The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that a college graduate earns nearly $1 million more over a career than a high-school graduate. Nido insists that education is more than a paycheck. He said: “When you get educated, you can become your best self in every possible way. Educated employees become partners. They see themselves as part of the organization. They share its goals, buy into its vision and exult in its success.” I will go one further than Nido Qubein. That is that school ends, but education doesn’t. You are not in school once for a lifetime. You should be in school all your life. Education is the movement from darkness to light. The person who knows how to read, yet doesn’t read, is no different from the person who can’t read. As you can tell, I’m a big believer in lifelongTherelearning.isa famous story about Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., one of America's most distinguished Supreme Court Justices. Holmes was in the hospital when he was more than 90 years old, and President Theodore Roosevelt came to visit him. As the President was ushered into the hospital room, there was Justice Holmes reading a book of Greek grammar. President Roosevelt asked, “Why are you reading about Greek grammar, Mr. Holmes?” And Holmes replied, “To improve my mind, Mr. President.” Ninety and still trying to learn something new!

Why not make continuing education a new priority?Education is an investment and never an expense. Consider education a capital improvement. Don’t be ashamed to borrow, particularly to replenish your professional inventory. In fact, self-improvement is the one area in which you should really increase your spending, not decrease it. Please don’t misinterpret these words as pertaining only to a college education. Any education – in the trades, self-guided or purely for a change of pace – is a critical part of our ongoing development. Studies have shown that we use a very small part of our brains, so there is plenty of room for more learning. Don’t cheat yourself out of any opportunity. Take courses, either in a classroom or online. Go to seminars. Listen to educational and self-improvement podcasts. Network at trade group meetings. Upgrade your skills. You cannot ever afford to rest on what you learned in high school or college. Enhance what you already know and pick up new material. Computers. Language. Public speaking. Writing. Continue your Thinkeducation.about it – once you have learned something, it’s yours to keep forever – and use however you wish. You have the capacity to adapt knowledge to various situations, to apply what you have learned and improve an outcome. Your education can pay for itself over and over. It truly is a gift, perhaps one of the best gifts you can give yourself. Be generous with yourself!An anxious mother was questioning Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

A father said to his son, “I’m worried about your being at the bottom of the class.” The son responded, “Don’t worry, dad, they teach the same stuff at both ends.” A wise sage once told me, “Education is what you have left over after you have forgotten everything you’ve learned.” My good friend Nido Qubein, a fellow member of the National Speakers Association and president of High Point University, explained the difference in education vs. training, as he views it: “Training is imitative; education is creative. The difference between a trained person and an educated person is the difference between a parrot and an orator.” His point was that once you learn a training procedure, you keep repeating it for as long as the task is useful. Training has a beginning and an end. Education, on the other hand, teaches you to develop your own procedures, solve your own problems and move on to other challenges. Education is a process that has a beginning, but no end.Nido added: “In today’s business world, a well-educated person is far more valuable than a well-trained person. Employees who are welltrained but not well-educated may perform their tasks with skill, but they aren’t motivated to look

concentrated their efforts on industrialization and manufacturing and as a result were not as favorable to slave ownership. The southern states concentrated on agriculture, which created a need for more manual labor, thereby developing a need and desire for slave ownership.There was a big difference of opinion between the northern and the southern states. It became so heated that 7 states on the southern east coast organized as the Confederate States of America, declaring their independence from the rest of the United States. They created an army to protect their new “country” and if needed, confront the United States with military action. It didn't take long before the Confederate Army attacked and occupied Fort Sumter, which gave the Northern States a reason to believe that the Confederates were causing trouble and needed to be dealt with. The early part of the Civil War was controlled by the South, but as the war progressed, the North was able to recruit more soldiers and use their industrial strength to over-power the South. We were again the United States of America.

Today we have large numbers of people that feel we need to make reparations to the slave families for their ancestors having been slaves in this country. How many generations have passed since slavery was abolished. How many of our ancestors immigrated to this country from Europe having not owned slaves in the old country and not owning slaves in this country. Again, how many generations have passed.We today realize that treatment of the slaves was, at best, very cruel and unfair, but 5-9 PM Prime Rib $22.95 Ribs $18.95 Fried Walleye Sweet Chili Wild w/BreadsticksRice,$12.95 3-9 PM Steak & Shrimp $19.95 10 oz.

destruction of cities and statues and blocking freeways certainly doesn't make better what happened 150 years ago. There is a great deal of anger pent up in a portion of our society. Is the anger based on actual present day experience or is it indoctrinated by individuals that want this country to destroy itself. There are good things in our country, let's concentrate on them!

Contrary to claims by some political groups in this country, slavery existed and was considered an acceptable practice world-wide for at least 5000 years. Going back to the Old Testament, we find that a country defeated in a battle, would have many of their citizens become slaves in the victors country. The slaves frequently performed work that was physically demanding such as construction, crop harvesting, house keeping and personal favors for those that owned them. The slaves, because of their physical contributions, were bought and sold as we buy and sellWhenmachinery.longerdistance ocean ships became more common, many slaves were transported from Africa to Europe. When America became more populated, many of the African slaves were brought to the southern United States and the Caribbean Islands. These slaves were captured by slave traders and sold to the ship owners when they arrived. They were then transported across the ocean to this country. There was a need for extra help in the sugar cane and cotton fields. Many man hours were required to produce these crops and there wasn't enough European immigrants to fill the laborAsneeds.theUS became more organized many states along the east coast were created. These states were quite different as one traveled from north to south. The northern states

Kevin Theis, age 64, passed away peacefully at CentraCare Nursing Home in Sauk Centre, MN with family by his side, on August 31, 2022. A Celebration of Life was willinatSeptemberWednesday,held14,2022,St.Paul’sCatholicSaukCentre,MN.Burialservicebeheldon11:30 a.m. Saturday, October 1, 2022 at St Mary’s of Marystown Catholic Cemetery in Marystown, Minnesota at 15850 Marystown Road. Visitation will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m. with a meal to follow. Kevin's remains will be laid to rest in the family plot next to his parents. Kevin Anthony Theis was born on October 1, 1957 in San Antonio, Texas. Kevin was the 9th of 13 children born to Raymond and Gertrude (Worm) Theis. He was adored by his siblings and parents.Kevin was an avid sports fan and weather enthusiast. He was a Special Olympics competitor from the age of 17, participating in a wide range of sports competitions, including his life-long favorite: bowling. Kevin received many local, state and national ribbons, medals and trophies in Arizona Special Olympics and Minnesota Special Olympics.Kevin started school in Sauk Centre but received a variety of training in other states before completing formal schooling while in Prescott, Arizona in 1978. He enjoyed several employment positions since then. Kevin and his parents moved back to Sauk Centre in 1985, where he worked briefly for family members, but thoroughly loved his job at Cabinet Components until his retirement. As much as Kevin loved sports and weather, he loved people. Whether he greeted you as you came into work or met him in public, you would be sure to see his face light up with recognition and joy. That big smiley face lasted even into his days in the nursing home. Kevin will be greatly missed by his family, friends and all who were blessed to meet him.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey temptation. Another issue is many places like this hit you with a fee when you pay off the card. They’ll fee you to death on other things, too, if you’re not careful, until you end up wishing you’d never even seen the place. If it were me, I’d just talk to the owner again and let him know I’m taking my business elsewhere unless he discounts the furniture 15% on a cash purchase. There’s no way I’d take out a stupid credit card for a place like that whether I had the cash on hand or not!-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.

Dear Motor Medics, I listen to your show faithfully and would like your advice concerning my 1991 Silverado with a 350 V8 and automatic transmission. My truck has been sort of hovering in one gear longer than normal and reving up very high before shifting into the next gear much harder than usual. Another issue is when I shift from neutral to drive it engages very hard. I checked the transmission fluid, and it was a little low but bright red and I’m wondering if anything else simple could be the problem. Also, one more symptom is that when I'm coasting my torque converter is slipping and feels as though I'm in neutral because the engine just revs and only feel a pull of the motor once my RPM's match my speed. I’ve learned a lot from your advice. -Dave in Canton, Texas Dear Dave, I think I have an idea that you can do at home yourself. In older GM vehicles before days of electronic shift control there was a cable running from the throttle body down to the transmission. This cable was used to change the internal pressure of the transmission to improve performance and longevity. When under heavy throttle the transmission needs more pressure, so the clutches won’t slip and under light throttle less pressure for a smooth shift. It sounds like your cable is out of adjustment. Follow the service manual procedures for adjustment and hopefully your problem will be solved. -Take care, the Motor Medics Dear Motor Medics, I have a question about my door chime. It’s so loud it is about to drive me out of the car. It’s a 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. I have 90,000 miles on the car and as long as I remember it has been this loud. The chime seems to come from the driver’s side door speaker. Is that where it comes from or is there a separate speaker in there for the chime. Is there a way to adjust the volume on the speaker like a radio or a way to disconnect it so I don’t go crazy? Any help you can provide would be greatly-Danielleappreciated.inManhattan, Kansas Dear Danielle, We’re sorry your car is so uncomfortable, but we may have a fix for you. You are correct in thinking the chime comes from the driver’s door speaker. The door chime is fed into the radio by the body control module and can override the radio in order to warn you when needed. As the operator of the vehicle there is no way that you can adjust the volume, but the professionals can do it fairly easily. There should be a reprogram option available from dealers and service providers who have a factory type programing system that will cut the volume of the chime considerably and make it more driver friendly. The procedure takes about 30 minutes to perform and should not break the budget. Thanks for the question. Take care, the Motor Medics For entertainment only. Always consult your local shop and follow all safety procedures before repairs. Come visit the Motor Medics® online at Underthehoodshow. com.

Dear Dave, My wife and I just bought a new home, and we only need one or two more things to furnish the living room. Over the weekend, we found a couch and love seat set we both like for $3,000. The owner of the store said he would take 15% off the price if we get a store credit card and pay for it that way. We are in pretty good financial shape, and can afford to pay cash for the furniture, but what do you think about the idea of taking advantage of the 15% off offer, then paying off the card immediately and closing the account?
-Jackson Dear Jackson, Playing with snakes is always a bad idea. Sooner or later, you’re going to get bitten. Everyone thinks they’re the exception to the rule, or they’re somehow winning or getting rich by doing stuff like this. It doesn’t work that way. So, stop playing around with debt products. This guy’s just trying to hook you and make more money. Your idea might sound good on the surface to a lot of folks, but the problem is the vast majority of those same people don’t have the discipline to follow through on a plan like this.
