Are You Sure?
by Pastor Cornelius R. Stam
Would you like to have the knowledge, the assurance and the joy of sins forgiven? Would you like to be sure of heaven?
Well, the first step to heaven is to realize that you cannot get there by trying. You cant walk there. You cant climb there. You cant fly there. Only God
can take you there. Many try to earn heaven. They try to climb there on a ladder of good works. They talk about adding another rung. But look out for
that good works ladder! Its not anchored at the top and the higher you climb the farther you will fall.
Gods Word says that salvation is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast (Eph. 2:8,9). He is not going to have boasters in heaven
there are enough of them on earth and nobody likes them.
All of us should realize that even the best of us are not good enough for heaven, for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23),
but in this same statement the Apostle Paul declares that believers in Christ, who died for our sins, are justified freely by His [God's] grace, through the
redemption that is in Christ Jesus (Rom. 3:24).
Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ (Rom. 5:1).
So, friend, it is not by trying, or crying, or praying, or paying, or doing anything that you will reach heaven: it is only by believing. God says He loves
sinners, and that Christ died for our sins. Will you believe this and trust Christ as your Savior? The terms are stated very plainly in John 3:35,36:
The Father loveth the Son and hath given all things into His hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life, and he that believeth not the Son
shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth on him.

And when day came, he called his
disciples and chose twelve of them,
whom he also named apostles:
Simon, whom he named Peter, and
his brother Andrew, and James, and
John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
and Matthew, and Thomas, and
James son of Alphaeus, and Simon
who was called the Zealot, and Judas
son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who
became a traitor. (Luke 6:13-16)
We as the church are called to be
change-agents out in the world.
Change sometimes involves taking
risks. We know that the risks we take
for God in the name of Jesus Christ,
will always work out for good. But,change still comes hard for most
folks. Some of us, though, myself
included, can be rather zealous in our
desire for change. We want change to
happen right now or as soon as
possible. Sometimes we have to be
told to calm down in our zeal for
change. Websters dictionary defines
zeal as to be excited, intense
enthusiasm, as in working for a
cause, ardent endeavor or devotion;
ardor, fervor. In other words, we can
become so intense we can be a little
like Simon the Zealot whom Jesus
chose as one of His disciples.
The followers of the Zealots were
those of a radical political and reli-
gious sect in ancient Palestine who
openly resisted the Roman rule.
Simon the Zealot wanted the Romans
to be thrown out of the country right
now, and in place of Roman rule, a
desire that the Savior, Jesus Christ
would be the King in Palestine. The
dream was to have another Golden
Age like that experienced under King
David.
As a Zealot, Simon would have
fought to the death to make sure that
Jesus would become ruler and king,
and perhaps he and the other disci-ples ruling alongside Jesus. Can you
imagine Jesus and the other disciples
telling Simon to hold down his enthu-
siasm and cool it for awhile, at least
until the time when the world would
truly be ready for change? When the
time was right, and Jesus felt they
were ready, all of the disciples would
be change-agents out in the world.
In order for us to be change agents
today, we also must be open and will-
ing to change for the sake of Jesus
Christ.
Recently, at our Annual Conference
in Bismarck, ND, I learned some
new things to try in the local
church. I would like to make these
changes to make the church bet-
ter. Hold me down in my enthusi-
asm, because I would like to make
these changes happen right now,
or as soon as possible. Then, I am
reminded of the astronauts who
stepped foot on the moon forty-four
years ago and how things changed,
thats one small step for man, one
giant leap for mankind.
A friend and colleague of mine,
who is also in the ordained min-
istry, understands my zeal for
change. He told me perhaps I need-ed to cool it. He reminded me that
in order to make change happen in
the church, I should not attempt it
alone. He said I need to work in
ministry together with the people in
the church. Those steps toward
change need to be baby-steps, and
not one giant leap. So, change
will happen, gradually. Change is
gonna happen, just not as fast as I
would like. But, thats okay. And,
when I think about it, my friend,
who has been in the ministry longer
than I, may be on to something.

2012 NAP & ACREPRODUCTION DUE JULY 15
Producers must annually pro-vide the quantity of all harvestedproduction of the crop in whichthe producer held an interest dur-ing the crop year. We have sentout the NAP Yields form andCCC-658 form which lists youracres and a spot for you to recordyour production. The deadline forreporting this production is July15, 2013. Production reporting isrequired for all 2012 crops onfarms with NAP coverage orenrolled in ACRE as applicable.
FAILED CROPS NEEDTO BE REPORTED
Failed acreages must be report-ed within 15 days of the disasterevent and before disposition of thecrop. Filing an accurate acreagereport for all crops and land uses,including failed acreage and pre-vented planting acreage, can pre-vent the loss of benefits for a vari-ety of programs. Acreage reportsare required for many Farm Serv-ice Agency programs. All acreagereports are to be certified by theJuly 15, 2013 deadline.
Acreage reports on crops forwhich NAP assistance may bepaid are due in the county officeby the earlier of July 15, 2013 or15 calendar days before the onsetof harvest or grazing of the specif-ic crop acreage being reported.

The Value of Disease
Resistance
During a recent session of col-
lecting wheat samples for disease
analysis with SDSU Small Grains
Pathologist, Shaukat Ali, and Ag
Research Manager, Rick Geppert,
we found a field containing signifi-
cant leaf rust. A quick phone call to
the producer revealed that the
field was planted to a variety
known for desirable characteris-
tics he considered important for
that field, but not resistance to
leaf rust.
The producer knew the variety
was susceptible to leaf rust,
planned to make a fungicide appli-
cation, and did, but not before
there was some level of infection.
We made visits to several other
fields in the area and found little
or no leaf rust.
In this time of relatively high
commodity prices and the proven
effectiveness of fungicides, fungi-
cide applications have become
somewhat commonplace. For some
producers its not a question of
whether they will apply a fungi-
cide to their wheat, but when,
which product, and/or how many
times.
This raises the question of thevalue to todays farmers of the
efforts of pioneers in wheat breed-
ing like Norman Borlaug and
Edgar McFadden, who developed
wheat varieties with resistance to
rust. After hearing multiple
research reports citing the effec-
tiveness of fungicide applications
at a meeting in the past year, I
somewhat facetiously asked the
question, is disease resistance still
valuable? The answer, which I
expected, is obviously, yes.
For most of the fields we sam-
pled on the day referred to earlier,
resistance to leaf rust was working
well, and could very well make a
fungicide application unnecessary.
While leaf, stripe and stem rust
are currently all confirmed to be
present in South Dakota this year,many wheat fields remain rela-
tively free of those diseases. This
lack of disease is partly due to the
lack of rain many areas have been
experiencing, but also to the
resistance bred into the varieties
planted in those fields. If wet
weather does prompt fungicide
applications, the disease resist-
ance provides some of the protec-
tion as no fungicide is 100 percent
effective, can be applied at the
ideal time, or lasts long enough to
keep the plants completely free of
infection.
Questions are still coming in as
to whether fungicide applications
can still be made to wheat fields.
At least in south-central South
Dakota, about all of the spring and
winter wheat fields are in the milk
stage or later, well past the labeled
time for fungicide applications.The good news is, once wheat is at
the hard-dough stage, which isnt
far off, late-season disease infec-
tions will no longer be harmful.

Problems with EasternRed Cedar 2013
by Nathan Kafer
The eastern red cedar to most isconsidered to be the superman oftrees. Cedars are consideredimpermeable in most areas butthings have changed here in 2013.Due to the last three years of envi-ronmental conditions all treeshave become stressed. When treesget stressed, even cedars, insectsand diseases can emerge and caneventually kill trees. These insectsand diseases are called secondaryattackers, which have emergedmore this year due to the past twoyears of high moisture, dry win-ters and drought. Secondaryattackers are usually, but notalways, present on the trees. How-ever, if trees get stressed theyemerge and start to affect thetrees in a negative way. With theeastern red cedar trees, there aretwo main secondary attackers,Cedar Bark Beetle and JuniperBlight.
The cedar bark attacks bothrocky mountain juniper and east-ern red cedar. The symptoms areindividual twigs wilt, die, andbreak off, occasionally this canaffect the entire tree. You will alsosee small holes on the trunk of thetrees with galleries beneath thebark. The control for cedar barkbeetle is removal and burning ofinfested branches or trees. In addi-tion you can treat by applying aninsecticide with the active ingredi-ents Carbaryl or Permethrin byearly June that is labeled for barkbeetles. You need to treat thetrunk and all branches that areone inch or larger.
The other disease problem isjuniper t blight which is one of
three types of fungi. Juniper blight
is either a Phomopsis fungi, Cer-cospora fungi, or Kabatina fungi.Cercospora symptoms occur in thelate summer with the oldest nee-dles on the lower inside branchesturning bronze or red and thesymptoms are limited to the nee-dles. Phomopsis and Kabatinafungi affect shoot tips which turnyellowish brown to red and theneventually become brown. Kabati-na symptoms occur on new growthin April and May with the browntissue dropping in June. Phomop-sis symptoms occur during thegrowing season from May to Sep-tember. Control for the Cercospo-ra fungi is by applying the activeingredient Copper three times.Once in mid-June, early July andmid-July. However, Cercospora isnot a common disease. Phomopsisfungi can be treated with theactive ingredient Copper or Pro-priconazole at 14-day intervalsbeginning in mid-May and contin-uing until the growing ceases ordry weather begins. There is notan effective control for Kabatinafungi as it will enter through awound, and infection occurs in theautumn. With juniper blight, it isrecommended to have a profes-sional look at your trees to obtainthe correct diagnoses. Sampleshowever, may need to be sent in sothat the diagnosis is confirmed.
With most tree problems pre-vention is always the best. Butwhen it comes to environmentalissues not much can be done. How-ever by watering and mulchingyour trees they can have a betterchance of staying stress free andhealthier.
Farm Beginnings class helps kickstart new operationsAfter four successful years
training new farmers on the east-ern side of the state, Dakota Rural
Actions Farm Beginnings courseis moving west and will be offeredin Rapid City this year. FarmBeginnings is a farmer and ranch-er-led training and support pro-gram that provides participants
the opportunity to learn first-handabout low-cost, sustainable meth-ods of farming and ranching and
the tools to successfully launch aprofitable enterprise.
We are very excited to be mov-ing the Farm Beginnings course toRapid City so other aspiring farm-ers and ranchers may be given achance to live out their dreams ofliving off the land, said coursegraduate and farmer Aaron John-
son, who also serves on the pro-grams steering committee. John-son is now a partner at Johnson
Farms, an organic grain operationnear Madison, S.D.
Farm Beginnings participantscan be of any age, do not need tocurrently own land, and come fromwide range of experiences andfarming and ranching interests.Nearly 40 families have enrolledin the course over the last four
years and 83 percent of graduatesare currently engaged in farmingactivities (only 30 percent reportedinvolvement in farming activitiesbefore taking the class).
Farm Beginnings was thelaunching pad we needed to getstarted, said Anne Hauglid,farmer and course graduate. Oursuccess as JHA Farms stemmedfrom our experience with the class.We went from zero farm income toover $21,000 gross sales last yearfor our broiler and egg business.Were looking to increase that thisyear. If it hadnt been for FarmBeginnings we wouldnt be raisingchickens successfully today.
Farm Beginnings classes areheld November to March and focuson topics such as whole farm plan-ning, financial and business plan-ning, marketing, and connectingwith resources and mentors. Allclasses are led by establishedfarmers and ranchers and agricul-tural professionals. There areopportunities for students to fur-ther their skills by participating inmentorships with local farmersand 4-6 field days are offeredthrough Dakota Rural ActionsFarmer Network in the summer.Over eighty-percent of coursegraduates participate in these on-farm activities after finishing thecourse.
Danny Dyck of Worthing, S.D.,completed the course and followedup with an internship where hegained the production skills neces-sary to for him and his wife tolaunch their own CSA, Deep RootGardens, which is now in its sec-ond season of production. SaidDyck, I've found Farm Begin-
nings and the Farmer Network tobe indispensable tools for connect-ing to other local farmers, informa-tion, and hands-on skill-buildingworkshops. I am always looking tosee what kind of valuable info theNetwork will provide me withnext.
Prospective participants shouldcontact Dakota Rural Action at605-716-2200 or email ProgramCoordinator Heidi Kolbeck-Urlacher at [email protected]. Class size is limited andearly application is encouraged.
Application deadline for the 2013Rapid City class is October 18.There are a limited amount ofscholarships available to help withtuition costs. Course informationand online application can befound at www.dakotarural.org/farmbeginnings.
Farm Beginnings is an estab-lished curriculum developed over adecade ago by the Minnesota-based Land Stewardship Projectthat is now replicated in severaldifferent states, including Ill.,Neb., N.D., and N.Y. Dakota Rural
Action has adapted the curriculumto meet the needs of South Dakotafarmers and ranchers. The projectis supported by the BeginningFarmer and Rancher DevelopmentProgram of the National Instituteof Food and Agriculture, USDA,Grant #2010-03066.

twelve cups of flour. That would
make three-dozen buns. Now Ive
become sort of lazy and throw the
ingredients in a bread machine
and let that contraption grind
away mixing and so forth. After
the dough has risen nicely in the
machine and is about to be bakedinto a loaf, I turn the thing off,
remove the dough, and make it
into twelve buns. Those last me
quite a while for sandwiches and
eating with meals. I keep most of
them in the freezer and take them
out little by little so they dont get
old and dry before I get around to
using them.
Oddly enough, I didnt eat a lot
of bread as a kid although it was
good with peanut butter, jelly and
honey (all three at once) as my
grandma used to make for me.
Disinterest in bread at that time
might be partly because Im large-
ly of German descent, and we tend
to be into hearty meaty foods
more than fluffy stuff like bread.
I happened to marry a Norwegian,
however, and that bunch of people
thinks no meal is really completeif it doesnt include bread. It must
be a contagious attitude since it
has rubbed off somewhat on me.
Most of my meals now include
some form of bread.
The thoughts of another group
of people have apparently rubbed
off on me too. That would be the
Bohemians or Czechs with their
kolaches. These goodies are basi-
cally bits of dough with a sweet
filling such as prunes, jelly, or a
kind of pie filling. There are two
groups of these people who do not
agree with each other about the
proper way a kolache is to be
made. One bunch says you just
put a flat piece of dough on a pan,
let it rise, put a thumbprint in the
dough, and fill it with sweet stuff
before baking. Others are just as
adamant that a real kolache is a
flattened piece of dough with thefilling put on top and the corners
pulled up and pinched together.
Both are good, but I prefer mak-
ing the former since it is easier
and quite fine with a topping of
sour cream, sugar, and cinnamon.
I make those a lot.
Anyway, bread making is a sat-
isfying endeavor. Dough is fun to
work with. The whole process also
makes the house smell nice while
youre at it, and the end result
often tastes really good. What
more can you ask?
Bread making is an old family
tradition around here. Some of my
earliest memories are of Mom and
Grandma placing a tall square
stool in the middle of the kitchen
and plunking a big old bread pan
on top of it. I think it was just an
oversized dish pan, but it waslarge. From there, they added
ingredients until the mixture was
thick enough. Kneading followed
until the dough was smooth.
As I recall, they scalded some
milk first off so it had time to cool.
Then they proofed the yeast which
involved dissolving it in warm
water to which a little sugar had
been added. If the mixture started
to bubble and expand, that
proved it was still good and
would do the job. After milk,
water, sugar, salt and Crisco (I
think, or lard) were mixed togeth-
er and the yeast was added, the
flour was worked in little by little
until the dough was elastic and of
the right consistency.
Next, the pan was put in a warm
place, covered with a white dish
towel and allowed to rise. Then itwas punched down and usually
made mostly into loaves, but
sometimes into coffee cake, buns,
or cinnamon rolls. It was at this
point that I liked to steal pinches
of the dough and eat it. I liked it
quite a lot, but Mom and Grand-
ma frowned if I ate too much of it.
I think they suspected it would
rise in my stomach and blow me
apart or something. It never did,
of course, but they had some bias
against my eating too much raw
dough.
Given my upbringing, I guess it
was only natural that I should
take up bread making on my own
once I got settled back in at the
ranch after college and the Navy.
I started simply and learned as I
went along. With my love of exper-
imentation, I naturally tried all
different kinds of bread from sourdough to French to whole-grain
and raisin. There were some dis-
asters and some triumphs. After
Id learned all I wanted to know
about the various permutations, I
more or less settled down to plain
old white bread that I mostly
made into buns but also into cin-
namon and caramel rolls. Im still
doing that whenever the freezer
runs low.
I have now gone more low-key,
however. At first, Id mix up a
huge batch of dough using about

and awareness for the WoundedWarrior Project. The 6 over 60Team hopes set a preliminary goalof $50,000 for this amazing groupof unsung American heroes. A newgoal on their donations page is$120,000. The group currently asaccrued $72,345.70 in donations.
All of the money donated goesdirectly to the Wounded WarriorProject. The Team is self-fundingall ride expenses. Donations canbe made directly on the WoundedWarrior web site that has a directlink from the team web site www.6over60raa.com.
The team will begin its journeyin Astoria, Oregon by dipping theirrear wheels in the Pacific Oceanand conclude 60 days and 3,667miles later in Portsmouth, NewHampshire by dipping their frontwheels in the Atlantic Ocean.Their support vehicle during this
adventure will be driven by theirlongtime good friend and retiredpastor. According to their scheduleonline, they will be making a stopin Murdo, S.D. on Monday, July15.
The six riders range in age from64 to 68. They will all be retired atthe time of the ride from variedcareers that include a high schoolprincipal in Irvine, an Irvine police

by Rep. Kristi Noem
Like many South Dakotans, Ienjoy spending the summerevenings outside and at the ballfields on the weekends. AlthoughIm away from family while Im inD.C., I do try to run outside to get
a breath of fresh air or find anopportunity to spend some timeoutdoors. I recently had the oppor-tunity to play in the CongressionalWomens Softball Game, an annu-al event where female lawmakersteam up and play female membersof the media in a softball game forcharity.
This wasnt a task we took light-ly. Starting months ago, we beganpractices at 7 a.m. Tuesday andThursday mornings to work on ourfundamentals, such as hitting,grounding, throwing and pitching.It was also a great opportunity forall of us to get to know one anoth-er and to learn how to worktogether as a team.
When we took the field on gameday, more than 1,000 people werein attendance. All proceeds of theticket sales went to benefit the
Young Survival Coalition (YSC), a
global organization dedicated tocritical issues unique to youngwomen who are diagnosed withbreast cancer. In particular, the
YSC offers resources, connectionsand outreach to young womenwith breast cancer.
While we may not agree on
every policy considered in Con-gress, both Democratic and Repub-lican women came together andunited for an incredible cause. Wecan even agree with the media onthis one! According to the Ameri-can Cancer Society, about 12 per-cent of women in the UnitedStates will develop invasive breastcancer during their lifetime. Pre-ceded by only lung cancer, breastcancer is the second leading causeof cancer death in women.
We ended up losing the game11-8, but at the end of the night itdidnt matter who came out victo-rious, because roughly $125,000was raised for the Young SurvivalCoalition and a new coalition offemales from both the House andSenate was created. I hope youllvisit this website for some photosof the game: http://www.congwom-ensoftball.org/.
Employer mandate delay signalslarger problems for ObamaCare
by Senator John Thune
Recently, the Obama adminis-tration announced its plans todelay implementation of one of thekey components of the presidentssignature health care legislation,the employer mandate. This provi-
sion, which mandates financialpenalties to businesses with morethan 50 employees that fail to pro-vide government-approved healthinsurance to its employees, will bedelayed from 2014 until 2015.
For more than three years,President Obama has been assur-ing the American people that pro-visions in ObamaCare such as theemployer mandate will help lowerpremium costs and allow Ameri-cans to keep the insurance theypreferred. Yet, businesses acrossSouth Dakota and the rest of thecountry have lamented that thelegislation is stifling hiring deci-sions and taking away financialresources that would normally beinvested in their business. Accord-ing to a Wells Fargo/Gallup SmallBusiness Index survey, nearly 4 in10 small business owners are hold-ing back hiring because of costs
associated with implementingObamaCare.Not only does the health care
law mandate coverage for employ-ees, but the law also includes aprovision that mandates employ-ers include certain government-determined essential benefits forany employer-sponsored healthplan, leaving almost no flexibility
for an employer to determine whatis best for his or her employees.Many of these required benefitsincrease the cost of plans foremployers and employees alike.
According to a recent Galluppoll from June of 2013, 52 percentof respondents said they disap-
prove of ObamaCare, up from 48percent last fall. The same pollrevealed that for every one personwho believes they will be better offunder ObamaCare, two believethey will be worse off. Oppositionto the presidents health law isgrowing, and will continue to grow,as Americans realize that the lawis built upon broken promises thatwill result in higher health carecosts and more taxes.
While I am pleased that busi-nesses will be shielded for anotheryear from the onerous and costlyrequirements associated withemployer mandate, the delay pro-vides further evidence that Oba-maCare is not the solution to ourhealth care problems and that thismassive expansion of governmentis a step in the wrong direction.Rather than unilaterally breakinga law that the president and his
allies in Congress proposed, theadministration should haveworked with Congress to devise asolution.
Its time to repeal this brokenlegislation and replace it with realhealth care reforms that will give
Americans access to the healthcare they need, from the doctorthey choose, at a lower cost.
Letter to the editorBy Paul Young, President, South
Dakota Municipal League(SDML) and City of Spearfish
council memberFor any organization to be suc-
cessful, Teamwork must be a corecommodity. For a municipality,Teamwork is absolutely essential.We all know and appreciate the
teamwork between the variousdepartments, the teamworkbetween elected officials and citystaff, and the teamwork between amayor and council. But from anelected officials standpoint, Iwould like to single out someunsung players in this wholeteamwork scheme. Without theseunsung players, municipal govern-ment would have a hard time func-tioning at all. The funny thingabout it is that every communityhas these unsung players and theyare different in every community.
These unsung players are theemployers in your communitiesthat allow their employees to servethe community as an elected offi-cial. They are willing to sharetheir human resource with thecommunity as a whole, knowingthat there will be additionaldemands placed upon the employ-
ees time and talent. By allowingtheir employees to serve their com-munity as an elected official, theynot only allow their community tooperate today but they allow thevision and goal to be set for tomor-
row. Every community dependsupon people willing to serve in anelected capacity, willing to do thework necessary in the decisionmaking process that shapes andmolds the community. And foreveryone willing to serve, theremust be someone willing to allowthat person to serve. So you can
see that the teamwork necessaryfor municipal government to func-tion properly extends beyond thewalls of city hall and includesmany others outside of govern-ment proper. But whether realizedor not they are showing that theycare what kind of community theyhave and want by allowing theiremployee to be in a decision mak-ing position in their municipalgovernment. We could not do itwithout the flexibility and willing-ness of these employers to allowtheir employees to serve their com-munity as an elected official.
In my seventeen years as anelected official, I have been blessedwith several employers who havebeen willing to allow me to servemy community and state. I amhumbled and honored by their sac-rifice. So here is a big shout out toall the unsung players/employers
across this great State of SouthDakota! You not only provide uswith great jobs but you also allowus the opportunity to serve thegreater community as well. Yourgenerosity does not go unnoticed.Thank you..thank you..thank you!
Pierre Guard unit honoredat deployment ceremony
Jones Co. cheer squadhosts SDSU cheer camp
Sixty-eight Soldiers of theSouth Dakota Army NationalGuards 152nd Combat Sustain-ment Support Battalion were hon-ored during a deployment ceremo-ny Saturday, July 6 in Pierre.Hundreds of family members,friends and community supportersgathered at the T.F. Riggs HighSchool auditorium to see the Sol-diers off as they depart for about asix-month tour to Afghanistan insupport of Operation EnduringFreedom.
Speakers for the ceremonyincluded Gov. Dennis Daugaard,
Pierre Mayor Laurie Gill and Maj.Gen. Tim Reisch, the adjutant gen-eral of the SDNG.
This is a great day, becausethis (ceremony) brings us togetherbecause of our love for the Soldiersthat are being deployed today,said Daugaard. Our admirationfor their great competence, skill,courage, dedication and loyalty toour state and our nation inspiresus to come together and showthem how much we appreciatethem.
I couldnt be more proud of thisunit, said Reisch. This unit hasexecuted a rigorous training planto prepare this unit for deploy-ment, and there is no doubt in my
mind that your performance dur-ing this deployment will add to theimpressive legacy of the SouthDakota National Guard.
The mission of the 152ndsHeadquarters and HeadquartersCompany will be to provide multi-functional combat support andcombat service support to forcesthroughout an assigned area ofoperation. Multi-functional areasinclude supply, transportation,maintenance and ordnance sup-port.
We will do everything possibleto go over there and do great
things and come home safe. Thatsour number one goal, said Lt. Col.Michael Oster, commander of the152nd. Our second goal is to livein a place where excellence is notonly our expectation but also thatit becomes our average. So on abad day were great and on a goodday we are spectacular. Thatswhat were going to do in the152nd.
The Soldiers that comprise thePierre-based Guard unit comefrom 28 different South Dakotacommunities. While many of theSoldiers will be deploying for thefirst time, more than half of theunit are deploying for the secondor third time.

STRESS MANAGEMENT
7: MIND READING
It is a basic human trait to
believe that others know what weknow and believe what we believe.
After all, normal humans dontbelieve things that they think arewrong. Normal people dontbelieve that 2 + 2 is 5. By the sametoken, just as we dont believe 2 +2 is 5, we also feel that other peo-ple dont believe that 2 + 2 is 5.While this mind reading worksvery well for 2 +2 being 4, humanstend to generalize this mind read-ing behavior to other beliefs.
Specifically if a personhas a negative self image, they willtend to believe that others sharethe individuals self image. Thisleads to such self talks as:
1. They know I am no good.2. They will surely reject me.3. They must be right about my
inadequacy.The emotional pain associated
with the above self talks originates
from our value placed on what oth-ers believe and from our lettingothers such as parents, teaches,peers, coaches, set our standardsfor us. Since we intrinsically feelthat others know and believe whatwe know, if we have a negative selfimage that will be projected to theway we believe others feel aboutus. Emotional pain from this isthat the person will feel rejectedby others. Since Ihave a negativeimpression of myself and othersknow what I know, they too musthave a negative opinion of me.
The irrationality of the above isthat people cant read your mindalthough they react to your bodylanguage which does express howyou feel about yourself. A hangdogpessimistic attitude and personalcarriage will be projected to oth-ers. Note that people do not rejectyou because you are imperfect or
make mistakes. As a matter offact, mistakes make another per-
son at ease and let them feel moreadequate knowing that you madea mistake that they might havealready performed. Note that oth-
ers opinions are only important asthey directly affect you. Others un-acted upon opinions are of no con-sequence to you.
Dr. Witte suggested the follow-ing constructive self talks. Hepointed out that people cant readyour mind although they do reactto your body language. A personshould realize that how otherstreat you is partly a representa-tion of how you treat yourself. Thisleads to such constructive self-talks as:
1. Others cant read my mind.If they seem to reacting negativelyto me, it maybe because I am feel-ing negative and projecting thiswith my body language. Alterna-
tively, I may be misreading theirbehavior. Heaven knows I cantread their mind either. Lastly, theymay believe something that is
incorrect and I should inquirebefore I react.
2. Even if the other person isreacting negatively to me, I am notrequired to agree with and therebydepreciate myself. Most people arehonest and forthright. It is irra-tional to feel that they are evil,unfair, or against me in theabsence of clear evidence for this.If they seem to think badly of me,I will make things worse if I irra-tionally attribute their actions totheir being evil or against me.Note that when I feel others havean unjustified negative impressionof me, there is a tendency tobecome angry, the most self defeat-ing behavior a person can have.
