From the beginning of time, humans peered into the heavens to ponder the meaning of life, their role in the universe and the significance of the planets. The Planets, Op. 32 | Gustav Holst Mars, The Bringer of War…...Venus, The Bringer of Peace…...Mercury, the Winged Messenger…. Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity…..Saturn, the Bringer of Old Age…...Uranus, The Magician.. Neptune, The Mystic A note about Pluto: Pluto was discovered in 1930, four years before Holst's death, and it was categorized by astronomers as a new planet. Holst expressed no interest in writing a movement for it, probably due to the fact that he felt the suite was overshadowing his other works. Several composers have written Pluto movements as additions to The Planets.

It is the time of year that superintendents of schools start to sleep with one eye open because they are never sure what the weather will do. When making a decision to either have school go on time, a two hour late start or cancel school, I am up early looking at the weather forecast, current conditions and talking with transportation staff and other superintendents. We look at how much snow has fallen, the wind speed, if there are icy conditions, wind chill, visibility, road conditions and other factors as we make weather related decisions. Our goal is always the safety of the students. The biggest question is, “Can we transport our students safely to school?” There is not always a simple answer to that question. As a reminder, please make sure your student is dressed appropriately when she/he comes to school. The weather can get brutally cold and warm hats, gloves and clothes need to be worn to insure the student’s safety. Even if a student is driving to school or taking a school bus, remember that vehicles can and do break down so dressing warm is a necessity. I also want to take this time to thank David Johnson (10 years) and Deb Glenz (20 years) for their service to District 741 as School Board members. Being a School Board member can be a job with few “pats on the back” and many times deal with very difficult decisions. School Board members get little monetary compensation for what they do. These two individuals have served the District well and will be missed. At the same time we welcome Randy Kern, and Heidi Riley to the School Board. On behalf of the District I want to thank the community for approving question #1 on the November 4, 2014 ballot. We greatly appreciate the communities support and commitment to our students and staff. Robert Huot - Superintendent of Schools A Lot to Celebrate! Great things are happening at Paynesville Area Elementary School! I announce this with gr eat enthusiasm because as I enter my fourth year as the Elementary Principal I continue to be extremely proud of the students and staff at our school. To most people, especially families who are looking at sending their children to our school, data is important, but they want to know what we are doing to prepare our students for middle school, high school and beyond. We really feel that it is important to provide our students with the tools to be productive, socially responsible adults. Listed below are a few of the great programs that help to drive our success: A strong Jr. Bulldog preschool program that is rated a 4-star Parent Aware Program. This program offers a flexible schedule with curriculum that helps to prepare students for kindergarten Before and after school daycare program for students in grades K-5. Our PAWS program is a structured learning environment that is located right in the elementary school. Smartboard technology in every classroom. iPad and Chrome Book technology readily available to our students. Math and Reading Corps Tutors for students. Paid for with grant funds. Enrichment programs through our Power Half Hour, 5th Grade Math Masters and Young Author/Young Artist Conference. Title I program that services grades K-5 and offers Tier I, II, and III interventions for struggling students Targeted Services programs and enrichment opportunities for students before and after school and during the summer. When a school has motivated students and staff, positive and involved parents and a strong community, great things can happen! David Oehrlein, Elementary Principal District 741 Emergency School Closing Procedures In the event a need exists to close school due to an emergency, announcements will be made through SchooolReach and over the following stations:WCCO 830 AM (Twin Cities), KWLM 1340 AM (Willmar), KCLD 104.7 FM (St. Cloud), KASM 1150 AM (Albany), WWJO 98.1 FM (St. Cloud), WCCO-TV (Channels 4 and 7), and KARE-TV (Channel 11). Late starts, early closings, and activity event changes will also be announced via these methods. Unless notified otherwise, when schools are closed because of inclement weather, no district-sponsored afternoon or evening activities will be held. School closings will also be announced on the following websites: www.paynesvilleschools.com, www.paynesvillece.com, and www.paynesvillearea.com. 21 BULLDOG SCHOOL NEWS Dear Students, Parents and Community Members, I would like to first congratulate all our fall athletic teams for a great season both in our PAMS and PAHS. Our student-athletes and coaches set high standards for themselves as school leaders and in their commitments to their season goals. I am very proud to be a Bulldog and to see our teams excel. Our school pride is without a doubt strong. It is also a wonderful sight to see the number of students and community members that attend our school events to cheer and support their fellow Bulldogs. We have great news for parents. You will now be able to make lunch payments online. If you would like to take advantage of this program, please follow these steps. 1. Go to www.paynesvilleschools.com 2. Click on the online lunch payment center link. 3. After you put money into your child’s account and you are ready to check out, the system will ask you to login to your Family Account. Your Family Account Login is your JMC login information. If you have any questions regarding your JMC account and Password, please give Cassandra a call at (320) 243-3761 ext. 3150. During the month of November we will be giving the Explore Assessment to all 8th graders, on November 12th and the Plan Assessment to all 10th graders, on November 18th. These tests will help students determine if they are on track for graduation, college readiness and also suggest career areas that they are currently showing an interest in. We hope to have these scores back and available for advisors to share with parents at our February conferences. These results will be used to help in scheduling classes for next year. We have always had student led conferences mandatory for all MS students. Students have an opportunity to share their successes and the areas they are struggling in. This is also a good time for students to share their goals and map out a plan to achieve them. Research shows that if goals are shared it greatly enhances the effort put into accomplishing them. Starting in February, conferences will now be mandatory for all HS students as well. We will be focusing on students’ academic goals and providing information to help them achieve their goals. During this time we will also be providing course scheduling advice and career/college readiness information. HS advisors will be in contact with parents to set up these meetings.

Patsy Koski became a home owner in Paynesville in July of 2013. Since that time she has been busy getting involved in the community that she now calls home. Patsy is what I would call a “people’s person”. Her personality truly shines when she is with others, and especially when she is lending a helping hand. Patsy was born in San Antonio, Texas almost 80 years ago. She was an only child. She attended Abilene Christian University and majored in accounting and business. (which she pointed out she has never used) Her first husband was in the military and they spent five years in England, five years in Newfoundland, and she spent several years in Texas while her husband was stationed in other countries. Eventually the journey took them to the Duluth/Esko area which became home from 1973 to 2013. Patsy and her second husband made their home on the farm that had been in his family since 1879. In 1997 they planted over 21,000 evergreen trees which were to be harvested as Christmas trees. Her husband, Don, was diagnosed with cancer before the trees were ready to harvest so the land is stilled filled with many trees. They made trails through the trees which now are used for horseback riding and snowshoeing. Patsy truly loved this area and the friends she had made, but knew she needed to move from the country. The farm was on the market for some time with no buyers until one day in 2013 a gentleman knocked on her door and said he would like to buy it but she would need to move within a month. With the assistance of her children which by now totaled 11 from her two marriages along with 8 foster children she helped raise along the way, 12 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren she decided she could move that quickly. She soon discovered finding a suitable house in the Esko area was not an easy task. After looking she finally found the home that fit her needs, or more exactly had room for the beautiful entertainment center and bedroom suite her husband had made for her, in Paynesville. This brought her closer to 4 of her daughters who live in this community, but far from her many friends and volunteer activities. Patsy is a licensed massage therapist specializing in craniology and reflexology. She currently volunteers to give hand, feet and shoulder massages at Koronis Manor on Saturdays. She also brings her therapy dog, a Pomeranian named Ollie, to the Manor to visit with residents once a week. She can also be found calling bingo at Queen Bee’s, helping with any Lion’s service events, volunteering at the Area Center since she joined the board in July or working on one of her many craft projects. Patsy is a lady of many talents. She ran a group home for the mentally challenged for 18 years while living in the Esko area. She led a grief support. She has taken medical missionary Patsy in front of the entertainment center her trips to Africa and Haiti through her former church, St. husband made for her. Matthew’s in Esko in 2007 and 2008. She does embroidery, hooks amazingly beautiful rugs and makes lap robes for the nursing home that anyone would love to receive. Patsy spend parts of 2009-2012 traveling around the United States with friends. Those years they put on 5000 to 7000 miles with no specific destination in mind. They would just stop when they saw something interesting and stay with family and friends along the way. She still manages to visit friends and family from the Esko area, but not as often as she would like. Even with all the volunteering and hobbies, Patsy says she needs more to do. She has truly tried to embrace her new community by giving of her time and talents. It is now time for Paynesville residents to welcome her by offering their friendship. For those of you who have moved to this community, you know how important having a good friend to do things with can be. I often hear how Teal Receipts challenging it is to make friends in this community. People Please continue to drop off your have acquaintances but not friends. Let’s try to change that for Teal’s receipts for the center not only Patsy but all Paynesville residents. 24 PAYNESVILLE AREA CENTER Greetings from the Paynesville Area Center Director, Soon the Christmas trees will be up and decorated and we will all be longing to spend time with friends and family and for many of us remembering those that will not be celebrating Christmas with us this year.

Lindeman, M.D. The subject of this writing is a “hot topic” in Paynesville at the present time. Due to the foresight of Linda Musel and many others as well as the Area Center, Paynesville has accepted the challenge to start a program entitled “ACT on Alzheimer’s.” It has been initiated and successfully promoted in numerous communities in Minnesota. We, in the Paynesville Area, are in the first few months of laying the groundwork for the program to be active in our area. With the help of certain Alzheimer agencies in the county and state and a generous financial grant we are moving forward----starting, what we anticipate and hope, will be a long beneficial journey. 88,000 Minnesotans age 65+ live with Alzheimer’s disease and the number is growing. To add to the magnitude of this painful figure there are 245,000 caregivers caring for family members with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. An Alzheimer Caregiver’s responsibility is different and more difficult because it requires attention and/or help, 24 hours a day and 7 days a week for as long as the patient is able to stay in a home setting. Alzheimer’s is unique. How it affects a patient varies with each individual patient. The area of the body that causes the difficulties is the brain. The part of the brain that is involved dictates what the abnormal functions of the body will be. Alzheimer’s is actually a syndrome and a syndrome is a group of different but related actions and reactions of the body. Since there are few effective treatments and no known cure, the disease is always a progressive group of problems that create difficulty in providing care. The goal of the ACT organization is to make the community aware of the urgency and size of the problem. Also to become informed about the disease and then assisting the caregiver by offering to relieve the caregiver for several hours at a time. Caregiver “burnout” is a common reason for the need to place the patient in a facility that is able to give 24 hour care. In areas of the state where ACT has been functioning it has been an overwhelming success. Our program in Paynesville is being well organized and there will be numerous opportunities to attend meetings and training sessions where people can prepare themselves to be of great help to their friends and neighbors in caring for a loved one in the home. The amount of money saved by being able to care for Alzheimer patients in their home setting is unimaginable. And I can think of no better way to show your love for your friend or neighbor than to volunteer some time to him or her, the caregiver, at your discretion. Show your gratitude, for all of your blessings, to another person by following the great commandment—LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.

We want to thank everyone of you who volunteer whether it be in the dining room, driving Meals On Wheels, washing dishes, whatever it may be “thank you”. We would not be able to continue these programs without you. You make a difference in many lives each day and I hope you realize that too and it makes your day more complete also. We do celebrate birthdays on the first Friday of each month. So if it is your birthday in that month please come and join us in the celebration and the companionship and visiting. We also have pie day, where you will receive a piece of pie with your meal and that is every first Wednesday. Come out and see what the pie is for the month and join us. You are welcome to join us Monday thru Friday for a healthy nutritious meal and some good socializing. We have a great group of diners here that would love to visit with you. We publish the menu in the papers & have them here on site. We aim for a noon eating time. Meals on Wheels is available also if you are unable to make it to the Center for dinner. Hot meals will be delivered to your door Monday thru Friday. Meals are partially funded under contract with the Central MN Council On Aging as part of the Older American’s Act and administered by Catholic Charities of St. Cloud. The suggested contribution for person’s 60+ is $4.00 to $7.50. No person 60+ is denied a meal based on their ability to pay. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is there for anyone who is 60+. This program can help you buy healthy food and help you to eat well balanced meals and stay healthy. Please contact me with any questions. 320.243.4575. The other day I was thinking about how lucky our community is to have the Center here. There is always something going on whether it be a clinic, card playing, meetings, crafts or a private rental, this place is a busy place. We are lucky to have the services available that are within the building and the great family of friends that gather here each day. Thank you for supporting Senior Dining.
