evon Burgess moves quickly, almost dancing around the boxing ring, ducking and swaying, dodging back and plunging forward. He talks almost constantly, coaching his sparring partners — motivating them, telling them how they can use his moves to their advantage, cheering them on when they land a good punch. At 23, Burgess is the number oneranked heavyweight division fighter in USA Boxing’s Pacific Northwest Region. The Naval Aircrewman Operator 3rd Class with Maritime Patrol Squadron (VP) 40 on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island is headed to Colorado Springs, Colo., later this month to fight for the national title. If successful there, he has a chance at his dream – the Olympic Trials. “I have two dreams,” Burgess said last week during practice with the Whidbey Island Boxing Club. “To fly for my country and to fight for my country. I get to fly for my country through my job. But I also hope to fight for my country at the Olympics.”
Early start Born and raised in Detroit, Mich., Burgess started boxing at the age of 15. He said he first got into it to try to become closer to his father. He also wanted to set an example for his younger brothers and sisters.
Navy exercises option for second research ship #Z ,"5): 3&&% Whidbey Crosswind
To say Dakota Creek Industries’ ship has come in could be inaccurate, seeing as the Anacortes shipbuilder is building not one, but two research vessels for the U.S. Navy. The Department of Defense announced Feb. 3 that Dakota Creek Industries had been awarded a contract modification of more than $70 million to build a second Auxiliary

KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND “Coming from Detroit, it’s easy to be distracted growing up,” Burgess said. “I had to set that example for them. I wanted them to know that no matter what, you can still accomplish your dreams.” Burgess enlisted in the Navy two years ago. He was assigned to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island last November and said the first thing he did was look for the nearest gym. He settled on the Whidbey Island Boxing Club and coach Rob Sturdevant. According to Sturdevant, Burgess has a lot of good experience and
training, and possesses a key element necessary to succeed. “Besides learning good boxing skills, he is also a very dedicated, hard worker,” Sturdevant said. “The best boxers are the ones who have natural talent and are hard-working.” There are currently about 15 to 20 boxers who are part of the Whidbey Island Boxing Club. There are approximately 20 clubs in the Pacific Northwest

Although January’s snowy weather postponed the Whidbey Island Shanty Fest 2012, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Shifty Sailors singing group, said director Vern Olsen. “I’m sort of thinking that perhaps February may not be a bad time of year to plan an event like this after all,” said Olsen, who has been with the group since its founding in 1993.
The third annual Shanty Fest, rescheduled for Feb. 18 at Greenbank Farm, features the Shifty Sailors as well as other musical acts in a fundraiser concert benefitting three medical support funds: Friends of Friends, Small Miracles and Medical Safety Net of North Whidbey. “This event not only aims to celebrate our maritime heritage here on the island we call home, it also reinforces

“This was met with great outrage,” said Barkus. “The U.S. has closed its embassy in Syria and several other countries are recalling their ambassadors.” At the time of the meeting, Barkus said both the foreign minister of Russia and its chief of intelligence were in Syria. While the foreign minister’s visit is not unusual, there was concern over why Russian Intelligence Chief Mikhail Fradkov would be in Syria. Details of his trip were not available.

ormer Oak Harbor mayor Jim Slowik presided over his first meeting as president of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League during the group’s meeting Tuesday at the Officers’ Club on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. His first order of business was to thank copresidents Beth Munns and Dick Devlin, who took over following the departure of Navy League president Tom Tack. Members acknowledged their service with a round of applause and a standing ovation.
Guest speaker
Special guests Several members of the Bellingham Area Council were welcomed. According to the group’s president, Chic Murray, the Bellingham Council has about 50 members and focuses locally on the three Coast Guard vessels homeported there. But the group has taken on a national project. While on a trip to Hawaii, Murray visited the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, or Punchbowl Cemetery, in Honolulu, where more than 33,000 service men and women are buried. While walking along a path, he noticed several memorial markers for various organizations such as Daughters of the American Revolution and Veterans of Foreign Wars. Murray said he checked all the markers, and found none for the Navy League. He thought it was wrong. “There should be a plaque there and there’s gonna be,” Murray said. “Our project is to design, procure funds and get the plaque. It has been approved by National (Navy League). “Our goal is $5,000, which covers the cost of the memorial plaque and the dedication ceremony,” he continued. The national Navy League meeting will be held in Honolulu in June and Murray’s council would like to do the dedication there. The group was just $300 shy of its goal. “We didn’t come here to ask you to support our proj-

Whidbey Island lays claim to some very solid ties to that aforementioned maritime heriVern Olsen tage, said Olsen. “North Whidbey hosts Naval Air Station Whidbey Island,” he said. “The Navy followed on the heels of sea captains, merchant marines and all of the island’s seafaring industries of yesteryear.” And speaking of sailors, one may well ask how the Shifty Sailors came up with their group’s name. “That’s a good question,” said Olsen, chuckling a little. He noted that in the beginning, they weren’t sure what to call themselves. “Some of the group referred to ourselves as ‘salty sailors,’ but the publicity deadline was fast approaching, and we needed to have some sort of name on the advertising posters. “I was working on songs for the first night’s gathering, and at the last minute, got a telephone call from the person in charge of publicity, who told me, ‘Okay,

KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND ect,” Murray said. “But I thought we should take advantage of the opportunity to tell you about it.” The Oak Harbor council donated $200 to the project. Another donation of $100 from another member brought the Bellingham group to its goal.
Intelligence briefing Intelligence Specialist 3rd Class Trent Barkus, from Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129, provided the intelligence briefing, which centered on Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the situation in Syria and those countries’ growing relationship with Russia and China. “Iran has fired a new Safir missile, which the U.S. believes can be used to fire ballistic missiles,” Barkus said. U.S. officials also believe Iran is close to enriching uranium, which could potentially be used to develop nuclear weapons. In the meantime, Russia and China seem to be strengthening their ties with Iran and Syria. Both countries vetoed a United Nations resolution calling for Syrian president Bashar Assad to step down.
we’re calling you the Shifty Sailors,’” he said. “And that’s how we are known to this day.” Even though their name was adopted at the last minute, group members share a love for music that has been years in the making. “We’ve got our own fraternal group right here,” Olsen said. “We don’t have a lot of turnover, because everyone is just so very committed, especially to some of the annual festivals such as the Penn Cove Water festival.” Olsen’s own nautical heritage traces back to the shores of another great sailing nation, Norway. “One of my grandfathers was a ship’s captain, the other a sailor, and later, a fisherman,” he said. “Even now, my cousins there are still making a living from the sea, thanks to the North Sea oil rigs.” Olsen is himself an Army veteran, and estimates that half or more of their members are veterans. “They may not have made the military their lifelong career, but we count members who are prior Navy, Coast Guard and Army, and maybe the other branches as well,” he said. “They bring all their experiences to the Shifty Sailors, and we are the richer for it.” Saturday song sessions at Shanty Fest, from 1 to 5 p.m. are free. The evening concert begins at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $20. Go to www.shiftysailors.net for information, or call Olsen at 678-5019.
Retired Navy Cmdr. Jeff Lauderdale, guest speaker for the meeting, gave a presentation on the Trident Fleet ballistic missile submarine program. “This is part of the Navy most people don’t see very much of,” said Lauderdale. He discussed the Ohio Class SSBN, nine of which are stationed at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. “You sometimes see them in the Sound,” he said. “The nuclear missile versions will have two escorts with them. What’s on board (the escorts) is classified, but they have teeth.” Lauderdale said submarines aren’t very maneuverable - the Ohio class subs are about 500 feet long and weigh 18,000 tons — but they are hard to detect. “They are virtually silent,” said Lauderdale. “When you finally do detect them, you’re almost on top of them.” The submarines carry a crew of about 150 sailors. They are capable of launching ballistic missiles at targets 4- to 7,000 miles away. The guided missile variant, or SSGN, submarines are capable of carrying 154 Tomahawk, or land-attack, missiles. “That’s more missiles than a whole battle group combined,” said Lauderdale. But the submarine fleet’s biggest job, said Lauderdale, is to act as a strategic deterrent. “The U.S. will not tolerate a nuclear strike,” he said, “and we need (other countries) to know it.” The next meeting of the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League will be Tuesday, March 6 at 11:30 a.m. at the NAS Whidbey Officers’ Club.
Disabled veterans fight the good fight They may be retired from active military service, but members of Disabled American Veterans chapter 47 never retire from their allegiance to those who fought for our country. Chapter 47 commander John Callahan opened the group’s Feb. 2 meeting, which was held at Sno-Isle Library. Treasurer Missy Vaughn gave the financial report. Callahan and adjutant Michelle McClain gave membership figures as well as legislative updates affecting veterans. Callahan noted in spite of the snow
4)*14 | FROM PAGE 1 General Oceanographic Research Vessel, or AGOR. “They’re exercising their option,” said Hollie Anthonysz, who coordinates projects for Dakota Creek. “We bid on the first vessel with an option for two. They had a certain amount of time to decide to exercise their option and they did.” All the plans and models that have been developed for the first AGOR vessel will now be used to build a second ship. When
in the middle of the January, riders to Seattle’s VA hospital still look to the DAV and its volunteer van drivers for transportation. “We saw 56 van riders for the month of January,” he said. “Even though much of Oak Harbor was snowed in for the better part of one week, people still have appointments at Seattle VA they’d like to keep, and it’s hard to reschedule appointments that may have taken you months
completed, the vessels will be 238-feet long and will be able to support a wide variety of ocean-based research. According to Anthonysz, construction on the first vessel is scheduled to begin in June and delivery to the Navy is expected to be in October, 2014. The second vessel will be finished within six months of the first, in April, 2015. The announcement is good news for Dakota Creek, which already employs about 250 people. “We are very excited,”

Anthonysz said. “It’s very good for the yard. We will have to ramp up (for construction), definitely when we have two boats going side by side.” All construction will be done at the company’s shipyard in Anacortes. When completed, the first vessel will go to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, Mass. The Navy has slated the second ship for Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California, San Diego.
Correction: Impact Aid was started in 1950 to assist local school districts that have lost property tax revenue due to the presence of taxexempt federal property, such as military bases.
Impact Aid count holds steady More than half the families in the Oak Harbor School District are military dependents, according to figures from the annual Impact Aid report released recently. Families of 52.8 percent of the students in the district depend upon Naval Air Station Whidbey Island for their support. That’s up about two-tenths of a percent from last year. The number of military dependents are higher at the district’s elementary schools, ranging from 53.5 percent at Broad View Elementary to nearly 75 percent at Olympic View Elementary. Middle schools ranged from about 49 percent to nearly 60 percent, while 43 percent of Oak Harbor High School’s students are military dependents.
VAQ-129 leader to speak Tuesday Cmdr. Jeff Craig, commanding officer of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 129, will be the featured speaker at the upcoming meeting of the Association of Naval Aviation, Whidbey Squadron. The meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday at the Officers’ Club on board Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. Craig will discuss electronic attack aircraft systems, Prowler and Growler training programs and maintenance training for ground crews.

Valentine’s Day: Don’t spend dollars, spend time!
T
hink outside the Valentine’s Day box for gifts that thoughtfully express the value of your sweetheart. No one wants you to go into debt (or buy on credit) for a gift that is more than you can afford. Begin with a handwritten (or typed in a fancy font) letter. Show your love for that special someone with words and sharing memories and the little things you love about them. It will impress your Valentine that you remember what first attracted them to you, the seemingly mundane things that they do for you which makes your life easier, and what you look forward to sharing with them in the future. If you want to wrap something, think of gifts you can enjoy together, like tickets to a play, arranging a sitter so you can enjoy a picnic in the park, or a book you can read together. Do be romantic, of course — no blenders! (Unless your Valentine is like me and receiving a new one in a box is on their wish list.) Consider giving a tree, seeds, garden or patio furniture or a nice planter to enjoy for the spring and summer to come. If you need more inspiration, think of the gifts most appreciated and utilized from past holidays. Tune into the daily routine of your Valentine and choose small luxuries or thoughtful deeds you can do. Gifts of service are long-remembered. Tackle a few of the “honey-do’s” or “to-do’s” your Valentine has. Nothing says romance like more free time and the good feelings generated by a lighter chore list. Other great gift ideas include the surprise of music CDs awaiting them in their car, a letter mailed to their home from you, a photo collage in a frame or useful item such as a coffee mug, or a “coupon book” you construct full of certificates for events, tasks, and treats you know they’d love. Take your sweetheart on a Valentine tour, treating them to goodies, frugal (or window) shopping of their choice, and anywhere else the two of you can enjoy some time together. Valentines for the kids: Create a gift that can be treasured for days and years to come. A letter from you in the form of a Valentine will brighten your child’s day. These notes of love and your inclusion of what you love about them most at this stage in their life will be keepsakes. Gifts which will encourage you to spend time with them are the best. Card games, building kits, crafts and puzzles give all of you something to look forward to. Kids love “coupon books” from Mom and Dad — what a great way to plan (and save up) for memorymaking days to come. Valentine’s Day activities with the kids can include a scavenger hunt for hearts, candy or small gifts. However you spend your Valentine’s Day, be sure to spread extra random acts of kindness around. Doing so warms your heart on a winter day. Amy Hannold is a money-saving mentor, coordinator of the North Whidbey Coupon Club, the proud wife of a retired Navy Chief and a busy mom. Her columns appear the second Friday of each month. Send your questions to Hannold via email at ahannold@comcast.net.

#09&3 | FROM PAGE 1 District, which is part of Region 12. Region 12 includes Alaska, Washington, Idaho and Oregon. USA Boxing is amateur, or Olympic-style boxing. “The ultimate goal (of USA Boxing) is to qualify for the Olympics,� said Sturdevant. “It’s geared toward juniors, or boxers from eight to 30 years old.� The basic rules are fairly simple: Men’s bouts consists of three, three-minute rounds. Judges award points based on legal blows. The boxer with the highest number of scoring blows at the end of a typical bout is the winner. In the upcoming championship in Colorado Springs, Sturdevant said Burgess will participate in what is called a box-off, but he can only box one bout a day. “If he works his way through and wins, he is the U.S. champion and qualifies for the Olympic box-off,� Sturdevant said.
Winning strategy While boxing is obviously a physical sport, Burgess said the mental aspect is just as important to him. “It’s a real mental game,� he said. “It’s a true test of your integrity and your will to strive for something. That’s why I continue to train, to build on my knowledge and skills.� One of the things Burgess has brought to the local boxing club is a solid training background. According to Sturdevant, Burgess has trained at some of the best boxing gyms in the country. That experience is
something Burgess is happy to pass along to other boxers. “I saw an opportunity to be a fighter and to give what I have back to others,� Burgess said. “I’m always willing to share what I know.� And so he does, sharing tips, tricks and strategies with the younger boxers in the club. The three-minute rounds go quickly, but through them all, Burgess encourages not only the boxer in the ring but those waiting to spar with him, pausing between rounds to explain some of his strategies over the ropes. And strategy is important for Burgess, especially since he fights in the heavyweight division. At 5-feet, 9-inches tall and 185 pounds, he is smaller than a lot of the boxers in his division. “I am one of the shortest heavyweights I know,� Burgess said. “But my size has become my advantage, because I had to learn to think about what I was doing.� In Burgess’ mental game, he’s playing chess, while a lot of his opponents are just playing checkers. He can anticipate a checkers move, countering with a chess move and outsmarting his opponent. And he feels his height gives him another advantage. “I like fighting bigger guys,� he said with a smile. “They’re slower and they fall harder, too.� For now, Burgess said he applies all his free time to boxing, watching fights and training hard as he reaches for his Olympic dream. “It’s more than a hobby, it’s a way of life,� he said.

months to get an appointment, had to miss it due to no driver availability, and consequently, no transportation to Seattle VA,� said Monahan. He suggested in the event no driver is available, they advise veterans to go to the Mount Vernon train
station to try to catch a seat on the Bellingham or Mount Vernon vans. As always, those interested in helping provide this much-appreciated service should call 257-4801. Nominations for officers will be taken at the next meeting, set for March 1.
PUBLIC NOTICE THE U.S. NAVY ANNOUNCES A DECISION TO PERFORM A TIME-CRITICAL REMOVAL ACTION (TCRA) AT THE NAVAL AIR STATION WHIDBEY ISLAND, AREA 1 BEACH LANDFILL, OAK HARBOR, WASHINGTON.
WN
Pursuant to Section 121(c) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), the U.S. Navy (Navy) conducts annual Land Use Control (LUC) inspections at all CERCLA Operable Units. The seawall at Operable Unit 5, Area 1 Beach landfill is experiencing significant erosion. Surveys have shown that the rate of erosion is significant enough to warrant a TCRA. Area 1 Beach Landfill is located on Ault Field at the intersection at Saratoga and Princeton streets.
TP
The TCRA will be undertaken to eliminate the potential of landfill debris eroding into the Puget Sound. This short-term protection action will stabilize the bluff to prevent further erosion from occurring until permanent seawall repair design and construction can be implemented later this year.
RO
The Navy has prepared an Action Memorandum describing the TCRA which supports the installation of a temporary seawall stabilization system through the remaining winter months and includes the addition of supplemental riprap for those severely eroded sections of the Area 1 Beach Landfill. The Phase I -TCRA project is scheduled to commence in January 2012 through February 15, 2012.
OF
The Action Memorandum can be viewed at: https://portal.navfac.navy.mil/portal/ page/portal/NAVFAC/NAVFAC_WW_PP/NAVFAC_EFANW_PP For additional information or to provide comments, please contact Public Affairs Officer Naval Facilities Engineering Command Northwest 1101 Tautog Circle, Silverdale, WA 98315 Tel: (360) 396-6387 Fax: (360) 396-0855
4.*-&: | FROM PAGE 4 to the eighth floor. When the doors parted, the boys saw a lighthouse and a mural of fish on the walls. This was not the “hospital� they had imagined. Inside the double swinging doors and down the hallway past the patient rooms was an atrium filled toys, a foosball table, books, sofas and tables with umbrellas bathed in natural sunlight from the glass ceiling. Amid such a childfriendly environment, my boys eased back into kid mode. Lindell rode on a stuffed dinosaur. Ford and Owen checked out the foosball table. There was laughter and noise. Then a boy shuffled past in a hospital gown. He was close in age to my older boys and like them in almost all respects. Except he was carrying a bag for his catheter. Now the boys remembered. They made crafts with the boy in the family resource room. Then he offered to help them pass out gifts to the other patients. After the hospital, it was time to have a meal with our dinner guest. While the boys were away from the table, Jenifer asked if she could share her cancer story with them. I wasn’t sure how much the boys would understand. But when Jenifer showed them pictures of herself being wheeled into surgery, they ‘got it.’ The table was quiet for a couple minutes. She pulled up another picture, this one of her bald head and her naturally bald husband wearing a wig meant for her. The boys looked at me as if for permission to laugh. Jenifer beat them to it. When she laughed, they did, too. It’s hard to know how much the boys absorbed from the day, but they’ve been unusually quiet ever since. Did I show them too much? Did any of it make sense? I’ll probably never know. Yet, as we left the cafe that night, Jenifer gave each of the boys a gift. It was a stuffed bear. My older boys are past the age of stuffed animals, so I worried they might make a face. I held my breath. Then Owen read the card tied to the bear’s neck. All the proceeds from the stuffed animal go to Cancer Care of Maine. No one said a word. The boys stared at their bears. And my heart was glad because although everyone got a gift, I saw what the boys had come to know: It wasn’t about them.
