violin for hours, studying hard to achieve perfect grades, working out and preparing relentlessly for the Miss America pageant, or hitting the bricks to break into television news reporting, she kept her goals in plain sight and persevered until she reached them.

She shares how she picked up her violin after a several-year hiatus to prepare for the Miss Minnesota pageant: “Once I started practicing, I was instantly back in my old mode. I discovered that the competitive spirit never goes away. Returning to music taught me something, not just about playing the violin, but about having that fire, that desire to achieve . . . I had put aside my drive, thinking it was time for a rest. But I saw I needed it, I was born with it. You can teach people skills to hone their craft, but unless they have the fire in their belly, the skills don’t matter. I never again let my passion slide.”

Gretchen’s strategy to become Miss America ran counter to the usual contestant’s path. She learned the system by observing rather than participating, turning what she was told is often a four-year plan into a one-year project. She researched her competition and studied the judges. She prepared at every level.

The theme of the 1989 Miss America pageant was “A Salute to Success!” Gretchen says, “I’m not saying that looks didn’t enter it, although I wasn’t even close to being the prettiest. It was about competing on a high level and challenging myself to be at the top of my game. It was about winning scholarship money that would help me pursue my dreams . . . and by the way, I would say to this day that there’s nothing Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

It doesn’t get any more real than this -By Harvey MackayFrom all

a p p e a r a n c e s , Gretchen Carlson has lived a charmed life. From being a child violin prodigy to admission to Stanford University to becoming Miss America to a tremendously s u c c e s s f u l b r o a d c a s t t e l e v i s i o n

personality, happily married with two children she adores, she seems to have it all.

But it was not just handed to her, nor was it a series of lucky breaks. Gretchen’s brand new book, “Getting Real,” is a how-to for developing a life plan and carrying it out.

I am delighted to recommend this memoir by a fellow native Minnesotan. Her story is a remarkable example of how hard work and discipline produced results in every phase of her life.

In her own words, Gretchen was accustomed to making sacrifices to achieve her goals. Whether it was practicing her

wrong with being smart, talented and attractive.”

Let me add a personal note here. I was a judge at the 2001 Miss America p a g e a n t , and it is so much more than a beauty c o n t e s t . Talent counts for 40 percent of the score, the evening gown/personality/expression portion is 40 percent, and the swimsuit competition is 20 percent. In other words, a contestant must be talented and well-spoken if she hopes to have any chance of winning.

But being Miss America didn’t automatically open doors for her future. After completing her degree at Stanford, Gretchen faced the same challenge that so many new grads faced: You can’t get hired without experience, and you can’t get experience without being hired. Again, perseverance and hard work won the day.

Her job search led her to Richmond, Virginia, and then to Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas and New York. She had to deal with sexual harassment and an on-going threat from a stalker who followed her from city to city. Her fighting spirit, however, helped her keep her goal in view. She mentions one of her proudest achievements, the American Women in Radio and Television

“Best Series” award for a thirty-part series on domestic violence for KSAX in Dallas. She currently hosts “The Real Story” on the Fox News Channel.

As a mother, she shares her work ethic with her children. “Personally, I have ambition for my kids to excel, but these days it’s a challenge to define for them what excellence really means,” she says. “I know from experience how wonderful it is to compete and win, and while it is disappointing to lose, it’s also an opportunity for parents to teach kids a very important lesson – that failure in life is a key to success.”

Gretchen has shared a fascinating

story that serves as a blueprint for setting goals and achieving success. Hard work, determination, perseverance – now that’s “Getting Real.”

OPEN HOUSE • SUNDAY, JUNE 28: 1-4 PM

By Corey BorgerdingI have to tell you this awesome story of

how both of my kids caught this first place walleye. We were fishing in the Freeport Family Fishing Tournament on Kings Lake on June 6th. We decided to go after some walleyes because the biggest walleye on the board was 6 ounces.

So we headed out on the lake again and started trolling. It was windy that day so I decided to use the big motor to troll. It didn’t take long and my daughter Faith said she had something, I turned and looked at the end of her rod and it wasn’t bouncing like there was a fish on it. I followed the line down and it went right to the motor. I told her to stop reeling because it was caught in the motor.

I lifted the motor to get the line out but I couldn’t unwrap it so I grabbed the end with the hook on it and it started pulling back, there was a fish on it yet! I started pulling it in and it came to the surface, it was a huge walleye! I kept pulling it in then the line broke. I looked at my daughter and she said “see dad I told you I had a fish on.”

I got the line out of the motor and started heading out deeper again then my son Ethan’s line got caught in the motor. So I had to get his line out of the motor too. After about 10 minutes and re-tying 2 lines we were fishing again.

We didn’t go 10 feet and my son said he had something. I got up and watched him and it was really taking line out. It was going to the back of the boat again so I quick turned the motor off so it wouldn’t get caught again. I thought it was a big northern the way it was running, but Ethan started gaining on it and then he said “there he is dad!”

I grabbed the net and looked out and there it was... a huge walleye!

I tried getting it in the net but it took off. I was shaking and scared it would

Faith and Ethan Borgerding of Albany both caught this 8 pound, 8 ounce walleye.

The Big Catch on Kings Lake

brake the line again but Ethan got it back in and I landed it! We took the hook out and there in the top lip was my daughter’s hook!... it was the same fish!

We were done fishing and headed in. It was 30 inches long and weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces, which took first place!

Now there is fighting over whose room it’s going in.

A great appreciation to all the people that put this tournament together. The kids really look forward to it every year.


Watching a child take his or her first steps is a marvelous sight to behold. Pic-tures are taken, memories created and lives changed.

Recently a mother and father brought their infant son to the Garden for his first steps. After finding the “perfect” location for this historic event, the father gently placed his hands under the child’s arms. As the child looked down at his tiny feet and with uncertainty began to “toddle” forward, the father relaxed his grip. Slow-ly, as the child began to walk on his own, he removed his hands completely. After a few staggering and uncertain steps the lit-tle fellow began to carry his weight on his own two feet. The parents were thrilled!

Suddenly, the child lost his balance and fell to the ground. Rushing to pick him up the father smiled, hugged him and encouraged him to “try again.” There was no scolding nor rejection for falling down. Rather, the father lifted him, dried his tears and helped him to begin again.

How like our Heavenly Father. If the Lord is delighted in the way we walk - even though we fall - He will come to our rescue, lift us up and “make our steps firm.” As long as we do our part to walk in His ways, He will do His part to give us the stability to “move on.”

When we fall, He does not consider us a failure. He lovingly lifts us up, tenderly dries our tears and then carefully watch-es over us as we struggle to walk in His ways. He will never leave us nor forsake us if we fall.

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson

With the pas-sage of financial bills during the recent special ses-sion of the Leg-islature, the next two-year budget for the state of Minnesota has been completed. Spending has been increased, although the per-centage of that increase is one of

the smallest in recent years. Over-all, we will spend 5.3 percent more than in the current biennium ending June 30, with the largest increase being in the area of K-12 education.

Spending in the area of agriculture, while not a large portion of the state bud-get, saw a sizeable increase. One of the reasons for that was additional funding earmarked for the fight against Avian In-fluenza. State agencies will receive an ad-ditional $6.5 million for their work in this area. Those agencies include the depart-

ments of Agriculture, Health, and Public Safety, along with the Board of Animal Health and the DNR. In addition, $10 mil-lion was allocated to the Rural Finance Authority to make loans with favorable terms to producers affected by the disease. Another $26 million was allocated to the University of Minnesota in the bonding bill to improve the poultry testing lab in Willmar and the veterinary isolation facil-ity on the University campus in St. Paul.

Another area where the Legislature took action this year was in the area of long- term care funding. Nursing homes, especially those in out-state Minnesota, are facing a crisis situation in regard to staffing issues. Because state reimburse-ment rates affect how much they can pay their workers, nearly all facilities were having trouble attracting and keeping staff. As a result, admissions were being curtailed and folks looking for such care many times had to re-locate longer dis-tances from home.

Increasing state payments to local fa-cilities was the No. 1 goal of many rural legislators. We succeeded in passing legis-lation that addresses the situation in sever-al areas. First was an additional $138 mil-lion in senior care reimbursement reform.

This will go a long way toward funding a new payment system for nursing homes that will provide payment for the actual cost of care. This will also help the Elderly Waiver program by allowing their budget caps to stay in line with nursing home rates. The EW is an excellent program that allows seniors to stay in their homes lon-ger by providing needed assistance.

Funding was also allocated for work-force development in the area of long term care. A nursing assistant scholarship pro-gram will receive $1.3 million, while an-other $2 million goes to a new Home and community-based scholarship program that will allow caregivers to further their education while still working.

Summer is officially here, and parade season is in full swing. We had our first last weekend in New Munich, where a good crowd was on hand. Officials were concerned with early-morning rain but the sky cleared and by parade time that afternoon, the weather was nearly perfect. Melrose has its celebration this weekend, with their parade scheduled for Saturday morning.

Crops around the area are looking fairly good. Rainfall so far this season has been abundant, although in some places it’s been too abundant. Second cutting of alfalfa will start soon, and the corn crop should, for the most part, be at least “knee-high” by the Fourth of July.

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.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramseyone, or everyone is telling them it’s what they should do.

Last, don’t ever get caught up in the credit card trap. Your income is your greatest wealth-building tool, so why would you want to take a chance on wrecking your future by sending everything you make to some bank? Live on less than you make, and live by a written, monthly budget.

I think you’ve got a really bright future ahead, Cary. Just remember to have a plan, pile up some cash and stay away from debt!

-DaveDear Dave,

Can you explain interest-only mortgages? Are they a good idea?

-DaleDear Dale,

An interest-only mortgage is just what it sounds like. You’re paying only the interest on the loan, and none of what you actually owe. It’s a good way to stay in debt for the rest of your life, so they’re not a good idea.

Lots of people look at this product and say, “Wow, I’ll get a lower monthly payment, and then I can throw tons of cash at the principal.” Guess what, in most cases it doesn’t work out that way. Why not take out a good 15-year fixed rate mortgage and put a bunch of money toward the principal? Everyone thinks they have a great idea for tricking the system. But the only system that really works is to pay off debt as quickly as you can.

Interest-only mortgages are like

Dear Dave,I’m currently

a senior in college. I’m completely debt-free right now, and I am wondering what I should do to stay this way after graduation.

-CaryDear Cary,

Y o u ’ r e already primed for a great start.

Doesn’t it feel great to know you won’t have a bunch of payments hanging over your head when you walk out into the world? I’m really proud of you!

There are three major traps I tell all new graduates to avoid. One, don’t buy or lease a new car. Save up and pay cash for your cars for the rest of your life. If you saved the amount of an average car payment - about $485 a month - and put it into a good mutual fund from age 25 to 65, you could easily retire a millionaire. Now that’s something to look forward to!

The second trap to avoid is rushing in to buy a house. The first few years after college will be some of the most volatile in your life in terms of career and relationships. Save up a big pile of cash and be patient. Too many young people today go crazy and buy houses they can’t afford just because their friends bought

Morrison County Sheriff’s Office recovers items from a burglary

Morrison County Sheriff Shawn Lars-en reports that burglary charges are pend-ing against three 17 year old males for their admitted involvement in a residential burglary located off 263rd Street, Ripley Township, north of Little Falls, in Morri-son County.

On 6-15-2015, a homeowner called the sheriff’s office and reported the theft of numerous firearms, ammunition, and other miscellaneous items taken from in-side a residence. A Morrison County Dep-uty responded to the scene and met with the homeowner. Information was obtained from the homeowner that led to a possible suspect in the case.

A Morrison County Sheriff’s Deputy and Investigator met with one of the 17 year old suspects at the sheriff’s office and obtained a confession regarding his involvement in the burglary. It was later

learned that two other 17 year old male suspects were involved in the burglary.

On 6-16-2015, a Morrison County In-vestigator met with the other two 17 year old suspects at the sheriff’s office and ob-tained confessions from both of them re-garding their involvement. Investigators were able to recover all of the stolen items that were taken from the victim’s resi-dence, to include two handguns and nine long guns.

The juvenile suspects in this case do not reside in Morrison County. Larsen states that the juveniles have been coop-erating with law enforcement and the case will be forwarded to the Morrison County Attorney’s Office pending preparation of formal charges. Sheriff Larsen stated that a thorough investigation led his deputies and investigators to the recovery of the stolen items.

In an effort to curb alcohol-related boating acci-dents and deaths, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and other public safety agencies around the state will ramp up patrols for intoxicated boaters June 26-28.

The amplified enforcement efforts are part of Oper-ation Dry Water – a national campaign designed to draw more attention to the dangers of boating under the influ-ence of drugs or alcohol.

Boating while intoxicated (BWI) is one of the lead-ing factors for boating accidents and fatalities in Minne-

Drinking, Boating Don’t Mix: Operation Dry Water in Effect June 26-28sota and across the nation. State boating accident statis-tics show that over the past five years, an average of 42 percent of fatal boating accidents were alcohol-related.

In 2014 alone, alcohol was a factor in six out of 14 boating fatalities.

“We have zero tolerance for anyone found operat-ing a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and the state’s strict penalties for BWI make that clear,” said DNR Conservation Officer Adam Block. “Drunk boating is drunk driving. Boaters should be aware that a BWI on your record has the same consequences as a DWI.”

In Minnesota, a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher while operating a boat is against the law – the same limit as for driving a vehicle.

Boaters convicted of BWI face significant mon-etary fines (up to $1,000 for a first offense), possible jail time, impoundment of their boat and trailer, and the loss of boat operating privileges for 90 days during the boat-ing season.

Intoxicated boaters with prior BWI convictions, who have a child under 16 years old on board, or who have a blood alcohol limit of .20, may be charged with a gross misdemeanor or felony crime and subject to higher monetary fines, mandatory jail time, loss of driver’s li-cense, loss of vehicle plates, and forfeiture of their boat and trailer.

“There are severe consequences for boating while intoxicated,” Block said. “But we’d rather arrest some-one than have to tell their friends and family - or the friends and family of an innocent victim - that they’re never coming home. No one should ever be injured or killed because someone chose to drink and boat.”

In addition to highlighting the danger and penalties associated with BWI, DNR boat and water safety offi-cials recommend that all boaters simply leave the alcohol on shore and enjoy recreating on “dry water,” since the effects of alcohol can be quickly magnified by environ-mental factors while on the water, such as dehydration, sun exposure, noise from other boats and sudden move-ment caused by waves or passing boats.

“The DNR appreciates the many county sheriffs’ deputies and other law enforcement officers who will be out in force as part of Operation Dry Water,” said DNR Boating Law Administrator Stan Linnell. “We hope that this highly-visible effort will not only deter drinking and boating this weekend, but will serve as a reminder for boaters to stay safe and sober over the July 4 holiday as well – a time when we typically see an unfortunate spike in alcohol-involved boating accidents.”

For more information on Operation Dry Water and boating safety, visit www.operationdrywater.org and www.mndnr.gov/boatingsafety.

Operation Dry Water activities are sponsored by the National Association of State Boating Law Adminis-trators in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard.
