BREMERTON (NNS) — The Navy remembered the fleet’s first female aircraft handling officer during a ceremony in Bremerton Jan. 27. More than 2,000 family members, friends, and shipmates assembled aboard the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz (CVN 68) to pay respect to Lt. Cmdr. Regina Mills, who was struck and killed by a

Marine’s sacrifice honored By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind
A
quiet crowd numbering in the hundreds, many holding American flags, lined a fourmile route in Bellingham Saturday to honor a fallen Marine. U.S. Marine Corps Capt. Daniel Bartle, 27, from Ferndale, was killed in a helicopter crash Jan. 19 in Helmand province, Afghanistan. His remains were returned home Jan. 28 in a processional from the airport to the funeral home. Many of those gathered along the route said though they never knew Bartle personally, their silent tribute spoke volumes.
Lois Miles of Bellingham was among the hundreds lining the route. The daughter of a Navy pilot and mother of an Air Force pilot, Miles felt a special kinship to Bartle, whom she’d never met. She made sure to bring Capt. Daniel both her American flag Bartle and US Marine Corps flag. “I didn’t know him or his family,” said Miles, wiping tears from her eyes. “I just really feel for his family members right now and I pray for God’s comfort for them, and to watch over them.”
As Miles struggled to display the two full-size flags, she said a stranger to her, a woman only known as Terri, helped her balance the flags for the duration of the processional. Although the temperatures ranged from the mid-to-upper 30’s, that did not seem to impact those who waited respectfully on the streets of the processional route. Everson resident Erika Johnson and her children, 2-year-old Jeremiah, and 4-year-old Lilliana, outfitted in ski clothes against the cold, also waited patiently on the street corner adjacent to Westford funeral home in Bellingham.

Young patriots wield a mighty pen VFW honors essay contest winners By KATHY REED Whidbey Crosswind
Y
outh who entered the Veterans of Foreign Wars essay competition “really kicked it,” according to local VFW Whitehead-Muzzall Post Commander Dave Hollett. Members of the VFW Post 7392 and its Ladies Auxiliary gathered at the post Jan. 28 to recognize the first-place winners in the 2011 Youth Essay Contest. “We are here today to recognize the outstanding young people who were this year’s winners,” said Hollett. “A lot of hard work went into writing these essays, and picking the top three (in each category) is really hard.” The contest is made up of three categories: The Junior Youth Essay is open to students in third through fifth grade; the Patriot’s Pen is for children in grades six through eight; and the Voice of Democracy, a recorded essay competition, is open to high school students in grades nine through 12. A first-place prize is awarded in each grade level. There were 13 winners out of 92 entries from the Oak Harbor and Coupeville school districts. Winning entries were forwarded to the VFW district level. Of the 13 local winners, nine went on to win at district. District winners proceed to the
state level and if successful there, to the VFW’s national competition. “These essay contests not only allow students to compete for prizes but also provide an opportunity for young people to share their thoughts and ideas about this year’s patriotic themes,” Hollett said. First to be recognized were the winners of the Patriot’s Pen. The theme for this essay was “Are you proud of your country?” Kevin Moore, a sixth grader at Oak Harbor Middle school, also won third place at the district level. His essay was about the pride he feels in our nation’s military, but said he felt the government is not paying enough attention to finding alternative energy sources. “I’m proud to live in the United States because of our military,” he read from his essay, “but I’d be a lot more proud if we could find more alternative energy sources.” Austin Hauter was a local and district first-place winner. Hauter is in seventh grade at Oak Harbor Middle School. Also winning first place at both the local and district level in the Patriot’s Pen essay was Amanda Kaychelle Fry, an eighth grader at North Whidbey Middle School. Her essay included her three favorite things that make her proud about the United States.
Ninth grader Andrew Southard reads his first-place essay to an audience at the VFW Post Jan. 28, as post commander, Dave Hollett, looks on. KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND “I liked the theme,” she said. “Realizing what I really love about America, I had a list of about 20 things. I chose the three that meant the most to me.” Junior Youth Essay contestants wrote their essays on the theme “What is an American?” Third-grader winner Brendan Andersen, from Crescent Harbor Elementary School, also won second place at the district competition. Brendan’s twin brother, Bennett, won second place in local third grade competition. Two other siblings did well in the Junior Youth Essay contest: Maria Dailey won first place for fourth-graders and her brother, Jakob Dailey, won first place among fifth graders locally and fourth place in the district contest. Both are homeschool students.

PBY Memorial Foundation members dare to dream By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind
Members of the PBY Memorial Foundation commemorated the milestones they have seen since its founding as well as the plans they’ve laid out for the future during the group’s first meeting of the year Jan. 24 at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island’s CPO club. Board member Win Stites called the meeting to order and invoked the legacies overseen by the founding members, many of whom have since passed on. “We won’t forget our founders — sad as it may be for us to lose them, we’ll continue our work in their memory,” said Stites, as he personally listed those individuals. “Our overall mission is to save not just the history of the PBY Catalina aircraft, but the history of naval aviation itself,” said Stites. He said one of the milestones realized was the status the foundation achieved in 2011 as an authorized naval history center. Retired Royal Canadian Air Force Maj. Svend Raun, of Vancouver, B.C., a PBY member, introduced a guest, 2nd Lt. Angela Sargent, who works with the Royal Canadian Air Force 525 squadron in West Vancouver. Vice president Jim Siggens briefed the group on plans to host a theater
buy-out night May 31 at Whidbey Playhouse, with proceeds to benefit the PBY Memorial Foundation. Siggens said that the Playhouse had done this in the past with a number of nonprofit groups. “The theater tickets sold for this event would cover not only the night’s entertainment, but also food and beverage service for the evening,” said Siggens. He said the Playhouse seats 128, so the incentive was there to have a sell-out event. Siggens noted the symbolism and similarities between the planned performance that night, “Man of La Mancha,” and their foundation’s own history. “We share many things in common with Don Quixote,” said Siggens, referencing the play’s main character. “Here at PBY, do we not also have some impossible dreams we’ve tried to realize? “We now have an airplane (the PBY Catalina static display) that others wanted to buy,” Siggens continued. “And we have a museum at our site rather than a gasoline station.” Finance and business committee member Wil Shellenberger updated the membership on results of fundraising, noting the importance of donations to their foundation. “We’re going to need more donations, going forward, from non-
members as well as members,” he said, which raised the possibility of hosting a day at the museum just for donors. Shellenberger also raised the issue of a downturn in visitor foot traffic at the Naval History Center since the implementation of new security procedures at Seaplane Base. “We noticed an immediate dropoff in attendance,” said Shellenberger, while at the same time noting that, “It’s not ours to judge how they (the Navy) do security.” Director of operations Will Stein said the group has a great deal to look forward to in 2012. “I think we’ll have something new to exhibit every month in the museum for this year,” said Stein. “For one thing, this year marks the 70th anniversary of the commissioning of NAS Whidbey in 1942,” he said. Having so much to look forward to means that they need volunteers at the Naval History Center more than ever, said Stein. “Summer’s coming, and with it the possibility of lots more visitors,” Stein said. “We want to encourage people to volunteer, and invite their friends, family and colleagues to do so as well,” he said. Next month’s meeting of the PBY Memorial Foundation will be Feb. 28 at CPO club. For information, go to www.pbymf.org

MILLS | FROM PAGE 1 vehicle when she stopped to assist others involved in a traffic collision in Gig Harbor, Jan. 23. “Regina was a great leader and officer,” said Capt. Paul O. Monger, USS Nimitz commanding officer. “She was a leader and mentor, not only to the sailors and officers in the Air department, but throughout the ship. It would be difficult to find anyone aboard Nimitz whose life or career here wasn’t positively influenced by her. “Tasked with ensuring optimum safety on board an aircraft carrier, an inherently dangerous environment, she died as a result of trying to assist a person faced with potential danger. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family. Regina will be sorely missed,” said Monger. During the ceremony, family members and close friends shared memories and impressions Mills left with them. “Personally, she taught me to put the needs of others before that of your own,” said Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Mills, Mills’ husband. “She lived by that motto. She died by
that motto.” The Louisville, Ky., native enlisted in the Navy in 1986. After graduating recruit training command in Orlando, Fla., Mills was assigned to Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron 41 (HSM 41) aboard Naval Air Station North Island, Calif. In January 1990, she reported to U.S. Naval Support Force Antarctica. Her next duty station was Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, from July 1993 to February 1998. Mills then served as an Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 1st Class aboard Nimitzclass aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72). During her tour aboard Lincoln, she earned a commission as a naval officer through the Limited Duty Officer (LDO) program. Mills became the Navy’s first female Aviation Deck LDO July 1, 2000. In December 2004, Mills was transferred aboard Nimitz as the flight deck officer where she completed two deployments. Mills reported for her second tour aboard Nimitz in December 2009, to serve as the Navy’s first female aircraft handling officer.

Local VFW a trendsetter At a time when fraternal organizations across the nation are struggling to retain membership, the local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 7392 has added a new Men’s Auxiliary. The group held its first meeting Jan. 28, where officers were elected. Tom Catoire is the Men’s Auxiliary president. He said they have been trying for a while to get the group going. KATHY “Two years ago I started recruitREED ing and we always fell just a hair short of what we needed to start a chapter,” he said. To be eligible for membership, men must have a spouse or blood relative who has served in a foreign war. Catoire, who is a veteran but didn’t meet the “foreign war” qualification, joined based on his father’s service. He said he’s looking forward to being able to help the community. “We get to do stuff to help the community. Even our own mayor is a member,” Catoire said, referring to newly-elected Oak Harbor Mayor Scott Dudley. “If we don’t help each other, who will? Especially nowadays, with people not having much.” While the Men’s Auxiliary is still too new to have any concrete plans in place, Catoire said he’d like to see the group raise enough money to sponsor another scholarship. He said the members will also likely do fundraisers in order to help veterans in the community. The group will meet at 6 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month at the VFW post on Goldie Road. Officers will be formally installed Feb. 25. Those interested in joining the Men’s Auxiliary can contact the post at 675-4048. “If they want to do something for their community, this is the best place to do it,” Catoire said. “All we can do is better the community.” Members of the VFW, the VFW Riders and the Ladies Auxiliary have already set a fine example for the Men’s Auxiliary to follow — we wish them much success.

The cost of veterinary care, Part I
Y
ou don’t need me to tell you that taking your pet OR to the veterinarian can be expensive. Having worked as a vetAKE erinarian for more than 30 years, I thought that I would share some ideas as to why veterinary medicine costs what it does, and some things you can do to spend your pet care DVM dollars wisely. Companion animal veterinary medicine is a fairly recent development in the U.S. Before the 50’s, most veterinary clinics primarily treated livestock and pets were an afterthought. During the 60’s and 70’s, small animal clinics came into their own, and the succeeding decades saw the explosion of veterinary care into specialty services such as dedicated emergency facilities and referral practices with veterinary specialists in areas such as surgery and internal medicine with further specialization into cardiology,
F S
dermatology, neurology and others. This level of medical sophistication has ETS greatly improved the quality of life for all pets, but it comes at a price. The average veterinary student graduates with their Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree IEL after eight years of study with an average debt of more than $142,000 and an average starting salary of $66,000. Compare that to someone who graduates as a pharmacist after five years of schooling and a starting salary of $82,000 and you can see that people who go into veterinary medicine don’t do it for the economics. Now consider that to open the average, one-doctor veterinary hospital today would take an investment of about $250,000 just for the equipment necessary to practice to the standard of care expected today. Add real estate and building costs and you

PETS | FROM PREVIOUS PAGE could easily need more than $1 million to get started. Running a small animal practice has a lot in common with any other small business. You have your overhead costs (employees, building, equipment, drugs and supplies) and you try and determine how much to charge to meet all of those expenses, with something left over to earn a living for yourself. There can be tremendous differences between the fees from one practice to another and those differences are based on costs, level of services provided, how long the practice has been open, etc. A high volume practice may

provide a limited number of services more cost effectively, with little time available for high touch care as compared to a practice that emphasizes a greater range of services and level of care. One is not necessarily better than another – they are just options to be aware of when seeking a veterinarian. The reason why veterinary care is as expensive as it is can be traced to several factors. The first, in my opinion, is that the business model the majority of veterinary clinics operate under is outdated and inefficient. For decades, veterinary practices operated as momand-pop businesses where an individual hangs out a shingle and builds a practice over time. That worked when it didn’t take a lot of money to open a practice, but advances in technology

“No, I didn’t ever meet him, but I just wanted to be here today, to honor him and his family for their sacrifice,� said Johnson. “I wanted to be here for his family, and also to teach my kids the importance of honoring our heroes, and cherishing our freedoms.� Bartle’s family members, along with a processional honor guard that included the Patriot Guard Riders motorcycle group, a contingent of them from Oak Harbor, and local law enforcement vehicles,
traveled from Bellingham International Airport to Westford Funeral Home. Two military helicopters, which hovered overhead for the entire route, provided an aerial escort. When the group finally pulled into the funeral home’s parking lot around 1:40 p.m., the atmosphere seemed to grow even quieter — if that were possible — as the sounds of the two helicopters faded away and the Marine detachment reverently carried Bartle’s casket inside the funeral home.

make this less and less economically viable. For example, a new digital radiology unit can cost $85,000. In a town of 30,000 people you may have three or four small animal practices, each with their own radiology unit that may only get used a few times a week. Other economic factors also affect the equation, such as the cost of drugs and supplies, the issue of pet health insurance and even nonprofit groups. I’ll take a closer look at these in my next column and give some tips on what pet owners can do to help keep down the cost of caring for their pets.

ESSAY | FROM PAGE 2 The Voice of Democracy is a recorded essay competition. The theme for this contest was “Is there pride in serving in our military?� Winners this year included ninthgrader Andrew Southard, a homeschool student who has competed in the VFW essay contests regularly. “It always provides a great opportunity to reflect on patriotism and the greatness of our country,� said Sherry Southard, Andrew’s mom. Joshua Martin Dailey, a junior at North Whidbey Christian High School, took first place for his grade level. In all, the Dailey family had six children who participated in the essay contest, and all six of them placed between first and third. “We have done this competition for several years,� said mom Monica Dailey. “Everybody is motivated to do it and it’s an opportunity to discuss this topic with the kids.� The most emotional moment of the presentation came from Brittney Rusinski, a senior at Central Kitsap
High School and former Oak Harbor resident. Her entry also won first place at district. As Rusinski shared her essay, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Her mother, Teri, came and stood behind her, resting her hand on her shoulder. Brittney said she had a hard time trying to record her essay. “I cried almost every time,� she said. Brittney’s mom said her daughter’s entry, in which Brittney voiced the fears she had whenever her father was deployed, touched her heart. “I felt really bad she was feeling all these things and I didn’t realize it,� Teri said. “I’m very proud, but I cried because she was kind of keeping this secret that I didn’t know.� Hollett had one word to describe the process. “Goosebumps,� he said. “If I get goosebumps, they’ve done a good job. “This is one of the best parts about being the VFW Post Commander,� Hollett continued. “Getting to meet these young people and their families.�
