• Tony’s All Star team of financial experts is jaw-dropping. They include David Swensen, “the rock star of institutional investing . . . who grew Yale University’s endowment from $1 billion to more than $23.9 billion in less than two decades.” Then there’s Mary Callahan Erdoes who “oversees more than $2.5 trillion as CEO of J.P. Morgan Asset Management.” She offers families some very sage advice about asset allocation, the delicate balancing act of not stacking all your investment nest eggs in one basket. And we hear from Carl Icahn, one of the world’s most successful investors the last 25 years.

Money, the game...with 7 simple steps to win it -By Harvey MackayW i t h

the possible exception of what the Treasury Department turns out, MONEY Master the Game – Tony Robbins’ new book – may be the most valuable stuff in print. It’s absolutely jammed with

advice you can take all the way to the bank.

Tony boils his message down to “7 simple steps to financial freedom.” I, in turn, have 7 compelling reasons, why you absolutely have to sink your teeth into MONEY cover-to-cover:

• Tony’s stories sing. For Tony, caring and giving are properly the most powerful urges to build financial stability in the first place. When Tony was 11, a stranger saved Thanksgiving Day by appearing like magic on his family’s front door with bags chock full of groceries. At 17, “working nights as a janitor,” Tony spent Turkey Day treating

mice used in the great 401 (k) retirement experiment.’” How about this sobering o b s e r v a t i o n ? “There’s a 50% chance that, among married couples, at least one spouse will live to the age of 92 and a 25% chance that one will live to 97.” The longer we live, the more knowledge we acquire. But, knowledge isn’t power until we put it to work. “Knowledge is not mastery. Execution is mastery,” Tony declares, “execution will trump knowledge every day of the week.”

• Commonplace conclusions are always out of place. How do you get started? Tony recommends asking yourself: “What’s the price of your dreams?” On money matters, Tony stresses, “We’ve been taught to think, ‘This is too complex’ or ‘This is not my field.’” Tony is intent on making you an

insider. His mission is for you to “know the rules before you get in the game.” Tony has some attention-getting contentions: “You’ll learn why chasing returns never works [and] why nobody beats the market long-term. . .” He’ll also equip you with some energizing skills that really work: “You’ll . . . learn about a proven way of growing your money with 100% principal protection, and tax free to boot (IRS-approved).”

• Tony’s candor is unflinching. There’s no substitute for experience, and you have to be prepared to acquire it no matter what age you are. Tony points to the sobering setback all adults have likely tasted: being on the losing end of a video game with a youngster. “So why do these kids always win? Is it because they have better reflexes? Is it because they’re faster? No! It’s because they’ve played the game before.”

• MONEY is tool rich. There are quick links to sites that help you do fast self-assessment and actually design a

workable plan. Not all of this is easy, but every inch of it is clear.

• Constructive Advice is the heart of Tony’s message. MONEY combs the complex wilderness and etches expert maps to guide you. But you still need to be able to size up talent. As Tony says, “not all professionals have equal skill or experience.”

Tony Robbins is the hands-down master of behavioral breakthroughs. As he maintains, “I’m not a positive-thinking coach. Quite the opposite: I’m a prepare-for-anything coach.” Bottom-line: You’ll not find a better heads-up map.

Mackay’s Moral: When it comes to money, get the sense right and the dollars are sure to follow.

Lorraine A. WenkerL o r r a i n e

A. Wenker, age 86, of Melrose, died peacefully on Monday, September 28, 2015, at home with her husband, Ray, nearby.

A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial was held at 10 a.m. Saturday, October 3 at St. Mary’s Catholic

Church in Melrose. Rev. Marvin Enneking officiated. Inurnment was in the parish cemetery.

Lorraine Adeline Klasen was born August 4, 1929, in Millwood Township, Stearns County, Minnesota to Ben and Theresa (Engelmeyer) Klasen. On August 20, 1951, she married Raymond “Ray” Wenker at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church in St. Rosa. Lorraine and Ray farmed near Westport in Ashley Township for 56 years. They were members of the Church of Saint Anthony of Padua and Lorraine was a member of the Christian Mothers Association throughout her time with the parish.

Lorraine enjoyed spending as much time outdoors as possible. She was the happiest when she was outside and especially enjoyed helping with the daily tasks of farm life: fieldwork, chores, operating farm equipment, and caring for her vegetable and flower gardens. She always made unexpected guests feel welcome and could prepare a delicious meal at a moment’s notice. She enjoyed reading and would often read recipe books for fun.

In her earlier years, she sewed most of the clothing for her growing children. Lorraine learned how to knit and crochet. Crocheting soon became her specialty. In addition to bedspreads, draperies, tablecloths, afghans, and doilies, she crocheted Baptismal gowns and Holy Communion gowns for grandchildren, and even a business suit for a daughter. Thinking ahead, she also crocheted a bridal gown for any future weddings. Over the years, she generously gifted hundreds of handcrafted items to her family and friends.

After retirement, the couple moved to

Melrose and became members of St. Mary’s Catholic Church. During her retirement and up until the day she passed, she watched televised daily Mass, continued her crocheting projects, cooked and preserved food for herself and Ray, and learned to use an iPad. She was thrilled to use it to play a game of cards whenever she liked. She especially enjoyed visits from her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. A highlight of the visits would usually include playing a few rounds of the Sequence board game.

Throughout Lorraine’s life, she was a hard-working person of strong faith and perseverance. Despite her physical hardships, she remained self-disciplined and diligent in maintaining the health and well-being of herself and her family.

Lorraine will be missed by all those whose lives she touched but will always be near because of the love we have for her. We are proud of her for completing her life’s journey and receiving her prize.

Loved ones left behind include her husband, Ray Wenker of Melrose. Children: Wayne Wenker of Eden Prairie; Judy (Jon) Jakubov of Maize, Kansas; Rose (David) Merten of Manitowoc, Wisconsin; Myrina (Don) Kleinschmidt of Orono; and Ted (Liliana Hidalgo) Wenker of Wexford, Ireland. Ten grandchildren: Ryan, Mathew, Angela, Jordan, Benjamin, Jacob, Samuel, Isaac, Michaela, and Sarah. Three great-grandchildren: Ava, Ryder, and Ethan. Sisters: Janet (Marvin) Notch of Melrose and Mildred “Millie” (Virgil) Beuning of Key Stone Heights, Florida.

Lorraine was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, John Klasen and Richard Klasen; and sister, Irene Kerfeld.

Serving as urn bearer was Ryan Jakubov. Cross bearer was Sarah Kleinschmidt and scripture bearer was Angela Dolan. Honorary bearers were Ben Merten Sam Merten, Isaac Merten, Jordan Jakubov and Mathew Jakubov. The eulogy was read by Chad Dolan and gift bearers were Ben Merten, Sam Merten, and Isaac Merten. Serving as lector was Mathew Jakubov and reading the petitions was Jordan Jakubov.

Arrangements were made with Patton-Schad Funeral & Cremation Services of Melrose.

Bertha M. BesnettBertha M.

“Berdie” Besnett, age 95 of Melrose, died peacefully on Thursday, October 1, 2015 in Pine Haven at the CentraCare Nursing Home in Melrose, Minnesota.

A funeral service was held at 11 a.m. Monday,

October 5 at the United Methodist Church in Grey Eagle with Rev. Gary Taylor officiating. Interment will be at Moses Dane Cemetery in Burtrum.

Bertha Marie Berens was born September 30, 1920 on the farm in Grey Eagle Township, Todd County, Minnesota to John and Katherine (Sinderman) Berens. She went to the old Burtrum School through the 12th grade. Shortly after completing her education she married Leonard Rahn on October 12, 1940 at the Lutheran Church in Swanville, MN. Leonard and Bertha divorced and Bertha moved to the Twin Cities. She married Leonard Besnett on September 30, 1954 in Decora, Iowa.

Meanwhile, she continued to work for Honeywell on an assembly line making airline parts for 35 years. After retiring she moved to Melrose where she enjoyed walking, fishing, crocheting, volunteering at the American Legion, and going to Kenny and Joan’s on Sundays for chicken dinner. Bertha loved to surround herself with people and maintaining a strong relationship with her family and friends.

Survivors include her son, Kenny (Joan) Rahn of Burtrum; grandchildren, Cathy (Joe) Lyon of Holdingford, David (Lisa) Rahn of Melrose, Jean (Bob) Frieler of Seattle, WA, and Danny “Bubba” (Nancy) Rahn of Melrose; sister, Rose (Forrest) Johnson of Burtrum; eight great-grandchildren; and seven great-great-grandchildren

Bertha was preceded in death by her parents; husbands, Leonard Rahn and Leonard Besnett; and sisters, Martha (Verner) Swanson and Theresa (Herman) Marty.

She was brought up in the Zion Reform Church in Freeport, IL and was a devoted follower of Jesus Christ as she loved and served people all of her life. Gertie was a professional woman and gave her life to her work camp and students. When she retired she was invited to live in a cottage on the Camp Good News grounds in Forestdale, MA.

As a victim of Alzheimer’s, her friends notified her family that she needed to be closer to them. She thus returned to the Midwest to reside with her brother Calvin and wife Suzanne in Upsala, MN in 2006. After five years, Gertie needed more care and moved to Harmony House, a residence for people with Dementia. She was under Hospice care when she passed on.

Gertie was preceded in death by parents, Edwin and Lauretta Wunsch; older brother Elwood; nephews, John and Herb Wunsch; niece Sharon Wunsch.

Gertie is survived by a brother, Calvin (Suzanne) Wunsch of Upsala, MN; niece, Margaret Wunsch of Milwaukee, WI; nephew, Dennis Wunsch of Bothell, WA.

Dave Says -By Dave RamseyYou never know what might happen,

and asking Him for help is never a bad idea. Who knows? He might even start dating some strong, mature young woman who’ll jerk a knot in his tail and straighten him up!

-DaveDear Dave,

Our family has an account at a movie rental store. I rented a movie the other day, and forgot to take it back on time. The late fees add up to $20. I’m in college and have a part-time job, so my parents think I should pay the late fees. They started the account, so shouldn’t they have to pay the fees?

-AngieDear Angie,

Technically, I’m sure your parents are responsible for the account. But think about this. You’re the one who rented the movie and forgot to take it back on time. If you have a job and access to money, I think you should be the one to make things right.

Chalk this one up as a learning experience, Angie. If you’re grown up enough to be in college and have a job, then you’re grown up enough to start cleaning up your own messes. That’s the way life works. It doesn’t mean that your parents don’t love you. In fact, it means that they love you enough to teach you a valuable lesson in responsibility!

Dear Dave,I’m having

issues with my youngest brother, and I need some advice. He’s 25, divorced and has two kids. He only wants to play dad when it’s convenient for him, and he’s very i r r e s p o n s i b l e with money as

well. Our parents passed away a few years ago, so this leaves me to be the big brother and dad at the same time. I worry about him, but I’m not sure how to help him grow up. Any advice?

-JeremyDear Jeremy,

One of the bad things about these situations is watching people you love do stupid things to themselves and the people around them. And I don’t know that there’s really a lot you can do without becoming the enemy to some degree. You can always try to hold him to a higher standard and refuse to tolerate immature, irresponsible behavior when you’re around him. You might even look for opportunities to use yourself as an example. Point out areas in your life where you made mistakes in the past and how you fixed the problems. But to go out and directly intervene in his life, trying to force him to be a man, would be a tough thing to pull off.

When I help people on my show, I have the benefit of them calling in and actually looking to me for help. These people actually care about what I think. I don’t just walk up to folks and say, “You know, what you’re doing there is really stupid. Let me fix you.” I think that’s kind of the situation you’re in right now. I would also begin to pray for him, and ask God to bring people into his life who will have a positive impact.

“People do not learn from mis-takes,” said the professor. The class was confused. Most of them had been taught all of their lives that the best way to learn was from one’s mistakes.

As he looked into their puzzled faces, he continued his lecture by ask-ing a question, “How many of you have made the same mistake twice?” Hands went up all over the classroom. “That is precisely my point. If we learned from our mistakes, we would never make the same mistake twice. We seem to learn best when someone provides us feed-back. We are not honest enough with ourselves to point out our own mistakes or failures. We do not want to admit them - especially to ourselves even if we

One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present. -Golda Meir

Thought for the week:

recognize them.”The author of this Psalm recalled

two important facts: When the Israel-ites acknowledged God as their leader and followed Him, they were victori-ous. “Our fathers advised us,” they said, “that it was not our swords or plans that brought victory.” God spoke to them and they realized what brought about their defeat: they trusted in their own strength! It was their defeat that caused them to be open to God’s “feedback.”

When “we pushed back our enemies in Your name,” he continued, “we tram-pled on our foes!” What a testimony to the power and victory that is available to us through our God!

Like Israel, we must come to the same conclusion and make the same confession with the same amount of conviction: “In Your name, Heavenly Father, we can trample on our foes.” If we have fallen into sin and need forgive-ness, if we have failed to witness to those around us who have not experienced God’s saving grace through Christ, if we have failed to do what God expects us to do - with Him we can “trample our foes!”

MnDOT urges motorist, pedestrian safe-ty

The death of a St. Paul woman in a pedestrian crash last week is a remind-er that as the days get shorter and the nights longer, motorists and pedestrians should watch out for one another. The fall months are the deadliest months for pedestrians, according to the Minnesota Department of Transportation.

Last year, 17 pedestrians were killed and 837 were injured. This year so far, 23 pedestrians were killed and 655 were injured.

“With more hours of darkness in the fall, pedestrians are more difficult to see,” said Sue Groth, MnDOT state traf-fic engineer. “Motorists and pedestrians are equally at fault when we look at our crash data. That means that both groups need to know and obey the laws.”

The crosswalk law includes these highlights:

• Motorists should stop for crossing pedestrians at marked crosswalks and at all intersections without crosswalks or stop lights.

Fall is Deadliest Time for Pedestrians• Pedestrians must obey traffic signs

and signals at all intersections that have them.

• Vehicles stopped for pedestrians can proceed once the pedestrian has completely crossed the lane in front of the stopped vehicle.

• Pedestrians shouldn’t enter a cross-walk if a vehicle is approaching and it is impossible for the driver to stop. There is no defined distance that a pedestrian must abide by before entering the cross-walk; common sense should be used.

For the full crosswalk law, go to: www.mndot.gov/sharetheroad/ped/crosswalklaw.html

Because the sun rises later and sets earlier, there are more pedestrians before and after daylight hours, increasing the risk of crashes. Children are going to or getting out of school or walking to their bus stop, and adults are walking to or home from work.

About 30 percent of pedestrian crashes happen during the weekday rush hour driving time, defined as 6 to 9 a.m. and 3 to 6 p.m. One out of every four pe-destrian fatal crashes occurred between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m.

Male pedestrians are more likely than females to be killed or injured. Males accounted for 76 percent of all pedestrian fatalities and 52 percent of all injuries in 2014.

The most cited contributing factors to all pedestrian crashes is driver failure to yield and driver distraction or inatten-tion.

Assistant Majority Leader Rep. Ron Kresha, R-Little Falls, was presented with the “4-Star Legislator” award by Parent Aware for School Readiness (PASR) recently for his work on early education and focus on the state’s most vulnerable children. Kresha was the chief author of an early education schol-arship proposal last session, and has been an outspoken advocate for early education efforts that aim to close the achievement gap by targeting resources toward vulnerable and at-risk children.

“I’m humbled and grateful to re-ceive this recognition from Parent Aware, and plan to continue doing what I can do ensure that our education sys-tem is lifting up the students who need it most,” Kresha said. “Parent Aware has played a valuable role in shaping the

discussion around early education in this state, and I hope they will continue to engage policy-makers and discuss ideas for how we can make progress on clos-ing the achievement gap.”

The 4-Star Legislator Awards were presented to a bipartisan group of leg-islators who have advocated for early learning efforts targeted at vulnerable children. House Speaker Rep. Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, Minority Leader Rep. Paul Thissen, DFL-Minneapolis, and Rep. Jenifer Loon, R-Eden Prairie, were among those recognized by Parent Aware for School Readiness.

According to their website, PASR is a non-profit group “dedicated to improv-ing the school readiness of Minnesota children, especially those most at risk.”

Letter to the EditorTo submit a Letter to the Editor, email to [email protected]

By Evelyn A Guggisberg, GlenwoodDear Editor:

October is considered Respect for Life month by at least some people. MCCL (Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life) statistics claim that 79% of Americans do not support the current abortion on demand policy & that 78% believe that women who do have abor-tions commonly experience severe neg-ative emotional reactions.

Scripture in Psalm 127 tells us that “Children are a gift from the Lord, the fruit of the womb, a reward.” Doesn’t this beg the question then, “Why do women have abortions?” When our so-ciety was being sold the idea that abor-tion needed to be made legal, rape & incest became the excuse given. How many people even realize that only 2% of women seeking abortions became pregnant as a result of rape or incest?

When the twin towers came down due to terrorism & over 3000 people died as a result, I don’t believe anyone found that acceptable (except for the ter-rorists). Yet statistics from MCCL tell us that we lose 2900 babies to abortion every day in our country. It seems as if we accept that as a norm & even have contributed many millions of dollars of our tax dollars to the #1 abortion provid-er in our country, Planned Parenthood. Then we wonder, why our country is in trouble?!

Psalm 127 also states that, “Unless the Lord build the house, they labor in vain who build.”

Some people justify their support of organizations who promote abortions by saying they are pro-life because they are so very much opposed to war. What these people cannot possibly realize, is how few soldiers in our country have actually died in all of our wars, compared to the number of the most innocent of children who have died by abortion. MCCL sta-tistics tell us that when you add up all of our American War Casualties which include the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Ko-rean War, the Vietnam War, & the Iraq & Afghanistan wars, that total number is a mere 1 million 1 hundred eighty six thousand & eighty six, as compared to 56 million, 405 thousand seven hundred 66. (56 x greater abortion fatalities than

war casualties.) We still hear people talk about the

horror of Hitler in World War II exter-minating 7 million Jews over 70 years ago. How many of those same people are horrified by the horror of 8 times that number having died in just our country since our war on the unborn began in 1973 because of the infamous Supreme Court decision of Roe vs. Wade? The saddest of all is that this norm for killing our own most innocent future citizens is so called justified simply for the sake of so called “convenience.”

In light of all these cold hard facts, do we really have to question why we should heed what Scripture tells us in 2nd Chronicles, “If My people, which are called by My Name, shall humble themselves & pray & seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven & will forgive their sins, & will heal their land.”

Food Safety After SchoolBy Deb Botzek-Linn is a food safety edu-cator with the University of Minnesota Extension

Where is the first place kids go when they get home from school? The kitchen. They rummage through the cupboards and refrigerator seeking a snack. The kitchen is not always the saf-est place if kids become ill from the food they eat. Children under age 15 are at a higher risk for foodborne illness as their immune system is not as developed as an adult’s.

When heading to after school snack time, kids can help prevent foodborne illness by following these guidelines:

• Place backpacks, books, and sports equipment on the floor or designated area. They carry germs that we don’t want on the table or counters where food is prepared.

• Clean out lunch boxes and throw away ‘refrigerator type’ foods, such as sandwiches, yogurt tubes, cheese sticks that are left over from lunch.

• Wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds before food preparation and eating.

• Wash fresh fruits and vegetables with running water before you eat them.

• Do not eat bread or soft fruits or

vegetables with mold or that are bruised.• Unbaked cookie dough may con-

tain raw eggs and is not to be eaten.• Hot dogs need to be cooked not

eaten from the package.• Milk, lunch meat, hardcooked

eggs, yogurt or cheese needs to be quickly put back in the refrigerator.

• Don’t eat perishable food like piz-za or leftovers left out of the refrigerator more than 2 hours.

Are your children allowed to use the microwave after school? If so, teach them personal and food safety micro-wave practices:

• Teach them to read and follow the microwave instructions on the package.

• Supply them with microwave-safe cookware, not metal, foil or plastic tubs and cartons that could spark, overheat or melt.

• Make pot holders available and in-struct kids how to use them. Be sure they understand how to remove food from the microwave and that steam can burn!

• Instruct children on the importance of stirring all hot drinks and soups be-fore tasting to make sure they don’t burn their mouth.

It’s a great time to teach children good after school food safety practices!

Minnesota 4-Hers from 87 counties ar-rived with over 2850 animals at the 2015 “Great Minnesota Get-Together” for this year’s 4-H livestock encampment held Thursday, August 26-Sunday August 30. The number of livestock exhibits over the weekend included:

Beef: 614 exhibits; Dairy: 468 exhibits; Goats: 341 exhibits; Poultry: 205 exhibits; Rabbits: 309 exhibits; Sheep: 370 exhibits; Swine: 473 exhibits; Lama: 70 exhibits.

Minnesota 4-H’ers have been prepar-ing for this event all summer long. There are several components a member consid-ers when they decide to exhibit livestock, including selection and preparation of the animal, educational programming, scholar-ship applications, and participation at coun-ty fairs.

Education is integral in the “learn by doing” philosophy of 4-H. As part of the educational component, Minnesota 4-H re-quires every youth participating in the live-stock encampment to part in a livestock in-terview. Examples of the interview process include an on-line knowledge test, skill-a-thons, and personal interviews about their project area.

Along with interviews, all 4-H youth participated in livestock programming were required to complete the Livestock Quality Assurance and Ethics (LQA&E) Training. Through this certification, youth were edu-cated on bio-security, educating the public on the role of livestock, and caring for their animal’s welfare.

Returning again this year is the peer mentor program, Speaking Up For Agri-culture. This program assists in preparing youth in understanding the role of livestock not only as a project, but as products that ultimately consumers purchase and use. As 4-H exhibitors share their animals with the general public, they use the opportunity to educate consumers about all stages of live-

2015 Minnesota 4-H General Livestockstock production.

Many 4-H participants also had the op-portunity to finance their education as re-cipients of scholarships. This year the Dairy Project continued with the 4th annual Dairy Showcase and awarded special recognition and scholarships to 25 outstanding partici-pants based on their dairy industry knowl-edge, 4-H dairy project involvement, along with state fair dairy show results. The an-nual Purple Ribbon Auction sponsored by the Minnesota Livestock Breeders Associa-tion (MLBA) presented 34 scholarships to youth with well-rounded leadership, com-munity service and livestock involvement throughout their 4-H career.

4-H not only produces purple ribbon animals, but more importantly is focused on producing purple ribbon kids! Congrat-ulations to all the youth that participated in the Livestock Encampment at the 2015 Minnesota State Fair.

Representing Todd County at the State Fair with their animals was: Austin Hol-lermann, Burtrum Boosters, Dairy, Red; Brian Kunerth, Wykeham Willing Work-ers, Dairy, Blue; Cathleen Rieffer, Burtrum Boosters, Beef—Red; Crystal Halbersma, Hustlin Rustics, Beef, Red; Dalton Drayna, Hustlin Rustics, Beef, Purple; Derek Pratt, Hustlin Rustics, Sheep, Blue; Dylan Hol-lermann, Burtrum Boosters, Dairy, Red; Emily Hinnenkamp, Hustlin Rustics, Beef, Blue; Erica Hollermann, Burtrum Boosters, Beef, Blue; Jocelyn Hinnenkamp, Hustlin Rustics, Sheep, Blue; John Carstensen, Lone Star, Rabbit, Red; Marcus Kunerth, Wykeham Willing Workers, Dairy, Red; Mason Hollermann, Burtrum Boosters, Dairy, Red; Megan Hollermann, Burtrum Boosters, Dairy, Blue; Nicholas Holler-mann, Burtrum Boosters, Beef, Blue; Ol-ivia Hollermann, Burtrum Boosters, Beef, Champion; Rachel Paskewitz, A-1, Beef, Blue; Rebekka Paskewitz, A-1, Rabbit, Red; Sara Carstensen, Lone Star, Rabbit, Blue; and William Harrington, Lone Star, Dairy, Blue.
