To honor and remember

By DENNIS CONNOLLY

Whidbey Crosswind

On Jan. 7, 2006, Lance Cpl. Kyle W. Brown was walking on patrol with his fellow Marines in Fallujah, Iraq when he was shot by a sniper in the neck between his helmet and his body amour. He died nine minutes later, said his mother, Theresa St. Pierre. He was 22 and the first Whidbey Island solder to die in Iraq, she said.

Now Theresa has an Honor and Remember Flag flying below the American Flag in her front yard. It speaks to people who pass her house about her son, Kyle, who really wanted to be in the Marine Corps and was willing to put his life on the line to do so.

Kyle Brown was tall and “skinny as a rail” said Theresa, but worked out with weights and gained enough muscle — 20 to 30 pounds — to get in the Marine Corps, which he did shortly after gradu-

ating from high school.

He loved it, said his mother.

“From the time he was 11 or 12 he wanted to be a Marine,” she said.

He completed boot camp in October, 2002.

He trained in Korea Lance Cpl. Kyle and Japan and his first duty tour was the 2003 Brown invasion of Iraq. He also served in Afghanistan, Africa and the Philippines.

“This was his third deployment in Iraq,” St. Pierre said. “He’d already done two deployments in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He wanted to go back because his friends in the Marine Corps were over there.”

His permanent duty station was Camp Lejeune, N.C.

Kyle William Brown didn’t suffer, his mother believes. His spinal cord was severed and whatever he went through in his last nine minutes he couldn’t feel.

He wasn’t married and did not have a girlfriend.

But he had a mother and she suffered.

Kyle had gone to live with his father when he was 13 and didn’t come back, but the bonds with his mother were there since his birth.

“He was my Marine,” she said. “I watched him come into this world and I watched him get buried.”

She found out that Kyle had died by word of mouth.

The Marine Corps sent word from Quantico, Va. to Camp Lejeune and by the time it got to Whidbey, St. Pierre had already found out. She dealt with it and still deals with it.

Safety rules at NASWI Annual summer safety fair draws a big crowd on base

By DENNIS CONNOLLY

Whidbey Crosswind

Just about everything you’ve ever wanted to know about being safe and staying safe was the focus last week at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

A Summer Safety Fair was held May 20 in the parking lot in front of the gym and fitness center.

“We’ve been doing this about three or four years,” said Ken Davies, safety specialist. “I think this is the best one we’ve ever had.”

The sunny weather certainly didn’t hurt, nor did the smell of hamburgers and hot dogs grilling out by a white, tented fit dome.

While inside the fit dome, several people representing banks, dentists, Fleet and Family Support, counseling and service centers, Navy fitness, Emergency Coordination Center, Naval Hospital Oak Harbor, Navy Operation Stress Council and many more were set up at tables while sailors and Marine Corps personnel looked at the demonstrations and got their passports, or muster sheets, signed.

The goal of the fair was to remind Sailors and Marines to make smart decisions and manage the risks while participating in summer activities between Memorial Day and Labor Day, when most Sailors and Marines get hurt at home.

The safety fair also wanted to show it is possible to be safe and have fun at the same time.

Aviation Structural Mechanic Mark Castro said the firefighting demonstration was helpful.

“Extinguishing fires is good for people to see because

they are going camping and barbecuing and doing stuff like that and it helps to have an idea how to put fires out,” he said.

Jeff Kirkey, the base emergency management officer, said they are trying to get personnel to prepare themselves and their families for an emergency event, should it happen.

“We let law enforcement worry about whatever the event is, a natural disaster or other,” he said. “We try to get the family situation mitigated.”

Another table where Sailors and Marine Corps personnel gathered was one where there were goggles that simulated impaired driving.

Men and women we given impaired driving goggles,

which make it impossible to see clearly.

They had to walk a straight line on the floor and catch a stuffed toy while wearing the goggles.

Not many people succeeded.

Aviation Machinist’s Mate Airman Apprentice Lorinda Johnson did better than most. While her line walking was as shaky and uneven as most people, she did catch the stuffed toy.

“It made me feel a little dizzy,” Johnson said. “It’s pretty realistic.”

All in all, the event was pretty successful, said Davies.

“We probably had 20 events and over 2,100 people,” he said.

Whidbey Crosswind hosts first of many receptions for active duty spouses

In what is expected to become a monthly function, the Whidbey Crosswind hosted its first reception for wives of active duty Navy personnel last Sunday at Casual House in downtown Oak Harbor.

The apparel store closed its doors early and provided an exclusive shopping experience to those attending, offering special discounts on merchandise.

Ladies were able to taste three different wines and sample an assortment of cheeses and savory treats from Bayleaf.

Mandy Broadway, wife of Aviation Support Equipment Technician Jody Broadway, said she’s always looking for fun events like this one to attend.

“I’m into getting out,” she said.

“What a fun day! We wanted to hear from Navy spouses about what types of things they would like to read about in the Crosswind, so we partnered up with the Casual House and the Bayleaf for some shopping fun and wine and cheese tasting,” said publisher Marcia Van Dyke.

“It was a great way to get to know these women and what they’re all about. We had such a great time that I would like to do this on a monthly basis and really get to know more about these women who are ‘faithful in the shadows,’ and shine a bigger light on them.”

Van Dyke conducted a trivia contest with questions from the latest issue of Crosswind. Winner Erika Jones received a $100 gift certificate from Casual House. Second place honors went to Ann Benefiel, who was presented with a $25 gift certificate from Bayleaf.

Veterans: The American Legion wants you

By K ATHY REED

Whidbey Crosswind

I

t is the nation’s oldest veterans organization, and if you ask Lenord Little, it is apparently one of the best kept secrets as well.

Little is the commander of George Morris Post 129 of the American Legion in Oak Harbor. Like many organizations these days, they are in need of “new blood,” as he puts it.

“We have 410 members,” he said. “We used to have two times Lenord Little that.”

Of that membership, only a small portion is active.

Little said the decline has come within the last 10 years.

One of the culprits, he thinks, is technology.

“People want to be at home, chatting on their computer or texting on their phone,” he said.

Another problem is an aging membership.

“We have a lot of older members who just can’t get out to the meetings,” said Little.

Identity Crisis Perhaps one of the biggest issues could best be described as an identity crisis.

According to Little, a lot of people have no concept of what the American Legion does.

“The American Legion as a whole supports veterans of all forces. It’s part of our creed,” Little said. “And we try to give back to the city as much as possible.”

Little cited several things the local post does in addition to helping veterans gain access to their benefits, such as providing military honors at funerals, building a ramp for a disabled veteran, or providing a flag to a local cemetery.

The local post is also very involved with the Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps at Oak Harbor High School, providing one scholarship and donating money annually to the group’s rifle team.

As a whole, the

“If you have served, you are a veteran and you are welcome with open arms. If you are a veteran, you should be a member of the American Legion. ” – Lenord Little American Legion has done a lot across the region and across the country, said Little. For instance, anyone who travels across Deception Pass Bridge can give a nod to the American Legion.

The group helped form the Deception Pass Bridge Association, which in turn helped get the 1929 Bridge Bill passed, paving the way for its eventual construction.

And in 1944, the American Legion led an intense campaign in newspapers, movie theaters and on the radio in support of the G.I. Bill.

It was members of the American Legion who tracked down Rep. John Gibson, who was recuperating from an illness in Georgia, and got him to Washington, D.C. in time for a critical vote on the measure.

“I’ve actually had people ask me ‘what has the American Legion done for me?’,” said Little. “I tell them, ‘You have retirement benefits? You have medical benefits? Have you heard of a little thing called the G.I. Bill?’ That’s what the American Legion has done.”

While the American Legion has been known to lobby for veterans rights, Little said the organization doesn’t take sides, except to stand up for veterans’ rights.

“We don’t care about politics,” he said. “We take no stand. We just want to get the job done. That’s what we’re here for.”

The Oak Harbor American Legion George Morris Post is located in what was the Stroops’ Garage, at the corner of Barrington and Dock streets. KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

Donate your war memorabilia The George Morris Post 129 of the American Legion is seeking donations of war memorabilia. The post is hoping to collect items and artifacts from area residents to be put on display in a new cabinet at the organization’s building in Oak Harbor.

Anyone interested in donating items can contact the American Legion at 675-2411.

Ocean Systems Technician.

He’s been the post commander in Oak Harbor for the past six years, saying he’s either doing something “intensely right, or they just don’t want the job.”

He encourages anyone who has been a member of the military, even if just for a day, to consider joining the American Legion.

“If you have served, you are a veteran, and you are welcome with open arms,” he said. “If you are a veteran, you should be a member of the American Legion.”

Little sees his time in the

American Legion as a way of giving thanks for the benefits he gained through his military service. But he describes the rewards of being part of the Legion as an even bigger benefit.

“I know if I have a problem I can sit down with anyone here and talk about it,” he said. “And I know the person I’m talking

American Legion Post 129 Commander, Lenord Little, points out the names on one of the post’s original charter documents. KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND to understands, because they’ve been in that place.

That’s where the strength of the American Legion family comes into it. We’re here to help and the serving isn’t over yet.”

OUR VIEWS

Reflections on Memorial Day I grew up watching my mother and her sister bring flowers to their parents’ graves every Memorial Day. It was just something they did. As I grew older, I of course began to realize the day was meant to honor our fallen men and women who had died in service to their country.

Memorial Day meant something special. It was a time of reflection, memory and appreciation; a few moments of quiet to think about those who had gone before us.

KATHY Today, Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of the sumREED mer — a three-day weekend to spend having some fun, whether that means firing up the grill, taking the kids on a picnic, heading to your favorite campground or even taking advantage of the numerous sales meant to lure us to the shopping districts and malls.

The fact that Coupeville holds one of the few Memorial Day parades in the state speaks volumes to the character of the folks here on Whidbey Island. We can enjoy our time off and make the parade a family outing and a day of fun, but we recognize the reason and the meaning behind the celebration and pay homage to the people who have sacrificed to make it possible for us to celebrate.

Thanks to the community of Coupeville for holding onto a tradition. Thanks to volunteers and members of veterans’ organizations who will spend part of their weekend placing flags along our streets and on the graves of those who have served our country. And thanks to those who will spend time organizing, participating and attending services on Memorial Day. It’s a great weekend to celebrate — let’s just remember why.

American Flag Etiquette

Courtesy of www.usa-flag-site.org Federal law stipulates many aspects of flag etiquette. The section of law dealing with American flag etiquette is generally referred to as the Flag Code. Some general guidelines from the Flag Code answer many of the most common questions: * The flag should be lighted at all times, either by sunlight or by an appropriate light source. * The flag should be flown in fair weather, unless the flag is designed for inclement weather use. * The flag should never be dipped to any person or thing. It is flown upside down only as a distress signal. * The flag should not be used for any decoration in general. Striped bunting is available for these purposes. * The flag should never be used for any advertising purpose. * The flag should not be used as part of a costume or athletic uniform, except that a flag patch may be used on the uniform of military personnel, fireman, policeman and members of patriotic organizations. * The flag should never have any mark, insignia, letter, word, number, figure, or drawing of any kind placed on it, or attached to it. * The flag should never be used for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. * When the flag is lowered, no part of it should touch the ground or any other object; it should be received by waiting hands and arms. It should be folded neatly and ceremoniously for storage. * The flag should be cleaned and mended when necessary. * When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner.

A more comprehensive set of flag etiquette rules is available at www.usa-flag-site.org.

Old Fogies to the rescue They work on solving the world’s problems over breakfast

By Dennis Connolly

Whidbey Crosswind

It’s 9 a.m. Monday morning at Artie’s Restaurant and the Old Fogies are arriving.

They’re not as numerous as some mornings but they’re as opinionated as always.

And why shouldn’t they be? Some of these guys are in their 80’s, they’ve fought in wars from World War II through Vietnam and they’ve got the wounds and scars to show for it.

“We solve all the world’s problems,” said Donald Grove, retired Command Master Chief of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

“Political, social, religious, whatever.”

They also keep track of, and report on each other — who’s at home, who’s on vacation or who’s in the hospital.

There are 15 Old Fogies these days - one from the Army, one from the Air Force, one from the Marine Corps and 12 from the Navy.

They started getting together about 13 years ago. Their club was originally called the Old Farts, but they started giving money away and helping organizations and they thought it would be better to change their name to the Old Fogies.

Secretary and treasurer Grove said some of the organizations they donate to through their good works fund, include the Oak Harbor Lions Club, the National Naval Air Museum in Pensacola, Fla., muscular dystrophy, the PBY Memorial Foundation, Toys for Tots, the Sea-Tac Airport USO, multiple sclerosis, the Whidbey Patrol Squadron Memorial and the Whidbey A-3 Skywarrior Memorial Association.

Do they have any stories about the old days, they are asked.

“Tell him about the White Lady, Dutch,” an Old

Fogie says to the Marine, ‘Dutch’ Strehle.

“Yeah Dutch, I’ve heard that story too,” says another.

“I never saw her but my Marines were convinced she was out there,” Dutch said.

So he tells the story about when he was stationed at Naval Air Station Cubi Point in Subic Bay, in the Philippines. Marines, sailors and others reported seeing the White Lady. She was a Filipina who was supposed to be a ghost looking for her dead husband. She was dressed in clothes that glowed, really glowed. She didn’t talk to them, just ghosted over to where they were and glowed. And then disappeared.

Dutch tells how he had to go out and walk the base perimeter with his young Marine guards because they were too rattled to walk patrol alone.

The story is on the Internet too.

The Old Fogies share a lot of their experiences at their Monday morning meetings.

There’s Lt. Cmdr. Jim Lotzgezell, who served in World War II and was nearly shot down by two Australian pilots. There is retired 1st Sgt. Dutch Strehle, who saw a lot of fighting in Vietnam and was wounded for his trouble, and many who had extensive experience in the A-3 Skywarrior, the first jet stationed on Whidbey Island that returned just a few weeks ago.

They share their efforts on behalf of the Navy and Oak Harbor and each other.

Because isn’t that what you want Old Fogies to do?

Solve the world’s political, social and religious problems at breakfast on Monday mornings?

Coupeville parade honors fallen heroes Coupeville’s annual Memorial Day parade and Remembrance Ceremony takes place Saturday, beginning at 11 a.m.

(Left) Theresa St. Pierre holds out the Honor and Remember flag for her son, Lance Cpl. Kyle William Brown, who was the first Marine from Whidbey Island to lose his life in Iraq.

DENNIS CONNOLLY/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

MARINE | FROM PAGE 1 St. Pierre said the Marine Corps Casualty Assistance Calls Officer was a big help.

“We worked with the CACO and he was very helpful.

We went to his funeral in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors,” she said. “He got tickets for four of us, hotel rooms, everything.”

St. Pierre was also presented with the U.S. flag flown home with Brown from Iraq and she placed flowers and mementos on top of his casket before it was lowered into

the ground.

She received a beautiful quilt from Betty Nielsen from Freedom Quilts in Fonda, Iowa, with pictures and memories of Kyle on it.

Then in the fall of 2008, she received an e-mail from George A. Lutz.

He had started a national campaign so that people who had lost loved ones in Iraq and Afghanistan, or anywhere in the military, would have a flag that would show their sacrifice was not in vain, and they would never be forgotten.

The flag is for anyone in the U.S. military for the last

200 years who died while serving their county and the right to officially fly the flag and be recognized is in committee right now.

So Theresa might be the first one to fly the flag on Whidbey Island but there are thousands of other homes in the United States that could fly the flag as well.

As the words on the Honor and Remember presentation say: “With this flag we honor this patriot’s unwavering dedication and remember their selfless sacrifice. By displaying this symbol collectively as a nation, we humbly recognize the enormity of your loss and respectfully say thank you.”

Free, Fun Activities on U.S. Constitution for Military Kids PITTSBURGH, PA — Military Family Network, a community support network serving America’s military families since 1999, and K12, the largest provider of online education in America for grades kindergarten through 12, are offering kids fun, free and interactive online activities about the United States Constitution.

Through these cool,

educational activities, military children will develop a deeper understanding of our nation’s founding principles, our rights and freedoms, as well as America’s ideals.

The Constitution activities present short educational modules stocked full of interactive features using audio, pictures, puzzles, matching games and scavenger hunts. There

are six levels, tailored for all ages. The activities can be accessed online at k12. com/constitution.

Parents, teachers and other adults are encouraged to do the exercises with children. The modules supply ideas and talking points to help guide and stimulate discussions while referencing other resources for those interested in delving deeper into the history

of the Constitution.

Military Family Network and K12 believe that learning about the Constitution will help military children bond more deeply with their military parents by increasing pride and respect for their military service.

As these children grow in awareness about their role and service to America’s freedom, their

self-respect and self-esteem will increase.

And, the activities can also show military children how military families are intricately woven into a noble vocation of service to our nation. Through this understanding, military children will have a greater connection to the military community.

“This broader perspective can help increase chil-

Convenience, Style & Grace

We will never forget…

Those who have gone before, not in search of glory, but to preserve a fragile peace… those who bravely forge a path towards freedom.

dren’s resiliency by giving them a place in their family’s military service while recognizing their individual contribution,” said Megan Turak, executive vice president of Military Family Network.

By having a better understanding of the part they play in America and what this means in daily life, military children will also be better equipped to respond to inquiries from peers about their family’s military service.

While Military Family Network and K12 have collaborated before on activities and events supporting military families, this is the first time that they have offered the U.S. Constitution activities.

“We wanted to do something meaningful and lasting,” said Ellen Promisloff, K12 director, marketing.

Military Family Network and K12 are excited to bring these dynamic, activities about our nation’s Constitution to military kids everywhere.

Naval Station Everett cancels Independence Day event Heightened security has led Naval Station Everett to cancel its local Freedom Festival, part of the annual Independence Day weekend celebrations in Everett.

“We have reached the determination that a heightened security posture attained by all Navy installations, activities, units and submarines will not allow us to participate this year,” Public Affairs Officer Kristen Ching said.

“This increased security posture will be maintained until further notice and is not in response to any specific identified threat.”

Traditionally the Freedom Festival has featured ship tours and family entertainment for the local community. Ching said last year about 10,000 people attended the festival on July 3. “We hope to resume holding the Freedom Festival next summer, if possible,” said Ching.

The Navy will continue to support the city of Everett in its celebration, Ching said. The Navy Band Northwest will participate in the city-wide parade along with other Navy representatives.

Foster Parent Training Training to become a foster parent in Island County begins Tuesday at the Whidbey Campus of Skagit Valley College in Oak Harbor.

Lenord Little, commander of Oak Harbor’s American Legion Post 129, presents a new flag to Maple Leaf Cemetery staff and commissioners. Pictured from left are Little, Sue Byington, Mike Dougliss, Dur Roberson and David Watson. KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

FLAG | FROM PAGE 1 on special occasions.

“We noticed the old flag was getting a little tattered, so we offered to provide a new one,” said Little.

The new flag measures 10 feet by 15 feet, more than twice the size of the old one.

“It’s a 60-foot pole, so we needed something significant,” said David Watson, assistant to the supervisor. “This one’s made of cotton, so we’ll fly it on special occasions like Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Veterans’ Day.” The American Legion took the money to purchase the flag from its funds, which was appreciated by the cemetery’s commissioners.

“I think it’s an outstanding thing to do for us,” said commissioner Dur Roberson.

“The American Legion has been a tremendous support to the cemetery.”

“There’s a lot of history buried here.

This 27-hour course is a requirement to become a foster parent.

The training is offered only a couple of times each year in the local area.

Those interested may contact Sheri Rego at regs300@dshs.wa.gov for information.

Artist Susan Swapp featured at First Friday event Garry Oak Gallery’s fea-

It’s a real honor they did this for us,” said commissioner Sue Byington.

Part of Island County Cemetery District One, Maple Leaf is a junior taxing district.

According to Roberson, the cemetery receives about $20,000 per year from county taxes.

“That doesn’t even pay one salary,” Roberson said.

It costs about $100,000 to run Maple Leaf, which makes up the difference by selling grave plots and monuments. In a tight economy, that can be a challenge.

“Sometimes it gets pretty thin,” acknowledged supervisor Mike Dougliss.

“It isn’t something you can predict.”

Maple Leaf Cemetery dates back to 1904.

It is 10.5 acres and has roughly 7,000 grave sites, with room for at least 7,000 more.

According to Dougliss, if the current usage trends continue, there is enough space in Maple Leaf to last about 200 years.

tured artist, Susan Swapp, will host the Gallery’s First Friday event in downtown Oak Harbor from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 3.

Organizers invite those interested to join her for chocolates, wine, great art and a front row view of construction on Pioneer Way. Swapp, who said she is basically self-taught, paints a variety of subjects and doesn’t limit herself.

“I work in most medi-

ums,” she said in a release.

Swapp’s pastels and art tiles are on display at the Gallery.

Raised in the Pacific Northwest, Swapp said pet portraits and wildlife are a special part of her art.

Parking for the First Friday Pioneer Way event is available on Fidalgo Street behind Harborside Village. Call 240-0222 or go to www.garryoakgallery. com for information.

OFFERS BASED ON GREYSHEET PRICES

ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1965. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICCA members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1965. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1965 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot.

If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007.

While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICCA and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1965 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said.

1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850.

These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICCA. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays.

Other types of items the ICCA will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc.

Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewelry, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at over $1,400.00 per ounce near an all time high. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot – it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewelry and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers.

So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If your’re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

Relay for Life counts on NAS Whidbey Navy personnel and their families to join in the annual fundraising event

By MELANIE HAMMONS

Whidbey Crosswind

The countdown is on for Oak Harbor’s Relay for Life, slated for next Friday and Saturday, June 3 and 4 at North Whidbey Middle School.

Navy members and their families will join others across Whidbey Island in the signature fundraising event for the American Cancer Society.

Among them will be a family stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, Hospital Corpsmen Nathan and Wendy Charboneau, and at least three of their six children.

The family has a significant reason to take part this year.

Their youngest daughter, 2-yearold Elayna, is currently undergoing treatment for adrenocortical carcinoma, a rare cancer.

“This is my first year participating in Relay for Life,” said Wendy.

“We can’t think of a better way to show our appreciation for the care shown our daughter than to support this effort.

“My friend and co-worker, former Hospital Corpsman Heather Buenaventura, is a team captain for Relay for Life, and she invited us to participate,” said Wendy.

Naval Hospital Oak Harbor alone has two or three teams participating this year, but there are many teams “from all over the base,” according to Wendy.

Elayna was diagnosed with cancer while the Charboneaus were stationed in Chicago.

Even before that time, they supported St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, inspired by a childhood friend of Wendy’s who had received cancer treatment there.

Now, they are dedicated supporters of Relay for Life as well.

“All the proceeds go to the American Cancer Society,” said Wendy. “It’s a very worthy cause, and the money raised will be put to good use,” she said.

Buenaventura, their team captain, is equally passionate about the fund-

The 2011 Relay for Life of North Whidbey gets underway at 6 p.m. Friday, June 3 and runs through 2 p.m. Saturday, June 4 at North Whidbey Middle School in Oak Harbor. So far there are 115 teams and more than 1,160 people scheduled to participate.

For information about this event, contact April Wilder at aprilstar@silvana.org or Miranda Hoppock at mnhoppock@gmail.com.

“We can’t think of a better way to show our appreciation for the care shown our daughter than to support this effort.”

– Wendy Charboneau raiser.

“This is a great thing to be involved in. This year marks my sixth year of participation,” said Buenaventura.

Like many others, she has experienced firsthand the challenges posed by a cancer diagnosis.

“I’m thankful to be a cancer survivor, for 25 years now,” said Buenaventura.

“It’s both gratitude, and the hope for a cure someday, that motivates me,” she said.

Buenaventura also finds it inspiring that the Charboneau family plans to participate in the Relay.

“Elayna will be the youngest participant there. It’s an honor to join with her and others of all ages in the march for a cure,” she said.

PRO

Luminaria bags still available The North Whidbey Relay for Life has available Luminaria bags in the following categories: • “In Celebration of ” — for those who have survived cancer.

Tired and Retired Civil Service Ladies meet

By Kathy Reed

Whidbey Crosswind

here is no formal structure and there is no agenda.

For the 40 or so ladies that gathered at the CPO Club on Ault Field Road in Oak Harbor May 18, it’s all about seeing familiar faces.

They are the Tired and Retired Civil Service Ladies of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, and this year they represented 975.5 years of cumulative service. The group gets together once a year to see old friends and catch up on news.

“People share things they don’t get to share otherwise,” said Barbara Wilson, as a friend stops to show her a family photo.

Wilson is the group’s unofficial leader. She said the group has been around since at least 1980, and emerged following the disbanding of the Federal Managers

Jean Hayden, who retired in 1985, and lends Wilson a hand. “This year we worked days and days and days on tracking down people.”

Over and over again, the tired and retired ladies listed camaraderie as the number one reason they attend the annual luncheon.

“It’s just a fun thing to see old friends. There are no ulterior motives,” Hayden said. “Women like to get together. You don’t need all that formal stuff.”

Ann Thomas hadn’t been to a meeting in three years.

At 90, she was one of the oldest participants and was happy to have gotten a ride to this year’s meeting.

“I love seeing everyone,” she said.

Out of 29 years doing data processing in the Civil Service, Thomas said she probably spent 24 years on Whidbey Island. She retired in 1982.

“Shirley Lengyel, who worked in the supply department, started meeting with a small group of supply people,” Wilson said. “When you were working (at NASWI) you would move from one department to another, so you would kind of get to know people.”

The meetings just kind of grew, Wilson said, and have evolved into a once-a-year gathering each spring. She said the meeting this year was also meant to honor longtime Oak Harbor resident and member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, Margaret Martin, although she could not attend the luncheon. A display paid homage to Martin and her service during World War II, and featured photos from prior gatherings as well.

This year’s turnout was one of the best in recent years, thanks to the hard work by Wilson and a small team of helpers.

Joint strike fighter makes first air show appearance From Naval Air Systems Command Public Affairs

ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. (NNS) — The F-35C Joint Strike Fighter made its first public appearance at an air show May 21.

Piloted by Lt. Cmdr. Eric “Magic” Buus, the F-35C made a single pass down

the show line at the Joint Service Open House at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. The flight commemorated 100 years of naval aviation by highlighting the future of tactical air power for the U.S. Navy.

The F-35C variant of the joint strike fighter is distinct from the F-35A and

An aircraft carrier variant of the F-35C Joint Strike Fighter flies over Andrews Air Force Base, Md., during the Joint Service Open House. This is the first public appearance of a joint strike fighter aircraft at an air show. Lt. Cmdr. Eric “Magic” Buus piloted the aircraft. The F-35C is a fifth generation strike fighter with stealth capability and has larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear.

F-35B versions with its larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear for greater control in the demanding carrier take-off and landing environment.

The flyover originated

from the F-35C’s primary test site at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. and was executed in the same manner as any controlled test sortie. The aircraft, CF-2, flew within

its approved flight envelope and was accompanied by an F-18 Hornet flying chase.

The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program is in the system

development and demonstration phase, focusing on delivering three different and new aircraft variants to the U.S. Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force. All three variants integrate advanced low observable stealth into a supersonic, multi-role fighter.

Navy Lays Keel for PCU Minnesota NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (NNS)— The Navy celebrated the keel laying of Pre-Commissioning Unit Minnesota at Huntington Ingalls Industries - Newport News Shipbuilding (HII-NNS) in Newport News, Va., May 20.

In a time-honored Navy tradition, ship sponsor Ellen Roughead, wife of Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead, had her initials welded onto a steel plate that will be permanently affixed to Minnesota’s hull. Mrs. Roughead, a former educator, has been a tireless supporter of military families and continuing education initiatives for Navy spouses.

“We are honored to have Mrs. Roughead as Minnesota’s sponsor,” said Capt. Michael Jabaley, Virginia-class program manager. “The keel laying marks the beginning of a special relationship between Mrs. Roughead, this submarine, and her crew. Her dedication and support of our sailors and their families is admirable and will pay dividends for the submarine force for years to come.”

Minnesota’s keel-laying is the submarine’s first major event since it began construction in February 2008; the submarine is on track for early delivery.

“Our shipbuilding partners have done an outstanding job of reducing the amount of time it takes to deliver these much-needed platforms,” said Rear Adm. David Johnson, program executive officer for submarines.

Minnesota is the tenth submarine of the Virginia class and the last of the second, or Block II, construction contract. The submarine, like all Virginia-class boats, is being built under a unique construction contract between HIINNS and General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB).

Enterprise lands 400,000th plane An F/A-18F Super Hornet makes the landmark arrested landing

By MICHAEL CROFT

Mass Communications Specialist 3rd Class USS Enterprise Public Affairs

USS ENTERPRISE, At sea (NNS) — An F/A18F Super Hornet from the Red Rippers of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 11 became the 400,000th aircraft to land on USS Enterprise’s (CVN 65) flight deck May 24.

Lt. Matthew L. Enos and Weapon System Officer Lt. Cmdr. Jonathan Welsh manned the Super Hornet for the historic landing.

Enos said he is honored he was the pilot to put Enterprise on the short list of aircraft carriers with 400,000 landings.

“This is a day I will never forget,” said Enos.

“This has been a great deployment even without this feat. Being able to do this is just the icing on the cake.”

Enterprise is only the fourth Navy aircraft carrier to have more than 400,000 carrier landings, and is the only carrier still in commission to surpass the number.

Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, Enterprise’s embarked air wing, was honored to be a part of this great achievement.

“I’m glad we were able to be here to pull this off,” said Capt. Jeffrey L. Trent, commander of CVW-1.

“I give thanks to everyone involved in this landing. Many people don’t understand how many people are involved in landing a jet on a ship. This made everyone’s day,” Trent continued.

Below the flight deck Aviation Boatswain’s Mate (Equipment) 3rd Class Joseph R. Naval was manning the number two arresting gear engine when the 400,000th arrested

“U.S. naval aviation has been at the forefront of our national destiny, and has become an unrivaled maritime force. Our forces are doing amazing work every day, around the world, and they are making a crucial difference in ongoing operations. ” – Rear Adm. Ted Branch landing was made.

“It’s a great feeling to be able to say you had a hand in making the history books,” said Naval.

“It’s not a big surprise though, working on a ship as old as Enterprise means all of us on board are making history everyday,” Naval continued.

Enterprise’s achievement falls on a historic year for naval aviation.

One hundred years ago marks the birth of naval aviation, only eight years after the Wright brothers flew their historic flight.

“U.S. naval aviation has been at the forefront of our national destiny, and has become an unrivaled maritime force,” said Rear Adm. Ted Branch, commander, Naval Air Forces Atlantic.

“Our forces are doing amazing work every day, around the world, and they are making a crucial difference in the ongoing operations,” he continued.

U.S. Navy aircraft operate from nearly every ship in the fleet, as well as from bases around the world, providing uniquely

capable, forward presence and giving naval air assets access nearly anywhere in the world.

“One of the greatest strengths that carrier aviation brings to the table is ‘presence,’” said Capt.

Gregory C. Huffman, Enterprise’s executive officer.

“Simply by moving into an area of operation, we play a part in shaping world events and defining national strategy.

“In many parts of the world, the carrier and air wing dwarf the capabilities of entire air forces. That is a powerful tool,” Huffman said.

In her 50 years of service, Enterprise has wowed many people and set many records.

She is the first nuclearpowered carrier and the first nuclear carrier to transit the Suez Canal.

Enterprise was the first carrier to fly F-14 Tomcats and is the longest warship in the world. This achievement of 400,000 landings is one more record added to the list.

“I think it’s only fitting that a squadron with the impressive history of the ‘Red Rippers’ is the one to make this landing,” said Capt. Dee L. Mewbourne, commanding officer of Enterprise. “We are witnessing history.”

The other three carriers with more than 400,000 traps are USS Lexington (CV 16), USS Independence (CV 62) and USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63).

Enterprise and Carrier Air Wing 1 are in the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility conducting close-air support missions as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.

LADIES| FROM PAGE 11 The prize for who had traveled the greatest distance went to Dorothy Cort Hoover, who worked in Civil Service for 20 years.

She and her husband come from Arizona each year for a visit, so they moved their plans up when she found out about last week’s gathering.

“This is the place I feel most at home,” she said.

Those attending were asked to share a funny story about their time working at NAS Whidbey and there was no shortage of tales or laughter.

Lulu Santos, who worked for housing, shared the story of a time she went to do an inspection at a home in Mount Vernon. She pulled into the driveway of the vacant house, but her foot slipped off the brake and hit the gas — her Navy pickup truck went through the garage door.

Sandy Dillard, who worked for Public Works during her time in Civil Service, told the ladies about the time a co-worker made a beautiful tray of candies to fool the engineers who worked on the floor below.

Because the ladies in the administration office were

tired of them coming to their floor to eat their food without ever reciprocating, they thought they’d put one over on them. The candies were filled with dog food, soap and garlic. Dillard said the engineers caught on fast to the soap and garlic candies, but never figured out the candy with the crunchy centers were actually kibble.

In a brief story about how times have changed, Hoover described how her office was moving to another building, and her boss told the women they could wear pants to work that day.

Former public affairs officer and an editor of the original “Crosswinds” newspaper, Lee Brainard, shared this story: “One of the big shot admirals was here from Washington, D.C. I went to cover the story and take his picture,” she recalled. “When I got back to the office, I discovered I didn’t have any film in the camera.”

With 1,200 federal employees currently working on base, Hayden estimates there have been hundreds of ladies who’ve come and gone over the years. Many of them have come and gone from the group as well.

“They die, they move away,” she said. “Sometimes I marvel we’re all still walking.”
