The Lions Roar by Sue Orsen/The Victoria Gazette. “Two of the Victoria Lions’ more recent annuals include the second Fish Fry, held this year on April 5th, and their fifth Spring fling, held this year on April 26th. Each was held in the Lions Park Pavilion, which the Lions designed, constructed, and gave to the City of Victoria in 2018.” Click on Front Page. Uniformity and Diversity by Tom Abts, Deer Run Golf Pro. “Don’t worry. I’m not ready to take on that subject as to regarding our society. That gets into the old battle between culture and civilization. This is just about golf.” Busier Than Thou by Pastor Kevin Dibbley, Waterbrooke Christian Church. “Work was meant to be a grace. It is a gift to be enjoyed in serving and benefitting others. It wasn’t meant to become our identity. We were not meant to become boasters of our perpetual busyness.” Hanging Out in Ireland from Nancy Boerboom, Ghent, MN. “It’s been a whirlwind trip. We’ve traveled by plane, train, taxi, train, car, bus, horse drawn carriage, climbed some, and walked a lot. We all kissed the Blarney Stone, though I don’t like heights and I’m not even Irish.” Sheriff’s Office Explorers 2019 awards by Tamera Froemming, Admin Services. “Deputy Dominic Belmares received the Associate Post Advisor of the Year Award. He was nominated for exceptional service and commitment to the Post.” A Day on the Hill by Eric Sieger, Carver County Public Services. “Carver County had a strong showing for the fourth year in a row, as 40 veterans and auxiliary members participated and met at a pre-rally breakfast provided by the Chanhassen American Legion.’ President Trump in MN by Jennifer Carnahan, Chair, Rep. Party of MN. “The forward progress our country has made under his leadership is strong and includes the biggest tax reform in a generation.” Arden Park Restoration by Telly Mamayek, MCWD. “The winter work of this park in the City of Edina included improving the ecological health of Minnehaha Creek which flows through the park.” Ethel Ausink, 101, died April 1st. Georgiana Johnson, 79, died April 21st. Jeff Melby, 50, died April 3rd. Ruth Brune, 96, died April 18th. Consider Biking in May by Pat Stieg, Carver County Public Health Specialist. “May is National Biking Month and some special days are receiving attention, including Bike to School Day and Bike to Work Week.” |

Good Solid Victoria Blood and Spirit by Mike Wartman, Former Resident of Victoria. “The mothers and grandmothers in my life, all of good solid Victoria blood and spirit, taught me so much, as did hundreds of other Victoria women.” A Truly Special Day by Tom Stumpf, Cowboy Correspondent. “Mothers should occupy a very high rung on the ladder of those whom we honor. Mother’s Day helps us recall the spirit of the women who lovingly brought us into the world and allowed us to breathe the warm scents of spring.” Victoria Library Log by Jodi Edstrom, Youth Services Librarian. Some of the program include Grow a Garden Storytime, Toddler Storytime, Tech Tuesday, Fiction and NonFiction Book Clubs. Victoria: The State of Education by Vicki Bont, Resident of Victoria, MN. “The City of Victoria has an astounding variety of ways to educate people. In addition to academic venues, there are athletic, artistic, spiritual, technical, and outstanding outdoor opportunities.’ Snowboarding at Copper Mountain by Kelsey Berquem, Prior Lake, MN. “Local snowboarders, including three from Victoria, competed among the nation’s top competitors at this year’s USASA competition held at Copper Mountain, Colorado.” Spring Has Sprung by Christie Schlueter, Regular Visitor to Victoria. Featured recipes include Balsamic Roasted Red Potatoes with Asparaus, Creamy Cucumber Radish Salad, and Spring Risotto.” Preventing Spring Flooding by Bill Olson, Victoria, MCWD Board of Managers. “We opened Gray’s Bay Dam early because rain, snow, and ice melt from Six Mile Creek, which runs through Victoria to Pierson Lake, were raising Lake Mtka water level.” Ruff Start Rescue by Azure Davis, Founder. “We helped a brave dog recover from a house fire back in January. She suffered serious burns and has made a miraculous recovery.” MN River Floods by Tom Cherveny, Forum News Service. “Officials in Montevideo and Granite Falls are hopeful that the worst is behind them as the river has crested and is ever so slowly receding.” Adopt a Drain by Telly Mamayek, MCWD. “We celebrated Earth Day by inviting residents to participate in Adopt A Drain, which is a new metro-wide program aimed at protecting area lakes, rivers, and wetlands from pollution.” 30 Years Ago the Gazette featured Tony and Sally Kerber in “Making Hay While the Sun Shines.” 20 Years Ago the Gazette featured Jeff Byrne and his new retail complex in “Victoria Has the Fever.” 10 Years Ago the Gazette featured Victoria’s second ever full blown grocery store in “More Than 100 Years Later.” |
