Stories, or silence, at Vietnam veterans dinner

Welcome Home dinner, ceremony held March 30 in Crystal
BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
In the basement of the Crystal VFW, some West Metro
veterans of the Vietnam war
were happy to share stories
about their service in the late
60s or early 70s. Others
werent.
I dont ever talk about it,
said Jerry Thomas, a Crystal resident and Navy veteran who drove a TD-24 in
Vietnam in 1965 and 1966.
Thomas, a native of Driscoll,

North Dakota, said he enlisted to get out of that small
town and that hes only talked
about the war with Jim Richter, the posts quartermaster
and a fellow Vietnam vet, and
then only after a few drinks in
a cabin up north.
I can talk to people thatve
been there, Richter said. We
can do that. But if you aint
been there ... .
I didnt know he was in
Vietnam until we were mar-
ried 25 years, said Julie

Thomas, Jerrys wife. Some
of his brothers and sisters
didnt know.
The March 30 event was
designed to give Vietnam soldiers an opportunity to talk
about their shared experiences - Its a place for veterans to heal, Thomas said of
the VFW - and provide the
warm welcome home they
didnt receive when they came
back from their tours of duty
roughly 50 years ago. Many
recalled being shouted at, spit

on, and otherwise mistreated
when they returned, one by
one, sometimes on commercial
airline flights, from the jungle.
They took it out on the
warrior that came home, said
Greenfield resident and former
staff sergeant Randy Eberling.
Our generation did nothing
different than any other generation. World War II, Korea.
We did nothing different than
they did, but we werent welcomed home.
... World War II, they came
home by troop ship. It took
them three months to get
home, and they came home as

units, whole large units together. They had time to debrief,
time to talk it out. In Vietnam,
you came home as an individual. ... Your time was up, they
sent you home.
Eberlings bastard cavalry
unit was responsible for patrolling the demilitarized zone
between North and South
Vietnam. He took a bullet
to the stomach, just above
his right hip, in August, 1971
when they were flown in to assist another unit.

Crystal business

The plush toys can be a comfort
for children after a crisis
BY JOE BOWEN

A Crystal business donated dozens of stuffed
penguins, giraffes and
snakes - oh my! - to the
Robbinsdale Police Department March 29.
Intended to be given to
children during or after
often-traumatic
events
like medical emergencies
or house fires, the animals
can often soothe those
kids and help them regain
a sense of control, police
said.
They dont necessarily
know who we are, said
Police Chief Jim Franzen.
Theres a lot of strange
things happening, and
so if you can give a kid a
stuffed animal, its kind
of a universal language.
A stuffed animal is never a stranger to a child.
Once you give them that
animal to hold, now they
feel theyre in control of
something and they have
something thats theirs.
Kids can be separated
from their parents or
guardians for a number

of reasons, police told reporters as they held some

of the animals.
We might have to go
in or (Child Protective
Services) might have to
go in and remove a child
from a situation thats not
good, Franzen said. Or
it could just be that, perhaps, there was a medical situation. The parent
had to go to the hospital
in the ambulance and we
didnt have anywhere else
to take the child.
Were not always going
into homes where people
are in crisis or not getting along, said Officer
Annie Faue as she held
a stuffed monkey. Often
times we go into homes
when maybe grandma is
sick or somebodys had a
seizure and for a little kid
to see something like that,
sometimes its just really
shocking to their system.
Franzen added that
police will also let kids

Robbinsdale ofcer tore Achilles after

suspect bolted from trafc stop
Gunshot-like sound heard, prompting large police response
BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
A Robbinsdale police
officer was briefly hospitalized and one person is
in custody after the officer tore his Achilles tendon during a traffic stop
near the intersection of
48th and Welcome avenues in Crystal.
Officer Tony Heifort
pulled over a car shortly
after 11 p.m. on March
31, and police say the

driver of the car immediately exited the vehicle
and did not comply with
the officers demands to
re-enter it.
He was out of his car
before the officer could
get out of his, said Police Chief Jim Franzen. A
short argument ensued,
and the driver started
walking away from the
scene despite Heiforts
instructions to remain
there, Franzen said.

In a rapid-fire series of
events, the exact order of
which police said is unclear: the driver bolted
from the scene, Heifort
heard a sound that could
have been a gunshot, tore
his Achilles tendon, collapsed near his squad car
and called for assistance.
He didnt even get
more than a step, Franzen said of Heifort, who
was taken to North Me-
morial Hospital after the

incident and was released
three to four hours later.
It all kind of happened
at once.
The call for assistance
triggered a large police
and K-9 response, causing a flurry of speculation and concern on social media.
Heifort is scheduled to
have surgery on the torn

Property tax change could be big

deal for some disabled veterans
Legislation would let vets use tax exclusion
earlier, and take it with them to a new home
BY JOE BOWEN
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
A bill that would provide
quicker and more mobile
tax reimbursements for disabled veterans took a step
forward in the Minnesota
House of Representatives
March 28.
Minnesota offers property tax exclusions to disabled veterans, and House
File 3118 provides that,
when a veteran qualifies for
a property tax exclusion, it
will be available immediately instead of when the
next tax year begins. The
change would mean qualifying vets wouldnt have to
wait to save that property
tax money - which can total thousands of dollars
if they happen to miss the
states cutoff date.
Trent Dilks, legislative
chair of Disabled American Veterans of Minnesota, said the potential
wait for an exclusion isnt
particularly common, but
it can make a big difference
for those it does affect.
This may not be the
largest deal to make this
exemption, but for the vets
we see who are affected by
this, it will be an improvement and make a significant contribution to their
quality of life, he said.
Dilks said the issue
mainly arises for veterans
who are recently set up
with services through his
organization, like a Vietnam veteran who is diagnosed with terminal cancer
that was presumptive to
exposure to Agent Orange.
If I get him service-connected in August, he cant
use the benefit for another
year, Dilks said. But he
might not last another
year. ... The VA moves
very quickly for terminally
ill veterans, but theyve
missed the July 1 filing
deadline.
The bill also allows disabled vets to take the exemption with them, so to
speak, if they move into a
new house. Currently, the
state applies the exemption
to the property itself, rather
than the residents within
it, meaning that a veteran
who moves would have to
wait to file for another one
at their new home while the
occupants of the vets old
home would be able to take
advantage of the exclusion
for the remainder of the
year.
A veteran deemed by the
Veterans Association to
be 70 percent disabled
- meaning they have difficulty working, maintaining relationships, and so on
- and living in a $150,000
home would pay no property taxes under the exemption, Dilks explained.
Veterans who are disabled and their families
have sacrificed too much to
be caught up in red tape,
said Rep. Mike Freiberg
(DFL-Golden Valley), who
authored the bill in the
house. As a state, weve decided that disabled veterans
should be awarded this tax
benefit. Theyve served our
country. It doesnt make
sense for them to have to
not get it just because they
move in the middle of the
year.
Freibergs staff
announced March 30 that the
bill had been approved by
the houses Veterans Affairs Division and has been
passed on to the House
Committee on Taxes.
Rep. Bob Dettmer (RForest Lake) chairs the
veterans affairs committee,
which he described as the
most nonpartisan in the
capital.
This will make a
smooth transition when
somebody moves into a dif-
ferent home, Dettmer said

of the legislation. Dettmer
himself served 25 years in
the Army Reserve and was
deployed overseas for 20
months during operations
Enduring Freedom and
Iraqi Freedom, he said,
adding that several generations of his family are
current or retired service
members.
Other authors of the bill
include Rep. Lyndon Carlson (DFL-Crystal), Rep.
Jerry Newton (DFL-Coon
Rapids), and Rep. Jeff
Hower (R-Rockville).
Freiberg said hes not entirely sure how the bill will
make it through this years
legislature, but that a logical place for it is an omnibus tax bill, assuming one
is drafted.
Id ideally like to see it
move on its own, but that
doesnt seem to happen
much anymore, Freiberg
said.
The issue was brought
to legislators attention by
Maj. Toni Muckala, a disabled veteran who spent
more than 20 years in the
military and served as a
combat surgeon. Muckala
moved from Plymouth to
a new home near the New
Hope/Golden Valley border and was no longer able
to claim the exemption for
that year. Muckala said
the new resident of her old
home still got the exclusion
and rented out the home.
I was pretty pissed off,
Muckala said. It wasnt
that I couldnt afford it, but
it was so blatant that youre
giving this person $3,000.
At least collect it and give
it to wounded warriors or
something.
Dilks said there are
about 19,000 disabled veterans living in Minnesota.

bowen@ecm-inc.com
The bill
Below is a summary
of the bill written by
the houses research department:
H.F. 3118 provides
that when a disabled
veteran qualifies for the
disabled veterans market value exclusion, the
exclusion will become
effective immediately,
i.e. for the remainder of
the current taxes payable year.
The county will be
required to issue an
abatement of taxes payable for the remainder
of the year based on
the recomputed tax
amount, with a refund
issued to the taxpayer if
taxes have already been
paid. The commissioner of revenue is required to reimburse local taxing jurisdictions
for abatements granted
under this subdivision.
H.F. 3118 also requires the assessor to
remove the disabled
veterans exclusion for
taxes payable in the following year if the qualifying veteran transfers
the property prior to
July 1 of the year before the taxes are payable. Under current law,
the benefit may carry
over for one more year
following the year in
which the property is
transferred.

Drinking water reaches a crossroads in Minnesota

Water is gold, and it is getting
more valuable, says Gina McCarthy, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency director.
Her words convey the growing public health focus on ensuring an adequate supply of
safe drinking water, threatened
to varying degrees around the
country by agricultural contamination, overuse of groundwater
and underinvestment in aging
distribution systems.
Add grievous human error
and you have Flint, Michigan,
where an austerity measure imposed on a bankrupt community robbed its refashioned water
system of a key anti-corrosion
treatment. Flint was left with
an outbreak of Legionnaires
disease and untold worry over a
generation of youngsters whose
consumption of unsafe amounts
of water-borne lead leaves them
at heightened risk of neurological disorders.
In Minnesota, Gov. Mark
Dayton promises to give the
quality of our lakes, rivers,
streams and drinking water his
utmost attention during his last
three years in office. He has
asked for approval this year of
$220 million in new water investments.
Amid all this attention, citizens and lawmakers want to
Our viewpoint
know: Where do we stand? Is the
water safe to drink?
Largely, yes, the Minnesota
Health Department says in its
latest annual drinking water report. The department, which
regulates municipal water systems, is charged with federal
Safe Drinking Water Act compliance.
Minnesota has an excellent
record in terms of water quality
violations, Dr. Deborah Swackhamer told the ECM Editorial
Board.
Swackhamer is a retired professor of science, technology
and public policy at the Hubert
H. Humphrey School of Public
Affairs and is on the staff of the
University of Minnesotas Water
Resources Center.
Where safety is threatened,
nitrates generated by agriculture
are an increasingly prevalent but
hardly new cause. Since 2008,
the number of Minnesotans
served by public water systems
required by Safe Drinking Water Act standards to treat for nitrates has grown from 15,000 to
50,000, according to the Health
Departments May 2015 water
report.
Last year residents of Randall

in Morrison County learned that
one of their town wells had to be
shut down because it was fouled
by nitrates exceeding 10 parts
per million, the federal drinking water standard. And about
105 non-community water
systems in Minnesota those
serving some schools, resorts or
other businesses exceeded the
standard in 2014.
The Clean Water Fund created by the Legacy Amendment
sales tax that Minnesota voters
approved in 2008 is a needed
boost for local cleanup efforts.
The Health Department aims to
use a portion dedicated to water
projects to help 505 vulnerable
community water systems
more than half of Minnesotas
963 such systems make waterprotection plans by 2020.
Passage of Daytons funding
request is also needed to increase
communities access to low-cost
loans that make such projects
affordable. But even with Legacy funds and Daytons budget
boost, the work will have just
begun.
Minnesotas Clean Water
Roadmap, a Legacy project,
calls for a 20 percent long-term
reduction in the states groundwater nitrate levels.
With up to 20 million acres of
land in row crop production, its

no secret that unregulated application of nitrous fertilizer, especially for King Corn, is the chief
source of nitrates.
The livelihood of Minnesota,
one of its livelihoods, is growing
corn, and yet its also one of the
major polluters of drinking water and our other water, Swackhamer said.
Her idea to use Legacy funds
to pay farm set-asides and help
farmers cultivate markets for
new crops deserves consideration in future years. Taking
only 5 percent of the most erodible farmland out of row-crop
production would greatly curtail
pollutants, Swackhamer said.
Meanwhile, the public pipes
that deliver water to our homes
are in many cities aging beyond
their useful, and healthful, lives.
Thats also true in many homes.
Flint isnt the only community
with old lead pipes. Some 6.1
million remain nationwide, according to the American Water
Works Association. And while
most of the risk of excess lead
in tap water can be managed
through corrosion control at the
treatment plant, the AWWA declared in March that the safest
course is eventually removing
the pipes at a cost of more than
$30 billion.
In Minnesota the biggest costs

await the system rebuilds and
retrofits that will be needed to
guarantee generations of safe
water supply.
Only in the last decade or so
have observers fully grasped
the unsustainable rate at which
aquifers are being depleted compared with their much slower recharge rates, Swackhamer said,
pointing to the Jordan-Prairie
Du Chien aquifer complex,
which supplies about 75 percent
of the metro regions groundwater.
Her future gaze is on the
mighty Mississippi, which already supplies water users in St.
Paul and Minneapolis.
In terms of the quantity issue, its a question of just getting
people to go back to using surface water, she said. Its more
expensive. But its a sustainable
choice. The other option is to,
five generations from now, not
have enough water, period.
billion has been sent from our

communities to the state to pay
for this extra property tax. The
average business in Minnesota
pays more to the state of Minnesota in property taxes than it
pays separately to any of our
local governments schools,
townships, cities or counties.
And the statewide property
tax is on auto-pilot, going up
by the rate of inflation every
year, without any vote or intervention by the Legislature.
Soon, this tax will take $1 billion every year out of our local
economies.
Lets use a portion of the
states projected budget surplus to reduce Minnesotas extra property tax and eliminate
the automatic inflator. I think
we can all agree that money is
better spent by Minnesotas job
creators to invest in their employees and their businesses.

Old folks need

heroes, too
Where have all the heroes gone?
Its hard to tell who the real
heroes are today. I thought John
McCain was one. (Still do.) But
Donald Trump told me McCain
wasnt a real hero. Maybe Donald
Trump is a hero. I wonder how he
would hold up enduring a few
years in a prisoner-of-war camp?
We cant depend on athletes to
be heroes any more, either (if we
ever could). Weve been disappointed too many times by drug
use, gambling and domestic violence scandals. Also, accusations
of sexual abuse have made the
clergy suspect as heroes. Likewise, coaches. And apparently,
network TV anchors dont make
lasting heroes. Neither do university athletic directors. Its just
hard to find a bonafide, old-fashioned hero these days.
The scarcity of heroes is scary
because we all need heroes as role
models to inform, instruct and
inspire us to live better and be
better. I think Bernard Malamud
was right when he said, Without
heroes were all plain people and
dont know how far we can go.
Young people need heroes to
teach them how to live their values, inspire them to be their best
selves and model for them living
the worthy life.
And, yes, older folks need heroes, too. We need them to show
us how to be brave, finish strong
and keep doing the next right
thing until the end. We need heroes to encourage us to be truthtellers and teach us how to live
with grace, die with dignity and
leave a lasting legacy.
My dictionary defines a hero
as, A person noted for courage
and nobility of purpose. Obviously, we need people like that,
but where are they? Well, it took
me 80 years, but I finally figured
it out.
The truest heroes are those

closest to home. As it turns

out, real heroes are everywhere.
Theyre all around us. I know
some of them. So do you. You
may be one yourself. Sometimes
we are a hero to someone else and
dont even know it.
The authentic heroes are everyday people who live fully and
honestly, are true to their values
and do whats right even when its
unpopular and uncomfortable.
They take lifes blows and keep
on keepin on without complaining or bragging about it. They
help others, give back and leave
things better than they found
them. Lives dont get much better
than that.
At the top of my list of heroes
are wounded veterans, single
moms, Special Olympians, caregivers and anyone over 90. I include the elders of our tribe because age is a triumph. Even if
longevity is mostly the result of
good genes, good health care and
good luck, it still takes courage
and purpose to get up every day,
despite accumulated pain and
loss, and keep doing your best
with good humor. People who refuse to give up, give in or give out
are real heroes in my eyes.
So who are your heroes? If you
dont have one, get one. Better
yet, be one! We never have too
many heroes.

Reduce property taxes
paid by businesses with
states budget surplus
To the editor:
Minnesota businesses, like
homeowners, pay property taxes to their local governments.
These local property taxes pay
for schools, snow removal, local
street repairs and other essential services. However, unlike
homeowners, businesses pay an
extra tax that goes straight into
the states general fund.
Since 2002, more than $10

Fewer serious crimes in

Crystal, police report
for service, meaning the
number of times police
were alerted to a crime
or potential crime, was
31,077, which is lower
than the number of calls
in 2014, but roughly in
line with the number
since 2010, according to
the departments annual
report. The department
issued 5,798 citations
last year, compared to
6,230 in 2014 and 6,626
in 2013.
Referenced repeatedly
throughout
Reverings
report to the council was
a single homicide in 2015:
the death of 10-year-old
Barway Collins. Collins
disappeared in March of
2015, and his body was
recovered from the Mis-
sissippi River more than

three weeks later.
Police had zeroed in
on Collins father, Pierre
Collins, and the man was
charged with murder a
day after his sons body
was pulled from the river.
The elder Collins later
confessed to the killing
and was found guilty of
second-degree murder in
what Hennepin County
Attorney Mike Freeman
described as a good
circumstantial evidence
case, and Revering and
several other department
members were commended for their work
during the investigation.

Brooklyn Park foundation launches fund drive

for food truck, human trafcking awareness
Ultimate goal for Brooklyn Park-based
group is community caf, learning place
BY GRETCHEN SCHLOSSER
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Everyone has a story, and
anyone can help others to
change their story, even if
that includes the bondage
of human trafficking.
Thats the goal of the
Brooklyn Park-based Stories Foundation, which is
conducting a month-long
campaign to raise at least
$30,000. The funds will
fund the launch of the Stories food truck, as a way to
educate and mobilize community members to help
human trafficking victims
change their lives and their
story.
Stephanie Page, of New
Brighton, is the executive
director of the foundation,
which has until April 21
to raise the funds. The ex-
pectation is that the truck

will launch in June and
move about to community
events and summer festivals in communities in the
northwest metro area. The
proceeds from the food and
drink sales will be donated
to organizations around the
country and the world that
help human trafficking victims.
Eventually, the foundations goal is a brick-andmortar building, a community caf in Brooklyn Park
where people can get good
food, feel a sense of community and gather information on how they can help
in the fight against trafficking, Page said.
Our idea is really big,
she explained. We are
starting with a food truck.
People will get good food
and support a good cause.

The project is modeled
after the Ebenezer Coffeehouse in Washington, D.C.,
which is run by a church
and is a block from Union
Station. Proceeds from the
coffeehouse go to local and
international mission projects.
The Stories foundation
dates to 2012, when the
members read the book
Passport through Darkness and learned about the
realities of human trafficking.
Human and sex trafficking is very real and very
local, says Mark Thurston, Stephanies dad, a
Stories board member and
youth pastor at Edinbrook
Church in Brooklyn Park.
There have been sex trafficking rings busted by law

It really is in our backyard, Thurston said. People dont want to talk about
it.

Minneapolis and the Twin

Cities as the second most
active place in the country
for child sex trafficking.
Minnesota is the 13th most
active state in child trafficking.
There are more slaves in
the world now than ever,
says Jessie Szmanda, who
lives in East Bethel and
is secretary of the Stories
board. Estimates are that
there are between 27 and 30
million people in the world
in some type of modernday slavery, which doesnt
necessarily look like the
slavery in the history books.
The human trafficking industry is big business, estimated at $150 billion per
year worldwide.
Some 21 million people
are in some type of labor
slavery, where they are often
made to work for little or
no pay, That includes children and immigrants sold
into slavery and working
to pick coffee beans, cocoa
pods, working in the fishing
industry and making clothing in factories around the
world. The United States
drives the garment industry slavery, Szmanda said,
because Americans buy so
much clothing.
An estimated 6 to 9 million people around the
world are trapped in sex
trafficking, including children as young as 3 years old
in Thailand. Some of the
board members have visited

the Tamar Center shelter
in Pattaya, Thailand, a city
rated by human trafficking
organizations as the second
most visited place the world
for people who participate
in the sex trade. The shelters helps the children, both
boys and girls, who are rescued from sex slavery.
Human trafficking can
be an overwhelming topic
for people, and the group
wants to give people something they can do to help
victims, says Laura Roland,
who lives in Anoka and is
Pages sister and Thurstons
daughter.
Everyone buys coffee
and eats food, she said.
Why not redirect your dollars to make a difference.
Food from our food truck
is a tangible way to help.
The goal is for the food
served from the truck to be
simple, with salads, sandwiches and wraps, and coffee and breakfast items.
The board members want
to serve real food from
real farms and keep it local. They want the specials
and food items to raise
awareness about where human trafficking happens.
The awareness effort will
include statistics and information on the cups and
napkins used to serve the
food. The expectation is

Robins boys basketball standouts

headed for junior college hoops
Robbinsdale program provides opportunity to play and succeed
BY MATTHEW DAVIS
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Getting cut by the varsity and/or junior varsity
team doesnt mean the
end for a basketball players dreams.
Coopers Royale Williams still found a way
to earn a junior college
hoops scholarship at
Itasca Community College despite the persistent
roadblock of not making the Hawks squads.
Williams emerged as a
key player for the Robbinsdale Robins, an area
boys basketball program
comprised of Armstrong
and Cooper student athletes looking for a place
to play.
Its technically rec basketball, but the kids dont
look at it that way, Robins coach Wally Langfellow said. Honestly, I
dont look at it that way
either. I look at it as a
form of traveling basketball.
Langfellow formed the

program seven years ago,
and it has grown ever
since from one team to
four. Players come to play
for reasons varying from
not making a high school
team to simply not having
that kind of time for varsity due to other sports
but still want to play. Williams jumped right into
the Robins program after
the Hawks cut him as a
sophomore.
I just took that motivation and turn it into energy, Williams said.
Williams helped the
Robins win the Minnesota Youth Athletic
Services 10th-grade state
basketball
tournament
that season.
Thats when I finally
built a team, a family to
that I could actually play
with, Williams said.
With putting his game
highlights online, he drew
the notice of Itasca. The
Vikings contacted Williams for a campus visit,
Armstrongs Masengo
Mutanda won All-Northwest Suburban Conference
recognition for a stellar
ninth-grade season with
the Falcons girls basketball team. Mutanda led the
Falcons with 15.2 points
per game in the regular
season and 25 in the Section 6AAAA tournament.

game for the Falcons.

which eventually led to
receiving a scholarship
offer from the school in
Grand Rapids.
People are looking at
you no matter what team
youre on, Williams said.
The level of competition didnt make a large
difference in recruiting
process since many of the
teams have players capable of cracking varsity
lineups at smaller schools.
Moreover, the Robins
Blue team that Williams
plays for has a lineup full
of varsity-caliber athletes.
At least half of our
team, probably more,
would start in medium
to smaller [varsity] programs for sure, Langfellow said.
Cooper Division Ibound athletes Moses
Nyangacha and Steven
Fitzsimmons compete for
the Robins in the winter
but focus on other sports
besides hoops. Nyangacha will play football at
North Dakota State, and
Fitzsimmons will play
baseball at Valparasio.
Several other Robins
players have captain and/
or starting roles for various sports at Armstrong
or Cooper. That group
includes Falcons boys lacrosse captain Matt Lutgen. Armstrong baseball
players Kjell Hokanson
and Ben Everson spend
winter time the Robins as
to Cooper baseball players Garrett Denure, Tony
Langfellow and Josh Lehnertz.
Such talents means
playing time must be
earned with the Robins
Blue team, considered the
A team in the program.
Their practices are as
hard as Coopers team or
a varsity team in general,
Williams said.
Not playing on the A
apparently cant slow
down players hoops ambitions either with the
Robins. Trevor Gabrick,
a Cooper student and
member of the Robins
Gold team, will also play
at Itasca next season.
Gabrick helped the

Gold team take fourth
in this years MYSA C
tournament on March
19-20. Williams helped
the Blue team go 21-7 before the MYSA A tournament, but the Robins
ran into the eventual state
champions from Eden
Prairie on March 19.
Led by Williams 20
points, the Robins closed
out their season on a
positive note in the consolation bracket with a
66-37 win against a Rogers squad. The Robins
finished 22-9.
Williams, who plans
to major in engineering,
hopes his hoops performance at Itasca will lead
to playing Division II or
at a smaller Division I
program. Either way, Williams hoops journey has
already taken him a far
cry from never making
the cut at Cooper.

Hopkins boys head All-Lake team

Mr. Basketball
is No. 1 in
conference
BY JOHN SHERMAN
SUN SAILOR NEWSPAPERS
Falcons baseball
Armstrong gets a big test
early in the baseball season
with Centennial on Tuesday, April 12, in a home
game at 4:30 p.m. Centennial has a top senior prospect
in Levi Falk for teams to
contend with. Armstrong,
third-place finishers at state
last year, returns strong talent in the field and at the
plate with players such as
Josh Thorp, Chance Bowen,
Jon Nelson, Kjell Hokanson and Mitchell Verbeten.
The Falcons will need to fill
the void on the mound left
by star left-handed pitchers Jordan Kuznia and Jack
Wibben who both graduated last spring.
Hawks clash with

rivals in softball
baseball
Cooper will take on
Metro West Conference rival Benilde-St. Margarets
on Thursday, April 14, in
both softball and baseball.
The Hawks baseball team
hosts the Red Knights at
4:30 p.m. while the Hawks
softball team visits BSM at
4:30 p.m.
When the Lake Conference boys basketball

coaches met to select the
all-conference team for
2015-16 recently, they all
agreed on one thing.
Mr. Basketball of Minnesota, Amir Coffey from
Hopkins, would head the
list.
Coffey, a 6-foot-8 guard,
who will play for the University of Minnesota next
season, scored 19.9 points
per game this season, but
that was only one way he
helped the Royals win the
state Class 4A championship with a 31-1 record.
Amir had a great year,
said Hopkins head coach
Kenny Novak Jr. He
was always solid in all areas - scoring, rebounding,
assists. And he did everything within the team concept.
Hopkins
dominated
the All-Lake list with five
first-team selections. The
other Royals honored by
the leagues coaches are
6-foot senior guard Vinnie
Shahid, 5-10 senior guard
Xavier Johnson, 6-2 junior
guard Ishmael El-Amin
and 6-7 senior center Erik
Davis. A fifth Royal, 6-7

junior forward Simon
Wright, was named AllLake honorable mention.
Novak commented on
the contributions of those
players.
Vinnie is really underrated, the coach observed.
He is one of the best
point guards in the state,
and he can really shoot the
ball. He hit 48 percent of
his threes this season. He
has a similar style to Khalid El-Amin [Minneapolis
Norths all-time great in
the 1990s].
Xavier Johnson played
his best ball of the season
in the state tournament,
scoring 20 and 24 points in
the first two games.
Xavier makes things
happen quickly, said Novak. He is an unbelievable
scorer and a really quick
defender. This year he set
a free-throw percentage
record in our program by
making 95 percent.
With four all-conference
guards on the Hopkins
roster, that meant one had

to come off the bench.
Sometimes it was Johnson,
sometimes it was Ishmael
El-Amin.
El-Amin embraced his
role, no matter what the
team wanted him to do,
Novak noted.
We literally had six
starters, the coach explained. Ishmael is a
smart, smart player, who is
at his best in pressure situations.
Davis was one of Hopkins most improved player
this season.
Erik led us in rebounding, said Novak. He
could guard bigs and
could also switch off onto
guards. His play was very

central to what we did.
Wright was a starter and
also a top rebounder.
Simon was as good as
anybody we had at the end
of the year, said Novak.
Not many teams come at
you with the kind of players we had in our top six.
The good news for Novak is that El-Amin and
Wright will return next
season.
Our kids can really
move the ball, said Novak. Ishmael will be more
dominant next season, and
we look for big things from
Simon. One thing hes
working on is improving
his mid-range game.

Welcome to four-class high school baseball

BY JOHN SHERMAN
SUN SAILOR NEWSPAPERS
Your favorite high school
baseball team could have a
shorter route to state this
season now that the Minnesota State High School
League has added a fourth
class to the mix.
All of the big schools
have been assigned to
eight-team sections in
Class 4A.
Lets take a look at that
lineup.
Section 6 includes Armstrong, Cooper, Hopkins,
Minneapolis South, Minneapolis Southwest, Minneapolis Washburn, St.
Louis Park and Wayzata.
The pitching in Section 6
doesnt lag too far behind
with aces such as Thomas
Skoro and Jake Marsh of
Wayzata, Chance Bowen
of Armstrong and Jon
Koch of Hopkins.
Eden Prairie, Prior Lake
and Wayzata are three
teams to watch going into
the season. The EP Eagles
might have the best overall
talent in the state with the
return of outfielder Wesley
Young and third baseman
Jeff Athey. Prior Lake and
Minnetonka have the most
pitching depth. Wayzata

has plenty of momentum
based on last summers
state American Legion
title.
As for the Lake Conference race, that is going to
be interesting, too.
Eden Prairie, Minnetonka and Wayzata could all
win the championship.
Edina and Hopkins will
win some games along the
way. There is parity in the
conference, and results on
any given day will hinge on
the pitching matchups.
Mr. Basketball
I had a feeling the Mr.
Basketball of Minnesota
committee would pick
Amir Coffey from Hopkins as this years winner.
Coffey didnt have the
highest scoring average
(19.9) or the most tripledoubles. What he did was
make his teammates better.
He was more concerned
with moving the basketball
than he was with getting
his own shot.
When your best player
is also your most unselfish
player, good things happen.
Coffey will be playing
for the University of Minnesota next season, and his

presence will only help the
Gophers.
Also joining the Gopher roster next season is
6-foot-10 Reggie Lynch,
the former Edina star, who
started his collegiate career at Illinois State before
transferring home. Lynch
is not a dominant offensive
player, but he is an impact
player at the defensive end
with his shot-blocking
prowess. That is something
the Gophers could have
used this season.
Broadcast Pros
Since I see most of the
State Basketball Tournament games in person, I
dont have an opportunity
to watch Channel 45s live
telecasts with Dave Lee
and Kevin Lynch.
However, I tape the
games for my tournament
library and watch them
over and over again. Dave
Lee brings the games to
life with his play-by-play.
I cant believe how efficiently he memorizes every
players names in all four
classes.
As for Kevin Lynch, he
is a gifted analyst, as Timberwolves fans know from

listening to him on NBA
games all season. Lynch
won a state title with the
Jefferson Jaguars in 1987,
so he knows first-hand the
emotions high school players are feeling on the court.
One of the best things
about both Lee and Lynch
is that theyre always neutral. They see the best in
both teams every game. Its
not like Dick Vitale is behind the microphone rooting for Duke University.
I believe I speak for
many fans when I thank
Dave and Kevin for their
professional work on these
state basketball broadcasts.
There are other local connections I should
mention. Richard Coffey,
whose son Amir was Mr.
Basketball from Hopkins
High this year, has worked
as an analyst and is also
highly competent. At the
girls state tourney, former
Edina head coach Jenny
Johnson provided keen
insight and broke it down
at halftime from a coachs
perspective.

North Hennepin actors to stage Sasquatched musical

Bigfoot-focused
play is part of
50th anniversary
celebration
BY GRETCHEN
SCHLOSSER
SUN POST NEWSPAPERS
Sometimes the most
level-headed creature in
the woods is a Sasquatch.
Student actors and
community
members
will introduce theatre
patrons to Arthur the
Sasquatch in the musical
Sasquatched in seven
upcoming
presentations at North Hennepin
Community College.
The performances are
7:30 p.m. Friday, April
8, Saturday, April 9,
Thursday, April 14, Friday, April 15 and Saturday, April 16. There
are also shows at 2 p.m.
Sunday, April 10 and
Wednesday, April 13.
The April 15 show will
include American Sign
Language interpretation.
The performances are in
the Fine Arts Theatre in
the Fine Arts Center on
the Brooklyn Park college campus.
The musical was written by 1983 NHCC
alumni Phil Darg and is
directed by Mike Ricci.
The show was a hit at the
New York Music Festival in 2013, and Darg
North Hennepin Community College student actors, from left, Chimin Vang, Ryan Christensen, Julia Dahl, Mitch McIntyre and Taylor Loeks, work with choreographer Danielle Ricci during rehearsal for Sasquatched. The musical will be presented April 8-16 at the Fine Arts Center theatre on the Brooklyn Park campus.
(Sun Post staff photo by Gretchen Schlosser)
and Ricci have worked
on several changes and
a new song for this show.
Arthur, the Sasquatch,
is lost in the woods in a
Pacific Northwest national park. So is Sam,
a 10-year-old boy, who
was camping with his
helicopter parents. The
boy and the Sasquatch

find each other and work
together to find their way
home. Along the way,
they deal with a crazed
television crew and misguided locals trying to
drum up the myth of
bigfoot and resulting
Sasquatch hunters to pa-
qqSBq 1
q SBS BB~
tronize their business.

John Naumann stars
as Arthur, and Jayden
Olmsted, a 12-year-old
sixth-grader at Rogers
Middle School, plays
Sam. There is a five-piece
live band playing the music, including a new song
written by Darg.
The play is family

friendly, Ricci said, and
follows Sams family into
the woods. There are
subtle messages about
the environment, ecology, helicopter parents
and respect for those
who are different than
ourselves.

are desperate to find their
son, the locals desperate

AN ORDINANCE REPEALING
IN ITS ENTIRETY CHAPTER
11 OF THE NEW HOPE CITY
CODE AND ADOPTING
A NEW CHAPTER 11
TRAFFIC REGULATIONS
AND CRIMINAL AND
MISCELLANEOUS
OFFENSES OF THE NEW
HOPE CITY CODE
The following is a summary
of Ordinance No. 16-05 which is
hereby approved this 28th day
of March, 2016 by the New Hope
City Council for official publication.
The Council hereby determines this
summary ordinance clearly informs
the public of the intent and effect
of Ordinance No. 16-05. A printed
copy of the entire text of Ordinance
16-05 is available for inspection
at the office of the New Hope City
Clerk. The entire text of Ordinance
16-05 is also posted and available
for inspection at the New Hope Ice
Arena and on the Citys internet
web site.
1. The title of Ordinance No. 1605 is An Ordinance Repealing In
Its Entirety Chapter 11 of the New
Hope City Code and Adopting a
New Chapter 11 Traffic Regulations and Criminal and Miscellaneous Offenses of the New Hope
City Code.
2. Section One of the Ordinance
repeals in its entirety the Citys
existing Chapter 11 Traffic Regulations and Criminal and Miscellaneous Offenses of the New Hope
City Code.
3. The general purpose for recodifying and adopting a new
Chapter 11 Traffic Regulations
and Criminal and Miscellaneous
Offenses of the New Hope City
Code is to correct grammatical errors in the code, replace masculine
specific pronouns with gender neutral references and verify for accuracy and/or correct all references to
Minnesota Statutes and Rules and
other rules adopted by reference in
Chapter 11.
4. In addition to correction of
grammatical errors, the elimination
of masculine specific pronouns and
corrections to state statute and
rule references, Section Two of the
Ordinance adopts and re-codifies
Chapter 11, Traffic Regulations
and Criminal and Miscellaneous
Offenses of the New Hope City
Code. The specific substantive
changes are as follows:
a. Sec. 11-2 Parking regulations was amended by deleting
language relating to parking on
streets without curbs since all city
streets have curbs. The amendment also prohibits on-street parking of recreational vehicles and
trailers for any purpose without first
obtaining an on-street permit from
the city, clarifies the procedure for
obtaining an on-street parking permit and limits the issuance of said
permits to two annually per property and conforms parking regulations for the physically disabled to
state statutes.
b. Sec. 11-5 Misdemeanor
violations bureau was amended
to indicate the citys misdemeanor violations bureau is Hennepin
County District Court Second Division located at Brookdale. It was
further amended to authorize police
reserve officers to issue citations
for city code violations relating to
Chapter 11.
c. Sec. 11-6 Equipment violation tags was amended by increasing from five to seven days
the time in which a violator must
repair the defective equipment and
show proof of the repair to the police department.
d. Sec. 11-11 Miscellaneous
offenses was amended by removing lurking and lying in wait as a
prosecutorial offense.
e. Sec. 11-13 Regulation of
weapons was amended by deleting subsections (b) through (j) relating to the citys issuance of handgun conceal and carry permits.
This function is now handled by
the Hennepin County Sherriff per
state statute. Also, the remainder
of this section was conformed to
state law.
f. All other changes not mentioned in this summary ordinance
are grammatical corrections or
insignificant in nature not changing the substance of the affected
section.
5. Section Three makes Ordinance No. 16-05 effective upon
publication of this summary of Ordinance No. 16-05.
Dated this 28th day of March, 2016.

I didnt even know

I was hit, Eberling remembered, adding that
he only noticed the injury when a squadmate
pointed it out. It was
a burning sensation because of the hot metal.
Steve Hawk, born and
raised in Crystal, said
he probably would have
volunteered to fight had
he not been drafted anyway. He enlisted in the
Marine Corps and went
on to work at Channel
11 and 3M after the war.
He recalled patrolling for
days at a time and setting
Injury

tendon in the next few
days, and his recovery is
expected to take months.
Heifort did not receive
a gunshot wound. The
traffic stop was initiated
when the automated license plate reader in
Heiforts squad car indicated that the car he
pulled over was owned
by someone with a suspended license, Franzen
said.
Police are unsure if the
sound Heifort heard
which was loud enough
post.mnsun.com
up ambushes to surprise
Vietcong fighters.
You could define
combat as periods of
boredom marked by moments of absolute pandemonium, Hawk said.
Richter enlisted in
the Marine Corps and
fought in the battle of
Khe Sahn, one of the
wars bloodiest battles.
He, like Thomas, refuses
to talk about it.
Maybe when my
grandson
gets
old
enough, he said. It was
50 years ago. It was history. ... I just moved on.
We were there doing a job, Hawk said
as Thomas grunted in
agreement. We were so
focused on that job, we
didnt have time to think

about things like being
afraid or worry or anything like that.
Almost all the vets
interviewed rattled off
the exact day the Army
drafted them, and some
said they volunteered
for the Marines so they
could avoid fighting for
the Army.
I thought Id come
home. I thought Id get
better training, said
Richter, who went on
to work as a truck driver after the war. The
Army went through six
weeks of training, I went
through 18 weeks.
Others recounted the
toll the war took on their
families back home, who
they said were overjoyed

to see their sons return.
I remember my sister telling me that my
mom would often cry
every night, worrying
about whether or not her
son was going to come
home, Hawk said.
His wifes brother, Jeffrey Peterson, was killed
in action in August 1969.
He was one that didnt
come home, Hawk said.
The people who had to
wait behind for the veterans to come home, it
seems to me, are as much
heroes as anybody who
ever earned a medal or
received a decoration.
to be picked up on the
squad cars recording
equipment, Franzen said
- was a gunshot, and did
not recover a gun or shell
casings from the scene.
Franzen said that could
mean there either was no
gun present or that the
gun used was a revolver,
which does not eject casings when it fires. The total time between the beginning of the traffic stop
and the officers injury
was less than one minute,
he added.
Radio chatter during
the incident indicates the
suspect was a black male
of about 25 years of age
with long dreadlocks, a
black jacket, blue jeans

and a black hat who
headed toward nearby
Welcome Park immediately after the incident.
Police recovered a cell
phone and hat, Franzen
said.
The investigation was
passed on to Crystal police, who arrested one
suspect and executed
a search warrant at his
nearby apartment. The
suspect was arrested on
suspicion of obstruction
of the legal process, a felony with maximum penalties of up to one year in
prison and a $3,000 fine.

Franzen estimated that
the three boxes filled with
stuffed animals could easily last a year. Police might

time, he said, then feel the Contact Joe Bowen at joe. A group of Robbinsdale police pose in front of department headquarters with recently-donated stuffed animals, which they use to

that volunteers will staff the
food truck.
In her role as executive
director, Page has been
speaking to groups at
churches, colleges, schools,
organizations and nonprofits, talking about the impact
of sex abuse and pornography on societys collective
conscience. Watching visual
images of sex changes how
a person sees others, lessens the value of others, and
leads to sex trafficking, she
said.
Sex is viewed as a commodity, she said. People
are seen, not as people, but
as something to be traded.
Talking about human
trafficking can be difficult,
but parents need to talk
with their children about
helping their community
be a safe place and that
abuse of any kind isnt acceptable. Children dont
need the details of sex trafficking, Page said, but they
can understand that people
are forced to do things they
dont want to do.
Adults need to talk with
the kids about safe places
and find a way to talk about
Stories Foundation board members and supporters discuss their fund drive to raise $30,000 to
start a food truck and help victims of human trafcking. Around the table, from left, are Laura

it, she said. Stories will be
that place.
The foundation is reaching out to those passionate
about social justice and
wants to partner with corporate sponsors and organizations, Page said.
It will take all of us doing our small part to make
this big thing happen, she
said.
Ultimately, the foundations goal is to have more
cafs around the area, says
board member and Brook-
lyn Park resident John Nargan. The groups call is to

get started, and the food
truck is a lower cost option.
It is more realistic to
raise $30,000 than $3 million, he said. This is our
starting spot.
The work isnt about
profit, or even meeting the
victims that the food truck
and community caf will
help, Thurston said, Rather
it is about changing lives
and communities for the
better.
We want to change peoples stories, from a bad one

to a good one, he said.
