Vaarinkallio (meaning "grandfather's rock") comes from story of Juho Sutinen, who owned the area around Vastuulahti. Juho was a former worker at Juuka Ahmovaara and he bought the land by loaning the money from his place of work in early 1900s. Juho Sutinen married Leena Mustonen, and together they worked hard to clear the land around this area for farming. It was particularly rocky and there were deep swamps that they had to clear for growing grain.

Juho and Leena's lives were poor and modest, but with faith as their foundation there was hope for a better future. Juho taught Sunday school for the children in the village, and many guests from far and wide stayed with the family; and as per the Finnish tradition, signed the family's guestbook as a token of appreciation.

Unpredictable weather and rocky soil were one of many challenges faced by the Sutinen family. Eemeli, their first children, died early. Another child, Erkki, who was studying at a remote school and who the family had great expectations, died at the beginning of the Winter War. Prior to that, Juho died of diabetes before his 60-year-old celebration.
