Barr Library Recognized as Federal Library of the Year
By Kelly Morgan The Barr Memorial Library is a library full of successful events known to those in the Fort Knox community. From the Authors at your Library program to the Read to the Rhythm program, Barr Library is always finding innovative ways to reach people of all ages. As of late, its success has been recognized by those outside of the local community. Last year, the Barr Memorial Library was named a Department of Defense Premier Library, becoming the first Army library to reach this status. Just a short 13 months following the recognition of this award, Michael Steinmacher, Barr Library director, and the Barr Memorial Library got word of being named the 2014 Library of Congress FEDLINK Library of the Year. This prestigious award is given once a fiscal year to a library with a staff size of 11 or more.
Steinmacher and his staff don’t do what they do to win awards, but the awards are a nice form of encouragement. “It validates everything we've been doing the last six years” Steinmacher states when asked what it means to him to receive this award, “It shows that the larger world sees what we hear every day”, Steinmacher continues. As for what this award means for the library, Steinmacher says “this demonstrates that just like everything else on Fort Knox, we are absolutely first class.” This recognition proves that not only is the Barr Memorial Library a leader in Army libraries, but that it is also on par with public libraries.

Mark A. Wicker, MWR Army Libraries Chief Dr. Karen S. Cole, Michael Steinmacher, Librarian of Army Trudie Root
Steinmacher has been at Barr Memorial Library for seven years and before that he spent ten years working at the Louisville Free Public Library. Steinmacher describes his time here at Barr Memorial Library with a smile on his face. He talks of the evolution of the library from a place where only information is gathered, to a place where you can get information as well as share ideas. He said he envisions the next step in libraries’ evolution to be not only a place where information is obtained and ideas exchanged, but a place where staff assist customers in a creative process that produces tangible results. Steinmacher’s favorite part about working at Barr Memorial Library is the people they take care of. He says that time changes, people change and the mission changes; but ultimately it is always all about the customer. Steinmacher says he loves “serving people who selflessly choose to serve the greater good.” knoxmwr.com
Steinmacher was quick to point out that the winning of this prestigious award was all because of his staff members. He was also fast to explain that it couldn't have been done without the support he was given from command. They gave Steinmacher and his staff creative opportunity to expand services to make the library what it is today. This award will not stop the creativity and the drive of the library staff from continuing to better the library. Steinmacher does state that “the coming years for Barr Memorial Library will be challenging, reflecting the Army and Fort Knox finding missions redefined.” He was sure to add “we are not going to let uncertainty stop us from continuing to be at the top of Army libraries.” Be sure to stop in Barr Memorial Library located at 62 W. Spearhead Division Avenue to see what all the fuss is about, and see for yourself what a truly special library it is.

Fore! National Golf Month at Lindsey Golf Course By Jennifer Dent
Did you know that August is National Golf Month? What better way to celebrate than with an exciting round of golf on the gorgeous greens of Lindsey Golf Course. Located just inside Chaffee gate on Fort Knox is the “safest place to play golf,” according to Clyde Hill, PGA, the Golf Manager of Lindsey Golf Course. Lindsey is a PGA certified 18-hole course with challenging game play for all skills and age levels that is open to the public year round. It offers competitive pricing for daily green fees and golf cart rentals. They also offer annual memberships that include unlimited green fees, an annual USGA handicap, discounts on food and beverages at the snack bar, discounts on merchandise in the golf shop, and discounts on tournaments. You can also add an unlimited golf cart package for an additional fee.
Lindsey Golf Course also houses their Golf Shop where they sell top of the line merchandise at excellent rates. They have a wide selection of golf clubs, balls, shoes and apparel. “Our prices are a lot better than most places,” Hill mentioned, “a lot of our vendors have military pricing which is at a reduced rate compared to what they sell to most golf shops. When we get it at that price, then we pass that on to the consumer.” They also have golf clubs for rent to anyone who finds themselves in need of clubs for the day. Lessons are available to anyone who feels they need to improve their skills. Many knowledgeable staff members are on hand to give tips and advice, as well assist an amateur or expert on their techniques. Simply call to set up an appointment. In spring of 2015, Lindsey Golf Course hosted an annual golf show at the Sadowski Center. The show was such a success, Lindsey is going to host the 2nd Annual Golf and Travel Show at Sadowski Center again in February 2016. This allows vendors to come and show their newest products of the season, and give consumers the opportunity to purchase these items at discounted rates.
Fort Knox Family and MWR is always looking for ways to improve the course. In fact, it recently completed a $300,000 bunker renovation. Many bunkers on the course were moved to the front of the greens to place them in locations that are more in play. According to Hill, “this gives it a better look and a better view, and slightly increases the difficulty of the course.” Various tournaments and scrambles are held at Lindsey Golf Course throughout the season. These range from competitive play, to fun events to include golf outings, stroke play tournaments, match play events, and fun scramble events like Moonlight Golf.
After a game of golf, you can always relax on the covered patio and enjoy some great food and cold beverages from the Lindsey Grill, located inside the clubhouse. Lindsey Golf Course is also a great facility to host your next social gathering. On their beautiful covered patio with a great view of the greens, they can accommodate over 180 people for any special event, such as wedding receptions, Hail & Farewells, and luaus. Catering is also available upon request. If you want to support your local military here at Fort Knox, come play a game of golf at Lindsey Golf Course. According to Hill, “playing golf here supports the military and the soldiers. All the money that is spent here stays here.” Lindsey Golf Course 18 Hole 4024 Bullion Blvd, Fort Knox, Kentucky (502) 624-2717 Located adjacent to the famous Fort Knox Bullion Depository Hours: Monday-Friday 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday 6 a.m. - 7 p.m. Holidays 6 a.m. - 8 p.m. www.knoxmwr.com

JUST GRILLIN’ By Laura Green What could be better than firing up the grill and cooking our favorite summer-time foods? Whether you use charcoal or gas grills, there are steps to take before grilling. •
The grill should be on a heatproof surface away from buildings and overhanging trees. Never grill inside your home, even in an open garage.
•
Inspect your grill, making sure the racks are clean, the cover fits, and there are no holes in the grill pan.
Charcoal Grilling • A charcoal fire takes 30-45 minutes to reach the cooking heat. Coals are at proper cooking temperature when gray ash forms evenly over them. •
Use about 30 briquettes to cook one pound of meat. A five-pound bag contains 75 to 90 briquettes. Make sure you have enough briquettes to cover the grill pan in a single layer.
Gas Grills Use lava rocks, which come with the grill. The rocks are heated by the gas flame and cook like charcoal. •
Keep the rocks clean. If there is a buildup of grease you will have flare-ups.
•
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning or replacing the lava rocks.
•
Lava rocks should be only one layer deep.
Cooking •
Never leave the grill alone during cooking. Flare-ups quickly become fires, and it's easy to overcook your food.
•
Adding wood chips and chunks can add marvelous flavor to your food. Soak chips for one hour before scattering over the hot coals.
•
Sauces containing sugar and fat will cause flare-ups and the food may burn. Generally, apply sauces during the last 10 minutes of cooking. Don't turn food too often, and use tongs instead of a fork. Piercing the food with a fork will release juices that you want in the food, and can cause flare-ups.
•
Information from www. busycooks.about.com/od/outdoorgrills/a/howtogrill.htm by Linda Larsen
Lighting a Charcoal Grill •
Stack the charcoal into a pyramid shape. Soak the charcoal with 1/2 cup of lighter fluid (never use gasoline!). Light the charcoal with a long handled match or fire starter. As ash forms, arrange the coals with long handled tongs into a single layer. Don't squirt lighter fluid onto hot coals, the fluid could catch on fire and burn you.
•
Lighter fluid is one of the top causes of grilling related injuries, creates a great deal of petroleum based pollution, and is simply frustrating to work with. You can light your charcoal, save the environment and never burn off your eyebrows again by trying one of these methods: a charcoal chimney, an electric charcoal starter, or commercial charcoal starters.

Summer is nearing its end and it is almost ‘back to school’ time. Budgeting your back to school supplies can help keep costs at a minimum. Obvious ways to cut costs include: using coupons, shopping sales, buying store or generic brands, using loyalty cards or making do with items leftover from last year.
lure shoppers in. This allows you to get more for your buck than at a discount store. 4)
Many schools provide a supply list of what is required.

Below are some helpful tips on how you can maximize school spending dollars. 6) 1) Shopping at home. Before you go to the store, walk around the house to see what you can find on the supply list. Check the junk drawer for items such as pencils, rulers and calculators. 2)
Only buy what you need. Make a list of what you need and 7) only buy what is on the list. This will prevent overspending on unnecessary items.

Wait for discounts. Shop SMART. Take advantage of markdowns on clothing, electronics, and shoes which usually occur in mid-August. Waiting until then could save as much as 20-40%. Price matching. Some retail stores offer price matching. Don’t forget to take your sale ad. Use the internet. Many on-line sites offer great prices, but make sure you shop at sites that offer free shipping. Shipping costs can really add up. If you have a favorite retailer, it is possible they may have downloadable coupons or other discounts. Buy quality items. Don’t just grab the cheapest option. Spend time examining how the item is made. Spending less – often costs more in the long run as you end up replacing items more often. Consider how long you think the item will last. For example: back packs are expensive and needed; pay attention to quality.

Communication. Talk to the teacher if the supply list is unaffordable. Your child’s school may have special programs available.

Clothes. Spread out purchases throughout the year. Buy essential wardrobe needs, and be creative in mixing and matching clothes. Other options are: lay-a-way, thrift stores, consignment shops and yard sales. Research reveals better pricing at the END of the summer.

Ways to Maintain a Long Distance Friendship By Armida Hoffman
The military lifestyle is one of rapid adjustment and constant change of scenery. Whether you are a soldier, spouse, or dependent, you have to learn to make friends swiftly, and modify yourself to the new culture you have just arrived in. Making friends comes easy to a military family, but maintaining these friendships once either of you have come on orders to a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) is the difficult part. Here are five ideas on how to keep and maintain long distant friendships. 1. Constant Contact Keeping in touch on a monthly basis will provide a chance for the two of you to catch up. This will allow you to talk about where you both are in your daily lives, and what plans or goals you have for the future. Do not wait too long to get in touch, doing so will give the perception that you are neglecting your friendship. Waiting too long also runs the risk of feeling awkward or guilty, so you further put off making contact with friends.
3. Video Chat It is easy to video chat these days. With the many different programs such as Skype and apps like OoVoo, you can keep in touch much easier than before. Use these programs to your advantage, and do not forget to chat with them on their birthday and special occasions. Doing that will show them how much they matter – no matter how far the distance.
4. Make them Feel Important If you are going to make the effort to maintain a long distance friendship, then show your friend they mean a lot to you. A simple 2. Plan a Trip Invite a friend to come visit you, or plan for you to visit them.

This will ensure that you are doing more than the minimum, each other of how important your friendship is to one another. and are taking a sincere interest in their lives.

A care package will bring a smile and happiness to your friend, and will let them know that you are thinking about them. Using these tips can help you maintain a healthy and lasting long distant friendship with someone whom you have come to know and trust. Having friends across the country and around the world can open your eyes to new horizons. In the Army, friendships are never temporary, and with a little effort, these friendships can turn into family.
