Baby of the Year

Did you check out all of the adorable babies in today's Baby of the Year Contest special section? The baby that gets the most votes will win a prize package. I have my pick, but it wasn't easy. Ballots must be received by March 4.

Sad news for the Ebensburg family who lost their airman son to a vehicle incident in Japan. Airman 1st Class Derek Kozorosky died Friday. His mother said he was training to be a firefighter and doing what he always wanted to do. See David Hurst's story on A1.

I'm sure the families of the 298th Maintenance Company are excited that their loved ones are getting ready to come home after a year in Iraq. Bill Kibler talked with Capt. Jim Grassmyer about the work done there for his story on A1.

I wonder who lost their Valentine's Day balloons that Patrick Waksmunski spied in a tree on the Penn State Altoona campus. (See his photo on A2.)
