Production Manager Mike Reid [email protected] www.csmng.com 3 Class bridges communication gap Thea Skinner CSMNG PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — A class opened at Peterson Air Force Base Airman and Family Readiness Center last month that seeks to help servicemembers and their families become better communicators. It focuses on workplace communication, active listening and tips about getting along with other people. Communication can be a vital characteristic in workplace effectiveness. When a message is interpreted and the sender is approached about the message, the interpretation may not be in sync with the intended meaning. This conundrum is what Jan Kienast, 21st Force Support Squadron Airman and Family Readiness Flight community readiness specialist, experiences in communication processes on base. “It seems there is a disconnect between what is said and what is received,” Kienast said. The class aims to break that barrier. If one person in the workplace feels disrespected and does not notify the other person, it may lead to internalizing emotions, she said. The cultural climate for communication is also a factor. “In the military environment there are a lot of things going on and a lot of messages are misinterpreted,” she said. “It is always better to say I do not understand what you mean. It’s OK to ask people questions — some people elaborate and others don’t. Everyone likes to be taught a certain way. “The reason that people are put in leadership positions is to mentor the people under them,” Kienast said. “If people are not getting the answers they need and not getting mentored, they do a task wrong.” Often times when topics are not clarified, people will shut down becoming uncommunicative, she said. Solutions to such issues involve taking people (U.S. Air Force photo by Thea Skinner) Martina Porter, MSW Family Advocacy outreach manager, speaks with servicemembers and their families at the new communication class at the Peterson Air Force Base Airman and Family Readiness Center, June 23. away from the normal environment and holding a discussion, along with addressing topics as a group. “You can set goals as a group. When you have a unit meeting, have goals on the agenda. It is all in presentation,” said Martina Porter, 21st Medical Operations Squadron family advocacy outreach manager. “We want to be heard and respected. When we feel we are not being respected we come across as having an attitude.” Staff Sgt. Trinity Perez, 21st Force Support Squadron Aragon Dinning Facility night shift supervisor, said she briefs her team at the beginning and end of the shift. “What if the other person is not receiving you the way you need and the other person seems to be on the defensive,” Perez said. Facilitators encourage establishing conversation key points: objective, hopes for accomplishments and purpose. “You have to think about the conversation you are about to have. If you are not mentally and emotionally there, then say when a good time is,” Porter said. “Always process what you want to say. It is up to them to be able to hear what you have to say.” The next class is scheduled for August and is open to active duty, civil service and contractor personnel. Family advocacy representatives are also available to talk with units to improve communication. For more information, contact the center at 556-6141.

With the current cycle of deployments, it’s likely that many women will find themselves in just that situation. But, Fort Carson’s Army Community Service offers a program that can help. The New Parent Support Program’s Moms’ Support Net offers mothers a break from their stressful schedules and introduces them to other mothers who may be in the same boat, said Afrah Caraballo, New Parent Support Program home visitor and facilitator of the Moms’ Support Net. “The idea behind it is to give moms a place to connect with other moms, have adult conversation and have a place that’s just theirs. They can talk about what they’re going through as a military mom, as a military spouse, as a new mom – just all of the changes that come with the status of now being a mom,” said Caraballo, a licensed clinical social worker. “We wanted something that was just for moms to come and bounce ideas off of each other, support each other and just have that down time. They know for at least an hour and a half a week, they have something that is just theirs.” The group meets every Monday from 10-11:30 a.m. The first and third Mondays take place at ACS while the second and third Mondays sessions are spent walking at Ironhorse Park. Free child care is provided with advance registration at ACS. The group is open to any mother with a military identification card, Caraballo said. The support group can be especially helpful to new mothers, whose lives change dramatically with the birth of their first child, Caraballo said. “Something happens once you get pregnant. You stop being you. You’re no longer Jennifer; you’re no longer Sharon – you’re the new mommy,” she said. “This is to help moms reconnect with themselves and kind of refuel, because they are constantly giving. So, the idea of this program is to have a place that, for an hour and a half a week, puts back and refuels you.” Many young mothers have moved away – hundreds of miles away – from their parents and siblings for the first time and their husbands might be deployed or about to deploy. The Moms’ Support Net and New Parent Support home visits can provide a substitute for that family support, Caraballo said. “It’s a voluntary program, and it’s just support,” she said. “It’s designed, actually, for military Families who are displaced from their natural support systems. That’s why KENNELS CAMP BOW WOW is Colorado Spring’s & Monument’s pre- mier doggy daycare and overnight boarding facility.

A lot of times … you’re in a new town – no family, no friends, no relatives. If they do come (to visit), it’s a short-time thing. So, the New Parent Support home visitor is actually a person that’s designed to kind of help patch in those holes. It’s not that they are bad moms and need a home visitor; it’s not a scrutiny position. It’s not our job to go in there and say, ‘You need to do this, and you need to do that.’ It’s support and education and just someone to talk to, someone who’s kind of like a big sister or mom, but just fi lling in where that natural support would have been.” Referrals for the home visits can come from oes anybody really care?

"It is written upon our hearts to do so. I volunteer for CASA in an effort to fulfi ll that duty." Major Matthew Mayfield is an 18 year veteran of the U.S. Army. He recently moved to Colorado Springs and wanted to get involved in the local community. He heard about the SEPT program through friends, and was inspired when he learned that there was a specific need for more male volunteers. The Supervised Exchange and Parenting Time (SEPT) Program, administered by Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of the Pikes Peak Region, is a program designed to provide a safe environment and to protect children from witnessing conflict during the transfer from one parent to another. Families are usually ordered into the program by the court for reasons such as unresolved conflict between parents, safety concerns due to a history of family violence, or a history of drug or alcohol abuse. Major Mayfield is one of CASA’s 40+ active SEPT volunteers who are an amazing “I believe we all hold a duty to protect, nurture, and mentor children.” — Major Matthew Mayfield Major Mayfield says his volunteer work makes a difference to children both directly and indirectly. "I interact and talk with them, trying to reinforce thoughts and behaviors that are good for them — particularly from a male perspective — as they are often lacking a positive male figure in their lives. Indirectly, I think having a strong male presence is conducive to the feeling of a safe, secure environment both for the visiting children and the often anxious exchanging parent. This makes the visits more relaxed and more worthwhile." force for good, providing safety and peace of mind to children and families, but they are stretched thin; additional volunteers are badly needed. The SEPT Program provides an opportunity for concerned citizens to help kids in need without the commitment of a large amount of time. For more information about becoming a SEPT volunteer, or to learn about all of CASA's programs and volunteer opportunities, please visit www.casappr.org or call 447-9898, x1008.

It’s her second-grader’s school calling to report that her child has been fighting with classmates. Her infant is screaming. Her toddler’s breakfast just hit the kitchen wall, and she is going to be late for work again. For many military families, this scenario isn’t hard to imagine, it’s reality. Everyday stresses and pressure of daily life are often compounded for military members and their families and can sometimes become too much to bear, even to the point where one may think a solution is impossible. At Schriever Air Force Base, Airmen and their family members do have a place where they can find solutions. The Military Family Life Consultant Program is offered here at the Airman and Family Readiness Center. “Families dealing with child behavioral problems have become one of the most common issues MFLCP counselors address,” said Community Readiness Consultant Nancy Seckman. “Another Hi!

They are typically stationed in one location for 45-day intervals. This procedural feature accents the anonymity of counseling. Clients don’t have to worry about running into a counselor at the Base Exchange, or on the street. And from the DoD’s perspective, it provides a ready cadre of professionals who can surge into a location at any given time. “Confidentiality is an important aspect of the program,” Seckman said. “It’s most popular, which is based on feedback from clients, is that counselors don’t keep any records. Clients can meet counselors either in an office at the family readiness center or any public place. The confidential nature of the program allows people to receive support without fear of being reported to the chain of command.” That doesn’t mean MFLCP counselors aren’t communicating with base leaders. Counselors regularly meet with commanders to determine what the needs are for units, then base their presentations on those needs. Counselors also provide presentations about MFLCP through formal and informal meetings and can present on multiple topics, run educational groups and attend meetings and events on base.

The program stresses short-term support and education, and is solution based, though counselors can refer clients to long-term counseling or therapy. In operation since 2004, MFLCP was launched as a pilot program after the Department of Defense lengthened Army deployments to Iraq from 12 to 15 months. Though it was originally focused on Army members and their families, the program became so successful that it was expanded to include the Air Force during 2007, and now covers all branches of the military. “There is now a MFLCP on every continental U.S. Air Force Base,” Seckman said. “And just about every Air Force base around the world includes this program.” One unique feature of the program Ask about our Military Discount Complete Music Center School Rentals for Band & Orchestra Folk Instruments Sheet Music Accessories ASK ABOUT OUR RENT-TO-OWN PLANS MILITARY DISCOUNTS Serving You At 3 Locations: 113 E.

The Military Family By Anita Tedaldi Gray hair is taking over my dark brown head at a rapid pace. It’s an invasion that I fight with all my might, but one that is met with large obstacles, such as the expense of getting to a salon every six weeks to keep the enemy at bay. I know, I could color my hair at home, but my inability to complete tasks that require precision, rule out the dieyour-hair at home option. I was prepared to go grey in my thirties because all of my relatives on my mother’s side of the family went gray in their twenties, but I believe that in my case genetics is only partially the culprit, and that gray hair has drastically increased since my husband’s latest deployment, and since becoming a mom of five. I guess I should be grateful I actually have some hair left. While I’ve read that there is no scientific correlation between gray hair and stress, I’m convinced that a few days ago a large chunk of gray hair grew on the right side of my head, when I momentarily couldn’t see my three year old daughter in the pool, and was gripped by sheer terror that she had drowned. This past week, while still on our pseudo-vacation, we went to the base pool a few times. There were two very friendly lifeguards who helped me out with the kids on more than one occasion. I felt we were safe and had taken all precautions because my three oldest daughters are very good swimmers and I had the perfect gear for my two youngest ones, pink life-vests and matching duck floaties. But one afternoon, while in the water with all of my kids, I had to momentarily leave the pool to change my one year old. I asked the life guard to keep an eye on my three year old daughter Livia, who was glued to the side of the pool with her floating gear and refused to move even an inch. It only took a couple of minutes to change the baby, but when I turned around Livia wasn’t there. I quickly scanned the pool but didn’t see her, so I looked for the life guard who was also gone. Just as I was about to panic, I saw a chubby pink shape and a long slender figure with a red bathing suit near the candy machine. Livia and the lifeguard had walked to get a snack. The life guard told me that Livia had informed her that while I was changing the baby she could become her best friend if she got her a snack. The girl thought it was funny and decided to get my daughter a small treat. I was so relieved nothing happened, but my hair carried the effects of this stress in the form of the new patch of gray. Perhaps my theory that deployments and mom stress cause gray hair has some validity. My big test will be the Chicago trip. If I get back with a full head of white hair I’ll contact a medical journal to enroll in a study, or maybe I’ll just die my hair platinum blonde. Moms From page 4 It often takes several visits before a family learns to trust Caraballo and open up to her, she said. “Being a home visitor, it can take three or four visits before you are really trusted. If you say anything even resembling advice, they think you are judging them,” Caraballo said. “There is a lot of education that goes into that, a lot of support around the deployment cycle and educating the families about what looks normal, what is normal, what could be expected. Mostly it’s about developmental type stuff for the children: this is normal if he’s walking at this stage and if he’s eating at this stage, don’t get too married to that stage, because it’s going to change.” Many of the mothers who attend the Moms Support Group learned about it from the home visits, she said. The support group is an open forum facilitated by Caraballo for the mothers to discuss anything, but most on their minds is deployments, she said. “They talk a lot about the cycle of deployment, the stress of being a mom and how it’s hard to connect with the babies when they are kind of preoccupied,” Caraballo said. “So, we talk about different ways to react, and they bounce ideas off of each other. Deployments are the big thing, and what’s interesting is … different moms are at different stages in the deployment cycle. They’re able to share: ‘Well, I haven’t experienced that,’ or, “I’ve been through that.’ So it ends up being quite an amazing thing to listen to and to come away with skills.

A day at Turkey Creek Ranch allows families to have fun and relax together, and a few gallons of gas will get you there. Turkey Creek Ranch is one of Fort Carson’s treasures and can be used by servicemembers from other military installations as well as Department of Defense identification card holders. The picturesque ranch is about nine miles south of Fort Carson’s Gate 1, off Highway 115. Just a few miles from bustling traffic, the scenery soon is more rural, with scattered ranches and rolling hills. A brown sign reads “Turkey Creek Recreation Area.” Turn left and cross the cattle guard. A gravel road lined by a white fence on both sides leads to the barn area. Horses graze in the pasture; it’s an idyllic setting. Nearby are picnic tables, playgrounds, horses and a mercantile store which serves as the ranch’s office. Open Wednesdays through Sundays, 8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m., Turkey Creek Ranch is a nice place to have a picnic, take a trail ride on horseback, or put the youngsters in a saddle for a pony ride. Bring a picnic lunch to eat under a shade tree. Take a walk, watch children play at the Western town playground. Observe the horses and just relax. Activities are available at Turkey Creek Ranch. A horse is saddled and waiting for young riders between 11 a.m.-3 p.m., Wednesday-Sunday. For $4, children ages 2-9, and under 90 pounds, can sit in the saddle while an adult leads the horse around the ranch. Pay the fee at the mercantile and choose a time. Photo by Nel Lampe Families can take a pony ride or picnic in the shade at Turkey Creek Ranch. Pony rides may be arranged for special events and unit gatherings. Sign up for a trail horseback ride, available Wednesdays-Sundays at 9 and 10:30 a.m., noon, 2 and 3:30 p.m. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. A tral ride is $20 for military, $28 for civilians. Birthday parties can be held at Turkey Creek Ranch. The party can include pony rides. How about a mini vacation overnight at Turkey Creek Ranch? Camping sites are available for tents at $5 per night. The recreation vehicle sites are $10. Reservations are recommended. All camp sites are “primitive,” without electricity and water. Toilet facilities are nearby. Grills or fire pits are at the site and there are no fire restrictions at the present time. Campers should bring their own equipment, including cooking equipment. Turkey Creek is ideal for unit picnics or organization days, with several group picnic areas. Several picnic areas have covered pavilions equipment. Turkey Creek Ranch’s history dates to 1874. There were several owners before the ranch was acquired by the Army in the mid 1960s. It’s now part of the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation. To reach Turkey Creek Ranch, take Highway 115 south of Fort Carson’s Gate 1 for about 10 miles. Take a left at the brown sign for “Turkey Creek Ranch.” For information or reservations, call 5263905.
