"I'm retired and I don't
have to do this, but I really
like interacting with the
kids," he said.
Hernandez teaches all of
his students to respect one
another and their elders,
and it shows. He said teach-
ers in the school often tell
him that a student's behav-
ior improves markedly after
participating in NJROTC.
"They always get com-
pliments for their courtesy
and politeness," he said.
Hernandez said he teach-
es students about respect
and how it is both given
and earned.
"You can't get respect
unless you give it," he said.
"An adult can stamp their
foot on the deck and say 'I
want respect,' but it's an-
other thing to earn it. It's
worked for me for 12 years."
Students also learn
about leadership in Her-
nandez' class.
After their first year in
the class, many students
become squad leaders, he
said, and are in charge of
groups of their peers. Stu-
dents in NJROTC are all
members of a Naval science
class at the school.
While Hernandez is
bringing positive attention
to Shelton's NJROTC pro-
gram through his award,
the group faces an uncer-
tain future.
With dwindling recruit-
ment numbers, the Shel-
ton NJROTC was notified
this summer that the Navy
planned to disestablish, or
disband, the Shelton unit.
While the NJROTC now
has the required 100 mem-
bers, it might still be bro-
ken up at the end of June
2013.
Hernandez said he and
others involved in the pro-
gram are focused on the
present and having the best
NJROTC group they can.
"My concentration right
now is to make sure I pro-
vide positive energy," he
said. "The community's re-
ally shown a lot of support.
You do the best you can
daily."
And the NJROTC is do-
ing the best it can. On Nov.
17, the NJROTC Color
Guard took first place in a
drill team competition at
South Kitsap High School.
Each day, NJROTC mem-
bers show up at the school
at 6:30 a.m. to practice
drills.
"That's motivation," Her-
nandez said.

across time and space.
Mark your calendar now
to attend this joyous con-
cert. Shows will be at 7
p.m. on Dec. 14 at the
Shelton United Method-
ist Church; 3 p.m. on Dec.
15 at St Hugh Episcopal
Church in Allyn; and 3
p.m. on Dec. 16 at the

nity Hall.
There will be only one
LaJune Senior Lunch

serving pulled pork with
mashed potatoes and pork
gravy along with green
salad, buns and bread
pudding. All residents old-
er than 50 are invited. The
doors open at noon, but be
advised to get there a lit-
tle early because the com-
munity hall fills up fast.
One hundred twenty
family, friends and
neighbors celebrated
Thanksgiving 2012 in
that special fashion that
only the Harstine Island
Hall could provide. Five
roasted turkeys, stuffing,
mashed potatoes and gra-
~T were accompanied by
a myriad potluck dishes,
such that no one could
leave the table without
grand portions of their
holiday favorites. Hosts
Linda and Mike Benson,
Ruth and Jim Irish and
Lynn Fish wish to express
their gratitude to the
kitchen help, including
Anne, Barbara, Pamela,
Whickey and to the Ben-
son and Irish families for
their special contribu-
tions.
Volunteers in the Harst-
ine Island Community
Club are again putting to-
gether a New Year's Buf-
fet and Dance. It will be
Dec. 31 and it will be in
the community hall. The
buffet will run from 8-11
p.m. and there will be mu-
sic played from 8 p.m. to
12:30 a.m. And that music
will be played by Swing
Fever and their big band
sound.
If you haven't danced
in the new year with this
group, you have missed
out -- they are terrific.
Advance tickets are $20
a person and at the door
they will be $25. This is a
BYOB event. Tickets can
be bought from Bill Shoaf
670-9645 or at the Fresh
Start Dell.
