The significantlyreduced funding provided by Con-gress under the continuing resolu-tion for the first six months of thefiscal year makes it impossible forthe agency to provide the overtimeneeded to handle service to thepublic as it has done in the past.

Participating flower shops alongwith Petals and Posts will gathercanned goods for distribution bytheir local food pantries duringNational Hunger and Homeless-ness Awareness Week. During Car-ing Rose Week, November 12 -17,donors who bring two cans of foodcan buy one dozen long-stemmedroses to grace their tables overThanksgiving for only $10. Demand for food from charityproviders is up by as much as 40percent due in part to America re-covering from the greatest eco-nomic downturn since the GreatDepression. To help, florists acrossthe central United States willgather over 32 tons of food forthose in need during Caring RoseWeek November 12 -17. Now in its14th year, the program will likelysurpass three quarters of a millionpounds of donated food over thelife of the event. Florists in each communitychoose a local food-distributioncharity. Collected canned goods arethen distributed through the char-ity to feed those within the com-munity who cannot otherwisemeet their nutritional needs. Coming at the onset ofseasonally cold weather, the pro-gram helps food-distribution pro-grams when families begin to ex-perience the greatest financialpressure. According to Brian Barks,spokesperson for Foodbank for theHeartland in Omaha, Neb., theirmember agencies such as emer-gency shelters and church pantriesare reporting new faces at their lo-cations, often seeking help for thefirst time due to the sour economy.“While the economy is improving,the job status for many peoplewithout work isn’t changing, “ hesaid. “Until it does, there’s no endin sight for the skyrocketing need.” Caring Rose Week’s timing –and that of National Hunger andHomelessness Awareness Week –

Flower Shops to deliver over 32tons of food to those in need

is appropriate. “I think people at this time ofyear are in a reflective mood,” saidMatt Gasson, Executive Directorof Feeding South Dakota, with of-fices in Sioux Falls, Pierre andRapid City and about 450 non-profit affiliates in every countyacross the state.“People reflect onall that we have and are thankfulfor. This is a time of great connec-tion.” Jill Henessy of Flower Box inGraceville, Minn., reports that cus-tomers bring in bags of food ratherthan just the two cans needed.“Their generosity is overwhelming.The food stays local, where weneed it.”

“The fact that we are doingsomething to help so many unfor-tunate people is reason enough toparticipate, especially now,” saidIrene Arnold of Chariton Floral inChariton, Iowa. Tammy Holen at Artistic Am-biance in Minot, N.D., noted thatCaring Rose Week was responsiblefor the largest amount of food everpicked up by the food pantry in theMinot area. Conceived in 1998, Caring RoseWeek was created by HarryWhelden, General Manager ofNorth American Wholesale Floristin Sioux Falls, S.D., and now inRoseville, Minn. A former food-in-dustry businessman, Wheldentook an interest in “NationalHunger and Homelessness Aware-ness Week” sponsored by the Na-tional Coalition for the Homelessand the National Student Cam-paign Against Hunger and Home-lessness which takes place eachyear one week before Thanksgiv-ing. “I am deeply grateful for the par-ticipation of the literally hundredsof flower shops across the GreatPlains for taking the time and en-ergy to help meet this need,” saysWhelden.“It’s a time of year whenfood is needed and appreciated.While many people are buying toysand other Christmas gifts, manyothers across America are withoutfood.” For more information about Na-tional Hunger and HomelessnessAwareness Week, see the NationalCoalition for the Homeless web-site: http://www.nationalhomeless.org/projects/awareness/index.html For more information, contact alocal participating florist who canbe found here: http://www.caringrose.org/Find.php.

This year, give thanks by giving blood Every year, most of us celebrateThanksgiving the same way: fam-ily, feasting and football. These areall good, of course. But there is an-other tradition we might consideradding. We can donate blood! “As we know, hospitals don’tclose for the holidays,” said LoriLiebman, Donor Recruitment Di-rector at United Blood Services. “The blood you donate now cansave someone’s life over theThanksgiving and Christmas sea-sons. Could there be a better gift togive?” Liebman adds, “Donating inNovember is a great way to startthe holiday season because it re-minds us that one person can trulymake a difference.” Good health and safety cannever be taken for granted. Anyday might bring an illness - or anymoment, an injury. Giving blood isone way of pausing to reflect onour good fortune, while helping toassure that those in need of life-saving transfusions can depend onthat blood remaining available.Blood can be stored for only 42days and accidents tend to happenmore frequently during the holi-day season. Influenza is also moreprevalent at this time of the year.This impacts the blood supply be-cause people who are ill cannot do-nate. United Blood Services will be inWall at the Wall High School Gymon Monday, November 19 from10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Make yourappointment to give blood atwww.UnitedBloodServices. org orby calling 342-8585 in Rapid City,996-3688 in Mitchell or 279-2156and ask for Randall Poste or youcan e-mail to www.bloodhero.comand enter code: wallsd.

It is the tiniest bit chilly thismorning. Still some snow on theground, enough to get feet wet butfar from the amount needed forsnow “person” construction! Anna Mae Allread’s daughter,Penny and husband Rodger Rous-sell form Regina, Saskatchewan,arrived Monday, November 5, inWasta. They planned for time withfriends, time for house chores andmost importantly time with AnnaMae who is now in a care facilityin Belle Fourche. Penny said hermom still misses Wasta. When Ithink of Anna Mae, I think of herpleasure in attending the EasterEgg Hunts held here. She espe-cially enjoyed it when she hadgrandkids and great-grandkidscome for the fun. Election turn-out was good. wehad some re-districting of ourprecinct so there were new faces.New faces also because of firsttime eligible voters — MatthewRausch and Tyler Trask. We had people jokingly ask

where was the pie and coffee.

By Pastor Cornelius R. StamGod’s verdict upon the pagan world is that “they are

without excuse, because that, when they knew God, theyglorified Him not as God, neither were thankful…” (Rom.1:20,21).

The Psalmist, on the other hand, declares:“IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS

UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISESUNTO THY NAME, O MOST HIGH:

“TO SHOW FORTH THY LOVINGKINDNESSIN THE MORNING. AND THY FAITHFULNESSEVERY NIGHT” (Psa. 92:1,2).

Believers today have even more to be thankful for thandid the Psalmist, for we can rejoice in what God has donefor us through Christ and His redeeming work. Thus Paul,by divine inspiration, speaks of…

“GIVING THANKS UNTO THE FATHER, WHOHATH MADE US MEET [FIT] TO BE PARTAK-ERS OF THE INHERITANCE OF THE SAINTS INLIGHT:

“WHO HATH DELIVERED US FROM THEPOWER OF DARKNESS, AND HATH TRANS-LATED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF HIS DEARSON” (Col. 1:12,13).

It is because of this “deliverance” that the humblest be-liever can cry with Paul: “Thanks be unto God, who alwayscauseth us to triumph in Christ!” (II Cor. 2:14) and “Thanksbe to God, who giveth us the victory through our LordJesus Christ!” (I Cor. 15:57). How appropriate, then, arethe following exhortations:

“In everything give thanks” (I Thes. 5:18) and“By [Christ], therefore, let us offer the sacrifice ofpraise… giving thanks to His name” (Heb. 13:15).

“For all things are for your sakes, that the abun-dant grace might through the thanksgiving ofmany redound to the glory of God” (II Cor. 4:15).

Most of all, “THANKS BE UNTO GOD FOR HIS UN-SPEAKABLE GIFT,” our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! (IICor. 9:15).

A cut over in the Town’s watersystem was made Friday, and nowWall’s water must go through thecomplicated filtration process be-fore it gets to the water tower. Thefirst part of the filtration process isthe mixing of the unfiltered waterwith a solution of alum, two ouncesfor each 100 gallons, in the first ofthe three large vats. A separatemotor keeps the water in this tankin constant agitation. From herethe water may go into one or theother of the remaining wooden fil-tering tanks. The water passesthrough the deep layers of finesand and into the clear waterbasin below. The chlorinator comesinto action as the water enters thisclear well. This important step inthe purification process is operatedby a small motor which accuratelymeasures the correct amount ofchlorine and forces it by smalldrops into the filtered water. Fromthe clear well a large electric motorpushes the purified water with apump into the water town makingit ready for consumption. The regular monthly meeting ofthe trustees of the Town of Wall

In the last few editions of MMMwe have been dissecting the plan-ning process. We discussed the im-portance of having a mission state-ment and objectives, clarification ofyour vision, being honest withyourself as you assess the currentsituation relating to the plan. Now we are ready to roll up oursleeves and look at the next pivotalstep-or rather three steps-in theplanning process. These steps are: Goals: What are you going to do

to make your mission and visionbecome a reality? Methods: How will you make

your goals become a reality? Timetables/Deadlines: When

do you plan to accomplish yourgoals? I will share with you a couple of

examples out of my business plan,so you can see how simple this canbe. (Notice the what, how andwhen.) Goal # 1: I will follow up on my

customers more effectively thisyear. I will achieve this by makingphone calls, writing letters, andemails, and personally stopping byto visit if possible. This will be donefor two to three hours each busi-ness day. Goal # 2: I will become more ef-fective in my writing skills thisyear. I will achieve this by having

more of my writing critiqued bypeople who will be tough on me,and finish reading, "Writers Inc."as a writing resource and continueto submit my articles and otherwriting to www.writing.com for themembers to view and proof mywriting. I will invest a minimum of10 hours per week working dili-gently on developing my writingskills. I hope this process helps you asyou put the finishing touches onyour goals, plans and expectationsfor the future. As you take a look ateach "Key Result Area" of your lifeand start writing down and/or re-vise the goals, methods and timeta-bles, you will definitely have a bet-ter idea of how you will be able tomake your dreams become a real-ity. Honestly, the real key to plan-ning is just to have fun with it. Donot let planning be a burden or ahassle. Just start spilling yourthoughts and ideas out on paperand then put it into the format thatI have been sharing with you. Note: Next time, I'll share moreabout the planning process, andhow you know how to take yourplans, goals, hopes and dreams andbring them to life.

FINANCIAL FOCUSDON'T OVERLOOk

FINANCIAL RISkS INRETIREMENT

Richard Wahlstromwww.edwardjones.com

When you retire, you may wellhave accomplished some impor-tant financial goals, such as send-ing your children through collegeand paying off your mortgage. Yet,you can’t relax just yet, becauseyour retirement could easily lasttwo or three decades, which meansyou’ll need at least two or threedecades’ worth of income — which,in turn, means you’ll need theproper savings and investmentstrategies in place. And, just as im-portantly, you’ll also need to beaware of the types of risk thatcould threaten these strategies. Let’s consider some of theserisks: •Longevity — None of us cansay for sure how long we’ll live.But it's still important to have anestimate, based on your health andfamily history. So if you think youmay live, for 25 years in retire-ment, you’ll want to withdrawenough from your investmentseach year to enjoy a comfortablelifestyle — but not so much thatyou deplete your funds before the25 years have passed. •Inflation — We’ve experiencedpretty mild inflation over the pastfew years. But over time, even alow rate of inflation can seriouslyerode your purchasing power. To il-lustrate: If your current monthlycosts are $3,000, with only a 3%annual inflation rate, that wouldbe about $4,000 in 10 years. And in

25 years at that same rate, yourmonthly costs will have more thandoubled, to about $6,200. To helpprotect yourself against inflationrisk, it's important to have at leastsome investments that offergrowth potential, rather than onlyowning fixed-income vehicles, suchas certificates of deposit (CDs).You’ll also want to consider sourcesof rising income potential, such asdividend-paying stocks. (Keep inmind, though, that stocks can re-duce or discontinue dividends atany time and are subject to marketfluctuation and loss of principal.) •Market Fluctuations — Whenyou retire and begin taking with-drawals from your investmentportfolio — that is, when you beginselling off investments — you’d ob-viously like prices to be high. Afterall, the classic piece of investmentadvice is “buy low, sell high.” Butit’s impossible to try to “time” themarket this way, as it will alwaysfluctuate. That’s why you maywant to consider sources of incomewhose value is not dependent onwhat’s happening in the financialmarkets. Your financial advisormay be able to recommend invest-ments that can provide you withthis type of income stream. •Low interest rates — Many re-tirees depend on fixed-rate invest-ments for a good portion of theirretirement income — so it’s a realchallenge when interest rates arelow. Consequently, when you re-tire, you’ll certainly need to beaware of the interest-rate environ-ment and the income you can ex-pect from these investments.

Longer-term fixed-rate vehiclesmay be tempting, as they typicallyoffer higher rates than shorter-term ones, but these longer terminvestments may have more pricefluctuation and inflation risk thanshorter-term investments. Conse-quently, you'll still likely need bal-ance between short, intermediate,and long-term investments to pro-vide for a portion of your income inretirement. Retirement can be a rewardingtime in your life. And you can helpmake your retirement years evenmore enjoyable by understandingthe relevant investment risks andtaking steps to address them.

FOCUS ON THE FAMILYwith Dr. JamesDobson

Dr. Dobson Answersyour Questions QUESTION: I'm concernedabout my young daughter's selfishattitude. She recently had a birth-day, and as soon as she was fin-ished unwrapping her gifts shestarted looking around for more!How do I discourage this kind ofbehavior and help her develop agrateful heart? ANSWER: That's an excellentquestion. To a great extent, the an-swer depends upon your daugh-ter's age. Smaller kids — toddlers,preschoolers and even some chil-dren in the lower elementarygrades — may be a bit too young tograsp ideas like unselfishness andgratitude. They're still in theprocess of rounding out their self-concept and grasping what itmeans to be an individual "self" asdistinguished from the rest of theworld around them. If your child isonly five or six years old, there'sprobably no reason to be overlyconcerned about her behavior. Of course, it's a different matterwhere older children are con-cerned. This is where many par-ents come face to face for the firsttime with the impact of our mate-rialistic, consumer-driven culture.Advertisers and toy manufactur-ers aren't in the business of help-ing moms and dads teach conceptslike contentment and thankful-ness. From their perspective, kidsare primarily a lucrative sector ofthe "market," and they designtheir publicity campaigns accord-ingly. As a result, children growingup in our society are conditioned tobelieve that they're entitled tohave everything they want — rightnow! One of the best ways you cancounter this mentality is by mod-eling a grateful and selfless atti-tude yourself. Actions and examplealways speak louder than words.As you go through your daily rou-tine, remember to express thank-fulness to God on a regular basis— even for simple things like aroof over your head and food on thetable. Model gratitude in your re-lationships with others. Make sureto express thankfulness to friends,relatives and co-workers, and notmerely when they do somethingspecial for you. Let people knowhow much you appreciate themjust for who they are. While you'reat it, express that kind of uncondi-tional gratitude to your daughteras well. Another way to help your childdevelop a grateful heart is by serv-ing others who are less fortunate.Volunteer to serve meals at a localrescue mission. Visit shut-ins at anursing home. Consider signing upto sponsor a poor child in a third-world country through a ministrylike World Vision or CompassionInternational. This is a wonderfulway to increase your entire fam-ily's awareness of God's goodnessand graciousness while getting intouch with the needs of peoplearound the world. QUESTION: I'm the kind ofperson who needs to "vent" fromtime to time, but whenever I startairing my emotions, my spousejust cuts me off and gives me a listof things I should do to "fix" myproblems. This is incredibly frus-trating. I'm not looking for "an-swers" — just a listening ear. Howdo I get that across? ANSWER: Talking effectivelywith another person about yourfeelings and emotions is a delicateart. It's especially delicate in mar-riage, where differences in tem-perament and contrasting maleand female styles of communica-tion tend to increase the potentialfor misunderstanding. The bottomline is that both spouses, whethermale or female, pragmatic or intro-spective, "right-brain" or "left-brain," have moments when theysimply want a partner who is ca-pable of listening instead of offer-ing advice. When this doesn't hap-pen, the relationship can feel un-safe and the depth of conversationcan become shallow and unsatisfy-ing.

Genuine intimacy in marriagebegins when each spouse takes re-sponsibility for his or her emotionsand behaviors. This is more likelyto happen in a climate free fromjudgment, defensiveness andblame. If your spouse responds as a"problem solver" when you're sim-ply "venting," thinking out loud orairing your feelings, we suggestthat you counter with a straight-forward and honest reply. Saysomething like, "When I'm not al-lowed to finish my sentences, I feeldiscounted and unimportant toyou. What I need is to be heard." When you have emotions you'dlike to express, it may be helpful topray or journal about them beforedoing anything else. Tell yourheavenly Father how you're feel-ing before you address the issuewith your mate. You'll find comfortin looking to Him first, and this inturn may enable you to voice yourconcerns more circumspectly andwith greater perspective when youfinally get around to talking withyour spouse. If the feelings you want to ex-press seem likely to spark an argu-ment, you can actually pave theway to conflict resolution by own-ing up to your emotions and as-

suming responsibility. Clarifica-tion is essential here, since manyarguments arise out of a misun-derstanding of the actual issue. Ifa husband says, "We're really shorton money this month," it's lessthan helpful for the wife to re-spond defensively by saying, "It'snot my fault!" It would be muchbetter if she were to clarify theissue by asking, "What are you try-ing to tell me?" She may not likethe answer she gets, but at least ameaningful step will have beentaken in the direction of mutualunderstanding. Here are some key principles tobear in mind when talking aboutfeelings: 1) Be respectful and honoringwhen your spouse takes responsi-bility for his or her emotions andbehaviors. 2) Understand that men andwomen have different communica-tion styles. 3) Develop conflict resolutionstrategies before attempting tobare your soul. 4) Be intentional about adoptinga mutually nurturing approach toyour conversations. 5) Commit yourselves to makeyour marriage as enjoyable as pos-sible. 6) Keep a prayer journal to re-lease frustration. All of this sets the stage for safeself-disclosure. What happens nextis up to you and your spouse. Send your questions to Dr. Dob-son, c/o Focus on the Family, POBox 444, Colorado Springs, CO80903.
