CHAPLAIN’S CORNER | REAWAKENING
YOUR FAITH
Spring a time for renewal, spiritual growth Chaplain (Maj.) David R. Kirk Memorial Chapel Staff
Opportunities to refresh and renew ourselves are all around us. There are spas, gyms, parks and other places and events where an individual can gain a renewed perspective and insights on all sorts of things. Soul-searching can be accomplished in groups or undertaken individually. It may happen on a one-time basis or over a period of time. Spring is just around the corner. This is traditionally a time when trees start showing their new leaf buds, grass starts to green up and grow, and there is more daylight and warmer weather. This is also the time of year when members of many Christian faiths engage them-
selves in spiritual resiliency and renewal efforts. They are looking for religious perspectives and insights on faith in a spiritual way. The season is referred to as Lent. The word Lent can trace its roots to Latin (Quadragesima), “forty days;” the period of this liturgical season. The Teutonic and vernacular English word,

Lent, was used starting in the late Middle Ages and is loosely translated as spring season or new growth. Many will start this renewal journey on Feb. 18 (the date designated this year as the start of the season). That date is significant because it is referred to as Ash Wednesday. It is a day when many show a

public commitment to renewal by more conscientious prayer, fasting, penance and almsgiving. There is a mark or sign that distinguishes many who choose. Others see this sign and remark “you have some dirt on your forehead or your forehead looks black and blue, what did you run into”? The recipient of the remark should smile and politely answer, “neither; I have had ashes placed on my forehead as a sign of my commitment to a deeper personal spiritual renewal and resiliency.” The renewal journey of Lent still encompasses 40 days to focus upon which areas in one’s life one would like to gain more insights, become renewed and grow in their personal spiritual resiliency. Some go about this alone as it is more comfortable for them to do so. Others ask another to be a partner or ‘Battle Buddy’ to encourage and help one keep focused on their goal(s), not unlike a workout buddy or

Not all buy into the concept of Lent and its particular journey and ways of becoming refreshed and renewed, and that is OK. What’s important is to choose what is best for you and your particular circumstances at this time in your life. May your time of renewal be a positive and uplifting experience for you. A number of opportunities to partake in services on Ash Wednesday will be available for those who choose to do so. Catholic Masses will be held at Memorial Chapel at 7 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. Baptized individuals of other Christian denominations that observe the Ash Wednesday tradition are welcome to come and receive ashes during these Masses.

History and Culture.� Hailing from South Hill, Jones was the Reserve Officer Training Corps’ Distinguished Military Graduate at Virginia State University when he earned his commission in 1979. His career accolades as a military officer include participation in the Army’s Training with Industry Program where he worked with the Sun Marketing and Refining Company in Philadelphia. He later served as the battalion commander for the Defense Energy Support Center’s Middle East Energy Region, Bahrain, in support of Operation Southern Watch and was selected to be an advisor to the U.S, Ambassador for Yemen during the USS Cole incident in October 2000. Prior to leaving the service in 2002, Jones was the deputy commander for the highly deployed 49th QM Group, a Fort
Lee-based unit that was deactivated two years ago. As an Army Civilian, he served as the director of the Petroleum and Water Department here until 2012 when he was selected for his current position. The Fort Lee AABHM observance will be hosted by the Army Logistics University in partnership with the installation’s Equal Opportunity Office. Everyone in the community is welcome to attend the event, and it’s open to the public. Black History Month, or National African-American History Month, is an annual celebration of past and present achievements by Black Americans. The event grew out of “Negro History Week,� the brainchild of noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent persons of color. Since 1976, every U.S. president has officially
designated the month of February as Black History Month. Other countries around the world including Canada and the United Kingdom organize similar observances. In recognitions of the 2015 commemoration, President Barack Obama made the following proclamation: “As we mark National AfricanAmerican History Month, we celebrate giants of the civil rights movement and countless other men and women whose names are etched in the hearts of their loved ones and the cornerstones of the country they helped to change. We pause to reflect on our progress and our history – not only to remember, but also to acknowledge our unfinished work. We reject the false notion that our challenges lie only in the past, and we recommit to advancing what has been left undone.� To read the full proclamation, visit www.lee.army.mil and click on the “Command Spotlight� link. – –Staff Reports

Homebuyers Workshop
Managing Editor
The feasibility of creating bike paths along A Avenue and extending child development center hours for shift workers were among the items discussed at a recent steering committee meeting here in the Army Community Service conference room. Col. Paul K. Brooks, Fort Lee garrison commander, chaired the session that is part of the Army Family Action Plan process. Each year, community members are invited to submit issues and recommended courses of action for the annual Fort Lee AFAP forum, usually scheduled in October. That input is first analyzed by volunteer forum “delegates� – military and civilian employees, family members and retirees – who, in turn, present their findings to post leaders. Additional analysis at the installation management level culminates with the steering committee meeting where department directors present findings and/or final recommendations to the command. Five items were discussed at the meeting. In response to the A Avenue bike lane recommendation, a representative from the Directorate of Public Works noted that a $109 million street improvement project is planned for FY2020 (pending approval of funding). In addition to new street lights, repaving, parking lot work and new drainage systems, it includes additional bike paths along

It is open to active duty and spouses, reservists, national guardsmen, retired military, veterans, DOD Civilians and their spouses. For registration and details, call (804) 765-2016 or 765-3862.

key roadways. “DPW will review the entire scope of work to determine if it is feasible to separate the (implementation of) bike paths as a separate independent project,� the meeting minutes reported. “Additional review of existing road lanes will be done to see if some of (those) are already wide enough to accommodate bike lanes.� The committee voted to keep the action open. Issue No. 1715 – Extended Daycare Hours for Special Duty Personnel – also will remain active. It proposes night and weekend CDC services for military parents who have non-standard working hours. According to committee members, the issue is currently being studied to determine the level of need in the community, and any future implementation would hinge upon approval of funding by IMCOM. In the interim, parents are
asked to consider the authorized in-home family child care providers in the community who can work outside of regular CDC hours. Fitness opportunities at Fort Lee also garnered a lot of discussion during the meeting. In response to a community member’s proposal for “totally free� exercise classes here, committee members noted that ample no-cost opportunities are already abundant at the fitness centers and a Family and MWR “Fitness on Request� program will be implemented in the near future. “(FMWR) sports/recreation offers 24 free classes a month at Clark Fitness Center and two classes a week at MacLaughlin (for active duty military) and spouses of deployed Soldiers,� the meeting minutes reported. “In the next few months, (FMWR) will SEE AFAP, PAGE 6

Also, drivers are reminded the Trusted Traveler Program has been suspended for the first two weeks of February and during two consecutive weeks of each month until at least April. There will be 100-percent ID checks conducted for all passengers in vehicles at all access gates.

AFAP | Committee discusses leave
transfer program for Soldiers Continued from page 4 introduce ‘Fitness on Request,’ an innovative virtual exercise system that will allow patrons to participate in free aerobic classes 24-7.” Functional Fitness and Crossfit training opportunities are available as well, the committee members said in connection to another community suggestion. “(A training area) is now located in the lower level of the Post Field House, building 6008, A Avenue,” the minutes read. “It is available during Crossfit class times – Monday-Friday, 4:30-6:30 p.m. Both MacLaughlin and Clark fitness cen-
ters also have Functional Fitness equipment located throughout the facilities. MacLaughlin recently (converted) a racquetball court into a Functional Fitness area.” The committee then recommended more advertising through the Traveller and post website to ensure all community members are aware of the fitness class opportunities here, and they voted both issues complete. Rounding out the list of discussed issues was a proposal to create a leave transfer program for Soldiers. It would allow troops to donate their accumulated vacation hours to others who are faced
with a medical or family emergency, rather than putting them in a “negative leave” situation. It would be similar to the current program for Army Civilians. The committee voted to elevate the issue to Army level since it is far beyond the scope of their command authority. Community members are welcome to submit ideas to AFAP any time during the year, noted Nancy Burns, the program’s coordinator at Fort Lee.

4XDUWHUPDVWHU FRPPXQLW\ ORVHV GLVWLQJXLVKHG FLYLOLDQ The Army quartermaster community lost one of its long-treasured members recently. Jane Ebbs, who launched a remarkable 33year civil service career in the office of the QM General, passed away on Christmas Eve. She was 102 years old. Ebbs was hired by the Army in 1942. She had just left her job as a professor with the University of Chicago because she felt a sense of patriotism and wanted to do something for her country. The QM Corps recognized her knowledge and leadership skills and asked her to serve as the nutrition advisor to the chief of the Subsistence Division. Ebbs’ contributions to the corps and the Army itself were phenomenal. Early in her career, she was appointed by the QM General to be the dietary consultant to Gen. Lucius Clay, military governor of the U.S. Occupied Zone of

Germany. She played a key role in Allied efforts to feed liberated Europe, occupied Germany and Austria during and immediately after World War II. “Her civil affairs, relief and rehabilitation activities as a QM employee and special advisor probably saved millions of lives in war-torn Europe,” said Dr. Steve Anders, former QM historian. “And that was just the warm-up in her distinguished career.” In 1946, she served as the U.S. representative to the Allied Quadripartite (America, United Kingdom,
Soviet Republic, France) Conference in Berlin. In 1948, she was a member of the Economic and Industrial Food Mission to Japan. She also was part of the Agricultural and Economic Mission to the Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa). Later, she was loaned to the State Department to develop a ration plan for the Chinese Nationalist Army. In this capacity she, on several occasions, briefed Gen. Douglas McArthur, commander of the Allied Forces in the region. In the 1950s, Ebbs worked closely with the U.S. Forces in Korea to develop special feeding and nutrition plans for troops on the ground and prisoners of war. Later, she restructured those plans for the Republic of Korea Army. She continued her work in the field of nutrition in a number of agencies within the Department of Defense. SEE CIVILIAN, PAGE 18

With a theme of “Army Emergency Relief-Making a Difference,� the annual Army-wide AER campaign is March 1 - May 15, with the Fort Lee kick-off event scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Lee Theater. The theme serves as a reminder that Soldier and family members can place their trust and confidence in AER to provide compassion and care with much-needed financial relief in times of an unexpected crisis. The Baylor family is proof of that. Since May of 2013 they have had four different crisis situations, including two deaths in the family within four months that resulted in unexpected expenses in excess of $5,000. “We were in dire straits,� said Veronica Baylor. “We were at wits end with no other resources. Fortunately, God blessed us with AER.� The purpose of the campaign is to bring awareness of the Army Emergency Relief program and the ser-
vices provided. Since 1942, AER, a private, non-profit organization, has been helping the Army “take care of its own� by providing financial assistance to Soldiers and their families. AER financial assistance is provided as an interestfree loan, a grant, or a combination of the two, based on need. Assistance can include emergency travel, privately owned vehicle repair, rent, utilities, and medical and dental expenses. Soldiers can receive up to $4,000 for basic furniture and replacement vehicle needs, but on the rest of the eligible needs, there is no limit on how much money they can be given. Last year, more than 700 Soldiers locally were assisted by AER in the amount of $929,000. People who would like to make a donation to AER can do so through the website at www.aerhq.org or by contacting their unit key person. Soldiers in need of AER assistance should contact their chain of command or the installation AER officer at (804) 734-7954.

The TAC is staffed by Soldiers and volunteers trained in the preparation of federal and state returns. That training includes the ins and outs of the new laws concerning health care coverage and the elusive deductions that do-ityourselfers often overlook. To avoid some of the common frustrations of tax preparation, here are a few things to keep in mind. The TAC hours of operation are Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. Scheduled appointments start at 8 a.m. Walk-in service starts at 8:30 a.m. No appointments or walk-ins will be scheduled after 4 p.m.
OIC, Tax Assistance Center
The free services of the Fort Lee Tax Assistance Center – building 6052, Mekong Road, in the vicinity of the Post Field House – are now available. All Fort Lee community members with a military ID, to include retirees, can use the facility. Quick and convenient walk-in appointments are available for those eligible to file with a simple 1040EZ form this year. Taxpayers with more complex returns may call (804) 734-5732 to schedule an appointment.
The Tax Assistance Center is available to any person who otherwise qualifies for legal assistance services at the Office of the Staff Judge Advocate. This includes all active-duty service members and their dependents, and all retirees and their dependents. Couples filing joint returns should come to the tax center together. If a spouse is unavailable, the one preparing the return will need to bring a Power of Attorney that specifically covers tax filing, or an IRS Power of Attorney Form 2848 (available at www.IRS. gov). Bring the following items to
your tax appointment: • Military identification cards • Social Security cards for you, your spouse and dependents or a Social Security number verification letter issued by the Social Security Administration • Birth dates for you, your spouse and dependents on the tax return • Wage and earning statements (Form W-2, W-2G, 1099-R,1099-Misc) from all employers • Interest and dividend statements from banks (Forms 1099) • A copy of last year’s federal and state returns, if available • Proof of bank account routing and account numbers for direct deposit such as a voided check • Power of Attorney for unavailable spouse, if applicable • Total amount paid to a day-
care provider over the past year and the daycare provider’s tax ID number • Forms 1095-A, B or C, Affordable Health Care Statements • Health Care Coverage Exemption Certificate Number • Any other documents related to itemized deductions such as college tuition payments, individual retirement account contributions, student loan payments, charity contributions, alimony payments, and stock or mutual fund sales. To schedule an appointment for tax preparation assistance, call the center at (804) 734-5732. Again, walk-in service is only available to taxpayers filing with form 1040EZ, and it is limited to Monday-Friday during normal business hours.

Dedication is the thing that pushes them out of bed early on a weekend morning and makes it OK to miss a favorite evening television show because they want to get in a few more minutes of practice. Members of the Poseidon Swim Team have buckets of the stuff. These military and civilian kids spend hours in the pool at the Collegiate School Aquatics Center in Midlothian. Some put in as many as 10 practice sessions a week. Their reward is time … those precious seconds whittled off a 200-meter backstroke heat or a 400-meter freestyle swim that will make them contenders at district and regional meets. It doesn’t take long to be impressed by these athletes, and their “wow factor” jumped even higher on the morning of Jan. 31 when they swam in support of the Wounded Warrior Project. The event was called the Mile Trial. Each swim team member accumulated sponsors who agreed to make a donation for each lap completed by that individual. By the time the event was over, about $10,000 had been raised for the project. Watching the swim team and its supporters engage in this fundraiser was nothing short of awesome. Music was playing, volunteers were preparing snacks provided by a Colonial Heights restaurant, parents were cheering poolside, and coaches were explaining to the swimmers the special way they would swim their mile that morning. Head coach Ted Sallade had come up with some unique challenges to “put the
team in touch” with the lives of Soldiers on the front lines. One particular time, and wounded warriors. Swimming a lap I remember being in the mountains of without using one or both of their arms or Afghanistan.

riors understand their sacrifice means a lot to the nation. It helps in recovery as they try to find new jobs, somewhere to live, a special wheel chair, or that place of peace after experiencing the horrors of war. So, on that Saturday, about 120 Poseidon swimmers gave more than they probably even realized. Or did they? While describing their experiences from the event, my daughters – Sierra, 10, and Hannah, 8 – said they learned a great deal. It showed them how to ask for support from friends, neighbors and business owners. They both said it helped them gain confidence, and grow personally because they had done something for Wounded Warriors. These kids are accustomed to seeing their Army Chaplain dad go out every day, weekends and late nights included, to do things for Soldiers who need spiritual support. But, they said it really meant something to do this event “all on their own,” including raising $600 for wounded warriors. To my children and all the Poseidon swimmers, coaches and volunteer parents who participated in the Mile Trial, thank you for carrying our wounded warriors. Thank you for reaching out to your friends, neighbors and local businesses to get sponsors. Our wounded warriors may never know how you supported them that day, but the significance of your actions and the dedication you show as athletes has not been overlooked.

The Winner for Life program now has a companion. The do-it-yourself-withthe-support-of-others fitness program that uses a point system for exercise participation has been joined by the similar Walk for Life that targets those who are in the fledgling stages of their fitness programs. Comparatively, Walk for Life is a pared-down version of ‘Winner,’ which allows registrants to earn points (for prizes) as a result of their participation in various fitness classes and activities. It is ideal for those needing a more gradual approach to getting in shape, said Diana Martinez, recreation specialist, Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. “The Winner for Life program encompasses activities including Walk for Life,” she said. “It’s the model program. Any activity that you participate in (such as running or weightlifting events on or off the installation) will count. Walk for Life is for people who don’t want to do the other things, but they want to be active.” As in the winner program, Walk for Life par-

ticipants are encouraged to join groups that have similar fitness aspirations. The groups meet to walk at 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m., Monday-Thursday at MacLaughlin Fitness Center or “participants can do the walk on their own if
the gym is too far for them to meet,” said Martinez. The walking sessions are the means to share experiences and gain information to help participants accomplish goals, said Martinez. “I think there is a lot of value in being committed
to something,” she said last year when Winning for Life was launched, “but also to working with a group, to have some people who you can share your experiences and aspirations with. I think that has more value because it creates a sense
of community. Fort Lee is not as small as it used to be. It’s growing and there are new people coming in all the time, but I want to bring back that sense of community.” For those who choose to pass on group participation,
one-on-one interaction is available on a limited basis, according to Martinez. The Walk and Winning for Life programs are complemented by a varied list of fitness activities available at Fort Lee. They include such mainstays such as House of Pain, Zumba and yoga. Moreover, there are more than 24 classes that are free to members of the community. Those who wish to enroll in the Walk for Life program must be military members, civilian employees or family members. Registration is required. Once registration is completed, Mile Tracking Cards will be used to record group activity on a monthly basis. Prizes will be awarded to groups with the highest total of miles walked.

February is American Heart Month, a time to bring awareness to the risks of heart disease and ways to stay “heart healthy.” One of the first steps to cherishing your heart is to know and understand your heart health numbers: • Monitor and know your blood pressure. High blood pressure or hypertension is often called the “silent killer” because many do not know they have it; and it is one of the leading causes of death within the United States. The American Heart Association suggests maintaining a healthy blood pressure for your age and health status. For more information the American Heart website is an excellent reference for “American Heart Month” at http://www.heart.org/ HEARTORG/ • Check cholesterol. Cholesterol is a waxy fatlike material that a body needs. However, too much of it puts people at risk for heart disease and stroke. Individuals can check their cholesterol through a simple blood test. Get cholesterol checked every five years, unless your health care provider recommends more frequent checks, ensuring your heart is pumping as smoothly as possible. • Track weight. Maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese can increase your risk for heart disease. People can be passionate about their heart’s health by
putting some prevention into play: • Get a yearly checkup Work with your health care team even if you feel healthy. This is a great way to check for and control conditions that may be putting people at risk for heart disease such as hypertension or diabetes. • Eat healthy Eat foods high in fiber and low in saturated fat, trans fat, salt and cholesterol. Aim to eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Choosing to eat a healthy diet can help you avoid heart disease. • Exercise One of the best ways to make your heart strong is to work it out. Getting at least 150 minutes of exercise a week, like brisk walking, can help individuals stay at a healthy weight and lower cholesterol and blood pressure. • Don’t smoke If you smoke, quit. If you don’t, do not start. Smoking cigarettes greatly increases risk for heart disease. Your healthcare team can help you quit, so give them a call if you smoke or use tobacco products. • Limit your alcohol
Drinking too much alcohol over time can increase the risk for heart disease. A woman should stick to no more than one alcoholic beverage a day and men, no more than two. Want to know more on how to take care of your heart? Check out the Fort Lee Army Wellness Center. It offers community programs such as individual fitness assessments, healthy nutrition education, and weight and stress management as well as unit health and fitness assessments. The center is located in building 9205 on Mahone Avenue and can be reached by dialing (804) 734-9925 So, go ahead and love your heart this Valentine’s Day and try these tips. Remember, contact your health care provider before starting any diet and exercise program to get more information about improving your heart health.

0RXWK JXDUGV SURWHFW VPLOHV It’s easy to take some things for granted until they’re suddenly gone. Have you ever thought about how it would feel if you lost one or two of your front teeth? You’d probably avoid smiling. It would be uncomfortable talking with someone face-toface. It wouldn’t be easy pronouncing certain words. And how about eating an apple? Until teeth are gone, people might not miss them. Each year, thousands of teens get hurt on the playing field, the basketball court, or while skateboarding, biking or during other activities. Blows to the face in nearly every sport can injure teeth, lips, cheeks and tongue. A properly fitted mouth guard, or mouth protector, is an important piece of athletic gear that can protect teeth and smiles. They are often used in contact sports such as football,
boxing and ice hockey. However, teens do not have to be on the football field to benefit from a mouth guard. New findings in sports dentistry show that even in non-contact sports such as gymnastics, rollerblading, and field hockey, mouth guards help protect teeth. Many experts recommend one be worn for any recreational activity that poses a risk of injury to the mouth. There are three types of mouth guards: the ready-made, or stock, mouth guard; the mouthformed – boil and bite – type; and the custom-made one provided y a dentist. All three offer protection but vary in comfort and cost. The most effective mouth guard should have several features. It should be resilient, tear resistant and comfortable. It should fit properly, be durable and easy to clean, and not re-
strict speech or breathing. Generally, a mouth guard covers only the upper teeth, but in some cases the dentist will instead make a mouth guard for the lower teeth. A dentist can suggest the right mouth guard for teens and adults. The following are some suggestions for taking good care of a mouth guard: • Before and after each use, rinse it with cold water or with an antiseptic mouth rinse. It can be cleaned with toothpaste and a toothbrush, too. • When it’s not used, place it in a firm, perforated container. This permits air circulation and helps prevent damage. • Avoid high temperatures, such as hot water, hot surfaces or direct sunlight, which can distort the mouth guard. • Check it for tears, holes and poor fit. A mouth guard that’s tom or in bad shape can
