wanted to marry.”The single man once again thought
about the man’s statement. “Well, yes, that’s true,” he said. “There was one girl once. The perfect girl. Actually, she was the only perfect girl I have ever met. Everything she did was absolutely right on. She really was the perfect girl for me.”
“Well why on Earth didn’t you marry her?” the married man asked.
“She was looking for the perfect man,” the other replied.
Perfect is the ultimate praise. But trying to attain perfection can cause stress, hinder efficiency and create unnecessary conflicts. Perfectionists are frequently thought of as critical, overwhelmed, unable to see the big picture, stressed-out, anxious and rarely able to enjoy their accomplishments.
Perfect is also the ultimate impossibility. Most of us are content to settle for almost perfect, or pretty darn close. So it makes sense to focus instead on a goal of excellence: meeting the highest standards agree upon for oneself or by the group.
As the legendary football coach Vince Lombardi said, “Perfection is Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3
Pursuit of perfection leads to search for excellence -By Harvey MackayTwo men met
on an airplane and began to talk. They asked each other the usual questions, and as it happened, one of the men was married and the other man was not. After a while a married man asked, “Why is it
that you never married?”The single man looked pensive then
said, “Well, I think I just never met the right woman.”
“Oh, come on,” the married man replied, “surely you’ve met at least one girl during your lifetime that you
not attainable, but if we chase p e r f e c t i o n we can catch excellence.”
Excel lence means continued personal and professional growth, job satisfaction and customer service, clear and reasonable expectations and a strong sense of accomplishment.
To truly keep on the path toward the pursuit of excellence, give these points some consideration:
• Get real. When you find yourself becoming frantic about a goal, stop and ask, “Is this problem really worth the level of frustration I’m experiencing?” The likelihood that a result can never be good enough is counterproductive to progress.
• Establish clear expectations. If you know what’s expected of you, you can better track your progress and draw boundaries when needed, which will help you move forward with a project instead of obsessing on details that may not ultimately make a difference.

• Identify your triggers. Learn to recognize the factors that lead or contribute to your perfectionist thinking and behaviors - and avoid them. If you can’t figure them out by yourself, ask your colleagues. They will likely be able to tell you what you need to know.
• Delegate. Many perfectionists mistakenly believe that they - and only they - can complete the task at hand. Allow other people to assist you, which will increase the odds that the group will more easily reach excellence. Then be prepared to be amazed at results that you never imagined might be possible.
• Know what’s important. Ask yourself, “What’s most important about this project? Seek input from supervisors, colleagues and employees. Setting your objectives and then identifying key points allows everyone to contribute to the success of the project.
• Focus on what you can do, not on
what you can’t. Do the best job possible within the limits of your resources. Rather than wasting time, energy and money obsessing about how good it could be if you had more to work with, concentrate your efforts on how to get the best result within your limitations.
Longtime readers of this column will suspect I am contradicting one of my favorite aphorisms: “Practice makes perfect - not true. Perfect practice makes perfect.” I still adhere to that philosophy. If you are practicing to improve performance, whether for a presentation or golf swing, you want to improve your performance, not repeatedly practicing mistakes.
Management guru Stephen Covey put it this way: “Real excellence does not come cheaply. A certain price must be paid in terms of practice, patience, and persistence - natural ability notwithstanding.”
In other words, you have to be
Harvey Mackay continued from page 2 willing to pay the price, because excellence in any field is not automatic.
I know people who have bowled perfect games. I have witnessed pitchers throwing perfect games. Not to brag, but I recently got my first hole-in-one. Those are rarities, believe me. And that’s why we keep practicing, as perfectly as we can.
Mackay’s Moral: Even if you can’t achieve perfection, you should never
stop trying.Reprinted with permission from

Dave Says -By Dave Ramseyless time you spend delivering pizzas. All this really hinges on is how badly you want a career in real estate and how much you guys want to keep your home. If you want it enough, you’ll do what it takes to get there. And for the time being that’s going to mean supplementing your income with something on the side while you grow your real estate business!
-DaveDear Dave,
We’ve made an offer on a house we really like through a first-time buyers program. Now, after looking over our budget and debts again, my wife and I are having second thoughts. We haven’t signed or turned in any paperwork yet. What do you think we should do?
-CraigDear Craig,
I wouldn’t go through with the deal. I advise people to be debt-free before buying a home, because you want a home to be a blessing, not a curse.
Homeownership when you’re broke is never a good idea. And basically, that’s the situation you’re describing. You have debt, and you’re trying to squeak into something with a first-time buyers plan. The translation? You have no money. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. That’s Murphy’s Law, and he’ll move into your spare bedroom along with his three cousins — Broke, Desperate and Stupid.
Get your debts paid off, build up an emergency fund, and save up a good down payment before buying a home. I know that’s not the popular answer, but it’s the smart one!

Dear Dave,My wife and
I are thinking about selling our home. I was recently let go from the military due to downsizing, and I’ve begun a job in real estate but things are starting slowly. My wife brings
home about $3,500 a month as a teacher, and the only debt we have is our house payment of $1,616 a month. I was given a $35,000 severance package, but we need some advice to help bridge the financial gap. Any ideas?
-ErikDear Erik,
Having little or no income is a lot harder than a variable income situation. Your wife is bringing home good money, but at the moment your house payment is almost half that amount. Are there some things you can do on the side while you’re getting your real estate business going that will create income? If you could make even $1,000 to $2,000 a month, it would change the picture entirely. You guys would be able to keep your home and have a little breathing room while you get your real estate career off the ground.
Looking at it from a long-term perspective, if you’re selling a bunch of houses a year or two from now, you’re in the clear. You could easily stay in the house. But if you don’t find extra income while you build your business, if you’re not willing to work extra hard and sacrifice in the meantime — even if it means just delivering pizzas — then you probably need to sell the house.
It takes about six to nine months to start making a living in the residential real estate business. So look at it this way: the more houses you sell, the

Thomas ‘Tom’ W. Reiter Sr.T h o m a s
‘Tom’ W. Reiter Sr., 71 year old resident of Flensburg, MN passed away Monday, July 27, 2015 after a year long battle with cancer, at the St. Cloud Hospital. A Memorial
Service was held at 11:00 A.M. on Thursday, July 30, 2015 at Shelley Funeral Chapel in Little Falls, MN with Rev. Gregg Valentine officiating.
Tom was born on July 2, 1944 in Chicago Heights, Illinois to the late Earl A. Reiter and Ruth E. (Collins) Reiter. Around when Tom was 6 months old, his parents moved to Balaton, Minnesota where he grew up and attended school. Following high school, Tom enlisted into the United States Army. After leaving the Army, Tom’s family moved to St. Cloud, where he met Judith Cordie. Tom and Judy were married on October 7, 1967 in Waite Park. Tom was an A.S.E. certified auto mechanic for most of his
life, and some considered him to be an “automotive genius”. He was employed by Kroska-Datsun before opening his own repair shop. Later, he was employed by Fleet Supply, Frerich’s Auto Repair, Sears, Always Available (Towing), and O’Reilly’s Auto Parts. Tom’s hobbies included, fishing, camping, hunting, auto racing, and spending time with family and friends.
Tom is survived by his loving companion and life partner of 50 years, Judith Cordie of Flensburg, MN; children, Patricia (Joseph) Wachmann of St. Cloud, MN; Thomas Reiter, Jr. of Swanville, MN; Donald Reiter of Alexandria, MN; Peter (Amanda) Reiter of Melrose, MN; and Tanya Reiter (David Scott) of Verndale, MN; 23 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren; sister, Carol (James) Hutchins of Fairfax, MN; brother, William Reiter of Mokena, IL; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Earl and Ruth Reiter; grandparents; and sister-in-law, Judy Reiter.

July 29, 2015: At at approximately 9:55 a.m., their office received a report of a two vehicle accident at the intersec-tion of 160th avenue and 68th street, just north of Royalton in Bellevue Town-ship.
68 year old Patrick Kuklok from Holdingford was traveling eastbound on 68th Street and 38 year old Ryan Burggraff from Royalton was traveling northbound on 160th Avenue. Accord-ing to the Sheriff’s Office, Kuklok failed to yield at the intersection and both vehi-cles collided at the intersection. Kuklok was driving a Chevy Malibu passenger car and Burggraff was driving a Chevy Silverado pickup truck. Patrick Kuklok, Anne Kuklok and Jamison Kuklok were all in the same vehicle and they were transported by Gold Cross Ambulance to the St. Cloud hospital with non life threatening injuries.
The Sheriff’s Office reports that both vehicles were totaled and the Roy-alton Fire Department was called out to the scene for extrication purposes. The Morrison County Sheriff’s Office is in-vestigating the accident and they were assisted by the Royalton Police Depart-ment, Royalton Fire Department, Roy-alton First Response Team and Gold Cross Ambulance.

As evidenced by the popularity of the following films, moviegoers are fascinated by the possibility of escaping the steady passage of time. In G r o u n d h o g ’ s Day, Phil Connors (Bill Murray) gets stuck in a time
loop, experiencing the same day over and over again. In Back to the Future, Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) must alter the course of history by traveling through time to change past events. In Click, Adam Sandler plays a man whose magic remote control gives him the power to fast forward through life’s dull or uncomfortable moments. In Inception, Leonardo Di Caprio’s character, by entering into a series of dreams, experiences years in a matter of minutes. In Multiplicity, Micheal Keaton is cast as a busy dad, husband, and employer crunched for time. He clones himself so that he can fit everything he wants to do within a single day.
It certainly would be wonderful to relive our fondest memories, to undo
past mistakes, to halt time in order to get ahead, or somehow to foresee and prevent future disasters. Yet in actuality, we’re stuck plodding through life second by second. We don’t get any do-overs, we cannot peer into the future, and we can neither speed up nor slow down how quickly the day passes. Though we have no control over the flow of time, we can become smarter about how we spend the hours in each day. However, before we can learn to manage time more effectively, we must adopt a realistic perspective of it.
PROPER PERSPECTIVES ON TIME
1) Recognize that “Spending Time” Is Not a Metaphor.
Time is more valuable than money, because time is irreplaceable. “You don’t really pay for things with money,” says author Charles Spezzano in What to Do Between Birth and Death. “You pay for them with time.” We exchange our time for dollars when we go to work and then trade our dollars for everything we purchase and accumulate. In essence, all we possess can be traced back to a payment of time. Time stewardship is perhaps a leader’s greatest responsibility. In the words of Peter Drucker, “Nothing else distinguishes effective executives as much as their tender loving care of time.”
2) Understand the Power of Compounding
With time, as with finances, investments made early in life accrue the most interest. When we poorly manage our time, we go into debt by establishing bad habits. Later, we not only must make up for wasted time, but we also must pay interest—spending extra to repair the damage of our negative patterns of behavior. On the flip side, when we invest our time wisely from a young age, we reap the benefits of compounding interest in our leadership.
3) Realize That Lost Time Is Never Found Again.
Clayton C. Barbeau in his book Joy of Marriage writes, “Again and again, I meet marriage situations in which the couple speaks of ‘not finding time’ [to be together]. I’ve never yet stumbled across 20 minutes lying on the sidewalk, though once I found a $20 bill. Nor have I ever met anyone who just happened
across two weeks of time somebody had left in the park. I doubt that anyone else has done so either, for the simple reason that time is not found. Time is created by us for the things we want to do. It often requires conscious planning to create those chunks of time we can devote totally to the other.”
4) Appreciate How a Thankful and Hopeful Attitude Makes the Most of Time
In Martin Seligman’s twenty-two year study at the University of Pennsylvania, summarized in his book Learned Optimism, he determined that optimism is the most important quality you can develop for personal and professional success and happiness. Optimistic people are more effective in almost every area of life. Why? Because they approach the world with gratitude and hope rather than fear and regret.
Optimists have four special behaviors, all learned through conscious practice and repetition. First, optimists look for the good in every situation.
How to Get More Done In Less Time: Perspecitve -By Dr. John C. MaxwellThey always find blessings for which to be grateful. Second, optimists always seek the valuable lesson in every setback. They’re thankful even for hardships, interpreting difficulty as instruction rather than obstruction. Third, optimists always look for the solution to every problem. Instead of blaming or complaining when things go wrong, they take action in the hopes of improving their situation. They ask questions like, “What’s the solution? What can we do now? What’s the next step?” Fourth, optimists think and talk continually about their goals. Hopeful tomorrow will be better than today, they are future-oriented rather than backward-looking.
Dr. John C. Maxwell has authored over 30 books, including such New York Times best-sellers as “Failing Forward” and “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.” http://ak-cache.legacy.com/legacy/images/Cobrands/HeraldNet/Photos/Koehn_Arnold_538253_20140115.jpg

“Congratulations” is a word of en-couragement that we all enjoy hearing. Being recognized for any of our ac-complishments means that someone has noticed what we have done. It usually brings us feelings of worth and value, importance and significance. Often we swell with pride saying, “Look at me! I’m someone special.”

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson
Those of us on the Leg-islative Energy C o m m i s s i o n heard an interest-ing presentation at our meeting last Thursday. The topic was energy use in transportat ion systems and how changes in trans-portation policy
can be used to lower traffic levels dur-ing peak periods of rush hour use. For example, charging higher toll fees dur-ing those times to encourage alternate travel plans has worked in some Euro-pean countries. We also heard a report from one Minnesota company that en-courages its employees to work from home. And last on the agenda was a fascinating report on the impact driver-less vehicles will have on our society. All the major car companies are work-ing on vehicles that can be programmed to travel nearly anywhere, without the need for a driver to maneuver in traffic. At least three states currently allow for the testing of these vehicles, and more will probably follow suit as they be-come more common.
Around 60 people attended a town hall meeting last week in Alexandria to voice their opinions on new wa-ter sustainability guidelines the DNR is charged with enforcing. Most were farmers who irrigate their cropland and are directly affected by the rules. Sev-eral DNR staffers were also on hand to talk about those rules and how they are trying to implement them. It was ex-plained that after a record number of applications for large water appropria-tion permits in the past few years, the number has dropped this year. This has allowed the DNR to better handle those applications and take action on them in a more timely fashion.
When a permit is applied for, the DNR responds with one of three colors denoting the status of the application. A red response means the chances of obtaining a water appropriation per-mit are highly unlikely. A yellow color means the DNR has questions about the application, but if certain practices are completed, a permit may be granted. A green response means the application stands a very good chance of being ap-
proved. It was stated, however, that a green response is hardly ever given. A well driller commented that this prac-tice is confusing because most of the applications are returned with a yellow color, meaning more work needs to be done before a permit is granted. And in many cases, just exactly what needs to be done is not clarified.
A DNR spokesperson said that of the approximately 1,000 applications received in the past two years, only 34 were required to undergo what’s known as an aquifer test. That’s when the well is pumped for significant length of time, sometimes for 7 days straight, to determine the draw-down of the well.
A recurring theme among irriga-tors and well drillers is that the DNR requires so much background informa-tion before granting a permit that proj-ects sometimes aren’t worth pursuing because of the high cost and time in-volved. One of those requirements was notifying all well owners within a cer-tain radius and asking questions about their wells. The Legislature changed that process, and from now on, DNR personnel will do that background work.
Judging by the number of folks attending the meeting, interest in this subject is high. More work needs to be done by all those involved to improve the process. The goal of the DNR is to have applications completed within 150 days, and for the most part, that goal is being met. The Legislature should come up with some level of state funding to help with the cost of gath-ering data. For example, I don’t think it should be entirely up to the person seeking a new permit to pay the cost of a required monitoring well.

could ever remember. And this may not necessarily have been a new song. It could have been one that he sang many times before. Thanksgiving and praise were a central part of his life. Recogniz-ing God’s goodness is a predominant theme in the Psalms. But “a new song in his mouth, a new hymn of praise.” What could this possibly mean?
All too often we take God’s good-ness for granted. We expect His deliv-erance from “messy” situations. We ex-pect Him to heal us when we are sick, we expect Him to provide for our finan-cial needs, we expect Him to be with us when we travel. And He is. And He does guide and guard us and give us what we need. And we express our thanks. Usu-ally. But every time God does protect us and provide for our needs is a new act of deliverance. Each day is a new day and each gift a new gift because we have never been where we are today. It’s all new!

By Ruthie FlaaIn 1914, newlyweds Axel and Car-
rie Borgstrom moved into a small farm-house in Upsala, Minnesota. Over 100 years later, that same farmhouse still stands. Since 1984, the Borgstrom’s house has been a monument and mu-seum for the people of Upsala. Inside this home are displayed the remnants of a family’s past life as well as the memo-ries of an entire community.
Dennis Westrich was all smiles as he explained the history and facts be-hind the many different pieces of fur-niture, artifacts and historical objects in the Borgstrom House. Westrich, owner of the Farm Store in Upsala, doesn’t al-ways give the tours of this ancient home, yet he was willing to provide a personal tour and descriptions of the Borgstrom’s old way of life. Available in the house is also a detailed summary of the house and family history written by Dan Hov-land, a member of the Upsala Historical Society. Printed copies of the summary can be purchased upon entering the house for tours.
Having moved to Minnesota from Sweden with his family in 1893, Axel
Borgstrom House tells the story of Upsala’s past
Borgstrom was one of the first members of the small, Upsala community--his fa-ther being among the group of men who founded the town. Over 60 years later, Axel and his wife became members of the historical society and donated their first house together to the society. This began the accumulation of artifacts to put into the house--which would soon be considered a museum--although a majority of the items inside were ones that the Borgstroms had left behind after moving to a new home in town.
With the hard work of the Upsala Area Historical Society and other mem-bers of the town, families can gather to discover classic pieces of 20th century furniture and appliances. In the sum-mer kitchen, an ice box sits against the wall and aged utensils are displayed on the counters. In the livingroom, a record player, typewriter and old pianos can be found. Not only does the Borgstrom’s house contain pieces from their past, but an array of historical pieces which be-long to the city. In the house one can see the first teller’s cage from the old bank, the school’s old drinking fountain and newspaper clippings from over 50 years
ago. During Upsala’s Heritage Day Fes-
tival, the Borgstrom house is open to the public for touring and provides an op-portunity for townspeople to learn about the history of their town and to witness, firsthand, the relics and memories that have been left behind by early com-munity members. While many prefer to look toward the future, the Borgstrom
house provides a chance for people to take a look at the past and form a deeper appreciation for the lives that were once lived--the lives that ultimately formed the community in which many people now live.
More information about the Borg-strom house can be found on the UAHS website http://www.upsala.k12.mn.us/uahs/.

By Jeffrey Gi-tomer
Got attitude? “YES!” You all scream.
A positive one? “YES!” You all scream.
Wanna bet? I’ll bet ev-
ery one of you “thinks” you have a positive attitude, and the same amount of
you have NEVER taken a course in it or studied it.
Let’s go a bit deeper. How much of your success is dependent on your posi-tive attitude? The answer is somewhere between “lots” and “all.”
So 80-100% of your success is de-pendent on your positive attitude, yet you’ve had no formal training. OK, sup-pose you needed surgery and I recom-mend a surgeon with no formal training, but “thinks” he can do a great job. Get it?
You can start by reading and study-ing these four books:
1. Think and Grow Rich -- Napo-leon Hill
2. How to Win Friends and Influ-ence People -- Dale Carnegie
3. How to Stop Worrying and Start Living -- Dale Carnegie
4. The Power of Positive Thinking -- Norman Vincent Peale
Me personally? I read two pages from these books every day. I’ve been doing attitude reading, watching, listen-ing, studying, and practicing for fifteen minutes a day for thirty-five years. I don’t know if it’s working yet. I’m go-ing to do it another thirty-five years, and then that’s it, I’m going to quit.
If you want attitude, first study the science of it.
If you want wealth, first build a wealth of knowledge.
I also recommend that you enroll in the nearest Dale Carnegie program. Carnegie courses are timeless and will provide a great attitude foundation.
But I know you. You want it NOW and you want it FREE. OK, here are 19.5 attitude gems I’ve picked up along the way that I recommend you read, cut out, copy, share with others, post on your wall, and study in a way that you imple-ment into your “thought and expres-sion” process. They are not in “course” format. They are mental snacks to chew on and digest.
1. Change your input to change your attitude. If you seek a positive mind, you MUST expose yourself to positive information, and hang around positive people. If you want to achieve “posi-tive” you have to surround yourself with it and live it.
2. You were born to win - but you must plan to win, prepare to win, then you can expect to win. (a famous Zig Ziglar quote)
3. The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare to win. (Vince Lom-bardi, famous coach)
4. You will get whatever you want if you help enough people get whatever they want. (a quote that many claim to have said - it doesn’t matter who said it -- just live it)
5. Make every day as productive
as the day before you go on vacation. That’s a day that EVERYTHING gets done.
6. Ignore people who tell you “you can’t.” (except your boss). People will try to rain on your parade because they have no parade of their own.
7. If you have nothing nice to say about someone, say nothing. (a famous quote said by your mother)
8. Don’t dwell on (whine about) the problem, concentrate on the solution. Resolve how you can, not lament why you can’t.
9. Forgive and go forward. Grudge BLOCKS positive. Until you clear the past you are destined to repeat it.
10. Self-talk equals self-perfor-mance. Look at any athlete – self-talk is a crucial part of their expected positive performance.
11. What is the picture you have of yourself? That is what you will become. Spend 15 minutes a day focusing on a positive picture.
12. What you do off the job deter-mines what you are likely to do on the job. Uh oh.
13. Strengthen your weaknesses and strengthen your strengths at the same time. Combine positive with negative for better personal development results
14. Failure is an event, not a person. Think of failure as “it,” not “me.”
15. It’s not what happens to you…It’s what you do with what happens to you. Attitude manifests itself in your RESPONSE to events.
16. Every obstacle presents an opportunity. If you’re looking for it. “Revel” and “lament” are choices. Your choices.
17. Hard work makes luck. Noth-ing affects positive circumstance and results more than hard work.
18. How many of your problems are cured with ten grand? A question my dad once asked me as I lamented my problems. If money makes your prob-lem go away, attitude makes them go away as well.
19. It’s what you say… AND how you say it. The tone of your verbiage determines the atmosphere of your en-vironment.

DNR QuestionBy Jennifer Corcoran, DNR forestry research analysis specialist
Q: How do forests contribute to clean water?
A: Forests are natural water filters. Rain clings to the leaves and bark of trees, slowing the movement of rain to the ground. The slower moving rain picks up less sediment when it hits the soil. Additionally, forest soils contain large pore spaces that trap sediments and pollutants. As a result, rainwater that leaves a forest to recharge ground-water or flow into lakes and rivers is clean.
Keeping managed forests on the landscape is one of the best ways to protect drinking water and can reduce the cost of water treatment by up to 65 percent when compared to paved or barren land. For more information, visit: http://files.dnr.state.mn.us/publi-cations/forestry/cleanwater.pdf.
