I am not a cook and I loathe holiday cooking, but I’ve found the easiest recipe for a turkey that is tasty and super simple. I had to be sure to share it with everyone! Enjoy!

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Rinse and wash turkey. Discard the giblets or you can add these to pan if these are anyone’s favorites.

2. Place turkey in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Separate the skin over the breast to make little pockets. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter on both sides between the skin and breast meat. This makes for very juicy breast meat.

3. Combine the water with the bouillon, and sprinkle in the parsley flakes and minced onion. Pour over the top of the turkey. Sprinkle seasoning salt over the turkey.

4. Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 4 to 5 hours. For the last 45 minutes or so, remove the foil so the turkey will brown nicely.

Okay, so I know this may not be easy for all – but if all else fails, visit Gordon Conference & Catering on November 26th for a great meal!

“Hooah” is not just a word; it is an esprit de corps and holds significant meaning to those in the military who use it. “Hooah’s” counterparts, “Hooyah” (Navy Special Forces) and “Oorah” (Marines) share a sense of motivation, unity, mission preparedness and confidence in success. Meanwhile, neither the Navy as a whole nor the Air Force appears to have a service call that represents them, although the Navy does use “Aye Aye.”

Varying sources agree there is no definitive genesis for these calls, although there is quite a bit of speculation. “Hooyah” and “Oorah” are most commonly thought to derive from

hoorah, while “Hooah” appears to have far more numerous possible sources. From Mongolian’s war cry “Hurree” to the British infantry’s “Huzzah,” from the acronym HUA to General Cota mishearing “Who, us?” as “Hooah” in response to his “Lead the way, Rangers” on D-Day, “Hooah” has a variety of possible sources from which to claim its derivation.

Although there are no set definitions, spellings or origins for “Hooah,” “Hooyah” and “Oorah,” they are a well-defined and significant part of military culture, their meaning well understood by the military who share their use.

Jenifer Chrisman, Staff Writer

Service Calls and AcronymsAye Aye is used by the Navy to indicate an order has been received, is understood and, with the intent to act, will be carried out immediately.

Hooah /’hu:a:/ referring to or meaning “anything and everything except no”. Used by the U.S. Army.

Hooyah is the battle cry of the Naval Special programs such as SEAL, SWCC, Diver, SAR and EOD programs. It may be used in cadence, whispered or shouted.

HUA is an acronym for “Heard, Understood, Acknowledged.”

HUAW is an acronym for “Hurry Up And Wait.”

Oorah, or Hoorah, is used as an expression of enthusiasm, battle cry or to respond to a verbal greeting by the U.S. Marines.

The SAC program participated in the ZAC camp. The ZAC camp is a Boys and Girls Club sponsored event that focuses on water safety. Our camp was from 23-26 June. During this four day camp the SAC children learned about the A,B,C & D’s of water safety. “A” stands for adult: it is always important to have an adult around when in or near water. “B” stands for barriers: children should pay attention to fences and gates around swimming areas. “C” stands for classes: all children should take swim classes before they ever try to swim. “D” stands for drains: avoid drains in pools at all costs because they can create a suction. It was successful and the kids had fun.

Tom Dudzick’s play smacks of the warm, old fashioned appeal of a Frank Capra film, but it’s all of that and much more. It’s an antidote, not only for pre-holiday anxiety, but for the apathy of modern life and the deadness that settles in when we become so adjusted to looking at things in a certain way that we no longer see them at all. Die hard pessimists will find the advice it offers simplistic. But of course the question is: if it’s so simple, why is it so difficult?
