VFW Ladies Auxiliary holds Great Oak Harbor Giveaway Day Larsen says budget
woes shouldn’t affect NAS Whidbey By K ATHY REED
Whidbey Crosswind
Washington Congressman Rick Larsen (D - Arlington) doesn’t have any specific concerns that possible forced cuts in future defense spending would dramatically impact Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. “The Navy has been very clear to me that NAS Whidbey is a major asset in terms of naval air assets and nothing would ever change that,” he said. Larsen’s comment came after a forum Aug. 31 at the American Legion in Oak Harbor. The congressman was in town on the last of a four-stop tour across the second district, talking to veterans about issues ranging from

Take what you need

t’s not every day Oak Harbor residents can shop for free. Well, actually, the opportunity comes around twice a year during the free clothing swap sponsored by the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars. The second great Oak Harbor Giveaway Day of the year will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 17, at the VFW Post on Goldie Road in Oak Harbor. Clean, usable items can be
dropped off in advance of the giveaway or on the day of the event; people are then welcome to “shop” for items they need — all at no cost. “If people bring in six items and take home 60, that’s great,” said Amy Hannold, giveaway coordinator and Ladies Auxiliary member. “This event is all about what our community puts into it and our community has been very generous so far.” Clothing of all sizes will be available, from infant to adult and will be organized by gender. Volunteers will take donations at the door the day of the giveaway, and items will immediately be sorted and put out on the floor. People can take as many ‘new to them’ items as they like but no money will change hands. People are invited to shop for items whether they’ve donated or not. The main focus of the event is clothing, but Hannold said
household items are also available. Most importantly, all items should be in good condition. “We want our event to represent the best of what people want to share with others,” she said. “So it should be clean and ready to go.” Hannold said auxiliary members have already taken in a lot of donations. Since the event is in its fourth year and on a predictable schedule, with giveaways in March and September, people in the community have come to anticipate it. And with the steady transition of military personnel in and out of the area, Hannold said they get a lot of items from people who are moving. “I’ve already had people calling, and we’ve started taking donations earlier,” said Hannold. “It seems like we have a

Navy League back By K ATHY REED

Whidbey Crosswind
fter a brief summer stand down, the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League is back in business and as busy as ever. The September meeting was held Tuesday at the Officers’ Club on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, with nearly 100 members attending. Visitors included Island County commissioners Kelly Emerson and Angie Homola.
Intelligence briefing The intelligence briefing was provided by Information Specialist Seaman Timothy Stinson, who discussed the Aug. 20 election of a new prime minister of Japan, Yoshihiko Noda; the current situation in Libya; the Chinese confrontation with an Indian Navy vessel; and an update on the U.S. withdrawal of troops from Iraq. According to Stinson, the actions by the Chinese on July 22, when one of its warships stopped the INS Airawat off the coast of Vietnam, raised some eyebrows. “This is the first time China has confronted a country other than the United States or one of ISSN Timothy the countries touching Stinson the South China Sea,” Stinson said, adding that China claims the entire South China Sea, whereas most nations would regard the area of the confrontation as international waters. Stinson said in terms of the drawdown of American troops in Iraq, the current deadline for withdrawal still stands. Patrol and Reconnaissance mission Guest speaker for the luncheon Tuesday was CAPT. John Radka, Chief Staff Officer of Patrol and Reconnaissance Wing 10. Due to the content of his address, we are waiting for final approval before publishing that portion of the story.
Military Appreciation Picnic The Navy League’s annual military appreciation picnic will be held Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. by the windmill at Windjammer Park in downtown Oak Harbor. “This is a great event and a good way to get to know your neighbors,” said Navy League co-president and picnic organizer Beth Munns. The menu will feature pulled pork sandwiches, hotdogs, coleslaw, chips, beverages and dessert. Live music will be provided by El Colonel Blues and Paid ‘N Full, plus there will be activities for children, lawn games and much more. Everyone is invited to attend, and those interested in helping are most welcome. “Please come and help, whether it’s for 30 minutes or the whole time,” said Munns. The picnic is sponsored by the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League, NAS Whidbey Island’s Morale, Welfare and Recreation, the Oak Harbor Chamber of Commerce, the City of Oak Harbor and members of the city’s business community.
VAQ-139 returns to Nas Whidbey Island Three major worldwide operations kept the Electronic Attack Squadron 139 (VAQ-139) “Cougars” in the forefront of news since their departure in February 2011. After seven months aboard USS Ronald Reagan (CVN76), the EA-6B Prowler squadron of about 200 personnel is returning to NAS Whidbey Island this week. In March, when the devastating tsunami hit Japan after a 9.0 earthquake off the Japanese coast, the aircraft carrier responded as part of Operation Tomodachi. VAQ-139 sailors created watch schedules that brought shipments of humanitarian aid from the USS Reagan to relief sites along Japan’s devastated coast. The squadron was constantly unloading helicopters and C-2 aircraft for the moving of supplies to support the humanitarian relief effort. Crews on the flight deck and hangar bay worked tirelessly to unload new cargo, organize, stage and load new shipments of food, water and medical supplies. Squadron aircrew maintained a constant watch in the Carrier Intelligence Center, coordinating helicopter deliveries of food, water and medical equipment.
The carrier’s efforts were recognized by Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus, U.S. Ambassador to Japan John V. Roos and many Japanese diplomats. VAQ-139 also supported Operations New Dawn and Enduring Freedom, flying 125 and 430 combat hours, respectively. Squadron Electronic Countermeasures Officers joined with Marine Tactical Electronic Attack Squadron 4 in Afghanistan to fly combat missions as both squadrons operate the Improved Capability III (ICAP) Block 4 in the EA-6B. Surprisingly, there was time for the Cougars to relax with liberty port visits to Sasebo, Japan; Phuket, Thailand; Manama, Bahrain; Hong Kong, China; Naval Base Marianas, Guam; and Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. This was VAQ-139’s last deployment in the EA-6B ICAP III as they will start transition to the EA-18G Growler with VAQ-129, Fleet Replacement Squadron, shortly. Returning with the squadron are 18 members of the Sea Operational Detachment from Fleet Readiness Center Northwest that provide technical support to keep the jets in top condition. Look for details of the Cougars’ homecoming in next week’s Whidbey Crosswind.
VP-40 Works with Royal Thai Navy By Lt. K ARL MURRAY
VP-40 Public Affairs
UTAPHAO, Thailand – Combat Aircrew (CAC) 5 and 10 maintainers returned from Thailand on Aug. 10 after a 10-day exercise. Thailand Sea Surveillance Survey (SEASURVEX) 2011 was designed to foster international relations between the Royal Thai Navy and U.S. Navy. On August 2, CAC 5 and Royal Thai Navy 102nd Squadron aircrew joined together at a symposium to discuss details of the event to be flown two days later. The two aircrews sorted out specifics, including coordinates of the operating area, frequencies for safety of flight, and altitude de-confliction. Lt. j.g. Jon Torbett presented a series of briefs focused on contact identification techniques, crew fatigue recognition and prevention, and anti-piracy operations. He also led a discussion on operational risk management, a process that the U.S. Navy incorporates into many missionrelated decisions. On Aug. 3, Patrol Squadron (VP) 40 maintainers were given a tour of the 102nd Squadron maintenance spaces.
“Seeing their electronics shop was a trip back in time,” said Aviation Technician First Class Hochstatter. “We hope that our maintenance procedures will help influence sound practices and that their programs will continue to improve.” The morning of Aug. 4 began with a joint Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flight off the coast of Thailand. CAC 5 used its radar and worked cooperatively with the Royal Thai Navy P-3A to visually identify surface contacts. After 90 minutes, the two aircraft conducted an altitude swap and the Thai P-3 assumed on-scene command. Using the Automated Identification System, the Thai P-3 identified surface contacts and CAC 5 visually confirmed the contacts. The exercise concluded with the Thai and U.S. aircrews conducting a simulated weapons training. “Working with friendly nations is always a pleasure, especially on a tactical level,” said Lt. Danny Rees. Lt. Cmdr. Jim Imlah, detachment officer-in-charge, presented the commanding officer of 102nd Squadron with a plaque in appreciation of the hospitality and friendship. Following the exercise, VP-40 aircrew and maintainers

Disabled American Veterans meet By MELANIE HAMMONS
Whidbey Crosswind
At the September meeting of Disabled American Veterans, group members focused on what they do best: Looking out for the interests of their fellow disabled veterans. Local chapter president John Callahan called the Sept. 1 meeting at Whidbey Coffee to order at 7 p.m., and read some statistics for the past month. “We answered telephone inquiries, helped 68 clients complete paperwork, and gave 90 people rides in our van to the VA medical center,” said Callahan. Allen Barney updated members on a public forum held by U.S. Representative Rick Larsen at the American Legion in Oak Harbor. “A lot of the questions from those in attendance at the forum dealt with budget issues,” he said. Closer to home, one of the ongoing projects of the local DAV chapter has been to make the chapter service officers guide more user-friendly, said Callahan. In response to that discussion, Barney said he felt the need to assess how well DAV is doing its job was even more important. “I’ve observed that many CSO’s need to realize that the DAV ought to be the first line of defense for the disabled veteran,” he said. “We shouldn’t be directing them to other agencies, we need to step up and take the responsibility that rests with us. “Maybe it’s just a matter of holding more CSO training, so that officers know how to accurately, and directly, answer calls for help,” he continued. Other members agreed, and some mentioned the satisfaction they hold in knowing that they’ve assisted veterans and their families who had no place left to turn. The DAV assists clients with paperwork and with rides to medical appointments. It also tries to maintain a public profile that encourages veterans to seek them out, while soliciting qualified volunteers. Some of the closing business of the evening addressed the group’s plan to sponsor a table at a retirement seminar slated for Sept. 17 at the Nor’wester on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. The October meeting of the DAV will take place the first Thursday of the month at the Oak Harbor Library.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) celebrated its 169th anniversary Aug. 31. NAVFAC was established on this date in 1842 as the Bureau of Navy Yards and Docks (BuDocks) and formally changed its name to NAVFAC in May 1966. “Beginning in 1961, NAVFAC has had a presence in the Pacific Northwest,” said Capt. Pat Rios, commanding officer NAVFAC Northwest. “Back then we were the Northwest-Alaskan Division Bureau of Yards and Docks. Our goal then was the same as our goal now, to provide increasingly efficient, innovative and responsive solutions to our supported commanders facility needs. “We are here to support the fleet, fighter and family,” Rios continued. “Our NAVFAC team holds true to the Navy core values of honor, courage and commitment. Happy birthday NAVFAC and here’s to another 169 years.” NAVFAC is the Systems Command that delivers and maintains quality, sustainable facilities, acquires and manages capabilities for the Navy’s expeditionary combat forces, provides contingency engineering response and enables energy security and environmental stewardship.

OUR VIEWS
Ten years later There are moments in our lives that are like a snapshot — memories perfectly preserved in our mind’s eye years later, even the tiniest details still intact. Sometimes those snapshots are happy, like the birth of a child or a wedding day, for instance. Pictures ingrained in your memory that bring a smile to your face. But our brains take mental snapshots of more than the happy times. We document those moments that make the most impact. Growing up I can remember adults and older siblings around me being able to recall exactly what they were doing when KATHY they heard President Kennedy had been shot. REED My first snapshot moment of significance was the day Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. I recall walking along our gravel road in Minnesota, looking up at the moon visible in the clear blue sky, thinking how truly amazing it was there were people on the lunar surface at that very moment. I was too young to remember much more than my parents’ excitement as they watched the broadcast, but I’ll never forget the warmth of the sun or the blue of the sky or my sense of awe. Neither will I forget watching the events of 9/11 unfold before my eyes ten years ago. Who can forget the stunned disbelief, the feeling of utter helplessness as our country came under attack? It is a snapshot moment I wish was just a bad dream. I will take time to remember this weekend, as will most of us. For anyone interested in attending, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, North Whidbey and Oak Harbor fire departments will hold a memorial service Sunday at 1 p.m. at Windjammer Park in Oak Harbor. Capt. Jay Johnston, commanding officer of NAS Whidbey, will be one of the speakers. Capt. Johnston was at the Pentagon when it was attacked ten years ago. I’m sure those are mental snapshots he would rather do without. -Kathy Reed, editor

Night without power brings appreciation Hurricane Irene was, relatively, nothing more than a big storm when it came through Maine. But it did bring back memories of our family’s experiences with Ivan, Dennis and Katrina: the quiet, deserted streets; the sound of generators at night; the darkness; the worry. We lived without power for more than a week after those hurricanes. (New definition of Hell: August in Florida without air-conditioning.) By 10 p.m. Sunday night, however, Irene still had not taken our electricity. I was baking cookies and mentioning that the day had felt like a long snow day, with the notable absence of the roof rake and snowblower. Which doesn’t mean the possibility of losing power wasn’t on our mind. The lights occasionally

GIVEAWAY| FROM PAGE 1 greater number of people moving in and out.” “It’s always a little bit like Christmas,” said Ladies Auxiliary president Joanne McDaniel, as she surveyed a room full of items to be sorted last week at the VFW. “Two years ago a storage company donated a whole bunch of items.” “A lot is even new stuff people either didn’t use or didn’t wear,” said Hannold. “It’s pretty exciting to see what we’ve got already. It’s a good mix of clothing and household items.” In addition to items for the swap, members of the Ladies Auxiliary are also looking for volunteers. “We always need lots of help during the event,” Hannold said. “We need greeters, sorters, loaders, unloaders and people to help with the cleaning up after it’s all over.” Because shopping for clothes isn’t always that exciting for some of the younger crowd, Hannold said children are encouraged to bring a book to swap.
“It gets them in the spirit of bringing something to share and taking something new home,” she said. Hannold, whose husband of eight years is a retired Navy chief, said the giveaway days are her two favorite service days of the year. She said the reward for the women of the Ladies Auxiliary and the volunteers is being able to feel like they’ve helped others in the community who may be having a tough time. She shared an example from the last giveaway in March, when she watched a young woman spot a stroller from across the room. When she made her way over to Hannold and asked who the stroller belonged to, Hannold told her it was for her. Hannold said the look on the young woman’s face was priceless. “That’s why we do this,” she said. “I can hardly wait.”

W.D. Mayotte asks a question about disability payments for veterans with PTSD during a forum with Rep. Rick Larsen . KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND
LARSEN | FROM PAGE 1 jobs to homelessness, veterans benefits to the economy and the drawdown of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Approximately 40 people attended, in addition to the congressman’s staff members and representatives of the Veterans Administration and local agencies. Before opening the discussion to questions, Larsen briefed the group on a project he’s been assigned to work on for the House Armed Services Committee which
is designed to connect small businesses, including those owned by veterans, to available contracting opportunities at the Pentagon. He also talked about the Veteran Employment Transition Act, House Bill HR865, which would provide an extension of the work opportunity tax credit to employers who hire combat veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. “Although the unemployment rate nationally is about 9.1 percent, the unemployment rate for Afghanistan and Iraqi war veterans is at least 13 percent,” Larsen said. “So the VET Act finds incentives for employers to hire combat veterans.” Lisa Clark, the director of the Island County Service Center of the Opportunity Council, addressed the growing issue of homelessness among veterans and announced that Island County is
that stuff. My question is, can the VA force someone to come in for mental psychiatric assistance instead of just sending them a check?” In the end there was no answer for Mayotte’s question because the appropriate VA staff member was not there. Miller, however, said about 90 percent of veterans who receive disability for PTSD receive regular counseling and therapy. Other concerns among those who attended Wednesday included questions on cost of living adjustments to Social Security, whether contractors would be used to fill any gaps left by the drawdown of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, Larsen’s view of baseline budgeting and a flat tax rate and whether there is a mechanism in place to weed out redundant government programs. The short answer to each of those questions was there is a COLA ahead due to an increase in the inflation rate; the U.S. will not drawdown the military in Iraq and Afghanistan and then pay contractors to go in; baseline budgeting is unlikely and a flat tax rate would eliminate deductions and exemptions people wouldn’t be willing to give up; and the Government Accountability Office conducts audits on various departments when requested to do so by Congress. Larsen encouraged those attending to keep asking questions. “You might be here next year and say ‘I’m going to ask that question again,’ and you should,” he said. “Members of Congress all over the country need to know what you all think, whether you’re a veteran, a retiree or the spouse of a veteran.”
among five counties recently awarded a grant through Housing and Urban Development for supportive services for veteran families. “There are a lot of young families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness because of their transition out of military service,” Clark said. “This will help us stabilize them.” Clark said Island County should receive at least $60,000, which includes $20,000 in matching funds from the Opportunity Council. One lively exchange occurred when W.D. Mayotte asked whether there was a way to ensure veterans receiving disability payments related to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder could be forced to undergo treatment. His question wasn’t immediately clear. “About 85 to 95 percent of those who go into the military come home and reintegrate successfully back into civilian life with no issues,” said Raymond Miller, a clinical therapist at VA Puget Sound. “Those who suffer from PTSD, if you knew what they had to go through to get that $3,000 check; if you knew about the nightmares, if you knew about the guilt of being the only survivor in your unit, if you knew about having to kill young children because you were in a combat situation ... it haunts you for life. It don’t go away. “Those veterans earned that money by protecting our rights and our privileges,” Miller continued. “$3,000 a month is not a lot of money to live off of and if you think that’s a gift, it’s not a gift, they earned it.” “You’re not hearing my question,” said Mayotte. “I did 22 years. I did four years of combat in country. I went through all L/C

“He transferred here, knew no-one, and was feeling pretty homesick,” said Rostov. “But he does know how to play the bassoon. Now he uses music to fill his spare time. He’s even volunteered to help mentor some kids who may show an interest in playing the bassoon themselves.”
Getting physical For some local participants, their love of music takes them way beyond aesthetics. They like to get downright physical in their sessions, like the drumline group that meets on Saturday afternoons. Rostov said in some areas of the country, marching band is an activity that demands a high degree of skill and precision, something local drumline members at Click Music are keen on developing. Monti Johnson Jr., of Oak Harbor, is one of these. “I like to drum,” said Johnson, the 11-year-old son of former Navy Personnel Specialist Martha Richardson. “I really want to continue with this.” Richardson said her son “has had sticks in his hands creating rhythm since he was a toddler.” He writes his own music, and has learned self-discipline as well as music appreciation, she said. “I mainly desire that he not take his gifts for granted, and that he use them to encourage others,” Richardson said. Scott Small, of Langley, is teaching and mentoring the drumline group at Click, which just started this summer. Having taught drumming for over 30 years, Small said he left a high-tech job in Bellevue to focus on his love of music and mentoring kids. In addition to teaching in Oak Harbor, he also mentors a similar group at South Whidbey High School. Although the numbers in drumline are small right now, that could change, said Small. “Right now, we only have one student who’s had actual marching band experience,” he said. “But the performance and competitive aspects of drumline, its synchronization, are a big draw for many kids.” There’s no telling where the local drumline group could end up, said Small, as the state of the art of rudimentary drumming has changed drastically in the past 20 years. And while he has the drumming instruction side covered for now, he noted the future could well accommodate someone who desires to provide the marching drill aspect, or even something totally different. “I’ve allowed myself to wonder if it might be possible to have a separate drumline just for Navy active duty folks,” said Small. “Or even a small, local Navy jazz band? Anything is possible.”
izes in that blend of reggae and jazz that became popular dance music in 1960’s Jamaica. Fast forward to the year 2011, and you will hear the updated sounds of Skautomatic Weapons, a ska group at Click which recently put out its first CD, “Skautomatic Weapons on Target.” Teens and college-aged students comprised the group, said Rostov, and since then, many of the group have graduated. One jam session participant, Kevin Silveira, son of retired Navy Master Chief Tony Silveira, led a recent ska practice at Click. “We’re playing in an assembly tomorrow at Oak Harbor High School,” said Silveira. Five other members, playing instruments ranging from saxophone to trumpet to guitar, were energetically performing “Popular Demand,” written by Silveira. The young musicians have a range of aspirations as well: Some plan to continue their music studies in college, one loves it as a hobby, and one even said she could see herself as a street performer one day. Whatever type of music you are into, one thing is certain: Music jam sessions impart much more than merely music appreciation and skill, said Rostov. “For example, if you’re in a group, how do you keep the group going, when people leave for graduation, or deployments?” she said. “How do you handle disagreements among members? These are life’s lessons being learned here.”

he Navy is into music in a big way and it’s not limited to the touring Navy band that plays a Christmas concert in Oak Harbor each December. According to Click Music owner Avi Rostov, for many local sailors, music is what bridges the cultural divide. Take the bluegrass group that meets at Click Music the first Saturday of the month. You’ll hear spirited fiddlers, banjo players and more, belting out renditions of “Will the Circle be Unbroken?” and “Wildwood Flower,” among others. “Some of these musicians have a connection to the South, or at least to that region of America where bluegrass is very popular,” said Rostov. “If they’re transplants to Oak Harbor via the Navy, for example, there’s a longing for that familiar culture that’s now many miles away,” she continued. “Music is one of the best ways to reconnect with your culture.” Former Navy airman Terry Hough plays the mandolin in the bluegrass group. Although he only started playing three years ago, he says it’s enriched his life greatly. “It’s given me common ground with other people, beyond just the love of the music,” said Hough. “I’ve found bluegrass to be a very comfortable music style.” In fact, Hough says he enjoys it so much he recently sold a pickup truck and trailer to cover the cost of a mandolin that he really wanted. Another devoted bluegrass group member is retired Senior Chief Petty Officer and fiddle player Jim Johnston. Johnston says a friend of his in Port Orchard suggested he learn to play. “I took a fiddle home and found it to be an enjoyable social experience,” he said. That was 30 years ago. Now, not only does Johnston find time to jam with the bluegrass group at Click, he’s also an active member of the Old-Time Fiddlers’ Association. According to Johnston, their group covers four counties, and performs at nursing homes and other venues. Many of the bluegrass group participants at Click Music played an August event in Freeland to benefit WISH (Whidbey Island Share-A-Home). That same spirit of outreach permeates some of the other informal music practice sessions. In June, the area’s largest cancer fundraiser, Relay for Life, called on musicians at Click Music to provide the entertainment. “The Navy provided the sound stage and amplifier, and asked us to provide the musical talent for the event,” said Rostov. “That’s one of the cool things about music,” she said. “It has a way of drawing people together, and encouraging communities to take care of their own.” The benefits from that connection can end up touching many lives, said Rostov. She cites the case of one sailor at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

SMILEY | FROM PAGE 4 a few years ago, I helped our family make the most of it by suggesting that we play “Two Truths and a Lie” by candlelight. Still, at 34 years old, I continue to fall asleep with a nightlight. So I had my eye on the chandelier overhead, too, even as I told our youngest son, Lindell, 4, that “losing power is like sitting around with your eyes closed.” Total bologna. Losing power is like trying to get a bug out of your eye and putting your activities on an indefinite pause. It’s walking into the bathroom and, out of habit, flipping on the light switch, even though you have a flashlight in your hand and you know the lights won’t work. (What’s up with that?) It’s eating cold cereal and reaching into the fridge super fast so that you don’t let cool air escape. It’s searching for flashlights and then realizing your children have used up all the batteries during
light saber duels. I did not want to lose power. Then Lindell started crying. Lindell: “What happens if we lose power?” Me (eyeing light fixture): “Then Mommy can’t make any more cookies. That is all.” Lindell: “Who will fix the expricity?” Me: “Electricity?” Lindell: “Yes, the expricity.” Me: “Men and women from the power company will come during the night and fix the lines, and then we will have lights again.” Lindell accepted this last reassurance, and about an hour later, he fell asleep. That’s when the power went out. Dustin found some flickering, batteryoperated pumpkin lights and set them on the dresser. I rubbed my eyes as they adjusted to the new conditions. Then I lay in my bed, staring in the direction of the

ceiling and hoped that the recorded message from the power company - the one saying to expect days-long power outages was wrong. When I went to the bathroom, I flipped the switch and cursed myself. Eventually I fell asleep. The next morning, the lights were on. Me: The lights went out last night, Lindell, and you didn’t even know it. Lindell (eyes wide): Did the invisible men come in the middle of the night to fix it? Did they come in our house while we were sleeping? I realized Lindell thought the power company was something like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. And I can see how that might be a little scary to a 4-year old. I took him outside and showed him the cables stretching across the telephone poles and to our house. I told him that brave men and women- real ones, not invisible ones - get in special cranes on trucks and fix the lines so that we can have

light. I didn’t know if Lindell was disappointed or relieved. Probably a little of both. But isn’t that the way with most of modern-day’s “expected” utilities? We don’t think about electricity until we lose it. We don’t think about men and women who work on the lines until we need them. We complain about the lights being out, then we forget to marvel at how quickly they return. While we are waking up and starting our day, the people who brought us restored light are crawling into bed after a night’s hard work. Much like the military, it’s a service that goes unnoticed and under-appreciated until we need it. Today, Lindell and I are both grateful and amazed.
