How to Be Scary Safe

By Kelly Appelman

It’s that time of year again: children will dress as athletes, ghosts, pirates, or their favorite princess and flood the streets collecting all kinds of delicious candy from nearby houses. Children look forward to this night for weeks. Costumes are carefully planned and routes are chosen well before the night of Halloween. Children go to school comparing costumes and talking with eager voices about how much candy they plan to consume following a night of trick-or-treating. While Halloween is full of lighthearted fun, there are several things parents and children alike need to be aware of to ensure the safety of everyone on this highly anticipated evening.

over, especially for those pumpkins on the porch with a lot of kids walking past it to trick-or-treat.

As trick-or-treating begins, first and foremost parents must remember that kids should never trick-or-treat alone. Younger children should travel with parents or a trusted adult while older children should either travel with an adult or in a group. Everyone knows children will be out and about on Halloween so it is important to be extremely cautious, even in safe areas. While out trick-or-treating, never get into the car of a stranger or go into the house of someone you do not know. You should also only visit well-lit houses. If possible, wear costumes with bright colors to be easily seen. If a costume is dark, add reflective tape to the back of it and to trick-or-treat bags to ensure your child is seen by all vehicles and other pedestrians.

As the night goes on, trick-or-treating ends and the kids make it home safely, it becomes time to dig into all the candy acquired throughout the evening. Before the gorging begins, it is very important to first check all the candy and make sure it is safe to eat. Remember to never eat opened or unwrapped candy. If the candy looks like it has been tampered with, throw it away. While in most cases it could be harmless, it is much better to be safe than sorry. It is also recommended to not eat homemade baked goods from strangers if they are handing those out instead of candy. Contrary to popular opinion, try to ration out the candy gathered for the days following Halloween. Eating all of that candy the first day or two is not recommended.

For those who expect trick-or-treaters to come to their house on Halloween, make sure to keep the exterior of the home safe and conducive to visitors. Remove anything from the porch and walk way that could pose as a tripping hazard including garden hoses, toys and lawn decorations. Make sure the house is well-lit and pets are restrained to prevent any jumping or accidental biting.

One of the most obvious “dangerous� activities surrounding Halloween is carving pumpkins, especially for younger kids. For young children, allow them to draw on the pumpkin with a pen or a marker and then have an adult do the actual carving for them. For those carving the pumpkins, remember to carve away from your body to prevent cutting in case the knife or other cutting device slips. It is best to put battery powered candles in the pumpkins instead of real candles in case it falls

While there is a lot to be cautious of on Halloween, it is still a fun time for people of all ages. Be alert, but at the same token, have a great time and enjoy the costumes, decorations and candy overload. After all; it only comes around once a year.

Every Dog Has Its Day Learning what is required BEFORE these events happen can help determine if now is the right time to bring a new member into your Family. Keep an accurate record of your pet’s history, vaccinations and medications so when the time comes, it will be easier for you to prepare. The Fort Knox On-Post Veterinarian can help with these issues.

By Laura Green

Fall is in the air and the weather is perfect for taking your dog out for a hike…What?! You don’t have a dog? No problem! October is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month. Just head out to the Hardin County Animal Shelter and adopt one! But first, there are some things to consider before adding a new member to the Family – especially a Military Family.

Another issue to consider is how a pet might react to a Family member who may suffer from combat related injuries. Pets can be a huge source of comfort for the individual or Family, but understanding how your pet might react to stress and change is crucial. Consult your veterinarian, and research, to find the knowledge and help you need to be sure your whole Family can move forward with adoption together.

The very first thing to consider is if you are willing to make a 10 – 15 year commitment.

While they don’t usually live as long as cats, dogs still have fairly long lifespans. Make sure you are prepared for that.

The next thing to consider is how old are your children? Children who are under seven years old are not usually developmentally suited for puppies less than five months old or toy-sized dogs. Puppies have very sharp teeth and toenails and can unintentionally hurt children.

In turn, puppies and toy-sized dogs can be easily injured by rough handling.

Another thought to consider is who will be the dog’s primary caretaker? There is not always someone at home, so the dog gets sandwiched in between lessons, sports, chores, etc. One parent should be designated Primary Caretaker to make sure the dog does not get lost in the shuffle.

How much you are willing and able to spend is another issue to consider. Adoption from a reputable shelter is relatively inexpensive but there are still other costs to keep in mind, such as; initial and on-going veterinary care, a training crate or obedience classes, food, grooming, chew toys, and miscellaneous supplies (leashes, grooming products and heartworm medications, to name a few). Very few dogs live their lives without at least one veterinary accident. These surprises can cost $500 or more.

The next consideration is how much time and energy can you spend on a new dog? Various breeds and ages of dogs make different demands on our spare time. Puppies and adolescents need more exercise, training, and supervision than adult dogs. The first year with any new dog will put more demands on the owner than any other time, for this is when you are setting up house rules and routines for your dog’s lifetime.

The Military Family has other important things to consider as well. When you PCS, your pet will need time to acclimate to its new home. If you TDY or deploy over-seas, what are the options for your pet? Sometimes you are allowed to take your pets with you, other times, you are not. knox.armymwr.com

You’ve decided to adopt! Congratulations!

Remember, having prior knowledge of what to expect from dog ownership is the BEST way to ensure a long, happy life with your dog.

If you decide “now” is not the right time to adopt, there are other ways to help: •

Make a Difference on Fort Knox

By Jennifer Dent

Every year on October 24, millions of Americans join together to help out their local Communities in the nation’s largest day of community service, called Make a Difference Day. This campaign was introduced in 1990 as a way for people to better the lives of others by volunteering in a variety of ways in their neighborhoods, towns and cities.

Throughout the years, many great projects and deeds have been accomplished because of this initiative. However, supporting our Soldiers and their Families is something that can be done any day of the year. Army Families are typically tight knit Communities that tend to lean on each other for the support they need to deal with the rigors of Army life. There are many support agencies on post that are constantly looking for volunteers from the local Community and residence of Fort Knox.

The CYSS sports programs are frequently in need of coaches and mentors for youth recreation leagues. These leagues are run throughout the year and each sport varies through the seasons.

Youth sports can help benefit the children of Fort Knox by teaching them new skills, responsibility, the importance of teamwork and camaraderie. It can also build self-esteem, as well as establish lifelong habits for good health.

communication among Family members, their unit and the Community. They are commonly a backbone for Army Spouses whose Soldiers are deployed.

In turn, organizations like BOSS (Better Opportunity for Single Soldiers) do a lot to help the surrounding Communities of Fort Knox.

The program provides single Soldiers the opportunity to serve their local Community through projects like local food drives, coat drives, Habitat for Humanity, and volunteer work at the Hardin County Humane Society, just to name a few. It also serves as an outlet for single Soldiers to connect with other single Soldiers, as well as provide a support system that develops bonds and a sense of Family that they might not have immediately available to them.

BOSS hosts many revenue generating activities throughout the year to fund these activities and projects. Keep an eye out for the BOSS logo – for your chance to show your support.

If you are interested in volunteering on Fort Knox, please contact the Army Volunteer Corps Coordinator at (502) 624-8419. Their purpose is to unite all volunteers and organizations on post by enhancing the career mobility of volunteers, establishing partnerships, and promoting a life-long commitment to service. For more information about Army Community Service, please call (502) 624-6291 or (502) 624-8391.

The American Red Cross on Fort Knox offers the following programs that frequently need assistance to run properly.

•

Helping Hands – provides food, clothing and household goods assistance to Military families with a financial need.

• Santa’s Workshop – provides toys to Military Families who have financial challenges during the holiday season.

•

Pet Therapy Programs – offers pet therapy training for dogs and their owners to participate in various programs serving Soldiers and their Families.

Family Readiness Groups (FRG) are organizations of Family members, volunteers, and Soldiers belonging to a unit. These groups enhance the well-being and provide mutual support and knox.armymwr.com

IT STARTS WITH RESPECT

By Marla Harris, Victim Advocate Just as each branch of the Military has a set of core values, so should every relationship. These same core values can keep your relationships strong and healthy. Core Values are more than talk, core values are lived and reflected in our everyday interactions. Respect and trust are the foundations of healthy intimate relationships, but successful lasting relationships also require integrity, commitment, honesty, selflessness and courage.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Domestic Violence can be lethal, even fatal and it is never “OK”. It goes against all relationship values. No one deserves abuse, and anyone can be a victim regardless of age, sex, race, religion, or rank. Abuse can be verbal, physical, emotional or sexual. Some of the most hurtful and long lasting forms of abuse may never leave a bruise.

The world of many domestic violence victims is lonely, isolated and filled with fear. Safety of the victims and children is essential. Family violence hurts everyone, and its effects can ripple through generations. Letting the victim know that you are concerned could make all the difference. The following are some tips for lending support to a victim of domestic violence.

• • • • •

Listen without judgement Believe the victim Validate the victim’s feelings Educate yourself on the signs of abuse Provide the Victim Advocate’s phone number (502-624-2635) for additional assistance

Although there is no right or wrong way to help a victim of domestic violence, you want to avoid anything that would make the situation worse. Here are some “don’ts”: • Never blame the victim • Don’t underestimate the potential danger for the victim and yourself • Don’t do anything that may provoke the abuser • Don’t pressure the victim • Don’t give up. If he/she is not willing to open up at first, be patient If you know that violence is actively occurring, call 9-1-1 immediately. If you see/hear abuse, call the police/MP’s. The police/MP’s are the most effective way knox.armymwr.com

to remove immediate danger to the victim and their children.

Healthy relationships don’t just happen, they take time and effort. Every couple may experience relationship challenges at times, but no matter how difficult the challenges may be, commit to live by the core values and working through the issues in a healthy way. Don’t let individual or Family stress escalate into domestic violence. Resources are available to develop positive, healthy relationships.

The following events will be conducted on and off the installation in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month: October 1 Information Fair at the Fort Knox Commissary 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

October 2 Wear Purple! Support Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

SpringHaven – Fort Knox Army Community Service, Stich Brigade – volunteers will present the SpringHaven Women’s Shelter with lap afghans and slippers for victims of domestic violence.

If you or someone you know is being abused, call 9-1-1/MPs immediately. The Fort Knox Family Advocacy Program can also provide a victim advocate to assist with resources and support. Have the courage to speak up and do the right thing. To reach the Family Advocacy Victim Advocate, call (502) 624-8391 or (270) 352-8185.

Authors at Your Library

By Michael Steinmacher

History lovers are in for a treat Monday, October 26 at 12 p.m. when historian and novelist, David O. Stewart discusses and signs his new novel The Wilson Deception as part of Barr Memorial Library’s authors series. A limited number of complimentary copies of The Wilson Deception will be available to Soldiers in uniform at the event.

The Wilson Deception is the second book in a presidential mystery series by Stewart, the author of numerous award-winning American history books.

In this new novel, Stewart blends history and suspense, mingling his central fictional characters – American doctor Jamie Fraser, and ex-ballplayer Speed Cook – with historical igures including President Woodrow Wilson, Winston Churchill and T.E. Lawrence.

realize that the President’s fragile health could cause the treaty to unravel. Fraser and Speed are drawn into the intrigue.

Stewart’s first novel, The Lincoln Deception, similarly mixed fact and fiction, with Fraser and Speed investigating the possibility that the conspiracy which killed Abraham Lincoln was far bigger, and more insidious than John Wilkes Booth’s cabal of conspirators.

Stewart is also the author of Madison’s Gift, which focused on the early Founding Father’s vital role in establishing America. His American Emperor focuses on Thomas Jefferson’s vice president, Aaron Burr, and Impeached is a study of a besieged Andrew Johnson, and attempts to begin Reconstruction of the South following the Civil War and the Republican Congress which would impeach Johnson.

With the world weary after four years of The Great War, President Woodrow Wilson’s arrival in Paris for the peace accords is cause for celebration. Fraser, an Army physician and expert on Spanish influenza, is called Stewart is an attorney whose legal career spans more than upon to advise Wilson’s physician on how to best avoid 25 years. After trying cases and arguing appeals, including the disease. With peace hanging in the balance, few arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court, and an impeachment trial in the United States Senate, he turned to writing. His short fiction has won him a Pushcart Prize nomination.

Stewart is also the founder and president of the Washington Independent Review of Books and serves as board chair for the AIW Freedom to Write Fund, a non-profit organization dedicated to the interests of writers. Stewart has appeared on C-Span’s Book TV, Hardball, CNN, and other local and regional television and radio outlets.

Copies of The Wilson Deception, The Lincoln Deception and other titles by the author will be available for purchase at the event. For further information, contact the Library at (502) 624-1232. knox.amrmymwr.com

The Road to a Healthy Lifestyle Health Benefits Fair

By Lorrie Cary-Hill

Social Resiliency is the timely capacity of individuals and groups – Family, Community, Country, and Enterprise – to be more generative during times of stability, and to adapt, reorganize, and grow in response to disruption. In short, social resiliency is our ability to live in harmony and balance with others and our surroundings through ups and downs, highs and lows, sickness and health.

Though social resiliency covers a wide variety of aspects in an individual’s life, none is greater than one’s overall well-being. Good health encompasses the completeness of one’s physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Being physically healthy equips one with the necessary tools to maintain their ability to recover, bounce back and go with the flow.

A valuable resiliency event centered on health is the Fort Knox Health Benefits Fair held annually by the Human Resources Command for Department of Defense Civilians. This event is strategically held just prior to the federal provider’s open season, during which time DoD Civilians can adjust current provider coverage, or switch enrollments to new providers.

The purpose of the event is two-fold – it both provides a platform for health, dental and vision providers to share detailed information about their programs, and it also affords the DoD Civilian the opportunity to have

face-to-face interaction, Q&A, and comparison shop the provisions and rates of each provider. As a result, the goal is that DoD Civilians educate themselves with the ability to make informed decisions regarding their health care.

Obtaining proper health care is an important component in maintaining optimum health and vitality. With health care no longer being an option, and becoming increasingly expensive, one should select the providers that give the best bang for the buck.

“When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.”

Augusten Burroughs This year’s annual Fort Knox Health Benefits Fair will be held November 5, 2015 from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the HRC Café, Bldg. 6424 Spearhead Division Avenue. All DoD Civilians are welcome.

For more information on the event, contact Lorrie Cary-Hill at lorrie.c.cary-hill.civ@mail.mil or Valerie Parks at Valerie.l.parks2@mail.mil.
