Providing cover PartofCarsonhistorycomingdownBy Andrea Stone Mountaineer staff The buildings have stood for nearly 70 years, but seven of them are slated to come down in the coming months. At its heyday during World War II, the Old Hospital Complex on what was then Camp Carson consisted of 57 buildings capable of handling about 3,000 patients, according to documents from the National Park Service. Three of the buildings were nominated for the National Register of Historic Places, but demolition has begun on the remaining ones, located east of Carson Middle School. The buildings, which were built in the 1940s, contain asbestos and lead paint, leading to challenges in their demolition. “Getting it cleaned up is a lot better because the paint has been flaking off for the last 20 years,” said Dave Martin, environmental protection specialist with the Directorate of PublicWorks. “We’re actually cleaning up a site that’s more hazardous than the demolition.” The first building they began work on is asbestos free, but the workers are treating it as though it had asbestos so they can practice their procedures. Asbestos, which occurs naturally, was often used as a building material, and is safe as long as it’s undisturbed. When it’s disturbed, fibers can become airborne and cause respiratory problems, Martin said. To prevent that, air monitors are placed around See Demolition on Page 3

Andrew J. Reed Paralegal specialist, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division Iron Horse Strong? What makes me I joined the Army Feb. 25, 2009, simply to serve my country in an official capacity. I wanted to serve in a way that not everybody could. Serving my country means sacrifice, putting the needs of others before my own. I am Iron Horse Strong because of my temperance, my discernment, my discretion, my mercy, and, last but not least, my faith in God. Being Iron Horse Strong means having the will and the heart to stay true to what you believe in and using that to get back up when life knocks you down; to bounce back from adversity, and stand tall in the face of challenges and obstacles. Raymond F. Chandler III Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond T. Odierno General, United States Army Chief of Staff John M. McHugh Secretary of the Army Antiterrorism Awareness Month Everyone must be vigilantEditor’s note: Army leaders released the following letter in observance of Antiterrorism Awareness Month. August marks the Army’s fourth annual observance of Antiterrorism Awareness Month. We have worked hard to confront the ever-present threat of terrorist attacks against our nation and our Army. Since we began observing Antiterrorism Awareness Month, we have greatly improved community awareness and understanding of the seriousness of the terrorist threat. Over the past year alone, we’ve improved threat information sharing, revised our Antiterrorism Strategic Plan, integrated antiterrorism into the Army Protection Program, and identified new focus areas, such as cyber threats. All of these actions have helped us heighten awareness of the persistent threat posed by terrorists and encouraged our vigilance to prevent acts of terrorism. As we continue to improve our efforts each year to keep our Army Family safe, we have learned that every member of the Army community must play a role in this important mission. Effective antiterrorism measures require a combination of great leadership, a professional police force and active community involvement. We must all be vigilant, continuously watchful for threats and hazards and prepared to report them when we see them. We must also remain aware of our situation and our surroundings, noticing when something or someone seems out of place. Maintaining vigilance and encouraging situational awareness are guiding principles that will help ensure the safety and security of our Soldiers, civilians, Families, infrastructure and information. Leaders at all levels should provide support to the two important focus areas of this year’s observance: encouraging the reporting of suspicious activity and improving use of social media for community outreach. We encourage all commands to sponsor events and promote steps that embrace a community approach to safeguarding our Army. The strength of our defense is our ability to work as a team to protect our people and our installations.

the demolition site, with several of the monitors located near Iroquois Village, the housing area that borders the demolition site. Air is sucked through a filter and, at the end of the day, the filters are collected and analyzed under a micro- scope. If the fiber count is above a certain threshold, the samples are sent to a lab in Denver to be checked for asbestos fibers. “It’s the most stringent sampling there is,” said Aaron Ardourel, lead air monitoring specialist for Walsh Environmental. As demolition proceeds, workers spray water on the building to keep fibers from becoming airborne, and if the wind picks up, work stops. There are two air speed indicators on the site. If the wind blows more than 12 mph for more than 20 minutes, they stop, said Rick Hughes, site safety manager with Ayuda Management Corp. “We have zero detection,” he said. “One (asbestos) fiber, and we shut down.” DPW’s Environmental Division also monitors the site to ensure compli- ance with regulations. Inspectors from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment inspected the site Aug. 8, and will continue to conduct inspections, Martin said. In addition, the Army Corps of Engineers has a contracting officer representative who monitors the contract to make sure they follow the rules. Workers will be required to wear disposable suits and respirators when they work on asbestos-containing buildings. Regulations from the Office of Safety and Health Administration require them to take those precautions when they work around asbestos for more than 30 days per year. As the buildings are torn down, the debris will be wrapped in plastic sheeting and sealed before being hauled to landfill sites, Hughes said. More housing is planned once the site is cleared, but the presence of lead paint on the exterior of the buildings has created its own difficulties. Lead, also a naturally occurring substance, can be toxic in larger quantities. “They’re going to build housing in that area, so we don’t want that lead to get down in the soil, and then the kids go out and play on the playground or go out and dig in the backyard, and that paint’s still there,” Martin said. Once the rubble is removed, work- ers from the DPW environmental office will test the soil to make sure it’s safe for new housing. People should avoid the area while work is going on. “People need to stay away. This is a construction site,” Hughes said. “We need to keep them out. If anybody needs anything, we’re more than happy to accommodate them, but let’s do it safely.” 3Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER YOUR USED CAR HEADQUARTERS!

Parker 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office Family, friends and co-workers gathered at the Mountain Post Warrior Memorial Aug. 8 to honor the year anniversary of the passing of four warriors. Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin Griffin, along with Maj. Thomas Kennedy, Air Force Maj. Walter Gray and U.S. Agency for International Development civilian Ragaei Abdelfattah, were killed in action, while several others were wounded, on a patrol in the Kunar province of Afghanistan. One of the wounded, Capt. Florent Groberg, commander, Personal Security Detachment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, who spent the last year in rehabilitation, wrote about Griffin’s honor and sacrifice. Pamela Griffin read Groberg’s words before the release of the balloons to honor her husband and the other three men who were lost that day. “I respected the man immensely and learned as much as I could from him,” Groberg said. “He died that day a hero, but not only a war hero, but a hero husband, father, son, leader and friend.” Griffin was serving as the 4th IBCT senior enlisted adviser. Kennedy was the brigade fire support officer and Gray was an air liaison officer and flight commander for the Fort Carson-based 13th Air Support Operations Squadron. Lt. Col.

5Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER Fort Carson opens EBHT clinicStory and photo by Spc. Nathan Thome 4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Soldiers gained a new tool to remain Iron Horse Strong, after a ribbon cutting ceremony officially opened the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team Embedded Behavioral Health Team 1 clinic on Fort Carson, Aug. 6. “This building is a symbol; it’s a symbol of the leadership’s commitment to the behavioral health of our Soldiers, and the close-working rela- tionship that we have with all the incredible members of Embedded Behavioral Health Team 1,” said Maj. Collin Brooks, executive officer, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. The building supports an important function in the Army. The Fort Carson Embedded Behavioral Health Service began in 2009, with the intention of uniting the medical mission of ensuring the fighting strength, with the command mission of fighting and winning America’s wars, said U.S. Public Health Service Capt. Jennifer Card, EBHT1 chief. “These combined missions were joined together with the introduction of the Embedded Behavioral Health System of care at Fort Carson,” said Card. “As these services flourished in providing care for all of the 4th Inf. Div. brigades, the Department of the Army determined that the Fort Carson model for behavioral health services would become the standard for the force in 2011.” The clinic is the latest, and for now, the final freestanding clinic to support the 4th Inf. Div. “This clinic is strictly for covering 1st Brigade Soldiers,” said Card. “There are five behav- ioral health teams on post, and this is the fifth and final building.” Prior to the clinic, 1st ABCT received care out of the Mountain Post Behavioral Health Clinic, and 4th Brigade Support Battalion’s company operations facility. “This is our lobby, and it’s much bigger than where we were before; it was determined that where we were wasn’t going to be big or sufficient enough for all of us, so we got our own building,” said Card. “There are 13 provider offices in each team building. We have a multi-disciplinary team made up of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurse case managers and site-bound technicians.” The new building was a joint effort between the 1st ABCT and the Medical Department Activity, with a placement of the building in the 1ABCT footprint. Card said the team has already improved behavioral health outcomes, allowing more treatment for Soldiers, and has assisted with the reduction of the stigma of receiving behavioral health care. She said that Soldiers began treatment in the new facility that morning. Stacey Vowels, medical support assis- tant, EBHT1, used to work at the Mountain Post Behavioral Health Clinic before getting assigned to the new clinic. “I’m actually really excited about the move; we finally get our own building, it’s a different environment,” said Vowels. “We work really well together as a team, and we’re right next to our brigade. We have great people, and they go above and beyond to get the Soldiers the help that they need.” Sgt. Danisha St. Ann, behavioral health noncommissioned officer, Company B, 10th Combat Support Hospital, works with Vowels, and is one of the only Soldiers working at the clinic. “I screen patients for mental conditions, and help them in any way that I can,” said St. Ann. “I’ve been doing this for two years, and I love doing it. I’ve always done customer service, and this is the best customer service job in the Army.” St. Ann said the transfer from the main Col. John McGrath, left, commander, Fort Carson Medical Department Activity; U.S. Public Health Service Capt. Jennifer Card, Embedded Behavioral Health Team 1 chief; and Maj. Collin Brooks, executive officer, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, cut the ribbon to mark the official opening of the EBHT1 clinic Aug. 6. See Clinic on Page 12

Andrew Ingram 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division UDAIRI RANGE, Kuwait — The 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, officially took over operations at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, as the battalion uncased its colors in a ceremony July 29. Lt. Col. Larry Burris and Command Sgt. Maj. Troy Henderson, commander and senior enlisted leader, 1st Bn., 66th Armor Reg., removed the case and unfurled the colors during the ceremony. Col. Joel Tyler, commander, 1st ABCT, welcomed the Iron Knights to Kuwait and charged them to remain vigilant. “Our mission here is very impor- tant,” Tyler said. “We don’t know what could happen in the next few months and I need all of my Soldiers to be ready for anything.” After uncasing the colors, Burris outlined the battalion’s plans for the coming months. “This deployment isn’t about (1st Bn., 66th Armor Reg.), and it isn’t about the ‘Raider’ Brigade; it’s about our Kuwaiti partners,” he said. “We will undergo challenging training together. At the end of the day, the most important thing we do here is work with these Kuwaiti brigades.” The Iron Knights arrived in country during one of the hottest months of the year, setting up and verifying their vehicles’ and equipment’s functionality in temperatures reaching 130 degrees. Henderson commended his Soldiers’ ability to adapt to the extreme climate and challenged them to set the standard for Camp Buehring units during their partnership missions and daily tasks. “We’re already doing good things,” Henderson said. “You are displaying the discipline that I expect from this battalion. This is a team effort; we are going to partner with the Kuwaiti forces. We can learn a lot from each other, and we should look forward to continuing the tradition of respect between our forces.” The Iron Knights join the Raider Brigade’s 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment; 4th Brigade Support Battalion; and 1st Special Troops Battalion, which arrived in Kuwait in February. “I am exceptionally proud to have the Iron Knights here,” said Tyler. “I am glad to see your flag high in the wind. Take care of each other while you’re out here, take care of your Families back home, and be safe.” Command Sgt. Maj. Troy Henderson, senior enlisted leader, 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, addresses his Soldiers during an uncasing ceremony at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, July 29.

Story and photo by Spc. Nathan Thome 4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office More than 40 Fort Carson single and geographical bachelor Soldiers attended the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers Army Family Action Plan conference at the Elkhorn Conference Center, to discuss issues and concerns on post, Aug. 7-8. The conference was an opportunity for single Soldiers to voice their concerns and present ideas to improve the Army and Fort Carson, according to Spc. Anthony Castillo, installation BOSS president. “It gives Soldiers a platform to promote change,” Castillo said. The top issues presented were: Soldiers losing money because of a meal card they can’t or don’t use; DFAC hours don’t accommodate Soldiers who work odd hours, and only one DFAC is open on the weekend; lack of furniture, appliances and security for some unit barracks; unfair visitation rules during the week and weekend; and shelter for vehicles in barracks and dining facility parking lots to hinder weather damage. During the conference, the Soldiers were assigned to one of four groups and talked with a facilitator about issues they wanted addressed. Many of the Soldiers’ issues were quality of life issues, which still get addressed, even if they aren’t fixed during the AFAP conference, said Castillo. “They bring up a lot of issues; the biggest ones are always about the dining facilities and barracks,” Castillo said. “For example, some barracks are worse than others, or the dining facilities are not open 24 hours, and don’t adjust (the hours) on the weekends.” On the first day of the conference, each of the four groups went to its own room to highlight issues and develop solutions. All Soldiers removed their rank for the duration of the conference, to signify that rank wasn’t relevant to the discussions. “By having the Soldiers bring up concerns, we’re giving them a voice,” said Toni Savino, recreation specialist, entertainment branch, Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. “Every Soldier has the potential to have an idea that will change the Army for the better.” During the second day, each group narrowed down its issues to five. After everyone reconvened in the main conference room, each group selected a spokesperson to talk about its concerns and possible solutions. “After the issues are presented here and voted on, they will be taken to the next installation AFAP conference and addressed there,” said Savino. After each group presented its five issues, Soldiers in attendance received five stickers to vote with, narrowing down the total 20 issues to only five, which would then be presented to Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Steven O. Green. Soldiers volunteered to attend the 9Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER FamilyOwnedand Operatedfor Over43years. CommittedtotheCommunityweserve.

Antonio Holmes, cannon crewmember and BOSS representative, Battery B, 4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th infantry Division. “I thought I’d come to this so I could tell my company repre- sentatives, and put out in battalion formations what is going on around post and what events will be happening.” Holmes said he believes that BOSS and the conference empowers all Soldiers, and that they should get involved and learn about what the organization has to offer. from Page 9 Concerns behavioral health building to the clinic she now works at mainly benefits the Soldiers. “The transfer from the main building to this building is for the Soldiers, to be closer to their area, where they don’t have to drive or find a ride to the main location; it’s conve- nient,” St. Ann said. “The 1st ABCT Soldiers can be seen here and feel more comfort- able in their own area.” By teaching them coping skills, as well as getting them to admit to what’s going on and seek help, St. Ann said she can affect the lives of Soldiers and their Families. “I don’t believe in that stigma, because if you’re not healthy both mentally and physically, then how are you going to be able to perform well at your job?” she said. “It doesn’t matter what rank you are, I’ve seen all ranks come in here; it doesn’t matter who you are, if you need help, you should get help.” 1st ABCT has a team downrange that is building up its own resiliency center, which should be open in the next month. EBHT1 currently coor- dinates with the downrange team on a weekly basis to man- age different behavioral health issues with Soldiers who may be coming back early, or are preparing for redeployment. from Page 5 Clinic Photo by Spc.

15Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER Participants in the Hired program listen to feedback from their mock interviews. The students were interviewed by volunteers from Security Service Federal Credit Union. The program gives high school students the opportunity to gain work experience and training. Teens hired through HiredStory and photos by Andrea Stone Mountaineer staff Xavia Powell never thought she’d get a job, but her experience through the Hired program opened doors for the 19 year old. The program, offered through Child, Youth and School Services, gives high school students an opportunity to learn employment skills — such as resume and cover letter writing and interviewing — and to serve an apprenticeship at various locations on post. “It’s a good opportunity, not only with work experience, but everything that goes into it,” Powell said. “I didn’t think I’d get a job, but look at me.” Last summer, through the Hired program she worked as a teacher’s aide at the West Child Care Center. When an opening for a regular employee came up, she applied, and was hired in October as a child and youth program assistant. “It’s learning day-by-day, but it’s really rewarding,” she said. “You get to see a lot of things that other people don’t see, like when Little Johnny takes his first step.” Hired, an Armywide program, began four years ago as a way to provide youths valuable work experience. “What we see a lot is that youths are being told they need work experience to get a job, but no one is willing to hire them to get the work experience,” said Denise Dorsett, workforce preparation specialist with CYSS. Each Hired session lasts 12 weeks, and participants are required to do 180 hours of work and attend six training classes. “This is a hard program,” Dorsett said. “There’s a lot more involved in it than just working at Taco Bell. They have to come to the trainings. They have to do the hours.” At the end of the session, mock interviews are conducted by volunteers from Security Service Federal Credit Union. “For us, it’s really important to provide workplace education to young people, because they’re going to be our future leaders and our future employees,” said Rebecca Bumgarner, service center manager, SSFCU. “It’s our way of giving back.” The process for students begins with a written application, an interview and short orientation with Dorsett. She explains the requirements of the program and the different opportunities available on post. Participants can work at the CDC, the Outdoor Recreation Center, Cheyenne Shadows Golf Course, the Outdoor Pool and other locations. They can do up to two sessions per calendar year for three years, with a maximum of six sessions, and can work at the same place for each session or different places every time. If participants complete all requirements of the program, they receive a stipend, from $500 to $750. The amount of the stipend increases with each session, to encourage them to do more than one, but it takes about two months after the end of the session for students to receive their money. “Because they don’t get paid, there has to be a high level of commitment with these kids,” Dorsett said. The goal of the program is to, not only provide them with work experience and employment skills, but also give them a broad understanding of how their work site functions. “If you want to work in child care, you get an idea what it’s like,” Dorsett said. “You may have an image in your head that has nothing to do with what it actually is.” Sean Kinoff, 17, has taken advantage of that opportunity with all three of his Hired sessions. He’s worked at the Outdoor Pool, Outdoor Rec, and he just finished a 12-week session at the Auto Crafts Center, his favorite location. “I get to see something new every day,” he said. “Yesterday I saw a ’58 Buick Roadmaster.” Ramel Peoples, 16, just completed his first Hired session as a lifeguard. “I liked it,” he said. “I was motivated. I learned that being a lifeguard is not an easy job. … You have to be calm about it. If someone is freaking out, you can’t freak out or you’ll sink.” The Hired sessions run quarterly, and a new session will begin in mid-September. About 50-60 students participate in the summer sessions and 10-15 in the others. “Close to 98 percent (of participants) complete,” Dorsett said. “I have very few that actually drop out. I’m kind of persistent.” If apprentices don’t like their job or the location they’re assigned, she will move them to another location. “I try to exhaust everything before I say, ‘OK, this is just not going to work,’” she said. Students, 15-18, who are interested in participating in the next Hired session can contact Dorsett at 524-2457. Michael Olson, 15, answers questions during an interview with Sanja Romanishan, a volunteer from Security Service Federal Credit Union. The mock interviews were part of workforce training offered to high school students through the Hired program.

The Jr. Vanguard Basic Training Day “Recruits” learn to work as a team as they navigate a simulated minefield during the Jr. Vanguard Basic Training Day Camp, Saturday. The event was put on by the 4th Engineer Battalion and was open to children and friends of 4th Eng. Bn. and 43rd Sustainment Brigade Soldiers. Soldiers from the 4th Engineer Battalion train “recruits” on proper marching technique during the Jr. Vanguard Basic Training Day Camp, Saturday. The event was put on by the 4th Eng. Bn. and was open to children and friends of 4th Eng. Bn. and 43rd Sustainment Brigade Soldiers. Camp was an opportunity for children of Soldiers in the 4th Engineer Battalion and 43rd Sustainment Brigade to get a taste of what their parents do, and the event connected them in unexpected ways. “I think it’s awesome to learn,” said Esmerelda Mansfield, 10. “I haven’t been with my stepdad in the Army that long. It’s pretty amazing to find out what they do in the day.” Noah McMurray, 11, said he was eating the same meal, ready to eat, that his stepdad had eaten, beef brisket. “The MREs are actually pretty good,” said William Smithies, 11. The goal of the event was to raise funds in the event of a casualty among 4th Eng. Bn. Soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, said Capt. Kevin Balentine, rear detachment commander. “It all goes back to the Families,” he said. The day began with the oath of allegiance, many children taking the words literally as they repeated, “I, state your name.” After PRT, they split into teams and worked through various stations, such as a black-out maze with night vision goggles, a 45 degree rappel incline, a simulated minefield obstacle course and a first-aid station. The children also had the opportunity to climb into a buffalo, a heavily armored vehicle used to clear roadside bombs. The buffalo was especially meaningful to Adam Miller, 10. His father worked in one during his first deployment. “(It was) cool to go into the buffalo because nobody gets to go into it, but military kids,” he said. Many of the children have deployed parents, but some had parents who were there as volunteers or spectators. “I think this is a great event, and I’m so happy to see the Soldiers out here supporting the Families,” said Maj. Amy Jackson, executive officer, 43rd SB. “My daughter tells me she wants to be just like me, and this is her taste of basic training. She’s loving it.” The inspiration for the event came from the 555th Engineer Brigade, the battalion’s higher headquarters, said Hillary Mooney, family readiness support assistant, 4th Eng. Bn. The Joint Base Lewis-McChord-based brigade held a deployment camp for their children. “I think this has gone incredibly well,” Mooney said. “I was very pleased with the Soldier support. The kids have had a great time. I couldn’t be happier.” The engineers built the rappel incline and maze from scrap materials and taught the children Soldier tasks, such as marching, standing at attention and saluting. The day concluded with a game of capture the flag and the presentation of certificates of enlistment and dog tags. “The (noncommissioned officers) we work with went above and beyond,” said 1st Lt. Steven Henao-Escobar, officer in charge. “Kids notice when they put that level of work in. The point is, the kids get a realistic view of what their parents are doing. It’s challenging. It’s new, but it’s very rewarding.” Adam Miller, 10, gets his face painted with camouflage paint during the Jr. Vanguard Basic Training Day Camp, Saturday. Campgives childrentaste ofSoldierlife
Story and photos by Sgt. Jonathan C. Thibault 4th Combat Aviation Brigade Public Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division Securing a landing zone, hovering above an extraction point and rappelling down to hoist a casualty to safety were all second nature to Soldiers who conducted a joint training exercise for a downed aircraft simulation Aug. 6. Soldiers from the 759th Military Police Battalion and 2nd General Support Aviation Battalion, 4th Aviation Regiment, 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, took part in the training. “It was a culminating exercise,” said Lt. Col. Tyler Smith, battalion commander, 2nd GSAB, 4th Avn. Reg. “We were able to coordinate with 759th MP Bn. to exercise our air assault capability, coupled with their desire to train some of their elements on aerial reaction capabilities. It was a great training opportunity for us to incorporate our battalion and other units.” The MP’s mission was to conduct a ground search and secure and rescue, during a downed aircraft scenario. “It was a great experience for the Soldiers to learn all the basics, such as deploying and extracting from an aircraft, medevac training and pilot rescue,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Heberer, battalion commander, 759th MP Bn. “This exercise helped us train more than 150 Soldiers on aircraft operations and gave us the chance to train our dog handlers.” Company C, 2nd GSAB, 4th Avn. Reg., did gradual training to become proficient on hoisting casualties of a downed aircraft, and Soldiers said it was the highlight of the joint training exercise. “The hoist training we’ve done has been on anything dealing with aircraft emergencies, hand-and-arm signals, and learning how to run the cable up and down,” said Staff Sgt. Neil Schmidt, flight paramedic, Company C. “We start by using something like a cinder block, and then move on to actual people. When we did the hoist during the exercise, it was only a 30-foot hoist. We can do up to 250-foot hoist into a confined area.” Hoist training for this collabora- tive exercise began months ago by well-trained flight paramedics from Company C, said Smith. “This unit might have just started, but there is not a single Soldier doing the hoisting operations who hasn’t done it downrange or in another organization,” said Smith. “The Soldiers we have doing hoists have an expansive amount of experience with these types of operations. We will set up our standard operating procedures and become even more efficient then we already are.” Also, hoist training provides valuable lifesaving assets to units during deployments, said Smith. “Once preflight-ready, the medevac flight crew can be ready in nine to 15 minutes,” said Smith. “They are always racing to the sound of the guns. There could be enemy or not, could be dusty or not, could be a hoist or a landing, and the scope of injuries can be vast. The hardest part that a medevac flight crew has is they’re constantly training to be ready for anything.” The training conducted for the exercise gives the units many deployable assets and makes an impact on the capabilities of other units of Fort Carson. “It’s a great first step for us to demonstrate to the Fort Carson community that we are eager to be integrated into their training and serve as an arm for their training as they prepare for their ground force missions,” said Smith. “We are here to provide extra flexibility and add that third dimension for the brigade combat teams. We are excited to work with all Fort Carson teams and enjoy bringing them the gift of aviation.” 759th MP Bn. Soldiers said the training was successful and look forward to working with 4th CAB in the future. “Lt. Col. Smith and his battalion have been true professionals,” said Heberer. “It’s been a joy to work (with) this battalion. We’ve learned a lot from them about their aviation tactics, plans, and how they execute. I believe they learned about how we work, such as our ground tactic plans and how we use our military working dogs. This exercise has established a growing friendship between our two units for the next couple of years.” 21Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER20 MOUNTAINEER — Aug. 16, 2013 Spc.

The dedication ceremony for the Douglas A. McCleary Mail and Distribution Center was attended by family and friends of the man who sorted and delivered mail at Evans Army Community Hospital for 18 years. “He didn’t just do it as a job,” said Joel Sundquist, McCleary’s former supervisor. “He loved doing his job because he loved the Soldiers and the Family members and everyone that worked here.” At the ceremony, MEDDAC Commander Col. John McGrath referenced David Brin’s book “The Postman,” which was turned into the 1997 movie of the same name. The story follows a wandering minstrel (Kevin Costner) in a post-apocalyptic America, who finds an old postal truck, which contains the remains of a dead postman and his charge of letters. Costner’s character dons the dead man’s clothes and begins delivering the mail. “He becomes a postman and his efforts start to bind this country back together,” McGrath said. “What Doug did, in his role as postman for our hospital, was bind people together.” Sundquist said that McCleary set a standard in the mailroom that is still followed today. “He wouldn’t let the clinics pick up the mail for patients,” he said. “Doug would hand deliver their mail bedside. He said he did it because ‘it is all about the Soldier.’” Prior to working at EACH, McCleary himself served for almost 18 years in the Army, as an active duty Mimi McCleary is caught off guard as she and two of her children unveil the plaque that designates Evans Army Community Hospital mailroom the Douglas A. McCleary Mail and Distribution Center in honor of her deceased husband. The center was named in honor of Douglas McCleary who had worked as an EACH mail clerk for 18 years. See McCleary on Page 25

The lactation section of the Mountain Post Birthing Center received the Colorado Can Do 5! B.E.S.T. —Breastfeeding Excellence Starts Today — Award from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment during a ceremony in Denver July 26. The Colorado Can Do 5! initiative began in 2008 when staff members of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment teamed with the Colorado Breastfeeding Coalition and presented their five practices to key staff from 21 Colorado hospitals. “Evans is right up there with, if not in front of, other hospitals in the state on taking care of our mothers and their babies,” said Col. Patrick Ahearne, deputy commander for health services. “Now, folks will know that when they come to our clinic and deliver in our birthing center they are getting the latest and greatest, and our staff members are educated on the latest and greatest practices.” “EACH has worked to achieve this recognition by improving success rates during hospital stays and longevity of nursing the infant by providing outpatient (International Board Certified lactation consultant) support,” said Virgo Lajoie, one of Evans’ three lactation nurses. “This not only encourages a good start for the health of the newborn and the mother by feeding the infant breast milk in the first year of the life, but it is also in compliance with the American Pediatrics Academy recommendation of care of the newborn.” The five practices EACH was recognized for are: ” Infant is breastfed in the first hour after birth ” Infant is fed only breast milk in the hospital ” Infant stays in the hospital room with the mother ” Infant does not use a pacifier in the hospital ” Hospital staff gives mother a telephone number to call for help with breastfeeding after discharge In 2011, 13 Colorado hospitals were the first to be recognized for having policies that describe each of the five practices. Last year, another 20 were recognized at the Annual Colorado Breastfeeding Summit for implementing Colorado Can Do 5! policies. EACH was recognized this year during the Colorado Perinatal Care Council meeting. The hospital’s nursing staff supports the practice to place mother and baby in a skin-to-skin hold immediately after birth. This hold allows the infant to connect to mom and promotes latching within the first hour after birth, which Linda Jennings, assis- tant chief nurse officer in charge of the Mountain Post Birthing Center, calls the “Golden Hour.” Studies by the Healthy Infant and Children Program show that placing infants skin-to-skin with their mother after birth helps keep infants warmer and their blood sugar more stable. This helps infants burn calories so they lose less weight after birth as well as helps them learn to latch correctly for a successful feeding experience for infant and mom. That success is continued throughout the baby’s first stay at the Fort Carson hospital. The primary source of food for all newborns is breast milk. They will only receive formula if approved by parents or it is medically needed to sustain life. “EACH has removed all pacifiers from the hospital inventory in order to promote strong nursing skills in the infant. This lack of pacifier use in the early days of the infant learning to nurse also protects milk production and supports breastfeeding,” said Lajoie. The hospital’s lactation section consists of three IBCLCs who not only help with breastfeeding techniques while in the hospital, but they also offer three to five day follow-up support after mother and baby are discharged. But, their assistance doesn’t stop there. EACH has the Evans Army Breastfeeding Support Group, which meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 2-4 p.m. in the Pediatric Department. The group helps to encourage longevity and success in the continuation for nursing. “It is a mother-led group. They can talk about the sleepless nights and the worries of whether they have enough milk,” said Lori Yoshimiya, EACH lactation nurse. “We even have moms who are bottle feeding, because they also have a story to tell.” Ahearne said mothers who deliver at Evans are well prepared when they are discharged. “What the lactation section does for our moms, our babies and for the community is just absolutely fabulous,” said Ahearne. “When the new moms leave here with that education, that teaching, and they practice this out in the community, they are showing that it is a healthy practice.” Soldier, a reservist and a National Guardsman. His son Nicholas remembers being a child and watching his dad get ready for weekend drills. “I would see him polish his boots, iron his uniforms,” the younger McCleary said. “He was so excited to do it and had so much pride in his uniform and getting it ready. He took pride in his work no matter what it was.” Nicholas McCleary remembers seeing this pride again when he was a teenager. His dad was laid off from a federal job and had to get a job as a trash man to provide for his family. “I thought it must be kind of humiliating to pick up other people’s trash, but he never showed it,” Nicholas McCleary said. “He went about it with such pride. “And I really see that is what he did at this hospital. He did his work and he was proud to do it.” Upon McCleary’s death last November, his dedication to the mailroom, the hospital staff and its patients inspired fellow hospital employee Merrell Sellers to create a sign for the mailroom. The wooden sign had McCleary’s image burned into it and proclaimed the room as the Douglas A. McCleary Mailroom. When McGrath found out about the sign he said, “That’s a great idea, but let’s make this official.” “I said just give me a direction, and I’ll start running, and here we are today honoring a man who loved Soldiers so much that he went out of his way more times than I can count to make sure they got their mail,” Sundquist said. During the ceremony Sundquist and Sellers presented McCleary’s widow, Mimi, with a copy of the original “unofficial” mailroom sign. The back of her sign was filled with the signatures of her husband’s former co-workers. “It is so beautiful, it looks just like him,” said Mimi McCleary. “I’ll cherish this forever.” “These ceremonies are usually for high ranking officers, decorated war veterans or people who have made a breakthrough in medicine,” said Nicholas McCleary. “But that doesn’t apply to my dad. He was just my dad. But sometimes common men do great things.” from Page 22 McCleary “EACH has worked to archive this recognition by improving success rates during hospital stays and longevity of nursing the infant by providing outpatient (International Board Certified lactation consultant) support.” — Virgo La Joi

Clark 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division Sometimes it seems like the road up and ahead just never ends. Am I ever going to get to the end of this deployment to see my Family again? Will I ever get promoted? Will I ever get to retirement? Have you asked these or similar questions recently? I have. My first deployment to Iraq was like that. We left for 12 months and, at the half- way point, we were extended another three months. Just when the finish line seemed to appear, someone moved it farther away. Recently, I had an experience that taught me the value of keeping my eyes on the prize, or the finish line, and focusing less on my current struggle or pain. During block leave a couple of weeks ago, I traveled with my Family and some friends to Glacier National Park in Montana. After extensive touring in Europe’s Alps and now living in Colorado, I thought I knew mountains. The mountains in Glacier were a new kind of awesome for me. One of the park’s main attractions is Going to the Sun Road. This road bisects the park and is literally cut into the side of the mountains as it winds its way to the summit at Logan Pass. From my camp area it was 12 miles to the summit, six of which were uphill. The road is spectacular from a car, but my friend and I decided we wanted a different experience and chose to ride it on our bikes. The first six miles weren’t too bad. At mile six, however, the road seemed to go straight up. After about two more miles, I was in my lowest gear and had no more gears to use. I was just going to have to grind out the next four miles. With three miles to go the road makes a dramatic hairpin turn then straightens out, hugging close to the rocks. As I looked ahead, I could barely make out the Logan Pass Visitor’s Center, my finish line for this climb. With every painful pedal stroke, my mind and body wanted to turn around and enjoy a nice coast back to camp. Once I turned the corner and saw the finish, there was no way I was going to quit. Having the finish line in sight made all the difference as I finished up my ride and enjoyed the cruise back down. Jesus knew that we would all have seasons of life such as I had on my bike — seasons of disappointment, doubt and despair. He inspired Paul to write to the Philippians about pressing on toward the goal as they were struggling to envision the ultimate prize. Philippians 3:13-14 says, “Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.” Jesus and Paul are not talking about finally attaining a professional goal or finishing a deployment here, but the principle still applies — with God’s help, rise up out of your present struggles and keep the goal in mind. You might be thinking easier said than done, chaplain. I got it. One practice that helps is to keep a tangible reminder of your goal where you can see it. A friend of mine recently retired after 28 years of service. He kept a picture of his retirement house, which he saved for and bought, on his desk for quite some time. Anytime the road got rough, he imagined himself in the pool, surrounded by his friends and family, and it helped him drive on. Taking solace in the power of one’s spiritual beliefs is another way to overcome the struggles of the moment. At the top of Logan Pass the view was breathtaking and the 50 mph bike ride back down was exhilarating. Had I not found a way to rise up out of my pain and keep the pedals turning, I would have missed it all. This week remember to keep your eyes on the prize. “Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 3:13-14 Keep eyes on prize
27Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER Photo by Walt Johnson Mountaineer Sports Feature Story and photos by Walt Johnson Mountaineer staff One of the most physically- demanding workout programs is available at McKibben Physical Fitness Center Monday and Wednesday at 6 p.m. Armando Sosa, one of the post’s personal fitness trainers, holds a circuit training class that he says will help people experience movements such as kettle bell and TRX among other disciplines that will give them a good workout. Sosa said the workout tests a person’s coordination, balance, strength, endurance, cardio and every other physical conditioning discipline. Sosa said he goes through the program first so that people know what to expect and won’t be surprised by the intensity of the workouts. He also shows participants how to perform each exercise in a safe manner. Lorri Thorson has been through a session with the circuit program, and she said she believes in the benefits of the program so strongly that she is telling all her friends to try it. “I used to do Insanity workouts, and when I heard this class was going to be available and what it would entail, I was very excited to give (it) a shot,” Thorson said. “I found all the stations to be challenging, but the station that has challenged me the most is the station where I would get weights and (pull) them into my stomach and then drag them to another point ... it works my core like no other exercises ever worked it before. The first time I did it, I was sore for about five days, and it took me a while before I could laugh again. I just think this exercise is awesome.” Sosa said the program will take people out of their normal fitness training comfort zone by using different kinds of material. He said it is not every day that people will do a workout which involves a tire, a kettle bell and strongman pull. He said the program consists of participants starting at one station where they have one minute to complete the workout. Then, after a 10-second break, they move to the next station to begin the next phase of the program. Fitnessprogramoffers extremecircuittraining Steven Taylor, left, and Lorri Thorson take part in a station workout as they participate in the circuit training exercise program at McKibben Physical Fitness Center.

28 MOUNTAINEER — Aug. 16, 2013 Mountaineer Athlete of the Week Photo by Walt Johnson Casey Hallas Intramural athlete How did you get started playing sports? I started off playing T-ball when I was 6 or 7 years old. I graduated from T-ball to double-A baseball, and then I played baseball through high school. After high school, I started playing softball with my dad. I also played football when I was growing up. What was it like playing sports with your dad? He was my coach throughout Little League, so getting a chance to play with him when I was older was quite a thrill for me. What is your favorite moment in sports? While playing Pee Wee football, we won a national championship and, to this day, I consider that the best thing I’ve done in sports. I didn’t do anything special in a game, but it was great to be able to play the game. Who are your favorite professional athletes? I’m a big St. Louis Cardinals fan and a big David Freese fan. In football, I like the Miami Dolphins and I think Ryan Tannehill is a great young quarterback who made great improvements last year. What haven’t you done in sports that you would still like to do? I would like to play in another major competition such as the All-Army softball team. If I could make the All-Army team, I would consider that a great accomplishment. If you could meet any athlete, who would you want to meet? George Halas, the former football coach and owner of the Chicago Bears; I would mainly be interested in talking to him because I think there could be a family relationship there. People who don’t know me would be surprised to know that ... I don’t look like the typical athletic person, but I am very athletic. Many times it looks like I’ve been burned on the softball field, but I’ve got better instincts than most people believe I have, and I’m able to recover and make good plays.

Officials said the majority of golfers are active-duty servicemembers and retirees from Fort Carson, Peterson Air Force Base, the U.S. Air Force Academy, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station and Schriever Air Force Base. All proceeds go to Any Soldier, Inc., a program started after Sgt. Brian Horn was finally able to call home after his parents had been sending him care packages in Iraq for five months. Horn asked his parents to send more packages for other troop members. His parents, both military, quickly responded to the request by beginning the Any Soldier, Inc. campaign. Event organizers said a total of $52,000 has been raised to support troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The cost is $70 per person and includes range balls, carts with GPS, three mulligans, a barbecue, door prizes and more, according to event organizers.

33Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER32 MOUNTAINEER — Aug. 16, 2013 Story and photos by Nel Lampe Mountaineer staff People are drawn to the 16th Street pedestrian mall in downtown Denver for its shopping, entertain- ment and dining options as well as its ambiance. And, it’s a great place for people watching. Employees on lunch break, local citizens, groups of friends, family groups and tourists are in the busy mall. Sixteenth Street was closed to all motor traffic in 1982 and the street was turned into a pedestrian mall with a park-like island in the middle of the former street, with a lane on either side used by the free electric shuttle buses. The mall was designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei. The mall area is laid out in shades of red and gray granite in a pattern resembling a diamondback rattlesnake. Historic buildings house restaurants and stores, alongside skyscrapers and modern buildings. Sometimes special events, festivals and concerts are held in or near the mall. The park area contains trees, flowers, decorative lights and park benches. Street performers or musicians sometimes entertain. Several brightly decorated pianos are in the mall, and an occasional pianist may spontaneously play a few tunes. Merchandise and food carts are also along the mall, offering a selection of purses, jewelry, hot dogs or panini sandwiches. Visitors can spend hours along the mall, exploring, shopping or eating. Catch a movie, stop at the Da Vinci and Michelangelo exhibit at the Denver Pavilions, bowl some games or just relax. Or, use the free mall shuttle to get somewhere else. Buses run early to late, the entire length of the mall, about a mile, stopping at every intersection. Prominent street signs are at each bus stop. Pick up a downtown Denver map and a directory for the mall at the Denver information kiosk at 16th and California. There’s someone on duty throughout the day to answer questions. Find your destination on the map and catch the shuttle to save some steps. People headed to a Rockies game can ride a shuttle to Blake Street, which is four blocks from Coors Field. Take Arapahoe Street to the Denver Performing Arts Complex of theaters, and a block farther to the Colorado Convention Center. It’s a three-block walk to buses and light rail connections at Union Station on Wynkoop Street. On the opposite end of the line, it’s just a few blocks to the Colorado Capitol building and a few more blocks to other downtown area attractions such as the Denver Art Museum, History Colorado Center, Clyfford Still Museum and the Byers-Evans House Museum. To visit another trendy shopping and dining destination in downtown Denver, get off the shuttle at Larimer Street and walk a block to Larimer Square, where Denver was started in 1858. Gold had been found in what is now Colorado, but then was part of Kansas Territory. A group of gold seekers started a town on the banks of Cherry Creek. But another settler, Gen. William H. Larimer Jr., claimed the spot for himself and sent some men to Leavenworth, Kan., to file the claim. His men were the first to so Larimer got the claim and staked out a town, named the main street after himself and called the town Denver City, after James Denver, the Kansas Territory Governor. A hundred years later, the area was rundown and unsightly and known as skid row. It was restored in the 1960s and is now an upscale shopping and dining district. Places to see in the Pikes Peak area. Right: The Colorado Capitol and skyscrapers provide a backdrop for the pedestrian mall in downtown Denver, one of the city’s most popular attractions. The Denver Pavilions has 40 restaurants, shops, a bowling alley and a movie theater in its three-story facility on the 16th Street Mall. It also has underground parking. A group of friends ride red bikes from Denver B-cycle sharing system on the 16th Street Mall as a shuttle bus stops at an intersection on a Sunday afternoon. Above: People walk past a lunch crowd at Hard Rock Cafe’s outdoor area on the 16th Street Mall in Denver. Below: A boy plays one of the pianos on the 16th Street Mall as onlookers listen at the popular mall. Alternative ways to get around the mall include pedicabs, horse-drawn carriages and bikes. Denver B-cycle is a citywide public bike sharing system for short trips. Join up by going online or at one of the B-cycle kiosks around Denver and check out a red bike for the time desired. A B-cycle kiosk is near the Denver Pavilions at 1550 Glenarm Place. Bikes can be picked up and dropped off at any B-cycle station. Check the website at http://denver.bcycle.com for information. The Denver Pavilions is a shopping center by the mall, which includes a multi-screen United Artists theater complex and the Lucky Strike (upscale) bowling alley with an extensive menu. Banana Republic, Claire’s, H&M and Hollywood Cowgirl are stores in the Pavilions. Tabor Center is another mall at the mall, with a convenience store, The Palm Restaurant, a food court and stores and businesses inside the building. But people don’t need to leave the mall to find things to do. There are myriad places to dine in the vicinity of the 16th Street Mall, including more than two dozen outdoor cafes. In addition to sandwich shops and delicatessens, there are juice places, coffee shops, bakeries, salad places, McDonald’s, Johnny Rockets, frozen yogurt shops and the Cheesecake Factory. There’s the Hard Rock Café, Paramount Café, the Tilted Kilt and Katie Mullen’s Irish Pub and Eatery. For fine dining, try Maggiano’s Little Italy, Marlowe’s or walk to the Brown Palace Hotel on 17th Street for four-star dining or afternoon tea in a luxurious historic hotel. It’s helpful to look at a map of downtown Denver and locate 16th Street to get an idea of the downtown layout. Although Denver is mostly laid out in a north-south, east-west grid, downtown Denver is laid out in a northeast-southwest grid, thanks to Gen. Larimer’s design. It’s about 70 miles to Denver via Interstate 25. Head for the sky- scrapers. The Colfax Exit runs past the capitol building and is south of downtown. The area can also be accessed by Speer Boulevard. Many streets downtown are one-way. Park at meters along downtown streets or in commercial parking lots. There are construction projects presently underway at the mall. enver’stopdestinationD 16th Street Mall Just the Facts • TRAVEL TIME — 1 hour plus • FOR AGES — anyone • TYPE — pedestrian mall • FUN FACTOR — ★★★★★ (Out of 5 stars) • WALLET DAMAGE — NO ENTRY $ = Less than $20 $$ = $21 to $40 $$$ = $41 to $60 $$$$ = $61 to $80 (BASED ON A FAMILY OF FOUR)

Providing cover PartofCarsonhistorycomingdownBy Andrea Stone Mountaineer staff The buildings have stood for nearly 70 years, but seven of them are slated to come down in the coming months. At its heyday during World War II, the Old Hospital Complex on what was then Camp Carson consisted of 57 buildings capable of handling about 3,000 patients, according to documents from the National Park Service. Three of the buildings were nominated for the National Register of Historic Places, but demolition has begun on the remaining ones, located east of Carson Middle School. The buildings, which were built in the 1940s, contain asbestos and lead paint, leading to challenges in their demolition. “Getting it cleaned up is a lot better because the paint has been flaking off for the last 20 years,” said Dave Martin, environmental protection specialist with the Directorate of PublicWorks. “We’re actually cleaning up a site that’s more hazardous than the demolition.” The first building they began work on is asbestos free, but the workers are treating it as though it had asbestos so they can practice their procedures. Asbestos, which occurs naturally, was often used as a building material, and is safe as long as it’s undisturbed. When it’s disturbed, fibers can become airborne and cause respiratory problems, Martin said. To prevent that, air monitors are placed around See Demolition on Page 3

Andrew J. Reed Paralegal specialist, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division Iron Horse Strong? What makes me I joined the Army Feb. 25, 2009, simply to serve my country in an official capacity. I wanted to serve in a way that not everybody could. Serving my country means sacrifice, putting the needs of others before my own. I am Iron Horse Strong because of my temperance, my discernment, my discretion, my mercy, and, last but not least, my faith in God. Being Iron Horse Strong means having the will and the heart to stay true to what you believe in and using that to get back up when life knocks you down; to bounce back from adversity, and stand tall in the face of challenges and obstacles. Raymond F. Chandler III Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond T. Odierno General, United States Army Chief of Staff John M. McHugh Secretary of the Army Antiterrorism Awareness Month Everyone must be vigilantEditor’s note: Army leaders released the following letter in observance of Antiterrorism Awareness Month. August marks the Army’s fourth annual observance of Antiterrorism Awareness Month. We have worked hard to confront the ever-present threat of terrorist attacks against our nation and our Army. Since we began observing Antiterrorism Awareness Month, we have greatly improved community awareness and understanding of the seriousness of the terrorist threat. Over the past year alone, we’ve improved threat information sharing, revised our Antiterrorism Strategic Plan, integrated antiterrorism into the Army Protection Program, and identified new focus areas, such as cyber threats. All of these actions have helped us heighten awareness of the persistent threat posed by terrorists and encouraged our vigilance to prevent acts of terrorism. As we continue to improve our efforts each year to keep our Army Family safe, we have learned that every member of the Army community must play a role in this important mission. Effective antiterrorism measures require a combination of great leadership, a professional police force and active community involvement. We must all be vigilant, continuously watchful for threats and hazards and prepared to report them when we see them. We must also remain aware of our situation and our surroundings, noticing when something or someone seems out of place. Maintaining vigilance and encouraging situational awareness are guiding principles that will help ensure the safety and security of our Soldiers, civilians, Families, infrastructure and information. Leaders at all levels should provide support to the two important focus areas of this year’s observance: encouraging the reporting of suspicious activity and improving use of social media for community outreach. We encourage all commands to sponsor events and promote steps that embrace a community approach to safeguarding our Army. The strength of our defense is our ability to work as a team to protect our people and our installations.

    the demolition site,with several of the monitors located near Iroquois Village, the housing area that borders the demolition site. Air is sucked through a filter and, at the end of the day, the filters are collected and analyzed under a micro- scope. If the fiber count is above a certain threshold, the samples are sent to a lab in Denver to be checked for asbestos fibers. “It’s the most stringent sampling there is,” said Aaron Ardourel, lead air monitoring specialist for Walsh Environmental. As demolition proceeds, workers spray water on the building to keep fibers from becoming airborne, and if the wind picks up, work stops. There are two air speed indicators on the site. If the wind blows more than 12 mph for more than 20 minutes, they stop, said Rick Hughes, site safety manager with Ayuda Management Corp. “We have zero detection,” he said. “One (asbestos) fiber, and we shut down.” DPW’s Environmental Division also monitors the site to ensure compli- ance with regulations. Inspectors from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment inspected the site Aug. 8, and will continue to conduct inspections, Martin said. In addition, the Army Corps of Engineers has a contracting officer representative who monitors the contract to make sure they follow the rules. Workers will be required to wear disposable suits and respirators when they work on asbestos-containing buildings. Regulations from the Office of Safety and Health Administration require them to take those precautions when they work around asbestos for more than 30 days per year. As the buildings are torn down, the debris will be wrapped in plastic sheeting and sealed before being hauled to landfill sites, Hughes said. More housing is planned once the site is cleared, but the presence of lead paint on the exterior of the buildings has created its own difficulties. Lead, also a naturally occurring substance, can be toxic in larger quantities. “They’re going to build housing in that area, so we don’t want that lead to get down in the soil, and then the kids go out and play on the playground or go out and dig in the backyard, and that paint’s still there,” Martin said. Once the rubble is removed, work- ers from the DPW environmental office will test the soil to make sure it’s safe for new housing. People should avoid the area while work is going on. “People need to stay away. This is a construction site,” Hughes said. “We need to keep them out. If anybody needs anything, we’re more than happy to accommodate them, but let’s do it safely.” 3Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER YOUR USED CAR HEADQUARTERS!

Parker 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office Family, friends and co-workers gathered at the Mountain Post Warrior Memorial Aug. 8 to honor the year anniversary of the passing of four warriors. Command Sgt. Maj. Kevin Griffin, along with Maj. Thomas Kennedy, Air Force Maj. Walter Gray and U.S. Agency for International Development civilian Ragaei Abdelfattah, were killed in action, while several others were wounded, on a patrol in the Kunar province of Afghanistan. One of the wounded, Capt. Florent Groberg, commander, Personal Security Detachment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, who spent the last year in rehabilitation, wrote about Griffin’s honor and sacrifice. Pamela Griffin read Groberg’s words before the release of the balloons to honor her husband and the other three men who were lost that day. “I respected the man immensely and learned as much as I could from him,” Groberg said. “He died that day a hero, but not only a war hero, but a hero husband, father, son, leader and friend.” Griffin was serving as the 4th IBCT senior enlisted adviser. Kennedy was the brigade fire support officer and Gray was an air liaison officer and flight commander for the Fort Carson-based 13th Air Support Operations Squadron. Lt. Col.

    5Aug. 16, 2013— MOUNTAINEER Fort Carson opens EBHT clinicStory and photo by Spc. Nathan Thome 4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Soldiers gained a new tool to remain Iron Horse Strong, after a ribbon cutting ceremony officially opened the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team Embedded Behavioral Health Team 1 clinic on Fort Carson, Aug. 6. “This building is a symbol; it’s a symbol of the leadership’s commitment to the behavioral health of our Soldiers, and the close-working rela- tionship that we have with all the incredible members of Embedded Behavioral Health Team 1,” said Maj. Collin Brooks, executive officer, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division. The building supports an important function in the Army. The Fort Carson Embedded Behavioral Health Service began in 2009, with the intention of uniting the medical mission of ensuring the fighting strength, with the command mission of fighting and winning America’s wars, said U.S. Public Health Service Capt. Jennifer Card, EBHT1 chief. “These combined missions were joined together with the introduction of the Embedded Behavioral Health System of care at Fort Carson,” said Card. “As these services flourished in providing care for all of the 4th Inf. Div. brigades, the Department of the Army determined that the Fort Carson model for behavioral health services would become the standard for the force in 2011.” The clinic is the latest, and for now, the final freestanding clinic to support the 4th Inf. Div. “This clinic is strictly for covering 1st Brigade Soldiers,” said Card. “There are five behav- ioral health teams on post, and this is the fifth and final building.” Prior to the clinic, 1st ABCT received care out of the Mountain Post Behavioral Health Clinic, and 4th Brigade Support Battalion’s company operations facility. “This is our lobby, and it’s much bigger than where we were before; it was determined that where we were wasn’t going to be big or sufficient enough for all of us, so we got our own building,” said Card. “There are 13 provider offices in each team building. We have a multi-disciplinary team made up of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurse case managers and site-bound technicians.” The new building was a joint effort between the 1st ABCT and the Medical Department Activity, with a placement of the building in the 1ABCT footprint. Card said the team has already improved behavioral health outcomes, allowing more treatment for Soldiers, and has assisted with the reduction of the stigma of receiving behavioral health care. She said that Soldiers began treatment in the new facility that morning. Stacey Vowels, medical support assis- tant, EBHT1, used to work at the Mountain Post Behavioral Health Clinic before getting assigned to the new clinic. “I’m actually really excited about the move; we finally get our own building, it’s a different environment,” said Vowels. “We work really well together as a team, and we’re right next to our brigade. We have great people, and they go above and beyond to get the Soldiers the help that they need.” Sgt. Danisha St. Ann, behavioral health noncommissioned officer, Company B, 10th Combat Support Hospital, works with Vowels, and is one of the only Soldiers working at the clinic. “I screen patients for mental conditions, and help them in any way that I can,” said St. Ann. “I’ve been doing this for two years, and I love doing it. I’ve always done customer service, and this is the best customer service job in the Army.” St. Ann said the transfer from the main Col. John McGrath, left, commander, Fort Carson Medical Department Activity; U.S. Public Health Service Capt. Jennifer Card, Embedded Behavioral Health Team 1 chief; and Maj. Collin Brooks, executive officer, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, cut the ribbon to mark the official opening of the EBHT1 clinic Aug. 6. See Clinic on Page 12

Andrew Ingram 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division UDAIRI RANGE, Kuwait — The 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, officially took over operations at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, as the battalion uncased its colors in a ceremony July 29. Lt. Col. Larry Burris and Command Sgt. Maj. Troy Henderson, commander and senior enlisted leader, 1st Bn., 66th Armor Reg., removed the case and unfurled the colors during the ceremony. Col. Joel Tyler, commander, 1st ABCT, welcomed the Iron Knights to Kuwait and charged them to remain vigilant. “Our mission here is very impor- tant,” Tyler said. “We don’t know what could happen in the next few months and I need all of my Soldiers to be ready for anything.” After uncasing the colors, Burris outlined the battalion’s plans for the coming months. “This deployment isn’t about (1st Bn., 66th Armor Reg.), and it isn’t about the ‘Raider’ Brigade; it’s about our Kuwaiti partners,” he said. “We will undergo challenging training together. At the end of the day, the most important thing we do here is work with these Kuwaiti brigades.” The Iron Knights arrived in country during one of the hottest months of the year, setting up and verifying their vehicles’ and equipment’s functionality in temperatures reaching 130 degrees. Henderson commended his Soldiers’ ability to adapt to the extreme climate and challenged them to set the standard for Camp Buehring units during their partnership missions and daily tasks. “We’re already doing good things,” Henderson said. “You are displaying the discipline that I expect from this battalion. This is a team effort; we are going to partner with the Kuwaiti forces. We can learn a lot from each other, and we should look forward to continuing the tradition of respect between our forces.” The Iron Knights join the Raider Brigade’s 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment; 4th Brigade Support Battalion; and 1st Special Troops Battalion, which arrived in Kuwait in February. “I am exceptionally proud to have the Iron Knights here,” said Tyler. “I am glad to see your flag high in the wind. Take care of each other while you’re out here, take care of your Families back home, and be safe.” Command Sgt. Maj. Troy Henderson, senior enlisted leader, 1st Battalion, 66th Armor Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, addresses his Soldiers during an uncasing ceremony at Camp Buehring, Kuwait, July 29.

Nathan Thome 4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office More than 40 Fort Carson single and geographical bachelor Soldiers attended the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers Army Family Action Plan conference at the Elkhorn Conference Center, to discuss issues and concerns on post, Aug. 7-8. The conference was an opportunity for single Soldiers to voice their concerns and present ideas to improve the Army and Fort Carson, according to Spc. Anthony Castillo, installation BOSS president. “It gives Soldiers a platform to promote change,” Castillo said. The top issues presented were: Soldiers losing money because of a meal card they can’t or don’t use; DFAC hours don’t accommodate Soldiers who work odd hours, and only one DFAC is open on the weekend; lack of furniture, appliances and security for some unit barracks; unfair visitation rules during the week and weekend; and shelter for vehicles in barracks and dining facility parking lots to hinder weather damage. During the conference, the Soldiers were assigned to one of four groups and talked with a facilitator about issues they wanted addressed. Many of the Soldiers’ issues were quality of life issues, which still get addressed, even if they aren’t fixed during the AFAP conference, said Castillo. “They bring up a lot of issues; the biggest ones are always about the dining facilities and barracks,” Castillo said. “For example, some barracks are worse than others, or the dining facilities are not open 24 hours, and don’t adjust (the hours) on the weekends.” On the first day of the conference, each of the four groups went to its own room to highlight issues and develop solutions. All Soldiers removed their rank for the duration of the conference, to signify that rank wasn’t relevant to the discussions. “By having the Soldiers bring up concerns, we’re giving them a voice,” said Toni Savino, recreation specialist, entertainment branch, Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. “Every Soldier has the potential to have an idea that will change the Army for the better.” During the second day, each group narrowed down its issues to five. After everyone reconvened in the main conference room, each group selected a spokesperson to talk about its concerns and possible solutions. “After the issues are presented here and voted on, they will be taken to the next installation AFAP conference and addressed there,” said Savino. After each group presented its five issues, Soldiers in attendance received five stickers to vote with, narrowing down the total 20 issues to only five, which would then be presented to Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Steven O. Green. Soldiers volunteered to attend the 9Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER FamilyOwnedand Operatedfor Over43years. CommittedtotheCommunityweserve.

Antonio Holmes, cannon crewmember and BOSS representative, Battery B, 4th Battalion, 42nd Field Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th infantry Division. “I thought I’d come to this so I could tell my company repre- sentatives, and put out in battalion formations what is going on around post and what events will be happening.” Holmes said he believes that BOSS and the conference empowers all Soldiers, and that they should get involved and learn about what the organization has to offer. from Page 9 Concerns behavioral health building to the clinic she now works at mainly benefits the Soldiers. “The transfer from the main building to this building is for the Soldiers, to be closer to their area, where they don’t have to drive or find a ride to the main location; it’s conve- nient,” St. Ann said. “The 1st ABCT Soldiers can be seen here and feel more comfort- able in their own area.” By teaching them coping skills, as well as getting them to admit to what’s going on and seek help, St. Ann said she can affect the lives of Soldiers and their Families. “I don’t believe in that stigma, because if you’re not healthy both mentally and physically, then how are you going to be able to perform well at your job?” she said. “It doesn’t matter what rank you are, I’ve seen all ranks come in here; it doesn’t matter who you are, if you need help, you should get help.” 1st ABCT has a team downrange that is building up its own resiliency center, which should be open in the next month. EBHT1 currently coor- dinates with the downrange team on a weekly basis to man- age different behavioral health issues with Soldiers who may be coming back early, or are preparing for redeployment. from Page 5 Clinic Photo by Spc.

    15Aug. 16, 2013— MOUNTAINEER Participants in the Hired program listen to feedback from their mock interviews. The students were interviewed by volunteers from Security Service Federal Credit Union. The program gives high school students the opportunity to gain work experience and training. Teens hired through HiredStory and photos by Andrea Stone Mountaineer staff Xavia Powell never thought she’d get a job, but her experience through the Hired program opened doors for the 19 year old. The program, offered through Child, Youth and School Services, gives high school students an opportunity to learn employment skills — such as resume and cover letter writing and interviewing — and to serve an apprenticeship at various locations on post. “It’s a good opportunity, not only with work experience, but everything that goes into it,” Powell said. “I didn’t think I’d get a job, but look at me.” Last summer, through the Hired program she worked as a teacher’s aide at the West Child Care Center. When an opening for a regular employee came up, she applied, and was hired in October as a child and youth program assistant. “It’s learning day-by-day, but it’s really rewarding,” she said. “You get to see a lot of things that other people don’t see, like when Little Johnny takes his first step.” Hired, an Armywide program, began four years ago as a way to provide youths valuable work experience. “What we see a lot is that youths are being told they need work experience to get a job, but no one is willing to hire them to get the work experience,” said Denise Dorsett, workforce preparation specialist with CYSS. Each Hired session lasts 12 weeks, and participants are required to do 180 hours of work and attend six training classes. “This is a hard program,” Dorsett said. “There’s a lot more involved in it than just working at Taco Bell. They have to come to the trainings. They have to do the hours.” At the end of the session, mock interviews are conducted by volunteers from Security Service Federal Credit Union. “For us, it’s really important to provide workplace education to young people, because they’re going to be our future leaders and our future employees,” said Rebecca Bumgarner, service center manager, SSFCU. “It’s our way of giving back.” The process for students begins with a written application, an interview and short orientation with Dorsett. She explains the requirements of the program and the different opportunities available on post. Participants can work at the CDC, the Outdoor Recreation Center, Cheyenne Shadows Golf Course, the Outdoor Pool and other locations. They can do up to two sessions per calendar year for three years, with a maximum of six sessions, and can work at the same place for each session or different places every time. If participants complete all requirements of the program, they receive a stipend, from $500 to $750. The amount of the stipend increases with each session, to encourage them to do more than one, but it takes about two months after the end of the session for students to receive their money. “Because they don’t get paid, there has to be a high level of commitment with these kids,” Dorsett said. The goal of the program is to, not only provide them with work experience and employment skills, but also give them a broad understanding of how their work site functions. “If you want to work in child care, you get an idea what it’s like,” Dorsett said. “You may have an image in your head that has nothing to do with what it actually is.” Sean Kinoff, 17, has taken advantage of that opportunity with all three of his Hired sessions. He’s worked at the Outdoor Pool, Outdoor Rec, and he just finished a 12-week session at the Auto Crafts Center, his favorite location. “I get to see something new every day,” he said. “Yesterday I saw a ’58 Buick Roadmaster.” Ramel Peoples, 16, just completed his first Hired session as a lifeguard. “I liked it,” he said. “I was motivated. I learned that being a lifeguard is not an easy job. … You have to be calm about it. If someone is freaking out, you can’t freak out or you’ll sink.” The Hired sessions run quarterly, and a new session will begin in mid-September. About 50-60 students participate in the summer sessions and 10-15 in the others. “Close to 98 percent (of participants) complete,” Dorsett said. “I have very few that actually drop out. I’m kind of persistent.” If apprentices don’t like their job or the location they’re assigned, she will move them to another location. “I try to exhaust everything before I say, ‘OK, this is just not going to work,’” she said. Students, 15-18, who are interested in participating in the next Hired session can contact Dorsett at 524-2457. Michael Olson, 15, answers questions during an interview with Sanja Romanishan, a volunteer from Security Service Federal Credit Union. The mock interviews were part of workforce training offered to high school students through the Hired program.

The Jr. Vanguard Basic Training Day “Recruits” learn to work as a team as they navigate a simulated minefield during the Jr. Vanguard Basic Training Day Camp, Saturday. The event was put on by the 4th Engineer Battalion and was open to children and friends of 4th Eng. Bn. and 43rd Sustainment Brigade Soldiers. Soldiers from the 4th Engineer Battalion train “recruits” on proper marching technique during the Jr. Vanguard Basic Training Day Camp, Saturday. The event was put on by the 4th Eng. Bn. and was open to children and friends of 4th Eng. Bn. and 43rd Sustainment Brigade Soldiers. Camp was an opportunity for children of Soldiers in the 4th Engineer Battalion and 43rd Sustainment Brigade to get a taste of what their parents do, and the event connected them in unexpected ways. “I think it’s awesome to learn,” said Esmerelda Mansfield, 10. “I haven’t been with my stepdad in the Army that long. It’s pretty amazing to find out what they do in the day.” Noah McMurray, 11, said he was eating the same meal, ready to eat, that his stepdad had eaten, beef brisket. “The MREs are actually pretty good,” said William Smithies, 11. The goal of the event was to raise funds in the event of a casualty among 4th Eng. Bn. Soldiers deployed to Afghanistan, said Capt. Kevin Balentine, rear detachment commander. “It all goes back to the Families,” he said. The day began with the oath of allegiance, many children taking the words literally as they repeated, “I, state your name.” After PRT, they split into teams and worked through various stations, such as a black-out maze with night vision goggles, a 45 degree rappel incline, a simulated minefield obstacle course and a first-aid station. The children also had the opportunity to climb into a buffalo, a heavily armored vehicle used to clear roadside bombs. The buffalo was especially meaningful to Adam Miller, 10. His father worked in one during his first deployment. “(It was) cool to go into the buffalo because nobody gets to go into it, but military kids,” he said. Many of the children have deployed parents, but some had parents who were there as volunteers or spectators. “I think this is a great event, and I’m so happy to see the Soldiers out here supporting the Families,” said Maj. Amy Jackson, executive officer, 43rd SB. “My daughter tells me she wants to be just like me, and this is her taste of basic training. She’s loving it.” The inspiration for the event came from the 555th Engineer Brigade, the battalion’s higher headquarters, said Hillary Mooney, family readiness support assistant, 4th Eng. Bn. The Joint Base Lewis-McChord-based brigade held a deployment camp for their children. “I think this has gone incredibly well,” Mooney said. “I was very pleased with the Soldier support. The kids have had a great time. I couldn’t be happier.” The engineers built the rappel incline and maze from scrap materials and taught the children Soldier tasks, such as marching, standing at attention and saluting. The day concluded with a game of capture the flag and the presentation of certificates of enlistment and dog tags. “The (noncommissioned officers) we work with went above and beyond,” said 1st Lt. Steven Henao-Escobar, officer in charge. “Kids notice when they put that level of work in. The point is, the kids get a realistic view of what their parents are doing. It’s challenging. It’s new, but it’s very rewarding.” Adam Miller, 10, gets his face painted with camouflage paint during the Jr. Vanguard Basic Training Day Camp, Saturday. Campgives childrentaste ofSoldierlife

    Story and photosby Sgt. Jonathan C. Thibault 4th Combat Aviation Brigade Public Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division Securing a landing zone, hovering above an extraction point and rappelling down to hoist a casualty to safety were all second nature to Soldiers who conducted a joint training exercise for a downed aircraft simulation Aug. 6. Soldiers from the 759th Military Police Battalion and 2nd General Support Aviation Battalion, 4th Aviation Regiment, 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, took part in the training. “It was a culminating exercise,” said Lt. Col. Tyler Smith, battalion commander, 2nd GSAB, 4th Avn. Reg. “We were able to coordinate with 759th MP Bn. to exercise our air assault capability, coupled with their desire to train some of their elements on aerial reaction capabilities. It was a great training opportunity for us to incorporate our battalion and other units.” The MP’s mission was to conduct a ground search and secure and rescue, during a downed aircraft scenario. “It was a great experience for the Soldiers to learn all the basics, such as deploying and extracting from an aircraft, medevac training and pilot rescue,” said Lt. Col. Christopher Heberer, battalion commander, 759th MP Bn. “This exercise helped us train more than 150 Soldiers on aircraft operations and gave us the chance to train our dog handlers.” Company C, 2nd GSAB, 4th Avn. Reg., did gradual training to become proficient on hoisting casualties of a downed aircraft, and Soldiers said it was the highlight of the joint training exercise. “The hoist training we’ve done has been on anything dealing with aircraft emergencies, hand-and-arm signals, and learning how to run the cable up and down,” said Staff Sgt. Neil Schmidt, flight paramedic, Company C. “We start by using something like a cinder block, and then move on to actual people. When we did the hoist during the exercise, it was only a 30-foot hoist. We can do up to 250-foot hoist into a confined area.” Hoist training for this collabora- tive exercise began months ago by well-trained flight paramedics from Company C, said Smith. “This unit might have just started, but there is not a single Soldier doing the hoisting operations who hasn’t done it downrange or in another organization,” said Smith. “The Soldiers we have doing hoists have an expansive amount of experience with these types of operations. We will set up our standard operating procedures and become even more efficient then we already are.” Also, hoist training provides valuable lifesaving assets to units during deployments, said Smith. “Once preflight-ready, the medevac flight crew can be ready in nine to 15 minutes,” said Smith. “They are always racing to the sound of the guns. There could be enemy or not, could be dusty or not, could be a hoist or a landing, and the scope of injuries can be vast. The hardest part that a medevac flight crew has is they’re constantly training to be ready for anything.” The training conducted for the exercise gives the units many deployable assets and makes an impact on the capabilities of other units of Fort Carson. “It’s a great first step for us to demonstrate to the Fort Carson community that we are eager to be integrated into their training and serve as an arm for their training as they prepare for their ground force missions,” said Smith. “We are here to provide extra flexibility and add that third dimension for the brigade combat teams. We are excited to work with all Fort Carson teams and enjoy bringing them the gift of aviation.” 759th MP Bn. Soldiers said the training was successful and look forward to working with 4th CAB in the future. “Lt. Col. Smith and his battalion have been true professionals,” said Heberer. “It’s been a joy to work (with) this battalion. We’ve learned a lot from them about their aviation tactics, plans, and how they execute. I believe they learned about how we work, such as our ground tactic plans and how we use our military working dogs. This exercise has established a growing friendship between our two units for the next couple of years.” 21Aug. 16, 2013 — MOUNTAINEER20 MOUNTAINEER — Aug. 16, 2013 Spc.

The dedication ceremony for the Douglas A. McCleary Mail and Distribution Center was attended by family and friends of the man who sorted and delivered mail at Evans Army Community Hospital for 18 years. “He didn’t just do it as a job,” said Joel Sundquist, McCleary’s former supervisor. “He loved doing his job because he loved the Soldiers and the Family members and everyone that worked here.” At the ceremony, MEDDAC Commander Col. John McGrath referenced David Brin’s book “The Postman,” which was turned into the 1997 movie of the same name. The story follows a wandering minstrel (Kevin Costner) in a post-apocalyptic America, who finds an old postal truck, which contains the remains of a dead postman and his charge of letters. Costner’s character dons the dead man’s clothes and begins delivering the mail. “He becomes a postman and his efforts start to bind this country back together,” McGrath said. “What Doug did, in his role as postman for our hospital, was bind people together.” Sundquist said that McCleary set a standard in the mailroom that is still followed today. “He wouldn’t let the clinics pick up the mail for patients,” he said. “Doug would hand deliver their mail bedside. He said he did it because ‘it is all about the Soldier.’” Prior to working at EACH, McCleary himself served for almost 18 years in the Army, as an active duty Mimi McCleary is caught off guard as she and two of her children unveil the plaque that designates Evans Army Community Hospital mailroom the Douglas A. McCleary Mail and Distribution Center in honor of her deceased husband. The center was named in honor of Douglas McCleary who had worked as an EACH mail clerk for 18 years. See McCleary on Page 25

The lactation section of the Mountain Post Birthing Center received the Colorado Can Do 5! B.E.S.T. —Breastfeeding Excellence Starts Today — Award from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment during a ceremony in Denver July 26. The Colorado Can Do 5! initiative began in 2008 when staff members of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment teamed with the Colorado Breastfeeding Coalition and presented their five practices to key staff from 21 Colorado hospitals. “Evans is right up there with, if not in front of, other hospitals in the state on taking care of our mothers and their babies,” said Col. Patrick Ahearne, deputy commander for health services. “Now, folks will know that when they come to our clinic and deliver in our birthing center they are getting the latest and greatest, and our staff members are educated on the latest and greatest practices.” “EACH has worked to achieve this recognition by improving success rates during hospital stays and longevity of nursing the infant by providing outpatient (International Board Certified lactation consultant) support,” said Virgo Lajoie, one of Evans’ three lactation nurses. “This not only encourages a good start for the health of the newborn and the mother by feeding the infant breast milk in the first year of the life, but it is also in compliance with the American Pediatrics Academy recommendation of care of the newborn.” The five practices EACH was recognized for are: ” Infant is breastfed in the first hour after birth ” Infant is fed only breast milk in the hospital ” Infant stays in the hospital room with the mother ” Infant does not use a pacifier in the hospital ” Hospital staff gives mother a telephone number to call for help with breastfeeding after discharge In 2011, 13 Colorado hospitals were the first to be recognized for having policies that describe each of the five practices. Last year, another 20 were recognized at the Annual Colorado Breastfeeding Summit for implementing Colorado Can Do 5! policies. EACH was recognized this year during the Colorado Perinatal Care Council meeting. The hospital’s nursing staff supports the practice to place mother and baby in a skin-to-skin hold immediately after birth. This hold allows the infant to connect to mom and promotes latching within the first hour after birth, which Linda Jennings, assis- tant chief nurse officer in charge of the Mountain Post Birthing Center, calls the “Golden Hour.” Studies by the Healthy Infant and Children Program show that placing infants skin-to-skin with their mother after birth helps keep infants warmer and their blood sugar more stable. This helps infants burn calories so they lose less weight after birth as well as helps them learn to latch correctly for a successful feeding experience for infant and mom. That success is continued throughout the baby’s first stay at the Fort Carson hospital. The primary source of food for all newborns is breast milk. They will only receive formula if approved by parents or it is medically needed to sustain life. “EACH has removed all pacifiers from the hospital inventory in order to promote strong nursing skills in the infant. This lack of pacifier use in the early days of the infant learning to nurse also protects milk production and supports breastfeeding,” said Lajoie. The hospital’s lactation section consists of three IBCLCs who not only help with breastfeeding techniques while in the hospital, but they also offer three to five day follow-up support after mother and baby are discharged. But, their assistance doesn’t stop there. EACH has the Evans Army Breastfeeding Support Group, which meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month from 2-4 p.m. in the Pediatric Department. The group helps to encourage longevity and success in the continuation for nursing. “It is a mother-led group. They can talk about the sleepless nights and the worries of whether they have enough milk,” said Lori Yoshimiya, EACH lactation nurse. “We even have moms who are bottle feeding, because they also have a story to tell.” Ahearne said mothers who deliver at Evans are well prepared when they are discharged. “What the lactation section does for our moms, our babies and for the community is just absolutely fabulous,” said Ahearne. “When the new moms leave here with that education, that teaching, and they practice this out in the community, they are showing that it is a healthy practice.” Soldier, a reservist and a National Guardsman. His son Nicholas remembers being a child and watching his dad get ready for weekend drills. “I would see him polish his boots, iron his uniforms,” the younger McCleary said. “He was so excited to do it and had so much pride in his uniform and getting it ready. He took pride in his work no matter what it was.” Nicholas McCleary remembers seeing this pride again when he was a teenager. His dad was laid off from a federal job and had to get a job as a trash man to provide for his family. “I thought it must be kind of humiliating to pick up other people’s trash, but he never showed it,” Nicholas McCleary said. “He went about it with such pride. “And I really see that is what he did at this hospital. He did his work and he was proud to do it.” Upon McCleary’s death last November, his dedication to the mailroom, the hospital staff and its patients inspired fellow hospital employee Merrell Sellers to create a sign for the mailroom. The wooden sign had McCleary’s image burned into it and proclaimed the room as the Douglas A. McCleary Mailroom. When McGrath found out about the sign he said, “That’s a great idea, but let’s make this official.” “I said just give me a direction, and I’ll start running, and here we are today honoring a man who loved Soldiers so much that he went out of his way more times than I can count to make sure they got their mail,” Sundquist said. During the ceremony Sundquist and Sellers presented McCleary’s widow, Mimi, with a copy of the original “unofficial” mailroom sign. The back of her sign was filled with the signatures of her husband’s former co-workers. “It is so beautiful, it looks just like him,” said Mimi McCleary. “I’ll cherish this forever.” “These ceremonies are usually for high ranking officers, decorated war veterans or people who have made a breakthrough in medicine,” said Nicholas McCleary. “But that doesn’t apply to my dad. He was just my dad. But sometimes common men do great things.” from Page 22 McCleary “EACH has worked to archive this recognition by improving success rates during hospital stays and longevity of nursing the infant by providing outpatient (International Board Certified lactation consultant) support.” — Virgo La Joi

Clark 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division Sometimes it seems like the road up and ahead just never ends. Am I ever going to get to the end of this deployment to see my Family again? Will I ever get promoted? Will I ever get to retirement? Have you asked these or similar questions recently? I have. My first deployment to Iraq was like that. We left for 12 months and, at the half- way point, we were extended another three months. Just when the finish line seemed to appear, someone moved it farther away. Recently, I had an experience that taught me the value of keeping my eyes on the prize, or the finish line, and focusing less on my current struggle or pain. During block leave a couple of weeks ago, I traveled with my Family and some friends to Glacier National Park in Montana. After extensive touring in Europe’s Alps and now living in Colorado, I thought I knew mountains. The mountains in Glacier were a new kind of awesome for me. One of the park’s main attractions is Going to the Sun Road. This road bisects the park and is literally cut into the side of the mountains as it winds its way to the summit at Logan Pass. From my camp area it was 12 miles to the summit, six of which were uphill. The road is spectacular from a car, but my friend and I decided we wanted a different experience and chose to ride it on our bikes. The first six miles weren’t too bad. At mile six, however, the road seemed to go straight up. After about two more miles, I was in my lowest gear and had no more gears to use. I was just going to have to grind out the next four miles. With three miles to go the road makes a dramatic hairpin turn then straightens out, hugging close to the rocks. As I looked ahead, I could barely make out the Logan Pass Visitor’s Center, my finish line for this climb. With every painful pedal stroke, my mind and body wanted to turn around and enjoy a nice coast back to camp. Once I turned the corner and saw the finish, there was no way I was going to quit. Having the finish line in sight made all the difference as I finished up my ride and enjoyed the cruise back down. Jesus knew that we would all have seasons of life such as I had on my bike — seasons of disappointment, doubt and despair. He inspired Paul to write to the Philippians about pressing on toward the goal as they were struggling to envision the ultimate prize. Philippians 3:13-14 says, “Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.” Jesus and Paul are not talking about finally attaining a professional goal or finishing a deployment here, but the principle still applies — with God’s help, rise up out of your present struggles and keep the goal in mind. You might be thinking easier said than done, chaplain. I got it. One practice that helps is to keep a tangible reminder of your goal where you can see it. A friend of mine recently retired after 28 years of service. He kept a picture of his retirement house, which he saved for and bought, on his desk for quite some time. Anytime the road got rough, he imagined himself in the pool, surrounded by his friends and family, and it helped him drive on. Taking solace in the power of one’s spiritual beliefs is another way to overcome the struggles of the moment. At the top of Logan Pass the view was breathtaking and the 50 mph bike ride back down was exhilarating. Had I not found a way to rise up out of my pain and keep the pedals turning, I would have missed it all. This week remember to keep your eyes on the prize. “Brothers, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 3:13-14 Keep eyes on prize

    27Aug. 16, 2013— MOUNTAINEER Photo by Walt Johnson Mountaineer Sports Feature Story and photos by Walt Johnson Mountaineer staff One of the most physically- demanding workout programs is available at McKibben Physical Fitness Center Monday and Wednesday at 6 p.m. Armando Sosa, one of the post’s personal fitness trainers, holds a circuit training class that he says will help people experience movements such as kettle bell and TRX among other disciplines that will give them a good workout. Sosa said the workout tests a person’s coordination, balance, strength, endurance, cardio and every other physical conditioning discipline. Sosa said he goes through the program first so that people know what to expect and won’t be surprised by the intensity of the workouts. He also shows participants how to perform each exercise in a safe manner. Lorri Thorson has been through a session with the circuit program, and she said she believes in the benefits of the program so strongly that she is telling all her friends to try it. “I used to do Insanity workouts, and when I heard this class was going to be available and what it would entail, I was very excited to give (it) a shot,” Thorson said. “I found all the stations to be challenging, but the station that has challenged me the most is the station where I would get weights and (pull) them into my stomach and then drag them to another point ... it works my core like no other exercises ever worked it before. The first time I did it, I was sore for about five days, and it took me a while before I could laugh again. I just think this exercise is awesome.” Sosa said the program will take people out of their normal fitness training comfort zone by using different kinds of material. He said it is not every day that people will do a workout which involves a tire, a kettle bell and strongman pull. He said the program consists of participants starting at one station where they have one minute to complete the workout. Then, after a 10-second break, they move to the next station to begin the next phase of the program. Fitnessprogramoffers extremecircuittraining Steven Taylor, left, and Lorri Thorson take part in a station workout as they participate in the circuit training exercise program at McKibben Physical Fitness Center.

    28 MOUNTAINEER —Aug. 16, 2013 Mountaineer Athlete of the Week Photo by Walt Johnson Casey Hallas Intramural athlete How did you get started playing sports? I started off playing T-ball when I was 6 or 7 years old. I graduated from T-ball to double-A baseball, and then I played baseball through high school. After high school, I started playing softball with my dad. I also played football when I was growing up. What was it like playing sports with your dad? He was my coach throughout Little League, so getting a chance to play with him when I was older was quite a thrill for me. What is your favorite moment in sports? While playing Pee Wee football, we won a national championship and, to this day, I consider that the best thing I’ve done in sports. I didn’t do anything special in a game, but it was great to be able to play the game. Who are your favorite professional athletes? I’m a big St. Louis Cardinals fan and a big David Freese fan. In football, I like the Miami Dolphins and I think Ryan Tannehill is a great young quarterback who made great improvements last year. What haven’t you done in sports that you would still like to do? I would like to play in another major competition such as the All-Army softball team. If I could make the All-Army team, I would consider that a great accomplishment. If you could meet any athlete, who would you want to meet? George Halas, the former football coach and owner of the Chicago Bears; I would mainly be interested in talking to him because I think there could be a family relationship there. People who don’t know me would be surprised to know that ... I don’t look like the typical athletic person, but I am very athletic. Many times it looks like I’ve been burned on the softball field, but I’ve got better instincts than most people believe I have, and I’m able to recover and make good plays. You’re already Army Strong. Here’s the opportunity to push yourself to the next level of Army Strong.

    33Aug. 16, 2013— MOUNTAINEER32 MOUNTAINEER — Aug. 16, 2013 Story and photos by Nel Lampe Mountaineer staff People are drawn to the 16th Street pedestrian mall in downtown Denver for its shopping, entertain- ment and dining options as well as its ambiance. And, it’s a great place for people watching. Employees on lunch break, local citizens, groups of friends, family groups and tourists are in the busy mall. Sixteenth Street was closed to all motor traffic in 1982 and the street was turned into a pedestrian mall with a park-like island in the middle of the former street, with a lane on either side used by the free electric shuttle buses. The mall was designed by renowned architect I.M. Pei. The mall area is laid out in shades of red and gray granite in a pattern resembling a diamondback rattlesnake. Historic buildings house restaurants and stores, alongside skyscrapers and modern buildings. Sometimes special events, festivals and concerts are held in or near the mall. The park area contains trees, flowers, decorative lights and park benches. Street performers or musicians sometimes entertain. Several brightly decorated pianos are in the mall, and an occasional pianist may spontaneously play a few tunes. Merchandise and food carts are also along the mall, offering a selection of purses, jewelry, hot dogs or panini sandwiches. Visitors can spend hours along the mall, exploring, shopping or eating. Catch a movie, stop at the Da Vinci and Michelangelo exhibit at the Denver Pavilions, bowl some games or just relax. Or, use the free mall shuttle to get somewhere else. Buses run early to late, the entire length of the mall, about a mile, stopping at every intersection. Prominent street signs are at each bus stop. Pick up a downtown Denver map and a directory for the mall at the Denver information kiosk at 16th and California. There’s someone on duty throughout the day to answer questions. Find your destination on the map and catch the shuttle to save some steps. People headed to a Rockies game can ride a shuttle to Blake Street, which is four blocks from Coors Field. Take Arapahoe Street to the Denver Performing Arts Complex of theaters, and a block farther to the Colorado Convention Center. It’s a three-block walk to buses and light rail connections at Union Station on Wynkoop Street. On the opposite end of the line, it’s just a few blocks to the Colorado Capitol building and a few more blocks to other downtown area attractions such as the Denver Art Museum, History Colorado Center, Clyfford Still Museum and the Byers-Evans House Museum. To visit another trendy shopping and dining destination in downtown Denver, get off the shuttle at Larimer Street and walk a block to Larimer Square, where Denver was started in 1858. Gold had been found in what is now Colorado, but then was part of Kansas Territory. A group of gold seekers started a town on the banks of Cherry Creek. But another settler, Gen. William H. Larimer Jr., claimed the spot for himself and sent some men to Leavenworth, Kan., to file the claim. His men were the first to so Larimer got the claim and staked out a town, named the main street after himself and called the town Denver City, after James Denver, the Kansas Territory Governor. A hundred years later, the area was rundown and unsightly and known as skid row. It was restored in the 1960s and is now an upscale shopping and dining district. Places to see in the Pikes Peak area. Right: The Colorado Capitol and skyscrapers provide a backdrop for the pedestrian mall in downtown Denver, one of the city’s most popular attractions. The Denver Pavilions has 40 restaurants, shops, a bowling alley and a movie theater in its three-story facility on the 16th Street Mall. It also has underground parking. A group of friends ride red bikes from Denver B-cycle sharing system on the 16th Street Mall as a shuttle bus stops at an intersection on a Sunday afternoon. Above: People walk past a lunch crowd at Hard Rock Cafe’s outdoor area on the 16th Street Mall in Denver. Below: A boy plays one of the pianos on the 16th Street Mall as onlookers listen at the popular mall. Alternative ways to get around the mall include pedicabs, horse-drawn carriages and bikes. Denver B-cycle is a citywide public bike sharing system for short trips. Join up by going online or at one of the B-cycle kiosks around Denver and check out a red bike for the time desired. A B-cycle kiosk is near the Denver Pavilions at 1550 Glenarm Place. Bikes can be picked up and dropped off at any B-cycle station. Check the website at http://denver.bcycle.com for information. The Denver Pavilions is a shopping center by the mall, which includes a multi-screen United Artists theater complex and the Lucky Strike (upscale) bowling alley with an extensive menu. Banana Republic, Claire’s, H&M and Hollywood Cowgirl are stores in the Pavilions. Tabor Center is another mall at the mall, with a convenience store, The Palm Restaurant, a food court and stores and businesses inside the building. But people don’t need to leave the mall to find things to do. There are myriad places to dine in the vicinity of the 16th Street Mall, including more than two dozen outdoor cafes. In addition to sandwich shops and delicatessens, there are juice places, coffee shops, bakeries, salad places, McDonald’s, Johnny Rockets, frozen yogurt shops and the Cheesecake Factory. There’s the Hard Rock Café, Paramount Café, the Tilted Kilt and Katie Mullen’s Irish Pub and Eatery. For fine dining, try Maggiano’s Little Italy, Marlowe’s or walk to the Brown Palace Hotel on 17th Street for four-star dining or afternoon tea in a luxurious historic hotel. It’s helpful to look at a map of downtown Denver and locate 16th Street to get an idea of the downtown layout. Although Denver is mostly laid out in a north-south, east-west grid, downtown Denver is laid out in a northeast-southwest grid, thanks to Gen. Larimer’s design. It’s about 70 miles to Denver via Interstate 25. Head for the sky- scrapers. The Colfax Exit runs past the capitol building and is south of downtown. The area can also be accessed by Speer Boulevard. Many streets downtown are one-way. Park at meters along downtown streets or in commercial parking lots. There are construction projects presently underway at the mall. enver’stopdestinationD 16th Street Mall Just the Facts • TRAVEL TIME — 1 hour plus • FOR AGES — anyone • TYPE — pedestrian mall • FUN FACTOR — ★★★★★ (Out of 5 stars) • WALLET DAMAGE — NO ENTRY $ = Less than $20 $$ = $21 to $40 $$$ = $41 to $60 $$$$ = $61 to $80 (BASED ON A FAMILY OF FOUR)
