Saint Therese gets clearance from
state to begin ambitious expansion
Flagship campus in New Hope will move
licensed beds to proposed Corcoran facility
By ALAINA ROOKER
alaina.rooker@apgecm.com
The Minnesota Department of
Health recently granted exceptions
that will allow a $150 million ex-
pansion of the Saint Therese Senior
Communities system. The approval
from the state, which occurred in
September, greenlit the St. Louis
Park nonprofit’s plans to shift 54
nursing home beds from its flag-
ship facility in New Hope to a new
campus in Corcoran.
Volume 77, No. 46
The expansion will modernize
the design of the New Hope cam-
pus, which has remained largely un-
changed for five decades, and push
the nonprofit’s presence farther into
the northwest metro. Currently,
the nonprofit has facilities in New
Hope, Robbinsdale, Brooklyn Park,
Shoreview and Woodbury.
According to spokesperson Barb
Hemberger, the indication from the
state allows the project to begin
seeking financing.

Hope facility is expected to begin
in the spring, with completion in
mid-2025. Reconstruction will be
staggered to continue regular op-
erations to both its assisted- and
independent-living residents.
The nonprofit hopes to construct
the new facility in southeast Corcor-
an concurrently with the New Hope
project, though with an earlier com-
pletion date in 2023.
The project will also need ap-
proval from the New Hope City
Council. Significant approvals have
already been made by the Corcoran
City Council.

Glen Lake Go!
the program
taking elementary
students on the go
Each grade level aims to have one
learning experience each month
By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
Glen Lake Go!, a new
program for Glen Lake
Elementary students,
hopes to provide students
with about 10 unique ex-
periences and field trips
throughout the school
year.
The program is funded
by Glen Lake Elemen-
tary’s PTO and a $4,350
Hopkins Education
Foundation grant that
was awarded to the school
last spring. According to
Glen Lake Principal Jeff
Radel, the grant was orig-
inally intended to help
fund experiences like off-
campus field trips. How-
ever, the beginning of the
COVID-19 pandemic put
a stop to field trips and
the funding instead went
toward the bus and for
wrapping it in graphics.
Glen Lake students
helped brainstorm the
wrap design for the bright
blue 14-passenger bus.
“I’m passionate about
rethinking the role of the
principal,” Radel said. “I
don’t want to be the one
that just sits in the office
and waits for things to
come to me. I’ve always
had a passion about being
in the classrooms as much
as I possibly can and when
this idea came forward, I
said ‘if I’m going to make
this idea happen, what can
Rivalry final

Page 21
I do to best make this idea
a reality?’”
He answered that by
pursuing a bus driving
license to drive the bus
himself.
“When you think of
the cost of a field trip, it’s
not the actual vehicle that
we’re paying for. We’re
paying for the driver and
drivers, and as we know,
there’s a bus driving short-
age,” he said. Radel began
training over the summer
and his final test was this
past weekend.
The Glen Lake Go! pro-
gram uses an experiential
learning philosophy, also
known as place-based
education, to immerse
students in local cultures,
landscapes and opportu-
nities as a foundation for
studying subjects across
the curriculum. The pro-
gram ties into the district’s
Vision 2031 philosophy,
which was created with
the core belief that every
student deserves a bril-
liant future.
“When you’re in the
classroom, there’s great
learning and there’s stan-
dards and there’s a cur-
riculum we need to make
sure students receive,”
Radel said. “At the same
time, a lot of that can be
siloed and students can’t
really see the application.

Outdated design
The Sun Post first spoke with Saint
Therese CEO Barb Rode about expan-
sion plans in February 2020. A few
months later, the New Hope facility be-
came the site home to one of the state’s
deadliest COVID-19 outbreaks. Due to
outdated building ventilation and the
facility’s hospital design, which featured
two patients in a room with a shared
bathroom, the virus was able to spread
more easily.
In an interview this summer, Rode
acknowledged the difference the renova-

relocated or consolidated through an
application process. Of the 13 applica-
tions this year, four were approved. Two
of those approvals made up the Saint
Therese project.
Plans in New Hope include a complete
rebuild of the nursing home care center
with larger rooms and private bath-
rooms. Amenities like a therapy pool,
chapel, kitchen and public restaurant
will be organized to resemble the feel of
a city center. The campus will also add a
new wing of 54 independent living apart-
ments, and all existing apartments will be
renovated under the plan.
The Corcoran facility will have 99 in-
dependent living apartments and 53 as-
sisted living apartments in addition to
the 54 nursing home units. It is expected
to enhance Corcoran’s planned Town
Center with an outdoor plaza and am-

sixth grader Henry who participated in
the field trip to Glen Lake Golf Course,
said they wouldn’t be taking face-to-face,
in-person educational experiences for
granted anymore after the COVID-19
pandemic.
“Henry was super excited about it. He
loves to golf and he doesn’t get to golf
with friends too often because his friends
don’t have an opportunity or have had ac-
cess to golf, ” she said, adding that she had
originally assumed the students would be
golfing on school grounds.
William Barringer, a Hopkins physical
education teacher, was a part of the golf
course field trip. The trip was part of an
elective physical education course given to
fifth and sixth graders interested in golf.
The students were able to register for the
electives they wanted, with some of the
other options including a ceramics class
or a class that teaches dances from around
the world.
“To be able to go to the golf course and

What does a dentist, an elevator
boring contractor, a law enforce-

Minnesota have in common?
They are all eligible to fill a few
of the current 530 open appoint-
ed positions on various boards,
commissions, work groups and
task forces serving the State of
Minnesota in a variety of impor-

A dentist is needed for an open
seat on the nine-member Min-

board examines, licenses and
regulates dentists and dental
therapists, hygienists and assis-
tants and enforces the Minnesota
Dental Practices Act.
The State Advisory Council
on Wells and Borings is cur-

evator boring contractor to serve
a four-year term. This council
advises the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Health on licensing or
registering well contractors and
explorers, and on technical mat-
ters relating to the regulation or
the construction, maintenance
and ultimate sealing of wells and
borings. The council also advises
the MDH well program on poli-
cies, proposed rule revisions and
technical matters and administers

year after year.
Water management organiza-

out of the streets so they don’t

– and that’s still an important
practice. However, we now real-

leaves in our gardens and other

If you like to keep things tidy,
try creating a pile of leaves in

beneath some spruce trees, or
consider constructing a decora-

keeping leaves and vegetation on

to emerge in the spring.
An unintended consequence
of losing insects includes losing
many other farther up the food
chain that depend on them. Ac-
cording to the Audubon Society
and Scientific American, bird
populations have declined 29%
since 1970 across nearly all hab-

This quick review of just
four of the 254 boards, com-

forces shows just how necessary
they are to the workings of
state government and what an
invaluable asset the 3,636 state

positions are to the state.

to fill positions even though
some require very specific li-

No consensus
A consensus could not
be reached at the meeting.
New Hope Mayor Kathi
Hemken and Crystal May-
or Jim Adams both stated
that the proposal would
need to be discussed in
separate, internal work
sessions with full council
membership present be-
fore indication could be
given to the department
and fire board.
Adams, a West Metro
firefighter from 1999 to
2015, wondered if the
grant was the best solution
to the department’s cur-
rent problems. He weighed
the cost of full-time staff
against his council’s efforts
to remain fiscally conser-
vative.
“We’ve done some
things in Crystal – we’ve
been fighting for every bit
of levy increase to help us

like a lot by itself ... but
we’ve got that happen-
ing in roads, we have that

erything we’re doing we’re

you guys know as well as
I do that staff is very, very
expensive.”
Councilmember Mi-
chael Isenberg countered
that the increase was
worth the benefits.
“I’ve said a million times
that the core function of
government is public safe-
ty, and this is exactly that,”
Isenberg said. “I would

Avoiding Jargon

SouthernMinnClassifieds.com
You might be a seasoned, yourself apart by writing in

effective team leader who
meets and exceeds goals
and is detail-oriented. But
it might not be such a good
idea to describe yourself
with those overused words
on a resume.
Resume writing has a ten-
dency to follow a set pattern
of narrow, trendy vocabu-
lary, but if you’re not care-
ful, your resume can end up
using a lot of big words that
don’t really say anything
about you.
To help your message cut
through the clutter, here
are some tips for avoiding
resume writing jargon.
Use natural language
The business world has
a habit of overusing some
words to the point that they
become meaningless.
Instead of filling your
résumé with popular buzz-
words — “actionable,”
“outside the box,” “syn-
ergy” and the like — set
MinnesotaState.JOBS
a clear, concise, easily un-
derstandable tone.
You want to tout your
specific accomplishments
that will make you stand
out from other job appli-
cants. Use exact numbers
and figures where possible,
and use your resume as a
chance to tell brief but en-
gaging stories about what
skills you can bring to the
organization.
Instead of simply calling
yourself “detail-oriented,”
give a specific example that
proves it.
Focus on action
Unless you’re applying you’ve done in previous the wording on your résumé, used words you choose to

Falcons hold off comeback, advance to 5AAAAA final

By ANTHONY IOZZO
anthony.iozzo@apgecm.com
Coach Jack Negen told the
Armstrong football team at
halftime Oct. 30 that St. Louis
Park was not going to go away
quietly despite the Falcons’ big
lead in the 5AAAAA section
semifinal.
All the third-seeded Orioles
did was score three touchdowns
to get within a field goal of ty-
ing the game. But second-seeded
Armstrong (6-3 overall) was able
to finally switch back the mo-
mentum with a 6 play, 80-yard
drive in the fourth quarter that
ended with a 30-yard touch-
down pass from junior quarter-
back Jamen Malone to junior
wide receiver Marquan Tucker.
That’s where the score stood
with the Falcons coming away
with a 35-26 win, a spot in the
section final and a shot at ad-
vancing to the Class 5A state
tournament.
Negen had watched the game
film on St. Louis Park’s come-
back win over Waconia on Oct.
15 when the Orioles trailed by
21 points in the fourth quarter
went on to score 29 points in the
fourth quarter – including two
touchdowns in the final 30 sec-
onds – to win that game.
So Negen was not surprised
by how the second half turned
out.
Armstrong junior wide receiver Marquan Tucker uses a stiff arm to gain some extra yards on a catch in the third quarter Oct.
30 in a 5AAAAA section semifinal against St. Louis Park at Armstrong High School. Tucker caught a touchdown pass in the
fourth quarter.
“I said, this is going to be a
dogfight if we weren’t careful,
and we weren’t careful,” Negen
said. “They are a great team.
They’ve done a great job, and
(Dvorak) is a player, so we will
take it and move on.”
Most of the offensive damage
for Armstrong was done in the
first half, building a 29-3 lead at
halftime.
The first quarter was a little
challenging with several turn-
overs, but Malone was able to
put the Falcons up 7-3 with a 51-
yard touchdown pass to senior
wide receiver Peyton Newbern.
Malone followed that score
with a 26-yard touchdown pass
to senior wide receiver Kayden
College.

ed with senior running back

down pass on a 40-yard play to

senior wide receiver Eustace
McGowan to push the lead to
22-3 later in the second quarter.
But the biggest score of the
first half might have been the
touchdown that came right at
the end of the first half.
Armstrong started with the
ball on their 34-yard line, but a
fumbled snap put the ball back
to their 5-yard line with just 28
seconds to go.
Evans followed with a huge
49-yard run that moved the ball
all the way to Orioles’ 46, and
Malone connected with Peyton
Newbern on a 34-yard pass. An
additional personal foul call
moved the ball up to the 6-yard
line, but only two seconds re-
mained.
Instead of kicking a field goal,
however, Negen decided to gam-
ble for the touchdown, and the
Falcons came through in a big
way.
Malone was able to hit Mc-
Gowan on a short pass to his
left, and McGowan slipped past
a tackle to dive into the end
zone. After the extra point, that
made it 29-3 at halftime.
“We thought about, ‘Well, are
we going to kick that one,’ and
we kind of had that play,” Ne-
gen said. “Now looking back,
I’m glad we ran it. That would
have made that last drive a little
scarier.”
Of course, St. Louis Park
came out strong in the second
half. Senior defensive back Jor-
dan McClom had a big sack to
make it third-and-long, but a
dead ball personal-foul call for
unnecessary roughness on an-
other player gave the Orioles a
free first down.
Eleven plays later, senior
Deontez Ross Jr. punched in a
1-yard touchdown run, and se-
nior William Dvorak connected

Cooper boys cross country
had its season come to a close
Oct. 27 in the 6AAA section
meet at Gale Woods Farm in
Minnetrista.
The Hawks were led by se-
nior Magnus Korstad, who
closed his high school career
with a 26th-place finish in 17
minutes, 31.35 seconds.
Cooper took eighth as a
team with a 219.
Senior Joseph Kubly also
closed his high school career,
taking 37th in 18:16.58, and
the next five runners finished

Junior Logan Voigt finished

Olson was about 27 seconds be-
hind in 20:54.36. Junior Isaac
Bickler took 53rd in 21:17.39,
and junior John Owens was
next in 21:29.25.

fourth quarter and had two goal-
line stands to clinch the win.
Coach Willie Howard said he
told the team before the game to
start fast and take care of busi-
ness in the first and second quar-
ter to allow for the opportunity to
finish the game in the second half
– an expectation if they played
like they were supposed to.
“That’s what our kids did to-
night,” Howard said. “Our lead-
ers gave us an opportunity to get
some young kids in today. Much
respect to the other coaching
staff. It was good to see some
of your other buddies coaching
on the other team going against
you.”
The offensive highlights mostly
happened in the first half with
senior quarterback Joe Russell
throwing for five touchdowns.
Russell finished 11-for-17 for 254
yards and no interceptions, as
well.
Russell first connected with se-
nior Donte’ Williams on a 9-yard
touchdown pass in the first quar-
ter.
Senior running back Camden
Royal added a 12-yard touch-
down run, and Russell closed the
quarter with a 74-yard connec-
tion with senior David Connors.

game is usually a close struggle
for much of it.
While Cooper has defeated
the Falcons four times since
2011, two of the games were one
possession and one was tied at
halftime. The last time these two
teams met in a playoff game in
2010, that was also a one-posses-
sion game with Cooper winning
19-13.
Another tough game would
not be surprising to Armstrong
coach Jack Negen.
“That’s what we’re expecting,”
Negen said. “It should be fun.
We’ll see where it goes.”
The last time Armstrong de-
feated Cooper was in 2004, and
that game was a rare blowout in
the rivalry.
Looking back at week 3 on
Sept. 17, Armstrong and Coo-
per were tied 14-14 at halftime
before a few turnovers helped
Cooper gain the momentum in
a 49-14 win.
That score was not indicative
of the game, however.
It was still only a one-posses-
sion game until just over four
minutes left in the third quar-
ter, and the Falcons had several
chances to score again.
But with both teams look-
ing a little healthier for the sec-
tion final, Hawks’ coach Willie
Howard said he believes this one

Russell started the second
quarter with a 15-yard touch-
down pass to Williams.
Southwest got on the board
with a 76-yard touchdown pass
from senior Preston Engen to se-
nior Andrew Gregerson, but Rus-
sell closed the half with two more
touchdown passes.

might be even closer.
“Coach Jack does an amaz-
ing job with them, and I know
they have been preparing for this
day and I think they are going
to learn from it,” Howard said.
“They have some athletes com-
ing back. They took care of busi-
ness against a tough St. Louis
Park team, so we’re going to
go back to the drawing boards.
We’re going to get creative on
our end as well because we were
missing some players ourselves.
“To be able to have them fresh
and ready to go is going to be
important.”
The crowd should also be pret-
ty wild again, and the early start
should also allow for the football
buzz to be high after school.

7-yard score to make it 42-7.
On one of those scores, the
play was called to be something
different, but Southwest triple
teamed the initial intended tar-
get. So Russell was able to survey
the field and improvise by hitting
a player that was left wide open.
“They can say a lot about me
and my coaching staff, but it goes
to these kids and when you have
a leader like Joe Russell, it goes
without speaking,” Howard said.

can get things rocking and roll-
ing and keep it about football,”
Howard said. “Just really excited
about the opportunity. Our kids
have worked really hard for
when it is time to take care of
business.”
One of the keys for Arm-
strong will be to establish the
run to allow some more space
for some of the experienced
playmakers at wide receiver.

Newbern, Eustace McGowan
and Kayden College and junior

his decision making. And he has
plenty of weapons including
senior running back Camden
Royal, junior tight end Jaxon
Howard, junior wide receivers
Key’Von Cager and Keith Pier-

The key for the offense is try-

strong defensive back corps of
the Falcons – which includes
senior Jordan McClom, juniors
Cordell Wilson, Isaiah Cotton
and Jack Neff and sophomore
Reid Stanslaski.

in on the stop.
The defense also went with
several No. 2 or 3 players on the
depth chart to get them experi-
ence in the second half with the
big lead, and they saw several
trick plays by the Lakers.
The biggest opportunity is to
now have those players see them-
selves on film and notice the differ-
ence between being undisciplined
and learning from mistakes.
“It’s been a blessing for us to
be able to watch them take care
of business and get ready to move
forward,” Howard said.
Southwest did score again in
the fourth quarter with a 7-yard
touchdown pass from Engen to
Gregerson.
But the Hawks were able to se-
cure the running clock later with a
38-yard touchdown run by junior
running back Danari Connors.

The game is expected to be a

Falcons All the Orioles did was go 66 yards on

with senior Christian Arteaga for a two-
point conversion pass to cut the lead to
29-11.
On the next drive, the Falcons were
stopped on a third-and-1 and had to punt
the ball back.
This time, St. Louis Park went 84
yards on nine plays, capped by a 21-yard
touchdown pass from Dvorak to junior
Stefano Giovannelli.
Ross Jr. added a two-point conversion
run, and the lead was now cut to 29-19.
The Falcons went three-and-out on the
next drive and had to punt the ball back
again.
nine plays, capped by a 32-yard touch-
down pass from Dvorak to Giovannelli.
After the extra point, the lead was now
at 29-26.
But the Armstrong offense came to life
again on the next drive to put the game
away.
Malone hit Evans on a short pass that
turned into a 34-yard gain, and junior
running back Reggie Carter and Evans
combined for eight yards on three carries
to set up a fourth-and-2 on the Orioles’
38-yard line.
That is when one of the biggest plays
of the game was made.
Malone was able to connect with Pey-
ton Newbern on a tough 8-yard comple-
tion to give the Falcons’ the first down.
The Malone to Tucker touchdown pass
followed, and Tucker had to make a few
moves to get past defenders to get into the
end zone on that 30-yard play. The point
after was missed, but the lead was 35-26
with seven minutes to go.
“We got some playmakers,” Negen
said. “Our receivers are good ones, and
they all caught a big score tonight. And
then our running game got going a little
bit. I’d like to make sure we have that go-
ing a little bit more where we are not de-
pendent on weather all the time.
“But the kids played, and it was fun.”
Sophomore defensive back Reid Stans-
laski sacked Dvorak on the next drive,
and the Falcons’ defense forced a three-
and-out. Senior linebacker Devin Jones
added an interception later in the quar-
ter, and Armstrong was able to take the
clock down a lot before forcing one final
desperation play before the clock expired.
Now, the Falcons are one game away
from state for the first time since 2003,
and rival Cooper stands in their way. That
game is expected to be at 5 p.m. Friday,
Nov. 5, at top-seeded Cooper.
“We got better today,” Negen said. “We
struggled in the past couple of weeks. We
struggled running the ball a little bit. We
are kind of a big-play team, and we got
some weather stuff. I don’t feel like we
responded great.
“And again today with four turnovers
in the first quarter or whatever it was, and
things aren’t good. But the kids respond-
ed well, and so I feel a little momentum
going into next week.”
