of all.The moral of this Aesop’s Fable:

Only by working together can the greatest good for all be achieved.

In a word, teamwork.I preach teamwork constantly, for

without it, why would you bother to have more than one employee? Why would you contract with vendors, suppliers, distributors or even customers for that matter?

You have to work together.Everyone wants to be the star.

Unfortunately, stars rarely win anything by themselves. For any star to shine, they need a team behind them.

A true team consists of people who contribute different skills that all work together to achieve a goal that none of them could accomplish on their own.

Ask Babe Ruth if he could have won a single baseball game all by himself. Ask Henry Ford if he could have built a car company all by himself. Ask Thomas Edison if he could have made all his inventions all by himself.

No matter how good you are, you can be better when you work with the right team. In the business world, you need to provide an atmosphere where teamwork is not only encouraged but expected.

More importantly, everyone on the team not only has to pursue the same goal, but they also have to feel that their role is crucial to the team’s success.

In 1961, U.S. President John F. Kennedy declared that he wanted the United States to put a man on the moon by the end of that decade. Shortly Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

With great teamwork everybody wins -By Harvey MackayOne day the

Body and all its parts began to criticize the Belly for enjoying a life of idleness and luxury, while they spent all their time working to feed it. So they entered into a conspiracy to cut off the Belly’s supplies in the

future.The Hands would no longer carry

food to the Mouth, nor would the Mouth receive the food, nor would the Teeth chew it. Not long after following this plan, the parts began to fail, and the whole body began to waste away.

Then the members realized that the Belly, which seemed cumbersome and useless, had an important function of its own. They could no more do without it than it could do without them. If they wanted to keep the body in a healthy state, they must work together, each in his proper sphere, for the common good

afterwards, a newspaper reporter visited NASA and interviewed the engineers, technicians and scientists who were working on the rocket that would eventually put Neil Armstrong on the moon.

After interviewing everyone at NASA, the reporter saw a woman janitor scrubbing the front steps. When the reporter asked this woman what her role in NASA was, she proudly said, “I’m helping put a man on the moon!”

When you have a goal that everyone can believe in, nothing can stop your team from accomplishing what seemed

impossible.To illustrate the importance of

assembling a team, consider these questions:

Do you need more than one person? Maybe the work calls for different skill sets or different perspectives. Or maybe it’s just too much work for one person to handle. For example, a chef alone can’t run a restaurant; waiters, busboys, dishwashers and other people are required. Form a team when you really need a concerted effort.

Will the project create a common purpose? Sometimes forming a team is useful when you want to build a sense of teamwork in your department. If the project will pull people together and give them a common goal to shoot for, a team can strengthen bonds and have a positive effect long after the task is completed.

Can you depend on the team members to support each other? If the team consists of members who don’t get

along or respect the others’ contributions, the work will suffer. Promote team-building exercises and activities to enhance the group’s dynamics. Provide opportunities for each team member to showcase their contribution.

Finally, does the project truly require a team to accomplish the goal? If a project can be completed successfully by one person, why waste the skills and talents of otherwise busy workers? Use teams wisely for best productivity.

Don’t underestimate the value of creating teamwork opportunities outside the normal business arena. Company ball teams, choirs, volunteer projects and outings allow people to get to know each other on a different level, which can translate into better cooperation in the work place.

Mackay’s Moral: Teamwork divides the task and multiplies the success.

ObituaryRaymond J. Warga

Raymond J. Warga, 87 year old resident of H o l d i n g f o r d , MN passed away Saturday, June 13, 2015 at his home in Holdingford, MN. Funeral services were held Wednesday, June 17, 2015 at the Community Country Church in Holdingford,

MN with Rev. Gregg Valentine officiating. Burial took place in the South Elmdale Congregational Church Cemetery.

Ray was born on May 21, 1928 in rural Holdingford, MN to the late Michael Jr. and Elizabeth (Yencho) Warga. He graduated from Holdingford High School with the Class of 1946 and later went to work at the Holdingford Mill. Ray served his country with honor from January 1951 until October 1952 in the Korean War, obtaining the rank of Sgt. He was united in marriage to Dolores Norton on

June 18, 1955 at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in St. Cloud, MN. In the fall of 1956 they went to work on the family farm in rural Holdingford, retiring after 50 years of farming. Ray was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who had strong faith in God. He was a member of Community Country Church where he served on the church board for many years. Ray was also a life member of the Holdingford VFW Post 5160, and served on the Stearns County Soil and Water Conservation board.

Ray is survived by his loving wife of 60 years, Dolores of Holdingford, MN; sons, Tom (Michele) Warga of Ashby, MN and Bruce (Cheryl) Warga of Holdingford, MN; daughter, Ann (Dave) Anderson of Ashby, MN; 12 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren; sister, Margaret Bachman of Maple Grove, MN; and sisters-in-law, Joan, Betty and Willa Lou.

Ray was preceded in death by parents, Michael and Elizabeth Warga; infant daughter; siblings, Paul, Ruth, Mildred, Edward, Donald, Leonard, and William; and infant granddaughter.

The Grey Eagle Senior Center is planning a “June Pot Luck/Bingo Party” for Wednesday, June 24th, at 5:00 p.m. Anyone who is 55 years of age or older is invited to attend. Please bring a dish

Dave Says -By Dave RamseyDear Dave,

My husband and I work and live in an RV. The vehicle is paid for, and I’d like to upgrade to a larger one, but that would mean taking out a $30,000 loan. We have $30,000 in savings, including our emergency fund, and we make $55,000 a year. What are your thoughts?

-ReneeDear Renee,

I think what you’re doing with your lives is kind of cool. But I can’t advise financing something that will go down in value as quickly as an RV. I wouldn’t even do it on the basis that it’s going to be your primary residence.

Let’s look at things from a different angle. First of all, I think your emergency fund is a little high. I recommend three to six months of expenses, and on a household income of $55,000, holding $20,000 in reserve would be a lot. If you kept $15,000 in the bank, that would leave you with $15,000. If you’re talking about a $30,000 upgrade, you’d only need to save up another $15,000.

See where I’m going with this? With a little patience and planning, you can have your upgrade in the not-too-distant future and still have the peace of mind that goes with knowing you have a reasonable emergency fund sitting in the bank!

Dear Dave,My wife

and I are in our twenties. We have no debt and $50,000 in the bank. Our income is $90,000 a year, and we’re cautious to live on less than we make. Still, we can’t seem to get motivated to

make a budget. How can we get inspired to do this?

-IsaacDear Isaac,

Two of the biggest motivators we have are pain and pleasure. Financially, you guys don’t have any pain. You’re killing it! So, we’re going to have to figure out something associated with pleasure.

I think you need to look for something bigger than money to push you. You guys need to ask yourselves, “What are we saving for?” On a bigger scale, ask yourselves, “What can we do with this money?”

It sounds to me like you both realize money can’t be the goal. And that’s a good thing. You guys are obviously smart, gifted people. I’m sure you have ideas and goals, dreams and desires. Talk about them and write them down. By doing this, you’ll be taking the first steps toward making these things reality. When you have something specific that you want money to do, it gives you a reason to make it behave.

God calls us to manage well the resources He gives us, so that we’re able to do good things for His kingdom and His people. Broke people can’t give, so my advice would be to use your talents and resources for the good of others.

-Dave

Faith Community Church in Bur-trum is hosting a video series titled “The Family Project”. Join us this Sun-day, June 21 from 10-11 a.m. or Thurs-day, June 25 at 7 p.m.

Sunday, June 21 - Lesson 12: My Imperfect Family. Families consumed with appearing “perfect” deny reality. But every family must ask, “What is God calling us to do together for His Kingdom that we can’t do alone?” No man is perfect, but every good man de-sires a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. When he realizes his true calling is to fight for his family, and to bring his beauty with him into the larger adventure of advancing the Kingdom of God, he is really begin-ning to live in true fulfillment. A wom-an wants not a battle to fight, but to be

Join Us for “The Family Project”fought for (by him), and to join him in an adventure larger than both of them. When this occurs even the imperfect family is working in sync with eternity and they become a part of the solution of the world.

An alternative showing of this les-son will be held on Thursday, June 25 at 7 p.m. For more info. contact Jim Hobbs at 320-732-3325 or [email protected].

Sheila Ripplinger of Burtrum hosted a book launch party for her recently published children’s book, “Grandpa, My Best Friend” last Friday in Freeport. Photo by Ruthie Flaa.

On Friday, June 12th, Sheila Ripplinger hosted her first book launch for her recently self-published book, “Grandpa, My Best Friend.” At her book launch, friends and family came to purchase books, have them signed by Sheila, enjoy cookies, take pictures and congratulate Sheila on her

accomplishment. Using the resources and help of a

company called AuthorHouse, Sheila was able to tell the story of learning life lessons from her grandpa while spending time on his dairy farm as a young girl. The book contains illustrated images as well as personal photos in the front.

By Ruthie FlaaAmanda and Derek Zigan of Long

Prairie hosted the 7th annual Breakfast on the Farm for Todd County on Saturday, June 13 at their Dairy farm. Many families came for a meal and tour of the Zigan farm, which uses advanced technology to help with the process of milking their cows. The Zigan farm uses special robots that can milk the cows whenever the cow is ready. Each cow, on its own, can step into the machine and let the robot do the work. This technology saves time for the farmers

and provides speedy relief for the cows. Along with the milking robots, other technology is used on the farm to help with efficiency, such as a robot which keeps the cows’ food close to them by pushing it against the sides of their pen. The Zigan’s Breakfast on the Farm was an opportunity for families to witness the technology which assists them in getting their jobs done faster. Besides the tour, there was also a petting zoo, a face painting station, a coloring stating and a place to take pictures.

Who are the “meek” who will “in-herit the earth?” Are they the ones we would classify as weak? Would they fall into a special category labeled “non-assertive?” Is the “meek” person one who has no expectations or goals in life? Have you ever seen an ad in the classified section of a newspaper where an insurance company is searching for sale persons that says, “Only the meek should apply?”

David said, “The meek will inherit the land.” And Jesus said, “Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth.” Who are these “meek” people anyway? Is there any way we can recognize them?

Yes, there is, according to Scripture. The “meek” are the ones who are the op-posites of the “know it all” or possess a “false-pride.” They are the proud and believe that worldly might and power are an end in themselves. They present themselves as the ultimate resource of all knowledge, wisdom, insight and un-derstanding. They consider themselves to be worldly-wise. It is those who think they are the “light of the world” - not Jesus.

In God’s Word, however a truly “meek” person is one whose goal is to know Christ and make Him known. We become meek when we are willing to have God alter every detail of our lives by surrendering to the teachings of God’s Word and desiring to honor Him alone.

When it comes to weakness, our “meekness” will allow us to become “weak” in the hands of God. Then He can shape us into becoming who He would have us to be.

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson

Although it had some anx-ious moments, the special ses-sion of the Leg-islature came to an end early this past Saturday morning, and af-ter the governor signed the bills, Minnesota’s up-coming two-year budget is finally

complete. Our makeshift chamber in a State Office Building committee room as restoration work takes place in the Capi-tol made for some tight quarters, with House members, staff, media, and visi-tors all cramped together, but things went relatively smoothly and the necessary business got done. In all, six bills were passed, including the massive K-12 edu-cation bill that spends $17 billion over the next two years.

The main change in that bill from the one vetoed earlier by Gov. Dayton is the addition of $125 million in new funding.

The basic funding formula was raised by another one-half percent, which accounts for about half of the increase. Schools will now receive increases in that for-mula of 2 percent in each year of the biennium. Preschool education was also addressed, although not in the fashion proposed by the governor. He had made pre-K or 4-year-old school programs one of his top priorities. However, that was dropped in favor of early learning schol-arships and an increase in a program known as “school readiness.” Head Start also received more funding, as did Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE).

Of interest locally was a provision for schools to make their own decision regarding a four-day school calendar. If they had been on the four-day week this past year, they can continue in that same fashion for the next five years. The only school in our area currently on the four-day week is BBE and this will now give them the option to continue.

Funding was also allocated for the six school districts, including Sauk Cen-tre, that had been on a waiting list to get into the Q-Comp teacher compensation program. This means additional state dollars for these districts that had gone through all the preliminary steps and were approved for the alternative pay-ment program.

Schools will also be allowed to start their calendar before Labor Day this coming year because the holiday falls late. Again, this may have come too late for schools to take advantage of the one-year reprieve from this state mandate.

The environment/ag bill provided the drama for the special session. The bill

was controversial, mainly because of a provision to abolish the Citizens Board from the Pollution Control Agency. How-ever, it had earlier been approved by both chambers and had been agreed to by the governor. The bill passed in the House with Republicans and Iron Range Demo-crats voting in favor, and it also passed in the Senate on a 33-32 vote. However, it takes 34 votes to approve measures in that chamber so, in effect, it failed. That’s when things ground to a halt, with the House going into a six-hour recess as we waited to see what would happen in the Senate. To the surprise of many, they amended the bill (which went against the agreement to NOT offer any amend-ments) and re-passed it. It finally came back to the House, where we promptly put the bill back in its original form and approved it again. With the clock well past midnight, the bill went back to the Senate where it passed easily this time.

I will write more in coming weeks about provisions that became law, but a quick overview shows many good things accomplished for Greater Minnesota. Top on my list is increased funding for our nursing homes. We also came up with transportation money for cities and towns under 5,000 residents, which takes in every one of the cities in our district. In addition, one of the provisions of the bonding bill passed during last week’s special session is a $300,000 allocation for the Eagle’s Healing Nest of Sauk Centre to help with the maintenance of their buildings.

Rep. Anderson can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by phone at 651-296-4317. To receive email updates sign-up on his webpage at www.house.mn/13a.

Grey Eagle Township Notice

On Sunday, June 7th, 21,816 meal packets were put together for the Food For Kidz organization out of Stewart, MN at Community Covenant Church in Up-sala. Several members of the church as well as the Summer Staff from both Camp Lebanon and Lake Beauty Bible Camp joined together to form packag-ing teams. “Service Sunday’ was a busy time of packaging food, baking cookies for outreach, and cleaning the church garage. The hope is that the meals will be sent to Nepal, India or wherever the need is. For more information about Community Covenant Church, visit their website at www.upsalacov.org

By Dave RamseyIn the world of awkwardness, difficult

situations and don’t-want-to-do-it, almost nothing ranks higher than having to tackle a tough conversation with a team member. So how do you handle these tough situations, when your natural instinct is to totally avoid them? Here are a few “do’s” and “don’ts” when it comes to dealing with conflict.

Don’t put it off. Revenge may be a dish that is best served cold — at least according to Don Corleone — but if you’re having an issue with a team member it needs to be han-dled as soon as possible. Procrastination not only hurts you and the person involved, but your whole staff as they watch sanctioned incompetence or continual bad behavior without repercussions. Like Dave Ramsey says, “If you allow people to misbehave, un-derachieve, have a bad attitude, gossip and generally avoid excellence, please don’t ex-pect to attract and keep great talent. Please don’t expect to have an incredible culture.”

Get it on your calendar. Schedule an appointment for a meeting with the per-son who is having an issue, and block out enough time to get the problem solved. It’s not fair to either of you for there to be no resolution or understanding in the end.

Don’t be cruel. Nothing is ever accom-

How to handle difficult discussionsplished by bullying or being mean. Remem-ber, in this situation you have power and control. They have neither. The idea of the meeting is to course-correct and teach — not to embarrass and demoralize.

The reprimand should:• Be kept short. Get to the facts.• Be uncomfortable for everyone. Be

blunt for the sake of clarity.• Attack the problem. At Dave’s compa-

ny, leaders use the “Reprimand Sandwich” recommended by Ken Blanchard in The One Minute Manager. Start with praise, then talk about the problem and finally top it off with more praise.

• Be private. The goal is not to embar-rass anyone. Embarrassing a team member is a quick way to lose that person’s loyalty forever.

• Be gentle. Kind and clear are the key words here, because you don’t want to lose a teachable moment.

Don’t lose focus. For most of us, the first response to an uncomfortable conversa-tion is to change the subject. As a leader, this is the last thing you want to do. Concentrate on the problem at hand, and keep things on course.

Be prepared. The easiest way to stay on track is to prepare before the meeting. Write down the preferred outcome, and the talk-ing points you need to cover with the team member, to accomplish this goal. Keep the list close at hand, and reference it to remind yourself of what you need to cover should you start to drift.

Being a leader is never easy, especially when it comes to hard conversations. There will be times, however, when you have to deal with these kinds of situations in order to unify your team and move the company forward!

The Minnesota House and Senate de-bated and passed the final budget bills to complete the 2016-2017 budget on Friday and into the early morning hours on Satur-day, including the Education Omnibus bill, the Jobs and Energy bill, the Agriculture and Environment bill, the Legacy bill, and a bonding bill. The Education, Jobs and Energy, and Agriculture and Environment bills were vetoed by Governor Dayton last month, forcing a special session.

The 2016-2017 Education budget in-cludes $525 million in new funding for Minnesota schools and early learning programs for a total of $1.4 billion in ad-ditional spending compared to 2014-2015. About $104 million will go toward early learning scholarships.

The final budget represents the 3rd lowest increase in spending in over 50 years, while still investing in key priori-ties including education, senior care, and transportation. The budget also increases funding for senior care facilities by $138 million by reforming the way Minnesota reimburses care costs, a bill that was signed into law by Governor Dayton last month.

The Agriculture and Environment bill passed today includes significant funding for state agencies tasked with combating avian flu, as well as $10 million for the Rural Finance Authority to make loans for avian flu-related disaster recovery. The Jobs and Energy bill extends unemploy-

ment benefits to workers impacted by the recent avian influenza epidemic and in-cludes investments in broadband, work-force housing, and job training.

Assistant Majority Leader Rep. Ron Kresha, R-Little Falls, issued the follow-ing statement regarding the special ses-sion:

“This budget is going to make a sig-nificant impact closing the achievement gap for Minnesota students,” Kresha said. “Research demonstrates that a targeted program that gives parents true choice among high-quality early learning options is the best way to close the achievement gap. I have been a strong advocate, and will continue to advocate for policies that lift up at-risk children and put them on a path toward future success. I’m extremely proud of the bipartisan efforts on child pro-tection and early learning scholarships that are going to make a difference in the lives of children across the state. We have more work to do however, and I’m excited to see what we can do next session.”

The 2016 legislative session is sched-uled to convene on March 8, 2016 at 12:00 p.m.

Training Helps Providers to Motivate PatientsCentraCare Health physicians and

patient care coordinators have enhanced their skills in screening and intervening with patients who misuse alcohol and/or drugs, thanks to a $600,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Human Services Al-cohol and Drug Abuse Division.

Only one in seven Minnesota adults discusses alcohol or illicit drug consump-tion with a health care professional, ac-cording to a study by the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention.

Integrating addiction services into mainstream health care is the only way to tackle the misuse and abuse of substances

in the U.S. and the physical and mental health problems that are intertwined with it, according to the Institute for Research, Education and Training in Addictions (IRETA).

The goal of the grant to CentraCare Health was to train primary care physi-cians and patient care coordinators on the benefits of Screening, Brief Interven-tion and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT). Through motivational interviewing, health care providers often can improve the over-all health of patients related to their alco-hol use and misuse of prescription drugs. Other healthy lifestyle factors assessed in-clude: physical activity, nutrition, tobacco

and cigarette usage, positive thinking and sleep hygiene.

CentraCare Health’s SBIRT project staff hosted five, two-day training semi-nars on motivational interviewing and the SBIRT model of care. These seminars were attended by 200 physicians, nurses and other care providers from throughout the state.

The project conducted screenings on more than 2,000 CentraCare patients dur-ing the one-year grant period and provided support and counseling to those in need. Follow-up reporting from patients who participated in the screening showed they were binge drinking on average 3.5 times less per month after completing the coun-seling.
