Joseph Coalwell, Brainerd

The night was still as he gazed out across the landscape. A light fog hung in the air with each breath, providing the only company he hoped for this Christmas Eve. Like a family member being received for the party, each listless breath slowly dispersed into the night as another arrived in its place. The young soldier’s eyes traversed slowly as he surveyed the bleak terrain. In the distance he spotted a small child taking refuge under a tree, playing peacefully with a doll. A peculiar sight in the eyes of anyone else. The blackness of the night began to ease as blue and green lights adorning the small, yet proud, pine illuminated the horizon. The child played alone, but was content in his solitude. The orange glow of a small fire flickered brilliantly off of the tinsel, dancing gleefully along a shroud of warmth that surrounded the boy. A soft breeze passed through the branches carrying the scents of freshly baked ham and apple pie towards the tower. The soldier inhaled deeply as he savored the aroma. Beyond the berm he could hear the faint ringing of bells. Gradually, the bells faded into joyful voices carrying familiar Christmas carols from afar. The chorus was pleasant, but distracting. This was his watch and his focus was on the boy. Would he be all right? The young soldier squinted intensely, trying to bring his vision into sharper focus. He watched as the child moved the small soldiers limbs around, testing the agility of his new gift. He could see that the child loved the soldier and beamed when he hugged it tightly. And as quickly as his breath dispersed, the night was still once more.

Dec. 25th is a date that comes every year and each year we follow the Christmastime rituals: decorate the tree, hang up the stockings, play in the snow, bake cookies and watch jolly movies. These bring all of us that feeling of merriment that only the holidays can bring, but sometimes we forget about the true meaning of the Christmas season: Jesus. This wonderful holiday only occurs because he was born in a manger, brought into the world by his mother, who was the first tabernacle of Jesus Christ. This is where my story begins … My family and I were sitting at mass last year, around the beginning of Advent. The priest told us a story of a man who

get me some hot cocoa and shortbread cookies?” “Yes, dear.” Mrs. Claus walked into the kitchen. “Oh my!” she exclaimed. “Look at the time. It’s nearly 10 o’clock!” Santa had overheard. He started worrying. “Sweetie, could you saddle up the reindeer?” he said politely. Mrs. Claus felt bad for Santa. “Nicholas, I’m so sorry,

but I don’t think that Christmas can go on this year! Achoo! Oh no! Now I have the flu!” Mrs. Claus said, feeling sick. “And I don’t!” Santa said happily. “I’ll make you some coffee and pancake.” That night, Santa made it to all the children’s houses and you might be one of them!

He then challenged us to pray the rosary every day during that Advent to prepare for Christmas. My first thought was that I didn’t have enough time to pray the entire rosary, every day. But as the days went on and my family and I gathered in the living room each night, taking only 10 or 15 minutes to pray, a waterfall of peace slowly washed over me. I was excited for Christmas, but not for the material reasons I had been other

years. This year, I was excited for Jesus to come. I can now look back on that Christmas and know that it was by far the most wonderful Christmas I’ve ever had. By praying and preparing your heart for the coming of Jesus Christ, you will take on a whole new outlook of Christmas. As you gaze upon the tree, or catch snowflakes on your tongue, remember the reason began when the mother of Jesus brought him into the world. Her name was Mary.

Melinda Jackson, Breast Imaging Manager at CRMC.

3-D mammography is a relatively new breast imaging procedure. Available in all three major lakes area medical clinics including Cuyuna Regional Medical Clinic, Essentia and Lakewood Health System.

Benefits of 3-D • Earlier detection of small breast cancers • Greater accuracy in pinpointing size, shape

Drawbacks?

Although uncommon, it is possible to find small breast cancers that would not become life threatening, grow or spread leading to over-diagnosis and over-treatment, according to cancer.org. 4

Tips for your Mammogram

Many women avoid mammograms out of fear of the pain and discomfort associated with the procedure. Here's some tips that can help.

2. Dress well. Wear a shirt and bra that are easy to take off and put on. Consider a front button up shirt if you wear make-up or style your hair. 3. Pack the pain meds. OTC pain meds may help with discomfort. 4. Perfume negative. Things like perfume, deoderant, lotions and body powders can show up as false positives.

- Sarah Oehrlein Whatever God lies in front of us we would get through together as a family.” As an operating room charge nurse at CRMC, Sarah soon found herself in an unfamiliar position of being the patient instead of the caregiver. Instead of being the registered nurse who readied the operating room for patients, she found herself in the role of the patient under the OR lights. As the date of her partial mastectomy and lymph node dissection surgery approached, friends, family and co-workers rallied around her with love and support. After a successful surgery and a report that her lymph nodes were also clear, she began chemo in May. Her chemo consisted of four rounds, each round five hours long, every three weeks, a process she finished up in July. “I am so blessed to be a part of the CRMC team and also to be under their care as a patient,” Sarah revealed. “It’s given me a chance to see patient care through a new lens and I know this experience will make me a better nurse. I am grateful for the talents and compassion of my Care Coordinator Jill Witlock, my surgeons Dr. LeMieur and Dr. Shawn Roberts and physicians Dr. Westin and Dr. Kara Maucieri. But I am most grateful for the fact that I listened to my gut. Because my breast cancer was fast-growing, I know my outcome would be very different if I had ignored those feelings or even waited a few weeks to go back to my doctor.” As the next leg of her treatment begins, six weeks of radiation beginning the first week of September, this ambitious mom’s laser focus on getting well has not wavered.

About Beanhole Days

The Pequot Lakes Bean Hole Days celebration in July originated in 1938. The huge cast iron kettles with fun names like Big Bertha, Thor, Sven and Lena are filled with beans, then buried and cooked overnight. The next day, the kettles are raised and the beans are served free of charge at noon. This tradition brings thousands together as they share a free lunch of baked beans, dinner roll, and beverage.

New for 2018: This feature will be inside the regular papers. Choose to have an ad in one or both publications to show your support for their battle!

Mammogram 3-D technology

Rates:

Melinda Jackson, Breast Imaging Manager at CRMC.

Brainerd Dispatch $10.95 pci Black and White $14.70 pci Color

3-D mammography is a relatively new breast imaging procedure. Available in all three major lakes area medical clinics including Cuyuna Regional Medical Clinic, Essentia and Lakewood Health System.

Benefits of 3-D • Earlier detection of small breast cancers • Greater accuracy in pinpointing size, shape and location of breast abnormalities • Fewer biopsies or additional tests • Greater detection of multiple breast tumors • Clearer dense breast tissue images

Echo Journal $6.40 pci Black and White $9.40 pci Color

Drawbacks? Although uncommon, it is possible to find small breast cancers that would not become life threatening, grow or spread leading to over-diagnosis and over-treatment, according to cancer.org. 4

Tips for your Mammogram

Many women avoid mammograms out of fear of the pain and discomfort associated with the procedure. Here's some tips that can help.

1. Time your visit. Breasts are not as tender one week after a period. 2. Dress well. Wear a shirt and bra that are easy to take off and put on. Consider a front button up shirt if you wear make-up or style your hair. 3. Pack the pain meds. OTC pain meds may help with discomfort. 4. Perfume negative. Things like perfume, deoderant, lotions and body powders can show up as false positives. 5. Avoid caffeine. Some women find that caffeine contributes to breast tenderness. Avoid caffeine a week prior.

Breast Cancer Awareness • October 2017

Best friend Samantha Welle (Left) shaved her head to show her support for Sarah.

Family support at the race for the cure. (Clockwise) Sarah, her son Jordan, Sarah's mom Kathleen Erickson, Sarah's cousin Eda May Johnson, and Sarah's daughter Tori.

“...Stay positive, surround yourself with love and support and fight it tooth and nail.”

You can always count on a good neighbor. Other home health providers have come and gone, but you can trust the care of your loved one with the compassionate team that will be there when you need them most. Just like we have since 1984.

REQUIREMENTS- THE FINE PRINT

We at the Brainerd Dispatch and Echo Publishing are committed to providing an excellent product to all of our customers. To ensure excellence to our advertisers, we have set the following advertising policies. All advertisements are accepted subject to the approval of the publisher. Brainerd Dispatch and Echo Publishing reserve the right to refuse or cancel any advertisement at any time. Rates charged for advertising are for space only and do not include any compensation for the right, title and any interest to layouts, composition, material, or labor of advertisements created by and placed with Brainerd Dispatch/Echo Publishing. All advertisements remain the sole property of Brainerd Dispatch/ Echo Publishing. Brainerd Dispatch/Echo Publishing reserve the right to copyright any ad produced by its staff. The advertiser, and any third party publisher, who uses the ad agrees to indemnify and hold harmless The Brainerd Dispatch/Echo Publishing for any inaccuracies or fallacies resulting from alteration, modification, or attempted redesign of the purchased high resolution PDF. This includes, but is not limited to, claims for libel, copyright infringement and trademark infringement. All advertising is cash with order except when credit has been approved by the company. When credit is allowed to an advertiser, accounts are due on receipt of statement. A service charge of 1.5% per month (annual rate 18%) will be charged on accounts more than 30 days past due. In double truck ads the gutter is billed as one column. Advertising rates may be revised from time to time. Advertisers under contract will be given 30 days notice.

Advertising deadlines are set well in advance of publication to ensure an excellent product for the advertiser. Proofs for the purpose of correcting errors in production will be e-mailed or faxed to the advertiser. Once a proof is submitted to the advertiser, the advertiser takes responsibility for errors not marked on the proof. Correctness of ads submitted after deadline is the responsibility of the advertiser. However, if there is an error that is the fault of the Brainerd Dispatch/Echo Publishing, the ad will be rerun (or credit given for) that part of the ad containing the error. Cancellation deadlines are the same as ad order deadlines. Because of the expense involved in the production of ads, cancellations after deadline may be billed for time and materials. The labor charge is $50 per hour. The advertiser agrees to indemnify and hold the newspaper harmless for any claims arising out of the publication of copy submitted by the advertiser. This includes, but is not limited to, claims for libel, copyright infringement and trademark infringement. Position requests will be granted, but not guaranteed, when possible and will not be considered a condition of acceptance for publications. Failure to meet these requests will not constitute cause for adjustment, refund or rerun of the advertisement, unless a positioning surcharge has been paid. Brokered Advertising: Brainerd Dispatch and Echo Publishing work directly and individually with advertisers and do not accept local brokered advertising.

REQUIREMENTS- THE FINE PRINT

Specs For Sending Ads Our preferred ad delivery format is PDF Version 1.3 (Acrobat 4 Standard). • Due to the nature of the newsprint printing process rich black or black made up of CMYK should not be used. • Type that is overprinted should be no smaller than 5pt, type that is knocking out of more than one color should be no smaller than 8pt. • When using type at the minimum sizes take into account the fonts you are using as some script and thin bodied type may still be too thin at these sizes. • Do not use ICC or embedded color profiling as there could be a potential color shift from what you see on your screen versus what you will see on the final piece. This is due to the fact that your profiles may not match our profiles during final output causing

the colors to shift to try to match our profiles. • All fonts must be embedded. • OPI cannot be used. • Any images used in your original document should be at a minimum resolution of 200 dpi. • All PDF’s created from software that supports layers and live transparencies (i.e. Adobe CS Suite, Quark, etc.) must have all layers and live transparencies flattened within the final PDF delivered to us. If this is not done we can not guarantee your transparency settings will match ours during the digital work flow. This could potentially create undesired effects in the final output of your ad. • PDFwriter is not acceptable for creating a PDF for print production. At our discretion we may occasionally choose to work with PDF’s created from Microsoft Word, Excel,

Avoid

Publisher, or other office applications as best we can, but can not guarantee final output. They are designed for Desktop Publishing not Print Production and typically are missing important capabilities for producing CMYK color, correct font embedding, etc. • We also will accept native files which must include all supporting fonts and graphics. Please call ahead to be sure we have compatible versions of software to open and work with the files. • Any copy not sent as a digital file will be converted digitally (scanned) and will probably suffer a loss of quality in the conversion. • If you have concerns or questions regarding any of the above please feel free to call.

Save Fancy Fonts for Big Titles

Can you read me?

Can you read me? Low resolution logos taken from your website or social media used in print could look like this.

Script fonts, thin fonts and condensed fonts like these are hard to read on a dark background. Especially if they appear in a small ad.

Send high resolution logos.

Make sure you have enough space for fancy fonts to print larger. Keep fancy/script fonts for titles or short sentences. Use easy-to-read simple fonts for paragraphs.
