At first she cashed in the points for t-shirts because it took less points to acquire them, but she really liked the idea of giving the veterans a new pair of shoes. She was encouraged when she found Nikes had gone down in price and if she shopped around, she could find them on clearance for as little as $30 or $40. After a few months of collect- ing, she had enough points to buy some shoes and she requested an e-card for the Nike store. The e- cards come in the form of an email which she took to the Nike store in Albertville and combed the clearance rack. That was back in January. Then this spring, she purchased the remaining pairs. In total, she earned $269 in Coke Reward Points and she fig- ures she bought about $800 worth of shoes with that thanks to sales and clearance racks.

Resource Training & Solutions“While each of you have

achieved excellence in the class-room, arts, co-curricular activi-ties and volunteerism, it is theWHY effort behind the resultsthat matters,” said Ron Wilke,presiding superintendent at theStudents of Excellence Banquetand Recognition ceremony. Theevent was Wednesday, April 27,at the River’s Edge ConventionCenter in St. Cloud. “Never losesight of WHY you do the hardwork,” he added.

As the crowd of 550 gatheredprior to the event, students, par-ents and teachers greeted one an-other and visited about springactivities, upcoming graduation

and college plans. But mainly

the atmosphere was filled withwarmth and laughter.

The evening’s presentationsbegan with Mark Schmitz, exec-utive director of Resource Train-ing & Solutions, welcomingeveryone to the 29th annualevent. Schmitz quoted WinstonChurchill saying success isgoing from failure to failurewithout the loss of enthusiasm.“You are here because you get toexperience the success of allyour hard work tonight. Cer-tainly along the way, there havebeen challenges. Some easier,some harder than others. But,you did not let that stop youfrom excelling. Keep up yourenthusiasm as you head off to

college and face new chal-

lenges,” Schmitz said.With humor and a powerful

message, keynote speaker Wil-low Sweeney, challenged stu-dents to think about how theyfeel on a good day when every-thing is going great. Embracethose “good day” habits andchoose them every day. “It canbe easy to go down the negativethoughts and actions road,”Sweeney said. “Make TLC yourbanner. T for thinking effec-tively, L for learning efficientlyand well, and the big C for com-municating with others in a waythat lets them know they mat-ter,” she continued.

Question: When there is avehicle mishap, it is reported tothe public that alcohol did ordid not play a part. What abouta cell phone? Also, there isnever any mention that drugsdid or did not play a part in themishap. With the known wide-spread availability/use of drugs, shouldn't this also be adetermination in a vehiclemishap?

Answer: Good question. Allpossible factors that contributeto a crash are investigated, butnot all pieces of the investiga-tion are initially public. Perpublic and private data laws,law enforcement is required toprovide public data to the pub-lic and media as requested.

Some of the public data in-formation that law enforcement

is required to report if re-quested includes:

• Action time, date andplace of the incident.

• Brief factual reconstruc-tion of events.

• Victims and casualties, un-less protected by law.

• Witnesses, unless pro-tected by law.

• Resistance encountered.• Pursuit.• Weapons used by agency

or other individual.• Charges, arrest or search

warrant.• Identities of all law en-

forcement agencies involved.• Identities of individual of-

ficers taking action, unless pro-tected by law.

• Date, time and legal basisfor release from custody.

• Case number.• Healthcare facilities victim

is taken to.• Seat belts worn.• Blood alcohol concentra-

tion, if known at the time of therequest.

Driving under the influenceand distracted driving aremajor contributing factors infatal and serious injury crashesin Minnesota. Driving underthe influence is not only an al-cohol-related crime, it also in-cludes illegal and abusedprescription drugs, or taken incombination with alcohol.

If controlled substance im-pairment is suspected, a bloodor urine test will be taken bysearch warrant by the officer.That sample is sent to the Bu-reau of Criminal Apprehension(BCA) for analysis that willshow if drugs/alcohol were inthe driver’s system and theamount at the time of the inci-dent. The analysis can take upto six weeks. As a result wecannot report drug impairment,apart from suspicion, until the

results are returned from thelab.

Alleged distracted drivingcrashes take time, especiallywhen processing data to seehow a cell phone may haveplayed a part in the crash. A se-rious and fatal crash investiga-tion will take a number of weeks to months to complete.All possible contributing fac-tors will be examined to deter-mine why the crash occurred.

Please don’t drive whileunder the influence and try toavoid or limit all distractionswhile driving.

Until next time, stay out of the trees!

After a couple of comments about seeing families of Canada geesewith newly-hatched goslings, I paid special attention to a pair in the

pond just west of Varner Lake Sunday and spotted their offspringsfollowing them. There are numerous species, both domestic andwild, and I gave the internet a quick look and learned they are morethan numerous. I also learned that “Geese are bred mainly for their meat, which is particularly popular in Germanic language cou ntriesaround Christmas. Of lesser commercial importance is goose breed-ing for eggs, schmaltz, or for the fattened liver (foie gras). A fewspecialized breeds have been created for the main purpose of weedcontrol (e.g. the Cotton Patch Goose), or as guard animals and (informer times) for goose fights (e.g., the Steinbach Fighting Gooseand Tula Fighting Goose).” Both of my parents came from G erman

backgrounds and a goose dinner on Christmas seemed to be a tradi-tion with them. I can also remember my mother ta lking about usinggeese for weed control in the garden as well as us kids (the geesewere more effective). She also liked to tell about rescuing me froma mean gander that was beating the daylights out of me with itswings and beak. I was about two years old at the time and don’t re-call a thing! . . .

* * *Vanna and I are seeing a lot of birds in Ney Park that seem espe-

cially interested in the new bluebird houses that have been installedalong one of the trails. It’s probably part of an effort to bring back

bluebirds in Minnesota. I assumed the birds we were seeing werethe real thing, but an authority on birds, Richard Demars, suggested

they might be swallows which are similar looking and have some blue fea thers. He said swal lows have a forked tail. He suggested binoculars. The internet says, “Bluebirds are a symbol of happiness.They like to eat meal worms at bird feeders. Male bluebirds aremuch more brightly colored than females. Although sighting a blue-

bird is considered an early sign of spring, a few usually linger untillate December and some return as early as February.” They can befound in all of the counties in Minnesota . . . We also gotto talking about yellow-winged blackbirds which are not as prevalentas the red-winged variety. We agreed the place to look was inswampy areas.

* * *My Florida connection, Mike Muller, called Saturday to let me

know there was still time for George Palmer and myself to comedown for fishing before he comes back in mid-May. He whetted myfishing appetite with a tale about the four of them, guide, Jesse, arelative, Lenny, and his fiance, Bonnie, and himself, catching 124Shell Crackers that day with some of them going a pound. They alsocaught some catfish and another specie which escapes me. He saidthey fished with live crickets and used up something like 300 thatday. . .

* * *Catching grasshoppers were part of the sunfish fishing trip ritual

a friend of the family used to take me and my brothers on to EastBattle Lake when we were kids. They were effective bait, both for sunfish, crappies and an occasional bass. Pasture grass or short al-falfa were good places to find grasshoppers. I haven’t been out fish-ing since the cooler weather showed up, but hope to get outWednesday. . . In the meantime, I’ve been hacking away atthe honey-do list and I noticed Sunday most of the lawns on my

block have been mowed except mine. I gave that a try late Sunday, but was forced to quit when I discovered I hadn’t purchased anygasoline since last fall. . . It’s also time to think about lookingfor Morel mushrooms and, with all the rain we’ve had, there should

be a good crop this year!

Dear Editor, I was glad to see Loretta

Schut’s letter last week. Intoday’s atmosphere of politicalcorrectness it takes courage toexpress one’s opinion and standup against a liberal’s idea of what is right. While these peoplepreach tolerance they do not tol-erate an opposing view. Logic

also has no credibility with themsince only feelings matter. I pre-sume the individuals thatLoretta is talking about have,through the years, been able totake care of their personal needs.Of the .3% I doubt that all feltuncomfortable, but now a good

portion of the 99.7% of the pop-ulation may feel uncomfortable.Might a law as passed by NorthCarolina not only protect chil-dren, but maybe the transgen-ders as well? We all know thatnot everyone is tolerant of peo-ple who are different, so whystart a fire? We can solve this bysaying, if you can physically use

a urinal as intended, you are inthe right place. If not, try thenext door. Loretta may or maynot approve of this letter, but Iapplaud her for standing up andspeaking out. As for me, if I of-fended anyone, get over it.

Bugs. Spring is about bugs.

It's been a couple weeks sincethe first suicidal bugs of the yearflew into my windshield.

Not that we haven't had bugsin the winter. Every other yearwe get Asian beetles in thehouse. Boxelder bugs take thenon-Asian years. They all wearblack and orange shells. Oneyear the Asians decided to mul-tiply behind the cover of a win-dow air conditioner, andthrough sheer mass of numbersmanaged to squeeze into thehouse. I took the air conditionerout and latched the window, butthey located a crack in the tuck-under basement door.

Then we got ants. One year

they found a spot by the fire-place that hadn't been caulkedand tried to take possession of the cupboard. The attack tookplace in March as I remember,way too early for ants. Theywere little brown ones. Whenthey appeared, the beetles left.Evidently the beetles don't likeants either.

This year, the ants drove outthe beetles once again. Blackants this time. Tiny ones. Theyshowed up in the bathroom sinkand in the cabinet where I keepmy mouthwash. Clever detec-tive work convinced me theyliked my mouthwash, but not

the other mouthwash next to it.Wife and I washed a thousandlittle black ants down the sink,and caught some wanderers in afew other places. Where theygot in is still a mystery. It's thefirst good cleaning that cabinethas had in years.

It reminds me of the St. Paul

Winter Carnival. Funny-lookingpeople dress in furs and cele-brate ice and snow. After theyhave their fun, here comes Vul-can with warmth and otherfunny-looking people in blackand red who drive away thesnow and bring back warmweather. Then they all go awayuntil the next year. Here, beetlescelebrate the winter inside, andants come to drive them out andbring on warm weather. Obvi-ously, bugs have been readingthe St. Paul paper. The bugsdon't go away until next year,though. They go outside to messup my lawn.

Mice are a spring thing, too.So far, two have met an un-timely end as they attempted totake refuge inside to get out of the rain. We learned that theydon't like mint, so we boughtsome stuff that smells good tous but bad to them. The two fa-talities apparently had devel-

oped bad noses or were deeplyaverse to wet weather.What we need are outdoor

types of mice who hate bugs of all kinds. I would be happy tolet a mouse or two in for anevening if it promised to go out-side to sleep and eat after dis-patching all our ants andbeetles.

If we had any trouble withthat arrangement, the other daya cat came by and asked to comein. That threat would be enoughto guarantee our understanding.Of course, the cat would have toagree to a few rules as well. Wedon't have a cat box.

For years, Dr. Quinn Stroblhas appeared before the WrightCounty Board of Commissionersto give the board an annual reportof the deaths that occurred in thecounty the previous year.

Strobl appeared before the

county board at its April 26 meet-ing for an agenda item that hadbeen set weeks earlier, but, giventhe scope of the Midwest Med-ical Examiner’s office, Strobl andher staff are the contracted med-ical examiner for 19 counties inthe state. It not only includesWright County, but also CarverCounty, where Strobl and herstaff conducted the autopsy of music icon Prince, the results of which are expected in the nextcouple of weeks.

Whether it’s the death of afarmer in a rural area or a rockand roll legend, Strobl said all au-topsies are conducted the same.

“Our office investigatesdeaths that fall under the medicalexaminer’s jurisdiction or have tobe reported to the medical exam-iner,” Strobl said.

While the death of a world-wide celebrity is going to draw alot of attention for Strobl’s office,it is just another in a long line of dead bodies that come to her of-

fice with law enforcement andfamily members looking for a de-finitive cause of death.

In 2015, the medical examinerconducted 49 autopsies on the481 deaths that occurred inWright County. Of those, the ma-

jority were for medical reasonslike heart attacks and strokes. Thelargest number of autopsies, un-fortunately, were conducted fol-lowing suicides.

In meetings with Congress,community bankers advocated:

• Tiered and proportionate reg-

ulation under ICBA’s Plan forProsperity regulatory relief plat-form, including via the CLEARRelief Act (S. 812/H.R. 1233),CLEAR Relief Plus Act (S. 927),Community Bank Access to Cap-ital Act (H.R. 1523), ConsumerFinancial Protection Bureau Ex-amination and Reporting Thresh-old Act (S. 482/H.R. 4099), andkey provisions of the FinancialRegulatory Improvement Act (S.1484),

bankers to visit the nation’s capi-tol and speak with their membersof Congress regarding crucialcommunity banking issues suchas regulatory relief, data andcyber security and repealing tax-payer-funded subsidies for creditunions and farm credit systemlenders.

OWEN LUNDY’ S

SMOKED FISH

By Owen LundyOwen Lundy here to tell you

where there’s some great hunting and fishing. I came from a placeup north in a town called Bena,located between Grand Rapidsand Bemidji. I owned 40 acres of beautiful timberland right off of Chippewa National Forest. Being a retired sawmill worker I en-

joyed both hunting and fishing with my son and two daughters.With that in mind, I’d not only fryour catch of walleye, northern,and Red Lake crappies in a home-made seasoned cornmeal mix-ture, but enjoyed smoking white

fish in an old steel-lined refriger-ator that I had on my acreage. It had two racks inside making it

possible to smoke quite a fewwhite fish at a time. After filleting the fish our family caught, I’d

soak them overnight in a Mortonbrand brine mix. Once removed

from the brine it’s necessary to let the fish dry out. My smoking arrangement was to first set a hot

plate on the bottom of my steel-lined refrigerator. On top of theheated plate, I’d put an old cast iron frying pan filled with hard maple wood. I had plenty of wood in those days off of my 40 acres,and being I worked in a saw-mill there, I cut it myself. Keep in mind that green wood works just fine. I kept close watch on those fish,though, because the temperaturecould rise as high as 200 F. in that

fridge, and I didn’t want it to ex-ceed 160 degrees and burn the

fish. Once they turn a nice goldenbrown and cracked pretty good,they’re done. Not bragging, but my largest catch was from St.

Lewis River in Duluth where I

caught a 48-inch Sturgeon. Eventhough I hear they’re not bad eat-ing, I had to throw it back in be-cause of preservation restrictions.

My largest speared fish was a 23lb. Northern, which I find eventastier than walleye. As much as I like Maple Lake, I sure miss those40 acres, and the fine outdoor liv-ing I had with my wife and kids.

With Mother’s Day on Sunday and the days usually lookingmore like “Walleye Widow Weekend” than a celebration for mom, this year can be different. With the 2016 MN FishingOpener set for May 14th, many husbands and sons want to get out on the lake as soon as possible. This year they have an ex-cuse; it’s “Take a Mom Fishing Weekend.” Set for May 7th and 8th it’s a great time to show your mom (or children’s mom) how fun shing can be, and give her a much deserved get-away un-less, of course, she prefers shopping. Any mother who is a resi-dent of Minnesota can sh without a license on Saturday and Sunday, May 8th and 9th, during “Take a Mom Fishing Week-end.” With this special event in mind, recipe entrants offer tasty ways to x those sh, along with precious family stories.

BAKED FISH WITH HERBS

By Kitty Winter I have to admit, I enjoyed fish-

ing, but not staying out on thelake as long as Rey and my sons,Scott and Steve, would. However,when it came to eating their catch, I’d be the first one to invitemy neighbors over for a Villa

gathering to feast on their catch. I’d use an herb-flavored coating that everyone loved.

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ cup oleo melted

• ½ tsp. sweet basil• 2/3 cup cracker crumbs• ½ tsp. oregano• ¼ cup parmesan cheese• ½ tsp. garlic• Salt to tasteDIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix to-gether the dry ingredients. Meltthe oleo in a 9/13 inch pan and tiltso it goes to one end. Dip fish intooleo and then into the cracker mixture. Bake uncovered in thesame pan for 25-30 minutes.

SMOKED SALMON

FISH DIP

By Tristin Dockter, Grade 6 The reason I chose this recipe

is because it reminds me of one of my favorite birthdays when I went out fishing with my uncle and

grandpa. The limit was 15 fishthat year, and I caught 14 whichwere all about 30 inches long.

My uncle only got one that wasbarely 7 inches long, and my

grandpa only got zero. - Tristin Dockter

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ fillet of smoked salmon• 1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese• Lemon juice(we use 5 drops)• 3 drops Tabasco sauce• ¼ bag Goldfish crackers(the extra cheese brand)

DIRECTIONS:

Grab a medium size bowl anda buttered knife. Scrape all theskin off the salmon and put intothe bowl. Don’t forget to take the

bones out- (12 oz. prepared). Putthe cream cheese in the bowl andmix until smooth, add the lemon

juice, and Tabasco sauce. Crushabout ¼ of the bag of the goldfishcrackers and add to creamed mix-ture, stir well and start dipping.

HOUSEHOLE HINTS:

How to get rid of fish smell inhouse after cooking. Hang a wettowel near the stove or oven whileyour fish fries. The wet towel ab-sorbs much of the fishy smell.Soak your fish in milk for at leasthalf an hour before cooking it. It’ssaid to cut down on odor whilecooking it, and without changingthe flavor of the fish.

Of the 49 autopsies, 17 werethe result of suicides – seven hang-ings, six gunshot wounds, twodrownings, one blunt force traumafrom a jump and one a combina-tion of mixing drugs and alcohol.Of the 17 suicides, 12 were menand five were women.

Strobl said that, while the 2015totals were the highest in the lastfour years, the numbers tend to re-main consistent within countiesand from county-to-county fromone year to the next.

“If you look at the five-yearstatistics, there are a little bit of highs and a little bit of lows fromyear-to-year,” Strobl said. “Thepercentage usually remains aboutthe same, but it varies – the peakbeing 18 in 2011, followed by 12,12 and 13, and then last year therewas a little bit of a bump to 17.But, the percentages usually re-main about the same in all of ourcounties.”

Strobl said that her officeworks closely with law enforce-

ment to determine the cause of death and potentially whethercriminal charges should be filed.She said her office is forthcomingwith information on the cases putunder their charge, with the excep-tion of extremely high-profilecases like that of Prince’s autopsy.

“I can answer any questions…those unrelated to Carver County,”Strobl said.

While her office likely willnever have another autopsy forsomeone as high profile as Prince,her office will continue to investi-gate all deaths within its jurisdic-tion and attempt to provide theanswers both families and law en-forcement seek to find.

In other items on the April 26agenda, the board:

* Hosted students as part of thecounty’s annual Boy-Girl CountyDay. The event brings high school

juniors to the county courthouse toget a first-hand glimpse of howcounty government operates. It in-cluded a short session with the

county board, as well as presenta-tions from several county depart-ments. This year, studentsrepresented Dassel-Cokato, MapleLake and Monticello high schools.

* Authorized signatures on the2016 Minnesota Cities Participa-tion Program. The MCPP is a pro-gram that has been in place formore than 20 years that offersfirst-time homebuyers the oppor-tunity to access low-interest loans.Historically, Wright County hasnot only exhausted its entire allo-cation every year, in most years ithas accessed funding that went un-used by other counties.

* Referred discussion of settingcounty assessment contract ratesto the May 11 ways and meanscommittee.

* Authorized sending a letter tothe Stearns County Board of Com-missioners in response to a letterfrom Stearns County concerningthe Clearwater River WatershedJoint Powers Board. StearnsCounty imposes term limits on

board/advisory committee mem-bers and said that, for the purposesof uniformity, Wright and Meekercounties – co-members of the wa-tershed board – should put termlimits on its members. The boardapproved sending a letter saying itdoesn’t plan on putting term limitrestrictions on its board members.

* Approved a pair of appoint-ments to the Wright County Ex-tension Committee. Joey Hartleywas named a youth appointmentto the committee through Aug. 31,2016. Commissioner Charlie Bor-rell appointed Tammi Dahlman torepresent his commissioner dis-trict. Her term will run throughDec. 31, 2016.

Mother's Day is the one dayeach year when men, womenand children across the countrygather to honor the mothers intheir lives. Though it can bechallenging to find new andunique ways to display your af-fection for Mom on Mother'sDay, rest assured that some-times the simplest concepts are

the ones mothers most appreci-ate. This year, look no furtherthan the following ideas forsome inspiration as you aim tomake this Mother's Day as spe-cial as possible for the motheror mothers in your life.

• Give the gift of sweettreats. What better way to high-light mom's sweetness thanwith some delicious treats made

just for her? Whethe r you de-cide to whip up some home-made confections in the kitchenor visit a nearby store for some-thing decadent, mom will nodoubt appreciate the chance toindulge on her big day. Momswho prefer cookies and portablesnacks will no doubt enjoyPocky and Pe^ajoy biscuitsticks. These tasty snacks fromGilco are dipped or filled withpopular flavors, such as choco-late and strawberry, and are

now available with green teacream. Pair with a cup of tea,coffee or whichever beveragemom prefers to complement herfavorite treat. Pocky is avail-able in most grocery stores, andcan typically be found in theAsian food section.

• Make a meal to remember.Mom deserves a night off from

dinner detail, and while diningout is an option, a homemademeal may come across as moreintimate and heartfelt. Thanksto kitchen appliances that makeit easier than ever to preparegourmet meals at home, youcan now make restaurant-stylemeals in your kitchen withoutsacrificing restaurant-qualitytaste. For example, new tacookRice Cookers from Tiger Cor-poration do more than just per-fectly steam rice. They alsoincorporate synchro-cooking tocook two different items atonce. Present mom with her fa-vorite Asian-inspired poultry-and-rice dish or use the cookerto easily bake bread or steam aside of vegetables. Pair themeal with her favorite wine andmake sure you handle all thecleanup.

While mom waits for dinner

to be served, a soothing cup of tea can set the tone for a relax-ing evening. The Tiger HotWater Kettle boils water in sec-onds. With three temperaturesettings and a de-chlorinationcycle for removing chemicaltastes and odors, the kettle al-lows mom to quickly enjoy acup of her favorite brew. Thesekitchen essentials are availableat Bed, Bath and Beyond.

• Plan a Mother's Day picnic.Busy moms may look forwardto a break from the bustle of daily routines. An afternoonpicnicking outdoors can be theideal way to enjoy a special

Manuel Lanwer, age 18, hastraveled all the way from

Switzerland to study in MapleLake. Lanwer has definitelybeen enjoying his time in Amer-ica and even more so in town.His older sister was an exchangestudent studying in Pennsylva-nia a couple of years back, andLanwer wanted to follow in herfootsteps, leading him to MapleLake August 31 of this year. Hewanted to see another cultureand study up on his English andother aspects of school, alongwith experiencing somewheredifferent.

Lanwer has been most inter-ested in a couple of things. InSwitzerland, high school sportsdo not exist. If someone wantedto play a sport, they would haveto join a club and Lanwer men-tioned that not a lot of peopleand fans get behind it. Aftergoing to a couple of games herein Minnesota, he has been inawe of how many people willcome out to a sporting event. "Ilove high school sports," hementioned, pointing out that heis a sports fanatic. He wouldlike to make a career out of sports one day and would alsolike to work in zoology and bi-ology. He even talked about be-

coming a professor of higher ed-ucation. Lanwer has alreadybeen to a football game and aMinnesota Wild game and reallyliked the experience. He will bewatching more sports during therest of the school year.

Lanwer is excited to see whatcomes next in this school yearand said the people in MapleLake have been very nice andaccommodating. He has beenliving with hosts Teresa Kintopand Brian Bentley in MapleLake and the high school hasbeen very welcoming. Whenasked what was the biggest dif-ference between here andSwitzerland is, he answered"America's free refills (soda) arepretty cool."

“It was a good deal,” she said.

“The kids working at the Nikestore were so helpful. They haveto code in an 18 or 19 digit codefor the Coke Rewards Program,but they didn’t complain. Andwhen I told them who they werefor, they thanked me for doing it.That makes me feel good.”

Of course, it would havetaken Decker a lot longer to col-lect all those points if she hadbeen doing it alone, but Moelterand some friends from workchipped in by creating their ownCoke Rewards account and thengiving Decker the points.

It’s easy enough, she said.Coke points are found on bottlecaps, inside the corner of 12

packs and inside the cases. Thenit’s just a matter of going to My-CokeRewards.com and settingup a free account.

Decker heard about Eagles

Healing Nest through the Auxil-

iary’s district president who hadmade helping the home her per-sonal project one year. Thehome, which has a sign that pro-claims “a place for veterans toheal with honor,” shelters about70 veterans in a rural setting.Some of the veterans are home-less, others are still trying to ac-climate into civilian life, and allare fighting the invisible woundsof war. The veterans are encour-aged to do chores around thehome, including some groundswork and feeding the animals.According to Decker, they taketurns making lunch and doing thedishes. The entire institution isrun on donations which is why

contributions like Decker’s areso important.

Over the years the VFW Aux-iliary has donated many items tothe St. Cloud VA Hospital, in-

cluding Nike tennis shoes, tee

shirts, tote bags, quilts, and hand-made caps and scarves.“We decided the last bunch of

shoes we acquired should go toThe Eagles Healing Nest as theyrun on donations,” Decker said.“Unlike the VA hospitals, EaglesHealing Nest will accept usedclothing and shoes, but our feel-ing is that our veterans deserve anew pair of shoes.”

Anyone who wants to helpwith the project can do so by sav-ing Coke points themselves andsetting up an account.

“With all the graduation par-ties coming up, there will be lotsof Coke points that should be putto good use instead of going in

the garbage or recycling bins,”Decker said.

Products included in this pro-gram are all Coke products,Barq’s rootbeer, Dasani water,

Fuse, Fanta orange, Mello Yello,

Minute Maid, Powerade, andSprite.Decker herself is almost ready

to cash in her points again formore shoes.

“I’m going to keep going withthe shoes. This is something theveterans can use,” she said.

Starting the second week of May, the VFW Auxiliary willalso begin their annual poppycampaign. Veterans make theflowers which the Auxiliary buysand then gives away for a dona-tion. The donations stay in theMaple Lake Auxiliary to be usedto help local vets and their fami-lies. Members of the Auxiliarywill be stationed outside busi-

nesses around town that weekgiving them away.

In addition, as of August2015, the Auxiliary can now ac-cept male members.
