Soldiers ride for Wounded Warrior Project

By JANIS REID

The support and camaraderie during Soldier Ride helps servicemen and women with injuries overcome mental as well as physical health challenges.

“Cycling is my therapy, it’s my antidepressant, it’s my counseling, it’s my coping mechanism,” said Solider Ride alumnus Chris Crawford, who was injured by an improvised explosive device in Iraq.

“I am forever indebted to Wounded Warriors Project for this new-found treatment.”

Soldier Ride has become a healthy outlet for Crawford’s post-traumatic stress and inspired him to start a cycling group in his community. He now cycles more than 100 miles per week.

In August, disabled veter-

ans and their supporters rode through Fort Casey State Park in Coupeville. After the ride, event alumni headed to Cornet Bay for paddle boarding and kayaking. The following day, Soldier Ride continued on San Juan Island.

The rehabilitative cycling event brings wounded warriors from the region and across the country together for a long weekend focused on physical health and wellness, camaraderie and healing.

Events include a bike fitting, where they are fit with adaptive equipment, and two days of rides.

The ride provides state-ofthe-art cycling equipment for the ride at no cost to the warriors, which includes adaptive hand cycles, trikes and bicycles to accommodate various injuries and disabilities, as well as unmodified road bikes for riders not requiring

adaptive equipment.

Soldier Ride began in 2004 when civilian Chris Carney cycled more than 5,000 miles coast-to-coast in support of the Wounded Warrior Project. In 2005, Carney again cycled coast-to coast, this time with several combat-wounded veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Soldier Ride is a physical health and wellness program, which envisions a generation of wounded veterans welladjusted in body, receiving the care they need to maximize rehabilitation and live active and healthy lives.

Through peer support, adaptive sports, health, nutrition and recreational activities, the project helps warriors achieve independence and pursue an excellent quality of life.

Veterans participate in the annual Soldier Ride, a rehabilitative weekend event sponsored by the Wounded Warrior Project.

Wounded Warrior Project is recognizing its ten-year

anniversary.

Retiree gives back at Boys and Girls Club

By MICHELLE BEAHM

Jennifer Marzocca retired from the Navy as a chief petty officer in 2010.

Since then, she’s done anything but sit still.

Having achieved her bachelor’s and master’s degrees, Marzocca has been spending her time earning her doctorate in education, while working full time at the Island County Clerk’s Office in Coupeville.

She also volunteers as a mentor for the Island County Drug Court program and on the advisory board for the Coupeville Boys and Girls Club, as well as being a mother of three.

“It’s so much easier to just give, and … it’s hard to sit still when you’ve been so busy your whole life anyway,” Marzocca said.

She joined the advisory board at the Boys and Girls Club after her initial experience wasn’t very positive.

She enrolled her daughter, Chloe, in the club so she’d have a place to go after kindergarten where she could socialize with her friends.

Marzocca, however, wasn’t pleased with the way things were run under that management, so pulled her daughter out.

“It took about a year for me to recognize that this is all that Coupeville has and, if we want our children to have a

safe place where they can learn and grow and develop into strong, healthy, smart, capable teens and adults, that I could be a part of the solution rather than turn my back on the only resource available,” she said.

When she returned to the club, there was new management, and already things were vastly improved, according to Marzocca.

She joined the advisory board after re-enrolling her daughter in the club.

“I think it’s just so amazing what’s going on there now,” she said. “The director and the staff are just all so remarkable.”

Now, as part of her doctorate education, she is required to help bring about a transformational change in an organization she’s a part of.

Marzocca chose the club, with the goal of enhancing the teen program.

“The elementary school aspect of the club is already in place,” she said. “I don’t aim to take anything away from the elementary, only add to the value of the club as it relates to the teens.”

Marzocca has been working with Jamie Scharich, the club’s director, and Robin Wilson, the teen program coordinator, to enhance these programs.

They’re working on planning focus groups and workshops to train the staff and

“address the various needs teens have,” as well as working to set up job shadow and internship opportunities for teenagers wanting to get some experience in the workforce.

ter understand how to help children from military families whose mother or father is deployed.

“It’s more than a school project for me,” Marzocca said. “This is a lifetime project.”

“I would say that it helps to be relevant,” she said. “I’ve been there, done that, I know how it feels and I know how we can help them adjust to the absence.”

Marzocca said her time in the Navy has helped her bet-

Marzocca said she wanted to work on this transforma-

tive program because there aren’t a lot of options for teenagers in Coupeville.

“There’s a demographic of teens who’s being missed,” she said. “If you’re not in sports and you’re not in band, then there’s really nothing for you.”

If Marzocca, Scharich and Wilson have their way, that won’t last much longer.

“I appreciate what the Boys and Girls Club can do for the kids that may be missing a mom or a dad for extended periods,” said Marzocca. “And they do fill a gap, they do provide a place for kids to be themselves, to learn new things, not just the teenagers, but all of them. And they’re very military-family friendly.”

Navy SAR team completes two rescues in one day

A search and rescue team from Whidbey Island Naval Air Station was called twice Aug. 13 for two different emergencies, one in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest and the other at Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.

Early that Wednesday morning, the MH-60S Knighthawk helicopter crew of five received its first call to rescue a 58-year-old man who suffered a possible lower leg fracture at

Lake Waptus near Mount Daniel in Kittitas County.

The accident occurred around noon the day before. The man’s friend hiked out of the area to notify the local Sheriff’s Office.

The man was stuck overnight at the location with two 15-year-olds, including his nephew.

“We hoisted all three in a basket,” said Naval Aircrewman Helicopter

2nd Class Daniel Ismay, the SAR 2nd Crewman. The three rescued were flown to Bowers Field in Ellensburg.

Within 15 minutes of returning to NAS Whidbey Island, the same aircrew was back in the air at 3 p.m. to airlift a man from San Juan Airport at Friday Harbor to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle after he had fallen seven feet on his head during an on-the-job injury.

“The patient had been waiting since noon for transfer to Harborview,” Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Alex Nguyen, the SAR Medical Technician. “Thanks to the San Juan Paramedics, the patient transfer went expeditiously and smoothly even with the bad weather.”

This year, NAS Whidbey Island SAR has launched on 14 search-andrescue missions and four medical

evacuations.

The Navy SAR unit is specifically based on Whidbey for search-andrescue missions for the EA-6B and EA-18G aircraft, as well as other squadrons and personnel assigned to the installation.

The base also has an agreement to assist Washington state with medical evacuations and search-and-rescue activities.

Navy career sets stage for acting Emboldened by his military experience, Jim Reynolds takes on the crowd at Whidbey Playhouse

By RON NEWBERRY

Half a lifetime ago, Jim Reynolds was thrust into a recruiting office in the Arizona desert and tasked with signing up sailors.

This wasn’t his comfort zone, taking charge as a U.S. Navy recruiter and convincing the young men and women of affluent Scottsdale that this was the life for them.

But he was expected to produce results, especially in 1986, when the Reagan administration was talking up a 600-ship naval fleet.

“The military kind of set me up for overcoming my fears,” Reynolds said recently as he sipped of cup of coffee at Starbucks in Oak Harbor.

“As a young guy, I was scared to death of being up front.

“But there are few things I can’t stand more than being scared of something.”

Now four years removed from active duty Navy status, Reynolds continues to push himself and tackle fears.

He’s become a common

figure onstage and behind the scenes at the Whidbey Playhouse in Oak Harbor in recent years, exploring deeper a creative, even funny, side of himself while satisfying his ambition to conquer challenges.

“He’s a good actor,” said Janis Powell, business manager at the playhouse. “He comes in and adds a real upbeat note to the theater. A lot of his characters are a bit of a comedy act in a way. He’s kind of like that. He’s warm and personable.”

The transition from master chief to novice actor was too tempting to pass up.

The idea peaked his interest while watching his son James participate in a rehearsal of “Aladdin” at the playhouse in 2007.

“My son is something of a showman,” Reynolds said.

As it turned out, dad was too.

Although time was tight because of the Navy, Reynolds got up the nerve to try out for a small part as pirate in “Peter Pan” in 2008

nity.”

Since retiring from the Navy in 2010 after 30 years of service, Reynolds has acted in eight more plays at the playhouse, five in the past two years.

Reynolds’ Navy career includes leadership positions with three different electronic attack squadrons (138, 139 and 142) on Whidbey Island as well as spending his final three years in the Navy as a command master chief with VP-1 patrol squadron.

“It’s a total expression of yourself you can’t get anywhere else,” he said.

The expression he enjoys most is a smile.

“I just love character-type acting and comedy,” he said.

“I find it uniquely challenging.”

He’s found stepping onstage and owning the stage

Playing the role of Nick Bottom in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” in 2013 was “physically exhausting,” Reynolds said. to be both frightening and exhilarating. He said he’s learned to repurpose any fear, knowing he has a responsibility to those working with him.

“I don’t want to say conquer it, but tame it,” Reynolds said. “Make it useful not only to yourself, but to others.”

Tackling challenges, while also encouraging others, are big to Reynolds.

At 52, with a long Navy career behind him, he embraces his role as a work and family life consultant at Fleet and Family Support Center at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station.

At the Whidbey Playhouse, which he calls

family, he hasn’t played lead roles onstage but is a large presence off of it, serving as a leader, mentor and cheerleader.

Reynolds has spearheaded the playhouse’s community service involvement with the “Adopt a Highway” program where playhouse members volunteer to clean up a stretch of State Highway 20.

He is known to lead the cast in prayer before they step onstage.

“He does a lot for the community as well as things with the playhouse,” said Allenda Jenkins, who is on the playhouse board. “He’s just an all-around great guy. He has a real heart for the commu-

Among his sea duty highlights was a stint with the USS Midway on its final cruise in 1991.

“That was nostalgic to me,” he said. “It was a really hard-working ship.”

Now with his feet planted firmly on the ground in Oak Harbor, Reynolds is tackling new missions. A physical fitness buff, he is active in running, water sports and rock climbing.

Although the Whidbey Playhouse’s 2014-15 season starts this month with “The Odd Couple (Female Version),” Reynolds’ next acting pursuit will be auditioning for Monty Python’s “Spamalot” this winter.

As with anything, he isn’t seeking perfection.

“I do not like to fail,” he said. “I’ve given myself a license to fail. I know it’s part of doing.”

Navy christens research vessel Sally Ride

By JANIS REID

The Navy christened the auxiliary general purpose oceanographic research vessel Sally Ride at the Port of Anacortes Aug. 9.

In keeping with tradition, Dr. Tam O’Shaughnessy, the ship’s sponsor, broke a bottle of sparkling wine against the ship and christened her in the name of Sally Ride, physicist and astronaut.

Sally Ride is the second of two ships to be christened in the Neil Armstrong class. The first ship, the Neil Armstrong, was christened in March. These modern mono-hull research vessels are based on a commercial design and are capable of integrated, interdisciplinary, general-purpose oceanographic research in coastal and deep ocean areas.

Sally Ride will be U.S. flagged, manned by a commercial crew, and will be operated by Scripps Institution of Oceanography

under a renewable charterparty agreement with the Office of Naval Research.

The Neil Armstrong class will feature a modern suite of oceanographic equipment, including state-of-the-art acoustic equipment capable of mapping the deepest parts of the oceans, advanced overthe-side handling gear to deploy and retrieve scientific instruments, emissions controls for stack gasses, and new information technology tools both for monitoring shipboard systems and for communicating with land-based sites worldwide.

The Navy currently owns six of the nation’s largest oceanographic research ships, which support critical ocean research for the Navy and other federal agencies.

A major segment of the U.S. research fleet is now approaching the end of its service life and is in need of replacement.

The vessel will conduct deep-sea and coastal research.

VQ-1 sailor participates in marksmanship competition VQ-1’s ATC Herb Johnson was his squadron’s only representative for the Civilian Marksmanship Program competition.

The CMP is a national tournament hosted annually at Camp Perry, Ohio, and is the world series for competitive shooters. The competition originally was born out of a desire to improve military marksmanship and national defense preparedness in 1903, supported by President Theodore Roosevelt. Today, the tournament is funded privately and includes the NRA’s

version of the competition as well. In a brief interview, Chief Johnson explained the major differences between the CMP competition versus the NRA’s version.

Of note, the CMP requires the shooter to use iron sights and allows few modifications.

In particular, shooters compete on a 50 yard range for pistol and 600 yard range for rifle. The NRA match has competitors shoot from a range of 25 yards for pistol and 200 yards for rifle.

Johnson is soon retiring after 21 years of service.
