A group of military attachésfrom around the world visitedNAS Pensacola on a familiariza-tion tour of the air station Sept.16-18.

The United States hosts repre-sentatives of allied nations to visitbases throughout the nation;

NASP hosts these guests everythree to four years.

During their visit to Pensacola,the attaché s were briefed, givena tour of the station and its train-ing classes and were also giventhe opportunity to enjoy some ofPensacola’s Southern hospitalityas well. These high-rankingguests were able to interact andask questions of those workingwith the Navy.

Deputy Director of NavalIntelligence Rear Adm. MatthewKohler, who toured with thegroup, said his favorite part of thevisit was “watching them gainappreciation of how this greattraining facility has benefited notjust the U.S. Navy, but theirnations as they commit manySailors to the training pipelinehere.” Kohler was commissioned

Towering seas, lightning and an overturned boataren’t in the usual day plan at NAS Pensacola’sBayou Grande Marina. But for Morale, Welfare andRecreation (MWR) marina recreation aide supervi-sor Jack Weinzimmer, an ordinary day’s sailboatrental would turn into an extraordinary rescue andrecovery situation July 30.

When an active-duty Navy couple rented an 18-foot Hunter sailboat from the marina at the BayouGrande Yacht Club earlier in the day, it was businessas usual. As Weinzimmer kept an eye on the weath-er conditions, he noticed the sea state worsening. At2:30 p.m., as a squall line passed over NASP, theNational Weather Service issued a severe weatherwarning for Escambia County.

When Weinzimmer and coworker JordanMorales were unable to contact the couple either byradio or cell phone, they decided to act. Launching

your unselfish devotion,” hesaid. “This luncheon is a way toshow our appreciation for yourdedication and sacrifice. You arethe keepers of the truth for manyof our spouses, especially whenyou start talking to them aboutthe stresses and uncertainty thatare part of our lifestyle. So let usknow how we can help you andarm you with answers to thosehard questions and where youneed support.”

Ombudsmen are appointed bya command’s commanding offi-cer (CO) and are considered a fullmember of the CO’s team, keep-ing families informed about whatis going on with the service mem-bers, and be a point of contact incase of an emergency. This pastAugust they were prepared tokeep families informed asHurricane Isaac approached theGulf Coast. They also support

families affected by mobilization,individual augmentation and geo-graphic separation.

“As the liaison between thecommand and the families, fami-ly members can call us for infor-mation or because of an emer-gency,” said NETC ombudsmanNatalie Evans. “When HurricaneIsaac was approaching the areaombudsmen kept up with infor-mation as the status of the stormcontinued to change. Just becausea family doesn’t live near a Navyinstallation, or if a family’s serv-ice member is deployed, TAD oron an individual augmentation, itdoesn’t lessen the command’sresponsibility to ensuring they aresupported.”

The ombudsman program wasoriginally established in 1970 bythen Chief of Naval Operations,Adm. Elmo R. Zumwalt, whoenvisioned a program in whichNavy spouses would be the liai-son between the command and

families. In 2006 an updatedinstruction required that all Navyfamilies have access to the pro-gram.

“In the past we used commandleadership, the CO and XO andthe chief’s mess to get the word toour families, but what we discov-ered was sometimes the informa-

tion was not getting to the homefront and there wasn’t a singlepoint of contact while Sailorswere preparing for deployment oralready deployed,” said NETC’sForce Master Chief April Beldo.“Thankfully, the CNO at the timehad the vision to stand up this pro-gram. Now we have a spouse

back at the home front that canreach out to not only the families,but also the commanding officerto make sure that our familieshave the information they need,so they can continue doing whatthey need to do while their mili-tary spouse is away at ‘the tip ofthe spear.’ ”

The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: theCentennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA.

The image on the left side of the nameplatedepicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss push-er bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan.18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USSBirmingham two months earlier after his planehad been loaded on the ship, the USSPennsylvania event was the first time a planelanded on and then took off from a U.S. war-ship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’smost modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 SuperHornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air StationNews, the name Gosport was adopted in1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flightinstructors in the early days of naval aviation togive instructions and directions to their stu-dents. The name “Gosport” was derived fromGosport, England (originally God’s Port),where the voice tube was invented.

From Carissa BergoshNASP School Liaison Officer

All NAS Pensacola members andcivilian employees (including con-tractors) who are parents or guardiansof school-age children attending pub-lic schools should be on the lookoutfor the Federal Impact Aid surveycards, which will be distributed Sept.24. These cards will be sent homefrom school with your children.

Data received from the FederalImpact Aid survey cards is a sourceof desperately needed funding forlocal schools. For schools to beawarded the maximum amount offunding available, all you have to dois fill out the card and return it to your

child’s school. Cards must bereturned for the data to be collectedthat will qualify local schools for theadditional funding that is offeredunder the Federal Impact Aid pro-gram.

All military dependent and “feder-ally connected” students in grades K-12 are eligible. “Federally connect-ed” children include those whose par-ents or guardians are federal civilianemployees or contractors. The chil-dren of civilian employees and con-tractors who work at NAS Pensacolaqualify as federally connected.

According to officials with theEscambia County school district, ofthe 40,558 students enrolled on thesurvey date in September, 2011,

4,494 were federally connected. Federal Impact Aid surveys are

conducted annually. The datareceived determines the amount ofadditional funding local schools areallocated to help off-set the tax rev-enue that is lost due to the tax exemptstatus of the Federal property locatedin the school district.

Simply equated, the more militarydependent and federally connectedstudents living in and reported by aschool district, the more funding thedistrict receives.

It is recommended that parents dis-cuss this information with their chil-dren so the children understand theimportance of the survey and thatthey expect to receive a survey card

when they are distributed in theschools.

Important to note is that the per-sonal data a person supplies on thesurvey cards is protected under theprivacy law that is granted to theschool district.

So, heads up. Be on the lookout forthe coming impact aid cards. With thesevere budget cuts that have come tothe district schools, impact aid is asource of needed funds. When youreceive your cards, be diligent to fillthem out and get them back to theschools. If for some reason you donot receive a card, contact yourchild’s school.

The deadline for submitting theapplication is Jan. 31.

Federal Impact Aid surveys coming soon

The military officers camefrom 20 different countriesaround the globe and are trav-eling all over the Southeasternportion of the United States tolearn how the Navy andMarine Corps operates.

Their trip also served toenlighten them on America’s

most important cultural,industrial, governmental andhistorical features. Other stopsfor this trip included variousnaval and Marine stations inFlorida as well as NewOrleans and Washington, D.C.

Attaché visits allow fortwo-way support and provetrust. NASP also offers sever-al courses for those from for-eign militaries as well.

“That kind of interactionwith all that is provided here

in Pensacola has really beenbeneficial,” Kohler said.

The U.S. military makes ittheir goal to have upright rela-tionships with other countriesand their military.

“It was our absolute pleas-ure to host Adm. Kohler andso many outstanding navalattaché s representing ourfriends and allies fromaround the world,” saidNASP Commanding OfficerCapt. Christopher Plummer.

“In my experience, navalofficers around the globeshare a common bond and aconnection with the sea, cre-ating an almost instant rap-port. This group was noexception. I personally lovedmeeting and sharing sea sto-ries with this great group ofnaval officers and reallyenjoyed showing off thisbeautiful installation and allthe fantastic stuff we dohere.”

“Cassell got to him first and grabbed him assoon as he went underwater,” Harris said.“It was almost like something you’d see ina movie.”

Fortunately the victim was still con-scious, but began vomiting once he resur-faced.

The swim back to the beach was chal-lenging, with an outgoing rip current andreported surf of two to three feet in the Gulfof Mexico.

“I put my arm around his chest and Istarted swimming back in, and that was agood 150 yards out,” Cassell said. “And thewhole time I was swimming against thecurrent, because he had gotten sucked outby a rip current and I was swimmingagainst it the whole way back in.”

Both Cassell and Harris brought the vic-tim to shore. Within minutes, an emergencyteam had arrived.

Station 13 Fire Rescue Officer in ChargeLt. Daniel Ackerman said his stationresponded to the call about the distressedswimmer, and that the Sailors bringing thevictim safely back to the beach made all thedifference in the outcome.

“If the Sailors hadn’t been there, it wouldhave definitely been a different situationbecause he was completely exhausted bythe time they got him in,” he said.

the marina’s 22-foot Boston Whaler, thepair proceeded to search PensacolaBay’s rough waves in the vicinity wherethe missing sailboat had last been seen.

Concerned for their safety,Weinzimmer could easily imagine him-self in the missing boaters’ place. “Themain reason why we went is, I’d wantsomeone looking for me if I was outthere and that (weather) was happen-ing.”

Onboard the base, power outages,structural damages and downed treeshad resulted from the thunderstorms.“The wind was howling; there was 55mph winds and four-foot seas in thebay,” Weinzimmer recalled. “It waspretty nasty. There were some times in

the boat where I couldn’t see four feet infront of me,” he said. “The hail and thewind; all that.”

Weinzimmer and Morales had cov-ered the intracoastal area from BayouChico to Pensacola Beach when a callcame in. “We were out there about twohours before we actually got word theywere at the ranger’s station, off FortPickens,” Weinzimmer said. “Uponfinding the couple, they were not withthe boat.”

The storm’s winds had blown thecouple over to Fort Pickens, where theydisembarked and tied the craft to a post.The post then tore free in the storm, set-ting the sailboat adrift with no oneaboard.

The man who’d rented the sailboatoffered to join Weinzimmer and

Morales to help in the search effort.With his assistance, the Boston Whalerset off again and soon the missing sail-boat was found, capsized near theNASP Coast Guard station.

With the storm beginning to subside,the two righted the 18-foot Hunter andwere able to tow it to Sherman CoveMarina. “It was still raining and light-ning when we found it,” Weinzimmersaid. “We weren’t going to make thetrek back to Bayou Grande.”

Weinzimmer, who is 18 years old,has worked for the base’s MWR depart-ment for about two years. He may findhimself involved in ocean rescues again– Weinzimmer has joined the U.S.Coast Guard (USCG ) and will report tothe USCG training center in Cape May,N.J., in November.

About a million yearsago, I had a career, a brief-case, an office, a secretaryand a view from the 24thfloor. I did research, arguedmotions, interviewedclients and attended thefirm’s holiday party. Myname was on the wall in thelobby.

But then, when I leastexpected it, something hap-pened.

That something was anincessant, unrelenting thingcalled life.

Two years after beingblindsided by love, I foundmyself sitting on my Navyhusband’s bachelor couchin our dumpy base house, ina state that did not recog-nize my law license, nurs-ing our new baby whilewatching Maury Povichinterview people who hadbeen abducted by aliens.

At first it was kind offun, getting to relive all thetimes I played house as akid, except that I had to dothe boring stuff too, such asmaking sandwiches andcleaning toilets. I neverreally thought it allthrough, and truly believedthat I would get back to mycareer at some point.

Seventeen years, eightmoves and two more babieslater, I’m still making sand-wiches and cleaning toilets,

and the opportunity to getmy career back simplynever came.

In the meantime, I’vediscovered that long-termhousewifery does notalways provide one withthe obvious sense of

achievement that a careeroffers. In fact, the dailydrudgery of housework andmothering is highly suscep-tible to being completelytaken for granted. We don’tget bonuses for sparklingfloors, pay raises for freshlaundry, or promotions forperfectly steamed greenbeans.

So, we veteran house-wives must seize our egoboosts where we can getthem.

When my son, Hayden,started his sophomore yearat his new school, I packedhis lunch every day like Ialways had. But, I decidedto bump it up a notch.

My usual routine was toroll up three slices of delichicken on two slices ofwhole wheat bread with aleaf of lettuce and a slice ofSwiss cheese.

To reward my son forworking hard at footballpractice, I decided to dou-ble the meat, adding tenderslices of ham and roastbeef. Two slices of pepperjack and extra lettuce madethe sandwich so thick that Ihad to put it into a quart-sized storage bag.

On our way home fromfootball practice thatevening, Hayden, who isfirmly entrenched in thatinfuriating stage ofteenagedom characterizedby an almost complete lackof normal conversation,

said, “Hey Mom, I reallyliked that sandwich.”

My heart nearly skippeda beat.

Over the next coupleweeks, I continued craftingthick, meaty sandwiches,sometimes substitutingcheeses, adding spicy slicesof pepperoni, or a fresh subroll. Instead of waiting foraccolades, I had taken toeagerly asking him how heliked the sandwich on ourride home from footballpractice. He would answerin typical teenage brevity,but always communicatedhis appreciation.

Then one day, Haydentold me that his footballbuddy commented that hewished his mom madesandwiches like that. Icouldn’t believe my earsand was exhilarated by mynew sense of culinary supe-riority.

Call me pathetic, but theseemingly insignificantcompliments gave me arenewed sense of purpose,and a slight spring in mymiddle-aged step as Ipacked the lunches eachmorning.

Sure, it’s true that theclosest thing I have to anoffice has a washer anddryer in it. And yes, it israther ironic that I used tohave a secretary but am nowsecretary for the footballteam. And even though myname is no longer posted in

an office lobby, my name isthe one my kids utter whenthey want a tissue, help withtheir homework, a snack,someone to hear about theirday at school, or a hug.

While I may never makesenior partner of a law firm asI had planned more than 20years ago, I have attained astatus I never expected. I am “Head Nurse,”“Accountant,” GeneralManager,” “Commander inChief of the House,” andnow, “The Sandwich Queen.”

Sure, my scepter may bea toilet bowl brush and mycarriage a mini-van, but Idon’t mind, because I knowI am loved by my people.

CNRSE installations recognizedfor energy, water management efforts

By Michael MaddoxRegion Southeast Public Affairs

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Severalinstallations across the Navy RegionSoutheast have recently been namedwinners of the Secretary of the NavyEnergy and Water Management Awardsin recognition of their energy and waterconservation programs.

Naval Support Activity (NSA)Panama City was awarded a top honorby being named a Platinum level awardwinner. Gold level winners were NavalAir Station (NAS) Pensacola, NASJacksonville, Naval Station (NS)Mayport, Naval Submarine Base (NSB)Kings Bay, NS Guantanamo Bay, NASJoint Reserve Base (JRB) Fort Worth,NSA Orlando, NAS Kingsville andNaval Construction Battalion Center(NCBC) Gulfport. Blue level winnersincluded NAS Corpus Christi, NASJRB New Orleans, NAS Key West,NAS Whiting Field and NAS Meridian.

The annual awards are presented tocommands that have made notableprogress toward the Department of theNavy (DoN) goals to reduce energy andwater consumption, increase use ofrenewable energy sources and constructsustainable facilities. The DoN energy

program evaluates and classifies theoverall energy and water managementperformance of each installation.Awardees are categorized according toSecNav winners as platinum, gold andblue level achievement.

“Being recognized as a leader in sup-porting SecNav’s goal of shrinkingthe Navy’s energy and waterconsumption footprint is agreat honor and a testa-ment to the base per-sonnel’s commitmentto being a ‘green’team,” said EvelynBaskin, the installationenergy manager forNaval FacilitiesEngineering Command(NavFac) Southeast at NSAPanama City.

“The SecNav recognition is a greathonor reflecting daily boots-on-the-ground hard work,” said Baskin. “NSAPanama City’s energy program recentsuccess is due to an effort in getting all-hands onboard with our energy reduc-tion and management program.”

Baskin said their installation hasbecome an energy champion throughefforts such as mechanics practicingpreventive maintenance to keep facili-

ties “tuned-up” and building energymonitors (BEMs) staying vigilant inreporting energy leaks and displayingenergy awareness materials in theirbuildings.

She added that purchasing EnergyStar products and implementing energy

reduction measures like installingprogrammable thermostats

and high efficiency HVACsystems have also helped

the base meet its energyreduction goals.

Secretary of theNavy Ray Mabus willpresent the Platinumaward to NSA Panama

City officials during aceremony at the U.S.

Navy Memorial & NavalHeritage Center Oct. 3. The

remainder of Navy Region Southeastinstallations is working hard to achievesimilar results as a “culture of conserva-tion” has taken root and continues togrow.

Doug Mercer, director ofInfrastructure Assessment for CNRSE,said that seeing every installation in thesoutheast region earn a SecNav awardfor energy and water conservationshows that meeting energy reduction

goals is a team effort.“We have come a long way in spread-

ing the culture of energy conservation,”Mercer said. “More people are realizingthey can make an individual contribu-tion to our energy independence, andthat the funding we reduce in our utilitybills goes directly to the training andequipment needed to maintain the U.S.Navy as the preeminent force in theworld.”

“Those contributions have added upin the past several years as accolades forCNRSE installations have increased,”said Andrew Rubio, an energy projectsengineer with the Energy ManagementBranch of Naval Facilities EngineeringCommand (NavFac) Southeast.

“In 2007, less than 30 percent ofregion Southeast installations receivedany level of recognition. Since then,concerted efforts across the regionsoutheast – at the installation and regionlevel – emphasized the importance ofthe program piece, and shored up its keycomponents at each installation,” saidRubio. “Fiscal Year 2010 was the firstyear that all Region Southeast installa-tions were recognized for their effortswith a SecNav energy award level ofblue or higher. This trend has continuedand improves today.”

More than 200 militarystaff, friends and familygathered at Naval AviationSchools Command’s(NASC) auditorium towatch the official pinningof some of the Navy’snewest chief petty officersduring a ceremonyonboard Naval Air StationPensacola Sept. 14.

During the event, 54Sailors were promoted tothe rank of chief petty offi-cer (CPO) and joined allthe new chief petty officersthroughout the fleet andaround the globe that day.

Guest speaker, NavalEducation and TrainingCommand’s (NETC)Force Master Chief AprilBeldo, talked about whatguides a chief to success.

“Our mission, visionand guiding principles arean important part of thechief’s way of life. We allhave had numerous oppor-tunities to read them, how-ever, there are a couple ofpoints I think are especiallyimportant for our newestmess members – integrityand character,” she said.“In the guiding principlesit’s noted that chief’s abideby an uncompromising

code of integrity, which isdefined as the firm adher-ence to a code of especiallymoral or artistic values andincorruptibility, an unim-paired condition andsoundness – the quality orstate of being complete orundivided.

“We take full responsi-bility for our actions andkeep our word. This sets apositive tone for the com-mand and it unifies themess and creates esprit decorps. Sounds simpleenough? Well, we can’ttake this for granted and wehave to work at it daily. Wehave to be well aware ofwhat we say and do at alltime and it is our charterthat we strive towards per-fection.”

According to Beldo,chiefs are on the job aroundthe clock.

“We all are chief pettyofficers 24 hours a day andwe can’t afford for ourcredibility to be questionedby any Sailor. So, I’m chal-lenging you at the end ofeach day to do a self-assessment. Were you hon-est in your dealings? Wereyou seen about the deck-plates, training your relief?If you can answer thesequestions positively, thenyou’ve had a good day andare a worthy member of

our chief’s mess.”Beldo also reminded

them to lead from the frontby being active membersof the mess and to neverput themselves in a posi-tion where shipmates, sen-ior or junior, question theircharacter.

“This is your time. Iwant you to embrace it, Iwant you to have fun and Iwant you to look forwardto the days ahead. You are

now ‘The Chief,’ the back-bone of the Navy,” saidBeldo. “When you seesomething wrong in ourmess, address it. If you seea Sailor out of order, cor-rect it, whether they arefrom your command ornot. They are all ourSailors. It’s all our respon-sibility to prepare them tobe the next chief’s messmembers.

“Wherever I may be, I

will conduct myself in amanner that will never everbring discredit upon ourmess or this uniform, and Iwill expect the same fromyou.”

Family members thenpinned two gold fouledanchors to each newlyappointed chief’s uniform,followed by their sponsorsplacing a chief’s combina-tion cover on their heads.Afterward, they sang

“Anchors Aweigh.”The chief’s pinning cer-

emony is a special Navytradition, which dates backto 1893, when the chiefpetty officer pay-grade wascreated. The ceremony sig-nifies a new position ofleadership and responsibil-ity in the Navy.

After walking on stage, Beldowas welcomed by more than600 Sailors reciting the “Sailor’sCreed.” After being introducedby CIDU Command MasterChief Loren Bailey, Beldo spokeabout the pride she feels when-ever she visits a command andmeets with Sailors.

“Hoo-yah Monterey, getsome,” Beldo said. “Every timeI arrive at a command and seeSailors who are motivated anddedicated and volunteered towear the cloth of our nation, Iget a shot of adrenaline. Youraised your right hand becauseyou wanted to, nobody came toyour house, grabbed you andsaid, ‘You have to be a UnitedStates Sailor.’ You did that. Youmade that decision and I’mexcited that each and every oneof you did that very thing.”

Beldo continued by sayingwhy it’s important for them tostay focused on the task at handand to stay away from the wronggroup(s) of people.

start heading down ‘DestructionAvenue’ and lose our focus,” shesaid. “If you happen to findyourself thinking about goingdown that avenue, I want you toremember; why you raised yourright hand, the training you aregoing through, the time youhave invested into your navalcareer, and the time your instruc-tors have invested in you.”

“Then say, what I tell all mySailors, ‘You know what? It’snot even worth it. I think I’mgoing to get back on ‘Get SomeAvenue,’ or ‘Be SuccessfulAvenue,’ and if I hang out longenough, maybe someday I’ll be

on ‘Force Master ChiefBoulevard.’ ”

While fielding questions fromthe audience, Beldo explainedsome of the changes she hadseen during her more than 29-year career regarding womenserving in the Navy.

“When I attended boot campin Orlando, Fla., there were onlyall-male divisions and all-femaledivisions,” she said. “Womenweren’t able to serve on combat-ant ships, but were on tenders,and maybe some supply ships.But that all changed in 1994when women were allowed toserve aboard aircraft carriers. So

now, I believe there are an abun-dance of opportunities for allwomen.

“No matter what your diversebackground is,” she continued,“there is a door that has a bigsign over it called ‘Opportunity.’You can do whatever you wantto do as long as you stay focusedand don’t let people tell youwhat you can’t do.”

Afterward she took time torecognized CIDU’s chapter ofthe Coalition of Sailors AgainstDestructive Decisions(CSADD), thanking them fortheir dedication to helping elim-inate sexual assault among the

ranks. Beldo asked the chapter’spresident, SN Josie Walters, tostep up to the stage so she couldpersonally thank her for all ofher hard work and devotion.

“CSADD is an opportunity,another resource for us to usewhen we feel like there is noth-ing better for us to do except forthings we know we shouldn’t bedoing. You go to the CSADDmeeting, hang out with theCSADD group, and I know theyare doing some great things allacross the country and allthroughout our commands. Iwanted to call you (Walters) uphere and tell you personally,thank you for what you do.”

CSADD is a peer mentoringprogram for active and reserveSailors, Reserve OfficerTraining Corps (ROTC) candi-dates and Junior Reserve OfficerTraining Corps (JROTC) cadetsaimed at promoting good deci-sion-making and leadershipdevelopment at the most juniorlevels.

At the conclusion of the all-hands call, Beldo had these finalwords for the Navy’s future lin-guists.

“Thank you for what you doeach and every day,” she said.“When you wake up in themorning and you look at yourselfyou get to say, ‘It’s going to be agood day, because I made thedecision to be part of a greatorganization and I have nothingbut positive energy to give backto that organization.’ Do asyou’re told, be at work on time,and wear this uniform proudly.That’s all you have to do.”

Service members, firefighters, security officersand civilian employeesgathered at Naval AirStation Whiting Field’scommand building toremember the lives lostand the courageousresponders to the attacksof Sept. 11, 2001.

The quiet morningserved as a respectful trib-ute to the nearly 3,000lives lost during the col-lapse of New York City’stwin towers, the loss ofFlight 93 in Pennsylvaniaand the crash into thePentagon.

Standing in ranks,members from all thecommands on the baseobserved solemnly asCommand ChaplainCmdr. Charles Luff read“Psalm 37” to remind theaudience that evil passesand good endures. He fol-lowed that with a requestfor a moment of silenceand a short prayer to helphonor the memory ofthose who fell that day.

Base CommandingOfficer Capt. MatthewCoughlin spoke about asmall rock memorial topay tribute to those killedon 9/11. He stressed the

words written thereon;“We serve because theycannot.” He said it isincumbent uponAmericans to keep thememory of this day vividin our collective con-sciousness. The emotionsand tragedy of that dayshould not be lost to thosewho come after currentservice members.”I wouldask you to keep the mem-ory of 9/11 alive in thegenerations that follow.We cannot allow fadingmemories to become apervasive threat to futureAmericans,” he stated. “Iam honored and proud toserve with each of youhere today. We mustremain ever vigilant. Weare here to serve becausethey cannot.”

Following the conclu-sion of Coughlin’s speech,“Taps” was playedthroughout the base’sloudspeakers. Then AC1Nina Buruca, MA1 AdamTurner and AB2 OgarryClarke filed out to per-form morning colors.Once the flag was low-ered to half-staff,Command Master ChiefRafael Rosado then pre-sented Turner with awreath to lay at the base ofthe flagpole.

The ceremony took lessthan 30 minutes, but theimportance of the com-memoration was not lost

on those attending.“The event this morn-

ing made me proud. Itreminded me of the rea-

sons I joined in the firstplace,” said Buruca, wholived in New Jersey at thetime of the attacks and

had family in New YorkCity. “It was a trying timein my life. I’m glad wetook time to remember.”

Naval Air Station Whiting Field Staff Associationmembers paddled down the Blackwater River recentlyto have a little fun, enhance camaraderie and help theenvironment all at the same time.

The group, along with several family members and acouple of natural resource interns from the public worksdepartment, canoed down several miles of the riverpicking up assorted garbage to keep the river clean. Theevent is an annual project for the group, and generallynets several hundred pounds of garbage to be disposedof at more appropriate locations.

First time participants Jennifer Brown and RosarioFlores worked with Ron Cherry in the environmentalmanagement division at public works while they arecompleting their studies in Natural ResourceConservation at the University of Florida.

The two interns enjoyed the trip down the river and

called the cleanup “gratifying.” Flores emphasized the beneficial aspects of helping

to keep the environment around your hometown clean.Flores is from Milton and Brown is from Pace.

“It’s like cleaning up my home,” she said. “It wasnice to be able to help maintain the river so others canenjoy it.”

The dozen or so bags the group collected includeditems such as inner tubes, flip flops, sun block bottles,cooler lids, clothing items, and of course, numerouscans and bottles.

“I would definitely do it again,” Brown stressed.

“It’s a great thing to do. It protects the ecosystem andhelps ensure its future.”

The team was just one of many that go down theBlackwater River each year as part of the county’sannual cleanup program. The county and local canoerental agencies encourage local paddlers to removetrash from the watershed each summer and severalorganizations from the base participate. The WhitingField Chief Petty Officer Association held its trip downthe river less than two weeks after the staff association.

The staff team ate a well-deserved lunch at one of thebeaches along the route. The group was then towedback to Whiting Park to complete the day. Even a dous-ing from a typical Florida afternoon thunderstorm didnot dampen the enthusiasm for the participants.

“It is a perfect opportunity to have fun and do some-thing for the community,” Mike Flournoy, the coordina-tor for the event, stated. “We enjoy being able to help.”

(NAPS) – You can feel moresecure that your home canweather any storm if you’ve gota generator to keep the lightsand appliances on in an outage.First, however, it helps to under-stand a few facts about genera-tors. Common myths include:

Myth: Portable generatorsand standby generators arethe same.

Fact: A gasoline-poweredportable generator typicallypowers a few appliances for afew hours at a time. A homestandby generator is permanent-ly installed and can keep thepower on when the primarypower source goes out, so youcan run more appliances contin-ually, such as air conditioners,heaters, refrigerators, clotheswashers/dryers and lights.Portable generators can power awide range of essential itemsand be used in multiple applica-tions, such as camping or tail-gating. Standby generators useyour home’s existing fuelsource (propane or natural gas)and turn on automatically.

Myth: You have to go out-side in a storm to start astandby generator.

Fact: One benefit of standbygenerators is the seamless tran-sition of power. The generatorgoes on automatically withinseconds after utility power goesout. When power is restored, thestandby generator powers offautomatically.

Myth: A large, expensivestandby generator is neces-

sary to power a house.Fact: Power management

systems electronically controlelectrical loads. This lets youpower more with a smaller gen-erator.

Myth: Standby generatorsare clunky eyesores that mustbe placed in the middle of theyard.

Fact: Recent designadvancements may give home-owners more placement flexi-bility. Choose a standby genera-tor that meets strict NationalFire Protection Associationstandards, so it may be placedcloser to the house than in thepast.

Myth: Standby generatorsrequire constant care andupkeep.

Fact: Standby generators areprogrammed to exercise regu-larly – often once a week – toensure that they are in workingcondition in the event of apower outage.

Myth: Portable generatorscan be operated anywhere onyour property, even insideyour house or garage.

Fact: Portable generatorsmust always be operated out-doors and far from doors, win-dows, vents and other openingsto prevent carbon monoxide – apoisonous, odorless, colorless,deadly gas – from gettingtrapped inside the home orgarage. Protect your family witha carbon monoxide alarmwhenever running a portablegenerator.

From Patrice RyanTraining and Curriculum SpecialistCorry Child and Youth Programs

The youth of the Corry Stationand Naval Air Station Pensacolaschool-age care programs teamedup recently to bring some cheer tothe patients at the United CerebralPalsy Center in Pensacola.

Approximately 30 young peo-ple, ranging in age from 10 to 13,participated in the festivities. Thepatients and children participatedtogether in a parachute game withbeach balls, a limbo activity anddancing. Smiles were abundant asa number of the youth assisted thepatients, in their wheelchairs, to“duck” under the limbo stick andmove their arms back and forth tothe beat of the music.

When it was time to say good-bye, many of the patients andyouth exchanged hugs and prom-ises to return again sometime.Some of the youths decorated abanner to leave behind as a holi-

day decoration and reminder oftheir visit.

While some of the young peo-ple had visited the center before,for many this was a new experi-ence. Michelle Ware, Child andYouth Program assistant whocoordinated the visit, was

pleased with how well many ofthe youth responded and partici-pated with the patients. Tripslike these help introduce theyouth to the community beyondthe program and to establish tieswith community programs andservices.
