Students, families gather for Freedom Walk Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Representing Team Red, White and Blue, Staff Sgt. Oliver Brunhoeber, noncommissioned officer in charge at the Fort Leavenworth Veterinary Treatment Facility, ran around Normandy Track with the American flag flying high as the students, faculty and families of Unified School District 207 remembered the events of Sept. 11, 2001, during the 12th annual Freedom Walk Sept. 11.

Red, white and blue filled the streets of Fort Leavenworth as groups walked from their respective schools for the event.

“Freedom Walks were started in 2005 by Pentagon employees to honor the lives of those lost on Sept. 11, 2001,” said Keith Mispagel, superintendent. “Freedom Walks have now become a way to renew our commitment to freedom and honor all who help us maintain this freedom.

“With this, the 18-year anniversary of the untenable events, it has never been more important for our continued strength as a school district, community, state and county,” he said. “This strength is forged in commitment to justice, liberty and freedom for all of us.”

During the ceremony, the Leavenworth High School Junior ROTC color guard posted the colors, the crowd sang patriotic songs and Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Antwone Jones led the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance. Area first responders, represented by the firefighters of Fort Leavenworth Fire and Emergency Services and Leavenworth first responders, were special guests.

“Thank you all for being here today and for what you do daily to keep us safe from harm in our homes and in our community,” Mispagel said. “Your selfless actions for the safety and wellbeing of us all is admirable and inspirational.”

Guest speaker Col. Caroline Horton, 15th Military Police Brigade commander, said first responders are just one of the many things remembered about Sept. 11.

“Nearly 3,000 people died in what was the worst terrorist attack on American soil, but that’s not what we remember about Sept. 11. What we remember is the way Americans responded to the attack. We remember the courage and heroism of so many first responders — firefighters, policemen and paramedics — who rushed into burning buildings to save thousands of people,” Horton said. “We remember the passengers on the airplane that crashed in Pennsylvania who decided to fight back and not let the terrorists win, and likely prevented even more casualties.

“We remember the way that America came together to support the victims and their families, the way our flags flew proudly from every building and street corner,” she said. “We remember the men and women of our armed services — our soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, and civilians — who have de-

Oliver Brunhoeber, NCOIC at the Fort Leavenworth Veterinary Treatment Facility, represents Team Red White and Blue by running with the nation’s colors throughout the Unified School District 207 Freedom Walk Sept. 11 at Normandy Field. Students, staff, parents and other community members assembled on the field for the event remembering Sept. 11, 2001. Fort Leavenworth and Leavenworth first responders were seated in front of the podium as honored guests at the event.

The Leavenworth High School Junior ROTC Color Guard — comprised of Cadet Staff Sgt. Damian Davis, Cadet Cpl. Matthew Paige, Color Guard Commander Cadet Cpl. Kevin Fall, Cadet Sgt. Sean Casey and Cadet Tristan Lentz — walks by Fort Leavenworth and Leavenworth first responders as the colors are posted to begin the Unified School District 207 Freedom Walk ceremony Sept. 11 at Normandy Field on Fort Leavenworth. Area first responders were honored guests at the event.

Guest speaker Col. Caroline Horton, 15th Military Police Brigade commander, and Keith Mispagel, Unified School District 207 superintendent, say the Pledge of Allegiance during the USD 207 Freedom Walk Sept. 11 at Normandy Field.

ployed overseas countless times in the past 18 years. These men and women, including many who are here today, have spent the last two decades fighting the terrorists who attacked us, ensuring that they can never plan such an attack on our country again.”

Horton said the terrorists who attacked wanted to strike fear in the hearts of every American.

“They failed,” Horton said.

“They accomplished quite the opposite. Their actions awakened both the fierce determination of the American spirit and the

strong bonds of American communities. Today, we are reminded that there is nothing stronger or more resilient than the American spirit.

“Sept. 11 was a terrible day, but it was also a reminder of the things that make our country great — our freedom, our people, their courage and patriotism,” she said. “It is only fitting that we pause every year to remember these qualities, and celebrate the freedom that we enjoy.

I’ll close with the words of thenPresident George W. Bush, who, in the aftermath of the attacks, said, ‘We will not waiver, we will not falter, and we will not fail.

Peace and freedom will prevail.’”

Students from each school also addressed the crowd, reading their winning essays, “What Freedom Means to Me.” Kaitlynn Campbell, Bradley Elementary School sixth-grader, said freedom is about having a choice.

“You can choose every day how you want to live, to think, to feel, to believe, to speak,” Campbell said. “People with freedoms have a responsibility to use their voices to help others.”

Kate Lysaght, Eisenhower Elementary School sixth-grader, said freedom means opportunity.

“Without freedom, we would not have the opportunity to get an education,” Lysaght said. “We would not have the opportunity to get any job we want, or even eat the food we desire. Before we were granted freedom, these things were chosen by others or not given at all.”

Michelle Dillard, MacArthur Elementary School sixth-grader, said freedom is a basic human need.

“America was founded because people thought that freedom was something worth fighting for. In the past, many people would simply endure the many injustices they faced,” Dillard said. “Freedom was viewed as a fairy tale to many. … However, when broken (and) pushed past the breaking point, people fought. Some died and many suffered, but everyone left felt an indescribable relief pass over them.”

Elizabeth Zeller, Patton Junior High School ninth-grader, quoted the late Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa, in her essay. “‘For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others,’” she quoted. “(Mandela) believed that freedom wasn’t just for yourself, but for everyone,” Zeller said. “True freedom is boundless opportunities for change, infinite possibilities in life and casting the chains off of everyone in the world. All you need to do is cut them free.”

‘What freedom means to me ...’

Essays from Fort Leavenworth school children Elizabeth Zeller | Patton Junior High School

Freedom: Noun; The power or right to act, speak or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.

Many people in America take our freedom for granted, and do not think about how fortunate we are.

But when you think about it, you start to understand that we’re given so many choices and chances in life that others will never receive.

As recent as 52 years ago, people of different races could not legally marry in some states. Many, including me, wouldn’t be here today if some didn’t fight for their freedoms.

In 1967, an African-American woman named Mildred had married a white man named Richard. One of the only places that interracial marriages were legal at the time was in Washington, D.C., so they went there to wed. They then returned to their home in Virginia after they had married, but these marriages weren’t yet legal in the state. Weeks later, police arrived at their house unannounced and sent them to jail. The couple took their case to court, and Richard had argued “I love my wife, and it is just unfair that I can’t live with her in Virginia.”

The Supreme Court had agreed, and told them that individuals should decide who to marry, not the states.

They had fought for their love, and secured the freedom to marry who they wished. Our country is still continuing to define freedom. In fact, only four years ago, gay marriage remained illegal in many states.

Today, people have the freedom to marry who they wish. Our country was founded on the ideas of freedom, liberty, and justice for all. As you can see in the examples about marriage, our country does not always get it right the first time, or even the second time, but the important thing is that our country is always striving for freedom.

That is not the case in other countries. Unfortunately, they don’t enjoy the same freedoms that we do.

For example, people in Iran can be killed if they are not straight, they do not have freedom of the press, and women cannot even attend a soccer match or go outside without a head scarf. Families in countries like North Korea aren’t allowed to have simple pleasantries like foreign television or magazines in their households without being sent to jail or forced into hard labor, while some of us complain about how little electronics we get every day.

Of course, our country also faces many challenges and conflicts that have yet to be solved. Environmental issues, gay rights, religious and racial freedom, immigration, the list goes on — but we can change that.

Unlike other countries, we have the power to make a change. We are the future that shapes our society and country in the years to come. We aren’t controlled by one person or brain-washed into believing what we “should” believe.

You and you and everybody here, can make a difference, and form our lives and everyone else’s to the world we want, because we have the freedom to do so.

Sure, there will still always be problems in this world that we can’t fix, I know that for a fact, but we still hold the power to eliminate the ones we can.

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others,” said Nelson Mandela.

He believed that freedom wasn’t just for yourself, but for everyone. True freedom is boundless opportunities for change, infinite possibilities in life and casting the chains off of everyone in the world. All you need to do is cut them free.

Kaitlynn Campbell | Bradley Elementary School

Freedom is the power to act, speak and think freely.

Many countries don’t have freedom and many other countries are still fighting for freedom.

I’m glad my country has freedom because people don’t get to choose for me, I can decide.

I once read a book about Malala. Malala was a girl who spoke up for her rights. Malala once said, “It is better to live like a lion for one day instead of living like a slave for 100 years.”

Back in the day people controlled others by their religious ways and tricked them. People still do that, and I think that’s wrong. I think threatening people is horrible! A lot of lives have been killed, hurt or lost a loved one. All because they believed in freedom.

I believe all of us should have freedom. I think freedom is realizing you have a choice. You can

Kate Lysaght | Eisenhower Elementary School

Freedom is something that took our country years to gain. It took many wars and battles for America to get to where it is today. Hundreds of thousands of brave men and women risk their lives every day to keep us free, as well as to help other countries. We should not take our freedom for granted.

When I think of freedom, I think of opportunity. Without freedom, we would not have the opportunity to get an education.

We would not have the opportunity to get any job we want, or even eat the food we desire. Before we were granted freedom, these things were chosen by others or not given at all.

As American citizens, we all have rights that go along with our independence. Even after we were granted independence as a country, most of us still had to fight for our rights. Most women could not get jobs and not all women could vote. It was not just women who had this issue, but also people of color and different races. They

solved this problem by putting up a fight and believing in their rights as Americans. Freedom to me means we can make our own choices and we do not depend on other people. This shows how important rights are to all of us.

When we look at our nation’s flag, it should remind us of the hardships and sacrifices our nation has gone through. By sacrifices, I mean brave people risking their lives so we could have independence. They went to war knowing they might not come back home.

They fought for years in all weather conditions. By hardships I mean leaving their families behind for a long period of time. We should be very grateful for the people who helped us get to where we are now.

Our country is free unlike many others. We are very fortunate for all the new opportunities we have because we are free. We are no longer owned and controlled by anyone but ourselves. We might not think about it every day, but freedom is extremely important.

Remember, we should not take freedom for granted.

Michelle Dillard | MacArthur Elementary School

“The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.” — The Oxford Dictionary Freedom is a basic human need that we all crave, but some never get.

America was founded because people thought that freedom was something worth fighting for. In the past, many people would simply endure the many injustices they faced. Freedom was viewed as a fairy tale to many. Why would you ever realistically think that you could face an empire that’s stood for so very long? However, when broken, pushed past the breaking point, people fought. Some died and many suffered, but everyone left felt an indescribable relief pass over them.

Have you ever asked your parents, grandparents, even great grandparents what exactly does freedom mean to them?

I have. Answers I’ve gotten have ranged from going where I want to go, to being able to make my own choices. To make my own desires come true. Freedom is the option to go where you want in life if you’re able to work hard to get there.

I think freedom can also be a feeling.

Something that we feel in the fabric of our very being. It’s something our heart yearns for. Some might feel it when leaving the

choose everyday how you want to live, to think, to feel, to believe, to speak. People with freedoms have a responsibility to use their voices to help others. I believe people with power should help others who don’t have power. I believe this because I feel inspired when I see or read about people standing up for others.

The majority of people take freedom for granted than use it for good. I have a right to education, to choose what job I have, and to choose if I live safely. People who don’t have freedom don’t get those things. They also need more than the people who have freedom.

What is the point of freedom if you’re not using it to help others get the same freedom? I have freedom because of the many men and women who continue to fight and protect my rights because I was given this gift, not to keep for myself, but to give for those without freedom.

house to go to university, when they meet that red ribbon above the finish line, maybe even when you order your meal by yourself for the first time.

At the same time, freedom is a right that all people should have. It’s not always been that way though. The issue of freedom has always been prevalent in America.

The Pilgrims came here because it was such an issue. Later, men would cry “to the revolution” at the bar because freedom was becoming a gigantic issue.

But America has been on both sides of this equation. We’ve been the victims and the oppressors. The United States is not a country made on completely correct decisions. Our history is like a gigantic painting that although beautiful can have dark parts — some of the darkest being slavery, the Trail of Tears and just the body count of the Civil War. All of these examples being either fight for freedom or an infringement made on another freedom.

However, America has survived all these matters and our country now thrives. Of course, we still have issues but at this moment America is the freest we’ve ever been.

This country was built on freedom, and I hope that this generation of brilliant minds can keep that in mind while moving forward.

FORT LEAVENWORTH LAMP

Fire department celebrates accreditation Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Fort Leavenworth Fire and Emergency Services officially achieved accredited agency status through the Commission on Fire Accreditation International Aug. 9 after five years of preparation. The Fort Leavenworth Garrison and the Fort Leavenworth community came together to celebrate the achievement in a ceremony Sept. 5 at Fire Station No. 2.

“For the last 150 years, Fort Leavenworth Fire and Emergency Services has taken great pride in providing the highest level of service to the soldiers, family members and civilians that call Fort Leavenworth home,” said Fire Chief William Maciorowski. “We began this accreditation process about five years ago with one goal in mind and that is to continuously assess and improve the way in which we provide services to the best hometown in the Army.”

Garrison Commander Col. Harry Hung said he was honored to host the ceremony.

“When I came here earlier this summer, I began by circulating around, asking how are we doing and if we are doing things well.

If there are best practices, are we using them?” Hung asked. “I learned that the difference between a best practice and a good idea is that best practices should ban all other practices. … I found a best practice here with our fire department — voluntarily subjecting themselves to the rigors of an international accreditation process.

“I had the honor of at-

tending (the accreditation hearing), representing Fort Leavenworth and providing testimony. I told the commission that, as an Army installation, we face the same challenges as any small city when it comes to emergency and fire response,” he said. “We embraced the accreditation model of not just high compliance requirements but because it garners decision-making data, and, most importantly, we are subjecting ourselves to evaluations that deliberately seek to incorporate continuous improvement and international best practices into our operations. This accreditation status demonstrates our commitment in making the best hometown in the Army even better year after year.”

During the ceremony, several key personnel were recognized. Maciorowski was presented with the Meritorious Civilian Service Award. During the accreditation process, Maciorowski was responsible for developing a strategic plan, a community risk assessment and a standard of cover that outlines the vision, mission and goals of the organization.

“His achievements, dedication and exemplary performance of duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of government service,” the award citation read.

Assistant Chief of Fire Prevention Dean Turner was also awarded the Meritorious Civilian Service Award. Turner served as the accreditation manager and reviewed department policies and procedures, Department of the Army regulations and Depart-

Awards bearer Josh Altice, Workforce Development Program specialist, walks in front of assembled Fort Leavenworth Fire Department leaders — including Capt. Mark Weishaubt, Capt. Trent Strayer, Capt. Jimmy Herken, Capt. Dustin Hensley, Capt. Rob Dokos, Capt. Richard Baggett, Battalion Chief Santino Maestas, Battalion Chief Rob Allen, Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Seymour, Assistant Fire Chief Edgar Guerra and Assistant Fire Chief Christopher Bender — in preparation of each of the men receiving the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service during the accreditation recognition ceremony for Fort Leavenworth Fire and Emergency Services Sept. 5 at Fire Station No. 2. Fire Chief William Maciorowski and Assistant Fire Chief Dean Turner each received the Meritorious Service Award during the ceremony, and Capt. Edward Smith, who was not present for the ceremony, also received the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service. The ceremony celebrated the accredited agency status that Fort Leavenworth Fire and Emergency Services was awarded by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International Aug. 9.

ment of Defense instructions for conformance to the CFAI performance criteria. He was also responsible for writing and publishing the self-assessment manual.

A dozen department leaders were recognized for their contribution to the process with the Commander’s Award for Civilian Service, including Fire Capt. Richard Baggett.

“It validates all the hard work we’ve done over the years, but whether accredited or not,” he said, “we’re going to provide the same high level of service.”

Post home to variety of plants, mushrooms Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

For the first time in 17 years, Fort Leavenworth is conducting a vegetation survey to get a better idea of what is growing on post.

“The purpose of the survey is to have a baseline of what vegetation is out there and a rough estimate of the quantity of each species,” said Neil Bass, Directorate of Public Works natural resources specialist. “There are some rare plant species and some invasive species that will be nice to have pinned down to certain locations.

“One of the invasives it will be nice to have locations for is the tree of heaven,” Bass said. “There is an invasive bug, the spotted lantern fly, that seems to need tree of heaven but also feeds on domestic fruit trees, so removing all the tree of heaven could discourage the establishment of spotted lantern flies as they spread west.”

The survey, which is being conducted by the Kansas City District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is a yearlong survey that began with samplings in the spring and summer and will finish in October. The most recent sampling was Sept. 6.

“There are plants that flower at these different times of year, so getting a full year of survey was important to be thorough on what is out there,” Bass said.

Though reports have not yet been completed, Chris Name, biologist for the Corps, said the remnant prairies — the area on the bluff west of the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery — have the greatest diversity of plants.

“They had a larger variety of flowering plants,” Name said.

“Fort Leavenworth has some impressive large trees, both in the bluff and uplands, but especially down in the floodplain near the river.

“There are pecans, sycamores and cottonwood trees that are truly breathtakingly large,” he

said. “Check them out. Trees like that are hard to find in the developed world we live in these days.”

Flowering plants are not the only species that can be found on post. Some are invasive like Johnson grass and some are native like milkweed. Some plants are edible like the fruit of pawpaw trees and some are inedible like nightshade, but knowing the difference is important.

For example, both edible and inedible mushrooms can be found around post.

“In my opinion, it is really hard to differentiate between good and bad mushrooms,” Bass said. “If I can’t positively ID it, I don’t touch it.”

Edible mushrooms include puffballs, shaggy mane, coral fungi, morels, chanterelles, bearded tooth, oyster mushroom, boletes, chicken of the woods and hen of the woods. Inedible and poisonous mushrooms include amanitas, false morels, little brown mushrooms, jack-o-lanterns and green-spored lepiota, according to the Missouri Department of Conservation’s “A Guide to Missouri’s Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms.” To learn more, visit mdc.mo.gov.

Another species that can cause confusion is nightshade, which has a fruit that resembles black cherries. Nightshade can have drastic consequences up to and including death, Bass said.

There are ways to get rid of growing mushrooms and nightshade.

“Mowing (mushrooms) down will keep them taken care of and using herbicides for the nightshade,” Bass said.

However, if anything growing is unfamiliar, the No. 1 rule is to research it before touching or consuming it, Name said.

“Do your homework,” Name said. “Personal safety is paramount, so if you’re not completely sure, don’t eat it.”

Totten and a co-worker were surveying the plants in the understory at several plots across post. They had surveyed the upper story, including trees and tall shrubs, the last time they conducted the survey at the plots.

Chris Name, biologist with the Kansas City District, Army Corps of Engineers, checks the coordinates of a marked plot before identifying and recording the different plants growing in the area during a vegetation survey Sept. 6 near the Missouri River on post.

Fort Leavenworth Natural Resource Specialist Neil Bass stands next to a cluster of fairy inkcap mushrooms to show their location at the base of a tree Sept. 6 by the Missouri River on post. Some mushrooms growing on post are poisonous and can look similar to edible mushrooms. As advised in “A Guide to Missouri’s Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms” distributed by the Missouri Department of Conservation, “If you choose to eat wild mushrooms, safety should be your first concern. Never forget that some mushrooms are deadly, and never eat a mushroom you have not positively identified.”

Student council learning about leadership Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Patton Junior High School’s Student Council is bringing the “Leader in Me” program to the forefront of everyday life with three new additions to the school — banners, a wall of mirrors and a vending machine.

“This was a pretty ambitious project for (the students) to undertake,” said Aaron Hall, Stuco faculty adviser and Patton music teacher. “A lot of steps were involved in it to get it through to completion, so it is really a great sense of satisfaction to see it all come together.”

The project was set into motion last schoolyear and completed over the summer. Costs were split with the district, and the students raised their half of the money through school dances and Valentine’s Day candy grams.

“The ideas for the banners and vending machine came out of my Stuco/superintendent luncheon in the spring. Each year, I host the three elementary schools’ and junior high’s Stucos for lunch with me at the central office,” said Keith Mispagel, Unified School District 207 superintendent. “I use this as a leadership activity because I believe our student councils are the leaders of the students at the schools.

“During the luncheon, I ask them about challenges, highlights, recommended changes and wants and needs for their schools. I then have them submit proposals answering who, what, when, where, why and how much for their projects and funding request for the district,” he said. “I want the students to take pride in their school and their surroundings.”

According to the official “Leader in Me” website, “‘Leader in Me’ is an evidence-based, comprehensive school improvement model — developed in partnership with educators — that empowers students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century.”

One aspect of the “Leader in Me” program is the “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People,” which is what the banners represent.

“The (banners), we were pretty sure those would be motivational to the students, helping them remember what the habits are,” said Patton eighthgrader Cristi Scillieri, who served as a seventh-grade

Eighth-graders Cashel Lex, Cristi Scilleri and Melanie Libby stand in front of several mirrors, a display developed to align with the “Leader in Me” leadership and life skills program the school district has adopted, as students walk by at the end of the school day Sept. 9 at Patton Junior High School. As seventh-grade Student Council representatives, the students came up with the idea for the mirror display, as well as for banners that now hang in the main hallway featuring the Leader in Me values and a vending machine filled with school spirit-related items. The three eighth-graders are running in the upcoming Student Council elections, intending to continue their roles as Student Council representatives.

representative on the 201819 Student Council and is running for eighth-grade representative this year.

“Seeing them in the morning when they walk in, they can say, ‘Oh, I can use that step today.’”

Along with the seven habits — be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw — an eighth habit was added to the row of banners, “find your voice.” “‘Find your voice’ was added to Patton’s ‘Leader in Me’ program to help students think about who they are and what they stand for now, and what they want to become as they bridge into adulthood,” Hall said. “It is kind of a culmination of all of the habits put into action to affect and shape their future.”

In the same hallway, a once empty wall is now filled with mirrors of varying sizes that were donated by students and parents. “(The mirrors) are more for the seventhgraders because they’re new to the school, and they’re not used to having to go to different classes and they’re more nervous, so they get to look at themselves and say, ‘Hey, this is me and this is what I need to do for the day,’” said Patton eighth-grader Cashel Lex, who served as a seventh-grade representative on the 2018-19 Student Council and is running for Stuco president this year. “It is important for them to see their future in themselves. Look inside yourself and see who is the leader in you.”

The vending machine sits in the Tiger Pit and will be stocked with pencils, planners, gyms shirts and other things students may need throughout the

school day.

“We want the vending machine to make the students’ lives easier,” Lex said.

While the 2019-20 Student Council, which will have representative elections Sept. 13, will initially take the responsibility of stocking the vending machine, Lex said they hope to elect an action team within the council to keep it stocked.

“I hope they gain the responsibility of filling it and being responsible with the money that is gained from it because we’ll use that toward the school,” he said.

Hall said the vending machine will be a learning experience for the students.

“Everything that is involved in that, which is going to be a lot, they’re going to have to tackle that.

Basically, they’re making a small business out of it within the school,” Hall said. “It is going to be great for people that are interested in learning about business and inventory, what sells and what doesn’t and counting profits.”

Items are expected to cost between 75 cents and $5.

Students had different reasons why they like being on Student Council.

“I like being able to have an input in the school and changing it,” said Patton eighth-grader Melanie Libby, who served as seventh-grade representative during the 2018-19 schoolyear and is running for eighth-grade representative this year.

“I like being able to help with the dances because I know that is a big part for every student who comes here,” Scillieri said.

“I like helping the school,” Lex said. “That that comes first, helping the students’ needs, helping what they need instead of what you need, is great.”

The work of last schoolyear’s Student Council representatives can be seen in projects around the school, including “Leader in Me” banners hanging in the school’s main hallway and a mirror display, also in the main hallway. A vending machine, stocked with school spirit-related items, will soon be available as well.

Kansas Board of Regents launches military portal From Kansas Board of Regents and Army University releases

TOPEKA, Kan. — The Kansas Board of Regents launched its Military Articulation Portal Aug. 27. The portal provides a central resource for military members and veterans to explore the course credit available to them at public post-secondary institutions in Kansas. Many Kansas colleges and universities offer college credit for military experience.

“The Kansas Board of Regents is leading the way in identifying academic credit for military service and education, ensuring that soldiers obtain credit for accomplished military experience, education, and training is one of Army University’s strategic

goals,” said Col. Ken Hawley, director of Strategic Plans and Policy at Army University.

“Veterans and service members possess a wealth of experience and skills that they have learned in the military,” said Board President and Chief Executive Officer Blake Flanders.

“Kansas has been a leader in offering college credit for that experience, helping veterans get a head start on post-secondary programs. I’m excited that we are launching this portal to make it simple to identify available college credit and programs.”

The path to degree completion and career fulfillment is made easier through tools designed by Army University partners like the Kansas Board of Regents. The Military Articula-

tion Portal shows how collaboration and ingenuity among education stakeholders, working on behalf of the soldier and veteran, can produce high quality online tools. ArmyU is developing an enterprise tool, the Credit for Military Learning Database, to integrate military learning credit articulation websites nationally to promote transparency and predictability to soldiers and veterans seeking educational or vocational opportunities.

The regents’ portal is available at military.kansasregents.org. It links specific military occupations and courses to post-secondary course credit within applicable degree programs. It allows service members and veterans to search for college credit options based on their military

occupational specialties or by institutions and programs.

For example, a senior military police noncommissioned officer, MOS31B, Skill Level 40, might be awarded as much as 30 hours credit toward a degree at Wichita State University or as little as nine hours of credit at Kansas State University. The difference is course offerings and degree programs at the schools. The portal provides web, e-mail and phone contact information for each institution so students can get more information about programs and credit.

The portal was funded in part by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration.

The nine-member Kansas Board of Regents is the govern-

ing board of the state’s six universities and the statewide coordinating board for the state’s 32 public higher education institutions (six state universities, one municipal university, 19 community colleges, and six technical colleges).

In addition, the board administers the state’s student financial aid, adult education, high school equivalency, and career and technical education programs. Private proprietary schools and out-of-state institutions are authorized by the Kansas Board of Regents to operate in Kansas.

FORT LEAVENWORTH LAMP

After-hours calls for emergencies only Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities

One of the many benefits to residents of Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities is the presence of a responsive 24-hour maintenance staff. Although it is a valuable asset to the community, saving both time and money for residents, it is important to understand that calls placed to the Maintenance Department outside of the normal business hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday should be for emergency requests only.

Urgent or emergency service requests should only be made when the situation creates an imminent danger to residents or risks serious damage to property after hours or on the weekends.

Examples include an electrical power outage, loss of heating in the winter or cooling in the summer, or extensive flooding in a basement.

In addition to regularly offered services, the Maintenance Department also provides selfhelp items for the convenience of residents at a minimal cost, and furnace filters are available at no cost. Self-help items may be purchased at the Maintenance Warehouse at 800 W. Warehouse Road, near the horse stables.

Also, residents are asked to com-
