Church of Robbinsdale turns 100
2022 brings reason for celebration, self-reflection for church

On Sept. 1, 1922, a man named
A.W. Lundahl and 26 other wor-
shipers met at Lundahl’s Robbin-
sdale home to form a Lutheran
church associated with the Minne-
sota Conference of the Augustana

synod of North America. Two years
later, that church found its home on
the corner of 40th and West Broad-
way avenues.
Elim Lutheran Church has been
a stalwart presence in downtown
Robbinsdale ever since. Last week,
the church celebrated its 100th year

Robbinsdale police captain hired as Big Lake police chief

By JEFFREY HAGE
jeff.hage@apgecm.com
A Robbinsdale police
captain has been hired as
Big Lake’s next chief of
police.
The Big Lake City
Council voted to approve
a contract negotiated with
John Kaczmarek on a 3-2
vote.
Kaczmarek was chosen
from a field of three can-
didates after two days of
interviews with communi-

ty members, city staff, and
members of the Big Lake
City Council.
The other candidates
were Kenneth Dvorak and
Timothy Jeanetta.
Kaczmarek has spent his
entire 16-year career in law
enforcement with the Rob-
binsdale Police Depart-
ment.
He is the police captain
with the Robbinsdale Po-
lice Department, a posi-
tion he has held since 2020.
A patrol sergeant from
2014-2020, Kaczmarek
has also represented Rob-
binsdale on the West Met-
ro SWAT team from 2013
to 2020.
Kaczmarek served as a
police investigator from
2012 to 2014, and a field
training officer in 2010-
2011.
He joined the Robbin-
sdale Police Department
in 2006 as a community
service officer, a position
he held for three years. He
was then promoted to pa-
trol officer, a position he
held for four years.
Kaczmarek holds a
bachelor of science degree
in law enforcement and a
bachelor of arts degree in
criminal justice from Met-
ropolitan State University
in St. Paul.
Kaczmarek will come
to Big Lake at a salary
of $118,500. He was to
come on board Aug. 29
as a three-year employee,
with 160 hours of annual
accrued vacation time. He
will also receive a take-
home vehicle.
The approval of Kac-
zmrek’s contract was not
unanimous. Council mem-
bers Ken Halverson and
Kim Nodding did not sup-
erson said he took excep-
tion to Mayor Paul Knier
— who supported Kac-
zmarek — commenting
that he felt Kaczmarek was
“malleable.”
Halverson read a defi-
nition of “malleable” and
suggested the word meant
“easily influenced.”
Knier noted he used the
word in a context that he
believed Kaczmarek is
young and will fit well into
the culture of Big Lake.
Nodding said she whole-
heartedly supports Kacz-
marek and was not voting
against him as a candidate.
She was making a stand
against the selection pro-
cess.

Clear differences seen in Secretary of State race

Election integrity continues to be an impor-
tant issue in the 2022 election. Close to 30%
of Americans believe the 2020 election was
unfair. This year, Minnesota’s chief election
officer, DFL Secretary of State Steve Simon
is up for re-election against Republican-en-
dorsed Kim Crockett.
Minnesotans should be proud they have led
the nation in voter turnout in the past three
elections. At the same time, concerns over the
fairness of our elections need to be addressed
so everyone is confident that no one who is
eligible to vote is prevented from doing so, yet
those who are ineligible are stopped.
Every election law causes trade-offs be-
tween the opportunity to vote and the secu-
rity that only eligible ballots are counted. We
strongly believe any reform of election laws
should have bipartisan support. That said, we
see more problems than benefits in requiring a
photo I.D. from all voters. We think too many
citizens (for example, the homeless) would end
up disenfranchised. Crockett wants a free,
government-issued photo I.D. for voting, and
is concerned in particular about non-citizens
voting. Simon opposes requiring a photo I.D.,
but said he sees promise in the future for pre-
loading photos of all voters when they register
and taking photos of those not already in the
data base if they register at the polls on Elec-
tion Day.
We support provisional ballots for people
registering on Election Day, by which their
vote would remain private, but would be set
aside for seven days so election officials can
verify the voter’s address. Crockett agrees, not-
ing Minnesota is one of only three states that
does not have provisional ballots. Simon is
concerned about the details, and said, “Some
people use provisional ballots not as a shield,
but as a sword” to prevent eligible citizens
from voting.”
We also support the continuation of state
law requiring felons to complete their proba-
tion before their voting rights are restored.
Simon would restore voting rights once a
felon’s incarceration ends, even though he or
she is still on probation. Crockett believes the
person should make restoration, apologizing
or otherwise atoning for the harm they have
caused others, before having their rights re-

I’d never tactically choose

harm since they dry faster.

County to begin
awarding funding
for youth arts and
music programing
Hennepin County is working
to connect more youth to art
and music programs by expand-
ing the mission of an existing
Hennepin County Youth Sports
grant program.
The Hennepin County Board
approved a contract with En-
couraging Leaders at its Sept. 13
meeting. This organization will
administer the additional grant
funding for youth art and music
programs.
Building on ideas from previ-
ous board members, District 7
Commissioner Kevin Anderson
offered the original resolution to
the County Board in September
2021. The county can provide
more opportunities to foster
creativity and self-expression
and raise cultural awareness and
appreciation, a press release an-
nounced.
“I’m excited to see this mov-
ing forward,” Anderson said.
“We can now reach and engage
with more youth in more ways. I
believe that the vibrancy of our
future starts with equitable ac-
cess to activities that engage both
the body and the mind through
sports and arts.”
Encouraging Leaders is an
African American-led, youth-
based non-profit organization
located in North Minneapo-
lis. Since its inception in 2015,
Encouraging Leaders’ work
has impacted the lives of over
2,000 underserved Minnesota
youth through performance art
programs, job placements and
employment skill development.
Encouraging Leaders has dem-
onstrated a capability to perform
grant administration work with
local nonprofits and a collabora-
tive history with potential future
grant recipients, according to the
press release.
The recent board action com-
pensates Encouraging Leaders
up to $300,000 through Septem-
ber 2025. In collaboration with
the county, Encouraging Lead-
ers will develop the program.
The nonprofit will also generate
and manage grant proposals,
provide technical assistance to
grant applicants, and develop
the primary recommendations
for funding to the county.
For the last 13 years, Henne-
pin Youth Sports has awarded
more than $27 million for facil-
ity, small equipment and play-
ground projects, along with wa-
ter safety lessons.

Crystal Section II
Question: Crystal has
just instituted a DEI Com-
mission (Diversity, Equity
and Inclusion). How would
you support this effort?
Tony Sumnicht: The city
council is just conducting
interviews for that com-
mission and getting resi-
dents on it. I think one way
the council can support
them is working with them
on their work plan initially
so you can get them off on
a good start and give them
a direction. The city used
to have a Human Rights
Commission and it was
really without direction
and without leadership,
and I think that’s partially
because there wasn’t that
direction from the city
council. This commission
really needs direction from
the city council to be able
to fulfill their mission.
Forest Eidbo: This is
certainly one of my priori-
ties. ... The commission,
as Tony just mentioned, is
just starting to get started.
I think it’s kind of like one
of those birds that you
really have to protect to
make sure it can fly well.
And we know this because
the process of getting the
commission in the first
place was so contentious.
If you listen to some
of those work sessions,
there’s a lot of different
viewpoints on the council
in terms of how this com-
mission needs to be run.
And I think if we want that
strong leadership to make
this commission work well,
we have to make sure that
it’s community led and it’s
actually a place where the
commission represents the
community and brings the

question of the longest-serving congre-
gant into a “playful controversy.” For the
record, or at least to the best of Doerrer’s
estimation, those members are Carl Taft,
Bob Nord, and the aforementioned Ger-
ald Anderson. All have been members for
70-plus years.
The three joined the church as it began
to experience a period of tremendous
growth, peaking in the 1960s and 1970s.
Membership has dwindled considerably
since that post-World War II suburban
boom. Simply, the church that expand-
ed in the early 1960s to accommodate a
4,000-body congregation no longer needs
the space.
Instead of one big church, the space
is now shared with four other congre-
gations that offer services in three dif-
ferent languages, including Laotian and
Spanish. Four of the five are Christian
denominations, and two are recognized
by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America.
Ultimately, though Doerrer said all five
churches praise “one God, in one body of
Christ within one building.”
Doerrer said as Elim continues to cel-
ebrate a century of praise, it is deeply and
concurrently in a process of Christian dis-
cernment. Church leadership is embark-
ing on a process to decide what the future
holds. This summer, and with a heavy
heart, Elim’s congregation agreed that

Humane society begins training program to combat staffing shortages

Animal Humane Soci-

organization, both in its
shelters and low-cost vet-

“One of our biggest
constraints to growing our
service offerings right now
is a shortage of veterinary
technicians,” said Dr. Gra-
ham Brayshaw, director of
veterinary medicine. “This
nationwide shortage isn’t
going away any time soon,
so we decided to create
a program to train and
equip individuals with
the skills necessary to be

AHS’s shelters and clinics.

organization will increase
its capacity to help more
animals and keep even
more people and their pets

Applications are now
open for the Vet Tech
Training Program, and
the first cohort, which will
begin in October, will have
five individuals. Addition-
al cohorts are expected to
start approximately every
three to four months. In-
dividuals accepted into
the cohort will be paid an
hourly salary and receive
benefits while participat-

Every year Animal

for more than 100,000
animals: those that need

Brittni, who lives at Hammer Residences’ Gardner home in Wayzata, stands in the doorway to her
bedroom.

going staffing shortages,
during which the organiza-
tions’ direct care staff of-
ten pick up extra shifts and
sacrifice time with their
own families to ensure the
individuals they serve have
the support and care they
need 24/7.
“Ultimately, they live
out our mission of helping
the 370+ individuals Ham-
mer serves to live their best
lives,” Estrem said.
Evidence of that mis-
sion being fulfilled can
be easily found at Ham-
mer’s Gardner home in
Wayzata, where decades
of combined DSP experi-
ence provides support for
the home’s three residents:
Brittni, Dawn and Sarah.
Upon a recent visit,
Dawn, who has lived at the
home for 12 years, talked
about her new job at the
local Juut Salon.
“I’m a salon assistant.
I’ve been working there
for seven weeks,” Dawn
said, adding that her favor-
ite perks of the job are the
discounted hair cuts and
hair coloring.
When she’s not working,
Dawn likes to go shopping
or get coffee at Starbucks
with her friends. When at
home, the women like to
have dinner together, ex-
ercise by running on the
treadmill or dancing and
play games after finishing
up their chores.
Leaving the house typi-
cally involves going to
church on Tuesday nights,
bowling or catching the
occasional show at the
Chanhassen Dinner The-
atre.
Sarah moved into the
Gardner home only a year
ago but quickly found a
connection with Brittni,
who has lived there for 13
years, when she learned
the fact that they share the
same birthday.
“What do you always say
to each other at bedtime?
What do you call each
other,” asked Emily Robil-
lard, an assistant program
manager for Hammer.
“Sisters,” Brittni re-
sponded.
“She says, ‘Goodnight
sis,” Robillard added. “You
just kind of become family
with everybody.”
Among those helping
build that familial struc-
ture is Annie Critzer, pro-
gram manager for Ham-
mer, who applauded the
other DSPs – Julia Barn-
hill, Glenda Golden and
Olu Mustapha – for their
tireless work at the Gard-
ner home.
“The team here is so
strong and they’re so great
at their job and everything
that they do,” Critzer said.
“They take initiative. They
go above and beyond in
every way shape and form.
They pick up extra shifts
and help each other out. ...
I really love this team. Ob-
viously, we’re here for the
women and we’ve got great
women here.”
Golden, who has worked
in the disability services
industry for 45 years, has
Crystal • Robbinsdale • New Hope • Golden Valley Sun Post
(SUN PHOTO BY JASON JENKINS)
been with Hammer for a
year and helping at the
Gardner home for about
four months.
“[Critzer and Robillard]
made it so easy for me to
come in. They wrote ev-
erything down, step by
step and hour by hour. I’ve
never seen it before, but
that was so helpful for me. I
really appreciate them very
much,” Golden said. “The
staff here is awesome.”
Kathy Ganzer, Sarah’s
mother, said she is ex-
tremely grateful for Ham-
mer and everyone working
at the Gardner home.
“This has been such a
good fit. ... The staff actu-
ally participates with the
girls. They don’t just drop
them off somewhere and
pick them up later or sit on
their phones. They are ac-
tively engaging with them
and it really is like a fam-
ily,” Ganzer said. “It really
is amazing.”
In the past year, Ganzer
said it’s been wonderful to
watch as Sarah has grow
and continued to gain con-
fidence in herself.
“I’m just super happy,”
she sad. “I mean, it makes
me cry. I just can’t tell you
the joy it gives me every
time I see her and every
time I hear what she’s do-
ing.”

strom made an analogy to
a car, comparing what is
evident in how a car drives
and determining what’s un-
der the hood that should
be addressed. For example,
educators may consider
whether a student needs as-
sistance with sound process-
ing or memory. Tools help
diagnose the issues, and
instruction can be adapted
Heather Anderson, who
teaches fifth and sixth
grades, said she often hears
from past students who
share their successes with
her. For example, she said
one former student is now a
psychologist while another
is thriving in her business.
One past student acknowl-
edged some struggles but
said what she learned at
Groves helped her gain
confidence in college and
beyond. The former stu-
dent learned how to view
her learning difference as a
strength rather than a dis-
ability, Anderson said.
Students at the school
have an ability to think
creatively and show grit in
overcoming challenges, said
Anderson who has worked
at the school for 20 years.
“If you can get that little
spark and that confidence
just going, whether it’s read-
ing, math, writing – whatev-
er their struggle is – they can
soar,” Anderson said.
Head of School Kim-
berly Peeples indicated that
a technique that may work
with one student may not
resonate with another stu-
dent. The school uses data
to inform the learning expe-
riences the school will create
for each individual, she said.
Peeples has been the par-
ent of a Groves student who
is now a junior at Augsburg
University.
“It’s through the wonder-
ful educators that he’s had
here at Groves that he’s able
to be as successful as he is
at Augsburg right now,” she
said.
She became head of
school while he attended
the school, allowing her to
hand him a diploma using a
pizza paddle through a car
window during a pandemic-
altered graduation ceremo-
ny in 2020.
“That’s one of the joys of
being the head of school,”
she said of the experience.
Sarah Anderson, who at-
tended the school as a stu-
dent for seven years, said,
“The trajectory of my life
changed because of the edu-
cation I received which ca-
tered to my learning style. I
became confident in asking
for help and built meaning-
ful connections that set me
up to succeed to graduate
from college and obtain a
meaningful career. With-
out Groves I am confident
I wouldn’t have had the op-
portunities that I have now,
and that is a powerful feel-
ing.”

Falcons continue unbeaten run against Park Center

Armstrong has gone
8 games unbeaten
following a 3-0 win
over Park Center
By RACE ARCHIBALD
race.archibald@apgecm.com

The Armstrong boys soccer

team has been one of the best in
the state so far this season.
The Falcons rode a 7-game
unbeaten streak into the Sept. 21
matchup with Park Center. The
Pirates have proven themselves
to be a tough out this season de-
spite losing a lot of talent from
last year.
But Park Center entered the
game losing two of their last
three games, conceding four
goals in both losses.
It took some time for Arm-
strong to find their footing, but
they eventually found the back
of the net in a 3-0 win over the
Pirates at Park Center High
School.
In the opening 20 minutes,
the Falcons had just one shot,
coming from midfielder Micah
Miller that went well over the
crossbar. Armstrong was spend-
ing a lot of time on the ball with
little to show for it.
The opening goal finally came
with a little over 14 minutes re-
maining in the half. Forward
William Saar, who came off the
bench, received the ball on the
right side of the penalty box.
There was a defender near him
but with some impressive indi-
vidual skill, he cleared room for
a shot that went right past the
goalkeeper for a 1-0 lead.
Park Center’s strength in mid-
field was weakened on the night
with the absence of sophomore
Johanso Camacho. More re-
sponsibility fell onto the shoul-
ders of Angel Martinez, Pablo
Casillas Lopez and Adahir Bri-
to-Salgado in the middle of the
park.
They performed admirably in
the first half with Armstrong’s
midfielders – most notably
Miller, Nathan Ore and Ryder
Tomlinson-Sterud – constantly
in their space and making plays
defensively.
It didn’t take long for Arm-
strong to extend their lead right
after halftime. Not even a min-
ute had gone by when freshman
forward Moses Kamara tapped
in a cross from Miller to make it
2-0. Miller’s picture-perfect cross
needed only the slightest touch
to be directed towards goal. It

was an instant gut-punch to Park
Center as the game began to drift
away from them.
Ten minutes later, Armstrong
won a free kick in the attacking
third. Nathan Hunt delivered the
ball into the box for Mohammed
Abdulrahman to put a head on.
He made it 3-0 and the Falcons
were on their way to victory.
A bad night got even worse
for the Pirates later on as Casil-
las Lopez received a red card
for an altercation with an Arm-
strong player after both went to
the ground challenging for the
ball. Due to the nature of the
exchange, it could result in more
than the one-game suspension a
red card calls for.
Towards the end of the game,
midfielder Titus Lee had to be
helped off the field with a lower
body injury.
