The center has different types of carpet, tile, paint and molding. It also has doors and materials to build walls. "We have thousands of colors of paint to choose from," Zitzelberger said. "If we don't have the color you want, we have a machine where you can bring in the sample of the color from a piece of cloth, wall, etc., and we can make that exact color for you." Before the actual redesign or repair begins, there are a few steps that need to be taken. The first step is to submit a request through the facility manager and in return the facility manager will submit it to the self help center. The manager and project manager will come and make an initial inspection of the area to check for any environmental and safety hazards as well as take measurements. Once this inspection is complete, then the supplies can be picked up and the project can begin. During the project, there will be a mid-inspection and also a final inspection when the project has been completed. "The projects that units have accomplished have turned out really well," said Daren Bell, project manager of the 75th CES self help center. "There are units that have not just painted, but also have built walls, re-done carpet and have done minor repairs that made the office so much better for them." Approximately 250 self-help projects are ongoing at any time, and Zitzelberger said the center can help with many more. "With the tools and supplies we offer here, there is an infinite list of projects that could be done. It also gives a sense of pride and accomplishment to those units that have completed a project," Zitzelberger said.

Green thumbs bring rewards to families Boyer Hill's Yard of the Year, Yard of the Month showcase efforts BY CATHERINE MCNALLY Hilltop Times correspondent M any of us dream of having a perfectly manicured lawn, one that rivals even the most famous of golf courses, but in reality it comes down to the reality that we don't have the time to create such a wonderfully green masterpiece. Still, there are plenty of beautiful lawns to behold right here on base, and to reward the time and effort spent creating such gorgeous greens, Boyer Hill Military Hous-. ing holds a Yard of the Month as " well as a Yard of the Year contest. This year's Yard of the Year contest was held on Oct. 14 at the Boyer Hill main office, right next to the school playground. As each Yard of the Month winner arrived, Linda Mooney, a purchasing agent for Boyer Hill and one of the two people in charge of the Yard of the Month and Year program, instructed them to place a name card in the basket that the Yard of the Year winner would be drawn from., "We have 18 total Yard of the Month winners this year," Mooney said. Multiple winners, each from a different housing area, were selected each month. "We usually havemore, but due to the construction this year we weren't able to judge anyone from the 'E' area." This year's Yard of the Year winner was to receive $500, Mooney said. There are also gift cards for everyone from various companies around the area, she added. To decide which yard wins the Yard of the Month title, Mooney's co-worker, Mike GlajUser^heads,^^ to each housing area and judges yards on neatness, grass quality, and edging. They don't look for flowers or decorations, Mooney added. "It's just judged on neatness." For Tech. Sgt. Patrick Bergeron, a line officer in the 368th Recruiting Squadron, there was one lawncare name that helped keep his yard looking great year-round. , "Scotts," Bergeron stated. "And just keeping up with it," he added. For next year's contenders, Bergeron offered up this advice: "Edging is everything." As the last of the families sat down with their sandwiches and Halloween treats, Mark Pace, the co-president of Boyer Hill Military Housing, took the stage. "Thanks for taking such good care of your yards," Pace said. As the room quieted down, Pace held up the bucket of names as Glouser pulled the winner out. "Keith Kehle!" Pace announced. "No way!" shouted Kehle, a Staff Sergeant from the 75th Force Support Squadron, as he stood to receive his prize. His wife and two children cheered excitedly as they were awarded the $500 and Yard of the^eax title. _.,_, ^,iiWJ "It's great," Kehle said as he described being this year's winner. I would say it was well-deserved, but at the same time everyone else has helped so much, he added. When asked what inspired them to keep their yard looking so beautiful, Kehle's wife, Wendy, answered, "We enjoy doing our yard work because it's a reflection of who we are as a person," she said. In that case, these beautiful yards definitely reflect the beautiful people who make up the on-base housing community. Sltt health care provider.
