Dillon said. “Soldiers look at their leaders and see, what is that guy doing, how can I be like that guy. If you’re the kind of guy that says, ‘do what I say, not what I do,’ then you’re not going to be effec- tive. I’ve always tried my best to lead from the front, to try to show Soldiers what right looks like.” Determined is a word many can use to describe him as well. Lt. Col. Louis Lartigue, commander, 2nd Sqdn., 9th Cav. Reg., said he is happy to have an officer of Dillon’s caliber in his arsenal. “He’s multi-purpose, multi-capable and really provides a benefit across not only his own particu- lar sphere of influence, but everything he can affect just through example,” he said. “I’m proud of him that he won it. I’m glad the Army has a program like that to identify those guys and continue to reward excellence and identify potential.” The award is named in honor of MacArthur, who commanded U.S. forces during World War II and United Nations troops in the Korean War.

by Pfc. Joann Kleinsmith Mountaineer staff Adultery. It’s more hurtful than many people think. There is more to adultery than fulfilling one’s needs and desires. Infidelity can bring mistrust, loss and severe depression in a marriage. Adultery is one of many breaking forces in a marriage and although there are many precursors that lead to it, it breaks the vows to remain faithful in a marriage. People dealing with a marriage on the rocks because of adul- tery can get help through the chaplains on post. They conduct marriage and premarital counseling as well as a class called “How to Avoid Marrying a Jerk,” said Chap. (Maj.) James Bixler, the family life chaplain. These programs are available to Soldiers and families to prevent, resolve or eradicate problems of infidelity, said Bixler. As a chaplain who’s counseled many married couples, Chap. (Capt.) Noel Johnson, rear detachment chaplain, U.S. Army Garrison, explains, “We live in a society that teaches us two really bad things — people are constantly seeing it on TV, they’re reading in books, seeing it in movies, reading it in magazines and being told over and over again that you deserve to be happy — you should strive after happiness. To feel happy is not a goal, being happy is the consequence of living well. So that’s a big mistake we have in our society. When you get your relationships right, have good ministry in the service of your job, when your spiritual life is right and when you’re living well, you will be happy. “The second twin we fight for in our society is that we are con- stantly being informed that we need that ‘dream boat’ person in our lives to be happy. That person has to be handsome or beautiful, rich or glamorous or have a fancy dress and look sophisticated. They (people) have this false idea of what they need to make them happy. So (these) people are searching after happiness and they’re searching after a per- son that makes them happy. This creates emptiness in their lives, and they’re trying to fill it with adultery.” As Johnson has dealt with counseling many married couples, she explains that in a marriage it is crucial to understand that “you have to Another reason Soldiers should avoid adultery is put off desires, so that you have good things later on in life.” because it can be considered a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Bixler pointed out other things that have led to adultery, according to Justice, which can possibly cause a Soldier to lose his or her rank, among some of the married couples he has counseled. other punishments. “Some people have grown up with unstable and chaotic family back- Under the UCMJ, Article 134, General Article, “...

We have conflicts in every marriage. ‘Safe’ relationships not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall learn how to resolve those conflicts. ‘Unsafe’ relationships tend to lead to be taken cognizance of by a general, special or summary court-martial, infidelity,” he said. “If married couples understand the basic fundamen- according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished tals of marriage emotionally, mentally and physically, it would create a at the discretion of that court. safe level of stability in the marriage.” Also, Section IV, Paragraph 62. Article 134 (Adultery), “... b. Ele- ments.

They (adulterers) think ‘I don’t want to lose you (spouse).’” Not all couples dealing with adultery end up in divorce. Some couples try to resolve their issues by restoring trust in a marriage that was once full of infidelity. Janis Abrahms Spring, the author of “After the Affair,” wrote about ways to restore a broken marriage. She said, “Be sure to address all aspects of your relationship — communication, free time, finances, sex, the chil- dren and other family members, personal habits, and so on.” Spring mentioned making a “trust-enhancing chart,” which is a list of “trust-enhancing behaviors” wanted from spouses. This practice could help spouses avoid adulterous behavior in a marriage. Adultery is a practice that helps no one and has the potential to hurt many, but often it seems to happen in military lifestyles. Yet, there are many ways to get assistance in making a strong marriage. Anyone interest- ed in marriage counseling can contact the family life chaplain at 526-6917.

How about the Turbo Buggy, or the wooden coaster, Twister II? Open in summer, the water park is included in the admission price. A popular family ride is Shipwreck Falls, in which riders go up a 280- foot incline then plunge over a 50-foot waterfall into a tidal wave. There’s Castaway Creek, Commotion Ocean wave pool, Hook’s Lagoon, a five-story treehouse with water gadgets, a giant barrel of water and lagoon playgrounds.

To avoid renting the tubes more than once, visitors might want to try the coasters and thrill rides first, visiting the waterpark during the heat of the day. StarToon Studios, a playland in a cartoon- studio type setting, appeals to younger children. There are lots of rides for children under 48-inches tall as well as cartoon characters walking around, such as Daffy Duck, Bugs Bunny and the Tasmanian Devil, and other DC Comics characters. Batman battles his arch enemies, The Riddler and Two-Face, in a 20-minute show of high speed chases, explosions and stunts. The Trocadero Theatre is the site for musical reviews and shows.
