Quinn M. Horvath, Owner/Funeral Director THE TRACY AMBULANCE GARAGE is expanding its parking lot to accommodate more people and vehicles during special events that are held there throughout the year. Charlie DeSchepper said the expansion will help keep South St. clear of parked cars, making the intersection with Center St. safer for everyone.

Parking lot expansion

Early Friday it was quiet. Almost too quiet. Slowly and then in waves they descended on Walnut Grove like a swarm of locust for three intense days and then just as quickly they were gone. Sunday afternoon cradled a few memories and remnants. A tent in the park. Full dumpsters. Ground where thousands of feet had shuffled the grass into bare dirt. Exhausted workers tossed their sweaty blue reunion shirts in the wash. Stories abounded of encounters with the hoppers and the food they came to devour. And it was good.

There was the intrepid family from Michigan who traveled to DeSmet and lost their car transmission in Marshall. I spoke to them at midnight at the Wilder Pageant as they waited for a cab back to their hotel. A young girl actress stood and stammered in front of one of the actors blurting out “I love you.” In a crowd of a thousand, a young woman spoke about how the Little House TV show helped her battle with alcoholism. A person with multiple credit cards waited to buy autographed images of the saints. “We came from Australia.” “This is our honeymoon.” “I touched his shirt.”

Families spoke of saving for months to make this pilgrimage to the rock that Laura stood on, to the place where the dugout had been and to the gathering of the faithful to listen to the words and see the faces and touch the garments of those who had brought to life the works of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

They sat patiently for hours in the heat, humidity and rain on uncomfortable chairs to listen to the old stories and connect with these Stars from a TV program made 45 years ago. It was like rummaging in the closet and finding an old photo album. Turning the pages energizes the memories and washes you in emotions of long passed days remembered in a halo of soft light. The entire crusade speaks to and about us as a people longing for connections.

A TV screen image is made up of millions of small dots of light. As screens improved, the number and precision increased so that images are now hyper realistic. One is hard pressed to see the individual dots. Like a mosaic or a forest of trees, as you back away, you get a grand overall image but lose the ability to see the single tile or leaf. Only when a tile is missing or a tree is dead or a dot on the screen

goes dark do we pay attention for a moment in passing. As a people we are impressed and overwhelmed by spectacle and huge events that carry us along with a tremendous tribal energy. Tent revivals have their purpose. If we have the right perspective, every single

dot, every individual person has a light to shine and can be a Star for someone.

Technology has made us both connected and invisible. This seems a paradox but like many addictions, there is no moderation. It will be a challenge for generations to come. Peak or mountain top experiences used to be in person with people. Now, it is live-streamed or on rewind on Netflix or Instagram. With the empty calories of TV, we get fat but are not filled. If we continue to binge, we build unhealthy emotional habits and a bag of chips around our middle.

If we have a deeper relationship with TV or other media than with our family and friends, we become invisible and eventually empty, a dot on the screen of life that goes dark.

For most this was a fun family outing. For some an obsession. It is no surprise that there was some awe and hero worship as we as a people are in deep need of positive role models. Most are curious about the lives of others and want more insight and connection if we have been impressed or touched by their words and deeds.

I hope people listened closely to the comments shared by the ten people who came with their mix of theater, tell-all and comedy relief. More than one remarked that what an audience sees in Little House was carefully crafted by not one or two actors but by hundreds of people, most of whom are part of the little dots on the screen that you do not see. Many of the actors have moved on to other careers just like most folks do over a lifetime.

For them Little House was a peak experience with the fortunate combination of good people, material and the right time. We all have the possibility of creating those extraordinary experiences in school, work, church and community. Two loaves, a few fishes, a diet soda, pancakes, burgers, a little hotdish and theater go a long way when there is a strong sense of community. This weekend was an example. Just turn off the TV and get to work.

new officers

LION PRESIDENT PATTY PETERSON recognized two faithful members of the local service club at the last monthly meeting for their many contributions to the organization. Lion Chris Kamrud (left) received accolades and a plaque for being the “Go To Person” for outgoing president Peterson during her time as CEO of the organization. Lion Ron Dahl strengthened the club’s membership by adding the most new Lions during the past year.

board. Charges that are being brought against the longtime Tracy businessman include violation of the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, violation of Committee Member Codes of Conduct, violation of Fair Credit Reporting Act, and violations of three city codes: 2.30, subd. 2, subd. 3 and subd. 5.

The document also detailed evidence which is said to support the written charges.

The issue was a point of contention at the July 8 city council meeting, when Tony Peterson, an employee of Salmon, was asked to abstain from any discussion on the matter.

Peterson stood firm in his opinion that he did not bring any conflict of interest to the table concerning the matter involving Salmon — an opinion not shared by Mayor Anthony Dimmers.

Mattson requested that Peterson be removed from the EDA board as well.

What a great gift
