You become more convincing in your meetings and your encounters. And you become a better leader, manager and salesperson.
I never pass up an opportunity to promote Toastmasters International, which started in 1924 and today has 292,000 members in 122 countries and nearly 15,000 member clubs. Toastmasters changed my life.
Another organization that can dramatically change your life is Dale Carnegie Training. I am also a proud graduate of Dale Carnegie.
You may not aspire to a public speaking career, but chances are, you will need to speak in front of a group at some point. I have a very useful tool to make speaking easier. It’s called “Harvey Mackay’s 35 To Stay Alive.” It’s available free at www.35tostayalive.net. I’ve chosen a few key tips from that tool.
The three most important keys on giving a good speech are: 1) Room size. 2) Room size. 3) Room size. You want the excitement and chemistry of a standing room only, bumper-to-bumper crowd. Extra space is a killer. Also try to avoid rooms with high ceilings. Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3
Don’t let public speaking leave you tongue-tied -By Harvey MackayRegard les s
of the title on your business card, everyone is a sales person whether you want to admit it or not. Why? Because from the time you get up in the morning until the time you go to bed at night,
you are continually communicating, negotiating, persuading, influencing and selling ideas.
When you can get up on your feet and talk extemporaneously on a lot of subjects, this instills confidence, develops poise and breeds conviction.
H a v e the first row set very close to the stage. Too much space between the speaker and the first row can destroy connection with the audience.
Studies show people remember more and laugh more in brightness. Turn the lights up full blast, unless you are showing overheads.
Practice … Practice … Practice. Know your stuff. Don’t ever give another speech without it being entertaining as well as educational.
Never, never, never end your program with a question and answer session. You cannot control the agenda or the quality of the questions. Start the Q & A five minutes before the end of your talk, then end with an awesome story.
Find out who the group’s last three to five speakers were and how they were received. Ask why they were successful or why they failed.

of any city you are to speak in. They will give you loads of information to familiarize you with the local surroundings and help you personalize your remarks.
Never mispronounce a person’s name. If you’re not sure, check with the sponsor. Then double check.
Stick to your allotted time and don’t go over it.
If you don’t have a smashing “opener” and “closer,” go back to the drawing board. Don’t step up to the microphone until you do.
And finally, number 35 on the list: Debrief yourself within twenty-four hours of a speech, and take ten minutes to write down what you could do better the next time. Try something new every time you speak and you’ll never become stale.
Above all, you must know your audience. For example, Harold calls Al and asks him if he is coming to the Rotary meeting tomorrow night.
Al says, “Yes.”Harold says, “I have a problem.
My guest speaker just cancelled. Might you be able to fill in?” Al says he will be happy to.
Harold says, “What might you talk about?”
Al says, “Oh I don’t know … I’ll probably talk about sex.”
The next day Al gives his speech and gets a standing ovation. Al goes home and his wife asks him how his speech went. Al says, “Very well.”
His wife asks, “What did you talk about?”
Now Al knows his wife doesn’t think he knows anything about sex, so Al says, “skiing.”
“Oh,” she says, “I see, skiing.”The next day Al’s wife is at the
supermarket and runs into Harold’s wife. And Harold’s wife says, “I heard your husband gave a great speech at Rotary. He must be terrific.”
And Al’s wife says, “I don’t
Harvey Mackay continued from page 2 understand. He has only done it once and his hat blew off.”
Mackay’s Moral: A public speaker should stand up to be seen, speak up to be heard and shut up to be appreciated.

Bernice Loretta YamryMass of
Christian Burial celebrating the life of Bernice L. Yamry, age 89, of Holdingford, was held on Monday, August 10, 2015 at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church in Opole. Father Gregory Mastey officiated and burial was in the parish cemetery. Bernice
passed away early Wednesday morning at HCMC in Minneapolis.
Bernice was born on January 13, 1926 to Victor and Julia (Kuklok) Bieniek in Opole. She was raised alongside ten siblings on the family farm. Bernice married Alphonse Yamry on August 19, 1947 and their union welcomed a total of 17 children. She was a busy stay-at-home mom who mothered everyone. Her home was open to all and she welcomed her nieces, nephews, and many others along the way. She often would teach a lesson by having her children and grandchild work around the farm. Bernice enjoyed farming, milking cows, and gardening. She was a wonderful cook and baker, and her dishes are remembered fondly, especially her fresh-baked bread, coffee cake, and many among other dishes. She loved holidays and made them special for her family and friends. Her sense of humor, wit, and quick comebacks were legendary and always brought a smile to
people’s faces. Bernice was very proud of her children and the feeling was mutual as they say she was the best mom, grandma, and great-grandma there could be. She enjoyed playing dice games, doing puzzles, and painting ornamental birdhouses. Bernice belonged to Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, the Christian Mothers, Missions Group, and St. Victoria’s.
Bernice is survived by her children Alphonse Jr. (MaryLou) Yamry, Roseau; Jane (Vern) Lieser, Anoka; Fritz (Diane) Yamry, Nevis; Catherine (Bill) Becker, Waite Park; Mary Carmel (Marty) Andreasen, Walker; Christine (Bill) VanHoorik, St. Michael; Julie (John Wellman) Smoley, Holdingford; Victor (Carolyn) Yamry, Hugo; Gerard (Lisa) Yamry, St. Joseph; Bernice “Sugar” (Ken) Opatz, Opole; Joe (Schonda) Yamry, Washington; Bonnie (Keven) Sunderman, St. Rosa; her siblings Leander (Louise) Bieniek, Holdingford; Ludger “Butch” (Carol) Bieniek, St. Cloud; Marcel (Kathy) Bieniek, Sartell; Marlene (Dennis) Symalla, Stillwater; Victoran (Don) Carlson, Mora; Victor (Bonnie) Bieniek, Little Falls; 33 grandchildren; 55 great-grandchildren; as well as many more family and friends.
She is preceded in death by her parents Victor and Julia Bieniek, her husband of Alphonse in 2010, her sons Michael Yamry, Marvin Yamry, three infant angels John, Kevin, and James, her grandson Kevin Becker, her siblings Claude Bieniek, Ernest Bieniek, Celestine “Bessie” Bieniek, and Felix Bieniek, and her son-in-law Ricky Smoley.
Arrangements were made with Miller-Carlin Funeral Home, Holdingford.

The Farm Family Recognition Program is coordinated by the University of Min-nesota Extension; the College of Food, Agriculture, and Natural Resources Sci-ences; and the College of Veterinary Medicine and recognizes families from Minnesota’s 87 counties who have made significant contributions to Minnesota agriculture and their communities. The 2015 Farm Family Recognition Pro-gram took place today at Farmfest.
The 2015 Farm Family of the Year award winners for the counties in Dis-trict 09B are: Todd County: Hollermann
Family Dairy Farm; Morrison County: Monarch Suffolks; Greg and Patricia Cox.
“Family farms and the agriculture industry play such an important role here in Minnesota, employing thousands of workers, putting food on our table, producing fuel for our cars, and more. I’m grateful we have family farms like these operating and doing the important work they do in our community, and am glad to see them being recognized at Farmfest. “
Kresha is preparing House resolu-tions for each of the families to recog-nize their award.

Many celebrities do not want to be “recognized” as “role models.” They do want attention and accolades, recogni-tion and rewards, popularity and pres-tige. But they do not want the “pressure” to have to live lives that reflect integrity and honesty, purity and decency. They do not want, as many of them have said, “to be a role model.” And continue, “I want to live my life as I choose.”
Many of us, however, do want “role models.” We do want someone to look up to, to follow, to be our hero, our ex-ample. Often we think, “If I can see it,

Thought for the week:
Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson
Gov. Mark Dayton has been pushing for a special legisla-tive session to deal with the economic impact of the walleye fishing season being closed on Mille Lacs Lake.
A special working group has been con-
vened, and it has met twice to discuss the problem and come up with pos-sible solutions. The governor has even named the date. However, there doesn’t appear to be widespread support at this point for a special session. The problem is larger than simply dumping walleye fingerlings into the lake, which up to this point, has not been done before. Its genetics have come only from natural reproduction within the lake.
We are told the lake’s water temper-ature is rising, which is not conducive to walleyes. There are also issues with netting fish. All these topics are com-plex, and until reasonable solutions are on the table, a special session may not produce the long term, hoped-for results that Minnesotans all want for this lake.
Hope you’re enjoying our comfort-able summer weather. For most areas, rainfall has been abundant, although it seems that the same general areas keep getting the heavier amounts. Southern parts of the state got doused again Sun-day evening so their crops should be made, and the same holds true for parts of our area. Prospects for outstanding yields of corn and soybeans seem realis-tic, that is, if we don’t receive any “hard water” in the form of hail during the rest of the growing season.
I had one field of wheat, and it produced a good crop. Some was con-tracted for delivery off the combine so it
was hauled directly to the elevator. My smile quickly turned to a frown, how-ever, when results of the grading process revealed a low protein content.
Because most of the wheat grown this year has been low in protein, it was explained, the discounts are heavy. Start-ing from a standard 14 percent level, 10 cents is subtracted from the selling price for every one-fifth of a percentage point below that level. Since my test came back with a figure of 11.1 percent pro-tein, the discount was a whopping $1.45 per bushel. That’s roughly one-third of the entire value of the wheat, since the base price that day was around $4.50 per bushel!
To take that large a discount for one grading criteria doesn’t seem right, and it certainly means that growing wheat this year was not a money-making prop-osition. At these current price levels, the income off that field won’t even come close to covering the out-of-pocket ex-penses such as land rent, seed cost, and fertilizer. With these large discounts, the big grain companies that buy our wheat are not encouraging us to grow more of it. And I’ve never seen a loaf of bread with a sticker on the wrapper saying the flour in this bread was made with low-protein wheat.
Our parade season came to a close this past weekend with the celebration in Belgrade. Beautiful weather and good crowds made for a fun day.
The Pope County Fair was also held last weekend, and that area was hit with heavy rain Thursday, which made for wet conditions and caused their demo derby and tractor pull to be cancelled. The Douglas County Fair is set for this weekend as our summer is rapidly wind-ing down.
High school football practice started this week with the entire schedule state-wide being moved ahead by two weeks. This marks the second year of the state championship games being played out-side because of no domed stadium, and the risk of bad weather late in November is the reason dates have been moved up. The new Vikings Stadium is scheduled to be ready in time for the following sea-son.
Rep. Anderson can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by phone at 651-296-4317. To receive email updates sign-up on his webpage at www.house.mn/13a.

I can do it. If there is someone who has done it, I know others can do it and so can I!”
David, in many ways, can be “a hero” for most of us. However, he did not want that responsibility. Not because of the pressure that it would put on him. He knew and wanted everyone else to know that his hero was his Lord and he wanted others to “hero-up” to Him.
“Blessed,” he said, is the person who “trusts in the Lord,” and does not “look to the proud or turn aside to false gods.” Whenever we look at David, we see a man who knew victory as well as defeat, who sinned and had to plead with God for His forgiveness. He recognized his failures and would never set himself up as a model. And he recognized that there was only One person he could look up to as a model: his Lord and Savior.
When we put our faith in Him we know that He is not a “false god.” We can follow Him confidently!

Dave Says -By Dave Ramseythe deal. You’re more than able to do this every few years and not move the needle where your finances are concerned.
Go get that new, better car, Linda. Just don’t go into debt to make it happen!
-Dave Dear Dave,
My wife and I are recent graduates with advanced degrees. We also have about $300,000 in student loan debt. We’re thinking about buying a rental property, and the plan is to get a mortgage with monthly payments of $400 and charge $800 in rent. We could use the extra to help pay off our debt. Do you think this is a good idea?
-JeremyDear Jeremy,
Are you serious? You’re in a financial crisis, and you ask if it’s okay to buy a rental property? No, no, no!
Right now, you guys are acting like Congress. You have a huge mess on your hands, and you’re both going to have to work like crazy to clean it up. That means living on rice and beans for the foreseeable future. It means no vacations, and you should not see the inside of a restaurant unless you’re working there to make extra money.
Again, no! You should not buy a rental property. Even if you did, this plan assumes that it’s constantly occupied and the renter actually pays. Those are two pretty big assumptions. Use whatever money you have to get out of debt, and live simple, inexpensive lives until you get this behind you.
Stop trying to borrow your way through all of your dreams, Jeremy. Doing that will only turn those dreams into nightmares!

Dear Dave,I’m 61 and
on disability, but I’m completely debt-free and I have more than $1 million in assets. I even try to spend no more than four percent of the principal each year, so I don’t dip into it. I need to buy a better car, and I
realize that I have three options — pay cash, do a lease or finance the vehicle. What do you suggest?
-LindaDear Linda,
There’s no way I’ll ever tell you to lease or finance a car. You have a nice, peaceful financial life, and you don’t want to mess that up.
New car leases are one of the biggest rip-offs on the planet. Consumer Reports, and my calculator, both say leasing is the most expensive way to operate a vehicle. And why would you want the hassle of car payments when you’re in such good shape with your money?
I’m alright with you buying a new car, because for someone like you it’s such a small portion of your overall financial picture. I advise people to always buy good, used cars unless they have a net worth or $1 million or more, and you definitely fall into that category. Still, my advice is to pay cash or don’t do

Assistant Majority Leader Rep. Ron Kresha, R-Little Falls, chaired today’s first meeting of the Legislative Task Force on Child Protection Tuesday, one of eight lawmakers on the newly-created panel.
Rep. Kresha is joined on the Task Force by the other three members of the Governor’s Task Force on the Pro-tection of Children: Rep. Joe Mullery, DFL-Minneapolis, Sen. Kathy Sheran, DFL-Mankato, and Sen. Julie Rosen, R-Vernon Center. Four additional members were appointed to the panel by House Speaker Kurt Daudt, R-Crown, and Sen-ate Majority Leader Tom Bakk, DFL-Cook, last month; Rep. Peggy Bennett, R-Albert Lea, Rep. Tom Anzelc, DFL-Balsam Township, Sen. Carla Nelson, R-Rochester, and Sen. Jeff Hayden, DFL-Minneapolis.
The committee was created in 2015 as a part of the Health and Human Ser-vices omnibus bill and is tasked with re-viewing the reforms passed last session which stemmed from recommendations from the Governor’s Task Force on the Protection of Children, looking at ways to expand efforts into related areas of the child protection system, working with the commissioner of human services and other partners to establish and evaluate a grant program aimed at addressing dis-parities in child welfare, and identifying additional reforms to be considered next session. The Task Force will issue a re-port on their findings early next year.
Kresha Chairs First-Ever Meeting of New Legislative Child Protection Task Force
At the meeting, the Task Force was given an overview of legislation passed in 2015 by Senate Counsel Joan White, and were briefed on the role of the De-partment of Human Services (DHS) in the child protection system by Assistant DHS Commissioner Jim Koppel. Many legislators shared their goals for the task force, and heard from three testifiers during the public comment period.
Representative Kresha issued the following statement regarding the first Task Force meeting:
“It has been an honor to work on such an important issue with my col-leagues all of whom are deeply commit-ted to ensuring that our child protection laws are working the way they should be. This is something we have to get right; we need a strong child protection system not only to prevent tragedies like we’ve been seeing in the news, but to reach every child and ensure that they are able to achieve their full poten-tial. That includes partnering with our schools and developing strategies that further engage them in child protection efforts. I believe preventing and inter-vening to stop abuse and neglect is a small but important piece of our efforts to close the achievement gap. I am look-ing forward to the work ahead of us of reviewing our recently passed reforms and exploring additional tools and strat-egies we can implement to make the sys-tem even stronger.”

Local Municipality Minuteson how to fix the problem. Mike suggested try a mixture of gravel and calcium chloride to see if that would hold up. On 116th it was reported the beavers had damaged the roadway. Ray hired Lyon Wild-life Service to trap the beavers and Herdering Inc. cleared the culvert. Ray asked the clerk to check on li-ability on the swimming beach, he felt we could get into a lot of prob-lems if someone gets hurt out there. Ron reported that he had a call on the tiling thru Chickadee Dr. as to why the Board gave permission to tile thru the road. As of this meet-ing work had not yet started. Ron reported on the letter he received from Beau Liddell, Area Wildlife Supervisor, about 343rd Ave. be-ing gated. Ron has received several calls from people who walk or bike the road and wondered why it was gated. Ray says there is plenty of access along 341st Ave. and the township doesn’t need this road. Beau stated in his letter that his of-fice has no intention of resrticting access to the State Wildlife Area. A Township resident asked who bought the gate? Ron stated Town-ship did not buy the gate and that he would recommend it be taken down.
Additional agenda items: Erv Herdering asked if the Board would like him to redo the west end of 130th w with calcium chloride again. The Board ageed to have it applied again. Also, the end of Cozy Cove has washed out again and Erv asked the Board for recom-mendations to try for repair of this area. Mike suggested trying the cal-cium chloride mixture there also.
