students continued to write furiously as they looked on in disbelief.
The professor chuckled when he looked at the exam and wrote on it “Great job! 100%.”
The question: “What is courage?”
The student’s answer: “This is.”Every day, examples of courage are
all around us. These folks aren’t winning awards, getting their names in the news or resting on their laurels. They are running businesses and non-profit organizations, working in the trenches to go the extra mile for customers, and volunteering for causes in their communities. They face challenges and discouragements that threaten their financial and emotional futures. Yet they persevere.
Maxwell Maltz, author of “Psycho-Cybernetics,” offers this explanation: “We must have courage to bet on our ideas, to take calculated risks, and to act. Everyday living requires courage if life is to be effective and bring happiness.”
Courage is one of the themes of the recently released movie, “Joy,” the story of Joy Mangano, who invented the Miracle Mop and Huggable Hangers. She holds more than 100 patents for her inventions. She used her life savings and borrowed from family and friends to create the Miracle Mop. It took two long
Courage is an everyday virtue -By Harvey MackayStudents in a
philosophy class were anxiously awaiting the start of their final exam. The professor had warned them that it would be one of the most challenging tests they would ever take.
The teacher wrote one
question on the board and said, “This is your exam. You have one hour to complete it.”
One student scribbled something quickly and turned in his exam, casually walking out of the room. The other
years of working in supermarkets, talking to shoppers one at a time and working out of her bedroom. Her kids filled the orders.
“Whenever you start something new, in business or life, doubt comes easy but courage takes work,” Joy said.
“You must be brave and you must be strong to have the courage to keep going when you do experience the struggles of being an entrepreneur,” she added. “Even when I was able to move into a real office and have a warehouse, my support team stayed the same. I think a large part of my success came from my drive to bring something bigger into the world and to show my children that they could also accomplish their dreams, no matter the obstacles.”
More than 25 years ago, I wrote my first book, “Swim With the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive.” The book stayed on the New York Times bestseller list for over a year. Why? Because it inspired people to have the courage to take risks and trust their instincts. The Style ‘n Go

advice I offered then is just as relevant today.
Was I ever afraid that I would fail? Yes and no. Yes, because I didn’t want to be embarrassed or disappoint others at whatever I tried. No, because I had the courage to be confident in my ability to survive failure and celebrate success.
Dr. Charles Garfield, author of “Peak Performance,” tells the story of a very wealthy man who bought a ranch in Arizona and invited some of his closest associates to see it. After touring some of the 1,500 acres of mountains and rivers and grasslands, he took everyone to the house. The swimming pool was huge and full of alligators.
The rich owner said: “I value courage more than anything else. Courage is what made me a billionaire. In fact, I think that courage is such a powerful virtue that if anybody is courageous enough to jump into that pool, swim through those alligators and make it to the other side, I’ll give them anything they want – my house, my land, my money.”
Of course, everybody laughed at the absurd challenge and proceeded to follow the owner into the house for lunch when they suddenly heard a splash. Turning
Harvey Mackay continued from page 2 around they saw a man swimming for his life across the pool, as the alligators swarmed after him. After several death-defying seconds, the man made it to the other side, unharmed.
The rich host was absolutely amazed, but he stuck to his promise. He said, “You are indeed a man of courage. What do you want? You can have anything.”
The swimmer, breathing heavily, looked up at the host and said, “I just want to know one thing – who pushed me
into that pool?”Mackay’s Moral: It’s advantageous
to be courageous.Reprinted with permission from
nationally syndicated columnist Harvey Mackay, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller “Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive,” “We Got Fired!...And It’s the Best Thing That Ever Happened to Us,” “The Mackay MBA of Selling in the Real World,” and “Use Your Head To Get Your Foot In The Door.”

National Geographic Traveling Map program Visits Upsala Elementary
Upsala Elementary students visited South America last week. Kindergarteners through seventh grade students used a Gi-ant Map of South America to learn more about maps, geography and the countries of the fourth largest continent in the world.
The Giant Map program is part of the National Geographic Traveling Map pro-gram. The South American map is one of the world’s largest maps of the conti-nent and measures 35 feet by 26 feet and weighs 102 pounds. Teachers at Upsala used it in the South Gym where it cov-ered half of the basketball court. The kids thought it was cool!
“Even though people use electronic
devices to travel and locate information, map skills are still important,” commented Wanda Erickson, K-12 Media Specialist. “All of us need to understand geography even if we have a GPS or Siri. How many have wished they had a paper atlas in their vehicle from time to time,” she laughed.
Upsala students stocking-footed their way through the Andes and the Amazon up to the Panama Canal Thursday, Friday and Monday, January 28, 29 and February 1.
Third grade students at Upsala Ele-mentary located capitol cities in countries on the Giant Map of South America pro-vided by National Geographic.

University of Minnesota Extension will be holding two area workshops to address how to keep you dairy herd profitable in tough economic times and different strat-egizing options to look at. The first will be on Wednesday, March 2nd from 10:00 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Long Prairie City Hall. The second workshop will be held on Friday, March 4th at 1:00-3:30 pm at the Melrose City Offices. There is no charge to attend these workshops and coffee/cookies will be provided.
Based on milk futures, 2016 looks to be a challenging year for dairy profitability. Although feed costs have decreased, milk prices have decreased more. In 2015 cull cow and bull calf prices were high, buffer-ing the decreasing milk prices. These prices have also dropped to more average historic levels. Most economists are not predicting a collapse of milk prices like in 2009, but be-cause of higher costs many farmers will be below break-even levels. This trend of boom and bust years are likely to continue into the
Strategizing Options with Low Dairy Commodity Prices workshops
future. The best is to prepare for the bad times, when times are good. It is important to have a plan to survive when the prices are low, but it is also equally important to have a strategy to prepare for the next downturn when it occurs. This workshop will cover different ways to maximize profits in tough economic times in the dairy industry.
Regional Extension Dairy Specialist, Jim Salfer, will be presenting, as well as, a panel of local business partners (veterinar-ian, FBM, nutritionist, banker) to answer questions about how they can help you make it through the tough economic times.
If you have any questions about the event please contact Brenda Miller at the Todd County Extension Office at 320-533-4655, [email protected] or Sarah Roer-ick, MN Dairy Initiatives, at 320-761-5502, [email protected]

Terrence Smith, a professional musician and folk dance caller, came to Swanville Public School and shared his talents with the students on January 28-29 during the students’ physical education and music classes. Mr. Smith taught American folk dance that challenged them both physically and mentally. Mr. Smith had students demonstrate, practice and then carry out the new formations while he played instruments such as the banjo, guitar, harmonica and drum. Students were also encouraged to sing the words while they danced. Beside teaching folk dance, Mr. Smith stressed to the students the importance of respecting each other, doing your best and making our community a better place. This activity was funded through a grant that the Physical Education department obtained through the Minnesota State Department initiative “Lets Move In School.” Phy-ed teachers Marv Poegel and Sharon Pesta appreciated the students for their positive attitude. There was tremendous enthusiasm towards learning something new and working cooperatively with each other.

“I don’t want to die. Please don’t let me die,” he whispered in desperation. He was a world leader - loved by many, dreaded by some, questioned by others. He was a prominent figure on the world’s stage having great power and prestige, wealth and control that could not be de-nied. But in his final moments everything that he had or had accomplished could not extend the life of Hugo Chavez one mo-ment nor release him from his fear of dy-ing. David wrote of a life that could end this way. “Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold.”
Another man came to the end of his life who was also a world leader. His ré-
I don’t feel old. I don’t feel anything till noon. That’s when it’s time for my nap. -Bob Hope
Thought for the week:
sumé describes him as a ruler with great power and authority, vast wealth and owner of beautiful buildings, a soldier, a poet, one who cared deeply for others and was “a man after God’s own heart.” When he faced death he said, “When I walk through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid.”
Two different men, two different des-tinies because of two different choices. One lived his life with no fear of God. He sought fame and the favor of man. The other lived his life in fear of God and sought His favor, often His forgiveness but always His approval.
All of us have these same choices. We can live for ourselves, as Hugo Chavez did, seeking recognition and power and die in fear as he did. Or, we can choose to live for God as David did, serve Him faithfully with great love and passion and die as he did in peace.

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 num-bers 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.
Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson
Ballots for a child-care union-ization vote were mailed out last week by the state. Providers who cared for children receiving state child care assis-tance within the past year were supposed to be allowed to vote. However, it now appears that only
those providers who received state pay-ments in December were on the list of eligible voters. Ballots are due back to the Bureau of Mediation Services by the end of the month.
According to the legislative intent, nearly 2,400 providers should have been eligible to vote in the election, which has been controversial ever since the bill passed in 2013. With this new twist that only those who received payments in December are eligible, I’m not sure how many actual ballots were sent out. Even if all the original 2,400 had voted, that still represents only about one-third of all li-censed child-care providers in Minnesota. In other states where similar legislation has been passed, low voter turnout has been a factor.
I have visited with very few provid-ers in our district who are in favor of this unionization vote. It will, in all likelihood, raise costs for child care and result in those joining the union having to pay dues, which could run between $300 and $900 per year. If approved, AFSCME would be the bargaining unit. It doesn’t appear as if these workers would be eligible for ben-efits such as state health insurance.
It took nearly three years to get the necessary number of signatures to require this vote. I don’t see any benefit to hav-ing private businesses become part of a
public employee union. The cost for all child care will probably increase, and it may have the unintended consequence of lowering the number of providers who will accept children with the state subsidy. We are already facing severe shortages in child care, especially for infant children. And I fear this is just adding to the prob-lem of too many regulations placed on our providers.
Several legislators held a series of ag roundtables in Alexandria and Crookston last week. At the gathering in Alex, at the community and technical college, several instructors from the Adult Farm Business Management program gave updates. Ad-ditional funding provided by the Legisla-ture last year has enabled more instructors to be hired, which should help to alleviate the expected increased work load caused by the declining farm economy. Bill Ja-nuszewski, who heads the program in Alex, told those in attendance, “The farm crisis is coming.” He went on to say that it’s difficult to come up with cash flows for the coming year that show any kind of profit. He mentioned that dairy, with milk prices in the $15 range, is showing espe-cially tight margins and in many cases, projections of an actual loss in 2016.
We also received an update from the Minnesota Board of Animal Health on the Avian Flu that ravaged our turkey flocks last year. Over 100 farms were hit, result-ing in the loss of over nine million birds. State officials feel they are better prepared if another outbreak should hit this spring. A major expansion of the poultry testing lab in Willmar is expected to be complet-ed by August, which will allow testing for the disease to be done on site in Willmar, instead of samples having to be sent to St. Paul.

The ChurchThe old
country church was an extremely important hub of life in the past. The church had a big influence on our involvement with others in the community. As a child we were encouraged to play with children
of the same faith. As we began to date and look for a spouse, the church was again used to encourage us in our choices.
Our church was built sometime around 1880. It consisted of almost exclusively German immigrants. There was a lot of encouragement to abide by the strict rules of the church. A fair amount of “thou shalt not” and this is “most certainly true.”
There was a definite seating arrangement. The men sat on the right as you walked into the church and the ladies sat in the benches on the left. It was strongly encouraged that you attend church whenever any service or occasion was being held at the church. There were also places on the benches where you were expected to be. This made it easier for those in attendance to notice if someone was absent.
Clothing worn at the church was also important. The ladies wore some form of covering on their heads and a dress was required. The men wore a wool suit, a vest and a tie. Many of the older men either wore a white shirt, which had been yellowed with age, or a flannel shirt. This
“The Good Old Days” -By Tom Kuehneattire was worn both winter and summer. Of course deodorant was for the women, so the men in the warm wool suits during the summer months, were usually standing a step away from those with whom they were talking.
Remember, a church occasion also included a pot-luck summer picnic, which always seemed to be on a 90 degree day.
The organ was an old pump organ which required very hard and continuous leg work from the lady playing the organ. The sound was very different from the modern organs. In some of the old movies there is an old organ used during the church service. A different, but familiar sound. It brings back memories.
A special memory is the trip home from church. After I was confirmed, I was allowed to ride back home with Uncle Hugo in his late 30s model Chev. It was memorable due to several factors. First the road was narrow, very dusty and 5 miles long. The heater in the car never seemed to work in the winter. The car seemed to suck dust into the interior. My Grandfather, Pa, sat in front with Uncle Hugo and my grandmother, Ma, and I sat in the back seat. The drive home on Sunday required that Pa and Uncle Hugo each light up, what had to be, the strongest smelling cigars. The smoke turned the air in the car from a brown color to a mixture of brown overpowered by a strong gray color. One didn’t roll the window down because it would create a vacuum which brought even more dust into the car. You didn’t complain to your elders regarding their actions, since that wasn’t acceptable. We were really glad to get home.

Dave Says -By Dave RamseyDear Dave,
I have two small duplexes in Idaho that I rent for $400 a month, each on one-year leases. The rent is about $50 to $75 below similar units in the area. The tenants in all four places are great, so how do you know when—or if—you should raise the rent? If you raise the rent, how do you keep good relationships with your tenants?
-TeresaDear Teresa,
My advice with rental properties is to raise the rent a little bit each year. You want to be fair and affordable for your tenants, but you don’t want them thinking the rate is locked in forever. As a business owner, if you don’t have small, manageable increases on a regular basis, you’ll look up in four or five years and realize you’re losing money because your rent is way below market value. Then, if you implement a big rate hike out of nowhere your tenants will have a fit. After that, you could be looking at empty properties.
When it comes time to renew the leases, try explaining to them that you’ve looked around in the market and other very comparable units are going for $450 or more, but that you appreciate them and what good tenants they are. Then, propose signing the new lease at $410 or $420. Don’t raise it to full market value. In most cases, this kind of approach will keep both parties happy.
As a landlord, you’ll be able to retain quality tenants and make more money. As a renter, you’ll have the comfort of knowing you rent isn’t going to suddenly jump sky-high. It’s a win-win!

Dear Dave,I work an
extra job part-time for a retail store chain while I’m getting out of debt. I like my job, except for having to pitch the store’s credit card to customers. Like you, I believe debt is a bad thing. Still, my bosses are putting more
and more pressure on me to sell the cards. It’s been bothering me a lot lately, and I was wondering if you have any advice for my ethical dilemma?
-EvetteDear Evette,
If you’ve been in the business for very long, I guess you’ve discovered that most retail stores make more money on credit than the sale of merchandise. In my mind, you’ve got two types of integrity that are pulling at you. Your personal integrity wants you to do a good job for yourself and your employer, but it’s also telling you that credit cards are bad products. That makes you feel like you’ve signed up to sell something that you don’t believe in.
You wouldn’t want someone working for you who wouldn’t follow your instructions, and I wouldn’t want someone working for me who doesn’t believe in what they’ve been hired to do. For the sake of your own integrity, I would suggest that you find another part-time job. If you feel this strongly about the issue, sooner or later it will start to affect your performance and attitude—both at work and at home.
Hang on long enough to land another job before you quit. Then, be professional when you turn in your notice. Despite what lots of people say these days, there are plenty of part-time jobs out there!

February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, a month used to raise awareness about abuse in teen and early 20’s relationships. Abuse in young dat-ing relationships is more common than we would think, and unfortunately most often becomes a lasting behavior in that relation-ship. Statistics tell us that one in three teen relationships are marred with abuse. The theme for 2016 is “Love=Setting Boundar-ies,” because boundaries are an important part of every healthy relationship. It’s a rather long theme, but the message is very true.
There is a serious lack of understanding of what constitutes abuse in teen dating re-lationships, not only by the teen but also by many parents. This is something that needs to change, as knowledge is power, and in this case can be the difference between life and death, or an entire lifetime of abuse and pain. The long lasting effects of abuse on a teen, such as substance abuse, eating disor-ders, suicide attempts, and often times risky sexual behavior, often resulting in pregnan-cy, can be devastating not only for the teens involved, but for the entire family as well.
Healthy relationships consist of respect, support and reassurance, compromise, good communication and unconditional love, and setting boundaries for oneself and respect for those boundaries. The really important thing to remember about all of these com-ponents, is that they need to be recognized by both partners in the relationship. As par-ents, we can encourage and support these behaviors and mindsets, but most of all, it’s our position to set a good example, as that is most often what young folks use as a guide for their future relationships.
An abusive relationship could consist of monitoring your texting, Facebook and emails, taking your money without your permission, yelling at you insulting and hu-miliating you, hair pulling, hitting, posses-siveness, and alienating you from friends and family. There is a power and control wheel just for teen dating violence that is assessable on www.loveisrespect.org.
If you are a teen whose concerned about your relationship, there is an excel-lent website that is focused on healthy re-lationships for teens, that is www.loveis-respect.org or you can contact Hands Of Hope Resource Center and speak to an ad-vocate, (anonymously if preferred), totally confidential and free at 320-732-2319 or on the web at www.handsofhope.net, or in our new location in Long Prairie at 347 Central Ave. in the Main Street Government Center, Monday-Friday, from 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Grey Eagle UMC Begins Lenten JourneyBy Pastor Gary Taylor
Catholics and many Protestant denom-inations follow a calendar with six seasons: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Eas-ter, and Pentecost. Lent is a 40 day period of personal reflection, confession of sins to God, receiving God’s forgiveness, and sometimes fasting. This 40 day period be-gins on Ash Wednesday, February 10 this year, and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter.
If you are curious and add up all the days between Ash Wednesday and Eas-ter Sunday you will come up with 46. So, what’s up with that? Well, the Sundays don’t count in the 40 day period of fast-ing. Every Sunday throughout the year is considered a “mini-Easter” since Jesus was resurrected on Sunday. It is a day of cel-ebration, not fasting.
Grey Eagle United Methodist Church and Pastor Gary Taylor are embarking on a 10 part sermon series called “Ten Tough Topics” during Lent. The ten topics are: Evil, Religion & Science, Other Religions, Evangelism & Tolerance, God of the Old Testament, Jesus & Christianity, Resur-rection, the Gnostic Gospels, Sins of the Church, and Forgiveness. The series started on Sunday, February 14 and includes our Wednesday night service through March 16. Worship times are 9 AM on Sundays and 7:30 PM on Wednesdays.
Lent at Grey Eagle UMC includes Palm Sunday, March 20, when the youth
and children of the church process through the church and distribute palm branches to the congregation. Grey Eagle UMC will also celebrate Maundy Thursday, March 24, with an Agape Supper. Several members of the church put on this special service as we share a meal that represents a Seder Meal and share the Lord’s Supper, also known as Communion or Eucharist. The service be-gins at 5:30 PM and all are welcome.
Good Friday Worship on March 25 is shared with Peace United Church in Long Prairie and begins at 7 PM.
Grey Eagle UMC is located at 30422 County Road 2, Grey Eagle, MN. We are a certified welcoming congregation in the United Methodist Church. The people of Grey Eagle UMC are growing in faith, open to all people inviting them to know Jesus Christ, and going out to serve God by serv-ing others. Grey Eagle UMC – Growing Love & Faith, Serving Neighbors.
The Grey Eagle Senior Center is plan-ning a February Pot Luck/Bingo Party for Wednesday, February 24 at 12:00 noon, (please note the change in time). Anyone who is 55 years of age or older is invited to attend. Please bring a dish to share.
