By Lea Johnson 21st Space Public Affairs Office staff writer

PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. — Healthy habits are established at an early age, that’s why the Peterson Health and Wellness Center is sponsoring a program to teach kids about healthy living. The 5210 Let’s Go! program is a national program based out of Maine. Staff Sgt. Ronneisha Sargent, HAWC dietary therapist, said the program promotes healthy daily living through five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, less than two hours of screen time, one hour of physical activity, and no sugary drinks, including juice and soda. “We want to break the cycle and get (children) healthy from the beginning, so they’ll be able to do that for the rest of their lives. It will be the norm to them to exercise every day, to choose more vegetables,” she said. To jumpstart the program, the HAWC is sponsoring a weekly, (U.S. Air Force photo/Lea Johnson) healthy meal scavenger hunt at the commissary. “We’re going to Staff Sgt. Ronneisha Sargent, Health and Wellness Center dietary therapist, stands by a display at the commissary to hand out a have a table in the front of the commissary,” Sargent said. “It’s scavenger hunt and recipe cards to children.

CAMP DENALI, Alaska — In an instant, everything was gone. A lifetime of laughter, tears and memories lay smoldering in a heap of twisted metal and charred lumber. Annette Cook was now without a home. On Aug. 23, 2011, a propane facility in Butler County, Kan., exploded into flames, causing an enormous fire with as many as 40 separate explosions at the propane-fill station. Harmless tanks of propane turned into 100-pound rockets, shooting in every direction, intent on destruction, according to eye-witnesses. When the fire subsided and the dust settled, one person was killed, and a building and three houses were destroyed, including Cook’s home. “It looked like a bomb went off, rubble and ash were ev- erywhere,” she said. More than 3,000 miles away in interior Alaska, Tech. Sgt. Ricky Ramos, a security forces fire-team leader for the 213th Space Warning Squadron, Clear Air Force Station, checked Facebook and noticed some unsettling photos posted by his childhood classmate Annette. “I was looking at the aftermath and the destruction, and there was just nothing left,” Ramos said. He scrolled one by one through photos of Annette’s house decimated by one of the propane tanks. Looking at warped metal where appliances once were, he saw something that spurred him into action. “I saw a partly-burnt flag that was her father’s, who was a major in the Air Force,” Ramos said. “And I saw a Purple Heart Medal belonging to her grandfather, Fireman 1st
