<strong>The</strong> weather man was on his<br />

best behavior and served up an<br />

ideal day for the annual band<br />

picnic and baseball game held at<br />

Lake Marion on Sunday. People<br />

began to arrive before noon, and<br />

by 1 p.m., one of the largest<br />

crowds seen at the lake this summer<br />

had assembled. After dinner,<br />

the Brownton band gave a concert<br />

of about an hour’s duration,<br />

which was followed by the baseball<br />

game between Arlington and<br />

Lake Marion-Brownton teams.<br />

On Wednesday, July 16, the<br />

wedding of Thusnelda, daughter<br />

of the Rev. and Mrs. George<br />

Diemer, and John Judt, son of an<br />

African missionary, was solemnized<br />

at the St. Matthew’s<br />

Church of Town Penn, the Rev.<br />

Diemer officiating. <strong>The</strong> Rev. and<br />

Mrs. Judt will leave for their<br />

home in Morse, Canada, the beginning<br />

of August.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>McLeod</strong> <strong>County</strong> Commissioners,<br />

in session at Glencoe<br />

Wednesday, voted to reject the<br />

petition for annexation of portions<br />

of school districts 59, 85<br />

and 31 to Independent School<br />

District 33. <strong>The</strong> board was apparently<br />

afraid to take the step<br />

for the improvement of educational<br />

conditions here in face of<br />

the decided opposition voiced<br />

against the proposition.<br />

One day Sherman Station, located<br />

on a dusty, gravel road just<br />

a few miles southwest of Winsted,<br />

was a deserted, old combination<br />

dance hall-grocery store-gas<br />

station. <strong>The</strong> next day it was a<br />

honest-to-goodness movie set<br />

bustling with activity. Film in the<br />

Cities was shooting some scenes<br />

for its 1983 Minnesota Screen<br />

Project, a half-hour documentary<br />

entitled “Harold of Orange.” <strong>The</strong><br />

film will premiere in January at<br />

the Orpheum <strong>The</strong>ater. <strong>The</strong> film<br />

is to be shown primarily at film<br />

festivals.<br />

Workers of the Hendrickson<br />

Organ Company, Inc., of St.<br />

Peter, began dismantling some of<br />

the 1,200 pipes in the organ at<br />

First Evangelical Lutheran<br />

Church. <strong>The</strong> company will spend<br />

the next five to six months enlarging<br />

and rebuilding the organ,<br />

including installing new mechanisms.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rev. Harvey Kath<br />

said the project will cost<br />

$125,000. Organ parts that will<br />

be reused in the project are valued<br />

at another $100,000.<br />

<strong>The</strong> stockholders of the<br />

Brownton Farmers Co-operative<br />

Elevator Co. held their annual<br />

meeting at the Brownton City<br />

Hall last Saturday evening and<br />

elected the following officers<br />

F.F. Gaulke, treasurer; John<br />

Schultz, vice president; and Fred<br />

Knick, H.B. Opitz, Fred Winterfeldt,<br />

named manager.<br />

Mrs. Emma Volkmann, resident<br />

of Brownton and the vicinity<br />

Voters of Independent School<br />

District 33 turned out in force<br />

Tuesday evening for the district’s<br />

annual meeting and election<br />

of officers, with a total of<br />

175 ballots cast as against just 38<br />

last year. <strong>The</strong> big vote is accounted<br />

for by the fact that a<br />

last-minute contest was sprung,<br />

which resulted in the election of<br />

C.A. Graupmann over F.R.<br />

Headley, who had filed to succeed<br />

himself for a three-year<br />

term. L.S. Richards and Graupmann<br />

were elected to three-year<br />

terms with 146 and 11 votes respectively,<br />

while Headley received<br />

54. O.W. Bethke was<br />

elected to a two-year term with<br />

141 votes.<br />

As of June 30, building permits<br />

in Glencoe have totaled<br />

over $5.5 million and with another<br />

half a year to go, it appears<br />

that the city is headed for its<br />

third consecutive record-setting<br />

year. City Administrator Mark<br />

Larson said it is possible that<br />

permits could top the $9 million<br />

to $10 million mark with projects<br />

that are in the works or<br />

could be started this year. In the<br />

works are two-apartment complexes<br />

— an 18-unit apartment<br />

by Mike Gavin and a 42-unit<br />

apartment by developer Kent<br />

Oliver of Duluth.<br />

an hour and signed autographs<br />

after the show. “It<br />

was a huge honor!” Mailander<br />

said of winning a<br />

Grammy for “Can You<br />

Canoe?” “It’s important to<br />

spread this kind of music.<br />

We don’t want traditional<br />

bluegrass music to die off<br />

in the pop culture of this<br />

country.” Mailander said<br />

they love the interactive<br />

themes and audience participation<br />

of kids music,<br />

which is what drew them<br />

toward the genre. “We’re<br />

just so happy everyone<br />

came out and participated,”<br />

Mailander said. “It<br />

was a very enthusiastic<br />

crowd, and we’re thankful<br />

for that.”<br />
