CAMP HUMPHREYS — Summer vacation has come to a close and Humphreys American School (HAS) welcomed children back here on Monday morning, Aug. 27.
All elementary and middle school students with their parents were welcomed by HAS Principal Joyce Diggs and Colonel Darin S. Conkright, United States Army Garrison Humphreys Commander, at the bell-ringing ceremony. This traditional gathering is an opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and their families to formally usher in the year and welcome new members of Camp Humphreys community to the campus.
“The ringing of the school year brings the whole school together and starts the new (school) year in a good cheerful way. That is the way in which we welcome each other,” said Elena Johnson, the school librarian.
In his speech, Conkright emphasized the importance of reading and physical fitness for students.
“Anytime you can read and you have chance to, do it. It is much more fun than watching TV,” he said. “If you do those things, everything else in life is easy, I promise,” he added.
At the end of the brief ceremony children, parents and teachers yelled out ‘Yeah’ while HAS principal and the Garrison Commander rang the bell which represents the official opening of the new school year.
After the ceremony, students proceeded to their classrooms and got the opportunity to get to know their new classmates and teachers. They also got introduced to teacher’s rules, regulations and expectations.
“During the first day there a lot of administrative things that need to be done. But once we get through that we get right into educational components. I think it was wonderful that we had a sunny day and our garrison commander came and rang our school year for us. I think it was wonderful way to bring the school and the community together,” said Carlon Munroe, the elementary school teacher.
“The school provides great support and I believe kids are excited to be here. They are eager to learn and it is great. It is the best we can expect.”
Humphreys hosts Army 10-miler shadow run
By W. Wayne Marlow, U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys, Public Affairs
CAMP HUMPHREYS, SOUTH KOREA – Over 300 runners from across the Korean peninsula took part in the second annual Army 10-miler Shadow Run hosted here Oct. 2.
First Lieutenant Robert Anderson of the 532nd Military Intelligence Battalion won the nighttime race, designed to mirror the Army’s annual run in Washington, D.C., in 1 hour, 3 minutes and 51 seconds. First Lieutenant Sarah Rainville took the women’s crown, finishing in 1:16:44.
Anderson said he initially thought only about doing his best and having a good run. But when some entrants passed him early in the race, his focused changed.
“I was going to try and take it easy ... but then an adrenaline rush hit and I decided to pick it up,” he said.
Anderson maintained a steady pace, running the second half in just two more minutes than he did the first five miles. “I felt good the whole time,” he said. “I felt like I had some left in the tank. I started training for it last year, so I’ve been upping my mileage.”
The Camp Humphreys shadow run will be shown on a large screen during the Army 10-miler in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 9, and Anderson plans to be there to watch it and participate in his second 10-miler of the week. “This was prep for that one,” he said.
Former United States Army Garrison Humphreys Command Sgt. Maj. Jason Kim fired the opening gun at 9 p.m. locally to coincide with the actual time the run will start in Washington D.C. Led by Kim’s replacement, Command Sgt. Maj. Spencer Gray, the runners started under the Super Gym walkway, then snaked their way around the airfield twice, ending up back at Super Gym.
“It’s an absolutely great event,” Gray said. “Soldiers work hard, so when you can do something like this to build esprit de corps, it’s a positive thing. It’s an opportunity for everyone to have a good time.”
The crisp, cool October air helped keep the runners fresh, as did rehydration stations manned by volunteers along the route. The constant encouragement by fellow runners and cheering from the sidelines helped push the runners toward the finish.
“It’s not too cold. It’s nice running weather,” Gray said. “You can always wear something to keep you warm, and if it gets too hot, you can dress down.”
Anderson agreed that the race featured ideal conditions. “It’s great weather, no overheating,” he said. “It’s the best weather for running.”
Anderson said he has three brothers in the Army who are also all enthusiastic runners, and there was another family connection of note. Specialist Charles Rodgers IV flew from Hawaii to run the race with his father, Charles Rodgers III, who manages Splish and Splash Water Park on Humphreys. The two finished with identical times of 1:32:40.
Besides ideal weather and enthusiastic observers, the runners were treated to replicas of Washington, D.C., monuments built by Jeffrey Hubbard of the USAG Humphreys Family, Morale Welfare and Recreation office. The replicas, made of Styrofoam and braced by wood supports, included the Vietnam Memorial, the Pentagon, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, and the capitol. The project took about two weeks, according to Hubbard.
“It was to give everybody something extra to look at during the run and to do something different,” Hubbard said. “We figured looking at a poster would be kind of boring. We wanted to give them incentive to go and see the next one. They’ll be here next year. They’re built to last.”
Area III Sports Director Lonnie Herring credited volunteers with helping make the run a success.
“We had three drink tables on the trail and at the start and finish point,” he said. “We had BOSS bring in volunteers, folks standing on the road, and people handing out numbers and pace chips before the race.” The computerized chips, attached to the runners’ shoes, started and stopped when someone crossed the start and finish lines, giving everyone an accurate 10-mile time.
For all the logistics involved in having hundreds of people run 10 miles, Herring said most of the work was done beforehand.
“The pre-registration is the most time-consuming,” he said, also mentioning coordination with Military Police, road closures, medical considerations, and taxi and bus services being suspended. But all the work paid off in the end, Herring noted.
Prior to the run, entrants were addressed by USAG Humphreys Commander, Col. Joseph P. Moore.
“We’re here to have fun, and I hope your commanders told you that if you run this, there’s no P.T. tomorrow. Ten miles is no small task,” Moore said. “I’ve run this loop a lot at night. There’s plenty of light out there. The terrain is real friendly. There are no big hills, just a lot of open room to run.”
The top three finishers in the men’s 29 and under category were: Wbatt Reith (1:07:53); Samuel Smiths (1:09:09) and Daniel Bates (1:09:35). Following Anderson in the men’s 30-39 category were David Snow (1:12:41) and Nathan Stahl (1:18:02).
In the men’s 40-49 category, the top three finishers were Brett Bassett (1:14:49), Dan Burnett (1:17:06) and Felix Lassus (1:18:57). Leading the way in the men’s 50 and over category were Robert Nott (1:09:14), Mark Sullivan (1:09:57) and Kwon, Song-ki (1:19:23).
Following Rainville in the women’s 29 and under category were Kyle Wilson (1:22:20) and Liela Moser (1:26:01). In the women’s 30 and over category, top finishers were Sarah Stahl (1:20:45), Adam Leinen (1:27:52), and Jamila Moody (1:34:11). Taking the women’s over 40 crown was Kim, Hui-ok (1:37:06). In the women’s over 50 category, Barbara Garner (1:37:31) took first, followed by Susan Jentoft (1:43:23).

Holiday angels abound in every corner of the Korean peninsula

DAEGU GARRISON — Designed to extend sharing and caring to those in need, the Angel Tree project is an act of kindness that some members of the U.S. Army Garrison Daegu community are simply proud to be a part of. That act of kindness began with the Camp Walker Chapel congregation, and members of the Lambda Xi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Sunday, making Christmas a little better for some Daegu children.
The Love and Hope Orphanage was on the receiving end of this year’s Angel Tree holiday kindness. The event involved adopting an angel that was placed on the chapel’s Christmas tree. The angel contained the name of the child and his or her needs, such as clothing, as well as their sizes. A member of the congregation selected the angel that they thought they might be able to help.
Cynthia Sanchez, Protestant Women of the Chapel program vice president, has participated in the “Angel Tree” program for consecutive years.
“I was a volunteer for Love and Hope Orphanage, so I have a special place in my heart for the kids there,” sanchez said. “My special memory of the first year was wonderful. We baked them some cookies and they sang for us in Korean. If helping is a gift, there’s nothing I wouldn’t be willing to do.”
“The Angel Tree event is so important to us because it allows us to share the holidays with our Korean friends, as well as efforts to continue strengthening relationships with our Korean community,” said Chaplain (Capt.) Michael Jones. “We can stay inside the gate while we’re here, but we want to enjoy Korea and the Korean culture.”
For Capt. Brandon Wilkins, Commander, HHC USAG Daegu, and other members of the Lambda Xi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi fraternity from around the Korean peninsula, the Angel Tree activity was something they were proud to be a part of.
“What we wanted to do is something that would make a difference in someone else’s life,” Wilkins said. “Part of our fraternity’s purpose is to provide service to the community. We wanted to extend that service to our Korean host, and so our donation of $1200 in toys, baby wipes and diapers, was just one small way of ensuring the children at Love and Hope Orphanage, had a Christmas that would be both meaningful and memorable for them.”
“At the orphanage, kids have the same bed time,” Jones explained. “They eat the same food. They play the same game. In the orphanage they are not individuals. They are a group.
“ However, when they receive a present, it is all theirs. Sometimes, the kids will not open their gift. They just have it in hand, and they think, ‘wow’ this belongs to me. It’s just mine, and I don’t have to share it. So, you can see in their face, how much they appreciate the gift when they open it. They give you non-verbal feedback in the form of a smile or body language. The feedback may not be a written note, but I know their heart. So, as you can see, the ‘Angel Tree’ is a great way to build bridges and lasting relationships. Giving is a very important part of that.”

Now, for the first time, I made a shirt. Good that I had used some material obtained also on deep discount, because I made a number of mistakes, some retrievable, others not! I learned a lot. This one will serve me well for working in the garden and workshop. Now I’m looking forward to building a really artistic version. I already have the fabric chosen and bought. This is going to be different!
Dates: March 31st - April 4th, 2014 (five days)

Jay Smith, the well-known owner of Aspoya Boatworks, is coming to the School to teach our spring workshop. Check out this video of Jay talking about one of his "smaller" projects- the 55-foot Viking Longboat he's building near Anacortes WA. using traditional Norwegian tools and techniques. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nL6Uso6Hcoo
Jay is the "real deal" - he's devoted his life to studying and building these boats, from large to small.
Workshop students will learn how to build a Norwegian "Ferge", or ferryboat that is ten feet long as illustrated in the picture. The workshop will emphasize building the boat by eye, rightside-up, using hand tools and tree nail ("trunnel") fastenings.Familiarity with hand tools is a must for this class, as the course is too short to teach sharpening and tool use.
The boat will be sold after the class.

Aprendiendo a volar encontre una excusa...
una para no existir , una para dejar de fingir...
un lugar muy lejos...
muy lejos de aqui,
lleno de lo que tu..
de lo que tu nunca me diste
y aun asi fingiste y lo rompiste
o si, una vez más,
pero esta vez al ritmo de un tac tac.
pude subirte al cielo o bajar al infierno...
pero no ,
no fue suficiente ,
porque asi tu lo quisiste,
y lo rompiste
una
vez
más .-

Tinkering Studio founders Karen Wilkinson and Mike Petrich gave us a great tour of their hands-on workshop and learning center at the Exploratorium, in a field trip organized by the ReMake Education Summit team.
The Tinkering Studio is an immersive, active, creative place at the Exploratorium where museum visitors can slow down, become deeply engaged in an investigation of scientific phenomena, and make something—a piece of a collaborative chain reaction—that fully represents their ideas and aesthetic.
Karen and Mike showed some really creative ways to teach art, science and making -- and it inspired me to try some of their practices into our own maker art work and the classes we teach at Tam Makers.
