SECNAV visits USS Mason for biofuel RAS

By MC3 Janweb B. Lagazo USS Mason Public Affairs MEDITERRANEAN SEA

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy Joseph M. Bryan and Chief of the Italian navy Adm. Guiseppe De Giorgi, visited guided-missile destroyer USS Mason (DDG 87) to observe the ship’s role in the Great Green Fleet (GGF) initiative, June 16.

During Mabus’ visit, Mason, along with elements of the Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and the Italian navy’s Flotta Verde – Green Fleet – conducted a replenishment-at-sea (RAS) with an alternative fuel blend between Mason and the Italian navy’s replenishment oiler ITS Etna (A5326). This marks the first time a U.S. Navy warship received biofuels from a partner nation’s naval oiler.

“There’s really one goal – sustainability,” Mabus said, “There are also strategic goals to it. The main reason for doing this is to make us better warfighters and to make us a better Navy. It’s to keep the vulnerability away because fuel can be used as a weapon. It’s about having options before you get your fuel and what type of fuel you get. It gives us flexibility and it makes us better at what we do.”

In 2009, Mabus announced energy goals to reduce the Department of the Navy’s (DON) consumption of energy and reliance on foreign oil sources while ambitiously increasing the use of alternative energy sources.

“The RAS is definitely an important event for our country,” Mason’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Christopher J. Gilbertson said. “To be the first ship to receive biofuels from a counterpart na» See SECNAV | A7

FLEET FORCES COMMAND PARTICIPATES IN ARDENT SENTRY 2016 From U.S. Fleet Forces Command Reserve Public Affairs NORFOLK

U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) Command concluded its participation in the Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) focused Exercise Ardent Sentry 2016 (AS16) on June 16.

Ardent Sentry is an annual North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) exercise focused on DSCA scenarios to support civil authorities with military capabilities to save lives, prevent human suffering and mitigate property damage.

In this year’s AS16 scenario, a simulated 9.0-magnitude earthquake occurred in the Cascadia Subduction Zone followed by a tsunami and several aftershocks along the Pacific Northwest coast of Washington, Oregon, and Northern California.

More than 100 Navy reservists supported AS16 at USFF, contributing their

unique skill set to further help the Navy prepare for a natural disaster like the one in this year’s scenario and ensure Sailors are prepared to respond. Reservists served in mission-critical areas including planning, operations, logistics, supply, public affairs, medical, legal and more.

By fully integrating with their active-duty counterparts, the combined team of reservists and active-duty Sailors replicated a realworld disaster relief situation in which reservists would be called upon to provide additional support. “Following the initial 72 hours immediately after a situation like this occurs, reserve personnel are critical to sustain longer-term support and operations while enabling our active-duty counterparts to continue other critical missions,� current operations officer at USFF Capt. Gerald Murphy said.

Navy reservists at USFF and throughout the fleet consistently leverage both their military and civilian experi-

ences to provide support and help commands achieve their missions. “AS16 provided an eyeopening view on the magnitude of damage that could potentially impact millions of our fellow American citizens,� Crisis Action Team chief for AS16 Capt. Larry Watkins said. “It’s always been an honor to serve, but it’s especially satisfying to help right here at home.� “It’s great to put our reserve training to use in a ‘real-world’ situation while working directly with our active-duty counterparts,�

Cryptologic Technician Technical 2nd Class Dylan Harris

said. “It gives us a great sense of accomplishment when we can successfully come together to help our country during a time of need.�

AS16 is part of NORAD and USNORTHCOM’s annual exercise program and is designed to provide a highly complex, integrated training environment where the military can interface with federal, state and local emergency responders and practice their procedures and validate their processes. USFF serves as the Navy operational commander for USNORTHCOM during disaster preparedness and response and DSCA type exercises.

Sailors, Marines train for DSCA real world tasking

By Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

Sailors and Marines trained in practical application for real-world events during the Defense Support for Civil Authorities (DSCA) loading exercise (LOADEX) on board Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story (JEBLC-FS), June 14-15.

Sailors and Marines assigned to San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock USS Arlington (LPD 24), 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, Naval Beach Group (NBG) 2, Assault Craft Units (ACU) 2 and 4, and Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) participated in the exercise. “This week’s DSCA LOADEX demonstrated our rapid response capability, not just for NECC forces, but with other Navy and Marine Corps expeditionary counterparts who would participate in a DSCA response if called upon to do so,� Lt. Cmdr. Jerod McCully said.

The DSCA LOADEX is an exercise

that is designed to train and familiarize Sailors and Marines with rapid response capabilities following manmade and natural disasters, such as industrial accidents, hurricanes and earthquakes that affect both local civilian and military populations.

During the LOADEX, personnel and heavy equipment from Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement vehicles to bulldozers to humvees and other machinery were transported from JEBLC-FS to USS Arlington (LPD 24).

During the first day of the exercise 10 loads or approximately 1.6 million pounds were transported using landing craft air cushion or landing craft units.

The second day of the exercise forces conducting the offloading of the equipment back to the base.

Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Terrence Dickens believes this type of training prepares forces for real-world tasking. “It keeps us mission oriented and prepares us for any types of missions in support of DSCA tasking,� Dickens said.

Master Chief Machinist’s Mate Erik Johnson added that this LOADEX provided valuable training for students attending the Advanced Training Qualification on board JEBLC-FS. “It is unique to have students currently enrolled in the Advanced Training Qualification participate in this two-day exercise,� Johnson said. “When we have an opportunity to get well deck experience we take it.�

During the two-day exercise, Sailors and Marines practiced the loading of personnel and equipment on amphibious connector craft, transiting to an amphibious ship at anchor, loading the ship via the well deck, and debarking the personnel and equipment over the beach to simulate a short-fused DSCA response. By using this controlled environment, Sailors and Marines will have a better understanding of how to prepare for the real event if or when it happens. Additionally, the training validated the collective ability to respond in a timely fashion to a DSCA event.

NIOC Norfolk hosts Swedish Defence University students From Navy Information Operations Command Norfolk Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

Staff officers assigned to the Swedish Defence University visited Navy Information Operations Command (NIOC) Norfolk at Joint Expeditionary Base Little CreekFort Story in Virginia Beach, June 3.

The 12 students received informational briefs on how the U.S. Navy employs information operations (IO) as a naval warfare area.

“Cooperation with international partners is a key factor in successful engagement in all warfare areas,” Commodore of U.S. 10th Fleet Task Force 1030 and NIOC Norfolk Commanding Officer Capt. Joseph Finn said. “As our capabilities in cyber progress, we welcome any and all opportunities to collaborate and expand information sharing.”

The goal of the visit was for the students to discuss IO as a primary warfare area

dealing in doctrine, execution of doctrine, U.S. Navy’s present and future IO focus areas, and IO as a primary naval warfare area.

NIOC Norfolk personnel provided tailored briefs to the students about the command, intelligence support for IO, deploying IO personnel, and a brief from the Naval Operations Security Support Team.

“Our visit was more than expected; the breaks between briefs allowed valuable interaction with IO experts,” course director and head of the Swedish delegation Lt. Col. Irene Clement said. “Our Navy needs to improve in IO, but we see the U.S. as one of our most important partners going forward.”

The students’ visit to NIOC Norfolk ended a weeklong trip to the U.S., which included trips to other joint and allied commands.

In parting, Clement expressed her gratitude for the invitation and praised NIOC Norfolk and the U.S. military for the work they do around the world.

VISIT US ONLINE AT FLAGSHIPNEWS.COM!

The Swedish students are currently attending a five-week, advanced level, IO follow-on course at the Swedish Defence University.

The course aims to develop the students’ potential for professional activities as analysts and military advisors in military strategic and operational issues affecting both the national and international information environment.

NIOC Norfolk’s mission is to advance cyber, electronic warfare and information operations (IO) warfighting capabilities for naval and joint forces. NIOC Norfolk offers tailored tactical training across the optimized fleet response plan.

U.S. Fleet Cyber Command serves as the Navy component command to U.S. Strategic Command and U.S. Cyber Command, and the Navy’s Service Cryptologic Component commander under the National Security Agency and Central Security Service. Fleet Cyber Command also reports directly to the Chief of Naval Operations as an echelon II command.

U.S. 10th Fleet is the operational arm of Fleet Cyber Command and executes its mission through a task force structure.

Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG) entered the Mediterranean Sea June 13, in support of U.S. national security interests in Europe.

Eisenhower CSG ships are the centerpiece of the Great Green Fleet initiative, which emphasizes use of energy conservation measures as a key combat enabler to allow ships to go farther, stay longer and deliver more firepower.

Great Green Fleet operations in Europe will involve a multi-day passing exercise (PASSEX) with units of the Italian Navy’s Flotta Verde. The PASSEX will highlight energy conservation operations and will involve a replenishment-at-sea event, during which an Italian oiler will refuel Eisenhower CSG ships with advanced alternative fuel (F76 equivalent).

While the Eisenhower CSG is involved in Great Green Fleet activities and operations, the Truman Carrier Strike Group is also conducting combat sorties from the Mediterranean Sea in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, demonstrating the mobility, flexibility and power projection capability of the Navy’s globally deployed force – anytime, anywhere.

The presence of two carrier strike groups in the area of responsibility demonstrate the U.S. commitment to safety and security in the region; and provide a variety of multi-mission platforms, capable and ready for tasking. Two CSGs also send a strong message of support to our allies and partners in Europe, and demonstrate our ability to enable global operations that support U.S. European Command as well as other combatant commands.

The Eisenhower CSG consists of aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 3, guided-missile cruisers USS San Jacinto (CG 56) and USS Monterey (CG 61), and Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 26 with associated guided-missile destroyers USS Roosevelt (DDG 80), USS Mason (DDG 87), USS Nitze (DDG 94) and USS Stout (DDG 55).

U.S. 6th Fleet, headquartered in Naples, Italy, conducts the full spectrum of joint and naval operations, often in concert with allied, joint, and interagency partners, in order to advance U.S. national interests and security and stability in Europe and Africa.

A life saved in an act of selflessness

By AD1 Autumn Zawadzki Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

According to news reports, on May 16, while traveling on Interstate 264 in Virginia Beach, a Nissan Sentra was traveling on Interstate 264 Westbound when the car broke down in a travel lane. While stationary, the Nissan was struck by a Chevy Silverado, which caused the car to spin out of control and hit an empty Hampton Roads Transit bus. The massive impact of the crash caused the Nissan to catch on fire. The 31-year-old driver of the car, a 28-year-old man and a 2-year-old girl were rescued from the burning car by two good Samaritans. Unfortunately, a 5-month-old baby girl could not be seen due to the flames and died in the fire.

One of those good Samaritans was Aviation Ordnanceman Airman

Loreina Campos of Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic (FRCMA) Oceana. Campos, four months pregnant, was driving home from work when she witnessed a pick-up truck striking a disabled passenger vehicle. She immediately pulled her vehicle over and ran up to the car, prepared to administer first aid.

She attempted to open the driver’s door to help pull the driver out, but was unable to open the door.

She then ran over to the passenger door and with the aid of another person, the door was opened. As they were pulling the passenger out of the car, Campos noticed a small toddler pinned behind the passenger seat. By this time, the vehicle was engulfed in flames, which originated in the rear of the vehicle.

With no regard to her personal safety or the safety of her un-born child, Campos reached into the burning vehicle and pulled the tod-

dler, who was on fire, to safety. She ended up carrying the child to the side of the highway and remained with the child, who was struggling to breath.

Once the emergency crews arrived on scene she was able to give an accurate account of the child’s injuries and was lauded by emergency medical service personnel for her heroic actions before rushing the little girl to the hospital. The 2-year-old little girl lived four more days. Campos’ actions allowed, not only a mother to say her heartfelt goodbyes to her child, but a family to also say their goodbyes. “As a mother of four, I can attest that there is only one thing that I can think of that would destroy me more than losing one of my children,� Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Autumn Zawadzki said. “That one thing is losing a child and not getting to say ‘I love you’

to them one more time.� “What Airman Campos did was an absolute selfless act. It is leadership defined and a shining example of bystander intervention at work,�

Commanding Officer of FRCMA Capt. Joe Rodriguez said.

While being told about what Campos did following their summer safety stand down, FRCMA Oceana was completely and utterly moved by Campos’ reaction when

FRCMA Commanding Officer Capt. Joe Rodriguez called her a hero. Campos feels that she is not worthy of the title hero and was only doing her job.

While all of FRCMA Oceana was in a standing ovation after the description of her actions, they were called to attention as a tearful Campos was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal.

USS George Washington wins Battenberg Cup Commander of Naval Air Forces Vice Adm. Michael Shoemaker, left, presents the 2015 Battenberg Cup to the Commanding Officer of aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) Capt. Timothy C. Kuehhas, during an all hands call on the flight deck.

From U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Public Affairs

The Battenberg Cup is presented annually to the best all-around ship or submarine in the Atlantic Fleet on the accumulation of the crewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success.

HAMPTON ROADS

The U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) awarded four Sailors with independent duty Corpsman (IDC) of the year awards during the IDC Operational Medicine Symposium, June 13.

A panel of senior enlisted leadership selected Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Renee Hotchkiss as 2016 Surface IDC of the year, Chief Hospital Corpsman Javier Cortesmorales as 2016 Shore IDC of the year, Chief Hospital Corpsman Valentino Salazar as 2016 Submarine IDC of the year, and Chief Hospital Corpsman Ryan Gilbert 2016 Expeditionary IDC of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Winning this award is a testament not to just what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done, but the opportunities that I have been given to succeed as an independent duty corpsmanâ&#x20AC;? Salazar said.

Commander of Navy Medicine East Rear Adm. Kenneth Iverson, presided over the ceremony as IDC program office Master Chief Hospital Corpsman Lemuel Paalam and Senior Chief Hospital Corpsman Frank Maccarelli announced the awardees and retired Navy Medicine Force Master Chief Mark R. Weldon delivered remarks as the guest speaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Independent duty corpsmen play an integral role in Navy Medicineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to keep the Navy and Marine Corps family ready, healthy and at work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether delivering lifesaving care on the battlefield or performing minor procedures below the sea,â&#x20AC;? Iverson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without what you do, the Navy would not be able to meet its mission.â&#x20AC;?

Hospital corpsmen perform medical care every day throughout the fleet, but IDCs are trained beyond the average enlisted medical professional. Becoming an IDC requires an additional 12 months of training, where experienced corpsmen learn to function as the lone medical support when other medical personnel and facilities are not readily available.

The IDC Operational Medicine Symposium is an annual event that serves as opportunity for IDCs to engage with their leadership and peers to refresh their skills and gain hands-on knowledge to take back out into the fleet.

The Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Corps consists of more than 30,000 active-duty and reserve Navy hospital corpsmen that deploy with Sailors and Marines worldwide, in both wartime and peacetime. The rating is the largest, most professionally diverse and highly decorated enlisted corps in the Navy.

Navy Medicine is a global healthcare network of 63,000 personnel that provides health care support to the Navy and Marine Corps and their families and veterans, in high operational tempo environments, at expeditionary medical facilities, medical treatment facilities, hospitals, clinics, hospital ships and research units around the world.

The event was used to educate attendees on the capabilities of the treatment facility.

There were also displays on nutrition, food storage and handling safety for adults, in addition to a coloring contest and petting zoo for children.

“Many people, military and civilian, still do not even know that the Army has veterinarians,” facility officer in charge Army Capt. Jessica Dowling said. “This event is meant to show people that we are here, and along with our primary mission as caretakers for service animals, we offer care to household pets that is comparable to clinics out in town.”

The Army Veterinarian Corps began in 1916 with the primary purpose of treating horses.

“When the Veterinarian Corps was first created, the Army had a greater need to be able to treat horses that were used for warfighting,” Dowling said. “Our mission over the years has evolved with the introduction of military working dogs, with the significantly lower amount of horses used by the military.”

Since the corps’ creation, veterinarians were also utilized to inspect food and water supplies for troops to help prevent any possible contamination from impacting the mission at hand.

“It would have been easy for an enemy to take out a very large unit by purposely contaminating the food supply,” Dowling said. “It was our job to make sure we were getting healthy supplies to our Soldiers.”

VETAC continues this tradition and is broken into two sections: a treatment facility with six exam rooms, two operating rooms for military working dogs and pets of service members in the Hampton Roads area, and an office for the food defense team.

Those eligible to use the services provided by the facility are active-duty military, their dependents, retirees, reservists, general schedule (GS) employees under orders, and anyone with a power of attorney for a service member’s pet.

“One of the biggest jobs we do is screen pets for members transferring overseas,” Animal Medicine non-commissioned officer in charge Army Sgt. 1st Class Jamie Jackson said.

“These are just like the overseas screening that people get, but they can vary depending to the requirements of the country that the pet is going. We normally screen the pets’ paperwork and within 10 days of leaving the country, we do a health certification physical.”

The facility staff also offers routine preventative medicine services for pet owners such as annual exams, vaccines, spay and neutering.

The food defense team also plays a major yet sometimes lesser known role in the lives of service members and their families.

“We are responsible for inspecting every commissary in the area and more than 60 restaurants and food serving establishments in Norfolk alone,” food defense team member Army Sgt. Brian Thomas said. “Our job is to ensure the food being delivered meets contract requirements and meets health and safety requirements.”

In addition to inspecting incoming food deliveries the teams are also tasked with ensuring facilities are clean and up to standards. They even visit facilities of vendors that sell their products in the commissaries.

“We have a wide variety of responsibilities as veterinarians, veterinary care technicians, and veterinary food inspectors,” Dowling said. “Whether we are taking care of mission critical tasks or doing a routine check-up for someone’s pet, we take pride in being able to have such an impact on the lives of our service members.”

SECNAV | Mabus visits local ship Continued from A1 tion, and realize the agreement made two years ago so quickly is significant. Enabling our nation’s independence from foreign oil and providing a means for our ships to go farther and stay on station longer in support of our missions is critical.”

GGF is a DON energy conservation initiative that utilizes energy efficient systems and fuels during operational missions to highlight the Navy’s commitment to alternative energy as a key factor to combat capability and energy security. Mason recently demonstrated its commitment to energy efficiency by scoring above ship-class average in several key areas of energy efficiency.

Mabus commented the benefits outweigh any cost associated with the initiative.

“A $2.26 per gallon cost for biofuel is a competitive price,” Mabus said. “The engines won’t notice and it will be as if we were using traditional fuels.”

Mabus continued to say the side effects include “a smaller carbon footprint” that continue to make the Navy better stewards of the environment. “[Eisnehower] CSG is focused on energy conservation, whether it be mini-

mizing how many engines are online at a time, using newly installed LED lighting throughout the ship, or using the biofuels provided by the Italian navy,” Gilbertson said.

“It’s great to have that opportunity to be a representative of an initiative that’s going to be around for a long time.”

Mabus watched the RAS unfold successfully in the pilot house and adjoining bridge wings along with De Giorgi.

“We routinely operate with other navies,” Gilbertson said. “It shows our support for their aims, it shows our support for increasing their regional security, and it shows our support for the global good. Working with allies provides greater access to maritime domain, provides greater security in the world’s oceans, and allows commerce to flow more freely.”

“It’s what we do,” Mabus said. “Presence. We’re where we need to be and when we need to be there. We’re growing our fleet and we’re doing it pretty dramatically – 308 ships by 2021. We’re going to have that presence. We’re not changing the status quo.

Not since World War II have we had a dominant Navy keep the sea lanes open for everybody, not just for us, but for every nation on this

earth. That’s what the United States Navy uniquely gives America.”

Mason plans to make a port visit to Italy and hold a reception for several key delegates and representatives to further emphasize the U.S. partnership with Italy and its commitment to energy conservation technologies.

“We are absolutely honored to have Secretary Mabus aboard,” Gilbertson said. “It speaks volumes about Mason and her crew because they have a great reputation.

Secretary Mabus enjoyed his visit and will remember it for a long time. The crew has worked hard for this, spirits are up, and we are looking forward to making our first visit of the deployment in Italy.”

| Condrey will compete in three separate events, serve as team captain

GAMES

Continued from A1 Warrior Games, but he will serve as team captain for the Navy athletes competing this year. Navy Wounded Warrior – Safe Harbor is sponsoring and facilitating Team Navy’s participation in this year’s Wounded Warrior games.

“I look forward to the comradery of not just Navy warriors but DOD-wide and I am proud to represent my community and the Navy,” Condrey said, who has deployed 13 times during his military career to the Persian Gulf, Middle East, South East Asia, Africa, and the Balkans.

Condrey, who had never previously picked up a bow and arrow, began taking lessons in January, but is confident he will excel. “Archery is just as mental as it is physical,” Condrey said. “In fact, archery is similar to shooting, which I’m very experienced

with, so I plan to apply my shooting principles to this sport.”

He will also compete in the 400, 800 and mile-track events, as well as the 30-kilometer cycling event.

“I’m thankful for the opportunity to compete and represent my community, NECC and the Navy,” Condrey said, who added during the past two decades he has gained years of experience and mental toughness which will help him lead his teammates.

During this year’s DOD Warrior Games, athletes will participate in eight sporting events, representing teams from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Command and the United Kingdom Armed Forces. “I have worked with every branch of service throughout my career,” Condrey added. “While I respect and have comrad-

ery with the other services, the Warrior Games is a great opportunity to showcase our competitive sides.”

The DOD Warrior Games highlight the resiliency and warrior spirit of service members, veterans, their families and caregivers. Adaptive sports and athletic reconditioning activities play a fundamental role in the successful recovery and reintegration of our service members and veterans.

Condrey is dedicated to instill motivation in his teammates as they overcome the challenges they are facing.

“I enjoy motivating people to put forth their best effort, leverage teamwork, and accomplish their goals” Condrey said. “Competing in Warrior Games provides these warriors the opportunity to test their mental and physical abilities.”

ADM. GORTNEY RETIRES ABOARD USS GEORGE WASHINGTON From USS George Washington Public Affairs NORFOLK

Adm. Bill Gortney retired aboard the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73) during a ceremony held on the ship’s flight deck, June 13.

The ceremony marked the end of Gortney’s 39 years of military service.

“I must open with a deep ‘thank you’ to the crew of the USS George Washington and their captain,” Gortney said.

“To be able to conduct this time-honored ceremony on the deck of a warship which I spent most of my career means so much, not just to me, but to my Navy family.”

During his career Gortney amassed more than 5,360 mishap-free flight hours, completed 1,265 carrier-arrested landings and commanded at various levels throughout the Navy. Gortney served as Commander of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, and also commanded forces in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, providing support to maritime security operations and combat operations for Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. He most recently served as Commander of North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command.

“I am honored to have served with the very best of the youth of America, represented by the Sailors and Marines who surround us today and who represent all the Sailors, Marines, Soldiers, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen and civilians I had the opportunity to work with,” Gortney said. “The retirement ceremony is about us, the Navy – an honorable and noble profession. This is not my retirement,

but a ceremony honoring the Navy, the professionalism and the families that make the Navy great.”

During the ceremony Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John M. Richardson awarded Sherry Gortney, wife of Bill Gortney with the Distinguished Public Service Award for her service and support to military members and their families.

“No one accomplishes this alone; we are all supported by a strong team at sea and at home,” Richardson said. “Sherry, like Bill, you too have made a life of public service. This is a celebration for all of us, but no one more than you. You have made a tremendous impact on our Sailors and our families.”

Washington’s home port is Naval Station Norfolk after serving seven years in Yokosuka, Japan, as the Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier.

exam for culinary classes Continued from A1 final round, students were given one hour with their basket of ingredients to create a dessert.

Chef Shannon Knittle is the instructor for Culinary Level 1 and Level 2 classes started the Chopped Competition at Granby High School four years ago. Every year it becomes more intense with more complex ingredients than the last.

The prizes for the winner change every year and range from movie tickets and restaurant gift cards to cutting boards and Chef’s knives. This year, the winner received a set of culinary utensils.

Culinary Specialist 1st Class Hilbert Smith, Culinary Specialist 2nd Class

Armeshia Matthews, Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Derrick Mccleandon, Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Ileene Davis and Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Marrion Ashlock from NAVSTA Norfolk were the judges for the competition.

After the NAVSTA Norfolk Sailors taste tested the four competitor’s entrees they collaborated together to decide who would be chopped from the competition before the next round, dessert.

“A huge thank you to Command Master Chief [William] Caraballo for his assistance with getting volunteers to judge the completion,” Knittle said. “It is great to have the guest judges here from Naval Station. They were extremely professional and provided the students with many great tips and advice.

BHIP is BUMED’s program of record designed to seamlessly integrate mental health care into the Medical Home Port (MHP). MHP was mandated in 2010 to focus on readily accessible, comprehensive and patient-centered care for eligible enrollees across the DOD. The BHIP-MHP program is working to address any unmet mental health and health-behavior needs of activeduty service members, veterans, their families, and other eligible enrollees by increasing access to mental health care and health-behavior services in the primary care setting.

IBHCs are credentialed psychologists and social workers who are integrated into primary care facilities throughout the Navy in accordance with both DOD and BUMED instruction. This framework allows patients to access same-day mental and behavioral health support near home and work and in their familiar medical home setting without requiring a referral.

In 2015, BUMED asked NMCPHC’s HA to conduct a program evaluation of IBHC utilization within BHIP. Part of the evaluation involved two HA representatives attending a Tri-Service IBHC training to identify underdeveloped areas in the material that might contribute to a lack of IBHC utilization.

“Attending the training gave us a firsthand perspective of a typical IBHC appointment, helping us identify measurable process improvement points,” NMCHPC’s HA department epidemiologist Kathryn Pelchy said.

After attending the training and ana-

Hugh Cox U.S. Navy Surgeon General and Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Vice Adm. Matthew L. Nathan shares a few words with Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center department head for Health Promotion and Wellness Lt. Dawn Whiting.

lyzing their observations, the HA representatives made several recommendations to help improve the effectiveness of the IBHC training program. Some of these recommendations – including decisions on policy, staffing, workload documentation, Primary Care Manager (PCM) education, and IBHC training – were immediately implemented by BUMED. “Our recommendations directly impacted the program by enhancing education surrounding IBHC functions,” NMCPHC epidemiologist and training representative Anna Carrol said. “This understanding has increased IBHC utilization, enhancing access to key mental health services across the enterprise.”

While the project is still ongoing, NMCPHC’s health analysis department is optimistic that further evaluation will strengthen the BHIP-MHP program in the long term.

“This assessment was the first step [in] an ongoing effort to support process improvement efforts for the BHIP program,” NMCPHC HA communications lead Jenny Snyder said. “We look forward to continuing our efforts to enhance behavioral health care across Navy Medicine.”

GERMAN SAILOR NAVIGATES AMERICAN WARSHIP

MC2 Timothy Schumaker Kapitnleutnant Anika Herrmann is the first German female sailor to be sent to the U.S. Navy as part of the Personnel Exchange Program. She is the navigator aboard the Ticonderoga class-guided-missile cruiser USS Hue City (CG 66), homeported at Naval Station Mayport, Florida.

USS JOHN C. STENNIS HOSTS INDIAN LNO

By MC2 Jonathan Jiang USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Public Affairs PHILIPPINE SEA

Aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) Sailors hosted a naval liaison officer (LNO) from the Indian navy during Malabar 2016, June 17.

A trilateral maritime exercise, Malabar is designed to enhance dynamic cooperation between the Indian navy, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) and U.S. Navy forces in the Indo-Asia-Pacific.

Indian navy Deepak-class fleet tanker INS Shakti (A57) Principal Medical Officer Lt. Cmdr. Himanshu-Kumar Singh toured John C. Stennis’ Medical Department and observed shipboard operations during a group sail exercise with the ships of the Stennis Strike Group, the Indian navy and JMSDF. “Everyone is so friendly,” Singh said. “I mainly visited the Medical Department, and it was as good as a traditional hospital.”

Singh is the first foreign medical officer to visit Stennis as an LNO this deployment.

“This has been a great opportunity for our whole department, to be able to have him come and see what we do and share his experiences,” Stennis’ Senior Medical Officer Lt. Cmdr. Timothy Burkhart said.

During Malabar 2016, the three navies trained together in areas such as: maritime patrol and reconnaissance operations; surface and anti-submarine warfare; medical; and visit, board, search and seizure operations.

“It’s a really fruitful exercise,” Singh said. “We get to know about the culture and working philosophy of different navies.”

Providing a ready force supporting security and stability in the Indo-Asia-Pacific, Stennis is operating as part of the Great Green Fleet on a regularly scheduled U.S. 7th Fleet deployment.

“The current IPAL course is the sixteenth resident [session] to be held,” IPAL’s lead instructor Paul Roarke said. “It is the first of two resident courses that NITC hosts each year.”

IPAL is also held abroad, providing sessions in participating allied countries and modifying them for current events.

“We recently went to Antigua and developed a unique 4-hour package on Force Protection,” Roarke said.

Sailors have their own language. There are things only people who have navigated rough seas can communicate to each other, and a foreign sailor stationed on a ship homeported at Naval Station Mayport, Florida, is no exception.

Kapitanleutnant Anika Herrmann has been the navigator aboard Ticonderogaclass guided-missile cruiser USS Hue City (CG-66) since June 2014, and is the first female German sailor to be sent to the U.S. as part of the Personnel Exchange Program (PEP).

PEP lets selected Sailors make a onefor-one exchange with personnel from another military service or foreign service. The program’s objective is to integrate participants into the host country’s military, as though they belonged to the service to which they become assigned.

It also enhances international and interservice relationships by providing exchange opportunities for officers and enlisted personnel.

Herrmann found out about the program from the executive officer of her previous German ship, who had taken part in the program and served in Norfolk in the mid-2000s.

“I didn’t know I could go abroad before he told me about his experiences in Norfolk, and I decided to apply,” Herrmann said. “They compared the applicants’ language skills, fitness reports and evaluations, and I was selected.”

Herrmann was initially intimidated about becoming a part of a foreign navy when she first reported to Hue City in 2013, especially since her accent was so thick. However, nothing stopped her from getting to work right away.

“Language barriers were a huge thing in the beginning, but it’s something I overcame quickly,” Herrmann said. “I didn’t have time to feel awkward or alone on board, because I was involved in the command almost immediately.”

Herrmann was selected to be Hue City’s navigator when the prospective relief was medically disqualified from sea duty, so she was consequently sent to get qualified at the Navy’s navigation school in Rhode Island.

Commanding Officer of Hue City Capt. Daniel Gillen is grateful to have been able to serve with her.

“She has been a pleasure to work with,” Gillen said. “She is highly professional, experienced in maritime operations, and was able to enhance our ship with her experiences in the German navy. She easily blended into the wardroom, was fully integrated into our operations, and led a critical division.”

Chief Quartermaster Brissetta Gunner, who works with Herrmann in navigation division, said there’s minimal disparity between working with her or any other American division officer.

“There is no difference,” Gunner said.

“Her biggest hurdle was understanding some of our terms that were used on board and during general conversations.

She was a quick learner.”

After a brief time of adjusting to the ship, she took on all established responsibilities of a division officer (DIVO) in the U.S. Navy.

“I am the first female that Germany has sent to the U.S. Navy, as well as the

A. Nothing! Military Housing will not use a credit report to qualify you for housing.

Back to bored and barefoot Stock photo

By Lisa Smith Molinari Military spouse contributor

Tying the laces of my red Converse, which did not quite match my pink polyester haltertop, I couldn’t contain my excitement. It was a hot summer day in 1975, and I was going to the pool.

My Kool-Aid backpack – bought with collected labels and saved allowance – was stuffed with my bathing suit, a beach towel, a rainbow headband with a really cool transparent visor, and enough coins to buy a raspberry snow cone at the snack bar.

My mother agreed to drop me off after setting her hair, and I couldn’t wait to get out of our neighborhood. Since school let out a few weeks prior, I’d had enough running through sprinklers and playing with Baby Tender Love to last an eternity. Mom put a scarf over her pink plastic rollers, applied a bit of orange lipstick, and we were off.

Unbelted in the front seat of our station wagon, I craned my neck out the window to escape the smoke of her Tareyton 100s. It was the 1970s after all. Everyone’s mom lit up back then. Even if they didn’t show it on TV, it was assumed that Shirley Partridge and Ann Romano hadn’t kicked the habit, and Caroline Ingalls was probably puffing Charles’ elm pipe while he was off fishing with Half-pint.

Hues Corporation’s “Rock the Boat” crackled on the radio as we pulled up the pool entrance. As I slammed the simulated-woodpaneled door, my mother called, “See you at

four-o-clock Dumpling!”

That day, I perfected my underwater handstand, braved the high dive, made a friend, got whistled at for running, and found a dime.

By the time mom picked me up, my skin was wrinkled and I was seeing chlorine rainbows around every light.

The next day, I was back to sprinklers and Baby Tender Love. Aside from a week at church camp and a visit from my cousins, my summer was a continuously running loop of the same activities – popsicles, sprinklers, bare feet, pools, dolls, fireflies, and many minutes staring out the window, wondering what to do.

While I was bored and barefoot on those summer days, my mother had plenty of time to garden, nap on her chase lounge, paint with watercolors, can vegetables, crochet groovy afghan squares, and smoke Tareyton 100s.

Today, by contrast, summer is pretty much the same as the rest of the year, except hotter.

We set the alarm every morning for sports practices and driver’s education. We order books for school summer reading programs.

We register our kids for online summer classes.

We’re always late for music lessons. We throw dinner together last minute, we forget to put the car windows up before it rains and we never get around to dusting.

There’s no time to be bored because there’s too much going on. Halfway through the summer, we realize that we’ve haven’t been to the base pool. We never got around to doing that beading project we saved for summer. There was no opportunity to take a delicious after-

noon nap. That tomato seedling we bought at the base PX Garden Center has dried and shriveled from neglect.

When did the lazy days of summer turn into summer break at breakneck pace?

Why does it go so fast when it used to last forever? Why are family vacations so exhausting these days? Does anyone grow vegetables in gardens anymore, much less can vegetables?

Will I ever be able to stare out the window again? Is it too late to take up smoking?

The first day of summer (summer solstice) was June 20th, but you’d never know it from our crazy schedule. Summer used to be a time of relaxation, when the most difficult task was figuring out how to spend the day. Nowadays, a must-do-it-all mentality has crept into our family lives, robbing us of a much-needed break.

This summer, we should make a pact.

Let’s discipline ourselves to forget to set the alarm. Skip practice. Unplug the computer.

Cut up a watermelon, with seeds for spitting.

Turn on the sprinkler. Doze off while sitting in a lawn chair. Pitch a tent in the backyard. Grill hot dogs. Play cards. Catch fireflies. Lie in a hammock and look at the moon.

I know we can do it. With lots of hard work, we can be lazy again.

New regulation may open doors for mothers to donate platelets, plasma

By Victor L. Shermer Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash.

Mother of three and Armed Services Blood Bank Center-Pacific Northwest staff member, Tech. Sgt. Caitlin Alexander, has always wanted to donate plasma. However, 10 years ago, she was informed that she could not donate plasma until a human leukocyte antigen (HLA) test was devised. Thanks to a recent regulation change, she might finally get her chance.

On May 1, the AABB changed regulations to allow testing for the HLA, giving women with a history of pregnancy, a chance to donate plasma products. Like Alexander, women who had one or more pregnancies were previously deferred from donating because of the possibility that they had developed an antibody to HLA. The new regulation, however, will allow women who test negative to donate plasma or platelets. Women who test positive will be deferred from donating plasma products, but still allowed to donate whole blood.

“Being that I [have an] AB blood type, I know how important plasma is,” Alexander said. “But after my son was born I was told I could not donate plasma again.”

At the time, HLA testing was not available for blood donors.

HLAs are protein complexes found on the surface of most cells in the human body. They represent the primary immune-recognition factor for self vs. nonself responses. Each person has a set of HLA antigens that are inherited in genetic blocks from our parents – one block from each parent combines to create the whole antigen.

The body’s immune system produces HLA antibodies against HLA antigens that are different from its own, therefore, the immune system can be exposed to these foreign antigens through pregnancy, blood transfusions and tis-

Antibodies are important because they protect a person’s health by sticking to pathogenic substances, helping fight off infections and clear unwanted substances. However, in rare cases, HLA antibodies in donated blood may be harmful to some transfusion recipients.

Transfusion-Related Acute Lung Injury (TRALI) is the most harmful condition associated with HLA antibodies. TRALI is a syndrome characterized by acute respiratory distress caused by white blood cell sequestration in lung tissue following transfusion from a blood product that has an HLA or other associated antibodies.

Normally, HLA antibodies are not harmful

to the person who made them, but HLA antibodies can interfere with platelet transfusions by killing the donated platelets before they have a chance to work. For this reason, patients receiving platelet transfusions are tested for HLA antibodies.

Some people do not develop HLA antibodies at all, despite exposure, while others develop the antibodies after minimal exposure. It is not clearly understood why this is so, but people are most likely to develop HLA antibodies from pregnancies, prior blood or platelet transfusions or organ transplants.

To determine if the potentially harmful antibody is in someone’s system a plasma sample – the liquid part of the blood – is mixed with different HLA antigens. If there are HLA antibodies in the plasma, it will react with the sample and give a positive result, typically through destroying HLA specific cells or causing a color-change reaction.

While there is still a chance that women who have been pregnant will be deferred from donating, the new HLA test opens the door for women to consider donating platelets and plasma for the first time in many years.

For women like Alexander, that is a welcome and exhilarating idea.

“I can now be a regular plasma donor again,” Alexander said. “I am really excited!”

MOST awesome way to wrap up Navy Week Syracuse

By MC2 Adam Wainwright Syracuse Navy Week Public Affairs SYRACUSE, N.Y.

The finale of a Navy Week is designed to be something grandiose. It’s meant to summarize a week that has celebrated the past, present and future of the Navy and leave its host city with a lasting impression of the outstanding work Sailors serving around the globe do.

The curtain call of Navy Week Syracuse delivered on this design by bringing all the members of the Navy Week team together for a final show at the Syracuse Museum of Science and Technology (MOST), June 10.

It was a complete takeover of the museum as Sailors from different areas of the country, different jobs and different missions came together to educate the Syracuse youth in attendance. Right from the moment visitors approached the door, they knew the Navy was going to be the theme on this particular day. Waiting to greet them on the front steps was Navy Band Northeast’s Woodwind Quartet and, once inside, they also encountered Navy Band Northeast’s Acoustic Band.

Navy Band Northeast is a group of activeduty Sailors serving as musicians based out of Newport, Rhode Island. They perform an enormous selection of music ranging from the latest Top 40 hits to classical and patriotic music. By catering their musical selection to their intended audience, they’re able to perform and entertain a diverse range of crowds.

The musicians in Navy Band Northeast left their impact on Navy Week Syracuse by holding over 10 different performances throughout the city and several clinics where they worked with local high school musicians. These clinics allowed Sailors to assist them with their craft and spread information about the Navy’s musician programs throughout the schools.

Once you heard the entrance music and stepped through the doors of MOST, you were greeted by a slew of Sailors ready to tell their story. Among them were the Sailors of the Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Albany (SSN 753), who have been leaving their imprint on the city of Syracuse throughout the course of the week. These Sailors engaged with a different nonprofit organization in the city to give a little back to the people in the community who support them.

“The experience has been fantastic,” Chief Information Systems Technician (Submarines) Cory Shawver said. “The response we’re getting from the community and the organizations we’re working for has been very supportive and overwhelming.

You can tell that they genuinely appreciate us being here and it just feels great to be able to give back.”

Giving back to the community is something entrenched in the history of the Navy that still rings true today.

Another example of naval history still living and breathing is epitomized by the Sailors serving aboard the Navy’s oldest commissioned warship, USS Constitution.

These Sailors almost seemed out of place at MOST, but were able to provide valuable insight on the history of their vessel and give everyone a glimpse of what life was like at the inception of the Navy.

“The history of the U.S. Navy is something that’s important to share in order to paint a portrait of how far the Navy’s come over the course of its existence,” Chief Culinary Specialist Everardo Gonzalez said.

“I love coming to these Navy Weeks because informing people that typically don’t interact with Sailors about our history can only produce positive results. The more informed they are, the more equipped we are to carry on our traditions and execute our mission.”

USS Constitution Sailors successfully executed their mission to inform the people of Syracuse about the rich history of the Navy by speaking to over 500 students at several high schools, elementary schools and locations throughout the city.

In stark contrast to the Sailors sharply wearing the traditional Navy uniform from the 1800s, were the Sailors decked out in green digital camouflage and the high tech gadgets with them every step of the way.

Representing the modern Navy and the technological advances it makes every day were Navy divers and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technicians.

Throughout the course of the week these Sailors took the time to show off some of their gadgets – including the SeaBotix Remotely Operated Vehicle, a tethered underwater mobile device – and educate the public and participate in several training evolutions with the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Department. EOD Sailors even assisted the Sheriff’s Department with getting Navy Week Syracuse started with a literal bang, staging what they called a “Hollywood” explosion. The result was a 50-foot ball of fire erupting safely into the sky at the New York State Fairground, which provided entertainment value as well as valuable training for the EOD Sailors.

“Working with the sheriff’s department gives us the chance to build a relationship and familiarize ourselves with their procedures,” Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician 1st Class John Wise said. “That way we’re ready to react and respond if we get a call and lives are on the line.”

With both Navy history and the future on display at MOST, it was essential to have specialists on hand tasked with preserving both the Navy’s history and future.

Cope, assigned to Navy Recruiting District Pittsburgh Navy Recruiting Station Watertown, New York, was one of the Sailors tasked with this mission throughout the week. Her job is to find highly qualified men and women in her area to serve, so the Navy’s mission can be executed for years to come and it can maintain its title as the world’s leading sea power.

“Being part of a big event like this has been an incredible opportunity to get out and talk to people about the opportunity to serve,” Cope said. “Events like this assist us tremendously in educating the public about what the Navy’s mission is and the role they can play in ensuring the safety and security of our country for years to come.”

As the day grew long and time began to wind down on the event at the MOST, one of their staff members took a moment to ex-

press her gratitude.

“The Museum of Science & Technology is humbled to be part of Navy Day,” MOST’s even director Kelly Gardner said.

“We are grateful to be included in this incredible Navy Week of events and activities and for the experience it has provided our visitors.”

Navy Week Syracuse wrapped up when the MOST closed its doors for the day. With all the events executed and left for history, one of its organizers took the time to reflect back on its success.

“By bringing this outreach initiative to a smaller city like Syracuse it ensures that we are reaching as many people as possible, not just those in fleet-concentrated areas,” Navy Week Syracuse’s lead planner Ian Lundy said. “Overall, the city, its businesses and veterans groups were extremely receptive and it went off without a hitch. We are sincerely thankful to the city for having us, and for the Sailors that came to spread the Navy’s story throughout the city.”

Navy Sailors are stationed throughout the world, on ships and ashore, serving to protect the interests of the U.S. at home and abroad. This mission is accomplished by maintaining a forward operating sea presence throughout the world in order to deter aggression and, if deterrence fails, win our nation’s wars. They are defined by the Navy’s core values of honor, courage and commitment and are ready to respond if their country calls them to action.

Navy Weeks are events held throughout the U.S. to help raise public awareness of the Navy in areas that are not typically exposed to a large naval presence.

TEAM NAVY RECEIVES WARM WELCOME AT 2016 WARRIOR GAMES

By Shannon Leonard & Robin Hillyer-Miles Special contributors to Navy Installations Command Public Affairs WEST POINT, N.Y.

Athletes and families were officially welcomed to the 2016 DOD Warrior Games during a celebration dinner sponsored by the Warrior Games Family Program at Hilton Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, June 14.

Athletes from the U.S. and United Kingdom’s armed forces, along with family members and caregivers, were in attendance to kick off this year’s games which are taking place at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point. The evening included welcoming remarks from Semper Fi Fund Chief Executive Officer, President and Founder Karen Guenther and Fisher House Foundation Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Fisher.

“We are not here just to honor your role in recovery, but also your families’ role in recovery,” Fisher said.

The evening continued with dinner and messages from guest speaker, retired U.S. Army Col. Gregory D. Gadsen, with closing remarks by the 59th Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy Lt. Gen. Robert

L. Caslen, Jr. Team Navy competed in sitting volleyball matches on the morning of June 15, to determine the bracket for the upcoming competition for gold on June 21, but were defeated.

“We put up a good fight, but in the end just got outplayed. However, we never got shut out,” Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Shane Gilley said. “All of our games were close.”

Gilley credits Navy Wounded Warrior — Safe Harbor as a tremendous support system on his path to recovery.

“Being stationed away from any military treatment facility after my accident, things were really confusing for my caregivers since they’ve never been in the military,” Gilley said. “Navy Wounded Warrior helped guide the way for them and introduced me to adaptive sports.”

That evening, the opening ceremonies officially kicked off the 2016 DOD Warrior Games at U.S. Military Academy’s Shea Stadium.

Thirty-seven seriously wounded, ill and injured Sailors are competing on behalf of Team Navy this year. The Warrior Games were held June 15-22. Approximately 250

Naval War College examines ‘Strategy in Complex and Uncertain Times’

By MC2 Jared E. Walker U.S. Naval War College Public Affairs NEWPORT, R.I.

Students, staff, faculty and distinguished guests participated in the 67th Current Strategy Forum (CSF), June 14-15, at U.S. Naval War College (NWC) in Newport, Rhode Island.

The two-day event, focused on “Strategy in Complex and Uncertain Times,” served as the academic capstone event for students graduating June 17. It brought together NWC students with national security speakers from the military, academia, government and private industry to explore a wide range of national and

international issues.

This year’s event provided students with “an opportunity to connect their 10 months of schooling to something larger,” CSF director and NWC professor of academic affairs Michael Sherlock said.

According to Sherlock, NWC students were introduced to some of the key aspects of the chief of naval operations’ “A Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority” by participating in three panel discussions – “Lessons of the Masters,” “Successes and Failures” and “The Strategic Environment and Challenges for the IndoPacific Region.”

“CSF gives students an op-

portunity to step back and see the bigger picture, not only from some of the instructors that we had, but also from outside academics and professionals who deal with strategy every day,” NWC student and CSF participant Air Force Maj. Andrew Cook said.

Under Secretary of the Navy Janine Davidson attended the event and provided a keynote address that stressed future strategy and deterrence.

“We need a strategy that works,” Davidson said. “As I think of the type of Navy and Marine Corps we need for the future, I think about what we want that future to look like.

At a minimum, I think about what we are trying to preserve – our security, values and very way of life.”

Additional keynote speakers included: president of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments Andrew F. Krepinevich Jr.; Henry A. Kissinger senior fellow for U.S. foreign policy at the Council on Foreign Relations

Robert D. Blackwill; Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Robert B. Neller; and Cornelius V. Starr senior fellow and director for Asia studies at the Council on Foreign Relations Elizabeth C. Economy.

“Since CSF was established it has provided the opportunity for our nation’s public servants, leaders of industry, leaders within the military and world of academia to join our nation’s Naval War College student body and capture an event that focuses on strategies for America and its allies,” NWC President Rear Adm. P. Gardner Howe III said.

At the 2016 Sea, Air, and Space Exposition at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center, District of Columbia, six Sailors pitched their innovative ideas in front of a crowd and a panel of leaders from across the Navy, May 16.

More than 20 ideas were submitted from throughout the Navy, with only six being selected by the Athena National Council to compete at Athena DC 1.0. One of those six Sailors was Senior Innovation Think Tank Member from Fleet Readiness Center Mid-Atlantic (FRCMA) Detachment Patuxent River, Maryland, Aviation Electronics Technician 1st Class Mike Pecota.

The Athena Project provides an open forum for Sailors to pitch innovative ideas to improve their command or the Navy. The competition is facilitated by a panel of leaders from industry, academia, and government with expertise in bringing innovative ideas from concept to reality. Contestants have five minutes to present their innovative ideas, in a casual environment, followed by a five-minute question and answer session from the crowd.

The contestants are judged and the winner is selected by their peers, based on three categories: idea quality, action ability and presentation. The winning idea from Athena DC 1.0 received the Admiral Sims Award for Intellectual Courage and command backing for a small functional team to make their idea a reality by leveraging the Athena Network of scientists and engineers.

Pecota’s idea is to use additive manufacturing – 3-D printing – to design and produce a cover for the MH-60R Sonar System’s Transducer. His idea will be used to help alleviate the problem of the bumper of the MH-60R Sonar Transducer scraping the foam inside of the container, which causes the bumper to become lodged inside of the bumper assembly while being placed in a shipping or transporting container. This problem has caused a minimum exertion of two man-hours and an additional cost of $90 each time this happens. This innovative idea stands to have a minimum cost savings of $71,566 and 1,590 man-hours per year.

Pecota ended up sweeping the competition, earning the highest scores in all ranked categories and was awarded the Admiral Sims Award for Intellectual Courage by Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for fleet Readiness and Logistics Vice Admiral Phillip Collom.

ONR RESEARCHERS CREATE â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;HUMAN USER MANUALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; FOR ROBOTS

By Warren Duffie Jr. Office of Naval Research Public Affairs ARLINGTON, VA.

With support from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created an artificial intelligence software program, named Quixote, to teach robots to read stories, learn acceptable behavior and understand successful ways to conduct themselves in diverse social situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For years, researchers have debated how to teach robots to act in ways that are appropriate, non-intrusive and trustworthy,â&#x20AC;? ONR program manager Marc Steinberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One important question is how to explain complex concepts such as policies, values or ethics to robots. Humans are really good at using narrative stories to make sense of the world and communicate to other people. This could one day be an effective way to interact with robots.â&#x20AC;?

The rapid pace of artificial intelligence has stirred fears by some that robots could act unethically or harm humans.

Mark Riedl, an associate professor and director of Georgia Techâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Entertainment Intelligence Lab, hopes to ease concerns by having Quixote serve as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;human user man-

ualâ&#x20AC;? by teaching robots values through simple stories.

After all, stories inform, educate and entertain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reflecting shared cultural knowledge, social mores and protocols.

For example, if a robot is tasked with picking up a pharmacy prescription for a human as quickly as possible, it could: a) take the medicine and leave, b) interact politely with pharmacists, c) or wait in line. Without value alignment and positive reinforcement, the robot might logically deduce robbery is the fastest, cheapest way to accomplish its task. However, with value alignment from Quixote, it would be rewarded for waiting patiently in line and paying for the prescription.

For their research, Riedl and his team crowd sourced stories from the Internet.

Each tale needed to highlight daily social interactions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; going to a pharmacy or restaurant â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as socially appropriate behaviors (e.g., paying for meals or medicine) within each setting.

The team plugged the data into Quixote to create a virtual agent â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in this case, a video game character placed into various game-like scenarios mirroring the stories. As the virtual agent completed a game, it earned points and positive reinforcement for emulating the actions of pro-

tagonists in the stories.

Riedlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team ran the agent through 500,000 simulations, and it displayed proper social interactions more than 90 percent of the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These games are still fairly simple,â&#x20AC;? Riedl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;More like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pac-Manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; instead of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Halo.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; However, Quixote enables these artificial intelligence agents to immerse themselves in a story, learn the proper sequence of events and be encoded with acceptable behavior patterns. This type of artificial intelligence can be adapted to robots, offering a variety of applications.â&#x20AC;?

Within the next six months, Riedlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team hopes to upgrade Quixoteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games from â&#x20AC;&#x153;old-schoolâ&#x20AC;? to more modern and complex styles like those found in Minecraft â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in which players use blocks to build elaborate structures and societies.

Riedl believes Quixote could one day make it easier for humans to train robots to perform diverse tasks. Steinberg notes that robotic and artificial intelligence systems may one day be a much larger part of military life. This could involve mine detection and deactivation, equipment transport and humanitarian and rescue operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Within a decade, there will be more robots in society, rub-

bing elbows with us,â&#x20AC;? Riedl said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Social conventions grease the wheels of society, and robots will need to understand the nuances of how humans do things. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where Quixote can serve as a valuable tool. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already seeing it with virtual agents like Siri and Cortana, which are programmed not to say hurtful or insulting things to users.â&#x20AC;?

Riedlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s research falls under ONRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Science of Autonomy program, which explores human interaction with autonomous systems.

ONR celebrates 70 years of innovation in 2016. For seven decades, ONR through its commands â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including ONR Global and the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has been leading the discovery, development and delivery of technology innovations for the Navy and Marine Corps.

In order to be as inclusive as possible and reflect that all Navy occupations are open to men and women, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus recently met with his leadership team to discuss the serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enlisted rating titles review.

During the meeting, senior Navy leaders, including Chief of Naval Operations Adm. John Richardson and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevens, agreed to develop a new approach to enlisted ratings that provides greater detailing flexibility, training and credentialing opportunities, is more gender inclusive, and ultimately translates Navy occupations more clearly to the American public. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As we move to achieve full integration of the force, mirroring more closely the nation that we defend, this is an opportunity to update position titles and descriptions to be more inclusive and better translate occupation and skill sets to prospective employers when Sailors and Marines leave the service,â&#x20AC;?

Mabus said.

The Navy will establish a second working group comprised of senior leaders from throughout the fleet to study how potential changes to rating titles may affect related personnel policy issues. Results of that review are expected to be completed and announced later this fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an important opportunity for the Navy,â&#x20AC;?

Stevens said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a chance to pour a foundation that will last for decades to come.â&#x20AC;?

As the Navy implements several personnel policy changes as part of its Sailor 2025 program, senior leaders expect the results of this review to allow more flexibility in detailing Sailors, provide greater training and credentialing opportunities, and help Sailors become more marketable to civilian employers once they leave the service.

They also envision a point where some combinations of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rates, with similar training and experience, can quickly and easily cross into the occupations of other similar rates with a limited amount of additional training or experience. This has the potential to enhance career flexibility and detailing options for Sailors, while also improving â&#x20AC;&#x153;fitâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ability to get the right Sailors with the right skills into the right billets across the fleet.

The chief of naval personnel will lead the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s implementation efforts.

Throughout the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 241-year history, there have been more than 700 rating name changes for Sailors.

Secretary Mabus names destroyer after pioneering U.S. Navy Nurse From Secretary of the Navy Public Affairs

Navy Chief Nurse Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee was the first female recipient of the Navy Cross.

ARLINGTON, VA.

During a ceremony to honor women who served in the Navy and Marine Corps, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus announced an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer, DDG-123, will be named Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee.

Navy Chief Nurse Higbee, the future ship’s namesake, served as the superintendent of the Navy Nurse Corps during World War I and was the first female recipient of the Navy Cross.

“It is a great honor to name this ship in recognition of Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee,” Mabus said. “I have no doubt that all who serve aboard her will carry on the legacy of service and commitment exemplified by this pioneer of U.S. Navy Nurse Corps.”

The former USS Higbee (DD 806), commissioned in 1945, was the first ship named in her honor and the first Navy combat ship to bear the name of a female member of the naval service.

An anchor from the World War II Gearingclass destroyer USS Higbee (DD 806) lies in front of the Branch Medical and Dental Clinic located on Naval Station Mayport, Fla.

Mabus honored the service and sacrifice of women who served in the Navy and Marine Corps during a sunset parade on U.S. Marine Corps Iwo Jima Memorial grounds.

“This ship will be a part of our fleet for decades, and the legacy of Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee and her service to our nation will live on for decades through the ship’s voyages across the oceans, and through the lives of the crew who will sail aboard it,” Mabus said.

“Higbee’s professionalism, leadership and selfless dedication to her nurses and patients reflect the highest standards of naval service,” naval historian Regina T. Akers

Loren Barnes

said. “She and her nurses provided the best treatment possible often under some of the worse conditions. Higbee will continue to inspire all who learn of her courage, honor and commitment.”

Arleigh-Burke class destroyers conduct a variety of operations from peacetime presence and crisis response to sea control and power projection. DDG-123 will be capable of fighting air, surface and subsurface battles simultaneously and will contain a combina-

tion of offensive and defensive weapon systems designed to support maritime warfare, including integrated air and missile defense and vertical launch capabilities.

The ship will be constructed at Ingalls Shipbuilding, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries in Mississippi, and is expected to enter the Navy fleet in 2024. The ship will be 509 feet long, have a beam length of 59 feet and be capable of operating at speeds in excess of 30 knots.

CNP VISITS GREAT LAKES SAILORS TO HIGHLIGHT NAVY PERSONNEL INITIATIVES

By MC2 Tiffany Robinson Naval Station Great Lakes Public Affairs GREAT LAKES, ILL.

Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) Vice Adm. Robert P. Burke visited Naval Station Great Lakes discuss with Sailors about the Navy’s future, June 16.

Burke, making his first visit to the Great Lakes domain since named CNP in May, discussed accession training as it applied to the future of the Navy with the leadership of Naval Station Great Lakes, Naval Service Training Command (NSTC), Recruit Training Command (RTC), and Training Support Center (TSC).

CNP began his visit at RTC where he held an all-hands call with recruit division commanders (RDCs), training support staff, and civilians at the Navy’s only boot camp. During his remarks, Burke emphasized his priorities to man the fleet; transform manpower, personnel, training and education; and continue Vice Adm. Moran’s trust, balance and stability initiative.

“Trust and stability are at the core of our transformation. We want to continue to trust and delegate down to the lowest level possible,” Burke said. “It’s also about balance. We want the Sailor’s expectation to be that the system will support their long term career objectives.”

Commander of NSTC Rear Adm. Stephen C. Evans, hosted CNP during his visit that included two

all-hands calls for the staff personnel of TSC and RTC training facilities.

“We are very pleased to have Vice Adm. Burke visit with us for his first time as CNP,” Evans said.

“His understanding of Navy manpower, training and education is an invaluable asset for our Navy and we are proud to show him first-hand how our basic military training prepares top-quality Sailors for service in the fleet.”

At the first all-hands call, CNP spoke to RTC personnel at Midway Ceremonial Drill Hall.

“CNP’s visit was an important one for RTC staff as we move forward with supporting and advancing the CNO’s intent for developing the Navy’s future Sailors,” RTC’s Commanding Officer Capt. Doug Pfeifle said. “CNP wants a system that focuses on empowering Sailors, modernizing policies, and providing the right training at the right time to our force. This new design is going to help RTC meet the ever-changing and evolving modernization of our world while providing the best quality Sailor to the fleet.”

CNP also discussed the Sailor 2025 initiative, a strategic roadmap dedicated to identifying programs that will help the Navy recruit and retain the very best Sailors. Sailor 2025 will provide the talent the Navy needs by following the framework of three pillars: a modern innovative personnel system, a deliberate and flexible learning environment and an enabling culture.

“It’s about being analytically driven. Finding out the needs, wants, and desires of Sailors and putting programs in place that target our efforts so we can afford these programs without making our budget go up,” Burke said.

Burke summed up his remarks by thanking the RTC staff for their dedication to the future and progression of Navy Sailors.

“Continue doing this work that you are doing here. It’s just so impressive to be out on our ships and to see how motivated our Sailors are, being proud of the things they do and excited about showing it to you. They are making a difference, and you are making it possible for them to make that difference, so thank you very much for what you do.”

NSTC oversees 98 percent of initial officer and enlisted accessions training for the Navy, as well as, overseeing the Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps at more than 160 colleges and universities, Officer Training Command at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island, and Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps and Navy National Defense Cadet Corps citizenship development programs at more than 600 high schools worldwide.

“We look forward to providing our many capabilities to support Operation Inherent Resolve,” Commodore of the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group Capt. Keith Moore said. “Our Navy [and] Marine Corps team here on Boxer, along with the outstanding Sailors aboard Harry S. Truman in the Med, are ready to support all OIR missions.

ranean and the Arabian Gulf demonstrates the range of capacity of the modern Navy and Marine Corps,” Commanding Officer of the 13th MEU Marine Col. Anthony Henderson said.

“The conduct of air strikes supporting Iraqi Security Force operations against ISIL reflects the multiple capabilities the global ARG [and] MEU team brings to the theater.”

Truman Carrier Strike Group (CSG) began combat sorties from the eastern Mediterranean Sea on June 3, in support of OIR over Syria and Iraq. The CSG transited the Suez Canal June 2, after conducting operations in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility since Dec. 14, 2015. The strike group’s deployment was extended to support dismantling and rolling back the ISIL terrorist network from the U.S. 6th Fleet

area of responsibility before it will return home to Norfolk.

The Boxer ARG arrived in U.S. 5th Fleet on April 5. Consisting of more than 4,500 Sailors and Marines, the Boxer ARG and 13th MEU is composed of the command ship USS Boxer (LHD 4), amphibious transport dock USS New Orleans (LPD 18) and amphibious dock landing ship USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49).

In addition to naval aviation missions against ISIL in support of OIR, the Marines and Sailors of Boxer ARG team are supporting theater security cooperation efforts and conducting maritime security operations throughout U.S. 5th Fleet.

The U.S. 5th Fleet’s area of responsibility encompasses about 2.5 million square miles of the Middle East’s maritime reaches and includes the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea, Gulf of Oman, Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea and parts of the Indian Ocean.

The objective of the program is to instruct international participants in leadership and professional military subjects to improve existing skills and gain a greater understanding of challenges military leaders across the world face. The course also provides them with knowledge for potential future advancement within their respective country’s military.

“Ranging from ranks E-5 to O-3 and encompassing all military services from more than 60 countries, IPAL is available to personnel with ranks equivalent to that of U.S. senior enlisted to junior officers,” Roarke said. “In this class alone we have students from Madagascar, Kosovo, Samoa, Saint Vincent, Nigeria, Slovak Republic and Trinidad [and] Tobago.”

The general topics covered in IPAL include public speaking, personality profiling, time management, instructor training, subordinate mentorship and counseling. Professional military topics such as rules of engagement, international law, Law of Armed Conflict and human rights are taught as well and coincide with important personnel issues such as sexual harassment, military discipline and equal opportunity.

Students engage in both classroom lecture and hands on exercises in order to gain a better understanding of the subjects they are taught.

To facilitate a hands-on leadership experience, significant emphasis is placed on physical training varying from standard morning exercise routines three times a week to a Leadership Reaction Course (LRC) located on base that students go to two times a week. As the only training program under NITC that uses the LRC, the students spend a total of 14 hands-on class hours using various tools to work through multiple types of physical obstacles such as walls and bridges. The goal of the LRC is to simulate “realworld” scenarios they may encounter in the field to develop teamwork and small unit leadership.

Leading Writer Latoya Sobion-Philanders from the Trinidad and Tobago coast guard explained she has a great appreciation for being given the opportunity to attend the IPAL course and has enjoyed working with other military personnel from around the world.

“Meeting people from different walks of life and having open and receptive discussions has been my favorite part of the program so far,” Sobion-Philanders said. “It allows me to see things through a different lens and experience the way other people view things, which is great.”

“I am very proud of our program, instructors, and graduates, and how much they accomplish,” Roarke said. “Our ultimate goal with the IPAL course is that it will help transform our students into more effective leaders, who will then return home with an enhanced set of leadership skills.”

PEP | Sailors interested in program should contact their detailer Continued from B1 first qualified German navigator aboard an American warship,” Herrmann said. “It’s a unique situation, but I do everything a navigator and division officer does. I teach young officers, undergo [Afloat Training Group] inspections, get Sailors qualified, review leave chits, take part in captain’s mast and so on.”

Herrmann believes the Navy part of the experience was the easiest part of the transition stateside, with more mundane tasks being rather complicated for her.

“A gray ship is a gray ship,” Herrmann said. “A large part of what we do as Sailors is about the same no matter where you go.

The smaller things, like getting a driver’s license and buying a car were much more challenging for me.”

Serving on an American warship hasn’t precluded Herrmann from gaining rank or getting qualified. She was recently promoted to the equivalent of the U.S. Navy’s lieutenant in a phone call from a superior in Germany. Herrmann was also pinned as a surface warfare officer, a qualification she will be authorized to wear on her uniform even after returning to Germany.

With her time aboard Hue City concluding in September, Herrmann urges anyone that takes advantage of the PEP to travel as much as possible while abroad.

“I wish I’d been able to travel more,” Herrmann said. “I traveled a lot, and I love Florida, but there is just so much to see in the U.S. I wasn’t able to see the Grand Canyon, and I already regret it. I would suggest to anyone that goes abroad to manage their time wisely to be able to see as much as pos-

sible and get to know people.”

Gunner believes that Herrmann’s time aboard will have a lasting impact on her and the Sailors she’s worked with.

“I believe she has been a tremendous DIVO during her time here,” Gunner said.

“She was organized, timely, and always thinking ahead. She ensured the division was successful, and that we made each of our objectives underway on time.”

Herrmann’s experience in the exchange program speaks to the core of every Sailor regardless of their home country. They have a commonality with each other and a certain language that can be spoken no matter what their native tongue is.

“Part of her lasting impact will be improving our Sailor’s understanding of other navies and international interoperability,” Gillen said.

The Navy currently conducts 208 exchanges with 20 foreign nations and 40 interservice exchanges with the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps and Coast Guard. Navy participants receive foreign language training, if required, and normally serve two-year tours. One-year tour extensions may be authorized.

Sailors interested in PEP tours should contact their detailer. A full list of eligibility requirements and application procedures is outlined in MILPERSMAN 1306-921.

“There are so many opportunities out there, so everyone should try to go abroad,” Herrmann said. “In civilian life after the Navy, you’ll never have the chance again. If you have the chance, go!”

1,000 quilts, many more hugs at the Quilters’ Guild’s biennial show this weekend

By Joy Vann The Virginian-Pilot VIRGINIA BEACH

Watch out, Virginia Beach.

The quilters are coming, and they plan to “Rock the Beach” this weekend during the Tidewater Quilters’ Guild (TQG) biennial show. More than 1,000 quilts will be displayed, and there will be hourly door prize drawings, daily silent auctions, a cafe and vendors.

What’s the best part of the quilt show?

This is, in essence, an art show, and nothing tops the art itself. “There are a lot of innovative designs,” publicity co-chair for the event Millie Johnson said. “People are using different, modern techniques with multimedia pieces like beads, paper and their own hand-dyed fabrics.”

Whom does TQG support?

The Quilts of Valor Foundation, based in Iowa, gives quilts to veterans and service members who have been touched by war. Locally, people make quilt tops and send

them Elaine and Les Page of Virginia Beach, who make about 150 quilts for the organization each year. Les Page, a retired Marine, does the long-arm quilting, the stage in which the quilt top, batting and backing are sewed together.

“A long-arm is a great, big sewing machine on a 12-foot table. To me, it’s a power tool,” Les said.

Quilts are given in formal presentations.

“At the end of the presentation, we literally wrap the quilt around them and give them a great big ‘quilty’ hug,” Elaine said. “We hope they understand that they have been made to keep them warm. We hope they will use them.”

Les Page served during the Vietnam War and said, “This is near and dear to our hearts.

It goes back to the way we were treated when we got home. We vowed to never forget. Quilts of Valor is the icing on the cake that allows us to do that.”

TQG also supports amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) research. Six years ago, owner of Quilters Dream Batting in Virginia Beach, Kathy Thompson, started the Hopes and Dreams Challenge for ALS, which collects

quilts donated by guilds and individuals to be sent to ALS chapters across the country. The challenge runs from Aug. 1 to July 31, of the next year, and quilting-related prizes are awarded to guilds and individuals. Some quilts are sold at events, with all of the money going to ALS research. Thompson, whose son suffers from ALS, cov-

ers the administrative and shipping fees. Kathy Kent, who works for the company, said they distribute more than 1,000 quilts each year. At this weekend’s show, the organization will have about 150 quilted pieces for sale, ranging in price from $1 for small items up to $500 for quilts.

“Though men quilt, too, for me it is like a sisterhood,”

the event’s publicity co-chair Lola McCracken said. “The artistry, plus the togetherness involved, has wide appeal.

We all share a love of quilting. It’s a community thing.

I began quilting with friends in Atlanta in the 1970s. Then, we put a quilt on a frame, four of us on each side, and worked together until it was finished.”

Now, she uses a computer program to design quilts.

From design to binding, a quilt can still take weeks or years.

“You select your colors and fabrics and put it together according to the pattern, sandwich it with batting and then bind it,” McCracken said.

A big factor is the amount done by hand, versus the amount done by machine.

McCracken, who has four quilts entered for judging in the show, has a queen-size quilt that took two years to make.

TOP TRENDS IN CONTAINER GARDENING From Brandpoint

Gardening is a peaceful activity that eases tension, reduces overall stress and promotes longevity. One longterm study found that daily gardening reduces the risk for both dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. With all of these benefits, there are ample reasons why people of all ages and lifestyles should start digging in the dirt.

You don’t need a big yard or lots of room to enjoy a beautiful garden. With so many options for indoor and outdoor container gardening, there’s no limit on the number of gardens you can have. Container gardening is a great way to color up a small space, add depth and height to your yard or easily change up the look of your patio.

No matter your skill level, enjoy the benefits of gardening with these container trends:

Foliage gardens Foliage plants are no longer just accessories for your small space garden. You can create an entire display simply out of rich, colorful foliage plants. Fountain grass, papyrus, vinca and grassy rush are all great additions for adding vibrancy to your container garden. Mix and match with various textures to find a unique display that speaks to you.

Petunia tower A petunia tower is a great way to add an unexpected element to your container garden collection. A flower tower is easy to make and sun-loving Tidal Wave Petunias will bloom all season long on a patio, deck or pool area. You will need only three Tidal Wave plants. The Red Velour have great color and texture and make a strong statement. Plant them with good potting soil into a 10 to 12 inch wide plastic nursing pot. Place a three-foot metal

tomato cage into the pot. The cage should be as wide at the bottom as it is on the top. Now slip the entire plastic pot into a glazed pot that’s about one to four inches wider, and voila!

Hanging baskets Hanging flower baskets bring your plants to eye-level, where everyone can enjoy their wonderful scents and sights. Add beauty to an otherwise dull porch, wall or rafters. Try planting succulents for a virtually care-free container garden. Petunias, calibrachoa and pansies also make wonderful additions to hanging baskets.

Combination containers Who says your container garden can only have one plant? Get creative and play with different color and texture combinations of plants and flowers. You can make up your own mix or search online for combo recipes by other inspiring gardeners. Mix foliage with flowers and use a color scheme to build a balanced and beautiful container.

Indoor container gardening Take your favorite hobby inside. Even if you have a small apartment, there’s no need to rule out house plants.

Find the best place for each plant, depending on their light requirements. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try different locations until you find the best spot for your indoor containers. For sun-loving plants, just be sure to place them on a windowsill for maximum light exposure.

With so many options and room for creativity, container gardening is a trend that’s here to stay. Tap into your inventive side to build a container garden that brings joy and wellness both indoors and out.

Foreman Field as it would look in September of 2019.

Courtesy of ODU

ODU’S NEW STADIUM WILL HAVE A GIANT ‘BIG BLUE MONSTER’ But how will expansion happen?

full story Read the full story detailing the cost of the stadium at http://tinyurl.com/hq9evx2.

By Harry Minium The Virginian-Pilot NORFOLK

Fenway Park has the Green Monster. When it opens in 2019, Old Dominion University’s (ODU) renovated Foreman Field will have what architects have dubbed the “Big Blue Monster.”

Initial renderings of the planned stadium renovation shows a 57foot blue wall at southern edge of the West side, featuring a giant Lion logo. It was named after Fenway’s 37-foot left-field wall.

“It will be a very unique, visually identifiable feature for the stadi-

um,” senior associate at Populous Architects Scott Robinson said.

Eventually, if the stadium is expanded to 30,000 seats, as ODU plans, the Big Blue Monster would rise to 98 feet, taller than any building in Norfolk outside of Downtown.

But that expansion likely would come with a monstrous price tag.

According to preliminary estimates provided by ODU, the so-called Phase II expansion to 30,000 seats would cost about $95 million.

The first phase of rebuilding Foreman Field will come at a rela-

tively modest cost – about $55 million – and will be paid for without raising student fees. That expands the stadium by 2,000 seats, from 20,118 to 22,130.

ODU did not announce the cost for Phase II when stadium plans were unveiled to the Board of Visitors on June 9, but provided a breakdown requested by The Virginian-Pilot four days later. Both expansions would cost about $150 million combined, not including inflation or the cost of providing additional parking.

That’s about $5,000 per seat.

The University of Houston, Texas, recently opened a new 40,000-seat stadium that cost $128 million, or $3,200 per seat. Tulane Stadium’s, Louisiana, new 30,000-seats cost $80 million, or about $2,666 per seat.

Q&A Will sight lines be better than they are at Foreman Field?

The slope of the stadium will be a tad steeper than industry standards, putting fans at the top of the stadium closer to the field. The stands will also make a slight turn towards the field at the 30-yard line, which architects call a “boomerang” design that will, again, bring fans closer .

The news isn’t quite so good for the 4,500 or so spectators, mostly students and fans from visiting teams, who will sit in the north end zone. It won’t be renovated in Phase I. Fans will no longer walk from the ground level up into the stands. They will take stairways, an elevator or an escalator onto a concourse, where concessions stands and rest rooms will be located, and walk down to their seats.

Courtesy of ODU A rendering of the 98-foot Westside tower, which outside of Downtown, would be the tallest building in Norfolk.

Will additional parking be provided?

Officials say existing parking can handle an additional 2,000 fans. Phase II likely would require a parking deck, but that issue was not addressed in this report.

NASCAR Sam Hornish Jr. admitted he was nervous racing for the first time in seven months, but he stayed positive and kept himself prepared.

Hornish Jr. marks his first start with victory at Iowa

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

NASCAR couldn’t have scripted a better Father’s Day story for the Xfinity Series race at Iowa Speedway on June 19.

Sam Hornish Jr., who hadn’t driven a race car since the season-ending Sprint Cup race at Homestead-Miami Speedway last fall, got a call on June 13, from Joe Gibbs Racing, asking him to fill in for Matt Tifft, who had a problem with his back.

Hornish jumped at the opportunity. He went to Iowa and qualified Gibbs’ No. 18 Camry in third place for the American Ethanol E15 250. Then he went out and led 183 of 250 laps to score the victory and become the Xfinity circuit’s 10th winner in 14 races this season.

It was the fourth career Xfinity win for the former IndyCar standout, and the first time Hornish’s children had been present when he won a race.

Courtesy of NASCAR

“It doesn’t get much better than that,” Hornish said. “I’ve just got to thank Toyota and everybody from Joe Gibbs Racing for getting me out here and giving me this opportunity. Got my wife and kids here, and it’s the first time the kids have got to be here for one of dad’s wins. I can’t tell you what this means to me.”

Despite his years of experience, Hornish admitted having some concerns about jumping back into a top-notch race car for the first time in seven months.

“I was so nervous on Friday getting into the car, thinking I’m going to make a mistake, and man, to go out there and win the way we did, I just can’t say anything more about it,” Hornish said.

Hornish said that even as the months went by with no driving job offers, he continued to prepare himself in case he got a call like the one he did prior to Iowa.

“I just stayed positive through the offseason and continued to work out and keep myself ready for an opportunity like this,” Hornish said. “I just feel so blessed and thankful to God for giving me the opportunity. A lot of people told me, ‘Are you mad about where you’re at?’ And I said, ‘No, I’m getting to spend a whole lot of time with my wife and kids and do things with them that I hadn’t got to do. If I get the right opportunity, I’ll go out there and I’ll prove it was the right thing to do to wait.’”

At Iowa, Ty Dillon finished second,

ahead of Brad Keselowski, Daniel Suarez and Alex Bowman.

Keselowski, driving the No. 22 Ford for Team Penske, started at the rear of the field as a penalty for an unapproved modification to the body of his car, worked his way into the top 5, but was not fast enough to challenge Hornish.

“We’re still trying to get our Xfinity program where we want it to be, and we’ve made gains,” Keselowski said. “We still want to be a bit faster, but we’ll keep working on it and I’m confident it’ll get there.”

Suarez, on the strength of his 12th top10 in 14 starts this season, remains atop the series points standings, 21 points over second-place Elliott Sadler.
