<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 />

<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 />

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 />

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 />
