To the Editor: Modern life has turned into a big spectator sport. I don't mean just watching sports, but watching everything from politics to warfare. Television gives us a ringside seat to almost anything going on in the world, and the internet offers even more options for viewing. I'll admit that I spend a lot of my time spectating. But we only have so many hours in a day, and it's a shame if we spend too many of those hours as an observer. I'm kind of a political junkie and a big sports fan. I also watch television and go to the movies. Sometimes I feel that my amount of viewing gets out of balance. Life needs to be lived, not just observed. Thank God for golf. We all can play the game -- old, young, big, small, etc. A buddy of mine lost the use of his right arm in a farming accident but still plays golf at least twice a week during the season. We all can find excuses not to play -- not enough time, not enough money, not enough talent. But you know what? We seem to find the time and money to watch sporting events, go to movies, etc. We seem to find ways to watch life rather than participate. If being modern means watching rather than doing, well then we're going the wrong way and setting a bad example for future generations. Tom Abts GM and Head Golf Professional Victoria, Minnesota
To the Editor: Good afternoon. I have a few questions regarding putting an article in the Gazette. Last week the Waconia Patriot ran a wonderful article about St. Joseph Catholic School in Waconia and the C-STEM program we are implementing next year. I was wondering if you are able to run that same article in the Gazette, with the permission of Todd Moen of the Patriot. Please let me know. Thank you. Jackie Nordick St. Joseph Catholic School Waconia, Minnesota
To the Editor: Very interesting March Gazette and great reporting! We did not get our Gazette until yesterday, and Lillian Reich still has not gotten hers. Uncle Ron Holtmeier Waconia, Minnesota
EDITOR'S NOTE: Many readers told me they received the Gazette late last month. I am sorry to hear it, and sorrier to say there's nothing I can do about it. Once I pay the postage, it's in the hands of the U.S. Postal Service. Usually they do pretty well. To the Editor: I have received word from John Arlandson of Lafayette, MN, that a group of Swedish young folks, ages 19 to 24, are touring the USA. They were scheduled to sing in Chicago but that location has been cancelled. It has been scheduled for Mount Olivet West Campus on Rolling Acres Road in Victoria. They will sing on March 28th. There will be a free will offering. There is also a need to house these folks like we did in 2007. If you can house one or two of these folks, please let me know. Thanks. Uncle Ron Holtmeier Waconia, Minnesota
To the Editor: I found the fishhook (you're pretty tricky) on page 23 in the March paper, under the second picture just before "Many members of the Victoria Fire Department also attended the city council meeting." One other thing, I don't think the answers in the March Gazette were for the Winter Olympics puzzle, but let me know if I'm wrong. Linda Erickson Melchert Hubert Sjodin Law Office Chaska, Minnesota
To the Editor: I am announcing my candidacy to seek re-election to the Office of Sheriff for Carver County. For 27 years I have served the people of Carver County as a law enforcement officer. For the past 3 and 1/2 years I have been honored to serve as your Sheriff. I remain dedicated and committed to the mission of the Sheriff's Office: to serve everyone with respect and dignity and to do so with honor, integrity, and pride. I am proud of the accomplishments we have made within the Sheriff's Office. Our staff has tirelessly supported our work and is an integral part of everything we do. With your continued support, I look forward to the opportunity to serve the people of Carver County four more years. Sheriff Jim Olson Carver County, Minnesota
