Trio of NCOs join Audie Murphy ranks Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Three 40th Military Police Battalion (Detention) soldiers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Sgt. 1st Class Michael Green, 291st MP Company, Staff Sgt. Matthew Oliver, 526th MP Company, and Staff Sgt. Timothy Rowland, 291st MP Company â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were officially inducted as the newest members of the Lamp Chapter of the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club in a ceremony Jan. 29 in DePuy Auditorium. Audie Murphy is the most decorated soldier in American history, earning every medal of valor given by the United States, as well as one Belgian medal and three French medals. He was discharged from the Army on Sept. 21, 1945, and moved to Hollywood where he became a well-known author, actor, producer, songwriter and poet. He was killed in a plane crash on May 28, 1971, at the age of 46. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Fort Leavenworth Lamp Chapter Sergeant Audie Murphy Club is supported by (noncommissioned officers) from units all across Fort Leavenworth who are committed to strengthening the noncommissioned officer corps and quality of life,â&#x20AC;? said 1st Sgt. Jason Jinks, SAMC secretary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These NCOs have shown commitment to both the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club and NCO Corps by volunteering on numerous occasions to include being part of the adopt-a-highway clean up, cleaning the (Veterans Affairs) hospital nature trails and delivering food for Meals-on-Wheels to disabled elderly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are truly selfless NCOs who are committed to the welfare of their soldiers and our nation,â&#x20AC;? he said. As part of their induction, Green, Oliver and Rowland were all presented with a certificate of achievement, a framed biography of Audie Murphy, a membership card certifying them as lifelong SAMC members, and the SAMC medallion featuring the club crest, designed by original SAMC organizer and professional illustrator Don Moore. Command Sgt. Maj. Mark Haliburton, 40th MP Battalion,who served as the guest speaker, said he wanted to offer an ounce of perspective on the accomplishment of the three inductees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are roughly 5,000 SAMC members that are currently among our active-duty ranks. The size of our Army currently sits at just over 470,000 soldiers,â&#x20AC;? Haliburton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Using my math skills, that

complacency and inertia into action. It is one of the most potent pulls in human history, and as such accounts for much of hu-

manityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progress, as well as its suffering,â&#x20AC;? Haliburton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While it ignites collective action and stirs passion, its direction depends largely on those that wield its power. Great has no inherent moral compass and thus its unpredictable potency can just as easily be put toward pugilistic and peaceful purposes.â&#x20AC;? Shouting â&#x20AC;&#x153;forward march,â&#x20AC;? Haliburton described the uniform of an enlisted soldier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You will not find anything that tells you specifically what occupational specialty an NCO or soldier may be. â&#x20AC;ŚWe just see rank and there is an expectation that lies within that rank,â&#x20AC;? Haliburton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When the leaders today receive this award, there is an expectation superiors and subordinates alike will have for these NCOs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Development and shaping of these phenomenal NCOs starts upon indoctrination and completion of (Advanced Individual Training),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Double time!â&#x20AC;? Haliburton continued, asking three questions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do I have what it takes? Am I committed? Am I walking upright?â&#x20AC;? Haliburton asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a young soldier, we are taught to be observant with our eyes. We are trained to watch and look at every little detail. This sense we possess becomes inextricably linked to other senses. â&#x20AC;ŚThis is the most important in our indoctrination to our craft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It might sound counterintuitive that the best way to train yourself to observe more in our Army is to learn what to ignore, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the basic idea here. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay attention to everything, so here you are trained on what to look for to retrain your eye,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Accomplishment of this is critical. Those soldiers who master this ability of observation place themselves ahead of their peers.â&#x20AC;? Haliburton said NCOs are also trained to listen, calling the skill vital for progression. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We master the lesson of listening to understand and not listening to respond,â&#x20AC;? Haliburton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those NCOs that develop a supernatural ability to listen, again, separate themselves.â&#x20AC;? Finally, Haliburton said, NCOs are taught to use their voice to address what their soldiers have seen and heard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This skill set is so important to our soldiers that the tone and the ability for SEE AUDIE MURPHY | A2

Schools present gifts to board members Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

In honor of Board of Education Appreciation Month, Unified School District 207 board members were presented with gifts from all four post schools — Bradley, Eisenhower and MacArthur Elementary Schools, and Patton Junior High School — and district staff during the monthly board meeting Jan. 27 at the district office. “It is an excellent time of year when we get to recognize the board of education for your dedication, service and your commitment to not only our students, but the staff and the district,” said Keith Mispagel, superintendent of schools. “It is the district’s thanks knowing that it is not just showing up here for the meeting, and hearing how great things are. It is a lot of behind the scenes and challenges that require your support and input and guidance on how to make this district the best it can be.” Myron Griswold, board president, said being on the board is a labor of love. “I love coming to the meetings and preparing for the meetings and the attitude of the students and the superintendent, this team, the principals and their teams at all the schools, all licensed and classified personnel just wanting to do the best they can possibly do every day and wanting to improve,” Griswold said. “That’s what gets me up in the morning. I think that’s what is so great about this district.” Lt. Col. Chris Evans, board vice president, said he has two passions. “I got a passion for serving and a passion for education and coming here I get to do both,” Evans said. “You don’t get to do that very often where you can get back and give something back as well, but in this job I can.” Col. Scott Green, board mem-

Audie Murphy the senior NCO to communicate can influence echelons above. Ensuring that our senior NCOs possess this skillset is critical on all levels,” Haliburton said. “While technology has made us connected and accessible 24-7, it has also made us the least social society in the world, more importantly, decreasing the ability for our senior NCOs to vocalize the vision and hearing of our soldiers. “We must seek out these soldiers within an elevated sense of hearing, seeing and well-developed voice,” he said. “Our senses as soldier are what helps us become better leaders and adapt to an ever-changing environment.” “Quick-time march,” Haliburton concluded. “The art of training soldiers is not determined by the portrait itself, but the brush stroke of the sergeant,” Haliburton said. “These are the 1 percent and we must utilize this group of NCOs to develop and ready the 99 percent.”

ber, said with the new year comes a new decade of things to look forward to. “(The new decade) made me think of the opportunity to be part of the best school district in the state and the chance to make it that way for the next decade,” Green said. “Thanks for letting me be a part of it.”

Early dismissal Because of the Patton home invitational track meet at 2 p.m. April 30, Patton students will have early dismissal at 1 p.m.

2020-21 calendar During the board meeting, Mispagel presented the board

with a working school calendar for the 2020-21 schoolyear. The final calendar will be approved at the February board meeting and will be available on the district website following that approval.

KVL Competitions The board approved five additional competition field trips connected to the Kaw Valley League. The Math Counts State Competition is Feb. 4 at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Kansas City; the KVL Spelling Bee Competition is Feb. 4 at Tonganoxie Middle School; the KVL Band Festival Competition is March 5 at Lansing Middle School; the KVL Choir

Festival Competition is March 26 at Lansing; and the KVL Math Relays Competition is April 28 at Bonner Springs Middle School.

Educational theater In November 2019, the board approved the update of the technology in the educational theater at Bradley. During the January meeting, Mispagel presented some additional proposed changes to go along with the technology update. Proposed updates include the addition of one more row of seats raising the capacity from 62 to 80; mounting the projectors and screens; putting in a stationary wall to replace the partition, which will

help with presentation style; painting the dome ceiling and replacing the carpet to colors that will allow for best projection; and cross curriculum opportunities to expand its uses. The board will approve all proposed changes and the final budget at the February board meeting. For a complete overview of the meeting and the minutes, visit https://go.boarddocs.com /ks/usd207/Board.nsf/Public. All board meetings are open to the public. The next USD 207 board meeting is at 4:30 p.m. Feb. 24 in the Eisenhower Elementary School library.

The inductees had different reasons for what their induction into the club meant to them and for the soldiers they lead. “You sit there, you do a lot for your soldiers, and it is cool to be seen and know that what I’ve done has a meaning behind it. It brings everything to a central point, and it makes it real that I have been doing the right thing and been moving forward in the right way,” Green said. “Anybody can (be inducted into SAMC). You just have to stay hardcharging. A lot of my soldiers already know exactly who I am as a person and how I get things done as a leader, and if they do want to follow the same path, it is not hard. It is just caring that matters most.” Oliver said becoming a member of SAMC is a lot of hard work. “It is a grueling process to go through multiple boards and get questioned. Every ounce of your leadership is under a micro-

scope, so to be able to surpass that process and be inducted means a lot,” Oliver said. “The Audie Murphy Club, the motto is ‘lead from the front.’ All of my soldiers were here today, and they were able to see that their platoon sergeant, the highestranking NCO in the platoon, is leading from the front and sets an example to them on what to reach for.” Rowland said it was a three-year process to be inducted into the club having actually started the journey at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash. “It just means so much to me because I’m able to represent the NCO Corps as a whole and hopefully be able to push my soldiers to achieve something greater,” Rowland said. “A lot of them don’t know about the Sergeant Audie Murphy Club, so this is an opening point for us to talk to them about it and get them more interested to come volunteer and give back to the community.”

Army evaluates officers for battalion command Devon Suits | Army News Service

WASHINGTON — According to the Army’s top officer, battalion commanders are the most consequential leaders in the Army, which is why the service has improved its leadership evaluation and selection process for them. “(Battalion commanders) train and develop young soldiers, NCOs and officers, and have more of an impact on their (career decisions) … than any other leader,” said Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville. With the launch of the new Battalion Commander Assessment Program, the Army is currently evaluating close to 800 lieutenant colonels and majors at Fort Knox, Ky. McConville and Maj. Gen. Joseph McGee, Army Talent Management Task Force director, provided an update about the BCAP during a media event Jan. 23. The BCAP started Jan. 15 and will end Feb. 9. Candidates undergo a five-day assessment by completing a series of non-cognitive, written, verbal, psychological and physical assessments, officials said. “(Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy) and I believe that if

we get the right people, in the right job, at the right time, everything else (will follow),” McConville said. “To us, the Army is about people — they are our greatest strength, (and our) most important weapon system.” Candidates participate in a blind panel interview before a major general, two brigadier generals, two former brigade commanders and an “informed nominative sergeant major,” McGee said. A screen separates participants from panel members during the interview, and panels receive “anonymized information” about each candidate. “It is really about transformational change and how we are going to select battalion commanders in the future,” McConville said. “Our battalion commanders are the future strategic leaders of the Army,” he said. “If you are a successful battalion commander, you have a good opportunity to be a colonel and … rise to the higher levels. We want to make sure we have the right people in these positions.” In September 2019, around 1,800 officers were considered eligible for command, with close to 1,100 opting in to compete

during this year’s cycle, McGee said. The Army then conducted a command selection board and subsequently decreased the pool of eligible candidates, he explained. The remaining 800 candidates were then invited to Fort Knox to participate in the BCAP. The Army also took a page out of the Special Operations evaluation process and invited 35 operational psychologists to provide support, McGee said. Service members, government civilians and contractors make up the pool of operational psychologists, with a majority of them already supporting the Special Operations community. “What they are specifically looking for I am not going to discuss,” McGee said. “I think it would give away the nature of what we are doing, and I don’t want to degrade the process.” Overall, the team of operational psychologists helped review all the data collected during the BCAP process, which also included surveyed data from peers and subordinates, McGee said. The Army conducted the “largest gathering of peer and subordinate information” by sending out 26,000 surveys to solicit information, McGee said.

More than 70 percent of eligible participants responded to the request, providing the Army with an in-depth look at each candidate. “The data we have collected on each officer has given us a very good insight into those that (can) succeed in command, and those that have … counterproductive behavior that does not make them ready for command,” McConville said. “We are getting a good look at all these officers. It is an extensive assessment, and we will use this capability to make sure that we are putting the best officers into command,” McConville added. After the five-day assessment, each candidate receives an out brief, which includes an overall impression of his or her performance, McGee said. It also provides the officer with feedback to help with their own self development. “You can be determined not ready for command for three reasons,” McGee explained. “You did not meet our height and weight requirements, you did not pass the Army Physical Fitness Test, or (there is a) collective determination that you are not quite ready for command.”

Officers that were determined “not ready” will have an opportunity to work on themselves over the next year and can try again, McGee said. Once the entire BCAP is complete, the Army will re-establish the Order of Merit List and use the list to select primary and alternates for battalion command, along with other key positions, McGee said. With the BCAP, the Army now has an opportunity to identify key strengths and behaviors that should be present throughout the officer corps, McConville said. U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command can use the collected data to bolster certain aspects of professional military education for the betterment of the Army enterprise. “I’m pleased with the process,” McConville said. “I think it’s going to fundamentally transform not only how we select battalion commanders, (but also) how we educate and develop leaders. “From where I sit, command is a privilege,” McConville said. “It’s a great privilege to lead America’s best. We have a sacred obligation to get absolutely the best, most committed leaders.”

Army talent management program growing Sean Kimmons | Army News Service

WASHINGTON — The first assignment cycle for the Army Talent Alignment Process saw nearly all eligible officers and units participate, while orders are now beginning to be released one week ahead of schedule, the Army’s human resources chief said. The assignment cycle, which was for positions this summer, had a surge of participation after the previous cycle garnered less than 60 percent. The figures showed that 95 percent of the more than 14,000 active-duty officers put preferences down for their next position, while 98 percent of units placed preferences for their vacancies. “This increased twoway participation resulted in more than 55 percent of officers receiving their first-choice assignment and more than 80 percent of the officers receiving an assignment from their top 10 percent of preferenced jobs,” said Maj. Gen. Joe Calloway, commander of the U.S. Army Human Resources Command. Of those numbers, 47 percent of assignments had one-to-one matches, meaning the officer and the unit made one another their top preference. “We believe this collaborative and transparent process will ultimately enhance job satisfaction, improve readiness and help us retain a larger portion of the human talent that is critical to our Army in the years ahead,” Calloway said. About 67 percent of officers and 66 percent of units also received one of their top three choices, according to Army G-1 offi-

cials. The next cycle starts in April for moves that will occur next winter. “The results of the first execution of the ATAP represent a significant step forward in establishing a new assignment system for U.S. Army officers,” said Maj. Gen. J.P. McGee, director of the Army Talent Management Task Force. “Thanks to the great partnership between the Army Talent Management Task Force and Human Resources Command, we demonstrated that we can take the preference of officers and establish a system that still provides units across the globe with the right level of talent to accomplish their mission,” he said. ATAP — a decentralized, regulated, marketstyle hiring system — aligns officers and units using the Assignment Interactive Module, or AIM 2.0, which allows officers to build professional resumes highlighting their unique knowledge, skills, behaviors, and preferences. Similarly, units can find and preference officers whose talents align with their unique requirements. The module then aligns officers

against those jobs, maximizing officer and unit preference while keeping Army readiness at the forefront, officials said. As a result of potential changes to force structure, some slated assignments could be impacted and create unforeseen manning shortages in units. “We acknowledge that emerging requirements and structural changes could change some officer and unit matches in order to meet Army requirements,” Calloway said. “However, U.S. Army Human Resources Command will continually seek to meet these requirements while honoring officer and unit preferences/readiness to the maximum extent possible.” In the latest cycle, the HRC’s AIM Integration Team supported officers

www.ftleavenworthlamp.com

and units as they interacted within the AIM 2.0 portal. The team conducted 80 training sessions with about 4,200 officers and also responded to more than 2,500 emails from the field, officials said. The modernized process is part of the Army’s push away from an industrial age personnel system to a 21st-century talent management approach. The AIM 2.0 portal will eventually bridge into the Integrated Personnel and Pay System, or IPPS-A, that will include all three components in an effort to manage talent across the total force. When fully deployed, IPPS-A, which is now live in half of Army National Guard states and territories, will have a 25-point

talent profile to provide a holistic look at soldiers. In that profile, IPPS-A will track civilian and military education, awards, self-professed attributes, personal goals, civilian work experience, and preferences, among other variables. IPPS-A is expected to be fielded to all three components by December 2021. Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville, who has promoted a people-first priority, believes the system is key to recognizing the talents and preferences of every individual soldier. During a speech in October, he jokingly said it was “almost blasphemous” to think the Army would actually consider someone’s preferences. “But, if we know where

they want to go and what they want to do, we believe we can get the right person in the right job at the right time and we will have a better Army that is more committed,” he said. “When our people are treated this way, we know they perform better, stay longer, and they will make our Army stronger.” The success seen in ATAP’s first assignment cycle, though, is just a step in the right direction, Calloway said. “While we are pleased with the outcomes from this manning cycle, we acknowledge that there is still much work ahead,” he said. “We will continue to work with Army senior leadership, as well as officers and commanders in the field, to improve our talent management policies and processes.”

Kansas Day highlights stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, culture Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

On Jan. 29, 1861, Kansas officially joined the United States. Since 1877, that day has officially been recognized as Kansas Day, and Unified School District 207 celebrated with its annual Kansas Day event Jan. 29 in the Patton Junior High School gym. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is about understanding and embracing and learning more about Kansas history, whether you are a native of Kansas or are joining our school district from somewhere across the world. It is just learning about another culture and the past and appreciating that as we move forward,â&#x20AC;? said SuAnn Grant, USD 207 deputy superintendent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hope is that it is an enriching learning experience and that we can bring history to life, whether it is something that they get to see or it is someone sharing a piece of history or just being with their peers in a different atmosphere.â&#x20AC;? Being that Fort Leavenworth is not only a military installation but also has a high international population, volunteers and teachers said they felt it made the event an important one for the students to experience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kids are only at a certain place for a certain amount of time, so it actually expands their knowledge and it makes them better citizens as they grow up,â&#x20AC;? said Sgt. 1st Class Nakawa Jones, who volunteered to help at the event with fellow Mission Command Training Program personnel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It exposes them to things that they probably wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be exposed to in any other situation.â&#x20AC;? Michelle Kern, Eisenhower fourth-grade teacher, said Kansas Day gives students a glimpse into Kansas history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get to bring history alive and see how people lived 100, 200 years ago. They get to make connections to their lives today, and it is a meaningful experience,â&#x20AC;? Kern said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is important for the students

to learn about the state they are currently living in because it helps them to build that community and to take ownership and pride in where they live. Part of that is to make that connection and learn about the history of why that state is important to our union.â&#x20AC;? Katelyn Reiff, Eisenhower fourth-grade teacher, agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a good opportunity for them to learn the history of Kansas and get a chance to experience crosscurricular activities that are real world and relevant to them,â&#x20AC;? she said. Students in thirdthrough fifth-grade from Bradley, Eisenhower and MacArthur Elementary Schools and students in seventh- through ninthgrade from Patton attended the event, which included 16 different learning stations that ranged from an apple cider press to log cutting to quilting. New presenters included the Friends of the Frontier Army Museum and the Museum at Prairiefire out of Overland Park, Kan. The FFAM booth included opportunities for students to try on different types of period clothing, including bonnets, cowboy hats, top hats and Army jackets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are always looking

to engage the children and the Fort Leavenworth community, and this is a fantastic way to really get one-on-one time with the children and introduce them to the Frontier Army Museum and all the things that we have to offer them,â&#x20AC;?

said Jessica Powers, FFAM president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of the things that we bring to these exhibits are to encourage hands-on participation and to really make history come alive for kids. â&#x20AC;ŚAll of these costumes are representative of what the

Frontier Army, the soldiers, the families that are out here in Kansas would have worn in this general area â&#x20AC;&#x201D; pioneer life in general in the Midwest.â&#x20AC;? Tom Radocy, Museum at Prairiefire education team member, said he brought fossils for the students to look at and touch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of what (the museum) does is focus on local natural history and that includes paleontology. A lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, for example, that Kansas was under the ocean twice in the geologic past, most recently in the Cretaceous Period,â&#x20AC;? Radocy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of kids come to the museum because they want to see the dinosaurs, but Kansas didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually have dinosaurs because dinosaurs were land animals. Instead, Kansas had swimming animals like large fish and large marine reptiles.â&#x20AC;? Students noted different things they liked about the learning stations. Jonas Mukes, MacArthur fourth-grade student, said he liked trail

games, especially the buffalo chip throwing game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It tests your throwing, and it is also very hard because when you throw it, it floats away from the bucket,â&#x20AC;? Mukes said. Caileigh Courtright, Bradley fourth-grader, said she liked the butter-making station. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was fun, and it reminded me of when I was in kindergarten and got to make butter,â&#x20AC;? Courtright said. Students agreed that it was important for them to learn about Kansas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We live in (Kansas) and you might need to know the information later in life,â&#x20AC;? Mukes said. Aiden Madetzke, MacArthur fourth-grader, said he felt it was important to learn about Kansas because it is centrally located within the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, without Kansas, the United States wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a heart,â&#x20AC;? Madetzke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your heart is always in the middle.â&#x20AC;?

Inmate art featured in annual show, sale Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

While inmates at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks serve their sentences, many of them participate in various recreational programs, including art. During call times for certain activities, minimum custody inmates can choose to go to the crafts shop where they can draw pictures using various mediums, make candles, design artwork using leather or make ceramic items. “In all of our programs here, our main mission objective is to prepare them and have an opportunity for them to go back out into the community,” said Barry Garner, USDB recreation services supervisor. “This is doing our part to prepare their mindset to go out into the community and have the community accept them.” Several of the pieces the inmates have created will be featured in the 40th annual Hidden Art Locked Away art show and sale sponsored by the Leavenworth County Artists Association at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 Esplanade St., Leavenworth Jan. 31 through Feb. 1. The art of 16 USDB inmates will join the art of U.S. Penitentiary-Leavenworth inmates, and will be on display and judged from 4-8 p.m. Jan. 31 and on sale 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 1 in the Women’s Waiting Room at the RFCC. Prices range from $1 to $300 with 80 percent of the proceeds

going back to the inmate and 20 percent going to the LCAA. “We were given it by the River City Community Players… and they wanted to turn it over to a fine arts group because technically the artwork that the inmates produce are fine arts, not performing arts,” said Matt Nowak, LCAA programs director. “We think it is going to be a complete success. …For the inmates, we’re just part of their program because they do art anyway, and it just makes sense that they have an outlet with the work that they do. It just works out really well.” Pieces include an Indian map of Oklahoma that took the artist two years to create using coffee beans and diluted magazine ink, handmade leather art, paint-by-number paintings, pencil drawings of Pennywise from “It,” a pastel bird, a splatter paint American flag and more. Though only minimum custody inmates are allowed to come to the crafts shop, the pieces in the show were contributed by inmates throughout the facility. “It gives (the other inmates) more incentive to say, ‘Oh, I could be in the crafts shop,’” said Paige Rothwell, USDB crafts shop supervisor. “It gives more incentive for even the guys outside of the program to want to be better.” This year, inmates in the craft shop program were given new opportunities with the addition of ceram-

ics and candles. “It’s really exciting,” Rothwell said. “I think that will draw more attention.” Pieces include ice candles, ceramic mugs, clay bowls and a Pac Man arcade game piggy bank. Rothwell said by looking at the art submitted this year by past participating inmates, they have improved. “They’ve definitely progressed,” she said. Having the art sale each year provides opportunity for the inmates and the public. “First, it is important for the inmates because they can submit stuff to the outside and show what they do while they are incarcerated, and it gives them more incentive to be better and do good,” Rothwell said. “When they’re in the crafts shop or doing these paintings and drawings, they aren’t necessarily thinking, ‘I’m incarcerated.’ They are bringing themselves outside of that everyday life of being incarcerated. They are thinking outside of the box and becoming more invested in what they’re doing. “For the community, I think it is good for them to see what (the inmates) are doing when they’re incarcerated,” she said. “A lot of the time, the community just hears bad things about people who are incarcerated. They don’t necessarily hear the good things about Copyright the artist what they do. … Seeing the The painting “To My Mom,” made by a U.S. Disciplinary Barracks inmate, is one of the offerings in the Hidden Art talent, that takes the stereoLocked Away art show and sale this weekend, with judging and a preview from 4-8 p.m. Jan. 31 and the sale from type off it a little bit.” 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Feb. 1 at the Riverfront Community Center, 123 S.

Wellness for Life more than diet, exercise Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Munson Army Health Center has a team of subject matter experts ready and available to all MAHC beneficiaries who want help reaching their health and weight-loss goals with the 12month Wellness for Life program. “Wellness for Life is a research-based program to help you achieve weight loss in a safe, but effective manner,” according to a program description provided by MAHC. “Here at Munson Army Health Center, we are interested in the whole person and how body systems affect one another. We are committed to helping you take control of your health by providing the services for making long-term changes that improve your overall health.” The program, which is now in its second year, begins with a group orientation every fourth Wednesday and Thursday of the month. “We like them to get started with this group orientation class,” said Marcy Sedwick, MAHC registered and licensed dietitian. “It is really about learning what services we have and you thinking about what areas you are ready to commit to and sign up for and use those services. “It is a collaborative, multidiscipline effort,” she said. “Everybody needs something different, so that’s half the battle is knowing what you need.” The orientation includes briefings about seven different services provided at MAHC and that services’ role in the program.

Primary care providers In the provider portion of the orientation, Hannah Dickins, MAHC primary care provider, spoke to participants about obesity, saying that in the Department of Defense alone, 61-83 percent of beneficiaries are considered overweight with body mass index of 25-29.9 or obese with a BMI of 30 or higher. “Studies have shown that the higher the number, the more problems we are most likely to have occur,” Dickins said. Some of the health problems obese people are at risk for include sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and several types of cancer. “There is good news,” Dickins said. “Research also shows that with a 12-month program (like Wellness for Life) of trying to get these goals in place, you will be able to achieve a wellness for life, a better quality of life.”

Population health

Katie Peterson

Marcy Sedwick, Munson Army Health Center registered and licensed dietitian, and Lynne Sepulvado, population health nurse, right, talk to Barb Eikmeier about her personal health goals after the Wellness for Life Program orientation Jan. 22 at MAHC. During the orientation, participants learned about nutrition, motivational interviewing, population health, weight loss medication options, physical therapy and the Army Wellness Center as options to use throughout the program. For more information or to sign up for the 12-month program, call 684-6250.

Lynne Sepulvado, population health nurse, said her main purpose is to be there for weigh-ins or to discuss diet and exercise routines. “We can do a quick weigh-in or we can sit and discuss what you are eating, what kind of exercise you’re doing,” Sepulvado said. “I can be your cheerleader.” Program participant Barb Eikmeier said she was interested in the population health portion. “It is for accountability,” Eikmeier said. “I know that I always do better when I have somebody watching.”

Psychology Dr. Hodges Glenn, integrated behavioral health consultant, said his role is motivational interviewing with three words in mind — thoughts, feelings and actions. “They govern everything that we do as humans,” Glenn said. “How you think about it, how you feel and then, consequently, how you act. Many times, I’ve heard people in leadership roles or parental roles — it is not what you say but it is what you do. “With this process, people get stuck and getting stuck is the difficult part because stuck includes these unhealthy behaviors,” he said. “Many times, it is attached to unhealthy thought, dysfunctional thought, and many times there are all sorts of lifestyles or

triggers or events that have helped compound it.” Glenn said motivational interviewing is designed to combat those triggers. “It is designed to get people to do what they really want to do in the first place, and to get them feeling good about what it is they want to do, feeling empowered and saying, ‘OK, I recognize the problems,’” he said. Eikmeier said she appreciates Glenn’s portion, too. “I have done weight loss programs before, but I always go back to the same weight after a period of time, and so I think that I probably need to go a little deeper into why this is happening,” she said. “Why do I have bad eating habits? I think he can help me find some insight on that.”

Army Wellness Center The Army Wellness Center offers advanced testing equipment including fitness testing, biofeedback and a bod pod, which calculates a patient’s percentage of body fat. The center also has resources to help with weight management, stress and fitness.

Medications Weight-loss medications are an option for the program, but there are conditions. Patients must be in the program for three months before starting weight-

New AER program helps with child care expenses Sean Kimmons | Army News Service

FORT MEADE, Md. — Army Emergency Relief will begin providing up to $1,500 starting Feb. 1 to help cover child care costs for soldiers and families who move to a new duty station. The AER Childcare Assistance Program offers $500 per month for three consecutive months in a no-interest loan, grant or a combination of both based on financial need. The program is intended to offset costs that arise when there’s no availability at onpost child care facilities and more expensive civilian services are required. The Army Fee Assistance Program currently gives soldiers up to $1,500 per child each month for child care, but soldiers still pay an average of $275 on top of it, said retired Lt. Gen. Ray Mason, director of AER. “That’s why we came up with the number of $500 per month per family to help them cover that out-of-pocket (expense), plus a little bit more,” he said.

After an audience member spoke of the issue at a senior leader family forum in February, Mason asked his team to research and create the program to address it. “Right now, the capacity for the on-post child care facilities isn’t able to meet the demand,” he said. “The Army is looking at that, trying to figure out how they can expand. It’s not something where you can just snap your fingers. You have to build more capacity and then you have to hire more child care providers.” To qualify for the new program, soldiers must be activeduty or in the Active Guard Reserve and have permanent change-of-station orders to a location in the continental U.S. Soldiers must also provide proof of their out-of-pocket child care expenses and validate their financial need each month at their local AER office. The initial request should be submitted within the first 120 days after the family arrives to the new duty station. The financial relief may

even help some spouses quickly return to the workforce when they arrive to their new location, Mason said. AER also now offers up to $2,500 to reimburse professional relicensing expenses for spouses who require them for jobs in another state. “The employment of spouses is an important goal for the Army,” he said, “and we want to assist with that.” AER has more than 30 categories of assistance that provide about $70 million to 40,000 soldiers each year, he added. That number includes $50 million in no-interest loans, $10 million in grants and another $10 million in scholarships for spouses and children. AER also has certified financial counselors to help soldiers better manage their budgets. “AER is not about the long term, providing a check every month,” Mason said. “We’re about helping people get over a bump in their life, get through a financial challenge and come out on the other end.”

loss medications; however, patients must pay for it out of their own pocket. TRICARE will not pay for weight-loss medication until a patient is consistently in the program for six months. For those who want to try weight-loss medications, Dr. Marketa Lanier, clinical pharmacist, said she can discuss which medications are appropriate for each patient and realistic expectations. “We’d discuss how much weight are you expected to lose on them so you don’t end up disappointed,” Lanier said.

Nutrition When it comes to diet, Sedwick said it is important to stay within the five food groups — vegetables, fruits, grains, protein and dairy. “We have to eat every day, so it is really important to know the healthy foods that should be on your plate and know what you can be eating,” Sedwick said. Vegetables should be the biggest portion of a meal, she said. “Homework in here is to keep a food diary to know how many calories you’re eating,” Sedwick said. “Tracking calories is very helpful.” The key, Sedwick said, is to set up a realistic weight loss goal of 5-10 percent of a patient’s current body weight.

Out on a Limb

To help patients stay on track, Sedwick also teaches a Fit for Performance class from 3-4 p.m. every Tuesday, which is a fourclass series with a different topic every week. For more information, visit https://www.ftleavenworthlamp.com/community/202 0/01/09/fit-for-performance-focuses-on-nutrition/.

Physical therapy The final portion of the program is physical therapy, which helps patients maintain strength or treat injuries that might occur. “Our role in this is if you’re having pain — low back pain, foot pain, shoulder pain — and can’t get back to physical activity,” said Courtney Williams, physical therapist. “You do not need to see your provider to come see us.” Program participant Debbie Lohman said the orientation was informative. “I had no idea what (MAHC) even offered, so I thought it was great,” Lohman said. “It is wonderful that they’re doing a full package. They all seem very knowledgeable and wanting to help everyone.” The next Wellness for Life Program orientation is at 1 p.m. Feb. 26 on the first floor of the health center.

3 FORT LEAVENWORTH LAMP

Pre-inspections set for out-bound students Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities

Assessment inspections have begun for School of Advanced Military Studies and Command and General Staff Officer Course students. The inspection gives inspectors a chance to assess homes for any items that need to be taken care of before the final inspection. It also gives maintenance staff insight into any items that may need to be attended to before new residents can move in. The assessment inspections will serve as a pre-move-out inspection, but residents will still need to give Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities a copy of their military orders and fill out a “Notice of Intent to Vacate” form at least 30 days before they intend to vacate the property.

HOUSING UPDATE Inspections take about 30 minutes and are scheduled by neighborhood from noon to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday with Friday as a make up day.
