By Harvey Mackay
When I am interviewing po-tential employees, one of the traits that I look for is confidence. I’m not referring to hu-bris or arrogance, but someone who understands their ability and is not afraid to use it.
With the college football season just starting, it reminds me of a revealing story my good friend Lou Holtz told me when I helped bring him in to coach the Uni-versity of Minnesota football team back in 1984.
“I was at a convention just after tak-ing the job at North Carolina State,” Lou said, “and I was talking to Wayne Hardin, who was coach at Temple.”
Hardin asked, “Lou, do you think you’re the best coach in the country?”
Lou answered, “No way. I’m not even in the top ten.”
“Well,” Hardin said, “North Caro-lina State hired you because they think you are. If you don’t act like you are, you shouldn’t even be coaching.”
Joel Hawksley | The Grand Rapids Press
Confidence doesn’t come naturally to most people. Even the most successful people have struggled with it in their ca-reers. The good news is that you can de-velop confidence, just like any muscle or character trait, if you’re willing to work
hard. The better news: These tips can help you strengthen your confidence. Here’s what to try:
• Don’t compare yourself to others. Focus on your own achievements and ambitions, not anyone else’s. Other peo-ple will always be more suc-cessful than you at different stages of your life and career, and obsessing about them will only send your confidence plunging. Concentrate on identifying and improving your own unique strengths and skills.
• Track your success. Keep a log of your accomplish ments, large and small. Recording victories on a daily basis will make you feel more successful, and look-ing over your progress will boost your self-esteem. In addition, reviewing your achievements should give you some good ideas for what to work on next.
• Practice being assertive. Take an ac-tive role in pursuing success, no matter how anxious you feel. Start by visualizing situations where you feel nervous, and pic-ture yourself being assertive. Make these scenarios as vivid as you can so you’ll be ready for them in real life. Check your body language in a mirror, and practice good posture and a self-assured expres-sion. Then go out and take a few chances, starting with low-risk situations. Once you’ve survived those, you can move on to bigger personal challenges. You may be surprised by how practice helps make perfect endings.
• Accept that failure is not the end
of the world. Learn from your mistakes. Understand that the pursuit of perfection often limits your accomplishments. Many great achievements have been far from perfect, but were more than good enough to be proud of.
• Step out of your comfort zone. Push yourself beyond your known limits, and see how successful you can be. When you realize what you can accomplish, your confidence soars. Your potential is unlim-ited. You are the only one who can limit it.
• Set goals. Decide what you want to accomplish, both in your career and per-sonal life. Reaching goals is a tremendous confidence builder. It also spurs you to set higher goals.
• Prepare to succeed. Keep improving your skills and you will build confidence. Knowing that you are capable is central to a positive self-image. Take care of both your body and your mind.
One of the greatest violinists of all time was Nicolo Paganini. Born in 1782, he had a long illustrious career before his death in 1840. One day as Paganini was

Believe in yourself: How to develop your confidence

about to perform before a packed opera house, he suddenly realized that he had walked out on the stage with a strange violin in his hands - not his own treasured instrument made by the master violin maker Guarneri.
Panic-stricken, but realizing that he had no other choice, he began to play with all the skill he possessed. Everyone agreed afterward that he gave the perfor-mance of his life. When he was finished, the audience gave him a standing ovation.
In his dressing room after the concert, when he was praised for his superlative performance, Paganini replied, “Today, I learned the most important lesson of my entire career. Before today I thought the
Harvey Mackay continued from page 2music was in the violin. Today I learned that the music is in me.”
Mackay’s Moral: Your mind is your most powerful ally in developing confi-dence.

Lydia A. BeuningLydia A.
Beuning, age 93 of Melrose, died peacefully on Thursday, September 13, 2012 at the Pine Villa Care Center in Melrose, Minnesota.
Mass of Christian Burial was held Tuesday, September 18 at
St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Melrose with Rev. Marvin Enneking officiating and Rev. Ken Thielman concelebrating. Interment followed in Calvary Cemetery in Osakis.
Lydia Agnes Hinnenkamp was born March 15, 1919 in Melrose Township, Stearns County, Minnesota to Frank and Elizabeth (Schmeising) Hinnenkamp. She married Ambrose Beuning on May 9, 1946 at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Melrose and they resided in Osakis, Minnesota most of their married life. They also raised their family in Melrose, Spicer/New London and Alexandria. They enjoyed life on the farm and also through their established businesses. Since Ambrose’s death in 1988, Lydia returned to her hometown of Melrose.
She was a member and former president of Daughters of Isabella of Osakis, a member and patriotic instructor for 12 years at the Schanhaar-Otte Veterans of Foreign War Post 7050 Auxiliary in Melrose, a life member of the Miraculous Medal Association, a member of Ladies Catholic Order of Foresters and Senior Citizens (secretary for 6 years), Prayer
Chain for St. Mary’s Catholic Church, American Legion Auxiliary Melrose Unit 101 since 1973, St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Melrose, and the Christian Mothers.
Lydia was an excellent homemaker and a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She enjoyed writing and journaling as well as story telling with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She enjoyed playing cards, especially 65, King’s Corner and 8 card Golf. She loved birds, flowers, dancing and crossword puzzles. Lydia was blessed with a remarkable memory.

September 17, 2012: At approxi-mately 7:30 p.m., the Todd County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a female party reporting a disturbance in-volving her sister at a rural Grey Eagle residence. Prior to the arrival of depu-ties, the situation escalated and moved outside the residence. It was then dis-covered that one of the female combat-ants, Brenda Baker, (55 YOA) of rural Grey Eagle was in possession of a rifle and was threatening herself and the other female. After the initial contact with the deputy, the unarmed female was secured and moved to safety. Other deputies ar-rived to assist and Baker was taken into custody without incident. The incident has been referred to the Todd County At-torney’s Office for formal charges. The sister, Christine Rohde (44 YOA) of ru-ral Grey Eagle, was also taken into cus-tody on charges related to this incident.

By Saralee PerelAfter my spi-
nal cord injury, I nearly gave up kayaking even though I could still use my arms. My husband, Bob, and I used to go so fre-quently that we
planned our work schedules around the tides.
Even though I tried several years ago, I’ve been afraid to try again. But re-cently I forced myself. We took our two-person kayak to a beach near our home on Cape Cod.
On the shore, with the kayak in the water, Bob held it steady while I tried to get in. I have no balance and my legs don’t work well. I was using my cane, but each time I put one foot in the boat, I started to fall. Finally I said, “I can’t do this.”
Although I’ve never been a believer in angels, at that very moment I met my first two: Carol and Barbara.
As if she knew all about me, from my physical dis-abilities to my self-imposed emotional ones, Carol came right over and put her arms around my waist while Bar-bara said, “Don’t give up. You can do it.”
“Put your foot here,” Carol said, guiding my left foot into the boat. Al-though my arms were shak-ing fiercely from grasping the sides of the kayak, that did not discourage these wondrous women. Literally come hell or high water, they were determined to get me into that boat.
When I finally made it, I raised my paddle with both arms and shouted my victory cry: “YAY!”
When Bob and I headed onward
Helping Hands Aid My Voyageto the beautiful sea, I turned around to thank my angels. But they were gone, never to be seen by me again.
I am writing this story in honor of Bob’s birthday. He’s of an age when it’s time for me to emphasize what matters the most. But I shouldn’t wait for a spe-cific day to express myself, not only to my husband but to all my lifelines, most of whom don’t even know they hold that place in my heart. And most of whom are hopefully reading this story.
We’ve always listened to recordings of our favorite songs while we kayaked. On that glorious day on Cape Cod Bay, my gratitude was expressed in a song from “Dirty Dancing.”
Now I’ve had the time of my life.And I’ve searched through every
open door.Till I found the truth.And I owe it all to you.

to all the helping hands in my life: I couldn’t have made so many life-affirm-ing changes without you.
And so, kayaking was frightening but vital for me to do. For your moments of deepest fears, I bet Barbara and Car-
ol will be there in spirit behind you. I hope you’ll hear the echo of their words: “Don’t give up. You can do it.”

Because fire danger is high to very high across major portions of the state due to the continued drought conditions, the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is initiating burning restrictions in north-western and north-central Minnesota, be-ginning at 1 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23.
The counties having limitations placed on campfires and open burning include: Becker, Beltrami, Benton, Cass (north of Highway 200), Clearwater, Douglas, Hubbard, Kanabec, Kittson, Lake of the Woods, Mahnomen, Marshall, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Otter Tail, Pen-nington, Polk, Red Lake, Roseau, Stearns, Todd, and Wadena.
Campfires or recreational fires out-side municipalities are allowed only in a designated receptacle designed for such use and associated with a residence, staffed campgrounds such as state parks, or resorts. In addition, no burning permits will be issued to the general public and no use of fireworks will be allowed outside of municipalities.
The severe drought has brought wild-fire conditions to the point that fires start easily from sparks or windblown embers and spread rapidly. Presently, without the ability to use water to drown campfires, it will be difficult to properly extinguish them.
The DNR and other wildfire agencies in the state have brought in additional re-sources and placed them on a Level 5 alert,
Restrictions on campfire and open burning take effect Sunday
the highest planning level. The Minnesota Incident Command System agencies are concerned that prolonged lack of rainfall has allowed even the large woody debris and standing conifer trees to ignite eas-ily as well as areas with peat soils. Both lead to difficult demands on firefighting resources to protect life and property.
According to the DNR, fall weekends bring many people outdoors to recreate, including hunters, campers, and others who want to have campfires.
The DNR urges everyone to use ex-treme caution where campfires are al-lowed. Charcoal fires are not limited at this time, but they should not be left un-attended. Make sure they are completely out before leaving. Recreationists should also pay attention to parking locations in the woods. Hot engines and catalytic converters can ignite fires, particularly in these dry conditions. Check that spark ar-restors on recreational vehicles are work-ing properly.
Fire conditions change quickly. For more information and maps, and to check fire conditions, visit www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire/firerating_restrictions.html.

As the fall harvest progresses, the risk of farm fires increase, according to the Minnesota Department of Natu-ral Resources (DNR). These fires can spread rapidly and cause significant losses in crops and machinery.
The DNR offers the following tips to help avoid farm fires:
• Prepare machinery. An overheated bearing or spark from an improperly lubricated fitting can instantaneously ignite dry plants and field debris. Make sure fire extinguishers are fully charged and the right size and type for the area. Fire extinguishers are divided into four
Farmers can take steps to help avoid fall harvest farm fires
categories, based on different types of fires. Each fire extinguisher also has a numerical rating that serves as a guide for the amount of fire the extinguisher can handle. The higher the number, the more firefighting power.
• Keep equipment clean. Through-out the day, remove chaff, leaves and other combustibles from motors, ex-hausts and moving parts. A gas-powered leaf blower is great for blowing debris from machinery.
• Service grain storage and drying equipment. Inspect all bearings, belts and motors. Keep weeds mowed around
the facilities to discourage a fire from spreading. Be sure extinguishers are ful-ly charged and the proper size and type for the area.
• Turn off interior lighting in filled bins. A grain fire can start if grain sur-rounds the bulb. Turn off the light’s breaker to avoid accidentally turning the light on. This also applies to hay storage facilities.
• Till a 30-foot break around build-ing sites, remote bin sites and outside storage facilities to minimize the poten-tial spread of fire. Remove weeds and other combustibles around structures and stored equipment.
• Handle hay properly. Store hay away from combustibles such as gaso-line, fertilizers and pesticides, and away from open burning areas. Arrange round bales in groups of 10 or fewer and place
at least 100 feet away from structures. Leave 30 feet of mowed grass, bare ground, or rock between bale groups to create a solid fire break.
Check stored hay frequently for hot spots. Be aware of a caramel or strong burning odor, a strong musty smell, and/or hay that is hot when touched. If any of these occur, call the fire department

If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride - and never quit, you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards. - Paul Bryant
Thought for the week:
Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson
Much has been written and said about the new wolf hunt-ing season here in Minnesota, which will start in areas of north-ern Minnesota in November. Wolves were re-cently taken off the endangered-species list in
Minnesota by the federal government because their numbers have recovered. Although it’s difficult to get an accurate count, estimates place the number of wolves in Minnesota around 3,000.
The application deadline was Sept. 6, so if you had an idea of hunting them this fall and hadn’t applied for a license yet, it’s too late for this year. The season will be strictly monitored with a target of 400 animals to be harvested, either by hunting or trapping. Judging from testi-mony heard in the Environment Com-mittee last session, taking a wolf - espe-cially by hunting - will not be easy. They are wily animals and can move about in a range of many miles. We were told that in Montana a wolf season is held con-current with the elk hunt, and the num-ber taken last year was 79.
I received a number of emails from those opposed to having a wolf season so soon after they had been taken of the en-dangered list. I don’t recall any of those messages coming from district residents, in fact most came from the metro area or out-of-state. We were shown pictures of what a pack of wolves can do to a cow or calf or to sheep. Reports of farm animals being taken by wolves are most common
in northwestern Minnesota.A recent study showed that the state
paid out more than $100,000 in damages to farmers because of wolf depravation. Federal sharpshooters and trappers were called in to the areas where the great-est amount of damage was being done, and more than 200 wolves were taken in that fashion last year. It’s thought that because of our lack of snow last winter, wolves had more difficulty taking deer so they relied more heavily for food on farm animals or pets.
Controlling the damage done by wolves in that fashion is not cheap, and with the animal being taken off the en-dangered list, that cost has now fallen to the state. Having a hunting season, where those who receive a license through a lottery system and pay a total of $34 for their permit, makes more sense. Three zones have been established - northwest, northeast, and east central - and each has a harvest target. If and when that number is reached in any of the zones, hunting will close in that area. The early season begins Nov. 3 and goes for either nine or 16 days, depending on the zone, while the late season for both hunting and trap-ping starts Nov. 24 and closes Jan. 31 of next year.
Fall harvest is in full swing. With our dry and warm summer, crops are maturing several weeks earlier than nor-mal. Even the leaves on trees are turn-ing color and beginning to drop. Have a good fall and a safe and successful har-vest.

Harvest Fires continued from page 7immediately and do not move the hay. Moving it exposes overheated or smol-dering hay to oxygen, speeding the fire.
If a fire occurs, remain calm and call 911 immediately. Do not wait until all your means of fighting the fire are ex-hausted. Every minute impacts losses. Many field and bin sites do not have 911 addresses, so be prepared to identify an intersection or landmark to direct re-sponders.
To help control field fires until fire-fighters arrive, quickly disk a fire break around the fire. Be cautious when doing this as smoke will starve and stall a mo-tor, and will make hazards and bystand-ers hard to see. To assist with a structur-al fire, make sure there are no flammable
objects nearby. If the circuit panel is safely accessible, turn off the building’s electricity. If time allows, evacuate any livestock to a distant pasture. Do not take risks.
After using any equipment to fight a fire, check air filters, ledges, nooks and crannies for burning debris.
For more information, contact Tom Romaine, DNR fire supervisor for southern Minnesota, at 507-359-6048 or Bill Glesener, northwest region Firewise communities specialist, at 218-308-2364.
A shopper once said to a sales as-sociate, “I want the most beautiful gold heart that you have in your store on the finest gold chain available for my fian-cé.”
After considering many different choices, he made his decision, and said,
“I’ll take that one.”“Shall I inscribe her name on it?”
asked the sales associate.“Oh no!” came the instant reply.
“If we break up, I would like to use it again.”
How different is God’s love. We hear it in the words of Jesus when He said, “I have loved you with an everlast-ing love.” How comforting it is to know that God’s love is permanent. How for-tunate we are to know that God’s love is guaranteed by His Word. How won-derful it is to know that God’s love is for everyone. And finally, how grateful we are to know that His love makes our salvation through Jesus Christ possible.

Phase III Forever Young singers will present a concert on Sunday, September 23 at 7:00 p.m. at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Upsala. Refreshments follow-ing the concert.

Phase III Forever Young singers Concert soul that only years of life experiences can generate.
The three dozen chorus members range in age from 55 to 85. Currently, they come from areas around Melrose, Sauk Centre, Grey Eagle, and Upsala. Most are retired, but not re-tiring. Five years ago, Mel-rose area senior citizens de-veloped Phase III, a social organization for persons in Phase III of their lives. Its purpose is to initiate any activities that appeal to
members. Quickly, persons who love to sing found each other and have evolved into Forever Young.
Practicing once a week from April until Christmas, the chorus has built up an extensive repertoire of spirituals, pop, country, folk, Broadway, and patriotic numbers. They also have a separate rep-ertoire of Christmas music. In addition to this concert, they will continue to perform for organizations that request entertain-ment.

A stolen pellet gun from a local retail outlet has been recovered by a K-9 team from the Minnesota Department of Natural Re-sources (DNR).
State Conservation Officer Scott Staples of Carlton and his K-9 partner “Schody” re-sponded to a Sept. 7 request by the Cloquet Police Department to help locate a man who had fled into the woods after allegedly steal-ing a black pellet gun from the local Wal-Mart. Cloquet police apprehended the sus-pect, but officers were unable to locate the gun.
The DNR K-9 team returned to the search area the following day and observed a woman associated with the subject standing in the woods talking on a cell phone.
“When I asked her what she was doing she didn’t say anything and just looked at me,” Staples said. “I then asked if she was just hanging out back in the wooded area. She stated she was and immediately left the area.”
Staples noted the license plate number of the vehicle the woman was driving and ran a records check. A driver’s license photo iden-tified her as the woman he saw in the woods.
Staples and Schody then moved back into the wooded area and started to do a search where the woman had been standing. After a short search they moved to two sepa-rate areas that had not been searched the pre-vious night. At the first location they found nothing. They hit pay dirt at the second loca-tion when they K-9 began digging into a thick grassy area beneath some small pine trees.
“I walked over to where he was and he came out of the thick grass with a black pel-let gun in his mouth,” Staples said. “Given the amount of time that had elapsed since the
Be it poaching or recovering stolen property, DNR K-9s are on the case
incident occurred, it’s just amazing that he found it in that dense vegetation.”
He gave the dog commands to “stay” and “hold.”
Staples snapped a picture of the dog with his cell phone and had the K-9 drop the gun into his hands. Cloquet police were notified and took possession of the pellet gun. The man, recently released from prison, remains in jail awaiting charges.
DNR’s three K-9 teams provide special-ized resources to assist conservation officers, allied agencies and the citizens of the state with specialized capabilities in support of the DNR’s mission, through utilization during daily patrols and resource inspections, or in targeted enforcement efforts, such as detect-ing concealed wildlife or fish, searches for missing persons and tracking violators.
