It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas by Sue Orsen/The Victoria Gazette. “Santa was expected to arrive in a Victoria firetruck on December 1st at 3 p.m. in front of the Victoria Library. But at 2:45 p.m. it started to snow, and snow, and it got heavier and wetter and deeper as the minutes to countdown continued. Would Santa be able to make it?” Click on Front Page. Happiness and Peace by Tom Stumpf, Cowboy Correspondent. “Even my sainted mother, God rest her soul, admitted to me once that she found all the festivities a little much and she looked forward to getting back to peace and quiet after Christmas. Ah, peace and quiet.” Victoria’s Library Log by Jodi Edstrom, Youth Services Librarian. “All Carver County libraries are closed December 24th and 25th, closing at 5 p.m. on December 31st, and closed on January 1st.” County Gov’t at Front Lines by Carver County Commissioner Randy Maluchnik. “This fall, county leaders from across the country met at the White House with President Donald Trump. These leaders discussed the issues facing counties, with White House officials.” That Which is Unseen by Tom Abts, Deer Run Golf Pro. “If humans do not believe that life is more than it seems, their view of life has to be pretty superficial. The depth of life is what gives it meaning, what makes it make sense.” Lions Pork Chop Dinner by Sue Orsen. “The chops were delicious, the scalloped potatoes tasted good but were a bit dry, and the beans, both brown and green, were, well, vegetables!” New Name for Victoria Provider of Eldercare by Jenna J. Zark, Communications. “When two organizations become one, they face the exciting and vital task of creating a name. Augustana Care and Elim Care wanted a name to reflect the values and mission of both nonprofit eldercare providers. The new name, Cassia, was inspired by the anointing oil made from the bark of the Cassia tree.” Former Gravel Operation at Red Jacket Valley Park by Mn River Weekly and Tim Krohn. “The new park, located just south of the Mount Kato ski area, was a former gravel operation.” 30 Years Ago the Gazette featured Jerome Zanger in “A Man by the Lake.” Jerome lives on the farm of his parents and grandparents, on Lake Wassermann. 20 Years Ago the Gazette featured Kathy Kraemer in “A Star in the Sky.” After eleven years of greeting advertisers and selling ads for the Gazette, Kathy has chosen to take a new route in life as a flight attendant.” 10 Years Ago the Gazette featured State Representative Paul Kohls of Victoria and his trip to the Holy Land in “He Traveled Afar.” |

The Greatest Downward Step by Pastor Kevin Dibbley, Waterbrooke Christian Church. “The story of the incarnation of Jesus Christ depicts for us the greatest downward step ever. The eternal Son of God takes on human nature in order to serve and to share in our suffering.” The Ghost of My Victoria Christmas Past by Mike Wartman, Former Resident of Victoria. “On the 12th Day of Christmas, Victoria gave to me … 12 very hard, spiced and spiraled candies in the Victoria Commercial Club’s holiday bag. On the 11 Day of Christmas …” Carp the Herald Angels Sing by Bill Olson, MCWD Board of Managers. “Now that the weather is colder, carp are starting to move to deeper water. In order to track their movement, staff have been electrofishing on lakes, implanting radio tags into the carp that are caught, and releasing back into the lakes.” What’s Behind Littlest Christmas Tree Book? by Janie Jasin, author, speaker, resident of Victoria. “My speaking was in full bloom from the 1980’s. I was on planes, trains, cars, and buses. And then my mom called and said Dad had Alzheimer’s. I headed to Milwaukee to see that Mom was confused too.” The Sweetness of the Holidays by Christie Schlueter, Regular Victoria Visitor. “It sure seems like the fall blew by and winter made its presence quickly this year. If you are looking for some tasty desserts for your holiday gatherings, give these a try.” The Red Moose Coffee Hus by Sue Orsen. “Practically every big wig in the State of North Dakota stops in downtown Tioga at the Red Moose Coffee Hus, which is opened and operated by our daughter Jenny Norgaard.” Carver Co. 10 Project Completed in Waconia by Eric Sieger, Communications. “The county celebrated the project’s completion with a ribbon cutting ceremony.
