Montgomery J. Granger is a three-time mobilized U.S. Army Reserve Major (Ret.), who was called into his Reserve Center in Uniondale (Long Island), New York, on 9/11, in response to the attacks on the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and Flight 93, which crashed at Shanksville, Pennsylvania. He answered his country's call to duty next in January 2002 for a mission to help run the military detention facility at the U.S. Naval Station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He was called up again just six months after returning from duty at Gitmo, but this time remained stateside at the U.S. Army Reserve Training Center at Fort Dix, New Jersey. After nearly six months at Fort Dix, MAJ Granger returned to civilian life for about a year when he was involuntarily transferred to another Reserve Army unit that was deploying to Iraq in the fall of 2004. Major Granger served 14 months of active duty on his third deployment and served in Baghdad, Abu Ghraib, Camp Bucca, and Ashraf, Iraq, as Medical Service officer for military detention facility operations. He is married and is the father of five children, and lives on Long Island, New York. He is also the author of "Theodore," a personal narrative published in the 2006 Random House wartime anthology "Operation Homecoming: Iraq, Afghanistan and the Home Front in the Words of U.S. Troops and Their Families," where he wrote about his fear and anxiety over having left his family in 2002, and especially two-day-old Theodore, and what reaction there was upon his return. Operation Homecoming was sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, and edited by Andrew Carroll, editor of the New York Times bestselling book, War Letters. Granger was born in Illinois, raised and schooled in Rubidoux, California, and attended undergraduate school at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. He earned a master's degree in curriculum and teaching from Teachers College-Columbia University, where he met his wife. He also attended the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where he earned professional credits to obtain a New York State School District Administrators' license. He is an accomplished coach and teacher of health and physical education, having taught in Alabama, California, New York City, and Long Island, before becoming a director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics. He was most recently Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics, and then District Administrator for Operations for the Comsewogue school district in Port Jefferson Station, N.Y., and is now a Director of Health, Physical Education and Athletics, and Director of Facilities for an Eastern Long Island school district. Granger is the author of many writings and musing as yet unpublished, but hopefully soon to be shared with a waiting world. - http://www.strategicpublishinggroup.com/title/SavingGraceAtGuantanamoBay.html******************************************************************To listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X' Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X' Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewspaper.com ******************************************************************

Good Morning it's Thursday May 27th, and this is The Wenatchee World's podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.    Today --- As the state gets ready to fully reopen Chelan-Douglas Health District Administrator Luke Davies has advice for everyone on new mask guidelines and vaccines. He also has advice for recent graduates of Eastmont High as he was named an Eastmont Foundation Distinguished Alumnus.   Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA.   -   Now our feature story…   The hours at the Town Toyota Center mass vaccination site will change next week as the National Guard soon departs.   Starting June 1st the vaccination site will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Thursday.   Also, two of the four state-led mass vaccination sites in Washington will be shutting down on Friday.   The Wenatchee mass vaccination site has administered over 57,000 COVID-19 vaccines. 1,511 of those were administered last week.   But as the reopening of the economy draws closer officials say we should all still be a little cautious. Chelan-Douglas Health District Administrator Luke Davies said that people need to respect the rules of the room. There's no one size fits all solution for everybody or for masking across the state.   And despite the new masking guidelines for fully vaccinated individuals from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, local health officials are continuing to encourage mask wearing.    Businesses also still reserve the right to enforce masking, regardless of vaccination status.   And further - businesses could choose to verify their customers' vaccination status or implement an honor system that would assume that anyone without a mask is fully vaccinated.   Ultimately, Davies says that the more people that get vaccinated, the better protected the community is.   People who are unvaccinated and are choosing not to wear masks are still taking a significant risk.    He noted that about 90% of the hospitalizations they're seeing are people who are still unvaccinated - the illness is much more severe in that group.   But more and more people are getting vaccinated every day. As of last week about 61% of people 16 and older in the state have gotten at least one dose.   And in Chelan County, which has the fourth-highest vaccination rate in the state, around 63% of people 16 and older have initiated vaccinations. Douglas County is ranked 11th with about 56%. The governor announced earlier this month that the state would fully reopen on June 30 but it could be sooner. It depends if the state's first-dose vaccine coverage reached 70% of the eligible population before then.   Davies says that by the second week of June, we should know whether or not we're going to be opening up early or not.   It's been an unexpected year for Davies. He is the youngest person in the state to serve as the Chelan-Douglas Health District administrator. And he accepted the job in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.   Nevertheless his hard work is being recognized. He was recently named the Eastmont Foundation Distinguished Alumnus for 2021.   Davies, is a 2005 Eastmont High School graduate.    To students graduating this year, Davies said he encourages them to see the future in a new way to make the country and the planet a better place.    He told them that the future is unknown - it will take courage to blaze a path for yourself and your peers but that courage pays off. Taking an opportunity to make a change in your life, make a change in other people's lives is a courageous act.   Davis also encouraged all of the graduating seniors this year, having lived through a pandemic, to continue displaying the courage they showed this year in the future.   While at Eastmont, Davies was a member of varsity cross country, track and wrestling. He was also involved in sports medicine and held the office of student president of the Washington Career and Technical Sports Medicine Association.   He went on to Seattle Pacific University where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in science and biology with a minor in chemistry.   Davies then earned his master's in public health in leadership, policy and management from the Department of Global Health at the University of Washington, a career path set in motion during his childhood growing up with migrant workers in North Central Washington.   With 10 years' experience and work across several countries in the Caribbean, South-East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, he's worked to address and reduce disparities in health.    This decade of work includes a variety of local and international programs including community development, disaster management, medical education, health systems strengthening, implementation science, violence against children, gender-based violence, maternal and child health, national health surveys and mass vaccinations.   For more on this story and to view the full bill visit us at wenatcheeworld.com.   --   Before we continue, a special thanks to our friends and sponsors at Confluence Health.

They'll also install LED lights and replace the environmental control systems.   Pratt said that they expect to start work in October. And these updates are all a part of a larger project.   That larger project involves all of the PUD's office buildings in Ephrata and Moses Lake.    The buildings in Moses Lake and Ephrata have also been around a long time and just need overall improvement.   Penny Thomas, communications manager with the Department of Commerce, said the grant application process was very competitive and the PUD's application scored high.   The PUD is one of 15 recipients of grants, totaling around $4 million. They're designed to help public entities and local governments upgrade buildings by installing more energy efficient lighting, heating and cooling systems.   Other major recipients include Kittitas Valley Healthcare and the Port Townsend School District.   To stay up to date on this story visit us at wenatcheeworld.com   Now, some history…   Columbia Station, also known as Wenatchee station, serves both trains and buses? It's a stop on Amtrak's Empire Builder train and operates as our central hub for Link Transit as well as intercity buses.   The station was built on the site of an earlier train depot operated by the great northern railway and at one time used to serve Amtrak's North Coast Hiawatha route which ceased operations in 1979.   If you feel inclined to see America by traveling the way people did in the 1800s, the full journey on the Empire Builder takes about 46 hours and goes 2200 miles from Seattle or Portland to Chicago.   Support the show: https://www.wenatcheeworld.com/site/forms/subscription_services/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When Dr. Katie Novak was a student early in life, she did what was required by her teachers, handing in her work on time and following rules and expectations set by the school, but she never genuinely developed a deep love of learning. She didn't feel that she really had what it took to be a great student, but all that changed when a teacher that she had truly believed in her capabilities and pushed for Katie to be moved into advanced classes in high school. This genuinely changed the trajectory Katie's life and she learned to believe in herself and she began to develop the habits and skills needed to thrive academically. This led Katie on a path that would have her eventually become a teacher herself wanting to reach all of her students and help them to find success in their own unique ways. Katie would journey into educational leadership and ultimately become the Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Massachusetts. She would go on to earn a doctorate in curriculum and teaching, and publish 8 books. She now designs and presents workshops both nationally and internationally focusing on the implementation of inclusive practices, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), multi-tiered systems of support, and universally designed leadership. In today's episode you will hear Katie talk about what Universal Design for Learning is and how it can be implemented successfully in schools. She shares many examples of what UDL looks like and what educational leaders need to think about when considering this framework and how it might be embedded within their school in authentic ways. Hope you find some valuable takeaways from this discussion with Katie. About Katie: Katie Novak, Ed.D., is an internationally renowned education consultant, author, professor at UPenn, and a former Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Massachusetts. Dr. Novak is the author of the best-selling book, UDL Now! A Teacher's Guide to Applying Universal Design for Learning in Today's Classrooms.
