    Highway Patrol Campaign:Obey the Sign, Avoid the Fine

    South Dakotas Highway Patrolis using the Memorial Day travelweekend to kick off Obey the Signand Avoid the Fine, a summer-long safe-travel campaign.

    The campaign is an initiative toreduce highway crashes andincrease safety on South Dakotasroadways, says Col. Craig Price,superintendent of the HighwayPatrol. The kick-off weekend willinclude a high-visibility saturationpatrol on Monday, Memorial Day.

    Our statistics show that speed-

    ing, impaired driving and otherhazardous moving violations aremajor contributors in crashes,injuries and deaths on our high-ways, Price said. Were kickingoff our safety campaign on Memo-rial Day weekend to get the maxi-mum public awareness of the needfor safety on the roadways.

    Speed and alcohol will be thetop two targets for the enforce-

    ment campaign this summer, Pricesaid. The Highway Patrol believesthat focus will have the largestimpact on reducing fatal crashes.

    Obviously, we will be enforcingall the other traffic laws, he said.Thats the reasoning behind theObey the Sign and Avoid the Finecampaign slogan.

    Highway Patrol troopers willwork in teams and will partnerwith other law enforcement agen-cies when opportunities arise,Price said. Mondays saturation

    patrol will have virtually all uni-formed troopers on the highways.

    In addition to enforcement, thesummer safety campaign will usesocial media for public educationand will partner with the StateDepartment of Transportation forpermanent and portable messageboards with safe-driving messageson the interstates and other high-traffic areas in South Dakota.

    Sin Is No Jokeby Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

    The present trend in American moral conduct is downward. Increasing thousands all about us are throwing restraint to the winds to enjoy the pleasuresof sin.

    We struggle with the problem of juvenile delinquency, but tempt the young in a hundred ways to immorality and violence. We are shocked at the deedsof sex-mad criminals who make it unsafe for women to walk the streets at night, but our women continue to pay less and less heed to the principles of mod-esty and decency that would contribute so greatly to their own safety.

    Most of all, we have disregarded the Word of God. No longer does the Bible hold the first place in our homes. It rather lies gathering dust while our moraland spiritual strength is dissipated by pursuing pleasures that fail to bring true happiness or satisfaction. Yes, we have a form of godliness but our conductdenies the power thereof.

    Sin may be fun to many. They may joke about drunkenness, indecency and immorality, but God declares that it is no joke to Him. He says: Foolsmake a mock at sin(Prov.14:9); for, not only does sin in its very nature break down, rather than build up; but, as responsible creatures, sinners will one dayhave to give an account of their conduct to the God who created them.

    To look at the brighter side, we may all rejoice in another indication that sin is no joke to God. St. Paul points it out in I Corinthians 15:3, where he s ays:Christ died for our sins. Christ knew the horrible results of sin and the dreadful penalty which justice must visit upon it. Yes, and He also knew that allhave sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom.3:23), and in infinite love He left the glories of heaven and stooped to bear the disgrace and penal-

    ty for sin Himself! Christ hath once suffered for sins, the Just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God (IPet.3:18), and those who come to knowGod through faith in Christ experience peace and joy which this world can never afford.

    For freedom Christ has set usfree. Stand firm, therefore, anddo not submit again to a yoke ofslavery. (Galatians 5:1)

    We are a nation of people long-ing to be free. Free to assemble,free to worship, free to expressourselves, free to print andbroadcast the news. Those whocome to our shores long for free-dom.Veterans fought and died, sacri-

    ficed their own freedom to keepus free. And those who stayedworking on the farms and ranch-es,and in businesses and facto-ries, and those who bought warbonds during those hard times all sacrificed to keep us free free from the tyranny of dictatorswho would have enslaved us. Wegladly look to almighty God andproclaim to others the freedomHe gave to us. We humbly thankGod for the many sacrifices ofthose who God called, who gavetheir lives to keep us free. I comefrom a family of immigrants, who

    fought alongside other Ameri-cans in World War I and WorldWar II. At the base of the Statueof Liberty in New York harbor,these words greet all immi-grants:

    Give me your tired, your poor,your huddled masses, yearning tobe free, the wretched refuse of

    your teeming shores. Send these,the homeless, tempest tossed tome. I lift my lamp beside the gold-en door.

    The next time you take downand fold an Americanflag,remember those who havegiven their last full measure of

    devotion, and know why its fold-ed in a three-sided or tri-cornpattern. Each fold means some-thing. That three-sided tri-cornpattern reminds us of thosefarmer-patriots who worethree-sided hats, fought for ourliberty, giving their lives in theRevolutionary War. The poet,Robert Frost later wrote aboutthem, and the shots fired at Lex-ington and Concord: By the rude bridge that archedthe flood, Their flag to Aprilsbreeze unfurled. Here once theembattled farmers stood, And

    fired the shot, heard round theworld.

    Memorial Day is not just anoth-er three day holiday. It is trulya day to remember and givethanks. In 2000, Congressenacted a law called the NationalMoment of Remembrance. At 3

    p.m. on Memorial Day, we are topause for a moment of silence toremember the men and womenwho fought and died for our coun-try. One of our founding fathersand presidents, Thomas Jeffer-son, wrote that: The price of lib-erty is eternal vigilance.Besides being a nation of freeimmigrants, we are still, Onenation, under God, indivisible,with liberty and justice for all.May the peace of Jesus Christ bewith you.

    wouldnt notice a big orange object

    parked there. This always made

    me chuckle. Id tell him he was a

    silly old thing, grab him around

    the middle, and hold him for a lit-

    tle while. Thats what he wanted,

    and then he was ready to be off

    again to carefully check all the old

    holes in the ground and any bush-

    es that might harbor things of

    interest.

    At home, Sam was an early-

    warning system of anything that

    was suspicious or might be an

    intruder. He especially hated

    snakes and wouldnt quit barking

    at them until someone arrived

    with a hoe and removed the nasty

    things head. The body needed to

    be disposed of in the burn barrel,

    and then his job was done. You

    couldnt just throw it out onto theprairie, though, since that wasnt

    right according to him. Hed bark

    at the corpse until it was properly

    disposed of in the burn barrel.

    This hatred of snakes was even

    more intense after he was bitten

    on the nose by a rattler that had

    slithered right in front of the dog

    house and got in a strike when

    Sam was trying to get out. Sam

    survived the strike, but his nose

    was pretty big for a number of

    weeks.

    Porcupine quills did pose a prob-

    lem. Sam would not let you pull

    them out until youd doped him up

    enough that he could barely move.

    This was accomplished by sneak-

    ing pills into him through cheese

    balls until you had fed him

    enough that he could barely drag

    himself around. He adored cheese

    and ate it so fast that he didnt

    notice the pills. Even then you

    had to proceed with caution, but

    you could get the quills out if you

    worked at it.

    Although Sam was probably my

    favorite of all the dogs we ever

    had, there were others that were

    fine too. As a kid, we had a pair

    called Corky and Rex. Rex was my

    companion a good bit of the time,

    but Corky was more standoffish.

    They were a snake-killing duo.

    Rex would find them and stand

    barking at them until Corkyarrived on the scene. Corky would

    then sneak in without getting bit-

    ten, grab the nasty old things, and

    shake them to death. Their team-

    work was appreciated.

    Later I had Rags who was a

    black-and-white, medium-sized

    gal that was a sweetie. More

    recently, son Chance had a black

    dog he named Candy. She was a

    good friend to the whole family

    and lived in the house quite a bit.

    She was no small thing but wasnt

    as big as Sam. Wife Corinne had a

    short round pooch named Noel

    who was fairly frumpy but nice.

    Weve had a few dogs that were

    more problematic than enjoyable.

    One was a purebred beagle that

    was cute as the dickens but who

    had no real loyalty to anyone. He

    visited neighbors far and wide

    and wouldnt bother to come back

    home if we didnt go get him. It

    was a relief when he finally ran

    off never to return. We also once

    got a yellow Lab for Chance, but

    he was much too busy for all of us.

    A neighbor took a shine to him,

    and we were very generous and

    allowed him to keep him.

    Right now we dont have a dog

    due to our somewhat unsettled

    existence. If we ever have another,

    Id like him to be a lot like Sam.

    He was hard to beat. If you have a

    dog at present or in the future, I

    hope you luck out with him as

    much as I did with Sam. He and I

    were buddies and the very best of

    friends.

    Sam and I were the best of bud-

    dies for a number of years. He was

    a big orange dog that was already

    in residence at the ranch when I

    got home from college and the

    Navy. I know he was part husky,

    but the rest of him was a mystery.

    Whatever the mix, it was a good

    one since you dont find many dogs

    as nice as Sam. The folks had

    named him Sandy after he was

    given to them by a cousin so, for

    awhile, I called him San for

    short. That later became Sam

    which seemed easier.

    This hound had several traits

    that endeared him to me. For one,

    he was a one-dog welcome-home

    committee. When Id been gone

    and drove up the lane coming

    home, I could be pretty sure Sam

    would be lurking along the road

    somewhere. As I drove past, an

    orange streak would rise up and

    accompany me the last bit into the

    yard. Then, when I opened the

    door, his front feet would land on

    my lap and a tongue might try to

    give me a kiss. A hug was

    required.A lapdog he wasnt since he was

    much too large. He didnt neces-

    sarily agree with that assessment,

    however. When we were out walk-

    ing on the prairie, he would range

    far and wide around me but with-

    out losing track of where I was. If

    Lookin Around Syd Iwan

    Commoditization

    of the United States

    cattle industry

    I recently read a report by one

    of our cattle market analysts, who

    tried to identify what i ssues and/or

    policies had damaged the cattle

    industry the most. Great question

    ... with an exploding population

    that needs to feed itself, one would

    certainly wonder why the United

    States cattle industry is contract-

    ing.

    The analyst identified two such

    issues, but he also exposed the

    extremes that such folks as him-

    self, certain industry groups, and

    some of our more social media will

    go to distort the facts and create

    smoke screens to accomplish their

    socialistic agenda. The article

    states that mandatory country of

    origin labeling (COOL) for fresh

    meat products has added billions

    of dollars of costs to the livestock

    and meat industry. WOW bil-

    lions! Somebody needs to tell him

    that COOL has only been in effect

    since 2009 and that even the pack-

    ers and retailers couldn't come upwith a figure that ridiculous.

    Then he goes on to say that the

    blame for COOL lies squarely with

    a tiny minority of livestock pro-

    ducers.

    These are the same tactics used

    by our monthly Beef Enquirer-like

    publications that we get for free to

    create public record to try and

    show a lack of producer support.

    The problem is that when you

    look at all the local and state Farm

    Bureau, Farmers Union and cat-

    tlemen's groups you will find

    overwhelming producer support

    for mandatory COOL.

    He then goes to say, Surveys

    showed consumers didn't care

    about labeling. WOW, I believe

    what we have seen reported is just

    the opposite with multiple surveys

    showing consumer support for

    COOL.

    And then he finishes up by say-

    ing that USDA (United States

    Department of Agriculture)

    changes will only increase dis-

    crimination against foreign born

    livestock. Not sure what changes

    hes talking about, but the ones

    submitted by USDA to come into

    WTO (World Trade Organization)

    compliance are designed to reduce

    the discrimination practice yielded

    by U.S. packers in an effort to kill

    COOL. I still think what the pack-

    ers did bordered on anti-competi-

    tive and discriminatory practices

    ... a heck of a thing to witness in

    this country.

    I point this out on COOL not

    because I believe anyone really

    buys into these distortions, as we

    all understand the extremes these

    folks will go to and certainly they

    have lost their credibility with the

    average U.S. cattle producers.

    Rather, I point this out because

    these are the same people and

    groups that told you in the late

    80s and the 90s that you need to

    learn to compete in a global mar-

    ket; however, they oppose you

    identifying your product. They

    also told you that your competition

    was poultry and pork and not

    imports.

    Thats interesting, because it

    was recently announced that the

    National Pork Producers Council

    and the Cattlemen's Beef Board

    have been working in partnership

    for nearly two years to provide

    more consumer-friendly names

    for 350 new and older cuts of beef

    and pork under URMIS (Uniform

    Retail Meat Identity Standards)

    with some of the pork cuts adapt-

    ing beef names. Now while some of

    this appears good, other changes

    have the potential to reduce andconfuse beef sales. For example, no

    longer is it just pork chops; now it

    will be ribeye chops, porterhouse

    chops, and New York chops. So

    when the young housewife walks

    up to the meat counter to buy a

    ribeye for her loved one, she will

    be asked by the meat retailer,

    pork or beef? She may then very

    well ask the perceived profession-

    al, What do you suggest?

    I imagine the response by the

    retailer will depend on which prod-

    uct gives him the most profit,

    along with his own biases.

    I understand why the pork folks

    went for this, but heres the prob-

    lem for U.S. cattle producers.

    These meat cut names, while not

    trademarked brand names, act

    very much like brand names for

    the beef/cattle industry. Con-

    sumers are familiar with these

    terms in beef and relate those

    names to such things as flavor,

    tenderness and quality. Historical-

    ly, consumers have made decisions

    based on these names, they have

    become the brand-like name of

    each cut, and you dont conspire to

    let your competitor use your brand

    name!

    It is well understood that brand

    names simplify shopping and aid

    in processing of information about

    products; however, these types of

    changes complicate meat buying

    decisions for consumers and com-

    promise beefs ability to separate

    itself in the animal protein market

    and promote itself. As the EBAC

    noted, People recognize brand

    and attach a certain intrinsic

    value to the product because of its

    name like ribeye, New York,

    porterhouse, T-bone those names

    kind of make your mouth water,

    dont they?

    Another marketing expert goes

    on to say, Do NOT underestimate

    the power of name brands. This

    power can be so compelling to your

    buyers that they may be blinded to

    all other purchase considerations.

    But not now, not with beef. No

    wonder Patrick Fleming of the

    National Pork Board said it will

    aid the consumers decision-mak-

    ing on pork by adapting beefnomenclature for pork. In other

    words, they will sell more pork ...

    at beefs expense.

    So, as we look to answer the

    question of what issues and/or

    policies have done the most dam-

    age to U.S. cattle herd, I would

    have to say the destructionist

    trade policies of some of our indus-

    try groups and our social media,

    who have had no problem sacrific-

    ing U.S. producers for trade liber-

    alization, as well as the social com-

    moditization and standardization

    of our industry and the fading

    product identity in the animal pro-

    tein domestic and global market;

    instead of concentrating on differ-

    entiating between our products,

    we are blurring the lines.

    Managing Alfalfa Weevils

    A producer recently called to ask

    when was the best time to spray

    alfalfa weevil adults. There are a

    few alfalfa producers who seem to

    have discovered that spraying the

    adults reduces the incidence and

    feeding damage of the larvae.

    While there may be some truth

    to it, there are some inherent prob-

    lems with this practice. SDSU

    Extension Entomologist, Ada

    Szczepaniec, reports that a num-

    ber of things can happen to

    adversely affect the adults laying

    eggs, the eggs hatching, the larvae

    surviving, etc. Warm and wet

    springs promote the growth of

    pathogens that attack the larvae

    so weather conditions and soil

    moisture play a role in the severi-

    ty of alfalfa weevil infestations.

    There are also several predatory

    insects that offer a bio control

    alternative.

    These natural controls can result

    in larval populations being low

    enough that insecticide applica-

    tions may not be economical. If youapply insecticides with the inten-

    tion of controlling the adult wee-

    vils, you will never know if the

    population of larvae would have

    justified insecticide treatments or

    not. The larva is the damaging life

    stage and the target for control, if

    needed. Routine insecticide appli-

    cations are detrimental to the

    predatory insects that are typical-

    ly abundant in alfalfa fields. There

    is also concern that consistent,

    routine insecticide applications

    may lead to resistance of alfalfa

    weevils to insecticides.

    SDSU Extensions recommenda-

    tion is to scout for alfalfa weevils

    and make management decisions

    based on numbers of weevils, the

    growth stage and/or height of the

    alfalfa, and other factors. The gen-

    eral threshold (and least precise)

    is to treat if 30-40 percent of tips

    are damaged by the weevils, lar-

    vae are present, and early harvest

    is more than one week away. The

    bucket method is a more precise

    sampling method and is the pre-

    ferred technique to sample alfalfa

    weevils to determine whether pes-

    ticide applications are warranted.An explanation of the bucket

    method, along with other good

    information about alfalfa weevils

    can be found in the iGrow article,

    Entomology Update: Alfalfa Wee-

    vil Scouting Notes at: http://igrow.

    org/agronomy/other-crops/ento-

    mology-update-alfalfa-weevil-

    scouting-notes/.

    Early cutting can be a highly

    effective strategy in managing

    alfalfa weevils if the weather coop-

    erates. Ideal conditions for early

    cutting in alfalfa weevil manage-

    ment are good drying conditions,

    i.e. warm temperatures, low

    humidity, sunshine, and wind. The

    idea is to cut the alfalfa and get it

    baled and out of the field to expose

    the larva to the drying conditions,

    which will lead to a lot of mortali-

    ty. With early cutting, producers

    need to monitor the regrowth after

    the first cutting to make sure

    enough larva didnt survive to

    keep the second cutting from

    regrowing. Regular scouting is

    crucial in making sustainable

    management decisions.

    Natural pest and disease controlDonna Adrian, Master Gardener

    If you grow the same crop in thesame place year after year you willget a buildup of pests and diseasesspecific to that crop. Differentcrops take different levels of nutri-ents from the soil and inevitablythese become unbalanced. Eventhe addition of fertilizers is unlike-ly to help since it is likely the traceelements are depleted. This is whyit is important to keep a yearly cal-endar of your garden plot and tomap out your garden every yearand keep your records.

    The simplest rule of crop rota-tion is not to grow the same thingin the same place two years run-ning. In fact a gap of three or fouryears will even be better. Theadvantage of plots works well, ver-sus the long rows.

    Crop rotation simply put,involves dividing the garden intosections, and planting a differentplant family in each section everyyear. A systematic rotating sched-ule ensures that every sectioneventually receives each plantfamily. Most crop rotation systemshave at least four sections, withfour rotating plant groups.

    There are many different sys-tems for rotating crops, some fair-ly crude and some quite complex,

    designed to ensure that followingcrops utilize nutrients left by pre-vious crops.

    Potatoes are one of the biggestreasons to rotate your planting, oryou will end up with potato scab.Last year I had a severe problemwith squash bugs, it is said thateven a 5 year rotation is needed tokeep them away.

    Crop rotation has many advan-tages:

    It lessens the need for pestcontrol

    The soil structure is main-tained

    You reduce the spread of soil-borne disease

    It avoids nutrient depletion inthe soil

    Rotation offers an excellentdefense against all kinds of pestsand disease. Where possible, keepplants of the same family togetheras their requirements will be simi-lar.

    For instance, although theyappear radically different, potatoand tomato are in fact members ofthe same family. According to thetraditional scheme one could fol-low the other, but since they are soclosely related, they will attractthe same pests and use-up thesame nutrients from the soil. Toavoid this type of confusion, a gar-den planning tool uses a moresophisticated classification systemwhich is convenient.

    1. Legumes: Bush, pole, snap,and dry beans, peas

    2. Root vegetables: radish, car-rot, potato, onion, garlic, beet,rutabaga, sweet potato, shallots

    3. Leafy greens: spinach, chard,kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broc-coli, spinach

    4. Fruit-bearing: tomato, corn,cucumber, squash, pumpkin, egg-plant

    Crop rotation is a method oforganic pest-control which reducesthe build-up of soil borne disease.Use the guide to identify the fami-ly of your chosen vegetable.

    Members of any given familyshould not be grown in the samespot for more than one year.

    Summer travel should notmean pain at the pump

    by Senator John ThuneFamilies will soon be packing

    up their cars, pulling out themaps, and jumping on the road toenjoy the beautiful summerweather in South Dakota. Tourismis the number two industry inSouth Dakota, so we understandthe implications that higher gasprices mean not only for our ownsummer plans, but also for theplans of thousands of other fami-lies hoping to enjoy some summerfun in our state.

    Increases in gas prices acrossSouth Dakota and surroundingareas of the Midwest continue tosqueeze American families andsmall businesses who are stilldealing with a historically sloweconomic recovery. The financialpain of high gas prices is not limit-ed to filling up our own vehicles.The price of gasoline is driving up

    the cost of goods and services eachof us rely upon. For example, theprice to transport everyday house-hold goods is higher due toincreased gas prices; these fuelcosts are passed on to the con-sumers in the form of higherprices. The high gas prices alsoimpact the states number oneindustryagriculture. Farmersand ranchers, who rely on the useof tractors, combines, and other

    equipment, also feel the pinch ofthe higher prices for gasoline anddiesel fuel.

    Instead of working together tohelp lower the cost of gas for all

    Americans, the administrationand Senate Democrats continue toturn a blind eye to the problem. Itis time for Congress to get seriousabout creating jobs and loweringenergy prices. Projects like theKeystone XL pipeline will helpprovide a more efficient distribu-tion of Bakken oil to refineriesacross the Midwest and will helpcreate nearly 20,000 jobs. Addi-tionally, while oil and gas produc-tion is booming on private lands, itcontinues to lag in federal areasand some of our most promisingoffshore areas remain off-limits.

    America is beginning to take holdof its energy future, but withoutthe right policies coming out of

    Washington, consumers will con-tinue to feel pain at the pumpthroughout the year.

    As South Dakotans gear up foranother season of baseball games,camping trips, and summer vaca-tions, I will continues to push forresponsible access to all domesticsources of energy that will helplower prices and increase Ameri-cas energy security.

    Its time to mulchDonna Adrian, Master Gardener

    Adding mulch to your garden

    will improve the health of the soil

    and beautify the appearance of

    your yard and garden. Cover gar-

    den beds with a layer of mulch to

    keep weeds down and reduce the

    need for water. Weed seed is less

    likely to sprout when soil is cov-

    ered with enough mulch to keep

    the soil surface dark. If you are

    short on grass clippings, just start

    by adding a few handfuls around

    your tomatoes etc each time you

    mow. Even a thin layer of mulch

    will reduce evaporation from the

    soil.

    Kill off sod or dense weeds by

    mowing then layering newspaper

    or cardboard under the mulch, it

    decomposes and adds organic mat-

    ter to the garden. Dont forget to

    mulch in the fall to save those

    shrubs, trees and other perennials

    from winter root damage.

    Mulching allows you to recycle

    natures products to replenish your

    garden. Selecting mulch can be

    shredded bark, grass clippings,

    pine needles, hay poultry litter,

    coffee grounds, sawdust, compost,

    leaves, manure, corncobs

    (chopped), newspapers, straw,

    woodchips or anything organic

    that breaks down in soil.

    Mulching around trees is impor-

    tant; first of all to protect the truck

    from the mower damages, if plants

    are under stress without extensive

    root system, much can be helpful.

    Start about six inches from the

    base, working out to the desired

    diameter. Depth should be up to

    four inches. Not only is protecting

    the tree moisture but it is easier to

    mow around. If you use lawn clip-

    pings, spread them immediately to

    avoid heating and rotting. Spread

    thin layers. Be sure the clipping

    does not have herbicide on them.

    STRESS MANAGEMENT-THE BASICS

    In the 1980s, the concept ofstress and stress managementwere a hot topic. Then and now,

    the idea that inordinate stressupon a person caused all kinds ofhealth problems including highblood pressure, ulcers, heart prob-lems, obesity, etc. We have allheard about Yoga, just relax,dont worry so much, chill outand a host of other recommenda-tions that are well intended butinconstantly relieves a personsstress problems. But there is amethod to stop excess stressalthough it is complicated andrequires some thought and effort.

    At one of my continuing medicaleducation programs, there was anancillary four hour course onstress management given by Dr.Herman Witte, a young psycholo-gist at that time. He put togetherrecordings of multiple interviewshe had had with different patients.He noticed that there were self-defeating speech patterns commonto many different patients. It washis impression that these speechpatterns were at least part of thepersons stress problem. I was veryimpressed with his work and fol-lowed up with several additionalcourses. In the mid-1980s, I organ-ized his material into a course atCapital University Center onstress management. The coursewas taught every year for aboutfive years and then I became toobusy to continue it. Recently, a for-mer patient inquired about thatcourse and whether the contentswere available in a booklet orother organized written downmanner. I decided I would devotethe next seven columns to thisendeavor of getting the materialorganized in an easily presentableway. It is noteworthy that what Iam going to try to do is consolidateover 45 hours of class time intoseven columns.

    Some definitions need to beunderstood from the outset.Specifically, what is stress? Stressis the internal reaction that occursin response to an event. Thatevent could be an altercation witha loved one, an automobile acci-dent, discovering that your child isusing drugs or an illness such aspneumonia. Most people would saythat the event itself is the stress.In fact, the events occur independ-ent and usually out control of whatthe person may want. How theperson responds internally to anevent is the stress. Thus, your

    child using drugs is not stress.Stress is the internal reaction thatthe person has in response to thechild using drugs. This is animportant first step in under-standing stress management.

    The next step in understandingstress management is based onresearch done by Edward Deci inthe 1980s. He asked the question,What makes a person act?

    Based upon his research, he hadhypothesized that there were twodriving forces that made individu-als act. The first of these was theperson deciding for themselveswhat they would do be it eat lunch,drive the car, go to sleep, or watchTV. Basically, a person wants free-dom to do what they want to do.

    The second driving force wasthe person being reasonablypleased with the results of theiract. Thus, the normal healthyresponse might be exemplified bya young child wanting to playbaseball. When they get a hit orcatch a fly ball and the crowdcheers, the young baseball playerfeels good, might continue theirendeavor playing baseball. Howev-er, if the child gets hit in the facewith the ball or were to strike out,they might come to the conclusionthat baseball is not for them andthey dont try it further. In anycase, the child has chosen for him-self what he will do and thenresponded to the result. If thefather decides that the child needsto play baseball when the childdoesnt want to, the father is inter-fering with the choice of what thechild will do (self determination).

    By the same token if the child ischided because he struck out, thatwill interfere with the childs eval-uation of their baseball endeavor(self evaluation). Thus, Dr. Decihypothesized that there were twobasic driving forces for a personsactivity. The first of these was selfdetermination and the second onewas self evaluation.

    This lays the foundation for a

    host of very detrimental choices aperson might make. If the abovechild feels bad because he struckout, there is always an ice creamcone dad buys to make the childfeel better. If an ice cream cone isrepeatedly used to soothe disap-pointment, obesity and all of itsproblems will follow. For an adult,there are other forms of gratifica-tion such as cigarettes, alcohol ordrugs that become substitutes forthe gratification that was missedbecause of some disappointment.

    To return to Dr. Wittesresearch, re-listening to the manyinterviews that he had withpatients, he early on recognizedthat it upsets me was an almostuniversal statement made by

    stressed-out patients. Variationson this would be he upsets me, sheupsets, my dog upsets me, my bossupsets me, my employer upsetsme, etc. etc. But please note fromseveral paragraphs above, that the

    stress that the person is experienc-ing is not the he, she, the boss, theemployee, etc. etc. but rather whatis going on inside of the persondealing with these people.

    This led Dr Witte to hypothesizethat what they were saying outloud was also being repeatedsilently in their head as a selftalk, something they said silentlybut powerfully to themselves. Theself-talk he heard most often was,it upsets me. He called this thebasic irrational self talk.

    By irrational, he meant that theself-talk simply wasnt true; that itwas a lie the person told them-selves. Note that if it is upsettingthe person, they have abdicatedresponsibility for choosing theirown behavior.

    An example of this is how mybrother chose my little sistersbehavior. He was 15 years oldwhile she was only three. She was

    learning table manners and it wasslow. If she spilled or did not wipeher mouth, my brother would callher a pig. Sis would start crying.Mom would tell my brother not tocall sis a pig or mom would makehim leave the table. But my broth-er was devious and cunning him-self and he soon learned that hecould look at sis, silently move hislips to say pig and sis would startcrying again. Note poor sis wasonly three but already someoneelse was deciding when she wouldcry. She was simply too young andinexperienced to chose a responseother than crying.

    Dr. Witte noted that people whouse the basic irrational self talkdefied Dr. Decis basic tenant ofhuman behavior. Specifically, ifit is upsetting you, then you arenot making the choice on whetheror not you will be upset.

    Specifically, if your neighborsdog excreting in your yard makesyou upset and you therefore chooseto do something vindictive andreactive, please note that this is ananger reaction on the inside of you.Note that there are many otherreactions a person might have butanger and vindictiveness are atleast two of the most destructivereactions a person can have. Theycome from basic irrational self talkas described above (it upsets me).

    It must always be rememberedthat you upset yourself in responseto what goes on around you. Basedon just how smart and self con-trolled you are, you can chooseanother response besides beingupset.

    Job training program for young peoplewith disabilities expands to SDSU

    Project SEARCH, a programthat provides employment train-ing opportunities for young peoplewith disabilities, has expanded toBrookings and added businessadvisory councils in Aberdeen andSioux Falls.

    Project SEARCH is a partner-ship between businesses, localschool districts, the S.D. Depart-ment of Human Services and S.D.Department of Labor and Regula-tion. Internship programs havebeen operating at Avera McKen-nan Health Care Systems in SiouxFalls and Aberdeen for threeyears, and a third site at SouthDakota State University in Brook-ings will begin training studentsin August.

    Project SEARCH is a perfectexample of how businesses canwork together with state and localgovernments to make a real differ-ence in the lives of people with dis-abilities, said Gov. Dennis Dau-gaard, who is in Seattle this weekparticipating in the National Gov-ernors Association institute onemploying people with disabilities.Gainful employment in the com-petitive labor market is the pre-

    ferred outcome for any of our citi-zens, and this program givesyoung South Dakotans with dis-abilities the tools they need to suc-ceed as they enter adulthood.

    Those participating in ProjectSEARCH are primarily studentswith intellectual disabilities, 18 to21 years old, who have completedall individual requirements forhigh school graduation. Partici-pants are assigned a job coach,attend employment training class-

    es and work in the business envi-ronment, rotating through threedifferent internships over thecourse of a school year. Full-timeemployment with benefits is oftenthe result.

    Of the first two classes to com-plete Project SEARCH programsin Aberdeen and Sioux Falls, about67 percent are meeting or exceed-ing the programs definition ofcompetitive employment: workingyear-round, 16 hours per week ormore, at minimum wage or higher;and working within an integratedbusiness setting alongside co-workers with and without disabili-ties. A dozen students recentlygraduated and are either competi-tively employed or are currentlyworking on job-placement goals inthe community.

    Its a pleasure to witness thegrowth of a program as successfulas Project SEARCH, said Depart-

    ment of Human Services (DHS)Cabinet Secretary Laurie Gill.Expanding to a new communityand establishing business advisorycouncils, where employers provideinterview training and job place-ment assistance, are significantmilestones for Project SEARCHand its students in South Dakota.

    Founded by Erin Riehle inCincinnati in 1996, ProjectSEARCH has expanded to morethan 200 locations internationally.For more information about theprogram in South Dakota, contactDHS.FULL TIME NURSE POSITIONFULL TIME NURSE POSITION

    Rep. Noem announces efforts tocombat sexual assault in the military

    Rep. Kristi Noem outlined anumber of proposals to addresssexual assault in our nationsarmed forces. She announced theproposals in light of a 35 percentincrease in military sexualassaults since 2010 and is workingto get the policy changes made aspart of the upcoming NationalDefense Authorization Act (NDAA)of 2013.

    Specifically, Rep. Noem hopes toimprove investigations of sexualassaults in order to ensure thatvictims receive justice. Additional-ly, Noem is working with theHouse Armed Services Committeeto include provisions which wouldrequire the Secretary of Defense toestablish selection and qualifica-tion criteria for officers in sexualassault prevention positions.

    Provisions Noem is craftingwould require the Defense Depart-ment to develop a basic trainingplan and materials in order tomake prevention practices uni-form across the Armed Forces.

    Our military men and womenput themselves in harms way todefend our countrys freedom, butshould be able to feel safe whensurrounded by fellow soldiers,

    said Rep. Noem. This is a problemthat isnt getting any better and itneeds to be addressed in a mean-ingful, comprehensive way.

    Noem is proposing changes inthe following areas:

    Improved Investigation of Sex-Related Offenses. Rep. Noemadvocates a policy change thatwould direct the Secretary ofDefense to standardize recommen-dations by military criminal inves-tigative organizations as towhether a sex-related offense isfounded or unfounded. Thischange would aim to give militarycommanders better information inthe form of an expert opinion whenproceeding with prosecuting sexu-al assault crimes.

    Qualifications for SexualAssault Prevention/Support Per-sonnel. Rep. Noem believes theSecretary of Defense should be

    required to establish selection cri-

    teria for individuals in sexualassault prevention related posi-tions. Currently, there are not anyspecific qualifications for thesepositions. Changes in this specificarea are all the more important inlight of recently publicizedinstances of military personnel insexual assault prevention/supportpositions being accused of a sexualoffenses themselves.

    Basic Training Standards forSexual Assault. Rep. Noembelieves the Department ofDefense should be directed todevelop basic training plans andmaterials for sexual assault pre-vention. Currently the individualbranches of the military do theirown training plans for sexualassault, highlighting the need forconsistency among all branches.Rep. Noem supports a basic bar fortraining across all branches.

    As a member of the HouseArmed Services Subcommittee onMilitary Personnel, which has

    jurisdicti on over these issues,Noem has made it a priority tospeak up on behalf of those victim-ized by sexual assault while serv-ing in the military. She has spentthe last few months researching

    and working on these policychange proposals.

    Earlier this year, Noem ques-tioned U.S. Air Force Chief of StaffGeneral Mark A. Welsh III andU.S. Air Force Commander Gener-al Edward A. Rice, Jr. about sexu-al misconduct by basic traininginstructors at Lackland Air ForceBase.

    Rep. Noem continues to be anadvocate for women, both civilianand military. As a Vice Co-Chair ofthe Congressional Caucus forWomens Issues, Noem continuesto advocate for women and fami-lies in a bipartisan manner. Noemrecently returned from Af-ghanistan with a bipartisan groupof women lawmakers to see howthe withdrawal of American troopsis proceeding and to show supportfor Afghan women and their pushfor increased rights and opportuni-

    ties in their country.

I hope Chief Tidwell andChairwoman Sutley accept ourinvitation to visit one of ournations greatest treasures to see

    just how devastating the pine bee-

    tle has been to our forests and tofurther discuss potential solu-tions.

    The letter states: Over theyears, millions of acres of pineforests across the country havebeen destroyed by the MountainPine Beetle epidemic. We appreci-ate the resources that you havededicated to this emergency situa-tion which has severely impactedforests in the Rocky MountainRegion of Colorado, Kansas,Nebraska, South Dakota andWyoming.

    It continues: Our offices lookforward to working with U.S. For-est Service and the White HouseCouncil on Environmental Qualityso that together we can continue tomake strides in addressing thepine beetle epidemic. By touringthe forests and talking with stake-holders, we believe we can share

    the challenges and successes ofour forests and enhance coopera-tion between lawmakers, localcommunities, and our governmentagencies.

    Reps. Jared Polis (CO-2), Cyn-thia Lummis (WY-AL), Lee Terry(NE-3), and Cory Gardner (CO-4)have also signed onto this letter.
