Faith leaders protest payday loan practices

BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Carrying hand-made signs
with Bible verses or simply
stop payday lending written
across them, dozens of pastors,
clergymen, and other members
of the inter-faith organization
ISAIAH descended on a Robbinsdale US Bank branch and
a nearby Payday America location on Oct. 8 to protest the
practice of payday loans.
For too long the financial
industry has preyed on the
poor, making huge profits and
leaving people stuck in pover-

ty, said Pastor Paul Slack of

New Creation Church in Minneapolis. This needs to end
and it needs to end today.
Slack said demonstrators,
one of whom characterized
the lending practice as modern day slavery, wanted three
things: the payday lending industry to be regulated via a cap
on interest rates of 36 percent;
US Bank and other institutions to offer fair and accessible short-term loans; and to
point out how unfair the current payday lending industry is.
To that end, the demonstrators marched from ELIM

Lutheran Church in Robbinsdale to a US Bank branch on

the other side of 40th Avenue
North, singing This Little
Light of Mine as they went.
They intended to present employees there with a report
called Payday Greed: How
Banks and Payday Lenders
Profit from Minnesotans in
Need, which outlines the issues and concerns ISAIAH has
with the short-term lending industry.
An average of 300 percent
interest rates have to be paid
back, Slack said. That presents
impossible-to-pay-back

loans, so they get stuck in a

cycle of debt and indebtedness
and cant find the peace they
were seeking when they first
took out the loan to just be
able to get by.
When demonstrators arrived
at the bank, a stone-faced security guard stood behind
a locked door, denying any
chance to enter. Slack and other ISAIAH organizers looped
around the side of the building and stuffed a copy of the
report into one of the banks
pneumatic delivery tubes while
other demonstrators cheered.
Payday loan is a general

term for a short-term, high-interest loan catered to consumers who need or want money
between regular paychecks.
Typically, a borrower is required to pay back the loan
within 14 days - when their
next paycheck arrives. Payday
America representatives said
the companys services help
customers address medical
emergencies, repair a car on
short notice, or cover house
payments during a financially
challenging month.

light rail tracks in Robbinsdale. Project planners asked for public input before deciding whether to close the crossing or leave it
open for vehicle and pedestrian trafc to cross at the same level as the trains themselves. A recommendation is expected to be
presented at a Corridor Management Committee meeting at the end of October. (Sun Post staff photo by Joe Bowen)

Closed or open? Robbinsdale considers

light rail crossing at 39 1/2 Avenue
Light rail planners to recommend an option later in October
BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
The Blue Line Extension light rail project is
seeking public input before taking another incremental step forward in
Robbinsdale.
Project planners solicited resident opinions on
the intersection of the
proposed line and 39 1/2

Avenue North in that city

at an Oct. 7 open house.
The residential road could
either cross the tracks towards downtown Robbinsdale at the same level
at grade as the tracks
or be closed entirely.
The city does not have
an official position on
the intersection options,
which is why the city
helped organize the open

house, where city officials

and project planners collected opinions from residents.
The two trending
thoughts are not surprising, said City Manager
Marcia Glick. One is
from people who live very
near to the intersection
and crossing, who are concerned that when the light
rail is added to the corri-

dor that the crossing arms

will be going up and down
with a great frequency,
and theyll be listening to
bells all day long. They
would like to see that intersection closed even
though it would be an inconvenience in having to
go around. Other people
enjoy the convenience of

The Crystal Police

Department is asking
for the publics help in
locating Delano Joseph
Williams, a 51-year-old
vulnerable adult who
lives in a group home in
Crystal.
Williams is described
as 6 feet 1 inch tall and
160 pounds. He was last
seen wearing a black
baseball
cap,
black
windbreaker pants, a
blue windbreaker jacket
and a gray sweatshirt underneath the jacket.
He was seen near the
12900 block of 63rd
Avenue in Maple Grove
on Oct. 1 and has since
been noticed by employees at homeless shelters
in Minneapolis, where
Crystal police had circulated information about
Williams.
We feel relieved that

Delano Joseph Williams.

(Submitted photo)
it seems like hes OK,
Lt. Doug Leslin said,
adding that it is pretty
common for group
home residents to walk
away.
Anyone who has seen
Williams is asked to call
the police via Hennepin
County Dispatch: 952258-5321 or 911.

of a Hall of Famer series,

wherein he spoke with
Neill students - and others from New Jersey and
Arizona who teleconferenced in - about character,
leadership, and achieving
success.
I mainly talked about
what characters made up
of, McDaniel said. His
talk covered topics like
integrity, respect, courage,
commitment, and excellence, he added, prompting one student to ask the
towering pro-bowl guard
which area he felt he was
weakest in.
I chose excellence
because every day, youre
always trying to get better. ... And no one ever
has perfection, McDaniel said. Thats the good
part, youre always working towards something,
you always have a goal.

Hall of Famer and longtime Vikings offensive

lineman Randall McDaniel got into teaching long
before his retirement in
2001.
I always knew I wanted
to work with kids, McDaniel said. A chance
meeting with a former
teacher led to his first
classroom experience in
1993, and he took a job as
an educational assistant at
Robbinsdale Area Schools
after his last season of
professional
football.
Hes worked with kids at
Lakeview and Forest elementaries in the West
Metro, a special education
department at Hilltop Primary school in Minnetrista, and now works at Neill
Elementary in Crystal.

Robbinsdale Area Schools preliminary levy

up 2.59 percent, set at $58.25 million total
Truth in Taxation hearing scheduled Nov. 30
BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
The Robbinsdale Area School
Board approved the maximum
allowable preliminary tax levy
at its regular meeting on Sept.
28.
The $58.25 million levy can
be reduced prior to a statemandated December deadline,
but cannot be increased. It is set
to be assessed on property taxes
payable in 2016 and represents
a 2.59 percent increase from last
years final levy.
The Minnesota Department
of Education calculates the

maximum allowable level for

each school district, and taxes
collected from the final levy
would fund the Robbinsdale
districts 2016-17 school year.
In all, about 25 percent of the
districts revenue comes from
property taxes, Executive Director of Business Services Jeff
Priess told the school board
prior to their vote.
Of those property taxes,
51.34 percent are levied for the
districts general fund, 13.14
percent for its capital expenditures fund and 32.52 percent for
its debt service fund. A smaller
portion goes toward the dis-

tricts community education

fund.
Major changes are a $1.2 million increase in the lease levies
that flow to the capital expenditures fund and a $683,000
increase in the debt service levy,
Priess told the board. Funds
from both will pay for the districts long-range facilities plan,
part of which was approved at
the same Sept. 28 meeting.
In all, the district estimates
that the total preliminary levy
would result in an additional
$56.70 in property taxes for a
home valued at $200,000, assuming a 3.86 percent increase

a number that comes from

Hennepin County in district
market value. Assuming no increase in value, that same home
would see an increase of $8.72.
Priess said the average preliminary levy increase, statewide, is
3.9 percent, citing department
Department of Education data.
Osseo Area Schools set its
2016 levy at the maximum as
well, which is slightly less than
2015s $84 million levy.
The Wayzata school districts
preliminary increase for 2016 is
2.95 percent. Last year, a final
increase for 2015 was approved
at 12 percent, but the majority

of that was due to a $109 million bond referendum that voters approved to build a new elementary school and add to the
high school.
A Truth in Taxation hearing

Education Briefs
400 elementary
students to
receive free books
More than 400 students
in kindergarten through
second grade at Neill
Elementary School will
be receiving free books
thanks to a partnership
between the Robbinsdale
Federation of Teachers
and First Book, a national nonprofit providing access to new books for kids
in need.
According to organizers, this First Book
event is the first of its
kind in Robbinsdale Area
Schools. Each of the K-2
teachers at Neill had
to register on the First
Book website and choose
a book for each of their
students. The American
Federation of Teachers
National Union is matching with a second book
for each child.
One book is for the students to take home and
use of the second book is
up to each teacher (keep
in classroom, complete
set to use for a reading
lesson or send home).
The students will receive
the books during an event
at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday,
Oct. 14. Union representatives will present the
students with bookmarks,
and the teachers will give
students the actual books
when they return to classrooms.
Robbinsdale
Federation of Teachers Assistant President Karen
Krussow said that Neill
was chosen not only because it is a Title school (a
criteria for the event), but
also because it has a new
principal this year, Kelly
Corbett. Corbett and
new Robbinsdale Area
Schools Supt. Carlton D.
Jenkins will each read a
book to the students during the event on Oct. 14.
It has been a goal of
mine with the help of the
Robbinsdale Federation
of Teachers, to set up a
First Book event in our
district, Krussow said.
As a union of educators,
we want to promote a
lifelong love of reading in

our students. I hope this

will be the first of many
First Book events for our
students.

Shoreline buffer law a good start to protect state waters

Gov. Mark Dayton surprised
a lot of people, including his
cabinet, when he announced in
January his intent to advance
a legislative initiative for major
changes to the requirements
and enforcement of Minnesotas shoreline restrictions.
As the governor correctly
pointed out, the states shoreline laws, which were designed
to be implemented and enforced
by counties, cities and other local governments, were frequently confusing in their application
and largely unenforced. The
governor espoused a uniform
50-foot buffer of perennial vegetation on all lakes, rivers and
streams to be enforced by the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources. He argued that
the beauty of his proposal was
in its simplicity.
There had been two prominent calls for new buffer regulations just prior to the governors
unexpected announcement. The
first came from the states Clean
Water Council, whose members
are largely appointed by the

Our viewpoint
governor. The council, in its December 2014 report to the Minnesota Legislature, observed ...
buffers of perennial grasses and
vegetation can reduce sediment,
phosphorous and nitrogen significantly. It recommended
that the state do more to see
that buffers along public waters
and ditches be maintained.
Also in December, the participants in the Governors
Pheasant Summit, who had assembled in response to a rapidly
declining pheasant habitat and
population in Minnesota, identified as a top priority the need
for establishment and enforcement of shoreline and ditch
buffers.
Science has long demonstrated the benefits of vegetative
buffers to water quality, aquatic
habitat and wildlife. They serve
to reduce and slow surface water runoff, which holds more
soil on the land and out of the
water body; they retain and

filter pollutants; they stabilize

banks and reduce erosion and
they reduce nutrient loading in
the water body through plant
uptake.
Gov. Dayton is to be commended for raising this issue to
the visibility it deserves. While
the Legislature did give the buffer initiative considerable attention this past session, many
were surprised that something
this complex and controversial
resulted in enactment of new
law less than five months after
the initiative was announced.
It was not, however, as simple
nor as uniform as the governor
proposed; nor is it to be uniformly enforced by the DNR,
but rather still locally enforced.
The new buffer law provides
that the DNR is to map all the
covered water bodies, which include lakes, rivers and streams,
public ditches and private ditches that flow into public ditches.
All the riparian lands on lakes,
rivers and streams will be required to have buffers averaging
50 feet, with 30-foot minimums.

Ditches will be required to have

16.5-foot buffers on either side.
There are exceptions for agricultural properties if approved
by the state Board of Water and
Soil Resources as meeting certain criteria.
The DNR will supply maps
to the county Soil and Water
Conservation Districts. The
SWCDs will follow through
with the counties, cities and
other local governments having jurisdiction. The SWCDs
have the responsibility to assure compliance and issue
fines.
The state Board of Soil and
Water Resources is tasked with
oversight of the SWCDs and
can withhold state funds from
any SWCD not performing its
responsibilities. Required buffers are to be in place on public waters by Nov. 1, 2017, and
ditches by Nov. 1, 2018.
Cynics observe that we have
had very poor compliance with
buffer laws that have been in
effect for decades in large part
because they were entirely de-

pendent on local implementation and local enforcement;

now we have a new law largely
dependent on local implementation and local enforcement.
They ask why we should expect
different outcomes.
We are more hopeful. Gov.
Dayton clearly has raised the
awareness of the importance
of buffers for improving water quality. The legislature has
responded and reinforced that
importance.
Now it will be up to those
local governments to follow
through and see that the buffer
requirements are implemented
and enforced. Most importantly, it will be up to all of us
to hold our governments at all
levels accountable. The health
of our waters, now and in the
future, depend on it.

Sound scal
decisions in Crystal
The September 17 and 24 issues of the Sun Post contained
articles with quotes from Crystals Mayor Adams making a
case for his version of sound
fiscal decisions. His statements
are in reference to the decision
made by six of the seven Council members to pay for the Public
Works (PW) building with cash
from Crystals reserve accounts.
The (non-unanimous) decision to spend $10 million dollars for the new Public Works
building (with $3 to $4 million
yet unpaid) puts taxpayers on
a path of increased taxes, costly
deferred maintenance (if maintenance is always deferring, it
costs more to repair or replace)
and decreased services.
Mayor Adams states that at a
simplified level it was essentially
the difference between using
money in our savings account
or putting the building on our
credit card and paying finance
charges. Simply put, that is an
outrageous statement made by a
politician who believes in wealth
redistribution. Mayor Adams
is basically robbing future projects to pay for current projects,
a dangerous way to handle tax
payer dollars or manage city finances.
The recent water rate increase
is an example of what happens
when reserves are spent. This
Council wiped out reserve accounts creating a need for a new
money source to repair the water main; they chose to raise the
water utility rate, a form of a tax
increase.
We as tax payers had already
saved the money to pay for the
water main repair and that money was in the reserve account. By
spending the reserve account on
something else and increasing
the water rate, the Council double taxed us. I dont find that to
be a fiscally sound decision.
The Councils job is to maintain Crystals financial security
for taxpayers. To ignore bonding
as a financial management tool
penalized Crystal homeowners
because todays home owner will
never see a return on this invest-

ment and our taxes and fees will

continue to rise. Fifty years of
building financial strength using
very conservative financial management strategies are gone with
the swipe of a pen.
The raiding of city reserves
with a spend it all today attitude is a wealth redistribution action at best and at worst
weakens the financial strength
of the city of Crystal. Crystal
has never bonded to pay operational expenses such salaries,
utilities, etc. Bonding is done as
part of long-term financial planning to spread the cost of multimillion dollar projects across the
projected lifetimes of an asset.
This payment method ensures
every homeowner pays their
share whether they live here for
one year or fifty. This method
keeps taxes stable and fair for all
citizens over time. The method
adopted forces current residents
to pay for everything today and
residents of the future get it for
free. It is not a fair way to spend
tax dollars.
Mayor Adamss sound fiscal
decisions do not include rebuilding reserve funds (his version of a savings account) and
he views the various accounts as
a big ol pot of cash they plan to
spend without sufficient public
discussion. He makes no mention of the income lost from reserve funds.
City finances are complex
but not complicated. The reserves are income producing
accounts and this income pays
for improvements and repairs.
The pool of money referred to
by Adams should never be spent
because the citys only income
producing asset will be gone,
creating income loss. As reserve
funds are spent, citizens will see

True stories about wonderful

Reading the book Once

Upon a Town can do several
things for you. You will learn
about a remarkable but little
known, true World War II story
that will fill you with gratitude
and perhaps, amazement. Its
a tribute to terrific things that
people working together can
do.
You may want to read the
book to or with elementary to
high school age youngsters.
You also may experience a
good cry. I rarely cry as I read
books. But I cried repeatedly as
I read this one tears of appreciation and admiration.

million. Yes, they did this for
every troop train, from early
morning until late at night. The
trains were taking service people to the east or west coast, for
war-time assignments.
Why did the people in and
around North Platte do this?
Greene interviewed women who participated. Lorene
Huebner, 76 when Greene
interviewed, recalled: You
would feel like you had done
something worthwhile, for the
glory of God and for the glory of your nation. She also
explained, It was exciting to
go to North Platte and see the
handsome young sailor boys.
How did the service members
react? Greene interviewed vets
throughout the country who
had stopped in North Platte.

Paul Metro, then 76, told
Greene: I think America

Oct. 8 at Coppereld Hill senior apartments in Robbinsdale. The party featured some small gifts
from the Minnesota Twins, for whom Egge threw out the rst pitch at a game this summer. Born

in the military. She eventually settled in Minnesota, she said, and was a longtime Bloomington
resident. The secret to Egges longevity, she said, is to take one day at a time. (Sun Post staff

Getting serious about groundwater

League of Women Voters hosts talk by DNR professional
BY GINA PURCELL
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Groundwater has become a popular topic
across the United States
as California experiences a severe drought and
South Carolina endures
the aftermath of intense
flooding.
Californias groundwater is at an all-time low.
According to a senior
water scientist at NASA,
California had one years
worth of water stored as
of March 2015.
In South Carolina,
drinking water is now
contaminated following
an October storm that
dropped 26 inches of
rain.
The 11 trillion gallons
of water that fell in North
and South Carolina over
the five-day storm would
have been enough to end
the California drought,
according to NASA.
So, how do some of the
Twin Cities suburbs compare to these drastic situations when it comes to
groundwater?
On. Sept. 24, the Crystal, New Hope, East
Plymouth League of
Women Voters hosted an
event all about groundwater.
Jason Moeckel, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources section
manager for inventory,
monitoring and analysis, shared his knowledge
about groundwater, new
technology and ways to
conserve the resource.
The presentation was
split into three sections.
Trend data: Why is

ground water at risk of

overuse and contamination?
Water laws in Minnesota: How is Minnesota
different from western
states? How does that
play out in terms of how
water is used?
What can be done to
preserve water?
When it comes to
(Minnesotas) water, unlike California, were not
in the emergency room,
we are in the urgency
room, he said. When we
recognize where we are,
were fairly early in the
process to be able to make
subtle shifts and changes
that can really shape the
future.
According to the DNR,
Minnesota uses 300 billion gallons of water every year.
Were using more
groundwater in the state
of Minnesota than ever
before, Moeckel said.
How much more?
Roughly an additional
three billion gallons per
year, according to the
DNR.
In a five-year span,
which equates to 1.5 trillion gallons of water, the
resource is used as follows:
34 percent is used for
crop irrigation.
53 percent goes to water supply systems.
8 percent goes to industrial processing.
5 percent is for other
uses.
A tiny fraction is
utilized for power generation.
Of the water that is distributed to businesses and

homes, roughly one-third

is used outside the home
urban irrigation as
Moeckel likes to call it.
This includes watering
lawns, parks, ball fields
and other green spaces.
According to Moeckel,
every county in the state
is relying on a city for
ground water supplies.
So, what is the risk of
overuse or contamination?
The DNR is tasked with
evaluating rivers, streams,
wetlands and surface water features throughout
the state to determine
their condition.
According to Moeckel,
agricultural irrigation is
on the rise despite only 3
percent of the cropland in
the state being irrigated.
Chloride is also on the
rise, showing up in our
groundwater more and
more. When levels reach
250 milliliters of chloride per liter of water, it
becomes toxic to wildlife
such as insects and fish,
according to the DNR.
If that level of chloride
is found in the groundwater that means levels
are even higher in surface
water.
Issues for people occur when excessive nitrate
levels enter groundwater.
Ever heard of blue baby
syndrome?
If you have high nitrates in your water
supply, those nitrates
interfere with the hemoglobins ability to carry
oxygen, therefore the
body is starved of oxygen, Moeckel said.
Anything more than
10 milligrams of nitrates

per liter of water is considered a health risk.

Although many adults
could handle such levels of nitrate, babies and
pregnant women should
not consume such water.
The single biggest
source of that nitrate is
agricultural fertilizer.
Sometimes, rain and
fertilizer do not make a
great mix. On farmland,
fertilizer nitrates can
leach into groundwater
after a heavy rain, and
despite weather forecasts, there is no way to
accurately predict a rain
showers timing or duration.
If a half-inch of rain
falls, the soil will absorb
that rain and the plants
will absorb the nitrates
necessary for growth.
If two or three inches
of rain falls, plants and
soil usually cannot absorb all of the nitrates,
some of which infiltrate
the shallow groundwater.
When nitrates breach
community water supply,
treatment is expensive.
Ultimately, the increased
nitrate filtration cost is
passed to consumers.
According to Moeckel,
the Department of Agriculture is tasked with
wrestling that problem.
The department has a
nitrogen fertilizer management plan, and other
efforts are in the works to
help minimize nitrates in
the water supply.
As for laws to manage
water usage, Minnesota
statutes permit one person to have up to one million gallons per year.
If more than one mil-

lion gallons is needed, the

DNR has to determine
the sources availability,
sustainability and where
to fit that additional need
in the priority system.
Domestic water supply
is the highest priority in
the state. Agricultural irrigation and industrial
processing are in the middle.
Guess
where
car
washes and lawn-watering fall? Moeckel asked.
At the bottom. Lowest
priority.
While residents may
have minimal questions
and concerns when using
water, the DNR has several.
The DNR asks:
Will that cone of depression, a decrease in
surrounding
groundwater levels because of
nearby use, cause somebodys private well to be
out of water?
Will it cause contaminants to migrate into that
well and make it so it is
not safe to drink?
Will it pull water from
that river, stream or wetland in such a way that it
will affect it negatively?
Tasked with evaluating thousands of cones
of depression throughout the state, the job can
become complicated very
quickly, according to
Moeckel.
In the past, 90 percent
of the metro relied on the
Mississippi River for its
water supply. Today, that
number has been reduced
to 70 percent. The remaining 30 percent relies
on groundwater.
But the question remains, is groundwater
sustainable?
Groundwater
levels

and usage fluctuate from

home to home, neighborhood to neighborhood,
state to state.
Moeckel said older
communities
typically
use less water because
their mature trees provide
shade, which reduces the
lawn-watering need.
With young sod and
trees, new development
communities use much
more water than established communities.
According to the city
of Minneapolis, an average Minneapolis resident
uses 60-70 gallons of water per day. Moeckel said
the average consumption
rate has been declining.
Moeckel said his familys daily use is lower
than average, but he did
not claim to be perfect.
They use 44,000 gallons per year, or 30 gallons per person, per day.
We dont do anything
remarkable, he said. All
we do is we dont use our
garden hose other than to
let the kids run through it
every once in a while or
fill a little pool.
The Moeckel family
waters its garden using
rain barrels and let the
grass get brown if it does
not rain.
With an estimated
800,000 additional residents in the metro in the
next 25 years, water preservation will be key.
For now, the DNR has
$6 million more per year
in its budget to help with
this type of research and
work. Minnesotas water
supply is reaching a higher ranking of priority.

Working toward a compromise

Lawmakers share outlook for
transportation bill in 2016
BY DEREK BARTOS
SUN SAILOR NEWSPAPERS
While the state legislature failed to approve
a transportation bill this
year, committee leaders
are optimistic a deal will
get done next session.
Sen. Scott Dibble, DFLMinneapolis, and Rep.
Tim Kelly, R-Red Wing,
discussed the outlook Oct.
9 at a TwinWest Chamber
of Commerce Legislative
Breakfast series event at
the DoubleTree hotel in
St. Louis Park. Dibble
serves as chair of the Senate Transportation and
Public Safety Committee,
and Kelly is the chair of
the House Transportation
Policy and Finance Committee.
I am extremely optimistic with the position
were in right now, Kelly
said. We will have a transportation bill this year.
He said both sides simply ran out of time before
the end of the session.
However, it is still important for the legislature to
make transportation the
top priority next year, especially considering much

of the focus will be on the

tax bill, he said.
We have to keep the
pressure on otherwise
it does get pushed off,
Kelly said.
Last session, the Senate
introduced a 10-year plan
totaling $10.7 billion that
contained a 6.5 percent
gross receipts fuel tax, a
three-quarter cent increase
in the metro transit tax
and $387 million from the
general fund over 10 years.
The House bill, also a
10-year plan, would use $7
billion and would not raise
taxes. It calls for using
$228 million of the surplus and $3 billion from
the general fund.
Both the House and
Senate passed their respective plans, which now sit
in conference committee
ready to be taken up as
soon as the next session
begins March 2016.
Discussing the primary
differences in the two proposals, Kelly defended the
Houses plan to use more
money from the general
fund.
What were proposing
is something we feel is a
little more stable, he said.

Chamber of Commerce Legislative Breakfast series event Oct. 9 in St. Louis Park. Sen. Scott
Dibble, left, was Kellys counterpart for the discussion. (Sun Sailor photo by Derek Bartos)
The House plan repurposes existing sales taxes
on auto parts and leased
and rental cars and builds
into it an inflationary index, Kelly said. This adds
more stability than fuel
tax income, he said, which
would likely fluctuate
more based on consumer
actions.
What were finding is
that when were looking at
$4 gas, an individual tries
to get better economy out
their vehicles they drive
less, Kelly said. We actually have a decrease in

funding then for transportation.

Dibble said an issue with
depending on the general
fund that far down the
road is that it is unknown
if the funding will still be
there.
Or would those dollars vanish into thin air as
soon as there is any stress
on our economy and
stress on our general fund
budget? he asked.
Dibble said general
fund money could be used
for the plans, but more
discussion is needed to fig-

the issue at the top of his

priorities and is also motivated to reach a deal.
That was true coming
into the last session, and
he got a little caught up
on the dynamics of others
like early childhood education, and we ran out of
time, Dibble said.
Added Kelly, I think
one of the things weve
learned over the past year
is we need to be engaged a
little more right away. One
of the things we failed
to do was come together
more often.
He said it is vital that
both sides speak to the
governors staff more frequently.
We need to be committed to having those conversations so we dont run
out of time, Kelly said.
Both lawmakers said
they are looking forward
to negotiations.
The question really is,
Do we all believe a comprehensive
transportation bill is important to
achieve? Dibble asked.
If the answer is yes,
well figure something out,
and there will be compromise.

ure out how to allocate it.

Regarding the use of
surplus money, Kelly said
the state shouldnt be
afraid to use it on transportation if it truly believes it to be a priority.
Dibble agreed that surplus funds could be utilized for one-time expenses, but they should not be
used for ongoing expenses.
When asked how Gov.
Mark Daytons stance will
impact the outlook of the
transportation bill, Dibble Contact Derek Bartos at
said he believes the gov- derek.bartos@ecm-inc.

ing of the projects Corridor Management Committee, meaning roadway

traffic will cross at the
same level as the tracks,
rather than by having one
or the other use a bridge
or a tunnel.
Troy Rachey lives on
nearby Noble Avenue
North and was one of the
first to show up to the Oct.
7 open house. Rachey said
he was in favor of keeping
the intersection open because nearby schools, like
Lakeview
Elementary,
use the crossing for their

school bus routes.

I think it would take
the routes a lot longer,
to have to get on and off
more major roads and not
being able to cut through
there, he said. Its kind
of a shortcut to downtown.
Robbinsdale
Mayor
Regan Murphy also lives
within a few blocks of the
intersection, and said he
erred on the side of keeping the crossing open because a closure would be
permanent.
Its kind of a tough

one, he said. The people

that live around it want it
closed, and I dont blame
them. The rest of Robbinsdale kind of wants to
keep it open.
Nick Landwer, the
projects director of engineering, said it would be
a little more expensive
to keep the intersection
open instead of closing
it because of the infrastructure that would need
to be installed at the intersection: lights, traffic
arms, and other quiet
zone necessities. Keep-

ing the intersection open

was included in the projects total cost, which has
been estimated at $1 billion, and a new estimate
is expected in November.
Regardless, the price difference between the two
options is relatively small,
Landwer added.
The management committee is scheduled to
make a recommendation
on the crossing later in
October.

Jason Besler of Schechter Dokken Kanter CPAs,

He also introduced Wayne

Estate Strategies as the
2015-16 foundation board
chair.
Since 1982, the founda-

tion has awarded more

than $1 million in grants
and student scholarships.
During the past year,
the foundation awarded
$38,000 in scholarships to
30 graduating high school
seniors through its traditional high school scholarship program, Besler said.
Additionally, $19,000 was
awarded to 24 adult students going back to school
to enhance their training
and education through the
Career Path Scholarship

Program.
The foundation is extremely grateful for the
many TwinWest member
businesses and individuals
that contributed in 2014
and 2015, Besler said.
Taylor Parker-Greene,
a 2015 Career Path Scholarship recipient, shared
her thoughts about the
significance of the assistance. Parker-Greene is
an architecture student at
the Dunwoody College of
Technology and is plan-

ning to pursue a bachelors

degree after she graduates
this spring.
She said the scholarship
has helped in a variety of
ways and has allowed her
to work less during the academic year.
Focusing the majority
of my time on my studies
allows me to achieve outstanding school work while
still being an active member in student organizations and learning handson skills volunteering for

Habitat for Humanity,

Parker-Greene said.
Most importantly, she
added, the funds will allow
her to travel to Africa to
help build a community
the type of work she hopes
will become her specialty
after graduation.
I thank you wholeheartedly for this scholarship, she said. It is truly
an honor.

of the week

Coopers loss to Panthers

less consequential with
No. 2 section seed

Robbinsdale
resident
Colin Woelfle, 36, ran a
time of 3 hours, 19 minutes, 1 second at the Twin
Cities Marathon on Oct. 4.
Woelfle finished in the top
third of the mens 35-39
age division.

Hawks may have chance to avenge

both regular season losses in playoffs

Doug McGrath

Few teams get the opportunity that Cooper has

in the coming week and a
half.
If Class 5A Section 5
playoffs go in favor of the
higher seed in the first two
rounds, the Hawks could
have another shot at the
only teams to beat them in
the regular season. More
fortunately, Cooper (6-2)
managed to draw a No. 2
seed and a bye despite a
49-28 loss to eventual No.
1 seed Spring Lake Park (80) on Friday, Oct. 8. Added
to that, Cooper also fell to
Park Center (6-2) on Sept.
19, which drew a No. 3
seed.
Cooper could see both
of those teams in the section playoffs. The Pirates
opened the playoffs at home
on Tuesday against Minneapolis Southwest. SLP,
like Cooper, has a bye and
doesnt play until Tuesday,
Oct. 20 in the semifinals.
The Panthers get either
Irondale or St. Louis Park
in the semis, both teams the
No. 2-ranked team in Class
5A steamrolled in the regular season.
While Park Center didnt
blowout out Cooper in
their last meeting (21-16),
SLP did. The Hawks saw
little change in a matchup
with the Panthers on Oct.
9 that has been owned by
SLP since 2004.
Cooper wound up on the
losing end by three or more
touchdowns to the Panthers for a fourth-straight
meeting on Oct. 9 in the 4928 defeat. The Hawks had
to dig out of a quick 14-0
hole and could never claw
all the way back.
Just to be real, one team
showed up and one team
didnt, Hawks coach Willie Howard said.
After allowing no more
than 27 points in a game all
season, Coopers defense
looked porous as the No.

Doug McGrath, 26, of

Robbinsdale clocked a
3-hour, 44-minute, 5-second time at the Twin Cities Marathon on Oct. 4.
McGrath placed in the top
half of the mens 22-29 age
group.

Morin, 34, finished the
Twin Cities Marathon in
3 hours, 49 minutes, 47
seconds on Oct. 4. Morin
finished in the top third of

Andrew Johnson
Finishing in the top
half of his age division,
Andrew Johnson of New
Hope clocked a time of 3
hours, 55 minutes, 3 seconds in the Twin Cities

among 894 runners in the
mens 22-29 age division.

Cameron Berg
Cameron Berg, 32, of

Home playoff game awaits Falcons after big turnaround

Falcons have
best record
since 2004
BY MATTHEW DAVIS
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Armstrong High football players will not board
a bus this week for the
playoffs for the first time in
eleven years.
As the No. 4 seed from
Class 6A Section 6, the
Falcons (6-2) will host
No. 5 seed Woodbury (62) from Section 4 on at 7
p.m. Friday, Oct. 16, in
the Plymouth schools first
home playoff contest since
2004. Armstrong will look
for a better result than the
stunning 14-13 home loss
to Osseo that year.
Fortunately,
Woodbury comes in with much
more pedigree than the
1-7 Orioles that ended
the last winning season at
Armstrong until this fall.
Therefore, Falcons have no
reason in the world to look
past a Royals team that has
traveled a similar path to
success this year.
Woodburys
really
good, Falcons coach Jack
Negen said. When you
look at the seeding you
dont see many four and
five times at 6-2. Weve got
a really good test in week

one there.
Woodbury turned things
around after going 1-8 in
2014, a third-consecutive
losing season. Armstrong
can relate with surpassing
its win total of the past
three years in this season
alone.
A deep running attack,
strong passing and a stingy
defense have the Falcons
doubling their 2014 win
total of three. The Falcons
went 4-0 at home alone
and finished 2-2 on the
road after beating Benilde-

St. Margarets 28-7 on Friday, Oct. 9.

The kids have done a
lot things here to make the
community proud, Negen
said.
Nicolas Svensson got
things going for the Falcons with a 52-yard interception return for a
touchdown at 9:36 in the
first quarter of that game.
Collis Barber then cushioned the lead with two TD
passes to Nate Ball for 20
yards and True Thompson
for 13.

Armstrong held a 21-0

lead until the midway
through the third quarter when BSM got on the
board with an 88-yard TD
pass. Thomas came in at
running back and pushed
the lead back to three TDs
in the fourth quarter on
a 2-yard run at the 5:33
mark.
Normally, Thomas has
just come in on short yardage situations for the Falcons since the team has
plenty of personnel to
choose from in carrying

the ball.
Evan McClellon leads
the team in rushing with
609 yards and seven TDs,
many coming on long runs
from the all-state track athlete. BSM had a little bit of
success defending him with
23 yards allowed, but the
Red Knights didnt have as
much of an answer for Isaiah Poster.
The 5-10 junior wide receiver had 51 yards on four
carries. Poster has posed a
threat whenever he has the
ball with 9.4-yard average
rushing the ball and 16.5
yards per catch in addition
to his four TDs.
Amadu Dunbar also has
moved the chains often
from the backfield for the
Falcons this season. Dunbar has 376 yards on the
ground and four TDs, and
he has shown potential to
make plays on passes out
of the backfield.
Success against the Royals this Friday could hinge
on the running game offensively since the Royals give
up 170.6 yards per game.
Throwing the ball poses
more of challenge against
a Woodbury defense that
permits 97.1 yards per contest and has surrendered
four passing TDs all season. Moreover, the Royals
have tough passing attacks
to tangle with in the East

While some teams

around the state benefitted
from the new district football format, some did not.
Just ask Breck.
The Mustangs suffered
their first losing season
since 2012 with a 2-6 finish

The first time Oscar

Johnson-Dorothy picked
up a football, it felt good
in his hands.
And once he started
throwing it, the ball felt
even better.
Oscar, now a senior
at Hopkins High, is the
states passing leader with
2,145 yards in eight games
this season.
In Hopkins Highs West
Coast Offense, Oscar has
a chance to throw the ball
30 times a game, and that
translates into an exciting
style of play. He pushed
his touchdown pass total
for the season to 16 in a
49-32 loss Oct. 9 at Prior
Lake.
Earlier this week, Oscar
talked about his quest to
be the best and how much
he loves playing the game.
First of all, none of
my success would have
happened without my offensive line, my backs and
my receivers, said Oscar.
I also give credit to the
Hopkins fans. Our fan
base is super supportive.
When they go crazy in the
stands, we feed off of that
on the field.
Oscar has been a quarterback since he was a
third-grader, and even
though he is built more
like a linebacker than a
quarterback, he has the

mindset to lead a team.
I enjoy the leadership
that comes with the position, said Oscar. Except
for the Coon Rapids game
[a Hopkins blowout victory], I have taken every snap
this season. We have done
a lot of things right this
season, but weve played a
really tough schedule.
The Royals finished the
regular season 2-6 and will
play Rosemount (7-1) in
the first round of the state
Class 6A playoffs at 7 p.m.
Friday, Oct. 16, at Rosemount.

There have been some

good games for Hopkins
this year, most notably
wins over Coon Rapids
and Shakopee, but also
some disappointments.
If there is one game
Oscar wishes he could do
over again, it would have
to be the Royals 34-28 loss
to arch rival Minnetonka
Oct. 2. His favorite game
was Hopkins home-field
victory over Shakopee because thats when the team
came together and all the
gears meshed. Oscar threw
for 240 yards and two
touchdowns without an
interception in that ballgame.

My receivers run great

routes and the protection
was outstanding, he said.
It was a lot of fun being
part of the Hopkins-Minnetonka game. I only wish
we had won.
Oscar credits Hopkins
head coach John DenHartog with developing not
only his skills, but also his
mental approach.
Coach knows a lot
about the quarterback position, said Oscar.
A long line of All-Lake
Conference quarterbacks
proves the point. Sean

various activities/events surrounding the start of the 2015-16 school
year. Lightfoot also shared the latest
information surrounding staffing ratios/class sizes.
Proposed Tax Levy Payable
2016
John Toop reviewed the initial
proposed property tax levy, noting that it is scheduled to increase
by 5.57% ($2,708,729.44) over last
years levy. (The total initial proposed amount is $51,309,469.64;
last years levy amount was
$48,600,740.20). He stated that
the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) usually does multiple
revisions of the property tax levy
to ensure everything is correct for
school districts, adding that he has
requested additional runs be completed for the Hopkins School District.
Toop then explained that the
General Fund comprises the majority of the increase. Within that
increase, the following items were
noted:
Market Value Referendum levy
is increasing by $1,477.006 due to
an inflationary increase and enrollment projections that are leveling
out instead of declining.
The Capital Projects levy is increasing by $731,818 due to an increase in Net Tax Capacity.
Also:
Community Education portion
of the levy is increasing by 2.27%.
Debt Service Fund levy is increasing by 2.04%.
Toop asked the Board to approve levying the maximum amount
in order to maintain flexibility. He
emphasized that the levy cannot be
increased once the proposed levy
is approved, only decreased if the
Board decides to levy less than the
proposed amount. Toop stated that
although he does not believe there
will be any changes, certifying at
the maximum gives the Board the
authority to increase the levy if levy
re-runs done by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) result
in an increased levy amount.
The Districts Truth & Taxation
hearing is scheduled at 6 p.m. on
Thursday, December 17, 2015 in
the Eisenhower Community Center
Boardroom.

surrounding transgender students,
transportation challenges for students, drop in football participation/
concussion scare, football schedule, Hall of Fame induction, ticket
sales (number of parents and number of students), the new weight
room, and academic fees.
Cooperative Sponsorship
Girls Hockey:
Johnson explained that the
Hopkins and St. Louis Park School
(SLP) Districts are proposing a
cooperative sponsorship of girls
hockey. He stated that the participation numbers in SLP are low, but
believes this is the right thing to do
as Hopkins may find they are in a
comparable situation in the future;
his hope would be for a neighboring
district to help out. He stated that
the team Hopkins Park Royals
will be administered by Hopkins
Athletics to provide high school girls
in both districts the opportunity to
compete with conference teams;
that the agreement is for one year.
Board members shared their comments and questions surrounding
the agreement. Johnson noted that
the District has only entered into
one other cooperative agreement
(with Robbinsdale for adapted athletics).

Armstrong goes 1-1 at Section 5AA girls tennis tournament

BY MATTHEW DAVIS
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
A successful girls tennis
team competition season
came to an end for Armstrong on Thursday, Oct.
8.
Armstrong, the No. 5
seed in Section 5AA, fell
4-3 to No. 4 seed St. Michael-Albertville in the
second round of the tournament. It ended a season

where the Falcons went

13-7 in team matches and
had a first place spot in the
standings for the Northwest Suburban Conference until the second to
last week of regular season competition.
Singles play excelled
for the Falcons in charting their success. Against
STMA, it took a Knights
victory in singles in order
to oust Armstrong.

Nicole Snezhko won her

match for the Falcons at
6-4, 4-6 (10-8) in first singles. Lizzy Van Heest took
second singles 6-4, 6-3;
Mallory Lithun prevailed
6-3, 6-2 in third singles.
Danielle Sorenson had the
only loss in singles at 2-6,
3-6.
STMA swept the Falcons in doubles with Ella
Halverson and Claire Aho

marks in Class 6A, especially when Hopkins

starts out against a successful team such as
Rosemount.
We need to minimize
our mistakes, said Oscar.
In its best games this
season, the Royals have
been able to avoid turnovers and costly penalties. And in the two wins,
Oscar hit his receivers
consistently.
His favorite target, senior Alex Bowers, has
been one of his best
friends since elementary
school.
Alex is an extremely
hard worker, said Oscar. And we have great
chemistry together. He
is outsized most of the
time, but he runs really
disciplined routes. We
have so many good receivers. Deyon Campbell
has great speed. JaMi-

chael Ellis catches the

ball coming out of the
backfield. Henry Brott
is having a really good
year.
Oscar said two keys for
his own success are practice and studying game
films.
Repetition is important, he said.
He sometimes watches
film with his dad, Kirby
Dorothy, who is Hopkins defensive coordinator.
My dad was my
coach, first through
eighth grades, said Oscar. He still helps me
through the mental ups
and downs.
Dorothy is also helping his son with the college recruiting process.
Obviously, I would
love to play for a school
that throws the ball a
lot, said Oscar.
Coach Dorothy and

He hasnt made many mistakes this season, including just four interceptions.
Armstrongs
defense
has forced teams into mistakes this season with ten
interceptions and three
forced fumbles. Moreover, the Falcons can take
up residence in opposing
backfields as shown by
14 sacks and 476 tackles.
Opponents have mustered
107.5 yards rushing and
68.4 yards passing.

Since he has a GPA
close to 3.9, Oscar will be

Outside of his high

There is an outside

Consumer loan laws

Staff at the Minnesota Department of Commerce explained that there are two types of loans
that are commonly referred to as payday lending, even though that exact phrase does not appear in state statutes.
Consumer small loans are provided by consumer small loan lenders. Those loans are capped
at $350, the term of the loan is limited to 30 days,
and charges and interest are limited based on the
size of the loan.
Consumer short-term loans are provided by
industrial loan and thrift companies. They are
capped at $1,000 and require a minimum payment
of at least 25 percent of the principal balance
within 60 days.
Companies like Payday America and ACE
Cash Express are registered as industrial loan and
thrift companies, which have more flexibility in
finance charges and fees, according to commerce
department staff. Laws regulating consumer small

on the poor. Slack and other demonstrators called for increased regulation of the short-term loan industry and for US Bank to offer
fair and accessible short-term loans. (Sun Post staff photo by Joe Bowen)

Protest
FROM PAGE 1
tion just off West Broadway in downtown Robbinsdale, demonstrators
kneeled and prayed in
the buildings parking lot
before heading back to
ELIM.
One demonstrator was
Yolanda Roth. After she
moved from Milwaukee
to the Twin Cities, Roth
said she took out a payday loan when the job she
had lined up was nixed
and she found it difficult
to pay rent on the lowerpaying job she found instead.
My check wasnt quite
enough to pay it off and
still live, and I ended up
racking up a lot of debt
because of fees and so
on, Roth said of the
loan. I eventually paid
it off, but it took a very
long time.
She said her loan of a
few hundred dollars ended up costing her roughly
$1,500 over the space of
six months to a year, and
that the experience was
very unpleasant and

extraordinarily stressful.
Roth added that she felt
she generally understood
the risks associated with
taking out such a loan.
I felt like I understood
what was expected and
I could definitely do it,
she said. I was just in a
desperate situation, or
what I thought was a desperate situation.
Employees at the Robbinsdale Payday America
said a theoretical $400
cash advance taken by
the end of the day on a
Wednesday would incur
about $42 in fees and interest if paid back by the
end of the business day
on the following Friday roughly 10 percent interest accrued in two days
time. First time borrowers, they added, can only
receive $300-400 initially
and are required to present a state-issued ID, a
check from their bank
and a 30-day transaction
history, their two most
recent pay stubs, and
a social security card.

388,376 payday loans were taken out in the

The total amount of payday loans taken out in

There are 23 consumer small loan lenders with
37 locations in Minnesota. The average loan is

We are disappointed
that groups continue to
target our stores based
on our name and not on
an understanding of our
business, CEO Brad
Rixmann said in a statement. What we offer
are unsecured consumer
loans that fill a large lending need. These loans are
regulated by the state,
just like loans from many
other Minnesota finan-

cial institutions.
Municipalities

Crystal and Robbinsdale
do not regulate shortterm lenders beyond approving state licenses and

both cities explained.
The Minnesota Supreme Court filed a ruling
on Oct. 7, which affirms
the constitutionality of
state statutes regulating
the industry.
