3 COAST GUARD AUXILIARY CELEBRATES SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNIVERSARY ON THE SANTA MARIA On June 22, 2013 Flotilla celebrated the U.S. Coast Guards 74th Anniversary with an amateur radio special event at a replica of Christopher Columbus s Flag Ship, the Santa Maria, in Columbus Ohio. Flotilla members set up and tested an amateur radio transmission facility aboard the Santa Maria and broadcasted live throughout the day on Sunday, June 23 (20m SSB and 10m SSB) with a special event call sign, K8G. Electronic QSL cards were issued during the event with unofficial contacts count stood at 26 with all contacts made on 20 Meter Single Sideband (SSB) phone. The average distance of a contact made was approximately 650 miles with the most distant station contacted at nearly 2100 miles. The closest station contacted was just under 300 miles. WD4DC Dan of Sarasota, Florida returned a confirming Electronic QSL card. Flotilla Vice Commander Leon Weisenberger of Flotilla 18-6 took the position of Chief Logger and Yeoman for this event and manned the flotillas laptop computer, logging all outgoing and incoming responses. Commodore Bill McGonigal took the duties of Radio Operator and single handedly doubled the contact count from aboard the Santa Maria Radio Station K8G with less than one hour of operating time logged. Plans are in the works to repeat this event on October 19th, 2013 as part of the National Commemoration of the 74th year of the founding of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary by contacting hams on the amateur radio bands with the appropriately assigned 1x1 call signs. A very special thanks goes to Kent Stanley (K8GPZ) for the loan of his fine and vintage transceiver that made the whole event possible and successful, Pat Linesch (K9CGA) for bringing his Communications Van and support tent. This made a nice addition dockside to the Santa Maria. Also to the Administrator (Director Linda Ketcham) and the Staff (Liz and Gary) of the Santa Maria that gave us permission to come aboard and assisted so graciously with the setup and operation of our USCG Auxiliary Special Event Station (K8G). Note: Kent and Jenine Stanley manned this booth for questions from visitors.

4 DIVISION 7 PARTICIPATES IN 24th ANNUAL OHIO RIVER SWEEP Ed Kramer USCGAUX On June 15, 2013, Division 7 hosted what will be known in the future as the Annual USCG Auxiliary Ohio River Sweep. Flotilla 78 members, Bob Davis DCDR, and Ed Kramer VFC, along with four volunteers and accompanied by USCG Seaman Joe Gougeon, a member of the Osage crew, participated in the 24th Annual Ohio River Sweep. As the Marine Safety Officer of Division 7, I feel this event fit perfectly into our mission as Auxiliarists. Bob Davis suggested we concentrate our efforts on the area just outside the fences at Sewickley Moorings. This seemed to be a collection area for debris. We felt it was a great way to give back to Sewickley Moorings and the Osage crew for all the support they give to the Auxiliary. The debris was varied and among the items were three tires, a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation construction barrel, coolers, a fire extinguisher and various bottles, balls, bottles and more bottles. All in all, 25 bags and the aforementioned debris weighed approximately 700 pounds. This garbage will no longer be polluting our river. Among the volunteers were Bob Davis' daughters, Kara and Kristin, and their friend, Elizabeth Gordon. They were a tremendous help and have already volunteered for next year. This event was a part of the annual Ohio River Sweep where hundreds of volunteers gathered more than 40 tons of trash and debris from the Ohio River and its tributaries. It was sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and the Ohio River Valley Water Authority. When I contacted Betsy Mallison, the River Sweep Coordinator, to tell her the USCG Auxiliary would participate; she said she was not aware of our existence. So, another one of our missions, Outreach was accomplished. The event had media coverage in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review and the Sewickley Herald. This was due to the efforts of David Zazac, FSO-PA of Flotilla 78. He does a wonderful job of media coverage for the Auxiliary. Next year, when we participate in the 25th Annual Ohio River Sweep, I expect many Auxiliary volunteers. As Bob Davis stated at the end of the day, "It was the Auxiliary, Gold Side, and the people of the community working together to help keep the river clean." It was a lot of work but also rewarding and fun. JOIN US NEXT YEAR!

5 AUXLAMS class at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama DeAnne Rodenburg DCDR-24 Members of Division 24, North Alabama and Eighth Coastal Region attended the AUXLAMS B class held June 2013 at the Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Alabama. The course is the Coast Guard LAMS course, adapted for the volunteer Auxiliary environment, and is taught by Coast Guard trained instructors. It is based on the Leadership Competencies, which lay the foundation for all leadership skills necessary to be a successful leader in the Coast Guard and the Auxiliary. This is a facilitated and interactive course dealing with Self Awareness, Motivation, Strategic Leadership, Team Building, Ethics, Conflict Management and Performance Problem Solving. AUXLAMS is the foundation course of the Auxiliary Leadership Continuum. The course is taught in two sessions three to five weeks apart, arranged by the respective host POCs. Elected leaders at all levels of the organization should take this course and will be given top priority. However, Auxiliary personnel interested in becoming leaders are eligible for this course as long as the class size does not exceed 35 students. Auxiliarists are required to successfully complete a minimum of seven (7) credits from three categories of courses to receive the AUXOP qualification. The list of courses in the leadership category includes the Auxiliary Leadership and Management School (AUXLAMS). AUXLAMS is also a prerequisite for Flotilla Commanders (FC) to attend the Auxiliary Mid-Level Officers Course (AMLOC-05A). AUXLAMS recently received a favorable review by the Accreditation Council on Education (ACE) and has been recommended for 3 upper-division undergraduate college credits. This is the first Auxiliary course to be reviewed by ACE and the only one with a college credit recommendation.

However this is only if the starfish can find a tidal pool in time. Living outside water and even in a tidal pool for a long period of time would be deadly for the starfish. When a tidal pool is found, the starfish will hold on until the tide comes back in. Starfish are born with the knowledge that the tide may go out, but it will always come back in.

6 COAST GUARD AUXILIARY PREPARES YOUTHS FOR CAREERS ON THE WATER High School students from all over Ohio flooded Alum Creek Marina in Delaware, Ohio, for the 12 th Annual Coast Guard Day session. Nearly 40 students and counselors attended the day-long activities on June 25, as part of the Summer Transportation Institute, a program put on by Central State University (CSU) in Wilberforce, Ohio. Jay Garcia, past Commander of Flotilla 18-7 and current Assistant Diversity Officer for District 8, Eastern Region, has coordinated Coast Guard Day since its inception. His goal with the program has always been to bring awareness of the Coast Guard and the Auxiliary to the community at large and to help the students plan their future. The Coast Guard has so much to offer, and we try to expose them to all the possibilities that are out there. Plus, many of these kids don t come from great backgrounds so it s rewarding to see them enjoy a day on and around the water. Most of have them have never even been on a boat before so that s why we end the day on a high note with a cruise around Alum Creek Reservoir, explained Mr. Garcia. The activities at Alum creek are just one part of CSU s Summer Transportation Institute, jointly sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration and the Ohio Department of Transportation. The program for 9 th 11 th graders is four weeks, and each week is devoted to a particular transportation segment: Air, Land, Sea and Energy. Gorgui Ndao is the project director of CSU s program and explained why this program is so important to these students. We want to get them at this early stage of their lives and expose them to career paths they may never have thought about, especially careers in the transportation Industry. Mr. Ndao indicated that a good number of students who go through this program will end up enrolling with CSU and pursue a career in a transportation-related field. He couldn t say how many ended up enlisting with the Coast Guard but he said the interest level is always high after Coast Guard Day. Besides Coast Guard and Auxiliary speakers, the Auxiliary has invited professionals from various occupations operating on or near the water to speak to the students, such as members of ODNR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This year, Alum Creek Park Ranger, Sylvia Chelf, from the Engineer s office spoke about the design of the reservoir and it s intended use as flood control, water supply and most important for boaters, recreation. Besides serving the 3.5 million visitors that Alum Creek State Park will get each year, Ms. Chelf spoke about the varied jobs available through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, most of which are for civilians. One of the highlights of the day was a visit from District 8, Eastern Region, Commodore William McGonigal. He spoke about the variety of careers available to Coast Guard personnel, the Coast Guard Academy, and most importantly, boating safety. When you re on the water there are Rules of the Road just like when you re in a car. You just need to know how to read the signs on the water. He talked about how crucial the role of the Auxiliary was on inland bodies of water like Alum Creek, You may wonder what the Coast Guard Auxiliary is doing in a place like Alum Creek, but there are more boating fatalities here than any other body of water in Ohio outside of Lake Erie. Commodore McGonigal ended by stressing the importance of wearing lifejackets. The day wrapped up with the students taking a cruise around the reservoir, making it a day many of them won t soon forget. Article and photos on next page: Curtis Pratt USCGAUX 6

8 Three Words Can Make a Difference Adopt Character Quality Traits Patience, understanding and compromise are three character quality traits that when adopted and adhered to will help solve most problems that confront an Auxiliarist on a daily basis. Stacey Carter is quoted as saying, Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable. Have the patience, wait it out. It's all about timing. This is evident in the decision making process of the Chain of Leadership and Management in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. With patience many times the solution to a situation or problem comes to you instead of you chasing it down. Here again, the problem is the patience to wait for the solution to arrive at your doorstep. Patience is the most difficult trait to master and creates the largest stumbling block to solutions. How many times at a flotilla or division meeting did you want to comment on an issue and found yourself biting your tongue as an adversary as a debate rambles on and on. By waiting patiently, your adversary buried himself in his own rhetoric. Problem solved. There are situations that the solution is not coming fast enough and then mistakes are made. A different course may be tried, but patiently staying the course will bring the solution to fruition. Understanding is more of a working tool in confronting problems. It is an agreement of opinion or feeling and an adjustment of differences. It is important to understand all sides when there are various opinions as to a solution. To gain a better understanding of an adversary s point of view in a problematical situation, try walking in the other person s shoes. Look at the problem from his perspective and evaluate his position on an issue. Try stepping out of the picture and looking at the picture or problem as others see it and just maybe you will see that they are not all that right and you are not all that wrong. At this juncture, we now apply the last character quality trait, compromise. Compromise is the give and take in the settlement of differences and consent is reached by mutual concessions. Compromise is the ability to work through a problem by integrating the pros and cons of both sides of an issue and deriving from this an amicable solution. Learning to approach management decision making by always using the character quality traits of patience, understanding and compromise will make for a better leader and result in better and more timely solutions to problems.
