A number of Soldiers with the 188th Engineer Company exchange letters with schoolchildren in North Dakota thanks to some pen pal connections made by the North Dakota National Guard Youth Program.
One Soldier is Spc. Kris Schaller, of Fargo. When Schaller was home on leave recently, he called his pen pal, Max, to let him know he’d be passing through Bismarck and had time to meet with him and his mom there.
“He is an extremely valuable Soldier, and now this just speaks to what kind of person he is,” said 1st Sgt. Eric Binstock, of Argusville, N.D. “I am totally impressed and in awe of this amazing citizen-Soldier we acquired when Schaller volunteered to deploy with us.”
Max seems pretty in awe, too.
“The picture says it all,” Binstock wrote when he passed along a photo of the writing buddies. “I think this made Max’s year!”
Here’s what his mom had to say in a letter to Jessi Clark-Woinorowicz, state youth program coordinator: “I just wanted to share an exciting story of our day with you. Today the pen pal you set Max up (with) gave us a call. He is home on his two-week leave and was coming through Bismarck and wanted to see if he could meet Max! We met with him at Perkins for soda and a cookie, and he told us about Kuwait and showed Max some pictures of his grandpa in WWII. I must say, North Dakota produces some very respectable Soldiers. Again, thanks for all you have done to help make this possible for my son! Kris is a wonderful person, and we are very blessed to have the chance to meet him!”

Bellagio Conservatory description.
Most hotels have gardeners, but the Bellagio has 120 of them. That's not including the designers, engineers and electricians who work behind the scenes to make all that magic happen. With 15,000-18,000 visitors to impress every day, you don't have to be a genius to understand why they need so many hands on deck.
Five times a year: Chinese New Year, spring, summer, fall and winter, the Bellagio Conservatory team creates a full-blown floral production. For an entire week, the staff work 24 hours a day to transform the nearly 14,000-square-foot space with tens of thousands of flowers, trees, and plants.
The horticulturalists, who are artists in their own right, create jaw-dropping displays that most people couldn't even make with paper, let alone flowers. It's pretty safe to say that they have more creativity in their pinky fingers than most of us do in our entire bodies.
During the course of each seasonal exhibit, more than 10,000 potted flowers are hand-watered and switched out every two weeks. Don't worry, all the wilted flowers are reused and converted to mulch, in fact 90 percent of the conservatory is recycled. How's that for green? These creations are so impressive that more than 5 million visitors a year come to experience them.
LOS ANGELES — Employees from around the Los Angeles District gathered for the annual Engineer Day and Awards Ceremony at Santa Fe Dam Recreation Area near Irwindale, Calif., June 24.
Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy welcomed everyone and mentioned that as a USMA graduate he was very pleased with the motto selection, Duty, Honor, Country, the motto of West Point. He said it is also the District’s foundation as we are Building Strong and Taking Care of People.
With 90 employees receiving length of service certificates ranging from ten to 45 years it is clearly appropriate as a tribute to them and the thousands of Soldiers and Civilians serving in 39 countries around the world.
The day featured “County Fair” type events for kids of all ages and several teambuilding challenges with the "Future Chiefs" defeating "The Chiefs" seven to three in Ultimate Frisbee. The 2011 Picnic Committee ensured a wide range of activity and a raffle drawing to close out the day with prizes like iPad, LCD TV and gift certificates.
June is an important month for Army and Americans. Flag Day and the Army’s birthday on June 14 and the reason for Engineer Day, George Washington's appointing the first Army engineers on June 16, 1775.

A new friend Bob. He goes by the nickname of "Engineer". A resident of the city for the past 7 years,bob originally came from the east coast and settled in Tucson. So here we are 8 am on a Sunday in February and its freezing. Probably 40 degrees, Bob is making his morning brew and rolling his cigarette. He is such a cool guy. Talking to him you wouldn't know he lives on the street.
As in all cities, Tucson has its share of homeless residents. I have met many while working as a Paramedic. I try to go and spend some time with them listen to their stories and just enjoy their company. Some of them have had very interesting lives. Bob is a Vietnam Veteran.
In my eyes many homeless people I have met have had a rough patch at some point in their life that put them in their current predicament.
I processed the original with PS CS4 to enhance the character and create a little more dramatic moment.
A little desaturation, noise, high pass, and contrast goes a long way.
Equipment: Canon XSI - Sigma 50mm @ f2.0. I just love the simplicity of the 50mm lens. Lightroom 2.2 and PS CS4.

"Engineer at Work"
Week 6
This week's challenge was "at your desk." I had intentions to do something cool at home, but I'm finding time is hard to come by these days. So here's a quick snap at work of things I use everyday. As you can tell, coffee is important to me because it's the fuel that keeps my brain functioning. I also spend a good bit of time each morning grinding beans and brewing it in a French press.
Stranger #98 of my Flickr 100 Strangers is Tommy, who works as an Engineer for a local railroad and lives in Old Town Spring where I met him while I was admiring his beautiful Confederate rose bush.
He shared with me that it was a cutting from his mom as were most of his plants... He has a lovely yard with Bottlebrush, Roses, Texas Star, and Confederate Roses along with other neat flowers. He tries to plant things that will attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.
Single currently though he has tried marriage twice and takes pride in his Texas roots (check out his Tin Texas star, Lone Star trim, and his cowboy hat planter on his front steps). He really enjoys his gardening and loves riding his "Harley" motorcycle. Laid back and happy to talk about his lovely garden and gave his mom lots of credit for getting him started. Thanks so much Tommy for taking time to visit with me and share your beautiful garden... and for agreeing to be one of my 100 Strangers on Flickr.

Non-motorized boating pilot program comes to an end
LOS ANGELES — When the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, granted a license in July for a seven week non-motorized boating pilot program on the Los Angeles River, the Los Angeles Conservation Corps quickly booked the allotted tours.
“It took about 10 minutes for the 280 tickets to sell, once we posted the announcement on line,” said Yasmin Mero-Corona, program coordinator, Los Angeles Conservation Corps. “We had another 300 on a waiting list to fill any no-shows. One gentleman stood by with his check every weekend until we had a cancellation for him to fill,” Mero-Corona added.
The test program allowed for no more than two trips per day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday beginning August 12 and ending September 25. The program was as much about education as it was access, with many of the tours featuring guest speakers, including Corps personnel, talking about the history of the river and plans for its revitalization.
The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority supervised the two-hour canoe and kayak trips covering a 1.5-mile stretch of the river. While most of the trip is a leisurely ride the 'Cattail Shoot' provides a bit of excitement as the staff helps participants and their vessels through a narrow, shallow shoot and one portage point, 'Rocky Rapids,' that requires boaters to exit their crafts and navigate the rocks on foot.
“A mentor of mine when I was a biologist at New York District was fond of saying, touch the resource. That's what accessing the river is to so many urban dwellers in Los Angeles,” said Josephine Axt, Chief, Planning Division, Los Angeles District, during her tour September 16.
“Even though there are nearby mountains where people can enjoy the outdoors, their day to day experience doesn't usually encourage or encompass much of a non-urban environment. Accessing the river is symbolic of a shared vision many LA residents have of the city embracing a more sustainable future,” added Axt.
For many boaters these trips represented their first access to the river and their enthusiasm was not tied to their skill level.
“The participants were nervous at first because for many adults, this was the first time on a canoe or kayak,” said Supervising Ranger III, Fernando Gomez. “However, at the end of the trip, they wanted more and some even said they were going to go out and buy a kayak to continue their experience, not on the LA River of course. For the skilled kayakers, they walked away with the surprise of how beautiful and calming the trip was,” Gomez added.
The Corps is an active partner in revitalizing and preserving the Los Angeles River, however, an important primary mission remains.
“I must be clear, nothing we do can jeopardize human safety or reduce the flood carrying capacity of this river,” said Col. Mark Toy, Los Angeles District Commander, during his opening remarks for the inaugural tour Aug. 8.
Now that the non-motorized boating pilot program has ended, no boating is authorized on the Los Angeles River. The river can, very quickly, become extremely dangerous, especially during the general winter storm season.
The Corps will review trip reports and lessons learned from staff and participants. Working with the stakeholders the Corps will carefully consider all options for boating on the Los Angeles River in future years.

Virginia National Guard Soldiers put their engineering skills to work June 5, 2014, to help with an economic development project in Henry County, Va. during their annual training that began June 2. More than 120 Soldiers from the Powhatan-based 180th Engineer Company, 276th Engineer Battalion, 91st Troop Command will work to prepare an approximate 15 acre pad for future business development in the Patriot Centre Industrial Park. The Soldiers are scheduled to conduct clearing, grubbing and debris removal on the pad and roadway. Once the debris is removed, they will continue with cut, fill and compaction operations.The Soldiers from the 180th will conduct their two-week annual training on the site, then turn the operation over to the Cedar Bluff-based 1033rd Engineer Support Company for another two weeks of work. Henry County requested support from the Virginia National Guard through National Guard Bureau's Innovative Readiness Training project to provide engineering construction operations, personnel and equipment support at no cost to the county to further the construction and development of the Patriot Centre Industrial Park. Innovative Readiness Training provides real world training opportunities for Soldiers and units to prepare them for their wartime and domestic missions while supporting the needs of America's communities.
