The

year 2013 marks Mount Taebaek’s 20th Annual Snow Festival! With winter still among us, you can use this time

to enjoy Korea’s natural beauty and relieve unnecessary stress. From snow sledding to viewing the magnificent snow sculpture exhibition, there’s something to do for everyone of all ages.

The

c ity of Taebaek is located in the far south east of Gangwon-do, nestled in the Taebaek Mountain range. Taebaek is a fairly large town but there

are a lot of shops, restaurants, bars, markets and outdoor activities. The town was actually once a successful coal mining town but the mines are no longer in operation although those that visit can still see some evidence of the mines. Taebaek is a busy and popular destination, especially during the January-February timeframe. As mentioned above, the city of Taebaek is nestled in the Taebaek Mountain Range. Mount (Mt.) Taebaek is approximately 500 kilometers along Korea’s east coast. Rising 1,567 meters above sea level, Taebaek-san (which means “great white mountain”) is famous for the heavy snowfall during the winter.

Mt. Taebaek Snow Festival

The

actual Mt.Taebaek Snow Festival will take place from 25 January~3 February. The landmarks in Mt.

Taebaek include the Springhead of the Nakdong River Hwangji Pond, the Fantastic Underworld Yongyeon Cave, the Springhead of Han River Geom-nyong-so, Taebaek’s History Coal Museum and the Paleozoic Era Museum of Natural History. Other landmarks that Mt. Taebaek is known for is their Ski Resort, their Snow Sledding Slope and the Youth Center Ice Sledding area. In another section of the festival, patrons can pay an extra fee for snow racing, snowmobile towed rafting, ATVs and they can enjoy an ice motor show.

major attraction is the world of beautiful snow sculptures created by top sculptors around the world as well as from

Korea. The size of the sculptures can range from something that can fit in the palm of your hand to something in the size a SUV. In addition to the snow sculptures, the festival will feature magic shows, music concerts, and hands-on activities such as making your own snow bricks, a snowman, mini lanterns, napkin art, creating your own perfume and even snow candles! For lunch, patrons can walk over to the local food court and try Taebaek’s local winter delicacies, grab a hot beverage from the Igloo café and afterwards, visit the Retinispora Foot Bath area for a relaxing afternoon. When the sun sets, patrons can enjoy the Starlight Festival beautiful ornaments and designs to light up the streets and the festival will end with a LED dance performance by professionals.

The

Healthy Meal Plan EAT BREAKFAST EVERYDAY Oatmeal, a piece of fruit, boiled eggs, all of this can be prepared quick and easy in the morning or even the night before. Studies show people who eat breakfast everyday are SIGNIFICANTLY LEANER.

EAT EVERY 2-3 HOURS I know this can be tough with a busy schedule but you can always pack a bag of mixed nuts, seeds, chopped up veggies (chopped the night before so they are ready to go), fruit, small Tupperware of leftovers from previous night, or a protein shake if you are really in a bind.

INCLUDE PROTEIN WITH EVERY FEEDING This is tough to do but you have to find a way to get your overall protein percentage/quality up. Find things that you like to eat: 93% ground beef, top round, top sirloin, chicken breast, ground turkey, ham, pork, salmon, tuna, trout, cod, eggs, cottage cheese, plain yogurt, skim milk, and string cheese.

DON’T BE SCARED OF FATS I’m not going to dive into good/ bad fats I will just give you some general guidelines on what fats to eat. Animal fats, butter, cheese, coconut oil, palm oil, extra virgin olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocado, flax seed, FISH OIL.

NO HIGH CALORIE BEVERAGES water, green tea, black coffee ONLY!

EAT SOME FRUITS/VEGETABLES That piece of lettuce on that Charlie’s chicken sandwich does not count! Try to eat vegetables as much as possible. Buy them every week, cut them up and have them in Tupperware ready to go. Vegetable options: green pepper, red pepper, onion,

CHEAT MEALS You should allow yourself to “cheat” 10% of the time. This will help keep you sane and keep you dedicated to your new eating lifestyle. So to put this into context: 7 days in a week, 5 feedings each day = 35 feeding opportunities. Out of those 35 feeding opportunities you should allow yourself to cheat on 3-4 occasions.

♦ Holiday Celebration This month at Yongsan Library National African American History Month (1-28 February 2013) Black History Month, or National African American History Month, is an annual celebration of achievements by black Americans and a time for recognizing the central role of African Americans in U.S. history. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,” the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Black History Month. (2012). The History Channel website. Retrieved December 16, 2012, from http://www.history.com/topics/black-history-month.

Presidents, Day (18 February 2013) Presidents’ Day, celebrated each year on the third Monday in February, is a day when Americans honor the legacies of the U.S. Presidents. The holiday was established in 1800, when Congress declared February 22–George Washington’s birthday–a federal holiday. Still legally known as Washington’s Birthday, Presidents’ Day has become a day to honor not only Washington, but Abraham Lincoln, the 16th U.S. President who was born on February 12, and the lives and accomplishments of all U.S. Presidents.

As the Military Saves Week quickly approaches, make sure to give your finances a checkup and discover if you need to make saving a priority. You may discover that you have debt you need to pay down or that you are ready to take the next step in savings. Helping yourself and your family save successfully for the future should be near the top of your list – and its one issue you can’t afford to subdue! Remember, you don’t have to make a lot of money to save successfully. Start Small. Think Big.

1. Save for Emergencies

Having an emergency savings fund may be the most important difference between those who manage to stay afloat and those who are sinking financially. In a recent survey, only 49% of families said they had extra funds (not including lines of credit) available to pay for an unexpected expense of $1,000. Don’t find yourself unprepared in 2013. How to do it: Save a Portion of Your Tax Refund.

2. Get Out of Debt

The best investment most borrowers can make is to pay off consumer debt with double-digit interest rates. How to do it: Find places to cut your spending so that you can pay down your debts faster.

3. Save for Retirement – Participate in the Thrift Savings Plan

The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement savings and investment plan for Federal employees and members of the uniformed services, including the Ready Reserve. It offers the same types of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their

employees under 401(k) plans. Plus the TSP now has a ROTH option. How to do it: Start with as little as 1% of your pay. Don’t forget to have your spouse or family member save for their retirement as well.

4. Make Savings Automatic- set-up a discretionary allotment using myPay

These savings will provide funds for emergencies, future consumer purchases, home purchase, school tuition, or even retirement (also see Tip #3). How to do it: You can use an allotment to automatically transfer funds from your pay into a savings account. Saving automatically is the easiest and most successful way to save.

5. Deploying? Take advantage of the Savings Deposit Program

A total of $10,000 may be deposited during each deployment and will earn 10% interest annually. How to do it: Visit the finance office at your deployed location (or home base for information) to begin saving. Savings Strategy: Save a Portion of Your Tax Refund Tax Time is a great time to kick start or grow your savings for the future! Use the 30 – 40 – 30 plan. Designate 30% of your refund to pay off debt and catch up on outstanding bills. Earmark 40% for current use. Use 30% to jump start an emergency fund or long term savings. You can use Form 8888 to buy a U.S. Savings Bonds. Bonds are a safe and easy way to save for the future. Are you ready to set your goal? Military Saves, operated by the non-profit Consumer Federation of America, and a partner in the Defense Department’s Financial Readiness Campaign, encourages service members and their families to save money, pay down debt, and build personal wealth. Military Saves promotes. Helpful tools and classes are available through USAG Yongsan Army Community Services (ACS) and www.militarysaves.com.
