Getting unstuck means sticking to a plan -By Harvey Mackay Three men were in a pickup truck driving in the woods when they became stuck in the mud. The driver became angry and began to shout and curse. He pounded on the steering wheel and then sat fuming about
The key is how to get unstuck. I’m referring to the times you feel uninspired, overwhelmed, lack focus, feel anxiety or consider giving up. Do you wait for someone else to shake you out of your funk? Do you ignore the situation and hope it goes away? Or do you reach inside to discover what works for you and use it? Here are some ideas I’ve heard: Ever heard of power posing? American psychologist Amy Cuddy did a study when she was at Harvard that found if you stand for 120 seconds their bad luck. like Superman or Wonder Woman, your The second man climbed out of the body chemistry changes.

Clinical psychologists suggest that We all get “stuck in the mud” at before you can get unstuck, you have to times as we travel down life’s road. figure out what the problem is and then Will you melt down, walk away and deal with it. Studies show that paying do nothing? Or will you embark on a more attention to your experiences course of action for getting unstuck? can help you to gain greater control
and insight into your emotions. It can increase your tolerances and help increase awareness. Paying attention to your experiences is a skill, just like riding a bicycle. The better you get at this, the less likely you will get stuck. From time to time, even the most creative minds get stuck. Like a baseball player who can’t get a hit or a salesperson who can’t close a sale, someone in the midst of a slump can’t imagine the possibility of overcoming it. But ballplayers and salespeople who don’t give up usually manage to work their way out, and so can you. Try some of these strategies: • Take some time off. In other words, seek a change of scenery. Instead of increasing your frustration, back away for a while. Go to the movies, visit a museum or attend a sporting event. Taking your mind off the problem can give it a chance to recharge. • Talk to people. Don’t isolate yourself. Go out and talk with friends, family members, co-workers, whoever. You don’t have to ask for suggestions or advice. Just open yourself to other conversations and ideas, and allow your mind to shift out of the rut. • Change your routine.

“The Good Old Days” -By Tom Kuehne Montana My dad’s parents were married and lived in Swanville. Their home was in the location of the current Catholic Parish House. My dad was born there. My grandfather, Pa, had a blacksmith shop in Swanville. Montana was being advertised as the place of dreams. Homesteading was available and it cost almost nothing for the train ticket to get out there. So they took off for Montana. This was during the Roaring 20’s and things were going along very well in the US. The train ticket was only $65.00 for the family of 5 to get there. The first couple of years were good. Pa did blacksmith work and some part-time farming. Then it got dry. No rain. The crops and grass dried up to “nothing but dead stubble.” Rattlesnakes, grasshoppers and jack rabbits were taking over the landscape. Many homesteaders in the local area were packing up their belongings and moving to other locations. Food for both animals and humans was hard to find. Both Pa and Ma were quite uncomfortable with the thought of any future in Montana. Pa was gathering a lot of machinery, since money was scarce and he accepted some machinery as payment for blacksmith work he had done. Ma just really wanted to go back to Minnesota. Ma absolutely hated the rattlesnakes, but would tolerate the jackrabbits, since they represented food. One day my dad, somewhere around 10 years old, came home from school with the tails of 9 rattlesnakes he had killed on the road to and from school. Ma became rather insistent that they move soon. The next day, Ma put my uncle in the baby carriage and parked it in the shade by the house. When she went out to
check him a rattlesnake was curled up under the carriage. So she went and got the hoe and “chopped dat darn ting in pieces!” When Pa got home that day she informed him that she and the kids were going to Minnesota and he better come along too. A train ticket was purchased, but this time it was $640.00 for the trip back to Minnesota. Pa rented a box car to carry machinery and personal possessions. They didn’t have the $640.00, so it had to be wired from Ma’s dad in Minnesota. When they got to a sidetrack in Swanville, they couldn’t get their belongings, because the rented box-car was overweight. Another $240.00 was needed to release their possessions. After the release of the machinery, some was sold to pay back Ma’s dad. Some of the relatives stayed in Montana and ultimately did quite well. The method was to buy up the homesteads and create sizable cattle ranches. One actually found oil on his property and that made things even better. The family continued contact with the Montana relatives, but never spoke of moving back there again. For feedback or story ideas, email Tom at tom@swanvilleinsurance.com.

your day by taking on tasks in a different order or switching things around in your workplace. Delegate jobs you always do yourself and take on projects that you usually hand off, for example. Or start your day with long-term planning and end it by checking your email if you typically do the opposite. • Engage all your senses. Approach the problem from a different angle. What would a solution feel like in your hands, sound like as a song, taste like if it were a beverage? Don’t limit yourself to what you can see. Extend your mind in different directions, and you may find a dimension who hadn’t considered before. Upsala, MN

Obituaries Michael Reinbold
M i c h a e l George Reinbold, 66 of Long Prairie, passed away at home surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with renal cancer on August 20, 2018. Funeral services were held Monday, August 27 at Trinity Lutheran Church in Long Prairie with Pastor Noah Wehrspann officiating. Interment was at Bearhead Cemetery, Burtrum. Mike was born May 1st, 1952 in Little Falls, to Art and Irene (Heincke) Reinbold. He graduated from Long Prairie High School in 1970. Mike went to work for Victor Clothing Company for a short time then went to Long Prairie Packing Plant; where he picked up deboning skills that were a necessary tool for deer hunting. He graduated from Wadena Technical School and started his career at Todd-Wadena Electric. He married Pamela Eidenschink on August 25, 1979. He began working at Minnesota Power and kept the lights on in your home for over 40 years. After retirement he kept busy doing farm work for family. Mike was part of the Long Prairie Fire Department for 20 years, Cedar Lake
Gun Club and a member of Trinity Lutheran Church and was the Bruce Township Supervisor. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, collecting agates, stopping at garage sales to look for buried treasures and spending time with family and friends; especially his grandkids. Mike was able to get away from the water tower long enough to take a trip to Alaska with his wife Pam, “Denver,” North Dakota for pheasant hunting and going to the shack for fishing along with many other trips. He will be remembered for his quick wit, dance moves and some sayings like “do the math, half of nothing is still nothing, and really.” Mike was devoted and caring to others, giving his time and energy to help those in need and never asking for anything in return. He will always be loved and missed by all family and friends. Mike is survived by his wife Pam, of Long Prairie; children: Nathan (John) Reinbold-Bork of Burtrum, Courtney (David) Brown of Oak Grove, Lindsey Reinbold of Little Falls; grandchildren: Addison Engstrom, Carter Brown, Josilyn Brown and Emmalyn Reinbold; siblings: Carmen Lyon of Grey Eagle, Judy Hommerding of Bemidji along with many nieces and nephews. Mike is preceded in death by his parents, Art & Irene, In laws: Ken Eidenschink, Gayle & Tom Wolf, brothers: Roger Reinbold, Douglas Reinbold, brother-in-law Ira Lyon, niece Tina Roberts and dog Lilo.

Rose M. Bollin
Rose M. Bollin, 70 year old resident of Upsala, MN formerly of Little Falls, MN passed away Monday, August 27, 2018 at her home in Upsala, MN.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey Dear Dave, How do you feel about taking money out of savings to pay off credit cards? -Peggy Dear Peggy, I’m okay with this under two conditions. One is that you cut up the credit cards, close the accounts, and never use those things again. The second is that you don’t wipe out your savings in the process. Leave something in there, so you’re covered in the event of an emergency. Then, rebuild your savings as fast as possible once the debt is out of your way. You have to understand, too, that credit cards aren’t the problem. The credit card debt isn’t the problem, either. They are just symptoms of buying things you don’t need, with money you don’t have, in order to impress people. Take a long look in the mirror, Peggy, because the person who’s looking back at you is the problem. Overspending, disorganization, not earning enough … whatever label you want to slap on this situation, you are the reason for the problem. Once you understand and accept that, and you start living on a budget and staying away from debt, you’ll have taken your first real steps toward financial peace! -Dave Dear Dave, I’m 35, single, and I have no

dependents. Do I need a life insurance policy? -Larry Dear Larry, In your situation, if you have enough cash saved up to pay your final expenses — and you don’t have any debt — there’s no reason for you to carry a life insurance policy. No one will be harmed financially by your death, and no one would be deprived of the income that would be lost if something unexpected happened to you. Even if you have a mortgage on a home, the house will normally sell for enough to pay off the mortgage. However, if you have debt, or if you don’t have some money stashed away in savings, you might want to consider an inexpensive term life insurance policy. At your age, if you’re healthy, you can get $100,000 worth of coverage for just $10 to $15 a month. Remember, you don’t buy insurance to leave an inheritance. You buy life insurance to make sure there’s enough money to take care of your family and final expenses. You wouldn’t want your parents or someone else having to foot the bill! -Dave * Dave Ramsey is CEO of Ramsey Solutions. He has authored seven bestselling books, including The Total Money Makeover.

A beaker went out in a transformer causing no electricity Sunday morning in St. Francis. Flashlights were used to help mix dressing for the dinner to be served after mass for the annual Fall Festival. This photo was taken at 4:30 a.m. The power was out for almost 3 hours, so they had to find about 20 different ovens in the parish from different families to get the dressing started. Luckily the power came back on right before 7 a.m. so the second batch of dressing was able to be made at the church. Over 1,800 meals were served at the St. Francis of Assisi Fall Festival.

Bitz and Piecez -By Pastor Bitz Mark 6:45-56: Serving the Lord: Joshua 24:1-18 Joshua chapter 24 is one event in a series of events that begins in Genesis, continues through the Exodus, is strengthened in Numbers, is repeated in Deuteronomy and is now confessed boldly by Joshua. “As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.” At every turn in our life we are faced with choices. It is part of this freedom we have in life. Adam and Eve had the freedom to serve the Lord and avoid the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil or to serve themselves and eat it. They chose to serve themselves. Humans throughout world history have had a tendency to serve other gods. Humans shape God in the image they want their god to be and then worship these other gods which in a way is just serving themselves. Serving the Lord means to forsake other gods, to forsake those things we hold near and dear to our hearts when their only purpose is to serve ourselves. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Joshua teach us that God is the only one who can define who God is and therefore whom we should serve. Life in this world is challenging because at every turn there is some power or force calling us to serve it and too often we listen. We listen to our own sinful nature far, far too often and this my friends is sin.

Jackie Atkinson Realtor
The other day I heard a christian teacher on the radio claim that he could not imagine God a certain way and therefore this new teaching he was advocating was right – even though it contradicts other parts of the Bible. The danger in this argument is that when we only image God a certain way and not God as he reveals himself in Scripture we begin to create our own god to worship instead of serving the Lord who saves us. When we define God by our terms we quit serving the God of Scripture. Yes the Lord Joshua was so eager to serve did a lot of loving and wonderful things for his people and he saw his mighty works

Sudoku
Word Search Answers from Aug. 23
Sudoku is one of the most popular puzzle games of all time. The goal of Sudoku is to fill a 9×9 grid with numbers so that each row, column and 3×3 section contain all of the digits between 1 and 9. As a logic puzzle, Sudoku is also an excellent brain game.
Thought for the week:
Labor Day is seen as a day of rest for many hardworking Americans. -James P. Hoffa
There once was a dog named “Nipper,” a terrier who was very devoted to his master, Mark Barraud. The two were best friends and were rarely seen apart from each other. When Mark died, his brother Francis ‘adopted’ him and after a lengthy period of mourning, “Nipper” became very attached to Francis, an artist. Eventually they too developed a very close relationship. Mark and Francis lived in the latter 1800s and at that time phonographs

with wax cylinders were used for recording voices and music. Some of Francis’ cylinders contained recordings of his voice and each time he played one of his recordings “Nipper” would place his head near the phonograph and look intently into it as though he was looking for his new master to appear. “Nipper’s” pose inspired the artist and he painted a picture of it that became one of the most famous and recognizable brands in all the world, called “His Master’s Voice.” In Psalm 99:7 we read that “He spoke to them from the pillar of cloud.” What an unusual means of communication. Imagine walking through a field and suddenly hearing a cloud call you by name and give you a special message. Seems improbable but that’s what God did to Moses and Aaron. And He can do that today. Our God is constantly speaking to us in different ways at different times and from different places. He will do everything He can to get our attention and share His message with us. If we want to hear our Master’s voice, we must be open, attentive and waiting to hear Him speak.

Automotive Advice from The Under the Hood® Show
Dear Motor Medics, I’ve been having a problem with my 2004 F150 Ford which goes like this. I drive for ten minutes at a steady cruise and when I come to a stop the engine sounds like it is coming apart. It rattles and it doesn’t want to accelerate. If I turn it off then start it back up it will work fine most of the time but only until I stop again. It seems to be getting worse and I have been advised that I need a new engine by my shop. There are only 90k miles on this truck and its always been taken care of. Could I really need a new engine? -David in Hershey, PA Dear David, The symptoms you are having are in line with ones we’ve heard in our own shop. The noise you are hearing may be due to the camshaft variable timing phasers not working as designed. If this is the problem it’s more than just a failing phaser. The phaser does wear but it also can’t do its job correctly due to the engine wearing and the oil system not being at its optimum performance level. Once diagnosed some shops will try to replace the phasers and lifters and any other worn parts they see while doing the job but we find that about 50% don’t fix the problem. that being the case, if this is your problem a new engine may be a better option. -Take care, The Motor Medics Dear Motor Medics, My car needs a replacement transmission and my choices at my shop are to rebuild mine or to purchase a rebuilt unit. Either option will cost about

$1800.00 and come with a very good warranty but my concern is the value of the car. It’s a 2007 Chevy Impala with 140k miles and I don’t want to spend more than it’s worth. It is in great shape other than the transmission. Craig in Yankton, SD Dear Craig, Being a manager of a shop, which has installed thousands of transmissions over the years we get this question a lot. Should I spend money to fix my vehicle or trade it in, junk it, etc. The answer is always the same. Look at the car, assess the value as if it were running correctly; what would it be worth and also what you would get for it if not fixed. Once you have done that take into consideration the repair cost and decide if it’s more profitable to fix than to part with it. For example, your car might not be tradeable with a failed transmission so as-is you’d lose money. If you spend $1800 and can sell it higher for book value and make some money it may be smart to repair. On the other hand, if its only worth $1800 fixed and you spend $1800 you had better keep it and drive it as your sale profit would be very low. -Take care, the Motor Medics For entertainment only.

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson Local Municipality Minutes
Tap into tax benefits for back-toschool purchases
With days getting shorter again, and high school football on the schedule for this week, fall is just around the corner. The start of the new school year upon us and back-toschool shopping is in high gear for those families getting their kids ready for the new term. Because these expenses can add up to significant dollars, Minnesota offers its residents the opportunity to soften the financial impact somewhat. Parents are encouraged to save their receipts and utilize the tax benefit to help defray the cost. Our state offers both a credit and a subtraction for education expenses, and both can reduce the amount of taxes that parents pay. Those expenses must be for children attending kindergarten through 12th grade at a public, private, or home school. Some examples of items that qualify for the tax savings are writing utensils, text books, musical instrument rentals, tutoring, and computer hardware/education software. Not all things related to school expense qualify; examples of such items that do not include school lunches, uniforms, and back packs. The tax subtraction is not subject to income limits; however the credit is. Last year, over 37,000 families utilized the education credit for an average saving of $241. In addition, 186,000 families took advantage of the education subtraction. Parents should check the Dept. of Revenue website at www.revenue. state.mn.us for additional information. It was recently announced that Minnesota’s minimum wage will increase on Jan. 1. For those working at companies with $500,000 or more in sales the increase goes up 21 cents per hour to $9.86.

threshold will see a smaller increase, 17 cents, to $8.04. There is also what’s known as a youth wage rate for those under the age of 18, and also a training wage for those under the age of 20. Rates for both of those categories will also be $8.04 per hour. It’s estimated that approximately 8 percent of Minnesota’s work force will be affected by these increases. One complication of raising the minimum wage is what it does to those making slightly more than this level. The increase at the lower end of the wage scale results in a compression of wages for those whose wages are higher. This can result in the balance between worker experience and job complexity being impacted. Rainfall throughout the district has been spotty this summer. Some areas seem to get precipitation on a regular basis, while others remain dry. Crops have matured faster this year, in part, because of greater heat units and also because of dryness. Chopping of corn for silage has begun and will ramp up in coming days. Small grain harvest has pretty well wrapped up, with results being an average or a bit below average yield. Soybean harvest is still several weeks away, with many fields showing signs of stress from a dry and hot period in August. Although Minnesota’s yields may be down slightly from last year, record crops are being predicted nationally for soybeans with corn not far behind. Prices for nearly all ag commodities are depressed, in part because of trade uncertainty and also because of large carryover supplies and big crops forecast to come in this fall. Rep.

Watch out for school buses By Stearns County Sheriff’s Office It’s that time of year again. Most parents can’t wait and most kids want to have just a bit more time but nonetheless school will soon start again. You may already see buses out there conducting practice runs to get familiar with the stops and the route timing. In anticipation of that, we thought all you drivers might enjoy some information on the rules surrounding buses. This information is from the Department of Public Safety’s website. School Bus Safety Tips for Motorists • Motorists must stop at least 20 feet from a school bus that is displaying red flashing lights and/or its stop arm is extended when approaching from the rear and from the opposite direction on undivided roads. • Red flashing lights on buses indicate students are either entering or exiting the bus. • Motorists are not required to stop for a bus if the bus is on the opposite side of a separated roadway (median, etc.) but they should remain alert for children.
• Altering a route or schedule to avoid a bus is one way motorists can help improve safety. In doing so, motorists won’t find themselves behind a bus and as a result, potentially putting children at risk. • Watch for school crossing patrols and pedestrians. Reduce speeds in and around school zones. One of the bigger issues surrounds four lane roads that have no center divider, median or barrier. In those cases, you must stop if the bus has its red flashing lights on and/or its stop arm extended. Even if you are both in the far right lanes. If the road is undivided, you must stop. So drivers get ready.

Melrose Scouts Visit The Summit
the cost of transportation. When the Central Minnesota Council received this information they began the process of trying to create a contingent of 40 or more Scouts. If they could find the forty Scouts the cost would be $325 per participant, which included the cost of a charter bus. Four Boy Scouts of Melrose Troop 68 quickly registered for this event. Two of the troop’s adult leaders applied to be adult leaders. One was chosen to be one of the four chaperones for the trip. The contingent of 42 Scouts and four adult leaders left the council office in Sartell Sunday evening on July 22nd and arrived at The Summit Monday afternoon. During the next few days the crew members received a sampling of many of the high adventure activities which included BMX biking, mountain biking, skateboarding, a high ropes course, rock climbing, shooting sports, and more. They even visited areas of the base that most campers never get a chance to visit. Two highlights of the trip were the 3200 foot long zip line Tuesday morning, and the white water rafting adventure Thursday morning. The four Boy Scouts of Troop 68 who attended the event were Jacob Feldewerd, Carter Feldewerd, Luke Braun, and Allen Pfremmer. Two Venture Scouts from Melrose, Angelica and SaCarter, Jacob, and Luke (the Scouts on the right) wait for vannah Pfremmer, where also memtheir ride down the 3/4 mile long zip line.
By Steve Borgerding The Boy Scouts of America needed a new place to hold the 2013 National Jamboree. Fort A.P. Hill, located in Virginia and the site of several previous Jamborees, would no longer be available for this major event. After a lot of searching and fundraising, the B.S.A. purchased property in the mountains of West Virginia and quickly began developing the site for its needs. The Summit Bechtel Reserve opened on time for the 2013 Jamboree and became a hit with the Scouts and adult leaders. A special program was held during three weeks of the summer of 2018 at this new high adventure base. The Summit Adventure Leadership Training course, also known as SALT, introduced Scouts to the various programs offered at The Summit. Appreciation to a generous donor, the cost of the 5 day course was reduced to $45 per participant, plus

The Scouts from Melrose who attended the SALT program at the Summit Betchel Reserve were Savannah Pfremmer, Angelica Pfremmer, Allan Pfremmer, Luke Braun, Jacob Feldewerd, Carter Feldewerd, and Steve Borgerding. bers of the crew. Steve Borgerding, a committee member of Troop 68, was one of the adults chosen to accompany the Scouts. Was the trip a success? Did the Scouts have fun? Well, let’s put it this way. When the Scouts were asked if they would like to go back for a full high adventure program they all agreed they would love to have the chance to go back to The Summit. I guess the answer to the question would be “Yes!”

September at your library You’ve picked up a ream of paper, paid the lunch money deposit, read the updated bus schedule and gotten the backpack ready. Don’t forget to make sure you’ve got the one back-to-school item that’s free and provides access to nearly a million books, movies, music, e-books and online resources – your Great River Regional Library card. Haven’t been to the library in a while? We’d love to see you back! Are you a regular library visitor? We’re looking forward to serving you again. September is Library Card Sign-up Month and Great River Regional Library has several new reasons to visit. This September, GRRL will be offering something especially unique – new patron-designed library cards. You will be able to choose from one of the four winning illustrations, designed by patrons from around the region. If you want to replace your old library card with a new design, it can be updated for $1. If you’ve never had a card, it’s easy to get one. Just stop by with your photo ID. It only takes a few minutes to get a card, and they are free. If you stopped using the library because of fines, September 15-22 is the ultimate time to come back. Visit your local library during this week and we will waive your fines. You may also return your overdue items for free. Fines shouldn’t prevent anyone from experiencing the benefits of their public library. We want to reach people who have stopped using the library because of fines. Libraries play an important role in the education and development of children. According to the American Library Association, studies show that children who are read to in the home and who use the library perform better in school and are more likely to continue to use the library as a source of lifetime learning. Building good habits starts at an early age. There is no time like the present to take advantage of your local library. We have services tailored to both students and educators. Our website, griver.
