tasty snack ideas – just perfect

for these fall days. The cookbook

gave the nutritional info

too, as if we really want to

know. I left it out. When I eat a

rich treat I’d rather not know

how many calories are in each

piece – one piece is never

enough. After you have the first

one, you always need a second

one with a glass of milk or a cup

of coffee, right?

YOUR TIMING

WON’T BE OFF

WHEN YOU INVEST REGULARLY.

If one of your worries is whether you're investing at the

right time, it shouldn't be. By investing a set amount of

money regularly, you establish a simple routine that can

help make your financial goals a reality.

In addition, investing regularly can:

❚ Make it possible to use market fluctuations

to your advantage

❚ Add potential growth and diversification

to your portfolio

❚ Keep your long-term financial goals in focus

Investing a set amount of money on a regular basis does not ensure a profit and does not protect

against loss in declining markets. Such a plan involves continual investment in securities

regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities. You should consider your financial

ability to continue the purchases through periods of low price levels.

you reach your financial goals, call or visit your local

Welcome to NW

Minnesota

Deer hunting is a time-honored and cherished

tradition in northwestern Minnesota.

When deer hunting season arrives in northwestern

Minnesota, there’s very little else

on anyone’s mind.

The deer hunting season is a big deal.

People go on vacation every year at this

time, families hold reunions, some of our

high schools close and it has a huge impact

on the economy. So there’s a kind of panic

taking place, right now. Getting deer camp

and hunters prepared for the start of the

season is a major undertaking. Grocery

stores, bars and convenience stores add personnel

because these stores fill with men,

who for all their bravado and good intentions,

look like deer caught in headlights.

Yes, these are the same men who, during

any other time of year, complain whenever

someone spends a few extra dollars at the

grocery store, who fill grocery carts to the

One of Britain’s great vocal

groups, The London Quartet,

at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4, at

brim with steaks, chips, dip, eggs and

bacon. These same men, who guard their

toolboxes with the authority of military

police, will stand in the middle of the

ever wash their hunting clothes with scented

soap.

Yes, hunting is a cherished tradition in

northwestern Minnesota, but no one knows

who or which is more befuddled - the deer

we’re certainly lucky that this is all taking
