Purple Camp is August 3-8 at Lone Tree near Ruidoso. For more 

information on the camps, call 569-7732.

for your support and allowing us to support you!

outside the basic workweek.

Steak Night at the Officers’ Club occurs the every Thursday of every month. 

This event has been ongoing for quite some time and draws a nice crowd. The 

night is filled with music, laughter, and quiet tables nestled together filled with 

people. If you were ever a meat and potatoes kind of a person, this is the night 

for you as there are plenty of different kinds of steaks, a loaded baked potato, 

unlimited salad bar, dessert items and even a glass of wine if you would like one. 

The tables are generally set for two or four people, but standing out in the back 

of the room is a large round table with a beautiful linens reserved for a group. 

Steak Night offers the kind of atmosphere for friends and family to get together 

in a wonderful location for a club to meet and enjoy dinner together. The table 

in the back of the room belongs to the Cigar Smokers Club. It is not an official 

club, but one formed out of things in common. I met this group to find out 

what draws them to this location. I sat down to talk to the leader of the club, 

a wonderful man who loves the building that we are sitting in, the comfortable 

atmosphere, the food and - of course - the men sitting around the table with 

him. 

The people at the table are talking and eating, sharing old war stories and 

relaxing while enjoying their dinner together. As the evening comes to a close, 

the leader of the table invites me outside to sit with them. The Officers’ Club 

has opened up their patio to them so that they can mingle together outside and 

O’Club 

The O’Club: 

A Place for Friends 

of course enjoy a cigar after dinner. The men explain to me that the group is 

neither about smoking nor about eating dinner. It is about enjoying something 

such as the Officers’ Club, a legacy that is slowly dying away. The clubs are going 

away but the camaraderie of being with individuals who you can relate to is still 

there. They share stories, remember the old times, talk about being injured 

in war, about being deployed, about funny stories and silly stories, and they all 

decompress together. 

One gentleman told me that after a very intense battle while he was deployed, 

his unit came together to unwind and they all smoked a cigar and even Soldiers 

that didn’t smoke came along just to be a part of something. There is no rank 

in this group. They are all Soldiers, have a story to share, and just need a place 

to come to feel relaxed and be able to gather together. Throughout most of 

the night you will often hear “remember the times” as they talk about how the 

military, clubs and soldiers are changing. As changes occur with the Officers’ 

Club, the military and events, remember that we still provide a great event filled 

with food, familiar faces, a comfortable atmosphere, and possibly even a spot 

for your club to meet. The Cigar Smokers Club will continue to meet and use 

the facilities that Fort Bliss has to offer, and will always come out for meat and 

potatoes! You can remember the times, too, by coming out for Steak Night the 

every Thursday night of every month. 

2009 Murder Mystery: “Murder on the Trail” 

Thirty members of the Waiting Families Support Program, an initiative of Army Community Service, spent the night of April 17 as suspects 

in a western “whodunit.” 

The families were the recipients of 30 tickets to “Murder on the Trail,” the final Murder Mystery Dinner at the Fort Bliss 

Officers’ Club. 

“We donated the tickets because we always try to help the community,” said Tabitha Bohn, the O’Club’s Business 

Manager. 

“It was a wonderful event and all the families were so appreciative of the opportunity to join in on the fun at no cost to 

them,” said Cher Poehlein, the Relocation Readiness Manager at ACS. “I was there, too, and it was one of the coolest 

things I’ve ever seen.” 

“The reaction from the crowd was very positive,” Bohn said. “They all enjoyed the programming, as it was the last Murder 

Mystery Dinner at the O’Club.” 

In addition to participation in events like the Murder Mystery Dinner, membership in the Waiting Families Support Program 

has other aspects that benefit Waiting Families, including dinner, bowling activities and more. A Waiting Family is defined as 

anybody who’s geographically separated from their service member for 30 days or longer due to deployment, TDY or other 

circumstances. 

Fort Bliss Calendar page 

“As long as the family is geographically separated from their Soldier, they qualify,” Poehlein said. 

For more information about the Waiting Families Support Program or to register as a Waiting Family, call Cher Poehlein at 

568-1132. The next Murder Mystery will be held at its new location, The Centennial. 

Unattended Packages 

Pay special attention to unattended packages or 

backpacks whenever you are at a special event. Inform 

authorities of these items so that they can investigate. 

These items have been used to conceal explosives in the 

past.

library 

Summer is almost here, and this year, in addition to our long-time 

summer reading program for children, the Mickelsen Community Library 

is proud to announce a new summer reading program for teens between 

the ages of 13 and 19. 

The theme for the teen program is “Express Yourself @ Your Library.” 

Everyone knows that teens love to express themselves in any number 

of ways; at the library they can discover just how many ways there are 

to express themselves. Whether it’s through reading about music, art, 

sports, or poetry, we can help them find out just how great freedom of 

expression can be. Registration for the program begins Saturday, May 

16. Reading will start Tuesday, June 16 and will end on Saturday, July 11. 

The top three winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on 

Saturday, July 18 at 2 p.m. To keep teens reading throughout the month, 

each reader will be given one point for every 50 pages read, and he or 

she will receive a prize for every four points. In order to get recognition 

for those 50 pages, however, the teens will be required to write a short, 

one- or two-sentence summary about what they have read. The teens 

with the most points at the end of the program will be the winners. We 

will be giving prizes to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place readers which will be 

a $50 gift card to Barnes & Noble for 1st place, a $35 gift card for 2nd, 

and a $25 gift card for 3rd place. Join us for this pilot program at your 

Post library and discover how much fun you can have expressing yourself 

@ your library. 

In addition to our new teen program, we will, of course, conduct 

our long-standing summer reading program for children between 

the ages of 2 and 12. Have your kids become one of the Mickelsen 

Community Library’s “Most Wanted” when you sign them up for our 

“Wanted: Readers” summer reading program. Getting caught reading 

will get your child’s picture up on our wall among other “Wanted” 

readers. Registration begins Saturday, May 16, and continues through 

Classes taught within the Fort Bliss Army Volunteer Corps include: 

•

Saturday, July 18. Reading for the children’s program begins on Tuesday, 

June 2 and continues through Saturday, Aug. 1. Each child who participates 

will come to the library and check out the books he or she would like 

to read, take them home, and read them at their own pace. When the 

books are returned to the library, either the reader or the parent will 

record the titles on a reading record kept at the library. All books read 

must be age appropriate—in other words, 9-year-olds will not get credit 

for reading easy books for preschoolers. Depending on the child’s age, 

he or she will earn a stamp to be placed on the reading record for every 

two to five books that have been read. At the end of the summer we will 

host a huge awards ceremony and party for all participants. Each child 

who participates in the program will receive a goody bag of surprises and 

children who read at least 10 books will qualify for a certificate. The top 

three “Most Wanted” readers in each age group will receive special prizes. 

The party for this age group will be held 10 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 8. 

Join your friends and neighbors for a fun-filled summer of reading at 

your library. Mickelsen Community Library is located in the basement 

of Building 2E. Call 568-6156 for more information or visit us at 

www.blissmwr.com/Library.

performance, during “Downtown KidsPalooza”. 

The El Paso Symphony Orchestra, led by Benjamin Loeb, presented three interactive 

children’s performances of Brothers Grimm’s “Rumpelstiltskin.” These concerts 

were presented in conjunction with Downtown KidsPalooza, which took place 

March 28. This was the second annual Downtown KidsPalooza, which highlighted 

the magnificent Plaza Theatre, the newly renovated Cleveland Square, the Insights 

Museum, historic Union Plaza and Lynx Exhibits, as well as fun family cultural 

experiences. 

This one-day fun-filled family event included children’s concerts, crt & music

Recipe for Bubbles 

Just mix one part liquid dish detergent with 15 parts water - one quick way to do this is to just mix 1/4 cup 

detergent with 3 3/4 cups of water. Use filtered and fairly soft water if you can. Then, take a wire coat hanger, 

bend and twist it into a small loop or two, and you’re ready to go. Blowing bubbles works even better if you 

have small children who love to chase them or are just learning to blow them. 

Recipe for Bread Dough 

1 c. flour 

¼ c. salt 

6 tbsp. hot tap water 

Knead about 5 minutes, add food coloring as desired. Store in plastic bag and mold into ornaments. 

Recipe for Children’s Clay Ornaments 

2 c. baking soda 

1 1/4 c. cold water 

1 c. cornstarch 

Mix cornstarch and soda, blending well. Add cold water and mix until smooth. Boil one minute until it looks 

like mashed potatoes. Stir constantly. Cover with damp towel and allow to cool. Knead the dough and roll out. 

Use cookie cutters or mold shapes by hand. Dry until hard 1 to 2 days. Paint ornaments with Tempera or water 

colors. Dry and then coat with clear shellac. Press wire hanger into back before dough dries. 

Operation Purple® Summer Camp 

Freedom Camp 2009 

Freedom Camp is a collaborative effort designed to support 

children of deployed and redeployed service members and 

those who are preparing for deployment and is open to 

Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard children from 

any branch of Service. 

Teens ages 13-18 will attend Freedom Camp 2009 at 

Bonita Park Camp and Conference Center in Capitan, NM 

(just outside Ruidoso) from June 29 - July 3. Youth will be 

exposed to recreational, social, educational, and therapeutic 

activities which will help them understand and better cope 

with the effects of war, deployments, and reunification. 

Freedom Camp includes lodging, meals, activities and 

transportation-thanks to support from the Permian Basin 

Triad Foundation and Fort Bliss in the beautiful Rocky 

Mountains of south-central New Mexico on 200 acres 

When you hear “Operation Purple Camp” you should think: Kids Serve Too! 

The National Military Family Association’s Operation Purple Camp is a time 

for having fun, making friends, and reminding military kids that they are the 

Nation’s youngest heroes. 

As an organization dedicated to serving military families, the National Military 

Family Association recognized the need for more resources to support 

military children. In 2004, the Operation Purple program was created as a 

way to help military children struggling with the stresses of war. 

These free, week-long, overnight camps are open to military children ages 

7-17 and will be held at Lone Tree Ranch Captain, N.M., adjacent to Lincoln 

National Forest. The program aims to help military kids experience carefree 

fun while also learning coping skills to deal with deployment-related stress 

and fostering relationships with other children who know what they are going 

through. Operation Purple camp allows kids to gain confidence by learning 

to be stewards of the community and of the environment. 

Operation Purple summer camp activities, including hiking, horseback riding, 

mountain biking, climbing, rappelling and mountain scooters take place in the 

national forest. At Lone Tree, Operation Purple campers will experience 

exciting activities which promote teamwork, help them overcome fears, learn 

coping skills, and teach resiliency. Each activity is designed to build on one 

another as the youth become more familiar with themselves and others, 

learning to trust fellow campers and the staff. 

camps 

of pine-covered woodlands. This five day, overnight camp 

offers high adventure activities including high ropes, paint 

ball, climbing wall, and a mud pit. 

Other activities include: 

• 500-foot ZIPLINE 

• Challenge Course 

• 80 climbs indoor rock wall 

• Indoor heated pool 

• Hiking through the National Forest 

• Campfire area 

• Playing games of sand volleyball! 

• Compete in volleyball and basketball 

• The 90’x60’ MUD PIT can be used for mud volleyball, tug 

of war, mud football and many more mud games 

• Archery 

• Paintball 

• 65-foot tower with outdoor rock wall and rappel 

tower 

Other activities include: 

• Alpine Tower (50-foot tower with 4 ropes and over 25 routes to 

climb) 

• 22 foot Rifle Range 

• Giant 40-foot swing (We like to call it the Screamer!) 

• Basketball (half court with cement floor) 

• Volleyball (outdoor sand court, or indoor) 

• Game room (pool table, ping pong table, and foosball table) 

• Giant outdoor chess set 

• Frisbee Golf 

• 397-foot enclosed flume waterslide! 

Since Operation Purple camp’s implementation, the National Military Family 

Association has sent more than 20,000 military kids to camp for free. In 2009, 

Operation Purple will host nearly 90 weeks of camp held in 62 locations in 

37 states and territories. Camps are free to all participants thanks to support 

from the Sierra Club and the Sierra Club Foundation. 


VEHICLES 

• Slow down! For each 5 mph driven over 60, it costs about 20 cents extra per 

gallon of gas. Some common recommendations to do so: ease up on the gas pedal 

and brake pedal, be sure your tires are inflated and your engine is running smoothly, 

don’t have your car on idle for too long, and get a fuel-efficient car. 

• Shop around for gas: Before you pull over and start filling up, shop around for the 

cheapest place to get gas. Find the cheapest gas in your area: www.gasbuddy.com. 

• Use cruise control: If you’re not going to be hitting any stop signs or traffic lights, 

set your cruise control to conserve gas. 

• Ride a bike, walk, carpool: Driving contributes to global warming and the 

depletion of our natural resources, not to mention pollution. So the less you drive, 

the better. Even if you only replace a few trips a week with a bike or walking or 

carpooling, you’re doing your part to help stop global warming and save on gas 

money at the same time. 

• Do regular scheduled maintenance on your vehicles: Do not skimp on or 

forget to do regular oil changes. Remember to check the air in your tires often. 

These small acts can significantly lengthen the life of your car, giving you years of 

use. 

• Avoid buying a new car: When you eventually buy a car, see if you can make 

do with a pre-owned vehicle. A new car depreciates significantly the moment you 

drive it out the dealership. Pre-owned cars that are only a few years old with low 

mileage are the best bargains. 

• Combine errands: Run as many errands as you can in one trip to cut down on 

your driving time.

WAYS TO SAVE MONEY IN THESE 

HARD ECONOMIC TIMES 

In these tough economic times, everyone is looking for ways to save money. Now more than ever, it’s more important to make 

every penny count. When tough times hit, it’s hard to know where you need to tighten your belt, but these tips on saving money 

can help you get started. 

• Turn off unused electronics: Even when turned off, electronics like cell phone 

chargers, DVD players and televisions spew 18 million tons of CO2 into the 

atmosphere annually. By unplugging them, a family can save up to $256 annually. 

• Thermostat: Just by using a programmable thermostat, you can save about $100 

a year in energy costs 

• Do the dishes: Use reusable dishes for your meals instead of paper plates and cups. 

• Run full loads of clothes and dishes. Most of the energy used by dishwashers 

is to heat a set amount of water, so running smaller loads wastes both energy and 

water. Air dry dishes for added energy savings. 

• Change washing machine settings: Heating water uses energy and costs money. 

Wash your clothes in warm or cold water instead of hot. 

• Shade your windows: Close shades, blinds or drapes during the day to keep light 

and heat from coming in through the windows. Direct sunlight will heat your home 

and cause the AC to work harder. Alternately, uncovering windows to let sun in 

could be helpful for heating in the winter. 

• Use compact fluorescent bulbs: If every U.S. household replaced one traditional 

light bulb with a compact fluorescent one, people would save $600 million nationally 

in utility bills. 

• Bundle cable and internet. You can save a lot of money by bundling these 

together rather than purchasing the separately. 

• Use cell phones - skip the landline. 

• Cancel subscriptions. We don’t get the newspaper or magazines. Almost 

everything we want can be found on-line for free. 

• Water your outdoor plants in the early morning, before the sun can burn off 

moisture. The average lawn needs only one hour of watering a week. 

• Raise your mower blades to the 3-inch setting. Shaggy grass holds moisture 

longer, requiring less watering. 

• Plant a tree: Strategic placement of trees and bushes around your home can 

increase shade and decrease energy consumption. Try shading your air conditioning 

unit as well as windows that get a lot of sun. Just three trees can save between $100 

and $250 a year in heating and cooling costs. 

• Quit smoking: It’s much easier said than done, but smokers, you’re burning up a 

gold mine. Smoking a pack a day costs about $1,460 a year. 

• Use cloth napkins, towels and diapers: Paper napkins, paper towels and 

disposable diapers are easy and convenient, but cloth can be washed and used 

again. Use these to save money and the environment. 

• Change your air filters: A clogged or dirty air filter reduces airflow to the 

heating or AC unit, causing it to work harder and use more energy. Change your 

filters once a month. 

• Buy used if possible. Before buying something new, ask friends or relatives, look 

at garage sales or thrift shops, look on eBay or other similar sites where used 

stuff is sold. You’re helping a product live longer, thus reducing the impact on the 

environment, and at the same time getting it much cheaper (and sometimes just 

like new). 

• Take care of things. Treat things you own with respect and take good care of 

them. This includes doing things such as cleaning your house, washing your cars, and 

polishing shoes. Things last much longer when you take good care of them. 

• Insulation. Be sure your house is properly insulated to save on heating and cooling 

costs. Many people allow their house to lose a ton of energy a year by neglecting 

this important step. 

• Is your water set to scalding? Cool it. If you have a tank water heater, turn down 

the temp a bit to save major energy. Many installers set heaters to 140 degrees, but 

you can comfortably get away with closer to 120 - which is hot enough to get your 

dishes clean - you’ll save 6%-10% on water-heating costs. 

FINANCES 

• Consolidate and pay off debt as soon as possible: If you carry any debt, focus 

on consolidating it to a lower interest rate and paying it off as soon as possible. 

Money paid in interest is money thrown away! Carrying a $1,000 balance at 18% 

blows $180 every year on interest. Get in the habit of paying off your balance in 

full each month. 

• Negotiate your rate - Instead of paying an APR of 18% on your credit card, call 

your issuer and ask for a lower rate. If you have good credit, your lender might 

consider it. 

• Shop for a new card with a lower interest rate. Watch out for introductory 

offers. You don’t want to get reeled in with the promise of a 5% rate only to find 

that it’ll shoot up to 18% after three or six months - unless you’re confident you 

can pay off your entire balance within the introductory time frame. 

• Pay your bills on time and avoid late fees: Get organized about your regular 

bills. If possible, automate the payments. Making sure your credit is in tip-top shape 

can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in the long run. You’re entitled 

by law to one free credit report once a year from each of the three main credit 

bureaus. Go to www.annualcreditreport.com to see what lenders can see about 

your credit history. 

• Get checking with bling! No-interest checking is so old fashioned. Instead, give 

your money more opportunity to shine with an interest-bearing online checking 

account. 

• Avoid ATM fees: Be aware of the ATM withdrawal fees charged by your bank. Be 

sure to use only those ATM machines where your bank will not charge the fees, or 

withdraw directly at your bank. 

• Avoid credit cards with annual fees: Credit cards with their cash back bonuses 

and reward points are a great way to save some money. Just make sure that the card 

does not charge you any annual fees!

ENTERTAINMENT 

• Get an online DVD store membership: Membership to online movie stores 

like Netflix or Blockbuster Online can save you a lot of money compared to buying 

DVDs or renting it from a local store. 

• Dust off your library card and enjoy DVDs and books for free and you can 

cut costs by $30. Plus, check out library-sponsored events, such as book readings 

and clubs, film screenings and lectures. 

• If you like watching movies at the theater, go before 6p.m.: Go before 6p.m. 

when the tickets are a little less expensive. 

• As any parent knows, a good chunk of any entertainment budget can 

be eaten up just paying the babysitter. Join forces with a relative, neighbor 

or friend and trade off watching each other’s kids, instead. For example, you watch 

their kids one Saturday evening and they watch yours the following weekend. If 

you spent $10 to $20 a week on a babysitter, you could save $560 to $1,120 per 

year with your co-op. 

• Buy tickets in bulk to get a 10% (or more) discount to many exhibitions and 

events. Team up with friends, co-workers or relatives to get the lower rate. 

• Forget the gym membership that’ll cost you almost $500 a year. Instead, 

check out community centers in your area. Some may be free or charge a minimal 

fee, such as $100 a year. Or buy a good pair of running shoes, or dust off that bike 

and work out the old-fashioned way. 

• College campuses are a trove of quality entertainment options, 

from 

student musical performances, film festivals, art exhibits, theater productions, dance 

recitals, sporting events and more. 

• There is plenty of free and cheap entertainment to be had at the hands of 

Mother Nature. Go hiking, picnicking, bird watching, fishing, kayaking or camping. 

You could even host a campout and hotdog roast in your backyard. The sky’s the 

limit.

Golfer ‘swings’ by Underwood to give clinic 

More than 30 Fort Bliss golfers got into the swing of things when PGA 

Tour veteran Calvin Peete dropped by George V. Underwood Golf 

Complex to give a clinic Feb. 20. 

The 65-year-old Peete, a 12-time winner on the PGA Tour and its most 

accurate driver for 10 straight seasons, was in Las Cruces, N.M., for a 

tournament and decided to stop by Underwood to show his support for 

the troops. 

“A gentleman called from New Mexico State University and asked if 

it would be alright for Mr. Peete to come down here and maybe give a 

clinic for the military,” said Bobby Kaerwer, manager of Underwood Golf 

Complex. “They asked if we’d be interested in hosting him, and I said sure, 

you bet, we’d love to have him. 

“It was nice, because everything with the tournament was being done up 

in Las Cruces, and he was the one that said, ‘I’m here, is there a military 

post that’s close by so I could may do something for the service guys?’ It’s 

something that came out of him,” Kaerwer continued. “He just wanted to 

come down and do something for the military, and that’s why he came.” 

Between 35 and 40 golfers received instruction on how to improve their 

golf swing in a clinic that lasted about 30 minutes, Kaerwer said, and was 

beneficial for golfers of all skill levels. 

“Basically, he discussed fundamentals as far as the golf swing is concerned 

– what people need to work on, having a good grip, having a good rhythm 

in their swing, doing things that are mechanically correct,” he said. “He 

demonstrated some skills that he felt like if the people there worked on 

them, it would certainly help their game.” 

Underwood golf pro honored with Lifetime Achievement Award 


golf 

Following the demonstration, Peete opened up to questions and answers, 

and then retired to the clubhouse to spend time with the military golfers 

present. 

“One of the things that was nice was that, 

not only did he give the clinic, but when 

he was finished he came back in here and 

socialized with the members, and people 

got a chance to talk to him,” Kaerwer 

said. “It was not just a hit-and-miss type 

thing where he came in, did the clinic 

and then walked away. He spent time 

talking to people, a lot of pictures were 

taken – it was a good event.” 

The clinic was different than ones previously 

hosted at the Golf Complex because it was offered 

at no cost to the Soldiers or the facility, Kaerwer said. 

“In the past we’ve had other people here giving clinics, … but we’ve 

usually had to pay for them,” he said. “This was doubly good in that … we 

didn’t have to pay for it. He wanted to do it on his own.” 

Peete did not begin playing golf until he was 23 years old. He excelled at 

the game, despite his late start and the challenges presented by an arm 

that never properly set after being broken when he was a youngster living 

in Missouri. Peete never became a power player, but was known for his 

accuracy and consistent, error-free play. The most successful African- 

American golfer on the PGA tour before the emergence of Tiger Woods, 

Peete was inducted into the African American Ethnic Sports Hall of Fame 

in 2002. 

In recognition of his years of dedication to the game he loves, Bobby Kaerwer, head golf professional and manager 

at the George V. Underwood Golf Complex, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Sun Country 

Section of the PGA of America. 

“You’re very honored to be recognized by your peers,” said Kaerwer, who has been at Underwood since 1971. 

“But, you know, if you’re doing the things that you’re doing – if you’re doing it to be recognized, you’re doing it 

for the wrong reasons. That’s the way I feel about it. 

“I mean, I’m doing my job, and my job as a golf professional is to promote the game of golf,” he continued. “That’s 

what my job is, and I have to do it for everybody. I have to do it for men, I have to do it for women, I have to do 

it for kids … but it’s something I want to do.” 

While just “doing his job,” Kaerwer has, according to the Sun Country Section, “arguably had as big of an impact 

on golf and golf professionals as anyone in the history of the Sun Country PGA.” This impact includes having 

held every office in the section, including the presidency. On the national level, Kaerwer has served on the PGA 

National Education Committee and the PGA National Apprentice Committee, and was at one time a faculty 

member in a program that provided instructors to assistant golf professionals who aspired to become members 

of the PGA of America. He was also instrumental in getting a professional golf management program instituted 

at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces. 

Kaerwer has been elected to the El Paso Golf Hall of Fame, has won numerous national and section awards, and 

is a featured teacher in Golf Magazine’s South Central Region. 

“I guess that’s kind of it in a nutshell,” said Kaerwer, who graduated from Texas Tech University with bachelor’s 

and master’s degrees in education and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Army in 1967. “I have been very 

fortunate over the years to have some great people who have worked alongside me. 

“My staff inside the golf shop has been a great staff,” he continued. “The Golden Tee has been one of those 

facilities that has been well-received by everybody, also, and then I’ve got great office support in Kris [Woodson] 

and Shirley [Rehrig] inside. I’ve been very, very fortunate to be surrounded by some good people.”
