AFTER Â 7 Â YEARS Â ABROAD, Â THE Â USS Â GEORGE Â WASHINGTON Â HEADS Â BACK Â TO Â THE Â STATES

A

fter serving as the U.S. Navy’s forward-deployed aircraft carrier since 2008, the USS George Washington is heading back to the States — arriving in San Diego this month. The ship, and it’s crew of more than 6,000, are heading home to swap 60 percent of its crew with the USS Ronald Reagan, which will takes its place at Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan. This fall, the Washington will head to Virginia, where the ship will undergo nuclear refueling and overhaul. Washington was the first nuclearpowered surface warship to be permanently stationed outside the U.S. Before making its way to California, the Washington stopped in Brisbane, Australia, to participate in operation Talisman Sabre — a joint exercise with the Australian military involving some 33,000 personnel. Nicknamed the “Spirit of Freedom,� CVN-73 was commissioned on July 4, 1992 after 6 years of construction costing $3.5 billion. It is the fourth U.S. naval vessel to bear the name of our first president. FA-18 fighters from its deck patrolled the skies over New York City after the Sept. 11 attacks. In 2011, the Washington

was one of several U.S. vessels to provide disaster relief after the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, and provided more humanitarian assistance in 2005 to the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan. The ship’s refueling and complex overhaul will take three years to complete and cost $3 billion. The Pentagon hinted that it might decommission the GW, but congressional pressure kept it in service. “The ship’s sailors have had the unique opportunity to live and work with our al-

Film gives Coast Guard heroics top billing

‘Finest Hours’ coming in 2016

The Coast Guard has never gotten much attention or respect from Hollywood, but a new trailer for Disney’s “The Finest Hours� suggests that someone has finally figured out that sea rescues just might make an exciting movie. In the winter of 1952, two World War II-era tanker ships faced catastrophe during a horrific nor’easter off the coast of Massachusetts. The ships, the SS Pendleton and SS Fort Mercer, split in two within hours of each other in frigid cold and monstrous waves, leaving their crew members with just hours to live before the ships went down. The daring rescue of those mariners is the subject of the film, due out in January 2016. The first trailer for the film was released last week, underscoring the bravery of the Coast Guardsmen involved in the Feb. 18, 1952, recovery. The movie stars Chris Pine, Ben Foster and Eric Bana. The film will likely center heavily around the effort to save mariners aboard the 503-foot Pendleton, which is considered the greatest small-boat rescue in the sea service’s history. Four men — coxswain Bernard C. Webber and his crew Andrew J. Fitzgerald, Richard P. Livese

Shaggy’s ISIS strategy? Deploy Jamaican weed Mr. Boombastic — and Marine veteran — Shaggy says he’s got the perfect prescription to put the smackdown on ISIS: some reggae music. “ISIS can go f--- themselves. That’s some crazy s--- what they’re doing,� he tells Miami New Times. “I just don’t get that level of evil. I can’t understand it.� But he knows what cures it.

joined the Marine Corps in 1988. Enlisting as an artilleryman, he served mostly with 5th Battalion, 10th Marines, which he deployed with to Saudi Arabia for the 1991 liberation of Kuwait. Not quite the model Marine — he was busted down in rank twice — he was better known for his colorful cadence calling and had hit a single before he left active duty.

“High people don’t want to kill nothing — they want to love.� “If you’re able to cut a man’s head off, you’re sick. But the right music evokes emotion. So if they’re listening to Shaggy music or reggae music, they’re not going to want to cut somebody’s head off.� When you’re listening to reggae, he says, you only want to do two things: get high and have sex. “High people don’t want to kill nothing — they want to love. They need to bag some Jamaican weed and distribute it amongst ISIS. I guarantee there won’t be any more wars out there.� Best known for hits “Mr. Boombastic� and “It wasn’t me,� the Grammy-winning artist with more than 30 million albums sold to his credit actually has some experience fighting in that part of the world. A Jamaican kid who grew up in New York City, Orville R. Burrell — already known as Shaggy among friends —

“The highest rank I got was lance corporal. My big problem was being AWOL. I was driving up to New York every weekend to do music,� he told Military Times in a 2011 feature story. “Sometimes I got back late. And I’m a guy with a big mouth, and I mouthed off a lot. So, you know, things like that will get you busted.� Now on tour and promoting his new album “I Need Your Love� — one track is titled “Go F--- Yourself� — Shaggy says his tongue-in-cheek, gangja-fueled strategy for Middle East peace might just have broader application. Maybe if more top leaders rolled some weed, well, you never know. “Man, it’ll put them in a vibe,� he said. “And throw some Bob Marley up in there and there’ll be peace. Some of these world leaders need to be stoners though — really.�

Players to watch as the Bolts open training camp Will new picks deliver? Can veterans shake old injuries? By Art Garcia, Jr. MilitaryPress

W

ith the Chargers opening training camp, there are many questions surrounding this franchise — aside from a potential move to Los Angeles. Can General Manager Tom Telesco convince Philip Rivers to sign a contract extension that will keep the 33-yearold quarterback in a Chargers uniform his entire career? Will rookie running back Melvin Gordon be the impact runner the Chargers hoped for, having moved up two spots to secure him with the 15th overall draft pick? How quick can the offensive line gel together as a cohesive unit to establish a dominant running game and keep Rivers upright throughout the season? Is this the year some high-round picks from recent drafts stay healthy enough to finally produce more turnovers and establish this unit as a dominate defense? Can the Chargers finally find a defensive tackle capable of stuffing the gaps and freeing up the linebackers so they

can successfully perform their tasks in a 3-4 scheme? And what kind of effect, if any, will the Eric Weddle and stadium issues have in the locker room? As the Chargers enter their third training camp under the leadership of Telesco and Head Coach Mike McCoy, here are a few players to keep an eye on as the team prepares for its home opener versus the Detroit Lions on Sept. 13. Melvin Gordon (RB) — Although expectations are high for the 2014 Doak Walker Award recipient (college football’s best running back), the pressure replacing former first-round pick Ryan Mathews doesn’t come close to the scrutiny Mathews faced while trying to replace future Hall of Famer LaDanian Tomlinson. One of the favorites among football pundits to win Rookie of the Year, Gordon rushed for 2,587 yards and 32 touchdowns last year at Wisconsin. Chris Watt (C) and Orlando Franklin (LG) — As a rookie last season, Watt started five games at center and the team was 3-2 over that span. Having never played center at Notre Dame, the 6-foot3-inch, 310-pound Watt replaces 11-year veteran Nick Hardwick.

Deal may save Mt. Soledad cross News

DOD sells land for $1.4 million

The enormous white cross that overlooks the Pacific Ocean atop the Mt. Soledad Veterans Memorial in San Diego isn’t going anywhere. The Mount Soledad Memorial Association, the veterans’ group that maintains the memorial, purchased the half-acre of federal land on which the 29-foot Latin cross stands from the Defense Department for $1.4 million July 21. The purchase brings to a close an epic 25-year legal battle, spurred by a 1989 lawsuit from Vietnam War veteran and atheist Philip Paulson, who argued the cross violated the Constitution’s prohibition against state-established religion. “I am honored to be leading our association at this most significant time in our memorial’s history,� said Bruce Bailey, president and CEO of the Mount Soledad Memorial Association board of trustees, which bought the property, in a statement. “It marks the first time where our membership can manage the memorial’s affairs from a place of ownership and accountability for the property, which is a new and welcomed step for the association,� Bailey said. The sale was made possible by the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015, which called for the property to be sold by the federal govern-

The organization has managed the memorial since its inception in 1954. In 2006, Congress took ownership of the land from the city of San Diego via eminent domain, a move championed by former U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Alpine), who previously represented the area. His son, U.S. Rep. Duncan D. Hunter (R-Alpine), took up the cause after succeeding his father in Congress in 2009, authoring the provision in the defense bill that cleared the way for the sale and transfer of the property to private ownership. A Marine veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, Hunter hailed the sale as “a signifi-

cant development that puts Mt. Soledad on solid legal footing and better ensures its preservation. This is a landmark that has deep meaning to so many veterans and families.� San Diego attorney James McElroy, representing a Vietnam veteran, told the LA Times that he and ACLU lawyers plan to study the sale agreement and then meet with lawyers representing the government and the memorial association. “We may be getting near the end [of the case], simply for legal and pragmatic reasons,� said McElroy, who filed the first case against the cross in 1988. The case, the most prominent of several lawsuits involving crosses at veterans’ memorials, was appealed twice to the U.S. Supreme Court, which declined to take it up both times. The cross had a close call In 2013, when a federal judge ordered it taken down. Voters in San Diego weighed in on two ballot measures, first rejecting a referendum to transfer the memorial land owned by the city to a private entity, and then approving a proposal to transfer the land to the federal government. In addition to the cross, the memorial holds 2,700 black granite plaques with the names and photos of war veterans.

Mixed up blonde

A young blonde woman is distraught because she fears her husband is having an affair, so she goes to a gun shop and buys a handgun. The next day she comes home to find her husband in bed with a beautiful redhead. She grabs the gun and holds it to her own head. The husband jumps out of bed, begging and pleading with her not to shoot herself. Hysterically the blonde responds to the husband, “Shut up... you’re next!�

Just for Laughs

Blind leading the blind

A blind man with an assistance dog was getting ready to cross the street. When the dog took him across, he almost got ran over by the traffic, and the cars where sliding everywhere to avoid hitting him. When he got to the other side, he took out a treat to give to the dog. A spectator who saw what happened couldn’t believe his eyes. He ran over to the blind man and said, “Sir, why are you rewarding that dog? He almost got you killed!� The blind man replied, “I’m trying to find his head so I can kick him in his ass!�

Primate problems

Why do gorillas have big nostrils? Because they have big fingers.

Don’t call the cops!

Wife: Why do you go out on the balcony when I start singing? Husband: Because the neighbors will think I am beating you.

Getting old’s a bummer

An 85-year-old man was requested by his doctor for a sperm count as part of his physical exam. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, “Take this jar home, and bring back a semen sample tomorrow.� The next day the 85-year-old man reappeared at the doctor’s office and gave him the jar, which was as clean and empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked, what happened and the man explained. “Well, doc, it’s like this. First I tried

with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing “We even called up Arleen, the lady next door, and she tried too. First with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin’ it between her knees, but still nothing.� The doctor was shocked! “You asked your neighbor?!� The old man replied, “Yep, none of us could get the jar open.�

Waste not, want not

Don’t drink and drive. You might hit a bump and spill it.

Shafted

Two men are by a hole in the ground and they both wonder how deep it is. So, they pick up a rock and throw it in. They don’t hear anything so they pick up an old transmission and throw it in. They listen... and still didn’t hear anything. Then they see a goat running at them full speed and it jumps into the hole.

Shortly after, a farmer comes along and asks them, “Have you seen my goat?� The two men say, “Well we saw a goat jump into this hole.� “Well that could not be my goat,� the farmer says. “My goat was tied to a transmission.�

Foreign goods

In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth... After that, everything else was made in China.

Honesty the best policy?

A guy goes in for a job interview and sits down with the boss. The boss asks him, “What do you think is your worst quality?� The man says, “I’m probably too honest.� The boss says, “That’s not a bad thing. I think being honest is a good quality.� The man replies, “Well, I don’t give a sh-t what you think!�

Losing my mind

My memory has gotten so bad it has actually caused me to lose my job. I’m still employed. I just can’t remember where.

Remember that time...

An American visits India and meets an old man in the town square who is renowned for his elephantine memory. He asks the old man what he had for breakfast on the same day 15 years back. “Eggs,� replies the old man. The American scoffs at this, saying everyone has eggs for breakfast and walks away. Ten years later he returns to India and sees the same old man on the same spot, goes to him and asks, “How?� The old man takes one look at his face and replies, “Scrambled.�

Sailors angry after Navy bans fried food Healthy grub meets gripes, frustration The Navy is going on a health kick and removing all fried food from its dining hall menus. In an effort to kick up its healthy eating “Go for Green� campaign, it will stop frying foods like chicken and french fries and bake them instead. It is also axing whole milk and replacing it with skim and soy. In May, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus announced the menu revisions as part of efforts to improve sailors’ food, uniforms, training and overall fitness to boost field performance and lower medical costs. Electrician’s Mate 1st Class (SW) Roberto Rodriguez said that he’s lost 10 pounds since the program began and said he feels “a whole lot better.� But not everyone is welcoming the changes. “Certain foods, you can’t get the flavor and texture you can get from the fryer, and when you’re deployed that’s one thing you have to look forward to,� Culinary Specialist 2nd Class (SW) Adrian Watson, said. Others took to Facebook to vent their frustration. “This isn’t a Weight Watchers cruise, it’s the goddamn Navy! Does that mean no cakes and desserts, too? Working 18 hours a day on the roof you need carbs to keep you going,� wrote user Jeff King “If you’re stationed ashore, you can go to the EM or PO clubs or to town and get all the crappy food you want.� Some current and former service members are also blaming First Lady Michelle Obama and her healthy school initiative, although she is not involved in

I guess you guys want a mutiny! Is Michelle Obama running the food program?!� wrote user Ed Anderson. The Department of Defense “Go for Green� nutrition program, which started in 2013 and is set to go in effect fleet wide by 2017, teaches sailors to recognize and select healthier foods. Calorie counts are now posted next to food items and foods have color coded health scores: green, yellow, or red. This comes as the U.S. obesity rate hit an all-time high of 27.7 percent in 2014.

Those in favor of the changes, like Chief Warrant Officer 3 Jeffrey Walker, who serves as a base food service officer and recently won the Ney Award for food service excellence, recognize that it will take time for sailors to get accustomed to the changes. “If the food is prepared right, sailors will accept the change over time,� he said.

hose of us who have paid the highest price for the economic recovery policies of the past eight years are the conservative savers seeking safe, dependable income. The near-zero interest rates have forced retirees to either take on more risk than they want or draw on their savings. Neither is a palatable alternative. Prudence dictates that some cash or cash equivalent be part of every retiree’s holdings. Some advisers recommend at least 10 years’ worth of expected living expenses derived from investments be held in cash, so that you don’t have to sell stocks during an inevitable big sell off in the market. But that’s a lot of your savings to have in money market funds earning nothing. Still, whether it’s one or two or more years’ withdrawal needs, it’s a good idea. Eventually interest rates will rise — they can’t go any lower. The “experts� have been predicting an increase for the past three years. Eventually they’ll be right. So, given those expectations, where do you invest that cash? AAA and AA bonds are less risky than stocks. If you buy them at par — that is, their face value of $1,000 — you’ll get your money back when they come due. But in the meantime, it’s certain they will go down in value as interest rates rise. That includes bond funds as well. Short-term bonds will go down in value less because they come due sooner, but they also pay less interest. And the bond world is not easy to navigate. There’s a simpler, safer, lower-cost way to seek not only whatever current income is available, but to benefit by rising rates as well: laddered certificates of deposit, insured by the FDIC. What does that mean? A CD is a loan to a bank, for as short a time as three months, up to three years, sometimes longer. FDIC insured means if the bank fails, the government will guarantee your CD (There are limits for each CD in your name). It doesn’t matter who or where the bank is; it’s safe as long as it’s FDIC insured. New CDs are offered every week with no commission through most large brokerage firms. Anticipating a trend of rising interest rates (they can only go up from here), but unable to guess when or how much they will change, the laddering of CDs gives you an easy way to benefit by that rising tide. That means you start out with, for example, some six-month CDs, some oneyear CDs, some 18-months, and some two-years. Six months from now the first CDs will come due, and you roll them over into new two-year CDs. Six months later the original one-year CDs come due, MONEY, continued on Page 14

Mattis says he has no interest in running for president

Marines have been calling on retired Gen. James Mattis to consider a run for the Oval Office for years, but they shouldn’t expect him to hit the campaign trail anytime soon. The former head of U.S. Central Command addressed the calls for a presidential bid during a recent speech at Columbia Basin College in Washington state. Mattis, known for his colorful quotes and straight talk, isn’t interested in the politically correct approach some take in Washington. “I’ve lived a very colorful life and I’ve said some things,� he told the audience. “But not once have I taken them back, and I’ve never apologized for them — and I won’t. I like the enemy knowing there are a few guys like me around.� “I like the enemy knowing there are a few guys like me around.� While many troops would love to see Mattis go up against the likes of Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, he said he’d like to see others take on the challenge. “[It’s] time for younger people, especially veterans, to run for office,� Mattis told Marine Corps Times.

Jonathan Pollard, a former Naval intelligence analyst convicted of spying for Israel and passing along a trove of classified documents, has been granted parole and will be released from prison in November after nearly 30 years. The decision to free Pollard caps an extraordinary espionage case that stoked public passions. Critics condemned the American as a traitor who betrayed his country for money. Supporters argued that he was punished excessively given that he spied for a U.S. ally. Pollard, 60, was sentenced to life in prison in 1987, two years after he was caught trying to gain asylum in the Israeli embassy in Washington. Under federal sentencing rules in place at the time, he became eligible for parole in November, the 30th anniversary of his arrest. A three-member panel of the U.S. Parole Commission unanimously voted to grant him parole, effective Nov. 21, according to a statement from his at-

Only one man — George “Tiny� Myers — didn’t make it away alive. He was smashed between the Coast Guard craft and the Pendleton after falling from the rope ladder into the sea. The movie is based on a 2009 book by the same name. The lone surviving member of the Coast Guard crew, Fitzgerald, watched as portions of the film were recorded in a shipyard in Quincy, Mass., just south of Boston. “I’ve never forgotten it,� Fitzgerald, told the Boston Globe in 2014 while on the set for the film. “I can remember it like it was yesterday.� Between the two doomed tanker ships, 70 men were saved.

Continued from Page 2 involved in rescuing other Fort Mercer crewmembers. According to one 2001 account published in Proceedings magazine, the Pendleton burst apart with a series of explosive cracking noises in the early hours of the morning while traveling from New Orleans to Boston. The captain and seven men in the bow of the ship at the time were left without power, and wouldn’t make it out alive. The stern of the Pendleton, carrying 33 men, had a bit more hope. But it still faced extreme peril. Whipped by the wind and angry seas, it drifted closer to shore, but toward a sandbar near the Cape Cod port of Chatham that could have wrecked the rest of the ship and spelled disaster for the men inside. The four Coast Guardsmen launched their 36-foot wooden motor life boat without any certainty they’d make it back alive. They maneuvered the craft around the treacherous Chatham Bar, and then out to the remnants of the Pendleton. There things took a turn for the worse. “As the CG-36500 crossed the bar, the boat was smashed by a mountain of a wave and thrown high in the air. The

compass, but the crew continued on toward the Pendleton in driving snow. In violent, rolling seas, the Pendleton crew descended down a rope ladder and into the Coast Guard boat. The small craft wasn’t built to handle so many people, but Bernard, the group’s leader, refused to turn anyone away.

Show your support, too! Call 858-537-2280 BOLTS Continued from Page 4 form where his play at the end of the year had a big impact during the team’s run to the playoffs. Thanks to two foot injuries during his first two years in the league, Te’o has yet to show the play-making ability that made him an All-American at Notre Dame. Despite being slowed by injuries, the team does like the direction he is heading, particularly in pass coverage. The X-factor surrounding the inside ’backer position is Perryman, a secondround pick out of the University of Miami. The book on Perryman is that he is simply a hard-nosed, physical football player who has great range and lays the wood on opposing players. Expect him to push both Butler and Te’o for playing time and make an immediate impact on special teams. Melvin Ingram and Jerry Attaochu (OLBs) — Finishing 29th in sacks (26) last season, the Chargers are looking for impact plays from both players this season. Despite showing flashes of talent that made him a first-round selection in 2012, Ingram has missed 19 games during his short three-year career. In an effort to help avoid more injuries, Ingram dropped 20 pounds dur-

Craig Mager, drafted by the Chargers in the third round, can play cornerback and safety. ing the offseason and hopes to be more explosive playing at 246 pounds. As for Attaochu, after a dominating performance against the Cardinals in the season opener last season, nagging hamstring injuries threw a wrench into what appeared to be the start of a great rookie year. If this pair can stay healthy, the Chargers could become one of the domi-

nant defenses in the league. Jason Verrett (CB) — Although a torn labrum cut short his rookie year, Verrett has been the talk of the offseason for how good he performed throughout the OTAs (Organized Team Activities) and minicamp. He’s shown the instincts, footwork and speed which made him the Chargers’ first-round pick last season. Blessed with

the physical tools to compete at this level, the 5-foot-9-inch, 178-pound Verrett credits fellow cornerback Brandon Flowers and Weddle for his progress in the mental part of the game. Many believe that if he can stay healthy, Verrett will be mentioned as one of the bright young stars in the NFL. The Endzone: Two other intriguing players to keep an eye on are rookies Craig Mager and Kyle Emanuel. Mager, a physical cornerback out of Texas State, was one of those players who shot up the charts on draft day thanks to post-season workouts. Projected to be a fourth or fifth-round selection, Mager’s play impressed Telesco so much that he chose him in the third round. At 5-feet-11-inches and 200-pounds, Mager has the versatility to play both cornerback and safety. Emanuel, taken in the fifth-round out of North Dakota State, won the Buck Buchanon Award (FCS’ top defensive player) after logging 19.5 sacks his senior year. He was also selected first-team FCS All-American, Missouri Valley Defensive Player of the Year and selected first-team All-Missouri Valley. Despite garnering 41 career sacks as a 4-3 defensive end, scouts believe the 6-foot-3-inch, 250-pound Emmanuel projects better as an outside linebacker in the NFL. "VH 15
