DIRECT DIRECTOR from the
August is National Back to School Month and time for our children to return to their pencils and books on August 31. Between now and then, there’s plenty of summer fun to be had. This time of the season is the best time of year for enjoying local “matsuri,” (festivals), attending fireworks displays and hitting the beach, all with the backdrop of a symphony performed by the short-lived “semi”, (cicadas). Both MCCS and the city of Iwakuni have worked hard to plan events for the community that embrace the spirit of summer! Iwakuni City’s largest event is August 8 –the Nishiki River Water Festival, also commonly referred to as the Kintaikyo Fireworks Festival. This festival is how our host city celebrates the blessings provided by the Nishiki River, which flows directly under the Kintai Bridge. There will be taiko drummers, food booths, a water-thanking ceremony, games and an impressive 90-minute fireworks display! It's a popular event but with limited parking, so it's a great opportunity to familiarize yourself with local transportation, enjoy a scenic walk or ride your bike. On August 14 there will be a Sesame Street Show/USO Experience at Sakura Theater featuring famous Muppet characters from Sesame Street and will feature a militar y child muppet dealing with the challenges of a PCS. The back-to-school season is also an opportune time to refresh our children’s safety awareness. On August 25, Marine Corps Family Team Building will host a Child Safety Day event with fun and informative games. There will be giveaways, and kids can explore emergency response and security vehicles. If there’s one event that you simply can’t miss this month, it’s the Summer Music Festival. On August 29, MCCS will host a community-wide free celebration at Penny Lake that includes live music acts, hot food, child-friendly amusements and a fireworks display. This annual event is your chance to celebrate the summer and sunshine while enjoying music and food with our wonderful community. The festival is held at the end of the summer as the weather tends to be free of rain and fireworks-friendly. In the off chance that it does rain, we’ll move the event to Club Iwakuni, and the celebration will go on. August is also the last month in the Fuji climbing season; both Outdoor Recreation and the Single Marine Program host trips that include free time in Tokyo. On August 21, Cultural Adaptation has a helpful trip to a local grocer y store and restaurant. They can also transport you to the Mazda factor y and free time in the Aeon Mall in Hiroshima on August 28. If sports are more your thing, check out the Intramural Summer Softball Tournament August 7-8 or the Commander's Cup 4-on-4 Flag Football Challenge August 15-16. Be sure to see what MCCS and Iwakuni City can offer you this month. No matter how you celebrate summer, stay hydrated, keep safety in mind and have fun! “Semper Fi” John Iwaniec Marine Corps Community Ser vices Director MARKETING WELCOMES EDUARDO TO THE TEAM AND WISHES TINA ALL THE BEST!

COMMUNITY ARTICLE
How to be Frugal through School by Deanna O'Neal, Director NMCRS Iwakuni
School is starting soon. This is a good time to think about saving. We can all save every day. Teaching our children to save is one of the most valuable lessons we as parents can give. Even with our youngest preschoolers, there are ways to save on school expenses. These lessons our children see, go with them throughout their school career. Here are some tips for saving during the different stages of school.
Elementary School WALK TO SCHOOL INSTEAD OF DRIVING Provides health benefits, saves money on gas and prevents wear and tear on the vehicle
APPLY FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH Many people don’t realize they qualify for free or reduced school lunch. Ask the School Liaison office if you can apply.
REUSE SCHOOL SUPPLIES Many supplies from the end of the previous year still have a lot of life left in them. Don’t always buy everything brand new on the school list. Take inventory at the end of the previous year to determine what you have and what you will need
TAKE YOUR OWN SCHOOL PICTURES School pictures are getting more and more expensive every year. With current digital cameras and online picture printing, it’s easy to take your own “school pictures” at half the price.
Junior High/High School GET A JOB Besides teaching the value of hard work, a job can provide income for all those small expenses you have like a new pair of shoes, a new cell phone, or even a pizza. Working is also a great way to save. Ages fourteen and older can work for MCCS. Visit MCCS Human Resources for information on open positions. GET GOOD GRADES The better your grades are in high school, the more scholarship opportunities are available to you.
START A SAVINGS & CHECKING ACCOUNT Interest bearing accounts are better places to save your money than in piggy banks. Your account will grow faster if you also add any gift money you receive, such as birthday and Christmas gifts. AVOID UNNECESSARY SPENDING Think twice before purchasing the fast food meal at lunchtime and think about saving the money for an even greater goal.
WALK, DON’T DRIVE Cars are quite the money pits. The longer you wait to drive, the less you will spend on gas and insurance. START BUDGETING YOUR MONEY NOW With limited income and spending, budgeting is easy and will help to establish a good habit of creating a budget. Visit NMCRS or Personal Financial Management Program for assistance.
College LIVE ON OR CLOSE TO CAMPUS Walking or bicycling can save you money on gas, but also many universities charge large amounts for parking passes each year. SHOP USED TEXTBOOKS/RENT TEXTBOOKS Textbooks prices are ever increasing, used books are always a good option. Many shops lease textbooks as well for less. Online versions are also available, which can cut down on book costs. DON’T DRINK Even if you are of legal age to drink, money spent on alcohol leaves you with nothing to show for it.
AVOID THE EXPENSIVE COFFEE SHOPS Brewing at home even with single-serve coffeemakers can help you save a great deal when compared to the $5+ lattes from the big chains ROTATE DINNER NIGHTS Instead of eating out with friends at restaurants, have a rotating dinner schedule with each of your apartments one night and have everyone bring an ingredient to go with a theme and work together to make the meal. Learn to cook some simple foods. Cooking at home will save tons when compared to going out, especially breakfast foods.
SHOP THRIFT STORES Or trade clothes with friends. Both provide a great change of wardrobe at next to nothing or nothing. LEARN SELF-CONTROL It’s the first time on your own, but you need to show restraint from purchasing everything you want. Save for future purchases. TAKE CREDIT AND MONEY MANAGEMENT CLASSES IF AVAILABLE Credit cards are everywhere. Take time to learn the proper use of credit and all the terms that go along with it. Visit a financial expert at the Personal Financial Management Program office. M C C S I WA K U N I . C O M |

Information, Referral & Relocation Services:
a Treasure Chest of Resources! by Mitsuko Yoshimoto, Information & Referral Specialist
Pop quiz time! Answer the following to test your local knowledge and get rich.
Which office do you call to obtain a driver’s license? Where is the Learning Resource Center? Where can you find Santa rental suits on base? There is a place you can find more coupons, (which means more savings!) apart from the Commissary. Where is it? What is the number to reach the base operator if you are calling from your cell phone? (Do you know a base operator can provide you not only the telephone number but also the building number?)
RESOURCES ON AND OFF BASE We’re here to help you find information, services or people that will make your life easier and richer. We offer you immediate assistance if you are requesting information that we have on hand such as a service provided on the air station. However, our job is often referring you or connecting you to the best resources available in Iwakuni. We can tell you that there are lots of good resources and helpful people in Iwakuni. We feel that our job is similar to searching for hidden treasure. It can require us to make lots of phone calls and emails asking questions and making arrangements; however the reward is worth it! It is our privilege to get to know both American and Japanese people who have special skills or knowledge and are willing to offer their time for other people.
LOCAL INFORMATION If you are looking for something to do on weekends, please visit Information, Referral & Relocation Services on Facebook. We post local event information in the Preview magazine, and additional information on Facebook as well.
JAPANESE LANGUAGE & TRANSLATION We also offer simple language assistance. (If medical related, legal related or it requires more than 15 minutes for us to translate, we may refer you to a different resource.) For example, if you receive a letter written in Japanese, we can explain to you what it is. If it is a vehicle recall notice letter as is often the case, we can also make an appointment with the nearest car dealer for you.
MEET OUR FRIENDLY TEAM
Did you collect all five gems? If not, maybe it’s time to visit Information and Referral. They’ve got answers to the above and anything else you want to know.
Ms. Y is a volunteer who is extremely helpful in assisting with Japanese language services. Mr. G is a big time saver in helping with on base resources. Ms. S is so amazing that she walked over to a park in the snow to make an arrangement for an on-base resident! Come meet our friendly team and tell us what you’re looking for. With help from our treasure hunters and a team of community experts--we will find you the answer! NEXT INFO EXPO IS SEPTEMBER 12 There are lots of hidden treasures in Iwakuni, and our program can help you to discover them! To see what the base and Japan have to offer, mark your calendars for the next Info Expo. There will be vendors from local travel agencies, businesses, hotels and more offering prizes as well as valuable information. Enjoy live entertainment and refreshments while you pick up information that will help you get the most from your time in Iwakuni. Also, Info Expo is the best opportunity to get to know resourceful people and make friends. If you would like to do something but do not know where to start, call 253-6161 for details.

How to Master
Matsuri, the Summer F estival by Jessica McFarlane, Public Affairs Specialist
At any given moment, there seems to be a festival happening somewhere in Japan. Whether it’s the celebration of the oyster season in Hiroshima, gia nt s n ow s c ul p t ure s in Sapporo or Fugu fish season i n S h i m o n o s e k i, o u r host nation loves an occasion to celebrate!
But during the summer season, the festivals are special. The hundreds of summer matsuri held throughout Japan are festive celebrations that resonate with colorful imagery, summer-friendly matsuri cuisine, and traditional songs and attire specifically reserved for the season. Many matsuri continue after sunset to take advantage of the slight dip in temps. The festivals are also family-friendly, and attendees of all ages will enjoy them. August is the peak of the season, and there is no shortage of celebrations to crash. But first, let’s master the matsuri and prepare ourselves for the local parties! Matsuri are similar to an American block party or street festival. Some cities feature parades of dancers, mikoshi, (portable shrines,) or giant lantern floats, (see Famous Festivals Around Japan.) There is usually a musical act if not several. Children love matsuri because there are always ample game booths with prizes. Adults also enjoy these nostalgic games such as fishing for colorful balls in moving water or catching goldfish, (caution parents: the goldfish is also the prize.) Oh, and let’s not forget my favorite part, which is matsuri food!
夏 祭 り
When you attend a matsuri, bring your appetite and then some. Covered red and white food stalls with strings of lights are squeezed side-by-side, lining the streets. Many of them will sell yakisoba, yakitori, karaage, okonomiyaki and takoyaki. As you walk by, the vendors will tempt you to purchase their fare with shouts of “irasshaimase!” or “ikaga desuka?” These
are traditional, friendly greetings that both welcome customers and ask “would you like some?” If the colorful writing and cute logos don’t lure you to purchase, then the enticing aromas just might! Although the festival itself is a great excuse to sample the various food stalls, certain foods and beverages are beneficial to your well-being. The Japanese gravitate toward particular foods in the hot, humid summer to alleviate or avoid natsubate, or summer fatigue. It makes sense that many of those foods are found at summer matsuri. Bring plenty of small currencies, our matsuri food guide, an adventurous spirit and prepare to dig in! Should your friends give you a hard time after your third round of kakigori, tell them to hush—it’s healthy!

Similar to okonomiyaki in texture, but bite-sized. This Osaka invention has an octopus tentacle or two and is drowned in sweet sauce, mayo, and seaweed sprinkles.
But food isn’t the only method used to beat the heat. The locals also break out their traditional clothing, which not only is a nostalgic nod to the past but allows the body to cool in the muggy summer. Women and girls wear yukata, which is the summer version of a kimono. Nowadays, the colors are vibrant, and the patterns are summer themes such as flowers or fans. Although Japanese traditionally wore yukata as their regular clothing in hot months, they are now almost exclusively matsuri attire. Men and boys wear yukata too, but some opt for the jimbei, which is a matching set of long shorts and a wraparound top. The fabrics and cut of both the yukata and jimbei allow air to circulate the body. Wooden geta sandals serve the same function as they elevate the foot from the hot ground and permit air flow.
The final step in mastering the matsuri is to attend one! Don’t be shy about visiting a recycle shop, department store or kimono seamstress to purchase a yukata or jimbei. Visit Information, Referral & Relocation Services for information. Attending a matsuri in a yukata while eating takoyaki shows the Japanese that you’re enthusiastically embracing their culture. It’s also a nice icebreaker to meet locals!

Baby Jitters? New Parent Support Program is here to help! by Liz Garcia, New Parent Support Home Visitor
Let’s face it. When expecting a First child, we all wonder: am I truly mentally and physically prepared for this? Frankly, there isn’t a manual in the world that can wholly prepare you for uncontrollable high-pitched crying, endless feedings and sleepless nights. Military families also face unique challenges such as an OCONUS PCS or a deployed spouse. Oh boy. That bundle of joy’s arrival just created a bundle of nerves. While there may not be one magical manual, there is a program that will help new parents enhance positive parenting skills. New Parent Support Program (NPSP) is here to help first-time parents transition into parenthood through education and support. Services are available to both those that are expecting and parents with children up to 5 years of age. Parents and those who are expecting are eligible to attend events, classes and access the library–all totally free! The NPSP library is packed with interactive parenting tools, table games, informative books and even birthing balls. Parents may also acquire and enhance positive parenting skills through group classes and one-on-one sessions. Some programs available to new parents are: Baby Boot Camp, Iwakuni Hospital Tour, Play Mornings, Toddlers & Tunes, Musical Mondays, Free Movie Thursdays, Hospital Grade Breast Pump Loan Program and the Period of Purple Crying Initiative to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Regardless of your parenting situation, NPSP services are available to you, and you will not have to go through this alone. Not only will their friendly team provide knowledge and skills, but it is a great opportunity for new parents to socialize and form friendships. Visit the NPSP and see what they can do for you and your family.

HIMEJI C a s t l e
COMMUNITY ARTICLE
(姫路城, Him ejij o)
by Nikki Bennett, Community Writer
Ever since I arrived in Iwakuni way back in 2008, I’ve desperately wanted to see the most famous castle in Japan (and a UNESCO World Heritage Site). However, it has remained under wraps while going through a major restoration. So although you could visit bits and pieces of it, you couldn’t view it in all its splendor and glory. Until now.
w w w.japan- guide.com/e/e3501.html ( Japan Guide) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himeji_Castle (Wikipedia)
Now, after a years-long facelift, the hilltop castle at Himeji—the celebrated “White Egret” or “White Crane” castle (whichever moniker you prefer)—is open to visitors. That also means it is swamped with tourists, especially during the holidays and seasonal events. We were crazy enough to wander up to Himeji during cherry blossom season, and even on a Monday in the pouring rain, the lines to get in stretched all the way around the grounds. But it sure looked spectacular, all wrapped in a blanket of pink. So why do people flock to this particular castle like ants storming a picnic basket? Well, besides its stunning architecture, Himeji is the largest and one of the most intact castles in Japan. Most castles at some point were ruined by war or earthquakes or fire, and only a turret or a heap of rubble now remains. Or they’re entirely rebuilt from scratch (like Iwakuni and Hiroshima Castles). But Himeji Castle lucked out. It went through several rebuilds early on (a fort was erected first in 1333), but by the early 1600’s, the present-day castle was pretty much in place. And it’s lasted ever since. Fires haven’t gutted it; wars haven’t ravaged it. The area sustained heavy bombing during World War II, but even though a firebomb landed
smack on top of it (luckily it didn’t go off), the castle remained intact. A devastating earthquake struck in the 90’s, crumbling down whole sections of the city, yet the castle still held together. So putting aside its size and beauty, it’s a lucky castle too and is regarded as one of the three great castles of Japan (the other two stand in Matsumoto and Kumamoto). Don’t expect a quick “OK, I’ve seen it, now let’s go” excursion to this place. Plan on a full day (you might want to crash at one of Himeji’s many hotels because it’s a good 4-hour drive to get there). The castle has 83 buildings to explore, and the main keep alone will take up a good portion of your day. All that careful restoration work over the years has preserved a brilliantly constructed medieval castle. There is a plethora of rooms and crazy defenses to explore including a slew of gates and a maze of winding paths that were constructed to confuse the enemy. You should take your time wandering through it.
well as the place where the kaiden (ghost story) of Bancho Sarayashiki takes place. In the story, a girl is accused of losing valuable family dishes, and they fling her into the well as punishment. Legends say that her ghost is still down there, and at night, you can hear her melancholy voice counting the dishes, over and over again. While you are in Japan, you must see this amazing castle. Himeji Castle is beautiful in cherry blossom season and is probably spectacular when the autumn leaves are full of color as well, but any season would be a good time to visit Himeji. It’s a truly aweinspiring spot, and a castle not to be missed. Hours: 9 AM - 5 PM (until 6 PM from late April through August) Closed on December 29 & 30 Fees: ¥1,000 (castle only) or ¥1,040 (castle and nearby Kokoen Garden)
Besides the huge main keep, there’s tons of warehouses, salt cellars, a treasure house full of artifacts, stunning gardens, and a creepy old well. If you’re up on your Japanese folklore at all, you’ll recognize this
