Community Sanitation Overview:
The City of Saxman is located on the west side of Revillagigedo Island, two miles south of Ketchikan on the South Tongass Highway. Water for the community is derived from a reservoir, then treated and stored in a 128,000-gallon tank. The city operates a Class 2 water treatment system, a Class 1 water distribution system, and a Class 1 wastewater collection system. System classifications are determined by the State of Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Water based on the type of components found in a treatment plant and the number of connections served by water distribution and wastewater collection systems. All homes in Saxman are fully plumbed. While the majority of wastewater is treated at a public treatment facility with an ocean outfall, a few homes utilize individual septic tanks. Refuse is collected by a private company and disposed of at the Ketchikan landfill. Electricity is provided by Ketchikan Public Utilities.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
This quarter, RUBA staff provided the CCR data dump and CCR iWriter link to water utility staff and encouraged them to complete and distribute the report by the July 1 deadline. RUBA staff also provided remote assistance through the process. RUBA staff has not yet received confirmation that the report is complete. Also this quarter, RUBA staff checked state and federal tax compliance; and assisted city staff discussing methods of improving decorum during council meetings. RUBA staff also provided utility staff with a municipal to-do list, intended to assist utility staff in ensuring all monthly, quarterly, and annual tasks are completed on time.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
In the coming quarter, RUBA staff will continue working with utility staff to ensure the CCR is completed and distributed. RUBA staff will also provide assistance as requested with helping to meet the two indicators the utility is not currently meeting: inventory control list, and critical spare parts list. RUBA staff will provide additional assistance as requested.

Finances Comments
The City of Saxman adopted its FY14 budgets by non-code ordinance on July 10, 2013 for the fiscal period beginning July 1, 2013 and ending June 30, 2014. The ordinance comprises three separate, independent budgets for the city's general fund, the water and wastewater systems, and the municipally-owned and operated Saxman Seaport. In all three budgets, projected revenues are equal to proposed expenditures. The water and wastewater budget identifies revenue including a transfer-in from the general fund to subsidize the cost. There is sufficient general funds revenue to accommodate this subsidy. The utility's budget identifies expenditure categories including operator wages, payroll taxes, worker's compensation insurance, chemicals, testing, utilities, licensing, travel, and maintenance costs. Having a separate utility budget allows the city to ensure that revenues generated from user fees are sufficient to cover all utility-related costs. The city has projected that utility costs for FY14 will total $143,428.12. This figure realistically includes all associated expenses, such as the purchase of fuel from Andres Oil in Ketchikan as needed on a 'keep full' contract, travel and per diem costs to send operators to necessary trainings, and a reserve for potential water and wastewater maintenance costs. User fees are sufficient to cover most of these operating costs and a subsidy of $6,000 from the city's general fund is needed to cover the remaining costs. The city has 86 customers receiving piped water and wastewater services. Those customers are divided into residential customers who pay a combined, uniform flat rate of $65 each month ($45 for water services and $20 for wastewater services) and commercial customers who pay a flat rate of $375 each month ($225 for water service and $150 for wastewater service). These rates were last adjusted in 2009. RUBA staff conducted a rate study in January 2014, and identified a higher level of expenditure than previous estimates, mainly owing to the new Miex treatment system. Utility staff will recommend a rate increase in order to cover the additional costs. In the interim, there is sufficient general funds transfer to cover the additional cost of the Miex system for FY14. Finance staff prepare monthly profit and loss reports for the city council that compare actual month-to-date and year-to-date amounts with budgeted revenue and expenditure. The reports clearly indicate the percentage of funds already expended in each line item and the amount remaining for the remainder of the fiscal year. As of May 31, 2014, the utility has received 89 percent of expected revenue and expended 97 percent of expected expenditures. This revenue does not include the $6,000 budgeted transfer from the general fund, as this will only be transferred if needed. Therefore the revenue from users and fees have been higher than anticipated. Some expenditure categories are over-budget, including payroll, bank charges, and truck maintenance. Budget amendments will be introduced to accommodate the over-expenditures. Despite these over-expenditures, the utility does not anticipate going over-budget in FY14. Ketchikan Public Utilities provides electrical service to the City of Saxman. RUBA staff reviewed service statements and found that the utility is current in paying all of its electric bills.
Accounting Systems
Essential Indicators
The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.
An accounts payable system is in place.
The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records.
A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
Utility billing statements are sent out to customers on or around the 26th day of each month. The statements include the customer's name and address, the amount due for water and wastewater services, previous statement balances, late fees, net balances, and the due date. Accounts are considered past due if customers do not pay their bill by the 15th day of the month following the statement period. Customers have the option of submitting their payments by mail, in person to the finance clerk during business hours, or by placing it in a secure drop box in the front of city hall at any time of day. Additionally, the utility is set up to receive customer payments by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit cards. The credit card payment surcharge is not passed on to any specific customer, but rather is folded into the overall administrative expenses of the utility. The finance officer reports, however, that the majority of customers pay by cash at city hall. The city has adopted and actively enforces an effective collections policy. In accordance with the ordinances adopted by the city council between 2002 and 2009, past due customers are first mailed a delinquency notice reminding them to make their payment. A late charge of the highest legally allowable interest rate will be assessed and due on any amount 30 or more days in arrears on the 25th of each month. Past due customers who have not signed a repayment agreement (which can include the voluntary assignment of Permanent Fund Dividends) within 90 days are referred to the Ketchikan Credit Bureau for collections and are disconnected from service. According to the utility's aged trial balance account summary, only two utility customers are in 'disconnected' status and approximately nine percent of customers are more than 90 days past due. Frey accounting software is used for utility billing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll. This software encompasses three integrated modules: the Cubic utility billing and control system, the Chips payroll system, and the Bucs general fund accounting system. The finance officer has reported that together, these systems are sufficient for the utility's accounting needs. The software subscription includes 24-hour live technical support which the city can utilize for operating assistance when needed. Customer payments are first manually entered into a triplicate receipt book that records the customer's name and address, the date, the payment amount, what the payment was for, the form of payment, and who the payment was received by. Payment information is then recorded in the computerized accounting software. The software can clearly identify which customers are current in their payments and which are 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days past due. The city does not currently give cash disbursements. A utility collection rate study was completed in March 2014 and concluded that the utility has a 101 percent collection rate for the past seven months. The finance officer reconciles the city's bank accounts on a monthly basis. RUBA staff has received copies of the city's water/wastewater account reconciliation for June 2013. The separate credit card account is set up to receive credit card payments received from customers for utility and seaport services. The city then transfers deposits made into this account to the appropriate enterprise fund.
Tax Problems
Essential Indicators
The utility has a system to accurately calculate, track, and report payroll tax liabilities.
The utility is current on filing tax reports.
The utility is current on making tax deposits.
If there are any past due tax liabilities or recorded tax liens, a lien release has been issued or a repayment agreement has been signed and repayments are current.
Tax Problems Comments
The City of Saxman uses Windows-based Frey accounting software to accurately calculate, track, and report its payroll tax liabilities. The Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development Tax Division confirmed on May 30, 2014, that the city is compliant. There are no past IRS tax liabilities. Taxpayer advocates confirmed IRS tax compliance on March 17, 2014. Current IRS tax compliance confirmation is not available, as the authorization form to communicate with taxpayer advocates was not provided to RUBA staff.
Personnel System
Essential Indicators
The utility has a posted workers compensation insurance policy in effect.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility has adopted and uses a Personnel Policy, which has been reviewed by an attorney, AML or Commerce for topics and language.
The utility has adequate written job descriptions for all positions.
The utility has adopted and follows a written personnel evaluation process that ties the job description to the evaluation.
The utility has an adequate written hiring process.
The utility has personnel folders on every employee that contain at least: I-9, Job Application and Letter of Acceptance.
The utility has a probationary period for new hires that includes orientation, job training/oversight, and evaluations.
The utility provides training opportunities to staff as needed and available.
Personnel System Comments
All city employees are covered by an Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association (AMLJIA) workers' compensation insurance policy. That policy is effective from July 1, 2013 until July 1, 2014 and covers work-related accidents and occupational diseases up to the Alaska statutory limits for each occurrence. Proof of coverage is posted in all areas of employment, including the city hall, the community hall, and the water treatment plant. RUBA staff verified that the city is current in its payments to AMLJIA and that adequate funds have been allocated in the city budget for payments over the remainder of the fiscal year. The city implements a well-established personnel management system with the city administrator and the city council's personnel committee continually reviewing personnel matters. A personnel policy handbook was formally adopted by the city in 2005 and is required to be read by every employee. The handbook covers a broad range of topics, including recruitment, selection, the hiring process, transfers, promotions, under-fillings, demotions, work hours, pay, benefits, leave, holidays, career development, conduct, grievances, and performance reviews. The personnel policy also requires a 90-day probationary period for new hires in which an employee is provided orientation and is closely observed by the supervisor. At the end of the probationary period, copies of a performance report completed by the supervisor are to be given to the employee and filed in the employee's personnel file. Chapter IV, Section 1 of the City of Saxman Personnel Policy requires that formal utility employee performance evaluations be conducted not only at the end of the 90-day probationary period, but annually. A new employee performance evaluation is in the process of being adopted by the city and will be used in future evaluations. The city administrator/clerk does keep the personnel committee apprised of all personnel-related issues. Comprehensive written job descriptions, however, have been adopted by the city for each utility operator and clearly define position titles, certification requirements, supervisors, qualifications, work hours, and duties. These job descriptions are included in the utility staffs personnel folders, along with Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9s, W-4s, new hire packets, copies of certifications, and disciplinary warning memos. They are currently looking at improving their employee job description. The city continues to budget for and provide training opportunities to utility staff as needed and available. The city administrator/clerk has attended business administration, financial planning, and municipal clerk training courses and is planning to attend personnel management training this fall. She is also active in the Sanitation Deficiency System (SDS) program. The financial manager has attended the RUBA financial, planning, and personnel training along with a Municipal Clerks class. Utility operators are consistently provided the opportunity to undertake certification training and examinations and remain in contact with Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) engineers for onsite training with new equipment and attended the RUBA organizational training. One council member attended the RUBA elected officials training. Funds have been allocated in the city's FY14 budget for travel and per diem for future training.
Organizational Management
Essential Indicators
The entity that owns the utility is known; the entity that will operate the utility is set.
The policy making body is active in policy making of the utility.
The policy making body enforces utility policy.
The utility has an adequately trained manager.
The utility has an adequately trained bookkeeper.

The policy making body meets as required.
The utility complies with the open meeting act for all meetings.
Organizational Management Comments
The City of Saxman owns and operates the community's water and wastewater systems. Ordinances giving the city the necessary authority to operate these systems have been adopted. The seven-member city council is the city's governing authority and the utility's policy-making body. The council holds regular meetings as required by Alaska Statutes Title 29 on the third Wednesday of each month. To comply with Alaska's Open Meetings Act, the city consistently posts notice of each meeting at least five days in advance at the city hall, the tribal office, the seaport, the South Tongass Service building, and the Cape Fox Corporation building. Meetings are also advertised in the Ketchikan Daily News and on three public radio stations. Each notice indicates the type of meeting to be held, as well as its location, date, and time. The city council is active in policy-making for the utility, as evidenced in the six months of council meeting minutes reviewed by RUBA staff and the eight years of utility-related ordinances passed by the council. The meetings minutes show that council is provided with utility manager reports, briefings on ongoing utility upgrade projects, staffing and financial issues, training requests, and concerns of the public. The minutes also show that municipal acts, including resolutions and budget amendments, are adopted as necessary and in accordance with standard rules of parliamentary procedure. City staff have requested a rate study to be done by RUBA staff to assess the cost of the new plant and to raise rates if needed. Provisions within the collections policy are strictly enforced; customers are assessed late fees, referred to collections, and disconnected from service as required. The city administrator/clerk functions as the utility manager. The administrator/clerk has worked for the city for approximately six years and is appropriately trained to oversee the day-to-day operations of the utility. She has attended personnel management, business administration, financial planning, and municipal clerk training courses and is active in the Sanitation Deficiency System (SDS) program. The administrator/clerk provides written monthly reports to the city council and holds staff meetings with the utility operators each Monday. The city's finance officer oversees the utility's financial and accounting systems. The city's finance officer has worked for the city for about four years and has significant financial experience from the public and private sectors. The utility's payroll, billing, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and tax filing systems are all operated successfully and the utility has not seen any serious financial or accounting errors under her watch. The finance officer has attended personnel management, financial management, planning, and the clerk's RUBA training. The assistant financial officer has attended the financial RUBA training. The utility operator is certified at level one for the water distribution system classifications and is currently working towards level two for the water treatment system. The backup operator is currently working towards provisional certification. The State of Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation, Division of Water has rated Saxman's water treatment system at the Class 2 level based on the plant's various components. The city's water distribution and wastewater collection systems are rated as Class 1, though this level is determined by the number of connections served. The city utilizes an organizational chart that clearly indicates levels of authority and the relationship between supervisors and subordinates. The organizational chart appropriately places customers (residents of the City of Saxman) at the top of the chart, followed by the city council, the city administrator/clerk, and then the utility operators. The chart is in keeping with the true, adopted management structure of the city.
Operation of Utility
Essential Indicators
The utility operator(s) are actively working towards necessary certification.
The utility has a preventative maintenance plan developed for the existing sanitation facilities.
Sustainable Indicators
The manager receives a monthly O&M report from the utility operator and routinely "spot checks" the facilities to see that the maintenance items are being completed.
The utility has a safety manual and holds safety meetings.
Utility facilities have not suffered any major problems/outages due to management issues that are unresolved.
The utility is operating at the level of service that was proposed.
The operator provides status reports to the manager on a routine basis.
The utility has completed and distributed its "Consumer Confidence Report".
The utility is not on the "Significant Non-Complier" (SNC) list.
The utility maintains an inventory control list.
The utility maintains a critical spare parts list.
Operation of Utility Comments
As noted in the Organizational Management section, the utility operators are working towards adequate certification at the classification level of the city's water treatment and distribution systems. Both operators continue to meet the Department of Environmental Conservation's continued education unit (CEU) requirements on time and receive onsite training and assistance from ANTHC engineers. A new water treatment plant is now in place. A preventative maintenance plan was included in the operations manual for the older equipment and an updated preventative maintenance plan relative to the new system will be on hand as well and is being carried out by the utility operator. City staff attends monthly safety meetings put on by AMLJIA. Everyone signs in and this documentation is faxed to AMLJIA. This benefits the city via insurance discounts as well as 'safety dollars' that the city can spend on safety equipment. Resources explaining general safety practices such as lifting and common workplace hazards are available on-site. The utility manager also meets at least weekly with the operators, makes routine spot checks of facilities, and receives verbal reports from utility staff addressing any issues of concern, including safety topics. The utility has annual fire safety inspections conducted and is considering the installation of protection fences around its fuel tanks. Saxman's sanitation facilities have not suffered any major outages due to management issues and continue to operate at the proposed level of service. The utility continues to distribute its Consumer Confidence Reports with the 2012 report released in 2013. The community's water system uses surface water, which, if inadequately filtered, may contain disease-causing organisms. With the new water treatment system in place, the old boil water notice is no longer an issue. The utility is anticipating tapping into a new water source to meet the growing needs of the community. Though the operators have kept some critical spare parts on hand, they have not maintained an inventory control list or a complete critical spare parts list for the current water treatment system. City staff are currently working with ANTHC staff to develop necessary parts lists relevant to the new equipment.

Top Five Braai Spots in #LoveCapeTown
Fazielah Williams
Fazielah Williams has lived in and loved her Mother City since birth. Having lived all over the Peninsula during her childhood, she now calls the picturesque City Bowl home and likes nothing more than watching the sun set over Table Bay from the window of her apartment.
A lover of the arts and proud Cape Town fanatic, Fazielah began her writing career by spending many hours as a child conjuring fantastical stories that featured independent heroines from faraway lands who saved the Prince instead. This Capetonian princess has enjoyed stints as a magical arts PRO and TV publicist before finding her calling as a travel writer.
When not waxing lyrical about the Fairest Cape's most loved attractions and activities and embarking on unexpected adventures, Fazielah can usually be found taking in a show at one of the City's fabulous theatres.
Editor's Note: This blog was first published on 21 September, 2011 and since been updated.
In delicious #LoveCapeTown, we're good at doing a great number of things but none so more that socialising and braaing.
Whether it's meat or fish, you can be sure that on a spectacular summer's day (winter too!), you will find us gathered around the fire, enjoying each other's company, the tantalising aroma of meat on the grill and our breathtaking city views.
Heritage Day on September 24 has spawned a National Braai Day movement but you can wear your "Kiss the Cook" apron and use your tongs any day of the year at these top braai spots in Cape Town:

Contact: +27 (0)21 638 1355

Live from La Scala: Dream Cast for Verdi's Requiem
Daniel Barenboim directs a peerless team of soloists, starring Jonas Kaufmann, and the Chorus and Orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala in Verdi's Messa da Requiem
Audio and video recording released by Decca to mark the beginning of Verdi's Bicentenary Year
Forged in the white heat of live performance, Daniel Barenboim's sensational account of Verdi's Requiem on Decca is sure to stand among the most important classical releases of 2013 and to endure as a lasting landmark of the Verdi Year. It also represents the conductor's first audio recording in his role as Music Director of Milan's illustrious opera house.
Barenboim's vision of the composition highlights the work's rich humanity, from the searing force of its Dies irae ("Day of wrath") to the transcendent beauty of the closing Libera me prayer ("Deliver me").
The new recording features an all-star cast, complete with one of today's greatest Verdians, Jonas Kaufmann, whose interpretation of the work's sublime tenor solos captivate the ear. It also connects directly with the great Verdi legacy cultivated by the Orchestra of Milan's Teatro alla Scala, scene of the Requiem's first concert presentation in May 1874 and of many legendary performances since.
Soprano Anja Harteros, mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča and the mighty bass René Pape here join forces with Jonas Kaufmann to form a dream team of soloists. The excellence and subtle insights of their work are underpinned by compelling choral singing from the Chorus of La Scala and electrifying playing from Maestro Barenboim's Milanese orchestral musicians.
Decca's audio, DVD and Blu-ray recordings of Verdi's Requiem capture the energy produced by these performers in concert at La Scala last September.
"I was blown away by [Barenboim's] Requiem", wrote Richard Morrison in The Times, following the work's performance at the Lucerne Festival. "Highlights? Kaufmann's first entry was like an erupting volcano. Garanča was as mesmerising, floating creamy legatos while mustering a thrilling chest voice that I never thought she possessed . . ."
"Kaufmann . . . impressed in his Ingemisco", wrote BachTrack of his Salzburg Festival Requiem performance, "balancing tenderly voiced opening phrases with an underlying force that carefully came to the fore, ensuring that the first top B flat wouldn't seem to come from nowhere."

Above: Tahitian ASP World Tour surfer (and star of the upcoming TWS surf flick Surprise Excitement Party) Michel Bourez on Cote's Cube…
Okay this is getting ridiculous. With little surf and party after party going on, healthy livers are in short supply here. Last night, Stab Magazine teamed up with Nike 6.0 for a bash here at Komune. Team TransWorld was split into two groups until yesterday afternoon when Chris, Checkwood, the Coffin bros, their filmer Ryan, and Jack Freestone rolled into Coolie and joined the fray. Their arrival coincided with the party and lads couldn't have been happier.
The surf is yet to do much of anything but according to reports there's a good sized swell on the way. Tonight is Dean Morrison's movie premiere down by Kirra—I'm pretty sure the whole town is going to show up for that one. After the year Dingo's had (wife left him, dog died, fell off the tour, blew his knee out) there ought to be some pretty candid moments. As well, Dingo is one of the most-tubed human beings in the world. It all adds up for a banger of a flick.
All everyone can talk about is Charlie Sheen. "Let's get Sheened!" "Tiger blood!" Given the debauchery going down, Charlie would fit right in.

Most of us can point to the time when we first caught crossed-flag fever. For Dick Dawson, it was in '63, when the split-window Sting Ray first rolled out of St. Louis. "I fell in love with it," he says of the midyear. "It became an obsession." An obsession that, in Dawson's case, led through five C2 Corvettes-including a seriously-built '65 that he raced in Mexico's Carrera Pan Americana road race-and ultimately led to the hybrid "Z067" roadster seen here.
As timeless as the Sting Ray is, things have changed since '63, and the Corvette with them. Having grown restless with the limited-by-comparison performance of the C2, Dawson began studying the cold fusion it would take to blend the classic looks of a midyear with the latest technology of a new Corvette, creating the best of the breed in the process.
The project began with two halves-a top and a bottom-from two different Corvettes. The first was a rolling chassis from an '02 Z06. The 2002 model year was when the Z06's LS6 engine jumped from 385 horsepower to 405, bringing the car's 0-60 time down to around 4 seconds. Reputed to have been a test vehicle, Dawson's '02 roller only had 1,100 miles on the clock and even had its original tires.
The '66 to which this running gear was to be mated, however, was a different story entirely. Bought from a dealer who had obtained it from a previous owner in the form of an abandoned restoration project, the '66 comprised a finished frame with the body barely bolted on. At this point, it should be obvious to even a casual observer that simply installing a C5 engine, transaxle, and suspension on a stock midyear frame is something of a non-starter. Before we get into how Dawson did it, though, let's look at why it's worth doing.
The big advantage of the C5 gear has virtually nothing to do with the engine. There are plenty of otherwise-stock C2s pushing out 400 hp or more, and aftermarket EFI conversions are common enough that making a high-horse engine driveable is no longer the challenge it once was. What the C5 offers is driveability of a different sort. The rear-mounted transaxle greatly improves front-rear weight distribution for more-balanced handling, and the short/long arm (SLA) double-wishbone rear suspension is light-years ahead of the rather crude three-link setup found on the midyear.
Although GM was aware of the SLA system as far back as the '50s, the company chose to inflict the cheaper three-link system on the Corvette when the independent rear suspension debuted on the car in 1963. The wheel was connected to the differential on either side by the axle half-shaft on the top and a strut on the bottom, both of which were of different lengths. When the suspension was compressed under load, the wheel gained camber, keeping more of the tread in contact with the road. What it did not do was gain camber consistently. The half-shafts were of the "floating" variety, which meant they were free to wander in and out of the diff. This, of course, plays merry havoc with the camber, adding that extra touch of unpredictability that keeps the wild-eyed excitement in driving a C2 or shark.
The C4-style five-link rear, while a decisive step ahead, was still bettered with the introduction of the C5's more precise twin-A-arm configuration. The C5 also offered a six-speed, rear-mounted transaxle, which put the transmission at the rear of the car, right in front of the differential. While this greatly improved the front-to-rear weight distribution, all of that stuff still ain't gonna bolt up to a stock C2 chassis.

96% of shoppers find videos helpful when making purchase decisions online, and 80% say that having a video to show how a product or service works is important.
Cendrine Marrouat - SocialMediaSlant.com's curator insight, June 18, 1:34 AM
Have you ever wondered why people dislike auto-play videos? According to Liraz Margalit, it is steeped in history.
A fascinating look at how human behavior plays a role in marketing. This is something that is vital if you want your products to sell.
The post is interesting as well, because it is hosted on a website that does the exact opposite of the author advised. I already discussed this issue with one of the founders, but apparently they don't care about the UX. If you read the comments, you will understand what I mean.
A great article. Too bad that The Next Web doesn't walk the talk!
Mike Donahue's curator insight, June 19, 12:23 PM
Every website that has one of those annoying "sign up" screens that pops up immediately after the page loads and before you've even read anything (that includes you TNW) needs to read this. A great article that explains how your desire to drive a visitor a specific action may in fact drive them to do the opposite.
@Liraz - The only suggestion I would make is that rationalization happens in the conscious, not the subconscious, mind.

Yankee Classic: The Battle Within

"One thinks of the answer given by Audie Murphy to the question about how long it takes a man to get over war. Murphy's reply was that one never does."
— Home from the War
by Robert Jay Lifton
"… he searched for wounded, exposing himself to hostile fire; as bullets dug up the dirt, he held plasma bottles high, completely engrossed in his lifesaving mission …. "
— Medal of Honor
citation for Lawrence Joel, March 9, 1967
The meeting was set for eight o'clock. but now it's past nine. "It's his car," his sister says. "The car's nothing but trouble. He should've left Hartford at five." It's the start of Washington's Birthday weekend and outside light rain falls on the quiet Bridgeport street, the houses separated by small muddy lawns and a scattering of fences. She hears a car pull into the drive and nods. "He's home."
Larry Joel walks in, a man in his early fifties, tall, slender, with a groomed Afro — "Took me six months to grow it after I retired." His face is soft and round with shy brown eyes behind glasses. He apologizes for the delay; there were errands and lots of traffic. He leads the way to his apartment on the second floor, a bag of groceries in his arms. He takes the steps slowly. "There's arthritis in my shoulder, arthritis in my leg," he says later, "but I don't let people know I have pain. I tell myself I don't hurt, then I don't hurt as much."
He's lived in the apartment above his sister's since he retired from the army in 1973, commuting the hour to Hartford where he works for the Veterans Administration as a counselor. "The drive's wearing me down," he says. "Maybe I should move to Hartford." He puts water on the stove for the instant coffee he gulps incessantly. "I haven't had a drink in four years," he says. "This is my replacement."
He puts a pack of Kools on the kitchen table, saying it's the only habit he has left. "I haven't talked about the medal," he says. "Too many bad experiences earning it, and too many bad experiences living with it. I've been wanting to talk about this a long time. But I haven't been ready." He was a medic in the 173rd Airborne, the first ground troops sent to Vietnam. He arrived in May 1965, the rainy season.
"They told us to bring bathing suits, we'd be there only a few weeks. We'd patrol days and never run into the enemy. We had to simulate death so we'd know how to deal with it. One night something was moving in the bushes and some trigger-happy guys let loose. The next morning we found two hogs, 250 pounds apiece. We put one on a chopper and made a barbecue pit at camp. We smoked up some delicious ribs. That's what the war was for us, until November 8, 1965.
"I was 37 and a lot of the young soldiers followed me around like I was their father. They'd come to me with their problems. Except for our platoon sergeant, who'd been in Korea, none of us had seen combat.
"We were told to travel light that day — we had one more area to check out, then we'd be lifted out. I had a premonition that morning. As I was walking my mind flashed to my daughter and wife and son. They say we crossed water that morning but I don't remember going through water. I guess there are some things I'll never remember. We stopped at a clearing where hills rose on two sides. We saw fresh camouflage had been broken; we knew something was in there. Nothing was moving. But there were three regiments of North Vietnamese just waiting for us.
"All of a sudden it was like the Fourth of July. I was with four riflemen and we dived behind this little rock jutting up by the side of the hill. The rain had washed away the soil, and we just piled on top of each other. We could hear bullets ricocheting off the rock. One of the men with me got hit in the kneecap. He was bleeding bad and I bandaged him up, gave him morphine and a can of albumin serum. I thought for sure he would make it. After about half an hour it got reed quiet. I heard, 'Medic.' That's all I could hear — 'Medic. Medic.' I looked over behind the rock and saw them lying on the side of the hill, some sitting up with rifles across them. That's how they got killed, as if they were sitting on the side of the hill sightseeing.
