Since then, parents, youth Girls Club of America Pikes Peak region, as well as children from Fort Carson participated in activities, games and contests throughout the day’s celebration. The theme for this year’s National Kids Day was “American Pride.” Steve Hanchett, CYS director, said a lot of the day’s activities and contests have an America Pride theme to them. “We’re eating hot dogs, having a home-run derby and having an apple- pie-eating contest.” One of the day’s biggest events was the sidewalk- chalk art contest. Children from different age groups participated in the sidewalk art contest in front of the CYS building for anyone to see. There were many drawings on the hot cement pallet. Some children spent over an hour putting their artistic talents to work in the midday sun. Another contest that seemed to attract both participants and spectators was the apple-pie-eating contest. Several groups of children, all of different ages, sat with their hands behind their backs as they plunged their faces into small apple pies. Within a few short and messy minutes, an apple-pie-eating champion was crowned. For the children who wanted to participate in activities that were a little cleaner, there were other things for them to do such as basketball, making their Photo by Pfc.

When did your dream start? Where will it take you?

Col. Eileen Collins Webster University is proud of the thousands of our graduates, like Eileen Collins, Commander, Space Shuttle Discovery who have reached their goals. Sometimes more than once. Eileen achieved stellar Doctor of Science, Honoris Causa, performances as an astronaut and space shuttle commander of the successful Webster University 1996 Discovery Return to Flight. M.A. Space Systems Management, Webster University 1989 The idea of success is different for everyone. It could be your own business, the corner office, or the top floor. And a few of us dream even higher. Eileen Collins did. With years of hard work and resolute focus, she achieved her goal.

The students, faculty, staff and alumni of Webster University salute Eileen Collins on her achievements.

The karaoke machine was not just for the children, but for adults as well. Operation Story Time was being conducted by members of the OutReach Program, where family members could record themselves on a compact disc singing karaoke or telling a story to have it sent to a deployed Soldier.

One of the best things about this program is seeing the amount of love that goes into these messages, said Randy Moore, education technician. “A lot of them are real tear-jerkers.” Having a CD made and getting it, along with a photo, sent to a Soldier who is And many more ... deployed is free to all military families.

Football From Page 41 around one defender and bullying his way through another to get into the end zone and give the Ordnance team a 6-0 lead. After getting the two- point conversation, Ordnance led the game 8-0. On the very next series the Ordnance team defense got in on the fun by first pinning the MEDDAC team deep in its own territory and then relentlessly pursuing the MED- DAC quarterback Joe Turbyville into the end zone for a safety and a 10-0 lead. In the second half, Black con- tinued his one man offensive show by picking off a MEDDAC pass and returning it 25 yards for a touchdown and put the game away for the Ordnance team. After the game, Black said the key to his success was an age-old theory in football. “Speed kills and I was able to use my speed tonight,” Black said. Nickolaus Krobaq, Ordnance coach, said his team played well and they expect that to be the case this year. “We have a very solid team that is motivated to play well and we are very dedicated to playing this game. We knew we wanted to vary our defenses tonight and keep them off balance and we were able to do that.
