After a bitter lockout, the Minnesota Orchestra
is set to make up lost time this season
Orchestra finds
‘A Grand New Beginning’
BY ERIC BEST
Osmo Vänskä and the Minnesota Orchestra have returned to Orchestra Hall
to open its first season since a 15-month lockout.
The opening weekend, titled “A Grand New Beginning,” proved fitting for a
bruised orchestra under new management.
Musicians and orchestra board members signed a three-year deal in January
after more than 15 months of negotiations over compensation and the orchestra’s deficit. The orchestra’s former CEO and president, Michael Henson,
stepped down in August per the requests of the musicians and Vänskä.
Henson’s successor, Kevin Smith, began in July, and has already struck a
chord with musicians and fans.

urging city to invest in for Clean Energy
affordable housing
Partnership
BY SARAH MCKENZIE [email protected]
A group of community organizations has mobilized a campaign to lobby for $20 million for
affordable housing in the city’s 2015 budget.
The funding would include $15 million for
the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund, $3
million for senior housing and $2 million for
home ownership programs, said Heidi Johnson
McAllister of the Downtown Congregations to
End Homelessness.
The city’s residential building boom has
created a new supply of luxury rentals, but
affordable places to live are increasingly hard to
come by in Minneapolis.
Groups lobbying for the $20 million
for affordable housing include Habitat for
Humanity, the Alliance for Metropolitan
Stability, the Metropolitan Consortium of
Community Developers, the League of Women
Voters-Minneapolis, the Downtown Congregations to End Homelessness and Beacon Interfaith Housing Collective.
McAllister said campaign organizers
have met with all 13 City Council members
and have been in talks with Mayor Betsy
Hodges’ office.

A City Council committee voted Oct. 6
to approve tentative agreements with Xcel
Energy and CenterPoint Energy to create a
new Clean Energy Partnership — a unique
collaboration designed to help Minneapolis
reach its environmental goals.
Deputy City Coordinator Jay Strobel said
the partnership is the first of its kind in the
nation and has the potential to be a “transformative agreement” for the city.
The City Council’s Health, Environment
& Community Engagement Committee
approved terms of the partnership after a
public hearing. The full Council will vote on
the partnership agreements Oct. 17.

State lawmakers raise new concerns
about increased oil train traffic
Transportation Committee Chairs Sen. Scott
Dibble and Rep. Frank Hornstein, along with
several other state legislators, have sent a letter
to the Surface Transportation Board expressing
concerns about the impact of increased oil train
traffic on passenger trains.
“In the wake of increased freight train traffic
through Minnesota from the Bakken oil fields in
North Dakota, we are concerned not only about
the safety of our constituents, but also the loss
of economic development opportunity to the
state,” they wrote.
They pointed to Amtrak’s Empire Builder
as one route facing significant delays as a
result of the spike in oil shipments. As of June
2014, Amtrak reported a 15 percent drop in
passengers on the Empire Builder because of
the delays and estimated monthly losses of $1
million.
“Given that commercial air or bus service
operating on the same route as the Empire
Builder is inadequate, this route is vital to the
transportation interests of our state and nation,”
they wrote.
Dibble and Hornstein held a joint House
and Senate hearing Sept. 30 to explore the rail
congestion problem. Representatives of businesses depending on trains to transport their
goods along with rail officials testified.
According to a Session Daily article, Brian
Sweeney, regional vice president of state government affairs for BNSF Railway, said oil trains
aren’t the only factor in the increased congestion.
“We are not prioritizing oil trains,” he said.
Increased oil train traffic has resulted in delays for passenger trains.
“Everybody’s service has suffered.”
Hornstein has also been pushing for rail
companies to implement stronger public safety
measures and environmental review protocols.
Under current law, the public doesn’t have
the right to call a freight company and ask
what cargo is being transported in train cars.
The issue has become a greater concern for
Minneapolis residents given that Southwest
Light Rail trains will be co-located next to
freight train traffic.
“People in the Kenilworth Corridor can’t just
call the railroad company and ask what is in that
train car,” he said.
Hornstein is pushing for greater transpar-
ency and requirements that oil companies
agree to speedy cleanup plans in the event of a
derailment.
During the 2014 session, Hornstein championed legislation that required train companies
to create safety plans and coordinate with local
first responders on action plans to prepare for
potential accidents. It also increased the number
of state rail inspectors and set aside money to
upgrade rail grade crossings.
Funding for the first responder training and
grade crossings will come from an annual assessment on rail and pipeline companies.

Fire Dept.
facing
spike in
injuries
The Minneapolis Fire Department has experienced an increase in injuries among firefighters — a trend putting financial pressure
on a department facing other staffing challenges as more firefighters are approaching
retirement.
Minneapolis Fire Chief John Fruetel said
the department’s Worker’s Compensation
costs for injured firefighters have reached $2.4
million, nearly doubling since 2011, during a
presentation before the City Council’s Ways
& Means Budget Subcommittee Oct. 2.
Many of the injuries are related to EMS
calls, he said. Some firefighters have had back
injuries related to lifting heavy individuals.
“It is a challenge,” he said. “We are seeing
those numbers go up.”
As of July, the Fire Department had 376
firefighters and 19 in training, but more than
20 were on leave because of injuries, he said.
To keep staffing levels up the department has
had to increasingly rely on paying firefighters
overtime. The department has spent $1.6
million on overtime costs in the past year,
Fruetel said.
When asked by City Council Member
Blong Yang about the ideal staffing level for
the department, Fruetel said he’d like to have
a minimum of 418 firefighters.

cleared a final hurdle. File photo

Lander Group’s proposed
apartments for 2320 Colfax
maneuver another roadblock
The Lander Group’s proposed four-story,
42-unit apartment development for 2320
Colfax Ave. S. — a block now home to the
Healy Orth House — has cleared another
hurdle at City Hall.
The City Council’s Zoning & Planning
Committee denied an appeal of several variances for the project, including one allowing
a reduction in the minimum parking spaces
required for the project.
The Lander Group is planning to have 32
parking spaces for the apartment building
— four less than the minimum required under
the zoning code. The Planning Commission approved that variance request along
with several others Aug. 25. The developer
is working to attract tenants who aren’t car
dependent to the project by including a transit
pass in monthly rent and planning bikefriendly amenities.
A group who appealed the Planning
Commission’s Aug. 25 actions suggested
the parking reduction would have a negative
impact on the Wedge and argued the new
development does not fit the historic character of the neighborhood.
Former City Council Member Meg Tuthill
(Ward 10) also weighed in at the public
hearing, urging Council members to grant the
appeal. She said the residents in the neighborhoods will be forced to deal with extra cars in an
area already short on parking spots, particularly
in the winter.
City Council Member Lisa Bender, the
new Ward 10 Council member and chair of
the Zoning & Planning Committee, said the
Wedge residents she talked to are split on the
parking issue.
However, she pointed to research indicating
changing demographic patterns, particularly
among millennials who are opting to go car less
in greater numbers.
Bender, who lives near the block slated for
the Lander project, said she chose to live in
the neighborhood based on its walkability and
proximity to high frequency bus routes.
Council President Barb Johnson (Ward 4)
was the only committee member to vote against
the denial of the parking variance appeal. She
said city leaders should be mindful of how
transportation decisions can shift over someone’s lifetime. “I am not a millennial,” she said.
The full Council approved the committee’s
action Oct. 3.
Earlier this year, the Council voted 10-2 to
allow the Lander Group to move ahead with
plans to demolish the Healy’s Orth House,
which currently serves as a rooming house for
low-income tenants.
The Council faced intense lobbying from
preservationists, including the DIY Network’s
Nicole Curtis of the “Rehab Addict” to save
the 1893-era home from the wrecking ball. The
Queen Ann-style home was designed by noted
Minneapolis architect T. P. Healy. FROM INJURIES / PAGE 2
time last year.
Mayor Betsy Hodges’ proposed 2015 budget
for the Fire Department is about $60.2 million,
a 1.5 percent increase from this year. It includes
$50,000 for an outreach program focused on
educating Minneapolis youth about the department, $400,000 in one-time funding to help with
training and recruitment of new firefighters and
$400,000 in ongoing funding for training of new
class of firefighters each year to help with attrition challenges.
The City Council is in the midst of reviewing
department budgets and will vote on adopting
the 2015 city budget in mid-December.
“We need more depth in the department,” he
said. “Right now we are out of balance.”
The Fire Department is also aging with the
average age of firefighters at 45. “We are very
susceptible to injury,” he said.
Fruetel said the department’s calls for
service is on the rise, too, as a result of the city’s
increasing population. According to his presentation to the Council, emergency calls have
increased from 32,165 in 2009 to 38,133 in 2013.
Calls are projected to rise to 40,000 by year’s end.
Firefighters have responded to emergency
events in five minutes or less 75.2 percent of
time this year, down from 78.7 percent of the

Mayo Clinic has opened its new state-of-theart sports medicine center in the Mayo Clinic
Square development next to the Target Center.
The former home of Block E is still under
heavy construction, but on the third floor the
22,000-square-foot clinic is open for business.
The clinic will help prevent, diagnose and rehabilitate injuries and offer training programs for
healthy athletes.
On the diagnostic side, the crown jewel
is the new GE 3T wide bore MRI machine,
which was first developed by researchers at the
University of Minnesota. It’s both wider and
quieter than previous MRI machines, and uses
the strongest magnet allowed by the Federal
Drug Administration.
Digital x-ray and ultrasound machines have
the ability to immediately upload images online,
allowing staff at Mayo’s Rochester headquarters
or elsewhere to examine them and offer medical
opinions in real time.
Orthopedic surgeons will work out of the
clinic, but no surgeries will be performed onsite.
On the training side, Mayo is partnering
with EXOS, an elite sports training company
that worked with half of this year’s NFL first
round draft picks and Germany’s World Cup
champion men’s soccer team. EXOS will offer
tailored workouts, nutrition consulting and
video analysis for a number of sports.
“We’re going to take the same methods and
training techniques we have used for some of
the world’s most elite athletes and apply them
for athletes from all walks of life,” said Jennifer
Noles with EXOS.
Mayo is also partnering with the Timberwolves and Lynx, and the clinic’s workout area
will eventually overlook the teams’ new practice
facility.
Mayo plans to use the clinic for residency and
training programs. Most of the exam rooms are
outfitted with two computers and two monitors
for medical students to follow along. Also, a lot
of the exam rooms are outfitted with extra long
tables designed to fit oversized Timberwolves
and Lynx players.
The clinic employs its own full-time staff of
strength coaches, athletic trainers, physicians,
radiologists, physical therapists and other
medical professionals, but personnel from its
massive Rochester campus will regularly come
up for visits.
“We have tens of thousands of Mayo Clinic
patients living in the Twin Cities, and we
wanted to come to them and give them better
access to our care,” said Jonathan Finnoff, the
new clinic’s medical director.

behind The Bachelor Farmer in its place.
Just before its third anniversary, the sons of
Gov. Mark Dayton announced their trendy men’s
clothing retailer will move from 200 N. 1st St. to
a space in the historic Hennepin Hotel building
at 204 N. 1st St. The new location will be roughly
double the size of its current home, allowing
more space to fill online orders and expand offerings from the Askov Finlayson brand.
The new café will feature a grab-and-go lunch
items, baked goods and coffee and tea. As part
of the construction, the alley between the two
neighboring buildings will be turned into a
pocket park for the public to enjoy.
Construction is expected to begin this
winter. Askov Finlayson’s new store is
expected to open next summer and the yet-tobe-named café next fall.

3-MEGAWATT SOLAR ARRAY
Officials predict airport energy savings will exceed $25-million cost of project
BY DYLAN THOMAS [email protected]
A 3-megawatt solar energy array atop two Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport parking ramps
could meet 20 percent of the airport’s peak energy
demand when it starts operating next year.
The $25.4-million project to install the array and
make other energy efficiency upgrades at the airport
will, over the coming decades, pay for itself and then
some, predicted Jeff Hamiel, executive director of
the Metropolitan Airport Commission. Construction on the array begins this fall, and it’s expected to
be supplying power to the airport in the “latter half
of 2015,” Hamiel said.
The array includes 8,700 individual solar modules
mounted on a frame on top of two parking ramps
near Terminal 1. As a part of the same project, the
airport is also replacing 7,750 light fixtures with
more-efficient LED bulbs and adding four electricvehicle charging stations to the 14 already available
in the parking areas.
The MAC hired Ameresco, a Massachusettsbased renewable energy company, to complete
the project. Ameresco President and CEO George
Sakellaris said they plan to hire more than 250 local
laborers for the job.

The Park Board is hosting a community
meeting about its plan to renovate an industrial riverfront property into a place to fi x and
store heavy machinery after it faced heavy
criticism from surrounding neighborhoods.
Park Board staff will listen to concerns from
residents who live near the property at 1720
Marshall St. NE and try to brainstorm solutions on Oct. 14, 6:30-8:00 p.m. at Eastside
Neighborhood Services, 1700 2nd St. NE.
The plan came up for board approval at
the Aug. 20 Park Board meeting, but after
more than 30 people testified against it
commissioners voted to table the proposal
until Nov. 5.
Critics of the $4 million plan are opposed
to new industrial uses along the riverfront
and say the project is too expensive and
will bring unwanted noise and trucks to the
neighborhood.
A narrow park along the Mississippi River
is included in the proposal, but residents say
it’s too small and secluded.

also review their work.
The goal is give utility customers more options
for how their energy is generated, increase
opportunities for renewable-energy programs
and come up with innovative solutions for the
city to decrease its dependence on fossil fuels to
generate energy.
A couple of priorities highlighted for
2015–2016 include establishing a community
solar garden and creating new energy efficiency
programs for multi-family housing.
The idea for the partnership came out of talks
between the city and the utilities as the current
franchise agreements with Xcel and CenterPoint
are set to expire at the end of this year. As part
of the franchise agreements, the utilities pay
the city a fee for use of the public right of way
along streets and alleys for distribution lines that
connect homes and businesses to utility services. The new franchise agreements would be
effective for a maximum of 10 years and give the
city the option to issue a 12-month termination
notice after five years if city leaders aren’t satisfied
with progress made toward the city’s environmental goals.
Earlier this year the nonprofit Center for
Energy and Environment recommended the city
renew its agreements with Xcel and CenterPoint
and came up with a series of recommendations
for ways to work toward achieving the city’s
energy goals. The Energy Pathways Study recommended the utilities report annually on energy
usage and reliability of service, among other
things. City Council Vice President Elizabeth
Glidden said she was thrilled how the partnership has come together and credited the Energy
Pathways Study for being an important roadmap
for negotiations on the new partnership.
“All eyes are on us now,” she said of the unique
arrangement between Minneapolis and the utilities. “I am really happy this is moving forward.
It’s a major accomplishment.”
City Council Member Lisa Bender (Ward
10) said she’s “deeply committed to the accountability piece on this.”
She praised the clean energy advocates who
pushed the issue front and center and applauded
the utilities for being willing to come to the table.
Council Member Cam Gordon, chair of the
Health Environment & Community Engagement Committee, called the agreement a “great
turning point” that could serve as a model for
other communities.
“The issue of our time is climate change,” he
said. “We have to change direction … and we
have to get there quickly.”
The city’s Climate Action Plan, adopted by the
City Council in 2013, outlines several environmental goals, including reducing citywide greenhouse gas emissions 15 percent by 2015 and 30
percent by 2025. The city also has an Energy
Vision that says the city will provide “reliable,
affordable, local and clean energy services” for
homes, businesses and institutions by 2040. Laura McCarten, a regional vice president for
Xcel Energy, commended city leaders for how
negotiations proceeded and said the utilities
gained important insights about the city.
She said over half of Xcel’s energy sources are
carbon free and the utility is the nation’s leader in
wind power. The company is on track to reduce
its greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2020,
she added.
Representatives of Community Power, a
grassroots group that evolved from the Minneapolis Energy Options campaign active during
the 2014 city election, also spoke in favor of the
partnership at the hearing. They said they will be
monitoring the progress of the partnership and
making sure utilities are held accountable.
Betty Tisel, a Kingfield resident who has solar
installed on her home, urged the Council to
make sure the advisory committee for the new
partnership also gives renters, senior citizens and
youth a seat at the table.
“Renewable energy shouldn’t be a luxury of
the few,” she said.

FROM AFFORDABLE HOUSING / PAGE 1
Hodges has proposed roughly $12 million
for affordable housing in the 2015 budget,
which includes funding for the Affordable
Housing Trust Fund and other programs, said
Ben Hecker, the mayor’s deputy chief of staff.
The funding level could fluctuate,
however, depending on the city’s allocation
from the federal Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) program.
The mayor’s proposed budget, which
calls for a 2.4 percent tax levy hike, is undergoing review by the City Council. Council
members will vote on adopting the budget
in mid-December.
McAllister said City Council Member
Jacob Frey (Ward 3) has been eager to push
for additional affordable housing dollars in
the 2015 budget.
“An economic boom like the present
should help the whole city — not just
those with granite counter tops and organic
fruit in the fridge,” Frey said in a statement
released by campaign organizers. “Our
neighborhoods should include a variety
of housing options and socio-economic
classes. These goals are not possible if every
apartment is going for $1,500 a month. If we
are serious about narrowing the opportunity
gap we need to put our money where our
mouth is, and that means making affordable
housing a priority in our budget.”
The Minneapolis Trends report for the
second quarter of 2014 listed the city’s
average monthly rent at $1,118 and the
vacancy rate at 3.5 percent.
A Minnesota Housing Partnership report
released in August indicated that 50 percent
of renters in Hennepin County spend more
than 30 percent of their income on rent and
about a quarter spend more than half of
their paycheck on housing.
Statewide, rents have increased 6 percent
News
Emanuel Apartments is a new supportive housing development downtown. The development of affordable housing hasn’t kept pace
with demand. Submitted photo
while renter incomes have dropped 17 percent.
Frey said he’d like to see more money put
into the Affordable Housing Trust Fund
that doesn’t come with restrictions. Much of
the funding for projects comes with various
requirements that can make it difficult for
developers to proceed with projects.
He also wants to see more affordable
housing in higher income areas outside
areas of concentrated poverty in North
Minneapolis where many subsidized units
are concentrated as a means to desegregate
the city.
He’s been working with Council Member
Lisa Bender (Ward 10) to explore inclusionary housing policies used in other parts
of the country to encourage the development of affordable housing options.
Inclusionary housing policies offer incen-
tives to developers who include affordable
housing units in market-rate projects. For
instance, the city could grant a developer’s
request to build taller than zoning allows in
exchange for requiring some units be rented
at affordable rates.
Since New York City started using inclusionary zoning, more than 4,400 affordable
housing units have been created, according to
a report by the Center for Housing Policy. In
Boston, similar policies have produced 1,070
affordable units as of September 2012.
Voters in Austin, Texas have gone even
further to encourage the development of
affordable housing by recently approving $65
million in bonding for new projects in the city.
The Minnesota Legislature approved
$100 million in state bonding for affordable
housing during the 2014 session, but housing
experts say even more will be needed to meet
the demand for low-cost housing.
Organizers of the $20 million for affordable homes campaign in Minneapolis
referenced a family of six living in a threebedroom, 1,000-square foot apartment
struggling to make ends meet.
Kenkeisha Warren and Tommy Stafford
earn minimum wage jobs and spend more
than 30 percent of their income on their
$950 monthly rent.
“It is hard to find a decent place to live
when rents are so high,” the couple said in a
statement. “We want to live in Minneapolis,
but we have seen it get harder to find a place
that we can afford.”
Schools Notebook
District proposes
4.5-percent levy hike
With an eye on increasing enrollment, Minneapolis Public Schools is planning a tax levy increase
of up to 4.5 percent that will fund renovations at
six buildings.
The School Board on Sept. 23 voted 6–3 to
approve the preliminary levy amount. If it passes
a final vote in December, the levy would raise an
additional $179.6 million for the district in the
2015–2016 school year.
About $155 million of those funds are targeted
to capital improvements at Southwest High
School, Seward Montessori School, Sanford
Middle School, the Wilder Complex that houses
the district’s online education program and other
offices, Franklin Middle School and Webster
Elementary School. The last two buildings on that
list are closed schools slated to reopen next fall.
Those plans could change, though, as the
district gets a clearer picture of its enrollment in
October.
The new programs at Franklin and Webster
were part of the five-year enrollment plan the
School Board approved last December. At the
time, the 34,000-student district was projecting
enrollment growth of about 10 percent over the
next five years, but Chief Operations Officer
Robert Doty said new enrollments this fall don’t
appear to be living up to that promise.
“We have not lost enrollment, but the growth
that was projected as of this point doesn’t look like
it’s materializing the way we anticipated,” Doty
told the School Board.
School districts across the state report their
official fall enrollment totals Oct. 1.
If the five-year enrollment plan was fully realized, it could add up to 4,800 new classroom
seats for Minneapolis students. It appears the
district may not need all of those seats, or at
least not as soon as was thought just last year.
Still, Doty urged the School Board to pass the
preliminary levy at the full amount to give
administrators the “flexibility” to deal with
whatever enrollment challenges arise.
“The 4.5-percent (levy hike) assumes that we
can do all six of those projects, but as we start to
look at where enrollment is actually coming in at,
it may be important for us to cancel or delay one
or more of those projects in this upcoming year
depending on enrollment,” Doty said.
The district held the levy flat last year. This year’s
proposed hike would increase taxes on a home
valued at $300,000 by $60.10 per year.
Casting one of three votes against the preliminary levy was Board Member Alberto Monserrate,
who noted the district’s levy increase was likely
to be higher than those pitched by Minneapolis
and Hennepin County. Monserrate suggested
the district levy for a lower amount and borrow, if
necessary, to cover school renovation costs.
“I don’t believe this is a good time to be
increasing taxes above the rate of everybody else,”
he said.
A vote on the final levy amount is scheduled for
the School Board’s Dec. 9 meeting. The district
plans community meetings on the levy, but had
not released a schedule as of late September.

Education Department
releases school ratings
Ten Minneapolis schools are among the
state’s lowest performers in terms of closing
the achievement gap, according to a Minnesota Department of Education report
released Oct. 1.
Those schools earned the “Priority” label
under the department’s Multiple Measurement Ratings, the local replacement for
the federal No Child Left Behind rating
system, meaning they rank in the bottom 5
percent of all the state’s high-poverty Title 1
schools in increasing student achievement.
The district’s “Priority” schools are concentrated in North Minneapolis (Bethune,
Jenny Lind, Lucy Laney, Elizabeth Hall,
Hmong International Academy and North
High School), and include three schools in
other parts of the city (Sheridan, Anishinabe Academy and Green Central).
In a statement released by the district,
Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson said the
results were not a surprise, adding that the
district continues to make changes to speed
improvement at those schools.
Another 17 district schools, plus some of
the contract alternative schools that serve
Minneapolis students, are listed in the “Focus”
category by the department of education.
They rank in the bottom 10 percent of Title 1
schools statewide and, like “Priority” schools,
are identified as needing more intensive
support from the state and district.
The district also had three of the highestperforming Title 1 schools in the state.
Northrop, Anthony and Patrick Henry High
School were all named “Reward” schools,
meaning they ranked in the top 15 percent of
schools serving high-poverty populations.
Kenny, Waite Park and Ramsey were
“Celebration Eligible” schools, ranking in the
top 25 percent statewide.
Multiple Measurement Ratings are based
on student performance on state standardized tests. The ratings attempt to measure not
just student proficiency on the tests but also
student growth and schools’ progress toward
closing the achievement gap. At the high
school level, graduation rate also counts
toward the rating.

SOUTHWEST LRT
Park Board votes to study light rail tunnel
Study could lay the groundwork for a lawsuit or make one unnecessary
BY DYLAN THOMAS [email protected]
A divided Minneapolis Park and Recreation
Board voted Oct. 1 to spend up to $500,000
studying a tunnel beneath the Kenilworth
Channel to carry light rail trains.
The Metropolitan Council planners leading
the nearly $1.7 billion Southwest Light Rail
Transit project had previously discarded that
option in favor of a bridge over the channel. The
resolution, passed on a 5–2 vote, states the bridge
“will fundamentally and permanently affect and
change park, recreation areas, and historic property” near the channel, which connects Cedar
Lake and Lake of the Isles.
The Park Board’s action could lay the groundwork for a future lawsuit by making the case that
a tunnel is a “feasible and prudent alternative” to
a bridge. That’s the standard for protecting parkland and historic sites set down in section 4(f) of
the Federal Transportation Act.
The resolution was a last-minute addition to
the board’s agenda. Parks Superintendent Jayne
Miller said it was first discussed in a meeting two
days earlier with Commissioner Meg Forney
(at-large) and Park Board President Liz Wielinski
(District 1). Also present were staff members
and two attorneys: Brian Rice, regular legal
counsel for the agency, and Byron Starns, who
was recently retained by the Park Board in case of
Southwest light rail litigation.
News
Commissioners Brad Bourn (District 6) and
Steffanie Musich (District 5) both voted against,
arguing that the Park Board was circumventing
the public process by not first going through
committee.
Bourn said he was ill at home and watching
the meeting on TV before discussion of the
resolution began. He rushed to the boardroom to
join the debate, urging his colleagues to delay the
vote until their Oct. 22 meeting.
“For the minimum of transparency and good
government on a $500,000 expenditure, I don’t
see how we can not do that,” he said.
Bourn also noted two commissioners, Annie
Young (at-large) and Jon Olson (District 2),
were absent.
But five other commissioners, who argued
there was no time to delay, won out.
“This is a very urgent matter that requires
immediate attention,” said Commissioner Scott
Vreeland (District 3).
Jennifer Ringold, manager of public engagement and city planning, said quick action would
get the Park Board and its constituents the
answers they want without causing serious delays
to the project, which recently entered the final
engineering stage. The results of the tunnel study
could be entered into an ongoing environmental
review of the project, making a lawsuit unneces-
sary, Ringold said.
Miller said the cost of the tunnel study will be
paid out of Park Board reserve funds.
“That’s a ball field,” Wielinski said of the
$500,000, adding that she was reluctant to
spend the money but saw no other option. She
expressed indignation that the Met Council, an
unelected body, had not satisfactorily vetted the
tunnel option.
“Unlike the Met Council, I have an election
certificate,” Wielinski said. “People went to the
polls and voted me in here.”
The Met Council released this statement
the morning after the meeting: “The Southwest Project Office invested 800 engineering
hours looking at tunnels under the channel
and presented that information to the Corridor
Management Committee in March 2014. The
committee did not direct the project office to
further evaluate or advance these designs.”
A majority of the committee’s members are
elected officials from Hennepin County and
cities on or near the 16-mile light rail route. In
April, they voted to approve a plan that had light
rail trains crossing the Kenilworth Channel on
a bridge but running through shallow, cut-andcover tunnels on either side of the waterway.
Before that vote, the committee considered
and rejected at least three different tunnel plans,
including a subway-style tunnel deep below the
Kenilworth Channel.
The so-called deep-bore tunnel had strong
support among those living close to the channel,
but it came with a big price tag. When the
committee set that option aside in 2013, its
estimated cost was $170 million–$180 million
greater than the two shallow tunnels connected
by a bridge.
Then, with just one week remaining before
the committee’s April 2 vote, Met Council engineers presented the committee two new tunnel
designs. Both were shallow tunnels that dove
deeper to run beneath the Kenilworth Channel,
but they varied in length.
They were estimated to cost $40 million–$80
million more than shallow tunnels connected
by a bridge and would have delayed the light rail
line’s opening by one year. The committee opted
to go over the Kenilworth Channel rather than
beneath it.
This summer, closed-door negotiations
between Minneapolis and the Met Council
eliminated the tunnel north of the waterway,
cutting $60 million from the total cost of the
project and preserving the 21st Street Station in
the Kenwood neighborhood. That station was
eliminated under a two-tunnel plan.
Green Digest
More organics drop-off sites opening
The city opened a third organics recycling drop-off site at Van Cleve Park Sept.
21 and plans to open three more by the
end of October.
The drop-off site at Audubon Park
in Northeast was scheduled to begin
accepting household organics Oct. 7.
Drop-off sites at Armatage and Whittier
parks in Southwest Minneapolis will open
later in October, said Minneapolis Recycling Coordinator Kellie Kish.
Just eight of Minneapolis’ more than
80 neighborhoods have curbside organic
waste recycling through a city pilot
program. It’s expected that the curbside
program will go citywide in 2015, but
the drop-off sites give eager household
recyclers an option for their organic waste
until then.
The first organics drop-off site opened
April 26 in Pearl Park. A second opened
in early August at the city’s South
Transfer Station near where Lake Street
runs beneath Hiawatha Avenue.
A survey of Pearl Park drop-off site users
showed they were driving or bicycling to
that location from 29 different Minneapolis neighborhoods, an indication that
there was strong demand for the service in
other parts of the city, Kish said.
She said the city doesn’t have solid
numbers on just how many people are
using the drop-off sites, but noted an
email list for the Pearl Park location had
575 individual addresses. When it first
opened, it was getting between 40 and 60
visits during any given three-hour period,
she added.
Most of those Pearl Park drop-off site
users were coming from single-family
households, according to a survey of visitors conducted earlier this year. But there
were a significant number of apartment
dwellers, as well, Kish said, and that has
implications for the city’s plans to expand
curbside organics pickup beyond the pilot
program.
Citywide curbside collection of organic
waste would eliminate the need for
drop-off sites, except that the city and
its contractor for residential recycling
services don’t serve large multi-family
residential buildings. In some areas with
lots of apartment buildings, there may
still be demand for a drop-off program
even after the expansion of curbside
pickup, Kish said.
The city is under pressure from
Hennepin County to get that curbside
program up and running soon.
In February, the county dropped
a longstanding request to burn more
trash at its downtown incinerator, the
Hennepin Energy Recovery Center. In
exchange, it demanded Minneapolis add
organics collection to its solid waste and
recycling services by the start of 2015.
If the city doesn’t follow through,
Hennepin County could withhold the
$864,000 per year in state funds for recy-
cling it passes on to Minneapolis.
A city study released in March indicated the program would cost at least
$3.5 million per year, adding $17.60 to
residents’ monthly solid waste and recycling fees. At the time, Solid Waste and
Recycling Director David Herberholz said
curbside organic recycling would likely
debut as an opt-in program, possibly in
the spring or summer.
Participation in the pilot program ranges
from about 30 to 50 percent of households
in the neighborhoods where it’s offered,
according to the city. Kish said participating households recycle roughly 7 to 13
pounds of organics per week.
Hours vary at the city’s drop-off locations, which will remain open all winter
long. For more information, including a
list of acceptable materials, go to minneapolismn.gov/solid-waste/organics.

Minneapolis
There’s nothing like a science fiction-themed,
live action role playing game — on bicycles
— to get people thinking critically about the
environment, right?
That’s the idea behind “Ruination: City of Dust,”
a game that challenges teams of up to six players
to imagine themselves as archaeologists exploring
Minneapolis in the year 2314, when the city is
nothing more than parched ruins. The teams have
to figure out what went wrong.
To put on “Ruination,” the Minnehaha Creek
Watershed District and the Minneapolis Park and
Recreation Board teamed with Northern Lights.
mn, the organization behind the Northern Spark
all-night summer art event. The game itself is
the work of Ken Eklund, a San Jose, Calif., based
game designer.
Northern Lights.mn Project Coordinator Ady
Olson said the goal is to make participants “think
critically about the city, about the environment
and about their surroundings.”
Up to 64 teams can join the game Oct. 18–19.
They’ll travel by bicycle along Minnehaha Creek to
gather clues, riding around 5 miles during the two
to three hours it will take to complete “Ruination,”
she said.

FROM ORCHESTRA / PAGE 1
“The orchestra is super-charged at this
point,” Smith said, “Working with the
musicians and staff has really changed the
dynamic.”
Smith, who retired in 2011 after 25 years
as president of the Minnesota Opera, has
experience turning around organizations
like the orchestra. During his tenure, the
Minnesota Opera grew its budget from $1.5
to $9 million, doubled its attendance and
made the Arts Partnership, a collaboration
with other top arts organizations in the
Twin Cities.
However, Smith said the orchestra has a
different culture, budget and size than the
Minnesota Opera. He and new staff are
playing catch-up to get to know the worldclass orchestra, but they’re making progress.
“Over all the trauma of the past few years,
there’s been a breakdown of communication,” Smith said.
Smith’s first priority has been establishing trust and communication between
musicians, administration and community
groups.
This collaborative spirit has led to musicians becoming involved with non-musical
activities like outreach and fundraising
more than they ever had before, he said.
Principal cellist Tony Ross, who chairs
the orchestra’s artistic advisory committee
and was a negotiation committee member,
echoes this sentiment. He also said musicians have taken a bigger role since the
lockout ended.
“When we returned in February, there
was a certain amount of disarray in management,” Ross said, “so my committee stepped
into that vacuum.”
One change that Ross said both musicians and fans enjoy is that this new season
focuses more on core classical repertoire.
He said the musicians have helped shape
this season, creating events and themes.
The new season and artistic direction is
especially important for Ross, who considered leaving the orchestra in April for a
position with the Lyric Opera of Chicago.
He said Vänskä, who returned earlier
this year after leaving in October 2013, has
been key to retaining the orchestra’s unique
sound, which garnered them a Grammy for
Best Orchestral Performance in January.
This month, the orchestra begins a threeweek celebration of German composer
Richard Strauss’ 150th birthday.
Fans can also look forward to the
orchestra playing classical works from
Shostakovich, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky,
among others, as well as special themed and
holiday performances.
In its final season performance in June,
the orchestra will play work from Jean Sibellius, which is a specialty of Vänskä, and, in
cyclical fashion, return to Mahler.
It’s clear from the program that the musicians are looking to make a statement to
fans and the orchestra community.
In its season opener last month, the
orchestra returned with Gustav Mahler’s
“Resurrection” Symphony, a clear, symbolic
choice for an organization that found itself
in complete chaos a year ago.
The orchestra community has had its own
revival as well. With fans packed tightly in
the Orchestra Hall lobby, free champagne in
hand, before season’s first show, an orchestra
staff member read a statement from Gov.
Mark Dayton naming Sept. 26 Minnesota
Orchestra Day.
For Ross, it’s very exciting to be back at
work.
“It’s a new beginning for us. It’s kind of a
restart.”

I
t’s odd finding references to cochayuyo on
Chilean cooking websites, with advice for
home cooks to re-hydrate dried bundles of
the bull kelp species before adding chunks to
salads or the sauté pan.
Or at least it is after seeing Alexa Horochowski’s
new exhibition at the Soap Factory, where she
molds its long, leathery, alien-looking tendrils into
sculptures that resemble the mating balls of snakes.
Horochowski also weaves bronze-toned cochayuyo between the bars of a steel cage — a starkly
beautiful pairing of natural and manmade materials, and a higher use of the seaweed, perhaps,
than mashing it with garlic like a briny potato.
Horochowski encountered Durvillaea antarctica during a residency at Casa Poli, a cultural
center on the Chile’s Coliumo Peninsula where
she spent part of the Southern Hemisphere
summer of 2012–2013. On her website, Horochowski shares photos of cochayuyo hanging to
dry from the second-story window of Casa Poli,
a Brutalist concrete box perched above the ocean
on a granite cliff.
On the beach down below, she shot video of
forests of floating cochayuyo churning in the
surf. At the Soap Factory, the footage is projected
on three screens in a darkened room filled with
an ominous soundtrack — metallic shrieking
over rumbling bass that seems to steadily
increase in volume before starting over. The
images are mirrored vertically, and the symmetry
emphasizes the otherworldly strangeness of the
kelp; it seems to thrash like in the waves like the
tentacles of a sea monster.
Other objects and specimens Horochowski
observed or collected while in Chile appear in
the show’s mix of minimalist sculptures, video
works and black-and-white digital prints. The
Soap Factory’s raw, industrial gallery space is
a surprisingly suitable stand-in for the rugged
Chilean coastline. You half expect to see a guanostreaked rock even before you catch a glimpse
of the chair Horochowski has slathered in thick
white paint and gull feathers.
The title of the show, “Club Disminución,” is
translated as “Club of Diminishing Returns.” The
implication is that something has peaked and is
headed downhill, and that something may be us.
Another video underscores the point. The
view this time is from inside a sea cave, and we
can see light and waves rushing through the
opening. Again the image is mirrored, this time
horizontally, so that the side-by-side cave mouths
resemble the two empty eye sockets of a skull.

WHEN: Through Nov. 9
WHERE: The Soap Factory,
514 2nd St. SE
INFO: 623-9176, soapfactory.org
Horochowski makes bronze casts of sea
sponges, and the sculptures, pocked with holes,
look either like nature translated into metal or
metal decomposing under natural forces. What
looks like a giant clamshell plucked right from
the ocean is actually another bronze, a trompe
l’oeil sculpture.
Through repeated mixing of natural and artificial materials, or the substitution of one for the
other, Horochowski evokes nature’s power to
erase us, to erode what we’ve built or cover it in
weeds until it slowly crumbles.
As for humans, we’re only represented indirectly. Our trash appears neatly arranged on a
table of flotsam. In a photograph taken on the
roof of Casa Poli, we see no people, just three
empty chairs and the beginning of a sunset over
the ocean.
A TALE
OF FIVE
TRIBES
Public Functionary has dedicated its 2014
exhibition schedule to narrative in art,
and with the latest installment, an unusual
collaboration between two artists, the
focus shifts to mythmaking.
A year or so ago, the printmaker Edie
Overturf and illustrator and cartoonist
Derek Van Gieson decided to tell the
stories of five imaginary “tribes,” including
bearded hermaphrodites, a race of cat
people and species of two-headed human.
They are creatures you might find stalking
the unexplored regions on a medieval map.
They came up with a few plot points,
but then Overturf and Van Gieson went
their separate ways, developing the ideas
individually, Overturf in color woodblock
prints and Van Gieson in ink-slicked drawings toned sepia with coffee stains.
Like most of our myths and legends,
these stories come in competing, maybe
even irreconcilable versions. If there is
a narrative thread running through the
dozens of prints and drawings, it’s been cut
to bits and is frayed at both ends.
But there’s plenty to enjoy in the individual images, especially the cheeky way
Overturf’s gender-mixed creatures enact
scenes from religious art, as when a trio
of bearded women emerge from the belly
of a fish, Jonah-like, while the cat people
look on.
Van Gieson exercises his comics-making
chops, telling his version of the cat people
myth — one that appears to contain love,
violence and village ritual — in a dozen
loosely linked, gestural drawings.

THE THEATER OF
PUBLIC POLICY
The Theater of Public Policy, or
T2P2, is one part politics and public
policy and one part improve comedy.
While the pair appear impossibly
separate, T2P2 has combined the
two with expert guests and talented
improvisers, and is receiving
national attention along the way. For
its Oct. 13 performance, T2P2 will
feature four guests (Iris Altamirano,
Rebecca Gagnon, Ira Jourdain, Don
Samuels) from the Minneapolis
School Board race and bring it to life
with unscripted improv comedy. In a
similar fashion, on Oct. 20, T2P2 has
invited three major party candidates
vying Minnesota’s secretary of state
position for a lively, comedic political
discussion. T2P2 will continue its
civically minded events after Election
Day until the end of November.

Listed as “tater tots with blue cheese” on the
starter list ($6–$10), that item’s unannounced
embellishments include pulled skirt steak livened
with tomatillos and more (lots more.) The starter
list also salutes winners like fried egg with ham
gravy and hot sauce, which involves crumbs and
foam and tasso, like something Faberge might
sell. And, with its still-kinda-runny yolk balanced
by the tasso’s slight saltines, it’s terrific. So is the
foie gras with succotash. Well, that combo is a
first for me, and it works — the diced veggies
cavorting in a cherry gastrique that balances the
liver’s divine fattiness.
Preceding those starters (and half a dozen
more I covet) comes a list of Small Bites
menu includes a short list of “Rooftop Classics”
culled from Union’s best-loved dishes.
But the real action — and there’s more of it
here than anywhere else in town that comes to
mind, including video arcades and drag strips
— occurs at Workshop. Let’s just add that, while
it’s like the NASA of food art, it’s no deer-in-thekitchen’s-headlights kind of place (c’mon—with
tater tots on the menu?)
You’ll easily comprehend the listings, but
here’s where the fun comes in. It’s one of those
under-promise, over-deliver kind of places. Sure,
a “jumbo French fry” — but it’s been baked,
sliced, frozen, fried, re-frozen, and re-fried
(TMI?) to produce this savory little success.

— “kind of a chicherron of beets,” our server
explained. Or like an Asian shrimp cracker, but of
bi-colored veggies (pureed, ground, dehydrated,
deepfried, etc.) with a heady hint of truffle.
You could stop right there, or continue to the
main courses, all well under $20, including a
miso-marinated sea bass on rice noodles, whose
broth is showered tableside. The plate’s rim is
painted in dual sauces: hoisin and sriracha. Or
the free-form lasagna, a vegetarian role model of
tender pasta with tiny herbs and veggies silhouetted right within it, coddling a kale ragout with
basil gel. Oh, and the braised duck with beans
and molasses sauce — call it a revised New
England staple or Stewart’s vision of cassoulet:
hearty, fork-tender, robust and tasty. (Next time:
warm lobster salad with shaved asparagus. Or the
Wagu burger withed with foie gras, a la Manhattan’s Daniel but at one-third the price.)
Desserts ($5–$7) confound, as you knew
they would. And delight (you knew that, too.)
There’s a beyond-pretty ice-cream sandwich — a
petite, gift-wrapped bundle of peanut flavor (also
praline, brittle, etc.) and hazelnut-fudge sauce
— and our second go, the not-to-be-missed
“coffee and donut.” A bitty espresso cup delivers
espresso crème brulee with a hint of cardamom,
with two mini-donuts perched at the rim (think
State Fair. Stewart did.) Accessible, interesting
wines, beers, and cocktails, too. Hennepin

his is one of the oldest parks in the
metro area (established in 1893) and
has some of the oldest tourist sights
in the state. The original people who
chose this destination felt it had a spiritual
presence — I think you will, too.
Thirty nine mounds, from just under 2 feet
high to the 15-foot tall one that’s still there,
were located on Dayton’s Bluff overlooking
the Mississippi River. Only six remain today.
The others were destroyed by farming, road
building, park planning, and development. It’s
a great park with a sweeping view and all of us
should cycle this into our park visits because
not many metropolitan Downtowns have
their own prehistoric sites. And these mounds
deserve our appreciation.
The six on Dayton’s Bluff are most likely the
oldest mounds from this site and probably date
from between 200 B.C.–400 A.D. Nobody
knows for sure though because no artifacts have
been excavated in modern times to carbon date
them. There are plenty of other mounds along
the Mississippi including the effigy mounds in
Iowa shaped like bears and birds and the flattopped pyramids in Illinois. No other mounds
are located north of here on the Mississippi but
we have many more throughout the state near
Mille Lacs, Itasca State Park and Lake of the
Woods. Similar mounds have been excavated
and dated. Others with round bases like these
typically date from the Middle Woodland era
(200 B.C.–400 A.D.)
But just because we can’t date artifacts from
these mounds doesn’t mean they’ve been left
alone. Today it’s a felony to disturb a burial
ground but these mounds were accessed in the
mid- to late-1800s by several people — bad
and good. Theodore H. Lewis cofounded the
Northwest Archeological Survey and over the
course of 15 years documented nearly 7,700
burial mounds in Minnesota and several thousand more in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, and the
Dakotas. He opened them up, documented the
artifacts, then closed them up again. In these
A few of the mounds located on
Dayton’s Bluff.
mounds he found skeletons, mussel shells,
a stone tool, arrowheads, a bone awl, wood
planks, a ceramic pipe, shell beads, hammered
copper breastplates, a bear tooth, a copper ornament, mussel shell spoons, and a piece of lead
ore. Some of the items were made locally; some
traded with other tribes.
Lewis noted in 1896 there were 10 villages in
the area: along the river, at Pig’s Eye Lake, and
at Phalen Creek. No evidence has ever been
found that they lived up near the mounds; it’s
too far from water to be practical. Perched high
on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, this
was a ceremonial resting place for these ancient
peoples’ ancestors.
We’ve got about 12,000 burial mounds in the
state and a few thousand right here in the metro
area. In fact, Lake Minnetonka has many —
thus the town name: Mound. This park makes
a peaceful getaway to appreciate the mounds’
graceful curves, the meandering river below,
and both skylines in the distance. Two thousand years later, it’s still a special place.

Ask Dr. Rachel
RACHEL ALLYN
TIPS FOR REDUCING STRESS
ON THE JOB
Q
How can I find ways
to reduce stress while
I’m at work? The answer to this question has two layers.
The first layer involves using your body as a
resource. I’m always surprised by how many
clients don’t realize (or simply forget) they
can calm themselves on the spot by utilizing
their breath. After all it’s free, you don’t need a
prescription and it’s effective. How we breathe
has an immediate impact on our nervous
system. Whether we’re breathing effectively
is the difference between having a nervous
system and having a chronically nervous
system. It doesn’t take more than checking-in
to see if you’re actually breathing fully and then
letting out long exhalations to train your body
to release tension. With practice, the physical
benefit will be long lasting and your mind will
follow suit. Editor’s note
This is Dr. Rachel Allyn’s debut
column for the Journals. She will
be answering questions about
health and wellness.
Direct questions to her at
[email protected].
In addition to breathing, use the senses to
soothe yourself. Our senses are constantly
absorbing the outer environment and
providing information to our brain about
whether we’re safe or not. Having silence or
mellow music in the background compared
to loud sounds can be the difference between
responding versus reacting in a tense moment.
Have some calming Essential Oils at your desk
such as lavender and dab it behind your ears.
This break can also be a mental reminder to
reset and shift perspective: you’re just under a
work deadline, not being chased by a bear.
The second layer is less immediate but also
requires the act of letting go, as well as some
honest self-reflection. It’s about recognizing
beliefs you hold about yourself in relation
to work. Are you a people-pleaser? Do you
overly-identify with your job? Are you a
workaholic to distract from other aspects
of your life you don’t want to face? Do you
micro-manage and take on too much because
you need control? Often these beliefs are part
of old stories that may have made sense and
worked for you in the past but are creating
difficulties in the present.
For example, if you’re a people pleaser the
first step is recognizing it’s impossible to avoid
disappointing another person at some point
and this is simply part of being human. Plus,
you’ll no doubt deplete yourself by trying to
be everything to everyone. Set an intention to
Using essential oils can be an effective way to beat stress.
say “no” to a small request in your day and see
what happens. You’ll likely find out that things
don’t fall apart, people respect you for having
boundaries and you’re more refreshed for
other priorities in your life.
Focus on 10 long exhalations three times
as day as a physiological and symbolic way to
release stress held in your body.
Explore the limiting beliefs you have about
