Ritual of Love: the timing belt by: William D. Corlew, III Attention ladies and gentlemen, it’s now time to have an adult conversation about love in 2017. Within the next few weeks, Americans of all ages will scuttle mindlessly through the shopping malls, jewelry stores, department stores, and internet to purchase a gift for their sweetie for the upcoming, notoriously symbolic, Valentine’s Day. I don’t mean to make the tone of this article in angst or suggest that the Valentine’s Day holiday is just simply a trivial, overly heralded, unsanctioned vacation-day. However, we effortlessly spend more time searching for an acceptable, or customary, holiday gift rather than working regularly throughout the year to cement the warmth and affection we demonstrate to our significant others. Consider the gifts that people choose to give during Valentine’s Day: confectionery, lingerie, romantic or sentimental cards, jewelry, candlelight dinner and a movie are all great ideas, but they probably are the same exact ideas that inevitably we gave last year. Even more so, we probably had dinner, dessert, and a movie just last weekend. Although passionate cards express the perfect words and emotion for its consumer, there are usually five to 10 more of the exact same card directly behind the card you are currently reading; therefore, technically your best friend, supervisor, sibling, coworker, or parent may also pass the same card to their special person. My friends, we have
quietly become captured by Cupid’s inflexible harness of more of the same-old-same-old; it’s time to give this bare, sockless little-dude the boot and overhaul our rituals of love. The editor of MWR Life gave me this opportunity to write this article, coincidentally, during the first round of the NFL playoffs, and although the teams were equally competitive and their play-execution legendary, the follow-up programs were as uninteresting as receiving a root canal without anesthesia on a Friday. Nonetheless, I found myself unable to break free from the television’s hypnotic glare that resulted in mindlessly channel surfing for any program that safely increased my heart rate … until I stumbled upon an automotive repair show that discussed the significance of timing belts. As the show progressed, I realized that an automotive timing
belt is similar to a harmonious, ever-evolving, and gratifying relationship. Here’s why; according to Timothy Charlet, of yourmechanic.com, a timing belt “is an internal engine component that rotates the engine’s cam and crankshaft in sync and ensure each cylinder fires at the appropriate time.” Therefore, this part is just as important as the engine, transmission, and battery and without it, the vehicle will not run. Most people have heard advice, such as, that a healthy relationship requires a lot of work, on the other hand, as the description notes that a timing belt rotates to keep other parts in sync, firing the cylinders appropriately.
15
Thus, being unpredictable is a good trait to exhibit in order to keep a relationship harmonious as well as continuously rekindling the flame or spark in your relationship. Search for innovation and unusual ways to express your desire and commitment to your loved ones. Your ideas do not have to be expensive or rare in order to be unique and exciting, just not the usual – card, flowers, candy, and movie. I also learned that a timing belt, is according to Mr. Charlet, “commonly manufactured out of high-quality rubber with nylon reinforced cords inside to extend the life of the belt.” This tells me that a timing belt is very flexible and capable of sustaining great stress. Accordingly, with the number of field training exercises and multiple deployments or incompatible work schedules and other Family commitments (after school activities, routine shopping, and regular errands), it’s easy to fall into a relationship tunnel. Tunnels usually offer travel in only one-direction, veering either left or right in a tunnel is usually difficult without breaching the tunnel wall. Nonetheless, a high-quality relationship employs flexibility. If tight schedules make it
difficult to formally plan an intimate event for you and your partner or quality time to spend with your Family, do small things such as sit together and have a cup of coffee or your favorite hot beverage. Make time to read with children and be attentive of their preferences and hobbies. Also, be willing to forego a routine in order to make quality-time with others; as the relationship matures and as children grow to become adults, they will treasure those special impromptu-moments and reminisce about them frequently. Lastly, all motorists must conduct regular routine-maintenance in order to keep the vehicle rolling properly and smoothly; Mr. Charlet suggests that timing belts are, “subject to incredible forces inside your motor and will need to be replaced eventually.” I’m not suggesting that this analogy means that you may have to replace your special people; but, you may have to create a new tradition in order to keep the spirit of the relationship evolving and the desire endlessly flammable. During times
of stress be aware that your actions not only speak louder than words, but that dangerous words may lead to damaging relationships. Tabitha Winston, Victim Advocate for the Army Community Service, Family Advocacy Program suggests that, “A sharp tongue like a sharp knife can slice the best of relationships. Remember, you can change your world by changing your words. For more information on healthy relationships please contact the Army Community Service Family Advocacy Program at (270) 412-5500 and have an awesome year: overhaul that love! 16
The newest yummy creation of the Warrior Zone, the BOSS Burger came to be due to the hungry curiousity of a few Soldiers. “Four single Soldiers came into the Warrior Zone and asked me why don't we sell Big Macs”, said Neicy Davis, advisor to the Better Opportunity for Single Soldiers Program (BOSS). So the Soldiers created the BOSS Burger, since the Warrior Zone is the home of the BOSS program. The burger was tested and everyone loved it. Duronda Cannon, manager of the Warrior Zone, said “it has been one of our most popular burgers”. And it only costs $7.95 Warrior Zone hours: Sunday - Thursday: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. • Friday and Saturday: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Location: 3901 Indiana Ave. For more information: (270) 461-0603 or campbell.armymwr.com/us/campbell/programs/zone

By Dr. Gregory Stalworth
Black History is American History. They are inseparable! One cannot exist without the other. The diversity of mingled blood, sweat, and tears that fell upon and stained the soil of our nation’s rich landscape of historic democracy touches all Americans. Embracing, remembering, and celebrating our complete history is critically important to not repeating the mistakes that are inherently therein. Unfortunately, at one time in our history many decades ago, the significant contributions of African-Americans were not illuminated, especially within some mainstream educational establishments. Realizing this deficit and its potential long-term negative effects, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, an African-American historian born in 1875 in New Canton, Virginia, sought to establish a national time and tradition that would bring prominence to Black history. Dr. Woodson earned a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University in 1912 and was only the second African-American, after Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois, another historian, to do so. Dr. Du Bois was also a sociologist and civil rights activist. Working in conjunction with the Association for Study Negro Life and History, Dr. Woodson originally established the second week of February as “Negro History Week.” This particular week was carefully chosen by him because it coincided with
the birthdays of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and Frederick Douglass on February 14. It had been a longstanding tradition during the 19th Century within the African-American community to celebrate Lincoln’s and Douglass’ birthdays. Lincoln’s birthday was celebrated for his writing and signing the Emancipation Proclamation, Jan. 1, 1863, which freed the slaves. Lincoln’s manumission of the slaves ultimately saved the Union by enabling the freed slaves to take up arms and fight for the Union, such as in the legendary 54th Massachusetts Voluntary Infantry – one of the first official African-American units in the American Civil War. As an African-American, Douglass’ birthday was celebrated because he was considered the iconic “Father of the Abolition Movement.” The week-long celebration eventually evolved into Black History Month, as it’s known today. Born into slavery, Douglass became a social reformer, bolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery as a young man in Maryland, he became prominently known as a national leader of the abolitionist movement. He was the author of numerous books, publisher of a newspaper about liberty and freedom called The North Star.
Although an initial critic of President Lincoln, Douglass eventually became an admirer and confidant/ advisor to Lincoln. In 1877, Douglass was appointed as the U.S. marshal of the District of Columbia by U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes. In a famous quote that embodies the importance of knowledge and studying and embracing Black history, Douglass once said, “Strive earnestly to add to your knowledge. So long as you remain in ignorance, so long you will fail to command the respect of your fellow man.” Although Douglass’ profound words of admonition were likely primarily aimed at inspiring the minds of slaves and former slavers, his words were and are applicable to anyone and everyone, especially today. Thus, acquiring knowledge, especially of our nation’s history and world history, including current “history in the making” related to international affairs, not only garners respect but more importantly makes us a better people, individually and collectively.
