JAKE NOKOVIC, DAILY

University of Minnesota officials are creating a new committee made of students, faculty and administrators to adjudicate sexual misconduct-related hearings.

The subcommittee of the Campus Committee on Student Behavior (CCSB) — the body that adjudicates student behavior cases at the University — will deal exclusively with sexual misconduct-related cases. The decision comes from a recommendation made by a workgroup of students, faculty and staff, Provost Karen Hanson announced earlier this month.

The move comes as reports of sexual misconduct at the University have increased in recent years and scrutiny has proliferated — both from victims and the accused — over institutions’ procedures for u See MISCONDUCT Page 3

Wendell Anderson, a former Minnesota Governor, U.S. Senator and University of Minnesota regent and alumnus, died Sunday at the age of 83.

A first-generation college student, Anderson was the son of a truck driver and a descendent of a Swedish immigrant who grew up on the east side of St. Paul in a working-class family. After high school, he attended the University of Minnesota.

“He had a wonderful university experience and a great undergraduate experience,” said Regent Thomas Devine.

Anderson played for the Gophers men’s hockey team and was a Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity member during his undergraduate studies. He went on to the University’s Law School and won a silver medal on the U.S. Olympic Hockey Team in 1956.

An auditor will provide Boynton with guidance on how to better serve the LGBTQIA community.

BY ELIANA SCHREIBER eschreiber@mndaily.com

As the popularity of “Pokemon Go” increases, University of Minnesota-area businesses are cashing in on the extra foot traffic.

Many local Minneapolis businesses have considered, or implemented, special promotions to attract more mobile-gamers.

Last week, Sencha Tea Bar in Stadium Village released three special shakes in correspondence with the three color teams of the game — red, yellow and blue — said store manager Josh Suwaratana.

Suwaratana said the store does special shakes for other occasions, so the Pokemon shakes weren’t anything out of the ordinary.

STATE BRIEFING

Two Park Board officers to resign The resignations of the Park Board’s president and vice president arrive after scrutiny from the black community.

BY AARON JOB ajob1@mndaily.com

Two Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board officers announced their resignation Friday following criticism from black community members last spring.

Board President Liz Wielinski and Vice President Scott Vreeland will step down

at a board meeting next Wednesday, but said they plan to maintain their board seats, according to letters the pair sent out on Friday.

While Vreeland didn’t state a reason for his resignation in the letter, Wielinkski cited health concerns.

“Unfortunately, my position and the pressures involved have taken a heavy

toll on my health,” Wielinski said.

Her decision to resign comes on the heels of scrutiny from black activists, led by Minneapolis NAACP President Nekima LevyPounds, who approached Wielinski during a park board meeting in May, voicing concerns about racial disparities in park staffing and facilities.

“We have come to you, in peace, time and time again, asking about the discriminator y practices of your

Park Board. The fact is, it has been well documented that you have treated African Americans and other people of color who work for the Park Board in a separate and unequal manner,” Levy-Pounds said at the May meeting. “We look around the table and ever y single one of you is white — how can you ef fectively represent the people of the city of Minneapolis when we’re not at the table?”

In a statement at a Park Board meeting, Wielinski

responded to the incident.

“While the Park Board has done work to both better understand racial equity and move toward achieving racial equity over the past five years, it is apparent that there are people who continue to feel that we have not heard their voices,” she said.

At Wednesday’s meeting, Minneapolis Park’s spokeswoman Dawn Sommers said the pair would help elect a new president and vice president.

Leg. special session slated for late August The special session will address tax and bonding bills.

BY RYAN FAIRCLOTH rfaircloth@mndaily.com

After Minnesota lawmakers convened Friday morning, a special session in late August looks likely.

During the two-hour meeting, Gov. Mark Dayton and legislative leaders spoke at a press conference about their special session bid.

“I will say that we had a really good meeting,” said House Speaker Kurt Daudt,

R-Crown. “We have decided, I think, that it’s in the best interest of everyone if we do a special session.”

Daudt said they are aiming to hold the special session during the third week of August. He said while they haven’t nailed down exact negotiations on the tax and bonding bills, they are hoping to come to an agreement soon.

Dayton also had positive remarks about the meeting, saying he was more optimistic about special session prospects than previously.

“Where there’s a will there’s a way, and I think there’s a will,” Dayton said.

However, the talks weren’t without compromise.

“I’ve agreed to give up my additional spending requests in the June 1 letter to the legislative leaders and in return … keep all the bonding projects,” Dayton said.

But legislative leaders have yet to find common ground on the Southwest light rail project, which Daudt said he still doesn’t support.

“It’s one of the complexities that we haven’t totally worked out,” he said.

Dayton said the special session agenda would most likely not include a bill addressing police-community relations because there won’t

be enough time to give that issue the attention it warrants beforehand.

“It absolutely is on my agenda for the regular session,” he said. “I want to have the oppor tunity to engage with various stakeholders in that process, and have something that … comes out that’s really thoughtful and going to make a dif ference across the state.”

Daudt said a meeting with Dayton in early July helped spur discussion on important issues.

“I think we made some real progress that day, and I think that’s why you

heard us having tons of increased cooperation and optimism that we’d actually get to a special session,” Daudt said.

A bonding bill that would include funding for state transpor tation and infrastructure projects is still in the works in the legislature.

In addition, a tax bill that would provide breaks for student loan debtors and a state income tax exemption for veterans’ retiree benefits are among other legislation pending state approval.

Daudt said the bills they agree on would be released to the public before the special session begins.

MPCA issues latest revisions to 21 arrests at march in proposed wild rice standards Mpls over police shooting

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota regulators on Tuesday unveiled the latest refinements to their proposal for revising the state’s water quality standards for protecting wild rice from sulfate pollution.

The draft document released Tuesday by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency builds on more than 600 comments submitted last fall about the agency’s original proposal.

The state’s existing standard limits sulfate discharges into wild rice waters to a flat 10 parts per million.

The 1970s-era r ule went largely unenforced until recently when the debate heated up over proposed copper-nickel mining and pollution from existing iron mines. Mining interests and their legislative allies then complained that the standard was too restrictive. So the MPCA is developing a new approach, using a complicated formula for

Sunny

setting limits for individual waters.

That approach is based on the interplay among sulfates, sulfides, iron and organic carbon in sediments where wild rice grows. Research shows that sulfates in the water aren’t directly toxic to wild rice, but they become toxic when bacteria convert them to sulfides in the sediments where the plants take root. Carbon in sediment provides food for the bacteria and boosts sulfide production.

Butterfly research peers into evolution

ALEX TUTHILL-PREUS, DAILY

Emilie Snell-Rood, assistant professor and principal investigator of the Snell-Rood Lab, examines slides holding butterfly brain slices in the Snell-Rood Lab on the St. Paul campus.

Research at the U covered the role of nutrition in the insect’s evolution.

BY DAVID CLAREY dclarey@mndaily.com

While Emilie SnellRood was in Florida, she couldn’t resist trekking out to the mangroves to catch butterflies.

She knew she could find a specimen needed for a study she was conducting; her research found that nutrients af fect fitness traits among some butterfly species.

According to SnellRood’s study, caterpillars that fed on plants

with high nitrogen levels produced numerous — albeit smaller — eggs.

In tur n, the study found butter flies can procreate more productively if their environments have the right amount of nutrients available.

“This has been a laborof-love project since star ting,” Snell-Rood said.

Star ting in 2011, SnellRood and her team traveled across the countr y to collect butterflies, examining traits from eye size to egg size in order to understand how nutrition affected the insect. The study collected more than 1,000 specimens from 96 dif ferent species. “[It’s] kind of a ludicrous amount of data,”

ALEX TUTHILL-PREUS, DAILY

Butterfly species Eumaeus atala sits under a microscope for imaging in the Snell-Rood Lab on the St. Paul campus.

“Even though this is in butterflies, it supports an evolutionary principle about nutrition shaping life-history evolution.”

EMILIE SNELL-ROOD Assistant professor, ecology, evolution and behavior department

co-author Eli Swanson said.

Snell-Rood and Swanson said the study stands out compared to other butter fly studies because of its breadth of data.

“Research like this has been done in other groups like mammals, but nothing to this fine scale,” Swanson said.

Some specimens took years to track down.

Snell-Rood said she would

monitor a website that posted sightings of butterflies in Wisconsin. Even after taking the three-hour trip out there, the butterflies weren’t always there, she said. And when she did stumble across them, capturing them wasn’t always easy.

“You just had to catch them, r unning through a bog without breaking an ankle,” Snell-Rood said.

“It is actually ver y hard to

run through a bog.”

In addition to live specimens, the study received half of its specimens from the University’s insect collection, some of which were more than 100 years old.

Marcus Kronforst, principal investigator of the University of Chicago’s Kronforst Lab, said the study’s wide swath of species made it stand out. “[It’s] really comprehensive,” Kronforst said.

“This is spanning basically ever y family [of butterfly].”

The findings could suggest, Snell-Rood said, that environmental factors can af fect the evolution of other animals —

including humans.

“Even though this is in butter flies, it suppor ts an evolutionar y principle about nutrition shaping life-histor y evolution,” Snell-Rood said.

Snell-Rood also has her own lab at the University of Minnesota, where she and her team study how organisms can adapt to different environments, with a particular focus on butterflies.

She said she may use some of the study’s data for other publications in the future.

“I think the next biggest thing that will come out of this data set … we have the brains of all these species,” she said. “That will be able to test the idea that nutrition affects brain evolution.”

New U committee to adjudicate sex misconduct cases Misconduct u from Page 1

handling these cases.

“We’ve all been thinking about what are the areas of this process that we could make improvements,” said Kimberly Hewitt, the University’s Title IX coordinator and director of Equal Opportunity of and Affirmative Action. “We were trying to think about ways to make the whole process shorter and also to increase the training and education of the people who were doing the panels.”

The CCSB, a volunteer committee of faculty, staff and students, has handled all student misconduct hearings in the past — cases that range from scholastic dishonesty to alcohol use to hazing.

But concerns from faculty, students and committee members that the hearing process was too lengthy and complicated, as well as that panelists were inadequately trained to deal with cases of sexual misconduct, led University officials to begin exploring new means to adjudicate sexual misconductrelated hearings.

“The subcommittee will be specifically trained on sexual misconduct cases, said CCSB secretary Becky Hippert. “We’ll be able to put more energy into that one topic from various perspectives.”

Hippert said more than 100 students have applied.

Hewitt said that between 40 and 50 faculty have also applied.

“We were pleased with the response on both sides,” Hewitt said.

Hewitt said the subcommittee will consist of between three and five panelists, comprising students, faculty, staff and school administrators, and a panel chair. The committee will judge whether an accused student is responsible and also determine sanctions.

Beginning in 2014, a workgroup of representatives from the Aurora Center, Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action, the University of Minnesota Police Department, and undergraduate and graduate student governments has discussed how to make the adjudication process for sexual misconduct cases quicker and fairer, Hewitt said.

“They’re super complicated cases,” Hewitt said. “We were concerned about the timing and that the people who are making these decisions are suppor ted with enough information and education.”

Although the workgroup looked at other schools — such as Claremont McKenna College and the University of Michigan — to develop a model for the subcommittee, the University’s approach will be unique, Hewitt said.

“I couldn’t point to another school that does exactly what we do,” she said.

In the old model, CCSB members received about five hours of training on handling sexual misconduct cases a year. The new committee will receive about 20 hours of training a year.

“That’s more than we’re able to do for the current Student Behavior Committee because we have to focus on a wide range of conduct code violations,” Hippert said.

While logistics are still undetermined, outside experts, along with University entities like the Office of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action and the Aurora Center, will conduct the training,

Hodges: All Mpls police officers will wear body cams by October

BY RYAN FAIRCLOTH rfaircloth@mndaily.com

Star ting Wednesday, nearly 200 Minneapolis police officers will wear body cameras daily.

Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges and Minneapolis Police Chief Janee Harteau held a press conference Tuesday to announce the update to the camera rollout.

The Minneapolis Police Department’s 1st Precinct of ficers were first to receive the cameras on July 11.

Officers in the 4th Precinct are currently undergoing body camera training and will wear the new cameras by the end of July.

Har teau said since the July 11 deployment, the cameras have already captured footage of gun seizures and robberies.

She said having evidence of these crimes on video will help them

prosecute offenders more quickly, since they won’t have to take time to talk to witnesses.

“The evidence is right there captured on that body camera,” Har teau said. “That is invaluable for time’s sake.”

Hodges said body cameras are a way to hold all involved in police interactions accountable.

“They are a tool that can increase tr ust and transparency between of ficers and the community,” she said.

Hodges said cities that have implemented similar camera measures have seen reductions in both the use of force and complaints.

In their finalized policy, Har teau said they drew from best practices used in other cities’ body camera programs.

“We know that this is a power ful tool,” Har teau said. “It’s a powerful tool in

accountability, and public trust and in evidence collection.”

Minneapolis Deputy Chief Travis Glampe said rules for accessing footage were determined during this year’s legislative session.

“It’s limited to the people who are in the video, or if an of ficer uses force that results in [substantial] bodily harm to an individual or greater, it can be released to the general public or if an of ficer uses their firearm,” Glampe said.

He said substantial bodily harm is usually defined as an injur y like a broken bone or worse.

Glampe said the policy makes officers turn on the cameras in traf fic stops, suspicious person stops and anytime an of ficer finds a situation “contentious.”

Body cameras will be worn by all of ficers citywide by mid-October.

Hewitt said.

Katie Eichele, director of the Aurora Center, said training may include proper techniques for interviewing victims without retriggering them, examining physical evidence and recognizing signs of victim trauma.

“Through law enforcement practices and University investigations, we’ve learned a lot of dif ferent techniques in terms of types of evidence that can be present and what to look for,” she said. “[It’s] a very broad and thorough sense of our panel needing to know these nuances when investigating and hearing out cases.”

Applications for potential committee members will be

accepted until July 25.

Hewitt said accepted applicants will have five hours of training on Aug. 11 and again on Aug. 18. The remaining 10 hours of training will happen through the course of the school year, but the first 10 hours must be completed before panelists can hear a case.

Since the subcommittee is a new method, Hewitt said the approach may evolve after it’s been implemented this school year.

“Ever ybody who is involved in this work is constantly reevaluating it … [and] looking at our own processes to think about how we can improve upon them,” she said. “It’s an ongoing

process.”

Hippert said other CCSB processes won’t change, and the way the University investigates sexual misconduct cases will stay the same.

“The process for the subcommittee mirrors the CCSB process very much,” she said. “We wanted to keep them very similar and not do something too different because we think the current process works.”

University officials said they don’t expect that implementing and running the new subcommittee would cost additional money. Panelists would be volunteers, and the school is looking for exper ts to volunteer their time for training.

Gophers women lead Directors’ Cup Minnesota’s women’s teams made up 57 percent of the department’s points.

BY CARISSA POLO cpolo@mndaily.com

The University of Minnesota has placed inside the top 20 of the Dvision I Lear field Director’s Cup for the first time since 2010.

Gophers Athletics finished 18th in the competition, where Minnesota women’s teams accounted for nearly 58 percent of the Gophers points.

“Even though I think outside our depar tment people think that our depar tment wasn’t real successful, so many of our teams think it was a pretty special year,” said Brad Frost, head coach of the women’s hockey team, which won the national championship this past season.

The Directors’ Cup recognizes athletic department success on a predetermined, point-based

system. Up to 20 spor ts can be represented in the final rankings.

Minnesota totaled 891.75 points in the rankings overall, with women’s spor ts bringing in 516.75 p o i n ts o v e r t h e m e n’ s 375.

Success in the postseason was especially cr ucial in the points that the women’s teams received.

Women’s hockey brought in the biggest number of any spor t, with 100 points for its second consecutive national title season.

“Cer tainly the success of the women’s programs in our depar tment is huge,” Frost said. “For our program in par ticular, we take a lot of pride in that, and we are really proud of the season that we had and the points that we could gain for our department.”

The team’s successful r un ear ned the depar tment 83 points toward its Directors’ Cup total.

“Of course we feel great about it,” said Hugh McCutcheon, women’s volleyball head coach. “It

was a great year in the depar tment with a lot of successful teams, so hopefully we can build on that.”

Other women’s spor ts that received significant point totals were cross countr y, soccer, gymnastics, swimming, softball and track and field.

McCutcheon said strong coaching and dedicated athletes are just a

few of the many factors that contributed to the University’s results.

“It’s a culmination of a lot of things. It’s a lot of work from a lot of people,” McCutcheon said. “It’s great to not only do it the right way but get the results.”

The Directors’ Cup rankings are separated into three segments throughout the year: fall, winter and

spring. At the conclusion of all spring spor ts, each school’s final tally is posted and then ranked.

Both men’s and women’s sports found the most success in the winter season; both brought in more than 200 points each, highlighted by strong per formances by both gymnastics and swimming, as well as the women’s hockey team. Men’s hockey and basketball received no points.

Four women’s teams also earned Big Ten conference or conference tournament wins during the year.

The men’s team fell behind with just two from hockey and baseball.

Despite the women’s teams coming up with big numbers on paper, McCutcheon said that the success of the athletic department is still a collective effort by all involved.

“You know, we’re all in this together,” he said. “It’s ver y much a reflection of all of us, not just one team or another.”

Gophers attend MN Wild development camp Two current Minnesota players and one alumnus participated in the camp last week.

BY JACK WHITE jwhite@mndaily.com

Though Minnesota doesn’t open its hockey schedule until October, three current and former Gophers players got the chance to play for their other hometown professional team last week.

Rising senior Justin Kloos, rising sophomore Jack Sadek and alumnus Nick Seeler all attended the Minnesota Wild’s annual development camp at St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center last week.

“It was fun,” Kloos said. “Obviously, it was really nice to just drive over from campus and get some good experience at the Wild Camp.”

The camp consisted of two scrimmages and four practices. The two scrimmages featured an overtime period and shootout.

Thursday and Sunday’s scrimmages were free and open to the public.

Kloos was one of 16 invitees that attended the camp. Kloos played alongside Jor dan Gr eenway, Aver y Peterson and Minnesota head coach Don Lucia’s son Mario in the overtime period of the two scrimmages. The senior managed to score a goal in the overtime period of the second scrimmage Sunday.

Kloos was invited to the camp as an undrafted player. He made a significant impact with the Gophers last season as the team’s top scorer and was given the John Mariucci Most Valuable Player Award.

The Wild’s camp was the first professional development camp Kloos attended. He said the experience was beneficial for getting a good start on his hockey career after college. “[I’m] getting used to the program, I guess,” Kloos said. “To get used to this a little bit — just how these things go and get maybe a little more confidence for the next camp.”

Seeler is the lone alumnus who attended the event. Seeler was drafted by the Wild in the fifth round of the 2011 NHL Draft.

Seeler last attended development camp in 2013 but has a bigger presence

ALEX TUTHILL-PREUS, DAILY

Prospective Minnesota Wild players take the ice for a scrimmage at the Excel Energy Center on Sunday during the 2016 Minnesota Wild Development Camp.

n o w. T h e d e f e n s e m a n played just one season with Minnesota last year due to transfer rules but decided to forgo his senior season of eligibility to sign an entr y-level contract with the Wild.

Now, Seeler is looking to find his place in the system.

“The coaches have been great [and] the players have been great,” Seeler said. “The coaches have been harping on little things — stick position, body position, where you put the puck, and it’s all important. It’s all important at the next level… I was just going to take it all in this week and tr y to translate that in Traverse City and then mini camp and see what happens.”

Jack Sadek was the true veteran represented at the camp. It was the upcoming sophomore’s second time at the event. He attended last year and was Minnesota’s seventh-

round pick in the 2015 draft.

“Last year I didn’t go to much of it because of classes in summer, but this year I went to ever ything,” Sadek said. “Definitely a good experience for me — learning a lot of stuf f, just having a good time.”

The trio now looks to take what they’ve learned from the camp into the season ahead. Kloos will tr y to excel in his final collegiate season, Sadek will attempt to earn more playing time for the Gophers and Seeler will likely showcase his skills for a Wild minor-league af filiate.

“It was good,” Sadek said. “Definitely a big showing this year. Definitely always get big showings on those Sundays, the second scrimmages. [The fans] were good to us, so we decided to give them a little show out there.”

Even many of the prolific players he coached are only memorialized now, but John Kundla, a legend himself, has a centur y behind him and almost 80 years of stories he’s still telling.

Kundla — a Minnesota basketball staple — played for the Gophers and later coached the team, as well as the former Minneapolis Lakers. He won four NBA Championships, one Basketball Association of America trophy and coached six members of the Basketball Hall of Fame during his career. He also was the first coach at the University of Minnesota to offer scholarships to black athletes.

Recently, Kundla added a new title to his list of accolades: centenarian. The storied coach turned 100 years old on July 3 and credits his beloved game in helping him reach the milestone.

“I was lucky to get great ball players,” Kundla said.

“The University of Minnesota helped a lot with my health. Being a gym teacher … helped for my age.”

Player first Kundla star ted his spor ts career as a prominent player, playing two sports while at Minnesota.

He star ted on the freshman basketball team for the Gophers before playing

guard for the varsity squad from 1937-39.

Kundla helped lead the Gophers to a Big Ten Championship under head coach Dave McMillan in his 1937 sophomore campaign.

A Minnesota Daily stor y from Feb. 9, 1937, described sophomore Kundla as “elusive and sharpshooting,” and praised his 20-point performance that led the way during a victor y for the “underdog” Gophers over the Purdue Boilermakers.

Kundla later helped lead the same team to the Big Ten Championship, which ended an 18-year first-place drought for the Gophers.

As a two-spor t par ticipant, Kundla was named the Minnesota Athlete of the Decade for the 1930s, an honor still on display at Williams Arena. He also ser ved as Minnesota’s primar y first baseman on the baseball team.

Kundla carried his baseball career on after college but played just one season with the minor league Paducah Indians before heading back to Minnesota.

Coaching beginnings Kundla returned to Minnesota to earn a master’s degree but also started his career as a coach.

He ser ved as an assistant to the man who helped him find success in the game, Minnesota’s second-longest-tenured head coach, Dave McMillan.

“McMillan taught me basketball fundamentals,” Kundla said. “I think when we won a championship in ’37, he was responsible for it.”

Kundla coached grade school and high school after his stint at Minnesota and then enlisted in the U.S. Navy, where he

ser ved for two years during World War II. “I became an of ficer,” Kundla said. “That was a big help when I star ted coaching, to be an of ficer in the Navy.”

After his militar y service, Kundla coached at the University of St. Thomas for one season.

Going pro Professional basketball came to Minneapolis in 1947 when Ben Berger and Morris Chafen bought the Detroit Gems and renamed the team the Lakers.

The franchise needed a head coach for the young team, and Kundla was at the top of the list.

The Lakers gave Kundla an of fer, but he was hesitant to accept.

“I tur ned them down twice,” Kundla said. “Finally, they came to me for the [third] time and came up to my house, talked to my wife, and I finally signed.”

The decision proved to be a good one. Kundla won a championship in five of his first six seasons as the team’s head coach.

Kundla coached hall-offamers George Mikan, Jim Pollard and Elgin Baylor during his tenure, so it was no surprise that Kundla himself was also inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame for his achievements with the Lakers in 1995.

Kundla also coached Bob Harrison, one of the first black players in the NBA. Har rison — who later coached at Har vard University — said he still stays in contact with Kundla.

“If anybody deser ved to be in [The Hall of Fame], he did,” Harrison said.

From Lakers to Gophers Though the Lakers

moved from Minneapolis to Los Angeles in 1960, Kundla’s coaching days were far from over. His new venture took him back to his roots – Williams Arena.

Kundla had a 110-105-career record in his 9 seasons as head coach of the Gophers.

The Gophers finished as high as second place in the Big Ten under Kundla’s coaching and was ranked as high as No. 7 in the country during his tenure.

“He had already coached a professional team, so he coached like a professional,” said Archie Clark, a for mer player.

“Our team was relatively like a professional team; that’s what he brought to our team. There wasn’t a whole lot of rah-rah-rah.

Do your job. That was it.”

One of Kundla’s more notable achievements came through the integration of basketball teams.

Kundla was the first University of Minnesota coach to give scholarships to black athletes. Archie Clark was one of them, along with fellow future NBA star Lou Hudson.

“I sure went through hell with that thing,” Kundla said. “I got a lot of heat and nasty letters for them. We played in the South looking for games, and hotels wouldn’t take us because of blacks and often we’d have to sleep in a black hotel. You’d go to eat and they wouldn’t feed you and tell you to ‘get out of here.’”

The coach also integrated the Lakers in a time where many professional basketball rosters only had white players.

“He was always respectful of me and my heritage and my basketball ability,” Har rison said. “I appreciated John.”

Runs in the Family Kundla traded coaching for teaching in 1968 and took time to slow down and focus on his family.

Kundla was married to his wife Mary Kundla for 68 years. The two had six children, and their grandchildren also went on to have athletic success in basketball. Kundla’s granddaughter, Rebekah Dahlman, was the first player in Minnesota high school history to score more than 5,000 points and was named 2013 Minnesota Miss Basketball in her senior year. She now plays Division I college basketball for Vanderbilt University.

Rebekah’s brother Noah Dahlman plays professional basketball for CS Dinamo Bucuresti in Romania. He also graduated with an Elite Eight appearance and AllAmerican honors as a collegiate player at Wofford College.

Isaiah Dahlman is the fourth-top scorer in Minnesota high school basketball histor y and played college basketball at Michigan State, making an appearance in the NCAA championship game with the Spartans in 2009.

“They’ve all graduated from college,” said Jim Larson, a friend of Kundla.

“Most of them, I think, at least five of the six grandchildren played collegiate athletics, and they’re ver y outstanding young people.

[Kundla] is extremely proud of them, every one of them.”

No. 100 It has been nearly 80 years since John Kundla began his journey as a Gophers basketball player and almost 60 since he took the helm of the program. He is the oldest living member of any national basketball, football, baseball or hockey fall of fame, but the game is still

Kundla passed his triple-digit milestone on July 3, which now matches his prolific victor y numbers, and a century of basketball and family memories starts right on campus.

“What an experience — and thanks to the University for making it possible,” Kundla said. “With meeting my wife at the University, I can’t say [thank you] enough.”

IOC explores legal options on banning all Russians from Rio

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — With just over two weeks until the opening ceremony, Russia still doesn’t know whether its athletes — all or even some — will be competing in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. It may all come down to the lawyers.

While the IOC decided Tuesday to ban from the Rio Games all Russian Spor ts Ministr y of ficials and other administrators implicated in allegations of a state-run doping program, it delayed a ruling on whether to take the unprecedented step of barring the entire Russian Olympic team.

The International Olympic Committee said it “will explore the legal options with regard to a collective ban of all Russian athletes for the Olympic Games 2016 versus the rights to individual justice.”

The IOC has also said it could let individual international sports federations

decide on whether to ban Russians from their events in Rio, just as the IAAF has done by r uling track and field athletes from the games. The 28 international federations that govern the individual sports at the summer games have made clear that they do not support a blanket ban, The IOC’s legal options may become clearer after Thursday, when the highest court in sports will rule on an appeal by 68 Russian track and field athletes seeking to over turn their ban from the games.

Two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva was among those arguing the Russian track and field team’s case Tuesday in Geneva at the Cour t of Arbitration for Spor t. Should the cour t rule Thursday in their favor, it would seemingly rule out the chance of the IOC imposing a blanket ban.

If the court upholds the IAAF’s exclusion of the

track athletes, however, that would keep the possibility of a total ban in play.

Fur ther appeals are also possible, meaning that the final word on the Russians may go down to the wire before Aug. 5, when the Rio games open.

Still, it will take a major leap for the IOC to impose the ultimate sanction of kicking out Russia entirely. IOC President Thomas Bach has repeatedly called for a balance between “individual justice and collective punishment.”

No countr y as a whole has ever been barred from the games for doping, and Russia is a major force in the Olympic movement as well as a spor ts powerhouse. The last time Russia was missing from the Olympics was when it boycotted the 1984 Los Angeles Games in retaliation for the U.S. boycott of the 1980 Moscow Games following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Russian President Vlad-

imir Putin called the doping allegations “a dangerous return to ... letting politics interfere with sport.”

“The Olympic movement, which is a tremendous force for uniting humanity, once again could find itself on the brink of division,” he said in a statement Monday after the release of the repor t into Russian doping issued

by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren.

The 15-member IOC executive board met by teleconference Tuesday to consider its moves following McLaren’s report.

The repor t, commissioned by the World AntiDoping Agency, accused the Russian Spor ts Ministr y, headed by Vitaly Mutko, of overseeing the doping of the countr y’s Olympic athletes on a scale larger than previous alleged. It said the ministr y had help from Russia’s intelligence ser vice, the FSB. The investigation uncovered an alleged doping

program that ensnared 28 spor ts, both summer and winter, and ran from 2011 to 2015. It found 312 positive tests that Russia’s deputy minister of spor t directed lab workers not to report to WADA. Mutko on Tuesday denied all wrongdoing and said he expected his subordinates to be cleared.

But addressing the ban by the IOC of Russian spor ts administrators, he said he was ready to accept it because “we have always been guests at the Olympics,” and that the important issue was that the Russian Olympic team go to the games.

The summer sports federations prefer that doping allegations are handled on an individual basis.

The Association of Summer Olympic International Federation asked WADA “to immediately provide all the detailed information to the 20 inter national federations concer ned so that they

may begin processing the individual cases under their own separate r ules and regulations as soon as possible, and in line with the WADA Code and the Olympic Charter.”

“It is important to focus on the need for individual justice in all these cases.”

Rather than applying a total ban, federations could suspend individual Russian spor ts. That already was the case with the IAAF ban on Russia’s track athletes from Rio following previous WADAcommissioned repor ts into Russian doping.

The summer association’s position falls in line with r ecent comments

by Bach, who cited the need for balancing “individual justice and collective punishment.” He said last week that, if summer spor ts were implicated in the McLaren repor t, the federations would have to decide on the eligibility of Russians “on an individual basis.”

Twins shut down in 1-0 loss to Detroit after Ryan’s firing

Valentine’s buzzer beater gives Bulls title at Summer League

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT — Minnesota manager Paul Molitor shrugged of f any attempt to connect Terry Ryan’s firing with the team’s punchless per formance against Detroit.

“I’m not going to put those two things together,” Molitor said. “It is a tough day, and I suppose you could ask ever y individual, but I don’t think it had an impact. Once you get on the field, you just have to play.”

Ricky Nolasco pitched six strong innings for the Twins, but he allowed Justin Upton’s homer in the second for the game’s only run, and Minnesota lost 1-0 to the Tigers on Monday night. Earlier in the day, the last-place T wins an-

nounced that Ryan, their general manager, had been fired.

Detroit’s Matt Boyd (12) allowed three hits in six outstanding innings. He struck out seven with one walk. Three relievers finished for the Tigers, with Francisco Rodriguez pitching a hitless ninth for his 26th save in 28 chances “We’ve been struggling of fensively coming out of the break, and that didn’t change,” Molitor said. “We had a lot of trouble with Boyd’s offspeed pitches.”

Nolasco (4-8) allowed one run and three hits.

Upton’s homer was his 200th. Although the Tigers left the bases loaded in the third, Boyd and the bullpen made their one run stand up. Monday was the longest scoreless start of the

25-year-old left-hander’s career. The Tigers acquired him in last year’s trade that sent David Price to Toronto.

The only real misstep

by Boyd came in the sixth, after he snagged Joe Mauer’s line drive up the middle. Looking pleased with himself, Boyd flipped the ball from his glove to his bare hand and then threw the ball into left field in a failed attempt to star t the toss around the infield.

Boyd’s biggest jam was in the fourth, when he got Eddie Rosario on a grounder for the third out with two on. The Twins didn’t have another baserunner until Miguel Sano’s one-out walk in the ninth.

Honored The Tigers gave tickets

to some Dallas police officers who were in town for the funeral of Michael Krol, a Michigan native who was among the five of ficers killed earlier this month by a gunman in Dallas. The officers were shown in the crowd on the big screen at the star t of the fifth inning, and fans gave them a standing ovation. There was a brief pause before the game restarted, and a couple umpires joined in the clapping.

“I got goosebumps.

That was probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen,” Tigers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said.

“The whole city kind of stood up and rallied and let those guys know that we do suppor t them. Those guys lay their lives on the line.”

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — Denzel Valentine put a thrilling finish on the NBA Summer League.

Valentine hit the tying 3-pointer with the final second of regulation, then made a jumper at the buzzer in overtime to give the Chicago Bulls an 84-82 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night.

Valentine was scoreless on 0-for-6 shooting through three quarters, but he proved that fortunes change quickly in Las Vegas. His 3-pointer with 0.2 seconds forced the extra period after Tyus Jones had just given Minnesota a

77-74 lead on a 3 with 3.6 seconds to go.

It was tied again on Xavier Silas’ 3 with 11.7 seconds remaining in OT, but Valentine, the college player of the year from Michigan State, worked the clock down before making his spinning jumper in the lane as the Bulls finished 7-0.

That ended the NBA portion of summer basketball after leagues in Orlando, Salt Lake City and Las Vegas over the last two weeks. Rookies got their first looks, some veterans got their last shots, and it ended with a play that had Twitter buzzing like a game that took place in June instead of July.

Editorials & Opinions COMMUNITY

Graduates, it’s time to fulfill your civic duty A mandatory term of community service for graduates would benefit everyone involved.

I

cannot recall a bloodier, more unforgiving year than 2016.

The problems highlighted by catastrophes this year — police brutality, racism, homophobia, socioeconomic injustice — are not new, but they’ve just now reached a boiling point.

A complex web of issues precipitated the injustices we’ve seen in Orlando, Louisiana, Dallas and Minnesota, and now, the healing must begin with the young people in our communities.

Our society must create communities whose members respect each other by instituting a required period of civic ser vice after high school.

This, to me, is just an extension to a solution fostered by a number of activists, police of ficers and pundits alike — community policing, a practice of cops maintaining an active presence in the neighborhoods they’re responsible for, instead of being detached and ignorant of the space they ser ve.

Some people still have reser vations.

Even if police depar tments instituted

JOHN THOMAS columnist

community policing across the nation, many citizens would still find it hard to see themselves and their values, community and histor y reflected in their local police force.

This concern has merit. Many par ts of the gover nment are opaque, awash in whiteness, disconnected from the communities that they are supposed to ser ve. However, cops — by the vir tue of their profession — are required to be right there, in the community, ever y day.

Therefore, they must be attuned to the intricacies of their community.

I propose that each high school graduate spend two years in a position that puts them in a place of responsibility and understanding in their community. This would place young people in public programs in need like schools, social ser vices, parks and recreation or the police forces.

Successful communities are constantly restr ucturing themselves by providing

new ser vices and improving the quality of life of their residents. There is no better way for a community to serve its constituents than by employing its own members to ensure order and peace. Put simply, we need young people to help develop our communities because they will inherit them.

The night that Philando Castile was murdered, I went to the Governor’s Mansion and listened to dif ferent individuals describe their truths to the crowd. It made me realize that one of the greatest things Black Lives Matter has done is create a community for people disaf fected and disassociated from the government and social ser vices that so many of us, myself included, take for granted.

Black Lives Matter and organizations like it will always be necessar y. Racism and other forms of bigotr y will unfor tunately be around for the rest of my lifetime and my children’s lifetime. However, the disconnect between the people that the state is supposed to ser ve, and those the state employs does not have to continue indefinitely.

Truckers tackle human trafficking Branding and marketing aren’t as effective as educating people about the signs of trafficking.

A

new organization combatting sex trafficking is giving an entirely new meaning to the words “truck stop.”

Truckers Against Trafficking has recruited nearly 250,000 truck drivers committed to spotting and reporting sex trafficking on the road.

Truckers are especially helpful allies when it comes to spotting cases of sex trafficking because they see areas of the United States that most people don’t, and at times when illegal activity might occur under the cover of darkness.

Truckers Against Trafficking trains drivers to identify red flags of sex trafficking. This includes looking for children and young adults who appear hopeless, are dressed in revealing ways or have tattoos that imply ownership.

If a driver sees a potential victim-survivor, they can call a hotline to report their location, and the direction the suspect is headed.

While I whole-heartedly support this cause, the group’s growing popularity has led to production of stickers, posters and wallet cards that might run counter to the group’s intentions.

A more inclusive Republican Party

A

rancorous crowd vibrantly chanting “Never Trump” greeted GOP convention-goers on Monday. This is the same convention whose delegates formally nominated Donald Trump as the Republican Party candidate; a convention whose job is to bring people together — that is, if you’re white.

The first indication the convention’s preposterous lack of diversity is in its speakers.

During the previous Republican National Convention, Mitt Romney invited some prominent leaders of the Latino community. This year, the only two Latino speakers are previous candidates Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz.

It’s no surprise, though, because right before the beginning of the RNC, Rep. Steve King questioned the contributions of nonwhite communities to society, arguing that “white civilizations” had contributed the most.

This notion augments Trump’s comments about many of the groups he has estranged.

Recently, Newt Gingrich commented that all Muslim people who believe in Shariah should be deported from the U.S. Donald Trump affirmed his desire for a ban on Muslim immigration, and reaffirmed his distaste for refugees.

Last night, the Republican Party needed to stand for all Americans. Instead, the rhetoric spun a different tale. Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, said that the American people don’t feel safe. Ironically, his words ring truer than he realizes — especially when our nation may be on the precipice of a Trump regime.

As GOP leaders continue attacking minority communities, they’re alienating their party from groups too large to ignore. Communities of color don’t feel safe because the harmful rhetoric employed at this national convention could result in nominee-condoned violence against their physical integrity. If the GOP doesn’t change its platform to represent the identities it now marginalizes, it will die an old man’s death.

Black lives matter, including officers

Full disclosure: I despise cops. All of them. That being said, has anyone considered that if this were to go into effect, that Minneapolis cops would resign en masse and just go work at a city that doesn’t require professional liability insurance (e.g., every other city in Minnesota)?

This is a right step, and state statues can be changed, as can union contracts, but let’s think about this for a moment.

This [accountability measure] will help in weeding out bad [cops] from the good cops and their influences over good cops, who form the thin blue line in the face of the ver y citizens and community they swear to protect and serve.

It would also be useful to include training on how to identify sex trafficking during truck driving school. Ohio already incorporates this into its curriculum, but sex trafficking is a problem across the entire nation.

efore Gavin Long shot six police officers in Baton Rouge, La., Sunday, he insisted that he believed in justice.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Nat Turner and Malcolm X, Long said in a video that “Zero have been successful just over simple protesting. ... You gotta fight back.”

As a black man who had served his country in the Marine Corps — the same country that allows police to kill black men just like him — it’s easy to see why Long was angry. It’s easy to see why he felt the drive to react against police in Baton Rouge, who had just killed Alton Sterling for no reason a week before.

But no matter how easy it is to understand Long’s frustration, we can never accept a society that reacts to senseless violence with more senseless violence.

Among the three officers Long killed in Baton Rouge was Montrell Jackson — a black police officer who’d often dealt with racism in and out of uniform. Even after his co-workers killed Sterling, Jackson pleaded with his community members, saying “don’t let hate infect your heart.” He leaves behind his newborn son — a black child that will likely grow up and confront the same tensions his father died for.

Long’s violence no doubt represents an urge by jaded Americans, especially because the United States has made little progress since the racist police-sanctioned murder of Trayvon Martin in 2012.

But this officer shooting has only resulted in more black blood needlessly shed.

The destruction of black bodies must stop.

Black lives matter. And so, the lives of black police officers matter too.

From campus to the Capitol building Reps. Whelan and Christensen, both U alumni, won Legislature seats in 2014.

BY KEVIN BECKMAN kbeckman@mndaily.com

Before she started writing bills, Rep. Abigail Whelan, R-Anoka, had to work past C papers in her political science class.

And Rep. Drew Christensen, R-Burnsville, toiled his way through the political science department’s formidable internship program.

In 2014, both Gophers were elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives, where they serve on the Higher Education Policy and Finance and Education Innovation Policy committees together. Now, as their first terms come to an end, both are running for re-election this election season.

While they each got something a little different from the University of Minnesota, both said the school helped equip them for careers in the Legislature after graduation.

Christensen and Whelan said attending the University of Minnesota gave them a sense comradery in the Legislature.

“We’ve both kind of established ourselves as people that other legislators can come to with questions about the University of Minnesota because we’ve had such recent experiences at the U,” Christensen said. “Certainly the U is a passion of mine and Representative Whelan’s.”

Days on the quad From getting her bachelor’s degree in political science and history to her master’s in public policy, Whelan, 28, said the University encouraged her to consider things from different perspectives and enhanced her drive and motivation.

“Their incredible emphasis on diversity, in many ways, forced me out of my shell,” Whelan said. “I got to see lots of different sides of things and aspects of things that I hadn’t considered.”

Whelan said during a course on the Supreme Court, political science professor Timothy Johnson encouraged her to develop

her writing skills with a bit of tough love.

“He pushed me and challenged me,” Whelan said.

“He gave me a C on one of my first papers, and I was angry.

I was like, ‘You’ve got to be kidding me.’ Overall, I ended up doing well in the class. He forced me to become a better writer.”

While getting her graduate degree, Whelan served as a teaching and research assistant for Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance in the University’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs and the department of political science.

Jacobs said of the two or three dozen teaching assistants he’s had in his tenure at the University, Whelan was in the “all-pro league.”

“She was so great the first year. I kind of lobbied her to do it again the second year,” he said. “She became someone I thoroughly relied on. …

If I could have hired her permanently, I would have done it.”

For Christensen, who said he always wanted to attend the University, the school taught him how to identify problems that are in the greatest need of solutions.

“I think that’s definitely an approach that I honed at the University of Minnesota — trying to absorb as much information as I can and being able to make a good decision based on the facts and the information that’s available,” Christensen said.

He said the internship experience he got at the University held special significance for him, particularly the political science internship program, directed by Paul Soper. “[Drew] was always very engaged in politics during his undergraduate career, exploring a variety of public service careers,” Soper said. “I’m not at all surprised that he pursued a seat in the state Legislature.”

scrutiny and critical reports about the University’s human research practices after the 2004 suicide of research par ticipant Dan Markingson, Whelan cosponsored a bill mandating state oversight of clinical drug trials in the University’s department of psychiatry.

The bill was signed into law by Gov. Mark Dayton and requires the state’s Ombudsman for Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities to ensure that the psychiatr y department’s efforts to protect human subjects comply with federal law and the University’s Institutional Review Board mandates.

“My hope is that it will foster a more open environment at the University,” Whelan said. “Bringing a third party in to kind of help do damage control will ensure that things like what happened to Dan Markingson don’t happen again.”

Christensen, who voted

for the bill, said he’s hopeful the new law will shed light on a department marked by controversy.

“I’m just hopeful that we can find facts in the situation and hold people accountable that need to be held accountable,” he said.

This past legislative session, Whelan authored a bill that would have withheld $14 million in funds meant for the University’s medical school unless the school established a research center to oversee its use of fetal tissue and agreed to only use fetuses that died of natural causes.

While the bill did not pass committee, Whelan said the measures stemmed from lingering questions about the legality and ethics of the University’s past fetal tissue research, which came under scr utiny after the University denied — allegedly by mistake — and then

confirmed that research using aborted fetal tissue occurred at the school.

“I don’t have a problem with [the research],” Whelan said. “The University is known for great research and breakthroughs. I just want it to be done ethically and within the bounds of the law.”

Reflections on 2016 legislative session’s end

Whelan and Christensen both expressed disappointment with the end of this year’s session, which saw a lawmakers fail to compromise on a bonding bill and the veto of a tax bill by Gov. Mark Dayton that had been agreed upon by most of the legislature.

“It was kind of bittersweet,” Whelan said. “It felt like we did really good work.

We passed a tax bill with 89 percent of the legislature voting for it … and [Dayton] pocket vetoed it. … I was frustrated.”

Christensen said he was also unsatisfied about the tax bill.

“I think that it’s unfair to the college students that [the tax bill] would have helped,” he said. “The tax bill included provisions to help college students and especially college students with student debt.”

Dayton and legislative leaders have been discussing holding a special session in August.

Christensen and Whelan expressed mixed views on its prospects.

“I’m optimistic,” Christensen said. “I think the governor will understand that it’s the right thing to do for Minnesota. I think there’s real opportunity here for a grand compromise.”

Whelan said her hopes weren’t so high but didn’t discount the possibility.

“You plan for the worst and hope for the best,” she said. “You never know, but personally I think it’s a slim chance.

Groups meet to talk student alcohol use

Boynton audits LGBTQIA services

Politicians, business owners and police gathered Tuesday in Dinkytown.

At a meeting Tuesday, public officials and community members met to discuss solutions to alcohol-related problems in and around the University of Minnesota.

The group — which included apar tment managers, business owners, police of ficers and governmental bodies was hosted by Blarney Pub & Grill owner Mike Mulrooney and Ward 2 City Council Member Cam Gordon. The group met at Blarney to give input on alcohol safety in the University area.

Alcohol use has grown as a part of campus culture, said University Alumna and Marcy-Holmes Resident Ardes Johnson.

“How do we teach kids how to drink alcohol?”

Johnson said.

She said alcohol has become much more accessible since she was a student, adding Dinkytown Wine & Spirits is only about 30 years old.

Alcohol is inexpensive and highly advertised, so college students are surrounded by it, she said.

“It’s so difficult for young people today,” Johnson said.

“I feel so sympathetic.”

The group discussed some possible solutions, like increased communication between apartment managers and the University, more security in apartments and more communication with parents, she said.

Research presented at the meeting showed that students don’t participate in alternative, school-sponsored activities as much as University leaders would like. Other recent studies show student participation in alcohol education programs has declined, Johnson said.

Community members are still discussing future action.

Students will join officials at an upcoming meeting, which is currently unscheduled.

Services University can improve service for the LGBTQIA community.

Boynton partnered with the Gender and Sexuality Center for Queer and Trans Life to create the position and received a grant from the Office for Equity and Diversity to fund it.

“Coming out of that par tnership is the idea of just benchmarking ourselves, and that will help to see where we are at currently. … That will help us determine where we want to go in the future — to make sure we are providing first-rate care for all of our students,” said Kate Elwell, Boynton’s health promotion specialist.

Elwell said the position is geared toward a graduate student and will be compensated with a $4,000 stipend during the school year.

Trevor Mar tinez, a recent University graduate — who identifies as gay — said he thinks Boynton was

helpful but recalled a visit where he said a staff member used heteronormative language.

“During a routine questionnaire on medical [sexual] histor y and behavior, the staf f member questioning me used female pronouns for my partner,” Mar tinez said. “The pronoun of a potential partner was just something I may not have noticed or had to think about had a genderneutral pronoun been used. The quality of my care, however, was not affected.”

Of ficials said the decision to organize an audit wasn’t spur red by complaints. Rather, they said, they wanted to be proactive in understanding the way LGBTQIA students respond to their health care procedures.

“I think there’s a lot of health disparities for LGBTQ people in general, and I think that definitely trickles down to students,” said Gender and Sexuality Center director Stef Wilenchek. “In terms of accessing health care …

challenges are presented in terms of transphobia, homophobia and biphobia in any of the systems that students are having to encounter.”

While this is Boynton’s first time conducting a review specifically tailored for the LGBTQ community, Wilenchek said it’s not uncommon at other colleges for health ser vices to work with campus centers designated for gender and sexuality issues.

Jim Kellogg, the director of student health and wellness at the University of Iowa, said the student health center is currently working with the University’s LGBTQ Clinic — which ser ves the general public — to provide more health care options for LGBTQIA-identifying students.

“We have an opportunity, with some of our medical staff, to shift some of that demand to pull as many students out of that clinic as we can and get them into our clinic,” Kellogg said. “I think initially we didn’t have the training

we needed to provide that ser vice, and we’re increasing our access by having more individuals trained.”

Sarah Van Orman, the executive director of University Health Ser vices at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, said their health care ser vice has worked with their on-campus LGBT Center to develop a framework for how the Center can provide comprehensive health care for students who identify as transgender.

“Now we have a pretty comprehensive program where we can provide really a full spectrum of health care for [transgender] students.”

When asked what an audit may hold for the future of health care for marginalized students, Wilencheck said, “At some point hopefully we’ll be doing broader sur veys to really gauge students’ experiences of feeling accepted. ... I think if anything, it’s a sign of more folks being educated or a sign of more folks understanding and taking action.”

BATON ROUGE, La. — Across this city, shocked residents gathered Tuesday in churches, at community vigils and a motorcycle rally to offer support for the law enforcement community and the three officers who were slain in an ambush by a gunman.

Families with children, drivers passing through and law enforcement of ficers from outside the area have been laying flowers and balloons or hanging

crosses at a makeshift memorial in front of the BQuick convenience store near where the of ficers were killed Sunday.

Tuesday evening a procession of a few hundred motorcyclists roared down Airline Highway and gathered at police headquarters to show their respects.

Funeral arrangements for two of the officers have been made public: Montrell Jackson, a 10-year police force veteran with a newborn at home, will be laid to rest Monday.

WUERZBURG, Germany — A 17-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker vowing “revenge on these infidels” went on an ax-and-knife rampage on a train in southern Germany, wounding five people before being shot and killed by police — an attack that German authorities conceded Tuesday was almost impossible to prevent.

German officials didn’t identify the attacker or the victims, but Hong Kong’s immigration department said among those wounded were four members of a family of

nese city.

The dpa news agency r epor ted the attacker wounded the 62-year-old father, the 58-year-old mother, their adult daughter and her boyfriend. The teenage son was not hurt. The father and the boyfriend had tried to defend the other family members, dpa said.

At least one member of the Chinese family and another woman attacked outside the train were in life-threatening condition, according to Bamberg prosecutor Erik Ohlenschlager.

The Islamic State group

Monday night train attack, which came less than a week after the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice, France, also claimed by IS, in which 84 people were killed.

Bavaria’s top security official Joachim Herrmann said, while the Nice attack was “clearly another dimension,” in both cases the choices of weapons and targets made them “extremely difficult to prevent in any fashion.”

“In one case a truck, in another an ax and knife — those are the weapons that society cannot logically eliminate, with which any person could

they could put to use at virtually any location at any time of night or day,” he said.

Nevertheless, he urged an increased visible police presence across the country.

Germany has not experienced the large, deadly attacks that France and Belgium have, although a string of sexual assaults and robberies on New Year’s Eve in Cologne that prosecutors say were committed largely by foreigners gave rise to fears of whether the countr y could cope with the 1 million migrants it registered in 2015.

FESTIVAL

The Hotelier’s Christian Holden The indie-rock band finished a tour of Europe and landed at Pitchfork Music Festival.

You guys are about to finish up your tour, and Pitchfork is the last stop. When you guys drive around the countr y, you must be listening to music.

Actually, I feel like we’ve been listening to less music on this tour than we have on previous tours — a lot of people with headphones on. I’ve been listening to a lot of audiobooks and podcasts. When we were touring Europe there wasn’t a radio in our van, so we were all acting ver y insular.

BY JOE CRISTO jcristo@mndaily.com

F

ollowing the release of their two studio records — “Home, Like Noplace is there” in 2014 and “Goodness” in 2016 — American rock band, the Hotelier, sat down with A&E to discuss its creative process, the inspiration for its latest album and its plans after Pitchfork Music Festival.

It’s been two years between the r elease of your albums — what have you been up to?

When did you write the recor d? Do you write the songs yourself?

We just have been doing a lot of touring for a while. I think over the course of 2014 and 2015, we had been, like, playing shows for a third of that time. We’ve been mostly learning how to be people who do music as a hobby to people who do music as a living — learning to interact with the world of art in a different way.

I wrote the record inbetween shows whenever I got a chance. I mostly come up with chords and words, and we sor t of jam them out together.

The album star ts with a spoken-wor d piece.

What inspired it? Why are some titles coordinates?

I sort of made sure that there is a lot of intentional grounding in this work.

Making sure a lot of people are centered and present. I’m also, like, leading them through the record by introducing ever ything — like I’m a guide or something.

ways in which that word is used, exploring the natural aspects of ar t. It’s about exploring the interaction of dif ferent cycles of life and time.

Your album cover is a bit dif ferent than most. It features naked adults who are not “attractive” by traditional standards. Who are the people on the album cover? How was this idea conceived?

The people on the album cover ar t are figure models, retired ar tists and other folks who were willing to pose for something special that we wanted to make.

[What inspired it was] an interaction with the idea of nakedness and all

On past recor ds, you write a lot about your mental health and love.

This time around, what did you write about that didn’t make it onto this album?

Honestly, ever ything we had written made it onto the record. When you ar e constantly touring, you sor t of have to come up with ever y little thing you are going to use on the fly. There is usually a map with bits and pieces, and I tr y to fit it all together. I don’t know, maybe I write dif ferent than most

songwriters. But basically, there were no songs that didn’t make it onto this record.

can sor t of represent this idea of eclecticism, where all of the sounds and ideas are just different. Yeah.

What are some influences on this new record?

Musically, it would’ve been a lot of the people we were playing with this last year or so, anyone who is making interesting music.

We are sor t of endlessly influenced by all the genres of music we come in contact with, even if it doesn’t necessarily show.

Some stuff is just us interacting with dif ferent ideologies about the world, basically — like delving into a more spiritual understanding of my life, at least. And tr ying to think of ways in which music

What about your songwriting was dif ferent on this record?

We were experimenting a lot more with how to create pop songs that interact with the listener, shaking up the pop song str uctur e a little bit. I think this record became a little bit more advanced in terms of how we were dealing with those str uctures and also how we can sor t of allow the music to challenge the listener.

Pop music is sor t of not known for challenging the listener. We just wanted that to be equally present all the time.

Was this your first tour of Europe? Where did you guys go this time around?

Nope. We had toured back in 2015. We went to Switzerland and Austria, which we had never been to before. We went to Prague. Italy. The European tour was really, really cool because we went to a lot of places I’ve never been to before and a lot of places I’ve never seen.

Do you find the audiences to be dif ferent at all?

Not par ticularly. There was a surprising turnout in Europe, which made me pretty happy. I’m not sure if I could really pinpoint how they were dif ferent, but I’m sure they are probably, definitely different in some way. We brought our friends Rozwell Kid, who are from West V irginia.

We played with them more than most bands. And then we played with whoever was there in the U.K. What are you guys going to be doing after the tour?

L ying down. Probably a whole lot of relaxing. Just seeing people we haven’t maybe talked to in a while.

But, uh, definitely a lot of lying down.

FASHION

Street style: Pitchfork Music Festival Pitchfork patrons brought their best to the Chicago music festival.

BY JOE CRISTO jcristo@mndaily.com

M

usic festivals are places where selfexpression is not just encouraged but expected.

Last weekend in Chicago, indie-rock kids and their older music-loving kin met at Pitchfork Music Festival to revel in nostalgia and experience the nouveau.

What happens when thousands of different types of people congregate in one place?

It becomes a powder keg of fashion and style.

Sometimes people dress for comfor t; other times they dress to impress. Here are what the get-ups — both classic and bizarre — look like from Pitchfork.

Stephanie Bahoman, 21 What she wore: A shirt that says “internet” with pictures of a young boy.

Bahoman’s outfit was bought online as a joke.

It’s an internet meme come alive that represents the nexus of fashion, humor and popular culture. Bahoman cares “more about

individuality than style.”

Bahoman came to Pitchfork from Miami, Fla., to see Sufjan Stevens and Brian Wilson.

Michael Iokavidu, 55 What he wore: Culturally inspired garb including a flowing skirt and sandals.

Iokavidu came to Pitchfork because of his daughter’s 30th bir thday. He is wearing an outfit that blends cultural influences while maintaining a distinct interest in comfor t.

Iokavidu dresses similarly ever y day, but emphasized the practicality of his outfit because of the blisteringly hot weather.

Iokavidu came to Pitchfork from Chicago to see Brian Wilson, Savages and Shamir.

Riley Iosh, 24 What she wore: A black crop top, black pants with a rainbow accent, and a hula hoop.

Iosh has been hooping for three years now.

She describes her style as “witch-housy,” — a blend of electronic music culture with Wiccan principles. She is an active member of the poi community — a performance art that emphasizes the swinging of weights and hoops, sometimes with the

BALLS Cabaret

The Walker offers a host of free films to those who wish to explore the stranger shades of cinema. This week, the art hub screens “KIKI.” Following in the footsteps of legendary documentary “Paris is Burning,” “KIKI” follows the experience of queer youth performers in Kiki ballroom competitions. Uncovering the joy, darkness, exclusion and vitality of the subculture, “KIKI” features a compelling narrative of growth and loss.

Jazzfest is over, but Lowertown is still feeling the beat. The third annual Lowertown Blues & Funk Festival is sure to light up the city with hot licks and grounded grooves. With an eclectic lineup, the festival features local favorites as well as some newcomers.

Audiences can expect thundering brass, rich bass tones and the undeniable swing of a crisp drum kit. It’s free and sports entertainment for everyone — you can’t lose.

There is no set lineup for the weekly open-mic cabaret — that’s why BALLS Cabaret is exciting. Every week, the Southern Theater opens up its stage to all different kinds of artists. You even have the opportunity to take your act up on stage; all you have to do is sign up. The cabaret welcomes storytellers and local musicians of varying skill levels to perform during the event.

CULTURE to CONSUME /

“Sun Coming Down” by Ought

The Moon

Anything

This record came out last year and is worth a revisit. The Montreal post-punkers uncover entire worlds in the fractured narratives of the 8-track record. Their arrangements sound huge — Ought combines drums, keys, guitar and bass to create lush tracks which rarely clock in under 5 minutes. Don’t be mistaken: Ought earns every second of the run time. Lyricist and vocalist Tim Darcy sings a gorgeous, warbling baritone to express the sincerity buried somewhere in modernity. Contemporary life can get you down, yes, but Ought serves up a glimmer of hope.

Summer is leaving us. We’re halfway through the season, and school looms. If you have access to a porch, make sure you grab some friends and watch the night sky move. There’s nothing like enjoying a summer evening in the company of pals, particularly when the clock is ticking. If you took the general education astronomy course that everyone seems to hate, you can show off your moon observation abilities and convince yourself that undergrad is or was worth it.

If you have some free time this summer, why not spend it creating something? You’re the one reading culture compass. There are plenty of cheap ways to express yourself through art — draw something with chalk, write a song or make a stupid movie with your friends. While these pieces might not remind you of esteemed artists, they’ll be mementos to the one afternoon you decided to create a prog-rock fantasia.

Get out there, nerd.

SUPERNATURAL

Q&A: psychic Echo Bodine A medium, her deceased mother and a spirit guide walk into a Bachman’s.

BY SOPHIA VILENSKY svilensky@mndaily.com

N

o one notices anything odd because she’s just a normal

person.

She won’t read you right now, anyway — she’s buying flowers.

A&E sat down with Echo Bodine — medium/psychic/ healer/author/teacher/ ghostbuster/all-around gal — to chat about groundedness, Ouija boards and slutty brownies.

Let’s start by getting the questions you’re always asked out of the way. What are some things you’re used to hearing?

The first question usually is, “How did you get into all of this?” The second question is usually, “Is Echo your stage name or your real name?” My real name is Echo Lee Bodine, and how I got into all of this? Oh my gosh, OK … [here Bodine launched into the oft-cited yet nonetheless interesting story of how she realized her potential at age 17. I couldn’t write all of it down, but it can be read about in her book, “Echoes of the Soul.”]

Do you remember certain instances before you knew you had the abilities?

In second grade I would know who was sick or who wasn’t coming back to school. It was confusing when I was little because I couldn’t understand why it was happening, but I assumed everyone did it.

Is that something that still happens? Or just in second grade?

I’ve learned to protect myself so that I don’t feel it anymore. I can walk by really sick people and not feel anything. Well, I can’t really say that. Now it’s more of a

knowing like, “Oh, there’s something wrong with that person.”

What are some of the things you like to teach your students?

Intuition and psychic abilities are not the same thing.

Two of the main psychic abilities are clair voyance, which is seeing images, and clairaudience, which is hearing spirit. Both of these are in your head. Intuition is in your gut — it’s that feeling we all have that’s extremely accurate and never misleads us. It’s important to me that everyone knows how to communicate with their intuition.

Do you think anyone can harness psychic abilities?

It’s like this — I think that we all have the potential to be psychic just like we all have the potential to be a really good piano player, but a lot of us don’t want to play piano.

And there are a lot of people that sit down at a piano and their fingers fly.

That’s right. In my family, my mom and I had to take classes to develop our abilities, but my brother [celebrated psychic Michael Bodine] never took any classes. He’s just been psychic his whole life.

How accurate are all of the reality shows that have been popping up?

“Long Island Medium?”

The shows are getting better about por traying things as they really are. Our family has been approached multiple times by production companies. They want sensationalism really bad. What I’ve heard is that for “Long Island Medium” they have to follow her throughout the week to get 40 minutes of accurate information. In a way, it’s a bummer because it gives people the impression that all psychics walk

up to complete strangers and bring through their deceased relatives. We don’t do that.

Do people expect you to be a certain way?

People who come [to the Center for Intuitive Living] to interview me will ask me when I open the door, “Is Echo Bodine here?” They expect me to come out with big hoop earrings, my black cat on my arm, long dangling skirts and maybe a tooth missing. If you walked into my class on a Tuesday night you’d think it was a group of realtors in here — we’re normal people. ... We just have these abilities. We live in both worlds. Like we see the deceased, but we’re at the grocery store.

Are there people in here right now?

No, it’s peaceful.

When you tell people [you’re psychic], do they feel like you owe them something?

Some people think we should be doing it for free, but it’s how we make a living. I get a lot of emails from people signing just their first name. “Hey, it’s Carrie. My dad died. Will you see if he’s OK?” Like really, that’s all I get? You think because this is an email I’ll know exactly who you’re talking about?

What are some common questions you get when you tell people you’re psychic?

“Can you read my mind?

Do you know what’s going on with me? Can you see my secrets, and do you know when I’m going to die?” I don’t want to know your secrets. I don’t want to read your mind, and you can relax.

With a lot of what you [do to get in touch] with

other people, is it ever hard to understand yourself?

It’s ver y hard to read yourself. If I’m stuck on something, I’ll call my brother. I do the same thing when I’m having trouble reading someone and they have a lot of blocks up.

Why do people get “blocked?”

They’re afraid of what they’re going to hear. [A lot of people ask about cancer or spouses having affairs.]

Can you explain spirit guides? How can we get in touch with them?

We all have spirit guides — they’re a guide for our soul that our soul picks out before we’re born. We can simply tell them that we want to be conscious of them. The thoughts and pictures that come throughout the day are often from our spirit guides, and at night

our spirit guides and our souls chat. “Remember that past life?” “Oh yeah, I remember that past life. That was murder.”

How do we get that information?

If it’s important for the conscious mind to know, you’ll know. Maybe through a dream or you’ll wake up in the morning with clarity.

A lot of times we just don’t consciously know what’s going on.

What does an average day look like to you?

The first thing I do when I wake up is sit on the side of my bed and listen to my intuition. I grab coffee, hit the office and check emails.

I might do a reading during the day, but lately I’ve been concentrating on answering emails or writing a blog so I can come [to the center] at night and teach. I’m a latenight person, usually doing

things until 2 or 3 a.m.

I like the night because it’s like the world is finally quiet, and I can just hear my own thoughts instead of all the chatter that’s constantly going on out there.

Throughout the day I’m open to both sides, and I talk to my guides and my intuition. My parents are both deceased, and sometimes they come and talk, too.

That’s the thing … it’s all really inside my head. I’m not much of an entertainer.

One more thing … let’s talk about those brownies you serve at meditations.

Ha! Slutty brownies. I didn’t make up the recipe or the name, I swear. You line the pan with cookie dough and then Oreos and brownie mix. They’re called that because they’re so easy.

FOOD

Taco Tour serves up authentic fare Minneapolis patrons took off on foot, bike and shuttle to explore the bustling Latino food district of East Lake Street.

BY SOPHIA VILENSKY svilensky@mndaily.com

O

ne street.

Two-and-a-half thousand attendees. Too many tacos. As if.

On Sunday, nine local Latino restaurants participated in the third annual Taco Tour on Lake Street; Har riet Brewing hosted an after party for those not completely stuffed after the day’s events.

Originally conceived through a grant from the City of Minneapolis Great Streets neighborhood business program, the event — coordinated by the Latino Economic Development Center (LEDC) — receives less city funding each year due to its growing popularity and self-sustainability.

Alber to Monseratte is the Co-Founder CEO of NewPublica, a local public relations and strategic communications firm that assists with event promotions. Last year more than 2,500 people attended the tour, a record broken at

this year’s event.

“People kept showing up on bikes,” Monseratte said. “We know that tacos are ver y popular in Minnesota, and we’re hoping to match that interest with the genuine tacos that have been here for a long time.”

Throughout the tour, par ticipants familiarized themselves with the traditional fare. Although employees moved fast, the line for Taco Taxi was consistent. With five options in front of me I asked for a recommendation; in no time at all I was grasping a steaming taco de cabeza.

I took a bite, enamored by the spices and flavors.

Those around me nodded in approval; they knew the taco’s magic, especially to someone raised on souther n Minnesota publicschool soft shells.

Restaurants each donate about 300 free tacos to the tour. This year, there were “only” about 3,000 free tacos available. A number of “one free taco” cards are handed out to registered par ticipants; each person gets to tr y of ferings from a few different restaurants.

“People usually leave pretty full,” Monseratte said.

K a r l D i s c h i n g e r, a first-time tour participant, was the quintessential

taco devotee.

With one stop left on the tour, Dischinger was “nine or 10” tacos in. (I, for one, only made it to three.)

His favorite was the tender tongue taco from La Mexicana Supermercado.

“Usually I just drive down the street, so it’s great to be on ground level.

You discover things you’d never see other wise,” Dischinger said.

At the event’s registration area — the Lake Street K-Mart parking lot — parents pushed strollers, and friends chatted excitedly as they waited for the next shuttle. The Hub set up shop with free bike checkups. Tinder matches found each other among the crowd — for foodies, it was a perfect first date.

It wasn’t all tacos, though. Many restaurants provided other tasty treats.

At La Mexicana Supermercado, 218 tres leches samples were gobbled up by 1:30 p.m. A little sample of tepache wasn’t enough for many par ticipants at A La Salsa, who decided to order full glasses after downing their free samples.

W ith potato-filled taquito samples going fast, Oscar Reyes, owner of Las Mojarras Restaurant, decided to whip up some tacos of his own in front

of attendees. As third-year participants, his daughters Viviana and Vanessa kept excellent watch over the taquito line they had contributed to; Viviana made the green salsa, and Vanessa made mango.

Businessman reimagines roller skates Henry Cervantes rolled out of double bypass surgery to follow his dreams.

BY ELIANA SCHREIBER eschreiber@mndaily.com

From a young age, Henr y Cer vantes and his seven siblings were pushed to succeed by their single mother.

Now, Cer vantes — a Califor nia native — has collaborated with the University of Minnesota to invent and build a new kind of in-line roller skate.

The product is a par t of his up-and-coming business, BallSkate. Cer vantes chose to market the skates in Minnesota because of the state’s connection to in-line skating, he said.

“Throughout the rise of in-line skating, and even throughout the decline, Minnesota has remained one of the active par ticipant states,” Cer vantes said.

BallSkate replaces the traditional wheels with balls that allow for more natural braking, Cer vantes said.

“In-line skates have an inherent flaw,” Cer vantes said. “The flaw is that they use wheels.”

Wheels don’t allow for smooth braking, he said, forcing users to lean back against their natural body movement.

Cer vantes said he and his team are still conducting market trials for the skates until September, but hope to release the first versions by 2017.

Throughout the patent process, Cer vantes has worked with the University in a program that lets Carlson School of Management students help new business startups.

The project — par t of a graduate course called New Product Design and Business Development (NPDBD) — is a par tnership between the College of Science & Engineering and the Carlson School, said Mechanical Engineering Professor and Medical Devices Center Director Arthur Erdman.

Cer vantes used data and r esear ch fr om the Carlson School to predict sales projections.

“Based on [their] predictions, our product will be a market disrupter,” he said.

The NPDBD course was originally a two-semester course, but was extended into the summer when students became more involved and wanted to continue.

Scott and Brennan Olsen, who founded Rollerblade, r ecommended Cer vantes work with

the breakdown of the teams in the area, he said.

“People are ver y loyal to their colors, so of course they’re going to pick their own color for that particular shake,” Suwaratana said.

Sencha is also located next to a Pokestop — a real-life location where players can obtain items in the game. Suwaratana said the proximity to the Pokestop has helped business attract players.

“I’ve definitely seen an increase of the ‘Pokemon Go’ players in our store,” he said.

Stub & Herb’s owner Josh Zavadil said he’s seen a slight increase in business, par ticularly on the patio.

Zavadil said the bar is coming out with a Pokestop special on Thursday in conjunction with their regular Thursday night specials.

“We’re just tr ying to figure out a way to kind of capture it … because there [are] so many people walking around. But the question is how you get them to walk in,” he said.

Henry Cervantes’ award-winning new roller skate design uses spherical balls instead of wheels and has an internal braking system that makes stopping easier.

Erdman because he and some graduate students helped develop the first Rollerblades in the late ’80s and early ’90s.

Erdman first met Cervantes last year when he applied to sponsor the course.

Cer vantes was a great mentor to the six students, Erdman said, all of whom will have their names on the BallSkate patent.

“I think [Cer vantes is] … self-made. He certainly has a lot of gifts,” Erdman said.

MBA Candidate and Business Lead Murid Amini said Cer vantes was a driving force, a cheerleader and an advisor for the project.

Collaborating with the University and Minnesota businesses was one of Cervantes’ priorities, Amini said, adding that his approach was one that benefits the local community.

Aside from being a good salesman and businessman, Cervantes is also a loyal and honest person, said his business par tner Roland Kessler.

Kessler met Cer vantes nearly 20 years ago, and said they instantly clicked.

“He’s good with people and tries to respect ever yone,” he said.

Even after having a heart attack and subsequent double bypass surgery in June, Cervantes was dedicated to

Utility box art decorates Prospect Park The neighborhood took a different approach to fix up graffiti targets.

BY RAJU CHADUVULA rchaduvula@mndaily.com

A project to distinguish the Prospect Park neighborhood from others was showcased on a tour for residents Thursday.

The project, led by the Prospect Park Association, recruited local artists to design artwork to wrap around six utility boxes in the area to help discourage graffiti.

The tour brought a group of neighborhood residents along University Avenue to display the final product.

Tamara Johnson, a PPA board member, said the project started in early 2015 when the Good Neighbor Fund opened its grant process, following similar efforts in the Marcy-Holmes and Southeast Como neighborhoods.

“The utility boxes invite graffiti, and putting art on them would discourage such actions,” Johnson said on the tour.

She said she wanted local artists to work on the project instead of using art preapproved by the city.

“The artist needs to have a connection to the neighborhood. ... They must live here or work here,” Johnson said.

After $12,500 from the GNF was granted, PPA put out a call for artists in the neighborhood, and after receiving 14 different proposals, the association selected artist Becka Rahn.

Rahn, who works in textile design and fabrics, said she saw similar projects around the city and thought working on one would be a unique experience.

She said she tried to make art that reflected her relationship to the Prospect

Park community.

Rahn said she took photographs of various items — like bottle caps, license plates, house numbers, bicycles and signs — found in Prospect Park to make collage designs.

The photographs were scanned and combined to create designs and pictures,

Former Minnesota governor credited with ‘Minnesota Miracle’ dies at 83 Wendell u from Page 1

served as Minnesota’s governor from 1971 to 1976. As governor, he was credited with securing the “Minnesota Miracle of 1971,” a reformation of public school and local government financing. He was even featured on the cover of Time Magazine in 1973.

Anderson was also an active member in the Swedish Council of America even after his terms as governor and U.S. Senator ended, Devine said.

Putting students first Anderson pushed to expand campus housing and increase the number of students as a regent. He always searched for ways to improve University life

and believed more housing would increase students’ par ticipation in school activities, Devine said.

He was involved in the plan to build Yudof Hall and was instr umental in the development of the University’s Carlson School of Management, Devine said.

Devine said Anderson often repeated the phrase, “Put the student first.”

He was passionate about student education and ensuring Minnesota students had access to a world-class institution, said Regent Darrin Rosha. Anderson and Rosha ser ved together as board members from 1989 to 1995.

“It was exciting to serve on a board with so many distinguished characters,” Rosha said. “[Anderson] had a wonder ful, resonate voice with a specific

speaking style.”

Rosha said Anderson believed in a state’s success through it’s obligation to education and that the denial of University applicants was troubling to him because it stopped future students from getting educated. “[Anderson’s] big issue was making sure … that Minnesota youth has access to our great land grant university,” Rosha said, adding Anderson credited his accomplished career to the education he received at the University.

“He really credited his University education with being so critical to have oppor tunities to be leader and to make an impact,” Rosha said. “Work hard, pursue your interests, achieve success, but always give back to the community.”

like a blue jay and a squirrel, she said.

Each box also shows the individual photos separate from the collage so people can see what made up the design, she said.

Johnson said she wanted one artist working on the project to give residents and passers by a sense of place

and continuity across the boxes.

The entire project took about a year to complete, Johnson said. That time was mostly spent finding an artist, getting permits for the utility boxes and approving the ar t with the city, she said.

Richard Adams, PPA

board member and longtime neighborhood resident, said the art improves the streets of the neighborhood. The artwork allows people to engage with the neighborhood while in the area, he said, and it’s something residents can be proud of.

Rahn said she plans to bring students from a local Montessori school on a scavenger hunt to find the pictures on boxes and see how they were used to create the designs.

L ydia McAner ney, a Prospect Park resident, said the project distinguishes the neighborhood’s look from others areas.

“We’re just trying to help identify our neighborhood,” McAnerney said.

These utility boxes can make people stop and notice their surroundings, she said.

The utility box ar t project is one of many identity projects PPA is working on. Recently, PPA passed bylaw changes to reduce its board size and reser ve two seats for a student and business representative.

Additionally, there are plans to place banners on lampposts in Prospect Park to create a sense of place for newcomers.

Proposed apartment may appeal to professionals

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY PLANNING &ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTY

Digital rendering of the proposed 1501 Como Ave. SE apartment complex.

Some residents have safety concerns with regard to the location of the buidling.

BY RYAN FAIRCLOTH rfaircloth@mndaily.com

A new apar tment proposed for the Southeast Como neighborhood has culled safety wor ries, though some longtime residents think the plan will draw much-needed diversity to the area.

The three-stor y, 30-unit building proposal was recently submitted to the city planner for review. The Southeast Como Improvement Association held a public hearing about the plans Thursday.

The development would be built at 1501 Como Ave. SE, taking the place of current auto repair shop Como Imports.

The proposal, which has been in development for six months, would include studio and one-bedroom units, said Greg Jansma, developer on the project.

Jansma said since units have fewer bedrooms and are priced around $1,000 to $1,300 per month, they may draw a different crowd than usual near-campus apartments.

“This just isn’t set up for [shared bedrooms], and that’s why this price point would never have a student clientele,” he said.

This apar tment would more likely attract young professionals, Jansma said.

But the apartment complex’s design isn’t aimed to discourage students, who he said are welcome to sign.

Joan Menken, a SECIA board member and chair of the group’s zoning committee, said she would like to see the apar tment draw an older or more

professional crowd rather than students.

She said she thinks demand for student housing will eventually decrease, adding that the neighborhood needs more diversity.

“What we don’t have is housing for the professionals, the graduate students; for seniors, for people that want to stay in the neighborhood,” Menken said.

But she said the location of the development — at the cor ner of the neighborhood’s busiest intersection — brings safety concerns.

“It is a corner that has had … some concerns as crime has gone up in the southeast area,” Menken said.

The first-floor units are especially concerning because of their close proximity to the sidewalk, she added.

“You’re talking about four units whose doorways and windows are like storefronts, right there on the sidewalk,” Menken said. “I have not seen that in the past.”

Because of these concerns, Menken said she’d like to see how the development would fare at other locations.

“I don’t think anyone’s saying, ‘Don’t build.’ I think that there is a project going in here; let’s get the best we can get out of it,” she said.

Constance Sullivan, a retired neighborhood resident, said she wishes the development wasn’t just residential, as the spot has been a commercial corner for decades.

“A lot of us would like to be able to see some business on the ground floor because the plan is mixed-use, and this is not mixed-use,” she said.

“This is solely residential.”

Blueprint — is the neighborhood’s long-term development plan.

At the pr oposed development location, the plan calls for townhomes, small-scale mixed-use buildings and small-scale condominium and apar tment buildings.

But Jansma said the proposal and its lack of mixed-use shouldn’t be an issue and actually aligns with the plan.

Menken said while she likes living near students, she’s excited for the possibility of seeing more diversity.

“What we need now is the diversity,” Menken said. “Healthy neighborhoods are diverse neighborhoods. They have a range of people.”

The proposal is currently under review but could be approved by the Minneapolis City Council as early as September, Jansma said.

If approved, he said construction could start as early as October and end as early as next May.

DR. DATE Dear Dr. Date,

Sorry, this is kind of TMI but I don’t know who else to turn to: I smell really bad. It’s not just a post-workout stink or something understandable like that — it’s a constant, underlying unpleasant odor that I’ve had for as long as I can remember.

This has made it super difficult to feel confident in the dating game. Even if I’m on a date and the person I’m with doesn’t say anything about it, I still feel certain that they are judging me for how I smell. In general, it’s just made me very self-conscious and doubtful that I can ever find someone who will be interested in me.

I honestly have no clue what the cause is, but I do know for certain that I want to make things better. Do you have any tips for a stinky girl that wants to feel normal, Doc?

—Pigpen Pigpen,

I’m not a medical doctor — just a vastly angstier love doctor — but I do know that ordinary human scent is totally natural, even if it is kinda gnarly sometimes. So what I’m hearing here is that maybe you just need to step up your scent game.

Just because everyone walks around with three layers of Dior and Axe doesn’t mean there’s anything better about them — only that they’re cloaking all their natural odors. We’re all just lying small lies about ourselves, homie, like when I tell myself three bottles of Malbec is not only welcome but expected to be consumed by me at a function.

Plenty of my homies at the co-ops and coffee shops around town would probably start a round of applause for your au naturel approach, but I can still help you with amping up your scent game. Welcome to “Fun With Scents-ville,” which coincidentally is located hella close to “Who’s That Girl-ville.”

Picking scents that match with your personality is always a safe route. The goal is to smell as beautiful as Rihanna’s personality. I myself use scents that make me smell like a pile of Usher’s sweaters.

If none of this helps, then I’ll tell you what I’ve always theorized about Armpit in “Holes”: There’s probably a glandular disorder and medical attention would be helpful.

—Dr. Date

Dear Dr. Date,

My best friend and I have just about the strongest friendship you can imagine.

We’ve always been very supportive of one another to a fault, including putting in effort to make each other’s significant others feel welcome.

So as part of this, sometimes I’ll hang out with her current boyfriend when she’s busy and he has nothing to do — you know, ’cause I want to help him feel like part of the group while I make sure he’s good enough for her. The thing about him, though, is that he’s a very friendly guy.

So far he hasn’t crossed any lines with me, but I am a little concerned about whether he’s being good-guy friendly or if he’s hitting on me. I don’t want to jump the gun and judge him, but my guard is up.

Should I tell my friend? Should I even be this suspicious? I honestly have no idea how to feel about this, Doc.

—Sus Sus,

Hmmm, this one will take finesse. It’s hard to really pin someone down without a good amount of time. Sometimes, you

figure things out too late. This is why Tinder has pictures — so you can know immediately who seems fine and who seeks to entice booty by slaughtering animals.

But before you swipe left on your bestie’s BF for her, remember that one person’s flirtation can be another person’s friendliness.

Say, for example, you both drink some wine together when you’re hanging out.

Seem OK so far? Cool, that’s not weird; who doesn’t love wine? If he starts playing Drake in the background, check again.

Still cool? Good; who doesn’t like listening to “Marvin’s Room” and crying a little into their wine?

But once he suggests massaging each other or anything that makes you feel truly suspicious, then you’ve got a problem and you should let the homie know right away.

It’s hella sweet that you’re actively working to make your bestie’s BF feel accepted, but never forget to keep an eye out for anything that would reveal him to be an unworthy son of a [expletive], right? That’s what best friends are for.

—Dr. Date

The crowd’s chant — “United for Philando” — reverberated as pallbearers lifted Philando Castile’s casket onto a horse-drawn carriage Thursday.

The Cathedral of Saint Paul, which typically seats 3,000, filled quickly; the overcast, rainy day did little to deter the nearly 2,000 attendees from pouring in. By the time the service started, pews were full, and many were forced to stand.

Saint Paul Cathedral rector Rev. John Ubel and Rev. Steve Daniels, Sr., from Shiloh Missionar y Baptist Church led the ser vice, which began with a call to hug those nearby and led into a poem read by Castile’s aunt, remarks from his uncle and music from the award-winning musical group Sounds of Blackness.

The ser vice was meant to be largely positive and focused on celebrating Castile’s life.

Members of Sounds of Blackness said Castile “looked like royalty” after addressing reports that Castile resembled a robbery suspect.

Castile, 32, was killed on July 6 in Falcon Heights — a suburb of St. Paul — by a police officer one day after another black man, Alton

Sterling, was shot by police in Louisiana.

Castile and Sterling’s deaths have ignited a wave of protests nationwide over law enforcement’s use of force and their relation with minorities.

While rallies and protests appeared throughout the Twin Cities during the week following Castile’s death, his mother requested that peace and reconciliation be the focus Thursday to honor her son.

The ser vice dr ew a mixed crowd of loved ones, concer ned citizens and prominent Minnesota politicians, like Gov. Mark Dayton, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison and U.S. Sen. Al Franken.

“I’m just amazed by how many people care about Philando,” said Castile’s uncle, Clarence Castile. “The rest of the day is gonna be about love.”

Daniels spoke at length about Castile and what he meant to the Black community. He described Castile as “the face of the [Black Lives Matter movement].”

He also addressed what he considered misconceptions about the movement, saying it was about respect and inciting change.

“We can’t continue to survive if things don’t change,” Daniels said.

wore shir ts that had the prominent hashtag #PhilandoCastile on them, others with “Rest in Peace Philando” emblazoned on the front.

Patricia Mergens, who was in attendance, said she worked for St. Paul Public Schools as the nutrition coordinator before she retired.

She recalled hiring Castile and said it is “almost indescribable” to talk about him.

“I know [Castile] to be a person with love and compassion for kids,” she said.

“It’s a huge loss for St. Paul schools.”

Former television judge Glenda Hatchett, the Castile family’s attorney, said the service was “fitting for a king.”

The St. Paul Police Department had a heavy presence at the event, providing security during the service and chaperoning the horsedrawn carriage that carried Castile’s body to and from the funeral home.

Turkey fires thousands in hunt for coup plotters

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ISTANBUL — Asserting that “all the evidence” points to a U.S.-based Muslim cleric as the mastermind of last week’s failed coup, Turkey’s government on Tuesday fired tens of thousands of teachers, university deans and others accused of ties to the plot and demanded the cleric’s extradition.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan raised the issue in a phone call with U.S. President Barack Obama, and his spokesman said the government was preparing a formal extradition request for the cleric, Fethullah Gulen. But he also suggested that the U.S. government shouldn’t require the facts before extraditing him.

“A person of this kind can easily be extradited on grounds of suspicion,” said the spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin. “And there is ver y strong suspicion for his involvement, for Gulen’s involvement, in this coup attempt. So this is sufficient ground.”

Later, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said that Turkey had submitted materials related to Gulen and the administration was reviewing whether they amounted to a formal extradition request. Earnest added that a decision on whether to extradite would be made under a longstanding treaty between the two countries, and wouldn’t be made by Obama.

The extradition demand is likely to strain U.S.Turkey ties as the Obama administration refers the matter to the Justice Department, which will determine whether the Turkish government has established probable cause that a crime was committed.

Gulen has strongly denied the gover nment’s charges, suggesting that

Friday’s attempted coup could have been staged as a pretext for the Erdogan government to seize even more power.

“It is ridiculous, irresponsible and false to suggest I had anything to do with the horrific failed coup,” the cleric said in a statement on Tuesday, accusing Erdogan of going to “any length necessary to solidify his power and persecute his critics.

“I urge the U.S. government to reject any effort to abuse the extradition process to carr y out political vendettas,” the statement said.

The latest purges were intended to blunt the influence of Gulen, an Erodgan rival who has been in selfimposed exile in Pennsylvania since the late 1990s and who the government has long accused of being behind a “parallel terrorist organization.” They follow earlier aggressive moves by Erdogan’s administration against Gulen loyalists in the government, police and judiciary following corruption probes targeting Erdogan associates and family members in late 2013 — prosecutions the government says were orchestrated by Gulen.

The crackdown was escalated Tuesday, as the government announced the firing of nearly 24,000 teachers and Interior Ministr y employees and demanded the resignations of another 1,577 university deans as well as hundreds of other government employees.

T uesday’s dismissals touched ever y aspect of government life.

Turkish media, in rapidfire reports, said the Education Ministr y had fired 15,200 educators, while the Interior Ministr y dismissed 8,777 employees and T urkey’s Board of Higher Education called for the deans’ resignations.

In addition, 1,500 finance

ministr y employees were fired, 257 people working at the prime minister’s office were sacked and 492 staffers at the Directorate of Religious Af fairs were dismissed, including clerics, preachers and religious teachers.

Tuesday’s firings come on top of roughly 9,000 people who have been detained by the government, including security personnel, judges, prosecutors, religious figures and others.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency says cour ts have ordered 85 generals and admirals jailed pending trial over their roles in the coup attempt. Dozens of others were still being questioned.

Asked about the scale of the purges, U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner cautioned Turkish authorities not to overreach.

“The types of ar rests and roundups that you cite have not gone unnoticed by us,” he said.

Erdogan, meanwhile, indicated the government was considering reinstating the death penalty, a practice abolished in 2004 as par t of Turkey’s bid to join the European Union. Several European officials have said such a move would be the end of Turkey’s attempts to join.

Addressing hundreds of suppor ters outside his Istanbul residence early Tuesday, Erdogan responded to calls for the reintroduction of the death penalty with the simple statement: “You cannot put aside the people’s demands.”

“In a country where our youths are killed with tanks and bombs, if we stay silent, as political people we will be held responsible in the afterlife,” Erdogan said, pointing out that capital punishment exists around the world, including in the United States and China.
