Inside Most Excellent!By Tech. Sgt. Gino MattoranoAcademy Spirit staff

The Academy is doing an “Excellent”job of fulfilling its mission to educate, train,and inspire men and women to becometomorrow’s Air Force leaders of character,said unit compliance inspection officialsWednesday.

The 10-day inspection encompassedevery aspect of Academy operations, rang-ing from academics to air base defense.

The Academy received an overall“Excellent” rating, as well as “Excellents”for all five of its major mission areas – the34th Training Wing, the Dean of the Faculty,the Directorate of Athletics, the 10th AirBase Wing and the Academy’s PreparatorySchool. The Superintendent’s staff alsoreceived an “Excellent” rating.

Both Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa, AcademySuperintendent, and the lead Air Forceinspector commented that they had neverseen an organization accomplish this feat.

“I’ve been doing this for a long time,and I’ve never seen a clean sweep,” saidGeneral Rosa. “I couldn’t be more excitedor more pleased, and you should each beproud of yourselves for the hard work youdo every day.

“We’ve had several challenges here atthe Academy lately, and while we still haveseveral areas to work on, this is a huge stepin the right direction. My hat’s off to eachand every one of you.”

General Rosa also expressed his thanksto the 160-member inspection team for theirhard work and professionalism.

Ten Academy organizations, includingthe 10th Medical Group and Academy Band,received an “Outstanding” overall rating forthe inspection - the highest possible in the

rating scale. Many Academy organizationsearned “Excellent” ratings. Additionally theAcademy received an “Excellent” in its abil-ity to respond to contingency operations.

“You spent a lot of time and effort prepar-ing for this inspection, and we recognize theaccomplishments you have made,” said Col.David Snodgrass, Air Force InspectionAgency commander. “That preparation wasvery evident throughout our inspection, andyou should all be very proud.”

The inspector general team also identi-fied 10 outstanding performers from acrossthe base and recognized them with an

Inspector General coin. Coin recipientswere: Airman 1st Class Samuel Medellin,10th Medical Group; Airman 1st ClassBenjamin Sosa, 10th CommunicationsSquadron; Staff Sgt.

Co-chair of the awards ban-quet, Senior Master Sgt. DanWilliams, said having the awardstogether this year is a definiteadvantage.

“Previously, we had twoseparate award ceremonies. Now

it’s one team Academy with allthe recipients together at onetime,” he said.

Nominations for the awardswere made first at the squadronlevel, and then worked upthrough the group and wing lev-els until the final winners werechosen by an Academy board.

Chair of the awards banquet,2nd Lt. Daniel Snyder, saidmore than 500 people areexpected to show up for theawards, including commanders,first sergeants, award nominees

and their spouses, and 24 com-munity partners.

“This year the awards willbe combined into a really niceformal evening affair, and I thinkwe’ll get a better event,”Sergeant Williams said.

By Chief Master Sgt. Benjamin Harper Jr.379th Air Expeditionary Wing command chief

SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFPN) — I was out theother day with some of the fine Airmen we have herein the wing and one of them made the comment, “Ican’t wait until I get the opportunity to lead.”

There are many things about leadership that Idon’t understand, but I do know you don’t wait on itto come, you make it happen. In every forum in thelast 10 years, I have heard the statement made that wehave a shortage of good leadership at all levels. Whatmakes a good leader and why is there a shortage?

Leadership involves constant preparation. VinceLombardi, one of the greatest football coaches of alltime, once said, “It is not the desire to win that is soimportant but rather the willingness to prepare.”

So how do we prepare then, since we are allexpected to lead in this deployed combat environ-ment? Retired Army Gen. Montgomery Meigs identi-fied four characteristics that we might recognize ascommon in what we view as good leaders.

The first characteristic is intellect, from whichwe derive the elements of decision and execution —competence, intuition, and will. Good leaders readabout good leaders. They are constantly searchingand studying leaders and leadership styles from allwalks of life. First they make sure they understandthe goals of the mission. Then they search out provenand often innovative ways to get the job done. Here,we say “mission first,” but it is understood it is peo-ple always. We make sure we and our people receivethe best education and follow on training available,

even in the deployed environment. Take the maintenance group,

for example. Do you think they

can provide 40 percent of the airpower for this Areaof Responsibility with the oldest fleet ever in the his-tory of the Air Force by luck or chance? No way, ittakes dedicated leaders who ensure the combat main-tainers have the best tools and training available.They ensure the troops are intellectually prepared toface the challenges of the daily maintenance mission.

The next characteristic is energy. Good leadersget around; they influence the daily “battles” withpresence. They follow their e-mail with their feet!The very best of them have the uncanny ability to beat critical places at critical times. They get out fromunder the pressure of the calendar and focus on thehuman element of the organization.

I think the greatest similarity between motiva-tional energy and depression is that they are bothcontagious. Good leaders get up and get ready. Whenthey are with the troops they are motivated. As aleader, the organization feeds off you. It takes a lot ofenergy to keep this up, which is why the Air Forceplaces so much value on the new physical fitness pro-gram.

Let’s look at the troops in the operations groupfor a minute. This dedicated group of men andwomen are constantly flying. It may be a combat,refueling or humanitarian mission, or it may be car-rying troops, but the mission is constant. The Airmenin the operations group give us a tangible demonstra-tion of the kind of energy it takes to be a good leader.It is constant, focused and always available.

The third characteristic is selflessness. It is trulymotivating to know that your leader is thinking aboutyou first, isn’t it? We have all seen this characteristicdemonstrated time and time again. This allows goodleaders to accept the best decision and not just theirdecision. This characteristic causes us to look “out”and not “in” to our own benefits.

Ranger school drove this point home early to mewhen it taught me that it is always about the soldiers;if you take care of them, they will take care of you. InRanger school, you learn quickly that leaders eat lastand sleep last (and a lot less). Anything to do with

comfort, you as the leader are last in line. Todefine this characteristic in the wing look no fur-ther than the support group. They demonstratethis on a daily basis.

How about the civil engineer memberswho are out in the cold wind on the roofs fix-ing leaks? If the last fire alarm that went off

in the dorms made you mad, think abouthow the fire department sends respondersto every single one, ready to save lives.We don’t fear attacks because of the self-less security forces who maintain a con-

stant shield of protection. There are manymore squadrons in the support group thatdo often-forgotten jobs daily. Their self-

lessness allows us to eat, sleep, and enjoythese creature comforts that we quickly recog-nize whenever they are absent.

The final characteristic is humanity.While humanity is essential to success

for all of us, we most often

think of the medical folks when speaking of humani-ty. Every customer they get never stops by unless heor she is not feeling well; yet, they always take careof us.

Even so, it is a demanding environment for all ofus and mission accomplishment is critical to theAOR. Every day there is a risk of failure, and whilewe have the best of plans and training, the outcome isstill in doubt until we actually execute the mission.The difference in victory and defeat often lies in thefaith the troops have in the leadership and the com-bined perseverance to “hold the line.”

To engender that faith, leaders must have ahuman touch and a feel for the troops. Lt. Gen.Walter E. Buchanan III, U.S. Central Command AirForces commander, says he would “rather talk thantype.” It is hard to relay humanity through e-mail. Itis hard to feel the temperature of the workplace or thedistance to the bathroom from a Power Point presen-tation.

I have had several great lieutenant supervisors inmy life who have really taught me some good lessons.Lieutenant Derry, my best lieutenant supervisor ever,was the kind of leader you would die for. He led us byexample, but he never put himself above any task. Ifwe were wet, he was wet; if we were hot, he was hot.You get the picture. He was out there. He cared for usand it showed daily. “To lead you must know, and toknow you must go,” is a motto the lieutenant exem-plified.

Another time, at a change of command, a generalalso taught me humanity. The weather was threaten-ing and we were all outside while the official partywas on the stage and under a cover. As the ceremonybegan, it started raining. The general got off the stageand out from under the cover. He remained there andgave his entire speech while getting rained on like therest of us. Now, if you think he was just too dumb toget out of the rain, you are sadly missing the point ofhumanity in leadership. He set an example I willnever forget.

Understanding the mission, maintaining the ener-gy to see it through and caring about your troops areleadership qualities that each of us, regardless of ourjobs, can do every day. So don’t wait for the opportu-nity to lead, take it!

ELMENDORF AFB, Alaska – A1990 Academy graduate who is now anAir Force surgeon has set a solid pace forhis dog team during the first 24 hours ofthe Iditarod race.

Maj. Thomas Knolmayer, ElmendorfAFB’s chief of surgery and the only

active-duty Iditarod contender, and histeam of 16 dogs left Willow, Alaska, at2:44 p.m. Sunday. They made it to thefirst checkpoint in Yentna at 7:17 p.m.after running 45 miles through a routecrowded with spectators.

They left Yentna at 8:50 p.m., after abrief rest, for the 34-mile trek toSkwentna, where the team arrived 28minutes after midnight on March 7.Their pace of 9.4 mph for that leg wasright in the middle of the field, whichvaried from five to 12 mph.

All of Major Knolmayer’s dogsarrived at the checkpoint, which is a pos-itive indicator, because the health of thedogs is a primary factor in whetherIditarod competitors get to the finish lineof the 1,100-mile race in Nome, accord-ing to his wife, Mrs. Tina Knolmayer.

The rest break at Skwentna is righton track for Major Knolmayer, who saidhe planned to run the dogs for six hoursand then let them rest for six hoursthroughout the race.

One concern he expressed at theIditarod’s ceremonial start in AnchorageSaturday was the weather.

“The heat is ridiculous – this morn-ing I checked and it was 36 degrees andraining at the first checkpoint. If we getwet before we hit the mountains and the20-below temperatures there, it’s going tobe miserable.”

Another challenge Major Knolmayer

faces is the absence of his toughest dog,who recently sustained a shoulder injury.

“Tomahawk didn’t make it – he’s stilllimping,” he said, “But I still had 19healthy dogs to choose from, and that’smore than I could ask for.”

Major Knolmayer’s mother, AgnesKnolmayer, was optimistic at the cere-monial start. “I hope he finishes and he

doesn’t get hurt – him or the dogs. Iwish I could go with him. This is soexciting!”

Major Knolmayer departedSkwentna sometime Monday for the nextcheckpoint, Finger Lakes, 45 miles to thenorthwest.

Volunteers needed for one-year deploymentsBy Eddie KovskyAcademy Spirit staff

The Air Force chief of staff hasdirected that some key and criticalCentral Command Joint Task Force posi-tions, mainly in Iraq, be filled by Airmenserving on one-year extended deploy-ments.

The move is based on CENTCOM’srequest for increased stability and conti-nuity of operations in the region.According to officials at the Air ForcePersonnel Center, the culture of certaincountries in the Middle East dictates thatkey and critical positions on the joint taskforce headquarters staff remain in placelonger to build closer, more meaningfulties.

The Air Force is assigning people

into these billets immediately, with allmembers scheduled to be in place byAugust. Individuals filling these positionswill receive short-tour credit and will beprovided entitlements similar to those onshort-tour assignments.

“As many of you have heard, we arefilling new extended temporary duties inBaghdad this year and are looking forvolunteers; these TDYs are 365 days inlength,” said Lt. Col. Lee Shick, of AFPC,Randolph AFB. “We are looking for vol-unteers for these positions before havingto turn to our non-volunteer lists.”

At the present time, approximately200 critical positions will be filled by365-day deployment assignments. Officerskill sets that need to be filled includechaplains, judge advocates, public affairs,civil engineers, security, intelligence,

finance, and inspectors general. Enlistedpositions that need to be filled include airtransportation, intelligence, systems, andpersonnel.

AFPC has the lead in identifyingindividuals in 0-5 and E-8 and below forthe extended positions. Volunteers needtheir commander’s concurrence beforebeing considered. AFPC will initiallysolicit for enlisted volunteers via equalplus and officer volunteers through func-tional channels. If an inadequate numberof enlisted personnel volunteer, theAFPC will use established short-tourselection rules to identify candidates.Officers serving overseas tours may beused as a resource to fill the wartimetaskings.

Nonvolunteers eligible for selectionmust have a minimum of 12 months time

on station to be considered. Membersreturning from 120 days or longer deploy-ment less than six months prior to theAugust deployment date will be exempt.

This is not a change to the AirExpeditionary Force deployment lengths,AFPC officials stress. The requirementsare not new and were previously filledevery 120 days. The Air Force Chief ofStaff has stated that the Air Force policyfor AEF rotations will not change.

For further information about thesedeployments and their entitlements, aswell as a list of the job duties that need tobe filled, visit the AFPC Web site athttp://www.afpc.randolph.af.mil/pro-cedures/extendedtdys/extendedtdy.htm.Those interested in applying for anextended TDY should apply throughnormal channels.

Society preserving Department of Defense school historyBy the Academy Spirit staff

That legendary camaraderie between service peopleoverseas isn’t being lost to the more than four millionfamily members who have attended Department ofDefense overseas schools.

The Americans Overseas Schools Historical Societywas founded in 1995 as a means to preserve the uniqueheritage of children of American service members serv-ing overseas, said AOSHS spokesperson Linda Irvine.

AOSHS collects, records, preserves and displays thehistory and memorabilia of American Overseas Schools.

Plans are underway to build a Visitors Center,Archive Research Library, Museum and landscaped Parkwith Memorials to overseas schools, alumni associations,educators and students.

“The city of Wichita, Kan., has been selected for alocation and has donated eight acres in their ‘Museumson the River District’ for this project,” said Ms. Irvine.“To date over 70,000 pounds of memorabilia have beenreceived.

With an estimated project cost of $17.5 million dol-lars, AOSHS is currently in the project’s fundraisingphase. For more information call 316-773-3210, or e-

mail overseasschools@aoshs.org or visit www.aoshs.org

The quality of education has been unsurpassed in theDODDS, not only for the outstanding test scores demon-strated, but for the unique experiences these children hadgrowing up as a minority in a foreign country.

“They have lived and played near international, mili-tary and political headquarters. They have been visited bypresidents, prime ministers, royalty and ambassadors. Inessence, they themselves have been some of our country’sbest ambassadors, as they played and were educated withother children from around the world,” said Ms. Irvine.

Lift off! Tuesday the Academylaunches a dynamic new website readyfor its global delivery of real-time infor-mation to thousands of its monthly visi-tors

The new Web site will provide usersinformative, relevant and current con-tent and serve the information needs ofmany diverse audiences, said Mr.Ronald Kay, 10th CommunicationsSquadron graphics chief.

“The look and feel of the site hasbeen designed and is being built to con-vey ‘Air Force Academy’ throughout,”Mr. Kay said. “A less noticeable, butmore powerful benefit for visitors to thesite is a new ability to quickly knowwhat’s happening at the Academy.Timely and relevant news items are pre-sented on most top-level pages withlinks for obtaining more in-depth detailsas desired.”

Another noticeable benefit is thenews item archive and search feature,he said.

“A visitor will be able to quicklylocate any news item that has been pub-lished on the site by simply selecting afew relative search criteria,” he said.

The site has been in the developmentstage for more than 15 months, to makethe site easier to navigate for users andeasier to maintain for unit webmasters,Mr. Kay said.

“As a part of the redesign, a WebContent Contribution Wizard was creat-ed,” he said. “Using the wizard, an indi-vidual without any Web developmentskills can now produce and have an itemaccessible for viewing via the Web sitewith only a few minutes’ effort and with

minimal human intervention in theprocess of getting the item, to being dis-played on the Web.”

But, building the new web site was-n’t accomplished without a few chal-lenges, Mr. Kay said.

“The new site is more than justchanging its looks; it’s actually an evolv-ing system using cutting-edge technolo-gy to make the collection and presenta-tion of information easier for contentproviders and visitors to the site,” hesaid. “Technically, it’s always a challengeto know when to implement a giventechnology and given the rapid and fluidnature of the Web, the task is made evenmore demanding. But, the web teamembraced the challenge and theAcademy is now well on its way to main-taining a Web site design that uses cur-rent Web standards and technologies.”

Unit webmasters will be trained toupdate their own Web pages with thenew templates and help them migrate to

the new site, said Ms. Satin Zeine-Johnson, 10th CS Web Services divisionchief and Academy webmaster.

Training will be offered in severalformats, including step-by-stepinstruction manuals, a lunch-timetraining session, half-day training ses-sion and one-on-one training.

“We provide telephone assistance,one-on-one training, formal classes inHTML, DreamWeaver and ColdFusion,and administer, maintain and manage allUSAFA internal and external webservers,” Ms. Zeine-Johnson said. “Weare responsible for the maintenance ofAcademy’s primary Web pages, makingsure the Academy stays in compliancewith Academy, Air Force and DOD rulesand guidance, as well as public law.”

Lt. Col. Marcia Meeks-Eure, 10thCS commander, said her team hasworked diligently to develop a Web sitethat the Academy can be proud of foryears to come.

“A lot of hard work and ingenuitywent into this project and it’s bothimpressive and incredible,” ColonelMeeks-Eure said. “I would like to rec-ognize our Multimedia team, FredieLayberger, Ron Kay, Dale Gay and LeeAnderson, our Web Services team,Satin Zeine-Johnson and Dan McKee,and Johnny Whitaker, communicationsmanager, for his guidance and support.”

Mr. Whitaker, Academy director ofcommunications, initiated the construc-tion of the new site because he felt theold site was outdated, cumbersome andfairly static. He wanted a site that wasdynamic and consistently said “AirForce Academy” on every page.

“As we went about designing thenew site – it was truly a team effortinvolving many folks from the 10th CS,the faculty, our acting chief informationofficers, Athletics Department, the 34thTraining Wing and public affairs,” Mr.Whitaker said. “We had one overarchinggoal: To design, develop and launch aworld-class Academy Web presence toproudly represent our great organiza-tion, and to uphold its reputation as apremier military and educational institu-tion. Toward that goal, we insisted thatour new Web site provide relevant andcurrent information to meet the needs ofour broad and diverse audiences, bothinside and outside the gates of theAcademy. And, finally, it had to beclean, attractive and inviting; well orga-nized; and easy to navigate and main-tain.

“We’re extremely proud of the resultof more than a year’s worth of collabo-rative and creative efforts, and I thinkthat when we go live next Tuesday, therest of the Academy will be, too,” Mr.Whitaker said.

Academy safer with 333-RIDE program By Staff Sgt. Steve GreverAcademy Public Affairs

The Academy Rising 6 has recently revamped thebase’s 333-RIDE program, which helps Academy mem-bers get home safely.

The program is available to all active-duty, cadets,spouses and Academy employee ID cardholders.Designated drivers will pick up callers from private orpublic locations, but will not drop off at public establish-ment. Callers are provided a safe ride home or to a pri-vate residence only. Drivers are also available for militaryfunctions like retirements, promotion ceremonies, din-ing-ins and dining-outs.

“The program is not designed to be a taxi service, buta safe ride home when someone’s initial plan fallsthrough,” said Tech. Sgt. Jennifer Isom, 333-RIDE pro-gram coordinator.

Sergeant Isom has been heading the program since itstood up in April 2003. The program was working welluntil it was temporarily halted in the fall of 2004 due tobecause of low demand and little volunteer participation.Sergeant Isom said it’s been challenging getting the pro-gram running again, but she has received a lot of supportfrom several base agencies, that has been essential to theprogram’s resurrection.

“Getting the program off the ground is the easy part,thanks largely to Chief Master Sgt. Karen Jacobs from

the 10th Communications Squadron for providing theprogram cell phones and Staff Sgt. Michael Holland andSenior Airman Cassandra Cantu from the 10th SecurityForces Squadron who maintain our cell phone issue andturn-in part of the program,” Sergeant Isom said. “Gettingvolunteers is the tricky part.”

According to Sergeant Isom, most of the program’svolunteers come from the 10th Medical Group, but moreare needed. The Rising 6 and Top 3 organizations areworking with their members to get volunteers for the 333-RIDE program.

Although this program is sponsored by the Rising 6,anyone can a volunteer, including officers, enlisted mem-bers, spouses or civilian volunteers.

Since its inception, 333-RIDE has taken more than50 calls and driven home more than 130 members.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Humanresources specialist Linda K. Stouffersaid when she visits college campuses,she tells students the DefenseDepartment is “the ‘employer ofchoice,’ and our job is to supportAmerica’s defense around the world.”

Ms. Stouffer, who works for theDOD civilian personnel managementservices defense applicant assistanceoffice, said DOD has jobs “from A toZ.”

“When you see a DOD sign at ajob fair, that doesn’t mean you have towear a uniform and join the military,”Ms. Stouffer told a large gathering ofuniversity presidents, administratorsand students at the DOD technicalassistance workshop at Alabama StateUniversity here Feb. 23. “DOD hasmore than 700,000 civilian jobsaround the globe.

“We try to encourage students towork for DOD as civilian employeesand to understand that if they want tojoin the military, supporting our

nation’s defense in uniform is the mostawesome job they could ever have,”she said. “But they could also supportour nation’s defense around the globein a civilian capacity.”

The office opened in 2003 as aresource for anyone who wanted to getmore information about DOD civilianjobs, Ms. Stouffer said.

“We have advisers available tohelp people in their job search process,to talk to them and explain informationon various job announcements,” shesaid. “We also connect them with otherrecruiters in DOD.”

Ms. Stouffer said her office comesunder the deputy assistant secretary ofdefense for civilian personnel policy.They look for events to spread theword about its existence.

“This office wanted people onstaff who could answer questions forstudents and anyone wanting informa-tion about DOD jobs,” Ms. Stouffersaid. “That way, they could pick up aphone and have a live person to talk to… or they could send us an e-mail, andthey would get an immediateresponse.”

Ms. Stouffer said advisers will dis-cuss the job search process; provideinformation about DOD vacancies,occupations and missions; assist withquestions, applications, forms and sta-tus of applications; explain DOD jobterminology; and provide a connectionbetween job seekers and recruiters.

She said it is helpful for studentsto know which states have the highestconcentration of federal civiliansworking in DOD.

“Our top 10 states are Virginia,California, Texas, Maryland, Georgia,Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington,Ohio and Oklahoma,” Ms. Stouffersaid. “So the message to students is,the more mobile you are and the morewilling you are to relocate to wherethat job is, the better opportunity youwill have.”

DOD has 6,000 off ices andinstallations in every state around thecountry and in 146 countries aroundthe world. DOD’s three militarydepartments and 16 defense agenciesrecruit on many college and universi-ty campuses. The office is the centralpoint for marketing DOD-wide

civilian employment opportunities,she said.

“Out of about 800 occupationswithin the federal government, you’llfind jobs in DOD in about 700 of thoseoccupations,” she said.

The most critical skill needs forDOD in the next two years are engi-neers, administration and programmanagement, education, security andprotection, accounting and budget,information technology and physicalsciences, according to a Partnershipfor Public Service study.

DOD components also offer manyintern, co-op and entry-level profes-sional development career programs,as well as support for graduate fel-lowships and scholarships in careerfields where there is high demand forwell-qualif ied candidates, Ms.Stouffer said.

She said that the internship pro-gram does not always mean just a sum-mer job.

“These are entry-level, full-timeprofessional jobs,” she said.

Job seekers can call (888) 363-4872.The TTY number is (703) 696-5436.

Despite struggling the last few weeks, the Falconhockey team will look for a reversal of fortunes on theIron Range of northern Minnesota.

The winner takes on the No. 1seeded Bemidji State Beavers, Saturday, at 7:35 CST.The loser is eliminated and their season is over. Thechampionship game of the sixth annual tournament isSunday at 7:05 p.m.

Air Force is winless in its last six games and just 2-9-1 since sweeping Army in mid-January. Last weekend,Bemidji State, the regular-season champions swept AirForce by identical 4-1 scores in a two-game CHA series,Friday-Saturday.

In the first game, Rob Sirianni scored two goalsto lead Bemidji State to a 4-1 win. Sirianni scored thefirst two goals of the game as the Beavers nevertrailed. His first goal came at the 10:05 mark asShane Holman won a face-off and Sirianni ripped aslapped shot past sophomore Peter Foster. His secondgoal of the game, and his 12th overall for the season,

came on the power play at 4:08 of the second period. Andrew Murray made a drop pass to Sirianni at the

faceoff dot and also screened Foster. Sirianni’s wristergave the Beavers a 2-0 lead. Two minutes later, sopho-more Andrew Ramsey cut the Beaver lead to one goalwith his ninth of the season. Ramsey won a faceoff andtook the puck to the net. His first shot was saved, butsophomore Brandon Merkosky kept the puck alive andRamsey put back the rebound. BSU clung to the 2-1lead until late in the third period when Air Force pulledits goaltender.

With 1:22 remaining, Foster was pulled from the netin favor of the extra attacker. However, with 56 secondsleft, Brendan Cook skated the puck into the neutral zoneand sent a wrister from the red line that found the cen-ter of the empty net.

With Foster back in the net, Jean-Guy Gervaisscored his 11th of the season with 21 seconds left. Theshots on goal were as even as the game was for 59 min-utes as BSU out-shot AFA, 26-25. Matt Climie made 24saves for BSU while Foster made 22 for the Falcons.The teams combined for just five penalties in the game.BSU was 1-for-2 on the power play while AFA was 0-for-3.

Bemidji State clinched the CHA Championshipwith a 4-1 win over Air Force in the final regular sea-son game Saturday. The Beavers never trailed in thegame as Myles Kuharski scored at the 5:14 mark ofthe first period. Jean-Guy Gervais fed Kuharski inthe neutral zone and the senior winger skated in

uncontested on Peter Foster. Less than three minutes later, the Falcons tied the

game on sophomore Brian Gineo’s ninth goal of the sea-son. Freshman Eric Ehn made a pass off the boards deepin his own end to sophomore Brian Reese. Reese fedGineo in the neutral zone and Gineo skated the puckdown the right wing. His slap shot beat Matt Climiehigh to tie the game at 1-1. From that point on, it was allBemidji State. BSU out-shot Air Force, 14-5, in the sec-ond period.

The Beavers scored two in the second and one in thethird. Gervais gave the Beavers the lead for good at the2:57 mark of the second on the power play. His center-ing pass from the boards deflected off of a Falcondefenseman’s stick and went through Foster’s legs.Three minutes later, Andrew Martens gave the Beaversa 3-1 lead.

With the teams skating four on four, Gervais took ashot that Foster saved, but Martens put back therebound. A sluggish third period was capped off byLuke Erickson’s goal at the 13:07 mark. Erickson’s 10thof the season was assisted by Rob Sirianni and BrendanCook. BSU out-shot Air Force, 28-19, in the game.

The Beavers were 1-for-5 on the power play whileAir Force was 0-for-4. Climie made 18 saves for BSUand improved to 4-0 against Air Force this season.Foster started for Air Force and played the first 30 min-utes, making 16 saves and allowing three goals.Freshman Ian Harper came on in relief and made eightsaves while allowing one goal in 30 minutes.
