Southwest Light Rail

progresses, but 2023
completion date is
now out of reach
By KRISTEN MILLER
kristen.miller@apgecm.com
A group of community
members set out Oct. 8 to
tour the Southwest Light
Rail construction site on
Excelsior Boulevard in
Hopkins, where three of
the 16 stations are being
constructed.
The tour was led by James
Mockovciak, Metro Tran-
sit community outreach
coordinator, as part of the
final round of tours for this
construction season.
Mockovciak gave some
background on the project
and an update on the prog-
ress of the project which
will serve Minneapolis, St.
Louis Park, Hopkins, Min-
netonka, Eden Prairie and
Edina.
“We are about 50%
through of our civil con-
struction and once civil
construction is completed
... then we will hand it over
to the systems contractor
who will work on the elec-
trification of the project,
and also the coordination
of the project with the cur-
rent Green Line,” he said.
According to Mockov-
ciak, the southwest corridor
is one of the fastest-grow-
ing corridors in the state,
with 80,900 jobs along the
Green Line extension and
about 55,800 people are
forecasted to live within a
half-mile of the LRT.
“So it creates a lot of new

show on PBS celebrates culture
By SETH ROWE
seth.rowe@apgecm.com
Before St. Louis Park
resident Ian Grant began
working as the host of a
travel show with PBS affili-
ates, he had never attended
a festival in Mongolia with
hunting eagles, visited with
a former rebel fighter in
East Timor or communed
with an aboriginal hip hop
artist in northern Australia.
Working with camera-
man Ian Levasseur, a
cinematographer with nu-
merous TV titles including
“Bizarre Foods with An-
drew Zimmern,” Grant’s
experiences in such remote
areas are now on display
to the public as his show
“Culture Quest” rolls out
on PBS stations. Locally,
the show is airing on TPT
Life now through Nov. 15.
Grant spends most of
his days creating furniture
with natural edges that he
sells online through the St.
Louis Park-based business
Bjorling & Grant. How-
ever, “Culture Quest” is
not his first foray into the
world of world travel.
In the past, he operated
a storefront at West 50th
Street and Bryant Avenue
South in Minneapolis in
which he sold cultural arti-
facts he found while travel-
ing abroad. A visitor to the
store featured the shop in
“Better Homes and Gar-
dens.” Later, during Grant’s
audition to host a land-
scaping show, the writer’s
husband suggested a travel-
focused show instead. The
idea led to a show called
“The Relic Hunter with
Ian Grant” in 2009 on the
Travel Channel. While the
show suffered from a late-
night time slot and a lack of
promotion from the chan-
nel, Grant ended up win-
ning an Emmy for his work.
“It was a strange course
of events but gave me a little
credit when I approached
PBS six years ago to talk
about doing this show,” he
said of “Culture Quest.”
While the Travel Chan-
nel show had been fun, he
called it “cotton candyish.”
In contrast, he said PBS
gave him the autonomy
and freedom to create a
show that would be both
fun and compelling, help-
ing provide insight into in-
depth subjects.
“It was the opposite end
of commercial television,

which I think can be a great
thing,” Grant said.
Grant also sought to
provide creative freedom
to Levasseur as the two
traveled without any other
crew to film episodes.
“I said, ‘Ian, I make fur-
niture for a living, so you
shoot this however you
want,’” Grant said.
The result includes
sweeping overhead shots
from drones and close-up
action from a small cam-
era as Grant tries his hand
at spearfishing and other
feats.
With the lack of lights
and multiple cameras,
Grant sought to provide a
casual atmosphere, often
simply talking to people
while walking through
neighborhoods.
“The people we’re talk-
ing to aren’t worried about
what they’re looking like
on camera,” Grant said.
“We’re having this nice,
natural conversation
about life and their role in
it, which I think hopefully
– certainly in my opinion
– makes for genuine and
compelling conversation.”
While Grant gained
the support of a present-
ing station for “Culture
Quest” through Oregon
Public Broadcasting,
the show gained a major
boost when Grant’s alma
mater, Gustavus Adol-
phus College in St. Peter,
signed on as the initial
sponsor. As a result of
the partnership, Grant in-
corporated interactive les-
sons with college students
in political science, Asian
art history and general art
history classes.
“I loved it because I al-
ways wanted to be a pro-
fessor, but this allowed me
to get all the laud and ac-
clamation a professor gets
without having to put all
the work in with that an-
noying Ph.D.,” joked
Grant, who grew up as
the son of two academi-
cians who emigrated from
Ireland and Scotland to
Duluth and whose fam-
ily stayed for extended
periods in his youth in the
United Kingdom, Ireland
and Germany.
His travel shoots took
place in late 2019 and
early 2020, with a return
to the United States a few
days before long lines and
chaos at airports occurred
as the pandemic settled in.
Before each travel shoot,
Grant discussed his plans
with Gustavus Adolphus
students and how they ap-
plied to the classes. During
his first shoot for the show
in western Mongolia, he
created a blog page with
commentary and upload-
ed images of a ceremony
in which hunters, dressed
in furs and riding horses,
sent eagles forth to hunt.
After viewing the posts,
students in Minnesota
would then ask questions.
Grant followed up by set-
ting up Zoom interviews
so that students could in-
teract with a nomad and
later an artist in Kyoto, Ja-
pan, and the hip hop artist
in Australia.
“What we’re showing
is that art and art history
isn’t this dead inanimate
object that they’re looking
at,” Grant said. “We’re ac-
tually meeting with people
who made this thing or
took part in that ceremony,
and those people have the
very same aspirations that
people in St. Peter or St.
Louis Park have.”
Cultural differences
aside, Grant said his trav-
els have demonstrated that
people in all areas of the
world want to put food on
the table, to help their kids
and to communicate.
“Even in places that have
these fantastic, crazy stuff
to us, things that look so
foreign and unusual and
strange to us, those people
all have the same essence
and goals that we’re chas-
ing after,” Grant said. “I
like that commonality of
humanity.”

Nature provides
both glories
and shortcomings
I can tell it’s fall by the
way nature is calling to me
in a variety of ways, some
good, some maybe not so
good. Having recently re-
tired from the city of St.
Louis Park, I’ve had more
time than ever in my life
to watch and contemplate
nature in all its glory (and
some shortcomings).
I am lucky to live in St.
Louis Park directly across
from Westwood Hills Na-
ture Center and have made
it a first destination walk-
ing experience on my “re-
tired” routine, witnessing
nature at its best. In my
walks lately, I’ve been privy
to a unique experience I’ve
never had – catching the
hummingbird migration
south, feeding and flut-
tering on the jewelweed;
I’ve never seen so many
hummingbirds in one area
before – an amazing expe-
rience.
I have been spending
many hours on my back-
yard deck ingesting nature,
with surprises aplenty. Our
yard has been a feeding and
pecking ground for a pair
of pileated woodpeckers
who are not shy and very
vivid in their actions. These
birds are large, displaying a
large red plume headdress
which practically glows on
sunny days (which we’ve
had plenty of this sea-
son). These two are always
found in tandem, continu-
ally visiting our two large
silver maples in our back-
yard, searching for elusive
carpenter ants (their main
source of food); they have
done this all summer and
now into fall.
We’ve also installed
two bird baths, one in our
front yard and one in our
backyard, that were end-
lessly used during this dry
summer and continue into
this fall. The number and
variety of birds bathing
and splashing in them is a
pleasure to witness.
A not-so-good aspect of
nature I’m currently seeing
this fall is the increasing
number of brown marmo-
rated stink bugs trying to
get inside my house. These
creatures are an invasive

insect from Asia that are
serious pests of fruit, veg-
etable and other crops. For
us homeowners, they can
get inside your home in
great numbers. We’ve had
a handful in our home over
the past two falls and win-
ters but have never seen the
numbers currently inhabit-
ing the screens and house
siding as they attempt to
get inside as the days cool.
This stinkbug produces
a very strong odor when
smashed, so be careful
when extracting them from
your home. If you are not
familiar with these insects,
you will be very soon.
Another annoyance of
nature for me this fall is
the constant pecking on
our house from downy
woodpeckers. I under-
stand these birds are either
attracting mates, defining
territory, searching for in-
sects or perhaps attempt-
ing to create a nest under
my eaves; these birds are
pests this time of year, dai-
ly attacking our house with
cedar shake siding and de-
stroying vents in the eaves,
creating potential nesting
cavities. I’ve had to replace
the cavities and vents by
gluing sheet metal over
these holes. Not to men-
tion the staccato of holes
created along all four sides
of our home. We’ve tried,
over the years, a variety of
deterrence measures to no
avail.
Lastly, the yellowjackets
have been out of control
this fall. Remember, yel-
lowjackets are not bees
but wasps. They do serve
a purpose as pollinators
but more so as predators
of grubs and other insect

prospective tenants to
learn about the record and
reputation of the landlord
they’re negotiating with.
By making it easier to
research landlords, there
will be more public pres-
sure to provide better
service and timely repairs
to their tenants – a long
overdue shift in the rental
power dynamic.
In addition, Saul’s plat-
form also includes strong
environmental and so-
cial justice commitments,
an increase in municipal
minimum wage and sup-
port for the continua-
tion of the Connect the
Park program to provide
better connections for
non-motorized transpor-
tation. And while each
candidate has committed
themselves as a champion
to affordable housing,
Saul is the only candidate
to acknowledge that rent-
ing will be a major part of
achieving that goal.
Saul Eugene is a future-
looking candidate that
Ward 3 needs, and I’m ex-
cited to vote for him.
Matt Eckholm
St. Louis Park
Leuthner has
a passion for
St. Louis Park
To the Editor:
This might be the only
endorsement with its
roots in the Southdale
Weight Watchers studio.
That’s where I met St.
Louis Park City Council
candidate Jim Leuthner
and his wife, Ellen. When
Jim learned I lived in St.
Louis Park, he shared his
passion for the Park.
I’d love to cast a bal-
lot for Jim Leuthner, but
I live outside Ward 3.
Here’s why I’d vote Jim, if
I could:
• Candidates often
say they support “work-
ing people.” Jim Leuth-
ner is “working people.”
He makes his living as a
union carpenter (and logs
20,000 steps per day doing
it!) Like union teachers,
mail carriers and nurses,
Jim values living wages,
affordable housing and
health care.
• Jim’s a leader. I saw it
the day I met him. He’s a
guy who raises his hand,
speaks up and shows up.
No surprise union mem-
bers elected him trustee
and treasurer.
• Jim’s an activist. I once
asked, “How do you know
about all these rallies? I
never find out until they’re
over.” One reason I made
get-out-the-vote phone
calls in 2020 was because
I’d seen Jim doing it.
• Jim’s plugged in when
it comes to progressive is-
sues. He does his home-
work, asks good ques-
tions and forms opinions.
I’m amazed how much he
geeks out on policy mat-
ters.
• Jim’s a committed en-
vironmentalist. I didn’t
realize how much until I
started writing this letter.
He’s served on our Envi-
ronment and Sustainabil-
ity Commission and the
Capital Region Water-
shed Board.
• Finally, he’s a really
good guy. When I was very
sick at the beginning of the
pandemic, Jim and Ellen
offered to make me matzo
ball soup. To be safe, they
left it on my stoop. When
I brought it in, it was still
warm. Nothing tastes as
good as soup made from
scratch by someone who’s
worried about you.
Sorry to go on so long,
but Jim’s a friend and a
stellar community mem-
ber. I think he deserves
your vote on Election
Day. Since I can’t vote for
him, I hope you will.
Thanks for considering

To the Editor: Stiele for
Elections are underway,
and I’m so excited I’m Hopkins mayor
wearing my “Rank Your
Vote” T-shirt! In St Louis
Park, we now use Ranked
Choice Voting for City
Council races. In most of
the races, only incumbents
are on the ballot, but in
Ward 3 where I live, it’s an
open seat and three can-
didates – Sue Budd, Saul
Eugene and Jim Leuthner
– are running. RCV will be
important in this race.
The St. Louis Park
council election in 2019
was my first opportunity
to rank my vote. Like
now, more than one can-
didate was well-qualified.
St. Louis Park / Hopkins
Without RCV, it may have
been difficult to narrow it
down to one, especially
since, if my choice didn’t
win, I might have helped
elect an unacceptable can-
didate. This is what I love
about RCV; not worrying
about spoilers or wasting
my vote, being able to vote
my heart and knowing I’d
likely be comfortable with
the outcome.
The way it works is you
rank the candidates in or-
der of preference – first,
second and third choice if
you have one. Your second
choice will only count if
your first choice is no lon-
ger in contention, so rank-
ing is to your advantage. I
encourage you to rank as
many candidates as you
find acceptable.
RCV was invented to
ensure the winner has a
broad majority of sup-
port. If one candidate
earns a majority of votes
(50% plus one) among
first choices, that candi-
date wins. But if not, the
candidate in last place
is eliminated and voters
who ranked that person
first now have their sec-
ond choice count. When
down to two candidates,
the one who earns more
votes wins.
With RCV, we are as-
sured that the winner
is representative of the
greatest number of vot-
ers. And without an early
low-turnout primary, all
the voters get to weigh in
on this important decision
in a single, higher turnout
general election.

Goodlund for Hopkins
To the Editor:
I’m writing to announce
my support of Sam Stiele
in his bid to be the next
mayor of Hopkins.
For years, Sam has
dedicated himself to serv-
ing this city. He applied
for, and was appointed
to, the Planning and Zon-
ing Commission where he
currently serves as Ccair.
In addition, has volun-
teered at several of our
local organizations in-
cluding Resource West,
ICA Food Shelf and with
the Hopkins JCI. At every
step, Sam has proven his
commitment to Hopkins
and our citizens.
I have worked with Sam
through the local Rotary
chapter, where he part-
nered with the Hopkins
Police Department to
found the Beds for Kids
program. He hasn’t done
it for notoriety, or credit,
rather he has served and
given back because that’s
who he is.
Sam will work hard to
continue to set Hopkins
up for success as we en-
ter this period of rapid
growth. He is uniquely
qualified to lead, mentor
and support the coun-
cil and city employees in
the coming years. Unlike
his opponents, Sam not
only lives here, but he also
works in Hopkins. He is
approachable, and has
been involved long before
he considered running for
mayor. His Hopkins ex-
perience outweighs that
of the others in this race.
I urge you to vote Sam
Stiele for Hopkins mayor.
He is a leader who is com-
mitted to strengthening
our city, including our
services and businesses,
and encouraging partici-
pation from our citizens.
I am confident that he
will work tirelessly to help
keep Hopkins one of the
best places to live and
work in the state.

Bernice Marie Caldwell Kitchar
Bernice Marie Caldwell
Kitchar, mother of five and
longtime resident of Excelsior
passed away on September 5,
2021 of natural causes. She
was born in a winter blizzard
in Bantry, North Dakota, on
February 6, 1933. She grew up
in Cass Lake, Minnesota and
graduated from Cass Lake
High School, class of 1951.
She met Andy Kitchar, her
future husband, working at Lake Winnibigoshish re-
sorts. Marie loved fashion and sewing from an ear-
ly age. She sewed most of her own clothes, including
jackets, coats, curtains and dolls for her family. Her
Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls were famous, along
with knitted garments and embroidery work.
Service for others was always on her mind.
Besides being a devoted mother, she volunteered at
the Neighborhood Improvement Program (N.I.P) lo-
cated in Minneapolis for many years. The group of
women, who became best friends, collected and dis-
tributed clothing for those in need. She was long time
member of Mt Calvary Lutheran church in Excelsior,
Minnesota, and she served on the PTA.
Marie began wintering in Key West around 2000,
where her daughter owned Blue Heaven Restaurant.
She moved to Key West full time about 10 years ago.
While in Key West, Marie was in charge of the mon-
ey office at Blue Heaven. She missed no details and
no employees ever got anything past her. “If you have
time to gripe you have time to wipe,” she would tell
the servers.
Marie adored babies and young children. Enjoying
and caring for her grandchildren was a passion. Many
knew her as the Blue Heaven grandma in Key West,
Florida.
Gardening, feeding the birds, filling her bird bath,
nature and simple pleasures became her. Always wel-
coming, she was a strong, take-charge leader, filled
with kindness, generosity, and a good sense of humor.
She loved to look out from her big picture window at
Lake Minnetonka where she lived a few doors down
from the Old Log Theatre.
She was preceded in death by parents Alfred
Thomas Caldwell and Bernice Beatrice Tellin, spouse
Andrew F. Kitchar, son Timothy Andrew Kitchar,
daughter-in-law Kathryn B. Alley/Kitchar and broth-
er-in-law Jerome Andrew Bohn.
She is survived by children Thomas Alfred
Kitchar, Melissa Jane Kitchar Hood and spouse
James F. Hood, Suanne Marie Kitchar and partner
Richard W. Hatch, John M. Kitchar; grandchildren
Erica Wilkenson, Erin Rebecca Hood Bozeat and
spouse Nathan David Bozeat, Peter Allan Hood,
Richard W. Hatch IV, Andrew Kitchar Hatch; sister
Beatrice Ann Caldwell Bohn; sister-in-law Marion
Kitchar Beise; great grandchildren, nieces, nephews,
cousins, and friends.

Seth believes a lack of role

of negative stereotypes has
played a role in the dispar-
ity among scientists.
As a result, 3M spon-
sored the film “Not the
Science Type,” a compila-
tion of short films profiling
female scientists. A brief
film about Seth will screen
along with other short doc-
umentaries for $12 a ticket

in St. Louis Park.

Along with Seth, “Not
the Science Type” exam-
ines the lives of nuclear en-
gineer Ciara Sivels, scientist
and inventor Gitaniali Rao
and microbiologist Jessica
Taaffe.
“While each has taken a
different path to pursuing
scientific excellence, they
are bound by the common
experience of feeling out-
cast or ‘not the type’ in tra-
ditionally homogenous sci-
entific fields,” a description
of the compilation says.

Her role as chief science
advocate for the company
began after the index sur-
vey in 2018 found that four
out of 10 respondents said
their lives would be no dif-
ferent without science.
“They were actually tak-
ing the survey on their lap-
tops and mobile phones, so
it was very clear that science
is sort of undervalued, un-
der-appreciated, taken for
granted,” Seth said. “It’s
kind of behind the scenes,
so we need to advocate for
it.”
“Not the Science Type”

and because its creators believe the film
would resonate with participants in the
Twin Cities Film Fest.
“We want to show that you can actually
break those barriers and you can actually
blaze new trails,” Seth said. “One of the
taglines is ‘your potential is exponential.’
So, we want to kind of foster that conver-
sation.”
While she said some core science areas
are near reaching gender parity, Seth said,
“In engineering, the numbers are pretty
dismal yet.”
Along with a lack of awareness about
role models in the field, Seth suggested that
some girls may avoid it because engineer-
ing is presented in a dry manner instead
of focusing on goals that can be accom-
plished, such as designing systems that can
help save the rainforest.
“That is the context that is going to in-
spire young girls, and I saw that in myself
and I also saw that decades later in my own
daughter,” Seth said.
Cultural depictions of scientists as so-
cially awkward or even villains in films can
also lessen the appeal, she added.
“The good news is that the world is be-
ginning to see that that it is having an im-
pact, and people are agreeing that women
and girls still face obstacles and there are
negative consequences, so I think this is
a perfect time for us to step up and show
that you don’t have to be a specific race or
gender, ethnicity or nationality,” Seth said.
At Tribeca, Brittain said, “I think the au-
dience reception was really impressive for
me – I mean, seeing people move to tears.”
He added, “Each one of these women’s
stories is emotional, but they are com-
mitted to what they do, and that comes
through in the film.”
While 3M has long promoted STEM
education, Brittain said, “It’s very different
when you talk about giving money versus
telling a story, and this is all about storytell-
ing and getting those stories out there so
that we can inspire the next generation.”
In addition to the film fest website,
the film is available to stream on iTunes,
Google Play and the 3M YouTube chan-
nel.

Pettis has been released from custody,
according to the Hennepin County Sher-
iff’s Jail Roster.
A court document provides the follow-
ing account of the allegations:
St. Louis Park Police responded to a
report of a child struck by a car at Ex-
celsior Boulevard and Natchez Avenue
Sept. 13. Officers found a woman tending
to a young child who was crying and had
contusions to his forehead and temples.
Multiple witnesses told police a white
sedan had struck the child in the cross-
walk.
“The sedan was driving at a high rate
of speed, swerved around several others
cars that were stopped at the red light,
entered the left-turn only lane, entered
the crosswalk, struck the victim while
he was in the crosswalk launching him

approximately (15) feet into the air, and
continued through the intersection going
straight in the left-turn only lane against
a solid red light,” the court document
states. “The vehicle continued straight,
going the wrong way eastbound in the
westbound lane of traffic. The vehicle
then fled the scene.”
The document says police confirmed
the details through video surveillance of
the incident.
“On video, several bystanders can be
seen looking towards the crosswalk im-
mediately after the collision and rushing
to aid the victim,” the document states.
One witness followed the suspect ve-

that police said matched a vehicle regis-

COMMUNITY BRIEF

Write-in campaign begins
for former St. Louis Park
Councilmember Basill
A group of St. Louis Park residents
have said they intend to support former
Councilmember John Basill for his prior
city position.
Basill represented Ward 2 on the coun-
cil beginning in 2002 and ending in Jan.
2010. He still resides in the ward, he said.
Because no at-large council positions are
on the ballot this year, Basill could only
represent his ward if he wins enough
votes in Ward 2.
Councilmember Lynette Dumalag is
the only candidate to file for the seat by
the deadline. The council previously ap-
pointed Dumalag in Nov. 2020 to replace
former Councilmember Anne Mavity,
who resigned amid a move to Minne-
apolis.
St. Louis Park city code states that any
write-in candidate for municipal office
must notify the city’s chief election of-
ficer in writing at least seven days before
the election in order for the city to count
write-in votes specifically for the candidate.
Otherwise, the city will simply tally all
write-in ballots together under the label of
“undeclared write-in” ballots, according to
City Clerk Melissa Kennedy. Votes for a
write-in candidate who files a request with
the city at least a week in advance would
be tallied by the candidate’s name in results
with other write-in votes for undeclared
candidates appearing separately.
As of an Oct. 14 email, Kennedy said
no individuals had made such a written
request yet.
Reached for comment via email, Basill
wrote, “Various people have informed me
of their intent to write me in. If in fact the
majority of votes were a write in for me I
would accept the position. I will advise the
City Clerk.”

October Issue
ICA volunteers in Minnetonka help meet food needs
By SUE WEBBER
Contributing Writer
Food insecurity is a reality
that hasn’t diminished during
the pandemic. For many subur-
ban families, the ability to pro-
vide the food they need to sus-
tain their households may have
become even more difficult dur-
ing this last COVID year.
Scores of donors and volun-
teers have continued to expend
their best efforts to breach the
gap.
At ICA (Intercongregation
Communities Association) Food
Shelf in Minnetonka, many vol-
unteers continue to show up once
or twice a week to meet the needs
of the 525 households served by
the agency.
“There has been so much help
with government funding and
lots of non-profits that have of-
fered things to clients, said Re-
becca MacKenzie, manager of
volunteers at the ICA Food Shelf.
“A lot of society has stepped up.”
Kate Bryant of Deephaven
Volunteers package coffee at the ICA Food Shelf in Minnetonka.
Discovering The Mature Lifestyle
has been a volunteer at ICA
Food Shelf for the last six years.
“I help clients choose food, and
I have restocked shelves, bagged
groceries and help load food into
the clients’ cars,” Bryant said,
adding that she also has helped
get donations to the agency from
area food drives.
“It’s fun; I’ve met wonderful
people,” Bryant said. “Our mis-
sion is to serve the neighborhood
and the community. It’s neigh-
bors helping each other out. The
clients are usually people who
have hit a bad bump and need
help getting back on their feet.
Tom Whelan said he has fol-
lowed in his wife’s footsteps in
volunteering at the food shelf for
the last five years. “It’s important
work,” Whelan said.” It has be-
come a curbside business during
the pandemic.”
Jo Carlson, who said she lived
a block and a half from ICA’s
original location, said she has
been a volunteer at the food
shelf every Monday afternoon
for 20 years, sometimes at the
St. Louis Park / Hopkins hometownsource.com/sun_sailor
front desk. She also volunteers
at the Bethesda Thrift Store in
Minnetonka.
“It’s fun,” she said. You never
know what you’ll find.”
According to the ICA Food
Shelf website, volunteers in-
clude individuals, families, stu-
dents, retirees, senior citizens,
corporate groups, religious or-
ganizations, school groups, and
many others who help serve their
neighbors.
The minimum age to volun-
teer is 12; anyone 15 or younger
must be accompanied by an
adult. Volunteers must be at least
16 years old to work with ICA
clients.
Families and children under
age 15 can also volunteer at
many ICA events, including the
annual Postal Drive in May, Tour
de Tonka in August, the bian-
nual Big Island & Back! events,
Bagging for Tips, the November

Volunteers help to maintain KidPack program

By SUE WEBBER
Contributing Writer
Under the tutelage of Dawn
Dresser, director of mission and
outreach, Calvary Lutheran
Church in Golden Valley has
several approaches to food inse-
curity in the community.
All the outreach requires vol-
unteer help, and, Dresser said,
“We are very blessed to have peo-
ple here who are very committed
to helping with this.”
Beginning in 2012, Calvary
partnered with Good Samari-
tan-Ambassador in New Hope
on the KidPack program, to pro-
vide nearby school children with
a bag of food to take home for
the weekend.
“We started with Neill School
in Crystal,” Dresser said. “Three
to four years later, we were asked
to take on SEA (School of En-
gineering and Arts) in Golden
Valley.”
Ambassador Care Center and
Calvary Church partner with the
Rotary in Golden Valley and the
Rotary group in Crystal/Robbin-
sdale/New Hope to ensure that
each KidPack bag contains two
breakfast items (cereal or oat-
meal), two lunch items (macaro-
ni and cheese or tuna or chicken
salad on a cracker), a milk or
juice beverage, cut-up packaged
fruit or fresh fruit, and a couple
of other snack items.
Volunteers gather every other
Wednesday at Calvary Church to
assemble the KidPacks and then
deliver them to the classrooms at
each school on Friday. The pro-
gram is open to any student at
each school. Approximately 225
bags are prepared in total, during
a normal, non-pandemic year.
Food to fill the bags is ordered
online, through The Food Group,
Dresser said.
“We started delivering at the
schools, but last year was really
hard with the pandemic,” Dress-
er said. “Then we just did meals.
We started coming back to the
schools in February. We try to
make sure we cover one child’s
meals for the weekend. “We
have tried to be more healthful
with snacks, with meat or turkey
sticks, crackers, sunflower seeds
and fruit.”
Providing 225 KidPack bags at
a time requires a host of volun-
teers. During non-COVID times,
Calvary has 20-25 people who
help, including Kathy Wright and
Barbara Borthwick.
Kathy Wright said she has
been volunteering with the food
programs at Calvary for at least
the last seven years. The Kid-
Pack assembling that she does
is an assembly line that moves
pretty fast, she said. “We do as
many as 150 at times,” Wright
said. “The program goes through
fifth grade. The children probably
share it (the food bag) with their
siblings.”
Having volunteered even be-
fore she retired from Target in
2017, Wright said the benefits
are priceless. “For me, volunteer-
ing is just a gift,” she said. “It is
truly my pleasure to meet people
and be with people.”
Barbara Borthwick said she
has worked with KidPack every
other week, Meals on Wheels
once a month for between nine
and 12 meals each route, and for
the last 12 years with Feed My
Starving Children.
“It feels like we’re doing some-
thing significant,” Borthwick
said. “The people who volunteer
are just great. It’s great to see ev-
erybody every other week.”
Calvary also has volunteers
who serve other efforts to combat
food insecurity, including:
• Volunteers packed up meals
each week for the people in Cal-
vary Cooperative Apartments for
several months after the pandem-
ic started.
• Meals on Wheels: Meals are
cooked by CEAP (Community
Emergency Assistance Programs)
in Brooklyn Center and delivered
to Calvary, where volunteers help
distribute them twice a month to
clients’ homes. Twelve Calvary
volunteers are drivers on the
first Wednesday of the month,
and three volunteers drive on the
third Tuesday of the month.
• Feed My Starving Children
(FMSC): Since 2008, Calvary
has conducted an annual Mobile-
Pack event at the church, at which
volunteers pack meals for hungry
children outside of the U.S.
This summer, 500 volunteers
showed up at Calvary for one
Thursday night- through-Sunday
packing event, working three
shifts a day, packing a total of
163,296 meals.
“We used to do 750,000 to
a million meals,” Dresser said.
“We’d fill one truck in the front
of the church, and two trucks in
the back. It’s really fun.”
• Food Drives: Calvary con-
ducts two or three food drives
each year and delivers the do-
nations to PRISM (People Re-
sponding in Social Ministry),
Community Emergency Services
(CES) in south Minneapolis, and
now ICA (Intercongregation
Communities Association) in
Hopkins and Minnetonka.
“During the pandemic this
year, one of the partners donat-
ed 1,500 pounds of black beans
and pinto beans, and volunteers
worked to repackage it into two-
pound bags,” Dresser said.
“We donated about 1,000
pounds of food to Loaves and
Fishes through Second Harvest
Heartland in Brooklyn Park, a
food bank that is one of our part-
ners,” Dresser said.
• Habitat for Humanity: Cal-
vary also has volunteers who
help with Habitat for Human-
ity home-building for one week
each summer. “This year we part-
nered with a group of northwest
churches,” Dresser said.
Calvary spends about $320,000
a year on Outreach projects and
Hunger and Human Needs, ac-
cording to Dresser. “Feed My
Starving Children is over and
above that,” Dresser said. “When
we do 750,000 FMSC meals, it is
another $180,000.
“For KidPack, part of the
funding comes from Calvary, and
we also work with Good Samari-
tan, our two local Rotary clubs,
the Calvary Cooperative next
door, and some local businesses
also,” Dresser said.
Originally an accountant,
Dresser said her work at Calvary
“fits me much better. I get to do
what God is calling me to do. I am
following his lead.
“It’s always a matter of jug-
gling multiple people, and indi-
vidual callers who need help,”
Dresser said. The food insecurity
is “not always kids from the inner
city,” Dresser said. “We need to
figure out how to talk about that.
It’s a reality and we cannot shame
people.”

SouthernMinnClassifieds.com Veterans find success in tech

The vast scope and skills
involved in running the
MinnesotaState.JOBS world’s most powerful mili-
tary force speaks to what can
be called the best-trained
workforce anywhere.
The experience and train-
ing earned during military
service prepares veterans
for the opportunity to enter
the civilian workforce with
enviable preparation for the
transition into the sophisti-
cated tech sector.
Beyond mere training,
the military offers valu-
able intangibles necessary
to navigate the often com-
plicated world of business
and its intersection with
technology. These qualities
— work ethic, dedication
to duty, commitment and
leadership — are attractive
to employers and give ser-
vicemembers a leg up in this
competitive environment.
The sheer number of vet-
erans returning from active
duty in both war zones and
those who serve in support
of the military’s vast world-
wide operations requires a
large network of transition-
al support. Aside from the
assistance available from
the VA, there are many non-
profit and an assortment of
recruitment organizations
who exist to aid veterans in
making the leap from serv-
ing their country to serving
the nation’s technological
ecosystem. Here are but a
few veterans can access for
support and opportunity.
VET TEC
How do veterans get the
hard skills to get into one
of these coveted, high end
tech jobs, asks the website
CodePlatoon.org, which
helps veterans and military
spouses transition into the

viding technical training

Another comeback leads to another win for Orioles

By JASON OLSON
jason.olson@apgecm.com
For a second time in
three weeks, St. Louis
Park football won a game
by one point.
Fans at the Oct. 15 game
at St. Louis Park Stadium
saw the Orioles (5-2) de-
feat Waconia 29-28, after
scoring all 29 points in the
fourth quarter.
“The kids showed great
resolve,” Park coach Ja-
son Foster said, noting the
contributions came across
the roster on a night they
honored the 18 seniors.
“Those seniors lead by ex-
ample and all contributed
tonight.”
Orioles junior receiv-
er Stefano Giovannelli
caught the first of three
touchdowns in the fourth
quarter to break up the
shutout.
Add a second touch-
down pass from quarter-
back Will Dvorak, who
found Stanley Regguinti to
make it 21-13, but a missed
extra point kick kept it to

Orioles are 5-2 after a 29-28 win over Waconia on Oct. 15.
an eight-point game.
Dvorak finished the
night completing 16-of-32
passes for 209 yards and
threw four touchdowns.
He also ran 11 times for
16 yards as the team over-
all averaged 5.2 yards per
carry.
Waconia responded
with a short touchdown as
standout sophomore run-
ning back Max McEnelly
ran for 60 yards to set up
the score. Waconia had a
28-13 lead with 58 seconds
to play.
But, Park still had all
three timeouts and needed
to score quickly to have a
chance at the win.
Giovannelli caught his
second touchdown of the
day on another post route
(SUN PHOTO BY JASON OLSON)
to cut the lead to 28-21
with 38 seconds on the
clock.
Junior Jimmy Hager re-
covered the onside kick to
keep the hopes alive.
Park got the ball to the
Wildcats’ 35-yard line with
10 seconds to play and no
timeouts.
While under pressure,
Dvorak evaded tacklers
and rolled outside the
pocket where he threw to
Giovannelli for his third
touchdown of the quarter
– and 10th of the season
with four seconds to spare.
Down 28-27, Foster
elected to go for the win.
Dvorak handed the ball
off to senior Deontez Ross
Jr. who followed fellow se-
niors Zach Johnson and
Henry Eaton across the
goalline for the walk-off
win.
“We battled too hard
to get back into the game
not to go for the win here,”
Foster said of the decision
to go for the win at the end
instead of kick the extra
point to force overtime.
Ross ran for 119 yards
on 20 carries after posting
a season-high 141 yards
against Holy Angels the
previous week.

St. Louis Park swept the
boys and girls team titles
at the inaugural Brookside
Invitational in Blooming-
ton on Oct. 12.
The meet was hosted
by the Bloomington Jef-
ferson cross country pro-
gram and included middle
school, junior varsity and
varsity races for programs
from Prior Lake, Robbins-
dale Cooper, Richfield and
Bloomington Kennedy.
The meet served as a
good primer for the Metro
West Conference Cham-
pionships, which is set for
Oct. 19 at nearby Hyland
Greens Golf Course. The
Jaguars were allowed to
host one meet this fall in-
stead of the typical two

used as much of the park
as possible to complete a
5,000-meter course, which
included two trips up the

stretch allowed runners a
direct view of the final 200
meters to the finish line.
Brookside Invite girls
The St. Louis Park Ori-
oles beat out Jefferson by 16
points for the girls’ varsity
title and 22 points for the
boys’ varsity title. The top
five of seven runners score
points based on finish with
first place counting for one
team point, two points for
second place, etc.
In the girls’ race, Park
had its top five runners
finish in the top seven. The
team was led by sopho-
more Jersey Miller who
pulled away from Jeffer-
son eighth-grader Amelia
Borgen over the final 500
meters to win the race in
18 minutes, 51.6 seconds.
Borgen crossed at 19:03.3.
They were nearly a full
minute ahead of the next
group that included Park
freshman Nora Lindeman
(19:55.7) and sophomore
Ruby Massie (19:58.6),
Kennedy freshman Gwen
Voigt (19:59.6), Jefferson
sophomore Jamie Drewitz
(20:02.2) and Park senior
Fredonia Zeigle (20:35.7)

Benilde-St. Margaret’s
football coach Sean Mc-
Menomy said it takes four
or five games to get an ini-
tial grasp of his style of the
spread offense.
Over the last three
weeks, the Red Knights
coach said the team has
played good football but it
wasn’t until Oct. 15 when
the team was finally re-
warded with the first win
of the McMenomy era – a
24-22 win at Orono.
Red Knights kicker El-
liot Huether made a 30-
yard field goal for what
turned out to be the deci-
sive points.
“I’m just so happy for
the kids because they’ve
been frustrated and gone
through a lot of heartbreak
but stayed focused,” Mc-
Menomy said after Hill-
Murray beat BSM 49-43 in
overtime on Homecoming
Night Oct. 8.
A week later against
Orono, BSM running
back Luke Fredin scored
from 7-yards out late in the
opening quarter to tie the
game at 7-7. It stayed that
way until five minutes into
the second half.
Just 1:45 after Orono’s
Aidan Mueller scored from
37-yards out, BSM junior
quarterback Jamarrius
Courtney found his No. 1

Junior middle hitter Si-

Defensively, senior line-

Brady Wine, and Will Pe-

Will Frattalone and Brian

“This was a great team
win in all three phases of
the game,” McMenomy
said. “After a heartbreaker
we had last week, this was
a lot of fun to be a part of.”
The heartbreaker was the
49-43 loss to Hill-Murray,
despite Courtney complet-
ing 27-of-34 passes for 260

Benning caught a sea-
son-high 14 passes for
164 yards and two touch-
downs.
The offense moved the
ball against Orono but
drives would stall thanks
to a fumble in the red zone
and a turnover on downs.
McMenomy categorized
Courtney’s play as “out of
this world” as he’s passed
for 1,094 yards. He’s com-
pleted 61.4 percent of his
passes and throw eight
touchdowns, while averag-
ing 4.8 yards per run (79
carries for 379 yards) and
six touchdowns.
“The offensive guys
are getting into a rhythm
now where Jamarrius can
get into his (run-pass op-
tions), read what the de-
fense is doing and adjust,”
McMenomy said of the
progress Courtney has
made. “Things are mov-
ing slower for him but he
is seeing the fruits of his
labor now.
“He’s adjusted when
needed and is making
great decisions now after
a rough start, but most of
all, he accepts the criticism
and learns from it.”
Combine that with Ben-
ning’s receiving (38 catch-
es for 630 yards and six
touchdowns) and Fredin’s
rushing (averaging 4.5
yards per carry) and the
team is on track to play its
best football at the end of
the season.

we are trying to meet that
goal of playing our best
ball at the end of the year,”
the coach said.
As for rival Orono, Mc-
Menomy knew it would be
a game with emotions on
both sides.
Building off the over-
time loss the previous
week, instead of feeling
sorry for themselves, the
Red Knights coach said his
team walked off the field
with their heads held high
“and chest puffed out.”
The Red Knights closed
out the regular season at
Robbinsdale Cooper (5-

entered the game off a 42-

leading 28-0 at halftime on

Blake girls upset Edina 4-3 Hopkins cross country
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Top-seeded Edina had
a 5-2 regular-season win
over The Blake School girls
tennis team. However, the
Bears were able to flip the
scorecards for a 4-3 win
in the Section 6AA Team
Tournament champion-
ship match Oct. 12 on the
Steve Paulsen Courts in
Edina.
Edina came into the
match as defending state
Class AA champion. The
Hornets had won the title
in 2019, and there wasn’t
a State Tournament last
season due to COVID-19
concerns.
“You can’t count any
points in advance in a
match like this,” Edina
head coach Jaime Gaard
Chapman said. “I thought
this would be a 4-3 match,
one way or the other.”
The battle lines devel-
oped early in the match
with Blake winning three
singles matches in straight
sets and Edina winning
two doubles matches in
straight sets. Those results
left the outcome in the
hands of the second dou-
bles teams and the second
singles matchup between
Blake’s Allyson Jay and
Edina’s Nicola Santoni.
Edina needed wins in both
of those matches to retain
the Section 6AA title it had
won in 2020. Blake needed

runners have great day
at Gale Woods
Drevlow finishes second
in Lake girls competition
By JOHN SHERMAN

The Lake Girls Cross Country Meet
featured some of the state’s premier
runners Oct. 14 at Gale Woods Farm
in Minnetrista.
Two of the best performances came
from Hopkins High’s ninth-grade phe-
noms Sydney Drevlow and Daphne
Grobstein. No one could keep up
with St. Michael-Albertville senior Ali
Weimer, who won the 5K race in 17:17,
but Drevlow never lost sight of the
leader and took second place in 17:41.
Just as impressive as Drevlow’s second
place was Grobstein’s third place in
18:13.
“Sydney and Daphne are two of the (SUN PHOTO BY JOHN SHERMAN)

graduate. Our top three girls - Sydney,
Daphne and Elsa Bergman - have been
doing some of the tough workouts with
our boys team. With their work ethic,
we are seeing steady improvement.”
Bergman ran 19th in the Lake Con-
ference Meet in 19:07. Hopkins’ fourth
and fifth runners, Lila Shaver (20:54)
and Giese Marguerite (20:58) improved
their times. Lillian Wanzek, Ruby Sch-
weigert and Livia Hernke also ran for
the Royals in the conference meet.
The Hopkins girls ran fifth among
seven Lake schools.
On the boys side, Hopkins was up
against two of the best teams in the
state - Wayzata and Minnetonka. The
Royal boys took fourth in the team
standings.
“We didn’t have our best day,” Har-
ris said. “But I was really proud to see
our two sophomores, Tony Provenza-
no and Landon Hering, make the all-
conference team. Landon mad it by .01

Tough start
Park was plagued by three offensive
turnovers including a fumble on the
opening offensive play and another lat-
er in the quarter which led to Waconia’s
first touchdown, a 1-yard run by junior
Max McEnelly who finished with 207
yards and two touchdowns.
At 5-foot-10, 200 pounds, McEnelly
is a tough runner to bring down with
the ball as he surpassed the 1,000-yard
club this season (1,001 yards on 171
carries in seven games) to go with 11
touchdowns.
Foster said the defense wanted to
contain him to the middle of the field.
For a second consecutive week, the
Orioles defense faced one of the top
backs in the state (Holy Angels’ all-state
running back Emmett Johnson ran for
more than 400 yards and six touch-
downs the previous week).
“Max is more of a bruiser so he got
some yards but when our guys needed
to make the play, they did,” Foster said
as slowing the national wrestling cham-
pion was tough.
Waconia led 14-0 at halftime. Despite
the mistakes, Foster saw the resolve in
the locker room, having an idea a come-
back was possible.
“We talked about how those things
(fumbles and mistakes) can happen but
the kids showed great resolve,” Foster
said.
