As Minnesota begins its annual
approach toward spring, residents
and visitors in St. Louis Park and
Hopkins have one fewer place to
stroll.
Amid a lawsuit with the builders
of the Minnehaha Preserve board-
walk, the Minnehaha Creek Water-
shed District has closed the site as
the district seeks to reconstruct it.
The district made the move to
close the boardwalk, located along
Minnehaha Creek across Excelsior
Boulevard from Meadowbrook
Golf Course, to ensure public safe-
ty and the longevity of the facility,
according to an announcement last
month.

A reopening date had not been
set, but the district is considering
temporary repairs to allow it to re-
open in the spring.
The boardwalk opened in 2015
as part of the Minnehaha Green-
way along the creek in St. Louis
Park and Hopkins.
“The Minnehaha Preserve proj-
ect has enhanced the area’s climate
resilience by restoring one of the
most degraded sections of Min-
nehaha Creek,” the district’s an-
nouncement says.
The preserve treats area storm-
water from the surrounding 80
acres through a regional storm-
water pipe leading to a basin. The
creek had been straightened dur-
ing the area’s industrial past. The
project created a more natural,

St. Louis Park Police consider using tethered drones

By SETH ROWE
seth.rowe@apgecm.com
Look up in the sky in St. Louis Park in
the future and the object you see may be
a police drone.
The St. Louis Park Police Advisory
Commission is seeking comments from
the public about the potential for drones,
formally known as unmanned aerial sys-
tems.
The St. Louis Park police and fire de-
partments have access to two tethered
drones manufactured by the company
Fotokite, according to a city announce-
ment.
The type of drone would maintain a
tethered link to the ground used for pow-
er and communication and would have
a limited operating area. Such a type of
drone, when owned by a city, is exempt
from requiring Federal Aviation Admin-
istration approvals and certifications.
St. Louis Park Police began consider-
ing a drone program last year along with
other law enforcement agencies in the
state, according to the city announce-
ment. However, the St. Louis Park Police
Department has not deployed a drone
yet, it notes.
Along with using the drones for train-
ing, police could use the thermal imaging
cameras in the devices to search for miss-
ing people outside by looking for their
heat signatures, the announcement says.
“Other potential applications include
assisting with fugitive searches, docu-
menting severe weather damage and
various public displays and community
events,” says the news release.
State law requires the police depart-
ment to allow public input before it can
purchase or use drones. A police advisory
commission meeting occurred March 2
at City Hall.
However, individuals can still com-
ment by email or mail.
Comments by email may be sent to po-
lice@stlouispark.org. Mailed comments
may be sent to St. Louis Park Police

ments (Lt. Garland), 3015 Raleigh Ave.

also in full swing.
In my past life as the

Don’t get me wrong; we
all need upgraded roads
and some sidewalks, but
at the expense of large,
mature trees that are fo-
cal points for streets and
neighborhood? Our city
is great at publishing the
“talk,” such as being a
leader in environmental
stewardship, but I don’t
think the powers that be
always think through the
actions they stimulate and
condone and the “walk”
does not materialize.
Many of us value trees

larger the diameter, the
bigger the tree and more

shade provided, and
many other benefits de-

many inches of healthy
trees are removed each

I don’t think I need to
tell you that there is a
huge decrease in carbon
sequestration and in-
crease in CO2 emitted by
removing large trees. Our
city does not consider
carbon offsets needed to
match the loss of all of
these healthy trees, and
don’t get me started on
the concrete used for new
curbs, sidewalks through
Connect the Park, bridg-
es and the like. Cement
production is the source
of 8% of the world’s car-
bon emissions.
Sure, our city passed
the Climate Action Plan,
but how many of us av-
erage folks relate to the
proposals and projects
currently being imple-
mented for our greater
good? I recycle, don’t
drive lots of miles and
plant lots of native trees
and pollinator plants,
but I still can’t under-
stand the method to the

as sustainable actions
within and by our city.
It appears so haphazard,
expensive, random and
out of touch with most
of us, let alone in compe-

removing large trees but

To the Editor:
I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in
Ukraine in 1993. Ours was the first group
of Teaching English as a Foreign Lan-
guage volunteers in the country. We were
witness to the beginnings of Ukraine as
a free and democratic country. I never
could have believed I would be watching
the atrocities that are happening today.
The Russian invasion of Ukraine
threatens us all. Ensuring the democ-
racy of Ukraine means ensuring the

to say that America fights to defend de-

are often ready with platitudes but no
substance. We also have a short atten-

is allowed to go on, the less interested
the West will be, and it will be viewed
as another war-torn country that is “not
our problem.”

St. Louis Park School Board

appoints 2 new members
By SETH ROWE
seth.rowe@apgecm.com
Following interviews
with finalists, the St. Lou-
is Park School Board ap-
pointed applicants Sarah
Davis and Virginia Man-
cini to join as members
to replace two individuals
who resigned.
The board voted March
2 during a special meet-
ing at Lenox Community
Center in St. Louis Park to
appoint Davis and Manci-
ni. State law requires a 30-
day waiting period before
they can join the board.
The waiting period allows
residents who oppose an
appointment time to stage
a petition effort to undo
an appointment.
The board plans to
swear in Davis and Man-
cini during a meeting
April 12.
Davis is executive direc-
tor of the nonprofit Legal
Rights Center. She is an
attorney, restorative prac-
titioner and community
advocate who works with
youth, according to a bi-
ography from the school
district. Davis and her
wife have two children,
one of whom will begin
kindergarten this fall, ac-
cording to the biography.
They have lived in St.
Louis Park nearly nine
years.
Mancini, a St. Louis
Park resident since 2004,
has worked for more than
two decades as a second-

finalist for Minnesota
Teacher of the Year and
has been awarded the
Education Minnesota
Human Rights Award.
She also won the WEM
Foundation’s Synergy
Leadership Award in
Educational Excellence.
Former Gov. Mark Day-
ton appointed her to the
Board of School Admin-
istrators as a classroom
teacher representative in
2018. She has served in
positions in he state and
national teachers’ unions
and is currently chair of
the St. Louis Park Human
Rights Commission.
The two appointees will
replace Laura McClen-
don and Mary Tomback.
McClendon resigned sud-
denly in January. She has
not provided a reason for
her decision. Tomback
then resigned last month,
despite winning re-elec-
tion last November, due to
the strength of the field of
applicants to fill McClen-
Virginia Mancini
don’s seat, she said.
She wrote in a letter to
Board Chair Anne Casey,
“I was looking forward to
serving on the Board for
the upcoming four years,
and then I saw the pro-
foundly impressive cre-
dentials of the applicants
for the current board va-
cancy. ALL of the final-
ists for the position would
bring significant and rel-
evant experience, fresh
perspectives and undeni-
able passion to this work.
I have been grateful for
the opportunity to use my
voice, and now is the time
to make space for other
important voices.”
From a field of nine
candidates, the board had
narrowed the number of
finalists to five. Along
with Davis and Manci-
ni, Jim Leuthner, Bruce
McLean and Melissa
Vogt won interviews with
the board for the position.
The board conducted the
interviews March 2 before
making the appointment
decisions.

St. Louis Park resolution supports universal health care bills
Council votes unanimously to
support state and federal legislation
By SETH ROWE
seth.rowe@apgecm.com
St. Louis Park continued
its advocacy for progres-
sive legislation by giving
the city’s formal blessing
to the Medicare for All Act
and the Minnesota Health
Plan.
The council voted
unanimously for a resolu-
tion that states the council
“affirms that health care is
a human right” and there-
fore supports the bills.
According to mnhealth-
plan.org, the Minnesota
Health Plan “would be a
single, statewide plan that
would cover all Minneso-
tans for all their medical
needs.”
Approximately 250,000
Minnesotans do not have
health insurance and many
others who have insurance
still cannot afford medical
bills even after paying high
premiums, the advocacy
website for the Minnesota
Health Plan says.
“The MN Health Plan
would eliminate the prob-
lem of un-insurance and
under-insurance,” the
website says. “It would re-
place our costly insurance
system with healthcare for
all. Equally important,
it would reduce the need
for costly medical care
through public health, ed-
ucation, prevention, and
early intervention.”
About 50 legislators
have expressed support
for the plan, but the bill is
likely to face opposition in
the Republican-led Min-
nesota Senate. Instead,
Republicans have focused
this session on extending a
state reinsurance program
that helps lower premiums
for people using private
companies in the indi-
vidual health insurance
market.
Councilmember Marga-
ret Rog raised the council
resolution supporting the
Minnesota Health Plan at
the state level and Medi-
care for All nationally.
The rates of uninsured
individuals in the two zip
codes that include St. Lou-
is Park are much higher for
people of color than for
white residents, Rog said.
According to the reso-
lution, the State Health
Data Assistance Center
showed that in 2021, fewer
than 2% of white residents
of the 55416 and 55426 zip
codes had been uninsured
while 4.6% of American
Indian residents, 6.65% of
Black or African Ameri-
can residents, nearly 8% of
Asian residents and more
than 15% of Hispanic or
Latinx residents were un-
insured.
The Minnesota Health
Plan would increase ac-
cess to mental health ser-
vices for everyone in the
state, helping address the
increasing complexity and
number of mental health
challenges to which pub-
lic safety personnel in St.
Louis Park have respond-
ed, Rog said.
The resolution address-
es the mental health issue
and says “many St. Louis
Park residents with health
care coverage still cannot
afford the care they need
due to co-payments, de-
ductibles, and care not
covered by insurance.”
The document also says
that “health insurance
costs are a financial bar-
rier to the growth and ex-
pansion of St. Louis Park
businesses, which employ
and serve residents and
contribute to the vitality
of our city.”
St. Louis Park will pay
more than $2.8 million
this year for health insur-
ance for its employees,
the resolution notes. It
says that “the Minnesota
Health Plan and Medicare
for All Act would reduce
costs, expand coverage,
and guarantee health care
for all residents of St. Lou-
is Park.”
Rog said, “The Minne-
sota Health Plan will re-
duce health care costs for
cities, which means more
funds will be available for
other programs and proj-
ects and/or lower tax lev-
ies.”
Resident Hilary Beste,
who identifies as a DFL
activist, called in to sup-
port the resolution. She
said she and her husband
had long lacked health in-
surance since employers
did not offer it, or they had
to spend $11,000 a year for
it on the health insurance
market.
“Now I have Medicare,”
she said. “I feel like I have
been so fortunate. But I

Christopher Charles Polson
Christopher Charles Polson
of Excelsior passed away on
February 13, 2022, having lived
a self-described wonderful life.
Originally from Kansas
City, Missouri, he was born on
March 18, 1947 to parents John
Cleveland Polson, Jr. and Ruby
Jane Polson (née Adams).
A Graduate Brother of Phi
Gamma Delta (Fiji) University
of Missouri chapter, he subse-
quently commissioned as an active-duty Officer in
the United States Marine Corps. He served honor-
ably for four years as an infantry leader, deploying
as Weapons Platoon Commander with 3rd Battalion,
9th Marines before serving as Series Commander
at Marine Corps Recruit Depot-San Diego where
he ran seven consecutive series with 2nd Recruit
Training Battalion. Upon concluding his duty to
Corps and country, Chris entered civilian life as a
recruiter for Ross Perot’s company, Electronic Data
Systems (EDS), where he earned a reputation for con-
sistently outstanding performance. He then founded
his own search firm, Polson & Company, continuing
a successful decades-long career in executive search.
Following retirement, he drove a school bus for the
Minnetonka School District and was adored by his
riders. He never missed a day of work.
Chris was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed
hiking, fishing, and visiting the mountain West. He
had a love of all nature, with a particular fondness
for our feathered friends. Nicknamed “Pols” by his
buddies, Chris was a loyal friend to many, and even
the smallest acts of kindness bestowed on him were
never forgotten. His unmatched and relentless sense
of humor will be dearly missed. A man of integrity,
pride, character, and passion, he never compromised
his values. He was a fervent patriot and blessed to live
and stand for freedom and opportunity in America.
He authored “Chris Polson’s 6 Principles” and was
the unwavering embodiment of them:
1. Tell the truth
2. Keep your promises
3. Treat others as you would be treated
4. Take pride in who you are and what you do
5. Pull your own weight
6. Don’t quit just because the going gets tough
Chris is eternally loved and remembered by
daughters Stephanie L. Buckley and Jane M. Polson,
son Zachary C. Polson, son-in-law Jeffrey Buckley,
daughter-in-law Ozge Polson (née Sayginer), brothers
Timothy J. Polson and Steven R. Polson, and grand-
children Grant Buckley, Clara Buckley, and Max
Polson.
Those wishing to contribute in honor of Chris may
donate to the Tunnels to Towers charity.
A celebration of Chris’ life will be held with close
friends and family at 1:00 PM on Saturday, May 21st
at Bull and Wren Pub in Excelsior.

came and picked me up and we had lunch
and we went over a whole bunch of top-
ics. And he said, ‘oh by the way, we have a
sister city and we were there in the spring
and they’re coming in September so I
might need your help with a whole bunch
of people coming from Ukraine,’” he said.
The relationship between Hopkins and
Boryspil has continued on ways that are
more than just symbolic. Students from
Ukraine came to Hopkins two years later,
staff provided tours of the city and there
was also a visit into the metro area to meet
with other city managers, Mornson shared.
James Warden, a Hopkins resident, sent
an email urging the city to do something
in support of Ukraine. Other Hopkins
residents and Minnetonka residents also
reached out to the council asking what
they could do to help prior to the Russian
invasion, Mornson said.
“With everything going on in the world
right now, I think it’s important that we
Hanlon said.
Previous Hopkins Mayor Jason Gadd
spoke at the meeting, talking about his ex-
perience meeting with Boryspil residents
and getting to know them.
“It really helped inspire me to, ‘how can
we make this partnership even stronger?’”
he said.
Irina Fursman also spoke, thanking the
council for keeping up the relationship be-
tween Ukraine and Hopkins. Her family
has played a key role in maintaining the
partnership between Boryspil and Hop-
kins.
“The moral support here is tremendous
as we’ve been sitting here watching, taking
pictures. There’s a lot of likes and hearts
sending your way. Thank you, it’s impor-
tant. Awareness is important,” she said.
Irina Fursman also shared a personal
story from a Ukrainian student who was
15-years-old when he visited Hopkins ten
years ago.
“When I ask him how he’s doing, he said
‘I cried that I am home. They’re reinforcing
my house and supporting my family. Too
afraid to go and fight myself. Cried because
I listened to the audio from Snake Island
on the southern part of Ukraine. Thir-
teen Ukranian border guards have been
defending the island for over ten hours. ...
They were all killed and I am so proud of
the bravery of our guys and so (upset) at
myself,’” she said, adding that not everyone
is fighting, but that there is a lot of sadness
and survival.
Richard Fursman shared a story about
a former Boryspil official, who dropped his
wife and son off at the border and was go-
ing back to the city to collect his weapons
and join the fight.
“I asked him, ‘how ya feeling? How you
doing?’ and he thought a moment and he
said, ‘I’m just mad. You can’t understand
why this is going on’ and to cheer me up,
because he saw I was a little distressed. ...
He said, ‘you know what? We’re going to
win. There’s no doubt about it. We are go-
ing to prevail and you can tell your group
back in Hopkins that come out, because
we’re going to have the biggest celebra-
tion you’ve ever had and no one’s getting
away with not drinking,’” he said, which
drew several laughs from the audience and
council.
Hanlon spoke with Maxwell over the
weekend and asked him if there was any-
thing he’d like to say to the Hopkins com-
munity.
“He just said, ‘good people should sup-
port good people’ and he said, ‘the peo-
ple of Hopkins are good people and the
people of Boryspil are good people and we
should do whatever we can to help out our
sister city, that’s what sister cities are for,’”
Hanlon said.
He also read a statement from the Bo-
ryspil Mayor Volodymyr Borysenko,
which mentioned how they felt united and
supported.
Councilmember Alan Beck said the sto-
ry about the former Boryspil official reso-
nated with him and said, “All of Ukraine
is fighting and that doesn’t mean that you
have to pick up arms and fight. You can
fight and protect those who can’t, you can
fight and protect and get food for those
who can’t, you can be a messenger. There
are many many different ways that one can
fight without picking up arms,” he said.
He requested they tell that former Bo-
ryspil official that they knew Ukraine is
fighting in the best ways they all can.

The city received 15 messages support-
ing the city resolution.
While Rog acknowledged she initially
did not think the city should take a stand
on the issue, she said residents in support
of a resolution persisted in their advocacy.
“Once I saw the opportunity to ad-
dress racial disparities, mental health
care access and improve the budget
situation in our city, I couldn’t unsee
the relevance of the Minnesota Health
Plan to the things we care about deeply
in this community,” Rog said.
She also observed, “We’ve made it
clear that we as a council believe local
government does have a role to play in
elevating issues that matter to our resi-
dents to the state and national level.”
Councilmember Larry Kraft pointed
to levels of health care spending in the
United States that he said research in-
dicates are higher than in western Eu-
ropean countries with universal health
care.
“Yet we have worse outcomes,” Kraft
said.
Mayor Jake Spano chimed in, “It’s so
time-consuming and laborious to navi-
gate the system that we currently have.”
He said requiring a person to have a
job or money to support their health is
morally wrong.
Spano said, “I’m going to be support-
ing this for a simple reason, which is I
do not believe that your life should be
tied to your pocketbook.”

Gov. Tim Walz has appointed John
Pacheco, Jr. as the Metropolitan Council
member for District 6, which includes part
of Minneapolis along with Crystal, Gold-
en Valley, New Hope and St. Louis Park.
Pacheco, of Minneapolis, is the presi-
dent of the Latino Chamber of Commerce
of Minnesota, which he helped found, and
a principal with Pacheco & Associates. He
has worked with nonprofits to develop
workforce initiatives designed to help close
employment and training gaps for commu-

ties. He has also served as a director for
the U.S. Bank Foundation and the Xcel
Energy Foundation, as well as a manager
for Northern States Power Company.
Pacheco has been a Met Council mem-
ber in the past, serving 1990 to 1992 during
the administration of former Gov. Rudy
Perpich.
Pacheco will fill the term vacated when
former Council Member Lynnea Atlas-
Ingebretson who resigned in late 2021. The
term continues through Jan. 2, 2023.
Pancheco had been one of three finalists
for the position. The Metropolitan Coun-
cil Nominating Committee had forwarded
the names to Tim Walz and Lt. Gov. Peggy
Flanagan for consideration.
Along with Pacheco, the committee had
named as finalists Anne Mavity, a former
St. Louis Park City Council member who
is executive director of the Minnesota
Housing Partnership, and Aiysha Musta-
pha, who has served as an education as-
sistant at Sonnesyn Elementary School in

‘Tuck Everlasting’ premieres at Hopkins Center for the Arts

By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
“Tuck Everlasting: The Musical, TYA”
is the next Stages Theatre Company per-
formance to premiere at Hopkins Center
for the Arts on March 4.
This is the regional premiere of the
70-minute Theatre for Young Audiences
version of Natalie Babbitt’s classic novel.
The musical will run thru March 20 and is
directed by artistic director Sandy Boren-
Barrett.
The musical follows the story of
11-year-old Winnie Foster who lives a
sheltered life with her family in Tree Gap,
N.H., but yearns for adventure, according
to the press release. When she unexpected-
ly crosses paths with the Tuck family, she
discovers more than she could have imag-
ined. After learning the secret behind the
Tuck family’s immortality, Winnie must
protect the secret from those who would
do anything for eternal life. In the end, she
must choose between her own ordinary
life or infinite adventure.
Years ago, Boren-Barrett saw the full
production herself. She said Stages The-
atre Company’s plays are almost always
based on literature and Tuck Everlasting
was a great book.
“I really fell in love with the music. I’m
not going to lie. That was what really ap-
pealed to me, ultimately, was how beauti-
ful the score is and they use the music in
such a storytelling way it becomes actu-
ally a character in the show,” she said.
While directing the show, it was impor-
tant for her incorporate really strong visu-
als with the cast on the stage. Unlike some
of the other theater company’s shows,
Tuck Everlasting has a cast with a wide
age range.
“To have all of those actors on stage,
who come from different perspectives in
life, different generations, I think pro-
vided a rich conversation in the room but
also a richness to the storytelling,” Boren-
Barrett said.
For her, the story of Tuck Everlasting is
a complicated one about making choices
in life and what those choices mean as one
goes through life.
“Every choice you make has an impact
on someone else in a lot of ways and what
you see with Winnie is that she has to make
the ultimate choice,” Boren-Barrett said.
Faith Barrett, Boren-Barrett’s daughter
and the 16-year-old actor who plays Win-
nie Foster, describes Foster as rebellious
but with good intentions.
“Based on her situation, she wants to
see the world because she’s been stuck and
I think we can all relate to that. We’ve been
stuck inside. You just want to get out,” she
said, adding that Foster is adventurous
and relatable through her sarcasm.
Another highlight is the friendship
between Foster and Jesse Tuck, played
by Aidan Einhorn, which follows them
through the entire show.
“This show really explores the relation-
ship between family and friends, and ev-
eryone does such a good job portraying
that,” Barrett said.
An interesting element for this show is
that each of the character understudies
gets to perform one show. Boren-Barrett
said that being an understudy is a lot of
work, especially when a performance isn’t
guaranteed.
“For this show, it felt really important
to let them at least perform it once and let
their families and friends see them do that
one time,” she said.
Tickets for Tuck Everlasting can be
purchased at www.stagestheatre.org or
by calling the box office at 952-979-1111,
option 4, Tuesday through Saturday from
noon to 6:00 pm. Stages Theatre Com-
pany is asking patrons to provide proof
of a COVID-19 vaccination or a nega-
tive COVID-19 test completed within
72 hours of the performance and photo
ID. All attendees must wear masks at all

COMMUNITY BRIEF

Student from St. Louis
Park creates documentary
Ohio Wesleyan University student Anna
duSaire, a senior from St. Louis Park, has
received a university-funded Diversity, Eq-
uity, and Inclusion Grant to create a docu-
mentary that explores the sense of belong-
ing felt by the university’s students of color.
“I wanted to create something that gives
BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Col-
or) students the opportunity to share what
it’s been like for them to attend OWU with-
out being interrupted or questioned,” said
duSaire in a statement. “I decided to focus
on the idea of ‘belonging’ specifically, be-
cause I think everyone wants to feel like
they belong in the spaces they operate and
exist in.”
DuSaire plans to debut the 10-minute
film in April and to survey the audience
before and after they view it.
“I hope people reflect on the stories and
experiences they hear in the film and think
about how they are similar and different
from their own experience at or perception
of OWU,” said duSaire, a member and
previous vice president of the university’s
Black Student Union. “I also hope folks
think critically about ‘belonging’ – what
it means, what it looks and feels like, how
a ‘sense of belonging’ is achieved, what it
means to have a ‘sense of belonging’ in a
space. I want to get people to absorb, re-
flect, and think.”
Dawn Chisebe, the university’s chief
diversity officer, is mentoring duSaire on
the process of planning and producing the
oral-history documentary while Elaine
Chun, multimedia technology services
manager, is helping her learn to use film-
making equipment. In addition to earning
a grant, duSaire also has been awarded a
Wesleyan Council on Student Affairs Ini-
tiatives Grant to support her project.
After she graduates in May, duSaire
plans to follow a path that “will allow me
to continue to challenge myself and those
around me, while furthering my under-
standing of sociology.”

Hopkins School Board postpones mask mandate discussion

By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
The Hopkins School
Board unanimously ap-
proved moving the mask
mandate vote to the
March 15 School Board
meeting.
Assistant Superinten-
dent Nik Lightfoot origi-
nally introduced the topic
at the meeting after discus-
sion during the workshop.
The policy change was to
replace “masks required”
to “masks strongly recom-
mended and strongly en-
couraged,” and would tie
requiring masks to com-
munity levels as defined
by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention,
as specified by Chair Jen
Westmoreland-Bouchard.
During the meeting,
Treasurer Steve Adams
asked when this item was
added to the agenda. A
previous version of the
agenda that he had down-
loaded did not include
discussing the mask man-
date and he said that he
told people it would not
be discussed.
Westmoreland-Boucha-
rd said it had been on
the meeting agenda since
the day before, after hav-
ing been moved from the
workshop agenda.
Adams said that in the
future, if the agenda was
going to be changed on
short notice that the board
should be notified. Vice
Chair Shannon Andreson
recommended pushing
the discussion to the next
meeting.
Superintendent Rhoda
Mhiripiri-Reed noted that
the discussion was moved
to the meeting agenda in
order to be transparent
with the community. Be-
cause the CDC had up-
dated their guidelines, she
said they didn’t want the
discussion to be a work-
shop only discussion.
“It was an appropriate
topic for the workshop to-
day, but I think to add it to
the agenda on short notice
is doing a disservice to our
public,” Adams said. public comments were in

nearly $850,000 to build
– has required periodic
repairs due to deteriorat-
ing wood decking and
railings, the watershed
district statement says.
“Expert analysis sug-
gests that the premature
deterioration is likely the
result of improper design
specifications and inad-
equate materials used
during construction,” the
statement asserts.
The watershed district
in January released a re-
quest for proposals to re-
design the boardwalk.
The watershed district
has also sued the design
firm, HR Green, and
Blackstone Contractors.
Neither company re-
sponded to Sun Sailor re-
quests for comment about
the litigation.
Helen Schnoes, a well-designed and well-
spokesperson for the wa-
tershed district, said the
district pursued media-
tion with the two compa-
nies in August 2021.
“Unfortunately, these
talks did not lead to an
agreement,” Schnoes said.
The district then filed a
lawsuit against the com-
panies last fall.
“We believe litigation
is the most responsible
option to ensure the pub-
not meet standards speci-
fied in a contract.
The district’s filing
states that the flooding in
2014 “should have raised a
warning” about the wood
and the “appropriate pre-
servative treatment” used
for it. The district has
had to replace boardwalk
decking and railing due
to damaged and deterio-
rating materials “at a rate
beyond that which is to be
expected and warranted,”
the lawsuit says. The dis-
trict has faced substantial
costs relating to staff time
and for ongoing mainte-
nance and replacement,
the filing adds.
The watershed dis-
trict “expects deteriorat-
ing to continue, and to
accelerate, much more
quickly than would a
constructed Boardwalk,”
the filing says.
It adds, “Because of
this, and because of the
public setting, the (Min-
nehaha Creek Watershed
District) expects to re-
place all the Boardwalk
lumber for public health,
safety, and welfare con-
cerns soon, and well be-
fore the expected end of
useful life.”
The case pegged the
ages of more than $2.8
million to compensate the
district for costs to ad-
dress deterioration as well
as attorneys’ fees and any
other damages the district
can prove or that the court
“may deem just and equi-
table.”
Major reconstruction
work on the boardwalk is
slated to begin this summer
after the watershed district
selects a designer.
The watershed district
has closed the boardwalk
in the past, with a seasonal
closure occurring in late
2020.
“This closure was ap-
proved to protect against
safety risk posed by ice $200 OFF
and snow accumulating on

users,” explains a district re-
port released in early 2022.
A year ago, the district’s
board hired the company
Stantec to inspect and
maintain the boardwalk,
allowing the boardwalk to
reopen until this winter.
District staff raised con-
cern about issues about
ice and snow again when CUSTOM

The district’s lawsuit
says that “two 100-year

than $2.8 million.
The lawsuit accuses

Edina blank Red Knights 4-0 for Section 6AA title
By JASON OLSON
jason.olson@apgecm.com
Make it 29 state boys
hockey appearances for
Edina High School after
a 4-0 shutout of Benilde-
St. Margaret’s in the Sec-
tion 6AA final played
March 2 at Bloomington
Ice Garden.
Edina’s defense frus-
trated the Red Knights,
who had trouble find-
ing passing lanes in the
middle of the ice, despite
organizing its offense to
set up scoring chances but
couldn’t convert.
Caden Morgan and
Jackson Nevers scored
less than four minutes
apart late in the opening
period to set the tone for
the rest of the game.
“Coming in, we view
ourselves as a defensive
team so to be able to get
on the board early was
huge momentum for us,”
Morgan said as BSM’s
Adam Marshall hit the
crossbar 15 seconds be-
fore the first goal.
BSM won the posses-
sion game but the scor-
ing chances were quickly
denied by the Hornets
who averaged less than
two goals per game (1.79)
while goalie Robbie Clar-
kowski posted his eighth
shutout of the season with
the season on the line.
No. 1 Hopkins vs. No. 2 Wayzata in girls finals
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Prior to the start of the
Section 6AAAA Girls
Basketball Tournament,
fans were already talking
about Hopkins playing
Wayzata in the finals.
That moment comes
this week with a 7 p.m.
tip-off Thursday, March
10, at Hopkins Lindbergh
Center.
No. 1 seed Hopkins is
the favorite, but the No.
2 seed, Wayzata, is very
capable, as well. One of
Hopkins’ wins over Way-
zata in Lake Conference
play was a blowout and
the other was a 10-point
game.
Mara Braun, Wayzata’s
top scorer and a Uni-
versity of Minnesota re-
cruit, missed the blowout

“We were a team fight-
ing for an identity,” Red
Knights coach Ken Pauly
said.
Morgan, a junior de-
fenseman, redirected a
rebound as BSM goal-
tender Mason McElroy’s
leg pad stopped his initial
shot for the opening goal
of the game coming 10:26
into the contest. Morgan
ringed the post a minute
earlier but quickly turned
his luck around to grab
the early lead. “I was
bummed I hit the post
and the second one was
pure luck, I didn’t even
see it go in,” he said. “My
first shot went into the
shin pad, right back to
me, and just threw it back
in.”
A turnover near the
BSM blue line ended with
Nevers burring the puck
from just outside the goal
crease to take a 2-0 lead
into the first intermission.
Morgan found Riley
Spindler on the rush who
fed Nevers on what would
be an insurmountable
lead to help avenge a 5-2
loss to the Red Knights
back on Jan. 8.
“[BSM] is really good,
that’s what we took away
[from the first meeting],”
Hornets coach Curt Giles
said. “They’re really fast,
move really well. We
knew we would have to
game with an injury, but
returned to lead the Tro-
jans in the 10-point loss to
Hopkins.
Asked about the chal-
lenge of strategizing
against Braun, Hopkins
head coach Tara Starks
said, “Mara just shoots
the ball so well. You can’t
give her room to get her
shot off. She is a dynamic
scorer and they have mul-
tiple solid kids around
her.”
Wayzata head coach
Julie Stewart will look for
ways to get Braun open
for the shot, of course.
She will watch film on
Hopkins every day this
week in preparation for
the game. “You can al-
ways review and pick up
a few things you might do
differently,” she said. “We
know Hopkins will, and
play a heck of a game to
get it done.”
“They beat us pretty
handily in the regular
season so we had to pay a
lot of respect to them so
I think we came out here
looking for revenge and it
worked,” Morgan said.
Edina’s Eddie Revenig
ended up in the back of
the goal after a Tristan
Sarsland cross-check just
over nine minutes into the
second period. At first,
the play looked scary as
the back of Revenig’s
head slammed into the
middle of the crossbar,
dislodging the goal from
the posts and finally
coming to rest against
the boards with Revenig
inside.
The Hornets capital-
ized on a 2-on-1 rush as
Matt VanderVort slotted
a crossing pass from John
Halverson and Willy
Johnson to make it 3-0 at
12:34 of the period.
“Down three-nothing
against a team as good de-
fensively as Edina, that’s
a deep hole. This team
hasn’t given up goals to
anybody, and to think we
could score three times
was going to be tough but
we broke it down into five
increments,” Pauly said.
“To the kids’ credit they
kept battling, kept hit-
ting pipes, playing hard
they know us well. When
you play a talented team
like Hopkins, you have to
decide what you will try to
take away. You can’t con-
trol everything.”
Hopkins is a team with-
out a weakness, which ex-
plains why the Royals are
25-1 and ranked in the top
five in the national polls.
Coach Starks realizes
that Wayzata is a very
good team, not just the
Braun show.
“The main thing we
write on the board ev-
ery day is play together,”
Starks said. “We want to
keep the ball moving and
make the right reads.”
Defensively, Hopkins
always tries to apply pres-
sure through full-court
pressure and half-court
traps. With the Royals’
length, they are able to get

Hopkins boys set for section basketball test

By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
There was no suspense
for Section 6AAAA boys
basketball seeding this
year. Wayzata was the
clear No. 1 with a 22-4 re-
cord and Hopkins was the
clear No. 2 at 17-9.
It would take a major
upset to prevent either
Wayzata or Hopkins from
advancing to the section
title game, but upsets
have been known to hap-
pen over the years with St.
Louis Park, Cooper and
Armstrong usually field-
ing competitive squads.
Minneapolis South is an-
other dangerous team in
this year’s field.
Wayzata was sched-
uled to open against No.
8 Minneapolis Washburn
(14-10) March 8. Hopkins
was scheduled to play No.
7 St. Louis Park the same
night.
While coach Schnettler
and coach Kenny Novak
Jr. of Hopkins are taking
the approach of one game
at a time, it’s hard not to
anticipate their teams
squaring off in the section
title game.
Looking toward a
potential meeting with
Hopkins in the section fi-
nals, Wayzata has had the
best of the Royals in two
meetings this year, 64-61
in overtime at Hopkins
and 73-62 at Wayzata.
The Royals are very dan-
gerous and, of course,
they are led by Hall-of-
Fame coach Novak. The
two scoring leaders for
Hopkins are 6-7 senior
forward Elvis Nnaji and
6-5 junior forward CJ
O’Hara.
In the regular-season
finale March 4, the Roy-
als earned a tie for second
place with Eden Prairie in
the final Lake standings.
Both teams finished 8-4
with only Wayzata out
front of them at 11-1.
Hopkins’ final game
was a 66-61 victory over
Edina at Edina Commu-
nity Center.
Brady Helgren, Edina’s
6-9 senior forward, was
honored before the game
for 1,000 career points,
and he would have 20
more against the Royals.
Helgren was not the
high scorer in the game,
however. O’Hara scored
22 points for Hopkins.
Nnaji added 15 points and

guard Jayden Moore had
12 points. Senior guard (SUN PHOTO BY JOHN SHERMAN)

Armstrong 78-45, limit-

ing the Falcons’ all-con-
ference center Savannah
McGowan to 10 points.
The Royals had four
double-figure scores with
these totals - Woodson 20,
Agara 17, Amaya Battle 16
and Nnaji 14. Kelly Boyle,
the super sixth girl, scored
nine points.
Coach Starks talked
about Woodson’s back-
to-back 20-point playoff
games last week: “Taylor
has spent a lot of time on
her mid-range jump shot.
She is physically tough and
can finish through traffic.
Every game she has 2-3
offensive rebound baskets
and she gets buckets in
transition.”
Wayzata eliminated St.
Louis Park 79-59 with
four double-figure scorers
- Braun 19, Fornshell 16,
Krzewinski 14 and Sen-
den 12. Sophie Hawkinson
added seven points and
Siri Prosser scored six.
In its playoff opener
Hopkins defeated Minne-
apolis South 79-12. Three
players scored for the Ti-
gers. Hopkins’ leaders were
Woodson with 21 points,
Liv McGill with 10 and
Battle with nine. Off the
bench, Dilon Tubbs scored
six points and Macaya Co-
peland netted eight. Nnaji
and Tatum Woodson
scored five apiece.
High school league, New Prague
statements about bad behavior
By JASON OLSON
jason.olson@apgecm.com
To update our Feb. 3 story
about St. Louis Park High
School’s reaction to the alleged
racist incident at a boys’ hockey
game at New Prague.
The Minnesota State High
School League released a memo
on Feb. 24 directed to “members
of the education community and
other interested parties” signed
by 10 different Minnesota-based
education associations includ-
ing MSHSL Executive Director
Erich Martens and Minnesota
School Boards Association Ex-
ecutive Director Kirk Schnei-
dawind.
In addition, the New Prague
School Board addressed ongo-
ing issues during the Feb. 28
schoolboard meeting.
The memo, released by the
MSHSL acknowledges the work
that remains to do with regard
to racism while “unequivocally
condemn[-ing]” mistreatment
of anyone on any basis. “Racial,
religious or sexual harassemtn
is simply unacceptable in our

of paramount importance. It
is essential that every effort be
made, and action taken to ensure
that all students have a safe en-
vironment in which to learn and
participate in activities. In addi-
tion, victims of racist words or
actions need support. Together,
we commit to making every ef-
fort to ensure that students have
a safe environment in which to
learn and participate.”
In an attempt to improve be-
havior, the educational organiza-
tions listed in the memo plan to
launch an innitiative to address
behavior not only at high school
events but schools in general.
Three points of the plan in-
clude: 1. Forming a model code
of conduct for all schools. 2.
Convene a student conference
through the MSHSL, MASSP
and MNIAA to raise awareness
about student conduct and assist
in the development of tools for all
schools. 3. Indentify and provide
resources to schools and admin-
istrators in planning, preparing
and implementing best practices
to address and eliminate these
harmfull behaviors and support
of students and others who have
been impacted.
Bylaw 209 of the MSHSL
Rules already prohibit racial,
sexual or regligious harassment
and violation of the policy re-
quires the loss of student eligibil-
ity in extracurricular activities.
The memo concludes that the
organizations listed plan to keep
schools and interested parties
informed of progress in these ef-
forts. “Together we will make a
difference,” it concludes.
During the New Prague school
board meet, Superintendent Tim
Dittberner acknowledged racist
incidents have increased in re-
cent years and as a result, plans
are in the works to address rac-
ism.
“I apologize on behalf of the
school community for what has
happened and while we take all
reports of bullying and harass-
ment seriously, and follow up
by investigating them and tak-
ing appropriate action accord-
ing to district policy and state
law, we still need to be proactive
and educate to prevent further
incidents,” Dittberner said in
response to at least two recent
events involving a girls’ basket-
ball game against Robbinsdale
Cooper and boys’ hockey game
against St. Louis Park.
St. Louis Park High School
Activities Director Andy Ewald
addressed the well-publicized
incident across social media by
removing spring sports season
contests against their Metro
West Conference counterparts
in addition to removing the New
Prague banner from the Orioles
gym alongside the rest of the
Metro West Conference schools.
Cooper joined Park in removing
New Prague from the schedule,
until further notice.
“Hate, disrespect and intimi-
dation have no place within our
schools. Every student should
feel welcome,” Dittberner said.
“We can’t sit still and complain,
and we can’t make excuses. We
simply must do better.”
To address the three points
raised by the MSHSL memo,
Dittberner said the district will
create a school district climate
taskforce composed of students,
staff, parents and members of
the larger community. They
plan to indentify resources and
development for staff to plan
and impliment best practices to
address and eliminate harmful
behaviors. The final point is to
work with administration and
student leeaders to raise aware-
ness of issues like appropriate
conduct, bullying, race and gen-
der, among others.
Dittberner plans to collabo-
rate with the St. Louis Park
school district “when the time
is right” at the appropriate time.

Chakolis will play football Girls basketball teams turn
for New Mexico State their attention to upcoming
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
When former University of Minne-
sota football coach Jerry Kill became
the head coach at New Mexico State, he
harkened back to his days in Minnesota
to look for talent.
He discovered that former Hopkins
High linebacker RJ Chakolis was avail-
able after playing a year of prep-school
football at Sir Thomas More School in
Oakdale, Conn. and got Chakolis’ sig-
nature on a national letter of intent.
“I was looking for the right spot,” said
Chakolis, who was home on holiday to
visit his parents, Happy and Desma, in
Minnesota last week. “It is a great op-
portunity to play for coach Jerry Kill.”
Chakolis, a four-time All-West Dis-
trict linebacker in his time at Hopkins,
isn’t sure what position he will play in
collegiate football. But he hopes it will
be somewhere on the defensive side of
the ball.
“I will play wherever they need me,”
he said.
In the 2021 Minnesota High School
All-Star game, Chakolis played defen-
sive back, but almost all of his other
experience in football has been at in-
side linebacker. He graduated from
high school at 5-10 and 220 pounds,
and said he could still make weight as
a 220-pound wrestler.
As successful as he was as a high
school football player, Chakolis
achieved his greatest prep glory on the
wrestling mat. He was the state Class
AAA 195-pound champion as a junior.
In his senior year, he lost to the eventual
state 220-pound state champion, Jake
Meissner from Osseo, before taking
home the bronze medal. His record as
a junior was 38-4 and his record as a se-
nior was 26-3. Chakolis set the all-time
school record for wins with 183. He was
a six-time letterman in wrestling and a
State wrestling competition
Benilde-St. Margaret’s Jon Gettel (37-2) wrestles Aitkin’s Carson Kullhem during their 152-pound,
Class AA first-round match at the state meet March 4. Kullhem won by pin, 3:43.
St. Louis Park / Hopkins
five-time letterman in football.
Chakolis said he wouldn’t rule out
trying to wrestle for New Mexico State.
He found a good balance between the
two sports in high school and wonders
if it could work as well in college.
Playing football at Sit Thomas More
last fall, Chakolis was a defensive
standout. “I had the opportunity to
play against some very talented kids -
a quarterback who signed with Florida
State and a running back who is going
to Penn State,” he said.
Chakolis was one of the leading tack-
lers for Sir Thomas More, which had
mostly players from the east coast.
“Prep school has gone really well for
me,” he said. “I made a lot of friends,
which was really cool. For someone
from Minnesota, it is a different envi-
ronment.”
Coach Kill first contacted Chakolis
when he was working as an assistant
at Texas Christian University. From
his days as the Gophers head coach,
Kill has appreciated the dedication and
toughness and work ethic of Minnesota
high school players.
Chakolis will join Kill in a homecom-
ing of sorts when New Mexico State
plays the Gophers in a non-conference
game Sept. 1 at Huntington Bank Sta-
dium.
If Chakolis plays a great game that
day, Gopher head coach PJ Fleck may
wonder if he missed out by not recruit-
ing one of the elite football players in
Hopkins history.
One man who projects collegiate
success for Chakolis is his high school
coach John DenHartog, who said, “RJ
is the smartest football player I have
been associated with in 30 years.”
Former Hopkins High wrestling
coach Derrick Agate said, “I am happy
to have been part of RJ’s success. “It
was an honor to coach him.”

12-rebound performance by Grace Mas-
saquoi. Holy Angels only made 3-of-17
3-pointers but was 23-of-32 from the
free-throw line.

from Selam Maher and 14 points from
Kiya Hegdahl.

against the Hawks after a 58-44 win one
week earlier on Feb. 23 and a 52-44 win
at Cooper on Jan. 20.

ule with a 75-72 loss at Chanhassen on
Feb. 25.
Chan’s Lauren Arnold and Callin
Hake scored 23 and 21 points, respective-
ly, while Maddie Hicks added 16 points.
Park countered with a game-high 28
points from Harden, 22 points from Ma-
her and 12 points from Hegdahl.
Harden also added 11 points for a
double-double to go with three assists,
four steals and one block.
Park made 15-of-21 free throws and
made 10 3-pointers.

Red Knights secure 2nd seed in section basketball

By JASON OLSON
jason.olson@apgecm.com
Benilde-St. Margaret’s
and St. Louis Park head
into section play this week
after wrapping up the
Metro West Conference
and regular season on
March 4, splitting the two
games.
Benilde-St. Margaret’s
won 6-of-9 games since
Feb. 4, including a 67-
45 win at New Prague
March 4 behind 11 points
each from Ryan Warren
and Jalen Wilson. Sam
Best and Daniel Ijadim-
bola contributed 8 points
each as the visiting Red
Knights broke out with a
42-22 opening half.
Senior night at the Ha-
ben Center came on March
1, with BSM hosting Rob-
binsdale Cooper. The Red
Knights won 71-67 thanks
to a 30-24 halftime lead.
Warren led the team with
18 points, followed by 14
points from Wilson and 10
points each from Best and
Ijadimbola.
The Red Knights came
into the season off a
fourth-place Metro West
finish in the abbreviated
2020-21 season, dramati-
cally improving to 13-5 to
place runner-up to Jeffer-
son (14-4), while winning
17 regular-season games.
Park closed out the reg-
ular season with a 69-61
loss at Metro West Con-
ference champion Bloom-
ington Jefferson.
The Jaguars led 39-31
at the half and each team
scored 30 points in the
second half. Will Dvorak
led Park with 19 points,
followed by 12 points
from Blake Anderson and
11 points from Antonio
Speed. Dvorak was close
to 20 points for the third
consecutive game after
posting 17 points in a 70-
67 loss to Chaska March
1 and 19 points in a 79-74
win over Edina Feb. 26.
The win over Edina
stopped a five-game los-
ing streak for Park, which
came up short against
Chan, Cooper and Waco-
nia by three, five and five
points, respectively.
The win over Edina fea-
tured a spread-out attack
with four scorers hitting
at least 14 points. Dvorak
finished with 19 points,
Stefano Giovanelli had 18
points and Brady Walsh
and Evan Donesky each
had 14 points.
Chaska’s Brady Nich-
olson scored 33 points in
the March 1 game, while
