Description: Vietnam veterans walked through Elk River on their way from Anoka to the Jerry and Patty Wetterling home in St. Joseph. The walk was first organized in 1989 to help the Wetterlings in their search for Jacob. Since then the vets have done the three-day walk for all missing and abducted children on the 5th, 10th, and 15th anniversary. The 15th was supposed to be the last walk, but the decision was made to do one more. Here, the veterans made their way along Highway 10 and the Miississippi River on the approach to the Main Street intersection. School and military offices often submit these items directly to our office. If this is not the case, you can submit a student note (acceptance into a school, being named to a dean’s list, receiving a scholarship, graduating from college) or a military note (joining a branch of the military, graduating, promotion) Photos can be included for a $10 photo fee. Weekly Meetings and Events are posted in the Star News (Saturdays) as often a space allows. This column is designed to help readers see what support groups are available in the community each day of the week. Items are edited for space and written in news style. Deadline is Noon on Wednesdays. During holiday weeks the deadline may be earlier. The Happenings column is open to any non-profit group in the District 728 communities of Rogers, Hassan Township, Dayton, Albertville, Otsego, Elk River, Ramsey, Burns Township, Nowthen, Big Lake Township, Orrock, Zimmerman, Livonia Township and Crown that would like to publicize a special speaker at a meeting or an event open to the community. Organizations that would like to inform readers about a community service, such as health screenings also are welcome. Readers are encouraged to submit letters. The Letters to the Editor are run on the Opinion page of the Star News. The Star News does encourage shorter letters to increase the number of letters that can be published each week. To be considered for publication letters must be accompanied by the writer’s full name, original signature, address and telephone number for verification. Please limit letters to 300 words or less.
