A Great Golf Gaff by Tom Stumpf, Cowboy Correspondent.  “There has been a 15-or-so-year tradition at St. Victoria that has become almost legendary in the annals of the great pastime known as pasture pool.  The parish choir holds a golf tournament in the scramble format, with any an all skill levels invited.”

From the Beginning by Tom Abts, Deer Run Golf Pro.  “The first column I wrote for the Gazette back in the 1990’s was about Scottish shepherds.  I wanted to make the point that golf was not a game of rich snobs, but rather a game that originated with Scottish shepherds.”

Teaching Our Kids to Love by Pastor Kevin Dibbley, Waterbrooke Christian Church.  “My wife and I just had the joy of having our family visiting from out of town.  Our daughter Lauren and her husband Diego live in Honduras.  Our daughter Kathy and her husband Steve and our two-year old granddaughter Corrie live in Toronto.”

Lina Unleashed by Robin Kelleher, Burnsville, MN.  “Lina chronicles the day to day, often hilarious, struggles of her first two years with a clueless and ditzy Momma.  Momma means well but lacks common and other sense, especially when it comes to caring for her little dog.”

First Place for Paige by Gregg Geske.  “Daughter Paige caught the 1st Place northern in Chanhassen’s July 4th Fishing Contest held on Lake Ann.  It was 30.5 inches and 8.5 pounds.”

Outsiders Steal Victoria Cup at Coot Open by Mike Wartman.  “How they were able to pass the rigid standards and entry guidelines is still a puzzle.”

Lions Weekend a Coupling Event by Sue Orsen, The Victoria Gazette.  “Each year at the Victoria Lions Tournament Weekend, a theme seems to arise among the people who come to watch ballgames, work the concessions, eat delicious burgers, brats, and hotdogs, and enjoy sweet summertime at Lions Park.  Click on Front Page.

My Selfies in Victoria by Mike Wartman, Former Resident of Victoria.  “A millennial obsession with self and selfies leaves me out of the obsession, as I am not a millennial and I am borderline camera phone incompetent.”

Victoria’s Library Log by Kathy Bognanni, Branch Manager.  “Discover great books at the library and sign up for personalized reading lists.  Entr drawings for prizes.  Bring in your technology questions.”

Historic Fort Snelling by Sue Orsen.  “It was close to 90 degrees and we wondered how the men in the military dress parade and those playing fie and drum could withstand their heavy uniforms, most likely woolen.”
