Our lives ba-sically change in two ways -- the people we meet and the books we read

My friend, the late Charles “Tremendous” Jones shared this notion with me several years ago, and as an author, I took it as both a

compliment and a challenge.In fact, I thought it was so powerful

that I use it in all my speeches.And I have first-hand experience on

the importance of books in our lives. My first book, “Swim with the Sharks With-out Being Eaten Alive” sold a lot of cop-ies. But the best part was the feedback from readers: Thousands told me the book has changed their lives. Again, I am both honored and daunted. That was an enormous responsibility to assume.

Let me share the biggest secret of a really life-changing book: If you have found a book that taught you a tremen-dous amount, you need to go back and read that book three, five, seven and 10 years later after you’ve had different experiences. It is not enough to simply read a motivational self-help book. You have to study it, underline it, highlight it and take notes. Good books should nev-er be put away permanently.

It doesn’t matter whether you are a paper-and-ink fan or a Kindle/Nook devotee, books are your ticket to places you can only dream of. A good read can stretch your imagination and spark your creativity. Books inspire, comfort, teach and entertain. Inscribed on the Thomas Jefferson Building at the Library of Con-gress are the first eight words of a quo-tation by famed American author Henry David Thoreau, “Books are the treasured wealth of the world ...”

Reading researcher Kylene Beers of Yale University says something hap-pens to U.S. kids as they make their way through school. “About 100 percent of first-graders walk in on the first day and are interested in this thing called reading,” she says. “Eighty percent of graduation high school seniors tell us thy will never again voluntarily read another book.”

J. K. Rowling is credited with reviv-ing the interest in reading with the fabu-lously popular Harry Potter series, and the Twilight books hooked legions of fans. There is no lack of good reading material. And yet statistics tell us that the average person reads just three books a year.

Three books! Not only am I an ad-vocate of reading everything I can get my hands on, I am a huge proponent of lifelong learning. When your career or family schedules preclude enrolling in a class, books provide another avenue. Read to expand your mind. Read for fun. Read because you are interested in something -- and read to become more interesting. You’ll never waste your time if you are reading!

American writer Clarence Day said, “The world of books is the most remark-able creation of man. Nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments fall; na-tions perish; civilizations grow old and

die out; and, after an era of darkness, new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again, and yet live on, still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling men’s hearts of the hearts of men centuries dead.”

Individuals read to live life to its fullest, to earn a living, to understand what is going on in the world, and to benefit from the accumulated knowledge of civilization, according to a U.S. De-partment of Education study by Bernice Cullinan of New York University. Even the benefits of democracy and the capac-ity to govern ourselves successfully de-pend on reading.

Another angle on the benefits of reading good books came from the late Norman Cousins, editor and writer for the Saturday Review, who said: “There is a simple non-medical technique for in-creasing longevity. This system goes by the name of ‘book.’ Through it, man can live hundreds of lifetimes in one.

“What is more, he may enjoy fabu-lous options. He can live in any age of his choosing. He can take possession of an experience. He can live inside the mind of any man who has recorded an interesting thought, any man who has opened up new slices of knowledge, any man who has engaged in depths of feel-ing or awareness beyond the scope of most mortals. This is what good books are all about.”

Mackay’s Moral: A person with-out knowledge is like a house without a foundation.

Saralee continued to pg 6

By Saralee PerelFor parents

who watch their children grow and pass by countless variet-ies of milestones, the sentiment is both bitter and sweet. One mile-stone is college.

September, much as we’d like to deny it, is coming pretty soon. Many children will be leaving home for the first time. I can’t fathom how parents go through this without falling apart. Next month, I’m losing a young girl as she grows up and therefore away from me. And I’m falling to pieces.

She’s an author who’s been under my wing as I’ve helped her find her path in the world of writing. I’m finally ad-mitting that she never needed me in the first place. She thought she did. I thought she did. I cherished my role as her men-tor. I loved our back and forths about this word or that. Eventually our connection touched on more topics than just writing.

In my heart, I think of her as the child I never had. Oh heck; I’ll just say it. I love her.

Recently, when she asked for my guidance on a beautiful essay, I made a decision without telling her. I didn’t examine every single word, comma and period like I usually do with the meticu-lous precision of a mental microscope. Instead, I glanced at it briefly, didn’t change anything, and thought, ‘’Let’s see how she does on her own.’’

She did great. Later, while biking with my hus-

band, Bob, I told him I was grief-strick-en. ‘’She doesn’t need me anymore.’’

‘’That’s wonderful.’’ ‘’But I don’t want to let her go.’’ ‘’You know it’s best for her.’’ I remember how heart-wrenching it

was for my mother when I first went to college. I so wish I hadn’t waited until after her death to find the compassion I should have found back then. But I guess most teenagers are self-absorbed and ex-cited about leaving. I have to believe that or I’ll never forgive myself.

Mom and I were at a shop buying stunning outfits for me. As we stood at the counter to pay, she began crying. The

If Only Children Didn’t Grow Upclerk asked what was wrong. Mom tried to stop her tears, but she couldn’t. She managed to get out the words, ‘’My little girl is going to college.’’ The woman touched Mom’s hand and said something like, ‘’I went through it too.’’ I couldn’t understand the depth of my mom’s grief. But now that my little writer ‘’daughter’’ friend is on her own, I do.

When I came home on school breaks, I couldn’t wait to go back - to be with my friends and away from my parents’ control. I didn’t realize I was whistling when Mom sadly said, ‘’You always whistle the night before you’re leaving home.’’ I didn’t mean to break her heart. I wish I hadn’t.

So how does a parent deal with a child who’s growing up and away? There must be a way of coming out on the other side of this phase in a positive fashion. When I was a practicing thera-pist, I learned a seemingly odd truth. We can feel entirely conflicting emotions at the very same moment. And we need to accept them equally.

My young writer’s mom, Nancy, is my dear friend. But her sadness is dif-ferent from mine. Her daughter will be leaving for college. Nancy says, ‘’I have so many mixed feelings. I’m immensely proud of her; how smart and talented she is; how confident she is about going and making something of herself.’’ But then, with tears forming, she said, ‘’I worry about her safety in a big city. I worry

Sauk Rapids, MN

By Don Brown Plans are in full swing as members

of the Central Minnesota Heritage Club of Burtrum prepare for the annual “Heri-tage Days” celebration on August 27th and 28th. This event, which began in 2008, is held on the Club grounds, 1/4 mile Northwest of Burtrum on County Road 13.

Each year, activities from years gone by are featured with the saw mill, threshing and machinery from the past displayed. A parade, flea market, mu-sic, food concessions, garden tractor/4 wheeler pull and tractor games are planned. The top prize in the raffle will be $750 cash. Tickets can be purchased from any club member.

Another community project the group has undertaken is the lawn main-tenance of a neglected two acre cemetery on the east side of Buck Lake in Bur-hamville Township. The land was origi-nally deeded to an area church in 1902

Kringen’s Korner - By Jon Kringen, LPGE SuperintendentIs the School borrowing money?:

Last week’s edition of the Long Prai-rie Leader had a story about the school that while accurate may have misled the public about the LPGE School District’s need to borrow money; this week’s col-umn will address this issue.

First and foremost, your local school district has adequate reserves and the expected cash flow should allow us to meet all of our obligations on a timely basis. The potential problem is that “the state solution” to their budget deficit is to withhold 40% of our funding during this and future school years. I suspect that the average household in our district would be concerned about cash flow and meeting future obligations if their source of income were reduced by 40% with a promise to pay next year; that is the im-pact of the aid shift implemented by the State of Minnesota.

Will your school district need to borrow money? There is the potential that in the spring, we may experience a temporary cash flow problem and we are determining the following:

1. Will we need to borrow?2. If so, how much?3. What is the least expensive way

to do this?We are simply exploring our options

and want to be prepared if the situation arises later this school year; this is sim-ply a fiscally prudent action on the part of the district and any attempt to spin

this as a negative is simply not accurate. We would not be doing our jobs if we did not prepare for this potential prob-lem well in advance.

Indeed, schools in our immediate area have been borrowing money in the past few years and many more schools will be borrowing this year. The prob-lem lies with the Minnesota State Gov-ernment that balanced their budget on the backs of local schools as well as city and county governments. Our Governor and Legislators did not resolve the state budget problem; they passed it on to lo-cal government entities.

The CapX2020 utilities are using a helicopter for work on the Monticello-St. Cloud 345 kilovolt (kV) transmission line project which started Tuesday, Au-gust 16.

A helicopter will be flying in close proximity to the new transmission line structures along Interstate 94 between Monticello and St. Cloud. It will assist in the stringing of transmission conductor (wire) from structure to structure as well as for installing supporting hardware. Most transmission line work will be per-formed without touching the ground.

Implosive connectors will also be used in the power line construction to splice transmission conductor joints. The split second detonation creates a flash and a loud boom near the top of the transmission structure. Implosive con-nectors produce a smoother, stronger

Helicopter involved in construction work along I-94 between Monticello and St. Cloud

and more electrically efficient connec-tion. The connectors also can signifi-cantly reduce construction time, result-ing in fewer environmental impacts and lower project costs.

The helicopter and implosive con-nector work is expected to last through October.

Motorists are reminded to keep their eyes on the road. Don’t stop. Don’t gawk. Drive safely.

The Monticello-St. Cloud project is a double circuit capable 345 kV trans-mission line between the new Quarry Substation west of St. Cloud and the existing Monticello Substation. Single pole steel structures were predominant-ly used to reduce land impacts and are spaced about five per mile. The 28-mile line is expected to be in service by late 2011.

A cold wind was howling and a chilling rain was falling when a doctor’s telephone rang.

“My wife is sick,” cried a husband. “She needs you right away.”

“I’ll be glad to come,” said the doc-tor, “but my car’s in the shop. Will you come and get me?”

“What,” he asked, “in this terrible weather? Never!”

So often we expect others to hurt themselves to help us, but we’re not willing to sacrifice to serve them. We spell service as “serve us.”

But the Bible says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Each of you should look not only at your own interests, but also at the interests of oth-ers.”

Dog ProjectTodd County 4-H Dog Project

Members participated in the 4-H Dog Show on Wednesday evening, July 27, at the Todd County Fair.

4-H’ers who received blue ribbons at the County 4-H Dog Show and have completed the fourth grade are now eligible to show at the State 4-H Dog Show in September. Local Todd County 4-H’er qualifying for the State Show is Megan Hollermann, Burtrum Boosters/Highland.

A young Marine and his commanding officer board a train headed to a recruiting mission. They can find no place to sit except for two seats right across the aisle from a young woman and her grandmother.

After a while, it is obvious that the young woman and the young Marine are interested in each other because they are giving each other “looks.” Soon the train passes into a tunnel and it is pitch black. There is a sound of the smack of a kiss followed by the sound of the smack of a slap. When the train emerges from the tunnel, the four sit there without saying a word.

The grandmother is thinking to herself: “It was very brash for that young Marine to kiss my granddaughter, but I’m glad she slapped him.”

The commanding officer is sitting there thinking: “I didn’t think the young Marine was brave enough to kiss the girl, but I sure wish she hadn’t missed him when she slapped and hit me!”

The young woman was sitting and thinking: “I’m glad the Marine kissed me, but I wish my grandmother had not slapped him!”

The young Marine sat there with a satisfied smile on his face. He thought to himself: “Life is good. When does a guy have the chance to kiss a beautiful girl and slap his commanding officer all at the same time?!”
