Edina resident retires to Tonga

City solution for variance issue miffs homeowners Edina City Council approves zoning changes to cope with Supreme Court decision

Jinnet Fowles joins Peace Corps after long research career

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Jinnet Fowles retired from her job of 25 years as a senior research scientist at Park Nicollet Health Services in September.

The longtime Edina resident’s retirement plan included getting a new job in education research at a small nonprofit.

“The general structure and pressure to get funding to do research are amazingly similar,” said Fowles. “It’s ironically exactly what I was doing for Park Nicollet.”

But there is a big difference.

Fowles is working in Tonga, a chain of islands in the South Pacific, with the Peace Corps.

She was sworn in as a volunteer last month after 10 weeks

Winter Ice Festival 2011 Roger “Rusty” Rust puts detail into a swan he carved out of ice Sunday, Jan. 9, at the Winter Ice Festival at Centennial Lakes Park in Edina. Rust has been ice carving for 35 years and says his favorite pieces are ones with a lot of detail. The Ice Festival is the only outdoor event he does each year, and Rust said he likes being outside talking to people.

Connie Miller said she’s feeling a lot like “the pickle in the middle.”

She and husband Jeff Miller wanted to replace their 1950s rambler in Edina this summer with a modest home matching the rest of their neighborhood.

A Minnesota Supreme Court decision in June prevented them from getting the variance necessary for their building plans. They hoped to deviate from the city’s massing ordinance aimed at ensuring new or remodeled homes are constructed in the same scale as the surrounding neighborhood.

However, by now the Millers could have built and be living in an even bigger and taller home within city code. A

Edina window company among 13 to receive letter containing powder

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS

Regular RegularPrice Price$35.95 $35.95+Tax +Tax

2/14/2011

An Edina home improvement company was among 13 Twin Cities businesses to receive a threatening letter containing a white powder substance.

Renewal by Anderson, 5828 Lincoln Drive, reported receiving a harassing letter Friday, Dec. 31, according to Edina Police reports. The FBI is investigating the mailings.

The powder present in most of the letters has been analyzed and is not harmful, said Ralph Boelter, special agent in charge of the Minneapolis FBI office.

Letters were received between Friday, Dec. 31, and Thursday, Jan. 6, at eight Home Depot stores and five Renewal By Andersen businesses in the Twin Cities area.

The Home Depot stores that received the letters are located in Hudson, Wis.; Inver Grove Heights, Eagan, Maplewood, Apple Valley, Forest Lake, Hastings and Woodbury. The Renewal By Andersen businesses that received the letters are located in Edina, Burnsville, Roseville, Bayport and Cottage Grove.

The FBI said the envelopes have identical return addresses. The letters received by the businesses are also exactly the same letter that appears to have been photocopied.

The State of Minnesota Department of Health Lab in St. Paul analyzed the white powder substance present in the first 12 letters. It was identified as sodium bicarbonate – commonly called baking soda – and is not toxic or dangerous.

The substance in the last letter received had not yet been analyzed at press time.

The FBI is not releasing additional information due to the pending investigation.

The United States Postal Investigation Service, the Minnesota National Guard 55th Civil Support Team, the Minnesota Department of Health and local law enforcement agencies from the cities where the letters have been received are also investigating.

The use, threat of use, attempted use or conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, such as a hazardous material, is a federal offense. Anyone with information concerning the investigation is asked to contact the FBI at 612-376-3200.

EDUCATION ECAE seeks input on academic programs The Edina Center for Academic Excellence is seeking input from families interested in additional opportunities for gifted and academically talented children.

A discussion on programming is 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 22, at South View Middle School, 4725 South View Lane, Edina, in room 141 (enter through door 3 on the south side of the building).

The Center currently hosts students taking the EXPLORE test through the Northwestern University Midwest Academic Talent Search.

To complement the competitive math training programs, which draw students from around the metro, the Center’s newly expanded board of directors is developing advanced science and technology courses. During the discussion, parents can help shape those new courses, as well as provide input on other programs they would like to see.

Families need not have a child taking the EXPLORE test to participate. Info: www.ecae.net.

City responds to another gas leak near site of recent home explosion

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Edina officials said lessons learned in a house explosion last February helped them manage a natural gas leak nearly a year later and less than a mile away Thursday, Jan. 6.

The leak on the 5400 block of Kellogg Avenue was reported in the late afternoon and capped that same night without incident, said Edina Fire Chief Marty Scheerer.

The Edina Fire Department began advising residents five lots deep north and south of 54th Street between Wooddale and Minnehaha Avenues to evacuate around 4 p.m. as a precaution.

In the Feb. 23 incident at 50th Street and Arden Avenue, homes were not evacuated prior to the explosion despite a natural gas leak being reported about two hours before.

According to the Fire Department’s post-incident analysis of that event, CenterPoint Energy officials were monitoring the area for gas and said none was believed to be migrating underground into adjoining buildings – one of the department’s standards for evacuation.

No one was injured, however, Scheerer said because of the incident last year the city took extra safety measures Jan. 6.

Evacuees were directed to leave their doors unlocked so Fire Department or CenterPoint Energy crews could gain

Public Safety access, if necessary. A bus was parked at Edina Country Club, 5100 Wooddale Ave., for anyone in need of shelter.

Scheerer said CenterPoint Energy monitored gas levels in and around homes more closely this time than last.

The source of the leak was identified at approximately 5:25 p.m. and crews began digging to repair the six-inch cast iron line along Minnehaha Creek.

“The old cast iron pipes can crack and get leaks in them,” said Scheerer, adding it was his understanding that CenterPoint Energy had plans to replace the pipe this summer in conjunction with a road construction project.

With the digging in the area, gas levels dissipated quickly, he said. Most evacuees were allowed to return home by 7 p.m. and leak was capped by 8 p.m.

Those directly adjacent to the leak were allowed to return home by about 10 p.m.

Throughout the evening the city provided several updates via City Extra email, its Twitter feed and on its website www.cityofedina.com.

“We learned a lot about how to communicate with the residents and let them know what’s going on,” Scheerer.

CenterPoint crews continued work overnight and into Friday morning, Jan. 7, to make sure natural gas had been cleared from the area, he said.

Edina Police investigating armed robbery at strip mall Five total robberies were reported in city in 2010

BY KATIE MINTZ • SUN NEWSPAPERS Edina Police are investigating an armed robbery at Edible Arrangements, which makes and sells fresh fruit bouquets.

According to police, a man entered the store, 5824 Lincoln Drive, around 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 28, as an employee was preparing to close for the night.

The suspect, described as a black male, age 20-30, approximately 5-foot-9 and weighing 185 pounds, approached the employee with what appeared to be a small black handgun.

“He entered the store, came up to the counter and told the clerk to give him the money, which he did,” said the police department’s Public Information Officer Molly Anderson.

The suspect also demanded the employee’s cell phone. No one was injured.

Anderson said the suspect was wearing a black or dark brown hooded sweatshirt and black pants.

The man could be connected to another robbery that occurred less than 20 minutes later in Richfield in which the suspect description was similar, she said.

The Edina robbery is under investigation. No arrests have been made.

Anderson said overall, robbery was down in the city last year. There were five robberies in 2010 compared to 14 in 2009 – a 64 percent reduction.

“That’s a significant decline,” she said “We’re grateful that robbery is down so much from last year and we are working every avenue we can regarding this case.”

Anyone with information about the robbery should contact Edina Police Det. Dave Carlson at 952-826-1610.

Choosing assisted living option: Crisis or controlled decision?

Can you imagine being told you have to find an assisted living apartment to move into by Friday and today is Tuesday?

That happens frequently in care centers with rehabilitation wings, otherwise known as transitional care units.

If you have elderly parents or loved ones, starting conversations early about their wishes is a wise decision should this scenario ever occur. More than 90 percent of seniors over 65 want to remain in their own home; however, research shows that about two-thirds of seniors are unable to do so because they need assistance performing activities of daily living.

Having a “Plan B” is a good idea in case your loved one becomes unable to continue to live in their home. If a friend or loved one experiences a fall or becomes hospitalized for some reason, that may be a good time to start a conversation with your own parent. It might go something like this: “Mom, I know your friend fell and I’m not sure if she’s going to be able come back home after she recovers. If something like that were to happen to you, have you thought about what you would like to do?”

Many times a crisis occurs and there hasn’t been a conversation about what the older adult would prefer. In crisis, options are not as clear, as you are already in a stressful situation and there isn’t time to discover and have control over the outcome. Even though many assisted living facilities today have vacancies, not all of them do. If memory care is needed, finding a good option can be even more difficult.

Ideally, this decision making process of choosing a new residence should be made over a month or more. Comparing

EUNICE NEUBAUER Certified senior advisor specializing in senior housing options three to five communities is recommended. Narrow your choice after the initial visits and then go for a second visit. Most communities welcome treating a potential future resident to a meal. They can also arrange to have you dine with one of their residents so you can find out how they like living there.

Key areas to focus on: • Staffing – What is the resident to staff ratio? Are the staff employees or contracted from outside agencies?

• Costs – All senior communities charge differently so it is important to make sure one is comparing apples to apples.

Find out if they take medical assistance if funds become depleted or do they ask the resident to move out?

• Food and Nutrition – Does the organization have a chef and dietitian on staff and can they accommodate special diets?

• Care Levels – Is this community able to accommodate a two-person transfer or one-onone care if needed?

There are options to fit anyone’s preferences and needs, however, finding the right fit under a tight timeline is not ideal and can be avoided by doing the homework in advance.

Library usage, lifelong learning, new resources highlight remarkable year

BY LOIS LANGER THOMPSON GUEST COLUMNIST With over 17 million checkouts, 20 million website visits and more than 5.5 million library building visits, 2010 was an extraordinary year for library service in Hennepin County.

Hennepin County residents are ready and eager to read, learn, graduate, work and engage. In 2010, the library supported this by: • Actively supporting school readiness with more than 2,900 storytimes. Library storytime is based on the most current early literacy research and encourages development of basic pre-reading skills. If you haven’t had a chance to attend a storytime with your child or grandchild, we look forward to seeing you in 2011.

• Remaining committed to ensure that every student in the County graduates from high school. Hundreds of students are assisted by librarians every day at our 41 libraries. At our nine Homework Hub locations, volunteers supervised by trained tutors help hundreds of children and teens with their homework. In fact, graduating teens have told us that they were able to graduate because of the help they received through this program. Our website shows locations and hours for Homework Hub as well as volunteer applications.

• Offering programs and classes for customers of all ages. Career and small business resources, including free consultations with professional career and small business

counselors, are in high demand. This year more than 650 free computer classes trained hundreds of individuals in new technologies.

There are many reasons to celebrate the year 2010. New libraries opened in Plymouth and Maple Grove to serve those rapidly growing communities.

In response to public demand, downloadable eBooks are now available at Hennepin County Library.

The National Association of Counties (NACo) awarded Hennepin County Library for collaborating with Xcel Energy to make PowerCheck Energy Meters available for check out.

Minneapolis Central Library opened Mondays, thanks to Ballpark sales tax revenue.

Every day, the library connects with thousands of library “friends” via social networking sites, including Twitter and Facebook. There are more than 6,000 visits each week to Hennepin County Library’s own social networking site, www.Bookspace.org, where you can find recommendations for books or add your suggestions for other readers.

Thank you for making 2010 an extraordinary year. The staff of Hennepin County Library looks forward to welcoming you to the Library in 2011 as we nourish minds, transform lives and build community together.

Lois Langer Thompson is the director of the Hennepin County Library System. Additional information about area library facilities and services is available at hclib.org.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Local hockey players trade sticks for shovels To the editor: With all the snow, the Edina Fire Department faced the daunting task of uncovering all of the snowed-under fire hydrants. And they called on the Edina Hockey Association to help. What a great way to harness the energy of Edina’s youth.

Teams gathered, shovels in hand, fire hydrants uncovered, job done. After uncovering 50 or so hydrants Sunday, Jan. 2, my son’s Squirt B Green team still had energy for a pickup pond hockey game.

Kudos to the person who thought to tap into this resource, and kudos to the teams for their enthusiasm and efforts.

Andrea Bender Edina

Technology initiatives To the editor: I am a student at Hopkins High School and wish to say the initiatives

that were approved in the November referendum will certainly benefit me.

Increased funding for technology is going to help Hopkins High be a school for the 21st century, and if that means people have to pay a little extra, they should.

We students are the future. Would you like the future to be bright? That is the question, not, “Does Hopkins need iPads?” or “Windows or Mac?” Reid Madden Wayzata

City Council allows use of ATVs, snowmobiles for park maintenance Edina residents could see recreational vehicles being used at city parks this winter – but not for fun.

The Edina City Council has approved an ordinance amendment allowing operation of all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles on city property to conduct maintenance work.

“The language would allow for ATVs and snowmobiles to be used for maintenance and public purpose,” said Park and Recreation Director John Keprios. “This is not for recreational purposes.”

The ordinance amendment unanimously approved Tuesday, Dec. 21, gives the park and recreation director and city manager authority to grant use of the vehicles on city property in certain circumstances.

The change came about following a request in early December from

Edina High School’s Nordic ski team coach to use a snowmobile to groom a trail on city-owned property adjacent to the school and Creek Valley Elementary School campus. Under previous city code, permission could not be granted.

With the amended ordinance, ATVs and snowmobiles must be used for maintenance or utility purposes only.

The amendment would also allow staff to use ATVs or snowmobiles to remove deer from remote wooded areas, allow for search-and-rescue training and a variety of natural resource maintenance tasks. School district personnel may also grant permission for such use on property owned by the school district.

Recreational use of snowmobiles and ATVs on city property is still prohibited.

Zoning FROM PAGE 1 recent zoning change by the Edina City Council did not provide the relief they hoped for.

“It’s very contradictory and has really put us in this bad spot,” said Miller.

“In my wildest dreams I never thought it would take this long nor would we be at this point. It’s just been a very, very disappointing several months of going through this process.”

Edina previously granted variances to property owners who wanted to deviate from city code when it was determined sticking to code would cause an undue hardship.

But the Supreme Court ruling in Krummenacher v. City of Minnetonka said “a municipality does not have the authority to grant a variance unless the applicant can show that her property cannot be put to a reasonable use without the variance.”

The Edina City Council unanimously approved zoning code changes Dec. 21 that eliminate the need for variances on some residential and commercial projects that fall outside current building regulations.

Jeff and Connie Miller hoped to rebuild their rambler at 4509 Garrison Lane (left) in Edina this summer but a Minnesota Supreme Court decision prevented them from pursuing a variance from city code to elevate their lower level more than one foot to prevent groundwater issues and raise its low ceiling. Under a new conditional-use permitting process approved by the Edina City Council, to move forward with the desired plans for their home (middle), the Millers can now prove a groundwater issue through a soil-boring test to exceed the one-foot rule, but they say the process is overly burdensome. If they choose not to elevate their lower level, they could build an even bigger home (right) that doesn't fit the character of the neighborhood, but yet is within city code, without going through the expensive test and special-permitting process. (Submitted photo and graphics)

While Miller said she was initially hopeful the city would help solve her problem created by the Supreme Court decision, one of the changes made last month “takes a bad ordinance and makes it worse.”

Planning Director Cary Teague said the vast majority of residential rebuilds are meeting the massing ordinance’s one-foot standard, which limits a new or remodeled home’s first-floor height to be no more than one foot taller than in the old home. The city granted only six vari-

ances from the rule in the past three years before the Krummenacher case.

The new option approved by the Council puts a conditional use permitting process in place to get around the rule only when necessary.

“The ordinance before you allows three circumstances in order to make that conditional use permit request,” said Teague at the meeting Dec. 21.

Under the new ordinance, property owners can be granted a conditional use permit to exceed the one-foot limit in

three circumstances: 1) to elevate the first level two feet above the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s 100year flood plain elevation, 2) to protect the home from groundwater protrusion as determined by a civil engineer or hydrologist, or 3) to meet state or city codes or other statutory requirements.

Under each circumstance, the new home must also match the neighborhood character in “mass, height and scale.”

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE Miller said she hoped for approval of more general language proposed by staff this summer allowing first floor elevations to be raised up to four feet if â&#x20AC;&#x153;necessary because of high ground water or to satisfy flood protection elevation requirements.â&#x20AC;?

From the street, their rambler appears to be one story, with the lower level visible from only the back. The lower-level walkout has a seven-foot ceiling. Because it is used as primary living space, they would like to bring the ceiling up to eight feet, but need to use the one extra foot allowed instead to bring up the building foundation. They said groundwater from an improperly graded lot has seeped up through the floor in the past causing mold and mildew problems.

Because their situation does not fit into the first or third circumstance, the Millers would have to hire a civil engineer or hydrologist to prove the groundwater issue with a soil boring.

Bob Obermeyer, with Barr Engineering, told the City Council such a test would cost $1,000 to $2,000. Miller said she has begun to seek estimates and they are coming in much higher.

At the meeting Dec. 21,

Councilmember Mary Brindle suggested the city also accept historical proof from the homeowner in place of a soil test, as was previously the standard for granting variances. She said she was concerned about the city mandating a costly test that if inaccurate, could lead the homeowner to make a bad decision.

Brindle also wanted to add language allowing the first floor elevation to be raised to the extent necessary to create an eight-foot ceiling. The state building code has a minimum ceiling height of seven feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these walkout levels end up being these small squashed spaces,â&#x20AC;? said Brindle.

Councilmember Ann Swenson said to avoid confusion the city should not mandate different standards than the state building code.

Mayor Jim Hovland said the massing ordinance serves an important purpose.

He said accepting historical data as proof for a conditional use permit could be a mistake for the city as well as the homeowner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty creative solution to the problem,â&#x20AC;? said Hovland of the zoning change, which was adopted unanimously.

Miller said they would likely pursue a conditional use permit despite their

frustrations. If the soil boring proves a groundwater issue, the plans must then go before the Planning Commission and City Council.

She could also apply for a building permit for plans that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require a conditional use permit. The Millers could raise their lower level a foot to solve their groundwater problem and leave the ceiling height at seven feet. To regain lost living space, they could add an additional story above and still be within the maximumallowed height for single-family homes.

But Miller said it â&#x20AC;&#x153;just doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like doing the right thingâ&#x20AC;? because it would not fit in with the neighborhood.

She said she also been in contact with local state legislators, the Builders Association of Minnesota and the Minnesota League of Cities about a possible legislative remedy to the Supreme Court decision as well.

The City Council also unanimously approved two less controversial zoning changes Dec. 21.

In a review of all variances granted for single-family residential properties over the last three years, the city found nearly half were for expansions to nonconforming uses or setbacks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often for homes built before the existing city code was in place.

To address the situation, the city will

now allow expansions of non-conforming uses that maintain the non-conformity without greatly exacerbating it.

Recent state statute gave cities the ability to do this through an ordinance process rather than through variances.

The proposed ordinance amendment would allow building additions into existing nonconforming setbacks up to a maximum of 200 square-feet on each level of the home or up to the existing non-conforming square footage of the home, whichever is less.

Additionally, the City Council created a new Planned Unit Development zoning designation for commercial uses.

While the Edina Planning Commission began working on the language for the amendment more than a year ago in order to give the city more control and flexibility, it will also address the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inability to grant variances. The code essentially creates a unique zoning district with specific regulations for each project, eliminating the need for variances from more conventional zoning districts.

The site plan review procedures include encouragement to developers to hold neighborhood meetings and submit sketch plans to the planning director to share the concepts with the Commission and Council prior to filing applications.

Fowles FROM PAGE 1

Edina resident Jinnet Fowles (left) takes Tongan language lessons with teacher Ofa Koloi while serving in the Peace Corps in the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. Fowles joined the Peace Corps after retiring from Park Nicollet Health Services, where she worked for 25 years. (Submitted photo)

of intensive training. She is now on assignment at the University of the South Pacific’s Institute of Education on Tonga’s main island of Tongatapu.

“I was approaching retirement age, looking at the last third of my life and what I wanted to do with it,” said Fowles by phone in early January. “My children are healthy, educated and employed so it seemed like a great time to step away from my life as I knew it.”

This year, Peace Corps is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Since 1961, more than 200,000 Americans have served with the organization aimed at promoting better understanding between Americans and people around the world.

Today, 8,655 volunteers are working with local communities in 77 host countries. Peace Corps volunteers must be U.S. citizens and at least 18 years of age.

There is no upper age limit for Peace Corps. The average age is 27. About 5 percent of volunteers are over 50.

Fowles said she is lucky to be joined by four other volunteers over 50 in her cohort of 26 currently serving in Tonga.

She said service overseas is a fabulous thing for older adults.

“I’ve always said the worst disease of growing old is hardening of the categories,” said Fowles. “I think we should think about the last third of our lives as being expansive rather than diminishing. Just because our physical capacity is diminishing doesn’t mean our worldview has to. It’s a real opportunity for growth.”

Fowles, who has a doctorate in communication research from Stanford University, started the Peace Corps application process in 2007.

As part of the extensive health screening involved, she discovered she had early stage breast cancer. It derailed her plans, but only temporarily.

“You go through that and you realize your health is subject to change, and I decided if was going to do it I better jump on the stick and get it done,” said Fowles.

After successful treatment, she applied again in May 2009, was accepted in July 2010 and received medical clearance in January 2010. She spent several months packing up her Edina home and preparing to rent it while serving her 27month commitment in Peace Corps.

FROM PREVIOUS PAGE She was initially told she’d be serving in Central Asia.

“Then I got this letter that I was invited to serve in the Kingdom of Tonga,” said Fowles. “First, I had no idea where Tonga was. Then I was just excited I wasn’t going to somewhere-istan – I was going to this beautiful South Pacific country of islands.”

Fowles FROM PAGE 19 als come from, how they coordinate with other weavers and how they distribute the products they make,” she said. “That was fascinating for me.”

Fowles said she’s also been surprised by how weather plays a huge role in travel. She has twice been unable to travel to rural islands for additional research assignments. Her entire cohort is also serving on developed islands instead of the usual rural Peace Corps outposts due to a ferry tragedy two years ago that left many of the islands without safe and reliable boat access.

“Everything is always conditioned on the weather and the fact you’re on separate islands,” said Fowles.

She said she is also learning a lot about the way Tonga has been influ-

enced by western culture. For instance, Christianity is a big part of life.

“This week is prayer week in Tongatapu. It’s an extremely Christian religious country and the first week of the year everyone goes to a morning and evening prayer service,” said Fowles.

While never colonized like other South Pacific islands, including Samoa and Fiji, Tonga has still been greatly influenced by countries that provide monetary aid.

“This is a very poor country and aid is critical, but aid always comes with strings attached,” she said. “There’s a real struggle for the people of Tonga to reclaim their cultural heritage. I’m working really hard to understand how island nations are attempting to resolve this imbalance in their education.”

Many people on the main island speak English and were educated in Australia or New Zealand. But people on smaller islands speak Tongan, and

Fowles continues to receive two hours of language tutoring every week.

Fowles said she isn’t missing the Minnesota winter – “I love hearing about it from a safe distance.” It is currently summer in Tonga, but because it is further south from the equator than many other South Pacific islands, it is more temperate.

“It is hot, but there are always breezes from the ocean,” said Fowles, who is expecting a number of guests from the United States.

She said her focus is on the island now and not what she’ll do when her time with the Peace Corps is up in December 2012.

“I am still in my honeymoon phase,” said Fowles. “I just love it. I love my work at the University of the South Pacific. It’s very stimulating. Then I have this fantastic home. I go around really most of the time saying pinch me.”

Katybeth Biewen and Jamie Bresnahan are returning all-conference players for Edina.

Tennis pro Wicklund receives USTA’s Frank Voigt Award His students have won numerous state honors

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS In 29 years as head tennis pro at Edina Country Club, Greg Wicklund has trained some of the state’s elite players.

His service to the sport was recognized recently when the United States Tennis Association’s Northern Section named him the winner of the Frank Voigt Award for 2010.

Frank Voigt was one of the section’s first great pros, and his teaching methods have stood the test of time, according to Wicklund.

“It is a great honor for me to receive an award named for Frank Voigt,” said Wicklund. “Frank Greg Wicklund was one of the all-time greats in this profession; [he was] the tennis guru at Woodhill Country Club.

He worked with many top players, including Don Budge. So many great pros have won this award in the past.”

Wicklund’s students have included David Wheaton of Minnetonka, who earned a living on the pro tour, and Whitney Taney of Edina, who posted a 166-0 record in high school tennis.

The Edina pro also trained Anh Nguyen of Bloomington Jefferson, a five-time state Class AA singles champion, and state champion Jackie Moe of Edina, who went on to play for the University of Texas. Another Wicklund protégé was Edina’s Justin Gaard, who has gone on from a successful tennis career to a radio career at KFAN. “I am still an active player, but as I’ve gotten older, my greatest satisfaction is seeing my students do well,” said Wicklund. “I have been fortunate to work with a lot of great kids.

“David Wheaton was a natural and had a world-class backhand by the time he was 14 years old. Whitney Taney’s record was

amazing. She showed a lot of mental toughness and didn’t give away any free points.”

Nguyen is considered by some to be the most dominant player in state girls tennis history.

“Anh was like Whitney in that she was very tenacious,” Wicklund noted.

“She hated unforced errors. Jackie Moe was a really good athlete who really worked hard. Justin Gaard was like David Wheaton – a natural with a great backhand. Justin had a great head for the game and was a lot of fun to be around with his gift of gab.”

With 29 years’ experience, Wicklund is able to work with players of all ability levels, not just superstars.

“When I work with beginning players, I want them to learn proper grip, good stroke technique and good footwork,” said Wicklund. “As they progress, I want them to become as smooth and relaxed as possible.”

Wicklund fell in love with tennis the first time he played the game as a youngster in Minneapolis. He played on the tennis team at Roosevelt High and made it all the way to the state finals before losing to Kevin Smith of Hopkins Lindbergh.

At the University of Minnesota, playing under the watchful eye of coach Jerry Noyce, Wicklund’s game improved by leaps and bounds.

In his sophomore year, Wicklund won a Big Ten Conference doubles title with Mike Trautner. In his senior year, 1982, Wicklund won the Big Ten singles championship.

During his career at the U of M, Wicklund decided that he wanted to become a tennis coach.

“I was a student of the game, and I wanted to pass along everything I learned from coach Noyce,” he said. “Coaching is a hobby as well as a job. And it’s a great way for me to stay in shape.”

Wicklund said Edina Country Club is an ideal workplace.

“This is a great job,” he said. “We have beautiful courts here … and the people are really into tennis. There are more than 300 students in our junior tennis program. Many of the families have had two, three or four kids in the program.”

Flyers adapted floor hockey team is deep

Edina skaters rally past HA Fogarty’s late goal completes comeback

Top scorers return for South Suburban squad

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS

BY GREG KLEVEN • SUN NEWSPAPERS There is an abundance of talent returning for the South Suburban Flyers adapted floor hockey team.

The Flyers compete in the Physically Impaired (PI) Division. Squad members are student-athletes in grades 7-12 from Eden Prairie, Edina, Bloomington and Richfield.

The Flyers were scheduled to open the season in the Team 25 Adapted Floor Hockey Invitational Tournament Jan. 78 at Rochester Century High School.

This year’s captains are Eden Prairie seniors Robert Doyle and Sam Rasmussen.

Flyers’ junior players are Rachel Rosenthal and Chris Reichel from Edina, Nick Nieson and Mark McDaniel from Eden Prairie, Karen Kriedler of Richfield, and Jessi Bean of Bloomington Jefferson.

The Flyers also hope to get contributions from sophomores Alex Furber (Jefferson) and DeQuan Williams (Kennedy).

South Suburban ninth-grade players are Dan Schmitz (Kennedy) and Callie Johnson (Eden Prairie).

Edina’s Jackson Lowe and Eden Prairie’s Jake Yancy are eighth-grade members of the team.

Seventh-grade players are all from Edina – Danny Moffert, Patrick Moffatt, Andrew Spartz and Alexei Dickinson.

“I am very excited about our team,” said Flyers head coach Dan Slinden.

“Kriedler is back after leading us in scoring last season with 45 goals.

“Nieson was our leader in assists with 19 and Doyle added 13 goals and 18 assists. Those three players make up our first line and I expect big numbers from that group.”

Furber is expected to be the Flyers’ starting goaltender according to Slinden. Providing defensive support are Schmitz and Reichel.

“I am looking forward to our new athletes that joined the team this season,” added Slinden.

The Flyers will travel to Rosemount to play Dakota United at 6:30 p.m.

Thursday, Jan. 13.

Hornet girls score solid wins outside conference

BY JOHN SHERMAN • SUN NEWSPAPERS Edina High’s girls basketball team scored two big non-conference wins last week, but lost star post player Jamie Bresnahan with a knee injury.

“I don’t know how long she will be out,” said head coach Matt Nilsen. “She got hurt in our 50-38 win at Shakopee [Jan. 4] and missed our game with Duluth East.”

Even without Bresnahan, the Hornets were able to win 47-34 at Duluth East Jan. 8.

Sophomore guard M.C. McGrory led Edina in that game, scoring 16 points and grabbing six rebounds.

Katybeth Biewen added 10 points for Edina and Madeline Rodriguez scored seven points.

In the Jan. 4 game with Shakopee, the Sabers lost their post player to a knee injury in the first half. Bresnahan also injured her knee, but still managed to score 15 points.

Biewen led the Hornets with a 21-

point effort and Rodriguez added eight points.

Aside from battling injuries – Edina had already lost Lindsay Johnson before Bresnahan was hurt – the Hornets (9-3) have had a positive season thus far.

Next for the Hornets is a non-conference game with the Maple Grove Crimson at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 14, at the Edina High School gym.

“Maple Grove has three players who have accepted college scholarship offers,” said Nilsen. “We know they are an excellent team.”

Speaking of excellent teams, Nilsen has been keeping an eye on the other teams in the Lake Conference in preparation for the conference portion of the schedule.

Hopkins (13-0) is ranked first in the state in Class 4A. Eden Prairie (10-2) and Minnetonka (9-2) are also among the state’s premier teams, and Wayzata (7-4) isn’t far behind.

The Hornets will open conference play Jan. 25 at Hopkins.

Holy Angels jumped to a three-goal lead over Edina in a prep boys hockey game Jan. 7 at Richfield Ice Arena.

The Stars were still in the driver’s seat at the start of the third period, then the Hornets caught fire and scored four goals to win 5-4.

“We stood around for a period and a half,” said Edina head coach Curt Giles.

“Then we finally started moving our feet, and that made a big difference.”

Matt Everson scored in the second period to cut Holy Angels’ lead to 3-1.

In the third period, it took Edina eight minutes to get on the board.

Michael Sit scored to make the score 3-2, and then Jake Sampson scored to tie the game.

After Holy Angels regained the lead 43, the Hornets got goals from Ben Walker and Steven Fogarty to put the win in the book.

Fogarty and Sampson were top playmakers for Edina with two assists each.

Edina goaltender Connor Girard got the win with 23 saves.

“Connor has had some injury problems, but he’s feeling better now,” said Giles. “Against Holy Angles, he was at the top of his game.”

Edina is looking forward to jumping into the Lake Conference portion of the schedule. The Hornets will play Wayzata at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 20 at Braemar Arena.

Girls hockey Edina High’s girls hockey squad improved to 2-0 in the Lake Conference and 15-2 overall with a 6-0 victory over Hopkins Jan. 8 at Minnetonka Ice Arena.

The Hornets got two goals each from senior forwards Sami Reber and Christie Brauer. Sophomore Nicole Rash and senior Hannah Bruns also scored.

Maddie Dahl made 13 saves, including nine in the second period, to record the win in goal.

Edina put 39 shots on Hopkins’ net.

Hopkins goalie Hayley Nybo had 18 saves in the third period and 33 for the game.

Next for Edina is a 7:30 p.m. game against Stillwater Thursday, Jan. 13, at St. Croix Rec Center.

Bud Sorem’s love for Edina hockey made him a hall-of-famer In all the years I have covered Edina sports, I can’t remember anyone more passionate about hockey than Bud Sorem.

Elected to the Edina High Athletic Hall of Fame in 2000, Sorem coached many of Edina’s top stars in traveling hockey. And he coached them well. His credits included two national Bantam championships, plus numerous state championships.

Sorem taught Bill Nyrop how to play the game, and Nyrop became an NHL All-Star with the Montreal Canadiens.

He also taught the likes of Bobby Krieger and Dave

JOHN SHERMAN Edina Sun-Current Sports Editor

Otness, who are members of the Edina Hall of Fame.

For the last 2 1/2 years of his life, Sorem lived at the Colony in Eden Prairie. He died Jan. 5. Complications developed after Sorem took a fall.

Sorem was 89 years old when he passed away.

His grandson, Blake Sorem, said, “When someone

reaches that age, you can lose them at any time. My grandfather had a stroke 2 1/2 years ago. Lately, he had been doing pretty well, and I thought we might have five more years with him.”

Life-long booster Bud Sorem’s involvement in youth hockey dates to the 1960s.

In that era, coaches did it all, including shoveling off outdoor rinks for practice.

Sorem was good with the shovel and great behind the bench.

In practice, Sorem taught fundamentals so that players moving up from Bantams to

the junior varsity and varsity were game-ready.

Later in life, Sorem shared his love for the game with his grandsons, Blake and Jeff.

Blake played hockey for Eden Prairie and Jeff was captain of the Edina High School team.

“My grandfather was my hero,” said Blake Sorem.

“One thing I noticed was the respect people had for him.

He owned a food brokerage company that he built from the ground up. His employees included many former Edina athletes.”

Services Thursday A

memorial

service

in

Sorem’s honor will be held at 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 13, at Mount Olivet Church in south Minneapolis.

Lunch will be served, and then the burial will take place at Fort Snelling National Cemetery. Sorem was a World War II veteran.

Two Sorem boys, Bud’s great grandsons, are now playing youth hockey. I suspect his legacy will live through many generations of Sorems at Braemar Arena.

All of them will hear stories about how Bud was one of the pioneers, one of the volunteers who built Edina youth hockey.
