    h Annual Pig Roast

    By CHRIS TAYLORThe main supply ware-

    house at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island is one of the largest buildings on base and its also one of the more energy intensive. To help cut costs and energy, Building 369 recently received modernized

    lighting and heating.

    Until now, steam from the central heating plant made the half mile journey up the hill to the warehouse to pro-vide heat to the building by large fans across radiators. The steam loses energy mov-

    ing across the base and the fans use a lot of energy to move the air from ceiling level down to floor level.

    This system has been replaced with a natural gas infrared radiation (IR) system. The IR heats the floor and occupants directly, providing

    a more even and long-lasting heat that is more comfortable for the occupants. Because the natural gas is burned on site to create the IR heat, this is more efficient than the forced air plus steam system.

    The lighting systems for the warehouse have also been upgraded. The light fixtures along the storage racks have been fitted with occupancy

    sensors that turn the lights off after 15 minutes with no activity.

    These sensors will reduce lighting energy use by 50 per-cent.

    With safety in mind, the occupancy sensors provide forklift operators a 300 per-cent margin on braking dis-tance, turning on lights well before any obstacle would be

    in the way.Planned for later this

    year, all of the lights will be upgraded to LED lights, which reduce power require-ments by an additional 70 percent. Providing more light than the existing fluo-rescent tubes, the LEDs will provide a better light that allows workers to more eas-ily read part numbers and labels.

    By DEBRA VAUGHNThe idea came to Myron

    Brundage three years ago at a flag retirement ceremony at the VFW.

    The ceremony was held next to the Veterans Memorial a 4-by-4 foot white sign.

    It was sad, said Brundage, who now serves as post com-mander at Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392. I thought at the time, We can do better.

    And after more than a year of hard work and help from the community, they have.

    In late June, members of the VFW dedicated a new memorial, located in front of

    the building on Goldie Road in Oak Harbor. The event drew a crowd.

    The memorial features a curving red concrete walkway that leads to a black, metal silhouette of kneeling soldiers, flag poles and a landscaped courtyard lined with bricks bearing the names of veterans both living and those who have passed.

    When somebody gives everything, you need more than a four-by-four sign to say, Thank You, Brundage said.

    Materials were donated by VFW members and local businesses, including Tara

    Property, Koetje Real Estate, Concrete Northwest and Home Depot.

    Everything was donated, he said. I just kept asking people if they would be a part of it.

    The VFW Riders per-formed most of the labor, including clearing stumps, rocks and rogue rose bushes.

    Anyone who wants to honor a veteran or active-duty service member can purchase a brick and have it inscribed for $35 to $45.

    Forms are available at the VFW or online at www.vfw-post7392.org

    By KATE DANIEL The sun is barely peeking

    out over the horizon as Chuck Leavitt, a retired Army vet-eran, settles into his seat in the Disabled American Veterans van.

    Leavitt, who is legally blind, relies on the van to transport him and his service dog from his Oak Harbor home to the VA hospital in Seattle.

    He is one of about 50-60 veterans who depend on the free service each month.

    Van service is operated entirely by volunteers; and many have bowed out recently due to illness, advanced age or other obligations.

    Floyd Hawkins, Navy vet-eran and commander of the Disabled American Veterans Chapter 47, estimated hes had to cancel between four to six rides in July thus far. Most of those were cancelled because of a lack of available drivers.

    It imposes a hardship when we have to cancel, he

    said. When cancellations are

    necessary, Hawkins and his staff attempt to notify riders as soon as possible, but it can still be difficult for patients to rearrange care schedules.

    Hawkins recently penned an open letter to Whidbey community members and organizations, calling for vol-unteer drivers.

    The DAV currently has six drivers on board, though Hawkins said they need between 10 and 12 to ade-quately meet riders needs.

    Due to the volunteer sta-tus of drivers, the number of available individuals fluctu-ates, as does their availability.

    Hawkins said he is willing to work with volunteers to find mutually suitable times and dates; any amount of help is welcome.

    Hawkins began driving himself in 2002 before volun-teering as a service officer. He noted that the experience was incredibly rewarding.

    The van rolls out five days a week and makes approxi-mately six to seven stops along the way to Seattle, including Anacortes, Mount Vernon and occasional stops in Marysville and Everett. The first official pickup point is 6 a.m. at Haagens in Oak Harbor, though the van makes one prior stop at Leavitts home at 5:45 a.m.

    Home pickups are not the norm, but the van makes an exception for certain individ-uals like Leavitt who cannot drive and dont have a ride to the designated pickup point.

    Leavitt has been riding the bus for about four years, he estimates.

    All of his appointments, including seeing a cardiologist and dermatologist, are at the VA hospital in Seattle.

    Leavitt explained that he has a floppy heart, a weak valve, for which he takes med-ication and checks in regularly with the doctor.

    He rides the van two to three times a week.

    I could drive but it would be white-knuckle for every-body, he joked.

    If not for the van, Leavitt explained that he would have to spend the greater part of the day taking a combination of public transit buses in order to get to the hospital. His return trip would also be far more difficult, he explained, as the standard bus route from the Clinton ferry dock runs until about 7 p.m., but para-transit typically doesnt run as late.

    Although he could see doc-tors closer to home, he said hes been visiting VA doctors in Seattle for 18 years, and it would be a considerable effort to establish a new network of providers. Not to mention, hed still need to arrange para-transit transportation to each of his individual appoint-ments, which would likely prove more cumbersome than the one-stop-shop VA hospi-tal.

    I think the calibre of drivers is excellent, said Leavitt, adding that hes yet to encounter a grumpy driver or one with whom he doesnt feel safe. Its a pleasure.

    Aside from the occasional home pickup for vets like Leavitt, drivers make addi-tional accommodations for riders whenever possible, including considerations for sufferers of PTSD. One rider in particular, Hawkins said, needed to ride at the back of

    the bus in order to prevent anyone from sitting behind him and causing excessive stress.

    We try our best to accom-modate the passenger, Hawkins said.

    Anyone can volunteer, vet-erans or otherwise. Drivers must have a valid drivers license, a clean driving record and be able to pass a standard background check. The VA also requires prospective vol-unteer drivers to pass a physi-cal exam and attend training.

    Anyone interested in vol-unteering may stop by the DAV office from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and fill out an appli-cation. The office is located in the Veterans of Foreign Wars building at 3037 Goldie Road. Call 360-682-2945 for more information.

    By RON NEWBERRYAs the first pilot to deliver

    the initial EA-6B Prowler to Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in 1971, Fred Wilmot is as much a part of the jets history and lore as anyone alive.

    So when it came time to plan a commemoration for the Navys first electronic attack aircraft 44 years later, Wilmot didnt hesitate to get involved.

    At 77, retired and living in Oak Harbor, Wilmot had the time, connections and know-how to help set up a celebra-tion suitable for the occasion.

    A friend of Wilmots, how-ever, had bigger plans for the former Navy pilot.

    At an Oak Harbor Navy League luncheon in February, Joe Farina suggested how fitting the event would be if Wilmot could be a crew member in the Prowlers final operational flight out of NAS Whidbey.

    Wilmot didnt get his hopes up.

    I thought it was a great idea, Wilmot said, but I had kind of guarded optimism that they would buy into that because there are an awful lot of hoops to jump through.

    Four months later, Wilmot squeezed into a flight suit he hadnt worn in nearly four decades and set out on the Prowlers final historic flight.

    He had to settle for a back-seat ride, but had no com-plaints, as he was part of a four-member crew that made two flyovers during the Prowler Sunset celebration and base open house attended by about 4,000 at Ault Field June 27.

    After the aircraft came in for a landing to let Wilmot out, it flew away bound for NAS Point Mugu in Oxnard, Calif., marking the end of an era for the Prowler with the Navy.

    The Prowler will con-tinue to be flown by the Marine Corps but not out of Whidbey.

    Wilmot walked away, beaming on the inside but trying to maintain his com-posure on the outside.

    At times, he failed.Hes just over the moon,

    said Vicki Wilmot, wholl celebrate her 52nd wedding anniversary with her husband in August.

    It was kind of a flashback 37 years, Fred Wilmot said.

    A flashback to a time that he considered to be the high-light of his naval career, serv-ing as commanding officer of the VAQ-135 Black Ravens.

    Wilmot spent 28 years as a Navy pilot, including his stint testing the Prowler on the east coast.

    In January of 1971, after accumulating 300 f light hours in the newly developed aircraft, he was the logi-cal choice to deliver the first Prowler to NAS Whidbey by flying cross-country from the Grumman manufacturing site in Calverton, N.Y., to Oak Harbor.

    Forty-four years later, he was poetically part of the last operational flight with the Navy.

    Although he hadnt flown in a Prowler since 1978, he said it was sort of like riding a bike, though this time he wasnt at the controls.

    He had never flown in the backseat of a Prowler before.

    The toughest part was getting hooked into the seat, Wilmot said. It had been 37 years.

    Wilmot was assisted by members of the VAQ-134 Garudas, the squadron involved in the final flight.

    About three hours before the noon flight, they issued him flight gear, including a survival vest and g-suit, and hung him from straps in a torso harness to make sure the straps were tight in the event of an ejection.

    Its something they didnt used to do, Wilmot said.

    Wilmot still looked the part.

    I still had my flight suit from back when I was a skip-per, which I wore, he said.

    Did it fit?It was a little snug, but it

    still fit, he said.Wilmot said the experi-

    ence was exhilarating and he felt honored to be included in such an historic event.

    It all came about from an idea by Farina, logistics manager with Northrop Grumman, which designed and built the Prowler.

    The Navy approved.Everybody up the chain

    (of command) liked the idea,

    Wilmot said. It had to be pretty high up in the Navy chain to get approval to do it. I had to get a flight physical.

    The final flight was among the crowning moments of the three-day Prowler Sunset fes-tivities, which were sponsored by the Navy and Northrop

    Grumman and orga-nized and produced by the Whidbey Roost Chapter of the Association of Old Crows with assistance from the Navy League.

    The event marked the end of one era and the continua-tion of another as the Prowler

    has been replaced by the EA-18G Growler.

    It was a very special day, Vicki Wilmot said. The real thrill was our grandchildren got to see this.

    We had a lot of friends and family here. I just dont have enough adjectives.

    Start to finish: Pilot a part of Prowler history
