Veterans in parade receive warm thanks by Dennis Dalman editor@thenewsleaders.com
Some of them had noticeable limps, others moved along in wheelchairs, still others walked more briskly with high steps, but all of them marched proudly as many spectators saluted, waved and yelled “Thank you, thank you, thank you for serving our country.” It was the ninth annual Veteran’s Parade Nov. 8, which started at the St. Cloud VA facility and ended with a coffee-hour social at Apollo High School. Although Veterans’ Day is, calendar-wise, Nov. 11, this parade was slated for three days early – on a Sunday – so more people could participate. Veterans of all wars were honored in the ceremony. As large American flags fluttered and flapped in a brisk wind, about two dozen veterans’ groups marched past the curbside spectators on the long, wide drive leading into the VA. Despite the wind, the weather was warm, brilliant with late-fall sunshine. “My kids are here to see their grandpa in the Veterans • page 5

Veterans from front page parade,” said Kim Neubert of Clearwater. At the curbside, she and her sons, Teigen and Jerrek, waved and cheered when they spotted Marvin Neubert marching in the parade. A Vietnam War veteran, he is a member of Sauk Rapids American Legion, Post 6992, the unit in which he marched. “We are very proud of him,” Kim said. Clint Fladland, 94, St. Cloud, is one of a dwindling number of World War II veterans still alive and well. Fladland, accompanied to the event by daughter Vicki Hoien of Annandale, said he was proud and happy to be part of the Veterans’ Parade. Fladland was a U.S. Marine pilot during the war in the South Pacific and saw action in the war-battered islands of Guam, Iwo Jima and Okinawa. “Okinawa was the worst,” Fladland told the Newsleader. “The Japanese were everywhere on that island. In tunnels. Bunkers. Everywhere. And they would sneak up at night and cut the throats of American soldiers. Yup, that was the worst.” Ray Schlichting of Watab Township, south of Rice, is a Korean War veteran. He served from 1953 to 1955 in the 11th Armored Division and later in the Third Army. After the war, he worked for many years as a plumber for construction com-
panies in the St. Cloud area. Schlichting volunteered, as he did last year, to get the Apollo lunchroom ready for the social hour after the parade. Among the political leaders who attended the parade and the social afterward were Reps. Tim O’Driscoll (R-Sartell), Tama Theis (R-St. Cloud), Jim Knoblach (R-St. Cloud) and St. Cloud Mayor Dave Kleis, an Air Force veteran who also marched in the parade. In the Apollo lunch room, coffee and treats were served to the veterans and their well-wishers as they gathered in small groups to carry on pleasant conversations. Among the marching groups in the Veterans’ Parade were the St. Cloud MetroVets Color Guard, the Waite Park American Legion Post 254, the St. Cloud American Legion Post 76, WWII and Korean Combat Veterans, the St. Joseph American Legion Post 328, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 290, the Central Minnesota Chapter of American Ex-Prisoners of War, the Valhalla Detachment of the Marine Corps League, the St. Cloud VFW Post 4847, the St. Cloud VFW Post 428, the St. Cloud VFW Auxiliary Post 428, the Sauk Rapids VFW Post 428, the Sauk Rapids VFW Post 6992, the Sauk Rapids VFW Auxiliary Post 6992, the Clearwater American Legion Post 323, the Military Order of the Purple Heart, Women in the Military, the Clearwater Legion Riders, St. Cloud Cub Scout Pack 21, Girl Scouts and the VA Police.

Our View
Heart-warming to see praise, support for veterans What a pleasure it was to see and hear area military veterans receive the warm praises they so richly deserve. On Nov. 8, those veterans marched in a Veterans’ Parade on the grounds of the St. Cloud VA facility. Sad to say, some of them could not march due to physical disabilities (some war-related) or other ailments that come with advanced age. Those veterans were able to use wheelchairs or ride in the parade. Along the route, all the way to Apollo High School, spectators from the curb saluted and waved at the veterans, and a chorus of “Thank you, Thank you, Thank you” could be heard on the warm autumn air. The veterans waved, smiled back and acknowledged the praise. After recent scandals about substandard or delayed medical and psychological treatment for our veterans, it’s good to know they know people respect the sufferings, deprivations and time away from families these veterans have given in service to their country. It was especially gratifying to see and hear praise for the many Vietnam War veterans who marched in the parade. After that long and divisive war, many of its veterans felt shunned and ridiculed by their fellow Americans. As a result, many were reluctant even to form bonds with others, and too many suffered alone in silence for years. Thank goodness now, thanks to more public awareness of veterans’ issues, Vietnam veterans are also honored, as well they should be. It’s one thing to disagree with this or that war, but it’s quite another to spurn honorable veterans who gave so much for this country, whether or not one agrees with a particular war. These veterans, no matter what war, deserve our utmost thanks and respect. It’s difficult for most civilians to imagine what kinds of horrors they witnessed, injuries they endured (and still endure) and how they had to do tours of duty (in many cases, multiple tours of duty) in dangerous places so far away from loved ones back home. It was good to see so many age groups at the Veterans’ Parade, especially so many young children who are learning, at such a young age, about the sacrifices generations of veterans have made for the United States and other countries they have helped. We can only hope next year, at the next Veterans’ Parade, more people take the time to show up, to give thanks and to let our veterans know they are truly appreciated and cherished. In the meantime, honoring our veterans should not be a once-a-year thing to do. They should be thanked and appreciated every day of the year, and there are many ways to do that. Meet with legislators and urge them to strengthen programs to help veterans; reach out to veterans and ask them how you can help them with their needs; contact local veterans’ organizations to find out the many ways to donate time, talents and money; consider volunteering at the St. Cloud VA facility. In recent years, fortunately, respect for veterans has grown. Let’s keep it that way by showing our support not just with words but with actions.
Opinion Dome to be ready for inauguration The United States’ Capitol dome, along with the Statue of Liberty, symbolizes freedom and democracy to countless millions of people worldwide. That is probably why al Qaeda crazies were so eager to slam a jet into it Sept. 11, 2001, to strike at the heart of what they so irrationally despised. Thanks to the brave passengers in the sky over Pennsylvania, the homicidal haters never got the chance that awful morning. Our Capitol remains, standing tall and proud both as an architectural symbol and an embodiment of the realities of freedom and democracy. Lately, though, in case you haven’t noticed, it looks a bit sickly; it’s under repair. For the past year or so, just about every time news people are reporting from Washington, D.C. the Capitol can be seen in the background. It looks hazy, as if a spider had spun a giant web around it. Years ago, I heard the dome was due for repairs, but I assumed the restoration would take only a few months or so. Earlier today, on some news show, there it was again – the dome still shrouded with scaffolding. I decided to Google “Capitol Dome” and learned some very interesting facts, many of which I didn’t know or had forgotten: • The restoration project began in 2013, when white paint was removed, architectural ornamentations taken down and cracks patched or metal-stapled. The vast network of scaffolding was added, tier by tier, gradually, starting almost exactly a year ago. The project will cost about $60 million.
Dennis Dalman Editor • The last time the dome was majorly repaired was 50 years ago when cracks were filled and other cosmetic repairs accomplished. • I was surprised to learn the dome is made of cast-iron painted white, not white marble as I had thought. What happened over time is weathering had chipped and cracked the paint, causing moisture to rust and corrode many areas of the dome, so badly that water began to leak into the magnificent cupola, inside the Capitol, with its crowning glory, a fresco painting called “The Apotheosis of George Washington” on the curved “ceiling” at the very top. That work was painted in 1866 by Greek-Italian-American artist Constantino Brumidi. All of the rotunda-dome windows are also being replaced with a special-process, reinforced wavy glass. • Construction of the Capitol dome had begun shortly before the Civil War broke out in 1861. Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated on the steps of the Capitol with the partlyfinished dome rising above him. The dome’s symbolic power was not lost on the great man, who compared the unfinished dome to the un-
finished struggle to keep the union together. The dome was actually the second dome. The first one, lasting into the 1850s, was of copper and rather squat-shaped, verging on stunted and homely, compared to the new one, which was inspired by three towering domes of Europe: St. Paul’s in London, St. Peter’s in Rome and the Pantheon in Paris. • The dome is actually two domes, one inside the other, and a stairway between the domes leads all the way to the top, rarely accessible to visitors. The outer dome rises 288 feet into the air; it is 96 feet in diameter; it weighs a staggering 14.1-million pounds. It is topped by a statue dubbed “Statue of Freedom.” • Anyone who visits Washington, D.C. will be awed by the sight of the Capitol Building and its dome, not just because it’s beautiful but because the mere sight is enough to remind the viewer of the many momentous decisions made under that dome that marked our history and shaped our very lives and destinies for so many decades. I visited the Capitol twice. Each time I was awed to the point of speechlessness. It’s a moving moment that every American should experience. • The dome-repair work is expected to be completed in time for the next presidential inauguration in 2017.

Organizers thank community for help with lunches Marcia Allard, Nancy Holden and Bailey Weyrens, Summer Lunch and Learn organizers As many of you know, the last two summers we’ve been able to host Summer Lunch and Learn at Klinefelter and Centennial parks in St. Joseph. We were able to serve lunch four days a week to kids under 18 and their parents. We also offered an activity for the kids. Helping in the planning was College of St. Benedict Community Kitchen, St. Benedict’s Monastery, Resurrection Lutheran Church, Church of St. Joseph, Central Minnesota Catholic Worker and members of the greater community. It has been a valuable experience and one that has allowed us not only to get to know the people of St. Joseph better, but since the issue
of childhood hunger continues to be an issue, it allowed us to bring attention to and make a small dent in the problem locally. Kennedy School currently has 32 percent of its students on free and reduced lunch. While this is one of the lowest percentages in the district, it’s still striking and worthy of concern. We served 80 different youth from 30 different families. During the course of the summer that meant 371 meals for youth and 171 meals for adults. At the St. Joseph Manufactured Home Park there were also more than 25 kids who received breakfast AND lunch daily. Meals were provided by the Yes! Network of St. Cloud. According to Bread for the World, an international organization that advocates for ending hunger, one in five children in our nation live at risk of hunger. For every six low-income
children who receive a school lunch, only about half also get a school breakfast, and only one also gets a free meal in the summer. There is clearly a gap here — many children aren’t getting all the meals they need. Besides the organizations list above, we want to thank the following groups and businesses for their help in feeding our youth and parents while also providing a sense of community and a positive environment: YES! Network, Bo Diddley’s, Kay’s Kitchen, Bello Cucina and Anna Marie’s Alliance. If you would like to get involved in this for next summer or wish to help financially, please contact centralmncw@gmail.com. It’s good to be in a community where care for each other continues to be a part of the fabric of all of us as we live together in a healthy way.
Progress made to help veterans State Rep. Tim O’Driscoll (R-Sartell) This time of year brings about remembrance, reflection and displays of gratitude for our military members and veterans. While we should honor our veterans daily, every Veterans’ Day on Nov. 11 presents a special opportunity to thank those who worked to keep our nation free. As a member of the Veterans Affairs Division in the Minnesota House of Representatives, I’m proud of what we accomplished in 2015 for our service men and women. This
session, I authored a bill to aid veterans in deescalation situations. My bill was included in the Public Safety Omnibus Bill and signed into law by the governor. I also supported increased funding for health care in Veteran Homes by almost $17 million – an increase of more than 16 percent. Beyond the increased funding, we simplified the application process for veteranowned small businesses to receive state certification – a provision to assist our veterans in life after their military service. Furthering the desire to help our service men and women in civilian life, the Veterans
Affairs Division also approved quicker licensing procedures for those veterans entering a number of engineering, health-care and service professions. We also created a day of recognition – “Military Spouses and Family Day” – to honor the families of current and former military members. Assisting veterans is an important part of what we do in St. Paul, and I welcome any suggestions for veteran-related legislation for the 2016 session. Again, please join me in thanking our active military and veterans for helping protect the freedoms we hold dear.
You just might be a severe driver

The ideas expressed in the letters to the editor and of the guest columnists do not necessarily reflect the views of the Newsleaders.

Chances are you are a severe driver. In fact, for most motorists today, being a severe driver is more the rule than the exception. Normal driving is defined as steady driving in steady traffic, non-extreme weather or environments. Severe driving refers to stop-and-go traffic, short commutes, rough or mountainous roads, dusty or salty environments, driving in extremely hot or cold
weather, transporting heavier loads or towing a trailer. There are easy steps you can take to reduce the effects of severe driving and improve fuel economy, such as: • Follow the “severe” service schedule in your owner’s manual. • Check fluids, including oil and filters more frequently. • Have certain components, such as brakes and shocks, inspected more regularly. • Observe the speed limit. Gas mileage
decreases rapidly above 60 mph. • Avoid quick starts and stops. Aggressive driving can lower gas mileage. • Don’t haul un-needed items in the trunk as extra weight will reduce fuel economy. • Order a free copy of the Car Care Council’s 80-page Car Care Guide at www.carcare. org/car-care-resource/car-care-guide/. By properly maintaining and repairing your vehicle, it will perform safely, dependably and efficiently for years to come, no matter the driving conditions.

Workathon from front page ASA Administrative Assistant Linda Heinen said during the workathon, volunteers wanted to help senior citizens or others who may have a disability and were not able to take care of their own yard work. Donations were not required by those who had work projects and people who wanted to donate money to the cause did not need to have jobs to be completed. Because other St. Cloud area Catholic schools also participated in workathons on the same day this year, the schools emphasized they were doing service for others and have begun calling the day Saints in Service. These schools include the ASA St. Cloud campus, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, St. Francis Xavier, St. Katharine Drexel and St. Mary Help of Christians. After volunteer workers were finished with their job duties, they were invited to Cathedral High School for lunch and activities provided by members of Cathedral sports teams and activities groups. The workathon is one of St. Joseph ASA’s largest service projects with a fundraising goal to raise money for the school. ASA St. Joseph currently has 122 students enrolled in grades kindergarten through sixth grade and 39 preschool students. To donate or for more information, contact ASA at 320-363-7505, ext. 150.
