Adaptability is the secret to survival

-By Harvey Mackay

There is an Aesop fable about a proud oak tree that took root along the bank of a stream. For 100 years it had withstood the high winds, until one day when there came a violent storm. The great oak fell with a mighty crash into the swollen river and was carried down toward the sea.

The oak tree came to rest on the shore where some reeds were growing. The tree was amazed to see the reeds standing upright.

The oak asked, “How ever did you manage to weather that terrible storm? I have stood up against many a storm, but this one was too strong for me.”

“That’s just it,” replied the reed. “All these years you have stubbornly pitted your great strength against the wind. You were too proud to yield a little. I, on the other hand, knowing my weakness, just bend and let the wind blow over me without trying to resist it. The harder the wind blows, the more I humble myself, so here I am!”

Adaptability is absolutely vital in business. The marketplace is like a river, constantly flowing and changing its course. To navigate these waters successfully, you must be able to adjust your sails and steer with agility. And stand up to a little wind.

Jim Rohn, the late American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker, said, “Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better

FRIDAY, MARCH 15

by change.”

The pace of change in technology, consumer preferences and global economics means that what worked yesterday might not work today. Being adaptable allows you to respond quickly to changes, keeping your business relevant and competitive.

Companies are moving away from rigid hierarchical structures to more fluid and dynamic models. Adaptability in this context means being comfortable with change, whether it is a shift in your role, team or the overall strategy of the company.

The ability to work well with others, often in a team environment, is more important than ever. Adaptability enhances collaboration because it allows you to understand and embrace different perspectives and work styles.

Today’s business problems are multifaceted, requiring a broad range of skills and the ability to connect disparate pieces of information. An adaptable mindset is open to learning and can integrate new knowledge to solve these complex challenges.

Adaptability is not just a nice-to-have trait; it is a must-have. It is about being prepared to pivot when necessary, to learn from new situations, and to continually evolve your approach to business. It is about thriving in uncertainty and turning challenges into opportunities.

Charles Darwin, the famous English naturalist who first formulated the concept of evolution, said: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one what is most adaptable to change.”

The only thing constant in life is change. It is up to you to be adaptable and willing to change. When something goes wrong in your life, just say “Plot Twist," and move on.

One of the best books that I have ever read on adaptability is the shortest and simplest. “Who Moved My Cheese?” by Spencer Johnson is a charming parable with profound insights. Fundamentally, no matter who you are, you don’t like change. Some of us cope with it fairly well, but the truth is that we all wish we didn’t have to undergo change.

The four characters in the book are Sniff and Scurry, two mice in a maze. Then there are Hem and Haw, the two human characters in the story who are only the size of the mice and are called little people. Every day they go to Cheese Station C, and everything they need is right there in whatever quantity they want.

Then one day they go to Cheese Station C and the endless supply of cheese is gone. Sniff and Scurry react quickly and instinctively. They know they have to find a new supply of cheese. Not so for Hem and Haw. They continue their old routine. They are afraid to venture forth in the maze and find a new source of cheese.

Haw finally realizes he must overcome his fears and writes on the wall, “IF YOU DO NOT CHANGE, YOU CAN BECOME EXTINCT.” Haw sets off in the maze and after much trial and error, finds new cheese that is even better. Mackay’s Moral: In the business world, the rearview is always clearer than the windshield, but adaptability is the key to driving forward.

Weekend Weather

“The Good Old Days” -By Tom

Daylight Saving Time

It's daylight saving time again. We have had the opportunity to hear a fair amount of complaining, such as: I feel like I have lost so much sleep, I can't get up in time for work and I can't go to bed earlier because it seems too early to get to sleep.

Every year since 1970, we have made adjustments to our schedules and in a week we will have rescheduled our lives to fit the time. Actually, it's rather pleasant to have the summer evenings gradually last to 10:00 p.m., however the things we do outside until 10:00 p.m., probably could be finished up an hour earlier. But if you are a farmer it seems that now every working day is an hour longer. Oh well, maybe standard time will soon be a thing of the past.

In past years, time usually wasn't in control of many of our lives. When the sun came up it was time to get up. You came in from working the field when you were hungry, the horses needed a break or the tractor needed gas. In the late afternoon, the cows would be gathering by the barn door, expecting to be milked, a coating of fly spray and a grain treat. They usually did some bellering just to let you know that it was time for them to have your attention.

Watches were usually not warn on the farm, since they were not needed and they would get very dirty and catch on things while the farmer was working. Not only that, but they probably cost more than $10.00, which would have been a loss of money and we were taught not to waste. If the sun was shining, one could usually tell the time to within about a half hour. That was usually close enough for farm work.

Today the clock seems to control our lives. Almost every move we make requires that a specific time schedule be followed. We look at the clock to determine what time we need to begin a task, how long it will take and if it will allow enough time to do the next task. The next task is usually planned without interruptions from breakdowns or other scheduling problems. Good luck.

Along with our own time schedules, we have to consider the time schedules that have been created by others. Examples of people making our schedules and deadlines are the doctor, church, employer, school and friends. There are many others which are different for many of us. If some appointments are not met, the required services may be canceled. Being late for other appointments can just be disruptive or disrespectful.

Looking back to previous years the required scheduled times were less frustrating, since the scheduled appointments for doctor and dentist only occurred about once a year, however church scheduled times occurred every week. We accepted Sunday's schedule as something that happened every week.

As one's years increase, the timed schedules become more of a frustrating thing. Sometimes we wish we were younger, when life was simpler and less controlling. One must realize that the scheduled life that we allowed to be created is easier if we keep a written schedule of appointments. This schedule needs to be at an easily accessible location that is easily checked daily.

From the Desk of Pastor Bruce

If I were to say the word “Fraud” some of you may get frustrated, maybe even angry. Many of you have experienced fraud, many of you more than once. I have, and I have lost money because of it, but in some cases I was able to reclaim that which was stolen from me.

God’s Word is very clear that our source of Truth is God’s Word. I wish I could fix our world and all those who think they need what you have, but I am not the Judge or Jury, I am someone who shares the Truth.

John 17:17 says “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” The word sanctify means “to set apart for a holy work” or “to make holy or purify” (American Heritage Dictionary). So, the only way to be purified is through His Word! We all need to be purified! When Jesus was on trial Pilate asked Jesus what Truth was. John 18:37 “You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.” John 14:6 says it very clearly “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”

John 16:33 says “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” So, if I can be clear here… There are those who will be fraudulent! I trust you are truthful in all you say and do! But here it is, God’s Word is always truthful, there is no deceit in it. We can believe that Jesus came to “testify to the Truth."

Perry Virden Olson

Perry Virden

Olson of Long Prairie, passed away on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, at his home surrounded by his family at the age of 72 after a long and tough battle with COPD. A Celebration of Life was held Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Iten Funeral Home in Browerville, MN.

Perry Virden

Olson was born on November 28, 1951, to Virden and Mary Mae (Minette) Olson in Sauk Centre, MN. During high school, he was a determined wrestler which led him to State Champion. He owned a purple Dodge Demon and was not afraid to boast about it while talking about his youth. Perry graduated from Sauk Centre High School and then began working in construction. He married Jenni Severson and they were blessed with three daughters, Heidi, Rondi, and Kimberly. Later in life, he married Dawn Joarnt and he was blessed with a fourth daughter, Maranda. His daughters have fond memories of their dad singing and dancing. When they were young girls, he would scoop them up and twirl them around, and as adults, he would still lovingly pull them on the dance floor. He was a great example of how to work hard and to stay active in life.

Perry enjoyed playing pool, fishing, bird watching, bowling, watching baseball, riding motorcycles and playing cards with his family. He found any and every reason to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. Perry could be seen driving his side by side around town or to spend time with friends at Thunderlodge and The Legion. He was full of shenanigans and energy. Even after being placed on hospice, he still mowed lawns and did everything he could to stay active. Perry could be described as the “Energizer Bunny." He was honest, smart, competitive, funny, a hard-worker, a fast-learner, and he had a big heart. He was also on the frugal side unless it came to his grandkids, either paying them for chores or bribing them in baseball to get big hits and homeruns. Even after his daughters had children of their own, he still made them feel thought of and loved by giving them roses and sending cards and texts for every occasion. He will be dearly missed.

An Age Funny

When a new child visited our Sunday school, the teacher greeted him and asked his age. The little boy held up four fingers.

"Oh, you're four," said the teacher. "And when will you be 5?"

The Todd County Annual Feedlot Meeting was back in action again in 2023 with “This Little Piggy Went to Market.” There were 140 people in attendance for the meeting that was held at the Clarissa Ballroom. This year’s meeting will be at Shattuck’s Hub Supper Club on Long Lake near Burtrum on Thursday, March 21, 2024. Our meeting is titled There’s a Hole in the Bucket!

Feedlot topics this year will pertain to on the ground options for better farm and nutrient management, feedlot program updates, and ventilation do’s and don’ts for feedlot owners. We have three CFOs giving presentations, one on how MinnFARM helps determine compliance and the others on winter manure application and the runoff risk advisory tool. Woven throughout the day will be mini presentations on observation wells, local cost share opportu-

nities, nutrient management, manure application and feedlot fixes.

Keynote “WOW” presenters will be Kenneth Blumenfeld from the Minnesota State Climate Office discussing climate trends and how they can affect feedlot owners, and Erin Cortus and Joe Armstrong from University of Minnesota Extension who will talk about the importance of proper ventilation in today’s confinement barns and how ventilation impacts livestock health. The end goal will be to get producers to think about long term animal ag resiliency and adaptation. There is also some time set aside to discuss Todd County Feedlot Ordinance Updates.

Meal will consist of chicken and ham with mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, coleslaw and dinner rolls. Call 320-732-2644 to RSVP, hope to see you there!

Sudoku

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.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey

Dear Dave, Our son will be graduating from high school in May, and then heading off to college in August. He will also be working during the summer to save up money for school. When classes begin, do you think he should continue working a part-time job, or would it be better for him to focus solely on his studies? -Brenda

Dear Brenda,

There’s really nothing wrong with either approach, especially during a kid’s first semester in college. As a parent, though, I’d urge you not to fall into the trap of thinking his grades will go down if he holds a job while in school. Research actually shows that, on average, kids who work while in college carry higher grade point averages than those who don’t.

The reasons for this differ, depending on who you ask, but I think a lot of it has to do with them having to learn to manage their time—and their lives—more effectively. Lots of kids could pay their way through school, and not have to worry about student loans, if they just used some of the time they spend watching television and on social activities at a job.

We never required our kids to work during the school year, but they were self-starters. And when they came home for the summer, there was no such thing as just lying around the house all day. They had jobs, and they made money. Of course, some of it went toward

having a little fun during their time off. But we made sure they set some aside for the next school year, too.

Long story short, the philosophy of not wanting kids at college to work so they can spend all their time studying is well-meaning, but misguided. For the most part, kids who work while they’re in school will make better grades and develop into more mature and wellrounded individuals.

I hope this helps, Brenda! -Dave

Dear Motor Medics, I want to buy a truck to pull my boat and camper. I have listened to your radio show for over twenty years and have heard you talk about loading and overloading of vehicles many times but now it’s my turn and I didn’t pay close attention. My camper is the heaviest and weighs 8500 pounds when loaded with my gear. The passengers and I all add up to about 800 pounds. What should I be looking at for a vehicle.

-Bryn in Longview, Texas

Dear Bryn,

You need to be at 80 percent of the vehicles tow capacity to be safe so a truck which can tow 9500 pounds when considering only 80 percent of its tow rating will get you what you need. Trucks that are now called 1500 or f-150 or even some of the larger Toyota trucks can accomplish this. Older 1500 trucks commonly called half-ton trucks back in the day just won’t cut it. 2016 and newer trucks now have more gears in the transmissions and heavier frames and braking allowing you to haul more safely but never exceed 80 percent of the max towing rating. Don’t forget to look for a truck with a tow package as one without won’t be rated the same as one with. It is easy to be lured by ads that say max tow rating, but fine print says, “as shown” and “When properly equipped” so ask questions and get it in writing.

-Take care, the Motor Medics Dear Motor Medics, I have a 2016 Ram truck with the Cummins engine. This truck is used for pulling by boat and camper and during the week I pull a skid steer loader and an excavator to my construction sites, so it never stops pulling. I bought the truck deleted from another state, both the EGR was removed and the DPFE filter. Recently I had to take the truck in for a recall and they programed the computer

causing a check engine light. I want to put the truck back to stock but want to know if the aftermarket parts are any good as the factory parts are super expensive.

-David in Lansing, Michigan Dear David,

We have replaced many emissions system parts in our shop and have used aftermarket parts for some and others have received factory parts. They do make some good quality aftermarket parts that can give you huge cost savings but beware, you get what you pay for in many cases. Check the reviews of the parts before buying and we would also suggest that you look at some real work actual user reviews on YouTube so you can see if those page reviews really line up with what actual users see. Once you have the factory parts installed there are some aftermarket tuners which you can use which can add some decent power to the truck but still keep it in compliance with the federal emissions regulations.

-Take care, the Motor Medics

Grey Eagle Township Meeting Draws Many Due to Big Birch Lake Public Access

By Lori Young

Grey Eagle Township held its annual meeting on Tuesday, March 12, with many in attendance due to an agenda item regarding the public access on the north end of Big Birch Lake.

At the August 7, 2023, Township meeting, Mark Erdmann of the Big Birch Lake Association presented signage for the BBL access, as the association had requested that the access be closed to motorized boats in the summer. The (BBL) Association is trying to keep the lake clean and free of milfoil and other weeds. At that meeting, John Young made a motion to put up a sign for this year and discuss the closing at the annual meeting in March; Alan Roering made a second to that motion, adding that the board would need to see and approve the signage before it is put up. Motion carried.

Confusion arose about closing the boat access, thinking it would no longer be used for both summer and winter.

The Township owns three parcels on the north end of Big Birch Lake: the swimming beach, the land West of the creak, and the boat landing. The Big Birch Lake Association wanted to shut the boat landing down over the summer season because it could not monitor boats going in and out of it to prevent the spread of invasive species.

Monitoring all the accesses on Big Birch Lake for incoming invasive species is challenging, but closing the access for the summer would limit the accessibility for many residents who have used the Township boat landing for years. The Township landing is not a great spot to unload and load motorized boats. It is very shallow, and launching motorized boats is nearly impossible. The Township Board felt the best way to help alleviate issues would be to put a sign up at the public access directing larger watercraft to the DNR landing on the West side of Big Birch Lake while keeping the Township landing open for carry-in watercraft.

Signage would include that the access is shallow and recommended for carry-in watercraft like kayaks, canoes, etc. Trailers or motorized boats need to use the DNR access down the road. Keep the access clean. Respect neighboring property. Public restrooms are by the swimming beach, and the DNR access, and the Township is not responsible for any damages. The Township Board felt this would help boaters find a better

ATTENTION! Grey Eagle Housing Association Members

The 44th Annual Meeting of the Grey Eagle Housing Association will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Monday, April 8, 2024, in the Menge Community Room at Village View Apartments in Grey Eagle. (Our Monthly Meeting will be held at 3:45 p.m.)

spot for larger watercraft and keep the landing open for smaller watercraft and local use.

Local residents commented on the need to keep the access open in the summer. A local businessman uses the landing for his barge to haul stuff across the lake. Another felt there are heavier uses on the main accesses after hours of monitoring than the small Township access. One asked why it is even being brought up to close since large boats cannot even get in the access. Residents who live here are protective of the lake; visitors from outside the area are the issue.

The biggest concerns of the Big Birch Lake Association are boat motors, live wells, and tournament fishing, which carry invasive species to the lakes, not kayaks and canoes. Big Birch Lake has six accesses that would need to be monitored to help slow down the spread of invasive species. The boat landing by the old St. Rosa Resort on the East side of the lake in Millwood Township is closed in the summer. This is a small boat landing where they believe zebra muscles were first found. If starry stonewort and milfoil come in, it will cause significant damage to the lake.

Grey Eagle Township let the residents know they never intended to close the access. They wanted to present it to the public for their comments. Residents and the DNR use the access, which is also available for emergency personnel.

A question was asked about the swimming beach. The Township will be putting up signage. They just removed a tree and want it to be a safer spot for all who use the space for swimming and picnicking.

Signage for the swimming beach will include the following: Pets must be on a leash. People must clean up after pets. Fishing is not allowed. Keep areas clean. Motorboats are not allowed in the swimming area.

The Township Board Members shared their plans to keep the access and swimming beach open and feel it is best to educate people by putting up signs.

Nomination & Elections of 2 Directors: If you qualify as a member of Grey Eagle Housing Association and live in the area, you may nominate yourself, or another member of the association, to the Board of Directors either at the meeting or in writing before the meeting. This year we will elect 2 people to three-year terms. Please submit the names you wish to nominate to Margaret Newberg, 303 Cedar Street North, #25, Grey Eagle, MN 56336.
