someone, you don’t know what kind of impression this type of story will leave.

Also, try to mask any anxiety if you can. If you have the jitters or talk too fast, you might cause the other person to roll his or her eyes at you. Again, try to keep the focus on the other person, but be careful that you don’t come off as an interrogator rather than a conversationalist.

What if you are meeting someone for the first time when you are in a bad mood? Experts suggest you fake your way through the experience. But isn’t it better to be honest and be yourself? No, they say, because when you are first meeting someone, instead of seeing this as just a passing mood for you, the person may incorrectly conclude that you tend to be a negative person. See if you can find something positive to talk about. If not, apologize for your temporary trouble and hope the other person will give you the benefit of the doubt.

First impressions never count more than during a job interview. A recent CareerBuilder.com survey of over 2,700 hiring managers uncovered some common mistakes – and a few humorous stories.

First, here are the mistakes they noted. Asked what kind of no-nos they’d witnessed during interviews, the hiring Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

How to make a good first impression -By Harvey MackayYou never

get a second chance to make a first impression. Truer words were never spoken. Oftentimes, first i m p r e s s i o n s d e t e r m i n e whether you will even get to make a second impression.

We can all recall first meetings that we wish we would have handled differently. What did we learn from those experiences?

“Psychology Today” magazine gives a few pointers for getting off to a good start when you’re just meeting someone.

When you’re having a conversation with someone you’re meeting for the first time, you should encourage the other person to talk about him or herself instead of trying to make yourself the center of attention. For example, the person you’re conversing with is telling you about a trip he or she just took, and that brings to mind a trip when you got terrible service. You think it’s a great story, but experts warn that you should think before you open your mouth to share such anecdotes. When you meet

managers named these blunders: • Inappropriate attire – 57%.• Boredom or lack of interest – 55%.• Criticizing a current or previous

employer – 52%.• Arrogant attitude – 51%.• Answering a cell phone or texting

during the interview – 46%.• Vague answers – 34%• Not asking good questions – 34%.The winners/losers in the “Hall of

Shame” category included:• One candidate wore a business suit

and flip-flops.• A job-seeker asked if the

interviewer wanted to meet later for a drink.

• The candidate who applied for an accounting job said he was “bad at managing money.”

• A candidate for a customer service

Hometown News • Thursday, October 29, 2015 •

job told the interviewer, “I don’t really like working with people.”

• One person had to leave because his dog had gotten loose in the parking lot.

• A job-seeker spent the entire interview staring at the ceiling.

Much of that first impression is based on your body language. If you want to be seen as a leader right away, show that you mean business in a firm and friendly way. Raise your eyebrows briefly upon meeting someone. It’s a subtle, powerful signal that conveys a positive impression, and it takes just one-fifth of a second. Eye contact sends the signal that you’re interested in what other people are saying. Just be careful not to cross the line and stare, as that would make you seem confrontational. Return handshakes appropriately. Keep in mind that a limp handshake signals a wimpy image, and a crushing grip seems overly aggressive. Stand tall. Good posture says you’re self-assured and

trustworthy.I can honestly say I have almost

never hired anyone who made a bad first impression on me. Sure, I believe in second chances, but I also have to consider what kind of first impression that person would make on my customers. If a candidate makes a bad impression on me, would my customers have the same feeling?

Whether you are looking for a job, meeting a customer for the first time, being introduced to your future in-laws or getting acquainted with your new neighbors, don’t just put your best foot forward, let them see your best self.

Mackay’s Moral: First impressions are lasting impressions.

Bill KremersBill Kremers,

67 year old resident of Bowlus, MN, passed away unexpectedly on Monday, October 26, 2015. A Funeral Service will be held at 11 AM on Thursday, October 29, 2015

Bill was born on May 3, 1948, in Little Falls, MN, to Ben and Lucy (Breth) Kremers. He attended Upsala School, graduating in 1966. Bill entered the military in August of 1967 and served in Vietnam with the 199th infantry. He was honorably discharged in August of 1969.

Upon retiring, he loved making wood and took pride in maintaining the “best lawn around”. He loved spending time with his family and friends, especially his grandchildren.

Out of respect for Bill’s wishes, all visitation will be private. Those that knew Bill knew that he was a simple man and did not like “fluff”.

First grade students at Upsala El-ementary learned how bees benefit our crops and, especially, apple orchards, as they studied with scientist Malia Brandt.

Plant-Mobile Visits Upsala Elementary

Ms. Brandt works for the Minnesota Ar-boretum and travels the state teaching about plants and the environment. Caleb Guthrie was transformed into a powerful bee as students learned about pollination.

Kindergarten, first and second grade Upsala kids followed the life of an ap-ple from flower to fruit, stopping along the way to discover pollination and why bees are the most important workers in the orchard. They also learned how Ar-boretum scientists create new kinds of apples.

Attention Trick Or Treaters

Every fall in Mr. Drill’s 5th grade class in Upsala the students study “Early People” groups and their culture. Their main project is to build a replica of a home from a certain cultural region. Projects are evaluated in four main areas: use of natural products, realistic attributes, creativity, and effort. Four homes leading the way were voted on by some of the Upsala Elementary Staff. They are (from left) Paige Gerads (Straw Hut), Emma Scepaniak (Seminole Stilt House), Emmalee Hollermann (Multifamily Plank House), and Savanah Stumpf (Long House); (back) Nick Klug, Dean of Students. Submitted by Jim Drill.

For its fall play Upsala High School will be presenting “The 39 Steps” on Friday and Saturday, November 6th and 7th, at 7:30 p.m. in the Upsala Auditori-um. It is a comedic adaptation of an old Hitchcock murder mystery movie. This version which is constantly playing for laughs ran for two years on Broadway and was nominated for a Tony for Best Play.

Richard Hannay (Ben Blonigen) has a boring life, but is suddenly thrust into an international spy ring when he meets a mysterious woman (McKenzie Barth) who is murdered in his apartment. While eluding the police he meets Pamela (No-elle Kedrowski) who becomes an un-willing participant in his adventures. Af-ter meeting many interesting characters along the way, it all leads to an eventual showdown with the evil Professor Jor-dan (Andrew Prokott).

Other cast members include Rachel Prom, Samantha Blonigen, Isaac Guth-rie, Gabe Douvier, Andy Ripplinger, Stefani Pohlmann, Lori Vornbrock, Alexis Krebs, Brandon Young, Annika Gunderson, Cheryl Zimmerman, Colin Prom, Shelby Krebs, Anna Blonigen and Lynsey Baggenstoss. The show is directed by Dan Cheney.

Honor gives recognition to the work of someone other than ourselves. It is placing significance, importance or value on what they have done or accomplished. It places them above us in a position that commands respect for what they have done or who they are.

To honor someone requires us, first and foremost, to be humble. We literally bow before them in recognition for what they have done for us or what they have contributed to our lives and to our well-being. What they have done has cost them something personally - perhaps they have had to make a sacrifice and the price is more than we can or are able to pay them for what they have done for us.

Honoring someone is not always easy. Pride gets in the way. Self-importance or

I installed a skylight in my apartment… the people who live above me are furious! -Steven Wright

Thought for the week:

not wanting to stand aside while others move to the front of the line often com-plicates things. It is not easy to give credit to someone when I am obligated to them for what they have done. When we honor someone, we make them look good - often at our expense - and that at times is not easy. Who wants to admit their shortcom-ings or inadequacies to someone who is esteemed.

The Psalmist wrote, “Honor Him for He is your Lord!” Not a very complicat-ed statement. The problem is not under-standing the statement that gives so many Christians a problem. It is in applying it. Honoring or bowing down before God is difficult. Pride gets in the way and be-comes a problem for many.

Pride is what keeps us from serving Him and loving others as Jesus loved them. Pride is what keeps us from being submis-sive to Him when we refuse to serve Him in our churches and witness His saving grace to others who are lost and dying.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramseyabout life and money, so this question definitely qualifies.

Finding a good roommate can be tough. You need to choose someone you like and get along with, but someone who is responsible and has a little maturity, too. Sometimes you’ll have different schedules, and this may lead to people working, studying or playing at all different times. You also have to be respectful of each other’s needs and values, and remember, too, that certain things about another person will eventually get on your nerves a little.

Spend a lot of time talking to people and try to find someone with whom you have a lot in common. You won’t always be on the same page with another person, but, if you take some time and try to choose wisely, it can be a fun and rewarding experience!

-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 just started your class, and we’re determined to get out of debt. At the same time, I’d like to do something to reduce the stress in her life. She’s a nurse, and she works three 12-hour night shifts a week. I’m a

teacher, and I think we possibly could get by if she cut down to just two nights a week and worked part time. Would this be a good idea?

-RandyDear Randy,

The truth is there’s no “possibly” involved. Even without knowing your income and other numbers, it all boils down to one simple question — can you live on that?

It’s a simple math thing. You need to look at your income and her income at 24 hours. Then, go over all of your bills and make a budget. If you can live on that, and it’s what she wants to do, you have the answer.

There’s no reason to do this immediately, either. I mean, we’re only talking about one day a week. Chances are it won’t change your lives that much. It probably won’t hurt anything if she works her regular hours through the end of the year. That way, you guys can keep looking at the numbers and decide on what’s best.

You obviously love your wife, Randy. But remember, this is up to her, too. Continue, with her, walking through the idea and the numbers. Make this decision together, so that you’ll both be happy and it will be a blessing in your lives!

-DaveDear Dave,

I’ll be moving out to finish college next year, and I’m not sure how to find a good roommate. I know this isn’t a money question exactly, but I listen to your show and value your opinion. Do you have any suggestions?

-CarsonDear Carson,

I’m always happy to try to help someone who wants to make good decisions in life. I say that what I do is

For more information, contact Car-lyle Olsen at 320-632-1655.

Planning Workshop

Placement of Political SignsStearns County would like to re-

mind property owners that placement of campaign signs and other unauthorized objects in highway rights of way is pro-hibited under MN State Statute 160.27. In addition, campaign signs may not be placed on private property outside of the right of way limits without landowner consent. Highway rights of way typi-cally include the driving lanes, inside and outside shoulders, ditches and sight corners at intersections.

Crews will remove any unlawfully

placed signs and impound them at one of the County’s local maintenance ga-rages. County staff will hold the signs at the garage for a period of ten days. Dur-ing that time the owners may come to claim the signs. If not claimed after ten days county staff may discard the signs.

Violation of this law is a misde-meanor. Civil penalties also may apply if the placement of such material con-tributes to a motor vehicle crash and injures a person or damages a motor ve-hicle that runs off the road.

Morrison County Sheriff’s OfficeOctober 22, 2015: On Sunday, Oc-

tober 18, 2015 members of the Morrison and Stearns County Water Rescue Teams recovered the body of 34 year old Wil-liam Lee Blake of Little Falls from the Mississippi River. Blake’s body was lo-cated near the Burlington Northern Rail-road Bridge on the north side of Little Falls. Blake was reported missing on October 16th, 2015. Blake was last seen when he had been dropped off near the Burlington Northern Railroad Bridge on the evening of October 14th, 2015.

On the morning of Wednesday Octo-ber 21st, 2015, the body of 36 year old Michael Robert Arndt was recovered from the Mississippi River by the Crow Wing and Morrison County Dive Teams. Arndt’s body was also located near the Burlington Northern Railroad Bridge on the north side of Little Falls.

William Lee Blake and Michael Rob-ert Arndt were transferred to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner’s Office.

At this time it appears there is no sign of homicidal violence. Initial autop-sy results indicate that both victims suc-cumbed to fresh water drowning.

There is no threat to the community at this time. The public is safe.

The investigation is ongoing and will be pending final autopsy results.

At this time the deaths of both Wil-liam Robert Blake and Michael Robert Arndt are being investigated by the Little Falls Police Department, Morrison Coun-ty Sheriff’s Office, Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and Central Minnesota Violent Offender Task Force.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Little Falls Police Department at 320-616-5570.

In the United States, nearly 30 mil-lion women and men of all ages, race and backgrounds suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder, such as an-orexia or bulimia, at some point in their lives. An eating disorder affects the en-tire family.

The meeting will be held locally in two locations on Thurs-day, November 19th: 9:30 a.m. at the Long Prairie City Hall, 615 Lake St. S, and at 1:30 p.m. at the Morrison County Government Center in Little Falls, 213 1st Ave S.

Farm land rental rates have never been higher and determining a fair farm rent agreement is a challenge in today’s economy with current significantly low-er corn and soybeans prices in 2014, 2015 and 2016 compared to recent re-cord corn and soybean prices and record farm land values.

Negotiating a fair rental agreement that satisfies the land owner and the farmer is a challenge. David Bau Pau-line Van Nurden, and Gary Hachfeld, Extension Educators in Ag Business Management, will provide several ways; by examples, fact-sheets and worksheets to determine a fair farm land rental rate for both parties.

Topics covered at the meetings will include local historic and projected farmland rental rate trends, current farm land values and sales, a worksheet that will help determine a fair and profitable rental agreement. Input costs for 2016 will be presented along with current 2016 corn and soybean prices. Work-sheets will examine 2016 costs and what is affordable rent that a farmer will be able to pay in 2016, the rate of return to the landlord at current market values and
