Passing on the EOD mission in Afghanistan
AIRMAN 1ST CLASS SEAN D. SMITH | MINOT AIR FORCE BASE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
MINOT AIR FORCE
BASE, N.D. -The Air Force explosive
ordnance disposal mission
isn’t over in Afghanistan,
even as Air Force personnel
withdraw. Insurgents are
still active, and improvised
explosive devices and
unexploded ordnance remain
an immediate threat to
people living in contested
territory.
American EOD specialists
have been training Afghani
forces for years to prepare
them for the drawdown,
and 5th Bomb Wing EOD
team member Senior Airman
Andrew Glynn has assisted
in those efforts personally.
Glynn returned with the
last of the Air Force EOD
to pull out of Afghanistan,
but not before making sure
that the EOD mission was
in good hands. He worked
directly with the Afghani
National Police EOD in
Kandahar, helping them not
only with EOD expertise, but
in building the infrastructure
necessary for the local forces
to get the materials they need
to complete the mission, like
equipment and explosives.
“The captain of the ANP
unit I was working with
had a ton of experience, but
he had no real secondary
leadership,” Glynn said. “He
was the only guy handling
these IEDs. If something
happened to him, the unit
was left with nothing.”
Glynn and his unit built
a program to improve the
process.
“We basically set up a
school for them, to train
more police for EOD work,”
Glynn said. “You have to
have EOD guys teaching
EOD guys. Their lives are on
the line, so they have to learn
the material correctly.”
Knowledge and training
was only half the battle.
Equipment is also key to
mission success, Glynn
explained.
“We had to get them the
school, and we had to get
them supplies,” he said.
“That was the hard part.”
5th BW EOD Flight Chief
MSgt. John McCoy said
that Afghan logistics can
pose a major challenge to
units who are heavily reliant
on equipment. Issues with
the flow of supplies can
mean mission stoppage. In
the EOD world, that can
translate to lives lost, which
places the importance of
equipment on par with that
of training.
The ultimate goal was
to build a solid enough
infrastructure for both
training and materials that
the ANP EOD personnel
could be self-sustaining after
American forces withdrew
from Afghanistan. The key
was quality training and
making sure the channels
were open for ANP to get the
materials they needed to do
the job.
“We were successful in
setting up everything we
went there to set up,” Glynn
said. “It’s up to them now.”

Civil Engineering Squadron explosive ordnance disposal specialist,
poses for a photo on Minot Air Force
Base, N.D., Dec. 18, 2014. Glynn
was among the last of the Air Force
EOD to pull out of Afghanistan,

expertise, but with building the infrastructure necessary for the local
forces to get the materials they need
to complete the mission, like equipment and explosives.

Bright Holidays for 2014
AIRMAN 1ST CLASS LAUREN PITST | MINOT AIR FORCE BASE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
MINOT AIR FORCE
BASE, N.D. -- There’s no
place like home for the
holidays. But for some
servicemembers, home can
be a world away. Between
different duty stations and
cost of living, it can be
difficult for young Airmen
to budget for Yuletide trips.
However, a group of Minot
Air Force Base officers
have started a new tradition
to relieve some of this
financial burden during the
holidays.
Operation: Bright
Holidays, a program
originally started at
Barksdale Air Force Base,
Louisiana, will make its
sophomore appearance
at Minot for the 2014
holiday season thanks to
the Company Grade Officer
Council, made up of both
the 5th Bomb Wing and
91st Missile Wing officers.
The Airmen raised money
from downtown businesses
and personal donations
totaling $3,945 - which will
surprise six Airmen with a
trip home.
“Everyone should be with
their families on holidays,”
said Capt. Richard
Landsverk, 5th Operations
Support Squadron weather
flight commander and
CGOC member. As a priorenlisted Airman, Landsverk
says he understands the
financial difficulty young
Airmen can face.
“To be able to help an
Airman get home to their
family and give them that
opportunity is amazing,”
Landsverk said.
For Landsverk, all the
planning and finding
funds is hard work, but
the motivation comes
from seeing the look on an
Airman’s face when they
find out they’re going home.
“We see their stories and
we know their issues,”
Landsverk explained. “But
when you actually see the
Airman, it’s real.”
Luckily for Landsverk,
the look of surprise and
happiness was twice as
rewarding when the CGOC
awarded two Airmen
from the 5th Maintenance
Squadron their flights home.
Staff Sgt. Jefferey Rutledge,
5th MXS hydraulic
specialist, and Airman 1st
Class Houston Williams,
5th MXS crew chief, were
unsuspecting when they got
the news.
“I didn’t know the Air
Force did things like this,”
said Rutledge, who said he
thinks the Bright Holidays
program is a great way for
the Air Force to give back
to its Airmen. “I wasn’t
planning on being able to
go home; now I can, and it’s
very exciting.”
Williams, who is almost
2,000 miles from his
home in Wilmington,
North Carolina, was
oblivious to his name
being put in for the
award, but plans on
surprising his whole
family with the news.
“I had no idea this
was happening,”
Williams said. “It
was a surprise for me,
so it will definitely be
a surprise to them.”
Now, with another
six Airmen able to
reunite with their
families, the CGOC
members prepare to
start the cycle over
again for next year motivated by helping
their Wingmen.
“I love the Air
Force, and one of
the reasons why
is because of the
wingman concept,”
Landsverk said.
“From the shirt, to
the supervisor, to
putting the Airman’s
name in - it’s the
epitome of the
wingman concept. If
a supervisor didn’t
care, their Airmen
wouldn’t win.”
Airman 1st Class Houston
Williams, 5th Maintenance
Squadron crew chief, reacts
to hearing that he has been
selected for Operation:
Bright Holidays from Capt.
Richard Landsverk 5th Operations Support Squadron
weather flight commander
and Company Grade Officer Council member. The
program is designed to
help Airmen get home for
the holidays. The program,
started by the CGOC, began at Minot Air Force Base
in 2013, and assists Airmen
who may not be able to afford the trip on their own.

That tired argument for balance and moderation
AIRMAN 1ST CLASS SEAN D. SMITH | MINOT AIR FORCE BASE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
M
INOT AIR
FORCE
BASE, N.D. -I’ve never used
a designated driver.
I’ve never asked someone
for a ride home from a bar.
I throw away all the SAFE
ride and anti-driving under
the influence literature that
people give me.
I don’t disdain this stuff
because I’m a ruthless
alcoholic that loves to drink
and drive - I just don’t go to
bars much.
I sit through these DUI
briefs and lectures like I’m
from another planet. They
aren’t relevant to my life
- and I wonder why more
people aren’t boring like me.
It gets me thinking.
We’ve all heard the main
arguments against alcohol
abuse and drunk driving a
thousand times. Your family,
your safety, your career, your
integrity - and so on.
Those are all good reasons
to be responsible, but they
don’t always resonate with
the audience.
Maybe there are some
incentives that are even
closer to home.
Americans cite a lot of
reasons for being unhappy.
A couple of the big ones
are body image and money
problems. Which is to say
that a lot of people don’t like
being fat, and they don’t like
being broke - but these are
both things that we often do
to ourselves.
And drinking - especially
at bars - does not help us
with either one of those
things. So, as much fun as
it might be, it’s inherently
counterproductive.
Alcohol has calories.
Lots of them. I’m not
here to preach against the
drinking itself; that would be
hypocritical, and Prohibition
taught us there isn’t much
point. It’s just a reminder
that, on top of everything
else, the beer in your hand is
also putting on pounds. You’d
be surprised how many
people like to get wasted all
the time, then act surprised at
the tape test.
Bars are fun. It’s not about
the drinks; it’s the culture,
the atmosphere - that’s a
common reason for why
people go. And here at Minot,
people are looking for ways
to get out, have fun and
socialize.
But bars can also be
expensive. Expensive habits
make for bad finances. Bad
finances create stress. Stress
makes people want to drink.
At the very least, drinking at
home can be cheaper.
If you hit the bar once a
week with a modest $30 tab,
that’s $120 a month and over
$1,400 a year. That’s enough
to start a retirement account,
and let’s be real: If you’re
having a really good time,
you’re probably spending
more than thirty bucks.
Do you have any savings?
I don’t know about you, but
I like waking up to financial
security a lot more than a
hangover. Like I said, I’m
boring.
There’s no law that says
that fun can only occur in
bars, but sometimes it seems
like a lot of Airmen feel that
way. Like they’re obligated
to go out, like it’s the only
Eyes in the skies
MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D. -- A UH-N1 Helicopter flies over Minot Air Force Base, N.D.,
Dec. 11, 2014. The UH-1N is a light-lift utility helicopter used to support Air Force Global
Strike Command missile wings and groups, Air Force District of Columbia, Air Force Survival
School training, Air Advisory Operations, test and evaluation at Eglin AFB, Fla., and U.S.
Pacific Command, as well as other agencies.

option. There are good times
to be had that way. But
there’s also a lot of vomit,
empty wallets, DUIs, STDs
and regrets.
We all have different ideas
of what’s fun and healthy. If
bars are a regular part of your
life, at least consider stepping
back to see what you’re
really taking away from that
habit.
Reducing alcohol intake
and alcohol-related spending
has short and long-term
benefits to finances, personal
health and career. Even
morale; we have enough to
deal with without the regrets
of what we did when we
were wasted. It’s amazing,
the problems we create for
ourselves through drinking.
Do we not have enough
problems already? Paying
a lot of money to do it just
seems like adding insult to
injury.

ear EarthTalk:
Do you have
any tips for
helping me
get my kids
involved in environmental
protection advocacy? -Jeanine Black, Charlotte, NC
There’s no time like the
present to teach kids to
respect their environment
and be willing to stand up
to protect it. Of course,
any good environmental
education starts at home:
parents should always keep
in mind that they are role
models for their kids, and
should act responsibly.
And most schools today
incorporate issues of
sustainability into their
curricula. But kids who
want to do more can sync up
with one of any number of
nonprofits focused on getting
young people involved with
volunteering and advocacy
on behalf of the environment.
One of the best places
to start is Youth for
Environmental Sanity
(YES!), a nonprofit that
runs a national speakers’
and workshop tour around
the U.S. and beyond as well
as summer camps devoted
to teaching kids how to
take action on behalf of the
environment. The group also
runs JAMs, bringing together
“young changemakers”
from local communities to
brainstorm ideas for solutions
to local, national and
international environmental
problems. The YES! website
features information on a
wide range of environmental
topics as well as videos
focusing on organizing and
coalition building around
shared environmental goals.
Another great resource is
the Center for Biological
Diversity’s Generation Wild
program, designed to help
kids learn about and help
protect local wildlife. The
program’s website offers
kids tips on things like how
to write an effective and
compelling “letter to the
editor” for publication in a
local newspaper, creating a
backyard wildlife sanctuary,
encouraging teachers and
schools to undertake projects
that help local wildlife, and
spreading the word via social
media.
Meanwhile, Earthforce,
Inc. helps kids ages 10-14
develop citizenship skills
and address both local and
national environmental
problems. Participants
get hands-on, real-world
opportunities to learn about
the issues and develop skills
that can help them become
lifelong leaders in addressing
them. Another leading youth
environmental group is Tree
Musketeers, which empowers
kids to use innovative
approaches in launching
their own environmental
campaigns where they live.
Through its Young Executive
program, the group provides
resources to help kids learn
the practical, logistical
and personal skills to lead
environmental actions and
spread the word about the
need to live more sustainable
lifestyles.
Yet another nonprofit
vehicle that helps kids get
active is SustainUS, which
focuses on sustainable
development. Its Agents
of Change program sends
youth delegations to United
Nations conferences on
climate change, sustainable
development, women’s issues
and biological diversity—and
its Lead Now Fellowship
trains and supports young
people in becoming leaders
in advancing sustainable
development.
Last but not least,
TakingItGlobal is an
international network of
young people working to
tackle global environmental
challenges. Its Digital
Youth Engagement, Global
Education and Social
Innovation programs
focus on creating the next
generation of environmental
leaders around the world.
Young people can also get
involved in environmental
protection efforts right
in their own backyards
even without the support
of a non-profit. Examples
include organizing a
local e-waste recycling
drive, asking schools and
businesses in the area to
refrain from using noxious
chemicals for landscaping,
and coordinating carpools
to reduce traffic-related
greenhouse gas emissions.
Likewise, kids can learn a
lot by finding a local green
group and volunteering to
help canvass for funds, cleanup a beach or waterway, or
lobby local officials to take
sustainability into account.
Indeed, our common future
may well depend on it.

N
orth Dakotans don't
let cold and winter
get them down, and
neither should you. Those
intent on maintaining that
beach body for summer can
head to the gym in the colder

great outdoor recreation to
diversify that winter routine.
Cross-Country Skiing and

freight dog sledding, plus the
training, nutritional needs and
health care for these amazing
athletes. Join the Prairie Isle
sled dogs for a “paw-tastic”
experience at Red Willow

Downhill Skiing
You won't find the Rocky
Mountains' famous ski
resorts here, but you will
find downhill ski areas that
provide a lengthy season at
Huff Hills, Bottineau Winter
Park, Bears Den Mountain
Ski Area and Frostfire Ski
Resort.
Ice Fishing
Anglers will find excellent
ice fishing opportunities
on North Dakota's lakes
and rivers, as yellow perch,
northern pike and walleye
bite through the winter. Ice
fishing is especially popular
at Devils Lake, a worldrenowned perch fishery, as
well as Icelandic and Lake
Metigoshe state parks, and on
Lake Sakakawea and Lake
Audubon.
Sledding and Skating
Whether you crave the
nostalgic experience of
skating at the local pond or
steering the hottest toboggan
to hit the snow, you can find
it in North Dakota. All major
cities have indoor skating
rinks, and most communities
have outdoor rinks and
sledding hills.
Snowmobiling
There are more than
2,800 miles of groomed
snowmobile trails enough
for you? If not, there are
several hundred miles of
less developed trails to
explore. Well-developed
trails lead through the forests
of the Turtle Mountains and
Pembina Gorge, the scenic
valleys of the Sheyenne,
Missouri and Red rivers, the
Badlands and the endless
shorelines of Devils Lake and
Lake Sakakawea.
The Lake Metigoshe
area and Turtle Mountains
are excellent for all winter
activities.
PRAIRIE ADVENTURES
BY PATRICIA STOCKDILL
“In utilizing and conserving the natural resources of the Nation, the one characteristic more essential than any other is foresight…The conservation of our natural resources and their proper
use constitute the fundamental problem which
underlies almost every other problem of our national life.”
– Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, National Editorial
Association address, Jamestown, Va., June 10,
1907.
As 2014 winds down, it’s
time for those annual year-inreview stories. We’ve all seen
them, read them, and heard
them.
However, let’s look at
2014 from a critter perspective, those things with wings
and things, fins and fur:
If you’re a deer, you’re
probably still wondering
where some of your brethren
went over the last few years.
True, some areas are seeing increased deer numbers,
which is good news if you
love to watch wildlife, deer in
particular, hunt deer, and eat
venison.
Weather will continue driving white-tailed and mule
deer populations but habitat
definitely is in the co-pilot
seat.
There is only X amount of
land on the planet. That isn’t
going to change.
More competition for land
means habitat will remain a
serious issue, if not in the immediate future but certainly
down the road.
That’s not a criticism of
any one entity, it’s simply reality.
But back to deer and 2014:
Some areas in North Dakota
are enjoying a few more deer
on the landscape and last
year’s winter, as brutally cold
as it was, at least didn’t come
with mountains of snow.
Time will tell if the trend of
an improving deer population
continues.
From a sage grouse or
prairie chicken perspective,
2014 continues a trend that in
their world is simply the pits.
Both species – gallinaceous birds and members of
the grouse family – don’t fare
well when spring nesting conditions come with cold, wet
weather. That’s OK for ducks
but not grouse.
Sage grouse haven’t dealt
as much with wet, cold spring
weather inhibiting nesting
conditions as their eastern
brethren, the prairie chicken.
It’s possible West Nile Virus (WNV) played at least a
partial role in the demise of
sage grouse, though, which
is carried by mosquitoes. And
mosquitoes thrive in wet conditions.
Unfortunately, the crystal
ball doesn’t look stunningly
clear for either species, even
though 2014 was drier (other
than August downpours) than
recent years and provided
better nesting conditions
for sharp-tailed grouse and
pheasants.
Sadly, 2014 is a critical
year for North Dakota’s bighorn sheep. It started out with
what could have and should
have been some of the best
news in years - a transplant of
some of the most majestic bighorns in North America from
Alberta, Canada brought into
the state through an intense,
cooperative international effort of a myriad of agencies.
However, in August and
September it tumbled with
about the worst, gut-wrenching situation possible - a
pneumonia outbreak.
Alberta sheep died, as
did sheep born and raised in
North Dakota and others in
the state that originated from
another pristine location,
Montana’s Missouri River
breaks.
Hopefully the die-off has
run its course and wildlife
managers can once again
bring in additional amazing
Alberta bighorns once it is
determined pneumonia isn’t
an issue. In the meantime,
look for continued monitoring
of North Dakota’s bighorns,
a native species that plays an
integral part of the Badlands
landscape.
As with people, 2014
brought ups and downs for
North Dakota’s wildlife.
Let’s work towards making
2015 a good year – for people and wildlife, alike.

also be done by hand though. Shape into 48 (1-inch)
balls; place in single layer in shallow pan. Freeze for
at least 20 minutes. They can be frozen for longer. Dip
balls in melted coating (see note); I do this by using
a fork and tapping the fork on the bowl of my candy
coating to remove some of the extra coating. Place in
shallow waxed paper-lined pan, allowing excess coating
to pool at bottom of each ball. Decorate with remaining

coating to adhere the hat to the head. Refrigerate 1

Veterans honored during
wreath laying ceremony
SENIOR AIRMAN STEPHANIE MORRIS | MINOT AIR FORCE BASE PUBLIC AFFAIRS
MINOT AIR FORCE
BASE, N.D. -- A gentle
breeze carried the smell of
balsam and pine through
the air at Rosehill Memorial
Park Cemetery in Minot,
North Dakota, as spectators
huddled close to each other
during a ceremony. The
crowd is silent and solemn
as they stand in a "u"shape
around several ceremonial
wreaths adorned with vibrant
red ribbons and flags for each
branch of the military.
The gathered masses came
together Dec. 13, 2014,
National Wreaths Across
America Day, to remember
and honor approximately 235
service members buried at
Rosehill and 19 at Roosevelt
Park Cemetary by laying
wreaths at their headstones.
"Our goal this year was to
make the local community
aware," said Master Sgt.
Leonard Laporte, Minot
Air Force Base WAA
coordinator. "We wanted
to remind the community
that thinking about veterans
should not be reserved for
Memorial Day and Veterans
Day. Everyone should take a
couple of minutes out of their
busy schedules to remember
those who have protected our
right to celebrate the holidays
as we choose."
Laporte explained the
ceremony was such a large
undertaking that his group
thought it would take three
years to reach their goal of
placing over 250 wreaths
during the event. Instead,
they blew that number out
of the water, exceeding their
goal by over 100 wreath,
even though this was the first
time Minot had hosted the
event.
Three hundred twelve
wreaths were placed at
Rosehill and Roosevelt Park,
an additional 57 "personal
wreaths" were purchased and
laid by individuals on graves
of their loved ones. Nearly
half of those were sponsored
by a veterans group and went
to Mohall North Dakota to
celebrate their veterans.
In addition to the
wreaths that were placed
at cemeteries in Minot,
people across the country
and overseas, at nearly 1,000
locations, also placed live
balsam remembrance wreaths
on the headstones of fallen
veterans.
The event was made
possible due to the
large amount of service
members from the base
and other organizations
who volunteered to assist
with placing the wreaths on
monuments and grave sites.
According to Laporte,
approximately 40 active duty
members volunteered their
time and service to make the
event a success.
"When I first heard about
Wreaths Across America,
I thought was an awesome
event. It made me happy that
we were doing this as one big
military family to remember
those who came before and
gave so much," said Airman
1st Class Rebekah Oyerbides,
5th Medical Group mental
health technician.
Oyerbides stated that,
though many of her family
members had served in the
military, she was fortunate
enough to have grown up
with them in her life. She
explained that knowing many
veterans' families have their
time with their loved ones cut
short made her grateful that
she had been able to enjoy
the company of her family.
In addition to active duty
military members and local
volunteers, there were also
a small number of veterans
present who laid wreaths
at the graves of those who
shared their service.
One such veteran from
Velva North Dakota, Melvin
Venstad, sergeant of arms for
the Post 39 American Legion
and Veterans of Foreign
Wars, spent a great deal of
time locating and placing
wreaths on the headstones of
Army veterans.
"Four of my uncles were
in World War I and another
four were in World War II
-- and that's just on my side
of the family," Venstad said
gesturing to his wife who had
more than 20 veterans in her
family.
Staff Sgt. Kelsey Villarreal,
5th Maintenance Group
quality insurance inspector,
expressed that she attended
the event on behalf of the Air
Force Sergeants Association
because she felt it was a
great way to honor Minot's
veterans.
"This is a good cause, and
I wanted to be a part of it,"
Villarreal said, her hands
turning pink from the cold,
as she remained at the site to
attach strings to the wreaths
to keep them from blowing
away long after many of
the spectators and other
volunteers had left.
Laporte explained that he
volunteered to help plan the
event due to a family history
filled with relatives who had
served in the military. He said
that, as the son of a veteran,
he wanted to do his part to
establish a community event
that honors veterans, past and
present.
"I want everyone to
remember and honor the
veterans before us, we need
to teach the next generation
the value of freedom and
the selfless sacrifices of
those veterans," Laporte
said. "I was familiar with
this program back when it
was still called the 'Arlington
Project,' and I felt it was a
very powerful way for Minot
to remember our vets."
Next year, the group's
goal is to help spread the
event even farther to new
communities in the area.
"We are the third location
to be registered in North
Dakota after Mandan
and Fargo," Laporte said.
"Interestingly, we've already
been contacted by two
organizations about holding
their own WAA ceremonies
here in the surrounding
communities. In January, we
will start our planning for
next year's event."
For more information about
the Wreaths Across America
program, or to volunteer your
time to assist with planning
for next year contact Master
Sgt. Leonard Laporte at 701240-4387.

MAGIC CITY DISCOVERY CENTER
Give 360, a giving circle of the Minot Area
Community Foundation, has been working to bring
a children’s museum to Minot. Through a recent
partnership formed with the Dakota Territory Air
Museum, Give 360 has been able to acquire space
within the Dakota Territory Air Museum’s facility
to house the beginnings of a children’s museum,
which has been named the Magic City Discovery
Center: Museum without Walls. The Magic City
AREA HAPPENINGS
Discovery Center will be open throughout the
months of November-March, with exact hours of
operation to be announced soon. According to the
Association of Children’s Museums, it takes an
average of 5-7 years to open a full-scale children’s
museum; therefore, Give360 has decided to start
small by creating a “Museum without Walls” with
the help of the Dakota Territory Air Museum
where activities and play dates will be organized
to acquaint the community with what a children’s
museum is all about, which is learning through
interactive play. November-March: Thu - Sat: 10:00
am - 1:00 pm, 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm Sun: 12:00 pm 5:00 pm.
