To the Editor: The story and photos in the Gazette on the groundbreaking ceremony for the Blessing House came out the week I was out of town, and so I am responding a bit late in thanking you for the beautiful piece. Seeing the grandchildren on the top of the page caught my breath, and they were pretty excited. I would like to get some additional copies of the October issue. Your newspaper is like none other I have ever seen, and moving to Victoria is going to feel like coming home because of it. Thank you with all my heart. Gail Berger Waconia, Minnesota
To the Editor: Thanks again, Sue, for the Victoria Gazette. What a great paper, with a little of everything from the local news to things of the past and the future. Also, it's just like being on a trip with your family when you write about your vacations. Thank you for sharing the information on the Victoria logo. Interesting! By all means the church and cross must remain! In this case, keep things just as they are! We all love it that way. Keep up the good work. Lowell and Joyce Noeldner Cologne, Minnesota
To the Editor: The state's largest business group in terms of entities -- the National Federation of Independent Business with 12,000 members statewide -- applauds Senator Julianne Ortman of Chanhassen for passing critical estate tax legislation during the 2011 special session. Senator Ortman was successful in passing legislation which was part of the final budget deal which was enacted in July that conforms Minnesota's estate tax exemption to the federal for assets held in a small business or farm. Under the new law, the estate tax exemption increased from $1 million per person to $5 million per person for assets held in a small business or a farm. Thanks to Senator Ortman's effort, any small business or farm that does not have federal estate tax liability will not have state. We really appreciate her tireless efforts and were incredibly impressed that she was able to accomplish this, despite the government shutdown and the contentious budget negotiations that occurred. Thanks to her efforts, family held small businesses and farms can breathe a lot easier on this issue and it will reduce the need to purchase excessive amounts of life insurance or establish trusts that were previously needed to guard against the harsh bite of the estate tax. Small businesses and farmers really have a friend in Senator Julianne Ortman, and we thank her for the tremendous effort she made in the 2011 session. Mike Hickey, State Director NFIB Minnesota
To the Editor: My recent 90th birthday was quite a milestone. Never expected to make it this far. I think the kids keep me going. They are all so good to me. Tom is fortunate in having good friends like you, even if he does have a mischievous streak in him once in a while. I so enjoy your Gazette. Don't know how you can keep it so interesting every month. Keep it coming. Hope to see you some time. Thank you for the birthday greetings. Marie Stumpf (Cowboy Mom) LeSueur, Minnesota
To the Editor: We were founded as a Christian nation and should not be ashamed of having a church or a cross in our city logo. We need to wake up and take back our Christian nation for the sake of our children and grandchildren. I like the logo that the City of Victoria has. It would be nice to keep it that way. Sandra Dahl Victoria, Minnesota
