Mild weather added to alarge turnout for the 17th an-nual Holiday Parade ofLights and the second annualHoliday in the Park. The pa-rade down New Prague’sMain Street ended at Memo-rial Park with a variety offestivities.

"I thought it was fantastic,"said Kristy Mach, executivedirector of the New PragueChamber of Commerce, or-ganizer of the event.

There were about 13 unitsin the parade that went easton Main Street. Various orga-nizations participated frombusinesses to clubs. Machsaid this year there were no

prizes for the best floats. Onedifference was that as the pa-rade neared Memorial Park,the crowds lining the streetsgrew in number.

"I was surprised to see somany people at MemorialPark," said Mach.

This year the Holiday inthe Park included activitiesfrom last year and new ones.There was the Reindeer Dashwhere children 10 and underlined up in one of the ball-parks to scramble to grab agoodie bag. Mach said therewere 500 bags that containedvarious items, spread out inthe outfield.

"I think everyone got one,because they were all gone,"said Mach.

During the dash childrenwere asked to share if theysaw someone without a bag.

Other events included vis-its with Santa, carols by theNew Prague choir Hymnusand a tree lighting ceremony.Santa lit the pine tree sprin-kled with 5,500 LED lightsthat will remain lit throughthe Holidays. Mach said thelocal Boy Scouts were gener-ous by providing three smallbonfires in portable fire pits.

Closing the night werefireworks by RES SpecialtyPyrotechnics. People toldMach they enjoyed beingable to see a terrific fire-works show up close.

"People thought it was agreat night," said Mach.

Speaking of Health

Diabetes awareness: Becoming a healthier type Approximately 25.8 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with diabetes and 7 million remain undiagnosed, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Diabetes is a chronic disease that costs our nation thousands of lives each year, making it increasingly important for everyone to gain greater awareness about prevention and management. 1. What is diabetes? Diabetes is caused by LQVXIÀFLHQW�SURGXFWLRQ�RI��RU�resistance to, a hormone called insulin. There are several types of diabetes, all of which are a result of blood sugar (glucose) levels being excessively high. � ��Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults and was formerly referred to as juvenile diabetes. Type 1 is caused by the body not producing any insulin.

� ��Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and affects millions of Americans – both diagnosed and undiagnosed. In the case of type 2 diabetes, the body either doesn’t produce enough insulin or resists its effects. Obesity plays a major role in developing insulin resistance, which can lead to type 2 diabetes.� ��Gestational diabetes may occur during the latter half of pregnancy in women that did not previously have diabetes. It’s important to monitor blood sugar levels throughout the pregnancy to keep the mother and child healthy.� ��Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are abnormally high, but not high enough to be � � FODVVLÀHG�DV�W\SH��GLDEHWHV�� Individuals diagnosed with

prediabetes are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, so it should be proactively addressed through weight loss efforts and moderate exercise. 2. What are symptoms of diabetes?

Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S., accounting for 70,000 lives lost in 2009, per the CDC. Diabetes also presents the potential for many long-term complications, including increased risk of damage to the eyes, feet and kidneys, as well as heart disease and stroke.4. How can I manage and prevent diabetes? It’s critical to maintain a healthy diet that includes GLHWDU\�ÀEHU�IURP�ZKROH�JUDLQV��fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

The event, held Sunday,Dec. 2, at the American Le-gion Park Ballroom, includedentertainment and vendorsrepresenting various coun-tries.

There was dancing, storiesand representatives of culturefrom the Czech Republic,Ireland, Poland, Germany,Norway, Sweden and others.Locally people came fromNew Prague, Montgomery,Lonsdale, Shakopee and theTwin Cities Metro Area. TheEuropean Christmas eventwas sponsored by State Bankof New Prague and hosted bythe Czech Heritage Club.

Truth inTaxationhearingdraws oneBy Patrick FisherStaff Writer

The New Prague CityCouncil’s Truth in TaxationPublic Hearing for the 2013budget drew one person.Council member-elect PatScripture attended the Mon-day, Dec. 3, meeting.

A former city employee,she asked if the subsidy thatthe city pays to the NewPrague Golf Club would begoing down.

The city has been paying a$121,270 subsidy to help theclub with debt services andcash flow. The council ap-proved the subsidy to helpthe golf club rather than haveit close.

City Administrator MikeJohnson said while the clubhas been making progress inclosing the gap over the lastfew years, the subsidy can’tgo down until the club cancover its expenses.

Council member ShawnRyan asked if Scripture hadany ideas. She thought man-agement was doing a goodjob and they could take overthe jobs at the club.

Mayor Chuck Nickolaysaid they could, but in thelong run it would likely costmore. He noted "your jawwould drop" with what othergolf management companiescharge.

Council member KristinGuerrette said the city hasbeen working on a planwhere the subsidy paymentwould go down, which in-cluded looking at other areaswhere the club could makemoney. She noted there’s alot more competition in thearea.

"It’s not an easy industry,"said Nickolay. The city andthe club have to look at moreoptions at making revenuefrom non-golfing events.

LettersWhen the worst

happens, we witness the best

To the Editor:This past week we once

again witnessed a lifetragedy that causes one toquestion faith, purpose, andreasoning.

Though questions like thatremain mostly unanswered inthe death of a young man,who paid the ultimate sacri-fice, we also witnessed mo-ments of tremendous inspira-tion during this community’sresponse.

At a time when the veryworst happened, peoplecame out to show supportand help a devastated familyin grief. Total strangers bothfrom this community andmuch further afield offeredhelp – whether it was withfood, monetary donations,getting a video feed into thesocial hall at church, or theirpresence. Fifty volunteersfrom the Patriot Guard stoodguard in the cold with nevera complaint, only kindnessand compassion, most ofthem having no personalconnection to either the fam-ily or the community. TheMarine contingent assignedto Dale and his family werecompassionate, caring youngmen.

The call went out to helperect and take down the flagsthat lined the funeral routeand, on very short notice andcold days, over twice asmany people as needed as-sembled to complete thetask.

Law enforcement officers,veterans, and Gold StarMothers from all over thearea came to offer support.Individuals called and cameout to offer anything thatcould be used to help in thistime of need.

When the worst happens,we witness the best in thepeople of this community,who respond with compas-sion and selflessness. Wehave seen this empatheticspirit time and time again inthis community when othershave experienced heartacheand tragedy. We are trulyblessed and humbled to workinand be part of the NewPrague community.

We’ve lost an icon

To the Editor:New Prague and Minneso-

ta community journalism haslost an icon.

With the recent passing ofLois Suel Wann, editor andeditor emeritus of the NewPrague Times for decades,we are diminished.

My wife, Ann, and I havehad our lives intertwinedwith those of Lois and herfamily for much of our timehere. Ann (Suel) grew up inthe local newspaper busi-ness. Her father, Jay Suel,grandparents James (Len)and Ellie Suel, Lois andArthur J. Suel, and laterChuck and Art Wann, con-trolled and contributed tolocal newspaper history formuch of the last century,leading up to the presenttime.

Ann’s childhood memoriesare solidly based on her rela-tionship with The Times. Sheworked there as a youngster,then pursued a journalismdegree before working local-ly and with several other areanewspapers as a writer andadvertising specialist.

I began my journalism ca-reer in New Prague in 1974,and spent most of the nextdecade working side-by-sidewith Lois and our co-work-ers. When Ann and I weremarried in 1978, our first res-idence was a home owned byLois and Gene Wann.

Ann and I will rememberLois as a woman of dignity,sincerity and compassion.She truly loved this commu-nity, her newspaper familyand the people whose liveswere chronicled in TheTimes. She was from the“old school” of journalism,where honesty and truthtrumped the more sensationalheadlines and content of thisera. Lois learned the art andscience of weekly journalismfrom her father and passedthe torch to those who fol-lowed.

Ann and I will rememberLois with tenderness and re-spect. Sadly, we will not seeanother like her in Minnesotaweekly journalism.

A proper sendoffLast week in this space, we included a

poem about the proper way to rememberthe sacrifice that Lance Corporal DaleMeans and his family made for his coun-try. That editorial was written and thatnewspaper went to press just hours be-fore the Marine’s funeral.

In the aftermath of all the emotion thatthe funeral brought, there was a commontheme. That somehow, New Praguemanaged to find the right way to showits love and respect for one of its own.

The turnout on Tuesday when about100 people, twice as many as needed,showed up to volunteer and place flagsalong the funeral procession route, wasvery impressive, and the hundreds ofpeople lining the streets at the time ofthe procession also sent a strong show ofsupport for the family of Dale Means.

A server at a local restaurant said acrew from one of the Twin Cities televi-sion stations stopped by after the funer-

al. The reporter told her that he had cov-ered many military funerals, but hadnever seen a community come togetherto show their support like New Praguedid.

The most striking image, aside fromthe coffin going into and out of thechurch, was of the flags lining the road-side, both in New Prague and on OldHighway 13 Boulevard, going into St.Patrick. There, the narrow country roadgoing uphill, with two rows of flags lin-ing the road and St. Patrick Church atthe top of the hill, made for a strikingimage.

As I said to more than one person thatday, the flags were absolutely beautiful.But I hope I never see them lining thestreets of my town again. Or any othertown for that matter. At least, not underthese circumstances.

Rest in Peace, Dale Means. —Chuck Kajer

My grandma, Lois SuelWann, died November 19 atthe age of 90.

She was a wonderfulgrandma, and a wonderfulgreat-grandma to my girls.

And, she’s the reason Ihave printer’s ink in myveins.

She, too, was a writer.She earned her English de-

gree at the College of St.Catherine (and met her fu-ture husband, my grandpa,St. Thomas student EugeneWann, while at college).

Her love of printer’s inkcame from her father, ArthurJ. Suel. She followed in hisfootsteps to become the edi-tor of The New PragueTimes, a role she held formany years, during a timewhen men dominated thenewspaper business.

One of my favorite storiesis how she demanded to beincluded in the annual LeSueur County Newspapersmeeting, which had been anall-male event--and more of asocial gathering than busi-ness meeting from what I un-derstand. My grandma even-tually won her spot at themeeting and proudly attend-ed the annual meeting formany years.

In 2004, I attended my firstLe Sueur County Newspa-

pers meeting. A handful ofthe many women who are ac-tively working for our coun-ty’s newspapers were in at-tendance. One led the meet-ing. How far we have comein such a relatively shorttime, thanks to women--likemy grandma--who demandedplaces at meetings.

As I write this--my owncolumn--my thoughts takeme back to my grade schoolyears when I would walkdown to The New PragueTime’s office after school. Iwould sit by her desk andvisit with her about my dayand any interesting newsbrewing in the community.Then, I would watch her typeher column: So Lo Notes.

Often times, her columnsincluded stories about herfamily life--including hertwo sons and grandchildren.Slices of family vacations,birthdays, and anniversarieswere shared with readers.Growing up, I sometimes

thought it was odd that“strangers” knew about ourfamily adventures, but now,as a columnist and a mom, Iget it.

If I’m not working, I’mwith my family. Those arethe two things I do. My girls,Anna and Ellen, and my hus-band, John, are my firstthoughts in the morning andmy last at night. So, when Isit down at my computer towrite something non-news,my family is the first to fillmy column space.

As a working mother dur-ing a time most mothersstayed home, I can onlyimagine my grandma’s joy insharing her family’s adven-tures... another dimension ofherself.

I was at my desk on Mon-day morning, November 19thwhen my dad called to let meknow Grandma had passed.

It wasn’t surprising news. She hadn’t been well for a

week or so. But... it’s never easy. Tears and a prayer.I was in the middle of writ-

ing the Waterville City Coun-cil story. How many commu-nity news stories, like thisone, had my grandma writtenin her days? How similar--yet so different--roles wehave played in life...

A desk full of papers--vari-ous news items, meetingtimes, photos to be scanned,event reminders, and adver-tisements waiting to be creat-ed--and a 10 a.m. photo/in-terview didn’t allow for thecry I craved.

I stepped outside forawhile, then, did what I knowmy grandma would havedone.

I wrote the news. My grandma was a classy,

fun, kind, and wonderful per-son, who was always savingstray animals (of all vari-eties), making family Christ-mas Eve celebrations special,offering refreshments andsnacks, and taking pictures.

Always taking pictures.And visiting. A chat over a glass of soda

and a cookie with Grandmaalways made the day better.

I’m grateful to have hadsuch amazing grandparents.They were constant, lovingrole models in my life, andnow, that they are gone, Iknow my role.

I will continue to sharetheir values, stories, and pho-tos--our family history--withmy girls.

And, I will write.After all, it’s in my blood.Thanks, Grandma.

A large number of con-cerned residents attended theLe Sueur County Planningand Zoning Commission’spublic hearing on Tuesday,Nov. 27 in the county 4Hbuilding.

The purpose of the hearingwas to hear comments andconcerns regarding theamending of the county’szoning ordinance and map. Itis the first change for thedocuments since they were

adopted in July, 2007.In 2009, the County ap-

pointed an 11-member plan-ning and zoning task forcethat has met almost 40 timesto discuss zoning ordinancechanges. At the November 27meeting the commission en-couraged testimony and pub-lic input, and that is whatthey received. Among thecomments:

Stan Wills of West Jeffer-son Lake questioned lotsizes, and urged the commis-sion to keep in mind substan-

dard lots that currently don’tneed variances if upgradesare wanted.

Al DeKruif read a letter tothe commission abouttourism and campsites in thecounty and how it has con-tributed to the state’s econo-my. He said after reading the400-page document, he sawvery little information onrecreational sites.

“I’m asking you to make aspecific recreation portion tothe document and follow thatup with a meeting to be sure

we have the options and rep-resentation,” he said.

Mike Clemmens asked thecommission to consider set-back requirements for fencelines. Jerry Lucas of LakeWashington agreed with thecommission’s description ofthe current document as con-fusing and unclear. He alsoagreed with Clemmens thatfencing is a “huge” issue,particularly against wetlandboundary setbacks.

A town with a populationof only 7,500 might not seemlike the best place for a pro-fessional theatre company toset up shop. New Prague,however, is not your typicaltown.

Already sporting two com-munity theatres, New Pragueis about to become home to aprofessional company, aswell: DalekoArts.

The company, headed upby New Prague hometownerBen Thietje and his wifeAmanda White, will producean inaugural season of threeshows from June to Septem-ber. The company will residein New Prague, but utilize anensemble of professional ac-tors and designers from theTwin Cities.

“My growing up here wasa big reason that we choseNew Prague,” explained Thi-etje. “I’ve had the pleasure ofwitnessing this community’slove and commitment to thearts firsthand. The people ofthis area support the arts as ifthey lived in a place fivetimes its size. From anartist’s perspective, NewPrague is a really uniqueplace to be.”

An artist’s perspective isone the pair knows well. Thi-etje and White have morethan 30 years of professionaltheatre experience betweenthem. Aside from directingtheatre in the New Pragueschool system for the past

decade, Thietje has also pro-duced more than a dozenshows in the Twin Cities, aswell as acted at professionaltheatres such as The Old Logand Park Square.

White has worked as anactor, director, and producerin both Chicago and NewYork, and is the new Manag-ing Director at Mixed BloodTheatre in Minneapolis.

Daleko – a Czech wordmeaning “far away” – waschosen to reflect New

Prague’s strong bohemianroots, its spatial relationshipto the Twin Cities, and thecompany’s desire to stepback and examine the worldfrom a different point ofview.

“New theatre companiesare popping up every year inMinneapolis and St. Paul,”said White. “The region is anincredible place to experi-ence and work in the arts.But theatre seems to be just apart of life in New Prague.We hope to become an inte-gral part of the community –and we hope that the commu-nity will eventually feel likeDalekoArts belongs tothem.”

The New Prague PlanningCommission took one last lookat the city’s ComprehensivePlan Update during its month-ly meeting Wednesday, Nov.28.

The commission has spentmost of the year reviewing theplan and making changes tohelp the city with its planningthrough the year 2035.

Joanne Foust, a principalwith Municipal DevelopmentGroup, a consulting firm,helped the commission in up-dating the plan.

Foust explained that a com-prehensive plan is a documentthat establishes guidelines forthe future growth and redevel-opment of the city. The currentupdate covers four chapters —Demographics, Housing, LandUse and Transportation.

Foust noted that the plan notonly looks to the future, but

also to the past for reference.She noted demographics of thecity. New Prague had a popu-lation of 4,559 in 2000, and7,321 in 2010, an increase of63 percent. Projections esti-mate that the population willbe 9,700 in 2020, and will ap-proach 12,000 in 2030 and13,000 in 2035.

“We are projecting growth,but at a slower, more conserva-tive pace than in the pastdecade,” Foust said.

The document also has in-formation on housing trends,education, employment, in-come and household statistics.

As far as housing, the docu-ment shows that the umber ofhouseholds in the city grewfrom 1,735 in 2000 to 2,862 in2010, an increase of 65 per-cent. The plan estimates thatthere will be nearly 5,000households by 2035.

Other notable statistics arethat 35 percent of all housingunits in New Prague have beenbuilt since 2000, and that thereis a need for about 32 new se-nior housing units by 2020.

Mike Kotila of the engineer-ing firm Short, Elliot, Hen-drickson gave a brief overviewof the Transportation chapter.He noted the purpose of thechapter was to balance theneed for convenient and effi-cient access for local residentsand businesses while main-taining mobility and safety onthe roadway system for allusers.

He said the plan identifiesneeds and makes recommen-dations for future roadway net-works, including local roads,collector roads and arterialroads.

Foust then went over thechapter on Land Use. She saidthe guiding principles usedwhen developing this chapteris that the city wants to retainthe spirit of a small town,wants to continue to havedowntown as a place to gather,have a well-balanced tax base,take a proactive position on fu-ture growth and have an iden-tity that reflects the place, his-tory and heritage of the city.

The land use plan takes into

account the inventory of va-cant lots for residential, com-mercial and industrial uses,and proposes to try to fill in themajority of vacant lands beforeannexing additional lands intothe city.

In addition, the land usechapter identifies 14 sites thatare either proposed to be re-zoned to another district orsites that have redevelopmentpotential.

No one from the audienceasked to speak about the planduring the public hearing. Itwas noted that there were sev-eral written comments frompeople who attended an openhouse on the plan earlier in themonth. The commission rec-ommended approval of theamended plan by a 4-0 vote(with Chair Bob Gilman ab-sent).

City Planner Ken Ondichsaid the city council was to dis-cuss the plan at its December 3meeting, and it is hoped thecouncil will vote to adopt theplan at its December 17 meet-ing.

Comp. Plan changes move on to council

The New Prague Trojangirls basketball team im-proved its record to 3-1 onthe season following a pair ofwins over Big 9 Conferenceteams last week. The Trojansdefeated Austin 71-60 andMankato East (No. 6, ClassAAA) 69-56.

The Trojan girls werescheduled to play at WaconiaTuesday, Dec. 4. They hostdefending Class AAAAchampion Hopkins (No 1,Class AAAA) on Friday,Dec. 7, and play at Glencoe-Silver Lake Tuesday, Dec.11.

Trojans 71, Packers 60New Prague was never re-

ally threatened in their homeopener Tuesday, Nov. 27,against Austin. The Trojanshad a comfortable halftimelead of 11 points andstretched the lead to as manyas 22 points in the secondhalf before pulling theirstarters.

Perhaps the most impres-sive aspect of the Trojans’dominance was an eight-minute stretch in the secondhalf when their top two scor-ers, Lexi Ruehling and AnnieDittberner, were both on thebench with four fouls. In-stead of collapsing, the Tro-jans extended their lead dur-ing that stretch, not allowingAustin to get back into thegame.

Senior Steph Hansonpicked up the slack for theTrojans. She had a career-high 20 points and had eightsteals. Dittberner finished

with 15 points and eighth-grader Maizie Deihl had 11.Also scoring for the Trojanswere Ella Grote (8),Ruehling (7), AshleyAltschul (4), Kayla Kroyer(4), and Jess Allar (2). Grotepulled down six rebounds forthe Trojans and Hanson andRuehling each had four as-sists. As a team New Praguehad 19 steals and forced 27Austin turnovers while com-mitting just 12.

Trojans 69, Cougars 56Three Trojan seniors -

Ruehling, Dittberner andHanson - combined for 51points as the Trojans upsetNo. 6-ranked Mankato East69-56 on the Cougars’ homecourt Thursday, Nov. 29.

“We have tremendous se-nior leadership on this team.The maturity they show onand off the court is as good aswe have had here,” Trojancoach Ron Gunderson said.

“This is a tight group thatreally enjoys the time theyspend together. They are alsovery driven. They have sethigh goals and are willing topay the price that achievingthose goals brings.”

Gunderson went on to saythat Ruehling is playingstrong in the post, and thetwo senior guards, Dittbernerand Hanson, are controllingthe tempo at both ends.

“Ella Grote is makingshots and battling insidewhile Jess Allar is strong onthe defense. Kayla Kroyer,Maizie Diehl and AshleyAltschul are great coming offthe bench,” he added.

“We have some youngplayers that will see time as

the year progresses. This is agreat group and I believe wewill see improvement eachnight out.”

Dittberner and Ruehlingeach had 20 points and Han-son added 11 as the Trojanspulled away from a tightgame in the second half.Grote joined the three seniorsin double figures, scoring 12,while Allar had 4 and Kroyer2.

The Trojans’ defensive

pressure and shooting accu-racy were factors in the win.New Prague had 15 stealsand forced 23 turnovers,while shooting 50 percentfrom the field. They made 22of 29 free throws (75.8 per-cent). East had an 33-25 ad-vantage on the boards.Ruehling grabbed eight re-bounds while Dittberner had10 assists and four steals andHanson and Grote addedfours steals each.

Well, the noise I heardfrom my deer stand turnedout to be a squirrel. Squirrels,turkeys and coyotes were allI saw after 2-1/2 days of hardhunting in southwesternMinnesota. Eugene Palmadidn’t fare much better…He saw one fawn.

However, on the last after-noon, as we readied to leavethe woods and head home,our luck changed.

A single doe, chased bygunfire from a neighbor’swoods, picked our woodedlocation for safety. Bad deci-sion for her. She ended upright between us and Ipromptly knocked her downwith a well-placed shot.

We actually had to chuckleabout it. Sometimes it is waybetter to be lucky than goodat hunting. We loaded her up,registered her in town andheaded home, still smilingabout our luck.

Apparently, others insoutheastern Minnesota faredbetter than us as the deer har-vest this year was up fromlast year.

I did manage to bag a nicecoyote from my deerstand.They are plentiful downthere and I saw way toomany of them during day-light hours.

Back home, I exchangedmy shot guns for my muz-zleloader and began anotherseason. I turned down a de-cent buck on opening day.I’m still not quite sure why Ididn’t shoot him… Oh well. Ialso saw a doe, which I couldnot shoot.

Then, I packed my gearagain. My son Joe was takingme deer hunting in southernIowa, the home of monsterbucks. I’m not sure which ofus was more pumped. I knewI wouldn’t sleep well onThursday night before leav-ing on Friday, Nov. 30. Joehad been there several timesand some of the bucks he’staken now hang on the tro-phy room wall.

I wrote this column beforeleaving on the trip. I knoweven if I don’t get one, I’llstill have a blast. Joe and Ihave not hunted together forsome time. I still remembersitting with both boys whenthey shot their first bucks.

Better to be luckythan good…

BEST WISHES to the Parents of the

NEW YEAR BABY! Our Gift is a

$10.00 Gift Certificate.

By Patrick FisherStaff Writer

A year of preparations re-sulted in positive reviews forchoirs that formed the Distin-guished Concerts Singers In-ternational. Hymnus, basedin New Prague, was amongthose choirs that created themass ensemble that per-formed at Lincoln Center’sAvery Fisher Hall on Sunday,Nov. 25.

Hymnus, with choirs fromacross the country, includingNew York, Montana, Con-necticut, Hawaii and Wash-ington D.C., were extendedinvitations to sing at the NewYork City landmark. Thechoir of 208 people of vari-ous ages sang GeorgeFriederic Handel‘s "Messi-ah." Distinguished ConcertsInternational New York Cityorganized the event.

"I was extremely happywith how the Hymnus mem-bers performed during thetrip to New York," said RushWagner, director of the choir.

More than 20 members par-ticipated in the event, theyoungest having just turned11. The group flew out of theTwin Cities on the afternoonof Thanksgiving.

Hymnus stayed at the Hol-iday Inn Midtown and re-hearsals at the Park CentralHotel were just a 10-minutewalk away. Mary Zard, choiradministrator for Hymnus,said Park Central Hotel wasacross from Carnegie Hall.

"The choir members exem-plified professionalism dur-ing rehearsals; somethingwhich was noted by otherchoristers and directorsalike," said Wagner. He alsothought it was nice at howprepared Hymnus was.

"I was very proud of everyHymnus members especiallythe children," said Zard.

She noted that other land-marks such as Times Square,Rockefeller Center and Cen-tral Park were nearby. Hym-nus members didn’t thinkthey would have time for

sight seeing due to the longrehearsals, but they were ableto sneak some in.

While Wagner didn’t per-form with the choir, he did at-tend the rehearsals and theperformance. During the re-hearsals he took notes on thestyles of Dr. Jonathan Grif-fith, Artistic Director andPrincipal Conductor of Dis-tinguished Concerts Interna-tional New York City.

There were various groupsthat did reviews, from blog-gers to a critic from the NewYork Times, who said, "Thechorus… handled some ofthe work’s most involvedpassages confidently andproduced a ravishing soundat climaxes."

"The reviews for the en-semble en-mass have beenvery complimentary, and inmy opinion, this is well de-served," said Wagner.

"It was great weather whilewe were there and the entiretrip was wonderful," saidZard.

"I am very proud of (Hym-nus’) efforts up to and includ-ing the entire New York trip,"said Wagner.

Next up, Hymnus will be

caroling at the Guthrie The-atre in Minneapolis on Satur-day, Dec. 15, before theGuthrie’s production of "AChristmas Carol." Then

Hymnus will focus on theVerdi Requiem for its Febru-ary concert with the DakotaValley Symphony.

Hymnus’ New York trip was a ‘great experience’
