Oak Harbor to honor Whidbey vets

Water, water everywhere

A Veterans Day ceremony to honor those who have served and those who are currently serving in the armed forces of the United States will be held Friday, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. at the Oak Harbor High School Performing Arts Center (Student Union).

Veterans Day is celebrated on the same date as the former Armistice Day, inaugurated to commemorate the end of World War I, Nov. 11, 1918 – the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year.

This marks the seventh year of this community-wide event, which is sponsored by the Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League

A

n Oak Harbor native was among the U.S. Coast Guard crew members of the USCG Cutter Walnut who helped deliver muchneeded water to the island nation of Tokelau last month.

Lt. j.g. Michael Amersbach, a 2003 graduate of Oak Harbor High School, is part of the crew of the Walnut, a 225-foot

buoy tender home-ported in Honolulu.

(Whidbey Crosswind was unable to reach Amersbach for comment.)

Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand in the South Pacific, consists of three coral atolls. A months-long drought in the area left Tokelau’s 1,500 residents with only enough drinking water to last a week in early October.

A joint humanitarian effort between the U.S. Coast Guard and the New Zealand ministry of foreign affairs was launched to supply Tokelau’s residents with fresh water.

“This is a very real humanitarian need here,” U.S. Ambassador David Huebner said at the time. “We are talking about approximately 1,500 people who could be out of fresh water within a week so we really needed to act very quickly.”

“A Hercules C-130 aircraft from

Ohakea, New Zealand will transport several water containers and a seven-person needs assessment team to American Samoa and rendezvous with the Walnut,” said Capt. Eric Brown, a response chief for the 14th Coast Guard District. “The Coast Guard is in a unique position to assist New Zealand with this humanitarian mission because we have a capable asset that is available to respond.”

Tokelau has no usable airfield, making an air mission impossible. The Walnut was loaded with about 36,000 gallons of drinking water and rendezvoused with New Zealand’s seven-member assessment team in American Samoa. After a 358mile, 30-hour transit the Walnut arrived in Tokelau on Oct. 7, six days after being

Navy League: Oak Harbor turns heads at national level

By K ATHY REED Whidbey Crosswind

T

he Oak Harbor Area Council of the Navy League can celebrate another strong showing at the national Navy League convention in Chattanooga, Tenn., last week.

Results were presented to members Tuesday at the monthly meeting of the Navy League, held at the Officers’ Club on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

Oak Harbor Navy League co-presidents, Dick Devlin and Beth Munns, accepted awards for Meritorious Council - medium size, a retention award and the Donald M. Mackie Newsletter Excellence Award for medium council.

“This is the fourth year in a row we have won the Meritorious Council award and it’s due to your hard work and dedication,” Devlin told members Tuesday. “And only 15 councils in the United States receive this certificate of retention, for maintaining membership of 80 percent and above.”

In addition to being presented with the awards, Devlin and Munns were both elected to a one year term as national directors.

In summarizing for group members, Devlin said there were three big issues at the national convention.

“First is the US Marine Corps and Navy moving in a direction that has the Marines leaving land and going back to becoming the maritime force they were designed to be,” he said.

Two other topics of interest at the convention included the issue of cyberspace and the Committee of 12.

“This committee of 12 is working on hammering out budget cuts before January, or there could be across-theboard cuts that could deeply impact the military,” said Devlin. “There are no parameters on where those cuts would be.”

Intelligence Briefing This month’s Navy League intelligence briefing was presented by Cryptologic Technician (Electronic Warfare) Second Class James Henry, with Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 142, who took the opportunity to give a briefing on the Navy’s aircraft carriers.

The first take off by Eugene Ely in 1910 from a makeshift platform over the bow of the cruiser USS Birmingham to his first landing approximately two

KATHY REED/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND months later in Jan., 1911 on a platform on the USS Pennsylvania, led the way for the Naval Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1920. The act provided funds to convert the USS Jupiter into a ship designed for launching and recovering airplanes at sea. Renamed the USS Langley (CV-1), the Navy’s first carrier was commissioned in 1922 and after two years as an experimental ship, reported for duty with the battle fleet in 1924.

The first ship actually designed and constructed as an aircraft carrier was the USS Ranger (CV-4), commissioned in 1943. Four more carriers were commissioned before the start of World War II — the USS Yorktown (CV-5) , USS Enterprise (CV-6), USS Wasp (CV-7) and the USS Hornet (CV-8). They all led the way to today’s “super carriers.”

“We call them “super carriers” because of their tremendous size,” Henry said. “Currently there are 11 “super carriers” in the US inventory — one Enterprise class and 10 Nimitz class carriers. There is a new class, the Gerald R. Ford class, of which there are three currently under construction.”

The new class of carriers features a flight deck that is four feet wider but is the same length as the Nimitz class carriers. However, the new carriers will be able to carry a full load of 100,000 tons and can operate with approximately 1,000 fewer crew members, including ship, air wing and staff.

“Another difference between the Nimitz class and the

Gerald R. Ford class is the aircraft launching system,” Henry said. “Nimitz class use a CATOBAR (Catapult Assisted Take Off Barrier Arrested Recovery) system, which basically means it uses steam to launch aircraft and a cable to catch them on landing.

“The Gerald R. Ford class will use EMALS (ElectroMagnetic Aircraft Launch System), where electric current is used to power magnets to propel the aircraft,” said Henry.

The USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) is expected to join the fleet in 2015.

Piracy on the high seas Merchant Marine shares his story with Navy League members

By K ATHY REED Whidbey Crosswind

It was Christmas night, 2003. Capt. Kelly Sweeney of the Merchant Marines was settling in for duty on what he expected to be a nice easy job.

Of the 20-member crew on board the Asphalt Commander that night, five were on duty, including Sweeney. There were also two armed guards patrolling the deck. The vessel was in lock-down mode and there was only one entrance onto the ship.

“I walked out of the control room and one of the armed guards ran past me with his gun raised,” described Sweeney. “Then the other armed guard came running after him. I knew right then we’d been boarded.”

Sweeney, from Greenbank, is a Master Mariner and was the guest speaker at Tuesday’s Navy League meeting at the Officers’ Club on Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

He has more than 30 years of experience and holds

the highest license issued by the U.S. Coast Guard to commercial mariners.

However, being boarded by pirates was a new experience.

“Merchant Marines are civilians,” he said. “I’m thinking to myself, ‘What do I do?’ ‘How do I protect myself?’ I grabbed a two-inch pipe wrench we use on sticky valves in one hand and a radio in the other.”

As Sweeney was inching his way down the starboard side to check out what was happening, he heard gun shots.

“I wasn’t sure who was shooting, so I hid in the shadows. After a while a light shone in my face — lucky for me it was one of

the guards,” Sweeney said.

One of the pirates was killed in the exchange, but because of the armed guards, the rest left the ship. But not before they’d been able to steal a lot of equipment, Sweeney said.

“That night I came face to face with the Merchant Marines of the modern world,” he said. “It changed my view forever.”

According to Sweeney, piracy and armed attacks (attacks that take place in territorial waters) are a world-wide problem. With approximately 80 percent of consumer goods moved via ships, merchant vessels are a prime target.

“Merchant ships are easy targets,” Sweeney said.

“They’re big, slow and

low to the water. We don’t have crews of 5,000 like you would have on a carrier. Our ships are built for economy, and as a result, they are easy targets.”

According to the International Chamber of Commerce, which tracks pirate attacks around the world, there were 445

attempted pirate attacks in 2010. Pirates were able to board vessels in about half of those cases. However, like the ICC, Sweeney believes that figure represents a fraction of actual pirate attacks, saying many don’t want to report them

PBY Foundation members get law lesson

By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

The PBY Memorial Foundation treated itself to a crash course in local law enforcement security procedures during its meeting last week at the CPO club. Guest speaker Lt. John Dyer, of the Oak Harbor police department, is not only a Marine Corps veteran, but as a graduate of the FBI academy, he brings a range of experiences to his job. “I’m sure our guest speaker is already well known to most of you,� said foundation president Win Stites. “And I can only hope that he doesn’t know you.�

Dyer prefaced his remarks with a “thank you� to the audience for their collective military service, “as well as helping keep the memory of naval aviation alive.�

The lieutenant began his talk by touching on the security concerns raised by the 9/11 terrorist attacks — the lessons learned and progress made. “The main issues that arose from those attacks 10 years ago were, one, our ability to respond to these incidents and two, the lack of cooperation between security agencies,� said Dyer. “We now conduct drills with those other agencies.

Those drills cover a range of situational threats that include terror attacks, bomb incidents, and natural disasters,� he said. “We have wonderful relationships with the fire department, sheriff ’s department, and NAS Whidbey base security. And being so close to Canada, we work regularly with border security and homeland security as well. “I can’t respond about some procedures, but I can tell you, we’ve come a long way,� continued Dyer. “When you can see a fireman and a police officer working together, you know we’ve come a long way.�

Dyer said their capabilities were now focused on how to prevent attacks before they happen, on a local as well as national level. “A lot of people out there are working very hard to keep us safe,� he said.

Dyer outlined some security protocol procedures for the group, especially one he called the active shooter protocol. “Once, we would have called for a lock down and SWAT team,� he said. “Now, the plan is for the first three officers on the scene to go straight to where the danger is and try to neutralize it.

Audience members directed questions to Dyer ranging from the Posse Comitatus Act to Oak Harbor’s recent double homicide. Regarding that incident, Dyer said it was a cooperative effort with the local sheriff ’s department that resulted in the apprehension of the suspect. “It’s one more example of agencies working and cooperating together,� he said.

Visitors at the meeting included Van Rezny and Bob Bullivant. Bullivant delivered a check for $2400 to the PBY Memorial Foundation that represented the proceeds from a PBY group which recently disbanded. The money will be dedicated to seaplane restoration at the PBY Memorial Foundation.

The group will hold their next meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 6, at the CPO club.

Memories abound from sailors’ time in Maritime Patrol Squadron 69

A

recent reunion of the former members of Maritime Patrol Squadron (VP) 69 was more than just an enjoyable experience — it was a milestone, considering the year 2011 also marked the Centennial of Naval Aviation, said retired AOCS Ed Hammond, who chaired the event.

The reunion on October 14 and 15 took place at the Best Western Harbor Plaza and CPO club in Oak Harbor. Captain Paul Kuntz, former commanding officer of Reserve Patrol Squadron 69, and a more than 30 year veteran with Boeing, gave the history and time line of the building of the Boeing P8-A Poseidon.

On Saturday evening, at least 139 guests and former squadron members enjoyed dinner and a

by Mike LaVelle, a director of the Seattle Museum of Flight, said Hammond.

LaVelle, an aviation historian, author, and Royal Aeronautical Society Fellow, addresses many universities, museums, and industry interest groups. “Mr. Lavelle made the subject of his presentation the Cal Rodgers first transcontinental flight from New York to Pasadena,

VETERANS | FROM PAGE 1 of the United States. Each year, communities across the United States honor those who have served our country, under the broad theme of “Honoring our Nation’s Heroes�. The local theme this year commemorates the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, and honors the “Greatest Generation�.

This year’s ceremony will feature a video tribute to our Pearl Harbor survivors, along with musical performances by the Daybreak Trio, the Chancel Choir of the First United Methodist Church, the Oak Harbor High School Harbor Singers, and the All-Island Community Band.

Calif., in 1911. The epochal flight was undertaken in quest of a $50,000 grand prize offered by William Randolph Hearst for the first person to complete the flight within 30 days,� said Hammond.

The group also greeted special guest, retired Navy Cmdr. Harry Ferrier, a survivor of World War II’s Battle of Midway. Ferrier presented LaVelle an auto-

graphed copy of Robert Mrazek’s book “A Dawn Like Thunder.� “It was all enjoyable, and educational as well,� said Hammond. “So many of our members from VP-69 found that being back in Oak Harbor was like returning home, that the majority voted to return to Whidbey Island for our next reunion in 2013,� he said.

Additionally, the program will feature the Oak Harbor High School NJROTC Color Guard and remarks by Mayor Jim Slowik.

The community is invited and encouraged to attend this ceremony to honor all of the veterans among us, who have throughout our nation’s history fought to preserve our democracy, maintain the peace and preserve our legacy.

Time to fall back — already

It seems if I’m not careful, the rest of 2011 will slip by and I will hardly notice.

I can’t believe Halloween came and went before I even had a chance to decorate the house. My various pumpkins didn’t come out of the bin until Halloween evening; by then it was too late to put out any jack o’lanterns, so the plain pumpkins that stay out for Thanksgiving are the only ones I managed to unpack. The upside to that is that I am decorated for Thanksgiving.

One thing I’ve been able to enjoy this fall has been the beautiful color this year. At least that’s KATHY something we can all appreciate REED as we shuttle ourselves between home and work and from appointment to appointment or activity to activity.

Of course, according to the Washington State Foliage Hotline (1-900-354-4595), the premier area for color this week is near Walla Walla. I do plan on doing a little driving this weekend, but Walla Walla may be out of my reach. Perhaps a drive along State Route 11 (Chuckanut Drive) will still yield some pretty foliage. Or I may be relegated to enjoying what I can see from the Interstate.

It seems what I’m lacking these days is time to enjoy the little things. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. I’ve missed Halloween, I’m fast on my way to missing out on the last of the fall color and what do we have to look forward to this weekend?

The end of Daylight Savings Time.

As much as I look forward to its beginning in the spring, I dread its end in the fall. There’s something so awful about losing that hour — yes, I will admit it, that hour of sleep — that I find myself planning how I can manage to make it up.

If it’s true what they say about admitting you have a problem being the first step to solving it, I’m in good shape. However, I am no closer to inventing the machine that will enable me to add more hours to my day.

PIRATES | FROM PAGE 2 because it could affect the cost of their insurance.

Another issue facing Merchant Marines is that because of cost, only about 20 percent of companies provide armed guards such as the ones on board the night his ship was attacked.

Sweeney thanked the Navy League for its unwavering support, especially of the Jones Act, which allows injured sailors to obtain compensation from their employers for the negligence of the owner, the captain or fellow crew members.

Because the face of the Merchant Marines is changing, Sweeney said the kind of personnel needed has changed as well. People with prior military experience often have good luck finding work in the Merchant Marines after separating from the service. Sweeney has started his own company, Maritime Headhunters, LLC for that purpose.

“We need people with prior military experience,” he said. “You have experience with weapons and tactics. We share the high seas with aircraft carriers. We are subject to many of the same rules. People with prior service understand.”

As for early detection, Sweeney said it’s a good idea that doesn’t always work, due in part to the transportation used by pirates. Their boats are hard to pick up on radar he said, because they’re low to the water and quite often made of wood.

In the end, fighting piracy may be a political problem.

“Until Somalia in particular has a legitimate government that doesn’t rely on piracy, it’s not going to end,” Sweeney said.

If the little nip in the air has turned your thoughts toward winter an upcoming holiday festivities, you can get an early start on holiday plans by reserving your Festival of Trees tickets.

Remember them with flowers this Veterans Day

By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

O

ak Harbor will be honoring veterans in many ways this Veterans’ Day. If you feel led to contribute financially, local veterans’ support organizations want to thank you faceto-face at donation sites around town.

Disabled American Veterans forgetme-not volunteer fundraisers will be on hand from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Walmart, Ace Hardware, the Navy Exchange and Commissary, and Saar’s Marketplace, said Michelle McClain, Adjutant, DAV chapter 47. “The forget-me-not drive is one of our biggest fundraisers all year,� said McClain.

The group’s tradition of distributing the little, blue forget-me-not flowers to support veterans reaches back more than 80 years, she said. “It is said to date back to World War I, when returning soldiers described blue flowers growing over the graves of comrades buried in Europe during that conflict,� said McClain.

A 1915 poem, “In Flanders Fields,� is the inspiration for the red “buddy poppy�

flower distributed by two other groups, the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. “All the buddy poppies that the VFW offers are made by disabled and needy veterans at veterans’ hospitals and workshops,� said Joanne McDaniel, VFW Ladies’ Auxiliary president. “We want people to know that, when they donate to the buddy poppy program, they are providing money for relief funds used to help local veterans,� she said.

VFW post and auxiliary members will distribute buddy poppies at Saar’s Marketplace and Albertson’s on Veterans’ Day from 1 to 5 p.m., said McDaniel.

The American Legion distributes their poppies twice yearly, on Memorial Day and Veterans’ Day, said Julia Dietz, president of American Legion Auxiliary Post 129. “All our poppies are handmade by disabled veterans,� said Dietz. “Contributions will go a long way toward funding services for veterans and their family members in our community,� she said.

Dietz said their members will be out in force on Veterans’ Day in front of local area businesses as well.

he 16th annual Veterans’ Day parade in Burlington will enjoy lots of active participation from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

According to Veterans of Foreign Wars Ladies Auxiliary president Joanne McDaniel, approximately 60 personnel from the base will march in the parade, many carrying posters of military members from the state of Washington who have given their lives for their country. “The fallen soldier banner project is one way we can honor their memory,� said McDaniel.

Ladies auxiliary member Diane Small said their group has been raising funds so each of these soldiers and sailors is memorialized with a banner bearing their picture, hometown, name, rank, and branch of service. So far, they’ve made about 200 of them. “The banners are displayed at appropriate venues around the state,� said Small. “The Veterans’ Day parade is certainly one of these, and the banners will be carried in the parade by their brothers-in-arms.�

The parade will also feature a U.S. Navy fly-over, said Tom Sheahan, of the Burlington Veterans’ Day Parade Committee. “We hope to feature a privatelyowned Russian tank from Anacortes, as well,� said Sheahan.

Parade Grand Marshal is Joe Moser, a pilot shot down in World War II who survived the hardships of an enemy Joe Moser concentration camp, said Sheahan.

The parade starts at 11 a.m. Friday, Nov. 11.

The Wizards in action

An EA-6B Prowler from the Wizards of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 133 launches from the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74).

An EA-6B Prowler from the Wizards of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 133 launches off the flight deck of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). John C. Stennis is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility conducting maritime security operations and support missions as part of Operation Enduring Freedom and New Dawn.

WATER| FROM PAGE 1 contacted.

The Walnut is uniquely equipped to perform this mission and has been involved in several major operations in the last 10 years.

In Nov., 2002, the crew of the Walnut left on a six-month deployment to support the U.S. and Coalition forces in Operations Eduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. the cutter crew provided logistical support to coalition forces and established a navigational channel in the Khawr Abd Allah waterway leading to the Iraqi Port.

In the summers of 208 and 2009, the Walnut crew assisted the U.S. Army and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration personnel in recovering more than 62,000 pounds of marine debris from the Northwest Hawaiian Islands.

The debris was delivered to the Hawaiian Electric Company on Oahu,where it was converted into electricity.

In May, 2010, the Walnut deployed to the Gulf of Mexico for six months in sup-

port of the Deep water Horizon oil spill.

The crew recovered more than 270,000 gallons of oily water. During its transit to the Gulf of Mexico, the Walnut crew interdicted and Eduadorian go-fast vessel and confiscated 300 pounds of cocaine.

“We are a military service whose mission is multi-operational; not only do we service aids to navigation, perform search and rescue and law enforcement, we also have the capability to respond to humanitarian missions,” said Lt. Cmdr. Brian Huff, commanding officer of the Walnut.

“We are fortunate to be in the position to work with foreign and local governments and help the people of Tokelau.

Tokelau officials lifted a state of emergency on Oct. 27, following the first substantial rainfall in nearly six months. Still, officials say the atolls should prepare for future water shortages, and say they plan to continue to emphasize water conservation and reserve management for the long-term.

Whidbey Crosswind editor Kathy Reed contributed to this story.
