Question:I live on Point Mugu and was wondering if it

would be possible to up the patrols through housing,especially on Sparrow Drive, in the middle sectionof housing. I live on Sparrow and have witnessedmany people going sometimes triple the 15 mphspeed limit through housing. I have two childrenwho ride their bikes on that street, and it makes mevery nervous. Is there any way to post more of themilitary patrols on that street to catch some of theseoffenders? Thank you!

Answer:Thank you for bringing this extremely dangerous

situation to our attention.I directed our police officers to patrol the area

more frequently and start a safety enforcementarea along Sparrow Drive, which means they willbe watching and enforcing the speed limits in thisarea more frequently. I hope this solves the problemand that you’ll feel more comfortable letting yourchildren ride bikes in what should be a safe, secureneighborhood.As the weather warms up and spring approaches,

this is a good time to remind everyone who driveson board Naval Base Ventura County – both PointMugu and Port Hueneme – that children are oftenpresent on base, especially in residential areas, andthat sharp attention is critical at all times whenyou’re behind the wheel.Stay safe, everyone!

Can speeding drivers be stopped in Point Mugu housing?

With donations still trickling in, fed-eral employees from Ventura, Santa Bar-bara and San Luis Obispo counties gave$910,051 to the 2010-2011CaliforniaGoldCoast Combined Federal Campaign(CFC), down slightly from last year.“It’s a tough economy right now,” ex-

plained Chief Navy Counselor (SurfaceWarfare) Mario Maytorena, installationretention adviser for Naval Base VenturaCounty and the executive chairman of thisyear’s drive. “All agencies were signifi-cantly lower, primarily because of theeconomy.”The notable exception wasNavalWeap-

ons Test Squadron 30 (VX-30), whichbrought in $11,000, up from last year’s$2,000.

“That was a huge jump,” Maytorenasaid.The squadron invited guest speakers

who told how they had benefited from theorganizations that receive money from thecampaign. Among them were a visuallyimpaired man who moved into his ownapartment and gained independencethrough Arc, and three women who cred-ited Teen Challenge with helping themovercome addiction.Their presentations prompted 77 people

in the squadron to contribute.Otherwise, 2010 was, asMaytorena put

it, “a slow year.”Last year, the 17,000 federal workers in

the tri-county area raised $951,000, 5 per-cent more than the year prior. This year’s

goal was $1 million.Maytorena said that regardless of the

goal, he was proud of the amount thatwas raised given the grim economy.“We’re here to raise funds, whether it

ends up meeting the goal or not,” he said.“I believe we have done an outstandingjob providing for those in need.”The campaign kicked off at PointMugu

on Sept. 30 and at Port Hueneme on Oct.5. It ran through Dec. 17.Federal workers could choose from

among 200 charities to help fund via al-lotments from their paychecks beginningJan. 1 or via a one-time donation.Capt. Jim McHugh, commanding of-

ficer, NBVC, chaired this year’s cam-paign.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said,“Intelligence plus character – that is thegoal of true education.”More than four decades after King’s

death, two professors from local commu-nity colleges met at Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) to discuss King’s educa-tional impact on generations past, presentand future.The Jan. 13 event was a joint command

celebration put on by NBVC and NavalSurface Warfare Center Port HuenemeDivision. Held in honor of Martin LutherKing Jr. Day on Jan. 17, it attracted anaudience of about 100.OlaWashington, a Ventura College pro-

fessor of African American history, andBilly Davis, an Oxnard College professorof computer information systems, agreedthat King’s impact on education is stillbeing felt today andwill be for generationsto come.Washington, who called King “one of

the greatest men who ever lived” and “aprophet sent fromGod,”described educa-tion in the days of segregation and cred-ited King with making integration suc-cessful by drawing attention to it through

Employment has long been a challengefor military spouses.Building a career can feel like a pipe

dream. The mobile nature of militaryservice, while great for the career of ourservice member, does not always “en-hance”our own resume. Add a downturnin the economy to that equation and mo-bile military spouses can find themselvesunemployed or underemployed.Ah, but the American entrepreneurial

spirit is alive and well among militaryspouses. More and more spouses arelooking for a mobile career and turningto home-based businesses and self-em-ployment.Andrea turned her love of sewing into

Ballie’s Bag and Baubles. Betty lovesmaking jewelry and launched GambizzleJewels.Joanna was looking for a way to ac-

knowledge spouses beyond a bouquet offlowers and launched Atta Girl Gifts.Stephanie turned her love of travel into

Cabrera Cruise and Travel.Other spouses are launching business-

es with Scentsy, Mary Kay, PamperedChef and much more.

Is entrepreneurship or self-employmentfor you?June Walbert, financial planner at

USAA, encourages interested spouses tospend ample time researching beforejumping in. She encourages would-beentrepreneurs and independent businessowners to develop a business plan beforelaunching a business. The exercise of de-veloping a business plan will help clarifyyour goals, focus your efforts and serveto assess the market you may be able toreach.For information on developing a busi-

ness plan and a free template, visit theSmall Business Administration (www.sba.gov/busplantemplate/bizplanstart.cfm).Research, research, research is the key

to getting off on the right foot. Researchyour idea for feasibility, start-up costs,market demand. Peruse competitors forideas and lessons learned. Network. Agreat tool to research possibilities is www.ratracerebellion.com. This site, foundedby Christine Durst, author of “The 2-Second Commute” and “Work at HomeNow,” both books I highly recommend,offers resources and information for as-sessing opportunities, avoiding scams andbest practices for your success as an in-dependent business owner (IBO) or en-trepreneur.One mistake many military spouse

IBOs make is to overestimate the oppor-tunities within the military community.Maddie, a photographer, limited her mar-keting to the installation newspaper.“There are only so many ‘homecoming

events,’” she said. “I had to expand myclientele beyond the military market, andthat was my first lesson learned.”Eva makes bows for little girls. Her

friends all love and patronize her. Shewas sure she could expand her market.She couldn’t seem to attract patronagebeyond her own circle of friends. Sherealized she needed to expand her prod-uct line and network beyond herfriends.“I spent so much on inventory and sup-

plies that I cost the family budget farmore than I made till I took time to seewhat others were making, selling andnetworking,” she said. “I am now break-ing even and hope to show a profitsoon.”And that brings us back to June Wal-

bert’s observation: It is “normal for start-ups to operate in the red for several yearsbefore firmly seeing a profit. Considerhow long it will take to see real incomein launching your business.”

Schoolconnection

withMonicaJames

Whether a student is new to VenturaCounty or has been enrolled here for sometime, it’s important for families to knowtheir options when choosing a school.TheNaval Base Ventura County School

Liaison Office will host an Education Op-tions Fair from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Fri-day, Feb. 11, in the Duke’s Ballroom atNBVC Port Hueneme.This education information event will

allow families to speak directly with schooladministrators about the programs thevarious schools offer.Before attending, it is important to have

a general knowledge of the options avail-able to families.

School transfersThere are two types of school transfers:

intradistrict and interdistrict. Intradistrictmeans you request to go to a school with-in your home district. Interdistrict is whenyou request to go to a school outside ofyour home district. As space is available,these transfers may or may not be ap-proved.If approved, transportation is the par-

ent’s responsibility.

Some districts begin the request processearly in the calendar year for the nextschool year. Now is the time to begin con-sidering a transfer for the 2011-2012school year.If a school is placed in Program Im-

provement (PI) due to the inability tomeetAdequate Yearly Progress, a student canrequest a transfer to another school in thedistrict that’s not in PI, as space permits.In this situation, transportation is the re-sponsibility of the district. Districts dohave deadlines for the request. A letter is

typically sent home notifying the familyof this option at the end of summer or thebeginning of the school year.

Charter schools and magnet schoolsA charter school is a public school that

operates independently of the school dis-trict structure. Each charter school has itsown registration process and registrationperiod. Often the registration period is atthe beginning of the calendar year for thefollowing school year.Transportation is the responsibility of

the parent.A magnet school operates within a

school district; however, it tends to havea focus area, such as technology or thearts, while still fulfilling all California statestandards. Often, enrollment is based ona lottery; again, the lottery is usually heldearly in the calendar year.

Private schoolsAlthough cost and transportation are

the responsibility of the parent, privateschools may offer benefits that some pub-lic schools are not able to provide, such asreligious education, alternative schedules,

specialized instruction or before- and af-ter-school care. There are many questionsparents should ask when choosing a pri-vate school concerning teacher credential-ing, school accreditation and average classsize.

Home schoolThis is an option for parents who choose

to take the responsibility of educatingtheir child. Often, costs are the responsibil-ity of the parent; however, there are manyresources available for families interestedin homeschooling, including supportgroups or “virtual”schools to provide sup-port and curriculum.

More than 20 representatives fromschools offering the many education op-tionsmentioned in this article will be avail-able to speak with families on Feb. 11 atthe Education Options Fair.No registration is required to attend.

— For any questions about this event or anyK-12 issue, please contact the NBVC schoolliaison officer at 989-5211 or e-mail [email protected].

Worship scheduleHave you ever wondered what would

have happened if Jesus Christ had put upthat familiar saying on his door: “I gaveat the office?”When I worked in my previous job, our

office received numerous calls from char-ities, clubs and organizations seeking do-nations from us. Historically, the expres-sion “I gave at the office” could be seenas way of justifying one’s refusal to donateto something, as if to say that one hasalready done so at work or at a previouslocation. It could alsomean that you havegiven your allotment for the year, so pleasedon’t ask again.But what if Jesus Christ had decided to

adopt this popular saying?Further, what if He meant, “I am not

going to give anymore than I have already”— that is to say that themiracles, the heal-ings and the teachings were enough, and“I am not going to give anymore.”

Ouch!Does this thought scare you? It did

me!Funny as it might be to think of Jesus

saying to a solicitor, “I gave at the temple”— or when yet another sick person cameor was brought to Him and told, “Lordwe need you to touch this man, and he

will be healed,” Jesus’ response being toturn his head to the side and saying, “No,I have healed enough people; try againnext week, or even next year” — thank-fully Jesus did not put up such a sign ortell people nowhen they came for healingsor miracles.We have benefited from his teachings

so much so that we are better people —and hopefully better Christians who taketo heart the teachings and ministry thatJesus provided.We are the beneficiaries of eternal life,

for when Jesus was asked to give that, notonly did he say yes, “I will give you whatyou ask,” but he sacrificed so much morebecause He “gave at the cross.”This will be my final submission, as it

is time for me to move on. Thanks forhonoring me by reading my submissions,and I pray for each of you to have goodhealth throughout the New Year.

What if Jesus had said, ‘Sorry, I gave at the temple?’

One of the Navy’s and Marine Corps’oldest friends is another year older andalways ready to lend a helping hand toactive and retired Sailors, Marines andtheir families in times of financial need.The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society

(NMCRS) operates around the world,serving where you serve, 24/7.Founded by 19 volunteers with the

Navy’s share of gate receipts from the 1903Army-Navy football game, these volun-teers laid the foundation for assistance.Since 1904,NMCRShas servedmore than4 million Sailors and Marines, providingmore than $1.1 billion in assistance.NMCRS is a private, non-profit char-

ity with more than 3,500 talented anddedicated volunteers supported by a smallprofessional staff.“We are proud to continue the service

of those original 19 volunteers by helpingSailors andMarines in Ventura County,”said JeanneBilliot, chairman of volunteersat NBVC.During 2010 alone, the society provided

$49.4 million in financial relief, helpingmore than 99,850 clients — the highestnumber of clients and assistance since

1993 when our Navy and Marine Corpswas significantly larger. Nearly one outof five Sailors andMarines on active dutyturned to NMCRS during the past 12months.Since 1904 the NMCRS has supported

Navy andMarine Corps families in timesof war, peace, natural disaster and per-sonal tragedy, taking care of the essentialneeds of our warriors, their families andsurvivors, and helping to ensure that thosein uniform are able to remain focused ontheir mission.The society’s Combat Casualty Assis-

tance Visiting Nurses are now serving aslong term case coordinators, providingresource information and referral servicesand emotional support tomore than 1,000Marines and Sailors injured in the war inIraq and Afghanistan and their families.During the past year, the society staff

assisted 583 combat casualty clients with$216,221.18 in financial assistance – mostof this is in the form of grants.The funds to pay for these critical ser-

vices come predominately from two sourc-es: the Department of the Navy’s ActiveDuty FundDrive and the Secretary of the

Navy’s directmail campaign to retirees, bothconducted annually during March. Thesetwo activities generate roughly $12 millionin charitable gifts. The society also receivesbequests, donations fromNavy andMarineCorps balls, receipts from thrift shop salesand other limited income.To findoutmoreaboutNMCRS,visit the

Through mid to late February, the po-table water supply entering Naval BaseVentura County will be temporarily dis-infected with chlorine instead of the nor-mal chloramines disinfectant.The NBVC Public Works Department

(PWD) is performing this annual opera-tion to keep the growth of nitrites in thewater system at a safe level.During this period, the PWD water

systems operators will be flushing thedistribution system to promote thechangeover to chlorine. The flushing willbe done via the base fire hydrants. Thewater systems operators will make everyeffort to minimize the impact of flushingto all of the tenants and residents at bothPoint Mugu and Port Hueneme.It is important to note that the drinking

water will continue to be safe, of highquality and will meet all federal and statewater quality standards. It is unlikely thatwater users will notice any change in theappearance or smell of their tap water.However, if any changes are noticed, basepersonnel should do the following:• If a stronger-than-normal chlorine

odor exists after an extended absence,allow the water to run for a few minutesto reduce the odor.• Should you notice a discoloration at

a sink or water fountain, merely allowthe water to flow for a few minutes toflush the line until clear water appears.Base residents should also check the wa-ter in their washing machine before put-ting clothes in for washing. If the wateris discolored, set the machine to the spincycle to drain the water. A second fillingshould result in clear water. If not, repeatthe draining and filling steps as neces-sary.The switchback to chloramines will be

announced when the temporary opera-tion is completed.Should anyone have questions regard-

ing this notice or the temporary change,please contact the PWD production of-ficer, Lt. Cmdr. Richard Ficarelli, at 989-7742, or the water systems operation

An informal memorial service to re-member those lost in the Alaska AirlinesFlight 261 disaster off Port Hueneme 11years ago will take place on Tuesday, Jan.31, at Hueneme Beach Park.No activities are planned at Naval Base

Ventura County.The service will begin at 3:45 p.m. and

conclude at 4:22 p.m., the time on Jan. 31,2000, when the airliner hit the water sixmiles off Port Hueneme, claiming the livesof all 88 passengers and crew on board.The tragedy is memorialized in the

Alaska Flight 261Monument atHuenemeBeach Park, which is where the service willtake place. Last year’s 10-year anniver-sary drew hundreds to the site.“The event will be informal this year,

but as always, a tribute to those who losttheir lives and an opportunity to thankthose who came to assist and support allthe family members who continue to vis-it the Ventura County community,” saidSteve Campbell, who for years has servedas a facilitator for families of the survi-vors.

KHEVAJEH MOLK, Afghanistan —Active duty and Reserve Seabees fromNaval Mobile Construction Battalions(NMCB) 18, 26 and 40 worked togetherlast month to build up and fortify a Com-bat Outpost (COP) on the northern fring-es of Kandahar City, Afghanistan.During the course of the three-week

project, the combined active and ReserveSeabees completed nearly one mile ofHESCO barrier perimeter, five hardenedguard positions, an anti-vehicle ditch, onesecure helicopter landing zone, an aerialsurveillance blimp site and a medical sta-tion. They also spread nearly 10,000 cubicmeters of stone.The COP will continue to be used by

Army Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 66thArmored Regiment, who have been fight-ing there since August, saidMarineMas-ter Sgt. John Kroll, military adviser forNMCB 26.“This project is unique because not only

does it combine Seabees from three con-struction battalions, but also incorporatesArmy soldiers from Task Force Lumber-jack to provide initial mine-proofing byharnessing the abilities of mine detectiondogs as well as providing critical jobs toboost the local economy,” said Kroll.The leveraging of combined joint mili-

tary forces along with the relationshipsand trust forged with local residents con-tributed to the overall success of the mis-sion, said Kroll.“They worked together to help bring

peace and stability to a portion of theArghandab River Valley that has beenwracked by decades of fighting and crim-inal activity,” he said.During the course of excavation, Sea-

bees unearthed a weapons cache of rock-et propelled grenades and thousands ofarmor-piercing sniper ammunition thatdated back to the 1980s, during a timewhen the Russians lost more than 4,000soldiers in the valley. The weapons weredestroyed to prevent ending up in thehands of insurgent fighters, said Kroll.Along with fortifying the defensive po-

sitions, Soldiers and Seabees are also for-tifying critical relationships with the local

community.“The Seabees have been a huge enabler

for us,” said Army Staff Sgt. Robert Cart-er of the 1st Battalion, 66th ArmoredRegiment. “They have allowed us tomain-tain a permanent presence here. The localswant protection from the Taliban, and it’shard tomake promises of protecting themwhen you have to constantly leave for re-supply.”Carter said he and other Soldiers had

been operating out of a small patrol basein a vacant village school.With the returnof fall classes, the soldiers needed to finda more permanent solution. The patrolbase was relocated to an old pre-existingcompound on the eastern edges of the vil-lage. The land is owned by the locals andis being leased by the United States, saidCarter.

Remember this date: Thursday, Feb. 17— because it could be your day! Ratherthan apply and wait for the employers tocall you back, we’re bringing them toyou.That day, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Fleet

andFamily Support Center onNaval BaseVentura County is hosting a job fair. Sofar, 30 employers and seven military-friendly schools have registered, andmoreemployers are expected.Here are some ways to create a good

impression:• Make it your day to stand out above

all the other applicants by sending a thankyou letter to the employers you met.Thanking an employer for their time isnot only a great way to express your con-tinued interest in them, but to also remindthem of who you are. There will hundredsof job seekers at the job fair, so a littlereminder by way of a thank you letter isalways a good idea. Be sure to ask for theirbusiness card so you know where to sendthe letter.• Make it your day to be seen as the one

who is prepared. Employers can instantlynotice a person who is organized. Theyare carrying their current resumes in afolder, perhaps have some business cardsin their shirt pocket, and they definitelyhave a pen. Employers are coming to thebase, so being in uniform is just fine, butif you have the chance to get into a suit,that would be good too.• Make it your day to get hired! This

could be as simple as telling the employerthat you want to work with them, but besure to know the line between being per-sistent and being pushy. The purpose ofa job fair is to get hired, so don’t leave theemployer wondering what your intentionsare. Come out and tell them.Need help preparing? Call the FFSC at

982-5037 for Port Hueneme or 989-8146for Point Mugu and ask to speak with anemployment specialist.The job fair is open to all active duty,

spouses, reservists, retirees, Defense De-partment employees, contract employeesand anyone who has installation access.

— Dave Oehldrich is a work and family lifeconsultant with the Fleet and Family SupportCenter.

Twice a month, half a dozen Sailorsdrive from Naval Base Ventura County,Point Mugu, to the Gateway School inCamarillo andmeet with some of themosttroubled teenagers in Ventura County.They talk, and what they say is about

as open and frank as you can get — onboth sides. They share a language, as theseparticular Sailors didn’t have the easiestof lives before they joined the Navy.All of the Sailors except one are from

the Fleet Readiness Center Southwest,Detachment Point Mugu (FRCSW Det.Point Mugu). They’re joined by ChiefEngineering Aide Jeanna Carlock of the

Center for Seabees andFacilities Engineer-ing.Their hope in starting this program,

“Pathways: Decisions for Success,” is thatthe kids they meet will veer onto a differ-ent road before it’s too late— just as theydid.“I figured these kids needed somebody

to guide them down the right path,” saidAviation Structural Mechanic 2nd ClassCarlos Lopez. “I’d seen a couple of men-torships, but the kids were already on theright path. This is where the real help isneeded.”Gateway School, an alternative school

run by the Ventura County Superinten-dent of Schools Office, enrolls sixth- to12th-graders who have been expelled fromother schools in the county or are in ju-venile hall. It’s a school of last resort.“I talked with one student in the pro-

gram who is thinking now about his fu-ture,” said the dean, RalphVelarde. “’Pret-

ty cool’” is how he described it.”Velarde hand-picked the two dozen stu-

dents who meet with the Sailors. By theend of 2010, they’d had only twomeetings,but Chief AviationMachinist’sMate JoshSullivan had already seen a difference.“There’s a consistent group that we’re

getting some good interaction with,” hesaid. “We’ll build slowly on that. Eachtime, it will be a little better.”In addition to Lopez and Sullivan, oth-

ers involved from FRCSW Det PointMugu are Chief Aviation ElectronicsTechnician Patrick Robinson, Chief Avi-ation Machinist’s Mate Joe Taylor, ChiefAviation Maintenance Administration-man Edward Hayes, AviationMachinist’sMate 2nd Class Jorge Chavez, AviationMachinist’sMate 2nd Class Adrian CasasandAviation Support Equipment Techni-cian 2nd Class Jessica Segura.Their first topic was onmaking choices.

Their second was on how to be successful.They frame their talks around their ownpast stories — and they’re not pretty.Chavez talked about how he turned his

ill-gotten fighting abilities into somethingpositive.“I was in your guys’ shoes all my life,”

he said, backing it up with his life story.“It’s not about what happens to you,”

he concluded. “It’s about what you doabout what happens to you.”He told the students that his goal is to

get them to rethink where they’re going.“This is all coming from our heart,” he

explained. “We want you to know wherewe were and how we got to where we arenow. Don’t go down the wrong path.”Sullivan wrapped up the last meeting

of 2010 with that same message.“Life is a challenge,”he told the teenag-

ers. “The path you choose to take makesall the difference in the world.”

When she was 16 years old, RhondaRose McGee wanted to take up boxing.“I’d always played soccer,” she said.

“But I wanted to give boxing a try.”Her mother, however, said no.Today, McGee is a 25-year-old master-

at-arms seaman in theU.S.Navy.No one’sgoing to tell her she can’t box. Instead,she’s hoping someone will tell her to boxmore – as part of the U.S. Navy BoxingTeam competing in the Armed ForcesBoxing Championships.McGee, who joined theNavy in January

of 2009 and is now stationed at Naval AirStation,Whidbey Island,Wash., is one of14 boxers from the U.S. Navy vying for aspot on the team that will compete againstthe Air Force, Army and Coast Guard onFeb. 14-19 at Lackland Air Force Base,San Antonio, Texas.Which boxers will move on will be de-

cided Saturday, Jan. 29, at the U.S. NavyBox-Off at Naval Base Ventura County,Port Hueneme. The free event runs from6 to 9 p.m. in the Warfield Gym.Saturday’s fight will be McGee’s first

official contest since she took up the sporttwo years ago.“I think I’m progressing very well,” she

said. “I’m determined, that’s for sure. No-body likes to lose.”As the only woman vying for a spot on

the team, she spars with local women whobox and who can make the practices —something that hasn’t happenedmuch thisyear — or the lighter weight men. At thebox-off, she’ll fight a local woman box-er.She believes that boxing is less about

strength than it is pushing yourself beyondyour limits.“I find it to be a great stress reliever,”

she said. “It’s fun. There’s always some-thing to learn.”A native of Vacaville, Calif., she gradu-

ated from high school and had earned herassociate’s degree in firefighting at nearbySolano Community College when she de-cided to join the Navy. She quit her job asan emergency room technician and recordsclerk at a Sacramento hospital and wentto the nearby recruiting office.

“It was a spur-of-the-moment decision,”she said. “That’s how I pretty much doeverything -- spur-of-the-moment. I justdecided I wanted to open up my options,but I really had no idea what I was goingto do.”Her firefighter training has proven use-

ful as a master-at-arms. Part of her job isto help clear the scene after a fire andmake sure it’s safe. She also has first re-sponder training.She’s currently working on her bache-

lor’s degree in firefighting.She has enjoyed the three-times-a-week

sparring schedule she’s had at trainingcamp.“The other fighters are really great, and

the coaches are too,” she said.Coach Steve Carbajal said he’s pleased

with the progress McGee has made incamp.“She shows a lot of promise,” he said.

“She’s got a great attitude.”And while McGee is looking forward

to Saturday, her eye is elsewhere.“I can’t wait to go to the Armed Forces

championships,” she said.

or 20 fights behind them,”he said. “They’redoing really well. It’s such a short camp,but their skill level is already reallygood.”One of themost experienced is Informa-

tion Systems Technician Sean SedgemanSeaman of Naval Computer andTelecom-munications AreaMaster StationAtlanticin Norfolk, Va. He has 37 fights in hiscareer. He’s been boxing since he was 13years old and is 20 now. He joined theNavy in 2007.“This is a great opportunity,”he said of

the boxing camp. “The way it’s organizedis awesome. They really get us in shape.”The Navy Box-Off, which is coordi-

nated byMorale, Welfare and Receation,has been held at NBVC for many years;the championships rotate among the dif-ferent armed forces. Last year’s champion-ships were at NBVC.The two coaches, both civilian volun-

teers, have the training routine down.Sylva, a longtime Ventura coach, has beenworking with Navy boxers for eight years,and Carbajal, of Santa Barbara, hascoached the Navy team for six.The boxers spar in a ring that’s been set

up at the Beehive Gym at Port Hueneme,right next to the boxing annex at the build-ing. They also work out at the Bee-FitHealth andWellness Center at Port Hue-neme.Looking to take the gold this year is

Hospitalman Brandon Wicker of CampLeJeune, N.C., who was also on last year’steam.“I did OK last year,” said Wicker, who

won the ninth bout on finals night in 2010.“But I’m trying to get gold this year.”Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Antonel

Cruz-Padilla of Naval Health Clinic, Ha-waii, is the only other fighter returningfrom last year’s team.Two years ago, Troy Browning, an avia-

tion boatswain’s mate aircraft handlingseaman onUSSGeorgeH.W. Bush (CVN77) was a bronze medalist at the ArmedForces Championships and a silver med-alist at the Navy Box-Off.Carbajal is eager to see Browning in the

ring, as well as the super heavyweightfighter, Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Fuels2ndClassDonnellDavis, stationed atNor-folk. This is Davis’ first Navy camp; he’sbeen boxing about two years and has arecord of 3-1.“It feels really good,”he said of the camp.

Sea Cadets go through a uniform inspection during one of last year’sactivities at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.

The cadets and staff of the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps(NSCC), Ben Moreell Battalion, are celebrating the 40th an-niversary of the unit’s commissioning.The original crew of the unit, which was commissioned on

Jan. 27, 1971, included seven adult leaders and 34 cadets, led byretired Cmdr. Billus Whitworth.Adm. Ben Moreell attended the commission ceremony.Over the past 40 years, hundreds of cadets have learned about

the Navy and Seabees as part of the Ben Moreell Battalion.“It is a great honor to be a part of a unit with such great his-

tory as this battalion,” said Lt. j.g. Randy Owen, NSCC, thebattalion’s commanding officer. “BenMoreell Battalion was thefirst Sea Cadet Seabee battalion, and I am very proud and hum-bled to be a part of its history.”The cadets also celebrated the first anniversary of the battal-

ion’s sister unit, Training Ship Nicholas H. Anderson, whichwas commissioned last January.“The training ship is a Navy League cadet unit for cadets age

10 to 13,” Owen said. “Most cadets continue on in the Sea Ca-dets, as part of the Ben Moreell Battalion, when they turn14.”Owen said the strength of the Sea Cadets lies in the opportu-

nities available through the program.“Cadets have a chance to take part in one- or two-week sum-

mer trainings, including ‘boot camp,’ seamanship training,aviation training, Seabee construction and field training andleadership training,” Owen explained. “They learn a lot andhave a whole lot of fun too!”The Sea Cadets is open to all U.S. citizens, ages 10 to 18, who

are interested in learning more about the Navy as well as theother sea services.“We are always looking for new recruits as well as additional

adult volunteers, said Owen.Prospective cadets and adult volunteers who would like more

When you’re a parent, especially one inthe military who moves around a lot,you’ve got a lot of questions.Which fast-food restaurant has the best

play area? Who has the best after-schoolactivities?What local park is themost fun?Where’s the best place to have a picnic?But when you’re the parent of an excep-

tional family member — a daughter withDown syndrome, perhaps, or a son withautism — you have questions that drawonly a blank stare as a response.Who offers the best behavioral therapy?

Who’s the best doctor in town for bipolardisorder? Which school has the best spe-cial education program? Does anyonearound here provide adult day care?And if you think those are tough, try

adding the name of a foreign country witha Navy base after each question.TheExceptionalFamilyMember (EFM)

parent support network was created justfor these parents. Formerly called the Spe-cial Parent Network, it meets monthlyunder the auspices of the Fleet and Fam-ily Support Center, specifically Jayne Bur-gess, the newly appointed EFM liaison forNaval Base Ventura County.On a recent morning, half a dozen par-

ents — in this case, all mothers — spentabout an hour swapping advice and tellingtheir stories, from coping with a diagnosisto their latest battles with insurance. Onemom told how she was able to make baseaccess easier for in-home therapists.“Every time we move we start from

scratch,” said support network memberClaudiaMosquera. She and her husband,Lt. ElkinMosquera of NavalMobile Con-

struction Battalion 40, have a 5-year-olddaughter with special needs. “Here, thereare people who’ve already figured thingsout. It feels good to have other parents Ican go to.”Burgess said 11 percent of Navy families

are enrolled in the EFM program, which

is designed to help Sailors progress in theircareers at the same time their family’sneeds are being met.Assistance can range frommaking sure

medical and education needs are takencare of to restrictions on overseas assign-ments.The support network is open to anyone

with an Exceptional Family Member inthe local military community. This in-cludes not only active duty families, butretired and reserve families as well.Burgess sees her role in the group as a

facilitator. The real leaders are moms likeAndrea Olson, whose husband, Builder3rd Class Larry Olson, is in PublicWorks.They have three children, all of whomhavebeen diagnosed with autism.Olson attends nearly every EFM sup-

port network meeting, and the other par-ents consider her a “go-to” parent. Mosthave her phone number handy. She hasdeveloped links into Ventura County’sspecial needs community and can answermany questions about special needs ingeneral and autism in particular — andif she doesn’t have an answer, she usuallyknows someone local in the special-needsprofession who does.Burgess is working with support group

By Mason LoweryNFELC public affairs officer

SIMIVALLEY—When Pacific Fleet Seabees deploy,all their logistical needs are met by the Naval FacilitiesExpeditionary Logistics Center (NFELC). Their per-sonal protective equipment is the latest and greatest, andtheir heavy construction equipment is waiting for themwhen they step off a floating pier and arrive at theirfar-off and often dangerous locations. They then spend12 hours a day for the next six months building roadsand airstrips to make military missions possible; or wa-ter wells, hospitals and schools to improve people’slives.But in these harsh environments Seabees find them-

selves in, something is often missing that NFELC can’tprovide: the comforts of home. After a long day drivingarmored bulldozers in a remote village “outside the wire,”tired, dirty Seabees can’t just hop in the shower and goto the store for snacks, DVDs, CDs, batteries, personalcare items and magazines.That’s where the volunteers at the nonprofit organiza-

tion For The Troops come in.They recently sent their 30,000th care package to de-

ployed service members and have no intentions of stop-ping. Theirs is a year-round effort; it’s not just a holidayactivity.“I co-founded For The Troops with my friend Janie

Josephson to show our appreciation to all service mem-bers. They sacrifice on a daily basis so we are free in thiscountry,” said Paula Cornell. “Thank you to all servicemembers and especially their families because they havethe hard job.”

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 5 recently returned from Afghanistan, wherethey helped expand infrastructures, from building livingand working stations on Camp Leatherneck to improv-ing outposts and roads outside camp.Many of them fondly remember receiving care pack-

ages from For The Troops.“We receive e-mails, thank you letters and pictures

from deployed troops telling us they’re thankful for ourcare packages. Some of them stop by when they return,”Cornell said.A Seabee from NMCB 5, Builder 3rd Class Jennifer

Ireland, said the care packages she and her fellow Seabeesreceived in Afghanistan helped them get through thedeployment.

“The packages were really awesome. They make youfeel appreciated and that people back home really arethinking of you. The whole office got really excited whenwe got a package — all standing around the table toopen it,” she said.Yeoman Seaman Joseph Pollema, NMCB 5, echoed

Ireland’s fond memories and thanked the volunteers atFor The Troops for the care packages.“I thank them for their invested time, money and effort

to think of us all and send us much-appreciated pack-ages,” he said. “I want to let them know we appreciatethem just as much.”31st SeabeeReadinessGroupCommander andNFLEC

Commanding Officer Capt. John Korka recognizes thevalue of the services the volunteers provide.“I really appreciate the support the volunteers at For

The Troops give to our deployed Seabees, and I knowthey do too.Getting a care packagewhile you’re deployedis a great feeling. Even something as simple as a pair ofnew, clean socks can brighten a deployed Seabee’s day.This is a great organization, and I encourage everyoneto donate them some time and help them pack someboxes destined for a deployed Seabee or service member.I personally have brought my children there to help outand it was a rewarding experience for them that hope-fully taught them the value of volunteering and giv-ing.”For information on how to contribute time, supplies

or money to For The Troops, please visit the website atwww.forthetroops.org, or call or e-mail co-founderPaula Cornell at 805-306-0830, [email protected].

For The Troops brings smiles to Seabees all year long

Seabees in Afghanistan pose with their shipments from Forthe Troops, based in Simi Valley.

moral courage. Some people say go big orgo home … that was Courtney. If mostpeople in life are black bears, she was aGrizzly.”Many Seabees, friends and co-workers

offered stories andmemories to reflect onBombardo’s life. She was known as some-one who would tell it like it was, and shealways helped friends or even strangers inneed.“She wanted people to be happy. She

was selfless,” said ConstructionMechan-ic 2nd Class Timothy Overholser, Bom-bardo’s roommate. “She would randomlyhelp people and that’s just the type of per-son she was. She was my friend.”Her riding group, the Pacific Coast Rid-

ers, whom she’d rode with earlier duringthe day of the accident, stood up as agroup and took turns speaking aboutBombardo.Other friends and familymem-bers spoke as well.Jessica Maddin, founder of Jessica’s

Hope Project, an organization that sends

care packages to servicemembersabroad, met Bombardo only once, butshe made an impression.“Of the 313 care packages I sent over-

seas for Jessica’s Hope Project, Court-ney Bombardo was the only person whowrote me, thanked me and acknowl-edged the loss of my friend that I start-ed the project for,”Maddin said througha flood of tears. “I took her to lunchlast Friday to thank her and I knew shewas the type of person you would befriends with for life.”Bombardo deployed in support of

both Operations Iraqi Freedom andEnduring Freedom. She received boththe Navy and Army CommendationMedals. A native of Minnesota, she was22 years old.In Bombardo’s honor, Maddin is

starting a new organization called BamBam’s Feast, taken from Bombardo’snickname. The nonprofit program willwork to help those in need of food.For more information, call 626-641-

Michael Teates of the Naval Facilities Engineering Service Center, gets ready to chuck a snowball during the Jan. 15 Winter Wonderland at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.

By Andrea HowryLighthouse editor

Temperatures in the 70s and 40 tons of snow brought a record crowd to the 10th annual Winter Wonderland at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, on Saturday, Jan. 15.

Amber Melendez, Port Hueneme youth direc-tor, estimated the crowd at 1,500.

“We’ve never had this many people before,” she said. “What a fantastic turnout!”

Electrician Technician 1st Class Jeff Click of Air Operations, Point Mugu, grew up in St. Louis and was eager to watch his son, Kody, play in the snow.

“I’m used to 20-below and snow,” he said. “Seventy-five and snow? I can do that!”

This year, organizers piled the snow into two

areas. A 30-ton pile was cordoned off for big-ger kids, and 10 tons was reserved for young-sters 5 and younger.

Another change this year was the addition of Mad Science. Bob Hoover, who’s with the Los Angeles-based company, put on a 45-min-ute presentation dealing with different scien-tific phenomena, from whether balloons filled with different gases will pop or explode when held over a flame to rocketry.

“The whole idea is to spark the imagination and get kids excited about science,” Hoover said. “It’s designed for kids to have fun and learn something at the same time.”

This was the first time an actual show was included as part of Winter Wonderland, and Hoover drew a large crowd.

There was also a DJ this year.Home Depot was back with a flowerpot table,

where youngsters could paint a flowerpot and plant a flower in it to take home.

The marshmallow-roasting area was also back, although most people were wearing T-shirts and standing back from the flames, not huddling around trying to stay warm.

There were all kinds of beanbag games and craft tables to keep the youngsters busy from 3 p.m. until the event ended at 7 p.m.

“It was fantastic,” said Laura Hanson, a vic-tim advocate with the Fleet and Family Support Center who came with her children and her sister, Katie Murphy of Colorado. “We were blown away.”

Bob Hoover shows a child pulled from the audience how different gases react to heat during his Mad Science of Los Angeles presentation. It was the first time in its 10-year history that Winter Wonderland had included a stage show, and organizer Amber Melendez called it a huge success. About 100 children gathered in front of the stage to watch.

Zach Gomez, 15, shows his 12-year-old brother, Daniel, how to roast marshmallows, although by the looks of it, Daniel doesn’t need any help. The boys are the sons of Marciela and James Gomez, who works at Point Mugu.

The annual Year-to-Year Run, a nighttime event at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu, that begins seconds before the start of the new year, drew 164 people on New Year’s Eve.

Coming in first at the last Morale, Welfare and Recreation event of 2010 was Pablo Gallegos, 29, of Ox-nard.

Gallegos, who finished the race in 17 minutes, 9 seconds, is a track and field and cross-country coach at Hueneme High School.

Gallegos said it was a last-minute decision to run the race. He was in-vited by former Hueneme High ath-lete Cynthia Navarro, who also ran the event.

The next run is the Sweetheart 5k, which will take place Feb. 17 at NBVC Port Hueneme.

another screening because “we need todouble-check something.”The washer stopped working, and the

dog threw up on the carpet.What’s a problem to the spouse atNaval

Base Ventura County may not seem likea problem to the maintenance technicianwho’s on an aircraft carrier in the middleof the Persian Gulf or to the Seabee inAfghanistan who’s helping build a baseoutside the safe confines of Camp Leath-erneck.And that can lead to some very real

problems.That’s where FOCUS comes in.Based at the Seabee Chapel at NBVC

Port Hueneme, FOCUS is part of theNavy’s effort to help families gain thestrength and resiliency needed to deal withdeployment.“We help teach the family skills so that

they can develop new tools for the deploy-ment experience,” said Ben Wilson, sitedirector for NBVC.Among those skills are learning to reg-

ulate emotions, solve problems, commu-nicate and set goals — all of which aretaught through family consultations andsmall group training sessions.FOCUS helps families develop a nar-

rative time map — a visual history of adeployment. Experiences at home and ondeployment are charted on a map or aboard game, alongwith the emotions eachfamily member felt that day.“This creates a context for positive com-

munication and openness,” Wilson ex-plained.FOCUS also offers problem-solving

training sessions, in which families statea problem, name a solution and come upwith a collaborative plan to achieve thatsolution.“First of all, it helps everyone acknowl-

edge that a change is needed — and pos-sible,” Wilson said. “Then it creates ashared vision of a goal— a solution. Andit fosters communication is a productiveway rather than having it spiral into neg-ativity.”

FOCUS, which was developed throughUCLA, is in its third year on base, andWilson says attendance at its family train-ing sessions and other events has doubledeach year. A total of 14 bases have theprogram, including installations inHawaiiand Okinawa.“There’s no doubt deployment can cre-

ate stress in a family,” Wilson said.“There’s difficulty adjusting, there arebehavioral issues with kids, there are com-munication breakdowns.We can help withall that.”

The fortification portion of the projectwas initially going to be completed by acivilian contractor, Carter said. However,the contractor estimated a total of threemonths to fill the HESCO barriers anddig the anti-vehicle ditch. Timeliness wascritical, Carter said, because positions hadto be fortified during the winter lull fight-ing season.“The Seabees did it in three weeks!”

Carter said. “This has allowed us to getback to our jobs instead of focusing onsecuring a perimeter.”He called it a “great experience”work-

ing with the Seabees.“We are used to making do with what

we have, and the ‘Bees have built thingsfor us that we did not even think of tomake our lives and our work easier,” saidCarter.Kroll said the newly fortified COP will

“This training is very valuable,” saidElectronics Technician 2nd Class DannyGoulart, a six-year veteran of the CoastGuard. “In fact, we are heading out to-morrow to do an evaluation shoot usingthe exact same equipment on our ship.”Goulart is referring to theGunWeapon

System MK 48 MOD 0 and Gun Com-puter System MK 160 MOD 12 (CoastGuard configuration) operation andmain-tenance training that he and six otherGuardians received in mid-Novemberfrom Byron Fordham, a Naval SurfaceWarfare Center (NSWC) Port Huenemeinstructor and training coordinator.Other NSWC Port Hueneme personnel

involved in supporting the training in-cluded systems engineers Howard Wang,Pete Meschke, Daniel Dong, MichaelMosley andMarshall Rice, with technicaldata support from Rebecca Wilson.

The Gun Weapon System MK 48MOD 0 and the Gun Computer SystemMK 160 MOD 12 are installed as partof the Gun Fire Control System onWMSL-750 class Coast Guard ships.According to Fordham, this was the firsttraining of its kind to be provided atPort Hueneme.“Other Coast Guard courses have been

taught in the past, but not at this loca-tion,” he said.He had this to say about future class-

es at Port Hueneme:

“These courses will continue to betaught at Port Hueneme until the CoastGuard establishes a permanent opera-tion and maintenance training locationwith these exact system specifications,”said Fordham.Electronics Technician 3rd Class Tim

Okeson summed up his training experi-ence by saying, “the training here is asgood as it can get without being onboardthe ship.”“We simulate everything here.,” he

added.

From CNIC Public AffairsWASHINGTON — Tragedies such as

Hurricane Katrina and shootings at Vir-ginia Tech and Fort Hood clearly demon-strate that being able to put out emer-gency information quickly is vital to thesafety of personnel. Government agencies,educational institutions and private indus-try have taken great strides to developcritical emergency notification methodsto protect life, limb, property and opera-tional capabilities.TheNavy has developed the ShoreWide

Area Alert Network (WAAN) for Sailors,Navy civilians and their families to receiveemergency information no matter wherethey happen to be at the time of the crisis.To receive these emergency notificationswhile away from the workplace, anyoneassigned ashore with anNMCI orOneNet

Computer must register their emergencycontact information on their computer.“In times of natural disasters and crisis

events on our bases, it will be crucial forour Sailors and Navy civilians to receiveinformation updates as well as guidanceon where to go and what to do. Currently,only 20 percent of our population havesigned up for Wide Area Alerts. We needto encourage 100 percent participation byeveryone assigned ashore,” said Vice Ad-miral Michael Vitale, commander, NavyInstallations Command.WAANwas developed to provide Navy

installations with an effective and reliablemass notification system that can be usedduring a crisis to warn affected personnel.The WAAN consists of four subsystems:Computer Desktop Notification System(CDNS), Automated TelephoneNotifica-

tion System (ATNS), Giant Voice (GV)and Interior Voice (IV).CDNS and ATNS have been rolled out

to each NMCI and OneNet user in theform of the AtHoc Self Service client,which starts automatically on computersat startup. Users are automatically reg-istered for CDNS messages when theylog into an NMCI computer via theirCommonAccess Card (CAC). All NMCIusers must manually register their emer-gency contact information via the AtHocSelf Service client in order to receiveWAAN ATNS or e-mail/text notifica-tions.Instructions for adding contact infor-

mation to the WAAN using the AtHocSelf Service client are:1. Right-click on the AtHoc Self Ser-

vice client (Purple Globe) icon in the us-

ers system tray, at the bottom of thecomputer screen.2. Select “Access Self Service” from

the pop up menu.3. The AtHoc Self Service client will

open. Select the “My Info” tab and up-date Last Name, First Name andDisplayName and save. Do not enter PIN infor-mation.4. Select the “Devices” tab and enter

your contact information in the appropri-ate fields and save.5. This completes the registration pro-

cess.For assistance with these instructions

or with technical issues, contact the CNICHelp Desk at 1-888-264-4255 or DSN942-6597.You can also e-mail to https://support-

protest marches.“It took legalism as well as the protest

movement,”Washington said.Legalism, she said, brought about

Brown vs. the Board of Education, thelandmark Supreme Court ruling thatstruck down “separate but equal” school-ing. But it was the protest movement, sheadded, that put integration onto the fasttrack and brought it to fruition.Washington herself is a product of an

all-black school in Texas, and she knewfirst-hand that “separate”was a reality but“equal” was not.“We used texts that had been used for

five years by whites,” she said. “And therewere separate facilities for storingthem.”By high school, her family had moved

to Bakersfield, but her friends who stayedin Texas attended all-black high schoolsthat had no typewriters because officeskills weren’t taught; black teens were ex-pected to go into manual labor, especiallyfieldwork.And in contrast to the all-white schools,

the all-black schools had no indoor toilets,no hot water and no cafeteria.“The kids were uncomfortable, and yet

we came,” she said. “We believed that aneducation would cure all our ills.”In response to a question after her pre-

sentation, Washington said that integra-tion wasn’t the perfect solution.“We lost ground,” she said. “We as a

people lost community.”Teachers didn’t understand black cul-

ture, and many kids found themselveslost.“Some kids just didn’t get it,” she said.

“It takes time to adjust and learn.Minor-ity children enter school at a distinct dis-advantage because no one understands thecultural differences.”Davis, who described King’s contribu-

tions to society in scientific terms, cred-ited King with raising the collective con-sciousness of the human species to criticalmass – the level that’s needed to effectchange.The result, he said, was morphic reso-

nance: Change occurred in one place, thenin another, then everywhere, all with noapparent link.

King, Davis said, “contributed anextraordinary amount,” and the humanspecies found itself “bumping upagainst the cosmic consciousness andGod.”Opening and closing remarks carried

King’s legacy into the present day. Capt.Jim McHugh, commanding officer,NBVC, pointed out that while there ismuch work still to be done for King’sdream to become reality, the Navy isworking hard for that to happen.“Sailors at NBVC have volunteered

as mentors, big brothers and sisters andtutors at our local schools,” he said inhis opening remarks. “We supportyouth organizations whose goals in-clude leadership, service and educa-tion.”And in closing, Timothy Troske, tech-

nical director of NSWC PHD, pointedout King’s achievements helped makeour nation — and our Navy — morediverse and a better reflection of the“tapestry of America.”“We all benefited fromMartin Luther

King, regardless of race, creed or col-or,” he said.In a nod to Davis’ scientific theme,

he added, “The whole is greater thanthe sum of its parts.”
