Carlton Everhart II, 18th Air Force com- mander, his wife Michele and Chief Master Sgt. Robert Rodewald, 18th AF command chief, visited Airmen, families and civilians from the 437th Airlift Wing, Jan. 8-9, 2015, at Joint Base Charleston, S.C. To get a first-hand view of JB Charleston's unique mission, Everhart was given a mission overview from the 437th Airlift Wing, the 315th Airlift Wing and the 628th Air Base Wing leadership. However, the key reason for his visit was to inter- act with the Airmen of the 437th AW who work to provide precise, reliable airlift worldwide every day. "This is my opportunity to personally see and hear from the Airmen," Everhart said. "I also get to recognize the accom- plishments of some incredi- ble Airmen and civilians." At one point during his visit, Everhart sat down for breakfast with a group of Airmen to hear what was on their minds, and in return, gave them words of advice, wisdom and encouragement. "The best part of any visit is when I get to talk face-to- face with Airmen," Everhart said. "We are a collaborative team. They're out there accomplishing a difficult mis- sion and I want to know what I can do to help. I need to understand what is on their minds so I may advocate for them. Everhart cited the partnership between the three wings at JB Charleston as the foun- dation of accomplish- ing the mission in an outstanding manner. "Charleston has a fantastic relationship between the 437th AW, the 628th ABW, the 315th AW, the Naval component and the Army component, and seeing how the base runs the mobility requirement is outstanding," Everhart said. The general invited Airmen and civilians from the 437th AW to an all-call during which he thanked them for their commitment to serving their country, talked about the future of the 18th Air Force and discussed his command priorities. "The mission of the 18th Air Force is not going to change," Everhart said. "We will always be prepared to the utmost of our ability to answer our nation's call, no matter where it is globally." He also discussed some of the issues the Air Force is facing today. "Certainly, one of the biggest challenges the Air Force faces today is how we, as a service, continue to provide combat-ready Airmen and platforms to face an uncertain, rapidly-changing environment," Everhart said. "Our Airmen can't be afraid to think outside the box and they must be bold enough to take the steps nec- essary to make change. Most importantly: make every dollar count. Let's ensure that every dollar we spend is a dollar of added value to the taxpayers." At the end of his stay, Everhart reflected on his impressions of the Airmen who call Joint Base Charleston home. "I'd like to say thank you to our Total Force mobility Airmen and families for their dedication to delivering our country's rapid global mobility, day in and day out," Everhart said. "I talked to many Airmen during this trip and I've tried to empha- size to them the Air Force cannot do its job without them."

By Col. John Lamontagne437th Airlift Wing commander

After arriving at Joint Base Charleston this summer, I outlined three prioritiesfor the 437th: "Mission! Airmen! Fun!" As we often use New Year's resolutionsas an opportunity to reflect on where we are and where we would like to go, Ihope these priorities also offer you a guide for creating this year's resolutions.What resolutions will you make this year? Whether you choose to use these

priorities or not, I challenge you to make a difference by pursuing your goalsthroughout the entire year and not losing enthusiasm after the first month.I challenge you to rededicate your efforts to the mission. Get back to the

basics and ensure you are doing everything according to the T.O.'s and AFI's;take the extra moment to ensure everything is technically correct before mov-ing on! Each of us can always strive to be a better leader, follower, teammate,and even better doer. Even the smallest change can make a big impact, includ-ing the attitude you bring to work or simply making the job of your super-visee/supervisor a little easier. A small, consistent effort can make a huge dif-ference.Challenge yourself to refocus on your fellow Airmen and your families. It

is important for all of us to foster lifestyles that promote balance: spendingquality time with family and friends can help accomplish this goal. Family

oftentimes provides the foundation forpersonal and professional success. Astrong family bond can make a worldof difference across multiple domainsin your life. I encourage each of you tomake a special effort to reach out toyour fellow Airmen without families inthe local area because together; we arean Air Force family.Lastly, I want you to have some fun.

It is easy to let hobbies and leisurelyactivities fall by the wayside, especiallywith how hectic life can seem. Findsome time to take part in these activi-ties. It is very important that you utilizethese opportunities to decompress andenjoy some well-deserved time off.This year will inevitably bring unforeseen challenges that will test your res-

olutions. Always remember, that just a little extra effort or focus in any ofthese areas can have a huge effect on your career, family, and lifestyle.Best of luck with your resolutions as we begin another great year!

Be a mentor for a rewarding, life-changing experienceBy Col. James Hurley315th Mission Support Group commander

Winston Churchill said, "We make a living by what we get, we make alife by what we give." For those of you who are, or have been a mentor,you understand the meaning of these words. I can still remember my first day, late in December 1982, at my first duty

assignment in the 342nd Missile Security Squadron, Malmstrom Air ForceBase, Mont. I had reported in and was standing at parade rest in front of mysquadron commander's desk. The captain welcomed me to the squadron,gave me a very brief outline of his expectations and my duties, then impart-ed to me this advice, "Go find a good NCO, become his shadow, pick hisbrain and learn everything he knows, because that NCO will teach youwhat you need to know to be a successful officer." He was right.Master Sgt. Ed Keeney, my flight chief, became my mentor. Ed was my

teacher, coach, biggest critic and biggest fan. I watched, listened andlearned. He watched, listened and would oftentimes pull me aside and pro-vide feedback on my performance. I learned many lessons at the knee ofEd Keeney, but the one that continues to have the biggest impact on medealt with mentorship. We didn't call it mentorship back then, but that'swhat it was. Ed used to continually admonish me to not focus on my owncareer but to identify the best performers within my unit and guide (mentor)them. So that's what I have done.Mentoring others is not only critically important to the health and suc-

cess of an organization, it's rewarding. Over the years I have mentoredmany Airmen -- enlisted and officer -- and the greatest enjoyment I haveexperienced is watching one of my mentees succeed. One famous writersaid, "A true measure of your worth includes all the benefits others havegained from your success." How true!The Air Force has a mentoring program. It's outlined in AFMAN 36-

2643 and defines mentorship as "a relationship in which a person of greaterexperience and wisdom guides another person to develop both personallyand professionally." The instruction contains good information, it has lotsof do's and don'ts, expectation and guidelines, all of which are important.However, what it doesn't talk about is that mentoring is more than just oneperson giving information to another, in my opinion, to be a truly effectivementor you have to legitimately care for and value the person you are men-toring. Ed Keeney cared for me, and I for him. He wanted me to be suc-cessful and lead Airmen in the manner he thought they should be lead. I would encourage every person who reads this short commentary to

consider taking on a mentee. If you are not at that stage of your personaland professional development yet, then make it a future milestone. If youare a seasoned Airman -- officer or enlisted -- look around you, I promisethere are individuals who would benefit from your guidance. All Airmen,enlisted and officer, need mentoring and should mentor others. One of mymentees called me last week and related to me how he was mentoring ayoung person in his organization; all I could do was smile. Mentoring is arewarding and life changing experience, so do it!

A New Year, New Resolutions

By Master Sgt. Kristy Beaudoin437th Maintenance Operations Squadron

Have you ever given an inappropriate hand ges-ture to someone who just cut your vehicle off intraffic? Well, "Road-rage" or aggressive driving,is considered a ticketable offense. To prevent kneejerk responses, we must have the ability to self-manage and control our emotions and to be self-aware. By doing this, we are using emotional intel-ligence. According to Dr. Peter Salovery at Yale

University, emotional intelligence covers a rangeof abilities including self-management, throughself-awareness, social skills, self-confidence,empathy and emotional control even in the tough-est situations (stress management).In addition, emotional intelligence, when cou-

pled with leadership, can assist in making levelheaded decisions, guiding people in the right direc-tion, solving problems and communicating moreeffectively. In other words, emotional intelligencecan be adapted to improve work environments,

family life and you guessed it: Leadership!Many resources available on the web refer to

emotional intelligence as EI or EQ, and certifica-tions in this field of study are available. As aleader, it is important to improve EI/EQ, to facili-tate/improve level-headed decision making skills.The book, "Go Suck a Lemon" by Dr. Michael

Cornwall discusses improving your EI/EQ andcontains strategies on preventing knee jerkresponses to emotions. In the book, Dr. Cornwallelaborates on the importance of identifying andmanaging different triggers and chains tied to emo-tions. Dr. Goleman provides many examples in thebook, such as [...if you are angry you are less likelyto express forgiveness or sadness without firststopping and changing your thinking ...]. In otherwords, this would be where Dr. Cornwall wouldsuggest the individual should suck a lemon, but bychanging thought processes, you will taste cinna-mon, and thus improve EI/EQ.Dr. Cornwall also asserts many emotions can be

reshaped, analyzed, and brought down to a moremanageable emotional state. To do this, Dr.

Cornwall proposes methods to control thoughtsand behaviors, thereby resulting in better control ofknee jerk responses, leading to more fact-basedobservations. In other words, our emotions give usanother source of thinking. Level-headed cogni-tive skills are improved when reactions to emo-tions are controlled.According Harvard Business Press contributor,

Dr. Daniel Goleman, we have "Human Moments,"which are when we make connections throughbeing intelligent in the heart of emotions. We areable to do this because we are paying full attentionto, and are fully in-tuned with the boosted range ofabilities that emotional intelligence brings to theplate. Pulling this all together, emotions are what con-

nect us to each other, gives us the drive to succeedand should even give pause for thought. Knowyour triggers and chains, and how to manage andguide them. In doing so, you will better able tonavigate social interaction because you'll have ahandle on your emotional quotient as you project aprofessional demeanor.

No more knee jerk responses

By Capt. David Liapis92nd Air Refueling Wing Public Affairs

FAIRCHILD AIR FORCE BASE, Wash. – Itsside effects can range from confusion to inducedsprinting for cover, to feelings of pride. It has thepower to stop people in their tracks and causes self-induced paralysis for nearly two minutes at a time.Reveille and Retreat ceremonies occur on most

military installations across the U.S. at the begin-ning and the end of the duty day, typically 7 a.m.and 5 p.m. Some include playing the ceremonialmusic over the installation public address system.While it's easy to follow commands given while

in the vicinity of the flag pole, what about whileacross base at the running track or while drivingdown the road on base? The general rule is to ceaseall activities and render honors when the music isplayed (unless you're taking an Air Force fitnessassessment or it would otherwise cause a safetyhazard).While some reading this might be thinking,

"well, duh!" there is a reason for this commentary.It seems that many people have forgotten their cus-toms and courtesies or choose to ignore what to dowhen the music is played. In spite of some vehiclesstopping and people standing still and saluting,some people don't clue into the fact something is

happening that requires their attention. This igno-rance, willful or not, bothers me and many othermilitary members.I spent two years in Turkey, where the only U.S.

flags I saw were either the one in front of the wingheadquarters building on base, the one at the U.S.embassy, or the ones being burned by protesters.The sweet sound of the Star Spangled Banner rangthrough the air only once a year at this base. I cantell you this, that once-a-year treat sent chills downmy spine and brought tears to my eyes. To quote anold song, "you don't know whatyou've got 'til it's gone."Our flag is special and

deserves our respect. It flies allover our great land remindingus of the freedoms we love. It'scarried into battle to inspirethose willing to fight for it. Itdrapes over the caskets of ourfallen heroes who gave their allfor it.Remember the above reasons

next time the music starts andyou're tempted to keep driving,run into the nearest building orduck into your vehicle. Takeadvantage of that minute or two

while standing and showing honor to the flag andthink about those who have defended it and thosewho still defend it. Rather than turning up the radioand pretending to ignore the music so you don't gettwo minutes behind schedule, stop and roll downyour window and think of how privileged you areto live in this great nation. So, since I'm already quoting song lyrics, how

about "it's time we stop, hey what's that sound..."next time you realize "it's five o'clock somewhere."

Remember: It's 1700 somewhere

When Lt. Gen. William Bender, Air ForceChief of Information Dominance and Chief ofInformation Officer, announced the winnersof the 2014 Air Force Information Dominanceawards, a Joint Base Charleston Airmanfound her name on the short list.Senior Airman Jennie Short, 628th

Communications Squadron knowledge opera-tor, was selected out of more than 1,770 otherdeserving Airmen to be named the Air Force'sOutstanding Knowledge OperationsManagement Airman of the Year.The Air Force Knowledge Operations

Management recognized information domi-nance by Air Force officers, enlisted, federalcivilian employees, teams and units for sus-tained superior performance while providingdominance and cyberspace support to AirForce and Department of Defense missionsand operations."This award belongs to more than me,"

said Short, a native of Bozeman, Mont."Because without the programs offered, or myamazing team and the wonderful customers Iwork with, I wouldn't be where I am."According to Short, the award itself isn't

the most rewarding thing. The best part of herjob is simply the job itself, and the people sheworks with, in and out of the office."It's rewarding for me to see my efforts rec-

ognized," said Short. "However, my leader-

ship is very supportive and recognizes myefforts throughout the year. Their mentorshipand encouragement is very motivational."According to Maj. Chris Landwehr, 628th

Communications Squadron commander, theaward is well deserved."Senior Airman Short has a passion for

what she does," said Landwehr. "Airmen ofthe 628th Communications Squadron areextremely proud she has been recognized forher outstanding service. She is proactive, herpositive can-do attitude is contagious and shepersonifies the Air Force Core Values."According to Short, the secret to her suc-

cess is no secret at all."I take pride in my job, regardless of

whether anybody notices," said Short. "That'sbecause it's not about winning awards, it'sabout having pride in what you do. Sticking tothe Air Force's core values is the best advice Icould give anyone."In addition to having integrity, service

before self and excellence in all she does,Short's other tip for her peers is maintaining apositive attitude.According to her leadership, her attitude

and outlook on professionalism just touchesthe surface of how deserving she is.

"The recognition is well deserved and cap-tures all of the great work and exceptionalsupport her and her team accomplish on a reg-ular basis for Joint Base Charleston and ourmission partners," said Landwehr.

From Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs

WASHINGTON – Air Force officials announced inDecember there is no longer a need to conduct involuntaryforce management programs for fiscal year 2015 following ayear of significant reductions designed to meet the DefenseDepartment strategic and budgetary guidance.Officials confirmed that fiscal year 2014 goals were

achieved to size and shape the force, eliminating the previous-ly anticipated requirement to conduct a second round of invol-untary programs in fiscal year 2015."My travels and discussion with Airmen this past year have

convinced me that enough is enough," said Secretary of the Air

Force Deborah Lee James. "Therefore, we will not have addi-tional, involuntary boards in FY15."Targeted fiscal year 2015 voluntary programs, with eligibil-

ity limited by both grade and Air Force specialty codes, will beoffered to help properly shape the force. These non-monetaryopportunities are part of the normal steady-state force manage-ment programs used annually to size and shape the forceaccording to mandated end strength.Voluntary programs will include waivers of some active-duty

service commitments (ADSC), reductions of required time ingrade for retirements, and reductions from 10 to eight years ofcommissioned service for retirements, allowing prior enlisted offi-cers to retire with eight years of commissioned time versus 10.

The Palace Chase program will still be in place, but theexpanded option of a one-for-one transfer will not be availablethis year. Specific details on voluntary programs will bereleased in early 2015."I'm really pleased we'll be able to offer our dedicated

Airmen a break this year," said Air Force Chief of Staff Gen.Mark A. Welsh III. "Throughout this difficult process we com-mitted to providing information to our Airmen and familiesearly so they could make decisions. Announcing the FY15 pro-grams now continues that commitment and provides some ofthe stability Airmen truly deserve."For more information on force management and other per-

sonnel programs, visit the myPers.

The result of the review was an update to Navy's hairstylepolicies to provide clearer guidance on what is and isn'tallowed. The updated policies authorize a slightly broaderrange of acceptable hairstyles, while continuing to emphasizethe need for a neat and professional appearance. The Navy's review and new standards take into account the

wide range and textures of hair, including curled, wavy andstraight hair. The new regulations provide guidance on hairstyles, hair coloring, wigs, and hair accessories for women.Highlights of the changes and guidelines include:- Hairstyles must allow for the proper fit of headgear and not

interfere with the proper wear of protective masks or equipment.

- When in uniform, hair may touch, but not fall below ahorizontal line level with the lower edge of the back of thecollar. With service dress jumper uniforms, hair may extend amaximum of 1 1/2 inches below the top of the jumper collar.- Layered hairstyles are authorized, provided that the layers

present a smooth graduated appearance. No portion of thebulk of the hair (except the bun) as measured from the scalpwill exceed 2 inches. - The bulk of the bun shall not exceed 3 inches from scalp.

The diameter of the bun will not exceed 4 inches. Loose endsmust be tucked-in and secured. Buns must not protrudethrough the opening in the back of a ball cap. - Angled hairstyles may not exceed 1 1/2 inches difference

in length from front to back.

- All hairstyles must minimize scalp exposure. - Two strand braids (a type of twist) are authorized. Braided

hairstyles shall be conservative and conform to the groomingstandard guidelines. The updated policy in its entirety can be found by visitinghttp://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/support/uniforms/

uniformregulations/chapter2/pages/2201personalappear-ance.aspxThe Navy took to heart suggestions that grooming standard

resources (pictures, websites, guidance) needed a facelift. Tobetter inform Sailors and leadership, Defense Media Activitycreated a smart-device-compatible hair viewer that providesphotographic examples of authorized hairstyles. Visithttp://www.navy.mil/ah_online/um/femalehair.html

Updated hair policies outlined for Navy Women

By Amaani LyleDepartment of Defense News

WASHINGTON – Unless Congress changes the BudgetControl Act, which now requires a return to sequestration-level spending cuts in 2016, the military will need to changeits strategy, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said in aninterview broadcast Jan. 11, 2015.In an appearance on "Fox News Sunday With Chris

Wallace," Army Gen. Martin Dempsey said the Army is draw-ing down from 570,000 soldiers to 450,000, but he noted thata Pentagon analysis shows sequestration would drive that

number to 420,000, and even lower under some circum-stances.Sequestration would leave the military "far less able to do

the things that we think the country needs us to do," Dempseysaid.Meanwhile, the United States continues to face threats

from both state actors and nonstate actors, the chairmanadded. Though he's concerned about that, he noted the UnitedStates is still the most powerful nation in the world by anymeasure, and is likely to remain so – "unless we talk ourselvesout of it and legislate ourselves out of it with things like theBudget Control Act."

Thinking Our Way Through the Future"What will get us through this is investing in our human

capital," Dempsey said, "because we're going to have to thinkour way through the future, not bludgeon our way through it."Dempsey also touched on the cyber domain, noting that the

United States does not enjoy the same significant militaryadvantages in that domain that it has in others.A cyberattack can be disruptive, he said, and also could be

destructive to hardware and critical infrastructure. "We don'thave an advantage – it's a level playing field," he said. "Andthat makes this chairman very uncomfortable."

Chairman: Sequestration cuts would require strategy change

EASTOVER, S.C. – After more than a decade of serving in combat together, variousbranches of service and components continuously look for ways to sustain and further developtheir interoperability and relationships. For Soldiers in the South Carolina Army NationalGuard, drill weekend, Jan. 10, 2015, was an ideal opportunity to work with Airmen from JointBase Charleston at McEntire Joint National Guard Base, Eastover, S.C.The joint training event was to practice loading a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter for trans-

port into a Joint Base Charleston C-17 Globemaster III for air transport."The last time the majority of our Soldiers loaded one of our helicopters into a cargo aircraft

was in 2008 for deployment to Iraq," said 1st Sgt. Kenneth Caldwell, Company A, 1-111thAviation Battalion, S.C. Army National Guard. "We have many young Soldiers who havenever had a chance to see how this works."An Air Force Reserve team from the 701st Airlift Squadron, 315th Airlift Wing, Joint Base

Charleston, S.C., flew their C-17 to McEntire Joint National Guard Base for their drill weekendto execute the air transport training with the South Carolina Army National Guard.

Master Sgt. Eric Walker, a loadmaster with the 315th AirliftControl Flight at Joint Base Charleston, said the training wentvery well and they hope the two units can train more in thefuture."There are lots of areas where we can help and be creative

with training opportunities," said Walker. "Sometimes the firststep is just asking the question, can it be done?""Training like this is important because we can identify

issues now, so if have to load for long distance deploymentsand can't self-deploy, our Soldiers will know how it is done,"said Caldwell.The morning included a safety brief, a loadmaster overview

of what would take place, preparations for the UH-60 BlackHawk to be pushed onto the C17 ramp using a small tow andthen carefully guiding it on the ramp.The goal was to load one helicopter nose first, and the other

one tail first to demonstrate to the teams how each is config-ured when secured on the Globemaster III. After one of theBlack Hawks was loaded, the C-17 pilots took the Soldiers fora short takeoff and landing so they could see how cargo issecured and have the experience of being in a large cargo air-craft with their Black Hawk.Caldwell added the training was equally valuable to him,

because he recently returned from a state partnership engage-ment in Colombia, where he assisted the Colombian militarypractice air load their helicopters onto a cargo aircraft too."There are many skills that are a part of the air load, to

include folding the blades, removing antennae and hazardousmaterials certification," Caldwell added."The importance of this training is simply doing what you

plan for real and seeing if the results are what you expected,"said Lt. Col. Ron Schier, 701st AS and aircraft commander."This weekend we were able to find a few areas that needimprovement and when it comes time to employ this trainingoperationally this training will be to credit for a successfulmission."

GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. – In the Air Force culture, physical fitness isbeing pushed more and more each day. It is considered a vital pillar to Comprehensive AirmanFitness. With it playing such a huge role in an Airman's life and career, it makes sense thatAirmen are reaching out to different resources to improve their personal fitness. In an effort tobetter themselves, many Airmen are delving into the supplement world head-first.It is important to understand that while supplements say that they will make you "stronger,"

"faster," and "healthier," there's no real scientific evidence that they actually do."There's no real scientific research on these supplements," said Leah Melquist, the Health

and Wellness Center health promotion manager at Grand Forks Air Force Base, N.D. "Anyonecan make supplements, and they never go through the Food and Drug Administration."One of the most popular supplements that is often overlooked is the energy drink. Not many

people think of energy drinks as supplements, but anything that completes or enhances some-thing else when added to it is a supplement by definition."Energy drinks are considered supplements, and they are not recommended," said Melquist.

"They are loaded with too much caffeine for even a healthy heart."Although, that's not to say that you have to cut them out completely. It's important to remember

to drink them in moderation, and be sure to space out how often they are consumed, said Melquist.How can an Airman be informed when making decisions about choosing supplements then?The first step to making an informed decision would be to talk to your healthcare provider."Always talk to your doctor before trying a new supplement," said Melquist. "When people

with undiagnosed heart conditions take supplements that accelerate their heart rate, it can belethal. It's also important to let your doctor know what else you're taking so you can understandhow the different drugs will interact together."Another way to stay educated is to use online resources such as the Natural Medicines

Comprehensive Database (http://www.naturaldatabase.com) and the Office of DietarySupplements (http://ods.od.nih.gov). The DoD has even created a website named HumanPerformance Research Center (http://hprc-online.org), that was designed to guide servicemembers to make healthy, informed decisions about the supplements they choose. On the DoDwebsite, service members can learn which supplements are banned by the DoD and which sup-plements the DoD considers safe.Since supplements do not have to undergo tests by the FDA, the consumers are considered

the testing agents."We are essentially human guinea pigs for supplements because they are not regulated or

tested before they hit the shelf," said Melquist.This is why the third way to research supplements is by reading reviews on the internet and

knowing which brands are popular and trusted."I read reviews on the internet and different websites by people who have used the supple-

ment," said Airman Dakota Stantz, 69th Maintenance Squadron aircraft structural maintenanceapprentice. "I read how people have reacted to the supplement and how it has helped them."Stantz has been taking a protein supplement and amino acids off and on for the past six

years. The supplements he uses are to help him gain weight in muscle mass and maintain itlonger than he would be able to without the supplements.Another supplement user, Senior Airman Abel Trejo, 319th Logistics Readiness Squadron

fuels journeyman, said he also recommends reading reviews before trying a new product."I read reviews on products and the nutrition facts," said Trejo. "Don't just take something

because someone tells you to."When considering choosing a supplement, it's important to remember that they are not regulat-

ed, and the nutrition label doesn't always list every ingredient in the product. Researching brandsand using well-known brands, taking only the recommended serving size and looking for third-party testing labels on supplements helps to ensure that the product in question is safe for use.Also, whether you're looking to gain weight or lose weight, always remember that no sup-

plement is more important than food. Most ingredients in supplements actually come fromfood. It is possible to research supplements and find that some foods work in the same way andare also cheaper than the product in question. For instance, green tea and green tea extract canhelp boost a person's metabolism as well as energy without the harmful side effects that weightloss stimulants can pose on one's heart.Although he might not be an expert, experts probably will agree with Airman Justin House,

319th Civil Engineer Squadron firefighter apprentice, when he says that food trumps all."Food is the best supplement you can take," said House. "There are a lot of unsafe supple-

ments out there, and anything more than food and protein is probably unnecessary."

When I see the temperature in the teenshere in Charleston, with wind chills approach-ing zero, it is a shock to the system and apainful experience being outside. I immediately look to the forecast for some

sort of warmer, brighter days ahead. You can-not help but start to hope for some better days,knowing that they will eventually come. It is that hope for a brighter time ahead that

helps us respond to what might be somepainful times that we can face. The hope evenof a better tomorrow can help us through a dif-ficult today, or a difficult season in our lives. When it is cold we reach for something to

put on to warm us, to help us cope. In the sameway during a difficult season of life, reach outto resources to help you cope. Perhaps yourfaith, significant relationships, a book or lifeteaching can help restore your hope as youawait brighter days ahead.

Cold? Hope for better times
