Update from Eric Laska on the New Downtown/East Bank School

I wanted to let you know about one thing that Jacob Frey has secured with Clear Channel Communication - a free billboard advertising the new Webster School!  Here are a few more details about the Webster School:

-It is an existing Minneapolis Public School property that will start extensive renovation soon and open the fall of 2015.

-It will open as a Pre-Kindergarden to Grade 2 school, adding a new grade level each year after until it is Pre-K to Grade 5.

-It will be the default community school for the brand new attendance area 1G.  (1G has not been completely defined yet.  Please see the MPS flyer attached for their defined boundaries right now.)

I have attached photos of one of the billboards outside of the new Vikings Stadium.

[Download] West Bank Interpretive Vision - Final Draft

Excerpt from the introduction to the West Bank Interpretive Vision:

The West Bank of St. Anthony Falls was once an internationally known industrial complex built on the only waterfall on one of the world’s great rivers. Today the waterfall and river are attracting millions of visitors each year, many of whom enjoy the historical, cultural, and natural resources of the area.

What draws people to St. Anthony Falls has changed through time. The powerful river that flows over the falls had once sustained native people; today the falls remain a spiritual place for the Dakota. When early tourists traveled far and wide to admire wonders of nature, the falls became a sought-after destination. When rivers powered the nation’s industry, the falls produced enough energy to run the greatest milling center the world had ever known. When only railroads linked western farms to manufacturing centers and international ports, the falls stood at a critical hub of the nation’s rail network. The falls have long sustained an enduring confluence of human and natural systems

As a center for industry, the West Bank reached its zenith between the 1880s and 1920s, when Minneapolis was known as the “flour milling capital of the world.” In the decades that followed much of the area’s waterpower, milling, and railroad complex was buried, removed, or lost to fire. What remains is an extraordinary archaeological resource that holds memorable stories and large-scale artifacts, that if revealed would astonish today’s visitors. The area also holds stories of the falls that transcend history—in relationships with people and animals that are as present today as they have been for millennia.

Stay tuned for when the download of the West Bank Interpretive Vision is available!  Sorry for the error.

Health Through Chaos - New Book by Local Author

"Health Through Chaos" by Claudia Kittock, with Ryne & Tyler Kittock is available for a few days as a free Kindle download on Amazon.com before reverting to normal pricing.

"Health Through Chaos is a personal journey through cancer, and my eventual return to health. Shortly after I turned 53, I had my first colonoscopy as part of my yearly physical. Thirty seconds into the procedure, the doctor found colon cancer. I spent the next 2 years having multiple surgeries, radiation, and over a year of chemotherapy. I am happy and blessed to be cancer free, with the sincere hope of remaining so.

The most shocking part of the experience was to discover that once the treatments were over, my journey had just begun. Healing my body and soul was a long and arduous process with little guidance or help. I had to discover how to get well on my own, and after 3 years of daily effort, found myself well again.

My book is about that part of the journey, sharing what I discovered, my triumphs and my mistakes. It was not a journey of finding the one ‘right thing’ to do but rather discovering that there is no one thing. There are many facets of wellness and some are obvious and some very small, but each is vital. It’s a personal journey, but an empowering and life altering one.

This book is not intended for cancer patients only. It is intended for anyone hoping to regain their health and for people who have never been healthy."

A-Mill Hydro Project

Video from June 27 Public Meeting

Public Meeting - Friday, June 27

Minneapolis Leased Housing Associates IV, Limited Partnership is pursuing a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license to construct and operate the A-Mill Artist Lofts Hydroelectric Project, located in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the east bank of the Mississippi River at Upper St. Anthony Falls.

To engage with the public and resource agencies, a consultation was held to solicit comments on its proposed license application. This meeting took place at the time and location described below:

Date: Friday, June 27, 2014

Time: 10:00 am

Location: Minneapolis Central Library, Doty Board Room

Download meeting notice & materials...

Detailed Description (from developers website):

The purpose of this project is to restore hydropower to the Pillsbury A‐Mill building. The power will solely be used for the A‐Mill Artist Lofts, which is currently under construction and will provide 251 low‐income apartments. No power will be sold to the grid nor will power in excess of demand be produced. The hydroelectric facility is planned to be installed before the end of 2015 with construction starting as soon as applicable permits are obtained.

The Pillsbury A‐Mill, including the below referenced water infrastructure, was built in 1881. The A‐Mill is one of only 25 National Historic Landmarks in Minnesota. It operated as a flour mill until 2003. Power for the mill was produced by turbines in the building. To power the turbines water was brought in from the Mississippi river via a headrace tunnel. The water flowed down two drop shafts powering two turbines. The water was returned to the river via two tailrace tunnels. The water rights for the power used by A‐Mill have been kept with the property since its establishment. The proposed hydropower project uses approximately two thirds of its water rights or 200 cfs to generate 600 kW of power.

The proposed hydroelectric facility involves two separate sites (Figure 1). The first restores the existing intake structure (Figure 2) sleeves a pipe through the existing tunnel, replaces a turbine and generator in the existing downstream drop shaft, and conveys the turbine discharge through a box culvert placed in the existing outlet channel (Figure 3). Details regarding work outside the building are provided below. The intake structure and outlet structure are on property owned by Xcel Energy and the Minneapolis Park Board, respectively.There is an established legal right for the project owner to maintain these structures.

The intake will involve the reactivation of the former intake into the main headrace tunnel that is located below Main Street.  The intake structure is located on the left bank of the Mississippi River, a short distance upstream of Xcel Energy’s now decommissioned Main Street Hydroelectric facility.  The intake structure is presently partially closed by a concrete bulkhead.  There is two-foot square gated opening that conveys water into the tunnel.  Reactivation of the intake will involve removing the bulkhead, installing a trash rack and sluice gate, and dredging localized silty sediment immediately adjacent to the intake structure.  The new trash rack is designed to limit approach velocities to 0.5-feet-per-second.

The area immediately out from the intake was probed through the ice in mid-February, 2014.  Water depths ranged from 3-feet to over 8-feet below normal water level. The probing clearly identified the presence of relatively deep soft sediments in front of the intake structure.  For the intake to be reactivated and function effectively the area immediately in front of the intake will be dredged to the invert of the existing intake structure (~15-feet below the normal water level) tapering up to the existing bed elevation as shown on the attached plans.  The estimated volume of dredge material is estimated to be 500 cubic yards.

The new outlet structure will consist of a 4-foot high by 6-foot wide concrete box culvert that will be located on the invert of the historic outlet structure channel. The top of the culvert will be nearly submerged under typical river levels.  It will discharge unto the existing submerged apron.  Reactivation of the outlet structure will require the removal of silt that has accumulated since the A-Mill ceased operation.   There is approximately 100 cubic yards of silt to be removed off the submerged apron and another 160 cubic yards to be removed from the upstream existing tailrace.

Minneapolis Parks Begins Eight-year Effort to Mark, Remove and Replace Public Ash Trees

Via a June 18 Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board e-newsletter:

Seeing green? Here's what it means.

Approximately 30,000 ash trees lining Minneapolis boulevards and nearly ten thousand ash trees located in park properties are destined for infestation by Emerald Ash Borer (EAB). To lessen the effects of a sudden large-scale, city-wide canopy loss, Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) foresters will begin marking non-symptomatic public ash trees on Monday, June 23 as part of an eight-year effort to mark, remove and replace public ash trees on boulevards and in parks throughout the city.

The pre-emptive removal is part of the MPRB’s ash canopy replacement plan, which reduces the impact of tree losses by removing a small percentage of ash trees at a time and replacing them with a diverse range of tree species along each city block and within each park.

Forestry crews anticipate replacing 5,000 ash trees each year for eight years, with removal of ash trees during 2014-2021 and planting of replacement trees during 2015-2022. MPRB Director of Forestry Ralph Sievert said foresters will decide which non-symptomatic ash trees to replace on a neighborhood / block-by-block basis.

“Our goal is to replace approximately two to four ash trees on each block per season,” said Sievert. “Foresters will choose trees for replacement throughout an entire block so that properties are affected as evenly as possible.”

Maps of boulevard ash trees by neighborhood are available on the MPRB’s website www.minneapolisparks.org/eab. Maps of Minnesota EAB infestations are available from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture website.

Green Means EAB
Non-symptomatic ash trees identified for removal will be marked with a green painted “X,” and the MPRB will begin removing those ash trees and stumps throughout 2014. Replacement trees will be planted in spring and fall of 2015.

Ash trees infested with EAB will be marked with a green painted ring and removed as soon as possible. Infested trees are counted as part of the 5,000 trees to be replaced each year. Note: Any other tree species slated for removal are marked with orange paint.

Unless a tree possess a public hazard, trees remain marked for a minimum of five days before being removed.

Forestry crews will also continue the MRPB's EAB awareness program by wrapping Minneapolis public ash trees with an informational green ribbon. The ribbon alerts residents that, “EAB Kills Ash” trees. Trees are being wrapped with the informational green ribbons to raise awareness about the impact EAB is having on the urban forest.  The ribbon does not denote the tree is currently slated for removal.  It is only trees marked with green paint that will be replaced as part of the ash canopy replacement plan each year.

Minneapolis residents with a boulevard ash tree adjacent to their property may request to have it replaced by contacting the MPRB. There is no direct charge to replace boulevard ash trees.

While the MPRB is not using chemical treatments on ash trees, residents may treat non-symptomatic boulevard ash trees with insecticide at their own expense.  All ash treatments must be applied by a licensed and permitted tree care company. For a list of companies that have been issued a treatment permit visit www.minneapolisparks.org/eab.

The ash canopy replacement plan is funded through an annual $1.2 million levy that was first passed in 2013.  This levy needs to be passed annually to fund the eight year plan.

For more information on the MPRB's ash canopy replacement plan, visit www.minneapolisparks.org/eab. You can also reach the MPRB Forestry Department via email forestry@minneapolisparks.org or phone 612-313-7710.

Tonight - Music in the Park at Nicollet Island Amphitheater

Time - 7:00 PM

Performer - Socaholix

With the fury of a tropical hurricane, the Socaholix have burst onto the Minneapolis music scene. Comprised of former members of long-time Minneapolis favorite Shangoya, the band has familiar faces and fresh new singers. From Trinidad, Jamaica, The Congo, Tanzania, America and St. Croix, the line-up is truly international. Drawing from their vast musical backgrounds, the band delivers crowd pumping rhythms and energy sure to bring people to their feet for an all night soca party.

The ever present drum and bass combo of Lance Pollonais and Onesmo Kibira, provides the backbone for the Socaholix and is the foundation upon which the rest of the music is built. With the searing west African guitar of Siami and the percussive accents of Chico, the band bubbles wildly causing fans to dance about. Chilly uses his keyboards to enhance the sound with horn lines and accompaniment throughout. Jabba’s compelling vocals and performance antics along with the energetic dynamics of the band on stage creates a must see show.

From Soca standards to original compositions, the band consistently delivers professional, fun filled performances. While soca is the mainstay, it is not unusual to have reggae songs interspersed throughout the set.

Watch them perform on MN Original:

Stone Arch Bridge Lighting Repairs Underway

Last week we published photos of mostly dark arches on the Stone Arch Bridge.  Below is a photo taken 30 minutes ago of a crew working on repairs:

Lighting Repairs on the Stone Arch Bridge

I had contacted 3rd Ward City Council Member Jacob Frey only last week to let him know about the issue, so he got things moving pretty fast, at least by City Hall standards.

"The Stone Arch Bridge is a landmark for our city, and deserves to be highlighted, literally" said Frey.  "I'm glad to see our city crews restoring what should be the centerpeice of our beautiful city" he added.

Check back to track progress on this issue.

Lock Closure Bill Headed for a Vote

Klobuchar, Franken, Ellison, Paulsen, Walz, Nolan Provision to Keep Invasive Carp Out of Minnesota’s Waterways Included in Final Water Infrastructure Bill

The bipartisan provision, which will now go to the full Senate and House of Representatives for final approval, would help fight the spread of invasive carp by closing the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock within one year

 

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar along with U.S. Senator Al Franken and U.S. Representatives Keith Ellison, Erik Paulsen, Tim Walz and Rick Nolan announced today that their bipartisan provision to keep invasive carp out of Minnesota’s waterways has been included in the final water infrastructure conference bill. The provision, authored by Klobuchar in the Senate and Ellison in the House, would help fight the spread of invasive carp – also known as Asian carp – by closing the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock within one year. It will now go to the full Senate and House of Representatives for final approval.

“The spread of invasive carp poses a major threat not only to Minnesota’s environment, but also the recreation and fishing industries that help power our state’s economy and create jobs,” Klobuchar said. “I fought hard to include this critical lock closure provision in the final bill so we can stop these invasive species in their tracks.”

“Invasive carp in Minnesota’s lakes and rivers would prove disastrous for our fishing, boating, and tourism industries, which support thousands of jobs and contribute so much to our state’s economy,” said Franken. “I'm very pleased that our bipartisan measure to control and prevent the spread of these carp in Minnesota is one step closer to becoming law.”
 
“I’m proud that a bipartisan and bicameral push to protect Minnesota’s waterways from invasive carp will soon be headed to the president’s desk,” Rep. Ellison said. “Closing the little-used St. Anthony Falls Lock is the best way for us to slow the spread of invasive carp in Minnesota and to protect the natural resources that are critical to Minnesota’s economy and our way of life.” 
 
“Time is running out to stop Asian carp from jeopardizing Minnesota’s ecological and economic health,” Rep. Paulsen said. “The provision included in the WRDA conference report is important to help prevent the spread of invasive species in our lakes, streams, and rivers.”    
 
"These invasive carp pose a serious threat to Minnesota's waterways and our multi-billion dollar tourism and sportsmen industry," Rep. Walz said. "We must do all we can to stop them in their tracks. I'm pleased this provision was included in the WRDA conference report but the fight doesn’t end here, it begins here. We must stay on the offensive if we are to eliminate not only the threat of invasive carp, but the hundreds of other invasive species that hazard our waters.”
 
“Closing the lock and dam at St. Anthony Falls is our best and last chance to prevent Asian carp from invading the Mississippi watershed and destroying its native habitat,” Nolan said. “I'm pleased that this bill also includes my companion amendment redefining "invasive species" to include animal life as well as plants, adding another weapon to our arsenal in the fight against Asian carp, zebra mussels, and hundreds of other invasive species that threaten our Great Lakes and Minnesota waters.”
 
The provision is supported by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Audubon Minnesota Waters, Minnesota Seasonal Recreational Property Owners, Anglers for Habitat, Clean Water Action, Minnesota Coalition of Lake Associations, National Wildlife Federation, Fish & Wildlife Legislative Alliance, Mississippi River Fund, Minnesota Division Izaak Walton League of America, Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, Minnesota Trout Unlimited, National Parks Conservation Association, and Friends of the Mississippi River.
