El Paso County Commissioners Visit Peterson

COMMANDER’S CORNER: TEAM PETERSON’S SPORTS AND FIELD DAY - PAGE 3 Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado

Thursday, June 26, 2008 Vol. 52 No. 26 El Paso County commissioners visit Peterson By Corey Dahl Space Observer Two El Paso County commissioners visited Peterson June 17 to learn more about the base and its missions. Amy Lathen, commissioner for District 2, and Dennis Hisey, commissioner from District 4, spent the morning receiving briefi ngs on the 21st Space Wing and its missions. Later, both commissioners were treated to a tour of the base. Th ey also learned about important local projects aff ecting Peterson, such as upcoming traffi c improvements on Powers Boulevard and the base’s growth plans. Th ough they have visited Peterson before, both commissioners said they were thoroughly impressed by the improvements that have been made here and the base’s plans for the future. “I was struck by the professionalism and the forward thinking,” Ms. Lathen said. “Just everything you’re doing here.” Both Ms. Lathen and Mr. Hisey said it’s important for the county to preserve a strong working relationship with Peterson because many county and base issues cross paths. Several units on base, such as the fi re department and the explosives ordinance disposal team, also support county and city services when they need help. “Peterson supports so many of our services around the county,” Mr. Hisey said. “It’s not just what’s inside the fence here. Without them, we’d lose a lot of support, so our relationship is critical.” Both commissioners said they look forward to working with Peterson for years to come and expressed gratitude for the contributions local Airmen make to the community.

Sports Day is an annual event that gives members of the wing time to build teamwork skills and boost morale. The event also offers the wing a chance to ﬂ ex its “Fit to Fight” muscles. Thousands turn out for annual Sports Day By Corey Dahl Space Observer Members of Team Pete put their game faces on June 19 for the base’s annual Sports and Field Day. More than 2,000 Airmen and civilians spent the day competing in dozens of sports, from running and swimming to darts and dominoes. Participants also snacked on free food and listened to live music at a barbeque in Eagle Park. And at the end of the day, the units with the best scores received awards at a brief ceremony in the park. Th e day, said Ben Beck, the event’s organizer, was all about building teamwork skills and boosting morale. “Sports Day is just about friendly competition,” said Mr. Beck, 21st Services Squadron fi tness and sports center manager. “It’s also a chance for the wing commander to give back to Team Pete.” Mission accomplished — at least as far as Staff Sgt. Carlos Isaac is concerned. Sergeant Isaac, who works in the area dental lab, said he had a great time and spent the day playing tug-of-war, bowling, eating — and getting to know his co-workers better. “You don’t usually get to interact with a lot of other people from diff erent squadrons, so it’s nice to get to know each other,” he said. But giving Peterson employees a day of fun and camaraderie is no easy feat. About 75 volunteers helped organize the event along with all of the men and women of the 21st SVS. Th e entire event took about six months to organize, Mr. Beck said. Capt. Jason Schlarb is presented a plaque for superior sports performance during Sports Day activities June 19 at Peterson. Frank Padovich said he, and many other Sports Day participants, appreciate the hard work and extra eff ort that goes into making the day happen. Mr. Padovich, who works as an engineer with the 721st Mission Support Group at Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, said the day allows him and his colleagues to interact with the rest of the 21st Space Wing and Team Pete — an unusual, but pleasant, occurrence. “It’s nice to be part of the wing, come down and participate and have some fun,” Mr. Padovich said. “I used to be stationed here, and I know how much work goes into this. It’s really great that they do it for us.” W I Large Units N N First Place — AFSPC A8/A9, 135 E Second Place — 21st Dental, 127 R Third Place — SMC, 125
