At its April 25 meeting,
the Plymouth City Coun-
cil adopted a set of stra-
tegic themes to commit
to for the upcoming 1-3
years of their elected ser-
vice. One of these themes
was a commitment to re-
maining a city of choice
for residents through di-
versity, equity, and inclu-
sion and other efforts.
In response, the city

Those who fish in the
Lake Minnetonka area
will soon have less help
baiting their hooks.
Wayzata Bait & Tackle
is set to close in the com-
ing months after serving
the local fishing com-
munity for nearly half a
century. The owner of the
strip mall where the shop
sits has plans to tear down
the building to make way
for a car dealership.
The owners of the
shop, brothers Tim and
Bob Sonenstahl, grew
up in Wayzata. Their fa-
ther Archie Sonenstahl
opened the small business
along U.S. Highway 12 in
1975. Bob was just out of
high school when he be-
gan working at the new
store. Tim was only 12
when he started helping.
“I’d ride my bike down
here after school and
work and then Bob would
throw my bike in the back
of his truck and drop me
off,” Tim said.
The business grew and
then held steady for many
years as the shop drew a

Wayzata High student named U.S. Presidential Scholar

Matthew Chen included in
the 59th class of scholars
By JASON JENKINS
jason.jenkins@apgecm.com
Wayzata High School senior Matthew
Chen has earned the prestigious title of
U.S. Presidential Scholar.
Chen and 160 other students were
named to the 59th class of U.S. Presi-
dential Scholars, which was announced
on May 10 by U.S. Secretary of Educa-
tion Miguel Cardona.
The other Minnesotan named to the
class was Maple Grove Senior High
School student Stavya Arora.
Chen was among four Wayzata High
School students who were named semi-
finalists for the U.S. Presidential Schol-
ars program. The other students were
Michelle Cao, Sidarth Gazula and Neev
Mangal. The four students were among
only nine semifinalists from Minnesota
and 628 nationally.
The annual honors program is put to-
gether by the White House Commission

on Presidential Scholars, which selects
students based on their academic suc-
cess, artistic and technical excellence, es-
says, school evaluations and transcripts,
as well as a demonstrated commitment
to community service and leadership.
The 2023 scholars are comprised of
one young man and one young woman
from each state, the District of Columbia
and Puerto Rico, and U.S. families living
abroad, as well as 15 chosen at-large, 20
scholars in the arts and 20 scholars in
career and technical education.
Of the 3.7 million students set to grad-
uate from high school this year, more
than 5,000 candidates qualified for the
2023 awards determined by outstanding
performance on the SAT or ACT exams
or through nominations made by chief
state school officers or other partner or-
ganizations.
Chen’s outstanding exam scores – a
perfect 36 on the ACT and a nearly per-
fect 1590 on the SAT – drew the attention
of the commission.
The student has been an active mem-
ber of competitive academic teams dur-
ing his time at Wayzata High School,
helping secure several state and regional
titles for the school in Science Bowl and
the math team.
“It was a great experience. Wayzata’s a
great school. I’m really, really fortunate
to be here,” Chen said.
The student noted several teachers
who have had an especially important
impact on him over the years, including
his Science Bowl coach Amanda Laden,
AP English teacher Casey Zylla and
honors English teacher Shannon Kelly.
“Those three teachers were really great
and really influential,” Chen said.
In the fall, the young scholar will be
attending the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology with plans to study math
and artificial intelligence.
Created in 1964, the U.S. Presidential
Scholars Program has honored more
than 8,000 of the nation’s top-perform-
ing students. The program was expanded
in 1979 to recognize students who dem-
onstrate exceptional talent in the visual,
literary and performing arts. In 2015,
the program was again extended to rec-
ognize students who demonstrate ability
and accomplishment in career and tech-
nical education fields.
This year’s class of scholars will be
recognized this summer with an online
recognition program.

dential Scholars is available online at

State of the Parks:
Highlighting our
successes and sharing
optimism for the future
Recently, in my role as
the chair of the Three Riv-
ers Park District Board of
Directors, I had the honor
of presenting at the State
of the Parks Address and
Expo held at the Hyland
Hills Chalet in Blooming-
ton. The event served as
an opportunity to report
to the community, re-
view the history of what
is now Three Rivers Park
District and highlight the
preservation, recreation,
education and fiscal stew-
ardship efforts that allow
us to welcome every per-
son every day to enjoy
nature-based outdoor
recreation and education
opportunities.
I’d like to share a few
highlights of the presen-
tation.
On preservation, we
highlighted the 27,000
acres of land Three Rivers
manages within park re-
serves and regional parks
spread across five coun-
ties. Three Rivers owns
and operates seven park
reserves, and we are com-
mitted to keeping at least
80% of the land in the
park reserves as natural
habitats. In some of the
park reserves, restoration
of natural habitat means
reforesting the land. To
help accomplish this goal,
we operate a Three Rivers
nursery at Crow-Hassan
Park Reserve, ensuring
that most plantings in our
parks are grown at the
nursery. Since 1978, we

have planted more than 2
million trees in the parks.
In other parks, such
as Crow-Hassan Park
Reserve in Hanover, the
natural landscape is prai-
rie. I’m proud to say that
the Park District began re-
planting prairies in 1969,
and today we have success-
fully restored nearly 2,000
acres of prairie – which
provides critical habitat
for bullsnakes, regal fritil-
lary butterflies and other
threatened or endangered
species native to southern
and central Minnesota.
We are looking forward
to reintroducing the en-
dangered Karner blue
butterfly to Crow-Hassan
Park Reserve next year.
This will continue the im-
portant legacy of reintro-
ducing native species to
the region, including our
critical role in the re-es-
tablishment of trumpeter
swans and osprey to the
Twin Cities metro area.

Crucial details omitted from
press release on graduation rates
The Minnesota Depart-
ment of Education’s April
25 press release about high
school graduation rates
left out something very
important. MDE noted
an overall 0.2 percentage
point increase in students
graduating in four years
from 2021 to 2022 (up
to 83.6% overall), a 2.5
percentage point increase
by American Indian stu-
dents (up to 61.1%), and
a 3.1 percentage point in-
crease by Black students
(up to 73.5%). Hispanic/
Latino rates declined by
0.2 of a percentage point.
However, MDE did not
mention that during the
pandemic some districts
changed the rules, mak-
ing it easier to graduate.
Give journalists Josh
Verges and Matt Cory
credit for explaining in
2021 in a Forum article
(https://bit.ly/3LCKCaL)
that Minnesota’s gradu-
ation rules were modified
in some districts. This
month, in conversations
with me, Minnesota’s
two largest districts con-
firmed that because of
MDE’s pandemic-related
recommendations, they
converted failing grades
to passing, and in one
case, reduced the number
of courses required to
graduate.
All this matters. We
need accurate informa-
tion about Minnesota’s
students and public
schools. We want stu-

dents not only graduat-
ing, but graduating with
skills they need to be suc-
cessful.
Educators, students,
and families faced in-
credible, new challenges
during the COVID-19
pandemic. Many people
worked hard during the
pandemic to help students
cope. While recognizing
that some changes were
appropriate during the
pandemic, MDE should
be clear that in some
places, graduating be-
came easier.
Some districts changed
these requirements in re-
sponse to what I believe
were MDE’s well-intend-
ed recommendations. In
2020, MDE suggested
that “Districts should
continue to consider the
principle of ‘do no harm’
to avoid damage to both
students’ future educa-
tion opportunities and
struggles that students
and families will experi-
ence during this time be-

yond their control.” (This
comes from page 70 of
MDE‘s “2020-2021 Plan-
ning Guidance from Min-
nesota Public Schools,”
online at https://bit.
ly/3AAlqvc, shared with
me by Kevin Burns, MDE
communications direc-
tor.)
To understand what
happened during the
pandemic, after seeing
MDE’s April 25, 2023,
press release, I contacted
representatives of several
districts mentioned in the
2021 article. This includ-
ed Jake Von De Linde,
director of teaching and
learning, Roseville Area
Schools. He confirmed
that the district did give
50% credit, instead of
zero credit, for missing as-
signments and temporar-
ily reduced the number of
credits required for grad-
uation. District students
had to pass the number
of courses required by
the state.
In 2021, Verges also re-
ported that St. Paul Public
Schools, Minnesota’s sec-
ond largest district, made
it easier to graduate by
reducing the number of
credits required to gradu-
ate and by giving students
credit for two quarters if
they passed one. Erica
Wacker, director of St.
Paul Public Schools’ of-
fice of communications,
confirmed this.

On recreational oppor-
tunities and education, we
highlighted the 15 million
visits to Three Rivers loca-
tions last year – from skiing
and golf to bird watching,
hiking and maple syrup
programs to cycling and
equestrian activities. We
featured our commitment
to cross-country ski trails
with manufactured snow
as well as the many adap-
tive programs, engage-
ment with groups histori-
cally underrepresented in
the parks, our seven na-
ture program centers and
our summer camps. Elm
Creek and Hyland Lake
park reserves (in Maple
Grove and Bloomington,
respectively) were the first
facilities in Minnesota to
offer cross-country ski
trails with manufactured
snow. One could argue
those facilities helped to
keep Nordic skiing as a
viable high school sport
as the manufactured snow
trails virtually guaranteed
that high school teams
would be able to practice
and race even in years with
little to no natural snow.
On fiscal stewardship, we
shared certain key policies
including 1) maintaining
a top-level staff, 2) “tak-
ing care of what we have”
by avoiding unfunded de-
ferred maintenance obli-
gations, 3) collaborating
with willing governmen-
tal and nongovernmental
partners, and 4) respect-
ing the impact on prop-
erty taxpayers. We noted
the Park District’s aver-
age annual property tax
levy increase has been less
than 2% over the past de-
cade, with no increase in
the overall levy in five of
the past 10 years.
We continue to build on
our foundation of preserv-
ing natural resources and
providing nature-based
recreation and education
opportunities for all. I
couldn’t be more excited
about how we are poised
to build on past successes
by helping everyone to
connect with nature ev-
ery day, and I invite you
to visit ThreeRiversParks.
org to learn more and dis-
cover how you can con-

grams.

She explained the dis-
trict hadn’t changed “the
number of core credits
needed” to graduate but
had “reduced the num-
ber of required elective
credits.” She also wrote
that in the 2019-20 school
year, “in line with the
distance learning should
not impact students’ path-
way to graduation and to
hold students harmless
for circumstances out of
their control, all second-
ary students received a P
(Pass) grade, at a mini-
mum, for fourth quarter.
A student’s fourth quar-
ter grade was also their
final third quarter grade
for that class.” She also
explained, “No D’s or F’s
in high school were given
in the 2nd half of 2019 –
2020 school year.”
I also talked with Tony
Taschner, communications
director for Rosemount-
Apple Valley-Eagan Pub-
lic Schools, which also was
mentioned in the Forum
article. He confirmed that,
during the pandemic, stu-
dents had the option to
take courses on a pass-fail
rather than grade basis.
He said the district hadn’t
changed F’s to “pass.”

The slight progress in

But for today, two
key conclusions: First,
we should recognize the
hard, creative work many

their terms in January
2023, so we have had sev-
eral months of onboard-
ing new leaders,” she said.
“With changes in lead-
ership both at the staff
and elected official levels,
it was important to work
together and determine
our strategic priorities,
mission, and values before
we could fill key vacan-
cies The council met for a
strategic planning session
in January, and, in April,
officially confirmed four
strategic themes – one of
city of choice with a strong
commitment to equitable
and inclusive policies and
service operations.
She shared that city
staff “value a culture of
inclusion and cultivating
authentic connections
and meaningful engage-
ment experiences,” and
therefore felt it best to
create two positions that
focus on the city’s DEI
work.
“Although the job de-
scription [from the previ-
ous DEI coordinator] is
mostly unchanged, the
title has been updated to
show applicants that we
understand one person
can’t possibly be respon-
sible for all DEI work
at the city, and that they
will partner with others
to make sure DEI is built
into the work we do at
all levels of the organiza-
tion,” Timpone said.
According to the city’s
job postings, the organi-
zational development and
equity partner will “de-
velop programs and ini-
tiatives to enhance staff
capability for providing
exceptional service to the
community using a lens
of equity, inclusion and
belonging.”
In addition, this per-
son will be in charge of
“Assess[ing] learning
and development needs
of staff as they relate to
citywide priorities” and
“design or source career
development and train-
ing resources to address
gaps.”
Finally, they will be in
charge of “collect[ing]
data and provid[ing] tools
for measuring equity
and inclusion impact of
citywide policies and de-
cisions, coach and men-
tor staff as they seek to
deepen their learning and
growth, and serve as liai-
son between departments
to coordinate and amplify
the city’s outreach and en-
gagement initiatives.”
While this full-time po-
sition carries a large re-
sponsibility for the city’s
DEI efforts, the commu-
nity assistance specialist
position will provide part-
time assistance in sharing
those responsibilities.
According to the city
job posting, this position
seeks a candidate to “pro-
vide assistance to com-
munity members and the
public with accessing ser-
vices and resources to im-
prove health and safety.”
Timpone added, “Ad-
vancement of equity and
inclusion work is not
something that happens
overnight, so we’re thank-
ful that the city has built a
solid framework with eq-
uity and inclusion train-
ing and development pro-
grams for city staff and
has been implementing a
variety of outreach and
engagement initiatives in
the community over the
years. Filling these key
vacancies will continue to
assist us in achieving our
mission and goals for the
community.”
Those interested in ap-
plying for either of these
positions should apply by
May 29, according to Tim-
pone, on the employment

COMMUNITY BRIEF

Gym to help fight wife, Alissa, was diagnosed

multiple sclerosis
with fundraiser
SOTA Fitness, a small
gym in Minnetonka, has
been pushing for a big
cause close to their hearts.
Elliot Hoekstra is a coach
at SOTA Fitness, a person-
al training studio located
in Minnetonka. Hoekstra’s
with multiple sclerosis in
August 2019. With the help
of family, friends and the
community, Hoekstra has
raised nearly $20,000 for
the National MS Society,
blazing past his preliminary
goal of $15,000.
“MS is a devastating,
unpredictable disease,”
Hoekstra said. “And this
fundraiser fuels cutting-
edge research and critical
services to ensure people
affected by MS have the
resources they need to live
their best lives.”
Hoekstra’s fundraising
efforts have included sev-
eral personal and physical
challenges to help incentiv-
ize participation from his
donors. At $10,000 raised
he committed to complet-
ing his second Ironman
later this year. At $15,000,
he committed to taking
on the popular “One Chip
Challenge,” eating a single
tortilla chip made with two
of the spiciest chili peppers
in existence. A local hair
salon has agreed to do-
nate their services for the
final fundraising effort. At
$20,000 raised, Hoekstra
plans to get frosted tips,
a hairstyle from the early
2000s that peaked in popu-
larity thanks to boy bands
such as NSYNC.
SOTA Fitness owner,
Phil Schrupp, has known
Hoekstra for the past de-
cade.
“We want to do every-
thing we can to support El-
liot,” Schrupp said. “And
these fundraising efforts are
proof of the power of this
community.”
In a final push for dona-
tions, SOTA Fitness is host-
ing a free outdoor workout
and raffle 9 a.m. Saturday,
May 20 at Louisiana Oaks
Park, 3520 Louisiana Ave.
S., St. Louis Park. More
than one dozen vendors
have donated goods and
services for the raffle, which
Hoekstra and Schrupp
hope will help them reach
a push goal of $25,000. All
of the proceeds of the event
will be donated to the Na-
tional MS Society.

May Issue
EP Vietnam vet part of the Minnesota Twins Platoon
By SUE WEBBER
Contributing Writer
Tim Sather of Eden
Prairie clearly remem-
bers the day he decided
to sign up to join the U.S.
Marine Corps during the
war in Vietnam. “It was
November 1966; I’d just
turned 18,” he said. “A
buddy and I decided to
sign up.”
Their swearing-in cere-
mony was unusual, how-
ever. On June 28, 1967,
150 enlistees marched
together to center field at
the old Met Stadium and
were sworn in there.
“We were called the
Minnesota Twins Pla-
toon,” Sather said.
“From there we went to
San Diego for basic train-
ing and then the whole
ball of wax.”
According to an ac-
count of Sather’s service
from 1967-70 printed on
the Veteran’s Memorial
in Eden Prairie, “Follow-
ing boot camp, he com-
pleted Intensive Train-
ing, Guerrilla Warfare,
Artillery School and Ra-
dio School. Sather went
to Vietnam on Christmas
Day 1967, serving with
the Golf Battery 3rd
Battalion, 11th Marines,
1st Marine Division. He
also served with Charlie
Company 1st Battalion
7th Marines, 1st Marine
Division as a forward ob-
server for Golf Battery
and Air support.
“After being wounded
for a second time, Corpo-
ral Sather was sent back
to the rear area where he
distributed and handled
the mail for Headquar-
ters Battalion 11th Ma-
rines. Sather served three
years and three months
before getting an early

Discovering The Mature Lifestyle
Tim Sather is pictured holding his 19-month-old grandson, Bennett.
in September 1970.
“During his tenure, Sath-
er received two Purple
Heart Medals for wounds
received during combat.
Additionally, he also re-
ceived Expert Pistol, Ex-
pert Rifle and Vietnam
Campaign medals.”
“My last year and a half
Plymouth / Wayzata Sun Sailor
I was in Scotland aboard
a Navy ship,” Sather said.
“Primary duties were se-
curity of nuclear weap-
ons and security for the
entire ship.”
He suffered multiple
injuries while on duty in
Vietnam. “The first time
I was hit, my radio was
(SUBMITTED PHOTO)
blown off my back and
I was hospitalized for a
week,” Sather said. “They
pulled shrapnel out of my
back.”
Then in May 1968, he
was running through a
rice paddy and was blown
into the tree line. “I was
sent to Da Nang on a me-
divac and woke up nine
days later,” Sather said. “I
was put on a hospital ship
and taken to a hospital in
Japan.”
His injuries resulted
in a three-month hospi-
tal stay, during which he
had 11 surgeries, Sather
said. “I wanted to be dis-
charged, but I didn’t want
a medical discharge,” he
said. “You had to be able
to go through therapy.
The final test was having
a 27-pound sand bag on
your leg and holding the
leg up for one minute. I
passed.”
His Type 2 diabetes was
contracted from Agent
Orange during his mili-
tary service, Sather said.
Back in the Twin Cities
again, he married Veron-
ica in 1982 and the couple
has a son, a daughter,
two grandsons and two
granddaughters.
“Both of my children
are Eden Prairie High
School graduates who
played soccer, basketball
and ran track,” Sather
said. “I went to all their
games and track meets.”
He had a 34-year ca-
reer with the telephone
company in the Twin
Cities.
Sather has worked part-
time at the Ace Hardware
in Chanhassen for the last
15 years. He was a volun-
teer firefighter in Eden
Prairie for 18 years.
But memories of his
days in the service are
not forgotten. A book
published in 2014 tells
the story of the Min-
nesota Twins Platoon,
Sather said. “I’m in the
book,” he said. “It’s an
epic story of the Marines
in Vietnam. We still get
together.”
Christy Sauro Jr, au-
thor of “THE TWINS

Platoon,” made this com-
ment at the beginning of
his book:
“On June 28, 1967, a
group of over one hun-
dred young men, as well
as four young women,
were sworn into the Ma-
rine Corps at a Minneso-
ta Twins baseball game. I
was one of those young
men. We were dubbed
the ‘Twins Platoon.’ This
book tells the story of
what happened to us after
we were cheered off the
ball field. It tells of our
Marine Corps training,
our Viet Nam experienc-
es, and what happened
to us when we returned
home.”
The Minnesota Twins
Baseball organization
hosted a pre-game cer-
emony on Sept. 5, 2011,
at Target Field, in com-
memoration of the origi-
nal “Twins Platoon.”
A television special
titled “Spotlight-The
Twins Platoon,” aired
in July 2007, went on to
win a regional Emmy
for “Outstanding Docu-
mentary” and the Hatch
Award for “Outstanding
Marine Corps Documen-
tary.” The military stories
in the documentary are
taken from Sauro’s book.
A graduate of Roo-
sevelt High School in
Minneapolis, Sather is a
member of the Ameri-
can Legion, Eden Prairie
Lions, and Minnesota
Order of Purple Heart.
He also served on the
committee for the Viet-
nam memorial in Eden
Prairie. “I helped raise
money to have it built,”
Sather said. “My name is
on the wall.”
These days he’s busy
keeping up with grand-
children’s soccer, dance
and basketball activities.

World War II vet and ‘Notable Neighbor’ still going strong

By SUE WEBBER
Contributing Writer
According to the Na-
tional World War II Mu-
seum, 167,284 of the 16
million Americans who
served during World War
II were still alive in 2022.
Of that number, 3,845 were
living in Minnesota.
Ed Adamski of Bloom-
ington is one of them. He
was cited as one of the city’s
“Notable Neighbors” by
Mayor Tim Busse during
Bloomington’s March 23
State of the City presenta-
tion.
Adamski, 96, is much
more than a number. He is
a daily card player at The
Meadows senior residence
where he lives, and also
weekly at the Creekside
Senior Center. Blessed
with 20-20 vision, he’s also
known as a willing driver
when residents or friends
need a ride to a grocery
store, drugstore, or a med-
ical appointment. He gets
calls from people who need
rides sometimes as early as
6:30 a.m. or as late as 9
p.m. at night, he said.
“When I drive people
around, we get to be

walking and drinking water.
friends,” Adamski said.
“We’re just like family
here.”
He recalls enlisting in the
U.S. Navy at the age of 17,
right out of high school. “A
group of us were sitting on
the curb when we got the
call, and we all said, ‘Let’s
go Navy,’ Adamski said.
They left on a train, and
he remembers his mother
being “so nervous,” be-
cause she had two boys in
the service. His father was
a World War I veteran.
“They told us that at the
age of 18, we were expend-
able,” Adamski said. “I
never smoked until I got
into the Navy.”
He remembers doing a
lot of painting and supply
work when he was on the
ship. “I worked in the of-
fice, too,” he said. “I had a
lot of good jobs. I liked the
Navy.”
He recalls playing saxo-
phone and clarinet in the
band while he served in the
Navy. “I had taken a lot of
music lessons,” he said. “I
like Glen Miller. He’s the
best.”
Looking at pictures
from his Navy years, even
now, Adamski said, “I still
get shook up. I could give
you all the names in the
pictures.”
Following his discharge
from the Navy, Adam-
ski worked at a number of
sales jobs. “Minneapolis
was a good job market,”
he said.
Adamski and his wife,
Donna, lived in Richfield
for 47 years before moving
to Bloomington 20 years
ago. The couple had been
married for 51 years when
Donna died in 2006. They
have two sons, Todd and
Mark.
Chris Uting, a good
friend and resident at The
Meadows, often shares
meals with Adamski.
“When I make a roast or
ribs, I give half to him for
sandwiches,” Uting said.
“He eats a lot of yogurt,
chicken, and cheese, but
he loves sandwiches, and
they’re easy for him to
make.”
The two play Hand and
Foot canasta card games
every day but Monday,
when he plays cards at the
Creekside Senior Center,
always wearing his World
War II cap.
“I was the only guy
playing cards there for
five years,” Adamski said.
“Now there are 23 wom-
en and seven men play-
ing cards at Creekside.
They bring homemade
food with them to share.
They’re friendly.”
A native of Northeast
and then north Minneap-
olis, Adamski recalls that
the family car was put on
blocks during the Depres-
sion “We took the street-
car every place,” Adamski
said, “You could take the
streetcar to the State Fair
or Excelsior. They never
should have gotten rid of
streetcars.”
He said he spent two
years at DeLaSalle High
School, and two years
at Patrick Henry High
School.
In grade school, he was
interested in hockey, foot-
ball, and basketball; in
high school, he pursued
all three sports.
And he’s always enjoyed
coaching. “I’ve coached a
lot of teams; I always liked
coaching,” Adamski said.
He recalls coaching
the Assumption Catholic
School basketball team in
1957. “I worked a lot for
the church,” he said.
Adamski is a lifetime
member of the VFW in St.
Cloud, where his brother-
in-law has been com-
mander. “My wife was
from St. Cloud,” he said.
“My wife was a good
dancer, and we danced
a lot,” he said. “She had
a good work ethic. She
worked until she was 72.
She liked to work. She
worked at a bank and at
the telephone company.”
“Our parents drilled
a worth ethic into us.
My mom and dad never
missed a day of work,” he
said.
Adamski has a good
sense of humor, a ready
smile, and an optimistic
outlook. “I’ve had a good
life,” he said. “People can
watch me and there’s a
domino effect. I’ve got
payback. I can walk to
McDonald’s or Apple-
bee’s or the post office.
We have a lot of shops
near here.”
“We take care of each
other here,” he said. Ut-
ing noted that in addi-
tion to providing rides for
friends, Adamski also has
run bingo games, has tak-
en pop cans to recycling,
and helped with garage
sales, with proceeds going
to The Meadows.
Adamski celebrates
having reached the age of
96, and fully expects to be
around for a while. “I’m
a survivor; I’m healthy
and I feel good,” he said.
He credits his long life
to three things: working,
walking and drinking wa-
ter, he said.
“I had brothers who
lived to be 92 and 93,”
Adamski said. “My god-
mother lived to be 99, and
my mother lived to be 90.
I plan to be here when I’m
100.”

All female cast rocks Stages’ latest ‘Raymie Nightingale’
Show continues at
Hopkins Center for
Arts through May 21
By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
There’s something unique
about Stages Theatre Com-
pany’s latest show: It features
a cast of 11 women of all ages
who make the story come alive.
Based on the 2016 book
published by Kate DiCamillo,
“Raymie Nightingale” fol-
lows the story of three unlikely
friends coming together in the
1970s. Though initially brought
together through a desire to
learn baton twirling to win a
competition, what plays out
instead is the story of friend-
ship and self-discovery as they
examine themselves, their mo-
tivations and where their true
power lies.
“I have never done a show
where I’ve had an all-female
cast and it’s just neat. It’s really
felt like such a community. ... I
think that it goes so well with
the story about women being
strong and powerful in the 70s,
and then we’re all just lifting
each other up in our theater
community,” said 17-year-old
Adilynn Cardenas from Way-
zata, the actress behind Raymie.
For the other two actresses

who make up the show’s trio,
15-year-old Cate Koehmstedt
playing Beverly and 13-year-old
Lily Wolfe playing Louisiana,
the feeling is similar.
“It’s a story of sisterhood.
Raymie meets these two new
friends at baton twirling lessons,
named Louisiana and Beverly,
and it’s about their relationship
and how that transforms and
Plymouth / Wayzata Sun Sailor
(SUBMITTED PHOTO)
grows in the summer of 1975,”
Koehmstedt said.
The story features a diverse
array of personalities and ages
in its representation of women.
Even among the trio of Raymie,
Louisiana and Beverly — all of-
fer a different contribution to
the ragtag group of friends.
“It’s a very fun era and you
don’t really see a lot of women
in 1975. What I really like about
that story is that it’s an all-fe-
male cast and it’s just about
women lifting each other up
and raising each other,” Wolfe
said.
Cardenas describes Raymie
as smart, but overall very anx-
ious. Through enduring the re-
cent absence of her father and
wanting to bring him back, she
has learned strategies to control
her anxiety, including things
like counting to herself and
twitching her toes.
“Raymie is determined to get
her dad to come back home by
winning the Little Miss Central
Florida Tire 1975 contest and
she thinks that the way to do
that is by learning how to twirl
a baton, but when she starts to
take baton twirling lessons, she
meets these other girls and she
realizes that she doesn’t really
need to have her dad come back
home because she has other
people in her life that support
her and are there for her,” she
said.
Louisiana and Beverly each
grapple with their own chal-
lenges along the way, with Loui-
siana’s desire to get her cat back
serving as motivation for her to
win the competition while Bev-
erly’s long-standing difficulty
with trusting others makes the
competition and baton twirling
lessons some of her only oppor-
tunities to forge connections

with other women her age.
“I think what I want kids to
see is setting themselves in at
least one of the three girls be-
cause they’re all very different
in their own ways and I think
everyone can find a part of
themselves in one of them,”
Koehmstedt said.
For both Cardenas and
Wolfe, the two hope that young
audience members can relate
to their character’s personali-
ties, such as through Raymie’s
anxieties or Louisiana’s ability
to be herself.
“I definitely think that the
show is written so beautifully,
how you can see each of the girls
has something that has hap-
pened in their life, some differ-
ent kind of family. I think that
that’s really important because
there are a lot of kids who see
their family and think, ‘oh, my
family is different.’... hat’s very
important for a kid to see that
that’s okay. Lots of kids have
different types of families, not
just one type,” Cardenas said.
“Raymie Nightingale” is
playing at the Hopkins Cen-
ter for the Arts through May
21 and is directed by Mela-
nie Salmon-Peterson. Tickets
are available for purchase at

The ‘burbs see first ‘Light of PRISM’ awards

PRISM raises
over $200,000;
gives new award
to four recipients
By ANJA WUOLU
anja.wuolu@apgecm.com
PRISM, which sup-
ports residents in New
Hope, Crystal, Robbins-
dale, Golden Valley and
Plymouth, sometimes
takes a night to celebrate.
On May 9, PRISM host-
ed its 10th annual “Taste
of the ‘Burbs” event at
Frankie’s Chicago Style
Pizza in New Hope and
the Metropolitan Ball-
room and Clubroom in
Golden Valley.
There was a dinner, an
auction, golden tickets,
and the first-ever Light
of PRISM awards given
to people and organiza-
tions that have supported
the nonprofit’s endeavors.
PRISM representatives
told the Sun Post May 11
that the event had raised
more than $200,000,
though a final number
had not been reached.
Mike and Janet Mengelkoch hold their new Light of PRISM award on May 9 at the nonprofit’s annual
Taste of the ‘Burbs fundraiser.
Light of PRISM awards
“There are so many dif-
ferent people and orga-
nizations and congrega-
tions and specific groups
that support us,” Michelle
Ness, director of PRISM,
said.
Ness hopes the award
will be given each year.
This year, four recipients
took home a triangular
glass “prism” with a de-
scription of the award and
the recipient’s name frost-
ed on the side. Frankie’s
Chicago Style Pizza lo-
cated in New Hope took
home an award for a
variety of things includ-
ing hosting meetings, fre-
quent food donations, and
supporting the Shop Lo-
cal fundraiser.
Mike and Janet Mengel-
koch earned the Light of
PRISM for a variety of
things like volunteering
(SUBMITTED PHOTO BY AMY ANDERSON)
and driving the Weekly
Food Rescue. The pair
also organizes and spon-
sors the Birthday Room,
where registered children
receive toys and cake on
their birthdays. Mike
Mengelkoch also picks up
paper towels each month
and maintains PRISM’s
vehicles.
The Plymouth Lions
Club was awarded for
its work on the Back to
School and Holiday Toy
Shoppe donation drives,
as well as its volunteerism
and financial contribu-
tions. Terri Moore, club
secretary, said the award
was “unexpected but
pleasant.”
Moore volunteers for
PRISM regularly by sort-
ing through donations
at the Shop for Change
thrift shop. Over time,
Moore has become good
friends with fellow volun-
teers.
“I really enjoy work-
ing with PRISM,“ Moore
said. “I know that it meets
a need in a community
and it meets a need for me
to be useful.”
Valley Community
Presbyterian Church in
Golden Valley was given
an award for sponsoring
the Holiday Toy Shoppe,
acting as a key venue, and
wrangling individual and
group volunteers.
Valley Community Pas-
tor Richard Buller told the
Sun Post that the church,
like many religious com-
munities, is founded on
love. He added that the
church strives to love its
neighbors, and it does so
through actions like vol-
unteering, helping with
fundraisers, and hosting
events.
“PRISM is the light,
and we are just one of the
many candles that help
them bring their light into
the community,” Buller
said.
Money raised at “Taste
of the ‘Burbs” will go
towards PRISM’s pro-
grams, like the Market-
place Food Shelf in Gold-
en Valley, a grocery store
where people can go once
a week to pick up items
and supplement their gro-
ceries. PRISM also has
a little secondhand store
next door called Shop
for Change, where people
can buy lower-cost cloth-
ing and household items.
Individuals who shop at
the food shelf might be
given vouchers to pick up
a few items free of charge,
but often the store is used
by the general public.
Anybody can buy things
from Shop for Change
or donate clothes in good
condition.

of PRISM’s programs at

Minnetonka,
Wayzata play
at Target Field
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Major League base-
ball feels eons away for
most high school baseball
players, but on May 11 at
Target Field, home of the
Minnesota Twins, boys
from Minnetonka and
Wayzata varsity teams got
a taste of the big time.
The Twins offered the
Lake Conference teams
a chance to take the
field following a Twins’
victory over the visiting
San Diego Padres, and
throughout their seven-
inning game, Minnetonka
and Wayzata played
errorless ball. If there was
a difference between the
teams, Wayzata had a 6-1
advantage in hits on the
way to a 2-1 victory.
Six-foot-seven senior
righthander Jack
Kochevar opened on the
mound for Minnetonka
and junior righthander
Riley Leatherman started
for Wayzata. Kochevar
pitched four innings, giving
up a run on three hits,
and was not involved in
the decision. Leatherman
took a no-hitter into the
top of the seventh before
Jake McCuskey’s hit drove
in Max Pederson with
Minnetonka’s lone run.
Wayzata had just added
an insurance run in the
top of the seventh for a
2-0 lead.
“The game had a State
Tournament feel to it,”
said Wayzata head coach
Bobby DeWitt, whose
2016 team won the state
championship at Target
Field. “Coach [Mark]
Elias and I knew what it
would be like playing at
Target Field, but none of
our players had been on
the field before. I think it
helped that they were able
to watch two hours of the
Twins game before going
out there.”
Leatherman’s pitching
was, of course, Wayzata’s
highlight. He limited

Tonka edges Wayzata in race for True Team 7AAA track honors
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
The Section 7AAA Boys True
Team Track Meet went down to
the final event May 10 at Eden
Prairie’s Aerie Stadium, and
Minnetonka needed to finish
either first or second in the
4x400-meter relay to capture the
team championship.
The Skippers finished second
to Wayzata in that race, but
finished slightly ahead of the
Trojans in the team standings,
697.5 to 696.
While the section was a
showcase for Lake Conference
track with Eden Prairie taking
third place, there is more
competition ahead. At 3:10 p.m.
Friday, May 19, at Stillwater
High, Minnetonka and Wayzata
are co-favorites for the state
True Team title. There will be
eight section champions entered
along with four wild-card boys
teams - Wayzata, Prior Lake,
Edina and Eden Prairie.
“We knew it was possible we
could finish ahead of Wayzata,”
Minnetonka head coach James
Finch said. “Things went our
way. Our pole vaulters had their
best day since I’ve been head
coach. Our distance crew was
spectacular and Jack Liwienski
had his career-best shot put.”
With spring colds going
around the Wayzata campus,
Trojan head coach Aaron Berndt
noted that he didn’t have his full
team for True Team sectionals.
“We had some athletes who
couldn’t compete and some
who battled through sickness to
compete,” he said. “The quality
of teams in our section drops
off after us, Minnetonka and
Eden Prairie, although Hopkins
is strong in some events.”
Because of that, most of the
event wins were by those four
schools.
“With four Lake teams
advancing to state, that shows
the quality of our conference,”
Berndt said.
Following is a summary from
each area of the section meet.

It was a photo finish in
the 200-meter dash with

Wayzata speaks for itself.”
Wayzata’s win gave the
Trojans a 6-3 conference
record. Edina leads the
pack at 6-2 with Eden
Prairie, Hopkins and
Minnetonka all .500 at
4-4.
Coach DeWitt of Way-
zata went into this week’s
action with three confer-
ence games remaining.
He envisioned starting
his aces, Leatherman
and John Skoro in those
games.
Minnetonka will get a
shot at Edina at 6:30 p.m.
Friday, May 19, at Edina’s
Braemar Park. “Edina is
a strong team that plays
hard,” coach Twenge
said. “I am not surprised
by what they have done so
far. With a win on Friday,
they could wrap up the
conference. If we win, we
can still be in it.”
Last week didn’t start off
well for the Wayzata High
School baseball team with a
7-0 loss to Edina ace Soren
Epple May 8. However, the
Trojans recovered nicely.
In addition to defeating
Minnetonka 2-1, the
defeated St. Louis Park
10-6 May 13 at Dakota
Park.
The unusual thing about
the St. Louis Park game
was Wayzata’s torrid,
top-to-bottom hitting.
All nine Trojan starters
had at least one hit. Jake
Berkland led he way, going
three-for-four with a walk
and two runs scored.
Gaard Swenson went two-
for-four and scored three
times. Lash, Warcken,
Brown and Matthew
Berkland each has two
hits, as well. Reem, Ryan
Friedhoff and Sam Mohs
each had one hit. Swenson
stole three bases.
“Any time you have six
guys with multiple hits,
you’ve had a great day,”
coach DeWitt said. “Park
hit two home runs and
showed they can put up
runs quickly. For three
innings Skoro was perfect.”
Then rain interrupted
play and Park was able to
regroup.
Coach DeWitt was
pleased to note that
freshman Sam Mohs
made an appearance in
the starting lineup. “He
started the season on the
freshman A team, and
then was promoted to JV
for a few games before we
called him up to varsity,”
the coach said. “Our
other freshman, Matthew
Berkland, is third on the
team in hits.”
Skoro pitched six innings
of five-hit ball against
Park to record the win.
Viet Nguyen appeared in
his familiar closer’s role in
the bottom of the seventh
inning.
Last week’s results left
Wayzata 11-4 overall.
