Both events are sched-uled for 4-6 p.m. and will feature free menu sam-pling, door prizes and free plays on its Buzz Time electronic games, dart boards and pool tables.

Additionally, the Sports Zone will of-fer free plays on its full-sized golf simu-lator.

Two Newly-Renovated Sports Bars to Re-open

The U.S. Army Quartermaster School named Marine Staff Sgt. Van L. Jenkins as the 2011 Distinguished Instructor of the Year in a ceremony Nov. 9 at Mullens Auditorium.

Jenkins is an instructor for Marine NCOs learning ad-vanced culinary skills.

Jenkins began his career as a food service specialist when he enlisted in the Marines 19 years ago. He didn’t choose the military occupational speciality; the Marines chose it for him.

“I never wanted to be a cook. I wanted to join the Marine Corps to become a infantryman,” said Jenkins. “But because they needed cooks, I became one.”

During his career, Jenkins has trained with some of the finest cooks in the military. He has attended the Pro Chef School in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., where Marine NCOs train to become general aides.

“The ProChef Certification course is only for top-notch students, Jenkins said. “Participants are hand selected to at-tend.”

Jenkins is the second in his family to receive this award here. His grandfather, whom he was named after, also re-ceived the award years ago when he was an Army chef.

“In some way, I was destined to become a food service specialist and win this award,” said Jenkins. “It’s in my blood.”

Students aspiring to become Marine chefs are able to learn and work alongside Jenkins as part of their initial training to complete their MOS instruction prior to entering the fleet.

Pvt. Damen Snell, one of Jenkin’s students said his in-structor deserved the distinction.

“He has earned it,” he said. “He has taken a small class of Marines and turned us into fine cooks.”

Jenkins hasn’t let earning the title spoil his approach to instructing his students. He keeps it simple.

“Leave what’s in the fleet in the fleet. Being an instruc-tor, you have to be patient and have an open mind so that your students feel comfortable asking you questions,” said Jenkins.

The staff sergeant was awarded a Navy Commendation Medal for his win along with prizes that include a plaque, a desk name plate, and gift cards from Morale Welfare and Recreation and the Quartermaster Association.

Winners of the Distinguished Instructor of the Year award compete in the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Competion which includes all the winners from military bas-es throughout the U.S. Jenkins will compete in next year’s completion, with hope of another win.

FORT LEEHoliday GuideSurviving Holiday DeploymentsBy Tiffany SilverbergMilitary Spouse Contributor

Nothing highlights the loneliness of deployment like holi-days. The warm winter commercials and store-displays turn into mocking reminders. The empty chair at the table calls out to us. The kissy scenes of New Year’s Eve are like pokes in the gut. But as military spouses, we are the masters of turning the ordinary into extraordinary. We can deftly trans-form those holidays we want to forget into memories we will always remember.

As a military spouse herself, my mom had her own holiday scheme. As a child, to me it seemed like another example of her quirkiness, but as an adult, I see the brilliance. Her scheme involved trying something new. Instead of pushing through all the same traditions, with someone missing, she found some-thing else for us to do – another way to celebrate and em-brace the holidays, without focusing on what we didn’t have the years that Dad was gone. We picked up and spent winter holidays on the Hawaiian beaches. She filled our home with other families and singles who needed a home on a holiday. We tried new foods and new activities. It filled our days with vibrant, cultural memories. Now our family traditions are a conglomeration of all the places we lived and all the things we experienced. And to be honest, I don’t really remember the holidays Dad missed, just the memories we made.

Each holiday presents so many opportunities to focus your energy on other traditions. Head out to a local soup kitchen and volunteer. Open your home to other families. Book your-

self a cruise or travel somewhere new. Go to a new destina-tion, where the climate is different and the holiday is for-gotten. Give yourself a break, by not putting the standard pressures on yourself. Embrace the holiday’s excuse to relax.

However, putting nostalgic traditions behind for a year doesn’t work for everyone. The year my husband was de-ployed, he missed all the major cold weather holidays. I couldn’t bring myself to ignore the holiday. By that point in the deployment, I had been home alone for too many months. I needed tradition. I wanted the embrace of family so I slumped “home” for Thanksgiving and then Christmas. I wept, as I walked through the terminals at Chicago OHare and heard “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” Quite surreal when my “home” was flying over Afghanistan, and he would not be home. It was hard to ignore the holidays that year – I had to just push through.

So I developed my own scheme. Instead of trying some-thing new, I faced the holidays head on… with a plan to es-cape whenever I needed to. I always had an out, an escape to my room, wherever we were, at least once throughout the day. Whether I needed to change clothes or check my emails or reorganize my purse, whatever I said was the reason, I always had that escape to cry it out. I would sob out all the loneliness, the bitterness, the jealously, the annoyance, the exhaustion that came with facing the holidays, surrounded by family but alone. Knowing I had a place to just recharge kept the smile on, even when my heart felt shattered.

And finally, there is the denial technique - which we all employ to some degree or another. We still buy gifts that he

won’t open until he gets home. We keep the tree up – through spring and summer if necessary. We hang his stocking and favorite ornaments. We bake his favorite cookies. It’s the old “leave his boots by the front door” technique. Because ev-erything at the holidays is a blaring reminder that he’s gone, some things have to be as though he were home.

Most importantly, through all the heartache and confusion of missed holidays, we military spouses have a common cop-ing technique, the one thing that keeps us going - we focus on the end. We know we have the best holiday of all com-ing. Our holiday has its own ornaments – from American flags to welcome home signs. Glitter, hearts, and red, white and blue are our decoration ingredients. We shop for months for just the right outfits. We clean the house like we haven’t done in months. We make special grocery shopping trips and start filling the refrigerator with goodies. We make lists, stop sleeping and await our big holiday, like giddy children. And when our day finally arrives, we join those who know that the giggles and grins, gratitude and gifts of that day far outweigh any that were missed.

As the holiday shopping season is quickly approaching, the hustle and bustle of shopping can create unwanted stress. Whether you are stateside shopping for a loved one overseas or planning to give gifts to family members — it’s important to shop smart, always be aware of your surroundings and follow these tips to stay on budget.

Make a list and set a budgetList the people you plan to buy gifts for, the

type of gifts you plan to buy and how much you plan to spend.

Shop aroundRemember, a sale price isn’t always the best

price. Look out for marketing phrases such as “While supplest last,” “Minimum two per

store,” “No rain checks” or “All items are avail-able in limited quantities.” Have an action plan for shopping.

Avoid carrying too many packagesAlways have one hand free. Do not leave

packages visible in your car. If you continue to shop after placing packages in your trunk, move your vehicle to another location.

Go onlineCheck out price comparison on websites

such as PriceGrabber.com, Pricescan.com or Shopzilla.com. Retail companies often provide free shipping on items purchased online.

Use credit and debit cards with careKeep a paper trail by saving your receipts.

Ask for a store receipt and a gift receipt. With-out one, a customer may not be eligible for a refund or the retailer may offer a store credit

at the lowest price the item was sold for, which could be less than the amount paid. Check credit and debit card sales and return receipts against your monthly bills and statements and report any problems to the credit card issuer.

Ship packages earlyIf you’re sending gifts out of the country or

to out-of-towners, factor extra time for ship-ping. According to the U.S. Postal Service, Dec. 10 is the last day priority mail is sent for arrival before Christmas.

Make the most out of your holiday season by shopping online, on the phone or at your local mall.

Make Toy Shopping Lists Work HarderWith family budgets a little tighter this year, many parents

may be taking a closer look at their children’s toy lists. They still want to put smiles on their children’s faces and build holiday memories, but they also want to make wise choices with lasting value.

Play is important to your child’s development. Toys add magic and excitement to learning – about life, about how things work and about how to get along with others. And of course, as children grow, their skills and needs continually change. So keep that holiday wish list, but make sure it works hard for both parents and children.

Take a closer look at the toys children have requested or that are being considering. Will the toy allow the child to experience long-lasting playtime or a more complete play experience? Are there toys on the list that kids will enjoy coming back to again and again – or will they lose interest after the first time they play with them? If buying for several children, can the toys be enjoyed by siblings – or even the whole family?

There are several suggestions. Toys do not have to be expen-sive to be beneficial. Playtime is an opportunity to promote ev-ery aspect of development, fostering physical, social, emotional, language, cognitive and imaginative skills. Some toys develop all of these in an integrated way, while others focus on one or a few. Look for toys that enhance skills in different areas:

SOLO PLAYThis helps children learn about themselves, fostering self-

esteem, self-direction and values. Allow children to explore their creative sides on their own.

TEAM WORKThis helps them practice social skills such as sharing, ne-

gotiating and cooperating with others. Some toys provide an easy way for children to build their creativity while playing together.

IMAGINATIONThis stimulates and enhances creativity and imagination,

providing a rich resource for language development and so-cial competence.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND MOTOR SKILLSThis promotes movement, improving eye-hand coordina-

tion and balance while increasing strength and agility.

LEARNINGThis introduces basic academics, from letters, numbers

and words to more advanced school-ready concepts.

Before you head out to toy stores or surf websites to do your holiday shopping, here are three other important factors worth keeping in mind:

• Fit the age and stage of your child’s development.• Suit their play interests.

• Have multiple ways to play, or provide content that is both entertaining and engaging once the toys are out of the box.

As the December holiday season quickly approaches, so does the opportunity for Fort Lee’s advanced individ-ual training students to visit home for the first time since leaving for basic training.

A two-week period at the end of December is designat-ed for Holiday Block Leave. For the 23rd Quartermaster Brigade, the official dates are Dec. 17 - Jan. 2, and for the 59th Ordnance Bde., the official dates are Dec. 18 - Jan. 3.

The two schools have different procedures for travel-ing, with the exception of a coordinating schedule to bring Soldiers to the bus station on Dec. 17.

For the 23rd QM Bde., which includes students at the Transportation School, Soldiers will be authorized to travel home by air (Richmond International), bus (Greyhound-Fort Lee), train (Amtrak-Petersburg) or by a family member (parent, guardian, grandparent, sibling or spouse) in a privately-owned vehicle, said Capt. Ryan Murphy, 23rd QM Bde. assistant S-3.

If a 23rd QM Bde. Soldier is being picked up by a fam-ily member, it has to be arranged beforehand through the Soldier’s chain of command, and the family member will receive additional guidance by letter, said Murphy.

Tickets can be purchased from the installation’s Leisure Travel Services or online by the Soldier. Family members may also purchase tickets for their Soldier. The travel must take place between Dec. 17 and Jan. 2.

If a Soldier is flying, they will need to buy a James River bus ticket from Fort Lee to the airport in Richmond. Tickets can be purchased for a bus trip back, or students can take a cab or use Groome Transportation.

Brigade transportation will be available for students re-turning by train to Petersburg.

Soldiers from the 23rd QM Bde. are able to leave any day starting Dec. 17, as long as they return on or by Jan. 2, said Murphy. If they choose not to leave for Holiday Block Leave, they will stay in a rear detachment company that will have numerous free and discounted activities available for the Soldiers each day.

For students from the 59th Ord. Bde., travel is al-lowed by air, train, bus or privately-owned vehicle by a family member (parent, guardian, grandparent, sibling or spouse). Family members will also receive additional guidance regarding the particulars for pickup, said Maj. Dominque Chatters, 59th Ord. Bde. operations officer. When the Soldier informs his Chain of Command that he or she will be picked up by a specific family member, the unit will then mail a letter to that person with instructions

on when and where the pick-up is authorized. When fam-ily members arrive their ID will be verified and matched against the name the Soldier submitted and the Soldier will be released.

The 59th Ord. Bde. has set aside the evening of Dec. 16 for Soldiers being picked up by family members, Dec. 17 for bus or rail travel, and Dec. 18 for all air travel.

Airline tickets may be purchased through the Leisure Travel Services and a sales kiosk has been set up in the Ordnance Gym and is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 5-7 p.m. Soldiers may also purchase airline tickets online or directly from the airlines. Family members may purchase tickets for their Soldier. Richmond International Airport is the only authorized airport of departure and tickets should be purchased for Dec. 18.

Students in the 59th Ord. Bde., must return to Fort Lee by Jan. 3, and it is recommended to pre-arrange travel to return on that day.

Soldiers will be transported to Richmond International Airport on busses operated by James River Bus Lines. Tickets for the bus are being sold for select dates at the 832nd Ord. Bn. classroom, and the cost ranges from $25 - $30.

If you’re the appointed turkey cook this Thanksgiving, and you’re stressing to the max because you’ve never done it before, take comfort in knowing this: roasting the turkey is the easiest part of the entire traditional feast. Peruse your commissary aisles for the turkey tailored to your specific needs – we’ve got ‘em big and small and everything in be-tween. Arm yourself with these basic guidelines and tips, and you’re “good to go.”

How much do you need? Plan on 1/2 to 3/4 pound per person for a regular bone-in turkey and about 1/3 pound per person for a boneless breast or turkey roast. Allow a bit more if you want plenty of leftovers.

How long does it take to thaw? Short answer – a long time! Place the frozen turkey on a tray in the refrigerator and allow five hours per pound to complete the thawing process. Depending on size, this can take from two to five days. To speed things up a bit, remove the giblet packet and neck from inside the turkey and thaw them separately. Be sure to check both the body cavity and the neck cavity for these – sometimes they are stored in two packets.

If time is short, use the Cold Water Method for thawing, but do so carefully – spoilage bacteria can multiply rapidly at temperatures above 40 degrees. With the turkey in its original wrapper, place in a large container and cover com-pletely with cold water. Change the water every 30 minutes and allow an hour per pound total thawing time.

How to roast? Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Remove giblet packets from inside the turkey, then rinse inside and out with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Generously rub the body and neck cavities with salt and insert a medium onion, cut into quarters, and two or three celery sticks, with leaves. Sprinkle the skin with salt, then brush all over with melted butter or oil. Place the turkey, breast-side-up, in a shallow roasting pan and roast on the lowest oven rack until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh registers 175 to 180 degrees, and in the breast, 165 degrees. Refer to your turkey’s original wrapper for approximate to-tal roasting times, which can range from 2 3/4 to 3 hours for a small turkey to 4 1/2 to 5 hours for a large one.

Remove the turkey from the oven, tent loosely with alu-minum foil and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes before carv-ing.

To stuff or not to stuff? If your favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is the stuffing, then by all means get a reliable recipe and give it a try. Just be aware that food safety experts consider it a breeding ground for pathogens that can make you sick if not done properly.

Visit www.commissaries.com/kays_kitchen/healthy_cooking/healthy_cooking.cfm and look for “Turkey Tips” to get specific information on how much turkey to buy, how to thaw the turkey safely and how long to cook it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – About 110 advanced individual training Soldiers from the Ordnance School at Fort Lee spent Veterans Day at the National World War II Memorial here, paying tribute to those who served in past wars.

The excursion to the nation’s capital was one of many the Ordnance School has organized over the past two years to help Soldiers “comprehend the breadth of their military service,” according to Staff Sgt. David Kress, one of the tour organizers from the 59th Ordnance

Brigade Chaplain’s Office.During this latest visit, the Soldiers

– many of them teenagers – acted as escorts for the WWII veterans who par-ticipated in the ceremony that honored their service. Mother Nature provided a beautiful, brisk day, but the cooler temperatures did not hinder the mas-sive crowd of supporters who turned out to show their appreciation. The ceremony’s keynote speaker was re-tired Army Lt. Gen. Julius W. Becton Jr. This year’s program offered special recognition to African Americans who served during World War II, including the Tuskegee Airmen and Montford

Point Marines. Members of the 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, 92nd Infantry Division, The Prometheans, Red Ball Express and Central Illinois Honor Flight were also recognized.

Retired Col. Porcher L. Taylor Jr., a Petersburg resident and veteran of World War II and the Korean and Vietnam wars, attended the event. He said the Fort Lee Soldiers who partici-pated in the ceremony embodied many of the attributes of those who sacrificed so much.

Digital Sign Keeps Fort Lee in the KnowThe brightly lit digital sign near the Sisisky Blvd. Gate is

the newest tool the Fort Lee Public Affairs Office is using to keep the community informed.

“The sign was installed several months ago, but a glitch in the software kept officials from using it to share important information,” said Stephen Baker, media relations manager for U.S. Army Garrison, Fort Lee.

“We finally figured it out, and we are excited to bring information to the community through this convenient me-dium,” he said.

The sign is the first of several that will be installed at the gates to deliver information to the Fort Lee community at large and visitors. The Sisisky Blvd. Gate sign has been dis-playing current information since Nov. 10 and will be used to announce events or activities that impact the largest seg-ments of the post population.

Military organizations and tenants of Fort Lee and rec-ognized community groups who have permission from the Garrison Commander to conduct activities on the installation may submit requests for posting messages about specific ac-tivities and programs.

Only programs, events and activities of interest to the gen-eral population of Fort Lee will be posted on the digital sign. Messages should relate to wide segments of the community, to include military personnel, their family members and the civilian workforce.

The PAO reserves the right to use the digital sign exclu-sively for emergency notification and communication, such as snow emergencies or closures, as events or situations re-quire. All military organizations and agencies must comply with the Department of Defense non-discrimination policy. General announcements of special events such as ribbon-cuttings, open houses, field days and change of command/responsibility ceremonies are appropriate for the digital sign. Special announcements, such as VIP welcome messages, safety slogans and fundraising activities, will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure they are appropriate, com-mand approved and are not excessive to the point that it de-tracts from the digital sign’s information value.

The digital sign request form can be downloaded from the Fort Lee homepage (click on the forms name under impor-tant links).

For a copy of the complete rules regarding the digital sign, visit www.lee.army.mil, click on Services then Forms and Publications.

KENNER’S KONNECTION

by Andrew TaylorKenner Army Health Clinic

In 1992, President George Bush issued a proclamation designat-ing the first week of November as “National Medical Staff Services Awareness Week” to acknowledge and thank medical services profes-sionals for playing “an important role in our nation’s health care sys-tem.”

Medical staff Services, as it’s know in the private sector, ensures that health care professionals are qualified to do their jobs. In the mil-itary world, this department is called “credentials.”

Our health care system has come a long way from the days when any-one could hang up a shingle and pro-vide medical care.

With these changes has brought the need to closely monitor the pro-fessionals rendering patient care and that is where our office comes into play.

The Credentials Office works dili-gently behind the scenes to check all aspects of a practitioner’s education, training and competence, and see to it that all competent practitioners are granted privileges. Often, “creden-tials” and “privileges” are misunder-stood.

The “credentials” one holds are the qualifications such as education, ex-perience and training. The “privileg-es” are the liberties that are granted to a practitioner by a health care orga-nization to practice and see patients.

Our office monitors the ongoing competence of the physicians and other practitioners who provide pa-

tient care in our hospitals and other health care settings.

Along with our daily duties in making sure that practitioners stay current with all required guidelines, regulations and accreditation stan-dards, we also serve as an advisor to hospital management on a wide range of topics from adverse actions to risk management.

The credentials office may operate quietly behind the scenes, but it plays a key role in ensuring that the practi-tioners who render care are qualified and competent.

Rest assured that the next time you see your practioner, MSPs have done evertything they can to make sure you are receiving the best care possible. It makes us sleep better at night and hopefully it will for you too.

Hot roasted turkey, glazed ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, buttered rolls, cin-namon-laced applesauce, baked macaroni and cheese, cran-berry sauce and hefty helpings of gravy and pie will adorn the Thanksgiving table just one week from today.

The very mention of these delectable dishes leaves one salivating and eliminates any doubt as to why the average American household looks forward to this annual guilt-free day of excess. But Thanksgiving is also about community. Its earliest origins involved Native Americans sharing the harvest and families coming together to build relationships.

Consider the Mayflower settlers … by the fall of 1621 they had lost almost half of their original 102 people due to illness and insufficient nutrition. Native Americans came to their rescue, showing them how to properly cultivate the land and grow crops. Those actions were key to the settler’s survival and that same year they celebrated their first suc-cessful harvest.

What can we learn from that example?While most of us will have a comfortable and filling

Thanksgiving, many are facing the fact that they cannot afford a meal, let alone a Thanksgiving feast. For them, cranberry sauce and buttered rolls are a luxury. Mashed

potatoes and green bean casserole aren’t a possibility and Turkey is a distant memory.

If there is one time of the year to ponder the troubles of others, Thanksgiving is it. As the average household sits down to a feast, there are too many people with nothing to serve. Food pantries are under-stocked more than ever before and the former middle-class has become a new daily patron.

Area food pantries are always looking for staple items: canned tuna or chicken, soups and stews, rice, pasta, canned vegetables, cereal, oatmeal, canned fruits, tomato sauce, peanut butter, fruit juice and dehydrated milk. This year, while making the family Thanksgiving food purchase, consider buying these items too and taking them to the local food pantry.

There is a food bank in nearly every locality:Central Virginia Foodbank (804) 521-25001415 Rhoadmiller StRichmond, VA 23220Colonial Heights Food Bank (804) 520-7117500 Southpark Blvd

are conducting food drives as well. A good example is the Walk for Hunger on Saturday in downtown Petersburg. Registration starts at 9 a.m. near the corner of South Sycamore and Old Streets. With a simple act of partici-pation, you could help a struggling family put meals on the table this holiday season and give homeless individu-als shelter and food. That’s the recipe that warms the heart while we enjoy filling our tummies.

Off Duty In the Community is a weekly feature of the Traveller offering descriptions of locales, events and vol-unteer opportunities of interest to Fort Lee Soldiers and civilians.

FOCUS ON SUSTAINMENT

Farm Consolidates Fuel as Drawdown Continues by Spc. Anthony Zane362nd Mobile Public Affairs Detachment

CONTINGENCY OPERATING BASE ADDER, Iraq – As Operation New Dawn continues the draw-down of U.S. Forces in Iraq, Contingency Operating Base Adder has become the main fuel hub in the pro-cess of exporting military assets out of the country.

The 305th Quartermaster Company, 101st Sustainment Brigade from Fort Campbell, Ky., man-ages the bulk fuel farm that services all military opera-tions in southern Iraq.

“Getting all the equipment that we’ve built up since 2003 out of this country – the amount is unimaginable and it has to be transported from as far north as Mosul all the way down to Kuwait takes a lot of transportation assets,” said Capt. Ervin J. Williams, COB Adder bulk fuel farm commander who hails from Blountstown, Fla. “And of course, you can’t move it without fuel. So our job is to make sure that fuel is brought in, maintained, and then uploaded and shipped out in an orderly fash-ion.”

The fuel deposited at the fuel farm is tested and in-spected before being stored in large fuel bags surround-ed by berms. “We test the temperature of the fuel and

the quality of the fuel,” said 1st Lt. Phat Sanh, COB Adder bulk fuel farm officer in charge, 305h QM Co., 101st SB,West Valley City, Utah. “We do a visual in-spection to see if it has a lot of water or dirt in it. We do that so we know we are getting clean fuel to our customers.”

The vehicles fueling up at the bulk fuel farm are also subject to inspection to ensure they are capable of hold-ing fuel.

“We check for leaks and all the safety equipment, like fire extinguishers, and make sure the lights are all working,” said Sanh. “If a vehicle has a leak, it’s an environmental concern.”

“Once we inspect all of that and everything is fine, the trucks come in and get the fuel they need and then we seal them,” said Sanh. “The vehicles are sealed as a safety precaution to ensure that there is no tampering with the fuel.”

Although the overall volume of fuel moving through the fuel farm has decreased considerably with the draw-down, the COB Adder bulk fuel farm is still a 24-hour operation.

Camp Cedar, which was the main hub that provided the bulk fuel to all U.S. military bases in Iraq, recently closed.

“To close Cedar, we had to move the fuel north to Adder and set up this fuel farm here,” said Williams. “Of course, the north is closing so this is where the business is. We are resizing to support the southern re-gion.

“And you can tell by the fuel consumption and how much we’re shipping out of here, how close we are to the drawdown of forces here in Iraq,” said Williams.

Part of the process to consolidate the fuel is to disas-semble the fuel bladders and sanitize the area.

“Now, we are in the process of cleaning up and get-ting rid of a lot of the fuel bags,” said Sanh. “The opera-tion here has been very smooth.”

After the fuel bags are removed, the soil is tested to ensure there is no contamination, and the berms are filled in.

“The mission here at the bulk fuel farm is important because this last push is all about the support of the transition from a combat operation to the logistics ele-ment of the drawdown in Iraq,” said Williams.

“This is the first time we’ve done something like this,” the captain concluded. “We have to do the sen-sible thing here, think through this process, leave here in a orderly fashion and leave it intact like the way it was before we were here.”

Gena Mckeithan, a retired military member, happily displays the $25 gift voucher she received at the Fort Lee Commissary when she was “caught” using reusable bags recently. Fort Lee family member Trisha Anderson received an identical prize. The gift voucher program is a cooperative effort be-tween the Installation Environmental Management Office and the various vendors of the Commissary. It’s proven that the widespread use of reusable bags in lieu of single-use bags would be socially, ecologically and economically ben-eficial. The EMO is facilitating the increased use of reusable bags to conserve energy and natural resources, diminish plastic bag litter, and promote active participation in prac-tices that help the environment. Keep the recycle bag cam-paign logo – A Greener Future, It’s in the Bag! – in mind the next time you’re at the commissary and you might be “caught” and presented a special prize.

Marines Run 66.2 Miles Toby Tina Valentine-VilcaProduction Assistant

Fort Lee Marines ran a 64.2-mile relay in honor of leg-endary Lt. Gen. Lewis Burwell “Chesty” Puller Nov. 10.

The first Puller run was Nov. 11, 1988 with fewer than 100 Marines. More than 220 participated in the latest run that ended in the town of Saluda where Puller is buried.

Puller was born on June 26, 1898, in West Point, 15 miles from Saluda. After joining the Virginia Military Institute in 1917, he withdrew after a year and enlisted in the Marine Corps. When his career concluded, Puller had seen more combat than any Marine at the time, and was awarded five Navy Crosses for his heroism during combat tours. Puller, known for fighting guerrillas in Haiti and Nicaragua, also participated in battles during World War II and the Korean war.

“I’m excited to have this opportunity to get as close to history as possible,” said 1st Sgt. James Brown, the Marine Corps Detachment lead NCO.

Puller is a figure whose accomplishments are taught to Marines during recruit training. Students attending the food service specialty course talked about their participation in the run and what it meant to them.

“Being here has embodied everything the Marine Corps has instilled in us. It is a great feeling to be here today, to honor his legacy,” said Pvt. Celina Figueroa, a food service student.

After completion of the formation run, Marines placed a wreath on the grave site and ceremoniously toasted Puller. A number of former Marines were on hand for the ceremony.

“While I was fishing in June 1968 I accidently bumped my boat into General Puller’s. Afterward’s he gave me a good a good talking too,” said Billy Ancarrow from Whitestone.

Puller is buried at Saluda’s Christ Church cemetery. He attended church services regularly and is known to fellow church members as a man who loved the Marine Corps.

“He was an active member of the church,” said Barbara Cockwell, a resident of Saluda since 1964. “The Puller fam-ily would sit in the same 5th row, 5th seat every Sunday for as long as I can remember”.

Lt. Col. Matthew Seay, Marine Corps Detachment com-mander has led Marines in this tribute twice.

“It’s a way to honor and teach. It’s never about one per-son, there is a great group of Marines here, excellent staff NCOs. Whatever environment you put Marines in, they are going to do their best to succeed.”

ALENTINE-VILCA


by Kimberly K. FritzFamily/Community Life Reporter

It’s been a few months since Col. Joseph S. Pina took command of Fort Lee’s Kenner Army Health Clinic and he hit the ground running, making changes to better the services provided to the Fort Lee community and veter-ans who receive health care at the facility.

Pina’s hands-on and approachable style are evident as he walks the halls of the clinic greeting patients, asking how their visits went and if they’ve been waiting long at the pharmacy.

The pulmonary intensivist said he hesitated to share his command philosophy believing all commanders have one and they are likely similarly uninteresting to patients and customers then he realized that Kenner is a different organization, and he hopes to prove it to the community.

“In short,” the doctor said, “my philosophy is con-necting with the community and the people we serve.”

Pina was previously assigned to Tripler Army Medical Center, Honolulu, where he worked as the chief of pul-monary medicine before becoming the chief of medi-cine.

“I really spent most of my time working on teams – mostly for patients admitted to the hospital,” he said. “The great thing about inpatient care was that we lived and died by our teams. We had to have good teams.”

Citing health care studies about patient errors and medical malpractice suits in America, Pina said the mili-tary has worked hard at defining how to deliver medi-cine and what works best.

“Teamwork is critical in many fields, in aviation, in sustainment, in logistics and in medicine,” he said. “When we work together as a team, and we buy-in as a team where everyone has their say, things work better and that works better for our pa-tients.”

Pina believes patients are the most valuable part of the equation and they must be involved with their care.

“We need them on the team,” he said. “In the past, we’ve just given them what we thought they needed and sent them on their way. Now we know they have a lot of knowledge and they know their bodies better than anyone.”

“Getting the patients involved in their care, we can really achieve anything,” Pina continued. “We’ve been promoting our strategic communications trying to get people to give us feedback.”

The commander said it was key for the clinic to re-ceive input from the community about things that go well or poorly.

“When I first arrived here, our Interactive Customer Evaluation program showed we were getting less than five hits a month when we have hundreds of encounters

Kenner’s Commander Looks to Connect

Col. Joseph S. Pina, Kenner Army Health Clinic commander, talks with family mem-ber Carmen Smith about the clinic’s quick re-

sponse code. Smith was at Wilkerson Pediatric Clinic recently with her 22-month-old daugh-ter Kevina.

in that time period,” Pina said. “We want everyone to use ICE as a tool – for moms who bring their chil-dren to the pediatric clinic – for patients filling prescriptions at the pharmacy or get-ting blood work done at the laboratory.

“Feedback gives us an opportunity to recognize when someone does something well or to hold some-one accountable for their actions,” he continued. “Accountability is the other side of being on a team. The whole team has to be accountable and the members have to be accountable and ICE is one way to do it.”

Pina talked about the Army Provider Level Satisfaction Survey, which asks for patient feedback. Patients receive a letter and survey about 7-10 days after an appointment to give feedback about their experiences.

Pina said it is vitally important for patients to com-plete the survey and mail it.

Kenner competes against other organizations in the Northern Region Medical Command using the APLSS

process. Positive comments give the clinic more money to reinvest into the facility and into the community.

Pina wants to hear from the community – good, bad or indifferent.

Laughing, he tells about one clinic visitor who pointed out that the rest rooms did not have seat covers.

“It was feedback and it allowed us to make a change,” Pina said.

Thinking for a moment, Pina said his goals include making Kenner the best managed ambulatory military treatment facility in the Department of Defense and to be the preferred primary care provider for the greater Fort Lee community.

“The bottom line is connecting,” he said. To connect to Kenner, visit http://kenner.narmc.

strong, loyal and proud to be Americans and the greatest military on earth,” he said.

Many of the Soldiers who volunteered to serve as es-corts said they felt privileged to be among a group of elite individuals who served in previous wars.

“It made me understand the reality of military ser-vice,” said Pvt. Charles F. Murphy. “I had the opportu-nity to escort a veteran who shared with me his amazing experience while serving dur-ing WWII. This Soldier was on his second jump and his unit was at the Rheine River. It was only a 550-foot drop. The Germans fired as soon as they exited the plane. He made it to the ground, but his chute was full of holes. He was really shaken up and yet was able to get up and fight. Hearing his experience made me more aware of my life and things that I take for granted.”

Kress said the ceremony itself underscored the impor-tance of honoring the nation’s WWII veterans.

“These proud Americans are dwindling away,” he said. “They are living history and I want to hear their stories first hand. I could not think of a better way to spend Veterans Day.”

For the trip’s primary orga-nizer, Chaplain (Capt.) Chris Wallace, 16th Ord. Bn. chap-lain, it was another opportu-nity to pay homage to those who sacrificed much for the country and another reason to feel good about his service.

“My grandfather served as a cook with the rank of cor-poral in the Army,” Wallace said. “By hearing (the veter-ans’) stories, it encourages me to endure and persevere because they did. New day, same Soldier … we both car-ry and instill the same Army values.”

Installation Airmen and Sailors are available for “adoption” this holiday sea-son. The Adopt an Airman or Sailor pro-gram invites local families to take in two or more Airmen or Sailors on Thanksgiving Day from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. The Airmen or Sailors will spend the day with their ad-opted family to celebrate the holiday and enjoy Thanksgiving dinner.

Master Sgt. Timothy Okkerse, the Air Force first sergeant and program man-ager, started the program. “We wanted to do something for our Airmen and Sailors here on Fort Lee. Many of them have been away from their families for the first time as they attend basic training and technical school. We feel it is important that they see that when we are not deployed or serving overseas we take the time to value family and friends.”

The program is looking for 75-100 families within one hour of Fort Lee. Each participating family will have two or more Airmen or Sailors come to their home. The family is responsible for pick-

ing up the Airmen or Sailors up at their dormitory between 10:30-11:00 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day and bringing them back between 6-6:30 p.m. that evening. The Airmen and Sailors will not be al-lowed to drink alcohol, drive a vehicle, or be taken farther than one hour from Fort Lee. Airmen and Sailors will wear mili-tary uniforms during the day.

Families who wish to participate in the program or have further questions should contact Okkerse or 2nd Lt. Blandon Prowse by email at [email protected] or [email protected]. Email invites should include the number of Airmen or Sailors a fam-ily would like to accommodate. Provide the name, address and phone number of the residence the Airmen or Sailors will be spending the day. The requesting fam-ily will receive a confirmation email along with directions to the dormitory the next duty day.

Reports of runners using A Avenue and other primary travel routes on post – particularly dur-ing busy morning and evening rush hour traffic – have become a cause of concern for installation leaders.

The situation becomes more dangerous as daylight hours de-crease and runners forget to wear reflective belts or brightly colored clothing to increase their chances of being seen by motorists.

With that in mind, it’s a good time to review the established post running routes and safety re-quirements that apply to all jog-gers and walkers on the installa-tion.

Safety requirements for jog-gers include reflective gear dur-ing the hours of 4 p.m. to 8 a.m., every day.

Aside from the PT running route, there are several tracks across post available for use. The Fort Lee Cardinal Golf Course cart path that runs alongside A Avenue is also available for PT between the hours of 5:30-7:30 a.m.

Referring to the PT Running Route Map (right), the streets marked in blue and green are des-ignated roadways for conducting PT in formation.

Vehicular traffic will not use the green roadways from 5-7:30 a.m., Monday through Friday (except emergency vehicles).

At all other times, the green roadway reverts to a blue road-way. Joint use by vehicles and military formations is authorized on blue roadways only.

Vehicles may cross the green route when safe to do so.

All physical training forma-tions will clear roadways no later than 7:30 a.m. on duty days.

Vehicle operators should seek alternate routes around military formations. Vehicle operators will stop for runners at intersec-tions throughout the installation.

Furthermore, vehicle operators

are required to stop when a troop formation is approaching the in-tersection and is within 50 feet of said intersection. At all other times, vehicle operators may proceed through the intersection without stopping but will proceed with due caution in a safe and re-sponsible manner.

Vehicle operators approaching the front of a marching or running military formation will reduce speed to 10 mph or slower, pull to the right side of the road, turn off

the headlights, turn on the park-ing lights, and if appropriate, the emergency hazard flasher, and pass the formation with extreme caution obeying all hand and ver-bal commands of the formation road guards.

When approaching the rear of a marching/running formation, vehicle operators will not drive within 20 yards of the last rank in the formation.

Vehicle operators will use low-beam headlights and may use the

emergency hazard flasher. Under no circumstances will vehicle op-erators pass the formation from the rear, except when specifically directed by the formation road guard. When so directed, pass the formation at no more than 10 mph.

The Fort Lee Military Police and Department of the Army Civilian Police will issue a U.S. District Court Violation Notice, DD Form 1805, if an unauthor-ized vehicle is observed oper-

ating on the green roadway in violation of the policy. Pursuant Issuance of a DD Form 1805 by the Fort Lee Police Department for all military and civilian viola-tions of this policy may result in administrative measures taken by the garrison commander.

For more information on the Fort Lee Physical Training Policy, refer to the Fort Lee Web site: www.lee.army.mil.
