Birthday girl collects 552 pounds of food for ICA

Zoey Busch, a student
at Minnetonka Middle
School East, just conclud-
ed her 12th annual birth-
day food drive for ICA
Food Shelf.
With the help of her
schoolmates, friends, and
community, Zoey collected
552 pounds of food, mak-
ing her total lifetime dona-

also collected $530, for
an accumulative $2,820 in
cash donations.
Collecting food and cash
donations for the ICA
Food Shelf is a tradition
her parents Sandy Dostal
and Darin Busch began on
her first birthday.
It was a way for them to
reduce the number of toys
she would otherwise get
and instead, use it as an
opportunity give to those
less fortunate. It has since
turned into a gift Zoey has
fully embraced, according
to her parents.

Former EP resident shares Minnetonka family history in new book

‘Growing up
Minneapolis &
Minnetonka: A City,
A Lake and A Family’
releases Nov. 15
By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
“Growing up Minneapolis &
Minnetonka: A City, A Lake and
A Family” is the latest book from
author and former 15-year Eden
Prairie resident Ross Fruen.
The narrative nonfiction book
follows Fruen’s family history,
which spans decades on Lake
Minnetonka and Minneapolis.
His great-grandfather, William
Fruen, was a pioneer in the mill-
ing and spring water industry,
while his great-grandmother
Henrietta was both a poet and
Swedish immigrant whose fam-
ily settled the Dakota hunting
grounds in 1852. His grandpar-
ents purchased and developed
Big Island’s Crown Point. It
is safe to say that Fruen’s fam-
Author Ross Fruen.
ily history is deeply entrenched
in both Minneapolis and Lake
Minnetonka.
The three elements of the
book’s title — a city, a lake and
a family — all play a vital role in
the story, he said. The book ulti-
mately showcases how the three
intertwine together.
“I’ve got a lot of stories and a
lot of family history. My family
has never thrown anything away
for (the) 170 years that we’ve
been in the metro area and an-
other reason was I want to give
my children a written legacy of
(SUBMITTED PHOTO)
the family they could hold in
their hands and pass along,” he
said.
Fruen called the book pro-
vocative and teased some of
the most exciting elements of
the book, including gangsters,
the rivalry between St. Paul and
Minneapolis in the late 1800s
and his grandfather Arthur B.
Fruen’s time on Minneapolis
City Council for 24 years includ-
ing two terms as president.
“It was kind of a wild time and
Kid Cann was sort of the boss
of the Minneapolis mob, you

and a Family.”
could call it, and he lived right
in the same neighborhood. Just
different times. So if somebody
tells you about the good old days,
they weren’t always that good,”
he said. “It just intertwines be-
tween the lake and where my
grandparents built a family ha-
ven for get-togethers and... that
made the family really close be-
cause every weekend we were out
there. To me, it was amazing to
be waking up in southwest Min-
neapolis and then 40 minutes
later being in a cabin on an island
in a lake.”
Fruen maintains the “crazy
stuff ” in the book that has all
been verified. Overall, he said
the book will help people bet-
ter understand the Minneapolis
area and how the grain industry
propelled it to prominence, in-
cluding information about the
Washburn A Mill explosion.
Among his favorite chapters is
the introduction beginning with
a narrative about a family week-
end on Big Island, the chapter
focusing on the rivalry between
the Twin Cities and the chapter
focusing on gangsters and riots.
“Unknown history, unseen
photographs and great stories,”
he said to sum the book up.
The last book penned by
Fruen was “Boys of the Brule:
Centuries of Comradery on
Wisconsin’s River of Presidents”
published in 2018, which also
chronicled Fruen’s family his-
tory and their interactions with
the Dakota.
The book will be released on
Nov. 15, available at CablePub-
lishing.com, Amazon and other
Minnesota book retailers.

Terrific free offer
to help more
students succeed
Sal Khan is making what
appears to be a wonderful,
free offer to high school
and college students as well
as their families. He’s pro-
viding free online one-on-
one tutoring in pre-alge-
bra, algebra 1-2, calculus,
geometry, trigonometry,
pre-calculus, calculus and
statistics. He’s also offer-
ing free tutoring about
how to do well on the SAT
college entrance test and
Advanced Placement math
and science tests.
Before deciding on
whether you want to check
out the offer, you might
want to know who Sal
Khan is. A few facts:
• He earned degrees from
Harvard and MIT.
• Khan started off tu-
toring his cousin in math,
and things expanded from
there because more family
members, and then more
people, asked for his help.
• Based on these requests,
he created the (free) on-
line Khan Academy. This
has more than 1,600 free
videos about various aca-
demic subjects, including
math, science, computing,
history, art history, and
economics.
• Each of the videos lasts
10-20 minutes. Khan Acad-
emy’s FAQ page is here:
https://bit.ly/3DCg6sF.
• Khan is focused on
helping students succeed
and gain mastery. His pri-
ority is NOT on improv-
ing test scores. Here’s a

which he explains how

sonalized learning: https://

Golden Valley
woman honors
uncle lost to
1944 USS
Grayback
tragedy
By ALAINA ROOKER
alaina.rooker@apgecm.com
For much of her child-
hood, Rebecca Bell knew
that her uncle Richard had
gone missing in World War
II, but her parents were
tight-lipped about the de-
tails.
“I think it’s genera-
tional,” the Golden Val-
ley woman said. “WWII
veterans didn’t talk about
things. There wasn’t an
emphasis on ‘processing’
anything. They were very
proud of what happened
and what their generation
did. ... They just didn’t
want to relive the details.”
To the Bell family’s cred-
it, the details of Richard’s
death weren’t widely docu-
mented. In fact, for several
decades, even the U.S. Mil-
itary didn’t have his story
quite right.
Frederick Richard Bell
and 79 other seamen went
missing in a Navy subma-
rine called the USS Gray-
back in the spring of 1944.
The Grayback was set to
return to the Midway Atoll
in early March, but after it
went missing for several
weeks, it was presumed
lost.
In the immediate after-
math of the war, the U.S.
gathered information on
all of its lost submarines
via translation of Japanese
records. The documents
reported the sub had been
damaged Feb. 26 and sunk

rate attacks from Japanese

The powerful, vulnerable Tambor class
Tambor-class submarines like the USS Grayback
were an ill-fated bunch; They weighed 1,500 tons, and
their centralized engine rooms made them vulnerable
to attack. Seven of the 12 were sunk in just over a one-
year period from 1943-1944.
“No other American submarine class suffered as
high losses in proportion to its numbers in the Pacific,”
reports the Pacific War Online Encyclopedia.
The Grayback was the second to last to be lost to en-
emy action, but saw considerable success before then.
According to The U.S. Department of Defense, it was
one of the most successful submarines of World War
II, conducting 10 war patrols and sinking 14 ships to-
taling more than 63,000 tons

Perron volunteered for
service in 1968 with the
United States Army and
participated in the horrific
Battle of Hamburger Hill.
Perron ran up and down
the 937-meter-high jungle
mountain every day of
the ten-day battle. He was
wounded on his last run,
but still had the strength to
carry his medic back down
the hill. Perron’s experience
is recorded at West Point’s
Center for Oral History.
Sorich and Coopet first
met in 1969 when they
served together in the 11th
Armored Cavalry “Black
Horse” Regiment of the
United States Army. This
famous regiment was es-
tablished in 1901 and has
a history of service in both
World Wars as well as Viet-
nam. The two veterans
reunited in the 1980s and
have become good friends.
Sorich hails from a
dedicated military family.
In Vietnam, Sorich’s unit
sustained heavy combat
losses. Of the 120 men in
his Alpha Unit, 21 were
killed and 60 were severely
wounded. After returning

When it came to his di-

others and he encouraged

Among other decorations,

the Bronze Star with Valor.

project.
Explaining why many
veterans choose not to
talk about their experi-
ence, Sorich said, “As Viet-
nam vets there has always
been a good deal of futil-
ity and frustration in our
experience and lives.” He
reflects, “In my personal
nity she’s found with her
castmates.
“We’ve worked really
hard on it,” she said about
the show. “It is great to
support the arts because
it supports our commu-
nity overall and it’s a great
way to come together as a
school and as a city overall.
And we’ve just worked re-
ally hard on this show and
our acting and our sing-
ing and our dancing, and
it would be great if you
come to support Hopkins
Theatre.”

Hopkins Junior Gabriel
Jones, a familiar face in
Hopkins Theatre, plays
Kyle, also known as the
UPS guy.
“Kyle is unaware of
what’s happening around
him, and he’s kind of a
corny guy and makes peo-
ple laugh,” he said.
One of his favorite mo-
ments in the show is when
Kyle’s nose gets broken,
which requires acting on
cue and perfect timing to
get the scene right.
“Overall, I would prob-
ably say if you want to have
a laugh, this would prob-
ably be the best show,” he
said. “And to see how well
we put this show together
because this show, we’ve
only been doing it for two
months, and to see how
much we can get done in
two months is absolutely
amazing.”

with this expression of
gratitude: “We honor you
for your service, for leaving
all you held dear, for stand-
ing in harm’s way in a time
of crisis, and for protecting
us from the effects of war.
We know freedom is not
free. The cost of freedom is
the dedication of men and
women like you. This Quilt
of Valor is our way to say
thank you for your service,
sacrifice and valor.”
Quilts of Valor are sewn
by members of the Lake
Minnetonka Chapter
DAR and are rich with
meaning.
“The many colors and
shapes on the top of the
quilt represent the diverse
individuals we are. The
warm batting in the center
of the quilt represents our
hope that this quilt will
bring comfort, peace and
healing to the individual
who receives it. The back-
ing is the strength that
supports the other layers,
representing the strength
of the recipient and the
support of our communi-
ties and our nation,” said
Lake Minnetonka Regent
Gigi Hickey. “Every stitch
holding the layers together
represents our gratitude.”

November Issue
Minnetonka bakers create State Fair ribbon winners
By SUE WEBER
Contributing Writer
Two Minnetonka men
who have always enjoyed
baking started turning out
baked goods early in life,
and each has developed a
niche for unique treats.
Barry Zelickson
Barry Zelickson said
he started baking when
he was in high school in
Golden Valley. He recalls
entering the Minnesota
State Fair then and taking
second place in cookies
and third place for a cake.
“It was a fun thing to do,”
he said.
“I found I enjoyed it,” he
said. He came by his inter-
est in food honestly. His
mom, Sue Zelickson, is a
well-known local foodie.
“My mom has a passion
for food,” he said.
He didn’t do any baking
then for a very long time,
but when COVID hit, the
timing was right, he said.
“My focus is sourdough,”
Zelickson said.
His jalapeño sourdough
bread earned him a red rib-
bon in this year’s Minneso-
ta State Fair competition.
“My sourdough journey
started when I decided to
revisit my high school bak-
ing hobby and picked up a
50-pound bag of flour,”
Zelickson said. “From
that point I have made
multiple sourdough start-
ers and baked goods, won
a national baking contest,
went to bread camp (yes,
it is a real thing), con-
vinced my wife to put a
micro bakery oven in our
home kitchen, was gifted
a 1940s industrial bread
slicer (from my kids) and
even baked 260 custom-
ized mini sourdough bread
loaves as guest gifts for my
son’s wedding.”
“If it makes people hap-

flavors.
py, I’m happy. I have a lot
of very passionate follow-
ers.”
“My friends and family
love my creations and have
provided me with great
feedback, in exchange for
loaves of bread, to help me
improve my craft,” Zelick-
son’s website says. “They
now have pushed me to
make this baking portal
to offer up for sale my de-
licious baked goods and
allow everyone to share
in the dough. I bake items
on a limited supply basis
to those who may want to
try any of the various cre-
ations that come to mind
and are baked into reality.
“I created a website for
people to order my baked
goods. I post what’s avail-
able on Monday, they or-
der by Wednesday, and I

rent space for an hour on
Saturday for them to pick
up their orders.”
One of his specialties
is chocolate sourdough;
another is jalapeno sour-
dough.
“I like to practice and
try different things,” he
said. “It’s not a business;
it’s a hobby. I do it because
I enjoy it.”
Now, Zelickson has
been invited to be part of
the Taste of NFL chari-
table fundraiser prior to
the Super Bowl LVII game
in Glendale, Arizona, on
Feb. 11, 2023. “How could
I turn that down?” he
said. “I’ll do my chocolate
cherry Oreo and my jala-
peno cheddar sourdough
breads.”
In the meantime, he has
experimented with smok-

Ridge in Duluth.
ing meats, “to add protein
to the carbs.” “It’s truly
just a side hobby I enjoy,”
he said.
When he’s not baking,
Zelickson works in real es-
tate for Marvin Manage-
ment.
He and his wife Lisa,
married 32 years, have a
son who also makes bread,
and a daughter.
Tom Burns
Tom Burns won a red
ribbon at this year’s Min-
nesota State Fair for his
entry in the international
baking class.
He likes to bake French
pastries called canelés de
Bordeau and Kouign-
amann. “I enjoy baking
and playing with things
that are a little different,”
Burns said.
The canelé, he said, is
“almost like a baked cus-
tard. The recipe has eight
eggs; it is made in a special
tin, though you can use a
muffin tin. In France they
use a copper tin that has
individual cups the size of
a Dixie cup.”
“Melted beeswax with
butter is brushed on the
inside of the pan,” Burns
said. “It is flavored with
rum and vanilla. You mix
the batter and refrigerate.
(SUBMITTED PHOTO)
The flavors need two days
to gel. The outside is a
crisp crust, and it crunches
when you bite into it. The
inside is a moist custardy
center.”
He made the canelé
the morning of the dead-
line for State Fair entries,
Burns said. “For the best
flavor and aroma, entries
should be submitted with-
in an hour or two of being
removed from the oven,”
he said. “Entrants are re-
quired to submit a copy of
the recipe. It’s kind of fun.”
He learned that 30% of
the grade on each entry is
on appearance and color,
35% on texture and inten-
sity, and 35% on flavor and
aroma.
Comments he received
from the judge praised
“beautiful execution, less
shiny than classic, and
balanced flavor.”
“The judges are food
scientists, and they move
from category to cat-
egory,” Burns said. “One
judge said she’d been do-
ing this for 25 years.”
Another of the ethnic
sweets he has entered in
the State Fair competi-
tion, Kouign-amann, is
a pastry that originated
in a small fishing town in
France’s Brittany region.
sailor.mnsun.com
Nov. 10, 2022
He became acquainted
with the pastry after
watching Chef John on
YouTube, Burns said.
“They are fantastic,” he
said. “You make them in
muffin tins. It’s a bread
prepared very much like
croissants, with lots of
sugar, butter, and salt. It’s
salty and sweet. “
A few years back, he
and his wife, Kathy, went
to France and decided to
visit that fishing town and
buy the pastries. “You
could see them at every
street corner,” Burns said.
“You get them fresh, drip-
ping with butter.”
Entering the State Fair
starts with standing in a
long line to drop off the
baked good, Burns said.
“It was really fun to be in
line with like-minded peo-
ple and to hear the stories
they tell,” he said. “Some
of them have been baking
and winning forever. One
lady carried all her entries
in a red wagon.”
Burns said he and his
wife have gone to the State
Fair every year since their
kids were born. “Every
year we go through the ac-
tivities building,” he said.
Burns remembers his
grandmother letting him
watch while she baked,
though, he said, “I didn’t
get to participate. I didn’t
do much until I was on my
own.”
Now, pies, preferably
apple and rhubarb in sea-
son, are his most frequent
dessert offerings.
His wife, Kathy, has
entered her sugar cook-
ies twice at the State Fair,
but hasn’t scored a ribbon
yet.
A native of St. Paul
now retired from a career
in the telephone industry,
Burns enjoys woodwork-
ing, photography and
birding in his spare time.

Strategy pays in silver for Royals
cross country’s Sydney Drevlow
By JOHN SHERMAN

History repeated itself
Saturday, Nov. 5, in North-
field when Hopkins sopho-

ished second in the State
Class AAA Girls Cross
Country Meet for the sec-
ond year in a row.
Wayzata senior Abbey
Nechanicky, who didn’t run
at state last year due to an
injury, was a heavy favorite
to take the state individual
title on Saturday. Drevlow
didn’t exactly defer to her,
but did acknowledge after
the race that she would have
had trouble trying to out-
run Nechanicky. “Abbey is
a great runner, and I can’t
keep that pace for a whole
5K,” Drevlow said..
From Nechanicky’s point
of view, her strategy was to
get ahead and stay ahead,
with times for each mile at
approximately 5 minutes.
Thus, she finished the 3.2-
mile course in a state-meet-
record time of 16:47.7.
Surprisingly, that is not her
fastest time of the season. (SUN PHOTO BY JOHN SHERMAN)

Power rankings
Maple Grove, Rose-
mount and Eden Prairie
continue as the top three
teams in the Sun Newspa-
pers state Class 6A football
power rankings this week.
All three advance to the
State 6A Tournament this
week along with Shakopee,
Lakeville South, Stillwater,
East Ridge and Centen-
nial.
The most exciting play-
off game last Friday was
East Ridge pulling out a
28-27 victory over Prior
Lake - a mild upset ac-
cording to the Sun power
rankings.
It was business as usual
for the top three teams, al-
though it took Rosemount
a while to get going in its
home game against Way-
zata. The score was 14-14
at halftime, and then the
Irish had three long touch-
down runs in the second
half to pull away, 42-14.
Eden Prairie had one of
its best offensive nights of
the season, rushing for 403
yards in a 55-14 victory
over visiting Woodbury.
“We had a lot of different
guys carrying the ball,” EP
head coach Mike Grant
said. The game was a com-
ing out party for Eagle
sophomore Elijah Rumpf,
who had 80 yards and a
touchdown on three car-
ries.
No. 1 Maple Grove
looked sharp in ending
Forest Lake’s season 54-

pulling out a 14-7 victory.

With Shakopee as

Thursday, Nov. 10, on
a neutral field at Park

“Our goal at this point
in the season is to play
one quarter at a time.
We need four quarters
against Shakopee to get
to the semifinals at U.S.
Bank Stadium. After
that we’ll need four more
quarters to get to the
Prep Bowl, and they we’ll
need four quarters to win
the championship.”
The Eagles lost to Sha-
kopee 31-14 in a Satur-
day afternoon game at
Shakopee earlier this
season, but Grant quick-
ly put that game in the
rear-view mirror.

Nick Gilles wins another state running medal

By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com

“Remarkable” is the
word that best describes
Nick Gilles’ career as a
track and cross country
runner for Minnetonka
High School.
In the State Class AAA
Cross Country Meet Nov.
5 at St. Olaf College in
Northfield, Gilles had the
opportunity to become
one of the very few run-
ners who have won back-
to-back state titles. While
he ran well on a cold day,
he was unseated by two
Minneapolis City Confer-
ence runners, champion
Aidan Jones from Wash-
burn and runner-up Sam
Scott from Southwest.
Gilles has raced long
enough to know that even
the best runners don’t win

Olaf after the race. “We
have had such a good
team dynamic this sea-
son. Everyone connects
with the team.”
“And we have a lot of
good young runners,”
said Hering, who will
return as a senior next
season.
Part of Ali and Her-
ing’s success was the
consistency of their
training, going back
to the summer months
when they trained to-
gether. They ran on hot
days, cool days, even
rainy days, to stay fit
and focused. When the
high school season be-
gan Aug. 15, they were
reunited with their head
coach and mentor, the
legendary Mike Harris.
The temperature for
the beginning of the
state Class AAA boys
race on Saturday morn-
ing was only 40 degrees,
but Ali and Hering
didn’t mind.
“I didn’t notice the
cold when I was racing,”
Hering said. “I kind of
like the cold.”
It was a fast track
at St. Olaf since there
hasn’t been much rain
lately. The pack leaders

apolis Washburn and
Sam Scott of Minne-
apolis Southwest, fin-
ished in the low 15s for
the 5K race. Defending
champion Nick Gilles
of Minnetonka went
15:27.1 for third place.
Ali was pleased to
set a personal record in
15:40.4. “This is a hard
course for a good time,”
he said.
Hering was pleased
to be All-State and sat-
isfied with his time of
15:53.2. Next season, he
will have a higher goal.
“Top ten,” he said.
Ali would like to run
in college and is look-
ing for an opportunity
at an NCAA Division I
university.
Now that it’s autumn
and soon to be winter,
Ali and Hering are al-
ready anticipating an-
other good season with
the Hopkins Royals
boys track team.

Teamwork plays key role for state Tonka girls CC team
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Minnetonka’s newest
varsity cross country run-
ner teamed with a senior
veteran to lead the Skip-
pers to second place in the
State Class AAA Meet Sat-
urday, Nov. 5, at Carleton
College in Northfield.
Stellar eighth-grader
Evie Malec put her stamp
on the season with a sixth-
place individual finish,
while senior leader Maya
Mor was right behind her
in seventh place. Min-
netonka’s second-place
finish was more gratifying
than surprising.
Mor didn’t think her
team could beat Lake Con-
ference rival Wayzata for
the title, so second-place
looked like a great goal as
the Skippers assembled at
the starting line just before
9:30 a.m. By the way, the
temperature at race time
was a cool 39 degrees.
“This is the first year I
have been able to run at
state,” Mor said after the
race. There was no state
meet her sophomore year,
due to COVID-19, and as
a junior she couldn’t run
because of an injury.
“Maya has run only four
comeback from an injury.”
Mor was patient in re-
habbing an injury. She was
determined to compete as
a senior this fall, and thus,
she took the entire sum-
mer off. “I didn’t run a mile
all summer,” she said.
Once Mor returned to
the lineup in late Sep-
tember, it put a charge in
the rest of the team. Mor
was super supportive of
the younger runners and
took a special interest in
Malec’s progress.
“Today, Evie and I ran
together the whole race,”
Mor said. “That made it
less stressful for us.”
Malec finished the 5K
course in 18:13.5 for sixth
place and Mor ran 18:16.3
for seventh place.
Coach Reimer-Morgan
focused on the team’s
achievement in her post-
race comments.
“I am so proud of the
way our girls have perse-
vered through injuries to
get to this point,” she said.
