mateur radio is one of those hobbies that doesn’t usually get a lot of attention.

Until there’s an emergency or natural disaster, that is, when Ham radio operators play a vital role in establishing communication and relaying information.

Members of the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island MARS/amateur radio station were on hand Saturday to help

foster an interest in amateur radio among children, as part of the annual American Radio Relay League’s Kids’ Day. While the day got off to a bit of a slow start (there were no children present during the time the Whidbey Crosswind was there), things picked up during the afternoon, and organizers said a few youngsters who came to test the air waves.

WANTED NOW OPEN EVERY WEEK: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday 10am-6pm BRING IN THIS COUPON FOR

“It was a lot of fun. We made popcorn and stayed till four in the afternoon,” said Digger O’Dell, one of the MARS/amateur radio operators on hand for the day. “If you have one kid come in, that’s a success and after that it’s just fun.”

O’Dell said one of the first participants to arrive, a 9-year-old girl, was able to talk with twins from Missouri.

Fighting Marlins make a good impression

By Lt. Cmdr. Brandon McCauley

Detachment Officer in Charge

JAKARTA, Indonesia – Patrol Squadron (VP) 40 began its 7th Fleet deployment by participating in CARAT Indonesia 2011.

The Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training, or CARAT, series are bilateral, annual exercises designed to increase understanding between the U.S. Navy and its Southeast Asia partners, should they be called upon in the future to work together in real-world operations.

The tri-fold CARAT mission includes enhancing regional cooperation, building friendships between the U.S. and other nations involved, and strengthening professional skills at every level.

Eleven aircrew and eight maintenance professionals arrived in Jakarta on May 25, aboard a Fighting Marlin aircraft. They were greeted at Halim

International Airport by three Indonesian liaison officers and members of Commander, Task Group 73.1.

On day two, Combat Aircrew Four (CAC-4) attended a joint aviation symposium, learning about Indonesian maritime patrol capabilities followed by a delicious lunch of regional cuisine.

Later that afternoon, CAC-4 briefed Indonesian aviators on P-3C capabilities regarding humanitarian assistance and disaster recovery, anti-submarine warfare, and maritime domain awareness. The second day concluded with a gift and plaque exchange.

Day three provided an opportunity to impress seven Indonesian officers with some of the P-3C Orion’s capabilities during a familiarization flight.

CAC-4 demonstrated ways to build maritime situational awareness utilizing the Automated Identification System; an unclassified, commer-

cially available system that receives information from nearly all commercial ships at sea. It displays vessel name, flag state, registry, position, course, speed, and even its dimensions.

The Indonesians were also particularly impressed with the full motion video capability of the advanced imaging multi-spectral camera used after a natural disaster.

“It was an awesome way to show off the capabilities of our aircraft,” said Naval Aircrewman Second Class Anthony Balver. “The Indonesians had a great time. They are really friendly and it was a joy working with them.”

The next day, CAC-4 took to the air again with seven Indonesian officers to provide range clearance for the CARAT surface force gunnery exercise, or GUNNEX. Participants included USS Howard, USS Reuben James, and two Indonesian corvettes. Working closely with Howard’s tactical

action officer, CAC-4 guided the CARAT surface force to an area where the ships could safely fire their crew served weapons on a target affectionately known as the “killer tomato”.

The Indonesian officers were impressed by the ability to record events with clarity and detail.

“This aircraft is like Star Wars,” commented an Indonesian officer. “My favorite thing is making new American friends.”

VP-40’s participation in CARAT Indonesia would

not have been possible without the efforts of the maintenance professionals led by Chief Aviation Machinist’s Mate Alicia Winters.

Sailors worked hard in intense heat and sparse conditions to ensure the aircraft remained ready to fly each day.

“We didn’t have much to work with, but good planning allowed us to bring what we needed,” said Timothy Stone, Aviation Structural Mechanic Third Class. “I was proud we kept

the aircraft up for those two flights – we always get the mission done, no matter how hard.”

The final day afforded the opportunity for liberty, with visits to Indonesia’s version of Sea World, shopping for unique souvenirs, and simply enjoying the sun.

The break allowed the Fighting Marlin team to successfully conclude its most important mission of the trip – being good ambassadors of the United States.

“Liberty is one of the most important missions we conduct in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility.

We could execute a flawless mission, but a liberty incident could embarrass our chain of command and our nation at the highest levels,” said detachment officer in charge, Lt. Cmdr.

Brandon McCauley. “I’m proud of how we performed during CARAT Indonesia 2011, from our airborne and maintenance missions, and more importantly, our liberty mission.”

Bremerton dad receives Military Fatherhood Award

By Ryan Riley

Mass Communication Specialist Courtesty of Military.com

A Naval Base Kitsap sailor received the 2011 Military Fatherhood Award during a ceremony in Bremerton June 16.

The National Fatherhood Initiative selected Logistics Specialist First Class Christopher Cady, leading petty officer at priority material office headquarters aboard Naval Base Kitsap, from nominees around the world.

NFI honors a military father every year who is dedicated to his children and displays ongoing commitment to father from a distance while deployed, balances military life and family life, and helps mentor other military fathers and children who are separated from each other.

“It’s extremely humbling,” said Cady. “I didn’t learn about the award until I found out I was nominated; extremely humbling.”

Out of nearly 600 nominations, Cady was narrowed down to one of three finalists by NFI. The public then was able to vote for the winner through a special

Facebook page which had video stories of each finalist.

Cady said NFI sent the finalists video cameras and instructions for making their video submissions.

“I don’t think I’m doing anything that any other father wouldn’t do,” Cady said.

“I am honored and humbled to receive this award.”

NFI President Roland C. Warren said Cady exemplifies the best of what involved, responsible and committed fatherhood is all about. He said Cady has fully dedicated himself to caring for his son, but also honorably serves the nation.

“NFI is truly honored to give this award to a truly amazing dad and Sailor,” Warren said.

Cady is a single father who cares for his 11-year-old son, Joshua, who was born with Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and is legally blind and deaf. CMV affects muscle control and can cause seizures.

Cady says he’s not comfortable being in the limelight but he likes the attention CMV is getting throughout his experience.

LS1 Christopher Cady greets his son Joshua as he returns home from school last April.

Cady was presented with the 2011 Military Fatherhood Award last week.

More than 500 parents, family members and friends showed up at Oak Harbor High School’s gym June 2 for the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps award ceremony.

Along with presentation of awards by more than 18 groups, there was an armed and unarmed drill team that many in the crowd had come to see. After separate demonstrations by the teams, more than 176 NJROTC cadets marched into the gym to form the company for the award presentation.

“We had the award ceremony in a smaller space last year but so many of the parents wanted to see the drill teams we had it in the gym this year,” said NJROTC senior naval science instructor, Cmdr.

Mike Black.

Representatives from numerous local and national service organizations presented their annual awards to the following cadets: • Navy League Youth Medal — Tricia Desquitado • Navy League Outstanding Cadet — Tyler Peterson • American Legion Military Excellence Medal — Joyce Abides • American Legion Scholastic Medal — Alexandra McNaught • Military Order of the World Wars “Medal of Merit” Melissa Malong • Military Order of the World Wars Outstanding Career-Oriented Senior — Daniel Nesser • Military Order of the World Wars Outstanding Cadet — Brandy Allain • Scottish Rite Southern Jurisdiction Award — Mai Takeyama • Surface Warfare Association Stephen Decatur, Jr. Ribbon — Rebecca Holloman • Surface Warfare Association Stephen Decator Jr. Medal — Josh McVey • Non-Commissioned Officers Association Medal — Audrey Bouwens • Non-Commissioned Officers Association Medal — Samone Lewis • National Sojourners Award — Brittany Kjos • Military Order of the Purple Heart —

In addition to the awards, the organizations contributed $2,000 to support NJROTC. Funds are used to send selected cadets to NJROTC Summer Leadership Academies, continue funding of the Daren Jewell and Jared Davis Scholarships and to support continuing unit operations.

Eight Oak Harbor cadets will attend leadership academies this year. Six at Northwest Leadership Academy at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island June 25 to July 2 and two at Hawaii Leadership Academy at Naval Station Pearl Harbor June 20 to 29.

“The large and enthusiastic crowd in attendance reflects the great support the NJROTC program enjoys in the community and among our students and their families,” said Black.

The NJROTC will begin the 2011-2012 school year in September with 194 cadets.

Vietnam veteran, author to speak at VFW Allen Clark has quite a story to tell and the Vietnam veteran and double amputee will share it with local audiences.

PenFed foundation raises over $700,000 at annual gala Washington, D.C. — The Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation (PenFed Foundation), a nationally recognized nonprofit organization working to meet the unmet needs of military personnel and their families, announced last week it raised over $700,000, a record-breaking fundraising year, at its annual Night of Heroes Gala last month in Washington, D.C. The event recognized wounded military heroes and those of the medical community who provide the continuum of care from the battlefield to the

home front.

“When the battle ends the responsibility of the foundation and our donors begins. We are thrilled with the level of support we received this year,” said Christopher Flynn, president and chief executive officer for the PenFed Foundation. “Even in these tough economic times, our donors took that extra step to help make life better for veterans and active duty service members who have and continue to sacrifice so much for our country. That means a lot to us — and to the men and women we serve.”

The money raised will

go towards supporting the foundation’s programs, including helping wounded service members and providing financial management assistance to veterans and their families.

This year, the funds raised will also be used to help build a new $12.5 million Defenders Lodge, a free hotel for veterans seeking medical treatment at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Palo Alto, Calif.

OUR VIEWS

A true case of puppy fever Have you ever had one of those “What were you thinking?!” moments?

I seem to have them quite frequently lately, and the cause is a small, black and white fur ball named Sophie.

Her full name is Sophia Lauren Reed — the middle name is helpful when using my angry voice — Sophie for short.

She is a six-month-old Japanese Chin - Yorkie mix, and she is totally, unequivocally nuts.

She came about because of a KATHY true case of puppy fever. My sister had just gotten a new puppy.

REED My mom had gotten a new puppy a few months earlier, and my brother got his puppy a few months before that. They were all completely different, but completely lovable pooches. My dog, Pepper, a wonderful miniature schnauzer of 14, had died about a year or so earlier. While I could never replace her, I missed having a dog around the house. Wouldn’t a little puppy be sweet? That argument worked well with my husband, and Sophie came home with us a couple of months ago.

I haven’t had a puppy in a long time, but I’m sure I remember it being much easier. Surely, my beloved Pepper never had accidents on the carpet, never chewed on the furniture when we weren’t looking, never ate homework, chewed up our shoes or got into the garbage, right? Pepper would never find my husband’s wallet on the night stand, open it up and chew up his brand new bank card, and only his bank card, would she?

Well, Sophie would. Yep, she’s annoying as all get out. But what a sweet, innocent face she has. She’s inquisitive, she’s energetic, she runs like the wind across our back yard, and she snuggles up with us at night. I don’t have puppy fever any more, but a full blown case of puppy love.

Teaching naval aviators how to survive Aviation Survival Training Center delivers realistic training

By MELANIE HAMMONS

Whidbey Crosswind

This year marks the 100th year of Naval Aviation — a milestone, to be sure.

The Navy’s amazing flying machines are exceptional largely due to the skill of those who fly them. And that is why the mission of the Aviation Survival Training Center (ASTC) on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island is so critical.

“Our mission statement could not be more straightforward in regards to what we do here,” said Lt. Cmdr. Rich Folga, ASTC Director. “Simply put, it is to maximize performance and survivability of the war fighter.

“Anyone who flies or is” aircrew on a naval aircraft is required to complete the training we offer here, and to have it renewed every four years.,” he continued.

The rationale could not be more justified — aviation is a hazardous occupation, even under optimal conditions.

Add in a few variables such as poor flying weather, or combat situations, and the necessity of good training becomes selfevident.

“This is a busy place,” said Folga. “About 45 students is a pretty typical week, with Mondays and Thursdays being our busiest days.”

Roughly 20 personnel are on staff at ASTC. Among them are two naval aerospace physiologists, one of whom is Folga.

Four others are qualified aerospace physiology technicians. They

“Anyone who flies or is aircrew on a naval aircraft is required to complete the training we offer here.”

– Lt. Cmdr. Rich Folga include hospital corpsmen, Navy divers, and civilian instructors with diving experience. All are eminently qualified for a task that integrates the latest in medical research with the demands of naval aviation training.

“We train by (flying) platform here,” said Folga.

“The type of platform used dictates the type of training we will give.” He described the platforms as varying between fixedwing aircraft with or without ejection seats, and rotary wing craft.

ASTC staff members employ a variety of devices to deliver a realistic training scenario.

A low-pressure chamber allows students to experience the effects of hypoxia.

The modular egress training system drills them on how to escape a downed aircraft that is also underwater.

Those who fly the Prowler and Growler aircraft, which are equipped with ejection capability, will spend some time on the ejection seat trainer.

Because of advances made in aircraft engineering, Folga says the training is constantly being finetuned to enhance the realworld applications.

“We seek to tailor the

training at ASTC to keep up with changes in the fleet,” he said. “Flexibility on our end is important so that we can keep instruction relevant to our customers.”

And Folga says welltrained personnel are paramount to the mission of ASTC. “Individuals with interests and training in

SE Pioneer will be a one-way street between City Beach Street and Midway Boulevard for east bound traffic. Will SE Bayshore be changed to a one way street to opposite direction? Are there other changes on street directions with the project?

Bayshore Drive will remain a two way street with traffic heading both directions. Side streets coming into SE Pioneer Way, such as Dock street, Ireland, Hathaway, will remain as they currently are with no change in the existing one way/two way configuration. Only SE Pioneer Way between City Beach and Midway is being changed to a one-way street. Traffic volume will increase on SE Bayshore Drive however the overall drive time moving through the area is expected to be largely unchanged. During construction there are and will continue to be timing issues with the traffic signals resulting from construction activities affecting the controllers. Upon completion the signals and timing will be adjusted to accommodate the change in traffic patterns.

OIL | FROM PAGE 1 but more than 200 people on the Seaplane Base and in the water were to be on hand.

Containment booming, oil-skimming vessels, other boats and aircraft were scheduled to be in the area during the exercise.

“It’s a mystery spill,” said Dale R. Jensen Tuesday. Jensen is the manager of the Spills Program for the Department of Ecology.

“No one knows the type, the heaviness of the ‘oil’ or the vessel it came from. It will be about 10 miles long by a half mile wide,” he said.

The ‘spill’ was called in Tuesday night by a tug and barge operator and everyone on a call list for oil responses was called into Building 13 on the Seaplane Base.

How everyone responded will be evaluated by a team, members of which include people from Conoco Phillips, BP, Cherry Point Refinery, Global Diving and Salvage Company and Polar Tanker.

There are approximately 3,000 oil spills a year in the Puget Sound. The U.S. Coast Guard responds to 1,200 of those, said Capt. Scott Ferguson, commander of the USCG Sector Puget Sound.

The other spills are handled by many local environmental teams or professional spill watchers. Fifteen billion gallons of oil are transported through the Puget Sound each year.

That said, Northwest has the lowest spill volume in the country.

“The ultimate goal is preservation of environment, cultural and economic resources from oil damage,” said Ferguson.

“Actually, failure is a success,” said Jensen. “We have constant spills and good practices but this gives a chance to see gaps or some failures, lessons to be learned.

Both men said having industry partners was important.

“We invite our industry partners to evaluate us,” said Jensen.

Linda Pilkey-Jarvis, preparedness section manager for the Department of Ecology also thanked the Navy.

“They’re a very important partner,” she said. “The Navy has a lot of spill response equipment, they’re a partner, they’re letting us use the Seaplane Base and the building.”

Jensen said they just want to do their best.

“Between agencies, our federal and state partners ... we want our community to know we are doing our absolute best and being as transparent as we can,” he said.

When the training is over and done, those involved will have had a valuable opportunity for agencies to work together.

They will be evaluated on their ability to mount planned, first-stage response strategies using Northwest Area Contingency Plan and Incident Command System processes.

And a 10-mile long “mystery” spill will not really be dumped, but the response to it will speak volumes to those involved.

Digger O’Dell adjusts the radio receiver at the MARS/ amateur radio station at NAS Whidbey Island.

KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

The MARS station is located in the back of Building 13 on the NAS Whidbey Island Seaplane Base. Operators are there every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon. Anyone interested in amateur radio is encouraged to stop by.

RADIO | FROM PAGE 1 “They had a real neat talk,” he said.

Other contacts were made with children in Utah, California, Pennsylvania and a special event station at the birthplace of Orville and Wilbur Wright in Indiana.

The youngest participant in Saturday’s Kids’ Day was just 4 years old. According to O’Dell, there is really no age restriction for Ham radio operators. In order to get an amateur radio license, one has to understand the pertinent Federal Communications Commission regulations and demonstrate practical knowledge of equipment and safety.

While understanding the regulations may be out of reach for a young child,

older children who are able to grasp the concepts and rules and can pass the examination can get their license. But anyone, young children included, can gain knowledge and on-air experience without a license.

“The FCC law is that if you are with a control (licensed) operator, you can talk on an amateur radio,” O’Dell said.

“The more you do it, the better you get,” he said. “So if you want to be one, ask one.”

A lost art?

To assume amateur radio has gone the way of the dinosaur would be a mistake, at least according to the folks at the NAS Whidbey MARS station.

“I keep thinking it’s a lost art, but it really isn’t,”

said Willie Oliver, the Island County assistant emergency coordinator for the American Radio Relay League. “If you look at the numbers, (involvement in Ham radio) has stayed pretty steady.”

“People say ‘Ham is going down,’ but it’s really not,” agreed Richard Isakson. “If you look at the numbers, membership (in amateur radio clubs) is also staying consistent.”

Isakson cited a new Ham radio club at South Whidbey High School as an example of continued interest in amateur radio.

The group formed shortly before the end of the school year.

And with the popularity of computers and cell phones among today’s youth, it’s not surprising to people involved with amateur radio that teenagers in particular can be drawn to it as a hobby.

“It’s a technical hobby,” said Oliver. “So if you’re interested in the technical aspect of electronics, this is a good fit.”

Oliver said there are a couple of misconceptions about amateur radio.

“One is that it’s hard to get into — it really isn’t,” he said. “And two, people think it’s expensive. It doesn’t have to be.”

Oliver and O’Dell said it’s usually easy to find old equipment to get started in amateur radio. And

For the July 8th Issue:

“It’s a technical hobby. So if you’re interested in the technical aspect of electronics, this is a good fit.”

– Willie Oliver

because people can practice with other Ham radio operators before they get their license, it gives them a good chance to learn about the equipment and to know what kind they want to get when it’s time to make a purchase. As far as licensing fees, the FCC doesn’t charge for a license.

The only cost involved is usually for study materials and test fees, which is nominal.

“You learn stuff as you use it,” agreed Isakson.

“You learn the basics and people will show you the rest.”

“You can even borrow equipment until you get your own,” said O’Dell.

“Hams like to help each other.”

MARS and disasters While amateur radio enthusiasts can use the air waves to talk to people from all over the world, there is another function for the station at NAS

Whidbey. MARS stands for Military Auxiliary Radio System and is a program sponsored by the Department of Defense and operated by the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force.

“MARS operates on Department of Defense coordinated frequencies instead of FCC frequencies,” explained Oliver.

MARS is mainly a civilian auxiliary, but its programs also include active duty, reserve and National Guard units and Coast Guard cutters and shore stations, among others.

Its primary mission is to provide auxiliary emergency communications to agencies like the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Homeland Security, but also assists state and local emergency response agencies.

In the past, a large part of what MARS stations did was pass along morale and welfare messages by patching telephone calls through to active duty service men and women around the world. With the advent of the Internet and email, those services aren’t in high demand any longer.

But there was a time when a telephone patch could literally mean the difference between life and death.

O’Dell’s wife, B.J., who is a licensed MARS operator and a former Navy nurse, recounted a time when she

Whidbey

helped coordinate communication between a Navy ship between Guam and Hawaii.

There was an injury on board the ship and the crew needed to talk with a doctor. The closest doctor was in Hawaii. B.J., working from the small office at NAS Whidbey, was able to coordinate the necessary communication between the medical staff on the ship and the physician.

That’s the part of being an amateur radio operator she likes.

“I like working with emergencies and being able to set up a system of communication,” she said. “And I like working with kids behind the scenes.”

And that’s what drives many of the crew at the MARS station, who cited the recent tornado in Joplin, Mo., as an example of the role amateur radio operators can play in an emergency.

“Every time there’s an emergency, they want amateur radio operators up and running,” Digger O’Dell said.

“The Internet can be brought down. Cell phones can be interrupted. We’re capable of communicating all around the world,” said Oliver.

“It’s not a matter of if, but when, there’s going to be an emergency,” said O’Dell.

He described the job itself as being “extremely rewarding.”

It may come as a somewhat of a surprise to learn that many of the students at ASTC are not in the Navy at all.

“For example, this week alone, we are scheduled to train members of the Army, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard, in addition to Navy. We very

much provide joint-force training in the truest sense of the definition,” he said.

In fact, Folga recently co-chaired a scientific panel that dealt with dynamic hypoxia training challenges and future directions. He views it as just one more facet of his job.

“All of them are war fighters – all of them need the training,” he said.

“At the end of the day, should something go wrong for them, it’s rewarding to know that they can rely on quality training to help them deal successfully with whatever challenging situation they may find.”

Greenert Recommended for CNO

WASHINGTON (NNS) — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates announced June 16, he has recommended Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, vice chief of naval operations, to succeed the retiring Adm. Gary Roughead as the next chief of naval operations.

Gates said he made the recommendation to President Barack Obama based on Greenert’s solid portfolio that includes both significant personnel programs and budget responsibilities.

Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Greenert is “an exceptional officer, and if confirmed, will be, I believe, an exceptional CNO.” “He has wonderful operational experience, fleet experience, he’s terrific with people and he has extensive experience in the money world, which is now facing all of us,” Mullen said. “So I strongly concur with the secretary’s recommendation.”

Gates praised Roughead, who will retire this fall, for four decades of service and leadership at the helm of the Navy for the past four years.

“I have very much enjoyed working with Gary and have greatly valued his counsel and wisdom on both Navy issues and broader strategic issues,” Gates said.

Upon being notified of the news, Roughead offered his congratulations and endorsement.

“I could not be more pleased that Adm. Jon Greenert has been nominated to be the 30th Chief of Naval Operations. I have known Jon and his family well for years and I have the utmost respect for him as a leader and a naval officer.”

Firewood, Fuel & Stoves

NOTICE Washington State law requires wood sellers to provide an invoice (receipt) that shows the s e l l e r ’s a n d b u y e r ’s name and address and the date delivered. The invoice should also state the price, the quantity delivered and the quantity upon which the price is based. There should be a statement on the type and quality of the wood.

When you buy firewood write the seller’s phone number and the license plate number of the delivery vehicle.

The legal measure for firewood in Washington is the cord or a fraction of a cord. Estimate a c o r d by v i s u a l i z i n g a four-foot by eight-foot space filled with wood to a height of four feet.

Most long bed pickup trucks have beds that are close to the four-foot by 8-foot dimension.

To m a k e a f i r e w o o d complaint, call 360-9021857. http://agr.wa.gov/inspection/ weightsMeasures/ Firewoodinformation.aspx
