Word of the month: Nation Leno brings comedy act to Carson by Dustin Senger Mountaineer staff

Late-night talk show host Jay Leno let loose a series of stand-up comedy bits Saturday, seizing his military audience with laughter. “My abs are hurting right now — this is better than any (physical training) test,” said Pfc. Thomas Greiner, 4th Engineer Battalion, who sat near the front row during Leno’s monologue, which revealed humor in news headlines and everyday ironies for more than an hour. “These people give their careers and everything for their country,” said Leno, prior to heading on stage. “So, coming and telling jokes, believe me, is an honor.” About 1,500 guests funneled into the Special Events Center, where they squeezed into bleachers and grabbed foldout chairs. The award-winning comedian is widely known as the host of NBC’s “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” a program that presents entertaining segments and celebrity interviews. He succeeded Johnny Carson in 1992, and then won a primetime Emmy award in 1995. Throughout his nearly 20 years with the top-rated program, Leno never stopped touring, he said. The comedian still averages

A collection of “welcome home” signs and banners covered the walls and ceiling inside the Special Events Center. Nearly 4,000 war fighters had returned during the past two months.

The Soldiers said an opportunity to watch Leno live at Fort Carson was something they never expected. “There was a lot of crowd stuff you cannot hear on television,” said Greiner. “Everyone putting in their two cents and the roar of everyone laughing, it was awesome.” “It’s fun to tell jokes — it’s what I like to do — and Photo by Dustin Senger you’re a great audience,” said Leno, wrapping up his show Garrison Command Sgt.

Girls from the Mountain Post are getting a chance to learn the game of softball in a unique and fun fashion. With only enough players to field two teams in the girls’ 7-to-9-year-old division, Fort Carson Youth Services Center officials reached out to the Widefield/Security softball league instead of having the two teams play each other continuously. It was a decision that is paying dividends now and should continue into the future, according to the two coaches. Jessica Shaffer and Alena Westover could not say enough good things about what their team is receiving from and giving to the league. Shaffer said her team has played well and, considering it is the first time they have played in the Widefield/Security league, she is happy with the team’s progress. She said the benefits the players are getting should last a lifetime. “I think it’s great that the kids get to play down here because they get to meet new people and play against different competition. Another good reason to play in this league, as opposed to playing on post, is we only have two teams in this age group on post. Playing down here they can play a variety of teams and get a variety of experiences playing softball,” Shaffer said. Westover said the league is also giving the girls a life lesson in addition to a sports lesson that is invaluable and one military members are accustomed to. “We really haven’t had a problem adjusting to playing off post. These are all military children and military children have the ability to adapt very quickly,” Westover said. “Sports teach a person a lot about life and that means Fort Carson Youth Services Center player Juliana Crawford, left, races to third base in an attempt to get an opponent learning how to deal with winning and losing. out during youth softball action Saturday in Widefield. It also teaches you how to deal with injuries and also gives people a sense of bonding because Both coaches say their girls are taking is a love of sports and a better understanding you are with your teammates at least twice a advantage of the opportunity to play against other of life and how to deal with each. I believe week for practice and once for the games.” teams in the league, broadening their sports sports are important for young people because it Both coaches said they have been pleasantly and life experiences. keeps them in shape and it keeps them active. surprised with the progress their teams have made Westover said the girls are getting a jump on If they enjoy this game and go on to play other this year. Shaffer began the year with players life and sports by playing in the league. sports, I think it will always be a good thing with little experience while Westover had only “When the season is over, I really hope that for them as they continue in sports and in life,” two players with any experience. what these ladies take away from this experience Westover said.

What positions did you play when you played baseball? I played three positions — pitcher, catcher and outfield. What would you consider one of your best personal moments in sports? You know that would really be hard for me. I played a lot of sports growing up, and I won a lot of championships, but none of them stand out more than the others. What is your best professional sports moment? Anytime there is football and the Washington Redskins (are playing), I consider it my favorite professional sports moment. If you could change anything about sports what would it be? I just wish there would not be as much unsportsmanlike conduct as I see in athletic events. You know, I understand that there will be trash talking and to a degree that’s fine, but once you go beyond that it’s really not a very good thing. What could sports do to help families enjoy an athletic event? I wish there was something that could be done about the ticket prices. I took my wife to a professional football game and we ended up spending about $900. It was a bit much and I wish they could make the ticket prices lower. If you could meet any athlete and spend the day with him, who would it be? I would like to meet Cal Ripken Jr. I was told about his career and the things he is doing now since he has stopped playing. People who don’t know me would be surprised to know that ... I have been a Washington Redskins fan since I knew what a football was.
