Happy Mother’s Day to All Mom’s and a special one to the Greatest Mom in the World!

On The Inside...

When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life.

Strengthen your memory -By Harvey Mackay

“Do you know what today is?” a wife asked her husband as he left for work.

“Of course I know what today is,” grumped the husband.

“I can’t believe you would think I would forget such an important day.” And with that the husband rushed to his car to conceal his panic and embarrassment.

Had he forgotten their wedding anniversary again?

That evening the husband returned home bearing a dozen roses and a beautiful dress from his wife’s favorite boutique. “This should win me some points,” he thought to himself.

His wife could barely contain her excitement. “My goodness!” she exclaimed. “A dress AND flowers. What a wonderful surprise. But tell the truth, do you know what day this is?”

“Of course,” said the husband confidently.

His wife said, “Today is Arbor Day!” Will he forget Arbor Day ever again? Probably not. But he will have a tough act to top his anniversary!

Most people who claim they have a poor memory actually have an untrained memory. Twenty percent remember by hearing, so say things out loud. Forty

percent remember by seeing, and the other forty percent by doing, so write things down to prove to yourself that you know it.

But this isn’t anything new. Confucius said 2,500 years ago: “What I hear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand.”

You have heard me say many times Pale ink is better than the most retentive memory. In other words, write it down.

Brain clutter and interruptions can detour the best intentions to remember.

Ever had a great idea that you forgot almost right away? Most of us have, and it can happen more frequently as we grow older. It’s often said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but just about any healthy person can improve his or her memory.

Take, for example, Scott Hagwood, who follows a regimen to improve his memory similar to those athletes use to train their bodies. Hagwood suffered from thyroid cancer, and one of the side effects of his radiation treatments was memory loss. Hagwood, who most would consider an average college student, entered a contest called the U.S.A. Memoriad - a sort of memory Olympics.

Contestants memorize poetry, decks of cards, lists of numbers, words and so on.

Hagwood won.

You can improve your memory and keep it strong at any age by following a few basic tips: • Get plenty of rest. Lack of sleep can diminish your brain’s ability to solve problems, think creatively, and

form memories. A good night’s sleep is essential.

• Exercise. Physical activity increases the flow of oxygen to your brain and keeps you healthy in other ways. You become more alert and relaxed, thereby improving your memory. Relaxation techniques can be helpful to improving memory.

• Socialize. Stay in touch with friends. Good relationships are important to emotional health and mental processes because they provide stimulation and laughter. Volunteer, join a club or get a pet.

• Reduce stress. You may not be able to eliminate all unpleasant situations and activities from your life, but do your best to manage your reaction to them.

• Eat the right food. A nutritious diet can help you stay in shape mentally as well as physically. Research shows that foods with Omega-3 fatty acids may lower your risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and fruits and vegetables supply antioxidants that are good for your brain.

• Organize your thoughts. Learning Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

Harvey Mackay continued from page 2 new material or retaining facts works best when you group related information until you have mastered it, and then move on to other concepts.

• Spend extra time for really difficult material. Learning the names of a couple new co-workers is a breeze - but when you need to identify every member of your new department, allow yourself a little more leeway. Study lists so the names themselves become familiar.

• Keep your brain active. Spend more time reading and doing crosswords or Sudoku puzzles than watching TV. A good mental workout will keep your mind in shape to process and remem­ber important information.

• Minimize distractions. Pay atten-

tion. Distractions can make you quickly forget even simple items. The ability to concentrate and focus can’t be understated. If you’re easily distracted, pick a quiet place where you won’t be interrupted.

Mackay’s Moral: Exercise your brain so your memory doesn’t get flabby.

Unexpected Detours -By Sheila Ripplinger

Soon we will be entering in to the season of family vacations, road trips, exploring the beautiful trails, state parks, and so on.

We are also entering the season of road construction and unexpected detours. Personally, I enjoy taking the back roads over the heavily traveled roads and I purposely take the scenic route whenever possible.

I have a silly but precious memory of an unexpected detour that took place when I was sixteen years old. My dad’s occupation as an electrician for the telephone company had brought him to temporarily work in the state of Colorado. I had taken a Greyhound bus ride out to visit him.

It came time for us to head back home to Minnesota. Being anxious to return home to the rest of the family, we had decided to drive dad’s car straight through, taking turns driving while the other rested. During my turn of driving, dad was resting his head on his pillow, and all was going well. All of a sudden, I came upon a seven mile detour... which happened to be all gravel! I didn’t wake my dad, I simply drove on knowing this was the only way to go. However, due to the major texture change in the road, my dad woke up! Imagine how he must have felt to wake up in the middle of ‘who knows where’ having trusted his not-so-experienced-in-driving daughter to drive according to the directions on

It was fun to play along with his astonished reaction for a while before I decided I’d better tell him that we were on a detoured route.

I have taken detours in my life and realized that I was definitely on the wrong route and truly lost, not knowing which way to go next. How thankful I am that by God’s Amazing Grace, and by trusting in Him to be my Guide, He detours me back to the right route that He intends for me to follow.

If we keep our eyes on our Guide, those rough textured detours we travel on in life can bring us closer to the ultimate destination for which we are headed... Our Heavenly Home.

God in His Grace has given us His Son and provided all of the directions that we need to show us the way to go even through the toughest unexpected detours of this life.

chosen as the Swanville Junior/Senior High School April Student of the Month for 7-9th grades.

He is a seventh grade student and is the son of David and Ann Koetter. Tanner enjoys hunting, fishing, biking, kayaking and working with electronics. Academically, he is an outstanding student, having been on the A Honor Roll for the first 3 quarters of his junior high career. Outside of school Tanner is always willing to help a neighbor with outdoor chores and mows the lawn for many community members. He is also active in his church.

Liza Hasse, math teacher comments “I have had the pleasure in working with Tanner over the course of the year. He is a very intelligent and hardworking student. He has good problem solving

a wonderful sense of humor and a neat personality to share with his classmates.

He gets along well with others and is always willing to help other students. I look forward to working with Tanner in the future.”

Tom Bzdok, Social Studies Teacher adds, “Tanner is a wonderful student to have in class. He sets high academic standards for himself and works hard to achieve them. He is a very mature young man who never complains, or makes excuses when things do not go as planned. He has a positive attitude, an eagerness to learn, and encourages classmates in a positive manner. Tanner is the type of student who will make the right decisions in life, and is sure to put a smile on everyone’s face. Congratulations Tanner!”

Tanner participated in football and basketball this year as a junior high student and plans to play baseball this spring. He also participated in the Fall Play. His advice for other students is that “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

Swanville Sr. High April Student of the Month Swanville Junior/Senior High School is proud to announce Senior Tren Dinius as the April Student of the Month for grades 10-12.

He is the son of Janal and Al Kruzel and Ted Dinius. Tren has been a member of the Swanville Chapter of the National Honor Society as a junior and senior. He has participated in the Healthy Communities Collaborative since his freshman year, was in the play as a senior and also is involved in the production of the yearbook. Tren is also a three-sport athlete, having participated in Baseball, Football and Basketball in grades seven through twelve. He received the Basketball All Conference Honorable Mention during the 201112 school year. Tren does not keep all

the athletic ability just for school sports team however; he has coached Little League Baseball, summer football and basketball for the past two summers.

Adam Gerads, High School Staff member and coach comments, “I have had the privilege to get to know and coach Tren over the last three years. I have not come across a more respectful young man. Tren is a leader by example on and off the field. He is a hard worker and dedicated to what he is doing in the moment. He is what every coach hopes for in an athlete. I have never seen Tren give less then his best effort. He has challenged himself in taking numerous college classes. His grades and class rank reflect his hard work and dedication to his studies. He is a true role model for younger kids.

Pam Czech, Yearbook Advisor and Social Studies teacher adds, “Tren is an excellent choice for student of the month. As his Digital Media teacher, I have seen many examples of his talents.

He can do just about anything I ask of him on a computer and if he is not sure

be successful in the future.”

Tren enjoys all aspects of football, basketball and baseball. He is also interested in videogames and ping-pong. After graduation Tren plans to attend Saint Cloud State University for a Computer Science Degree and then attend the University of Minnesota to complete a Masters in Software Engineering. His advice for fellow students is to “Set a goal and push yourself towards achieving it.”

Compassion fatigue, the stress of caring Have you ever felt like you had nothing left to give? That emotionally you were as dry as a desert? Caring for others without recharging may cause what is known as “compassion fatigue.” Morale drops, health declines and personal and work relationships suffer.

St. Cloud Hospital Spiritual Care, as part of National Health Care Week, is sponsoring internationally respected physician Terry Eagan, MD, to provide insight from 7-8 p.m. May 14 on ways to identify the signs and symptoms of com-

passion fatigue and how to deal with these issues. Dr. Eagan is a prominent psychiatrist with a range of specialties including eating disorders, addictive disorders, primary psychiatric conditions, human sexuality and spiritual therapy. He has had the opportunity to work with a number of patients from the entertainment industry, including film, television and music, as well as politics and business.

The event is free and will take place at St. Cloud Hospital in Hoppe Auditorium.

of the task, he finds a way to complete it.

He is also known for his personal qualities such as intelligence, work ethic, teamwork, and leadership. Tren is my “go-to” person in class as he is very hard working and helps to motivate and inspire other students. He is extremely good in academics and also actively participates in extracurricular activities such as football, basketball, and baseball. I am very confident that Tren will

Upsala Sr. High Student of the Month Minnesota Through The Lens: Upsala High choir teacher Denise Cheney stated,

School junior, Josiah Lojovich, is the April, Senior High School Student of the Month. He is the son of Steve and Lisa Lojovich of Burtrum, Minnesota.

Josiah is a true role model for his peers, consistently placing on the school’s “A Honor Roll.” He is a member of the senior high Knowledge Bowl team as well as choir and drama. In 2012, Josiah was selected as “Best Actor in a Leading Role.” Josiah commented that his favorite class is choir because he gets to “see my best friend everyday and use my beautiful singing voice.” Josiah’s

“Josiah is a pleasure to have in class. In the two years he has been in choir, he has improved tremendously. He always works hard and makes class enjoyable.

On stage, Josiah feels at home. He is not afraid to become a different character.

Josiah is a role model for others. He is kind, polite, and respectful. I am looking forward to working with him in his senior year. Congrats!” Josiah said his most valuable activity at school is drama because “it’s so much fun!”

Outside of the academic environment, Josiah loves watching movies and television shows, hanging out with his pals, and eating. After graduation, he plans to go to California, to write and direct movies and television shows, and to win an Oscar®. When asked to offer advice for his classmates, Josiah replied, “Don’t’ stop believing, study hard, stay in school, laugh a lot, and be good friends to everyone.”

honor roll. She truly is a well-rounded student.”

This year Samantha is on the “B Honor Roll” and most enjoys her gym class because “it’s really fun and we play a lot of different things.” Samantha loves sports and is a member of our junior high volleyball, basketball, and softball teams; she also participates in JO Volleyball outside of school. She said that volleyball is her most valuable activity because “it’s fun!” When asked what advice she would give her fellow classmates Samantha said, “Pay attention in class and get good grades because if you don’t, you can’t play sports.

And, if you can’t play sports, then what else are you going to do?”

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson

Much work remains in session’s waning weeks We are in the final two weeks of session, and much work remains to be finished. The spending bills that will determine how our state operates during the next two years are all in conference committees, and it’s not expected we will see any of them back before the end of this week.

Despite the fact that both chambers are under DFL control, significant differences remain to be worked out, especially with regard to the tax bill. The House plan calls for raising $2.6 billion in new revenue, including new fourthand fifth-tier income tax rates that would give Minnesota the second highest tax rates in the country. The Senate’s tax plan raises less money, $1.9 billion, but would

LATE MODEL CARS & TRUCKS

change the sales tax to include clothing and some other services, including labor on repairs.

To complicate matters, Gov. Dayton has said he doesn’t support the tax on clothing. And he is not in favor of raising the income tax to pay back the school shift. In addition, some of the new taxes proposed by the Legislature would raise taxes on more residents than just the wealthiest Minnesotans, such as the Senate income tax or the House plan to raise taxes on tobacco and alcohol. The increase on beer, for example, would be 600 percent, going from $4 per barrel to $27.

I am concerned that we will hear other bills yet as we head down the stretch, legislation that is controversial but is being pushed by certain groups. On the agenda early in the week is a bill that addresses bullying and attempts to make state law in an attempt to control the problem. It will also raise costs, estimated around $26 million per year for our school districts.

I think we’ll also hear a bill that would provide for the unionization of day care providers and those who serve as personal care attendants (PCA’s). I’ve said many times that not one provider I’ve visited with has been in favor of the plan. Well, that’s not true anymore. One who is in favor of unionization did visit my office recently. She didn’t change my mind, however, as I’m still adamantly opposed to the idea.

We will probably also hear a bill to legalize same-sex marriage in the final days of session. The DFL had said they wouldn’t bring it up until the budget had

been taken care of, but the bill was added over the weekend to the schedule of the Ways and Means Committee. That’s the last stop for bills before being heard on the House floor, and HF 1054, Legalizing Gay Marriage, will be debated in that committee Monday evening, May 6. This is going to be a contentious issue, and if the bill gets a date on the House calendar, the DFL probably has enough votes to ensure its passage. Pressure has been ramping up in recent days, with ads promoting gay marriage on television and Gov. Dayton even visiting the DFL caucus. It’s my hope that enough rural Democrats will break rank and join Republicans in opposition to the bill. Only time will tell.

A young boy climbed to the top of a ladder. As he stood there, his father held out his arms and said to him, “Jump!”

As he jumped, the father moved away from the ladder and allowed the boy to fall to the ground. “That’s to teach you,” said his dad, “not to trust anybody.”

All of us know what it is like to be disappointed when we thought we could trust someone and then are betrayed.

We know the feeling of falling flat on our faces when we thought that the outstretched arms would be there to catch us. Not only is it embarrassing, but it hurts. Not only does it hurt, but it makes us cautious and fearful of putting our trust in anyone at anytime.

But there is One who is trustworthy.

We read in God’s Word that we are to “trust in the Lord with all our heart.” For some, it is difficult to trust God because so many have let us down and we fear that He will do the same. But we have His Word that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

Not only do we have His Word that He will be with us in this life, but we know that if we place our faith in Him, we will inherit eternal life and be with Him in the next.

Upsala FFA news -By McKenzie Barth, Reporter

Maciej, Brooke Westrich, Sara Herzog and Rene Hebig. The team must complete 3 various written tests, and they must evaluate cattle on the way they are built and give reasons to judges on why they placed the cattle as they did. On the team Brooke Westrich, Abby Maciej, and Rene Hebig all earned silver ribbons.

As you may have noticed, there are some names common to the teams.

We would like to congratulate Audrey Schleper, Elaina Youngbauer, and Rene Hebig for qualifying in two areas each.

We are so very proud of our state bound teams, as they have all put in so much time and effort to prepare themselves and each other for the State Convention on April 28-30. We cannot say how amazing it is to have our teams

compete in the state competition, and we are very proud of them. If you see any of these members, please don’t be shy to tell them congratulations!

Upsala FFA Petting Zoo

Upsala FFA will be hosting a Petting Zoo on May 15 from 9:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. at the Upsala Rec. Building.

Bring your kids, grandkids, cousins, nieces, and nephews! There will be several different types of animals there, including a llama, goats, and baby pigs!

It is a fun, interesting way to learn about these animals and connect with your local FFA Chapter.

Pulse on People

Pictured from the Upsala FFA are (front, from left) Sara Herzog, Brooke Westrich, Kendra Lange, Abby Maciej, Alison Gerads, Keith Ripplinger, Nathan Wuebkers, Shawn Urbanski; (back) Elaina Youngbauer, Kenzie Barth, Sami Van Wienen, Audrey Schleper, Tara Christian, Makenzie Marstein, Rene Hebig, Cory Wensmann and Travis Rahn.

Our FFA Chapter has been very successful this year. We had 16 members go to compete at state, a very high number for a chapter our size. These 16 members fit into 4 teams and 1 individual.

First, I would like to congratulate all of our state bound competitors. All of them have worked very hard to be able to compete at the regional level to earn their way to the state competition. We are so very proud of all of them, as it is amazing to have so many from a chapter so small.

Our first team to qualify for the state competition was Soils and Land Use. They compete by judging the quality of a sample of soil in the field, and they are rated on how accurately they have judged it. They also have to be able to identify types of soils. On this team are Makenzie Marstein, Travis Rahn, Keith Ripplinger and Jaret Kiley. Sadly, Jaret was not able to go to state convention.

Still, the team earned a bronze ribbon, and Keith Ripplinger earned a silver ribbon as an individual.

Next to qualify was Horse Judging.

On this team are Elaina Youngbauer, Sami Van Wienen, Audrey Schleper and Kendra Lange. They compete by judging 4 classes of 4 horses each. They judge the horses on how they are put together,

or their conformation. Then judges rate how accurately the teams placed the horses. The team must also give reasons for why they placed the horses as they did. The team earned a bronze, and Audrey Schleper earned a silver ribbon as an individual.

Our Parliamentary Procedure team also qualified. They are comprised of Audrey Schleper, Chelsey Wolbeck, Elaina Youngbauer, Rene Hebig, Shawn Urbanski, Nathan Wuebkers will be filling in for Hope Boeckermann, and McKenzie Barth filled in for Chelsey Wolbeck, as they could not attend the State Convention. To compete in Parli, the team must run a mock meeting with required abilities, such as making a motion and referring a motion to a committee. The team was our first Parli Team for quite a while, and we are extremely proud of them for carving a path for future teams to compete.

Our Creed Speaker McKenzie Barth qualified as well. The FFA Creed is a list of beliefs about agriculture and morals, which is recited, and then the competitor must answer questions about the creed to a panel of judges. 19 speakers competed and our speaker earned a silver.

Last to qualify was our Dairy Cattle Evaluation Team. On the team are Abby

Statewide conditions of boat launches vary due to late ice-out Due to the late ice-out, repair crews may not able to get to all Department of Natural Resources (DNR) boat launches in time for the May 11 fishing opener, particularly in northern Minnesota where many of the large lakes still have ice.

Each spring, Parks and Trails Division crews inspect and repair launch ramps and install docks.

“This work cannot be done until the ice is off the lake, and it can take a couple of weeks to get to every site in each work area,” said Nancy Stewart, public water access program coordinator. “It may be wise for boaters to call ahead for the latest report on the water body and access they plan to use.”

Meanwhile, most public water accesses at lakes in the metro area and south will be ready for boaters.

Stewart offers these suggestions for the opener: • Be patient at the boat ramp and use extra care while launching and loading boats.

• Have hip boots or waders and a U.S. Coast Guard approved life jacket available to wear when entering the water to help guide boat and trailer, especially where docks are not yet available.

• If a person’s traditional fishing opener lake is not ready, they should have a back-up plan.

• Operate boats carefully, because there could be free-floating ice sheets

Rep. Anderson releases survey results

Rep. Paul Ander­son, R-Starbuck, has released the results of an online survey he conducted in order to receive input from local citizens on key issues.

Anderson said the overarching message is respondents indicate the economy is recovering and want the Legislature to focus on taxpayer protection, efficiency in government and adherence to constitutional values.

In fact, 60 percent of survey respondents say the economy is improving and 76 percent do not favor raising taxes to balance the state budget. Furthermore, 58 percent support traditional marriage over civil unions (22 percent) and same-sex marriage (20 percent). Survey participants also strongly back Second Amendment rights, with 75 percent saying they do not support additional gun-control measures.

“It was quite interesting to go over the results of my survey,” Anderson said.

“Beyond answers to the questions, people provided me with great personal feedback in the comment section. The input I received will be of great help as we face important decisions on final passage of bills down the stretch this session.”

A top spending priority, 76 percent of respondents say, should be to eliminate the $801 million in delayed payments the state owes to school districts.

THE JUNCTION

The nine-question survey also addressed some other issues currently up for discussion in St. Paul. The most one-sided response pertains to a proposal that would unionize private day care providers and personal care attendants. An overwhelming 92 percent do not support this initiative.

A 78-percent majority says they do not endorse a bill that would bring new energy mandates to Minnesota. Measures in the bill would require greater solar implementation, along with a stipulation to derive 40 percent of our state’s energy from renewable sources by 2030.

One proposal the Legislature approved and Gov. Mark Dayton enacted establishes a Health Insurance Exchange.

It includes a tax of up to 3.5 percent on health insurance premiums to fund its operations in compliance with the Affordable Care Act. Four out of five respondents do not support the new exchange and a like number also do not think it will eventually lower the cost of health insurance.

“I want to thank the hundreds of people who took the time to participate in this survey,” Anderson said. “It will be really helpful as I continue doing my best to represent the people of our district.”

Fishing opener; planning and caution urged Ice or no ice, Minnesota’s walleye and northern pike fishing opener is Saturday, May 11.

Anglers who have traditionally headed north for the first weekend of the season should check ice conditions and the availability of public water accesses and roads leading to them. Good sources of information are bait shops, resorts and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) area offices at www. mndnr.gov/contact/locator.html.

Even if the ice is out, some waters traditionally open may be closed to fishing to protect fish spawning areas. Information on seasonal closures is avail-

able by following the seasonal closures link at www.mndnr.gov/fishing or www. mndnr.gov/regulations/fishing.

Water temperatures will be colder than normal even if ice is out. Frigid water can affect more than the bite; it can have dangerous and potentially fatal impacts. Anglers should exercise extra caution and wear life vests. Hypothermia occurs quickly in cold water and the shock of falling into icy water also can cause cardiac arrest, even for people in good health.

For information about this year’s walleye and northern pike opener, visit www.mndnr.gov/opener/fishing.
