Hopkins
Mainstreet joins
National Register
of Historic Places
By NATALIE CIERZAN

Hopkins Mayor Patrick
Hanlon announced at a
special gathering at the
Clock Tower Plaza on April
12 that the city’s Mainstreet
has joined the National
Register of Historic Places.
The area of Mainstreet
covered is between 8th
and 11th Avenues, which
includes 32 buildings. The
city unveiled a new banner
to commemorate the an-
nouncement, which says,
“Hopkins Historic Main-
street, National Register of
Historic Places.”
Last fall, the Hopkins
Historical Society and the
Minnesota Department
of Transportation submit-
ted an application to the
United States Department
of Interior for a listing on
the National Register of
Historic Places. Mainstreet
“The city of Hopkins is
about its people, as all of
you here are part of our
community, the people of
Hopkins. This historic dis-
trict embodies the many
lives and the memories of
the people that have gone
before us. This designa-
tion is more than honoring
buildings, it’s honoring the
people and their stories in
Hopkins,” Hanlon said.
He said Hopkins’ build-
ings were the markers of
the city’s history and the
residents’ time together. Be-
ing listed on the register will
give Hopkins building own-
ers economic incentives to
rehabilitate and maintain
their structures.
“This type of investment
will preserve our history
and the character of Main-
street while promoting
Hopkins as a destination
for future generations. We

Last chance
to save your
ash trees in
St. Louis Park
Recent inspections in
St. Louis Park have shown
that the number of trees
infested with the emerald
ash borer beetle are rap-
idly increasing within the
city.
If you neglect to protect
your ash trees from the em-
erald ash borer this season,
it likely will be infested and
killed. A city ordinance
then requires removal of
the tree to prevent further
spread of the beetle.
Since being discov-
ered in St. Louis Park in
June 2019, hundreds of
untreated ash trees have
been removed in the city.
Although the city has a
comprehensive manage-
ment plan for the emerald
ash borer, including the
treatment of more than
1,000 public trees, you
must continue to be vigi-
lant and protect your ash
trees. Once the insect has
entered the tree, it may not
exhibit signs or symptoms
for the first year or two.
Most asymptomatic, un-
protected ash trees in St.
Louis Park are likely in
this stage – a critical time
for protection.
If you own an ash tree,
you have two options:
treat your ash tree to stop
or prevent the infestation
or remove the tree before
it becomes a hazard. Trees
killed by emerald ash bor-
er quickly become brittle,
increasing the risk of in-
jury to people and dam-
age to property as well as
elevating removal costs.
To help you protect ash
trees on your property, the
city is again partnering
with Rainbow Treecare
to provide St. Louis Park
residents with a bulk rate
discount on ash tree treat-
ments.
Treatments are effec-
tive on healthy ash and
are a fraction of the cost
to remove the tree. For
example, an average size
ash tree (20 inches in di-
ameter) costs about $134

to treat every two years
while removing the same
tree would cost more than
$1,200. For the same price
as removal, you could pro-
tect this tree for 17 years
while continuing to enjoy
the benefits it provides.
Just how effective are
these treatments? Emerald
ash borer was first found in
the United States in 2002.
Since then, many treat-
ments have been tried and
tested to stop this beetle.
Results have been excellent
for the current treatment
used in St. Louis Park.
Of the more than 1,000
public trees that have been
protected, only one treated
tree has been removed over
the past year.

regarding the emerald ash
borer, visit stlouispark.

ated for treatment under
the city discount, con-

free of charge. Thank you
for helping protect and
preserve St. Louis Park’s

Editor’s note: According to the city,
the emerald ash borer has been
found again this year in ash trees at
Bass Lake Preserve and Westwood
Hills Nature Center. Removal of in-
fested trees will take place through
Saturday, April 30, to help slow
the spread and reduce the risk of
future tree failure. Due to the large
amount of removals at Bass Lake
Park Preserve in 2021, additional
tree removal by the city this spring
will be significantly less, the city
statement says.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Invasive plant species
and how to get rid of them
To the editor:
We’re from Hopkins North Junior High
and we wanted to share some information
with our local community about invasive
plant species. Minnesota is full of sev-
eral species of invasive plants that don’t
belong here. They outcompete all the na-
tive plants in the vicinity, killing them and
harming the diversity of our ecosystems.
We are looking to inform the community
about this problem. Spreading the facts
will enable more people to be able to iden-
tify these plants and know how to get rid
of them.
While the Creeping Charlie was most
likely brought to the U.S. for medical or
food reasons, it is an invasive species. In
lawns or gardens, they are considered
weeds. The Creeping Charlie is spread by
vegetative means and with seeds. To con-
trol it, you can plant shade tolerant grass.
This will control the Creeping Charlie
because the grass can beat the its shade
tolerance. You could also mow your grass
to around three inches, trim your other

St. Louis Park School Board approves Aug. 9 referendum

Primary date viewed
as increasing odds
of success for bond
projects, tech levy
By SETH ROWE
seth.rowe@apgecm.com
St. Louis Park School District voters
will consider a $135 million bond refer-
endum and an increased technology levy
in August after the school board unani-
mously approved the ballot measures last
week.
All seven seats on the board were filled
for the first time in months after swearing
in newly appointed members Sarah Davis
and Virginia Mancini April 12.
The bond referendum would in part go
to fund projects originally envisioned as
part of a 2017 vote. Inflation, code issues
and other concerns led to escalating costs
and prevented the district from complet-
ing all plans, despite progress made on
renovations in schools.
The referendum includes $35.1 million
in carryover projects from the last refer-
endum. Additionally, it would provide
$44.4 million for deferred maintenance,
$21.5 million for additional building ren-
ovations, $14.5 million for security up-
grades and $19.5 million for playground
and track-and-field changes.
Director of Business Services Patricia
Magnuson indicated that if the refer-
endum were not successful, the district
would have to pay for some construction
costs, such as roof repairs, from its gen-
eral fund.
“We’re already making significant re-
ductions for next year to keep our general
fund balanced, and we can’t afford to take
costs out of the general fund when there’s
another way,” Magnuson said. “So, we’d
like to ask our community if they agree
to use that other way.”
At the same time, voters would consider
a 10-year renewal of the technology levy,
formally called the capital project levy.
The levy would be increased by $500,000.
The votes are scheduled Tuesday, Aug.
9, the same date as a primary election.
The district could have selected the gen-
eral election date of Tuesday, Nov. 8, in-
stead, Magnuson noted.
“It’s just a question of, I guess, prefer-
ence in some ways and chances for suc-
cess and really knowledgeable voters,”
Magnuson said. “On Aug. 9, there won’t
be as many things on the ballot compet-
ing for the attention of our community.
Understanding it’s the summer, it will
be our job to make sure we get really in-
formed voters to the polls.”
More voters may turn out in Novem-
ber who the district would not be able to
reach about the importance of the ballot
questions, she added.
“Chances of success are probably bet-
ter in August when we can make sure that
we can get to the voters that are showing
up,” Magnuson said. “It’s just a smaller
population of voters, and that’s a tradi-
tional belief and understanding around
school district elections.”
Magnuson said the district had cut out
some proposals for the referendum.
“If it’s not going to have an impact on
kids, it’s not going to be on this list,” Mag-
nuson said. “It’s going to stabilize costs
and conserve energy over time, which we
have to do in our tight operating costs.
It’s going to help us maintain core opera-
tions so we can continue to provide swim-
ming, continue to provide track, continue
to provide education in buildings, where
the boiler will work every day, and to im-
prove our safety and security.”
The district will ask voters to approve
the technology levy a year before it is set
to expire, giving the district another year
to seek approval if it does not pass in
August.
“If we don’t do this, we either have
to quit using technology – because our
entire technology program is funded out
of this – or we have to find money in the
general fund and cut something else in
order to maintain our technology pro-
gram,” Magnuson said.
If approved, the technology levy would
increase to about $3.4 million annually.
According to a district estimate, tax-
es for the owner of a home valued at
$331,800 would increase by $18 annually
as a result of the technology levy renew-
al. Taxes for the owner of the same house
would increase by another $209 annually
should the bond referendum pass.
“That’s not peanuts,” Magnuson ac-
knowledged. “We wouldn’t bring some-
thing like this forward, particularly in
these economic conditions, if we didn’t
think these were really important items
for our students.”
Board Chair Anne Casey agreed.
“It feels like a big ask,” Casey said.
However, she said asking voters for ap-
proval is part of the public process.
She concluded, “Now our job is to go
out and educate the voters on what it is
we need, so the work begins.”

ditional speakers along-
side Hanlon, including
U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar,
U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips
and Hopkins Historical

Romportl. Hopkins Wes-
twind Concert Band also

also shared history about
Hopkins and its people.
Omar touched on her fa-

“Let’s preserve the old.
Let’s not forget it, because
when we do that’s when we
get in trouble. We’ve got
an extraordinary history
in this country, filled with
conflict and division, great
success stories, great trag-
edies. A lot of that we have
to fix, but (we have) a lot to
be grateful for and a lot to
be hopeful and optimistic
about,” he said.
Reaction from
the City Council
Councilmember Heidi
Garrido said, “I think this
is fantastic. I think it was
definitely worth the hype of
keeping a secret... Just add-
ing that little bit of value,
the historic designation, it
really will make Hopkins
stand out. Like we’re aim-
ing to be more of a destina-
tion, a tourist destination
coming up in the next few
years with light rail and
what have you, and I think
this historic designation
will really add to that. I’m
very excited.”
“As a business owner on
Mainstreet and as a coun-
cilmember, I’m very excited
that Hopkins has a desig-
nated commercial historic
district. This can help a lot
of the business owners and
building owners on Main-
street grow, expand and up-
date their buildings,” Coun-
cilmember Alan Beck said.
Councilmember Brian
Hunke said, “I’m super
excited for the amount of
people that showed up, es-
pecially because it’s at noon
on a Tuesday. And I think
that this announcement is
great for the city of Hopkins.
I think it’s going to put us
on the map even more and
I think that what’s special
about it is that it includes
a historic street, the whole
street, rather than just one
building. So I think Hop-
kins is special in that way
in that we have such deep,

Mutanga’s mother told
officers he had came to her
home asking for his ID and
food. Initially, his mother
told him to leave because
he was supposed to be ei-
ther in the workhouse or at
treatment.
Mutanga’s mother even-
tually gave him food, and
as he finished eating, she
asked him to leave.
Mutanga became upset
and brandished a kitchen
knife. His mother took
away the knife and threat-
ened to call the police.
Mutanga “picked up
a different kitchen knife,
stood directly in front of
(his mother), raised the
knife, pointed the knife at
her chest, and threatened
to kill her,” the criminal
complaint states. The
mother then fled the house
with one of her children
and called the police.
Officers knocked on
the door of the home, an-
nouncing their presence.
The aunt of the children
answered the door while
holding the infant.
As officers looked into
the home, they saw Mu-
tanga standing at the end
of a hallway. He began
moving toward the front
door, hiding his hand and
ignoring orders to stop.
As he approached the
adult female, who was still
holding a child, officers
saw he was holding a large
knife. An officer grabbed
Mutanga’s right arm as
he began lunging toward
the woman, who was now
huddling over the child in
an effort to protect them.
The officer knocked a
14-inch long knife from
Mutanga’s hand. Multi-
ple officers then struggled
with Mutanga, attempting
to restrain him. Officers
discharged a Taser in the
struggle.

the department said in a

Women – the musical,” is
scheduled for 7 p.m. April

formance at 2:30 p.m. April

Hopkins High School.
Based on Louisa May

March. Jo is trying to sell

(both lived and imagined),
heartbreak, and a deep
sense of hope, the struggle
of these “Little Women” to
find their own voices mir-
rors the growing pains of
a young America.
Hopkins students all
serve in a variety of roles
as actors, stage managers,
production and technical
crew.
Hopkins Royal Produc-
tions director Tim Wil-
liams said, “I’m excited to
bring this musical to Hop-

Robotics Team heading to

The Technocrats

The Hopkins Robot-
ics Team, dubbed the
Technocrats, is heading
(SUN PHOTOS BY NATALIE CIERZAN) to both a global compe-
On the Hopkins Robotics Team, tition from April 20-23
each team member plays a in Houston and a state
different role in ensuring their competition on May 7 at
success. the University of Minne-
sota’s Williams Arena.
The team of 20 will face
off against competitors
from all over the country
and around the world, in-
cluding some from China,
Brazil, Turkey and Israel.
“We went into the sea-
son with the goal of mak-
ing it to playoffs at both
of our regional competi-
tions with a stretch goal
maybe of making it to
state so it was never even
in our sights to go to
worlds,” senior Siri Sage-
dahl said.
While the team was ini-
tially disappointed in the
regional competition re-
sults, they found out they
qualified as a wild card,
something they didn’t
know was possible. The
Technocrats had won sec-
ond place in both of their
regional competitions.
“It feels very surreal. I
feel really proud of every-
one on the team. I think
we put in a lot of work
and we definitely have
earned our place going
to worlds,” senior Izzy
Larson said.
Alongside that honor,
the team was also award-
ed the Entrepreneur
Award for their work to
make their team and ro-
botics accessible to their
diverse high school com-
munity.
The team first learned
the rules of this year’s
challenge, also called a
game, in January. From
then on, they met three
times a week. Team cap-
tain Henry Scheible said
they kicked off by going
over possible strategies
to play the game and de-
cided on what areas to
focus on.
Soon it was time to build
the robot, which is when
they started brainstorm-
ing the earliest forms of
the robot’s mechanisms
and formally decided on
a strategy. The Techno-
crats wanted their robot
to climb to the traversal
rung, the highest climb-
ing challenge in the game.
“It was a really new
challenge. So we came up

Water Heater Basics

HOW IT WORKS
Hot water tanks have an anode
rod, usually made from magne-
sium, aluminum, or an aluminum/
zinc alloy. Through electrolysis,
the rod attracts corrosive particles
in the water to itself, which cor-
rodes the rod. Eventually the rod
is no longer effective and corro-
sive particles destroy the lining of
the tank, which causes it to need
replacement. Replacing the rod
before it fails — usually in about
five years — can double the life
of your water heater, according to
FamilyHandyman.com. To find
out the condition of your anode
rod and decide if it needs to be
replaced, check the rod every one
to two years.
When buying a new anode rod,
keep the following tips from
FamilyHandman.com in mind.
• A magnesium rod protects
your tank better but doesn’t last
as long as an aluminum/ zinc rod.
• Aluminum/zinc rods are
cheaper and are recommended if
your water has an odor, but you
should consult a water treatment
specialist before switching to an
aluminum rod.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The following routine mainte-
nance tasks will help keep your
water heater in working order.
Check your heater’s user manual
for the steps to perform these
maintenance tasks and how often
they should be done.
• Check the pressure valve to
be sure it’s still functional.
• Flush the water tank to get
rid of sediment buildup. (A water
heater’s warranty usually requires
that you do this annually to main-
tain coverage.)
WHEN TO REPLACE
BobVila.com offers the follow-
ing list of ways to know when
your water heater needs to be
replaced.
• A banging or rumbling noise,
which can be caused by hardened
calcium buildup from hard water.
• An odd smell in hot water.
This could be caused by bacteria
or metal contaminating the water.
• A red or yellow tint to hot
water, which can signal rust.
• A drop in water temperature
or heating capacity can be caused
by sediment buildup, which can
require replacement if it goes
unchecked for too long.
• Water pooling around the base
of a water heater tank. If it’s not a
simple fitting or valve problem,
the inside of the tank could be
cracked or corroded.

Cleaning Hard-to-Reach Spots

SMALL SPACES
Dust, crumbs and hair can be
nearly impossible to remove from
between keyboard keys and in the
fine lines and awkward spaces
inside your car’s interior, such as
air conditioning vents. Just be
careful not to get it in carpets or
any other fabrics. Alternatively,
use a small foam paintbrush with
a triangular shaped edge, along
with some warm soapy water, to
clean air vents. (This works great
in your car.)
OneGoodThing.com recom-
mends forming an empty toilet
paper or paper towel roll into a
window track cleaning tool.
Attach one end to the vacuum
hose (secure with tape) and press
the sides of the other end together
to fit into the track. You could
even use this trick on sliding door
and shower door tracks.
Another great hack from this
site is to use regular kitchen tongs
to clean blinds. Attach a microfi-
ber cleaning cloth loosely over
the ends of the tongs, secure with
a rubber band and use it to clean
both sides of blind slats at once.
Similarly, wrap the end of a but-
ter knife with a microfiber cloth,
secure with a rubber band, and use
it to clean the openings of HVAC
registers (don’t forget air intakes).
AWKWARD SPACES
A garbage disposal is incredi-
bly useful but notoriously diffi-
cult to clean. It’s oddly shaped
and inaccessible. You might know
you can toss in some citrus peels
or ice cubes to freshen up the dis-
posal quickly from time to time,
but to deep clean this awkward
space, try this process. Turn off
the electrical breaker. Spray a
foaming cleaner such as
Scrubbing Bubbles into the dis-
posal, being careful to lift the
rubber flaps (wear rubber gloves).
Let it sit for 5 minutes. Then use
a bottle brush to scrub the bottom
surface as well as the underside of
the rubber flaps. Rinse and run
the disposal with cold water.
Repurpose old toothbrushes
for cleaning oddly shaped or tight
spots between faucet levers, hair
dryer vents or the dishwasher fil-
ter, or even detail your cheese
grater, waffle iron or toaster.
The floor behind the toilet is
always a tricky spot to access.
ThisOldHouse.com recommends
using a separate toilet scrubbing
brush (not the one you use to clean
inside) to scrub this area. Even
better, steam the area with a steam
cleaner first to loosen grime.

Spring is the time to sharpen and
repair tools, get the shed in order,
plant bulbs and start your compost
pile. Here are some tips to get you
started.
SHED AND TOOLS
You could find some nasty sur-
prises lurking inside your garden
shed in spring, especially if it isn’t
lighted or heated during the winter.
Rodents or other animals could
have made their home there, or the
structure might have suffered a leak
or exposure to the elements. Once
it’s warm enough, venture into the
shed to make any necessary repairs.
While you’re there, sharpen
tools with blades, such as shears,
loppers and pruners, with a mill
file, and oil those with moving
parts. If any tools still have last
year’s dirt or mud on them, remove
it with a garden hose and clean
them in warm, soapy water. This
will help prevent the spread of
disease. Give the wheelbarrow a

sure you have fertilizers and soil
amendments on hand for the sea-
son. Some supplies such as grass
seed, might not hold up over time,
so dispose of old product and
replace it with new.
PLANT AND DIVIDE
Spring is the time not only to
plant new bulbs for summer and
fall blooms but to divide any peren-
nials that have gotten overgrown or
crowded. Dividing them now will
allow them to re-establish them-
selves in a new location and put
down strong roots by the winter. In
general, fall-blooming plants are
best divided in the spring, but some
plants should be divided just after
they flower. Be sure to consult with
your local extension office for your
plants’ needs.

Recruiting for the team
Herzog was proud of
the team’s work and fo-
cus on diversity, equity
and inclusion this year.
“STEM is known for
not matching the demo-
graphics of our society
and so the work they do,
not just in terms of get-
ting our team to look like
our school, but also mak-
ing sure that it’s an inclu-
sive and welcoming en-
vironment for everyone
regardless of what their
preconceived notions are
about how much they
have to contribute to the
team,” he said.
Prior to the pandem-
ic, the Technocrats had
worked a lot with el-
ementary school teams
to drive up their inter-
est. Larson was one team
member who mentored a
group of third graders at
Eisenhower Elementary.
Many younger robotics
teams have disappeared
and they’re hoping to
bring more of them back.
“We want to get those
back up and running,
because every one of
the students on the team
goes, ‘man, I wish I’d
started this sooner,’”
Herzog said. The team is
hosting an open house on
April 26 at Eisenhower
Elementary for interest-
ed parents, elementary
and junior high students.
Larson emphasized
that joining the team
didn’t require any previ-
ous experience. Students
could show up and the
team would help them
the rest of the way.
“A big goal of our team
this year and something
that I’m personally re-
ally proud of our team
for, is our work in diver-
sity, equity and inclusion.
And so it feels like we’re
working to dismantle
that stigma that robot-
ics is scary and only for
smart people,” Sagedahl
said.
Nathan Kruse is one
of two freshmen on the
team and joined after be-
ing a part of robotics in
seventh grade.
“It’s a really fun expe-
rience. It’s team building,
you make a lot of friends.
It’s really for anyone.
You don’t even need very
much prior experience
because you learn so
much of it here. I didn’t
really know much about
programming, building
stuff… now I know quite
a bit,” he said. “I think
if anybody is interested
they should join.”

Hopkins plays ‘long ball’ in baseball wins

By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Home runs helped Hop-
kins High post wins in its
first two 2022 baseball
games.
Senior shortstop Mad-
dox Mihalakis hit the ball
out of the park in the 12th
inning to end a marathon
battle with Chanhassen
4-3. And in the next game,
a 15-12 win over Arm-
strong, Drew Charney hit
a towering, opposite-field
home run.
Describing the home
run that beat Chanhas-
sen, coach Mihalakis said,
“Maddox had a 3-and-0
count, we gave him the
green light and he hit it
out.”
“We’re a little bit thin-
ner with pitching this year,
so we have to hit to win
games,” Hopkins head
coach Jason Mihalakis
said. “At this point it’s
nice to be 2-0 with a win
over a section opponent
[Armstrong]. The way we
pulled out the win against
Chanhassen carried over
and helped us in the Arm-
strong game.”
There were a total of 28
hits in the Hopkins-Arm-
strong game April 11 on
the turf field at Hopkins
High. Armstrong had 15
of those hits, three of them
by Jacob Cisewski, who
had three RBIs.
Five players each had
two of Hopkins’ 13 hits
- Charney, Paul Safran-
ski, Jake Mausser, Charlie
Schaefer and Aaron Aune.
Maddox Mihalakis, Gabe
Olson and Chase Johnson
each had one hit.
Charney scored four
runs and Schaefer crossed
home plate three times.
“With our pitching staff,
we’re trying to find out who
can go two innings, who
can go three,” coach Mi-
halakis said. His ace in the
hole is the fact Gabe Olson
is a seven-inning pitcher.
At least he will be when
warm weather arrives. Ol-
son pitched Hopkins to
second place in the State
American Legion Tour-
nament last summer, and
then the Royals went on to
take runner-up honors in
the Central Plains Legion
Regional. (SUN PHOTO BY JOHN SHERMAN)

After tough opener, Park baseball eager to resume season

By JASON OLSON
jason.olson@apgecm.com
St. Louis Park baseball
dodged less-than-ideal
weather to get the season-
opener on April 11 with a
3-0 loss at Metro West foe
Chaska.
Park sent out Gophers
prospect Kristofer Ho-
kenson to the mound
for the opener going five
strong innings after giv-
ing up two runs in the
first inning. Junior Ste-
fano Giovanelli worked
through the final inning
in relief.
After beating Chaska’s
Noah Kemp twice last
season, the St. Thomas
commit kept the Orioles’
bats in check through six
innings. Park rallied in
the seventh inning but
couldn’t translate the suc-
cess into runs.
“There was a lot to like
defensively and pitching-
wise to make us super
happy,” coach Brian Kelly
said. “Offensively, pitch-
ing is ahead of the batters
this early in the season.”
Kelly admitted it’s
tough to get into a rhythm
with only one game a
week.
Park has several fa-
miliar faces throughout
the lineup starting with
hockey standouts Stanley
Regguinti and Ben Farley
as a solid one-two punch
at the top of the order.
“They bring that hock-
ey-player mentality to the
field and are great lead-
ers,” Kelly said.
Captains for the Ori-
oles include Hokenson,
Regguinti, Farley and
Giovanelli. Add in seniors
like Henry Odens, Tait
Myers, Brady Walsh and
Jacob Favour with juniors
Hank Bendickson, Zach
Helfman and Zach John-
son to give the Orioles a
group of season varsity
athletes who know what it
takes to be successful on
the football field, basket-
ball court or cross country
trail.
Look for Walsh to con-
tribute at the corner infield
positions when he isn’t
pitching.
A pre-pandemic tradi-
tion of the spring break
trip to Arizona resumed
in March after missing the
last two years. Kelly said
the trip was a new adven-
ture for all of them after
missing the 2019 season
entirely and the restric-
tions on the 2020 season.
In maybe a precursor of
how the weather has not
cooperated with spring
sports, Park’s scrimmage
against Burnsville was
rained out. “That was a
first for me, to be rained
out in Arizona so instead
of four straight days of
baseball it was three,” he
said. “We didn’t get every-
thing out of it in a base-
ball sense but we did a lot
of the team-bonding stuff
like cookouts, mini-golf,
an escape room, watched
an Arizona State game,
and some other team-ori-
entated stuff. It was a lot
of fun.”
In addition to some fa-
miliar names back in the
lineup, junior Andruw
Vela started the opener
at third base along with
sophomore pitcher Danny
Montanez who will see
meaningful innings on the
mound. Look for sopho-
more Graham Sullivan to
also make an impact on
the lineup.
“We have a good mix of
guys working really hard
who are ready to help us
right now,” Kelly said.
Look for Helfman and
Myers to share the catch-
ing duties behind the plate
and when Helfman isn’t
catching, he will be the
designated hitter in the
clean-up spot to keep his
bat alive.
Regguinti had two hits
against Chaska and Sul-
livan picked up his first
varsity hit.

Red Knights baseball is off to a 2-1 start

By JASON OLSON
jason.olson@apgecm.com
Andy Judkins picked up
his 50th career win with
Benilde-St. Margaret’s
baseball in a 5-4 walk-off
victory over Jefferson to be-
gin the season on April 11.
The Red Knights won
2-of-3 games last week in-
cluding a 7-2 win at Delano
on April 13 before falling to
St. Thomas Academy 6-1
back in St. Louis Park on
Saturday afternoon.
The 5-4 win over Jeffer-
son, it was Ben Thomp-
son’s walk-off single which
proved to be the difference
to win the season (and con-
ference) opener. Senior out-
fielder/shortstop Ben James
hit a home run in the fifth
inning to build a 5-2 lead.
Pitcher Owen Omdahl
pitched five strong innings
to put the Red Knights in
a position to be competitive
at the end of the game.
After posting a 17-8 re-
cord in 2021, BSM not
only finished second in the
Metro West Conference but
The Red Knights come
into 2022 after finishing
second in the Metro West
Conference and Section
6AAA. The season ended
with a 9-1 loss to Willmar
in the section final.
This spring, BSM has
three starters back includ-
ing two pitchers with at least
15 innings of work includ-
ing seniors Owen Plourde
and Owen Omdahl.
They lost five starters,
including two pitchers with
more than 15 innings of
work, to create opportuni-

more Caleb Koskie and ju-
nior Easton Breyfogle.
Koskie is an Indiana
commit who will split time
between the outfield and
pitching.
Breyfogle is an outfielder
who is committed to Ari-
zona.
Seniors Ben James and
Tomas Lee are two of the se-
niors back. Both will see time
in the outfield in addition to
first base (Lee) and shortstop
(James). Lee plans to play

Track powers gather

for Hopkins Invitational
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Six of the premier track
schools in the metro area
will compete in the Hop-
kins Invitational, begin-
ning at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday,
April 26, at Hopkins High
Stadium.
Rosemount, the defend-
ing state champion in boys
and girls track, heads the
list of competitors. Hop-
kins and Edina will repre-
sent the Lake Conference.
Farmington, Mounds
View and St. Michael-Al-
bertville will also be there.
“It should be an out-
standing meet,” Hopkins
boys coach Nick Lovas
said.
In the Lake Conference
Relays April 13 at Eden
Prairie’s Aerie Stadium,
the Hopkins boys and
girls teams were competi-
tive.
“Our distance and mid-
dle-distance runners are
the core of the boys team,”
Lovas said.
Sophomore Tony
Provenzano’s time of
4:32.37 in the 1600 was
good for second place
behind Jadon Boots of
Buffalo. Hopkins won
the 4x400-meter relay and
the 4x800-meter relay.
The 400 team consisted
of freshman Isaac Sand-
ers and seniors Gabriel
Hirshman, Samuel Gaus-
mann and Kaden Kreien-
brink. The 800 team in-
cluded Gausmann, junior
Suhayb Ali, Provenzano
and sophomore Tristan
Schmanski.
The top highlight in
field events for the Royal
boys team was Khalen
Pierre-Toussaint’s second
place in the triple jump
with a best of 39 feet, 1.25
inches.
Hirshman was second to
Edina’s Joe Manser in the
100-meter dash. Manser
ran 11.18 to Hirshman’s
11.49. Ali gave Hopkins
fourth place in the 1600
with a time of 4:38.50.
“When you gradu-
ate athletes like we had
last year [including state
champions George Jack-
son and Sam Duffing],
there is an opportunity
for others to step up,” Lo-
vas said. “We did rebound
with numbers this year
with about 100 out for the
team. When you look at
a new season, you don’t
try to replace people, you (SUN PHOTO BY JOHN SHERMAN)

Hopkins girls track led

by distance runners
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Hopkins High’s girls
track and field team will
face the top three finishers
in last year’s State Meet in
the Hopkins Invitational,
which begins at 3:30 p.m.
Tuesday, April 26.
Defending state champ
Rosemount, 2021 runner-
up St. Michael-Albertville
and Edina, which tied for
third, are ready for what
should be one of the fast-
est meets of the spring.
“Our invitational is al-
ways a fun meet,” Hop-
kins head coach Andrea
Yesnes said. “Hopefully,
we’ll have some warm
weather.”
Last week, in the Lake
Relays at Eden Prairie,
the temperature never got
above 39 in a meet that
lasted more than three
hours. The athletes at least
had access to warmth, as
they could gather inside
the EP Activity Center
between events.
“We have done a lot of
adjusting with the cold
weather,” Yesnes said. The
cold has affected not only
meets, but also practices.
“We are trying to make
sure everyone gets a good
warmup,” Yesnes noted.
Hopkins’ best event in
the Lake Relays was the
sprint medley relay, which
they won with Jahzarah
Hall, Camryn McNeal,
Xiao Que Snope and
Sydney Drevlow . The
Royals finished second in
the 4x800 relay behind an
Edina team that had the
fastest time in the state
last season. Senior Elsa
Bergman, juniors Livia
Hernke and Marguerite
Giese and ninth-grade
sensation Drevlow car-
ried the baton for Hop-
kins, posting a time of
10:04.83.
Another bright spot for
Hopkins was third place
in the long jump by Lil-
lian Wanzek, who went
over the 15-foot mark.
“We had three pole-
vaulters clear eight feet,”
said Yesnes, referring Ge-
anessa Reglos, Annabelle
Spears and Sophia Water-
man. (SUN PHOTO BY JOHN SHERMAN)

Bridge to equality is long one for Minnesota girls

By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
When Minnetonka
High’s longtime girls track
and cross country coach
Jane Reimer-Morgan was
growing up in mid-state
Minnesota in the late 1960s
and early 1970s, opportu-
nities for young girls inter-
ested in sports were hard to
find.
“I want the girls I coach
now to know where we
started,” Reimer-Morgan
said in an interview last
week.
Reimer-Morgan’s intro-
duction to sports came close
to home. Her dad John was
a high school boys coach
with three daughters. Once
he noticed his daughters’
desire to compete, he drove
them to track meets, mostly
in South Dakota. “My sis-
ters and I were lucky that
way,” Reimer-Morgan said.
Gaining Momentum
Once the Reimer girls en-
tered high school, Title IX
was beginning to gain mo-
mentum, but programs for
girls were limited and not
always well-funded.
“I remember we started
out wearing gym suits, and
by my senior year we had
one uniform for all three
seasons that we used for
basketball, volleyball and
track,” Reimer-Morgan
said. “The boys had a dif-
ferent uniform for each
season. When I was in high
school, equality for space
was the biggest challenge.
And the pay for men and
women coaches was not
equal at the get-go. But
we were playing, and that’s
what we wanted.”
Reimer-Morgan was an
outstanding high school
athlete, who went on to
play three sports for Bemi-
dji State University. When
she graduated in 1977,
there was no hesitation to
enter the education field as
a teacher and coach. Her
older sister Karla and her
younger sister Trish both
played with Reimer-Mor-
gan on teams at Pillager
High School.
All three sisters became
head girls sports coaches.
“We were the pioneers,
and it was never easy,”
Reimer-Morgan said about
her fellow coaches in 1970s
Minnesota girls sports.
Reimer-Morgan pushed
forward from the 1970s to a
better situation in the 1980s,
when more an more women
were becoming head coach-
es in high school sports. She
had a chance to assist Hall-
of-Fame coach and Bob
Rogness as a young teacher
in the Minnetonka school
district. She would later
take over from Rogness as

Marnie Wheaton stands alone in Gopher tennis

By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Since the inception of
the University of Min-
nesota women’s tennis
program at the beginning
of the Title IX era, many
notable players have worn
the Maroon & Gold, in-
cluding state high school
champions, prep All-
Americans and interna-
tional stars.
Yet one player stands
out above the rest - the
1974 Minnetonka High
graduate from Cottage-
wood, Marnie Wheaton.
Chances are her re-
cords with the Gophers
will never be broken.
Wheaton is the all-time
Gophers career leader in
singles victories with 122.
No one else has more
than 94. Her other seem-
ingly unbreakable mark
is 212 total victories. In
addition to her 122 sin-
gles wins, Wheaton had
90 doubles victories. She
still shares the record for
most singles victories in a
season, 36.
Wheaton won a Big Ten
Conference singles title
and led the Gophers to a
Big Ten team champion-
ship. It’s not that others
haven’t had time to match
Wheaton’s records. She
graduated from the U of
M in 1979.
As an athlete who came
along fairly early in the
Title IX era, Wheaton will
never forget the opportu-
nities she had.
“I am very thankful for
Title IX,” she said last
week. “I was happy to be
part of that, close to the
beginning.”
Playing against boys
Wheaton never played
on the girls tennis team
at Minnetonka High. In-
stead, she played on the
boys team in 1974, when
the Skippers won the state
team title. She was not in
the lineup for any of the
matches at state, but post-
ed a winning record dur-
ing the regular season.
Her brother Mark was
her teammate on the 1974
championship team.
“Matches consisted of
five points then - three
singles and two doubles,”
Mark remembered. “Allyn
Dart, Solomon Yohannes
and I played singles. We
had a combined singles
record of 71-1 for the sea-
son. Marnie played No.
3 singles when I moved
over to doubles. Any time
she stepped on the court
against boys, the boys
knew they would have to
face the student body the
next day if they lost to a
girl. Marnie added a dif-
ferent twist to our team
and fit in with everyone
else.”
Mark and Marnie both
played in summer tourna-
ments in the Northwest
Tennis Association.
“Marnie and I over-
lapped at the University of
Minnesota,” Mark said.
“She had a great career
after playing for Arizona
in her freshman year.”
Her steady game
What made Marnie
Wheaton an outstanding
player at the college level?
“Her height and power
and steadiness of mind,”
Mark said. “She didn’t
complicate the way she
played, and she never beat
herself.”
At the time Marnie com-
pleted her college tennis
career, the prize money on
the pro circuit was not a
fraction of what it is today.
“Marnie had all the abil-
ity and the mental skills,
but I don’t think profes-
sional tennis ever entered
her mind,” Mark observed.
“Once when I mentioned
to Marnie that she had
the record for victories at
the University, she didn’t
even know that. When
she played in college, her
game was similar to Chris
Evert’s.”
Evert, an American
player approximately the
same age as Marnie Whea-
ton, earned almost $9 mil-
lion in professional tennis,
endorsements not includ-
ed, and is a member of the
International Tennis Hall
of Fame.
One of Mark’s best
memories of tennis was
competing alongside
Marnie in mixed doubles
matches. They had the type
of chemistry on the court
that only a brother and sis-
ter can have.
Family influence
Family has always been
essential in Marnie Whea-
ton’s success.
She gives credit to her
grandfather, John Hesse,
and her parents, Bruce and
Mary Jane Wheaton, for
introducing her to athlet-
ics at an early age.
“My grandfather was
born in 1998 and died in
2001, so he lived in three
centuries,” Wheaton said.
“He was a man ahead of
his time - self-motivated,
self-disciplined and self-
taught. He got the Whea-
ton kids interested in life-
long sports like tennis and
swimming, not so much for
the competition as for the
enjoyment.”
The Wheatons gravitat-
ed toward tennis. Broth-
ers Mark, John and David
all played for Minnetonka
High, and David went on
to have a distinguished
career on the pro tour.
He made the semifinals at
Wimbledon.

earned her place in the
University of Minnesota

and is now in her mid-60s,

Steady improvement
Talking about her experi-
ence as an athlete growing
up with Title IX, the Min-
netonka girls coach saw
progress.
“Each year, it got a little
bit better,” Reimer-Morgan
said.
Before long, female ath-
letes in Minnesota were
wearing brand new uni-
forms and sharing gym
space equally with the boys.
When girls sports began
at the high school level in
1971-72, one athletic direc-
tor in the Lake Conference
told the female athletes:
“You’ll practice when the
boys are finished. Not be-
fore.”
That kind of thinking
had to take a backseat to
fairness.
Dorothy McIntyre, the
Minnesota State High
School League associate
director for more than 30
years, described what it was
like for some of the early
teams in the Title IX era: “I
know one team that started
with one volleyball. The
true heroes were the early
women coaches. At first, it
was, you’re the track coach,
her’s your rule book. You’re
the gymnastics coach, here’s
your rule book.”
Many pioneer women
coaches had been denied
the opportunity to play var-
sity sports when they were
in high school, so they were
learning right along with
the girls they coached.
Bloomington was one
school district that had ear-
ly success in girls sports, but
proper recognition wasn’t
part of the package.
Sisters Stacy (Godwin)
Lemke and Wendy (God-
win) Phillips were back to
back Athena Award win-
ners at Kennedy High in
1977 and 1978. However,
their sports resumes lack
all-conference awards. “We
didn’t have all-conference
teams then,” Stacy said.
But there were state-
wide awards. Wendy was
a two-year WCCO Radio
All-State basketball player.
Stacy played on a state run-
ner-up volleyball team in
1974 and set a school record
in the 100-yard hurdles.
Delayed acclaim
The first great athlete
for Bloomington Jefferson
High, Laura Gardner, per-
formed during the same era.
To this day, the records
she set at Jefferson are un-
equaled. Gardner earned
varsity letters in tennis, bas-
ketball softball and track.
During the 1978 State Class
AA Girls Basketball Tour-
nament, when she went 22-
for-22 from the free throw
line with 78 points in three
games. The Jaguars finished
24-0 and Gardner earned
the Miss Basketball of Min-
nesota Award.
There was one huge eq-
uity situation involving
Gardner. Even though she
graduated from high school
in 1978, it took 29 years for
her to be inducted into the
Jefferson Hall of Fame.
Eyes are opened
McIntyre said nobody
should gloss over the strug-
gles coaches and athletes
had in the early years of
Title IX.
“As money flowed into
[school district] budgets,
opportunities for girls im-
proved,” she said. “Title IX
opened eyes to changes that
needed to be made.”
Coach Reimer-Morgan
agreed, adding, “Every-
thing has improved over the
course of 50 years. When
Title IX began, female ath-
letes were itching to com-
pete, and I am pleased we
had the opportunity.”
Few women have given
back more than Reimer-
Morgan and her sisters.
“Combined, the three of
us have coached for more
than 100 years,” Jane Re-
imer Morgan said. “Karla
retired after 46 years - all
at Pierz High School. This
is my 46th year, and before
Minnetonka, I coached at
Brainerd, Staples, Parkers
Prairie and Breck. Trish is
the track and cross country
coach at Becker. Prior to
that, she coached at Princ-
eton and Rockford. Karla
and I were fortunate to get
our feet in the door early.”
Trish changed careers
and joined the teaching and
coaching ranks later than
her older sisters.

St. Louis Park-based company provides tech for at-home care

By SETH ROWE
seth.rowe@apgecm.com
A St. Louis Park-based company has
launched an in-home digital system of
health care.
HealtheMed displayed the system last
month at the Minnesota Social Service
Association Training Conference and
Expo in Minneapolis. The system is
“dedicated to breaking down access to
care barriers for Medicaid waivered par-
ticipants,” according to the company.
The Minnesota Department of Hu-
man Services has approved the com-
pany’s technological system, which it
dubbed Clinic@Home.
The system “enables the state’s most
vulnerable and often overlooked citi-
zens to remain independent longer be-
cause care services are made available
via technology installed in their homes,”
the company said in a statement last
month.
CEO Thomas Spencer said “Due to
medical, social, and financial condi-
tions, many Medicaid-waivered partici-
pants are not able to receive traditional
forms of medical care. Our digital sys-
tem of care dramatically improves the
likelihood that these members of our so-
ciety can remain independent and stable
in their homes and avoid ER visits and
facility admissions. This is not only good
for the participants, but it also reduces
the total cost of care for this popula-
tion that has historically represented a
significant portion of the state’s annual
Medicaid spending.”
The system includes a 50-inch smart
TV, an automated medication dispenser
and remote patient monitoring devices
ordered by doctors. The devices can in- icaid waivered partici- working with the Min- calling 952-562-1235.

during the telemedicine visit to make it
more effective.”
The system allows county case man-
agers working with Medicaid-waivered
clients to coordinate their support, the
statement adds.
The company gained $1.2 million
in funding from Panoramic Ventures,
OCA Ventures and other investors like
Bob Schulz, co-founder and partner
emeritus of Health Enterprise Partners,
the company announced in another
statement April 4.
The round of funding is “designed to
help the company expand awareness for
its digital care service offerings that en-

to remain independent longer.”
The Clinic@Home system is available
at no cost for Medicaid-waivered par-
ticipants through funding from the Min-
nesota Department of Human Services. Which holiday season is it again?
