Roger Olson retired from the grocery business after more than 50 years in the industry. The last 21 years of his career were spent as the
manager at Almsted’s Fresh Market in Crystal.
Almsted’s store manager retires
Saying goodbye to a vocation wasn’t easy, but it was time
By RAYMOND T. RIVARD
ray.rivard@apgecm.com
After more than 50 years in the
grocery industry, Roger Olson re-
tired Aug. 20.
His last stop on the food circuit
was at Almsted’s Fresh Market in
Crystal where he spent the past 21
years as that store’s manager.
Hired by Jim Almsted to be his
manager at the Crystal venue, he
considered Olson more than just
an employee.
He was a friend and partner, first
and foremost.
“Roger has been outstanding. I
don’t want to call him an employ-
ee, he’s been more of a partner. I
couldn’t have made it without him.
Nobody ever makes it alone,” Alm-
sted said.
Olson started in the business as a
16-year-old working at the Knoll-
wood Red Owl. During his time
at that store, Olson learned the
lessons that would serve him well
across his long career.
“I worked (at the Red Owl) when
in high school. I worked overnights
when I was going to college. I drove
a truck full-time, in addition to
working at Red Owl overnights,” he
said. “There was a couple of years
(SUBMITTED PHOTO)
I basically didn’t sleep.”
In addition to the jobs he held,
he also utilized what free time he
had to play ball during the summer.
In the ensuing years, Olson
worked at several other stores,
as well as a short stint driving an
ice cream truck before he met Jim
Almsted.
“When Red Owl sold out to
SuperValu, the SuperValu people
came to me and said, ‘how would
you like to buy a store?’” Almsted
remembered. “I had worked at Red

sees kindergarten
enrollment spike
District’s Student Services
department attributes growth
to ‘redshirting’ in previous year
By ALAINA ROOKER
alaina.rooker@apgecm.com
More students are en-
tering kindergarten in
the Robbinsdale School
District this fall than the
previous year, according
to district officials shortly
before the school year be-
gan.
Meghan Hickey, Dis-
trict 281’s director of
student services, said the
incoming Class of 2034
was currently 70 students
above the number of kin-
dergarteners enrolled in
the previous school year.
In general, public school
enrollment trended down-
ward statewide in the pan-
demic year, as parents opt-
ed to homeschool or delay
education. According to
the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Education, public
school enrollment across
the state decreased by 2%,
meaning there were 17,000
fewer enrolled students in
2020-2021 than there were
in 2019-2020. The depart-
ment reported even lower
numbers among incoming
kindergarteners, with an
8% decrease in enrollment.
Hickey called the influx
of young students in Rob-
binsdale this fall “a big
change,” but nothing out
of the district’s range, and
fewer in number than the
2019-2020 class. Unless
a significant number of
last-minute enrollments
occurred, Hickey said ac-
tual numbers would stay
pretty faithful to projec-
tions made by her depart-
ment in January.

Owl prior to that and I ran all of their
corporate stores. Roger worked in one of
those stores, so I knew him. When I de-
cided to buy the store, I recruited Roger
to come work for me and help us get the
company started.”
The two began their professional rela-
tionship on Halloween 1989 when Olson
was hired to work at Almsted’s St. Louis
park store.
Olson described how the week prior to
Almsted taking over as owner of the St.
Louis Park store, he had put together a
staff so that “when Jim assumed owner-
ship we were ready to go,” Olson said.
“I worked for him the rest of my career
until I retired last week,” he added.
Spending about 10 years at the St. Louis
Park store, Olson said that when Almsted
had the chance to buy the Crystal store,
he tagged Olson to manage it.
In all, the two were together for 32 years.
Almsted said it was Olson’s steady hand
and knowledge of the business that made
for the perfect mix in Crystal.
“We’re just a small neighborhood store
and most of the business comes from
within a three- or four-mile radius of the
store,” Almsted said of the store in Crys-
tal. “Roger has been involved in a lot of
the charities, working with churches and
all the fundraisers. He’s worked with the
Crystal Business Council and with others
to provide donations.”

Roger Olson retired from the grocery business after more than 50 years in the industry. The last 21
years of his career were spent as the manager at Almsted’s Fresh Market in Crystal.
Evolving industry
Olson saw the industry move from the
days when stores focused on personal ser-
vice, to one that would evolve into a focus
of “self-service,” with customers bagging
their own items and carrying their items
to their own vehicle.
When Olson first started working in
grocery stores, personnel would package
just about every item for sale. But he’s also
seen that evolve into an industry focused
more on fresh produce and meats.
“Back in the day, people expected full
service,” Olson said. “You didn’t bag your
own food like now.”
However, as customers’ needs and
wants began to change in the 1980s and
(763) 543-9000

(SUBMITTED PHOTO)
’90s, there was a move toward the “no-
frills” form of shopping, Olson said.
It was also a time of high inflation and
customers were looking for any way to
save a few dollars along the way.
He has also recognized that there has
been a shift in the industry back toward
customer service.
“To me, at the end of the day, it’s still
all about selling groceries to the customer.
When I started in 1970, my first boss, Ev
Green, he was a good man and taught me
a lot about how to treat customers. I think
that stayed with me my whole career. Even
now, 50-plus years later, when I was work-
ing at Crystal, it was still all about taking
care of that customer,” he added.
Getting to know customers and work-
ing closely with his staff over the years
have been a couple of the most rewarding
of experiences, he said.
However, there have been challenges,
too.
Among the most challenging facets of
running a business is finding and holding
the right employees.
“It’s gone in cycles, but just like today,
being short-handed is something we con-
tinue to deal with. The challenge is still
trying to get enough people to operate the
store - finding the key people to be part of
your staff,” he said.
With smaller families and fewer young
people to fill those jobs, the challenges
continue.
“It’s gone in cycles - there are fewer
people to pick from and a lot more com-
petition of others looking for that same
employee,” he said.

Almsted said it was Olson’s leadership
in Crystal and the other stores he man-
aged, that led to success.
The last day
As Olson’s final day at the Crystal store
approached, he said he was asked whether
he wanted a “going away party.”
He said he didn’t.
“But they didn’t listen,” he said.
It turned out better than he anticipated
as he was surprised by the visits of many
people he had known through the years,
some of them being former employees
who got their first job working with Ol-
son.
Almsted said those people came back
because they remembered how they were
treated by Olson.
“I always told my first-time employees:
If you live to be 100, you will always re-
member your first job,” Almsted said.
“I wanted the young people who started
here to someday say, ‘you know, my first
job was at Almsted’s. They treated me
with respect, I learned a lot from them,
they taught me discipline, and certainly
with Roger doing the hiring and manag-
ing, he was a key part of that.”
Many of those returning that day to say
goodbye to Olson had gone on to other
careers after getting a start with Olson.
“By the end of the day, Roger was ex-
hausted,” Almsted said.
For Olson, the emotion was real.
“I’m going to miss my co-workers. That
group of people are the best I’ve ever been
associated with,” he said.
He also has a soft spot in his heart for
the many young people who worked at
the store in Crystal, a group that included
more than just those from a single genera-
tion.
“I don’t say they work for me. We work
together,” he said. “I can’t tell you how
many times over the years where I’ve had
parents come to me and say, ‘I worked for
you a long time ago. It was a great job
for me to have when I was going to high
school. We learned a lot from you and we
want our kids to work for you.’ On one
hand, it makes you feel really old, but then
you’ve made enough of an impression on
the parents. We were positive role models
for them.”
As for leaving the profession, Olson
said, “It’s extremely emotional ... for over
half your life you do something and you
get close to people and the people that
you serve. Most of them have impacted

Expanding on role
models, Olson pointed to
his parents.
Olson said they were
his greatest inspiration.
“It was a different time
in the late ’50s and ’60s
when I grew up. I watched
my parents get up and go
to work every day. That’s
how I was raised. That’s
how my brother and sister
were raised. My parents
were great role models,

of leaving kids in school. It
was like a silent way to fight
back – some control in the
day’s chaos.
Still, on that fateful day,
the innocence of a nation
was forever interrupted.
Never before had we felt so
exposed to acts of violence
in the very place where we
previously felt so safe.
A week later I inter-
viewed a former Waconia
area resident who worked
as a temporary employee
on the 89th floor of the
South Tower. By strange
fate, she normally would
have already been at her
work desk when the first
plane crashed into the
North Tower, but because
a friend had been staying
with her, and taken an ex-
tremely long shower, she
was running late. As she
stood at the base of the
buildings, still 15 minutes
before she was supposed
to be on her floor for work,
she decided she had time
to run into a café to grab a
sandwich. The shower and
decision to grab that sand-
wich may have saved her
life. Just seconds before she
would have jumped on an
elevator to get to the 89th
floor, the North Tower was
hit by the first plane.
The second plane hit
her building just minutes
later. Her only recollection
at that time was running
away from the buildings as
panic ensued. She ended up
three miles away at Union
Square. Many of the peo-

There have been many
lessons learned since the
attacks of Sept. 11. Cer-

were forfeited in the name
of safety. Vulnerabilities of

shockingly obvious. The
idea that the U.S. was an
island immune from terror-
ism was forever shattered.
Enhanced safety protocols
at airports and the creation
of a new federal agency,
Homeland Security, were
both born as a result of
the attacks. And for a few
brief weeks, many people
adjusted priorities as we
all painfully recognized the
precious nature of life.
To a person, we vowed
we would never forget. We
would not forget those who
died. And we would seek
justice in their memory.
Today, 20 years later, it’s
hard to know for sure what
we truly remember and
what has been forgotten.
There have been so many
national tragedies since
then, a ledger is needed just
to keep track.
But 9/11, like the attack
on Pearl Harbor or the as-
sassination of JFK, became
a tragic stopping point in
the young history of our
nation. It has helped define
who we are, what we con-
sider to be truly important,
and how goodness prevails
when we are united.
Do we remember? Do
we truly still feel that pain
from 20 years ago?
For the sake of those
who perished and the na-
tion that has been forever
changed, it is a shared pain
we must remember.

demographers, and Hennepin
County birth records.
Hickey said forecasting accu-
racy was the biggest indicator
of how prepared the district was
for the school year. If actual en-
rollments didn’t match the fore-
cast, than the district would be-
gin the year with an unbalanced
number of staff and resources.
The 2020-2021 school year
had a wide gap between the
forecast and actual enrollment
because the pandemic began
after the forecast was solidified.
Hickey said the district was 250
students short of the estimate.
The shortfall is what motivated
the district to forecast more
conservatively this year, she
said.
Because the forecast for 2021-
2022 is slightly higher than ac-
tual enrollment so far, the larger
group of kindergarteners this
year isn’t concerning district
staff.
“Right now, we have staffing
in place for the kindergarteners
we have,” she said. “Last year,
we had low class sizes, but this
year we’re back to more typi-
cal class sizes, and we’re sitting
right where we want them to be
... really, slightly below where
Waiting out an
unpredictable environment
Hickey said while the increase
in enrolled kindergarteners
could mean the district is begin-
ning to revert to pre-pandemic
enrollment trends, the numbers
did not match a complete re-
turn. She believed parents were
again considering the impact
COVID-19 could have on their
child’s first-ever year of school.
“Many families are still
choosing academic redshirt-
ing,” Hickey said. “So these are
families with students that have
a summer birthday but could
enter school this fall. It’s the
practice of choosing to delay
sending a student to school,
with the idea that hopefully
next year things will be more
predictable.”
Redshirting was also a player
in the 2020-2021 school year,
but it has appeared to carry for-
ward as COVID-19 continues
to spread. Children redshirted
in 2020-2021 may now be en-
tering the public school system,
but students one year younger
are likely being redshirted for
the first time.
Another piece in the enroll-
ment puzzle: homeschooling.
The MDE reported a 50% in-
crease in homeschooling in the
2020-2021 school year, a con-
cept that may remain appealing
at large.
Ultimately, the district is lim-
ited in its ability to track how
many eligible children weren’t
enrolled in a given school year,
Hickey said, and the “why” is
even more difficult.
Larger enrollment slump
As the first day of school
loomed closer, Hickey said en-
rollments had begun to pile in
for the district’s online learning
program, Robbinsdale Virtual
Academy.
“We’re seeing a lot of increase
in that. Hardly any had chosen
it a few weeks prior,” she said.
For families with kindergar-
teners, though, online learning
didn’t appear to be a popular
choice.
“We are seeing very minimal
enrollment there,” Hickey said.
Enrollment, in general, has
been on the decline in the dis-
trict for about 10 years, Hickey
said. Her department believed it
was due to demographic shifts
in a region that is “built-out”
and unable to create many new
housing options.
One promising statistic is an
increase in birth trends in recent
years, she said. The district also
continued to explore opportu-
nities for magnet and language
immersion schools, which con-
tinued to be popular with fami-
lies in the district.

Barrera later added in
an email, “I was satis-
fied with Representative
Omar’s statements be-
cause I believed from her
answers that she cared a
lot about these issues and
was working to help out.”
He said he appreciated
her explanation of the
hurdles facing refugees
and her commitment to
ensuring the Biden ad-
ministration keeps its
word about continuing to
assist people who remain
in Afghanistan.
Omar also addressed
the situation during re-
marks at the beginning of
the town hall meeting.
“It’s been really frus-
trating to see the immense
human tragedy in Afghan-
demic and the social un-
rest in the past year.”
The projects relate to
joblessness, food and
housing insecurity and ac-
cess to health care, Omar
said.
Separately, she said she
helped advance legisla-
tion with $32.5 million for
transportation projects
in the 5th Congressional
District, which includes
Minneapolis and nearby
suburbs. The legislation
would include $5 million
for the Metro F Line, a
bus rapid transit system
that would follow the
Central Avenue corridor
from downtown Minne-

Mall in Blaine; $4.5 mil-

Omar indicated she sup-

larger, more far-reaching
partisan bill. She said she
would push for both “to-

are not prioritizing one
over the other.”
Controversial
positions
She spoke passionately
when asked about her last
re-election campaign and
her progressive policies.

al complex is not the only
one that sort of manipu-

“They don’t say that per-

Robbinsdale Cooper boys soccer

Simple equals success for Hawks
PK goal leads
Cooper over Chaska
By ANTHONY IOZZO
anthony.iozzo@apgecm.com
Cooper boys soccer is off to one
of its best starts since coach Kent
Getchell took over the program
in 2016.
The Hawks (3-0 overall) are
building up some early season
confidence, defeating Heritage
Christian 2-1 on Aug. 26, Chaska
1-0 on Aug. 31 and West Luther-
an 3-1 on Sept. 2.
And the wins are coming de-
spite a few players not being back
and the team only having a few
players who compete at summer
soccer clubs.
That is something that Getchell
said was kind of a shock to see
so early.
“These guys have done a really
good job since last week – starting
to speed the game up, have better
touches and being more consis-
tent on the ball,” he said. “We are
always trying to play the extraor-
dinary, and I keep telling them I
would rather have just average,
just to be consistent.”
The 1-0 win over Chaska was
the perfect example of the team
playing simple with a sequence
that led to a penalty kick.
It took two touches to get the
ball to the left side, and it took two
more touches to get the ball to a
runner near the penalty box. A
Cooper sophomore forward Shadrick Tamba battles for possession near the midfield Aug. 31 in a Metro West Conference game
against Chaska.
few strides later, a foul was called.
Junior midfielder Ean Bjor-
back was able to knock the PK
goal into the lower right of the net
for the lone goal.
“We have the potential to be a
really strong team,” Getchell said.
“We were 0-16 last year. I am ec-
static right now. It is awesome to
see that we are doing so well in this
part of the season.”
One thing that does help is ex-
perience on the back line. A lot
of the good play against Chaska
started in the back with several
potential spots for counters that
just missed connecting.
Senior defenseman Jack Gruel
and Johnny Engwall are two of
the players who played summer

Cooper girls soccer is look-
ing to balance staying com-
petitive with continuing to
get playing time for the entire
roster in 2021.
The reason for this is the
lack of numbers forcing the
decision to combine everyone
on one team instead of hav-
ing varsity and a junior var-
sity squads.
Growth will inevitably

coach Nick Wetherall said.
“We have some very experi-
enced players and had a cou-
ple of kids out there tonight
who have never played in a
competitive soccer game,”
Wetherall said. “Just trying
to figure that out to remain
competitive but have the pro-
gram really improve with the
positivity and the inclusivity
and all of that.”

Armstrong Cooper Girls Fastpitch Association

Name change for youth softball organization

The CA Heat, which has been
around since 1987, has officially
changed its name to the Arm-
strong Cooper Girls Fastpitch
Association.
AC Fastpitch now has a re-
cord number of athletes and
teams with growth from the past
few years. You can visit www.
caheatfastpitch.org for more
information.
Some of the 2021 highlights
from the club was the overall
success for the 12U, 14U and
16U Red teams.
The 16U Red team, which
is coached by Eric Munt, Tom
Lind and Ryan Roth, took run-
ner-up in the Minnesota state
tournament to make nationals,
where the squad finished 3-2
overall.
The 16U Red team also took
fourth in the Richfield tourna-
ment this season.
The 14U Red team was 26-16-
3 overall in 2021, finishing as a
state qualifier runner-up and an
eventual fifth-place finish at the
state tournament, also qualify-
ing for nationals.

part played summer soccer, and

we are reaping the benefits of
that right now,” Getchell said.
Possession is also better than
last season, especially in the mid-
field.
Getchell said that there were
too many long balls out of the
back third in 2020, and led to
turnovers in the midfield.
But in three games in 2021, the
mentality is to play short, con-
trol the ball and move it from
the defensive third to the middle
third without losing it.
“That’s a fun way of playing, Cooper junior midfielder Ean Bjorback (right) celebrates his PK goal with junior

Claire Snapko, Kaidin Camp and
Alyce Madson and defenseman
Jace Herman are some of the ex-
perienced players on the team, and
all can play at a high level.
There are also nine sophomores,
three freshmen and a seventh
grader on the team.
But one of the bonuses at a
school like Cooper is that the pro-
gram is already used to having
the seniors and more experienced
players help the younger ones get
acclimated to the varsity game.
This season, Wetherall said
that this might be the most vo-
cal of the teams he has coached.
Players communicate a lot on the
field, whether it is in practice or
in games.
A lot of explaining is done to
help correct mistakes. A lot of
cheering is done to help bring out
more positive play.
“It’s just a great group of leaders
that we have,” Wetherall said.
Despite an 0-3 start to the sea-
son, the main thing to take in the
early games is to understand what
good play looks like.
The Hawks dropped a 1-0 game
to Rockford on Aug. 28 and 4-0
games to Chaska on Aug. 31 and
to St. Croix Lutheran on Sept. 2 to
open the season.
In the loss to Chaska, the Hawks
nearly made it to the second half
with a scoreless game. And several
goals were on nice strikes that were
tough to defend.
The defense was playing well,
and sophomore goalie Marin
Scherber made several nice saves,
including one where she dove to
her right and punched the ball out
with an outstretched hand.
“That’s the main positive I take

from it – learn how to defend, stay
connected as a team,” Wetherall
said. “It’s not always easy. When
you have inexperienced players,
they might try and chase the ball
more and not stay so connected.”
And for Scherber and freshman
Mia Korstad, who replaced Scher-
ber in the net after a minor injury
on a save attempt, there were many
more positives.
Cooper graduate AJ Jiron was
a four-year starter, which meant
there would be a lot of questions
on who can take over in 2021.
“It was really an unknown, and

that’s a work in progress,” Weth-
erall said. “They are both pretty
new to it, but both stepped up and
jumped in there and did a good
job.”
