Aug. 30, 2001 – The resident Coast Guard Marine Safety Detachment's new supervisor has literally worked his way up to his present assignment at the world's No. 1 cruise ship destination — St. Thomas and St. John.
Lt. John V. Reinert began his three-year assignment on July 15, succeeding Lt. Kevin Smith. He says the unit's focus will continue to be "marine safety, including the inspection of commercial vessels and the investigation of marine casualties and environmental pollution."
Reinert points out that the local detachment is not directly tasked with the Coast Guard's "operational duties including drug interdiction, search and rescue and the boarding of vessels" at sea. "San Juan directs all those operations," he explains.
With one exception, the Coast Guard vessels occasionally seen operating in territorial waters or docked at King's Wharf are not St. Thomas-based, he says. The exception is the 32-foot Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel owned by local Auxiliary Operations Officer Klaus Willems. The auxiliary consists of individuals who volunteer their time to educate the public on safe boating practices and to perform free safety inspections of privately owned vessels. They also conduct local harbor patrols and assist with Coast Guard search and rescue operations when needed.
Five Coast Guard members are assigned to the St. Thomas-St. John detachment. Working with Reinert are Chief Warrant Officers Darel McCormick and Kevin Austin and Petty Officers 1st Class Scott Howell and Torin Zielenski. The detachment is housed in the small, single-story building located on the Charlotte Amalie waterfront between King's Wharf and the Legislature Building.
"My responsibility is St. Thomas and St. John and the territorial waters that surround them," Reinert says. "It's a challenging assignment with the limited number of people assigned here and the limited amount of resources. San Juan sends over additional inspectors as necessary to help us keep up with the operational tempo."
At the heart of his jurisdiction is the Charlotte Amalie harbor. "It's a very busy port," he says. "The biggest risks are the high-capacity vessels, the cruise ships and the ferries that can carry large numbers of passengers. We really have to watch those."
A native of Beatrice, Neb., Reinert enlisted in the Coast Guard in 1982. After graduating from boot camp, he was assigned to the Coast Guard cutter Point Herron at Fire Island, New York, N.Y., where he performed a variety of search-and-rescue and law-enforcement duties. He subsequently held staff positions at Commander/Atlantic Area, Commander Support Center/New York, and Commander/Maintenance and Logistics Command/Atlantic Area, all located on Governors Island in New York, N.Y.
He left the Coast Guard for about three year in 1986 and nearly finished college before returning to active duty. He then worked for two years at the Marine Safety Office in Morgan City, La., qualifying as a marine pollution investigator, marine facility inspector and federal on-scene coordinator representative. Meantime, he finished his bachelor of science degree in business finance at the State University of New York.
In 1994, after attending officer candidate school in Yorktown, Va., he received his commission as a Coast Guard officer. He spent the next four years as the assistant chief of port operations at the San Diego marine safety office. His projects there included coordinating waterside safety for the 1994 World Cup sailing races and security for the 1996 Republican National Convention. His response operations included a 97,000-gallon jet fuel spill into the San Diego River from a ruptured pipeline.
In 1998, he became the assistant chief of port operations at the Galveston, Tex., marine safety office. His duties included port safety and security and environmental response for the three major ports which make up the largest petrochemical complex in the world, 100 miles of intracoastal waterway and more than 160 oil and natural gas platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
Reinert visited St. Thomas for the first time in May, to attend a four-day Caribbean Regional Response conference. "It's a very vertical island," was one of his first impressions. "Every other place I've ever been stationed has been relatively flat."
As the St. Thomas detachment supervisor, Reinert reports to the captain of the Port of San Juan, Cmdr. Joseph Servidio. "I worked with him before in San Diego," Reinert notes. "He's a great man to work for. I requested to leave Galveston a year early to take this position. I wouldn't have taken the job if it wasn't for him."
At his last two duty stations, Reinert volunteered to make educational presentations in the schools. The Sea Partners Program involves going into schools and appearing before civic groups to talk about "the effects of pollution on the ocean and sea life," he says. "It's one of those things that I truly love to do. We will do a program for anyone who will listen to us."
He has an open mind about his future with the Coast Guard but plans to go "for at least 20" years of active duty. "After that I don't know," he muses. "I'm having a great time. I enjoy my work. I enjoy the job I do. I enjoy the Coast Guard."
The Coast Guard appreciates him, too. He has received two Commandant Letters of Commendation and has been awarded two Coast Guard Achievement Medals and the Coast Guard Commendation Medal.
Reinert notes that while the Coast Guard is the smallest of the nation's armed services, with about 32,000 members, it often is the most visible. He says he wants to form a working partnership between his unit and the St. Thomas/St. John community. "Keeping the public informed on what we are doing here helps us out as much as it helps out the public," he says.

Sept. 3, 2001 – An off-duty St. Thomas police officer was shot in the arm Sunday night in what his superiors say may have been a case of being caught in a crossfire.
Law enforcement sources said Officer Kent Hodge suffered a gunshot wound to the arm during the incident around 9 p.m. near General Gade in the Savan area. Police Chief Jose Garcia and Deputy Chief Theodore Carty both said Sunday night that Hodge’s life was not in danger.
"He was treated and released from Schneider Hospital a few hours after the shooting," Garcia said late Sunday night. "We don’t believe he was targeted."
Rather, he added, it's believed Hodge "was caught up in the middle of the shootout."
Another person escaped what may have been a retaliation shooting in the incident, Garcia said. Police responded to the scene after receiving reports that two gunmen had opened fire on a white compact car. The driver of that vehicle later was interrogated by police.
Garcia said Hodge was driving his private vehicle when he was shot and subsequently drove himself to the hospital for treatment of the wound.
Garcia asked that anyone with information about the matter contact the police at 715-5522 or the emergency number 911.

Sept. 2, 2001 – Don't throw away those ripe bananas that are starting to turn black and mushy. Use them instead for making banana bread.
Bananas — really, big herbs — are native to Malaysia. Back some 2,000 years ago, traders carried them across the Indian Ocean into Africa. From there, they went to the Canary Islands, where European explorers put them aboard ships sailing to the Caribbean. Here, they thrived in the year-round warm temperatures, abundant rain, and deep, fertile soil.
We enjoy ripe bananas in a variety of ways: sliced in fruit salads, blended in smoothies, and made into cakes, pies and cocktails. Eaten out of hand, they are brimming with good nutrition. One medium-size banana has 120 calories and is an excellent source of vitamins C and B6, as well as potassium. The Food and Drug Administration has just approved bananas for health claim labeling, linking their potassium content to helping prevent high blood pressure.
Many traditional recipes are for banana bread that's as rich as cake because of the high fat and sugar content. The recipe here has been modified to make it more healthful. It replaces oil with unsweetened applesauce, substitutes egg whites for whole eggs, reduces the sugar content by 1/2 cup while increasing the number of bananas, and uses whole-wheat flour in place of some of the white flour for added fiber and nutrients. Enjoy this sweet bread for breakfast or as a snack.
Healthful Banana Bread
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
whites of 3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins, if desired
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick coating. Lightly flour the pan; set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt with a whisk.
In another medium bowl, beat the mashed bananas, sugar, applesauce, egg whites and vanilla until well mixed. Add the dry ingredients and whisk just until smooth. Stir in the raisins, if desired. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top of the batter evenly in the pan.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the top is brown and the bread pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes on a wire baking rack. Invert onto the rack, turn right side up, and let cool completely.
Makes 16 slices. Per slice: 175 calories, 0.5 gm fat (4 percent fat calories), no cholesterol, 88 mg sodium.
Food tip: If you have bananas that are overripe but don't have time to make banana bread, then do this: Peel the bananas, then place them in plastic freezer bags, six to a bag. That way, you'll have them ready for preparing banana bread in the future.

As the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season approaches, the fifth named storm system developed over the central tropical Atlantic this weekend. Tropical StorSept. 2, 2001 – As the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season approaches, the fifth named storm system developed over the central tropical Atlantic this weekend. Tropical Storm Erin grew out of a depression which became organized Saturday more than 1,500 miles east of the Lesser Antilles.
Hurricane forecaster Stacy Stewart said Sunday that Erin is considerably better organized than it was at depression status and its associated upper-level outflow is impressive for a storm system so early in the development stages. In fact, Stewart expects Erin to be upgraded to a hurricane on Monday. At 5 a.m. the center of Erin was located near 13.4 degrees north latitude and 38.5 degrees west longitude, about 1,410 miles east of the Lesser Antilles. With winds of 45 miles per hour, it was moving westward at nearly 20 mph.
Knight Quality Stations meteorologist Alan Archer said Sunday that computer forecast models are all in agreement that Erin will pose no threat to the Lesser Antilles or the northeastern Caribbean. "The models all take Erin to the northwest, well east of the Lesser Antilles," he said. "I think only the shipping channels will be impacted."
There is a better than 50-50 chance Erin will have no effect on the major land areas of the Caribbean, he said.
Archer did note, however, that two other areas of disturbed weather are spinning off the African coast that bear watching over the next several days.

Sept. 2, 2001 — The Senate Finance Committee continued its Fiscal Year 2002 budget hearings with another marathon session -– this time on Saturday, and with only one senator present through part of the meeting.
Public Works Department
The St. Croix session kicked off with the Public Works Department, with the focus primarily on what the department is doing to solve the solid waste and sewage problem on St. Croix. The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered Public Works to stop receiving trash at the Anguilla Landfill by the end of 2002 because scavenging birds and fires pose a hazard to the adjacent Henry E. Rohlsen Airport.
Because a new facility to handle solid waste will take up to three years to permit and build, Public Works will not meet the FAA deadline. Therefore, an interim plan that is acceptable to the FAA will be developed, according to Sonya Nelthropp, technical assistant to Commissioner Wayne Callwood for waste issues.
She said the government and Caribe Waste Technologies are still negotiating a contract for the company to construct a solid waste gasification facility on St. Croix that would handle the entire territory’s waste stream.
Nelthropp said the interim plan will entail a "material recover" facility, known on the mainland as a MERF. In order to divert as much waste as possible from going into the landfill, she said, a temporary roofed facility will be erected for recyclable and compostable material to be separated from trash. Plastics, glass and other material will be set aside so that officials can reduce the amount of garbage to be consigned to a landfill and "deal with what’s left."
"The garbage would be going into a facility and wouldn’t be landfilled," Nelthropp said.
She said bid requests for the temporary system will go out in the next 10 days. The action on the government’s part, Nelthropp said, will prove to the FAA that the government is being proactive and that an extension to the 2002 deadline is warranted.
"That’s what the FAA wants," she said. "To get it moving."
Public Works has budgeted about $650,000 to have an independent firm evaluate the sewage system on St. Croix to determine how much of the pipe system -– parts of which are up to 50 years old -– needs to be replaced. Public Works is also studying plans to build a new wastewater treatment plant on St. Croix that meets federal discharge requirements.
Planning and Natural Resources Department
The agency in charge of regulating Public Works’ many environmental transgressions defended its budget on Saturday afternoon.
Commissioner Dean Plaskett said his budget request for FY 2002 is $23.8 million. Of that, $5.8 million would come from the General Fund. About half of the total budget is to be federally funded.
Plaskett noted that because so many department projects and staffing needs are federally funded, locally funded personnel costs make up 42 percent of DPNR’s budget. He compared that to other departments where he said personnel costs account for 70 percent to 90 percent of the local budget.
The proposed DPNR budget includes $300,000 to fund the territory’s solid waste regulatory plan. However, three additional staff members are needed for the program. Until DPNR recently submitted its regulatory plan to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the issue had been a bone of contention for several years.
"If we didn’t complete the task, solid waste authority would sit with the feds," Plaskett said.
Education Department
By the time Education Commissioner Ruby Simmonds presented her $128.9 million budget, at about 6 p.m., the Finance Committee chair, Alicia "Chucky" Hansen, was the only senator present. Sens. Donald "Ducks" Cole, Norma Pickard-Samuel and Carlton Dowe, who had been present earlier in the day, were gone. All reside on St. Thomas. The other two committee members, Sens. Adlah "Foncie" Donastorg and Norman Jn. Baptiste, were excused.
Simmonds said that about $115 million of her budget is for personnel and benefits, about $2 million covers materials and supplies, and $3.5 million is for utility costs.
Despite the large portion of the money going for personnel costs, Simmonds said, the department has a teacher shortage.
"While our recruitment effort has been a success, we continue to receive resignations," she said, noting that in the last week seven teachers quit their jobs.
She said two of those individuals had been in the system for 30 years before taking teaching jobs in Maryland.
"We have a number of teachers who are looking for employment on the mainland," she said.
Simmonds said when teachers who quit don’t give sufficient notice, they are documented as leaving "not in good standing." The department will not later rehire teachers with such a notation in their files, she said.
As the new academic year gets under way, the department also is short of registered nurses, librarians and custodial staff, Simmonds said.

Fourth in a series of articles on the Summer 2001 visit to Denmark by the Friends of Denmark, hosted by the West Indian Society there.
The Danish West Indian Society has become famous for its bus tours. Four years ago, Virgin island visitors were treated to a week on the road visiting Jutland, Flemsburg in Germany (at one time belonging to Denmark and its chief port for goods from the West Indies), and the island of Fynn. This year, the hosts sponsored two major trips: to Svanholm, and to Roskilde and Scania.
A modern-day commune
Svanholm Community is a Danish commune, or collective, about 36 miles west of Copenhagen. In 1978, a group of some 85 Danes purchased a major estate including 625 acres of farmland, 490 acres of woodland, several major residences including a grand manor house, and parklands with meadows and marshes. Their intent was to establish an integrated community based on an agricultural lifestyle with equally shared work, income and decision making. And that they have done.
The community practices organic farming, growing grain for human and animal consumption, vegetables and fruits. The carrots, potatoes and onions are sold throughout Denmark. There also is a farm store selling a comprehensive variety of organic produce.
While many members work the land, and while the infrastructure necessary to sustain any community is in place, the group admits it cannot be self sufficient on agricultural production alone. To supplement their economy, they purchase organic foods in bulk on the international market, repackage them into more marketable units, and distribute them to stores with a demand for organic products. They also manufacture timber products such as pallets and shipping boxes and raise various animals. In addition, almost a third of the community residents works outside, contributing their income to the collective pool.
When we arrived at Svanholm, we were given a general orientation to the community lifestyle and then were taken on a tour of the property by one of the originators of the commune. We learned that while machinery can till the soil within inches of the plants, the space next to and between the plants must be weeded by hand. Since there are not enough community members for this demanding chore, they hire local students during key periods of the growing season.
Since they do not spray pesticides, their crops periodically come under attack. While the crops usually receive adequate water from the rain, there is a pesky moth/worm which can be defeated by timely application of sprinkled water. If this pest is found among any crops, the community rallies to set up a mobile irrigation system and water the affected area.
Another major method of pest control the commune employs also serves as soil management: crop rotation. Some crops are grown in a specific area only once every four or seven years. The plantings are interspersed with others to defeat crop-specific pests and rebuild the soil.
The community obtains additional labor from volunteers who exchange 30 hours per week of labor for room and board. On our tour we saw an international student group working to restore the original wood window frames in the landmark manor house.
The farm tour ended in the manor house Mirror Room. In this large common room are two large mirrors on opposite walls. When commune members want to try something that involves the community in any way, they bring it to a weekly meeting of members in the Mirror Room. Here the idea is discussed and negotiated until it is acceptable to all in attendance or dropped by the proponent. Members experiencing problems bring them to the meeting, or others do so, and are counseled. If a problem is not resolved over time, the member voluntarily leaves the community, or is asked to leave.
The cathedral of monarchs
Following an excellent organic lunch in the community kitchen, we moved on to the city of Roskilde and the cathedral that has been the place of entombment of Danish monarchs since 1559.
Earlier royals were buried throughout the kingdom or abroad. Knud the Great and his son Hardeknud, two Viking kings, were buried in London's Westminster Cathedral. Another king, Erik Ejegod, died on Cyprus during a holy pilgrimage to Jerusalem and was buried there. The first king to be buried in the Roskilde area was Harald Bluetooth, in 987.
The cathedral was begun as a brick Romanesque church in 1170. In 1191, a new bishop changed the design to Gothic. The basic building was completed in 1280; however, each century has seen numerous extensions in various styles. Prior to the Reformation, the cathedral was Roman Catholic; afterward, it became Protestant, and interior changes became necessary.
The altar is huge, with 12 gold bas-relief panels and nine gold panels filled with gold figures. It is an artistic wonder that comes with a great story. It seems the Danish authorities who were responsible for collecting taxes for passage through Danish waters chose not to take actual inventory of each ship's goods. Instead, they relied upon the ship's captain to give them a good approximation of the value of the cargo upon which tax had to be paid. To keep everyone honest, there was the rule that should the tax man find the cargo was worth more than declared, it could be confiscated in return for payment of the declared value.
One day, the captain of a ship passing through set the value of his cargo at a moderate amount. The tax collector decided to check things out and found the gold altar panels, which he promptly confiscated. They were dispatched to the cathedral, where the altar has been in use ever since.
The sarcophagus of King Christian V and that of his queen, Charlotte Amalie, are found in the sanctuary of the cathedral along with those of Harald Bluetooth, Bishop Welhelm (the founder of the cathedral), and King Frederick IV and Queen Louise.
Most of the sarcophagi are huge white marble affairs with sculptures atop the lids of the entombed monarchs lying in state with full royal regalia. Those for the remains of Christian V, Charlotte Amalie and the Trolle family in the North Tower chapel with Queen Annie Sophia all have a grotesque carved skull nestled on crossed bones at the foot.

Sept. 1, 2001 – Because a treatment plant problem led to the discharge of solid sewage into the sea near Cyril E. King Airport, the V.I. Carnival Committee canceled the Labor Day beach jam and fun day scheduled for Monday at John Brewers Bay.
According to Dean Plaskett, commissioner of Planning and Natural Resources, a malfunction of the Public Works Department's Charlotte Amalie treatment plant resulted in the sewage being discharged into the water from the main outfall near the airport.
A release from the Carnival Committee late Saturday afternoon said there was sewage on the beach and in the water at Brewers Bay, which lies just west of the airport.
Plaskett, in an advisory issued Friday night, warned the public not to swim or fish in water to the south and west of the airport until DPNR has sampled and analyzed it and determined that the water does not pose a health threat.
For further information, call the DPNR Environmental Protection Division at 774-3320.
