C H A I R M A N ’ S M E S S A G ETom GoodsonChairmanCanaveral Port AuthorityBoard of CommissionersMarina Projects Help FulfillMaster Plan VisionIt’s very fulfilling when a vision and a plan come together. Both now havecome together for Port Canaveral’s new Marina District. Thanks to thecompletion of major redevelopment of a portion of the old Scorpion NewportMarina and what formally was the seafood processing area. Transforming theonce thriving industry into a new marina was a decision born out of changingregulations and economic conditions for the former Bluepoints Fisheries. Now,what the Port Authority Board of Commissioners only envisioned, today hasbecome reality. And the reality is something of which the marina owners, thePort Authority and the Central Florida community can be proud. Late last year,the new Ocean Club Marina established a first-class, high-end facility for boatowners, including a 7,200 square foot clubhouse and 73 boat slips for vesselsup to 110 feet. And recently, the newly completed Bluepoints Marina held itsgrand opening for the community. It offers boating enthusiasts fully enclosedstorage for more than 1,000 vessels up to 42 feet long. In addition, Bluepointshas wet slips for 26 boats with each having their own 50,000-pound lift.The extreme makeovers of both of these multi-million dollar projects havehelped change the face of Port Canaveral, revitalizing and infusing a moreattractive place for tenants and visitors. And, not only do these marinasenhance the quality of life for both our area residents and for visitors, theyalso support the Central Florida economy with the jobs they provided duringconstruction and now with the completed projects.The Port Authority Board of Commissioners applauds both Ocean Club andBluepoints for embracing the Port’s Master Plan vision and investing in the newMarina District.CommissionersTOM GOODSONChairmanRalph J.

SHORE EXCURSIONS SERIESLOCALHIDDEN GEMDISCOVEREDAlthough there probably are people who havelived in Titusville, Florida for years withoutdiscovering this hidden gem of a destination,passengers on the Carnival Pride will haveno trouble finding it, as it becomes a newCarnival-approved shore excursion.The Valiant Air Command (VAC) Warbird Museum, located atthe Space Coast Regional Airport in Titusville, is a marvelousrepository of military planes through the ages and all thingsassociated with them. With displays that rival commercial andgovernment aviation museums, this nonprofit operation isfueled entirely by volunteerism and love.Step Into the PastIf you love history, aircraft or the beauty displayed by man’smechanical creations, the Warbird Museum offers a uniquetreat. The first area that catches the eye of most visitors is the15,000 square-foot Memorabilia Hall. Hundreds of artifacts,uniforms, photos, pictures, medals and more are organized intoa parade of displays that depict pivotal events, special groupsand technological wonders, winding from WWI through WWIIto Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm, the first Iraq conflict.Is that a Cavalry uniform actually worn by one of America’sfirst aces? Complete with the off-the-shelf Harley Davidsonmotorcycle gloves that were added for aviators? Is that the“Link Trainer,” 1930s great-great grandfather of today’s flightsimulators, and no more than a carnival sideshow until ArmyAir Corps letter carriers suffered six crashes in a month dueto insufficient instrument flying practice? There’s the WWII“Norden Bombsight” that first made it possible to drop a bombfrom 30,000 feet with any chance of hitting the target. Anincredibly authentic canteen of the period is just around thecorner. No, you’re not imagining it: the WWII vibe is complete,down to the sounds of the Glenn Miller band playing in thebackground.The Women’s Air Force Service Pilots, the Tuskegee Airmen(African-American pilots who, with the support of EleanorRoosevelt, got the chance to fly in WWII), Pappy Boyington’sBlack Sheep Squadron, Japanese and German aviators, andmore, are represented in the Memorabilia Hall. The Museum’shistorians and curators work diligently to make sure the scenesdisplayed historically are correct. Sometimes, they have thegratifying experience of getting assistance from a visitor whoseexpertise comes from actually having been there.Beauty and the BomberWalk from the Hall through a door marked “Hangar” andexperience a change of scale, from the minutiae of personalartifacts to the sky-filling wingspans of aircraft, donated andlovingly restored by friends of the Museum. Generally, the onlyexpense incurred by the VAC in acquiring these rare displaysis the cost of shipping those that are not in flying form. The30,000-square-foot Main Bay Display Area houses aircraftranging from a Grumman Wildcat to a Huey Helicopter toan F-14A Tomcat. Here, you are surrounded by propellers,wings, nose-cones, gleaming paint and familiar and enigmaticinsignia.More aircraft are displayed outside on the apron and visitorseven are welcome in the crowded Renovation Hanger, wherethe class list always is changing as restored planes graduate andfreshmen (some already waiting impatiently on the ramp) taketheir place. When you’re there, remember: all this meticulous,painstaking work is being done by volunteers.4 March/April 2009 PORT CANAVERAL

A Community TreasureFund-raising is under way to supplement grants that will enablethe VAC to build a new hangar and expand the MemorabiliaHall by several thousand square feet. This nonprofit organizationalready brings hundreds of thousands of dollars into BrevardCounty each year in tax revenue and tourist dollars and, withexpansion, continuing upgrading of their exhibits and inclusionon Carnival’s excursion list, hopes to increase their economicimpact. The VAC also contributes to the community throughmany charitable activities, including participation in a RallyAgainst Cancer, Toys for Tots, and support of the Red Cross andother nonprofit groups.If you aren’t a passenger on the Carnival Pride, you can join visitorsfrom around the world in visiting the VAC Warbird Museum inTitusville, a few miles west of Kennedy Space Center, any day ofthe week between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Or start with a sneakpeek available 24/7 at vacwarbirds.org/tourthemuseum.html andvacwarbirds.org/AirplaneGallery/index.htmlTop photo: B-25 Mitchell bomber is surrounded by an array of othervintage aircraft.

D i a m o n d - i n - t h e - R o u g h S hAs factors such as increasedregulation and rising fuelprices made the businessof seafood processing atougher path to profits forthe independent operator,35-year Port tenant,Bluepoints InternationalFisheries, started lookingat alternatives.among all the uncertainties of theeconomic future, they felt sureof one thing, at least — that theproperty they were leasing fromport canaveral was a diamond in therough. leaving didn’t make goodsense; finding the best usage fortheir treasure did.A Change in the Tidesbluepoints’ owner, the firstRepublic corporation of america,commissioned expert studies todetermine what this best usagemight be, and the studies pointed ina direction the port authority alreadywas headed. bluepoints joined theOcean club marina project as thefirst tenant investments in the newMarina District designated by theport’s Master plan.bluepoints’ Marina Manager KeithSmith, who also worked as a managerin bluepoints’ previous incarnationand has been at the port since 1972,is supportive of the new direction.“This is a different place today. Inthe old days, when things were slow,I’d use Mullet Road as a drivingrange. Not any more! When timeschange, it’s good business to changewith them. ”Serious ProtectionThe new bluepoints opened forbusiness in february. This first phaseof development includes fullyenclosed storage for 1,084 boats inlengths up to 42 feet. however, thisis no ordinary warehouse. bluepointstook every precaution to ensure thatthe boats people leave with themwill be safe in their care.With huge I-beams and every coderequirement, the storage building isconstructed to withstand 150 mphwinds, a great benefit on florida’scoastline. additionally, eight toten inches of metal mesh alongthe bottom of the exterior-wallsheeting will allow floodwaters toflow right through, a tactic thatminimizes damage to the buildingand its contents. The building alsois equipped with sprinklers for fireprotection.A Seriously Mighty ForkliftOf course, as nice as the storagebuilding is, the main point of amarina is to get out on the water.bluepoints has two fork lifts to bringboats to the dock — a ‘small’ onewith a capacity of 22,000 poundsand, according to Smith, the largestlift in the area, which can carry nearlytwice that load with a 42,000-poundrating.Smith said the marina has doneeverything possible to minimize waittimes in retrieving boats from drystorage. “We limited the numberof wet slips we built to leave roomfor 1,000 linear feet of courtesydock, which ensures little or nowaiting for our customers. and we’revery responsive to our customers’schedules. early departures and latereturns are no problem.”The 26 wet slips built on-site so fareach have their own 50,000-poundcapacityboat lift, an amenity sure togain the gratitude of any boat-ownerswho have spent a beautiful summerday scraping barnacles off a hull.Serious From the StartSmith explained how an ex-seafoodprocessor went about designinga top-quality marina. “We wentafter the best people we could findfrom the start. We didn’t have theexpertise, so we hired consultantsand engineers who did. Wecontracted with one of the top firmsin the state for permitting, and ourtop-notch general contractor wasa huge asset. Once the marina wasbuilt, we hired a premier marinamanagement company to run it.Think about it — when you spendthis kind of money, you really don’twant a learning curve!”6 March/April 2009 PORT CANAVERAL

i n e s w i t h N e w B r i l l i a n c eport commission vice chairmanRalph Kennedy expressed the port’sappreciation of the project. “Thisis another nice project at our portthat helps move us toward thegoal of becoming a premier visitordestination and supports anothercritical port authority objective —to help the local economy throughjob creation.”So far, the marina has employedeight new people and Smith intendsto add more staff as occupancyincreases. he feels confident aboutbusiness, even in this economy, andsays the level of interest so far hasexceeded expectations.Smith said, “The port staff andcommissioners have really been greatto work with on this and, of course,we couldn’t be here without theirgenerosity in providing public accessto the waterways.”All slips incorporate 50,000-lb. lifts to keepboats out of the water and speed up dockingand undocking times.

‘What if?’Exercise Tightens Response PlansThere are many agencies involved in the important task ofresponding to emergencies and maintaining safety at PortCanaveral — the United States Coast Guard, Customs andBorder Protection, TransportationSecurity Administration, FloridaFish and Wildlife Service, BrevardCounty Sheriff’s Office, theCape Canaveral Volunteer FireDepartment, vessel securitypersonnel, the Canaveral PortAuthority and support agencies,as needed, including the FloridaHighway Patrol and local hospitals.Recently, the major players cametogether to conduct a “tabletopexercise” in which a specificemergency scenario is presentedand each agency contributes their own concerns and ideasto a review of the alternatives and development of responseguidelines.This exercise was held in the Port’s Mobile Command Postwith Port Director of Public Safety J.R. Klaman presenting thescenario: an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) has been locatedon a docked cruise ship and the master of the vessel has orderedthe evacuation of the 3,000 people onboard. It has not beendetermined if a terrorist is aboard the vessel, either among thepassengers or crew. What happens next?In this case, the Port and its safety partners could be facing oneof four potential scenarios, in addition to the ship evacuation:a search for a suspicious package, an explosion and fire onboardwith injuries, a landside attack with the suspicious package usedas a diversion and/or a landside evacuation.The attendees discussed thechallenges inherent in thesescenarios. For example,the major goal of thevessel evacuation would beremoving the innocent whilefinding the guilty, a delicatebalance of operations thatrequires multiple screeningsand careful monitoring ofthe evacuees at all pointsthroughout the incident.“The public may not realizeall the details involved inthis type of operation. We have to know how we’re goingto establish a secure containment area, screen for explosives,separate crew and passengers, identify evacuation routes,provide medical assistance, food and water and coordinate themany agencies and support teams involved. If all goes well,from the public’s point of view, it should flow as one smoothprocess,” said Klaman. “We have to pull together to makePort Canaveral as safe an environment as possible for everyonewho comes here and that’s what these table-top exercises arehelping us do.”Photos: Law enforcement and other related ship and agency representativesattend exercise inside the Port’s Mobile Command Post

It was a two-part talk entitled ‘Export 101.’ Otherspeakers included a certified public accountant who spoke aboutAttendees learn about transportation and foreign trade zone servicesoffered at the Porttax strategies, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcementagent and a specialist in global trade financing.
