Join us on a tour of Outstanding Senior Housing Options in the Twin Cities. The Senior Housing Council of the Builders Association of the Twin Cities will take a bus tour of three excep-tional examples of senior housing in the Twin Cities.
Join us to learn about the latest trends in senior housing, what seniors want most in their homes, and how local builders are working to meet the needs of the Twin Cities' aging population.
The tour will visit Walter's Edge in Hugo, built by Pulte Homes; Living Choice in Maplewood, built by Living Choice Development; and Boutwell's Landing in Oak Park Heights, built by Valley Senior Services Alliance.
The tour is scheduled for Wednesday, June 8th. Lunch is provided.

Hi, Sue. I was wondering if you have the email addresses for the Victoria City Councilmembers. If you do, would you be so kind as to email them to me? I would like to send each of them a little note. Thanks, and have a great summer.

Enjoyed your May Gazette so much I thought I should drop a line. I visited the Catholic church in Victoria quite a few times while I was at Guardian Angels, even served at Mass a few times. But it's the names in the Gazette that bring back a lot of memories … Schneider, Kelzer, Diethelm, Wartman, Notermann, Kelzer. I played baseball with a lot of those names in high school at Chaska, and later against them in town team ball. Those were some of the best days of my life. Now that's 50 year ago! Time sure flies. Keep up the good work.

On behalf of the Carver County Board of Commissioners, I want to con-gratulate and publicly say thank you to everyone who successfully handled the Waconia School threat incidents.
Special thanks go to Sheriff Bud Olson, Scott Gerber from the County's Risk and Emergency Management De-partment, and all of their staff members for coordinating the efforts. Also, thanks and appreciation go to School District #112, the City of Waconia, and the many agencies that helped investigate and work on this case.
I can still remember the unsettling feeling in my stomach on Tuesday, May 7th, 2005, when Sheriff Bud Olson first explained the situation to the Board of Commissioners. The concern in his face was evident as he explained the Waconia School threats. At that time, the Carver County Board pledged any and all re-sources of Carver County to help the Sheriff in his efforts to get to the bottom of this matter.
Sheriff Olson talked about the similar threats that occurred in Columbine, Cold Spring, and Red Lake, and stressed the very serious nature of the situation. It was a discussion that illustrated the value of having good public services that protect and serve our citizens. It also clarified the importance of the many partnerships and excellent relationships that are firmly in place between Carver County's public officials.
As you cross paths with these folks, please thank them for a job well done. And, more importantly, go home and hug your kids and rest assured that they are safe.
James Ische, Chair
Board of Commissioners
Carver County, Minnesota

It's a bright sunny day here at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, a per-fect day to highlight upcoming activities. I have attached three press releases for your perusal.
One is on a Juried Exhibit of Bird-houses and Birdfeeders. Another is on the upcoming Auxiliary Garden Tour. The third release is on our Summer Cooking Series.
I hope you can find room to include these events in your calendar section or perhaps you'd like to do a story. Just let me know and I can provide additional information and photos. Thanks again.

Your article about our dear friend Evelyn Goldschmidt was great, as all your articles are. I first remember the Gold-schmidt family when my dad moved us back to the farm from St. Paul in 1933. The Goldschmidt and Holtmeier farms abutted each other and from time to time there was an exchange of help, and it was neat to see a wagon being pulled by a team of horses coming up from Stieger Lake.
We did not have a radio until the 1940's and the Goldschmidts did, so on occasion we would go to hear Major Edward Bowes and his Amateur Hour which was sponsored by Plymouth, Dodge, and DeSoto cars and Dodge trucks. Then there was the Farmer's Club, which was the big social event in our area.
We are soon off to Pennsylvania to visit our daughter Pam and her family, but first we have to see Sharen Geske for a haircut!
