Navy photos by MC3 Mayra Knight WASHINGTON - Littoral combat ship USS Fort Worth has joined the guided missile destroyer USS Sampson in the Java Sea to assist in the Indonesian-led international search-and-recovery effort for downed AirAsia Flight 8501, according to a 7th Fleet news release issued Jan. 3. Sampson’s commander, Cmdr. Steven M. Foley, discussed current search efforts with ABC’s “This Week” weekend news program host Martha Raddatz. “We’ve been searching using lookouts, using optical search equipment and scanning the horizon and using our helicopters in tandem to search a wide area,” Foley told Raddatz Jan. 4. “The weather has been a little rough with scattered thunderstorms,” the commander said. “The seas have been about two to four feet, increasing to about four to six feet when the rain swells come in. And we’ve been operating in three specified areas that the Indonesian authorities have assigned to us. “And you have to remember,” Foley added, “this is their search effort and we’re here to assist.” Ships are being employed to search for the downed aircraft’s black box and the helicopters are looking for debris, Foley told Raddatz. Rigid-hull inflatable boats are also participating in the search effort, he added. The Indonesian government requested U.S. assistance to help in the search for Air Asia Flight 8501, which disappeared Dec. 28 during its route from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore with 162 passengers and crew aboard. San Diego-based USS Sampson, an Arleigh Burke-class Aegis guided missile destroyer, was deployed Dec. 29 to assist in the search efforts for the Airbus A320-216 aircraft, according to a Navy news release. Since then, searchers have found debris and passenger remains from the aircraft, which apparently crashed during its flight during bad weather. Sampson arrived in the Java Sea search area on Dec. 30, according to a Navy release. Later that day, the Sampson’s helicopters and Indonesian navy assets discovered aircraft debris. Sampson’s crew also removed six remains from the sea Jan. 1 and six others Jan. 2, according to a Navy release. WELCOME BACK We thank our Heroes! SERVE WITH PRIDE. RIDE WITH POWER.

Sturkie Virginia Beach - The Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM) announced Jan. 7 that they have joined together with Inclusion Solutions “FUEL CALL,” to better serve those customers with a physical disability who are making a fuel purchase. by MC2 Dominique Pineiro On the evening of January 24, 1945, about eight months before the end of World War II, USS Shadwell was sailing south of Siquijor Island in the Philippines when it was engaged by three enemy torpedo bombers. During the battle, Shadwell was struck by a torpedo on the starboard side, tearing a hole in the ship’s bottom 60-feet wide. The crew of 500 frantically worked to save the ship, but Shadwell was flooding, and sinking. Shadwell’s crew worked through the night to save their sinking ship. By morning they were under their own power, and no longer taking on water. No lives lost. Three injured. Their efforts were rewarded. Nearly 70 years later, Shadwell no longer patrols the waters of the Pacific; the ship is moored to a small island in the waters of Mobile Bay, near the historic Civil War naval battle site. Instead of being mothballed, sunk in target practice, or being converted to a museum ship, Shadwell is in the business of saving lives. “Shadwell has got two histories, almost like a phoenix,” said HM1 John Dalton, the ship’s corpsman. “She had proud service in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and the work she’s done for the Naval Research Lab, there’s a proud legacy there. All of the Sailors that will live because of the research and development done aboard the ship-my goodness, it’s as if she’s had two lives.” and the Navy wanted to scrap her,” said Dalton. “We worked day and night to turn the ship upright and save her, because that’s how strongly we believe in her mission. We have the power to save the lives of children who aren’t even born yet.” Dalton, a reservist, has served 11 years aboard Shadwell and 22 years in the Navy. He’s hit high year tenure, but he still volunteers to show up one weekend a month and two weeks a year. At first glance, ex-USS Shadwell as it is now referred, is just like any other modern ship in America’s Navy. It’s gray and floats in the water, but that’s where the similarity ends. The suffocating odor of smoke pervades the ship, its interior is rusted from years of exposure to the elements and charred spots are pockmarked throughout the ship. To him, it’s not about the money, or earning points toward retirement. It’s about the camaraderie, the ship’s history, and most importantly creating new history by helping save the lives of future Sailors. “When Katrina hit the Gulf Coast (Shadwell) was beached, One thing is apparent, this ship isn’t about putting ordnance on target or deterring enemies; its sole purpose is to be burned. The future of the Navy’s damage control technology takes shape aboard Shadwell. Scientists from universities across America spend days aboard the ship perfecting or reworking robotics, techniques, and software developed over the course of years in their respective labs. The stakes are high. Thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands, are spent making sure these technologies and techniques are successful at saving lives, and making sure the ship is in deployable condition. “When Sailors look at (firefighting) doctrine they say, ‘Why do I do this, why do I do shortburst technique, why do I do all that,’” said ex-USS Shadwell director John P. Farley. “Because it has been accomplished in a real world environment under real fire conditions and this is what was found to be the best approach.” 2 • www.armedforcesdispatch.com • THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 2015 To understand the purpose of Shadwell, one must look to the past. In World War II, 85 percent of the ships that were hit survived and were able to maintain their combat mission. But in the 1980’s, the Falklands War happened between the U.K. and Argentina. Of the 16 ships that were hit with functional weapons, six were lost. “We had a dramatic turn in success rate, and of course the reason for that was the impact of modern weapons,” said John P. Farley. “We had to rethink the practice of damage control in the era of cruise missiles and that’s when the Shadwell came online. We need a full-scale fire test ship to test new tactics and technologies.” The damage control technologies developed since Shadwell was purchased in 1988 by Naval Research Laboratory have been nothing short of impressive. Autonomous DC systems, such as water mist fire suppression systems and high expansion foam generators can extinguish compartment fires in minutes, not hours, effectively improving a Sailor’s situational awareness within damage control settings. “Every time we burn, we learn,” said Hung Pham, the ship’s operations officer. “You can practice a new theory all you want in a lab, but once you light a fire, anything can happen.” Anything can and will happen, a phrase that perfectly describes the life of Shadwell, a ship that’s been torpedoed, beached, and repeatedly burned and ultimately responsible for saving the lives of countless Sailors for 70 years. Ex-USS Shadwell (LSD-15) grounded on Little Sand Island in Mobile Bay, Ala., as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

FUEL CALL enables NEX customers to get assistance at the gas pump through the use of a call button accessible from their car. “The call button wirelessly connects to a receiver placed inside the NEX gas station where an associate can respond and provide assistance by pumping the customer’s gas,” said Larry Boone, NEXCOM’s automotive branch manager. “We are always looking for ways to offer PREMIER customer service to our customers. I believe FUEL CALL will offer a great benefit for those customers who need help at the gas pump.” Gas pumps with the call button installed will have a “FUEL CALL Refuel Here” sign posted along with the day and times the service is available. Only NEX gas stations that have an associate working on-site will participate in the FUEL CALL program. The NEX gas station at Naval Support Activity Bethesda, Md., was the first to receive the new service. According to the NEX Bethesda General Manager, Greg Thomas, it has been well-received on base and by customers. “The comments we’ve received from the customer so far are very positive,” said Thomas. “The majority of the customers that have used the call button have been senior citizens. Our associates also like that the customer can call from their car instead of walking in and asking for assistance.” You might win tickets to see me, in concert.

As DoD observes National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month in January, Sam Yousef noted how annual training for DoD’s military, civilian, and contractor workforce is driving home the department’s “zero tolerance” for slavery and human trafficking. DoD defines human trafficking as using fraud, force or coercion to recruit, harbor, transport or obtain a person for commercial sex, or labor services. Surveys indicate a jump in DoD workforce awareness of slavery and human trafficking issues, from 72 percent in 2008 to nearly 90 percent today, he said. Occurring particularly overseas rather than stateside, labor trafficking has led DoD’s Combating Trafficking in Persons program to develop new specialized training for acquisition professionals. foreign soil, Yousef said. “It gives them highlighted awareness of their responsibilities in managing contracts as they “The training is primarily for contractor officers and contracting officer representatives” on WASHINGTON - This week’s overview of alleged sexual assaults was compiled based on 7 initial reports across the Navy from December 22 - 28. by Nick Simeone WASHINGTON - The United States has begun training Iraqi army recruits, a central part of the strategy by the U.S.-led coalition that is working with the Iraqi government to retake territory and ultimately defeat Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorists in the country. Pentagon spokesman Army Col. Steve Warren told reporters Jan. 5 that six weeks of training began Dec. 27 for four battalions of Iraqi security forces at a base in Taji, north of Baghdad. Training began at Asad Air Base in Anbar province for members of the Iraqi 7th Division several days earlier. Warren said all of the Iraqis going through the training by U.S. personnel already have been vetted. Warren said the air base has been the target of “regular indirect enemy fire,” which he said has been wholly ineffective and has drawn no return fire from U.S. forces. The training mission is part of Operation Inherent Resolve, which - along with targeted coalition airstrikes being carried in both Iraq and Syria - is intended to degrade and defeat ISIL terrorists who hold large sections of territory along the countries’ shared border. In total, 12 Iraqi brigades are expected to be trained - nine from the Iraqi security forces and three from the Kurdish peshmerga. Two other locations in Iraq, one in Irbil and another in Besmaya, are expected to host training missions as well. Check Our Great Ticket Prices!

While such indicators might not be obvious to some, DoD’s training helps to alert employees to the potential of such scenarios, Yousef said. “You might not think much of it before you take our training,” he added. “But through increased awareness, you’re able to connect the dots a little more.” DoD employees can file reports with the DoD Inspector General Hotline at http://www. dodig.mil/hotline or by calling 800-424-9098, 703-604-8799 or DSN 664-8799. In addition to DoD’s mandatory annual training, the military’s leadership also plays a critical awareness role in preventing such crimes, Yousef said. The 7th Air Force in South Korea, for example, issued a policy earlier this year restricting service members from buying drinks for “juicy bar” workers and patronizing establishments that have been connected to prostitution and human trafficking, he said, adding that the policy now covers all of U.S. Forces Korea. “It’s a very significant accomplishment,” Yousef said of the policy. “In a 2003 DoDwide survey, we reported that 52 percent of our service members were aware of bars placed offlimits by their leadership, but in 2013 we reported it at 92 percent.” In addition, programs with nongovernmental organizations also are increasing awareness, he noted. One such effort will partner the Defense Health Agency with the nonprofit Polaris Project, which combats human trafficking around the world. During January in the national capital area, DHA and the Polaris Project will conduct a drive to benefit international victims of slavery and human trafficking, Yousef said.

The new rates for basic pay, CSADD sea, shore winners announced WASHINGTON - The Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD) Sea and Shore chapters of the year (COY) were announced by the Chief of Naval Personnel Jan. 6. USS George Washington was named CSADD Large Sea COY, and Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light Four Nine (HSL 49) was named Small Sea COY. The Fleet Activities, Yokosuka, Japan was selected as CSADD Shore COY, and the Navy Air Training Technical Center, Pensacola was selected as the Shore Training COY. CSADD is a peer influence social group meant to encourage Sailors 18 to 25 years old to combat destructive behavior through a culture of “shipmates helping shipmates.” CSADD also serves to build leadership skills in young Sailors. Honorable mentions were awarded to USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, USS Hopper, Naval Hospital, Naples and Navy Medicine Training Support and water/sewer) for each pay grade, both with and without dependents. Two changes were made to BAH rate computations for 2015: Center, Navy Enlisted Training Element, San Diego. The best practices that made the winning chapters to stand out included integrating CSADD into their command indoctrination courses, organizing life skills workshops, making effective use of social media and networking resources with other organizations and chapters. Since 2007 when CSADD was established, the group set out to inspire peer-to-peer mentoring to positively influence young Sailors’ behavior through resources and tools that promote good decision making. This marks the final official award presented by OPNAV(N1), governing authorities have been turned over to commanding officers as of Oct. 1, 2014. Leadership continues to support and encourage command participation in the more than 250 CSADD Chapters we have throughout the Fleet. basic allowance for housing, basic allowance for subsistence, and the cost of living allowance rates for the contiguous United States took effect Jan. 1. Basic pay for most service members will increase one percent, for example an E-4 with three years of service will see an increase in basic pay of $22.20 per month, while a lieutenant with six years of service will receive a basic pay increase of $54.30 per month. Basic allowance for housing (BAH) rates for service members in 2015 will increase on average $17 per month. Rates are calculated using median current market rent and average utilities (including electricity, heat, renter’s insurance, which contributed an average of one percent to rates, was eliminated, and the Fiscal Year 2015 National Defense Authorization Act reduced housing rates on average one percent for service members. However, individual rate protection for service members remains an integral part of the BAH program, officials said. This means that even if BAH rates decline - including through the elimination of renter’s insurance and the reduction in the calculated rate - a service member who maintains uninterrupted BAH eligibility in a given location will not see a rate decrease. This ensures that service members who have made long-term commitments in the form of a lease or contract are not penalized if local housing costs decrease. Service members can calculate their BAH payment by using the basic allowance for housing calculator at http://www. defensetravel.dod. mil/site/bahCalc. cfm.

From the beginning of October 2013 through the end of September 2014, the index rose by 2.9 percent, forming the basis for the increased BAS rates, said officials. DoD also released its 2015 contiguous U.S. cost of living allowance rates. Roughly 12,000 members will see a decrease in CONUS COLA payments, while some 7,000 members will see an increase or no change, and 4,000 members will no longer receive a CONUS COLA payment. The 2015 basic allowance for subsistence rates for military members will increase by 2.9 percent. The new rates are: $367.92 per month for enlisted members, and $253.38 per month for officers CONUS COLA is a taxable supplemental allowance designed to help offset higher prices in high-cost locations, and rates vary based on location, pay grade, years of service and dependent status.

The brief survey, available at www.fra.org/survey, asks current and former members of the uniformed services and their spouses to rate the importance of various benefits and quality-of-life programs associated with their service to our nation. “As Congress explores ways to cut federal spending, many hard-earned benefits are in the budgetary crosshairs,” explains Tom Snee, FRA’s National Executive Director. “FRA is asking all current and former military personnel and their spouses to share their opinions about the programs they value most. Survey responses and comments from participants provide important reference information when we testify before Congress or meet one-on-one with lawmakers and their staff.” FRA shares the survey results with elected officials on Capitol Hill, key committee staff, and leaders within the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs - ensuring these crucial decision-makers understand the enlisted sea service perspective. Visit www.fra.org/survey to let FRA know which military and veteran benefits are most important to you CRDP/CRSC open season FRA wants to remind retirees who qualify for both Concurrent Retirement and Disability Pay (CRDP) and Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC) that they can choose which compensation they prefer to receive in the coming year. According to federal law, retirees can receive either CRDP or CRSC, but not both, and they can make their election during the CRDP/CRSC open season that runs for the entire month of January 2015. All eligible retirees should have received a CRDP/CRSC Open Season Election Form in the mail, which includes a comparison of the CRDP and CRSC entitlement amounts and information about tax implications. Retirees should return the form only if they wish to make a change from CRDP to CRSC or vice versa. No action is required to keep things the way they are and the current payment will continue uninterrupted. Forms must be postmarked no later than January 31, 2015, and the usual processing time for this change is 30 days. All elections remain in effect unless changed in a subsequent annual open season.

A. You can save time by making sure your verbal and written training is exhaustively specific and clear. Consider the manufacturer’s safety warnings that state something like, “Warning: do not jump off a cliff with this product.” The manufacturers assume if they don’t consider every possible mistake, people could make they will get sued. You probably won’t get sued by a new employee but you will waste a lot of time and annoyance. Therefore, you want to state every single thing you can think of that a new employee could do wrong and prevent it. Make a list of common mistakes that drive you crazy. Now make a thorough list of how employees can start out avoiding these behaviors. If you assume anything an employee can do wrong - and will do wrong - you’ll be better at supervising new people. Make sure you use every sensory modality. Some people learn by seeing, some by hearing, and some by doing. Make sure each employee has seen, heard and done what you want when training. biggest source of your unhappiness with your job. If you expect (like the manufacturer’s safety warnings) that people will amaze you with the mistakes they are capable of making, you’ll be more prepared and less upset. Research indicates that most of us take at least three times to learn any new skill. If you don’t want to show new employees a skill repeatedly, then assign other employees to mentor your new staff. The older employees get to refine their skills, you save time, and the new employee gets the repetition. Once you have rewritten and revised your training approach, run it by a few eighth graders you know. If it is simple enough to make perfect sense to your average eighth grader, keep it. If not, back to the drawing board to clarify and simplify. The last word(s) Q. I have a coworker who says really rude stuff in meetings. I’ve been confronting him, and my boss says I’m creating a hostile workplace. Am I wrong? Most of my clients tell me they never had any training on the practical daily realities of supervising human beings. People who make it into management are often quick to learn, highly responsible and ambitious. They assume everyone they hire is just like them. Expecting all new employees to be just like you is a recipe for misery. Consider that your expectations about others at work may be the One cowhide can produce 10 footballs. A.

Free Bowling for Active Duty All active duty personnel bowl FREE every Tuesday from 11 am-1 pm at Sea ‘N Air Lanes and About Your Health by Lindsay Thornton The last few Olympic Voice pieces on sport psychology topics have emphasized creating an awareness of what happens in your body and mind when you are in a semi-autopilot mode, and then teaching skills to learn to gain greater regulation of these responses. As a reminder, one of the examples used was that we often hold our breath or use our shoulder muscles when sending a text or typing an email. There is really no need to do so – these responses don’t help us perform any better, and in the long run, can drain our physical resources – but they are very common. We can learn to gain greater self-regulation over our minds and bodies and ultimately boost performance where it counts. In the vein of performing when and where it counts, this article is devoted to getting you to think about your activation level around performance. When I work with athletes one-on-one, we often try to see if there are patterns to their better and worse performances in competitions. I usually talk about a theory that can sometimes be a guide to understanding these patterns. That theory is the “Yerkes and Dodson Law,” after the two psychologists who first wrote about it. This law says that increasing your level of activation, or the amount of arousal in your nervous system, can help your performance, but only up until a certain point. In other words, when you are feeling like your mind or body isn’t awake and alert, your performance will improve as you become more awake and alert. There comes a point – this point varies according to the sport demands and the individual athlete – where becoming more activated doesn’t help. It has the opposite effect of bringing down performance. The picture looks like an upside down “U,” hence the nickname the inverted “U” of optimal performance. In this example, as the athlete moves from an activation level of 0 up to an activation level of 5, performance improves. If you look at the dotted line up from the 5, you see that performance is at the maximum level (in this case, let’s say that it’s a 10). Then the pattern changes, with more activation, performance goes down. This may not be true for you specifically, but the general idea is that increasing your activation level helps, up to a certain point. Yerkes and Dodson wrote that there is a different curve for simple tasks, where there Parmela Sawhney, MD. Family Practice & Holistic Medicine Ayurvedic Integrated Wellness VW6W8QLW&RURQDGR&$ 619-435-4488 8 • www.armedforcesdispatch.com • THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 2015 WE TAKE TRICARE & MOST INSURANCES Visit our website at: www.AyurvedicIntegrated.com is no decrease in performance with increased arousal. Complex tasks have the downward part of the curve where performance decreases with ongoing increases in activation. Let’s take sprinting versus triple jumping as an example. For a sprinter, it may be true that the more activated they are, the faster they will go. The mechanics of sprinting have been so well learned that the sprinter might focus the majority of attention on creating a maximum effort to go fast. A triple jumper might want to go fast, but also has to keep foot placement, jumping form, landing position and so forth in mind. It could be that a very high level of activation for the triple jumper could lead to minor errors that make the jump shorter. In my experience, athletes have different shaped curves when we think about what is going on prior to and during their best competitive performances. As an example, the two curves in the figure to the right show an athlete who has a specific activation level associated with high performance (shown in the dotted line, with a peak at 6) and an athlete with a broader, table-top curve where high performance comes at a range of activation levels (shown in the solid line with a peak from 3 to 9). These examples are extremes, but they are shown to illustrate that the inverted “U” doesn’t always look like a “U” – there can be varieties. The athlete with the dotted line curve would want to learn very efficient selfregulation strategies to make sure he could increase activation to get up to a 6 when needed, and decrease activation to get down to a 6 when needed. He would want to have skills to regulate his sympathetic nervous system, and be particularly good at coping with competitive pressure (or excitement, or stress, etc as these would increase activation levels). Tips to simplify gluten-free dining out by Alison Hadavi Eating foods that support your training needs while dining out can be a challenge for all athletes. It is even trickier for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. Celiac disease is an inflammatory disease of the small intestine caused by the ingestion of gliadin, a protein found in barley, wheat and rye and is present in a number of common processed foods. While options were limited a few years ago, many choices are available now. The restaurant industry, including fast food chains, responded to the growing demand for gluten-free options and many offer either a gluten-free menu or have allergen information along with ingredients lists on their websites. Although this gives gluten-free diners more choices when eating out, it is important for those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance to be cautious and make smart choices. Keep in mind that going gluten-free does not translate into a “healthy” diet and there is no advantage to following a gluten-free diet for someone who is not gluten-intolerant/celiac. Being a proactive and knowledgeable consumer is key, especially for an elite athlete with celiac disease or gluten intolerance. What is the difference between Celiac and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity? Despite the current general popularity for the gluten-free diet, only 10-15% of the population is truly gluten intolerant/celiac. Symptoms commonly seen in adults with celiac disease vary from abdominal pain, weight loss, bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, and can result in reduced bone density, anemia due to iron and/or folate deficiency, and other long term health issues. Management requires complete elimination of gluten from the diet. While oats that have not been contaminated with wheat during farming (i.e. ‘gluten free’ oats) do not contain gliadin, they do contain another protein, avenin, which can cause a reaction in some with celiac disease. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity, a condition that involves similar symptoms but without the long term health consequences, is another reason why some might opt for a gluten-free diet. In either case, eliminating gluten helps an athlete to stay on top of their performance goals and avoid gastrointestinal symptoms.

Food safety is a primary concern. The appropriate precautions must be taken, as you don’t want to find yourself missing out on training or competitions as a result of consuming foods that were improperly handled. Risk of cross-contamination is always present when restaurants carry both gluten-free and gluten-containing foods. Food handlers may not understand the serious implications for those with celiac disease and may fail to follow stringent procedures such as changing gloves or using different counter spaces and utensils to prepare both foods containing gluten and those that are gluten-free. It is important to communicate needs with the staff in advance such as asking that the food handler change his or her gloves to avoid cross-contamination. Clarify that gluten will make you sick. TIPS FOR DINING OUT • Avoid the drive thru and go inside to order food • Speak to staff in-person to communicate your needs • Keep orders simple with explicit instructions • Specialty restaurants may know more about ingredients for their foods if they are made from scratch, whereas chain restaurants may serve premarinated or pre-seasoned foods, which frequently contain gluten. Eating fast food or at a chain, however, can have an advantage as there tends to be a level of consistency of ingredients on their menus • Focus on less processed food items, which are naturally gluten-free If you want to benefit from an aerobic workout too while weight training, try supersets. This simply involves taking two exercises (not for the same muscle group) and performing one after the other with minimal rest. We recommend pausing for a maximum of 45 seconds between sets and/or machines. The continuous effort helps you achieve an aerobic state. Biceps and triceps are excellent body parts to superset. 10460 Mission Gorge Rd Santee, CA 92071 • Truck Bed Covers • New and Used Camper Shells • Side Steps • Bed Liner • Trucks Racks • Tool Boxes • Fuel Tanks • Carpet Kits • Tow hitches • Mufflers • What to eat on a gluten-free diet? It may seem challenging to consume adequate carbohydrates when wheat, barley and rye are eliminated; however, there are a variety of carbohydrate options that are naturally gluten-free. Appropriate substitutions include corn and rice-based options, quinoa, amaranth, millet, farro and buckwheat. Vegetables, legumes such as beans, lentils, peas, fruit, potatoes, sweet potatoes, nuts, meat and dairy are all naturally gluten-free. There are also a range of gluten-free breads, pastas and oats. Hence athletes with celiac disease/gluten intolerance can continue to choose a nutritionally sound diet that supports their training and competition needs. 0LVVLRQ*RUJH5G6DQWHH EATING IN • Quinoa • Fresh fruit, mixed dried fruit • Corn tortillas, corn chips • Corn • Gluten-free bread, Crispix cereal, granola • Potatoes, sweet potatoes • Brown or white rice • Gluten-free pasta • Black, garbanzo, & kidney beans • Chobani yogurts, cottage cheese • Nuts & seeds ** Gluten-free menus are provided by most of the restaurants listed, but many caution risk of cross-contamination.

As such changes have become more prevalent, many parents are calling, asking what they should do. C swap Medications for ADHD have never been inexpensive, and for some families, especially those without insurance coverage, they are cost prohibitive. For a child who’s been diagnosed with ADHD, it’s known that a combination of medication and behavior modification offers the best outcome. When I begin a child on medication for ADHD, I typically start with a brand-name drug and do not use any generics. I explain to parents that although I’m a believer in generic drugs, and use them frequently, I want to make sure that any effects of the drug (positive or negative) are indeed due to the medication and not influenced by a difference in a generic drug. Once a patient has been on medication and is doing well, if there is a generic available, I’ll often prescribe it in order to make treatment more cost C ollege Avenue Baptist Church F irst Baptist Church of Mira Mesa A cross-generational, cross-cultural, multi-ethnic community Seminars and Classes for All Ages (babies thru adults) from 9-10 am Sunday Worship Services in English & Spanish 10:30 am 4747 College Ave, San Diego 92115 (near SDSU) 619.582.7222 - www.CABC.org "Helping People Find and Follow Jesus" Sundays at 9:00am and 10:30am Ministries for preschool, kids, youth & adults Awana, Wednesdays at 6:15pm 10770 Rickert Rd., San Diego, Ca 92126 www.fbcmm.org 858-566-3671 Places of Worship Places Mountain Pentecostal Church aithof Worship F I "It's GOD Time" We are having Revival!

While these are anecdotal reports, they have not been uncommon. In such cases, some of my patients have opted to pay for the more expensive brand-name medication. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration just released an interesting article stating that studies have recently found that generic versions of the drug Concerta (produced by two different manufacturers) “may not provide the same therapeutic benefits for some patients” as does the branded medication. While Concerta has a “drug releasing system” that provides 10-12 hours of extended effectiveness, it seems that the generic drugs may release more slowly, and the diminished release rate may not provide the same effect for the patient. So, if your child is on ADHD medications and you’ve tried a generic version and were concerned about its effectiveness, now is the time to discuss the issue with your doctor. This may not be the case for all patients, of course, but it’s certainly worth knowing that there’s now data on the subject.

Yi SAN DIEGO - Leaders of men know their greatest resource is the people under their charge. Leaders also know, to be successful, they must fight for their people and guide and mentor them with their best interests in mind. Hospital Corpsman 1st Class (Fleet Marine Force/Surface Warfare/Aviation Warfare) Jason P. Hildreth knows this sacrificial attitude is part of what helped him be selected as the Navy Medicine West (NMW) Sailor of the Year (SOY) for 2014 and as the Fleet Marine Force Hospital Corpsmen of the Year 2014. “My experience was humbling. And to have an opportunity to be part of a selection process with the top caliber of Sailors this region has to offer was amazing. All the Petty Officer 1st Classes were very were respectful and we carried ourselves as a team.” - HM1 Jason Hildreth (shown here) after facing a board of Navy Master Chiefs and competing with the 11 other Sailors from Navy Medicine West commands. “My experience was humbling. And to have an opportunity to be part of a selection process with the top caliber of Sailors this region has to offer was amazing,” said Hildreth, a native of Edwardsville, Ill., about a 30 minute drive from St. Louis. “All the Petty Officer 1st Classes were very were respectful and we carried ourselves as a team,” said Hildreth after facing a board of Navy Master Chiefs and competing with the 11 other Sailors from Navy Medicine West commands. Franco. “He knows how to deal with people in a tactful manner to maintain good relations.” learned he had won NMW Sailor of the Year, he was in a state of disbelief. Standing 6 feet 2 inches with a burly 215-pound frame, Hildreth, upon first impression, may strike intimidation into junior Sailors. But, in his own words, he is an “intrusive” leader who takes an interest in his Sailors’ lives by striking up conversations, to know them on a more personal level. An additional leadership quality that led to Hildreth’s Sailorof-the-Year nomination is his ability to motivate Sailors to push themselves to be at their best, both professionally and in their personal lives. “I had to process it through my head a few times,” said Hildreth. “I didn’t believe it. When I got up to accept my selection with the Command Master Chief, I was in shock and felt a great feeling of honor overcome me,” he said. “I’m not afraid to talk to Sailors or get to know them, and their families,” said Hildreth, Naval Medical Center San Diego’s (NMCSD) Main Operating Room leading petty officer. “I feel our Sailors are our greatest resource and deserve all the opportunities they are willing to work for.” As part of his intrusive leadership, Hildreth, who oversees 141 Sailors, makes them his first priority. He considers their morale and welfare critical to their professional and personal success. “Sailors are the future of the Navy,” said Hildreth. “As senior leaders, we’ve been through the difficult days and know what those are like. When we show our appreciation and support for junior Sailors, they will understand our family atmosphere and carry that forward.” 10 • www.armedforcesdispatch.com • THURSDAY, JANUARY 8, 2015 Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Denise P. Franco, a Sailor who works with Hildreth at NMCSD, noticed he has a knack for speaking to people in a way that energizes them to perform at their highest level. “HM1 Hildreth knows how to motivate, guide, and inspire his Sailors to accomplish their goals and to perform better,” said “Hildreth’s leadership style is very positive high-energy, push-yourself-and-everyonearound-you-to-be-better with a team-focused emphasis,” said Chief Hospital Corpsman Kona L. Wilson. “The main operating room is 115 Sailors strong. And it is very successful, partly, I believe, because of his leadership. There is an abundance of hard-working Sailors within our department, which I truly believe is a reflection of his leadership.” Hildreth enlisted when he was 19 years old. The Navy’s heritage and its track record of warfighting success are what appealed to him and played a factor in his decision to enlist. Hildreth also liked the universal appeal of the Navy’s uniform. “The uniform means a lot to me,” said Hildreth. “It’s highly recognized around the world and it’s part of the reason I feel honored to be part of the Navy.” Hildreth spent seven months at Camp Dwyer, within the Helmand River Valley in Afghanistan, as a surgical technician. He was part of a team that received patients in a high-stress environment. It was an experience crucial in developing the leadership traits he applies today as a leading petty officer. Hildreth’s main reason for deciding to be a hospital corpsman was the diversity he saw in the rating - the various types of specialties and technical qualifications that can be achieved. He also noticed a corpsman’s services are required at naval commands all around the globe, which appealed to him. “(Camp Dwyer) helped me mature and appreciate the small things - tomorrow is never guaranteed,” said Hildreth. “It taught me what ‘hard work’ really means and the importance of incorporating teamwork with all tasks. There were days when we received a lot of patients, and we were extremely hot, under a lot of pressure, and human lives were in our hands. We stuck together and did the best we could: A lot of Marines and Sailors made it home.” “Hospital corpsmen are needed worldwide on every operational and shore platform,” said Hildreth. “Along with the strong heritage and history of hospital corpsmen, I thought: Why choose anything else?” When Hildreth initially In addition to his appreciation of the hospital corpsman’s decorated history, Hildreth appreciates the various benefits the Navy has made available to him, such as tuition assistance and the opportunity to work abroad. But what he relishes most about see Hildreth, page 11 2015 Basic Allowance for Housing component breakdown Data is collected annually for over 300 Military Housing Areas (MHAs) in the United States, including Alaska and Hawaii. Previously, median current market rent, average utilities (including electricity, heat, and water/sewer), and renter’s insurance were included in the BAH computation. The 2015 Basic Allowance for Housing rates are now based only on the local costs of rent and household utilities in each military housing area; and incoporate a one percent out-of-pocket amount. Collectively, these components establish the total housing costs for six housing profiles (based on dwelling type and number of bedrooms) in each MHA. Total housing costs are used to set the BAH rates for Uniformed Service members, both with and without dependents, for each pay grade. (Prepared by The Defense Travel Managment Office).

It’s not Tootsie or Toots or Sweetie or Honey or Doll.” “Oh, -----!” “No, just Dorothy. Alan’s always Alan; Tom’s always Tom and John’s always John. It’s Dorothy. Capital D-O-RO-T-H-Y.” THAT’S Dustin Hoffman, in “Tootsie,” asserting him/herself on the set of the soap opera in which he appears in disguise as Miss Dorothy Michaels. “Tootsie” is not a holiday film, but it has such a feel-good vibe, I’ve always felt it’s perfect for the holidays, or anytime you want to feel better about the human condition. love and acceptance in so many of the wrong places and finds the courage to stand strong through her friendship with “Dorothy.” Just as Marilyn Monroe was the similarly provocative, insecure and deceived heroine of “Some Like It Hot,” Lange becomes the star of the film. Her essence overpowers even Hoffman, in or out of drag. Lange won a welldeserved best supporting actress Oscar for her performance. NOW, Criterion DVD has put out a sparkling new restoration of “Tootsie.” The extras include deleted scenes, a new interview with Dustin Hoffman, several documentaries about the making of the film and wardrobe and screen tests. And, lucky me, I received this DVD as a Christmas present. Now I turn on “Tootsie” whenever I like, I get to watch, among other priceless bits, Teri Garr go slowly out of her mind as her boyfriend, Hoffman, juggles his female impersonation. “Friends?” he says at one point. “No, we’re not friends” Garr replies. “I don’t take this s--t from friends. Only lovers.” SINCE THIS is the season of giving - or at least it should be - let’s hear from our friend Madonna, who still tends to receive more publicity when she’s posing for sexy photos than she does for good deeds in a “Tootsie” is one of those movies that I always watch to the end, no matter at what point I come across it. It’s perfect. Dustin is perfect, Teri Garr is perfect, Bill Murray is perfect, Charles Durning, Dabney Coleman and Sydney Pollack are perfect. (Pollack also directed.) ,QGLD6WUHHWZZZHOLQGLRFRP But the soft, lovely heart of this movie is Jessica Lange, who is beyond perfect.

While I was driving on the street in front of the Convention Center a vehicle veered into my path. The Toyota representative in the passenger seat expressed his thanks to me for having swerved and avoided an accident. The first auto show of the New Year began early on the morning of January 1, 2015. Aside from being first, this auto show is noteworthy for another important reason. The San Diego show does a really good job of identifying important niche segments and effectively presenting them to the public. By doing so the show continues to get better each year, making it a must-see auto show. This year, aside from the wide array of new vehicles presented tastefully on the show floor, things that caught my attention were domestic high performance, repair, maintenance and restoration; hydrogen-powered automobiles; wheelchair accessible vehicles; and a most unusual and entertaining new band, courtesy of the San Diego Automotive Museum. Of the – dare I use the word, conventional autos on display, Ford Motor Company had a huge exhibit. I also braved the bitter cold to take a couple of test drives, one of which proved JBA Speed Shop is a family owned and operated institution in San Diego. This year, to celebrate their 30 years in San Diego, they gathered together a large group of awesome domestic muscle cars (and their proud owners) for a car show within the car show. It was crowded much of the time that I was there. Once known mostly for performance upgrades to Fords – especially Mustangs, JBA has expanded into a go-to shop for the bow tie brigade, Mopar and other domestic makes and models as well. See JBA for just about anything from superchargers and dyno tuning to complete, high performance engine swaps and more. Heading up the operation is J. Bittle (everyone calls him Jay). He always has a big smile. He also races. He can be seen competing in his Mustang every year at the Coronado Speed Festival. He gets it. He has high performance in his blood. He and his staff work hard to make their customers happy. A friend recently took his orange Ford Raptor there for some major performance upgrades – and then he let me drive it. It was quick, responsive and yet completely docile when I needed it to be. Jay has an uncanny knack for improving performance, optimizing fuel economy and main- Also see JBA for restorations. They’ll even research the history of noteworthy vehicles. in San Diego. I’ve been seeing hydrogenpowered test vehicles for several years. Now Hyundai has brought one to market. In the exhibit was a vehicle and a hydrogen engine display. Right now the 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell is only available for lease in select Southern California dealerships. Hopefully San Diego will get hydrogen refueling capability soon. This year Jay’s son Austin came into the business, bringing with him a solid background in distribution. Look for JBA to significantly increase their parts business. JBA Speed Shop is located at 5675 Kearny Villa Road In a spacious, wheelchair accessible vehicle display area, I observed an ingenious converted truck. It had both driver’s-side doors joined together into one solid unit. This motorized assembly slid out of the way, revealing taining everyday drivability. JBA Speed Shop does repairs and knows how to troubleshoot tough-to-fix problems. If it is something that the manufacturer’s warranty is likely to cover, he’ll send you to a dealership with a sound diagnosis. San Diego Auto Museum Car Parts Symphony a platform to raise the driver up into his vehicle. Honda, Dodge and Chrysler minivan conversions also seemed ideally suited to the task. Find out more at GoldenBoy Mobility in Poway. Perhaps the most unique band I’ve ever seen made its debut at the San Diego Auto Show. Playing instruments made from old car parts, and made possible by a generous planning grant from the San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, the “Car Parts Symphony” is the brainchild of my friend Paula from the San Diego Auto Museum in Balboa Park. Their big gamble paid off big time. The musicians (one of whom works in the museum’s gift shop!) and their instruments are fantastic. I suggested to Paula that they should try to play Vegas. In the meantime, look for them to perform at various venues around San Diego throughout this year, as part of Balboa Park’s Centennial Celebration. As always, please write to [email protected] with your comments and suggestions.
