‘Golden Valley’s Historian’ cultivates local historical society BY SUE WEBBER • CONTRIBUTING WRITER Don Anderson has well earned the title of “Golden Valley’s Historian,” given to him several years ago by a Rotary colleague. For the last 22 years, he has voluntarily worked to expand the Golden Valley Historical Society from 29 to 190 members, and its treasury from $200 to a net worth of $500,000, plus ownership of the oldest church in Golden Valley. The society began in 1973 with Dorothy and Fred Wandersee at the helm. Dorothy had a degree in history, and her husband was the son of a contractor who built Golden Valley’s first village hall. Archives at that time were stored in boxes at the Wandersee’s house. By 1992, the Wandersees were both in ill health and it was clear that the Historical Society was floundering, so several members met with then-Mayor Mary Anderson (Don’s wife) to work on some options. Don, who had just retired from Edina Realty, attended the meeting also, at Mary’s request. “I was impressed with what the society had done,” Don Anderson said. “I told them I was willing to become a member.” He was appointed secretary and began booking monthly programs, compiling board agendas and working to rebuild the organization with a monthly newsletter and promoting member tours. In 1997, the Historical Society bought the Little White Church in the Valley, at 6731 Golden Valley Road, with the intention of transforming it into a museum. The church, built in 1882, housed an interdenominational congregation until 1907; a Methodist church from 1907-1960; and the Christian Science Society from 1960-1997. “Before we got around to doing that [working on the museum], people kept coming to us and telling us that the church was so cute,

Volunteer work becomes post-retirement career for couple
Shirley, above, and Bob Schon of Plymouth have been longtime volunteers at Northport Elementary School in Brooklyn Center. (Submitted photos) BY SUE WEBBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER Bob Schon began working as a volunteer soon after he retired from a 32-year career with Northwest Airlines in 1990. “I traveled all over the world with the airlines,” he said. “We’ve seen almost every country and all 50 states. Now we’re doing local things. My wife Shirley and I are both 83, and we do most everything together.” The couple, married for 63 years, have volunteered together in Robbinsdale Area Schools and also at North Memorial Medical Center in Robbinsdale. “We do some kind of volunteering every day,” Bob said. In the Robbinsdale elementary schools, they started at Meadow Lake, spent a year at New Hope Elementary, went back to Meadow Lake and then to Northport, Schon said. “Since 1993, Bob has been a dedicated volunteer with Robbinsdale Area Schools, touching the hearts and enriching the lives of countless children,” said Jill Kaufman, coordinator of District 281’s Volunteers In Partnership program. “As a reading tutor with young learners who need extra encouragement and support, Bob prepares them for success.” His impact “goes beyond building academic skills,” according to Kaufman. “Bob’s ability to nurture, develop rapport and convey a sense of genuine car-
ing for each student he tutors has a profound impact on young lives,” she said. “It is a joy to see students flock to him when he enters the school.” Shirley Schon is “just as impactful as he is,” Kaufman said. Added Bob, “The kids always call her ‘Mrs. S.’” Though the Schons’ tutoring work has been cut back some for the last two years because of Shirley’s health concerns, they still work with kids in the schools. “This year we did ‘pumpkin math’ at Northport,” Schon said, explaining that fifth-graders at the school start with real pumpkins and are asked to guess 20 things about them, such as weight, size and number of seeds inside. Then they weigh the pumpkins, cut into them and count out the seeds. “We help with Special Persons Day, and also at carnivals,” Schon added. Because the Schons have no children or grandchildren of their own, the schoolchildren they work with have a special impact on the couple, Bob Schon said. “A lot of them have many siblings and may not have grandparents,” he said. “I was kind of like the school grandpa. I’d ask them what they did last week. They’re not used to anyone sitting and listening to their answers. The kids are the greatest. They’ve got a lot of love to give, and we give a lot of love back.” Twice a month, the Schons volunteer at North Ridge Care Center in New
Hope, where they help with bingo. Sometimes they go on daytime bus trips with senior organizations. The two have done pew maintenance at Valley Community Presbyterian Church in Golden Valley for the last 20 years. At North Memorial Medical Center, the Schons have spent the last 18 years working for four hours each Tuesday in the Patient Care Center, where they help the nurses. For Shirley, her favorite volunteer activity is “whatever I’m doing at the time.” Bob also is a volunteer and past local chapter president for AARP and for the Minneapolis North Memorial Medical Center’s Mended Hearts, affiliated with the American Heart Association. After suffering a heart attack and undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery 32 years ago at the age of 51, Schon quit smoking, started exercising and eating healthy foods. Now, as part of the Heart Center Volunteer Program that he created with 11 other people, he visits with hospital patients who have had a heart attack or open-heart surgery. “I’m one of the longest-living patients with a five-way bypass,” Schon said. “I have a positive attitude when I talk to heart patients. I just start talking to them about how important it is to have a positive attitude. They tell me their stories and my calling is to support them.” He spends 90 minutes at Lifetime Fitness in New Hope each morning, Schon
said. The commitment to volunteering wasn’t a value he learned at home, Schon said. His parents were poor and both worked. “There was no time to volunteer,” he said. “They worked through the Depression. They raised chickens and had a big garden and sold what they raised.” He was born at home in Robbinsdale, and his parents paid the doctor with twodozen eggs and two chickens, he said. Bob Schon, who has a degree in business administration from the University of Minnesota, is treasurer of the Heart Club at North Memorial Medical Center. He formerly was on the board for Northwest Hennepin Human Services for six years, and now he serves on the finance committee at the Plymouth cooperative where he and Shirley have lived for the past 12 years. Shirley and Bob met at Robbinsdale High School. “She asked me out at Homecoming in our senior year, and proposed to me three years later,” Bob said. Shirley had a 42-year career at IDS prior to retiring. The Schons have their lives well organized. “We plan our menus by the week,” said Bob, who does much of the cooking. “We have a list every day for where we’re going to go and what time we’ll be leaving.”

Columbia Heights Sister Cities Committee maintains Polish ties BY SUE WEBBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER The seeds of Columbia Heights’ Sister City relationship with Lomianki, Poland, were planted 47 years before the partnership was established in 1991. In 1944, a plane of Allied fliers was shot down during the Warsaw uprising, near Lomianki. The brother of a longtime Columbia Heights resident was on that mission. In 1987, the people of Lomianki erected a monument in memory of the American flyers that lost their lives. In 1989, families of the crewmembers were invited to attend the yearly memorial service at the monument. Among the attendees was Bernard Szymczak of Columbia Heights, the brother of the gunner who died when the plane went down. The same year, Columbia Heights resident Dolores Strand initiated an effort to establish a sister city partnership for Columbia Heights. A citywide survey of residents revealed support for a sister city in Poland. “Polish people responded and said they would work for it; they wanted to be involved,” Strand said. “It has been so significant to have a core of volunteers from square one. The majority are of Polish descent, but we welcome non-Poles and non-Columbia Heights residents, too.” After conferring with Szymczak about his trip to Lomianki, it was determined that the two cities would be compatible, and the partnership was formally established in May 1991. Lomianki has 16,374 people; Columbia Heights has a population of 19,496. The Sister Cities committee in Columbia Heights is a group of volunteers dedicated to encouraging and promoting the exchange of cultural, social, economic and political traditions, and enabling understanding, appreciation and friendship between residents of the two cities. Strand, a Realtor and the group’s founding member, has been co-chair of the organization since it began. Gloria Bergstrom, a retired teacher from New Brighton, currently serves as the other co-chair. The city of Lomianki renamed one of its streets “Columbia Heights Boulevard,” and in 1994, Columbia Heights
Gloria Bergstrom, left, and Dolores Strand are co-chairs of the Sister Cities Committee in Columbia Heights (Submitted photo) renamed one of its parks Lomianki Park. A flower garden at the park is planted with red and white impatiens, the colors of the Polish flag. A group from Columbia Heights traveled to Lomianki in 1998, and a delegation from Poland visited Columbia Heights in 2003. In September 2005, 17 Sister City members from Columbia Heights spent five days visiting Lomianki as part of a 10-day tour of Poland. “It was kind of a neat deal; it was a fruitful trip,” said Columbia Heights Mayor Gary Peterson, who was a member of the group. “I can’t speak Polish or read it, but I still get cards from the mayor there.” The committee also has organized student exchanges between Columbia Heights and Lomianki. Nine students and two chaperones from Columbia Heights traveled to Lomianki in 2008 for a two-week visit. In 2009, nine Polish students and two chaperones visited Columbia Heights for 12 days. Strand, who said her interest in and involvement with the project has “taken over her life,” has visited Poland nine times. “I’m not even Polish,” she said. “My
father was Spanish, and my mother was Italian. I just admire the Polish people. They have such a spirit of independence and pride. We have learned so much about the history of their country.” Two of Strand’s grandchildren have traveled to Poland and one is a volunteer in Poland this summer, teaching English. “We just love having the young people involved,” Strand said. A number of other residents have also made the trip, always paying their own expenses. One, a retired teacher, just returned from six weeks in Poland at his own expense, where he taught English in a K-12 school. Another member, a nurse, volunteered in children’s homes at her own expense. “We get no reimbursement from the city,” Strand said. “We raise all our own funds.” Interest has been maintained so that the committee now has a membership of 101 people, Strand said. “We’ve had wonderful, wonderful volunteers,” she said. “We’ve had wonderful community spirit. It puts Columbia Heights on the map a little bit.” Since the relationship began, the
Sister Cities Committee in Columbia Heights has focused on helping a children’s hospital a few miles from Lomianki. “Our group has been very generous with them,” Strand said. The Columbia Heights Sister Cities Committee raised $10,700 to help the hospital purchase a van for transporting the children. Two major projects now include translation of a World War II Polish document into English, plus a police exchange of Columbia Heights Police officers going to Poland in 2015, and Polish officers coming to Columbia Heights in 2016. “Our police department is so enthusiastic about this,” Strand said. “We’ve had excellent cooperation from the chief and officers.” Mayor Peterson, all of the city’s council members and city manager belong to the Sister Cities committee. “We’ve had excellent cooperation,” Strand said. Peterson acknowledged that a sister city relationship “takes some people who have an interest in it.” “You reach out on your own, and you can get involved as little or as much as you want,” Peterson said. “We’ve got a Polish contingent in Columbia Heights, and this has brought that community together, though you don’t have to be Polish to be involved in it.” Strand’s involvement has led to her being co-coordinator of the state’s Sister City program. She also is a member of the Polish American Cultural Institute of Minnesota (PACIM), which honored her in 2012 with an award given to persons who have made outstanding contributions to Polish culture. “It was the first time they recognized a non-Pole,” Strand said. The city of Minneapolis will host the national Sister Cities conference next year, and Strand has been asked to be on the planning committee. The Sister Cities Committee is open to all, and you don’t have to be Polish or live in Columbia Heights to join. Meetings are at 1 p.m. on the second Tuesday of the month (except July and December) at City Hall. Information: Dolores Strand, 763571-1709, or Gloria Bergstrom, 651633-0506.

Society FROM PAGE 1 could they get married in it,� Anderson said. As a result, the Historical Society branched out into the wedding hosting business because people kept calling to book the church. “I became the sales department of the society, showing potential brides and grooms the historic church,� Anderson said. Now, the Historical Society rents the church for about 40 weddings each fiscal year, a total of 176 weddings since the tradition began. Fourteen more weddings have been booked at the church so far in 2014. “We have a ‘stable’ of licensed officiants in Minnesota who are willing to do their thing for couples having a wedding at the historic church,� Anderson said. “It’s fun; I really enjoy working with the young people. I attend many of the weddings myself.� A recent expansion project at the church has added 1,000 square feet and is expected to be completed by July. The space will be used for a museum. “It will take a year to put in furnishings to display the items,� Anderson said. “We’re aiming at having an active museum for Golden Valley in the near future. An exhibit committee has been formed to research and plan it. We will need a volunteer group to attend the museum certain hours and certain days.� Another of the Historical Society’s projects is the distribution of secondgeneration street signs. The city’s Public Works Department began to replace street signs on the east side of Golden Valley and has given the old ones to the society over the last two years. Residents who now live or formerly lived on a par-
ticular street may buy the signs for nostalgia. “We’ve been selling them continuously, especially during the holidays,� Anderson said. Requests have come from California, Texas, Louisiana, Florida, New York City and Wisconsin, and emails have come from Golden Valley High School alumni after the signs’ availability was posted on Facebook, he said. “We’ve made $6,600 selling the signs for $25 apiece, and have mailed a lot of signs around the country,� Anderson said. Anderson was recognized as the 2011 Citizen of the Year by the Rotary Club of Golden Valley for his contributions to public service in the city. Anderson has served the city of Golden Valley on its Building Board of Review and also on the Human Services Foundation. He is a charter member of the Rotary Club of Golden Valley, where he has maintained a 42-year perfect attendance record. Anderson also was presented with the city’s Envision Award in 2011, an honor given to residents who have made a difference in the city’s quality of life. As co-chair of the Envision Steering Committee, Anderson was instrumental in bringing hundreds of citizens together to share their desires for the city’s future. He then followed through by leading and participating in several Envision initiatives to make these ideas a reality. Anderson was active on a committee promoting a partnership of the Historical Society and the Golden Valley Rotary Club in hiring a professional videographer in 2003 to create a VHS tape history of the city of Golden Valley to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Rotary Club. Some years ago, Nancy Azzam, a member of the Historical Society, likened Anderson to the wizard in “The

We have a hard time saying no to Don. Some of us call him ‘The Don.’ He is a true leader with good ideas and he can get people to join in.� When Anderson was working on Golden Valley’s 135th anniversary celebration committee, Azzam said, “I can’t imagine what anyone did for the first 75 years in Golden Valley without Don Anderson to lead the way.� A 56-year resident of Golden Valley, Anderson is a lifelong resident of the
Minneapolis area, a graduate of West High School and attended the University of Minnesota and Hamline University. He served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War. After college, he began a full-time real estate career. He was sales manager for several years at Resop Realty, and then worked at Edina Realty from 1973 until he retired in 1989. Following in his tradition of being president or head of every organization of which he has been a member, Anderson was commander of the St. Paul Sail and Power Squad during the years when he and Mary had a 36-foot Gibson houseboat on the Mississippi River.

Volunteers help senior citizen groups keep moving, growing BY SUE WEBBER CONTRIBUTING WRITER Volunteers are an integral part of the senior citizen organizations in suburbs around the Twin Cities. In Eagan, the Eagan 55 plus/Senior volunteers contributed a total of 4,479 volunteer hours during 2013, according to Loudi Rivamonte, coordinator of that city’s 55 plus/Seniors program. “These hours helped support community-wide events, programs and activities for the 55 plus/Seniors,” Rivamonte said. In 2013, a total of 6,179 participants visited the Lone Oak Room at the Eagan Senior Center, and 10,797 participants attended Eagan 55 plus/Senior programs. Now, there are 28 Lone Oak Room Host volunteers and many others who volunteer for special events and activities. “Without volunteers, these numbers would be difficult to attain,” Rivamonte Burnsville resident Wanda Trousil has been an active volunteer at that city’s Senior Center since observed. 2000. She is a member of the center’s advisory council, fills in as the front-desk receptionist Joyce Swedean, chair of the Eagan 55 several times a week and also works in the library.

It’s a good organization. Loudi [Rivamonte] helps a lot with planning and making sure things don’t overlap.” Swedean said she began looking for a new volunteer activity after she retired from a 30-year career with Lutheran Brotherhood. “I did volunteer church work, then I worked full-time for a church school in Richfield, retired again, and now I’m working part-time with Edina Realty,” Members of the Eagan 55 plus/Senior board of directors are, from left, Jerry Spinner, Margaret she said.

Fun and Friendship group, which fixes meals twice a month and volunteers at the bake sales. “I love to help out at the Burnsville ice cream social and Fire Muster,” she said. Trousil said her volunteer career started when she lived in Bloomington and a friend advised her to get involved with the senior center there. “I volunteered to help in the kitchen,” Trousil said. A native of Osakis, Minn., Trousil is the mother of three sons and has two granddaughters, with another expected soon. Growing up, she recalls selling poppies for the American Legion. Later, she helped out at the VFW. “My mother was a great one for telling us we had to give something back,” Trousil said. Now, in addition to giving back, she finds time to exercise three times a week, and also do some reading. Michele Starkey, program coordinator for the Burnsville Senior Center, said Trousil is one of about 230 volunteers at the center, which had 20,000 visits from area senior citizens last year. “Wanda’s got her fingers in a lot of different things,” Starkey said. “She pops popcorn; she wraps gifts for the Santa to Senior project. She’s one of the people we just couldn’t do without.” Seniors who “hang around and have opinions” are among those chosen to serve on the center’s 15-member advisory council, which meets monthly, according to Starkey. “I put their opinions to work,” Starkey said. “These are people who want to be a little more involved.” Similarly, senior citizens who are interested in getting more involved are those who help out at the reception desk, as Trousil does. Seniors work half a day at a time, once or twice a month, Starkey said, adding that being at the reception desk is a great way for seniors to get an introduction to other activities and “springboard into other things.” “All of these seniors multi-task, and they love it,” Starkey said. “Keeping them busy is part of my job.” For more information, or to become a volunteer: In Eagan, contact Loudi Rivamonte at 651-675-5515, or lrivamonte@ cityofeagan.com.
