Nicholas Wood 115th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment Oregon Army National Guard PIÑON CANYON MANEUVER SITE — About 2,600 Soldiers from 12 states and territories are participating in Operations Piñon Canyon and Bayonet Thrust Aug. 7 to Saturday at Piñon Canyon Maneuver Site near Trinidad. Operation Bayonet Thrust was initially a mission intended to prepare the 41st Brigade Combat Team for its 2005 Joint Readiness Training Center rotation in Fort Polk, La., but because they will not be going, the Piñon Canyon mission was adapted. “The concept of the operation originally devel- oped has changed because the 41st BCT's mission has changed,” said Oregon Army National Guard Soldier Lt. Col. Rendell Chilton, chief of staff, Joint State Task Force. Instead of going to JRTC, the 41st BCT is slated to go to Afghanistan to support ongoing stabilization and security operations there, said Col. Stephen Truesdell, commander of the JSTF and an Oregon Army National Guard Soldier. “(We) wanted to replicate missions in Afghanistan down range,” Chilton said. The 7th Infantry Division, 41st BCT's higher com- mand, will also be participating in the training.

by Pfc. Clint Stein farmers, ranchers, Scouts and Soldiers all played an integral part of that great Mountaineer staff endeavor. The 64th Annual Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo and Parade was celebrated in The street parade kicked off the week’s festivities with several floats, grand fashion starting Aug. 11 as members of the Colorado Springs and sur- bands, horses and wagons making their way through the streets of downtown rounding communities showed their Old West spirit during the five-day rodeo Colorado Springs. Even Fort Carson’s 7th Infantry Division and Deputy extravaganza. Commanding General, Brig. Gen. Joseph Orr, rode horseback in the parade The Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo and Parade theme this year was “Western representing the Mountain Post and the Army. Military commanders from the Pride” in honor of the men and women who lived, worked and helped civilize surrounding Air Force bases rode alongside Orr to represent their branch of the wide open spaces of western North America. Cowboys, American Indians, service as well. Although the morning of the parade started out with chilly weather, hundreds of people lined the edges of the streets bundled up in blan- kets and coats to help stay warm during the parade. As the 90 minute long parade went by, the day got warmer and the rodeo start time drew closer. When the rodeo got started later that night, 7th Infantry Division and Fort Carson Commanding General, Maj. Gen. Robert Wilson, was on hand for the opening ceremony. Dressed for the occasion in cowboy boots and cowboy hat, Wilson stood in the middle of the Colorado Springs World Arena and thanked the com- munity for the great support it has shown toward the military and Fort Carson Soldiers. In addition to the rodeo, opening night was also Army night hon- oring Fort Carson Soldiers and their families. Many of the proceeds from the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo go toward Fort Carson and other military charity programs. The military was not the only beneficiary of the rodeo. More than a $215,000 purse was up for grabs by rodeo contestants. Johnny Chavez from Bosque, N.M., was the big-money winner, taking home more than $7,000. A veteran bull rider, Chavez won top honors in the first round of competition, placed third in the finals and won the belt buckle with a total of 168 points on two rides. Children dressed in costumes representing influential people in American Josh Peek, the all-around champion of the rodeo, winning $5,852, history ride through downtown Colorado Springs on the Kiddie Dress Revue is a close neighbor of Colorado Springs.

Tate Stratton holds on tight as he tries to ride out Rattle Trap for eight grueling seconds in the bull riding event.

Winners in the other events were Eric Swenson in bareback riding, J.R. Crozier for steer wrestling and Blair Burke for tie-down roping. There was a tie for first place in the saddle bronc riding between Tom Reeves of Eagle Butte, S.D., and Cody Wright of Milford, Utah. Winners of the team roping competition were Speed Williams of Amarillo, Texas, and Rich Skelton of Llano, Texas, roping the calf in a time of 4.7 seconds. Winner of the women’s barrel race, with a time of 25.16 seconds, was Tana Poppino from Big Cabin, Okla. Although there were seven different events that the professional rodeo con- testants took part in, there were two events added to the billet that were just for fun. The wild horse racing was a contest that consisted of six, three-man, teams. Each team had to capture, saddle and race a wild horse around barrels set up in the arena. As the cowboys ran frantically trying to saddle their horses and not be trampled at the same time, the World Arena audience was enter- tained to see only one team actually get on one of the bucking broncos. Another event that had the audience laughing out of their seats was the wild cow milking contest. This was especially entertaining to the Soldiers and their families in the audience because several of the contestants were Soldiers. Members of the Medical Department Activity, 1st Mobilization Brigade and the 10th Special Forces Group made up three of the four teams that were chal- lenged to milk their team’s wild cow. The four-man team from the 10th Special Forces group was finally able to hold the cow still long enough to get some Amber Bruce-West from Philip, S.D., carefully rounds milk and the win. the second corner during the first round of the barrel- racing competition.

Rodeo fans are astonished as Troy Lerwill, also known as “Wild Child,” jumps a truck and trailer with his motorcycle at the Colorado Springs World Arena. Lerwill makes the crowd laugh as a rodeo clown and thrills them with his stunt act.

There are large deposits of sand similar to Colorado’s dunes in 20 states, but Colorado’s dunes are the tallest sand dunes on the North American continent. The Great Sand Dunes became a National Monument in 1932, for preservation and protec- tion of the unique resource. The best time to visit the sand dunes is in spring or fall. Most visitors however, arrive in summer. It’s best to avoid the heat of the day when sand temperatures may reach 140 degrees.

Trojans begin foot- ball practice ... Fountain-Fort Carson Trojans Head Football Coach Mitch Johnson, right, goes through a blocking drill with mem- bers of his offensive line during the first day of training camp for the high school team. The Trojans will begin regular sea- son play in about two weeks as they look to equal last year’s impressive outing that saw them come very close to winning the state championship. This year’s Trojan team will be young and inexperienced in some areas, but Johnson thinks the potential of the team is high and this could be a good year for the Trojans.
