LEILA NAVIDI • leila.navidi@startribune.comThe battle over a $15 minimum wage law in Minneapolis has led to a number of protests and demonstrations, including this one in September.

By JESSIE VAN BERKEL jessie.vanberkel@startribune.com

After nine months of negotiations, and three failed proposals from gar-bage haulers, St. Paul still does not have an organized trash collection plan.

City Council members decided last summer that they did not want multiple companies’ trucks rumbling

along alleys every week, hired indi-vidually by residents from among the 15 haulers operating across the city. The council asked the compa-nies to come up with a partnership plan that would divvy up city terri-tory for more efficient service and offer the same prices for everyone.

But this week, city officials will consider another route forward if the group cannot come up with an offer

that meets their goals.The city and trash companies

have not reached a compromise on prices, and haulers remain con-cerned about the city’s desires that they merge into one legal entity and support labor agreements, which would allow workers to unionize. As haulers work on their fourth proposal, city staff members are sug-gesting St. Paul create an “options

committee” to simultaneously look into other ways to get to an organized collection system, such as going out to bid.

Laura Benysek, whose family owns R & M Sanitation, said many small companies, like theirs, would not have the capacity to bid on a city-wide contract.

“It’s just sad that if the city puts it out

“Fear is our worst enemy. We tell folks, ‘Make sure you are living your life the way you always have. Don’t panic.’ ” Juan Linares, an advocate and manager of Mercado Central

By MILA KOUMPILOVAand MIGUEL OTÁROLA Star Tribune staff writers

A Burnsville man balked at reporting a break-in to police for fear of landing on immigration authorities’ radar. In Minneapolis, another told his public defender he was afraid to show up in court. Across the metro, others fearful of run-ins with immigration agents avoid public transportation and places where Latinos gather.

As the Trump administra-tion highlights plans to step up immigration enforcement — and

national headlines capture early evidence of that shift — those liv-ing in Minnesota illegally are shun-ning interactions with government.

And in some cases, rumors that take on a life of their own on social media are fueling that retreat .

In this climate, immigrant advo-cates are trying to strike a delicate balance. They are hosting “Know Your Rights” seminars and urg-

ing immigrants to prepare in case they get arrested or deported. At the same time, they are trying to rein in hearsay and maintain trust in local law enforcement.

For now, the way immigration authorities do business in Minne-sota hasn’t changed significantly: That’s the message from some immigration attorneys, the Mexi-can consulate in St. Paul and people

such as Juan Linares , an advocate and manager of Mercado Central, a Lake Street marketplace where business slowed amid worries about an immigration raid.

“Fear is our worst enemy,” Lin-ares said. “We tell folks, ‘Make sure you are living your life the way you always have. Don’t panic.’ ”

At St. Paul’s Mexican consulate, Consul Gerardo Guerrero says his staff is fielding more questions from Mexican-Americans about whether contacting police can get them in immigration trouble.

They join mayor in opposing exemption for tipped workers.

By ADAM BELZ adam.belz@startribune.com

Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges has said since December that she opposes a minimum wage hike that exempts tipped workers such as serv-ers and bartenders.

On Monday, Minneapolis City Council Members Lisa Bender, John Quincy and Abdi Warsame joined the mayor in opposition to a tip carveout, and they went a step further, calling explicitly for a $15 municipal mini-mum wage.

The three members of the 13-mem-ber City Council, which plans to take up discussion of a minimum wage

ordinance this summer, said they are open to phasing a minimum wage hike in over years, and will give “care-ful consideration to impacts on small business,” taking into account recent listening sessions staff have held all over the city.

“This is the issue of the age right now in Minneapolis. It’s important to have a fair wage,” said Warsame. “Not all restaurants work the same. Not all tipped workers earn the same. I’ve been deliberating on this thing. It’s a very important safety net. Obvi-ously it’s not a panacea, but I wanted to clarify my position.”

The question of what to do with tipped workers has been central to the minimum wage discussion and the mayoral campaign.

Ramsey County attorney’s office said more investigation needed.

By CHAO XIONG chao.xiong@startribune.com

The Ramsey County attorney’s office said it needs more information before it can consider filing charges against a man arrested last week in connection with the triple murder of a St. Paul family in the city’s Payne-Phalen neighborhood.

“The Saint Paul Police Depart-ment presented its investigative file on Jeffery Arkis Taylor to our office this morning for possible criminal charges,” the county attorney’s office said in a written statement Monday afternoon. “After reviewing the case, we determined further investigation is needed to establish the extent and nature of Taylor’s involvement in the events surrounding the triple homi-cide. Therefore, we have returned

the case to Saint Paul police for further investigation.

“Our hearts go out to the friends and fam-ily of those lost in this tragic incident.”

Jeffery Arkis Taylor Jr., 19, was booked in the county jail Friday for probable cause on three counts of aid-ing and abetting sec-ond-degree murder,

one count of aiding and abetting attempted second-degree murder and one count of kidnapping.

He was released just before noon Monday.

Taylor’s 20-year-old half-brother, Jeffrey Jemaile Taylor, was found dead at the scene of the killings and is the suspected shooter in the incident.

St. Paul police said Monday that the Ramsey County medical exam-iner’s office determined his death to be suicide by self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Medaria Arradondo replaces the departing Mpls. assistant chief.

By LIBOR JANY libor.jany@startribune.com

A well-respected Minneapolis police commander has been tapped as the department’s next assistant chief, officials announced on Mon-day.

After serving as Chief Janeé Har-teau’s chief of staff for the past 2½ years, Medaria “Rondo” Arradondo will take over as the MPD’s second-in-command. He replaces the depart-ing Kris Arneson , who will retire this month.

Harteau on Monday called the decision to appoint Arradondo an easy one, “part of our very intentional and strategic succession plan.”

“Rondo, and everyone who knows him calls him Rondo, brings incred-ible leadership and community-building skills to this position,” Harteau said in a statement. “As my Chief of Staff, Rondo has prepared for this next step in many ways, with an intense focus on our progressive initiatives.”

Arradondo joined the department in 1989 and climbed the ranks, with stints in patrol, internal affairs and

Harteau aide promoted to second in command

The girls’ mother, Anita Sprosty, was critically injured in the shooting. Sprosty lived in the apartment where the killings occurred.

Jeffery A. Taylor was found after the killings hiding in a shed a few blocks away with an 18-month-old girl

taken from the apartment. His brother and Maria McIn-tosh were the girl’s parents and shared custody of her.

The toddler, Cheyenne, was not injured.

Sprosty’s sister, Ida Her-nandez Foster, said that Jeffrey Jemaile Taylor was involved in an intense cus-tody dispute with Maria McIntosh.

property crimes. He also worked as a school resource officer and walked the beat on the city’s North Side, where his family has strong ties.

A graduate of Roosevelt High School, Arradondo earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Met-ropolitan State University and later received a master’s degree in human services from Concordia University in St. Paul.

One of ‘Mill City 5’Arradondo was one of

five black officers — known collectively as the “Mill City 5” — who sued former chief Tim Dolan in 2007, claim-ing that Dolan had fostered a racially hostile environ-ment. The city settled with the officers two years later for $740,000.

In his new position, Arra-

dondo will be responsible for managing the department’s day-to-day operations while overseeing the Special Oper-ations and Intelligence Divi-sion and police-community relations program.

More changes comingIn a statement, Arneson,

who is departing after more than 30 years with the depart-ment, pointed to Arradondo’s reputation as a popular and accessible leader.

“While it’s not easy to leave this job, it is much eas-ier knowing that Rondo will be the next Assistant Chief,” Arneson said in the state-ment.

Police officials said that more leadership changes are underway and will be announced in the next few weeks.

to bid all these people who have done this their whole life get lost in the politics of it,” she said.

The city would prefer to have the 15-hauler consortium come up with a plan, but staff felt compelled to suggest the “dual track” to keep the process moving, said Ellen Biales , with the city’s Public Works Depart-ment.

St. Paul officials want to roll out the new trash collec-tion system next year, though Biales said it could be 2019 if they have to go out to bid.

City Council members will consider a resolution Wednes-day authorizing continued negotiations with haulers and establishing a committee made up of Council Members Russ Stark and Dan Bostrom , the deputy mayor and the pub-lic works director, to “identify, examine, and evaluate” orga-nized collection methods.

Meanwhile, a coalition of haulers and residents, called First Choice St. Paul, has cre-ated a website and is writing to city officials urging them not to implement organized collection.

Despite a push from some

residents who want to con-tinue to choose their own haulers, Benysek said it seems many city officials made up their minds long ago that the city should shift to an orga-nized system.

Benysek still thinks the 15

haulers and the city will reach an agreement, but said the city needs to make compromises. St. Paul wants garbage collec-tors to lower their prices while offering more services, such as picking up bulky items like mattresses and tires, she said.

“I don’t know how much more the haulers can give, and I think the city needs to be a little more realistic,” she said.

City staff have been nego-tiating but have to meet pol-icy directions set by the City Council, Environmental Pol-icy Director Anne Hunt said.

As for the haulers’ concern about multiple companies operating as one entity, she said other cities, like Bloom-ington and Minneapolis, have made that transition.

“We’re not asking them to do something that is totally precedent-setting,” Hunt said.

St. Paul seeks new path to unify trash haulingø TRASH from B1

Gunflint Trail lodge owner sprang into action when a moose fell through the ice.

By PAT PHEIFERpat.pheifer@startribune.com

Forrest Parson started off his Monday by saving a moose.

“Not too bad,” he told com-munity radio station WTIP in Grand Marais, Minn., a few hours later.

Parson, owner of Hungry Jack Lodge on the Gunflint Trail, said he was having his morning coffee at the lodge about 7:20 a.m. when he saw a yearling moose slowly walk-ing across the lake.

“For as slow as it was walk-ing across the ice, you could definitely tell it didn’t know what it was doing,” he said.

Although he’s seen a half-dozen or more moose swim-ming across Hungry Jack Lake in the summer, it’s unusual to see one walking across the ice. It’s likely the young female headed to the ice to escape wolves, Parson said.

“I stepped away to refill my coffee,” he said. “When I looked out, the moose was gone.”

It had fallen through the ice and was struggling to get out. Parson said he was on the phone with his mother and, after watching for a few

minutes, decided “I gotta do something about this. I can’t just watch it,” he said.

Parson called local conser-vation officers, then alerted Jim Morrison at the Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Depart-ment.

Others had seen the moose struggling in the frigid water, too, and the rescue was soon underway.

Morrison, Parson and oth-ers scooted canoes across the

ice.“By the time we got to the

moose, it had spent all of its energy,” Parson said.

The crew managed to get tow straps and ropes around the moose and began to pull it out, first one leg, then the other. Within an hour it was lying on the ice, then stand-ing.

“It stood there probably 45 minutes,” Parson said. “It didn’t want to be on that ice.”

It was 10 or 10:30 a.m. before the moose felt comfortable enough to walk on its own to the shore.

“Other than exhaustion and it probably was pretty darn cold, it seemed to be OK,” Parson said.

While the moose may not remember its rescuers, the rescuers will have a story to tell for a long time.

St. Paul wants downtown site developed, but if it doesn’t sell, a park is likely.

By JESSIE VAN BERKEL jessie.vanberkel@startribune.com

St. Paul put its old Pub-lic Safety Annex up for sale, despite an outcry from resi-dents in the surrounding con-dominiums and apartments who want the city to stick with its plan to demolish the build-ing and add a park.

Police are vacating the 92-year-old building this year and city officials — who are focused on job creation — decided to put it on the mar-ket. Downtown St. Paul is not lacking open office space, but it doesn’t have enough of the “brick and timber” open floor plan styles that millennials and creative companies are look-ing for, said Council Member Rebecca Noecker, whose ward includes downtown.

The city’s default plan is still to destroy the building at

100 10th St. E. and add a park, she said, “unless there is some unbelievable offer that comes along.”

If that happens, there will be a lot more community involve-ment, Noecker said, and she would try to ensure some addi-tional green space was incor-porated in any option.

St. Paul is accepting offers to redevelop the building for office or commercial uses, including limited retail. The city plans to start evaluat-ing offers June 12. If officials decide to consider an offer, the city’s Housing and Rede-velopment Authority will hold a public hearing to get community feedback. Devel-opers could start overhauling the annex as soon as 2018.

“We have seen signifi-cant interest in repurposing older buildings into modern, high-quality office space. We would be remiss to not explore potential commercial redevel-opment of this building to sup-port immediate job growth in downtown,” Mayor Chris

Coleman said in a statement Monday.

Many residents have long hoped that the planned expan-sion of Pedro Park, next to the annex, would liven up the neighborhood and increase property values, much like Mears Park in Lowertown, said Rod Halvorson , president of the nearby City Walk Con-dominium Association.

Halvorson, who worked on a plan years ago that included the park, said residents will continue to fight the sale of the building, which he called

an “illogical decision.”“I do understand it,” he

said, “because the city has a real strong need for cash and the park would cost money to build. But it’s very, very shortsighted decisionmaking if they move forward with the sale.”

AROUND THE METRO

The possibilities include bicycle paths, bus routes and light rail.

By JESSIE BEKKER jessica.bekker@startribune.com

Bicyclists, pedestrians and pub-lic transportation riders traveling through St. Paul’s Highland Park may one day be able to follow the route trains took to the old Ford Motor Co. plant.

St. Paul city planners announced last week they’re studying the five-mile Canadian Pacific corridor for potential uses. Land surveying has begun, and planners will seek com-munity input through March 2018. The railroad track originates at the Ford site, turns south, then east, and runs along West 7th Street to St. Clair Avenue, one mile from downtown St. Paul.

Planners will evaluate whether to remove the tracks, said Mollie Scoz-

zari, spokeswoman for the city’s Planning and Economic Develop-ment Department. New uses of the corridor could include a bike trail, light-rail or bus line.

The study is the 16th in the past 10 years to look at redevelopment options for the Ford site and sur-rounding area. It’s separate from the Riverview Corridor study, already underway, which is looking at tran-sit options for a connection between St. Paul and the Mall of America. And a transportation study completed in November evaluated how extending streets into the Ford site could con-nect with the surrounding neighbor-hood.

The Ford automotive plant shut down in 2011. City leaders have been working on plans for redevelopment in the area, including parks, streets and 4,000 housing units. But some neighboring residents worry that introducing up to 7,200 more people

could make the area too densely pop-ulated and cause traffic congestion.

The Canadian Pacific tracks have sat unused since the plant shut down. Some residents living along them are worried about increased noise and light pollution if the route is used for public transportation, like a bus rapid transit line or light rail, said Highland District Council President Melanie McMahon.

“Residents living along it are used to the quiet,” McMahon said. “If you’re sitting in your backyard, what’s it going to feel like?”

Still, Council Member Chris Tol-bert, who represents the area, said adding public transit could help decrease traffic congestion in and around the redeveloped Ford site.

“Every person riding transit is one less car on the street,” Tolbert said.

Half the $200,000 cost of the study is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Another $70,000 will come from the city of St. Paul, and Ford Motor Co . and transit-focused business group East Metro Strong will cover the

remainder.

Options weighed for old Ford rail line

Motorists have struck 54 pedestrians so far this year and 188 last year, city officials said.

By JAMES WALSH jim.walsh@startribune.com

When it comes to pedestrian safety, St. Paul police say they’re going to keep trying until distracted drivers get it right.

Once again, after 188 pedestri-ans were hit by autos last year and another 54 have been struck so far this year, St. Paul and Ramsey County offi-cials are renewing efforts to protect pedestrians, especially pedestrians with disabilities, as they cross the street. Officials on Monday kicked off the 2017 version of their “Stop For Me” campaign, which includes money from the National Highway Safety Administration to pay over-time to police and deputies through-out Ramsey County.

Through online videos, radio and

television public service announce-ments, and stepped-up crosswalk enforcement operations, campaign organizers say they hope motorists get the message.

“Drivers need to absolutely slow down, pay attention and actively look for pedestrians,” St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell said.

This year’s campaign, a partner-ship with the St. Paul Mayor’s Advi-sory Committee for People with Dis-abilities, stresses that people with disabilities, especially those who get around with the help of scooters and wheelchairs, are hard to see. They often take longer to cross the street and require extra patience from often impatient motorists.

“We don’t have the speed to get across before the light changes some-times,” said Scott Coleman , who uses a wheelchair. “Sometimes, people start turning before we’re out of the intersection.”

Kari Sheldon , who also uses a wheelchair, said she has had more

close calls than she can count — always in a crosswalk and often involv-ing drivers in a hurry to make a turn.

“People need to have patience,” she said.

They also need to pay attention, said Mayor Chris Coleman .

A few days ago, he saw a driver on the freeway with a cellphone dan-gling from her rearview mirror. She was playing a game on her phone — at 60 miles per hour, he said.

Improving pedestrian safety begins with driver awareness, obey-ing the law and stopping completely for people in the crosswalk, whether it is marked or not, Coleman said.

St. Paul Police Sgt. Jeremy Ellison said police will conduct 60 crosswalk enforcement operations this year, the same number as last year. They will post large orange signs warning motorists of what they are doing, he said, adding that he thinks drivers are starting to get the message. He has seen more people stopping. Still, he encouraged witnesses to call police

— after stopping or with hands-free devices — if they see motorists texting or failing to yield.

Mark Hughes , co-chairman of the mayor’s advisory committee, said he has twice been struck by vehicles while crossing the street in his wheel-

chair, in 1994 and 2004. He was not hurt, but was certainly rattled.

“It think there is a lot of work to be done,” he said. “We’ve just barely scratched the surface.”

The ordinance is scheduled to take effect July 1.

By EMMA NELSON emma.nelson@startribune.com

Details about how Minneapo-lis will enforce its new citywide sick leave ordinance are available for public comment until May 1.

The ordinance, approved last year, guarantees time off for full-time, part-time and tempo-rary employees, including paid interns. The law is scheduled to go into effect July 1.

The sick leave ordinance applies to most employers in the city. Those with six or more employees must provide paid sick leave, while those with five or fewer employees can provide unpaid time off.

Under the ordinance, employ-ees will accrue one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked, up to 48 hours of leave per year. Employees can use the time for themselves or to take care of certain family members in the event of illness or to deal with an emergency such as domestic violence.

Possible violations can be reported to the Minneapolis Department of Civil Rights, which has the power to investi-gate and impose fines and other penalties on employers found to have violated the ordinance.

Rules and guidance explain-ing how the ordinance works are available online at www.minneapolismn.gov/sickti-meinfo. Members of the public can e-mail comments and ques-tions to sicktimeinfo@minneap-olismn.gov.

Orin Doty came from an antiwar family, and he lived his principles.

He went to prison three times: twice for opposing the draft and refusing to serve during the Korean War, a third time for not paying his taxes to protest the U.S. military budget.

“He was opposed to war in general,” said old friend Colin Connel of Minneapolis. “He didn’t think war was the way to solve problems.”

A photo of Doty and his three brothers reporting to jail for refusing induction into the military was published on the front page of the Minneapolis Tribune on March 30, 1955. They were being led by their father, William, who was imprisoned earlier for his opposition to World War I.

Doty, 89, died of pneumonia in Rochester on March 27, said his daughter, Jenise Doty of Minneapolis.

“He used to say to me, ‘One person doing something is better than a thousand people doing nothing,’ ” she recalled. “He never gave up on trying to educate and raise people’s consciousness.”

His letters to the editor appeared numerous times over the years in the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the Roches-ter Post Bulletin, often on peace issues and women’s rights. He was very proud that family members participated in the large women’s rights march in St. Paul in January, accord-ing to a son-in-law, Doug Osmon.

Doty grew up in Fayette, Iowa , and graduated from high school in Virginia, Minn. He worked as a factory assem-bler for various companies and lived in Minneapolis most of his life.

In the early 1950s, during the onset of the Korean War, he and his brothers Joel , Paul and Sid refused to register for the draft and were convicted in federal court and sent to prison. Someone registered them, according to his daugh-ter, so when they got out of prison, they received a military call-up notice. They refused to show up for induction, were convicted again and sent to prison a second time.

As they walked from the federal courthouse on March 29, 1955, to the Ramsey County jail to begin their two-year sentence, one brother, Joel Doty, handed reporters a state-ment reaffirming their belief that “consc ription and war is wrong,” and declaring that “we feel that we are going back to prison for the second time for the same offense.”

The brothers were in several federal prisons together

in Texas, Kentucky and Missouri.“Prison unpleasant but meaningful experience,” Orin

Doty wrote in a note that his family found in an autobiog-raphy by another pacifist activist, Dave Dellinger .

Doty’s activism was particularly dramatic because the peace movement was very small during the 1950s. “There were very few people willing to stand up,” said a friend, Lionel Davis. “It was the McCarthy period,” a time when there were many accusations of treason and subversion with little evidence to support them.

After Doty married his first wife, who was also a peace activist, he continued to protest, helping to organize anti-war demonstrations during the Vietnam War.

“He used to tell me he did not want to go to prison again,” said Lisa Doty Osmon of Rochester, his other daughter.

Osmon said, “He’d wear a tie and dress up for the dem-onstrations. Police would usually pass him by and arrest people with long hair.”

Osmon remembered him as a “good dad.” He would come home from work and take his daughters for long walks or sledding in the winter. In the summer time, he’d buy a bucket of ice cream, dish it into Dixie cups and offer it to his daughters and their friends who were playing in the backyard of the family’s home.

Survivors include two brothers, Sid of Roseville and Paul of Minneapolis. He is preceded in death by both his first wife, Laura Pheonix , and his second wife, June . A private memorial is planned.

He opposed the Korean War and went to prison three times

Sentencing was for firearms charge. No one is charged with the killing.

By LIBOR JANY libor.jany@startribune.com

A man was sentenced Monday to more than five years in prison on a weapons conviction in connection with the drive-by shooting death of his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son.

Melvonte Peterson, 26, pleaded guilty in March to illegally possessing a gun the day Le’Vonte King Jason Jones was killed in north Minneapolis’ Jordan neigh-borhood. As a felon, Peterson is prohibited from carrying guns.

The death created outrage in a part of the city already ravaged by gun violence.

Peterson was driving with Le’Vonte and his 15-month-old daughter last July when a driver pulled up next to him and opened fire, prosecutors said. One of the shots killed Le’Vonte. Another injured his sister. Peterson returned fire before driving to North Memorial Medical Center.

Prosecutors charged Peterson with murder, man-slaughter and neglect, but a judge threw out the murder charges in January, saying that

holding him responsible for Le’Vonte’s death “defies com-mon sense.”

Peterson is scheduled for release after serving a little more than three years. He was also ordered to pay res-titution to a hardware store whose window was shattered by one of his shots. Peterson, credited with serving 270 days, will be transferred to the state correctional facility in St. Cloud as early as the end of this week, his attorney told family members after Mon-day’s hearing.

Peterson didn’t show any emotion as he walked into the courtroom wearing an over-sized orange jumpsuit, his hair braided neatly.

When the judge asked him whether he had anything to say before she sentenced him, Peterson paused and then said, “No.”

Some family members sit-ting in the first two rows of the courtroom shouted their support for him, as a pair of deputies led Peterson out of the courtroom.

Afterward, his girlfriend and Le’Vonte’s mother, LaShae Jones, said the sen-tence had left her feeling “depressed.”

She questioned why another man believed to have been involved in the shoot-

ing, but who has never been charged, was free, despite both Hennepin County Attor-ney Mike Freeman and Chief Public Defender Mary Mori-arty both saying that they know who did it.

That man, also a felon, was recently arrested on suspi-cion of gun possession. That case is pending.

“It confuses me and it just has me at a point that’s like, ‘What is wrong with the sys-tem?’ ” she said.

No one has been charged with Le’Vonte’s killing.

Man gets 5 years in N. Mpls. drive-by death of boy, age 2

Le’Vonte King Jason Jones was fatally shot while he was in a car in the Jordan area.

A body pulled Saturday night from the Mississippi River near Grey Cloud Island has been identified as that of a New Hope man who has been missing since late February.

Authorities on Monday said the body was that of 22-year-old Adam Alexan-der Clark. The Washington County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating the cause of death.

According to a GoFundMe page set up to cover family expenses, Clark was last seen on February 28. His vehicle was found in south Minne-apolis near Minnehaha Falls and the Ford Parkway bridge over the Mississippi.

Family members said Clark needed daily medication, and that it was possible he had gone to Colorado.

According to media

reports, a tugboat operator found Clark’s body in the river shortly before 9:30 p.m. Saturday, near river mile 827 between Grey Cloud Island Township and Inver Grove Heights.

The body was released to the Ramsey County medical examiner’s office for identi-fication.

JACKSON FORDERER • The Free Press via APMinneopa State Park volunteer Tim Pulis, left, talked with Lennox Tofte, 3, and his dad, Matt, after showing them bison through a spotting scope. Pulis is a “bison ambassador” at the park.

Volunteers step in to help as interest grows in state park’s bison herd.

By BRIAN AROLA Mankato Free Press

MANKATO – Visitor curios-ity hasn’t diminished at Min-neopa State Park since a herd of bison was introduced in fall 2015.

If anything, interest in the animals has grown, prompt-ing park staff to seek the help of volunteers to keep up with the droves of new visitors.

To meet the demand, the Department of Natural Resources started offering “bison ambassador” training last year.

The training teaches vol-unteers basic facts about the sizable beasts that roam the park, from how long they’ve been at Minneopa to where onlookers might see them on a given day. The park had about 10 ambassadors already, but enough interested parties came to a training session recently to potentially double that number.

Scott Kudelka, Minneopa area naturalist, said the park needs the help.

“We’ve gone from a mid-dle-of-the-road park for visi-

tation to a top 10,” he said of the effect the bison have had at Minneopa.

Warren Michels of St. Peter said he’s always been intrigued by the herd. A retiree, he said the training sounded like a good way to learn more about the animals while helping out at the park.

The ambassadors will mainly be stationed at the Seppman Mill overlook on weekends, where they can answer questions and set up a spotting scope so the public can more easily see the herd.

Tim Pulis, secretary of the Friends of Minneopa State Park group, has been a vol-unteer bison ambassador since the herd came to the park. While the new recruits trained, he headed up to Seppman to demonstrate the duties of a park ambassador.

He zoomed in the spotting scope on three bison lounging in the sun for a family who’d

just walked up.Matt Tofte of Mankato

picked up his son, Lennox, 3, then his daughter, Alexa, 8, to give them a look. Both chil-dren remarked with surprise how big the bison looked.

“I think it definitely helps out to have them on hand,” Matt Tofte said of the volun-teers. “It gives you an up-close look you wouldn’t get.”

Pulis said interactions like this are common on nice weekend days at the park.

“In a two-hour span last summer I probably would have up to 100 people come by and ask questions,” he said.

He said the recent training session should help keep the park staffed with volunteers through the peak visitation months coming up.

TWIN CITIES TODAY

I find it charming and vaguely amusing when people in other (duller) ZIP codes around the United States share weather stories. The Plains see bigger tornadoes; the Gulf Coast experiences Texas-size hurricanes. But when it comes to wild extremes, look no further than Minnesota.

The biggest temperature swings take place near the center of continents, well away from the moderating effects of water. April can bring over a foot of snow in a single day — and 90s. Minneapolis-St. Paul sees an average of 2.4 inches of snow in April. Morning slush this time of year is business as usual.

Any wintry memories give way to blue skies and low 50s today, a baby step in the right direction. Showery rains brush Minnesota on Wednesday, with heavier T-storms popping on Friday ahead of a warmer front. If everything goes just right, we may sample 70 degrees Saturday afternoon as we stagger into spring.

April extremes? Absolutely. But still no earthquakes or tsunamis or volcanoes. The weather may be volatile, but the ground underfoot is firm.

Slush or 90s? Minnesota Aprils can go either way

Hennepin County Public Defender’s Office, said a client recently showed up for a meet-ing with a busted lip and black eye. He told his attorney he was robbed of tip money and a cellphone after walking home from his restaurant job late at night, but he did not want to report the crime to Minneapo-lis police.

Felipe Illescas , who met the Burnsville break-in victim through his work as an immi-grant rights advocate, says anxieties in the south metro ran high after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested nine in Apple Valley and Burnsville in February. People took to social media to say they saw police during the operations; police departments in both cities said they did not assist with the arrests.

In recent months, some local police officers have stressed they don’t do the work of immi-gration authorities, with St. Paul and Minneapolis officers recording multilingual videos that subsequently went viral.

While the Los Angeles police chief recently high-lighted a drop in crime report-ing by Latinos this year that he attributed to more muscular immigration enforcement, St. Paul has seen an increase over the same period in 2016.

“We want people to be call-ing us,” said Sgt. Mike Ernster , a department spokesman. “We want them to trust us.”

But Moriarty said that, amid news of stepped-up enforce-ment, mistrust can bleed into relationships with anyone on the government’s payroll, including attorneys in her office who have had to work harder than ever to build rap-port with immigrant clients.

“Anything that’s related to the government, people are afraid of interacting with right now for fear of ICE lurking around the corner,” she said.

Moriarty said she hopes local court officials will join counterparts in California and Washington state who have

called on ICE to refrain from courthouse arrests. Clients have been picked up leaving probation appointments, she said, and after a DWI sentenc-ing in March at the Southdale courthouse in Edina.

An ICE spokesman said the agency does not track arrest locations, but courthouse arrests are not new. They usu-ally occur after the agency has exhausted other options and often involve immigrants with serious criminal convictions, he said.

Fewer customers Generally, advocates say,

immigrants without legal sta-tus are more mindful of the places they frequent — and how they get there.

As reports of ICE agent sightings on Lake Street in Minneapolis have ricocheted on social media, Mercado Cen-tral and other Latino-owned business have seen a “signifi-cant” drop in foot traffic and sales, Linares said.

U.S. Department of Home-land Security agents — who on occasion accompany Metro Transit officers during ticket checks on the light rail — have been mistaken for immigra-tion officials, leading some illegal residents to stay off the trains, Illescas said. Oth-ers avoid driving and risking a traffic stop.

“People walk to church now,

even when it’s cold out,” said Sebastian Rivera, a leader with the advocacy group Asamblea de Derechos Civiles. “This is not normal.”

Some immigrant advocates without legal status, who until recently have been outspoken in the media and lobbying state officials, have retreated from public view. Attendance at advocacy group meetings and protests is sparser, lead-ers such as Rivera say.

An enforcement shift is doubtlessly underway. Besides greatly expanding the govern-ment’s immigration priori-ties, the administration has pledged to hire 15,000 addi-tional immigration and bor-der agents nationally — steps applauded by supporters frus-trated with the Obama admin-istration’s narrower enforce-ment approach.

Deportations of people with community ties and no criminal histories in Indiana, Illinois and elsewhere have put immigrants on edge.

Immigration attorneys locally have seen more cases in which bystanders get picked up alongside immigrants whom ICE agents were look-ing to arrest. But all in all, they say, agents are still setting out to arrest specific people with pending deportation orders, and most are still immigrants with criminal convictions. ICE has pushed back against

“dangerous and irresponsible” reports of random sweeps and checkpoints.

“Fortunately, for now here in Minnesota nothing has changed,” said Guerrero, whose consulate has handled a major increase in applications for travel documents and chil-dren’s birth certificates from residents preparing for pos-sible deportation.

Advocates have tried to walk a fine line. They encour-age immigrants to prepare power-of-attorney and par-ent authorization documents in case they are detained and deported. As part of an ini-tiative by the group Isaiah, 17 churches and synagogues are ready to host immigrants facing deportations; some have installed showers and upgraded their kitchens. Groups like Isaiah and Asam-blea are training volunteers to respond to ICE operations and document them.

Slowing the rumorsBut advocates are also urg-

ing people to be more judicious in reacting to unconfirmed or inaccurate reports, such as a recent e-mail about a mass roundup at day care centers. Illescas and others are asking people not to share or retweet reports without fact-checking.

“You don’t want to cause fear in communities that are already fearful,” said Isaiah’s JaNaé Bates .

Maria, a Twin Cities stay-at-home mom who asked that only her first name be used, said she has made a point of sticking to her routine. She still drives her children, who are U.S. citizens, to after-school activities. She has dismissed warnings on social media that it’s risky to shop at Wal-Mart.

“I trust in God, and I haven’t changed anything,” she said. “So many people are afraid of something that hasn’t hap-pened yet.”

Fear keeps immigrants in shadowsø IMMIGRANTS from B1

ELIZABETH FLORES • liz.flores@startribune.comThe line for food was short at Mercado Central marketplace on Monday. Rumors of immigration raids have affected business.

The Minnesota Restau-rant Association proposed a carveout for tipped workers, who the lobbying organiza-tion argues often make more than $15 an hour already. Sev-eral servers and bartenders have backed that proposal.

Jennifer Schellenberg, a server at Red Rabbit who’s involved with Service Indus-try Staff for Change, a group lobbying for a tip carveout, said Bender, Quincy and Warsame’s position will damage her industry.

“I’m disappointed,” Schel-lenberg said. “The real tip penalty is the loss of our tips and our jobs with a minimum wage that doesn’t recognize tips as income.”

But no mayoral candi-dates are backing a tip car-veout. Hodges, Nekima Levy-Pounds and Raymond Dehn oppose it, and Council Member Jacob Frey and Tom Hoch say they will wait until city staff present a report on the listening sessions in May before they take a position.

The City Council will likely decide the matter before the election, and a slate of coun-cil challengers from the left is pushing incumbents to sup-port a $15 minimum wage with no exceptions, which is why vote-counting on the council matters.

“No one should work full-time and still not be able to make ends meet,” Bender,

who is running unopposed for re-election in the Tenth Ward, said in a state-ment. “Creat-ing a two-tiered income system

in Minneapolis hurts work-ers and that is why I support building upon, not reversing, our state’s one fair wage.”

Quincy, who has two chal-lengers in the Eleventh Ward, said, “I agree with our part-ners in the Minnesota L eg-islature that our minimum wage should include tipped workers.”

State legislators have so far resisted pressure to create a two-tiered minimum wage.

The announcement was not surprising coming from Quincy and Bender. Quincy is a staunch ally to Hodges, and Bender is a leading mem-ber of the City Council’s pro-gressive wing.

Warsame, however, is a swing vote on the council. He said residents asked him constantly in the run-up to the caucuses what his posi-tion was, and when he said he was deliberating, he could tell that wasn’t enough for people in his ward.

“This is the biggest issue that came across in the cau-cus,” Warsame said. “I think this is an important step.”
