It runs off a generator which is powered by batteries. The generator and batteries are protected from the bullets being fired at the truck with the same type of steel that tanks are made of. From within the range tower, the truck and other targets throughout the range can be operated. “We can even program scenarios, hit start and it’s (the scenario) played out for the Soldiers to react to,” said Camp. Although the truck and track are some of the unique features of the Entry Control Point Range, Lt. Col. John McClellan, executive officer of the 2nd Bde., 91st Div., said the range has a multitude of features. “The benefit to this range is that there are a lot of different components testing the Soldiers,” he said.

Chris Smith Mountaineer staff With summertime being very popular for wed- dings, Soldiers can turn to post and local services for help with the process. One key element to planning a wedding is to start early. Many locations and services take nearly a year’s notice to schedule. “The first thing you need to look at when you’re trying to have an affordable wedding is how much money do you have,” said Patricia Randle, financial readiness manager, Army Community Services. “Weddings can easily cost $100,000, but they can (also) be affordable.” Soldiers are provided with low-cost services on post including the ceremony, chapel and recep- tion. One of the reasonable services available to Soldiers is to use the chaplains on post. Installation ministry is willing to assist with the marriage process. “It’s free for the church and service,” said Chap. (Col.) Lowell Moore, Fort Carson com- mand chaplain. “The only cost would be an organist, if desired.” Plenty of planning and forethought can help ease the frustration of particpating in the wedding Chapels are part of Soldiers’ privileges and process.

by Spc. Clint Stein Mountaineer staff In the Army, a Soldier who has a family is oftentimes the provider of that family while the spouse chooses to stay home and care for their children. For the spouse providing for the children while the Soldier is at work, the job of caretaker may not have a monetary value — unless the spouse is a registered family child-care provider. People who stay at home and care for their own children can make supplemental income by caring for other people’s children when they become a registered family child-care provider through Army Child and Youth Services. In order to become a registered FCC provider, there is a series of applications and training one must complete before he or she can get started. If anyone is interested in becoming a FCC provider, Rozanna Call, co-director of FCC, sug- gests they attend an informational orientation first. “The orientation provides a lot of information about the program and is a time when people can Photo by Spc.

Fort Carson’s Turkey Creek Ranch makes a picturesque scene.

Story and photos by Nel Lampe Mountaineer staff urkey Creek Ranch is one of the best benefits of being assigned to Fort Carson. The ranch looks like it came from a Western movie- Ttype setting — with rolling hills, scrub oak bushes, white fences, dozens of horses, wranglers, a donkey and a barn cat. Additional amenities include picnic areas, a Western-town playground, complete with a “bank,” “hotel” and “jail.” The ranch is open every day from dawn to dusk for Mountain Post Team members to drop by, enjoy a picnic or walk under shade trees. Turkey Creek Ranch is staffed Wednesdays through Sundays and geared up for activities those days, such as pony rides, trail rides and birthday parties. Turkey Creek Ranch is a 1,200-acre working ranch with a history Andrea Phipps leads a trail ride at Turkey dating back more than 120 years. Creek Ranch. The ranch was started in 1883 and had several owners before it was acquired in 1912 by Spencer Penrose, a prominent Colorado Springs citizen with sev- eral business and philanthropy interests. He built the Pikes Peak Highway, started the RIGHT: A Pikes Peak Hill Climb and later built the large group Broadmoor Hotel and started the Cheyenne picnics at Mountain Zoo.

There was a guest Ranch. house, a swimming pool, tennis courts and orchards. Sweeping lawns surrounded the main house. Penrose raised cattle, pigs and sheep on the ranch as well as his private collection of exotic animals that eventually found a home in the zoo. Penrose’s other interests and projects began to take up so much of his time that he sold off the livestock and eventually, the ranch. Turkey Creek Ranch had several more owners before it was acquired by the U.S. Army in the mid ’60s. It is under the Directorate of Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

Cover up your body while in the sun. Wear a hat with a brim that can give your face some protection from the sun and wear clothing that protects as much of your body as possible. Most of all, avoid staying too long in the sun for extended period of times. It is especially important to limit the time spent in the sun when it is at its hottest peak, usually between noon and 4 p.m. For more information on keeping safe in the sun, contact a health care provider.

Trainer From Page 39 Her new career path led her to Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., where she got to work with Division I athletes. “I thought that would be the best experience for me as an aspiring athletic trainer. I also got the opportunity to work with Don Kessler, who is the head athletic trainer at Rutgers. He is a much decorated athletic trainer and taught me an awful lot about the field,” Smith said. Smith moved on from her training at Rutgers to become an athletic trainer for Army sports programs and has found the experiences to be as rewarding. “I like working with the All-Army team because of what I can learn from being here. Within medi- cine, I believe you learn more from an injury you see than an injury you learn about.” Smith said one of the best parts of her job is get- ting to know the athletes prior to having to treat them for an injury. She said being a part of the team helps her understand what a person needs in terms of health care right away which helps the athlete trust in the care she provides. “My goal is to build trust with my athletes before they ever have to come and see me. I want them to be able to trust me when they do get hurt that I will give them the health care they need. As a health care provider or athletic trainer, I know my athletes before they ever get hurt. Being a part of the team, like I am, gives us a great advantage. We are one of the only health care providers that can get that. I know these 12 guys from having been around them. They may not have sprained an ankle yet, but if they do I already know their personality Photo by Walt Johnson and what they are like. This is an advantage over All-Army athletic trainer, Sara Smith, talks with Craig Marcelin after he suffered an injury to his even a doctor because they may not know their face during a recent scrimmage game. patients until they are sick,” Smith said.
