That may not seem very unu sua l except tha t, the day before , District Judge Dona ld Alsop had denied his req uest for a tem-porary injunction. Thi s injunction would have prevent<!d the Eagan Po lice Depart-ment from enforcing a city o rd inance that would make illegal a good portion of what he sells in his sto re, Mak 'n Magic, at Coun -ty Road 30 and Cedar Avenue in Eagan. Friday morning Jud ge Alsop issued a two-week stay o f execution, givmg Geiger and his attorneys two weeks to p ut together an appeal of the judge's dec ision. Geiger still seems opt imistic. Talking to a report er in the midst of a Chinese dinn er, he said he still thin ks tha t his side will win in the end. Although he said he disagree s with Alsop' s decision, he did not con demn Al sop. "He says what he says, an d I say what I say ," Geiger said. " I don't say he's righ t o r he' s wrong - cause I can't." For now, Geiger feels safe. His attorneys are dra wing up an appea l a nd , if it is ac-cepte d, he could request a nother restraining order until that process was complet e. " They (Eagan po lice) can't do anything now," he said. " I'm in the clear for a bit. " Picket ing of the store had stopp ed Thur s-day after the decision was announced. With the stay of execution, Geiger expects them back . " I thought they'd be here by now," he said. In an interview with The Current earlier in the day, prior to the issuan ce of a stay of execution, Alice Kreitz, one of the leaders of the protest against Mak 'n Magic called Alsop' s deci sion "an answer to our prayers." She explained that a numbe r of the peo-ple in the group, known as the Concerned Citizens of Eagan , Appl e Valley and Burns-ville had been concentrating their pra yers on Alsop' s decision. "We really did not want him (Alsop) to infringe on his (Geiger's) right s," Kreitz said , "but we did want to have him con -sider the rights o f the major ity." She also expressed her hope tha t Geiger would consider goi ng into a differen t line of busines s. If he did, she said , "all of the Concerned Citizens would support him ." Kreitz also said that the group would be actively lob bying the state Legislatu re next year to pass a state law banning the sale of drug- related devices. She also sa id they will be worki ng with local drug awareness pro -grams and the Community Action Cou ncil in an ·attempt to educat e people on the dangers of drug use. As for picketin g, Kreitz called it a "fru str ati ng job. " She could no t be reached lat e Friday fo r co mment on whether it wo uld continue dur -ing the stay.

T he prob lem , according to Peg Galla-gher, L'C haim director , was how to deal ef-fectively with youth who ran away from the shelter . " It was a ca se of figuring out who was going to do what ," she said. "To a large extent, if not entirely, that situation has been resolved , " Larry Mor-gan, Dakota Co unty mental health coordi-nator , said. All runawa ys from the shelter, at 14409 Count y Road 11, are allowe d to come back to L'Chaim, Gallagher said. When they return, they have fewer privileges but may acquire more throug h goo d behavior. The behavior of you th at the shelter is reviewed three t_imes a wee~·r she added. Social worker s who do not assign run-aways back to L ' Chairp are instructed to ar-range for the ir tra nsportion to another facility. The youth ma y remain at L'Chaim until they can be picked up, Ga lla.gher said. In the pa st, L'C haim ha s not been able to take back all runaways, Gallaghe r said. The shelter receives referra ls from 15 counties, e!l.ch of which has a different idea of what should be done with a runaway, she said. P reviousl y chi ldr en from Hennepin Co unty who ran away were not allowed to return to L'Chaim, according to the wishes of authoritie s in that county, Gallagher said. While the children couldn't return to L'Chaim, they ·also couldn't remain at the Public Safety Dep artment after they were picked up by officers. "It created problems for Public Safety because the couldn't be running kids to North Minneapolis. They're not a taxi ser-vice, " Gallagher said. Hennepin County now allows those run-aways to return to L;Chaim. L'Chaim also has agreed to retrieve runaways picked up by Public Safety. If no L'Chaim staff members are available to pick up a runaway, Public Safety will tran sport the child to the shelter, Gallagher said. Gallagher claims the new system is work-ing well and Lt. Dave Farrington, in charge of Public Safety patrol services, agrees that the system hasn't presented any problems. Gallagher was quick to praise Public Safety. " We have never had an y problems get-ting help from Publ ic Safety," she said. " When we hav e a special concern about runaway s, the y mak e a concer ted effo rt to find them . They deal very well with children." L' Chaim, which receiv es per diem payment s from the count y for each child in the shelter , is equipped to handle up to 20 Lessons Sales Service ~HOHNER Lav onne Wagener Music 13732 Nic o llet Ave . 890:7288 ... youth, from age 7 to 17. The children at L'Chaim are not juvenile offenders. Most come to the shelter as a result of truancy or because of problem s at home. L' Chaim is the only shelter in the county for such children. . Some of the children are awaiting place-ment in a foster home. Others are between placement s, waiting to be assigned to a group home or a treatment facility. Youth at the shelter are broken into two age groups, 7 to 11 and 12 to 17. Each day there is a strict schedule of activities, in-cluding a six-hour education program designed for students with learn ing and behavorial problems. "The day is structured to keep children busy nearl y all day," Gallagher said. The 19-membe r staff includes 10 full-time and one part-time child care workers. Since February, student s have stayed at L 'Chaim an average of IS days. The length of their visits sometimes depends on how fast the child's social worker can get them placed in ano ther environment, Gallagher said. L' Chaim's 21 percent runaway rate is not high for facilities of its type, Gallagher said. Of the 21 percent who run, 62 percent are "chronic runn ers," she said. L'Chaim is studying each child's case history , she added, to try and find recurring reasons why children run. So far, the only thing that has turn ed up, she said, is the tendency for chronic runn ers to rnn with one or more friends. Since an ad hoc county committee was formed to look into complaints about L'Chaim, the shelter staff have written clearer guidelines as to what kind of a pro-Peg Gallagher gram they are going to pro vide. Beth Bengtson, committee member, said the committee found the complaints to be either untrue or caused by a lack of com-munication between county social workers and L'Chaim staff. The social workers were not sure what L'Chaim was going to provid e and L'Chaim wasn't sure what services the county expected of them, Bengtson said. "We're going to see that clear lines of communication are drawn, Bengtson said. "We are not seeing the kinds of things the allegations indicated at all." The shelter . has started putting out a newsletter informing the county about changes and operations ·at the shelter, Bengston said. Bengston said the committee's final recommendations on L'Chaim's program will be presented to the county board in about a month. Bengston stressed the importance of hav-ing the shelter in the county. · "We desperately need that shelter in Dakota County," she said.

The 911 Board, responsible for im-plementing the program in the metropolitan area, was formed in May and consists of representative s fro m each of the six metropolitan ar ea counties that signed the Joint Power s Agreement. Dakota County was not one of th e six to sign . Dakota County did not sign becau se of the structure of representation and the use · of assessments to pay for the entire 911 system, accordin g to County Commissioner Russell St reefland. "The Co unt y Board has not felt the make-up appropriate," Streefland said. Hennep in and Ramsey co untie s ha ve three representa tives each, while the five subu r-ban counti es have onl y two repre sentatives each. Repr esentatives are county commis-sioners. Having thr ee represe ntat ives "gives a lot of power to these core -city countie s," Streefland said. Hen nep in and Ramsey countie s defend themselves, Streefland said, by saying that since they are larger and will have to make a bigger investm ent , they should have more represent at ion. Streefland, howeve r, says that if Hen -nepin and Ramsey countie s ca n use this def ense, th en Dakota County can too , since it is farger than Scott an d Carv er countie s. Streefland said he would probably vote to join the 911 Board, even if representa-tion does not change. Streefland does not think there are enough votes on the Dakota County Board to pass the necessary resolu-tion, however. County board members object to the vagueness of the assessment statement in the Joint Powers Agreement. The 911 Board's operating costs now are being paid for by assessments, something Dakota County would like to see written into the agreement. As written , it is unclear whether assessments could be used to pay for the en-tire 911 system. Dakota County says assessments should not be used for this, Streefland said. LeRo y H. John son, 911 Board chairman, said a "go od guestimate" of the cost of the 911 system is $2.9 million for install ation of the system itself , and $800,000 to $1 million per year for the ongoing costs of operating switching gear and installation of selective switching equipment. Assumin g that th e federal grant comes thr o ugh , John son sa id the Board believes that local fund s would be sufficient to pro-vide the matching fund s ofte n required in a federal grant. The Legislature requ ires a system to be opera tin g in the m etro area by 1982, and statewid e by 1986, Mar k Westman, 911 Board staff memb er said. Northw estern Bell has said it would take two years to in-stall the system once it is order ed.

Dec. 15, 1982 is the opera-tional deadline. The system would make contacting the proper local authorities in an emergency simply by dialing 911. A computer then gives emergency authorities the caller's phone number in case the caller is forced to hang up. A call can be disconnected only by the emergency authorities . Another, ·more expensi'ile proposal would -~ connect the system to a computer giving the caller's address as well as phone number. According to Westman, this proposal is be-ing delayed while costs are studied. It's a possible futur e addition, he said. The system would make contracting authorities less complicated and much faster, Johnson said. The response time could be cut nearly in half, he said. Emergency phone systems similar to the 911 program are already operating in Duluth and Rochester, he said.
