Campaign encourages drivers to ‘buckle up’ Directorate of Emergency Services

The Fort Huachuca Provost Marshal Office, or PMO, Directorate of Emergency Services, will join thousands of law enforcement officers, across 50 states, in participating in the national 2013 “Click It or Ticket” enforcement mobilization, May 20 to June 2.

The PMO Department of the Army civilian and military police are part of the national team stepping up high-visibility enforcement in an effort to save more lives and cracking down on motorists not wearing their seat belts.

More motorists need to get the message - wearing seat belts saves thousands of lives across America each year. While this year’s “Click It or Ticket” enforcement mobilization runs for about two weeks, motorists will know officers are out enforcing seat belt laws year-round.

During the 2012 mobilization, more than 100 tickets were issued on Fort Huachuca alone. Seat belt violations on post are $50 plus a $25 processing fee.

Seat belts saved an estimated 11,949 lives nationwide, in 2011 alone. Seventy-seven percent of passenger vehicle occupants thrown from their vehicles were killed in fatal crashes throughout that year. However, only one percent of crash victims who were buckled up were totally ejected from their vehicles, compared

to 31 percent of those who were unbelted.

Motorists are 75 percent less likely to die in a rollover crash if they are buckled up. High-visibility enforcement is credited with increasing the national seat belt usage rate from 58 percent in 1994 to an estimated, observed usage rate, of 86 percent in 2012 - an all-time high.

In 2011, of the 21,253 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed in motor vehicle crashes nationwide, 52 percent were not wearing seat belts at the time of their fatal crashes.

Younger motorists - young men in particular - are most at risk. Among 18 - 34 year old teens and young adults killed in fatal crashes in 2011, 64 percent were not buckled up at the time of the crash - the highest percentage of any age group. Motorists must buckle up every time they go out, both day and night.

The national “Click It or Ticket” mobilization is considered effective at increasing seat belt use and credited with many lives saved over the past years, but PMO officials say there is still much more for everyone to do. The law enforcement officers will conduct high-visibility enforcement, and everyone must encourage each other to buckle up. Collectively, these actions should aid in saving many lives in the United States.

Click it or Ticket!

Scott VaSey Staff Sgt. Nicholas Young, an instructor/writer with Company D, 2-13th Aviation Regiment, prepares for a drive by buckling his seat belt, the first thing drivers and passengers should do when they enter a vehicle. Seat belts have been proven to save lives and their use is mandatory. The Fort Huachuca Provost Marshal Office, Directorate of Emergency Services, will join thousands of law enforcement officers, across 50 states, in participating in the national 2013 “Click It or Ticket” enforcement mobilization, May 20 to June 2.

AER campaign continues strong, donations accepted year-round

By Maranda Flynn Staff Writer

Donations are still being accepted for the Fort Huachuca Army Emergency Relief Campaign that began on March 1 and will end Wednesday.

Since 1942, the Army Emergency Relief program, or AER, has provided emergency financial assistance to military personnel during unexpected times of need. Those eligible to receive this assistance include active duty Soldiers, their Family members, retirees, widows and orphans.

“We don’t want our Soldiers on the street so we look for the areas that we are going to assist the service members in to ensure that the quality of life remains there for them,” said Teresa Spencer, Army

Emergency Relief specialist. “As it is, their jobs are already stressful - lots of deploying, possibility of deployment, maybe new babies on the way. Life happens at unexpected times, and that is what we call an unexpected emergency.”

So far, the Fort Huachuca community has donated $90,000 and Spencer is optimistic that the $100,000 goal can be reached. Even though the campaign officially ends Wednesday, donations are accepted throughout the year.

When asked how she felt about the campaign’s progress, Spencer said, “I think people expected, this year, for the campaign to not do so well because of [possible] furloughs, sequestrations, drawbacks and the economy’s situation ... but I like a challenge.

I believe that this year is going to be the best cam-

paign out of all the seven years I have been here simply because people understand crisis.”

From installations across the world, all AER donations are submitted to one mutual pot. Fort Huachuca alone has distributed $111,191 in financial assistance to military members and their Families this year, thus far, to include both Army personnel and those from other services attached to this post.

Each unit on Fort Huachuca has a designated AER coordinator who can assist with setting up donation allotments. Donations are also accepted on the website, www.AERHQ.org, or in person at Fort Huachuca’s Army Community Service, Building 50010.

For more information, call Army Community Service, 533.5312, or visit www.AERHQ.org.

May is National Military Appreciation Month

By U.S. Army Installation Management Command Public Affairs

SAN ANTONIO - The President of the United States has proclaimed May as National Military Appreciation Month to remind Americans of the importance of the U.S. Armed Forces in history.

It is a symbol of unity, honoring today’s military men and women, veterans and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom.

The U.S. Army Installation Management Command salutes those who serve – their strength, commitment and unwavering service to this nation. This year’s theme is “The United States Armed Forces: The Strength of the Red, White and Blue.”

Throughout this month-long observance, which is focused on the theme of strength, IMCOM is highlighting events promoting fitness and team building – some of the pillars of resiliency, according to organizers.

National Military Appreciation Month is an opportunity for Army leadership at every level to raise awareness of service members’ contributions both on and off post, as well as deepen partnerships that support resilience and enhance the total wellness of the force.

For additional information about National Military Appreciation Month, visit www.nmam.org.

SVRHC joins RegionalCare Hospital Partners Plans moving forward for construction of new 100-bed regional hospital

By Jeff Atwood RegionalCare Hospital Partners

Sierra Vista - Officials from Sierra Vista Regional Health Center, or SVRHC, and RegionalCare Hospital Partners announced May 1 they have completed the transaction for a long-term hospital lease and the construction of a new 100-bed regional hospital. Officials from both organizations signed the documents April 30, and the deal became official at 12:01 a.m. on May 1.

“This is a very exciting day for Sierra Vista Regional Health Center and the people of this region,” said Bruce Dockter, chairman of the board of trustees for SVRHC. “I am confident that RegionalCare Hospital Partners is the right partner to take healthcare in our community to the next level. They are committed to building a new medical facility, maintaining local control of the quality and delivery of services, and working closely with the hospital’s physicians and staff.

We believe this new partnership will ensure access to high-quality care for the people of Sierra Vista and all of southeast Arizona for years to come. “ Dockter added, “Planning is already underway for the new 100-bed hospital which will be on the 70-acre ‘East Campus’ tract of land already owned by SVRHC. Groundbreaking is slated for later this year, and construction is expected to be completed in 18 months from the time of the groundbreaking. During the past several weeks, architects and planners from Gould, Turner Group Inc., have been working with hospital employees, medical staff representatives and local leaders to develop initial plans for the new facility.”

Margaret Hepburn, Sierra Vista Regional Health Center president and CEO said, “I am so thankful to the hospital employees and our board of trustees for all their hard work during the past few months. Everyone has truly gone ‘above and beyond’ in preparation for the transaction while at the same time remaining focused on meeting the needs of our patients and their families.”

As part of their agreement with the SVRHC hospital board of trustees, RegionalCare Hospital Partners has committed to make significant investments in the hospital and the community. In addition to the new 100-bed hospital, RegionalCare has committed $11

million in capital investments, many of which will begin immediately. This investment will provide for several important projects, including the addition of cardiac catherization services, and will help maintain a high level of quality care and patient safety while the new hospital is under construction. RegionalCare has also committed $18 million to recruit more than 25 physicians over the next seven years to supplement the existing medical staff.

Martin Rash, executive chairman of RegionalCare Hospital Partners, said, “We are honored to have been chosen by the board of SVRHC as the partner for the future of healthcare in southeast Arizona. Together, we have the resources to meet the challenges facing all community hospitals across the country. We look forward to working with the hospital board, medical staff, hospital employees and community officials to find the ways to provide the quality care and access to services

this community deserves.”

TRICARE eases prime authorization rules for West Region beneficiaries TRICARE Management Activity

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – TRICARE West Region Prime enrollees referred for specialty care from April 1 up to May 18 do not need authorization before seeking care. The authorization requirement has been temporarily waived due to delays by UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans in processing referrals.

TRICARE Management Activity, or TMA, leadership acted to waive the authorization requirement for TRICARE covered services, reducing the impact of delays on Prime enrollees while UnitedHealthcare takes action to reduce backlogs since it began delivering health care support to the West Region on April 1.

During the waiver period, West Region Prime enrollees seeking specialty care should request two items from their primary care manager, or PCM: a paper copy of

their referral (or ask that it be sent via fax to the specialist); and a copy of a waiver letter from UnitedHealthcare authorizing the care. The letter can also be downloaded from the provider section of www.uhcmilitarywest.com.

As always, beneficiaries who feel they are in need of emergency care should call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. TRICARE Prime enrollees must contact their PCM within 24 hours or the next business day after receiving emergency care.

The waiver does not apply to beneficiaries using TRICARE Standard, TRICARE For Life or Prime enrollees with the U.S. Family Health Plan, which is available in some areas of Washington state.

Since the start of the new West Region health care support contract on April 1, UnitedHealthcare’s website and call center have experienced heavy usage and now, referral and authorization delays.

TMA officials are working closely with UnitedHealthcare to address issues, reduce backlogs and ensure beneficiaries get the quality health care and service they deserve. TMA leadership is closely monitoring UnitedHealthcare efforts to improve their customer service.

West Region beneficiaries can get more information and sign up for updates at www.tricare.mil/westtransition.

Story and photo by Gabrielle Kuholski Staff Writer

May is the Month of the Military Family. To kick off the celebration on the first Friday of the month, May 3, Soldiers treated their spouses to a date night for Spouse Appreciation Day, hosted by the Fort Huachuca Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Directorate at the Thunder Mountain Activity Centre. This year’s theme was “A Tribute to the Military Spouse.”

Attendees were treated to a buffet consisting of various finger foods, a cash bar and live DJ music.

Throughout the night, spouses had the opportunity to win prizes.

Guest speaker was Erin Whitehead, writer for militaryspouse.com, “Military Spouse Magazine,” advocate and Marine Corps Spouse of the Year in 2010.

Her husband, Gunnery Sgt. Joseph Whitehead is with the Marine Corps Detachment on Fort Huachuca.

Whitehead talked about working with military spouses across the globe as inspirational. She explained how the diversity of the military spouse community allows each one to contribute in his or her own way.

In addition to praising the variety of contributions made by the service members’ husbands or wives, Whitehead compared military spouse life to parenthood. She expressed that people can research, seek advice and logically prepare themselves, but they are

Gear up for summer reading programs at library

By Megan Sneary Youth Services Librarian

Each year the Sierra Vista Public Library hosts a summer reading program to promote reading for young people who have completed kindergarten through 12th grade. This year the library staff has combined the preschool literacy promotion, “Read to Me,” formerly held annually in April, with the Summer Reading Program, or SRP, to provide better service to families with children in each age group. This year’s program takes place in June.

The goal of the SRP is to encourage young people to read and to keep track of how much they read during the program. The youngest group, babies through preschool, are encouraged to read or be read to by their friends and family for at least 10 minutes per day while the older kids are challenged to read 8 hours per week.

Each child is given a reading log in which to note their progress and, after the milestone has been hit, they return the completed form to the library where they receive a prize. Each new milestone earns the child a different award.

Library personnel put interactive programs together that focus on the SRP theme. These and other programs are designed to capture readers’ interest.

The younger crowd will celebrate “Dig Into Reading” during the regular ‘Baby & Toddler Time,’ Tuesdays at 10:20 a.m., and Preschool Storytime on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. Children will read stories, participate

in an underground dance party and get their hands into dirt, compost, rocks and minerals throughout the month of June.

All school-aged youth are invited to participate in weekly 11 a.m. programs on Thursdays in June. Participants don’t need to have completed the requested number of hours to attend, and everyone is eligible to win one of the available door prizes. The schedule follows: June 6 - “D.I.R.T - Digging Into Recycling Techniques” Local architect Judy Guentzler-Collins will lead participants through the D.I.R.T. in Sierra Vista. This is designed to be a fun-filled workshop with a hands-on takeaway.

June 13 - “Dig into the Earth and Rocks” Local rock hounds Emily and Bill Jaeger will let youth touch, explore and learn about their rock and mineral collection. See what the earth is made of, check out dinosaur remains, explore local specimens and enjoy lots more.

June 20 - “Burrowing and Digging Animals with Reid Park Zoo” Members of the Reid Park Zoo from Tucson will visit and bring some of their animal friends. See a number of different creatures and learn how digging is part of their daily lives.

June 27 - “Underground Music and Scavenger Hunt” Listen to some new music and party to celebrate the end of the Summer Reading Program. Enjoy a scaven-

ger hunt with several different ability levels.

The Sierra Vista Public Library staff welcomes all area children for the Summer Reading Program. Registration for “Dig Into Reading” begins on May 19. Forms will be available in the library and online at www.SierraVistaAZ.gov\Library. For more information, call 458.4225.

courteSy of the city of Sierra ViSta Reading programs at the Sierra Vista Public Library are designed to help books come alive through special interactive programs to enhance the reading experience. This year, youth from kindergarten through grade 12 are invited to participate in the Sierra Vista Public Library’s Summer Reading Program which takes place in June.

Resilience training and Resilient Spouse Academy planned

By Audrey Peterson-Hosto Exceptional Family Member Program Manager

Among the services provided by Army Community Service, or ACS, resilience training is available to Department of the Army civilians and military spouses at Fort Huachuca.

Soldiers can attend this training if instruction is not available through the Military Master Resilience Trainers assigned to the unit.

Resilience training focuses on specific skills to develop abilities to understand the thoughts, emotions and be-

haviors of self and others and to master these skills to strengthen relationships through communication strategies. The instruction also allows one to discuss problems assertively, respond constructively to positive experiences, and praise effectively. ACS has five certified master resilience trainers on staff, all trained at the University of Pennsylvania.

The primary focus of the ACS Resilience Training is to teach DA civilians and military spouses skills they can use to become more resilient. This training encompasses Resilience Training, Resilient Spouse Academy and Pre/Post Deployment Modules.

Instructors encourage participants to complete the Global Assessment Tool, or GAT, and the Values in Action, or VIA, Strengths Survey.

The GAT is a multiple item questionnaire that provides the individual with a snapshot of their psychological health along four dimensions – social, emotional, spiritual, and family fitness. The VIA is a 240-question survey that helps identify character strengths in your-

self and others. Once people complete the GAT, they will receive feedback that describes their resilience level. This tool is meant to help build self-awareness and can help with team building and communication.

The upcoming dates for Resilience Training are June 5 - 6, Aug. 21 - 22 and Oct. 2 - 3.

Call 533.6871.

The upcoming dates for the Resilient Spouse Academy are July 8 - 12 and Sept. 16 - 21. Call 533.3107.

MilUniversity adds to Army online learning opportunities

By Argie Sarantinos-Perrin PEO C3T MilTech Solutions

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. – A new learning portal provides enhanced training and access to Department of Defense professional networking tools.

Developed by the Army’s Military Technical, or MilTech, Solutions Office, MilUniversity bridges the gap between how people prefer to learn – those who enjoy attending training classes, but may have questions afterward, and those who prefer to learn at their own pace by reading text and viewing videos.

“At the end of the day, people want to learn how to use each of these tools to make their jobs easier and better,” said Claudia DeCarlo, deputy director of MilTech, which is assigned to the Program Executive Office Command, Control and Communications-Tactical.

Within the first 10 days of its release, 1,000 unique visitors had logged onto milUniversity.

The portal is hosted on milSuite, a group of secure, professional social media tools. MilSuite is issued throughout the DOD community to collaborate and build awareness on projects, policies and other initiatives. It is available to most DOD employees with Common Access Card authentication.

Bill Gledhill, a human resource specialist in the Army Civilian Personnel Advisory Center at the Presidio of Monterey, Ca., uses SharePoint and Defense Connect Online, or DCO, to communi-

cate and train employees at satellite locations around the world. When Gledhill has questions about SharePoint and DCO, project management and webconferencing tools, he uses MilUniversity to find answers.

“Through milUniversity, I have learned that there are many more features of DCO and SharePoint than I was even aware of,” he said. “These two programs were my incentive to go to milUniversity for information and help that enables me to communicate better.”

MilUniversity’s homepage design mimics the layout of applications on a smart phone. Each icon on the first row links to the procedures for frequentlyused tools in the DOD. These tools include Microsoft SharePoint, a project management tool with an estimated 800,000 Army users; Green Force

Tracker, an instant messaging system that has nearly 15,000 active Army users; and DCO, a web-conferencing tool with 862,000 registered users.

Other icons link to the four milSuite tools, which include milWiki, a living military encyclopedia; milBook, a professional networking tool; milWire, a micro-blogging application for sharing content across milSuite and external sites; and milTube, a video-sharing platform. MilSuite’s community currently includes more than 300,000 users.

Since milUniversity supports the idea that people learn differently, there are downloadable reference guides, text and video tutorials available for all the tools.

The portal also features three curriculum levels - 100 (getting started), 200 (intermediate) and 300 (advanced) - so users can find the right fit for their level

courteSy photo

of expertise.

“The beauty of the different levels is two-fold,” said Tracey Schreiner, a MilTech training team representative.

“Someone can say to a new employee, ‘this is what we think you should know to be the most efficient, effective member of this organization’ because the idea is that the tools on milUniversity are meant to make us more efficient in what we do. Or an organization can use the different levels to pick and choose procedures to build their own courses for each tool.”

By using milUniversity to build courses, travel to traditional training classes could also eventually be reduced.

“I believe the early embrace by the community is a confirmation of the need that existed for this brand of online, self-help, user education and highlights the willingness of individuals to seek help,” said Jason Bock, a milSuite team representative.

The portal will continue to grow, supporting the idea that learning is an ongoing process, as more video tutorials and procedures are added to round out the three curriculum levels. Other upcoming changes include: updated information on other tools; displaying recent content and what’s new on the homepage; and offering a more visible way for users to give feedback.

“MilUniversity is not only about building a SharePoint site for your organization; it’s having the employees understand how they can use that tool in their day-to-day jobs,” DeCarlo said.

109th MI Bn. wins best in Army award

By Marci Miller, National Security Agency Public Affairs Army News Service

JOINT BASE LEWIS-McCORD, - The 109th Military Intelligence Battalion, “Task Force Disruptor,” of the 201st Battlefield Surveillance Brigade, 7th Infantry Division, learned, April 15, that it had earned top honors as the best military intelligence unit in the Army.

The 109th MI Bn. rose above nominees from across the Army to earn the prestigious Director’s Trophy for providing critical signals intelligence support during the battalion’s deployment to Regional Command East, Afghanistan.

The Director’s Trophy is awarded annually by the Director of the National Security Agency to the Army intelligence unit or element judged to have made the most outstanding contributions to the mission during the previous calendar year. It is the most prominent award given by the National Security Agency to a unit or element.

“We are truly honored to have won the DIRNSA Trophy, the first battlefield surveillance brigade intelligence unit to do so,” said Maj. Jeremy Dobos, 109th MI Bn. executive officer. “It’s a tribute to the

professionalism and dedication to duty of the American Soldiers and Sailors who served with Task Force Disrupter during combat operations in the Regional Command East.”

Intelligence units throughout Afghanistan are crucial assets, often helping commanders in theater, and even worldwide, acquire information about terrorist groups and their safe havens.

While all of the Army’s intelligence personnel and units played a vital role in supporting numerous intelligence missions throughout Afghanistan, the 109th MI Bn. excelled at developing and instituting unique and innovative methods of supporting ground forces, while simultaneously meeting national information requirements from governmental intelligence agencies.

According to the NSA, the 109th MI Bn., led by Lt. Col. Douglas Woodall, provided unparalleled, continuous intelligence support to multiple maneuver brigades and Combined Joint Task Force-One, while developing target and collection methods to meet ground commanders’ priority intelligence requirements.

These innovations garnered the attention of leaders throughout the Army, and led to senior leaders describing the battalion as the “model battalion for

future expeditionary intelligence operations.” The unit was cited as a future force best practice to the chief of staff of the Army.

“It takes a network to defeat a network, and our collaboration throughout Afghanistan and intelligence agencies back home made all the difference,” Woodall said. “This is an award we share with the entire intelligence community and serves as a testament of where global intelligence operations have progressed over the past 12 years.

“The 109th MI Bn. developed and delivered cutting-edge capabilities to safeguard our troops while targeting and eliminating an adaptable enemy.

“This is the first time in history that an intelligence battalion from a battlefield surveillance brigade has received this honor,” Woodall added.

The leadership of the 109th MI Bn. attribute their success to several key enablers such as their worldclass training and their participation at the Joint Readiness Training Center.

The unit was the first intact tactical intelligence battalion to participate in a JRTC rotation.

The 109th leadership also lauded the combat deployment preparation and support assistance received from the intelligence and security command.

Safety Fair spreads awareness on summ Story and photos by Gabrielle Kuholski Staff Writer

Integrated Training Area Management, or ITAM, and Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security, or DPTMS, occupy a table at the Safety Fair, held at Barnes Field House Tuesday. Attendees found information on range safety from ITAM and unexploded ordnance from DPTMS.

Fort Huachuca personnel and residents had the opportunity to learn a variety of safety, health and wellness tips on Tuesday at the Safety Fair held at Barnes Field House.

Since the Fort Huachuca community is getting ready for summer, some of the participating organizations and installations focused on information regarding safety outdoors.

The Huachuca Area Herpetological Association and Friends of the San Pedro River set up displays on wildlife to be aware of when pursuing outdoor activities. The Huachuca Area Herpetological Association brought along live snakes to give fairgoers an idea of which snakes are dangerous and which are harmless. Interested attendees got to handle some of the harmless ones.

Relating their booth to the outdoors, the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security, or DPTMS, focused on range safety and the possibility of finding a piece of unexploded ordnance, or UXO. These are weapons such as bombs, shells, grenades or land mines that never exploded when first used with the potential to detonate at a later time when discovered.

Scott Miller, DPTMS chief of training, explained that although a majority of the

Military Intelligence – this week in history Capt. Noah Phelps - mission accomplished

By Ruth Quinn, Staff Historian USAICoE Command History Office

May 9, 1775 Ever since 1759, Fort Ticonderoga, on the western shore of Lake Champlain, N.Y., had been in British hands.

Up until May 10, 1775, that is. That was the day that Col. Ethan Allen and Gen. Benedict Arnold marched into the fort and demanded its surrender, giving the Americans their first victory of the Revolutionary War. By what logic could these commanders make such a bold move? It was due to actionable intelligence provided by young Capt. Noah Phelps.

Days after the defeat at Lexington, a plan was formed and financed by members of the Connecticut militia, to have Phelps head north from Hartford towards New York. He was joined by forces in Massachusetts and eventually

by Allen and his Green Mountain Boys.

This was a militia group from Vermont (directly across the lake from Fort Ticonderoga) that formed in 1770 to protect the rights of local landowners. They eagerly joined the American forces in the common fight against British rule.

At the same time, a separate mission was launched, led by Arnold under the authority of the Massachusetts militia.

Both commanders were in need of intelligence, as their forces were small and inexperienced.

Phelps was a member of the Commit-

tee of the War which met to determine the advisability of taking the fort. The only thing he knew on May 8, 1775, was that it was occupied by British troops.

So he set out to determine the enemy’s strength, situation, and capabilities.

Since he was in an area known for its loyalty to the crown, he expected to be treated as friend rather than foe. He was not disappointed. He took a room at the inn near the entrance to the fort and listened intently while the British officers dining there talked openly about their circumstances. Phelps was encouraged, and decided to investigate further.

The next day, Phelps, an American Revolutionary, strolled through the gates of British-held Fort Ticonderoga, smiled and waved at the sentry, and ran into Capt. William Delaplace, the fort’s commanding officer. The two men chatted amiably, and Delaplace offered to show Phelps how to find the post barber.

On the way, Delaplace asked Phelps a number of questions regarding the disposition of American troops around Cambridge, which Phelps answered cheerfully but noncommittally. In his turn, Phelps pointed to a break in the wall and asked the commander if it didn’t pose a security threat to the fort, should there be an attack. The British officer replied that the break was the least of his worries, since all of their gunpowder was wet and therefore unusable.

Phelps continued to the barber, got his shave, returned to the boatman, hur-

riedly made it to the American camp by the afternoon of May 9, and reported all he had heard and seen to the Council of War. The attack was planned for the next morning, and Delaplace was awakened from his sleep by Allen’s shouting to surrender. The British surrendered to the Americans without a shot being fired.

While this “battle” may seem insignificant in retrospect, it was an important boost of morale to the American forces and public. Additionally, it disrupted the supply and communications chains linking this area to Canada. Most

importantly, the cannons taken from Fort Ticonderoga were moved to Dorchester Heights, just south of Boston, which compelled the British to abandon that city on March 17, 1776.

The expedition of Capt. Noah Phelps was the first recorded intelligence mission in the story of American Army intelligence. History has long recognized the intrepidity of Allen and Arnold, brazenly demanding surrender of a British fort. But the reason they could do so, was that they were well informed by a daring captain who gave them accurate, relevant and timely intelligence.

mer precautions, health, wellness UXOs are no longer used in training, they’ve been used in the past on Fort Huachuca, and the possibility of finding one is a reality. He advises anyone who uncovers a UXO to call the military police, 533.3000, and range control, 533.7102.

For those planning summer hikes, the Border Patrol shared information about the importance of hydration. Each year the Border Patrol rescues lost or missing hikers. Many cases involve dehydration, where the hiker has not prepared by bringing enough water.

Also relating to summer safety with wildfire alerts and monsoon season ahead, Installation Management Command, or IMCOM, provided information on family emergency plans. Stephen McCann, ICOM emergency manager, explained how Families should have a plan in case of a disaster and have an emergency kit prepared in advance. He also mentioned that people often forget to include their pets in the process and should incorporate their safety into the family emergency plan.

This year’s Safety Fair also included booths and displays concerning health and wellness. Several departments of Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center were involved, spreading awareness on preventative health measures, dental health and eye safety precautions.

Sports Fitness and Aquatics, part of the Directorate of Family, Morale, Welfare and Recreation, gave information on sports safety and the benefits of having a personal trainer to help achieve fitness goals, learn how to properly exercise and avoid sports injuries.

Emphasizing wellness, the Army Substance Abuse Program was on hand with materials about positive alternatives to drugs or alcohol to assist with better mental health.

According to Cyrano Brigham, installation safety officer, the Safety Fair was a great way to provide a variety of information all together, at one time and location.

“It’s a common outlet on safety related issues,” Brigham said. “People can have all their safety and health questions answered in one place.”

From left, Guy Hudson and Abraham Peraza, Cochise County SWAT team, examine different types of tinted safety glasses. Ken Winburn, administrative technician, ran the booth for Raymond W. Bliss Army Health Center Eye Clinic at Tuesday’s Safety Fair and explained different types of safety glasses available.

Spc. Scott Gray, 18th Military Police Detachment, watches the ball python draped around his neck. The snake was part of the Safety Fair’s exhibit by the Huachuca Herpetological Association, one of more than 20 organizations providing information at this year’s event.

Group brings fresh, low-cost produce to local community Story and photos by Gabrielle Kuholski Staff Writer

Getting those recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables has become more affordable for Fort Huachuca Families and the Sierra Vista community. On the first and third Saturday of the month, Market on the Move, or MoM, brings 36,000 pounds of produce to the Thunder Mountain Activity Centre Pavilion for distribution to the public. The next MoM produce distribution event will take place May 18 at the Thunder Mountain Activity Centre Pavilion from 7 - 10 a.m.

The brainchild behind bringing this Phoenix- and Tucson-based program on post is Chief Warrant Officer 4 Stephanie Norris, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, network integration evaluation integrator.

According to Norris, MoM served 800 people at its first event on April 6. On Saturday, MoM served about 700 people.

“The biggest benefit is reaching the community that cannot normally afford produce,” Norris said. “There are people thanking us for bringing [MoM] here because they can’t afford fresh produce any other way.”

The experience is similar to a farmer’s market environment. Participants provide a $10 donation upon entrance, which al-

lows them to take up to 60 pounds of produce. They are given a token for their donation and enough boxes to hold their produce. They pick an open lane from which to choose their produce and present their token to volunteers staffing the lanes, when requested.

Each lane is set up exactly the same.

Norris explained that some of the items are limited to a certain number that people can take, but most are unlimited. It all depends upon the type and amount of produce delivered on the 54-foot semi truck.

While 60 pounds of produce is a lot for the average family, the goal is to share that food with others, especially those who cannot afford to make the donation or are unable to participate. People are encouraged to share with friends, family, neighbors and church members. Some organizations come and donate extra in order to take more produce to local food banks.

Norris’ family delivers food to the Bonita Vista Senior Apartment Complex.

“That is what Market on the Move is all about,” Norris said. “It’s about distributing rescued produce to our community, specifically to those who need it and can share it with others. We want the produce to be stretched as far as possible.”

Another aspect contributing to MoM’s success has been the volunteers. Most MoM events require around 35 volun-

The vouchers were then distributed to Army or carry the 60 pounds to their vehicles.

“I cannot give enough accolades to our Community Service center to give away.

From the second event, $400 was prevolunteers - they are wonderful people,” sented to the Chaplain’s Helping Hands Norris said.

MoM is made possible by the non-prof- Ministry. One program stemming from it 3000 Club.

“The Installation Chaplain’s Office is bles and distribute over $45 million worth very appreciative of the support we get of produce annually.

The 3000 Club has allowed the Fort from the community, whether it’s from Huachuca MoM to keep 10 percent of the Market on the Move, any unit or individuproceeds from every event to put back into al donations,” Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Samuel the community. From the first event, 52 Godfrey said.

Volunteers also assist shoppers in picking out the correct amount of produce permitted for each package.

Welcome!

REGIONALCARE IS PROUD TO PARTNER WITH SIERRA VISTA REGIONAL HEALTH CENTER We’re excited to welcome the healthcare professionals of Sierra Vista Regional Health Center to RegionalCare Hospital Partners’ family of hospitals. The physicians, nurses and other healthcare professionals of SVRHC share a belief with our over 5000 team members that “the heart of healthcare is service to others.”

And with that belief comes a commitment to providing the best healthcare available to the people of Sierra Vista and southeast Arizona. The legacy of care that SVRHC represents will continue to grow as our partnership dedicates itself to taking healthcare to a new level of excellence.

Just take a look at how this new partnership is building a stronger, healthier future.

• Planning is already underway for a new 100-bed regional hospital on the 70-acre “East Campus” tract of land already owned by SVRHC. Groundbreaking is slated for later this year, with construction expected to be completed in 18 months.

• $11 million in capital investments between now and the opening of the new hospital will enhance medical services and add new technology.

• RegionalCare will also invest $18 million in physician recruitment over the next seven years to bring more than 25 physicians to the medical staff and community.

RegionalCare Hospital Partners is proud to be part of this historic day and the beginning of a healthier future for us all.
