Our workouts are sacred tous. For some of us, exercising isour therapy, our happy place,our “me” time. We want every-one to feel as accomplishedafter a workout as we do (weknow some of you out theremight not love working out—but hopefully you enjoy the re-sults!). That’s why we are thrilledthat MYZONE rewards EVERY-ONE, from first-time exercisersto seasoned MEPs challengewinners, from exercisers withweight loss goals to athletestraining for their next competi-tion.MYZONE Effort Points (MEPs)put us all on the same playingfield, so everyone can play
based on their personal fitnesslevel. By rewarding us based onour relative intensity (% of max-imal heart rate), we can havefriendly challenges within andacross fitness facilities, gaugethe intensity of our workouts,and strive for our personal bestusing our wearable technol-ogy.MYZONE inspires intelligentconversation & fitness
educationMYZONE doesn’t just give usimmediate feedback onwhat’s happening to our heartduring our workout—it providesa detailed history of our work-outs that is accessible to us, ourtrainers, and our social con-nections. There’s somethingquite brilliant about having ourworkouts on display for us, aswell as shared with other exer-cisers and trainers using MY-ZONE. Whether it’s on yourMYZONE tile on display at yourclub, your recent moves onyour MYZONE app, or the work-out history your trainer is able toaccess—people are talkingabout heart rate training withMYZONE.
The community around MY-ZONE sparks some fantasticquestions and conversations.For instance:“I’m working really hard dur-ing my resistance training work-
outs, but MYZONE shows thatmy heart rate is only in the BLUEzone. Am I working hardenough?”

4 Good News Magazine • August/September 2019
“Grandpa, tell me ‘bout thegood ole days. Sometimes itfeels like this world’s gonecrazy. Grandpa take me backto yesterday when the line be-tween right and wrong didn’tseemed so easy.” When I listento those lyrics in the song writ-ten by the Judds, “Tell me‘bout the good ole days” Ittakes me back to my youth. Ibegin to remember things thathappened that I rarely seeanymore. I’m on a mission tofind out more ‘bout the goodole days’ from our neighborsand you, the readers of theGood News Magazine. This isthe beginning of a journeyback to the ‘Good Ole Days’with your help intertwined withthose that I’ve reached out toone on one. At the end of thisarticle you’ll see my e-mail ad-dress. I’m asking you to sendme your experience of the‘Good Ole Days.’ What is itthat you treasure about the‘Good Ole Days?’ What is ityou miss? If there was onething, you’d like back, whatwould that be? I’ll read all theresponses received and sharewith all our readers. So, let’sget started with one of my‘Good Ole Days” memories. Iremember growing up and tak-ing time to stop at The North-side Co-op just on the northsideof the channel in Albert Lea.My grandpa Vic and I wouldgo there and have an icecream cone and my Grandpawould talk to many differentpeople about all differentthings that I seemed to be toyoung to understand. Here inWaseca over the past 20 yearsI’ve notice a gathering place.An unlikely one, but a gather-ing of a few that I noticed. So,I thought it appropriate to startthere. I’m talking aboutNeste’s Car Care and MarkNeste. Some might know himas a ‘hometown boy’ fromWaseca that never left town.After a sit down with Mark I’vecome to know him better andwhat makes him tick. I asked
Mark to tell me about his lifeand he did. “I was born andraised right here in Waseca,”he said with a smile. “I marriedmy wife Lynda and we havetwo beautiful children. Heather49 & Adam 48. My dad ownedthe salvage yard south of townand that gave me my automo-tive skills and my mother, theycalled her Mrs. Clean becauseshe’s so clean all the time andthat’s where I got my cleanli-ness. I’ve worked for Lyle Se-wald at the Mobile Stationwhere Kinder Dennis parking lotis today. He also had the am-bulance service too. I asked togo on calls and he said yes. Itook some training and startedgoing on ambulance runs.After a few years I asked if Icould buy the ambulance serv-ice and he said yes. That wasaround 79 or so.” Mark said. Iinterrupted and asked whatever moved you to purchasethe ambulance service. “It wasthe tornado of 1967. Remem-bering neighbors that werekilled. I remember helping findfolks after it went through andwas very rewarding. So, when Ihad the chance to buy theambulance service, I knew itwas the right thing to do. It didcome with sacrifices. Missedbirthdays and events with thekids because you were on calland had to work. My wifeLynda was very understand-ing.” Mark said. What has kept you goingthrough the ups and downs offamily and business life I askedMark knowing of the chal-lenges with his daughterHeather and the pressures ofowning a business or two. “My
wife. My Wife Lynda,” Marksaid with teary eyes. “She hasbeen so supportive of me allthe way.” After composinghimself a bit he continued,“and my customers. They havebeen so good to me.”I decided it was time tochange the subject before weboth needed a Kleenex. Iasked, Mark tell about theGood Ole Days as you see it.“The 60’s & 70’s. Anyone thatknows me, knows I nevermissed an episode of Andy &Barney. The Andy Griffin Show.All those shows had a mean-ing. You’d learned somethingfrom each of them. So did themusic back then. And the carstoo,” he said. What about thevisitors you have here eachmorning? Do you all talk aboutthe Good Ole Days? “Oh ya,we do. Sometimes they start inon politics and I put an end tothat. I’m only interested ingood news. Like I read in theGood News Magazine.” Hesaid with a smile. “It normallystarts around 7:30 in the morn-
ing and goes until 9 or so. Oruntil I stand up and start work-ing. They all know they canstay around, but when I get upto work, I don’t want to bebothered. It all works out verywell and I enjoy each day.” Iasked a final question before Ileft. Was there ever a time thatyou were nervous about yourdetailing business? “Yes. Thetime I found out that Country-side Motors was closing. All mybusiness came from them andlong with just a few outside cus-tomers. I heard the rumors so Iwent straight up there andtalked with Bill Walz their SalesManager. He said, yes, we’reclosing but you have nothing toworry about Mark. You’ll do justfine. If it wasn’t for Bill’s positivere-enforcement, I think I mighthave closed the doors. I owehim a lot of thanks.” Thanks Mark for keeping thedoors open not only for yourcustomers, but for an unlikelyplace to meet in the morningand talk about the Good OleDays!

Wellness, (a noun), the stateof being in good health, es-pecially as an actively pur-sued goal. This is a verypopular word. We can seethis word attached to variousbusinesses. We see this worddisplayed over the pharmacyat Target. After nearly 30years in the “wellness” busi-ness, here is how I would de-fine wellness.I believe that wellness ismade of 6 components.Air(breath), Water(hydration),Earth(food), Rest(sleep/med-itation), Tissue (strength, flexi-bility & suppleness),Others(spiritual/community).The human being must striveto balance these six dimen-sions of its existence. Thebody needs oxygen whichoriginates with the breath.We need to experience timesof deep breath, which maycome from exercise or deeprelaxation. Our bodies are
made up of mostly water.We need water for all of thechemical reactions in thebody. We need water to hy-drate our tissue, and joints.We are of the earth andtherefore need to feed our-selves of the earth. Thehuman nervous system is con-stantly working whether weare talking of the autonomic(stuff that happens withoutour participation) or somatic(voluntary movements) sys-tems. The nervous systemneeds to rest and cells needtime to regenerate. The con-dition of our tissue, muscles,ligaments, tendons, connec-tive tissue plays a part in howwell we move. The more sup-ple and strong these tissuesare, allow us greater ease inmovement. The last compo-nent is the concept of others.By this I mean community.Humans need other humans.We also need a sense of spir-itual connectedness. There are many, many waysto achieve wellness. I like tocall them tools to have in ourWellness Tool Box. One is theuse of nutritional supple-ments. This is big topic cur-rently with the new industry ofCBD.

What’s inCommon withPiper, Lane& Sailor?By Mike Parry
“Boutique shopping forunique clothing. You see it, youbetter buy it because I proba-bly won’t get it in again,” saidKristin Fox. Oh, that’s what thethree names above have incommon. Their mother Kristin,owner of a beautiful boutiquein Waseca called “Pippi Lane”.You probably noticed thetransformation of the old NAPAAuto Parts store on West ElmAvenue over the late fall earlyspring recently. Kristin movedfrom the Folie Building acrossthe street to the new location (continued on page 7)
to help fulfill a life long dreamof hers. History shows that Foxstarted the online business withLuLa Roe back in 2016. Very successful it was from thebeginning but there was aburning fire inside of Kristin. “Ihad over 2000 followers almostimmediately. It was a realquick trend and I learned reallyquickly that it wasn’t my styleand I needed to be true to my-self,” Fox said. “As a little girl Ihad sketch books that I wouldconstantly be putting togetheroutfits. Drawing outfit combi-nations. It has always been mypassion since I was a little kid.”Kristin went on to building herown brands and build a bou-tique in her basement, againwith much success. “Peoplewere coming to pick up theirpurchases around the clockand just having my third childat that time I was very busy andrealized that I needed to lookfor a location somewhere inWaseca.” Fox stated. Kristinsaid she watches pricing tomaintain her competitive posi-tion.

Though the Mac n CheeseBratwursts are second to the fa-mous seasoned Tri-tips, you’llfind other favorites like Col-orado Jerky waiting for you atWiste’s Meat Market inJanesville. Now under newownership with Ryan andMegan Landkammer whogrew up in Waseca. As I’vesaid in past articles, I so admire,as many do, those young whotake a step in the entrepre-neurial world. I had a chanceto stop at Wiste’s the other dayand purchase meat bundles
for our American Legion Post inWaseca Thursday night Tacosand Meat Raffles. Oh, by theway, the Tacos and Meat Raf-fles are every Thursday begin-ning at 5pm. I could see thesparkle in Ryan’s eyes as I askedhim how business was going. “Itgrows every day,” he said. Iasked Ryan to tell me aboutWiste’s. “Both my wife and Igraduated from Waseca HighSchool and now have two chil-dren, Berklee who is a bit over 2and Bryndol who is 10 months.”Ryan stated. “Both of us wereactive in sports through schooland grew up in customer serv-ice and retail.” Ryan men-tioned that they have 12employees, 3 of which are fulltime and the rest part time. Iasked Landkammer what theyspecialize in? “We specialize inquality meat. That ranges any-where from our fresh meat anddeli counters to our custom pro-cessing with cutting up beefand pork to our wild game pro-cessing,” Ryan went on to say,“We also do full carcass deerwhere we will skin and debonethe deer.

It is easy to take in the news of the day and be extremely pessimistic. In fact, regardless of your station in life, regardless of your age, health, or gender, you will fight against the very thought, “Is this all there is?” We resist the ne cessity to answer this persisting question, even when we are forced to stare at death. Perhaps this is the reason that it is in vogue these days to rename funerals and call them, “a celebration of life”. We search for and insist upon meaning and we will deny even death while scan ning the archives of someone’s life and insist, because of this or that, the dearly departed mattered! “Vanity of vanities”, says the P reacher of Ecclesiastes, “vanity of vanities! All is vanity. I have seen everything that is done under the sun, and behold, all is vani ty and a striving after wind.” (Ecc. 1:2 & 14). Have you ever tried to catch the wind? It’s impossible. You can run, grab, or plan, but try as you will, it will never happen. Ecclesiastes compares the quest for joy and meaning in life apart from God like chasing the wind. Af ter experimenting with different ways to find meaning in life, the Preacher concludes that without God, everything turns up empty: “Vanity of vanities; all is vanity”.
So, how do we avoid the emptiness of vanity? Where can we go to fully realize that our lives have me aning? You might not want to hear this, but the answer is…go to church! “But if I read the Bible, pray regularly and try to live a good moral life, is it important to go to church on Sunday?” The straight answer to that question is, “Yes! It is important to gather with the people of God and worship your Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier, namely God; Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” It doesn’t matter if t he preacher is second-rate and his sermons bore you. Even if the woman in the next seat is a horrible hypocrite who prays or sings too loudly on Sunday and cheats her way through the week and it doesn’t matter if the worship service goes on and on and you leave feeling i mpatient instead of a warm glow in your heart. The real reason to come and worship on Sunday is that it is commanded of believers. Chri stians understand this as the Third Commandment (not a suggestion): Remember the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy.
We should not despise the preaching of God’s Word but gladly receive it and apply it to our lives. Second, God said He would be there, in fact, Jesus said as recorded in Matt. 18, “For where two or three are gathered together in my
name, there am I among them.” Jesus can and will speak to you through the dullest sermon, the worst-sung hymn or song or the distraction of a crying child. He is God after all. It has been the confession of the Christian comm unity for over 20 centuries that Jesus Christ is present where His Supper is served. The early church called Holy Communion the “medicine o f immortality”. It is a joy that we receive this medicine, the body and blood of Jesus for our forgiveness, life, and salvation (John 6: 53-54). In the mutual worship of those who gather around Jesus Christ, who are at the same moment in time, both sinner and saint, Jesus com es and says, “You matter! Your life has been redeemed through Me and has meaning! You are mine…forever!” This is not chasing the wind b ut in fact is the source of purpose and meaning. Come back to church and let us worship our living God together!

A lot can happen in a year! I just realized it was one year ago in July that this Ignited Hope column adventure began! I want to
first say thank you for coming on this journey with me! I appreciate being able to share a bit of my life and heart with you all. It’s been, and continues to be, my soul’s desire that you be encouraged, inspired, and left with mor e
hope for your life, relationships, and circumstances and our world after soaking in these 300 or so words each month. I look forward to what this next year will bring together! Because, for real. A lot can happen in a year! My last roommate and I used to say that all the time as we’d dream with God with hopeful
expectancy. One of her heart’s desires came to fruition this last year. Within seven months she met, dated, engaged, and married her now husband who are an amazing team together! So a lot can happen in...seven months! A lot can happen in...a matter of days! I’m in a bit of a whirlwind of transitions right now as I wa s
surprised by an opportunity to move to a new home in the Bemidji area. I am completely surprised as even the thought of moving was not on my radar. At all. Ha! But God truly knows what He is doing and He
has things on his radar that I think He’s just anticipating to reveal at just the right time. For His glory. For His Love for us and this world. For purposes beyond our understanding.
If you find yourself in the waiting or if you find yourself in the midst of a whirlwind of unfolding surprises, I do pray for deeper levels of trust in the process because God is for you...always!
Suzanne Barbknecht - daughter of God, writer, photographer, worship leader, pastor, missionary to the Northland - originally from the fertile farm land of Waseca, now resides in the Northwoods of Bemidji and is passionate about living a lifestyle of hope while inspiring others in the same.

Say Hello to Verne Larson
This month of August 2019 brings us to introduce another of our newer residents, Verne Larson.
Verne was born in Lake Preston, S. Dakota, in February of 1926. He was delivered in the family farmhouse and grew up as a middle child between two sisters. He went to country school through the 8th grade, then attended high school in town, graduating in ’43. Verne continued his education at South Dakota State in Brookings, studying animal science, agronomy, poultry, and veterinary science. He taught one year of Veterans on the Farm, (a farm training program for war vets) then decided to quit so he could farm full time. He was talked back into teaching again for another three years in Lake Preston, before moving on to working as the Federal Farm Insurance Adjuster for 14 counties. He kept up the farming and insurance position for 18 more years, then worked as a S. Dak. highway patrolman. In 2004 he was chosen as Outstanding Older Worker for South Dakota!
After college Verne met his first wife, Florence Kjellson, and raised four children with her. After 17 years of marriage, Florence passed away and Verne re-married to a woman named Marie Muser. Both of their daughters agreed to set them up and the match stuck! In his spare time Verne enjoyed dancing, was active in his church, did furniture refinishing, picture framing, and had card parties with friends.
When Marie passed away, Verne’s daughter wanted him to move to Waseca so he would be closer to family. She chose Colony Court because her mother-in-law had lived here and knew we had a good reputation in the community. “t’aint home, but it’s OK being here”, says Verne. We think you’re OK too, Verne, and we’re glad you’re with us!
August Resident ProfileBy Jim Miller
Dear Savvy Senior,What’s the best way to dis-tribute my personal posses-sions to my kids after I’m gonewithout causing hard feelingsor conflict?I have a lot of jewelry, art,family heirlooms and antiquefurniture, and three grown kidsthat don’t always see eye-to-eye on things.— Planning Ahead
Dear Planning,Divvying up personal posses-sions among adult children orother loved ones can often bea difficult task. Deciding whoshould get what without show-ing favoritism, hurting some-one’s feeling or causing a feudcan be difficult, even for close-knit families who enter theprocess with the best of inten-tions. Here are a few tips toconsider that can help you di-vide your stuff with minimalconflict.
Problem AreasFor starters, you need to beaware that it’s usually thesmall, simple items of little mon-etary value that cause themost conflicts. This is becausethe value we attach to thesmall personal possessions isusually sentimental or emo-
your kids take turns choosingthe items they would like tohave. If who goes first becomesan issue, they can always flip acoin, draw straws or roll dice.Also, to help simplify things,break down the dividingprocess room-by-room, versustackling the entire house. Tokeep track of who gets what,either make a list or use adhe-sive dots with a color assignedto each person to tag the item.· Have a family auction: Giveeach person involved thesame amount of play money,or use virtual points or pokerchips to bid on the items theywant.For more ideas, see “Who
Gets Grandma’s Yellow PiePlate?” This is a resource cre-ated by the University of Min-nesota Extension Service thatoffers a detailed workbook orinteractive CD for $12.50, andDVD for $30 that gives pointersto help families discuss propertydistribution and lists importantfactors to keep in mind thatcan help avoid conflict. It’s also very important thatyou discuss your plans in ad-vance with your kids so theycan know ahead what to ex-pect. Or, you may even wantto start distributing some of youritems now, while you can stillalive.

tional, and because the simpleitems are the things that mostfamilies fail to talk about. Family battles can also esca-late over whether things arebeing divided fairly by mone-tary value. So for items ofhigher value like your jewelry,antiques and art, consider get-ting an appraisal to assure fairdistribution. To locate an ap-praiser, see Appraisers.org orAppraisersAssociation.org. The best solution for passingalong your personal posses-sions is for you to go throughyour house with your kids orother heirs either separately orall at once. Open up cabinets,drawers and closets, and gothrough boxes in the atticand/or basement to find outwhich items they would like toinherit and why. They mayhave some emotional attach-ment to something you’re notaware of. If more than onechild wants the same thing, youwill have the ultimate say. Then you need to sit downand make a list of who getswhat on paper, signed, datedand referenced in your will. Youcan revise it anytime you want.You may also want to considerwriting an additional letter orcreate an audio or videorecording that further explainsyour intentions. You can also specify a strat-egy for divvying up the rest ofyour property. Here are somemethods that are fair and rea-sonable: · Take turns choosing: Use around-robin process where
