Aug. 6: Master’s Plan, Gospel
1. Put children in situations where they can succeed.
2. Expect the child to succeed in a small, specific situation.
3. If your child does not succeed in a specific situation, problem solve and determine what is undermining the their attempts at success.
4. Every time you see your child behaving in the desired way, write it down.
5. Tell someone else about his/her positive behaviors and make sure the child can hear you.
6. Act in a way you want your child to act, and then praise yourself for acting that way.
7. Visualize your child as already being the new positive label, and then relate to him/her with the new label as part of the child.
8. Show respect for the child’s feelings and opinions even though you might not agree with them. Honor your child’s opinions and feelings by saying, “I can understand how you might feel this way.”
9. Be careful to give children comments on their strengths as well as their weaknesses.
10. Be patient. Change is an evolutionary process, not a revolutionary one. It takes time to change. Stay focused and, above all, be consistent.
The Nurturing Program Nurturing is the ability to care for and foster growth in yourself and others. The Nurturing Program is a family based educational program that promotes nurturing within in the family. Anyone who wants to build better relationships and communication in their family can benefit from the program.
The Nurturing Program is unique in that both parents and their children are involved in the learning process. Children are in a class for their age group, learning the same subject that the parents are learning in their class. Families than implement what they have learned throughout the week and discuss changes at the next class. Subjects include growth and development, communication and cooperation, effective guidance, empowering children to make healthy decisions, nutrition and much more. Wells Co. has been fortunate to obtain financial support from a grant through PCAND (Prevent Child Abuse in North Dakota) to make the program available to our community again in September. Classes are on Monday evenings, from 6:00-8:30 pm., for 12 weeks. Childcare and a light supper are provided.

The Harvey Area Community Foundation held its first annual “Tour of Tables” event on Saturday, April 12th at the Harvey Eagles Club. A few quotes from the evening were… “when we arrived, the atmosphere in the room was extremely high”; Dave Lautt; “ the event exceeded my expectations, and I didn’t know what to expect”, Bill Deck; “I already have my table planned for next year and can’t wait”, Kim Kittelson; “ I am hosting my own table next year”; Mikel Moore.
The HACF, Tour of Tables was a new event and every one of the table hosts did an excellent job of decorating their tables. The First State Bank decorated in Hornet Pride, the Lions Club was decked out with Lions material, HAV-IT had enough people attend to fill and decorate two tables, one of Social Capital and one on recycling. The City of Harvey adorned their table in “Americana” and Harvey Farmers Elevator created a field of grains, sunflowers, flax, beans and corn, all under glass to eat their meal on. In the planning stages, the HACF board set a goal of 8 to 10 tables. When it was all said and done, there was a grand total of 18 decorated tables. Along with the fantastic flat iron steak dinner provided by the Eagles Club, there was a lot of mingling, bean bag toss for a “mystery prize”, raffles, an auction and viewing all the“decked out” tables. Kevin Dvorak from the NDCF spoke on other successful ND Community foundations and what they are doing with their grant dollars. Corbin Zerr and Kelsey Eckart “wowed the crowd” by reciting their state qualifying speeches.
The HACF was established in 2007 for the purpose of providing a method of receiving funds/donations to benefit projects or non-profits in the Harvey area. The HACF is affiliated with the North Dakota Community Foundation which is a non profit tax-exempt corporation under the IRS code 501 c3 and North Dakota Law. The HACF started their fund out with a $10,000 grant received from the Horizons Program and Northwest Area Foundation. First International Bank and Trust, First State Bank and the National Bank of Harvey each donated $5,000 towards the fund. By raising the first $25,000, the NDCF matched that with $5,000 for a total of $30,000 to start off the HACF.
The Tour of Tables was an event to inform people of the HACF and to raise funds for the “foundation”. These funds stay local and the principle remains in the HACF fund. The board is able to give grants away to projects and non-profit groups from the interest earned. The event raised $3,000 along with a generous $2,000 gift from the Eagles Club, making a total raised from the night $5,000. This $5,000 is matched from the NDCF making an entire sum of $10,000 from the Tour of Tables fund raiser.
The HACF board is made up of Beth Huseth, Steve Wangen, Mark Friedt, Jason Schneider, Jason Grossman, Joel Schimke, Rocky Zastoupil, and Kim Moen. If you have any questions about the foundation or would like to know more about the Tour of Tables event which is already being planned for next year feel free to contact a board member.

Please vote “YES” on Tuesday, June 10th, in support of the Harvey Public Schools Technology Levy!
This levy will provide technology and computers necessary to provide the best, most competitive education for our children. It will develop a community technology center in HHS for the public’s benefit, integrate technology in teaching and learning K-12 and crate “Smart” interactive classrooms throughout our schools.
On a $75,000 home, the cost will be $16.88/year. On a $75,000 ag/commercial property, the cost will be $18.75/year. That’s roughly $1.50/month. You really can make a substantial difference.
This 5-Mill levy will cost the individual taxpayer very little, but will accomplish so much for the education of the student of our district. All tech levy funds will be used strictly for technology.
Please invest in our youth, our community, our future. You really can make a substantial difference!
If you have questions or comments, please contact Dan Stutlien, Supt., at 324-2265 or dan.stutlien@sendit.nodak.edu.
The St. Aloisius Volunteer Program is now seeking two additional Senior Companions for our program. Senior Companions are healthy older adults who help other adults live independently. They provide support to family caregivers, assist with light chores or other daily tasks necessary to maintaining independence. They offer senior citizens encouragement to remain active, provide a helping hand to make sure they take their medication, a watchful eye to notice when extra care is needed and friendship that lasts a lifetime.
Without Senior Companions, many older adults would not be able to continue living at home and would need more expensive, less personal care.
Senior Companions are 60 years or older, can volunteer 20 hours a week, have limited income and enjoy helping their neighbors. They receive $2.64 per hour for visiting with others, which is considered a stipend , so it doesn’t affect social security income. For more information on the Senior Companion program call the St. Aloisius Community Volunteer Program at 324-4769 Ext. 342.
