In a shocking development, the current officers were all re-elected to their current posts. I guess the Tea Party has no problem with the way we run things. Our guest speaker was Capt Drew Bisset, USN Ret. He presented an interesting video about the training regimen for Navy Seals. My muscles got sore just watching it. Glen Reem has arranged for Butch Hendrick of Lifeguard Systems to join us at our February meeting. He will be discussing what sport divers can learn from safety divers.

6 Gloves or No Gloves? On a recent group trip to Key West, I managed to cut my fingers clawing down the mooring line to the recently scuttled "Vandenberg." The current was so strong, it took just about all I had to finally reach the wreck with several of my divers in tow. I never wear gloves in the tropics as I'm trying to set an example for my students and travelers. That night at dinner, several other divers also had "paper" cuts on the tips of their fingers and we discussed infections and how we should all keep a watch on the injuries and apply an antiseptic to the wound. In all my 47 years of diving, I have never experienced any major marine injury until now. Over a month's time, I noticed my finger beginning to swell. I left again on another trip, this time the Red Sea, with hopes that the salt water and sun would cure my wound. The swelling only increased and my finger tip showed signs of a "pus" pocket forming. I tried soaking the affected finger in Epson salts and warm water to no avail. Three weeks later, I'm off again, this time to Cozumel. My swollen finger seemed to have stabilized but was not getting any better. Upon my return from Cozumel, I finally checked in with my local Veterans Administration hospital (VA) where they had me have an x-ray and blood test. With everything showing normal, I was put on several antibiotics and told to report back in a month. Within two weeks, I noticed the infection worsening. Went back to the VA and not only did I have another x-ray and blood test, but they also ordered an MRI. The MRI showed fluid not only in my finger but spreading to my palm. I was immediately scheduled for surgery the following week! The surgery consisted of opening up my finger down to the base of my palm to drain infection fluid and to take a sample for culture. I was now put on three different antibiotics, about a two month supply! After leaving the VA with a hard cast from my right elbow down to my fingertips, I returned a week later for a follow-up. The hard cast was removed and a smaller splint was put in it's place. I was finally able to see the extent of the incision with all the stitches! At the follow-up, I asked if anything showed up on the culture. The only thing they knew was that there was a causing bacteria, but it was so slow growing, they need more time to culture it. I returned a week and a half later for another follow-up and to have the stitches removed. At that time, they finally identified the guilty bacteria. "Mycobacterium Marinum" is what's causing the problem. Common with commercial fisherman and commercial aquarium workers, a cut from shell fish or fin fish can cause the infection I have. It's now been almost 4 months Page 6 since this whole episode began. I'm happy to report that my finger is almost back to normal size. I have no open wounds and all I have to work on is building my grip after the extensive surgery. The big question is, should we really deny divers the right to wear gloves? What I experienced I would not wish on anyone. True, it's rare, but it can and does happen. I just came back from Bonaire with another group and I had to show a doctor's note to be able to wear gloves! Ironically, one of my divers cut her fingers on the mooring line down to the "Hilma Hooker." Needless to say, she is very concerned about what might happen. If divers are taught better buoyancy control techniques and taught that if they have to stabilize themselves while taking pictures, to pick a spot to place one finger on dead coral or sand, I do not think the coral environment will suffer any where near the suffering I have had to endure. At least let us wear gloves going up and down ascent/decent lines and be allowed to wear gloves while diving wrecks. Capt. Noel Voroba/Pres. Orbit Marine

Lawsuit: Key West owes $1 million for 'Vandenberg' cleaning McCLATCHY-TRIBUNE The fish, and the scuba divers, have been enjoying the sunken USS Hoyt S. Vandenberg. The city of Key West also has benefited from the economic stimulus of the tourist attraction, sunk seven miles off the city nearly a year ago. The Norfolk, Va., Colonna's Shipyard, however, has not been reaping any of the benefits, the company says in a new lawsuit. Colonna's is suing Key West for more than $1 million it says it's owed for cleaning up the 520-foot Vandenberg, a former military transport ship, for scuttling as an artificial reef. Key West, the state of Florida and the Keys tourism industry spent nearly 10 years raising money for obtaining, cleaning, towing and, finally, sinking the Vandenberg. The final cost was more than $8 million. Colonna's got the contract to clean the ship, but a legal dispute over failed payments to the shipyard and its subcontractors waged for a year in Norfolk's federal court. The Vandenberg, once a James River Reserve Fleet ship, was auctioned off on the steps of the U.S. District Courthouse in Norfolk to pay those bills. Colonna's now says the auction did not cover its expenses and Key West has reneged on a deal to settle up. Colonna's, located on the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, spent about a year scrubbing the Vandenberg clean of asbestos, lead paint and other toxic wastes. When it was finished, the shipyard said it was still owed $1.6 million. Colonna's received $677,000 from the auction, with subcontractors splitting the rest. Now, it has turned to Key West to pony up the other $1 million. Meanwhile, since the Vandenberg was sunk in May, Key West has been enjoying millions in economic benefits, Colonna's says in the suit. The Vandenberg, the largest ship sunk as an artificial reef off the Keys, served as a troop transport in World War II. Later it was converted to track missile tests and followed the Mercury and Gemini space liftoffs.
