G raffiti Vandals Strike Bryn Maw r

Published by the Bryn Mawr Neighborhood Association September 2014

In the early morning hours ofAugust 12th, a group of youngpersons (described by one per-

son who saw them as 5-6 whitejuveniles who appeared intoxicatedor high, i.e. loud, rowdy, unsteady)spray painted graff i t i on the stre e t sand sidewalks of Bryn Mawr’s Are a6 . Block type letters were sprayed,some covering an area as large as 2by 12 feet. Markings were left onThomas and Cedar Lake Road,T h o m a s and Mt. View, Upton andMt. View, on Cedar Lake Road, andat Sheridan and Cedar Lake Road.The meaning behind the markingswas not clear. Markings includedthe word Bricksquad and the letters

K F. A neighbor who saw theg roup of young persons re m a r k e dthat they looked like a group oflocal kids, but was unaware of theg r a ffiti mess they left behind untilthe next day.

C o n c e rned neighbors who’shomes were directly impacted bythe graffiti contacted Lisa Good-man’s office (city council memberre p resenting Bryn Mawr and also aBryn Mawr resident) for assistancein having the graffiti removed afterl e a rning that the city graffiti re m o v a lp rocess may have taken a month orm o re . The issue was assigned toRuth Weakly from Lisa’s office, andshe was able to expedite the thor-ough removal of all of the markingsas of 8/19. The affected neighborsand all of Bryn Mawr wish to thankRuth and Lisa for such timely con-stituent service.

G r a ffiti is vandalism. Va n d a l i z i n gpublic or private spaces is criminalb e h a v i o r. This act caused alarmand anger to Bryn Mawr neighbors,and resulted in an expense to cleanup that comes out of taxpayer dol-l a r s . If you have any inform a t i o non who may have perpetrated thisact, please contact the MinneapolisPolice through the non-emerg e n c y311 number. Remember that if yousee persons or groups engaging inactivities that may be criminal, call9 1 1 .

From the Editor

First, the obligatory whining,“ w h e re did summer go andhow can a new school year be

starting already?” For the past severalyears, Minneapolis Public Schoolshas started classes a week prior toLabor Day. This year, at least it wasnot unbearably hot and steamy.

I worked throughout the summer,so there was nothing magical aboutthe first Monday of September forme, but even though it is the onething in this life that is almost guar-anteed, the passage of time contin-ues to astound me. Our oldestchild has started medical school,our son just turned 21 (YIKES!) andour youngest is one-quarter the wayto graduation from high school.

In my work with youth and adultenrichment programs, I am alwayslooking for ways to engage studentsin things that will help them shape apositive future. Part of this process isto be reflective, not only on whatclasses and activities I provide, butwhat my life and actions demon-strate through example.

On the first day of school, MPSs t a ff were asked to wear “collegeand career” clothing to remind stu-dents of our commitment to our goalof every student college and care e rready. On Monday, I wore a Univer-sity of Minnesota t-shirt and onWednesday (first day of kinder-garten) I wore a Community Educa-

tion t-shirt that says “Keep Calm andLet the Coordinator Handle It”.

This is my fourth year as a coordi-nator with Minneapolis CommunityEducation and it seems like I amfinally settled in. My brain is prac-ticed enough at things which haveremained consistent, and nimbleenough keep up with all that is new.I don’t head to work, wonderingwhat I need to do and stre s s e dabout how I will get it all done. Ifeel satisfaction in my job because Ithink I do it well and as a result, Iam not constantly correcting my ownmistakes and have time be cre a t i v eand try new things. I also see tangi-ble and intangible evidence that peo-ple appreciate my work and that Iam making a diff e rence. I h a v el e a rned not to take negative feed-back personally and use it as anopportunity to learn and improve.

It’s my job in part to offer learn e r sof all ages something that sparkstheir interest and provides experi-ences and skill development. I f e e lgood about being able to play a ro l ein helping others find happiness inthe moment and for the future .

I don’t have a fancy life, but hereis what I have found works for me.Do what you love, be good at whatyou do, make a diff e rence, andleave room to learn, be creative andg row.

In the process, Sherwooddiscovers the extraordinary in every-day people. Find out how he comesback to reclaim his morning show.

“Although ‘Sunrise Across Ameri-ca’ is fiction,” Stokes emphasized,“the top rated news show is basedon conversations I received fro mmany people who wanted to hearsome good news along with man’sinhumanity to man stories that issupposed to be ‘news.’ Thus, SAAsuccessfully provided the missinguplifting news along with the sameold copycat news to great success.”

“Sunrise Across America” is Copy-right © 2014 by James H. Stokes.The author is a media veteran ofover 50 years combined experience

in broadcasting and journ a l i s m .Accordingly, he has drawn from thisb a c k g round to create in SAA ap robable “what if” adventure - t h r i l l e rscenario of deceit, media exploita-tion, character arc and re t r i b u t i o n .Stokes is currently Contributing Edi-t o r, Sound & Communications, amonthly magazine devoted to AVfor systems integrators, contractorsand consultants.

Bugle Notes B ryn Mawr Resident Jim Stokes W r i t e s

Adventure/Thriller Novel

Because of recent state legisla-tion, individual homeownersand businesses can now be

part of a community solar garden.This is a new kind of garden.Instead of building a solar array ontheir own home or business, anyonein the community can buy shares incommunity solar panels and re c e i v ea deduction in their energy bills.This allows anyone to “go solar”,even if their house sits in the shade.

The Bryn Mawr Neighborh o o dAssociation has joined other Min-

nesota communities in exploringhow this might apply to our neigh-b o rhood. Initial meetings are beingheld with possible developers, andwe are talking with other communi-ties with like interests. The con-tractual arrangement can be compli-cated and model agreements maybe developed at the state level.

Anyone interested in exploring thisidea can contact Claudia Egelhoff at377-3241 or Barry Schade at 377-8152.

BMNAIs There A Solar Garden In Your Future?

The summer of 2014 bro u g h tthe hatch of another healthyb rood of chimney swifts fro m

a nest in the kiosk/tower in theC h i l d ren’s Garden off GlenwoodAvenue. This is the fourth year ina row of successful nesting by swiftsin Theodore Wirth Park.

We were not successful with thenew purple martin house. We spentseveral hours each day in May andJune playing a CD of martin calls toattract the birds to this new locationto no avail. We did acquaint manyyouth and adult visitors to the Chil-d ren’s Garden with facts aboutswifts and martins which was alsoone of our goals.

Though we were not successful inattracting the birds, we know it usu-ally takes several years to populatea new martin house. We will tryagain next year. If we are lucky,you should see these dark, ro b i n -sized birds swooping thro u g h o u tWirth Park next summer.

Both the chimney swifttower/kiosk and the purple martinhouse are joint projects of the BrynMawr Neighborhood Association,the Minneapolis Parks and Recre-ation Board, Minnesota Audubonand the Purple Martin Wo r k i n gG roup of Minnesota. For morei n f o rmation, contact Claudia Egel-h o ff at 612-377-3241.

September 15, 2013 A few monarch butterflies flying south, a tiny num-ber compared to what’s been the norm. M a n yattribute this decline to agricultural use of neoni-cotinoids, chemicals related to nicotine that aren e u rotoxins. Banned in Europe, these chemicalsa re allowed here . B e w a re “neonicotinoid-free” and“bee safe” labels when buying mass-pro d u c e dplants from national chain store s . I n d e p e n d e n tre s e a rch has found that in many cases neonicoti-noids are present despite these labels. It seems tome that monarch numbers have improved slightlyin 2014.

September 22, 2001 2 inches of rain. It’s a good idea to plant spring-flowering bulbs around this time, so they candevelop roots before fre e z e - u p . Plant bulbs point-ed-tip up, about 4 times the depth of the bulbi t s e l f . They like sun. Water them thoroughly inwell-drained soil; consider an inch or two of sand ifyour soil is too heavy. I’ve lost a lot of bulbs by 1)planting them too deep, 2) watering them toomuch, 3) planting them too late, 4) being eaten tothe ground by deer (especially tulips), and 5)removing the foliage too soon after blooming—waituntil it’s good and brown, and you can enjoy themagain next year. Practice makes perf e c t !

Over the years, many peoplein Bryn Mawr have workedto remove buckthorn. Cur-

rently, a group of neighbors isfocusing on Basset’s Creek Park inA rea 7. But maybe you wonder whyw e ’ re doing this! We asked neighborLiz Anderson to answer some ques-tions. Her responses are based onWelby R. Smith’s Trees and Shrubsof Minnesota, University of Minneso-ta Press, 2008.What is buckthorn? Common buckthorn was brought toNorth America from its native Euro p esometime prior to 1850. It wasintended for use as a hedge plant,but it proved to be extremely inva-sive and quickly escaped into thewild. It has been in Minnesota sinceat least the 1930s, possibly earlier,and has now spread over most of thestate. Minnesota law classifies it as arestricted noxious weed that cannotbe sold or transported in the state.Why is it a problem? B u c k t h o rn has no natural biologicalc o n t rols on this continent, whichmeans it lacks the complex interre l a-tionships that develop over manycenturies among the plants, insects,and wildlife in a particular locale,and that keep these groups in bal-ance. Buckthorn grows quickly inthe open, in brushy habitats, and inwoodlands. It can form nearlyimpenetrable thickets in forests. In a city, green spaces have great va l u e .Bu c k t h o rn is indeed green, so why is itsv i g o rous growth a pro b l e m ?1. It reduces diversity. Buckthorneasily outcompetes native shrubs forlight and moisture, so that it gre a t l yreduces the abundance and diversityof plants in a locale. Fewer varietiesof native plants and shrubs supportfewer varieties of insects, birds, andother wildlife.2. It significantly alters the experi-ence of taking a walk in the woods.“ Walking in the woods” comes tomean walking on a path betweene n c roaching thickets. Wo o d l a n d sinfested with buckthorn are nolonger places to be explored andplayed in—for children or adults—because buckthorn thickets make itvirtually impossible to get into —oreven see into—the woods.What does it look like? B u c k t h o rn ranges from smallseedlings to bushy shrubs to smallt rees (up to 35 feet high). It’s mosteasily identified in the fall, when itsleaves stay dark green and remain onthe shrubs long after all other leaveshave fallen. Visit our Facebook page

to view photos of buckthorn: f a c e b o o k . c o m / b u c k t h o rn b e g o n e(And Like or Follow our page tokeep in touch.)How is it re m oved? Small seedlings (less than 1 inch indiameter) can be pulled by hand. Avery sturdy tool, a “weed wrench” isused to mechanically uproot larg e rshrubs. The largest trees must be cutand the stumps treated with herbi-cides (by Park Board staff only).

How can I help? Here are twoways to help restore BassettsCreek Pa r k :

1. Come to the weekend event thisfall, Sat-Sun, October 11-12, 1:00-4:00. We’ll have plenty of weedw renches that will allow you to pullb u c k t h o rn taller than you are, andwe’ll teach you how to use them.Come for as much or as little timeas you have. Wear appro p r i a t eshoes and clothes that can get dirty,and bring gloves. Meet at the woodson Chestnut, between Upton andVi n c e n t .2. We have several weed wre n c h e savailable for you to use anytime,h e re in the neighborhood. Borro wone from Liz, 612-834-1189, lizannanderson@gmail.com, or Gary and Leni, 612-374-4171, m o rgang51@gmail.com, when youget the urge to be in the woods andpull some buckthorn on your own.

Note: Our group exists in partner-ship with Minneapolis Park Board’sE n v i ronmental Stewardship Vo l u n-teer Program. Neighbors re m o v esmall to medium-sized buckthorn byhand or with weed wrenches. ParkBoard staff haul it away. Park Boards t a ff also cut, treat, and remove thel a rgest buckthorn .

Th e re are great views of LakeMinnetonka from 6Smith.This restaurant has been

reviewed in the Strib a few times;online reviews are everywhere .Although reviews were mixed, weheaded out to give it a try on aWednesday night, hoping to beat theweekend crowds. The downstairspatio was full, so we ended up onthe upper rooftop, which has a dif-f e rent menu than either the re s t a u-rant or the patio. The views werewhat you’d hope for. Since the wakelimit was still on, the scene wasquiet; there were sailboats to watchand a few motor boats putteringa round. Great people watching, too.

The décor on the rooftop wasa u s t e re. Our high-topped table wasmade of warped pieces of plywoodc o v e red in black vinyl cloth pinned

down with large black binder clips.And this in a chi chi restaurant! Themetal tractor seat bar stools contin-ued the feel. With the umbre l l astand interfering with traffic pattern s ,you felt like you were at an industri-al site.

It wasn’t noisy and our waiterwas attentive. We shared grilledSkuna bay salmon salad with fennel,lobster guacamole ($16!), hickorysmoked chicken wings, and stickybalsamic glazed ribs. Everythingwas tasty, especially the salad andguac. We liked the ribs but agre e dthat the Lake and Irving small plateof ribs is more flavorful.

The cocktail menu has been get-ting a lot of attention. We stuck towine and G&Ts. It’s hard not to behappy with a glass of wine, a biteof lobster, and a view of sailboatson Lake Minnetonka.

Tuesdays at 7:30 p. m .

All interested people areinvited to attend.

At DAP, they know how toend the cycle of abuse. Theyseek to permanently bre a k

the inter-generational cycle of familyviolence by leading societal changeand by providing men, women andc h i l d ren with essential tools neededto eliminate violence in their lives.

DAP Advocacy supports victimsas they navigate the legal system,and connects them to re s o u rces avictim often needs in their momentsof crisis.

DAP Therapy is for men, womenand children who are at a place intheir lives when they can make re a lchanges in their behaviors. In 1979,DAP was the first organization inMN to offer a therapy program formen who use abuse in their intimatere l a t i o n s h i p s . Since then, DAP hasworked to not only heal but to pre-vent – as their work with children istruly pre v e n t a t i v e . Without inter-vention, children who witnessdomestic violence are 64% morelikely to grow up to be abusers orv i c t i m s .

Working with the criminal justicesystem, public policy makers, andother community agencies, DAPstrives to open the conversationa round domestic abuse in order tolead societal change.

“What did you learn from yourexperience at Domestic Abuse Pro-ject? “ Tracy, a DAP child therapistasked 8-year old Peter. “That I mat-ter in this world,” he replied.

That’s what happens at DAP. Peo-ple discover that they matter.

On Tuesday, October 14, 2014,DAP will host their annual Tr a n s-f o rming Families fundraising lunch-eon at the Earle Brown HeritageC e n t e r. The event is free; all guestswill be invited to make a contribu-tion. The lunch starts promptly atnoon and is over by 1:00 PM.
