos with the Minneapolis skyline as the backdrop. I continued to the University of Minne-sota campus and back to the Mississippi River and followed the Grand Rounds trail all the way to Minnehaha Falls Park. I met Scott and our dog Stewie there in hopes of having a celebratory beer and fish taco at Sea Salt Eatery. THAT LINE. I wasn’t having it after walking 32 miles so we grabbed a pint of Ben & Jerry’s on the way home and called it good.

ArtistsI couldn’t contain my excitement when I spotted Don Holzschuh painting near an alley at 35th Street and Emerson Avenue South. At first glance I thought I was catching John Sauer in the act of painting an alley for 100 Alleys. I went up and introduced myself and we covered a wide range of topics in our short chat. When I told him that I was on a long walk, he told me that he hates driving. In the next breath he said, “I drive a truck to support my art habit.”

En route to the Opening Day Food Truck Fest at Midtown Farmers Market, we visited Pioneers & Soldiers Memorial Cemetery. We had a phone-charging emergency so we also stopped at Target. This is not an advised detour on a joyful saunter but I digress. When we finally arrived at the Food Truck Fest, the lines were too long for my patience level so we continued our walk to Harriet Brewing at which point I was getting hangry and their lack of food truck dictated that we move on. As we turned the corner onto Lake Street, the lights of the Le Town Talk Diner sign led us inside for a wonderful brunch. Believe me, I’ve already thought about how I could have waited in line at the Food Truck Fest in the amount of time it took for us to land at Le Town Talk.

Since Scott thought he only had a few more miles in him, we decided to wander west toward our home. We chose LynLake Brewery as our next stop so we could have a beer together before going our separate ways for the rest of the day. To get there, we walked along the Midtown Greenway where we cheered on Bike MS riders and witnessed a person driving a car on the pedestrian and bike trails. After a couple of beers on the LynLake Brewery rooftop, we walked to 26th Street where Scott hopped on a bus and I went east.

“That (night) really just drove home the fact of the variability in the intensity of

weather, which is one of the side effects of climate change,” he said.

Dietz and the rest of the festi-val’s organizers were inspired to

dedicate the next two Northern Sparks to the issue of climate change. Dubbed “Climate Chaos | Climate Rising,” the project kicks off June 11 with this year’s all-nighter and concludes with what is planned to be the biggest

Northern Spark ever on June 10, 2017.It’s a topic bigger than two

nights of dusk-to-dawn art can contain, so Northern Spark is breaking

the mold. Many of the projects that kick off this June will continue throughout the next year through ongoing art and citizen science programs, a dinner series and several “minisparks,” Dietz said.

In 2017, Northern Spark will follow the Metro Transit Green Line path between Minneapolis and St. Paul, but this year the festival is concentrated in just two locations: the riverfront area near Mill Ruins Park and the Minneapolis Convention Center. Almost all of the projects (with the exception of a few projects booked before the theme emerged) use art to engage the tens of thou-sands of festival-goers in thinking about a changing climate.

Melting

In December, artist Olafur Eliasson and geologist Minik Rosing harvested 12 chunks of iceberg from a Greenland fjord and trans-ported them to Paris, where the United Nations was hosting a climate change confer-ence. As world leaders negotiated to limit global warming to less than 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the massive ice blocks, arrayed in the shape of a watch dial, melted in a public square.

Eliasson and Rosing’s message was muddied, though, when questions were raised about the emissions required to pull off the project — which an environmental charity calculated to be approximately 30 tons of carbon dioxide. “Phase Change” should avoid the criticisms that dogged “Ice Watch Paris,” since the six tons of ice harvested for the Northern Spark installation travelled no further than Lake Calhoun to the Minneapolis riverfront, where they’re waiting out the spring heat in an insulated enclosure.

“Phase Change” is a project of Futures North, a group comprised of two architects and two conceptual artists. Team member Molly Reichert said they were searching for a way to not just visualize the effects of climate change, but to allow people to feel it.

Once the ice is arranged in a sculptural installation for Northern Spark, Reichert and Futures North plan to aim 30 heat lamps at the wall. The lamps will be programmed with climate change data, so that portions of the installation melt at different rates repre-senting different climate change scenarios — from best-case to our current trajectory, which climate scientists say could melt enough polar ice to swamp many of the plan-et’s coastal cities by the end of this century.

Reichert said another inspiration for the project was her friendship with environ-mentalist and polar explorer Will Steger, who harvests ice near his home in the North Woods and uses it to cool his root cellar year round. Youth from the nonprofit Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy will be on hand to talk with visitors and help interpret the ice installation.

Making it personal

Can melting 12,000 pounds of ice to make a point about climate change actually make a difference? Can any art, for that matter?

“This question is so interesting to me because we had this discussion in my class over and over again,” said Christine Baeumler, a member of the art department

faculty at the University of Minnesota. This year, Baeumler partnered with colleagues from the science department to teach an interdisciplinary course on climate change and art that was part of the university’s new Grand Challenge Curriculum.

“I never say that art alone can change the world, but very few things on their own have changed the world,” she said. “This is my theory of change: It’s about these different ways of knowing coming together and inspiring people to make change.”

The course’s blending of art and science spawned two Northern Spark projects, including “Backyard Phrenology.” This year’s festival is really just the start of what Baeumler said would be a year-long citizen science project, which will come to fruition for Northern Spark 2017.

“Phrenology is the cycles and patterns in nature, and it relates to when buds burst or birds migrate, and a lot of those patterns are linked to the climate, of course,” Baeumler said.

As climate changes, those patterns can shift, which makes phrenology of particular interest in an era of climate instability. Paying attention to those changes in your own backyard is one way to gain a deeper understanding of how climate change is reshaping the planet.

The Northern Spark project developed by students from Baeumler’s class also invites participants to think not just about how climate change affects them on a personal level, but how each individual contributes to climate change. “Surrender: What are We Willing to Lose?” challenges visitors to contemplate those tradeoffs and measure their personal stake in combatting global warming.

Art alone won’t solve this global crisis, but in her optimistic moments, Baeumler said, she believes it can spark change.

“Art is a catalyst, in a sense, for greater awareness and consciousness,” she said.
