The light-filled dining room looks out to the 18th green and surrounding forest. An enclosed glass veranda is adjacent to the dining area, and an open patio that has views of the putting greens is available for diners in warmer months.

The McChord Community Center is gathering the best of home brews and microbrews for its 5th annual Brewfest Friday, March 16, sanctioned by the American Homebrewers Association and the Beer Judge Certification Program.

Engine House No. 9 in Tacoma, which produce their own microbrews.

Plan to sample the best Friday, March 16 at the McChord Club/Community Center, Bldg. 700, starting at 4:30 p.m.

For $10, you’ll find plenty of good food, music and brew sampling, plus door prizes throughout the event.

Tasting is open to ages 21 and older.

IDs will be checked at the door.

For complete information, including rules and entry forms for home brews, check out the Brewfest page at JBLMmwr. com/brewfest. Call the McChord Community Center at 253982-0718 for other details.

Home brewers can compete for ‘Best of JBLM’ If you’re into making home brew, get ready to enter your best batch into the home brew competition. Submissions will be accepted through March 5, judged by certified experts and awarded prizes and medals.

Event organizers are encouraging home brewers to both compete and provide samples at Brewfest. “Our aim is to bring an awareness to what home brewing’s about, what goes into it,” says Colin Brooks, McChord Community Center director. “It’s not just about the end product — it’s also about the individual creativity that goes into it and the celebration of the process.”

The Northwest has the largest concentration of microbreweries in the entire United States — more than 1,300. Portland, Ore., alone has 43 breweries, more than any other city in the world.

Food & fun

N

ext time you and your buddies get together, take a moment to appreciate your good fortune. When you come home to your spouse or children, hug them a bit longer. If your cat or dog comes looking for a walk or scratch, give them an extra treat.

It’s a proven fact that the more you’re involved with friends, Family and even pets, the healthier and longer your life is expected to be — and that’s worth celebrating!

In honor of Valentine’s Day, here are 14 ideas for spending more time together: Take your daughter or son to a JBLM Library for gaming after dinner or on weekends. For instance, the McChord Library has a game zone with 12 gaming consoles and six screens with PS3, Wii and Xbox. Bring your own games or choose from hundreds of others.

Bring your youngster to Children’s Storytimes at your JBLM Libraries. Book Patch Library inside Grandstaff holds storytime Wednesdays from 10:30–11 a.m. The McChord Library has 45 minutes of fun Thursdays at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Go bowling as a Family or just grab a friend. Sounders Lanes (McChord) and Bowl Arena Lanes (Lewis Main) feature weekday specials and Friday and Saturday Thunder Alley or Xtreme Bowling. Visit JBLMmwr.com for all the details.

Take your child or grandchild to AFC Arena’s skate rink for the Tot and Stroller Skate from 9–11 a.m. the first and third Wednesday of the month. All Wednesday skate sessions cost only one buck all day!

Work out together at a JBLM fitness center. Choose a free aerobics class — from zumba or yoga to cycling or kick boxing — from a class schedule at JBLMmwr.com/fitness.

hat is a memento worth, even when it’s just a napkin?

To one woman who walked into the McChord Arts & Crafts Center, it was a priceless symbol of lifelong love.

Several years ago, custom framer Patty Valdez met a woman who had placed the napkin and an old photo on the counter. She wanted the items framed in the best possible way. Cost didn’t matter to her.

The woman explained to Valdez that the napkin was from a tea house in London and the photo of a young couple was her parents’ first date at the tea house during World War II. He was a U.S. military Servicemember, and she was British.

Valdez commented that the napkin looked new. The woman explained that she had found the tea house still in business on a recent trip to England and had taken the napkin for a special reason.

She said, “My parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in a few weeks, and I wanted to give this as an anniversary gift.”

As Valentine’s Day approaches, what would you bring into Arts & Crafts to make into a keepsake?

Call the Lewis Arts & Crafts Center at 253-967-5001 or the McChord Arts & Crafts Center at 253-982-6726 to consult with framing, engraving and embroidery experts.

Objective: Get your rés

By Rick Morrison, Employment Specialist ACS Employment Readiness Program

Y

our résumé is your written advertisement. It’s your opportunity to take credit for projects well done and let the employer know why he should hire you.

Employers concentrate on reading the top half of the first page of the résumé; make your best case for hiring there.

There are five major sections of a resume: heading (contact information), objective (job goal), qualifications (paid and unpaid skills and abilities), experience (paid and unpaid work) and education (academics and onthe-job training). Some résumés add other sections; professional affiliation, publications and community service are a few.

Some tips in preparing or updating your résumé: • Use the objective to state your desired position: A Retail Department Manager position, which will use my merchandising and supervision skills. Avoid stating conditions that an employer can’t guarantee, such as: A secretary position offering further education and professional growth in a friendly office environment.

• Save “soft” qualifications for the interview. On your résumé, replace team player, good communication skills, positive attitude and professional and reliable with skills that result in a document or show production. If you use a technique, regulation or tool, write the tool and function, such as: Create business correspondence using Microsoft Word; Chart and maintain nursing records in compliance with AR 18

40–407; or Operate electric trimmers and edgers to trim lawn around trees, landscape and sidewalks.

• On the résumé, take credit for work

that you perform in coordination with others. Write that you do the payroll if you and another clerk calculate pay and do a read-back to each other to check for accuracy.

• Include unpaid work experience and other skills. Some jobs require certification or licensing to qualify (social worker, architect and physician are some), but others require only the ability to perform a task. If you painted the walls in your home, you could qualify as an interior wall painter; list it as a qualification if you’re applying for home repair or construction work.

• Begin sentences with action verbs

that describe work at your highest performance. Many employers read only the first sentence of each job description, so it’s important to choose your words carefully. A manager of an automotive repair shop might begin the job description by stating: Supervise three auto mechanics; oversee repairs, business operations, customer service and inventory control in a busy shop servicing 120+ cars each month.

• For volunteer work, use a job title

that would be appropriate for the work if paid. For example, a volunteer who answers the telephone, sets up meetings, types correspondence and files documents could use the title of business support specialist, office assistant or any number of others.

• Review and use spell check.

Examine and refine your résumé until there are no spelling or

umé work-force ready! grammatical errors. The intent is to show employers that your résumé has no mistakes because you’re the best candidate.

A finished résumé will be the script to your play (interview), and you’ll be the star of the show.

The one-hour events are Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and provide program and job information. You can stop

HEART HEALTH

Keep your heart healthy in quick

By Lynn Larson, RN, Nurse educator for Health Promotion & Wellness Service/Army Wellness Center (currently located at Wilson Sports and Fitness Center)

L

ike any other muscle in your body, the heart requires preventative care to keep it healthy. Here are some simple steps to keep you ticking.

1

Quit smoking: Smoking doubles

your risk of heart disease. Quitting now will greatly reduce your risk, plus make you much more kissable!

JBLM offers many tobacco cessation programs to help you kick the habit.

Quit smoking with MWR: Made the decision to quit? Nurse educators with the Health Promotion & Wellness Service/ Army Wellness Center can point you in the right direction for help. Call 253-966-3757.

2

Lose weight: Add more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your diet. Choose non-fat and cholesterol-free products. During winter, soup can be warming and nutritious, plus it can help you lose weight.

Choose broth-based soups instead of cream-style.

Lose weight with MWR: Get eat-right advice from nurse educators: 253-966-3757.

26

3

Exercise: The National Acad-

emies Institute of Medicine recommends 60 minutes of moderately intense physical activity each day. Take your Valentine for a romantic walk, you’ll both feel better!

Exercise with MWR: Take a fitness class (see next page), consider enlisting the help of a fitness trainer or go snowshoeing with your Valentine (see page 22).

4

Monitor high blood pressure:

HBP frequently has no symptoms, so it’s important to have yours checked regularly. A healthy diet, exercise and medication can control your blood pressure and keep you healthy.

7

steps

goals to reduce your A1c.

Monitor your blood sugar with MWR: Get health and nutrition information from the nurse educators; call 253-966-3757.

6

Financial planning for your

happily ever after

By Ryki Carlson, JBLM Financial Counselor

• Set clear expectations — such as only one person talks at a time, don’t make sarcastic remarks, have an open mind and evaluate all ideas and concerns.

• Don’t be judgmental.

• Discuss both short-term (a year or less) and long-term financial goals.

• Keep good eye contact throughout the conversation. Let your spouse know you’re listening to his/her ideas, concerns and goals.

• Humility to listen without prejudice, preconceived ideas or judgments.

Don’t presume you know what your spouse will say, even though you may have heard it before. Repetition from your spouse only means this issue is important to him/her.

• Place yourself in your spouse’s situation. Empathize.

• Set time aside each week to discuss bills, upcoming expenses and financial changes. Knowing both of you

ost people plan for months for that perfect wedding day … but fail to talk about how they’ll finance the rest of their lives.

Effective communication is the key to planning your life together.

In a perfect world, you’d marry someone who has the same attitude toward finances. In other words, if you were a spender, you would marry a spender; a saver would marry a saver. Since this isn’t usually the case, it’s important to discusses with your spouse your attitude and goals about money.

Approaching these conversations can be scary or intimidating, but with a few tips, you can begin to open the door to effective financial communication.

• Pick a time to talk when neither you nor your spouse is rushed.

Effective communication is so vital in a marriage. Realize that conflict arises as a result of miscommunication or no communication. Investing time in your financial communication can strengthen your relationship.

If you prefer personal budget counseling, schedule an appointment. Call Army Community Service at 253-9671453 or the Airmen & Family Readiness Center at 253-982-2695.

Q: Why do I need to know my net worth?

A:

Your personal net worth is critical to measuring your financial health. It’s determined by subtracting your debts from your assets.

As you age, your savings and investing should be increasing while your debts decrease. By monitoring your net worth monthly, you can determine your financial well-being. With today’s technology it’s easy to track your net worth and budget online. Consider using a tool such as mint.com or one provided by your financial institution. Whichever you choose, ensure it helps you with budgeting as well as tracking your personal net worth.
