News briefs
Starting Feb. 17, all visitors and
workers entering Fort Sill who do
not have a Department of
Defense identification card will
be required to obtain a temporary
pass at the Visitor Control Center.
A Veteran’s Affairs health care
card is not sufficient. The VCC is
on Sheridan Road just past the
Bentley Gate welcome sign.
Alcohol sales
Beginning Feb. 9, Fort Sill facilities will shorten their hours of
alcohol sales. Facilities that sell
packaged alcohol, such as
AAFES Express stations (shoppettes), the AAFES Exchange
(PX) and LETRA, will not sell
alcohol (beer, wine and spirits)
between 10 p.m. and 10 a.m.
daily. This change helps support
the intent of local laws and more
closely aligns post sales policy
with local communities. In addition, the change in hours reduces
the availability of alcohol during
times that have been associated
with historic spikes in alcoholrelated incidents and accidents.
Implementing these simple
measures, should create conditions more reflective of the
Army’s professional ethic. In the
end, the change is about improving Soldier performance and
taking care of families.
Reclamation sale
A Fort Sill reclamation sale is
Feb. 7 from 8 a.m. to noon in
Bldg. 2102, Currie Road.
Customers may purchase an
Army Service Uniform, but are
limited to one. Sales are cash
only, and a military ID card is
required to make purchases.
Due to the sale, the Clothing
Turn In Point facility is closed
Feb. 6 at 12:30 p.m. For more
information, call 580-442-2712.
Tax center open
The Fort Sill Income Tax
Assistance Center (ITAC) is
open Mondays through Fridays
from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; and
Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.,
in Bldg. 4700, fourth floor. It is
currently only taking walk-in
clients. Appointments can be
scheduled beginning Feb. 18.

The past several months have
been busy for Fort Sill Drill
Sergeant of the Year (Staff Sgt.)
Lindsay Hultman, Headquarters
and Headquarters Battery, 434th
Field Artillery Brigade.
After winning the title in May,
she assumed her new role as the
liaison between the 300+ drill sergeants and the 434th FA Brigade
commander and command sergeant major. The DSoY was also
responsible for implementing any
Training and Doctrine Command
updates to Basic Combat Training.
“It (DSoY) gave me insight of
how TRADOC develops training
and how they come up with the
training plan and how they execute it at that level,” Hultman said.
A couple areas that she worked
included increasing physical training in BCT, as well as giving one
week off for drill sergeants, or a
“trail break” after the first year of
their two-year tour.
In September, at the TRADOC
DSoY competition at Fort
Jackson, S.C., Hultman came in
second.
“It was a challenging week.
From that, I learned how much
you can really push yourself,” she
said.
Now Hultman is busy preparing
the 2015 Fort Sill DSoY course for
the competition in April.
Hultman
along
with
Noncommissioned Officer of the
Year Sgt. 1st Class Wesley Weaver,
and Soldier of the Year Sgt. Vivian
Sgt. Vivian Rebstock, Sgt. 1st Class Wesley Weaver and Drill Sergeant
(Staff Sgt.) Lindsay Hultman were honored as the Fort Sill 2014 Solider,
Noncommissioned Officer and Drill Sergeant of the Year respectively
Jan. 29, at the Patriot Club.
Rebstock, were recognized as Fort
Sill’s finest 2014 Soldiers during a
ceremony Jan. 29 at the Patriot
Club.
Hundreds of fellow Soldiers,
and post and community leaders
attended the luncheon to pay homage to the three.
Speaker Command Sgt. Maj.
Chad McNeish, 31st Air Defense
Artillery Brigade, noted that
Rebstock, who won Soldier of the
Year as a specialist has since been
promoted, so “we are here to cele-
brate excellence ... and the backbone of the Army.”
The honored NCOs achieved
their success through personal
sacrifice, determination and committment, McNeish said. “Their
courage and pursuit of excellence
should serve as an inspiration to
us all.
“I’m proud of NCOs like
Sergeant First Class Weaver, Staff
Sergeant Hultman and Sergeant

Soldier chefs here competed in the annual Fort Sill
Chef of the Year Competition last week.
Held in the former Guns and Rockets Dining
Facility (DFAC) so that normal operations could continue in the Staff Sgt. Juan Garcia DFAC, the food
service specialists representing the 214th Fires, the
31st Air Defense Artillery and 75th Field Artillery
brigades demonstrated their culinary skills and
knowledge in the three-part event.
“The competition is designed to test both knowledge and technique,” explained Staff Sgt. Michael
Gardner, 4th Battalion, 3rd Air Defense Artillery, one
of the judges.“We did this by dividing it into three portions: a board portion, written knowledge test and a
practical cooking portion.”
The board, overseen by senior noncommissioned
officers, focused on military bearing and general culinary knowledge and a written test on the countless
particulars of nutrition. But, the most interesting and
mouth-watering portion from the standpoint of a
bystander was the practical cooking.

Soldier chefs vie for post’s best vittles
Staff Sgt. Michael Gardner, 4th Battalion, 3rd Air
Defense Artillery, a judge in the Fort Sill Chef of the
Year Competition serves competitor’s plates to VIP
samplers. Culinary specialists from across post competed for the title and were required to prepare a
meal that met multiple qualifications.
The Army Nurse Corps celebrated its 114th anniversary Feb. 2.
The presentation and cake cutting ceremony honored the men
and women who have served in
the corps throughout history.
Maj. Melody Voskuil, officer in
charge of OB-GYN at Reynolds
Army
Community
Hospital
(RACH), joined the nurse corps in
1999. Over the past 18 years, she
experienced the progressive evolution of the corps and its mission.
“I didn’t get orientation,” said
Voskuil. “I started in a 42-bed surgical floor at Landstuhl Regional
Medical Center, Germany. It was
great, kind of in-the-face training,
you definitely become independent quickly with the Army. I was a
charge nurse within about six
weeks and that was extremely
frightening.”
The Army saw a high rate of
burnout occurring in the nursing
field. Also, many commanders
sent their nurses back to the states
from deployment because they
lacked a lot of the necessary skills
needed to complete the mission.
“The Army adopted the orientation program,” said 1st Lt. Macy
Marshall, charge nurse OB-GYN.
“So that first six months, I had
someone with me at all times
learning how to give meds, injections, do nursing treatments and
rotating to some other departments in the hospital to get a taste
of other units. I wasn’t a charge
nurse until about a year and a half
after that. They really slowed it
down. New nurses in the Army are
not deployable for one year; you
need to get those skills.”
The progression of the Army
Nurse Corps throughout the years
can be seen looking back through
the corps’ history.
“You look at where we’re at
today and where we’ve gotten to,
the surgeon general of the Army is
a nurse corps officer,” said Col.
Noel Cárdenas, RACH commander. “Our regional commander,
General (Barbara) Holcomb is a
nurse corps officer. You also look
at General (Jimmie) Keenan, who
was our previous regional commander and now the deputy commander for operations. Where we
are now, at having three nurse
corps general officers, I can tell
you that 10 years ago I don’t think
anybody would have ever though
that would happen.”
The history of nurses began as

Pvt. Jacup Miers, from Yuma,
Ariz., was resilient before he ever
put on the Army uniform. He
wears the look of determination in
his eyes. He tells of his life before
the military as if he is listing the
facts, nothing more:
“My mom did heroin and she
was kind of a prostitute. She had
to make money and she did crack
and all that stuff,”said Miers.
He quickly adds that his father
was an alcoholic who kicked him
out of the house because he didn’t
want to continue caring for him.
Miers was 12 years old.
The details rattle out in short
choppy sentences from Miers’
mouth.
“I had to take care of my brother and sister at a really young age.
“I had a pretty rough life.
“I grew up in a really rough
neighborhood.
“I had to hustle to make money
for my brother and sister.”
It’s as if he shares the uncomfortable details hurriedly because
he is ready to move on to bigger
and better things.
He graduated Basic Combat
Training from B Battery, 1st
Battalion, 79th Field Artillery Jan. 30.

Thirty-nine Soldiers were
pinned with the field artillery
branch insignia as they
became the Army’s newest
cannon crewmembers, or military occupational specialty
13B, Jan. 30, in Bldg. 2437
here.
The Soldiers of C Battery,
1st Battalion, 78th Field
Artillery, Class No. 10-15
earned the right to wear the
insignia after completing the
5.5-week course as they
became proficient in one of
three howitzers: 105mm,
155mm or the self-propelled
155mm.
“They were a very hardworking class,” said Sgt. 1st
Class Alexander Kirsch,
Advanced Individual Training
platoon sergeant. who served
as the class administrator and
logistician.
The battery graduates
roughly
1,000
cannon
crewmembers per year,
Kirsch said.This class consisted of 22 National Guard
Soldiers and 17 active-duty
Soldiers.
Students usually knows
what unit they will be
assigned to in the first or second week of class, and so they
will learn the howitzer piece
of their unit, whether it be a
M119A3 105mm towed howitzer, M777A2 155mm towed
howitzer or M109A6 self-propelled howitzer, Kirsch said
In his invocation, student
Pvt. Damian Nunley said:
“Lord, I pray that when we see
an army rise against us you
make our hearts and minds as
strong as steel.”

“King of Battle,” and gave
them advice to be effective

was the speaker. He was a
career field artilleryman, and
served as the 75th Field
Artillery Brigade commander
here from 1993-95.
Arntz provided the new
cannoneers with advice.
“Stick with the training no
matter how repetitious, sometimes how boring, no matter
how cold or tired or stressed
you are. Continue with the
training because your life and
the lives of others depend on
the training,” said Arntz, who
is president of a local defense
contractor.
Field artillery works as a
team and teamwork is the
glue that makes it the“King of
Battle,”Arntz said.
“Every member must know
and do his part if ‘King’is to be
successful,”he said.

targets the forward observers
(FO) send, no matter how precise the calculations made by
the fire direction center (FDC)
— it means nothing if the cannoneers’ gunfire is not effective and efficient, he said.
Trust is a must in the profession of arms, said Arntz,
who retired in 1998, after a 26year Army career.
Cannoneers trust the FOs
and FDCs and conversely
they trust the gun crews.
“Perhaps of equal if not
more importance are the
infantrymen — the Soldiers
on the front lines who rely
upon you to deliver the devastating steel on target 24/7,”
Arntz said.
Afterward, Arntz said
today’s field artillerymen are
very professional and probably have a greater aptitude
than Soldiers in the past
because of the Army’s stiffer
entrance requirements.
“[Still] the 13 bravo basic
rudimentary skills set haven’t
changed. You still have to
know the howitzer and put it
in place,”he said.

He said it was about time
the 13B MOS opened to
women.
“Because of the technological changes in field artillery
there are all kinds of opportunities for females,”said Arntz.
“Were not shooting 200pound projectiles any more,
they’re 90 pounds and 50
pounds, so there’s certainly
room for them to do that if
they have the skills.
“And, the rockets and missiles we use nowadays, anyone can do it no matter what
gender you are, so they
(women) can be a force multiplier,”he said.
During the ceremony, Pfc.
Enrique Gonzalez was recognized as the distinguished
honor graduate, and for
achieving the high Army
Physical Fitness Test score.
Two honor graduates were
commended for demonstrating the highest proficiency on
their respective howitzers:
Pvt. Michael Deem on the
M777A2, and Pvt. Kenton
Roman on the M119A3.
And, students Pfc. Timothy
Garris and Pvt. Adrian Lopez
were promoted during the
ceremony.
The ceremony concluded
with the class reciting “The
Soldier’s Creed” along with
every Soldier present at the
ceremony joining the graduates to sing “The Army Song.”
“No one is more professional than I. I am a noncommissioned officer, a
leader of Soldiers.”
For Soldiers who join the
ranks of noncommissioned
officers (NCO), these words
are part of a creed that personifies their new role as leaders. First introduced in 1974,
and later approved for publication in 1985, the “Creed of
the
Noncommissioned
Officer” offers a guideline for
NCOs to live by.
On Jan. 15, 4th Battalion,
3rd Air Defense Artillery
hosted an NCO induction ceremony to formally recognize
and welcome newly promoted sergeants into the ranks of
their unit and the Army.
“We wanted to continue a
tradition that has long been
standing in the Army but
was a distant ceremony due
to ongoing war in the Middle
East. Now that war is not the
priority, we can get back to
the basics,” said Sgt. 1st
Class Lucas Goupil.
The sergeant first class
added induction ceremonies
build the corp and restore
the luster of the NCO ranks.
“It signifies their transformation from the led to
leader giving them the
understanding to separate
themselves from the juniors
and the understanding they
are now officially a part of
the NCO corps,”he said.
Although ceremonies like
this are nothing new to the
Army, it is an important part
of tradition to hold them and
recognize new young leaders.
“To be an NCO means
being able to make a difference in the lives of Soldiers;
being able to be that line
between the good and the
bad; the standard bearer,”
said Sgt. Savannah Tolbert,

is very important because of
the tradition. My mother
went through it, and to now
go through it myself is an

The NCO is the backbone
of the Army and are often
likened to where the rubber
meets the road. NCOs offer
Soldiers leadership, counseling and mentorship and serve
as Soldiers first line leader.
“I hope in the future, this
ceremony will accomplish

hope the ceremony does by
holding it, I hope it gives
NCOs a sense of belonging

said Goupil.
With any military organization, change is always a
constant, but since 1775 those
serving in the rank of the
NCO continue to be the
unwavering and constant
driving force in the Army.

Memorial Auditorium, he was presented the
1st Lt. Fox Leadership Award for his
resiliency.
“My grandparents were my motivation. I
would go to them after we would get into a
fight and they would say ‘Look it sucks, but
as long as you can make it through this stuff
just never quit. Just keep going,’”he said.
A social worker was able to get him into a
foster home and back into school when he
was 15 years old.
He was adopted by Heidi and Kurt Miers,
whom he calls his mother and father. As for
his biological parents, he said he doesn’t
harbor any hatred toward them.
“I have a lack of respect for what they’ve
done, but they’re still my parents. The parents I have now I just love them. They’ve
done everything they can to prepare me and
treat me like their own, and I wouldn’t trade
them for anything.”
Miers finished high school with a 3.4
grade-point average. He decided to join the
Army to continue with his goals of achieving something greater. He asked his adoptive father, a former first sergeant and drill
sergeant for advice. Miers is now on contract to go to Ranger School and Airborne
School.
“I was able to tell with the way he took
care of his battle buddies, both his male and
female battle buddies that he was going to

During the graduation ceremony 1st Sgt.

Weaver’s parents Daryl

Rebstock, D Battery, 1st

sergeant responsible for $1
million in assets. She said
her biggest inspiration to
compete is her father,
Richard Rebstock, an Army
veteran who lives in
Missouri.
“Her really encourages
me to do great things in the
Army,” said Rebstock, age
24.
She said she has new
found responsibilities as the
Soldier of the Year.
“I feel like a role model for
all Soldiers, and I feel like
I’m held not just to the stan-
dard, but to exceed the standard in everything I do ...
and to be the subject matter
expert that Soldiers can
come to me,” she said.“I feel
like a leader.”
Rebstock will now prepare for the TRADOC SoY
competition this summer.
Hultman will transfer
from Fort Sill this year and

specialty. She said being
DSoY has opened up opportunities for her.
“It has allowed be to grow

Each participant received
a mystery basket of ingredients and a time limit to create culinary magic. These
meals were not standard
military fare made to be
served on a buffet line, but
rather four-star quality cuisine judged on flavor, creativity, plate appearance
and overall presentation
similar to the chef competitions on popular TV shows.
“The cooking is the hardest part for sure,” said Fort

Company.“You have to meet
a strict deadline with no
time to plan, but your meal
still has to be properly
cooked and look perfect on
the plate.”
This seemingly impossible task would force most to
make macaroni and cheese,
but Briscoe and his competitors turned it into an opportunity for golden luxury.
Briscoe crafted a garlic buttered shrimp and avocado
appetizer that was followed
by roasted chicken, asparagus and fried potatoes,
recipes he made up on the
spot according to the ingredients on hand.
“To me it’s meant to be fun
and
challenging,” said
Briscoe with a beaming
smile. “You compete against
the Soldiers you work with
everyday, so it not only
develops personal knowledge and skills, but builds
morale, too. I don’t even
know what I win, it’s not
about prizes to me, I just
want to be better today than
I was yesterday.”
Briscoe was not the only

but then when they come
back in to the hospital and
they are at their best, it’s just
an amazing feeling knowing
you helped them get there.”
Patient care is only one
rewarding aspect for Army
nurses.The other opportunities for learning, travel,
experiencing the world and
its people are something a
civilian nurse might not get,
Barton said.
“You get to meet a lot of
interesting people, do a lot
of interesting things and
travel,” said Barton.“You get
to kind of experience both
sides, the nursing realm and
then the field aspects of it
too.The environments you’re
put in, the stress levels you’re
put under, the mascals (mass
casualty exercises) that you
experience, you wouldn’t get
that being a civilian nurse.”
Over the last 100 years, the
Army Nurse Corps has
evolved into an integral part
of the Army. From their
beginning as “hired help” to
holding some of the highest
ranking positions in the
Army, nurses support every
aspect of not only the medical field, but of the Army.
“Without nurses, who truly
is going to provide that
health care for our patients?”
said Cárdenas. “The physicians provide their part,
we’ve got medics, but it’s the
nurses who provide that special treatment, that compassionate care. Not to say our
medics don’t do that, not to
say our physicians don’t do
that, but there’s just something about a nurse.”

hired help, said Cárdenas,
but it became a calling.
Nurses filled a need in the
Army and provided a level
of care that brought compassion to the field of medicine.
“Look at where you started from, go back to the war
of independence and realizing we needed nurses then,”
said Cárdenas.“That’s when
that call of action and call to
the nurses began.They were
in our country and amongst
our communities back
then.”
At RACH nurses take on
many different roles and
support every aspect of
health care. They work tirelessly to provide each
patient an individual level of
care and fill many roles
within their designated
units.
“I still work the floor,
which I’ve been doing the
past two days,” said Capt.
Heather Barton, clinical
nurse officer in charge of 2West at RACH. “When we
have a high patient census
then I’ll go out and work just
as a normal nurse, but on
any other day I’m doing the
managerial aspect of it.
Planning meetings, information meetings, those are
what I go to. Then I bring it
back to the rest of the staff.”
As an inpatient unit, 2West provides care to a variety of patients who have to
spend an extended period at
RACH. Barton has been a
nurse over seven years, specializing in the medical surgical field. She makes sure
that the floor is running
smoothly, typically working
a 12-hour shift at the hospital as well as being on-call
24 hours a day.
“I go to a lot of meetings
to help support the clinical
function. I fight for whatever we may need,” said
Voskuil. “I support the HR
function, the supply function, the pay roll, and whatever this floor might need

The Rosette Nebula, also known as Caldwell 49 or NGC 2237, is about 5,200 light-years away from Earth. To gain a distance perspective, one light year equals 5.9 trillion miles or 5.9
times 10 to the 12th power. This flower-shaped nebula is a huge star-forming cloud of dust and gas in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Captain’s hobby a star search
By Marie Berberea
Capt. Joe Spracklen, Air
Defense Artillery Captains
Career Course student, sits
in the dark waiting.
He has spent countless
hours researching and
preparing. He sets up his
many pieces of equipment
as he tracks the movement
of his long-range target.
The stars.
Spracklen leaves the pollution of the city lights regularly to take aim at his
hobby of astrophotography.
“My parents got me a telescope when I was really little. Kind of been hooked
ever since,”said Spracklen.
Recruited to play hockey
at West Point, he said that’s
when he began looking into
the art form.
“I spent a ton of time just
researching and just figuring
out how to do everything and
figuring out what I was going
to buy, so I was really prepared
once I finally graduated.”
Five years in, Spracklen is
Photo by Marie Berberea still honing his skills.
Capt. Joe Spracklen stands by the equipment he uses for
“It’s one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever done,
astrophotography. On the right is a telescope he uses to
spot objects in outer space, and the telescope on the left is especially because I didn’t
have anyone to teach me. I

took all this stuff out probably
15 or 20 times, drove an hour
away, set all this stuff up and
then just completely failed.”
The Triangulum Galaxy, also known as M33, is about 3 million light-years away from Earth.
He has since figured it out
and said a great spot for
astrophotography locally is
at Lake Lawtonka’s campgrounds.
He sets up his equipment
about an hour before sunset
then waits until the North
Star is visble before he
focuses on a subject.
“You have to find everything yourself, so you learn a
lot about where things are
just by hunting through the
constellations.”
His telescope and camera
are fixed to a mount on top
of a tripod. The mount is
motorized and controlled by
a program on his laptop that
tracks the exact rate of the
earth’s movement.
As an extra measure he
uses a second telescope,
called a guide scope, that
detects if the mount isn’t
tracking perfectly so he can
adjust accordingly.
“The process to take these
pictures is extremely complicated; there are a hundred
variables that need to be
exactly right for me to get a
good image.
“Being able to create a
detailed and systematic
process has helped me get
consistent
results
and
allowed me to quickly diagnose problems that arise
during an imaging session.”
With each click the shutter
of the camera is open for 10
minutes to gather as much
light in the photo as possible.
After 20 viable frames, he
layers them in editing software on his computer.
He also takes several negative frames with the lens
cap on that are later used to
reduce noise in the composite photo.
“I have to do some pretty
extensive
work
in
Photoshop to bring out
details ... probaby six to
eight hours per picture.”
Although it seems a hobby
like this can only be taken
on by someone inherently
patient, Spracklen said his
time on the ice has helped
him focus in this medium.
“I attribute a lot of my personality and character to
playing hockey and I think
that the dedication it took to
reach a high level of competition in the hockey world
has served me well in all
areas of my life, including
my hobbies.”
Spracklen said he is often
teased about astrophotography until he shares the
results of his labors. He said
he loves to capture images
that most think are only possible using the Hubble
Space Telescope.
“What’s anyone get out of
any hobby? It just fascinates
me. It’s always fascinated me.”
The California Nebula drifts through the Orion Arm of the
Milky Way Galaxy.
Andromeda is the nearest major galaxy to the Milky
Way Galaxy. It contains approximately 1 trillion stars.
The Soul Nebula houses several open clusters of stars, a large radio source known as W5,
and huge evacuated bubbles formed by the winds of young massive stars. Located about
6,500 light years away, the Soul Nebula spans about 100 light years and is usually imaged
next to its celestial neighbor the Heart Nebula (IC 1805).
The Heart Nebula is located about 7,500 light-years away in the
Perseus spiral arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Using diurnal motion, Capt. Joe Spracklen captures “star trails” with his camera. The
effect is created when the camera’s shutter is open for long periods of time and the camera is stationary allowing it to capture the movement of the Earth’s rotation in relation to
the stars.

Contest reveals Army’s finest photos
By Tim Hipps
Installation Management
Command
SAN ANTONIO — Five hundred
thirty-nine contestants, either
active-duty personnel or other
MWR patrons, entered 2,529 photos in seven categories in the 2014
Army
Digital
Photography
Contest.
The entries were judged at the
Installation
Management
Command headquarters on Joint
Base San Antonio-Fort Sam
Houston by professional photographer Carlos Berrios, who owns a
photography business; Rudy Lopez,
a photographer who formerly
served as the arts and crafts program manager at Lackland Air
Force Base; Amy Kosby, a videographer for Army Entertainment; and
Staff Sgt. David Marshall, an Army
Entertainment photographer and
videographer.
Berrios said he was pleasantly
surprised by the level of talent in the
contest.
“I think the quality was a lot better than I expected for amateurs,”
Berrios said. “They were very
good.”
The 2014 winning entries can be
viewed on the arts and crafts page
on www.ArmyMWR.com.
The first interservice photo contest began in 1948 and evolved into
the Army Digital Photography
Contest.
“Confined Space Rescue” by Sgt. 1st Class Garrick Morgenweck was
taken at Fort Rucker, Ala., Oct. 29.
In addition to contests for digital
photography and arts and crafts,
Army MWR facilities offer classes
or personal instruction in custom
framing, digital art, ceramics, drawing, painting, woodworking, pottery,
quilting and stained glass.
“It’s an outlet for Soldiers, family
members and civilians,” said Sandy
Nordenhold, Army MWR arts and
crafts program manager. “It’s an
avenue for them to express their
creative talents by taking photos
and maybe spending time with the
digital darkroom to be able to
morph their photographs into how
they see it should be.
“Anything to do with arts and
crafts is a good outlet to make a
Soldier resilient. It’s something to
keep their mind on, just to help
them mentally.”
The
2015
Army
Digital
Photography Contest will run from
Oct. 15 through Nov. 30. MWRauthorized patrons who enjoy arts
and crafts might also be interested

FTC, legal offer info to aid used car buys
By Capt. Simone Jack
Legal assistance chief
Buying a used car can be
stressful, but the Federal
Trade Commission (FTC)
offers some help to educate
customers.
Used car dealerships that
sell more than six cars a
year must post a buyer’s
guide on cars they sell, in
keeping with the FTC’s Used
Car Rule.
The guide gives customers
important warranty details
and other information to
help
them
make
an
informed buying decision.
The guide must tell potential customers:
n whether the vehicle is
being sold “as is” or with a
warranty;
n what percentage of the
repair costs a dealer will pay
under the warranty;
n
that spoken promises
are difficult to enforce;
n to get all promises in
writing;
n
to keep the buyers’
guide (original or copy) for
reference after the sale;
n
the major mechanical
and electrical systems on the
car, including some of the
n
major problems you
should look out for; and
n to ask to have the car
inspected by an independent mechanic before buying
it.
The back of the guide
must list the name and
address of the dealership,
and include the name and
phone number of the contact
at the dealership in case you
have problems or complaints after the sale.
The rule protects consumers from potential postpurchase problems in sever-

Buying a used car can be an stressful enough. Potential
buyers should educate themselves before visiting a dealership to help ensure they get a fair deal.
al ways. First, the guide may to provide consumers with
prompt consumers to have a warranty information so
car inspected before pur- that if consumers so wish,
they can shop for a car with
chase.
Second, it requires dealers a warranty that protects
them in the event the car has
mechanical problems.
Third, the guide warns
consumers not to rely on
verbal promises and to
obtain assurances about a
car from the dealer in writing. If you buy a used car
and the sales discussion is
conducted in Spanish, you
are entitled to see and keep
a Spanish-language version
of the guide. Oklahoma law
requires the guide is filled
out in accordance with federal and state standards,
and a copy be given to the
buyer at the completion of
the sale.
Dealers who don’t display
the guide as required by law
are subject to lawsuits.
In the case of FTC v.
Abernathy Motor Company:
the FTC filed suit in March
2014 against Abernathy and
its owners for failing to
properly prepare and prominently and conspicuously
display a buyers’ guide on
many of its used vehicles for
sale. The FTC found the
dealership failed to do this
with over 140 used vehicles
at several locations. For each
vehicle without the requisite
guide, a judge may fine the
dealership $16,000 for each
violation of the FTC’s Used
Car Rule.The case has yet to
be decided.
If you purchased a car and
the dealership did not display the guide, the FTC and

Herd management improves Sill hunting
Although deer and elk
season is over, we are
already working on next
year’s regulation.
Why the rush?
Folks had shown concerns
about the archery deer season being shut down so
early this year, and in general all seasons seeming to be
closed earlier each year.
There were also concerns
about the overcrowding of
areas during the elk archery
season and the bull quotas
being hit so early in the season. Along with these there
was a push to make sure
active-duty Soldiers were
given good hunting opportunities.
We briefed the Fort Sill
Fish and Wildlife Council at
the monthly meeting about
our management plans for
the next year. Hopefully, this
should help some of those
concerns.
After the briefing, the
council members and guests
spent a lot of time questioning and discussing these
plans and suggesting other
possibilities. When all was
said and done 2.5 hours
later, we had a direction to
head.
First, this week let’s look
at the changes over the
years that might show what
is causing the shortened
deer seasons.
It wasn’t lack of deer.
We’ve been increasing the
deer population over the
past few years to make more
deer accessible to more
hunters.
Let’s look at the deer seen
per mile on the August spotlight counts for the past
three years.
These are used to show
trends in populations not
give deer per acre. Consider
East Range as an example. It
increased from 3.92 in 2012
to 4.54 in 2013 and increased
again to 5.52 in 2014. West
and Quanah ranges look
very similar.
Much of these increases
were due to increase predator control (hogs and coyotes) allowing better fawn
survival. After getting better
survival, it is important to
keep the harvest low enough
Wild Side
By GLEN WAMPLER
during the first couple years
of herd growth to allow
those fawns to reach maturity and start reproducing.
With that in mind, we have
only been slowly increasing
the deer harvest.
If good conditions continue this year, we will increase
the harvest even more in the
coming year to help hold the
population from growing too
large.
Now that the population is
higher it is much easier for
hunters to find deer.
However, we have to take
in the effects of the drought.
The drought that we are in
has dried up many of our
ponds and other water
sources on post as well as
reducing the deer’s food
supply in some areas.
From a hunting perspec-
tive this isn’t all bad news as
this concentrates deer into
smaller areas and makes it
easier for deer hunters.
Over the years, most types
hunting weapons have gotten better and more efficient.
Although crossbows are
only allowed with special
exception on Fort Sill, there
are more of them used today,
and they are more accurate.
Compound bows shoot
faster, flatter and more accurate
every
year.
Muzzleloaders are accurate
at distances three times further than the ones used 20
years ago.
Shotguns have increased
long range accuracy and
killing power several times
over. Rifles and their scopes
make accurate shots past
what use to be considered
impossible. All of this makes
it possible for higher success
without near as much effort.
Gadgetry such as different
types of stands, trail cameras, scent block clothing
and cover scents are just a
few of the new innovations
for making hunting easier.
As hunting becomes easier
folks are able to take deer
quicker and quotas are met
sooner.
Increased number of deer,
concentrated deer, more efficient weaponry and new
gadgets changed how most
of us hunt.
They give hunters using
them a better chance of taking deer quicker. They are
why archery hunters were
able to harvest more deer
this year than any other year
on record, and do it with less
trips per kill than in the past.
Twenty-five years ago it
took an average of about 100
trips to the field for every
deer taken with archery
equipment.
This year it took about 50.
They are also why we start-
ed restricting muzzleloader
weapons during the first
seven days a few years ago.
They are why we will be
making more changes next
year to make it a little harder to take a deer.This should
increase the length of time
taken to reach the established quotas. We are doing
this to increase the amount
of recreational time available.
In the next few weeks we
will discuss the changes
planned.
If you want to hunt, fish,
pick berries, hike or do any
other recreation on the
range you must have a pass
from Sportsmen Services
and before you get a pass
you must be able to show
proof of taking the Fort Sill
Sportsmen Safety Class.
The next chance for anyone who needs to take the
class is Feb. 9 at 6 p.m. in the
Natural Resources classroom in Building 1465.
Another class is Feb. 21 at 9
a.m.

ABIQUIU LAKE, N.M., — A flock of 21
volunteers along with park rangers at
Abiquiu Lake gathered for the park’s annual eagle watch and count Jan. 3.
The event began with an informative presentation on eagles by Katherine Eagleson
of the New Mexico Wildlife Center.
Volunteers then moved outside where
they met Maxwell, and his handler Scott
Bol. Maxwell is a nonreleasable bald eagle
used by the wildlife center to educate the
public about the majestic birds.
The official count started at 10 a.m. Two
boats launched onto the lake and two strategic, fixed viewing posts were manned. Park
rangers said eagle sightings began coming
in right away and continued throughout the
count. Between the two boats moving in
opposite directions around the shoreline
and the powerful spotting scopes being used
at the fixed viewing posts, the radios buzzed
with reports of eagle sightings.
“With all the activity it can be difficult to
maintain an accurate count and avoid double counting, but with good communication
and use of a grid and sector map of the area
an accurate count can be made,” said Austin
Kuhlman, Abiquiu park ranger.
The official count at the end of the event
was 18 bald eagles — 12 adults and six
immature. This was an increase from previous years’ counts: 13 counted last year; 12 in
2013 and 17 spotted in 2012.
“The eagle watch has become a great way
to start the year. The event encompasses so
much of what we work so hard for throughout the year. It is a chance to interact with
and involve members of the community and
help foster a spirit of ownership and community participation,” said Kuhlman. “This
event serves as a good reminder of the
importance of partnerships and what we
can achieve together. But perhaps most
important is it reminds us of the responsibility we have to maintain and care for the
environment we are entrusted with, not just
for our needs but the needs of these amazing animals as well.”
