GAZETTE

April 2011

To the Editor:

         Thank you for sharing Allan and covering the gift of the Saint John's Bible Heritage Edition in such a celebratory way.  I hope you always feel welcome to enjoy the Bible with us.

         Kathie Brown, President/Principal

         Holy Family Catholic High School

         Victoria, Minnesota

 

To the Editor:

         Just a note of thanks for the two-page spread on the Lake Wasserman carp removal project in your March edition.  It's a great example of how the media and the District can work together to educate the public about our water quality programs.  With the help of your contributor Kurt Zuppke, you had a nice assortment of photos as well.  I hope you continue to come to the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District as a resource on water quality matters.  I'll do my best to help.

         Telly Mamaye, MCWD, Communications Manager

         Deephaven, Minnesota

 

To the Editor:

         Joyce Schneider has moved to Auburn Courts in Chaska and I'm sending you her new address.  She really enjoys the Gazette each month.  Thank you very much.

To the Editor:

         I was at a shower to Ethel and Pete Nelson's daughter and I continue to be aghast at the horror of their house falling down around them in every way.  How can this happen to our neighbors in our great town of Victoria?  Will you continue to cover that story, dear Sue?  They need our help.  They have had far more than anyone should have to bear with things beyond their control that happened because of this sewer project.  Where is the responsibility of government, banks, and insurance companies when we trust they'll help us?

         Attaching a short obit for Dale Palmatier.  I think it will be in the StarTrib this weekend.  Maybe you will kindly put a notice in your wonderful Gazette.

         Stopped in today to see Father Larry Blake at St. Joe's in Waconia and didn't realize he was in Iraq already.  I had heard he was deployed.  He, too, is in my prayers.

         Your paper is wonderful and I really enjoyed your words on the Old Log Theater acting and why we each do what we do.  We're glad you love your job and that you are so good at it!

         Have joy with your parents in Texas.  First things first, dear Sue, as you know.  As wonderful Bill Holm wrote in Black Piano, "Play your own song.  Now."

         Love,  Lydia Holsten

         Victoria, Minnesota

 

To the Editor:

         Hi, Sue.  Your paper is great.  I so enjoy reading it.  I usually don't look for the fishhook -- too busy reading -- but today decided to challenge myself and found it in Snoopy's arm of the MetLife ad.

EDITOR'S NOTE:  That wasn't the hook, as you will see in this month's column.  And now there's another one waiting for you!

 

To the Editor:

         Thank you for running with the carp removal story.  Water usage and quality are going to become increasingly important as Victoria grows.  Everyone in our community can contribute.  Great job!

         Kurt Zuppke

To the Editor:

         Ice skating was never my forte, not even roller skates.  Ice skates always made my ankles go sideways.  With roller skates I land on my hinder.  I had roller skates when I was about 8 and the dumb things had nothing on the toe area to step on so I can stop skating.  They went over my shoes.  I went down the hall taking little steps.  I was lucky that we had two closets across from each other in our hall.  I grabbed the door knobs from both sides.  The knobs would keep turning and I'd keep dancing till I landed on the linoleum floor.  At least I could get up.  Now with my dropped foot, and having glazed tile in my apartment bathroom, if hand cream gets slobbered on it or a splash of water, I go skating and can't get back up if I fall.
