To the Editor: I am quite shocked and dismayed over your editorial comment warning people to be suspicious that U.S. Census workers could well be involved in a conspiracy to use information gathered for illicit purposes. I happen to be a census worker hired by the government and a 13-year Victoria resident so I take offense to your unfounded speculation, especially making an irrational connection to Acorn. The workers hired for the census are local people, rather than imports from Chicago, Detroit, and other points distant, coming in with an agenda. I certainly hope that my fellow Victoria residents and neighbors will not view me with a jaundiced eye or suspect that I will violate their trust in any way. Finally, I hope that you will not use the power of your newspaper to inflame the public or poison the government’s legitimate duty to gather census data. John Helgerson Victoria, Minnesota
EDITOR’S NOTE: Don’t take offense. My suspicions lie mainly with the U.S. Government and the U.S. Census Bureau, not with innocent little worker bees who gather information for them.
To the Editor: Can we please place another ad in your wonderful paper? Shannon Best, General Manager AmericInn of Waconia
To the Editor: Wishing you the best in the New Year 2010. Keep up your good work. The fishhook is on the “l” in the Floyd’s ad. Marie Otten Waconia, Minnesota To the Editor: Hi, Sue. Well, we are finally getting a break in the weather. About time! I’m sure you know by now that we are installing a new scoreboard at the field this spring. KleinBank and LCI, which is Steve Salz, got together and sponsored the board. We are so thankful for their support and community involvement. Also, starting Saturday, February 20th, we, the Vics, are doing another Skills and Drills Clinic at the Victoria Recreation Center. The Saturday dates are February 20th, March 6th, and March 13th. The times are 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. for 7-year olds, 11:30 to 1:00 p.m. for 8 to 10-year olds, and 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. to 11 to 13-year olds. We have been doing this for several years and the attendance has been increasing each year. We hope that it continues. If there are any questions, the best way to get answers would be a call to the Recreation Center. That’s all I know for now. Thanks. Mike Poppitz Victoria Vics Coach
To the Editor: We just can’t say enough about what an absolute treasure the Gazette is to us. It is the ideal local paper. So many others could learn so much from you. All our best. Tim and Sue Phenow Maple Grove, Minnesota
To the Editor: Your paper is as good as ever. God is helping you to bring joy to so many people. Now this: I thank all those who remembered me at Christmas time with prayers and gifts. May God reward you for your kindness. Fr. Conran Schneider, OFM Chaska, Minnesota
To the Editor: Happy 2010. Should we add a 443 prefix to that? Or change it to 443-SueO if nobody else has those last four numbers? Or a Victoria Gazette license plate on the Suzen Cruiser? Ten years since Y2K and this “K” didn’t fall for the hype that went on in 2000. The blurb going around that we’d have a food shortage, with people buying cases of peanut butter, 24 jars for a household for four, and computers would shut down was goofy. I didn’t believe one word of that hogwash and it was hogwash. Like my dad would say, “They’re full of prunes.” It looks like Father Conran Schneider will have competition on the ice fishing lake, some from Floyd’s where you hid the the fishhook in the last Gazette. Father probably has secret spots to find the big ones. Masses, fishing, and flowers are his forte. Kay Meuwissen Chaska, Minnesota
