Ellicott Elementary School students will
now have a place to let other children know
they need a friend thanks to Schriever resident
and Ellicott Elementary fourth grader Natalie
Moore. That’s because Moore, 9, donated a
pair of Buddy Benches to the school during
a ceremony there May 11.
“If you’re feeling lonely or your friends
aren’t at school that day you can go sit on
the bench and somebody will come over and
invite you to their game,” Moore said. “And
if you see someone on the bench, no matter
what, you’re supposed to go over and invite
them to play.”
Moore created the benches as the final piece
to earning her Girl Scouts Bronze Award. In
order to earn the Bronze Award, Girl Scout
Juniors must complete a Journey, create something reusable and make a positive, lasting
change for their community.
Typically, the Journey and project would be
completed by a group of Girl Scout Juniors,
but Natalie’s situation was unique in that she
did almost everything by herself.
“Most troops have a group of girls who
brainstorm, plan and execute these projects
together,” said Bonnie Moore, Natalie’s mother. “She did this by herself. Usually you might
have 12 to 15 girls working on a project and
Nat did it solo because she didn’t want to miss
the opportunity to get her Bronze Award.”
A Bronze Award is the highest honor a
Girl Scout Junior can achieve, according to
girlscouts.org.
Bonnie said this project also had a personal
meaning for Natalie.
“She doesn’t have very many friends at

Lt. Sara Holman swims during the 800 meter freestyle race at an event in Coral Springs, Fla. Holman’s success in 2014, including a fourth place finish in the 800 Long
Course Meters freestyle at the FINA Worlds event in Montreal and breaking Colorado Masters Swimming Association records in both the 200 LCM backstroke and 800
LCM freestyle, helped earn her the 2014 Air Force Athlete of the Year award.
By Brian Hagberg
50th Space Wing Public Affairs
First Lt. Sara Holman has received many
accolades during her swimming career.
She earned NCAA Division II Swimmer of
the Week honors during her junior year of
college, took fourth place in the 800 meter
freestyle event at the FINA World Masters
Championships in Montreal last August and
is currently ranked third in the nation in five
events by U.S. Masters Swimming.
Now, she can add 2014 Air Force Athlete
of the Year to that list.
“I wasn’t expecting [to win the award], but
it was awesome,” Holman said. “It’s great; I
never thought I would receive an Air Forcelevel award.”
Capt. Eric Miller, 2nd Space Operations
Squadron, said the squadron is proud of
Holman for earning the Athlete of the Year,
and that it serves as motivation for the rest
of the squadron.
“The squadron is extremely proud of Sara’s
accomplishments,” he said. “We already
knew she was an awesome analyst, but the
fact that she beat out other world class athletes for such a competitive award is exciting

Lunch, Learn offers new perspective

Sarah Bender, Sensei resident teacher, Springs Mountain Sangha (Zen Buddhist Practice Community), speaks during the Schriever Lunch and Learn in the Dish Dining Facility April 29, at Schriever Air Force Base, Colo. The 50th
Space Wing Chaplain’s office is offering information about world religions at their Lunch and Learn events 11:30
a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Wednesdays through June 3.
The 50th Space Wing Chaplain’s office is
offering information about world religions
at their Lunch and Learn events 11:30 a.m.
to 12:30 p.m., Wednesdays through June
3, at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado.
Each session highlights a different world
religion and a guest speaker from the local community. The April 29 Lunch and
Learn focused on Buddhism, the May 6
event was about Judaism, May 13 features
Christianity, May 20 will look at Earth
Based religion, Islam is tentatively scheduled for May 27, and Hinduism, June 3.
Chaplain (Major) Martin Adamson, 50
SW, brought the idea of the Lunch and
Learn here from his last assignment in
hope of spreading knowledge.
“It’s an educational opportunity for people
to learn about religions they may not have
otherwise known about,” said Adamson.
“It’s an hour for people to get a little bit more
than they would have otherwise.”
Speakers for the Lunch and Learn are
from the local Colorado Springs community. They offer insight into their respective
religions and answer questions.
“Being in the military, we travel all
around the world and encounter different
faiths,” he said. “This information can help
us interact with different cultures in the
future. It’s not meant to push any particular
faith or religion on anyone.”
Staff Sgt. Marcela Parker, 50 SW NCO-in
charge Chapel operations, said the Lunch
and Learn has received a growing ammount of attention and attendance.
“It’s for people to go and discuss new
religions and for people who don’t know
about that specific religion to ask questions,” she said. “We just want people to
know that we’re here for them. And if you
have questions, just ask.”
Parker and Adamson said the program
is a good overall way for people to interact,
fellowship and just network with others
they may not have known.
“It’s good to be exposed,” said Adamson.
“We might learn something.”
The chapel staff credited the success of
the Lunch and Learn to Chaplain (1st Lt.)
Jennifer Ray who helped coordinate the
event.
They said they are happy to support all
Airmen regardless of their faith.
“The goal is education,” said Adamson.
“An educated Airmen is a better Airmen.”

COLORADO SPRINGS MILITARY NEWSPAPER GROUP
Deputy Commander, 50th Network Operations Group
If you had asked me in summer 2011
whether or not I thought I would ever be
assigned to the 50th Space Wing, I would
have told you “no.” That summer I was
PCSing from the Joint Staff back to the 21st
Operations Group to serve as the chief of
Standardization and Evaluation Division in
a mission area that I knew extremely well.
While I had a general idea of the 50 SW’s
mission, I had never been assigned here in
any capacity so my understanding of satellite command and control was very limited.
In fact, I had no idea what the Air Force
Satellite Control Network was much less
what its acronym represented. So you can
imagine my surprise when in October 2011,
it was announced that I would be assigned
to Schriever Air Force Base.
Arriving in June 2012, it didn’t take me
long to realize how special this Wing is and
how critical our operations are to not only
the U.S. Armed Forces but every aspect of our
Nation. When former 2nd Space Operations
Squadron commander, Lt. Col. Thomas Ste.
Marie coined the term “Humanity” to describe GPS operations, I initially thought
it was cliché-ish. However, I have come to
think that his one word description could
be used to describe the global impact not
just of GPS but provided by each and every
squadron in this wing. For that reason, I
further believe that “Master of Space” is not
just a wing motto, it is the truth.
Serving with each of you for these past
three years has been truly amazing. Watching
what this wing has accomplished ... from
overcoming severe budget restraints, to mission impacting satellite anomalies, to preparing for two massive AFSPC IG inspections,
to overcoming severe cyber challenges, has
been eye opening and humbling. Each of you
have met the challenges head-on and have
never waivered in your professionalism and
dedication to the mission. There is a reason
why we continue to win the Air Force Space
Command’s Gen. Robert T. Herres award
and Omaha Trophy: You are truly the best
our nation has to offer.
Since 2001, our nation has been in a constant state of conflict and while our involvement in Iraq has ended and we are drawing
down in Afghanistan, that doesn’t mean we
have won the war. There will always be individuals, groups and even nation-states who
wish the United States ill and the capabilities
we provide to our warfighting brethren will
become even more important.
Normally, I try and use my commentaries as an opportunity to spurn discussion
and thought. However, I wanted to use this
one to merely say thank you. So far, I have
served in our Air Force for 21 years and I
have never had an assignment that has been
as meaningful and professionally rewarding
as my assignment to the 50th Space Wing. It
has been a pleasure serving with each of you
and I will forever cherish the many friendships I have made.
I decided a long time ago that I was “all in”
and would go wherever the Air Force needed
me. However, when it was announced that I
would be assigned to Schriever, I must confess that I did question that decision. Three
years later with assignments in both the 50th
Operations Support Squadron and the 50th
Network Operations Group, I can honestly
say that being assigned to the 50th Space
Wing has been one of the greatest blessings
of my career! Every assignment is different
but what makes an assignment are the people
with whom you serve. Whether military, civilian or contractor, we are truly a seamless
team which has made serving with each of
you a true honor.

school, so this [project] started personally,” Bonnie said. “We
were looking for a way to be the change, and everything fell
in line. She’s hoping that other kids like her, that need a little
help, walk away [from the bench] with someone to talk to.”
Robin Weidemueller, Ellicott School District director of
gifted and talented, said gifted students, like Natalie, often
have trouble making friends because other kids view them
differently.
“It is sometimes hard [for them to make friends], so
it was really neat that Natalie could see that in herself,”
Weidemueller said. “That was something she had to work
on to make it happen, and then she found a way to share
it with her peers. I think that was an insightful thing for a
fourth grader to be able to do.”
While researching the Buddy Bench project, Natalie discovered this idea is rapidly becoming a national movement
among youth in America. Buddybench.org tells the story
of Christian Bucks, an elementary student at Roundtown
Elementary School in York, Pennsylvania. Bucks saw a Buddy
Bench at a school in Germany while researching for a potential family move, and decided to try to get a bench for
his school.
The bench was so popular that soon every school in the
district had one, and the project began to spread to other
areas. Bucks’ story became so widespread he was featured
on the Today Show Dec. 4, 2014, and Buddy Benches are
now at schools across the country.
“It’s a movement now,” Bonnie said. “Since we started
doing research, we’ve noticed how widespread it’s become.”
Bonnie said it was approximately two months from the
day they pitched the idea to Ellicott Elementary Principal
Joe Torrez until the dedication ceremony. During that time,
Natalie raised money, purchased materials to create the
benches, painted the benches and weather sealed them, all
of this with only minimal assistance from her friends and
parents.
In order to raise enough money to purchase the benches
and all the materials to finish them, Natalie created a tri-fold
board explaining her project and put it in the school hallway
with a donation can so other students could contribute. She
also held a yard sale at her home on base which helped her
raise $150 for the project.
“She had a lot of support from people on base,” Bonnie said.

Natalie Moore (seated, left), a fourth grade student at Ellicott Elementary School and Schriever resident, sits on one of the Buddy Benches she donated
to the school Monday at Ellicott, Colo., with Ellicott Elementary Principal Joe Torrez and members of her Girl Scout troop. Moore created the benches
as her project to promote positive, lasting change to her community and earn her Girl Scout Bronze Award.
Completing the project wasn’t without incident. There
were several obstacles and setbacks along the way. Bonnie
said they spent a significant amount of time researching
exactly which kinds of wood and paint would work best for
the project, then once Natalie settled on a bench, it wasn’t
available.
“When she picked the bench she really wanted, it wasn’t
available when they went to buy it,” Weidemueller said. “So
she had to redo her whole thinking.”
Natalie said the family cat left his personal signature on
the bench as well.
“He stepped all over the orange paint and got it all over
the arms,” she said.
The area’s severe weather recently nearly left Natalie
stranded in the mountains and a produced small pond in
the school playground. Fortunately, the school yard was dry
for the ceremony.
“Natalie was with the Girl Scouts camping and she was
snowed in on the mountain,” Bonnie said. “We had a few
hiccups, but it was mostly smooth sailing.”
With the completion of the project, Natalie has earned
her Bronze Award, though she won’t receive the patch
until her troop’s end of year party. What she really wants
to see though, is people taking advantage of the Buddy
Benches at school.
“I would like to see somebody walking away from the
bench with somebody talking with them,” she said. “I’m
not saying I want to see people on the bench, but you want
to see people walking away from the bench with someone
to play with.”

Chief’s Corner
Invest, empower, inspire
By Chief Master Sgt. John F. Bentivegna
50th Space Wing Command Chief
These are the leadership themes I spoke about
during last week’s Airmen Leadership School graduation and I wanted to share them here.
Invest
Most people think of money when you say that
word...profits and financial gains. But I’m talking
about a far more valuable resource...our Airmen
(with a big A). As supervisors, leaders and mentors I
need you to invest in our Airmen and the currency
you’re going to use is your time. Give Airmen your
time and attention. Get to know them, their goals,
strengths and weaknesses, what drives them and
how you can motivate them. The investments you
make can be long-term or short-term. Long-term
investments are with the people you supervise, work
with and see regularly for a few years. Short-term
investments can be as simple as an Airman you
attend ALS with or maybe run across at the mili-
History Quiz
Week of May 14, 2015
tary personnel customer service center. Throughout
my career, I have experienced and benefited from
both Airmen who have become lifelong friends and
Airmen whose names I can’t even remember, who
have all invested in my success and growth. These
interactions have been critical in allowing me to
serve until this day.
Empower
As supervisors and NCOs in charge you need to
empower your Airmen and allow them to grow.
Present them with new challenges and opportunities, give them ownership of tasks, projects and
programs. If you have invested in them, you will
know their strengths, capabilities and potential.
There is an old Native American proverb that says,
“Tell me and I’ll forget, show me, and I may not
remember. Involve me, and I’ll understand.” The
lessons learned through empowerment help Airmen
learn how to make decisions, accept responsibility
and develop innovative solutions.
Inspire
Napoleon Bonaparte said, “A leader is a dealer in
hope”. Do you inspire the Airmen around you? Do
you come to work every day motivated and ready to
make a difference? I challenge you to be the positive
influence in your work center. Understand what
you do, how it contributes to the mission of your
organization and ultimately to our national defense.
Share what you know, the lessons you’ve learned
and the successes you’ve had. Your influence is not
limited by any rank, position or duty title. You have
the ability to inspire your subordinates, your peers
and your leadership.
The U.S. Air Force needs you to be innovative
leaders. Invest in the Airmen around you because
you never know what return you may receive on even
a small investment. Empower your people because
you need to grow and develop your replacement and
our future leaders. Inspire those around you, come
to work every day and show by your actions that our
Air Force is not just a job to you, it’s a way of life.
Last week’s answer: The wing remained in France for several years. Which of the flying squadrons was
the first to return to Hahn and when did that unit arrive? Bonus: What was their primary mission aircraft
when they returned to Hahn? The 10th TFS was the first to return to Hahn Air Base December 10, 1959. The
squadron returned with its newest aircraft, the F 100 Supersabre.
This week’s question: May 8, 2015 marked the 70th anniversary of the allied victory in Europe. From where
was the 50th Fighter Group operating on that date?

Top III awards top performer
Each month the Schriever Air Force
Base Top III honors a Top Performer.
The Top Performer award highlights
the superior efforts and contributions
of our junior enlisted members from
across the base.
Senior Airman Britney Hepburn was
recently coined by the 50th Mission
Support Group commander and chief
enlisted manager for her professionalism and ability to clearly articulate
our Airman’s story during a First Term
Airman Center graduation where she
outshined peers, non-commissioned
officers, and senior non-commissioned officers in front of 50th Space
Wing leadership. The FTAC NCO-in
charge stated, “She set the standard.”
Due to limited NCOs in the 11th Space
Warning Squadron, she has displayed
the maturity and prowess to earn the
position as the squadron’s security
manager. In addition to the daily rigors that come with that additional duty,

for her tenacity and taking ownership
of a process that provides restricted access to more than 35 contractors on a

success of the $17.6 billion Space Based

a position held by the top 10 percent of

with a creative and innovative spirit,
she laid the groundwork for conducting 45 qualification evaluations, which
decreased ad-hoc processes. Her initiative showcased her commitment to

Olympians who train all their lives and
training is their full-time job and Sara,
who does this on the side, can crush
most of them in the lap pool.”
Holman, an analyst with 2 SOPS,
began her swimming career by joining
the synchronized swimming team in the
seventh grade. She said some of her teammates encouraged her to give competitive
swimming a try and she eventually found
she enjoyed it more than synchronized
swimming.
“A lot of people on [the synchronized]
team became good friends of mine and
they were competitive [swimmers], so
I tried it out,” Holman said. “When I
got to college I just did competitive and
dropped synchronized swimming.”
Holman swam during all four of her
undergraduate years at the University
of South Dakota. She attended graduate school at the University of Florida,

and leader, you’ve got to set the example.
If your example is excellence, which in
her case it is, that’s a huge piece of the
leadership puzzle.”
Miller said he’s already seen Holman’s
dedication to excellence translated to
her Air Force career, as her performance
as a payload system operator for GPS
earned her a spot in the analyst certification program.
“She was selected to undergo our rigorous analyst certification program, which
can take as long as six months,” Miller
said. “She completed it in half that time
and is now an analyst-on-call, basically
the first line of defense when the crew
detects an anomaly with the system. This
is a huge deal.”
Holman said it’s hard some days to get
her swimming in, but it’s worth it to her
to put in the extra time. She added she
would put the time in even if she wasn’t a
competitive swimmer because she loves
the sport so much.
“I swim for fun and if I do well, that’s
great,” she said. “But I would be swimming anyway and I’ll probably do it for
the rest of my life just because I love it
so much.”

this year and they will be holding another Worlds event in August. This year,
the event will be in Kazan, Russia, and
Holman is already planning to compete.
She has also set high goals for herself for
the event.
“In Montreal my best place was
fourth,” she said. “This time around I
definitely want to medal. I want a gold
medal, but I definitely want to break into
the top three.”
She said her leadership has been supportive of her swimming career, especially when it comes to traveling to big
events.
“My commander, Lt. Col. Benson, has
been really supportive,” she said. “He
loves when I go on these trips and I come
back and tell him I did well.”
Miller said the dedication Holman
gives to her swimming career only helps
her become a better Airman and leader
to her squadron.
“She has displayed an unwavering
dedication to become a world class athlete,” Miller said. “Most days of the week,
she shows up at the pool to train before
work, logging miles in the water before
most of us eat breakfast. As an officer

and that’s where she discovered Masters
swimming.
“When I was in grad school they had a
Masters team, the Gator Swim Club,” she
said. “I just got into it more and more.”
She joined the Colorado Masters
Swimming Association after arriving at
Schriever Air Force Base. She set CMSA
records in the 800 Long Course Meters
freestyle and 200 LCM backstroke events
in 2014. Masters swimming is for swimmers 18 and older, with competition divided into 5-year age groups.
“Masters swimming has really expanded during the last five years,” Holman
said.
Her association with Masters swimming led her to the FINA event in
Montreal last August. She swam the
maximum five events and had top ten
times in three of them.
“It was my first big competition after I’d gone through Officer Training
School,” Holman said. “There was a long
period where I couldn’t swim and I didn’t
know what to expect. My times were
pretty good and I was happy with it.”

Airman returns home to Nepal earthquake
By Maj. Ashley Conner
Pacific Air Forces Public Affairs
KATHMANDU, Nepal — When Senior
Airman Manoj Khatiwada was asked to join
a team of Pacific Air Force Airmen traveling
to Nepal to assist the government with relief
operations following a magnitude 7.8 earthquake, he was filled with mixed emotions.
“Returning to Nepal for this mission was
an emotional moment for me. I didn’t know
how I would react seeing the city where I was
born and raised destroyed,” said Khatiwada,
a 21st Medical Operations Squadron aerospace medical technician. “Thousands of
Nepalese died and thousands are injured.
I am happy that I am here, but I am sad to
see this happen to Nepal.”
Khatiwada was born and raised in Nepal
and came to the United States in 2009 after winning permanent residency through
the DV lottery program. Each year, the U.S.
government makes 50,000 permanent residence visas available through the Diversity
Immigrant Visa Program. The DV program
was designed to bring greater racial and ethnic diversity to the United States. It offers
50,000 permanent residency visas to citizens
of nations that have traditionally low levels
of immigration to the United States.
“Since childhood, I have had the desire
to be in uniform and serve in the military,”
he said. “I was fortunate to join the world’s
greatest military and serve the men and
women who welcomed me with open arms.”
Since arriving in Nepal, Khatiwada has
played a critical link between the Nepalese
and the 36th Contingency Response Group
in their effort to assist the Nepalese with
accelerating airfield operations and increase
the capacity to bring in aid via airlift, and
ultimately distribute aid faster to those affected by this disaster.
“Having Senior Airman Khatiwada embedded with our team has helped us better
communicate how we can assist the people of
Nepal in the relief efforts,” said Lt. Col. Glenn
Rinehart, 36th Mobility Response Squadron
commander. “He understands their interests
and helps ensure effective communication
so we can work together better. What would
have normally taken days to orchestrate, he
has been able to communicate and coordinate
within hours.”
Khatiwada said his most rewarding part
of his job was being able to work with the
two countries he loves the most.
“The United States has always been generous and supportive to Nepal and the
Nepalese. I am very thankful that the U.S.
military is able to assist USAID and the
Nepal government in the relief operations,”
he said. “This support means a lot to the
country.”

Manoj joined a team from the 36th Contingency Response Group to assist U.S. Air Force, U.S. Department of State
and U.S. Agency for International Development operations by assisting with communicating with the Nepalese
Army as they process relief supplies following a magnitude 7.8 earthquake that struck the region April 25, 2015.
