DOD leaders

By Karen ParrishAmerican Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON — Issuing perhaps theirstrongest warnings yet, Pentagon leaders said Sundaythe budget impasse threatens to create a militaryreadiness crisis.

Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta and Gen.Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs ofStaff, joined in interviews, televised Sunday, withCNN’s Candy Crowley on “State of the Union” and

NBC’s Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press.”The budget provision known as “sequester,” which

is set to take effect March 1 unless Congress acts,would trigger a half-trillion dollars in defense spendingcuts over 10 years, beyond major spending cuts alreadyin place during that period. Defense Department staffsare preparing for the worst, Panetta said.

“If sequester goes into effect, and we have to dothe kind of cuts that will go right at readiness, right atmaintenance, right at training, we are going to weakenthe United States and make it much more difficult for

us to respond to the crises in the world,” Panetta said.“We’ve got to plan for that possibility … but I

have to tell you, it is irresponsible for (sequester) tohappen,” the secretary said. “I mean, why — why inGod’s name — would members of Congress electedby the American people take a step that would badlydamage our national defense, but more importantly,undermine the support for our men and women inuniform? Why would you do that?”

Budget deadlock could spark readiness crisis

WLC honors

Ethos code to live byCommentary by Sgt. Logan Curci

Warrior Leader Course graduate

To some, the Warrior Ethos is just a bunch of wordstaped on an office wall or a reference card tucked into the back of a notebook. Some people recite them aloud, yet never take the time to truly heed the words they are saying,and the responsibility inherent in them.

To me, the Warrior Ethos is a code andprinciple that every Soldier should adhereto and live by. We, as united brothers and sisters in arms, hold it in our sacredconviction to abstain from ignorance and misconduct and uphold these as ironclad principles; yet, all too often, wecast aside ideals with integrity.

The United States Army is one of themost tactically and technically proficientorganizations in the world; our guidelinesfor success ring true when supplementedand enhanced by the oath that embodies the Warrior Ethos.

I will always place the mission first.This expresses our privilege to serve andsacrifice our lives in doing our duty for thedefense of this great nation. As warriors,this principle outlines our focal point and ensures prioritieslay inherent in the intent and successful execution of any task or operation.

I will never accept defeat. This is a day and age wherewarriors rise up with unflinching loyalty and a drive to

not only achieve, but to excel with such a high level of conviction and fealty for selfless service, that failure isimpossible and victory is all but accomplished.

I will never quit. This principle exhumes from thevery core, the ability to shoulder crushing burdens andunending hardship with a voracious attitude and an undying resolve; which, in turn, shows the very epitomeof dedication and respect for oneself and one’s comrades.

It humbles the arrogant and chastises the defiant, instilling an unbreakable positive perspective and reinforcing anironclad will.

I will never leave a fallen comrade. As a warrior, we must muster the personalcourage to join not an organization, but anintricate, cohesive and honor-bound society.The United States Army is a paramount,superpower because where others discardtheir hurting or fallen, we cherish and lift ours up. We fight, we die and we live shoulder to shoulder in eternal bondsand unwavering devotion.

Every man and woman, who has raised their right hand and sworn an oathto the flag and country, understands theimperative need to live up to the Warrior

Ethos. Without this doctrine, we would be nothing morethan individuals wielding arms with no discipline or order.Utilizing this testament at every juncture guarantees that nomatter what trials and tribulations we may face, we stand and fight as one, and we will win the day.

Army must complete analysis before opening jobsBy C. Todd Lopez Army News Service

WASHINGTON — The Secretaryof Defense announced an end to theDirect Ground Combat Exclusion Rulefor female Soldiers Jan. 24. But theArmy wants commanders in the field to

know that it will be some time beforethey’ll be able to make any changesin their units.

“There will be no immediatechanges,” said Col. Linda Sheimo,chief of the Command Programs andPolicy Division at the HumanResources Policy Directorate, Army

G-1. “In order to open any positionthat is closed, whether it is due to themilitary occupational specialty, or theunit’s mission, all the services haveto submit a detailed request outliningthe MOS, the unit, the numbers, andalso a legal analysis, that has to gothrough the Army leadership to thesecretary of defense.”

The secretary of defense then hasto notify Congress of the intent to openthose positions, and Congress has aspecific amount of time to consider theissue before anything in the servicescan change, Sheimo said.

“The very soonest that anythingcould happen would be this summer,”Sheimo said.

The Army now has more than 450MOSs, about 20 of which are currently

closed to female Soldiers. Additionally,there are units in the Army that are closedto women, based on the mission of thoseunits. So, within those units, even if thereare jobs with MOSs that women areallowed to do elsewhere in the Army,women would not be allowed to serve inthose MOSs within those specific units.

The secretary’s announcement isexpected to change the current policy,and could open up new opportunitiesfor women in the Army and in the otherservices, Sheimo said.

“The intent of the policy change isto make every position open, by Jan. 1,2016, regardless of gender, unless weget an approved exception to policy tokeep it closed,” Sheimo explained.

Such exceptions, Sheimo said, mustbe approved by the secretary and thechairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

The announcement by the secretaryamounts to a “reversal” of the currentpolicy, Sheimo said. Where today,women are excluded from some jobsand units and a special exception mustbe approved in order to get women intothose particular jobs; in the future, thepolicy will be that all jobs are open to

Pvt. Cicely Verstein practices marksmanship on a Fort Jackson, S.C., rifle range. Verstein will be thefirst female 91M Bradley FightingVehicle System maintainer, one of six military occupational specialtiespreviously restricted to men. OtherMOSs cannot open until the Army completes an analysis later this year.

Story and photo by Spc. John G. Martinez Army News Service

WASHINGTON — Secretary of the Army JohnMcHugh directed Monday that programs fromresilience training to suicide prevention be part of awide-ranging “Ready and Resilient Campaign” plan,which will launch later this month.

During a press conference at Joint BaseLewis-McChord, Wash., McHugh said he’s looked at47 recommendations from an Armywide BehavioralHealth Task Force, which he stood up last year.

While McHugh said findings of the task forcehave not yet been staffed and are not ready forrelease, he did divulge one of the recommendations:that all programs dealing with resilience come undera single command authority, the G-1 or Office of theDeputy Chief of Staff for Personnel.

“They felt the disparity of command authorityover all of these various programs tended to diffusethings rather than make them more accessible,”McHugh said of the Behavioral Health Task Forcerecommendations. He explained that the abundanceof programs, and redundancy of services, couldsometimes be confusing, making it difficult forcommanders or Soldiers to know where to turn.

In order to eliminate that confusion, McHughsigned a memorandum Monday directing that“multiple efforts and programs” be integrated andsynchronized under the Army Ready and ResilientCampaign plan. R2C programs will include those

aimed at eliminating sexual assault and sexualharassment, bullying and hazing, substance abuse,domestic violence and any stigmas or barriersassociated with seeking help, according to the memo.

McHugh charged Under Secretary of the ArmyJoseph Westphal and Vice Chief of Staff of theArmy Gen. Lloyd J. Austin III to finalize plans for the campaign and present them to him by Feb. 15.The campaign “must be a top priority for all Armyleaders,” the secretary said.

The R2C will make improvements to theIntegrated Disability Evaluation System and shortencase-processing times, according to the memorandum.And it will improve methods to help leaders understandhigh-risk behaviors that could lead to suicide.

The campaign will make resilience training a keypart of all professional military education, accordingto the establishing memo. And it will promote healthylifestyles that are based on the triad of physicalfitness, nutrition and sleep.

Finally, the campaign will strive to eliminatestigma that might keep Soldiers from seeking treatmentfor post-traumatic stress or brain injuries.

“We’re trying to teach Soldiers it’s OK to reachout for help,” McHugh said. “You don’t just do that ina class or two to a young Soldier. It really has to be acareer-long progression.”

The R2C will seek to institutionalize educationto promote resilience and build it into professionalmilitary instruction at various levels of a Soldier’scareer, McHugh said.

“We’re trying to instill into virtually every levelof training, it’s your responsibility to take care of yourbuddy,” he said.

McHugh lamented the record 325 suicidescommitted by Soldiers last year. “All of us in theArmy are deeply concerned about this,” he said.


Dempsey noted sequester is onlypart of the vise closing around theDepartment of Defense. Under the con-tinuing resolution that sets governmentspending at previous levels when anappropriations bill isn’t passed,Pentagon spending for the fiscal yearalready is out of balance, he said.

“The combined effects of sequesterand the continuing resolution creates amagnitude of cut in the last half of theyear,” Dempsey said. “We have toabsorb $52 billion when you count the effects of both sequestration and thecontinuing resolution in the last halfof the year.”

Panetta and Dempsey both havestated repeatedly that defense spendingpriorities always will be supporting troops

in combat and training those next todeploy. The chairman detailed whatcivilian employees can expect if sequesterhappens and they are furloughed.

“They will lose two days per payperiod, 20 percent less pay for the rest ofthe year,” he said.

Dempsey noted that despite publicperception, less than a quarter ofdefense civilian employees work in theWashington area.

“There’s this notion that (civilianfurloughs are) probably OK, becausethey are just a bunch of white-collarbureaucrats,” he said.

But 86 percent of DOD’s civilianemployees “live outside of Washington,D.C., are in our schools, in our clinics, inour motor pools, in our depots, in ourfactories,” Dempsey said. “This will affectthe entire country, and it will undermineour readiness for the next several years.”

women and if the services want to exclude women they must get aspecial approved exception thatexplains why they should be excluded.

The Army has not completedthe analysis it needs in order to openany more MOSs or units to women,but the Army already has an effortunder way to meet the secretary’ssuspense date.

“The Army is pursuing a verycareful and deliberate approach,”she said. “As we move forward we will open units and/or MOSs aswe complete the appropriateassessments, and we will submitthose requests to Congress to openthose positions.”

When the Army does eventually

open units and MOSs to women, theservice will focus not only onrecruiting from the outside — butwill also look for volunteers frominside the Army in order to fillimportant leadership roles in thoseunits and MOSs, Sheimo said, forboth enlisted Soldiers and officers.

“Leadership is a key element ofsuccess in this effort,” Sheimosaid. “It’s very important to have aleadership cadre in place. Initially itwill have to come from other MOSsand specialties.”

But for now, Sheimo said, com-manders in the field should know thatno new positions are open to women.

“The Army will not open anyposition before congressionalnotification has been done and thenotification period is complete,”Sheimo said.

Soldiers vie forbest chef titleStory and photo by Sgt. Grady Jones3rd Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs

Office, 4th Infantry Division

Beef tenderloin marinated and stuffed withsweet carrots, cheesecake made from scratch andgourmet bread pudding were just a few of thedishes prepared by Soldiers competing in the 4thInfantry Division best chef cook-off, Jan. 24.

Dressed in their “cook white” and camou-flage uniforms, two-person teams from the 1st,2nd, 3rd, and 4th brigade combat teams, 4thInf. Div.; 10th Special Forces Group(Airborne) and 214th Fires Brigade, Fort Sill,Okla., battled for bragging rights.

Spc. Michael Hatton, Group ServiceSupport Company, 10th SFG(A), and Sgt. CecilLee Parker, Headquarters Support Company, 3rdBattalion, 10th SFG(A), captured top honors.

Each team worked to create a gourmetthree-course-meal which consisted of anappetizer, main course and a dessert, from amystery basket of food items. Dishes were judgedby a four-man panel that made evaluations in categories such as taste, food-handlingprocedures, cooking techniques and consistencyin recipes.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for Soldiersto get outside of the dining facilities andpractice the skills that they would use in the(food) industry,” said Gregory Joell, Fort

Carson installation food program manager. Joell compared the competition as the

Army’s version of “Iron Chef.”“It gives them a chance to crossover

freelance in preparing and plating dishes,which aren’t normally done in dining facilitiesbecause of regulations,” said Joell “It givesthem the opportunity to think outside the boxand be creative.”

Contestants were judged based on theAmerican Culinary Federation criteria, accordingto competition judge Thomas Schaefer, AmericanCulinary Federation Pikes Peak director ofoperations and Pikes Peak Community Collegechef instructor.

The judges said they enjoyed watchingSoldiers display their skills.

“These competitors are the cream of thecrop,” Schaefer said.

The Soldiers also said they enjoyed the event.“We had a great time,” Hatton said.Parker contributed his team’s success to

superb teamwork.“What helped us out was the fact that we

work well together,” he said.

2nd Brigade Combat Team Public AffairsOffice, 4th Infantry Division

Camouflaged by the natural woodland, theturret of an M3A3 Bradley Fighting Vehiclerotates to scan its sector near Fort Carson’s CampRed Devil, Jan. 25.

Inside the vehicle, cavalry scouts of Troop A,1st Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment, 2ndBrigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division,wait to engage simulated enemy forces.

“Bison” Soldiers are getting back to the basicsof decisive action training after conductingcounter insurgency operations in Iraq andAfghanistan.

“These guys have spent the last 10 years or sofighting the war on terror,” said Staff Sgt. JustinBottomley, cavalry scout, Troop A. “What oursquadron, brigade and elements above us havestarted to say is that we need to get back into thedoctrinal fight of high-intensity conflict.”

During the training, the sections worked in small knit groups and focused on workingas a team.

“We get to do our first-, second- and third-level tasks and learn our jobs,” said Bottomley.“Normally we don’t get a chance to work purelyat the section level, and the last couple of days ithas just been me and my wingman and that buildsup teamwork.”

The Soldiers practiced some of the tasks bycamouflaging and positioning their vehicle in adefensive posture, to prevent the enemy frommoving north.

“The problem with using a Bradley as arecon vehicle is that it is very tall, very loud andgives off a lot of signatures,” said Bottomley. “Onething we do is use the terrain to our advantage.We get our weapon system above the high groundto be able to engage the target and hopefully seethe enemy before they see us.”

During the training, new Soldiers assigned tothe squadron learned their vehicles’ capabilities.

“It’s a big learning experience,” said Pfc.Robert Baker, cavalry scout, Troop A. “For themost part, I don’t know much about the system,so I have my team leaders and section sergeant tohelp me out and guide me in the right direction.”

“As a driver, I am learning the ins and outs ofwhat the vehicle can do,” said Baker. “Knowingthe vehicle and the maintenance required is a bigpart of the training.”

New Soldiers are not the only ones wholearned new things during the training.

“Everyone is learning troop leading proce-dures,” said 1st Lt. Samuel Thode, executive officer, Troop B. “Platoon leaders are goingthrough and working with their noncommissionedofficers to figure out how to put together a mission,execute a mission, finish it and see ‘here’s whatwe did, what we thought was going to work, whyit didn’t work, and here is how we can fix it.’”

The scouts are conducting the training inpreparation that will eventually lead to deployment.

“The end state of the training is the Soldiersare competent at putting together a mission,executing it, and ready to do the same down theline in Piñon Canyon (Maneuver Site), and laterat the National Training Center in Fort Irwin,(Calif.),” Thode said.

Office, 4th Infantry Division

A battalion physical training challenge on Fort CarsonJan. 23 was dominated by four junior officers, who completedthe six-event competition in 1 hour, 3 minutes, 35 seconds.

1st Lt. John Riggs, executive officer, and platoonleaders, 1st Lt. Andrew Woolen, 2nd Lt. Nathan Winnechand 2nd Lt. Chandler Rochelle, all from Battery B, 4th

Battalion, 42nd FieldArtillery Regiment, 1stBrigade Combat Team, 4thInfantry Division, attributedtheir win to teamwork.

“We are all leaving fordeployment in the next month,so the name of the game for thisevent is teambuilding,” saidRiggs. “Whether we are doingPT or going out to fire rounds,we do everything in this bat -talion as a team. Most of theseevents would be almost impos -sible as an individual, and Ithink that is a good lesson forus, as well as our Soldiers.”

The PT challenge kicked offwith a run, beginning at the bat-talion’s motor pool and snakingup Commo Hill, where teamsregrouped, before heading backdown to the company operatingfacilities. Each member of thefour- or five-person teams hadto cross the finish line before theteam could begin the round-robin stage of the challenge.

Leaders set standardat PT Competition

“The run is where we really excelled,” said Riggs.“All four of us are pretty strong runners, so we were ableto stick together. I think that set us apart, because someof the other teams had to wait until slower memberscaught up at the top of the hill or at the finish line.”

Following the run, the leaders tested their strength andendurance during a five-event, round-robin style gantlet.Competitors executed eight-count pushups, pullups, littercarries, tire flips and aHumvee drag, completingeach event as a team; dividingrepetitions and laborbetween team members toconserve strength.

“The Humvee pull wasthe toughest event for us,”Rochelle said. “We had topull the thing 100 yardsthen pull it back to thestarting location. The wayback was brutal.”

The competition served agreater purpose than simplebragging rights for the winnersor building cohesion withinthe battalion’s leadership,said Rochelle.

“As leaders we can’t slackoff,” he said. “We can’t askour Soldiers to do anythingwe ourselves wouldn’t do. I believe by participating in this challenge we areleading by example, showingour Soldiers that being intop physical shape is animportant part of being aprofessional.”

As teams began to flood back toward the startingpoint, challenges complete, friendly handshakes weregiven, but no one received a trophy or a blue ribbon.

“This is about esprit de corps,” said Capt.Edward Olson, Headquarters and HeadquartersBattery, 4th Bn., 42nd FA Reg. “It’s about settingan example for the Soldiers of this battalion andbringing pride to the Straight Arrow (Battalion).”

Dog teams recertify, earnexcellence rating

By Andrea SutherlandMountaineer staff

Sgt. Jon Silvey urged his teammateforward Jan. 31 at the recreational lotnear Gate 20.

“Right,” he called, gesturing withhis hand and walking to the right up thedirt road between the motor homesand recreational vehicles.

“Left,” he said, moving towardthe left.

With each command, his teammate,Turbo, obeyed, zigzagging his way upthe road.

As the black Labrador retrieversniffed the ground, he halted, identifyinga disturbance in the dirt.

After confirming the find withcertifying officials, Silvey rewardedTurbo with a toy ball. The two tussledfor a moment, then Silvey sent Turboforward again.

For nearly an hour the two performedthe tedious route-clearing mission, oneof the final tasks during the four-daymilitary working dog team certification.

“Certification is pretty difficult,”said Sgt. 1st Class Thomas Macagg,certifying official and Military WorkingDog Plans noncommissioned officer,U.S. Forces Command, Fort Bragg, N.C.“Downrange, you come across stuff thathas been buried for days, weeks, even

years sometimes. We’re theones that identify the area.”

“(The certification) isgood,” said Silvey after he andTurbo completed the exercise.“I didn’t know what to expect.”

Although this was theirfirst time going through thecertification process, Silveyand Turbo developed a strongbond during their one-yeardeployment to Afghanistanwith the 69th Military WorkingDog Detachment, 759thMilitary Police Battalion.

Each year, military bomband drug-sniffing dog teams areinspected and must completea range of tasks includingtraining missions with explosivesand narcotics, vehicle searches,“bite work” and odor detection,Macagg said. Teams are also evaluatedon facility maintenance and properfiling of administration paperwork.

“There’s a five-page checklist,”Macagg said. “This is the first timeFort Carson has had two ‘excellence’ratings in a row.”

Staff Sgt. Garry Mattingly, kennelmaster, 69th MWD, participated in theyearly certification process since hebegan working with military dogs in2005. Now, as kennel master, he has to

observe and trust his Soldiers.“(Certification) is the most nerve-

wracking thing,” he said. “Your certifica-tion is dependent on so many people.”

Mattingly said to pass, bomb-sniffing dog teams had to score above95 percent. On average, only half ofrecertifying teams pass.

“They’re doing well,” he said. “Theyknow what they’re doing. They’recombat-experienced dogs and handlers.They know what they have to do.”

Six teams from various posts,

including three from Fort Carson,completed the certification process inJanuary. Two teams passed, includingSilvey and Turbo.

Teams that did not pass the certifica-tion will continue training, with help fromMacagg and other certifying officials.

“If we see a training deficiency, wekeep training,” said Macagg, who has13 years of experience working withmilitary dogs. “It would be a very largeinjustice just to check the box and notprovide insight.”

Sgt. Jon Silvey, left, 69th Military Working Dog Detachment, 759th Military Police Battalion,directs Turbo, a military working dog, as evaluators critique the team’s performance Jan. 31.Silvey and Turbo were one of six military working dog teams to participate in the certificationprocess, a yearly requirement for teams. Two teams passed, including Silvey and Turbo.

Legacy of service

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

Every family has a legacy they can call their own,through bloodline or traditions, and one Fort CarsonFamily just took another step to continue its militaryheritage that dates back to World War II.

Quinten Ziegler took his Oath of Enlistment Jan.25, continuing his Family’s legacy and following inthe footsteps of his father, Staff Sgt. Serge Ziegler.

The Ziegler Family had their first experiences withthe U.S. military during World War II in Germany.

“My dad grew up in Germany during World WarII ... he and his brother were recruited, not by choice,into the Hitler Youth,” said Serge Ziegler, wheeledvehicle mechanic, Headquarters and HeadquartersCompany, 204th Brigade Support Battalion, 2ndBrigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division.“(Eventually,) he and his brother escaped and wereable to get out of the program. They were chasedfor a while, so they hid out in different towns andvillages. They started basically taking food from theU.S. military, and then a lot of the Soldiers found outwhat was going on and actually started helping themout by feeding them.

“My grandfather was actually a German prisonguard at the beginning of the war,” Serge Ziegler said.

He said his father and two brothers later immi-grated to Canada to escape the war; then throughwork processes, came to the U.S.

“We all moved to theStates not knowing how tospeak English, so we (all)…. had to learn everythingfrom scratch,” SergeZiegler said. “When wecame to the States, that’swhen my brothers and I gotinterested in the military.”

Serge Ziegler joinedthe Army in 1984 as a cavalry scout. Following hisfather’s example, QuintenZiegler enlisted in theArmy in the same militaryoccupational specialty.

Brig. Gen. DarsieRogers, deputy command-ing general for support, 4thInf. Div. and Fort Carson,gave the oath of enlistment

to Quinten Ziegler along with morethan 100 other new recruits, and promoted outstanding Soldiers to theranks of private and specialist.

“To hear that the general was goingto be there to swear them all in, and thento hear that (Quinten) was going to getpromoted to private by the general wasjust outstanding, and it shows just howmuch the military does care about ourfuture Soldiers,” said Serge Ziegler.

Quinten Ziegler said being promoted at the ceremony was acomplete surprise.

“It felt good getting promoted;it’s one of those things you don’texpect, but when it happens, it feelsgreat,” said Quinten Ziegler. “Gettingpromoted is mostly about accomplishingsomething not only for myself, but forthe people around me. I can step upand be a leader.”

He said learning the meanings ofthe seven Army values growing up wassomething that just clicked.

“My uncle joined the Army, mymom wanted to, but didn’t. My dad’sin right now ... and both of his brothersserved,” said Quinten Ziegler. “It’s kindof been one of those things; it’s all Ireally know.”

Quinten received support andencouragement from his parentswhen he told them he was enlisting inthe Army.

“My parents have always supported me in anythingI do, even if they didn’t agree with it, they supportedme; so they weren’t surprised when I told them Iwanted to join the Army,” said Quinten Ziegler.

He said they responded with “I’m proud of you.You’re doing a good thing.”

“My mom always told me I was saying ‘hooah’when I (was born),” Quinten Ziegler said.

Serge Ziegler expressed his pride and what heexpects of his son.

“I actually see him outranking me before toolong. Within five years, I’m hoping to see sergeantfirst class, then we’ll see who outranks who when Iretire,” said Serge Ziegler.

Unity in service has brought father and sontogether, forming a bond forged through quality time

and experience with the military.“It’s brought us closer together … I’m all for it,

whatever I can do,” Serge Ziegler said. “I’m trying toteach him now about how to get promoted and whatto use and what schools to look for once he gets in.So, I’m pushing him a little bit.

“I’m going to do whatever I can to help him,” hesaid. “At this point, I look at him as a son and aSoldier, and as I treat my Soldiers today, I try to pushthem along and get them to where I’m at, and I’mdoing the same thing with him. Hopefully, he canprogress and be at my level.”

Quinten Ziegler recites the Oath of Enlistment during aninduction ceremony, at the Colorado Springs CrownePlaza, Jan. 25.

Enlistment continues family tradition

“My momalways toldme I was saying‘hooah’when I (was born).”

Breaching the objective


Destination Fort Carson

Event provides plethora of informationStory and photos by Catherine Ross

Special to the Mountaineer

Balancing free cups of coffee in one hand and tote bags filled with information in the other, Soldiers and Family members turned out in droves for Destination Fort Carson at the Special Events Center Jan. 30.

“They have a lot of information here,” said Sgt. Christ Angelos, 62nd Sapper Company, 4th Engineer Battalion. “They have answers to everything.”

Featuring 45 agencies from the Pikes Peakregion in addition to Fort Carson services and facilities, nearly 4,000 members of the community learned about everything fromdeployment child care benefits to using the G.I. Bill at local educational institutions.

“We didn’t know what would be here,” said Spc. April Clark, 4th Brigade SupportBattalion, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4thInfantry Division.

“I’m glad we stayed,” said fellow 4th BSB Soldier Sgt. Angelina Castro, who was exploring the event with Clark. Both are preparing to deploy.

“I have a daughter, so it’s hard,” Castroadmitted, but was excited to discover how to create a keepsake for her daughter to have during her deployment.

“I found this awesome place where theyrecord books,” Castro said. “I was able to set up an appointment.”

The anticipation of what was availableinside the SEC had community members liningup more than an hour before the doors opened.

“We had a crowd at 8 o’clock but weweren’t scheduled to open until nine,” said Ann Edinger, chief of Events andEntertainment, Directorate of Family andMorale, Welfare and Recreation .

“We’ve had a larger turnout (this time) due to unit deployment support,” she said comparing the turnout to the AugustDestination Fort Carson event.

DFMWR staff coordinated the event inpartnership with Army Community Service.

Destination Fort Carson serves as a

“one stop shop” for the community, Edinger said.The event featured Family readiness support assistants providing Family members an opportunityto sign up for their Family readiness groups; Child,Youth and School Services scheduling appointmentsfor central registration; information from local businesses; and more.

“There is so much good, free information aboutservices available to Families as Soldiers prepare to leave,” she said.

Intermingling fun with information, eachattendee received a Destination Fort Carson “passport” as they entered the event. Listing phonenumbers and social media sites for Fort Carson services, the passport also provided space for

individuals to provide feedback on the event andcollect up to 10 stamps from different agencies.Completed stamped portions of the passport could be submitted as an entry into a drawing for an iPad and other prizes.

“Hopefully this is of value when they leave here,” said Edinger of the reference portion of the passport.

The ACS area also combined fun and learningwith displays featuring services offered surroundinga seating area overflowing with Soldiers and Familymembers concentrating on bingo cards.

“We’ve been holding bingo every five minutes,”said Jean McClintock, ACS Client Operations andRelocation Readiness Program manager. While

drawing a crowd with the game and prizes,McClintock said the ACS corner was able tofield a large number of inquiries.

“Deployment and employment informationhave been the top two things everyone’s beenasking about,” she said.

At another ACS booth, Joey Bautista, mayoral manager, focused on getting theword out to spouses about the Fort Carsonmayoral program.

“If their Soldier is deployed and theyneed some help, they need to know their mayors,” said Bautista, who had been briefinggroups of spouses almost continuously since the event began. “They need to knowwho they are so they can go to them for quality of life issues.”

Since all Fort Carson neighborhood mayors and deputy mayors are volunteers,spouses were also encouraged to seek volunteer opportunities, said Bautista, who is also the ACS volunteer coordinator.

Army spouse Felicia Johnson said she benefited from the wide range of information available.

“I usually come to these events to learnabout things I don’t already know about, and figure out what I can participate in,” she said. “It’s an easy way to find informationin one place.”

Johnson found time to enjoy some freebiesas well.

“It’s fun because there’s chocolate,” she said.

Fort Carson Soldiers and Family members gather informationon services available both on and off post during DestinationFort Carson, Jan. 30 at the Special Events Center.

Mary Elizabeth Fabian, Religious Support Office, shares informationabout programs offered at Fort Carson with a Soldier during theJan. 30 Destination Fort Carson at the Special Events Center.

Group promotes healthy thinkingBy Stacy Neumann

Medical Department Activity Public Affairs

The instructor elaborates on cognitive models and the Yerkes-Dodson law, then the students recitethe three types of responses to a situation: physical, emotional andbehavioral. It’s the kind of lecture a person might expect to find in anycollege psychology class across thecountry. But this class takes place in a Fort Carson conference room.

The Medical Department ActivityDepartment of Behavioral Healthdebuted its “Behavioral Health 101”class in November. Each of theembedded behavioral health teamsaround the post conducts the coursefor Soldiers within their brigades who have sought behavioral healthhelp. At EBHT 3, the four-weekcourse starts the first Wednesday ofeach month and introduces troops to the scope of behavioral health services offered on post. Most of the course, though, focuses on basicbehavioral health concepts.

“It’s really important for people tounderstand what’s available, but also to get a firsthand view of methodology.Our Soldiers should know how to usethe cognitive-behavioral concepts presented in this group,” said BobStewart, a psychologist with EBHT 3.“I want them to go out and take this with them into every facet of theirlives. They’re essentially adding totheir psychological armor.”

He likes to call his class “healthythinking.” On one Wednesday morning,he scrawled “Session II: When ourthoughts work against us” onto the whiteboard. Thirteen Soldiers pulledout blue folders with worksheets,

started laughing and trading storiesabout an “activating event” that hadoccurred in the last week. The groupdissected anecdotes about gettingpulled over by police, trouble at thepost office, divorce delays and more.

“I’m big on techniques. Resourcesare helpful. I need concepts and strategies,” said one female Soldier.“This is teaching me how to approachmy anger.”

Animated and energetic, Stewartwent on to talk about how beliefs and perceptions can shape a person’sreactions to stressful events. Through personal stories, some theoreticalmodels and self-monitoring, Stewartwants to help Soldiers respond to adverse situations more effectively.

“They’re responsible for theirbehavioral health, and they are

responsible for their behavior orresponses to various situations,”Stewart said. “After this class, somehave said to me, ‘I have control overmy anxiety. I always thought I was just an anxious person.’”

A male Soldier said just one weekof the course has already helped him.

“It changed my week. I look ateverything differently. I can examinesituations before I get irate,” he said.“Instead of worrying about something,I smiled and laughed. Everything got easier.”

He smiled and said, “I already told one Soldier that his anger wascounterproductive.”

Stewart said the first two iterations of the class have been popular and he is hoping to offer twocourses a month. Soldiers who feel

they need help are screened and diagnosed by behavioral health specialists. They can then be referredto the class.

Near the end of the session,Stewart turned to the Soldiers andthrew up his hands: “How much control do we have over situations that occur in our lives?”

“Zero,” answered a chorus of voices.“That’s right,” the recently retired

colonel affirmed. “What we have control over is how we respond to the events that occur. Stuff happens.”

Directorate of Public Works public relations

Every day at work Rick Orphanthinks about improving the flow oftraffic on the installation to ensureSoldiers, civilians and visitors to FortCarson get where they need to go safely.

The traffic engineer for theDirectorate of Public WorksEngineering Division has been taking care of traffic at Fort Carsonfor 11 years through the challenges of rapid growth and limited roadwayimprovement funding.

Orphan is a one-man operation,responsible for the management of the traffic signal system, overseeingtraffic control projects to ensure they accommodate and ease traffic bottle-necks and conducting transpor tationstudies, which provide the basis forfuture road projects. He also serves asthe installation’s liaison with federal,state and local transportation agencies.

Transportation demands nevertake a break and every day in his

position is different than the last.“There really is no average day in

my position,” said Orphan. “I am thepost’s single point of contact for allthings related to our transportationinfrastructure, so, on any given day, I might need to support the (ProvostMarshal Office), the Physical SecurityOffice or any of the various safetyoffices in dealing with traffic-relatedissues; advise or assist the maintenancecrews responsible for traffic signals,signage and pavement stripping;review and approve traffic controlplans for projects postwide; or attend meetings, both scheduled and unscheduled.”

Recent major projects Orphanhelped orchestrate include the ColoradoDepartment of Transportation’s widening of State Highway 115between Gates 1 and 6 and the reopening of Gate 19, including the planned reconstruction andimprovement of Charter Oak RanchRoad linking the gate to Interstate 25.

“There is significant cost savingsassociated with these projects throughthe mitigation of traffic congestion,”said Orphan. “Less time stuck in traffic means more time for the Soldiersand the Fort Carson community,” said Orphan. “Reduced lost time,reduced fuel consumption and loweroperating costs benefit Fort Carson’smission and the community.”

An example of savings analyzedfrom one of these projects was foundin a study conducted on the conversionof Specker and Wetzel avenues to one-way roads in 2010. The studydetermined that the weekday peakhour savings resulting from that project was about $601,000 annually,based on avoiding delays in peoplegetting to work.

Orphan is not slowing down —more traffic projects are on the horizon. This year he plans to upgradethe installation’s traffic signals usingan advanced control system which will enable the coordination of signaloperations postwide. Another large

project is the widening of Butts Roadbetween Titus Boulevard and theCrows Foot Gate to four lanes toimprove traffic flow out to WildernessRoad and Butts Army Airfield.

Call 526-9267 for more informationabout Fort Carson’s traffic efforts.


Engineer ‘driven’ to reduce congestionRick Orphan, Directorate of Public Works trafficengineer, uploads data from the signal controllerat the intersection of O’Connell Boulevard andMagrath Avenue to check for traffic signal issues.

“Less time stuckin traffic meansmore time forthe Soldiers andthe Fort Carsoncommunity.”

Domestic violence is an unfortunate truth of society, and Fort Carson is no exception.

To curb the domestic violence numbers, ArmyCommunity Service offers classes to service-members and their Families.

ACS strives to not only prevent domestic violence, but to enhance quality of life for troops in various aspects, according to victim advocates.

“When you really look at it, everything that

ACS does can fit under (domesticviolence) prevention,” said Steve Frost, victim advocacy coordinator, Family AdvocacyProgram, ACS.

Ken Robinson, a former AirForce and Army chaplain who currently serves as a Family Advocacy Program specialist for the Soldier and Family ReadinessProgram, ACS, describes two typical forms of domestic violence crimes. The first is the classicpower control where one spouse uses emotional

distress or physical violence tocontrol the other. The other formis situational domestic violence,which arises from conflictingpersonalities between spouses.

Frost said situational domestic violence is more

common in the military than the classic power control.To help educate Families and prevent violence in

the home, ACS offers programs directed to change

Programs strengthen bonds, prevent violence

4th Combat Aviation Brigade Public Affairs Office,

4th Infantry Division

Roaring booms of powerful helicopter engines announced thearrival of the first 4th CombatAviation Brigade, 4th InfantryDivision, UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters at Butts Army Airfield, Jan. 20.

In addition to the three BlackHawks, the unit’s first three CH-47Chinook helicopters arrived Jan. 22.The 4th CAB currently has six ofeach aircraft and are expecting tohave more than 100 helicopterswhen fully operational.

Capt. Joshua Meyer, commander,Company A, 2nd Battalion (GeneralSupport), 4th Avn. Reg., 4th CAB,coordinated getting the helicoptersto Fort Carson. He and his Soldiersworked through the weekend to makesure there was a smooth transitionwhen the helicopters arrived.

“It’s a big deal for us because itmarks the arrival of the CAB here atFort Carson,” said Meyer. “A lot of peoplefrom the company, battalion and brigadehave been working hard for the last sixmonths. It means a lot to the Soldiersbecause they’re going to be working onand flying (the helicopters). They havebeen very busy working to meet therequirements so that these aircraft canarrive; establishing and validating our systems and procedures for maintenanceand flight operations. We are looking forward to flying them and maintainingthem at the company level.”

With the new helicopters, thebrigade can start working toward fullactivation and completing its mission toprovide attack aviation, air assault, heavylift and medical evacuation aviationoperations in support of 4th Inf. Div. andother division-sized units, said Maj. JasonS. Davis, brigade executive officer andacting brigade commander, 4th CAB.

The 4th CAB consisted of only 50Soldiers when Davis arrived in June andnow has more than 970 Soldiers. He saidthe brigade is projected to be completelymanned and activated, including subordinate units, in April 2014.

“We are ahead of schedule in a lot of areas, and areas that we facechallenges in are going to be areas that any unit faces in the Army today,with funding and facilities,” saidDavis. “I am really pleased with theprogress we’ve made.

“We’ve gotten a great number ofpeople in … (who are) ready to workand they dive into whatever their taskis,” he said. “They start building the systems and processes that we need.”

In addition to the arrival of newSoldiers, aircraft and equipment, trainingfor the brigade is vital to becoming mission ready.

Upcoming preparation includes basic

Soldier training, such as weapons qualification, Soldier tasks and drills and other skills that troops need to be proficient at, said Maj. George A. Hodges,operations officer, 4th CAB, 4th ID.

To house the brigade’s equipment andSoldiers, new structures are being built atButts Army Airfield. The Directorate ofPublic Works is working to get the CAB’sbuilding contracts approved and built.The biggest of the CAB’s constructionprojects is a complete renovation of Butts Army Airfield.

The CAB is getting five hangars, a new brigade headquarters building,runway and apron, control tower andbarracks, said Maj. Eli Adams, anOmaha District of the U.S. Army Corpsof Engineers project manager at FortCarson. He said there are currently nineauthorized projects out of 27 proposedconstruction projects. All projects areexpected to be complete by 2020.

Adams said the structure that standsout most to him is the first hangar to becompleted for the Aviation SupportBattalion. Most of the projects are proposed to be net zero developments.

“The need is there to rebuild thatairfield,” said Adams. “The facilities that we provide will be top quality and will be a great contribution to FortCarson. Our teams of engineers, who are working with the contractors, arehighly professional. The CAB has a lotto look forward to with the facilities that they are going to get and when they see the work completed, it will be a transformed Butts Army Airfield.”

4th CAB Soldiers worked quickly to get their first helicopters into thehangar and are continuing to work on them to make sure all preventivemaintenance, checks and services are done, so they can be ready to train and perform missions.

Commentary by Capt. Emily StuebingPublic Health Command District —

Fort Carson

Servicemembers and civil service employeesmoving to Germany will now pay importation fees upon their arrival.

This fee, which took effect Feb. 1, covers examination of pets by veterinary personnel fromthe German General Customs office. The fee will be the military member’s responsibility and will becharged at the port of entry.

At the Ramstein Air Base passenger terminal the fee is 55 euros per pet; credit cards are the onlyaccepted form of payment. The basic fee for pets

arriving through the Frankfurt International Airportis also 55 euros per pet; however, owners who present documentation (boarding pass, booking reference or ticket) showing they were on the sameflight as their pets will pay 35 euros per pet. Feesare increased by 50 percent on weekends andGerman holidays.

The Frankfurt International Airport staff acceptscash (euros only) or credit card; owners are urged to check with their credit card company prior totraveling to ensure the payment can be processed by a non-U.S. entity. People having pets flown into other locations in Germany should contact theairport border inspection post to determine whatfees and requirements apply.

Here are some important tips to rememberbefore moving to Germany with pets:þ An international health certificate issued by an

official veterinarian and a rabies vaccination certificate are required for entry into the EuropeanUnion. The certificate must be issued within 10 days of arrival.

þ Pet dogs, cats and ferrets must be identified with a microchip compatible with InternationalOrganization for Standardization 11784 or 11785.Compatible microchip brands include HomeAgain, Datamars, ResQ and Avid.

þ Pets older than three months must be vaccinatedagainst rabies. If bringing a kitten or puppy intoGermany that is not older than three months,owners need to purchase an import permit fromthe state authority of the future domicile and the state authority of the port of entry (contactinformation is available at http://www.germany.infoand click on “Visa, Passport & Legal” and then “Pets: Cats, Dogs, Ferrets.” The rabies

vaccination must occur after the identity of thepet has been established through a microchip.Any rabies vaccination occurring beforemicrochip implantation will not be recognized.

þ Contact the airline prior to travel for specific regulations, to include temperature travelingrestrictions.

þ The import of pit-bull terriers, AmericanStaffordshire terriers and Staffordshire bull terriers and their crossbreeds is prohibited.Most importantly, start the process of getting

a pet ready for travel at least six months prior to the departure date. The Fort Carson VeterinaryCenter can help with the process by providing thenecessary vaccines, health certificate and educationprior to the move. The center is located at 1535Sheridan Ave. in building 6190, and the staff can be contacted at 526-3803.

Pet importation requirements can be found at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service website athttp://www.aphis.usda.gov/regulations/vs/iregs/animals. Be sure to check the website regularlyas country-specific regulations can change.

Commentary by Chap. (Maj.) Doug Ball

2nd Brigade CombatTeam, 4th Infantry

Division

In 2008, I had the opportunity to be on theground floor as one of thechaplains starting a newchapel service on post called Chapel Next.

Now, after a few yearsaway from Fort Carson, Ihave the unique opportunityto come back and work withthe Chapel Next service onceagain. It is now a thrivingservice that has been steadilygrowing over the past yearunder the leadership ofChap. (Maj.) Pete Keough.

As Chapel Next, ourdesire is to work with thenext generation of Soldiersand Families. We are specifically working to provide a chapel experiencethat serves and appeals toour single Soldiers andyounger Families. Whether

trying to discover what youbelieve, working to establisha spiritual walk or well onthe way in your spiritualjourney, we want to help leadyou to the next step in anever-deepening relationshipwith Jesus Christ.

We believe that worshipin a chapel can be exciting— contemporary and cutting-edge worship music,video segments and real-life application of God’s word.Worship involves enteringGod’s presence and beingchanged by him, and we just don’t think that shouldbe boring.

We believe that you’relooking for more than just a chapel service; you want a chapel community — fellowship, small groups and people who love andsupport you through toughtimes. If your spouse isdeployed and you need a“family,” if you are new tothe Army and looking forfriends, or if you are looking

for fellow believers to assistyou in your spiritual journey,you can find authentic, loving and lasting personalrelationships at Chapel Next.

We believe that thewholeness, significance, passion and purpose that you are seeking can be found — right now, here inthe Army — when we arepart of God’s kingdomthrough Jesus Christ. As wespread the message of God’slove through actions andwords and discover the purposes for which God hascreated us, we find fulfillmentand meaning in life.

So we invite you to join us. Chapel Next meetsat Veterans Chapel, on TitusBoulevard between Barkeleyand McGrath avenues. The service begins at 10 a.m.Sunday and lasts about an hour. We can’t promisethat we can change your life, but we can promise thattaking the next step withChrist will transform it.

Members of the community gatheredat the Foxhole Sports and EntertainmentLounge Sunday to watch the BaltimoreRavens and San Francisco 49ers battle itout in Super Bowl XLVII.

As the crowd began to gather, itbecame obvious that the room would notbe filled with Ravens and 49ers fans, butfootball fans who anticipated seeing agood game and being in good company.

Colton King was watching theNational Football League championshipgame for the first time in three years. Hewasn’t interested in last year’s matchupbetween the New England Patriots andNew York Giants and was deployed forthe two prior Super Bowls.

King said he thought it was going to be a close game this year and that he liked the storyline of the brothers, Jim and John Harbaugh, coaching against each other.

“There are other good storylines, too— this being Ray Lewis’ last game and arookie quarterback for the 49ers, but I thinkthe Ravens will win the game,” he said.

Frankie Navarro, who will soon beassigned overseas, said it was a chance for him to feel close to one of his hometown teams andwatch the game with fellow Soldiers before leaving the country.

“I’m rooting for the 49ers to win today. I’mfrom California, so I’ve got to root for the hometeam. I came today because I think (it) is a goodthing that the post has something like this wherepeople in the barracks can come and watch the game with other Soldiers and Family members. Ithink it’s a good thing that the post thinks aboutSoldiers in this way and gives us an opportunity towatch a game in a venue like this,” Navarro said.

Adam Lovewell and his wife, Kayla Lovewell,brought their daughter to the lounge to watch thegame because they wanted to return to the loungebecause they enjoyed the atmosphere during the Super Bowl the past few years.

“We have been here before and the last time wecame it was a lot of fun,” said Adam Lovewell. “We decided we wanted to come back again thisyear to watch the game with members of the post community. My wife and I consider this a very positive experience and a nice setting to watch the game.”

The Ravens owned what seemed to be a comfortable 28-6 lead after Jacoby Jones returned

the second-half kickoff for a Super Bowl record108-yard touchdown. Following a 34-minute poweroutage at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in NewOrleans, the 49ers stormed back, outscoring theRavens 23-3 to pull within five points. The Ravensadded a late field goal and then stopped the 49ersfollowing a first and goal inside the 10 yard line.The Ravens opted to run the clock on fourth downprior to taking a safety. Time expired on the ensuing free kick and the Ravens raised the VinceLombardi Trophy following a 34-31 victory.

Mountaineer Athlete of the Week


Tracy McDanielYouth basketball coach

What do you like best about coaching youth sports?The best thing about coaching youth sports is watching the fun the

kids have. At this point, the kids may not have the best skills they will (ever) have, but it’s great to see them out having fun and learning the skills involved in the game.

What is your best personal sports moment?I was playing basketball for my unit at my first duty station, and in the

first game I played for them, I was able to hit a game-winning shot. I was at the free-throw line; I went for jump shot and I made it. We were tied at the time so there wasn’t too much pressure. If I missed the shot, we would go to overtime.

What would you consider your best professional sports moment?I grew up in Indiana as a big Michael Jordan fan and my favorite moment

is when he made that shot over Craig Ehlo of the Cleveland Cavaliers to win the playoff series (in 1989).

If you could change anything in sports what would it be?I would like to see the NBA go to a best-of-five series until they get to

the conference and NBA Finals. I think it would make the playoffs more competitive in the earlier rounds with teams knowing they don’t have as many chances to win.

If you could meet any athlete who would it be?I would love to be able to spend some time with Michael Jordan. Growing

up I met (his Chicago Bulls teammates) Horace Grant and Scottie Pippen, but Michael is the one person I would love to talk with to get some tips on the game of basketball.

People who don’t know me would be surprised to know ... I take a lot of pride in being a youth basketball coach. I like to make

sure that the kids don’t feel pressure to play and know how much fun the game is. The kids like to win, but (winning is) not the biggest thing in the world ... to them (it’s) having fun (playing the game).

The Forney Museum ofTransportation has more cars thantrains and planes — dozens of automobiles are on display. Somecars have historic significance, suchas the 1923 Kissel yellow roadsterthat belonged to aviator AmeliaEarhart. She was the first womanpilot to cross the Atlantic.

There’s the 1923 Hispano SuizaVictoria Town Car that had six wheels.It was built for a king who wasdeposed before the car was finished.

A 1927 Rolls Royce, originally owned by Prince Aly Khan, is displayed.

There are unusual cars on display, including a pink Brewsterthat has a heart-shaped grill, a carwith only three wheels and a car thatcould run on land and in water.

There are early cars by makersmost people never heard of —Vauxhall, Metz, Maxwell, Saxon,Cord, REO, Sears, Pope-Tribune,Knox, Nyberg, Hupmobile, Franklin,Empire and Cole. Those cars are in the museum, along with cars that were driven by people a couple of generations ago, such as the Studebaker, Hudson, Edsel and Packard.

There are two cars in the museum that visitors can get into —a Model T Ford and a Jeep.

Despite the large number of cars displayed, there’s not room for all of them in the 140,000 square-foot museum.

The rest of the collection is

stored in another building and carsare rotated through the museum when displays are changed.

Although cars make up thelargest part of the museum’s display,other modes of transportation are exhibited.

There’s the Big Boy steam locomotive, one of the largest locomotives ever built, as well as a locomotive made in Germanyand train cars from the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad.

The collection includes stagecoaches, carriages, bicycles, trolleys,wagons and a 1923 Case tractor that could run on straw, wood or coal. Also, a bus made of wood, a sputnik satellite replica and an aircraft are displayed.

There are dozens of motorcycles— Hondas, Indians and Harley-Davidsons, including a collection of50 vintage cycles that belonged toWalter Timme, a dealer from Pueblo.

No one could imagine that one Kissel car could lead to such amassive collection.

J.D. Forney was always a hardworker; growing up on a farm. Aftercollege, he was an encyclopediasalesman and sales were slow duringthe depression.

To support his family, he inventedan instant heat soldering iron andother farm welders. He also createdbattery chargers, vacuum cleanersand an aircraft, and founded ForneyIndustries in Fort Collins.

His family thought he worked too hard, and to distract him, found aKissel car like the one he’d driven as a teenager. He had it painted yellow and drove it to work.

Places to see in thePikes Peak area.

Hearing about his old car, people began offering to trade theirold cars for the welders they needed.Forney made the trades and his carcollection grew.

He drove some of his old cars in parades and people kept asking tovisit his collection.

He first opened a museum tohouse his car collection in a Denvershopping center. He later moved themuseum to a brick warehouse neardowntown Denver.

After 30 years in the warehouse,Forney decided to move the museumagain, rather than refurbish the warehouse. The transportation collection was stored while the newlocation was prepared.

The new museum opened in 2001.Forney Museum of Transportation

is a good place to visit on a cold orrainy day. People of all ages can spendtime looking at old cars, motorcyclesand trains. All displays are inside.

The museum is at 4303 BrightonBlvd.; call 303-297-1112. It’s openMonday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A special exhibit in the museum until April 30 is “WoodieStation Wagons.”

The museum also has a gift shopthat features transportation-relateditems, including miniature cars,

books, train-related items, videos and children’s pedal cars. There are T-shirts,caps, games and cups.

Admission is $8 for adults and $4 for children ages 3-12. Childrenunder 3 are admitted free. There’s a $1 discount for active-duty servicemembers. The website ishttp://www.forneymuseum.com.
