This is a cute video clip of a daschund (wiener dog) who will load and shoot a tennis ball thrower and then fetch the ball himself.  Here is Jerry’s story . . . click on the link to see.

Forty years ago, I was two days old. Of course, I have no direct memories of Dr. Martin Luther King, the Baptist pastor who accomplished so much through peaceful means during turbulent times for our country. But as was said tonight during an interview with one of Dr. King’s friends “You can kill the dreamer, but you can’t kill the dream.” Let that be so.

Here are some quotes from Dr. King worth repeating:
“A riot is at bottom the language of the unheard.”
“A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.”
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.”

Prominent Cokato business owner Barb Kliewer, only 54 years old, died unexpectedly Wednesday, after suffering a stroke Friday, March 28. As most of you know, she is the wife of Paul Kliewer, who used to work as the athletic director at Dassel-Cokato Schools for many years. The Kliewers used to own the Grounds coffee shop in Cokato (which they started up), and are associated with ownership in three Subway sandwich shops in Cokato, Delano and Winsted (the latter of which they sold a few years ago). Barb Kliewer also operated Barbereze Hair Salon in Cokato as well. The funeral service will be Wednesday, April 9 at 11 a.m. at Living Word Christian Center in Brooklyn Park. Our condolences go out to the family.
