Post wins safety awards
TRADOC Mission Safety Office
The Fires Center of Excellence and Fort
Sill swept all three organizational categories
as Training
and
Doctrine
Command’s (TRADOC) nominations to
compete for the 2015 Department of the
Army (DA) Chief of Staff Exceptional
Organization Safety awards.
TRADOC nominated the FCoE for the division-level award; the 30th Air Defense
Artillery Brigade for the brigade-level award;
and 1st Battalion, 78th Field Artillery for the
battalion-level award.The award recognizes a
unit as having the most effective overall safety program in its category.
It was the fifth consecutive year TRADOC
nominated the FCoE, and the fourth successive year it nominated the 30th ADA Brigade
to compete at the DA level. The nominations
are a validation of Fort Sill’s safety programs,
said the head FCoE safety official.
“The nomination speaks for itself,” said
John Cordes, FCoE Safety director. “If
TRADOC selects the FCoE out of all of their
centers of excellence, then we must be doing
something right.”
Four other Fort Sill units who submitted for
the award will receive a TRADOC Certificate
of Achievement in Safety, even if not going up
to the DA level. They were 1st Battalion, 40th
Field Artillery, which won the DA-level award
in 2014; 3rd Battalion, 6th Air Defense
Artillery; 95th Adjutant General Battalion
(Reception); and the Fort Sill Noncommissioned Officer Academy.
Submitting units had to provide documented safety data including:
n Accident statistics and experiences;
n Methods used to effect or sustain accident reduction, i.e., safety training or new initiatives;
n Major safety accomplishments;
n Safety objectives for the future;
n Civilian injury and illness reduction program;
n Worker’s compensation costs;
n Percentage of commanders who have
completed the Commander’s Safety Course;
n Seatbelt usage rates;
n Strategies, controls or policies that contributed to mission and operational success;
n Description of total command involvement and support of safety programs; and
n Description of initiatives that are not
required, but will enhance the command
safety program, such as purchase of
ergonomic equipment or work stations, and
partnering with the community or other government activities.
Capt. Carrie-Ann Carrier, 1-78th FA safety
officer, said the recognition of her battalion’s
efforts was “awesome. I love it.”
She attributed the battalion’s success to
teamwork because with all the advanced
individual training units there are many moving pieces in the battalion. “We’re making
sure that everybody is safe on all days.”
Carrier said the battalion took a hard look
at its standard operating procedures to minimize safety risks, and it completely
revamped its safety awards program.
She said she was particularly proud that
the battalion’s three batteries and Ordnance
Training Detachment qualified for the Army
safety streamer, and the Commanding
General’s Safety Award for Excellence. To
qualify, batteries had to meet numerous and
stringent criteria, including seat belt usage,
driver’s training, alcohol and drug awareness, safety stand-down days, motorcycle
mentorship, etc.
The captain said she has received tremendous support from Lt. Col. Michael Anders, 178th FA commander.
“Anytime that we’re bringing up ideas for
commanders, we provide the reasoning, outcomes and risk managment about how it is
going to make the units better,” Carrier said.
“We get full (command) support.”
FCoE and Fort Sill Commanding General
Maj. Gen. John Rossi’s No. 1 priority is safety
and security of personnel, Cordes said. And,
safety is correlated to operational readiness
— the Army’s No. 1 priority.
Cordes cited examples of the relationship
between safety and readiness.
If three Soldiers get into a car accident and
suffer major injuries, they can’t train, are
nondeployable and other Soldiers will have

Story, photos
By Jeff Crawley
Sgt. 1st Class Arthur Bruton,
Oklahoma City Military Entrance
Processing Station guidance counselor, is set to retire in June with
almost 21 years of service.
He wants to stay in OKC and
find work there, possibly with a
federal agency.
He’s looking at the job market
and taking advantage of opportunities as he transitions into the
civilian sector.
Bruton was one of 20 Soldiers,
family members and veterans who
attended the first Hazardous Waste
Worker Training here Feb. 22 to
March 4, at Truman Education
Center. The training was free.
“The HAZWOPER (hazardous
waste operations and emergency
response) program is pretty marketable and it’s something I can
add to my resumé,” said Bruton,
who commuted daily from OKC to
attend. “It was something that I
could do now, get certified and it
was free ninety-nine.”
The training was provided by faculty from Barton Community College’s
Grandview Plaza, Kan., campus,
which specializes in Occupational
James Henderson, Barton college
Fort Riley adjunct faculty, taught the
OSHA industry safety and hazardous materials courses with classroom and practical exercises. He
said he wanted his students to gain
confidence from the training.
“The knowledge piece is actually
pretty easy. There’s a reference
they can read for everything they
do,” he said. “But to believe they
can actually do it — that’s what I
want them to learn.”

was offered through the nonprofit
National
Partnership
for
EnvironmentalTechnology Education
(PETE), which received a five-year
grant from the National Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences, said
Bill Nash, Barton college’s Fort Riley
(Kan.) dean of technical and military
outreach. PETE contracted Barton to
provide the training.
The 80-hour program provided
students with three certifications,
Nash said.The first was the nationally recognized OSHA 10-hour
card for industry general safety.
The second was the OSHA 2015
Hazardous Materials certification,
which covered handling and storage of hazardous materials in the
workplace and regulations concerning their use.This certification
can only be offered by an OSHA
education center. Barton is one of
42 such centers in the United
States.The third, the 40-hour HAZWOPER class, an OSHA requirement for people to work with hazardous chemicals or at a waste disposal site.

to 2nd Lt. Maurice Alvarez’s
enjoyment playing hockey.
“I like the fast pace of hockey,” he said. “It keeps me
involved and in shape.”
However, all is not lost for the

up a new sport and now swings
golf clubs. He said he played

but it wasn’t
until he was
older
when
friends invited
him to play
that he adopted the game
for himself.
“The swing
is similar between hockey and
golf. They have the same swing
structure,” he said. “It’s relaxing, a good outlet for stress and
it’s especially nice if you get to
play on a good course. They
have great views.”

The training culminated with
a hazardous-materials exercise
March 4, near the education center. Students filled various roles,
which they had learned during the
two-week training.
Arriving on a waste scene, students David Meyer and Miguel
Abisaab wearing encapsulating
suits surveyed the site. One of
them held a monitor to detect
hazards. They gingerly removed
rubbish, which in itself was a hazard. Conferring with the incident
commander by radio, a plan was
implemented to move the waste
materials.

manned a decontamination
station, and others served as
safety and security officials,
as well as a press officer —
all roles they might fill at a
real-world incident.
“We want them to learn to
work as a team member, so
that everyone is contributing,”Nash said.
Afterward, an after-action
review was held in the classroom. Barton instructor
Lawrence Webber went over
what went well, and what
could have been done better.
Overall, he described the
students’ performance in the
exercise as outstanding.
Nash said the job market
is good for people looking to
work in safety, hazardous
waste and in environmental
fields. He said having the
certifications also makes
one more employable.
The students received five
college credits from completing the training, Nash
said. The free training the
Soldiers received here was
valued between $3,000 to
$5,000 — the cost through a
civilian school, he said.
Barton Community College instructor Lawrence Webber goes through the hazmat exercise
during an after action review with students March 4, at the Truman Education Center. He
said the students' performance was excellent.
Student and family member Lakese Cook said she
took the training as she is
seeking employment in the
field.
“It was really good training and useful information,” she said. “The instructors were patient and very
knowledgeable.”
Student Master Sgt.
David
Chaviera,
Directorate of Training and
Doctrine Operations noncommissioned officer in
charge, who will be retiring
in October, said he has
already recommended the
training to some of his
Soldiers.
Dr. Carl Heilman, Barton
college president, made the
trip from Great Bend, Kan.,
to hand out certificates at
the graduation.
“It’s awesome that you
took the opportunity to better yourselves, to prepare
yourselves, doing the best
job that you can do,”
Heilman said, to the graduates. “I hope that you’re
able to use this and move
forward in your life.”
Michael Dodds, Truman
Education Center education services officer, said
there has been so much
interest in the Hazardous
Waste Worker Training that
the next class scheduled for
May is full.
Given that level of interest, Dodd is working to get
another class this summer.

Gender integration: Reality in today’s Army
Story, photo
By Cindy McIntyre
It’s been a long time coming: Full-scale gender integration is now a reality in
today’s military. Fort Sill is
making sure the integration
is as smooth as possible.
Although
Defense
Secretary Ashton Carter
made it official Jan. 2, opening the last remaining
ground combat roles to
women has been a hot topic
for several years in what is
known as the Soldier 2020
initiative to develop readiness standards.
“The Army felt like we
were doing a disservice to
readiness by looking only at
the male population in certain combat (military occupational specialties) MOSs,”
said
Field
Artillery
Proponent Office Sgt. Maj.
Alexis Shelton. “(Women)
are driving trucks in some of
the most dangerous areas in
the world,” he said of the
types of jobs female Soldiers
are already performing.
“It’s about readiness,” he
emphasized. “It’s making
sure we have the right people, from all genders.”
In anticipation of the elimination of the last barriers to
women, the Army Medical
Command’s Army Research
Institute of Environmental
Medicine (ARIEM) had to
figure how to accommodate
women in an equitable way,
and also how to reduce male
injuries and washouts in
advanced individual training (AIT).
It began a rigorous series
of tests designed to codify
the types of High Physical
Demand Tests necessary to
be successful in a combat
specialty such as 13B cannon crewman.
Fort Sill’s subject matter
experts assisted in the study
at Fort Carson, Colo., to “validate the task,” said Shelton.
ARIEM personnel were
also at Fort Sill at the end
of February working with
Soldiers in basic combat
training to help design the
Occupational
Physical
Assessment Test (OPAT)
for potential recruits to
determine what MOS they
can and can’t be trained
in.
Shelton said some males
are suffering injuries during
training, or can’t meet the
standards. “That gets back to
readiness,”he said.
Before enlisting, recruits
are given the Armed
Services Vocational Aptitude
Battery to measure cognitive
or mental abilities, and must
meet medical standards.
However, there is no meaningful physical test that will
help a potential Soldier be
successful.
The OPAT would be the
physical determinant of

and do not involve high physical demands.
An AIT Soldier with C
Battery, 1st Battalion, 78th
Field Artillery, became the
first female in the 13B MOS.
Perhaps the hardest test was
being able to move a total of
3,000 pounds of ammunition
in 15 minutes, an action
expected of a cannon
crewmember in combat.
Pfc. Katherine Beatty of
Inverness, Fla., had the
advantage of being a powerlifter with her Army infantryman husband, Charles,
before enlisting. Beatty is a
mother of a 2-year-old, and
her success should lay to rest
any doubts that women are
capable of being part of a
ground combat team. The
next group of women scheduled for 13B training is due
next month at Fort Sill. (See
article ,Page 6A).
Despite the standardization of HPDT and OPAT,
there are still differences in
the way men and women are
scored on physical tests in
basic
combat
training.
“There’s a male and a female
scale,” said Shelton. Forty situps will earn a male a lower
score than it does for a
female, he said.
In addition to the physical
requirements, the Army’s
Training
and
Doctrine
Command requires “safe and
secure”housing for women.

3rd Battalion, 6th Air Defense Artillery,
Sgt. 1st Class Armando Madrigal, an
instructor/writer in B Battery, 3-6th
ADA and SHARP victim advocate, created a training session during which
attendees participated in both conversation and served as actors in skits.
They were required to create their own
conversations and perform a possible
action to prevent a potential harassment or assault
“A situation where you’re reading
slides and telling stories is one thing,
but when you’re put on the spot where
you’re in a situation where you have to
react it makes you think,”said Madrigal.
“It’s like any type of hands-on training. I
think it sticks better and shows this is
what was done right and this is where I
could improve.”
Two weeks later, 1st Lt. Alex Kilgore,
the battalion personnel officer for 2nd
Battalion, 6th ADA and SHARP victim
advocate, created an event for 200 cadre
and AIT Soldiers to participate in
SHARP training.
“What we’re doing is a combination of
classroom discussion, which still gives
them all the information that needs to
get out; then they’re also going through
the scenario-based training,” said
Kilgore. “They’ll see a scenario ranging
from a bar scene to an inappropriate
relationship, covering the full gamut of
situations you may run into as a Soldier.
It also shows how to intervene in these
situations, what to do, who to report to,
what your options are, so they see realworld applications from the program.”
Both events were, in part, orchestrated by Adrienne Finn, 30th ADA
Brigade SHARP victim advocate and
sexual assault response coordinator.
For months prior, she organized the
itinerary and had the classes approved
through the Army’s Training and
Doctrine Command so the training

would satisfy the training support package requirements. Finn said SHARP
training occurs within the brigade once a
month and the interactive scenarios are
performed once a quarter to accommodate conflicting schedules as well as to
reach as many AIT Soldiers as possible.
Kilgore said the training for the cadre
focused more on leadership responsibilities such as how to deal with situations
as leaders whereas AIT students focused
more on what the program is and how it
applies to them individually.
“(Finn) got some more innovated training that makes it more interactive and
allows the students to ask the questions
they may not have felt comfortable asking if they were just getting lectured,”
said Kilgore.
Madrigal, who is a father of three
daughters, said his oldest, who is 20
years old, is considering joining the military.
He said he has fears common to those
who have a child contemplating joining
the armed forces, but that he wants to
use his role as a SHARP victim advocate
to eliminate any concerns he may have
about his daughter’s well being while
facing domestic threats.
“I would like for things to not get to a
point where she is in a situation where
no one is around to help,” he said.“So my
intent in training is to help people look
for those signs and help prevent any
SHARP harassment from happening.”
“It is important to have this training
because it is a fundamental part of who
we are as an Army,” said Kilgore.“It’s the
basic fundamentals of the Army values.
If you have the Army values you can’t
commit a SHARP violation because
they’re mutually exclusive.”
“It’s not a program we are adhering to,”
said Kilgore.“It’s who we are.”

The transition following
initial entry training (IET)
into a Forces Command
(FORSCOM) unit can be an
adjustment
for
most
Soldiers.
B Battery, 2nd Battalion,
18th Field Artillery noncommissioned officers visited
the training side of Fort Sill
recently to lead physical
readiness training (PRT) for
the Soldiers of F Battery, 1st
Battalion,
40th
Field
Artillery.
Staff Sgt. Devin Green, a
B/2-18th FA platoon sergeant, and Sgt. John Hartley,
a Multiple Launch Rocket
System section chief, participated in the basic training
PRT session and afterward
spoke with the Soldiers
about what would be expected of them following
advanced individual training graduation.
Hartley began by emphasizing the importance of
leadership. He explained the
process of becoming a
leader to the young Soldiers.
“You have to start with
yourself. IET is where you
hone that skill to take
responsibility for yourself,”
he said.
He went on to speak on
the values of discipline and
order the Soldiers learned in
IET that will set them up for
their future in a FORSCOM
unit.

respect, selfless service,
honor, integrity and personal courage.
Green, a former drill sergeant, has plenty of experience working with trainees.
Following up Hartley’s
message to the new Soldiers,
Green offered words of
encouragement
to
the
Soldiers understanding the
difficulty of IET.
He also touched on the
importance of leadership,
but focused more on what
will be expected of the
Soldiers once they enter a
FORSCOM unit.
Green spoke about the
basic tasks such as being in
the right place at the right
time, while acknowledging
that is only half of the battle.

true if three Humvees were destroyed in an
accident, then equipment readiness would
be affected.

unit,” he said.
At the conclusion of PRT,
Capt. Garrett Bailey, F
Battery, 2-18th FA commander, met with Green and
Hartley to thank them for
acquainting his new Soldiers
with Army life.
“This partnership demonstrated the importance of
professional development to
these young Soldiers,” said
Bailey. “Having leaders from
a FORSCOM unit come and
explain to Soldiers what will
be expected of them right
after their initial entry training is an important process
in setting them up for future
success.”
Bailey added he intends
to continue the partnership
with the 75th Field Artillery
Brigade and invite NCOs
for each class cycle.
Every April,TRADOC safety officials visit
Fort Sill for a weeklong survey.
Before the survey, Cordes, along with his
staff, perform a preassessment survey,
which looks over literally hundreds of safety items across the installation.

Hiring event March 24
Classes help find, secure private, public sector careers
With only two weeks until the Soldier for
Life hiring event, March 24, the Soldier for
Life Transition Assistance Program has
scheduled multiple classes to give attendees
the best chance at securing a job at the hiring event. The next class is the Resumé
Writing Workshop, March 17, which will be
offered twice from 9-11 a.m. and again from
noon to 2 p.m. at the Welcome Center (Bldg.
4700) in room 314.
“You have to prepare yourself to get
employment,” said Jane Cunningham, transition services manager. “If you don’t prepare you won’t be at the top of your game.”
The resumé writing class is designed to
help those who have a particular industry or
job in mind. A list of 85 companies and 30
universities attending the hiring event has
been posted on the Fort Sill Soldier for Life
Transition Assistance Program Facebook
page. Cunningham encourages those who are
interested in attending the event to research
the businesses attending and the jobs available. With that knowledge, the resumé class
will help tailor the resume to fit a more specific job.
“We’re specifically targeting a job that they
have identified, this is not a generic resumé,”
said Cunningham.
Beginning with last month’s VETRACON
2016, Soldiers along with family members,

veterans and retirees, have been invited to
participate in a series of classes to help give
them the skills needed when searching for
and acquiring a job. Cunningham said the
VETRACON event was the“ready”phase during which Soldiers were motivated to see
what they were able to accomplish after the
military. Now Jane says Soldiers are in the
“prepare” phase where they fine tune their
resumes, their interview skills and research
the companies attending.
The next phase is the “connect” phase
where Soldiers meet with prospective businesses in hopes of securing a new career.
The event will feature companies all of
which, Cunningham says, have a position
they are actively seeking to fill. Business representatives will be able to interview candidates on the spot and in some cases, offer a
job.
While the classes to prepare for the hiring
event are free, Cunningham encourages
attendees to register so they know how many
people to prepare for and have enough counselors to help. The event is targeted toward
transitioning Soldiers, however, it is open to
veterans, retirees, spouses and children of
working age, said Cunningham. For more
information and to register call 580-442-2222.

Gender
From Page 3A
Capt. Justin Lopez, C Battery, 1st Battalion, 78th Field
Artillery commander, which is the AIT unit for 13B, said
the goal is to have females housed in the same building
as the rest of their team. One wing of that barracks is
being remodeled to accommodate them. TRADOC
requires that female housing has fire safe doors that
lock from the inside, as well as closed circuit TV cameras
in hallways and common areas.
“With fire safe doors, if an incident were to occur and
they felt unsafe, they could hit a button and these doors
would lock and no one could get in,” said Lopez.
When Beatty arrived as an AIT trainee a few months
earlier than the expected first group of 13B women, she
was housed in a separate barracks with other females.
However, the rest of her training was exactly the same
as that of the men.
“I keep going back to readiness,” said Shelton.
“Because that’s what it’s about.”

“Fees do apply and are based on income,”
said Robinson.You can find out more about
the fees when you register at ChildYouth and
School Services. It does not cost anything to
use the Youth Center. The fees are only for
special events.
She added volunteer chaperones are needed for the field trips.
The Youth Center staff also has lock-ins
where they go to midnight movies at the
Patriot Cinema, or play games at the Youth
Center.
Patrons of the center will find a variety of
activities to cure boredom, such as a photography club, art club, homework lab, teen
lounge equipped with TVs and game consoles, indoor basketball court, rock climbing
wall and a scaled down professional recording studio.
The cooking club has monthly classes in
the fully stocked kitchen. Registered members can use it, with supervision.
This summer the center will host a robotics
lab for kids in grades 6-12.
Robinson pointed out a fully functional
six-foot tall Ferris wheel assembled entirely
by children using only K’NEX parts.
“We have some very talented kids that can
do what-ever they want to in life” she said.
“This Ferris wheel is a shining example.”
The Youth Summertime Expo at the Youth
Center is March 22 from 4-7 p.m.
“There will be approximately 40 vendors
setting up booths providing handouts and
information to the kids,”Robinson said.

ARMY’S FIRST FEMALE 13B CANNONEER
A Mighty Soldier
Story, photos
By Cindy McIntyre
Pfc. Katherine Beatty gives helpful hints to her teammate holding four excess gunpowder bags that weren’t needed for the three-increment charge during live-fire training on the
M119A3 howitzer, March 1. Beatty is the Army’s first 13B cannon crewmember to graduate from advanced individual training, taught in 1st Battalion, 78th Field Artillery. More women
are already scheduled to follow Beatty in 13B training, one of the last remaining ground combat military occupational specialties opened to women Jan. 2.
Army’s first woman cannoneer finishes top of class
Sometimes a person is
just in the right place at the
right time.
And so it was for Pfc.
Katherine Beatty when she
learned her chosen military
occupational
specialty
(MOS) in signal intelligence
wasn’t going to work out.
Then came an offer too good
to pass up.
Why not be the Army’s
first female cannoneer?
“They said I could pick a
different MOS,” she said of
her nine-week holdover
after basic combat training.
The combat specialty of 13B
cannon crewmember was
on the list. “They said there
was a lot of heavy lifting,
and it’s a pretty high speed
job, and I would be the first
female. I was pretty excited
about it. I called my husband
(in Inverness, Fla.) He’s
infantry and works side by
side with 13 Bravos. He told
me what to expect and I just
went for it.”
Not only did she pass, she
excelled, earning the title of
distinguished honor graduate for Class No. 12-16. She
was assistant platoon guide
(APG) and helped teach her trained with my husband,
peers. She also earned the Charles (before enlisting),”
top scores in several exams she said of her ability to pass
and passed her Go/No go the test. She also went to the

her battle buddies, said ini“I did power lifting and tially he wasn’t sure how
things were going to work out
with a female in a combat
MOS.
“At first I was like, ‘oh, this
is going to be interesting,’”he
said. “But then the sergeant
talked to us and said anybody
in Army green, we have to
treat them with respect. She
really surprises me with all
the physical stuff she can do.
She’s been treated just like
everybody else. She’s a great
Soldier.”
Her other battle buddy,
Pvt. Jesse Hurtado, agreed.
He said having a female in
his 13B class was “awesome.”
“She worked a lot harder
than the males did at some
point,” he said. “She proved
herself. She made her battle
buddies push harder because
she was there pushing with
them. She’s an inspiration,
seeing her going through
what we’re doing. We all love
her. She’s an awesome battle
buddy. We all want her to do
great in her career.”
Beatty’s platoon fired three shells apiece to qualify on the
M119A3 howitzer during live-fire training, March 1.
Beatty’s platoon specialized in the 105mm lightweight towed M119A3 howitzer. Even though those
shells weigh around 30
pounds, all 13B Soldiers need
to be able to meet the physical standard with the 155mm
shells used in the M777 and
the Paladin howitzers. They
also need to be able to drag a
casualty in combat, so part of
the HPDT is to drag a 270pound skid 20 meters out and
back.
Although the physical part
of training was grueling,
Beatty said she loved it. She
and her husband have taken
their 2-year-old daughter hiking and lead an active life, she
said. Being the first woman
wasn’t as much as an obstacle as she thought.
“Everyone treats me like a
Soldier, like part of the team,”
she said. “There was a lot of
positivity from my platoon,
the instructors, the NCOs. It’s
been really awesome.”
Week 4 of training was
hands-on dry fire with the
M119A3. March 1, her class
fired on the equipment they
were trained on. Booms from
the M777 and the Paladin
interspersed with shots fired
from Beatty’s team. Finally it
was her turn.
She fired three rounds,
then caught the next gunner’s
smoking cartridge when it
was ejected, and spent time
on the radio and recording
firing data. When the last
round was called, Prater took
out a marker and began writing on the shell. Pens materialized
and
everyone
squeezed in to leave their
message on it. Beatty’s read
“Miss 13B.”
Then she returned to the radio
and called, “last round!” The
excited cannoneers echoed her,
and rushed the round into the
chamber. Prater checked the
round, held up his hand, and
yelled, “stand by,” for the
umpteenth time that day. Then
he dropped his arm and yelled,
“fire!”The round sped off to into
the distant hillside, and everyone
cheered. Then they started tearing down and had a late lunch of
meals, ready to eat.
“Everyone was excited in our
platoon. I can definitely say that
we had a lot of fun today.This is
what we’ve been waiting for,”
said Beatty.
Although she hoped to go to
Airborne School at Fort Benning,
Ga., Beatty has been assigned to
Fort Carson, Colo., following her
graduation March 11.
Although she “jumped the
gun”so to speak in being trained
as a cannoneer, there are more
than a dozen women coming
behind her. Her advice to them:
“Go for it. It’s an awesome job.
You’ve got to be strong, both
physically and mentally, but
there’s definitely a lot of support here.” Editor’s note: See
the video of Beatty’s training
on the Fort Sill Tribune’s
Facebook page.

Pageant on the mount
Story, photos
Beginning of
the end for
Geronimo
By Aubrey Love
As Easter approaches, the Holy City is in full pageant mode as it prepares for the 90th annual performance of “The Prince of Peace.” Someone mentioned it when I first began this column, and I made
a note to see it when Easter came around. I’d been to
the Holy City which sprawls across 66 acres in the
Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge, but wasn’t sure
how a performance was going to work in the setting.
I met Alan Corrales, who has been the director of
the pageant for the past 13 years. He began participating in the play when he was in the third grade
and this year marks his 49th pageant.
As Corrales took charge and began to run his
dress rehearsal I looked around wondering where to
go. Where was the stage? Is this the kind of show
where I physically walk from scene to scene?
Luckily there were shepherds and palace guards
nearby to explain it all to me.
The audience sits on a hill nearby and watches the
show from a distance. Since the performance is at
night, lights illuminate the location where a scene is
taking place and then turn off when the scene is
complete, while in another area the lights turn on
signaling the next scene. A narrator guides the audiences, and characters add dialogue. Microphones
help amplify the sound which is transmitted through
speakers to the audience. It’s quite the production.
It makes sense the audience would sit
on a hill, as the Holy City website
boasts that one year 225,000 visitors
filled “audience hill”for the sunrise performance. With that many people there
wouldn’t be enough seats for everyone
except on a mountainside. The thought
of thousands of people sitting hillside
conjured up images of someone feeding
them all with two fish and five loaves. These days I
bet people just stop by Burger King on their way.
The cast wore costumes designed to appear as
though they were from biblical times. There were
Roman guards on horseback, trumpeters, religious
officials, wise men — all wearing what I would guess
looked like what people would have worn during
that time. Being up close I wasn’t able to see the
whole picture the way those on audience hill, but I
bet the view completely transports you to another
time.
The pageant recruited children as young as newborns to as old as high school-aged as well as groups
of adult men and women. Men seem to be in high
demand as some women played male roles (quite the
contrast from Shakespearean times when men
would play women roles). Volunteers come from all
over Oklahoma to participate in the pageant and
represent a variety of religious faiths. Many of them

Peace” Easter pageant. The show is March 19 and
26 at 8:30 p.m.
performed in the show in years past, but just as
many were participating for the first time.
Wandering between sets I was excited for the
actors, the sound technicians, the backstage hands,
everyone, a part of this production’s long history.
With one more evening rehearsal (and a backup
rehearsal if needed), the show is ready to go.
Costumes will be done, lines memorized, animals
prepped and the Holy City ready to find room for
travelers coming from afar.
It will be neat to see how the show transforms
beneath the Oklahoma stars. It’s even exciting just
writing about it. Perhaps next year I’ll join the group.
I’ll just add that to my bucket list.
Admission is free thanks to the support of donors
and volunteers. The pageant has two performances,
March 19 and March 26, both at 8:30 p.m. As of print
time, the weather is supposed to be nice and dry for
the show (although I might bring a blanket just in
case the ground is still damp). For more information
visit www.theholycitylawton.com/.
Mary and Joseph, played by Shelley Flores and
Jordan Stevenson respectively, chat with shepherds during a dress rehearsal of “The Prince
of Peace” at the Holy City, March 6.
This is the conclusion of
American Indian medicineman
Goyakla, known as Geronimo.
The following summer, several
tribes began pooling their
resources for a revenge attack
on the Mexicans.
According to Goyakla’s autobiography, they camped out near
a small town in Mexico called
Arizpe, in the state of Sonora.
Eight Mexican soldiers rode out
to negotiate with the Apache.
Those men were killed and
scalped by the Apache in an
effort to draw out the Mexican
Army Garrison, and they were
successful.
The next day, two companies
of infantry and two of cavalry
came out to attack the Apache.
Goyakla and three others were
cut off from the main group of
warriors.
Two were shot immediately
and Goyakla and one other fled
back to the other warriors. The
Mexicans soon caught up to
them and killed his companion.
However, he struck down the
assailants with a spear and
knife.
“As he stood over the last one,
that soldier begging for his life
mispronounced Goyakla’s name
calling him Geronimo, and that
name stuck with him for the
remainder of his life” said Mark
Megehee, retired director of
museums on Fort Sill. With this
act, the Apache named Goyakla
as their “Warrior Leader.”For the
next 30 years Goyakla would
lead raids into Mexico.
Captured
As settlers migrated into the
New Mexico Territory, a conflict
erupted when the U.S. troops
attacked an Apache tribe.
The Apache retaliated.
“I took the warpath as a warrior, not as a chief,”Goyakla said.
“I had not been wronged, but
some of my people had been,
and I fought with my tribe.”
This led to more attacks from
both sides, eventually bringing a
bounty on Goyakla’s head. The
reported amounts ranged from
$500 to $2,000. For years Goyakla
evaded capture even slipping
down into Mexico.
Eventually Goyakla and his
tribe returned to the United
States to sign a peace treaty.They
were taken to Fort Pickens, Fla.,
where they stayed for several
years. Because of diseases killing
them off, they were moved back
to Fort Sill, where Goyakla
remained until his death.
Army scout
While at Fort Sill, Goyakla
was given the option of becoming a farmer and was issued a
few pigs and land for a crop.

Bird nerds, birdbrains, brown boobies
Do you slow the car on the freeway
when you see a big bird circling overhead? Do you pull over on a country
road and chase down a little brown
bird you’ve never seen before? Do you
punctuate walks with a friend by saying,“Oh, I hear a tufted titmouse?”
If so, you might be a birder.
Birders, or bird watchers, are like
anybody with a hobby. Some are casual watchers, some engage in “extreme”
birding, and the majority span the
spectrum.
Don’t think birders are all nerdy Miss
Jane Hathaways (from the old “Beverly
Hillbillies”). Many are men, especially
the competitive watchers who try to
beat the record of number of species
seen in a calendar year. See “The Big
Year” movie for some comedic insight.
Better yet, read the book.
I’ve been a birder since I was 9 years
old, thanks to an older gentleman
across the street who showed me his
collection of bird feathers and duck
calls. He was, unfortunately (in my
childhood mind), a hunter. But he challenged me to learn about birds. It wasn’t long before my nickname in school
was “birdbrain.”It was one I was rather
proud of. I impressed the boys when I
could identify some of the duck species
in a hunter’s guide.
I even had a pet house sparrow.
Pollyanna was taken from her nest by a
boy who didn’t know any better, and I
taught her how to catch fat grasshoppers
See Larking, Page 3B
Don’t get ticked off as weather begins to warm
As the warmth of spring takes hold most of us
just can’t resist enjoying the great outdoors.This
year spring seems to be trying to slip in even a
little bit earlier than usual. Many folks are beginning to spend a lot more time fishing and getting
ready for the upcoming spring turkey season.
So while you are out wandering through the
grass, briars and other vegetation along our
great streams, ponds and other country, I want
you to be aware of a few unwelcome friends
coming home with you.
That’s right, the ticks will soon be out and moving. Warmer weather means it will all start earlier.
This year they should be out in great numbers well
before the opening of turkey season so be sure to
start taking a few precautions for these blood
thirsty little creepy crawlies.
Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted
fever can be spread by ticks in this area and sever-
Wild Side
By GLEN WAMPLER
al cases have been reported over the years. The
best way to keep from catching the disease is to not
get bit by a tick.You can either stay inside at home
(not) or do something to keep from getting bit.
Prevention can be aided by several methods.
Good old insect repellant is, of course, good
and really slows the little buggers down. There
are sprays that can be applied to your clothes
and will continue to ward off ticks even after
several washings.
Sealing off the openings of your clothing so
they can’t get in is another good idea. This can
be done by using duct tape or putting your socks
on the outside of your pants. OK, maybe it looks
dumb, but it works. If you don’t want to look
quite so dumb, there are companies that make
special bands to aid in keeping pests from crawling up your legs.
After leaving the field be sure to search your
body for any ticks that managed to get by your
defenses. Here is where another person can
come in handy by looking in those places you
can’t see such as your back or up in your hair.
Brad Paisley even made a lot of money singing a
song about checking for ticks. Do this soon after
leaving the field since the shorter time the tick is
attached the less time for spreading the disease.
All of these attempts will also be greatly
