QB Brady Miller 9 by West Point - The U.S. Military Academy

A blocked extra point by Matthew Tamburri and a 4th down sack by Curtis Jerzerick sealed Army West Point Sprint Football’s victory over Navy 24-23 in a thriller at Shea Stadium on Halloween Oct. 31.

With the win, the Black Knights (7-0, 7-0 CSFL) cap off their 17th perfect season and 34th Collegiate Sprint Football League (CSFL) title.

The seniors from the Class of 2016 who were honored before today’s game have the best four-year record of any class in the program’s 58-year history at 27-1 and won three CSFL Championships. Those seniors are kicker Warren Kay, punter Mark Dabeck, defensive linemen Jared Sturgell, Curtis Gardner and Philip Choi, wide receivers Justin Hall, Othie Freeny, Kevin O’Brien and Tucker Van Dyke, defensive backs Jack Barnett, Alfred McQuirter and Shaq Tolbert, linebacker Ryan Gallagher, and offensive linemen Gerald McDonough, Nolan Jones, Cale Brown, Darius Javan and Kenny McClain.

Sophomore running back Marqus Burrell led all rushers with 121 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries for the Black Knights while freshman quarterback Brady Miller completed 11 of 18 for 100 yards and two touchdowns. Van Dyke and Kevin O’Brien led the team in receiving with Van Dyke hauling in four passes for 20 yards while O’Brien gain 45 yards receiving.

On the defensive side of the ball, Tamburri had a game-high 15 tackles and came up with the biggest stop of the season blocking Navy’s (5-2, 4-2 CSFL) potential game-tying extra point with 3:29 left in the game. Fellow Sophomore Tanner Andrews recorded two interceptions, bringing his season-total to six. Sophomore Nathan Lopez and Tolbert also recorded interceptions for Army. Jerzerick’s game-ending sack was the only one for the Black Knights, who came into the Star Game leading the CSFL in that category with 40 and had the league-leader in Choi who had 11.5 in the first six games.

Belknap IRT by 88th Readiness Division

After more than a decade of conducting operations overseas, the Army Reserve is bringing its unique capabilities home to benefit communities across America.

Localities across the nation are tapping into these skills through the DoD Innovative Readiness Training program. First authorized in 1993, IRT allows reserve component units to hone their wartime readiness through hands-on training while simultaneously providing quality services to communities throughout the U.S.

As the military’s premier force provider of organized capabilities, the Army Reserve is ideally suited to conduct these missions, said Col. Rhonda Smillie, the 88th Regional Support Command legislative liaison.

“The Army Reserve is composed almost entirely of combat support and combat service support units,” said Smillie. “Those same enabling capabilities used in operations overseas are exactly what many communities within our own country could greatly benefit from.”

Those activities include providing support such as medical and dental care, water purification, veterinary services and engineering projects.

The Army Reserve’s most recent mission took place on Fort Belknap, a geographically isolated Indian Reservation in north-central Montana. There, 33 Soldiers from subordinate units of the West Medical Area Readiness Support Group augmented the Indian Health Services Hospital.

Named Operation Walking Shield, the mission began July 21 and concluded Aug. 1. The Army Reserve staff consisted of eight different medical specialties to include lab technicians, dentists, physicians, critical care nurses, behavioral health specialists, optometry technicians and podiatrists.

The augmentation of these Army Reserve medical personnel greatly enhanced the Fort Belknap Hospital’s own medical staff of seven, enabling the clinic to nearly double the care it provides to the more than 5,000 members of the surrounding Tribes. By conclusion of the exercise, the Army Reserve Soldiers treated more than 900 patients.

Nona Longknife, credentialing coordinator for the Fort Belknap Hospital, said the addition of these medical practitioners enables the hospital staff to augment and enhance normal operations with much needed services. According to Longknife, the Army Reserve Soldiers bring specialized skills not available at the clinic. This affords some Tribal members their only opportunity to receive much needed expanded care.

“During this time of year we have more patients coming in for check-ups and physicals for stuff like sports, schools and Head Start,” said Longknife. “We also don’t have some medical specialists here like podiatrists, so many of our patients, especially our elderly, are able to get much needed care that would otherwise be unavailable.”

Capt. Mathew Plouffe, commander of the 4225th U.S. Army Hospital, said this was their third year conducting this mission and the benefits for everyone have been undeniable.

“Our Soldiers get real-world training,” said Plouffe. “Our EMTs are going on EMT runs, they’re driving the ambulance, they are picking up patients and bringing them back to the emergency room – our nurses are getting real world nursing experience, our podiatrist is treating feet – our dental techs are doing cleanings and assisting dentists who are treating real dental issues – our behavioral health specialists are working out in the field and in the clinic. This is real world training!”

In addition, Plouffe said being able to help an underserved community has been great for moral.

“Everybody is working as a team,” said Plouffe. “It certainly builds moral and cohesion being able to have an impact on a community. We are taking care of Americans. Missions like these are our only opportunity to really do that.”

Montana Senator John Walsh visited the training at Fort Belknap for himself on July 27.

According to Walsh, the unique skills the Army Reserve brings are invaluable in addressing serious community needs within our own country.

"Innovative Readiness Training missions are a win-win for the community and for the military,” said Walsh. “Operation Walking Shield at Fort Belknap is a great example of the program’s success because personnel are able to hone medical skills while helping a community in need of those services.”

Missions like these are also a great way to build relationships between communities and the Soldiers who want to make a difference, noted Walsh.

“Service members are especially important in helping communities because they are exceptionally motivated to make a difference,” said Walsh.

Smillie, who facilitated Walsh’s visit and invited all members of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, said it is vital that the public and elected officials understand how Army Reserve IRT missions can benefit our communities.

“The Army Reserve is all about specialized capabilities. In addition to doctors and medical professionals, we have engineers, attorneys, transportation specialists,” said Smillie. “All these skills that enable our forces can also easily be transferred to the civilian sector and benefit our communities.”

This may be best illustrated by the example of Pfc. Johnna Snell who has paired her military occupation with her civilian career while simultaneously bettering her own community.

A member of the Crow Nation of Montana, Snell is an automated logistical technician assigned to the 4225th U.S. Army Hospital. She used her military training to qualify for her current civilian position as a supply technician for the Crow Agency Indian Health Services Hospital.

Snell said the combination of her background, military occupation, civilian occupation and current mission have all complimented each other greatly.

“I am proud to be a part of a unit that can actually help a Native American community through this program,” said Snell. “I’m also proud that I can do this for the Native people and bring this knowledge to other reservations.”

Snell has participated in Operation Walking Shield for the past three years. This year Snell served as the mission’s cultural liaison, charged with coordinating between the Tribes and the unit. According to Snell, the need for assistance is vast and the people greatly appreciate it.

“There is a need here and they struggle to find the services,” said Snell. “Every year we come back and they are excited to see us. The most rewarding thing is helping people in need.”

The value added to the Fort Belknap community is considerable in many aspects, said Longknife.

“Everybody understands that we get cut back, so we try to use everything the best we can,” said Longknife. “The services they provide let us saves for other things and prevents us from having to send an elder 200 miles away for the right care. Elders can’t travel like that all the time - it’s too hard on them.

“80,000 dollars is what I would have to pay for just three doctors to work two weeks,” continued Longknife. “With 80,000 dollars we could send one of our elders to a really good heart doctor, or have a child’s cleft pallet fixed, or have a child’s teeth fixed.”

Beyond benefitting from services the Army Reserve provides, knowing that someone cares and will help them impacts the community deeply, said Longknife.

“Our people have great appreciation for what is done here,” said Longknife. “Appreciation that the Army Reserve thinks that much of our people to take that two weeks that they could spend anywhere in the United States to do their Reserve time, and they choose to come here – and it fills the hearts of the people to think and know that somebody does care.”

Ukrainian Live Tour — знати, слухати, любити українське наживо.

Соковитий плейлист із добірної музики команда Ukrainian Live збирала в архівах впродовж двох років. Тур “Повернення української класики” — це захоплива розповідь про міфи, час, пристрасті та Галичину. У тринадцятьох містах України в рамках великого концертного туру Ukrainian Live, за підтримки Українського культурного фонду.

З понад 1000 композиторів було обрано 10 митців, які жили і творили музичну культуру на зламі епох. Вони — ніжні та романтичні, трагічні та мрійливі, бурхливі та медитативні — їх твори, об’єднані в унікальну добірку, з акцентом на Час, Пристрасть і Міфи.

Час

Час, помножений на швидкість — це відстань. Міст між минулим і майбутнім.

Сидір Воробкевич — ранній професійний галицький композитор, фортепіанна “Фантазія” якого розпочинає музичну подорож Ukrainian Live Tour. Автодидакт, його постать однозначно знакова для української музичної історії. Лістівські традиції простежуються у творах Воробкевича расподійністю форми та наративністю викладу музичної думки.

Столітній класик українського мистецтва Станіслав Людкевич. Без нього важко уявити Львів ХХ століття. Він переносить у сферу споглядальності, мелодійності та мрій.

Пристрасть

Пришвидшує биття серця, тиск крові граничний.

Пізній романтизм Нестора Нижанківського — згусток емоцій та насичених фарб, від глибокої лірики до потужного драматизму.

Так само пристрасним був Зиновій Лисько. В культурі його закарбували сміливі експерименти з музичною мовою та формою, в найкращих тенденціях нововіденців, Берга та Веберна, та розгалужена ритмічна структура створюють незабутнє відчуття гри з часом та простором.

Міфи

Дві трагічні історії двох галицьких митців.

У концерті прозвучать дві фортепіанні мініатюри Бориса Кудрика — митця з трагічною долею, зламаною тоталітарним режимом. Попри це, Кудрик до останніх днів залишався безмежним оптимістом, його творчість світилася любов’ю до життя. Василь Барвінський пройшов тернистий шлях від ректора львівської консерваторії до полоненого у концтаборах тоталітарного режиму. Його твори спалювали у внутрішньому дворику консерваторії, а зараз увесь світ шукає його загублені рукописи, аби відновити історичну справедливість. Так склалося, що з Борисом Кудриком вони були ув’язнені у сусідніх концтаборах - проте лише Барвінський був реабілітований за життя. Йому вдалося привести назад до України декілька мініатюр Кудрика, а безліч фортепіанних сонат, якими славився композитор були назавжди втрачені.

З 15 вересня до 26 жовтня, у 13 містах України, за маршрутом - Львів, Тернопіль, Хмельницький, Вінниця, Житомир, Рівне, Київ, Чернігів, Харків, Кривий Ріг, Дніпро, Кропивницький та Одеса.

Команда Ukrainian Live ретельно працює над тим, щоб класичною музикою могли насолодитись якомога більше людей, щоб українці пізнали та цінували своє національне культурне надбання.

Ukrainian Live Tour — know, listen and love Ukrainian live.

A rich play list of selected music the Ukrainian Live team had been gathering through archives for two years. The "Return of Ukrainian Classical Music" tour is an exciting tale about myths, time, passion, and Galicia. In thirteen cities of Ukraine, in the framework of the Ukrainian Live grand concert tour with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation.

10 artists who lived and created musical culture at the break of eras were chosen from over 1,000 composers. Their creations are tender and romantic, tragic and wistful, wild and meditative and they are combined into a unique selection with emphasis on Time, Passion and Myths.

Time

Time multiplied by speed is distance. A bridge between past and present.

Sydir Vorobkevych is an early professional Galician composer. His "Fantasy" for the piano begins the musical journey of the Ukrainian Live Tour. Being a self-taught man, he is uniquely significant for Ukrainian musical history. Traditions of Liszt can be traced in the works by Vorobkevych with a rhapsodic form and a narrative expression of the musical thought.

Stanyslav Lyudkevych is a centennial classic of Ukrainian art. It's hard to imagine the XX century Lviv without him. He brings us into the realm of observance, melody and dreams.

Passion

The heart is quickening its pace and blood pressure is up to the limit.

Late romanticism of Nestor Nyzhankivsky is a cluster of emotions and rich colors, from deep lyrics to powerful drama.

Zynoviy Lysko was just as passionate. His work is a part of our culture and he is remembered for bold experiments with musical language and form in the best trends of the newcomers Berg and Webern and the ramified rhythmic structure, which when combined create an unforgettable feeling of playing with time and space.

Myths

Two tragic stories of two artists from Galicia.

At the concert you will hear two miniatures for the piano written by Borys Kudryk, an artist with a tragic fate destroyed by the totalitarian regime. Despite all of that, Kudryk remained an optimist till his last days and his work shines with love for life. Vasyl Barvinskyi went through a thorny path from being the Head of the Lviv Academy of Music to a prisoner in the concentration camps of the totalitarian regime. His works were burnt in the inner yard of the Academy and now the whole world is searching for his lost manuscripts to restore historic justice. It so happened that both he and Borys Kudryk were imprisoned in neighboring camps. However, only Barvinskyi got exonerated while still being alive. He managed to bring several miniatures by Kudryk back to Ukraine, but numerous piano sonatas the composer was so famous for were lost forever.

From September 15 till October 26, in 13 cities of Ukraine with the following route — Lviv, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsya, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, Dnipro, Kropyvnytskyi and Odesa.

The Ukrainian Live team puts in a lot of effort so that classical music can be enjoyed by as many people as possible and so that Ukrainian know and value their national cultural heritage.

03/16/18 - SAS blanks Allegany-Limestone in final minutes for 55-50 win in Class C girls basketball semifinal by Syracuse Academy

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.

The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.

"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."

"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."

SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.

The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.

"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."

The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.

"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.

I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."

Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.

But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.

On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.

The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.

"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."

Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.

"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."

The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.

Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.

No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

600th Atlas Launch Highlights by Air Force Space Command

1

Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., (Oct. 18, 2009) – Adding to the Atlas rocket program’s accomplished five decade legacy, a United Launch Alliance Atlas V successfully launched the U.S. Air Force’s Defense Meteorological Satellite Program F18 (DMSP F18) mission from Space Launch Complex-3 here at 9:12 a.m. PDT, today. The DMSP F18 spacecraft was built for the Air Force by Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company in Sunnyvale, Calif.

This mission marked the 600th launch of an Atlas vehicle, carrying on a proud tradition that began with the first Atlas A rocket launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., in 1957. For the Atlas V, today’s success was the 18th for the program, with a 100 percent mission success rate. The inaugural launch for the latest Atlas V configuration occurred from CCAFS on Aug. 21, 2002.

"This is a proud moment in the 52 year history of the Atlas program and for United Launch Alliance,” said Mark Wilkins, ULA vice president, Atlas Product Line. “First, I want to thank our Air Force customer for trusting ULA to launch this important mission. I’d also like to recognize all the men and women who have served on the Atlas team since 1957. Their determination, dedication and attention to detail have made this significant milestone possible. Combining our Atlas and Delta launch vehicle program’s more than 100 years of experience gives ULA the most experienced space launch team in the world.”

During the program’s history, 315 launches have taken place from CCAFS with 285 missions, including today’s launch, launching from Vandenberg. While the Atlas program has launched numerous important missions, it may be most famous for launching Mercury astronauts John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, Wally Schirra and Gordon Cooper during the early days of human space flight. Atlas has also launched several Moon and planetary missions including the recent Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission on June 18.

This mission, designated AV-017, was launched aboard an Atlas V 401 configuration using the Common Core Booster powered by the RD-180 engine. The 17 previous Atlas V launches included three missions each for the Air Force, NASA, and NRO along with eight for commercial customers.

ULA's next launch, currently scheduled for Nov. 14, is the Atlas V IntelSat-14 mission from Space Launch Complex-41 at CCAFS.

NAIA Cross Country Nationals - XC at USM by The University of Saint Mary

Spires Runners Post Strong Showing at Nationals

The University of Saint Mary Men’s Cross Country Team and Women's Team runner Ana Gamboa competed this Saturday in the 2013 NAIA Cross Country National Championships at Rim Rock Farm in Lawrence, Kan. The men’s and women’s race featured 32 of the best teams and over 300 of the best cross country runners in the NAIA.

It turned out to be a very cold morning with the temperature only being in the 20’s for the start of both the men and women’s race.

The Spire men had a very good showing at the team’s first-ever national championship race in the program's three-year history. The team placed 22nd in the country, beating out 10 of the 32 teams that qualified for the NAIA National Championship Meet.

The Spires first runner to finish was senior Brooks Ballou, who placed 83rd with a time of 25:44.82.

Coach David Dominguez had this to say about Brooks and his last collegiate cross country race for the University of Saint Mary: “You could not ask for a better teammate and a harder working athlete. Brooks is one of those special athletes that you are always sad to see graduate. I look forward to seeing the success he will have during the 2014 outdoor track season.”

The Spires had several other outstanding performances on Saturday. The second runner to come in was junior Garret Colglazier, who was 106th with a time of 25:56.98. The third USM runner was Junior Josh Whittaker, who placed 167th with a time of 26:25.94. The Spires' 4th runner -- who had an outstanding day even after being sick for several weeks -- was Aaron Potter, who placed 177th and posted a personal best time of 26:30.78. The Spires fifth runner in was Jacob Sherman, who placed 238th with a personal course best time of 27:12.8. To round out the Saint Mary seven, Russell Brown placed 263rd with a time of 27:33.90, and Ricardo Cortez placed 291st with a time of 28:17.74.

The lone USM Women's Cross Country runner racing at the national championship event was Ana Gamboa. Ana is the first female National Qualifier in USM history. Ana placed 104th out of 321 runners with a time of 19:13.31.

Head Coach Dominguez said “Ana ran a great race; she came out here and gave it her all. She represented the University of Saint Mary very well.”

The next race for the University of Saint Mary distance runners will be 2013 NAIA Qualifier Half Marathon held in Winfield, KS on Dec 6th.

As part of the NYC DOT’s Urban Art Program’s Asphalt Art Activation initiative, NY Cares and the DOT Bike Share Program present “Lovely to See You” by Brooklyn-based artist Emily Caisip at the Franklin Street Bike Share station. On the first day of the two day installation, the DOT Bike Share staff primed the site with a vibrant blue color. On the second day, NY Cares volunteers assisted in the implementation of the colorful red leaf design. The leaf pattern was inspired by leaves that are strewn about on many of our New York City streets. The placement of the leaves was spontaneous, while creating a sense of order and pattern at the same time. This project was the first for the Asphalt Art Activation initiative, which activates asphalt with murals around bike share stations throughout the city.

Washington University-Fudan University EMBA Class 10 Opening Ceremony & Program 10 Year Anniversary by Emma Wilson

NEW YORK, May 24, 2011 / -- 2011 May 23rd, the Washington University-Fudan University Executive MBA Program welcomed its 10th class of students and officially launched a year-long celebration of its 10th Year at an Opening Ceremony held in Yuan Tianfan Hall, Guanghua Building, Fudan University.

Washington University-Fudan University Executive MBA Program, a joint educational venture between the School of Management, Fudan University and the Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis, focuses on training China’s best international managers for global leadership positions. Both JV partners have long been leaders in the field of management education and are well established in the international Executive MBA market. In 2010, the Wall Street Journal ranked the Olin Business School’s US-based Executive MBA program 2nd in the world, and the Financial Times of London has ranked its JV program with the School of Management, Fudan University the top program in mainland China for the last 5 years.

The opening ceremony was hosted by Professor Patrick Moreton, Olin’s Shanghai-based Associate Dean and Managing Director of the program. Professor Zhiwen Yin, Associate Dean of School of Management, Fudan University welcomed the new students and shared his aspirations for them “The experience of studying here will become a great milestone in your life. We hope you achieve great things in the future, and we are indeed proud of you all! Congratulations!"

Prof. James T. Little, the academic director of the program from the Olin Business School also expressed his congratulations and highlighted the value of the program’s approach to training in the current era: “We all work in a changing and challenging era with accelerated globalization and rapid technology development. To be competitive in this environment requires a deep understanding of the fundamentals of your business and the ability to develop local solutions using the best ideas available globally. Our program, which brings our world-class faculty to China and gives you a hands-on development experience here in Shanghai, provides you with a learning experience unlike any other in the world.”

Speaking on behalf of the faculty from both schools, Professor WANG Xiaozu of Fudan University, echoed professor Little’s comments: "This program provides you a unique opportunity to share best practices and learn the latest management concepts from faculty who are using the most effective training and development techniques available in China today. It’s a lot of work, but the return on your investment is remarkable.”

According to incoming Class 10 student speaker, Michelle Lu, the Asia Pacific R&D Director of Johnson & Johnson beauty care products, "We made the right choice choosing this program. We will improve ourselves and develop our leadership skills; we will make friends and meet mentors and partners; and most importantly we will help change our businesses. I am excited to be a member of Class 10. It is my dream and honor to study at Fudan University and join mainland China's best Executive MBA program."

Michelle and her fellow Class 10 students officially became members of the Washington University-Fudan University Executive MBA program when Class 9 student Maggie Qi, HR Head for Axa-Minmetals Insurance, passed the program’s flag to Class 10 student Meng Hing Chua, Finance Director for ITT (China) Investment Company, symbolizing the transfer of the program’s professional and performance-oriented culture from one generation to next.

After nine years, the program now has almost 550 students and alumni, the majority of who hold senior leadership positions in the leading global companies operating in China. The deans of the two schools and representatives from all nine classes closed Class 10’s opening ceremony with a video greeting expressing their pride in the program and what it means to be a member of the program family.

Parents, children get financial tips at Kaiserslautern seminar

By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern

KAISERSLAUTERN, Germany – On a recent Wednesday after work, in the basement of the U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern chapel on Daenner Kaserne, Master Sgt. Michael McCabe joined dozens of people to learn steps to manage money.

From a wall-mounted flat-screen television, Dave Ramsey, a faith-based financial expert and motivational speaker, shares ideas on how to dump debt – one lesson of his 12-week Financial Peace University, a DVD course geared toward military families. The lesson began with a potluck supper and ended with attendees making a physical commitment – snipping their credit cards into shreds.

One by one, people came forward. Sounds of scissors clipping plastic were heard amid cheers and applause.

“It’s a huge weight lifted,” McCabe said, dropping plastic shards from the card he recently used to buy a new television.

In Kaiserslautern, Ramsey’s program is moderated by Chaplain (Maj.) Everett Franklin, the garrison’s family life chaplain, who’s attended Ramsey’s seminars and believes in the program’s message.

“We recognize in Kaiserslautern there’s a need for people to work on their personal finances. Our mission is to help the families to learn and grow,” Franklin said. “This course teaches you the basics and helps train you to incorporate positive behaviors that will help you get on track financially.”

In late-2011, 15 military families took part. Now, more than 20 families attend. And, there’s a waiting list for future Ramsey courses, Franklin said.

Meanwhile, Soldiers and family members can also access a variety of free financial readiness classes offered through U.S. Army Garrison

Kaiserslautern’s Army Community Service program.

During Military Saves week, which began Feb. 19, ACS held events and seminars to promote financial readiness.

McCabe, a New Jersey native who hopes to retire within a few years, shed most of his debts before coming to Kaiserslautern, where he’s serves with the 266th Financial Management Center – an irony he recognizes with a lighthearted smile.

“I work in finance. It’s funny that I’m here in this class,” McCabe said. “But, I’m trying to better the future for my family.”

With six family members, McCabe has to live off post, where he stretches his housing allowance to cover rent and utilities, he said. They needed a better car, which meant a six-year loan. When his TV broke, he thought credit was the solution.

Already, McCabe paid down some debts and set a plan for the rest. He hopes to remain debt free, retire and open his own business – an animal kennel near a military base. Meanwhile, he’s spreading the word to junior Soldiers. Plus, he shares finance tips from the class with his kids.

“Your kids get to come – they teach the children at their level, so they’re learning at the same time,” McCabe said.

Down the hall, ACS staff use videos, books and games to explain kids about wages, spending and debts, said Denise Fesel, ACS’s financial readiness program manager. Kids use play money at a store and learn how to budget their income.

“We’re training the kids on money, they don’t know because they think they are playing,” Fesel said. “But then they are talking to their parents about money.”

On the drive home, McCabe and his son Caleb, 12, a fifth-grader at Kaiserslautern Elementary School, swap stories about what they learned.

“We’re talking about different savings accounts, how some give you more interest,” Caleb McCabe said. “I think it’s cool to save money and see what happens.”
