Where should college build its parking ramp?

Normandale needs more parking, neighbors dislike proposed location

BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS As far as parking problems go, Normandale Community College has a pretty good one.

The campus continues to grow, and along with that growth is the need for additional parking. The challenge, however, is finding a way to solve the problem that fits within its Bloomington campus and satisfies concerns of residents along its west border.

The solution campus leaders are pro-

From fast action during a medical emergency to implementing safety measures at local schools, more than two dozen men and women were honored during the Bloomington Police Department Behavior Recognition Awards ceremony last week.

Certificates and medals were handed out to several Bloomington police officers for excellence in the line of duty. They weren’t the only honorees, however, as the department handed out several citizen medals and certificates in recognition of contributions by others.

The awards were presented June 22 at Bloomington Civic Plaza for incidents during the past two years. The most recent of those came last month when a Minnetonka man helped stop an out-of-control car near Mall of America.

James Glover of Minnetonka was driving a Hummer near Mall of America as thousands of participants were completing the Race for the Cure May 8. He noticed a car, driven by a 91-year-old woman, hitting the freeway barrier as the driver was exiting from Highway 77 onto Killebrew Drive, headed toward the Race for the Cure procession on the mall’s south side. Glover, sensing the woman was having a medical issue that prevented her from controlling the vehicle, hit her car with the Hummer.

Awards FROM PREVIOUS PAGE The two vehicles collided with a third car, stopping the woman’s car before it reached Race for the Cure participants.

Glover was awarded the Citizen Medal of Valor for his actions.

Many of the awards were given to Twin Cities residents, but two brothers who received a Citizen Medal of Valor traveled much further to receive their awards.

Colten Bugg, 18, and Forest Bugg, 22, traveled from Rapid City, S.D., and Bemidji, respectively, to accept their awards from the Bloomington Police Department.

Their return trip to Bloomington was a result of their actions on Oct. 30, 2010, when they chased down two shoplifters who had stolen NASCAR jackets from a Mall of America store and were being pursued by a loss prevention officer. The pursuit continued outside Mall of America, where Bloomington police caught up with the brothers and arrested the suspects.

Several awards were given for quick thinking, but Kimberly Potts of Bloomington received a Community Commitment Award for her awareness while on the job.

Potts, who works for a Bloomington check-cashing establishment, recognized

(Photos by Mike Hanks • Sun Newspapers) that an elderly man was cashing several checks and turning the money over to a woman that accompanied him. Out of concern for him, she questioned the man about his transactions and was told he was loaning money to people who promised to pay him back.

Potts called Bloomington police who investigated the report and determined the man had been bilked out of more than $160,000. The perpetrator was convicted on four counts of financial exploitation as a result of Potts’ concern and willingness to become involved.

Among the Bloomington police officers recognized during the ceremony were a group who responded to an apartment fire Feb. 8.

The eight officers received the Department Commendation Medal for their actions at the scene. The early morning fire engulfed the apartment building, trapping several residents inside their apartments on the second or third floor.

Officers caught several children who were thrown out of apartment windows, as well as adults who jumped out of the building, until fire department ladders were available to help rescue the remaining residents.

Officer Daniel Murphy also received a Department Commendation Medal for his work in designing lockdown procedures for Bloomington schools and pushing for the state statute that mandates lockdown drills in all Minnesota schools. His expertise is also responsible for the design and implementation of lockdown procedures at Mall of America. The mall conducted a lockdown drill in November 2009.

“The officers who serve at Bloomington Police Department do great work each every day to serve the citizens of Bloomington,” according to Police Chief Jeff Potts. “Sometimes their actions are so extraordinary that they deserve formal recognition. There are also many occasions when our citizens do great things and they deserve that same recognition.,” he added.

Bloomington duo arrested for credit card fraud Use of EBT card resulted in arrests

BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS A forgotten wallet may have produced a windfall for a Bloomington duo, if only they had remembered that they were leaving electronic footsteps.

The duo, arrested last week, was shopping at Walmart May 15. They were making a purchase using the store’s self-service checkout registers, according to Bloomington Police Commander Mark Stehlik.

A customer using a different register finished a transaction and left the store, leaving a wallet at the register, according to surveillance video. The video shows a 47-year-old Bloomington man picking up the wallet, Stehlik said.

After the man picked up the wallet he temporarily left the store, returning to join a 35-year-old Bloomington woman, Stehlik explained.

The duo then left the store.

Financial records for a credit card in

the wallet show it was used to make purchases at a Holiday Stationstore for $110, a Best Buy for $176 and a Chipotle for $26, Stehlik said. Surveillance video showed the woman using the card to make the Best Buy purchase, he noted.

A Bloomington investigator was able to determine the identity of the suspects through their Walmart transaction since the woman paid for $46 worth of groceries using an EBT card issued in her name, Stehlik explained.

Upon questioning the woman claimed she didn’t know the card was stolen, despite having signed for the Best Buy purchase using the cardholder’s name. The man initially said the woman took the wallet, but after being shown surveillance video he claimed he was attempting to locate the wallet’s owner when he left the store with it, Stehlik said.

Laptop theft Three laptop computers were stolen from a Bloomington office building, the latest in a string of similar thefts.

Bloomington Police received a security alarm report just before 11 p.m.

June 17, according to Stehlik. Officers arrived three minutes after the call was received from the alarm company, which placed the call two minutes after a second alarm was tripped at Smith & Nephew, 4801 W. 81st St., he said.

Officers responding to the scene found the doors to the business were locked, and there was no sign of forced entry. The business reported the laptops missing on the morning of June 20. It appeared that the perpetrator used a tool to manipulate the lock of the rear door and gain access to the office, likely leaving through the front door of the building and setting off a second alarm, Stehlik explained.

Burglary charge A 15-year-old Minneapolis boy who had been cited for trespassing at Mall of America eight times faces a thirddegree burglary charge after being caught with what appeared to be stolen merchandise.

The boy was arrested June 20 after he and a 19-year-old Columbia Heights man were spotted inside the mall by a Bloomington police officer. The officer

KAREL SMITH 612-986-3704

recognized the boy because of his multiple trespassing violations and began to follow the duo. The boy fled the mall with a bag and was stopped by police.

He was in possession of two hats that had tears in them that appeared to be where store security tags had been attached, Stehlik explained.

The Columbia Heights man was stopped separately and found to be wearing a shirt that was torn near the collar, Stehlik noted.

The man was cited for possession of stolen property and released. The boy was arrested for burglary because of the trespassing citations against him.

Instead of being charged with shoplifting, a misdemeanor, the boy faces a possible felony count, Stehlik noted.

Shoplifting arrest A 49-year-old Des Moines, Iowa, woman was arrested for shoplifting and contributing to the delinquency of a minor at Walmart June 21.

The woman and a 12-year-old boy were arrested after they were observed COPS: TO NEXT PAGE

Take safety measures when using fireworks The Independence Day holiday brings many backyard celebrations and fireworks displays. Several guidelines should be followed when using pyrotechnics.

“Nothing that is legal in this state should explode or fly,” according to Bloomington Fire Chief Ulie Seal. “If it goes bang or boom, it’s illegal.”

Legal fireworks in Minnesota include wire or wood sparklers, a variety of fountains that emit sparks or smoke, including devices that spin on the ground or attached to a post or tree by a nail or a string, and illuminating torches.

Illegal fireworks include firecrackers of any size, rockets and Roman candles.

Although there are legal fireworks in Minnesota, their use is prohibited on public property, according to the state fire marshal’s website.

Following a wet spring, it is less likely fireworks will start a grass fire this year, but it’s still important to have a water source handy to extinguish fireworks or anything that ignites as a result of fireworks, according to Seal.

And safety precautions should be taken when using fireworks, including “parental supervision for the kids,” he added.

Whose stupid idea were fireworks anyway?

For more than 30 years as a journalist, I have been listening to police and fire officials tell me fireworks are dangerous. Once a topic is repeated that many times, you tend to begin believing it.

We’re not talking about the big bang theory commercial fireworks displays cities plan each year on the Fourth of July. These are the little ones, the dangerous ones, the ones that will rip your finger off and burn your skin.

Mostly fireworks were illegal in Minnesota for a very long time. There were always those scofflaws who trekked across into Wisconsin to buy their fireworks, brought them back home and started house fires, of course.

But then along came Jesse Ventura. The number of pieces of legacy legislation from the Ventura administration can be counted on one hand – a hand with two fingers blown off by

PAUL WAHL Senior Managing Editor Sun Newspapers

fireworks.

Gov. Ventura decided that since he liked fireworks and he thought it was a good thing (despite what public safety experts had to say), everyone should have access to fireworks.

The problem with the law is that most people take it to mean that fireworks are legal year-round in Minnesota.

From the balcony of our home, we hear them being fired off (mostly the illegal variety) most weeks of the year. Yes even in the dead of winter.

I’m sure if we were to go back into the annals of fire calls over the years since the fireworks laws were relaxed we

could find our share of injuries, fires and general mayhem. It’s too bad that cities and counties can’t send the bill for investigating these mishaps to Ventura personally.

All that being said, I have to admit that as a child I had an affinity for things that exploded loudly and left large plumes of smoke. I have a couple scars on my hands to attest to my fascination.

I can remember placing large caches of Black Cat firecrackers in a coffee can and lighting the fuse. The echo from the can was a major plus factor.

My mother particularly couldn’t say too much because her mother – my grandma – was also a fireworks fan. Each year my grandparents’ back yard was the scene of one very spectacular fireworks display. I have a few cousins who also have permanent scars on their fingers from those little adven-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Raising tobacco tax has multiple benefits To the editor: Before cutting essential health and human services programs, I urge state lawmakers to consider raising at least one tax that will actually benefit the community – the state tobacco tax.

The public health benefits are well established. Increasing the price of tobacco products discourages use, especially among youth. Many smokers quit, others cut back. As a Philip Morris executive explains, “…price… is the main driving force for quitting.”

With tobacco the leading cause of cancer and heart disease, taxpayers should stop subsidizing smoking.

Last year, Minnesota raised $385 million through tobacco taxes and fees.

But we spent more than $465 million to pay for tobacco-related medical costs incurred by Medicaid alone. In addition, even if you don’t smoke, you pay $554 a year for everyone who does.

So we would all be better off if our state of Minnesota would initiate this tax more as in incentive to urge our smoking population to stop the habit.

This works.

Up to the very end of session, Bloomington’s own Rep. Ann Lenczewski advocated for including a tobacco tax as part of the budget solution. I thank her for that. Even if we weren’t in a budget crisis, an increase in the price of tobacco would make sense. In the current budget climate, it’s a no-brainer.

Karen Nordstrom Bloomington Nordstrom is an at-large representative on the Bloomington City Council.

tures.

But I digress.

My hope is that in the 40 or so years since I was a child we have learned that no matter how big the attraction, some celebratory items should not be an option. Fireworks in the hands of young fools is one of those.

For the life of me I cannot understand why this tradition remains.

Fireworks were invented by the Chinese so how does that make them the centerpiece of an American independence celebration? Heck we’re in debt up to our eyeballs to the Chinese. Surely there’s something more American we can choose to replace fireworks – at least the kind that cause children to be injured and scarred and start fires.

Whether you’re a fan or wish all of the fireworks in the world would go up in one big ball of fire, have a great Fourth of July weekend. Be safe.

The Fourth of July festivities begin early when Summer Fete kicks off 3 p.m. Sunday, July 3. The event begins with an afternoon of games and music before ending with the popular fireworks display over Normandale Lake at night. Summer Fete events take place around the Normandale Lake Bandshell, near the intersection of 84th Street and Chalet Road in Bloomington.

The event, organized by Bloomington Parks and Recreation, will host a variety of food vendors, serving up fair classics like minidoughnuts and cotton candy as well as decadent deep-fried macaroni and cheese. Vendors will be set up in the

Two stages will host entertainment for all ages. Children’s music will be featured on the 84th Street Kids Stage in the carnival area from 3:30 to 8 p.m., including recurring Kids Stage headliners, Splatter Sisters, at 7 p.m.

Main stage music is 5-10 p.m. at the bandshell. PopROCKS will open with popular hits from the 1980s to the present. The Medalist Concert Band will headline the event, beginning their set at 8:30 p.m. and ending at dusk.

Several city groups will have displays near the intersection of 84th Street and Norman Center Drive, including the Bloomington Fire Department, Bloomington SWAT team and Bloomington Division of Public Health.

Summer Fete’s grand finale, the traditional fireworks display, will begin around dusk, shortly after 10 p.m. In case of inclement weather, updates will be available at 952-563-8878.

Bloomington plans, best it can, for state government shutdown

BY MIKE HANKS • SUN NEWSPAPERS Should state government go into shutdown mode as a result of the budget battle that continued to play out this week, Bloomington residents will deal with the many repercussions of the stalemate, but the affect upon city government operations should be minimal.

The governor and legislature have been in disagreement about how to close a $5 billion budget deficit, a deficit that will result in the suspension of a wide array of state services without a resolution by July 1. State parks will close, rest areas along the interstates will close and a variety of state-issued licenses and inspections will come to a halt without a budget agreement.

City officials have been planning for the uncertain consequences of a state government shutdown, according to Public Works Director Karl Keel.

Bloomington isn’t a beneficiary of state-aid dollars. Although that’s not typically considered to be advantageous, if the checks aren’t issued to benefitting cities because of a shutdown, Bloomington’s operations won’t be affected. “We’re not in the position to have to worry about that,” Keel said.

If the city needs to float short-term loans within its funds to sustain programs that rely upon state dollars, it will do so, Keel added.

The biggest impact for Bloomington residents may very well be felt long after the shutdown begins, or ends.

fast & friendly estimates no high-pressure sales pitch

Construction at the interchange of Highway 169 and Interstate 494 will likely come to a halt, creating a roadblock for a project that has an aggressive timetable for completion.

Road construction is unlikely to be deemed an essential service during the government shutdown, sidelining state employees responsible for decisions that are made as the project progresses, as well as suspending the issuance of checks to the project contractor, Keel explained.

The shutdown would serve as a double whammy to the project. The delay would set the project back and halt it during the summer construction season, he added.

Local projects will also be affected by the shutdown, according to Keel. A local project would be delayed if there were a right-of-way issue that requires the approval of a state employee who is unavailable during the shutdown, he said.

One such project that was up against the clock this week is 106th Street under Interstate 35W, Keel noted. Because of state right-of-way there, Minnesota Department of Transportation has a stake in the project and provides oversight. Without an available state official, the project faces a delay. The contractor has been working to finish as much work as possible prior to the possible shutdown, Keel said.

Bloomington author honors dad with latest book

BY MATTHEW HANKEY • SUN NEWSPAPERS Getting thoughts onto paper can be a cathartic and healing exercise.

For class of ‘98 Eagan High School alum Tyrel Nelson, this process not only helped him publish his third book, but also provided an outlet to deal with his grief following the passing of his father this past Valentine’s Day. “Those Darn Stripes” is a 94-page collection of personal short stories published May 11 by CreateSpace, an Internet-based publishing service.

Nelson’s first two books largely dealt with his travels in Central and South America, but his latest publication takes on a different tone. In doing so, Nelson says the book’s title reflects the growing honesty he used in crafting it.

“My original intention with this project was to reveal more of myself, and I believed that if I was going to do so, I had to show all of my stripes, whether they were pleasing, embarrassing, or just plain ugly,” the 31-year-old said.

Nelson had completed more than 15 stories for this book when he found out that his father, Jay Nelson, had been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in last October. Chapters 18-25 of “Those Darn Stripes” deal with Nelson’s life after receiving the news.

“I was with him every day until he passed away,” Nelson said. “I’m very lucky to have had those last four months with him.”

Nelson graduated from the

Eagan High school graduate Tyrel Nelson recently completed his third book, “Those Darn Stripes,” which was published May 11. The book is a collection of 25 short stories from Nelson’s life and honors his late father, Jay Nelson, who passed away this past Valentine’s Day.

The two had never met before, but ended up spending roughly 36 hours alone together during layovers and the flight to Central America, Nier said. They’ve

been inseparable ever since.

“I love it,” Nier said of the book.

“Every time I read it, it makes me cry because I think of his dad.”

Nier said Nelson pays attention to the details in stories, which give them a personal touch.

“He actually goes through his stories and counts how many times he used certain words,” Nier said. “He really plays around with the words to make the story.”

Writing the book helped Nelson come to terms with what he had felt during those last few months of his dad’s life.

The book was largely written as tribute to his dad, whom he also dedicated it to.

He encourages people to read the book to understand the impact his father had on his son’s life.

“I feel the world lost this wonderful man, and I wanted to share that with the readers,” Nelson said.

Lena Luckritz met Nelson when the two studied abroad in Venezuela in 2002 as college students. She said the honesty and emotion he put into this novel should resonate with readers.

“I think it’s an excellent book,” Luckritz said. “Anyone can really relate to it – anyone going through loss of any kind. It’s comforting to read it.”

Jury convicts Missouri man of robbing four Minnesota banks

BY SARAH PETERSON • SUN NEWSPAPERS A 40-year-old Missouri man was found guilty of robbing four Minnesota banks between Sept. 18, 2007, and April 16, 2008.

Following a three-day trial in federal court, Joseph Paul Young of Rogersville, Mo., was convicted of four counts of bank robbery June 23. He was indicted July 14, 2009.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, evidence presented at trial proved that on Sept. 18, 2007, Young stole approximately $7,410 from Washington County Bank at 2520 White Bear Avenue in Maplewood. On Sept. 25, 2007, he stole

Book FROM PAGE 11 program. There, he met Andra Bosneag and the two became friends over common interests of crossword puzzles and drinking lots of coffee, Bosneag said.

She has read his previous books, and thinks his latest work displays Nelson’s growth as an author over the past few years.

“His writing style has matured, and the stories involving his father have such strong emotional holds that you feel as if you’ve known Jay all your life,” Bosneag said.

As for a future project, Nelson said he

approximately $1,196 from the TCF Bank at 5205 Central Ave. N.E., Fridley. He stole approximately $1,400 Jan. 26, 2008, from the U.S. Bank at 9633 Lyndale Ave. S., Bloomington, and on April 16, 2008, he stole approximately $4,350 from the Minnwest Bank, 116 E. Main St., Luverne, Minn.

Young was commonly referred to as the “plaid” or “flannel” shirt robber during the course of these robberies.

For these crimes, Young faces a potential maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on each count. A U.S. District Court judge will determine the sentence at a future hearing.

has written a few chapters of a novel, his first foray into fiction writing.

“My dad always told me I should try fiction out, too,” Nelson said. “This is my new challenge. It’s quite new to me, actually.”

Ultimately, Nelson hopes this book honors his dad, who he considers to be his mentor, and whose wisdom he has taken to heart.

“He was my best friend,” Nelson said.

“I talked to him every day. He wore his heart on his sleeve and he was a very proud man. What you saw is what you got with my dad. I hope to reach that level of self-confidence someday.”

AirBroom Minnesota In Excelsior Can Help

How does your chimney look? Are the bricks crumbling?

Does it have White or Black exterior staining? Are you afraid to use your fireplace because you’re not sure how safe it is?

When was the last time you used it?

The professionals at AirBroom Minnesota Fireplace and Air Duct Cleaning in Excelsior can restore both your confidence and your chimney. Did you know that water causes more damage to masonry chimneys than fire? Your chimney, unlike other parts of your house, is constantly exposed to the elements. They are generally constructed of brick, mortar, tile, steel, and iron. All of these materials suffer deterioration as a result of prolonged contact with water. Freeze and thaw cycles so familiar here in the Twin Cities cause stress on the chimney.

Water that has penetrated expands and contracts.

Left unchecked it will cause interior and exterior damage to your home and masonry chimney. Some of the damage that can be caused includes: 1) spalled and broken exterior brickwork, 2) deteriorated masonry and metal firebox assemblies, 3) rusted dampers, 4) decayed mortar, cracked or missing flue liners, and in the worst case scenario damage to adjoining walls, ceilings, woodwork. and There are three main ways to prevent water damage.

1) Install a chimney cap. This is the most inexpensive measure to prevent water penetration to the flue and inside chimney elements. We sell and install locally manufactured caps for as little as $99.

2) Repair or replace a damaged chimney crown.

The crown sits atop your chimney and covers and seals it from the flue liners to the chimney edge. Many chimneys are built with an inadequate crown constructed from common mortar mix. Mortar is not designed for and will not withstand years of prolonged moisture exposure without cracking and chipping which allows water to penetrate the chimney. A proper crown

is constructed of a Portland cement mixture and formed to provide an overhang drip edge. This assures the water will shed helping to prevent erosion in the mortar and brick of the chimneys surfaces. Keeping the crown “watertight” and shedding away from the sponge like masonry elements that the chimney is built of is the most important element to preventing deterioration. At AirBroom Minnesota we use the industry leading line of Saver products to build and repair chimneys. Use of these products allows us to pass on manufacturers material warranties of up to 15 years to our clients.

3) Waterproof your masonry chimney and crown.

Most masonry is porous and will absorb large amounts of water. Brick acts like a sponge absorbing water and wicking it to the chimney interior. Products we use are specifically developed for use as waterproofing agents on masonry chimneys.

These are vapor permeable – which means they allow the masonry to breath out but not in. This allows water that has penetrated the chimney to escape while preventing additional water from entering from the outside. Non vapor permeable sealers commonly available should never be used because they trap moisture inside actually accelerating deterioration. We use a special permeable sealer with a 10 year consumer warranty to protect your chimney. Doing this before deterioration occurs can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in future repairs. Water damage to chimneys is usually a slow subtle process. The problem is generally not obvious until it has become quite serious. Although these prevention measures may cost you a few dollars they can save you a lot more by preventing large future masonry repairs. The Hartmann’s at AirBroom Minnesota in Excelsior offer free no obligation repair estimates in the Western Metro area. Call John, Jim, or Lynda today to arrange a free no obligation estimate. Visit us at AirBroomMinnesota.com or call us at 952.545.2254. As a bonus, repair jobs over $750 scheduled with us prior to May 31st receive $100 off when you mention this article.

Shutdown

Suspect in high-end Edina burglaries in custody

FROM PAGE 9

The suspect in a handful of recent Edina burglaries involving cut phone lines is in custody and will likely face multiple charges in multiple jurisdictions.

Stewart Eugene Pesheck, 42, of Minneapolis was charged Friday, June 10, in Hennepin County District Court with one felony count of second-degree attempted burglary in relation to a Minneapolis incident. He is being held in Hennepin County Jail.

Edina police Det. Dave Carlson confirmed Pesheck is the suspect in seven Edina burglaries that occurred between April 1 and May 31. Carlson said he was awaiting forensic evidence in the Edina cases.

“I’m in the process of preparing the cases to be presented to the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office for charging,” Carlson said.

The Edina Police Department worked with the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and the Minneapolis and Maplewood police departments to apprehend Pesheck, he said.

Maplewood Police Department Deputy Chief Dave Kvam said his department arrested Pesheck Thursday, June 9, in south Minneapolis while executing a search warrant on a home and vehicle. He said there was also a warrant for Pesheck’s arrest from another jurisdiction in an unrelated case.

“We became aware of him as a suspect in

Planning for a shutdown doesn’t answer many questions that would be raised by it, according to Keel. Stoplights at freeway interchanges, such as Penn Avenue and Interstate 494, are the state’s responsibility. If stoplights fail at such an intersection, who would resolve the problem is unclear.

“One would hope maintenance of traffic is considered an essential service,” he said.

Many state driver’s license bureaus will close since there won’t be state employees to process paperwork during a shutdown, Keel noted. Bloomington plans to keep its motor vehicle office open, however, even though the services available through it will be limited by the shutdown, he added.

With the scope of the shutdown uncertain, city officials have had to make educated guesses as they prepare for the loss of state services. In the end “there’s going to be something that we haven’t anticipated,” Keel said.

one of our burglaries due to work done by Edina,” Kvam said. According to Kvam, Edina police recovered property linked to a Maplewood burglary during its investigation.

When Maplewood executed the search warrant, they also recovered “stolen property that seems to relate to crimes in other cities in the west metro in Edina and Minneapolis,” Kvam said.

Kvam said Maplewood’s case is still under investigation and will be submitted to the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office for potential charges. He said he is not aware of other Maplewood burglaries that are connected to the suspect.

Last month, the Minneapolis Police Department asked for help identifying a man responsible for “at least five sophisticated high-end burglaries” in that city since January. The Minneapolis cases also involved compromised alarm systems.

It was unclear if the Minneapolis Police Department would pursue charges in additional burglaries. A call to spokesman Sgt. William Palmer was not immediately returned.

According to the criminal complaint: Homeowners on the 2600 block of Lake of the Isles Parkway East in Minneapolis called Minneapolis police Tuesday, April 26, after finding their exterior video surveillance system tampered with as well as the phone line cut.

The surveillance system recorded a suspicious person approach the front door and ring the doorbell at approximately 10:35 a.m.

A few minutes later the man walked around the home, reached up and removed a security camera near the patio door. About an hour later he returned to the service door and attempted to remove the security camera while covering his face with his hand. He was unsuccessful and is seen leaving the scene shortly after.

Officers published still photos of the suspect from the video. Five individuals called and identified the suspect as Pesheck. One caller said Pesheck was storing stolen goods in a garage in St. Louis Park.

Edina Police Department officers observed Pesheck at the storage facility. A subsequent search resulted in the recovery of stolen property and papers in his name.

Another caller who identified Pesheck told officers he changed his appearance after seeing himself in the videos. Edina officers confirmed this, noting during surveillance he had orange hair. Edina police initially described the suspect with black hair.

Officers made contact with the Department of Corrections, Shakopee, where Pesheck’s girlfriend currently resides and found he mailed her a newspaper clipping describing high-end burglaries where police had released surveillance images of a suspect.

Free ‘dry humor’ comedy show July 3 in New Hope

BY SUE WEBBER • SUN NEWSPAPERS Wild Bill Bauer is taking a chance that plenty of people may be doing “staycationsâ€? for the coming July 4th weekend.

He figures they will be looking for something fun to do.

Bauer will be emceeing “Dry Humor – The Sobriety Show,� 8 p.m. Sunday, July 3, at the New Hope Cinema Grill, 2749 Winnetka Ave. N., New Hope.

The price is right. Admission is free, though Bauer will pass the hat to collect money for the comedians he’s booked – Kathy Ladman and Michael Thorne, plus Bauer himself and “a couple of surprise guests.� “I’m asking the owner of the New Hope Cinema Grill to give up his liquor sales for a night,� said Bauer, who celebrated his own 27th anniversary of being “clean and sober� on June 17. “I stopped even thinking about drinking 15 years ago,� he said.

But, he said, “A lot of guys have just quit drinking, and a lot of them don’t

have jobs. I’ve given that a lot of thought.

Google sober entertainment sometime, and you’ll be surprised how little pops up.

If you’re sober, your entertainment options are limited to movies.�

Bauer grew up in the Twin Cities, attended DeLaSalle High School and the University of Minnesota and always was a fan of comedy.

Actor/comedian Tom Arnold was one of his early sidekicks, along with Alex Cole.

Bauer, Arnold, Cole and comedians Louie Anderson and Scott Hanson appeared together early on, Bauer said. “I went to Los Angeles for seven years then and enjoyed it,� Bauer said. “But unless you’re a star, it’s not fun to live in LA.�

He’s been back in the Twin Cities for 10 years, doing comedy shows, including some national shows. Bauer is a radio favorite on the nationally syndicated “Bob and Tom Show,� which is broadcast SOBER SHOW: TO PAGE 27

Normandale FROM PAGE 1 posing is a multi-story parking ramp.

Financing isn’t an issue. The four-level ramp will be funded by students and fulltime faculty, at a cost of up to $14 million. Its design is not an issue, either, as the ramp can be built on an existing campus parking lot and conform to the city’s codes and regulations.

The challenge the college and Bloomington City Council members face is finding a location for the ramp that nearby residents won’t object to.

The council reviewed the proposal at its June 20 meeting. The council also heard objections from several residents who expressed concern about the proposed location. Concerns about noise, lighting and aesthetics were enough to convince the council the proposal was worth another look. College officials concurred, agreeing to revisit its proposal with an eye toward receiving the city’s approval Aug. 1.

Campus growth The parking ramp will provide more than 400 additional parking spaces for the campus, in connection with the opening of the Academic Partnership Center, an extension of the existing campus. The Academic Partnership Center will be a three-story, 27classroom expansion attached to the Kopp Center in the northwest area of the campus. It will be “a pretty standard academic classroom facility,” according to Ed Wines, the vice president of finance and operations for Normandale. The expansion will also include a computer lab for students and additional office space for teachers and

It’s an expansion that is needed, according to Wines. The campus is over capacity, with most classrooms occupied throughout the week during the academic year. The expansion will not only provide additional classroom space, it will “fulfill MnSCU’s (Minnesota State Colleges and Universities) needs in permitting this campus to become a host campus for four-year degrees offered by Mankato and other state universities,” according to Wines. The campus already serves as a satellite location for Mankato’s elementary education program, he noted.

The Academic Partnership Center has been approved by the college’s board of trustees at a cost of about $24 million, Wines said. The bonds for its construction, however, require state legislative approval.

The project is on Gov. Mark Dayton’s list for funding. If that happens yet this year, construction will begin with a projected open-

ing of January 2013. If it doesn’t happen until 2012, that pushes out the 15-month construction period another year, meaning a January 2014 opening, Wines explained.

Whenever the Academic Partnership Center opens, the campus will need to have additional parking in place. The ramp was proposed because the campus has nowhere else to develop surface parking and cannot provide offsite parking that falls within the 500 feet required by the city, according to Wines. “We have room to go up,” he said, “but we have very little real estate to build more surface parking.”

The proposed location for the ramp is the result of multiple studies that took into consideration traffic and storm water management, Wines said. The college formed a design advisory committee to study the possible location, determining a lot that is used partially for staff parking near the intersection of Collegeview and Little roads was the best location. In response to residential concerns about the proposal the college agreed to include neighborhood representatives as part of its design advisory committee and review issues such as lighting, noise and landscaping.

Public Notice (Official Publication) NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT AND NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS Tier I Environmental Assessment Hennepin County Date Published: June 30, 2011 TO ALL INTERESTED PARTIES, GROUPS AND PERSONS: The purpose of this notice is to identify two separate but related actions to be undertaken by Hennepin County. On or about July 18, 2011, Hennepin County will request that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) release HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) funds under Title II of the National Affordable Housing Act to undertake a project known as Neighborhood Rehabilitation Loan Program (NRLP) as described below: A Tier One Review has been completed so the Bloomington Housing and Redevelopment Authority will provide home improvement loans in a target neighborhood to homeowners for improvements to meet local codes, ordinances and rehabilitation standards. Homeowners must occupy the home and be at or below 80% of the HUD median income. The target area within the City of Bloomington will include residential portions within the boundaries of Highway 35W to the West, Highway 77 to the East, 494 to the North and the Minnesota River to the South.

Funding for the NRLP Program will include $250,000 of federal HOME funds and matching City funds of $250,000 for a total amount of $500,000. Funding will be for loans up to $35,000.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT It has been determined that such a request for release of funds will not constitute an activity significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and, accordingly, Hennepin County has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (PL91-190).

The reasons for the decision not to prepare such Statement are as follows; (a) the review determined that no significant environmental effects will result and (b) the proposed project is consistent with all applicable local, state and federal regulations. An Environmental Review Record has been established for this project that documents the environmental review of the project and more fully sets forth the reasons why such Statement is not required. The Environmental Review Record is on file and available for public examination and copying, upon request, at the office of Hennepin County Housing, Community Works & Transit, 417 North Fifth Street, Suite 320, Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55401-1362, telephone 612-348-2205, between the hours of

8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. No further environmental review of this project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for release of funds.

PUBLIC COMMENTS ON FINDING Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the Environmental Review Record for consideration

by Hennepin County to the office of the undersigned. Such written comments will be accepted until July15, 2011. All such comments so received will be considered and Hennepin County will not request the release of Federal funds or take any administrative action on the project prior to the date specified in the preceding sentence.

RELEASE OF FUNDS Hennepin County, as the eligible grantee, will provide financial assistance to the project described above with HUD funds from the HOME Investment Partnership Program funds under Title II of the National Affordable Housing Act as amended. Hennepin County certifies to HUD that Richard P. Johnson, in his official capacity as County Administrator, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the federal courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.and related laws and authorities, and allows Hennepin County to use HOME Program funds.

OBJECTIONS FUNDS

TO

RELEASE

OF

HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the Hennepin County certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of Hennepin County; (b) Hennepin County has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d)another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to HUD grant administration office at 920 Second Avenue South, Suite 1300, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402. Objections to the release of funds, on the basis other than those stated above, will not be considered by HUD. Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Sober show FROM PAGE 1A “everywhere except the Twin Cities,” he said.

He has more than 25 national television appearances on NBC, ABC, MTV, Showtime, Comedy Central, and A&E. Bauer most recently appeared on a Louie Anderson comedy special. He has written episodes of “Valdez” and “The Jackie Thomas Show” (one of Tom Arnold’s sitcoms). He also did a script rewrite for the movie “Carpool.”

Bauer is proud of the audiences that have built up slowly at the New Hope Cinema Grill’s weekend comedy club.

“Last October, we got 20 or 30 people a night,” Bauer said. “Now we’re getting more than 100 people every weekend.”

Beginning in October, the Saturdayonly format will be expanded to include Friday nights, as well.

Louie Anderson has performed at the New Hope Cinema Grill twice and will be back again in April 2012, Bauer said.

In the meantime, he’s hoping the “Dry Humor Sobriety Show” will draw a big audience.

“I hope it’s successful enough so we can do it again,” Bauer said.

Every contract and all bonds and instruments to which the city is a party and which are approved by the city council must be signed and be executed in the name of the city by the mayor and the city manager. Every contract to which the city is a party, but for which council approval is not required pursuant to Section 6.07 due to the dollar amount, or otherwise sought, must be signed and be executed in the name of the city by the city manager; except for those contracts the approval of which has been delegated to city department heads pursuant to Section 6.07. All contracts, irrespective of dollar amount, must be signed by the city attorney prior to execution.

SEC. 6.07. PURCHASES AND CONTRACTS BY THE CITY MANAGER. The city manager is the chief purchasing agent of the city. The city manager can make or let contracts for the purchase or lease of merchandise, materials, or equipment, if budgeted or for any kind of construction work, repair or maintenance of real or personal property or

PASSAGE OF THE BUDGET. The budget must be the principal item of business at the first regular monthly council meeting in September. The council must hold adjourned meetings from time to time until it has considered all the estimates. The meeting must give interested citizens a reasonable opportunity to be heard. The annual budget finally agreed upon must set forth the complete financial plan of the city for the ensuing fiscal year for the funds budgeted. It must show the sums to be raised and their sources and the sums to be spent and their purposes according to Section 7.05.

SEC. 7.08. ALTERATIONS IN THE BUDGET. After the budget resolution has been adopted, the council has no power to increase the amounts fixed in the budget resolution beyond the estimated revenues, but if the actual receipts exceed the estimates, the council can increase the amounts up to the actual receipts.

The council by resolution of a majority can reduce the sums appropriated for any purpose in the budget resolution, or by a resolution approved by five members authorize the transfer of sums needed for other purposes from unencumbered balances of appropriations in the budget. The city manager can make transfers of sums within the major expense classifications in a department or division. However, the city manager cannot transfer appropriations between major expense classifications in a department or division nor can the city manager transfer appropriations between departments or divisions without council approval.

SEC. 7.09. EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION IN BUDGET. The council can include an emergency appropriation in an amount not to exceed ten per cent of the total approved budget.

A transfer from the emergency appropriation to any other appropriation requires

Bandits take the lead The Bloomington Bandits are off to a flying start in the Riverview Amateur Baseball League.

In addition to being undefeated at 6-0 in league play, the Bandits are 16-1 overall.

Upcoming games of interest feature the Edina ESOX against the Minnetonka Millers at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, June 30, at Minnetonka’s Veterans Field and the Northwest Suburbs Redhawks against Bloomington at 8 p.m.

The Bandits will play their biggest game to date when they face second-place Minnetonka at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, July 10, at Minnetonka’s Veterans Field.

A lot could change by then, but it looks as if Bloomington and Minnetonka might battle it out until the end. St. Louis Park, a perennial contender, will be in the mix as well.

Minnetonka had just one loss in Riverview League play going into this week’s action.

Canterbury fireworks Canterbury Park will offer a fireworks display plus a pair of stakes races Sunday, July 3. Post time is 4 p.m.

Jennifer Houck The 27-year-old from Bloomington placed fifth in the women’s division of the 35th annual Grandma’s Marathon race June 18 in Duluth. Houck’s time was 2 hours, 33 minutes, 1 second on the 26.2-mile course.

Kimberly Robinson The Bloomington resident placed second in the women’s half-marathon race at Grandma’s Marathon. Robinson, 28, had a time of 1:16:13.

BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Jefferson High School graduate Marcus Alipate heard from many college basketball coaches around the country. But the Jaguar basketball standout decided to stay close to home and attend the University of St. Thomas this fall.

Alipate was a four-year varsity point guard for the Jaguars and finished as the second-leading boys basketball scorer in school history with 1,270 points. Only center Cole Aldrich surpassed that career total with 1,677 points.

The 6-foot-1, 180-pound Alipate was voted the Jaguars’ Most Valuable Player and also earned all-conference honors as a senior.

Alipate was also the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship award from the Born Again Jocks senior men’s sports organization based in Bloomington.

“I am excited for the opportunity to attend St. Thomas,” said Alipate, whose brother Moses is a quarterback at the University of Minnesota. “St. Thomas is a good academic school and has a strong Division III basketball program.

“I will be enrolling after Labor Day and can’t wait to begin my college career.

Alipate participated in two prep all-star basketball games since his Jaguar team was eliminated in the section playoffs last March. Those experiences should help prepare him for the college level.

Alipate competed for the Gold team in the Minnesota State Boys Basketball Coaches’ All-State Series April 1-2 at St. Cloud State and Macalester. He finished with 15 points and 10 assists in two tournament games for the Gold squad.

The Jefferson grad also participated for Team Wisdom in another all-star tournament June 19 at St. Cloud.

“It was a fun experience playing in those all-star games,” said Alipate. “I got a chance

“We feel like we can battle for one of the top spots in the league again this summer,” said Bandits coach George Walker. “We want to make another run at getting to state.

“So far, we have gotten very good pitching and solid hitting and defense.

We have beaten three excellent teams – Edina, Minnetonka and St. Louis Park.”

“Yorobe has been on our team since seventh grade and will try out for North Dakota State University’s golf squad next season.”

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers.

Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada

Reader Advisory: The National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the above classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers.

Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada
