Six-story building gains St. Louis Park Council approvals

Members express
disapproval of past Bigos
Management actions
By SETH ROWE
seth.rowe@apgecm.com
Past controversies involving apartment
buildings owned by Bigos Management
lingered even as the St. Louis Park City
Council voted in favor of several approv-
als for a new six-story apartment building.
ESG Architecture & Design has pro-
posed the apartment project at 9808 and
9920 Wayzata Blvd., northwest of Inter-
state 394 and Highway 169 on behalf of
Bigos Management.
Plans for the building, which would
contain 233 apartments on the site of
the long-demolished Santorini restau-
rant, gained St. Louis Park City Council
approvals last month, but members ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with the company’s
prior actions.

Meadowbrook Manor complex – now
Era on Excelsior – through rent increases,
lease terminations and nonrenewals. The
company also controlled the decision to
terminate a Section 8 contract at Lou
Park Apartments in St. Louis Park, she
said.
“To my mind, this doesn’t represent the
attitude toward low-income residents that
I’d like to see among developers coming

holiday season
We didn’t see it coming.
The COVID-19 world-
wide pandemic swooped
into our lives suddenly in
March 2020, interrupting
or ending every aspect of
normalcy. More than 17
months later many are still
struggling with the causal-
ity loss, the two greatest
being personal with the
death of a loved one and
economic with reduction
in work hours or the end
of a job.
The hardest hit individ-
uals have been the ones
with the least. The pan-
demic made low-income
families poorer.
According to Oppor-
tunity Insights’ economic
tracker, the employment
rate for high-wage workers
almost entirely recovered
to its pre-pandemic level
by March 2021, while only
16% of low-wage workers
experienced the same.
The economic short-
ages experienced by low-
income families during the
months of the pandemic
have been subsidized with
huge increases in govern-
ment aid. This helped
many families put food on
the table and keep a roof
over their heads. Howev-
er, the three government
programs that helped the
most — stimulus checks,
increased food stamps and
expanded unemployment
insurance — have ended
or will soon revert to their
pre-pandemic size.
Millions of low-income
families may, again, strug-
gle to make ends meet.
It is a tragedy any time
children go hungry or are
homeless but even more so
when this occurs during
the holidays.
As government subsi-
dies ebb and end, families
in need will again turn to
rely heavily on charities for
help. Thankfully, there are
signs that when this hap-
pens the help will be there.
Total charitable giving
in the United States in 2020
grew by 5.1% over 2019 to
a record $471 billion, ac-

which is the longest-run-
ning report on sources and
uses of charitable giving in
America. This includes an
increase of almost 16% in
public-society benefit and
an almost 10% increase in
human services, which are
the dollars that support
food shelves and emer-
gency shelters.
Among the lessons we
have learned during the
pandemic is that the only
thing that is certain is
uncertainty. But we can’t
leave assistance to needy
families to chance.
Now is the time to turn
the helplessness we have
felt during the past 17
months of the pandemic
into positive action that
can make a difference in
many peoples’ lives. Giv-
ing generously to our
many nonprofit organiza-
tions and holiday charity
drives is a way we all can
help.
In Minnesota, we have
an excellent — and fun —
way to contribute to chari-
ties aiding needy families.
The Nov. 18 Give to the
Max Day is a 24-hour on-

Give to the Max Day has
raised nearly $225 million
since its inception in 2009.
GiveMN is more than
the one-day giving event.
Potential donors can give
to nonprofits, charities
and schools year-round on
the organization’s website.
During the first 10 years
of GiveMN, more than
700,000 donors gave near-
ly $300 million to 13,000
nonprofits and schools
through the website.

— Insist on periodic surveys of students,
families, educators and community mem-
bers. What do they think is going well?
What do they think needs to be top prior-
ity for improvements? Of course everyone
won’t agree. But well-designed and carried
out surveys can be immensely valuable for
helping board members establish priori-
ties.
— Insist on periodic outside financial
reviews. State law requires this. But make
sure your school and/or district has audi-
tors doing this who are willing to iden-
tify problems — and have the experience.
Some schools and districts have learned,
to their dismay, that thousands of dol-

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hopkins residential
streets lacked many
flags on Veterans Day
To the editor:
I live in Hopkins and after putting up
my flags I decided to take a ride around
town and see if the neighbors remem-
bered Veterans Day.
— Stay alert for continuing “change
orders” in facilities. St. Paul Board mem-
bers approved facilities changes that were
more than $170 million over their original
budget. They did not realize the program
was so far over budget until the St. Paul
Pioneer Press wrote about it.
— Hold periodic public meetings on
key issues, and invite experts, students and
families to share information. It’s critical
that school boards have access to a variety
of information. The administration should
not be able to filter information that school
board members receive. This is not to be a
blanket condemnation of administrators.
But wise school board members will not
only be open to, but encourage others to
share their insights and knowledge.
— Finally, remember that you are first
and foremost a representative of the peo-
ple who elected you, rather than a rep-
resentative of the district. Many school
board members are pressured to defend
the district. Sometimes that’s appropriate
when, for example, inaccurate information
is being distributed by community mem-
bers. But wise board members remember
that they have been elected to represent
community members — NOT district ad-
ministrators.
Successful school boards follow these
seven suggestions. Thanks again for run-
ning. I hope these recommendations are
useful.
After driving 12 blocks, I counted two
flags flying and one of those was mine.
Doesn’t speak well of all those enjoy- coming through GiveMN is entirely due
ing the day off. When 9-11 occurred, the
stores couldn’t meet the demand for flags.
Now I wonder how many of those profit
mongers carry flags! I thank the city of
Hopkins for setting out the flags up and
down the Main Street.

By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
Bruce and Luke Rowan, grandfather
and grandson, will appear together in
Stages Theatre Company’s latest pro-
duction “Elf the Musical, Jr.”
The show runs from Nov. 19 to Dec.
27 at the Hopkins Center for the Arts,
with Bruce Rowan starring as Santa
Claus and Luke Rowan debuting as
an elf and part of the ensemble. Bruce
Rowan also played Santa Claus in the
company’s 2019 production of “Elf the
Musical, Jr.”
“It’s something I’ve looked forward
to for a long time. When they asked me
to do ‘Elf,’ I said sure and then when
I found out the rest of the cast, I got
pretty excited.” Bruce Rowan said while
laughing.
He worked full-time for STC for 23
years, officially retiring in 2015 but has
since returned to the stage in more than
a dozen roles. His love of every aspect
of performing has encouraged him to
continue to come back to the company,

he said. He can’t remember ever saying
no to a role.
Growing up, he said he was inspired
to perform by both his father and older
brother, who were also actors.
“I started college as a math major
and I got into a show fall quarter of
my freshmen year,” Bruce Rowan said.
“And that was the end of the math.”
Like his grandfather, eighth-grader
Luke Rowan is interested in pursuing
theatre.
“It’s just fun. All the sets and the the-
atre is all great,” he said. “And perform-
ing is just another great thing about
theatre.”
Luke Rowan received the news of his
casting while in class and had to try to
contain his excitement.
“Just to be in a show like this is awe-
some and such a great opportunity,” he
said.

New faces to appear on Hopkins City Council after vote

Meet Mayor-elect Patrick
Hanlon and new city
council members Gerard
Balan and Heidi Garrido
By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
A new wave of people are coming into
the Hopkins City Council next year, and
that includes Mayor-elect Patrick Han-
lon and City Council Members Gerard
Balan and Heidi Garrido.
Hanlon received 58.7% of the vote,
achieving a win over incumbent Jason
Gadd, who had 19% of the votes, ac-
cording to unofficial results from the
Secretary of State. Another candidate,
Sam Stiele, received 21.8% of the vote.
Balan and Garrido also won over
incumbent Kristi Halverson. Balan re-
ceived 32.56% of the vote and Garrido
received 26.5% of the vote, while Halv-
erson received 19.56% of the vote and
20.74% of the vote went to another can-
didate, Ben Goodlund.
The Sun Sailor spoke with each incom-
ing member to ask why they believe they
won, what they were hearing from com-
munity members on the campaign trail
and what they are looking to accomplish
on the council.
Patrick Hanlon
“In a local election like this, you just
don’t know until Election Day how
things are going to turn out. There’s no
polling that can be done. It was great to
win,” he said.
As for why he won, Hanlon thinks
there are different reasons for different
people.
“I think the campaign that I ran was
forward-leaning and positive about the
future of Hopkins, in terms of how do we
bring more people from in our communi-
ty into the fold with better outreach into
our communities,” he said as one reason.
According to Hanlon, smarter devel-
opment as developmental changes come
to the city and admitting that Hopkins
has a tax and debt issue that needs to be
addressed.
“Those issues came from people I was
talking to and my role is to represent
those issues in the mayor’s office and in
council at the city,” he said.
Hanlon and Balan are also apart of
the Hopkins Coalition, a group of Hop-
kins residents that have determined that
engagement in city issues is necessary to
hold the city accountable and have com-
mitted to active and regular oversight in
different areas of Hopkins city govern-
ment.
“That group really started as a way to
ask probing questions of government,”
he said. “Their issues are focused on fi-
nancial health and so I think the experi-
ence that folks in the Hopkins Coalition
had in getting feedback from the city, I
think other folks focusing on different
issues, whether it’s public safety or road
projects or other issues that people have
in Hopkins, I think we’re facing some of
the similar concerns.”
As mayor, Hanlon hopes to sit down
with the city manager, his team and the
Hopkins City Council to get Hopkins
financial situation under control, set
standards for developments coming to
Hopkins to ensure they’re right for the
city, and figure out how to have a more
robust community engagement process.
“As this change comes to Hopkins, not
only making plans for development but
also having our eyes wide open in terms
of our public-safety needs, both fire and
police services, ensuring that we have an
adequate amount of services that meet
the needs of a growing city,” he said.
Gerard Balan
“It felt wonderful. It felt very hum-
bling in many ways. I just think the
biggest feeling for me was incredibly
grateful. I realized how much of a tre-
mendous responsability this is,” he said
about his win.
Balan ran on three main points: af-
fordability, equitability and destina-
tion.
For him, those arose from what he
was hearing in the community. He said
Hopkins residents were looking for
a greater variety of housing options,
property tax relief, increased outreach
to minority populations from the city,
and greater promotion of Hopkins as
a destination to support small busi-
nesses.
“Some people are also concerned with
making sure that we don’t lose our small
town, hometown feel as they say,” Ba-
lan said. “For example, I heard a lot of
people were upset with the movie the-
ater leaving and they’re concerned with
what’s going to replace that. Where Hop-
kins goes from here in the future.”
As a founding member of the Hop-
kins Coalition, he said he feels that high
property tax concerns and concerns over
the city’s debt resonated with voters.
“I hope to help lead Hopkins to a
future and on the council, I would like
to ensure that Hopkins is a city that
remains affordable for everybody, from
all different income levels,” Balan said.
Heidi Garrido
“I had a really good feeling about the
way we were campaigning and reaching
residents and the amount of work we
put into it, we felt like we really had it,”
she said. “But I also know I came from
a pool of incredibly qualified candidates,
so I knew that with the other candidates’
backgrounds and the work they put in, it

St. Louis Park Emergency Program adapts to shifting needs

Housing assistance
requests have
dramatically increased
By SETH ROWE
seth.rowe@apgecm.com
Often known for its food shelf, the St.
Louis Park Emergency Program has seen
an exponential increase in requests for
housing support as a result of the pan-
demic.
Grants for housing assistance in-
creased from about $49,000 in grants for
46 families the year before the pandemic
to about $768,000 for 251 families last
year.
“One out of every 100 St. Louis Park
families was assisted in this way,” ac-
cording to a STEP report, which notes
that federal stimulus funds along with
partnerships with the city and county
primarily funded the grants.
The report credited federal stimulus
funds with temporarily strengthening
the social safety net.
“A combination of these supports
temporarily raised some families out
of functional poverty and families that
had adequate financial support did not
utilize the food shelf,” the report says.
“Additional families were able to avoid
needing rental assistance due to these
other supports.”
The housing support has often in-
cluded multiple months’ worth of rent
funds so that families could know that
their housing was secure and could focus
on more immediate concerns, STEP Ex-
ecutive Director Derek Reise told the St.
Louis Park City Council earlier this fall.
However, the STEP report notes that
the benefits that families received as a re-
sult of the pandemic are temporary.
“STEP is planning that the need for
STEP food assistance will begin to in-
crease again in the approaching months
and years,” the report says.
Some pandemic support has already
ended, and STEP leaders do not know
when other programs will end, Reise
said.
“We have to anticipate and plan for the
future as the food need will increase,” he
said.
STEP’s plans to expand its facility to a
building adjacent to its existing home at
6812 W. Lake St. will allow the nonprofit
to nimbly respond to needs as they arise,
Reise said.
“Part of our facility expansion is to ex-
pand our food program and what it looks
like so it really is like a small grocery store
for residents in need of food,” Reise said.
“We need to have that in place so we have
a food program that can adapt with the
fluctuations, based on what’s going on in
the larger world.”
In recent years, STEP has increased its
refrigeration capacity by 50%, allowing
the food shelf to provide more fresh of-
ferings. Local retail stores have provided
vegetables, fruit, dairy, deli and bakery
items five days a week.
“We are able to provide the full range
of types of food that you would find in a
grocery store,” Reise said.
STEP has experienced some rising
costs relating to food, but Reise said in a
Nov. 11 email that “the impact has been
very modest.”
He added, “Thanks to the communi-
ty’s continued generosity we are in a very
good place for providing the full range
of healthy and fresh foods to families
in need. Where STEP continues to have
need is increased staffing and equipment
costs in order to maintain and improve
our programs. We also have a growing
need for skilled, long-term volunteers
during the work week.”
STEP also has experienced an uptick
in residents accessing the food program
recently.
“I would attribute that to the expira-
tion of supports for those who are under
or unemployed and the eviction mora-
torium having the impact of families
needing to spend their limited funds on
housing instead of food and other basic
needs,” Reise said. “STEP also typically
experiences a much bigger need in the
winter months. This November already
looks to be on track to be our food shelf’s
biggest month in two years.”
The nonprofit is responding with ex-
tra deliveries to families who are unable
to pick up the food themselves and ad-
ditional holiday food items this month
and next month. Anyone can pick up
perishable items like vegetables and fruit
beyond the organization’s food service
without an appointment 1-3 p.m. Tues-
days and 10:30-11:30 a.m. Thursdays.
The biggest gaps, Reise told the coun-
cil earlier this fall, don’t relate to food
but involve families who can’t afford rent
increases. While federal funds exist for
pandemic-related needs, STEP may not
be able to provide support for more than
one or two months in other situations.
In cases of tenants unable to afford
rent increases when a lease expires, Reise
said, “We just don’t have the ability to
help them financially. We do not have
the ability to find them alternative hous-
ing that they can afford because it really
doesn’t exist in this community.”
In general, Reise said demand for the
St. Louis Park Emergency Program’s
services has declined in part because the
city’s poverty rate has decreased amid
increasing home values.
“We know anecdotally, at least, at
STEP there’s many, many residents that
we’ve been serving for years and years
who have called St. Louis Park home,
want to continue to call St. Louis Park
home, but they no longer can afford to
live here and they have to leave the com-
munity,” Reise said.
The poverty rate in St. Louis Park fell
from 8.4% in 2014 to 6.5% in 2019, be-
fore the pandemic, while the number of
residents STEP served annually fell from
about 3,800 in 2014 to fewer than 3,300
in 2019.
At the same time, median rent in-
creased about 27% in the city.
A STEP report says that the reason for
the declining poverty rate in the city be-
fore the pandemic is difficult to precisely
attribute, but “STEP’s judgement is that
it is due to a combination between an
improving economy raising income for
some families to above the poverty level,
and other low-income families leaving
St. Louis Park due to high housing costs
or other economic-related disruptions.”

was anyone’s game.”
For Garrido, she attributes her win to
the work her and her team put into cam-
paigning.
“We ran a campaign that at the end of
it, we didn’t want to say we could have
done more,” she said.
According to Garrido, a lot of residents
were looking for a change and that could
mean anything from a younger council,
a more engaged council, a more diverse
council to a more progressive council.
“There were a lot of things that people
said that they would be really happy with
if I won,” Garrido said.
She said she hopes to ensure Hopkins
maintains its accessibility as a city and
incoming developments are being exam-
ined with a racial equity lens.
“I think Hopkins is certainly a place
for all backgrounds and for all incomes
and so when a developer comes here, I
want it to be more standard that they’re
aware of how diverse Hopkins is and
wants to maintain that,” Garrido said.
Election endorsements
This year during elections, Hopkins
council members Alan Beck and Rick
Brausen both endorsed Stiele for mayor,
one of incumbent Gadd’s opponents.
Traditionally in past years, sitting council
members have not made endorsements.
In a statement, Beck said that the elec-
tion was the year of the endorsement and
the resolution, with many candidates re-
ceiving them from people or groups out-
side of Hopkins.
“I have known Sam Stiele for a number
of years and saw his leadership style first
hand while he was president of the Hop-
kins Rotary Club. Sam was, and still is, a
quality candidate for mayor and because
of that I wrote a letter of endorsement on
his behalf,” Beck said.
His interactions with Gadd over the
last year and a half led him to believe the
city could use a mayor with a different
style of leadership and vision, he said.
“I look forward to getting to know the
mayor-elect and working with him to find
solutions that help our city,” Stiele said.
Brausen chose not to comment.

Excitement was in the
air at the Hopkins High
auditorium Nov. 10 as
nine Royal athletes signed
letters of intent to continue
their careers in the college
ranks.
It was a big day for the
state runner-up Hopkins
High girls basketball pro-

four senior forward Maya
Nnaji has accepted a
scholarship offer from the
University of Minnesota,
while six-foot guard Ama-

Lindsay Whalen next fall.
A third Hopkins senior
basketball player, guard
Alayna Contreras, has
opted to play for Cochise
College in Southern Ari-

Nnaji, a fourth-year
starter, helped the Royals
win the state Class 4A title
as a sophomore in 2019.

Look for BSM girls to be tested on the ice this season

Reigning Metro West champs eye a state trip for the first time since 2014 with new co-coaches
By JASON OLSON
jason.olson@apgecm.com
Benilde-St. Margaret’s didn’t ease into
the girls hockey season, electing to face
reigning Class AA state runner-up Ando-
ver on the Huskies home rink Nov. 11.
New co-head coaches are Kevin Gray
and Kelly Pannek for the Red Knights,
with Gray holding down the coaching du-
ties while Pannek focuses on her national
team duties leading up to the Beijing
Olympics in February.
Pannek served as an assistant coach for
her alma matter the last two seasons after
one season helping coach Bloomington
Jefferson. This year she is competing for
a spot on the Olympic team through the
residency program at the National Sports
Center in Blaine.
Senior captains include defenseman
Emma Peschel (Ohio State commit is also
a member of the Team USA U18s), center
Emma Hoen (Lindenwood commit), and
wing Sophia Melsness (Merrimack com-
mit) as they look for a fourth trip to state,
the last coming in 2014 with Pannek as a
key contributor.
The Red Knights went 12-4-3 last season
including a 5-0-0 run to the Metro West
Conference title and were runner-up to
Edina in Section 6AA.
There is a blend of age and experience
levels on the roster, which will be tested
with what appears to be one of the tough-
est schedules in the state.
Look for three freshmen to make an
impact with the varsity program, includ-
ing defensemen LuLu Rucinski and Bailey
Gray, along with freshman forward Ken-
dal Hassler and sophomore forward Lizzy
Hamel.
Season opener
The Red Knights (1-0) trailed 2-0 after
a pair of late goals in the first period but
senior Mary Zavoral (St. Thomas commit)
put the visitors on the board just 37 sec-
onds into the second period.
Andover’s Ella Boerger collected her
second goal of the game less than five min-
utes into the third period to take a 3-1 lead.
Annie Juckniess and Melsness were giv-
en roughing minors while Andover’s Nora
Sauer took a roughing double minor in
the same exchange midway through the
second period.
Lily Mortenson and Hoen set up Pe-
schel’s goal coming at 16:25 to make it a
one-goal game in the final minute of regu-
lation.
Red Knights senior goaltender Allie Van
Stelten made 25 saves while her Andover
counterpart stopped 29-of-31 shots in the
3-2 victory for Andover.
BSM will welcome Warroad for the Nov.
19 home opener at 7:15 p.m. at the St. Lou-
is Park Rec Center before hosting Wayzata
on Nov. 23 with the same start time.
The Red Knights plan to take part in the
Eden Prairie tournament Dec. 28-30 at the
Eden Prairie Community Center.

crowds at Eden Prairie, Chanhassen,
Shakopee and Waconia sports events.
When he was introduced last summer
at the State Class B Amateur Baseball
Tournament in Chaska, Jonckowski re-
ceived a standing ovation from a crowd
of more than 1,500 on a rainy Friday
night. He stood in the rain and talked
with every fan who approached him. One
dad said, “I just wanted my sons to be
able to meet you.”
“Whenever I announce on radio or
do public address, I try to entertain to
a degree,” Jonckowski said. “In this pro-
fession, I think it’s important to meet as
many people as you can. It love interact-
ing with sports fans and hearing their sto-
ries. I am a public relations guy at heart.”
When the State American Legion
Baseball Tournament was looking for a
banquet speaker back in the 1990s, the
late state director George Karnas told
the host committee, “There’s one man for
the job, Dick Jonckowski.” Then Karnas
passed out Jonckowski’s trading cards,
which included his phone number on the
reverse.

Benedict also won the 100 fly in 57.73.
Junior Claire Prindiville won the 500

116 ahead of the Orioles in fifth place.
Park had entrants qualify for the finals
in eight events including all three relay
events.
Individually, the Orioles were led by
eighth-grader Lydia Cameron, who was
fourth in two events, including the 200-
yard freestyle in 2 minutes, 1.21 seconds
(1:55.06 was the state-qualifying stan-
dard). She was fourth in the 500 free in
5:26.90 (5:10.01 state standard).
She anchored the Orioles 200-and
400-free relays, which placed sixth and
fourth, respectively. Park’s 400-free relay
team of junior Fiona Long, sophomore
Stephanie Stone, senior Tenzin Dedhen
and Cameron finished in 3:52.99 (3:39.68
state standard).
Jonckowski, who is nicknamed the Pol-
ish Eagle, has had only two setbacks dur-
ing his career. One was his first bout with
cancer in June of 2014. The other was his
second bout with cancer the week before
Thanksgiving in 2020. He missed out on
chances to work because he needed time
to recover. After he beat cancer for the
second time, the COVID-19 pandemic
brought normalcy to an abrupt halt in
Minnesota, so speaking engagements
were few and far between as many of
the events Jonckowski normally worked
were canceled.
He would tell his jokes from behind a
COVID face mask when he got together
with friends. They laughed, of course,
but the Eagle couldn’t read their facial
expressions, and that bothered him.
“The first time I was diagnosed with
cancer, it was stage 4 non-hodgkin’s
lymphoma. I needed eight chemos to
dissolve it,” he said. “The second time, I
needed six chemos. I didn’t have any af-
ter effects from the treatments. I feel fine
now and have most of my energy back,
but there is always that chance it [cancer]
could come back. I thank God that I am
cancer-free for the second time.”
Now that he is recovered from his sec-
ond cancer ordeal, the Eagle would like
to get back to his normal work schedule
Park High School is hosting a sports
equipment and school supply drive.
Donations will be accepted in the main
office of the school, 6425 W. 33rd St. in

The Red Knights won the 200 free in
1:40.60 with team of Long, Kelly, Prindi-
ville and Benedict ahead of Blake’s run-
ner-up team of 1:40.90.
BSM also posted the top time in the
400 free relay in 3:37.99 with the team of
Long, Prindiville, Benedict and Holinka.
Senior Sydney Holinka was second in
the 100 back in a state-qualifying time of
59.05 (1:00.54 state standard) and White
was fifth in 1:04.00.
White and classmate Audrey Ander-
son placed eighth and seventh, respec-
tively in the 100 breaststroke in 1:14.68
St. Louis Park’s 200-free relay of
Dedhen, sophomore Mae Turman,
freshman Mae Guttenfelder and ju-
nior Stella Rostal finished in 2:02.44
(1:40.00 state standard).
Rostal was fifth in the 200 Individual
Medley in 2:21.79, less than three sec-
onds behind Armstong’s Lucia Freed’s
time of 2:18.90. Rostal was eighth in
the 100 breaststroke in 1:16.65 (1:07.12
state standard).
Dedhen was sixth in the 100 back
in 1:05.43 (58.60 state standard) and
ninth in the 200 IM in 2:23.98 while
Guttenfelder was 16th in 1:10.66.
Stone was ninth in the 100 fly in
1:04.92 and 14th in the 200 free in

Jonckowski has a gift of making peo-
ple laugh, even if they have heard the
jokes before.
During the Northwest Umpires’ 100th
anniversary banquet in September, he
needled the umps with this story: “A cell
phone was turned in at the press box and
the screen said, ‘Three missed calls,’” the
Eagle said. “So I made the announce-
ment over the PA - would the umpire
who lost his cell phone please see me in
the press box after the game.”
Jonckowski is happily married to his
wife Arlene, who is an avid bowler. But
he realizes not all couples are as simpa-
tico.
One of his banquet jokes shines a spot-
light on marital tensions.
“A woman is in court with her hus-
band, accused of stealing a can of peach-
es from a grocery story,” Jonckowski be-
gins. “The woman is found guilty and the
judge sentences her to four days in jail
- one day for every peach she took.
“Upon passing sentence the judge asks
if anyone else has anything to say on this
matter. The husband stands up and says,
‘I think the court should be aware that
she also took a can of peas.’”

Jonckowski might have two million
jokes and writes much of his own ma-
terial. The Polish Eagle, a New Prague
High School graduate, who went on to
study broadcasting at Brown Institute,
is 78 years old and is aware that Young-
man’s humorous approach to life carried
him to the ripe old age of 93.
In addition to flourishing in the pub-
lic eye, Jonckowski might be the biggest
sports fan most people have ever met. He
collects sports jerseys, baseballs, football
helmets, pennants, other things like that.
Wearing a George Mikan No. 99 jer-
sey last week, he talked about his favorite
athletes of all time.
“I treasure the autographs of Gordie
Howe and Stan Musial,” he said. “Meet-
ing Andre The Giant was one of my big-
gest thrills. I loved watching the old Phil-
lies outfielder, Richie Ashburn. From the
Gopher basketball team, Lou Hudson,
Archie Clark and Bill Davis are some of
my favorites. And from pro basketball,
George Mikan.
Just then, Jonckowski noticed that his
