Same Minnetonka
Farmers Market,
brand new location
(SUN PHOTOS BY KAITLIN MCCOSKEY)
While the Minnetonka Farmers Market may be an
annual tradition, the location of this year’s market is
brand new. Beginning June 6, the Farmers Market will
take place for the rest of the summer at Minnetonka’s
new Ridgedale Commons Park each Tuesday. At the
June 27 market, stands were set up all around the new
park space for attendees to purchase goods from local
businesses. The Farmers Market will run weekly from 3
until 7 p.m. through Sept. 26.

Ladybug painted on Hopkins intersection for traffic regulation

Neighborhood hopes unique project slows down traffic
By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
The intersection of 9th
Avenue North and 2nd
Street North in Hopkins
has a new, colorful addi-
tion: a ladybug.
The idea to paint the la-
dybug on the intersection
came from Hopkins resi-
dent Josh Montgomery,
who’s been working on
getting people on board
with the idea for the past
year. Part of his inspira-
tion came from the Wall-
ingford ladybug, where
Montgomery used to live.
A ladybug was painted at
the intersection of North
49th Street and Burke Av-
enue North in Washing-
ton in 2004. He hoped to
bring an idea like that to
Hopkins, pitching the idea
various times at neighbor-
hood meetings, contacting
the city and even speaking
to the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Transportation to
make it happen.

nity-building tool to bring

PTSD: A pervasive and crippling disorder
I have great respect for
veterans and for what
they’ve done for our coun-
try. I can never know the
horrors that they experi-
enced in war. Perhaps that’s
why many people still asso-
ciate the term PTSD with
war-time veterans.
However, there are many
victims of domestic abuse
who now have that crip-
pling disorder, yet feel they
don’t deserve help because
they aren’t veterans. The
National Center for PTSD
has found that 7 or 8 out of
every 100 people (or 7-8%
of the population) will

my therapist. She was read-
ing a long list of symptoms
that I had reported to her.
When she finished reading,
she looked up at me and
said, “Carter, you’ve got
every one of those symp-
toms.” Then she handed
thing called Post Traumat-
ic Stress Disorder.
I responded as many
people might do today. I
said I was not in the mili-
tary. She put down the list
and moved her chair over
to me. She very quietly
said, “Carter, you weren’t
in the military. But you
were in a long war, and
you went through it alone
as a child – and there was
no platoon there to back
you up.”
That diagnosis began to
change my life – as has the
unconditional love and pa-
tience from my wife, Teri.
So I began accepting my-
self – and forgiving myself.
I’m still trying.
Several years ago, I was
meeting with a new friend
at a local restaurant. I
took a seat facing the door
and assumed she’d sit in
the other seat facing me.
Instead, she asked if she
could sit facing the door
herself. She saw that I was
puzzled, and explained it
had a lot to do with grow-
ing up with an abusive
father who was prone to
rages, especially when he
was drunk. Recognizing
those symptoms, I men-
tioned that they sounded
like post-traumatic stress
disorder. She laughed a bit
and said, “I’m not a veter-
an, so PTSD doesn’t really
apply to me.”
Domestic abuse comes
in many forms, not all of
them physical. It could in-
clude constant criticizing
and controlling from your
partner. It could include
their continued denial,
distancing and detaching
from you. It could include
their outbursts of anger,
rage and blame. So go on-
line and learn the symp-
toms of PTSD. Veteran or
not, if you experience any
symptoms of abuse, then
you deserve help. If one of
your loved ones is experi-
encing them, then they de-
serve that help, as well. We
all deserve it.

he continues to literally

efficiently used, person-

calling, an NYU study
found that during the pan-
demic, providers generally
preferred video calls to
conduct appointments. The
same study found that pa-
tients began with a strong
preference for audio-only
calls versus video, but over
time, the gap narrowed.
While patients have come
around to video calling,
911 call centers are a bit
more resistant to change.
There are concerns that
video exchanges may put
trauma on dispatchers,
create security issues or in-
crease the time it takes to
answer calls. On top of that
is the general hesitation
to be an early adopter of
new tech; there is safety in
jumping on the bandwag-
on later, when GoodSAM
has a longer list of users
(stateside, the program is
used in San Antonio, Tex-

mind, these concerns have
been debunked in his trials
over the last few months.

Eden Prairie’s Flom is all-star series MVP Legion
Versatility,

Watching Joey Flom
during the Play Ball!
Minnesota All-Star Se-
ries at Chaska Athletic
Park, fans got a good
look at the Eden Prairie
High standout’s diverse
skills.
Ability to play sev-
eral positions along
with huge RBI statistics
helped Flom earn the se-
ries MVP award. He took
his place among some of
the past winners of the
top star plaque, which
include Joe Mauer and
Glen Perkins, two for-
mer Minnesota Twins
greats.
“It was fun to play with
and against so many
good players this week,”
Flom said after receiving
his MVP award June 24
after the championship
game that his Metro
West team won 4-3 over
Minnesota South.
In the all-star series,
players from around
the state are placed on
one of the six teams,
based on geography. On
the Metro West team
along with Flom were

fielder Jackson Hunter,

match that my mom was
able to attend this year.”
“We never had a chance
to play together until this
year,” Winston said. “Wil-
liam has a big first serve -
and he loves to win.”
William said, “Winston
has a good serve and a good
forehand. Playing with him
was interesting. I thought
we had decent chemistry.”
Mark Wheaton is grate-
ful that coach Siegel asked
him to assist with the Min-
netonka varsity. “At first, he
asked me if I could just be
there for the matches,” Mark
recalled. “When I started
working with the players, I
wanted to be there for all of
the practices. I treasure the
time I can spend with my
sons because this all goes
by in such a blur.”
Marnie Wheaton is proud
of the success the next gen-
eration of Wheatons has
enjoyed. She also likes the
way her brothers, Mark and
John, coached their sons in
high school tennis.
“Mark is a doctor with his
own medical practice and
has always been a student
of tennis,” Marnie said. “I
remember how he used to
study David’s professional
opponents. Both Mark and
John are good at coaching
and teaching.”
Marnie said that William
takes after his dad with a
“studious” approach to
tennis.
“William is very mature,”
she said. “Winston is more
outgoing and social. They
both like playing doubles
more than singles. I always
liked singles more.”
Talking about the Whea-
ton Dynasty, Marnie said,
“There’s nothing like a
good family.”
Marnie’s mom and dad,
Mary Jane and Bruce, were
always loving and support-
ive.
“My dad passed away on
Feb. 1,” Marnie said. “He
was our rock, the steady
hand.”
Marnie added that there
was a good balance be-
tween her parents. “My
mom gave us our strength
and the drive,” she said.
Mark Wheaton talked
about the success his family
has had on the tennis court:
“It was nothing we set out
to do. God has orches-
trated our lives based on
faith and family with tennis
some place lower on the list.
There aren’t enough super-
latives to describe what our

was the 140th of his career.
“Tonight was classic
Donny,” Miller center
fielder Blaine Rutledge
said. “When he’s on, he
controls the game.”
Erdall used his usual
fastball-slider mix and
added a new wrinkle by
pulling the knuckleball
from his bag of tricks. The
knuckler was fluttering,
and the Bucs were guess-
ing. They had four hits
in eight innings against
Erdall, but all of those hits
came early in the contest.
“I think they had all
four hits in the first three
innings,” Erdall said in a
postgame interview. “It
was a good pitcher’s duel
tonight [with Anoka’s
Nate Tillman].”
Midway through the
eighth inning, Erdall and
Tillman had each allowed
a run, then in the bottom
of the eighth Minnetonka
scored four times.

tom of the eighth with a
four-pitch walk. After one
was out captain Joe Shal-
lenberger singled to left,
and then catcher Ethan
Roe singled to right cen-
ter for the first RBI of the
inning. Right fielder Nick
Thimsen followed with a
two-RBI double to right
center. Third baseman
Ethan Imdieke brought
Thimsen home with a sin-
gle to make the score 5-1.
At that point, Erdall
turned the pitching duties
over to former profession-
al player Paul Voelker, who
held the Bucs scoreless in
the top of the ninth.
Erdall was pleased that

hour and 39 minutes to
complete. “When was the
last time you saw that in
a nine-inning game?” he
asked.
The answer was, not of-
ten.
Erdall praised his catch-
er, Roe, who played college
baseball for St. John’s Uni-
versity and East Tennessee
State. “I had only pitched
to him three times before,”
Erdall said. “We have a
good connection.”

the eighth inning from the
dugout, Erdall couldn’t
help but think of all the
heroics Rutledge, Mike
Davis and Shallenberger
have provided over the last
two decades.
“That part of the order
does the same thing every
year,” Erdall said.
“I am happy we didn’t
let a good start {by Erdall]
go to waste,” Miller man-
ager Adam Goethke said.
“Donny did a great job. He
relied on his slider, busted

them inside with the fast-
ball and then used a power
knuckleball. The Anoka
pitcher was getting a lot of
one- and two-pitch outs.
Through six innings, he
had thrown on 57 pitches.
We have the arms this year.
The bats are hot some
nights, cold some nights,
but we’re finding ways to
get it done.”
The Millers have their
usual record this time of
the year. After defeating
the Bucs, their record is
18-3 overall, and their Riv-
erview League mark is 5-0.
Kevin Hoy, who man-
aged Minnetonka to 15
state Class A champion-
ships, continues as gen-
eral manager with veteran
pitcher “Gator” Goethke
taking over as field man-
ager and all-time Millers
great Mike Berset coach-
ing first base.
“Gator has been here
forever, and he gets the
Millers,” Erdall said. “He
has a great connection
with the younger players
and also with the older
guys, who he played with
for many years. I have
nothing but positive things
to say about both Kevin
and Gator.”
Erdall said he would like
to pitch for the Millers “as
long as they will have me.”
As for goals, he said,
“With 140 wins and 1,400
strikeouts, I would like to
turn those 4s into 5s.”
