ABCs of public speaking -By Harvey Mackay
It’s been said there are two times in life when you are truly alone: just before you die and just before you deliver a fiveminute speech. Stage fright can be terrifying, but it needn’t be paralyzing. Delivering over a thousand speeches teaches a person a thing or two about getting through to the audience. Because I am often asked for advice from nervous speakers, I have developed my ABCs of public speaking. A is for audience. Learn all you can about those who will be in attendance so that you can tailor your remarks to hold their interest.

B is for body language. Move around, gesture and use facial expressions to demonstrate your enthusiasm for your topic. C is for creativity. Don’t be afraid to use props, PowerPoint or audience participation to add sparkle and surprise. Even the most serious topics can benefit from a creative approach to make them memorable. D is for deliver. Your presentation needs to have a focused message that leaves the audience with significant takehome value. E is for eye contact, a critical feature of an effective speaker. Connecting with your audience can’t happen without it. F is for feedback. Ask for immediate, unfiltered responses so you can continue to improve your skills. And don’t forget to debrief yourself after the event, including what worked well and what didn’t. G is for grammar. Pay attention to the language you use. Make certain it is correct and concise. H is for homework. Study the organization you are addressing: What are the problems, issues, concerns and opportunities. Mispronouncing names is

unforgivable. I is for introduction. Make sure that the person introducing you is a real pro. Provide a prepared introduction with your pertinent information. J is for jokes. Try them out on several people to make sure they are appropriate and amusing. Humor, anecdotes and stories add so much to a speech as long as they are not offensive. Plays don’t open up on Broadway, they open in New Haven. K is for knowledge. Speakers have to demonstrate a real grasp of the subject at hand in order to be taken seriously. L is for lighting. People laugh more and retain more in brightly lit rooms. Dim the lights only if you are using PowerPoint presentations, and only as long as necessary. M is for masking tape. Seal noisy door latches to avoid distractions. Block off the back rows of chairs to keep the audience up front. N is for noise, which is a real attention Harvey Mackay continued to pg 3

Harvey Mackay continued from page 2 killer. After-dinner speakers especially have to compete with clearing tables and clinking glasses. Consult with the host organization about minimizing noise interruptions. O is for opening. In order to grab the audience’s attention immediately, you need a spectacular opener. P is for practice, practice, practice. There is no substitute for preparation. Q is for Q & A. Take questions five minutes before you are ready to close, so that you have the last word and control the ending. R is for room size. If you have any control over the venue, insist that the room seat only the planned number of audience members. A room that is too big destroys rapport. S is for smile. Let the audience see that you are pleased/happy/honored to be asked to speak. A smile adds instant warmth. T is for Toastmasters International, the organization that I recommend for anyone who wants to hone their speaking skills. It’s tremendous training for speakers at all levels of ability. U is for unforgettable. Make your speech memorable with a well-organized message peppered with clever stories and examples, sprinkled with humor, and wrapped up with a great summary. V is for voice.

timing and inflection. W is for wisdom. You want your message to teach and inform. I’m particularly fond of starting the lessons in my speeches with a “Mackay’s Moral,” words of wisdom that drive home my point. X is for experience. (Yes, I know it starts with “e”.) The best way to become a better speaker is to speak as often as you can. Y is for you. Take pains to look your best. Z is for zip it up. A smashing closing is as important as a gripping opening.

Dave Says -By Dave Ramsey Dear Dave, My mom is 71 and debt-free. She’s investing $600 a month in a universal life insurance policy worth $250,000 because she wants to leave something behind when she dies. What could she invest this money in, other than the life insurance policy, in order to leave an estate? -Steve Dear Steve, This is a good question. You don’t use life insurance to leave an estate. It’s a bad idea. You leave an estate by saving and investing. The only people who will tell you to use a life insurance policy to leave an estate are life insurance salesmen. Unless she’s ill, I wouldn’t keep the policy. Instead, I’d do some long-term investing. It won’t take long to get to $250,000 with $7,200 a year. It’s the kind of thing that sounds like it’ll take forever, but you’ve got to remember you’ve got growth and interest in the equation. I wouldn’t put money into a life insurance policy at age 71, unless there’s someone being left behind who really needs the money — and it doesn’t sound like there is in this case. It would probably take about 13 years for the money to turn into $250,000. Assuming she’s healthy, I’d rather do that and bet on her living. That way, she can leave an estate and avoid the expense and rip-off part of the universal life policy. -Dave Dear Dave, I have a very large amount of student loan debt. Where would that go in your

Baby Steps plan? -Jade Dear Jade, Baby Step 2 is where you pay off all debt except for your house. The fact that it’s a large amount of student loan debt doesn’t change anything. Hopefully, with your very large amount of student loan debt, you also have a very large income. Believe it or not, there are some really sad situations out there where people have gone $200,000 into debt for a four-year degree in a field where they make $50,000 a year. That kind of thinking and behavior is ridiculous, but it’s out there. Whatever you do, Jade, don’t treat this student loan debt as if it were a mortgage. In other words, don’t let it hang around for years and years and years. You’ve got to get focused and intense about paying off this mess and getting on with your life. Remember, your income is your largest wealth-building tool. You can’t save and plan for the future when all your money is flying out the door to pay back debt! -Dave * Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

STRANGE BREED by Steve Langille
Notes from the Capitol By State Rep. Paul Anderson
High transportation costs bite ag. industry
One hundred million dollars. That’s the amount of money the Dept. of Agriculture figures Minnesota grain farmers lost in the past three months because of the high cost of transporting their commodities to market. The announcement of that figure was made last Thursday by Commissioner Dave Frederickson at a meeting in Alexandria that was devoted to the topic of agricultural freight movement. Among the reasons given for the higher cost of transportation were congestion on rail lines and a bitterly cold winter that backed up service. Over the past several years, the cost passed back to farmers by elevators to move grain to market has usually ranged from 30 to 60 cents per bushel, depending on the time of year. This past winter and spring, that cost, called “basis,” ranged up to $1 per bushel. One of the speakers at the meeting was Mike Steenhoek, who is executive director of a national organization called the Soy Transportation Coalition. He said the cost of transportation affects farmers directly, as that cost is always passed back to them. Currently, Steenhoek said, the United States is the most competitive country

in the world for low-cost commodities because of our transportation system. He compared the cost of shipping a ton of soybeans to China from Minneapolis and from Brazil. With our rail and inland waterway system, the transportation cost from Minnesota amounts to 18 percent of the total cost of those beans in China. From Brazil, because most of their soybeans must be shipped long distances by truck, that transportation cost increases to 25 percent of the cost of those beans. However, Steenhoek cautioned that our country may be losing that competitive edge. He said, “We used to be a country that invested in our future. Today, we seem to be just spending money, with no thought about the return to investment. Our transportation infrastructure needs a lot of work.” John Miller of the Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railroad also spoke to the group. He said growth continues among nearly all commodities, including both coal and crude oil. In 2009, the BNSF shipped 11,000 carloads of crude, while that number grew to 400,000 this past year. The movement of grain has also increased, he said, and the infrastructure to move it quickly has also improved. The first shuttle loading facility on the BNSF was put into operation in 1996, while today the number of shuttle loaders has increased to 223. To help facilitate this increase in traffic, Miller said his railroad will spend $5 billion for capital improvements this year. They are adding 500 new locomotives and will continue “double tracking” their most heavily traveled areas. Having, in effect, two main lines side by side in places like Minot, North Dakota, will help increase the flow of all freight heading west. This past winter’s cold temperatures also cut down on railroad efficiency. There

were only five or six days during January and February when the length of trains was NOT shortened due to extremely cold temperatures. Trains’ air brakes don’t function as well in those conditions, so units that usually were 7,500 feet long had to be shortened to 4,500 feet. Miller concluded by saying, “We are committed and will expand to meet this increased demand.” Rep. Anderson can be contacted by email at rep.paul.anderson@house.mn or by phone at 651-296-4317.

Sir Walter Scott was a prominent novelist and poet whose writings were well known, respected and read throughout the world. As he approached death he called for his son-in-law and said, “Bring me the Book!” Knowing that he had a massive library, he was thoroughly puzzled by the request and had no idea what the title of “the Book” might be. Realizing that there were more than 20,000 volumes in Scott’s library, he asked, “What book?” “Need you ask?” replied the literary genius. “There is only one Book, the Bible!” Sir Walter Scott, author of many books and owner of thousands of books, spoke wisely because he knew personally the Author of the Book of books and the message it contained. In this Psalm the writer declares convincingly that “The instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul.” Perfect because it contains God’s message of love, forgiveness and redemption and in it we find everything that is necessary for our salvation. The author also wants us to know that it can be trusted - that its contents are reliable and dependable. So, he adds that “the decrees - or teachings - of the Lord can be trusted...to revive the soul.” Only God’s Word can bring joy to our hearts, give accurate guidance for our journey through life, provide light for our path, give wisdom for our decisions and eternal life through Christ.

One in Five Fatal Crashes Caused By Illegal, Unsafe Speed “I didn’t know I was speeding.” “There must be something wrong with my speedometer.” “I’m not from around here.” Law enforcement officers have heard all kinds of excuses from speeders, and they’ll probably hear many more July 10-27. That’s when nearly 400 Minnesota law enforcement agencies will increase patrols to combat traffic crashes, deaths and serious injuries caused by illegal and unsafe speeding. Speed is a leading contributing factor in fatal and serious injury crashes, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety/Office of Traffic Safety (DPS/ OTS). In the last three years (2011-2013), illegal and unsafe speed was attributed to 212 fatal crashes, 235 deaths and 666 serious injuries. In many crashes, additional factors such as alcohol and distraction often combine with speeding to wreck cars and lives. “Far too many motorists ignore speed limits and put all of our lives at risk on the road by speeding,” said Donna Berger, OTS director. “There’s greater potential to lose control, you have less time to avoid a crash, and the chances are higher of being killed or seriously injured.” Data shows that speeding doesn’t save much time. Traveling at 55 mph versus 45 mph for a 10-mile journey only shaves off about two and one-half minutes of travel time. Minnesota recognizes July 12 as Statewide Speed Enforcement Day, and drivers will notice increased attention from law enforcement as all agencies across the state will be specifically targeting speeding violations. An enhanced enforcement for speed campaign also was conducted June 16-20 because data shows the summer months are the deadliest on our roads. Minnesota Law: The Minnesota statute on speed limits requires motorists to drive with due care: • Every driver must drive at a speed that is reasonable and prudent for the conditions. • Motorists must be aware of actual and potential hazards on the highway and use due care in operating a vehicle. Costs of speeding violations vary by county but typically ramp up to at least $120 for traveling 10 mph over the limit. Motorists stopped at 20 mph over the speed limit face double the fine, and those ticketed at more than 100 mph can lose their license for six months. About the Minnesota Department
Johnson Stump Removal & Tree Trimming
Public Safety: DPS comprises 11 divisions where 2,100 employees operate programs in the areas of law enforcement, crime victim assistance, traffic safety, alcohol and gambling, emergency communications, fire safety, pipeline safety, driver licensing, vehicle registration and emergency management. DPS activity is anchored by three core principles: education, enforcement and prevention. About the Office of Traffic Safety: OTS designs, implements and coordinates federally funded traffic safety enforcement and education programs to improve driver behaviors and reduce the deaths and serious injuries that occur on Minnesota roads. OTS also administers state funds for the motorcycle safety program and for the child seats for needy families program. OTS is an anchoring partner of the state’s Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) traffic safety initiative. Recent OTS Activity and Statistics: • To-date, there have been 155 traffic deaths, four fewer than this time last year. • Minnesota Motor Vehicle Crash Facts 2013 is a summary of last year’s traffic crashes, derived from law enforcement reports and describes how, why and where crashes occurred and who was involved. • The May 19-June 1 Click It or Ticket campaign reported 10,874 seat belt citations and 279 child restraint tickets from 329 law enforcement agencies. • Final reports on enhanced enforcement for distracted driving during April 11-20 reported 827 texting citations from 308 law enforcement agencies. • In a continuing effort to advance traffic safety in Minnesota, DPS awarded new federal grants totaling more than $8.5 million for regional partners to support overtime traffic safety enforcement and educational efforts through September 2014.
