St. Joseph potter Joel Cherrico arranges his pieces during the Millstream Arts Festival Sept. 27 in St. Joseph.
The weather was a bit blustery but beautiful for the Millstream Arts Festival in downtown St. Joseph Sept. 27 as thousands of people casually strolled closed-off Minnesota Street, admiring arts and crafts, socializing and enjoying a variety of foods. More than 50 white tents, some of them shimmying in the wind, lined both sides of the street for several blocks as artists showed and, in some cases, demonstrated their arts and crafts. There were paintings in oil, acrylic, watercolor; drawings; metal works; ceramics; photography, jewelry; printmaking; textiles; woodworks; candles; glass; folk arts; and more.
There were also art activities for children; a booth of local writers with their books; musical performances, including the CSB/SJU Jazz Ensemble, The Half Steps, Charter Kats, Dennis Warner and the Stearns County Pachanga Society. Street performances included Chris Gustafson (street art), the Granite City Cloggers, Carnivale Revolver and musician Paul Imholte. Many people also took in the vintage car-and-tractor show or stopped into the St. Joseph Historical Society, which was featuring Civil War memorabilia and vintage toys. The festival, which took place from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., was one of the best-attended in its history. A video which the festiFestival • page 11
Pope meets Saint John’s Bible, again by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
Pope Francis, once again, had another glimpse of The Saint John’s Bible when it was presented to the U.S. Library of Congress last week during the pope’s visit to Washington, D.C. Earlier this year, Pope Francis was presented a copy of The Saint John’s Bible when a delegation from St. John’s Uni-
versity traveled to the Vatican in Rome to present the historic book. This particular edition of The Saint John’s Bible is known as the Apostles’ Edition. It’s one of only 12 sets. When the pope saw the book with others, he smiled his approval, as he did the first time he saw it. It was given to the Library of Commerce to commemorate the Pope • page 5
Dog park meeting seemed constructive, positive by Logan Gruber operations@thenewsleaders.com
A St. Joseph Park Board meeting held Sept. 28 in regards to a dog park seemed to have everyone leaving Deuhs in a positive mood, park board member Andy Deuhs said. About 30 people attended. No d e c i s i o n s Killam were made,
but a lively discussion was held. Nearly all of those who attended were reportedly interested in having a dog park in St. Joseph, but the sticking point for some is the possible location. “We haven’t ruled any parks out for the dog park but many of them wouldn’t work out,” Deuhs said in a Newsleader interview. He continued, saying the parks were all rated by the park board in regards to how well they could support a dog park, and the easement in question near the Wobegon Trail was rated the highest with Millstream Park rated second highest.

Family honors Roman Bovy, killed during WWII by Cori Hilsgen news@thenewsleaders.com
contributed photos
Roman W. Bovy and his fiancée, Adeline Keller, are pictured in their uniforms beside a notice of Bovy’s death.
Some members of Roman W. Bovy’s family think he deserves to be remembered for his sacrifice to our country. Bovy was killed in France during World War II when he was 23 years old. About 24 family members recently gathered for lunch at the American Legion Post 328 in St. Joseph and the St. Joseph Historical Society to view his military memorabilia. Three brothers, Edward Bovy, 84, and his wife Ellie; Alvin Bovy, 82, and his wife Bernie; Urban Bovy, 92; sister Martha Stock, 88; sister-in-law Arlis Bovy; many of their children; deceased sister Viola Loesch’s children and others visited St. Joseph for the lunch, which included chicken dumpling soup, whole wheat sandwiches, dessert and more. Lunch was prepared by club manager Patti Torborg and Sherry Bullivant; desserts were provided by Cheryl and Everette Bovy; and Shirley Traeger photographed events of the day. “This man gave his life for our
country,” said sister-in-law Arlis of Chanhassen. “He deserves to be remembered.” Roman grew up on a farm north of St. Joseph. He was the third of 10 children born to Ida and Joseph Bovy. He was drafted into the U.S. Army and was killed in France Aug. 11, 1944. Stock, Roman’s sister, said it was hard when Roman was drafted, because her father did not agree with sending their young boys overseas to fight the war. She said Roman had been shot in his left shoulder before he was killed. “They patched him up and put him right back on the front lines,” she said. Part of Roman’s regiment was killed when a land mine exploded. Roman was originally buried in northern France. When American veterans’ remains were sent home to their families, about 35 years ago, he was transferred to Fort Snelling. Roman is now buried in the front of the Fort Snelling cemetery with other WWII

veterans. Arlis was married to Roman’s brother, Leo Bovy. She never met or knew Roman because she met Leo after Roman had been killed, but she has been told by several people that Roman was an exceptionally nice person. Leo was also drafted in the U.S. Army and was stationed in Germany during the Korean Conflict. They were married 22 years, and he is now also buried at Fort Snelling. As a travel tour escort, Arlis traveled to Europe 45 times. During one of those trips to Normandy Beach and other World War II historic places, she started thinking about the sacrifice Roman had made for his country and how many younger people probably don’t understand that sacrifice. “We owe these veterans so much,” Arlis said. “He was such a good-looking guy,” Stock said. “He was the best looking one of the family.” Stock has lived in Sartell for 25 years and has volunteered at the St. Cloud Hospital for 17 years. Edward had kept and gathered together most of Roman’s military memorabilia. He said family members thought it would be a good idea to have the gathering to honor Roman. Edward was 5 when his brother was killed, but he remembers they would often tease each other and got along well. Edward has lived in the Minneapolis area more than 60 years and has traveled throughout Europe and the United States. Urban was 18 when Roman
left and said his death made it much harder. He has lived in the St. Cloud area most of his life. Alvin was 11 when Roman was killed and remembers his family having Roman’s wake at the house without a casket. Alvin has lived in St. Joseph all of his life. Roman and his fiancée, Adeline Keller, had planned to get married after he returned home. Both sets of parents had suggested they should wait until Roman had finished serving his time in the military. Arlis said Keller introduced herself to her at a wake in Sartell several years ago. Keller thanked Arlis for decorating Roman’s grave and said she (Keller) remained single for 12 years after Romans’s death, before she married. For Roman’s sacrifice to his country, the family received a certificate of service, a letter signed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a bronze star and a purple heart. All of those items, along with photos of Roman in his uniform, a book about his regiment and a Bovy family history were donated to the St. Joseph Historical Society. The older generation of Roman’s family did not want his military memorabilia to get misplaced or lost, and the younger generation didn’t really know what to do with the items since many of them had never known Roman. After discussion, Arlis contacted the American Legion in St. Joseph about donating the military memorabilia to the club. Bovy • back page
Park
Killam said of the meeting. “There wasn’t any fighting, it wasn’t heated at all.” Killam said Terry Thene, the public-works director for the city, thought the dog park would probably take up about one acre of the proposed fiveacre site at the easement. “The end of the meeting was really positive,” Deuhs added. “A lot of people realized . . . it won’t affect me as much as I thought.” The dog-park issue will be discussed at another meeting with the park board which is set for 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 26 at city hall.

The St. Joseph City Council recently authorized staff to look into installing "No Parking" signs on Hwy. 75 on either side of the College Avenue stoplight. The city will have to communicate with the county on the issue. The request was brought forth because police have been getting an increased number of calls about semi-truck drivers stopping along the highway to run into local gas stations and restaurants in the area around the stoplight. This image was captured earlier this week.
“Privacy won’t be much of a concern at the easement location,” Deuhs said. “It would probably be out of sight for homeowners there.” Matt Killam, the city council liaison to the park board, said nothing is set in stone, and even if the park board were to recommend a location, the city council would still need to approve it. “A lot of people came away with really good information,”

St. Joseph child survives fall from window by Logan Gruber operations@thenewsleaders.com
A 1-and-a-half-year-old boy survived a fall from a thirdfloor window Monday evening. Around 5:50 p.m. Sept. 28, St. Joseph Police along with fire and rescue and Gold Cross Ambuland were called to the 400 block of First Avenue NE to a report of a male child who had fallen out of a third-story window. A press release states the child had been in his room for a nap, but instead crawled up to the window, slid it open
and pushed the screen out, allowing him to fall. The parent found the child on the ground, and asked a passerby to call 911 while the parent attended to the child. Authorities arrived on the scene to find the child crying and responsive. The child was transported to the St. Cloud Hospital by ambulance. The only injuries which were reported were a fractured jaw. The child was moved out of intensive care, but was still in the hospital as of Tuesday. The incident is believed to have been an accident.
The Central Minnesota Arts Board awarded $81,271 in support of 18 regional arts projects, including the following nine local organizations: Chamber Music Society of St. Cloud, $7,000; College of St. Benedict, $6,115; Great River Chorale, $2,791; Great River Educational Arts Theatre,

Our View
Pope is best kind of leader, using humility, kindness, wisdom Just before the election of President John F. Kennedy in 1960, there were jokes and even some ridiculous worries that since Kennedy was a Catholic, the pope in Rome was packing his bags to move to the United States and take over the country. Last week, one could almost think it had actually happened – that the pope had “taken over.” He actually did for a time. He captivated everyone he met; he inspired and moved millions of Americans of every walk of life; he gave a spiritual “pep talk” to the U.S. Congress; he showed that humility, kindness and wisdom should be the qualities of a great leader – not weapons, threats and cruelty. What is most remarkable about the pope’s visit is how he kept underlining, through his actions, the essence of the gospel messages about helping the poor, the dispossessed, the outcasts, the marginalized. Pope Francis met with homeless people, with immigrants, with school children in East Harlem, with victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy, with prisoners. All through his American trip, again and again, he emphasized the gospel message, which is basically the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” His many talks were powerful and convincing in their quiet and simple ways. He did not harangue people; he did not politicize issues; he did not use ornate word constructions; he spoke very simply, using down-to-earth language, right from his heart. There are an estimated 70 million Catholics in the United States, but Pope Francis reached and moved many more people than Catholics. His messages are truly universal ones that have the power to touch a chord in everyone, no matter what their religion or lack of religion. He even moved many people in the U.S. Congress to tears. What a spiritual feat that was. Wouldn’t it be grand if Pope Francis could make a similar trip to Russia, to Iraq, to Iran, to North Korea, to Syria. There are many tyrants, monsters and terrorists living in those places who need to hear the pope’s message of kindness and love for others. As is the case with ISIS, however, such people bent on cruelty and destruction are almost certainly tone-deaf to any messages promoting decency and kindness. It would take more than the pope – and more than a few miracles – to get through to such rocky hearts and stony minds. It’s a shame. But, in the meantime, we can certainly hope the pope keeps traveling, inspiring with his messages, being an example of simplicity, humility and good works. Maybe – just maybe – some kind of miracle will take place, and the pope’s deeply human messages will catch on and touch hearts and minds in the most unlikely places.

Opinion Long live the Paramount Theater! I was born a diehard movie buff. When we were kids in the 1950s, going to the Paramount Theater was like dying and going to heaven, over and over again. My two sisters, three brothers and I were St. Cloud southsiders who grew up just west of the college. We would walk the mile to that theater at least once a week in all weathers, our quarters, dimes and nickels jingling in our pockets, our eager minds anticipating the excitement of a big-screen spectacle while munching popcorn and slurping on boxes of Jujy Fruits, Junior Mints and Black Crows. Before the films began, we pint-sized movie addicts would sit there in our seats squirming with anticipation. Then, at last, the lights would begin to dim in two oval chandeliers, the curtain would begin to open and we’d hear the roar of the MGM lion or the trumpet-blaring flourish of 20th Century Fox just before the movie started. We would be thrilled beyond words. Many a Sunday, after sitting through catechism classes at St. Mary’s (or, just as often, while playing hooky from catechism), we’d rush over to the Paramount and watch the same matinee over and over all day, sometimes three times in a row. When we were very young brats, our favorites were westerns, war movies and sword-fighting spectacles – the bloodier the better. Later, I began to enjoy more sophisticated pictures, especially those spellbinding Alfred Hitchcock movies, which always came to the Paramount, not the other two theaters in St. Cloud – the Hays and the Eastman. To this day, a half century later, Hitchcock is my favorite movie director. I still associate his movies with the Paramount Theater because that’s where I first saw some of his very best – To Catch a Thief (1955), The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956), Vertigo (1958), North
Dennis Dalman Editor by Northwest (1959) and Psycho (1960). After seeing Vertigo, the eerie images and soundtrack from that movie haunted my mind like ghosts for weeks, and I begged everybody I knew to go see it. At the time, it was considered a critical flop, but I knew, young as I was, that it was a genuine masterpiece. It remains to this day, after so many viewings, at the top of my Top-10 movie list. Every time I’ve seen Vertigo on video or CD, my experience of viewing it in the Paramount is still palpable. That theater with its drafty popcorn aroma is indelibly entwined in memory with that movie – and so many others. It’s the same with Psycho, that other macabre work of art from the Master. I saw it in the Paramount with my cousin from Benson, Mary Lou O’Malley. What a stunner it was. And what spooky ambience, what with a couple actual bats flying through the flickering darkened air above us. Yes, indeed. In those days, sometimes bats did fly and flutter in that theater. Nearly 40 years after Psycho first shocked and thrilled me, I saw it again – lo and behold – right in the Paramount again during a special showing. After seeing it on video many times on TV, what a treat it was to view that moody classic again digitally projected on the great big screen in the very place I’d first seen it.
From the early 1950s through the 1980s, I must have seen at least 500 movies at the Paramount, which is the greatest movie palace of all time, as far as I’m concerned. Its plush ornamental elegance, its glimmering chandeliers, its lacey filigreed ceiling, its scalloped balconies hanging there as if by some magic levitation made the moviegoing experience extra-special. In the 1950s, so long ago, the Paramount’s magnificent grandeur and its big colorful movies were special treats because back home, all we had for viewing pleasure were clunky TVs whose picture screens looked like ship’s portholes through which we could see rather fuzzy images floating around in a hissing snowstorm caused by bad-signal reception. The Paramount, in contrast, was the Real Thing: Technicolor! CinemaScope! Bigger than Life! Thrilling! Some of the classic movies I first saw in the Paramount and still associate with my experience of them in that wonderful theater are Old Yeller, Swiss Family Robinson, The Searchers, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Some Like It Hot, Summer and Smoke, The Godfather, Chinatown and so many more, too many to mention. When I returned to St. Cloud in the late 1990s, I was astonished one day when I walked into the Paramount for an art exhibit and beheld that theater’s magnificent restoration, of which I’d been unaware, having lived elsewhere for years. I’d assumed it was still a decrepit shadow of its former glory. Words cannot express my amazement upon seeing that restoration, and it still astonishes me every time I enter that theater, which in my memory and even now is one of the happiest places of my long life. Its restoration is like a vivid dream revived. Long live the Paramount!
Letter to editor
My daughter’s poem – suffer the little children Will Marwitz, St. Joseph This child is not yours, this child is mine Whether born in Kiev, Tokyo, New York or in Palestine – This child is not yours to gnash and devour As fodder of decades, centuries or clicks by the hour – Your all-consuming bombs and masquerading mines – Your funnels of despair and desperations and vulgar time Steal what I have painfully
Joyfully offered to this platter of life, this raucous celebration – So, who, I ask, has sought this slaughter of my child – My son, my daughter? Who has filled the beaches, the schools, cafes, sidewalks, With severed limbs, weeping eyes, of those I have hugged at breakfast bleak sunrise? My children – Buried within skyless nights – They are not part of your twisted metal – your twisted rites – My child must be everyone’s child,
Not a pawn or portion of some demented god-game, Or a peace plan offered in its name – Out! Out! Damned Spot! Do not memorialize your bloody sword, nor your dented shield – Nor lances that would not yield – Serving only as museum artifacts of slaughter – Of my son – of my daughter – Do not let my children sleep in their shoes.
Amidst turmoil, I have good news If you turn on your TV set you are going to hear bad news. If you read your newspaper, you are going to read of bad news. If you listen to the radio, there is nothing but bad news. The Stock Market is in the toilet. ISIS is taking over the world and it’s just a matter of time until they are here and killing innocent Americans in the streets. The Iranians are soon going to have nuclear weapons and they are going to use them on us. Young people have lost all respect for authority, especially police authority, and they are running wild. Soon, very soon, our country will be eliminated from the earth by, your choice, global warming, bird flu, AIDS, the Russians, the Chinese, high-fructose corn syrup or anything else you can imagine. Just fill in the blank. Most of this frightening stuff is designed to sell TV time, newspapers and radio commercials. But I have good news. We, all of us, are part of a great experiment that got its start more than 200 years ago. A relatively small group of fed-up individuals decided they would throw off the oppression of a foreign government and rebel. They decided they would take up arms and defend their new homeland. They wrote a constitution that was their law and they created a new country. That country was and is America.
Ron Scarbro Guest Writer They knew what they were doing was dangerous. They knew if they were caught by the oppressive government, they would be executed. But they also knew what they were working for was worth the sacrifice. These were strong people. These were courageous people. These were daring people. Sure there were some doubts. I am positive many never really thought they could pull it off. Some even probably stayed out of the fight and left it for others. Let me tell you also there was bloodshed. Many were killed in the effort to establish this new country. Most, fortunately, survived. They went on to establish America and make this country the most powerful force for good in the world. I said I had good news. Well I have even better news. The blood that flowed through the
veins of those early patriots still flows today in the generations which have followed. The daring and the courage that caused this great nation’s beginning is just waiting to be called on again. There is no people, no government and no army which would have a chance of defeating this country. And the world knows it. The blood of the early ones has been diluted to be sure. Some think it has disappeared. Don’t you believe it. It has been strengthened by the challenges of two world wars. It has been made stronger by immigrants who fled their own oppression to live free. Diverse races and ethnicities have come together to make a stronger America. We know some have come here with the goal in mind of destroying us. We know some have come here in an effort to create the same cesspool from which they escaped. But what we also know, and they have yet to learn, is they will fail. They will fail as others have in the past. The fire of revolution that burned in the bellies of our forefathers burns yet today in the hearts of their offspring. “Don’t Tread On Me” continues to be our motto, and that should be a word to any who think they have a chance against us. Don’t even try it. You have no idea what awaits you.

This is the “blood moon” as seen from Sartell at 9:10 p.m. Sept. 27. The sky was clear for the moment, and it was a warm, beautiful night to view the “blood moon” and the lunar eclipse.
Pope from front page pope’s visit to the United States. The gift was funded by the Minneapolis-based GHR Foundation, which funds causes that promote peace and justice throughout the world in the areas of health, education and global developments. The Saint John’s Bible will be on public view with other historic books, including the Bible printed on the press of Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press in the mid-1400s. “The Library of Congress is truly honored to receive this priceless work of human creativity and divine inspiration in honor of Pope Francis’s visit,” said Library of Congress Director James Billington. Those who presented the Bible as the pope looked on were St. John’s Abbot John Klassen, St. John’s University President Michael Hemesath and GHR Foundation CEO Amy Rauen-
horst Goldman. Also present in the room were Billington, Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Missouri) and U.S. House Speaker John Boehner. The Saint John’s Bible has earned world-wide acclaim for its ambitious scope and its dazzling aesthetic beauty. It is the first handwritten and hand-illuminated Bible in 500 years and was created just as the monks of yore made books – by a meticulous, labor-intensive calligraphy and with illustrations (known as “illuminations”) using special inks and gold leaf. The book was commissioned by St. John’s University and Abbey almost 20 years ago. Through many years, the work was created by scribe-calligraphers in a scriptorium in Wales under the direction of master calligrapher Donald Jackson, who is the official scribe for Her Majesty the Queen’s Crown Office at the House of Lords in London, England. Upon completion, The Saint John’s Bible was hailed as one of the most beautiful books and historic examples of the book-making art in world history.

Johnnies fall to Tommies
by Logan Gruber operations@thenewsleaders.com
The Johnnies recorded a homecoming loss against the University of St. Thomas on Sept. 26. The 12th-ranked Tommies broke a 7-7 halftime tie with touchdowns on each of their first three second-half drives and defeated eighth-ranked St. John’s 35-14 in front of an an-
nounced crowd of 17,327, the largest recorded football attendance in NCAA Division III history, on Sept. 26 in Collegeville. The crowd eclipsed the previous record of 16,421 set in the 2010 Johnnie-Tommie game. ESPN’s “Sportscenter on the Road” broadcast its show live in Clemens Stadium, with a backdrop of an estimated 3,500 fans, from 6-8 a.m. earlier that morning.

All Saints Academy fifthgrade students were bouncing with excitement for their new Chromebooks recently donated by the St. Joseph Jaycees. As the 15 students sat on stability balls by their desks, they commented why they liked the Chromebooks and what they use them for. Sam O'Donnell said she liked being able to use them for an app called IXL and for solving math problems like mode, median and range. "We can do just about anything on Chromebooks," O'Donnell said. "They help us to learn in so many ways: Accelerated Reader tests, Byteback typing, Math Facts Pro, IXL math skills, Spelling/Vocab City, NWEA standardized testing, and research. There is something new to look forward to each day. I am thankful to the Jaycees for donating Chromebooks to our classroom." "The best thing about Chromebooks in the classroom is we don't have to wait to take tests, wait to use the computer lab, and if we have online homework, we can try to get it done at school," said Jackson Phillip, another ASA student."This allows more free time at home and for after-
school activities." "We don't have to go to the computer lab every time we need to use a computer," said Bree Muske. "It's nice to be able to sit on my yoga ball and have all my supplies at my desk as I work with the Chromebooks." Emmanuel Kutzera said he used his for Math Facts Pro. His teacher, Tess Koltes, said students are required to learn addition and subtraction of numbers 0-19 and multiplication and division of numbers 0-12. Student Emma Kraemer showed how she used a Voice Recognition program on the Chromebook. Chromebooks are laptops which run on Google's Chrome OS system instead of Windows programs. Functions are performed in the browser and over the cloud while connected to the Internet. Koltes said students can tap into apps to use and then use Google Drive to store documents, presentations, spreadsheets and more. The St. Joseph Jaycees donated 15 Chromebooks and a charging station to the ASA students. Jaycees members Jen Warnert, Janelle Loehlein, Joe Bye, Tim Nelson and Rachel Holmstrom visited with the students recently after making the

donation. When Warnert asked if the children liked the new Chromebooks, there was a loud chorus of students shouting "Yes." "Most of our donations aren't (made) in person, and (so) visiting the school was a great opportunity for our group to see one of our actions in action," Warnert said. "The students' enthusiasm about our donation was infectious and made me very proud to be a part of an organization as generous as the St. Joseph Jaycees. The children seemed to really enjoy the learning process the Chromebooks offer and facilitate. Tess Koltes was extremely grateful and we appreciated all of her kind words as well." The Chromebooks donation was made after Koltes happened to mention to another Jaycees member, Rose Janssen, that ASA students needed more Chromebooks. Because there were some possible funds available, Janssen told her to submit a request, which she did. "I want to thank the (St. Joseph) Jaycees for the Chromebooks and the storage cart," Koltes said. "My students are thrilled to have them for a tool to assist their learning. I look forward to learning even more applications for the students to use. It makes research, writing and math practice very easy. Plus, it motivates students to learn" Because of the donation of the Chromebooks by the Jaycees, all fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade students at ASA now have Chromebooks to use during their school days. Principal Karl Terhaar said the Chromebooks allow for easier computer/Internet access and provide greater mobility as to when and where students can do computer work. "Students are very comfortable using technology," Terhaar said. "It's an educational tool that is highly engaging to students and provides more enJaycees • page 11

Clockwise, from lower left: This jazzed-up 1964 Oldsmobile turned many a head at the Millstream Arts Festival Sept. 27 in St. Joseph. Its owners (in photo) are Jerry and Doris Johnson of St. Joseph. Jerry bought the car from a man in Dassel in the early 1980s. After getting its engine overhauled and hiring someone to do its razzle-dazzle paint job, the Johnsons took to the road with it, visiting car shows in 48 states throughout the years; The Granite City Cloggers kick up their heels and entertain an enthusiastic crowd at the Millstream Arts Festival in St. Joseph Sept. 27. The warm, breezy weather drew thousands to the annual arts-and-crafts gathering; Paul Imholte (left), a widely admired local musician, entertained with two drop-by guests during the Sept. 27 Millstream Arts Festival in St. Joseph. Imholte usually plays the hammered dulcimer (seen in center of photo), but he invited Sue Pundsack to play it for one song, as well as guest Caitlin Stiles on fiddle. Both women are from St. Cloud; Lily Woods of St. Joseph and Kieran Meyer of Sartell paint to their hearts’ content at the Millstream Arts Festival Sept. 27 in St. Joseph.

There is so much good educational material and apps available online for students." He said computers are replacing a lot of research time that was previously spent in the library, and ASA staff work with students to teach them to recognize reputable and trustworthy sites on the Internet. ASA technology director Terry Elliott said the Chromebooks
help him prepare students for the future. "Our Chromebooks initiative is a vital part of our vision for students to have access to the digital tools and learning environments that they will need to succeed at the middle/high school level and beyond," Elliott said. "As the world moves on with innovations in technology, development of 21st Century skills is more important than ever." Jaycees member Tim Nelson said it was fun to see the Chromebooks being used by the students. "There has been a lot of advancements in education since I've been in school and the

Bovy from page 2 The information was referred to Legionnaire Fran Court who discussed it with the executive board. The board said they felt the St. Joseph Historical Society would be a good place to preserve Roman’s military memorabilia, and so Court contacted Ellie Studer and Marlin Eich from the historical society. “They were enthusiastic about getting the material,” Court said. Court scheduled a meeting June 16 at the American Legion to meet with Torborg, Studer, Eich, Edward and Ellie, Al and Bernie, and Arlis. The memorabilia was given to the historical society at that meeting. “After the (June) meeting, the Bovys toured the historical building and were very happy with their decision to turn the documents over to the history group,” Court said. The Bovys wanted other family
members to be able to view the military displays at the historical society and asked Torborg if she could organize a lunch for them if they scheduled a date and came as a group. Because it’s the anniversary of Roman’s death, they planned the lunch for Aug. 11. Court said it was interesting to meet the family. “They are really congenial people,” he said. “I’m happy the family got together to do this,” Studer said. “I feel happy for them. A lot of families don’t get together.” After viewing the memorabilia, other area veterans and friends joined some of the Bovy family at the American Legion and spent several hours sharing stories. The lunch was served by Legionnaire Commander Chuck Kern, historian Dave Keller and the society’s finance officer Court. Kern said it’s great the family chose to honor Roman, adding it’s important to talk to veterans who served in wars such as World War II, the Korean Conflict and others so people can hear their stories. The American Legion in St. Joseph was started more than 95 years ago.

Roosevelt, a bronze star, a purple heart, photos of Bovy in his uniform, a book about his regiment and a Bovy family history. photo by Cori Hilsgen
