Catalina Heights, formerly a
1959 military housing develop-
ment in Camarillo that one ex-
resident described as “bomb shel-
ter chic,” officially reopened on
Jan. 27 as a state-of-the-art hous-
ing complex that both military
and civic leaders called a forward-
thinking example of smart
growth.
“This is a ‘green’ development
that’s ahead of the curve,” Ca-
marillo Mayor Kevin Kildee told

as a “tremendous asset to both
the city and military.”
Capt. Jim McHugh, command-

“truly extraordinary.”
“These are not the military
quarters of your father and
grandfather,” he said. “I am both
proud and pleased with this proj-
ect.”
Catalina Heights will feature 32
single-family homes and 283
townhomes upon completion.
About 150 residences are fin-

in in late 2009.

Looking back
26 sites vie for missile range; Mugu wins
Oct. 1, 2010, marks the 10-year anniver-
sary of the establishment of Naval Base
Ventura County, the official date that Na-
val Air Station Point Mugu and Construc-
tion Battalion Center Port Hueneme com-
bined under a single commander.
In recognition of the anniversary, The
Lighthouse is publishing these “Looking

two bases leading up to their unified com-

last 10 years.
• TOWN HALL II: The
As was the case with the Construction
Battalion Center, Port Hueneme, the Na-
val Air Station at Point Mugu had its roots
in World War II — specifically, Nazi Ger-
many’s V-1 buzz bombs and V-2 rockets.
By the time the war was over, U.S. mil-
itary forces had recognized the need for a
better response to the threat those German
weapons posed. It was Capt. Grayson
Merrill, then a commander, who made the
case for establishing a Navy missile test
range.
Twenty-six locations were surveyed as
a possible site for the test range, including
spots in the Caribbean and Baja Califor-
nia — and Point Mugu, where the Seabees
at Port Hueneme had already staked out
some land for training. A Japanese fishing
camp had already been closed, several
temporary structures had been built on
the site and a 5,000-foot Marston mat
runway had been laid.
“The final recommendation of Point
Mugu was based on its inherent advan-
tages: an unobstructed sea test range, off-
shore islands for instrumentation, gener-

How to help when tragedy strikes: Remember the basics
By now we are all aware of the recent
tragedy in Haiti — thousands of lives lost
from the devastating earthquake, and
thousands lacking basic essentials for life
such as clean water, food and shelter.
It’s simply heartbreaking to see so many
suffer!
At times like these, even when a close
family member, a close friend or co-work-
er is going through extreme suffering, is
there a right way and a wrong way to re-
spond? How can we be more helpful than
harmful?
For example, in the Christian Scriptures,
in the book of Job (pronounced “Jobe”),
the Bible describes Job as a man who “was
blameless and upright; he feared God and
shunned evil.” In the cosmic discourse
between God and Satan, Satan basically
argues that Job honors and serves God
because God has blessed him with a fam-
ily and all his riches, and that if God were
The Lighthouse
to take all that away from him, Job would
curse him. So in short, Job is put through
an extreme test to see if he would remain
faithful to God even after everything, ex-

NAVFAC sends
power plants, techs
to help in Haiti
Five mobile power plants and six tech-
nicians from the Mobile Utility Support
Equipment (MUSE) division of Naval
Facilities Expeditionary Logistics Center
departed Jan. 25 for U.S. Naval Station
Guantanamo Bay (GTMO) to support
Haiti relief efforts.
The equipment, totaling 7.3 megawatts
of power, will support Naval Facilities
Engineering Command Southeast’s efforts
to provide logistics support for Operation
Unified Response.
“We were able to deploy these assets in
a short period of time because of MUSE’s
ongoing shore power renovation project
using fully integrated power plants,” said
Construction Electrician 1st Class Juan
Aragon, who is in charge of the MUSE
project in GTMO.
At 68,000 pounds, the integrated power
plant is 75 percent lighter than old-style
generator sets and can be shipped inside
a standard 40-by-8-foot ISO container
requiring no special rigging equipment.

Greyhounds, Hawkeyes in Haiti
Sailors and aircrew of VAW-125, VRC-
40, VRC-30 and several other Hawkeye
squadrons deployed to Haiti in support
of the massive relief effort there.
More than 200 personnel and 11 aircraft
from the Hawkeye/Greyhound commu-
nity are supporting the relief efforts in
Haiti while operating from various loca-
tions throughout the region.
Six C-2A Greyhounds — a high wing,
twin-engine cargo carrier-based aircraft
— normally charged with transporting
parts, packages, people and mail to and
from the carriers, are transporting water,
food, medical supplies, and personnel be-
tween U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay
(the closest U.S. base to Haiti) to Port-au-
Prince. The Greyhounds are part of VRC-
40, the Rawhides, based at Naval Station
Norfolk.
An additional two C-2A aircraft from
VRC-30, based in NAS North Island, CA
are supporting USS Carl Vinson (CVN
70) by transporting parts and equipment
from Naval Station Jacksonville to Guan-
tanamo Bay, a critical staging point in the
Haitian humanitarian relief efforts.
In addition to the C-2As, there are three

The Tigertails are providing much-
needed radar, communication and air traf-
fic control services critical to keeping the
helicopters and cargo planes de-conflicted,
facilitating the safe and timely execution
of their critical missions.
Additionally, members of VAW-125 are
on board the Vinson, augmenting air wing
and ship staff to ensure that the much-
needed behind-the -scenes coordination
continue. Cmdr. Miguel Peko, the execu-
tive officer of VAW-125, and a small staff
are acting as a liaison ashore, coordinating
efforts between the Vinson and other
Haiti relief effort sites.
Twenty-one enlisted Sailors from VAW-

What if, while searching the Internet,
you could also help Sailors and Marines
in need and boost charity donations year
round? Internet shopping is becoming
increasingly popular, and even when pur-
chases are not completed on line, consum-
ers tend to research items and prices before
visiting traditional store locations.
GoodSearch.com is a search engine Web
site that donates a portion of its advertis-
ing revenues to the charitable organization
or school the user specifies. GoodSearch

turned by searches conducted through
GoodSearch are as reliable as those con-

want to keep track of how well your char-

The idea behind GoodSearch is to fund
charitable donations through advertising
revenues. While each search only generates
about a penny, it only takes a couple of
searches a day for a 1,000 people to gener-

 ‘Day of action’ commemorates King, black history

From African fashions worn by Nige-
rians and Ugandans to songs from the
civil rights movement, black history came
alive Jan. 20 as Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) hosted a program and lun-
cheon in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King
and African-American/Black History
Month.
More than 200 people braved torrential
rains — “epic weather,” as Capt. Antonio

scribed it in his opening remarks — to
attend the program and luncheon at The

If you don’t know the difference be-
tween a dashiki and a buba, Lowell Pum-
phrey Jr. will set you straight.
Since 1969, Pumphrey has been making
African clothing — dashikis (shirts), bu-
bas (ankle-length dashikis) and agbadas
(four-piece ceremonial outfits) included.
It’s a skill he fashioned into a business in
1983.
Pumphrey, of Camarillo, supplied the
African clothes and their histories for the
Jan. 20 African American/Black History
Month program at Naval Base Ventura
County. He and three models wore styles
from Uganda and Nigeria.
Some of the pieces in Pumphrey’s col-
lection he has sewn himself, others have
been shipped to him from friends in Af-
rica.
It was a Halloween costume contest that
started it all.
“It was 1969, and I had just moved to
Santa Barbara from Oakland,” Pumphrey
said. “I went to the contest as Jimi Hen-
drix, and I won!”
After that, he started researching Afri-

It wasn’t just the speakers who told sto-

At the side of the room, hanging on
display racks, two quilts silently spoke
volumes.

African fashions to the event. The quilt
was made by his grandmother, who passed
away last year at the age of 92. She had
copied the pattern from her grandmother,
making the design well over a century
old.
Draped on the other rack was a still-
unfinished quilt by Loretta Mitchell, who
was at the event to discuss the civil rights
movement. Done in a star pattern, it is
her third quilt, and she’s making it for her
sister.
“My grandmother made us all quilts,
but she died before she could teach me,”
Mitchell explained. “So I’m taking a class
on quilting at Ventura College.”
The quilts helped illustrate a talk by
UTCN Dominique Richardson on the role
quilts played during the time of slavery.
Many believe quilts held secret codes that
were used to help slaves escape.

for example, gave a signal to follow the
direction of the flying geese as they mi-
grated north in the spring. A quilt with a
“wagon wheel” pattern gave a signal to
the slave to pack the items needed to trav-
el by wagon.
Richardson said the idea that quilts held
secret codes for fleeing slaves is far from
certain.
“This is still controversial,” Richardson
explained. “There’s no written proof this
was ever the case.”
But one look at the two quilts hanging
at the side of the room and there’s no ques-
tion: Between the loving stitching and the
carefully thought-out choice of fabrics,
they’re definitely telling a story.

Lt. j.g. Randy Owen, commanding officer of the

“It all begins at home,” he said.
After the ceremony, he described the program as

they’d never be able to do elsewhere.
“Navy ships, submarines, aircraft, an international

 NMCB 3 finishes habitat restoration in Spain
www.TheLighthouseNews.com

By Ensign Jason Kiel
ROTA, Spain – Seabees from Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)
3 recently completed work on a project
that restored a natural spring and habitat
of indigenous turtles found on Naval Sta-
tion Rota, Spain.
The environmental rejuvenation project
was completed at the request of the Span-
ish Navy and through coordination with
the local Public Works Department. Work
included the removal of soil that had been
discarded at the site two years ago, block-
ing flow from the spring and causing
various environmental issues as a result.
The spring and surrounding land served
as home to an indigenous Spanish Paint-
er Turtle, whose habitat was significantly
reduced in size as a result of the hasty
dumpsite selection. There was also a not-
ed decrease in migratory birds using the
spring and its surrounding area as a rest-

lenges the crew faced was the daunting
task of running heavy equipment over the
unstable ground above the spring.
Alfa Company solved that problem by
bringing in soil fill, which was carefully
inspected to ensure its ability to achieve
the required soil stability and load carry-
ing capacity for NMCB 3’s excavating
equipment.
They then used an excavator to remove
the soil that had blocked the spring.
They completed the work in four days,
and thanks to their hard work, the spring
has already shown encouraging signs of
life: The water level has risen to approxi-
mately four feet, allowing plenty of room
for the painter turtle to reclaim its habi-
tat.
The efforts of Walker and other person-
nel involved in the natural spring project
illustrate that carefully planned environ-
mental restoration efforts can make a dif-

ing place on their way to and from Afri-
ca.
“When I first saw the spring site, I
doubted that there had ever been water
there,” said Equipment Operator William
Walker, crew leader for the rejuvenation
project.

in favor of it.
Finally, on Oct. 1, 1946, the Naval Air
Missile Test Center (NAMTC) was offi-
cially established, with Capt. Albert N.
Perkins serving as the first commanding
officer. It was a forerunner of the Pacific
Missile Test Center (PMTC), the first
Navy facility dedicated to the developmen-
tal testing of pilotless aircraft, drones and
guided missiles over an open ocean
range.
The early days weren’t easy. According
to “Days of Challenge,” nearly everything
was in short supply. The book quotes Lt.
Cmdr. Simpson: “We obtained office fur-
niture from nearby bases. Tools and oth-
er supplies came from wherever we could
acquire them.”
The book also states, “Another early
pioneer remembers that a man was de-
tailed to forage for surplus parts using an
old battered truck. He ranged as far as
Sacramento.”
Cmdr. Leon G. Lehrer called Point
Mugu “at first glance, a sorry place.”
“Communciations were also a problem,”
the book states. “There were only a dozen
telephones in the whole center and only
one in the test area. Messengers were dis-
inaccessibility of the area made it ideal for the mission, it made life difficult.
patched for anyone receiving a call.”
But things picked up quickly, and test-
ing continued through 1946, mostly of the
JB-2 Flying Bomb, or LOON. It was the
U.S. version of the German V-1 buzz
bomb.
The Naval Air Station was established
on Aug. 1, 1949, to support the NAMTC
by providing material and service support,
including military personnel administra-
tion, air traffic control and flight line func-
tions.
The Oct. 4, 2006, Lighthouse detailed
the subsequent history of Point Mugu as
part of its 60-year anniversary coverage
of NBVC Point Mugu. Here is part of the
Lighthouse report:
The first major post-war missiles tested
were the Sparrow and Regulus. The first
airborne target hit by an air-launched mis-
sile, Sparrow I, happened in 1952.
In early 1958, the Army transferred
more than 19,000 acres of South Camp
Cooke to the Navy, which became Naval
Missile Facility, Point Arguello; and in
June 1958, Pacific Missile Range was es-
tablished with headquarters at Point
Mugu. PMR became the western member
of the triad of national ranges, including
Atlantic Missile Range and White Sands
Missile Range. The NAMTC became the
PHOTO COURTESY COMMAND HISTORICAL ARCHIVES CENTER
Naval Missile Center on Jan. 7, 1959.
The combined F-14A Tomcat/Phoenix
would prove to be one of Point Mugu’s
most significant contributions to naval
aviation. In the ‘70s, new computers and
software helped make new weapon sys-
tems more effective. The F-14 System In-
tegration Test Station Lab became opera-
tional in 1971. It was a complex
performance simulator built around an
F-14 fuselage containing a full suite of
avionics, fire control and electronic war-
fare systems. It was unique at the time and
was instrumental in NMC becoming the
Software Support Activity for the F-
14A.
The NMC and PMR were disestablished
and formed into the Pacific Missile Test
Center on April 26, 1975. Weapons sys-
tems at this time included the Harpoon,
Tomahawk, Standard Missile, Aegis and
Trident. In the 1980s, two major labora-
tories were constructed — the Missile
Systems Evaluation Lab and Electronic
Warfare System Laboratory. Also, the first
launch of a Standoff Land Attack Missile
was made from a PMTC A-6E Intruder
during testing in 1989.

buquerque to form the Naval Air Warfare
Center Weapons Division. The establish-
ment ceremony was held Jan. 2, 1992, and
at the same time Naval Air Station became
Naval Air Weapons Station. This process
helped streamline base functions under
one command to better serve the Navy
using fewer tax dollars.
Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard
Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George Bush and
Bill Clinton have visited Point Mugu dur-
ing their tenure as our commander in
chief.
For 60 years Point Mugu has had an
impact on research, development, test and

VR-55 completes 3-month detachment to Atsugi, Japan
By Lt. Cmdr. Justin Hawkins, VR-55
On Dec. 23, the Minutemen of Fleet
Logistics Support Squadron 55 (VR-55)
recently completed three months of logis-
tics support to U.S. forces in Asia and the
Western Pacific.
Staging out of Naval Air Facility Atsu-
gi, Japan, VR-55 flew 517 flight hours
while transporting more than 360,000
pounds of cargo and 758 passengers to
destinations in Asia and the Western Pa-
cific theater such as Guam, Iwo Jima,
Thailand, Bangladesh, Philippines, Diego
Garcia and South Korea. All of this was
accomplished with just a single forward
deployed aircraft, highlighting the tremen-
dous efforts of those involved.

Deployments such as the squadron’s
most recent overseas detachment provide
its reservists an opportunity to execute
their mandatory annual training require-
ments in an operational environment.
Reservists comprised nearly 45 percent of
the detachment.
Cmdr. Jake Nelson, a VR-55 reservist
who is also a UPS pilot for his civilian job,
says commercial flights are similar to the
C-130.
“They are made to move people and
packages. It’s one type of logistics to an-
other type,” he said. “These missions can
be both dynamic and challenging, yet at
the end of the day it is a very rewarding
experience ensuring both passengers and
cargo are delivered safely and on time

“Tell me Dave, are employers hiring?”
I get that question a lot, and the answer
is yes.
However, since they are quite skittish of
who they add to their payroll, some are tak-
ing steps to “weed out” those who may not
have, shall we say, “long-term potential.”
More employers are using a staffing agen-
cy, which often times incorporates a proba-
tion period to the new position. This usu-
ally lasts for 90 days and gives the boss a
chance to observe new employees under
various situations to see who can cut the
mustard. To put it another way, those who
are willing to accept tasks that some con-
sider to be beneath them are setting them-

employers can be stingy, so it’s OK if your

willing to work to get there.

Super Bowl Sunday is one of America’s
biggest and most entertaining national
sporting events as friends and families
gather to socialize and watch the big game.
Yet, it has also become one of the nation’s
most dangerous days on the roadways due
to impaired driving.
According to research by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
in 2008, fatalities in alcohol-impaired-
driving crashes accounted for 32 percent
of all motor vehicle traffic fatalities.
On Super Bowl Sunday of that year
(Feb. 3 to 5:59 a.m. Feb. 4), 49 percent of

Navy awards multimillion-dollar energy savings contracts

$76 million will go to improving efficiency and renewable energy sources without government investment
The Department of the Navy’s En-
ergy Savings Performance Contracts
(ESPC) Team has awarded $76 million
in energy contracts for eight naval in-
stallations for essential energy improve-
ments and energy cost savings.
The awards provide 25 percent of the
Navy’s annual energy reduction require-
ments, include the Navy’s first landfill
gas conversion project and support the
president’s agenda fostering a green en-
ergy economy.
The projects were recently awarded by
the Naval Facilities Engineering Service
Center (NAVFAC ESC) in conjunction
with the Specialty Center Acquisitions,
NAVFAC (SCAN) in cooperation with
the following installations: MCLB Al-
bany; Portsmouth Naval Shipyard; Na-
val Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort

tional energy conservation measures and
innovative renewable technologies, in-
cluding the Navy’s first landfill gas co-
generation project, a partnership with
the city of Albany, Ga.
These contracts reduce the Navy’s
energy and water use and will pay for
themselves by avoiding more than $176
million in energy costs over life of the
contracts. The avoided costs will be used
to repay contractor investments in en-
ergy infrastructure on Navy installations
and pay for performance guarantees
provided by the following corporations

This scholarship is open to any qualified student graduating

member assigned to Naval Base Ventura County.
Three individual $1,000 scholarships will be awarded this
year.

One of the materials needed includes an essay

service members who died while on active duty,
or survivors of individuals who died while receiv-

Eligibility is determined using DEERS, the

well as their sponsor, are enrolled in DEERS
and have a current ID card.
An applicant must be planning to attend, or
already be attending, an accredited college or
university full time in the fall of 2010, or be
enrolled in a program of studies designed to
transfer directly into a four-year program.
