Students shine in Excelsior Elementary Halloween Parade

After not being able to have the parade last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, residents eagerly lined the streets
By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com

The Excelsior Elemen-

tary Halloween Parade
has been a city tradition
for more than 50 years and
many were happy to see it
happen again last Friday
after missing out in 2020
due to the COVID-19 pan-
demic.
“Last year, when we
had to cancel, I certainly
received several emails.
People weren’t angry, they
understood, but they were
sad,” Excelsior Elementary
Principal Stacy DeCorsey
said, who dressed up in a gi-
ant turkey costume for the
parade.
At 1:30 p.m., the parade
began as residents and
parents lined the street to
watch the children march.
Rhoenan Tep, a first grader
dressed as Darth Vader,
led the parade as the grand
marshall alongside DeCors-
ey. Last summer, Rhoenan
was diagnosed with Diffuse
Intrinsic Pontine Glioma,
an aggressive form of child-
hood brain cancer that only
about 300 children get diag-
nosed with every year. Ex-
celsior Elementary wanted
to honor him by making
him the grand marshall,
DeCorsey said.
After Rhoenan came the

marching band and a
constant trail of students

starting with kindergarten
and finishing with sixth
grade. Students dressed in
a wide variety of costumes,
including many Mandalo-
rians from Star Wars, gi-
ant dinosaurs, princesses,
superheroes, witches and
sports figures. Teachers
joined their students with

costumes of their own as
they led each class down the
street.
Two watchers from the
street were Peiling and

Terry Jamison, who attend
the parade nearly every year
and had fifth grader Leela
and second grader Evie
marching this year. They
came dressed as a family
of M&M’s, with Peiling in
a green costume, Terry in
a blue costume, Leela in a
yellow costume and Evie
in a pink costume.
“It’s pretty exciting,”
Peiling said. “This is our
last year to come, so we’re
so excited to able to do
kind of something that’s
normal and a staple of
downtown Excelsior, so
it’s fun to be back here.”
Martha Daniels and
Nancy Montoya set up
chairs together in prepa-
ration for the parade, both
also donning costumes to
join in the fun. Montoya
has attended for nearly
10 years after having a
daughter in the parade
years ago.
“I love it. I love to come
here every year,” Mon-
toya said, adding that she
missed not having the pa-
rade last year.
Daniels attended for the
first time this year dressed
as a ketchup bottle.
“For me, it’s a first time.
Right? But I think it’s im-
portant for the school to
reach out and then people
come and see. I think it’s
a way to be connected to
the area right here,” Dan-
iels said.
The parade concluded
with an Excelsior fire truck
driving along the street and
Sparky the Fire Dog, who
waved and interacted with
students as he walked in
front of it.
For DeCorsey, she has
many favorite parts of the
parade each year, but she
said she loves to see the kids
giggle, laugh and smile.
“We dance all way down
and all the way back up
Water Street,” she said.

What does a dentist, an elevator
boring contractor, a law enforce-
ment officer and a farmer living in
Minnesota have in common?
They are all eligible to fill a few
of the current 530 open appoint-
ed positions on various boards,
commissions, work groups and
task forces serving the State of
Minnesota in a variety of impor-
tant ways.
A dentist is needed for an open
seat on the nine-member Min-
nesota Board of Dentistry. This
board examines, licenses and
regulates dentists and dental
therapists, hygienists and assis-
tants and enforces the Minnesota
Dental Practices Act.
The State Advisory Council
on Wells and Borings is currently
looking for a licensed elevator
boring contractor to serve a four-
year term. This council advises
the Minnesota Department of
Health on licensing or registering
well contractors and explorers,
and on technical matters relating
to the regulation or the construc-
tion, maintenance and ultimate
sealing of wells and borings. The
council also advises the MDH
well program on policies, pro-
posed rule revisions and techni-
cal matters and administers oral
examination to well contractor
applicants.

ficer is needed to fill a seat on the

Teen Driver Safety Commission-
er’s Advisory Task Force, formed
by the State Legislature in 2019.
This task force, which is slated to
end its work in 2023, will advise
and provide input to the Minne-
sota Department of Public Safety
on teen driver issues with the goal
of reducing crashes, injuries and
deaths involving teen drivers. Be-
sides representatives of law en-
forcement and public and private
driver schools, the task force also
has seats needing to be filled by
four teen drivers and three com-
munity-at-large members.
An open seat on the Minne-
sota Pesticide Management Plan
Committee is reserved for a state
farmer. The committee, which
has been in force since 1976, pro-
vides the Minnesota Department
of Agriculture commissioner
with evaluation activities and
decisions related to the imple-
mentation of the state Pesticide
Management Plan for the Protec-
tion of Groundwater and Surface
Water (the PMP).
This quick review of just four
of the 254 boards, commissions,
work groups and task forces
shows just how necessary they are
to the workings of state govern-
ment and what an invaluable as-
set the 3,636 state residents serv-
ing in the current positions are to
the state.
Secretary of State Steve Simon,
whose office acts as a clearing-
house for applicants seeking po-
sitions on the state’s board, com-
missions, work groups and task
forces, said recently Minnesota is
fortunate residents consistently
show an eagerness to volunteer
their knowledge, skills and life ex-
periences to benefit the state. The
actual appointments are made by
the governor and the state depart-
ments and agencies where the vari-
ous groups are housed.
“We are seldom scrambling to
fill positions even though some
require very specific licensure and
affiliation,” Simon said.
The challenge, he added, is to
make sure every area of Minne-
sota, rural and urban, north and
south, east and west are adequately
represented. “We need people from
every corner of the state serving to
get a healthy balance of input and
opinions in the important deci-
sions these boards, commissions,
work groups and task forces make.
The impact they have on life in
Minnesota is immeasurable.”
And, just as important, is en-
couraging more members of di-
verse communities to apply. “We
need everyone at the table,” Simon
said.
This is why Simon says he speaks
about his office’s responsibility as
the clearinghouse for applications
at every opportunity. He is proud
of this unique role the Secretary
of State’s office plays in Minne-
sota since most states don’t have
the same system. The Minnesota
Open Appointments Act was au-
thorized by the Legislature in 1978
to simplify and open the appoint-
ment process.
As evidence of the effectiveness
of Minnesota’s appointment pro-
cess, Simon points to the fact that
there are over 24,000 subscribers
to the online “current openings”
notification.
Looking through the long and
varied list of opportunities to
serve the state in this way, every-
one who is interested and has the
time to serve should find some-
thing they qualify for and are pas-
sionate about.
A list of boards and commis-
sions, including open positions,
can be found on the Minnesota
Secretary of State’s website. For

Leave the leaves in your yard, not in the street
If you are a reader of a
certain age, you may have
wondered, “Where have all
the lightning bugs gone?”
Just because many of you
captured them in a jar and
found them dead the next
morning, their population
decline doesn’t rest (solely)
on your shoulders. Rather,
chances are, the overwin-
tering insects were carried
off with the leaf litter year
after year.
Water management or-
ganizations ask residents
to rake leaves out of the
streets so they don’t pol-
lute our lakes and creeks
– and that’s still an impor-
tant practice. However, we
now realize the importance
of keeping leaves in our
gardens and other areas
around our lots to avoid

decimating insect popula-
tions.
The new advice is to rake
the leaves into your exist-
ing gardens, rather than
composting them or send-
ing them away with com-
post haulers. In gardens,
leaves insulate the flowers
and plants, and offer vital
shelter and food for many
insects, amphibians, birds,
reptiles and small mam-
mals. Many insects curl
up in the leaf litter or bore
into hollow dead flower
stems. When we compost
the leaves, we are also com-
posting next year’s insect
populations. And these
insects are essential pol-
linators and an important
food source for birds and
other creatures.
If you like to keep things
tidy, try creating a pile of
leaves in the back of your
land, perhaps beneath
some spruce trees, or con-
sider constructing a deco-
rative fence to make it look
nice. By keeping leaves and
vegetation on site, you
can avoid unintentionally
hauling off hibernating
insects and then they have
a chance to emerge in the
spring.
An unintended conse-
quence of losing insects
includes losing many other
farther up the food chain
that depend on them. Ac-
cording to the Audubon
Society and Scientific
American, bird popula-
tions have declined 29%
since 1970 across nearly all
habitats. Ken Rosenberg, a
senior scientist at the Cor-
nell Lab of Ornithology
and the nonprofit Ameri-
can Bird Conservancy, re-
ports that the magnitude
of the decline could signifi-
cantly affect the continent’s
food webs and ecosystems.

EP residents see highest water bills since 2012

Hot and dry
summer led to
higher usage
By ANDREW WIG
andrew.wig@apgecm.com

The bill for maintaining

a green lawn over a hot and
dry summer is now coming
due, and it’s caused some
Eden Prairie residents to
do a double take.
The drought of this past
summer led to the highest
water usage in Eden Prairie
since 2012, the last extreme-
ly hot and dry summer, ac-
cording to Public Works
Director Robert Ellis.
The higher water bills
were startling enough to
some residents that the
city posted a news item
to its website explaining
the increase.
“We’ve had a few peo-
ple call in, just curious.
They almost can’t be-
lieve they use that much
water,” Ellis told the Sun
Sailor.
The 1.27 billion gallons
produced over the sum-
mer in Eden Prairie was
18% higher than the 10-
year average, Ellis noted
in an email he sent to a
group of curious resi-
dents. The shock of the
higher water bills was exac-
erbated by the whiplash ef-
fect of what Ellis described
as an abnormally wet and
cool summer of 2020.
Those facing the highest
water bills were residents
with in-ground sprinkler
systems, the city news item
noted. One factor associat-

cost of water in the city. After a hot and dry summer, many homeowners got the same lesson recently
when they received their quarterly water bills.
ed with those systems, Ellis
explained, is their automat-
ic nature, meaning they of-
ten run unnecessarily.
The University of Min-
nesota Extension office ad-
vises homeowners to pay
attention to the weather
when irrigating their lawn,
and avoid the “set it and
forget it” approach.
“You can drive across
Eden Prairie on a rainy day
and it’s not uncommon to
see irrigation systems run-
ning,” Ellis observed.
As much as 50% of
the water used outdoors
is lost to inefficient irri-
gation, according to the
Environmental Protection
Agency.
“We have one customer
that’s used over a million
gallons of water in the last
two summers,” Ellis said. “
… I don’t know that I’ve
personally seen (usage) that
high.”
In that case, there was a
leak in an irrigation system,
he added. In documented
cases of such leaks, the
city offers partial relief on
a case-by-case basis, Ellis
noted.
Residents should have
an easier time monitor-
ing their water usage with
the ongoing city-wide in-
stallation of new water
meters, which link to a
web application that can
tell homeowners whether
they leak while allowing
them to track their water
usage by the hour. Out of
about 20,000 customer
accounts, about 1,000 of
the new meters have been
installed, according to
Ellis.
Other city projects
addressing water usage
include an $8 million,
4-million-gallon water
(PHOTO COURTESY CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE)
reservoir that was recent-
ly built on the north side
of Highway 212, just east
Eden Prairie Road. That
project was undertaken
solely to accommodate
summer spikes in water
usage, according to Ellis.
Had the facility not
been completed before
this past summer, the city
might have had to ban
all outdoor watering just
to have enough on hand
for in-home uses such as
cooking, showering and
toilet flushing, Ellis wrote
in his email to residents.
A new $2 million well
is also in the works. The
need for such infrastruc-
ture is why the city, like
most in the metro, uses a
tiered water billing sys-
tem, in which water used
in the top consumption
tier, tier four, is priced
higher than the lower

Minnetonka author publishes her first novel

‘Out of Time’
takes readers on
a romantic romp
By KRISTEN MILLER
kristen.miller@apgecm.com
Longtime Minnetonka
resident Krista Badola is
excited to announce she is
a published author with the
recent release of her first
novel “Out of Time.”
“Honestly, it feels like a
dream come true,” said Ba-
dola of publishing her first
novel. “I’ve been walking
on clouds, and have been
known to break out into an
occasional happy dance.”
With a few breaks living
in London and Singapore,
Badola has lived in Min-
netonka with her husband
since 1994, where they also
raised their two now adult
daughters.
As is the motivation of
many authors, Badola was
inspired to write a novel
that she would want to read
and recommend to others.
“I love reading Scottish
time-travel novels – think
‘Outlander’ by Diana Gab-
aldon – but was not finding
the quality of books I re-
ally liked reading,” Badola
said. “Of course I thought,
‘Hey! I can write a book.
How hard can it be?’”

taken on a journey back in time
with the book’s modern-day
heroine, Abby.
Cale’s confusion turns into
searing passion, and read-
ers will discover whether
their passion helps or hin-
ders them from solving the
puzzle of his missing family.
For Badola, the most re-
latable character is the hero-
ine Abby.
“To me, the most inter-
esting character dynamic
is being able to see history
through a modern woman’s
eyes,” she said.
According to the trade

“Triumph of the Wiz-

“The Wizard King Trilo-

format.
A book signing with
Corrie has been set for

Eden Prairie.
Corrie has enjoyed cre-

“That sounds about right
to me,” she said. “Anyone
who enjoys an entertaining
romantic romp through his-
tory, with a bit of mystery
thrown in would truly enjoy
this book.”
While non-fiction has its
place, Badola said it’s also
nice to relax with a light
read once in a while.
She hopes readers can re-
lax, have fun with the jour-
ney of “Out of Time,” “and
maybe find a few laughs
along the way,” she said.
In the wake of this new
release, Badola is also
brainstorming her next lit-
erary endeavor.
“I’m toying with the
idea of writing a modern
day rom-com about being
married outside my culture
and all the hilarious situa-
tions that arise from that,”
Badola said. “What could
possibly go wrong with
reciting vows in a foreign
language?”

Ruth Barbara Miller
Ruth Barbara Miller, age 95,
passed away peacefully at White
Oaks of McHenry in McHenry,
Illinois on Wednesday, October
20, 2021.
She was born on August
7, 1926, in Williamsport,
Pennsylvania to Edith and
William Manz. On October 18,
1952, she married the love of her
life, Richard S. Miller. In the
summer of 1962, they moved to
Minnetonka, Minnesota.
Ruth was an amazing wife, mother, grandmother
and great grandmother. She loved taking care of her
family - her family was her life. Ruth cherished her
home on Canterbury Drive in Minnetonka where
she lived for almost 60 years. She was an incredible
hostess and loved being surrounded by friends and
family. She was a woman of great faith and a val-
iant prayer warrior. She loved to travel and was kind
and thoughtful to those she met along her journey
through life.
She is survived by her children, Yvonne (Brad)
Semel of McHenry, IL, Dan (Patti) Miller of St.
Bonifacius, MN, Steve Miller of Charleston, SC and
Barb (Ken) Morrison of St. Louis Park, MN; eight
grandchildren, Danielle Miller, Brandon (Meredith)
Semel, Brianna Miller, Sierra Semel, Peyton
Morrison, Anya Morrison, Aleya Miller, Symone
Morrison and great granddaughter Safidy Semel.
The family is very grateful for the wonderful care
of White Oaks and ProMedica Hospice who were
there to help make Ruth’s final days peaceful. They
ask that any donations in Ruth’s memory be made
to Trans World Radio (www.twr.org) or Ridgewood
Church in Minnetonka, MN.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Ruth on
Saturday, November 27 at Ridgewood Church, 4420

Former Excelsior mayor,

By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
Steve Finch, Excelsior
mayor from 1996 to 1998,
died Oct. 14 at the age of 78
from terminal cancer.
“Steve was someone with
tremendous conviction and
strength of character and
just a really strong com-
mitment to the city of Ex-
celsior. A real committed
leader and volunteer,” said
Excelsior Councilmem-
ber Jennifer Caron, who
knew Finch for more than
25 years and served on the
Planning Commission with
him. “He served as mayor

re-election. He was not re-
elected, but he continued
to serve the city from that
point forward.”
After his term as mayor,
Finch remained actively
involved in the city as a
28-year resident. He con-
tinued to serve Excelsior in
a variety of roles, includ-
ing a member of the Plan-
ning Commission, Heritage
Preservation Commission,
Charter Commission and
Finance Advisory Com-
mission.
According to Caron,
Finch and his Excelsior City
Council approved the Heri-
tage Preservation ordinance
restarting the Heritage
Preservation Commission
nearly 25 years ago.
“They approved the his-
toric downtown district
in Excelsior, that council,
and against just a lot of
opposition, but they were
future-thinking,” she said.
“Understanding that if that
type of action wasn’t taken,

we could lose our historic
district. We could lose our
historic buildings.”
Excelsior’s commercial
historic district was listed
on the National Register
of Historic Places just two
weeks ago. If Finch and his
council hadn’t restarted the
Heritage Preservation Com-
mission, Excelsior wouldn’t
have a district on the Na-
tional Register, Caron said.
Earlier this year, Excel-
sior recognized April 8 as
Steve Finch Day and placed
a banner above Water Street
to honor him. The city held
a gathering and an ice cream
social in the afternoon with
ice cream donated from
Tommy’s Tonka Trolley.
The idea was originally
suggested by Mayor Todd
Carlson during the April
5 Excelsior City Council
meeting.

referring to one of the
show’s most popular
tunes.
During the pandemic,

adapted by scheduling
outdoor performances
in the high school park-
ing lot and Minnetonka
Amphitheater.
While last year’s win-
ter production was done
in the theater, it was live-
streamed without a live
audience.
“We took lemons and
made lemonade, but it’s
not the same,” he said.
And after all of that ad-
aptation, this will be the
first one with a live orches-
tra, full crew, and a live au-
dience.
“It’s the whole shebang
... so it really is a big cel-
ebration to be back,”
Boyum said. “And if you
think about it, America
was just coming out of the
1918 pandemic,” providing
a cause for celebration that
also led to women wear-
ing shorter skirts, going to
speakeasies, and dancing to
jazz music like in the show.
“It just feels like a cel-
ebration for us after all this
time to welcome our au-
diences back, to welcome
people back to Minneton-
ka Theater,” he said.

choosing this particular
show was the great group

“Chicago” is based on a
true story from the 1920s
in which two women,

fame in vaudeville.
The show portrays

Glen Lake Go! the program takes
elementary students on the go
Each grade aims
for monthly field
trip, learning
experience
By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
Glen Lake Go!, a new
program for Glen Lake
Elementary students,
hopes to provide students
with about 10 unique ex-
periences and field trips
throughout the school
year.
The program is funded
by Glen Lake Elemen-
tary’s PTO and a $4,350
Hopkins Education
Foundation grant that
was awarded to the school
last spring. According
to Glen Lake Principal
Jeff Radel, the grant was
originally intended to help
fund experiences like off-
campus field trips. How-
ever, the beginning of the
COVID-19 pandemic put
a stop to field trips and
the funding instead went
toward the bus and for
wrapping it in graphics.
Glen Lake students
helped brainstorm the
wrap design for the bright
blue 14-passenger bus.
“I’m passionate about
rethinking the role of the
principal,” Radel said. “I
don’t want to be the one
that just sits in the office
and waits for things to
come to me. I’ve always
had a passion about being
in the classrooms as much
as I possibly can and when
this idea came forward, I
said ‘if I’m going to make
this idea happen, what can
I do to best make this idea
a reality?’”
He answered that by
pursuing a bus driving
license to drive the bus
himself.
“When you think of
the cost of a field trip, it’s
not the actual vehicle that
we’re paying for. We’re
paying for the driver and
drivers, and as we know,
there’s a bus driving short-
age,” he said. Radel began
training over the summer
and his final test was this
past weekend.
The Glen Lake Go! pro-
gram uses an experiential
learning philosophy, also
known as place-based
education, to immerse
students in local cultures,
landscapes and opportu-
nities as a foundation for
studying subjects across
the curriculum. The pro-
gram ties into the district’s
Vision 2031 philosophy,
which was created with
the core belief that every
student deserves a bril-
liant future.
“When you’re in the
classroom, there’s great
learning and there’s stan-
dards and there’s a cur-
riculum we need to make
sure students receive,”
Radel said. “At the same
time, a lot of that can be
siloed and students can’t
really see the application.
So if we can get them out-
side, into the world, into
these experiences and say
‘this is how your learning
in the classroom is go-

The Mess Hall Art Ex-

open Nov. 6 at 906 Main-

former Projects In Person
location.
The concept has been a
labor of love for Alexan-
dra “Zan” Starr of Min-
neapolis, who searched
the state for something
just like this for her family.
Every year, Starr tries
to plan something “really
fun and crazy” for her
husband, Steve’s birthday
in January.
Whether it was a scav-

which the couple created
abstract art on a large can-
vas while covered in paint.
She began researching
online for abstract paint-
ing venues, and found
“tons of stuff kids, but
nothing for adults.”
“How is this not in Min-
neapolis? Should I start
this?” Starr wondered.
As a mother of two
with a full-time job, Starr
didn’t think she could
take on a business start-
up.
“But then it kept pull-
ing me,” she said.
And the ideas kept
coming to her.
She even thought about
how much fun her chil-
dren have playing with

and sand, and how nice it

ignated space where they

ences is to “provide cre-

opportunity to explore

in a fun, playful environ-

“This is different than

said, describing what was
involved in each of the
sessions, ranging from
45 minutes for kids to
an hour-and-a-half for
adults.
Messy Jessy is for 4-12
year olds and features a

“It’s kind of what you
make it,” she said. “You
can be as interactive with
others or as private as you
want.”
They also have space for
corporate events, bach-

parties, etc.
Everyone is given a
16-foot-by-20-foot can-

take home, along with

come paint-ready with
their own gear.
Helping her run the
creative side of the op-
eration is her friend and
the general manager, Joey
Kearney.
“Joey really helps with
more of that true artist’s
side,” she said.
Starr said she is also ex-

community, having found

“The space was per-

ing the high ceilings and

which are conducive for
making a mess.
Guests can also enjoy
“poor artist” drinks in a
can, such as beer, wine,
seltzers, and an assort-
ment of non-alcoholic
beverages as well, in addi-
tion to snacks.

Tonka wins one for ‘Grandpa Dave’
Skippers’
mission ends
with win
over Blake at
Baseline
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
When Minnetonka ten-
nis coach Dave Stearns
passed away last Decem-
ber, shock waves went
through the Minnetonka
girls team.
The beloved Stearns,
who coached a rand total
of 64 boys and girls sea-
sons with the Skippers,
was the only high school
coach any of the girls had
ever played for, and right
away they thought of a
proper tribute they could
pay to his memory.
“We decided to dedicate
this season to Dave,” said
senior captain Annika
Elvestrom.
After the Skippers de-
feated The Blake School
6-1 in the state Class AA
finals Oct. 27 at the Uni-
versity of Minnesota’s
Baseline Tennis Center,
Elvestrom was asked what
coach Stearns might think
about the championship.
“Dave would probably
be speaking Italian, say-
ing something like Mama
Mia,” Elvestrom said.

A Maple High girls ten-

the scoreboard before leav-

Friday afternoon. “Incred-
ible,” the fan said.
The word incredible fits
perfectly for what Min-

Shahbaz accomplished
that day. She trailed No. 1
seed Zoe Adkins 5-1 in the

do it for Dave. He would
be so proud,’” Karina
Elvestrom, Annika’s
sophomore sister said.
Brent Lundell, who re-
placed Stearns as head
coach, was on board all
the way with winning one
for Dave. He realized from
the beginning the sense of
loss the entire team felt.
“We were favored to
win last year, but there
was no State Tourna-

the Skippers said. “We

ing ahead, wondering how
they would regroup for a
second set, and hopefully,
even a third set.
But that’s not the way
Sarah Shahbaz handles
her business. She quickly
won the next two games
to make the score 5-3, and
then she tied the score 5-5.
Adkins responded with a

but it took an extra year.”
“As the season went
on, we talked about Dave
more and more,” Annika
Elvestrom said. “We are
going to celebrate with
a casual team dinner
tonight. With Dave, he
probably would have cel-
ebrated with desserts.”
The Skippers appreciat-
ed the way Stearns taught
the game of tennis. Many
of them also have private
coaches, who work with
them year -round, but the
experience of coming to
Shahbaz slammed the door
on her by winning the next
two games and the set, 7-6.
The second set was no
contest. Shahbaz ran her
opponent north and south,
then east and west, to win in
a shutout 6-0.
After she received her
gold medal, Shahbaz talk-
ed about her spectacular
comeback win.
“I knew I had to stay in
the moment and take one
point at a time,” the Min-
netonka tri-captain said. “I
love playing against Zoe be-
cause she brings something
different every time. The
entire time we were play-
ing - even when I was down
5-1 - I told myself, ‘This is
winnable.’”
The match could be di-
vided into two segments.
The first part had Adkins
high school practices and
meets were enhanced by
Stearns’ sense of humor,
slogans and passionate
instructions. The girls on
the team gave him a nick-
name that he was quick
to embrace - “Grandpa

“Winning for Dave
feels as good as I thought
it would,” said Karina

er in the sophomore class.

part had Shahbaz winning
11 of 12 games.
“Sarah has the best
hands and shot selection
I have ever seen from a
high school player,” Min-
netonka head coach Brent
Lundell said.
Shahbaz wanted to switch
the focus from herself to the
Minnetonka team that had
won the state title 6-1 over
The Blake School Oct. 27.
“We are all happy about
this week,” she said.
“After coming close to

test in the finals against
The Blake School.
“Blake is probably the
toughest team we have
played this year, and
we knew they would be

said, adding, “I didn’t get
much sleep last night.”

The round of 16 in the

some great matchups Fri-

Among the best of these
matchups will be No. 3 seed
Minnetonka at No. 4 seed

Minnetonka (8-1) has a
better record than Farm-

have great offensive bal-

with a five-set win over

in the semifinals the Skip-

games.
Two big hitters from

Minnetonka High girls
cross country coach Jane
Reimer-Morgan was heart-
broken when she watched
the finish of the Section
2AAA Meet Oct. 26 at Gale
Woods Farm.
Ranked No. 1 in the state
for most of the season, the
Skippers were the odd team
out among the section’s big
three. Edina won the title
with 39 points, while Prior
Lake edged Minntonka 52-
55 for the other state berth
out of the section.
“The national rankings
just came out, and Edina
is ranked 13th,” Eden Prai-
rie head coach Jeff Lindlief
said. “I feel bad for Jane and
the Minnetonka girls. They
are a great team, but our sec-
tion has three of the top four
teams in the state rankings.
There is no question our
section is the toughest in the
state.”
Minnetonka, No. 1 in
the state rankings most
of the season, had a bad
break when the sections
were realigned to bring
Prior Lake into the mix
alongside Edina and the
Skippers.
“We lost our top run-
ner when Maya Mor was
injured in preseason,” Re-
fense with six solo tackles
and two assisted tackles.
Andrew McCalla had five
solos and eight total stops.
Seth Bell and Ashton
Hoffman were in on seven
tackles each and Prentice
Wheatley had six.
“We’ve started looking
at film of Farmington,”
coach Esch said. “They
like to throw the ball, like
we do.”
Minnetonka is for the
most part healthy going
into Friday night’s game,
however, second leading
rusher Bret Worley, who
also plays a role on the de-
fensive side is day-to-day
following an injury.
With 16 teams left in
the Class 6A Tournament,
coach Esch has this opin-
ion: “The field is wide-
open,” he said. “The only
surprise in the first round
was East Ridge win-
ning against Prior Lake.
Lakeville North crushed
White Bear Lake in a
game I thought might be
closer.”

but even without Maya, we
had a great team. A few of
our girls made great prog-
ress. We had beaten Prior
Lake by a lot three weeks
ago, but their young runners
had a great day in the sec-
tion meet. Kudos to them.
We were undefeated until

Hopkins girls make State AA Cross Country Meet

Provenzano,
Gausmann
qualify as well
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Hopkins High’s girls
cross country team had
almost a perfect scenario
in the Section 6AAA Meet
Oct. 27 at Gale Woods
Farm.
The Royals weren’t
expected to finish ahead
of a very deep Wayzata
team, however, they
swept everyone else away
to earn a berth in the
State Meet, which will
begin at 10:30 a.m. Sat-
urday, Nov. 6, at St. Olaf
College in Northfield.
Ninth-graders Sydney
Drevlow and Daphne
Grobstein finished first
and third in the section
meet. Drevlow ran the
5K race in 17:44 and
Grobstein finished in
18:23.
Going into the season,
everyone expected Drev-
low would be one of the
state’s best, then along
came Grobstein.
“Daphne has been a
force from the get-go,”
Hopkins head coach
Mike Harris said. “I have
never seen a runner make
more dramatic improve-
ment in a year. She is
completely motivated.”
In addition to the
great performances from
Drevlow and Grobstein,
senior captain Elsa Berg-
man placed fourth in the
section in 18:47. “Elsa
put is all together,” Har-
ris said. “I couldn’t be
happier for her.”
Although Ali Weimer
of St. Michael-Albert-
ville is the favorite going
into the State Class AAA
Meet Saturday, Harris
has high hopes for Drev-
low as a top contender.
“She’s in contention
for sure,” the coach said.
“We have never had an
individual state cross
country champion, male
or female.”
Drevlow is the best
prospect to win at some
point with the potential
of running in the next
four State Meets.
In the section team
standings, Wayzata won
with 33 points. Hopkins
placed second with 47
and St. Louis Park ran
third with 87. Only the
top two teams from each
section advance to state,
along with individual
qualifiers from the other
schools in the section.
Hopkins Boys
Tony Provenzano and
Samuel Gausmann are
state qualifiers for the
Hopkins boys team after
placing sixth and ninth in
the Section 6AAA Meet.
Provenzano ran the 5K
course at Gale Woods
Farm in 15:56 and Gaus-
mann finished in 16:09.
“Tony broke 16 min-
utes for the first time,”
coach Harris pointed
out. “And he did it on a
true course. Sam put it
all together and had just
a great day. I can’t say
enough about him and
how hard he has worked.
I am just so happy for
him. He has been run-
ning cool, calm and col-
lected.”
Hopkins finished third
in the section boys team
standings with 74 points.
First place went to Way-
zata with 45 points and
second was Minneapo-
lis Southwest with 56
points.
Royal seventh-grader
Logan Drevlow stepped
up big, taking 18th place
in 16:44. The others in
Hopkins’ top five were
sophomore Landon Her-
ing in 16:47 and junior
Ali Suhayb in 17:03.

Junior Nick Gilles, the
two-time Lake Confer-
ence and section indi-
vidual champion, leads
Tonka to state. He ran the
5K course at Gale Woods
Farm last week in 15:33.
Gilles, like every other
runner, had issues with a
strong wind in his face the
last 300 meters of the race.
“It was terrible coming
down the hill at the end,”
he said. “I could feel the
lactic acid.”
What’s it like for Gilles
to lead his team to the
fiers. Beyond that, coach
Lindlief was very proud
of senior Hudson Spears
(fourth for the Eagles and
20th overall in 17:34).
“It was one of the best
races of his career,” the
coach noted.
Rounding out EP’s sec-
tion boys team were Will
Ross, Nate Brant and Jake
Heimkes.
“It helped our chances
for state that cross coun-
try went to three classes
this year,” Lindlief said.
“It helped our chances
of qualifying for the state
meet.”
State Meet? “It’s the first
time in a long time,” he
said. “So everyone is ex-
cited.”
“I talked to Nick be-
fore the race about saving
something for St. Olaf,”
Renlund said. “He had
run 15:16 in the confer-
ence meet at Gale Woods.”
Minnetonka’s No. 2
man, Andrew Vos, ran
16:10 for third place in the
section meet, while Max
Westerlund gave the Skip-
pers fourth place in 16:31.
Brothers Ryan and Sam
Fries rounded out Min-
netonka’s top five, finish-
ing 10th and 14th. Easton

Eagle Girls
Eden Prairie High’s girls
team does not have a state
qualifier this year, but nev-
ertheless had some solid
performances in the sec-
tion meet.
Linnea Berndt led the Ea-
gles with her time of 20:19
for 25th place. Teammate
Mila Finch placed 26th in
20:43. Avery Hackenberg
was third for the Eagles
Thomas placed 20th.
“Andrew is coming on
really strong,” Gilles said.
“He was shooting for sec-
ond place today and fin-
ished third. I am sure he
had a PR [personal record.”
“The last time we went
to state as a team was in
1992,” Renlund noted.
“We were always in Section
6AA, and I am glad we now
have three classes in cross
country. I have a good feel-
ing about Saturday if we
run our race. We went to
St. Olaf earlier this season
and got a good feel for the
course. Nick has as good a
shot as anyone to win the
individual title.”
and 29th overall in 20:49
and Amelia Dewberry ran
20:56. Other members of
EP’s section girls team were
Sarah Williams, Nadia Al-
Masri and Berit Berggren.
“We have had good lead-
ership all year from Linnea
Berndt, Avery Hackenberg
and Haley Parker,” Lindlief
said. “Our girls were sixth
in the team standings.”
Looking ahead to 2022,
both Eagle teams have
good returning runners in
place.
“They know what they
have to do in the off-sea-
son,” Lindlief said.

Elvestrom, the champions’
father and also a Minneton-
ka assistant coach. “The
Century girls played a nearly
flawless first set. We knew it
would be a tough match,
They’re the same two girls
Annika and Sarah [Shahbaz]
beat for the doubles champi-
onship in 2019.”
“This whole week has been
super fun,” Annika Elves-
trom said.
Century tried to target
Karina early in the match,
but as play went on, her
ground strokes got better
and stronger.
“When I miss a shot, An-
nika is good at keeping me
level-headed,” Karina said.
Minnetonka’s second
doubles team of Emilija
Medzuikaite and Maddie
Prondzinski lost to the Elves-
troms in the state semifinals,
then rebounded for a vic-
tory in the third-place match
against Mounds View.
As a seventh-grader, in her
first year on varsity, Annika
Elvestrom talked to Karina
about the future and how
fun it would be to win a state
championship together.
That happened in the team
tournament and again in
individual doubles. What a
remarkable gold rush for the
best sister combination in
Minnetonka tennis history.
