The audience members sat tensely on the edge of the bleachers, leaning forward slightly inanticipation, before erupting into cheers as theirloved ones entered the Special Events Center forthe 10th Combat Support Hospital welcome homeceremony, Oct. 25.

The 117 Soldiers’ shoulders lifted and backs

straightened at the cheers of their Families andfriends; the exhaustion from traveling halfwayaround the world and spending a year deployed inAfghanistan temporarily forgotten in the excitement.

Once the Soldiers finished entering the buildingand falling into formation, Maj. Gen. Joseph Anderson,commanding general, 4th Infantry Division and FortCarson, addressed them and their Families.

“Thanks for a job well done on behalf of all ofus here at Fort Carson,” said Anderson. “We arevery proud of you.”

Once Anderson finished speaking, Soldiersjoined the audience in singing the 4th Inf. Div. andArmy songs, before being released to reunite withtheir Families.

The Soldiers sprang out of formation and Familiesrushed out of the bleachers to merge into a largemilling throng of hugging, holding, crying and kissing.

Commentary by Sgt. Brian J. HertensteinWarrior Leader Course graduate

The Warrior Ethos is not a code of honor to whichSoldiers must comply, but a reflection of the beliefs, customs and practices inherent to the honorable warrior culture that has been established through the actions of those before us.

It is the disposition of a group united in purpose anddirection — a verbal summation of the mindset typical of each individual in a fighting force. Within the words of

the Warrior Ethos lie the virtue of the warrior, epitomizing the spirit of the “Soldier” and providing, in four lines, the essence of the unique experience.

Keeping this in mind, one must understand the warrior culture to truly understand the meaning captured within thesefour statements. Heavily dependent on the “team” concept,warrior cultures are by default equally merit-based and guilt-based. Traditionally, the implications of failure to yourself, your team or your mission could be beyond severe.

Ethos: Universal concepts define warriors

Veterans Day

By Maj. Gen. Joseph AndersonCommanding general, 4th Infantry Division

and Fort Carson

The Veterans Day national holiday originated in 1926 as “Armistice Day” and was later changed to Veterans Day in 1954. The holiday was created to allow a gratefulnation to pay appropriate homage to all veterans who havedefended America through the best and worst of times.

This year Veterans Day will be an appropriate occasion to again pay tribute to all those who have honorably worn theuniform of this great nation as well as to honor the sacrificesbeing made by servicemembers today. I want each of you toenjoy this time; however, we owe it to the nation, our fellowSoldiers and our Families to remain safe over this holiday.

Most of our team will face varying degrees of hazardsthis holiday, from long travel distances to motorcycle operations to private vehicle operations to weapons handling and other activities. Leaders and Soldiers must beaware of these hazards and know how to address them inorder to eliminate risk. In an effort to prevent accidents and fatalities over this holiday, all military personnel will complete the following with assistance from their leadership — these are not “check the block” actions:¶ Receive an end of duty day safety briefing from unit

commanders and first sergeants prior to being releasedfor the weekend. This will include privately-owned vehicle and motorcycle safety, boating and water safety,alcohol and driving under the influence prevention, travel safety, weapons safety, off-limits establishmentsand other off-duty safety issues as appropriate.Additionally, winter driving hazards such as black iceand vehicle survivor packs, Fort Carson road conditionsand delayed reporting procedures will be discussed.

¶ Complete the TRiPS travel risk planning system prior

to any travel beyond 150 miles. This risk assessment is available at https://safety.army.mil.

¶Conduct POV/motorcyclesafety inspections. Thisinspection will be conductedby our first-line leadershipon this installation.

¶ Update battle buddy rosters and review battlebuddy responsibilities with each Soldier.

¶ Conduct and revalidate therequirements/counseling on theInstallation Motorcycle Policy.

Alcohol and drug abuse continues to be a challenge acrossour formations and must continue to be addressed. The abuseof alcohol and other substances have been a factor in themajority of our recent serious incidents. The use of these substances impairs judgment and often leads to career-endingevents or criminal charges. We have agencies that provideassistance to our Soldiers and their Families who are strugglingwith alcohol and drug issues. Units need to ensure thatSoldiers are aware of these tools and have access to them.

I am extremely proud of all our Soldiers and humbledto serve with this nation’s great men and women. We shoulduse this day to remember and honor the great sacrifices ofthe countless veterans who have defended our freedomthrough the years. No matter where we are in the world, we follow in their footsteps by carrying freedom’s torch and upholding America’s values. Beth and I wish you andyour Families a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend. Keep safety in mind and please take the appropriate safetyprecautions, regardless of your weekend activities.

Gate 19 reopens to trafficBy Susan C. Galentine

Directorate of Public Works public relations

Soldiers and staff at Butts ArmyAirfield and the Wilderness Roadcomplex will have easier access to workafter the opening of Gate 19 Nov. 14.

Located off of Interstate 25, theopening will reduce the travel time forthose working near the airfield.

“With the development of theButts Airfield Plateau, including the 4thBrigade (Combat Team, 4th Infantry

Division) build out at the airfield andthe arrival of the combat aviationbrigade, the traffic to Butts ArmyAirfield will increase dramatically,”said Joe Wyka, Directorate of PublicWorks Engineering Division chief.“Gate 19 provides a good alternativeto Gate 20 and shifts some trafficaway from the heavily traveledSpecker (Avenue)-Titus (Boulevard)-Butts (Road) corridors.”

The gate, which will be open to allDepartment of Defense identificationcard holders Monday-Friday from 5a.m. to 6 p.m., is not a new access pointto Fort Carson.

“Gate 19 has been at this locationfor as long as the area has belonged toFort Carson,” said Rick Orphan, DPWEngineering Division traffic engineer.The gate, however, was closed to all butlimited official traffic when installationsecurity measures increased after 9/11.

Getting the project to reopen the oldgate moving required a collaborate effort,which ultimately saved Army dollars.

The 52nd Engineer Battalionconstructed more than two miles ofimproved gravel access road leading toGate 19. Final touches are being provided

by the DPW base operations andmaintenance contractor, Fort CarsonSupport Services, that is installingroad signs to ensure the route is easyto follow. A contractor completedconstruction on a new Gate 19 guardstructure to ensure a functional accesscontrol point to Fort Carson.

Once the combat aviation brigadearrives, Gate 19 will support approxi-mately 2,500 vehicles trips per daygoing to the area, based on a FortCarson Comprehensive TransportationStudy 2012 update.

“Gate 19 provides a good alternativefor Soldiers and civilians wishing toaccess locations near Butts ArmyAirfield,” said Wyka. “It’s easy access toInterstate 25 and the city of Fountainmakes it attractive to commuters andlocal traffic alike.”

Improvements to Charter OakRanch Road, which provides a direct,1.5-mile connection between Exit 128on I-25 and Gate 19, are planned in apartnership effort between Fort Carsonand El Paso County as soon as fundingbecomes available.

Call DPW at 526-9267 for moreinformation.

Defeat means the loss of property,life or even culture; quitting meansthe death of comrades or critical missions unaccomplished. Focusstraying from the mission means lack of direction and readiness.Abandoning a fallen comrade meansthe end of trust and loyalty. Not onlydoes this add a sense of urgency tosuccess, but it also adds a dimension

of fear to the possibility of failure. No warrior will allow himself

to be the reason that a mission didnot succeed; or that a comrade willnever come home; or that his unitwill not be able to continue to fight.No Soldier will allow himself tohave the feeling of guilt that comeswith being a “weak link.”Conversely, achievement is a drivingfactor for warrior cultures.

Placing the mission first means motivation, organization and forward

planning. Never accepting defeatmeans finding a way to succeed inthe face of adversity. Never quittingand never leaving a fallen comradereinforces your commitment andobligations to your peers.

These driving factors are solidifiedwithin the Warrior Ethos, stating inabsolutes: “I will never accept defeat. I will never quit,” leaving no room for exception — it is definitive and inflexible, perfectly showcasing thetenacity and resilience unique to this

lifestyle. With these pillars in place, it isclear how the statements of the WarriorEthos have become universal conceptsdefining the ideal warrior image.

So, what does the Warrior Ethosmean to me? The Warrior Ethos is whathas come to be expected of me, of us,as a part of our warrior culture. It mani -fests what doesn’t need to be spoken; it classifies our nature. Moreover, itserves as an understated reminder ofwhere we came from, and the path thatwe will continue on into the future.

WASHINGTON — “Our profession is built onthe bedrock of trust,” said Army Chief of Staff Gen.Ray Odierno.

“Trust is earned. It is not given,” Odierno toldattendees of the annual meeting of the Association ofthe United States Army during a forum about theArmy Profession Oct. 22.

“It is not rank-oriented. It is deeds, not words.”Odierno said the Army has learned time and time

again all anyone needs to do is listen to the youngSoldiers who have been in combat to understand whattrust between Soldiers means, and how much theyrely on the person to their left or to their right.

“You have to rely on them undeniably. You haveto be there for each other in the most stringent ofconditions. You have to believe that they will be therefor you at the most important times. You have to workas a team and that trust must be built over time, and itmust be earned,” he said.

The trust between Soldiers and leaders isabsolutely fundamental and critical to the profession,Odierno explained. The foundation of being an

effective leader is to earnthe trust of peers, subordi-nates and superiors.

“I want to put emphasison earned. I worry thatsometimes we have toomany people that believe justbecause they are a certainrank they automaticallydeserve a certain amountof trust and respect,” hesaid. “You have to earn it.You earn it by youractions, you earn it by yourexperience and you earn itby your ability to lead, mostly in the most difficulttimes, so that is incumbent in everything we do.”

He said to build trust between Soldiers and leadersthere must be, “a leader who believes in what they aredoing; a leader who leads from the front; a leader whois able then to garner a respect that ultimately engenderstrust from his subordinates and his fellow leaders.”

Trust goes beyond the faith Soldiers have in eachother and includes trust between the Army and Soldiers.

“It is about the institution of the Army by making

sure we are doing everything we can to ensure we havethe best-trained, the best-equipped and the most readySoldiers,” Odierno said. “We must have leaders that arewilling to make tough decisions; who are willing to be

‘Regulars’ road march to ‘The Box’Story and photos by Pfc. Andrew Ingram

1st Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office,4th Infantry Division

FORT IRWIN, Calif. — With their safety briefand vehicle checks complete, the 1st Battalion, 22ndInfantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4thInfantry Division, Soldiers loaded into their vehicles,and filed down the road one at a time to achieve theirspacing during a tactical road march at the NationalTraining Center, Oct. 25.

After a week at the Fort Irwin, Calif., receptionarea known as Logistics Staging Area Warrior, the“Regulars” set out under the cover of darkness to

begin a two-week training regimen that involvespartnering with “Atropian” Security Forces, whilefending off attacks from the nation of “Donovia,” asa way to test their abilities.

“We are headed out to conduct a decisive actionmission, which means we could come up againstanything,” said Command Sgt. Maj. TimothyEdwards, senior enlisted leader, 1st Bn., 22nd Inf.Reg. “We will most likely face conventional forcesfrom the nation of Donovia, as well as insurgentsfrom the local Atropian population.”

Before the Regulars mounted their vehicles andconvoyed to their temporary home in the MojaveDesert, senior noncommissioned officers gatheredtheir Soldiers to conduct safety briefs.

“One thing I really want to emphasize to theyoung Soldiers especially, is safety,” said Sgt. 1stClass Scott Veldt, schools noncommissioned officer,Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Bn.,22nd Inf. Reg. “We have an important mission outhere, but this is training, not combat; I don’t want tosee any of my Soldiers hurt or killed because of apreventable mistake.”

In the months leading up to their rotation, theRegulars spent weeks in the Fort Carson training areahoning their skills through constant drills and exercises.

“I feel very confident in my Soldiers, said Veldt.

“They are very focused, and I believe they are readyfor everything the trainers out here will throw at them.”

Pfc. Seth Vordermark, Headquarters andHeadquarters Company, said he is eager to get outinto “The Box,” as Soldiers call the NTC trainingarea, to prove his unit’s competence.

“For a lot of us who haven’t deployed yet, this isthe biggest test we’ve faced so far,” Vordermark said.“I think how we perform here will do a lot to earn therespect of our leaders, and prove we have what ittakes to handle the stress of a combat deployment.”

Edwards said he looks forward to watching hisSoldiers enhance their skills during the course of thetwo-week training event.

“Out here, all I can ask from my Soldiers is to getbetter every day, have fun, hone their individualskills, and for our young leaders to always buildon their platoon’s collective tasks,” Edwards said. “Ibelieve that is where the rubber meets the road, downat the platoon level. With our young leaders handlingbusiness and looking out for their Soldiers, we aregoing to do very well here at NTC.”

The Regulars convoy exited its staging area indarkness, headlights off, relying on night visiongoggles to navigate the dirt roads of the training area.

“You can’t be too careful,” Edwards said. “Theenemy could already be looking for us.”

When leaders ask him whatthey can do as professionals fortheir troops, he said, “It’s not tocoddle them, it’s not to be a niceguy, it’s not to be their friend, it’sto make sure they are absolutelyprepared, so when we ask them togo to combat, they can do theappropriate mission, they can protectthemselves, and they come back totheir Families.”

The f inal level of trust,Odierno said, is between theAmerican people and the Armywhen they entrust their sons anddaughters to the military.

“Mothers and fathers turn overtheir young sons and daughters tous in order to build them up tosomething more and help themto become part of something that’sbigger than themselves,” Odiernosaid. “They trust we will train them,and we will provide them a learningenvironment that allows them toindividually improve and collectivelyimprove as a whole Army.”

The American people hold the

Army accountable to as it executesone of the most important thingsthe Army is given — the executionof combat land power.

They expect us to hold a higherstandard. We represent the UnitedStates wherever we go abroad,”Odierno said. “What I want is whensomeone sees a Soldier, no matterwhere it might be ... that theyunderstand that they are talking tosomeone who is a true professional.Who understands their business,who has the moral and ethicalvalues to make the right judgments,and causes them to say, ‘I want to bejust like him.’”

Red Ribbon Week

Events build awareness on, off postRed Ribbon Week

Events build awareness on, off post


Story and photos by Spc. Nathan Thome4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office

Fort Carson hosted its annual campaign to raise awareness on the dangers of drugs and alcoholduring Red Ribbon Week, Oct. 22-26, by holding a variety of events on post and in the ColoradoSprings community.

Activities included a ribbon-cutting ceremony,luncheons at the USO and Exchange, and a two-day Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation racquetball tournament.

According to the National Family Partnership,the first nationwide RedRibbon Campaign was held in 1988, in honor ofEnrique “Kiki” Camarena,a U.S. Drug EnforcementAdministration Agentkilled in Mexico in 1985.

Camarena worked hisway through college, servedin the Marines, became apolice officer, and shortlyafter that decided to join theDEA, telling his mother,“I’m only one person, but Iwant to make a difference.”

Camarena was sent towork undercover inMexico to investigate adrug cartel believed toinclude officers in theMexican army, police andthe government. On Feb. 7,1985, five men appeared atCamarena’s side as he wasleaving his office andshoved him into a car. One month later, his body was found; he hadbeen tortured to death.

In honor ofCamarena’s memory

and his battle against illegal drugs, friends andneighbors wore red satin badges, and parents whowere sick of the destruction by alcohol and otherdrugs, formed coalitions that adopted the symbol of Camarena’s memory, the red ribbon.

The tradition of wearing red ribbons is still carried on today. School officials across the nation promote Red Ribbon Week by giving theirstudents a red ribbon to wear throughout the week,along with a daily theme for resisting drugs.

Pinello Elementary School in Colorado Springs,hosted Fort Carson’s ribbon-cutting ceremony, kicking off the first day of Red Ribbon Week.

“It’s a great honor to be here to sharein this special and important event withour Front Range neighbors, especiallyhere in District 3,” said Chris DeGaray,executive officer, U.S. Army Garrison,Fort Carson. “For over 20 years, we have celebrated Red Ribbon Week.

“Students, we ask that you take this

opportunity as part of your community, your school and as an individual, to commit to drug prevention and make a personal commitment to live drug-free lives,” DeGaray said to a room full of students.

The ceremony was unique in the fact that it marked the first time Fort Carson held the ceremony off post.

“We wanted to get the community involved in our ceremony, so when Pinello (ElementarySchool) was recommended, we coordinated with the school, and they were eager to have us,” saidAnthony McCollin, prevention coordinator, FortCarson Army Substance Abuse Program.

Students and school staff gathered in the gymnasium for the start of the ceremony.

Longtime volunteer earns Red Cross awardBy Andrea Sutherland

Mountaineer staff

Debby MacSwain’s successescan be measured by the livesshe’s touched. Throughout her45-plus year career with theAmerican Red Cross, she’s traveled the world, supportingtroops in Vietnam during some of the most tumultuous points ofthe conflict. She served at theAmerican Red Cross headquartersduring Desert Storm. She traveled to Somalia in 1993 tocheck on the welfare of RedCross volunteers.

Yet it’s her dedication in the swimming pool that hasdefined her career.

“There’s nothing like teachingsomebody to learn the front float,”said MacSwain, who teachesswim lessons at Iron Horse Sportsand Fitness Center. “I learn somethingnew every time I’m in the water.”

MacSwain estimates that she’staught close to a thousand childrenand adults to swim, or at least feelmore comfortable in the water.

Among her successes, she counts Ana, a little girl with Downsyndrome who loved the water; Ian, a 4-year-old autistic boy who wasafraid of the water at first, but afterfour years of lessons would jump off

the diving board and swim the lengthof the pool; and Sidney, an 11-year-old girl with autism whose favorite positionis riding a kickboard like a surfboard.

For her dedication and efforts,American Red Cross officials awardedMacSwain the Harriman Award, the highest recognition for volunteerservice in the organization.

“Debby has had a wonderfulcareer of service with the AmericanRed Cross as both a professional

and as a volunteer,” said ThomasGonzalez, CEO of the American RedCross Pikes Peak Chapter in ColoradoSprings, in a release. “In our chapterboundaries, we know Debby as a selfless volunteer who has served inmany roles and continues to give ofher time and many talents.”

MacSwain’s first encounter withthe Red Cross came in 1968 when shetook a water safety instructor course.She applied to be part of the American

Red Cross “Donut Dollies,” serving a year in Vietnam in support of the military.

“We experienced every emotion every single day,” she said.

MacSwain traveled the country with other female volunteers, concocting games and other forms of entertainmentfor the troops.

“It was tremendously exciting,” she said.

Other times, her work inVietnam was much more somber.

“I was in Da Nang at anAmerican Field Hospital and I wasasked to hold the hand of a dyingSoldier,” she said. “He lookedjust like one of my brothers.”

After returning to the U.S.,MacSwain continued volunteer-ing for the Red Cross, eventuallyaccepting a position in Germanywhere she met her husband,

then a second lieutenant in the Army.Her career with the Red Cross

continued as did her commitment tosupporting the military.

Despite her contributions abroad,MacSwain is adamant her most significant work takes place in those swimming pools, where she continuesto volunteer as a swim instructor.

“It is the most important,” shesaid. “Everything else just kind of happened.”

Post hosts hazardous waste turn-in event

Community Hospital, andDeGaray, in talking with thechildren about the dangers of drugs and how they can rise above them.

“What we wanted to dowas raise awareness for drugprevention, and I think that the children understood themessage we were trying topush,” said McCollin.

The children screamed andjumped with excitement whenmascots McGruff the CrimeDog and Daren the Drug AbuseResistance Education Lionentered the room, reinforcingthe drug prevention message.

James McGhee, PinelloElementary School principal,said he believes the ceremonyheightened the students’ aware-ness about staying drug free.

The ceremony concluded

with three winners of the“What does it mean to be drugfree?” essay contest holding a red ribbon, while McGheeand DeGaray cut it.

Before leaving, the entiregymnasium of students sangtheir “Drug Free Me” song.

“It was an honor for FortCarson to choose Pinello tohost their ribbon cutting ceremony,” said McGhee. “Thedistrict is constantly trying toreach out to the community and maintain that school-community connection, so(Fort) Carson choosing us tohost their ceremony for thefirst time off post is an honor.”

During the second day ofRed Ribbon Week, Fort Carsonheld a luncheon at the USOand invited Stacey Cook, MissMile High, to talk to Soldiers.

“I specialize in drug addiction and prevention, so Italked to (ASAP) about coming

down here and speaking to the Soldiers,” said Cook.

This is the first time Cookhas done anything related to RedRibbon Week on Fort Carson.She said she participated in red ribbon events at schools,such as helicopter fly-ins, butnever on post.

“The two most importantthings to me are communicationand education,” said Cook.

She said it is important that Soldiers communicate with their fellow Soldiers andFamilies about emotions,because it’s is key in preventingthe types of feelings that leadto using drugs. Soldiers alsoneed to know about the typesof substances people abuse,what they do to their body and how they can affect themin the long run, she said.

Cook sat down withSoldiers, having one-on-onechats about their lives, the

military and ways to avoiddrug dependency.

On the third day of RedRibbon Week, ASAP and USOvolunteers invited Soldiers andtheir Families to a free lunch of pizza and hot dogs at theExchange. Members from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo were also in attendance, bringing in animals and reptilesfor Soldiers and Family members to see.

DFMWR held aRacquetball Tournament Oct. 24-25 at the Iron HorsePhysical Fitness Center.

“The whole point of Red Ribbon Week is to raiseawareness, but more importantly,it brings people together,” saidEdgardo Menjivar, prevention coordinator, ASAP. “Theseevents are meant to show people the support network that they have, so they know that they are not alone.”

WASHINGTON — CivilianWorkforce Transformation creates a number of changes to personnel,management and training policies forDepartment of the Army civilians.

CWT will benefit civilians, commanders, the Army and the nation,according to Thomas A. Lamont,assistant secretary of the Army,Manpower and Reserve Affairs, whoinitiated CWT last year. He spoke Oct. 24 at Association of the UnitedStates Army's Department of the Army Civilian Luncheon.

Among the benefits of CWT hecited were realignment of career programs into 31 categories to achievebetter capabilities; greater opportunitiesfor career education, training and technical development; improvedcareer tracking; and reducing the timeit takes to bring new hires onboard.

CWT will also play a part in manpower decisions. As the active

and Reserve components drawdown their end strengths,Department of the Army civilians are also seeing theirnumbers decline, Lamont said, “to the maximum extentpossible, through voluntarydepartures and attrition.”

He said manpower decisions are based on providing a “flexible andadaptable civilian workforcefully capable of supporting the Army and the nation.

“Army leadership is handling the drawdown in both themilitary and civilian workforce withutmost care and compassion,” he continued. “But, we must do thissmartly to achieve not just the rightnumber of people but the right mix ofskills to move our Army forward.”

The type of civilians the Armyneeds, according to Lamont, are those who are “capable, technically proficient, well-grounded leaders,innovative, creative, embrace change,

work collaboratively, understand the values and skills of partnering and are empowered to solve needs and problems.”

And to that list of desired traits,the assistant secretary added:“Willingness to take risks. (We need)great leaders who are not afraid to put it on the line from time to time —and that’s an all too rare commodity in our big building across the river” he said, referring to the Pentagon.

Lamont noted that civilians comprise a great percentage of the Armyand also deploy alongside Soldiers,performing many critical missions. Of particular value, he said, is the continuity civilians provide to the Armywhich is “lacking” on the uniform side.

“(I’m) fortunate to be surroundedby such talented and spirited men andwomen (who are) all striving to serveour country in the best way possible,” hesaid. “Yes, you do make a difference.”

“Army leadership is handling the drawdownin both the military and civilian workforcewith utmost care and compassion. But, wemust do this smartly to achieve not just theright number of people but the right mixof skills to move our Army forward.”

Pope catches Rising Star titleBy Andrea Sutherland

Mountaineer staff

Twelve finalists battled during theOperation Rising Star competition atthe Special Events Center, Saturday,with Sgt. Nadine Pope, 3rd SpecialTroops Battalion, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division,taking the top slot.

“It’s a shock,” said Pope. “It feels good.”

Pope sang “One Night Only,” from the Broadway musical“Dreamgirls,” to clinch the victory.Jessica Garrett-Anguiano and Chelsea Ramsland, both spouses, took second and third.

“Everyone did an excellent job,”said Ann Edinger, chief, Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare andRecreation. “We had a very talentedpool. The judges had a difficult time deciding.”

The judges’ votes weren’t the only factors in granting first, secondand third place to the contestants.Audience votes mattered, making up 50 percent of the final tally.

More than 250 attendees cheeredon the vocalists and members of 3rd STB earned the Spirit Award,according to Edinger.

The competition began Oct. 23,when 27 vocalists auditioned at theFreedom Performing Arts Center.

As the first-place finisher, Popereceived $500 and will advance to the next round of competition.

Winners from each installationwill be paired against each otherthrough the first round of competitionwhere judges vote via video submission. Judges will select the top 12 performers in mid-November to advance to the semi-final round.

The 12 finalists will then travel to San Antonio for the semi- and final rounds of the competition,which will air on the PentagonChannel in early December and viewers are encouraged to vote fortheir favorite singer.

Audience members will be able to cast their vote by logging ontowww.OpRisingStar.com. The exacttimes of voting windows will be published on the website prior to air times.

The winner of Operation RisingStar receives the opportunity to spend time in a professional recordingstudio to create a demo CD with three songs as well as $1,000.

Pope said she’s excited to compete.She’s been singing since she was 8

years old and often finds herselfsinging in her room after she finisheswork. She recently finished a tourwith the U.S. Army Soldier Show, performing with other Soldiers atinstallations across the world.

To prepare for the Armywide competition, she said she is trying tofind a song that “best fits her voice.”

“Singing is a stress reliever,”

she said. “It’s a way for me to release tension.”

Pope listed Whitney Houston,Karen Clark Sheard and Jill Scottamong her favorite artists.

Although Pope says she is “just aSoldier,” she wants people to recognizethe depth of talent many Soldiers have.

“I want people to see the otherside,” she said.

A new nurse greeter, quicker treatment for pain, primary care greeter teams and less wait intriage — times are changing in the Evans ArmyCommunity Hospital Emergency Department.

The goal is to move beneficiaries more efficiently through the Emergency Department. It’s a transformation that began with the externalrenovation of the department and has now moved to an internal one.

“We moved into the space and what we eventuallyrealized was that we needed to re-evaluate the waywe worked,” said Cindi McKnight-Smith, assistantclinical nurse officer in charge, Department ofEmergency Medicine. “We know people want to get in here and see a doctor as soon as possible.We’re doing our best to get that done.”

McKnight-Smith is the project owner of an ArmyLean Six Sigma process designed to streamline thepatient flow through the Emergency Department. A

core group of nine people began to studythe issue in Februaryand changes are ongoing to decrease the amount of time ittakes to get through thetreatment process.

“We want patients to know their voiceshave been heard,” said Maj. MatthewAngelidis, chief ofEmergency Medicine.“We are developingcare that will be fasterand more efficient. This is my (EmergencyDepartment); ourFamilies get care here,too. We’re providersand patients here. I

care how we deliver care; we want to make it better.” One of the biggest changes implemented in

October is the inclusion of medical personnel in the lobby. A registered nurse greets and makes the initial patient assessment.

“We have eyes on a patient as soon as they walk through the door,” McKnight-Smith said.“Nurses are trained to look for signs indicatingurgency and emergent symptoms.”

The nurse determines the patient’s status, and ifdeemed appropriate, may work with another newaddition. A Primary Care Greeter Team stationedinside the emergency room can help patients withnon-emergent issues by providing same-day appoint-ments with the patient’s Family medicine clinic. Thisteam cannot be found at any of the local communityhospitals and provides a unique patient-centered service to Fort Carson’s blossoming population.

“We want them to be seen by their team.Consistent care benefits them,” McKnight-Smith said.

If the nurse determines the EmergencyDepartment is where the patient should be seen,another improved practice goes into effect, one thestaff calls “pull until full.” Rather than triaging in aseparate area, the patient gets pulled right into one of17 rooms where a nurse can begin the process.

A triage treatment room is in the works to allowproviders to continue treating patients until they canbe moved into a bed. This specialized area will beequipped with comfortable chairs, televisions andcall buttons for nursing.

Finally, Emergency Department visitors maynotice that the initial protocols for treatment havechanged. Previously, there was no treatment before a doctor arrived. Now, nurses are able to treat pain,nausea, draw blood, start IVs and order lab workbefore a patient sees a doctor. It means less waitingtime for patients and helps get results to the doctorbefore he sees the patient.

McKnight-Smith said there are also manybehind-the-scenes changes that beneficiaries won’tnotice but will improve daily operations. Theseinclude new monitors at nurses’ stations and a voicecommunication system. The department is working

with primary care clinics and subspecialty clinics todevelop improved follow-up care, including next daycardiology treadmill stress tests, next day primarycare appointments and expediting interactions withthe Laboratory and Radiology departments.

“Small changes can make a difference. Wedirectly interact with every other department on adaily basis,” said Angelidis. “There are lots of stepsfor us to look at to improve your experience.”

Angelidis noted that the overall length of stay inthe Evans Emergency Department is well under theapproximately four hour national average. Less than 2percent of patients leave the department without beingseen; nationwide, that number is above 5 percent.He said the EACH goal is the same as the patient’sgoal — to get people to a health care professional.

“We don’t want people to walk out the doorunseen. It’s a risk. It’s a danger and can be detrimentalto your health,” said Angelidis. “I want you to know, when you need us, we’re there.”

The Main Pharmacy at EvansArmy Community Hospital iswill be closed Wednesday-Nov.12 for a massive makeover.

The renovations are the latest step in taking patient safety to the next level, said John Callahan, outpatient pharmacy supervisor.

“We already have the shortest wait time in the WesternRegion,” Callahan said. “Thisisn’t about making it faster. It’s to make it safer.”

The pharmacy’s internalspace will be completely guttedand rebuilt to incorporate newfurniture and equipment, as well as improve the workflow for employees. Even the furnitureis designed to promote safety by eliminating cracks that pills may fall into, he said. The centerpiece of the new space is a$350,000 automated prescriptiondispenser. Once a pharmacistreviews and approves a prescription, the machine automatically fills it. Employees

use a hand-held scanner on boththeir computer and then the dispenser to ensure accuracy.

“In the last two years alone,we’ve had 25 percent growth inbusiness. We have about 1,000 visits a day between the MainPharmacy and the Woods SoldierFamily Care Center pharmacy. Thisupdate will take us forward for the next 20 years,” Callahan said.

One thing that won’t changeis the patient’s access to a pharmacist. Callahan stressedpharmacists will continue tointeract with patients at the window and be available to talkwhenever they are needed.

“We are committed to patient safety and satisfactionwhen patients visit. We want toensure they receive the medicalattention and commitment theydeserve,” he said.

Beneficiaries may fill new prescriptions at the SFCCpharmacy Wednesday-Nov. 9.Refills that were ordered for the Main Pharmacy can bepicked up during duty hours atthe Inpatient Pharmacy, locatedon the hospital’s bottom floor.EACH will fill only emergencyprescriptions Nov. 10-12.

Linda Ingram uses a hand-held scanner to verify prescription information for a patient at EvansArmy Community Hospital’s Main Pharmacy. A new automated systems uses scanners and adispensing machine to improve prescription accuracy and safety.

More than 350 volunteers chose to spend theirSaturday giving back to their community by cleaningup Fort Carson as part of Make A Difference Day.

“MADD is a day of national volunteering, andFort Carson volunteers are the force behind the force,” said Joey Bautista, Fort Carson Army Volunteer Corps manager, Army Community Service. “Fort Carson has participated in MADD since it was founded 22 years ago.”

Always held the fourth Saturday in October, MADDis the nation’s largest day of community service.

To kickoff the event, Soldiers, Family membersand community members gathered at Iron Horse Parkfor a complimentary breakfast before being split offinto six groups to clean up various areas across post.

The first group stayed at Iron Horse Park to rake leaves and pick up trash around the area. Some volunteers brought their children to participate in the event.

Wanting to spread the word about MADD, theBetter Opportunities for Single Soldiers program put together a group of Soldiers who tackled the Fort Carson dog park. They removed weeds around the fences and combed the area for trash.

“MADD isn’t just about volunteering; it’s abouthelping those who need it and making a difference inpeople’s lives,” said Spc. Elizabeth Erickson, BOSSvice president, Headquarters and HeadquartersCompany, 1st Special Troops Battalion, 1st BrigadeCombat Team, 4th Infantry Division.

After finishing with the dog park, the Soldierslinked up with two more groups cleaning the fence line between Gate 1 and Gate 3, picking up trash along the trail behind military housing.

“We decided to help the other groups with theirareas,” said Erickson. “We are one big Family, andFamily helps each other out.”

The last groups gathered in the Choctaw Village military housing to paint wooden fences,and re-apply paint to mark speed bumps and storm water drains.

“I volunteer because I like giving back, and I like the community that it brings; you meet really great people,” said Spc. Tyler Stryffeler, 62nd Sapper Company, 4th Engineer Battalion. “People get the opportunity to see and be with people whohave similar interests.”

Stryffeler, who arrived at Fort Carson in early October, said he likes to volunteer as muchas he can. He heard about MADD the day before the event and asked around to find out how he could volunteer.

The volunteers returned to Iron Horse Park for abarbecue and pizza lunch, where they sat together and talked about the work they did in their groups.

“Whatever the volunteers do today, they are goingto make a difference and impact the community,” said Bautista. “Small, big — the thing is, you’re hereto make a difference; that’s what it’s all about.”

Commentary by Shari LopatinTriWest Healthcare Alliance

You’ve changed the foods you eatto include more fruits and veggies.You’ve cut back on the soda and started exercising three times a week.

And yet, you’re not losing weight— or at least, not losing enough.Why? It really all boils down to twovery small, but significant words: portion control.

“Many individuals are totallyunaware of how much is an

appropriate amount of food,” saidLynne Campagne, a registered dietitianwith TriWest Healthcare Alliance.

How many calories are you reallyconsuming each day? For example, a single serving of meat — like chicken or steak — is roughly the sizeof your palm. Reducing the number of calories you eat or drink can helpprevent weight gain … and promoteweight loss.

The key to controlling calories lies in portion control. The AmericanDiabetes Association has a tool to

help control portions better.“Create Your Plate” focuses first

on portion sizes and then food choice.Not only is it meant to help diabeticsmanage their condition, but it can be an effective weight loss tool.

You can apply the basics of“Create Your Plate” easily at home.Here’s how it works:

1. Put a line down the middle of an empty dinner plate.

2. On one side, cut it again so you have three sections on your plate.

3. Fill the largest section withnon-starchy veggies (greenbeans, spinach, mushrooms).

4. In one of the smaller sections,place starchy foods such aswhole grain breads or potatoes.

5. Fill the other small section withmeat such as chicken or salmon.

6. Add an eight-ounce glass oflow-fat milk or a six-ounce container of light yogurt.

Lease termination, interest rate reduction

By Capt. Bryant MorrisonLegal Assistance attorney

The Servicemembers Civil ReliefAct is a federally-enacted statute thatupdated and replaced the Soldiers’and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act. Aspresently written, the SCRA offersnumerous protections for individualswho enter the military, are called toactive-duty service in the military or are deployed incident to military orders.

Some of the more common protections include lease termination, stay of proceedings and interest rate reduction.

With respect to residential leases, the SCRA may authorize a servicemember to terminate early without penalty. Generally, a servicemember can terminate a residential lease early, provided he received permanent-change-of-station orders or orders to deploy to a new location for a period of greater than 90 days. In order toproperly invoke this right, a servicemember must complywith the notice provisions of the controlling lease agreement.Typically, leases require a servicemember to provide written notice 30 days in advance of terminating his residential lease; however, some leases may extend the notice period to 60 days.

One of the more significant SCRA benefits authorizes a stay of pending civil and administrative proceedings. To be eligible for a stay of proceedings, a servicemembermust be in the military service or within 90 days afterrelease from military service and have notice of the pendingproceeding. Additionally, a servicemember may be requiredto request a stay of proceedings with the governing court.

Such requests mustinclude two letters —

one from the service-member and one from his

commanding officer. Both letters mustoutline how the servicemember’s military duty

requirements materially affect his ability to appear at the scheduled proceeding. The servicemember’s

letter must note when an appearance would be feasibleand the commanding officer’s letter must explicitly

state that military leave is not presently authorized. Whilea servicemember may be granted a stay of proceedings thatdoes not mean the pending action was disposed of. Rather,the servicemember must be diligent in addressing the matterwhen his or her military duty requirements will allow such.

As for interest rate reduction, the SCRA allows a servicemember to reduce interest on debts that existed priorto entry on active duty to a rate of 6 percent. For a debt toqualify for an interest rate reduction, it must have existedprior to entry to or activation on active duty. The SCRAextends this benefit to both secured debts and debts heldjointly with a spouse. The SCRA mandates that a creditorforgive all interest above 6 percent, thus lowering the monthly payment. On the converse, a creditor may not accelerate a debt as a result of reducing the interest rate. TheSCRA is clear that the benefit is a reduction in the monthlypayment, not an acceleration of the principal balance owed.

The SCRA has a number of other provisions concerning default judgments, tolling of a statute of limitations, evictions, foreclosures, mortgages, automobileleases, taxation and voting rights.

Challenges offer great rewardsCommentary by

Chap. (Maj.) James P. Breckenridge759th Military Police Battalion

When the children of Israel were travelingtoward the Promised Land, they sent 12 spies to search out the land. They spent 40 days in the land. When they returned, they all reportedthat the land was a good land, “a land flowing with milk and honey.”

This part of the report was true. However, they also reported that the cities of the land weregreat and “walled up to heaven.” They told of giants in the land, giants so tall that “we were asgrasshoppers.” That part of the report was wildlyexaggerated. The spies then concluded that the

city walls and the giants were too great for them to overcome. Most of the people believed them and wanted to return to slavery in Egypt rather than face the giants and city walls.

Two of the spies, however, suggested a differentcourse of action. Joshua and Caleb advised the others to, “Go up (to the land) at once, for we arewell able to overcome it.” All of the people wereafraid except these two. Joshua and Caleb beggedthe people to trust in God and in his promises tolead them, protect them and provide for them, butthe people refused. As a result, only Joshua andCaleb were allowed to enter the land.

We also face difficulties and obstacles in ourlives. We may be tempted to go back, to run fromchallenges and to return to situations that are easy

and comfortable. Yet challenges usually offer greatrewards, as they did for Joshua and Caleb.

God promises his faithfulness to those who rely on him. When the problems mount in our lives,and the giants seem too big to overcome, God’s love still endures. Sometimes here at Fort Carson,far from home for many of us, it is easy to feel as if we have nobody who really cares or whom we can trust. But God is still in control, and he stillcares. Someone once said, “There are three stages in any great task undertaken for God: impossible,difficult, done.” The stumbling blocks of life are in fact the stepping stones God uses to make us better and stronger. The reward is not at the beginning of a great task, but at the end. Do not give up in doing what is right.

Mountainside Elementary School opened itsdoors to some of the Army’s elite athletes Oct. 23, giving its students the opportunity to meet andunderstand how Olympic-caliber athletes support the Army mission

The visit was also designed to give the childrena better understanding of how they would benefitfrom participating in athletic programs, according to Shanise Lewis, World Class Athlete Program outreach coordinator. Lewis said the program was sponsored in conjunction with the Fort Carson Youth Services Center with the goal of helping children understand that they, too, can

one day be an Olympic-caliber athlete.“We decided to do this outreach program

because one of the things we had in mind was toincrease the participation in youth sports on post,”Lewis said. “We are also doing this in conjunctionwith the youth center, which is about to begin its winter sports activities such as wrestling and basketball. We are hoping that this will

encourage the young people to getinvolved in youth sports.”

WCAP athletes representing the sports of boxing, wrestling and taekwondo put on demonstrations for the students that were designed to show them the basics of the sports andalso gave the students a chance to gethands-on knowledge of the sports.

Capt. Phil Simpson, WCAP commander, said his team was eager to be a part of the programbecause it promotes athletic involvement and brought a good message for the children.

“We are here today because this isdrug awareness week,” Simpson said.“Part of our message at the WorldClass Athlete Program is to be good atsports and to do it the right way which,in part, means doing it drug-free. We wanted to show the children how successful athletes like the ones wehave (in WCAP are) ... and let themknow that they can do it drug-free.”

The WCAP athletes representingthe three sports encouraged the students to learn all they can about their sport and emphasized that they could not do what they do and be where they are if they were not committed to being drug-free andworking hard.

A world-class museum filledwith life-size dinosaurs and ancient sea creatures is less than ahalf-hour’s drive from Fort Carson.And during Veterans Day weekend— Nov. 10-12 — active-duty orretired military with identificationwill receive half-price admission to the center. Family members with military identification willalso get half-price admission.

Admission entitles visitors toguided tours by a knowledgeable

guide who will provideinformation about thePermian, Triassic,Jurassic and Cretaceousperiods. Tours takeabout an hour, are veryinformative and providea better experience than a self-guided tour.Plus, the guides speak“dinosaur” and answerquestions.

Not included in the tour, visitors mightwant to watch the 10-minute video abouta field dig and howpaleontologists preparefossils at the dig site to be transported.

There are several hands-onexhibits where visitors can touchdisplays, a nest of fossilizeddinosaur eggs, dinosaur tracks and a very large humerus dinosaur bone.

There’s also the Children’sLearning Center, where childrencan create their own dinosaurspecies, “discover” bones in a simulated dinosaur dig, make rubbings and watch the film “Prehistoric Planet,” starring Ben Stiller.

More than 30 full-size skeletons or cast replicas are in the Woodland Park facility.Founders of the Rocky MountainDinosaur Resource Center are residents of Woodland Park. Mikeand J.J. Triebold own TrieboldPaleontology, which provides paleontological exploration, restoration, mounting and replicacasting for about 150 museumsthroughout the world. Because fossilized bones are very heavy and fragile, skeletal displays are almost always castings.

Castings are made in the paleontology laboratory in the Rocky Mountain DinosaurResource Center. Visitors can watch paleo-technicians at work in the laboratory Mondays-Fridays.The workers may spend months

removing rock from fossilizedbones. Strong glues are used to fill the cracks in the bone, thencasts are made from silicone molds, filled with a liquid plasticmaterial to make a copy of a fossil part. The cast parts areassembled around a steel structure.It may take several months or years to complete a skeleton. When finished, the specimen may be displayed in the museum or sent to its new home.

One of the newest exhibits in the resource center is anApatosaurus that is 17 feet high and 80 feet long. The Apatosaurusis displayed in the center’s atrium.The Apatosaurus was a long-neckedsauropod that lived during theJurassic period and was previouslyknown as a Brontosaurus.Impressively large, the Apatosaurushas a long tail, with forelimbs that are shorter than its hind limbs. The Apatosaurus is displayed for a few months before it is sent to another museum.

Other new arrivals displayed in the museum are an Orca, alsoknown as a killer whale, Stellar’ssea cow and a Dugong dugon,which is related to both elephantsand manatees.

The marine room contains prehistoric ocean specimens,

Places to see in thePikes Peak area.

most of them found in Kansas, left from 83 million years ago whena large sea covered most of thestate. Many of the specimens aregigantic, including an Elasmosaurus platyurus that was 42 feet long, and a Pentanogmius evolutus, about five feet long and 85 millionyears old, also found in Kansas.

A mummified baby Mammoth,Dima, less than a year old when itfell into mud, was found in Siberia,and is in the museum.

Other exhibits include aTyrannosaurus rex and an exhibit of a Daspletosaurus, which is 35 feet long and is believed to be an ancestor of the T-rex. There’san Oviraptor, a Bambiraptor andnumerous other dinosaurs in theDinosaur Hall.

Visitors can have their picturemade with a dinosaur and purchaseit for $5 or $8 for two.

The Prehistoric Paradise Gift Shop is indeed a paradise for dinosaur or prehistoric fans. The shop sells original fossils, puzzles, puppets, stuffed animals,backpacks, books, cast replicas,jewelry, globes, pencil jars, cardholders and bookends. There’s also clothing, such as T-shirts,sweatshirts, jackets, socks andshoes. There are books, videos,magazines, toys and puppets. Theinventory includes framed art,

postcards, ornaments, patches,photo albums, chess sets, posters,prints and games.

Birthday parties can be scheduled at the Rocky MountainDinosaur Resource Center byarrangement, call 686-1820, ext. 104.

The center works with Scoutgroups in earning paleo patches.

Rocky Mountain DinosaurDiscovery Center is the only building with “palm trees” in front. Two dinosaur replicas, aStyracosaurus and aDaspletosaurus,are in front of the building. It’s at201 S. Fairview St., in WoodlandPark, on the south side of Highway24. Highway 24 west leads toWoodland Park; it’s about 20 miles.

Food is not available at the discovery center, but WoodlandPark has coffee shops, cafes andfast food outlets.

Regular admission to the museum is $11.50 for adults, $7.50 for children 5-12 and free for children 4 and under. There’sspecial pricing for active-duty andretired military during the VeteransDay holiday weekend.

Hours are Monday-Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday, 10a.m. to 5 p.m. The center is closedThanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. The website is http://www.RMDRC.com, or call 719-686-1820.

An Apatosaurus skeletal exhibit is in the atrium atthe Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center inWoodland Park. The Apatosaurus is 80 feet longand 17 feet high. It will be on exhibit for severalmonths before being shipped to a museum.
