It degrades freshwater lakes, streams, and drinking water. Just one teaspoon of salt permanently pollutes five gallons of water. Help keep freshwater fresh this winter by following the four "S" strategy: Shovel, Scatter, Switch, Sweep. One final "S" is key to this equa- tion: Storage. Any de-icing product left uncovered can pollute local waters. When snow melts or rain falls, it will carry any salt left in its path. Make sure you keep de-icing product covered (with a sealed lid when possible) and indoors to protect our community's waters and wildlife. The Vadnais Heights Lions Club Foun- dation runs a monthly food shelf. Distri- butions are the third Saturday of every month at the Vadnais Heights Commons, 655 East County Road F. Distribution of food is allowed to families considered lower income; qualifying individuals can register day-of.
