CAMP HUMPHREYS — Members of the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers program conducted free vehicle inspections here, May 11-12, as part of Military Spouse Appreciation Day.
About 10 BOSS volunteers with vehicle maintenance knowledge provided the inspections in the main Exchange parking lot.
Specialist Christopher Dant, a BOSS representative with the 348th Quartermaster Company, said, “We are here to offer free services and raise awareness, and also let people know that we take care of each other here at Camp Humphreys.”
Dant and others checked fluid levels, lights, wipers, belts and tires. The service was meant to show spouses that their contributions are recognized and appreciated, according to Spc. Kareen Medeiros, president and Area III coordinator for the BOSS program.
“Military spouses are deserving of our recognition and this is our way of giving back,” she said.
While the main focus was on spouses, Medeiros said others were given the service as well.
“We have had senior enlisted Soldiers and civilians asking if we can check their cars and we have provided inspections to them,” she said.
“And it won’t just be a one-time deal,” Medeiros added. “We plan to hold this event every quarter to show appreciation for military spouses.”
After the inspections, spouses were given vehicle inspection sheets outlining any deficiencies found and encouraged to take their vehicles to the Auto Skills Center to make any repairs. Spouses were also given free car wash tokens.

My husband bought me roses mixed in with these little carnations and I thought about how underappeciated carnations are. Everyone wants to go "ga ga" over roses, lilies and more extravagant flowers. So I thought I would feature my underappreciated carnations, that were presumed as window dressing for the roses.

Jack Joyce, a former Nike executive, and co-founder of Rogue Ales —a brewing (and distilling) company in Newport, Oregon— died at age 71, on 28 May 2014.
Joyce co-founded Rogue in Ashland, Oregon, in 1988, and one year later opened its first brew pub in Newport, Oregon, which still operates there, along with the company's headquarters. In 2013, Rogue was ranked among the top 25 craft brewers in the country, producing 105,000 barrels of beer.
The company, which has brew pubs in Oregon, Washington and California, now has two 'micro-distilleries', and a hopyard.
"He liked to call himself a farming lawyer and having the [hop] farm in Independence [Oregon] was really a dream come true for him," [his son] Brett Joyce said. "It was quite symbolic of his vision to do roguish things. It was so much fun for him."

*************
Statement from son, Brett Joyce, president of Rogue Ales:
"Yesterday the Rogue Nation and Family lost our co-founder, leader, friend, and father as Jack Joyce passed away at the age of 71.
Following a career as both a small town attorney and Nike executive, Jack and some friends founded Rogue in 1988 in Ashland, Oregon.
From the outset, Jack set Rogue on a path of innovation, creativity, and rebellion. Rogue made hoppy, flavorful beers and was told that no one would drink them. Rogue made a wide range of beers and was told no one wanted variety. Rogue sold 22oz bottles of beer and was told no one would pay a premium for a single serve beer. Rogue opened multiple pubs and breweries and was told that it would be wise to follow a more efficient and logical business plan.
Rogue took the road less, or perhaps never, travelled. Rogue was the first U.S. craft brewer to send beer to Japan. Rogue won 1,000 awards for product and packaging excellence. Rogue worried about getting better, not bigger. Rogue began distilling. Rogue began farming.
Rogue remained dedicated to its small town roots and made sure to give back to its local communities. Rogue started a Nation. This was all vintage Jack. He was the true Rogue and will be missed by us all.”

September 22 is Elephant Appreciation Day.
Interesting Elephant Facts
•Elephant trunks can get very heavy. It is not uncommon to see elephants resting them over a tusk!
•Elephants cry, play, have incredible memories, and laugh!
•Elephants are sensitive fellow animals where if a baby complains, the entire family will rumble and go over to touch and caress it.
•Elephants have greeting ceremonies when a friend that has been away for some time returns to the group.
•Elephants grieve at a loss of a stillborn baby, a family member, and in many cases other elephants.
•Elephants don't drink with their trunks, but use them as "tools" to drink with. This is accomplished by filling the trunk with water and then using it as a hose to pour it into the elephant's mouth.
Elephants are the largest living land mammals. Unfortunately, these giants are an endangered species.
Elephant populations in Africa and Asia have fallen by roughly 85 percent and 65 percent, respectively, since the turn of the 20th century, according to the conservation groupDefenders of Wildlife. And on top of the recent big-money poaching trend, elephants in both continents are perhaps even more threatened by habitat loss, whether it's from logging, land development or climate change. That has led to more human-elephant conflicts, and while innovative, nonlethal deterrents exist — including things like pepper spray, guard donkeys and booby traps — the problem is unlikely to go away as long as elephants' habitats keep dwindling
"Hey, baby": Duke Award winner Thomasine Lewis' pet name for everyone -- students, faculty and staff -- during her 49-plus years at W&M.
“One of the most valuable things a human being can do for others is to genuinely care about them and reach out to them in friendship and love,” President Taylor Reveley said in his 2010 remarks. “Thomasine's life at William & Mary has been spent doing just this, and we are enormously grateful to her.”
