y 1 Councilmember Makowske reported that reservations about how the above W 2 could be accomplished led to the direction she had received from Society members during their previous meeting to proceed slow. She. also 4 reported there had been a great deal of interest in having the Society 5 sponsor a booth at the VillageFest and in having an article in the next 6 Newsletter which gave suggestions on how residents should go about 7 writing their own family histories which they could turn in at the booth 8 with family photos attached or to which they could attach photos taken 9 at the booth. The perception was that by talking to residents who come 10 to the booth the Society would be able to get a good feel for the kind 11 of residents who live in St. Anthony. Councilmember Makowske told the 12 Councilmembers the Society perceived their booth might even be a draw 13 for people who might otherwise not care to participate in the Fest. 14 The .Councilmember then drew attention to the document Mayor Sundland had 15 obtained which indicated the Village had celebrated its 100th birthday 16 in 1948 although there had been some question whether St. Anthony was 17 actually a township rather than the Village which had been established 18 that year. 19 The Councilmember indicated that a "trial run" had been made of the 20 transcription of one oral history which had been taken by Ruth Harris 21 for which the transcription costs had been only $35.00. She said she 22 had submitted the bill to the City but realized the Society would have 23 to begin some fund raising efforts to defray future costs of this 24 nature. * One of St. Anthony's First Mayor's Grandsons Developing Slide 6 Presentation of Photos Relating to Early History of Village 27 Councilmember Makowske reported spending an evening with Russell Pahl,. 28 whose grandfather was Theodore Pahl, after whom one of the early 29 streets in the Village was named, where she saw photos of 32nd Avenue 30 which early in the community's existence was called "Roller Coaster 31 Road. " She also mentioned that at one time marijuana grew freely in St. 32 Anthony and kids used the stalks as spears during play. A video tape 33 of Mr. Pahl's presentation has been given ,to the Society, she said. A 34 similar tape of photos Frank Gregory had in his possession had also been 35 donated to her committee, she said. These illustrate Village history 36 during the era from 1938 to 1943 . 37 Sue VanderHeyden and Councilmember Makowske Attend March 15th RCLLG 38 Meeting on Rubbish 39 Both attendees were in agreement that they had learned little more than 40 had already been presented to the City although they had heard more 41 about what other communities are doing concerning the hauling of solid 42 waste and recyclables. 43 Village Cleanup to be Conducted by Waste Management Weekend of April 44 29th • 9
