New Ulm, Minn. — The antique popcorn popper in New Ulm helps mark the seasons. The onset of spring means the smell of butter is just around the corner. And no more "pop-popping" in the air is a sure bet winter is on the way.

A favorite snack for young and old alike, popcorn was one of few luxuries people could still afford during the Great Depression.

Bright red with yellow trim, the wagon has been serving residents of New Ulm since 1918. It's carted out each year by the Brown County Historical Society Museum. The BCHS is the fifth owner/operator of the cart.

Frank Denton: Did we need those bomb details?

Mr. Cody, Bob J. Perry may have done some good things in his life, but his more than generous financial support of a vicious campaign to ruin the reputation of a presidential candidate is despicable and unforgivable.

A group funded by Bob J. Perry, who was also the biggest Republican campaign donor in Texas, began running attack ads in August, 2004, in which former Swift Boat veterans claim Kerry lied to get one of his two decorations for bravery and two of his three purple hearts.

Further testimony showed that the veterans who accused John Kerry are contradicted by Kerry's former crewmen, and by official Navy records.

One of the accusers says he was on another boat "a few yards" away during the incident which won Kerry the Bronze Star, but the former Army lieutenant whom Kerry personally pulled from the water, during a firefight on the river that day, backs John Kerry's account.

Further, official Navy records, time and again, contradicted the accusers. For example, one of the Swift Boat veterans said in an ad that Kerry wasn't under fire, in an incident for which he, Kerry, received the Bronze Star. This accuser said that knew because he himself was involved in the incident in question. However, the accuser (lieutenant) was himself awarded a Bronze Star for aiding others "in the face of enemy fire" during the same incident.
