City leaders attend team-building event Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

The Leavenworth and Lansing communities offer a wide-range of support to Fort Leavenworth including housing, medical services and more, said Garrison Commander Col. Harry Hung, which is why he arranged a teambuilding event with Leavenworth and Lansing leaders Oct. 16. “Many of our active, civilian and retired military live in these cities. We depend on each other for emergency services with mutual aid arrangements,” Hung said. “I also depend on these cities to meet the needs of our military community. This includes religious and schooling requirements, obtaining retailers and a variety of public and private service providers. “As those needs and concerns change with our military community, I want to know we can trust each other to talk about making positive changes together. That’s not always easy,” he said. “Building trust demands an investment in time to know and understand each other. Today’s event is exactly that — building the friendship and professional relationship with leaders who will have the greatest ability to impact the quality of life for those living just beyond the borders of Fort Leavenworth.” Hung was joined by Garrison

Wildlife common in fort’s environment Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Fort Leavenworth is home to abundant wildlife, including squirrels, deer, coyotes, opossums, skunks, racoons and foxes, which offer many benefits to the community. “At Fort Leavenworth, we are blessed to have a lot of native wildlife still in the area and most of it is right on cantonment or travels through cantonment at some point during its life span and during its daily activities,” said Neil Bass, Directorate of Public Works natural resources specialist. “It shows that the environment on post is in good condition to support all that wildlife. Good wildlife habitat is good for people. It means a clean environment.” While having a diverse wildlife population is beneficial, there are concerns that can arise including road collisions with deer or unfriendly and potentially harmful interaction with other wild animals, in particular, rabid raccoons or mangy foxes. However, post experts say that neither are cause for concern. “We do not have rabies on Fort Leavenworth,” said Lt. Randall Collins, game warden. “We just had a raccoon tested for rabies and it came back negative Oct. 11.” Dr. Darrin Olson, Veterinary Treatment Facility

A fox with mange, caused by a parasitic mite, rests in a trap Nov. 3, 2014, outside the Entomology office. Foxes with mange were being trapped and treated, in cooperation with Operation Wildlife, to improve the health of the post fox population. Community members are asked to not feed wildlife and to leave them and the traps alone.

veterinarian, confirmed Collins’ statement, saying the closest case of rabies was an off-post bat that tested positive for the disease. Collins said there are various reasons why a raccoon might show signs of aggression and be out during the day, including distemper or hunger. “We have a heavy population of raccoons,” Collins said. “They are scavengers, so they are going to be just about everywhere. A lot of people seem to think that they are only out at night. They are wild animals. They are allowed to come out during the day. “This time of year is tricky especially with raccoons and opossums being scavengers. They’ll get into fruit, which tends to fer-

ment this time of year meaning there is a little bit of alcohol in them,” he said. “Sometimes, they’ll act a little sluggish and move really slow and things like that. People might think they have rabies, but not necessarily.” Bass said other things may cause raccoons and other nocturnal animals to be out during the day including breeding seasons, construction that disturbs their habitats and recent flooding. “This time of year, the young ones are kicked out, and they have to go find their own place, their own habitat in their own range. It is sink or swim with wildlife,” Bass said. “(The juveniles) are not great at finding food and also are moving out to areas

Most nuisance wildlife, as animals such as this raccoon can sometimes be, can be avoided with a few precautions. Northeast Kansas Wildlife Rescue’s website recommends the following to avoid problems with wildlife: “dispose of garbage properly; keep pet food away from wildlife; cover up all holes in siding, roof vents, and foundations; never feed wild raccoons, opossums or deer (birds are OK); use wire mesh to prevent (animals from) digging dens under steps; keep brush or wood piles away from the house; fence off vegetable gardens; and remove rock piles that may invite snakes.”

they’ve never been before, so they don’t know where things are. A lot of young animals, you can find them at weird times of the day because they are wandering around looking for places they want to live.” Mangy foxes and coyotes are also often reported. “Mange is a terrible thing. It will affect (an animal’s) condition,” Bass said. “However, at the end of the day, being a wild animal is hard work. … Your dog is going to be fat and healthy because it has a steady supply of food. Wild animals are not like that. They are naturally going to

look skinnier and less healthy.” Collins said the summer heat can cause a mangy look, too. “He (might) just have patchy fur due to the weather,” Collins said. Collins said there are simple ways to put distance between wild animals and homes. “They are wild animals. Don’t try to touch them. Don’t try to feed them. Just let them be wild animals,” Collins said. “Make sure you close up your garage doors, put (pet) food away and make sure the lids on trash containers are closed because they will get into

it. “Once they start to get fed, they’ll start to approach people and that’s when things get dangerous, so your best bet is to just leave them alone,” he said. “If they are in an odd spot or acting strange or coming at you in an aggressive manner, call us. We’ll put them down, we’ll do what we have to do.” The use of archery equipment or any weapons in the housing areas is strictly prohibited. Call (913) 683-0431 or 6842111 to report any suspicious wild animal activity.

IHG improving on-post lodging Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

IHG Army Hotels, in partnership with Lendlease Public Partnerships LLC, is making some changes to its Fort Leavenworth properties in hopes of increasing quality of service to its customers. “We want to improve the guest experience so they continue to return and want to return,” said Tom Wilson, Lendlease development manager. Holiday Inn Express at Fort Leavenworth is currently having new windows installed throughout the entire complex, a nearly 700-window project. “When we transitioned the building from the Army, all the seals in the windows had been penetrated, so they filled up with condensation, and it makes it cloudy-looking, and they’ve been that way for seven years,” said Tom Bastron, IHG director of

regional operations. “We finally got some funding to go ahead and get them replaced. …The ones we are replacing them with are more energy efficient, too.” The nearly $700,000 project is funded by Lendlease, and is expected to be completed by the end of October. Additionally, internet service has been upgraded at the hotel to better accommodate the high internet use when guests come to stay, and all the televisions, more than 600, will be replaced with “smart” televisions in mid-November. “It is going to help make our guest satisfaction scores go up because previously our internet, it wasn’t slow, but it wasn’t fast, and it would be overwhelmed because there wasn’t enough infrastructure in there to handle all of the (traffic),” Bastron said. “The new TVs are more in-

teractive, so it’ll make it easier if somebody has a program at home and they want to bring it with them, they can use these TVs to interact with it.” The smart TVs in turn help the internet issue, Bastron said. “Instead of having another feed for these devices, such as gaming devices, it’ll all go right through the TV, which will have its own hard connection,” he said. Ice slide guards are also being installed to prevent cars or guests from ice coming off the portico of the front entrance. Other upcoming IHG property renovations include a sidewalk replacement outside the Thomas Custer House and stone window sill replacements at Otis Hall. All renovations are expected to start by mid-November, and are not expected to affect customer service.

Scottie Johnston, Spartan Construction employee, and Eric Wickenheiser, owner of Spartan Construction, demolish old window frames to make way for new windows Oct. 22 at the Holiday Inn Express at Fort Leavenworth, an IHG Army Hotel. Seven hundred 35-year-old degrading windows are being replaced in the hotel. The new windows will be easier to maintain and will have screens, which the old windows did not.

and also get an opportunity to experience something that we’ve never experienced together,” Wilson said. “That created joy and excitement.” Participants took turns shooting at clay targets, getting 25 chances each. “My first 15 rounds, I didn’t think too highly of (the activity), but after we got going a little bit and I hit a couple, because I would’ve never lived this down, it was a fun thing. It was different,” Smith said. “It definitely piqued our attention, and it was a fun thing to get out here with Prudence Siebert just the counterparts and have a As volunteer range worker Merrill Rice watches, Garrison Commander Col.

ships. “We share some of the same challenges on the fort as we do in the city, and our ability to just converse as colleagues or peers and share those experiences and how we would deal with them is very beneficial,” Kramer said, “and I think you can do that better when you already have an established relationship.” Vandall said Fort Leavenworth is crucial to both Lansing and Leavenworth. “It is just imperative that we continue good relationships and continue working together well, and that’s why these events are so crucial,” Vandall said. “We’re partners with Fort Leavenworth and that’s why these relation-

ships are important.” Wilson said it eliminates the busyness of the work environment. “We all can become so busy and doing our everyday duties, serving the community, that sometimes we all just need to take a break so we can actually strengthen relationships,” Wilson said. “I think the best way to do that is outside of the work environment, a chance to learn from each other personally.” Smith said he hopes it leads to similar events in the future. “Whether it be training, whether it be social events, whether it be (an event) that we all attend,” he said, “just better communication is key.”

Letter: Thanks to everyone Dear Fort Leavenworth Community, I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended the surprise retirement party for my dad, David Peterson, Oct. 18 at the post office. My dad has proudly served the U.S. Postal Service for 35 years, the last 18 of them serving the Fort Leavenworth community. No matter what, my dad has always worked to provide the best quality customer service to the community, and it shows when he is able to brighten the faces of those who walk in the door. When I was planning the party, I had no idea how it would turn out. Dad, to my relief, was definitely surprised, but I have to say, I was overwhelmed to see all of the people who wanted to attend to wish him well. When we’re growing up, and even into adulthood, our parents brag about us and beam with pride. It is part of being a parent, I

Plan ahead for care of minor children Capt. Jessica Hom | Fort Leavenworth Legal Assistance Office

Even though it’s unpleasant to think about, in the unlikely event that both parents pass away while children are still underage, it’s smart to have a plan in place for both the physical care of children (guardian) and the person who will tend to their inheritance (custodian or trustee). Depending on the family situation, the guardian can be the same or a different person than the proposed custodian/trustee of their inheritance. The Legal Assistance Office can assist with managing children’s inheritance using one of two vehicles for administration: a testamentary trust or a custodianship. A trust is an agreement between the parent and another individual or entity to hold legal title to the parent’s property and manage it for the benefit of

LEGAL ADVISER named beneficiaries. Because of this, trusts have the ability to hold money beyond the age of majority for children. Trusts can be created either through a will (called a testamentary trust), or during the parent’s lifetime (called a living trust). The person or entity who manages the trust is called the trustee. A testamentary trust is one that is established by a person’s will at the time of his or her death for the benefit of someone else. In the simplest terms, by creating a testamentary trust, parents are giving the ability to manage their child’s money to someone else (a trustee) until the child reaches an appointed age. The trustee uses the funds in the trust for specified wishes, usually

the “health, education, and maintenance and support” of the beneficiary, until the beneficiary reaches the age of distribution. The main difference between a custodianship and a trust is that a trust allows the money to be held beyond the age of majority (18 or 21 years). But trusts can be tricky. They can be expensive to set up and administer, and some states require oversight by a court. A probate court will still have to validate the will, and appoint the trustee, before estate proceeds can be transferred to the trust. It may be taxed at a higher rate than expected. Also, management fees (if a professional fiduciary is chosen as trustee) can more than make up for any savings realized

from avoiding the probate process. In contrast, a custodianship allows the proceeds of a parent’s estate to be placed in an account for the benefit of his or her children, which is managed by a custodian the parent designates, following terms prescribed by the state’s Uniform Transfers to Minors Act or Uniform Gifts to Minors Act. A custodianship is established by the parent’s will, where he or she simply names who will be the custodian or caretaker of the child’s funds. With this method, all the terms are prescribed by state law, including what age the children must be given the principal outright — usually either 18 or 21 years of age — and what qualifies as proper management of the funds. This creates clear guidelines for the custodian and court to follow, possibly reducing overall administration and court costs.

The tax treatment of an UTMA/UGMA custodianship is also very simple. The custodian only has to file a tax return on behalf of the minor child. Proceeds managed by a custodian can be used for the “health, education, and maintenance and support” of the children according to the state laws and decisions of the custodian, but usually there is no oversight to this process. While it can be very confusing trying to consider what parents should do to ensure their minor children are provided for after their death, the Legal Assistance Office is available to offer advice and counsel to aid in decisions. The Legal Assistance Office is at 615 McClellan Ave., telephone 684-4944. Customers who have a complex estate or believe they need an inter vivos or living/family trust, will be referred to a list of local attorneys who can better suit those needs.

Federal Long Term Care Exceptional Family rolls out new version Member Program helps From a Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program release

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The new Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program plan, FLTCIP 3.0, is available to applicants who apply for coverage under the FLTCIP on or after Oct. 21. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management worked with the FLTCIP insurer, John Hancock Life & Health Insurance Company, and the program administrator, Long Term Care Partners LLC, to design a new plan that offers comprehensive coverage with added premium stability. It is important to note that the new FLTCIP 3.0 plan does not affect current FLTCIP enrollee plans or premiums. There are no current plans for an open season. Federal family members can apply for FLTCIP 3.0

coverage at any time with full underwriting. This includes federal and U.S. Postal Service employees and annuitants, active and retired members of the uniformed services, and their qualified relatives. New employees can apply for FLTCIP 3.0 coverage with abbreviated underwriting within 60 days of their hire date. FLTCIP 3.0 is a traditional long-term care insurance plan that includes a stay-at-home benefit and home care provided by formal and informal caregivers. In addition to its core coverage, FLTCIP 3.0 offers a new premium stabilization feature. The PSF is designed to reduce the potential need for future premium increases. It may also be used to offset future premium payments or provide a refund of a premium death benefit. FLTCIP 3.0 benefits include:

• International coverage up to 100 percent of the maximum lifetime benefit. • Choice of a 3 percent automatic compound inflation option or future purchase option. • Choice of a two-, three- or five-year benefit period. LTCFEDS.com has been redesigned for the new FLTCIP 3.0 plan. Accessible across desktop and mobile devices, the website offers new program videos, educational webinars, planning tools, and a user-friendly application for prospective applicants. In addition, all FLTCIP materials, including FLTCIP applications, are new. To learn more about FLTCIP 3.0, visit LTCFEDS.com.

those with special needs Munson Army Health Center

The Exceptional Family Member Program identifies service members who have family members with special needs. These family members meet specific medical and/or educational eligibility criteria identified by the Department of Defense. Enrollment is mandatory for active-duty service members and voluntary for Reserve component service members. Once enrolled, the soldier’s personnel record indicates family members with special needs. The record alerts the assignment manager about the soldier with a special needs family member for consideration during the assignment process. The Army considers the medical and/or educational needs of the family before placing a member on assignment to a particular location. There are separate criteria for medical and educational enrollment. Medical criteria includes any chronic condition (six months or longer) medical, physical or mental health condi-

tion that requires follow-up care from a primary care manager or specialty care provider more than once per year. Educational criteria is met if the family member requires modification of the educational curriculum or has an Individualized Family Service Plan or Individualized Education Program. The EFMP office plays a vital part of the outside contiguous United States orders process. Every family member who will be traveling on OCONUS orders is required to complete a family member travel screening before orders can be produced. This process requires a current physical and a medical review by the EFMP physician. Contacting the EFMP office at Munson Army Health Center once notified of an OCONUS assignment will speed the process up. To schedule an appointment or have a question answered, call the appointment line at 684-6250 and ask to make an appointment or leave a message for EFMP. An EFMP representative will return the call within one business day. EFMP at MAHC does not have walk in hours.

Class teaches women to defend themselves Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

“You should be like Cinderella leaving the ball because one of your shoes is now stuck in his foot,” said Frank Barry, self-defense instructor, as he demonstrated stomping the instep of a potential assailant during the Self-Defense for Women class Oct. 17 at Harney Sports Complex. This was one of several techniques taught during the quarterly class, which was sponsored by Army Community Service’s Family Advocacy Program. “Self-defense is important in that it offers muscle memory when your body is in a high stress situation, and your brain isn’t responding as quickly as one would like,” said Tricia Green, FAP victim advocate. “It is especially important for women because most times women are smaller and need to have a plan to outsmart their attacker, rather than depending on size and strength. “(Self-defense) is especially important to practice and know your plan. It is also quite empowering to women of domestic violence, helping to repair selfesteem,” she said. “My hope for the women taking this course is to grow stronger, more confident and aware of their environment and ability to overcome obstacles.” During the course, Barry taught 14 women basic jujutsu techniques such as the naked choke and the seven hands of attack. “The seven hands of attack, you’ve got nearly 5,040 combinations,” Barry said. “If there is something you don’t like, there is a technique you’ll eventually find that you do like.” Barry also gave participants tips for how to protect family members. “Have a safe word, a safe phrase that your children understand that when they hear it, they don’t ask any questions, they don’t come see what’s going on, but they leave the house and they go to the neighbors, kick the neighbor’s door in and tell them to call the cops,” Barry said. Additionally, after an attack Barry cautioned participants to be careful what they say after police respond to the scene. “Police don’t know who the good person is, they don’t know who the bad person is,” Barry said. “In this country, you don’t have to talk to anybody. The police show up and go, ‘what happened,’ the first thing out of your mouth should be, ‘call a lawyer.’ That is not a privilege. That is a right.” At the end of the 90-minute class, participants were also given a folder with different informational pamphlets, a DVD featuring more self-defense moves and self-defense books. Ferrah Brandon said she was glad she took the class and enjoyed that it was geared toward women. “It is empowering because at the end of the day, I believe that we are capable of doing a lot, but when it comes to natural strength, I believe men are naturally stronger than women,” Brandon said. “I think one thing that’s important, and what this class provides you, is knowledge. If we have knowledge, that’s something that our assailant is not going to expect, and I think that will give us an edge over them trying to attack us.” Brandon said the class also gave her more confidence.

“It gives me enough confidence to where I don’t have to be 100 percent scared because I know that even if I can only remember 5 percent of what I learned that could be just enough for me to get free or take down the person that is trying to hurt me,” she said. Jancel Keough, Alliance Against Family Violence shelter

advocate, said even though she has studied martial arts, the class made her realize that she could be victim to an attack. “I’m not used to thinking that way. I’m used to thinking combative, so (the class) is actually really informative because a lot of women don’t realize that that stuff can happen to them,” Keough said. “For some women,

being small and dainty, you have to learn how to defend yourself and how to protect yourself because there are people who are out there who will try and attack, so it is good to know that you’re able to protect yourself instead of having to have someone with you at all times.” Keough attended the class with three fellow AAFV advocates who were encouraged to come by Tracie Lafontaine, AAFV police response advocate coordinator. “This is my second (self-defense class) on post. I did it last

quarter, and I really liked it, so I brought some different advocates with me this time,” Lafontaine said. “I grew up in (Leavenworth), but I never before would even think about having a selfdefense class. Starting this job, I’m more aware of what is happening, so now I’m like, ‘yeah, I need to go.’” Upcoming Self-Defense for Women classes, for women 16 years old and older, are 6:30-8 p.m. Jan. 23, April 16 and July 16 at Harney. To register, call ACS at 684-2800. The class is free.

Aquatics class strengthens balance, core Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

An hour of hard work was rewarded with a leap into the pool as the Float2Fit aquatics class came to an end Oct. 22 at Harney Sports Complex’s indoor pool. The Float2Fit class began in August and is the newest water-based fitness option available on Fort Leavenworth. “It is aquatic-based stability training, so it is really good for balance and core strength,” said Julie Keller, aquatics instructor. “As you age, everybody’s balance gets worse, so it is just a good way to keep that balance going while also working on your core. Everything we do, even changing positions on the board, you have to use so much core. It is engaged all the time because your surface is not stable.” During the class, participants perform various resistance band exercises, push-ups, lunges and yoga positions including downward dog, child’s pose, planks, superman and reverse crunches all while perched on floating fitness mats. Keller, who also teaches water aerobics, said waterbased workouts offer many benefits that land-based workouts don’t. “It is easier on your joints,” Keller said. “If you have weight-bearing injuries, it is really great to be in the water versus on land.” The relief on joints is one reason why Jill Frederickson joined the class. “I had back surgery a year ago, and I wanted to continue to strengthen my core, and this is a great class for it because you have to work on your balance and just strengthening your stomach,” Frederickson said. “I think my balance has gotten better, and my back doesn’t hurt as much, so I do think that my core is getting stronger, too. This takes the weight off my joints, and it is nice to my back, so I can still do what I want to do, get a good workout and get stronger.” While the water helps take pressure off the joints, Keller said the muscles are getting a more focused workout, too. “It is more resistance. I don’t think people realize how much harder it is to move things in the water,” Keller said. “For example, a bicep curl. You’re going to get the work coming up,
