Newsmaker: Col. Kenneth Demers

Jun 23, 2009 (The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Age: 50 Residence: Medina, Ohio Family: Wife, Diane; four children, Brenna, 19; Alanna, 18; Jeffrey, 16; Nathan, 9 Occupation: Director of the Department of Veterans Affairs Service Center in Brecksville, Ohio. The center oversees IT and energy acquisition for the agency.



Education: Bachelor's degree in political science, Northeastern University; master's degree in institutional safety and health, University of Wisconsin; master's degree in strategic studies, Army War College Background: After serving in the Marine Corps from 1981 to 1986, Demers served in the Army through 1992, becoming a reservist the following year. From November 2006 through May, he commanded the Army Reserve's 475th Quartermaster Group in Mercer County.

Noteworthy: He recently was named temporary commander of the 316th Expeditionary Sustainment Command in Moon, a two-year-old Army Reserve unit that provides logistics support -- for example, food, fuel, water and ammunition -- to soldiers in theater. When Brig. Gen. Peter Lennon returns from Iraq in September to become commander, Demers will become deputy commander.



Quote: "I feel very fortunate to have this opportunity. Providing logistics support is a very important mission. My goal for the next four months is to ... focus on readiness: making sure all of our readiness measures are where they should be."
