Area prison personnel compete in challenge Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

A week of competition culminated with the Lansing Correctional Facility team taking home the 2019 Prison Challenge Days trophy Sept. 21 at the U.S. Penitentiary-Leavenworth Staff Training Center.

“This is only our second time to win since this began (in the early 90s),” said Adam Hoover, LCF first sergeant. “It is awesome and it was really close, so it feels good. We had a lot of people come out and put in a lot of hard work.”

Personnel from five area correctional facilities — USP, LCF, CoreCivic’s Leavenworth Detention Center, and a combined team from the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks and the Joint Regional Correctional Facility — competed at locations around Leavenworth and Fort Leavenworth in the challenge in hopes of taking home the trophy and building esprit de corps.

Since the USP won the 2018 challenge, USP personnel hosted and organized the events. Personnel competed in 14 different events, including golf, bench press, dodge ball, a bus pull, an obstacle course, tug-of-war, a trap-and-skeet shoot, basketball, bowling, darts, pool, softball, a strong man competition, and cornhole.

New events included darts, pool and the strong man competition, which was similar to the “World’s Strongest Man” competition seen on television.

“Traditionally, the prison challenge has typically been athletic-based events. This year we had requests from staff who wanted to participate in the prison challenge but could not do the various athletic events, and I am sure all the institutions taking part in the prison challenge have staff who feel the same way,” said Jacob Dyer, USP executive assistant. “USP-Leavenworth’s overall goal with the list of events was to try to get more people from various institutions involved.”

The strong man competition was what Sgt. 1st Class David Camberos, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, JRCF, said he was most looking forward to.

“It is a lot different from the other events,” Camberos said. “It takes a different kind of athlete to compete in it. It doesn’t take much endurance; it is more of a strength thing.”

Though the Prison Challenge originated in the early 1990s, this was only the third consecutive year for the event after a long hiatus. It was brought back by former USP Warden Nicole English.

“The point of the Prison Challenge is to bring all the correctional facilities in Leavenworth County together,” Dyer said. “Even though we work at different facilities for different agencies, we all share the same goals.

“The Prison Challenge brings us all together once a year to build friendships and partnerships,” he said. “(English) knew

In the early events of the challenge week, the 15th MP Brigade team came in first in golf, first in bench press, third in dodgeball and third in the bus pull.

Alexandra Dean, Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 15th Military Police Brigade, catches a ball thrown by the Lansing Correctional Facility team during a game of dodge ball, one of several Prison Challenge events over the course of a week, Sept. 17 at the U.S. Penitentiary – Leavenworth Staff Training Center. The 15th MP Brigade team took third place in the dodge ball event, behind LCF and the USP teams.

the importance of this and that is why it was so important for her to work to bring it back.”

Ray Ramos, USP corrections officer, is one person who was around when the challenge first started, and he said he was glad it was brought back.

“It is better than it was before with a lot more events,” Ramos said. “I like it for the rookies because they get to play and then get to know the other staff members outside of work. There are times when you don’t see the

other employees unless you’re doing something like this.”

Each event was ranked first, second, third or fourth, awarding five points, four points, three points and two points, respectively. In the end, LCF won with 58 points, USP came in second with 57 points, USDB/JRCF came in third with 50 points and CCA came in last with two points.

This was the first time USDB and JRCF combined to form one team.

“Even though I have two different facilities, we’re still one Military Correctional Complex,” said Col. Caroline Horton, 15th Military Police Brigade commander and USDB commandant. “One team, one fight.

“As a one-of-a-kind brigade here at Fort Leavenworth and a very specialty niche when it comes to correctional specialists in the Army, we’re a very small operation,” she said. “I think it is important to get together with our other corrections professionals out in the civilian sector and share in camaraderie to know that we’re not the only ones who do this job, which is very difficult.”

Participants said they enjoyed the week of competition.

“It created a bond between the institutions that will be there for a while as long as people stay in place,” said Staff Sgt. David Lippens, Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 15th MP Brigade. “While it might be

for the state, it might be federal, it might be military, we all at the end of the day do the same job, so we all have an understanding of each other and this kind of gives everybody a chance to get to know each other.”

First Lt. Justin Overman, 526th MP Company, 40th MP Battalion (Detention), 15th MP Brigade, said this was the first time he’s participated in the challenge.

“It was a really fun experience,” Overman said. “It is great to build a relationship with outside prisons because there are so many things that facilities in the area can do for each other.

“We can give each other new perspectives on how things are run and … pick their brains,” he said. “Sometimes there could be something that one prison is doing that other prisons aren’t, and they can learn from that and see if it is something that could enhance the capabilities of another prison just by trying it.”

Hispanic speaker shares immigration story Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Carlos Vides, member of the Greater Kansas City Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said he hit the lowest point in his life in 2002 when he was deported back to Honduras for being an illegal immigrant.

“Everything that kept running through my head was my wife, my kid, everybody crying because when they put the handcuffs on me, it was devastating,” Vides said. “It was the worst thing knowing you have no control.”

Vides shared his story during the Combined Arms Center and Fort Leavenworth National Hispanic Heritage Month luncheon Sept. 19 at the Frontier Conference Center.

The eighth in a family of nine children, Vides said he went to school up until sixth grade, before going to work as a brick layer when he was 13. At 14, he went to work as an electrician to make more money, he said.

“The job was also a little bit easier,” Vides said.

When he was 15, Vides said he was working on a house where its owner told him about his journey to the United States. The man said he worked as a dishwasher at Red Lobster for five years and returned to Honduras with the money he earned, built a house and bought a car, a television, a bicycle, a refrigerator and shoes. Vides said this made him realize something.

“I can do this,” Vides said.

After the man told him he needed to plan how he wanted to go to America, Vides said his mom gave him a pig to raise and he eventually sold it for 250 pesos. He then started for America.

“The trip was not easy,” he said.

At night, Vides said he slept wherever he could and worked

every few weeks to earn some money before continuing on his journey. Three months later, he crossed the Mexico border at 4 a.m. into Brownsville, Texas, two months shy of his 16th birthday.

Now that he was in the United States, Vides said his mission was to make it to New York where he said he knew many Hondurans settled.

To get there, Vides said he went to Houston, and then to Alexandria, Va., where he learned English.

“My goal was to learn 100 words of English per day, and I did that,” Vides said.

At the end of 1990, Vides said he made it to New York and began working at Dunkin’ Donuts where he cleaned the kitchens.

“They liked me very quick,” Vides said.

When the manager realized that he could speak English and was friendly, Vides said he was offered a job in the front of the store serving the customers.

“Life is good now. I have money, and I have all the hours I want,” he said. “My intention was that I kept moving, I kept learning.”

Vides spent six months learning at Dunkin’ Donuts and eventually became assistant manager, then manager and then was running a Dunkin’ Donuts by time he was 17-and-a-half years old.

During this time, he said he was approached by one of the managers about whether he had his immigration papers. When he said no, Vides said his co-workers took him to apply for his papers.

“I knew that I didn’t qualify,” Vides said, “but I talked to the lawyer and applied for papers. …

I went to court, I fought and the judge said to me, ‘We’re not going to deport you. What we’re going to do is we’re going to deny what you’re asking for, but if we

Carlos Vides, member of the Greater Kansas City Area Chamber of Commerce, talks about his journey of entering the United States, first illegally as a 15-year-old boy, being deported to Honduras several years later, and then re-entering the U.S. legally, during his remarks at the National Hispanic Heritage Month luncheon Sept. 19 at the Frontier Conference Center.

catch you somewhere, we’re going to deport you.’

“So, I just became a good citizen,” he said.

In 1998, Vides moved to the Kansas City, Mo., and began working as a baker at Price Chopper. It was in Kansas City that Vides met his wife, Michelle.

After 90 days, they were married, and Vides went to work at a car dealership to support his wife and growing family.

In early 1999, Vides said his wife applied for his papers, but

they received no response.

For two years, Vides said he continued working, eventually becoming the No. 1 seller at the car dealership. Finally, in late 2001, Vides said he received a letter asking him to come to the immigration department for his green card interview.

“I thought, ‘I got everything.

I’m doing everything right,’” he said. “Then, I go to immigration to get my green card. I’ve got my wife, my kids, everybody with me because this was a big moment.

But, instead of getting papers, I got locked up. I had handcuffs put on me, my hands behind me, and they took everything.”

Vides said he was locked up for one day before he was moved to an undisclosed location where his wife found him three days later. From there, Vides said he was given two choices: remain in the U.S. but stay in jail until he becomes legal, or sign papers and get immediately deported back to Honduras. Vides signed the papers, and was deported two days later.

“My brain was shut down,” Vides said. “At this point, I’m broke and worried about my family.”

While his wife found work and fought for his papers back in the U.S., Vides said he looked for a job in Honduras, eventually finding one at a car dealership.

For 14 months, Vides said he worked, sending what money he could to his family, before finally returning to the United States in May 2003, but this time as a legal immigrant. Now, he said he travels around the United States telling his story in hopes that it will inspire others.

Katina Paynemontague, Mission Command, Capability Development Integration Directorate operations specialist, said she was truly inspired.

“I’m thankful that he had the courage to come in and talk to us about it and share his story because I think a lot of time, we miss what it really means to come to a country like the United States,” Paynemontague said. “If you’re legal it is a challenge, but being illegal and being able to overcome it and succeed is phenomenal.”

The next CAC and Fort Leavenworth observance luncheon will honor National American Indian Heritage Month at 11:30 a.m. Nov. 14 at the FCC.

Experts discuss radon threat, mitigation in homes Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

The Fort Leavenworth Garrison hosted a Facebook Live Town Hall meeting Sept. 19 and addressed a range of resident concerns.

One concern was the existence of radon in homes around post.

“Radon is a gas that is being released from rocks that are underground. It is a naturally occurring thing that happens,” said Capt.

Gary Wilson, Munson Army Center Environmental Health chief. “Where it becomes an issue is, over the years a house will begin to settle. As it settles, there are a lot of cracks and things that happen. … The cracks allow the gas to seep into the house.”

Because of this, radon is most commonly detected in basements or the first floor of homes that do not have a basement, Wilson said.

Radon, when inhaled, can potentially cause damage to the lungs and lead to lung cancer, but Wilson said the chances of that are slim.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a person would need to be exposed to

radon with four picocuries or higher for 75 years consecutively to be at risk for lung cancer. Smoking tobacco does put an individual at a higher risk, Wilson said.

“Radon takes time to travel to your lungs, but with tobacco it uses the tobacco as a vehicle to actually get to your lungs much faster,” Wilson said.

There are precautions that can be taken to reduce the risk of radon exposure in the home including providing proper ventilation in the home, particularly in the winter.

Additionally, before Fort Leavenworth housing was privatized, the government was in charge of the testing of homes on post, which included radon tests in every home. Those records are on file at the Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities housing office.

“Many (houses) already have a mitigation system installed called a passive mitigation system, so we’re only really doing testing on new houses,” said Joe Gandara, Michaels Military Housing community director. “The passive system, it is almost like a sewer line

that goes up through the attic and dissipates the gas.”

If radon is a concern in the home, a resident can put in a work order.

“The first thing we’re going to do is see if we have a test result already from either us doing it or the government doing it,” Gandara said.

If there is no test result on record, someone from the FLFHC Maintenance Office will install a radon detection device in the home.

“For three days, you’re

not supposed to disturb (the device), you’re not supposed to change the environment around it,” Gandara said. “If it gets disturbed, we have to redo the test.

“But the detector, whatever the picocuries is, it will establish what the reading is in that house, and we can actually get the reading immediately after (uninstalling it),” he said.

If the first test shows a rating of four picocuries or higher, then a second test is performed to confirm. If the second test again shows

a reading of four picocuries or higher, then the residence is put on a wait list for a mitigation system to be installed. If the first test shows less than four picocuries in the home, the testing concludes.

Because there are only five mitigation testing systems and a small number of qualified personnel to perform the tests, there is currently a three-month waitlist for testing, Gandara said. If a house tests positive for elevated levels, a work order is submitted, and within three months, a

mitigation system is installed.

“You’re talking four to six months from point of concern and getting the test done to the point in which a mitigation system, if required, is installed,” Gandara said. “We are recording all the records so that we have them for future residents as well.”

A six-month timeline is considered to be within the EPA guidelines for mitigation system installation.

“If it is between four and eight picocuries, the EPA recommends you begin mitigation within five years, so it is a very long, significant amount of time that you have to fix the issue,” Wilson said. “We are taking appropriate precautions.”

Post’s pair of lakes stocked full of fish Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Merritt and Smith Lakes are open to the general public because they are part of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism’s Community Lakes Assistance Program, said Neil Bass, Directorate of Public Works natural resources specialist. Therefore, anyone 16 years or older with an in-state Kansas fishing license is permitted to fish on post.

Each month from April to October, about 200 pounds of channel catfish are put into each lake by the KDWPT, Bass said. The lakes are also populated with largemouth bass, bluegill, green sunfish, carp, crappie and minnows.

Bass said Merritt Lake is the textbook definition of

a Kansas stocked pond since it was drained and dredged in 2015.

“It was like a clean slate.

(The lake) was totally dredged, drained and all the fish were gone,” Bass said. “Then, the state came back in and put in minnows, bluegill, largemouth bass and channel catfish, which is the kind of mix they want.”

The same process was conducted for Smith Lake in 2013. While Smith also has a good balance of fish, some fish that remained in Merritt when it was drained were added to Smith, including crappie and carp, Bass said.

All anglers must follow the Fort Leavenworth fishing regulations, which are posted north of Merritt SEE FISHING LAKES | A5

Prudence Siebert

Daily creel limits — the number and size of specific fish that can be taken — for Merritt and Smith Lakes are two catfish, 10 bluegill and one largemouth bass over 15 inches. A Kansas Fishing License is required for anglers 16-74 years to fish in the post lakes. Free Kansas Fishing Licenses are offered to active Kansas National Guard members and resident 30-percent or greater disabled veterans.

School board shares state assessment results Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Unified School District 207 board members were briefed on the spring 2019 state assessment results during the monthly meeting Sept. 18 in the Patton Junior High School auditorium.

“All of our tested grade levels scored above the state median in each area tested,” said SuAnn Grant, deputy superintendent.

The Kansas Assessment Program assessments measure students’ understanding of the Kansas College and Career Ready Standards at each grade. Thirdthrough eighth-grade students were tested on English language arts and mathematics, and fifthand eighth-grade students were also tested in science. A score of 300 or higher indicates a Level 3 — college and career ready.

The English language arts assessment asked students to read and answer questions about literary passages, informational texts and writing samples. Students demonstrated their knowledge and skills related to reading and writing by selecting the right answer by sorting, matching, labeling and ordering information, according to KAP. In English language arts, third-graders scored a median 316 compared to the state median 293; fourth-graders scored a median 318 compared to the state median 298; fifth-graders scored a median 314 compared to the state median 295; sixthgraders scored a median 314

compared to the state median 290; seventh-graders scored a median 306 compared to the state median 286; and eighthgraders scored a median 302 compared to the state median 281.

The math assessment asked students to answer computation questions and questions about data presented in word problems, equations, graphs, tables and diagrams. Students showed what they know about mathematics by selecting or providing the right answer, sorting or ordering items, creating graphs and labeling pictures, according to KAP. In mathematics, third-graders scored a median 321 compared to the state median 301; fourthgraders scored a median 311 compared to the state median 291; fifth-graders scored a median 304 compared to the state 287; sixth-graders scored a median 322 compared to the state median 287; seventh-graders scored a median 306 compared to the state median 283; and eighth-graders scored a median 313 compared to the state median 283.

The science assessment asked students to answer questions about data presented in narratives, equations, graphs, tables and diagrams. Students showed what they know about science by selecting or providing the right answer; sorting, ordering or matching items; and labeling pictures, according to KAP. In science, fifth-graders

scored a median 321 compared to the state median 299; and eighth-graders scored a median 306 compared to the state median 285.

“Really good results,” said Myron Griswold, board president. “Kudos to the staff and faculty and administration as far as continuing to move in a positive direction as far as assessments.

That’s not the be all and end all but we definitely know we’re going in the right direction and that’s the result of a lot of hard work by the professionals in this district.”

Enrollment update As of Sept. 18, there were 1,835 students — 1,746 full-time students — enrolled in prekindergarten through ninth grade. While numbers are still down approximately 22 students from the 2018-19 schoolyear, Superintendent Keith Mispagel said there was an increase from the Aug. 23 enrollment number of 1,829 students.

Enrollment changes During the meeting, the board approved changes to the enrollment policy, which provide more direct language for parent understanding.

In summation, pre-kindergarten students must be residents of post to enroll. If his or her family moves off-post at any time during the schoolyear, a pre-kindergarten student is no longer eligible to continue at-

tending pre-kindergarten.

Students in kindergarten through ninth-grade who are non-residents of post that meet all other requirements in the enrollment policy are eligible to attend USD 207 schools.

Visit usd207.org for the full policy.

Transportation app The Android and iPhone app “Bus Compass,” which allows parents to track district bus routes, will be available for download from the Google Play and Apple stores Oct. 1.

The app will allow parents to track when their student gets on and off the bus, bus routes, and will give alerts telling parents how many stops away their student’s bus is at any given time.

All information for downloading the app will be sent to the e-mail provided at registration for Skyward Family Access.

From there directions will assist parents in downloading the app, Mispagel said.

“We don’t want just anybody being able to see when the buses are at a given place on post,” added Brett Duvall, USD 207 Technology Services assistant director.

Students being bused to Leavenworth High School will also be tracked on the app.

The new Patton Mispagel briefed the board on recent meetings with Hollis+Miller Architects in rela-

www.ftleavenworthlamp.com

tion to the new Patton Junior High School, which will be located at the old MacArthur Elementary School, currently the USD 207 Annex.

Several schematic designs have been discussed and will be presented to the board at a later date. However, Mispagel said they are on track for an August 2023 opening date.

Retirement During the meeting, Mispagel and the board recognized Martha Wilk, USD 207 treasurer, who is retiring after 22 years of service to the district. She received a certificate of appreciation and a district coin.

Patton update In other news, Patton Principal Ryan Wiebe briefed the board about what’s going on at Patton.

The brief included an overview of the accomplishments of the 2018-19 Site Council from Council Secretary Kerum Steele, the announcement of a new mission statement, a new vision statement, and six new collective commitments of the school, and updates on the Four Dots initiative, and the “Leader in Me” program.

All board meetings are open to the public. For an overview of the meeting and the minutes, visit https://www.boarddocs.com /ks/usd207/Board.nsf/Public.

The next USD 207 board meeting is at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 28 at the board office.

Fishing lakes Lake and south of Smith Lake. Regulations include complying with local, state and federal laws, carrying a valid ID, and obtaining and carrying the appropriate licenses for those 16 years or older. Ice fishing, trotlines, boats and bait fish collection are prohibited on post.

Daily creel limits include two catfish, 10 bluegill and one largemouth bass at least 15 inches long.

“What (the length requirement) does is that makes sure there are some bigger fishes in here so that they can reproduce,” Bass said. “It also makes sure there are some fishes out there that people are going to be interested in catching.

“While the state stocks the catfish every month, they don’t stock the bluegill or the bass,” he said. “Those are self-repopulating, so you want to protect the young ones.”

Patton volleyball teams working toward goals Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Editor’s Note: This is the second in a series of articles about Patton Junior High School fall sports.

Bump, set and spike are the words coming from the Patton Junior High School gyms every day after school as the seventh-, eighth- and ninth-grade volleyball teams practice for their upcoming matches.

Each team — led by Coaches Jacqueline Green, Rick Funk and Kaelyn Thierolf, respectively — spends practices focusing on its own set of goals.

For seventh-grade, it is all about the fundamentals since each of the 13 girls rotate through playing each position.

“Once they know the basic fundamentals, that will get them prepared for the higher-level competition,” Green said. “My practice starts off with running laps to get their legs, their body and their arms warmed up, then I do agility skill drills with them.”

For eighth-grade, it is all about improvement since each of the 15 girls has her own specific position to focus on.

“Improvement is something everybody can strive for. If you can’t do anything else, you can at least improve from what it was when you started,” Funk said. “I also try to introduce them to things that they will be doing in high school if they continue to play.”

These techniques include libero, which is a player specialized in defensive skills, and 6-2 offense rotations.

For ninth-grade, it is all about being scrappy now that the 12 girls are playing at a high school level.

“It is about never letting a ball touch the floor and making that our first priority,” Thierolf said.

“Working on those basic fundamentals on the level that we’re playing, we don’t have to get too fancy with it. I just want us to get the ball over and for us to be successful.

“These girls have shown that they’ve been extremely scrappy by going after everything,” she said, “and I think that shows in the games because we emphasize it in practice.”

Thus far, each team has played in multiple games and tournaments and has highlighted strengths and weaknesses, the coaches said.

The seventh-grade team, though the girls have won a few of their sets, have yet to win a

Patton Junior High School seventh-graders Alexandra Gomez and Breyanna Lucas both move in to bump the ball, observed by teammates Ava Flurry and Baylee Beights, during a volleyball game against Atchison Middle School Sept. 23 at Patton. Patton lost both sets 15-25 to AMS.

match, but Green said she is still pleased.

“They progress every match,” Green said. “They are doing wonderful being that none of them had ever touched a volleyball before.”

The eighth-grade team has yet to win a set or a match, but Funk said they have been close and that there are still accomplishments to be proud of.

“Several of our sets and matches have gone 19, 20 to 25, so we just haven’t gotten over that hump,” Funk said. “Then, several of the girls, when we started out, were not able to serve

overhand, and now we’ve already had two or three who are able to now. They’re improving in the spot that they’re playing.”

The ninth-grade team has won four of their five matches.

“We lost our first game, but I think that was out of nerves,” Thierolf said. “I’m excited for us to play Pleasant Ridge (High School) again because I think it will be a different outcome.

“I think we’ve been successful because of the trust our girls have for each other, and that toughness and the mental toughness have been incredible,” she said. “I’m proud of the girls.”

After tossing the ball up, Patton Junior High School eighth-grade volleyball Coach Rick Funk watches Reagan Aviles go up to the net to hit during warmup before a volleyball match with Atchison Middle School Sept. 23 at Patton. Patton lost the first set 2225 and second set 14-25 to AMS.

The coaches agreed they all have goals as their teams finish out the season.

“I believe that once you come out on the court, you can come together as a team and work together as a team and have a mindset as a team,” Green said.

“Once they have that experience, then they can move on to a higher level, to a competitive level.”

Funk said he hopes the eighth-grade team learns to communicate with each other better.

“Communication should improve our overall team play,” Funk said. “Hand-eye coordina-

tion is one thing we can improve on, too, because there are some girls that haven’t played a sport that has involved a ball where they’ve got to actually get to it and hit it.”

Thierolf said she wants to prepare them for the upper level high school teams like junior varsity and varsity.

“If anything, I want the girls to come out more as a team,” Thierolf said. “They are not going to remember the wins and losses, but they are going to remember the experiences and the toughness and the strength that they had together.”

No matter the struggles yet to face or the goals yet to be realized, players agreed that they were enjoying playing.

Patton seventh-grader Rebecca Dannemiller said she finds volleyball interesting and fun.

“It is just nice because school is very stressful, and it is just something really fun to do where I can hang out with friends and still have fun,” Dannemiller said.

“I just hope we maybe win a few games.”

Patton eighth-grader Megan Vaitautolu, who plays setter and outside hitter for her team, said she has always enjoyed playing volleyball.

“I grew up playing volleyball since I was 7 when my dad taught me,” Vaitautolu said.

“That is how I grew my love for volleyball, and I just look forward to getting better with it every year because I like to improve. My goal is to play in high school and college and hopefully, professional.

“Also, I want to encourage my team and help all of us improve,” she said.

Patton ninth-grader Julia Mateja, who plays various positions for the team, said although she plays other sports, volleyball is her favorite.

“Volleyball is a really good team sport,” Mateja said. “It helps everybody work together really well, and it allows everybody to cooperate together and make friends, but also get in shape and have fun.”

The next seventh- and eighthgrade matches are against Piper Middle School from 4-6 p.m.

Sept. 30 at Patton.

The next ninth-grade home match is against Gardner Edgerton High School at 4 p.m. Oct. 1 at Patton.

Patton Junior High School eighth-grader Iyanna Phillips bumps the ball as teammate Reagan Aviles gets ready for the next play during a volleyball match with Atchison Middle School Sept. 23 at Patton. Patton lost the first set 22-25 and second set 14-25 to AMS.

Keep safety in mind when decorating Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities

As families begin to decorate for the coming holidays, Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities would like to remind residents of the policies for holiday lighting and the display of decorations.

A reasonable amount of inside/outside electrical holiday decorations can be displayed during the month of or 30 days before the holiday, whichever is longer. All decorations must be removed within two weeks after the holiday. Holiday exterior lighting should only be used after dark, turned off by 11 p.m. and unplugged whenever residents are not home.

Rooftop decorations are prohibited and all decorative materials must be fire resistant. Nails, spikes, building staples or any other type of fastener that may leave permanent damage is prohibited. Residents can use clips or tape to install holiday lighting and should carefully inspect and control ornamental lighting to avoid fires. Outside lights and electrical cords must be UL approved and designated for outdoor use. Cords should not be run out of windows or across

heating or ventilation ducts. Residents should always check their smoke alarms before using holiday decorations.

Residents can place lawn ornaments on the lawn if the decorations are maintained and presented in a pleasing appearance and will not interfere with maintenance of the lawn. Exterior lighting must be ground fault indicator protected and not overloaded.

For more information, see the Resident Guidelines and Community Handbook.
