Navy’s birthday bash

By KATHY REEDWhidbey Crosswind

When you want something done right, call on the Marines of the Marine Aviation Training

Support Group (MATSG) 53 from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Nine Marines were up before dawn last Friday to help set up for the Island County Business Expo, which was held last week-end at the Coupeville Middle and High School Gymnasium. The group helped

move 19 rolls of carpeting from an Oak Harbor storage unit to the gym.

“The most cumbersome part of the set-up is the carpet, so these guys are an invalu-able part of the process,” said Anne Hallam, WorkSource Whidbey center coordinator and Expo show coordinator.

The move was completed in two phases; first, Marines pulled the rolls off the forklift and loaded the truck at the storage unit. The truck was then unloaded at the gym, where the long strips of carpeting were like puzzle pieces that needed to be put together a certain way to fit the room.

The work was heavy, but the Marines made short work of it — hauling the huge rolls one at a time from the truck to the gym, calling out directions to one another. As soon as a roll of carpet hit the floor it

Chili cook off a first forVFW Riders

By MELANIE HAMMONSWhidbey Crosswind

Fall means chili time, and the VFW Riders motorcycle group saw its first chili cook off pay off in a big way last Saturday. Not only did the guests enjoy tasty, spicy bowls of chili and side dishes, their $5 admission was devoted to an annual scholarship for a local high school student.

“College is expensive for kids and their par-ents,” said VFW Riders member and former post commander Pete Sill. “We (the riders group) wanted to jump on the bandwagon

was unwrapped and spread out. When the work was done, the entire gym floor was carpeted and Marines got to work with the pipe and drape, sectioning off the room for Expo partici-pants.

One Marine said it’s good to help out with events like this because it helps keep them in touch with the community.

“Sometimes people think the military is aloof,” said Staff Sgt. Benjamin Robinson. “But we don’t just fight in wars — we serve our community as well. And helping ben-efits our community and it benefits us, because we live here. Who knows? Someone’s kid may even go

to school here.”According to Hallam,

there were scholarships available for the group recruited to help with the set-up. The Marines plan to use the money for the Marine Ball, which will be held at the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Officers’ Club on Nov. 10.

“I really wanted to pay a group that needs the money and is motivated,” said Hallam, who was pleased with her helpers. “I’m thrilled. I just have to move out of the way and I don’t have to do anything.”

This year’s business expo boasted 67 booths, which was down from last year’s 100. Island County Economic Development Council executive direc-tor, Ron Nelson, said that probably has more to do

with people’s perception of the economy, rather than the reality.

“If people perceive the economy as bad, it sort of

becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy,” he said. “It is true that building is way down — it’s probably half what it once was. But

taxable retail sales have remained steady.”

Nelson said the econ-omy, at least here on Whidbey Island, is not all

gloom and doom.“It’s not as bad as people

think,” he said. “Yes, build-ing is down, but there are still a lot of businesses out there doing very well.”

All in all, Nelson said the 19th annual event was a success.

“Attendance was low,” he said, “but the vendors were pleased because people came to do business rather than collect freebies.”

“As the show coordina-tor, I would have to say that the operation ran very smoothly, in large part because we had excel-lent volunteers from the Central Whidbey Lion’s Club, Coupeville Boys and Girls Club and the Marine Aviation Training Support Group,” said Hallam. “They were all amazing.”

with practical ways to address that.”

The VFW has already established itself as a gen-erous patron of college scholarships: The Ladies Auxiliary of the local VFW post gives out two $500 awards annually. Those are in addition to nationally supported VFW efforts such as the Patriot’s Pen Essay, and Patriotic Art contests, among others, said Ladies Auxiliary mem-ber Diane Small.

VFW Riders president Steve Nickerson thanked everyone for coming out to support the event.

“This is the first time we’ve done a fundraiser like this, for this reason,” said Nickerson. “We hope that this will be the first of many more to come.”

Twelve cooks submit-ted entries for the contest Saturday. And if you were hoping for something more exotic than just beef on the menu, you were in luck.

“I heard one guy say he was making his chili with

elk meat,” said Sill.VFW rider Sam Miller,

attending with wife Kristy and son Doug, said his entry didn’t contain ordi-nary beef either.

“I used venison,” said Miller. “That and some fla-vor and spices gives a nice little bite to it.”

“I don’t really care if I win or not,” continued Miller. “But it’s been fun, and if I do win, guess I’ll have bragging rights until the next contest rolls around.”

Three lucky judges, Joanne McDaniel, Stanley Gearheart and Veterans of Foreign Wars post com-mander David Hollett, tasted samples of each chili between frequent sips of water. After careful delib-eration, the judges’ deci-sion was unanimous, said

Hollett.“It’s all been enjoyable,

and we agreed that Sandy Sill’s was the best tast-ing of all,” he said. One honor given to Sandy was a wooden commemorative plaque of the event with her name engraved on it.

As for her entry, Sill was mum as to whether the award-winning chili con-tained beef, elk, venison or something else altogether.

“I use the same recipe my mother always used,” she said with a laugh.

VFW Riders motorcycle group inducted its youngest member in a “patching” ceremony.

Doug Miller, 13, has participated in several Patriot Guard Rider events with his parents, Sam and Kristy.

As a newly inducted supporting member of the group, Miller received a VFW Riders vest. His new vest also sported Miller’s nickname — “skid mark.”

Local Reservist helps in Rhode Island rescue

A Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Reservist is among seven U.S. Navy Reservists on duty at the Naval War College who became instant heroes last Thursday when they rescued a driver who had flipped his car and landed upside down in a ditch near Newport, R.I.

The Reservists, who are serving on the War College staff for the 2011 International Seapower Symposium, were driving on I-495 to Wrentham,

Mass., last Thursday morn-ing when they witnessed a driver attempt to merge onto the highway. The driver lost control of his car in rain-soaked gravel, spun around, flipped and careened off the road. The car landed upside down in a nearby ditch.

Lt. Cmdr. Laura Reeves, of NAS Whidbey Island, was among those who participated in the rescue. Ensign Chelsea Smit of Lowell, Mich., called 9-1-1 while hull Maintenance Technician First Class Ernest Harlin of Nashville, Tenn., and Master-at-Arms Third Class Leonard Gallegos of Reno, Nev., pulled the man from the smoking car, turned off the ignition and pulled him to safety.

Other reservists involved in the rescue included Lt. Cmdr. Andrea Franks of Groton, Conn., Lt. Cmdr. Lynn Davidson of Jacksonville, Fla., Ensign Yvonne Zirrith, Piscataway, N.J., and civilian Kelly Williamson (retired enlist-ed sailor) of Newport, R.I.

Name: Bradley Bautista

Service: U.S. Navy

Rate: Aviation Machinist’s Mate 2nd Class

Born in (hometown): Layton, Vt.

Nickname: None

Job Description: As the Powerplants Leading Petty Of� cer, I’m in charge of the crew and material readiness of eight engines, four auxiliary power units and all fuel systems and oil systems.

Place of work (squadron): VAQ-132

My favorite childhood memory: We

used to live in Big Bear, Calif., and when it would snow we’d use black trash bags as

sleds.

I joined the military because: I wanted to further better myself, and I wanted to be able to provide for my child.

My most memorable moment in the military is: The day I found out I made 2nd Class Petty Of� cer because it took me so long. I ran around the hangar in Iraq screaming because I was

so happy.

The best thing about being in the military is: The places I’ve seen and

the friends I’ve made.

We’ve heard a lot lately about our nation’s econom-ic woes. Budget deficits and spending cuts have been at the forefront of most of the media, and probably with good reason.

The Department of Defense is one of many that will feel the pinch of upcoming spending reductions.

One cost reduction pro-posal on the table is from the Congressional Budget Office.

In its March, 2011 report, “Reducing the Deficit: Spending and Revenue Options,” is a chap-ter on Discretionary Spending. Option 6 can be found on page 84.

Option 6 calls for the con-solidation of commissary and exchange systems. The consoli-dation would take place over a

five-year period, shifting the Defense Commissary Agency (DeCA) from appropriated funds to non-appropriated funds. The proposal calls for a 7 per-cent increase in prices, but would provide an annual grocery allowance for active duty military personnel to help offset the price increases.

I can see how this could be a great idea — on paper.

What they appear to be overlooking is that the exchange system, which has long operated without government subsidies, uses the profits it makes to fund much of the military’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation expenses.

Before they make a final decision there are some questions that should be addressed: What about our fixed-income retirees? What about the people who stand to lose their jobs in the event of a consolida-tion? What about the vendors who service these stores? The proposal could have far-reaching effects that might not show up on paper.

You can find a copy of the CBO’s report online at www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/120xx/.../03-10-ReducingTheDeficit.pdf. There is also information against the proposal online at www.saveourbenefit.com.

Vaccination basics for your dog and catSince 1796, when Edward

Jenner first injected an eight year old boy against

smallpox using material from cowpox blisters he collected from a milkmaid’s hand, we have been working to protect people from disease by using the body’s own immune system. Over the centu-ries, continued research and the development of new vaccines has led to the control or elimination of many diseases that affected or killed millions of people and animals.

Unfortunately, vaccines have become a victim of their own success as people forget the historical rav-ages that these diseases once caused. This has also led many people, often without the benefit of data to support their beliefs, to dismiss vaccines as either unnecessary or even harmful. I readily admit that vaccinations have the potential to have an adverse

effect in some individuals, but in medi-cine there will always be that element of benefit and risk as we deal with the unique biology of each individual. Fortunately, research has been ongo-ing for literally centuries to develop vaccines that provide protection while trying to minimize adverse reactions. There is also ongoing research look-ing at the duration of immunity that a vaccine produces so that better recom-mendations can be made regarding the

required frequency of vaccinations. If we look at the vaccinations for dogs and cats

we can divide all of the vaccines into either core or non-core. A core vaccine is one that is highly rec-ommended, or even legally required, in the case of rabies vaccinations, as a public health measure. A non-core vaccine is one that may be recommended

FOR PETS’ SAKE

for your pet based on their lifestyle. Does your dog go for walks around the neighborhood, go to a dog park, or to a groomer? Then vaccination against kennel cough caused by Bordetella is highly recommended. Here in the Pacific Northwest you should also consider vaccinating that same dog against Leptospirosis, a disease that can affect both pets and people. Lyme disease, something very common when I practiced in the Boston area, is quite rare here, and might only be considered for a hunting dog that travels out of state.

For cats, the choices are based on whether they are indoors only or have the chance to spend time outdoors. Vaccination against feline leukemia virus (FeLV) would be a non-core vaccine that is highly recommended for a cat that goes outdoors.

How often a pet should be vaccinated is a question many owners ask. What is the balance between the protection that an immunization provides and the risk of an adverse reaction to that vaccine? We know some vaccines only pro-vide short term protection of a year or less. Other vaccines can provide a level of protection that can last for years. The latest recommendations for both dogs and cats are to

immunize them with a series of core vaccines when they are puppies and kittens, combined with the non-core vac-cines recommended for their lifestyle. This is followed by a set of adult vaccines at one year of age. After that, vaccines

are generally recommended on a three-year interval, except for those vaccines, such as Bordetella, Leptospirosis, and feline leukemia virus, which should be administered annu-ally.

Some people prefer to have their pet’s level of immunity against a specific disease, called a titer, measured instead of having them receive immunizations on a regular basis. Measuring titers involves a blood test, and, except for rabies immunizations which are legally required for public health, can help minimize the number and frequency of vaccina-tions your pet receives.

Remember, not every dog or cat needs to be vaccinated for every possible disease. You need to discuss your pet’s lifestyle with your veterinarian to help decide the best com-bination of benefit and risk for your pet.

For additional information about vaccinations for your pet consider visiting the website of the American Association of Feline Practitioners at www.catvets.com or the website of the American Animal Hospital Association at www.healthypet.com.

A few brief remarks and a quick snip of the scissors brought the official end to months of construction at the Navy Exchange on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Seaplane base last Thursday morning.

“This was the biggest con-struction project in the Navy Exchange Service Command in

2010,” said NEX general manager Lynn Moore. “It was 18 months of construction and six months of planning before that.”

There was a full house for the grand re-opening celebration, which began with an invocation from Cmdr. Mike Hackanson, chaplain, and the national anthem, which was performed by Grace Javier.

“We are extremely pleased to see so many guests here today,” said Joyce Napoletano, customer relations manager. “We’re hum-bled by those of you who have been so very patient throughout the construction.”

The $12 million proj-ect increased the size of the Exchange by 12,000 square feet

— 9,000 square feet of retail space and 3,000 square feet of space by the receiving dock. The construction project included improvements to the entrances, restrooms, salon, optical center and the ID card lab. There are new floors and fixtures through-out.

“I think you’ll find the store much more pleasant through-out,” said Capt. Christopher Bower, Acting Commanding Navy Exchange Service Command, who added his thoughts regarding proposals in Washington, D.C. to make changes to the Exchange and Commissary systems.Cheers erupt from officials and the crowd at the ribbon cutting ceremony cel-

“The Exchange is a valuable benefit that is currently under attack by some in Congress,” he said. “We are fighting diligently to preserve it.”

NAS Whidbey Island Executive Officer, Capt. Chris Phillips, praised contractors for keeping the integrity of the 1942 Seaplane hangar intact.

“It has taken exceptional teamwork, exceptional leadership and extreme commitment,” Phillips said. “And, the store remained in the black during all phases of construction.”

According to Bower, construction actually fin-ished two months ahead of schedule. The only part of the store that wasn’t included in the remodeling was the food court. Moore said that is something that will be handled separately.

“This project started in January of last year with an award letter and ends today with this ceremony,” said Robert Hymel, of Triton-Marine Construction Corporation. “This is a great facility and I’m proud to be part of this project.”

All that was left after the speeches was the ribbon-cutting, which included Bowers, Moore, Phillips, district vice president Jean Bergquist and senior vice president Continental U.S. Gary King. A blue-and gold-adorned cake was served in the food court area immediately following the ribbon cutting. Prize drawings and special deals were offered to shoppers throughout the day.

“Thank you for your patience,” Bower said to the crowd of shoppers and employees. “I wish much success for this beautiful new store.”

You might say the PBY Catalina is responsible for bringing people together.

Lesley Bond, of Wichita Falls, Texas, credits his wartime experience at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s Seaplane Base for a new friendship that might never have happened if it weren’t for the PBY.

Bond, 85, had not been back to Whidbey Island in 65 years. But his association with PBYs would bring about the start of a beautiful friendship.

Bond was stationed at Seaplane Base during the 1940s. While there, he met and dated a girl from Bellingham named Ernestine Swann, who later went on to marry a shipmate of his, Jack Hill.

Many years later, Bond took a notion, as he says, “to look up (my old girlfriend) on the Internet.” Thanks to a Whatcom County public records search, he was able to do just that, and made contact with Ernestine once again.

Ernestine’s daughter, Coleen Hill of Bellingham, and her siblings had never personally met the man who counted both her mother and father as friends.

“I had heard of him (Lesley) through my mother and father,” said Hill.

Her mother passed away in March.“I was trying to contact Lesley, because I knew he would

want to know about it,” she said. Her dad died in 2000.Telephone calls proved unsuccessful at first, but “after

one thing or another, we finally established contact,” she said.

The correspondence between the two became more fre-quent, and the conversations turned toward the possibility of Bond making a personal visit, he said.

“Coleen kept saying, ‘Why don’t you come here and see us?’ Well, here I am,” said Bond.

Bond himself has two children, a daughter and son, liv-ing in Oklahoma and Texas.

A former Navy Seaman Second Class, Bond said one of the most memorable incidents of his Seaplane Base expe-rience occurred when he was part of the beach crew for the PBY seaplanes.

“My job was to tow the planes up the ramp once they’d landed,” he said.

As Bond tells it, his friend, named Chamberlain, wanted to learn to tow the planes with the tractor. While the sea-plane was safely parked with no problems, not so with the tractor.

“(Chamberlain) got a little too excited, and drove the

tractor off into the water, and down both of them sank,” said Bond. “We were preparing to pull him out, when out of the water, his head popped up.”

As far as Hill is concerned, Bond is now part of her fam-ily.

“We’ve adopted one another. Well, we’ve adopted him into our family, whether he wants to be or not,” she laughed.

PBY helps make long-distance connection

According to Lesley Bond, sailors at the NAS Whidbey Island Seaplane Base sometimes had to take a boat out to hook on the seaplanes if the water was too deep. PHOTO COURTESY OF LESLEY BOND
