Getting the most out of the last summer days

August in Washington is arguably the best time of year, especially for those who love to be

outside in our great state. In this issue, you’ll find page after page of fun options and great programs that’ll take you through the end of summer and well into fall.

With help from Family and MWR, you can plan your last summer hurrah — choose from water-centered options, discount tickets and outdoor recreation opportunities on page 12. Plus, turn to page 6 for details on our outside eateries so you can take full advantage of long summer days.

And, of course, it’s time to start thinking about getting back to school. Find out about childcare options, youth programs and upcom-ing events beginning on page 14. Then find all the information you need for your educational pursuits with the JBLM libraries on page 29.

Getting in shape is never out of season, so turn to page 26 for details on the Bodybuilding Championship, free yoga classes and more.

After you’ve visited one of our facilities or attended a special event, take a few minutes to share your thoughts with me at http://ice.disa.mil.

Summer’s short, and we all know we need to grab every

bit of sun while it lasts. Instead of eating lunch or

dinner indoors, why not take it outside and take in the scenery?

Many MWR eateries have near-by decks and patios just waiting for customers to come use them.

The Warrior Zone at Lewis North sports the biggest outdoor eating space. Even if the weather’s not perfect, you can eat in comfort on a covered patio. During August, lunch is being served outside every Wednesday. Have a quiet conversation or bring the whole office — there’s room enough for everyone.

The Bistro at Russell Landing at Lewis North boasts the most scenic al fresco dining at JBLM on its lakeshore patio. The patio furniture is comfortable and stylish with an Italian-style flair. Most customers like to watch the boats dock and depart from the marina next door, or take photos of the bald eagles that come out for dinner on the lake and perch in nearby trees.

At McChord, step out onto Habañero Mexican Grill’s deck overlooking the putting greens at Whispering Firs Golf Course. Several tables grace the deck for a more intimate feel.

You also can find garden-style seat-ing when you step down into the glass atrium that lines the backside of the restaurant overlooking the 18th hole.

At Lewis Main, find shaded picnic tables at the AFC Commons when you order a meal at either AFC Arena’s Bat-tle Bean coffee and grill or the Strike Zone Café at Bowl Arena Lanes.

Cascade Community Center also has several picnic-style benches outside the building if you prefer to eat in the sun.

Want to make lunchtime picnic fun stretch into the afternoon? Discover even more picnic areas when you travel to Holiday Park at McChord Field or along the shores of American Lake at Shoreline Park.

Holiday Park not only has plenty of

space for picnicking, it also has a play-ground that children can climb, slide and swing on.

Shoreline Park not only has a play-ground, but is open for wading and swimming through Labor Day.

For directions or more information to eateries and MWR-managed parks, visit JBLMmwr.com and look in the drop-down menus.

What are you doing for your last hurrah of summer?

If you don’t want to get out and explore this glorious region during August or on Labor Day weekend, then you’ve either seen it all or you have a yard-long“honey-do”list.

But if you’re thinking of getting out to play (and we hope you are), we’ll help inspire you.

Imagine kites soaring at an ocean beach. The tangy taste of salt water splashing from your paddle. A crack-ling campfire. State park trails misted by pristine waterfalls. A park picnic overlooking the Puget Sound. Ultra-fresh mountain air.

Okay, now you’re getting the picture.The Northwest Adventure Center and

Adventures Unlimited, your exclusive recreation outfitters, can help you gear up for the time of your life.

Rent recreational gear for a day or a week, from picnic and game essentials to fully loaded weekend getaways.

Some popular rentals can be reserved ahead of time and some are first-come, first-served, so be first in line before all the boats, camper trailers, kayaks, canoes, grills, canopies and folding chairs and tables are gone or reserved for Labor Day weekend.

For detailed pricing and rental infor-mation, visit our website at JBLMmwr.com and look at the equipment rentals brochures for either location.

Want to talk to an outdoor rec expert in person about where to go or what to bring? Drop in anytime (the sooner, the better) and let us take you idea-shopping.

JBLM teens lead, learn and make a difference

Two JBLM youth recently traveled to the Youth Leadership Forum at Fort Leonard Wood, Mo. Selected by their peers, Theo Montgomery and Christian Ward worked with youth from around the world to help make the Army a better organization.

Through the youth AFAP process, the teens discussed and prioritized issues of con-cern that were raised by youth at regional garrisons. Together, youth at the forum se-lected four issues of the highest importance, coming up with solutions to the problems to present to the Secretary of State.

The event is a great learning experi-enceandopportunityforyouthandstaffto network, says Emmy Niemczyk, Teen Zone manager who accompanied the youth on the trip.

“Youth are pushed out of their comfort zone to dig deep and find the leader inside of them,” she says.

“This was the best week of my life! I met new friends, I got to have fun and my voice was heard to make the Army better for Families all across the country!” enthused Montgomery. For information about submitting issues for the AFAP conference at JBLM, turn to page 18.

Thanks to the Close Up Washington, D.C. program,18JBLMyouthvisitedthenation’s capitol for a four-day leadership mentoring camp, getting a firsthand look at the political process.

“The camp trained the kids how to hold a mock-congressional session,” said Charissa Lizama, McChord Youth Center manager and one of the chaperones on the trip. “Three of our youth were espe-cially interested in the political process.”

In addition to the mock session, se-lected youth were able to attend a real Congressional session. All youth took educational tours of all area monuments, the Smithsonian and war memorials.

Close Up Washington, D.C. is an an-nual program, and this is the first year that Boys and Girls Club of America has brought the opportunity to JBLM youth, says Lizama.

elp improve the quality of life at JBLM and around the military. Submit issues and concerns to the Armed Forces Action Plan office — go online and submit your issues by Saturday, Sept. 1 for them to be in-cluded in the annual installation AFAP Conference in October.

What is AFAP?AFAP is a grassroots process used to

identify the most significant quality of life issues impacting Service members, retirees, civilian employees and Fami-lies, which are then elevated to senior leaders for action. Leadership uses the information to effect changes that improve the standards of living and support programs to help foster a satis-fied, informed and resilient military

community.AFAP is a year-round process that

begins at the installation or unit level. It’s the preeminent means for com-manders at all levels to learn of and seek solutions to the concerns of their communities.

Changes on the horizonAFAP issues have been responsible

for hundreds of legislative, regulatory and policy changes involving the mili-tary and geared toward improving the quality of life and enhancing readiness and retention. Examples include pay increases, dental benefits, TRICARE reform, life insurance and housing al-lowances.

The local AFAP process is made up of delegates from across the installa-

tion. Every issue is reviewed, moni-tored and tracked until a resolution is found. About 90 percent of the issues are retained and worked at a local level, while those issues beyond the scope of JBLM are forwarded to a higher level of authority.

AFAP issues may take as long as two years to resolve, depending on the issue. Issues are reviewed every six months until resolution by the Gen-eral Officer Steering Committee. The purpose of the review is to ensure issues don’t become stagnant. There’s no set time to resolve an AFAP issue.

Submitting your issueThere’s no limit to the type of issue

that can be submitted to the AFAP of-fice for consideration. Some suggested

GET FIT WITH BIRGIT FREE

Name: Birgit FreeTitle: Volunteer yoga instructorTeaching experience: One yearFitness philosophy: Free says,

“I think physical fitness and mental fitness are connected.

Birgit Free has been teaching at JBLM for little more than a year, but she’s no stranger to our aerobics program — she started taking yoga in November 2006 after walking into the gym for the very first time.

“It was the hardest thing, but I immediately liked

yoga and from there on, I knew that once I got myself to the gym and into a class, that I’d be good no matter how I felt,” says Free.

Prior to trying yoga, her only source of activity was walking or hiking. After participating in yoga, she noticed that she wasn’t very flexible, had poor balance and was sore until her body adapted and became stronger.

Noticing her passion for yoga, I discussed with a co-worker that she had what to takes to become an instructor.

Initially, Free disagreed; however, when that same co-worker left last year, Free was called upon to teach or face the possibility of canceling classes. Free took the opportunity and soon blossomed into a wonderful yoga instructor.

You’ll often hear her telling others of how yoga has helped her both physically and

mentally through some of her toughest times. She’s learned to modify many of the poses she demonstrates to accommodate her patrons’ abilities, giving each one the best possible workout.

During class, she tries to keep people’s attention on how their movements feel and reminds them to breathe. She’ll tell you that no matter what state of mind she’s in at the beginning of a class, she’s always relaxed, calm and energized afterward.

In addition to teaching yoga, Free takes full advantage of the elliptical trainer and stationary cycles to get in some much-needed cardiovascular work. However, she’ll be the first to admit that cardio training is her weak spot.

“Find something that you love to do and don’t be intimidated if it seems difficult at first. It takes time to get used to things. Know when to stop and when to challenge yourself,” says Free.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of attending a free yoga class, come and experiencewhatFreehastooffer.Ifyogaisn’tyourstyle,weofferotherclassesthatyou may find very rewarding. Be sure to check out our schedule at JBLMmwr.com for the latest schedule.

TS What do bond ratings mean?Q:It’s important to understand that a bond is essentially a loan investors make to the entity that issues it. Whoever issued the bond agrees to pay a certain amount of interest according to a pre-set schedule and commits

to repaying the loan on a certain date. Investors purchase bonds based on these fac-tors. Bond ratings are a third party’s assessment of a bond indicating credit quality and theabilityofthebondissuertopayoffthedebtontime.Bondratingsweredevelopedto help investors understand the relative risk involved. The most widely traded bonds are rated by at least one of the major agencies in the field such as Moody’s Investment Service, Fitch or Standard & Poor’s. These agencies track the financial condition of issu-ers and update ratings as necessary. Investment grade ratings include bonds ordinarily bought by individuals and institutional investors seeking stable income and safety. Bonds with low ratings cover speculative territory, which means they have a higher risk of defaulting. They are usually referred to as junk bonds.

A:

ith the current volatility of the stock markets, it’s dif-

ficult to find a safe place to invest while preserving principal. Some conservative investment options that hold their value include U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, Inflation-linked savings bonds, short-term bond funds and bank certificates of deposit. Let’s look at these conservative investment options:

Treasury Inflation Protected SecuritiesTIPS provide a guaranteed hedge

against inflation. The interest rates are very low, but the goal with TIPS is for the principal to increase with inflation and decrease with deflation, as mea-sured by the Consumer Price Index. In other words, it preserves your capital. The principal amount of TIPS is ad-justed semi-annually to keep pace with inflation. A fixed rate of interest is paid on the adjusted principal; however, they are very tax inefficient unless held in a tax-deferred account such as an IRA. The inflation adjustments are treated as income each year, even though an in-vestor doesn’t actually receive the cash from these adjustments until maturity.

Inflation-linked savings bondsI-Bonds are low-risk savings vehicles

designed to guarantee a real rate of return regardless of the markets or deflation by adjusting their rate every

six months to track the changes in the level of inflation measured by the CPI. I-Bonds are backed by the U.S. gov-ernment and can’t lose value; they’re frequently chosen over municipal or corporate bonds, as they’re more tax-friendly since the interest can be deferred until you redeem the bonds.

Short-term bond fundsHigh quality corporate, municipal or

government bonds are the traditional place to invest money if you’re looking for stability. The idea is to earn a better return without taking on too much ad-ditional risk of capital loss. A short-term bond fund holds bonds with maturities of less than five years. Interest earned is paid monthly in the form of dividends. Investors seeking safety will want to look for funds that hold bonds with the highest credit ratings indicating pay-ments are unlikely to be defaulted on.

Bank certificates of depositBank CDs are similar to savings ac-

counts in that they may be insured by

the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora-

tion if the bank is an FDIC member. The

main difference from a savings account

is that a CD has a specific, fixed term

and usually a fixed interest rate. CDs

don’t offer protection against rising

interest rates, so it may be worth stay-

ing with shorter terms. However, in

exchange for keeping your money on de-

posit for a longer term, financial institu-

tions usually grant higher interest rates.

When choosing any investment prod-

uct, it’s very important to understand the

product and the risks involved. For more
