| WELS youths on mission to Vietnamese families |
If you tie rubber band ends to the upper parts of the letter V in the word Vietnamese, you wind up with the image of a sling shot.
In this case the target of the sling shot was not an enemy but simply strangers who ultimately became friends. Instead of using a stone weapon, the love of God was trusted in a gracious and generous way.

| Vet's memories stirred by visit to D. C. |
World War II veteran Alphons Scharenbroch of rural Kiel recently participated in a Northeast Wisconsin Old Glory Honor Flight to Washington, D. C. where he and 96 other veterans viewed the World War II Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, and numerous other key sites in the U.S. Capitol.
The Honor Flight is a way by which WWII veterans are being honored for their service. Private funding has made this possible for a generation of veterans that is passing.
Scharenbroch, 86, who is a member of the Kiel VFW Post 6707 was lucky to be included in the June 1 Honor Flight because one of the men on the flight list was unable to make the trip.

| Emotions drive Kiel native's paint brush |
There are no words to describe the artistic accomplishments of Dean Baer-his artwork loudly speaks for itself.
But if words could be found, they might just be "emotion" and "truth."
In 1982, Dean's world was a blank canvas, but a life including art in some way was obvious. He journeyed to The Colorado Institute of Art in Denver, Colo. and studied advertising and design, basic color principles and perspective after graduating from Kiel High School.
