But as I so often say, knowledge is not power until it is used. This information is a starting point to help you customize every meeting, phone call or email. You need to be creative to make your encounters memorable. Let me give you some examples, shared by readers of this column.

One woman wrote about a practice she used in her years as a customer service rep. Whenever a customer, particularly a new customer, left her a voicemail, she would save the message and listen to it until she could recognize the voice. That would let the customers know that their business mattered to the company.

Establishing that kind of relationship is critical to customizing the sale: It eliminates the formalities and lets the players get down to business. The customer feels more comfortable with the salesperson so the conversation can begin on a high note.

Another reader told about two different encounters she had with people she had hired to work in her home. She was extremely impressed with the person who came to service her air conditioning system, a 30-something who was trying to build his business. He told her about his commitment to providing exemplary service, educating his employees and developing a business structure that utilizes technology to improve efficiency and quality control. He made sure she was completely satisfied with the job and guaranteed his work, which

Customize your customer service -By Harvey MackayIf you’ve

ever had anything c u s t o m - m a d e , you can relate to how satisfying the experience can be. Whether it’s a new house, a tailor-made shirt, or even a special sandwich, getting exactly what you ordered is gratifying.

That’s why I think we should rename customer service to “custom service.” Every customer contact should involve custom care and accommodations. Each interaction needs to be “custom built” to meet the customer’s specs.

I have long preached the concept of humanizing your selling strategy. In addition to building a strictly business relationship, you need to get to know your customer as a person. Find out what their interests are, learn about the family, discover what you might have in common. I have shared my formula for learning about customers in the Mackay 66, a customer profile that we use at

of course, he did correctly the first time. His attention to detail and consideration for her home was not lost on her. She has recommended his company repeatedly.

But the carpenter she hired to customize her closet was a major disappointment. He let her know in no uncertain terms that this job was too small to be worth his time and that he only accepted it because he had an opening in his schedule.

He ignored her ideas and proceeded to install shelving that was uneven. When she asked him to fix the problem, he instead said he would just give her payment back and quit. She was left with a mess but was relieved that he was out of her house. Her custom closet was a custom disaster. I wonder how long he will stay in business.

A friend whose company manufactures industrial parts has worked with one supplier for decades, even though other suppliers call on him regularly, often with more competitive pricing. But he stays with that company because of two experiences that proved their loyalty to him.

Years ago, the third shift had an equipment breakdown in the middle

of the night, the kind of problem that could idle the factory for days and delay deliveries. His supplier’s rep showed up at the factory within hours to offer help tracking down replacement parts or even finding alternate locations for production. Talk about custom service!

Then, when their long-time rep was preparing to retire, the supplier sent the rep and her replacement to spend time at the factory until the new rep was thoroughly familiar with their needs. Instead of relying on files and old orders, they took a very personal interest. That sealed the deal.

Too often, customer service is anything but. One size does not fit all. Your customers deserve your very best. Great customer service is only a starting point. Custom service takes your business to a whole new level.

Mackay’s Moral: If you want to keep your customers, offer custom service.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramseythe wallet and sabotage your emergency fund!

-DaveDear Dave,

I’ve been trying to get control of my money, and the other day I was looking at your plan. Where does buying a house fit into the Baby Steps?

-StacyDear Stacy,

Let’s call it Baby Step 3b. Baby Step 1 is saving up $1,000 for a beginner emergency fund. Step 2 is paying off all consumer debt from smallest to largest using the debt snowball. Then, Baby Step 3 is where you top off your emergency fund with three to six months of living expenses.

Once you’ve done that, it’s time to save up for a down payment of at least 20 percent on a house. If you take out a mortgage, make sure it’s a 15-year, fixed rate loan, where the monthly payments are no more than 25 percent of your monthly take-home pay.

Doing it this way may delay your dream of being a homeowner a little bit. But buying a house when you’re broke is the fastest way I know to become a foreclosure statistic!

-Dave* Dave Ramsey is America’s

trusted voice on money and business. He’s authored four New York Times best-selling books: Financial Peace, More Than Enough, The Total Money Makeover and EntreLeadership. The Dave Ramsey Show is heard by more than 6 million listeners each week on more than 500 radio stations. Follow Dave on Twitter at @DaveRamsey and on the web at daveramsey.com.

Dear Dave,My wife and

I are on Baby Step 3 of your plan. When we have standard car repairs, I want to use the emergency fund. She says that kind of thing isn’t an emergency, and we should just put it off as long as possible while

saving up to fix the problem. Who’s right?

-RyanDear Ryan,

Sorry, you’re both wrong. Cars break. And since no one will invent one that lasts forever and doesn’t break down, standard car repairs shouldn’t be viewed as an emergency. Maintenance and repair of your vehicles are an ongoing expense. It’s just part of owning them. That means you should have a category in your monthly budget for this sort of thing.

Now, an engine blowing up or the transmission going out would be an emergency. Hopefully, you’re not talking about something of this magnitude. But you’ve got to rework your budget to where you have something designated each month for car maintenance and repair. That way, you won’t be dipping into your emergency fund just to cover the basic wear and tear that comes with owning a car.

Take the next step today, and adequately fund this area so it doesn’t continually come back to bite you in

Twenty-five high schools students toured the Chippewa Valley Ethanol Company (CVEC) ethanol plant in Ben-son today to gain a better understanding of renewable fuel production.

The students, from Long Prairie Grey Eagle High School, toured the var-ious processes of ethanol production at the 50 million gallon-a-year facility.

“CVEC as a local cooperative feels the future is very important. Showing these students and other young people how the investments of their parents and grandparents are affecting change for them, and how, is important to our employees, management and sharehold-ers,” said Chad Friese, general manager of CVEC.

The students, from grades 10 to 12, learned several different components of ethanol production during the tour in-cluding incoming grain grading, grain handling, fermentation, grain storage, dried distiller grain production and stor-age, ethanol storage and shipment.

The plant tour was organized by the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association. CVEC is a member of the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association.

“Today’s visit is the third school tour we’ve organized over the last two months and is part of our annual grant program to schools in Minnesota to tour and learn about ethanol production.”

“The ethanol industry plays a vital role in Minnesota’s agriculture indus-try and through these tours, students are given a chance to see and understand the process of converting a homegrown re-newable ingredient into clean energy,” said Tim Rudnicki, executive director of the Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association.

CVEC is an ethanol production co-operative that commenced operations in 1996 and currently has 50 employees.

Long Prairie Grey Eagle High School Visits Chippewa Valley Ethanol

CVEC has hosted many tours of its fa-cilities over the years for high school agriculture students and 4-H’ers.

It has also worked with local school agriculture and science programs. In fact, Friese said, many of CVEC’s lab assistants have come from these pro-grams.

Long Prairie Grey Eagle High School’s agriculture teacher, Curt Gjer-stad, who accompanied the students, said the tour provided his students with an opportunity to see the many career opportunities available to them in the state.

“Ethanol production will continue to be a renewable energy source and vi-able career for Minnesota graduates,” Gjerstad said.

He said biofuels are a topic covered under the school’s Agronomy course, adding he expects some of his students will consider pursuing careers in the biofuel industry.

About The Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association: The Minnesota Bio-Fuels Association is a non-profit organization that represents and promotes the renew-able fuels industry in Minnesota. We work closely with industry stakeholders to achieve our collective goal of a green-er future, a stronger economy in Minne-sota, consumer savings at the pump and a more energy-independent America.

The Upsala School staff is proud to honor Matt Herzog as Upsala School’s October Senior High Student of the Month. Matt is the 10th grade son of Allen and Diane Herzog.

Herzog is an active student both in and out

of the classroom. He has consistently earned a place on the honor roll and es-pecially enjoys Geometry because he feels he will use it in the future. Her-zog is a member of the Upsala FFA and played football this fall. He says football is a valuable activity because it “teaches you to work hard and create future goals.” His future goals include taking over the family farm. In addition to farming, Herzog enjoys hunting and fishing and has worked both on his farm

Upsala Sr. High Student of the Monthand in the construction industry. In his spare time, he volunteers at his church.

Jennifer Henry, Herzog’s English teacher and class advisor, described Herzog as a dedicated and conscientious student. “Matt always has a positive at-titude and strives to do better in his class work. Also, I couldn’t ask for a better person to be president of the sophomore class. Matt steps up, no matter what the task, and goes above and beyond every time.”

Herzog’s advice to his fellow stu-dents mirrors his positive attitude: “School is as hard as you make it. If you fall behind on your homework and never turn in your assignments on time, school will be hard, but if you stay ahead and turn in your assignments on time, school will be easier and more enjoyable.”

“Is your God a great God or a little God?” asked a well-known skeptic of an elderly gentleman known for his deep love of God.

“Well,” he said after a moment’s thought, “He’s both. He’s so great that the heavens cannot contain him, and He’s so little that He can live within my heart!”

This is the identical way that the writer of Psalm 46 spoke of his God: “The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.”

We often have questions about God’s involvement in our everyday affairs and concerns. “Are my personal problems,

Men can starve from a lack of self-realization as much as they can from a lack of bread. -Richard Wright

Thought for the week:

even though they are small and only matter to me, important to Him? When I have the flu and feel horrible, does it make any difference to Him? What about the threat of violence, terrorism, children being gunned down at school? What about the preacher being tried in Iran as a heretic? What about the war in Afghanistan?”

“The Lord who is Almighty,” said the Psalmist, “is with us” - not may be or should be or will be - but is with us this very moment. Wherever we are - He is. From our smallest need to our greatest problem He is with us and is always ready, willing and able to do His will for us and through us.

Yet, there is more: He is not only with us, but He is our fortress. When this Psalm was written, a fortress was a place of security and safety. It was built on an isolated, elevated place to provide protection from the enemy. It was the place to go if an enemy was approach-ing.

What powerful thoughts: Our God is an Almighty God who cares for each of us and protects us from any threat in life.

Thaw and cook your Thanksgiving turkey safelyBy Deb Botzek-Linn, University of Min-nesota Extension

On Thanksgiving, many of us will take on the challenge of cooking 12-20 plus pounds of poultry. The basics of roasting a turkey at 325°F for approxi-mately 15 minutes per pound are pretty simple. But, there is more to the safe preparation of the turkey.

Before purchasing the turkey, as-sess your freezer and refrigerator space. Is there ample freezer space to store a frozen turkey and enough refrigerator space to thaw a turkey?

Thawing a frozen turkey takes time. In the refrigerator allow 24 hours (or more) for each 4-5 pounds of turkey. Hold no more than 1-2 days after thaw-ing. You can speed up the process by thawing in cold water. Place the turkey in its original packaging in cold water, allowing 30 minutes per pound to thaw. Change the water every 30 minutes. Cook the turkey immediately after it is thawed. Do not thaw frozen food on the counter.

To stuff or not to stuff? For optimal safety and uniform doneness, the USDA recommends that stuffing be baked sep-arately. Stuffing in the turkey may not reach 165°F—the temperature needed to kill any bacteria present.

Even if your turkey has a “pop-up” temperature indicator, it is recommend-ed that you also check the internal tem-

perature of the turkey in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thick-est part of the breast with a food ther-mometer. A whole turkey is safe when cooked to a minimum internal tempera-ture of 165°F. Consumers may prefer to cook the turkey to higher temperatures of 170°F in the breast and 180°F in the thigh.

Within two hours, put leftover cooked turkey in shallow containers and place in the refrigerator. Use leftover turkey, stuffing and gravy within three to four days. Cooked turkey keeps for three to four months in the freezer. When us-ing leftovers, reheat the food thoroughly to 165°F.

For answers to your turkey prepara-tion questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline toll-free at 1-888-674-6854 Monday-Friday and on Thanksgiv-ing Day from 7 a.m.-1 p.m.

Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson

The annual A g r i G r o w t h meeting and con-ference was held at the Minneapo-lis Convention Center last week, and it’s one of the annual events I put on my don’t-miss calendar.

To p - n o t c h speakers and the latest in agricul-

tural news are the usual fare, and this year’s event featured more of the same. Michael Swanson, agricultural econo-mist and senior vice president of Wells Fargo, led off the day’s schedule with his outlook on the economy. He said three major trends will affect the ag economy in the coming months, with the biggest impact possibly coming from a stronger dollar and higher interest rates.

The emergence of China with its level of imports is also huge, along with our nation’s bio fuels policy. Swanson predicted an increase in long term in-terest rates, something that could begin in December when the Fed meets for its monthly meeting. After years of low rates and a weak dollar, we should an-ticipate the dollar going up in value rela-tive to other nations’ currencies.

That trend has already started, and it will continue, according to Dr. Swan-son. It will have a large impact on our ability to compete in the world export market, as American products become more expensive in comparison to those same products from other countries. He mentioned soybeans and dairy, as two agricultural commodities that rely heavily on the export market to absorb our excess production. Currently, four countries, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and China, account for over half of our agri-cultural exports.

Swanson also discussed the cost squeeze facing American farmers. Net income has come down rapidly in the past two years, while the cost of in-puts has remained stubbornly high. Ten years ago, for example, American farm-ers spent $217 billion to raise crops and livestock and were left with $57 billion in net farm income. This year, they are expected to spend a whopping total of $377 billion on inputs and will be left with about the same income level as ten years ago, $58 billion.

Also on the program was Peter Zei-

han, founder of Zeihan on Geopolitics, who gave a fascinating speech on Amer-ica’s role in the world since WWII and how we will maintain that position. With our Navy, he said, we guaranteed the safety of world trade as we assembled a block of nations to fight the cold war. With 10 super aircraft carries at our dis-posal, we will continue in that role.

With our country’s access to two oceans and the largest inland river trans-portation system in the world, we have been blessed with low cost infrastruc-ture to move our goods and also the iso-lation from most of the rest of the world. He showed a slide naming the wars in Europe over time that have caused a dis-ruption in their supply of food, and those wars filled the entire page. Contrast that to America, he said, and the only two conflicts that caused such disruptions here were the Revolutionary War and the Civil War.

He predicted that America is two years away from energy independence, saying that natural gas is our most wide-ly used energy product, and we have the lowest price for it. As baby boom-ers retire, they are driving less, and he also said that the advent of hybrid cars has lowered our energy demand by one percent.

We have experienced some beautiful fall weather of late. I even saw a group of motorcycles on the road this past Sun-day, Nov. 15. The dry fall led to a quick harvest, and crops throughout our area and the entire state were, for the most part, excellent. Prices for most crops and livestock have been falling, how-ever, and it’s difficult to come up with positive cash flows. It would appear that, barring a major weather situation some-where in the world, we are in for several years of tight or non-existent margins.

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.

Interesting Info. Gained at Annual Ag. Meeting

Upsala Jr. High Student of the MonthThe Upsala

School staff is pleased to an-nounce Peyton Guthrie as the October Junior High student of the month. Pey-ton is the 8th grade daughter of Annette and Ronald Guthrie.

Guthrie, a consistent A honor roll student, says English is her favorite class because it goes by fast and is fun, and she en-joys reading. Roxann Lewis, Guthrie’s

Global Studies teacher, says, “Peyton is a great student to have in class. She is very conscientious and works diligently to meet her academic goals. She comes to class each and every day with a posi-tive attitude and an eagerness to learn. Peyton is a fantastic role model for her peers.”

In addition to her strong academic performance, Guthrie has also lettered in track and is a member of the basket-ball, volleyball, and knowledge bowl teams. Outside of school she enjoys being a part of her church youth group and participating in the monthly service projects.

DNR QuestionBy Lori Naumann, DNR nongame wild-life program specialist

Q: I noticed the DNR eagle cam is back online. Do bald eagles in Minne-sota migrate for the winter, or do they stay on their summer nests?

A: Many Minnesota bald eagles do not migrate. As long as they have ac-cess to open water, they can and do stay here all year. In fact, with the installation of the eagle cam, we have learned that eagle nests are rarely vacant. Eagles are bonded to their nesting territories, and staying around ensures that it will not be

taken over by another eagle or pair of eagles.

The eagles along the Mississippi River and Hawk Ridge near Lake Su-perior during spring and fall are mostly migrating eagles. Most of the eagles come from Canada and use the Missis-sippi flyway to travel south to their win-tering grounds.

November 15, 2015: At approxi-mately 1806 hours Shawn Asseln of Long Prairie was traveling west on County Road 13 in Burnhamville Township when he struck a deer with his vehicle. The vehicle sustained front end damage. Asseln was not injured in the crash.

November 17, 2015: Ralph Haas-ser 75, of rural Long Prairie called the TCSO to report a mail scam. Haasser received a mailing from Canada that claimed to be from Publisher’s Clear-ing House. The mailing claimed that Haasser had won five million dollars. There was a check enclosed and Haas-ser was directed to cash the check and return a portion of the money as pro-cessing fee to receive the remainder of the prize money. The TCSO reminds citizens to be careful of these types of mail scams.

A parent’s goal is not to raise good kidsWe know our goal is not to keep

our kids happy, turn them into little soldiers or fulfill our unmet dreams. But if the goal is not to raise good kids, then what on earth is it? Andy Andrews puts it this way: “The goal is not to raise great kids. It’s to raise kids who become great adults.”

It’s a subtle but powerful distinc-tion. Kids can behave well out of obe-dience or fear, but that doesn’t mean they’ll do what’s best when they ven-ture out on their own. Raising kids who become great adults requires in-stilling character traits that will govern future decisions and actions.

One of the best ways you can make sure your kids are ready to face adult-hood one day is to teach them how to handle money now. That’s because money isn’t just about money.

When you teach a kid to work, you teach responsibility.

That’s because work — whether it is chores around the house or a job at the mall — involves follow-through, best efforts and accountability. Work shows kids that they alone are in con-trol of their actions, and that they will reap the rewards of their labor. Great adults are responsible.

When you teach a kid to spend, you teach wisdom.

Spending money is fun. Kids to-tally get this. When you get involved, kids learn that, yes, spending money is fun. But it’s also something that should be done with care. Smart spending re-quires good judgment. Great adults use wisdom.

When you teach a kid to save, you teach patience.

Kids today are growing up in a world of instant gratification. Sav-ing money forces them to slow down. This may hurt a little at first, but that’s

okay. Saving money will show kids they can’t always have what they want the moment they want it. Great adults practice patience.

When you teach a kid to give, you teach generosity.

Generosity is defined as the will-ingness to give, but that doesn’t come natural to many kids. As a parent, encourage the act of giving. Then, watch their hearts change. Generosity is a necessary weapon to fight against selfishness and greed. Great adults are generous.

When you teach a kid to avoid debt, you teach honesty.

Debt allows people to live a lie. With debt, you can buy a bigger house, drive a nicer car and eat fancier din-ners. If your kid wants to avoid debt for life, they’ll have to be honest with themselves and everyone around them as to what they can actually afford and who they really are. Great adults are honest.

When you teach a kid to be con-tent, you teach gratitude.

Contentment comes from realiz-ing that God owns it all. He created everything we have and all that we are. He cares about it all, too. When kids grasp this concept, they can be okay with who God made them to be and what God has given them to manage. If your kids learn to be content, they will be grateful. Great adults practice gratitude.

Imagine your life 20 years from now. Your kids are grown and gone. What do you hope for their future? Keep those dreams in mind as you start working with them today for a better tomorrow!

I saw a feather on the road as I walked. I picked it up then. I wish it had talked. Was it illegal or was it fair game? I didn’t need to know, but just the same... Did one less feather mar the bird’s long flight?

Minus The Feather -By Jan Klug Did he sleep colder in his nest that night? Did he run to his mama for his loss? Was he ashamed at work, to show his boss? Did he shove for his place at the table? At the bird bath, to bathe was he able? Did some bird, somewhere, push, prod or pry? Did the aggravation make him keen to cry? Did he have to hide from his friends-plus foe? Did he feel that bad that no one should know? Did you see a bird minus one feather? Was the poor fellow under the weather?

Hunters register nearly 120,000 deer through second weekend

Minnesota firearms hunters regis-tered 118,599 deer through the second weekend of firearms deer season, up from 104,785 from the same period in 2014, according to the Minnesota De-partment of Natural Resources.

“Hunters are seeing more deer this year as we continue to build deer populations across much of the state,” said Steve Merchant, wildlife popula-tions and regulations program manag-er. “We’ve again issued a conservative number of antlerless deer permits, and because of this, many hunters are see-ing deer they can’t shoot. However, pa-tience this year should translate to more harvest opportunities in the future.”

Final numbers from the first 10 days show that the number of deer registered rose 13 percent from 2014. Buck harvest during the first 10 days of the firearms season was up 18 percent from last year, indicating that the population has in fact grown from its low point two springs ago.

Zone 1 total firearms harvest was up 14 percent, Zone 2 was up 17.5 percent and Zone 3 was up 7 percent. Buck har-vest was up significantly in all zones.

The DNR is projecting the 2015 to-tal deer harvest to be between 140,000

to 155,000 deer. The 2014 total harvest after last year’s conservative season was just over 139,000.

In much of Minnesota, the last day of the firearms deer season was Sunday, Nov. 15. Additional deer will be harvest-ed during the northern rifle zone season, which continues through Sunday, Nov. 22; the late southeastern season, which runs Saturday, Nov. 21, through Sunday, Nov. 29; and the muzzleloader season, which begins Saturday, Nov. 28, and continues through Sunday, Dec. 13.

New this year, hunters can preview an interactive deer information tool be-ing developed by the DNR at www.mnd-nr.gov/deermap. This map is the first step toward launching an online application that delivers useful information hunters need and want. Hunters are encouraged to take a look at the application, discuss it and provide DNR with feedback.

More information on deer manage-ment can be found at www.mndnr.gov/deer.

FacebookI am trying to make friends outside

of Facebook while applying the same principles. Therefore, every day I walk down the street and tell passersby what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what I have done the night before, what I will do later, and with whom.

I give them pictures of my family, my dog, and of me gardening, taking things apart in the garage, watering the lawn, standing in front of landmarks, driving around town, having lunch, and doing what anybody and everybody does every day.

I also listen to their conversations, give them the “thumbs up” and tell them I like them.

And it works just like Facebook! I already have four people following me: two police officers, a private investigator, and a psychiatrist.
