NORFOLK

The civilian business establishmentVictory Lane Motors, located at 6512E. Virginia Beach Blvd. in Norfolk, hasbeen temporarily placed off-limits to allNavy personnel in the Hampton Roadsarea. The business was placed off-limitsJune 20 to all Navy personnel by RearAdm. Dixon R. Smith, Commander,Navy Region Mid-Atlantic (CNRMA),following reports of the establishmentdefrauding its customers. To date, morethan 20 service members have been iden-tified as possible victims of these practic-es. The commander has the authorizationto temporarily place civilian establish-ments off-limits in situations that areconsidered detrimental to the well-beingof Navy personnel.

Service members are encouraged tocontact the Department of Motor Ve-hicles (DMV) who have interacted withthe business in the following ways:

■ Purchased a vehicle from the dealer-ship and never received a title

■ Placed a vehicle on consignment■ Returned a car after purchasingThe best number to contact DMV is

455-0881.The off-limits order applies to all

active duty Navy personnel and NavyReserve personnel on temporary activeduty. This order will be reported to theJoint Armed Force Disciplinary ControlBoard (JAFDCB) of Southeastern Vir-ginia and Northeastern North Carolina.The JAFDCB is required to review thematter and determine if the business willbe formally placed off-limits to all mili-tary personnel.

While the temporary order only ap-plies to Navy personnel, Army Maj.Gen. Ross E. Ridge, Senior CommanderArmy Element, Joint Base Langley-FortEustis and Air Force Col. John J. Allen,633rd Air Base Wing Commander, JointBase Langley-Eustis, have also placedthe business off-limits to Army and AirForce personnel. Other services are alsofree to temporarily place the establish-ment off-limits.

CNRMA intends to keep the establish-ment off-limits until the JAFDCB can

review the matter.Currently, eight area businesses are

“off-limits” to all members of the armedforces:

■ Hampton Pipe and Tobacco, 86 W.Mercury Blvd., Hampton

■ Hampton Pipe and Tobacco, 15435-B Warwick Blvd., Newport News

■ Hampton Pipe and Tobacco, 4796George Washington Memorial High-way, Hayes, Va.

■ Lazy Dayz, 731 J Clyde MorrisBlvd., Ste. B, Newport News

■ Lazy Dayz, 839 W. 21st Street,Norfolk

■ Mellow Smoke Tobacco Shop, 1948Diamond Springs Road, Virginia Beach

■ Outer Edge Gifts, 760-B J. ClydeMorris Blvd., Newport News

■ Blazin Herbs, 85 W Mercury Blvd.,Hampton

The JAFDCB board works closelywith businesses that are considered beingplaced off-limits to avoid these actions.Mitigation efforts demonstrated by areabusinesses and communication to theboard by the businesses often have favor-able results.

Establishments are given the oppor-tunity to notify the JAFDCB in writingthat corrective actions have taken place.Removal from the list will be consid-ered by the board upon presentation thatsatisfactory corrective action has beentaken. Failure to respond will result in theboard making a request for establishmentrepresentatives to appear in person at aformal hearing of the JAFDCB.

The safety and security of all servicemembers is a priority for the Departmentof Defense. The JAFDCB is an investi-gative committee composed of membersfrom each military service and civilianadvisers, who work with local law en-forcement agencies and local businessesto identify conditions which may ad-versely affect the health, safety, welfare,and discipline of the armed forces.

The establishments will remain on theoff-limits list until the next scheduledmeeting of the JAFDCB, where it will bedetermined whether they will remain onthe list or whether they will be removed.

■ protect yourself

Do your research. Use your smartphone to look up the National Automo-bile Dealers Association (NADA) fairmarket value for the vehicle you wantto purchase. Use consumer reports toresearch the reliability of the vehicle.Look of the vehicle history with serviceslike Car Fax, Auto Check or the NationalMotor Vehicle Title Information Systemat vehiclehistory.gov. Apply for an auto-mobile loan with a bank or credit unionto determine how much money you canborrow and how much it will cost toborrow the money. Go to the dealershiparmed with information.

See a lawyer before you sign. Servicemembers have the largest free attorneyservice in the world – Legal assistance.Legal assistance can provide free pre-signature contract review. State andfederal law require that dealershipsprovide the consumer the unsignedcontract to review and take from thedealership. Ask for the terms of the saleon the contract. DO NOT SIGN. Bringthe unsigned contracts to your legalassistance office.

Check your 6. After the purchase, checkwith your bank and make sure that theloan on your trade-in has been paid andthat title to your new vehicle has beenreceived by the bank or credit union.

Use the law. If you did not get title toyour vehicle file forms VSA 12 “Affidavitin Lieu of Title” and VSA 17a “Applica-tion for Certificate of Title” with a copyof your “Bill of Sale” or “Buyers Order”with the Virginia Department of MotorVehicles (DMV). There is a law calledthe Uniform Commercial Code (UCC)that identifies someone in your situationas a Good faith purchaser for value thattakes title free of liens. Your legal assis-tance attorney can explain your rights.

“It was great to work with LaGalite and the Tunisian Navy,”said Cmdr. Curtis Calloway,commanding officer of James

E. Williams. “Engagementslike these sharpen our maritimeforces’ skills so we can ensurethe safety and security of theMediterranean Sea.”

James E. Williams and LaGalite’s boarding teams boardedeach other’s vessels, exercisingskills needed for a maritime in-terdiction operation to counterillicit trafficking. Following the

boarding exercises, the shipsconducted a series of maneuversagainst small boat attacks, whilepracticing tactical communica-tions on open circuits.

“On the global and regional stage, we areallies, and we share a common interest inmaintaining a Europe that is safe, secureand prosperous. We work closely togetherwith the NATO Alliance, with other part-ners across the region, and nation to nation

as well,” said Vice Adm. Phil Davidson,commander, U.S. 6th Fleet. “To the crew ofUSS Ross, I say again, welcome! Welcometo Rota. Welcome to 6th Fleet. Welcome toone of the most dynamic operational envi-ronments in the world. You have workedmany long hours to get here, and we aregoing to put your training to the test.

USSTHEODORE ROOSEVELT, AT SEA

Sounds of shuffling feet echoed off the bulkhead in thehangar bay. Orange overhead lights glowed in the hazeof the warm, humid night air.

The open ocean and a helicopter framed a Sailorbouncing a soccer ball from knee to knee during a soccerskills tournament aboard the aircraft carrier USS Theo-dore Roosevelt (CVN 71), June 7.

To help Sailors get into the FIFA World Cup spirit,Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) held the event,which tested Sailor’s juggling and ball-handling skills.

“We came up with the idea for the soccer skills competi-tion by talking with other ships,” said Megan Villapudua,TR’s MWR representative. “The idea was perfect with thestart of the World Cup happening this week.

“With this event we were able to appeal to a differentcrowd of Sailors,” said Villapudua. “The Sailors cameout and responded to the event and it looked like theyhad a lot of fun.”

It can take years for soccer players to perfect theirskills. “It has taken me a long time to be able to handlea soccer ball like that,” said Airman Hunter Jarrett, fromPortland, Oregon. “I started at a young age and just keptworking at it.”

Sailors not only came out to showcase their skills, theyalso came out to unwind with fellow soccer enthusiasts.

“During the skills competition Sailors were cheeringeach other on,” said Villapudua. “After the skills test wasdone they just started little pickup games in the hangar bay.”

By Mark O. PiggottNaval Weapons Station Yorktown Public Affairs

WILLIAMSBURG

It sits in a corner of YorkCounty, just off Route 199,next to the York River in theheart of the “Historic Trian-gle”—Yorktown, Williams-burg and Jamestown. Theland is rich in history, fromthe first settlers in the NewWorld and the colonist’s fightfor independence to the in-famous “Seven Days Battle”during the Civil War. It hasbeen known as “Utimaria”and “Penniman” but todayit’s called Cheatham Annex,or CAX, a part of NavalWeapons Station (WPNSTA)Yorktown.

Commissioned on June 21,1943, Cheatham Annex wasa U.S. Navy Supply Depot,named after Rear AdmiralJoseph Johnston Cheatham,a former Chief of the Bureauof Supplies and Accounts, aforerunner to Naval SupplySystems Command. Today itis a hub of activity from itsdiverse industrial complex tonaval expeditionary trainingfacilities and outdoor recre-ation sites for military per-sonnel and their dependents.CAX has grown from verysimple beginnings to a vitalasset for the U.S. Navy.

The first industrial useof the land came about as aresult of World War I. TheDuPont Company bought outthe area farms and built a mu-nitions plant with more than10,000 employees. A small

town sprang up around thenew facility named Penni-man, after Russell S. Penni-man, the inventor of ammo-nia dynamite.

By the start of World WarII, military interest in thearea quickly developed, notfor munitions, but rather forsupply. The site was selectedlargely due to its partiallydeveloped harbor, whichcould easily expand to ac-commodate large vessels.With major rail facilities andhighway access, CAX wasutilized as an assembly andshipping point for materi-als being shipped overseasduring World War II.

At CAX, there is some-thing more for the militaryfamily available year-round.CAX is home to the largestMorale, Welfare and Recre-

ation (MWR) Outdoor Rec-reation facility on the EastCoast. Active duty, reservistsand military retirees and theirdependents can take advan-tage of a wide range of facili-ties, including 54 cabins, 50RV parking spots, 20 primi-tive campsites and more than10 miles of hiking and moun-tain biking trails. Along withfishing on two lakes and theYork River, swimming pooland an 18-hole golf course,the MWR Outdoor Recre-ation is ideal for militaryfamilies looking for a chanceto relax.

Cheatham Annex may bea sleepy little base in a smallcorner of the Virginia Penin-sula, but it has supported ourNavy through countless con-flicts in defense of our nationfor more than 71 years.

Forces participating inBaltic Operations (BAL-TOPS) 2014, including theU.S. 6th Fleet command andcontrol ship, USS MountWhitney (LCC 20), arrived inKiel, Germany, June 20 afterthe successful completion ofBALTOPS 2014.

“Coming together forBALTOPS was like climbinga mountain, we have come tothe top and planted the BAL-TOPS flag,” said Brig. Gen.Ola Truedsson, BALTOPSdeputy commander, speak-ing to the task force staff justprior to pulling into port.

BALTOPS is an annual,multinational exercise to en-hance maritime capabilities,interoperability and supportregional stability. This year’sBALTOPS, the 42nd since1971’s inaugural exercise,saw the participation of navalforces from 14 countries in-cluding Belgium, Denmark,Estonia, Finland, Georgia,Germany, Latvia, Lithuania,The Netherlands, Norway,

Poland, Sweden, the UnitedKingdom, the United Statesand NATO.

“What I can remember ofprevious exercises is that itwas never as big and as im-pressive as it is now,” saidRoyal Netherlands Navy Lt.Cmdr. William Vandergeest,current operations planner forBALTOPS 2014.

Vandergeest would know,as this is marked the fourthtime he has participated in the

exercise. “Working in an exer-cise with so many ships fromdifferent nations - I wrote tomy wife the other day and toldher, ‘you know this is prob-ably my professional high-light’,” said Vandergeest.

Planning the largest navalexercise in the Baltic regionbegan in September of lastyear, leading up to the of-ficial kick off in Karlskrona,Sweden; where, followinga face-to-face pre mission

brief, participating navies setsail for nearly two weeks ofinteroperability training.

Serialized exercise evolu-tions culminated with thefinal tactical exercise duringwhich the group divided intoopposing forces to test col-laborative responses in keyareas such as command andcontrol, tactical maneuver-ing, and rules of engagement.

“It was a busy two weeks.We conducted practice board-

ings of cooperative merchantshipping with teams from 4nations. We exercised coop-erative air defense against,and with, land based tacticalaircraft from the air forces of3 nations. We came togetherin coordinated anti-subma-rine warfare with U.S. andpartner ships, submarines, he-licopters and maritime patrolaircraft. We conducted a minedetonation demonstration todrive home the importance

of mine warfare. Finally, weexecuted two days of tacticalintegration in a fictional sce-nario,” said Commander ofBALTOPS 2014 Rear Adm.Rick Snyder.

Vice Adm. Phil Davidson,6th fleet commander, calledBALTOPS 2014 a completesuccess and stressed the impor-tance of the annual exercise.

“This year’s exercise wasdynamic and challenging,including a full spectrum ofoperations - and it was de-signed to ensure that, as alliesand partners, we are preparedto respond where it matters,when it matters. And it mat-ters here in the Baltic,” saidDavidson.

Although the at sea por-tion of the exercise conclud-ed with the force’s arrival inKiel, exercise participantswill convene for a post-sailconference upon arrival. Thisfinal event provides an oppor-tunity for planners and partic-ipants to collect feedback thatwill ensure continued successof the largest, multinationalnaval exercise in the Balticregion.

NAVSTANorfolk holdsT.G.I. FitnessChallengeBy MC3 Justin R. DiNiroNavy Public Affairs Support Element East

NORFOLK

Sailors from ten different commandsaboard Naval Station Norfolk testedtheir competitiveness during the T.G.I.Fitness Challenge, June 20.

The bas, in coordination with Morale,Welfare and Recreation (MWR), hostedthe fourth annual T.G.I. Fitness Chal-lenge for Sailors to build camaraderiebetween shipmates and raise overall fit-ness awareness.

“The events started as a friendly fit-ness competition,” said Duffy Duram,MWR athletic director. “We’ve beenhosting the competition annually and ithas been a great opportunity for every-one to come out and have some fun.”

Each team competed in events suchas relay races, agility courses, obstaclecourses and a sand bag relay.

“It’s a great time, coming out hereand winning the first place trophy forthe second year in a row,” said Senior

Chief Master-at-Arms Marcus Black-well, attached to USS Abraham Lincoln(CVN 72). “Events like this build greatcamaraderie and challenge Sailors toembrace their physical fitness throughvarious events.”

The object of the competition is toengage Sailors in different forms ofphysical activity.

The base emphasizes exploring otheractivities to promote a healthy lifestyle.

“We did really good at this event andevery member of our team put forth ahuge effort,” said Aviation Machinist’sMate 1st Class Anthony Pangelinan fromFleet Readiness Center Mid-AtlanticNorfolk (FRCMA). “It was huge takingthe win in tug of war, but everyone hadfun and that is what’s important.”

USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72)topped the leaderboard throughout theevent taking 1st place in the FitnessChallenge, Helicopter Mine Counter-measures Squadron 15 (HM 15) fin-ished in second place and FRCMA-Norfolk earned the third place spot.

ployer has to move around alot of people in order to allowme to come out here and keepmy skills up at a high level,”said Sherlock.

“Outstanding employersupport goes beyond allow-ing Sailors time to train,”said Braun. “Employer sup-port can mean any numberof things. These employershave shoveled snow, mowedlawns, invited family mem-bers to company outings andeven provided presents atChristmas, all in support ofmobilized service membersand their families.”

Following lunch, the hon-orees had the opportunity towitness life aboard a Navyship during a tour of am-

phibious assault ship USSIwo Jima (LHD 7), and expe-rience the tight quarters of afast attack submarine aboardUSS Scranton (SSN 756) atNaval Station Norfolk.

Although impressed withthe various air and sea plat-forms and hardware ReserveSailors use in their Navyjobs, Tammy Heiser of theUnited Service Organizationin Arlington, Va., was moreexcited to meet and interactwith the Sailors who manthem. “It’s great for us to beable to come out and see whatour Sailors actually do. Youcan tell they enjoy talkingabout it as much as we enjoylistening and learning,” saidHeiser. “They really light upand you can see the pride inwhat they do.”

The event wrapped up witha trip to Chambers Field atNaval Air Station Norfolkwhere employers had theopportunity to see F/A-18,F-5, E-2, HH-60, and C-40aircraft and meet with avia-tors from regional squadronsbefore ending their day at areception at the historic Penn-sylvania House.

“Employers are a keyfacet of every Reserve Sail-or’s life. The service eachSailor provides to the Fleetis achieved in no small partdue to their employer’s sup-port,” said Braun. “By al-lowing their employees toserve, they enable the NavyReserve to contribute to ournation’s mission overseas andat home. Their support cannever be taken for granted.”

These providers can be in-dependent duty corpsmen onsmall ships, medical officerson carriers or doctors at mili-tary hospitals and clinics whodon’t have local access to spe-cific specialties.

“The system allows inputfor medical history and physi-cal symptoms of the patient,the medications they are onand the consult questions,”said Cmdr. Andrew Lin, oneof HELP’s consult managers.“Providers can also uploadmedia files, like pictures,X-rays or sound files. Once theconsult is added to the system,it comes to a consult managerat NMCP who decides whichspecialty to forward it to for ananswer. And then the specialistsuggests a course of treatmentbased on the case presented.”

The goal of the consultsystem is to reduce unneces-sary medical evacuations fromships at sea and overseas, aswell as to reduce patient refer-ral to the civilian health carenetwork.

According to HELP policy,specialists at NMCP willanswer a consult within 72hours of its submission, butresponse time is expected tobe quicker - around 14 hours- based on response times bya similar system on the westcoast. HELP uses the sametechnology as PATH, or Pacif-ic Asynchronous TeleHealthsystem, which was developedby Tripler Army MedicalCenter in Hawaii.

“I think it will be par-ticularly important for NavyMedicine East,” said Lt. Col.C. Becket Mahnke, PATH di-rector. “If there’s somebodyat Jacksonville who needs tosee a specialist not availablethere, the primary care doctor

has the ability to say, ‘Do Ineed to send them to the net-work provider? Instead, I canuse the specialists at NMCP.’We’ve found that in two-thirdsof cases in PATH, we wereable to answer the questionwithout that face-to-face visitwith a specialist.”

PATH processes more than3,000 cases a year from 20hospitals and clinics through-out the Pacific region involv-ing 40 different medical andsurgical specialties, saving upto $750,000 annually in mede-vac costs. In a review of 1,000pediatric teleconsultationsthrough PATH, referral to alocal specialist was decreasedby up to 43 percent with a costsavings of at least $200,000.HELP is expected to givemilitary treatment facilities onthis side of the globe similarsavings and reduction in net-work referrals.

“We’ve reduced redundanttesting, including labora-tory and radiological tests,”Mahnke said. “By coordi-nating ahead of time for pa-tients we do have to medevac,we’ve decreased time awayfrom their duty stations be-cause their registration andappointments have been pre-arranged.”

Prior to HELP going live,Lin spent the first half of Juneinforming staff, residents andinterns at NMCP about thesystem and its benefits. Resi-dents and interns who are pre-paring to graduate can beginassignments around the fleetknowing that expert consulta-tion is only a few mouse clicksaway.

“I’m hoping it will stream-line consults, give people inthe fleet better access to ourservices, prevent unnecessarymedical evacuations and un-necessary triage phone calls

and consults,” said Cmdr. Mi-chelle Morrison, Otolaryngol-ogy Department head. “Forexample, we’ve been referredpatients with trauma whodon’t need surgical interven-tion and which would heal onits own in a few weeks, so theydon’t need to see us acutely. Iwould say every day some-body in the department seessomeone unnecessarily.”

Lin is also setting up ac-counts for NMCP staff whowould be responding to con-sults and training them howto use the system. NMCP’sfirst consults were for derma-tology.

“The system is pretty easyto use, pretty intuitive,” saidstaff dermatologist Lt. Cmdr.Brooke Caufield. “Havingdone two consults today, thetime spent in front of the com-puter is brief and direct. Eachindividual case is pretty easyand the questions were ap-propriate and easy to answer.When we are the duty provid-er, we typically get five con-sults by phone. Certainly, forthe places that don’t have der-matology nearby, this wouldbe a lot easier.”

HELP offers additionalbenefits: completed consultscan be added to the patient’smedical record, NMCP cantrack specialty workload toensure staff is available for allpatient care, and NMCP cananalyze the nature of the con-sults to identify opportunitiesto provide additional trainingto the providers who submitconsults.

Lin expects that consultswill trickle in at first, butwithin the next few monthsor year, as word spreads, thetelemedicine system willreally help patients get im-proved access to quality spe-cialty care.

NORFOLK

The aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roos-evelt (CVN 71) kicked off the three-dayBoard of Inspection and Survey (INSURV)with more than 130 inspectors, both mili-tary and civilian, coming aboard June 23.

The inspection will cover the ship’sthousands of spaces. Inspectors will scourmore than 200 miles of piping, 1,600miles of cable and 30,000 light fixtures.The inspection will test various systemsand verify safety gear inventories.

“INSURV, as tough and as thorough asit is, ultimately looks at how well we areperforming,” said Lt. Cmdr. Angela Lefler,INSURV coordinator aboard USS Theo-dore Roosevelt. “It also gives us a guidefor what to look for and helps identifytrends among the other ships in the fleet.”

An important part of INSURV requiresSailors to check all of the lifesavingequipment aboard the ship. The inspec-tors ensure Sailors properly account forevery float coat, self-contained breathingapparatus (SCBA) and emergency escapebreathing device (EEBD) to confirm theymeet required standards.

“Inspectors are checking everythingfrom padeyes to the propulsion plants,”said Lefler. “They are here to ensure thatour material condition meets the Navy-wide standard.”

Theodore Roosevelt will show off herskills to the inspectors with a varietyof demonstrations to validate the shipmeets operational standards. Full powerdemonstrations, main drainage and de-tect-to-engage (DTE) are the three mainobjectives TR’s crew must successfullycomplete to pass INSURV. TR completedanchor drops and Aqueous Film FormingFoam (AFFF) testing during previous un-derways.

“The DTE tests all of our radars toensure that contacts can be seen. Fullpower demonstrations ensure that wecannot only speed up and slow downquickly but can maintain high speeds ifneeded,” said Lefler. “Each of the maindemos goes toward the overall INSURVscore but have their own individual scorethey must meet.”

Sailors need to be ready to assist any in-spector. Even those not directly involvedin the inspections should treat the inspec-tors with the same courtesy as they wouldany other guest.

“This is a unified effort throughout theship,” said Chief Hospital Corpsman Mi-chael Mann, assistant INSURV coordina-tor aboard USS Theodore Roosvelt. “Wewant everyone actively engaged. Whenwe are pier side, don’t immediately goto the hangar bay and jump on your cell-phone. We still have a lot of INSURVdemos to get through. So let’s not lose themomentum.”

WASHINGTON

After more than a decade of large,land-based operations driven by thewars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the pro-posed Defense Department budgetfor the coming fiscal year focuses onnew and emerging threats, includingthose in cyberspace, with the depart-ment proposing significant reductionsin the size of the Army and Marines,Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel tolda Senate panel June 18.

“After 13 years of long, large sta-bility operations, we must shift ourfocus onto future requirements shapedby enduring and emerging threats,”Hagel told the Senate AppropriationsCommittee’s defense subcommittee,largely recapitulating the main pointscontained in the proposed Pentagonbudget first unveiled in February.

“We must be able to defeat terror-ist threats and cyberattacks and deteradversaries with increasingly modernweapons and technological capabili-ties,” Hagel added.

Even so, Hagel said, the depart-ment is taking a $75 billion hit inits budget this year and next, and hewarned lawmakers “we cannot keepour current force structure adequate-ly ready and modernized” under thestrict budget limits being imposed onthe department.

Mabus spoke at a Navy Yard ceremony heldto honor the three women and nine men whodied that day after a contract employee enteredthe base and opened fire, as well as to honorthe courage and sacrifice of numerous others.

“As a family, we grieve and continue togrieve,” Mabus said. “We gather here again asa family to recognize the heroism of those welost and the heroism that confronted evil onthat day last fall.”

PORTSMOUTH

Starting June 27, TRICARE beneficiaries inHampton Roads will have access to a new tool to helpthem decide whether they need to seek immediatecare.

The Nurse Advice Line will be available 24/7 to allTRICARE beneficiaries by calling 1-800-TRICARE(option 1). Callers will be connected to a team ofregistered nurses who can answer a variety of urgenthealth care questions. They can help the patient decidewhether self-care is the best option, or if it they shouldsee a health care provider.

First, the beneficiary's eligibility through DEERSwill be verified. Then, a registered nurse will ask thebeneficiary a series of questions to provide the bestadvice possible.

If the beneficiary has a question about their child,the beneficiary will be routed to a pediatric nurse. Iffollow up is needed, the beneficiary will be calledback later to check the child's status. The nurse canmake same-day appointments for TRICARE ben-eficiaries enrolled to a military hospital or clinic. If asame-day appointment is not available, the nurse willdirect the beneficiary to the closest urgent care center,and advise their primary care manager that a referralis needed so the patient won't have point-of-service

co-pays. TRICARE ben-eficiaries not enrolled to amilitary hospital or clinicwill receive professionalhealth advice and wheth-er to seek urgent care.

Beneficiaries canstill call their PCM orclinic, but the NurseAdvice Line is anoth-er option for patients,especially after hoursor on the weekend.

The Nurse AdviceLine may also reducethe number of unneces-sary Emergency Room visits.More than a quarter of all ER visits are gen-erally for non-emergency issues. National estimatesfor civilian care indicate that one-half of all ER pa-tients would have seen a primary care doctor had onebeen available. Unnecessary ER and Urgent Carevisits cause longer wait times for patients, additionalworkload for staff, additional stress on resources, andhigher costs to the Military Health System. The NurseAdvice Line will help direct non-emergency and non-urgent visits to routine providers relieving strain onthe ER system as well as increasing beneficiary accessto their primary care manager or urgent care facilities.

“Stay on a budget without even trying? Yeah,right,” said SpouseBuzz reader Tara Reeder.

Tara isn’t kidding. It’s one thing to have a budgetapp on your phone reminding you how you reallycan’t afford to go out to dinner again. It is anotherthing to actually resist going out to dinner.

How do you stay on budget without lashingyourself to your own front porch?

Spouses who attended Military.com’s SpouseExperience event at Joint Base Lewis McChordand our USAA money gurus gave us their top 10tips on what they do stay on budget. What wouldyou add to their list?

1. Marry someone who doesn’tlike to spend money.

JJ Montanaro, Certified Financial Planner withUSAA, said that in his career he has noticed thatthere are two kinds of people in the world: saversand spenders. And that they marry each other.

That can be a problem. Or a fantastic advangate.Sara Hoff said the best money decision she evermade was to marry her husband (who hates spend-ing money.)

2. Trick yourself early and often.The part of the brain that controls spending must

be so basic that it works on autopilot—like breath-ing. Me see sushi. Me want sushi. Me give creditcard to pay $60 for sushi. Me no understand whyno money to cover sushi bill?

The Budget Queens among our SpouseXersfigure that part of the brain is D-U-M-B. So theyset out to trick it early and often.

They used all-cash systems in which you putcash into envelopes for each different category andthen stop spending when the cash is gone. Or theyused a cash card system with an automatic spend-ing limit. Or an app on their phone for autotrack-ing that calls your mother if you overspend (surelythey were making that one up?)

“Set an allotment to go straight to savings,”advised Kelly K. You can’t spend it if you can’tsee it.”

3. Divide and conquer.There is an old rule that says it is better to tell

your dollars where they are going than to ask themwhere they went. Dividing money into little potshelped our readers stay honest with themselves.

Scott Halliwell, a Certified Financial Plan-ner with USAA, told one Spouse X crowd thathe keeps seven (7!!) different savings accounts.These accounts are for things like Christmas, hiskids sports expenses, vacation, and charitablegiving.

“For us, separating the money into different ac-counts does two things: It keeps us from using iton something else and it gives us piece of mind toknow that the money will be there when we needit,” said Scott.

4. Temptress, know thyself.Our spouses said that if you really want to stay

on budget, you don’t go hang out in the placeswhere you can’t help but buy. If you really wantto stay on budget, you don’t go shopping whenyou are feeling low.

So don’t fool yourself. Everyone knows wheretheir own temptation lies. Many of our readers saidthat Target was kinda irresistible. Shop with a listand stick to it or don’t let yourself go in the store.

5. Do Dave Ramsey.While this hardly qualifies as staying-on-bud-

get-without-even-trying, I must admit that overand over our participants swore by Dave Ramsey’sdebt reduction method by name.

They like his no-holds-barred approach and thatthe participation of both partners is required.

Rachael Mayo is a big Ramsey fan. “Budgetevery month with your spouse whether you are indebt or not,” said Rachel.

6. Understand the difference between wantsand needs.

Senior spouses were more likely to bring up theidea of wants and needs, possibly from prior ex-perience.

“If you and your service member can reallylook at something and see the difference betweena need (milk for the kids) and a want (ice cream

for dessert), then you can make it,” said one forty-something spouse.

Understanding the difference between wantsand needs is a huge concept. So is the idea of“enough.”

7. Eat at home during the week.No matter what activities you have going on,

make a rule that you always eat at home during theweek. That’s a good tip. It makes the eat-out deci-sion much less subject to whether or not you feellike cooking. Is it Wednesday? Then we are eatingat home, people!

Our readers said that having a plan for theseweeknight meals helps a lot. Katherine Adlerswears by her crock pot. Jessica Strandberg leanson leftovers. Katie G says that a menu plan helpsher family order fewer pizzas.

8. Cultivate your inner Scrooge.Ol’Scrooge gets a bad rap. Sure, he was a penny

pinching old miser. But he liked it! He loved it! Hethought up new ways to save all the time!!

Cultivate a little Scroogey joy in yourself bylisting all the ways to save money. Going out tolunch instead of dinner. Don’t order $2 sodas at arestaurant, just order water. Cut your own grass.Learn to cut your soldiers hair. Grow plants fromseeds. Research military discounts. Buy meat inlarger packages that you can separate and freeze.Grow vegetables and herbs. Recycle school sup-plies. Whatever you do, love it like Ebeneezer andstaying on budget will seem a lot easier.

9. Use your sweaters.Scrooge himself kept Bob Cratchit on his toes

by keeping heat consumption to a minimum. Heat-ing and cooling costs really do add up.

Commander, Navy Installations Command Public Affairs

WASHINGTON

Commander, Navy Installations Command’s Navy Op-erational Fitness and Fueling System (NOFFS) programis launched three new workout series apps for your smartphone or tablet, June 20. These high-intensity programs- the Strength, Endurance, and Sandbag series - provideSailors with a “best-in-class” physical fitness and nutritionprogram.

NOFFS was developed by the Navy in partnership withEXOS (formerly Athlete’s Performance Institute). The Op-erational Series provides the foundational exercises that aredesigned to replicate the activities Sailors conduct in theiroperational duties: lifting, pushing, pulling, and carrying.Each additional series (Strength, Endurance, and Sandbag)was developed to provide training modes that address thespecial interests of users.

“The Strength Series will assist Sailors with develop-ing the strength that is needed to perform at their highestlevel,” said Nick Aures, Performance Enhancement Dieti-tian, Commander, Navy Installations Command. “There arethree training phases within the series that are intended toprogressively build total work capacity and improve cardio-vascular fitness.”

The first phase, Build Muscle, is focused on building leanmuscle mass and improving the body’s capacity to handlegreater physical demands through a higher volume of work.The second phase, Get Strong, focuses on building strengththrough fewer repetitions and higher intensity. The finalphase, Get Powerful, harnesses the user’s newfound strengthand trains their muscles to be fast and forceful.

“The workouts in The Endurance Series are designed toassist with breaking through training plateaus, while de-creasing injuries often associated with traditional endurancetraining,” added Aures. “The workouts can be accomplishedin a number of ways, including running, biking, rowing, orusing any cardiovascular machine.”

Beyond the cardiovascular training in this series, addi-tional training components that are vital to sustained successwith endurance activities have been incorporated. These in-clude pillar prep, strength maintenance, soft tissue release,and plyometrics.

Although these components can be completed in separateworkouts, together they will provide the tools necessary tomaximize results. The six phases of cardiovascular trainingprogressively develop both the aerobic and anaerobic energysystems, effectively enhancing your ability to cover a greaterdistance at a faster pace.

The ability to customize these workouts based on heart rateand/or rate of perceived exertion (RPE) will make the workoutschallenging and effective throughout the phases.

“The Sandbag Series provides Sailorswith a training plan that can be performedin environments with limited equipmentoptions. It will help them develop thestrength and power they need to meetthe performance demands placed uponthem in any environment,” said Aures.“The added challenge of perform-ing traditional exercises with a lessstable mass (a sand-filled bag) pro-vides a unique training experience thatmimics the demands experienced inday-to-day life.”

The Sandbag Series also progress-es through three phases of training bybuilding upon the work completed inthe previous phase and preparing forwhat’s to come.

The first phase, Build Your Base,establishes a strong base fitnesslevel. The second phase, GainMuscle, develops lean musclemass and increases workout ca-pacity through the use of a highernumber of sets and repetitions.

In the third phase, Get Powerful, move-ments will become more explosive, there-fore developing the power necessary forimmediate bursts of energy often requiredin operational environments.

“Two additional elements that areavailable in each series include the fuel-ing aspect and the regeneration compo-nent,” explained Aures.

The fueling aspect of NOFFS will allowSailors to determine their total caloric needsto achieve personal goals, while the mealbuilder enables them to select high-octanefoods for each meal, populate their meal plana week at a time, and email it to themselves.

The regeneration component will assistSailors with addressing common aches andpains. The soft tissue release techniques combined with theflexibility routine will help restore muscular balance, andensure that Sailors develop and maintain the mobility neces-sary for high-level performance.

Interactive apps for each series are available at no cost foriOS devices (iPhone, iPad, or iPod), with Android devicesbeing released shortly. The apps provide detailed guidanceand examples of each exercise, along with scrolling picturesand videos that can be viewed with a quick swipe. Search for“NOFFS” in the App Store or on the Google Play Store app.

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA

U.S. Navy surgeons are performing multiplesurgeries alongside Cambodian physicians atthe Preah Ket Mealea Hospital in Phnom Penhas part of Pacific Partnership 2014.

“We are having a subject matter exchangeinteraction,” said Lt. Cmdr. Ian Fowler. “Weare showing them how we do things. It is in-teresting to learn from them as well. It is verysimilar to our procedures.”

The Cambodia phase of Pacific Partnershipbegan June 19.

Three surgeons specializing in general sur-gery, orthopedics and obstetrician gynecologywill be at the Preah Ket Mealea Hospital forfour days. They are performing surgeries suchas hernia repairs, uterine prolapse procedures,hemorrhoid removal and lipoma removal.

“We have had a great exchange of informa-tion with the Cambodian doctors,” said Fowler.“They are very well trained and they want tolearn what we are teaching them and I love toask them questions.”

The purpose of this mission is to increaseinteroperability between the U.S. and Cambo-dian military physicians as well as gather anassessment of where their skill levels are forpossible future interactions.

“The interaction has been very good,” saidLt. Cmdr. Matthew Wilson, a general surgeon.“The language barrier has not been that dif-ficult to overcome. Surgery is a universal lan-guage. Everyone knew the next step in the op-eration so it went very smoothly.”

Pacific Partnership is in its ninth iteration andis the largest annual multilateral humanitarianassistance and disaster relief preparedness mis-sion conducted in the Asia-Pacific region.

Navy Environmental PreventiveMedicine Unit Seven Public Affairs

ROTA, SPAIN

Vice Adm. Matthew Nathan, Surgeon General ofthe Navy and Chief, Bureau of Medicine and Surgery(BUMED), joined Navy Environmental and PreventiveMedicine Unit (NEPMU) 7 in Rota, Spain for a recom-missioning and ribbon-cutting ceremony, June 20.

Capt. Juliann Althoff, NEPMU 7 officer incharge, welcomed personnel and guests, includ-ing several distinguished visitors, to the ceremonyand thanked the BUMED, Navy and Marine CorpsPublic Health Center, U.S. Navy Forces Europe andAfrica (NAVEUR), and Naval Station Rota for theirwork in helping the unit re-establish following aneight-year hiatus.

During her remarks, Althoff emphasized NEPMU7’s mission to support the fleet and deployed forceswith its public health initiatives and requirements.

“You are looking at Navy medicine’s latest asset,a forward based preventive medicine unit, thefirst Navy medicine unit to be stood up in recentmemory,” said Althoff. “This ceremony representsthe return of NEPMU 7, a unit first commissionedalmost 60 years ago. It pays tribute to the unit’s richhistory while looking forward to the promise of itsbright future here in Rota.”

Previously disestablished in September 2006,NEPMU 7 will once again provide a comprehen-sive range of public health and preventive medicineservices to customers within the Africa and Europeareas of responsibility.

“We are designed to be responsive while maintain-ing a small footprint, able to quickly deploy smallcapability-based teams throughout the theater in sup-port of deployed forces,” said Althoff.

“What this unit represents are thousands and thou-sands of people they’ll never see. Why won’t yousee them? Because you won’t have to, because theywon’t be ill. You won’t have to because they’ll beout performing the mission. And they won’t need

to be brought in and tended to,” said Nathan. “Untilyou’ve suffered something from the environmentaround you, you can’t appreciate what these peopledo. They’re agile, they’re expert and they’re going tobe out there and they’re going to keep us in our job.”

At the ceremony, Nathan was piped on with sevensideboys and one military working dog.

“This was the first time with a dog, and I liked it,”he said.

First established as Navy Preventive Medicine 7in 1956 and commissioned May 2, 1957, the com-mand received its current designation of NEPMU 7in 1971. The unit provided public health services to6th Fleet and the European Theater and was origi-nally homeported at Naval Support Activity Naplesand relocated to Naval Air Station Sigonella in 1995.

The decision to re-establish NEPMU 7 includeda change of venue from its former location in Sigo-nella, Italy to its new home in Rota, Spain.

Navy medicine’s facilities team from the BUMEDdetachment in Jacksonville, Florida worked close-ly with the Navy and Marine Corps Public HealthCenter (NMCPHC), NAVEUR and NAVSTA Rotain the selection, design and renovation of the facilityfor NEMPU 7, according to Mike Plante, BUMEDdirector for Installations and Logistics.

“The project was ably managed by Lt. Shaun Bott,the BUMED Health Facility Planning and ProjectOfficer (HFPPO), from design through the facilityrenovation phase,” said Plante.

President Barack Obamapraised the courage andprofessionalism of those in-volved in the operation thatresulted in the capture ofAhmed Abu Khatallah, a keyfigure in the September 2012attacks on U.S. facilities inBenghazi, Libya.

“The United States has anunwavering commitment tobring to justice those respon-sible for harming Americans.Since the deadly attacks onour facilities in Benghazi,I have made it a priority tofind and bring to justice thoseresponsible for the deaths offour brave Americans,” thepresident said in a statement.

“The fact that he is now inU.S. custody is a testament

to the painstaking efforts ofour military, law enforcementand intelligence personnel,”he said. “Because of theircourage and professionalism,this individual will now facethe full weight of the Ameri-can justice system.”

Even as the nation welcomesthe operation’s success, thepresident said, it also pauses toremember the four Americanswho gave their lives in Beng-hazi representing their country:Ambassador Chris Stevens,Sean Smith, Tyrone Woodsand Glen Doherty.

“As I said shortly after theattack, they exemplified thevalues that we stand for as anation, including a commit-ment to freedom and justice,”Obama said. “All Americansshould be grateful for theirservice, just as we are gratefulto all our personnel – civilianand military – who representour country around the globe.

NEWPORT, R.I.

The U.S. Naval War College (NWC)kicked off the 65th annual Current Strat-egy Fourm (CSF) with a keynote ad-dress from the Chief of Naval Operations(CNO) Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, June17, at the NWC in Newport, Rhode Island.

As NWC’s capstone academic event,the two-day forum brings together dis-tinguished guests and students to exploreissues of strategic national importance.This year’s theme, “American GrandStrategy and Sea Power: Challenges andChoices,” focuses on challenging as-sumptions and undertaking a strategic as-sessment of the future.

“We’ve gathered a diverse group ofindividuals here,” said Greenert. “Every-one from junior, mid and senior officersto scholars, civilians and retirees owns apiece of this [strategy] and we’re here rightnow to roll up our sleeves and get to work.”

In his opening remarks, Greenertstressed upon leaders the importance ofcoming together regularly to ensure thatthe conversation to develop naval strategydoesn’t end at the completion of the event.

“We need to come together periodical-ly to keep the conversations and forumsgoing so that we share more thoughts andideas to develop these strategies,” saidGreenert.

For the first time in its 65-year history,CSF is being co-sponsored by the CNOsoffice for operations, plans and strategy.The underlying premise is to connect thefleet with the strategy being discussed.

“A lot of what we’re doing is looking outto make sure we have the right mechanismsin place to develop future strategists for theNavy,” said Rear Adm. Walter E. “Ted”Carter Jr., president, NWC. “Making surethat we are connected with the fleet, wecan’t do that here without having a signifi-cant partnership with our OPNAV staff.”

To bridge this connection, 25 junior of-ficers from around the fleet and three mid-shipmen from the U.S. Naval Academywere invited to participate in the forum.

“We are reinvigorating the way that wedevelop our strategy and it starts here,”said Rear Adm. James G. Foggo III, as-sistant deputy chief of naval operations foroperations, plans and strategy. “Our intentfor this reinvigoration is to push strategicthinking down to the deckplates.”

Additionally, 1,145 stu-dents graduated by com-pleting coursework throughNWC’s College of DistanceEducation (CDE), whichincludes NWC programs atNaval Postgraduate Schoolin Monterey, Calif., FleetSeminar Program, onlineand CD-ROM programs.

“The level of professional-ism that I experienced hereat the NWC far exceeds anyeducation that I’ve done inmy life,” said Army Col.Jerry Wilson, a CDE gradu-ate and division chief formobilization and readinessat Fort Bragg, N.C. “Mywriting skills have improved,my decision making has im-proved, my abilities to thinkmuch larger, away from atactical world to more of astrategic world, has been theculminating piece of every-thing I’ve done.”

Wilson began his NWCeducation in 2009 as a FleetSeminar Program (FSP) stu-dent attending classes at JointReserve Base Fort Worth inTexas, and completed twocore courses of study beforebeing deployed for a year toDjibouti in 2011.

Following deployment,

Wilson made a permanentchange of station move toFort Bragg, where he en-rolled and was acceptedto complete his final corecourse of study as a FSP stu-dent in Norfolk.

“I was driving once a week,from Fort Bragg, N.C., up toNorfolk, Va., on Thursdays togo to class and driving backFriday morning to go back towork,” said Wilson. “Quittingwas not an option for me. Itwas important that I got mydegree and it was importantthat I finished what I started.”

During the ceremony, stu-dents were recognized and re-ceived either a NWC diplomaor a Master’s of Arts degreein National Security and Stra-tegic Studies.

Carter concluded the cer-emony by charging each ofthe students to grasp futureopportunities and engage or-ganizational leaders as part ofa highly-sought talent pool.

“Each of you departs thiscollege more knowledgeableabout your honorable profes-sion. More in-tune with boththe responsibilities and re-wards of self-less service tothe nation, and intellectuallyrefreshed in order to addressthe many challenges of to-morrow,” said Carter. “I chal-

lenge each of you to followyour own ethical compass,and ensure that those whowork for you, who work withyou, and for whom you work,respect and protect the worthof every individual they en-counter.”

BUDGET | SECDEF Hageldiscusses budget for each branch

NAVY YARD | Victims honoredContinued from front

And unless Congress changes the lawto prevent another budget sequester, headded, another $50 billion will come outof the department’s budget every yearthrough 2021.

This, he said, could occur at a timewhen America’s and the world’s and se-curity are increasingly being challenged.

“Recent crises in Iraq and Ukraineremind us how quickly things can changein the world and they underscore why wemust assure the readiness, agility and ca-pability of our military,” the secretary toldthe senators.

Even so, as outlined in the president’sbudget request sent to Congress earlierthis year, Hagel said the department stillproposes drawing down the active dutyArmy by 13 percent over the next fiveyears to as low 440,000 soldiers, which hesaid he believes is still adequate to defendthe nation and respond to future threats.

The Marine Corps, he said, will con-tinue its planned drawdown to 182,000members while devoting an additional900 Marines to stepping up security atU.S. embassies around the world.

The Navy will have 11 carrier strikegroups, but 11 cruisers will be set asidefor modernization and retrofitting, while

the Air Force will see the 50-year-old U-2surveillance plane replaced by the un-manned Global Hawk aircraft, as well asan end to the aging A-10 attack aircraft.

Compensation for those in uniformis being adjusted, Hagel said, with thedepartment slowing the growth in payincreases, while subsidies for off-basehousing will be reduced as well. Co-paysfor retirees and family members underthe TRICARE health care plan will facemodest increases, but health care foractive duty personnel will remain free, thesecretary told the panel, adding that theadjustments are tied to resourcing readi-ness.

“Under our plan, 100 percent of thesavings from compensation reform willgo toward ensuring that our troops havethe training and tools they need to accom-plish their missions,” he said.

But Hagel warned that if Congress doesnot provide the department the money itneeds, “it will jeopardize the readinessand capability of our armed forces andshortchange America’s ability to effec-tively and decisively respond when globalevents demand it.”

Today’s hearing comes midway througha congressional calendar that is not likelyto see final action on a Pentagon budgetfor months.

“The courage we witnessed on the 16thof September did not end with the closingof that terrible day,” Mabus said, addingthat people began returning to work thefollowing day, and that three days later,most of the Navy Yard was reopened.

“Thousands represented here today,whose lives had been in real peril just threedays before, were back doing the vitalwork of our nation. That courage endures,”he said.

Navy Yard employees embody themottos Semper Fortis - “always coura-geous” - and Semper Fidelis - “alwaysfaithful,” Mabus said.

Navy Adm. Jonathan W. Greenert, chiefof naval operations, said NavyYard person-

nel comprise sailors, civilians and families.“We are all shipmates,” he said. “Last

September [when] tragedy struck, ship-mates demonstrated courage. Since thatday, you have all embodied resilience [and]determination to continue the mission.”

Navy Yard employees, both military andcivilian, are the foundation of Americansea power, Greenert said.

“Your nation turns to you now in thisperiod of our world, and the future, morethan ever before,” the admiral added. “Youhave unmatched dedication, teamwork andpatriotism, and I’m honored to call you myshipmates.”

NORFOLK

The iconic and incomparable Art Garfunkel ismaking his highly anticipated debut at the At-tucks Theatre in Norfolk on June 28 at 8 p.m.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member anddiamond-selling artist had taken time off to re-cover from a vocal ailment. Garfunkel kickedoff his 2014 tour this January in Tennessee andhas been playing a select number of performanc-es throughout the country.

“The voice is back,” Garfunkel said. “I’min flight again. I believe I have grown throughadversity. A new creation has emerged that istruly exciting me – my stage show.”

Garfunkel performed a series of intimatewarm-up shows in late 2013 and is excited tobe back in action. These concerts included astripped-down band, as well as a post-showQ&A with the audience.

The Columbus (OH) Dispatch said, “Hisachievement was considerable…One of the eve-

ning’s singing highlights came as he added abeautiful vibrato to the rich mid-range part of thelovely original ‘Perfect Moment.’ More often,the singer concentrated on the song, scoringwith a romantic take on Antonio Carlos Jobim’s‘mature love song’ ‘Corcovado (Quiet Nights ofQuiet Stars).’ ‘Someone To Watch Over Me’ dis-played the continuing rightness of Garfunkel’sinterpretation of durable standards (12/13/13).”

The Cleveland Plain-Dealer addressed the

show’s format, saying, “For 90 short minutes,Garfunkel enthralled the capacity crowd withsongs, stories and even a question-and-answerperiod. Some of the tales and questions focusedon the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer’s partner,Paul Simon. Some were about his young son,Beau. Some were about his party days in Cali-fornia. Some were about his distaste for textingand technology, and all elicited rapt, hear-a-pin-drop attention…It’s a joy to hear and share thecontentment in his songs and stories (12/14/13).”

You can also dig into ART’s website, wherehe chronicles--in order--every book he has readsince 1968, his 60 favorite songs of all time,acting credits, poetry and discography: www.artgarfunkel.com

Tickets are on sale at the Scope Arena BoxOffice, all Ticketmaster outlets, online at Tick-etmaster.com or via phone at 1-800-745-3000.

insidenascar

By Rick MinterUniversal Uclick

Just a week after all three of its drivers ranuncharacteristically badly at one of its besttracks – Michigan International Speedway –Roush Fenway Racing responded with a winby Carl Edwards at Sonoma Raceway, a trackwhere none of the team’s current drivers hadever won before.

Edwards’ No. 99 Ford was fast in practice,and he qualified fourth. His veteran crew chief,Jimmy Fennig, who last won at Sonoma in1997 with Mark Martin as his driver, made awinning strategy call when he brought Edwardsto pit road on Lap 70. The caution flag flew justafter that, and when that pit stop cycle ended,Edwards wound up among the leaders and tookthe top spot for good from Marcos Ambrose,with 26 of 110 laps left to run.

At the end, Edwards, despite his worn tires,held off runner-up Jeff Gordon (the same driverMartin beat back in ’97) and a fast-closing DaleEarnhardt Jr., who made a late stop for freshtires and recorded the best Sonoma finish of hisCup career.

It was a far different scenario than a weekbefore, when Edwards finished 23rd at Michi-gan, a track where his car owner Jack Roushleads all others in Cup victories. His teammatesfared about as poorly at Michigan, with GregBiffle 20th and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. 27th.

Edwards said in his winner’s interview thathis team didn’t do anything extra special in pre-paring for Sunday’s race on the California roadcourse. He said his team gives 100 percent eachweek.

“Even though we’re not obviously runningas well as we want at the bigger tracks, we pre-pared for this race the very best we could, andwe’ll prepare for Kentucky the best we can,”Edwards said. “We’ve got to go out and takeadvantage of the places where we run well, andthis year it’s been the short tracks and the roadcourse; looks like we’ve got that program goingpretty well.

Edwards now has two wins for the season,the other coming on the short track, BristolMotor Speedway, and is all but guaranteeda Chase berth. But Fennig said that being se-curely in the season-ending, 10-race run for thechampionship won’t change his week-to-weekstrategy.

“I think we just stay with the plan we’ve beendoing,” he said. “We’ve been racing and tryingto improve our mile-and-a-half program, andwe’ve been working really hard at it.”

But it does make life a little easier, he said.“To have two wins right now and be locked

in really feels good because it also adds somebonus points, too,” he said.

Having two wins already this season and

being assured of a Chase berth also seemed tomake a huge difference at Sonoma for Earn-hardt, who had never finished better than 11ththere before.

Although he’s not considered a top road-course talent, he ran among the top five formuch of the race and finished a strong third.Not having to worry about a potential loss ofpoints due to a poor finish seemed to make adifference.

“I had a fast car all weekend, and we figuredthat our best opportunity to run well here wouldbe to pit and get newer tires more often thaneverybody else,” he said. “So having the twowins in the season, it allowed us to really kindof gamble and go ahead and get back there inthe mess and have newer tires, and it paid off.We were able to drive up through there.”

Earnhardt’s run wasn’t flawless. He bobbledonce and knocked Matt Kenseth into a tire bar-rier, destroying Kenseth’s car. Then he had adust-up with A.J. Allmendinger than sent All-mendinger spinning.

“I had an eventful race,” he said. “I tore MattKenseth’s car up pretty bad jumping that curb.I was racing him a little hard there coming outof Turn 7. He probably had the preferred line,and I probably should have yielded to him, butI thought I was a little bit faster than him anddidn’t want to be stuck behind him. I straddleda curb, and it just lost my car in the air right intohis car. I hope he’s not too sore.”
