FIRE by Zoe Fry and The Introverts Collective
The FIRE Installation appears as a grove of fire ravaged Manzanita trees in stark contrast to the white canvas of the Black Rock Desert. Each tree stands as a unique sculpture, an individual entity, made more beautiful by its initial struggle for sun, the resistance to gravity, and ultimately the sculpting by blazing wildfire heat.
The installation poses questions regarding humanities ongoing relationship to the element of fire. Is FIRE friend or foe; teacher, healer, provider or malevolent force? Accompanying the grove an interactive altar provides a space for 2D art and written word responses to the questions.

Provider Grill opens at new location
CAMP HUMPHREYS – The Provider Grill opened at its new location on June 4.
The 194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion will continue to operate the Provider Grill at its new location, Building 1291. The dining facility had previously been the Red Dragon Inn and was operated by the 719th Military Intelligence Battalion.
Cake and ribbon cuttings were held to celebrate the occasion, and the 501st Sustainment Brigade Commander, Col. Darrell Duckworth, served as guest speaker.
“If you have ever had the opportunity to dine in a facility as excellent as the Red Dragon Inn, or the old Provider Grill, then you know what a special day this is, not just for the 194th CSSB, but for all of USAG Humphreys,” Duckworth said. “It is with great pride that the 501st Sustainment Brigade, together with the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, have been able to renovate and transfer this consolidated dining facility. I congratulate all those who have contributed to this achievement. The opening of Provider Grill is indeed a day for celebration.”
Duckworth noted that the day marks a further strengthening of the ties between the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI.
“Today we recognize the opening of the new Provider Grill, signifying a bond between the Soldiers of the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI Battalion,” he said.
“I have all the confidence that the 194th Provider Battalion’s leadership will maintain and uphold the standard of nutrition, service and dedication previously demonstrated throughout the history of both the Provider Grill and the Red Dragon Inn. Both dining facilities have a long history of excellence. They have won awards such as the best decorated dining facility, best theme and originality, best culinary arts display and garnishments and best small dining facility. And it’s all supported by professional food service Soldiers and Korean culinary chefs.”
Duckworth noted the impact the dining facility will have on Humphreys.
“The Provider Grill will feed and nourish more than 800 Soldiers daily, with selections across all food groups,” he said.
“Holidays have been known as a specialty for this dining facility and will continue to remain so under the leadership of the Provider Battalion. With the combining of the Red Dragon Inn and Provider Grill staffs, this dining facility will be taking on a new dynamic, with almost twice as many Soldiers to support.”
Duckworth also touched on the vital role cooks play.
“The Army’s food supply specialists are some of the hardest working Soldiers in our Army today. Generally, they are the first one awake and the last one to go home,” he said. “For them, there is no such thing as the weekend. They still have a responsibility to supply and serve meals on Saturdays and Sundays. Every leader in this great Army knows the importance of chow and how it directly affects the morale of our great Soldiers.”
David Duffie, USAG Humphreys food program manager, talked about the preparation involved in the DFAC transition.
“We did a lot of corresponding with the units with regard to changing of the signs and décor items like table cloths, window shades, chair covers and DFAC account changes,” he said.
Mark Cox, United States Army Garrison Humphreys deputy commander, expressed his high expectations for the Provider Grill.
"At its new location, the Provider Grill will be filling a vital function on post and it is up to the task,” he said. “The 194th's leadership and Soldiers can be counted on to deliver delicious, nutritious meals in a vibrant setting. They have won a long line of awards and we look forward to that level of service continuing.”

Fairchild C-123K Provider
The C-123 was originally designed to be a glider by the Chase Aircraft Company. Fairchild Aviation inherited the design and created the Provider. The plane was designed to fly from short, unprepared runways and incorporated a rear ramp for parachute jumps, cargo drops and parachute drag unloading. The plane could carry most Army wheeled vehicles and howitzers. The C-123 was used extensively in Viet Nam as the primary Agent Orange defoliant sprayship. A modified C-123 served as General William Westmoreland's executive transport. No fuel is carried in the wings of the aircraft. All is carried in the engine nacelles or wing drop tanks to reduce the chance of fire in combat. This attributed to the Provider's relatively short combat radius.
Our C-123K is the troop transport version of the "Provider". The museum's C-123 was originally built as a B model, serial number 54-612, manufactured by Fairchild Aircraft, Hagerstown, MD, and was delivered to the Air Force on December 20, 1955 at Ardmore AFB, OK. This aircraft was flown by 10 different units assigned to the Tactical Air Command, Air Force Reserve, and a two-year stint with USAFE at Dreux AB, France, as well as nine months at Leopoldville AP, Congo, until 1965. Our aircraft was converted from a B model to a K model in 1967.
Rockwell U-9A Aero Commander
The Aero Design and Engineering Company, a subsidiary of Rockwell-Standard Corporation formed in December of 1944 in Culver City, CA, produced a twin-engined executive aircraft prototype called the Aero Commander. Its first flight was on April 23, 1948.
Aero Design and Engineering was established in Oklahoma in October of 1950 to manufacture the aircraft. The first production version was the Aero Commander 520 Transport. This version received its Approved Type Certification on January 31, 1952. The first production aircraft was delivered on February 5, 1952.
These aircraft were used primarily for VIP transport duties. Throughout the main part of its military career in the 1950s, the Aero Commander was known as the L-26. The museum's aircraft (52-6218) was an Army YL-26A liaison aircraft from 1952 until the Pentagon system for aircraft designations was overhauled on October 1, 1962, and it became a U-9A. (source: Robert F. Dorr, Air Force Times)
The museum's aircraft, S/N 52-6218, flew as a US Army U-9A and was last stationed at Fort Eustis(?), VA.

Provider Grill opens at new location
CAMP HUMPHREYS – The Provider Grill opened at its new location on June 4.
The 194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion will continue to operate the Provider Grill at its new location, Building 1291. The dining facility had previously been the Red Dragon Inn and was operated by the 719th Military Intelligence Battalion.
Cake and ribbon cuttings were held to celebrate the occasion, and the 501st Sustainment Brigade Commander, Col. Darrell Duckworth, served as guest speaker.
“If you have ever had the opportunity to dine in a facility as excellent as the Red Dragon Inn, or the old Provider Grill, then you know what a special day this is, not just for the 194th CSSB, but for all of USAG Humphreys,” Duckworth said. “It is with great pride that the 501st Sustainment Brigade, together with the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, have been able to renovate and transfer this consolidated dining facility. I congratulate all those who have contributed to this achievement. The opening of Provider Grill is indeed a day for celebration.”
Duckworth noted that the day marks a further strengthening of the ties between the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI.
“Today we recognize the opening of the new Provider Grill, signifying a bond between the Soldiers of the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI Battalion,” he said.
“I have all the confidence that the 194th Provider Battalion’s leadership will maintain and uphold the standard of nutrition, service and dedication previously demonstrated throughout the history of both the Provider Grill and the Red Dragon Inn. Both dining facilities have a long history of excellence. They have won awards such as the best decorated dining facility, best theme and originality, best culinary arts display and garnishments and best small dining facility. And it’s all supported by professional food service Soldiers and Korean culinary chefs.”
Duckworth noted the impact the dining facility will have on Humphreys.
“The Provider Grill will feed and nourish more than 800 Soldiers daily, with selections across all food groups,” he said.
“Holidays have been known as a specialty for this dining facility and will continue to remain so under the leadership of the Provider Battalion. With the combining of the Red Dragon Inn and Provider Grill staffs, this dining facility will be taking on a new dynamic, with almost twice as many Soldiers to support.”
Duckworth also touched on the vital role cooks play.
“The Army’s food supply specialists are some of the hardest working Soldiers in our Army today. Generally, they are the first one awake and the last one to go home,” he said. “For them, there is no such thing as the weekend. They still have a responsibility to supply and serve meals on Saturdays and Sundays. Every leader in this great Army knows the importance of chow and how it directly affects the morale of our great Soldiers.”
David Duffie, USAG Humphreys food program manager, talked about the preparation involved in the DFAC transition.
“We did a lot of corresponding with the units with regard to changing of the signs and décor items like table cloths, window shades, chair covers and DFAC account changes,” he said.
Mark Cox, United States Army Garrison Humphreys deputy commander, expressed his high expectations for the Provider Grill.
"At its new location, the Provider Grill will be filling a vital function on post and it is up to the task,” he said. “The 194th's leadership and Soldiers can be counted on to deliver delicious, nutritious meals in a vibrant setting. They have won a long line of awards and we look forward to that level of service continuing.”
Norway / Innlandet - Jotunheimen
Sjoa
The Sjoa is a river in Innlandet county, Norway. The 98-kilometre (61 mi) long river runs through the municipalities of Vågå and Sel and it provides the outlet from lake Gjende at Gjendesheim in the Jotunheimen mountains of Norway's Jotunheim National Park. The river flows eastward through the Sjodalen valley and Heidal valley into the Gudbrandsdalslågen river at the village of Sjoa.
South of the village of Randsverk, the river flows through Ridderspranget which is a ravine named after a Norwegian myth.
Rafting, kayaking and fishing
The river is used for kayaking, rafting and fishing. Thirteen deaths have occurred in the river, from 1989 to 2010. This includes four deaths involving a group of tourists in various inflatable "catarafts", on 24 July 2010 (a national newspaper claimed that at that time the level of the river was 10 centimetres (4 in) above a safe level for rafting).
There are several companies offering rafting, kayaking, riverboarding and other activities in Sjoa and the surrounding area. Some parts of the river are impossible to raft.[citation needed] Some parts are blocked by large rocks which the river flows underneath. These areas are considered "death traps" by the local commercial rafting providers.

Der Fluss Sjoa ist ein wasserreicher Wildfluss im norwegischen Innlandet. Er beginnt seinen Lauf am Ostende des Gjendesees bei Gjendesheim im Nationalpark Jotunheimen und fließt von dort aus in nordöstlicher Richtung. Er durchquert dabei das landschaftlich schöne Hochtal Sjoadalen, bevor er später in den Lågen mündet.
Der Name Sjoa kommt von dem altnorwegischen Wort hjár, das der ..., der glitzert bedeutet.
Die Sjoa durchfließt südlich des Ortes Randsverk eine Klamm, die als Ridderspranget („Rittersprung“) bekannt ist. Der Sage nach konnte der Ritter Sigvat Kvie nach einem Brautraub seinen Verfolgern entkommen, indem er mit seinem Pferd an dieser Stelle über die etwa drei Meter breite Kluft sprang und die nachkommenden Verfolger in die Schlucht stieß.
Der Fluss wurde 1973 durch einen Stortingbeschluss dauerhaft vor der Nutzung der Wasserkraft geschützt.
Sport
Die letzten Kilometer des Flussverlaufs durch das Heidalen stellen ein sehr beliebtes Kajak- und Raftgewässer dar. Die Sjoa hat dabei unterschiedliche Schwierigkeitsgrade, meist III bis IV. Der sogenannte Durchbruch – die Mündung in den Lågen – bildet die schwierigste (befahrbare) Stelle und wird mit IV-V klassifiziert. Die Sjoa gilt als der bekannteste Wildwasserfluss in Norwegen.

I never did get the opportunity to shoot the Provider in Algoma paint. She is now on her way overseas for scrap.
Algoma Provider scrap tow departs for Turkey
6/10 - With the tug VB Artico on the bow, the former Algoma Provider – its name shortened to OVI for her last voyage, stack markings painted over and a homeport of Freetown (Sierra Leone) lettered on the stern – was towed from Montreal early Sunday morning bound for a Turkish scrapyard. The 730-foot vessel was built at Collingwood, Ont., for Canada Steamship Lines in 1963 as Murray Bay and also sailed for the Upper Lakes fleet as Canadian Provider. She made only a few trips last fall under Algoma Central colors and the Algoma Provider name. With the departure of the Provider, there are only two steam-powered vessels left in the Canadian lakes and Seaway fleet, Algoma Montrealais and Algoma Quebecois. The former is sailing this year, but the latter remains laid up.
Medic 2 - Caldwell Memorial Hospital, Caldwell, Idaho.
Canyon County Paramedics, the ambulance service, can trace its lineage from three private providers: Canyon County Ambulance Service of Caldwell, Idaho, Pyra-Med Emergency Services, Inc. of Caldwell/Boise, Idaho, and Twin Cities Ambulance service of Nampa, Idaho. Not too much is known about the first two services, Canyon County and Pyra-Med; the former may have given rise to the latter around 1976. I became aware of Canyon County Ambulance Service in the early 70s; it faded from existence sometime in the late 70s. Pyra-Med existed between 1976 and 1978 according to the State of Idaho, Secretary of State website. Twin Cities, owned and operated by Claude Ellis from 1971 to 1979, was the last private ambulance service in Canyon County. Headquartered in Nampa, Idaho, Twin Cities provided the wheels under which the county paramedic program was able to gain traction and immerge as the third-service utility know as Canyon County Paramedics. This transition took place between 1975 and 1979. Once the county completed acquisition of all necessary equipment needed to operate independently of Twin Cities, Mr. Ellis closed the doors to his company, sold all assets, and left the area to become “ . . . the pastor of a church in California,” he told me prior to his departure. That was 1979.
The vehicle shown is a Type-1 remount of a 1975 American Coaches "Amliner" on 1980 Chevrolet C-30 Chassis. In 1975, Canyon County purchased two such units through the State of Idaho using a program of matching funds, each entity paying 50% of the vehicle’s cost. This purchasing program effectively ushered out the era of Cadillac and home-built ambulances for vehicles that conformed to current standards of the day.

During World War II, both Great Britain and Germany had experimented with very large glider designs (the Hamlicar and Gigant, respectively) capable of carrying tanks. Though glider assaults had varied results during the war, the US Air Force briefly considered resurrecting the idea in 1948, and commissioned Chase Aircraft to build a large glider, the XCG-20 Avitruc. The XCG-20 was of all-metal construction, with a fully-equipped flight deck and a rear-mounted loading ramp for vehicles to be driven directly into the fuselage. The USAF abandoned the idea of glider assaults soon after the first XCG-20 was completed, but Chase had anticipated this: through the simple installation of two propeller-driven engines, the XCG-20 became the XC-123. This itself was considered only an interim design, as the XC-123A had four turbojet engines, becoming the first all-jet transport aircraft.
The USAF rejected the XC-123A, as it was found to have poor performance and short range, owing to the thirsty jets of the early 1950s. However, the piston-engined XC-123 showed promise, and the USAF ordered it into production in 1953. Production was delayed due to Chase Aircraft being acquired by Kaiser, who in turn sold the design to Fairchild Aircraft, who would produce it as the C-123B Provider.
The C-123 was considered a supplemental aircraft to the C-119 Flying Boxcar already in service and the soon-to-be-deployed C-130 Hercules. It had better single-engine performance than the C-119, and acquired a reputation for reliability, rugged design, simple maintenance, and the ability to land almost anywhere. A small number were converted to C-123J standard, with ski landing gear for operations in Antarctica and Greenland, and experiments were even made to convert it to an amphibian. Nevertheless, the number of C-123s in service were small compared to other types, and the C-130 began replacing it beginning in 1958.
As the United States involved itself more in the Vietnam War, one major advantage of its Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army adversaries was the very jungle of Vietnam itself, which provided ready-made cover and camouflage from American air units. In an attempt to deprive the VC/NVA of jungle cover in known concentration areas, the USAF converted a number of C-123s to UC-123 standard, with spraying equipment for the pesticide Agent Orange. Under Operation Ranch Hand, UC-123s were among the first USAF aircraft deployed to Vietnam, and the first USAF aircraft lost in combat was a UC-123B. Spraying Agent Orange was very dangerous work, as it involved flying low and slow over hostile territory; it would not be until after the Vietnam War was over that it was learned that Agent Orange, used in the concentrated quantity employed in Vietnam, was also a deadly carcinogenic.
Besides their controversial employment as defoilant sprayers, standard C-123s were used as transports and Candlestick flareships, as the C-130 demand was exceeding supply, and the US Army’s CV-2 (later C-8) Caribous were proving the worth of a short-takeoff and landing transport. To improve the Provider’s performance in the “hot and high” conditions of Vietnam, two J85 turbojets were added beneath the wings of the C-123K variant, which became the final Provider variant and the main type used in Vietnam. CIA-flown Providers were used by Air America to clandestinely supply friendly Hmong tribes in Laos and in Cambodia. 54 C-123s were lost in Vietnam, second only to the C-130.
Following the end of American involvement in Vietnam, the C-123Ks were either handed over to South Vietnam or relegated to USAF Reserve and Air National Guard units, from which they were finally withdrawn around 1980. A few UC-123Ks were used to spray insecticides in Alaska and Guam as late as 1982. 11 other air forces used Providers, and the last C-123s were retired from the South Korean Air Force in 2001. 27 are preserved as museum pieces and a few remain in revenue service as “bush” aircraft in Alaska and elsewhere; remaining aircraft in storage were scrapped due to Agent Orange contamination.
Quite possibly the most famous C-123 left, "Patches" was delivered to the USAF as 56-4362 to the 60th Troop Carrier Wing based in Europe. In 1963, it became one of the first USAF aircraft sent to South Vietnam and was converted into a UC-123B defoliant aircraft with Operation Ranch Hand; when Ranch Hand operations were suspended in 1968, it switched to spraying insecticides under Operation Flyswatter. "Patches" did not leave Vietnam until 1972, having earned its name: it had been hit over 600 times by enemy small arms fire during Ranch Hand and Flyswatter operations, and seven of its various crewmembers had been wounded. Most of its time was spent with the 315th Air Commando Wing at Phan Rang.
Following its Vietnam service, "Patches" served with a few USAF Reserve units, finishing up with the 439th Tactical Airlift Wing at Westover AFB, Massachusetts. Because of its combat record, when the 439th began to deactivate in the early 1980s, "Patches" was saved and flown to the National Museum of the USAF. It was restored to the way it would have looked at the beginning of the Vietnam War, before the C-123 fleet was camouflaged and remained in bare metal.
Today, "Patches" sits in the Southeast Asia gallery at the NMUSAF, with its nose art and Purple Heart markings restored. There was some concern that it would have to be scrapped in the late 1990s, as the airframe was found to be heavily contaminated with Agent Orange, but a way was found to clean the aircraft. Having read about "Patches" in college, it was an interesting experience seeing it up close in May 2017.

Provider Grill opens at new location
CAMP HUMPHREYS – The Provider Grill opened at its new location on June 4.
The 194th Combat Sustainment Support Battalion will continue to operate the Provider Grill at its new location, Building 1291. The dining facility had previously been the Red Dragon Inn and was operated by the 719th Military Intelligence Battalion.
Cake and ribbon cuttings were held to celebrate the occasion, and the 501st Sustainment Brigade Commander, Col. Darrell Duckworth, served as guest speaker.
“If you have ever had the opportunity to dine in a facility as excellent as the Red Dragon Inn, or the old Provider Grill, then you know what a special day this is, not just for the 194th CSSB, but for all of USAG Humphreys,” Duckworth said. “It is with great pride that the 501st Sustainment Brigade, together with the 501st Military Intelligence Brigade, have been able to renovate and transfer this consolidated dining facility. I congratulate all those who have contributed to this achievement. The opening of Provider Grill is indeed a day for celebration.”
Duckworth noted that the day marks a further strengthening of the ties between the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI.
“Today we recognize the opening of the new Provider Grill, signifying a bond between the Soldiers of the 194th CSSB and the 719th MI Battalion,” he said.
“I have all the confidence that the 194th Provider Battalion’s leadership will maintain and uphold the standard of nutrition, service and dedication previously demonstrated throughout the history of both the Provider Grill and the Red Dragon Inn. Both dining facilities have a long history of excellence. They have won awards such as the best decorated dining facility, best theme and originality, best culinary arts display and garnishments and best small dining facility. And it’s all supported by professional food service Soldiers and Korean culinary chefs.”
Duckworth noted the impact the dining facility will have on Humphreys.
“The Provider Grill will feed and nourish more than 800 Soldiers daily, with selections across all food groups,” he said.
“Holidays have been known as a specialty for this dining facility and will continue to remain so under the leadership of the Provider Battalion. With the combining of the Red Dragon Inn and Provider Grill staffs, this dining facility will be taking on a new dynamic, with almost twice as many Soldiers to support.”
Duckworth also touched on the vital role cooks play.
“The Army’s food supply specialists are some of the hardest working Soldiers in our Army today. Generally, they are the first one awake and the last one to go home,” he said. “For them, there is no such thing as the weekend. They still have a responsibility to supply and serve meals on Saturdays and Sundays. Every leader in this great Army knows the importance of chow and how it directly affects the morale of our great Soldiers.”
David Duffie, USAG Humphreys food program manager, talked about the preparation involved in the DFAC transition.
“We did a lot of corresponding with the units with regard to changing of the signs and décor items like table cloths, window shades, chair covers and DFAC account changes,” he said.
Mark Cox, United States Army Garrison Humphreys deputy commander, expressed his high expectations for the Provider Grill.
"At its new location, the Provider Grill will be filling a vital function on post and it is up to the task,” he said. “The 194th's leadership and Soldiers can be counted on to deliver delicious, nutritious meals in a vibrant setting. They have won a long line of awards and we look forward to that level of service continuing.”
