Cory and Cyndi Fouquette are still “surprised” to be named the 2014-15 Pola-Czesky grand marshals, though they were told of the honor over a week ago.
The Fouquettes moved to Silver Lake from California in 1993, and in 2000, they moved back to California for a couple of years, but returned to the area in 2002 and currently reside in Hutchinson, but have always felt welcome in Silver Lake though they consider themselves “imports.”
Cory is a Cold Spring native and ended up in San Diego, Calif., through the U.S. Navy, where he met Cyndi.

Wednesday evening, July 30, a group of friends gathered at the Mark and Lori Cacka home in Brownton to try out the “human foosball” arena that will be used for Brownton Area Resources for Kids” annual fundraiser on Saturday, Aug. 9.
Lori Cacka took a short video of the practice session and posted it on her Facebook page.
Since then it has gone viral.
At a most recent check Monday, Lori Cacka’s video has had 40,282 “shares.”

In a short meeting last Tuesday evening, the Brownton City Council heard an update from Police Chief Ken Bauer about the city’s pet ordinance regarding barking dogs.
Bauer said he talked with the city attorney about the recurring nuisance of a barking dog and found that in Minnesota, “barking dog offenses” can be charged as misdemeanors and offenders can be fined up to $900, “which is something for a couple of our frequent flyers,” he told the City Council.
