Honesty is the best policy -By Harvey Mackay Once upon a time on the outskirts of a big city stood an old temple where young boys would come to live and learn from an old monk. One day the monk gathered his students and told them: “I am growing old and slow. I can no longer provide for the needs of the temple as I once did. I want you to go into the city and follow the rich people. When no one is looking – and only when no one is looking – you must steal their purses. That way we will have enough money to keep our school alive.” The boys said in disbelief: “But master, you have taught us that it is wrong to steal.” The monk replied: “It would be wrong to steal if it were not absolutely necessary. Just remember, you must not be seen!” The boys looked nervously among themselves and quietly began to leave. However, one student remained so the monk asked him, “Why did you not go with the others?” “I heard master,” said the boy quietly. “But you said that we had to steal without being seen. I know that there is no place on Earth that I would not be seen, for I would always see myself.” “Excellent!” exclaimed the monk. “That is just the lesson I hoped my students would learn. Run and tell your friends to return to the temple before they get us into trouble.” Honesty is and will always be the best policy. Telling the truth at all times matters in so many ways, from building your reputation to improving your relationships. Your word has to be your bond. Maybe that is why Thomas Jefferson said, “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.”
Or take a page from our first President, George Washington, who famously said he could not tell a lie when asked about the newly hewn cherry tree. Honest Abe Lincoln was also a paragon of truthfulness. As we celebrate Presidents’ Day, these are role models to uphold. Honesty, ethics, integrity, values, morals are interchangeable because they all convey the single attribute that determines whether a person or an organization can be trusted. If truth ever stands in your way, you are headed in the wrong direction. Every time dishonesty wins, it gets harder to convince our children that honesty is the best policy. Complete honesty in little things is not a little thing at all. Sam Rayburn, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, was once asked: “Mr. Speaker, you see probably a hundred people a day. You tell each one, ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ or ‘Maybe.’ You are never seen taking notes on what you told them, but I have never heard of you forgetting anything you promised. What is your secret?” Rayburn carefully eyed his questioner and replied, “If you tell the truth the first time, you don’t have to remember.” I have always tried to follow Sam Rayburn’s advice because if you always tell the truth, you don’t need a good memory. Think about your own dealings with businesses, organizations and even personal friends. Do you patronize a store that makes promises they don’t keep or that sells products that don’t perform as expected? Would you donate to a charity that invests more in promotion than in helping others? Do you continue friendships with people who lie to
you? Of course not. As the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Honesty is so important that there’s actually a day to celebrate it: April 30, 2022, is Honesty Day. Author M. Hirsh Goldberg, author of “The Book of Lies: Fibs, Tales, Schemes, Scams, Fakes, and Frauds That Have Changed the Course of History and Affect Our Daily Lives,” created the day in the early 1990s. He placed it strategically on the final day of April to contrast with April Fool’s Day (lies!) at the beginning of the month. Here’s a fish story that can actually be believed. After fishing all day and not getting so much as a nibble, the fisherman went back to shore, loaded his boat on the trailer and began the drive home. Before reaching home, he stopped at a grocery store advertising fresh fish. “Throw me a dozen of the biggest fish you have,” he said to the woman at the counter. “Throw them? Why?” she asked. “Because I’m going to catch them. I may be a lousy fisherman, but I’m not a liar.” Mackay’s Moral: Only those on the level can climb the highest peaks.

When we spent more time listening to the radio, we would be subjected to hearing commercials. We would hear them repeated at least daily and as a result they became part of our memory. When we were totally by ourselves, such as working in the garden or out fluffing up a hay row, we would think about the commercial and maybe repeat it or sing it to ourselves. I thought it might be fun to make a memory inventory to see if you remember the commercials that I remember. Call for PHILLIP MORRIS. POST TOASTIES heap good corn flakes.

Crash: February 11, 2022: At approximately 3:00 a.m., received a report of a semi that had rolled onto its side near the address of 31437 County Road 65 in Oak Township. This address is located approximately 1 mile east of the city of Melrose. The caller reported one occupant appeared to be inside. Upon arrival deputies learned that the semi had an adult male that was trapped in the cab. The driver, Frederick Ettel, 73, of Freeport was extracted from the semi and transported to the Melrose Hospital by ambulance. The trailer was carrying approximately 40,000 pounds of milk. The Stearns County Sheriff’s Office, Melrose Fire and Rescue, Melrose Ambulance and Melrose Police Department responded to the scene. The weather conditions are believed to be the cause of the crash. Computer Fraud: The victim reported receiving a warning on their computer indicating that they had been hacked. She was then contacted by someone claiming to be from Microsoft, who said they would assist with the problem. They instructed the victim to purchase gift cards, which they did. They were also instructed to deposit $1,000 in a bitcoin machine at the mall. They also talked the victim into supplying photos of the front and back of their credit card and sending that information. The loss in this case is about $20,000. The victim is working with the bank and credit card company to recoup the loss. Remember folks, the best practice is to only provide personal information when you have initiated the contact and are sure of who you are talking with.

Carl E. Norris
Carl E. Norris, age 80 of Brooten, went home to be with the Lord on Friday, February 11, 2022. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family after a short battle with pneumonia at Alomere Health Hospital in Alexandria, Minnesota. A funeral service will be held 11 a.m. Monday, February 21 at Harvest Church in Freeport with Pastor Allen Wieling officiating. Interment will be at Oak Hill Cemetery in Melrose. Visitation will be held from 10 to 11 a.m. Monday at the church in Freeport. Carl Ervin Norris was born September 17, 1941 in Spencer, Iowa to Frank and Elva (Freeburg) Norris. He graduated from Spring Lake Park in1959. His first job after high school was for Honeywell, he soon realized working indoors was not for him. Carl was a dreamer, and one of his gifts was to work with his hands, so he left Honeywell for construction work. On January 18, 1962 he married Judith Kneiszler in Minneapolis. Since his real dream was to be a farmer, once they moved to Hinkley, he began farming and worked construction on the side. Since his goal was to farm full-time, Carl and Judy bought a farm in Atwater and they farmed with dairy cattle for 11 years. The family had countless family memories growing up on the farm, where the father figure was always present. Carl exemplified a great love for God, family, music, and a strong work ethic which are all evident in his children and their families. They then sold the farm and moved to Long Prairie and milked a smaller herd of dairy cattle for four more years. Due to physical limitations, Carl had to stop farming, and he drove semi over the road for 16 years. Carl and Judy lived in many different towns, from Staples, to Sauk Centre, Luverne to Eagle Bend and finally Brooten. Carl’s passion for music was certainly evident as he played bass, accordion, piano, and both electric and acoustic guitar. His wonderful voice could be heard in the church choir, or singing with Judy for church specials, but he experienced true joy as he played guitar on the church worship team with his two boys for a number of years. Carl was happiest when he was with his family. He was a member of Harvest Church in Freeport. He had been a church Deacon and played in the praise band in the various churches he attended. He enjoyed restoring pickups and cars, woodworking, watching tractor pulls, motorsports, and deer hunting. Survivors include his wife, Judy Norris of Brooten; children, Deborah (Steve) Struthers of Cokato, Steve (Danelle) Norris of Melrose, Victoria (Daniel) Mensen of Osakis, and Aaron (Julie) Norris of Albany; 16 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren; sisters, Shirley (David) Capistrant of Grove City and Beverly (Denny) Smith of Litchfield; and many other extended family members. Carl was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Roland L. “Bud” Norris; sister, Linda R. Davis; and brother-in-law, Bob Davis. Casket bearers will be his grandsons, Justin, Jordan, and Jake Struthers, and Jared, Michael, and Andrew Norris. Arrangements were made with Patton-Schad Funeral & Cremation Services of Melrose.

Ask The Motor Medics®
Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey Dear Dave, I’ve been seeing lots of ads lately for debt consolidation companies, debt settlement companies and the HELOC. Are any of these methods for reducing debt a good idea? -Brent Dear Brent, No. These are all bad ideas when it comes to getting out of debt. There’s a lot of buzz these days surrounding all the “quick” and “easy” ways to clean up debt and get control of your finances. But the truth is neither one is ever easy. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Debt consolidation is basically a loan that combines all your debts into one single payment. Sounds like a great idea at first, right? But then you find out the lifespan of your loans increase, and that means you’ll stay in debt even longer than before. The low interest rate that looks so appealing in the beginning usually goes up over time, too. Stretching out the amount of time you’re paying off debt, plus adding interest, is just dumb. Debt settlement companies are awful.
Rick’s Painting Commercial/Residential
These crummy outfits will charge you a fee, then promise to negotiate with your creditors to reduce what you owe. In most cases, they take your money up front, do a bad job “negotiating” your debt and leave you responsible for what’s left. A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is also a bad idea. With a HELOC, you’re borrowing against your home. On top of that, you risk losing your house if you can’t pay it back on time. All these plans are really just gimmicks that only treat the symptoms of your money problems. They never help you address the root issue of why you landed there in the first place. Personal finance is always 80% behavior, and 20% head knowledge. You have to change your behavior if you want to make a lasting, positive impact on your finances! -Dave * Dave Ramsey is a seven-time #1 national best-selling author, personal finance expert, and host of The Ramsey Show, heard by more than 18 million listeners each week. He has appeared on Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, Today Show, Fox News, CNN, Fox Business, and many more. Since 1992, Dave has helped people regain control of their money, build wealth and enhance their lives. He also serves as CEO for Ramsey Solutions.
THE JUNCTION
Dear Motor Medics, I have what I think to be a very simple question but when I ask others I get as many different answers as the people I ask. I want to know if it is necessary to connect the last jumper cable connection which is always my negative cable to the engine block instead of right to the battery which seems more convenient to me. I have received many different answers and I just want to know what the proper way is. Can you help me Motor Medics? -Barb in Henderson, Texas Dear Barb, Great question for the safety of anyone who ever must jump start a car. Many people connect the cables directly to the terminals on both batteries claiming it makes it easier to start and this is extremely dangerous! If your battery cables on the vehicle and jumper cables are both in good shape connecting them properly will work just fine. When you make the last connection of the jumper cables it is normal for the connection to give off a small spark. This spark can easily ignite the hydrogen gas given off by a battery under normal operation and cause an explosion. This explosion can be powerful enough to send the sulfuric acid and pieces of battery shrapnel flying towards you injuring you. To prevent this, you need to make the last connection away from the battery which would be the engine block. Always consult your owner’s manual. -Take care, the Motor Medics Dear Motor Medics, I have a question about spare tires. I see many new cars not coming with a spare of any kind. When we purchased our latest car, it came this way and in the place of it was a can of tire sealant and an inflator can. The instructions say to use the sealant then if the tire is still low to use the inflator can and use as necessary to reach the nearest place to have it repaired. Why can’t they just make a place for the spare? We have

had spares in our vehicles as long as I have been driving and they work just fine, although I have never had to use one since our tires are kept in good shape. -David in Mason City, Iowa Dear David, Spares are going the way of the dinosaur in many vehicles to save weight and room. Cars have been on this trend for a while now. I think the first one I saw was in a Hybrid and if they had wanted one, I don’t know where they would have put it. Removing the spare saves weight and every pound you save means a bit more fuel mileage. This combined with other weight savings can make a big impact overall. The tire sealant and inflator can work for smaller leaks but for anything major like a large bolt or other object you will need a tire change to get you going. -Take care, the Motor Medics For entertainment only.

PRAIRIE WOODS LAUNDRY
Do you remember the “telephone” game you played as a kid? One person would whisper to the first child. Then that child would whisper the same thing to their neighbor. I am not sure of what the point was when I was a kid because it never came out from what the original person said. I am not sure if they were trying to teach us to pay attention or to listen well, or maybe not mumble when we talk. In our world today there are many ways to communicate, and they are way more effective than whispering to your neighbor. I cannot even keep track of the times that either I was misunderstood, or I misunderstood someone’s text to me, or an email, or even Facebook messaging. I remember one church that I attended, that I was an elder at. The pastor wanted to do something special for the graduates, so we put it in the bulletin four weeks ahead, and the newsletter and announced it from the pulpit. The pastor wanted the graduates to come with their graduation gown, but one family did not get the message. They showed up to church that morning and found out that they missed it somehow. (Now it would help if they came to church regularly). They were mad because they were not told, but went home anyway to get their daughter's graduation gown. I just want to say here that God wants to talk to us, and He wants us to talk to Him. The scary part is He knows your heart and intentions. God wants a relationship with us but is willing to wait until we come to Him. God communicates to us through His Word, so we better be in it, every day. We talk with Him through prayer, but sometimes we do not know what

to say. Here is how much Jesus loves us, Romans 8:34 “Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” Communication is a two-way street, we need to talk to Him, and we need to allow Him to talk to us, in fact we should expect that He will. -Pastor Bruce Miller from Swanville Bible Church, 320-547-2916
