In 1935, Charles Darrow brought his board game invention to Parker Brothers. The experts at Parker Brothers rejected the game, Monopoly, for “containing fifty-two fundamental errors.”
The persistent Charles Darrow
had spent the year after his rejection demonstrating the potential success of the game by selling numerous editions of the board game himself. Ironically, in 1936, Darrow was well-received by the embarrassed Parker Brothers, which eventually helped make the unemployed heating engineer from Germantown, Pennsylvania, a multi-millionaire.
Since that time, over 100 million copies of Monopoly have been sold in 31 countries. Each year Parker Brother prints more than $40 billion worth of
Monopoly money - more than twice the amount printed annually by the U.S. Mint. Monopoly’s success has produced 3.2 billion of those little green houses, enough to circle the globe.
Charles Darrow was hardly the first or last person who showed persistence and had a strong belief in his product. Many famous Americans have packed up their product and sold it out of the trunk of their car.
Phil Knight, founder of Nike, sold his first shoes from the trunk of his green Plymouth Valiant. Curt Carlson, founder of Carlson, owner of the world’s largest travel company, Radisson Hotels and TGI Fridays restaurants, sold his first Gold Bond trading stamps out of his car.
Wayne Dyer wrote his first book, “Your Erroneous Zones” in 1976. He told me that when his publisher didn’t want to promote the book, he felt so strongly that he decided to sell it himself. Dyer purchased the remaining copies and drove from New York to California, stopping at bookstores along the way and sleeping in the car. He also did as much media as he could. One night while doing a 2 a.m. radio interview, one of the listeners was Johnny Carson. He booked Dyer on “The Tonight Show,” and the rest is history. Dyer has since sold more than Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3
35 million copies of “Your Erroneous Zones” and written over 30 other books.
Few people had as difficult a time getting their invention accepted as Alexander Graham Bell. Even U.S. President Rutherford Hayes said of the telephone in 1876, “… who would ever want to use them?”
Chester Carlson, another young inventor, took his idea to 20 big corporations in the 1940s. After seven years of rejections, he was able to persuade Haloid, a small Rochester, New York company, to purchase the rights to his electrostatic paper- copying process. Haloid has since become Xerox Corporation.
Bette Nesmith Graham, in the 1950s, began using white, water-based tempera paint and a thin paintbrush to cover her typing errors. She sold her first bottle, originally called Mistake Out, in 1956. Graham later patented the office product. After starting out with just 100 bottles a month in sales, Liquid Paper was selling 25 million bottles a year when Graham sold it for a reported $47.5 million in 1979.

In 1927 the head instructor of the John Murray Anderson Drama School, instructed student Lucille Ball, to “Try any other profession. Any other.” I wonder what would have made him say “I Love Lucy”?
Buddy Holly was fired from the Decca record label in 1956 by Paul Cohen, who was known as Nashville’s “artists and repertoire man.” Cohen called Holly “the biggest no-talent I ever worked with.”
Chuck Yeager, the famous test pilot, threw up all over the back seat on his first flight as a passenger. He vowed never to go back up again, but eventually he reconsidered. Then he became the first man to break the sound barrier.
These are all examples of ordinary people with extraordinary persistence. None of these folks were famous or rich or even particularly successful before their big breaks.
We’ve all heard it before, but there really is no substitute for persistence. In fact, persistence is sometimes as important as talent. It must come from within. You either want it or you don’t. Giving up is not an option.
I remember when I was first starting out and asking a colleague I respected how many sales calls he would make on a prospect before giving up. He told me, “It depends on which one of us dies first.”
Confucius said, “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.”
Don’t be discouraged. It’s often the last key in the bunch that opens the lock.

David William EvansMass of
Christian Burial was held, Monday, June 9th at St. Benedict’s Catholic Church in Avon for David William Evans who died Wednesday evening, June 4, 2014 at his home in his loving wife’s arms after a courageous battle
with lung cancer. Rev. Scott Pogatchnik and Rev. Alan Wielinski celebrated mass followed by burial in the parish cemetery.
Dave was born to Robley and Rita (Flaherty). He grew up in Albany attending Holy Family Elementary and Albany High School. He went on to play football at St. John’s University and then attended St. Cloud State University. He married his high-school sweetheart, Geralyn Nathe, on August 4, 1979. Shortly after his youngest son was born, he became a rural route carrier for the United States Postal Service. He loved going to work each day, delivering peoples’ dreams in the form of college acceptances, wedding invitations, and birthday cards. He was a member of St. Benedict’s Catholic Church, Catholic United Financial, and the Postal Union and Guild. He served on the Avon City Council and was a supporter of Castaway retreats
and Albany Athletics. He cherished family time, including playing cards, Monopoly, and Risk; enjoying the blessing of living on Upper Spunk Lake; grilling - especially red meat; teaching many nieces and nephews to water ski; tending to the family garden; and encouraging his sons in their lives - especially sports. Dave was a great role model for his sons, teaching them to make a difference in the world and to know God’s love through his life and faithfulness. He was a witty, patient, honest, loving, and humble man. He enjoyed philosophical conversations and cared about the meaning of life. Dave’s battle with cancer was heroic, and he vowed to never, ever give up. He inspired us all to live and enjoy every day. “Life is Good” was his motto. While trusting in his eternal rest, he will be dearly missed.
David is survived by his loving wife of 34 years, Geralyn Nathe-Evans; sons, Michael David of Detroit Lakes, Matthew David and Luke David of Avon; mother, Rita of St. Cloud; siblings, Robley (Joan) of Mendota Heights, Bill (Carol) of Chesterfield, MO, Mary Kay (Phil) Sinner of Renville; his Nathe family of Bev Nathe, Mary (Chuck) Merchant, David (Amy) Nathe, Vicki (Steve) Dawson, Paul Nathe, and Nicole (Jason) Ramstad; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his dad Bob, father-in-law Gerry Nathe, and two nephews.

handle my 401(k) when moving from one job to another?
-TracyDear Tracy,
I would roll it to an IRA. Your new company, if you move it there, will have limited choices for your 401(k). You’d
also probably have a lengthy waiting period for verification and the potential add-on fees and taxes.
Plus, with an IRA you can cash it out if something really bad happens. But I rarely ever advise people to cash out their IRAs. The only exceptions are extreme cases, like to avoid bankruptcy or foreclosure. Even then, hardship withdrawals are very difficult to get. And again, this kind of thing should never be done except in an absolute, worst-case scenario.
Just roll your money into a traditional IRA, Tracy. It’s called a direct transfer IRA, and that way there will be no taxes on it. You want the money to go directly from the 401(k) to the IRA. Then, you’ll have the freedom to choose from about 8,000 mutual funds and move the money around, if you like.
In other words, you’re in control. That’s the way it should be when it comes to your money!
-DaveDear Dave,
We have three children, ages 15, 10 and nine. With our oldest starting high school and just being a teenager, we’re spending lots more money on her than the others. It’s almost like she’s the favorite child. Should we spend more on the other kids to make things seem a little more fair?
-JulieDear Julie,
I don’t think so. In five or six years, it’ll be their turn and you guys will be spending that kind of money on them, too. That’s the way it is with teens.
Here’s a question for you. When the 15-year-old is 23, and you’re buying prom dresses and all the other teenage stuff for the younger kids, are you going
to turn around and give the older child extra money just to “even things up”? Of course not—that would be silly. She had her moment in the sun, and now it’s their turn.
Just make sure you hug on all of them equally, and let them know you love them!
-DaveDear Dave,
Would it be okay to go on a tenth anniversary honeymoon while we’re working on our debt snowball?
-KarenDear Karen,
I don’t think so. I mean, it’s not against the law or anything like that. I just don’t think it’s a good idea. I wouldn’t do it, and I wouldn’t suggest taking the trip then rolling it into your debt snowball either. I know this probably sounds mean, but I’m just not a big romantic when it comes to people who are deeply in debt.
A rare exception may be a situation where you have a really small debt snowball and a nice, fat income. But most people in your shoes have average incomes and mountains of debt. On top of that, they want to take a big celebration vacation? I would say no.
At some point you have to stop the spending and concentrate on getting your finances in order. Besides, you’ve got a lifetime together to take romantic vacations and celebrate your marriage. Just wait until you can afford something like that. Trust me, you’ll enjoy it even more!

CMCU Receives Training Grant
Central Minnesota Credit Union (CMCU), has received a training grant through The Minnesota Job Skills Part-nership Program (MJSP), a division of the Minnesota Department of Employ-ment and Economic Development. A grant signing ceremony was held on May 29 at the Administration Center of CMCU with members of the MJSP board of directors, CMCU board of directors and staff, and community members.
The grant will assist CMCU in devel-oping a CMCU Leadership and Financial Leadership training development pro-gram. CMCU will be working with the Alexandria Technical and Community College to redesign current curriculum and develop new courses to complete the internal Leadership and Financial Lead-ership development program. “Our cul-ture empowers employees to be involved in leadership and the financial planning process, which is why we are developing the leadership and financial education for our current and future leaders,” said Na-dine Rieland, Vice President of Human Resources at CMCU. Employees will learn the skills that are a necessary part of management at CMCU. Rieland con-tinues, “The increased knowledge of the CMCU team, in direct regards to leader-ship and finance, will lead to increased strength, service, and growth of the orga-

nization, employees, members, and com-munity.”
Paul Moe, MJSP Director presented the grant to CMCU at the signing cere-mony. “The MJSP has provided grants to many top employers in the state of Min-nesota. We are happy to now offer one to CMCU,” said Moe. The MJSP grant award is $228,760, and will be completed over the next three years.
CMCU is a 75 year old member-owned financial cooperative that offers a complete line of financial services at branch offices located in Melrose, Al-bany, Grey Eagle, Freeport, Paynesville, Sauk Centre, St. Joseph, Cold Spring, Long Prairie, Avon, Belgrade, New York Mills, Perham, Moorhead, Little Falls and Wadena; as well as by phone, online at myCMCU.org and on your mobile phone at m.myCMCU.org.
Swanville Schools nominated teachers Aaron Gapinski and Margaret Peterson for the NJPA Teachers of Excellence Award. They attended a banquet in Staples where
Swanville NJPA Teachers of Excellencethey were honored along with other teach-ers from the area.
Aaron teaches a 3rd/4th grade combi-nation grade this year, and has taught 3rd grade for several years. He is very passion-ate about teaching, and is very committed to his students. He is always willing to try new things, and is one of the leaders in the elementary on the Response to Intervention Committee and has helped improve our reading program.
Margaret is the high school math teach-er. Traditionally, she has taught the upper level math, but in recent years, she has had all levels and has adapted well. She also teaches college math classes to our students and other schools via interactive television. She also really cares about her students.
Congratulations Aaron and Margaret!

Thought for the week:
STRANGE BREED by Steve Langille
Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson
Sen. Torrey Westrom and I will be holding a series of town hall meetings this week in the dis-trict. These gath-erings provide a good opportunity for constituents to ask questions and give their viewpoints on various issues
after Sen. Westrom and I give brief wrap-ups of the legislative session just completed. The meetings are scheduled for Thursday, June 12 and will be held in Glenwood, Sauk Centre and Mel-rose. We’ll start off at the Pizza Ranch in Glenwood at 1 p.m. on Thursday, and then be in Sauk Centre around 2:45 for a meeting at the Lynx Golf Course club-house. The final town hall is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Arvig Building on Main Street in Melrose. Hope to see you at one of the meetings!
It appears there wasn’t enough dam-age to public infrastructure from recent heavy rains in western Stearns County to qualify for disaster aid from the state. I was in contact with the governor’s office late last week and learned that $265,000 is the thresh hold for such a declaration. According to Emergency Management in Stearns County, along with the High-
way Department, most of the public damage was limited to several county and township roads being washed out, which have already been repaired. Jo-anna Dornfeld of the governor’s office said there are strict requirements for un-insured public property that must be met before such declarations can be issued. And, at least so far, that number has not been met.
It appears the biggest loss from those heavy rains, up to 10 inches or more in some locations, may be top soil from farm fields. Erosion losses, espe-cially on some hilly ground, were large, and many road ditches have deposits of silt and other debris. Fields that were just planted are most vulnerable as there is nothing to hold the excess water once it starts moving.
Another component of loss for farmers will come from lost production. Large areas of fields are drowned out, and many fields have yet to be planted. The crop insurance deadline for corn has long since passed, while the last day to plant soybeans and still qualify for full coverage is this week, June 10. There is no official number yet for Minnesota as to how many acres will go unplanted this year, although one estimate I heard over the weekend is 10 percent on a statewide basis.

David had no fear of being hon-est. He faced life with an openness that allowed him to vent his feelings, state his fears, express his desires, and claim God’s promises.
“Keep me safe, O God!” is the way David begins Psalm 16. And then states immediately that he, at that moment, came to Him for refuge: “In you I take refuge.” He did not say that he took ref-uge in God in the past or that he planned on taking refuge in God in the future. In-deed not. Something was threatening him at that very moment and he immediately went to God for help.
Sometimes we wait before we go to God with our needs. We believe that we are capable of handling our fears and fail-ures by ourselves. We often think that we can cover up our mistakes and faults. But there is nothing in us or about us or has come from us that is beyond God’s love, mercy and power. He knows who we are, sees us as we are and understands what we are going through and is waiting for our call for help.
The word keep as used in this Psalm can also be interpreted to mean watch over - as a shepherd watches over his flock, or as a guard who keeps watch over the prisoners he is charged to control and contain.
David knew the responsibilities of shepherds first-hand. If anything hap-pened to the sheep, the shepherd would be held accountable. He also knew, as a king, that if prisoners escaped, an entire kingdom could be damaged or destroyed. David knew Who to trust!
Town Hall Meetings; Assessing Rain Damage
well as northwestern regions are expe-riencing planting delays, in addition to Stearns County and other areas of cen-tral Minnesota. However, livestock pro-ducers needing feed for their operations will probably continue planting when conditions finally permit, in hopes of salvaging some amount of feed for their animals.
Congratulations to the Funk fam-ily and all those involved for another successful Breakfast on the Farm, held this past Saturday at the Funk Dairy, lo-cated about 10 miles south of Melrose. Despite another round of rain early that morning, 1.5 inches, the event went off well. John and Dorothy, along with their three sons, Greg, Jeff, and Karl, operate the farm along with five full-time and seven part-time employees. Around 600 cows are milked twice a day, a process that takes about 18 hours every day to complete.
Don’t forget the town hall meetings. Hope to see you there.

All of the planning and preparation for the 13th annual Long Prairie Area Relay For Life is complete. The com-mittee has been preparing for this event since January and is now ready for the Relay which will be this Friday, June 13th, 4:00 p.m. until midnight, at the Long Prairie – Grey Eagle High School High School track.
During the day teams will be setting up camp sites along the track and pre-paring for the Relay. At 4:00 p.m. there should be a walker on the track from each team. The Silent Auction will begin at 5:30 p.m. and end at 10:00 p.m.
Chair Angie Berkness will be an-nouncing the program which begins at 7:00 p.m. The presentation of Flags will be led by American Legion Post 12/VFW Post 1140 followed by the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem sung by Dave Anderson. The invoca-tion will be given by Pastor Gary Taylor. This year’s guest speaker is Karl Lang-ford.
Sev Blenkush will then present plaques to the Bronze level sponsors of the Relay. These are sponsors who have contributed at the $1000 level. Notably are the Lions clubs from Browerville, Long Prairie, Grey Eagle - Burtrum, and Swanville who have all been Bronze sponsors for the past 11 years. Notable also is the Coaches vs. Cancer Brower-ville High School contribution of Head Coach Bob Schueller and his wife Joan who lead the effort annually. Participat-ing in the Relay Recess this year were the LP-GE Elementary School and Christ the King Catholic School, Browerville.
Next will be the Survivor Lap. Sur-vivors are listed by name as they walk the track and release balloons after completion of the lap. The 11 registered teams at the Relay then walk the track. There are fewer teams this year but the size limitation of 10 has been eliminated so team size is unlimited.
At dusk the Luminaria Ceremony will begin. Team captains will light the luminaria surrounding the track. These
Long Prairie Area Relay For Life Set for Friday, June 13th
luminaria are in memory of individu-als who have survived cancer or have succumbed to it. It is both inspirational and emotional. The luminaria remain lit throughout the evening while team members walk the track. Snooky Noble and Jeri Nelson will then do the “Empty Table” presentation which depicts the change in daily life after an individual has been taken by cancer. The ceremony will conclude with a prayer by Pastor Taylor.
The rest of the evening each team will have a member on the track at all times until the conclusion of the Relay. DJ4U LeRoy Thompson will provide music throughout the evening. Bob and Bea Clasemann will provide food and beverages and free water will be avail-able. Some teams also sell snacks for fundraisers. Awards will be made at midnight for the team raising the most money and the top individual fund raiser. The CentraCare Health System - Long Prairie ambulance will be available in the event of emergencies.
The Relay For Life is a fund raising event for the American Cancer Society. All funds contributed go to the Society’s mission of fighting cancer. The Relay in-cludes the committee, volunteers, teams, donors and contributors, as well as at-tendees. In the past 12 years the com-mittee has raised $508,440 and is hoping this year to raise at least $40,000. With this support, the American Cancer So-ciety works towards its goal of “having more birthdays.”

Bears in suburbs: DNR says leave them alone unless they’re a threatMosquitoes aren’t the only unwel-
come visitors showing up around the area lately, as several suburban communities recently have reported bears, leading the Minnesota Department of Natural Re-sources to ask for the public’s coopera-tion in dealing with nuisance wildlife.
While a Twin Cities suburb may seem an unlikely place to see a bear, such sightings are not uncommon, especially in the spring. Most bears are young males searching for their own territory after emerging from hibernation and being chased off by their parents. If left alone, they will often move on to an area with fewer people and less opportunity for problems.
Occasionally, however, a bear shows up in a heavily populated area and pres-
ents a public safety threat. Such situa-tions should be reported to the local law enforcement agency, which may need to dispatch the bear. Bears that show up in-side the Interstate 494/694 loop are gen-erally considered a public safety threat because of the dense human population and the amount of roads and traffic.
“A public safety threat is a public safety threat, whether it’s a guy wielding a knife or a startled or frightened large mammal with big teeth and sharp claws in a neighborhood with lots of kids,” said Capt. Greg Salo. “Your first call should be to the local police department. No one likes to see these animals killed just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but sometimes that’s the only real option.”
Salo pointed out that shooting a bear with a tranquilizer dart, then transporting it elsewhere is mostly Hollywood fic-tion. Chemical immobilization requires special equipment, training and access to controlled substances. Most DNR staff don’t have that. Even if they did, the ef-fect of the tranquilizer is not immediate, so a darted bear could run into a crowd or a busy street before passing out. Fur-thermore, finding a suitable place for re-location can be a challenge. Once a bear is habituated to human derived food, it is likely to repeat this feeding behavior if released elsewhere. Sometimes bears don’t recover from the tranquilizing and handling ordeal.
“That kind of stuff looks good in the movies, but it doesn’t work that way in the real world,” Salo said. “What’s more, dealing with one bear like that would wind up taking a conservation of-ficer away from other duties for a day or more at one of our busiest times of year time when Minnesotans are recreating outdoors by the hundreds. We just don’t have the capacity for that. It wouldn’t be the best use of our time.”
The best way to resolve human-bear conflicts is to do everything possible to avoid them in the first place, said Cynthia Osmundson, DNR central region wildlife manager. In areas where bears have been
reported, it’s best to eliminate or secure anything the bear may smell and consider as food: bird feeders, garbage, pet food and grills, for instance. Once a bear finds food at a particular location, it’s likely to return.
If a bear shows up in a backyard, it’s usually best to leave it alone un-til it leaves, Osmundson said. Standing around gawking is risky, and it may cause the bear to take refuge up a tree. If it is treed, remove people and dogs, and wait for it to leave after dark. Bears usually are as wary of humans as we are of them. While bear attacks on humans in Minne-sota are very rare, they should always be treated as a wild animal that’s capable of inflicting serious harm.
“In a way, we’re lucky here in the metro region to have the woods and wet-lands and open spaces that provide habi-tat for so many species of wildlife, even the occasional bear,” Osmundson said. “But living with wildlife means taking a few extra steps if we want to avoid con-flicts. Nobody likes it when a bear has to be put down, least of all the DNR. Hope-fully we can work together to make that a rare occurrence.”
For more information about living with bears and other wildlife, visit www.mndnr.gov, or contact a DNR area wild-life manager.
Motorists in Albany may encounter delays as Highway 238 between Rail-road Avenue and County Road 10 is re-duced to a single lane with flaggers al-lowing one-way, alternating traffic from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, June 17–18.
Shoulder closures and lane shifts will also occur on three of the four ramps at Highway 238 and Interstate 94.
Motorists should slow down, be pre-pared to stop, and must obey flaggers and signs as they approach and navigate each daily work zone.
The closures are needed as crews resurface the roadway and repair the
Highway 238 lane closures in Albany begin June 17
ramps. When complete, the project will help maintain efficient local transporta-tion with a smoother ride and extended road life on Highway 238.
The project is being led by the city of Albany. For more information, con-tact Tim Brawthen, Construction Man-ager, at 320-267-7647.

3rd Annual Lady Slipper Nature RideThe 3rd Annual Lady Slipper Na-
ture Ride is scheduled for Saturday, June 21, 2014 from 8:00 a.m.- 1:00 p.m. +/-on the Lake Wobegon Trails. This ride starts at the Avon Lake Wobegon Trailhead in Avon, Minnesota.
See the Minnesota state flower the Pink and White Showy Lady Slipper in full bloom. Riders will have the oppor-tunity to visit the Saint John’s Outdoor University and the Abbey Arboretum including the “Lean on Me” Stickwork Sculpture completed by artist Patrick Dougherty and many students and vol-unteers from area in September of 2012. Minnesota Master Naturalists will be on site at the Lake Wobegon Trail and at the Arboretum to explain the biologi-cal and natural beauty found in the Avon Hills Area. This is a shorter ride than the Caramel Roll Ride, about 6-20 miles round trip. We’ll have rest stops at the Avon Trailhead and at the Arboretum
on the Prairie near the Stickwork Sculp-ture. The focus is on “leisurely” and en-joying the natural beauty of the area not just getting to the next rest stop!
What’s the money raised used for? The Lake Wobegon Trails Association uses the funds to promote the Lake Wobegon Trails and the communi-ties and businesses along the trail. We also fund projects to improve the trail such as planting trees and shrubs and we maintain a web presence to inform people about the trail and activities on the trail. We also work to gain support from various organizations to support improvements to the trail such as the “Saintly Seven Project” to bring the trail the seven miles from St. Joseph to Waite Park and on to downtown in St. Cloud and the Mississippi River.
Come join us for a ride to see “an orchid like no other in Lake Wobegon”.
Hope to see you on the trails!
