The Hometown Pride Days Pancake Breakfast was once again held this year, sponsored by the Cold Spring Area Chamber of Commerce.  This is the second year in a row that the breakfast was held at St. Boniface Parish Center.  The breakfast is offered free to the public with the intent that most folks will make a free will offering toward an annual project promoted by the chamber.  This year all of the proceeds collected during the breakfast will be donated to purchasing new banners to line the city downtown streetscape.  This year's Pancake Breakfast was co-chaired by Bob Gerads of Central Minnesota Federal Credit Union and John Frischmann with GLT Architects.

GAS PUMP CREDIT CARD RIP OFF * An Investigative Report

 

In this story Duane Kuss, DigElog Network Creator, investigates a problem that could affect anybody that pays with a credit card at the gas pump. DigElog ROCORI was on location at the Holiday Station in Cold Spring to discuss an issue that was brought to our attention by the St. Cloud Police Department.

Here's the document that was circulated on the internet by St. Cloud, MN Police.
*********************************
Subject: Paying @ the pump

This email is from the St. Cloud Police Department. Please read if
you use your credit/debit card when purchasing gas at the pump!!!!

With the price of gas and people getting desperate, this is likely
to occur more often. A party used her credit/debit card to purchase
gas at the pump. She received her receipt. However, when she checked her
statement,there were two $50 charges added in addition to her purchase.

Upon investigation, she found out that because she did not press the
'clear' button on the pump, the employee inside the store was able to use
her card to purchase his/her own gas! To keep this from happening, after
you get your receipt, you must press the 'CLEAR' button or your
information will be stored until the next customer inserts their
card.
Have a good day.

In this investigative report you will hear from Holiday Station owner, Marlyne Molitor as she discusses how older gas pumps could leave you and your bank account vulnerable. Watch this story and learn how you can protect yourself.

In part three of our exclusive interview with Cold Spring Elementary Principal Jerry Sparby, Jerry discusses some of the issues that face today’s youth. He also describes some of the changes that he has seen in children over the years.  While he doesn’t think the overall nature of children has changed, he does think some of their tendencies have evolved. It is because of these changes, parents must also take a close look at how they connect with their children.

Although Mr. Sparby will be leaving the school district, his love and dedication to the families he served will not be forgotten.

As we show you another one of the many festival stories we’ve covered this summer, none may be as unique as this story. At the annual Sauk Rapids Food Fest, DigElog ROCORI had a chance to catch up with Minnesota strong man, Danny King. King competes in the 175 lb strong man division, but don’t be fooled by his “low” weight. Some of the lighter participants at this competition can lift over twice their own body weight! Watch this exclusive interview and see all the highlights from this event.
