he rising sun crept slowly over the horizon, spilling drops of sunlight over the Helmand River Valley as Afghan Border Police and Marines trekked across the dunes overlooking the town. At approximately 4:30 a.m., the early morning silence shattered as AH-1W Super Cobra helicopters pierced through the clouds, eliciting smiles from the members of the group – they knew they were not alone. Light armored vehicles armed with 25-mm Bushmaster automatic cannons crested the ridgeline, providing security for the dismounted service members.

The ABP, partnered with the Marines of Company C, 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division

(Forward), descended into the valley June 27 to provide security for the Afghan civilians in the area during Operation Velvet Hammer. The ongoing operation is being conducted to secure the town, disrupt insurgent lines of communication in the area, and begin building a positive relationship with the town’s citizens.

The Marines knew little about the town prior to the operation, as there was no cause for ABP and Marine forces to patrol that area for several years. However, recent information indicated insurgents might be using the area as a transit location for illicit smuggling and it possibly included an improvised explosive device-making cell nearby. The ABP and Marines entered the town on their guard and ready for anything. They moved strategically through lush farmlands, introducing themselves to local residents who live in the mud compounds that make up the town.

Pushing through: 1/6 Marines tackle company attack course CPL. JAMES W. CLARK 2nd Marine Division

There is a certain point during every competition where an athlete hits ‘the wall,’ that immovable mental barrier that shoots through their body, commanding the muscles to stop. The legs become dead weight, arms go limp and long, haggard breaths all force the performer to stagger. It’s at this moment that he must decide to succumb or to use what willpower and drive he has left to push through, taking one step at a time.

All along the line, each Marine with Company B, 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division, had to make that call.

Time and time again, they placed one foot in front of the other and moved forward over jagged, uneven terrain toward their objective during a company-sized exercise at Range

400 aboard Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, Calif., June 6.

The exercise is part of the Enhanced Mojave Viper predeployment training evolution and is a grueling gauntlet where Marines maneuver on an array of objectives while under simulated enemy fire. All the while they are supported by mortars and artillery, which bear down on a fixed enemy position, giving the Marines the opportunity to conduct fire and maneuver before finally closing with their targets.

“Range 400 is probably one of the most complex ranges the Marine Corps has to offer,” said Gunnery Sgt. Brandon Dickenson, the company gunnery sergeant for Company B. “It takes a lot of planning and coordination.”

As is the case in their line of work, Dickenson explained, the best laid plans often

have the best NCOs around,” explained Dickenson, highlighting the fact that other junior Marines were also called up to take charge when their squad leaders became simulated casualties in what is called a cherry-picker.

“The (simulated casualty) puts it into reality,” Dickenson said. “You have to move Marines out of combat and somebody is going to step up and take charge. It puts it into perspective of the realities of combat.”

As the range went cold and the exercise drew to a close, the company formed into their respective sections to receive critiques by the observers. The ability to receive constructive criticism now, with a deployment to Afghanistan looming on the horizon, can pay dividends down the road as it allows the Marines to make their mistakes and learn their lessons back in the states rather than on the front.

go out the window once the fighting begins.

This forces the Marines to rely on their ace in the hole: their unrivaled ability to adapt.

“I think that Marines are Marines – they’ve learned from boot camp how to adapt and overcome. They’re used to it,” said Dickenson.

Cpl. Christopher Ginandt, a designated marksman with second platoon, Company B, agrees with Dickenson’s assessment.

“The biggest thing is to be sure that everyone knows their part,” said Ginandt. “We do rehearsals and plan for what may happen, but you often have to do it on the fly.”

The secret to their success often stems from small unit leadership in the form of noncommissioned officers who are tasked with making critical decisions at the drop of a hat.

tepping through the doorway threshold with rifles at the ready, a fire team of Marines with third platoon, Company F, Anti-Terrorism Battalion, attached to 2nd Marine Division, clears the abandoned room with smooth efficiency. After confirming the room is secure, a Marine yells, “Four Marines exiting,” and with the polished and controlled proficiency of true professionals, the Marines exit – ready for the next room and any threat it might hold.

Room after room, fire team after fire team, this scene repeated itself as the Marines of Company F underwent the Basic Urban Skills Training course held at the Military Operations on Urban Terrain facility aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 7.

The BUST is a weeklong course, covering a multitude of skills such as basic room-clearing techniques, fire team movement on urban terrain and tech-

niques for patrolling through an urban setting.

“These are essential skills for us to know,” said Cpl. David McDowell, a squad leader with fourth platoon, Company F. “Right now, we are selected as a quick reaction force for the Middle East and at any time we can find ourselves in an urban environment.”

The training is meant to help the Marines understand how to maneuver through an urban environment and feel comfortable in their ability to take on the enemy.

“This course gives the Marines skills that allow them to effectively take out the enemy and ultimately save Marine lives,” said Sgt. Andrew Simpler, a squad leader with second platoon, Company F. For the following weeks, each platoon from Company F will undergo the BUST course, ensuring every Marine receives a firm grasp of the training.

“I believe the Marines are doing extremely well, and if they walk away with at least the basic fundamentals of urban warfare, I’ll be happy,” said Simpler.

BaseLegal Base Legal

By M.S. Archer

House considers laws to curb rent-to-own abuses Later this month, the Financial Services Committee of the United States House of Representatives will be conducting hearings concerning the regulation of rent-toown purchases. RTO purchases are problematic, often involving extremely costly charges and interest to people who can least afford them.

In the typical RTO transaction, the consumer agrees to lease the property with no obligation to make any payments after some initial period. The consumer also has an option to purchase by making payments for a specified period (usually around 12 to 24 months) and by paying additional charges or fees. A 2001 study by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission concluded that the majority of “renters,” use RTO as a means of purchasing goods, not renting them.

Unfortunately, when all of the payments have been completed, consumers may be paying two or three times the price as would have been charged if purchased outright.

Worse, RTO customers may even be paying much more for the goods than if they had used a credit card or taken out a high interest loan.

As with a loan, the RTO consumer makes periodic payments that cumulatively exceed the price of purchasing outright. If the transaction were deemed a loan, this excess cost would be classified as interest. However, since the consumer has the option to terminate payments and return the merchandise (even if most don’t) the law does not necessarily consider the deal to be a loan or credit transac-

tion. Thus, the RTO transaction generally evades consumer protections limiting interest rates. Further, the RTO transaction may also escape regulation under the Federal Truth in Lending Act, which would otherwise require disclosure of the total cost to the consumer as well as the effective annual interest rate.

This combination of legal loopholes may allow the RTO merchant essentially to charge you interest rates in excess of 100 percent, and not even tell you about it.

The proposed “Consumer Rental Purchase Agreement Act” (HR 1588) is designed to protect consumers and to close at least some of those loopholes. The Act would require RTO merchants to clearly and conspicuously disclose all of the costs associated with the purchase and to make such disclosure prior to the parties signing the contract. Further, if the merchant sells insurance for the property, he must disclose the cost of the insurance up front and the consumer must sign a statement requesting such insurance if he wants to buy it. Disclosures include the total cash price, any fees, charges or penalties, and the number and amount of each periodic payment.

The act also seeks to protect consumers from unreasonable forfeiture of property. Consumers who miss a monthly payment may prevent repossession of the property by paying all past due amounts and the next month’s payment within seven days of the missed payment.

Consumers who voluntarily return the property have 60 days (120 days if the consumer has paid at least

half of the amount needed to own) to reinstate the rental agreement by paying all amounts due plus the next month’s rent.

The act would also prohibit any contractual provision requiring the consumer to pay more for damaged property than the lesser of (a) the fair market value of the property, (b) the early purchase option amount, or (c) the cost of repair. In addition, the act prohibits any contractual clauses purporting to allow merchants to enter the consumer’s home without the consumer’s consent.

Military RTO consumers who have been surprised or dismayed by extraordinary expenses associated with their purchase, or who otherwise want to help inform the legal assistance office, the relevant House committee, or other authorities concerning their experience, are encouraged to e-mail Michael. archer@usmc.mil. Scanned copies of RTO contracts and related documents are greatly appreciated, but not required.

Military consumers considering RTO as a purchasing strategy may want to consider instead delaying the purchase until the item can be bought outright, purchased elsewhere at a better price, or purchased at a lower price using a traditional installment payment loan.

At the very least, before entering into a RTO contract, consumers should have a clear idea of the cash price of the item, the total cost to the consumer, and the penalties –including possible repossession if payments are missed or not made on time.

The value of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune has grown over the years as men and women have trained to fight wars in the Pacific Islands, Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq. MCB Camp Lejeune has also proven invaluable for the training and deployment of Marines for such actions as peacekeeping in Lebanon, tactical recovery of aircraft and personnel missions, drug interdiction missions and a host of noncombatant evacuation operations. The idea of Special Operations Capable Marine Expeditionary Units was born at MCB Camp Lejeune, and in that spirit of innovation Marines here continue to strive to anticipate and meet the future of warfare in regimes such as urban operations, vehicle convoy operations, improvised explosive devices detection and handling, as well as in longstanding Marine Corps’ competencies such as amphibious operations, close-air support and employment of naval gunfire.

PATROL BASE DEH MEZONG, AFGHANISTAN

Afghan soldiers, Marines rescue bus survivors 1ST LT. TIMOTHY IRISH

Regimental Combat Team 8

Patrol Base Deh Mezong, in the district of Khash Rud, became a mass casualty triage and treatment facility after a bus full of Afghan civilians struck an improvised explosive device, June 30.

Afghan medics worked hand-in-hand with U.S. Navy medical providers to treat the steady stream of injured civilians delivered to the base.

A convoy from the Afghan National Army, the 6th Kandak, 2nd Brigade, 215th Corps, was driving on Route 606 when they struck an IED. A bus, traveling the other direction, attempted to drive around the stopped convoy. Afghan soldiers signaled for the bus to stop but it continued on, triggering another IED. A quick reaction force of ANA and Marine vehicles, Afghan soldiers with the Kandak and Marines with the Kandak’s adviser team were dispatched to the scene of the accident once word came back from the convoy.

The Afghan ambulances and pickup trucks began returning from the bus with the injured moments before the quick reaction force left the small patrol base.

“I didn’t know whether there would be more casualties on the site with the bus or more casualties that had been brought to us,” said Capt. Richard Porter, commander of the Kandak’s adviser team, referring to his decision to split up

his medical providers.

“As it turned out, more casualties had already been brought to us, so it was all up to an ANA medic, one corpsman, and a bunch of Afghan soldiers and Marines to triage, treat and evacuate (the wounded) to the landing zone.”

Yar Mohammed Shinwary, the kandak commander, stayed at the scene and led the effort to rescue as many survivors as possible, loading them into his trucks after the ambulances were full. He returned to the base with the second wave of casualties.

The two commanders worked with what they had to save as many lives as possible. The Afghan commander worked to pull survivors from the bus while the Marine commander led the triage efforts at the base.

“The ANA medic was working on the people who were injured while the corpsman was triaging and treating as he could,” said Porter, describing the patrol base triage facility. “The ANA soldiers were good about moving people around on stretchers. They were moving quick, getting everyone moved to where they needed to be. The ANA noncommissioned officers were keeping people out who didn’t need to be there.”

ANA soldiers sprinted from the triage tents to an open field to secure a landing zone for the medical evacuation flights.

A U.S. Army UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter lands to medically evacuate survivors from a bus that hit an improvised explosive device, June 30. Afghan soldiers from the 6th Kandak, 2nd Brigade, 215th Corps, rescued civilians from the blast and treated them at their base before sending them to follow-on care at Camp Bastion. and Forward Operating Base Delaram II, arrived evacuating seven critically wounded civilians with the first flight.

“After we loaded up the first flight, we put seven urgent casualties into it and they took off. Then the second flight started to come in, and we had three that were going to go on to it. One of them died. CPR was ineffective,” said Porter.

Porter reflected that his Marines would not have been able to complete the rescue by themselves.

“If it hadn’t been for (the ANA), we wouldn’t have been able to get the injured up to the triage center because they had ambulances and we didn’t. They also provided enough muscle for us to move all of the injured. They had more stretcher bearers than we did, and they provided the bulk of the security.”

Thirteen bus passengers died from the initial blast and more than 10 were wounded and treated by Afghan National Security Forces.

Relics of three decades of war are scattered about the mountainsides and along the river in the Kajaki District.

Soviet mines, tarnished tanks and artillery pieces, and an ever-present threat of improvised explosive devices are a constant reminder of the instability of the area of Kajaki.

Second Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, holds security of the largest asset in the area — the Kajaki Dam. The link between this power source, the Marines of Second Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment and the citizens of Kajaki is a team of Marines from the 4th Civil Affairs Group.

The Kajaki Civil Affairs Team, which is based out of Washington, D.C., and attached to Second Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment, arrived in Afghanistan in late May to

help encourage peace and stability through key leader engagements and development projects in the Kajaki District.

“Up until May, the Kajaki District did not had a civil affairs team operating in it,” stated Capt. Raphael Clarke, the officer in charge of the CAT. “We are coming into a very ‘green’ area of operations that has not had this capability in it. We are starting at ground zero and working our way up.”

One of the CAT’s responsibilities is to assist the commanding officer for Second Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment and the district governor of Kajaki in their decisions effecting the citizens of the district.

“In this environment we are able to advise the commander on missions and different courses of actions and what kind of effect they will have on the people,” said Sgt. Christopher Gonzales, the enlisted team leader for

the CAT. “It is very important (to have support from the local citizens). The things we do effect the people and benefit the people, therefore, we must gain their support for our operations.”

Clarke, Gonzales, and other Marines in the CAT work closely with Second Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment to engage with the local residents in the villages surrounding the forward operating base. Gonzales said they meet daily with members of Second Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment to coordinate civil affairs plans and interaction with the local citizens. He also mentioned it is their job to help mentor local government officials and help them promote political and economic stability.

Callaway shows the boot he was wearing when he stepped on a defective anti-personnel mine June 26 near Patrol Base Shark Tooth, Sangin District, Afghanistan.

The two Armed Forces Retirement Homes located in Washington, D.C., and Gulfport, Miss. are available to retirees with a slight wait to be accepted. The requirements are: retirees with 20 or more years of service, retirees who are unable to earn a livelihood due to a service-connected disability and retirees who served in a war theater. They must be able to care for their own needs, attend a central dining facility for meals, and keep all medical appointments at time of admission. If their health diminishes after arriving, assisted living and longterm care are available at both sites.

These are safe and beautiful facilities with many accommodations available such as dining facilities, shopping, barbershops, various recreation facilities on site, medical attendance and more. The newly reconstructed site at Gulfport provides an average room of 430 square feet to each resident.

The cost is very reasonable at both sites. Independent living residents must contribute 35 percent of total current income, but not to exceed $1,238 each month. Assisted living residents must contribute 40 percent, but not to exceed $1,856 each month. Longterm care residents contribute 65 percent, but not to exceed $3,094 each month. The true intrinsic value of these facilities is the companionship of the fellow residents. All are retirees with similar life stories of dedication, challenge, and resourcefulness to continue through life after serving as protector of this nation and its people. Having visited both sites I was very proud of the care I saw shown to the residents by the staff. I saw a thriving, alert and progressive population that I don’t see in my visits to other care facilities. I believe the difference lies in the fact that the residents have a common background and a bond to motivate each other, along with a staff that honors the resident’s service and sacrifices made.

Potential applicants can take a tour of the sites.

To schedule a visit call 800-332-3527 or 800-4229988. Individuals visiting the Washington site are entitled to complimentary lodging in guest rooms and a limited number of meals. There will be a representative from the AFRH at the 2011 Camp Lejeune Retiree Appreciation Day event Oct. 1 at Marston Pavilion.

Marine survives close encounter with anti-personnel mine LANCE CPL. BRUNO J. BEGO 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward)

ccording to the United Nations’ Mine Clearance Program, Afghanistan is the most heavily mined country in the world. There are nearly 10 million landmines littering 530 kilometers of Afghan soil.

Some of these mines emplaced by insurgents, but most are leftover from the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979.

Cpl. Brock E. Callaway, a combat engineer with Combat Logistics Battalion 8, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), was clearing a path with a mine detector when he stepped on a defective anti-personnel mine June 26, near Patrol Base Shark Tooth, Sangin District, Afghanistan. “Our team was cutting down some trees to establish a new post for Marines in the area,� Callaway explained. “We were told the area we were going to work on wasn’t clear.�

Before the Marines started working, Callaway swept the area around the first two trees thoroughly. “When I finished, I started clearing

the next two trees and that’s when I stepped on the mine,� he said.

The mine was buried along the trees near a canal. Water exposure caused the explosive material to fail, reducing its effectiveness. “At first I thought I lost my legs,â€? he explained. “The blast pushed me back a couple of feet away‌ As soon as I landed I got up and ran back toward the Marines. All I could think about was running as far as I could from that place.â€?

The explosion wasn’t strong enough to injure Callaway. Cpl. David P. Veneziani, a combat engineer with 2nd MLG (Fwd.), who was standing nearby. “I was approximately 10 or 15 meters away cutting some trees, when everything happened,â€? Veneziani said. “We heard a small explosion ‌ so I looked over and saw (Callaway) running toward us.â€? “The first thing I noticed was that he had all his extremities, which of course, was my first concern,â€? he added. “So I grabbed him, I threw him up on my shoulders in a fireman’s carry and got him away from that area.â€?

Once the Marines reached a different and more secured position, Veneziani along with Cpl. Howard W. Laur,

a combat engineer, proceeded to check Callaway for injuries. “I was mainly providing security, looking around as we took him up on the hill,� Laur explained. “Once we stopped we started treating him. We removed his shoes to make sure nothing was broken, we also took his pants off to see if he had any real serious injuries on his legs.�

Once Veneziani and Laur finished examining Callaway, they took him back to the base to be transported to the medical facility aboard Camp Bastion to receive further assistance. “This was definitely a wakeup call,�

Callaway said. “I consider myself very fortunate to be able to walk. “I am not going to deny that I am a little nervous to go back outside the wire again, but I knew the risks when I joined the Marine Corps,�

Callaway concluded. “This is my job and will continue doing it regardless of the circumstances.�

Callaway wants to stay in the Marine Corps to become an instructor at his military occupational school. He intends to use his experience to teach entry level Marines going through engineer school about how to mitigate the dangers they may face when they deploy.

Humor, heroism define fallen Marine SGT. JESSE STENCE

Regimental Combat Team 1

Silence settled over Patrol Base Lambert after Cpl. Matthew T. Richard’s memorial service. A steady current of hot desert air coursed its way through the Helmand combat position where Richard’s squad huddled together, finding comfort in each other’s presence.

Comfort was an arm draped over a shoulder: two Marines standing side by side, their pained, bleary-eyed smiles reflecting an internal collision of courage and despair.

More than anything, the Company G squad seemed to remember the fallen team leader from Iota, La., for his unbridled, comical personality and contagious enthusiasm, which were manifested even in his flaws.

“He was an amazing Marine but could get on your nerves sometimes, ‘cause he was quick to add what he thought of the conversation or situation,” said Sgt. Jonathon Moulder, Richard’s squad leader. “That’s who he was though, and I wouldn’t have changed it for anything.”

In fact, Richard excelled in the Marine Corps. He impressed Moulder as an extraordinarily driven individual who strove to “be the best at anything he was doing or put his mind to.” The effusively energetic team leader was combat meritoriously promoted to his present rank in March, one month before his 21st birthday.

Moulder also observed Richard’s sense of responsibility for his junior Marines.

“I would say that he led them to the best of his abilities,” Moulder said. “He loved his junior Marines in almost every way possible. He took care of them and wanted to ensure that they didn’t get hurt in any way.”

Off duty, Richard was always looking for fun, said Lance Cpl. Gary Walsh, an infantryman in Company G and a close friend of Richard. At the barracks, he was commonly sighted with a smile on his face.

During the memorial and afterward, the Marines who knew Richard held nothing back. Humor and heroism blended in stories of youthful optimism as uncompromising as Richard’s personality.

“He was quick to jump in to any situation even if he had no clue what was going on,” Walsh said. “He was an outspoken individual. You knew he was there and would add his two cents to anything.”

Moulder describes a bold, outgoing and endearingly vain Marine.

“He was a gym rat like myself, but I would always catch him in the smallest mirror possible just flexing away right after a workout,” Moulder said.

The combination of his virtues and petty vices were his essence: the memory that Company G cherishes.

“My lasting impression of Matt was that he was the best friend a guy could have,” Walsh said. “He will never be forgotten by anyone who had the privilege of spending any time with him. From his big goofy smile to his antics, he was one of a kind who will never be replaced.”

Editor’s Note: Richard made the ultimate sacrifice, June 9, while supporting combat operations in Northern Marjah, Helmand province, as a part of Operation Enduring Freedom. Richard’s personal awards include the Purple Heart Medal, Combat Action Ribbon, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, and Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal. Richard is survived by his parents and his two siblings.

Truck Company Marines off-road at Lejeune LANCE CPL. WALTER D. MARINO II 2nd Marine Division

On the outskirts of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune lies an off-roading enthusiast’s heaven. Bumpy dirt roads run for miles, surrounded by nothing but endless trees. While not motocross professionals, Marines from Truck Company, Headquarters Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, certainly looked the part.

To improve their driving skills in harsh conditions and prepare for future deployments, more than 30 Marines from Truck Company repeatedly ran through rugged terrain courses with humvees.

“The purpose of this course is to instill confidence in Marines while operating an armored vehicle in less than favorable terrain

– slopes, dips, narrow bridge crossings, valleys,” said Sgt. Jeremy T. Newby, an instructor for the company.

After reviewing the safety rules with the Marines, Newby told them to have fun but not to break the vehicles.

“It builds confidence with maneuvering in what it might be like in Afghanistan,” said Pvt. Louis C. Acampora, a motor transport operator with the company. “I like the bumps section. I’d like to see this again, but with a different course – maybe a little more rugged.”

Both junior and senior Marines went through the course. Any questions younger Marines had were answered by the more seasoned Marines present.

“I try to have the junior Marines pick my brain,” said Cpl. Kristopher C. Lanz, a motor transport

operator with the company, who has deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan. “My job is to help them through deploying and make sure they know what to do in case something went down. It gives them a chance to get hands-on experience with the vehicles.”

Humvees kicked up dirt as Marines drove into the evening. When the sun died down, drivers used night vision goggles to work through the course.

As Marines continue to deploy on a regular basis, the instructors see this as a valuable tool for motor transport Marines to grow their skill set.

“This annual training – to me, this is one of the better training activities because the Marines get a chance to see what these vehicles are capable of,” said Newby.

KAJAKI FROM 3A governor to advise him on the best means of providing essential services for people.

These relationships are essential so the district governor can host small- and large-scale projects for local economic growth and sustainability in the most efficient manner possible.

“We utilized all (non-combative) options to promote peace to improve security and stabilize the Kajaki District,” said Clarke. “We can be as creative and innovative as we want to achieve our mission objective.”

The CAT has recently had meetings with Kajaki local residents and members of the district governor’s office to discuss ideas to get the district moving in a forward direction. Security was a key piece of the conversation. Their concerns were that of the dwindling population in the area due to a determined insurgent presence and the many IEDs littering most of the main routes to Kajaki.

A Kajaki native, a man referred to as Rosie, is the head of personal security for the district governor and expressed the need to clear the roads of IEDs so the population can return. He said he believes once the population begins to increase, the people of Kajaki can recruit for local security.

“The people need security. (It is the) one thing Kajaki District needs to develop itself and move forward. There is a self-starter attitude here,” said Clarke.

The Marines said they could sense the resentment their Afghan associates feel toward the insurgents, who raid their villages and prevent free range of travel in this northern part of the province.

The CAT must now work to find the most reasonable solutions and advise the district governor on what can be done to clear and secure the routes and what noncombative actions can be taken to mitigate these night raids.

Clarke and Gonzales both concur Kajaki has unlimited development potential. The members of the CAT said

maintaining open lines of communication with the local population and with higher levels of the Afghan government is important for development to begin.

“We will continue to support, equip, and advise the district governor, and we will look to do small-scale projects that directly serve the immediate needs of the people,” said Clarke in regards to their future plans. “We are going to put in writing a grassroots petition to the provincial government and, if needed, the national government to open up Route 611.”

Route 611 is one of the main routes in the area and connects Kajaki to the rest of the province. The members of the CAT said it is essential to clear the portions of this route which are laden with IEDs before the people will feel safe enough to return.

The CAT members at Kajaki said they feel there is a long road ahead of them, but with the motivation and experience from each person on the team, they believe there is hope for the future.

“I think Kajaki has unlimited development potential. I feel Kajaki is right for some great civil affairs work,” Clarke stated. “Hope is a course of action.”

Editor’s note: The Civil Affairs Team is attached to Battery E, 2nd Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment. The battalion is currently assigned to Regimental Combat Team 1, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), which heads Task Force Leatherneck. The task force serves as the ground combat element of Regional Command (Southwest) and works in partnership with the Afghan National Security Force and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to conduct counterinsurgency operations. The unit is dedicated to securing the Afghan people, defeating insurgent forces, and enabling ANSF assumption of security responsibilities within its area of operations in order to support the expansion of stability, development and legitimate governance.

HELMAND PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN

Afghan dog fights like Marine CPL. JEFF DREW 2nd Marine Division (Forward)

He defends Marines and sailors with love and tenacity, protecting them as any Marine would protect a brother-in-arms.

He is the epitome of man’s best friend, shielding service members from the enemy while providing companionship and camaraderie. His name is Willy Pete, and he’s a warrior, a protector, a friend. He’s also a dog.

Company D, 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division (Forward), arrived in the Khan Neshin District in the summer of 2009 for a seven-month deployment and established a coalition presence in the Southwest part of Afghanistan. The LAR Marines pushed west to gain a firm position in a town called Qal’ah-ye Now, where they found two dogs in a compound they began using as a patrol base.

The dogs were beaten and malnourished. One of them was pregnant and the Marines named her Sandy; the other dog was small and frail, and the Marines fittingly named him Scraggles.

The company adopted the two dogs, who accepted the Marines as family. Sandy soon had her litter of puppies, one of which would be named Willy Pete. All the puppies went to local residents to protect their farms and herd livestock, but Willy had a different opportunity – he went to the Marines of Company D for companionship.

Scraggles and Sandy grew fond of the Ma-

Willy has gone on more than 30 combat patrols in the last 60 days. rines in Qal’ah-ye Now and began to protect the patrol base, keeping unwanted dogs and suspicious people away. Willy began to demonstrate the same protective traits of his mother as he grew.

He also learned how to patrol with the Marines, what a patrol formation was, and how to react when they came in contact with the enemy.

Willy has gone through three complete combat rotations since then as each LAR unit has taken charge of the area in the past two years.

The veteran dog usually takes the lead when the Marines go on patrol now. He stays in front until the Marines pass through the bazaar outside the combat outpost.

Local residents often look up in recognition of the dog, who seems to fancy himself a Marine.

Willy relocates to a new position once he establishes a clear path for the Marines and begins mov-

What sets

ing from one side of the patrol to the other, warning Marines of anyone’s approach with a quick bark or a low growl.

The many stray dogs in the area tend to be very aggressive and travel in packs. Marines routinely spot Willy scrapping with a pack of wild dogs that approach his Marines.

“I had my squad on a local security patrol in Kala Shureh – we refer to the town as ‘Dog Town’ because of the large amount of wild dogs in the area,” said Sgt. Joshua Davis, a squad leader with weapons platoon, 2nd LAR. “All of the dogs were overly aggressive and tried to stop the patrol’s movement by intimidating the Marines.

Willy Pete single handily fought off five wild dogs to protect them. After Willy engaged the dogs, my squad was able to push through the village to complete our patrol.”

Willy also remains

an integral part of security when the Marines and sailors return to the patrol base. He tours the grounds with the sergeant of the guard, chasing stray dogs out of friendly lines and warning the watchstanders if anyone approaches the outpost.

The Marines said they appreciate Willy’s dedication, as he provides them companionship and demonstrates his loyalty each day by returning to the fight.

“Willy never walks in the other direction or tries to hide when he sees a squad heading out for a patrol,” said Lance Cpl. Philip Bulford, a mortar gunner with the company.

“I believe that Willy believes it’s his duty and an honor to protect us from what may lie ahead.”

Willy bears the scars from the explosion of an improvised explosive device and a gunshot wound from an enemy insurgent due to his relentless enthusiasm and unyielding vigor to protect the Marines. Still, his loyalty to the Marines is unrelenting.

“He is a proven veteran and a wounded warrior,” said Staff Sgt. Anthony J. Eichler, the platoon sergeant for weapons platoon.

“Willy is always tirelessly watching over what I would assume he considers ‘his’ Marines.

He is a friend of all Marines, and he works hard every day on patrol and for the security of (the outpost). He’s been knocked down a few times, but continues on with the mission just like any Marine would be expected to do.”

Marines take to ice in Wilmington hockey league RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor

I

n mid-April at the first interest meeting for a potential hockey team made of all service members from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Coach Eric Carlson asked the room how many of the men had been watching the National Hockey League playoffs.

All raised their hands.

Carlson then asked them what the motto was for the playoff commercials this year.

“History will be made,” they responded.

Carlson told the service members that they, too, will make history, becoming the first hockey team MCB Camp Lejeune has ever fielded.

Nearly three months later, MCB Camp Lejeune is represented by not one, but two teams in the Wilmington Ice House’s Adult A/B Summer League. Nearly 30 Marines make up the rosters for The Few and The Proud, and Carlson, a former Marine, said he was not completely surprised with the response the team has gotten.

“I figured out of 40,000-plus Marines on Camp Lejeune that I could get at least 10 or so,” he said. “When I was in the Marine Corps, I thought it would be great to try and start an ice hockey team … but I never got around to it. I got out about four years ago and finally got around to it.”

Monday, the two teams took to the ice and faced each other for the second time this season, with The Few (5-3) taking down The Proud (2-4) 4-3 in a shootout. The first match-up between the two squads ended with the same score as well.

“We’re too even,” joked Aaron Machado, captain of The Proud.

“We are so even in talent. It’s amazing to watch … (Usually) in the last five minutes of the third period, teams struggle to stand up on the ice against us. When we play each other, we have to play the full 60 minutes because we’re all in the same shape.”

Summer has been trying time for fishermen Onslow Offshore With Dr. Bogus

“And although catching a great fish can sometimes look like simple luck, every fisherman knows it’s more than that: something like intelligent curiosity combined with cagey skillful persistence, more like luck at poker than on a slot machine.

Whatever you call it, I think a lot of us fish day after day as much for what could happen as for what actually does happen.” -Standing in a River Waving a Stick by John Gierach.

These days the ‘what could happen’ is far outweighing anything that is actually happening, as far as fishing goes. I’m not sure if Thomas Paine fished, but it is fishing that truly will try (fisher) men’s souls.

As I write this report, the news isn’t good.

Water temperatures have taken a serious turn upward, now at 84 degrees in the surf at Bogue Pier and equally distressing 86 degrees at Island Harbor Marina.

These are morning temperatures and reek of summertime doldrums. In addition, the water is muddy as Yoo-Hoo, thus excluding many perfectly respectable fish and, on top of that, the surf is jam packed full of weeds that look like maroon

Brillo Pads. Try and fish that.

Last week, I did have one day of action in the surf and it went a long way in putting, albeit briefly, the bounce back in my step.

On Wednesday there were drum in the surf at the Emerald Isle Pointe.

I landed one 21-incher, lost another after a runoff and missed two more, one of which I saw him hit and miss my tandem rig. And that was inside the breakers at dead low tide, in the knee deep white foam and full of weeds.

The bad news was the sharks. At one point, I could see and individually count four playing follow the leader in 2-feet of water or less along the rim of a sandbar I was fishing. One shark’s tail fin almost bumped an angler that was fishing just a few feet from me.

His tail wagged from the deeper drop-off to the top of the bar, these fish were close … very close. He never even saw it. They were probably looking for drum as well.

But the next day, fishing went back to normal, still weeds and sharks, just no drum. I did see some good numbers of hardhead mullet running the surf, though. I worked them for a while, hoping to find some

predators, but nothing.

The ocean fishing piers, from Topsail Island to Bogue Banks, Isl are also in the doldrums with scattered bottom wi fish, fis h maybe a few small blues blu u and a flounder or sheepshead to be found she when the water clears. wh King mackerel on the Kin piers - non existent. The i only big game is the occasional tarpon cameo appearance. Oh, I forgot the pinfish, but they aren’t of any size to brag about either.

I did mention sheepshead and flounder earlier. Although there are only a few to be had along the beach, the bite is still strong on the nearshore wrecks, reefs and rocks, I’m sure you know them by now. There are also plenty of flounder around the inlets and usual places like behind Shackleford Banks, but if you want keepers you need to work the justoff-the-beach nearshore structure of some of the serious inside structure like the Atlantic Beach Causeway and the Port wall areas.

Actually one of the stars of the season is the sheepshead. They are at the piers, when you get some clean water, and inside along any of the hard structure stuff like bridges, dock and pier pilings. You can also often find them around prominent oyster beds in the marsh areas. Live shrimp, fiddler crabs, any kind of crabs and, yes, sea urchins work great for big sheepshead, too.

The only place I know that sells live sea urchins is Chasin’ Tails along the Atlantic Beach Causeway. They have been weighing a number of fish from the five to 10 pounds. They fight like the devil and they are great eating as well.

Make sure you have sharp stout hooks, and

some 20- to 30-pound test braid for best results.

Other inside fishing is slow. Nobody seems to be able to find any real concentrations of red drum. I’ve talked to guides, redfish tournament tour fishermen and just guys like you and me. The answer I get is only the gestures of their hands up in the air and a puzzled look on their faces.

At most, small schoollets of three to five fish are the norm if you see any at all. At least some of this is probably related to last winter’s protracted and excessively cold water temperatures.

Near the beach, there is still a decent Spanish bite from 15 to 25 feet of water off the beach and of course over any of the reefs and rocks.

The biggest fish are still being taken on small live pogies. In years past, you could depend on fishing some good action with snake kings. This year, it’s more not than often.

Where are the kings?

You tell me. Although there seem to be still decent numbers of small pogies in the sound around the deeper holes and in the creeks, the nearshore menhaden have done somewhat of a disappearing act lately, after an early season of abundance.

Offshore? The weather has not cooperated for much of the season, so there may be plenty of fish out there, but lately you can’t get to there from here. And besides, now the menhaden are playing hide and seek.

The Ask Dr. Bogus Fishing show, heard every Monday morning at 7:30 on WTKF, 107.1 FM and 1240 AM, can be accessed on the Coastal Daybreak Facebook page.

The Derby Dames have been together for almost a month, already have 11 members and are ready and waiting to bring one of the fastest growing women’s sports in America to town. The team, which practices at the outdoor hockey rink aboard Marine Corps Air Station New River, is made up of Marine and Navy spouses, girlfriends and daughters and is already itching for their first bout.

“We’re ready to go and show everyone what military girls can do,” said Amy Monroe, one of the two women behind the creation of the Derby Dames.

The idea for a roller derby team in Onslow County initially came out of the blue. Monroe befriended Ellee Hunter and threw out the idea of a roller derby team one day, much to Hunter’s surprise.

“It’s a growing experience, learning how to (manage the team and) have women that have like-minded ideas,” said Hunter. “Everyone has different personalities. We have dysfunctional people and we love them (for it).”

Despite the team’s short time together, they have already grown very close to one another, forming a family

that does almost everything together both on and off the rink.

“We all may be loud and obnoxious, but everyone here has got such a good heart and is so familyoriented,” said Monroe. “It’s really amazing. I really enjoy working with the girls.”

That good heart will soon be on display for all as the Derby Dames are currently working with the Wounded Warriors on a calendar to help benefit service members and their families, which are often forgotten. Monroe said the team is planning on shooting 1920s style pin-up shots with Wounded Warriors and that the team is also trying to become a nonprofit organization in an effort to help families always be there for their loved ones in their time of need.

Clearly, this team is about much more than fishnet leggings and roller skates.

“We really want to give back to the community,” said Monroe. “Not only in doing this and providing a sport for wives and girlfriends. A lot of the girls that came here said, ‘We just want to start working out.

We want to have that group, that family to hang out SEE DAMES 7B

Look For Our Insert In This Week’s Paper!

HOCKEY FROM 1B exploded in the third period. Ryan Howell, captain of The Few, gave his team a 3-1 advantage after beating The Proud’s goalie, David Dandrea, twice in the span of one minute and six seconds.

But The Few would not be denied.

Showing the trademark Marine resiliency, they fought back and were able to tie the game on goals from Kenneth Robinson and Anthony Ferguson, the later coming with just over five minutes remaining in regulation. It was two of the few times The Few’s goalie, Sean Kittredge, was beaten all night. Kittredge finished the evening with 32 saves, including an amazing glove save and a diving stop reminiscent of one of the many stops Bruins’ goalie Tim Thomas made during this year’s Stanley Cup Playoffs.

At times throughout the game, players seemed to get really chippy with one another, continuing to talk after a whistle blew the play dead. But Carlson was never worried. As his teams argued back and forth, he just smiled and said, “Competition breeds camaraderie.”

“The chippiness isn’t really chippiness,” said Howell. “When you have a collective group of guys that have played at such a high level of hockey, we’re all competitive and hungry for that win and we’re all going to get into the moment of the game. No matter what happens on the ice, what’s said, what’s done, the second we come off the ice, nothing has changed. There might be some razzing between the guys, but it’s nothing that holds grudges for a long time.”

To the Marines, this is more than just a hockey game. To them, this is an escape from the everyday stresses and pressures of being a Marine and a way to get back to playing the game that they have loved since they were kids.

“All of us work so hard day in and day out,” said Howell. “To have a chance to get away from it - an escape from the world of being a Marine and go into something that you are passionate about means a lot to all of us. We try to give back as much as we can. Before games and open skates, we’ll try to coach the little kids. Being a

Marine, there’s only so much we can do … It’s an alternate way of surviving the day-to-day grind of being a Marine.”

As Howell, Machado and The Few forward Josh Ober pointed out, all these Marines gave up their dreams of playing hockey when they joined the Marine Corps and were just happy to be able to play it again.

Both teams are able to field decentsized squads on most Monday evenings, when the teams play their summer league games and have the honor of representing the Marine Corps, something none of the players take lightly. “(Representing the Corps) means a lot to me because I’m doing two things that I love to do,” said Machado. “I love this country and I love hockey. There’s no greater feeling and no greater bond than the hockey bond we have with (our teammates) and we have a Marine bond (as well). We now have another thing in common other than, ‘I know his name and I’ll die for him.’ Now, I’ll also go out there and work my (butt) off on every shift for (my team) and know that we’re going to win.”

“We’re going to win (the championship),” said Machado. “It’s going to be us. (The Proud) has clicked.

We’ve found our sweet spots. We’ve found our lines. We’ve found who we want to play with and how we’re going to make it happen. You’ll see my team (The Proud) playing (The Few) for the championship. And it’s going to end up in a shootout … One of our teams will win the championship, and that’s all that matters.”

All games at the Wilmington Ice House are free and the players have said that they would help with transportation if needed. Both teams will be combining for an exhibition game this Saturday at 5:15 p.m. against some of the better skaters in the league.

The teams will also be holding a tryout for the fall league Aug. 27 from 4:45 to 6:45 p.m.

DAMES FROM 3B and practice with.”

The team has all levels of talent, from advanced skaters to women who haven’t skated in 20 years, even some who have never skated before, and have enlisted the help of some Marines in their training.

Enter Staff Sgt. Curtis Sliger or, as the ladies know him, “Boss Daddy.”

“He found the rink for us and he’s been phenomenal,” Monroe said of Sliger. “We call him ‘Boss Daddy’ because he is the boss and he’s like a dad to all these girls. He’s protective and the girls really appreciate having that father figure here … He’s been great. He and his (friends) have been so supportive of us, encouraging all the girls, and it’s really like a family.”

Sliger has also been developing special workout routines for the Derby Dames, taking what he learned from the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program and from roller derby programs in San Diego.

“I don’t care what anybody says, you get out there on skates for even five laps, it’s going to wear you out, I don’t care who you are,” he said. “The workouts I did with (the girls) were not easy. They were the same ones we used for MCMAP and I just scaled them down a little bit …

I had a couple of my Marines out there with them and they were worn out. But they were out there encouraging the girls just like anyone else would be … They push each other, just like a group of Marines would be doing.”

These only help add to the personas that the girls bring to the rink with them. The personas are arguably the most famous part of roller derby and the Derby Dames do not disappoint with theirs, creating such names as Gen. Chesty PullHair and Gen. E. Lee Violent.

But these names overshadow the true nature of the women and this team, which is a very friendly and caring one.

“A lot of women are scared because they say, ‘I’ve seen those roller derby movies and how violent they are,’” said Hunter. “But those are professional, hardcore teams. But it’s not like that here … That fact that I’m working out with more people that like to do the same thing I do (gives me) more motivation to keep going instead of giving up.

(When) you’re out there by yourself, it’s no fun. But when you got somebody to talk to and just do it, (it helps).”

Kevin Philo (99) takes down a Fayetteville Enforcers’ running back before he can even reach the line of scrimmage during the second half of the Bulldogs’ 28-13 victory at Liversedge Field aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, recently.

Philo proves worthy to be called heart of Bulldog defense RUSSELL VARNER Sports editor

One team. One goal.

That is the mindset of Kevin Philo, defensive lineman, linebacker and team captain of the Camp Lejeune Bulldogs. He believes that defense as a whole should act and move as one unit, much like a Marine unit on the field of battle.

Though Philo is one of the biggest members of the semiprofessional football team, he can sometimes be one of the hardest to find. He is often switching around positions, lining up over the center at the defensive tackle position one play, commanding the defense from the middle linebacker position the next and then taking his place back on the line of scrimmage as a defensive end. He is a freakish athlete who can play all over the field and whose toughness on the field has been crafted from years of challenges.

In Florida, instead of grouping leagues by ages, they did it by weight. This left Philo, who was one of the larger children in his age group, with a dilemma.

“It was kind of hard for me to play because I was so big,” he said.

I was too heavy to play with my age group, but too young to play with the big boys. So I had to wait until high school to play football.”

Even then, Philo had trouble finding playing time. He didn’t play football during his sophomore and junior years, thanks to some offthe-field problems spawning from a rivalry between Dade County, where Philo lived, and Broward

County, where he went to school.

“I had to play catch up because of some of the mistakes I made,” he said. “I lived in school. Summer school, night school, summer night school, regular school. I was in school more than the average student. But that was all to play football. That’s where my heart was and I wanted to play.”

Needless to say, things worked out in the end for Philo, who is the proud father of two and has been in the Marines for nearly 11 years now.

“At the age of 29, I’ve done everything an average 65 year old has done,” he said. “From traveling, seeing different places, experiencing different cultures – that was my big thing because I wasn’t born in the U.S. “You (have) that boot camp experience, then you (have) that combat experience. That’s that brotherhood that nobody can take away or share. It’s something special,” he continued.

Now, Philo can call himself the heart and soul of the lockdown Bulldogs defense, which currently ranks among the best in the Gridiron Developmental Football League. The defense is giving up an average of just 15.5 points per game and has held opponents to six points or less in three of their five contests. “(In football), you really don’t have to work with the defense, you just tweak the defense,” he said.

“As long as you have headhunters on the team, you’ll get a good defense. And as long as you have guys who know their position and know

the responsibility of that position, the defense will always be a good defense. We (the defense) are doing pretty well (this year), being that we have to go against 300-pounders and we’re all in the military.”

After a rough start to the season, the Bulldogs have rebounded nicely, winning four straight games heading into this weekend’s game against the Fayetteville Horizon, the team that beat the Bulldogs in their season opener.

But Philo has noted that the Bulldogs are a very different team than the one that suited up June 4 and are ready to protect home field when the Horizon come to town.

The Bulldogs are currently ranked 20th in the Gridiron Developmental Football League and 67th in the nation. The Horizon are ranked 8th in the GDFL. “We had to (make) some adjustments from the beginning of the year,” he said. “(But) once we made those adjustments, everybody came together.”

Even after their week-one loss to the Horizon, Philo’s expectations for the season have barely wavered.

He still believes that this team has championship talent and can top the impressive first year the Bulldogs had in 2010.

“We just want to take it one day at a time and expand it from where we started last year, building upon that 8-2 record and being in the conference semifinals,” he said.

“Take it one step further and win that championship and try to go to another level, as far as representing the GDFL against the other leagues we have around.”

"You can never do enough for the military and their dependents."

Retired Marine continues duty to country CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

I

t was overcast on the morning of another muggy Carolina day. A light rain had started to fall as he maneuvered his wheelchair out into the dim sunlight. He cast a scrutinizing gaze across the lot in front of the building, the pitter-patter of raindrops mixing with the sounds of the breeze playing through the tree branches.

“Lord knows I’ve been through worse,” he muttered to himself, a slight smile flashing across his lips as his eyes looked into the shadows of the past but only for a moment.

Walking his wheelchair to the right, he coasted down walkway, stopping before a naked flagpole. As he grasped the dampening ropes between his hands, he reached down and attached the metal hooks into the rings of the flag resting on his lap.

“Colors!” he shouted, quickly pulling on the ropes and sending the flag up into the morning rain, unfurling as it reached its apex.

After tying the ropes off, he reached down and engaged the locks to his wheelchair. With shaky limbs, he made his way to his feet, struggling slightly to keep his balance.

Yet, amid the physical uncertainty of his age, he called out with the same strength of voice he possessed some 50 years ago, bellowing out to all who could listen.

“For all the fallen service men and women and the (missing in action), Hand-Salute!”

Isaac Best is far from the strongest Marine in the Corps, but strength accounts for little when summing up the whole of a man. Now 76 years of age and confined to a wheelchair, due to a debilitating stroke which paralyzed the left side of his body, Best is still more of a man than most may hope to be - not for his strength of body, but his strength of will and sense of duty.

“I feel it’s my obligation,” he said with a humbling smile. “Not only to myself and the Marine Corps, but to all the other veterans here, some who’ve been through much more than I.” Seven days a week, rain or shine, Best is outside every morning and evening to raise and lower the colors on the flagpole of the Carolina Rivers Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, where he has resided for nearly three years following his stroke.

By himself and in his wheelchair, he has never let anything get in the way of him raising the American flag something that is clearly much more than a piece of cloth to him.

“He’s an absolute inspiration to everyone here,” said Catherine Wilde, a nurse at the rehabilitation center.

“The flag raising is just one of the things to show what kind of a gentleman he is.

Although he’s a resident here like everyone else, he helps out as much as he can and motivates everyone.”

Enlisting in the Marine Corps at the age of 17 on July 28, 1953, the day after the Korean War had ended, Best found his beginning years in the Corps

tough and disorganized at best. He said he joined at the worst time for the military - peacetime.

“When I joined, the Marines were poor,” Best said. “But they still found time to send me to jump school and guerilla warfare school. Since I got my wings, I haven’t touched a parachute, and when I got done with guerilla warfare school, I said, ‘Man, this is the 50s, no one does this stuff anymore.’”

Then came the Vietnam War. “I did two tours in Vietnam between ‘66 and ‘68, the first with (1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, 2nd Marine Division) and the second with (2nd Battalion, 9th Marines),” said Best. “With me being an 0311, there was no way I wasn’t going.”

From the rice paddies to the arid jungles to the leech-infested rivers, Best remembers every day and detail in vivid color, able to rehash countless stories of what he saw and did, “so far in the front lines, Bob Hope wouldn’t go there.”

“You had to laugh at some of the stuff that happened over there,” laughed Best. “If you didn’t and only focused on the bad, you’d lose your mind.”

One night after a patrol, Best’s unit bunked down to sleep for the night. Quietly out of the tree line, a tiger crept up to the camp, and crawled into two Marines’ tent, lying down between them. It wasn’t until morning that the roof of the tent split open and the two Marines ran out in either direction, with a confused and startled tiger darting back into the jungle.

Another night, a unit that went out on patrol didn’t radio back to base as scheduled. Best’s unit went out to investigate, only to find the patrol dead, stripped of their clothing, weapons and ammunition, and bodies horribly cut up, limbs separated from the bodies.

“Too many times things like that happened,” Best said slowly, his eyes burning into the distance. “We became the walking dead.”

More than 40 years later, Best sits content with his time in the Marine Corps, serving nearly 20 years in the line of duty. And although he is no longer on active duty, he still proudly bears the emblem of the Eagle, Globe and Anchor and does what he can to honor his country.

“When I got off the plane after my second tour in Vietnam, there was a group of people throwing eggs at us,” said Best. “Americans throwing eggs at American troops. But you know what? I don’t really brood on that. I did my duty for this country and am proud of it, and continue to do so in my own way.”

An old, retired Marine who has long since left active duty. Yet instead of biding his time away, Best still does what he can for his fellow veterans and his country.

Partially paralyzed and in a wheelchair, he may not have much physical strength, but every morning, ignorant of weather, Best ensures the American flag flies proudly over the Carolina Rivers Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and that act of duty alone makes him one of the strongest Marines alive.

Sailors graduate NHCL Family Signs for base Medicine Residency program housing lease office cause confusion

CPL. JONATHAN G. WRIGHT

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

No one is born a doctor – there are years of education, training and internship needed to become someone who can reach out and pluck a life away from the brink of oblivion. In no way does this fact diminish in the military, holding just as true in every instance for Navy medical personnel. Every year is spent in either medical education or building upon prior experience, all in the effort to be able to provide a higher level of care for the Marines and sailors they serve.

July 1 marked the end of a preliminary step in the quest for medical knowledge for 13 family physicians and interns as they graduated from the Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune Family Medicine Residency program at a ceremony held at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune.

“Naval medical providers have brought hope and healing to families across the world,” said Navy Capt.

Daniel Zinder, commanding officer of NHCL. “This is truly a celebration for these interns and residents, because it is their turn to do the same.”

Six Naval officers completed yearlong internships in the hospital while the remaining seven ended their threeyear residencies. The purpose of the FMR program is to allow these sailors the fundamental experiences needed to start their careers as health care providers, having worked alongside current practitioners at the hospital.

The call of “ring four bells” twice echoed through the Beito Room of the pavilion as Zinder and Navy Capt.

Mark Stephens, associate professor and chair of the Department of Family Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, made their way to the podium to make remarks

Daniel Zinder, commanding officer of NHCL, and Mark Stephens, associate professor and chair of the Department of Family Medicine, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, during the Family Medicine Residency program graduation at Marston Pavilion aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 1. and present the certificates of completion as well as various awards.

“For those of you graduating today, I have two things for you,” said Stephens.

“The first is that you all have contractual obligations to your patients, and when they come to you for help, you will do the best you can to serve them.

After you provide that care, reflect on what you did and how you might have done it better. Keep those two things in mind, because as physicians in the Navy, you have a great responsibility to your patients and to yourself.”

After the certificates of completion were awarded, two plaques for the intern of the year and resident teacher of the year were lauded, presented to Navy Lt. Mathew Guggenbiller and Lt. Cmdr. Wendy Gordon, respective-

ly. Two Navy-Marine Corps Achievement Medals were also awarded for work in the FMR program, bestowed to Navy Lts. Eric Vaught and Stephanie Elenbaum.

As the 13 graduating sailors either leave for their first duty stations as new health care providers or stay to continue training, they are all a little bit further down the road toward becoming medical practitioners, helping and healing service members and their families across the globe.

“A lot of people in this country continually seek the next best thing, never happy with what they have achieved,” said Zinder. “Take pride in what you have all accomplished here in the now, but never lose the drive to better yourselves in that aspect.”

arine Corps B a s e Camp Lejeune has more than 4,000 units in their on-base housing, and since 2005, Atlantic Marine Corps Communities has been a lead in the rebuilding and construction of thousands more.

Some people may not remember the importance of April 16, while others may cringe or cry at the sound of it. It was the night a tornado ravaged the Tarawa Terrace housing community aboard the base, throwing wood, parts of homes, personal belongings and signs everywhere in the few seconds it tore through the community.

One particular sign that was knocked down was the Atlantic Marine Corps Communities leasing sign posted at Tarawa Terrace.

AMCC is a partner with the Department of the Navy that is building more than 8,000 homes on Marine Corps installations.

When most of the tornado damage had been cleared up, a lease sign went back up, but this one read Lincoln Military Housing.

“Most people don’t know that there are two partners working with the Department of the Navy to build these houses AMCC and Lincoln Military Housing,” said Jerry Swain, director of the Family Military Housing of the MCB Camp Lejeune Housing Office. “When the AMCC sign went down, Lincoln Housing took the opportunity to post their sign up, and this confused a lot of residents.”

AMCC has had signs posted aboard Tarawa Terrace since 2005, when the building project first started. Swain stated that Lincoln Properties was just trying to inform residents that they were now partners with the DoN. “To help fix the confusion, we told both partners, ‘You can put signs up identifying your neighborhoods, but not advertising the leasing office,’” said Swain.

Lincoln Military Housing has been working with the Department of Defense since 2001. They have developed and built more than 31,000 homes across the nation for service members. Heroes Village, a new housing development along Brewster Boulevard, will be a Lincoln neighborhood. It SEE CONFUSION 3C

MCCS pools make summer a splash After months of LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA

arine Corps Community Services has recently re-opened their Area 2 swimming pool which is one of two swimming pools available to service members and their dependents.

In charge of the Area 2 and the Tarawa Terrace Pools, MCCS serves all the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune families and tries to meet all of their aquatic recreation needs.

“The Area 2 Pool is right behind the Base Theater and our TT pool is located

right between Tarawa Terrace I and Tarawa Terrace II,” said Michael Carey, the aquatics director with MCCS. The Area 2 Pool, which was recently renovated, is now equipped with a new ceiling and a single main entrance. The entire pool, as well as the deck, have also been refinished and a family changing room has also been added.

“The family changing room is driven by our need to provide handicap access for families with disabled or challenged family members,” said Carey.

Personnel at the pools offer year-round swimming lessons, be it personal or in a group environment. Water aerobics, both shallow and deep water, are also

offered with an instructor present at all times.

“Our outdoor swimming location also has a Splash Camp which is a weeklong, for half a day,” said Carey. “During this time the children participate in arts and crafts and also learn about swimming safety.”

The Olympic-sized pool at TT also has a one-meter and a three-meter diving board. Also offered are Saturday swim school classes, which just began two months ago.

“For children less than five years old, the Tadpole University is just for them.

The university is a parent and child class focused on helping parents enhance their child’s water time,” said Carey. “We also offer

lifeguarding classes for those who are 15 years or older.”

Carey emphasized the safety that MCCS takes to ensure no families are hurt when visiting pools. At each pool there are a minimum of two lifeguards.

For families looking to throw a pool party, they do not need to look any further than MCCS. Carey stated that MCCS conducts after hours pool parties by request and that a fee is required for the time as well as the number of participants.

For more information on how to schedule a pool party, call 451-1440 or visit the Outdoors Adventures office in the Goettge Memorial Field House.

Naval hospital seeks blood, platelet donors LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA

lood; it’s the life force of the human body - precious to everyone. Just one pint of blood can save up to three lives. Blood is even more precious when a service member has been injured and requires a blood transfusion or blood platelets to quickly clot a wound while deployed to a combat zone.

For those looking to support the military, but who do not have the money to buy anything, blood is a simple and vital gift. Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune and the Blood-Mobile are locations where service members and anyone wanting to donate blood or platelets can stop by to contribute to the cause.

“The blood we collect through the Armed Services Blood Program goes overseas and helps service members in Afghanistan and Iraq,” said Lt. Cmdr. Jonathan Hoiles, who is in charge of NHCL’s ASBP. “We cover areas from (Marine Corps Air Station) Cherry Point to Wilmington and all of the smaller commands and schools as well.”

A mobile blood donation vehicle, dubbed the ‘Blood-Mobile’ helps the ASBP personnel receive whole blood, a process which can take anywhere from 45 minutes to one hour. Donors are asked for their blood type, medical history, identification card, if they have traveled out of country and if they had received any tattoos recently.

If deemed eligible, a unit of blood will be donated, and if the donor wishes, they can return in 56 days to donate again.

“This blood is from the military to the military,” said Hoiles.

“Other organizations have different agendas, so if someone wants their blood to directly support our troops, they can come to us.”

The second form of donations that the naval hospital is in need of is platelets. Platelets are required for patients with serious medical condition as it helps the body with the clotting process.

“We started accepting platelet donations about six months ago,” said Hoiles. “The process usually takes an hour to an hour and a half, and platelet donors can donate more frequently, every 14 days.”

Donors are asked if they have taken aspirin within 72 hours as this makes them ineligible for donating platelets. Donors must also

he Tarawa Terrace Veterinary Clinic aboard the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune housing area provides services to domestic pets and military working dogs.

There are about 100 military working dogs and 15,000 privately owned animals that the clinic provides services to. Owners of dogs and cats living in military housing are required to register their pets with the base veterinary office. During a busy week the clinic can see more than 15 military working dogs and about 320 privately owned pets.

Veterinarians, veterinarian technicians and food inspection specialists with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Section of the Mid-Atlantic District Veterinary Command of the North Atlantic Region work together to keep the animals healthy.

The clinic does everything from vaccinations to surgeries, and the only thing they cannot provide for animals is prolonged hospitalization.

“Their services are great,” said Cpl. John Peeler, a working dog handler with military working dog platoon, Military Police Support Company, II Marine Expeditionary Force. “They stay on top of things and keep our dogs up-to-date. They always keep us informed.”

Military working dogs receive semi-

annual physicals where veterinarians and veterinary technicians do basic examinations, checking things such as ears, eyes and teeth.

The working dogs also receive an annual physical that is more thorough by including things such as blood and urine tests to complete full diagnostics. When working dogs deploy, a physical examination is required before and after any deployment.

“When it comes to working dogs, they go out there and they serve their country,” said Army Sgt. Dawn Torrisi, a veterinary technician with Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Section of the Mid-Atlantic District Veterinary Command of the North Atlantic Region. “They fight alongside the human that they work with, and it’s our job to make sure that they’re mentally and physically fit enough to perform their duties.”

The clinic plays an important role in the lives of all the animals they care for.

Whether the animal being treated is little, big, nice or mean, the veterinarians at the clinic will help to preserve and protect the lives of animals.

“Pets are family members to most people,” said Torrisi. “When a pet is sick it really upsets the families. We’re providing a service to (pets) so (families) can have peace of mind.”

renovations, Base Theater is complete LANCE CPL. VICTOR BARRERA

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

M

arine Corps Base Camp Lejeune’s movie theater, constructed in 1943, has long been overdue for an upgrade. In the 60 years since it was first built, the world has seen a great deal of change.

Now, the change has finally come and the theater has been upgraded with some of the latest in technological equipment.

“For a while, this theater was closed and the only one open was the Midway Park Theater,” said Charlie Miller, the theater and entertainment manager, Marine Corps Community Services. “While it was closed, we redid pretty much everything.”

The theater now has a new heating and air conditioning system throughout the building, something that Miller said the theater was in great need of.

All of the woodwork, from the handrails and counters to the stage has been redone. Workers painted much of the theater and both public bathrooms have received a complete renovation.

“The bathrooms are state-of-the-art,” said Miller. “Everything is motion-sensor activated and we have focused to make the bathrooms conserve more water.”

While the movie theater’s main focus is showcasing the newest movies at a much lower price than off-base providers, it can also be used for plays and briefs as well. Because of this, the stage has been remodeled and new lighting has also been added to enhance the visual appeal.

A new movie screen has also been installed and the base theater can now hold up to 1,452 people comfortably and all for a very low price. For an adult it will cost $2 and for children between the ages of 5 and 12 the ticket price is $1. Additionally, the concession stand offers snacks and drinks for a low price as well.

The base theater is open from Tuesday through Sunday with showtimes during weekdays at 7:30 p.m. There are two showings on Fridays at 6:30 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. Saturday showings are at 3:30, 6:30 and 9:15 p.m. Sunday showings are at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m.

The donation of platelets is only done at the hospital.

The blood is then returned to the body without the platelets. This means that a donor would not feel

CONFUSION FROM 1C will be the only area Lincoln Military Housing will be able to place their signs.

In regards to limiting where the companies can post their signs, MCB Camp Lejeune has decided to create and post signs that identify both partners. The signs will post that both companies have

representatives in the leasing office.

“This will hopefully help residents understand the difference between the two partners,” said Swain.

Base housing residents may continue to contact the leasing office for any questions at 450-1627.

“What’s nice is there are a lot of opportunities, whatever your sport is or even if you just want to watch,” said Carol C. Trott, assistant recreation supervisor for Onslow County Parks and Recreation Department. “I think it’s great for an organized event on the beach because there aren’t many of them.”

The Earth and Surf Festival sets itself apart from many of the other local celebrations by uniquely tying in environmental information with athletic events while also improving the community.

“With the run, we teach how important it is to have clean air, and the surf competition lets us talk about clean water,” water, said Grant.

Politics, history head to court in ‘The Conspirator’ Now playing at Midway Park “THE CONSPIRATOR” (PG-13) “The Conspirator” is the tragic account of the only woman tried for assassinating Abraham Lincoln.

The film tells the powerful story of a woman who would do anything to protect her family, and the man who risked everything to save her.

In the wake of Lincoln’s assassination, seven men and one woman were arrested and charged with conspiring to kill the president, vice president, and secretary of state.

Robin Wright (“State of Play,” “The Pledge”) stars as Mary Surratt, the lone female charged as a co-conspirator in the assassination trial of Lincoln.

Mary owns a boarding house where John Wilkes Booth, played by Toby Kebbell, and the other culprits meet and plan the simultaneous attacks.

As the whole nation turns against her, she is forced to rely on her reluctant lawyer to uncover the truth and save her life.

James McAvoy (“Wanted,” “Atonement”) stars as Frederick Aiken, a 28-yearold newly minted attorney and Union war hero, who agrees to defend Mary before a military tribunal.

As the trial progresses, Aiken comes to believe that his client might be innocent and that she is being used as bait in order to catch the only conspirator who escaped, her own son.

Now, Mary is forced to rely on Aiken to uncover

the truth and save her life.

Among the impressive cast are: Tom Wilkinson (“Michael Clayton,” “Valkyrie”) as Reverend Johnson, the former attorney general; Evan Rachel Wood (“The Wrestler”) as Anna Surratt, Mary’s daughter; Alexis Bledel (“Sin City”) as Sarah Weston, Aiken’s wife; Justin Long (“Going the Distance”) as Nicholas Baker, Aiken’s best friend; and Steven Root (“The Soloist”) as John Lloyd, a witness for the prosecution.

The men who know that she is innocent, but abuse the law to make her give up her guilty son, played by Johnny Simmons (“Hotel for Dogs”), are portrayed

by Kevin Kline (“The Pink Panther”) as Edwin Stanton, Lincoln’s secretary of war; Colm Meaney (“Law Abiding Citizen”) as General Hunter; and Danny Houston (“Edge of Darkness”) as Joseph Holt, the prosecuting attorney.

Director and producer Robert Redford (“Lions for Lambs,” “A River Runs Through It,” “The Horse Whisperer”) brings us a rich and moving piece of history, a much overlooked story of the first woman ever executed by the federal government.

“The Conspirator” is a brilliant and interesting legal potboiler made by one of today’s most talented filmmakers, a carefully researched trial that mixes vindictiveness and cynical politics against the backdrop of the post-Civil War Washington.

146th anniversary of the death of President Lincoln.

Now playing in Jacksonville “TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON” (PG-13) “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is another action adventure in the popular Transformer series based on the Hasbro’s Transformer Action Figures.

This time, the Autobots and Decepticons are involved in a perilous space race between the U.S. and Russia.

The 2007 “Transformers” and the 2009 sequel “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” are the noisiest action films ever and took in billions worldwide at the box office.

In this latest addition, a mysterious event from Earth’s past erupts into the present day and threatens to bring world war so big that even the Transformers

alone will not be able to save the day.

The Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it and to learn its secrets.

Shia LaBeouf (“Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps”) reprises his role as Sam Witwicky, who once again has to come to the aid of his robot friends.

Along with Josh Duhamel (“Turistas”) as Capt.

William Lennox, the two are the foremost experts in surviving robot-on-robot carnage.

They also must rescue Sam’s new girlfriend Carly Miller, played by Victoria Secret model Rosie Huntington- Whitely, who is trapped in Chicago by the evil Decepticons.

Staff with Atlantic Marine Corps Communities and Actus Lend Lease pack 200 lunch bags at the AMCC conference room aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, July 8. The bags were given to the Onslow Community Outreach soup kitchen and the funding for the food supplies was provided by the Lend Lease foundation.

AMCC provides food for children in need PFC. NIK S. PHONGSISATTANAK Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

For the past two years, James rises in the morning, wakes up his younger brothers, Nick and Sam, and leads them to the Onslow Community Outreach homeless shelter and soup kitchen to get them their first and sometimes only meal of the day.

The three brothers appeared slim and even smaller as they stood next to adults that towered over them. The youngest of them seemed timid when he approached the servers holding a tray that was half his size. He then shyly whispered, “Thank you,” and followed his brothers to a table.

James and his siblings currently live with their grandmother who provides a home, but family dinner is something they’re still missing.

There are children

living in the Jacksonville community that depend on other resources to receive a meal. During the school year, kids have meals provided by the schools they attend, but when school is out, some have a dramatic change in diet.

There are about 1,600 homeless people in Onslow County and more than 400 of them are children.

“We see it on the news all the time and it really hits home to actually see all the children and families in need,” said Dixie Lanier, strategic marketing manager with Atlantic Marine Corps Communities.

Onslow Community Outreach is a nonprofit organization that is always looking for support in helping local residents.

This year AMCC and Lend Lease came up with a plan to help fill empty stomachs, promote healthy lives and support

those in need.

Staff from AMCC and Lend Lease spent their lunch time filling lunch bags to give to the shelter, July 8. Lend Lease foundation provided funds for all of the food supplies. The sound of boxes tearing and bags ruffling lasted for about an hour, and when all was silent, 200 bagged meals were made.

The bags piled high and looked like a mountain, but in a few days this mountain will soon resemble a plateau. Some of the children have many siblings and their parents have difficulty providing for them all, and there were also kids that arrived without parents or guardians.

“My parents are going through some stuff, so they’re not around,” said James, as he lowered his head. “I walk over here with my little brothers because I don’t ever want them to feel hungry. We’ve

been coming here for two years now… they know my grandma and help us out whenever they can.

They help us out a lot. For Christmas, we come here (and) it’s nice because we get to eat, and sing Christmas songs. We’re thankful to have people that care about us.”

“Yep, we’ll be here tomorrow,” added James’s youngest brother Nick.

Lanier said it was the first time they’ve provided these meals for the Onslow Community Outreach soup kitchen.

“I’m really glad that they’re stepping in to help us, because those bags that they’ve made are for

the children,” said Remy Stitt, soup kitchen director with Onslow Community Outreach. “I have about 25 children that come in to eat at the (shelter) every weekday.”

There are many people that are unaware of the

hardship the local children and families go through.

“I didn’t think that children would miss a meal if they didn’t go to school,” said Cricket Devers, assistant project cost manager with Lend Lease. “At least SEE AMCC 7D

Chaplain’s Corner

Pack hope for the journey NAVY LT. MYRON MCCONVILLE

Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune

Just recently I watched a movie called “The Road,” which is about a father and his son struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic America.

Some unnamed disaster has destroyed most of the Earth’s population, with the exception of small pockets of people, most of whom have resorted to cannibalism in order to survive.

The situation is so desperate that the gun carried by the father is not only meant for protection but also for their own suicide as a last resort.

They can’t afford to trust anyone. They are regularly exposed to the elements, go hungry almost daily, and expect to die any moment.

It is a hopeless, helpless, depressing world, where everything that makes life enjoyable is stripped away. Despite their predicament, they have each other and the small glimmer of hope that if they keep moving (toward the sea), they might find a better life.

People who struggle with depression often describe their lives as hopeless, helpless, and filled with despair.

Just like in the movie, they see no way out of their situation. They feel like a dark cloud is following them, stealing their joy and preventing them from attaining any measure of happiness.

Some go through seasonal bouts of depression for various reasons, such as the loss of a loved one, past trauma, or some major disappointment.

David, who authored most of the Psalms, wrote that as a result of his depression, he felt like his body was wasting away and that his energy was depleted as in the heat of summer.

His poor disposition was the result of not only making terrible decisions, but also covering up his misdeeds. By keeping his sins secret, David suffered great inner turmoil. But after he admitted his sins, God forgave him and removed his guilt.

The solution to David’s depression was confession. The weight of sin was so heavy that it must have felt like he was carrying around a pack full of rocks, worthless weight that only hurts and saps our energy.

When we confess to God our sin and admit to him that we have fallen short of his standards, that heavy burden that we carry is removed, and we are restored.

For believers in the Christian faith, the weight of sin that we carry is not only removed, but carried for us by Jesus on our behalf.

Unlike the movie, the Bible offers us real hope on our journey. Sometimes we will walk though the valley of shadow of death, but God is with us. Sometimes we will have to deal with personal and moral failure, but God is more than willing to forgive and redeem.

Whatever you may be dealing with in your life at this very moment that is causing you grief, the answer is to simply trust that the Lord is with you every step of the way.

Stay connected to him and ask him to sustain you during the difficult times, and regularly take time be thankful to him for his many blessings.

“Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.” (Psalm 51:10-12).

f it’s true that leaders are readers, the kids of Marine Corps Camp Lejeune are getting good training.

Nearly 300 participants of the Summer Reading Program, held by the Harriotte B. Smith Library aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, eagerly came, with reading logs in hand, to see Flow Circus at the Tarawa Terrace Community Center aboard the MCB Camp Lejeune housing area, Tuesday.

Flow Circus features Paul Miller, juggler, storyteller, comedian and avid reader.

“I really like (performing for) libraries because they’re a family audience,” said Miller.

Parents and kids alike sat wide-eyed and ready to listen to the story he told of how he learned to juggle by reading a book he got at the library with his grandma one summer.

“There is one thing you should know about my grandma,” he joked. “She is old.”

Miller masterfully entwined physical comedy for the kids with wisecracks, throwing in references to landline phones, Super Mario Brothers and encyclopedias, for the older crows.

What makes Miller a different kind of performer, however, is that he has learned the art of teaching while having fun.

“Juggling changed my life,” he said. “It was the first time in my life I learned something from a book. It transformed me.”

Miller may joke and have a good time, but he always goes back to the books.

“Anything I wanted to learn, I could, if I found a book that would teach me,” he noted. “I want the kids to know they can do whatever they want to do, Photo by Amy Binkley and there are resources that Paul Miller with Flow Circus juggles for the Summer will help them.”

Reading Program participants at the Tarawa There is no doubt that Terrace Community Center aboard the MCB Camp military children are a Lejeune housing area, Tuesday. unique group, but those

aboard MCB Camp Lejeune are something special.

“They have a keen knack for reading and a thirst for adventure,” said program supervisor Jana Guitar. “Fifty five percent of the books checked out are by juveniles. They’re the cream of the crop.”

Guitar and her team knew Flow Circus was a perfect match for their audience.

“It’s entertaining, but it’s also educational for the children,” said Guitar.

“They learn stuff, and they don’t even know it.”

When asked if he noticed a difference in the military kids, Miller quipped, “They were a lot less sticky.”

All jokes aside, he admitted to being nervous about being able to make them laugh. His fears were soon alleviated.

“They were right with me,” he said. “They followed the directions very well.”

Flow Circus is a combination of performance and hands on learning, but Miller most enjoys telling the story in between the tricks.

“Storytelling is the part that communicates the message,” he mused.

“Jokes and tricks make a fun show, but the kids don’t take anything away from that. It holds everything together.”

Dawn Daria, Miller’s assistant, agreed, noting how the narrative has become more fluid and a main feature in the show itself throughout the years.

“It captures (the audience) and helps them actually hear it,” she said.

“We all love stories. If they remember to go to the library to learn things, then the message has gotten across.”

The kids of Camp Lejeune understand the importance of reading and many participate in the weekly meetings for the library’s Summer Reading Program.

A Day’s Drive

The Crystal Coast

A wild horse’s mane blows in the wind in the grasses of Shackleford Banks.A great way to reach the island is on a sailing trip with Coastal Ecology Tours, or a speedy trip on a center-consoled boat with Crystal Coast Ecotours.

A

n 85-mile stretch of sparkling clear waters is how the Crystal Coast area got its name. The Crystal Coast hosts several quaint towns where fun takes place on the water. For military families stationed aboard Camp Lejeune, towns like Beaufort, Morehead City, Atlantic Beach, Pine Knoll Shores and Emerald Isle are within an hour’s drive. What’s a day-tripper to do when heading out to these towns? Take to the seas, of course. The area offers a variety ways to get your sea legs, but here is a short list of top notch experiences you don’t want to miss in the Crystal Coast.

The Good Fortune has a landing pass for Cape Lookout National Seashore, so guests aboard the full day trip can easily explore remote islands and beaches during their day at sea. Full day trips can also include snorkeling, magnificent shelling and bird watching along the way.

Captain White offers a variety of trips that fit into any schedule. Six hour trips make this same trek, or folks can choose to be carried away to Shackleford Banks where the beauty of wild horses stop visitors in their tracks. Half day trip activities vary, and two-hour trips offer the chance to catch closeup hangtime with dolphins or a sunset with some sea spray.

To better accommodate guests, an hour and a half economy eco-sail trip is also available.

While out to sea, interested participants can lend a hand with sailing. With his background and sailing experience, Captain White is a wealth of information. His vast knowledge of the area shines through, and can be showcased on educational trips.

“This is a great way for people to get aboard a sail boat for an affordable price,” said Capatin White.

So climb aboard, hoist up the “Good Fortune’s” sail and see how the mainsail sets.

Lookout Cruises A famed attraction to the Crystal Coast area is the Cape Lookout Lighthouse, a beacon of black-and-white checkers resting on an island three miles off the shore of North Carolina.

Lookout Cruises, based out of Beaufort, NC, offers a Cape Lookout Cruise that is a perfect day trip plan.

Departing at noon, their 45foot catamaran embarks on an hour-and-a-half journey across six miles of the Atlantic to its final destination at Cape Lookout. Upon arrival, passengers spend two hours traversing the shores. The time off-board also includes a catered lunch featuring foods from the local favorite Beaufort Grocery Co. Restaurant.

Heading back to shore the cruise puts visitors in a fine position to snap shots of the lighthouse on the water. Not only does Lookout Cruises offer this feature trip, families can head out on an early trip to see dolphins, while couples

ing this fall when it opens Island Outfitters at 431 Front Street in Beaufort. “The new store will have an even bigger focus on outdoor related products,” said Cole.

Once you’ve got the gear from Island Traders, the possibilities for an outdoor adventure here at the Crystal Coast are limitless!

can romance the evening away aboard a sunset cruise, or the occasional moonlight cruise.

A sailor all his life, owner and Captain Steve Bishop has spent the last 17 years spreading smiles around his sails.

“This is a memorable sailing adventure for those who have never been sailing before. This is as much about the sailing as it is about seeing the sights,” said Captain Steve.

The Lookout Cruises can take up to 42 passengers at one time, and does offer discounted rates for groups and children under 12 years old.

It’s important to keep in mind that some of the best sailing time is ahead of us.

“The prettiest time of the year is September and October. It’s less crowded and the winds change,” said Captain Steve.

Lookout Cruises provides a relaxing way to spend the day with a large number of friends, family members, and other area visitors.

Island Traders Outfitters With so many outdoor adventures offered in the area, it is essential that you get the right gear. Island Traders, located in Beaufort, NC will go above and beyond your expectations to keep you covered and still looking good in the outdoors.

Island Traders owner, George Rose has experienced something many of us often overlook, fulfilling his childhood dream. George fell in love with Beaufort as a child and vowed to live life on the water.

With over a decade of experience in retail, George opened Island Traders, Beaufort in Feb-

ruary 2001. Then in 2007, Island Traders located at Atlantic Station in Atlantic Beach, opened for business. The stores have been outfitting friends, family, neighbors, and visitors with stylish and comfortable clothes that fit any lifestyle.

Merrell boots, TOMS, and Vibram FiveFingers are among the top sellers. “One of our most popular item right now is our sunglasses. We carry eight brands of polarized sunglasses ranging from $15 to $250,“ said Cole.

Crystal Coast Ecotours After an established career as a distinguished marine biologist, Captain Jess Hawkins spends most of his time aboard “Lucky Dog,” his 20-foot center-consoled vessel named after the family pet.

The Lucky Dog is based out of Morehead City and heads out to make waves with up to six passengers at a time. Crystal Coast Ecotours offers trips that create a day of exploring the natural beauties of North Carolina’s coasts that passengers won’t soon forget.

For Captain Hawkins, being able to create lasting memories for visitors is the motivation behind his business.

“I decided to start Crystal Coast Ecotours because I wanted to provide others the opportunity to see the natural beauty of the Crystal Coast. Often we do not realize how unique our North Carolina coast is and I believe the best way to recognize those special aspects is to experience it. Starting Crystal Coast Ecotours allows me to share the knowledge I gained through being a marine biologist in North Carolina for 30 years. The highlights are the excitement and joy in others seeing their first wild horse on a barrier island, digging up their first clam, or picking up their first conch,” said Captain Hawkins.

For folks who board the “Lucky Dog,” it won’t take long for them to begin enjoying the coastal resources of North Carolina.

Guests can choose to take full and half day trips as well as two-hour excursions based on what they want to do. For those

who want to stay on the water, the Lucky Dog will take a trip that ensures scenic views of the wildlife and towns by the sea.

For the more adventurous type, there are a wide variety of ways to spend your Lucky Dog day. For animal lovers, Captain Hawkins heads out to secluded observation areas where dolphin and bird watching is sure to thrill folks of all ages. It is not uncommon for dolphins to be gliding next to the boat—a real treat for photo enthusiasts.

Trips can also include a stop at Shackleford Banks so visitors can catch a glimpse of the wild horses that inhabit the island and collect unique shells that wash ashore there. This island truly is a one of a kind experience. The breathtaking scenes and finds of Shackleford Banks will never get old, whether its your first or twentieth trip.

If you have an interest in crabbing, clamming, seining, cast netting or fishing, Captain Hawkins is your go-to guy.

Crystal Coast Ecotours has crab pots and crab lines to allow its guests to harvest crabs, and the Lucky Dog heads to spots in Carteret County to provide folks the opportunity to harvest delicious clams.

In addition, a trip into local creeks allows boat-goers to try their hand at seining (pulling nets to catch young fish) and cast netting.

No matter what the activity, Captain Hawkins combines his experience as an educator, his love of nature, and his desire to share all the Crystal Coast has to offer to provide participants with invaluable knowledge about the sea life and ecosystem surrounding them. There is only one thing that you have got to remember.

“My advice to folks getting ready to come do one of our ecotours is prepare to have fun and bring your cameras,” said Captain Hawkins.

Pottery 2 Paint by the Sea Escape from the heat of a summer’s day by heading

to Pottery 2 Paint. Let your creative juices flow as you design personalized pottery pieces. The store offers plenty to paint, from pirate ships and seahorses to mugs, bowls, and serving platters.

Owner Daisy Spell, who was born into a Marine family aboard Camp Lejeune, takes pleasure in helping to nurture relationships through paint.

Spending her life on the Eastern Carolina coast, she realized that there was a lack of opportunities for families to spend quality time together.

“I wanted to provide something for families to do. You can go to the movies, but there isn’t any time to poke fun or compliment each other. Pottery 2 Paint helps tie families together, and that’s what I love about it,” said Spell.

Spell recalls some of the more precious moments she has seen at her store. “I tease the guys on dates and let them know if the girl is a keeper. I see fathers with their daughters painting before a deployment. I have men coming home who come in with their kids to make Christmas presents for their mom. Everyday I open the kiln is like magic,” said Spell.

Pottery 2 Paint also offers birthday parties, ladies night bookings, and story time sessions.

In addition, Spell does “stork visits.” When a woman gives birth, Spell will head on over to the hospital to take prints of the baby’s feet. Coupling footprints with birth information, a mom walks away with a one-of-a-kind piece of their child’s first days.

For military, Spell offers a 10 percent discount on services.

The business also participates in the yearly Carteret Country drive for the soup kitchen, donating and auctioning bowls to assist the cause.

Pottery 2 Paint reflects the real reason you don’t want to miss a trip to the Crystal Coast—the heart and soul behind the beautiful cities, surfs and residents.

AMCC FROM 3D here they’re going to have lunch at the center and the bags that we make them could be their dinner.�

With the economic decline, families have been stretching their dollar, struggling to make ends meet. A free meal can go a long way.

Stitt said their soup kitchen used to serve 40 to 50 people a day, but now the numbers have increased to about 70 to 120 people daily.

The kind hearts with AMCC and Lend Lease have taken the initiative and plan to do all that they can to aid Onslow Community Outreach and their mission to the community, especially the children. “Children are our future. It’s sad because they have no control over what their life is like,� said Devers. “It’s up to the parents to provide for them and if they can’t for whatever reason, it’s great that I work with a company that allows us to be able to do this.�

Onslow Community Outreach serves about 93,000 meals per year and they provide emergency shelter for about 275 people every year. They also provide medical help for about 1,400 people every year, and assist people in finding jobs. Since the center is a nonprofit organization, contributions from the community directly impact and make a difference in the lives of the people who step into the shelter.

Soup kitchen staff said someday they hope to be able to run the soup kitchen seven days a week and serve two meals a day instead of one.

Many wishes are made and many prayers are said at the shelter, from the kind hearts of the staff who cook each day for the hungry children that silently wait in line for a warm meal. For many of the children, the warmth felt in their stomachs is also felt in their hearts.

While other people wish for things such as new clothes, a car or a summer vacation, a plate of spaghetti, toast and corn is a wish come true for others. “Just to look and see how appreciative these children are feels great,� said Amber Donaldson, a certified payroll manager with Lend Lease. “It’s so unfortunate that there are children that are so needy and it’s not noticed when you’re caught up in your own lifestyle. It’s kind of hard to take a step back and see the families that are less fortunate than us. Even if the funds dwindle away, maybe we can put such an impact within ourselves that we will keep supporting our local homeless shelter.� *Note: The names of the children were changed in this story to protect their identities.

To find out how you can help, call the Onslow Community Outreach at 455-5733 or visit onslowco.org.

SURF FROM 1D 2nd Class Reginald Burton, who picked up right where he left off when he returned from his deployment to Afghanistan in February. “It’s good to let (the citizens) know we’re here to help the community when these volunteer opportunities come,� he said. “The feeling you get, knowing you helped, it’s like none other.�

Cpl. Brandon Ryan combined fun and service. “We came because there aren’t a whole lot of surfing contests around here,� he said. “And we’re helping with the beach clean up.�

The surf competition was one of the most popular events, drawing crowds up and down the surf with its long and short board categories. The weather also cooperated with plenty of waves churned up from the previous evening’s storm.

The event was also a perk for the local economy. “A lot of people who participate are tourists,� said Trott. “They found out what’s happening here and registered. It’s good for our community.�

Grant noted that many of the surfers came from other states, like Maryland and New York, and one participant had come in from Australia.

While having a good time is always a key component for a successful festival, education was at the forefront of every activity. “We’re here today to encourage people to use the three Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle – and to increase community awareness,� said Christina Lewis, a member of the Keep Onslow Beautiful committee. “We want to represent our community well.�

Lewis and Grant both agree the biggest environmental problem Onslow County faces is litter. “When you drive down the road and see litter, it eventually gets into the ocean,� said Grant.

The North Pacific Gyre has gained negative notoriety as the location of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, where a large, undetermined amount of pollution has gathered. “Littering and debris are not just an eyesore any more, it’s an economic issue as well,� Grant noted. “Tourists don’t want to see trash on the beach.�

Fortunately, the community’s biggest problem has A Division of Florence-Darlington Technical College an extremely easy solution. “One of the biggest things people can do is pick up after themselves,� said Grant. “You may not be able to be a part of something like this but you can help pick up.�

At last year’s Earth and Surf Festival, visitors collected 66 bags of trash including items like cigarette buts, balloons and even diapers. “I pick up because when I go to the beach, I don’t want to lay in it,� Grant added.

According to www.re3.org, the trash thrown into the landfill each year in North Carolina is equivalent to the weight of 7,866,666 cars a year.

The state passed a law in 2008 which required all beverage containers, including glass bottles, aluminum cans and plastic bottles, to be recycled.

However, North Carolinians throw away more than DEOH $IIRUG $74,072,000 in aluminum cans each year.

The workers with the Earth and Surf Festival along WXLWLRQ with those of Keep Onslow Beautiful and other local environmental and conservation organizations are committed to getting the word out about recycling. “Leave only your footprints,� said Grant.
