Zama observance honors 9/11 anniversaryBy Dustin Perry
Torii Editor
See ANNIVERSARY, Page 2
The ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 ter-rorist attacks was observed Friday at Camp
Zama with a remembrance ceremony that
recounted the events of that day and paid
tribute to those whose lives have been lost
in the aftermath.
On the field behind Yano Fitness Center,
Soldiers representing units from the instal-
lation stood at parade rest as Col. Robert
Deyeso, deputy commander of U.S. Army
Japan and I Corps (Forward), asked those
in attendance to remember the purest of
horrors unfolding on American soil.
It was nine years ago this week that, aswe watched our landmark buildings buckle,
our military nerve center attacked, and
ordinary Americans fight off determined
terrorists, Deyeso said during his remarks,
we were abruptly reminded of our strength
as a nation, our resolve as a people, and our
steadfast patriotism.
Four narratives, read by civilians and
Soldiers assigned to Camp Zama, detailed
the final moments of each of the commercial
aircraft that were hijacked and crashed into
the North and South towers of the World
Trade Center in New York City; the Pen-tagon in Washington, D.C.; and a field in
Shanksville, Pa.
At first, the media and most Americans
thought it was a tragic accident, said Wil-
liam A. Moore, regional fire chief for U.S.
Army installations in Japan. We could
not fathom that anyone could commit such
unthinkable acts or be so cruel to their fel-
low human beings. Soon we would realize
terrorists had declared war on America and
those on Flight 11 and in the North Tower
were the first casualties.
Seventeen minutes after the first towerwas hit, United Flight 175 crashed into the
South Tower, killing all 60 passengers and
crewmembers on board, and more than
600 people inside the building. During his
narrative, Staff Sgt. Otis Dickerson said in
retrospect, the attacks on the World Trade
Center were a consummate failure for

Sexual Assault Preventionand Response ProgramSexual assault is a criminal offence that has
no place in the Army. It degrades missionreadiness by devastating the Armys ability
to work effectively as a team. Every
Soldier who is aware of a sexual assault
should immediately (within 24 hours)
report incidents of sexual assault. It is
incompatible with the Army Values and
is punishable under the Uniform Code of
Military Justice and other federal and local
civilian laws. USAG-J Camp Zama Sexual
Assault Hotline: 882# or 090-9395-8909

terrorism.
The acts of evil succeeded only in
unifying the country and forever alerting
Americans to the need for constant vigi-
lance, said Dickerson.
American Flight 77, carrying 58 pas-
sengers and six crewmembers, crashed into
the west side of the Pentagon at 9:37 a.m.,killing all on board and 125 U.S. military
servicemembers and civilians on the ground.
The fourth and final crash, United Flight
93, was the only aircraft during the attack
to not reach its intended target of either the
U.S. Capitol or the White House.
On Flight 93, Americas true character
manifested itself, said Amanda Kraus
during her narrative. On this flight, the
Americans on board were alerted to the
terrorists plan. They had heard of the at-
tacks on the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon. They refused to be accomplices
to evil. The civilians on board became the
first Americans to strike a blow against the
enemy in the Global War on Terrorism.
Col. Perry Helton, commander of U.S.
Army Garrison Japan, who laid a memo-
rial wreath on the field near the end of the
ceremony, said the event was an opportunity
for those in attendance to pause and pay
remembrance to a significant day in the
worlds history.
The key is for us to remember those who
are still fighting and defending freedom,
and to ensure that were continuing to do
our part, said Helton. At the same time,
we recognize those who paid the ultimate
sacrifice in defense of our great nation. Its
important for us as a nation to ensure that
we continue to remember that freedom is
not free.

USARJ MPs go through OC spray trainingBy Tetsuo Nakahara

Spc. Michael Ruiz, assigned to the U.S. Army Japan Military
Police Battalion, struggles against the effects of Oleoresin
Capsicum spray, during certification training Friday.

Spc. Camden Kebert, assigned to the USARJ Military Police Battalion, is sprayed
Oleoresin Capsicum spray during certification training held Friday behind the CampZama Fire Department. Nine MPs assigned to Camp Zama attended the training.
Nine military police officers assigned to
U.S. Army Japan experienced the painful
sting of Oleoresin Capsicum spray in order
to better understand its effectiveness duringcertification training held Friday behind the
Camp Zama Fire Department.
The training was part of the MPs law
enforcement certification program, an an-
nual requirement by the Office of the Provost
Marshal General that requires the officers to
be proficient in a number of tasks, including
the use of nonlethal foam, patrolling, arrest-
ing suspects, performing traffic stops, and
responding to domestic violence.
[This training is meant] to teach the
officers to be able to fight the effects of OCin case they get sprayed, and to still be able
to deal with a suspect, said instructor Staff
Sgt. Christopher Ray.
Oleoresin Capsicum, a chili extract
used to make extremely hot sauces, is the
key ingredient in the
spray. Commonly
referred to as pepper
spray, the substance
is stored in aerosol
canisters and carried
by law enforcement
members. It is used
as an alternative to
hand-to-hand combat
or the use of lethal
weapons to decreasethe chance of serious
injury to all parties,
said Ray. The effects
of the spray can last
anywhere from an
hour to 90 minutes,
depending on the in-
dividual, he said.
If [an MP] ac-
cidentally sprays him
or herself, they know
they can still fight
through the effects,
said Ray, describing
the benefit of the
certification course.
Plus, they know
what someone elseis goes through when
they get sprayed.
The training in-
cluded classroom
instruction and a fight-through drill prior
to the MPs being sprayed. The officers also
went through several checkpoints and were
instructed on how to deal with a suspect after
they received a dose of the spray.
At each station, the Soldiers were tasked
to perform various techniques on how to
fight against an opponent under the effects
of OC spray. Each trainee closed his or her
eyes before turning around to the instruc-
tor, who sprayed them directly in the face.
After it was ensured they were contaminated
with the spray, each Soldier was requiredto complete the tasks at each station before
the spray could be removed.
The instructor followed each Soldier
through the stations to reduce the chaos
brought on by being dosed with the spray.
The trainees needed to learn how to control
themselves and perform the appropriate
techniques against a suspect while simulta-
neously defending themselves, said Ray.
After the Soldiers completed the sta-
tions, they decontaminated themselves at
an eye-washing area provided by members
of the fire department. Several trainees un-
derstandably struggled with the pain, even
several minutes after washing their eyes.
This is my second time getting [dosed
with] OC spray, said Spc. Carlos Perez. Itstill hurts pretty bad. I would never want
this to happen to anybody else, so I hope
[people] abide by the military police so they
dont have to get sprayed.

TORII STATION, Okinawa Twenty-five firefightersfrom Torii Station, Kadena Air Base, Camp Butler and
Camp Foster became certified water rescuers Friday fol-
lowing a rigid two-week training program.
This training is a requirement for the firefighters to
become certified in water rescue, including in-water rescue
swimmers and rescue boat operations said Torii Station
Fire Chief Norman Massengale.
Instructors Joe Mokry and Rick Woodbury from Ocean
Rescue Systems in Maine conducted the training.
Chief Massengale came up with the idea and worked
with the chiefs from Butler, Foster and Kadena to bring this
all together, said Mokry. The cooperation between all the
services fire departments has been phenomenal.
The rescue swimmer program consisted of a variety of
dangerous situations including rough surf, rocky shorelines,
flooding and moving water using both boat- and shore-based
rescues. Rescuers were required to swim out to retrieve
their victim and bring them back to safety.
The rescue boat operator session was conducted in the
open East China Sea using Torii Stations rescue boat.
Scenarios consisted of the first responders conducting
meticulous search patterns, such as creeping line and
expanding square, to find a lost person or a disabled vessel
and practice for low-visibility rescue operations.
We have to have good, effective search patterns in order
to be able to find a missing person or boat, said Mokry.
You have to be very thorough and have a lot of patience
to conduct water searches. If you look away for one minute
you risk missing someone in the water. In water rescue,
you only get one chance.
The group also conducted fast-boat maneuvers, includ-
ing high-speed work and turns.
This was a great group to work with, said Woodbury.

They were all hard workers and were very enthusiastic.
Theyre non-stop, and with enthusiasm theres nothing you
cant do. Were very pleased with their progress.
The firefighters each received three certificates upon
completion of the program, including one for Public Safety
Swimmer and Fast Rescue Craft Operations, and two from
the Maine Maritime Academy.
This was an excellent course taught by instructors who
are very knowledgeable and professional, said Masami
Goya, assigned to the Camp Foster Fire Department.
Everyone has come a long way in two weeks, con-
cluded Mokry. Its been good to see how skillful and
confident everyone has become. Go out and save a life.
Youve all done a terrific job.

Baby Gym helps totsdevelop motor skills
By Dustin Perry
Torii Editor
Photos by Dustin Perry
Vonni Sakamoto lifts her 8-month-old son Trevor in the air on her knees Thursday
during the Mommy and Me exercise portion of Baby Gym, a free monthly class
offered at the Sagamihara Family Housing Area Child Development Center that helps
newborn to pre-walking-age babies develop critical developmental skills.
Vonni Sakamoto, right, plays with her son Trevor during a monthly Baby Gym ses-
sion led by instructor Tara Vollertsen, rear, a pediatric physical therapist.
Eight-month-old Eli Sakamoto, right, looks at his reflection while being balanced atop
a large ball by Tara Vollertsen, instructor of the free monthly Baby Gym class.
Ensuring newborn to pre-walking-age
infants learn critical developmental and
motor skills is the intent behind Baby Gym,
a free class offered monthly at Sagamihara
Family Housing Area, the instructor said.
Tara Vollertsen, a pediatric physical
therapist who works for Educational and
Developmental Intervention Services at
Arnn Elementary School, began teaching
the class at the SFHA Child Development
Center four months ago as a way to improve
babies balance, build strength and develop
coordination, she said.
First babies need to learn how to sit
then they need to learn how to get on all
fours, crawl, pull-to-stand, stand, and walk,
said Vollertsen. When I developed the
format [for Baby Gym], I looked at what
different stages there are, and then what
activities for each stage would benefit them
to try and get them to the next level.
Each hourlong Baby Gym session in-
cludes eight stages most of them set to
playful childrens music during which
Vollertsen leads parents and their infants
through a number of activities. These activi-
ties encourage movement and are beneficial
because they incorporate both the parent
and the child, said Vollertsen.
A playroom at the CDC serves as the
Baby Gym workout area. Set up in the
room is a sitting area, a large tube tunnel
for crawling through, a mirror, toys and
other items that promote activity and helpstimulate babies development.
A Mommy and Me portion of the class
features exercises that parents do together
with their babies. These activities strengthen
the bond between and are simple enough
that they can be done in the comfort of their
own home.
The class is open to all parents who have
babies in the appropriate age range, and
their children do not have to be registered
or receiving care at the CDC in order to
participate in Baby Gym. Vonni Sakamoto,
who has been attending Baby Gym with
her twin 8-month-old sons Eli and Trevorsince June, says the class has been a huge
benefit.
Im a first-time parent, and its just
reassuring to know that professionals and
other parents are around to give you some
guidance and assure you that youre not do-
ing anything really wrong, said Sakamoto.
Its really nice that physical therapists and
occupational therapists offer a program that
makes sure babies are developing properly
and getting a little bit of socialization.
In addition to helping with their physical
and cognitive development, Baby Gym has
allowed her sons to make friends and taught
them how to socialize with other children,
said Sakamoto.
This program teaches parents what we
should be doing to help our babies, said
Sakamoto. I feel really comfortable with
all of the instructors. They can help us with
more than just anecdotal advice; they can
actually give us developmental hints and
guidelines to follow.
Having such a beneficial resource
available at a relatively remote location is
extremely helpful to the entire community,
she added.
A lot of [parents] dont know a lot
of people here and its hard to look for
resources out in the Japanese economy,
said Sakamoto, so just having something
to fall back on not only to fall back on,
but just to have something to do with other
children is really nice.
The number of attendees at each BabyGym class is manageable enough that Vol-
lertsen is able to devote individual attention
to each child and parent, she said, which
allows her to give tailored advice and offer
suggestions for how to get babies to their
next developmental level.
I like being able to do outreach for
the community, said Vollertsen. Most
of the time, children are right on track and
its just about sharing with the parents the
developmental milestones. Its nice that I
can provide that wellness.

TRAVEL & CULTURE
The taste of Shonan:
ShirasuAt the break of dawn, fishermens boats
slowly depart from the Koshigoe fishing
harbor located at the western edge of Ka-
makura to catch baby sardines, orshirasu,
every day.
Shirasu are centimeter-long translucent
white fish and are well known as the local
seafood in the western portion of the Miura
Peninsula and the Shonan
coastal area, including
waters off Kamakura in
Kanagawa Prefecture.
They are caught in large
numbers in the area and
served at many local res-
taurants.
The open season for
shirasu is from March to
December. During thatperiod, fisherman head to
the shirasu fishing area,
which is approximately
five to 10 kilometers
off the coast from the
harbor. The fishermen
depart every day, unless
conditions on the water are exceptionally
rough typhoons, for example. To catch
shirasu, the fisherman set out massive nets
approximately 150 meters in length.
Ive been catching shirasu for 18 years
now, says Katsumi Mizushima, captain of
Kanyoshimaru, at Koshigoe fishing harbor.
Today we caught about 20 kilograms of
shirasu, which is less than normal. We deal

with nature, so sometimes we get good hauls
and sometimes we dont. When conditions
are good, we catch about 400 kilograms of
shirasu per day.
This year, shirasu fishing was stable dur-
ing July and August, but those numbers have
descended this month, said Mizushima.
There are many seafood lovers who have
been looking forward to tasting shirasu
each year during the season. Many local
restaurants in the Shonan area serve fresh
shirasu straight from the
fisherman in a variety of
styles.
The most popular dish
is shirasu don, which is
fresh raw shirasu, seaweed
and a dash of ginger served
on rice. As raw shirasu
spoils quickly, it is best
consumed within 12 hours
after being caught. Forthose who are not a fan of
raw fish,shirasu kakiage
a kind of tempura mixed
with shirasu and veg-
etables is recommended.
Kamaage shirasu, which
is lightly boiled in salted
water and drained, is also popular.
Shirasu can be caught all over in Japan
but those found in the Shonan area are
plumper, said Katsumata. Also, it is com-
monly said that shirasu caught in autumn
are known to be thicker and sweeter.
If you are looking for local seafood, shi-
rasu dishes in Shonan are definitely worth
sampling on your next weekend trip.

Shirasu are baby sardines that grow to only about one centimeter in length.
Kamaage-shirasu is lightly boiled in salted water and drained before it is eaten.
A combination bowl ofkamaage and raw shirasu on rice is a very popular dish.
