Captain defends All-Army team’s goal Katie Peterson | Staff Writer
In 2013, Capt. Micah Robbins, current commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Joint Regional Correctional Facility, thought he had played his last hockey game. Now, seven years later, he has reclaimed his passion for the sport and is serving as a goalie for the All-Army Hockey Team. Robbins said he started playing hockey when he was 3 years old living in Michigan. “I grew up playing hockey every day,� Robbins said. “It is so cold up there.� When he was 14, he left home to play hockey all across the country. During that time, he said he transferred 13 times and attended seven different high schools. “I moved all over the country to play hockey,� Robbins said. “I’ve been to more than 40 states to play and then Sweden when I was 19.� From there, Robbins said he played college hockey at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh. After graduating from college, he played professional hockey for three years. By 2013, he was practice goalie for the American Hockey League’s Chicago Wolves, and also practiced with the National Hockey League’s Chicago Blackhawks. It was 2014 when he said he chose to stop playing after commissioning into the Army. “Not many people have the opportunity to say, ‘Hey, this is my last time, so let’s enjoy it,’� Robbins said. “I didn’t know that the last time I got off the ice would be the last time I ever played, so there were some skeletons in the closet and some definite reasons why I wanted to get back out there. “I’ve kind of put everything on the line to make sure that I make the (AllArmy) team,� he said. Robbins applied for the team in September 2019 through the Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation website, and immediately returned to the ice to prepare. In December he received word that he was one of 30 applicants chosen to attend a camp at Fort Drum, N.Y., which would determine the final roster of 20. Tryouts were Dec. 27, 2019, through Jan. 1. For the final scrimmage to make the team, the team faced off against the Watertown Wolves on Dec. 31 at Watertown Municipal Arena in Water-

town, N.Y. “(The Watertown Wolves) are a professional hockey team. I played in that league, so it is kind of crazy to be back, dressed up, playing that league in this capacity,� Robbins said. “We beat them so it was a good caliber of hockey.� Robbins said he found out that he made the final roster midday Jan. 1. “I’m not surprised because I know I have it in me, but I am surprised because it has been so long. I’m almost 34 while the rest are 25, so I’ve got 10 years on most of them,� he said. “Your body moves a little different at this type of sport.� Robbins said he not only enjoys playing hockey, but he enjoys his position as goalie. “As a goalie, I’m able to basically be the quarterback of the team and then control the play in front of me,� Robbins said. “It is also one of those positions that all the responsibility falls on me. Whether things go good or bad, it all falls on the goal defender, so I think the position’s responsibility has always been something that I like to have control over.� With the team roster finalized, the team traveled to Latvia to participate in the 7th Open Baltic Military Winter Games Jan. 610. Because the team will compete against international teams, they will participate as Team USA. “The representation is red, white and blue,� Robbins said. “It is different when you’re playing for what is on the front (of the uniform) rather than the name on the back. I’ve always wanted to play for a gold medal and this is the opportunity to win it.� Robbins said that going through the process of trying out for the team after

not playing for several years has taught him to leave everything out on the table every time he plays. “I highly recommend that if there are any challenges or obstacles that soldiers or people want to pursue, it doesn’t matter how far away it might seem or how unrealistic it might seem or how long it has been. It can definitely be done no matter what,� Robbins said. “I definitely don’t have the time to prepare for this but I found the time, I made the time, I made the team and that is pretty important. Wearing 60 pounds of equipment and getting out there at this level of play after eight years is something.� According to All-Army Sports Facebook posts, so far the All-Army team has beaten Latvia 10-1 and Sweden 4-0.

Jordan wraps up 45 years of federal service Randi Stenson | Mission Command Center of Excellence Public Affairs
Friends and colleagues from across the Mission Command Center of Excellence and Fort Leavenworth said farewell to long-time MCCoE deputy director Thomas Jordan at a luncheon and ceremony Dec. 18 at the Frontier Conference Center. Jordan officially retired from Civil Service Dec. 31. Jordan retired from the Army in 2007 as a brigadier general and entered Civil Service as the director of the Current Force Integration Directorate (later the Capability Development Integration Directorate). He assumed duties at the Mission Command Center of Excellence in 2012. Before presenting Jordan with the Army Superior Civilian Service Award, MCCoE Director Maj. Gen. Douglas Crissman took the opportunity to emphasize the importance of the occasion. “Today we have an opportunity to recognize nearly a half century’s worth of service,” Crissman said. “Tom Jordan has touched our Army in a number of ways. He has impacted all of your lives to some degree or another or you wouldn’t be here today. He is a part of the institution. You can define institution as
the Army, as the Combined Arms Center, as the Mission Command Center of Excellence, as the CDID, and he has shaped and molded a number of parts of our institution into what they are today.” For his part, Jordan reflected on his career by framing it as a series of choices, referring to the famous New York Yankees catcher and manager Yogi Berra quote, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” “How does that relate to what I’m talking about?” Jordan said. “Forks in the road represent choices, and those choices will end up comprising your life.” One of those first choices (after marrying wife of 47 years, Sheryl) would be to enlist in the Army in 1972 rather than take a chance at being drafted during the Vietnam War. After that initial enlistment, he returned home to Centerville, Iowa, and soon found himself at another crossroads. In deciding what step to take in his career he narrowed his focus to either football with an eye toward coaching or the Army. In considering football, he said, “What they used to tell us is ‘You’ve got to be smart enough to understand the game and dumb enough to think it’s important.’ And that was the sort of thing

that stuck in my head, because when it’s all said and done it’s a game and the Army was not. The Army was a profession. The Army was real. The Army was something that I felt like I could really do well with.” After graduating from Upper Iowa University and commissioning as an infantry officer, Jor-
T.H. Limb
dan rose through the ranks and held senior command and staff positions throughout the Army. His key assignments include the 71st regimental commander of the 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard); assistant division commander for maneuver of the 2nd Infantry Division; and deputy chief of staff for operations for
U.S. Army Forces Command. In 2007, when Jordan retired from active duty, he said he knew he was at another turning point, but recognized he wanted to stay a part of the Army team. “The choices that I made, it’s about the Army and it’s about being a part of something bigger than yourself. It’s important in a meaningful way to serve the country,” he said. Although he started out in capability development at Fort Leavenworth, Jordan closed his career as the MCCoE deputy director, using his position to mentor and invest in the human capital of the organization. He said he sees it as his greatest achievement and something that will remain long after his departure. “I think that is what makes the Army and these Army organizations, whether you’re activeduty or civilian, so important. Because the legacy that you leave … those people are your legacy. Those people are the ones that carry on. Those people are the ones that continue to serve in the Army profession and to serve those organizations and those soldiers out there. And that to me is worth a lifetime of service,” he said.
Teacher recalls history of ‘Littlest Christmas Trees’ Editor: Gretchen Martens told me to look up the Fort Leavenworth Lamp to see your write up and photographs of the “The Littlest Christmas Trees” by the MacArthur Elementary School kindergarteners. I’m so glad the tradition continues! Loved your coverage and photos. Nicely done. This play was started more than 40 years ago at MacArthur by Delores Thompson, who is now deceased. The children initially performed the play in their classroom. Delores and Barbara Ernzen brought the play to the stage. Barb played all of the songs on the piano, adding “Susie Snowflake,” “Frosty” and “Rudolph” to the main script. Barbara continued the tradition and passed on the songs, script and choreography of the play to the rest of us. It has gone through many
LETTER TO THE EDITOR adaptations, believe me, but continues to be timeless in presentation. Throughout the years, parents, grandparents and staff have contributed to this production by sewing costumes, providing the sleigh and reindeer set pieces and backdrop, and lots of technical assistance. This is a true community effort that is much appreciated. Throughout the years when I subbed, and now when I receive graduation announcements, the play is one of the main experiences that all of the students remember from their kindergarten year at MacArthur. I subbed one time at Eisenhower for fifth grade when two students realized that they had both been in
my kindergarten class. Their immediate query to one another was “What were you in the play?” One was a soldier and one was a snowman. This year I received a graduation announcement from one of my students, and he recalled that he had played Santa, and his best friend was Santa’s soldier. Both are now freshmen in college, and Santa’s soldier … well he has come a long way from his stage debut and is in a rock band! So delighted you were able to feature the play in the Lamp. Thank you! Happy Holidays, Ada Shea Retired Unified School District 207 kindergarten teacher

Tax Center personnel prep for new season Katie Peterson | Staff Writer
In 2019, the Fort Leavenworth Tax Assistance Center spent more than 1,600 hours helping retirees, soldiers and their family members save more than $350,000 on commercial tax preparation fees and preparing more than 2,000 tax returns, which resulted in more than $250,000 in state refunds and more than $1.2 million in federal refunds. Now, the 2020 tax season is approaching and the Tax Center’s five employees and nine volunteers are completing their annual training to help eligible activeduty soldiers, Reservists, retirees and family members file their 2019 state and federal income tax returns at no cost. With a combined experience of more than 75 years, the employees and volunteers attended the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance training course Jan. 6-10 at the Leavenworth Public Library. Trainees learned about the VITA software, federal and state tax law updates and refreshed their skills. “(VITA) is the one that the (Internal Revenue Service) provides, and it is the only one we’re authorized to use,” said Ladonna Brunson, 17-year Fort Leavenworth Tax Center civilian tax preparer. “After 17 years, I still do the training start to finish, I have to do the testing, and it is different every year. Tax laws and forms change every year for federal as well as the 43 states who tax.” While there are no significant changes to the tax laws this year, Brunson said the identification and documentation process is continually getting more restrictive for personal identification security. For example, each preson listed on a tax return must have a Social Security card or a government document proving his or her Social Security number. There are limitations to who is eligible for assistance at the Tax Center, Brunson said. The most common limitation comes with rental properties. To use the center’s services, active-duty service members can only have one rental property and retirees can-

not have any. Other limitations include a maximum of five state returns; no non-cash charitable contribution deductions of more than $500, and all cash charitable contributions must have proper tax receipts; and no Form 255, Foreign Earned Income. For a full list of the mandated limitations issued by the IRS, visit the Tax Center. Though there are limitations, the Tax Center offers several benefits, too. Soldiers E-5 and below and their families can use the drop-off service instead of making an appointment. To use the drop-off service, soldiers can come in, make copies of their tax documents and drop them off. Then, the volunteers will fill out the forms and call the soldiers in to talk about it and sign the forms. Additionally, each tax return goes through multiple people before it is filed, which helps soldiers avoid mistakes.
“There is the preparer who then reviews it with the tax payer, then the quality review is done by a third person, then there is the e-filer, and then the IRS does a pre-check for VITA sites,” Brunson said. “You’ve got five sets of eyes looking at it.” Volunteers had different reasons why they wanted to help at the Tax Center, but helping soldiers was the most common. “(The Tax Center) gives an opportunity for soldiers to have experts who specifically deal with military taxes,” said noncommissioned officer-in-charge Staff Sgt. Edward Alexander. “Typically, new soldiers that come into the Army, and they are usually the rank of private through specialist, they don’t know any better. A lot of these (chain and commercial) tax places out there prey on soldiers because they are young and they think they are ignorant. “If we can get the word out that we can help them, and it is
completely free of charge, it saves the soldier money,” he said. “Ultimately, that is our goal is that these soldiers are aware of what we’re doing here and that they are aware to stay away from these high-priced tax people.” Helping soldiers and retirees is why Rod Ziemer said he is volunteering for his third year at the Tax Center. “I’m a service officer for the American Legion, so one of my jobs as a service officer is to help military and veterans both, and I’m good with math,” Ziemer said. “Also, having (volunteered) for a couple years gives me a lot of insight into what some people can do to change their situation, to advise them properly with what the tax laws allow and do not allow. “(Soldiers and veterans) deserve the benefit of having (taxes prepared for) free instead of going to a chain where they are going to pay for it,” he said. “I be-
lieve we’ll take a little extra time to explain how things go because we’re doing it as a service, not as a job. That is one of the other aspects this class really helps with is ensuring that we have the due diligence to get everything we can to make sure it is done honest and upright.” The Tax Center, 651 McClellan Ave., will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 1-4 p.m. Wednesdays. The center will be closed on federal holidays and training holidays. An opening date has not yet been determined. To make appointments, call 684-4986 or make an appointment in person at the Tax Center.

‘Fit for Performance’ focuses on nutrition Katie Peterson | Staff Writer
Military spouse Stacy Secrest said she battled with her weight for several years. She said she would try a “crash” diet, lose 15 pounds and then gain it right back. Then, not only would she gain it back, she said, she would gain even more. Something had to change. “Being overweight and depressed and everything that goes along with being unhealthy, it isn’t good and it isn’t good for my family,” Secrest said. Then, she said she visited the Army Wellness Center, began the initial process and by learning about proper nutrition, ways to exercise and the importance of rest, she has lost 70 pounds in two years. “By following proper nutrition and getting my body to where it needs to be, it is making me a happier person and therefore making my family happier, too,” Secrest said.
While Secrest has been able to keep the 70 pounds off, she said her progress
began to slow down. “I got stuck and just couldn’t do it anymore and
thought ‘what can I do?’” Secrest said. “I’m going back to nutrition.”

Many scholarships open to local students Katie Peterson | Staff Writer
As students return to school for the spring semester, various local, Armywide and military service organizations are releasing information about scholarship opportunities for high school seniors and undergraduate students through U.S. Army Child and Youth Services School Support Services. “School Support Services provides Army school-aged youth with educational opportunities, resources and information necessary to achieve academic success. A branch of CYS School Support Services features school liaison officers who help schools, installations and families work together for student achievement,” according to the Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation website. “SLOs are knowledgeable in current education news and policies. They act as the conduit between the school community — including local public school districts, private schools and home school families — and the installation.” Amanda Buckingham is the Fort Leavenworth CYS school liaison officer. “Scholarships can provide financial assistance for a student planning to further their educa-
tion,” Buckingham said. “If student obligations are fulfilled, scholarships do not require repayment and can reduce the need for student loans. Although applying for a scholarship does not guarantee it is awarded, it can certainly increase the chances.”
Local scholarships There are four main Fort Leavenworth scholarship opportunities for military family members. • The Scholarships for Military Children Program, created by the Defense Commissary Agency and Fisher House Foundation Inc., awards $2,000 scholarship grants at every commissary location where qualified applications are received. The scholarship is open to children under the age of 23 and who are dependents of activeduty personnel, Reserve/Guard and retired military members. Applications are due Feb. 24. To apply, visit militaryscholar.org. • The Fort Leavenworth Spouses Club Scholarship is a merit-based scholarship for members and dependents of the FLSC. Applications are currently available and must be postmarked on or before March 13 and mailed to Fort Leavenworth
Spouses’ Club ATTN: Scholarship Chair, P.O Box 3004, Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027. The FLSC scholarship has three categories — high school senior, continuing undergraduate and spouse education. Scholarship recipients will be notified by the end of April and the award ceremony will be held in May. To download the application, visit fortleavenworthspousesclub.org/scholarships-3/. For more information, e-mail the FLSC scholarship chair at scholarshipflsc@gmail.com. • The John W. Poillon Memorial Scholarship is open to high school seniors who are dependents of U.S. military members, currently or within the past 24 months assigned to Fort Leavenworth or civilians who are currently employed at Fort Leavenworth by the U.S. government or a non-appropriated fund. The scholarship was established in 1965 in memory of John William Poillon, the son of Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Arthur J. Poillon and Natalie Poillon, who was killed in an automobile accident on the Centennial Bridge in Leavenworth. At the time, Arthur Poillon was a lieutenant colonel serving as an instructor at the Command and General Staff College.
Applications are available at the Fort Leavenworth Army Education Center, 120 Dickman Ave. Completed applications are due March 27. For more information, call the Education Center at 684-2496. • The Michaels Organization Educational Foundation Scholarship is open to high school seniors living in sites managed by Michaels or its affiliates. Applications will be available in February at all Michaels Organization offices or online at www.michaelsscholars.com.
Other scholarships Along with the local organizations’ scholarships, there are several outside resources military family members can use to search for scholarships, including the Scholarships for Service database, the Army Engineer Spouses’ Club Scholarship, Army ROTC scholarships, Voice of Democracy scholarships through Veterans of Foreign Wars and more. There are also scholarship opportunities for family members of wounded or fallen service members, including the Heroes’ Legacy Scholarship, the Folds of Honor Scholarship, and the Hope for the Warriors Scholarship. Additionally, there are schol-
arships available that are specific to military dependents of other service branches, including Wings Over America Scholarship Foundation for the Navy, the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation for the Marine Corps, the General Henry H. Arnold Education Grant Program for the Air Force, and the John A. Keller Scholarship for the Coast Guard. No matter what the scholarship, Buckingham advised paying close attention to all guidelines and due dates. “For a student to be considered for a scholarship, all required documents must be submitted by the individual scholarship deadline,” Buckingham said. “It is important to explore available opportunities in advance to check for eligibility and prepare documents for submission whether completion is online or by mail.” For more information about available scholarship opportunities, call Buckingham at 6841655, e-mail amanda.r.buckingham.naf@mail. mil or the SLO e-mail at usarmy.leavenworth.imcomfmwrc.mbx.slo@mail.mil.

Session one focuses on the steps to weight loss success. “Session one is about getting organized, setting up a weight loss goal and figuring out their homework like a food diary,” Sedwick said. “We try to get them to set up some SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic,

time-bound) goals in session No. 1.” Sedwick said participants are also given an action plan sheet, which helps patients target nutrition, physical activity, sleep and stress management. “A patient can pick one thing, several things or all things,” Sedwick said. Session two focuses on supportive environments. “We talk about wherever you are hanging out, wherever you are sleeping, working, playing, you need to be able to pick healthy
things,” Sedwick said. “Whether you’re traveling, at a restaurant, at home, you’re going to be exposed to a lot of food and a lot of calories. It is important to know healthy options and unhealthy options.” Session three focuses on the psychological side of weight loss. “That talks about mindful eating versus mindless eating and getting involved with assessing your hunger. How hungry are you?” Sedwick asked. “Mindful eating is only at the table.
… Get your five senses involved and give yourself permission to eat that delicious food.” Session four focuses on managing stress. “People can do some emotional eating so it is about treating those instances with healthy, coping mechanisms and not food,” Sedwick said. “Selfhelp would be our hobbies, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises or yoga — things that can manage your stress.” Secrest, who has at-
tended the first three sessions, said she has learned a lot about menu planning and how practicing proper nutrition is beneficial in many situations. “I have children that are underweight with me being overweight,” Secrest said. “By having the balanced diet, it has helped my children gain weight and helped me lose weight, so it truly is the right thing.” The Fit for Performance classes are free and open to all MAHC beneficiaries
who are 18 or older. For active-duty soldiers who are on the weight-control program or the Army Body Composition Program, the program fulfills his or her required appointment with a dietitian. To make an appointment, call the MAHC appointment line at 6846250. “I’ve done it,” Secrest said. “I’m a success story, and I’m going to stay a success story.”

Keep clothes dryer trap clean for fire safety Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities
Improperly maintained clothes dryers are a leading cause of home fires. A dryer should never be used without its proper lint filter. Lint traps should be cleaned often to maintain the appliance’s performance and longevity. Failure to clean lint traps can cause the appliance to perform poorly and possibly overheat. A clothes dryer must also have good air flow. Improper dryer ventilation can lead to a house fire. If lint has built up in the dryer exhaust, contact the Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities Maintenance Department at (913) 651-3838 to schedule a work order. For more information on home fire safety, visit www.nfpa.org. FLFHC would like to thank all residents for performing the proper maintenance on their home appliances.

Post telephones expand from 1920s-1950s Heidi Crabtree | Special to the Fort Leavenworth Lamp
By the end of the Roaring â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;20s, telephones were fairly common in buildings on Fort Leavenworth. Officersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quarters had phones installed on the first floors of the houses; some homes on Main Post still have a narrow â&#x20AC;&#x153;telephone nook.â&#x20AC;? The phone number for the home I live in was 8381 until the mid-1930s. The 1929 directory gave both tenants and staff a few lessons on how to use this modern miracle. As all calls went through a post switchboard, the main rule concerned etiquette. One was to expect courtesy from the operator, and they expected the same. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Technical troubleâ&#x20AC;? with the telephones was to be reported, along with bad behavior from operators, to the signal officer. Above all, the operator was there to do a job as quickly as possible, not engage in personal gossip. Long distance calls were for official business only and were catalogued. Rules for answering were spelled out as well. It was preferred that people answer with something like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Major Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarters.â&#x20AC;? In cases of noisy disturbances, a caller could ask for the Provost Marshal at 8000. Fireboxes around post were available, and if calling in a fire with a telephone, you were to shout â&#x20AC;&#x153;FIRE,â&#x20AC;? spell out â&#x20AC;&#x153;F-I-R-E,â&#x20AC;? then tell where the fire was. On Main Post, fireboxes were located on Grant, Augur and Meade avenues, and other streets. No matter what the call con-
FOOTNOTES IN FORTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S HISTORY tent, the modern 1920s user was told to speak clearly and hold the phone as close to the lips as possible. By the end of the next decade, tenants could make long distance calls, but the costs were added to their monthly telephone charge. During World War II, it cost a tenant $1.50 per month for basic service, paid to the signal officer each month. Extra extensions in quarters were installed at discretion based upon need, as there were still a limited number of phones belonging to the post. Issued by â&#x20AC;&#x153;classâ&#x20AC;? during the war, Class A telephones were used for government or personal use and could connect to the city. Class Bs were for personal business and connected to the city. Class C meant that the phone was only connected to other areas on post. The central operator was still used, and Class C users who wanted to call someone in town had to ask the post operator to connect them. Quarters were issued directories, as it was not the job of the operator to look up someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s number. After the war, classes of phones remained in effect, and Command and General Staff Collage students had their own switchboard called Normandy Exchange. Studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers were all 7000-series. Telephone numbers still had only four digits at this time.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear that the post had party lines, although the City of Leavenworth did. Officers who lived off post had four-digit
numbers with a letter added. In just a generation or so, tenants went from wanting a telephone to at times regretting the things. By the mid-1950s, staff would complain that the new trend of radio shows cold-calling random numbers with quiz questions promising everything from cash prizes to free dance lessons was wasting their time.

The next step in modernizing Fort Leavenworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telephones came in 1948. A newspaper clipping found in the archives taped to a directory noted that on July 17, at midnight, people were able to dial a phone number for themselves. One assumes that telephones needed to be replaced with units that had dials. Major upgrades began the previous fall by student Lt. Col. William Thames with groups of men from Fort Monmouth, N.J., coming to install new equipment. The Class A B and C system remained, the Normandy Exchange was gone almost as fast as it appeared, and users were instructed on what a busy signal sounded like. Five-digit numbers were first seen, all beginning with â&#x20AC;&#x153;2.â&#x20AC;? Any number ending in 99 was a test number. In 1948-49, the telephone number at my house on Augur Avenue was 6258, so a person could tell that this house was assigned a Class A phone, as all A phone numbers ended with 0079. The officer who lived here would have paid $1.75 per month, with another 30 cents for an extension bell. An actual second phone extension would have cost him another $1.25. Judging by the wiring going up to the second floor underneath coats of old paint, someone thought the extra money was worth it. Directories had a separate section for offices and services. Di-
