Steve Pauli, left, of Mancos helps veteran Joshua Johns select a walking stick at the fourth annual Four Corners Veterans Stand Down held Thursday in the Exhibit Hall at the La Plata County Fairgrounds. Pauli, himself a veteran, needed something to do on sleepless nights, so he made 149 aspen and oak sticks to give away. About 50 representatives from different agencies and businesses took part in the event, which also offered showers, haircuts and free clothing to veterans.
