A

retired Sailor this week assumed the position of Naval Air Station Key West’s Sexual Assault Response Coordinator.

Boston native Jessica Kushon retired from the Navy in 2012. Her involvement in the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program dates back to the program’s start.

“I’ve been in the program since 2000,” she said, adding “I’ve been a military and civilian victim advocate for nearly 16 years.”

While in Kushon the Navy she

traveled extensively, visiting 42 states, 11 countries and spending time on five aircraft carriers.

She also is a veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom/Iraqi Freedom and Unified Response [Haiti].

After retiring, she chose to continue her work with the Navy’s SAPR program as a victim advocate and the SARC at NAS New Orleans/ Joint Reserve Base Belle Chasse. In 2014, she was a civilian victim advocate at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada.

“While there I gained invaluable experience working with all carrier air groups and TOP GUN,” she noted.

Kushon said her emphasis is going to be on education with a focus on preventing sexual assault.

The way it is

B July 3 1942 - A PBY 5A aircraft successfully fires the first airborne retro-rocket at Goldstone Lake, California.

July 4 1776 - The Second Continental Congress unanimously adopts the Declaration of Independence, which announces the colonies’ separation from Great Britain.

July 5 1862 - The Navy Department is reorganized by act of Congress.

July 6 1747 - John Paul Jones is born in Arbigland, Scotland. Originally appointed to the Continental Navy in 1775, he is known for his quote, “I’ve not yet begun to fight!”

July 7 1916 - Thomas Edison becomes the head of the Naval Consulting Board, which screens inventions for the Navy.

During his tenure, he visited Naval Station Key West.

July 8 1944 - The cruisers and destroyers of Task Group 53.18, commanded by Rear Adm. Charles Turner Joy, begin daily bombardment of Japanese defenses on Guam.

July 9 1960 - USS Wasp (CVS 18) departs Guantanamo Bay to support the United Nations effort to calm the newly independent Congo.

ruce Hornsby released his song “The Way It Is” in 1986. Twelve years later, Tupac released “Changes,” which used a sampling of Hornsby’s song. Today, after a week of radical changes in our country, and as we prepare to celebrate the birthday of our country, I wanted to talk about change, too.

Hornsby’s song speaks to the civil rights movement and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and then notes that when it comes to where a young black boy can go or who gets hired, in the 80’s racism persists.

“That’s just the way it is.

“Some things will never change.”

In the 1990s Tupac wrote songs about the war on the streets instead of a war on poverty. He mentions police brutality against blacks, gang warfare and the seemingly impossible struggle to break free of the cycle of violence.

“I see no changes, all I see is racist faces.

“Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races.”

In 1998 Matt Shepard was

murdered, which led to the passing of the Shepard/Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act, which was signed into law by President Obama in 2009.

According to a recent Washington Post article, the FBI says about 260,000 people are victimized each year by hate crime.

CHAPLAIN'S “That’s just the CORNER way it is.

“Some things will never change.

That’s just the way it is.

“But don’t you Coast Guard believe them.”

Sector Key West It is incredibly Command painful to think Chaplain that things never Lt. Cmdr. change and to Peter Dietz see the same patterns of destructive behavior and hate continue.

But things do change. When President Obama was born, segregation was allowed and discrimination was common place.

Forty-five years after the Civil Rights Act Obama became the first black president. Even Tupac didn’t think that would happen anytime soon as expressed in his song “Changes.”

Matt Shepard was killed for being gay; today same-sex mar-

riage is legal in 50 states.

In 1940, the United States was 90 percent white, today it is about 63percent; in about 30 years, whites will most likely be in the minority.

Things are changing and they are changing fast. It doesn’t matter if you like the changes or not.

They are changing and we have to embrace the changes or cope with the changes, and we should all be involved to help shape the changes.

Tupac wrote, “You gotta make a change.

“It’s time for us as a people to start makin’ some changes.

“Let’s change the way we eat, let’s change the way we live.

“And let’s change the way we treat each other.

“You see the old way wasn’t workin’, so it’s on us to do what we gotta do, to survive.”

Change is happening and some people are feeling freed and others are feeling threatened.

Many people just don’t undestand. They don’t understand why a particular flag has to be removed from the seat of government or why all people should be afforded the same rights and privileges. see changes page 4

Fireworks banned from base; Rotary fireworks free to watch

By NAS Key West Public Affairs While fireworks are often associated with the Fourth of July celebration, they aren’t allowed on Naval Air Station Key West property.

“NAS Key West instructions specifically outlaw possession and/or use of sparklers, skyrockets and firecrackers on board any and all NAS Key West

bases and facilities,” said Fire Chief Curt Krieger, NAS Key West Fire and Emergency Services.

The annual Noon Rotary fireworks display in Key West takes place after sunset off of White Street Pier and can be viewed from the Truman Annex beach, behind the Beach Patio Recreation Center.

Unlike previous years, the United Street gate won’t be accessible to

Sailors and DOD civilians wanting to access Truman Annex to watch the fireworks along the beach in the housing area.

“We are making improvements to the gate to enhance security,” said Public Works Officer Lt. Cmdr. Brian Crystal.

“We are still a monthand-a-half away from completion.”

The only access available is through the

main gate near the Fort Zachary Taylor gate.

Safety officials urge parents to closely supervise their children who may be lighting fireworks in those areas of the Key West where the activity is allowed.

Even non-explosive fireworks can cause injury, Kreiger noted. The tip of a sparkler burns at a temperature of 2,000 degrees, which is hot enough to cause third-

degree burns. More fires are reported on July 4 than on any other single day in the year, he added, and half of those fare caused by fireworks.

Other concerns over the holiday focus on motor vehicle and boating safety.

Navy safety officials urge motorists to drive safely and avoid driving if they are fatigued or see Fire page 5

he Navy Exchange Service Command released its fiscal year 2014 audited financial report which showed a $46.6 million contribution to Navy Morale, Welfare and Recreation.

At Naval Air Station Key West, MWR’s share will be used to support a number of quality of life projects.

“NAS Key West’s MWR is projected to receive $17,000 for FY16 programs and special events,” said MWR Director Tim Campbell.

“Additionally in FY16,

construction projects like the Youth Center addition and the new ‘Splash Pad,’ opening this fall, are funded by CNIC from these NEX dividends,” said Campbell.

The amount of NEXCOM funding to each installation is based on a number of variables, including local NEX sales and the need for quality of life programs.

“NEXCOM’s mission is to provide our customers with quality goods and services at a savings and to support Navy quality of life programs,” said retired Rear Adm. Robert Bianchi, chief executive officer,

NEXCOM. “Each year, we contribute 70 percent of our profits to MWR to accomplish that mission,” Bianchi added.

“For 2014, we gave Navy MWR $46.6 million from our sales.

“Shopping at the NEX not only saves our customers money, it also contributes to their quality of life,” he said.

Navy MWR uses the dividends from the NEX in a variety of ways.

Installations receive part of the funds for specific installation level MWR efforts.

The remaining funds are used for MWR capital proj-

ects to improve facilities.

“Our MWR effort relies on the dividend we get from NEXCOM to continue to offer a quality recreation experience for Sailors and their families,” said Lorraine Seidel, recreation program manager for Navy Installations Command.

“These funds are very important in helping us to upgrade facilities and equipment, as well as support the diverse recreation needs of the military community that we serve,” NEXCOM operates on the retail fiscal year calendar, which in 2014 ran from Feb. 1, 2014 - Jan. 31.

There is joy in this and there is fear.

Two hundred and thirty-eight years ago there was an enormous amount of change happening in this land where we live.

There were people angry with the British government, some who were loyal to their king, and still others who just wanted to farm or work and not be involved with politics.

But whether they were for, against or didn’t care, everyone experienced major changes that were very difficult to navigate.

Our country did navigate those challenges and became the most powerful country with the largest economy in the world.

We will continue to navigate with success these changes and the changes that lay ahead because we are a country that respects the dignity of all people. We work together and live together with people that are different from us in appearance, religion, age or gender.

We will continue to honor each other and continue to be the greatest country in the world.

If you are looking for a faith community, you are welcome to attend Sunday protestant services at 10:30 a.m. at the Truman Chapel.
