December 2008 – Clinton Todd Elliott

December 12th, 2008

FEATURED RESIDENT-DECEMBER- 2008

We don’t have many teenagers out here in our little township, so Clint Elliott stands out in more ways than one.

He was born Clinton Todd Elliott on December 20, 1990, to DeVonne and Todd Elliott, who owned a home on McDermott Creek Road. Clint has one sister Candy.

Clint’s mom passed away when he was 3 years old and at age 5, he moved with his dad and Candy to Isanti. He attended Isanti Elementary School through the 6th grade. His father married Vicki Simonson in 1997 and this brought his step-brother David into his family. When David had graduated from high school in 2004, the family moved back to their homestead in Cloverton.

Clint is now a junior at East Central High School in Banning Junction where he excels in art. Some of his beautiful pottery work can be seen and purchased at the Hay Creek Outpost, which is owned and operated by his family. Clint has worked part-time at the Outpost since it opened. He also has the job of mowing the lawns at the town hall and the Cloverton cemetery.

In addition to art, Clint has an interest in landscaping. An example of his talent with this is the lawn work he has done at their home. He also enjoys 4-wheeling and snowmobiling. His mom Vicki added to this interview by saying that Clint also does some home interior work in their home.

Clint will graduate from high school in 2010 and is looking forward to a future that includes landscaping. Those of us out here in New Dosey Township know that this friendly, hardworking young man will do well at whatever he chooses for his life’s work.

January 2008 Deloris Schirmer

January 2008 Featured Resident

Deloris Schirmer lives in a beautiful home she had built on Squib Creek Drive in the summer of 1998. After the death of her beloved husband Norm in 1992, she had to decide between staying in her home in Roseville or building her dream home alone up here in New Dosey Township. She opted for the woods, country roads, and quiet living to be offered here.

Deloris was born on a farm near Groton, South Dakota, in 1931, and lived there until she was 14 years old and her parents bought a different farm near Westport, SD. She graduated from high school in Westport, then worked for several years in Aberdeen as a waitress and fry cook at a truck stop. It was there that she met the trucker who would become her husband and the love of her life. They were married in 1958 at the Little Brown Church in the Vale in Nashua, Iowa.

It was during her thirty-year tenure as a school bus driver in the Cities, that she and Norm decided to look for land up North. She was intrigued by an ad that John Regenold had for “forty acres of sugar maples”, so they made that purchase, then eventually bought 40 more acres.

Aside from hunting and fishing, which Deloris thoroughly enjoyed for any years, her main interest has been the raising, training and showing of her Chesapeake dogs. She has shown her dogs as far away as Sault St. Marie, Michigan, and many other sites in the U.S. and Canada. She has retired from dog shows now also, but still has one dog, Little Bit, living with her. Doloris is also an oil painter and likes to spend some of her long, winter days at her easel painting her specialty of outdoor scenery.

Deloris has three sons- Mike, who lives in Brandon, SD, Del, who lives in Roseville, and Don, who is now an official resident of Cloverton.

Deloris is a member of the New Dosey Board of Adjustment and the Seven County Senior Federation.

Those of us who know her appreciate her feistiness, her candor, and her kindness.
