Marines of MATSG-53 run to honor one of their own

Memorial run draws good crowdBy KATHY REED

Whidbey Crosswind

A light breeze and overcast skies Saturday morning made for perfect running conditions

for the fifth annual Major McClung Memorial Run at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

More than 225 people turned out to run either the 5K or 10K race in honor of Maj. Megan McClung, the first female Marine Corps officer killed in combat during the Iraq war. The annual event is organized by Megan’s parents, Mike and Re McClung of Coupeville, and Marine Aviation Training Support Group 53 at NAS Whidbey.

“We have a little over 200 runners this year,” Mike McClung said. “We had 500-plus runners for the same race that was held in Afghanistan.”

This year’s goal was to raise $10,000 to benefit the Semper Fi Fund, a non-profit

organization that provides assistance to wounded Marines or other members of the armed forces injured in support of Marine forces.

“Megan sent us an email once tell-ing us we wouldn’t believe how badly the soldiers in Iraq were being wounded,” Mike said. “So we knew she would have been doing something to help them.”

According to Mike, 99 people in Washington received help through the Semper Fi Fund last year, to the tune of nearly $750,000.

Just as Megan’s family knew she would have supported the Semper Fi Fund, they knew establishing the memorial run would be a good way to honor her mem-ory. Megan was a devoted runner, and

even recreated a version of the Marine Corps Marathon in Iraq.

“This run is really about mind, body and spirit,” Mike said. “Megan felt run-ning helped clear her mind, it kept her body in shape and it raised her spirits. She believed you can’t just be a drone sit-ting at a desk — you have to keep your health up.”

Participants in this year’s race had various reasons for wanting to run, but supporting a good cause and supporting their health ranked high among them.

“I think it’s a good cause,” said Marine 1st Lt. Kristine Wong. “I believe in the charity it benefits and it’s for another Marine.”

“It’s a good way to show support to the family and a good way to show support to the Semper Fi Fund,” agreed Catherine Schmidt, also a Marine 1st Lt. This was Schmidt’s first 10K.

VP-40to the rescue

By Lt. CHRIS LAWSONVP-40 Public Affairs

ANDERSON AIR BASE, Guam — Members of Patrol Squadron (VP) 40 recently took part in a rescue effort near Guam.

On the evening of July 19, VP-40 was asked to assist in the search and rescue effort of a small boat with 15 passengers that had been reported missing in the Federated States of Micronesia. Combat Aircrew (CAC) 12 and six maintainers launched on short notice to Guam to help with the search.

“I got the phone call on my way back from shopping. Within an hour and a half, we were airborne and headed to assist with the search,” recalled Aviation Structural Mechanic

In a truly lovely setting along the water, with the patriotic sounds of the 56th Army Band wafting through the air, com-mand of the Naval Ocean Processing Facility at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island was formally transferred last Thursday, Aug. 11.

Cmdr. Jason Vogt took over the reins of command from Cmdr. Marc Eckardt, who had been at the NOPF helm since June, 2010.

It was the 11th formal Change of Command for NOPF, which conducts continuous antisubmarine warfare and maritime domain awareness surveil-lance. The international force of 32 officers, 335 enlisted U.S. and Canadian soldiers and 17 civilians collects acoustic informa-tion on a 24-hour-a-day basis.

Guest speaker for the Change of Command was Capt. Charles Scott Rauch, Commander, Undersea Surveillance.

“You are fortunate to have had Marc (Eckardt) as commander of NOPF,” Rauch told the audience of fellow officers, com-

munity members, family and NOPF staff. “He is a truly gifted leader who has performed remarkably well during a challenging time.”

Rauch praised Eckardt’s leadership, mention-ing he had achieved a 26 percent increase in the retention rate while at the head of NOPF and had an advancement rate higher than the Navy average dur-ing his tour. Rauch also took good-natured pride in the fact Eckardt had had what Rauch called a “breakthrough” — using the term “QSL” in a recent conversation. (“QSL” is submarine lingo for “acknowledge receipt.”)

All kidding aside, Rauch said Eckardt had ensured his command upheld the highest standards, laying the groundwork for con-tinued readiness as Cmdr. Vogt takes over.

“You have big shoes to fill, but you are prepared,” Rauch said. “I’m looking forward to seeing NOPF flourish as you take the helm.”

Eckardt spoke briefly, sharing a few words for his friends, family and NOPF team.

“To the men and women

of Naval Ocean Processing Facility Whidbey Island, we are one team, we have one fight,” he said. “Together you comprise one of the most capable ASW teams in the Navy.”

Eckhart ended his speech with words often heard in the Navy, but ones he felt appropriate for the occasion.

“I bid you fair winds and following seas,” he said.

Then it was time for the new NOPF commander to address the crowd. Vogt said the mission of the NOPF can be boiled down to three things — find, track and report.

“I know how important this mission is and how something so fundamen-tally simple can be so com-plicated,” he said. “There is no goal line to cross ...

someone here is always on watch. It is my goal to complete the mission while taking care of our people.

“It is my intention to exceed expectations,” Vogt continued. “To the men and women of NOPF, through your ongoing support, I look forward to moving forward and to this team finding success.”

Second Class James Conklin. “The only information given was that six adults and nine children were lost near the island group of Micronesia. Every minute count-ed and could determine life or death for the castaways. That was good enough for us.”

The P-3C landed at Anderson Air Force Base, Guam just before 4 a.m. The main-tainers quickly hurried off the aircraft to establish a base of operations while CAC 12 coordinated with United States Coast Guard (USCG) Guam Sector to begin the mission. CAC 12 was airborne at 5:45 a.m. and began searching the area overhead where the boat was thought to have gone missing.

“This was my first experience working with the U.S. Coast Guard. The search missions were very well organized which is a key component to a successful SAR effort,” said Lt. Justin Christensen, tacti-cal coordinator and mission commander of the P-3C crew. “Great communication with USCG Sector Guam helped the air-crew to be effective in this dynamic and challenging real-life mission. The aircrew exemplified Navy core values, launching at a moment’s notice and on scene 1,700 nautical miles away within ten hours of the initial call.”

Over the next few days, a USCG C-130 Hercules, USCG Cutter Assateague (WPB 1337), several transiting merchant vessels, and local fisherman joined the search.

The distressed vessel was known to have departed Chuuk Island for a 70-nautical-mile transit to the north but never arrived at its destination.

With no sightings or clues of when or where the boat became disabled, search teams assumed they were looking for 15 people in the open ocean with no food, water, and possibly, no boat. On the sec-ond day of searching, widespread rain squalls drove aircraft down to minimum search altitudes, greatly limiting visibility.

On day three, anxiety began to set as time was running out for the lost boaters. The search area had vastly expanded and the capabilities of SAR platforms were being stressed. On the other hand, weather and visibility had drastically improved overnight.

That afternoon, USCG Sector Guam received a report of people spotted on Murillo Atoll, an uninhabited island eight miles west of the distressed vessel’s desti-nation. Within 30 minutes, CAC 12 was overhead and observed a skiff matching the missing vessel’s description overturned on the beach.

“The stranded mariners sent an S-O-S, and we were proud to answer that call,” said Naval Aircrewman 3rd Class Erik Willison.

Soon after, USCG Cutter Assateague arrived on the scene and provided the necessary aid to the survivors. Over the 76-hour period, more than 18,000 nautical miles were covered searching for the miss-ing boaters.

Seaplane Sprint triathlon canceled

The Seaplane Sprint Triathlon, scheduled for this Sunday, has been can-celed.

North Whidbey Parks and Recreation District director Craig Carlson said the district hoped to host the competition next year.

“Although the event drew good interest, we felt there were not enough entries in the 11 age divi-sions to successfully hold the triathlon this year,” he said.

“We hope to publicize the triathlon event ear-lier and more heavily next summer,” said Carlson.

Oak Harbor Library to close — briefly

The Oak Harbor Library will close for one day, Monday, Aug. 29, to accommodate the removal and replacement of the old check-out desk. The desk has been in place since 1993 and has seen millions

of transactions over its life-time, according to a release from Sno-Isle Libraries.

The Friends of the Oak Harbor Library have partnered with Sno-Isle Libraries to provide new furniture for the circula-tion area, which includes customer service, returns and express checkout.

The library will reopen at its regular time on Tuesday, Aug. 30 at 9 a.m. Library patrons may use the bookdrop for all returns during the one-day closure, and requests will be held an additional 24 hours during the week of Aug. 29.

Call 675-5115 for infor-mation.

VFW annual picnicVFW Post and Ladies

Auxiliary members and their guests are invited to attend the annual Whitehead-Muzzall Post picnic Saturday, beginning at 1 p.m.

The picnic will be held at the V-Dome, located just behind the VFW building at 3037 Goldie Rd. in Oak Harbor.

Those attending are encouraged to bring a pot-luck dish to share. Picnic meats will be provided at

no charge.Call 675-4048 for infor-

mation.

DAV needs volunteer drivers

Local chapter 47 of Disabled American Veterans is looking for vol-unteer drivers.

Many Oak Harbor area veterans need a ride to medical appointments at the VA hospital in Seattle. VA provides the vehicle, gas and other related expenses.

Volunteer drivers can make a difference in vet-erans receiving necessary medical care.

Anyone interested in donating one or more days a month as a volunteer driver, or in learning more about what’s involved, should call the local chap-ter at 257-4801 or the VA at 206-764-2195.

Ceremonies set for Traveling Wall

The American Veterans Traveling Tribute and Traveling Wall will be making a stop next week at the Swinomish Casino in

Anacortes.Opening ceremonies will

begin at noon on Aug. 25 and the memorials will be open through Aug. 28.

The AVTT presents several Cost of Freedom memorials and exhibits along with its centerpiece — the traveling wall, an 80 percent scale version of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C. The Traveling Wall is the larg-est Wall replica traveling the U.S.

The Swinomish Casino is located at 12885 Casino Dr. in Anacortes.

What on earth did we do in the days before cell phones and Facebook? How did we survive?

For all the conveniences and entertainment value inherent in today’s technology, sometimes I find myself missing the “good ol’ days,” when children

had to use their imagination to entertain themselves, or, heaven forbid, read a book. (The old-fashioned kind — the ones with paper pages that required you to use your hand to turn them, not today’s Star Trekkie, push-button kind.)

I guess this is the lament of every generation. My parents probably mourned the pass-ing of the phonograph record as cassette tapes and CDs took

over. But in today’s ever evolving technology, even CDs are on the way out, as digital MP-3 players and iPods take over.

I’m not saying technology is a bad thing — I couldn’t imagine preparing a meal these days without using my microwave for something and I would be lost without my cell phone.

But I think it would be fun to load the kids up and take a stroll back in time this weekend at Rendezvous Days, going on through Sunday just south of Coupeville. (See Melanie Hammons’ story on page 6.)

It’s a great way to showcase how far we’ve come, and bring history to life for our kids, and for us parents, too, for that matter. It’s easy to forget that at one time people actually did have to walk two miles (or more) in the snow to get to school, just like Mom and Dad said. And opening the freezer and defrosting something in the microwave never used to play a role in dinner preparations.

Today’s technological advances across all aspects of our lives, and that includes the technology applied every day in the military, would have bog-gled the mind of a trapper or trader in the 1700s.

Sometimes it’s hard to appreciate what you have until you see how hard it was to achieve it.

Most pet owners don’t think that we have much of a problem

with fleas in the Pacific NW. Actually, our climate – humid

and neither too hot nor too cold - is ideal for flea growth. The months of April and October are the worst months for explosive flea growth and the associated problems they can cause for you and your pets.

Did you know?• A Flea can bite up to 400 times a day• A single female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs in

her lifetime • Just one flea can multiply to 1,000 fleas on your

pet and in your home in 21 days• On average, a flea lives for 2-3 months• Flea fossils have been found dating back about

100 million years ago

• The flea population in a home is usu-ally made up of 5% adults, which are on your pet, and 95% of eggs and juvenile stages, which are in your carpets and floors

• An allergy to fleas is the most com-mon skin disease that pets can have, and that the allergic reaction caused by a sin-gle flea bite can persist for several weeks.

Fortunately, flea control is not really that difficult if you use the right prod-

ucts. Unfortunately, there are a lot of products avail-able that are not very effective, and may even be harmful to your pet.

Effective flea control requires that you treat your pet, your home, and your yard.

Use a topical veterinary flea insecticide on your dog or cat. These products can be effective for up to

The lamentof a generation

three months. The newer products contain growth inhibitors (IGR’s) that prevent fleas from maturing.

Flea shampoos, dips, and collars are older methods of control that can be potentially toxic to some people and pets and are not widely recommended any longer. One exception is to cut a flea collar into pieces and place it in your vacuum cleaner bag. Research at Ohio State University proved that vacuuming kills 96 percent of adult fleas and 100 percent of young fleas.

Wash your pet’s bedding once a week for at least four weeks or throw it away.

If your pet lives outdoors where fleas are plentiful you may need to treat the yard and areas where your pet spends most of their time.

Most over-the-counter foggers are not very effective. If you are dealing with a flea infestation use a professional exterminator

who will give you a written guarantee.A severe flea problem may take several

weeks to get under control.Natural flea control methods:

Many people are concerned about the potential toxic effects of insecticides and so would prefer to use a more “natural” alternative. Unfortunately, some natural flea control options may be less effective and more toxic than the conventional products.

• Natural approaches for flea control include dietary, topical, or environmental products.

• Brewer’s yeast and garlic are the most commonly cited dietary approach recom-mended. These products can also be the least effective when evaluated in controlled studies.

• There are many topical products rec-ommended for flea control. Most of them contain essential oils, which have been shown to provide temporary repellent action. They have also been shown, in the

case of pennyroyal oil and others, to cause skin irritation, allergic reactions, seizures, and may even be fatal in some cases.

• Environmental flea control methods include the use of diatomaceous earth and boric acid. The problem with these prod-ucts is usually related to dust inhalation. There is a commercial flea control com-pany, Fleabusters®, which applies a patented formulation of boric acid with a one-year guarantee. The fact they have been in busi-ness throughout the U.S. for over 20 years is significant evidence of their success.

In the end, it’s up to you to determine the best course of action for dealing with fleas. If you have any questions, check with your veterinarian.

WHAT DOES “COMPETENCY-BASED” MEAN?Glad you asked. At WGU Washington, our “competency-based” model lets you earn an accredited bachelor’s or master’s degree online based on what you’ve learned, not how long you spend in a classroom. In other words, once you’ve proven you have the skills and knowledge needed to pass each course, you’re free to move on—no matter how long it takes. You won’t find a program like this at any other online university.

DOES “COMPETENCY-BASED” MEAN “EASY?” NO.But that’s a good thing. Each WGU Washington degree program is designed by experts in their respective fields. And the assessments you’re required to pass to complete each course are hardly a cakewalk. In fact, while many online universities require only a C grade or better to pass, we hold our students to a standard that is equivalent to a B or better. But that just means when you do complete your WGU Washington degree, you’ll be more than prepared for your chosen career.

WHY WGU WASHINGTON MAKES SENSE FOR MILITARY.In addition to making sure you know your stuff, WGU Washington’s degree programs are regionally and nationally accredited, so you can usually continue your studies even if you’re stationed overseas. WGU

Washington also offers scholarships for the military community, including spouses. That’s why we’re listed as a Top Military Friendly School year after year. DOES “COMPETENCY-BASED” MEAN “QUALITY?” YES.Since our courses are designed with the help of the companies you’ll want to work for, a WGU Washington degree is sure to be relevant in your chosen field. It’s one reason 94% of employers who’ve hired a WGU graduate would hire another one. To learn more about WGU Washington’s competency-based model, our affordable flat-rate tuition, or to watch a live webcam of our billboard (it’s riveting), visit washington.wgu.edu.

If you’ve ever yearned to live off the land, you can’t miss the American fur-trapping-era reenactment which begins Friday just south of Coupeville.

Rendezvous Days covers common activi-ties of the late 1700s through the 1840s, such as blacksmithing and the sale of beads, leather goods, black powder guns and sup-plies. Oak Harbor resident, “Blackhat,” (Grey Wunderly) will be there, perhaps fashioning a knife sheath out of buckskin and beads.

Wunderly, a retired Navy Aviation Machinist’s Mate, will likely be in or around his canvas tent, which is patterned after a Lakota Lodge.

“I guess I’ve been doing this (Rendezvous Days) since ‘93 or so,” he said. “Many his-tory textbooks no longer cover this era and its heroes — men like Kit Carson, Jedediah Smith, Jim Bridger.”

Wunderly explained many of the early fur trappers and traders later became wagon train guides and scouts.

“We do these living history reenactments so that these pioneer traditions will contin-ue to live on. In fact, I even make my own buckskin for this event,” he said.

“When you come out here, you get that same sense of freedom: It’s like you’re living back in that time,” said Oak Harbor resi-dent “Powder Dancer,” also known as Chris Eliassen.

Activities include black powder shoot-ing events, archery, tomahawk and knife throwing, in addition to children’s games.

The PBY Memorial just added an extra level of authenticity to its exhibits, thanks to the Whidbey Cruzers Car Club.

Members of the group purchased a 1946 Ford automobile, refurbished its exterior and painted it haze gray, said Bruce Biddle, auto technical adviser of the Whidbey Cruzers. The group has offered to loan the car to the PBY Memorial Foundation as a static display.

According to Biddle, the car is a very realistic replica of the ones used to ferry military officers about dur-ing World War II.

“War theater cars were nearly always gray or brown in color,” said Biddle. “Sometimes, they would even paint over the chrome to prevent reflections that could attract enemy attention. Blackout conditions, which definitely would have been observed on Whidbey dur-ing the war, would also have mandated blinders

over the headlights as well.”The Ford was in poor

condition when they bought it, according to Biddle.

“We’ve been very fortu-nate to have many people helping us out with the res-toration,” said Biddle, who was at the North Whidbey Car Show last Saturday at Windjammer Park.

Biddle was handing out flyers and answering ques-tions about the restoration process and history of the vehicle.

He is a member of the PBY Memorial Foundation, and believes the ‘46 Ford will be a good addition.

“When you see war mov-ies, this is the type of car that would be transporting the commanding officer,” said Biddle. “The Navy or Army would paint the letters as you see them on the passenger door. A flag would also be attached.”

The ‘46 Ford will be dis-played in the parking lot of Simard Hall, (Bldg. 12), on the Seaplane Base.

Retired Master Chief Thomas Fardy likes to help

people.It’s something he’s done

as long as he can remem-ber, and now he’s hoping other people will share in his desire to improve condi-tions for children and families in the Philippines.

“It started with helping my wife’s brothers and sis-ters go to school,” he said. “Ever since then I’ve put as many kids through school as I can.”

Fardy, who retired from the Navy nine years ago, completely retired last year. Now he and his wife of 42 years, Melita, split their time between Oak Harbor and the Philippines, where Melita is from. Fardy is taking his philanthropy full time, saying he grew up poor and knows what it’s like for a child to go without.

He tells of moving to a small town in Iowa as a child. There was a chicken shop located just around the corner. He and his sib-lings would wait as crates of chickens were unloaded, hoping one would escape. They got to keep any loose chickens they’d catch.

“Inevitably, a crate of chickens would tumble

off the back of the truck and the door would some-how always pop open,” he recalled. “It just dawned on me not too long ago they probably did it on purpose. That was awful nice of those people.”

Perhaps it was that unre-alized generosity that made an impression on Fardy. Over the years, he has put family members through school and helped rebuild homes.

Fardy plans to rebuild a total of five home in the village of Salvacion, a barangay, or district, of the city of Iriga in the Bicol region. He has finished the first one, and as funds become available, Fardy works on making the hol-low cement blocks that will form the walls of the other four. Most of the homes have dirt floors and holes in the roof. “We build the walls literally around the old house,” he said. “Then we rip down the old walls and carry them out through the door.”

After the new walls are up and the old removed, they pour concrete floors. The homes are small, about 14-feet by 14-feet, but still larger than the old. Fardy estimates it costs about $2,400 for the materials to rebuild each home.

While the homes are important, Fardy concen-trates his efforts on putting local children through school.

Most of the families in the area are rice farmers who work for food rather than money.

“Education is supposed to be free, but the students have special projects they have to complete, and they have to buy the supplies for the projects,” Fardy said. “If the families are rice farm-ers, money is very tight. Plus, they have to pay for transportation to and from school.”

Fardy estimates it costs about $23 a week for a child to go to school in the Bicol region, or 1,000 Philippine pesos.

“If they don’t get an edu-cation, they’ll become rice farmers,” he said. “I can’t accept that as a fate for them. Without children, our world would be extinct in 90 years.”

Recent medical expenses for family members have put a squeeze on Fardy’s ability to help with school costs. While he is not look-ing for financial assistance, he is looking for people to donate items that he can ship to the Philippines.

“There’s a big need for good used clothes, shoes, first aid kits, antibiotic creams, hydrogen perox-ide, used VHS and DVD children’s movies and even small televisions,” Fardy said. “If someone has a 36- or 42-inch chain saw, that would put a whole family back to work.”

Fardy said he has found

it harder to get assistance as a civilian.

“When I was in the Navy I could get things done,” he said. “It’s not like that in the civilian world. I can’t just call Bill Gates.”

He said he hopes some-day to connect with a nonprofit group that can help him in his efforts.

His motivation, he said, is seeing a child’s smile and knowing they’ve got a chance in life.

“Money’s not important to me, except what I can do with it,” he said. “I do it because it needs to be done. I enjoy it. If more people would do that, this world would be better off.”

Firewood, Fuel& Stoves

NOTICEWashington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d bu ye r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a cord by v isual iz ing a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet . Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.To make a f i r ewood complaint, call 360-902- 1857.

“I started running for myself when I was in col-lege,” she said. “It’s some-thing I enjoy doing and it’s a great way to stay in shape. It’s a great stress reliever.”

Another first time racer was Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce executive director Jill Johnson, who completed the 5K.

“If ever there was a race to run, this was it,” Johnson said. “I wanted to do the Flightline Run at the cen-tennial, but I chickened out. I was still scared to do this one, but I thought to myself, ‘she gave her life — I can run three miles.’”

One of the oldest participants in the 5K was 74-year-old Claire FitzGerald of Lynden, who walked the course. A for-mer member of the Marine Corps Reserve, FitzGerald was there to show support to the McClung family and today’s Marines.

“I loved it,” FitzGerald said. “Getting my heart going and smelling the salt air, I loved it.”

New MATSG-53 com-manding officer, Col. Bradley Close, ran the 10K course with a platoon of Marines, who chanted in

cadence all the way to the finish line.

“Today we are honor-ing one of our own,” Close said during the award cer-emony. “I can’t think of a greater cause.”

As the runners approached the finish line, Mike and Re McClung were there to cheer them on.

“Way to go! Way to go!” yelled Mike as one by one runners stepped on the blue timing pads.

“Nice Run! You’re comin’ in strong, comin’ in strong,” called Re. “Woot!”

In the end, 17-year-old Matthew Reith of Oak Harbor finished first in the 5K, while 17-year-old Brian Comer of Sammamish took first place honors in the 10K. Top female finishers were 17-year-old Adrianna Royal of Oak Harbor for the 5K and 43-year-old Robin Canell of Longbranch in the 10K.

Also up for grabs were two entries into the 36th annual Marine Corps Marathon, which will be held on Oct. 30 in Arlington, Va.

“The Marine Corps Marathon is turning into one of the premiere mara-thons in the country,” said MATSG-53 Chief Warrant Officer 3 James St. Pierre.

Winners of the of the entries into the sold-out marathon were 30-year-old Analiza Entrikin of Chesapeake, Va., and 38-year-old Jose Flores of Marysville.

There was one other competition at Saturday’s memorial run. Those inter-ested could enter a raffle for a chance to drive a 2011 Porsche for a weekend. Use of the car was donated by Roger Jobs Motors in

Bellingham, one of the event sponsors.

The raffle winner was Christi Wenzek from Clinton, who won the same prize last year, but was unable to take advantage of it.

“We’re definitely going to use it this year,” she said.
