    Vol. 69 No. 17 April 29, 2011 Word of the month: Heritage Net Zero Army IDs Carson Public Affairs Office Fort Carson has been designated as one of two Army “Net Zero” installations. Katherine Hammack, assistant secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy and Environment, made the announcement at the Installation Management Symposium in San Antonio April 19. The categories considered for installation Net Zero status were energy, water and waste. “Because of the high quality and capability of the installations, we couldn’t narrow it down to five (installations) in each category and one for overall. We ended up narrowing it down to six in each category and two overall. The two overall installations are Fort Carson, Colo., and Fort Bliss, Texas,” said Hammack in a media roundtable held in conjunction with the symposium. Fort Carson self-nominated to become a Net Zero installation in March to challenge its already robust energy, water and waste sustainability goals and to advance the resource-conscious posture of today’s Army. “We’ve already got one of the largest solar arrays, which has been reducing our energy consumption, particularly for housing,” said Brig. Gen. James H. Doty, acting senior commander, 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson, in the media roundtable. “We also have a qualified recycling program that we will endeavor to start looking at using gray water for reuse on the golf course and some other things. In the (combat aviation brigade) buildings, we’re going to try to make every one of those buildings effectively Net Zero when they are constructed.” The Net Zero energy designation will require Fort Carson to produce as much energy on site as it uses.

  • Forgotten Heroes
    Forgotten Heroes: Sam Hairston by Center for Negro League Baseball Research Dr. Layton Revel Copyright 2020 “Sam Hairston Night” – Colorado Springs (1955) “Sam Hairston Night” at the Colorado Springs Sky Sox Ball Park Sam Receives a New Car (1955) Hairston Family at Colorado Springs Ball Park “Sam Hairston Night” (front row left to right - Johnny, Sam Jr., Wife and Jerry) (1955) Samuel Harding Hairston was born on January 20, 1920 in the small town of Crawford, Lowndes County which is in the eastern part of the state of Mississippi. He was the second of thirteen children (eight boys and five girls) born to Will and Clara Hairston. Will Hairston moved his family from Crawford to the Birmingham area in 1922. The primary reason for the move was to find better work so that he could support his large family. Will became a coal miner and worked alongside Garnett Bankhead who was the father of the five Bankhead brothers who all played in the Negro Leagues. By 1930 Will had gained employment with American Cast Iron and Pipe (ACIPCO) as a laborer in their pipe shop. According to United States census records the Hairston family also lived in North Birmingham and Sayreton. Sam spent his formative years in Hooper City and attended Hooper City High School. Reportedly Sam did not finish high school and when he was 16 he told the employment office at ACIPCO that he was 18 and was given a job working for the company. According to Sam he went to work to help support the family and give his brothers and sisters the opportunity to go to school.

  • Some Firsts in Island Leisure Robert C. Schmitt Leisure Time Activities Have Always Excited Great Interest and Enthusiasm Among
    Some Firsts in Island Leisure Robert C. Schmitt Leisure time activities have always excited great interest and enthusiasm among Hawaii's residents. Long before Captain Cook's arrival, the ancient Hawaiians danced, sang, fished, played sports and games and produced works of considerable artistic merit.1 Since 1778, the range of recreational, entertainment, and sporting activities available to Islanders has greatly increased. It now encompasses parks, zoos, museums, and libraries, plays and movies, concerts and recorded music, radio and television, comic strips and crossword puzzles, and numerous participant and spectator sports, from professional baseball to snorkeling and hang gliding. To the social historian, the origins of these pursuits is a matter of considerable interest. It is impossible, obviously, to assign a date to the first Hawaiian konane game or holua sled, the first hula, or the earliest recreational fishing. More recent developments, however, can often be traced. When did Hawaii have its first community theater? Its first camera club ? Its earliest basketball game ? Information on such subjects frequently exists, but in widely scattered and poorly documented form. The following pages stem from an effort to pull some of this fugitive material together, to footnote it, and make it available to a wider public. The choice of items for inclusion was inevitably somewhat arbitrary and idiosyncratic, and their miscellaneous nature precluded any rigorous organizational format. Designating any event "first" is moreover a risky business: a compilation of this kind can hardly avoid occasional incom- pleteness and inaccuracy. With this caveat, then, here are the "firsts". Robert C. Schmitt is Hawaii State Statistician.
