Hello Yongsan! USAG Yongsan celebrated the wonderful fall weather at Fall Festival 2017, Saturday, Sept. 23, starting at noon and culminating in fireworks at sundown. We also the Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans 50th Anniversary Commemoration ceremony. We thank everyone for coming out and joining us in honoring the service and sacrifice of these veterans at this special event. Road work along Eighth Army Road has been delayed, so please be mindful of detours and strictly-enforced speed limits (15 MPH). Enclosed is a revised schedule for the three phases of road work (pages 5-7). Fall is a great time for outdoor activities. If you are a motorcyclist, please see the enclosed information about motorcycle safety and training available online and at no charge (pages 8-9). Ensure you have the proper gear and are aware of your surroundings at all times. Grilling is another popular activity these days, but the dry leaves of autumn can put the garrison at greater risk of outdoor fires. Please use caution outdoors and indoors. In preparation for Fire Prevention Week Oct. 8-14, your on-post housing may have already been inspected for smoke alarms. If not, please see the attached schedule for your planning purpose (page 10). This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is “Every Second Counts, Plan 2 Ways Out!” Enclosed is a schedule of events designed to engage everyone in the community on this safety issue, especially children (pages 11-13). Most of the activities take place at or around the fire station so please come out and help keep Yongsan safe. This year, the Korean equivalent of the Thanksgiving holidays takes place during the first week of October. Chuseok is a time for families to come together all across the peninsula and spans the longest number of consecutive days off in recent history, Sept. 29 – Oct. 10. Please see the enclosures on safety and road conditions during this long holiday week (pages 14-18). Traffic outside of the city can become dangerously congested, so please stay off the roads during this time. For your convenience, we also included a list of revised operational hours for on-post facilities and services for this time period (pages 19-23). October is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The USAG Yongsan Family Advocacy Program is pleased to host the Purple Gala and special guest speaker Mildred D. Muhammad Oct. 6 at the Main Post Club (page 24). Join us as we honor victims of domestic violence and celebrate the lives of survivors. The 2017 Combined Federal Campaign Overseas kicks off Oct. 16 for two months (pages 25-29). Our nation has experienced many tragedies with the recent onslaught of natural disasters in the form of storms and wildfires. Please take this opportunity to give to the CFC and answer the call by those in need of financial assistance during these difficult times. The Area II Employee Assistance Program now publishes a newsletter to share information on how we can be well and productive in our everyday jobs. Please see the enclosed first addition and contact ACS at 738-5294 with questions or feedback. Sharing information is how we keep our community engaged, so please follow USAG Yongsan on Facebook or Twitter for the latest updates on services, entertainment provided by our Family and MWR programs, infrastructure and security. Many more changes are in store for Area II, and staying informed is how we keep – Yongsan Ready, Yongsan Strong.

What is Chusok?Chusok, also known as Korean Thanksgiving Day, is an important holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. On the days before and after Chuseok Koreans return to their ancestral hometowns to pay respects and celebrate with family. The travel causes one of the biggest traffic jams of the year as people often take the roads to reach the areas outside of Seoul.

Safety Hazards and Concerns: Understand the elevated risk of traffic hazards during this time period, major intersections/highways will

be extremely congested. Monitor the road conditions and if travelling outside of Seoul be prepared to be stopped in traffic for

LONG periods of time. When making travel arrangements, plan ahead and conduct Preventative Maintenance Checks and

Services (PMCS) prior to departure. Keep an Emergency Kit in your vehicle. Look for alternative methods of travel such as Public Transportation (Train, Subway or Bus). Minimize all tactical vehicle movement during the holiday period.

H ave you seen the term “mindfulness” online, off-line, and in the

health news? Mindfulness is an approach to well-being and health that entails learn-ing how to pay attention in the moment and gain improved self-awareness using techniques like slow breathing, focused con-centration, and meditation to relax, gain control over anxiety and depression, deal with fears, reduce stress and pain, and improve concentration. Mindfulness helps you feel centered, helps you slow down, makes you less reactive to the stresses of life, and helps you be more productive. Mindfulness is gain-ing mainstream acceptance in medical school training to help professionals understand its use in supporting the treatment of many medical conditions. For more information, check out the following books: Mindfulness for Dummies and/or Mindfulness: A practical guide to finding peace in a frantic world.

T he Employee Assistance Pro-gram is a job-based program designed to 1)Help DA/DoD

employees, military retirees and fam-ily members in identifying and resolv-ing personal problems that may af-fect their job performance and/or well-being. 2)Assist management in ad-dressing productivity issues. 3)Promote installation work/life/wellness programs.4)Conduct mandatory drug and alcohol training for DA/DoD civilian em-ployees, two hours per year.

R ed Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. It generally takes

place the last full week in October, with the weekends before and after as appro-priate celebration dates. This year Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated October 23-31, 2017. Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and education and a personal commitment to live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of drug free America. Most importantly, it commemorates the ultimate sacrifice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at the hands of drug traffickers in Mexico while fighting the battle against illegal drugs to keep our country and children safe. Please join us at this year’s Red Ribbon Proclamation Ceremo-ny to be held October 23rd at the School Aged Center at 1600.

I am sure you’re aware of the impact adult coloring has made within the last couple of years. How could you not? Book stores are overflowing with all sorts of adult coloring

books to include different styles and themes. Whether you’re into fantasy or forests, gardens or oceans, Disney or Harry Pot-ter, there is something for just about everyone! But what is it with coloring and how can it help me relieve stress? Recent studies show coloring allows us to switch off our brains from other thoughts and focus on the moment, thus blocking nega-tive thoughts that may cause stress. Want to try this stress re-lieving pass time? Classes are currently held in the USAG-Yongsan library the last Thursday of every month from 10:30am to 11:30am. See what coloring can do for you!
