Nearly twice as many people as
last year have volunteered to pre-
pare 2011 taxes for Naval Base Ven-
tura Countys active-duty and re-
tired military personnel at no
charge, but even with that, the one-
on-one service might not be back
next year, officials say.
There is new guidance this year
mandating that any base tax centers
in the continental United States
need to be self-help centers, ex-
plained Lt. Garrett Snow, officer-
in-charge of the Navy Legal Service
Office (NLSO) at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC). We were
granted a waiver for this year, and
we will try for one next year as
well.
Snow said the self-help centers
arent as bare as they sound. He
said they consist of a bank of com-
puters and one volunteer for every
three to five clients.
There are roving volunteers who
are available to answer questions,
Snow said. But it is nonetheless
different than having someone
working one-on-one with an indi-
vidual, actually doing the tax re-

Where are the dog parks?
Question: At a town hall meeting nearly a year
ago, you said dog parks would be built at both Point
Mugu and Port Hueneme? What happened to those
plans?
Answer: Im happy to report that the fenced-in,
leash-free dog park at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Point Mugu, is currently under construction
and is expected to be completed at the end of Febru-
ary. As soon as it is nished, work will begin on the
one at NBVC Port Hueneme.
The Mugu park is bordered by Main Road and
Sidewinder Avenue, with the entrance at the end of,
appropriately enough, Terrier Drive.
The Hueneme park will be bordered by Bard
Lane, Goodspeed Street and Coats Street.
Both parks will have separate areas for small
dogs those less than 20 pounds and large dogs.
Rules are the same at both parks. They include:
Hours are dawn to dusk.
Handlers must be 14 or older and must remain
with the dog at all times.
Puppies younger than 4 months are not per-
mitted, nor are dogs that are in heat, pregnant or
lactating.
Handlers may not bring in more than two dogs
at any one time.
Handlers must clean up after their dogs; re-
ceptacles will be provided.
Pet treats and food are not allowed.
The dog parks will be maintained by Morale,
Welfare and Recreation.
With two Labradors in our family, I personally
have high hopes for these projects. I am condent
that dog owners and their best friends will
follow the rules and work to maintain these two
parks so they can be enjoyed for many years to
come. w

Its not too late to enter Naval Base Ven-
tura Countys Biggest Loser contest.
Initial weigh-ins were Monday, Jan. 23,
but new contestants can still weigh in on
Monday, Jan. 30, or Monday, Feb. 6.
Weigh-in times are 7:30 a.m. or 6 p.m. at
the Bee-Fit Health and Wellness Center
across from the Seabreeze Aquatics Cen-
ter, Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC),
Port Hueneme. Weigh-ins will also be done
at 7:30 a.m. Mondays at the Mugu
Gym.
The program runs 15 weeks, with the
final weigh-in scheduled for 6 p.m. May
14. The initial fee is $50 and includes eight
nutrition classes. After that, every Monday
weigh-in is $1, and the weigh-ins are man-
datory. The one exception is Feb. 20, the
Presidents Day holiday.
At each Monday weigh-in, contestants
will be charged an additional $1 for each
pound gained or $1 if they remain the
same. Theres no additional fee if they lose
weight. A missed weigh-in is $2.
Lost weight is tracked as a percentage
of the initial weigh-in. For example, some-
one who weighs 200 at the initial weigh-in
and 198 the next week will have lost 1 per-
cent of his weight. Someone who weighs
140 at the initial weigh-in and 138 the next
week will have lost 1.43 percent, putting
that person ahead even though both lost
2 pounds.
Doing it by percentage evens the play-
ing field,explained Ramona Pagel, direc-
tor of the Bee-Fit and coordinator of the
Biggest Loser program. Five pounds for
someone who is 50 pounds overweight

More than 30 companies looking to hire
new employees will be at the Feb. 2 Job
Fair, the first to be held at Dukes at Naval
Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.
Previous job fairs have been held at the
Fleet and Family Support Center
(FFSC).
We needed more room, said Carrie
Malpica, transition coordinator at the
FFSC and one of the organizers of the
first job fair of the year. This will make
it much more comfortable for both the
employers and the job seekers.
The Feb. 2 Job Fair will run from9 a.m.
to 1 p.m. It is open to anyone with base
access, including military spouses and ac-
tive duty personnel who are preparing to
transition out of the military.
Awide range of companies will be rep-
resented, Malpica said.
She offered two words of advice for job
seekers who plan to attend: Bring a re-
sume, and dress for success.
A job fair is a great way to network
with potential employers who are hiring,
she said.

Nothing says thank you like homemade
brownies and a chocolate chip cookie.
Those treats, plus salads and hot entrees,
made for some warm appreciation for the
Seabees who have been helping at Las Po-

the last two years.
The potluck dinner in the schools multi-
purpose roomon Wednesday, Jan. 18, was
to recognize the ongoing partnership be-
tween Las Posas and the Naval Construc-

Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, said
Principal James Martinez.
In addition to Seabee Buddiesvolun-

tinez said.
Theyre always present on campus,
finding solutions to whatever the school
needs, he said.
Las Posas Elementary is next to Cata-
lina Heights, a 315-unit military housing
development that reopened two years ago
after the half-century-old complex was
razed and rebuilt. Martinez said that when
he became principal in 2009, the school
had about 330 students. Today, there are

Did you ever sing a little song when you
were young that went like this:
Make new friends, but keep the old,
One is silver and the other gold.
A few months ago I started humming
this jingle, which led to a look at the lyr-
ics.
Make new friends. Hmmm. That
sounds a little like strong encouragement,
just shy of a command.
During the last few months Ive reas-
sessed my relationships. Being sick pro-
vides time to ponder many things. I think
I took the strong, independent military
wife thing to extreme. I became a bit of
an island.
Oh sure, I have friends all over the coun-
try. But I have two best friends one in
Washington, D.C., and one in Dallas
and Im in California. My other friends,
I realized, Ive kept at the outer marker,
to use an aeronautical term. They were
never allowed to get closer.
Ladies, I dont know maybe I was just
tired of saying goodbye. Maybe I was lazy,
and it certainly takes work to develop ful-
filling friendships. Maybe I got used to
being alone. Ill let a shrink figure that
part out.
The bottom line is: I didnt make new
close friends.
There are certainly different levels of
friendship. You know there are those
friendships that are surface, like the
mother you sit with at the soccer games
but that is about all you know about her.
Then there are those you share a bit more
of yourself and learn more about. Maybe
it is a co-worker you see daily or a fellow
fund-raising committee member.
But then there are those you will let into
your inner circle. I know you know what
I mean. These are the ones, the select few
that get to see the real condition of your
linen closet and the ring around your toi-
let bowl. They see you at your worst and
you trust them to love you anyway. And
you love themwarts and all!
I recently spoke to a group of military
wives. We did a round table discussion on
the subject of friendship. Does any of this
sound familiar to you?
I dont have time to find that girlfriend
at every new duty station.
The challenge is moving. Its hard to
say goodbye, and frankly, I dont want this
cycle of looking for a local girlfriend only
to say goodbye.
Or, With Facebook I can keep in con-
tact with my friends so I dont feel the need
for local friendship as much.
But friendship is a give and take. We
might not think we need that local sista
(although we do) but we are needed by
others! There are newmoms, newmilitary
spouses, first deployment sisters who need
you. And in reaching out to them, you will
find how much you need them.
In the next edition, Imgoing to tell you
about persistent Debra, the woman who
wouldnt let me keep her at the outer
marker and all that I learned.
In the meantime, make new friends.
They are silver. Keep the old, they are gold
and at todays precious metals prices,
that is great wealth!

Every year around January and Febru-
ary, schools and students begin preparing
for the science fair. If teachers and stu-
dents are preparing for science fair, parents
should be preparing as well.
This is a great opportunity for parents
and children to work together on a poten-
tially fun project. In addition to the ben-
efits of family time, enjoying science can
be equally significant.
Although much of the primary years of
education are spent on reading and writ-
ing, sparking an interest in science is
critical to students. For this reason, your
students participation in a science fair is
important, and here are some reasons why
science is so important:
Kids love science because it engages
their curiosity.
From a very early age, children want to
know how things work. The ever impor-
tant question, Why?is linked to a childs
innate curiosity. As children grow older,
they often lose that inquisitiveness if it
isnt fostered. Children are so often told
what is correct and incorrect. After some
time, they stop asking why and just accept
what theyve been told. Science allows
them to continue to ask why.
When children are naturally curious, it
is the perfect time to get them interested
in science. Science fuels their curiosity,
which provides themideas, skills, resourc-
es and potential future career choices.
Science provides practical tools for un-
derstanding everyday life.
Much of our daily experiences are sci-
ence. Cooking and baking, kicking and
throwing, running and jumping, growing
fruits and vegetables and understanding
new technologies are examples of science
in our everyday lives. Understanding sci-
ence helps kids appreciate and relate to
the world around them.
Today, we rely on science much more
than we did 20 or 30 years ago. Technol-
ogy is science. Innovations in technology
have helped us to communicate with each
other using the Internet, satellites and cell
phones. These advances in technology help
us be more efficient in our everyday lives,
providing us with the practical tools we
need to advance. When we think ahead
to the world our children will be facing as
adults, technology will play a large part
in their everyday lives, and its important
that they be prepared.
Science advances critical thinking, prob-
lem solving and creativity in early learn-
ers.
Allowing students to come up with their
own answer to the ever important, Why?
question allows them to be problem solv-
ers. They must use their own critical think-
ing skills to find and research and answer.
This is the scientific method in the most
natural and simple way. Even if the answer
is not always correct, allowing them to
have the opportunity to consider and an-
swer allows them to think critically and
creatively. Through time and experience,
they will find the correct answer, but not
if they are never allowed to.
Parents, as science fair approaches, find
a way to encourage and support your
child. For science fair project ideas, take
a look at the following websites:
www.sciencebuddies.org
www.sciencefair-projects.org
www.scifair.org
http://www.ipl.org/div/projectguide/
A science fair project does not have to
be complicated and time-consuming. Af-
ter searching the above websites, you will
see that many can be completed in one
evening with products already in the cab-
inets of your home.
For any K-12 education-related questions,
please contact the NBVC school liaison
officer at 989-5211 or monica.james@navy.

A challenge that is common to all mili-
tary members and military families is leav-
ing people we love. We do this repeatedly.
This kind of lifestyle is not easy, but it is
part of our military life.
Like most of us, I have had many such
experiences through the years. Forever
vivid in my memory is the night when I
was departing on deployment and saying
goodbye to my family. My little girl clung
to my leg crying, Dont go, Daddy, dont
go! But I had to. I kissed and held her
tight, told her I loved her very much and
would think of her and pray for every day
until I returned, then I pried apart her grip
and I left. That was hard.
Through the years Ive traveled a lot,
saying goodbye countless times to my
wife and children and people I love, but
for me it never gets easy. My children are
grown now, and my youngest son, who
lives in Virginia, was here for a wonderful
10-day visit over Christmas break, but I
will admit that when he left I choked up
some. Even though I know were both
where we belong, saying goodbye still isnt
easy!
I believe the very best part of saying
goodbye is the joy that will come when
our reunion happens. Whenever we say
goodbye for now,a seed of anticipation
is planted that continues growing until we
are together again. Only those who have
said goodbye could know this kind of
joy!
No matter how long weve been apart
from people we love, when at last we do
reunite, there will inevitably be new reali-
ties to which we must adjust! But its well
worth the effort because reuniting with
those we love is the very best part of com-
ing home, and anticipating such reunions
can bring comfort, encouragement and
motivation along the way.
These principles can also apply to the
hardest goodbyes of all: when death hap-
pens. Loss brings grief, as we dearly miss
our loved ones and long to be with them
again. In I Thessalonians 4, the Apostle
Paul addressed this subject, reminding his
readers of the impact of their faith, that
though we grieve, we do not grieve like
those who have no hope. For people of
faith, the grief and pain of saying goodbye
is real, but our pain is tempered by eternal
hope as we anticipate a future day of joy-
ful reunion.
If you are now apart from people very
dear to you, may the Lord strengthen and
bless you for this season! If along the way
you encounter someone who is dealing
with the difficult challenges of military
separation, let them know you care! And
for those to whomwe have said goodbye
for now, lets keep them in our prayers
and love them from a distance, all the
while anticipating the very best part that
is yet ahead the joy of our reunion!

The president and chief executive officer
of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
(NMCRS) visited Naval Base Ventura
County on Wednesday, Jan. 18, to thank
the local branchs many volunteers and
point out that the hard work they do every
day matters to many.
The thing that hasnt changed in 108
years is that everyone needs help fromtime
to time, said retired Adm. Steve Abbot,
who took the reins of NMCRS in 2003,
the same year Nadine Gamble became the
executive director of the local branch. I
thank everyone who participates here and
helps people.
Nearly two dozen volunteers gathered
in the NMCRS office at Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Port Hueneme, to meet Ab-
bot and help him celebrate the Jan. 23,
1904, founding of the relief society.
Abbot said 2011 was a particularly tu-
multuous year, with several natural disas-
ters and the April threat of a government
shutdown affecting military families.
A lot of Sailors, Marines and their
families werent sure if there would be a
paycheck, Abbot said. We were ready
to provide help and happily didnt have
to.
The Navys chief of personnel had ap-
proachedAbbot, asking if NMCRS would
be able to provide assistance if the govern-
ment did indeed shut down.
I said, We sure can, Abbot said.
That crisis was averted, freeing up the
relief society to focus more attention on
victims of the earthquake and tsunami in
Japan and, in August, Hurricane Irene.
Last year, we provided $50 million in
assistance, Abbot said. We helped
100,000 people.
He said the numbers work out to one
in five Sailors and Marines being helped
by the relief society.
It could be a layette or a visit to the
thrift shop to stretch a budget, or some-
thing much more substantial, he said.
Were small by government standards,
but still, thats a lot.
Abbot was in the Navy for 38 years, with
his last military assignment being deputy
commander in chief of the U.S. European
Command. His many other assignments
included commander of the U.S. Sixth
Fleet; commander, Carrier Group 8; and
commanding officer, USS Theodore Roos-
evelt (CVN-71) during Operation Desert
Storm.
Abbot also served as acting homeland
security advisor to the president.
At Naval Base Ventura County, the
NMCRS operates a thrift shop at Port
Hueneme and offers Budget for Baby
classes, in addition to providing interest-
free loans and immediate cash assistance
for families in need.
For more information on NMCRS or
to volunteer, call 982-4409.

At a recent health fair at Naval
Base Ventura County, Point
Mugu, one of the most popular
stops was a chair massage per-
formed by Sophia Brown.
Now, Browns relaxing rub-
downs are available to anyone
with base access.
Morale, Welfare and Recre-
ation has contracted with Brown
to provide massages by appoint-
ment. She had a softly lit room
upstairs at the Warfield Gym, but
now that the gym is closed for a
nine-month renovation, she has
moved to roomat the nearby Bee-
Fit Health and Wellness Center.
Her one-hour massages are $45
for active duty personnel and $50
for civilians. Thirty-minute and
90-minute sessions are also avail-
able.
Brown has been a massage
therapist for eight years. She at-
tended the Kali Institute for Mas-
sage and Somatic Therapies in
Ventura, where she received more
than 500 hours of training.
Her children, now 21 and 20,
were both athletes growing up,
and she realized that being a mas-
sage therapist would not only
keep her connected to her kids
but could become a profession.
Everybody needs a massage!
she said.
Brown doesnt believe in what
she calls fast-food massage.She
wants her clients to take their
time and relax, to find a way to
connect their body, soul, spirit
and energy.
People here work so hard and
train hard,she said. Theyre out
of state, away from home. They
need the massages the most!
Brown recognizes that not ev-
eryone is comfortable with a mas-
sage, with being touched.
When theyre not relaxed, I
feel like Im not doing my job,
she said. I tell them to give me
one hour, to let me try to give
them a comfortable experience.
Brown was born in Taiwan and
has lived in the United States
since 1983. She lives in Port Hue-
neme, with her husband, Alan.
Her children are college stu-
dents but still come to Mom for
a massage.
I tell them fine, but they have
to do the dishes first, she says
with a laugh.
To set up a massage appoint-
ment, call the Bee-Fit at 982-
5173.
Now theres the rub: Massage therapist now at Bee-Fit

For three decades, Mary Farkas has been studying
how people live with food how they use it and abuse
it, how they change it and how it changes them.
People ask, How do I lose weight? But thats the
wrong question,said Farkas, a registered dietician who
is contracted with Morale, Welfare and Recreation to
advise those with base access on how to improve their
eating habits. They need to ask, What am I doing to
keep the weight on?
People must recognize what behavior they have that
is causing them to keep weight on, and then they must
take ownership of that behavior.
Only then can people begin to change.
Starting Feb. 6, Farkas will teach nutrition classes at
6:30 p.m. Mondays at the Bee-Fit Health and Wellness
Center at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.
Classes are $8 each, or they can be taken in conjunction
with the 15-week Biggest Loser program, which has a
$50 initial fee.
Farkas says that anyone who wants to eat better in
2012 should ask themselves several questions:
How much sugar do I eat?
Young boys, especially, consume huge amounts of
sugar, much of it in energy drinks, she said. I recom-
mend people get rid of all extraneous sugar, even in their
coffee. The only time you need to add sugar to anything
is when youre baking.
What snacks do I eat?
Chances are, youre eating highly refined, highly
salted, highly sugared snacks, Farkas said. That in-
cludes crackers, cookies and chips. All youre doing is
spending a lot of money on something that will only
promote disease. She suggests trying a piece of fresh
fruit, a slice of whole wheat bread with peanut butter or
some nuts instead.
Do I use whole grains?
If youve got some white bread in your pantry, give
it to someone you dont like,Farkas said. Whole grains
cost a little more, but theyre much healthier. Use brown
rice instead of white pasta, whole wheat bread instead
of white.
How many vegetables am I eating each day?
Many people think that if they have a salad, theyre
good, she said. But thats usually lettuce, tomatoes,
cucumbers, bell peppers, celery and onions all the
vegetables that are lowest in fiber and highest in water.
Expand your variety. Eat more beans, beets, peas, carrots
and broccoli.
How much frozen and deli foods do I eat?
Were trading convenience for our long-termhealth,
Farkas said, adding that cooking isnt as difficult or as
time-consuming as many people think.
Farkas earned her bachelors degree in history at Cal-
ifornia State University, Northridge, in 1972, then went
back to school 10 years later for her masters in nutrition
at Tufts University in Massachusetts.
She went into private practice as a registered dietician
in Northern California, and in 1993, she earned a mas-
ters in counseling at the University of San Francisco.
Farkas moved to Ventura County in 2006. She is en-
joying her work with NBVC.
The base is a microcosm of the United States, she
said. The same issues with food are everywhere.

Six Seabees fromNaval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB)
3 and the 31st Seabee Readiness
Group (SRG) saved a family in-
volved in a disastrous wreck on
Highway 101 near Buellton on
Jan. 12.
Equipment Operator 1st Class
(SCW) Frankie Cruz, Construc-
tion Mechanic 2nd Class (SCW)
Michael McCracken and Equip-
ment Operator Constructionman
Clinton Roberts of NMCB 3,
along with Construction Me-
chanic 2nd Class (SCW) Shawn
Legg, Construction Mechanic
2ndClass (SCW) BenjaminMead
and Construction Mechanic 3rd
Class (SCW) James Winters from
the 31SRGoperated a forklift to
keep the wrecked vehicle from
sliding off the bridge while rescue
crews extracted the family of
three.
As the fire department was
cutting the car to get the family
out, it kept on slipping over the
bridge and faced a 100-foot fall,
said McCracken, the forklift op-
erator. I talked to the fire cap-
tain in charge and he was excited
to hear that we had an extend-
able-boomforklift just 200 to 300
feet behind the wreck, and he said
to go get it.
California Highway Patrol Of-
ficer Danny Maher said the Sea-
bees had pulled over to see if they
could help.
They came up, they all got out
and wanted to knowif they could
help maybe with traffic or some-
thing else,Maher said during an
interview with news station
KCOY 12. They had a large
forklift with them that we were
able to obtain and have themuse
so they could support the BMW.
As it was teetering on the side of
the bridge, they supported the
BMW so the fire department
could get in and extricate the par-
ties.
The forklift was being trans-
ported back to Naval Base Ven-
tura County, Port Hueneme, from
Fort Hunter Liggett, where
NMCB 3 had finished an exer-
cise. The Seabees quickly and
safely off-loaded it and brought
it up and stabilized the car so that
the rescue crews could use the
Jaws of Life to extract the moth-
er and her two young children.
The mom and two children
are all alive, and we had a hand
in it, said McCracken. That is
the biggest thing that I got out of
it.
During the interview, Maher
said the family can thank the
quick work of Seabees.
We were just in the right place
at the right time,said McCrack-
en.

NSWC Port Hueneme Command
Communications
Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC)
Port Hueneme paid tribute to the late Rev-
erend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a
special event on Jan. 11 to celebrate his
life and accomplishments.
Coordinated by NSWCPort Huenemes
African American Focus Group (AAFG),
the ceremony highlighted Kings contribu-
tions to the American civil rights move-
ment and commemorated his role in help-
ing to bring about racial equality.
NSWCPort Hueneme Division Techni-
cal Director Tim Troske delivered the
opening remarks, which were in keeping
with the theme for the event, The Dream
Becomes a Reality.
Dr. King devoted his life to freedom
and equality for African Americans,Tro-
ske noted. And with four simple words,
I have a dream, he helped change the
course of history. His impassioned call for
racial equality and an end to discrimina-
tion created a foundation for the diversity
we see today within our communities, the
workplace, this division and the Navy.
The event included a film clip on the
making and unveiling of the Martin Lu-
ther King Memorial in Washington, D.C.,
that took place in October 2011. The event
also featured motivational speaker and
poet Daisy Cotton.
Cotton, who was born in Shreveport,
La., in 1936, moved with her family to
Port Hueneme in 1942, where her father
worked at NSWC Port Hueneme, San
Nicolas Island, during World War II. Cot-
ton made her own historical path as one
of the first African American students to
attend Port Hueneme schools.
After graduating from Ventura High,
Cotton became a student of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC),
an African American civil rights organiza-
tion headed by King, and she traveled
across the country to promote involvement
and solicit civil rights awareness.
Cotton spoke of meeting King and the
thrill of walking side by side with him.
She recalled the historic march on Wash-
ington led by King in 1963 and the setting
for his inspirational I have a dream
speech. 280,000-strong were gathered at
the front of the Lincoln Memorial, Cot-
ton noted before reciting Kings iconic
words to audience members.
At the end of the event, NSWC Port
Huenemes AAFG Chairperson Michael
Gibbons and Troske presented Cotton
with a special plaque. They also honored
Jasmine Watkins, daughter of NSWCPort
Hueneme employee James Watkins, with
a certificate of appreciation for her deliv-
ery of the National Anthem at the begin-
ning of the ceremony.

VAW-116
It has been an exciting month for Yeo-
man 3rd Class Diana Barton of Carrier
Airborne Command and Control Squad-
ron 116s Administration Department.
While her three years stationed at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point
Mugu, may seem a short time, she has
made quite an impression on not only her
commands leadership, but on the nearly
140 Sun Kings she helps on a day-to-day
basis.
As the new year begins, Barton already
has several reasons to celebrate.
Following her recognition in November
as FY11 Blue Jacket of the Year for VAW-
116, Barton turned her focus to reenlist-
ment and deployment, and in early De-
cember, she started her second deployment
with the Sun Kings. On Jan. 1, as the sun
set on the Pacific Ocean, with the wake of
the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in
the background, Barton recited her enlist-
ment oath, reenlisting for five more years
in the U.S. Navy.
This occasion, which is of great sig-
nificance on its own, was followed merely
hours later with the news that she was
named Junior Sailor of the Year for all of
Carrier Air Wing 2. Competing with the
top individuals fromeight different squad-
rons, Barton distinguished herself based
upon her dedication to service, inspira-
tional teamwork and immense disci-
pline.
Receiving an award such as this is a
tremendous honor, says Barton, who is
currently working toward completion of
her degree in criminal justice. Its mo-
ments such as these that let me know my
hard work is greatly appreciated.
Barton is a native of Bradenton, Fla.,
where she was a member of the track and
field and dance teams prior to her high
school graduation in 2006. She wants to
pursue a career as an attorney after acquir-
ing her degree.
She is a tremendous asset to the VAW-
116 team, said Lt. Cmdr. Kerry Maz-
zola, who administered the oath of enlist-
ment to Barton. Sailors such as YN3
Barton are critical to the success of our
mission here. Her people skills, attention
to detail, and just overall motivation to
the squadron make her a vital link in the
Sun King chain.
VAW-116 is scheduled to return to
NBVC Point Mugu from deployment
sometime this year.

Seabees participating in last
months pre-deployment field
training exercise at Army Garri-
son Fort Hunter Liggett imple-
mented a safety awareness pro-
gram that is attributed to
eliminating all moderate toserious
injuries during the exercise.
Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion 3 called the program
STAR, an acronym for Stop,
Think, Act and Review. It was
described to Seabees this way:
Stop is the simple process of stop-
ping before you performany task.
Once stopped, this will give you
an opportunity to think about
what you are about to do. Next,
you will act on the task at hand
andthenreviewwhat youhave just
done. If you follow this simple
process, then the likelihood of a
careless mistake resulting in a mis-
hap and potential injury is greatly
reduced. If the controls work, then
pass on the information, and if
they do not work, then you will
have more informationwithwhich
to build in better controls and pre-
vent mishaps in the future.
Historically during FTX we
have more than 10 accidents to
include vehicle mishaps, burns and
lacerations,saidChief Steelwork-
er Anthony Cardona, NMCB 3s
safety officer. This FTXwe have
had no personal injuries. That is
something that has never hap-
pened.
In order to keep the concept
fresh for everyone, all hands wore
white inch-sized stars on their
vests next to their name tags.
The Safety Star triggers your
memory through a visual cue and
helps you to remind others to do
the same, said Lt. Cmdr. Gary
Doss, the executive officer of
NMCB3. This was a very simple
process, so people could easily
remember it.
The star on the uniform be-
came a topic of conversation
among the troops,saidLt. Cmdr.
William Wohead, NMCB 3s op-
erations officer. By talking about
the star, it spread the word and
reinforced the concept of what we
wanted to accomplish.
STAR is a safety awareness
tool and does not replace ORM
(Operational Risk Management),
whichis a deliberate planning pro-
cess, said Cardona. Our STAR
programservedits purpose, it gave
us afreshlookat safetyandORM,
while giving the troops simple
tools to use in order to mitigate
risk and focus on the operational
commitment.
Cardona said that for future
deployments and exercises, varia-
tions of the Safety Star awareness
program will be reviewed and
implemented again.
The Safety Star is something
that is temporary, simple, remov-
able and seems to work best for a
short-term push, Doss said. If
it was permanent it wouldbecome
just another background item.
Therefore, it should be re-empha-
sized before increased risk evolu-
tions.
Inscribed on the Seabee Memo-
rial in Washington, D.C., are the
words: The difficult we do at
once, the impossible takes a bit
longer.
Today, NMCB 3s Safety Star
program made that impossible
happen, Cardona said.

NMCB 3
Thirty-six Seabees from Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 built
a permanent 14-by-23-foot non-standard
timber bridge during last months pre-de-
ployment Field Training Exercise (FTX)
at Fort Hunter Liggett.
This was the first time that NMCB 3
constructed a non-standard permanent
bridge during an FTX, and it proved to
be a technical and tactical challenge.
Before starting construction of the
$25,000 timber bridge, the team had the
challenging task of removing an existing
Bailey bridge, which the Army needed at
another location at Fort Hunter Liggett.
A replacement bridge was designed by
Naval Facilities Engineering Command
(NAVFAC) Pacific.
With pieces of the Bailey bridge weigh-
ing upwards of 500 pounds, and working
in tight quarters, the small group of Sea-
bees had to resort to physical strength and
teamwork.
The project had a few challenges we
had to overcome, said Builder 1st Class
(SCW) Andrew Wilson, the details op-
erations petty officer. It was tough to
construct a quality project while keeping
everyone safe and staying tactically ready
at all times.
Throughout construction, the Seabees
were faced with various tactical scenarios
that forced them to halt construction and
maintain defensive postures.
One of the scenarios involved an attack
using a chemical agent. The detail had to
quickly respond by outfitting themselves
in their chemical protective gear and gas
masks and then defend their project site.
The scenario also required the battalions
Chemical, Biological and Radiological
team to travel to the site, test the area,
pronounce the site clear of any lingering
chemical agents and perform decontami-
nation procedures.
Despite the challenges, the Seabees of
NMCB 3 safely completed the project on
schedule.
The project crew worked hard to keep
the project running smoothly,said Build-
er Constructionman Jacob Thacker. Our
crew wasnt very large, and everyone
worked together to keep things running
smooth to get the job done.
This non-standard heavy timber bridge
project was a perfect example of the Sea-
bees construction skills. The challenge of
doing this type of construction while
maintaining a tactical posture in a remote
environment truly demonstrated the
unique capabilities of the Naval Construc-
tion Force.
The team excelled in every way and
never lost motivation despite the numerous
challenges they faced,said Lt. John Mur-
phy, the details officer in charge.
From the very beginning the project
team had its fair share of technical chal-
lenges that forced them to come up with
creative solutions in the field.
Several Field Adjustment Requests
(FARs) were submitted due to inconsisten-
cies with plans and actual site conditions.
Each field adjustment required the quick
thinking of the team in order to stay on
schedule and prevent the project from
coming to a halt.
The first field adjustment required the
project team to add two additional string-
ers and widen the bridge three feet from
the original design. This was due to the
existing bridge abutments being wider than
depicted in the plans.
Additional field adjustments were made
once the existing abutment caps were ex-
posed and removed. The team discovered
that the existing abutments had a lip that
was not depicted on the plans. This un-
foreseen condition forced the Seabees to
develop an abutment cap design that could
work using existing materials without risk-
ing the structural integrity of the bridge.
This was a true engineering challenge that
highlighted the can do spirit and the
engineering capability that sets Seabees
apart from other military construction
units. Asolution was developed in the field
and FAR was submitted requesting ap-
proval for the modification.
Motivation and teamwork were essential
for the teams success. The Seabees worked
long hours in demanding conditions and
never lost motivation or focus. When put
into remote locations, Seabees have to rely
on the most basic tools, like chainsaws and
sledgehammers, to complete their most
technical projects.
The crew removed the existing Bailey
bridge and constructed a non-standard
timber bridge in its place in six days with
zero safety mishaps.

Seabees fromNaval Mobile Construction
Battalions (NMCB) 3 and 74 took part in
a training evolutionlast monththat was the
culmination of the efforts of a host of Na-
val Construction Force entities.
The trainingwas primarilytogive NMCB
3 the necessary skills to run an asphalt pav-
ing plant identical to the one the battalion
will be using on its upcoming deployment
to Africa.
NMCB 3s mission calls for building a
runway extension in Africa, so NMCB 74
tookadvantage of the ready asphalt totrain
a paving crew and complete a paving proj-
ect at Port Hueneme.
Naval Facilities Expeditionary Logistics
Command (NFELC), 31st Seabee Readi-
ness Group (31SRG), Center for Seabees
and Facilities Engineering (CSFE), 30th
Naval Construction Regiment (30NCR),
20th Seabee Readiness Group (20SRG),
25th Naval Construction Regiment
(25NCR), Naval Construction Training
Center (NCTC) and1st Naval Construction
Division (1NCD) teamed up to make the
training happen, even providing paving
training to NMCB 74 from Gulfport,
Miss.
The different entities came together on
short notice toprovide the valuable training
on the NOMAD 6.5 Asphalt Plant. The
gigantic plant, provided by NFELC, mixes
sand, gravel and liquid asphalt to produce
up to 125 tons of job-ready asphalt per
hour.
According toBruce Burns, NFELCPrin-
cipal End Itemfor Mineral Products Man-
ager, NFELCstepped in primarily to speed
up the timeline for NMCB 3s training.
Because there is a real-world mission,
we got involved to get NMCB3 some real-
world exposure, he said.
Seabees fromNMCB3 set upthe asphalt
plant in October for familiarization, and
the teamgot to actually mix asphalt in De-
cember. But in mid-December, all of the
Port Hueneme Seabee battalions were de-
ployed or on Field Training Exercises, so
there was a problem: What to do with all
the leftover asphalt from the December
training?
30NCRgenerated a contract with Naval
Base Ventura County to repave a section
of road on Port Hueneme, and the pieces
began to fall in place.
It was a lot of coordination very quick-
ly, but the right people were talking, and
we made it happen, said BUCS (SCW)
William Nesbit, 31SRG operations chief.
To make this happen in three weeks is re-
ally outstanding.
Not onlywill the trainingprepare NMCB
3 Seabees for their deployment, it will help
to preserve a long-standing Seabee skill,
according to EO1 (SCW) Christopher
Brown.
A lot of the guys that have run asphalt
plants are retiring,saidBrown. Nowthese
guys are getting the training to run an as-
phalt plant, revitalizing an old trade.
Asphalt plant skills were dying on the
vine,saidJohnLemmont, Naval Construc-
tion Force Civil Engineering Support
Equipment Program Manager for 1NCD.
Were trying to reinvigorate these skills in
the NCF. This training coming together is
huge. Im really impressed.
NMCB74acquiredvaluable skill training
in the bargain as well.
The crewis getting goodrefresher train-
ing, said EO2 (SCW) Ginny McCargish,
the crewleader for the project. It will make
sure were up to speed and have the skills
to do the job with good results.
While the coordination and cooperation
involvedare impressive, training for the mis-
sion is the bottom line.
Well have the same plant in Kenya, so
we need to know the ins and outs of how
to run it, said CM3 (SCW/EXW) Jacob
Harris of NMCB3. Its going really good
for this being our first time out. We picked
it upreally quick, andwe cangodownthere
and make some asphalt.

The students at the Naval Construction
Training Centers (NCTC) Construction Me-
chanic A School were treated to a visit and
presentation from a pioneer in the field of
mechanics: Gale Banks, president of Banks
Power, based in Azusa.
Banks built his first engine at age 14, begin-
ning with an engine tear-down of his moth-
ers 1931 Ford Model A. The changes he
made resulted in an increase of more than
40 horsepower. Just two years later, in 1958,
Banks was officially in the engine business.
Banks Power is known far and wide as the
premier designer and manufacturer of pow-
er-enhancing products for diesel- and gas-
powered light trucks, motor homes and sport-
utility vehicles.
Since the 1960s, Bankss futuristic high-
performance engines have broken newground
while shattering world records. His marine
engines propelled racing boats to national
and world championships, and in military
mode, his marine engines were chosen to
power U.S. Navy SEAL covert-action boats.
After decades of racing, Banks Power is still
the only company to have set records at
Bonneville in both automobile and truck
classes.
Working with the U.S. Navy, Banks took
time away from his vigorous schedule to see
what training is provided at NCTCPort Hue-
neme for aspiring construction mechanics
(CMs).
I am truly impressed, Banks said after
touring the Construction Mechanic labora-
tories.
CMC (SCW/EXW) Chris Allbright pro-
vided a tour through the diesel labportion
of the ASchool, where Air Force and Navy
students are introduced to diesel engines.
It was great to meet someone who is de-
veloping cutting-edge technology in the field
of mechanics, stated Allbright. I believe
the students have a better sense of purpose
after the Banks Power presentation. Specifi-
cally, they were exposed to a self-made man
who followed his passion and revolutionized
the world of mechanics.Banks holds current
world records in worlds fastest pickup truck
(222 mph) and worlds quickest and fastest
diesel drag truck (7.72 seconds in the quarter
mile traveling at 179 miles per hour).

I work on million-dollar engines. I
never dreamed Id do something so im-
portant.
A few minutes later, Aviation Machin-
ists Mate 2nd Class (AW) Carlos Moore
would impress about 400 students at E.O.
Green Junior High School in Oxnard with
his boxing skills, but right now, he had
them at million-dollar engines.
I grew up in a not-so-good neighbor-
hood, in an orphan home, he told the
hushed crowd. There were a lot of lessons
I learned at your age.
Please, listen to your teachers, your
parents. If they tell you to do the right
thing, do it. I would have stayed out of a
lot of trouble if Id done that.
Today, an older and wiser Moore works
on aircraft engines with Carrier Airborne
Command and Control Squadron 120.
Hes also one of the Navys top boxers.
Moore and several others who com-
peted in the Jan. 21 box-off at Naval Base
Ventura County, Port Hueneme, took a
Wednesday morning off to visit with the
seventh- and eighth-graders, telling them
why they joined the Navy, how they got
to be so good in their sport and what life
lessons worked and didnt work for
them.
Boatswains Mate Seaman Rosemary
Ray was raised in a family that was always
on the move. She lived in eight different
states growing up, making a team sport
nearly impossible.
So I started boxing, she said. Ive
been boxing off and on since I was 14.
Ray is now stationed aboard the USS
Benfold (DDG-65) in San Diego.
Rhonda Mcgee had to prove herself
both inside the ring and out.
Being a girl, my mom didnt want me
to box, she said.
So she enlisted, and today shes not only
a boxer, shes a master at arms 3rd class
at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba.
Im a police officer in the Navy, she
told the class. You can do whatever job
you want, and you can do whatever sport
your want. Maybe you can even do the
Olympics someday.
Three young hopefuls went up against
the boxers after the presentation.
Elijah Sauceda, 13, and 12-year-olds
Rosalinda Zavala and Rebecca Navarrette
put on gloves and sparred with Moore and
Hospital Corpsman Brandon Wicker of
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5.
It was pretty good, Rosalinda said.
Ive only been boxing a month or two,
so it was pretty exciting.

Danny Silva went back to his
old junior high school last week
to share some of his life experi-
ences with todays students
and to thank some of the teach-
ers who made his possible.
The aviation boatswains mate,
aircraft handler airman, along
with the rest of the Navy Boxing
Team, visited Ocean View Ju-
nior High School to talk to the
eighth-graders, just as they had
the week before at E.O. Green
Junior High School.
Silva graduated from Ocean
View in 1998 and moved on to
Channel Islands High. He
joined the Navy three years
ago.
Among the teachers he knew
who are still at the school were
Karla Morton, a math teacher,
her husband George, a history
teacher, and English teacher
LoRena McDougal.
He thanked each one during
the school assembly, held the
day before the Navy Box-Off,
and got loud applause.
I definitely liked this school,
he told the students. All these
teachers were an inspiration to
me and kept me on the right
path. Youre all in the right
place, thats for sure.
Karla Morton remembered
Silva as being a high-energy
kid.
He was squirrely, she said.
But he was always sweet and
very smart, with a good
heart.
McDougal remembered she
always had Silva sit at the front
of the class.
He was always smiling, she
said. He was in with a really
good group of kids.
The Mortons son, Ian, had
played basketball with Silva and
now works for the district. He
walked over to the school from
his office next door and spent a
few minutes catching up on the
past decade.
He was always a gentleman
on and off the court, Ian
said.
Boxer returns to his junior high school
ABHAN Danny Silva visits with former classmate Ian Morton and

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
(Editors note: First of two parts on helping
children cope with military-related issues.)
Nine-year-old Kristy was a lively little
girl described by her parents as loving,
helpful and a great listener.
A few months ago, Kristys mother no-
ticed that her once-happy child had begun
to withdrawfromfriends and spent a great
deal of time at home alone in her room.
When Kristys mother tried to engage her,
Kristy would talk back and refuse to lis-
ten. Kristys behavior at home eventually
leaked into her behavior at school, result-
ing in several notes being sent home from
her teacher and slipping grades.
Many children respond to changes in
their lives as Kristy did. Change is an in-
evitable part of life. Many changes in life
are normal, such as moving, divorce,
graduation and childbirth, to name a few.
Deployments are a unique change faced
by military families.
Any change can result in disrupting the
stability of the family system. Normal
reactions to change can produce a variety
of feelings ranging anywhere from anger
and frustration to sadness and loneli-
ness.
Changes can also result in behavioral
shifts. Children can respond to parental
separations by increased noncompliance,
irritability, nightmares, crying spells and
decreased academic performance. Any
alteration of routine can leave children
feeling insecure and can result in such be-
havioral changes. Oftentimes, children
lack the ability to effectively express them-
selves, looking as though they are simply
misbehaving.
According to the theory of family stress
and adaptation, The ability to effective-
ly adapt to changes is affected by a fami-
lys response to a stressful event, their
resources and the presence or absence of
effective coping strategies(McCubbin &
Patterson 1983). Maintaining consistency
in a childs life can minimize some of the
impact deployment has on the family.
Consistent routines help foster feelings of
safety, resulting in increased compliance
by children. Having regularly scheduled
times to talk to a deployed loved one can
also reduce fears associated with deploy-
ments, although this is not always possi-
ble.
The Fleet and Family Support Center
(FFSC) offers programs to help minimize
stress associated with deployments. Unit-
ed Through Reading is one such program:
The deploying service member is video-
taped reading to their children. Children
are then able to read along with the video
recording throughout the service members
deployment as a means of staying con-
nected.
Another program offered by FFSC is
Military Kids and Teens Clubs, which are
offered as support groups throughout the
year at several nearby schools.
Sometimes seeking counseling may be
necessary if your childs behaviors do not
subside. Seeking counseling does not mean
that you are a bad parent. Sometimes chil-
dren respond to their parents reaction to
stress associated with deployment, result-
ing in noncompliance.
For more information, call the FFSC
at Naval Base Ventura County at 982-
5037.

counselor at the Naval Base Ventura County

Seabees from U.S. Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 40
in Chinhae, Korea, recently delivered
coal briquettes to heat the homes of
low-income families this winter.
U.S. Navy Seabees and Sailors par-
ticipated in the volunteer community
relations project with the South Ko-
rean Community Chest Organization.
They delivered more than 500 bri-
quettes to families in Musan, Repub-
lic of Korea.
It is going to be a very cold winter,
and some people cannot afford to heat
their homes this long,said Kyong H.
Pak. Those who cannot afford to
heat their homes with gas or diesel
still use charcoal briquettes.
Together the team of volunteers
delivered more than 1,000 briquettes
to four different families in the Musan
community. Each family received ap-
proximately 250 coals to heat their
homes for the winter.
Last year, the group delivered a to-
tal of 33,000 briquettes.

CHINHAE, Korea Navy Seabees
fromU.S. Naval Mobile Construction Bat-
talion (NMCB) 40 recently united with
Sailors fromthe Republic of Korea (ROK)
in an all-female community relations proj-
ect
Command Senior Chief Avionics Tech-
nician Christopher Organ, Commander
Fleet Activities Chinhae (CFAC), invited
the women of NMCB 40 to participate in
a team-building event on Nov. 30 orga-
nized and hosted by ROK Navy Master
Chief Yong Jin Lee.
Lee said the event would allow Sailors
to get to know each other on a profes-
sional and personal level with a focus on
having fun.
The Seabees started the day with an in-
troduction to ROK Navy Rear Adm.
Jeong-Ho Shin at their base headquarters
and then embarked on a tour of historical
points of interest, including Gyeongnam
Geosong Dinosaur World Expo park and
the Admiral Yi Sun-Shin temple, honoring
an iconic ROK Navy leader.
The day started off somewhat slowly,
but by lunch the tables were a mix of both
countries, said Organ. There was little
eating and a lot of talking!
The Sailors dined together, sharing sto-
ries and comparing life in the military and
their differences further revealing that
they actually had much in common. Com-
municating was easier with the help of
NMCB 40s Builder Constructionman
SongLim Lee. Originally from Seoul, Ko-
rea, Lee aided in translating and bridging
any communication barrier.
She had outstanding translation skills
and made the event a lot easier on every-
one, Organ said. The Fighting 40 fe-
males had many positive things to say
about the experience.
Equipment Operator 3rd Class Kristina
Trevino said, It was really cool to see how
similar our backgrounds were. We really
learned a lot from each other!
It was a great opportunity getting to
know ROK Navy females and making
friends, said Constructionman Lee.
ROK Navy Master Chief Lee said he
enjoyed the time spent together and that
it was a huge success. Lee said he has plans
to have more social interactions in the near
future, including an opportunity for the
Sailors to physically train together in one
formation.
You all made me very proud, but more
importantly, you impressed our host na-
tion and made some friendships in the
process, said Organ.

isnt a big loss. Five pounds for someone
who just has five pounds to lose faces a
much more difficult challenge.
The person who weighs 140 and just
has to lose a few pounds is probably al-
ready working out and probably has a
higher metabolism already. Theyre going
to hit more plateaus and have a more dif-
ficult time. The person who has more to
lose will see the weight come off more
quickly and more consistently.
The money collected at the weigh-ins
will go into a pot to be divided at the end
of the 15 weeks. The person who has lost
the highest percentage of body weight will
take home 50 percent of the pot. The sec-
ond-place winner will take home 35 per-
cent, and the third-place winner will take
home 15 percent.
The big factor here is motivation, and
money is a great motivator, Pagel said.
They wont be paying big money along
the way, but there could be a big payout
at the end.
At each weigh-in, trainers will be avail-
able to answer questions.
The program includes eight nutrition
classes, which are being taught by Mary
Farkas, the nutritionist for Morale, Wel-
fare and Recreation. Classes are at 6:30
p.m. Mondays, and the first class is Feb.
6. Topics will include: basic eating struc-
ture; knowing when enough is enough;
cooking; metabolic syndrome and inflam-
mation; phytonutrients; digestion and
fermented foods; negative perceptions;
and positive changes.
Those who want to attend a nutrition
class and not take part in the Biggest
Loser program will be charged $8 per
class.
For more information, call Pagel at 982-
4726.

nearly 500, with most of the newstudents
coming from military families.
These students bring a richness to our
campus, he said. They come with a
knowledge of geography many of the
other students dont have. In fifth grade,
theyll be taking about food in different
states, and someone whose parents have
been stationed in the South will bring up
crawdads.
Equipment Operator 2nd Class Sam
Sutheimer is one of the schools Seabee
Buddies.
I like hanging out with the kids, he
said. At least half the class has a parent
whos deployed. Its nice for them to see
someone who looks like their dad. Theyll
say, My dad wears something just like
that! and its nice.
Equipment Operator 2nd Class Ryan
Newman has helped plant tulips and
brought in some of the equipment that
was on display during a recent special
event. As a resident of Catalina Heights,
hes hoping his 3-year-old son, Parker, will
be at Las Posas in a couple of years.
I enjoy being around the kids,he said.
Its a really good thing for us to do.
Kindergartenteacher DeannHiroshima,
whos been at Las Posas for 14 years, said
she appreciates all the help the Seabees
provide.
Plus, its just nice to have themaround,
she said.
The NCTCgave Las Posas a large world
map so each child who has a parent de-
ployed can string a piece of yarn from
California to wherever their parent is.
During the potluck, Kristine Narmore,
whose 8-year-old daughter, Hailey, is a
second grader at the school, helped Mar-
tinez string the first piece. It runs from
California to Masawa, Japan, where her
husband, Air Force Tech Sgt. Michael
Narmore, is on temporary duty.
The maps wooden frame was designed
and carved by the NCTC Seabees.
This partnership is working well for
us,said Lt. Cmdr. Chad Koster, executive
officer of the NCTC. We stay engaged
with the community, and the project con-
tinues to grow.
Las Posas thanks NCTC

NSWC Port Hueneme Command
Communications
Students from local high schools who
participated in the Naval Surface War-
fare Center (NSWC) Port Hueneme fall
2011 Pre-Engineering Program were
awarded with graduation certificates
at the Oxnard Union High School Dis-
trict office on Dec. 12.
The biannual Pre-Engineering Pro-
gram (PEP) originated in 1998 and is an
educational partnership between NSWC
Port Hueneme and local high schools.
It reflects the Navy organizations out-
reach efforts to promote science, technol-
ogy, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) within the academic commu-
nity.
PEPs purpose is to give those inter-
ested in studying engineering the oppor-
tunity to learn how math and science
concepts are used in reality-based sce-
narios.
A total of 25 students took advantage
of the 11-week fall program at NSWC
Port Hueneme, which began on Sept. 19.
Engineers from around the organization
and from the Naval Facilities Engineer-
ing Service Center served as volunteer
instructors.
Students were presented with instruc-
tional sessions in a number of disciplines,
such as ocean engineering, environment
engineering, civil engineering, computer
engineering, fleet support, modeling and
simulation, and missile engineering.
They also experienced demonstrations,
participated in group experiments and
had a chance to tour NSWC Port Hue-
nemes Self Defense Test Ship, which is
used to test combat weapon systems for
the U.S. Navy fleet.
The students who participated were
from Adolfo Camarillo High School,
Channel Islands High School, Hueneme
High School, Oxnard High School, Pa-
cifica High School, Rio Mesa High
School, El Camino High School, Foot-
hill Technology High School and Ven-
tura High School.
NSWC Port Hueneme Commander
Capt. William Bill DeBow spoke at
the PEP graduation, congratulating the
students and commending them for their
efforts.
Its an honor to be here to help cel-
ebrate the wonderful achievements of
these young minds, he said.
NSWC Port Hueneme is a field activ-
ity of Naval Sea Systems Command and
provides the United States Navy global
fleet with weapon system in-service en-
gineering, logistics, and test and evalu-
ation.
NSWC Port Hueneme is located at
Naval Base Ventura County, where it
employs more than 1,900 personnel.

Volunteer tax preparers go through 40
hours of federal tax training and 40 hours
of state tax training. Classes also focus on
military tax issues, client privacy and pro-

turn.
Snow said the Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance program at NBVC Port
Hueneme is an anomaly in the Navy.
Every other installation is experi-
encing more and more difficulty get-
ting volunteers, he said. We are very
fortunate to have far more volunteers
than anywhere else.
This year, 71 people volunteered at
NBVC, up 30 from last year. Twenty
returned from last year.
That number actually enabled us
to extend our hours by half an hour
each day, said Salvador Gonzales, a
legal assistant clerk who has orga-
nized the tax center for the last sev-
eral years.
Snow said that in addition to trying
for a waiver next year, NLSO will also
seek a permanent exception to the
instruction.
He said NLSO has been running a
tax center aboard NBVC for at least
12 years.
We have been extremely happy with
the success of this project through the
years, Snow said. Whatever the rea-
son, the pool of volunteers here in
Ventura County is extremely dedi-
cated. The entire metropolitan area
of San Diego cannot match the level
of dedication we have here.
Moreover, the error rate at NBVC
is extremely low, with errors being
found in less than 5 percent of filed
returns.
Thats pretty impressive, Snow
said. And its one reason why I take
my own taxes there.

Cmdr. JohnRousseau, commanding
officer of VX-30, meets with
astronaut Story Musgrave.
By Lt. A.S. Angelo
VX-30
Astronaut, medical doctor, scientist, pilot
and Renaissance man Story Musgrave vis-
ited Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu,
on Jan. 9 to speak with members of Naval
Test Wing Pacific.
Story spoke for two hours, relating his life
experiences as an example of being the best
one can be. He stressed striving to attain all
you can, but all the while doing it safely, to
ensure you come home at night because that
is what truly is paramount.
Story spoke of his standardizing proce-
dures in the emergency room, his work as an
experimental parachutist discovering the ef-
fects on the human body, his missions to
space and his stunt flying each relating to
a key point of safety and success. The recur-
ring theme was Are you in the game?
Story emphasized one must be fully en-
grossed in the activity one is pursuing
knowing the rules of your trade, learning the
most you can about your field, being a true
professional all in order to ensure success
and a safe return home.
Storys talk was well received, and the mem-
bers of Air Test and Evaluation Squadron
30 (VX-30) were afforded the opportunity to
hear from a true legend.

By Peggy Shoaf
Naval Air Weapons Station
Navy Region Southwest
More than 100 people attended the cer-
emonial groundbreaking of a 13.78-mega-
watt photovoltaic solar plant being built
on 118 acres on board the Naval Air
Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake.
NAWS China Lake Commanding Of-
ficer Jeffrey A. Dodson hosted the event,
which was held at 10 a.m. Jan. 18 at the
construction site under sunny skies.
The plant is the first 20-year power pur-
chase agreement awarded under Federal
Legislation 10 USC 2922a, a long-term
contracting authority mechanism.
SunPower Corporation will construct,
operate and maintain the system and sell
the power to the Navy, while Metropolitan
Life, the financier, will own the system.
Under the agreement, NAWS China
Lake will purchase $80 million to $100
million worth of energy, at a negotiated
price, from SunPower Corp. during the
next 20 years, saving the Navy approxi-
mately $13 million in energy costs with no
start-up costs to the government. It is ex-
pected to provide 30 percent of China
Lakes energy requirements.
When completed in the fall of 2012, the
system will be the largest solar system in
the Navy and the second largest systemin
the Department of Defense. The largest
is at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.
China Lake is an energy heartland for
the state, for the country and for the Navy,
said Assistant Secretary of the Navy (En-
ergy, Installations & Environment) Jack-
alyne Pfannenstiel, referring to Coso
Geothermal, the geothermal plant on base
that produces about 200 megawatts of
base-load power.
However, to meet the Department of
the Navys goal of meeting half of its en-
ergy consumption with alternative sourc-
es by 2012, Pfannenstiel said more renew-
able power fromfertile sites such as China
Lake is still needed.
In fact, she said, the Navy is going to
need to add 800 to 1,200 more megawatts
of renewable capacity to its arsenal.
Pfannenstiel feels it can be done by em-
ploying the best technologies, on the best
sites, with the best partners.
According to Pfannenstiel, the best tech-
nologies are those that provide clean, sus-
tainable, renewable power at prices that
are comparable to utility prices. She not-
ed that the cost of producing energy from
renewable sources has fallen significantly
in recent years, and she predicts it will
continue to fall as technologies continue
to advance.
However, she noted, she hasnt seen any
forecast that shows utility rates decreasing
over the next decade.
Technologies that reduce the need for
energy are also important, Pfannenstiel
stressed.
The cheapest, cleanest, most secure
kilowatt hour is the one we dont need to
use,Pfannenstiel said. Energy efficiency
technologies, as well as renewable tech-
nologies, will help us meet our 50 percent
reduction goals.
Pfannenstiel said the best sites are those
that provide abundant supplies of sun,
wind, biomass or geothermal steam and
are compatible with the military mis-
sions.
We must always be cognizant that some
technologies at some locations are per-
fectly compatible with the military use of
those sites, and others arent, she said.
Having said that, however, I want to
stress that concerns about mission com-
patibility can often be resolved with good
faith efforts by all parties and, to meet our
goals, the Navy must commit to seeking
resolution where possible.
Commander, Navy Region Southwest,
Rear Adm. Dixon Smith said the Navy
has a long-standing record of identifying
energy and water conservation opportuni-
ties.
For many years we have focused on
energy efficiency improvements at every
one of our shore installations, he said.
To meet the many energy challenges now
and in the future, Smith noted that the
Southwest team would continue to focus
on three areas instilling a culture of con-
servation throughout the Navy, a push
toward energy efficiency and increased use
of renewable energy sources, and to ensure
energy security across the regions bases.
We are continuing to transform our
culture from one of consumption to one
focused on conservation, the admiral
said, noting that the Navy is doing this by
sharing data and information with their
Sailors, civilians and senior leadership.

D5 SUNDAY, NOV. 22, 2009 THE STAR
FARMERS MARKET
Anne Kallas / Special to The Star The Moorpark College farmers market had few booths and fewer customers on a recent Saturday, despite closure of the High Street market.
Moorpark vendor
venues are dormant
Two markets just miles apart in Moorpark seemed overly ambitious for a rela- tively small community. Kerry Clasby appar- ently feels the same way, because as of the second week in November, the High Street farmers mar- ket is closed. Im hoping to find a better location, closer to the 118 to draw better crowds, where I can re- open in March, she said. Unfortunately for Moor- park, the farmers market at Moorpark College is
also struggling. On a re- cent Saturday, there were only eight booths offering goods for sale. Callie Vanden-Bossche, reading a book while she waited for customers at the Green Farms booth out of Lompoc, said busi- ness is not very good. Karen Schott of the Ventura County Certified Farmers Market Associa- tion recently announced the Moorpark market was granted an extension to its temporary use permit, keeping it open through the holiday season, which it is hoped will attract shoppers from Thousand
Oaks, where the farmers market is closed for the holidays.

ts not hard to pair some meals with wine. A cabernet sauvignon goes great with a big, juicy steak. A Chianti works with almost any tomato-based Italian dish. Shellfish and chardonnay are made for each other. But what wine do you select for your upcoming Thanks- giving dinner? What wine do you dare try to pair with your Thanksgiving turkey and/ or ham? My answer is a Beaujolais Nouveau from France. Beaujolais Nouveau is a red wine made from the gamay grape in the French region of Burgundy. This is th ly br io in
