The winter holiday season is a wonderful opportunity to visit Family and friends, take much needed time off from our daily routines, and reflect on accomplishments of the past year. I
special holiday greeting to all TRADOC Soldiers, civilians, and family members, especially those with deployed loved ones.
This festive season can be especially dangerous for those who fail to recognize the special hazards that surround the
winter holidays. At home, open flames from candles or fire places and holiday
heaters and ornamental lights can easily lead to overloaded electrical circuits, while frayed electrical cords or defective lights present a shock hazard, especially to young children.

We live in an ever-changing society filled with demands and responsibilities. Society requires so much of our time that we are pulled and stretched in many directions.
We place demands and responsibilities on ourselves as well. Usually, it’s the self-imposed pressure that affects us the most. Combined with society’s pressures, though, we begin to wonder if there is any peace or contentment anywhere.
As I observe people, they remind me of ants. They seem to be always moving and staying so busy that I wonder if they ever rest?
Some people even think while they are sleeping.Why is it that we as a human race find it hard to take
time to smell the flowers or even to look at the beauty that is everywhere around us? May I suggest that it may be because we as a human race are letting people and things control our lives to the point that we are living just to
fulfill their wishes instead of fulfilling ours.

Ten Army cadets from the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y., and approximately 100 students from Richmond-area high schools participated in a conference that focused on leadership and positive morale values Monday at Fort Lee’s Liberty Chapel.
Titled “Ethics in High school, College and Beyond,” the session was organized by the West Point Society of Richmond. Similar conferences across the country have taken place throughout the year, according to Evie Chitty, the Fort Lee conference chairperson and a 1994 USMA graduate. The free events are meant to strengthen commu-nities by sharing with youth the time-honored West Point values of honesty, integrity and strong moral courage.
“That has been our goal from the beginning,” Chitty said. “It’s reaching out and giving something back to the communities ... that is very near and dear to us.”
Students from Prince George, Mills Godwin, Henrico, Colonial Heights and 16 other high schools and one home-school group attended the event. Many of the attendees were Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets.
Retired Brig. Gen. Patrick Finnegan, president of Longwood University and former dean of the West Point academic board was the guest speaker. He shared some of the moments from his lengthy career in the Army Judge Advocate Corps when he faced tough ethical decisions and applied positive moral values to make the right choices. He challenged the students to walk the frequently difficult and sometimes unpopular path of “doing the right thing” during their future endeavors.
After Finnegan’s remarks, the attendees were divided into small groups and the cadets led them in discussions featuring vignettes that focused on dissecting common situ-ations and the decision-making pro-cesses that lead to certain outcomes. All of the lessons were based on USMA programs of instruction and were designed to encourage student input.
“The instruction pushes students outside their comfort zones,” said Col. Glenn Waters, director, Simon Center for Professional Military Ethics, USMA. "We ask them to talk about values and ethics and approach it as a logical problem as opposed to an emotional one. (They) develop tools that allow them to think through the complicated dilemmas that we face regardless of our values and how we were raised.”
Cadet Nick Bayer, a junior USMA student from Norco, Calif., has participated in several pre-vious conferences. He agreed with Waters and said stu-dents wouldn’t leave the Fort Lee gathering with newfound morals and principles to live by but rather a framework to deal with ethical dilemmas.
“Ethics and morals take time to develop,” he said. “It won’t be a flashpoint for them in which they come out of here 10 times different, but it will give them a good founda-

tion to move forward later on.”This the third such conference held in the Richmond
metropolitan area, said Chitty. The first event took place in 2008. The participating USMA cadets volunteer for rough-ly 20 conferences a year all over the country, said Waters.
“It’s a rewarding program, not only for the high school students who attend, but for the cadets,” Waters said. “The cadets are able to develop themselves as leaders while teaching leadership traits.”
CYSS Rates Set to Change in Attempt to Streamline Fees by Kimberly K. Fritz Family/Community Life Reporter
For the second time in as many years, Child, Youth and School Services is set to change fee categories in an attempt to streamline fees.
The intent is to make it more predict-able for parents moving from one instal-lation to another in terms of child care costs, Donna L. Nelson, CYSS chief said.
“One of the cornerstones of the chang-es is giving predictability to parents,” she said, “so the Army said, ‘Let’s try to get every installation on the same page.’”
In October 2010, the Department of Defense rolled out a new policy to bring fee ranges in sync with total family in-comes and to keep pace with the increas-ing costs of care.
In addition to the changing fee sched-ule, other updates are being made.
Beginning Dec. 1, parents will see a change in their fees for child care.
“Last year some families paid less and some paid a little more based on where Fort Lee was on the Department of the Army fee schedule,” Nelson said. “This year, parents will see a very small change and next year we will make the final change and we’ll be at the target level with the DoD.”
Nelson was excited to explain what may be the best change of all.
Families enrolling in a child develop-ment center or school age care program may select a two or four week leave or vacation fee plan – which reserves their child’s space – for each child enrolled in the regularly scheduled child care pro-
grams. Families can choose at their initial registration or when they annually regis-ter. Families who choose the four-week leave plan will pay a higher monthly fee since the fees are annualized to include vacations, Nelson said.
“A lot of people were saying that they get 30 days off, either at once or for two weeks twice a year and they’d like to have that same option with child care.”
Once a leave fee plan is selected, it re-mains in effect for the entire registration year, which is 12 months.
Revalidation of the total family in-come will be calculated during the an-nual registration/re-registration process. TFI categories will no longer be revali-dated as a part of the annual fee policy implementation process.
DoD civilian families using child care
on the installation will be required to reg-ister with a designated DoD third party administrator to determine the tax value of their child care subsidy. Parents can register online at http://dodcivilianchild-caresubsidy.com.
Late pick-up fees are set to change as well for children who are not picked up by the center’s closing time.
All programs will charge a $1-per-minute late fee per family per site for the first 15 minutes and $4 per child per site for the next 45 minutes and $5 per hour for each child per site for each hour thereafter.
Another change – tackle football head coaches may enroll one child at no cost in the sport. Subsequent children receive a 15 percent reduction for tackle football or may enroll in another sport at no cost.

Nearly 700 Soldiers from the 49th Quartermaster Group participated in a safety stand down here Friday.
The daylong training covered topics such as winter safety, drinking and driving, and domestic violence, said Col. Rodney D. Fogg, 49th Quartermaster Group com-mander.
“The whole idea of the stand down is Soldiers not having any other competing things going on,” said Fogg. “They are here to hear about safety.”
Taking a cue from the U.S. Army Combat Readiness/Safety Center, the group made “Take 5” their theme for the day.
“It puts awareness on taking five sec-onds to think about doing something safe,” said Fogg. “When you get in a car – take five seconds – and remember to put on your seatbelt. Take five seconds if you’re going our on the town and plan to have a few alcoholic beverages to make sure you have considered how you’ll get home safe.
While Friday featured a concentrated level of training, Fogg said his group keeps safety on the forefront throughout the year.
“For example, any time the Soldiers
have plans for the weekend – especially on a long weekend – we make sure they have a safe plan for their trip or activity,” he said. “All the way down to the squad lev-el, leadership members are asking about plans to ensure their Soldiers’ safety.”
Fogg said he makes safety a priority in his organization because he remembers the decisions he made as a younger man.
“Within the group – like most Army or-ganizations – the majority are young and, some are even straight out of high school,” Fogg said. “I remember when I was that age and didn’t make the best decisions, so we need to help them by telling them about the risks involved with their actions. We show them how to mitigate those risks, how to live their lives safer and how to make good decisions on a day-to-day ba-sis. We do it, in particular, for our younger Soldiers, but we all need to hear it.”
By keeping track of negative indicators across the formation, Fogg said he can see if their safety efforts are paying off – and they are.
“In the 49th QM Group over the last 90 days, we’ve seen a significant decline in the number of negative events,” said Fogg, who took command in June of this year. “It’s not just because of safety stand downs – it’s many different components to make Soldiers take care of each other.”

The Theater Company at Fort Lee earned top honors recently for its May production of the classic musical “Oliver!”.
The show received outstanding production of a musi-cal (2nd Place) in the 2011 U.S. Army Festival of the Arts Competition, which is administered by the U.S. Army Morale, Welfare and Recreation entertainment office and includes all CONUS and OCONUS productions.
Director Ann C. Easterling said the cast and crew were delighted to receive high honor for the production.
“This is an international competition and it is rewarding to be recognized for the committed hard work, talent and expertise that went into making “Oliver!” the tremendous success that it was,” she said.
Fort Lee’s production of Oliver! garnered 13 production awards including outstanding direction of a musical (2nd place) for Easterling, outstanding musical direction (2nd place) for Alisa Erway, outstanding producer of a musi-cal (2nd place) for Lee Farmer, outstanding set design of a musical (1st place) for Mercedes Schaum, outstanding costume design of a musical (1st place) for Kym P. Minks, outstanding sound design for a musical (1st place) for John “Red” Redling and outstanding lighting design of a musi-
Lee Theater Company Production Wins Honorscal (2nd place) for Rebecca Lussier.
Acting recognition went to two of the actors for their performances in the mu-sical. Kenny Holley and Mellen Minton both earned a 3rd place outstanding leading role performance award for their roles as Fagin and Nancy.
Tyler Wilson was recognized for his supporting role performance as the Artful Dodger. He earned a 2nd place outstanding performance by an actor in a musical role award. Marie Harrison was given 3rd place for outstanding performance by an actress in a musi-cal role for her portrayal of the Widow Carney.
Christopher Stephens received a spe-cial award, 1st place for outstanding cameo performance in a musical role, for his representation of Noah Claypole. No other cameo roles were recognized in this year’s awards.
The competition was established to recognize and en-courage distinguished achievement in entertainment and recreation programming and productions at Army instal-lations throughout the world. The program spotlights the dedication, quality of execution and the immeasurable extent of commitment made by members of the military,
their families, civilian volun-teers and staff who contribute to the quality of life within their communities, said Lee Farmer, Fort Lee Family and MWR’s chief of business op-erations.
Farmer said it takes the dedication and hard work of volunteers to create a musical as successful as “Oliver!”.
“If it wasn’t for volunteers, we wouldn’t have a commu-nity theater,” he said. “It’s very important to the com-munity.” The Theater Company at Fort
Lee, performs four main stage and three children’s shows per year at the Fort Lee Theater, also known as the Lee Playhouse. Since the building has been undergoing ren-ovations to install a new HVAC system the production schedule was modified. Beginning in February, the dra-matic group will bring “the King and I” to the stage and “Sweet Charity” later in the year. Both productions are large musicals. The Kid Kaper’s will bring Bad Night in Bunnytown and Unhappily Ever After to the stage.
Nancy, played by Mellen Heggie, sings "It's a Fine Life" while The Artful Dodger portrayed by Tyler Wilson lis-tens.

Known as a Ketchum Model 1861 Hand Grenade, this weapon and other types of grenades were used exten-sively by both the North and the South. Made of cast iron, wood and cardboard, these small grenades were typically used in siege operations or in the defense of fortifications during the Civil War. Many grenades simply failed to explode or were thrown back before detonating, but when used correctly they were capa-ble of significant damage.

Americans use 2,500,000 plas-tic bottles every hour! Most of them are thrown away.
Approximately 1 billion trees worth of paper are thrown away every year in the United States.
If all our newspaper was re-cycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees a year.
Recycling one alumi-num can saves enough en-ergy to run at TV for three hours – or the equivalent
of a half gallon of gas.
Americans discard 4 mil-lion tons of office paper ev-ery year – enough paper to
build a 12-foot wall of paper from New York to California.
The 36 billion aluminum cans in landfills last year had a scrap value of more than
$600 million. Someday, we’ll be mining our landfills for
the resources we’ve buried.
There is no limit to the amount of times an alu-minum can be recycled.
Americans throw away 44 million newspapers ev-
ery day. That’s the same as dumping 500,000 trees into landfills each week.
When you smell a dump, what you are actually smell-ing is the paper in the dump.
National Recycle Week – Not Just This Week ... But Always.
The Future Depends on It!Newspapers
What products are made from recycled newspaper?Recycled newspaper is reprocessed into newsprint and
wrapping paper, manufactured into molded packaging, shredded and fire-proofing added for blown-in cellulose in-sulation or manufactured into sheet rock surfacing.
How much energy is saved by recycling newspaper?Recycling one ton of newspaper saves three tons of wood
pulp. It saves the equivalent of 3,000 kilowatt hours of elec-tricity or 23 percent of the energy required to process a ton of newsprint from new pulp.Cardboard
What products are made from recycled cardboard?Recycled cardboard is manufactured into medium, liner-
board, and paper for brown paper bags.How much energy is saved by recycling cardboard?Recycling one ton of cardboard saves three tons of wood
pulp. It saves the equivalent of 3,000 kilowatt hours of elec-tricity or 23 percent of the energy needed to process one ton of corrugated cardboard from fresh wood pulp.Aluminum
What products are made from recycled aluminum?Rolled sheets of recycled aluminum can be formed into
many products, such as car bodies. Aluminum is also cast (molded) or extruded into many useful forms like pop cans.
How much energy is saved by recycling aluminum?Aluminum is the biggest energy saver of all, saving
64,300 kilowatt hours per ton of recycled material. That is a savings of 96 percent of the electricity needed when com-pared to using bauxite ore.Tin Cans
What products are made from recycled tin cans?Tin and steel are separated. Then the recycled tin is used
by the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and the steel is remanufactured into cars, cans and structures.
How much energy is saved by recycling tin cans?Reclaiming one ton of steel or tin saves 1.5 tons of ore.
Tin recycling saves an estimated 2,600 kilowatt hours per ton. Steel recycling saves an average of 4,300 kilowatt hours per ton or 47 percent of the energy required to process steel from raw materials. Glass
What products are made from recycled glass?Recycled glass is remanufactured into glass containers
and fiberglass insulation, and some of the construction uses of glass include utility trench backfill, road base material and glassphalt paving.
How much energy is saved by recycling glass?Recycling one ton of glass saves 1.2 tons of new raw ma-
terials. It saves the equivalent of 860 kilowatt hours of elec-tricity or 18 percent of the energy needed to form new glass. Motor Oil
What products are made from recycled motor oil?
Recycled motor oil is used to lighten bunker fuel, the heavy residue left from virgin oil refining, for use in ships; boilers, burned in asphalt plants and cement and lime kilns for processing heat and re-refined into motor oil.
How much energy is saved by recycling motor oil?All of the oil saved by recycling is an energy savings. Oil
doesn’t “go bad,” it just gets dirty. Re-refining cleans it up. This option cuts our dependence on foreign oil and reduces the need for new wells to be drilled.

by Paityn DonaldsonMilitary Child/Poet
I am Paityn Donaldson. I’m 13 years old. My parents are Mark R. and Sgt. 1st Class Paula E. Donaldson. I was born in Fort Irwin, Calif. When I was little, we moved to Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., and from there we went to Fort Wainright, Alaska.
Now, we are stationed at Fort Lee where my mother is a member of Headquarters and Headquarters Company, Combined Arms Support Command. We have lived here since 2007.
I have one brother, Mark Jr., and a cute little “sister,” Mia Herrera, daughter of close family friend, Sgt. 1st Class Song Herrera.
My brother and I attend West End Christian School in Hopewell. We have attended the school for five years.
When I was younger, I was never very involved with arts and crafts such as coloring and drawing. I took a lik-ing to reading and writing at a younger age, around 7 or 8 years old.
I thought that literature was a great way to express ideas, feelings and beliefs.
I thought that words just had a simple flow with them. I started off with short stories and writing little plays, but after reading excerpts from poets such as Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe, I fell in love with poetry.
The idea of putting beauty into words and describing something in detail without it becoming boring or redun-dant astounded me.
I write short stories and plays still, but I focus more on poetry. I recently read some amazing authors for a school project that rekindled my interest and gave me new ideas to improve my writing techniques.
I really believe my favorite thing about poetry, or writ-ing in general, is the ability to express one’s self in a dif-ferent type of art that anyone could relate to.
I write poems about servicemen and women because most of my close family is or was in the military.
I have a respect and amazement with what they did
or do. My dad and grandfathers, Grand Doc, on my fa-ther’s side, and Earl J. Braddy, on my mother’s side, both served in the active military.
My poems about the troops are tributes to them and all who serve or have served.
I feel that as a youth, we should show our support to veterans and active military alike. Poetry, writing, art or other forms of self expression are very good ways to rep-resent your support to the servicemen and women. My favorite poem that I wrote would have to be “For the Troops.”
I think it’s an honor to write for the military and show support to them.

November 19 is a day for action. Local community members and charitable groups will unite in a fundraising journey to reduce hunger and homelessness in the Central Virginia region.
For 35 years, Downtown Churches United in Petersburg has coordinated an annual Walk Against Hunger to support various charities that feed the hungry, serve the homeless and provide medical assistance to those in need.
And the need is greater than ever … normally self-suf-ficient households have fallen prey to a challenging econ-omy and a gloomy job market. According to the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, about 40,000 Virginians face homelessness this year. Out of those, 18 percent are families with children, and 10 per-cent are veterans – a statistic that should hit home for Fort Lee community members.
The objective of the Walk Against Hunger is simple – raise money for charitable organizations that serve the needy. Taking action is simple too – walkers raise funds by asking sponsors for a promised donation per mile. Participants can also donate canned goods and other non-perishable food at the event start and finish point.
Participants may register as an individual or as a group on the day of the event (9 a.m.) at the Walk Against Hunger starting point. The walk begins promptly at 10 a.m. at the corner of South Sycamore and Old Streets and will take place rain or shine. The route is 6.1 miles, though partici-pants decide how far they will walk.
Downtown Churches United has set a goal of $30,000 this year. The funds generated by the walk are distributed to individuals and families in Petersburg and surrounding areas through daily feeding programs, prescription assis-tance programs, emergency shelters, and other outreach and assistance charities.
One additional note: the 262nd Quartermaster Battalion is inviting other military organizations on the installation to join them for this community outreach endeavor. Unit formations should be no larger than 50 individuals and the uniform is winter PT gear or appropriate civilian attire. Family members are welcome to participate as well. For more information, contact Peggy Lee at (804) 733-5877 or Porcher Taylor at (804) 861-5472.
To find out more about the Walk Against Hunger and where to obtain pledge forms, call (804) 861-5472.

All drivers can help make Fort Lee roads safer for pedestrians. Advocacy groups are currently trying to modify section 46.2-924 of the Code of Virginia to require motorists to stop, rather than yield, to any pedestrian who is crossing any roadway in a crosswalk where the posted speed limit is 35 mph or less. THE LAW
Section 46.2-924 of the Virginia Criminal and Traffic Manual reads as fol-lows:
Right-of-way of Pedestrians: The driv-er of any vehicle on a highway shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian crossing such a highway:
1. At any clearly marked crosswalk, whether at mid-block or at the end of any block;
2. At any regular pedestrian crossing, including in the prolongation of the lateral boundary lines of the adjacent sidewalk at the end of a block;
3. At any intersection when a driver is approaching on a highway or street where the legal maximum speed does not exceed 35 miles per hour.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provi-sions of this section, at intersections or crosswalks where the movement of traffic is being regulated by law enforcement of-ficers or traffic control devices the driver shall yield according to the direction of the law enforcement officer or device.
No pedestrian shall enter or cross an intersection in disregard of approaching traffic.
The drivers of vehicles entering, cross-ing, or turning at intersections shall change their course, slow down or stop if neces-sary to permit pedestrians to cross such in-tersections safely and expeditiously.
Pedestrians crossing highways at inter-sections shall at all times have the right-of-way over vehicles making turns into high-ways being crossed by the pedestrians.
PEDESTRIAN RESPONSIBILITIESAlthough the pedestrian clearly has the
right-of-way, he cannot throw caution to the wind by not accepting any responsi-bility for his safety. The pedestrian must look both ways before attempting to cross a street and all crossings should be made in crosswalks. Crossing a street in the middle of a block where there is no designated crosswalk is flirting with disaster.
A recent review of police department statistics revealed that 73 percent of all pe-destrians injured were not in a crosswalk when injured.
The pedestrian has a responsibility to be considerate of the driver who has com-plied with the law and yielded the right-of-way. Cross the street as expeditiously as possible. The “Golden Rule” is most appropriate: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.DRIVERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Yield to pedestrians ... It’s the law.SAFETY TIPS
1. Look both ways before stepping off a curb.
2. If walking where there is no side-walk, always walk facing oncoming traf-fic.
3. If walking at night, wear light col-ored clothing or attach reflective tape to clothing so you are more visible to driv-ers.
4. Be aware that drivers may be blind-ed by sunlight or by the headlights of on-coming traffic. Never assume that a driver sees you.
5. When walking with children, always grasp their hands firmly to insure they don’t break away and dart into traffic.
6. Problem: Sometimes people don’t have enough time to get across the street before the light changes.
Advice: Wait for a “fresh” green light. It will give you the most time to cross. If there is a walk signal; wait for a “fresh” one. Remember, even with a “fresh” sig-nal; always look left-right-left to make sure it’s safe before you enter the street.
