Roberts Family Funeral Home, Forest Lake, has announced plans to offer a Grief Support Group. The effort is a partnership with The Center for Grief, Loss and Transition, a counseling and therapy center in St. Paul. A 10-week curriculum will start on March 31 at the Roberts Family Funeral Home, 555 SW Centennial Drive. “Working with such a credible resource is significant in helping those who are struggling with the death of a loved one,” said Tim Tarmann, funeral director. The group will be led Lee Erickson, a therapist with the center. “This will be beneficial to many in the Forest Lake area, it will be a chance for people to remove themselves from isolation that grief can cause and be with others who have a sense of what they are going through,” Erickson said. For more information, or to register, call the funeral home at 651-464-4422.

 Every Friday morning for more than 10 years, Jeff Lynn has eaten breakfast at the Scandia Calf-“A.”
Holly Beyl reached a milestone as a restaurant owner on Friday as her “Scandia Calf-A” served its 1 millionth egg. Jeff Lynn was the lucky customer. He has been coming to the cafe almost every Friday for breakfast, but last Friday went home with some special gifts in honor of the occasion. The owner is pictured standing in the center with two of her wait staff. At left is Amie Kaiser, while Mary Rochel is on the far right. The Scandia Cafe has been serving up plates of eggs and other meals since Oct. 1, 1987.
