Age is only a number -By Harvey Mackay October is one of my favorite months, perhaps because that’s when I get to blow out my birthday candles and celebrate another successful year. Who doesn’t love birthdays? My age is irrelevant; in fact, I subscribe to the iconic comedian Jack Benny’s philosophy. He turned 39 in 1933, and remained that age until his death in 1974. I’ve been 39 for a few years now, and it just keeps getting better. As a constant advocate for lifelong learning, I am directing the advice in this column not only to those who have years of job experience, but also those who are just getting started in the work world and everyone in between. Here’s what I want everyone to

repeat after me: your age does not dictate your ability to accomplish. Reaching that magical retirement age does not mean you are finished contributing to society. Let me give you a few examples of people who refused to “act their age”: Admiral Rickover, the designer of the first nuclear submarine, was still a consultant to the Navy at the age of 82. Both Grandma Moses and Georgia O’Keefe, American artists, continued to paint well past the age of 90 and on into their hundredth year. Russian artist Marc Chagall was designing stained glass windows for churches in many parts of the world at age 90. Frank Lloyd Wright, considered one of the greatest modern American architects, created an entirely original concept of architecture when he was well past the age of 90. Wright was fond of saying: “Youth is a quality, and if you have it, you never lose it.” George Bernard Shaw, Irish dramatist, was still working on a play at the age of 93 when his prolific life ended prematurely due to complications from a

broken leg. V e r d i continued to compose operas as well as the well-known Requiem when he was in his 80s. He created a retirement home for musicians. Arthur Rubinstein gave a concert at Carnegie Hall at age 90. He was almost blind and unable to read the notes. Nevertheless, he played with his usual perfection. Afterward, he was heard to remark, “The music is in my mind.” Albert Schweitzer was an outstanding German organist and philosopher who created a new life in Africa for the underprivileged. He was a physician, a clergyman and an expert in music. He was active until age 90. Pablo Picasso, having painted over 20,000 pictures, is considered by many to be the greatest artist of the 20th century. At the age of 90, he remarked, “I often feel young ... like 20, and I am only concerned when I feel that I am aging.” Robert Frost, nearly 87, read his poem, “The Gift Outright” at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy in 1961. Perhaps you detected a theme here – many of these highly accomplished people were creative types who were not Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

Harvey Mackay continued from page 2 bound by the traditional expectations of retirement. I wonder if there is a correlation. Regardless of your vocation, I strongly encourage you to never stop using your talents and abilities. Even if you are looking forward to leaving the workforce at some point, you have marvelous opportunities to leave your mark on the world. Most of us are familiar with the myth of the Phoenix, an Egyptian bird of great beauty that was found in the Arabian Desert. There was only one, and it lived for hundreds of years. When it sensed that it was about to die, it built its own funeral pyre, lighted it by fanning its wings, then flew into the fire and arose young again from the ashes. The Phoenix came to be associated with the sun god who disappeared as an old man each night and appeared as a child the following morning. For centuries the Phoenix has become a symbol of rebirth and renewal.
Historian Arnold Toynbee, shared this reflection on life at the age of 81: “As one grows older, the temptation to dwell on the past and to avert one’s eyes from the future grows. If one were to fall into this backward-looking stance, one would be as good as dead before physical death had overtaken us. Our minds, so long as they keep their cutting edge, are not bound by our physical

Obituaries Joan C. Otto
Stephen “Sam” Bus’
Mass of Christian Burial celebrating the life of Joan C. Otto, age 95, of Sauk Centre, was held Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Melrose. Father Marv Enneking officiated and burial took place in the Immaculate Conception Cemetery in New Munich. Joan passed away Thursday, October 29, 2015 surrounded by loved ones at the CentraCare Health in Sauk Centre. Joan was born on July 15, 1920 to Leo and Catherine (Thull) Sand in New Munich, and had 12 siblings. At age 27, she married James Otto and their union was blessed with eight children. Joan was a homemaker, caring for her family while James traveled for work, and always had homemade foods, caramel rolls, and canned goods to feed them all. She liked having a vegetable garden, and actively gardened into her 90s. Joan would use her own compost, save seeds for the next year, and canned much of her and other’s produce. She also enjoyed quilting and crocheting, and was known to give hand-made items for gifts. As most of her brothers and her husband
were all veterans, Joan began to give back and show her support of veterans. She was also a source of support and encouragement for her children, all of whom went on to college. Over the years, she was recognized often for her selfless giving of time and energy to help others. Joan volunteered her time with veterans organizations, at the Mother of Mercy Nursing Home, and at her church. She was a longtime member of Immaculate Conception Church in New Munich, and also attended and volunteered at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Melrose. Joan is survived by her children Lois Tack, Brookfield, WI; Janice Bechdolt, Citrus Springs, FL; Tom (Marlette) Otto, Fairfax, MN; Rick (Pam) Otto, Milan, MN; Patrice Melom, St. Cloud, MN; Donna (Tom) O’Connor, Maple Grove, MN; her siblings Maynard (Mel) Sand, St. Joseph; Bert (Lorraine) Sand, New Munich; Marlene Benkowski, Morris; Syl Sand, St. Cloud; Flo (Ray) Mayers, New Munich; Jean (Clarence) Enneking, Albany; her 19 grandchildren; her 6 great-grandchildren; her son-inlaw Randall McKinnis; and many other family and friends. She is greeted in Heaven by her parents Leo and Catherine Sand, her daughter Doris McKinnis, her son Robert Otto, her sisters Lucille Sand and Pauline Krushek, and her brothers Ed, Vern, Jerome and Ervin Sand.

Museum Program Focuses on Saint John’s Abbey Church Historian Discusses Marcel Breuer and the Creation of a Modern Sacred Space Victoria Young, an architectural historian from the University of St. Thomas, will present “Saint John’s Abbey Church” during Breakfast Club on Wednesday, November 11, 2015 at the Stearns History Museum. The program begins at 9 a.m. and focuses on the transition, not only architecturally, in how liturgical space developed after World War II. In the 1950s, the Benedictine Abbey of Saint John the Baptist in Collegeville decided to expand their campus, including the construction a new church.
Sudoku Answers from October 29
From a who’s who of architectural stars, the Benedictines chose a former member of the Bauhaus, Marcel Breuer. Young writes, “This building project announced the Benedictines as leaders of liturgical reform within monasticism and confirmed Marcel Breuer’s position as one of the most innovative architects of the mid- century.” The untested religious designer produced a work of modern sculptural concrete architecture that envisioned what a church could be and set a worldwide standard for mid-century religious design. There is a fee for non-members. Refreshments are served. The Museum is located at 235 33rd Ave. S. in St. Cloud.
Thought for the week:
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. -Ralph Waldo Emerson
There are few things that are more important to us than our safety and security. We depend on rules and regulations for our well-being and protection. We have the police to protect us and the military to guard us. We rely on individuals we have never met to enforce laws and be alert if there is an emergency. Yet, in spite of all of the layers of defense that have been placed around us, the threats of life continue to surround us. We search for a moment of peace in these times of turbulence. However, the Christian has a resource that is always available. The Psalmist reminds us that “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Not only are we reminded that

God is our refuge and strength but that He is ever-present! The word refuge means shelter. When the rains fall and the rivers rise we find a place of security in the arms of God. When days are dark and nights long we have His light to shine around us and keep us from falling. When sickness strikes and illness lingers we have the assurance of His presence and peace. And His strength - His mighty power - is there as our shield and sword. No one would go into any battle without the proper equipment to protect and defend himself. Here, however, we are reminded that the battle belongs to our God and He will not only fight for us but will protect us from anyone who would hurt or harm us, destroy or defeat us. And we can take great assurance that His refuge and strength are everpresent. He is with us - not will be with us - wherever we are. We have no reason to be frightened when the world seems to be closing in on us and the pressures of life are about to overcome us. God: our refuge and strength - here, now.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey Dear Dave, Our son is a senior in college. We all signed a contract before he left for school a few years ago stating that we would pay for school and provide him a car to drive as long as he maintained good grades and behaved in a respectful and mature manner. Over the last couple of years, his grades have dropped and he’s been acting more and more disrespectful. We learned recently that he even told a family friend that he hated us. My husband went to confront him about his behavior and this statement, and our son admitted he said it and was unrepentant. My husband immediately took the car and cut off his cell phone, like we had agreed. But now, I just feel sick with worry. Did we do the right thing? -Carla Dear Carla, I’m sure you do feel sick inside. If you didn’t feel that way to some extent, you’d be a terrible person. This is your child we’re talking about. And even though he brought this on himself by being a twerp, and you guys are simply following through on the agreement, it hurts you because you’re human — and a good mom. It may seem extreme to some folks, but what you guys did wasn’t capricious or arbitrary. There was a deal in place, and he knew the terms of the contract. If someone worked for me and did or said or tweeted the kind of stuff you’re talking about, I’d fire them on the spot. This kid has got to learn how to behave in the culture and that there are consequences for breaking your word and violating contracts. But here’s some good news for you, Carla. You married a real man — a strong and loving man. What he did took

a ton of strength and courage. There are so many wimps in our culture today, but you married a good one. And whether this kid realizes it or not, he’s got one heck of a dad who really cares. I’ll give you a prediction. Within 30 days, your kid comes home wagging his tail behind him. Even if he’s stubborn, being hungry and strapped for cash — along with losing his wheels — will solve a lot of that. From diapers until they’re out of the house, and even after they’re out of the house, you make a lot of those kinds of calls if you’re a good parent. -Dave Dear Dave, I’m 45 years old and a single mom. I have a decent job, but I want to go back to school to become a nurse. The money would be much better than what I make now, but I’d have to take out student loans to make this happen. Is it worth the risk? -Susan Dear Susan, Is nursing a field worth pursuing, especially when it is something you love and would increase your income significantly? You bet! Nursing is a very honorable profession. Am I going to tell you to take out loans to make it happen? Absolutely not! Save as much as you possibly can first — even if it’s just a little each month. Then, I want you to look into Pell Grants, traditional and non-traditional scholarships and what I call the “indentured servitude” program. There’s still something of a nurse shortage in this country, and there are hospitals and drug companies that will agree to pay your school bills if you go to work for them afterwards for a specific number of years. I’m proud of you, Susan. Gaining knowledge and improving yourself and your career prospects are all good things. But stay away from student loan debt. It’s bad and unnecessary! -Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

There will be the usual cookie, hot chocolate, coffee, cider, and Santa at the Credit Union but we will also be doing sleigh rides around town.

generously decided to be open and do a craft project with the kids. More details to come about the vendor/craft fair and library information as the date nears. We are also looking to get the streets lit for the holiday, so the sleigh ride is a little “brighter.” Please feel free to decorate your businesses and homes as you feel fit.

Upsala Sr. High Student of the Month Rachel Prom has been named the Upsala Senior High School Student of the Month for September. Rachel is the daughter of DJ and Joanne Prom, and the sister of Collin. Rachel is very involved in student activities at UHS as a member of Band, Choir, Drama, Knowledge Bowl, NHS and Student Council. Rachel has been a member of the “A” Honor Roll, and has also received academic recognition as Area Student of the Month numerous times. Rachel also serves as the President of the student council. In addition to her active involvement in school activities, Rachel is a member of the Albany
Community Band and also volunteers at the Upsala Public Library, serves mass at St. Mary’s Church, and is involved in St. Mary’s as a musician. Rachel’s favorite and most valuable class is College Psychology because she really enjoys evaluating and learning more about herself and there is a lot that she can apply to her life. Ms. Jessica Hovland, Rachel’s Intro to College Algebra teacher states, “Rachel is an amazing girl who inspires people around her to be better. She is one of the most patient, caring and fun students that I have had the opportunity to work with. She is more than deserving of this honor!” In addition to her active school life, Rachel enjoys making music, going for walks, and making memories with family and friends. Rachel has this advice for her classmates - “It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are” - E.E. Cummings.
DNR Provides Buffer Mapping Project Details
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is providing a timeline and other details about its production of maps for the state’s new law requiring vegetative buffers around bodies of water. The information is available at www. mndnr.gov/buffers. “We understand people have questions about the buffer initiative,” said Dave Leuthe, DNR project manager. “This information explains the process the DNR will use for the mapping project, the timeline in which maps will be developed, and opportunities for local governments and the public to engage in the process.” Gov. Mark Dayton’s landmark buffer initiative was signed into law earlier this year. The law will establish new perennial vegetation buffers of up to 50 feet along rivers, streams and ditches to help filter out phosphorus, nitrogen and sediment.

The DNR is responsible for producing maps of public waters and ditch systems that require buffers under the new law. Local governments will provide information on ditches, which the DNR will integrate with information on public waters to develop preliminary buffer maps. The DNR is scheduled to produce final maps by July 2016, using a fourphase approach: • Phase I: This fall, the DNR will use existing digital data to identify public waters that require a buffer (50-foot average width) and provide the information to local governments for review. • Phase II: Beginning this fall and continuing through winter, the DNR will coordinate with counties and watershed districts to transfer local information on ditches, within the benefited areas of public drainage systems, into digital data. This will be used by the DNR to Buffers continued to pg 11

Upsala Jr. High Student of the Month Congratulations to 8th grader, Tiffany Loscheider, the September 2015 Upsala Area Schools Junior High School Student of the Month. She is the daughter of Laurie and Matthew Loscheider of Grey Eagle, Minnesota. A consistent member of the A and B Honor Rolls, Tiffany is showing continued growth in her academic abilities. She is a past recipient of “Student of the Month” and “Subject Area Student of the Month” and is a member of our junior high basketball team. Tiffany stated that the most valuable academic lesson she has learned this year is “When you fail, don’t stop. Try. You will succeed in life and get somewhere not by failing,
but by trying.” Tiffany’s most valuable class is English because she uses it every day. The class she most enjoys is global studies because “Even though it is confusing sometimes, it is still good to learn it. It is fun; we do fun things.” Social studies teacher Roxann Lewis stated, “Tiffany is on her way to becoming a great student. She is very conscientious about her learning and seeks extra help when she needs it. Tiffany has a very good attitude and often assists her classmates. She is a pleasure to work with.” Out of school, Tiffany likes playing with her little brother, collecting turtles, and being outside. In the future, she has plans to fix and work with electronics as a repair technician. When asked what advice she would give her fellow classmates Tiffany said, “Try. No matter how hard it gets, just try. Keep up the good work; it will get you somewhere.”

Anticipation Builds for Deer Opener
Deer hunters will soon head out to the fields and forests for the firearms deer opener that gets underway a halfhour before sunrise on Saturday, Nov. 7. Here are some other reminders from the DNR for the Minnesota firearms deer season. Check regulations: The DNR strongly advises hunters to review new deer hunting regulations, permit area designations and boundary changes. Find this and more deer hunting information from the DNR. Buy your license: With nearly 500,000 firearms deer hunters in the state, the DNR encourages hunters to purchase their licenses early to avoid long lines and any potential system issues associated with the high sales volume. License agents where you can buy a license are located across Minnesota. Changes in 2015 affect when licenses are valid if purchased after a season is open. A deer hunting license purchased after a season is open is valid the same day of purchase if purchased prior to the beginning of legal shooting hours. If the license is purchased after legal shooting hours have begun, then the license is valid the following day. Register deer: Deer must be registered within 48 hours after the deer was taken, before being processed and before

antlers are removed. Hunters can register deer they harvest by making a telephone call, using the Internet or bringing deer to a big-game registration station. Hunters need to provide accurate information when registering. Registering a deer as taken in a permit area different from where is was actually taken is a violation. Here are registration instructions for all methods. Registration is important because it provides data on harvest that’s used for management of deer populations.

help identify ditches that require a onerod (16.5-foot) buffer. • Phase III: In late winter 2016, the DNR will use the combined public water and ditch system data to produce preliminary buffer maps. Local governments such as cities, townships and soil and water conservation districts, will review the maps, take input from landowners, and provide comments to the DNR. • Phase IV: In summer 2016, the DNR will deliver integrated buffer maps to the Board of Water and Soil Resources, local soil and water conservation districts, and other local governments. The Board of Water and Soil Resources is responsible for the implementation process. There will be public engagement opportunities when the preliminary maps are available. The maps will help landowners identify whether they need to create a buffer and, if so, whether they need a 16.5-foot or 50-foot average buffer width. Local soil and water conservation districts will work directly with landowners and help them use the maps to create the right size buffer, or help the landowner select an alternative water quality practice in lieu of a buffer. Go to www.mndnr.gov/buffers to learn more about how the DNR is producing maps for the governor’s buffer initiative.
