THE NEWS SOURCE FOR DOWNTOWN & NORTHEAST MINNEAPOLIS RESIDENTS JULY 28–AUGUST 10, 2016

a r e m a c y d o b e c i l o P y a w r e d n u m a r g pro By Sarah McKenzie / smckenzie@journalmpls.com The Minneapolis Police Department has launched its long-awaited police body camera program, starting with 1st Precinct officers who work downtown. Officers working in the 4th Precinct (North Minneapolis) will be wearing the cameras by the end of July. The entire department will be outfitted with the equipment by fall. Police leaders and Mayor Betsy Hodges discussed the body camera rollout and demonstrated how officers use the cameras at the MPD’s 1st Precinct station in the Warehouse District on July 19. Police Chief Janeé Harteau said the body cameras have already been a useful crime-fighting tool, capturing footage of gun seizures, among other things. Officers started wearing them July 11. They were helpful for officers who arrested a robbery suspect downtown after they interviewed the victim who had a hat and shoes stolen, she said. The officers later found the suspect wearing the victim’s hat and holding the shoes. “What was great about that is not only could you see the individual captured on video, but prosecution and charging happened rather quickly because investigators didn’t have to go out and again talk to victims and talk to witnesses,” she said. “The evidence was right there captured on that body camera.

A PRIMARY PRIMER Veteran legislator Phyllis Kahn faces competitive primary race for House 60B seat

By Sarah McKenzie / smckenzie@journalmpls.com The Aug. 9 primary election will determine which candidates will advance to the general election on Nov. 8. In Minneapolis, the primary features both partisan and nonpartisan races. The partisan offices on the ballot include U.S. Representative (District 5); Minnesota State Senator (Districts 59 and 62); and Minnesota State Representative (District 59A and 60B). The nonpartisan race is Minnesota Supreme Court Associate Justice (Seat 6). One of the most noteworthy primary races is the battle for House 60B. The

District includes Nicollet Island, neighborhoods along the riverfront, the U of M area and Cedar-Riverside. Veteran lawmaker Phyllis Kahn, who was first elected to the Legislature in 1972, faces competition from fellow DFLers Ilhan Omar and Mohamud Noor. Omar nearly secured the DFL endorsement in April for the seat, but was just shy of the 60 percent of delegate votes. She currently works as director of the Women Organizing Women Network, which advocates for East African women to take on civic leadership roles and

become more active in their communities. She previously worked as an aide to City Council Member Andrew Johnson (Ward 12). “I am motivated by the belief that our district can be a place of prosperity and equity, where everyone has opportunities, whether you are a long term resident, a new American, or a student,” she said. “I am dedicated to advancing an agenda focused on economic, social, racial and environmental justice so that we can move forward together. When elected, I will be a powerful SEE PRIMARY / PAGE 8

The Commons makes its oﬃcial debut By Sarah McKenzie / smckenzie@journalmpls.com A sweltering celebration featuring a ceremonial Frisbee toss, dancing and enthusiastic remarks from community leaders praising new green space for the city signaled the grand opening of The Commons park on July 21. The Common’s eastern block opened to the public in time for the grand opening festivities of U.S. Bank Stadium. The western block bordered by the new Edition apartments remains under construction and will open later in August. “This is a transformative public place for downtown Minneapolis and for the east side of downtown,” said Mayor Betsy Hodges at the grand opening celebration. “Ten years ago, or even five years ago, I don’t think anybody would have thought it would have looked like this around here — and here we are. This is remarkable.” The 4.2-acre block is surrounded by the new Wells Fargo towers, the stadium, new housing and the Armory. “This is a park for everybody,” Hodges said, adding the park has helped the city land the Super Bowl in 2018, the NCAA Final Four in 2019 and, most recently, the X Games in 2017 and 2018. The mayor thanked the business community, including Ryan Companies, the City Council and former Mayor R.T. Rybak for his “vision” for the park. Pat Ryan, CEO of Ryan Companies, which developed the Wells Fargo towers and new housing next to the Commons, outlined high expectations for the Commons, hoping it becomes one of the “most memorable in the country.” He credited the Vikings with sparking renewed interest in the area by choosing to build the new stadium downtown. “The economic development initiative that was put into place to attract the Vikings stadium continues to generate economic opportunities far beyond this six-block area,” he said. Minnesota Vikings president and co-owner Mark Wilf called the Commons a centerpiece of the new East Town. “We hope families, young people, old people, all walks of life come here to enjoy

this park for generations to come,” he said. Mary Margaret Jones, president of Hargreaves Associates, the park’s lead designer, said she’s excited to see the entire park open to the public in coming weeks. “This is just the beginning because in just a few weeks the other block will open as well and you’ll be able to experience the amazing difference between the two halves

of the park. This open space for play and then in the other block a more intimate system of valleys and hills and trees and shade,” she said. Other amenities, including bathrooms and another shade structure, are planned for the future. City Council Member Jacob Frey (Ward 3) said he’s had a phenomenal few weeks,

noting he’s gotten married and had a honeymoon while the city secured the X Games, the Wells Fargo complex opened and now the community gets to celebrate the Commons. “Every world-class city has a world-class downtown, and every world-class downtown is not complete without a downtown central park. I’m so proud that as of right now we’re going to have our own,” he said. To date, Green Minneapolis, a non-profit public-private conservancy, has raised more than $14 million for the park toward its goal of $22 million. The Park Board technically owns the park and the city leases it. The city issued $18.8 million in bonds for the Commons. Ryan Companies will pay off debt service on the bonds for the first 10 years and then parking revenue from nearby ramps will cover the remainder of payments. The Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District will oversee park operations through the end of 2016 until a longer-term agreement is finalized with Green Minneapolis.

HeadFlyer Brewing

HeadFlyer Brewing is planning a nearly 9,500-square-foot taproom and brewery in the newly overhauled Miller Textile Building in Northeast Minneapolis. Ackerberg Group, which is renovating the aging warehouse complex on East Hennepin Avenue, recently announced the new tenant. The Minneapolis-based company has been updating the four-story Miller Textile Building for new tenants since last December. HeadFlyer’s social media pages list this fall or winter for a potential opening. “We are very excited to bring classic, high-quality craft beers to the Beltrami neighborhood of Northeast Minneapolis,” said Neil Miller, co-founder and head brewer, in a statement.

The addition of the newly founded brewery brings the project at 861 E. Hennepin Ave. to 61-percent leased, according to a release. The building features approximately 10,000 square feet of retail space and 38,000 of office space. “Our goal in repositioning this property was to turn it into a signature destination in Northeast Minneapolis. The addition of HeadFlyer will definitely help us achieve that goal,” said CEO Stuart Ackerberg. Ackerberg recently announced that St. Louis Park-based Stahl Construction plans to relocate its headquarters to the project. Stahl will occupy the entire second floor, more than 15,000 square feet of office space.

Each of ZeSa’s three classes — a signature ZeSa Power class for all fitness levels, a more challenging version and a yoga class — are taught on the activators, with the more difficult sessions utilizing suspension training via unique rings hung from the ceiling. Participants may also use weights and other instability tools Rainey has designed, in addition to adding extra difficulty by wearing weights. ZeSa is planning to add another advanced class, dubbed ZeSa Sculpt, more focused on cardio. Because of the studio’s regimen of adaptable, low-impact exercises, classes are suitable for nearly any age group or ability, said Cindy Vavra, a trainer and ZeSa investor. ZeSa offers class packages and an unlimited monthly option. The first class, a 30-minute intro to the program, is free. The studio has a 6 a.m., noon and 6 p.m. class schedule. ZeSa Fitness, located at 1024 Washington Ave. S., is now open.

ZeSa Fitness, named for a Sanskrit word for balance, has people doing just that. The new fitness studio, located in the Mill District’s Bridgewater Lofts on Washington Avenue, teaches a regimen of balance-based exercises using founder Shanti Rainey’s own inventions. Rainey has designed devices, dubbed activators, that work participants’ muscles much like a stability ball at a traditional gym. The tools, which are patented, act as small platforms balancing on a sphere, with more difficult versions growing taller and rounder, making it more unstable and harder to balance. ZeSa also sells the devices and has plans to expand to larger retail markets, Rainey said. They’re currently available for pre-order on the studio’s website. Rainey, a certified personal trainer and yoga instructor, developed the tools and the studio’s program after training both as a University of St. Thomas athlete and coach.

Funky Grits

Soul food restaurant Funky Grits, which at first planned a flagship location in Northeast Minneapolis’ Thorp Building, is now looking for another space. Co-founders Jared Brewington and Benedict Frank are now looking at a new space in Uptown, Brewington told The Journal. The duo — Brewington is on the business side, Frank on the kitchen side — had been eyeing a roughly 1,800-square-foot space in the eclectic commercial and warehouse building last summer, but that agreement fell through. While that is being planned, Funky Grits will preview their menu by serving dinners inside Hazel’s Northeast, 2859 Johnson St. NE,

on Sunday, July 31 at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. as part of a pop-up event. Frank will be serving two five-course meals, one with meat and one with vegan dishes. In keeping with the concept’s connection to soul and funk music, DJ Sadie Soul will be spinning tracks during the dining sessions. They say the Funky Grits concept “marries soul-inspired comfort food of the American South (and surrounding influences) with forward thinking, chef driven, contemporary cuisine.” Tickets are now available on Funky Grits’ website, facebook.com/funkygrits.

Less than a year after opening, Rojo Mexican Grill in the North Loop has closed. The Mexican restaurant was one of several Rojo Mexican Grill locations from local restaurateur Michael McDermott. There are also restaurants in St. Louis Park’s West End, Edina’s Southdale mall and Roseville’s Rosedale mall. “Rojo Mexican Grill located at 730 N. Washington Ave. has closed for business. We appre-

ciate your past business and hope that you can dine with us at our St. Louis Park, Edina or Roseville locations,” the restaurant’s answering machine message said. The restaurant replaced McDermott’s ’70s-themed sushi concept, Shag Sushi, last fall. Shag Sushi opened in February 2015 and served a modern take on sushi. McDermott also operates Ling & Louie’s Asian Bar on Nicollet Mall.

Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar NOW CLOSED

Ichiban Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar is closing after nearly four decades. The Japanese restaurant, located on the southern end of Nicollet Mall, confirmed news of the closing on Facebook. “[I]t’s been an incredible 36 years of business, and for that we’re very, very grateful to the Twin Cities community,” the announcement said. Ichiban’s last day will be July 30. It did not specify why the restaurant is closing. Ichiban is the mall’s third longstanding restaurant to close since work began on the

$50 million overhaul of a 12-block stretch of Nicollet, though it’s unclear if construction was a factor. D’Amico Partners closed Masa, an upscale Mexican restaurant last fall after nearly a decade, and Vincent Francoual, chef and owner of the former Vincent A Restaurant, closed his French eatery at the end of 2015 after 14 years. The latter was replaced with Coffee & Bagels, a co-branded concept from Caribou Coffee and Einstein Bros. Bagels.

Community Keg House

Community Keg House, the recently opened pour-your-own-pint taproom in Northeast Minneapolis, closed July 12. The beer community-focused taproom, which featured a rotating selection of craft beers from around the state, opened in January in the Grain Belt complex’s Keg House Arts Building off Broadway Street. Co-owner and general manager Nate Field designed Community Keg House as a showcase of the Minnesota craft beer scene. The owners said in a message to patrons that they’re looking to transfer ownership to another party to take the business on. “We have loved building community and all the people who have worked and occupied this space. It saddens us to close the Keg House greatly. We live and work in Northeast. We love Northeast. It meant a great deal to see so many support our efforts,” the business wrote in the message.

“We have a turnkey operation here and we feel confident another party could make this space awesome.” The nearly 4,000-square-foot taproom at 34 13th Ave. NE in the Sheridan neighborhood also operated a full kitchen, offering panini sandwiches, nachos, salads and soups to pair with beer. Instead of a traditional bar, Community Keg House had four rotating themes each with four taps, along with some brews in permanent residency. Rather than bar tenders, patrons could work with “tap tenders” to learn about certain beers and pour their own glass. Field said in an email that many potential buyers have contacted them, adding that Community Keg House may become a more traditional bar and restaurant concept under new ownership, but nothing has been finalized yet.

ESPN’s X Games are coming to U.S.Bank Stadium By Eric Best / ebest@journalmpls.com Right before it opened to football fans, U.S. Bank Stadium attracted attention for another highprofile sporting event. The stadium will host ESPN’s X Games in July of both 2017 and 2018, yet another major sporting event on a roster that includes 2018’s Super Bowl and the NCAA’s Final Four in 2019. The annual event combines extreme sports like skateboarding, BMX, mountain biking and motor sports. ESPN and officials with Sports Minneapolis — the sport arm of the city’s convention and visitor association, Meet Minneapolis — announced the decision at a July 20 ceremony. “We intend to put on such a great event that we hope they consider making U.S. Bank Stadium their permanent home,” said Michele Kelm-Helgen, chair of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, in a statement.

The events will take place July 13–16, 2017 and July 19–22, 2018. It’s anticipated a majority of the competition will be inside the stadium, on the outdoor Medtronic Plaza and in the adjacent Commons park. A schedule of X Games events will be announced in the “near future,” ESPN said. Council Member Jacob Frey, chair of Sports Minneapolis and the area’s representative on the City Council, said in a statement that the event will bring “unparalleled media attention to highlight our city.” “We are going to be able to highlight that which sets us apart,” he told reporters. Tim Reed, vice president of ESPN X Games, credited the Minneapolis team that put together the bid package for its “resources, support, fit and passion” in its win of a “very competitive” bid process.

“We believe that teaming up with the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota Sports Facility Authority, SMG and Meet Minneapolis and the truly impressive new, state-of-the-art U.S. Bank Stadium will provide an extraordinary opportunity to grow the X Games in a new region of the country and in a city that’s quickly becoming recognized as a premier sports and entertainment destination,” he said. Local leaders took to social media to welcome the competition. “Minnesota is thrilled to welcome the excitement of the #XGames to U.S. Bank Stadium next year,” Gov. Mark Dayton wrote on Twitter. “The X Games are coming! For two years! This is, of course, huge news for our city and our region,” Mayor Betsy Hodges said on Facebook. The X Games have been held in Austin, Texas the past three summers.

City Council approves new public works director The City Council unanimously approved the appointment of Robin Hutcheson, a transportation director in Salt Lake City, as the city’s new director of public works on July 22. During her tenure in Salt Lake City, Hutcheson focused on increasing public transit ridership and making the city more friendly for pedestrians and bicyclists. The city also built its first streetcar line. Hutcheson succeeds Steve Kotke in the position. Kotke retired earlier this year after 27 years with the city. Hutcheson is also the first nonengineer to lead the public works department, which has more than 1,000 employees. Mayor Betsy Hodges nominated Hutcheson

for the position and said she’s the best person to lead an already strong department. She said broadening the search to non-engineers drew a stronger and more diverse candidate pool. Hodges said Hutcheson has a “reputation as a practical innovator who gets things done.” “She understands the need to build relationships and balance competing interests,” she said. City Council President Barb Johnson (Ward 4), who had earlier expressed reservations about Hutcheson’s nomination, also expressed support for her. Johnson said she had a chance to meet with Hutcheson and got positive reviews from other people who have worked with her.

Johnson noted the large size and scope of the public works department. In addition to the city’s street infrastructure, the department oversees the Water Works division, a municipal parking system and Solid Waste and Recycling, among other things. Hutcheson also joins the city at a time when city leaders are pressing ahead on goals requiring significant transformational change, including a new “complete streets” policy, a commitment to equity and a climate action plan that sets a target of reducing citywide greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent or more by 2050.

The Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) will collaborate with Audubon Minnesota, the University of Minnesota and Oklahoma State University on a study monitoring bird-window collisions at the new U.S. Bank Stadium. The study will start in the spring of 2017 and an analysis will be released in 2019. MSFA Chair Michelle Kelm-Helgen said the goal is to determine if the stadium poses a threat to migrating birds.

“If we identify that there is a problem, we will work together to find a solution,” she said. The MSFA and the Vikings have also pledged to be part of Audubon’s “Lights Out” program, which means unnecessary lights at the stadium will be turned off at night during spring and fall bird migration seasons to help reduce light pollution. Joanna Eckles, bird-friendly communities manager for Audubon Minnesota, said window

collisions are one of the leading causes of bird mortality. “This study will help fill in gaps in our knowledge and continue to improve our ability to generate and promote solutions,” she said. The Audubon Society led a petition drive in 2014 to push the Vikings and MSFA to incorporate bird-safe glass into the stadium design, but it was unsuccessful.

AFT conventioneers march to honor Castile Protesters also highlighted the role of banking in the criminal justice system

By Dylan Thomas / dthomas@journalmpls.com Teachers union members from around the country joined local activists July 19 in a march through downtown Minneapolis to protest the death of Philando Castile, a St. Paul Public Schools employee shot and killed by a police officer during traffic stop less than two weeks earlier. Chanting “Black lives matter” and “Philando matters” as they blocked rushhour traffic, protesters spoke out against police violence and also highlighted the role of banks in a criminal justice system they said treats people of color unfairly. “We have banks that profit every time a black or brown man is arrested,” Denise Rodriguez, president of the St. Paul Federation of Teachers, said. “We have a government that balances its budgets on the back of court fees and court fines. … Do we wonder, maybe, why so many black and brown men are arrested in this country?” The marchers set off at 4:30 p.m. from the Minneapolis Convention Center, site of the July 18–21 American Federation of Teachers national convention, and looped through downtown. They paused at 8th & Nicollet, where 21 protesters locked arms and sat in the middle of the intersection until they were arrested by Minneapolis Police. Police spokesman Scott Seroka said they were “willingly arrested” after officers on the scene issued “several” dispersal orders. The were cited under a public nuisance

ordinance and released. Protest organizers said the 21 people led onto a police bus idling a half-block from the intersection included teachers, community members and clergy. Among those arrested was new Minneapolis Federation of Teachers President Michelle Wiese. Before she was arrested, Wiese called on teachers to “end systems of oppression that hurt us all.” “As educators, we must address systems of institutional racism starting with our own practices and then extend this work outside the classroom,” she said, speaking through a public address system carried by a protester’s pickup. A joint statement released by the St. Paul and Minneapolis police unions the day after the march denounced the march. Police union leaders said they were “appalled” teachers “choose to protest against their union brothers and sisters.” “Educators should demonstrate more common sense than rushing to judgment along with radical activists hell-bent on destabilizing our communities,” they wrote. One goal of the arrests was to draw attention to the role of banks in “unjust and violent systems that are taking the lives of people of color,” according to a press release issued by Neighborhoods Organizing for Change. The nonprofit organized the march in conjunction with the Minneapolis and St.

Paul teachers unions. Specifically targeted were Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank, which both maintain a large presence in downtown Minneapolis. Organizers said both banks underwrite the bonds cities issue to help pay for police misconduct settlements and provide financing for the for-profit prison industry. They said U.S. Bank profits from operating an online system used in Minnesota to collect payments on traffic tickets and fines. The Associated Press found Castile was frequently pulled over by police in the years leading up to his death, often for minor infractions, prompting some to raise questions about racial profiling by police. Wiese said banks were “profiting on the unfair treatment and the police brutality that our black communities are suffering at the hands of some police.” “This process steals money from our schools and our communities,” she said. “It is time to end this.” Spokespersons for both banks declined to comment. The march drew teachers from around the country in town for the AFT convention. Among them was Pat Washington, who teaches first grade in Miami, Fla. and marched carrying a sign that read: “In my pain, an Activist arises.” Washington said the emotion experienced by students and coworkers after Castile’s

death was the “same pain we were feeling for Trayvon.” Trayvon Martin, a 17-yearold high school student, was unarmed when he was shot to death in 2012 by George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch member in Sanford, Fla., about a four-hour drive north from Miami. Asked how she discusses incidents like the deaths of Martin and Castile with her students, Washington responded that she tells them sometimes people do things that aren’t right, “but we still have to find the good in people.” Castile was a cafeteria worker at J.J. Hill Montessori Magnet School in St. Paul. Following his death, one J.J. Hill parent described Castile to reporters as “Mr. Rodgers with dreadlocks.” That description struck Liz Dahl, a former Minneapolis teacher who now works in Nicaragua. Back home for a visit, Dahl marched through Minneapolis carrying a sign that read: “The fabric of our society is torn apart by racism.” Dahl said it was important for educators to stand together and provide an example for their students. Rodriguez, the St. Paul teachers union president, said Castile was “beloved” at his school. “He cannot be just another name on a list,” she said.

advocate at the Capitol for the diverse voices of our community.” As for top priorities, Omar said she would focus on closing the opportunity gap by “creating a holistic cradle-to-career approach and investing in wrap-around services” and making higher education more affordable by pushing for more funding, expanding programs that provide debt forgiveness for public students and capping student loan interest at a reasonable rate. “We need a leader who has the cultural fluency to authentically represent our district at the Capitol. I am that person. I have the Kahn passion, energy, and the dedication to build bridges within our neighborhoods — and at the Legislature,” she said. Kahn said her Noor more than four decades of experience at the Capitol make her the best person to represent the district. She also has a Ph.D. in biophysics from Yale Omar and master of public administration from the J.F.K School of Government at Harvard. “I bring a unique perspective to the process as one of few scientists in legislatures in the country,” she said. “This has affected my legislative work on issues ranging from the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act, DNA testing, computer technology, etc.” As for her legislative accomplishments, she points to her work as chief author of the Minnesota Clean Indoor Act in 1975, which banned smoking in indoor public places and become a model for other states. She also points to a strong record on the environment, gender equity and support for funding for parks, trail and historic preservation, among other things. Kahn also touted her ability to work with people with a variety of political beliefs as a strong asset. Noor previously ran against Kahn for the House seat, but lost to her in a primary election in 2014.

Noor’s platform focuses on pushing for an expansion of high-quality and affordable childcare and early childhood education, improved healthcare, a “living wage” for workers, environmental and racial justice. Absentee voting is underway for the primary election. Voters can cast their ballot by mail or in person at the city’s new Early Vote Center at 217 S. 3rd St. For more information about submitting an absentee ballot by mail, go to vote.minneapolismn.gov. As for the Nov. 8 general election, offices on the ballot include races for President & Vice President; U.S. Representative District 5; Minnesota State Senator (all districts); Minnesota State Representative (all districts); Minnesota Supreme Court Associate Justice (Seat 6); Minnesota Court of Appeals Judge (several seats); Fourth District Court Judge (several seats); and Minneapolis School Board (Districts 2, 4, 6 and one at-large seat.) There is also a proposed state constitutional amendment that asks voters to vote yes or no on the following question: Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to remove state lawmakers’ power to set their own salaries, and instead establish an independent, citizens-only council to prescribe salaries of lawmakers? Two petition drives are also seeking to amend the city’s charter through ballot questions. The City Council has directed the City Attorney’s office to prepare legal opinions on the proposed charter amendments — one establishing a $15 minimum wage in Minneapolis and another requiring police to carry professional liability insurance — for the Council in advance of a vote on the

EARLY VOTING FOR PRIMARY Early voting for the primary is available at the city’s Early Vote Center, 217 S. 3rd St. through Aug. 8. Hours are 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m. During the ﬁnal two weeks before the primary, there will be extended hours. The Early Voter Center will be open Saturday, July 30 and Saturday, Aug. 6, 9 a.m.–4 p.m. For the ﬁnal day of early voting on Monday, Aug. 8, hours will be 8 a.m.–5 p.m.

ELECTION JUDGES NEEDED The city needs election judges for the primary election to assist voters in polling places. Pay is $13.30 per hour, which includes training.

Both petition drives have secured enough signatures of registered voters in Minneapolis to be considered for ballot measures in the fall. It is up to the Council, however, to determine whether they are appropriate for the ballot. Backers of the $15 minimum wage charter amendment turned in a petition with 17,902 signatures. The City Clerk’s office validated 8,418 of those signatures. They needed 6,869 to move forward through the city’s process. Proponents of a charter amendment requiring police to carry professional liability insurance have also gathered enough valid signatures after amending an earlier petition that fell short of the requirement. Supporters of raising the minimum wage

in Minneapolis via a charter amendment are proposing increasing it to $15 an hour by 2020 for employers with 500 or more employees and by 2022 for employers with fewer than 500 workers. The proposal has strong support from low-wage workers but faces opposition from the business community. The proposed ballot question requiring police officers to carry professional liability insurance comes as police officers are facing increased scrutiny about their use of force. There will also be a Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) referendum on the ballot asking voters to renew the existing levy, which makes up 13 percent of the MPS budget. The referendum would provide $74 million annually to the district.

journalmpls.com / July 28–August 10, 2016 9 FROM BODY CAMERAS / PAGE 1 That is invaluable.” Harteau and Hodges noted that it’s taken some time for the city to get the program up and running. “This is a long time coming,” Hodges said, adding the community has been asking for cameras for many years and she pushed for them during her mayoral campaign in 2013. “They are a tool that can increase trust and transparency between officers and the community. They are a tool that can help hold everybody accountable in their actions with the police.” In a recent letter to residents, Hodges and Harteau outlined the benefits of police body cameras, noting they have resulted in fewer use-of-force complaints for other police departments that have rolled out programs. “Officer-worn body cameras are merely a tool for improving police-community relations; they are not a solution in themselves. But body cameras are an important tool, one that will help us continue to transform the relationship between police and community for the better. They are not the final step in transparency, but they are a big step toward it,” they wrote. Hodges and Harteau also explained their process for adopting a police body camera policy. The Police Conduct Oversight Commission (PCOC) held four community meetings to gather feedback on body cameras, and the city’s Department of Neighborhood and Community Relations also held six meetings to gather thoughts from the public. “We weighed heavily the recommendations of the PCOC and the conclusions of the President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, took input from the City Council, and made sure that the policy is in line with the goals of the National Initiative for Building Trust and Justice, of which Minneapolis is the leading participating city,” they wrote.

This is a long time coming. They [body cameras] are a tool that can increase trust and transparency between oﬃcers and the community. They are a tool that can help hold everybody accountable in their actions with the police. — Mayor Betsy Hodges

Minneapolis police officer Kevin Feucht has been wearing a police body camera since July 11. Photo by Sarah McKenzie The MPD also studied body camera programs in several cities across the country and in Minnesota, including Duluth and Burnsville. The Minneapolis City Council approved a five-year, $4–million contract with Taser International to outfit officers with body cameras in February. The contract allowed the MPD to buy 587 body cameras, docking stations and storage.

The MPD ran a body camera pilot project between November 2014 and May 2015. Thirty-six officers from the 1st, 4th & 5th Precincts officers participated in the program and captured more than 7,000 videos. As for who has access to footage, MPD Deputy Chief Travis Glampe said it’s limited to people shown in videos. The public, however, can request to see footage if an officer causes someone “substantial bodily

harm,” under a new law recently signed by Gov. Mark Dayton. Someone included in a nonpublic video could choose to make the video public after police have concluded investigations. Officers are required to activate their body cameras in several situations, including for traffic stops, prior to use of force, searches, vehicle pursuits, any contact involving criminal activity and when advising a suspect of Miranda rights, among other things. Officers are also encouraged to let people know when they are being recording by a body camera. The MPD’s body camera policy also prohibits officers from viewing body camera footage of critical incidents involving deadly force by or against a police officer or ones that involve great bodily harm or death unless approved by the assigned investigating agency.

News By Eric Best ebest@journalmpls.com @ericthebest

Tabb, Erwin elected to lead Park Board Park commissioners chose new leadership July 20 following the resignations of its top elected officials. Commissioners elected Anita Tabb president of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board and Commissioner John Erwin, a former board president, was selected to be vice president. Commissioners Liz Wielinski and Scott Vreeland submitted letters July 15 resigning from the nine-member Erwin board’s president and vice president positions, respectively, though the two maintain their board seats. Commissioners Tabb voted 7-1 in each instance. Interruptions from audience members who called for public input on the leadership selections temporarily derailed the meeting, causing a short recess. The elections follow several intense months for the board. Earlier this year, the board, under Wielinski’s leadership, secured a long-term funding plan — known as the 20 Year Neighborhood Parks Plan— for maintaining neighborhood parks,

praised by commissioners and their peers on the City Council as a historic agreement between the traditionally distant governing bodies. Commissioners recently approved racial and economic equity criteria to guide the hundreds of millions of dollars worth of investments into the system. They’ve also maintained the honor of the country’s top park system. But activists and community members have criticized the board for inequitable investments into neighborhood parks and a lack of diversity in its leadership, among other concerns, at meetings in recent months. Conversations tensed between the board and activists when Wielinski and Nekima Levy-Pounds, president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP and one of the audience members calling for public input, had a publicly heated exchange during a May Park Board meeting. Several speakers at the July 20 meeting reiterated calls that the all-white board doesn’t reflect the population of Minneapolis. In a letter to Superintendent Jayne Miller and fellow commissioners, Wielinski, who represents Minneapolis east of the Mississippi River, cited health concerns as her reason to leave the board’s helm. “Unfortunately, my position and the pressures involved have taken a heavy toll on my health. This is most certainly not the way I hoped to wrap up my tenure as president of the board, but after consultation

with my doctor and family members, and with consideration for the importance of the board for the parks in this city, I have decided this move is best at this juncture in my life,” she wrote. As vice president, Vreeland would have been her successor, but in his letter he declined the post and resigned from his leadership position. “Although I would be honored to serve as President of this great organization, I would like to decline that opportunity,” he wrote. Commissioner Brad Bourn, who often disagrees with others on the board, nominated himself for vice president, but didn’t receive support from other commissioners despite the backing of several people in the audience. In a last-minute speech to fellow commissioners, Bourn said he would have used the position “to try to build a bridge with some of our critics.” “I would be happy to put whatever credibility that I have on the line with some of our critics to try to advance some common solutions,” he told fellow commissioners before the vote. Tabb (District 4) is in her second term representing an area of the city that stretches from the downtown Minneapolis riverfront to neighborhoods surrounding Cedar Lake, Lake of the Isles and Lake Calhoun. She praised Wielinski for her lobbying effort with the city to get additional funding for neighborhood parks and

Vreeland for his “genuine love of our parks.” “There’s nothing small about the neighborhood parks plan, which President Wielinski championed and really was able to get through,” she said. “I know this won’t be easy, and we will move forward in the very best way we can do that.” Tabb joined the board following time with Park Watch, a neighborhood activist group and blog that Wielinski and other Minneapolis residents started in 2004 in to make the Park Board more transparent. Both ran for the board in 2009 and won. Erwin, a University of Minnesota horticulture professor, is an at-large commissioner and was president of the board for four consecutive one-year terms prior to Wielinski, who previously served as vice president. “I am honored to serve in a leadership role again,” Erwin said in a statement. “My hope is that we can take a moment to ‘reset’ to insure that all communities are heard and their concerns addressed. Along with this, we have much work to do on the 20 Year Neighborhood Parks Plan, youth programming, greening and increasing wildlife habitat.”

A flair for local fare A culinary tour of U.S. Bank Stadium

By Eric Best / ebest@journalmpls.com

he new home of the Minnesota Vikings will have offerings from several local restaurants and food partners. Aramark’s M Hospitality has unveiled a smorgasbord of concession items with 20 partnerships with both established and up-and-coming businesses on U.S. Bank Stadium’s menu. The new roster of vendors rounds out a previously announced list of locally well-known food partners like Andrew Zimmern, Gavin Kaysen of Spoon & Stable, Revival and Ike’s Food & Cocktails. Among the new Minneapolis-based businesses joining the $1.1-billion stadium’s culinary roster are companies like up-andcomers T-Rex Cookie Company and Tattersall Distilling, and more established partners like Kramarczuk’s and Murray’s Steakhouse. Other locally known companies include hot dog and sausage maker Prairie Dogs, Lola’s Café, Thomasina’s Cashew Brittle and fast-casual taco chain R Taco. For these companies the 66,200-seat stadium will offer a wider base of potential customers.

“I think from a small business here in the [Twin Cities] this means a lot to me in terms of being able to expose my brand and my product to a far greater audience than I would ever do on my own,” Tina Rexing, proprietor at T-Rex, told reporters at a media event. T-Rex, which moved into the former Cupcake space in Prospect Park a couple months ago, will have cookies, including a purple and gold “Skol” sugar cookie, available in clubs and suites. Rexing started the company just 16 months ago and has sold her half-pound cookies at local farmers markets. Rexing said she’ll bake the cookies — even five-pound cookies available via special order — in her University Avenue shop and deliver them two days in advance of all events at the stadium. Kramarczuk’s, already known among baseball fans at Target Field, will have its traditional German-style bratwurst, Andouille sausage and cheddar bratwurst available at the new stadium, Nick Kramarczuk said. Murray’s will offer short rib sandwiches in clubs and suites.

On the drink side, Aramark, which handles food and beverages for a total of 17 NFL teams, previously announced a partnership with Northeast Minneapolis breweries to round out its beer offerings from MillerCoors. Co-founder Dan Oskey said Tattersall Distilling, a distillery and cocktail room in Logan Park’s Thorp Building, will also be partnering with the stadium team on prebatch cocktails for suites, batch cocktails and satellite bars, though details have not been finalized on the partnership. Oskey, who has put together cocktail menus at restaurants like Eastside, has drawn up new recipes for U.S. Bank Stadium, which will be made by other staff with the venue. Oskey said the mix of cocktails features new editions of traditional drinks like a bourbon sour and a cosmopolitan, along with unique options like the Purple People Eater. The drink is made with Tattersall’s vodka and its soon-to-be-released blueberry liqueur. “There are some classics on there, but they’re our take on it,” he said. R Taco will be serving several items from

its menu of street tacos, including a fried chicken taco and the Gringo Taco with spicy ground beef. Local owner Pam Ringgenberg said the nearly five-year-old chain, which early on expanded to St. Paul and then to Hennepin Avenue near Northeast Minneapolis, will also be expanding to Eagan and Eden Prairie by the end of the year. Another new partnership is Twin Cities Foodie, a collaboration among Matt Bickford of Icehouse and Tammy Wong of Rainbow Chinese Restaurant and Bar — both Whittierbased establishments— along with Shawn Smalley of Stillwater-based Smalley’s Caribbean BBQ. The stadium-exclusive concept, which will benefit the local chapter of antihunger organization Share Our Strength, will offer smoky chicken nachos, jerk bacon sandwiches and lemongrass meatballs, all recipes from the three chefs and restaurateurs. Partners from St. Paul include A Peace of Cake (nut mixes, snacks), Alimama Catering (Mediterranean and North African cuisine), Chocolat Celeste (chocolate) and Just Truﬄes (assorted truﬄes). The new list also features companies from neighboring suburbs and cities across Minnesota like Be Graceful Bakery & Catering (sandwiches and hoagies), Chappy Street Eats (gluten-free food), Cinnie Smiths (miniature cinnamon rolls), Curds & Cakes (cheese curds) and Gramsky’s Sandwiches (Midwestern-style sandwiches). Andrew Zimmern will have a two Andrew Zimmern’s Canteen outposts, plus rotisserie and hoagies partnerships. Allison Butler, Aramark’s regional vice president, described the stadium’s menu as “local, authentic and genuine.” “The City of Minneapolis has a lot to be proud of, and we could not be more proud to partner with these individual businesses,” she said in a statement. Michele Kelm-Helgen, chair of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, told reporters they were maintaining a precedent set by downtown’s other stadium. “I think Target Field really started the tradition of great Minnesota culinary experience at their stadium and we certainly have continued that,” she said. The first major event at the stadium will be an International Champions Cup match between AC Milan and Chelsea FC on Aug. 3. The first Vikings preseason game will be on Sunday, Aug. 28.

Block One  Ryan Companies has released renderings for its latest development in Downtown East, a 17-story office tower. The building, planned for a lot just east of the two Wells Fargo towers Ryan also built, would be approximately 460,000 square feet and would be connected to the skyway system, according to preliminary plans submitted for the City Planning Commission’s Committee of the Whole. Concept images of the project reveal a glossy tower at 4th & Park, in front of the large parking ramp that the developer built for the use of Minnesota Vikings fans. Ryan has not released information regarding a schedule for the project or if it has an anchor tenant yet.

116 E. HENNEPIN AVE. SCHAFER RICHARDSON

Montage North Loop-based developer Schafer Richardson expects to begin work soon — approximately Aug. 1 — on its Montage project, a six-story apartment complex to replace much of the legendary Nye’s Polonaise Room bar and restaurant buildings. The 72-unit Montage will preserve some of the Nicollet Island-East Bank landmark while adding new construction and inﬁll along Hennepin Avenue and Lourdes Place. For nearly 18 months, the developer has been working to develop the site, scrapping earlier plans for a 29-story apartment tower. Schafer Richardson is planning a roughly a 14-month construction.

Lennar Multifamily has moved forward with construction on its project on the Superior Plating site in Northeast Minneapolis. Peter Chmielewski, vice president of development, said Lennar has closed on ﬁnancing and has given its general contractor word to begin work on the 280-unit apartment complex. An official groundbreaking is being tentatively planned toward the end of August. The developer is building NordHaus, a 20-story tower surrounded by a low-rise podium with more than 22,000 square feet of retail space that is being marketed by CBRE. Months of soil pollution remediation and site work have prepared the lot along 1st Avenue for development.

401 NICOLLET MALL OPUS GROUP

Xcel headquarters Xcel Energy has officially opened its new headquarters on Nicollet Mall. The ninestory building, situated on the northern end of the mall across from the utility company’s former headquarters, has already started seeing employees move in, with approximately 750 slated to work out of the building. The 222,000-square-foot project, one of many new developments near the Gateway District of downtown Minneapolis, connects to the skyway system through Opus’ fairly new Nic on Fifth luxury apartment building and Xcel’s other office building.

The companies are proposing to demolish their existing buildings, in addition to two other low-rise buildings on the site at Central & 7th, and build a new 2,865-square-foot White Castle restaurant and a nearly 6,000-square-foot Holiday store. Holiday, one of the largest convenience and gas station companies in the country, and the fast food chain recently submitted preliminary plans to the City Planning Commission’s Committee of the Whole. They also presented very preliminary plans to the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association late last year. The joint project features a car wash, a rain garden and roughly 30 surface parking spaces combined.

A JOURNAL COMMITMENT TO HIGHLIGHTING GREAT COMMUNITY CAUSES

OutFront Minnesota

A strong advocate for the LGBTQ community

OutFront Minnesota is a leader in the fight for equality Evan Thomas was born female but knew he was male by the time he got to preschool. The 64-year-old St. Paul resident transitioned a few years ago but could not undergo surgery because his state-funded Medical Assistance does not cover it. Thomas connected with Phil Duran, legal director of OutFront Minnesota, which joined him in a lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on transition-related surgery for public health care programs. “He really worked his tail off to make sure this happened,” Thomas said of Duran. “It’s just a great organization.” For nearly 30 years, OutFront Minnesota has advocated for the LGBTQ community, operating a crisis line, connecting people with resources and advocating at the state Capitol. The nonprofit played a key role in defeating a proposed state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage in 2012 and more recently helped strengthen the state’s anti-bullying law. “So many people still, they feel like there’s something wrong with being who they are,” said Monica Meyer, OutFront execuLocation tive director. “Our society loses so much by having people have to feel that way.” 310 E. 38th St., OutFront Minnesota began in 1987 with the intent of becoming a central organizing point for the state’s gay and lesbian Suite 209, community, said Ann DeGroot, the organization’s founding director. She said a major focus in the early years was helping Minneapolis people come out in a safe space, noting that society wasn’t as accepting of LGBTQ people when the organization got its start. “The idea was to get ourselves to put a face to the issue,” DeGroot said. “We were kind of a mystery to a lot of people.” Contact The nonprofit began working to secure domestic-partner benefits for gay and lesbian couples and began establishing safe 612-822-0127 spaces for students at schools and colleges. It also led a campaign to amend the Minnesota Human Rights Act to ban discrimination against LGBTQ people in areas such as education, employment, public services and public accommodations. Gov. Website Arne Carlson signed the bill in 1993. outfront.org In 2003, the organization began its nearly 10-year fight against a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. OutFront Minnesota fought off the amendment until 2011, when the Legislature decided to bring it to voters. Year Founded Meyer said OutFront Minnesota saw the vote as a chance to mobilize thousands of Minnesotans in support of same-sex 1987 marriage, an opportunity the organization could not have produced on its own. OutFront Minnesota teamed with Project 515 to form Minnesotans United for All Families, the main campaign working to defeat the amendment. More than 700 organizations across Minnesota signed onto their coalition, as did tens of thousands of volunteers and donors. “It was the campaign that caught people’s hearts,” Meyer said. “People felt really good about being involved.” The grassroots efforts paid off, as 52.8 percent of Minnesota voters rejected the amendment in November 2012. The Legislature voted to legalize same-sex marriage in 2013. OutFront Minnesota next worked on passing a stronger anti-bullying law in Minnesota. The state had one of the weakest anti-bullying laws in the country at the time, Meyer said. She added that the organization wanted a law requiring schools to say they were against bullying and intimidation of all groups in the Human Rights Act. “In some ways, it was more difficult than marriage,” Meyer said of the bill, adding that the opposition argued that such a law would corrupt kids. “It was really the underlying current against all of it.” The “Safe Schools” bill passed in 2014.

Bike Beat / By Annie Van Cleve

AFTER THE DUST SETTLES When construction wraps up, downtown will be a friendlier place for bikers, walkers

t’s more than potholes that are getting filled during this summer’s construction season. In addition to regularly scheduled street repairs and reconstructions, new development — especially in Downtown East around the new U.S. Bank Stadium — is providing opportunity to make improvements to our downtown streets. “We’re moving toward a vision of a Protected Bikeway Network that connects with neighborhoods,” said Matthew Dyrdahl, the city’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator. Here’s an update on what people who ride bikes can look forward to once the dust settles downtown. • Washington Avenue is being reconstructed between Hennepin Avenue and 5th Avenue South. When the project is complete in 2017, it will feature a protected bike lane raised to sidewalk level to avoid conflict between cars and bikes. In a separate but related project, a new 35W on-ramp at 4th Street will also be built in the near future, which will help alleviate some of the congestion on Washington Avenue.

• Hennepin-Lyndale Avenues are being reconstructed between Franklin Avenue and Dunwoody Boulevard. On the west side, there will be sidewalk improvements and on the east side trail and sidewalk improvements. Intersections will also be improved, and a new crosswalk will be added on the northside of the Groveland intersection. New street lighting, expanded boulevards and new landscaping are other improvements that will enhance the experience of pedestrians and cyclists. The project is expected to be fully open to traffic in December of this year. • Nicollet Mall is being redesigned. When it reopens in fall 2017, it will feature more green space, especially at the two ends of the street near Loring Park on the south and the Mississippi River on the north. Nicollet will continue to function as a multimodal street with buses and cyclists sharing space. Lots of new public spaces along the street will be especially attractive to pedestrians. • Third Avenue South is being redesigned between 1st Street South and 16th Street East. The redesigned street will feature a protected bikeway when construction is completed in 2017.

Ask the Nurse Practitioner / By Michelle Napral

IS CHOLESTEROL A THING FOR PEOPLE UNDER 40? My athletic mom just had a heart attack at 64. Thankfully she’s fine. I’ve never thought about getting my heart checked. Should I? Yes, it’s absolutely a thing! The American Heart Association recommends that all adults ages 20 and older have their cholesterol checked once every five years. Even we healthcare providers need to check our cholesterol. Screening for elevated cholesterol is widely recommended to identify those who are at increased risk for heart disease. Because you now have a family history of heart disease, it’s even more important you not only check your cholesterol, but also reduce your own risk factors.

What is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the blood. Some cholesterol is healthy. But when there’s too much in the blood, it inflames the vessels and sticks to the walls of arteries, which forms plaque. The plaque narrows these vessels that bring blood to the heart muscles. If the heart doesn’t get enough blood because plaque is restricting flow, it can increase the risk of having a heart attack, stroke or coronary artery disease.

A cholesterol test measures different kinds of cholesterol. HDL is sometimes called the “good” cholesterol because having higher levels lowers the risk of heart disease. It moves out of the bloodstream and does not block your arteries. HDL levels are affected by activity level and diet. LDL is sometimes referred to as the “bad” cholesterol because it can stick to artery walls and block blood flow. LDL levels are affected by diet. Triglycerides are also measured during cholesterol tests. Although they’re not technically cholesterol, triglycerides are a type of fat the body uses to store energy. Having high triglycerides increases the risk of heart disease.

Check it. It’s easy. Talk with your provider about having your cholesterol checked. It’s an easy way to measure your risk for heart disease. But a good cholesterol result does not guarantee you are in the clear. Other cardiovascular disease risk factors include cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, a parent, sister or brother who got heart disease at a young age, aging and diabetes. At our clinic, we review cholesterol numbers and risk factors with patients

to determine risk of heart disease. If your cholesterol is high, we may also assess for other conditions that are closely linked to high cholesterol, such as diabetes, alcoholism, and thyroid, liver and kidney disease.

Choices for a healthy heart If you are a young adult with high cholesterol, now is the time to make some lifestyle choices to reduce your risk for heart disease. Cholesterol can be lowered through diet and exercise. Reduce the amount of fat in your meals by eating more whole grains, and fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat lean proteins such as fish, poultry, and legumes, and eat less red meat and processed meats. Use low-fat dairy products and use oils instead of solid fats when cooking. Limit sweets and processed foods like chips, cookies and baked goods. Exercise raises your good cholesterol, lowers your bad cholesterol, and helps the blood flow better through your body. Be active and choose activities you enjoy. Work up to 40 minutes of moderate to high inten-

sity physical activity at least three days per week. Some activity is better than none. Medication to lower cholesterol levels is effective and safe, but it is not a substitute for a healthy diet and activity. Not everyone with high cholesterol needs cholesterol medication. Based on your risk factors and cholesterol levels, your provider will help you determine if starting cholesterol lowering medication is appropriate for you. Cholesterol-lowering medication is typically recommended in people who have already had a heart attack or stroke, have known heart disease and diabetes. Heart disease is a concern for adults of all ages. Be sure to know and understand your risk for heart disease. If you have questions or concerns, see your provider.

Neighborhood Sp tlight Holland

CENTRAL & LOWRY BRINGS IN NEW BUSINESS Story and photos by Eric Best / ebest@journalmpls.com

The Holland neighborhood’s side of Central Avenue is seeing a new generation of businesses, giving Northeasters even more reasons to flock to the bustling area. From a local restaurateur’s new tapas bar to a “School of Rock”-style music school, the Central & Lowry area is now home to a new cast of local businesses.

COSTA BLANCA BISTRO

THE WATER BAR & PUBLIC STUDIO

2416 Central Ave. NE 789-9296 costablancabistro.com Local restaurateur Hector Ruiz has opened yet another restaurant concept in Minneapolis — his fifth, so far — but instead of South Minneapolis, he has ventured to the Central Corridor of Northeast Minneapolis. His new tapas bar, Costa Blanca Bistro, offers a dinner menu of $7–$16 plates featuring everything from a red snapper ceviche ($10) with avocado mousse and jicama to black ink pasta ($12) with shrimp and scallops. The restaurant, which quietly opened this summer, also serves brunch on Fridays and weekends starting at 10 a.m., with a menu that features staples like waﬄes and pancakes and unique plates like sautéed mussels. Ruiz is also behind Café Ena, Rincon 38, La Fresca and La Ceiba.

2516 Central Ave. NE 236-4324 water-bar.org Central Avenue is no stranger to bars and taprooms, but the Water Bar & Public Studio is unlike any in all of Northeast Minneapolis. Owners Shanai Matteson and Colin Kloecker recently opened the concept, one part water-focused educational project and one part art business, during Art-A-Whirl. The taproom serves tasting flights of free water from cities across the metro, weaving in conversations with local water experts to get patrons to think about what goes into each glass. In the back, there’s also an incubator for artists and designers to connect with the water bar theme and sell their work. Water Bar & Public Studio is open to the public during events and regularly on Mondays from 5 p.m.–10 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m.–3 p.m.

SARAH JANE’S MUSIC SCHOOL

Sarah Jane Perbix has played at Rock the Garden and the “Late Show with David Letterman,” but for the past year she’s had a new audience on Central Avenue. The longtime music teacher, who’s played with local musicians like Jeremy Messersmith and Cloud Cult, opened Sarah Jane’s Music School last spring and has already cultivated more than 300 students. The school, which is open to students of all ages, abilities and instruments, also employs a roster of about a dozen classically trained teachers and local music veterans to pass on their skills.

AKI’S BREADHAUS

In just a couple short years, Fair State Brewing Cooperative has made a name for itself with its well-made and often unique brews. The brewing co-op, located in one of the Northeast Investment Cooperative’s properties, is the first of its kind in Minnesota. Head brewer Niko Tonk churns out German-style and pale brews, but Fair State is also known for its sour beers, like the hibiscus-infused Roselle or Cromulence, a sour wheat beer modeled after a classic Berliner Weisse. The co-op model is also drawing attention with another brewing cooperative, newcomer Broken Clock Brewing, slated to open in the 56 Brewing space in Northeast Minneapolis.

2506 Central Ave. NE 578.7897 akisbreadhaus.com Just next door to Fair State Brewing Cooperative, you can pair your beer with local baked goods. Aki Berndt’s German bakery, Aki’s BreadHaus, offers fresh-baked pretzels, sweets like cherry streusel and cookies, and plenty of breads, from cardamom-infused loaves to an organic honey oat. The bakery, which is open 6:30 a.m.–3 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 7:30 a.m.–3 p.m. Saturday, also offers daily specials and coffee from Sweetwater Roasters.

Neighborhood overview

neighborhood was emphasized: “Holland is a quirky built environment that defies regularity and pattern. Residents of Holland are proud of the fact that the neighborhood is not pristine, perfect or regular. They enjoy the surprises, the unexpected places, and the slightly off-beat aesthetic that has evolved over the years.” The neighborhood also hosts the annual Hot Dish Revolution every spring — a hot dish contest/neighborhood fundraiser. Holland is also home to Edison High School, which has added new green infrastructure designed to make the school more energy efficient and improve stormwater management.

Never Odd or Even

Open Streets Northeast

It’s easy to overlook, but the name of Light Grey Art Lab’s latest exhibition, “Never Odd or Even,” is a palindrome, and that’s kind of the point. The showcase of more than 60 artists explores the flip side of things with an understated level of playfulness and illusion. The art, inspired by the palindrome concept, plays with dualities, symmetry and perspective with results in an array of styles. Light Grey Art Lab’s gallery in Whittier is free and open to the public from 12-7 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and 12-5 p.m. on Sunday.

Thanks to Open Streets, portions of Central, 22nd and 13th avenues in Northeast Minneapolis will be car-free on Sunday, Aug. 7. The event is one of several Open Street events in the city this summer, with Franklin Avenue (Aug. 21), West Broadway (Sept. 10), Nicollet Avenue (Sept. 18) and even more Minneapolis streets to see a little walkable and bikable bliss. There will be family-friendly events, activities from local businesses and more.

Mill City Cooks / By Jenny Heck

ARTISAN GOAT CHEESE AT THE MILL CITY FARMERS MARKET Lynn Reeck (left) and Nancy Reeck of Singing Hills Dairy. Submitted photo The hills are alive with the sound of goats at Singing Hills Dairy! The farm is a small artisan goat dairy on 25 acres of rolling pastures near the Big Woods State Park in Nerstrand, Minn. Twice a day, owners Lynn Reeck and her sister Nancy milk from 25-30 mixed heritage-breed goats including: Saanen, Nubian and Alpine. On a good day, each doe (female goat) will produce about a gallon of milk. Every week Lynn turns this milk into fresh cheeses with a variety of flavors and seasonal specialties such as honey lavender chèvre, curry raisin feta, herbed dill cheese curds, and many more. Goat cheese, which because of its fat content is more tart than cows-milk cheese, has a smooth, delicate flavor. It softens with heat but also keeps its texture for spreading on sandwiches, crostinis, pizzas, or even quesadillas (recipe for goat cheese quesadillas below). You can find Singing Hills’ cheeses, whey-fed pork, and grass-fed goat meat from Singing Hills Dairy at the Mill City Farmers Market every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market always has a variety of family activities including a weekly professional cooking demonstration at 10:30 a.m.,

MILL CITY FARMERS MARKET

Quesadillas with Goat Cheese, Greens, Fresh Herbs, and Salsa

The market is located in the Mill District at 704 S. 2nd St. and is open Saturday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Recipe by market chef Heather Heartman Makes 8 half quesadillas

live music, kids Power of Produce veggie sampling club where children ages 3-12 are empowered to learn about local produce and able to earn two dollars to spend on fruit and vegetables at the market! Be sure to bring your grocery-shopping list to the market on Saturday, Aug. 6 as the Mill City Farmers Market kicks off National Farmers Market week. One of the market’s sponsors, Chipotle, will be handing out $5 market vouchers to the first 1,000 visitors. The vouchers can be spent at the market on any take-home grocery products and are completely free of charge—a great push to buy that artisan cheese or weird lookin’ veggie you’ve had your eyes on!

Ingredients 8 whole wheat flour tortillas 8 ounces Singing Hills goat cheese about 1 cup, room temperature 2-3 bunches of greens, cleaned, stems removed, and chopped (kale, chard, or spinach) 2 cups salsa (purchased or homemade. Should not be too juicy, as it may squish out of the quesadilla) 1 cup chopped fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, or basil) Directions  Boil 1/4 cup water in a large sauté pan.  Add the cleaned greens and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook for two minutes until wilted. This may need to be done in batches, as the greens take up a lot of room in the pan to start.  Place greens on a paper towel to remove water. Squeeze out excess water and chop ﬁnely.  Spread a bit of goat cheese on half of each tortilla (about 1 1⁄2 tablespoons). Spread salsa on the cheese and add the cooked greens. Sprinkle on some fresh herbs, and fold in half.  Grill: lightly brush quesadillas with oil and grill on medium heat until crispy.  Stovetop: heat a small amount of oil in a large sauté pan and cook until tortilla is crispy and golden.  Let cool before eating. No need to reheat. These are wonderful at room temperature!
