W h a t a r e y o u D o i n g t o S e c u r e y o u r F u t u r e ?Hola Team Rota. Next week is Military Saves Week. So I will ask you, what are you doing to secure your future? There are many ways to save and there are great people at the Fleet and Family Service Center

and Navy Federal Credit Union to help you reduce debt, increase wealth and create a financial plan. Take advantage of these resources and save some money for that rainy day or unforeseen emergency.

Everybody is dif-ferent in how they save. Some just put money away

in the bank, while others may be a bit more aggressive and invest in stocks and bonds. However, since the economic downturn, many may be a little skittish in buying stocks and bonds, but banks and credit unions offer certificates of deposits that are decent and offer a higher interest rate than a normal savings account. The bottom line is you should be saving something.

Think about it. Instead of going out and buying that second six-pack, or taking all that loose change laying around and going out, why not put it to good use and let it earn some interest towards your retirement.

If you are planning to get out of the military, (don’t fool yourself, at some point, we all have to get out,) you should have at least six months of savings to last until you get settled in and get a job. And if you are going to be using your Post 9/11 G.I. Bill, it does take a bit for your benefits to kick in.

If you are thinking about purchasing a home, hous-ing prices continue to fall in some places. Is it the right time for you to buy? I don’t know, but it is something a financial specialist at the FFSC or Navy Federal can help you make the right decision.

While my last article was telling you to go out and travel and this one is telling you to save money, don’t take it the wrong way. You can still get out and see the sights without breaking the bank. There are great bar-gain airlines and hotel sights, and even Morale, Welfare and Recreation that can help you save a few bucks in your travel plans.

For those that want to stay in, it is a great time to continue serving. But it is getting more competitive. While the economy is not as good as it was a couple of years ago, it is still not as strong as it was so more people are staying Navy which makes advancing a little more competitive. So what are you doing to make yourself more competitive? One way is to study for the spring 2010 advancement exam, which is com-ing up fast. Everyone who is eligible should be using this time to study and prepare themselves for the test. It doesn’t matter if you are up for 1st, 2nd or 3rd class petty officer; you can never be too prepared. Study with your shipmates, family or by yourself, do whatever works for you but STUDY! And if you have problems tracking down study materials ask your leadership and departmental or command career counselors for as-sistance.

Keep up the good work everybody, and keep your head on a swivel.

When to Turn Off Your Home Personal ComputersStory by cE1 (EXW) traviS harvEy

If you're wondering when you should turn off your home personal computer for energy savings, here are some general guidelines to help you make that decision.

Though there is a small surge in energy when a com-puter starts up, this small amount of energy is still less than the energy used when a computer is running for long periods of time. For energy savings and convenience, turn off the monitor if you aren't going to use your PC for more than 20 minute and both the CPU and monitor if you're not going to use your PC for more than two hours.

Make sure your monitors, printers, and other ac-cessories are on a power strip/surge protector. When this equipment is not in use for extended periods, turn

CMC'SCORNER

cmdcm (SW/aW) chuck Scavo

off the switch on the power strip to prevent them from drawing power even when shut off. If you don't use a power strip, unplug extra equipment when it's not in use.

Most PCs reach the end of their "useful" life due to advances in technology long before the effects of being switched on and off multiple times have a nega-tive impact on their service life. The less time a PC is on, the longer it will "last." PCs also produce heat, so turning them off reduces building cooling loads.

For cost effectiveness, consider how much your time is worth. If it takes a long time to shut down the computer and then restart it later, the value of your time will probably be much greater than the value of the amount of electricity you will save by turning off the computer multiple times per day.

NAVSTA Participating in Exercise Citadel ShieldStory by navSta rota Public affairS

Exercise Citadel Shield 2011 is a Com-mander Naval Installations Command -led exercise that is scheduled to be conducted on naval bases and instal-lations worldwide from Feb. 21-25. Naval Station Rota is scheduled to participate in the exercise Feb. 23.

Measures have been taken to mini-mize disruptions to normal base and sta-tion operations, but there may be times when the exercise causes increased traf-fic around base or delays in base access. Residents may also see increased secu-rity activity associated with the exercise.

“We will be trying to de-conflict these events as much as possible,” said NAVSTA’s Training Officer, Lt. Cmdr. Will Bassett. “We don’t plan on closing down any base facilities, but service members and family members may need to factor in extra time to their daily routines for traffic blocks or parking lot closures.”

The exercise is designed to enhance the training and readiness of Navy se-curity forces to respond to threats to installations and units. The exercise is not in response to any specific threat, but is a regularly-scheduled exercise.

NAVSTA Rota Commanding Of-ficer Capt. Bill Mosk said, “This is an excellent opportunity for our depart-ments and tenant commands to prac-tice their anti-terrorism/force protection procedures in a controlled environment.”

Navy Test Pilot Completes First F-35-C Flightby Joint StrikE fighgtEr itf Public affairS

PATUXENT RIVER, Md. (NNS) -- The carrier variant of the F-35 (CF-1) Joint Strike Fighter flew for the first time with a Navy test pilot at the controls Feb. 11.

Taking off at 2:06 p.m., Lt Cmdr. Eric "Magic" Buus flew the F-35C for ap-proximately two hours. Buus' first flight in the CF-1 checked the function of the flutter excitation system, which will help measure structural loads of the airframe during various flight maneuvers.

"The aircraft flew great for more than two hours with no issues. It's a really smooth, solid flying airplane and a joy to fly," said Buus. "This flight was a great milestone for me, personally, and more importantly, for the services during the 100 year anniversary of naval aviation. This airplane is going to give us a great leap in capability, and I'm looking forward to putting it through the demanding car-rier suitability tests required to ensure it's ready for the fleet."

The F-35C is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B variants with its larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear for greater control in the demanding carrier take-off and landing environment.

"Magic's flight today is a tremendous accomplishment for him and the test team, and a historic event for naval aviation," said Capt. Thomas Huff, com-modore of Naval Test Wing Atlantic. "The determination and thoroughness of test professionals across all our programs is shaped by the education and training they receive at the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School

and Test and Evaluation University, ensur-ing delivery of warfighting capability to Sailors and Marines."

Coincidentally timed with the kickoff of the Centennial of Naval Aviation in San Diego, this milestone represents the Na-vy's first hands-on experience in its future fighter aircraft with stealth capabilities.

The F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter program is in the system design

and development phase, focusing on delivering three different, new aircraft variants to the U.S. Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force.

The integrated test force at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., is focused on testing and evaluation of the F-35B and F-35C.

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Naval Air Station North Island, the "Birthplace of Naval Aviation," served as the location for the official kick off of the Centennial of Naval Aviation celebration, Feb. 12, as thousands of visitors attended a spe-cial Open House and Parade of Flight. The first successful hydroaeroplane flight took place at the base in 1911, just eight years after the famed 1903 Wright brother's flight in North Caro-lina. In 1911, the Navy began training its first pilots on the base. Twelve years later the base played host to the first non-stop transcontinental flight, and the first mid-air refueling, both in 1923. San Diego area CoNA celebrations include a series of events aimed to im-press the public, instill pride through-out the armed services, and honor the rich and colorful history of naval aviation during the past 100 years. "One hundred years ago naval aviation was on the heels of the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk," said Rear Adm. Pat McGrath, who led the CoNA effort. "Here in San Diego, experiments with 'hydroaeroplanes' set the stage for the flying machine to become an integral part of our Navy." The U.S. Navy flight demonstration team, the Blue Angels, led the "Parade of Flight" which included aircraft rang-ing from World War II, to present day fighter, attack and transport aircraft. The U.S. Navy parachute team, the Leapfrogs, also made an appearance. "The Leap Frogs are always great,"

said Gary Roald, who served on board the USS Ticonderoga during Vietnam. Roald said he enjoys air shows and has seen the Leap Frogs a number of times. Three ships were moored pier-side at the base for the public to tour; the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis, the amphibious assault ship USS Pele-liu and the guided-missile destroyer USS Pinckney. "It's been as challenging as it's been fun, keeping up with this many people," said Senior Chief Mass Communication Specialist (SW) Dan Smithyman, USS Peleliu public affairs officer. "The crew has done a great

job showing them around the ship and answering all their questions." Along with the ship tours there were more than 75 aircraft on static display for the public to view. There was a "Metal Mulisha" motorcycle stunt show, live stage entertainment, a classic car show and an area for children, complete with bounce houses and other inflatable entertainment. Commemorating 100 years of progress and achievement in naval aviation, CoNA is a year-long tribute to the scope of all naval aviation activi-ties including aircraft, people, ships, innovations and significant milestones.

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- A "Parade of Flight" including more than 180 vin-tage and modern era aircraft took to the skies above San Diego Feb. 12 as the highlight of the Centennial of Naval Aviation celebration at Naval Air Station North Island, Calif. The Parade of Flight, featuring aircraft ranging from World War II to the modern day jet era, concluded a day-long Open House at NASNI that was open to the general public. "I was hoping I'd get to see the T-28 and I was so happy to find it," said retired Aviation Machinist Mate 1st Class James Simpson, who worked on T-28 Trojans during his time in the Navy. "Seeing the T-28 makes me feel an awful lot of pride." Along with the parade of flight, more than 75 vintage and modern day aircraft were on static display on the flightline here with their pilots and aircrew nearby to answer questions. "It's absolutely fabulous to be able to take part in an event like this, celebrating 100 years of Naval Avia-tion," said Tom Woehl, a Vietnam Veteran who flew a Bell UH-1B Iro-quois "Huey" Gunship with the Army 282nd Helicopter Company during 1966 and 1967. "The kids really en-joy seeing the helicopter and seeing the old aircraft and things like that."

Naval Station Rota begins it’s annual Military Saves Week campaign Feb. 20 - 27. As part of the national America Saves campaign, the web-site Military Saves encourages service members to save money, reduce debt and to build a sufficient savings in case of emergency.

“If you have to buy that last-second plane ticket to see your family and it's not an emergency and you don’t have the money, what are you going to do?” said NAVSTA Rota Fleet and Family Support Center’s Work and Family Life Supervisor, Ralph Steinheimer. “You can use a credit card or the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, but it could take you a while to pay the money back if you already have financial trouble.”

Since Military Saves began in 2007, more than 75,000 individuals have en-rolled. This year’s theme is “Start with a Little.”

“This time of year can be very challeng-ing for some of our service members. It’s right after the holidays and right before tax time,” said NAVSTA Rota Commanding Officer Capt. Bill Mosk. “It can also be a wise opportunity for our people to focus now on personal finances by making realistic financial goals for their families, as well as managing smartly their day-to-day purchase to achieve those long-term goals.”

During Military Saves, leadership will continue to encourage service members on the importance of financial stability and to be aware of their financial situation.

“Take this time to encourage enroll-ment in savings-related military benefits

such as the Thrifts Saving Plan and the Saving Deposit Program,” said Deputy Under Secretary of Defense, Robert L. Gordon III. “The personal financial readiness of our Service members and their families directly supports mission readiness.”

TSP is a retirement savings plan for active duty and civilians who are, or previously were, employed by the United States government and is simi-lar to 401(K) plans. Only under certain circumstances, are contributors eligible

to access their TSP savings while still employed by the Federal Government.

For those individuals that have not de-veloped a basic budget, Steinheimer said start tracking your monthly spending and try to account for every dollar.

There are many participants at NAVS-TA Rota where service members can seek assistance regarding their current financial readiness. Service members can contact their Command Financial Specialists, FFSC, Navy Federal Credit Union or MWR, who are all participants

Bill Mosk signs the 2011 Military Saves Week Proclamation at the Navy Federal Credit Union as FFSC Family Life Supervisor Ralph Steinheimer and NFCU Branch Manager Carrie Lippmann watch. Since 2007, more than 75,000 service members have have made the commitment to save.

in Military Saves“We are here to provide financial guid-

ance to all members of the military,” said Command Financial Specialist Legalman 1st Class (SW) Sylvia Malone. “If you need help building a budget or need gen-eral information on how to save money, come see one of the command financial specialist.

MCPON: No Second Chances For Drug Abuse Story mc1 StEPhEn murPhy, dma-anacoStia

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON)(SS/SW) Rick D. West, released the following message on drug abuse, which focuses on "Spice," herbal products and other designer drugs, to the fleet, Feb. 11:

"Shipmates, There has been an alarming rise in the number of

Sailors who are choosing to use 'Spice,' herbal products and other so-called designer drugs; and this must come to an immediate stop.

More than 150 Sailors are currently being processed for 'Spice' use, possession or distribution, and this is UNSAT.

Overall, the Navy has separated 1,374 Sailors in FY09; 1,308 Sailors in FY10; and 302 Sailors during the first quarter of FY11, for drug abuse. These unexpected losses negatively affect our commands' manning levels, which in turn affects the commands' operational and warfighter readiness. The Navy's policy on drug abuse is simple and clear – zero tolerance, and there are no second chances.

NAVADMIN 108/10 states the following on drug abuse:

'Drug abuse includes the wrongful use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of a controlled substance. Drug abuse also includes the unlawful use of controlled substance analogues (designer drugs), natural sub-stances (e.g., fungi, excretions), chemicals (e.g., chemi-cals wrongfully used as inhalants), propellants and/or prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or pharmaceutical compounds with the intent to induce intoxication, excite-

ment, or stupefaction of the central nervous system, and will subject the violator to punitive action under the UCMJ and/or adverse administrative action.'

Some examples of substances mentioned above where the wrongful use constitutes drug abuse includes, but is not limited to the following:

- Products that contain synthetic cannabinoid com-pounds, such as "Spice," genie, blaze, dream, ex-ses, spark, fusion, dark knight, yukatan fire, and K2.

- Natural substances such as salvia divinorum and mushrooms.

- Common items abused by inhaling or huffing, such as Dust Off, glue, paint thinner and gasoline.

- Over-the-counter products such as Robitussin and Coricidin HBP.

- Prescription medications such as Oxycodone, Vico-din, Adderall, and Valium.

If you didn't know, 'Spice' is a mixture of natural herbs and synthetic cannabinoids, that when smoked, produce a marijuana-like 'high' that decreases motor skills, impairs coordination and concentration, and ef-fects short-term memory and senses. The effects of these substance is unpredictable when combined with alcohol, and since the chemical blends are continuously manipulated and the strength of the synthetic chemical used is unknown, there is no way to know what you are getting in the drugs nor what the long-term health risks are if used.

Some of the side effects from these drugs included uncontrolled vomiting, excessive sweating, flushed skin, increased heart rate and high blood pressure, and loss of consciousness. If this sounds like a good time to you, then go ahead and hand over your rank and paycheck,

and possibly your life. Bottom line: The use and even just the possession

of 'Spice,' herbal products, designer drugs, chemicals used for huffing, salvia divinorum, or products contain-ing synthetic cannabinoid compounds are prohibited. Leadership, along with Naval Criminal Investigative Service, is aggressively working to catch personnel who are possessing, using, or distributing drugs; and when you get caught, your career will be over.

Drug abuse goes against our Navy's core values and ethos, and it is a threat to lives, unit and mission readiness and morale. It is every Sailor's responsibility to deter drug abuse. If you do the crime, you will do the time … remember zero tolerance and no second chances.

HOOYAH!"

AF Officials Certify First Aircraft for Biofuel Usage

Story by maJ. richEllE doWdEll SEcrEtary of thE air forcE Public affairS

WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- The C-17 Globemaster III was recently certified for unlimited usage of hydroprocessed blended biofuels known as hydrotreated renewable jet fuels, officials said Feb. 9.

"This certification marks the Air Force's first platform to be fully certi-fied using an HRJ blend," said Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Energy Dr. Kevin Geiss. "This marks a significant achievement for the Air Force, our alternative fuel certification office and our partners in both industry and across the Department of Defense."

The certification for usage of HRJ biofuel blended with petroleum-based JP-8 fuel represents part of ongoing efforts by officials to certify and test biofuels from non-petroleum sources.

The move to certify the fleet using the HRJ blend of fuel represents the Air Force's commitment to assuring the supply, no matter the source, meets the service's required standards, and dem-onstrates the Air Force's commitment to reducing its dependency on foreign sources of oil, Dr. Geiss added.

"We're very proud of this certifica-

D e c r e a s e d Funding Reduces Orders TimelineStory by chiEf of naval PErSonnEl Public affairS

WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Citing the impact of reduced funding, Navy announced Feb. 8 that Sailors should expect to receive orders with shorter lead times and based on operational priority.

NAVADMIN 049/11 informed the Fleet of the impact to permanent change of station orders while operating under a continuing resolution, which is a Congres-sional budget authorization that allows for continuous normal operations while a final budget is approved.

"Due to the way resources are phased and allocated under a CR, Navy currently does not have sufficient funds in our man-power accounts to allow for normal lead times for Sailors to receive PCS orders," explained Chief of Naval Personnel Vice Adm. Mark Ferguson. "The measures we are taking are absolutely necessary in order to remain within budget. Our goal remains to mitigate the impact to Sailors and their families as funds become avail-able."

Navy Personnel Command's ability to release approximately 10,000 orders at the end of fiscal year 2010 minimized the impact of the CR until now. To date, NPC has received 40 percent less funding than planned and is currently releasing prior-ity orders for members with detachment dates between February and May 2011. Sailors detaching in the next few months who have not yet received orders will likely have less than two months lead time when the orders are released.

Navy has utilized this prioritization strategy in previous PCS funding-con-strained periods with the intent to mini-mize impact to Fleet readiness, career timing, and families. Emphasis will remain on global support assignment rotations, career milestone billets, critical readiness fills, minimizing gaps at sea for deployed units and those working up to deploy, and keeping the training pipelines moving.

Anticipating a heavy volume of Fleet questions and concerns, Navy leader-ship reminds the Fleet that the Sailor to detailer ratio is 1500:1 which means there may be a delay in response to individual questions.

When seeking more information on this topic, Sailors are asked start with the PCS "Frequently Asked Questions" on the NPC website at http://www.npc.navy.mil or to contact the NPC call center at 1-866-U-ASK-NPC (1-866-827-5672).

tion," said Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and Logistics Terry Yonkers. "By using a 'pathfinder' approach, we've taken the success of our processes developed in our previous alternative fuel certifica-tions work and learned how to efficiently streamline our HRJ certification efforts, while guaranteeing the fuel blend will work without notable difference to the pilots."

Yonkers added, unlike conventional jet fuel, biofuels burn cleaner without compounds like sulfur.

According to Jeff Braun, the Air Force's alternative fuel certification of-fice chief, the blended fuel evaluation that combined additional analyses from Boeing, Parker ESD and Pratt & Whit-ney resulted in no significant differences in engine stability, thrust response or engine steady-state performance.

This certification clears the C-17 to fly on a volumetric blend of up to 50 percent HRJ fuel with 50 percent JP-8, as well as a blend of 25 percent HRJ, 25 percent synthetic paraffinic kerosene fuel, and 50 percent JP-8, Braun said.

"We expect to conclude HRJ flight testing within the next 12 months, sup-porting fleetwide HRJ certification within the next 22 months," Braun said.

In addition, the ground and flight demonstrations performed by the Air Force flight test center confirmed nor-mal operations using the blended fuel, he said.

"When blended as we've done, this is a potential drop-in solution for jet fuel for our aircraft, requiring no modifica-tion to systems or special handling or monitoring," Braun said.

"The Air Force is seeking alternative fuels that are 'greener' than the existing petroleum fuels paradigm, but don't add to, or complicate, any logistical consid-erations for our jet fuel needs, and have the potential to be cost-competitive," Yonkers said. "And HRJ blended fuels have us very excited."

Yonkers added that Air Force of-ficials will bring the achievement to their partners within the DoD and industry, and will work to further integrate efforts on testing alternative fuels and the certi-fication of platforms.

February has been designated National Children’s Dental Health Month (NCDHM) for the past 30 years. This promotion of oral health for children is celebrated in communities nationwide and at numerous worldwide Armed Service bases. The main goal of NCDHM is to remind how important is to educate and develop good dental and oral care habits at an early age so that outstanding oral health is maintained throughout life. Naval Hospital Rota Dental Services is sponsoring activities to include visits to the elementary school and Children Development Centers through February and March. During these visits all important aspects of dental and oral hygiene are going to be exposed such as brushing your teeth, flossing and why it is important to start flossing early, eating habits that will enhance oral health and the use of Fluoride to help your teeth staying healthy.

Oral health starts very early and goes throughout our entire life. How early? Before we are born, baby teeth will start forming after six weeks following conception and any issues that may affect the development of the baby before birth may affect baby teeth as well. Right at the end of the baby developing and after birth the permanent teeth will start developing and this is a period that also is a concern if there are any problems since they will also manifest into the teeth that are going to be with us the rest of our lifespan.

Dental caries is a disease that affects our teeth and it is considered an infectious disease. It is caused by

bacteria that infects our mouth usually around the first four years of our life and it passes to our mouth from anyone that already have the bacteria in their mouth. This is why it is important to also maintain a healthy mouth as parents since they will have most of the contact with the child during these specific years.

First dental exam should be as soon as the first tooth comes out into the baby’s mouth or by age one. During this appointment the facts about dental development will be discussed and also timing and technique for starting oral hygiene habits at this age. Use of fluoride, brushing , flossing, and diet aspects will be discussed too as well as timing for teething and what to do if teething is causing some challenges. At the same appointment a cleaning and a fluoride treatment are performed and explanation of how to brush the teeth at this early age. Recall or check-up visits are recommended every six months as per the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (aapd.org) and no more than one year between appointments.

Around age seven we start looking at orthodontic issues and it is important because some discrepancies of dental development can be treated early and treating early is sometimes a better option for the patient.

The most important tool we have is making our home a “Dental Home” for our kids; this includes brushing after every meal (most important after breakfast and at bedtime), flossing regularly (at least once a day), making sure we have the exposure to fluoride and making sure we provide an

adequate diet to minimize risk for oral or dental disease. Here at Dental Services Naval Hospital Rota we will complement with all these efforts in order to provide the best care, prevent disease and treat affected teeth to accomplish a great oral

and general health. Let’s all help ensure that our

children’s smiles will be healthy and beautiful now and for years to come, because a healthy smile is truly a lasting treasure.

By the time you are reading this article Valentine’s Day will have come and

gone, as I am guessing that the flowers, candy,

jewelry and those very special Val-entine’s Day cards will have faded into

one’s memory. However, what

is most important and will be that which is here to stay is the relationship you have with your husband or wife.

My husband and I who are working toward our 18th year of marriage are still newly married by comparison to my great grandparents who celebrated their 72nd wedding anniversary many years ago now, and my grandparents who cel-ebrated their 68th wedding anniversary.

Nevertheless, I remember well grow-ing up that it was not only on special occasions like Valentine’s Day that they would express their love for one another in cards and flowers, but it was genuinely how they loved, honored and cared for each other all year long.

Three hundred couples who had been married 50 years or more, when asked what advice they could give concerning what it takes to make a marriage last were quick to share the following in Dennis and Barbara Rainey’s book, “Moments With You”:

-“If I want anything fairly expen-sive, I’ll talk it over with him, and h e ’ l l d o t h e s a m e w i t h m e . ”

Carnival

12 February 17, 2011 C LVISTA

In 1688, traveler Francis Misson visited Venice, Italy and said about Carnival, "vice and virtue were never so well counterfeited. There is everywhere a general motion and confusion, as if the world were turn'd fools in an instant." While the origins of the name is disputed, Carnival is the last hurrah before the Christian season of Lent, 40 days of fasting and penitence beginning on Ash Wednesday, March 9 this year. But its roots reach at least as far back as ancient Rome's Saturnalia, a hedonistic winter celebration of Saturn, the god of the harvest. So why am I talking about events way in the past? Well, even before the internet, ideas and customs were shared through trade. As one of the major seaports of the 16th century, Cadiz adopted the Carnival from its trading partner Venice. And like Venice, Cadiz’s fiesta defies social order. Extravagance is encouraged through the wearing of masks and elaborate costumes. There is a thrilling electricity in the air as the excite-ment spreads through the crowds as the celebration against all abstentions, prohibitions and inhibitions is embrace by thousands of revelers who travel from all over the world to take part in the most famous, dazzling and lively Carnival in Spain. Festivities officially take place in Cadiz from March 3 - 13; however, these dates are slightly misleading since, in reality, carnival fever has been building up when the Falla competition began in early January. Carnival in Cádiz is approximately 400 years old. From 1936 to 1977, dictator Francisco Franco prohibited the celebration because of its unruliness. Two years after his death, Carnival returned. Residents of Cádiz are proud of their event because it survived while Carnival altogether in other parts of Spain, even in the nearby town of Jerez didn’t.

The practice and dates for Carnival vary from city, region and continent. In Portugal, there are many original and amusing ways of celebrating the Carni-val. Portuguese Carnival has its typical Gigantones, huge dolls with big heads often caricatures of public people, which are seen during parades. On the streets people wear masks, dance and play drums, making it an enjoyable experience as people dance to the music. The most well known Carnivals in Portugal are in Alcobaça, Ovar, Loulé and Sines. The one in Torres Vedras, is the most typical and oldest Carnival of Portugal. One of the most ancient traditions may be seen in some villages of Trás-os-Montes in northeast Portugal, especially in Podence and Ousilhão. Here, the Caretos are kings. They run, scream and jump frighteningly through the village like little devils freed from control. Young masked men wear suits made of green, red and yellow tatters, with a wooden or leather mask and clappers in the belt called the Careto. The Careto's origin lies in an ancient pre-Roman Celtic tradition, marking the end of winter and the arrival of warmer, sunnier days. The clappers are jingled when passing people. If it is a woman, a group of Caretos jingles gently, if it is a man, and he jingles fiercely, occasionally hunting down the person. Locals believe

a supernatural energy takes control over the body and allows the Caretos to do things other people can not do. Down south in the Algarve region, people decorate traditional Portuguese boats and navigate them along the shore-line for fun. Restaurants stock up on seafood and other goods, and the streets teem with colorful decorations as people ready themselves for the festivities. If you want to stay local, the Grand Parade in Cadiz is March 6 at 6 p.m. and runs along the main avenue to the down-town harbor area. A fireworks display will light up the evening at 11 p.m. at the Castle of San Sebastian. The children’s parade is March 5 at noon starting at Plaza San Juan de Dios and ending at Plaza de San Antonio. Both driving and parking in Cádiz dur-ing Carnival is a hectic endeavor, taking the train or ferry is a convenient alterna-tive. Trains run between El Puerto de Santa María and Cádiz on a continual basis. Scheduling information can be found online at www.renfe.es or you can take the ferry across from either Peurto or Rota. There are also parties for the next couple of weeks around the area that are fun and less raucous than Cadiz. But no matter which one you go to, the goal is always the same: enjoy and have fun.

Plato al Centro is a real hip restaurant and bar alive with people, young and not so young; all enjoying a modern, sophisticated atmosphere. The front part is good for

groups and more seri-ous eaters. The menu is long, interesting and unusual. You will find interesting salads and egg dishes and unusual

things such as tartar of Almadraba tuna or beef a la “Plato al Centro”. All the dishes are beautifully presented so you are enjoying your food even before you taste it. The wine list is outstanding. We tried an excellent white wine, Oropendola from Osborne. Above average in our opinion. The modern setting in black and white décor invites you to sit down and relax and the terrace is delightful as is the bar. Right across from Foster’s, a favorite of many Americans, Plato al Centro is the place to visit. Another plus: there is lots of parking in Centro Comercial Vistahermosa. Enjoy! A month ago a new travel agency opened in Puerto: Viajes Lucero. It’s an agency that has a history even though it just opened. It’s a story I feel I should tell because it tells a lot about the determination of the four people at the agency. They all used to work for Viajes Marsans, one of the biggest and best know travel groups in Spain. A couple of years ago, Marsans began having serious problems and ended up folding last fall. It was a slow agony for the employees who ended up out of work and with back pay due them. The four employees at Marsans Puerto decided not to be afraid in

So even though the agency is new, the profes-sionals have a lot of experience with airline reservations and all types of travel arrangements. One of the professionals at Viajes Lucero, Angela, is particularly interested in advertising on base since her first job was with Viajes Marsans on base and she has many good memories of her time there. For several

years, she took groups on tours of Morocco, France, England, Portugal and circuits around Spain. She tells me she hopes to organize some special trips again soon.

MOODY AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. (AFNS) -- On a rack of military uniforms mostly from World Wars I and II, it is the service dress uniform of a chief master sergeant who retired in 1984 that stands out the most.

Now 74 years old and married for more than half a century to his high school sweetheart, retired Chief Master Sgt. James "Jack" Hadley's mission in life is to educate as many people as he can about African-American history.

"One day in 1979, my son came home from school and said nothing was being done to commemorate Black History Month," Chief Hadley said. "We made a few posters about significant achieve-ments by black people and he took it to school. Students and teachers loved it, and that was the beginning of my collec-tion."

Chief Hadley still has those posters, and his collection has grown to more than 4,000 other artifacts, documents and pictures of black history. Quite a few of these are directly related to history within Thomasville, Ga., the town in which he grew up. He now owns the Jack Hadley Black History Museum there and educates approximately 3,000 visitors each year.

"Jack worked hard in the military and he works hard now," said his wife, Christine Hadley, who still laughs at the mention of their high-school romance. "He's a good Christian man, father and husband who has always provided for his family. His life dream was to own this museum and he did it."

Mrs. Hadley served as the museum's secretary until last year and still makes an occasional appearance when a tour goes through. The couple has been married for 53 years. They have two daughters and a son.

"We got married after Jack had been in the military for just one year," she said. "Whenever we got orders every few years, the kids and I were ready to move. It got harder when our children were in high

school because then they were more reluctant to move and leave their friends, but overall it was a good lifestyle that we enjoyed."

Chief Hadley graduated from high school in 1956 and joined the Air Force two weeks later.

"My high school didn't become inte-grated until 1970, after I had left, so things like having a separate water fountain were the normal way of life," he said. "When I left for basic training, segregation wasn't as prominent in the Air Force, but once I graduated from there, I was reminded nothing had changed.

"I was riding a bus to go back home on leave and I was wearing my uniform," Chief Hadley said. "Once we reached the Mason-Dixon Line, the bus driver stopped the bus and told us to go the back of the bus."

Remembering history is the overall goal he hopes to achieve through his museum.

"We've heard a lot from the older visi-tors that their towns don't have anything like this," Chief Hadley said. "For our younger visitors who might be working on a school project, I have something else in mind. I want them to be able to come in here, look at any subject and learn about it. Then they can go to the Internet and other sources and learn even more."

The museum covers subjects from the 1800s to present day and focuses on local history. One notable citizen from the area is Lt. Henry Ossian Flipper, the first black graduate from the U.S. Military Academy.

"Of course we also want to highlight the military accomplishments of our citizens," Chief Hadley said. "I proudly served for 28 years, and am happy to give back to our community in any way, including educating visitors on black history."

Other artifacts within the museum in-clude obituaries used to track genealogy, chains previously used to hold slaves and plenty of pictures illustrating Chief Hadley's life and military career.

James "Jack" Hadley gives a brief history lesson to children from the local community Feb. 12 during a tour of the Jack Hadley Black History Museum in Thomasville, Ga.
