Air station’s new ombudsman a veteran Navy wifeBY TRICE DENNYSouthernmost Flyer

Naval Air Station Key West’s new ombuds-man, Michelle Hagge,

is no stranger to the stresses of military family life. She and her husband, ETC (SW) Duane Hagge of NAS Key West’s Ground Electronics Maintenance Division, have been together since before he joined the Navy 13 years ago.

“I would like to think that having my knowledge - from being there through boot camp to my husband becom-ing a chief - will help if some-one has a question. I’ve been there, done that, got the T-shirt,” Michelle said, laughing. “The questions aren’t new, and

They are volunteers appointed by the commanding officer, and as an official command repre-sentative, the ombudsman is a point of contact for all fam-ily members connected to the command - including spous-es, parents and extended fam-ily members.

Waiting for the best

There is a restaurant called Blue Heaven in downtown Key West. It

is known for its dining atmo-sphere and came highly rec-ommended to us for its break-fast. So I took my wife, brother and sister-in-law down to enjoy a breakfast banquet outdoors among the trees, roosters and cats. The food was great, as was the com-pany and atmosphere.

Great food and fellowship come in social gatherings no matter the location or cuisine. Recently I attended a potluck with RVers at Sigsbee. Every one brought a different dish and I could not help but sam-ple them all.

These times of fellowship bring us together and out of our isolation. We become community. This time of year reminds me of the special-ness of Thanksgiving; gath-ering together to share with one another. It reminds me of church potlucks I attended

growing up and an illustration about waiting for the best.

The story goes like this:There was a woman with a

terminal illness and only three months to live. She contact-ed her pastor as she got her affairs in order and told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what outfit she wanted to be buried in. The woman also requested to be buried with her favorite Bible.

Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to

leave when the woman sud-denly remem-bered some-thing very important to her.

“There’s one more thing,” she said excit-edly. “What’s that?” the pas-tor replied.

“This is very important,” the woman continued. “I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.” The pastor stood looking at the woman, not knowing quite what to say.

“That surprises you, doesn’t it?” the woman asked. “Well, to be honest, I’m puzzled by the request,” said the pastor.

The woman explained, “In all my years of attending church socials and potluck dinners, I always remember that when the dishes of the main course were being cleared, someone would inevitably lean over and say, ‘Keep your fork.’ It was my favorite part because I knew that something better was coming...like velvety chocolate cake or deep-dish apple pie. Something wonderful, and with substance! So, I just want people to see me there in that casket with a fork in my hand and I want them to wonder ‘What’s with the fork?’ Then I want you to tell them: ‘Keep your fork - the best is yet to come.’”

Psalms 23:5 says, “He pre-pares a table for me…” The Good Shepherd has something more for us in this life and the life to come even when we are walking through dark and lonely times.

You are invited to a com-munity of worship Sunday at 10 a.m. at the Truman Annex Chapel where we continue looking at the 23rd Psalm.

BBC hosts ice cream for SuperbeesBY MC2 RACHEL MCMARRSouthernmost Flyer

Balfour Beatty Communities (BBC) hosted an ice cream

social Nov. 6 for Sigsbee Elementary School students in the school cafeteria on Naval Air Station Key West’s Sigsbee Park.

The treat was a way for BBC to reward the students after they completed a heart-felt task. The students each wrote letters, drew pictures or made a card for a service member overseas in honor of National Make a Difference Day.

“We were thrilled that the kids took part of this,” said BBC Assistant Manager Blaine Cleckley about the letters. “We wanted to give something back to them as well.”

BBC Resident Specialist Jennifer Shellito gave the idea to the school, and she said the school took it to heart.

“There was a huge response,”

said Shellito. “It was great.”More than 150 students cre-

ated something to send to a service member overseas.

“Most of them come from military families, so the thought of missing someone in the armed services is very familiar to them,” said Elli Riley, a second grade teacher.

Riley said the tricky part about getting the children to write letters was the heading, as many of the children want-ed to make it personal.

“If they’re from a Navy fam-ily they want it to go to Navy, Coast Guard to Coast Guard, and so on,” Riley said, laugh-ing. “We ended up deciding on ‘Dear Friend.’”

At the social some of the children showed off their cre-ations and got their own bowl full of ice cream, sprinkles and chocolate.

Zahira, one student who wrote a letter, said she wrote it because of how she admires service members.

“I wrote it to a Soldier because they save people and I like what they do,” she said.

BBC has also teamed with Fleet and Family Support Center Individual Augmentee Coordinator Erika Dennison,

who helped mail the letters.“Key West is a special place,”

said Shellito. “When Key West comes together, great things happen.”

National Make a Difference Day is an event to encourage helping others and to celebrate neighbors helping neighbors. The annual event takes place on the fourth Saturday of every October.

Balfour Beatty Communities (BBC) Regional Director Paula Cooke dishes out chocolate syrup to Sigsbee Elementary School students Nov. 6 during an ice cream social in the caf-eteria of the school on Naval Air Station Key West’s Sigsbee Park. BBC hosted the social for the students as a treat for creating more than 150 letters, cards and pictures for service members stationed overseas in honor of National Make a Difference Day.

“What’s most important is that she is there for the fami-lies and serves as a two-way conduit between the families and the base for any matter they want to discuss,” Holmes said. “She brings a wealth of experience and is eager to continue the outstanding program that Amanda Smith has handed to her.”

Hagge’s husband said he thinks that Michelle is a per-fect fit for the job.

“Michelle’s experience as a Navy wife and mother will help her to serve as ombudsman because she’s faced the prob-lems life throws at you, such as raising three kids with her husband on deployment, or handling the family bills and finances by herself,” he said. It isn’t easy and she’s learned to use Navy programs and resources to help her along the way. There are an enormous amount of programs available through the Navy to help fami-lies. She’s had the training and experience to know what is available and where to turn

for help.”Hagge and her husband

have been stationed in Great Lakes, Ill., Virginia Beach, Va., and arrived in Key West in July. During their time in Virginia, their family made it through four deployments and a shore duty tour, but Michelle said that shore duty can have its own unique stresses on mili-tary family life.

“When your husband or wife is on a ship, it’s a cycle,” she said. “The ship comes in and goes out. On shore duty, spous-es are home much more, so I get questions like, ‘Gosh, when is he going to deploy again?’”

Much like when a spouse retires and is home a lot, it can disrupt a family routine, she said.

“Of course, there are other stressors on shore, like duty days or watches,” she added. “Being in the Navy is a hello, goodbye and a hug. If you don’t have that type of relationship, it will be hard to handle.”

Hagge and her family are in the process of moving to Sigsbee Park and two of their three children attend Sigsbee Elementary School. She said that she looks forward to the

community atmosphere at the housing area and she has very specific ideas about what military families can do during their tours.

“I think military fami-lies aren’t transient, they are locals,” she stated. “They live here, use the same resources as locals and participate in the community.”

Hagge said that that during her turnover with Smith, she read many e-mails of fami-lies coming here asking about volunteering or community service. Michelle said would use that information to help foster the sense of being a local by helping military fami-lies become not just part of the military community down here, but part of the commu-nity outside the gate as well.

Hagge, whose motto is “It is what it is,” said she looks for-ward to being an ombudsman and wants to be able to help anyone who needs it.

“I like to be involved,” she said. “You’ll see me around and if you do, ask me a ques-tion. It doesn’t matter if I’m with my family or not. And if I don’t know the answer, I will find it for you.”

Turkey safetyThawing safely in the refrigerator

Thaw the turkey in its original wrap on a tray placed in the bottom section of the refrig-erator. Allow about 24 hours of defrost time for every 5 pounds of turkey. Example: a 20 pound turkey will take 4 to

5 days to thaw. Do not thaw on the counter. Thawing at room temperature increases the risk of bacteria growth. At room temperature, bacteria on the turkey can grow rapid-ly when the outside portion of the bird begins to thaw. These bacteria can multiply to dan-gerously high levels produc-ing toxins that cooking may not destroy.

Thawing in cold waterThawing in cold water is safe

too. Submerge the bird in its wrapper in a deep sink of cold water and change the water every 30 minutes to keep it cold. Allow 30 minutes per

pound to defrost a turkey in cold water. Do not use warm or hot water.

Microwave thawingMicrowave thawing is another option. Make sure your micro-wave oven is large enough to hold the turkey especially if the oven has a rotating tray. Check manufacturer’s instruc-tions for the size turkey that will fit into your oven. Caution: Microwave defrosting is irregular, creating hot spots, which may encourage bacte-rial growth. Cook the turkey immediately after defrosting. Do not store in the refrigerator for cooking later.

Stay Fit Studio Amy Spielburg are currently working with Smith to change her lifestyle for the better by teaching her proper eating habits and work-out routines.

Smith, a mother of two, is five feet 9 inches tall and weighed 240 pounds. She drank soda all day long and snacked on chips pretzels and ice cream, rarely eating fruits or vegetables.

“The reason we selected Leigh is because she was moti-vated to change but she didn’t know how to go about doing that,” said Wilson. “Many of the others knew what they needed to do but just lacked the motivation.”

On Nov. 2 Smith cleaned out all of the junk food that littered her cabinets. The next day she was joined by Shields at the

commissary on Sigsbee Park to restock them. She filled her cart with fresh fruits and veg-etables many of which Smith had never even tried.

With all of the pressure to lose weight Smith has decided not to set any goals for weight-loss during the challenge.

“I don’t want to set a goal and

risk disappointing myself,” she said. “I just want to do as good as I can and worry about the results later, but I guarantee that I am going to lose weight

and hopefully a lot of it.”According to Smith, her hus-

band, Sgt. 1st Class Matt Smith has been trying to help her with the transition into a healthier lifestyle.

“My husband has been so supportive of me,” she said. “He has been eating all the healthy foods I have to.”

When the challenge is over Nov. 30, she plans on taking full advantage of the free military gyms located on Sigsbee Park and Boca Chica Field.

“It’s a great benefit,” said Smith. “I live so close to the gym on Sigsbee that I could just hop on a bike and go any time.”

Until then she says she is going to take the challenge one day at a time and hopefully when it is all over she will have changed her life forever.

To follow Smith’s progress, go to www.30daystohelpyourself.com and www.facebook.com/30daystohelpyourself.

BY KRISTINE M. STURKIENEXCOM PAO

This holiday season, customers can expect to find the best brands

at the best buys at their local NEX.

“Heading into our second holiday season with uncer-tainty over the economy, our NEXs continue to be sensitive to our customers’ needs for the best value when making purchases,” said Tess Paquette, Senior Vice President, Chief Merchandising Officer, Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM). “Our most recent annual pricing survey proves that we save customers an average of 23 percent over other retailers on top of no sales tax. These are significant savings customers can expect to see when they shop at the NEX through the holidays.”

NEXs offer a wide variety of items in all price ranges including prestige brands, national mass brands and pri-vate brands.

“There are a lot of stores that offer best brands and many

that offer best buys, but only the NEX offers both,” said Paquette. “We are extremely aware of our customer-base … from retirees with two incomes to enlisted personnel living on one income. We want our customers to know that the NEX carries merchandise in all prices ranges. So, no matter what their economic circum-stance, we have something to fit their budget.”

Additionally, NEX’s have a price matching guarantee pol-icy that ensures the best value on merchandise. The NEX will match the price of any identi-cal in-stock item sold locally - same brand, manufacturer, size and model number.

The price match policy gives the NEX the flexibility to accept verbal price challenges based on a customer’s word that a local competitor’s price is lower. Price differences up to $5 will be honored on the spot at any NEX cash register. A price difference over $5 will require model and price veri-fication by a store supervisor. Customers are asked to have a copy of the current, local

competitor’s ad for the identi-cal item being priced. Bring a competitor’s sales flyer to the NEX showing the price differ-ence on a specific item and the NEX will match the price on the spot. However, depending on the dollar amount, approv-al by a supervisor or the store manager may be required.

Overseas, NEXs also accept price challenges on items sold at local retailers. NEXs over-seas will also match prices from catalog and Internet sites from JC Penney, Wal-Mart and Sears. Freight charges, if appli-cable, will be added to com-petitor’s retail price.

The NEX also offers a 14-day Price Guarantee on any item originally purchased from the NEX. If the identical item is offered at a lower price by the NEX or a local competitor within 14 days of purchase, the customer is entitled to a refund on the difference. Customers are required to bring a copy of the advertisement and receipt to the NEX customer service counter.

For customers who choose to purchase holiday gifts with a credit card, the Military Star® Card, the military exchang-es in-house credit card is a great option for added sav-ings. Among the card’s many benefits are a lower interest rate than many other retail credit cards, 10 percent off

the first day’s purchases (up to the customer’s credit limit) for new card holders, 24-hour Customer Service including online access, zero-percent interest promotions and no annual fee.

In addition, the Military Star® card has a reduced interest rate program for qual-ifying Navy and Marine Corps personnel. Monthly payments are waived and interest rates are reduced for account hold-ers through the duration of an assignment over 90-days to a contingency area.

“We want our custom-ers to make wise purchas-ing decisions based on their own financial situation,” said Paquette. “Using credit for purchases isn’t for everyone, but for those who choose to use credit, we encourage look-ing into the favorable inter-est rate and benefits of the Military Star® Card.”

For customers who prefer not to use credit, the NEX offers a layaway program. A minimum deposit of 10 per-cent of the purchase price plus a $5 non-refundable lay-away fee is all that is required. Once all payments are made, customers can bring the mer-chandise home. Depending on the category of merchan-dise purchased, payments can be spread over 180 days. Customers are encouraged

to check with their local NEX for other specific details relat-ing to layaway as some stores may limit the number of items permitted on layaway due to space constraints.

In addition to the value gained from shopping the NEX, customers also benefit from the quality of life contri-butions to Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR). In 2008, that amount totaled over $45 million.

“As a quality of life resource for the Navy, the NEX is very aware of the sacrifices and challenges faced by our Sailors and their families, especially in a challenging economic envi-ronment,” said Paquette. “We have a dual mission to both provide our customers with quality goods and services at a savings as well as provide dividends to MWR. I think we do a good job of balancing both parts of our mission to ensure we provide the best to our customers.”

Sigsbee Elementary School’s Annual Fall Festival was all that and more for students and their families Nov. 6. The fall festival is one of the school’s largest fund raising proj-ects of the year. Not only does Sigsbee benefit from the money raised, but the carnival-like atmosphere strengthens neighborhood and school ties among families.

FROM USS NEW YORK (LPD 21) PUBLIC AFFAIRS

USS New York (LPD 21), the fifth San Antonio-class amphibious

transport dock, built with steel salvaged from the World Trade Center, was commis-sioned in New York City Nov. 7 in a ceremony held in the shadow of the city for which it is named.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, a former New York senator, was the keynote speaker for the ceremony.

“This ship carries with it sear-ing memories of September 11,” said Clinton. “Lives cut short, families ripped apart, a nation attacked. And in that steel, burned but unbroken, lives the spirit we saw on 9/11 and the days that followed, the bravery of the rescuers, the resolve of the survivors, the compassion of this city, the patriotism of this great country.”

Calling USS New York a sym-bol of freedom similar to the Statue of Liberty, Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus explained how this ship will be a reminder of all New York and the nation went through on September 11th.

“Today, we witness the birth of another memorial to lib-erty. Eight years ago, this city witnessed the worst atrocities committed against our coun-try. The New York will be a visi-ble testimony to our resilience, to the character of this city, to the strength of this country,” said Mabus.

Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead spoke to the ship’s future and what it will mean to Americans through the years.

“Wherever she sails in the next 40 years...USS New York will forever conjure the valor, the sacrifice, the heroism and the tenacity of New York,” said Roughead.

New York Governor David Paterson called the day “a great day for America, a great

day for New York and a great day for everyone who believes in freedom and justice.”

USS New York, the sixth Navy ship named for the state, was built at Avondale Shipyard in New Orleans by Northrop Grumman and christened March 1, 2008. The ship arrived in New York Nov. 2 and rendered honors at the World Trade Center site before pull-ing into Pier 88 on the Hudson River.

Thousands of veterans and invited guests witnessed the ceremony, which was also broadcast live in Times Square and on the Navy.mil Web site. The commissioning was the culmination of a week-long celebration of the Navy and Marine Corps team and the ship in New York City.

New York is an amphibi-ous transport dock designed to transport Marines and their equipment. It will be used to support the nation’s maritime strategy, to include humanitar-ian assistance and maritime security operations. The ship’s homeport will be in Norfolk, Va.
