James Espeland, President/CEO, First National Bank,Henning, joined more than100 community bankers andthe Independent CommunityBankers of America® (ICBA)this week for a meeting withPresident Donald Trump andother top administration offi-cials at the White House aspart of the 2017 ICBA CapitalSummit. In the meeting withPresident Trump, Vice Presi-dent Mike Pence, NEC Direc-tor Gary Cohn and SmallBusiness Administration chiefLinda McMahon, Trump saidthe administration is focusedon addressing regulatory bur-dens to help community bankslend to small businesses.
“First National Bank wasdeeply honored to be invitedto attend today’s historicmeeting, where the presidentreiterated his support for com-munity banking,” said [JamesEspeland. “First NationalBank is proud to be in Wash-ington this week to advocateon behalf of our industry sowe can continue to serve ourcommunity and be a powerfuljob creator and economicengine right here in Henning,
Ottertail and Battle Lake.”During the meeting com-
munity bankers presentedPresident Trump with a red“Make Community BankingGreat Again” cap. In atten-dance at the meeting werecommunity bankers fromICBA’s Executive Committee,board of directors, FederalDelegate Board, and policycommittees.
More than 1,000 communi-ty bankers are in Washingtonthis week for ICBA’s CapitalSummit to discuss criticalissues facing communitybanks and their communities,such as excessive regulatoryburdens that affect their abili-ty to serve their customers,make loans and create jobs.The industry’s solution to theregulatory burden problem—ICBA’s Plan for Prosperity—is a pro-growth platform toeliminate onerous and unnec-essary regulatory burdens thatinhibit lending and innova-tion.
The summit features meet-ings this week with policy-makers, remarks from speak-ers such as Secretary Mnuchinand House Financial Services
Committee Chairman JebHensarling (R-Texas), and thefirst-ever ICBA Future ofBanking Symposium, whichoffers insights into the futureof the rapidly changing com-munity banking industry.
“The nation’s communitybanks are dedicated to foster-ing local economic and jobgrowth by serving the con-sumers and small businessesin their communities,” saidICBA Chairman ScottHeitkamp, president and CEOof ValueBank Texas in CorpusChristi, Texas. “Unfortunate-ly, one-size-fits-all regulationsare preventing communitybanks from lending and pro-moting prosperity at the locallevel. ICBA looks forward tocontinuing to work with Pres-ident Trump, his administra-tion and Congress to advancecommon-sense reforms thatwill help unleash the econom-ic power of communitybanks.”
More information aboutICBA’s Capital Summit,Future of Banking Sympo-sium, and Plan for Prosperityis available on the ICBA web-site.
Does “Beer and Hymns”sound like something fromMedieval Times? It may wellbe, but it is alive and well inBattle Lake. The origins ofthis phenomenon are thoughtto be in the United Kingdom,and introduced in America at aPortland, Oregon event in2012. Since that time theinterjection of suds or yourrefreshment choice; into ahymn sing, has spread acrossAmerica and many religiousdenominations.
The initial event in BattleLake took place April 7th.Pastor Ali Haugerud fromEagle Lake Lutheran Churchcontacted the Boyums, own-ers of The Rusty Nail with the
proposal to start this a Sundaynight and see what happens.The Boyums graciously host-ed this event and seventy peo-ple sang, ate and imbibed abeverage of their choice. Whatwas advertised as “A SpiritedSing-A-Long” and that “Con-suming Spirits isn’t necessaryfor feeling the spirit”, resultedin a great event. A talentedgroup of musicians led thesinging and kept the musicflowing. Guitarists Laura Ol-son and Luke Monke-Lund-berg provided an upbeat ap-proach to traditional and mod-ern hymns. Laura says that“Beer and Hymns has been somuch fun for me, and I’m gladthat people are enjoying it
too.” An interesting develop-ment occurred when unsus-pecting patrons stopped in fora meal, learned what was hap-pening and joined the singing.
A second event May 7thgrew in size. Percussionist andvocalist Gary Johnson joinedthe musicians and a total of 90singers filled The Rusty Nailfor 90 minutes of fun, fellow-ship and singing. Once againother customers picked up ahymn book and joined in.Many church groups and pas-tors from the Battle Lake areaattended this event.
If you want a sip of the realthing come to The Rusty NailJune 4th at 6:30 p.m. All arewelcome!
Dear Editor:Parents of preschoolers in
the Battle Lake school districtwill soon be registering theirpreschoolers for 3-year-oldand 4-year-old preschool tobegin this fall. After attendingthe last Battle Lake ISD #542Board of Education meeting,it is my understanding thatparents in our school districtwill be given the option ofsending their 3-year-olds topreschool for two days perweek for either a half day (asin the past) or for a full day(which would be a newoption). For parents of 4-year-olds, the options would
be either three half days(which would be a newoption) or three full days perweek. It is my concernregarding the full days foreither of the programs that isprompting this letter.
As a licensed early child-hood educator and parent edu-cator, I obviously believe inthe value of early childhoodeducation. However, I alsosee myself as a child advocateand a strong proponent of pre-serving the precious earlychildhood years (from birth toage five). My issue is not withpreschool itself, which can bevery beneficial for children interms of kindergarten readi-ness and social-emotionalgrowth, but based on researchI read recently, the issue,rather, is with the length of theday proposed for this age ofchildren to be in a structured,large group educational set-
ting. I strongly encourage par-
ents of preschoolers who arecontemplating sending theirchild to school for a full day todo some research regardingthe negative effects of extend-ed school days on preschool-ers. Then make an informeddecision based on the needs ofyour child. On behalf of thechildren, I thank you.

Acts 17:22-311 Peter 3:13-22John 14:15-21
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10 NIV
Perfect Humility
Humility has never been a popular virtue. In traditional societieswith hierarchical structures, those at the top were certainly asapt to lord it over their underlings as we are today. But in con-
temporary society, boasting and celebrating our successes hasbecome almost an art form. Athletes are almost expected to do a sig-nature victory dance after scoring, but those of us who remember thegood old days might enjoy seeing someone who scores and then justgoes about his or her business without undue celebration. Part of theproblem arises, perhaps, because we focus so much on the individualand his or her right to be happy and self-fulfilled that we forget aboutour fellow man. It is ironic that there are more unhappy and unful-filled people now than ever. Focusing on our own happiness and self-fulfillment is virtually a recipe to destroy it, whereas when we focuson others’ well-being we bring about our own as well. Self-abnega-tion, the denial of the self, is really the road to salvation. Those whotry to save their own lives will lose them, but those who work to save others will in the process save their own aswell. Giving up your own will and putting yourself at the disposal of others is the perfection of humility and the road
to blessedness. —Christopher Simon

As I Went Walking Down The StreetWith a little travel experience under my belt, I decided to
explore a few "Wonders of the World" with the grandkids. Onephone call was all it took and arrangements were made. Allinclusive was the only option; a deal just too good to pass up.
On the other end of the line I heard the receptionist say, "Yes,there is a bedroom available. You may spend the night grand-ma!" And so I did.
Up and at em early the next day found me munching Chee-rios with the two little ones. Off for a book read or two, thelaundry pile put away, and coloring in between diaper changestook up most of the morning.
About mid afternoon we voted on a wagon ride, and off wewent. The neighborhood was quiet as we made our way downthe sidewalk. Granted, it was the same path we'd walked sixmonths earlier, but after hibernating all winter, it was as ifthey'd seen it for the first time.
With plenty of time on our hands, we meandered up anddown the cement walkways. Birds chirped and were notablyhigh on the priority list of things to observe. Bark upon treeswas touched, and why some trunks had "springs" around themand others did not, remained a puzzle. Signs upon lamppostswere questionable as little fingers touched, and words uponthem deserved further inquiry.
Young ones passed on bikes and eager greeters from thewagon waved from their half of the sidewalk. When the passingparties didn't acknowledge the wavers, one heart in particulardemonstratively drooped. A quick explanation bringing newperspective helped revive.
"Do you know why they didn't wave back? The rider neededboth hands to hang on so they wouldn't tip over!"
It appeared to buffer as down cast eyes quickly perked. Justas quickly I paused in prayer asking that as they grow, they begranted wisdom to be "wave returners" as they pass by littleones in wagons some day.
Rounding the final turn up the driveway, another little wan-derer was spied about the same size. This one waved back, anda new friend was made.
Having the opportunity to visit the "First Wonder of theWorld," a child's heart, was worth the travel time as weembarked not only into the neighborhood, but into the world ofdiscovery.
Matthew 6:21 puts it plain. "For where your treasure is, thereyour heart will be also."
As we go walking down the streets of life, may we view ourtravels through the eyes of a child whether it be round the blockor round the world. May wonders never cease toamaze! Amen.

Syttende Mai celebrationIn honor of the Norwegian Inde-
pendence day, Good Sam Auxiliarywill host their annual Syttende Maicelebration Wednesday afternoonfrom 2:30 – 4 p.m.
The public is invited to attend andjoin in on the festivities. Auxiliary willbe serving some of the classic Scan-dinavian foods that many of us havecome to enjoy.
Come on over and enjoy sometasty treats and toe-tapping musicprovided by an area celebrity musi-cian. This is a fun event you won’twant to miss!
Coming from a largely German/Bohemian culture before we movedto Battle Lake 20 years ago, Dawnand I have enjoyed learning moreabout the Norwegian culture.
I found some interesting informa-tion about the History of Norway andhow they celebrate their Independ-ence Day in Norway.On May 17, 1814, the Constitution
of Norway was signed at Eidsvol,which included the important decla-ration of Norway as an independentnation.
From its earliest time, the celebra-tion of this event began sponta-neously among students and others.All over Norway, children’s paradeswith an abundance of flags, form thecentral elements of the celebration.
With each school district organiz-ing their own parades, the childrenwind their way through the communi-ty, often making stops to the CityCentre where they participate in themain festivities. Many of the paradesled by the children often make stopsat homes for senior citizens and warmemorials.
The biggest event by far, is themassive Oslo parade involving some100,000 people, including 100schools who will travel to the CityCentre where they will participate inthe main festivities. Winding their waythrough the city, the massive Osloparade with many marching bands,passes the royal palace where theroyal family stand to greet peoplefrom the main balcony.
The parade concludes with thesinging of the National Anthem, “Ja,vi elskeer dette landet,” and the royalanthem “Kongesangen.”
Dawn (wife) and I have beenblessed in having the opportunity tolive here in Battle Lake for the past20 years. During this time, we havemet and developed friendship withmany fine people with a Norwegianheritage. We have learned to love theNorwegian ways and the many spe-cial foods and customs that come tous from Norway.
I came across some interestingfacts about Norway that I did notknow and perhaps they will be ofinterest to you also, as they were tome.Facts about Norway
Gas prices are among the highestin the world, even though Norway isone of the biggest exporters of oil inthe world.
The cheese slicer was invented inNorway. Norway is the 6th largest
country in Europe, but only ranks28th as far as population with 5.2 mil-lion people and Minnesota’s popula-tion being just over 5.3 million peo-ple.
Food stores cannot be open onSundays. If you need groceries then,you would need to get them at thelocal gas station, which are allowedto sell food on Sundays.
Talking about food—food pricesare so high in Norway that many peo-ple travel to Sweden to buy their gro-ceries.
Norway is the birthplace of mod-ern skiing. The word “ski” is Norwe-gian for “piece of wood.” Norway hassome similarity to Minnesota in that ithas at least 450,000 freshwaterlakes, most created by glacial ero-sion.
Most of us can’t live without ourTV’s to keep us up on what’s goingon in the world and to watch ourfavorite sporting events. However, ifyou own a TV in Norway, you have topay an annual fee of $300 USD.
It is also illegal to make noise, likemowing your lawn or using othermotorized machinery on Sundays.This used to be in respect of Sundayas a holy day, but is now a nationallaw. The foregoing facts came from adocument edited and distributed by“True Nomads.”National Nursing Home Week
The celebration with the theme,“Honor the Spirit of America” is on atour Good Sam. It began Sunday,Mothers’ Day with many Moms’ andtheir children gathering in the chapelto enjoy a marvelous Mothers’ Dayservice led by Chaplain Jim.
Monday was a special time forfamilies to gather together with theirmother’s and enjoy a special recogni-tion to celebrate their mothers. TheOverlook Lounge was packed withmothers and children enjoying a spe-cial time together.
For some, the words “nursinghome” and “celebration” just don’t gotogether. For them, a nursing home ismore of a stigma to be overcomethan a cause for celebration.
For others – and this is what westrive for at our Good Sam Campus –they are places where hope is rekin-dled as tireless efforts are directed athelping people reach their highestpracticable level of functioning.
This is a place where God’s loveis shared daily in Word and Deed,where well-being of mind, body andsoul is supported and where all per-sons – residents, families, staff, vol-unteers, vendors – are helped to feelloved, valued and at peace.
Living out our values is what ourstaff and volunteers do every day –during National Nursing Home Week,this takes on a somewhat differentflavor.
Our HUGs, (helping us grow spir-it) committee, comes up with wonder-ful “community building” activities forstaff and volunteers to interactivelyengage in meaningful togethernessin celebration of life.
Special events were staged allweek long to honor the Spirit ofAmerica. Staff wore special themed
monogramed T-Shirts for variousevents.
Staff Bingo with a theme, “red,white & blue” day, hat day, GSS-WayDay, honoring the trait of “honesty”was emphasized by everyone wear-ing something “blue.” A yogurt barwas set up for special enjoyment andThursday’s event was MinnesotaTwins Day – with a tail-gate partycomplete with grilled hot dogs, chipsand a cookie. Friday was T-Shirts andJeans Day with pizza, pop and ice-cream bars.
Lots of fun was enjoyed by all par-ticipating and the joyful minglingthroughout all the activities with staffand residents. We are a family—all ofus, residents and staff.
We take very seriously this oppor-tunity to make a difference in our res-idents lives. As one walks throughour home the sound of laughter andpleasant mingling voices will create ahappy buzz throughout the neighbor-hoods. That’s the way it should be ina happy home. Nurses week
May 6–12 is National NursesWeek. The American Nurses Associ-ation has designated 2017 as the“Year of the Healthy Nurse.”
This years’ theme, “Nursing: theBalance of Mind, Body, and Spirit,” isall about celebrating nurses who leadthe charge for health and wellness.
It may interest you that accordingto the Board of Nursing, there are66,150 Registered Nurses who areactively engaged in nursing work inMinnesota.
That would be a ratio of 1,013nurses for every 10,000 residents.The compares very favorably with thenational ratio which is 818 nurses forevery 10,000 people.
In addition to licensed Registerednurses, there are 22,764 LicensedPractical Nurses actively working inMinnesota.
We are fortunate that at our GoodSamaritan Campus we are blessedto have 21 terrific nurses on staff,including RN and LPN category,sharing God’s love in Word and Deedwith all of our residents of the nursinghome and the senior housing apart-ments.
Wednesday morning at our dailystand-up meeting, I asked one of ourstaff where we would be if we had nonurses. The answer came back,“none of us would be here.”
We are grateful for each memberof our staff and this week we take ourhats off to our nurses. They are veryspecial people for which all of us aredeeply grateful. Darcy Maland, RN, isour Director of Nursing who provideskey leadership for nursing care serv-ices to our residents.Mother’s Day humor
One early morning, a lady went into wake up her son. “Wake up, son—it’s time to go to school!”
Son: “But why Mon? I don’t wantto go .”
Mom: “Give me two reasons whyyou don’t want to go.”
Son: “Well, the kids hate me forone, and the teachers hate me too!”
Mom: “Oh, that’s no reason to notgo to school. Come on now and getready.”
Son: “Give me two good reasonswhy I should go to school.”
Mom: “Well, for one, you’re 52years old. And for another, you’re thePrincipal!”

Mt. Pleasant Cemetery TourThe Otter Tail County Historical Society is sponsoring a tour
of Mt. Pleasant Cemetery on Friday, May 26, 7 p.m.In 1865, a scouting party of six families and three single men
came upon an area between Clitherall Lake and West BattleLake. They were members of the Church of Jesus Christ, a Mor-mon splinter group led by Alpheus Cutler. They were living inManti, Iowa until a vision by Cutler directed them to Minnesotato seek a swath of land between two lakes. Even though he haddied some months earlier, Cutler’s dream was fulfilled with theformation of Clitherall, Otter Tail County’s first permanent set-tlement.
Situated on a hill overlooking Clitherall Lake, Mt. Pleasant isthe resting place of many Cutleries. According to the OldClitherall Storybook, “when many of the first graves were made,care was not taken to arrange them in perfect rows, the treesgrowing naturally among the graves often preventing their beingplaced more orderly.”
Join OTCHS in this serene setting as we weave together thehistory of the individuals who formed Clitherall. Cost of the touris $6. For more information contact OTCHS.

The Otter Tail County His-torical Society and Save theTrinity are sponsoring a WorldWar I Cemetery Tour at Trini-ty Cemetery on Wednesday,May 24, 6:30 p.m.
One hundred years ago,April 6, 1917, the UnitedStates officially entered WorldWar I when Congress declaredwar on Germany. PresidentWoodrow Wilson said thiswould be the war to end allwars. As a result, a massivemobilization of people andresources were needed. Amonth later thousands of peo-ple lined the streets Henning to
give young men heading off toservice a fitting farewell. Theenlistees formed a line onMain Street and, with the Hen-ning band in front, lead a pro-cession to the N.P. Depot.They were part of the approxi-mately 2,000 men from OtterTail County who served in thewar.
Twelve World War I veter-ans are buried in Henning'sTrinity Cemetery. Amongthem is a purple heart recipi-ent, a victim of the flu pan-demic and one who helpedbreak the infamous Hinden-burg Line that lead to Ger-
many’s surrender. They repre-sent different service branchesas each and every one did theirpart to win the war. Join us aswe commemorate the lives ofthese men who served theircountry during the “GreatWar.”
Admission is $6 with pro-ceeds benefiting Save the Trin-ity and Otter Tail County His-torical Society. After the tourrefreshments will be availableat the Trinity building.

More Foster Homes Needed With more children in the foster care system, the need for foster
parents is great. The number of children in foster care on an averageday increased by 51 percent from almost 6,200 in 2013 to almost9,400 in 2016. The growing numbers of children in the child protec-tion system are due, in part, to increased awareness about child pro-tection issues, changes in how reports are reviewed, a growing opi-oid crisis, and children staying in care longer. All of these factorshave led to an increased number of foster children.
During May, Foster Care Month, the Minnesota Department ofHuman Services and partners will host events to thank foster parentsfor all they do and to raise awareness of the need for foster parentsfor the growing number of children in out-of-home care. Eventsinclude:
• Foster Care and Adoption Awareness Rally, hosted by Connec-tions to Independence and Foster Alum of Minnesota, and spon-sored by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, on May 20from 1 to 3 p.m. at Sabathani Community Center in Minneapolis.Human Services Assistant Commissioner Jim Koppel will welcomeattendees and talk about the need for foster and adoptive families,and the supports available to them. Foster youth will share storiesthrough performances throughout the day. Foster care and adoptionexperts will be on hand to provide information to those interested inlearning more.
“Foster parents take in children who may have significant needs,and provide them with the stability, guidance and care they needeach and every day,” Human Services Commissioner Emily Pipersaid. “We are thankful for all they do, and these events are one wayto recognize and appreciate them. At the same time, we hope whenpeople hear about foster care, they take the time to learn more aboutit from the experts on hand, and consider it for their families. Chil-dren throughout Minnesota need them.” For more info go to DHSwebsite.

Norwegians Visit Foss Log Cabin
Foss Log Cabin was visited by Sister City Nor-wegians May 9, 2017. They were interested in vis-iting the cabin, as they have a “sister” cabin, (theSeem, Woldy Cabin) that was moved from theshores of Bass Lake to Sleta, Norway. It is theNorthwest Immigration Center which has severalbuildings created in MN, ND by Norwegianswhen they arrived in this area.
The Foss Log Cabin and the Seem Log Cabinwere built on the shore of Bass Lake in 1869 alongwith the Medjaa Cabin, by the three families help-ing each other. The Sister City group were gettingideas on how they could “decorate” their cabin.
There were three teachers in the group, whohave been working with Underwood 6th gradeteacher and Fergus Falls 9th grade teacherthroughout the year, in an effort to learn from eachothers as well as share knowledge beneficial to all.
Cole Peterson is standing between two Norwe-gian teachers at a Pork Chop Supper at the Under-wood Community Center, provided by the hostingvillage of Underwood.
The group also visited Fort Juelson and PhelpsMill as part of their tour of the Underwood Area.
