Post shows appreciation for retirees, veterans Katie Peterson | Staff Writer
Hundreds of military retirees, veterans and their families flooded the Lewis and Clark Center to learn about changes coming to TRICARE, receive their flu shots and visit more than 40 different vendors, who provided them with resources and support, during the 55th annual Retiree and Veteran Appreciation Day Oct. 26. “This may be the very best opportunity of the year to celebrate what it means to be a soldier for life and the equivalent for the other services, and I’m certainly humbled to be here among all of you,” said Garrison Commander Col. Harry Hung during the opening ceremony. “I hope you’ll have that same sense of awe as you look to your left and right in this auditorium knowing that you’re amongst brothers and sisters who have worn the cloth of our nation regardless of service from every generation since the Greatest Generation.” The opening ceremony included presentations by the Leavenworth High School Junior ROTC Cavalry Angels and

Raiders teams, the playing of each branch of services’ song, and remarks from Hung and Munson Army Health Center Commander Col. Scott Mower. Hung said the Fort Leavenworth retiree and veteran community has close to 7,500 members. “Among them are two Medal of Honor recipients with service
in Vietnam. We also have eight World War II veterans and 20 Korean War veterans in our retiree community,” Hung said. “These sacrifices made by our soldiers, 70 to 80 years ago, help to create the world that we live in today, one with freedom and far less tyranny. As each year goes by, fewer and fewer of the Greatest Generation and Silent Genera-
tion remain. “For the Baby Boomers through Generation X, you served in Vietnam, the Gulf War, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and countless other places around the world as our nation called upon our armed forces to defend freedom and secure national interests,” Hung
said. “In the course of the last 50 years, we’ve reshaped our U.S. Army as well as our joint force to be the preeminent land force in the military and the world, today. We thank you for your sacrifices at home, abroad and while in harm’s way.” Hung also updated attendees SEE RETIREE DAY | A2
LHS Raiders teams excel at regional meet Sam Campbell | Fort Leonard Wood Public Affairs
FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. — The 1st Engineer Brigade hosted Fort Leonard Wood’s fifth annual Junior ROTC Raider Challenge Oct. 19 — a highly-physical, allday, multi-event competition designed to test the high schoolers’ mettle. Leavenworth High School Team 1 won first place in overall team score. Junction City (Kan.) High School’s Team 1 finished second, and Leavenworth’s Team 2 finished third. “This is a big event for 1st Engineer Brigade, for Fort Leonard Wood, for all of (the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence) and certainly a big event for all of these high schools,” said Col. Kip Korth, U.S. Army Engineer School commandant. “We had 19 teams show up this time.” The Waynesville JROTC program acted as a sponsor of the event, with cadre and cadets from the district volunteering their time to assist in scoring, oversight and other administrative tasks. Cadets joined each other near the Fort Leonard Wood Horse Stables for a five-kilometer run just before sunrise, and later battled for first place in four rapid-succession events, including the “gauntlet,” a strength and speed exercise where teams raced to carry a 68-pound dummy on a litter for two miles; the physical endurance course, which features rope climbs, high

wall obstacles and crawls under barbed wire; the one-rope bridge, a task requiring cadets to cross a gap using nothing more than one rope, carabiners and quick teamwork; and the physical training test, a multi-part fitness exam, requiring alternating exercises of crawls, pullups, quarter-mile sprints and dummy carries. Cadet Anthony Black from Boonslick Technical Education Center, out of Boonville, Mo., said the gauntlet became challenging, but he and his team took heart in their shared purpose. “We kind of hit that point where we started to
ask ourselves why we’re out here doing this in the first place — because there are a lot more things we could be doing that’s not putting us through this physical stress — but really we started thinking about our own will and how to get through the obstacle ahead of us,” he said. “Teamwork has helped to bring us together.” Retired 1st Sgt. Wayne Cogdill, LHS JROTC instructor, led his team to back-to-back runner-up trophies at the national Raider competition. He said he enjoys bringing his team across state lines to compete at the installation partially due to its inten-
sive physical endurance course. “I love the facilities,” Cogdill said. “(Cadets) actually get on a real military obstacle course. It gets my kids ready for nationals.” Retired Col. Charles Williams, Waynesville JROTC instructor, said the competition is attractive to teams far and wide because of the hard work 1st Engineer Brigade puts in. “There’s probably 100 lieutenants and noncommissioned officers out here working,” he said during the competition. Teams want to come here “because of what 1st Engineer Brigade does.” Korth praised the
brigade for organizing an event of such high quality, and said that nationally recognized programs seem to be forged at Fort Leonard Wood’s competition. “Over the last two years, the runner-up from the national (Raider challenge) has come from this event here at Fort Leonard Wood,” Korth said. “I am confident that the national winner will come from here,.” Wrapping up the day, each team selected two of its top runners to compete in the Raider Buddy Run along the path surrounding the barracks at Indiana and Kansas avenues. Every cadet, cadre, instructor, volunteer and spectator lined the way to cheer on the competitors. Cogdill said he hopes his cadets walked away from this experience with an appreciation for teamwork. “It’s a competition.
We’re here to win, but you know, at the end of the day, it’s all about these kids,” he said. Korth agreed. “They are taking care of each other and moving forward together,” he said. “I’m absolutely impressed by that.” He added that the cadets’ dedication to something larger than themselves inspires him. “These young men and women — this is the future of not only our military but our nation,” Korth said. “Whether they decide to join the military or not, it doesn’t matter ... They will be successful, but the values, the leadership, the teamwork, the toughness that they learned here in JROTC will carry them forward.” Editor’s note: The Leavenworth High School teams will compete in the national championship Nov. 2-3 in Molena, Ga.

USD 207 school board receives audit report Katie Peterson | Staff Writer
Karen Linn, certified public accountant and managing director from Berberich Trahan & Co., briefed Unified School District 207 board members on the results of the 201819 schoolyear financial audit during the monthly board meeting Oct. 28 at the board office. The company did not identify any significant or unusual transactions or significant accounting policies in controversial or emerging areas for which

there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus; encountered no disagreements with management over the application of significant accounting principles, the basis for management’s judgements on any significant matters, the scope of the audit or significant disclosures to be included in the financial statement; no significant issues arising from the audit were discussed or the subject of correspondence with management; and did not encounter any significant difficulties in dealing
with management during the audit. SuAnn Grant, USD 207 deputy superintendent, provided the board with a special education update. As of Sept. 20, USD 207 accommodates 232 SPED students. The SPED program assists students with autism, developmental delays, learning disabilities, and speech and language deficiencies. The three elementary schools and the overall district also have new SPED employees including Jake Scherer, interrelated teacher at Bradley
Elementary School; Kara Perkins, speech language pathologist at Eisenhower Elementary School; Susan Finn, speech language pathologist, and Catherine Hutchens, interrelated teacher at MacArthur Elementary School; and Reagan Riggs, social worker, and Heather Wilk, compliance facilitator, for the district. During the meeting, the board approved plans to change the acoustics of Bradley’s cafeteria, after they were briefed at a special board meeting Oct. 11
at the board office. The project, which will include raising the wall up to the roof deck, is meant to reduce the noise level of the cafeteria. “It has been more noticeable over the last couple of years because the enrollment at Bradley has increased,” said Keith Mispagel, USD 207 superintendent. “It is not like the kids are talking loudly, but when 100 kids are all having conversations over lunch, it boggles the mind,” added Rich Holden, USD
207 chief financial officer. Hollis+Miller Architects will head the project, and work will begin in June 2020. All board meetings are open to the public. For an overview of the meeting and the minutes, visit https://www.boarddocs.co m/ks/usd207/Board.nsf/Pu blic. The next USD 207 board meeting is at 4:30 p.m. Nov. 25 in the MacArthur Elementary School cafeteria.

about changes that would benefit them. Starting Jan. 1, 2020, all service connected disabled veterans, Purple Heart recipients, former Prisoners of War and primary veteran caregivers will be eligible to shop at commissaries and exchanges, with the use of their veterans’ health identification card. Additionally, the Department of Defense is modernizing ID cards to protect cardholder privacy and personal information by implementing a barcode that will eliminate the cardholder’s Social Security number from all DoD ID cards. The cards will go into effect later in the fall. ID cardholders who still have their Social Security number on the front of their card will have first priority replacement. Hung also encouraged attendees to sign up for an online account with the Defense Finance and Accounting Service. “It is the most efficient way to receive correspondence on your retired pay,” Hung said. “The email process used by DFAS sends millions of messages monthly, notifying our military retirees on updated pay account statements and other information that is available on the agency’s online myPay management site.” Hung also briefed attendees on construction improvements around post including the repaving of the Grant Avenue gate and the expansion of the Post Exchange happening in 2020, before concluding his remarks. “Thank you for your service to our nation and for allowing us this opportunity to show our appreciation for your enduring contributions to our community,” Hung said. “Some of you will go straight to get flu shots and update your ID cards, and some of you are probably down there already trying to beat the line. “My hope is that you’ll stick around before you leave, talk to someone you haven’t before, perhaps from another generation to share your story of service,” he said. Mower briefed attendees about the MAHC and left them with one message. As of Oct. 1, MAHC and other medical treatment facilities are now a part of the Defense Health Agency, however, the change will not affect services. Following the formal ceremony, attendees had the choice to go to the vendors, attend a talk about preparation for surviving spouses or attend a questionand-answer session about TRICARE changes.

can only do it once a year during open season enrollment, so it’s really important.” Attendees said they appreciated the fact that this year’s event gave them free reign. Vietnam veteran retired Army Master Sgt. Larry Gorsh said he liked the variety of vendors available. “It is very worthwhile,” Gorsh said. “The booths where they give out information on things and points of interest for veterans is most helpful.” Retired Army Col. Peggy Sullivan and her husband Jonathan Hyde, who have attended the event for many years, said they liked that the opening ceremony was shorter. “(Retiree Day) has changed in that they don’t give as many long talks in the auditorium, and they let people make decisions about what they need,” Sullivan said. “Kathy does the TRICARE thing, and when we first started coming, we needed that information because we were new to it,” Hyde added. “We understand it now, so we didn’t need to sit through that again.” Overall, Sullivan said the event is helpful with many kinds of issues. “You’ve got to come at least once and see what’s available,” Sullivan said. “You can make your own decision after that, especially if there is any kind of changes in any of your benefits because they’ll help you.”

AAFES is top friendly employer of military spouses, magazine says Army and Air Force Exchange Service
DALLAS — The Army and Air Force Exchange Service has been named a Military Friendly Spouse Employer for the eighth time by Viqtory Media, publisher of Military Spouse magazine. The Military Friendly Spouse Employer list recognizes companies based on six key criteria: hiring and onboarding; opportunity and advancement; culture and commitment; support and retention; policies and compliance; and recruiting and sourcing. “The Exchange benefits daily from the experience and perspective of associates who are spouses of active-duty service members,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Luis Reyes, Exchange senior enlisted adviser. “These asso-
ciates understand the unique challenges of military life. They are a vital part of the Exchange family.” As of October 2019, the Exchange has employed more than 6,000 military spouses, comprising 21 percent of the workforce. The Exchange is committed to hiring 50,000 veterans and military spouses by 2020 and has 10,000 hires to go, before meeting its goal. “The Exchange recognizes how important military spouses are to our workforce, that’s why we have developed the Associate Transfer Program, allowing military spouses an opportunity to stay employed with the Exchange as they PCS with their military member,” said Leigh Roop, executive vice president and chief human resources officer. “Military spouses have a personal
connection with our mission, our customers and relate to our core value of family serving family, which is why we value them.” Military Friendly measures an organization’s commitment, effort and success at creating benefits and employment opportunities for veterans and their families that are both sustainable and meaningful during frequent geographic relocations. The 2020 Military Friendly Spouse Employers list will be published in the January issue of Military Spouse magazine and is available online at MilitaryFriendly.com. Veterans, military spouses and others seeking employment with the Exchange can visit applymyexchange.com to view job openings worldwide.

Ghost stories, old and new, told at tour Katie Peterson | Staff Writer
Over this past year, a new family moved into a historic house on Sherman Avenue. As they were moving in, they noticed a chalk drawing of a little girl on a porch brick. Finding the picture cute and thinking it was done by a child of the previous resident, the family decided to name the girl “Sally.” As the family continued to move in, odd things began to happen. Boxes were being opened and the contents removed, and boxes already opened were repacked. Additionally, boxes left at the bottom of the stairs to be taken up to the second floor the next morning were already taken up when the family woke up. “The family started to say, ‘Sally did it. Sally put it away,’ and it was a running joke in the family,” explained Bronwen Pence, Friends of the Frontier Army Museum Frontier Tribute Trail director, at her FFAM Haunted Fort Leavenworth Tours stop Oct. 25. Six months later, the mother and daughter were putting away groceries, and they left some 25-gallon water jugs on the porch to bring in the next day. The next morning, the mother woke up to find her daughter already gone having headed back to college and the water jugs brought inside. “She sends a text message to her daughter and says, ‘Thank you so much for bringing the jugs inside. I appreciate it,’” Pence continued. “Her daughter texts back immediately. ‘Oh mom, it must have been Sally. I didn’t do it.’” The mom laughs, puts her phone down and goes about the day. Two hours later, the mom gets another text from her daughter that says, ‘Mom, what are you talking about?’ “(Mom) scrolls through her texts,” Pence said, “and

the text that she saw, from her own phone said, ‘You’re welcome, but my name is Anna.’” This was one of several modern and firsthand ghost stories told during the walking tours Oct. 25 and 26. The 10-stop tour, with many stops consisting of more than one story, began at the Old U.S. Disciplinary Barracks and was attended by more than 700 people from the Fort Leavenworth community and beyond. At each stop, attendees gathered around a roaring campfire, an aspect one attendee appreciated. “Every single one of these houses I wanted to go in. I love to be scared. I love the fright,” said tour attendee Matt Androes. “Halloween is my favorite
holiday.” FFAM board member Tracy Martling, tour coordinator, said she thinks the reason the event draws so much attention each year is because the installation has so many ghost stories to tell. “You never get the same experience year after year,” Martling said. “We have great storytellers that have been doing this for years that have developed quite a reputation for telling amazing stories that raise the hairs on your neck. “I hope (attendees) experience the thrills and chills of hearing these stories, get to experience the historical significance of the stories and the people they’re told about, and most of all, we hope that
they are happy that they spent the night with us,” she said. Each year, the money raised goes toward the restoration of museum artifacts, the Frontier Tribute Trail and scholarships among other FFAM causes, said Corie Weathers, FFAM public relations volunteer and walking tour guide. “There is a lot of really great history in the museum, so a lot of the proceeds that we get tonight will go toward the museum,” Weathers said. “There are only a few installations that are actually considered haunted, but (Fort Leavenworth) is so historic and so old that it’s got a lot of really good stories.” Other firsthand tales in-
cluded Tanya Berg’s own accounts while living at 611 and 612 Scott Ave., and Carlos Munoz’s own experiences while living at the “Rookery.” Additionally, like Pence, Anne Munoz told recent activity experienced by the current residents of 2 Sumner Ave. Other traditional tales included stories that happened in the old USDB, and No. 1 Scott Ave. Capt. Todd Rossbach, Command and General Staff Officer Course student, and his wife Beth said they both appreciated the modern, firsthand stories more than the old stories. “It was personal experience, so it’s more believable,” Todd Rossbach said. “I think they are all things that happened, but it’s more believable when it’s more current,” Beth Rossbach added. “I feel like
it’s the telephone game. I’m sure stuff changes over the years when it’s from a long time ago.” Overall, the Rossbachs said they enjoyed the tour. “Something on the tour that was nice is there were other aspects of the Fort Leavenworth history like some of the generals that lived in the house,” Todd Rossbach said. “It helped bring some of the other history that we wouldn’t have learned about apart from the ghost stories.” “Every post that you live at, you try to learn some things, but (the ghost stories) make (Fort Leavenworth) unique,” Beth Rossbach said. “A lot of my non-military friends think it is so frightening that we live here because we’re near a prison. They don’t even know about any of this stuff.”

Pre-K students head outdoors for adventure Katie Peterson | Staff Writer
The Army Child and Youth Services’ Strong Beginnings program at the Osage Child Development Center completed its latest adventure with a hike along one of the Weston Bend State Park trails Oct. 23. Ten pre-kindergarten students, along with their teachers Mary Erickson and Lesia Watson, and parent Kristal Thomas, followed the Harpst Trail, collecting pieces of nature along the way. “The purpose of the hike was to provide a realworld connection for the children,” said Erickson, Strong Beginnings lead teacher. “It is a wonderful opportunity to get them outside.” The field trip also coincided with the current study of trees in the classroom. “We use the Creative Curriculum resource,” Erickson said. “Each Creative Curriculum study is four to six weeks in length and focuses on individualized instruction, provides meaningful learning experiences, addresses essential objectives for development and learning.” Strong Beginnings, designed for 4- to 5-year-old children, is a program available at every Army garrison, according to U.S. Army Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. The Fort Leavenworth program began in 2010. “The Army Strong Beginnings Pre-K is a program designed to prepare children to be successful to enter school,” according to the U.S. Army FMWR website. “Curriculum focuses on the social, emotional, and physical development of children;

equips them with basic academics and kindergarten classroom etiquette skills to enhance school readiness.” The hike was the second field trip the Osage CDC program has been on this year, the first being a bus tour of Fort Leavenworth. The class also touches on writing, math, science, social studies and reading, as
well as the basics like following directions, learning numbers, colors and shapes. Thomas said she’s glad her daughter, 5-year-old Annalise, is in the program, and thinks she’ll be well-prepared for kindergarten. “She’s really opened up socially, which was a concern for us because she’s an
only kid, so it has been a big improvement in just the month and a half that she’s been in school so far,” Thomas said. “She’s figured out how to play together, not just side by side, and be a little bit more assertive, whereas before she was a little bit more passive. If somebody came up and played somewhere that she was, she would walk away,
but not now. She’s really gotten it this year.” Thomas said she’s glad the classes are smaller, too. “They all look out for each other. They are all-inclusive,” Thomas said. “It is cool to see them exploring things together. “The unique thing about being here at Leavenworth, too, is, because of (the Command and General Staff College) and the other schools, you have a lot of international students that come and their kids attend the schools, so getting to expose her to as many different kids as possible is really important to us,” she said. Thomas said she was also happy with the faculty. “I think the kids are so
well behaved because they genuinely like and respect their teachers and because the teachers genuinely like and respect their students as well,” Thomas said. “Kids know.” The Strong Beginnings program meets 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The program is open to children of active-duty military and Department of the Army civilians living on and off post.

Fall orienteer meet tests racer strategies Connie Carpenter | Fort Leavenworth Outdoor Adventure Series
The Great Pumpkin Orienteer Meet showcased fall colors, light winds, and cool temperatures setting the perfect conditions for a clean run and technically competitive meet Oct. 26. The event offered three courses designed to test orienteers’ attack plans and attention to details. Competitive participants sought to develop an attack plan that captured controls in a sequential pattern minimizing time and distance. Other participants chose to take a leisurely walk with family through the autumn splendor teaching juniors orienteers the art of orienteering with a map. Orienteer courses specify distances using “as the crow flies” measurements. While the longer course listed the distance as 6.1 kilometers, the actual distance was dependent upon the orienteer’s attack plan. For example, the crow-fly distance between control 5 and 6 was approximately one kilometer. In developing their attack plan, orienteers’ choices included solely following trails, using a hybrid hardball and trail running route, or bushwhacking through woods and trails. Edwin Callahan topped the leader board clearing the seven controls in 34 minutes, 22 seconds. Rebecca Garza chose to sharpen her navigation and map reading skills while preparing for Officer Candidate School in early December. Garza topped the solo-female division and cleared the course in 1:35. Team Duncan — Mike and Katie Duncan — led the family
division locating all controls in 1:30. A mix of solo competitors, duos, and families competed in the shorter, 2.7-kilometer orienteer course. Solo competitors Mike Eglinski, 16:29, and Christy Molzen, 29:46, cleared the course and led their divisions. Family Team Superwomen Plus Mom and Dad — dad Gary, mom Nicole and daughters Katelyn and Greta Lysaght — edged out Team Mac — dad Tim, mom Jenna, and children Laine and Leigh McDonald — by 60 seconds locating five controls in 33:30. Duo Team Cardinals — Kathy and Lizzie Pegg — took first in the two-person division in 44:16. The mini orienteer event was dubbed “Sprint for the Cookies.” Solos, teams and junior orienteers completing the sprint course in the fastest time received boxes of gourmet cookies. Four teams and fourteen solos dashed through the 900-meter, eightcontrol course. Junior orienteers Danielle and William Wainwright topped their female and male divisions with times of 6:26 and 9:28. Edwin Callahan captured the solo-male division in 4:15. Mary Callahan led the solo-female division sprinting the distance in 5:47. Finally, Team Callahan — Edwin, Mary, Lucas and Liam Callahan — scored a triple crown leading the family division in 8:02. The Fort Leavenworth Outdoor Adventure Series continues Nov. 30 with the Gobbler Orienteer Meet starting at 8:30 a.m. at Gruber Fitness Center parking lot.

Ice, snow removal responsibilities in housing Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities
Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities removes snow and ice from starts, stops, hills, school sidewalks and crosswalks, public sidewalks, roads and parking lots in residential areas only if there are two or more inches of snow on the ground. Residents are responsible for the removal of snow and ice between any common sidewalk or road and the front or back door and driveways. During a snowstorm or unsafe weather conditions, snow and ice removal will be delayed until weather conditions ease and return to a safe status. Vehicles should not be parked on the street when possible. Residents are asked not to use salt products to de-ice around their homes because it can damage the concrete. For more information about snow and ice removal, see the Resident Guidelines and Community Handbook or call (913) 682-6300. Residents are reminded to drain and disconnect garden hoses and outside hose connections to prevent pipes from freezing. Failure to do so will result in residents being held responsible
for any damage caused by frozen pipes. If freezing temperatures are predicted, remember to let a steady drip of water run from the highest faucet in the house. Also leave under-sink cabinet doors open so room heat can reach the pipes. Don’t set the thermostat below 60 degrees if leaving home for a few days and try to have a friend stop by to check in. An extended-absence-from-home form can be obtained at the Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities office at 220 Hancock Ave. This form allows residents to appoint someone to notify in case of an emergency. If a pipe does burst, know how to turn off the home’s water supply quickly to minimize damage. Feel free to ask a maintenance technician to help locate the shut-off valve during your next home visit. Call maintenance at (913) 651-3838 immediately if a pipe has frozen.
