FORT KNOX CONCERT FEATURES TRACE ADKINS

By Jennifer PalalayCountry music legend, Trace Adkins, will take to

the stage during the 14th annual Fort Knox Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Summer Con-cert Series on June 22 at the Godman Army Air�eld. The event is co-produced by Fort Knox Family and MWR and the U.S. Army Family and MWR Command, Entertainment Division.

“FMWR is excited and proud to bring Trace Ad-kins to Fort Knox. He is a quality entertainer and an undeniable musical force who has a special place in his heart for Soldiers and Families, so we are expect-ing a great show,” said Randall B. Moore, Director Family and MWR.

Adkins has more than 30 hits on the singles charts, four Grammy nominations and �ve Acad-emy of Country Music and Country Music Television awards in his 17 years as a country artist. His trade-mark baritone voice has powered countless hits to the top of the charts and turned albums Platinum.

Adkins is a long-time supporter of the U.S. Armed Forces and recently recorded several radio PSAs with his new American anthem, “Tough People Do,” which will be featured on his eleventh studio al-bum to be released in the Spring of 2013. He is also a spokesperson for the Wounded Warrior Project and was a past honoree at their Courage Awards & Ben-e�t Dinner, where he was recognized for his e�orts to help raise awareness for the men and women who have been wounded in service. Additionally, he has performed in seven USO tours in the past 11 years in support of the U.S. Armed Forces.

In 2011, when a �re claimed his family’s home, Adkins forged a relationship with the American Red Cross, who was among the �rst on the scene. He is now a spokesperson for the American Red Cross and will compete on the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice All-Stars in their name.

Get your tickets early and save money! Tickets go on sale April 25 for only $20 until May 5. Tickets will cost $25 from May 6 – June 21. The cost of a ticket will be $35 the day of the show at the gates. Blue Star

Card holders can purchase tickets anytime for $20. Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or at the ITR Leisure Travel O�ce.

“Ticket prices are so reasonable. You can’t go to many places to see a top-notch, high-level perform-er for a fun night of entertainment for such a dis-counted price,” notes Mark Wicker, Chief, Community Recreation Division, Family and MWR. “The venue is user-friendly, so the Soldiers, Family members and community do not have to travel to Louisville or Lex-ington for entertainment of this caliber.”

Quick, easy, safe, and secure entrance onto post will be available through the Brandenburg Gate. Free concert parking will be available on Godman Army Air�eld and will open at 4 PM. Gates to the concert will open at 6 PM. Opening acts will begin at 7 PM. Adkins will take to the stage around 9:30 PM.

The venue is set up for festival-style seating and chairs and blankets are allowed. Food and beverage vendors will be on-site for your convenience. Flash photography and recordings are prohibited.

The community looks forward to the annual concert as many sponsors wish to participate and get involved with the people who make up Fort Knox. “Fort Knox Federal Credit Union’s support of the concert and other Family and MWR activities on post is our way of showing our appreciation and giv-ing thanks to those who defend our nation and our freedoms,” says Michael Bateman of Fort Knox Feder-al Credit Union, one of several sponsors of the event.

Event sponsor Bluegrass Cellular’s Jescanta James states, “My favorite part about being a spon-sor of the Fort Knox concert is being able to spend time with our customers. It’s wonderful to be able to kick back, relax and get to know them on a deeper, more personal level.”

Major sponsors of the event are Fort Knox Fed-eral Credit Union, Bluegrass Cellular Inc., Nolin RECC, Anheuser-Busch, Swope Family of Dealerships, and Brown Forman.

To buy tickets beginning April 25, call the ITR Leisure O�ce at (502) 624-5030.

By Heather WhelanIf you are a military family new to the area, or work-

ing parents looking for after school programs for your teens, then you need to know that Devers Middle School and Teen Center o�ers a fabulous program for youths in grades 6th through 12th.

I recently had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with the Devers sta� and students. I received the grand tour beginning in the gym where a group was actively involved in a basketball game. Students were not only participating in the games as players, some were running the score board, others cheering on each team, and the stands were �lled with fans. I spoke with Zach Nykowksi, an 8th grader who at-tends Scott Middle School. Zach’s family moved to this area in October 2012, and Zach says, “I have been coming here ever since then. I love it.” I asked Zach what was his favorite thing at the center and he said, “the basketball and the food. We get great food here.”

I met a 7th grader from North Middle School, Alexis Bishop. Alexis has had a di�erent experience with the center. When her family �rst arrived to Fort Knox last summer she did not know anyone that attended the center. However, af-ter Alexis started school, she made new friends and soon dis-covered that the Center o�ered a variety of activities. Alexis is now heavily involved with the clubs at Devers. “I enjoy Smart Girls and Photography. I look forward to coming here every day after school, the people are fun and and its a great way for me to meet people. Plus, Ms. Shala (LesMaster, a sta� member with Devers) is cool.”

Eddie Ragland, Director at Devers, said, “There is al-ways an activity of some kind taking place at this center. If you are looking to get your middle school or high school stu-dent involved, this is the place to be.”

Devers will o�er seven weeks of camp this summer, four in June and three in July. Signups for camp begins April 8, and campers are encouraged to sign up quickly, as space is limited, and they �ll up soon. If a week of camp is not for you – not to worry. Weekend adventure trips are planned as well. Activities such as zip line and canoeing are on the agenda.

Recently, Devers partnered with Big Brothers/Big Sis-ters to o�er an on-site mentorship program. Youth and their parents need to inquire at Devers to get an application for the mentorship program. Youths will then be matched with a Big Brother or Big Sister for a one hour weekly interaction at Devers.

“The most rewarding part of my job is being able to witness students’ success, when they return for a visit and share that they have recently graduated from college or landed their dream job. We are very proud of each and every student that comes through our program. We are honored to be a part of children’s lives,” said Ragland.

If you are interested in being a part of the activities at Devers, visit them on Facebook (Devers Middle School and Teen Center). Devers is located at 5543 Cha�ee Avenue, be-side the Fort Knox Water Park. For more information, contact Devers at (502) 624-6442.

By Tracy WhitakerNational Volunteer Week began in 1974 as a way to

recognize and celebrate the e�orts of volunteers. Since then, the original emphasis on the celebration has wid-ened; the week has become a nationwide e�ort to urge people to get out and volunteer in their communities. National Volunteer Week will be celebrated April 21 – 27 and the Fort Knox Army Volunteer Corps will be rec-ognizing its outstanding volunteers here on Fort Knox.

It is required that all installation volunteers apply for volunteer opportunities, register, track volunteer hours and maintain a complete volunteer service record on the Volunteer Manage-ment Service Informa-tion System (VMIS). Fort Knox currently has 215 organizations, includ-ing Family Readiness Groups, in the VMIS. Within those 215 or-ganizations, there are 2,729 registered volun-teers.

Yolande Smalls, Army Volunteer Corps Manager, said, “I know there are a lot more vol-unteers out there but they aren’t registered and do not track their hours. It is a shame because without them, Fort Knox wouldn’t be what we are. The volunteers are the backbone for a lot of organizations.”

Many of the Fort Knox programs would not exist without volunteers and their service. The Child, Youth & School Services Sports & Fitness Program is one of the most popular programs on post that utilizes volunteers as a main component of its activities.These volunteer coaches teach the kids the fundamentals of the sport, teamwork and sportsmanship.

“Every coach, assistant coach and team parent you see working on the �eld or on the court is donat-

ing their time to the youth athletes. This is just one pro-gram that would not exist without volunteers. Scouts, Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, and Fort Knox Spouses and Community Club are just a few more,” said Smalls.

From March 2011 to March 2012, Fort Knox reg-istered 49,115 volunteer hours. In that year’s time, the Fort Knox installation saved $866,880. This year, the Fort Knox Volunteer Corps is hoping to surpass that amount. The 2012 to 2013 results will be announced at the Fort Knox Annual Outstanding Volunteer of the Year Cer-

emony on April 25. The ceremony will recognize outstand-ing volunteers. The Outstanding Volun-teers of the Year will be announced for six di�erent catego-ries: Youth, Active Duty, Family Mem-ber, Family Team, Ci-vilian, and Retirees. In order to be nomi-nated, an adult has to have at least 200 volunteer hours in VMIS and youths must have at least 75 volunteer hours. A panel of commu-

nity leaders selects the winners for each category. An information table and volunteer display honoring vol-unteers of the Fort Knox community will be on exhibit at the Fort Knox Exchange Mall on April 26. In addition, the National Volunteer Week “Nothing But Fun” picnic will be April 27, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Eastman Park. This is a free event and open to all installation volun-teers and their families.

If you are interested in volunteering, there are still 1,248 post positions available in VMIS. Contact the Army Volunteer Corps Program for more information on volunteering at (502) 624-6779 or (502) 624-8391.

LOUISVILLE REPORTER DISCUSSES CAREER

ENJOY BINGO FUN THURSDAYS AT THE LZ

By Michael Steinmacher

Local TV staple Barry Bernson will discuss his book Bernson’s Corner: A Reporter's Notebook on Thursday, April 11, at 6:00 PM at Barr Library as part of the Authors At Your Library series. Bernson is known throughout the local television community for his many years reporting on and featuring local per-sonalities with unique stories.

Bernson’s career spans nearly �ve decades, beginning with his work in his home town of Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. He would later move to Louisville, becoming a radio news anchor for WAVE-970. His television career began in 1970 and he hosted a popular, long-running feature series called “WAVE Country” on Louisville’s WAVE 3. He would later take his folksy style of reporting on common people with uncommon stories to Chicago. He later returned to the Louisville market for WHAS 11 and, most recently, FOX 41, where he served as the anchor of Fox in the Morning.

Bernson recalls that the idea for his book started years ago, noting, “Throughout my reporting career, many people (colleagues and viewers) sug-gested I �nd some way of preserving the stories I'd been telling for so many years.” The result is Bernson’s Corner: A Reporter’s Notebook, a witty memoir written in the lighthearted style Bernson brought to his television work.

Bernson notes that he was originally going to simply transcribe some of his stories prefaced with an introduction, but that when a friend read his work, “she liked the introduction better than the scripts,” Bernson said. He then added, “It got longer and longer.”

Mr. Bernson will discuss his work, answer questions and autograph copies of Bernson's Corner: A Reporter's Notebook. Copies of the book will be available for sale at the event. For further information, contact Barr Library at (502) 624-1232.
