Silent c'anger at the rinks ~ StarTribune.com <br />StarTrihune.COm <br />Brad Tullberg, a member of the Minnesota Ice <br />Arena Managers Association and skating center s <br />upervisor at the John Rose Oval in Roseville. <br />The House bill would require all rinks to switch <br />to electric ice grooming equipment by 2015. As a <br />short-term measure, rinks would have to add <br />catalytic converters to all gas- and propane- <br />powered ice resurfacers and edgers by 2011. <br />Hansen's bill proposes grants to help ease the <br />cost of the transition, providing money for new <br />equipment, monitoring and ventilation projects. <br />While rink users would wind up paying for part of <br />the upgrades, Whitecotton said he doesn't care. <br />After his son rang up $525 in medical expenses f <br />or his treatment in 2009, Whitecotton said he'd <br />be happy to chip in a little extra for better air. <br />"It is better to be safe than sorry," Whitecotton <br />said. <br />Jessica Van Berkel is a University of Minnesota <br />student reporter on assignment for the Star <br />Tribune. <br />!'Vi~4~'C~1/~1! rPAC~14G~ <br />SUNDAY -THURSDAY, $79 J FRfDAY, <br />INCLUDED fN YDUA FACKAGE~ <br />$iD DL'~~aM1ru C1=R"rPFrC.4TE TJ?
