Wayzata-Plymouth Meals on Wheels Man shot by state

Local volunteer group
is participating in
Plymouth Holiday’s
FUNdraiser
By KAITLIN MCCOSKEY
kaitlin.mccoskey@apgecm.com
Plymouth’s Holiday Gas Station
will once again host a FUNdraiser
on Aug. 17, this time raising money
in honor of local Meals on Wheels
50th anniversary. Guests at the
event will be able to purchase bar-
becue lunches and car washes with
100% of the proceeds going to sup-
port Wayzata-Plymouth Meals on
Wheels.
The volunteer organization works
all over the Twin Cities metro area
and beyond, a meal delivery non-
profit working to “service people
who are elderly, homebound and/
or have difficulty preparing their
own meals.”
However, former Wayzata-Plym-
outh Meals on Wheels Director Jo
Rimmereid shared that people don’t
need to be homebound, in serious
poverty, or in dire circumstances to
use Meals on Wheels services.

Wheels Director Susan Little (left) and
former Director Jo Rimmereid.
“A lot of people think that they,
they’re like ‘What do I have to do
to qualify for Meals on Wheels?’
And there did used to be more of
a qualifying process, but today,
we will take anyone,” she said. “It
doesn’t matter if you are ill or not
ill, able or not able, we will serve you
if you want that.
“Part of our big motto is that we
turn no one away from the program,
so if you want it, we’ll serve you as
long as you’re in our service area.”
She explained both the history
of Meals on Wheels locally and her
personal history with the organiza-
tion.
“We’ve been serving the com-
munities of Wayzata, Plymouth,
Hamel and Medina for 50 years
now. We were started in 1973 by a
group of women, some of whom
I think are still big names in the
community,” Rimmereid said. “I
started in 2001 … 22 years, flew by
and I said it was time to join my
husband in retirement, and that’s
when Susan [Little] popped into
the picture.”
Rimmereid’s successor, Little
currently serves as the organiza-
tion’s director.
“I had been a bus driver since 2004
and [was] looking for a change,”
Little said. “This is real exciting for
me to still be part of the commu-
nity and those connections and also
learning new skills.”
Rimmereid explained that post-
pandemic, Meals on Wheels vol-
unteers deliver food Mondays and
Thursdays each week, maintaining
their 50 years of service through
such turbulent times. In honor of
this, those who attend the FUNd-
raiser will get a free ice cream bar
to celebrate the organization’s an-
niversary.

ADOPT A PET
Elvis
This outgoing, affectionate kitten, born
in December 2022, is friendly with
strangers and trusted folks. Elvis greets
you at the door ankle rubs, likes to be
picked up, rubs faces, gives kitty kisses,
and kneads you or the air. He jumps in
or lets you place him in your lap, staying as
long as you keep petting or brushing. He is
a periodic talker and purrs right away. Elvis
likes window watching and playing with toys
by himself or with you. He gets along with
most cats, tolerates respectful dogs
and should be okay with kind kids.
His litter box habits are spot on, and
he uses a scratch post. Elvis would do
best with another cat for a pal. Siblings
are available.
This cat and others are available at Cat
Tales Rescue. Cats have been vet checked,
spayed/neutered, wormed, tested for FIV/
FeLV, have distemper and rabies shots. Adoption
fees are $200+tax, and for cats age 6+ the fee

Essential support
for Minnesota’s
food shelves
Emergency funding to
restock Minnesota’s food
shelves from an unprece-
dented record distribution
year was passed within
the first weeks of the 2023
Minnesota Legislative Ses-
sion. Just as soon as the
2023 Emergency Funding
for Minnesota Food Shelf
Program was signed into
law by Gov. Tim Walz in
March, the state’s emer-
gency food network pre-
pared to receive a welcome
influx of food and money
from the $5 million general
fund appropriation.
While the food shelf
program funding bill can
clearly be seen as the gov-
ernment’s response to the
unprecedented 2 million
increase in visits to food
shelves from 2021 to 2022,
several other legislative
measures passed during the
2023 session are also con-
sidered to be hunger pre-
vention initiatives. These
include the billion-dollar
investment in affordable
housing and renter assis-
tance, new state-funded
child tax credits, access
to paid family leave and
earned sick time, and fund-
ing to make school meals
accessible to most Minne-
sota students.
The thought behind
these seemingly unrelated
initiatives is that each
frees up household budget
money for other necessary
expenses and, therefore,
low-income individuals
and families have more
to spend on good quality,
healthy food like highly
priced fresh produce and
protein like meat and fish.
According to those on
the front line of the state’s
hunger battles, govern-
ment assistance is vital
to meeting the current
demand for emergency
food. Rising prices due to
inflation coupled with a
decrease in food and cash
donations has many local
food shelves struggling to
keep adequate stock while
the number of families and
individuals visiting emer-
gency food centers is soar-
ing. Anoka, Sherburne

all experienced increased
visits of more than 232%
in 2022, according to Hun-
ger Solutions. Some 47%
of those are seeking food
assistance for the first time,
and some 500,000 Minne-
sotans face hunger chal-
lenges each year, according
to Second Harvest Heart-
land.
Jessica Francis, ex-
ecutive director of Open
Cupboard in Oakdale, de-
scribed the organization’s
budget problems caused
by rising prices and need
at a state housing hearing
in February.
“Our food budget was
exceeded by $100,000 last
year,” she said, explaining
Open Cupboard’s focus
on providing people with
healthy, fresh food, which
comes with a higher price
tag than packaged foods.
“When people think of
food shelves they think of
lines of shelves with cans
and boxes of food. There’s
almost none of that at our
food shelf.”
Making more healthy
fresh food available for
distribution is important
because these tend to be
beyond the affordabil-
ity level of the individu-
als and families who visit
Open Cupboard, Francis
said. “We consistently hear
from families that they
were able to stay healthy
during a time of crisis be-
cause of the milk and fresh
produce and protein items
they were able to get from
us.”
But this comes at a cost,
which has some emergency
food centers consistently
operating at a deficit.
While the additional,

Cobb news release, “Londregan

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
near the intersection of
Interstate 94 West and
42nd Avenue North on
July 31, per the coroner’s
report. He was alleg-
edly pulled over by law
enforcement for driving
without his taillights on,
according to State Patrol
Chief Matt Langer. State
troopers then discovered
he was wanted in Ramsey
County for an order for
protection violation.
Body camera footage
was released by the Min-
nesota State Patrol Aug.
2, showing the incident.
While the driver’s face in
the video is blurred, he
was later identified to be
Cobb by family and the
HCME.
According to the Min-
nesota Department of
Public Safety, the BCA
has identified the trooper
who shot Cobb as Ryan
Londregan. According to
their news release, “Lon-
dregan fired his depart-
ment handgun,” and “he
has about a year-and-a-
half of law enforcement
experience.”
According to the same
and Trooper Brett Seide
both suffered minor inju-
ries during the incident.
Seide has two years of
law enforcement experi-
ence and did not use force.
The third trooper who re-
sponded is Garrett Erick-
son. He has about three
years of law enforcement
experience. He did not use
force and was not injured.
All three troopers are on
standard administrative
leave.”
In the released video,
officers can be seen ask-
ing Cobb to exit his ve-
hicle, after which Cobb
asks if there is a war-
rant. The footage shows
officers audibly answer-
ing “no,” and that they
would “explain it” when
Cobb steps out of the ve-
hicle. Cobb can be seen
refusing to exit, at which
point State Patrol enters
the vehicle in an attempt
of force. Cobb is then seen
attempting to drive off,
after which point an offi-
cer fires several gunshots,
hitting Cobb.
While Cobb’s manner
of death was ruled a ho-
micide, the coroner ad-
vises that the manner of
death is “not a legal deter-
mination of culpability or
intent,” but rather a “part
of death certification for
purposes of vital statistics
and public health.”
“Under Minnesota
state law, the Medical Ex-
aminer is a neutral and
independent office and
is separate and distinct
from any prosecutorial
authority or law enforce-
ment agency,” the report
concludes.
Following the release
of the body cam footage
from the incident, Hen-
nepin County Attorney
Mary Moriarty released
a statement.
“My heart goes out
to Mr. Cobb’s family
who are grieving an un-
imaginable loss. I know
they are devastated and
will feel his loss for the
rest of their lives. I also
know this community
continues to navigate the
trauma and grief that
results from police vio-
lence and the tragic loss
of our community mem-
bers at the hands of law
enforcement, no matter
the circumstances. And I
know that our communi-
ty wants answers. We will
work as swiftly as possible
to provide them.”
“This is an important
decision that impacts ev-
eryone in our community,
including the family and
friends of Ricky Cobb,
the troopers who were in-
volved, and our broader
community. I take both
police accountability and
the integrity of the legal
process very seriously,”
she continued. “The in-
vestigation is ongoing,
including interviewing
of witnesses, and I have
asked the BCA to pri-
oritize the investigation.
We remain in communi-
cation with the BCA to
make sure they gather the
information we will need
to make a decision. Once
the case is submitted to us
for review, we will use all
the resources available to
analyze the evidence and
make a charging decision
as quickly as possible. We
cannot discuss the case
further until the BCA has
completed their investiga-
tion.”

gation, and charges, visit

Robbinsdale Board struggles to communicate over bonding request

By ANJA WUOLU
anja.wuolu@apgecm.com
In between arguments about who is
better or worse at asking or answering
questions, the Robbinsdale Area Schools
Board of Directors voted July 21 to ap-
prove the General Obligation Facilities
Maintenance Bonds.
At the special meeting, Directors Helen
Bassett, Greta Evans-Becker, John Vento,
and Sharon E. Brooks voted in favor of
the budget. Directors ReNae Bowman,
Kim Holmes, and Caroline Long voted
against it.
The 4-3 split has become a common
one in recent Robbinsdale School Board
decisions.
The trio of dissenting directors ex-
pressed concerns that the board hadn’t
spoken enough about the plans. They
argued that questions, along with other
questions, had gone unanswered and their
concerns went unheard.
“We have not been able to get the press-
ing questions asked since June, or earlier,
as it relates to the long-term facilities
plan,” Bowman said. “I think if we’re go-
ing to talk about it, it really needs to be
immediately soon.”
The bonds are for $19.7 million worth of
projects for the summer of 2024, namely
the long-term facilities maintenance plan.
The maintenance plan had been approved
with the familiar 4-3 split, but not the plan
needed to be funded. Payments will be
included in the payable 2024 levy.
Michael Hart from PMA and Ukee
Dozier, former director of finance, were
in attendance to provide an overview of
the 2023A bond issuance and address any
questions.
One of four directors in favor of ap-
proving the budget, Bassett, talked about
generating a list of questions to be dis-
cussed in future.
Bassett said she was privy to some ques-
tions, but not all. Bassett said creating a
list of questions and pursuing them was
“incumbent upon this board.”
Superintendent David Engstrom was
absent from the July 21 meeting for medi-
cal reasons.
Earlier arguments
Engstrom also was absent at the previ-
ous special meeting on July 14, which also
included some spirited discussion when
the Board attempted to discuss the “Re-
view of District job vacancies, recently
created positions and future created posi-
tions.” For 80 minutes, the Board argued.
Holmes explained the reason for the
special meeting was to talk about the
newly created administrative position,
referred to in the agenda packet as the
director of systems and special projects.
“Is this the best use of our funds right
now? To be creating more administrative
positions?” Long asked.
According to Long, administrative
roles are more expensive and less urgently
needed than teachers. Long said commu-
nity members “want people in the class-
room who are impacting their kids,” and
that newly created administrative posi-
tions might not fit that model.
Long said she wanted to know how
many new positions will be created in the
coming months, and how that might im-
pact the budget, something the Board is
charged with overseeing.
Long also said she hadn’t been receiv-
ing data, but other directors disagreed.
“To clarify, the information about ad-
ministrative numbers in our district and
other districts, that came to us,” Evans-
Becker said.
“Yes,” Vento added. “That came to the
board on April 14.”
“Was it in comparison? Because some-
body asked to compare to other districts,”
Long said.
“The link is in there, and it’s actually
attached to the email,” Vento said.
“But yet we didn’t have a discussion
about it as a Board, did we? So then I
don’t really count that as information that
was given to the Board,” Long said.
“That is correct and that was my con-
cern,” Bassett said. “When we receive in-
formation in kind of an update form, and

“She saved my life”

Maple Grove, MN resident Dawn R. had been experiencing the painful side effects of Peripheral Neuropathy,
“my feet and legs were extremely painful and my doctor told me there was nothing they could do.That I would
have to take Gabapentin for the rest of my life.”Then she met Dr. Selene Silva
Peripheral Neuropathy is the pain, discomfort
and numbness caused by nerve damage
of the peripheral nervous system. Dawn
explained that daily tasks like opening doors
and using the bathroom were overwhelmingly
painful. “How can you live for the next 30
years when you don’t even want to get out of
bed to do simple things?”
She was experiencing the burning,numbness,
tingling and sharp pains that those suffering
with neuropathy often describe. “The way
that I would describe it, it’s the equivalent to
walking on glass.” Dawn hadn’t worn socks in
five years and was wearing shoes two sizes
too big so that nothing would ‘touch’ her feet.
Unfortunately Dawn’s story is all too
familiar for over 3 million people in the
U.S. suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy.
If you’re unfortunate enough to be facing
the same disheartening prognosis you’re not
sleeping at night because of the burning
in your feet. You have difficulty walking,
shopping or doing any activity for more
than 20 minutes because of the pain. You’re
struggling with balance and living in fear that
you might fall.Your doctor told you to ‘just live
with the pain’ and you’re taking medications
that aren’t working or have uncomfortable
side effects.
Fortunately, four months ago Dawn read an
article about Acupuncturist Dr. Selene Silva
Lic.Ac. and the work she was doing to treat
those suffering from Peripheral Neuropathy
without invasive surgeries or medication.
Acupuncturist Dr. Selene Silva LAc. owner
of Modern Point Acupuncture in Maple
Grove, MN, is using the time tested science
of Acupuncture and technology originally
developed by NASA that assists in increasing
blood flow and expediting recovery and
healing to treat this debilitating disease.
“Now when I go to bed at night I don’t
have those shooting pains. I don’t have
the burning sensation. I don’t have
pain coming up to my legs,” Dawn
enthusiastically describes life after
receiving Dr. Selene Silva’s treatments.
“I can wear socks and shoes!”
Dawn and her sister now operate a successful
dog walking business sometimes covering
up to 5 miles a day.
“It’s life altering. As far as I’m concerned,
Dr. Selene saved my life!”
Acupuncturist, Dr. Selene Silva DACM, LAc.
has been helping the senior community for
over many years using the most cutting edge
and innovative integrative medicine.
Specializing in chronic pain cases,
specifically those that have been deemed
‘hopeless’ or ‘untreatable’, she consistently
generates unparalleled results.
What was once a missing link in senior
healthcare is now easily accessible to the
residents of the twin cities.
If you’ve missed too many tea times because
of pain or you’ve passed on dancing
because you’re afraid of falling, it’s time to
call Acupuncturist Dr. Selene Silva and the
staff at Modern Point Acupuncture.
It’s time you let your golden years BE
GOLDEN!
Modern Point Acupuncture is now accepting
new patients but only for a limited time. In an
effort to protect her patients,both current and
future, she has made the difficult decision
to limit the number of patients seen in her
clinic. Only 20 new neuropathy patients will
be accepted before the end of the year

North metro public safety training facility expansion complete
By ALICIA MILLER
alicia.miller@apgecm.com
The wait is over after many
years in the making. The North
Metro Regional Public Safety
Training Facility expansion offi-
cial opening was capped off July
17 with a ribbon-cutting ceremo-
ny and tour for area delegates
and law enforcement personnel.
“It’s a great day for us in the
public safety world,” Maple
Grove Police Chief Eric Werner
said. He said the project was 6.5
years in the making from discus-
sions to completion.
The $17 million and nearly
30,000-square-foot expansion
project brings to the facility
more classroom space and state-
of-the-art training options. Offi-
cers will be able to use the space
to train in crisis intervention,
de-escalation and other scenar-
io-based trainings.
According to Maple Grove
Police Commander Jonathan
Wetternach, the space is used by
nearly 20 local, county, state, fed-
eral agencies and other institu-
tions. Some of those local agen-
cies include the Maple Grove,
Brooklyn Park and Plymouth
police departments and the Hen-
nepin County Sheriff’s Office.
All have the use of a 300-de-
gree virtual simulator and non-
lethal firearms training space.
“The expanded facility now
allows officers to experience
problem-solving in a controlled
stress setting and enhancing de-
cision-making tactics and capa-
bilities,” Wetternach said. “Re-
search shows that training which
immerses officers in real-life
situations is the most effective
for public safety professionals.
These types of trainings change
officers’ behaviors and attitudes
that lead to better outcomes on
the street.”
Werner said the project was
made possible by the partnership
between city councils, county
commissioners, and state repre-
sentatives and senators.
The city of Maple Grove se-
cured $3.5 million in state bond
funds. Ultimately, the $17 mil-
lion project was funded with a
combination of local, county,
and state funding.
“On behalf of my fellow chiefs
and the hundreds of law enforce-
ment officers from the local, state
and federal level, we thank you

Public Safety Training Facility in Maple Grove after its expansion. Pictured are Maple Grove Police Chief Eric Werner and

for recognizing the importance
of providing a place for them
to train in the necessary skills,
decision-making ability and tac-
tics with the latest equipment re-
quired to provide police services
in a 21st-century environment,”
Werner said to those that helped
make the project possible.
Maple Grove Mayor Mark
Steffenson said it was a great
occasion for the city and area.
“This is a great facility for all of
Hennepin County,” he added.
Hennepin County Sheriff
Dawanna Witt expressed that
the training facility was needed
for all the communities of Hen-
nepin County. “This new facility
is reflective of where we stand
on the issue of public safety, the
cornerstone of our community,”
she said. “This regional collabo-
ration shows how committed
each one of our city, county and
state leaders are towards the goal
of ensuring that our residents re-
ceive the highest level of services
from our public safety partners.”
She added that the facility will
also modernize training for law
enforcement.
“A special thank you to you,
Chief Werner,” Witt said. “We

know this was your baby. You
had the insight, the drive to
just keep pushing, pushing. We
thank you.”
Brooklyn Park Mayor Hol-
lies Winston said the facility will
bring together law enforcement
resources.

“Brooklyn Park has its unique
issues, but we are increasingly
learning the importance of
working together with partners
and regionally with people,” he
said. “This is a wonderful op-
portunity.”
Senator Warren Limmer (R-
sailor.mnsun.com
Maple Grove), Rep. Kristin
Bahner (DFL- Maple Grove),
and Rep. Kristin Robbins (R-
Maple Grove) authored bills in
support of bonding funds to
help pay for a portion of the ex-
pansion project.
Limmer said Werner is at the
State Capital working on behalf
of Maple Grove residents and
law enforcement across the state.
“When I look at a building like
this, I can’t help but think about
that first promise that govern-
ment makes to the people in the
state’s constitution,” Limmer
said. “The promise to create a
safe environment to keep citizens
safe. This building represents
that investment in that promise.”
Bahner said the facility was
about safety and making sure all
officers “have the tools and skills
they need to feel confident.”
Bahner added, “In the state
level, we have been doing a great
deal the last several years to
make incredible investments in
public safety to make sure we
have safe communities, thriving
communities, healthy communi-
ties.”
Robbins then took a moment
to directly address officers.
“I see how you all have each
other’s back and you have our
community’s back,” Robins
said. “And this is a small symbol
that we have your back and we
want to support you. We want to
give you every tool available to
do your jobs so you can safely
serve our communities. We are so
grateful for your dedication and
all you do for us every day.”
Hennepin County Commis-
sioner Kevin Anderson said he
remembered in 2019 that a bond-
ing tour of potential projects
stopped at the facility.
“It is so amazing to see how
many people have come together,
stepped forward, made it a prior-
ity to make sure that we are in-
vesting not just in the bricks and
mortars that make a state-of-the-
art facility like this become real-
ity, but making our communities
safer and more holistic place to
live in,” Anderson said.
Hennepin County Commis-
sioner Jeff Lunde said the in-
vestment in the facility will help
officers to continue to train.
“We are going to continue to
invest,” Lunde said of the board.
“This is just one way we are go-
ing to do it.

After-School Programs
For working parents, the
hours between when school
gets out and when work is
over are a challenge.
They have to arrange for
after-school programs for
their children that not only
keep them safe and cared
for, but are also mentally or
physically engaging.
A national survey re-
ported by U.S. News &
World Report showed that
65% of K-8 parents and
guardians have children
enrolled in after-school
activities, both to provide
care and also to expose
their children to new expe-
riences, ideas and perspec-
tives.
The magazine said it
was most important to let
children explore a range
of activities rather than
specialize in one at an
early age. The right mix
of after-school activi-
ties can improve grades,
boost school attendance
and regulate behavior, the
Afterschool Alliance says.
When children are exposed
to a diverse range of ages
and backgrounds, they
can also build better com-
munication and teamwork
skills, experts say.
“That kind of group
play is critical for social-
emotional development,”
Karen Pittman, cofounder
of the Forum for Youth In-
vestment told U.S. News &
World Report.
You can find after-
school activities in an ex-
tended day option at your
school, with organizations Alliance advises parents community, such as the school to see what they do
like the YMCA, Boys & to talk to the teachers or 4-H Council, Camp Fire or reach out to programs
Girls Clubs of America, administrators at their USA and the local parks at community centers, mu-

munity centers, and with to national organizations ment. You can also talk ies and youth employment

parents may also opt for
private lessons in music or
other subjects. A Learning
Heroes survey says parents
use an average of two pro-
grams to occupy their chil-
dren after school.
With all the options,
experts advise parents to
tread carefully. Afterschool
providers should have a
background in child devel-
opment and have enough
trained and experienced
staff on hand to deal with
children in a group setting.

Talking About Social Media

Nearly 90% of teens ages
13-17 have used social me-
dia, the American Acade-
my of Child & Adolescent
Psychiatry says.
Two-thirds of teens have
at least one social media
account and 51% visit a
social media site at least
daily. On average, teens are
online almost nine hours a
day, not including home-
work.
That’s a lot of screen
time. And a lot of influence
from online personalities
and friends. While social
media does allow teens to
stay connected and form
their own communities, it
can also expose them to
dangerous activities and
people, including cyber-
bullying and privacy risks.
“Teenagers need sup-
port and education to de-
velop the skills to manage
their social media use,” the
AACAP says. “It’s impor-
tant to talk with your child
about their social media
use and your family rules,
including consequences
for too much use or inap-
propriate use and whether
you will be monitoring
their online activities.”
You can consider such
rules as no-screen times,
such as at the dinner table
or until homework is done,
friending or following your
child’s social media ac-
counts with an agreement
about whether you will or
won’t post or respond to
their posts. You should
also ensure that privacy
settings are turned on to
limit access to personal
information and tell your
teens not to share full
names, addresses, tele-
phone numbers, social se-
curity numbers, passwords
or any other personal in-
formation. Their location
services should be set to off
and you should keep an eye
on what apps they’re using.
A Pew Research Center
survey found that teens 13-
17 reported that TikTok
was the top social media
app for that age group and
that 16% described their
use of the app as “almost
constantly.” Another one
in every five teens visit
or use YouTube almost
constantly and more than
half of teens say it would
be hard to give up social
media.

West Suburban Sacred Harp Singers welcome anyone

Next meeting
slated for Aug. 14
at Gethsemane
Lutheran Church
in Hopkins
By NATALIE CIERZAN
natalie.cierzan@apgecm.com
When it comes to participat-
ing in the one-of-a-kind Sacred
Harp singing genre, anyone is
welcome. Really.
With or without musical expe-
rience, choral experience or even
the ability to read sheet music,
anyone is encouraged to join in
the West Suburban Sacred Harp
Singers monthly get-togethers
to sing or listen. The new group,
which formed earlier this year,
can have a range of 12-20 sing-
ers at any one meeting. Anyone
is free to attend.
Singers may come from many
miles away or live nearby; sing-
ers may be religious or not; sing-
ers may connect outside of the
group or be as anonymous as
they want. There are few guide-
lines when it comes to Sacred
Harp singing.
“You don’t have to engage in
friendships or relationships out-
side the singing. You don’t. You
can just show up and sing. You
can also just show up and listen.
Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Hopkins.
However, I have met some really
wonderful people, people that
I’m so glad I met them through
singing because I’m not sure how
our paths would have otherwise
crossed. It’s really neat,” said
Shana Wenger, who has been
singing since 2018 and lives in
St. Paul.
Above all, the one commonali-
ty between everyone who attends
the singings is simple: a love for
the music.
“The power of the music just
drew me in,” said Luke Maas,
an Edina resident and ten-year-
long Sacred Harp singer.
Sacred Harp singing is a pas-
time steeped heavily in religious
tradition. The singing style,
which dates back to the start of
the 19th century, follows a modi-
fied Do-Re-Mi scale morphed
into a shape note method of
teaching singing. In order to
read the music, someone must
understand what the different
(SUN PHOTO BY NATALIE CIERZAN)
shapes mean each of the notes: fa
for a triangle, so for a circle, la for
a square and mi for a diamond.
“It’s easy. It has the disadvan-
tage of looking complex,” Maas
said.
When singers arrive, they ar-
range themselves to sit in a
square facing each other. Each
section of the square represents
one type of voice: tenor, alto,
bass and treble, which would be
referred to generally in music as
soprano. Each voice area is not
gendered and anyone is welcome
to sing in the section that best
suits their voice.
“There’s always somewhere
for your voice to fit. Always,”
Wenger said.
The two-hour-long singing
sessions focus on a wide variety
of songs never predetermined
before the singing. While the
songs are not conducted by any-
one, instead they are brought
forward by leaders that change
off. Singers arrive and can call
a song. If they do not want to
call a song, they can always ask
someone else to call the song for
them. Songs are also never sung
twice during a meeting.
“Many of the melodies are
from the early 1900s. Some of
the melodies are from the 1800s
and they have traveled on, dif-
ferent melodies that have been
picked up and used by a vari-
ety of musicians in a variety of
ways,” she said.
One of the best examples
of a melody originally created
for Sacred Harp singing is the
tune behind what many know
as “Amazing Grace.” Another
prime example of Sacred Harp
singing, which may be more fa-
miliar to people, are some of the
songs from the 2003 Civil War
era movie “Cold Mountain”
starring Nicole Kidman, Renée
Zellweger and Jude Law.
Getting involved
An important element of Sa-
cred Harp singing is participa-
tion, not perfection or perfor-
mance. Wenger was adamant
that the singing they do is neither
performance-based or featuring
an audience. She described the
meetings as a group of people
coming together to sing Sacred
Harp music, unrehearsed and
unplanned, and with a certain
freedom for the participants to
sing however, they want to ac-
cording to the shape-note scale.
That’s what she gets out of
each session: freedom.
“I also had that experience of
growing up and sometimes be-
ing in choirs where I thought
of myself as the instrument of
the director. They’re orchestrat-
ing this, right? They’re saying,
‘This is how the song goes. This
is the sound,’” she said. “In other
words, I’m just there to do what
they’re asking of me. But I hadn’t
just sung for my own enjoyment
or my own way. I hadn’t just been
like, ‘Gosh, I wonder what my
voice would sound like if I really
just let it rip’ instead of being
directed.”
Sacred Harp singing for
Wenger is truly a stress-relieving
experience and a unique experi-
ence every time.
“It’s unrepeatable. Any time
you sing one song, it’s never ever
going to be sung that same way
again. There’s that beauty of
that, of those moments of just
giving yourself over to that and
being okay with that,” she said.
The next singing for the West
Suburban Sacred Harp Singers is
slated for Aug. 14 at Gethsemane
Lutheran Church in Hopkins.

session, it doesn’t give us
the opportunity to have
discussion. And because
we have new board direc-
tors on board, it’s impor-
tant that we have those op-
portunities.”
Bassett also suggested
writing down these ques-
tions on July 14 to ask the
administration in future, as
it was not at the meeting.
Later, Kim Holmes
asked questions about how
the school board might
limit spending on person-
nel. Can the board rescind
job offers? Can the Board
freeze hiring or put a cap
on new salaries?
“I still wanna know,”
Long said about an hour
into the meeting. “Are we
making a directive now?
Like what’s gonna hap-
pen? ... What are we doing
to make sure that–”
“I got to interrupt on
a point of order on this,”
Vento said. “This is a sub-
ject that was discussed in
closed session, that we are
now discussing in public.”
Vento was referring to a
June 26 meeting in which
the board evaluated the
superintendent. But many
board members seemed
to disagree that Long was
talking about this evalu-
ation. Several directors
spoke at once before Long
defended herself.
The directors of the Robbinsdale Area Schools Board meet in July.
Clockwise beginning in the lower left-hand corner are Directors Re-
Nae Bowman, Kim Holmes, Caroline Long, Sharon E. Brooks, Greta
Evans-Becker, Helen Bassett, and John Vento.
“No we’re not, I’m talk-
ing about a new position,”
Long said. “I’m staying on
topic. Why are you trying
to shut me down and be
divisive?”
The legal counsel pres-
ent on July 14 could not
offer clarity at that time of
the meeting, as they had
not attended the superin-
tendent evaluation.
Board policy update
The Board met again on
July 24, where they con-
sidered a policy update
concerning board practice.
The agenda item was “1.C.
Policy 206: Public Par-
ticipation in School Board
Meetings, Complaints
about Persons at School
Board Meetings and Data
Privacy Considerations.”
The policy includes an
item which states “person-

One of the “what ifs” for the Wayzata American Legion baseball team is the status of key players Jake Berkland (left) and John Skoro for
the 2024 season. If they decide to return, Wayzata moves to the head of the line as a state-title favorite. Berkland is preparing for his first
season of baseball at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and Skoro is going to pitch for North Iowa Community College.
2023 is one of the best years ever
for Wayzata Legion baseball team
Fourth in the
State Divsion I
tournament is a
great finish
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
Wayzata’s American
Legion baseball program
dates back to 1935, and
2023 turned out to be
one of the best year’s ever
with a fourth-place finish
in the State Division I
Tournament in Roches-
ter.
Head coach Marshall
Dalziel had the benefit
of an experienced team
this summer. He also
had a team that he said,
“Bought into it from the
beginning.”
The Wizards played 41
games this season with a
22-19 overall record.
Some teams in the
state tourney may have
had better records, but
Dalziel said Wayzata’s
schedule was one of the
state’s toughest, as the
Wizards played in the
Gopher Classic and the
Delano Stars & Stripes
Invitational locally, plus
out-of-state tournaments
Plymouth / Wayzata Sun Sailor
in Fargo, N.D. and Oma-
ha, Neb.
“We still have some
work to do to get to the
top of the hill,” Dalziel
said one week after the
state tourney. “Fifteen of
our 16 players are eligible
to come back next season.
We probably won’t get all
of them, but if we can get
most of them back we’ll
be in a good spot.
“Several club guys have
reached out to us since
the season ended. I know
that are underclassmen
are hungry to get back in
it next year.”
The wild card right
now is the status of four
seniors on this year’s
club, who still have Le-
gion eligibility left after
their freshman year in
college - Jake Berkland,
Zach Pettit, Jonathan
Pribula and John Skoro.
If all of them decide
to play Legion again, the
Wizards could be the fa-
vorite to win it all.
The four highest fin-
ishes in Wayzata Legion
history have come since
2016, the year the Wiz-
ards won the only state
title in program history
with coach Adam “Ga-
tor” Goethke, who is now
the manager of the Min-
netonka Millers amateur
team.
The Wizards were third
at state in 2017 and sec-
ond in 2018.
State champion St. Mi-
chael and state runner-up
Eden Prairie are repre-
sented Minnesota at the
Central Plains Regional
in Rapid City, S.D. last
week.
It could just as easily
have been Wayzata.
“In our one-run loss
to St. Michael at state,
we were the better team
until the bottom of the
seventh,” Dalziel said.
“Their bats got hot for
three outs and they
scored two runs to win
it. They hit two balls just
out of our reach. A cou-
ple feet over on either of
those balls, and we prob-
ably would have won the
game. It was a super emo-
tional night for me.”
Commenting on the
season as a whole, Dalziel
said, “Our guys worked
their tails off all summer.
We definitely had the cul-
ture in the right spot with
our leaders - Jake Berk-
land, Jonathan Pribula
and John Skoro.
“Jake did everything
we asked him to do,
Jonathan was our field
general behind the plate
and John was the guy
who could go out there
and give us seven tough

(SUN PHOTO BY JOHN SHERMAN)
innings in any big game.
Those three really helped
us. The younger kids can
look at them and see how
they led the team.”
Seven players on the
Wizards’ roster had at
least 100 plate appear-
ances this summer, while
the top three starting
pitchers got plenty of
work over the span of
nine weeks.
Matthew Welk and
Gaard Swenson each
pitched more than 50 in-
nings and Skoro came in
at 46 innings.
“What we’re trying to
do in the Legion pro-
gram is build a commu-
nity program,” coach
Dalziel said. “Eventu-
ally, we want to become
a dynasty and play in the
Sunday games at state.
I can’t thank our kids
and my assistant coaches
enough for this season.”
Wayzata’s players are:
Berkland, Pettit, Prib-
ula, Skoro, Swenson,
Welk, Samson Ask, Kyle
Boutwell, Adam Dehm,
Adam Deselich, Charles
Gearen, Tyler Gullick-
son, Mason Pittman,
Fysher Rowan, Charlie
Seel and Dylan Smith.
Assistant coaches are
Blake Ask, John Dal-
ziel, Brett Danielson and
Alan McCaulley.

Jeanne and Justine
Hawkinson os Chisago
Lakes and Dellwood Coun-

it in the family by winning
the Minnesota Golf As-

The Hawkinsons had
rounds of 84 and 75 for a
total of 159. Second place
went to Sheryl Raithel and
Christina Payton of Keller

Three teams tied for

One of the premier pri-

two qualifiers emerged in a

John Husband, a native

ors. Second place and the
other qualifying spot went
to Tim Peterson, the 2021
Minnesota Golf Associa-
tion Senior Men’s Player of
the Year. He battled his way
to the U.S. Senior berth by
winning a one-hole playoff
with Terry Cook.
Peterson described play-
off hole: “I hit probably
the worst drive I hit all day.
I had to pick it out of the
driving range and laid up in
the fairway. I hit to about
15 feet away, then made the
putt.”
The U.S. Senior Ama-
teur Tournament is set for
Aug. 26-31 at Martis Camp

Legion baseball provides exposure for players
Third-annual
prospects event
is held at two
area locations
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
American Legion base-
ball players from all cor-
nets of the state gathered
in Roseville and Eagan last
weekend to compete in the
third-annual Prospects
All-Star Series.
The event provided com-
petition as well as college
exposure for 128 Minne-
sota Legion players. State
Legion Baseball Director
Randy Schaub traveled to
the Twin Cities to support
the event, which offered
round-robin games at the
University of Northwest-
ern in Roseville and Goat
Hill Field at Eagan High
School.
Mike Perry, the past
state Legion baseball di-
rector and a member of
Legion Post 320 in Hop-
kins, said the format was
expanded from four teams
to eight this year, with the
junior prospects playing in
Roseville and the younger
prospects competing in

Tim Flemming
disappointed
in forfeit loss

In almost 50 seasons
with the Hamel amateur
baseball team, Tim Flem-
ming had never experi-
enced anything like last
weekend.
The Hawks were sched-
uled to travel to Moorhead
to face the Brewers in a dis-
trict playoff game, but the
contest had to be canceled
because the Hawks could
not field a team.
It was something akin
to scenes from the movie
“Four Weddings and a
Funeral..” In this case the
script would have been ti-
tled “Two Weddings, Vaca-
tions and a Forfeit.”
“We couldn’t drive [300

Legion Prospects All-Star Series Aug. 6 at the University of Northwestern in Roseville. He started at
catcher for the White All-Stars team.
“This gives more players
a chance to compete and
gain college exposure,”
said Bruce Barron, one of
the founders of the Pros-
pects All-Star Series along
with Perry, Charlie Becker
and Omar Navarro.
Players at both sites were
divided into four teams
that each was scheduled
to play three games - two
miles] up there with only
six or seven players,” Flem-
ming said after the game
was called off. “This is the
first time in Hamel history
that we couldn’t field a
team and my worst experi-
ence in town ball.”
During the months of
May, June, July and Au-
gust, Flemming spends
hours and hours of time
with the Hawks. He started
in the program years ago as
an 8-year-old batboy, then
played on state champion-
ship Hamel teams in 1987
and 1997. For many years,
he has been the manager
and field general.
“It is a sad time for me,”
he said. “Something like
this is a wake-up call. We
have to make some chang-
es for next year and make
sure we have guys who are
available to play in August.
The problem [of having
enough players] is not just
a Hamel Hawks’ problem.
Two teams forfeited to

Sunday.
Some of the west sub-

competing in the junior
division of the series were

rison Boughton of Arm-
strong and the Eden Prairie
us this year because they
didn’t have enough guys
for the games. I tried and
tried for this weekend, but
we just couldn’t come up
with nine.”
Due to inconsistent at-
tendance, injuries and the
like, the Hawks struggled
to an 8-17 record this sea-
son.
“We lost five games by
one run,” Flemming not-
ed. “Two of them to the
Moorhead Mudcats, one
to Cold Spring in district
games.”
As much as he wishes the
season could have gone bet-
ter, Flemming was pleased
with his core group of 6-8
players, who made it to 80
to 90 percent of the games.
That group is led by

Boughton was impres-
sive defensively as the
White team’s catcher in
the first game of the tour-
nament.

“Brayden was hurt this

“We were lucky to have our
young catcher from Arm-

Saturday and made it to
Roseville before 10 a.m.
Director Charlie Becker,
who is from Eden Prai-
rie, said, “They made the
commitment, and I knew
they’d be here.”
Once the games began, it
was a fun time for everyone
involved. The players com-
peted hard, scouts watched
and fans packed the stands.
“It was a long trip back
from South Dakota,” Eden
Prairie catcher Miller said.
“But I am happy to be here.
I’ll be myself and make
some new friends.”
Miller played on the Blue
team and went against his
Legion teammate, Thomp-
son, who started at short-
stop for the Gold team.
In a previous game,
Edina Legion teammates
Simonson and McCoy
were on opposite sides with
Simonson on the White
team and McCoy on the
Red team. McCoy and his
teammates won that game
6-5.
“This is fun,” Simonson
said after the game. “Meet-
ing new teammates, play-
ing in a nice complex here
at Northwestern. I didn’t
get a hit this game, but I
was able to make a couple
plays in the field. We have a
lot of fans here, and they’re
cheering loud. I was com-
peting against Jack this
game, but hoped that he

Caleb Yowell also did
some catching for the
Hawks and did a credible
job.
On the pitching staff,
lefty Zach Olson had some
good outings and Dominic

would play well.”
On McCoy’s side of the
field, he was on the Red
team with one of his Le-
gion rivals, Elijah Stewart
from Hopkins.
“I like everything about
the Prospects Series,”
Stewart said. “This is a
great environment for
baseball. I have been play-
ing baseball against Jack’s
Edina team since we were
10 years old, and now he’s
my teammate.”
There was one surprise
for Stewart in Saturday
morning’s game. He was
given the starting assign-
ment at first base. And he
just happened to have his
blue-colored trapper mitt
in his equipment bag.
“This is the first time in
a year and a half that I’ve
been able to play first,” he
said. “Thankfully, I re-
membered how.”
Hopkins fans have be-
come accustomed to see-
ing Stewart in the out-
field, where his five-tool
skills are apparent in every
game. He batted .468 in
the American Legion Sub-
State 4 playoffs and was
just about the .450 mark
for the season. His throw-
ing arm from the outfield is
a cannon.

Flemming worked well as a
close with his knuckleball.
Some of the other Hawks
who contributed in the
team’s victories this sum-
mer are Austin Hageman,
Michael Jacobs, Andrew
Leonhardt, Alec Pipen-
hagen, Nate Shoemaker,
Jackson Sundt, Cal Thor-
son and Dylan Wilson.
“As we speak, they are
starting to put the new
grandstand up at Paul For-
tin Field,” Flemming said.
Efforts to modernize the
Hamel park might make
it possible for the team to
host state tournaments at
some point in the future.
Flemming said the grand-
stand will seat 360 fans and
also that a new press box
is included in the improve-
ments.
Moving forward, Flem-
ming is looking forward to
recruiting players who will
make a full commitment to
Hawks baseball. He can be

Millers take aim on state Class B title
Move to new
division does
nothing to
change goal
By JOHN SHERMAN
john.sherman@apgecm.com
There is a big change in
Minnesota Amateur Base-
ball this summer with the
merger of Classes A and B
for the state playoffs.
No team is affected more
than the Minnetonka Mill-
ers, who have 15 state Class
A championships on a very
impressive resume. This
year, the Millers’ affiliation
has changed, but the goal
remains the same - winning
a state title.
Minnetonka took a step
in that direction last week
by sweeping a best-two-of-
three playoff series from the
Northwest Orioles, whose
home base is Osseo. The se-
ries sweep gave Minneton-
ka a 28-7 season record as
of Aug. 5. In home games at
Veterans Field, the Millers
stand 22-3.
The first game of the se-
ries, played Aug. 1 at Min-
netonka’s Veterans Field,
was competitive until the
bottom of the fifth inning
when Joe Shallenberger’s
440-foot, two-run home run
knocked the Orioles off of
their perch. The baseball
passed the 390-foot marker
on the fence in left-center
field and kept carrying to
the Legacy Softball Fields
on the other side of the
parking lot.
Shallenberger may have
hit several longer home
runs in his career, but he

Meadows, Miller and
Thompson each played a
big role in the Eagles’ sec-
ond-place finish in the State
Division I Legion Tourna-
ment. Meadows pitched
and also got some base
hits. Miller caught almost
every inning and supplied
a solid bat in the middle of
the order. Thompson hit in
the lead-off spot and was
among EP’s leaders in hits
and on-base percentage.
Simonson and McCoy
led Edina Legion in hitting
and were big RBI men for
head coach Gene Larkin,
as the Hornets made it to
had seldom hit a ball that
hard or that far with a wood
bat.
After the game, the Mill-
ers’ all-time home run leader
talked about the game with
teammates Jack Hanson
and Ethan Roe, who also hit
home runs, on either side.
“If I swing hard enough
often enough, I’ll eventu-
ally hit one like that,” Shal-
lenberger said. In Miller-
speak, he found the barrel.
Hanson’s home run in
the second inning was hit
to dead center field. It was
an easy one to measure (405
feet) because it smacked
into the batter’s eye well
above a 375-foot marker on
the fence.
Right after Hanson’s
home run, Nick Thimsen
hit a double off of the right-
field wall, and then Roe
pulled a 375-foot home run
to left field. That made it a
three-run inning.
With Minnetonka in
front 6-0 in the top of the
seventh, Osseo scored its
lone run on a Minnetonka
error.
In the second game of the
Minnetonka-Orioles play-
off series Aug. 3 at Osseo
High, the Millers prevailed
7-3. Ben Hughes pitched the
first six innings and was fol-
lowed to the hill by Garrett
Synstelien and Jake Marsh.
Shallenberger hit another
long home run, his third in
the last four games. “He hit
the ball out of the park and
onto Highway 81,” Min-
netonka manager Adam
“Gator” Goethke said.
“When people think of the
Millers, the first player they
think of is Joe Shallenberg-
er.”
With Minnetonka win-
ning its Riverview playoff
the finals of Sub-State 3
before losing 1-0 to state-
bound Eden Prairie.
The Prospects Series
included not only some
of the state’s best players,
but also some well-known
coaches. Heading the Red
team was Southwest Chris-
tian High coach Rob Was-
senaar, the winning pitcher
for Edina in the 1983 Le-
gion World Series title
game. Todd Jahnke, the
former Hopkins Legion
coach and now coaching
for USA Baseball, headed
the White team. Osseo Le-
gion coach Ben Johnson,
who is also head coach at
Dakota Wesleyan Univer-
sity, was in charge of the
Blue squad.

series, the other two series
featured St. Louis Park vs.
Hopkins and Hit Dawg
Academy vs. the Mac-
Strength Grizzlies. The se-
ries winners will advance to
state along with one wild-
card team.
While Shallenberger, who
is nicknamed “Mr. August”
for his late-season heroics
in past playoff games and
state tournaments, is still
the heart and soul of the
team, younger players like
Hanson, Roe and Thim-
sen are coming on strong.
Hanson hit 15 homers last
season and might have been
the most consistent hitter in
the state playoffs.
“It’s fun playing with
the older guys on the team
- (Shallenberger, Blaine
Rutledge, Mike Davis and
Steve Schmitz),” Hanson
said. “Those guys set the
standard.”
Assistant coach Mike
Berset, who once hit .505
in a season for the Millers,
said, in praise of Shallen-
berger, “Joe is a great hit-
ter and always will be. You
don’t need to say anything
more.”
Roe, who played NCAA
Division I college baseball
for East Tennessee State
this spring, is thriving in his
first season with the Millers.
He played high school base-
ball for The Blake School
and summer ball for the
Hopkins Flyers American
Legion team.
A fine student of the
game, Roe described his
home run against an Oriole
junk-ball pitcher this way:
“He tried to sneak a fastball
past me and I hit it pretty
well.”
Roe had the pleasure of
catching for three Miller
