Kingsbury Cancer Cares, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization that desires to help those with cancer (does not include skin cancer un- less melanoma) that has incurred or re-occurred since August 2008. The organization is supported by local walks that are held every other year between Arlington, De Smet and Lake Preston and also by cancer teams and personal donations. The organiza- tions, one-time dispersal of limited funds, is for the cancer patients. A board of directors distributes the money with no strings attached. The money is used to defray the other costs of cancer treatments not covered by medical insurance. It might be the cost of gas to get to the hospital, overnight lodging or even a restaurant meal. These aren’t big ex- penses, but they add up for the family. It is important to remember that the Kingsbury Cancer Cares is not associated with the American Cancer Society. All money raised stays in the county to directly benefit local cancer patients. This year’s cancer walk was sup- posed to be in Arlington, but with CO- VID-19, it was postponed until 2021.

PAID FOR BY LAKE PRESTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS kingsburyjournal.com | KINGSBURY JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2020 13 Lake Preston Parlor Organ finds new home BY MARY ROCKINO

This Cottage organ has been in the Osvog family since the early 1970s when Leroy Osvog’s father bought it for his mother who was recovering from hip surgery. He thought it would be a good form of physical therapy for her to pump the pedals. Peg Osvog Pederson recalls that Grandma was a good musician who loved to play, and when she got older, the children would pump the pedals for her. In 2020, the Osvog children donated it to the Lake Preston Museum for the parlor area on the lower level. This lovely instrument crafted by the Cot- tage Organ and Piano Company is a perfect addition to the display. The Chicago Cottage Organ and Piano Company was established in 1879 as Wolfinger Organ Co. In 1885, the name was changed to Cottage Organ and Piano Co., and they built instruments until the early 1900s. Organs were operated via pumping large foot pedals, which would force air across a bank of reeds. Early or- gans were fairly basic in design, but the organs built in the last quarter of the 19th century were some of the most lavish instruments money could buy.
