Fort Carson Soldiers, leaders, Families and friends celebrated the
official opening of the Fort Carson Resiliency Campus, May 3.
The four-building site provides resources for the entire Fort Carson
community to become physically, mentally and emotionally tough, said
Col. Robert F. McLaughlin, then garrison commander.
“Today’s ceremony focuses on the brick and mortar of the resiliency
campus, a celebration of two years of planning and building that brought
this together,” McLaughlin said. “Each building is special alone, but
together, the campus environment is powerful in so many ways.
“This place is the hallmark in helping to deliver programs designed
to build resilient Soldiers, Families, retirees and Department of the Army
civilians,” he said.
The ceremony celebrated the opening of three brand new facilities: the Ivy
Child Development Center, providing services for children from 6 weeks to 5
years of age; the Ironhorse Sports and Fitness Center, featuring two pools, a
sauna, steam room and two climbing walls; and the Mountain Post Behavioral
Health Clinic, offering counseling and support to active-duty Soldiers.

Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F.
Chandler III toured the “Home of the 4th
Infantry Division” during a three-day
visit May 2-4.
The senior enlisted leader for the
Army spent three days gathering feedback,
advising Soldiers and leaders on ways to
improve the Army and its programs, and
stressing the importance of character,
commitment and competence.
“I want the Soldiers of Fort Carson
to know that this is a great place, and
(Army leadership is) constantly
reminded of what they do for us every
day,” Chandler said during his first visit
to Fort Carson since being appointed
the 14th sergeant major of the Army.
“We are grateful for their service and
the service of their Families.”
Chandler toured units, held a town
hall meeting addressing topics from
hazing to troop drawdown, and spoke
one-on-one with Fort Carson Soldiers
about their personal career paths.

Combatting sexual assault
Chiefs issue strategic direction
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
Despite years of concerted effort, the Joint
Chiefs of Staff and the commandant of the Coast
Guard are dissatisfied with progress made in reducing
sexual assault in the military, and have released
strategic direction to increase the emphasis on
combating the crime.
The chiefs released a “32-star” letter to
commanders and leaders, titled “Strategic Direction
to the Joint Force on Sexual Assault Prevention and
Response.” In the past two years, servicemembers
have reported 6,350 cases of sexual assault.
In what is mandatory reading for all commanders
and leaders, the letter says the mission is to reduce
and ultimately eliminate incidences of sexual assault,
and establish an environment of mutual respect and
trust, and a work place where the act is not tolerated.
Sexual assault is a crime that erodes the bonds of
trust essential for military units to succeed and puts
all members of the military team at risk. The chiefs
stressed that prevention and response must be
emphasized in all aspects of planning, training and
mission execution — requiring actual leadership, not
just a “checking-the-box” mentality.
The chiefs have been working diligently for
months on the strategic direction, officials said.
“Sexual assaults endanger our own, violate our
professional culture and core values, erode readiness
and team cohesion and violate the sacred trust and
faith of those who serve and whom we serve,” the
document’s introduction says.
“As military professionals we must fully
understand the destructive nature of these acts, lead
our focused efforts to prevent them, and promote
positive command climates and environments
that reinforce mutual respect, trust and
confidence,” the letter reads.
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey,
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff; Navy Adm. James A.
Winnefeld, the vice chairman;
Gen. Ray Odierno, Army
chief of staff; Adm. Jonathan
W. Greenert, chief of naval
operations; Gen. Norton A.
Schwartz, Air Force chief of
staff; Gen. James F. Amos,
commandant of the Marine
Corps; Air Force Gen. Craig R.
McKinley, chief of the National
Guard Bureau; and Adm. Robert
Papp Jr., commandant of the
Coast Guard, signed the letter.
Officials said they wrote the
guidance to synchronize efforts to combat
sexual assault.
“Commanders and leaders must personally read,
understand and implement this strategy,” the chiefs
wrote. “We are fully committed to supporting your
efforts to put this strategic direction into action and
BOBBY BROWN
operationalize (sexual assault prevention and response)
within your commands across the joint force.”
Evidence clearly shows gaps remain between
the precepts of the Defense Department Sexual
Assault Prevention and Response Program and full
implementation at all levels of command. The
strategic direction calls on commanders
to close these gaps, “by exercising the
full measure of their authorities,
options and resources.”
The direction looks to
“imbue a culture and cultivate
a climate and environment
that is resilient to the risks
and vulnerabilities associated with sexual assault,”
the document says.
Servicemembers need
to understand that sexual
assault is a crime under the
Uniform Code of Military
Justice. Four distinct offenses —
rape, sexual assault, aggravated
sexual contact and abusive sexual
contact — are contained in Article
120. These and two other offenses —
forcible sodomy and attempts to commit these
offenses — are sexual assault crimes within DOD’s
Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program.

Chiefs
from Page 5
Commanders need to work with military
lawyers to understand the legal ramifications of
these crimes, the chiefs wrote, and need to
communicate them to members of their units.
The letter emphasizes that prevention always is
better than prosecution. “Commanders must train
servicemembers to ensure they understand, for
example, that consumption of alcohol can impair
the judgment of both parties and the consequences
of an alcohol-related sex crime can have a significant
and long-lasting impact on the victim, offender,
unit cohesion and ultimately the readiness of the
joint force,” the chiefs wrote.
The chiefs look to instill this call to action at all
levels of professional military education, from
recruits entering the service to general and flag
officers, officials said.
The chiefs set out five lines of effort: prevention,
investigation, accountability, advocacy and
assessment. The lines of effort will be governed by
overarching tenets — leadership, communication,
culture, integration and resourcing — that will
guide how the lines of effort will be implemented.
Sexual assault in the military is a problem that
all servicemembers must face, the chiefs said.
The top uniformed leaders have set goals for
themselves, too, and spelled out their tasks in
the strategic direction.
The chiefs will engage commanders, leaders
and service communities worldwide to promote
the health and discipline of the force. They will
work with the combatant commanders to identify
additional requirements that may be needed and
examine how to improve sexual assault prevention
in forward-deployed locations.
Also, the chiefs will work closely with the
Office of the Secretary of Defense to resource
the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response
Program and will establish a quarterly executive
council “dedicated to a candid and enduring
dialogue designed to assess the effectiveness of
operationalizing (Sexual Assault Prevention and
Response) into commands across the joint force.”

medical (experience), it’s not in infant

The three-hour workshop educated
new fathers on how to implement a few
parenting techniques, in addition to
sharing other valuable information
concerning raising a child.
“Iron” Brigade Soldiers spent a
day training — not war fighting,
adorned in combat gear, covered in
sweat and dirt — but training of an
entirely different nature, scented with
baby powder and baby blankets on
their shoulders, preparing simply to
be fathers.

Throughout
the
workshop,
Soldiers learned a series of skills,
ranging from strengthening their
relationships with their spouses to
techniques of calming an upset infant
and changing a diaper.
The class provided the basic
skills necessary to a new father, said
Sgt. John Mitchum, Company A, 1st
Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment.
“It was a big help,” said Mitchum,
who had never changed a diaper
before attending Daddy Boot Camp.
“I’d definitely recommend it.”
The Daddy Boot Camp workshop
is held the first Tuesday of each month
at the Fort Carson ACS building.
Soldiers interested in attending
the workshop can contact Ken
Robinson, Family Advocacy Program
coordinator, at 524-1991 or 719546-4590, or by email at warren.k.

Competition
brings out
warrior spirit
Story and photo by
Pfc. Andrew Ingram
Public Affairs Office
Staff Sgt. Krisell Creager-Lumpkins
attended the 2011 Warrior Games to
cheer for a friend competing in one of
the Olympic-style swimming events.
Then a recent addition to the Fort
Carson Warrior Transition Battalion,
Creager-Lumpkins said watching her
friend and the other wounded servicemembers and veterans competing against
one another, pushing themselves and each
other to the utmost of their physical
limits, inspired her to overcome her
own injuries.
“I will be in the Warrior Games next
year,” she told her first sergeant during
the 2011 event held at the U.S. Olympic
Training Center in Colorado Springs.
“I knew my life would never be the
same, but I still wanted it to be about
something, even if that was just my
own goals and overcoming my personal
tribulations,” she said.
Creager-Lumpkins spent the next
year in intensive training, strengthening
her body and honing her fine motor
skills in anticipation for the Warrior
Games Qualifiers in early 2012.
“When I started, the Warrior Games
were almost like a pipe dream, but it
motivated me to get better, to try to get
back to the person I was before,” she said.
The Army, Navy and Coast Guard,
Air Force and Marine teams each fielded
50 wounded warriors to compete in the
games. To earn the honor of representing
their service, hopeful competitors must
undergo rigorous selection clinics
and extensive physical evaluations to
determine their skills and capabilities.
Fifteen Fort Carson
WTB Soldiers tried out for
the Army team. Only CreagerLumpkins made the cut.
“The process has been
incredibly exciting,” CreagerLumpkins said. “Just trying
out, giving myself something
to work toward, and seeing the
small payoffs and improvements every
day was the best part for me.”
Her determination to heal and
improve set an example for other
Soldiers recovering from injury, said
1st Sgt. Barry White, senior enlisted
leader, Company A, Fort Carson WTB.
“It is nice to see a Soldier in the
WTB pushing herself as hard as Staff
Sgt. Creager-Lumpkins,” White said.
“After an injury, many people will set
limits on themselves. She is pushing
past those limits and showing a lot
of character.”
In addition to training for the
Warrior Games, Creager-Lumpkins
also serves as an assistant platoon
sergeant and mentor for many of the
Soldiers in her company, said Capt.
Regina Stephan, commander, Company
A, Fort Carson WTB.
“She is the epitome of the battalion’s
slogan, ‘Can Do,’” said Stephan. “She
has challenged herself and is the model
for everyone around her to emulate. She
can do it all.”
Creager-Lumpkins said the support
and encouragement provided by her
leaders and peers proved instrumental
in her success.
“I’m not the kind of person that
needs pats on the back most of the
time, but the Soldiers in this unit know
when I need that pat,” she said. “They
know when to crack a joke and make

Staff Sgt. Krisell Creager-Lumpkins, Company A,
Fort Carson Warrior Transition Battalion, hurls a
shot put during the 2012 Warrior Games at the
U.S. Air Force Academy, May 5. She finished third
in the five-event Ultimate Warrior Competition.
me smile, and that has helped me more
than they could know.”
In addition to competing in
individual events, Creager-Lumpkins
represented the Army in the Ultimate
Warrior Competition, which ranked
athletes based on their finish in the
cycling, shooting, swimming and
track and field events.
Throughout the week of the games,
Creager-Lumpkins said she was
amazed by the attitude projected by
competitors from every team.
“It sounds cheesy, but I was really
impressed by the camaraderie shared
by all of the competitors,” she said.
“Even though the competition was stiff,
we really wanted everyone to do well.”
By placing third in the 100-meter
dash, fourth in the air rifle marksmanship
and shot put competitions, fifth in the
10-kilometer cycling event, and sixth in
the 50-meter freestyle swimming
event, Creager-Lumpkins clawed her
way into third place in the Ultimate
Warrior Competition.
Despite this achievement, she said
her competitive nature refuses to allow
her to be satisfied with the outcome of
the 2012 Warrior Games.
“I will always wish I could have
done more, but I know that given the
circumstances, and how far I have come
this year, this was the best I could have
done,” she said. “For a lot of people,
it was about medals, but it wasn’t
about that for me. It was about being
physically, mentally and emotionally
able to compete in the Warrior Games,
and represent the Army; and I am
happy and proud of that.”
With the experience of one Warrior
Games under her belt, CreagerLumpkins said she is motivated to take
the competition to a higher level in the
2013 Warrior Games.
“I started training yesterday,” she
said, two days after her final event.
“I’m better prepared now; I know
where my competition lies.”
“My goal now is to get the gold
medal in every one of my events,” she
said. “I can’t wait until I can compete
again and again and again.”
The example set by the Warrior
Games athletes should inspire other
wounded warriors to set goals for
themselves, Creager-Lumpkins said.
“If you are hurt physically, it can
make you feel mentally like you are
less of a Soldier,” she said. “Adaptive
sports, like those we compete in during
the Warrior Games, provide a way for
these individuals to see they are still
good Soldiers.
“There is nothing more honorable
than representing your country,” she said.
“Whether you are doing it on the battlefield, or you’re doing it in the Warrior
Games, the principle is still the same.”

Mounted Color Guard to handle Fort
Carson’s first mule Soldiers John, left,
and Henry. Fort Carson has not had mules
since 1971, the pair will eventually pull an
1878 Army escort wagon in ceremonies
as part of the mounted color guard.

Mules
join
ranks
By Andrea Sutherland
Mountaineer staff
Anderson asked Farnsworth if the
mounted color guard could continue
horsemanship training for WTB Soldiers
after their eight-week session with the
riding center.
“The general asked, ‘Can we add to
this?’ and I said, ‘Yes, sir. We can,’”
Farnsworth said.
Farnsworth worked with community
partners to secure the mules, which will
be trained by both mounted color guard
members as well as Soldiers in the WTB.
“It gives our WTB Soldiers a chance
to take off the uniform, put on a pair of
Wranglers, do some ranch work and learn
how to work with these animals,” he said.
The mules will also serve in various
ceremonies and parades, once they’ve
had some training.
“We need to work on ground manners,”
Farnsworth said. “They’re more stubborn
than a horse.”
Farnsworth said John and Henry
must complete 30 “missions,” training
on Turkey Creek Ranch and around
Fort Carson, before participating
in ceremonies.
“We need to desensitize them,”
he said. “We need to get them used to
flags, gunfire and Soldiers.”
Once trainers are confident with John
and Henry, the pair will be responsible
for pulling a refurbished 1878 original
Army escort wagon.
“It’s a neat piece of history,”
Farnsworth said. “The cavalry units used
these wagons to escort settlers during
the western expansion. … It would
be the up-armored Humvee of its day.”
Farnsworth said the wagon has its
original iron axles and frame.
According to Farnsworth, Soldiers from
the WTB will work with the wagon team.
“The (WTB) Soldiers, they’ll
benefit wonderfully,” Stevenson said.
“The Soldiers will be able to get out
of the barracks and participate and
experience something new.”
John and Henry stood on Founders
Field May 3 taking in their new
surroundings. Off the trailer from a
long road trip from Fort Riley, Kan., the
black horse mules were more interested
in nibbling the grass than listening to
their new trainers, Soldiers from the
4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson
Mounted Color Guard.
Despite their restlessness, Spc. Joel
Stevenson approached, inching his way
across the grass with his walker until he
reached Henry. Quietly, the two bonded.
“I was born and raised around horses
and mules,” said Stevenson, Warrior
Transition Battalion. “I had a drive team
and was involved in the 4-H in high school.”
Stevenson was one of the first
Soldiers to greet Fort Carson’s first mule
team in more than 40 years.
The mounted color guard acquired
the mules with the help of several
community organizations,
including the Pikes Peak or
Bust Rodeo, the Colorado 30
Group, the Rocky Mountain
Wagon Masters and the Pikes
Peak Range Riders.
“Fort Carson has a rich
history with mule teams,” said
Bill Tutt, Fort Carson Good
Neighbor and member of the
Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo and
Colorado 30 Group. “It’s great
for the community.”
Tutt, along with Fort Carson
Good Neighbor Don Addy,
helped acquire the mule team.
Master Sgt. Shawn
Farnsworth, 4th Inf. Div. and
Fort Carson Mounted Color
Guard, said plans for adding a
mule team began in November
when Maj. Gen. Joseph Anderson,
commanding general, 4th
Spc. Joel Stevenson, Warrior Transition Battalion, pets Henry, a black horse mule, after his arrival to Fort

New chef inspires change
Story and photo by

Mountaineer staff
Since arriving at Fort Carson April 30,
Stephen Forsyth has reorganized and cleaned the
kitchen at the Elkhorn Conference Center and
plans to revamp the catering and Ivy Pub menus.
“I’m super excited to be here,” Forsyth said.
“I think we’re capable of a lot more than people
give us credit.”
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of
America, Forsyth said he plans to bring his
years of knowledge and training to help bolster
the reputation of the Elkhorn.
“It’s about consistency of food quality and
higher food quality,” he said. “They brought
me in for stability and expertise.”
Forsyth came to Fort Carson after working
as a nonappropriated funds employee at Fort
Bliss, Texas. Prior to that position, Forsyth trained
under three certified master chefs.
“Stephen was hired as part of our revitalization
plan,” said Michael O’Donnell, division chief,
Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and
Recreation. “This gives our catering program
“Our goal is to
position ourselves to
be the first choice.”
— Michael O’Donnell
a boost through his expertise.”
O’Donnell said improving the catering
and Ivy Pub menus was a top priority for
DFMWR to attract more business on post.
“Our goal is to position ourselves to be
the first choice,” O’Donnell said. “We are
improving our product at value pricing.”
In addition to lower, competitive prices,
patrons of the Elkhorn will help fund
programs across post just by having lunch or
booking an event.
“Every dollar spent at the Elkhorn will
be reinvested into Fort Carson Soldier and
Family programs,” O’Donnell said.
In order to be successful, O’Donnell and
Forsyth know they will have to make changes.
Forsyth said that he plans to make contact
with local bakers and farmers markets to
bring fresh, healthy food to the community.
“We’re not going to buy any pre-made
entrée items anymore,” he said.
Although his background is primarily in
American, Italian and French cuisine, Forsyth
will rely on his Irish roots to help improve
the Ivy Pub menu.
“My grandmother was 100-percent
Irish. She taught me a lot about Irish cooking,”
he said.
Forsyth said he is ready for the challenges
that are ahead, including Sunday’s Mother’s
Day Brunch and the June 16 Army Ball,
which will be the first tests of the Elkhorn’s
catering services since his arrival.
“We already have a very friendly,
professional staff,” he said. “(We) will take
the Elkhorn to the next level.”
Stephen Forsyth preps for the lunchtime rush Monday at the
Elkhorn Conference Center. Forsyth was hired as the new manager
food service specialist and hopes to revitalize the catering and
Ivy Pub menus to attract more community members.

Jeanne Chandler visits FRG leaders
By Staff Sgt. Christopher Jelle
3rd Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs
Office, 4th Infantry Division
Jeanne Chandler, wife of Sgt. Maj; of the Army
Raymond F. Chandler III, met with unit Family
readiness group leaders throughout the 4th Infantry
Division, April 2-3.
During a meeting with
the FRG leaders of 3rd
Brigade Combat Team,
4th Infantry Division,
Army spouses discussed
their unit’s Family support
programs and addressed
challenges to the spouse
of the Army’s top senior
enlisted leader.
“We appreciate what
she is doing by coming
down to the company
level to see what we’re
doing on the frontlines of
FRG and how that can be taken up to higher
levels, and make big changes in the Army,” said
Kellie Matack, FRG leader for Headquarters
and Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 8th
Infantry Regiment, 3rd BCT.
The topics of discussion ranged from the life
of a typical military Family to child care services,
housing situations, installation services and FRG
programs. The spouses shared their thoughts on
what they considered the best benefits and programs
available to Fort Carson Soldiers and Families,
and how those thoughts and ideas could be shared
with other military installations.
“I think (the visit) states that they’re
interested in hearing the whole Army,” said
Wendy Packard, FRG leader for Company A,
3rd Special Troops Battalion, 3rd BCT. “No
matter where you are in the Army ... they want
to know what is going on throughout the
(service) and not just at headquarters.”
Packard said it
means a lot to her, as
a newly-appointed
FRG leader, to have the
Army’s top leadership
personally visit with
units and their Families.
“It lets me know
that we’re not just out
here by ourselves, and
that they’re looking
out for us and want
to take care of us,”
said Packard.
— Jeanne Chandler
Jeanne Chandler
said she likes to
meet with the FRG leaders at the company
level because they are the ones who can best
comment on how things are going.
“They are the ones who are in the fray; they
have endured multiple deployments, and they are
the conduit of information to the spouses,” she said.
Spouse participation in the FRG programs
cultivates Army communities that support the
needs of Soldiers and their Families, Jeanne
Chandler said.
Jeanne Chandler said she wants to personally
thank all of the spouses who serve as FRG leaders,
calling them “true American heroes.”
“(FRG leaders) have
endured multiple
deployments, and
they are the conduit
of information to
the spouses.”

May is National Stroke Awareness Month
May
Net zero water
• Water lawns and plants in the
early morning or late evening
when the temperature is
lower. This will prevent
evaporation and thus require
less water.
• Have leaky faucets and spouts
repaired immediately. A small
leak that fills a coffee cup
in 10 minutes wastes 3,280
gallons of water per year.
• Water use can be reduced
indoors as well as outdoors
by taking shorter showers,
washing full loads of dishes
and clothes, repairing leaky
faucets and not using the
toilet as a wastebasket.
• Insulate your water heater
and pipes. You’ll use less

High blood pressure
can lead to stroke
Commentary by
Shari Lopatin
TriWest Healthcare Alliance
the National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute. It can also
lead to a stroke.
Blood pressure tends to rise
with age. However, other causes
may include obesity, chronic
kidney disease, thyroid disease,
sleep apnea or certain asthma
and cold-relief medications.
Unfortunately, high blood
pressure usually has no
symptoms, according to the
NHLBI. Occasionally, it may
cause headaches. Many people
have high blood pressure for
years and don’t even know it.
The best ways to prevent
high blood pressure from
escalating are to:
• maintain a healthy weight
One in every three U.S.
adults has suffered from high
blood pressure, a major risk
factor for stroke — the third
leading cause of death in the U.S.
The relationship between
stroke and high blood pressure
has been well-documented.
“Managing high blood pressure
is the most important thing
you can do to lessen your risk
for stroke,” according to the
American Stroke Association.
As the heart pumps blood
through the body, it also pushes
blood against the body’s arteries.
The force of this push is
“blood pressure.”
However, if this pressure
rises too much — and stays
high — it can damage the heart,
blood vessels, kidneys and other
parts of the body, according to
• exercise regularly
• manage stress effectively
• limit the amount of salt
and alcohol consumption
• avoid cigarette smoke
• check blood pressure
regularly
According to the American
Stroke Association, a stroke
happens when a blood vessel
to the brain is either blocked
by a blood clot or completely
bursts. This prevents oxygen
from reaching the brain, causing
the affected part to die.
High blood pressure is
a major risk factor for stroke
because it damages arteries.
When arteries are damaged,
they clog or burst more easily.

Thousands
By Andrea Sutherland
Mountaineer staff
Competitors climb ropes Saturday before moving onto the
next obstacle during the Spartan Race, held at Ironhorse Park.
After battling mud crawls,
wall climbs and the fire leap,
thousands of ordinary racers earned
the title, “Spartan.”
“I signed up because I wanted
to prove a point,” said Jennifer
Kosiavelon, Army spouse.
Kosiavelon joined three friends for
Saturday’s Colorado Military Sprint
Spartan Race held in Ironhorse Park.
The two-day event drew 4,978 mud
enthusiasts from several states, including
Colorado, Wyoming and Texas, as
well as thousands of spectators.
More than 600 children competed
in the Spartan Kids Race, which
featured a one-mile course with
several smaller-scale obstacles.
Dressed in pink T-shirts and
tutus, Kosiavelon’s team members
said they were nervous.
“We didn’t really prepare,” she
said. “I did the ‘Insanity’ workout
videos, but that was it.”
Kosiavelon competed in the
second heat of Saturday’s Military
Sprint, but had to drop out of the
race due to an injury on the first
obstacle — trench hurdles.
“This course is challenging,”
said Sgt. 1st Class Melvin Parsons,
52nd Engineer Battalion.
Parsons, along with other Soldiers
from the 52nd Eng. Bn., helped build
the course, which featured numerous
mud pits and ditches.
“I’ve seen the course,” he said.
“I built it. I don’t want to run it.”
Spartan races began in 2005 and are
typically divided into three categories
— Spartan Sprint, three miles with 15
or more obstacles; the Super Spartan,
eight miles with 20 or more obstacles;
and Spartan Beast, 13 miles with 25
or more obstacles.
The Colorado Military Sprint
Spartan Race was the first of its kind.
“We made Spartan history with this
race,” said Coleen McManus, Military
Series coordinator for the Spartan Race.
McManus said the weekend’s
race was the first race in the Military
Series put on by Spartan Race, Inc.
“It had the most obstacles of
any of our races,” she said. “People
are calling it ‘a beast of a sprint.’”
The 4.7-mile course at Ironhorse
Park featured 30 obstacles, including
a tire flip, rope climb and 125-yard
mud crawl under barbed wire with
training rifles.
“It was the longest crawl we’ve
ever had,” McManus said.
Competitors attested to the
difficulty of the course.
Alex Stanislawski of Arvada,
finished ninth overall in Saturday’s
“Elite” heat. Stanislawski said he had
competed in other obstacle courses,

The “Iron Matrons” team runs
towards the final obstacle, the
gantlet, where volunteers pummel
the racers with pugil sticks in an
attempt to block the path to the
exit at the Spartan Race, Saturday.

including Tough Mudder and the
Warrior Dash, but the Spartan Race
was especially demanding.
“It was the hardest one I’ve done,”
he said. “I was watching videos online
and I figured I would go for it.”
First-place finisher Hobie Call said
the early obstacles — the rucksack
carry and barbed wire crawl — drained
his energy.
“I was pushing a lot harder than
I usually do,” said Call, who has
competed in 20 Spartan races. “This
was a physically tough race.”
Call, who has won every Spartan
race in which he has competed, was
almost overtaken by second-place
finisher Tyson Tel.
“It all came down to the last
couple (of) obstacles,” he said. “I
missed the spear throw. I never miss the
spear throw. It came down to burpees.”
To add an extra challenge to the
course, competitors that did not
complete an obstacle on the first
attempt had to complete 30 burpees —
an exercise combining a pushup and
jump — before moving on to the
next phase of the course.
Even though the event featured
military specialties, like the weaver,
rucksack march and grenade toss,
Soldiers still felt the burn.
“It was rough,” said Pfc. Josh Perez,
4th Squadron, 10th Cavalry Regiment,
3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry
Division. “The hardest part was taking
the rucksacks to the top of the hill.”
Perez said his squadron wanted
to do an event to unify the troops.
“Once you get into groups it was
good,” he said. “I would do it again.”

Students have day in court
Ninety eighth-grade U.S. history students
participated in this year’s Law Day at the
Martinez Courthouse on Fort Carson.
“I hope that my schoolchildren recognize that
they are citizens and they play a part in the law,
from top to bottom, and they have a responsibility
to participate in our government,” said Teri
Norman, Carson Middle School history teacher.
The students kept the counsel of four busy
fielding questions about the various branches
of government and the differences in military
and civilian courts and laws.
“I thought it was pretty interesting and
there were some good questions … it got
me interested to learn more about laws and
crime so that I am more educated in the
future,” said Griffin Eiser, student.

group of Carson Middle School students during Law Day at the
Martinez Courthouse on Fort Carson May 2.
Lawyers from the Fort Carson Staff Judge
Advocate office spent the day May 2 educating
Carson Middle School students about the
different types of law and how they can play a
role in the legal system.
Law Day was started by President Dwight
D. Eisenhower in 1958; this year’s theme is
“No Courts, No Justice, No Freedom.”
“We hoped to inspire the children to have an
awareness and passion for the judicial system
and maybe inspire a future attorney or some
participation in the law and also educate them
about why this is important,” said Capt. Paula
Becker, administrative law attorney.

By Sgt. Khori Johnson
4th Infantry Division Public Affairs
The sound of “Ivy” Division cannon fire captivated
the cheering fans surrounding Security Service Field,
marking the opening ceremony of the Sky Sox Fort
Carson Appreciation Night, May 4.
The Triple-A affiliate of the Colorado Rockies
provide free tickets to servicemembers and their Families
for the annual event, said Michael Hobson, assistant
general manager of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox.
This year, the organization provided about 15,000
ticket vouchers to Fort Carson, leading to a packed
house at the ballpark, Hobson said.
“Our military is such a big part of what our city is
all about and what our country is all about,” he said.
“We try to give our thanks to our men and women in
uniform and their Families every chance we get. We
wish we could do more, but the least we could do is
offer a fun night at the ballpark.”
Maj. Gen. Joseph Anderson, commanding general,
4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson, threw out the
ceremonial first pitch. Soldiers with 3rd Battalion, 29th
Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 4th
Inf. Div., presented the nation’s colors during the national
anthem, rendering a 21-gun salute in honor of the nation.
“We support many things in town,” said Anderson.
“This is just one more (way) we try to show our
appreciation for what the community does for us.”
Watching the game with his wife and 6-year-old
son from the Sky Box Suites located behind home plate,
Spc. Christopher Mayhew, motor transport operator,
Headquarters Support Company, Headquarters and
Headquarters Battalion, 4th Inf. Div., said the opening
ceremony was the best he has seen to date.
The 3rd BCT color guard and salute battery, tasked
to support the event, conducted multiple rehearsals to
ensure the opening ceremony was a success.
“We’ve been preparing for this specific event for
about two weeks. We even got about an hour of practice
on the field before the game started,” said Staff Sgt.
William McLaurin, a gunnery noncommissioned
officer and color guard member with Battery A, 3rd
Bn., 29th FA Reg. “Everybody did a really good job.”
While Soldiers, their Families and the Colorado
Springs community enjoyed the beginning of the Sky Sox
game, a few Soldiers of Distribution Platoon, Battery G,
3rd Bn., 29th FA Reg., continued to work diligently behind
the scenes, tucked behind the outfield wall of Security
Service Field, packing and loading the cannons, along with
other various equipment, for transport back to Fort Carson.
“Basically, we provide support by transporting all
of the ammo, the cannons and everything else for the
line,” said Staff Sgt. Jose Martinez, a motor transport
operator with Battery G.
While unseen by those attending the game, the platoon
was glad to show its support for the event, said Martinez.
“It’s nice to give something back to the community
and have them recognize us (for what we do),” he said.
“It was pretty cool.”
The Colorado Springs Sky Sox fell to the Fresno
Grizzlies, who after trailing 6-5, took a two-run lead
in the top of the ninth inning, which would prove the
difference in the game.
“I had my boys with me, who are 2 and 4, and it was
their first baseball game. I don’t know if they were so
much watching the game, but they had fun running around
the stands and playing,” said Maj. Matthew Clark, division
battle major with Company A, HHBN, 4th Inf. Div.
The event concluded with a fireworks show.
“My Family had a good time,” said Clark.
“It’s a good feeling to know that the Sky Sox would
do something like that … do something for Soldiers
and show them that they care about what they do and
see it as something of value and importance.”

Ed center presents college money seminar
Education center
Between tuition hikes and unease
about student loan rates, many people
may be concerned about their ability
to afford higher education.
With this in mind, the Fort Carson
education center is hosting an
Educating Cents seminar, designed
to familiarize students and families
with the program that rewards
students with points toward
scholarships, Monday and May 21
from 6-7:30 p.m. in room 202C of
the education center, building 1117.
Designed by CollegeInvest, a
nonprofit division of the Colorado
Department of Higher Education,
Education Cents provides financial
planning tools and courses focused
on saving and planning for college.
“(The program is designed) to
teach financial literacy to high school
and college-bound students,” said
Michael Reyes, military outreach
coordinator for University of
Colorado, Colorado Springs at the
Fort Carson education center and
Education Cents instructor.
By enrolling in the program and
working through their free courses,
enrollees can earn “points” for scholarship money. This money is accrued
in a 529 college savings account
sponsored by the state of Colorado.
“The best part is, the more classes
you do, the more points you earn
toward scholarships,” said Reyes.
The seminars are the first course
in the Education Cents curriculum.
By attending this program, students
and families will learn how to enroll
as well as begin to earn points toward
scholarships in their 529 account.
According to the National Center
for Education Statistics, the average
cost of a four-year degree from a
public school is $76,000.

Ten teens and three adults with
Fort Carson Youth Ministries participated
in “The Big Day of Serving” mission
event in Denver April 28.
Representing the Religious Support
Office and Fort Carson, the post
members were among 410 people
who joined members of the Colorado
Rockies and Denver City Council and
various sponsoring agencies to work
beautification projects in a 2-square-mile
area of the Westwood neighborhood.
Groups had various projects
including creating community gardens,
painting and planting trees. The Fort
Carson group painted over graffiti and
cleaned alleys containing discarded
furniture and trash.
“The kids worked hard and
understood that mission for the day
was a Gospel-centered one of caring
for and building up the neighbor,” said
Chap. (Maj.) Glenn Palmer.
The workday began with a kickoff
event at 8:30 a.m. and ended with a
rally at 4 p.m.
“It was an amazing way to serve
the Denver community with outreach
ministry,” said Spc. Randy Mancell,
Office of the Staff Judge Advocate, who
served as one of the adult chaperones.
“To be able to represent Fort Carson
and the entire chain of command
was very rewarding.”
The Big Day of Serving brought
together youth groups from across
Colorado, and as far away as Nebraska
and Oklahoma. Fort Carson Youth
Ministries was part of a new movement
of Christian teens across the country
uniting to show what it means to be the
hands and feet of Jesus, Palmer said.

Story and photos by
Nel Lampe
Mountaineer staff
A popular tourist attraction
in Colorado is the Royal Gorge
Bridge and Park near Cañon
City. One of the world’s highest
suspension bridges, active-duty
and retired military members and
their Families can visit the bridge
and park for half price during
May, Military Appreciation
Month. The regular admission
is $26 for adults and $20 for
children ages 4-11.
The Royal Gorge is a deep
chasm that was created by the
Arkansas River during a threemillion year period. The bridge
is more than 1,000 feet above
the floor of the deep chasm. The
gorge itself is spectacular, with
the railroad track running
alongside the Arkansas River. But
people are there to see the bridge.
The U.S. Government gave
the Royal Gorge property to
Cañon City. City leaders thought
if there was a bridge across the
gorge, it might draw tourists. And
it did. Since 1929, more than 25
million people from across the
nation and many foreign countries
have visited the bridge.
Construction of the bridge
was a big project. A Texas bridge
construction company hired 80
local workers and completed the
job in five months. They used
1,000 tons of steel and 300 tons
of No. 9 galvanized wire. The
bridge was anchored to granite
walls, using cables and 150-foot
towers. The bridge is 1,270
feet long, 18 feet wide and can
support more than 2 million
pounds. Costing about $35,000,
if built today, it would cost
about $20 million.
Once arriving at the park,
visitors must choose a method
for getting across the bridge.
There are three ways to cross:
drive the car across the bridge,
take the free trolley driven by a
park employee or walk over the
bridge. Anyone who chooses to
drive across the bridge should
inform the ticket seller, who will
assist in opening a gate for the car
to enter. A lot of people choose to
walk over the bridge, and cross
holding to the edge of the bridge.
Anyone afraid of heights shouldn’t
look down — the river is 1,053
feet below. Yes, the bridge sways,
especially in the wind. And
when cars drive over the bridge,
the planks in the bridge’s floor
clatter — all 1,270 of them.
Anyone who chooses not to
cross the bridge can take one of
the world’s longest single-span
aerial tramways across the chasm,
which is included in admission.
It leaves from the Visitor Center
and carries passengers to the North
Rim, 35 passengers at a time.
The Incline Railway was the
first ride added to the park, built
by the original bridge construction
company. The tracks were built
into a 45-degree angle crack in
the granite. A ride on the Incline
Railway, one of the steepest in the
world, is included in admission.
Visitors take one of the trains down
the 1,500-feet track. Two trains
run at the same time, one going
up and the other going down,
passing within inches at midway.
Passengers take the fiveminute ride to the end of the
line, take a look at the river and
tracks then return to the top.
Once on the South Rim,
attractions to visit include the
Plaza Theater, which shows a film
about the bridge construction
and the railroad wars of 1877,
in which the D&RG competed
with the Santa Fe Railway to be
the first train through the gorge.
There’s also a western
wildlife park with bighorn sheep,
bison and elk. There’s a petting
zoo and burro rides for children
48 inches high and under.
On weekends through
May and full time beginning
Memorial Day weekend,
a Mountain Man Trading Post
has re-enactors demonstrate the
33
life of mountain men in the early 1800s. They also
demonstrate their black powder rifles.
Mule trail rides offer a half-hour ride ($25) for
riders older than 6. Mule rides can be arranged
for two, three or four hours for additional cost.
For a fee, visitors can ride the Skycoaster — one
of 87 in the world. The Royal Gorge Bridge and Park
Skycoaster has been named the scariest sky coaster in
the world by the manufacturer. The price to ride is $25
for one rider, $45 for two and $60 for three. Riders
are harnessed in, pulled to the top of a 100-foot tower,
then free fall, reaching 40 mph before swinging over
the gorge and river below.
The Skycoaster opened in 2003, averages about
20,000 riders a year and has a perfect safety record.
Once visitors have seen the sights and
attractions on the South Rim, they usually return
to the North Rim via the bridge or tramway, to explore
the options on that side. Attractions for children and
families on the North Rim include the Incline Railway,
The Incline Railway runs on 45-degree angle tracks and is one of the steepest in

climbing apparatus, a water clock
and the Visitor Center, where the
tram docks.
New this year is the
Soaring Eagle Zip Line, which
is expected to be operational
soon. Call ahead to see if
it is operational if interested
in the zip line. Located on
the North Rim, the zip line
costs $25 for one rider,
$45 for two riders, $60
for three riders and $80
for four riders.
There is also a High
Altitude Ride Package, which
includes admission to the
bridge and park as well as a
ride on the Skycoaster and
Soaring Eagle Zip Line. That
price is $60 per person.
The Visitor Center has
food and soft drinks and a
large selection of T-shirts,
caps, souvenirs and novelty
items. The tramway dock
is at the back of the
Visitor Center.
Food stands are on both
sides of the bridge and are
open on weekends and daily
after Memorial Day. Food
items sold include pizza,

After free falling from the 100-foot tower, at up to 40 mph, riders swing like a pendulum
over the Royal Gorge and the Arkansas River until slowing enough to be snagged by the
employees and returned to earth. The Skycoaster has a perfect safety record and has
about 20,000 riders each year.
