National program focuses on emergency preparedness

(Aug. 20, 2015) Sailors move away from a simulated fire on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73). George Washington and its embarked air wing, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 5, conducted a hull-swap with the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) after serving seven years as the U.S. Navy’s only forward-deployed aircraft carrier in Yokosuka, Japan.

Aug. 29 1916 - High waves force armored cruiser USS Memphis aground at Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, killing 33 men.

Aug. 30 1945 - Rear Adm. Robert Carney and Rear Adm. Oscar Badger accept the surrender of Yokosuka Naval Base. The Headquarters of Commander, Third Fleet is then established there.

Sept. 1 1942 - The first Seabee unit to serve in a combat area, the Sixth Naval Construction Battalion, arrives on Guadalcanal.

Sept. 3 1783 - The Treaty of Paris is signed, ending the American Revolution.

recently watched a documentary called, “Fed Up.” It was study on why obesity, especially in children, is becoming an epidemic in the U.S. The stories, data and predictions are quite alarming.

It wasn’t the first time I have heard similar studies, but there were new facts I hadn’t heard before.

One was what they called TOFI, which stands for, “Thin on the Outside, Fat on the Inside.”

Basically, even if you are that fortunate soul who has a high metabolism and never has to worry at weigh-ins but continues to consume a diet that is unhealthy, you are still at risk for some of the same health problems of an obese person, no matter how much you exercise. So you may fool the scale, but not your internal organs.

That made me think about how many say they are Christians on the outside, but on the inside they are hiding so much sin.

That is how I came up with COSI, “Christian on the Outside, but Sinful on the Inside.”

There are those who look Christian to those around them.

They go to church, carry a Bible, share Christian memes on social media and may volunteer at a local church. However, on the inside, they are in turmoil of sin.

Eventually, everything will

be exposed. Just because you are thin, does not make you immune from getting diabetes, heart attacks and other health issues caused by poor nutrition.

Just because you look like a Christian, if you are struggling in sin, it will show itself in the end.

Jesus states to the church of Laodicea that because they are CHAPLAIN'S neither hot nor CORNER cold but lukewarm, he will spit them out of his mouth.

They looked well off, but in the end they were NAS Key West depraved and Command needed to repent Chaplain (Rev. 3.15-19).

Lt. Ethan Everts This type of living is so distasteful to Christ.

So what does one do?

Repentance is the start, but it is not the only step. The other step is found in Jam. 5.15-16.

Not only should we repent before God, but we should confess to one another our sins and they in turn should pray for our healing.

When is the last time you confessed to a brother or sister in Christ your sin?

It is amazing how we become so ashamed and afraid like Adam and Eve did. We hide ourselves from one another, but when we do, we are driven deeper into the sin.

Nevertheless, when we confess

to one another, that burden no longer is ours to bear alone. We have someone to pray and help us as we recover and find healing in Christ.

I know this is easier said than done. Trust me; I have been in your shoes on many occasions in my life. This is why you must find someone who can be trusted and can help you. If you cannot think of anyone, the Navy has placed two chaplains on this island to help.

If you are the person someone confides in, you must learn to respond appropriately. You never know who it could be - a friend, coworker, parent or child.

Whoever it may be, you must be prepared to respond in prayer and not judgment. If it is too much to handle, be honest and find someone who can help.

In the end, it is a community problem, not just an individual problem.

If you are a COSI, then find a person to talk to because it will affect you in the end no matter what you look like on the outside.

If you need are need of a faith community, you are welcome to join us at the Truman Chapel every Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

If you are in need of chaplain care, please contact the chaplain’s office at (305) 293-2318, Naval Air Station Key West, or (305) 292-8788, Coast Guard Sector Key West.

Lumb remembered as a favorite bartender at Flying Conch Lounge From NAS Key West Public Affairs

B

ack in the day, a visitor at the Flying Conch Lounge might see aviators conducting carrier traps on the tables, playing Klondike, and swilling pitchers of beer and cocktails. They would also see Elizabeth ‘Liz’

Lumb behind the bar.

Lumb hired on as a bartender at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation venue in March of 1990 and worked the bar until her retirement in Lumb August 2010.

On Tuesday Lumb died at the age of 89.

Although she bartended at other bars in Key West, she enjoyed being in the company of the aviators who would gather at the Trumbo Point water hole after a day of flight training.

“She loved those aviation guys,” said Darrell Dye, the MWR director who hired Lumb.

She had an affinity for the Navy, most likely because her deceased husband was retired Navy, he said.

She also liked working at the lounge, Dye said, because it was laid back compared to the bars where she previously worked, including the La Concha. see liz page 8

preparation.”

NPM spans four weeks, covering a variety of ways Sailors and their families can become and stay prepared in the event of an emergency or catastrophic situation.

The Navy’s overall NPM theme for 2015 is “Don’t Wait! Communicate. Make Your Emergency Plan Today,” and will focus on floods, hurricanes and power outages. The project pinnacle is National PrepareAthon!

Day on Sept. 30.

In Key West, an emergency plan could be very different from anywhere else a Sailor might have lived because of the unique-

ness of living on an island.

“One of the major challenges for NAS Key West residents is the limited number of evacuation routes out of the Keys,” McBride said.

“Another challenge has been to educate our personnel on the dialing of emergency telephone calls,” he added. “From a base government phone they must dial: 9-911.”

In 2014, Florida had 2,655 flood-damage claims, the most in the nation, according to statistics provided by the National Flood Insurance Program.

When Keys residents evacuated with Hurricane Wilma in 2005, major flooding - with sea water up to three feet deep - occurred, flooding homes and vehi-

cles. Insurance claim payments totaled $208,810,412 in Monroe County, according to the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation Hurricane Summary Data, dated 2006.

Having a good emergency plan and knowing what to do should disaster strike is essential, because it isn’t always sunny in paradise.

“Given our unique and remote location, knowing what resources are available and how to use them and having a plan that brings that all together is a must for working through a disaster here, should one occur,” said NAS Key West Commanding Officer Capt.

Steve McAlearney.

to know what is required of boat operators before they embark on a commercial voyage,” said Cmdr. Michael Capelli of the Coast Guard 7th District’s Inspections and Investigations Branch.

“All they have to do is ask their captain.”

Whenever a passenger pays to be on a boat someone else is operating, the operator - “captain” - is required by law to have a merchant mariner’s license. If there are seven or more people on the boat, the boat is classified as a small passenger vessel and the boat is required to be inspected by the Coast Guard.

Captains of passenger boats are also required to have their license readily available to produce upon request, and, if operating an SPV, a certificate of inspection should be visually displayed.

If the Coast Guard comes across a passenger boat operating illegally and/or unsafely, the voyage will be terminated and passengers could lose any money used to pay for boating services.

Captains operating illegally are subject to civil penalties up to $35,000.

“You wouldn’t board a commercial flight or train being operated by someone who is unlicensed,” said Capelli. “People have the same right to be safe on a passenger boat.”

ometimes the smallest parts can cause the largest problems.

For technicians at Naval Air Station Key West, the small part was a switch that caused a massive casualty to the precision approach radar, taking a system integral to flight training offline.

The fix, though, wasn’t easy.

“When you have a massive casualty, you don’t know the cause,” said Ground Electronics Maintenance ET1 Ricky Reeves.

“You just have a lot of broken junk.”

The PAR is important because in inclement weather or conditions of low visibility, it guides pilots safely into NAS Key West.

“This is a blind man’s set of eyes,” said Reeves.

After three weeks of troubleshooting and refurbishing parts, the PAR was put back online by the technicians, saving the Navy $13,500, which is an estimate of what it would have cost to order new parts and have a contractor make the repairs, Reeves said.

ET1 Reeves tightens a new actuator switch into place on the PAR, which is used to guide pilots to the runway during inclement weather.

“She was extra special,” said Mike Hartley, hospitality manager and her supervisor until her retirement.

Lumb was more than a bartender - she listened, congratulated and, if she felt it was needed, lectured.

“She was the mother,” Hartley said. “They all

gave her hugs and a lot of them have kept in touch.”

Lumb served ensigns making their first carrier landings and old salts. She kept track as they rose through the ranks, including some who went on to become admirals.

A few of those young aviators also would one day return to NAS Key West as the installation’s commanding officers. She

would bartend at their receptions and welcome the commanding officer’s spouse and children into the fold.

A celebration of her life is at 7 p.m. Tuesday at The First Congregational Church, 523 William Street.

The family welcomes all who wish to attend to come and share love and remembrances.
