2 counts of criminal sexual conduct for city, state and school

By MIKE HANKS
mike.hanks@apgecm.com
A 28-year-old Richfield man was
charged with two counts of second-
degree criminal sexual conduct,
accused of assaulting two juvenile
victims more than 100 times over a
period of more than six years.
Matthew Bertsch was arrested
Aug. 30 at Crystal’s FAIR School,
a magnet school in the Robbin-
sdale School District that serves
fourth- through eighth-graders.
The incidents were reported to the
Bloomington Police Department
in early August.
Although the criminal complaint
lists Bertch’s current city of resi-
dence as Richfield, the alleged inci-
dents were said to have occurred at
a residence of his in Bloomington,
Police Chief Booker Hodges said
Sept. 1 during a press conference.
In addition to two counts of
second-degree criminal sexual con-
duct, Bertsch was charged with one

Hodges said Bertsch
“took the innocence away
from the victims.” He ex-
plained that the victims
had been going through
therapy and confronted
Bertsch, who responded
by telling them that next
time he would tighten his
belt and keep his pants on.
“Well, gym teacher, we
got some shorts for you,”
Hodges said, holding up a
pair of orange shorts.
Hodges said there was
no information suggest-
ing there were other vic-
tims, “But we can’t be
sure,” he said. He encour-
aged anyone who thinks
that Bertsch may have
assaulted one of their
children to call the Police
Department at 952-563-
4900.
Bertsch has been li-
censed as a teacher since
2019 and taught in Plym-
outh Middle School, also
in the Robbinsdale district,
prior to moving to FAIR
School this year, Hodges
noted. Bertsch has been
employed by Robbinsdale
Area Schools since Sep-
tember 2021.
“Staff in Robbinsdale
are focusing on what is
most important at this
time of the year – welcom-
ing students and families
back to school beginning
next week,” the Robbins-
dale school district said in
a statement.
The district did not ad-
dress Bertsch’s employ-
ment status, but his name
did not appear in the dis-
trict’s online staff direc-
tory following the Police
Department’s announce-
ment of his arrest.
Welcome
Home!
If convicted of criminal
sexual conduct, Bertsch
faces up to 25 years in
prison and a fine of up to
$35,000 for each charge. If
convicted of using minors
in a sexual performance
or pornographic work,
he faces up to 10 years in
prison and a $20,000 fine.
He remained in jail as
of Sept. 1 with a bail set
at $300,000, according
to the Hennepin County
Sheriff’s Office jail roster.

Flora and fauna flourish in my suburban yard
The wild world has
been busy in our yard
this summer. It’s been
wonderful to see the di-
versity of animals, insects
and plants flaunting their
stuff in our yard.
We’ve been in our cur-
rent house for nine years,
and the amount of growth
in the variety of flora and
fauna species within our
yard is remarkable.
Each year, I add more
gardens to reduce the
amount of turf grass in
our yard. This year was
no exception as I split
plants, planted seeds and
purchased new plants to
increase the garden area
and diversity. Of course,
some plants make it and
thrive while others sput-
ter along and eventu-

ally fade away. This is the
challenge of gardening
– getting the right plant
in the right location. But
having success always
thrills me and encourages
me to keep trying and ex-
panding our gardens.
It seems with each ex-
pansion I am seeing ex-
panded critters coming
into our yard to either
exploit the plants (i.e.,
rabbits and deer that I’ve
seen all too frequently
mow down several hostas,
black chokeberry shrubs,
cardinal flowers, and even
purple coneflowers) or
use them for sustenance.
The variety of bees is
amazing, particularly the
numbers I see on Joe Pye
weed, Monarda, cone-
flower and hostas. I’ve
also witnessed many pol-
linator flies doing their
thing on those same flow-
ers and others. I’ve truly
enjoyed seeing monarchs,
swallowtails and other
butterflies perusing the
gardens.
I’ve had to reduce the
amount of common
milkweed in our gardens
due to the proliferation
of plants; it would take
over our garden if left to
its own devices.
I’ve enjoyed seeing the
squirrels, both red and
gray, munch on oak and
maple seeds, but one of
the wildlife highlights for
me is seeing the diversity
of birds using our bird
baths, eating seeds and
berries, and just hanging
out in branches, squawk-
ing at each other. There is
something special when
you see hummingbirds,
ever so gracefully, buzz-
ing into and through
your redbud, picking
off aphids growing un-
derneath the leaves. Our
redbud has a large infes-
tation of aphids for the
first time, diminishing the
leaf chlorophyll a bit but
not causing the tree any
undue stress. Who would
have thought an upside
to the aphid infestation
is hummingbirds flitting
among its leaves?
Speaking of infesta-
tions, our creeping Char-
lie keeps doing its thing
and ever-so-slowly ex-
pands throughout our
yard. An upside I find is I
don’t have to mow as of-
ten, and there seem to be
many kinds of toads that
like it for their habitat.
We can’t always predict
how nature finds its way.
Of course, it takes sev-
eral years to get your pe-
rennial plants to thrive
and flourish, producing
root formation first and

Small towns are known
for their familiarity. Part
of it is the human scale of
many small communities
in Minnesota. It’s hard
not to be noticed when
everybody goes to the
same Post Office, hard-
ware store, community
park and corner cafe. It’s
almost impossible not
to bump into somebody
you recognize at the gro-
cery store when you all
get your milk, meats and
bread at the same place.
There is a certain level of
comfort knowing so many
of your fellow residents,
who in some ways, start
to feel like family.
But there are other rea-
sons small towns are suc-
cessful, even if economi-
cally they face a different
set of challenges. There
aren’t a lot of engines
that drive entertainment
options in small towns,
but schools play a critical
role in hundreds of com-
munities across Minne-
sota. School activities are
“the” entertainment on
many evenings.
While the foundation of
what schools do is educate
our youth, part of that
process is the valuable en-

It’s a big deal.
In small towns, where
the options for enter-

come what I’ve envisioned for quite a while.
With patience, our plans – or make that plants
– become reality.
My wife and I marvel at what our yard has
become since we first moved into our house,
when it was basically a blank canvass, minimal
plants and sterile from over prescribing and ap-
plying pesticides.
Now it is a green paradise full of life. See-

wonderland, we finally feel we are becoming

Robbinsdale Schools plans

for end of COVID-era
free school meal program
Strategy includes new hires, more advocacy, and
memorization tricks for student lunch numbers
By ALAINA ROOKER
alaina.rooker@apgecm.com
A federal COVID-era
program that provided
free breakfast and lunch
to all public school stu-
dents is ending with the
start of the 2022-2023
school year. As a result,
school districts have re-
verted to their former
meal policies after a two-
and-a-half year gap.
The free meal program
was organized by the U.S.
Department of Agricul-
ture’s Food and Nutrition
Service. But now, families
will once again be paying
for meals or utilizing the
Educational Benefits pro-
gram, formerly known as
Free and Reduced Lunch,
like they did before March
2020.
At the Robbinsdale
School District, Nutrition
Services Director Katie
Wahl said her office had
prepared an all-encom-
passing information cam-
paign in the months lead-
ing up to the first day of
school. There was plenty
to communicate to par-
ents, students and kitchen
staff to re-establish the
system.
“You can’t communi-
cate this kind of informa-
tion enough,” Wahl said.
Dusting off
the registers
Students are tasked
with perhaps the easiest
part: remembering their
lunch pin numbers.
Easier said than done,
Wahl said: “These kids
haven’t used pins since
March 2020, so it will be
a big change.”
The department has
shared a graphic with
parents to help their chil-
dren memorize their pin
number, and let students
practice them at kick-off
days. There are barcode
readers at checkout ki-
osks, but they are only ef-
fective if students remem-
ber to bring their ID into
the lunchroom.
One student forget-
ting their number might
seem like a trivial prob-
lem, but when that’s rep-
licated among hundreds
of students, delays at the

checkout counter can cre-
ate trouble. Students have
a finite amount of time
in their schedules for a
lunch period, and queues
need to move as quickly
as possible so those at the
end of it have adequate
time to eat.
Schools are also trying
to get enough staff hired
to process the paid lunch
program. When meals
were free, a significant ad-
ministrative burden was
taken off of the nutrition
department, Wahl said.
Now that registers need
to be staffed again, the
district is looking to add
that back. Last month,
the district advertised 20
open kitchen positions.

Back in session, Hopkins School Board passes new meal policy

policy in compliance with state
The policy was statute Aug. 30.
Minnesota requires school
made in compliance districts participating in the na-
tional school lunch program to
with state statute adopt a school meals policy.
According to the policy docu-
By NATALIE CIERZAN ment, the purpose is to ensure
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com students receive healthy and
nutritious meals through the
Hopkins School Board unan- district’s nutrition program as
imously passed a new meal well as ensure employees, fami-
lies and students all understand
meal charge expectations. The
policy is also meant to provide
meals to students in a respectful
manner that maintains the dig-
nity of students and prohibits
lunch shaming or ostracizing.
Director Shannon Andreson
shared the background on the
policy, including the need to
develop this policy quickly for
families to understand what to
expect going into the school
year.
“As most of you know, we
have had a waiver from the
federal government to provide
summer meals all year long dur-
ing the pandemic. That means
that most of our families are
not practiced in the art of fill-
ing out the application they
have to fill out in order to pro-
vide their child with food during
the school day, and so this could
have a deep impact on family’s
access to food and in engaging
in a robust educational day,” she
said.
Under the “payment of
meals” section of the policy, it
reads: “A student who has been
determined to be eligible for free

Director Steve Adams questioned
the section of the policy which stated
the district may not enlist the assis-
tance of non-school district employ-
ees, such as volunteers, to engage in
debt collection efforts.
“I know in some school districts,
some volunteer committees have

The policy does not prohibit that.

Contributions raised at the event will
help fund the nonprofit association’s

Cities area, advocacy efforts for families
impacted by Alzheimer’s and dementia
and advance research around the globe.
Among the many people who have
been impacted by Alzheimer’s is Wayzata
resident Sally Mainquist, whose mother
lived with the disease for more than a de-
cade before her death.
“She got it in her early 60s and she died
in the nursing home at 75. ... It’s a hor-
rible disease,” Mainquist said.
Feeling inspired to help other families
impacted by the disease, Mainquist be-
came a board member of the Alzheimer’s
Association’s Minnesota-North Dakota
chapter, a role she has served in for the
past six years.
“The first year on the board, I did the
walk and I was just amazed at the en-
ergy,” she said. “It was very hopeful.”
A few years later, Mainquist found
herself as chair of the 2019 event, which
ended up being the largest walk in the

Cooper’s Quick Stop invites pet
owners to ‘Take a stick, leave a stick’
Cache of pet supplies modeled after Little Free Library concept
By ANDREW WIG
andrew.wig@apgecm.com
The memory of Cooper, who
was a very good boy, lives on at the
corner of 71st Street and Stevens
Avenue.
There, Cooper’s Quick Stop has
stood since the beginning of Au-
gust, offering a variety of free pet
supplies to suit the needs of four-
legged passersby, in the mold of the
Little Free Library.
Craig and Dana Heinen didn’t
see the need for another Little
Free Library – their neighborhood
already has plenty of those, they
said – and they live just down the
street from a real library. But they
did feel the need to honor their
faithful companion, and couldn’t
bear to get rid of Cooper’s old toys
and dog supplies.
“You don’t want to throw it away,
and you want to make sure some-
body gets some use out of it,” Dana
said, acknowledging her sentimen-
tal ways.
The Heinens adopted Cooper
from Dana’s parents in 2020 after a
spinal condition took away his abil-
ity to walk. He still seemed happy,
but Cooper now needed constant
attention, which Dana’s parents
couldn’t provide due to their work.
But Craig and Dana were working
from home due to the pandemic, so
they took Cooper in.
The 75-pound dog spent the rest
of his days by their side. He died
last February, just short of his 15th
birthday.
Due to allergies, Craig never
thought he would have a dog, but
his bond with Cooper overpow-
ered any would-be sniffles. “This
was never part of the plan,” Craig
said. “My body, for whatever rea-
son, would make an exception for
Cooper.”
He tells people, “I’m not a dog
person, I’m a Cooper person.”
Dana was in college when her
parents adopted Cooper, and the
dog was about 5 years old when the
couple started dating, she recalls.
Walk
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12
nation out of more than 600 walks.
“We raised $1.7 million that day
... and we had over 10,000 people
walking,” she said. “It was a great
day.”
On the day of the walk, partici-
pants honor those affected by Al-
zheimer’s with a Promise Garden
ceremony – with each person carry-
ing a flower in solidarity in the fight
against the disease.
Crystal • Robbinsdale • New Hope • Golden Valley Sun Post
Craig Heinen’s allergies didn’t keep him from spending quality time with Cooper. In fact, his
wife believes Craig was probably the dog’s favorite human.
She got nervous when she learned
her new boyfriend wasn’t a dog
person.
“I remember thinking, ‘Oh, this
might be a deal-breaker. If Craig’s
allergic to Cooper, I can’t date
him,’” she said.
But as it turned out, “Cooper
loved Craig more than anybody in
our family, probably,” Dana said.
After Cooper’s passing, his family
brainstormed ways to honor their
friend, and when Dana got a hold
of a Little Free Library that was the
product of a collaboration between
his employer, Dunwoody College,
and the Girl Scouts, the idea for
what would become Cooper’s
Quick Stop was born. Craig refur-
bished the structure, and Dana lent
her crafty touch by turning Coo-
per’s paw prints into stencils.
Now, those prints adorn the
walls of the pet library, joined by
the footprints of the Heinens’ late
pet duck, Anka, who lived in their
backyard.
The Heinens’ twist on the Little
Free Library has understandably
been an object of intrigue for the

legged pedestrians. “We’ve seen
some cute little interactions,” Dana
said.
People can take an item or leave
an item, but there are a few things
that the Heinens make sure to keep
stocked. There’s a “take a stick,
leave a stick” basket, a tennis ball
dispenser that they regularly fill, a
Mason jar full of dog treats and
a robust supply of stuffed hedge-
hogs, which Cooper would have
appreciated.
From his adoption day to his
final day, he sucked on his own
hedgehog like a pacifier, and when

replaced with a fresh one, the Hei-

Malone and Tucker connect

for three touchdowns in
season-opening win for Falcons
Just like in 2021, Armstrong begins the
season with a win over Waconia

against Waconia.
After Armstrong went up
21-0 going into halftime, the
Wildcats clawed back, with the
help of a costly turnover by the
Falcons and made it a one-score
game in the fourth at 21-14.
The Falcons were reeling a
bit, so they dialed up another
long pass to put the game away.
With 7:23 remaining, Malone
found Tucker down the sideline
for a 38-yard touchdown grab
that essentially was the knock-
out blow Armstrong delivered
to Waconia. A double-move
on the cornerback from Tucker
freed him up for his third touch-
down of the night at Malone’s
fourth.
“They’re pretty good. They
haven’t had a lot of time this
summer. Jamen’s had some

Champlin Park putting winless 2021 season behind them

(SUN PHOTO BY RACE ARCHIBALD)
Finding consistency with a regular
team quarterback will be key for the
Champlin Park football team’s offen-
sive strategy in 2022.
By RACE ARCHIBALD
race.archibald@apgecm.com
2021 was a year to forget for
Champlin Park football. Nor-
mally a regular playoff contend-
er, the Rebels found wins hard to
come by.
Very hard, that is.
Champlin Park finished 2021
0-6 in conference play and 0-9
overall. They struggled in just
about every facet of the game,
averaging 7 points per game and
allowing 27.
They had a few close games.
They lost to Woodbury 15-9 in
week one and Blaine 26-25 in
week 3. In their playoff game,
which was also against Wood-
bury, they lost 14-0 to a team that
finished 9-2 overall.
But all in all, it was a disap-
pointing season. Champlin Park
had the thought in the back of
their minds that it could be a long
year with all of the talent they
were replacing from 2019, but
they never expected it to result
in a winless season.
“I learned sometimes you can’t
control things, we had some ma-
jor injuries that hurt us,” head
coach Nick Keenan said. “We
weren’t all that deep. We only
had two returning starters com-
ing into the season and when
guys got hurt it got down to
guys that were really inexperi-
enced. Lost two close games. It
was tough last year and the kids
gave their all. The more I think
about it, some of the teams were
just a little better than us.”
No one ever wants to go
through a winless season, but the
motivating factor behind such a
down season can be immeasur-
able.
The Rebels will look to get
back to winning ways in 2022
with another year of experience
under their belt with a young
team and returning talent in the
trenches. Leading the way are
senior linemen Magnus Wright
and Ben Nelson. Those two will
help anchor the line on both
sides of the ball.
One of the few bright spots in
2021 was senior running back/
defensive back Darius Givance.
He tallied 465 yards on the
ground and 2 touchdowns on
offense, along with 66 tackles on
defense. Now playing at North
Dakota State, he leaves behind
production the Rebels will at-
tempt to replace.
On the ground, there isn’t a
whole lot of production return-
ing. Junior Arthur Russell (128
yards) brings back the most.
Champlin Park will also have
to sort out their quarterback sit-
uation. A number of players saw
time under center in 2021 after
regular starter Sean Erickson
was hurt in the fourth game of
the season. Having consistency
under center will be key for the
Rebels’ offense.
A potential weapon for that
unit could be 6-foot-5 senior
tight end Blake Stahl.
Other key returners include
senior wide receiver/defensive
back Emmit Tutt, senior line-
backer/tight end Ben Bremer, ju-
nior linebacker Matthew Heinen
and junior offensive lineman Co-
lin Ellingson.
It’s a group that’s eager to put
the past behind them and look
forward to leading the younger
players in the program.
“I feel good. We have a great
group of leaders that got a ton
of experience last year,” Keenan
said. “They hit the weight room
hard in the winter, spring and
summer. We feel like we’re ahead
of where we were at this point
last year.”

TITLE IX SERIES
Female athletes who starred
in prep and college ranks
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Statistics show that only a
small percentage of athletes
enjoy the same level of success
in college that they did in high
school.
This week, we will look at the
careers of female athletes from
the Title IX era, who exceeded,
matched or approached their
high school achievements as
collegians.
We will add to this list as we
continue our Title IX coverage
through the end of the calendar
year.
Kathy Blair
St. Louis Park
Coaches Phil Frerk and Deb
Wold of the St. Louis High
girls basketball team were able
to capitalize on the all-around
play of their athletic 5-9 for-
ward, Kathy Blair.
The Orioles were a power-
house with those two coaches
and a host of great individual
players, among them Blair, Jill
Anderson, Amy Davidson and
Barb Gordon. Park teams won
state championships in 1986
and 1990, although it was al-
ways a struggle to get past Edi-
na and on to the State Class AA
Tournament.
Blair wasn’t the tallest for-
ward, but she had great speed,
the tenacity to grab rebounds
and a high basketball IQ.
Indiana University recruited
Blair to play Big Ten Confer-
ence basketball, and she con-
tinued to show the same quali-
ties with the Hoosiers that had
made her an All-Lake Confer-
ence and All-State player for
Park.

it 21-0.

April Bockin
Eden Prairie
As a soccer player for Eden
Prairie in 2014, April Bockin
won the Ms. Soccer of Minne-
sota Award in Class AA. She
led the Eagles to the runner-up
trophy in the State Tournament
that year.
Bockin was a four-time All-
Lake Conference player and
won the Eden Prairie High
Athena Award as a senior.
Moving on to college with
her hometown school, the Uni-
versity of Minnesota, Bockin
immediately jumped into the
offense. Over four years with
the Gophers, she played in 82
matches.
Bockin’s career progressed
to an outstanding senior year,
during which she led Minne-
sota with 13 goals. Postseason
honors were in store for the
former Eagle, who was named
first-team All-Big Ten, first-
team All-Big Ten Academic
and Most Outstanding Offen-
sive Player in the conference
tournament.
Corbin Boyd
Hopkins
It would be hard to find a high
school athlete who had more
success in two sports than Hop-
kins’ Corbin Boyd.
She set the all-time scoring re-
cord in the Hopkins girls hock-
ey program and was also one
of the all-time leading scorers
in the Royals’ soccer program.
Eight All-Lake Conference
awards - four in soccer and four
in hockey - signify how good
an athlete Boyd was in high
school. As a senior in hockey,
she had 44 points on 11 goals
and 33 assists. Ten varsity let-
away. Senior running back Max
Mcenelly carried Waconia’s of-
fense, rushing for 177 yards and
scoring both of their touch-
downs from one and six yards
out.
“That No. 2 (Mcenelly) is one
of the best players, and I told
him that after the game, that I’ve
seen. He is one tough sucker,”
Negen said.
The Wildcats’ second touch-
down came on a short field after
Armstrong running back Reggie
Carter fumbled a lateral from
Malone. Waconia then began
their drive on the 19.
It was 21-14 entering the final
quarter and the Falcons had the
ters made Boyd one of the best
female athletes of the decade at
Hopkins. Boyd, who graduated
in 2015, led Hopkins to its first
ever State Girls Soccer Tourna-
ment bid in 2014.
Boyd’s academic credentials
in high school were as good as
her sports statistics. She had
a 4.0 GPA every semester and
earned a place in the National
Honor Society.
In her final season of college
hockey at Minnesota State,
Mankato in 2018-19, Boyd was
the captain and reached the
50-point plateau for her career.
She continued to earn good
grades and was named a West-
ern Collegiate Hockey Associa-
tion Scholar-Athlete.
Lizzie Crist
Minnetonka
As a high school soccer play-
er for Minnetonka, goalkeeper
Lizzie Crist led the Skippers to
the Lake Conference champi-
onship. She was on the track
team as a sprinter in addition
to earning All-State honors in
soccer.
Four years later, she was the
all-time leader in shutouts with
31 for the Washington Univer-
sity of St. Louis soccer team.
Crist had the second most
program goalie wins with 48.
Those statistics made her an
All-American.
While playing four years of
soccer for Washington U, she
majored in biomedical engi-
neering and compiled a 3.90
GPA. At the conclusion of her
senior year, Crist became the
first Washington University
student ever to win all three of
the major awards at the annual
Chancellor’s Dinner.
ball in the red zone. However, on
the first play of the fourth quar-
ter, Malone was intercepted by
junior defensive back Tate Mc-
Donald, who jumped in front of
Tucker to make the diving pick.
With a chance to tie the game,
Armstrong’s defense remained
tough and forced a punt from the
Wildcats. Tucker’s touchdown
came on the next drive and the
Falcons were in business.
Down two scores with seven
minutes to play, Waconia had to
pick up some chunk plays, which
allowed Armstrong to get two in-
terceptions of their own, one by

the other from senior linebacker

netonka High career. She went on to become an All-American for Washington

Anna French
Wayzata
During her high school track,
cross country and Nordic ski-
ing career at Wayzata High,
Ana French elevated Trojan en-
durance sports to new heights.
French joined the varsity cross
country team as a seventh-grad-
er and was No. 1 for the Tro-
jans in the majority of her ca-
reer races. French led her team
to state cross country cham-
pionships three straight years
(2012-14). Her best individual
CC performance was a second
place in her sophomore season
(2012). As a senior in 2014, she
took seventh place.
French was recruited to run
cross country and track by West
Virginia University. After two
years there, she made the long
trek across the land to Montana
State University, where she fin-
ished her collegiate career..
An outstanding student in
both high school and college,
French graduated from Mon-
Henry Smith.
Smith returned his intercep-
tion into the red zone, giving the
Falcons’ offense a short field for
their final touchdown, scored by
Carter from three yards out.
Senior cornerback Cordell
Wilson had an interception in
the first half, making it three for
the Falcons on the night.
Malone finished 12-23 for 307
yards and 4 touchdowns. Tucker
had 7 of those catches for 230
yards and 3 touchdowns, already
equaling his total from a year
ago. The Falcons had 118 yards
on the ground, led by Carter
with 85.

ology and chemistry. She ad-

Injuries slowed French’s col-
lege running career, but when
she was healthy, she was one
of Montana State’s top com-
petitors. The 2020 track season
was canceled, but French had a
medical redshirt and was able to
compete again in 2021.

to 82 yards through the air on
17 completions.
Just like they did in 2021, the
Falcons begin the season with
a win over Waconia. But what
the 2022 version provided was a
possible glimpse at a special QB-
WR tandem.
“We did the same thing last
year, we were up 21-0 and we
dang near got beat. So we talked
about that at halftime,” Negen
said. “The good thing out of it
is that it went bad quickly and
they had a chance to tie it up and
we kept fighting. We got to get
better obviously in some areas
but we’ll take the win.”

continued to dominate at a Big

as Gretchen Larson did.
