Half-Time Report There are so many self-help books on the market these days — a virtual sea of good intentions. Where do you start? If anyone's listening, I'd strongly recommend a new title that I ran across at the library last week. It's called Take Control and it's written by Michael Janke, -a former Navy Seal and consultant to various Fortune 500 companies. Plain and simple, it's a practical guide for improving performance with an emphasis on discipline and self-control. "The self-disciplined person moves deliberately each day toward something specific," Janke writes. "Self-discipline is not related to punishment. It is pure sustained self-control. Through recorded history, self-discipline has been responsible for the improvement of all mankind . . . It has allowed average men and women to overcome tremendous obstacles in their personal journeys to happiness, wealth and success. It builds character, self-esteem, morals, courage and honor in everyday people." Reading Mr. Janke's book prompted me to consider my own situation at home, at work and in my local lodge and the power that making "right choices" can have. "The ability to choose what is better for us, instead of what is easier on us, comes from the process of building up our self-discipline," writes Janke. The first step in this process, he says, is determining what it is you want in life. Makes sense. It's also a good question to ask from time to time in our local lodge meetings. "What do we want to do as a lodge that can make a positive difference for our members and for the communi ty?" By answering this question and then focusing time and energy on the reply, lodge activities take on clarity and purpose. But as we all know, simply wanting something isn't enough. "You must define, focus and schedule specific actions that you will take to have what you desire," directs Janke. Again, as that applies to our lodges, how seaworthy your vessel is depends on various factors and situations. The good news is it's never too late to rebuild your ship. How your lodge is sailing at this point is a direct result of the kind of cargo you are hauling and your crew's ability to set goals and navigate. "The process of, mastering self-discipline is like that of rebuilding a ship. It enables us to throw out all of the
harmful and useless junk, fix the leaking holes and install a new and powerful navigation system that will take us swiftly to meeting our goals," says Janke. Of course, building a lodge into the kind of organization that people want to join and be part of takes more than reading a book and talking about selfdiscipline. It takes a spark of creativity and a ton of persistence. The SPJST is mid-way through the Mission 2100 Membership Drive. The results through June are posted in this week's Vestnik. What about your lodge? Are you where you want to be at this point? If you are — that's great. Keep up the good work. If you aren't, there's no better time than now — at halftime — to regroup. The old adage "you are what you think" is one of the basic laws of human nature. Apply the power of discipline to program your lodge for success and happiness in the second half. In the words of Michael Janke, "Think positive and optimistic thoughts, and good things will happen."
"Through recorded history, self-discipline has been responsible for the improvement of all mankind."
Get Well Wishes SPJST Home Office management and staff extend their wishes for a speedy recovery to Legal Advisor Sidney Kacir, who experienced the rupture of an abdominal aneurysm on. Friday, June 29. Following surgery, Brother Kacir is on the road to recovery. As of this writing, he was expected to be out of the hospital in a day or two. Until he is back in the office, well-wishers may direct their cards and notes to the President's Office in care of the SPJST Home Office. Recruiter of the Month Congratulations — for the second month in a row — to Insurance Department Administrative Assistant Doni Powell who was recognized as the SPJST Home Office "Recruiter of the Month" for June. Sister Powell generated 23 sales leads for the Insurance Department to forward to Weal lodge sales representatives. For her initiative, she receives a half-day of vacation and the "Recruiter of the Month" parking space at the SPJST Home Office. Thanks, too, to other Home Office personnel who generated leads during the month. A total of 81 leads were generated by SPJST Home Office in June. Please see member leads totals generated through June on page 5. —SPJST-

SPJST records 801 applications through June in Mission 2100 program Through the end of June 2001, the SPJST had received applications for 801 insurance certificates. Over the same period, a total of 714 insurance certificates were issued. The goal of the 2001 Mission 2100 membership drive is to write at least 2,100 applications in 2001. In conjunction with the SPJST's Mission 2100 program, local lodges have been assigned application quotas for the year 2001. In most cases, the lodge quota has been based largely on past performance and perceived potential.
The fourth colurnn,"Youth Club Quota," applies to those lodges with active youth clubs and reflects the number of applications written for members between the ages of Q and 17. "Youth Club" totals will be applied toward the lodge's total quota. An asterisk (*) denotes that the lodge does not have a youth club. The sixth column "Lodge Incentive Count" reflects the number of new certificates issued for the Lodge Recognition and Incentive Program through June 30, 2001. —SPJST-

6/VESTNIK—Wednesday, July 11, 2001
From Our Readers Article triggers recollections of words from the past Dear Members of SPJST, In my whole lifetime, I have written one — maybe two — letters to the Vestnik, but I have been Vestnik reader for many years. In a recent issue of the Vestnik, I read an article written about the cookbook Sylvia and John Lorinc had compiled of Slovak recipes. The recipe that really caught my eye was the one for halusky (dumplings.) My mama, Terezie Janak Dornak, used to make them for our dinner (noon) meal on Fridays and, yes, she always called them halusky, but often times our friends and we would compare our Czech words for different things. I remember one of our friends telling me that his family called dumplings, zisky. Well, I started laughing and told that person that if my mama would have told me to bring her some zisky, I would quickly bring her some corn cobs. Ha! That also brings to mind another word — clothes pins. We always called them klinky, My mother-in-law, Mary Prda Tymrak, called them kramelky and a friend told me they called them zapenaky. And there was a variety of names for potatoes also. We called them kobzole. Other folks called them brambory or zemaky. Maybe some of our Vestnik readers would write to the Vestnik and give us their variations of some of their Czech words. _ I am not sure that I have spelled the Czech words correctly as I had no formal schooling in reading and writing of the Czech language. I only know
District Two YAD (Continued from page 3.)
Craft Viewing Awards: Crafts, Points and Participation 5:30 p.m. (Approximately) Closing Comments We look forward to seeing you on July 15 at Seaton Star Hall. This day is for everyone even if you do not have a youth participating. Come out and enjoy the talent and fellowship. All of us together will make District Two YAD a memorable success for our youth. Fraternally, Patsy Koslovsky District Two Youth Counselor —SPJSTwhat my mother taught me when I was a little girl "many moons ago!" My mother subscribed to Pritel Ditek magazine and so every afternoon when it was nap time, my mama would read stories from the Dedska Besedka to me and I guess that is the way that I learned to read and write the Czech language even before I started to public school. I do not recall writing the language that early in life, but my folks subscribed to the Novy Domov and Nasinec and I was encouraged to try to read from them! I still enjoy the Czech articles in the Vestnik and sincerely hope that you will continue to print the Czech section in the Vestnik every week. Fraternally, Jourdine Tymrak Member, Lodge 202, Jourdanton

Lodge Letters Section Lodge 1, Fayetteville and Fayette CHS enjoy annual picnic SPJST Lodge 1, Fayetteville and the Fayette County Chapter of the Czech Heritage Society of Texas met Saturday, June 23, 2001 at Polansky's Lake at Rek Hill for their annual combined picnic. Happy to report that it did not rain on this year's picnic and approximately 30 attended the covered dish affair which included one out-of-state guest from California, daughter of Ben and Georgia Hrachovy. A business meeting was held after lunch. Correspondence was read which included a thank you note from President Howard Leshikar acknowledging Lodge l's donation to the "100 Pennies Scholarship Drive and the SPJST" Lodge Incentive Update Report with Mission 2100 quota of 10. Members were urged to help meet the goal of 2100 applications this year. District Director Reports District One Director Donnie Victorick and wife also were able to attend the picnic this year. He stated that SPJST's last rating had dropped from A+ to B+. This does not indicate there is something wrong with the company, but the need to sell more HAPPY GRADUATION
Senior Life.
A Plan .for Members Between 50 and 80. How much is your life worth? And how much did you insure it for? Two tough questions. Questions that get even tougher as you get older. Now, thanks to SPJST's two Senior Life insurance plans, we may have some answers for you.
ADAM SIPTAK
The SPJST Senior Life Plan is for people in good health who can correctly answer "no" to the general health questions on the application. The SPJST Senior Life Graded Benefit Plan is for people with some health problems but are still found to be eligible. This plan has some limitations on coverage. The Senior Life Graded Benefit provides an accidental death benefit for the full amount of the certificate immediately for the first three years. The death benefit from other causes is the refund of premiums, plus 20 percent. After three years, both Senior Life plans provide exactly the same benefit. No doctor's examination is necessary and the coverage cannot be canc. eled, so long as premiums are paid. Moreover, the Senior Life plan has a guaranteed cash value and a certificate loan benefit. For more information on the SPJST Senior Life certificate or other financial products, please contact your local lodge sales representative.

Leland Hensley had a massive stroke and was in intensive care for over a week. He is a little better and we all hope he keeps on improving. Leland and Dorothy were on the Entertainment Committee for many years, Leland usually being vice chairman. Our Birthday Club started long ago as a social club, but soon started making money which they gave to the lodge. The club does much for the lodge. They have charge of the pastries on special events and hold raffles, to name a few. The club grew to a large membership and used to have luncheons on the first and second Wednesdays of each month. As members got older, they have cut it down to only one luncheon on the second Wednesday when they also have their monthly meeting. Their luncheons are always very good! Their officers are: President Flo Orsag; Vice President Evelyn Zajicek; Secretary Ellen Miculka; Treasurer . Mary Quider, Ticket Chairlady Bessie Dewer, Sunshine and Work Recorder Dona Clooney, Chaplain Helen Hegwood, and Telephone Committee Margie Anders, Margaret Bohac, Evelyn Mikolas and Julie Kinnamon.

They had a son, Chris Bubenik of Wall, who has carried on with the family farming operation, and a daughter, Joyce Piland, also of Wall. Eddie loved to see things growcotton, milo, wheat, livestock and his family—everything except weeds. His fields were always some of the cleanest around with the straightest rows. He and his wife, Evelyn, lived near Wall and farmed side-by-side in the Wall and Veribest communities for many years before retiring and moving to San Angelo in 1991. He was a member of St. Ambrose Catholic Church, the Wall Volunteer Fire Department, Wall Young Farmers, Knights of Columbus, SPJST Lodge 160 and the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. For the past several years, Eddie battled numerous major health problems, but through it all never became bitter. His gentle, sweet nature and pleasant smile will always be remembered. He was a hard worker, and for many years one of his best friends was his John Deere tractor. Eddie is survived by his wife, Evelyn; his son and daughter-in-law, Chris and Jackie Bubenik; son-in-law and daughter, Tim and Joyce Piland; grandchildren, Chance Ames and wife, Mary Helen, Danny Piland and wife, Peggy, and Jessica, Chase and Patrick Bubenik; two great-grandchildren, Selena Ames and Anton Aitches, both of San Angelo; two
brothers and sisters-in-law, Albert and Betty Bubenik of San Angelo and Julius and Deloris Bubenik of Houston; two sisters, Mary Havlak of San Angelo and Lillie Pechacek of Kingsville; two sisters-in-law, Lillian Pagel of San Angelo and Lorraine Motl of Houston; several nieces and nephews and many friends.
