CAMP HUMPHREYS Afterquick response by personnel here incontaining a leak of about 30,000gallons of JP-8 fuel from a brokenunderground pipe, cleanup efforts areunderway and progressing well.

The leak occurred Feb. 27 at about9:10 a.m. from an underground line thatmoves fuel from a storage area to ahelicopter refuel point on the Camp

Humphreys airfield. It was detected asworkers started transferring fuel. Theystopped the fuel transfer operation andresponded to the leak.

The cause of the leak is underinvestigation.

Our first priority was containmentof the spill, which has beenaccomplished, said Bart Mirabal, whoheads the Area III Directorate of PublicWorks. We are presently performingfuel recovery and cleanup, and are

continuing to assess the extent of damageand determine whether to repair or replacethe underground fuel line.

Mirabal said that fuel is confined to asmall area on Camp Humphreys near theairfield. There is no impact on the drinkingwater supplies at Camp Humphreys.

Republic of Korea Ministry of Environment and local Pyeongtaek environmental officials were notified of the leak the day it occurred and havevisited the site.

The Pyeongtaek City EnvironmentalOffice conducted a visual survey off the installation, and confirmed that therewere no signs of fuel, said Mirabal.We will continue to cooperate withKorean government officials and keepthem informed of our progress.

To contain the spill, the camp firedepartment placed absorbent mats intoa drainage ditch, along with a boom to

DAGMAR NORTH Elements of a major U.S.Army support unit underwent intense evaluationsFeb. 22-29 as part of an annual exercise.

My Soldiers need to know how to defendthemselves when pumping fuel, said Col. BetteWashington, commander of the 501st Corps SupportGroup. They need to defend themselves whilerunning convoys or issuing rations. Thats what wedo for a living.

The 501st Corps Support Group is made up of more than 1,000 U.S. and Korean Augmentation tothe U.S. Army Soldiers.

Services like issuing rations and supplies, runningtransportation missions, providing field laundries andshowers, and even processing fresh drinking water;

all fall under the units mission.The unit is spread out over many bases in South

Korea. Two companies are stationed at Camp Kylein Uijeongbu, there is a company at Camp Humphreysin Pyeongtaek, and various elements are stationed inthe Seoul area. The entire group deployed to trainingareas in the Western Corridor for the exercise.

It was perfect, gorgeous weather. Then onSaturday the sky opened up, Washington said. Itis a slush bowl.

The mud, more than a foot deep in some places,hampered operations. Tent stakes slid out of theground. Soldiers scrambled in a cold wind to function SeeMudMudMudMudMud on Page 16

under extreme conditions as the banks of the Imjin Riverswelled with rainwater.

In an open field on Dagmar North, a Republic of Korea Army training site, the American troops attemptedto recover from the hand dealt by the weather.

This area is all messed up, said Spc. BenjaminAmparo, 305th Quartermaster Company. The tentskeep falling down, so were moving it to a better area.

Amparo revved the accelerator on his forklift loadedwith camouflage netting. The tires spun in the mud andbarely got traction. Soon, the equipment was moved todrier ground.

Throughout the exercise, in addition to doing their

normal missions, Soldiers were given scenarios, likereact to enemy fire, respond to a chemical attack orconduct a vehicle recovery.

Actually, its been pretty good so far, said Spc.Josue Oreus, 305th Quartermaster Company. Werebeen able to train on how quickly we react toattacks.

Oreus agreed the mud was a challenge, But,were working with it, he said.

The mud came, said Pfc. Jennifer Schmidt,305th Quartermaster Company, but, were notletting it get us down.

WASHINGTON Basic and advanced individual trainingwill be in addition to the number of years a new recruit enlists

for under a new Force Stabilization initiative.There are 19 jobs, mainly combat-arm specialties, that fallunder the recently implemented Variable Enlistment Lengthprogram. Under VEL, Soldiers can enlist for three- to five-year VEL options. After arriving at their first units, they arestabilized for at least three years. Since its implementation inDecember 2003 more than 2,000 Soldiers have enlisted underVEL.

A smaller number of troops have enlisted under thecongressionally-mandated 15-month pilot program, NationalCall to Service. Since it was approved Oct. 1, about 125Soldiers have enlisted in the Army under the program. Similarlyto VEL, the program doesnt include training as part of thetime-in-service contract and only a limited number of specialtiesfall under it.

National Call to Service was adopted by each of the otherservices. The 15-month pilot program coincides with VELbecause they both kicked off about the same time, said Lt.Col. Harry Garner, chief of Enlisted Accessions Division. Theyboth keep initial-term Soldiers stabilized at their first duty

stations, but the National Call to Service is not a part of theArmys stabilization plans, Garner said.

The mission of Force Stabilization is to provide ready,deployable, combat forces, and to do that units have to first

be manned, said Col. Michael Harris, the deputy director of Directorate of Military Personnel Policy, G1. However, VELisnt just about manning units, its also about stabilizingSoldiers, he said, referring to the fact that Soldiers underVEL would stay at their first unit for at least three years.

Most units operational cycles are on a 36-month schedule.Before VEL, many Soldiers already enlisted for only 36months, but their initial-entry training took from threemonths to a year. So when they arrived at their unit, theywere not there for a full 36 months.

The 2nd Cavalry Regiment is a combat unit, which iswhy Human Resources Command selected specialties suchas infantry, cannon crewmember and cavalry scout, Garnersaid. Some of the non-combat-arms jobs that fall under VELare human resources specialist, 42A; administrationspecialist, 42L; and supply specialist, 92Y.

The Soldiers who fall under the selected job specialtieswill initially be assigned to the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, FortPolk, La., which is scheduled to begin converting to aStryker Brigade Combat Team in October.

Reggies restaurants are only withinDepartment of Defense activities, andare similar in concept to stateside casualdining restaurants such as Bennigansand TGIF, said officials. TheDepartment of the Army CommunityFamily Support Center has overallresponsibility for implementation of thefacility design and menu items.

I hope all Soldiers and members of the community can enjoy the fine foodand many unique entrees provided atReggies, and the entertainmentprograms throughout the club, saidRichard Shuman, general manger of theMain Post Club. We hope this facilitywill give our customers a bit of theirhometown without having to leave theinstallation.

Col. Timothy K. McNulty, Area IIand 34th Support Group commander,delivered opening remarks to the manycommunity residents who came out forthe ceremony.

The day is now here and we areabout to embark upon a fine diningexperience, said McNulty. Theopening of Reggies is the second phaseof a three-phase, $3.7 millionrenovation of the Main Post Club.

We completed phase one with theNovember 2003 opening of the UptownLounge and, the total renovation of theUnderground, scheduled for Junethrough September, will finalize thisimportant quality of life project, addedMcNulty. With the reopening of theUnderground, the Main Post Club willbe one of the best Morale, Welfare andRecreation club facilities in the Army.

One of the many benefits of serving in the U.S. armedforces is expedited naturalization.

Generally, before applying for citizenship, one must have

been a lawful permanent resident of the United States for atleast five years before filing with no single absence from theUnited States for more than a year. There are two exceptionsunder the Immigration and Naturalization Act that allowservicemembers to expedite the process and gain citizenship:naturalization based upon service during military hostilities, andnaturalization based upon three years honorable service.Service During Military Hostilities

This is the only basis for naturalization that does notrequire admission as a lawful permanent resident. TheImmigration and Nationality Act authorizes the president todesignate service during periods of military hostilities as thebasis for naturalization. On July 3, 2002, President Bushsigned an executive order making the war against terroristsof global reach a specified period of hostilities for thepurposes of expedited naturalization.

Servicemembers, active duty or Reservist, serving onactive duty after Nov. 11, 2001, may apply for expeditednaturalization, provided they meet other eligibilityrequirements set forth by the Immigration and NaturalizationService.

A requirement for naturalization based upon service duringmilitary hostilities is that if the applicant is not a lawfulpermanent resident, the applicant must have enlisted or re-enlisted in the United States or its territories or possessions,

or onboard a public vessel owned or operated by the UnitedStates for noncommercial service.

This is important because enlisting from Korea meansservicemembers do not qualify under this exception.

Other requirements include good moral character, pass acivics and language test, and take the oath of allegiance to the

United States.Three Years Honorable ServiceLawful permanent resident status is required. An applicant

need not comply with the strict residency and physical presencerequirements for naturalization if the applicant has servedhonorably in the armed forces, including the Reserves, for threeyears or more and files during his service or within six monthsof discharge. If the application for naturalization is filed morethan six months after discharge, the applicant may count hishonorable service time occurring within five years of filing fornaturalization in order to meet the residency requirement fornaturalization.

A list of the steps for becoming a naturalized citizen underthe expedited procedures is available at the Yongsan LegalAssistance Office. Servicemembers wanting further informationon naturalization and citizenship related issues, or who have any

personal legal issue to discuss with an attorney, may contactarea servicing Legal Assistance Offices in Area I, 730-1889;Area II, 738-6841; Area III, 753-8053; or Area IV, 768-7693.

Legal assistance services are available to active dutyservicemembers, Department of Defense civilians, familymembers, Reservists who have been ordered onto active dutyfor more than 29 days, and some contractors. Legal AssistanceOffices can provide information and basic legal servicesregarding many issues.

family members are not residing in thesame general vicinity as theservicemembers. It is intended to coverexpenses incurred because of forcedseparation. The period of separation mustbe at least 30 days.

The first month after arrival to Korea,it is imperative that servicemembers check their LESes to ensure they are receivingproper entitlements. Servicemembersshould immediately notify their unitcommanders or their unit Personneloffices in the event of discrepancies ontheir LESes or if there are changes infamily situation that could effectentitlements. Changes include marriage,divorce, leave or change in residence.

18th Medical Command

YONGSAN U.S. Forces Koreaofficials have been pursuing aggressivelythe recall of certain frozen ground beef products for the past 10 days. The U.S.forces population has been notifiedthrough a variety of methods, to includethe chain of command, AmericanForces Network public serviceannouncements and signs incommissaries.

This recall was initiated due to anE. coli food-borne disease outbreak that caused diarrhea in three Japanesechildren in one family in Okinawa. Thepotential for serious disease to anyonewho consumes contaminated beef thatis not properly cooked prompted theaggressive approach taken by U.S.

Forces Korea officials.Officials are particularly concerned

because the type of E. coli that causedthis outbreak in Okinawa isnt the typicalE. coli associated with just diarrhea. Thistype of E. coli can progress fromcausing diarrhea to causing kidneydamage and even death. Diarrhea willtypically start 48 to 96 hours afterconsumption of the disease agent.

Even though the product from therecall date has been eaten by otherconsumers in Okinawa and possiblyhere in Korea, there has been no furtheroutbreak of the disease beyond theoriginal three cases in Okinawa.

USFK health officials stress thathamburgers and other meat foodsshould be served well done. Propercooking destroys E. coli, as well as otherpotential food-borne disease agents.

If that hamburger is still a little pink,it should be put back on the grill to finishcooking to provide you that additionalsafety assurance, said Lt. Col. BobWalters, 106th Medical Detachment.

Consumers may contact their localcommissary meat market personnel toassist in identifying whether the productis from the suspect lot (see sidebar). If there is any doubt that the product is

from the suspect lot, consumers

USFK recalls ground beef productsshould err on the side of caution anddestroy it or return the product to theplace of purchase for a refund.

Anyone experiencing diarrheashould consult local healthcareproviders immediately for prompttreatment, USFK medical officialsadvise.

USFK officials will continue tomonitor the frozen ground beef recallover the next few weeks in order toensure the health of the commandmembers and their families. Updateswill be provided through commandchannels and public serviceannouncements as the need arises.

This has been a good example of many people from a number of diverseorganizations quickly coming together

to get a tough job done. Despite ourbest efforts to prevent events like thisfrom happening, they do occasionallyhappen. Our team has as done a great

job minimizing negative impacts andenabling the operational mission tocontinue, said Paul Stuart, civilianexecutive assistant to the Area IIIcommander.

This recall was initiated because of an E. coli

food-borne disease outbreak that caused diarrheain three Japanese children in one family inOkinawa, Japan.

The product associated with this outbreak wasfrozen ground beef produced by Richwood MeatCo. from California and was sold through USFKoutlets. This product may have been labeledas Richwood Meat Co., California PacificAssociates, SYSCO, Chefs Pride Brand,Golbon, DANCO Quality Foods, ColumbusFoodservice or Ritz Food Service.

There are two important pieces of informationon packages that consumers should check forto see if they have this product in their homes.

Inside the USDA label is a plant establishmentnumber. If that number is 8234 then thefrozen hamburger may be subject to recall.

The second identification number is thepackaging date. The affected product was allpacked on Aug. 11, 2003, or 11-08-03. Boththe plant number, 8234, and the packing date,Aug. 11, 2003, must be present on the packageto positively identify the product as comingfrom the affected lot.

If in doubt or to answer questions, contact Lt.Col. Bob Walters at 738-3232 or commissarymeat market personnel.

CAMP RED CLOUD A member of the Area Istaff preached about difficulties and inequalities, andabout the past and about the future Feb. 25. And thecongregation said amen.

The site was Camp RedClouds commissary, not achurch. The occasion wasthe Black History Monthprogram and Lt. Col. CarlPrioleau, Area I executiveofficer, reflected on thehistory of African-Americans.

Black historyobservances began 78years ago by Dr. Carter G.Woodson, an African-American historian andscholar, who founded the Association for the Studyof Negro Life and History. Woodson chose the secondweek of February because it commemorates thebirthdays of two men, who to a great extent, affected

the African-American community: Abraham Lincolnand Frederick Douglas. In 1976, the weeklongobservance was expanded to a month in honor of thenations bicentennial.

In 2004 the theme is Brown v. Board of Education,which commemorates the landmark Supreme Court

decision to desegregate public schools, Prioleau said.All of us can learn from the special programs andactivities conducted nationwide because black historyis American history.

For each human being there is a past, present andfuture. Wrapped up in every human being is the geneticcoating that passes on yesterday into today. So, aswe celebrate Black History Month, it not only servesas a reminder of the past, rather, a framework for thepresent and a road map for things to come, Prioleausaid.

Our nation has been shaped by the uniquecontributions of black Americans, and today, we sharethe pride of these courageous men and women whochallenged every American to live up to the best ideasof our country: freedom, equality and justice, he said.Individuals like Frederick Douglas, Dr. Charles Drew,Lt. Henry Flipper, Colin Powell, Althea Gibson andWilma Rudolph are remembered.

There are others who made significantcontributions to black society that one doesnt hearmuch about: William Purvis, of Philadelphia, whoinvented and patented improvements to the fountainpen in 1890; Frederick M. Jones, who invented airconditioning; W.H. Richardson, for the baby buggy;and Henry T. Sampson, who invented the cellularphone.

So you see, we are all surrounded by African-American history every single day, Prioleau said.But, it all goes back to the fact we are one people,

CAMP CASEY Civic leaders fromDongducheon and Camp Casey gatheredfor a friendship dinner Feb. 27 at theWarriors Club. The event recognizedparticipants in the Adopt-a-Schoolprogram.

The program sends U.S. and KoreanAugmentation to the U.S. Army Soldiersas volunteers to local Dongducheonelementary schools to help teach thestudents English, said Pae Tong-su,community relations officer for U.S.Army Garrison, Camp Casey.

Lt. Col. Stephen Murray, commanderof USAG, Camp Casey, hosted the dinnerto recognize and thank the Soldiervolunteer teachers, and to promote andwork to expand the Good NeighborProgram, he explained.

The main guest speaker was RheeMyung-sook, chief of education forDongducheon City, said Pae.

one body with many different talents and abilities.More than 36 million U.S. residents are African-

American or African-American in combination withone or more other races. This group makes up 12.9percent of the total population, and 2.6 millionAfrican-Americans have served their countrythrough military service.

We live in a world filled with a wondrousdiversity of experiences, opinions, physicalappearances, cultures, religion and others, he said.It is not necessary for us to agree on all things,but it is necessary for us to respect one another.

One of the challenges of this age is not only tofind a way to live in harmony with people who differfrom us, but to celebrate the diversity and learnfrom it. We can only learn a limited amount fromthose who are like us, but there is a fortune of knowledge to be gained from those who have adifferent perspective from our own.

Black History Month challenges us to unitetogether as one, he said. And, it is because of thesacrifices of those who have gone before us thatAfrican-Americans can be judged by the contentof their character, and not the color of their skin.Sure, we are not totally there yet, and maybe wewill never be a colorblind society, but we must keepon dreaming. Keep the dream alive. Keep hopealive.

Rhee began by thanking the Soldiersfor being away from their families andcountry to defend the Republic of Korea.

Today, we gather here toconsolidate the United States and Korean

alliance and open a debate relating toelementary school English educationsupport, she continued.

Foreign language educations maingoal is fluent communication. Byspeaking with natives face to face, (thestudents) will gain confidence with thelanguage. It is a fact we cannot useeffectively what we know in front of anative speaker. Therefore, if we haveface to face education, the impact willbe great, Rhee said.

At the same time, we can exchangeeach others culture along with thelanguage, and we can learn the way of life as a world citizen, she added.

A discussion of how the programcould be improved followed, after whichtwo Soldiers and three KATUSA Soldierswere awarded certificates of appreciation for their volunteer serviceto Dongducheon Elementary School lastfalls session. Two representatives from

CAMP FALLING WATER Question: This Soldier rolls out of bedat 4 a.m. almost every day. An hourlater, she is ready to talk to 20,000people. Who is she?

Answer: Warrior Radios morningshow host, Pfc. Samantha Spurlock.

Its a good job, Spurlock said. Ilike it because I feel like Im actuallydoing something for people in WarriorCountry.

Spurlock arrived in Korea in August2003, fresh from advanced individualtraining at Fort Meade, Md. The DefenseInformation School trains Soldiers,sailors, airmen and Marines for careersin public affairs specialties like

broadcasting.Warrior radio broadcasts on 88.3 and88.5 FM throughout Area I. A live radioshow airs 5-10 a.m. weekdays from aQuonset hut studio at Camp FallingWater in Uijeongbu.

When the staff is not spinning tuneslive, computers insert the stationspreproduced messages over a signalfrom Seoul.

Spurlock said she knows people arelistening when her show starts at 5 a.m.because she gets a lot of telephone callsin the studio.

They say we have a big variety of music, Spurlock said. They say I getthem pumped up for the day. Some sayIm the only show they listen to.

The audience in Warrior Country hasa choice, with a couple of stationsbroadcasting in English. Because of

nearby Seoul, 20 miles to the south, AFNKorea, on 102.7 FM broadcasts, a livemorning show, which reaches manyparts of Area I.

We ask our audience to tune in 88.3or 88.5 FM, said Staff Sgt. ChristopherSeaton, the station commander.Because people in Warrior Countrywant to know whats going on inWarrior Country, and theyre not gettingthat on 102.7.

Warrior Radio, the most dangerousstation in the world, as staff memberscall themselves, is not just a radio station.

We have our morning radio show,Seaton said, and the point is to get outall the local command information wecan.

Also, Seaton said they have thetelevision mission to produce news

reports and command informationmessages.Basically, were here to tell the story

of the 2nd Infantry Division and AreaI, Seaton said.

Seaton explained how they get theinformation they broadcast.

Most people use their public affairsoffice, Seaton said. That way they canbe sure their information goes where itneeds to go.

Public affairs offices funnelinformation to AFN, the commandersaccess channel and area newspapers;however, Seaton said customers cancontact AFN directly to get informationon radio and television by calling 732-9454.

To the audience, they hear Spurlock on the air for five hours and may wonderhow a Soldier can have such a job.

WWWWWarrior Radio offers morning fun, informationarrior Radio offers morning fun, informationarrior Radio offers morning fun, informationarrior Radio offers morning fun, informationarrior Radio offers morning fun, informationWe work pretty hard, Seaton said.

Its not just being on the radio for fivehours and waiting around for the nextradio shift.

Seaton said once Spurlock comes off the air, she puts together all thecommercials listeners hear on the radio.

She also produces the content forcommunity calendars you see ontelevision and writes the material usedby AFN disc jockeys, he said.

Nine Soldiers and one Koreanemployee form the staff of AFN at CampFalling Water.

Seaton explained he has maintenancetechnicians and broadcast journalists toaccomplish their large mission.

The affiliate station also broadcastslive sporting events, news programs andcountry and oldies music on Thunder

AM. In Warrior Country there are manyfrequencies:! Uijeongbu - 1161 AM! Paju and Munsan - 1140 AM! Camp Casey - 1197 AM! Camp Page - 1440 AMSeaton said his news crews are

always on the move. He said, on theaverage his reporters travel an hour to astory location, conduct interviews andshoot video, then return to the stationto edit and send the news piece to AFNKorea in Seoul.

Theres enough going on that itnever goes away, Seaton said. If wedidnt go home, wed be working.

For more information on radio andtelevision schedules, Seaton said the unithas a Web site at afnkorea.com.

CAMP CASEY It is tax season once again, butArea I Soldiers do not need to worry: the 2nd InfantryDivision and Area I Tax Center is open and ready forbusiness.

Brig. Gen. John F. Shortal, an assistant division

commander for the 2nd Infantry Division, presidedover a ribbon-cutting ceremony at building T-44 Feb.18.

The tax centers staff of 20 Soldiers from aroundthe 2nd Infantry Division is trained in tax preparationand usually can complete average federal and statereturns in 15 20 minutes, said Staff Sgt. DouglasKelly, the noncommissioned officer in charge.

Theyre coming out with new programs that make

Wecan do it on the spot.

Filing tax returns with the tax center comes atno cost to Soldiers, Kelly said.

While do-it-yourself tax return services areavailable online, they usually cost about $60 inpreparation and filing fees, Kelly said.

Multiply that number, plus additional expenses,by the 6,700 servicemembers, retirees, dependentsand Department of the Army civilians the tax centerhelped last year, and official estimate how muchmoney the program saved more than $500,000 inArea I alone.

We really encourage Soldiers to come downhere, Kelly said, because this is money theyreentitled to, and we get it to them free of charge.

The tax center, which can handle about 100returns a day, sees clients either as walk-ins or byappointment, Kelly said.

Soldiers who e-file their return to the IRS canusually expect to see their return in one to two weeks,Kelly said.

Before heading to the Tax Center, make sure youhave your W-2 form, and any Form 1099 InterestStatements. If you have a child, officials advise tobring proof of a childs Social Security Number,preferably last years tax return.

The tax center is located adjacent to the helipadand next door to the Army and Air Force ExchangeService snack bar. The centers hours are 9 a.m. 7p.m Tuesday to Friday and 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday.

CAMP RED CLOUD ArmyCommunity Services holds newcomersorientation the last Wednesday of eachmonth at the Camp Red Cloud ACSclassroom. An orientation was held Feb.25.

The newcomers orientation is towelcome people who are new to Area Iand the 2nd Infantry Division, saidChristy Allen, ACS social servicesrepresentative at Camp Red Cloud.. Itsto let people know what services areavailable to them in the area.

The day began with a welcome fromLt. Col. Brian Vines, commander of theU.S. Army Garrison, CRC.

In his remarks, Vines introducedhimself and offered some advice for theSoldiers stay in Korea.

The two things I emphasize are thethings you should not do, and the thingsyou should do while youre here, hesaid.

The main things Vines advised soldiersto avoid are supporting humantrafficking, and excessive drinking andthe trouble that can go along with it. Heencouraged Soldiers to experience theculture, use Morale, Welfare andRecreation facilities and enjoy Koreawhile they are in the country.

After Vines remarks, representatives

from different post services gave thenewcomers a series of short briefingsabout what each service had to offerSoldiers. The legal office, MWR, the firedepartment, Better Opportunities forSingle and Unaccompanied Soldiers, andthe USO were among those servicesrepresented, Allen said.

Sgt. 1st Class Travis Tate, Area Ilogistics noncommissioned officer incharge, has been in Korea for about twoweeks and was one of the newcomersat Februarys orientation. He said hefound the briefings very informative.

All the briefings were great, and youactually wanted to listen to them, Tatesaid.

Servicemembers enjoy a traditional Korean meal as part of the Army Community Services newcomers orientation. People-to-People, an organization dedicated to preserving Korean-American friendships, provided the lunch and introduced the attendees to Korean culture.

The briefings finished at noon. Thenewcomers then headed to a Koreanrestaurant in downtown Uijeongbu forlunch. At the restaurant, the Soldiers saton the floor in traditional Korean stylearound a long, low table laden with Koreandishes, including bulgogi and kimchi.

The local Korean chapter of People-to-People International hosts the monthlylunch. People-to-People is a nonprofitorganization founded by President DwightD. Eisenhower in 1956 to enhanceinternational understanding and friendshipthrough educational, cultural andhumanitarian activities involving theexchange of ideas and experiences directlyamong peoples of different countries anddiverse cultures, according to its Web site,www.ptpi.org.

Allen believes it is important forSoldiers to understand local customs.

We try to give newcomers a brief introduction to Korean culture, Allen said.Thats why we take them to a Koreanrestaurant they get introduced to Koreaneating styles, Korean food and eating withchopsticks.

Id like to commend the partnershipbetween the garrison and People-to-People, Vines said. Through theirdonations, were able to give the soldiersa traditional Korean lunch.

Tate said this was his first time eatingin a Korean restaurant. He enjoyed the foodand learning the customs. It was hisfavorite part of the orientation, he said.

After lunch, the newcomers went tothe Uijeongbu train station. Publictransportation is the key to getting out andseeing Korea, said John Kang, the ACSbicultural coordinator and orientationguide.

The majority of Koreans use publictransportation, so its important forSoldiers to learn to use it, too, he said.

After a brief tour and explanation of how to use the trains and subways, thenewcomers continued on to anamphitheater where a traditional Koreanmask dance is performed in the springand summer. It was too cold for theoutdoor performance this month, soinstead the dancers invited the Soldiersinside the practice studio, where they gavelessons on performing the dance.

Seo Seung-kook, one of theperformers, explained the history of thedance and the masks they wear. Beforeeach performance, the dancers make theirown masks out of papier-mch. Thenthe masks are painted using pigmentsmade from ground natural substances,such as stone, leaves and bark, he said.

Traditionally, the masks are burned aftereach performance.

After their dance lesson, the Soldierswere each allowed to paint masks of theirown to take home.

Although the orientation ended there,the knowledge and skills the soldierslearned will stay with them throughouttheir tour here, said Allen. She encouragesall newcomers, both civilian and military,to attend.

If youre new in the area, you shoulddefinitely come, she said. If you areinterested, just call us up or come by andwell reserve you a spot.

Everyone should come on this trip. Itwas a great experience, said Tate, addingthat it was the best experience Ive hadin Korea thus far.

YONGSAN In commemorationof National Engineers Week, Feb. 22-28, the Far East District U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers hosted an EngineersCareer Day Feb. 26 at the SeoulAmerican High School auditorium.

Students from John Malones physicsclass, Evelyn Heaths chemistry class,and Debra Beckhams algebra II classgot a chance to experience what itwould be like becoming an engineer.

There were eight different stationswith various topics, includingenvironmental engineering,geotechnical engineering andarchitectural engineering. Each stationhad posters, tools and a presenter foreach table.

Our goal today is to expose highschool students, especially minorities

SAHS students explore engineering at career dayand females to consider engineering asa career, said James Sauceda, chief of geotechnical section. Hopefullythis presentation encouraged them tobecome engineers. We need moreengineers in the world.

The eight stations were threedimensional computer aides drafting,geographical information system and

surveying instruments, environmentalengineering, engineering division,geology and geophysics, AmericanKorean architecture and engineeringInc., Society of American MilitaryEngineers , and SAHS Engineering Club.

SAHS students were particularlyinterested in the environmentalengineering station. They learned aboutwhat uniforms are worn for certainenvironmental situations, such aschemical spills. They also got a chanceto observe what asbestos looks like inits solid form. Asbestos is either of

two incombustible, chemical-resistant,fibrous mineral forms of impuremagnesium silicate, and is used forfireproofing, electrical insulation,building materials, brake linings orchemical filters.

I am proud my organizationbrought us here to SAHS, said ChrisVaia, environmental engineer technician.

My command felt it was important thatwe present to the student body. Wewant students to become educatedabout their environment because theywill be living in the future.Environmental engineers are coolbecause they identify a problem,investigate a problem and solve theproblem.

Not all the presenters were U.S.Army Corps of Engineers. There werefour SAHS students who alsorepresented an engineering station. WillParker and Alex Kim gave out pamphlets

and represented the adolescents of SAME. Jesse Thompson and BettsWhite are part of the Engineering Clubat SAHS. They had several creationsincluding a catapult and a motorizedwindmill.

The engineering camp I attendedwas absolutely awesome. SAME paidfor all expenses and all I had to do was

enjoy and learn, said senior Alex Kim.I advise all underclassmen to hurryand apply to either the camp at PortHueneme, Calif., or at the Air ForceAcademy.

Environmental engineering is agrowth field. I encourage my studentsto major in this field because the worldneeds more environmental engineers,said Kurt Camerud, scienceenvironmental teacher. We need moreright now. You will be guaranteed a

job if you become an environmentalengineer.

YONGSAN Cooking, especiallywhen it involves cooking oil, is theleading cause of fires in residences.While kitchen fires seldom kill people,they injure thousands, and causeproperty damage in the millions of dollars each year.

In Area II, there have been sixcooking related fires in familyhousing units and bachelor quartersin the past 60 days. All were causedby unattended cooking.

Unattended cooking is a commonmistake. People begin cooking a mealand somehow become distracted withother things. The kids, a telephonecall, a knock at the door, running to

the store for a short trip, or a favoritetelevision program can easily distractsomeone away from the kitchen.

Another factor that could lead tofires in military quarters is cookingwhile intoxicated and subsequentlyfalling asleep. Last year there weretwo fires in bachelor quarterssuspected to be alcohol related.

It only takes a few seconds for anunattended pan of cooking oil toignite and set fire to everythingadjacent to it.

Three types of fires may occurwhile cooking. One type of kitchenfire is dry cooking. This type of fireusually happens when warming orcooking foods such as rice,vegetables, fruits or leftover s in a panon the stovetop. When leftunattended, the water and moistureboils away and the food dries andscorches. Usually no great amount of fire damage will occur, but lots of smoke that will leave a residue andodor throughout the house. Getting

Unattended cooking causes Area II housing firesrid of the smoke stench can beexpensive. Normally turning off theheating element, and with an ovenmitten, moving the pan slowly to acool element is all that is required.Depending on the proximity of othercombustibles, the heat can ignitesurrounding items and escalate into amajor fire with significant damage.

Another type of cooking fire is theoven fire. Oven fires normally resultfrom baking or broiling greasy foods.Foods that make contact with theheating element can also cause thistype of fire. Fires in ovens usuallyremain in the cooking chamber,designed to contain the heat. With theoven door closed, and the heat turnedoff, this type of fire will normally self extinguish. However, occasionally

grease accumulation in the ovencauses the fire to continue burningeven after the appliance is off. Theheat from the burning oven maytransfer to adjacent cabinets causingthem to scorch, and sometimesignite. Keep the oven door closed, callthe fire department immediately, andbe prepared to use a fire extinguisherif necessary.

By far the most common and mostdangerous type of cooking fire is thecooking oil fire. These fires occurwhen cooking oil or greasy foods, leftunattended, heat to ignition. Clean oilthat does not have excess food fat init is very hard to ignite. Many firesactually start when the food fataerates and bubbles over the side of the pan and touches the flames orburner causing it to ignite. It isrecommended that cooking oil bechanged when it becomes loaded withfood fats.

Grease fires usually cause a greatdeal of damage in a short amount of

time. Flames from the burning pan of grease quickly extend to thesurrounding cabinets and othercombustibles in the area. If leftunchecked, this fire can extend to otherrooms and become a major house fire.

The simplest way to extinguish agrease fire is to place a lid over thepan and turn the heating element off.The fire will quickly suffocate. If alid is not available, immediately use aportable fire extinguisher. If theflames are too great, do not risk injury, evacuate to safety and call thefire department.

Never attempt to put water on agrease fire. Water added to hot greasewill dramatically increase the size of the fire, and result in serious burns.

Never attempt to carry a flaming

pan of hot grease or oil out of thehouse. It will be too hot to carry,increasing the chance that it could bedropped and spread the firethroughout the residence.

No matter where the fire occurs,it is essential to know what to do. Inall cases, life safety should be the f irstconsideration. Make sure all personsevacuate to a safe location. Call thefire department. If the fire is stillsmall, attempt to extinguish it with aportable fire extinguisher. It onlytakes a few seconds to turn a greatmeal into a disaster.

More information about residentialfire safety is available by calling theYongsan Fire Prevention Office at738-7900. To report an on base firefrom on base dial 117 or 911. Toreport a fire from Hannam Village dial0505-738-0117. For an off-baseresidence, call the local Koreanemergency number, 119, or 0505-738-0117 if assistance is required intranslation from English to Korean.

Nutrition from Page 9basic roadmap, but pay close attentionto what counts as a serving. Trying tosqueeze five or more servings of fruitsand vegetables into one days meals mayseem like a huge amount, but its reallynot. A 6-ounce glass of 100-percent

juice at breakfast is one serving.Sprinkle one-fourth cup raisins on awhole grain cereal like oatmeal, thatstwo servings. A one-cup serving of vegetable soup for lunch takes you tothree. An afternoon snack of babycarrots is four. And, just one-half cupof cooked vegetables with dinnerbrings you to five! Measure servingsin the beginning, if needed, until youhave a firm idea of exactly what a one-

half cup serving of cooked vegetables,or three ounces of meat or one-half-cup serving of cooked cereal, rice orpasta looks like.

Once you have a handle on servingsize and a clear understanding of all thecomponents that make up a healthfuldiet, even good food-bad foodthinkers will understand theres a place

for nearly all foods in a well-balanceddiet. Junk-food and fast-food junkieswill see how an entire days allotmentfor calories, fats and sweets can beexceeded with just one fast-food mealor super-sized treat. Those high-sugar,high-fat and high-calorie favorites canstill be on the menu, but only as raretreats, not as daily fare. Low-fat andno-fat subscribers will see that a certainamount of fat in the diet is necessary.Up to 30 percent of total calorie intakeis the recommended amount, withsaturated fats accounting for no morethan about 10 percent of the total fatallowance. And strict low-carb dieterswill realize they are missing the

important vitamins, minerals and fibersupplied by fruits and vegetables andwhole grain breads, cereals and pastasbecause these foods also containcarbohydrates. Its a smart choice toinclude as many of these foods aspossible, by focusing on those with thelowest carbohydrate content.

Plan a weeks worth of healthful

menus using your newly acquirednutrition knowledge and write out adetailed shopping list. Arrive at thecommissary well rested and well fed.Youre more likely to reach for high-calorie, high-fat or high-sodiumconvenience foods when youre tiredand more tempted by empty caloriesweet treats when youre hungry. Stick to your list as closely as possible, buttry to take advantage of sale items.Choose the most nutritious buys bytaking the time to read nutrition labelscarefully.

Youll leave the checkout counterwith grocery bags packed to the brimwith nutritious, delicious foods. And

because youre shopping in thecommissary, youll have it all at anaverage savings of 30 percent. What agreat sense of satisfaction! Its a routineto repeat not just during NationalNutrition Month, but every monththroughout the year!
