Local law enforcement officers, volunteers and — of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus — helped out Saturday during Salem Walmart’s “Stuff a Cruiser.” Patrons including children like siblings Jack and Ellie Bennett, shown here, donated toys and gifts that will go to needy local children during the Christmas season. Also shown are, from left, Emma Monroy, Brenda Hamilton, Lt. Donn Beeson, Det. Brad Davis, Sgt. Dan Green, Sgt. Michael Garber, Santa (Pete Whitman), Ptl. Samantha Collins and Mrs. Claus (Debby Whitman). (Photo by Gary Leininger).
