A14 THE COAST NEWS FEB. 25, 2011 Marine marksman show top skills at Depot Competition CAMP PENDLETON — For the past two weeks, Marines from Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego visited Camp Pendleton’s Edson Range to compete in the 2011 Depot Competition in Arms Program in February. This year’s gunner trophy was awarded to Bravo Range. This year’s overall winner, who out-shot more than 100 competitors in both the rifle and pistol was Cpl. Jeremy Henemyer, infantry field instructor, Weapons Training Battalion, Camp Pendleton. Since Henemyer proved to be the single best shooter this year he has solidified his position on the MCRD rifle team and will compete in the Western Division Matches scheduled to begin March 8 through March 19 at Camp Pendleton. The 12th Marine Corps Recruit District shooting team won the rifle competition and the 9th Marine Corps Recruit District took home the trophy for best pistol team. The annual competition, started in 1999, encompassed both the use of pistols and rifles as Marines competed on teams and as individual shooters. The purpose of the DCIAP is to help identify potential members of the CAMP PENDLETON — In honor of the many contributions made by the African American community to the United States, Camp Pendleton is taking part in observing Black History month throughout February. In 1926, Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, an African American historian, author and journalist, launched “Negro History Week,” so U.S. citizens could reflect on the history and contributions of African Americans. It wasn’t until 1976 that the celebration of black history was expanded to include the entire month of February. The black community has aided in the development of our country in many ways, but one of the more commendable contributions is by defending it as United States Marines. Five African Americans throughout Corps’ history have been Medal of Honor recipients. Pfc. James Anderson Jr. laid the foundation by being the first black Marine to receive the Medal of Honor for his valiant actions during the Vietnam War in 1967. According to his Medal of Honor citation, Anderson and his platoon were advancing in a dense jungle northwest of Cam Lo in an effort to extract a heav- SHARPSHOOTER Marines gathered at Camp Pendleton’s Edson Range to compete in the 2011 Depot Competition in Arms Program in February.

Anderson’s platoon was the lead element and had advanced only 200 meters when they were brought under intense enemy fire. The platoon reacted swiftly, getting on line as best they could in the thick terrain and began returning fire. Anderson found himself tightly bunched together with the other members of the platoon only 20 meters from the enemy positions. As the firefight continued, several of the men were wounded by the deadly enemy assault. Suddenly, an enemy grenade landed in the midst of the Marines and rolled alongside Anderson’s head. Unhesitatingly and with complete disregard for his own personal safety, he reached out, grasped the grenade,pulled it to his chest and curled around it as it went off. Although several Marines received shrapnel from the grenade, his body absorbed the major force of the explosion, saving numerous Marines in the platoon. Since then, four other African American Marines, Pfc. Oscar P. Austin, Pfc. Robert H. Jenkins, Pfc. Ralph H. Johnson and Sgt. Rodney Davis, have sacrificed their lives in efforts tunity for Marines to compete with each other on the rifle range and for the Western Recruiting Region to identify to save those Marines at their side. The Medal of Honor is the highest military decoration given by the U.S. government. It is presented by the U.S. Congress to members of the U.S. Armed Forces who display heroism and unselfishness at its strong shooters for Division matches,” said Capt. Timothy Sparks, adjutant, 12th Marine Corps District the risk of their lives above and beyond the call of duty while engaging in an action against an enemy of the U.S. Black Marines exhibited these qualities throughout history making it one more reason to honor those who have given the greatest sacrifice in defense and rifle team captain. “No expectations were put out for our team other than to just try our best.” MARINES HONORED In honor of Black History Month, Camp Pendleton recognizes the first African- American Marines to be awarded the Medal of Honor.

In observance of Black History Month, the Camp Pendleton Chapter of the National Naval Officers Association hosted the 2011 Black History Month luncheon at the base’s South Mesa Club on Feb. 23. During the event, a variety of competitions were held, including an individual and team pistol and rifle competition and a Gunner’s trophy competition. The Gunner’s match was a team event that simulated a faster-paced shooting style and participants were required to wear a flak jacket and kevlar. “The Gunner’s match was definitely motivating because we were doing the ‘Marine’ thing,” said Sgt. Ted Fidelholtz, administrative clerk, MCRD San Diego. “We don’t get to run around in our flak and kevlar helmet too often, so I think it’s good to be able to take part in something like this.” During the competition, new challenges and difficulties were thrown in to mix-up the events. Usually during pistol qualification, competitors can fire with both hands. However, this year Marines were only allowed to use one hand to steady the weapon, making it more difficult to achieve sight alignment. “I knew every shot I took had to be perfect,” Henemyer said. “I wish I could take all the credit but I know I wouldn’t have been able to do it without my teammates’ support.” Wounded Marines compete in trials CAMP PENDLETON — More than 150 wounded, ill and injured Marines, Marine veterans and international Marines and soldiers will participate in the inaugural Marine Corps Trials aboard Camp Pendleton. The Opening Ceremony and practices were held Feb. 21. A Gold Medal basketball game was conducted Feb. 24 and a volleyball game including a Gold Medal round and a Closing Ceremony was held Feb. 26. The event is hosted by the Wounded Warrior Regiment and will include individual and team competition in sitting volleyball, wheelchair basketball, swimming, cycling, shooting, archery and track/field. Four teams, East, West, Veteran and International, will go head to head for team gold. The international team will have athletes from the British Royal Marines, Dutch Marines and soldiers from TURN TO MARINES ON A15
FEB. 25, 2011 ODD FILES CONTINUED FROM A3 City, Iowa, a teacher at Kirkwood Community College, was best known for a series of “Poetry Comics” until he decided last year to write 100-page poems every day for 100 days, until he had a book totaling 10,000 pages (actually, 10,119). For some reason,the University of Iowa Libraries has published the finished poem, online and in a 2-foot-high hardcopy stack. (Strangely, in a 480-word article describing Morice’s feat, the Iowa City Press-Citizen included not even a hint about the poems’ subject matter.) • In January, Toronto sculptor-photographer Lisa Murphy SHAPER CONTINUED FROM A9 and formulates them into an ultra durable epoxy resin. Super Sap emits no VOCs and does not require the use of harmful solvents or surfacing agents. “This is huge for human safety,” Moss explained. “It doesn’t require solvent. It is five times more flexible and resilient than typical resin.” Finally, the fins are made of bamboo scraps. “The boards are more dynamic in the water, and more resilient with twice the longevity of industry-standard polyester/polyurethane,” he said. Previously, alternatives have resulted in performance issues for surfers. “The few people making ‘green’ boards have run in to two problems; the performance is never as good as a conventional surfboard, and they haven’t been able to demonstrate them as eco-friendly,” Moss said. “Our Eco-boards, refined over the past four years, are better to surf than conventional boards. And we’ve worked hard to establish that our construction processes and materials are, in fact, more environmentally friendly.” Moss built a surfboard for pro surfer Dan Malloy who recently went out to test it. “I got a really fun session on the board over the last swell we had,” Malloy reported. “It flowed really well, and it had unique performance and flex characteristics — looking forward to getting it in the water again!” Moss stands by his product, and welcomes scrutiny. “If you make claim that A Quiet Country Lifestyle Where All Your Needs Are Met ~ elegant assisted living ~ N O W O P E N added to her reputation for devising “porn for the blind” by producing four more handmolded erotic figures generated by using clay to replicate photographic scenes of nude and lingerie-clad models (accompanied by descriptions in Braille). “The butt was the hardest to sculpt,” she said. “I wanted to get it nice and even, and give it a feminine softness so it would actually feel like a woman’s butt.” Her first book, “Tactile Mind,” with 17 such raised erotic works, sells for $225 (Cdn). • Ripley’s Believe It or Not! museum is already home to an artist’s rendition of da Vinci’s TURN TO MORE ODD FILES ON A17 it is more environmentally friendly, then you have to have transparency and accountability,” he said. His Eco-Flex surfboards are the first to receive an “Endorsement of Sustainability,” based on a set of environmental standards for sustainable surfboard manufacturing developed by the Sustainable Surf Coalition (www.sustainablesurfcoalition .org). Tobias Schultz, author of “Surfboard Cradle-to-Grave,” reviewed and approved Moss’ endorsement application. “After a lengthy review process, Moss Research’s Eco- Flex boards satisfy the requirements of a sustainable surfboard, including use of domestic supply chain, company transparency, craftsmanship and durability,” reported Schultz, who is working with Moss Research to create a Company Sustainability Report for 2011, the first in the surfboard industry. Moss’ commitment to the environment extends from the sea to shore. He is also owner of U Grow Organics, a company that creates edible gardens and sustainable landscapes that maximizes human health and minimizes ecological impact. He is passing his knowledge along to a new generation as head of the organic food garden at Del Mar Elementary School. For more details, visit www.Ugroworganics.com.
