One of the most requestedphone numbers from the baseoperator is for Bob Tomlinson.Why is he so popular? He’sPeterson’s air and pollution pre-vention manager.

Since taking the position in2001, Peterson has increased itsrecycling program from 25 per-cent to more than 40 percentparticipation. While that’s abovethe Department of Defensegoal, it doesn’t reach space com-mand’s goal of 50 percent.

“We get a monthly report onhousing, and we’re doing prettygood,” he said. “While we’re at25 percent participation, we’redoing better than the City ofColorado Springs at 16 percent,

we can do better.”Programs in place are for

white office paper, cardboard,newspaper, aluminum and steelcans and some plastics.

Housing residents have curb-side recycling available everyother Tuesday. Items need to besorted, put in bins provided andplace at their curbs.

A basewide recycling dump-ster is located at Ent Avenueand Goodfellow Street. It ac-cepts cardboard, newspapers,magazine, chipboard, cans,steel and some plastics.Cardboard containers also areavailable throughout the base.

The recycling containers areself-sustaining.

“We pay for everything upfront,” Tomlinson said, “so the

more people who participate,the more we can make. You domore because it costs us less.”

Rick Michael of the 21st CivilEngineering Squadron is baseenergy manager. He said thatenergy conservation iseveryone’s concern.

According to Michael, theEnergy Policy Act requires allfederal entities to reduce energyuse by 2 percent each year until2015.

“Facility managers are dele-gated these responsibilities foreach of their buildings,”Michael said. “Every buildingoccupant should strive to con-serve energy at work as they doat home. In military family

AF 60th Anniversary art exhibit opens By Staff Sgt. Julie Weckerlein

Air Force Print News

WASHINGTON — The Air Force’s topleader opened the 60th Anniversary Art Exhibitat the Pentagon last week with a ribbon-cut-ting ceremony.

“We have a wonderful heritage,” Secretaryof the Air Force Michael W. Wynne told thecrowd of more than 60 people, including AirForce art program artists, who were standingbetween corridors five and six on thePentagon’s first floor. “The celebration of ourairmen’s work is captured here in the celebra-

tion of great artistry.” The works of several artists are hanging

along the halls of the Pentagon. Watercolors depicted aircraft in flight and

airmen working alongside each other. Outside the corridors, in the Pentagon’s

courtyard, sat two vehicles covered withcustom paintings.

Artist Mickey Harris painted a Hummer forCNN called “Warrior One,” which is a tributeto two camera operators who died in Iraq.

The other vehicle, a pick-up truck called“Standin’ Proud,” shows images of Operations

Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, and liststhe names of men and women killed in combat.

The Air Force Art Program began in 1950,when the Army transferred about 800 worksof art documenting the early Army Air Corpsto the Air Force. About the same time, Gen.Curtis LeMay began a “portrait” program.

Keith Ferris, who has been part of the AirForce Art Program for 45 years, also spoke atthe ribbon-cutting.

“Our job is to paint for posterity,” he said.“We have a real responsibility to do a paintingthat is going to last for 200 years or more.”

Secretary of the Air Force Michael W. Wynne discusses Keith Ferris and the other artists that participated in the Air Force’s Art Program and 60th Anniversary Art Exhibit.

Most military families get into troublewhen small emergencies come along andthey’re already stretched thin financially,Arsht said. DoD’s financial readiness cam-paign aims to teach servicemembers how

to save and plan for these emergencies, sothey’re prepared and ready to do their jobs.

“Financial readiness is equivalent to mis-sion readiness,” she said. “We have recordsand history that show if you are worriedabout your finances, you’re not going to beas ready or as focused on the mission. Sowe want to help families address these issuesbefore they become a crisis and to really en-

courage them to make these sounder finan-cial choices.”

Other classes available through the PFMPare “Car Buying-Information,” “How Safe isYour Bank?” and “Checkbook BalancingExercise.”

housing, occupants are directly respon-sible for energy conservation in theirquarters. It’s a team effort and we needthe help of every member of Team Petein this endeavor.”

Michael said that base civil engineersare constantly evaluating facility de-signs, mechanical and electrical sys-tems and landscaping methods.

“Additionally, buildings are auditedperiodically and evaluated for energysaving retrofits and repairs,” he said.“When money becomes available, weupgrade these items to capture theavailable savings. New technologies arealways being tested and those that func-tion well are immediately implementedwhen possible.”

Michael said that all energy used onbase is tracked and reported toCongress.

“Base senior leadership is briefedtwice a year on how we are doing,” hesaid. “Their guidance and directionsteer us toward one of the goals of ournation: less reliance on foreign oil

through efficient use of natural re-sources.”

Winter energy savings tips

Michael said that homeowners needto prepare for the onset of a long, coldwinter.

“In order to ensure a comfortablehouse with the minimum energy costs,residents should be tuning up their fur-naces and examining their houses forheat losses due to air infiltration andinadequate insulation,” he said. “Startwith your house, the main culprit: coldair infiltration around windows anddoors.”

Michael also recommended re-placing or installing seals around win-dows and doors, because infiltrationfrom outside air entering a buildingthrough cracks around windows anddoors can cause discomfort and aremajor contributors to unnecessaryheating energy costs.

Furnaces, like automobiles, need reg-ular maintenance or tune-ups, he said.

“Higher efficiencies are achieved bytuning up your furnace and changingthe filters each month,” Michael said.“Additionally, a furnace inspection willdiscover potential problems and pro-tect you and your family from carbonmonoxide poisoning.”

Michael said that lowering indoorthermostats can save about 5 percentof gas usage for every degree.

“For families on the go, a program-mable thermostat can save lots ofenergy by lowering the space temper-ature while you’re not there,” he said.“A ‘vacation hold’ feature allows you tooverride the program and maintain amore energy efficient profile if youleave your home for several days duringthe holidays.”

Michael also recommended re-placing incandescent bulbs with com-pact fluorescent lamps where practical.

“They will produce more light, last upto 10 times longer, and save up to 75percent in lighting energy,” he said.

If you are thinking about new appli-ances always look for the Energy Starand Energy Guide labeled appliances,Michaels said. “These can save you 15-20 percent on energy costs compared tothe older ‘standard’ appliances.”

Recycle: Energy tipsFrom page 1

Save Energy Today

Low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy.

� Set your thermostat comfortably lowin the winter and comfortably high in thesummer. Install a programmable thermo-stat that is compatible with your heatingand cooling system.� Use compact fluorescent light bulbs.� Air dry dishes instead of using your

dishwasher's drying cycle.� Turn off your computer and monitor

when not in use.� Plug home electronics, such as TVs

and DVD players, into power strips; turnthe power strips off when the equipmentis not in use (TVs and DVDs in standbymode still use several watts of power).� Lower the thermostat on your hot

water heater to 120° F.� Take short showers instead of baths.� Wash only full loads of dishes and

clothes.� Drive sensibly. Aggressive driving

(speeding, rapid acceleration and braking)wastes gasoline.

1 in 8 women affected

By Amy PatschPeterson AFB Health and Wellness Center,

Health Education Program Manager

Do you know eight women? Onewoman in eight either has or will de-velop breast cancer in her lifetime. Thisyear in America, more than 212,000women will be diagnosed with breastcancer and 43,300 will die.

However, there is good news. If de-tected early, the five-year survival rateexceeds 95 percent. One of the bestearly detection methods is mammog-raphy, yet 13 million U.S. women 40years of age or older have never had amammogram. Help protect the womenin your life and remind them aboutbreast cancer detection.

The best ways to detect breast cancerincludes mammography, clinical breastexams and self breast exams. Mammo-grams are X-ray pictures of the breast.They can detect breast cancer in its ear-liest stages, even before a lump can be

felt. All women 40 and older shouldhave a mammogram every year. If youare younger than 40 and have a historyof breast cancer in your family, discussa personal mammography screeningschedule with your health care provider.

Going back to the futurewith a lot of classic cars

By Nel LampeCSMNG

Forney Museum of Transportation inDenver houses a collection that could becalled “anything on wheels.” But, the em-phasis is on cars — unusual cars, three-wheeled cars, luxurious cars, cars fromcompanies no longer in existence, cars onceowned by royalty or celebrities, muscle carsand rare cars.

The collection also includes other formsof transportation, such as trolleys, trains,motorcycles, carriages, bicycles and cov-ered wagons.

A special amphibious vehicle also is on ex-hibit.

The Amphicar was built in Germanyfrom 1961-1968. Almost 4,000 vehicles wereproduced, and more than 3,000 were im-ported into the United States. TheAmphicar has a top speed of 7 mph onwater and 70 mph on land.

The Amphicars are all convertibles andwere offered in four colors — beach white,regatta red, lagoon blue and fjord green.The cars have twin propellers.

A 1967 regatta red Amphicar will be ondisplay through January.

The Forney Museum of Transportationwas started 50 years ago by Rachel and J.D.Forney. The museum has been in severallocations during its existence, starting withthe Forney family garage.

The museum also was housed in the

warehouse building now occupied byRecreational Equipment Inc., near down-town Denver.

It was closed for several years whilethe new location was readied. The ForneyMuseum of Transportation is now locatednear the Denver Coliseum off Interstate70.

J. D. Forney founded Forney Industries inFort Collins. He invented a farm welder anda line of welding equipment.

Forney’s family thought he worked toohard, so they tried to give him a diversionby presenting him an old Kissel automo-bile, similar to one he’d owned as a teenager.From this one car, he started a collection.Before long, the collection included trains,planes and automobiles.

Although the 70,000 square-foot displayarea is chock-full of cars, trains and trol-leys, there’s not enough room, so cars arerotated through the display.

Except for a 1915 Model T on display, thecars are “hands off.” Visitors may get in theModel T to pretend to drive or pose forphotographs. An assortment of old-fash-ioned clothes is available to help create theambiance. There’s no additional charge. Acouple of the trains also can be visited.

A special car in the museum is a 1923Kissel, which was owned by aviator AmeliaEarhart. She called the bright yellow car

See Cars page 11This is the only known 1912 Renault Opera Coupe in existence. Louis Renault was the first automobile man-ufacturer to use drive shafts in cars.

pe

“Yellow Peril.” The car had a rumble seatand a pull out seat.

There are several other Kissels in the col-lection — 1917, 1919, 1924 and 1927 models.The Kissel was made in Harford, Wis.

Other unusual cars in the collection in-clude a 1923 Hispano-Suiza, which was themost expensive car in the world in its time.It was reportedly used as a German armystaff car during World War II.

The Hispano-Suiza has six wheels andtwo spare tires and was a favorite of royaltyand celebrities. The Hispano Suiza enginewas used in aircraft during World War II.

A rare Nyberg is one of only two in exis-tence. A 1912 Vauxhall limousine is the onlyone in the world. A bright red 1934 PierceArrow, made in Buffalo, N.Y., is a sight tobehold.

There’s a Searchmont Touring car, a 1910Rambler, a Jaguar, a 1955 Thunderbird anda “Purple People Eater,” a contraption witheight wheels.

Pete hoops squad fallsto All-Army team, 99-82

By Walt JohnsonCSMNG

The Peterson All Stars went to FortCarson on Saturday to play the All-Armybasketball team and didn’t find the samesuccess it had Oct. 16 when the Air Forceteam defeated the squad of soldiers.

The All-Army team used its home courtadvantage to take a 99-82 victory, eveningthe series at a game apiece. The third gameof the series was scheduled to take placeWednesday at Fort Carson.

The Army team was able to apply more de-fensive pressure to the Peterson team on itshome floor, leading the Peterson team to anuncharacteristic bad shooting first half, al-lowing the Army team to open up a doubledigit lead that the team never surrendered.

Peterson’s Andre Hope said it was thework of Mike Chandler that led to the teamsplaying the series, which is turning out to beof benefit to both the All-Army team and thePeterson All Stars.

“Mike Chandler was the one that put the

Peterson team together and he deserves a lotof credit for that,” Hope said. “When Mikesent out the e-mail asking for people to playthe game I felt it would be like an intra-mural game and nowhere near the inten-sity of this game. My first thought was theyjust wanted to use us to get ready for theinterservice tournament, but once we gotto the gym it was like the Air Force againstthe Army and I got kind of excited aboutplaying the games. We looked at it like theyare the Army’s All-Stars and if we beat themwe have accomplished something.”

Hope said the key to winning the firstgame was overcoming the pressure of theArmy team. He said that despite the lossSaturday, he still thinks this series was awin-win for both sides.

“We know we are helping the Army getready for the interservice tournament and Idon’t have a problem with that,” Hope said. “It’sturned out to be a good chance for us to seewhat they have prior to the tournamentwhich is a big help to the Air Force team, too.”

Question: What can I do to make myhome more attractive to buyers and to helpspeed up the selling process?

Answer: After many years of what hasbeen referred to as a “seller’s market,” thetide has begun to turn.

With a record number of homes, both oldand new, currently on the market, the com-petition is fierce between existing homesand new construction.

The benefits that existing homes oncehad over new homes, such as pricingand mature neighborhoods, are disap-pearing.

Here is a list of ways to make your ex-isting home more attractive to buyers andhelp speed up the process.

1. Price it right. Set a realistic price foryour home, not a dream number.

2. Get a home inspection and make itavailable to potential buyers. A home in-spection before your house goes on themarket gives you the opportunity to makerepairs that will put the house in betterselling condition and boost consumer con-fidence that your property has been wellmaintained.

3. Get your house market-ready at leasttwo weeks before you begin showing it.

� Get rid of clutter. Throw out or storenewspapers and magazines outside thehouse. Pack away most of your small dec-orative items. Store out-of-season clothingto make closets seem roomier. Clean outthe garage.

� Clean carpeting and drapes to elim-

inate cooking odors, smoke and any otherodors.

� Put higher wattage bulbs in lightsockets to make rooms seem brighter, espe-cially basements and other dark rooms.

� Keep everything extra clean. Washfingerprints from light switch plates. Mopand wax floors. Clean the stove and refrig-erator. A clean house makes a better firstimpression and convinces buyers that thehome has been well cared for.

� Tidy your yard. Cut the grass, rake theleaves, trim the bushes and edge the walks.Put a pot or two of bright flowers near theentryway.

4. Be flexible about showing your home.Selling your home disrupts your usual rou-tines, but the more flexible you can be, thesooner you will find a buyer.

5. Be prepared to respond to offers.Decide in advance what minimum priceand terms you’ll accept.

6. Consider lowering the asking price.Consult with your Realtor about when thetime is right to lower the price. Don’t refuseto drop the price.

This column, brought to you by theColorado Association of Realtors, is meantas general information. Consult your localRealtor regarding specifics about homebuying or selling. Please submit your questionsto Tyrone Adams, 309 Inverness Way South,Englewood, CO 80112-5818 or [email protected].
