BY RUTH KINGSLANDNorthwest GuardianYariana Calo, a Joint Base

Lewis-McChord youth, is a na-tional winner in the Army’s“Young Lives, Big Stories Con-test” in the fourth and fifthgrade category.The Army announced the

winners in the annual competi-tion earlier this month. Thecontest was part of the 2017Month of the Military Childobservance in April and askedmilitary kids in preschoolthrough 12th grade to write anessay or, for the youngest agecategories, to draw a picture ofwhat it means to be a militarychild.The annual contest is part of

the Child and Youth Servicesprogram in the U.S. Army In-stallation Management Com-mand’s G9 Family and Morale,Welfare and Recreation Serv-ices. The program is designed toenable Soldiers to build indivi-dual, collective and family self-reliance, according to the con-test website.Yariana, age 11, recently com-

pleted fifth-grade at Carter LakeElementary School. She is thedaughter of Staff Sgt. OmarCalo, 504th Military PoliceBattalion, 42nd Military PoliceBrigade, and Gretchen Calo.In addition to having a passion

for writing and art, Yariana alsohas the distinction of being atriplet. Also part of that trio arebrothers, Yaniel and Yariel.The family moved to JBLM in

October 2016 from Miami. Yar-iana and her siblings were bornin their parents’ native PuertoRico, while Calo was deployedto Iraq.Being able to make sacrifices,

such as moving frequently, wasone of the themes of Yariana’sprize-winning essay and that ofseveral winners in other agegroups in the competition, ac-cording to Ruth Beaudry, IM-COM CYS program manager.“I feel both pride and sadness:

sadness because I read about thesacrifices military children andyouth make for their nation —and pride because of their abilityto cope and make the best out ofit,” Beaudry said after reading

all the winning entries. “It reallymade me appreciate the militaryfamily more and how privilegedthese children and youth are,willing to serve along with themilitary parents. It is importantfor the world to meet these win-ners and all the Army youth,because they are strong andcourageous individuals.”Yariana’s essay also told of

her pride in her dad and otherservice members who fight toprotect this country.“Over the years, I have

learned that being a militarychild is tough,” Yariana wrote.“When I was younger, I didn’tunderstand. One day I would beplaying with my friends, and thenext I would be boarding a plane— ready to take off. However,now I know we do this becauseit is the military’s job to serveand protect all of America.”Yariana said it’s been difficult

to move and leave friends be-hind, however, she enjoyedmaking friends last school yearat Carter Lake Elementary andis looking forward to attendingmiddle school with her brothersthis fall at Harrison Preparatory

School in Lakewood.The siblings all said they enjoy

hanging out with friends andeach other, as well as familytime, traveling, playing boardgames and watching movies.Yariana is bilingual and

learned English first, but shealso speaks her parents’ nativeSpanish, a little French andsome sign language. She saidshe plans to be a veterinariansomeday because she lovesanimals and the opportunity tomake them feel better if they aresick.Gretchen Calo said she’s very

proud of her daughter for win-ning the essay contest and forbeing such an awesome youngperson, daughter, friend andsister to her brothers.“She’s just so amazing,”

Gretchen said.Yariel and Yaniel also said

they are proud of their sister.“She’s always nice, and she

helps me with my homework,”Yaniel said. “I kinda knew she’dwin the contest; she reads a lotof books, and she’s a good writ-er.”“She’s the best,” Yariel said.The contest entries were

scored based on — content,form, grammar, presentation ofthe main idea and creativity.Yariana won an iPad mini.

Army announces force structureincreases to improve readinessWASHINGTON, D.C. — The Army announced June 15 how

it will allocate thousands of additional troops that are part ofan end strength directed by Congress in the National DefenseAuthorization Act.The increase allows the Army to maintain an end strength of

1.018 million Soldiers. This results in a regular Army forceincrease to 476,000 Soldiers; the Army National Guard to343,000; and the Army Reserve to 199,000.The increase reverses the Total Army end strength reduc-

tion programmed for 980,000 by the end of fiscal 2018.Major force structure decisions include establishing read-

iness enhancement accounts in all Army components to raisemanning and readiness levels in existing combat units to sup-port combatant commanders’ operational demands and con-tingency operations as defined by the defense strategy; reten-tion of units previously scheduled for inactivation; as well asthe creation of new units and personnel increases in existingorganizations in the United States and overseas.The increase will begin to address and reduce the capa-

bilities gap against near-peer, high-end adversaries; reducemodernization gaps; and improve readiness in existing units.The added end strength ensures the Army increases manningin its tactical units, enhancing overall readiness across allthree components.“The end strength increase will augment deploying units,

and units on high readiness status, with additional Soldiers toincrease Army readiness and enable us to continue to protectthe nation,” said Brig. Gen. Brian Mennes, director of theForce Management Division.

Butthat agency doesn’t account forthe more than 4,400 still missingfrom World War I. Thanks to theefforts of several volunteers, therecords of these men are slowlybeing unearthed, and more menwho served 100 years ago arebeing identified. Since many ofthe personnel files have dis-appeared or are sparse and keptall over the world, it’s a long andtedious process.

and congratulations on takingcommand of the 593rd,” said Lt.Gen. Gary Volesky, I Corps com-manding general, who officiatedthe ceremony. “Our Army got itright sending you to take thereins of the 593rd, and I lookforward to serving with you andseeing you to continue to buildupon the outstanding reputationof this command.”As the 593rd ESC commander,

Moore is responsible for all sus-tainment operations for I Corpsthroughout its area of operationsacross the Pacific. The unit sup-ports dozens of exercises andpartner nation training events inthe U.S. and across the Pacificevery year.It has provided sustainment

support around the world and hasdeployed numerous times, frommultiple deployments to Viet-

nam, to Operation Desert Stormand Operation Restore Hope torecent deployments supportingthe War on Terror in Iraq in2004, 2006 and 2010 and inAfghanistan in 2012.Moore, a native of Philadel-

phia, has served in the Army fornearly 29 years and was a Dis-tinguished Military Graduate ofthe Virginia State UniversityReserve Officer Training CorpsProgram, receiving his commis-sion in 1989.Moore has had several logistics

staff assignments to include aschief operations and plans U.S.

Army Materiel Command,Huntsville, Ala., North AtlanticTreaty Organization, U.S. ArmyTraining and Doctrine Com-mand, and Headquarters Depart-ment of the Army G4 staff.His command assignments

include commander 404th ArmyField Support Brigade, at JBLM,and 1st Battalion, 402nd ArmyField Support Brigade comman-der in Balad, Iraq.Before the 593rd Expeditionary

Sustainment Command, Moorewas the executive officer to theU.S. Army Materiel Commandcommanding general.

“General Haley, you have ledthis command through somechallenging times in its history,all while taking care of America’smost precious asset, our Sol-diers,”Moore said. “I’m honoredto follow and build on your lega-cy and maintain the momentumyou’ve established.”Haley, who was born in Roch-

ester, N.Y, and calls Vienna, Va.,home, commanded the 593rdsince June 2015, while simultane-ously serving as the I Corps depu-ty commanding general for sus-tainment.“Where one command may

execute one or two major exercis-es in a commander’s tenure, theSoldiers of the 593d ESC haveexecuted nine, more than one aquarter while I’ve been here,”Haley said. “With this trainingand our operational deploymentsin support of every combatantcommand in the Department ofDefense, I can truly say that thisis the most trained, the mostready and the best ESC in theArmy — we truly put the expedi-tionary in ESC.”“The Army doesn’t operate or

succeed on its own,” Voleskysaid. “It takes teamwork. It re-quires individuals, united by acommon goal, to successfullyaccomplish the mission. Over thepast two years, Jack Haley hasmagnificently led this organiza-tion and built a team that is readynow to deploy, fight and winanywhere in the world.”Haley retires later this sum-

mer.“To the men and women of the

BY SGT. BRIAN STEPHENSON7th Infantry DivisionYAKIMA — The largest 7th

Infantry Division-led exercisesince 2012, that started June 15and runs through Thursday, ishappening at Yakima TrainingCenter and at Joint Base Lewis-McChord.Thousands of Soldiers from 22

units from across the countryare conducting live, virtual andconstructive training simultane-ously, and none of it would bepossible without the efforts of 35Soldiers.Service members conduct

training at YTC throughout theyear. The installation is normal-ly capable of supporting 1,500

people with food and water.However, Bayonet Focus 17-03has swelled YTC to approxi-mately 7,000 people. The Sol-diers are training in combinedarms breaches, attacking, coun-ter-attacking, defending andcalling for fire.This exercise gives Soldiers,

who are automated logistic spe-cialists, an experience they don’tnormally get, said Staff Sgt.Nicholas Kizzie, the 46th Avia-tion Support Battalion SupplySupport Activity noncommis-sioned officer in charge. Hewants his Soldiers to understandthey deal with multiple classesof supply.Kizzie has revolutionized the

way logistics is conducted, saidSgt. 1st Class DeRonnious Hei-delberg, the 7th ID logisticsnoncommissioned officer incharge. He has set the standardeven though he had one monthto plan and execute the massivelogistical operation.Only 17 Soldiers from 46th

ASB and 18 Soldiers from 13thCombat Sustainment SupportBattalion are responsible for theinventory, separation and dis-tribution of food rations for thisexercise.Food in the Army supply sys-

tem falls under class one. Theclass one yard is where theserations are pulled, inventoriedand loaded to the correct unit.

Normally this is done by auto-mated logistical specialists;however, culinary specialisthave been included into theclass one yard for the exercise.“This is the first that culinary

specialists have had this muchinvolvement in class one re-supply,” said Sgt. 1st Class Mac-Arthur Ocampo, senior culinarymanagement NCO, for the 2ndBrigade, 2nd Infantry Division.Ocampo, who orders and

manages rations for the entireexercise, has only been at Lanc-er Brigade for two weeks andhas never done anything of thismagnitude in his career.“An army marches on its

stomach,” Ocampo said, citing a

quote from Napoleon that moti-vates him. “How can a Soldierfocus on a mission if he is hun-gry?”Approximately 21,000 meals

are consumed daily, and all ofthat perishable food needs re-frigeration.“What motivates me is there

are 7,000 people counting onme to keep the refrigerators go-ing, and it makes me feel usefulto this massive overall mission,”said Spc. Cassition Adelbai, a13th Combat Sustainment Sup-port Battalionan air conditionermechanic. “I have only been inthe Army six months and ittaught me to adapt and over-come any obstacle.”

7TH INFANTRY DIVISION

Keeping the 7,000 Soldiers fed at Bayonet Focus

BY STAFF SGT.SAMUEL NORTHRUP1st Brigade, 2nd Infantry DivisionYAKIMA — Shadow un-

manned aerial system operatorsand maintainers of 7th InfantryDivision are honing their skill setat the Yakima Training Centerduring Bayonet Focus 17-03 thatstarted June 15 and runs throughThursday.The Soldiers provided imagery

support for units conducting theexercise, an effort that providedmore realistic training for UASpersonnel and service membersin the field.“This is different than training

back at Joint Base Lewis-Mc-Chord because we are in a moretactical setting and we move alot faster,” said Spc. Brysen Bor-ja, a UAS operator with the 2ndBrigade, 2nd Infantry Division.“The biggest difference is thatwe are always receiving a mis-sion from a unit somewhere to

get eyes on targets or help themfind something.”This imagery saves lives, ac-

cording to Borja. With the imag-ery, units under attack can redi-rect and engage the enemy inthe best way possible.“As far as the Soldiers on the

ground are concerned, the Shad-ow (UAS) helps them visualizethe battlefield as well as helpsthem conduct reconnaissance,”said 1st Lt. Kimberly Covey, UASplatoon leader with 1st Bde., 2ndInf. Div. “They know where theenemy is located — this enablesthem to plan better and conducttheir operations.”When the operators and main-

tainers are not flying the Shad-ows, they are doing training onForward Operating Base tacticsand defense, according to ChiefWarrant Officer 3 Daniel Page,Brigade Aviation Element UASrepresentative for 2nd Bde., 2ndInf. Div. They are preparing for

wartime operations.They have to be proficient and

be able to rely on themselves. Itdefinitely stresses the aircraftand Soldiers in different waysdue to the environment, Pagesaid. But it is good for the Sol-diers and it is good for the equip-ment, he said.This was the first time the

platoon has conducted theiroperations on an expeditionary

landing strip, Covey said. TheUAS airfield was recently built atYTC and they have been testingit for 7th ID.“555th Engineer Brigade did a

really good job,” Page said. “Theairfield is a great expeditionary-type airfield. This is somethingthat you would see in a real-world scenario where you justgained airspace and land.”The training also provided an

additional opportunity for pla-toons to see what it is like tooperate with two platoons on onesite, according to Covey.“It has been beneficial seeing

how two platoons working sideby side can get multiple aircraftin the air, especially when we aresharing a limited amount ofspace,” Covey said. “It has beena great experience and I get aglimpse of what we would expe-rience down range with multipleplatoons in one area.”Borja said they train in the

best way they can back at JBLMand at YTC so they can excel attheir job. He is dedicated to thetraining and believes it will helpthose in need when the timecomes.“I love helping people,” Borja

said. “Being in the air and tryingto help units in any way possibleis one of the best ways I can helpsomeone. That’s my motiva-tion.”

THIS WEEK IN HISTORY

BY COMMAND SGT. MAJ.PAMELA WILLIAMS593rd ExpeditionarySustainment CommandCommand Sergeant Major

T he Fourth of July celebrationis probably the most Amer-ican of our holidays becauseit is a celebration of the

freedoms and independence weshare and defend as service mem-bers — as Americans.It’s fitting that we have barbecues,

fireworks and parades on the date.We need an extendedweekend to celebratethis occasion properlyas Americans havedone since July 4,1776.John Adams wrote

to his wife, Abigail,“This day will be themost memorable

epoch in the history of America. Iam apt to believe that it will be cele-brated by succeeding generations asthe great anniversary festival. Itought to be commemorated as theday of deliverance.“It ought to be solemnized with

pomp and parade, with shows,games, sports, guns, bells, bonfireand illuminations from one end ofthis continent to the other, from thistime forward forever more!”So you see, we have been partying

on this date for 241 years becauseJohn Adams told us to.The traditions of this holiday have

been set over the years throughmany such celebrations. On July 4,1777, 13 gunshots were fired once atmorning and again as evening fell inBristol, R.I.Philadelphia celebrated the first

anniversary in a way we would findfamiliar — an official dinner, toasts,13-gun salutes, speeches, prayers,music, parades, troop reviews andfireworks. Ships were decked withred, white and blue bunting.For those of you who may have

adult beverages (in moderation ofcourse) with your cookouts thisFourth of July weekend, you canthank George Washington for thattradition. On July 4, 1778, he or-dered a double ration of rum for hissoldiers and an artillery salute.A couple of trivia facts about the

Fourth of July you may not know.Some people think the Declara-

tion of Independence was signed onJuly 4, 1776. However, the secondContinental Congress approved theDeclaration on July 4, 1776, but thedelegates did not actually sign ituntil Aug. 2, 1776.John Adams and Thomas Jef-

ferson were friendly rivals (most ofthe time) and both boasted theywould outlive the other. On July 4,

1826, John Adams lay on hisdeathbed and uttered his last words“Jefferson survives.” As a messengerwas dispatched to give the sad newsto Jefferson, he passed anothermessenger who was coming toAdams from Monticello to tell himof Jefferson’s death.Both men died within hours of

each other on July 4, 1826.As we celebrate our independence

and freedom this year, let’s alwaysbe mindful that freedom isn’t free. Itwas bought at a very high price ofhuman lives when a rag tag army ofcolonists took on the tyranny of oneof the most powerful nations in theworld at that time – and won.Since 1776, freedom has had a

home and freedom has had a de-fender. Unlike any other country,America came into the world with amessage for mankind, that all menare created equal and all are meantto be free.In July 1776, the population in the

American colonies was just 2.5 mil-lion people. Today there are morethan 300 million Americans.There is no American “race,”

however, there’s only an Americancreed. We believe in the dignity andrights of every person.We believe in equal justice, a

sound government and in the rule oflaw. We believe in personalresponsibility and tolerance towardothers.This creed of freedom and equal-

ity has lifted the lives of millions ofAmericans, of citizens by birth and

citizens by choice. The creed drawsour friends to us.It sets our enemies against us and

always inspires the best in us.Over the 241 years of our history,

this creed has been tested manytimes and in many places as nationsand groups tried to destroy our wayof life. They failed every time.Failed because American men and

women were willing to stand inharm’s way and die, if necessary, topreserve our independence. Just likethe colonists did so many decadesago.Today, there are still evil threats

to our freedom and our way of life.As in the past, there are many thou-sands of American men and womenin uniform around the world rightnow ensuring our enemies fail bystanding in harm’s way and dying, ifnecessary, to maintain our inde-pendence.Just like the colonists did so many

decades ago.Hopefully, in their own way,

those service members currentlydeployed are celebrating the Fourthof July, as we are, and that theyreturn safely.We all have much to celebrate

today — the beautiful nation we livein and the freedom we have to enjoylife as we see fit without the fear oftyranny. Let us always remember,however, that freedom is not freeand we must bind together whenev-er our cherished way of life is threat-ened.Have a happy Fourth of July.

BY DEAN SIEMONNorthwest GuardianAs a child growing up, Aman-

da Hackbarth wanted to dotherapy work with dogs. For thepast 13 years, she’s broughtthree different German shep-herds to numerous hospital visitsat Madigan Army Medical Cen-ter and the Warrior TransitionBattalion on Joint Base Lewis-McChord.With her current dog, Jax, 6,

Hackbarth is one of three volun-teers certified by Therapy DogsInternational through the Amer-ican Red Cross at Madigan. It’s avolunteer job that she’s enjoyed— seeing patients at both Madi-gan and the WTB feel better.“It’s really a rewarding experi-

ence to help people,” Hackbarthsaid, the human and animalbonding coordinator for Amer-ican Red Cross on JBLM.“You’re walking through thehalls and patients (and staffmembers) tell us how much itmeans.”The team of three therapy dog

volunteers would like to recruitmore dogs and owners to helpwith more visits.Along with Hackbarth, Janet

Baker has also been volunteer-ing for 13 years — currently withCooper, a nearly 2-year-oldgolden retriever. Staff SergeantAndrew Danna, of the 4th Bat-talion, 160th Special OperationsAviation Regiment, also volun-teers with his 8-year-old choco-late Labrador retriever — alsonamed Cooper.“It’s nice to see everyone’s

face (at a visit),” Danna said.“When they’re not expecting tosee a dog, they get really excit-ed.”Any breed is eligible to be-

come a therapy dog in the pro-gram. Hackbarth has commonlyseen golden retrievers and La-bradors, but she said she’s alsoseen pit bull terriers do well inthe program as long as they havea positive temperament.“They have to like people, and

they have to like other dogs,”Hackbarth said. “You can’t forceyour dog onto people. If (the

dogs) don’t want to (socialize),you can’t make them.”Therapy dogs also have to

have the ability to not be startledor scared easily. Hackbarth saidsometimes patients can be a

little scared of dogs or get car-ried away with meeting thedogs.That’s why all dogs have to go

through the a certificationcourse sponsored by TherapyDogs International. It is verysimilar to the American KennelClub’s Canine Good Citizen test,she said.After passing the certification

course, there are strict require-ments for staying on the JBLMteam. All dogs have to haveupdated shots and flea protec-

tion, and they must be bathedwithin a week before a visit.Therapy dogs are not consid-

ered service dogs. Service dogsare not eligible for the programbecause they are trained to as-sist with anything from guidingthe blind to alerting if there is aseizure or stroke.“They’re (service dogs) work-

ing for you; they’re not to bedistracted,” Hackbarth said.The visits usually take place

once a week. More volunteerswould allow for more visitsaround the base. Hackbarth saidshe usually tries to limit eachvisit to two or three hours.“We would average 45 to 50

people each week,” Hackbarthsaid. “It doesn’t sound likemuch, but it’s tiring (to) thedogs. You don’t want to burn thedog out, and he/she doesn’twant to come.”Other than meeting the health

and temperament requirements,owners must be age 18 or olderand currently have access toJBLM.Those interested in becoming

a volunteer with their dogshould call the JBLM AmericanRed Cross office at 253-968-1055 or e-mail Hackbarth [email protected]. Formore information about theTherapy Dogs Internationaltesting, visit tdi-dog.org.

BY MAJ. JASON TURNER2nd Infantry Division ArtilleryOperations OfficerYAKIMA — In 2003, then

Pfc. Jesse Kobussen, field artil-lery fire direction specialist,was processing mass fire mis-sions at Rodriquez Live FireComplex, South Korea, for a2nd Infantry Division Artillery.This would be the last time

the DIVARTY would controlfires for multiple artillery bat-talions before its inactivationNov. 30, 2006.But on June 10, Kobussen,

now a sergeant first class, satagain in the DIVARTY FireControl Center at the YakimaTraining Center as the seniorfire direction specialist, con-trolling fires for multiple fieldartillery battalions for the firsttime since 2003.DIVARTY, based at Joint

Base Lewis-McChord, orches-trated the massing of 33 M777Howitzers from three fieldartillery battalions, includingone Washington Army NationalGuard unit, while conductingForce Field Artillery Head-quarters training at YTC. Thiswas the first time since theDIVARTY’s reactivation onSept. 25, 2014, the fire controlteam has demonstrated thiscritical capability required bythe 2nd Infantry Division com-mander.“It is truly awesome when

you see 33 cannons mass on asingle target,” Kobussen said.“That destructive power shakesthe earth for miles and shows

the lethality of the DIVARTY.”DIVARTY routinely partici-

pates in 2nd Infantry Divisionexercises, such as Operation

Key Resolve, Operation UlchiFreedom Guardian and divi-sion-level warfighting exercis-es. Their ability to integrate

fires with maneuver and setconditions for maneuver com-manders has proven critical tothe success of 2nd InfantryDivision missions.“Re-establishing and training

on this critical capability aftersome 14 years clearly demon-strates the lethality and thesignificant role the DIVARTYshave in a decisive action bat-tle,” said Col. David Pierce,2nd Infantry Division Artillerycommander. “The force fieldartillery (headquarters) cancontrol multiple field artillerybattalions and effectively massonto a single target simultane-ously and instantly destroy theadversary, creating that markedbattlefield advantage for ourbrigade combat teams.”Soldiers of 2nd Infantry Divi-

sion Artillery stand ready nowto support their Republic ofKorea partners.Kobussen and the Soldiers of

DIVARTY have proven they caneffectively control the fieldartillery fight, mass all indirectfires on enemy targets and areprepared to take the fight to theenemy.

BY ROLAND BALIK436th Airlift WingPublic AffairsDOVER AIR FORCE BASE,

Del. — Nineteen honorary com-manders and civic leaders fromJoint Base Lewis-McChordcame to Dover Air Force Base,Del., for a three-day communi-ty relations tour June 7 to 9.The purpose of hosting the

tour was to expose the civicleaders to the similar andunique missions of another AirMobility Command base and tofoster relationships with thevisiting honorary commandersand civic leaders.After the McChord C-17

Globemaster III parked on thetransient ramp, Col. EthanGriffin, 436th Airlift Wing com-mander, greeted his formerboss, Col. Leonard Kosinski,62nd AW commander, and thevisiting civic leaders, some ofwhom remember Griffin as theformer vice wing commanderof the 62nd AW.“We have an interesting mix

of folks here,” Kosinski said.“Probably half have been heav-ily involved with supporting ourAirmen in different programsand the other half are interest-

ed in potentially becoming anhonorary commander. Thehonorary commander programis a great ability for us as Air-men to reach out to profession-als in other areas and to be ableto cross-tell some of what wedo as a profession. We havehad huge success at McChord.”In the 9th Airlift Squadron

auditorium, Griffin, accompa-nied by Chief Master Sgt. Mi-chael Zimmerman, 436th Mis-sion Support Group superin-tendent, formally welcomedthe group and presented aDover mission briefing. After

the briefing, the group madetheir first stop to the C-5 Iso-chronal Inspection Dock.Starting on the second day,

the civic leaders had breakfastwith Dover Airmen at the din-ing facility before touring theJoint Personal Effects Depot,Armed Forces Medical Exam-iner System and Air Force Mor-tuary Affairs Operations.“I think it’s amazing the job

that they do, to see the time,effort and the dedication thatthey have for the job, it’s veryemotional,” said MelanieBoehm, a City of University

Place code enforcement officer.“It was important for me tocome and experience it so I canshare what great work our AirForce is doing.”After having lunch with some

of Dover’s company grade offi-cers, the group’s next stop ofthe day was a tour of the 436thAerial Port Squadron, alsoknown as the Super Port.“I found that the automation

was really interesting,” saidMelissa Dravis, United ParcelService human resources super-visor out of Seattle, who alsoworks with the JBLM Transition

Office within Hiring Our He-roes. “The facility was pristineand the programs they use totrack inventory were unique aswell.“We don’t have any physical

tracking on packages until wetouch them, so the radio fre-quency identification tags thatthey use would certainly besomething that would be help-ful for us to implement.”After visiting the Air Mobility

Command Museum, the groupmet with Dover honorary com-manders and local civic leadersduring dinner at a local restau-rant. The event was hosted byrestaurant owner Rob Meding,436th Logistics ReadinessSquadron honorary comman-der.“We listened to them talk

about our base,” Meding said.“They enjoyed coming hereand they are like-minded peo-ple from the other coast.”Before departing Dover, the

group toured the 373rd Train-ing Squadron, Detachment 3,and watched C-5M Super Gal-axy and C-17 aircraft mainte-nance students receive tech-nical training on maintenancetrainers and engines.“We showed off some very

specific Dover missions, mis-sions they won’t see at anyother base,” said Dawne Nick-erson-Banez, 436th AW PublicAffairs chief of communityengagement.

Three-day tourexposes civiliansto AMC mission

BY DEAN SIEMONNorthwest GuardianWith June being National

Safety Month, now is a goodtime to consider fireworks safe-ty before the Fourth of July.Cases of fires caused by fire-works have surfaced over theyears on and off base.On Joint Base Lewis-Mc-

Chord, fireworks are not al-lowed. Within JBLM Regulation420-30, it’s not just big boom-ers that are prohibited on theinstallation; banned fireworksalso include the smaller itemslike sparklers, snakes andsmoke bombs.Although sparklers have been

synonymous with pictures ofkids holding them at familybarbecues, the United StatesConsumer Product Safety Com-mission reports that sparklerscan burn up to 2,000 degreesFahrenheit. To put that in per-spective, wood usually burns at

575 degrees and glass melts at900 degrees.“There’s a reason the kids (in

those pictures) had their eyesclosed, and they kept it awayfrom their face,” said Ed Cha-vez, Joint Base Lewis-McChordDirectorate of EmergencyServices fire inspector. “ (Spar-klers) can easily burn and sting,and you can catch clothes onfire.”For service members and

families living off base, somecities and counties have re-strictions or bans on fireworks,visit wsp.wa.gov/fire/fwli-cense.htm for details.Chavez said when having

fireworks at home off base,folks should consider safetyfirst. For one, it’s best to lightfireworks away from anythingthat can readily burn — such asdead grass and houses.“A lot of times when (people)

set those things off, they do it

at night,” Chavez said. “Theysee it go in the air, but theydon’t see where it lands.”

Don’t try to re-light a fire-work if it doesn’t go off, Chavezsaid. It’s best to just put it in a

bucket of water and move on tothe next one.“The wick has gotten smaller,

and if you put a lighting sourceto it, it has the potential to gooff right there,” Chavez said.According to a June 2016

CPSC report, fireworks wereinvolved in approximately11,900 injuries that were treat-ed in U.S. emergency rooms in2015.The report also notes that the

CPSC reports an average ofabout 7 deaths related to fire-works per year.That’s why Chavez recom-

mends fireworks enthusiasts togo to a local fireworks showhosted by professionals, such asFreedom Fest at JBLM July 4.For more information about

the free event, visitjblmmwr.com/freedomfest.

MADIGAN ARMY MEDICAL CENTER

BY SUZANNE OVELMadigan Public AffairsWhile he stepped into the field

of medicine to serve people,Capt. (Dr.) Matt Nestanderchose to work in Army Medicineto return to his roots.“I just wanted to give back in

that regard — I’ve been a Soldierso I just wanted to serve theSoldiers, or their families, in mycase,” Nestander said, who justgraduated from Madigan ArmyMedical Center’s Graduate Med-ical Education program June 9.He previously served for six

years in chemical operations inthe National Guard when hewent to college.As a pediatrics resident, Nes-

tander stood out by scoring inthe top 10th percentile in thenational in-training exam and bypresenting research findingsshowing that premature babiesand low birth rates are risk fac-tors for children to be under-immunized (although when theycompleted well-child visits asrecommended, they were immu-nized on time).After three years as a resident,

advancing from book knowledgeto practice experience, Nestan-der was one of the 101 graduatesfrom 28 medical programs atMadigan who walked across thestage at the Health Care Profes-sionals Graduation Ceremony atCarey Theater to emerge ascredentialed providers. ColonelMichael Place, Madigan com-mander, shared what their nextjourneys might look like.“Make no mistake, you are

each about to embark on a pro-

fessional journey unlike anyother as you serve in two of themost respected professions inour society — the profession ofarms and the profession of med-icine,” Place said.Once the graduates serve in

combat medicine, their journeyswill change again as they transi-tion from being medical col-leagues to comrades in arms, hesaid.Brigadier General Ronald

Place, the keynote speaker andthe special assistant to the U.S.Army Surgeon General, encour-aged the graduates to focus onleadership by seeking mentorsand leadership positions.The general helped recognize

some of the graduates for theiroutstanding work as residentsand students — Capt. JasonBingham, who earned the Maj.

Gen. Floyd L. Wergeland Award;Capt. Nupur Garg, who earnedthe Col. Robert Skelton Award;and Capt. Jennifer Richards,who earned the James M. TemoAward.The speakers touted the ac-

complishments of the graduates,such as an overall 97 percentfirst-time board pass rate, adoctor who scored in the top 1percentile nationally, a generalsurgery team which published 21articles this year alone and twograduates who made the nation-al news during their first year asresidents when they saved a lifewhile off duty.Four years ago, Capt. (Dr.)

Anne Gunn and Capt. (Dr.) RafiBen Abda were flying back fromtraining in San Antonio, Texas,when the airline flight attend-ants asked for help.

“We heard an announcementthat they needed a doctor tocome to the front of the plane,”so the pair hurried up the aislealong with two then-pathologyresidents, Ben Abda said.One of the pilots had a heart

attack midflight, so Ben Abdabrought him to the aisle wherethe four residents started CPRand used an automatic defibril-lator. While the residents keptthe pilot alive, the crew foundanother pilot on board whohelped land the plane safely inIdaho.“It was kind of fortuitous that

there happened to be doctors onthe plane because we were allcoming back from the (CombatCasualty Care Course),” Gunnsaid.While that incident helped

mark the beginning of Gunn’s

residency in radiology, what shefound most remarkable over theyears was the solidarity of herclass of residents.“The most memorable thing

overall was having a cohesivegroup; we bounced a lot of ideasoff of each other at any time ofday,” she said.Ben Abda, also a radiologist

resident, enjoyed the mysteriesthat deciphering radiology imag-es allowed him to solve.“I try to figure out the un-

known,” Ben Abda said. “Peopleare sick, they don’t know what’sgoing on with them, so theycome to us and we try to figureout what’s going on and try tosolve that problem.”Now that he’s completed his

five years of residency, BenAbda’s next assignment at FortStewart, Ga., will allow him tokeep fulfilling his dream ofworking in Army Medicine.“To be able to give back to the

country and serve in the mil-itary, I think that’s a great ho-nor,” he said.

Health Beat

BY JOSEPH JONESMadigan Public AffairsImproving the level of train-

ing and education among ArmyMedicine residents at MadiganArmy Medical Center’s Emer-gency Medicine Residency Pro-gram led Lt. Col. Jason Bothwellto earn the title of ProgramDirector of the Year for 2016.Bothwell, who is Madigan’s

program director of the Emer-gency Medicine Residency Pro-gram, earned the distinguishedaward from the EmergencyMedicine Residents’ Associ-ation for his outstanding per-formance and leadership as aprogram director.“To reach milestones like

this, it takes a dedicated team,”Bothwell said about his award.“I feel extraordinarily fortunateto work in an organizationwhere we have a disproportion-ately large number of peoplewilling to volunteer the extrahours to make it special.”

According to the EmergencyMedicine Residents’ Associ-ation, there are 234 emergencymedicine residencies nation-wide from which Bothwell wasselected as the best programdirector in the nation.In 2016, Madigan’s Emergen-

cy Medicine Residency Programhad 36 residents, which makesit the largest program of its kindin Army Medicine.

“We try our best to promote aculture of excellence instead ofa culture of adequacy,” Both-well said. “We have to displayexcellence in everything we do,how we carry out all our duties,how we treat our students, ourcolleagues, and most important-ly, our patients,”Speaking to Bothwell’s fellow

staff and leadership, it becomesapparent that he has made a

lasting impact in the programand has the utmost respect fromhis subordinates and superiors.“Lieutenant Colonel Bothwell

is an outstanding program di-rector and an innovative educa-tor who is an advocate for hisresidents and continuouslyenhances his program to bestprepare them to care for ourunique population,” said Lt.Col. Matthew Short, directorof the Medical Educationand Research Division at Madi-gan.In addition to Bothwell’s

current accolades for his ac-complishments as programdirector, he is also set to bepromoted to colonel. Bothwellis adamant to cite his colleaguesand teammates as his drivingforce to succeed, and creditsthem as a huge part of his suc-cess.“Your colleagues become

your friends and family — to-gether everyone wants to do

well as an organization,” Both-well said.Bothwell attributes his recent

successes to his team’s workethic and commitment to themission.“Some of our keys to success

are a strong sense of communi-ty, residents looking out for oneanother, and a strong culture ofcreating opportunities and rec-ognizing those who do more —that is true with our residentsand our teaching faculty,” hesaid.Madigan’s Emergency Med-

icine residency program contin-ues to groom future Army Med-icine leaders and health careprofessionals.“Anything that comes

through the door of the emer-gency room, our residents areequipped to handle when theygraduate,” Bothwell said. “Theywill also be more preparedwhen they deploy in the fu-ture.”

“They have established thisrelationship with the corps,”Fortin said. “Regardless of whothe commander or key staff are,there is a bit of institutionalmemory here.”Fortin said the assignment

was an honor and great learningexperience.He came to I Corps as a newly

promoted general and within amonth he was off to his first train-ing exercise with the corps head-quarters, one of many in his ten-ure throughout the Pacific region.“It is an incredible privilege to

have been selected by my coun-try to come here and a tremen-dous opportunity to develop mywarfighting skills,” Fortin said.“I never would have had thatopportunity to work at that levelof warfighting in Canada andhave so many repetitions, whichI’ve had over the course of mytwo-year assignment.”Fortin said he fostered and

shared great relationships withhis American teammates andquickly found himself feelinglike a fully-integrated memberof the unit despite being a mem-ber of a foreign military. Attimes, he said, he forgot he was

a Canadian officer and not amember of the U.S. military.“I believed in being a part of

the team that is the U.S. Army,and adding value to the trainingand readiness,” Fortin said.One of Fortin’s goals while

assigned to I Corps, was to de-velop his skills and master hiscraft as a warfighter.On many occasions, Lt. Gen.

Stephen Lanza, former I Corpscommanding general, called onhim to lead the team on severalexercises to provide guidance onhis behalf, commanding thecorps during command postexercises. Experiences Fortinsaid he might not have had inhis native country.“It’s not that I wouldn’t have

been entrusted with thatresponsibility back home, but Iwould not have had that kind ofopportunity back home to workat that level,” Fortin said.Fortin said his time at JBLM

led not only to professionalopportunities, but to the devel-opment of treasured relation-ships.When he arrived at Joint Base

Lewis-McChord, he and his wifeknew no one, he said. But hesoon met people who he wouldcome to see as great friends andneighbors who welcomed andaccepted him as a member ofthe team and the community.

“Two-years later, as we areabout to leave, we have so manygood friends from the corps andacross JBLM and we will missthem,” Fortin said. “We’velearned a great deal from thisexperience not just professional-ly but personally. We learned agreat deal being here on basewith great friends and we lookforward to reconnecting withthem as we go the four-winds.”In two-weeks, Fortin and his

wife will celebrate their 24thwedding anniversary on theroad, as he said they often do.They look forward to his nextassignment in Canada, whichbrings them closer to family.Fortin said this was the first

time they had to be away fromtheir daughter, Gabrielle, whostayed home in Quebec, Cana-da, to attend college.“Being so far from our daugh-

ter was more particularly harderfor my wife than me as it oftenis,” Fortin said. “We look for-ward to reconnecting, we willonly be about four-hours fromher and other family in my nextassignment.”

offered free cotton candy andsnow cones, as well as foodtruck vendors and a variety ofactivities from crafts to archery,a bouncy house and severalinflatable games. The sweetsmell of cotton candy enticedseveral young people to dig intothat sugary, pink confection.“This is way better than stay-

ing home and playing videogames,” 9-year-old Josiah Perezsaid, as he sat at a picnic tablewith his mom and siblings,munching on sweets.His mom, Vanessa, said the

day’s activity was a nice way tospend time with family while hermilitary husband is in the field.The Perez family moved toJBLM from Hawaii but is origi-nally from Texas.“We like it here, but the weath-

er is a little dark and gloomy,”she said. “We (recently) watchedthe movie, ‘The Creature fromthe Black Lagoon’ together andnow the kids are looking forwardto going in the lake.”Several young people and

parents seemed to enjoy boatingactivities. Josiah’s brothers,Jeremiah, 8, and Joseph, 10, andsister, Tanya, 11, all said theywere enjoying the festival.“Everything is really fun — the

lake, the food, everything,”Tanya said.Canadian Army exchange

officer, Maj. Scott LeBlanc ofHeadquarters and HeadquartersBattalion, I Corps, brought hiswife, Rachel, and their fourchildren to the event. Rachel isexpecting the family’s fifth childin February.Each of their three boys took a

turn paddling a kayak with theirdad. Luke, 4, was quick to takeback his cotton candy from hisbrother after Abigail Crosby,manager at the Northwest Ad-venture Center, helped the boyout of the kayak when his turnon the water with dad was done.Gabriel, 6, relinquished the

cotton candy and jumped intothe kayak in Luke’s place.

“OK, when I say left, go left,”LeBlanc said, as he showedGabriel how to use the child’spaddle in a rhythm with his ownpaddle.

Despite some gray clouds anda few sprinkles throughout theday, the event was a success forall involved.“It beats a day in the office,

for sure,” Crosby said.There was no question Mick-

eyla Morales, 2, was having ablast as the toddler’s mom,Belkys Morales, carried 5-month-old sister, Kamilla, in afront carrying wrap and helpedMickeyla place her feet on theclimbing rock wall.Mickeyla was connected to a

harness and thick metal wirerope, so there was no danger ofher falling as she placed herhands on small stones andclimbed higher and higher, onlygetting to about 4 feet off theground before giggling and let-ting go so she could swing awayfrom the rock on the wire.“She’s been wanting to do this

all day since she saw the otherchildren climbing,” her momsaid.The Morales family, including

dad, Sgt. 1st Class Mickel Moral-es, moved to DuPont in Aprilfrom Fort Drum, N.Y. AlthoughMorales wasn’t able to attend thefestival, his wife and childrenand the family’s 9-year-old yor-kie, Chiki, attended the event.Hayden Brown, 9, of Las Ve-

gas, attended Lakefest with hergrandpa, Rupert Brown. TheBrowns were on base helpingrelocate family members whoalso moved to JBLM recentlyfrom Fort Drum, N.Y. Haydensaid she had no fear as sheclimbed quickly and steadily upthe rock wall during the event.“It’s kinda easy,” she said

with a big smile, as she stealthilymade her way back down to theground. “I’m not afraid ofheights like my grandpa is. Now,I’m hungry; I want cottoncandy.”

YMCA a couple years ago andthey teach you CPR, first aid,and how to clear an airway,”Jourdan said. “I’m thankful itdidn’t get to a point where I’dhave to perform CPR.”The whole incident happened

in less than a minute, Lowerysaid.“It was scary that I couldn’t

catch my breath,” Lowery said.“I’m thankful that he was there

and able to help me. I think themindset is that you think thiswill never happen to you, until ithappens.”Having been certified by the

Red Cross in CPR, Jourdan saidhe felt calm and confident in thesituation.“My certification might be

expired, but I still rememberwhat to do and when the timecomes to use it I remember thesteps,” Jourdan said. “I perform-ed the Heimlich maneuver andgave her two to three pumpsright above the belly button andshe coughed up the food.”

In events like this not every-one responds the same andkeeping calm is important, Jour-dan said.“It’s either fight, flight or

freeze,” Jourdan said. “In thosemoments, I was just fighting. Iacted as soon as the opportunitypresented itself.”Not an everyday occurrence,

this was not the first time Jour-dan performed life-saving careto someone. In 2015, Jourdanwas inner-tubing with friendswhen he came across an in-dividual experiencing heat ex-haustion. He immediately began

to treat for shock and cared forhim until paramedics couldarrive.“I was talking to him the

whole time trying to keep himconscious,” Jourdan said.“I put him in the shade and hadhim squeeze my finger so Iwould know when he was pass-ing in and out of conscious-ness.”The individual Jourdan treat-

ed had been drinking the nightbefore, hadn’t had much sleepnor eaten, was dehydrated andwas drinking at the time of theincident.

“It was 100 degrees out andhe had been throwing up prior topassing out,” Jourdan said. “Hecould have experienced a heatstroke if not treated.”His training and natural in-

stincts kicked-in for both sit-uations, Jourdan said.“The whole time I was a life-

guard, I never had to save any-body,” Jourdan said. “Any sit-uation can go from normal tohorrible in seconds, and it’simportant to be prepared toreact when you notice the in-dicators of potentially lifethreatening factors.”

RESCUE

Base Lewis-McChord. “TeamGrinston” includes Grinston, hiswife, Alexandra, and the cou-ple’s two daughters — Sophia,15, and Isabella, 13.“He inspires; he is the stan-

dard and the leader that every-one wants to be,” said Lt. Gen.Gary Volesky, I Corps com-manding general, as he de-scribed Grinston’s passion forservice and leadership.During an award ceremony

before the change of commandceremony, Volesky joked abouthis own visit to JBLM in Marchprior to taking command of I

Corps. That’s when he first metGrinston, who at the time sug-gested, “Let’s go for a run,”according to Volesky.What started as a 3-mile run

turned out to be more than 4miles.“Sergeant Major Grinston

pushes you to exceed your ownlimits,” Volesky said.Volesky said he expects Grin-

ston’s leadership at his nextassignment to benefit and“make the whole Army better.”Grinston is next headed to

Fort Bragg, N.C., where he willbe the command sergeant majorfor the U.S. Armed Forces Com-mand.Grinston brings 30 years of

military service that includesleadership ranging from a can-

non crew member to commandsergeant major.Volesky also had high praise

for Tagalicud, with whom heserved with previously, he said,while the two were deployedfighting the Taliban in Afghan-istan.“He’s exactly the right leader

— at the right time, at the rightplace,” Volesky said.Tagalicud also has 30 years of

military service, with a variety ofleadership positions at: FortCarson, Colo.; Fort Clayton,Panama; Fort Dix, N.J.; FortPolk, La.; U.S. Army RecruitingBattalion, Tampa, Fla.; FortBragg, N.C.; Fort Richardson,AK; Fort Knox and Fort Camp-bell, Ky.; and Fort Stewart, Ga.Tagalicud’s education in-

cludes all levels of the Non-commissioned Officers Educa-tion System, including attend-

ance at the U.S. Army SergeantsMajor Academy. He’s a graduateof Ranger, Recruiting, InstructorCourse, Jumpmaster, Airborneand Air Assault. He and hiswife, Carolyn, have two daugh-ters.During the JBLM change of

responsibility ceremony, Grin-ston read from the “U.S. ArmySoldier’s Creed.” He sharedhow that list of values and ex-pectations has influenced hislife throughout his years ofservice, to live with loyalty, duty,respect, selfless service, honor,integrity and personal courage.He also shared one of the

most important aspects of hislife: “I am the luckiest guy in theworld,” he said. “I am Sophiaand Isabella’s dad.”

BY DEAN SIEMONNorthwest GuardianLAKEWOOD — The 10th

annual Purple Heart Golf Tour-nament Saturday at the Amer-ican Lake Veterans Golf Coursein Lakewood is a two-part mis-sion for golf course generalmanager Bruce McKentry.There’s the passion he and

several others have for supportingthe volunteer-operated golfcourse. As a two-time recipient ofthe Purple Heart, McKentry con-siders the course a labor of love.

After supporting a number oflocal veteran needs for the firstnine years of the tournament —including a three-year span ofraising $97,000 for the Home-less Veterans Program — thetournament is also intended toraise the necessary money for anew greens mower for thecourse.“It’s a great thing for me to

have this tournament to help theveterans make this golf coursewhatever they need it to be,”McKentry said.

McKentry is a retired Armylieutenant colonel who lastserved with the Training andDoctrine Command out of JointBase Lewis-McChord in 1991.The former helicopter pilot waswounded twice in 1972 duringthe Vietnam War — once in thesummer and again that winter.In 2002, he began working

with a local chapter of the Mil-itary Order of the Purple Heart.Over the years, he climbed theranks to Washington state com-mander and served as the na-tional commander from 2012 to2013. His national commandercoin rests in the concrete of the

Purple Heart memorial con-structed next to the first holetee-box of the American LakeVeterans Golf Course in2014.McKentry is just one of many

people who help keep the courseoperating for the military com-munity.“We have no paid employ-

ees,” he said. “We have morethan 200 people who maintainand manage the course on adaily basis.”The American Lake Veterans

Golf Course has seen severalchanges since first opening in1956 when it was managed un-der the Veterans Affairs PugetSound Health Care System onAmerican Lake.In 1995, the VA main office

decided to no longer fund golf

courses on VA properties. That’swhen a nonprofit organizationcalled the Friends of the Amer-ican Lake Veterans Golf Coursestepped in to continue to pro-vide a therapeutic activity thatmany veterans find relaxing.Improvements have been

made over the years, includingthe addition of nine new holesdesigned by legendary golferJack Nicklaus. Golfers can thankformer board member Ken Still,a former PGA golfer whoteamed with Nicklaus in the1969 Ryder Cup.“He’s the one who called Jack

and told him the veterans needhis help,”McKentry said. “Itwas a big boost to our golfcourse and to our veterans.”The annual membership for

the American Lake VeteransGolf Course grew from 250 tomore than 500 after the “Nick-laus Nine” opened in June oflast year. There’s a lot of excite-ment around the future of the

course as it expects to redo theoriginal nine holes based onanother Nicklaus design,McKentry said.With that in mind, the golf

course needs money to continueto improve play for the militarycommunity it serves. The PurpleHeart Gold Tournament Sat-urday is open to a maximumregistration of 36 four-personteams for a four-person scram-ble format. Teams can sign-up atthe clubhouse at 9600 VeteransDrive in Lakewood, or call253-589-1998 for more informa-tion.The course is generally open

to only service members, reti-rees, veterans, family membersand their guests, but the PurpleHeart Golf Tournament is a rareopportunity for anyone in thegeneral public to play on thecourse.

fifth Department of Defense golfcourse to do so.While several participants

came out for a round of golf, theevent also served as an educa-tional tool.“There’s a lot of good work

that sometimes goes unadver-tised,” said Cathy Hamilton-Wissmer, of the Directorate ofPublic Works’ sustainable pro-gram on JBLM.A lot of the sustainable efforts

at both golf courses on JBLMhave been through partnershipsbetween DPW and JBLM’s Fam-ily and Morale, Welfare andRecreation. Topics coveredincluded the use of propane-powered mowers that reducedair pollution and the forest eco-system restoration that startedin 2015.All of these efforts have three

main criteria to meet beforethey are implemented on eitherEagles Pride or Whispering Firs.“It needs to improve play,

reduce costs and help improveour environmental steward-ship,” said David Wienecke,JBLM golf course environmentalmanager.One of the major efforts that

started about five years ago wasthe soil biota study on EaglesPride. This was partly funded bythe installation and also byWestern Washington GolfCourse Superintendents Associ-ation, which also had repre-sentation at the environmentalsummit.

In three different spots on thegolf course, the in-house made“black gold” compost, sand anda mixture of both were placed inplots of land — about 72 in total.The focus of the study has beento look at cost and labor effi-ciencies of replacing the com-post with chemicals some golfcourses have used in the past.The study has been led by

Nathan Stacey, a graduate as-sistant at Washington StateUniversity’s Research and Ex-tension Center in Puyallup.While they are still working on

analyzing all of the data collect-ed from soil samples, the soilthat has received the compostmixture has seen an increase inits volumetric water content.“Meaning that there is more

water in the (soil) system,” Sta-cey said. “As you add organicmatter, it will hold more water.”That means it could reduce

irrigation-related costs, butthere could be some concernswith oversaturation that couldeasily turn the ground into whatStacey described as “a muck.”The field for the golf tourna-

ment included a combination ofservice members, veterans whoare regulars at the courses andsuperintendents from civiliangolf courses throughout the area.“We try that as superintend-

ents of golf courses,” said MikeGoldsberry, superintendent ofWing Point Golf and CountryClub in Bainbridge Island. “Partof what we do is being stewardsof the land.”Technical Sergeant Matthew

Thomas and Senior AirmanNino Vaccaro — both of the62nd Maintenance Squadron —

were among the first to tee offfrom the recently remodeled14th and 15th holes.Eagles Pride’s entire blue

course was closed to renovationto improve the storm watersystem through a permit by theEnvironmental Protection Agen-cy.“Sustainability is important;

now that we’re seeing it andliving it, it’s really cool,” Vacca-ro said.

member-nations makes it thelargest military organization inthe world and the second largestmultisport organization after the

International Olympic Commit-tee, organizing approximately20 Military World Champion-ships in 26 different sports peryear.The Armed Forces Sports

program sets up tournamentssuch as this to encourage andarrange ways for U.S. servicemembers to engage with CISMmember nations. The United

States joined CISM in 1951 andis currently one of its most ac-tive members, hosting similarevents one to two times everyyear.As service members and ath-

letes, the participants representthe highest level of militaryathletic competitiveness. It iscommon for the athletes to alsobe renowned as Olympians and

world champions.With the tournament at an

end, the teams shared one moreday together during a culturaltrip to St. Augustine, Fla., June10, providing another positiveway for the players from partici-pating nations to connect.Players and coaches returned

W hether you are want-ing to see the majes-tic snow-cappedOlympic Mountains

on a sunny day or spend sometime bicycling or driving aroundon Vashon Island, the Washing-ton State Ferry System offersways to see and enjoy much ofthe region’s natural and commu-nity beauty.

Much of western Washingtonis close enough to enjoy PugetSound waterways and the stateferry system as well as the KingCounty Water Taxi, providingopportunities to glide acrossthose area waters for an in-teresting family or individualouting for a small fee.The Tacoma to Vashon trip is

a good way to, proverbially, getyour feet wet on local ferry trips.It begins at the Point Defiance

Park Terminal and transportsyou, or your vehicle and you, toTahlequah, Vashon Island for afee. The service runs about ev-ery hour throughout the day andevening, so there’s plenty ofopportunities to explore Vashonbefore your return trip.The ferry system also offers a

variety of trips to: Anacortes,Sydney, British Columbia and


Passengers aboard both the Seattle to Bainbridge Island ferry and Seattle to Bremerton ferry have a spectacular view of the Olympic Mountains during their short commutes.

cluding schedules and fare, visitwsdot.wa.gov/ferries.If you’d like a short ferry ride

between West Seattle’s SeacrestDock and the downtown Seattlearea, at Pier 50, the King Coun-ty Water Taxi run by King Coun-ty Metro is your best bet. Thewater taxi also has service toAlki Beach, for about $5 eachway.The main difference between

the water taxi service and thestate ferry service is the watertaxis are smaller vessels andonly offer service for people andbicycles; whereas, for a fee, thestate ferries also accommodatevehicles.The King County Water Taxi

had a ridership of more than380,000 riders in 2016. Thehighest number of riders boardbetween June and August —between 45,000 and 62,000people ride in each of thosemonths. The water taxi operatesmost days except holidays.The water taxi operates two

fairly new vessels: the MV DocMaynard, built in 2015 at a costof $6.25 million, and the King-ston a catamaran that holds upto 145 passengers, captain, crewand up to 16 bicycles. The DocMaynard is named after an earlySeattle pioneer. That 104-footlong vessel can carry up to 278passengers and has a large ca-pacity for bicycle storage.The Spirit of Kingston is a

65-foot long vessel that wasbuilt in Bellingham, Wash., andwas acquired in recent years bythe King County Ferry Districtas an eight-year-old vesselthrough an agreement with theFederal Transit Administrationfor the West Seattle/downtown

Seattle route.The water taxi used to only

sail during the spring and sum-mer months, April to October,but has been a yearround oper-ation since 2010. There’s been aferry system in place linkingWest Seattle to the downtownarea since 1888. West Seattle isconsidered the city’s oldestneighborhood, according to thewater taxi website.The water taxi also has a Seat-

tle to Vashon Island trip for$6.25 per person — children andadults. Children ages 5 andyounger are free. That’s about a30 minute ride. And, as with theWashington State Ferries, it’sfree to bring along your bicycle.There’s a planned 10-day

shutdown of the water taxi inearly August this year in order tomove the Pier 50 float from thesouth end of the Coleman Dock

to the north end, near Ivar’sAcres of Clams, during reno-vation of that dock. Riders alsoneed to be aware that water taxiridership likely will be high inAugust due to that renovationand its affects on buses and buspassengers in that area, accord-ing to a Seattle Times reportearlier this month.The new water taxi terminal

will have a weather-protectedterminal and a pedestrian bridgeto the adjacent WashingtonState Ferries terminal, accordingto the Times’ report. Plannedservice of the water taxi fromSeattle to Kitsap County andBremerton also are expected tobe added next month.Although the water taxi’s

West Seattle to Seattle route hasbeen around so long that itscaptains and crew can make it aquick trip, there is still sufficient

time for passengers to take ad-vantage of the many spectacularphoto opportunities on a clear

day. For more information aboutthe King County Water Taxi,visit kingcountyferries.org.
