Hodges: Body cameras should have been on | Department to update policy after Fulton shooting

By Nate Gotlieb / ngotlieb@journalmpls.com Mayor Betsy Hodges said she believes body cameras should have been activated for a fatal shooting July 15 in the Fulton neighborhood.

In a statement, Hodges said she expects body cameras will be active the moment an officer begins responding to a call, whether it comes from dispatch or is initiated by the officer.

“Body cams should have been on in this case,” she said.

Her statement came as the Minneapolis Police Department begins to re-evaluate its body camera

policy after the shooting death of Justine Damond, 40,

by Officer Mohamed Noor.

Noor shot Damond, whose legal name is Justine Ruszczyk, through a squad car window, as he and Officer Matthew Harrity responded to a 911 call placed

by Damond about a possible assault. He has not talked to investigators about the incident.

The shooting is the third high-profile police shooting in the Twin Cities in the past few years. It has also

Mayor Betsy Hodges said body cameras "should have been on" when Justine Damond was shot by police. She addressed the media July 18 with Medaria Arradondo, later named interim police chief, and Council Member Linea Palmisano. Photo by Nate Gotlieb

Neighborhood Sp tlight

Breweries have flocked to the downtown neighborhood in recent years

By Eric Best / ebest@journalmpls.com If you wanted to go to a brewery in the North Loop, you only had one option a few years ago. Now more and more breweries are staking their claim in the burgeoning neighborhood instead of Northeast Minneapolis.

Ryan Petz, CEO of the neighborhood’s original brewery, Fulton Beer, said instead of a sole brewery separated from other taprooms, they find themselves these days among growing numbers of brewers. The added competition has helped, not hindered their business.

“We’re not out on an island. We are a region,” Petz said.

When Fulton began brewing in its North

Loop facility in 2011, the neighborhood wasn’t what it is now, but the Minnesota Twins were playing their first season at Target Field and Petz said that gave them hope things could turn around.

What the neighborhood did have was a bunch of warehouses, buildings with the right infrastructure for breweries. The Warehouse District’s historic structures, with their tall ceilings and durable construction, lend themselves to taproom and breweries, Petz said.

“At the end of the day those are where the buildings are and that’s where the breweries will go,” he said.

Twins games and the right building also

drew Modist Brewing, a brewery that opened last spring off Washington Avenue at 5th & 3rd in the neighborhood. Co-founder and head of sales John Donnelly said their building, a previously vacant 18,000-squarefoot warehouse, had everything they needed, from a thick concrete floor and loading docks to a tall ceiling and the necessary square footage. Northeast Minneapolis has plenty of industrial buildings, he said, but it’s saturated with taprooms.

“We thought, ‘Why not look at the Warehouse District?’” he said.

Struggling to understand Friends remember Justine Damond, shot and killed by police after calling 911

By Michelle Bruch / mbruch@journalmpls.com Don Damond spent hours preparing to stand before the television cameras on his front lawn and talk about his fiancée, Justine Damond, who died July 15 in a police shooting in the alley behind Washburn Avenue at West 51st Street. So when he finished his statement and walked inside, his friends were surprised to see him head out again.

“I want to hug my neighbors,” friends recalled him saying.

Neighbors noticed the household had run out of Kleenex and brought fresh boxes.

Friends intercepted bridesmaid dresses arriving for the wedding next month. Others spent time meditating with the family and paged through a scrapbook created for the 40th birthday of Damond, also known as Justine Ruszczyk.

The last words Don Damond heard from his fiancée were that police had arrived, according to friends. She had called 911 to report hearing sex noises and a woman yell out “help.” She called a second time eight minutes later, still hearing screaming behind the house, to make sure police were coming.

According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, the officers drove south into the alley with the squad lights off, searching for a suspect. As they neared 51st Street, the officer driving the squad said he was startled by a loud sound. A search warrant said a woman slapped the back of the patrol car. The officer said Damond approached the open driver’s side window, and Officer Mohamed Noor shot from the passenger seat. She died of a single gunshot wound to the abdomen.

Noor had as of press time declined to share information with the BCA; his attorney shared Noor’s condolences with some news outlets and did not respond for comment.

The shooting jarred community members and prompted vigils and marches, some silent and some with megaphones. Mayor Betsy Hodges asked for and received the resignation of Police Chief Janeé Harteau.

City officials are revisiting policies on body cameras and use of force.

While anger is often expressed on the microphones, it’s not the prevailing emotion at the Damond house, according to friends.

Sharon Hills-Bonczyk said the apparent fightor-flight response in the shooting opens an opportunity to take a breath and understand how this can happen.

“That’s what her work was all about,” Hills-Bonczyk said. “… Are we operating out of fear or out of love? I think all her work revolved around how we can grow and support each other in love.”

Friend Jay Peterson said he expects Damond’s spiritual group of friends to “take the high road.”

“Hopefully that can spread. I know that’s what Justine would want, because the officer that did the shooting, he’s in this hell right now,” Peterson said. “He just shot a meditation teacher. He’s going to be paying [for] that for the rest of his life. So having compassion for him and his family, we’ll probably be holding some kind of thing for him too.

Because we’re all connected.”

Sydney to Minneapolis To coincide with a sunrise vigil in Australia, Damond’s local friends and family gathered for a silent vigil at her Minneapolis house.

And while Australians threw flowers into the ocean near her childhood home, her Minneapolis friends gathered in silence at 5809 Yoga, the yoga studio she attended in the Kenny neighborhood.

and was astonished to learn about ice shanties standing on frozen lakes.

She hosted meditation nights at Lake Harriet Spiritual Community and volunteered at Secondhand Hounds, where she drew on her education in veterinary medicine to help with rescue animal intakes. She once met a woman in Egypt who rescued animals. When the woman broke her arm, she flew dogs to Damond, who took them in and found them homes.

“Animals reacted to her differently than they reacted to the general public,” said Rachel Mairose, executive director of Secondhand Hounds. “She had a calming energy.”

People adored her too, she said. Mairose met Damond during a dog temperament test that typically takes 15 minutes. They ended up talking for two hours.

“She knew and was close to people all over the world,” Mairose said. “It’s incredible how many connections she made.”

Peterson talked about her humor, which was on display when another friend recently suggested a pizza night.

“She said, ‘We’re in a cleanse right now because we’re getting ready for the wedding, so we’ll just have some vegetables.’ And as soon as we get there, she’s like, ‘Yeah, I don’t know who hijacked my phone. We’re going to eat whatever we want.’”

Everyone was looking forward to their Hawaii wedding on the beach next month, Hills-Bonczyk said.

“Justine had said these were the happiest years of her life,” she said.

An inspiration

Don Damond is comforted by his son, Zach, as he speaks about the shooting death of his fiancée. Photo by Nate Gotlieb Damond was born in Iran, spent much of her life in Australia and moved to the U.S. in recent years. She worked for years at her father’s Dymocks Books shop near Sydney, overseeing the children’s section for a time.

“She’d tell stories about how she literally grew up in a bookstore, right next to where she lived,” Hills-Bonczyk said.

In videotaped lectures at the Lake Harriet Spiritual Community, Damond said she went through a difficult period in younger years.

After losing much of her mother’s extended family to cancer, Damond watched her mother battle alcoholism and depression.

Damond said she felt terrified of the genes in her own body and developed an eating disorder through extreme juice detoxing. Her mother died of cancer when Damond was about 22.

“As I watched her as I was growing up, I was so determined not to be her. Not to fall down the way that she had fallen down,” she said.

Damond became interested in “the extraordinary,” taking advantage of her father’s

bookstore to research topics like miracles and spontaneous remissions.

She trained as a yoga instructor in Bali and spent time in India, and went on to work as a senior trainer for Joe Dispenza, a lecturer and author who talks about rewiring the brain to effect life change.

Don Damond first saw his future fiancée present at a Dispenza workshop. Friends said he followed her around like a puppy, even though he thought she was out of his league.

It helped that Damond had recently made a list of 20 qualities she was looking for in a man, and he had them all.

“Both of them just dove into it,” said HillsBonczyk’s daughter, Summer. “It was a bit of a fairytale.”

'A calming energy' Sharon Hills-Bonczyk said she was a bit nervous to see Don Damond’s Australian girlfriend relocate to Minneapolis in the middle of winter, but she embraced Minnesota culture. Damond played in the leaves in fall

Family friend Tom Hyder recalled his last conversation with Damond the week she died — she’d been awake until 4 a.m. the night before preparing for a new meditation course.

“She was on fire about her work,” he said.

In lectures at Lake Harriet Spiritual Community, she played a video of hearingimpaired people using equipment to hear sound for the first time. She skyped with a “breatharian” who was living on three or four meals per week. She said bodies become conditioned to live in a stress response and replay the day’s awful moments, and she recommended exercise, deep breathing and “gratitude meditation” to break the brain’s habits and change perceptions about what is possible.

“I want my superpower to be the bringer of spring,” she said in one lecture, describing the image of spring returning to a dark landscape in Disney movies. “I wanted that energy, that essence to be me. I wanted it to be me in every person I met, so there’s creativity and inspiration and growth with every person I come in contact with in my coaching and my healing work. I wanted that energy to be there in my community, and I wanted that to filter through to the planet.”

Damond’s family has created a memorial fund in her name to support charitable causes related to social justice, available through generosity.com.

The BCA investigation continues. Investigators interviewed a witness who was biking on 51st Street prior to the shooting and stopped at the scene. The BCA will present the final findings without recommendation to the Hennepin County Attorney. The Hennepin County Attorney will decide whether to press charges.

Dalton & Wade Whiskey Common, a bar and restaurant offering country-style cuisine and more than 200 American whiskeys, will open Wednesday in the North Loop.

The concept from co-owners Dan O’Brien, Sean Geraty and Corey, John and Paul Abdo is based on a “Western Wednesday” tradition the group of friends host when they enjoy movies over whiskey. In fact, the restaurant is named for the bouncers played by Patrick Swayze and Sam Elliott in the 1989 film “Road House.”

“You’ve got a little bit of polish, a little bit of rustic, a little bit of dirty and clean spots in other places,” Paul Abdo said.

The result, a 130-seat restaurant offering an Americana menu and a humble whiskeyfocused beverage program, is located on the main level of T3, a newly constructed office building off Washington Avenue.

The approximately 4,000-square foot restaurant’s menu is designed by Corner Table founder Scott Pampuch and executed by head chef Eli Renn. Dalton & Wade covers a wide swath of American food. It’s country food, Pampuch said, but “all over the country,” from Midwestern-style elkand-bison meatloaf and Tennessee hot ribs to smoked brisket and a Nashville-inspired bologna sandwich with meat from Lowry Hill Meats.

Haunted Basement

The creeps of the Haunted Basement have found a new home to haunt.

After separating from the Soap Factory earlier this year, the independently run horror attraction will move northeast to a former General Mills research facility for its eleventh season.

The building, part of a 14-building complex, is located at 2010 E. Hennepin Ave. near the Como and Mid-City Industrial neighborhoods.

The Haunted Basement, a popular haunted house that combines the arts with a unique horror experience, was located in the Southeast Minneapolis art gallery’s basement for ten seasons. The non-profit arts organization is looking to renovate its historic building, rehabilitate its masonry and add a potential restaurant space.

In finding a new home, Creative

Director Christopher Barton said the team “trudged through a lot of basements to find the right location.”

“When we viewed the dark corners, twists and turns in 2010 Hennepin’s basement space, it was love at first sight. We have options here we’ve never had before.

The new digs are perfect for us — miserably, horribly perfect,” he said in a statement.

The new location will see more yearround events beyond the Haunted Basement’s busy Halloween season, the team said. The attraction’s next season begins Sept. 29. Tickets will become available Aug. 1 at hauntedbasement.org.

Barton said to “expect darker, expect bleaker … expect the unexpected” this season.

“Now that the Haunted Basement lives here, every day really is Halloween,” he said.

Chowgirls Killer Catering

Chowgirls Killer Catering has opened its new office headquarters and kitchen, a move that took it across Northeast Minneapolis from the Sheridan neighborhood to the Mid-City Industrial area.

The new location is twice the size of local caterer’s previous headquarters, providing room for the growing company to meet demand for catering.

Owners Amy Lynn Brown and Heidi Andermack bought the building, previously home to Joseph Catering, last summer and have redesigned the space with the help of Locus Architecture. The new location features a 3,000-square-foot kitchen, offices and a tasting room.

Over its 14-year-history, the company has

grown to roughly 130 staff and now operates its own venue in the Solar Arts building.

Chowgirls Killer Catering is looking to turn the Hollywood Theater into an event space.

“We’re so happy we can continue to grow while remaining in Northeast, a place near and dear to us,” Brown said. “We feel optimistic and re-energized now that we can say yes to more events, including being ready for all the great opportunities with the upcoming [Super Bowl].”

The building is located at 336 Hoover St. NE in the Mid-City Industrial neighborhood.

The facility features work from Northeast Minneapolis-based artists and companies like Chank Diesel, SignMinds, Mercury Mosaics, Primitive Precision and FindFurnish.

Another Illinois-based restaurant chain has made the jump to the Twin Cities.

Roti Modern Mediterranean opened in mid-July inside the IDS Center’s Crystal Court, replacing Cosi, a Boston-based soup and salad chain.

This is the first location in the state from Roti, which serves customizable rice plates, laffa wraps, pita sandwiches and salads. The company operates restaurants in Illinois; Washington, D.C.; Maryland; Virginia; New York; and Texas.

The office tower has been going through some changes to its retail tenants, with a Nordstrom Rack set to open in the former The Gap and Gap Kids spaces in September.

The longstanding Love From Minnesota shop has rebranded as Lók( )l Minnesota.

Roti is now open at 80 S. 8th St. on the IDS Center’s main level.

NORTH LOOP

Denver’s Upstairs Circus opens arts-and-crafts bar in the North Loop When guests belly up to the bar at Upstairs Circus they have a menu for food, drinks — and crafts.

The Denver-based company is a unique kind of bar and event space where diners book a time to make arts and crafts in addition to enjoying a cocktail or snack. Thanks to family in the Twin Cities area, Upstairs Circus has expanded, opening its next Parisian circus-themed location in downtown’s North Loop neighborhood.

Founder Kelly Johannsen, the idea person behind the concept, said the name came from her husband, who used to joke, “Stop it with the ideas. It’s like you’ve got a circus up there.”

“It kind of turned into flying in the face of the ‘canvas and cocktails’ and the ‘sipping and painting.’ We wanted to be something different,” she said.

The Minneapolis location will be led by Johannsen’s sister Shannon Schmidt and her husband Randy, who both grew up near White Bear Lake. The Twin Cities bar will be the third location of Upstairs Circus, which opened its first location in Denver’s lower downtown or LoDo neighborhood more than three years ago and a second bar in the DTC or Denver Tech Center area more than a year ago.

At Upstairs Circus, groups reserve a seat at a project social, a block of time when they come in to dine and make a craft at communal tables. They then choose from a menu of 30 or so projects with hundreds of

potential color, material and design customizations, along with various time commitments and difficulties. Upstairs Circus creates kits with all the supplies, tools and instructions participants need to finish a craft.

Projects range from the popular nail and string art, a moderately difficult and somewhat lengthy craft option, to necklaces with a tassel or stamped charm, which take just an hour on average. The most difficult projects involve working with leather, from a DIY pet collar to a clutch purse. Crafters, who have to be at least 18 or have a waiver signed by a guardian, will cut and sand wine bottles from the bar into tumblers as part of another project.

If someone needs help, bartenders and creative assistants — staff share both bartending and crafting duties, Schmidt said — will be around to help.

The Minneapolis location adds food to the mix. While crafting, guests can order $12 flatbreads or other snacks or enjoy a dozen circus-themed specialty cocktails ($8–$9), local craft beer or wine. Schmidt said despite the bar’s unique focus, they don’t skimp out on the beverage program.

“We make good cocktails,” she said. “[The bar is] not a wine cart in the corner.”

Upstairs Circus will carry takeout menus from local restaurants, including Red Rabbit across the street, and will allow guests to bring in their own food.

of Sex World, seats 84 people and can host large groups — even weddings. The building is part of a rehabilitation project from Falcon Ridge Partners to redo the building for new office and retail tenants.

Now known as The Washington, the complex is or will be home to menswear retailer Bonobos, a Bank of American location, boutique fitness studio ALTR and new office tenants. The adult store is still located in the back of the building.

Upstairs Circus typically hosts two project socials daily, a happy hour social 3 p.m.–6 p.m. and an evening social 7 p.m.–10 p.m.

Upstairs Circus has “Making ‘n Mimosas” brunches 11 a.m.–2 p.m. on weekends, its most popular events. The events cost about $36–$39 per person before food and drinks.

Police Chief Janeé Harteau steps down Hodges asked for her resignation following Damond shooting

By Michelle Bruch / mbruch@journalmpls.com Police Chief Janeé Harteau resigned July 21 at Mayor Betsy Hodges’ request. The mayor nominated Assistant Chief Medaria Arradondo as the city’s new Police Chief.

“As far as we have come, Chief Harteau is not in a position to lead us further — and from the many conversations I’ve had with people around our city, especially this week, I know that some in Minneapolis have lost confidence in police leadership,” Hodges said.

“For us to continue to transform policing — and community trust in policing — both the chief and I concluded we need new leadership at MPD.” Protesters interrupted Hodges’ remarks at a press conference, chanting “Bye bye Betsy” and taking over the microphone.

“We’re not going to be tricked by this effort,” said one protester. “… We understand that Chief Arradondo looks like us, but we understand that he’s not one of us, that he works for a police department that has a history of brutalizing us. … This is just a cosmetic change, and we want institutional change.”

When Hodges returned to the podium later in the evening, she said change would not happen overnight, and said the city has made progress in rolling out body cameras and training officers.

“I hope people agree that there is no magic wand for public safety,” she said.

While she said Minneapolis has done more than any other city in America to transform policing, and gave Harteau “tremendous credit” for that work, she said the resignation follows an overall assessment of her performance.

“The events of the last week have reinforced for me that we need that change, and it’s the right time,” she said.

Harteau said the July 15 police officer shooting of Fulton resident Justine Damond and other recent incidents led her to deeply reflect on the department.

“The recent incidents do not reflect the training and procedures we’ve developed as a Department,” Harteau said in a statement.

“Despite the MPD’s many accomplishments under my leadership over these years and my love for the City, I have to put the communities we serve first. I’ve decided I am willing to step aside to let a fresh set of leadership eyes see what more can be done for the MPD to be the very best it can be.”

Shortly before her resignation, Harteau said police are not activating body cameras enough.

She said she wanted Officer Mohamed Noor to answer questions about the shooting, and said she was concerned about the incident’s impact on the Somali community. Based on available information, she said the shooting went against MPD values, and stressed that it was the judgment of a single individual.

In her 30-year career with the Minneapolis Police Department, Harteau cited career accom-

plishments including MPD 2.0, a program to improve accountability and professional standards. She’s often repeated the mantra that officers should treat community members like family members.

“My goal with MPD 2.0 was to leave the department better than when I became Chief, and I believe that we have,” she wrote in a statement announcing her decision.

Arradondo joined the MPD in 1989. He has served as a South Minneapolis patrol officer, school resource officer, Northside beat officer, Downtown inspector, internal affairs investigator, property crime investigator, deputy chief and chief of staff. He graduated from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis and is a graduate of Metropolitan State University, Concordia University, the Senior Management Institute for Police in Boston and the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.

Arradondo also oversaw department-wide training in topics like implicit bias, the public’s perception of fairness in policing and historical damage in police-community relationships.

Prior to Harteau’s resignation announcement, some council members voiced frustration at a City Council meeting July 21.

Council Member Andrew Johnson said he’s heard from many residents who said they no longer feel safe calling 911.

“We should have greater oversight of the police department,” Johnson said. “Right now it is just the mayor as our only civilian leader overseeing the police department. We literally have more oversight of potholes than we do of police.”

Johnson said he’d support immediately spending about $60,000 for technology that activates body cameras the moment a nearby officer removes a gun from the holster.

Council Member Linea Palmisano said the use of force in policing is too often disproportionate to the actual danger.

“If the current state laws can’t get guilty verdicts when police kill our citizens, we need new laws,” Palmisano said in a statement.

“When police are using their guns in a destructive manner, we must rethink our use-of-force policies. Yes. We must revamp our body camera policies and technology. Not just so we have recordings of these incidents, but so the cameras themselves act as a deterrent and can build trust in our community.”

Council Member Jacob Frey said the city needs a new chief, and said it’s time to be angry and take action. Frey said officials should consider a “rebuttable presumption” of misconduct or illegality if an incident happens and a body camera isn’t turned on.

Frey said the council should also consider the difference between self-defense claims for officers and civilians. Under current law, civilians must show a reasonable person would act in self-defense in similar circumstances, he said, while officers must simply profess that fear caused them to act in self-defense.

“How do you rebut a person’s subjective intent without knowing what’s in their head?” he asked.

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Bureau of Criminal Apprehension continues to investigate the July 15 shooting.

The shooting led to the resignation of Minneapolis Police Chief Janeé Harteau and has left City Council and community members demanding systemic changes to the Police Department.

Before announcing her resignation, former Harteau said she believed body cameras should have been activated. She said changes would be coming to ensure body cameras are on well in advance of situations. She also mentioned new technology to ensure activation and reduce human error, such as a system that would activate the camera when an officer removes his gun from his holster.

“My expectation is that our policy is followed,” Harteau said. “Based on the information the BCA has released and without additional information as to why the cameras weren’t on, it is my belief that the cameras should have been activated.”

MPD policy requires manual activation, when safe to do so, in 14 situations, including prior to the use of any force.

The policy is in line with best practices, the League of Minnesota Cities’ policy and other departments’ policies, Harteau said.

Minneapolis’ Police Conduct Oversight Commission, a civilian group, recommended two years ago that cameras be activated for all consensual community contacts, all calls for service and all law enforcement activities. It heard from community members a desire to activate cameras at all times, but was mindful of barriers, including storage costs, continuous recording acting as mass surveillance and the need for officers to have discretion in certain situations, such as when taking statements from crime victims.

MPD accepted many if not most of the

becomes adversarial, among others.

Officers must wear equipment while on shift, including off-duty assignments, and make sure it’s functioning properly at the start of each shift. They must remove themselves from service if their cameras lose power.

Concerns over consequences Jake Laperruque, senior counsel for the The Constitution Project, a Washington D.C. think tank, said he thought Minneapolis’ policy generally seemed good.

“In general, it seemed like they were striving for all law enforcement actions,” Laperruque said.

Next steps

Agreement from research, advocacy groups Research and advocacy groups appear to agree with her. The Police Executive Research Forum, a national research organization, recommends officers be required to activate when responding to all calls for service and during all law enforcementrelated encounters and activities that occur while the officer is on duty.

It recommends officers be required to obtain consent prior to recording interviews with crime victims. It also recommends giving officers discretion to keep cameras off during conversations with crime witnesses and community members who want to report or discuss criminal activity in their neighborhood.

The American Civil Liberties Union has a similar position. It advocates for activation for any call for service and any law enforcement or investigative encounter between a police officer and a member of the public.

The Fraternal Order of Police recommends a slightly more limited approach.

It recommends activation during all field contacts involving actual or potential

and Human Rights, a national group, said Minneapolis’ policy clearly describes when officers must record and requires officers to provide justifications for failing to record. However, it cited concerns about allowing officers to deactivate the cameras to conserve power or storage.

Joseph Jerome, policy counsel for Washington D.C.-based Center for Democracy & Technology, which advocates activation for any public interaction, said he thinks based on a quick read of Minneapolis policy that it provides too much wiggle room.

Dave Bicking, a board member of Communities United Against Police Brutality in Minneapolis, called the policy a “weak policy with no enforcement.”

“They know there’s no consequences,” he said. “They know that every officer in the department is blatantly violating the policy.”

In a memo from last year, the city argued for a need for discretion on consequences for violating the policy. The final version says employees who violate the policy will be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.

Body cameras were not activiated when police shot and killed a woman in July.

His organization issued a report in December citing research that recording dropped by as much as 42 percent when officers were granted discretion to deactivate.

Ward 13 City Council Member Linea Palmisano, who represents the Fulton neighborhood, said her office has begun looking at changes to the body camera program. Those could include new policies, working with the PCOC on a review of compliance and using her authority as chair of the audit Committee to task the Audit Department with evaluating how body cameras are being used.

PCOC Chair Andrea Brown said her commission would discuss body cameras at its Aug. 8 meeting, which she encouraged people to attend.

Ward 5 Council Member Blong Yang, who chairs the Public Safety, Civil Rights & Emergency Management Committee, said he doesn’t know if Minneapolis’ policy needs as much discretion as it contains.

He added that his committee would be taking a look at how much body cameras are being used. A KSTP-TV report found that usage of the cameras appeared low.

That wasn’t a surprise to Bicking. His group initially supported a policy that required officers to turn cameras on anytime they engaged with the public. Now they don’t support body cameras at all.

“The police department has been well aware that body cameras are just a tool for decoration,” he said.

Ten years later Remembering the Interstate 35W bridge collapse

By Dylan Thomas / dthomas@journalmpls.com Arriving at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport the morning of July 17, the first day of Navy Week in the Twin Cities, Navy Diver 1st Class Brian Bennett checked into his hotel and then boarded a light rail train bound for downtown Minneapolis.

Visiting for the first time in a decade, Bennett found the city’s riverfront almost unrecognizable. When he last departed Minneapolis, after two weeks spent aiding recovery efforts following the collapse of the Interstate 35W bridge over the Mississippi River, the fallen, the crumpled span was still partially submerged in 15 feet of water. It took Bennett a moment to recognize its gleaming white replacement.

As he walked along West River Parkway, Bennett paused at a memorial honoring the 13 people who died in the Aug. 1, 2007 disaster.

During a dozen dives into the Mississippi River, Bennett and other recovery workers used code words to refer to remains, out of concern that the media swarming the site might overhear their radio communications.

Now, he was reading names of the people he searched for amid the bent steel and concrete rubble that filled the river’s murky waters.

“To be able to read some of what the families had written up at the memorial was special,” Bennett said.

Standing on the deck of a Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office watercraft the following afternoon, Bennett and Chief Navy Diver Noah Gottesman released a wreath of white flowers into the Mississippi River, just below the span on the new bridge. The July 18 ceremony honored both the 171 people who were on the old bridge when it collapsed and the scores of responders who rushed to the site — both for rescue operations in the immediate aftermath and the weeks of recovery that followed.

“It was unlike anything we’ve ever seen and hopefully unlike anything we’re ever going to experience again any time in the near future,” Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek said during the ceremony.

The collapse drew not just local first responders from the city, county and surrounding jurisdictions but also state and federal agencies — all of them focusing their efforts on a complex disaster site. When the about half of the 1,907-foot span fell at around 6:05 p.m., 111 vehicles, including a school bus with 63 students and driver, went with it.

Seventeen vehicles landed in the water.

Less than 90 minutes later, the last survivor was rescued. A report issued after an investi-

gation by the U.S. Fire Administration lauded the cooperative response.

“The City of Minneapolis was as well prepared as any local jurisdiction could be to handle a major incident,” the report noted.

The National Transportation and Safety Board later determined the gusset plates connecting the 40-year-old bridge’s steel beams were too thin, a design flaw that had been overlooked for decades, and that years of stress and corrosion led up to the structure’s sudden collapse under the weight of rushhour traffic.

Two members of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers were standing along the wall at the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam, and like dozens of other witnesses immediately called 911. Col. Sam Calkins, who commands the corps’ St. Paul District, said they opened gates for first-responders to get through then launched a boat to help rescue survivors.

“The Corps of Engineers’ mission includes disaster response, but we’re used to responding to things like hurricanes, floods and other natural disasters, not things like this,” Calkins said. “This disaster was new to us and unique in our history, and we were lucky to be so close.”

Even luckier, he added, was that a maintenance team was working with a crane just upstream of the bridge at the time. The team stayed on site for a month, using the crane to load and unload equipment and dive platforms and to remove debris from the river.

“If they hadn’t been there, there wouldn’t have been any crane support,” Calkins said. “It wouldn’t have been possible to get anything north of the bridge.”

Barret Lane, a former City Council member and now director of the Minneapolis Office of Emergency Management, was at the time of the collapse working on emergency response planning on a contract basis for the city. Not long after the collapse, Lane was called into

the city’s Emergency Operations Center, then located in an undersized space in the basement of City Hall.

“It was full and cramped and warm,” he said, noting that the collapse prompted the city to move emergency operations to a larger space just north of city limits.

Lane had previously joined city staff members and city and county elected officials at an emergency management training program in Mount Weather, Virginia, an experience he described as critical to the systematic and orderly response to the collapse.

“Obviously, we didn’t prepare for that particular bridge or any bridge falling down,” he said, but the relationships and understanding established during that training session gave first responders in the field and staff in the operations center a clear understanding of their roles.

“The real takeaway for me is there’s a real payoff in preparedness,” he said.

“Everybody in that room knew what to do,” agreed R.T. Rybak, who was mayor at the time of the collapse and also made the trip to

Mount Weather, which took place during his first term in office.

Rybak recalled racing back to Minneapolis from St. Cloud, where he was doing organizing work for Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, when he both the phones he then carried starting ringing with the news. With things well under control in the emergency operations center, he went to family assistance center at a nearby Holiday Inn. He sat with family members as some learned their loved ones did not survive.

“I have images of people that flash in front of my face, literally, every time I go over that bridge, and I probably always will,” he said.

“I also think about it when I realize how little we’ve done to keep it from happening again, which I think is a damning indictment,” Rybak added. “I think we should celebrate the 10th anniversary and all of the great things that have happened, and I think we should also look in the mirror and be disgusted that almost nothing has been done in this country to keep it from happening again.”

Honerbrink now plans run for Park Board A Republican candidate for mayor of Minneapolis announced he is dropping out of that race — and into the race for an at-large Park Board seat.

Jonathan Honerbrink launched his bid for mayor this spring, aiming to break the DFL’s nearly four-decade-long hold on the office. In an announcement issued July 14, Honerbrink said his decision to try instead for election as a Park Board commissioner came “after hearing from many residents about the structural deficiencies with the management of the park system.”

All nine seats on the Park Board come open this fall, and a slate of progressive candidates is contending. Earlier this month, delegates to the DFL city convention endorsed Russ Henry, Londel French and Devin Hogan for the three at-large seats; all three are also endorsed by the Sen. Bernie Sanders-inspired Our Revolution Twin Cities.

A West Calhoun resident, Honerbrink is self-employed as a consultant to the development and construction industries. He previously worked for Home Depot.

Honerbrink said he has coached park league football teams and helped on donations drives to benefit the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board. He said he is

familiar with both the system and many of the people who work in it.

“I know there are a lot of good people there,” he said.

In an interview, Honerbrink said he would like to see the Park Board invest in new community centers with more programming for both adults and children, including music and the arts in addition to sports. He said solar installations on Park Board buildings could eventually help to pay for improvements.

“There are so many good things that can be done with kids when they have a place to go,” he said. “They can stay out of trouble.”

Honerbrink said he would also push the Park Board to “disinvest” in properties like Meadowbrook Golf Club, which has been closed since extensive flooding in 2014. It is located outside of city limits. “(The Park Board) should not own a property in St. Louis Park,” he said.

Honerbrink had previously registered a campaign fundraising committee for his mayoral race with Hennepin County. The filing period for all Minneapolis offices opens Aug. 1.

GREEN DIGEST

County seeks nonprofits’ help on organics recycling $100,000 available to nonprofits for organics education and outreach Hennepin County will offer up to eight nonprofits up to $10,000 for residentialorganics education and outreach projects, it announced July 13.

The county will teach representatives from the nonprofits about organics recycling and have them research barriers to it in their communities. The nonprofits will work with county staff to develop their projects.

The effort comes as Hennepin County continues to work toward the recycling and waste-diversion targets set as part of the 2012 solid waste management master plan. The plan calls for reducing waste by six percent overall and recycling 75 percent of waste by 2030. It also calls for diverting 91 percent of waste away from landfills.

Hennepin County recycled about 51 percent of all waste in 2016, according to an April report. It diverted 82 percent of waste away from landfills, a rate on part with national leaders, according to the report.

Organic waste, especially food waste, appears to be a significant area in which the county could improve. Organic material represented about 25 percent of material by weight found during a waste sort conducted in May 2016 in Minneapolis. Food waste represented about 19 percent of the material by weight.

Organic material produces methane gas as it breaks down in landfills, according to Tim Farnan, principal planner in the Sustainable

WE PRODUCE NATURAL JUICE PRODUCTS

Materials Management Unit of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency. The material can instead be used to create compost, a product with environmental benefits.

Compost helps soil retain water and can help plants be more drought resistant, he said.

In addition, using compost typical reduces the need for herbicides and pesticides.

Just 3 percent of all waste in the county was diverted to organics recycling in 2016. At the same time, residential organics recycling increased by 181 percent in 2016 because of Minneapolis completing the roll out of its curbside organics recycling program last June.

More than 42,000 households in Minneapolis participated in curbside organics recycling programs in 2016, a participation rate of 40 percent. Nearly 46,000 households in 11 cities in Hennepin County participated in total, a rate of 11 percent.

Up to $10,000 per organization The new program called Green Partners Grow targets nonprofits in Hennepin County cities that have curbside organics programs (Loretto, Maple Plain, Medicine Lake, Medina, Minneapolis, St. Bonifacius, St. Louis Park and Wayzata).

Representatives of selected organizations will attend two days of training to learn about organics recycling, uncover barriers to it within their audiences and develop a

project plan. The organizations will then receive a grant of up to $10,000 and free supplies to implement their projects.

Angie Timmons, environmental education and outreach coordinator for Hennepin County, said it’s important to facilitate that peer-to-peer interaction on organics recycling.

The goal is not just to get more participants, she said, but also to teach tips and tricks to people who already participate.

“It’s what works best for their community, but then we also arm them with ideas,” she said.

Participation in Minneapolis Kellie Kish, recycling coordinator for Minneapolis, said a barrier to organics recycling is that many people simply don’t know about it. Kish’s department has had interns go door to door to tell residents about the program, especially in areas of the city with lower participation rates.

That effort has helped get all neighborhoods in Minneapolis to at least 20-percent participation.

Kish added that another barrier is concern about the smell.

She said her office had encouraged Hennepin County to do a grant program just for organics. They would hear from cultural groups that they didn’t staff time to encourage people to participate in the program.

Over 45,000 households, or 42.6 percent of Minneapolis Solid Waste and Recycling

customers, had signed up to participate in organics recycling as of Monday, according to David Herberholz, director of the Division of Solid Waste and Recycling. Participating residents diverted 175 pounds of organics per household in the first year of the program.

The division is looking to establish a new formal goal to reach by the end of 2018, Kish said. Right now, it’s still receiving about 100 new sign ups each week. She said sign ups will likely decrease a bit over the winter months, but they are planning another big outreach and education push in the spring.

The North Loop neighborhood had the highest participation rate as of July 10, at 87.9 percent. Linden Hills was next at 66.3 percent, followed by Seward (64.8 percent), ECCO (62.1 percent) and Downtown West (60.7 percent).

Hennepin County is hoping to recruit five to eight nonprofits for the Green Partners Grow program, for which about $100,000 is available, Timmons said. Projects could include sorting activities or helping people following the path of food from the curbside to the compost bin.

The county will host informational meetings about the program on July 25, and applications are due Aug. 11. Visit hennepin.us/ business/work-with-henn-co/green-partnersgrow-application to learn more or apply.

The developer is looking to build the 282-unit apartment building in place of a former U.S. Bank location at Hennepin & 4th. The unnamed tower would feature nearly 5,000 square feet of retail space fronting Hennepin Avenue and a 1,600-square-foot retail space fronting Fourth Street. The project calls for one parking stall per unit or 282 spaces enclosed within the building. The 291-foot high-rise required a conditional use permit for height and would be among the neighborhood’s tallest buildings.

Mortenson first proposed the project, once approximately 28 stories, in 2015.

Kraus-Anderson has broken ground on an eight-story luxury hotel as part of its full-block redevelopment in the Elliot Park neighborhood. The developer, which will be based on the same block once it completes its new headquarters building, recently sold the real estate of the 168-unit Elliot Park Hotel to Washingtonbased Wilkinson Corp. The hotel, slated to open next summer, will feature a farm-to-table Italian restaurant called Tavola. In addition to the hotel and office building, Kraus-Anderson is building the 17-story H.Q. apartment building and a Finnegan’s microbrewery on the block.

ESG Architects designed the Elliot Park Hotel, which will be a part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection.

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board is moving forward with the demolition of the Fuji Ya building near the Mill District as it prepares to build a new park destination called Water Works.

The board is in the midst of garnering approvals for demolition, which will uncover older mill ruins that it plans to incorporate into a new glass restaurant pavilion. The Park Board submitted plans to the Heritage Preservation Commission for its July 25 meeting. Once completed in 2019, Water Works will feature a restaurant open all year, restrooms and accessibility improvements.

206 Washington John Rimarcik, a prolific Minneapolis building and business owner, has submitted plans to demolish a former auto repair garage in the North Loop. The one-story building is next door to the Lowry-Morrison Building, a threestory historic warehouse at Washington & 2nd that Rimarcik is in the process of renovating for retail and office users. Once demolished, the real estate developer plans to use the site for staging during the rehabilitation project, according to plans submitted to the Heritage Preservation Commission.

Neighborhood Sp tlight North Loop

NORTH LOOP ESSENTIALS Once an industrial area filled with warehouses and factories, the North Loop neighborhood is today a bustling neighborhood of shops, condominiums and some of the city’s best regarded bars and restaurants.

It’s also one of Minneapolis fastest growing neighborhoods. The North Loop’s population more than tripled in 15 years, according to the most recent U.S. Census Bureau data, to 4,681 residents in 2015 from 1,515 in 2000.

This new phase — the North Loop as a place to live, work and play — is just the neighborhood’s latest transformation.

The North Loop contains all of the Warehouse District, formally known as the Minneapolis Warehouse Historic District after its designation as a local historic area in 1978. National designation followed in 1989, and included more of the surrounding blocks. According to a city historic profile, from the second half of the 19th century through the first few decades of the 20th, the district’s warehouses stocked dry goods, groceries, farming implements and other wholesale items that were distributed via railroads throughout the Midwest.

That profile notes the value of Minneapolis’ wholesale business grew from $24 million in 1880 to $280 million in 1907 to $1 billion in 1919. Scores of warehouses built in contemporary commercial architectural styles — including Italianate, Queen Anne,

Richardsonian Romanesque and Classical Revival — were constructed during those boom years. The tallest are between six and 10 stories and built right up to the lot line, creating an impressive urban canyon effect, particularly on Washington Avenue North.

The wholesaling business eventually faded, and the neighborhood declined in the middle of the last century. In the 1980s, artists and galleries took advantage of the vast, cheap-to-rent warehouse spaces, and — repeating a cycle that’s been seen in major cities across the country — they sparked a rejuvenation of the former industrial area (one that would eventually price many of those artists out of the neighborhood).

Today, the North Loop’s top attractions include the Minnesota Twins’ home at Target Field, the Minneapolis Farmers Market and a growing number of destination restaurants and shops, including Eric and Andrew Dayton’s Bachelor Farmer and Askov Finlayson. Neighborhood residents and visitors enjoy parks and trails along the riverfront. And new developments like T3, the largest modern office building constructed of timber in the country, are drawing companies and their workers to the neighborhood.

Boundaries: The North Loop is bounded on the west by Interstate 94 and on the north

by Plymouth Avenue North and the Mississippi River. From the river, the boundary runs southwest along Hennepin Avenue, then to Washington Avenue North, 3rd Avenue North and 12th Street North.

Demographics: The population of the North Loop neighborhood was 4,681 in 2015, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau data compiled by Minnesota Compass. The median household income was $104,457.

Get involved: The North Loop Neighborhood Association’s Board of Directors meets on the last Wednesday of each month at Heritage Landing, 415 N. 1st St. Go to northloop.org for more information.

Signs of the North Loop's industrial past are not hard to spot.

Neighborhood Sp tlight North Loop FROM NORTH LOOP BEER BOOM / PAGE 1 which they partnered with to win last year’s In Cahoots, a festival at Red Stag Supperclub that pairs breweries across the city to collaborate in brewing a beer specifically for the event. When they opened, Donnelly and Dan Wellendorf of Modist said they even borrowed some ingredients from Fulton.

“We’re there all the time. They’re here all the time,” they said. “We’ve been so tight since day one.”

The connections don’t end there. Donnelly and Modist co-founder Kale Anderson are former staff members at Lucid Brewing, a brewery that moved from Minnetonka to the North Loop to open up a new taproom and brewing operation last year. The taproom, known as Inbound Brewco, is located on the north side of the neighborhood at 5th & 7th, about a block from Fulton.

Co-founders Jon Messier and Eric Biermann changed the name of the company to North Loop BrewCo to better reflect that they are a local company. The move allowed them to tap into a growing number of residents and get more feedback from customers.

“The North Loop is known for great restaurants and with its (proximity) to downtown it looked like a good, fun market to be in,” Messier said.

The latest brewery to move to the area is Pryes Brewing Co., which is located about a block outside the North Loop near the Plymouth Avenue Bridge. Founder Jeremy Pryes opened the taproom, known for its Miraculum IPA, earlier this summer. He said the location is a "pivot point" for bar crawls between down-

“We’re connecting all the breweries to the North Loop,” Pryes said.

shorter than the building’s 25-foot ceilings.

Before stumbling on the warehouse, Pryes had resorted to going door to door asking property owners to rent their building.

“When I figured how tall it was, that was it. It was perfect,” he said.

The neighborhood’s brewing scene continues to grow and diversify. Clockwerks Brewing, a steampunk-style brewery led by two homebrewers, opened on the opposite end of the neighborhood near 1st & 4th last fall. The Freehouse, a pub with an onsite brewery, opened at the end of 2013 and offers four core brews.

Given the North Loop’s sturdy infrastructure and rising popularity, Wellendorf said, there should be other taprooms opening soon enough.

“Since taprooms are on the climb, foot traffic becomes so important. The North Loop has the best combination of buildings and foot traffic,” he said. “I think the North Loop will keep being a destination for breweries.”

A NEW DAY AT TULLIBEE Bradley Day has taken the helm of the Hewing Hotel restaurant Eric Best / ebest@journalmpls.com The new executive chef at Tullibee could not have come from a place farther from the North Loop.

Bradley Day quietly took the helm of the Hewing Hotel restaurant in the spring and has been learning the ropes of the neighborhood and the Twin Cities ever since.

The Australian has put in many years cooking across the world after moving from his native Perth, a coastal city that’s more than 10,000 miles away from the Twin Cities.

Day comes to Minneapolis from New York, where he worked as the executive chef of Asia de Cuba and STK Downtown. Before that, Day was in London where he cooked under renowned chefs Jean-George Vongerichten and Gordon Ramsay.

Now, after many miles traveled, Day is at the helm of a restaurant that uses local, seasonal ingredients to serve uniquely Midwestern food. We caught up with Day to talk about his journey. This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.

The Journal: How are you settling into the Twin Cities?

Day: I just moved last weekend. I live in Eden Prairie where I’ve got a big front yard and big backyard and a house. It’s really different. My wife just got here and my kids didn’t get here until [mid-July]. She’s from Des Moines, Iowa.

We’re fortunate enough that my in-laws live in Iowa so the kids stayed with them while we got the house together. [My kids] are New Yorkers. One was born in Manhattan and one was born in Westchester. We’ve moved a lot.

My friends call me a gypsy.

What brought you to Minneapolis?

We were looking to move closer to the Midwest, obviously to be closer to my in-laws.

It’s pretty hard in New York to keep a balance.

I’d finish some days at 3 a.m. and then try

not too dissimilar to how I’ve grown up. I grew up on the coast with a fishing lifestyle.

We have surfing and things, but there’s a lot more farmland than people realize. There’s a wine region. There’s chocolate plants, creameries and a lot of cattle. You can come into the city and live the city lifestyle and 20, 30 minutes away you’re sitting around the lake.

It’s the best of both worlds.

What will be changing at Tullibee?

to get home around 4 [a.m.]. With a young family, it’s hard to stay focused and just stay fresh for them, and that’s a little unfair on the wife and the kids. I’m happy to be here.

How have you found the North Loop?

We did some research and this area was up-and-coming and it was a good opportunity. It was a leap of faith to move and do this at the same time.

One of the reasons why I came here and why the opportunity was so good for me was to get back into a community kind of scene.

New York is so fast paced. People eat in New York City and here they seem to dine. You can give them the full experience. For most people this is the event for the evening. People come here and make this their special place.

Tullibee opened with a focus on Nordic cuisine. Is that changing?

We’ve moved away from that. We’re definitely “lakes and woods.” We’re trying to stay much more to true Minnesota, using local ingredients as much as we can. [In July] we did a butcher’s dinner with [Minnesota-based] TC Farms and we used a guinea hog with them and did a nose-to-tail dinner.

We use Wild Acres and [Peterson Craftsman Meats] for our beef. We’re using Gentleman Forager and DragSmith Farms for our greens

Day. Submitted photo and produce. A couple of our fishes are coming from Lake Superior. We do some of our own charcuterie, but we can’t keep up with demand so we supplement with Red Table Meat Co. I’m trying to keep everything within our area as much as we can. If we help them, they’ll help us. It’s a thriving new market. You have to help each other to keep it sustainable.

I’m not a normal New Yorker coming in being all gung-ho. I have a different attitude because I’m Australian. I’m much more laid back. I want my food to be good. I think the food will speak for itself and the reviews will speak for themselves as they come along.

Have you been to the Twin Cities before?

I have. My wife’s family has a lake house in Cass Lake. I’ve been up there fishing and hanging out on the lake. I enjoy it a lot. It’s

We’re going to start a new menu change [later this summer]. We’re going to jazz it up a bit, make it a little fresher. That’s the advantage of working in this environment and changing ingredients around as the seasons change. We’re definitely trying to get some ingredients from Australia, like wattle seeds, some lemon myrtle and some bush tomatoes, which are like a dried berry. We’re going to try to do some more to those farmer dinners on Sunday nights.

Tullibee also has a robust bar program. What’s the cocktail scene like in Perth?

We have a lot of rums and a lot of white ports, which people don’t really have here.

There is a lot of fortified wine. We have some sherry. In the Swan Valley, which is 45 minutes outside of Perth, you go out in the countryside and there’s a much warmer climate. There’s more sugar residual on the grapes so you get a lot more fortified wines out there. I think that’s something that comes back around. It’s not so much on anyone’s radar now. I think that’s something that could make into a cocktail at some point.

There are lots of local brews back home, just like here. It’s very microbrew-oriented.

Dateline Minneapolis / By Steve Brandt

A ROOKIE DELEGATE’S VIEW FROM THE CONVENTION FLOOR

A

lthough I was a rookie at being a delegate to the Minneapolis DFL convention, held earlier this month, I was fully prepared for a long day. I packed a lunch. And I packed a dinner.

But what I wasn’t prepared for was to leave the Minneapolis Convention Center 14 hours after my arrival having cast only one ballot on whom the party should endorse in this fall’s mayoral election.

I’m not arguing that the city party was capable of reaching a consensus anywhere near the 60 percent support that is its threshold for endorsing a mayoral candidate; it was widely expected that the presence of four credible candidates would make that difficult despite a drop rule intended to narrow the field to two after a few ballots.

Given that rule, taking just one ballot seems like merely going through the motions.

I left the convention with two strong opinions. One is that in a digital age the party needs to embrace technology to automate the casting and counting of ballots, just as municipal election officials have done. That alone makes more ballots more feasible.

The second is that the progressive-dominated convention’s endorsements for Park Board may well result in a vastly different approach to Minneapolis parks if those candidates are elected this fall. One nominator lauded a candidate as “someone who will turn our Park Board into the most radical park board in the country.” Among the promised changes were pesticide-free parks (a goal that eluded long-time Green Party incumbent Commissioner Annie Young) and requiring park police to buy their own liability insurance.

The potential change might be enough to prompt Superintendent Jayne Miller to seek a job elsewhere; her current employment contract expires 10 months after the new board will be seated next year, unless the lame-duck board extends it.

Although Miller’s potential departure would gladden her critics, who have made her their lightning rod on the Park Board, it could also create instability at the top of a well-regarded park system. Whatever her faults, Miller has brought some needed organizational discipline to what has historically been an old-boys network. But her critics also make a persuasive case that low-income areas of the city deserve better equity in the number and variety of programs offered to children and their families.

However, the Minneapolis DFL party needs to look more seriously about how it handles endorsements. Perhaps a two-day convention — one for Park Board and one focused only on the mayoral race — is in order. Or eliminate the lengthy process of candidate speeches that largely rehash what’s on a candidate’s web site or what that candidate’s campaign has said in contacting delegates between precinct caucuses and the convention.

It’s inexcusable that voting for the mayoral endorsement didn’t start until 6:45 p.m., almost nine hours after the scheduled start of the confab. Then it took hours to get results.

That delay is partly a function of size — the party’s maximum delegate strength of 1,402 people makes it the nation’s third-largest political convention after the quadrennial Democratic national convention and the California convention. That’s roughly one delegate for every 285 city residents. That brings the party closer to grassroots; a Sen. Bernie Sanders-rooted

movement like Our Revolution MN can still tilt the process.

But the delay in results also reflects the antiquated hand-counting of ballots with seven mayoral candidates this year.

It turns out that the party did look into automating the casting and counting of ballots, according to Scott Graham, co-chair of the city party’s credentials committee.

It found that technology is viable but expensive. The optimal vendor, one that would have run the tabulations hands-free of party officials, would have cost at least $15,000.

Graham said the state party was willing to cover that. But others in the party raised concerns about ease of use for technophobes, the security of a voting system and whether the largest convention in the state was the appropriate forum for testing it. Graham predicted that the technology would be tested at a future meeting of the state party’s central committee.

Adoption of the technology for a future city convention would eliminate the lengthy counting process as an impediment to the convention’s prime task: bestowing an endorsement.

Of course, a convention split between two strong candidates, as in the R. T. Rybak-Peter McLaughlin mayoral standoff in 2005, or divided among this year’s field of four, can still thwart an endorsement. That’s particularly true when most of the campaigns don’t want to endorse or at least stick around for a second ballot.

The campaign of my preferred candidate, state Rep. Raymond Dehn, was the only one of the four not arguing against a second vote.

Dehn led the field with almost one-third of the vote, fulfilling his goal of coming out of the convention as one of the top two.

Council Member Jacob Frey was fewer than 5 percentage points back, trailed by incumbent Betsy Hodges, who polled just under a quarter of delegates, and former Hennepin Avenue theater impresario Tom Hoch, who faced likely drop-rule elimination on a second ballot.

But with Hoch’s 10 percent of the convention up for grabs, as well as another 5 percent scattered among also-rans, didn’t delegates deserve a second or third ballot as a reward for sitting all day? And didn’t they deserve a chance to see if Dehn could build on his surprising first-ballot lead or if another candidate could rally?

Apparently not, in the minds of the majority of delegates who voted for adjournment, urged to do so by campaigns bent on trying their luck with ranked-choice voting next fall.

So now it’s on to the fall election without an endorsement. Hodges, who gave a rousing speech, likely has more appeal to the general electorate. She excelled in leading the firstchoice round of the 2013 ranked-choice election, and eventually accumulated enough second-choice votes to win.

She faces a determined ground game that Dehn’s campaign employed for caucuses and the convention but now needs to recalibrate to try to translate from a convention plurality to winning over a much more ideologically diverse fall electorate. Frey and Hoch also are in the hunt.

And don’t forget Captain Jack Sparrow.

Park Board to consider closing Hiawatha Golf Course Reducing pumping would close South Minneapolis golf course

The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board will consider a move in August that would close the Hiawatha Golf Course in South Minneapolis.

Dozens of golfers and supporters of the Hiawatha Golf Club appealed to the board’s Planning Committee July 19 to postpone a decision to reduce groundwater pumping that keeps the course open for play. Commissioners on the committee unanimously opted to reduce pumping at the 18-hole course, which has been under threat since heavy rains in 2014 flooded and damaged the site.

The full board is expected to vote on the measure in August.

The measure passed by the Planning Committee would reduce pumping down to approximately 94 million gallons a year.

That amount of pumping would not maintain the course, but it would protect neighboring property from flooding and allow the Park Board to come up with other uses.

The course, a component of the NokomisHiawatha Regional Park, would remain open until at least the end of the 2019 golf season.

The move to transform the course into a park would cost $28 million, the board estimates. Additionally, this option would require $18 million in dollars to maintain and operate over 20 years.

The Park Board has not identified any future uses of the Hiawatha Golf Course site, but the resolution before the board acknowledges a public process to formulate ideas. One group has lobbied the board to build a food forest on the site. Another speaker, a veteran, said he would like to see a garden to support veterans.

“No matter which way you go, this is going to be a once-in-a-generation project,” David Kaplan, a Standish resident, told commissioners.

Linden Hills resident Constance Pepin told commissioners that she would like to see the area revert to a wetland.

“Here before you is a clear and compelling opportunity for you to choose to work with nature rather than work against her,” Pepin said.

Park staff project that a new use for the site could more than double the total number of visits each year, from the estimated

“As an at-large commissioner citywide that’s important for me. It’s important for me that as many people in the city get to use the parkland as possible,” said Commissioner John Erwin, who chairs the committee.

Commissioners considered an alternative scenario that would continue the pumping of approximately 242 million gallons of water to keep the course open. At one point, Park Board-owned facilities were pumping out approximately 260 million gallons of water annually, much more than was permitted.

The Department of Natural Resources regulates groundwater pumping and prefers the reduction of pumping as a more viable long-term water management option. Park

staff noted that, inevitably, a future flood would damage the site, which is mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a floodplain.

“In terms of a sustainable choice, we’re faced with a really difficult decision on something that we love that is being consumed by floodwater,” said District 3 Commissioner Scott Vreeland. “We need to say clearly that this is a decision that has a sunset.”

The Park Board estimates it would cost $14 million to keep Hiawatha Golf Course open and further renovate it, but maintaining it would require $26 million to maintain over two decades. During that time, the course would bring in roughly $13 million in revenue.

Park staff alternatively considered keeping a nine-hole course open, but found that

golfers didn’t support it and the finances didn’t work out. Only one of 25 nine-hole courses in the state are profitable, staff noted.

Expenses for the smaller courses are more than half of a full course and they bring in less than half of the revenue.

The Hiawatha Golf Course saw on average between 20,000 and 40,000 rounds of golf annually in recent years, dipping to just 14,000 rounds when it was flooded in 2014. The course supports The First Tee of the Twin Cities, a youth golf program that serves roughly 300 kids. Golf teams at three local high schools plan on the course. In the winter, the board uses the course for walkers and cross-country skiing.

TRUCKERS ON STRIKE

D

uring the early 1930s, Minneapolis was a non-union city. But by 1934, frustrated by wages and working conditions, the Teamsters Local 574 was actively organizing the city’s truckers and preparing for a strike. When employers refused to recognize the union or their demands, the truckers went on strike. In late July, police opened fire on the strikers, injuring more than 60 and killing two. The events of that “Bloody Friday” are generally considered the turning point in the strike.

The public watched, aghast, as the police gunned down unarmed strikers. In the aftermath, Gov. Floyd B. Olson enacted martial law while federal mediators pushed for a quick resolution. The strike formally ended in August 1934 after the union and employers agreed to a settlement that addressed many of the union’s demands.

GO WILD WITH KOMBUCHA

K

ombucha is one of the fastest growing popular health drinks on the market these days, but why all the hype?

Kombucha is a fermented black or green tea infused with sugar and natural flavors.

Because it is fermented, kombucha provides many probiotics, which are the good bacteria that benefit your gut.

While some critics are concerned about the alcohol that is present in kombucha due to the natural fermenting process, one should not worry as most store brews contain less than 0.5 percent alcohol by volume.

Another bad representation kombucha gets is its high sugar content. Although some sugar is added while making kombucha, bacteria metabolize most of the sugar during fermentation, and only one or two grams of sugar per serving typically remains.

So why are all these probiotics and other nutrients in kombucha good for us?

Probiotics are the good kind of bacteria that are needed for healthy digestion in your stomach. Probiotics are helpful in boosting the immune system, preventing urinary tract infections and fighting food-borne illnesses.

Other beneficial nutrients in kombucha include B-vitamins, polyphenols and antioxidants. Due to the fermentation process, these compounds found in the drink are more bioavailable. This means that the nutri-

ents are more rapidly and easily available for absorption and utilization in the body.

Basically put, kombucha is a product that can deliver certain nutrients more effectively than other foods or certain vitamins.

Kombucha lovers also boast about other health benefits — that the drink can potentially help reduce blood pressure, reduce atherosclerosis, enhance metabolism and improve skin and hair health — but there is little scientific evidence supporting these claims.

Fresh small-batch kombucha is available locally at the Mill City Farmers Market from one of its newest vendors: GYST Fermentation Bar. GYST is a popular Eat Street restaurant founded in 2015, offering house-made, sustainably sourced fermented food. Offering everything from kombucha to traditional lacto-fermented pickles, GYST is available part-time at the market’s expansion on Chicago Avenue and at the Market’s new Tuesday night market at the Commons.

Chef Heather Hartman from the Mill City Farmers Market’s Saturday cooking demo, Mill City Cooks, incorporated kombucha into a chilled summer soup. In need of honeydew, cantaloupe or mint for the recipe? Come to the Mill City Farmers Market on Saturday mornings or Tuesday

“Interference” is an immersive, multimedia experience created by Minneapolis native artist Liza Sylvestre, inspired by her personal struggle with hearing loss.

In a drawing titled “Interference,” bits and pieces of a written conversation are blacked out, making it difficult to follow the narrative. One video depicts the artist reciting a story she wrote, first in her “normal” voice, followed by a version in which she recites only the parts of each word she is able to hear to give the viewer a sense of her day-to-day experience with a limited hearing ability.

“Rim’s Edge,” by Brooklyn-based artist Christine Rebhuhn, features sculptural objects that explore the wordplay of popular phrases in physical form, to absurd effect. Also on view beginning July 29 is “Ekphrastic 2.0,” an experiment in collaborative storytelling with drawings by more than 37 artists created over the course of five weeks in an exquisite corpse style narrative.

Immigrant Journey Project The oversized puppets of Masanari Kawahara have been part of the May Day festival for a dozen years. Now, the Twin Cities puppet master and theater artist is using puppetry to explore the theme of immigration within the Asian communities of Minnesota. Presented by pan-Asian performance collective Mu Performing Arts in collaboration with several local Asian-American organizations, the project will train community members to perform alongside Mu actors for a series of performances that investigate the 21st century immigrant experience through puppetry, movement and masks.

When: On view July 29–Aug. 26; Opening receptions: Saturday, July 29 from 5 p.m.–9 p.m. with artist talks from 5 p.m.–6 p.m.

Minnesota Fringe Festival Every year, the Minnesota Fringe Festival brings hundreds of shows from seasoned theater companies to amateur troupes to Twin Cities stages. Instead of being selected by a panel of judges, plays in this non-juried festival are selected at random, ensuring that an eclectic, diverse mix of theater is represented. Likely highlights at this year’s festival include “Wellstone: A Minnesotan Musical,” an original musical following the life of famed U.S. Sen. Paul Wellstone, a liberal stalwart from Minnesota who died in a plane crash; “Mine/Field,” a performance that blends modern dance, spoken word and politics exploring the secrecy, identity and trust in the internet age; and “Subpar Heroes,” about a group of friends who gain trivial, insignificant powers and attempt to save their hometown.

When: Aug. 3–13 Where: Various locations Cost: $19.75 per day, $200 for an all-access pass Info: fringefestival.org for lineup and locations

Three of the biggest Minneapolis art festivals of the year take place over the next two weekends.

Loring Park Art Festival, Powderhorn Art Fair and Uptown Art Fair all feature original art and handmade goods for sale from hundreds of local artists and makers. Here’s how the fairs compare:

Loring Park Art Festival: After many years sharing dates with the Powderhorn and Uptown art fairs, Loring Park Art Festival moved to a new weekend last year, resulting in record attendance of more than 30,000. The grassroots festival features a juried lineup of 140 local painters, sculptors, photographers, jewelry makers and more at a variety of price points, appealing to the entry-level art buyer and collectors alike. Plus, enjoy live entertainment from the Stone Arch Jazz Band, Diversity Street Dancers and Open Eye Figure Theatre.

When: Saturday, July 29 from 10 a.m.–6 p.m. & Sunday, 30 from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. Where: Loring Park, 1382 Willow St. Cost: Free Info: loringparkartfestival.com

Uptown Art Fair: Billed as the largest art fair in the state, this annual fest attracts more than 350,000 people to the intersection of Hennepin & Lake.

It features work by more than 360 professional artists from Minnesota and around the world working in a dozen mediums, as well as live performances, hands-on kids’ activities and food vendors.

MUSIC

A year out of college, Nick Jordan is belting out original songs and tearing up stages across the Twin Cities with energetic performances.

Singer Nick Jordan will perform songs from his new EP “Dividends” at First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry on Aug. 4. Photo by Jillian Blanc

The 23-year-old St. Paul resident is quiet and polite in person, but on stage he is theatrical and dramatic, singing songs about self-love and busting out flashy choreography. On “Dividends,” his second EP set to come out this August, Jordan shows off both sides of himself with songs that come from a place of “learning to love the deepest parts” of himself, he said. It’s an achievement easier said than done.

DRINKS

Fly in the face of Dangerous Man

Being a Northeaster, I have the privilege of living within walking distance of several breweries, but when I’m talking with visitors looking to do a summer beer crawl they often don’t know where to start. In recommending taprooms to try, I thought I’d pass along my own neighborhood brewery, Dangerous Man Brewing Co. What I like about Dangerous Man is its wide selection of uniquely flavored brews, from the creamy peanut butter porter and chocolate milk stout to the strawberry and boysenberry milkshake IPAs. It’s apparent that others have caught on to the wonders of the taproom because it can take a bit of a wait to snag an open table, but you can usually take advantage of a food truck outside or visit the growler shop next door while you’re waiting. Once seated, be sure to bring back a glass of the Sour

“It’s claiming that unapologetically. In all facets,” he said.

Dangerous Man's peanut butter porter, Tarty Party and kölsch beers. Photo by Eric Best Delores, a sour beer with strawberry tea from TeaSource, or the Imperial Golden Rose Ale, a Belgian strong ale boasting aromatic, herbal tea-like flavors. If you find yourself needing pizza, Young Joni is just down the block. If it’s busy, just order and take the pizza to go with you while you make your way to another taproom.

Paying ‘Dividends’

Jordan, who goes by his middle name, started pursuing music after moving from his hometown of Delano, Minnesota and studying the music business and recording arts at the University of St. Thomas. That’s where he met friend and music producer lukdlx, who helped Jordan produce his two releases so far.

Since graduating last year, Jordan has been hard at work making connections, performing — including at Basilica Block Party and the Star Tribune’s Are You Local?

Contest — and writing new material.

“I’m getting a nice foundation, finally,” he said.

A GARDEN PARTY

The Walker Art Center has put together a perfect day to visit the museum and Minneapolis Sculpture Garden that won’t break the budget — because it’s free. During the first Saturday of each month from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., admission is free to the gallery, but there are even more reasons to visit on Saturday, Aug. 5. If you still haven’t gotten over Rock the Garden, the Okee Dokee Brothers — Minneapolis’ own Grammy Awardwinning bluegrass duo — will play the garden around 11 a.m. The museum also has an ant problem in the form of Polygot Theatre, an Australian interactive art organization, that will have ants — note: people dressed as giant ants — roaming the garden as part of a family-friendly landscaping project that is sure to resemble a horror movie from the ’70s. While not free, Esker Grove will be open in the museum for brunch, so you can fuel up with the restaurant’s savory French toast or even a bloody mary before working up a sweat and perusing all that art.

With the six-track “Dividends,” Jordan cites inspirations like The Neptunes, a production duo comprised of Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo, emcees like Jay Electronica and singers like D’Angelo and Jill Scott. The mix of songs moves between R&B and hip-hop to pop and even house music.

Perhaps the biggest source of creative energy comes from Sean Combs, whom

Jordan namedrops in “Bet (Diddy Said).”

In fact, Jordan, a huge “Making the Band” fan, samples many of the rapper’s sayings from the show in the song, such as “don’t dance in the back.” He uses the phrase for its metaphorical meaning of confidence, but it’s also relevant literally for Jordan, who almost always performs with his best friends and dancers Albert DiCaprio and Christlo Charon.

“Puff says so many profound things that me and my dancers carried with us for years,” he said.

The song, the second off the EP, exudes confidence. When they go low, we go high, Jordan seems to say (“I could’ve stayed bitter, but I chose to get better”).

Next is “Crush,” a sugary-sweet confession of love over texting that could serve as an anthem of love for anyone with a restrictive data plan (“text me when you leave so you can FaceTime me / burning up your data on LTE”).

The first single off the release is “Petty,” a catchy track that Jordan has turned into a music video featuring a party in a forest that is most definitely more fun than whatever the song’s ex-lover is doing.

The final track, “L2L” or learn to love, is a minimalist, disco-influenced outro that has Jordan’s voice at its most vulnerable.

“They’re not perfect vocal takes, but they’re human, and that’s what I was trying to portray,” he said.

Jordan will debut the EP at a release show at First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry on Friday, Aug. 4. Northeast Minneapolis-based Devata Daun, a lo-fi electronic artist, will open.

“She’s the definition of a badass to me,” he said. “It’s so dope to me.”

Radio Ahlee (“He sounds like someone I would actually listen to as a kid,” Jordan said), Moise and DJ Rowsheen will also perform.
