The eyes have it. How long can you take your eyes off a moving object? When this zamboni grooms the ice at the Victoria Field House, eyes will be on "Victoria State Bank" and "The Chanhassen Bank" and "First National Bank of Waconia" and "First National Bank of Chaska."
Lots to smile about. Victoria City Administrator Steve Sarvi, left, and Wayzata City Manager Al Orsen are both nearing the completion of large city projects -- the $6.2 million Ice Arena/Gymnasium/Walking Track at Victoria and the $9 million City Offices/Police Station/Library at Wayzata.
A taste of spring brew. Annelise Brown of Victoria performed at the Holy Family Catholic High School Coffee House on March 13th. The spring brew of music and dramatic interpreta-tions showcased students of all ages at the Victoria school.
One of a kind. The Holy Family Catholic High School Men's Basketball team was recently awarded Academic Championship of its section within the Minnesota Basketball Coaches Association. Recipients of this award are evaluated on players' GPAs, and winners receive a plaque and banner to be displayed in recognition of this award.

Members of the team are: Seniors Tim Amundsen, Justin Evander, Tom Quammen, and JP Savaryn; Juniors Brian Boyce, Rob Fafinski, Mike Gladney, Matt Kielty, Ben Minger, Joe Murphy, and James Peterson; and Sophomore Tyler Johnson. Captains are JP Savaryn and Mike Gladney.
So help me, God. Sheriff Bud Olson swears in new officers for the Carver County Sheriff's Mounted Posse. (L-r): Second Lieutenant Julie Towle, Sergeant Anne Hanson, First Lieutenant Scott Knight, and Captain Fred Graupmann. The mounted posse is a voluntary group in the Sheriff's Department trained in search and rescue. They may also be seen patrolling parks or doing security work such as Winstock Country Music Festival.
Oh, Beautiful, for Spacious Skies. This 2003 Floral Flag is 740 feet long, 390 feet wide, and maintains the proper Flag dimensions as described in Executive Order #10834. This Flag is 6.65 acres, and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with five-pointed stars comprised of white larkspur. Each star is 24 feet in diameter. Each stripe is 30 feet wide.
This flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 larkspur plants with four to five flower-stems each, for a total of more than two million flowers. You can drive by this flag on V-Street South of Ocean Avenue in Lompoc, California.
Between this field where the flag is planted, there are over nine miles of flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by seed companies. It's close to Vandenberg AFB. Aerial photo by Bill Morson.
