WTUs to decrease by 40 percent
By David Vergun
WASHINGTON — There are 25
warrior transition units, or WTUs,
in the United States and overseas.
That number will decrease to 15
by Aug. 1, 2016, Col. Chris Toner
said.
Toner, commander of the
Army’s
Warrior
Transition
Command and assistant surgeon
general for Warrior Care and
Transition, spoke April 17, during
a Pentagon media roundtable.
The reason for the decline in
WTUs is because combat casualties have come down substantially,
he said. At its height during the
2008 and 2009 timeframe, there
were 45 WTUs with more than
12,500 Soldiers in the program.
Today, there are 3,654 Soldiers
in the WTUs, a number that is
expected to level out to about
3,000 in the years ahead, absent
war, Toner said. Those 3,000 are
expected to primarily be sick or
injured Soldiers, a normal number, considering the size of the
Army, including the Reserve component.
Of the 3,654 Soldiers in the
WTUs, about 48 percent are
active duty and 52 percent are
Guard and Reserve, he said.
Serving those Soldiers are 3,192
cadre and clinicians, so the ratio of
Soldiers
to
caretakers
is
approaching 1:1. The Army is constantly assessing those numbers to
get the balance right, he said.
Should conflict break out with
large numbers of casualties, “God
forbid,” he said, the existing 15
WTUs would be able to almost
immediately handle 8,100 Soldiers
total with the same high-level
quality of care. There would be no
problem in rapidly increasing the
cadre, Toner said.
Due to uncertainty in the world
right now,“it’s important to be able
to reverse quickly if we have to,”he
said.
To reverse quickly, Toner said
the facilities for the 10 WTUs that
are being stood down will be
repurposed, but will continue to be
compliant with the Americans
with Disabilities Act, or ADA, so
they can rapidly revert to WTUs if
necessary.
ADA compliance and other
aspects needed for care in the
facilities will be monitored and
inspected periodically, he said.The
Army Installation Management
Command is involved in the
process.
The decrease of WTUs will
impact about 300 civilian jobs. In
past WTU inactivations, the Army

Staff Sgt. Roderick Poolaw, an Oklahoma National
Guard Soldier assigned to B Battery, 158th Field
Artillery recently returned from a deployment to
Afghanistan and is happy to be back home at Fort
Sill.
Roderick joined the National Guard in 1986 in
Anadarko, where he grew up. He now resides in
Apache.
The Guardsman is the grandson of 1st Sgt. Pascal
Cleatus Poolaw Sr., the highest decorated Kiowa
Indian in Army history. The elder Poolaw served in
World War II and was awarded the Silver Star and a
Purple Heart for fighting German forces at the battle
of Normandy. He continued to serve fighting in the
Korean and Vietnam wars. During the Korean War,
Pascal was wounded again and awarded the
Distinguished Service Cross, a second Purple Heart
and two more Silver Stars.
He retired as a first lieutenant from the Army in
1962 but re-enlisted to go to Vietnam in 1967, where
he served as the first sergeant for C Company, 1st
Battalion, 26th Infantry Regiment.
Pascal made this decision to re-enlist in an effort to
keep his four sons, who were all in the military service, from being in danger after seeing one of his sons
Roderick’s father injured while serving in Vietnam.
Pascal was killed Nov. 7, 1967 in Binh Long province
during the Battle of Loc Ninh. Even in death, Pascal’s
devotion to duty was evident. He was killed attempting
to rescue his battalion commander and staff from an
overwhelming enemy assault. As Pascal was carrying a
wounded Soldier to safety, he was struck by a rocket
propelled grenade.
Poolaw Hall here is named in his honor. First Sgt.

Poolaw was also inducted into the Hall of Fame of
Famous American Indians in Anadarko. During his
military service, Pascal received 42 medals and citations. He is buried at the Fort Sill Post Cemetery.
Roderick had just been born when his grandfather
was killed. He was raised by his grandmother, Irene
Poolaw, Pascal’s wife, from whom he heard stories of
his famous grandfather.
“Everything I’ve known about my grandfather has
either been from stories, my dad or my grandmother,”
said Roderick. “There’s so many stories, it’s hard to
remember them all.”
March 17 marked the 29th year of service for
Roderick. He hopes to continue to serve for another year
before retiring after 30 years of service to the military.

Fort Sill customers will soon
have a one-stop shopping experience as the Army & Air Force
Exchange Service begins renovations on the Main Exchange.
“That’s very important for our
goals, to improve efficiencies,
improve operations and to better
support the community,” said
Michael Brennan, Exchange general manager.
Brennan said to achieve the convenient shopping experience The
Exchange is consolidating stores
like the tactical shop, optometrist
and UPS from the PXtra into the
Main Exchange. All the existing
departments including furniture,
toys, hardware and outdoor living
will also move into the Main
Exchange.
Among the additions will be a
full Starbucks, which should open
in late 2015, early 2016.
“Starbucks requires eight to 12
weeks for their design portion
because every Starbucks is
unique. It’s going tentatively
where the flower shop is,” said
Brennan.
He said AAFES is working with
force protection to allow customers to have access to
Starbucks before the rest of the
stores open.
“We don’t open up the barber
shop until 8 a.m., but customers
would have access to Starbucks
earlier so it can support our customers going to PT early and
before they go to work.”
Outside the coffee shop will be
bistro seating as well as patio coverage so customers can sit and
enjoy their purchase.
“Major General Rossi and
Colonel Waters have been great
advocates of the upgrades,” said
Brennan.
AAFES is working to improve
the shopping experience at each
installation while sustaining existing buildings. Brennan said
they’re accomplishing that goal
here by maximizing the layout of
the existing area in the Main
Exchange to create a more natural
flow for customers.
One major change will be bringing the customer service desk to
the front of the store and moving
the bank into the mall portion of
the Exchange.
“The food court will remain the
same, but the in-store bank will be
brought out to the front where
GNC is currently located,” he said.

The Fort Sill Warrior Transition Unit is inactivating along with nine other WTUs across the Army.
The decision to consolidate is the result of a
decline in the number of wounded, ill and injured
Soldiers and affords better care under the current circumstances. The Fort Sill WTU is set to
Inactivate in August 2016.

was successful at priorityplacing employees at medical treatment facilities or
elsewhere. Toner said the
Army is working to make
that happen again.
The decrease of WTUs
from 25 to 15 will not affect
existing community care
units, or CCUs, of which
there are 11. The CCUs
launched in October and
they have 577 Soldiers, of
which 39 are active-duty
and the rest Reserve-component.
The CCUs allow Soldiers
to receive care in remote
communities. A number of
the Soldiers are terminally
ill and it is important for
them to be with their
Families and within their
communities, Toner said.
Ombudsmen
A huge success of the
WTU program is the addition of ombudsmen to the
program beginning in 2007,
Toner said.
These are independent
problem solvers “who don’t
report to me,” he said. They
have been successful at not
only problem solving but
handling complaints where
Soldiers believed they were
being treated unfairly.
Taking care of all Soldiers
and veterans, particularly
those who are sick, injured
and wounded, is “a sacred
trust,”Toner said.
Soldiers
have
taken
advantage of the services
offered by ombudsmen. In
2010, one of every 299
Soldiers presented an issue
to his or her ombudsman.
By 2015, that number had
fallen to one in 553 Soldiers,
he said.
Toner attributed the
reduction in complaints to a
variety of program improvements, including Soldier,
Family and civilian assistance centers put into warrior campuses “that render a
multitude of Soldier care,”
he said.
Also, the training and education programs for cadre
and senior leaders was
redesigned and in the spring
of 2014, more rigorous cadre
selection criteria went into

“That’s a plus for the community because folks that
want to do their banking
won’t have to come all the
way through the store to
do it.”
The first change shoppers can expect to see is
Game Stop and the Tshirt shop sectioned off
while renovations begin.
Both shops will be moved
temporarily so customers
can still purchase from
them.
Other
renovations
include adding a much larger area for outdoor living and gardening merchandise and
stripping all the floors and polishing the
concrete.
“A lot of the work will be done overnight,”
said Brennan. “We’re going to save a lot of
the things that would impact the customers
the most to do during exodus.”
He said high traffic areas such as the
flooring in the food
court and bathrooms will be handled during the
December
time
frame.
“It’s exciting for
the community. I
was here in ‘84-’86
when the PX was in
the PXtra so this is
leaps and bounds
ahead.”

improving the shopping experience all over post from the

including

Chicken/Burger King and Pizza Hut on

Adaptive sports, such as the Ride 2 Recovery, challenge

effect to ensure that only the
best were chosen, he said.
The Army is looking to
tighten those standards
even further.
Besides that, Toner personally visits and inspects
each WTU at least once
every 18 months. With the
reduction to 15 WTUs, he
said he expects to be able to
visit each one every 12
months.
There are also quarterly
town-hall meetings and
inspections by the Army
inspector-general and teams
from the Department of
Defense to ensure quality
remains high, he said.
Another testament to the
program’s success is that
over the life of the WTU program, 66,000 Soldiers were
assigned to WTUs and of
those, 29,000 improved
enough to be able to return
to the force, he said.
WTU locations
The remaining 15 WTUs
will be located at each of the
Army’s divisions and corps.
One will also serve Fort
Benning, Georgia, which
has a large demobilization
center.
Another will be attached
to Walter Reed National
Military Medical Center,
Maryland, and one to
Brooke Army Medical
Center, Texas.
There will also be a WTU
in Hawaii and Germany, he
said.
Inactivating WTUs are at:
Fort Gordon, Ga.; Fort Knox,
Ky.; Fort Leonard Wood,
Mo.; Fort Sill, Okla.; Joint
Base Langley-Eustis, Va.;
Fort
Polk,
La.;
Fort

ADA units theaters apart
coordinate joint exercise
By Capt. Corey Robertson
31st Air Defense Artillery
Brigade PAO
The role of air defense
artillery Soldiers in the
Army is one that is everdemanding and also evolving.
These Soldiers guard the
skies to ensure they are free
of air breathing threats, so
aligning air defense forces
across the globe is instrumental in keeping everyone
safe.
B Battery, 4th Battalion,
3rd Air Defense Artillery
recently deployed a group of
Soldiers to the Republic of
South Korea to test the ability of the 35th Air Defense
Artillery Brigade to receive,
emplace and sustain a contingent of air defense
Soldiers.Twenty-six Soldiers
successfully completed the
mission due in large part to
the cooperation between the
two brigades.
When conducting an exercise that spans two theaters
of operations and thousands
of miles, cross-talk and coordination is everything. In
January Soldiers from 35th
ADA Brigade came to Fort
Sill to initiate the relationship as they gave mission
briefs and went over course
of action for future endeavors.
“This was the first time
this has ever been done, so
working out the reception
and staging process was a
big hurdle,” said Capt.
Michael Maricle, B Battery,
4-3rd ADA commander.
“What we ultimately want to
accomplish with future exercises is to deploy a battery
complete with Soldiers and
equipment, have them
received, emplaced and validated all within the predetermined timeline.”
The two air defense
brigades continue to foster
their working relationship
and are planning for future
joint-exercises that will test
and validate the combined
efforts of these units.

Heed posted warnings, avoid UXOs
By James Brabenec
On a post where Soldiers regularly practice artillery fire unexploded ordnance
(UXO) on the ground or partially buried on
post range lands is a constant concern.
Weather changes may happen with short
notice changing a dry, parched landscape
into a green tangled jungle. This new vegetation could hide a UXO and create a danger
to Soldier training in the area.
Fort Sill Range Operations officials want
everyone to know about, and especially for
parents to teach children about, the dangers
of UXOs and about the areas of post that are
off-limits to everyone.
Unexploded ordnance includes munitions
that have been fired but failed to function
properly a “dud.”
“When units fire artillery, each round has
a fuze. When that fuze doesn’t function, the
round just goes into the ground and
becomes unexploded ordnance,” said Larry
Aller, Range Operations chief. “It doesn’t
happen often, but when it does, we have to
treat the round as live ammunition.”
Aller said UXOs are considered a safety
hazard because “There is not a 100-percent
guarantee the fuze won’t go off, under the
right circumstances.”
He said a kick or jostle from a curious person could cause the round to blow. Other initiators of an explosion include vibrations
and changes in temperature.
“What makes unexploded ordnance really dangerous is that children don’t really
understand it. What they need to be taught
is that dangerous areas on post are marked
off for a reason. Parents or guardians must
tell them to never go into those areas,”Aller
said.
For some children, the lure of unexploded
ordnance is difficult to resist.
“Lots of unexploded ordnance is interesting in color and may be tempting for children to pick up,” Aller said. “Talk to your
children. Explain to them that Soldiers train
with live ammunition, but that it does not
always function. Tell them not to go into the
training areas to explore. And tell them that
if they see a sign that says ‘DANGER’ do not
go past that sign.”
Fort Sill officials protect Soldiers, family
members, retirees, Department of Defense
civilians and others visiting the post by posting large signs that mark the dangerous
areas on the installation.
All impact areas are marked on the Fort
Sill map. In addition to that precaution,
there are signs that mark all dangerous
areas on post.
Buddy Leavell, Range Operations operations officer, said their personnel respond
almost monthly to units that spot UXOs during their training. The good news is the
majority of them are found in training areas
or along margins of impact areas. He said
range control seldom receives reports for
UXOs in the main post or cantonment area.
Still, he cautioned people if they see something unusual laying on the ground:
n don’t touch it;
n mark the area; and
n call range control to have the item properly investi-gated.
“Parents need to tell children not to pick
up anything at Fort Sill. Should a child bring
home unexploded ordnance, don’t mess
with it. Leave it alone and call the Lawton
Police Department, the military police or the
761st Explosive Ordnance Disposal
Company. Call someone. Always assume it
is dangerous,”Aller said. Don’t be inquisitive
— it might be unexploded ordnance just
waiting to go off.
“When someone reports unexploded ordnance, EOD is called out to the area,” Aller
said.
First they evaluate the situation and often
try to blow it up in place. If that isn’t possible or safe, it is moved to a safe disposal
area.
“No one is allowed into those areas without the authorization of range control.
When authorized personnel must go into
the areas to change out targets it’s a really
big deal. They must be accompanied by
EOD and a medic, and they must wear certain protective gear. Many of those areas are
worse than mine fields,”Aller said.
He added anyone who goes into the offlimit areas on Fort Sill is at risk. Similarly,
“second-hand souvenirs” should never be
purchased and transported by anyone who
isn’t completely familiar with munitions.
Just because it may have sat on grandpa’s
desk doesn’t mean it was made safe.
“When Fort Sill first began, the Old Post
Quadrangle was the training area.Then Fort
Sill grew and so did the training. A lot of
areas on post are areas where munitions
were, at one time, expended.There are dangerous things lying around Fort Sill, and not
just in impact areas. If you happen to find
something, don’t touch it,”Aller said.
If you or someone you know finds unexploded ordnance, call range control 24
hours a day at 580-442-2994/2008, 761st
EOD at 580-442-2313 or military police at
580-442-2101/2102.

OK Guard Soldier saves stabbing victim
Courtesy article
OKLAHOMA CITY -- A woman, who was
nearly killed by a man who she thought was her
friend, has thanked the Oklahoma Army
National Guard Soldier who saved her life.
On the afternoon of March 15, Katelyn
Powers of Oklahoma City, was driving along
Interstate 35 near the Interstate 40 interchange when her boyfriend attacked her with
a kitchen knife without warning. Powers, who
is eight months pregnant, told investigators
the attack was unprovoked and without
warning.
Powers was able to pull off the road near
the bridge over the Oklahoma River and exit
the vehicle, but, according to witnesses, he
continued to stab her. Several passersby
called 911, but initially, only one stopped.
Oklahoma Army National Guard Soldier
Sgt. Kevin Painter of Lawton, saw Powers
being attacked and immediately slowed his
vehicle and positioned it between the
boyfriend and Powers.
The attacker ran away, and a few moments
later, jumped from the I-35 bridge into the
Oklahoma River.
Painter, who is a trained Army medic,
immediately began treating Powers, who was
bleeding from numerous wounds. He also
worked to calm her down and assured her
that she was safe.
Within a few minutes, police and emergency medical service personnel arrived and
the assailant, who lay on the north shore of
the river with a neck injury, was taken into
custody. Powers was treated at a local hospital for multiple cuts and other wounds.
Since that day, Powers has wanted to thank
Painter for literally inserting himself between
her and her attacker.
On April 11, she had the opportunity to
meet Painter and thank him in person for his
heroic deeds.
Their meeting began with a hug from
Powers and a big thank you. Then the two
talked about the incident for several minutes.
Painter said he saw the assailant slicing at
Powers with the knife and no one else was stopping,“so I just pulled up.”
Powers said she felt like she was going to
die on the side of I-35 until Painter interceded.
“I was very thankful [to see him pull
between us],” said Powers. “I really thought

that was the end for me.”
As the reunion ended, Painter said, “I’m Sgt. Kevin Painter of Lawton speaks with Katelyn Powers on April 11. Painter stopped a

Maj. Gen. John Rossi, Fires Center of Excellence and Fort
Sill commanding general, holds a Military Outstanding
Volunteer Service Medal, which is awarded to service
members for substantial volunteer service to the local
community.
Jennifer Dawber, Harold Sowell and Maj. Marny Skindrud receive their honors as Fort Sill volunteers of the year. Dawber
won in the active-duty spouse/family member; Sowell in the retiree/retiree spouse; and Skindrud, 214th Fires Brigade
executive officer, in the active-duty/DA civilian categories. They hold two-star notes presented to them by the commanding general.
Fort Sill honors volunteers at annual ceremony
By Jeff Crawley
None of the winners knew
that they had been selected
as a Fort Sill volunteer of the
year until they sat down at
the ceremony and saw their
name in the program.
“I’m really honored, and
overwhelmed with emotions,” said Jennifer Dawber,
active-duty spouse/family
member volunteer of the
year.
“I just found out — it’s all
right with me,” said Harold
Sowell, age 74, retiree volunteer of the year.
“I had no idea, I’m a little
bit stunned,” said Maj.
Marny Skindrud, 214th Fires
Brigade executive officer,
active-duty/DA civilian volunteer of the year.
The three were among the
dozens of volunteers recognized at the Fort Sill Helping
Hands awards ceremony
April 17, at the Patriot Club.
The ceremony honored the
installation’s top selfless
serving heroes, who were
nominated by their units or
agencies, said JD Famoly,
Fort Sill Army Volunteer
Corps program manager.
“Thank you for caring.
Thank you for sharing your
time and talent, and thank
you for your incredible selfless service,” Famoly said to
the volunteers, as master of
ceremonies.
The Helping Hands dinner
was the culmination of
Volunteer
Appreciation
Week
April
12-18.
Throughout the week, Maj.
Gen. John Rossi, Fires
Center of Excellence and
Fort Sill commanding general; and Liz Rossi, Fort Sill
first lady, with Command
Sgt. Maj. Brian Lindsey,
FCoE CSM, hosted several
socials honoring volunteers
at Polo Club.
During April, commanders thanked members of
their units who have volunteered to make their Family
Readiness Groups Army
Strong, Famoly said. They
recognized command teams,
family readiness liaisons,
FRG leaders and members,
who worked hard to ensure
Soldiers and their families
were informed, connected
and ready.
In
his
invocation,
Chaplain
(Maj.)
Scott
Nichols, Fort Sill Garrison
resource management chaplain, said: “Lord, our words
and actions tonight cannot
entirely express just how
grateful we are of their willingness to serve.”
At the ceremony, Brenda
Spencer-Ragland, Fort Sill
Family and Morale, Welfare
and Recreation director, presented General Rossi with a
symbolic oversized check
for over $2.4 million. The
amount illustrated the dollar
value of the 107,683 hours
donated by more than 3,000
volunteers here last year.
Volunteers ranged from
service members to family
members to civilians to
retirees. They include every-
one from children to seniors
in their 90s, Famoly said.
Rossi said the post could
not function, and provide all
the services it does without
its volunteers.
“We are indebted to you,
and this [ceremony] is simply a reflection of our appreciation for what you do,” he
said.
The general held up an
Outstanding
Military
Volunteer Service Medal,
which Soldiers can qualify
for through substantial volunteer service.
“I know you didn’t sign up
to do it just to get this
medal,” he said. “You, like
civilians, are doing it for the
right reason just out of service, and we absolutely appreciate that.”
Each agency, battalion and
brigade could submit their
top volunteer for the installation recognition. A five-person committee made of a senior spouse, garrison CSM,
post leaders and directors
reviewed the nominations
and made the selections for
volunteers of the year,
Famoly said.
Dawber was recognized
for her work as the 3rd
Battalion, 2nd Air Defense
Artillery Family Readiness
Group adviser, Fort Sill
Patriot Spouses’ Club parliamentarian, Army Family
Action Plan recorder and
committee member, and winner of the January volunteer
of the month award.
She regularly assisted in
the organization and implementation of the 31st ADA
Brigade’s Mind, Body and
Spirit resources tours, helping new spouses learn about
the services and programs.
Dawber also volunteered
with the PSC Casino Royale
Gala, Tree and Wreath Gala,
and decorated the Patriot
Club for the holidays.
Why does she volunteer?
“I volunteer because it’s
needed and I love it,”Dawber
said. She recalled growing up
as an Army family member
and how volunteers made the
youth centers work that she
frequented.
Skindrud, who is a member
of the 580 Rollergirls, performs between 30 and 40
hours a month in community
service as part of the team.
She volunteered giving skate
lessons to children, and
worked the concession stand
at the Fort Sill July 4 concert.
She also regularly visits the
Veterans Center to play bingo
with the aged vets, and she
worked a fund raising festival
for the Armed Services
YMCA.
Skindrud said she first
learned about volunteering
from her family when she
was a child.
“When I was a little girl and
we had tornadoes in
Wisconsin, afterward my dad
and I would just get in the
truck and start cutting the
neighbors’ tree limbs and
helping people,” she said.
Over the years she has volunteered with many venues
including the 4-H and Sunday
school.
Lt. Col. Carl Chasteen,
214th FiB deputy commander, nominated Skindrud for
the award.
“She’s the brigade XO
which is a very demanding
position for a major and
requires a lot of hours, but yet
she manages to find time to
volunteer,”Chasteen said.
Sowell volunteers with the
American Red Cross as a
greeter at Reynolds Army
Community Hospital.
“His warmth and kindness
greet the patients at RACH
bringing comfort and support
to everyone who walks in the
building, Famoly said, reading Sowell’s award citation.
Sowell, who is a retired sergeant first class, has volunteered with the Red Cross
since 2007. Before he was a
greeter, he volunteered at the
pharmacy.
Sowell said he volunteers to
give back to the community.
“Maybe one day when I get
to where I can’t do something, someone else will help
me,” said Sowell, who served
23 years as an Army food
service specialist.
Mitzi Roberts, Red Cross
station adviser, nominated
Sowell.
“We have so many dedicated
volunteers that it is really hard
to choose one,” she said, “but
Mr. Sowell has a very robust
résume from his church and
other organizations.”
As part of the ceremony,
12 volunteers were inducted
into the retiree hall of fame
inductees. They have served
more than 2,000 hours in the
Lawton-Fort Sill community.
“We have some volunteers
who have been volunteering
for over 40 years in the thrift
store,”Famoly said.

A look at Sill fishing, mercury
A reminder to all Fort Sill
anglers: Please note on the back of
your range pass there is a list of
the only ponds open to fishing. We
need you to not fish the other
ponds, so that we can restock and
try to bring back up to a quality
fishing status.
The ones that are off-limits are
those that went dry over the past
couple years, and we will start a
stocking strategy as soon as they
return to full. Fishing only ponds
listed will also help you not spend
time fishing a pond that has no or
very small fish.
Also, please don’t help us by
adding your own fish. This can
ruin a stocking strategy since it
normally starts with smaller
affordable fish, and we don’t need
lager fish gobbling them all up.
Once the water returns, we will do
our best to return our fisheries to
the high quality you expect.
In that same line of thought, I
like to review information about
mercury and Fort Sill fish. Several
years back a study on our northern neighbors, the Wichita
Mountains Wildlife
Refuge,
revealed slightly disturbing facts.
Mercury levels in the bass tested
in six of their ponds were higher
than recommended for regular
Wild Side
By GLEN WAMPLER
consumption. There are different
ways of looking at the exact findings, but they all lead to the conclusion that the amount of mercury is higher than it should be for
people who consume large
amounts of fish.
In 2003, skinless fillets were collected from varying size classes of
largemouth bass obtained from 21
ponds and three creek sites on Fort
Sill. Individual samples were taken
from 142 bass and tested for eight
metals although the main interest
was mercury.
Mercury was detected at various
levels in all samples. Since 19 of
the 21 ponds tested had at least
one bass above EPA health criterion we posted suggested restrictions on consumption.These ponds
ranged from the east side of East
Range to the far west side of
Quanah Range so it covers all of
Fort Sill.
Bass were chosen since mercury
levels in predator species are usually higher than in the fish they
prey upon because the mercury
content increases through the
process known as biomagnification. As predators eat more fish
that contain small amounts of mercury, it concentrates in their bodies.
Although not tested, flathead
catfish are definitely predators and
even channel catfish as the larger
they become the more they prey
on smaller fish. So it is likely that
they will have higher mercury contents. It also usually means that
usually the bigger the fish the
higher the mercury level.
Since these higher mercury levels have been reported we are suggesting people eat less of these fish
caught from our waters. The recommendation is that pregnant
women and children under age 7
do not eat bass caught from anywhere on Fort Sill.
For anyone else, they should
limit meals of bass caught on Fort
Sill to two per month. Once again
any predator fish could contain
high quantities of mercury and
probably their consumption
should be limited the same way.
Mercury in the bass causes no
problem with the safety of the
water for drinking or contact with
the skin so we can still cool off this
summer with a swim at Lake
Elmer Thomas Recreation Area.
Poeple can also catch a bunch of
those bass, but they just don’t want
to eat too many.
This should not be a problem
that causes too much alarm since it
shouldn’t affect much of your
lifestyle. We just want to be sure
everyone remains healthy. Lakespecific advisories for other state
lakes may be found by visiting the

Sill Soldiers seek All-Army bowling berths
By 1st Lt. Christopher
Gromek
75th Field Artillery Brigade
PAO
Two 75th Field Artillery
Brigade Soldiers, Staff Sgt.
Talyia Williams and Spc.
Geneithia Allen, have been
selected to compete at the
All-Army Bowling Trial
Camp May 11 and 12 at
Naval
Air
Station
Jacksonsville, Fla.
The two bowlers were
selected from a highly
competitive pool of talented Soldiers here, and if
selected at the next competition, will represent the
Army in the Armed Forces
Bowling Championship,
May 14-17 also at NAS
Jacksonville.
Upon
arrival
to
Jacksonville, the Soldiers
will have little time to think
about equipment or practice. They will immediately
participate in two days of
intense competition to
decide who makes the
team.
Between practice and
competition, they will bowl
more than 30 games in 48
hours.
“It’s an extreme honor and
privilege just to be considered trying out for the greatest sport the Army competes
in and a sport that I’ve
learned to love,” said
Williams of Headquarters
Support Company, 100th
Brigade Support Battalion.
“I’m a firm believer that if
you are good at something
be great at it.”
Williams endured a lot of
criticism for the way he
bowled, but his results speak
that its not how one delivers
the ball, but how many pins
fall.
“It works well for me, and
I make it work; thus selection to All-Army. I am so
excited,” said Williams who
bowled his first perfect
game Nov. 14 and recently
added a second 300-game to
his stat sheet.
When not on duty,
Williams works on his game
several nights a week and
doubles as the 75th Field
Artillery Brigade bowling
coach.
Allen is grateful for the
opportunity and ready to
compete,
“I would like to thank my
father for introducing me to
the sport and the countless
hours he spent with me at
the bowling alley helping me
to improve my skill,” said
Allen from 3rd Battalion,
13th Field Artillery. “It’s an
honor to be selected a second time. I appreciate Coach
Don Aguilar and Bill Sewell
for inviting me back. I look

Adaptive sports turns Soldier intellectual into athlete
By Shannon Collins
Army News Service
EL PASO, Texas — Adaptive sports helped one Army
reservist trade in his high school image of being an intellectual for a new image - that of athlete.
Sgt. Zed Pitts, a heavy equipment operator with the 465th
Engineering Company in Birmingham, Ala., competed in
the Army Trials, March 28 through April 3 at Fort Bliss,
Texas.
The trials helped determine who will compete as part of
the Army team during the 2015 Department of Defense’s
Warrior Games, June 19-28, at Marine Corps Base
Quantico,Va.
Pitts took gold in upright cycling, his team took gold in
the 4x100 meter relay in track, he took silver in the 400meter in track, and he took bronze in both 100-meter and
200-meter in track.
His goal is to make the Army team for the 2015
Department of Defense’s Warrior Games and then to make
the Paralympics team.
Throughout the 2015 Department of Defense’s Warrior
Games, wounded, ill and injured service members and veterans from the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, Navy and
Coast Guard will compete in track and field, shooting,
swimming, cycling, archery, wheelchair basketball and sitting volleyball. Also participating in the games will be competitors from U.S. Special Operations Command and a team
from the British military.
Now a full-time international studies student at the
University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Pitts said he was not
an athlete in high school.
“I was a brainiac. I was the president of the robotics team
and a band geek. I played the saxophone,” he said, with a
quick smile. He speaks fluent Japanese and Chinese. He
also speaks conversational German.
Pitts joined the Army Reserve nine years ago, following
his father into service. His dad still serves, he said.
During a mobilization for Operation Enduring Freedom
in December 2013, Pitts was diagnosed with Graves’ disease. According to the Mayo Clinic, Graves’ disease is an
immune system disorder that results in the overproduction
of thyroid hormones.
Pitts said the most challenging part about his illness is

Additionally, his endurance took a dive, his sleep was
affected and his resting heart rate was 119 beats per
minute.

With help from doctors at the Fort Bliss Warrior
Transition Battalion, Pitts was able to increase his
endurance and improve his sleep. He also found the adaptive sports program.
“My endurance really took off so I was able to participate
in the Army Warrior Trials,” he said. “Military adaptive
sports helped me push beyond. I was an introvert and now
I’m more social. I no longer focus on my disability. I capitalize on my abilities.”
He said illnesses like his can improve resilience. At one
point, he said, he had been 50 pounds underweight and was
depressed. But when he surrounded himself with other
Soldiers in the adaptive sports program, he said it lifted up
his spirits.
“Resilience means to overcome, push past the word
‘can’t,’”he said.“For anybody, who is still in that dark place,
you’re not alone. There are other Soldiers going through
similar or worse circumstances, so you can look to them for
... guidance and advice on how to overcome whatever
you’re going through.”
Pitts encourages anyone eligible to give adaptive sports a
try. He said he didn’t even know he was an athlete until he
found adaptive sports.
“I was talking to my family the other day,” he said.“I was
wondering where all these athletic superpowers came from.
I could’ve gotten scholarships or something. I guess I had to
save it to inspire Soldiers to participate in the adaptive
sports program and in the Army Trials - maybe even to try
out for the Paralympics.”
Pitts also encourages disabled veterans to reach out to
people in their community. He said that based on his own
experience, communities want to help their disabled veterans achieve their goals.
“People are becoming more sensitive to veterans,”he said.
“Don’t limit yourself. Just say I want to do this. I want to
participate. I guarantee they’ll open their arms.”
