Like to eat what’s good for you?

Y

ou may turn up your nose at the sound of some healthy foods (and we don’t blame you).

But we’re guessing you won’t even notice how healthy some of the delicious meals are that you’re ordering at our eateries!

Salads are glamorous Look your glam best by eating lots of fresh veggies, salads and fruit.

For instance, who would guess that the Cascade Community Center has one of the best daily salad bars around?

Combine a salad with soup for special savings.

6

Another great salad bar is at Globemaster Grill inside the McChord Club.

Try the Thursday soup, salad and baked potato buffet!

Where can you get a quick salad to go? Pick one up at the Battle Bean at AFC Arena or Café Lancelatte at McChord Field.

Choose from Caesar, chicken Caesar or chef salads at both eateries, plus seasonal fruit salads and a turkey club salad at Battle Bean at AFC Arena.

Other lunchtime salads include a yummy burrito or fajita burrito salad (without the tortilla and with lettuce instead

of rice) at Habañero Mexican Grill at Whispering Firs Golf Course.

Madigan Café and the Strike Zone at either bowling center (Bowl Arena Lanes or Sounders Lanes) give you choices from garden, chef and taco salads. Look for other specialty salads as well.

Lighter sandwiches are ‘slimmering’ Cut down on sandwich calories with more veggies, protein-rich and vitaminfilled fish, meat, chicken, beans and minimal high-calorie spreads.

Find healthy, great-tasting sandwich options at AFC Arena’s Battle Bean, such as a vegetarian bagel sandwich.

Also look for light take-away sandwiches — that aren’t grilled and filled — at Globemaster Grill and Café Lancelatte at McChord Field. View the menus for all our sandwiches at JBLMmwr.com.

New-concept ‘Warrior Zone’ rec center to open at Lewis North The Warrior Zone is a new concept in technology-based recreation implemented by the U.S. Army.

Its roots can be traced back to programs developed at the Nelson Recreation Center in the late 1990s, such as the first computer-based gaming activities, console gaming check-out programs JBLM Warrior Zone Facebook photo and television and movie programs.

When looking to develop the new ‘Warrior Zone’ concept, the planners came to Joint Base Lewis-McChord to learn how it was done, so that they could bring that experience to the rest of the Army and provide this new style of recreation to other garrisons.

Look for the grand opening soon and plan on being awed at Lewis North’s newest rec center.

Get your club regripped at Eagles Pride Golf Course Eagles Pride pro shop offers golf club regripping services with Winn and Golf Pride Grips, and can usually accommodate a one- to two-day turnaround, if your grip choice is in stock.

New this season from Winn is the Dri-Tac, made from a new WinnDry polymer material. This grip combines a comfortable feel with exceptional nonslip performance in all weather conditions.

The Winn Hero remains a popular choice from the WinnLite Soft family, and the pro shop likes the WinnPro Wrap — a new PolyCord material with a firm, textured feel that remains tacky in wet, humid or dry conditions.

Time on the practice equipment improves your swing The winter weather keeps some golfers from getting on the course as often as they’d like. You don’t have to let the rainy, cold weather keep you from improving your swing. Spend some time on the MEGSA PPE and make a positive swing change quickly. (MEGSA stands for Most Efficient Golf Swing Attainable, and PPE stands for Perfect Practice Equipment.)

The MEGSA was invented by Mike Bender, a national top-10 golf instructor, and is the result of a 13-year project to help golfers of all abilities improve in the shortest amount of time possible.

For more information, call Eagles Pride at 253-967-6522.

P

OV Resale Lots, jokingly termed “lemon lots,” are frequent hot spots at military bases for owners selling used vehicles of all shapes and sizes.

In past years, they’ve been stocked full of great finds and deals. But lately, we’ve found that many who could be using them haven’t been.

Why sell at JBLM? Even though you could search online, lemon lots are a convenient, quick way for personnel in transition to find your own transportation, or turn into cash what you cannot take with you.

It’s true that some sellers overprice their vehicles, and you find out fast that buyers pass them by.

But if you adhere to the used vehicle blue book value and post the print-out in the window, you most likely can get a cash sale in little more than two weeks.

Find out what you’re getting Some buyers are wary of hidden problems, even if they like the look of a particular vehicle.

Here’s what our Facebook fans said about their experiences at resale lots: Melinda M. K. wrote: “We bought a jeep there [at a POV lot]. We were able to take the time to look at it, talk with the owner quite a bit, evaluate the pros and cons, and all without the pressure of a sales clerk. We love that jeep, and it’s been a great vehicle to have!”

ob Gunderson is a lemon lot convert.

Ever since his wife sold her car for cash at McChord Field’s “lemon lot” in less than two weeks, he has taken a shine to that particular lot.

When his 17-year-old daughter needed a “large, safe older-model car” to practice her driving skills, he bought a car from the lot that had been a retired officer’s wife’s car.

And when he wanted to replace his old truck with a more reliable model, he once again turned to McChord Field’s POV Resale Lot. “I looked at a lot of used car dealerships when I wanted to get a newer used truck,” Gunderson says.

“They all were way overpriced. So my wife and I spent some time looking over a good selection of trucks at the lemon lot, and I immediately found the Chevy S10 I’d been looking for.”

Gunderson also found that most, if not all, the vehicles on the lot were priced at the used blue book value, and those had the print-outs right on the window so customers could compare value.

“I’m happy with my decision to buy,” says Gunderson. “My truck still runs flawlessly after all this time, even though I work it pretty hard.”

Amanda G. stated: “We sold a car there [at a POV lot]… We’ve looked at cars there also but people’s asking price was most of the time over blue book value because they all wanted to get the cars paid off before deployment/pcs/etc.

It’s not a bad place for new Soldiers looking and you can find some good cars there; it’s just like [online] but in person.”

Melanie W. C. wrote: “We had been looking for a hooptie for our son for some time. It was nice to be able to walk around the lemon lot and check out the cars on our own time. We went quite frequently, and eventually found a great car with low miles. Very happy with it.”

Tiffany J. also commented: “We sold a 2002 Chrysler Voyager with 60,000 miles for $1,500 in good condition. Because we believe in fair prices. The van sold in less than 24 hours.”

Nyki M. J. noted: “Most of the autos are overpriced. I check out the lot every now and again, and all the cars are way over book value. “ Derek S. said: “We bought our truck off of the resale lot next to the museum…”

Diane W. H. wrote: “…I suggest people take the cars to a mechanic before buying them. That why so many people refer to it as the lemon lot.” (We agree — see “Lemon Aid” opposite) Roger K. wrote: “Location was irrelevant for me. I put a vehicle on the lot some years ago and got great responses. I go to check it out a few times a week to find some good deals.”

EFMP, Military Child Education Coalition partner to bring parent workshops to JBLM

Each workshop is tailored to meet the needs of the participants; workshops will also provide resources applicable to children with special needs.

For parents of school-age and teen students, MCEC’s hour-long workshops

Workshops include Charting Your Course, which addresses issues unique to military school-age and high school students, (Thursday, Jan. 19) and Preparing for Successful Parent/Teacher Conferences, Thursday, Feb. 16.

Beginning this month, EFMP and MCEC will offer these workshops on the third Thursday of the month in the ACS Classroom in Waller Hall (Bldg. 2140 at Lewis Main). The workshops will be broken up according to age group; teens: 9:30–10:30 a.m. and school-age: 10:45–11:45 a.m.

We haven’t forgotten about the little ones! EFMP hosts a playgroup every fourth Wednesday of the month from 10–11 a.m. at Raindrops and Rainbows at Lewis North. At each playgroup, MCEC will present a 15-minute miniworkshop providing resources and activities to promote at-home learning.

First step in fitness: good shoes Wondering how to take the first step in a list of fitness goals? Check out the shoes!

Injuries occur if shoes aren’t properly fitted or right for the chosen activity. As you get older, feet become longer and wider.

The proper size and type makes a big difference in how the mechanics of the shoe works with the foot.

When picking a shoe from the hundreds available consider these factors: Details of the chosen activity. What types of terrain will running occur on?

Racing for the finish line in Santa’s Reindeer Dash!

Ken Dietiker

Nearly 250 people raced in last month’s Santa’s Reindeer Dash. Congratulations to everyone who crossed the finish line at Eagles Pride Golf Course!

A store that caters to runners will be staffed with knowledgeable employees, many who are avid runners themselves.

They’ll be educated about body mechanics and which shoe will be right.

What types of arch do you have — high, normal or low to flat? It’s important for a shoe to support the unique foot structure.

Research different shoes on the Internet before making a purchase! The Internet has extensive information and reviews to assist in avoiding a costly mistake.

See the shoe-buying tips below and get out there and enjoy!

Tips for buying your next pair of running shoes • Make sure there’s enough room for toes to move and a quarter-inch from the longest toe to the tip of the shoe. Proper measurement will help ensure an appropriate fit.

• The shoe shouldn’t cause discomfort. If it feels loose, check lacing techniques. A properly tied shoe

makes a world of difference. Search online for ways to lace shoes for the best fit.

• Make sure the store has a 30-day return policy. What feels good in the store doesn’t always work out in activity. It’s important to have the option of trading for a different style.

Save for a rainy day

By Ryki Carlson, JBLM Financial Counselor

A

s the new year begins, many of us commit to changing our habits. One habit that makes the list is dieting and getting in shape. This year consider committing to a financial diet. A financial diet means reducing extra spending, toning down our wants and keeping money for a rainy day. Considering JBLM is in Washington, planning for those rainy days could come in handy.

Your budget is not a checkbook straightjacket but a tool to provide you information about your finances.

Q: Why should I put car maintenance into my ASK THE MONEY EXPERTS

Successfully making changes begins with our perspective on the challenges. There is almost nothing more emotional or personal than money. Clearly evaluating your financial situation takes objectivity, patience and organizational skills. Controlling your money habits requires a change in mindset. Making small financial changes that last can offer financial security for a lifetime. Setting concise and measurable goals will give you direction as you make changes. Planning your steps to achieve these goals directs your efforts. Many of us are wonderful at following plans, but have difficulty creating a viable one. The new year is a perfect opportunity to achieve financial control.

Understanding the financial tools available gives you valuable resources during your change process. Using a budget as a money management tool instead of something to keep you from spending money will help you reduce stress during the process. Your budget is not a checkbook straightjacket but a tool to provide you information about your finances. Technology today makes budgeting your finances as simple as checking your smartphone.

If you prefer one-on-one budget counseling, call Army Community Service at 253-967-1453 or the Airmen & Family Readiness Center at 253-982-2695 to schedule an appointment (special Saturday session available Jan. 7). A financial counselor can ensure your goals and budget are aligned for you to reach financial success in 2012.

monthly budget?

A:

Your monthly budget should include all predictable items. Routine car maintenance (oil changes, tune ups, tire rotations and new tires) is predictable. Routine maintenance is critical to ensure the safety, reliability and longevity of a car — and helps reduce high-cost repairs. According the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average household spends about 1.5 percent of its annual income on auto repairs. This amount can cause a financial crisis if you fail to plan for it. Technology can help you predict the cost of these repairs; a quick look at repairpal.com will give a valid estimate of maintenance actions. Figuring out these costs ahead of time and incorporating them into the budget will increase the likelihood the maintenance will be done and reduce financial stress.
