PRO TIP Swing Path to Impact If you visualize a birds-eye view of your address position, you can think of your feet as being on one railroad track and your club as sitting on the other railroad track. If you are righthanded and your clubhead is moving across that track and to the left at impact, then your swing path is “outside-in” and will cause a slice. An outside-in path is usually the result of starting the downswing with the arms and hands instead of the legs, hips and torso. From the top of your backswing, start with the big muscles and save the smaller, faster muscles for accelerating the clubhead down the track. Clearing your hips before impact with the ball will allow you to release your hands and square up the clubface to your target as the club strikes the ball. Speaking of striking the ball, your hands should always lead the clubhead into impact with the ball! Failure to maintain your hands ahead of the clubhead will produce weak impact and less distance in every shot. Robert E. Jacobus General Manager / Head Professional

s nt a u H s u o ster i

of Misawa by Samantha Trimble

Walking Leftwich Park at night may bring more than just a night under the stars. Legend has it our woods are haunted. You might have experienced something chilling and unexplainable while walking through the Misawa Club, taking a test at school, or even in your home. Are ghosts real? Well, let’s look at some evidence and read some Misawa Air Base residents’ stories.

Night Leftwich Park at Apparitions in

Because our base has experienced many traumatic events in the past, especially during World War II, the chances that apparitions might be spotted and hauntings experienced within our gates are very high. According to an article written by Dr. Richard Clark at the 35th Fighter Wing History Ofce in October of 2014, “Parapsychologists and ghost hunters suggest this type of environment is conducive to hauntings, and if you have been at Misawa Air Base for more than a year, chances are good you’ve heard at least one local ghost story.” The Japanese Imperial Navy began building Misawa Air Base in 1938. Many buildings are different now but the events that happened here do not change. In July and August of 1945 attacks on the base by U.S. Navy aircraft became more apparent as the ight line and Aviation School (now Security Hill) construction nalized. Students and their families lived in the area so underground bunkers were built for protection from bombings. It is said that Leftwich Park is the site where at least two children died when a bunker collapsed in an attack. There have been many reports of seeing and hearing children at Leftwich Park after dark and it is said to be the most haunted area on base. According to Dr. Clark’s research, at one point in time, the Misawa Security Operations Center observation post could view the park on closed circuit television and reported two small children playing in the park at night. Two patrolmen checked the park nding nothing and radioed back to the post. They stood near the park’s bathroom and the men at the post stared at the screen in bewilderment and responded, “What do you mean? They’re standing right next to you.” Leftwich Park is not the only place on Misawa Air Base that is rumored to be haunted. A hospital and morgue used to stand where the Misawa Club is located now. When the hospital was demolished, an underground bunker was discovered. Many have reported that each morning children’s ngerprints are found on the Club’s windows, no matter if they were just cleaned the night before. According to a former night duty manager, 18 | October 2019

lights are always left on somewhere in the Club because of superstitions. “The janitorial staff that come in to clean at night don't like the dark. The bartenders don't take out the trash in the dark.” She has experienced many strange things at the Club and told us about an incident that startled her and a coworker during a late-night training session, "there were handprints on the glass that we know weren't there before, small handprints, and the door was still swinging closed and all the lights were off!" She isn't the only Club employee to experience strange phenomena; former contracting ofcer Jimmy Tachikawa forgot his keys in a dining area after nishing up a band practice around midnight. He ran back in to grab them while the band waited for him by the front door. As he approached a stairwell near the pilot's lounge, he recalls: "I distinctly heard a woman’s voice and laughter." What Tachikawa heard sounded so real that he thought that there might be people still working in the basement but no one was present other than the band members. Krysten Hayes, a current event coordinator has the eeriest story; "I was walking in the back hallway behind Wild Weasels' and the O' Ballroom and out of one of the doorways, I saw out of the corner of my eye, a blonde haired guy in what I can only describe as a blue hospital gown, launch towards me and go through me and through the wall to my left. By the time I drove home, which took 15 minutes, I was still ice cold." Yikes, don't walk the Misawa Club halls alone! Base residents, north and main, have also had some strange things happen in their homes, with shadows and knocking being a main occurrence, to items moving, dogs staring or barking at seemingly nothing, and even feelings of being touched. One resident told us about her “nanny ghost.” Virginia Basquez, a north side resident says, “I have a nanny ghost, a 5-foot shadow. Whatever it is, it seems to want to hold my baby, but it obviously can’t. We didn’t really have any problems until my youngest was born. One night I was watching him sleep in his bassinet, from the bed, and a shadow moved across the room, hovered over him and it reached for him. I ipped out and it just oated away. If the baby wakes in the middle of the night I can hear foot steps running toward us. If I tell it I’ve got the baby or not to touch him, she leaves.” She’s even felt the nanny’s ngers touching her back! The nanny seems to want to help tidy up as well. “Whenever the kitchen is dirty, stuff starts ying off the counters,” says Basquez. “The upstairs unit has twin baby girls and she has reported toys moving in her house too. And our B unit has had things move around and her dogs keep staring at something moving around her house. The whole unit is haunted,” says Basquez. Not sure what is going on there, but it sounds like the nanny just wants to help out! Sanz Rihna says, “We lived in an 800 area house. As I was getting ready for bed, I was brushing my teeth in the main bathroom, when I saw an old Japanese lady coming up the stairs.” That is chilling! We would be out!

Even children at Sollars Elementary have had encounters with a ghost, but their ghost seems to be just a friendly schoolmate that lacks a body. According to some Sollars students, Billy was one of the rst kids to attend the school and at eight-years-old, he is rumored to have tripped and had an unfortunate mishap with an open sewer. He now hangs around with the kids as a shadow, stirring up a bit of innocent trouble and seeing if anyone needs a shadow hand. He likes to help with schoolwork, move pencils around, make them laugh, and tie shoelaces; sometimes together. He’s a fan of the swings and the room in the back of the cafeteria, that the kids say used to be his classroom. “I can tell the shape of his shadow, he doesn’t scare me, he’s a friend,” says a second grade Sollars student. “He’s shy and open at the same time and he doesn’t like people talking about him.” Billy sometimes hangs out in the principal’s ofce and “made him fall off of his chair one time when he moved it.” Such a prankster, that Billy is! Researching hauntings has been more fun than I could’ve imagined. You can research Misawa hauntings for yourself if you want to get into the spirit of Halloween and learn some history about our FSS facilities and Misawa Air Base. Whether you’ve had a haunting that has scared you, or a ghost that seems to be a comfort to help you out, ghosts are very real to many people and our base just may have some spirits from the past hanging around. Learning about our history can help us learn more about a nanny ghost or the children in the park. October brings an open mind to the spiritual realm and lots of fun when it comes to thinking about paranormal possibilities. Happy Halloween from the 35th Force Support Squadron! Do you believe in ghosts or have you had a paranormal experience here at Misawa? We want to hear your story! Head to https://35fss.com/misawahaunts/ to tell us about it!

Summer Hire Spotlight The Civilian Personnel Flight hosted the Summer Hire Program to help teens earn some extra money during their summer vacation. We found job opportunities for 19 students in base facilities like the 35th Medical Group, Public Affairs, Logistics Readiness Squadron and more! Brock McGlothan was employed at the pharmacy and learned about working for a federal agency. 1. Is this a field that you are interested in after being placed during the Summer Hire Program? If you had the opportunity to select your work location where would it be and why? Yes, I am interested in becoming a cardiac surgeon if I were to return stateside, but if I were to stay here in Japan, I would like to continue to work in pharmacy. I deﬁnitely would like to stay in the 35th Medical Group. It was a cool refreshing place to work indoors during the summer. The hospital is in a great location, and it’s easy to walk to the BX, Commissary and nearby vending machines. 2. What was the best part about the Summer Hire Program? The best part of the Summer Hire Program was getting to experience new things, meet new people and seeing how the pharmacy works. It’s been very fun! 3. What is something that you would say to your classmates about the 2019 Summer Hire Program? This is a great opportunity if you want to make some extra money during summer or if you are interested in a certain ﬁeld and have no experience. 4. Is there anything that you would change about your experience with the 2019 Summer Hire program? No. The Summer Hire Program is easy for kids who need work and experience and some extra money. This helps adults get an extra hand around the workplace.
