Question: My wife and child took an AMC (AirMobility Command) flight with a 17-hour layover onNaval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu. The flightlanded around 9 p.m., and all of the passengers weredropped off by the flightline, with no way to get any-where. I called several cab companies who all saidthat cabs are not allowed on the installation. Thank-fully some of our shipmates working in the area wereable to give my family a ride. I am not sure what wewould have done without them and cannot thankthem enough. I hope there is a way to rectify this forfuture passengers, possibly with a duty driver or ataxi service being allowed on base?
Answer: I regret the confusion during your fami-ly’s recent visit to our installation. The air terminalat Naval Base Ventura County is not an Air MobilityCommand terminal and as such does not provideservices such as buses.Unfortunately, we do not have the funding or
authority to supply government transportation — in-
cluding a duty driver — for transport to and from theterminal for non-duty travelers. I am glad, however,that our shipmates were able to assist your family. Asyou pointed out, walking from the terminal to lodgingis a long walk.Taxis are not barred from our installation, but
they must apply for a RAPIDGate pass. This is not acost the companies have been willing to absorb. I re-gret that this negatively impacted your family’s trip.We will update the air terminal information on
our installation home page as a supplement to AMC’srecommendation to call the air terminal in advancein an effort to reduce this sort of confusion for futuretravelers.Keep the questions and feedback coming! You can
submit via this forum at [email protected], onlineusing the CO’s Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.com/Na-valBaseVenturaCounty. You can also follow us onTwitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia andkeep up on the latest news and events.
Why isn’t there taxi service at the Point Mugu terminal?

People who live and work at Naval BaseVentura County (NBVC) Point Mugu,celebrated the opening of The Hangar, arenovated version of what was formerlyknown as the O-Zone, Friday, March15.“We’re here to serve you,”DeborahWil-
liams, sitemanager for community supportprograms, told the crowd at Friday’s rib-bon-cutting. “I kept hearing some of thethings you wanted to see here, and one ofthem was you wanted a better place tosocialize after work.”Misty Brodsky, whose husband, Aaron,
is the commanding officer of the deployedCarrierAirborneEarlyWarning Squadron(VAW) 112, said participants in themonth-ly Hawkeye Night will appreciate having
a brighter, cleaner place to go.“With the guys being gone, some of us
get together once a month on a Fridaynight,” she said. “This place is a lot bright-er, and it’s been cleaned up a lot. The newbar is absolutely beautiful.”Those who live at NBVCPort Hueneme
have a wide variety of hangouts just out-side the gates, from bars to Italian restau-rants. But the nearest watering hole toNBVC PointMugu is more than 10 milesaway, and the only restaurant on base, TheFlightline, closes at 7 p.m.For now, The Hangar, which is located
in Building 6, within walking distance ofmost base housing, will be open 4:30 to11:30 p.m. Wednesday through Friday,although hours may change depending onusage. It is also available for specialevents.
Morale,Welfare andRecreation (MWR)held a contest for the name change andended up with 40 entries. “The Hangar”was submitted by Christine Page, a secre-tary at Naval SurfaceWarfare Center PortHueneme Division who said she was in-spired by her years at Selfridge Air Na-tional Guard Base in Michigan.“There, all our functions were held in
the hangars on base,” she said.Page was there from 2003 to 2009, when
she came to California.For now, TheHangar has a limited selec-
tion of snacks and sandwiches, butMWRis looking into the possibility of workingwith The Flightline to share a menu andof having a “grill your own” service.For information on using The Hangar
for a special event, call JessicaMaheux at805-982-5293.

Naval Construction Group (NCG) 1was established during a historic ceremo-ny March 11 that integrated two Seabeecommands at Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty (NBVC) Port Hueneme.The 31st Seabee Readiness Group (31st
SRG), responsible for training, equippingand maintaining the readiness of the Pa-cific Naval Construction Force, and the30th Naval Construction Regiment(30NCR), responsible for operationalcommand and control of the Pacific-de-ployedNaval Construction Force, mergedto create NCG 1.“This is not just a name change,” said
Capt. Dean Tufts, commander of NCG1. “It’s an organizational shift tomaximizeour Seabee readiness and create an evenstronger unity of command on the WestCoast and into the Pacific.”Tufts, who will serve as the first com-
mander of NCG1, explained that the bestof the West for Seabee training, logisticsand operations would now be integrat-ed.While both 30NCR and 31st SRG cur-
rently oversee a total of about 3,000 activeduty and reserve military as well as civil-ians, NCG 1 will oversee 7,000 personnelstarting in April. The total includes all
Seabees in the Western two-thirds of theUnited States, as well as all of the NavalConstruction Forces in the Pacific.The new command will be the sister
command to NCG 2, which established acouple of weeks earlier in Gulfport, Miss.While NCG 1 will oversee the Pacific,NCG 2 oversees the Atlantic, effectively
splitting command and control of all Sea-bee units— active and reserve— betweenboth NCGs.“Today is about change, and today we
are going to bemaking history,” said RearAdm. Mark Handley, Commander, 1st

Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) celebrated Black His-tory Month with a talk byOxnard’s first female policechief, a fashion show featuringactive duty Sailors modelingAfrican couture, and a collec-tion of figurines celebrating thediversity of American heroes.A collaboration by several
commands on base, the eventtook placeMarch 7, a few dayspast Black History Month, inthe E-2C Hangar theater atNBVCPointMugu. It celebrat-ed both the 150th anniversaryof the signing of the Emanci-pation Proclamation, whichfreed U.S. slaves, and the 50thanniversary of the March onWashington, which ended withDr.Martin LutherKing Jr. giv-ing his “I Have a Dream”speech from the steps of theLincoln Memorial in front of250,000 people.Capt. Larry Vasquez, the
commanding officer of NBVC,introduced the keynote speak-er, Oxnard Police Chief JeriWilliams, who regaled the audi-ence with stories of her 23-yearcareer and the challenges shehas faced both as an AfricanAmerican woman in law en-forcement and as a workingmom.“I’ve got lipstick inmy pock-
et,” she said. “I’ve never beenone to diminish my feminini-ty.”Williams was hired in Janu-
ary 2011 to runOxnard’s PoliceDepartment, which has a staffof 400 sworn and civilian em-ployees and a budget of morethan $50 million. She left anassistant chief position inPhoenix to take the job.“Don’t pass up an opportu-
nity,” she said, “and you won’t
pass up a blessing.”Her husband, an Arizona
justice of the peace, stayed be-hind to finish raising their twoboys. One is now at theUniver-sity of California, Santa Bar-bara, and the other is at Cali-fornia Lutheran University in
Thousand Oaks.Family activities have always
been important to her, shesaid.“As people of color, we need
to understand that kids mustsee us active and involved in thecommunity,” Williams said.
“We need to be better role-modelers than talkers.”Faith, too, has been extreme-
ly important.“It’s been a foundation for
me my entire life,” she said.She described herself as stub-
born and competitive, traitsthat have carried her far in hercareer.“Early on, I chose not to be
a victim,” she said.Williams’ presentation was
followed by a fashion show fea-turing several Sailors modelingAfrican garments created bylocal designer Lowell Pum-phrey. ConstructionMechanic1st Class Paul James of NBVCPort Operations and his wife,Anjel, kicked off the show bywearing wedding attire fromUganda.Among the other models
were Culinary Specialist 2ndClassDerrickHollins of NBVCBachelor Housing, who worea royal Dashiki, and Opera-tions Specialist 2nd ClassD’Ebony Simons of Air TestandEvaluation Squadron (VX)30, who wore a cotton versionof Kente, a woven materialwith African design. Opera-tions Specialist 1st Class IeshaAldridge of VX-30, who is ex-pecting, wore a quilted dress.After several other models
paraded through the audito-rium, closing comments weregiven byKimberly Silver of theNaval Air Warfare CenterWeapons Division. Then theaudience was free to enjoy acake prepared by NBVC PointMuguGalley and take a closerlook at the figurines of Amer-ican heroes.Called H.E.R.O.E.S., for
Honoring Excellence Regard-less of Ethnic Stigmas, the“mobile museum”of 150 figu-rines is the brainchild of localresident Lawrence Lee.One figurine in particular
caught the eye of the guestspeaker. It was of Williamsherself.“She has better hair than I
do,” the police chief laughed.

Touring a 684-foot amphibioustransport dock ship is an opportu-nity few get to experience, and nowthe top three winning teams of theEngineering Challenge put on byNa-val SurfaceWarfare Center PortHue-nemeDivision (NSWCPHD) are partof the select few.Fifteen students toured USS An-
chorage (LPD 23) March 8 duringthe ship’s visit to Port Hueneme. Thestudents were fromAnacapaMiddleSchool in Ventura, Santa Rosa Tech-nology Magnet School in Camarilloand Mesa Union School in Somis,
which placed first, second and third,respectively, in the Engineering Chal-lenge.The students received an up-close
look at one of theNavy’s seven Land-ing Portable Dock (LPD)-class ships.Anchorage Sailors gave them a smallpreview of life aboard anLPD, lettingthem view the berthing area, bridge,mess deck, ward and intensive careunit. They tested out the ship’s unique“sit-up”berths, which accommodateup to 6 feet 6 inches of length, andthey sat in the commander’s swivelchair on the bridge, where they pro-ceeded to hand out orders to fellowclassmates.“My favorite part was seeing the
bridge,” said Lauren Panesis of MesaUnion. “It was cool. It was so big andthe chairs were really comfortable. Ithink it would be fun to live on theship; it’s like a city on the sea.”For Thanh Dinh of Anacapa, the
berthing area made the biggest im-pression.“My favorite part was seeing the
sleeping quarters,”she said. “The ship
was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.It would be awesome to live as aSailor.”USS Anchorage is the seventh San
Antonio-class amphibious transportdock ship. Built in Avondale, La.,LPD 23 was delivered to the NavySept. 17, 2012, and will be commis-sioned May 4 in her namesake Alas-ka city.NSWCPHD, commanded byCapt.
Bill DeBow, is a field activity of Na-val Sea Systems Command and pro-vides the Navy global fleet withweapon system in-service engineering,logistics and test and evaluation. It islocated at Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty, where it employs more than 1,900personnel.The command is an avid supporter
of many community-related, scienceand technology events and championsa variety of programs involving localschools, including the Pre-engineeringProgram for high school students whowant to learn more about careers inscience, technology, mathematics andengineering.

Worship scheduleWith all the rain we have had lately, my
backyard, which was nothing but dirt, hassprouted different variations of grass fromall of the former owners who tried theirhand at laying sod. I have forest green,lime green, thin blade, thick blade and alltypes in between, growing up in patches.I have also noticed that spacing itself
between the grass are tufts of three-leafclover— very appropriate sinceMarch isthe time of limericks, leprechauns, sham-rocks and St. Paddy’s Day Parades. It isthe time when those of us who are notIrish wish we were and are a little greenwith envy for a day.By the way, I have diligently looked
through the clover in my backyard to seeif I could spot the lucky four-leaf version,but so far, no such luck!However, I do want to take a moment
to address the wee green-eyed culpritcalled envy. It is a very subtle opponentthat sneaks up on us when we least expectit. Wemay even swear that we are not theenvious type, if there is a type, but upontruthful examination we may find that ithas crept in between the spaces of our lifeand pops up bright and green when we’re
not looking.Merriam-Webster’s says envy is “the
resentful awareness of an advantage en-joyed by another joined with a desire topossess the same advantage.”Envy shows itself when we look at a
friend’s marriage and think that they haveit better.Envy shows up in the workplace when
someone else gets a “BZ” that we thinkwe deserve.Envy can sneak into relationships with
our siblings as we try to prove that we arethemore successful son or daughter in our
parent’s eyes.Envy can show up on our credit card
when we buy more than we should justto keep up with the neighbors.Envy clouds our vision and distorts the
reality of what we are really looking atwhen we begin to envy another humanbeing. It does not reveal itself when ourfriends are simply pasting on a fake smileto get through the day. It robs us of ourability to be happy for another personwhen they get some recognition and ofour contentment if we don’t get thesame.Envy would have us put a price tag on
love, which should never be quantified.Envy deceives us into believing that we
can get ahead of it, but the truth is thereis no gold — only an endless, emptypot.A passage in Proverbs 14:30 reads, “A
heart at peace gives life to the body, butenvy rots the bones.”So before envy overtakes us, let’s pull
up those little green sprigs at first sightof them — and may God’s presence bethe strength and sure foundation of yourlife!
Envy is one bit of greenery to pluck out of your life

Members of Naval Construction Group 1 and homeport personnel of Naval MobileConstruction Battalion 5 congratulate BU3 Brandon Bernal and his spouse, Adrienne,after the Purple Heart ceremony Friday, March 15, at Naval Base Ventura County, PortHueneme.
By Andrea HowryLighthouse editor
In front of more than 200 fellow Sailorsand Seabees — and his fascinated 11-month-old son—Builder 3rd Class Bran-don Bernal was pinned with a PurpleHeart Friday, March 15, at Naval BaseVentura County, Port Hueneme.As Bernal’s wife, Adrienne, held their
wide-eyed boy, Branden, Bernal stood atattention as Capt. Dean Tufts, commo-dore of Naval Construction Group 1,attached the medal to Bernal’s uniform.Bernal sustained traumatic brain in-
jury Aug. 12, 2010, when his 14-vehicleconvoy was ambushed by Taliban forcesin the Helmand Province of Afghanistanand a blast from an improvised explosivedevice rendered him unconscious.According to the Purple Heart citation
read during the ceremony, Bernal regainedconsciousness, made sure no one in his
truck had sustained life-threatening in-juries, then got back to work.“BU3 was able to return well-aimed
fire with his M240 machine gun,” thecitation reads. “Bernal demonstratedtremendous restraint during multiple firefights and unimaginable chaos.”Bernal, 26, has been in the Navy for
nearly five years and planned to leavethe military a few days after the ceremo-ny. He and his family are moving toPueblo, Colo., where Bernal will enrollin Colorado State University to studybusiness. His father owns a constructioncompany in Pueblo, and Bernal plans tojoin him in the family business.“It’s going to be tough,” he admits. “I
have a lot of problems concentrating andsome memory loss.”He’ll be receiving help through voca-
tional rehabilitation and other programs,and he is confident he can adapt andadjust to a school environment.“The brain finds different ways to
work,” he said.Tufts said he was honored to present
the award.“This is one of my proudest moments
in the service,” he said.After the formal ceremony ended, all
of the 200-plus Sailors in attendanceformed a line to congratulate the fami-ly.

As a lieutenant commander, RobertMcClellan has been in the Navy a longtime, so he knows about the Navy-Ma-rine Corps Relief Society.What he didn’t know was how much
the organization has done for his fellowSailors, providing $409,000 in assistancein 2012 in Ventura County alone — $43million worldwide.A good organization?“Oh yeah,” McClellan said.Making him and about 60 other Sail-
ors at the Naval Facilities Engineeringand ExpeditionaryWarfare Center moreaware of the services provided by theNMCRS was the key reason why Direc-tor Oscar Ramos visited the commandat 7 a.m. Tuesday, March 12.“Yes, we’re in the middle of our an-
nual fund drive, but increasing awarenessof our organization is the most impor-tant thing,” Ramos said.He and Lt. Daniel Montieth of the
Naval Supply Fleet Logistics Center,who is serving as this year’s fund drivecoordinator, will have visited about 30different commands at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) by the time thefund drive ends this month.They talk about the many services
provided by NMCRS, among them:• Quick Assist Loans of up to $500
for emergency needs, such as car re-pairs.• Larger, need-based loans that are
interest free and come with budget coun-seling. “These loans won’t fund vaca-tions,”Monteith said, “but they’ll coverrent, medical expenses, food and gas.They’re an alternative to high-interestpayday loans and credit cards.”• Budget for Baby workshops, which
help expectant parents plan for the extracosts involving a new addition to thefamily.• The NMCRS Thrift Store, located
in Bldg. 829 at NBVC Port Hueneme.The NMCRS on base is staffed by
only two part-time employees. It’s the44 volunteers currently on hand whorender much of the assistance.Ramos urged Sailors to stop by the
NMCRS office in the Welcome Centerat NBVC Port Hueneme if they’re inter-ested in volunteering or in any of theservices provided. Anyone interested incontributing to the fund drive, which hasa goal of $90,000, should contact Mon-teith via email at [email protected], or call the NMCRS office at 805-982-4409.

Naval Base Ventura County’s youthsoccer season ends March 23, havingserved nearly twice as many youngstersas organizers were expecting.“We actually had to stop registration
and start a waiting list,” said AnthonyUnchango, the youth sports and fitnesscoordinator for the base. “We madesome last-minute adjustments, and inthe end, we were able to take everyoneon the waiting list.”Last year, 72 children ages 5 to 12
took part in the youth soccer program.This year, 111 signed up, and 10 teamswere created.In addition, for the first time the
base offered Start Smart, an introduc-tion to soccer for youngsters 3 yearsold through pre-kindergarten.“We were hoping for 12 children and
expecting eight,” Unchango said. “Weended up with 46.”All that created a real need for vol-
unteers, and nearly 50 people cameforward, willing to serve as coaches,team parents and — bless them — ref-erees.“I was extremely pleased with the
season,” Unchango said.So was Rosie Barnes, whose 3-year-
old daughter, Kiahna, took part inStart Smart.“I love it, and she loves it,” said
Barnes, a domestic abuse victim advo-cate for the Fleet & Family SupportCenter. “This is teaching her how toplay as part of a team, and it’s intro-ducing the sport of soccer reallywell.”
The Junior World Cup soccer seasonincluded six games and a skills clinic.Start Smart offered five classes thatstressed fundamentals.

Teenagers from Naval Base VenturaCounty spent their afternoon Tuesday,March 5, reading to preschoolers on baseas part of a ReadAcross America celebra-tion that takes place every year in honorof Dr. Seuss’ birthday.But this year, instead of reading the
usual Dr. Seuss fare of “The Cat in theHat” or “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish,Blue Fish,” the teens read from some 120“Bearville” books and then sent all thechildren home with their very own copy.The 120 books were given to the teens
— to be passed on down to the little ones— by their author, Gale Trumbeaux, whoturned to writing children’s books afterher 30-year beloved venture, the StageDoor Theater in AgouraHills, closed sev-eral years ago.“I needed something to do, and I found
some old papers with stories I’d writtenfor my grandson,” she said. “I figuredthey’d be good to give to homeless sheltersand children’s hospitals. And then Ithought about the Navy base and how itwould be nice to say thank you to themilitary.”Trumbeaux worked out the arrange-
mentswith JakeMunyon,Child andYouthProgram director at the base, and thenKecia Ciccotti, the teen programs coordi-
nator, organized the Read Across Amer-ica event. The author was invited and wasable to hear her stories being read andcould see each child walk off with one ofher books.“I was thrilled I could do this,” she said
as one youngster picked up a book.The “Bearville” series, printed on slick
paper and bound with a plastic spiral, fol-lows the adventures of the animals thatlive in the town of Bearville. They includeAndrew, a blue bear; his pink sister, So-phia; Mr. Muffin, who owns a toy shop;andMailmanMike. The illustrations havedialog that ties in to the story printedabove each page.“I like the books because they teach the
kids something,” Ciccotti said. “And ev-erything’s written in a kid-friendly way.”

Seabees from Naval MobileConstruction Battalion (NMCB)3mentored students fromOxnardHigh School’s Junior Reserve Of-ficer Training Corps (JROTC)during a volunteer constructionproject lastmonth that helped theprogram prepare for a major up-coming inspection.The volunteers— all members
of NMCB 3’s First Class PettyOfficer Association – spent Sat-urday, Feb. 23, teaching theJROTC students how to trans-form a large metal container intoa dual-level, shelved gear locker.According to Oxnard High
School JROTC’s commander,retiredAir ForceMaj.DaleWeav-er, the effort provided an oppor-tunity to both teach the teenagersthe proper way to safely operatetools and double their currentstorage space.“This project raised our avail-
able storage from 255 to more
than 400 square feet,” he said.“This helps meet the requirementneeded for us to pass a manda-tory inspection scheduled this
fall. If we were to fail the inspec-tion, we would be placed on pro-bation. Consistent failures wouldresult in the program’s dismissal
… so the work and mentorshipbeing performed here is invalu-able and something these kids willnever forget.”The NCMB 3 volunteers en-
sured the high school studentsunderstood all safety steps, gainedthorough knowledge of the toolsand performed critical qualitycontrol techniques to reducemis-takes. The mentorship came sec-ond nature to the veteran Seabeeswho shared a combined tradeexperience of more than 70years.“I enjoy this a lot,” said volun-
teer Builder 1st Class (SCW) Ed-die Pygott. “I have two sons whoI make help me when I’m doingthings around the house and per-form these same steps with all myjunior Bees. So far, the studentshave been receptive, eager andconfident. Each of them listenedto what I said and followed direc-tions perfectly.”Oxnard High School Principal
Dr. Eric Riegert said the school’s
JROTCprogram is a critical com-ponent to the school’s success.Hismaintenance staff is currentlyoverwhelmed keeping upwith theday-to-day operations. If not forthe NMCB 3 volunteers, theneeded construction would mostlikely never have been complet-ed.“It’s a big deal,” said Riegert.
“We couldn’t do it ourselves. See-ing the collaboration between thestudents and Seabees in a learningmodel where the students receiveinstructions and apply the knowl-edge is great.“This is my third principalship
with a JROTCprogram in place,”he added. “It’s vital, and I can’timagine a school without it. Itbuilds pride, discipline and reallymakes a difference.”The project was the first of
many collaborations planned be-tween NMCB 3 and the localJROTC unit to ensure they meettheir inspection requirements thisfall.

The Department of the Navy chief in-formation officer is issuing this warningabout tax-related identity fraud.More than 34,000 identity fraud cases
were reported by the Internal RevenueService (IRS) in 2011, an almost 100 per-cent increase over 2010.Identity tax-fraud is easy to commit and
presents little risk in getting caught to theidentity thief. All that is required by thethief is a full name and associated SocialSecurity Number (SSN). Identity thievescontinue to create new ways of stealingpersonal information and using it for theirgain. The information below is an excerptfrom the IRS and written to inform youof tax-related identity fraud.How do you know if your tax records
have been affected?Usually, an identity thief uses a legiti-
mate taxpayer’s identity to fraudulentlyfile a tax return and claim a refund. Gen-erally, the identity thief will use a stolenSSN to file a forged tax return and attemptto get a fraudulent refund early in the fil-ing season.You may be unaware that this has hap-
pened until you file your return later inthe filing season and discover that tworeturns have been filed using the sameSSN.Be alert to possible identity theft if you
receive an IRS notice or letter that statesthat:• More than one tax return for you was
filed,• You have a balance due, refund offset
or have had collection actions takenagainst you for a year you did not file atax return, or• IRS records indicate you received
wages from an employer unknown toyou.What do you do if your tax records were
affected by identity fraud?If you receive a notice from IRS, re-
spond immediately. If you believe some-one may have used your SSN fraudulent-ly, please notify the IRS by responding tothe name and number printed on the no-tice or letter. You will need to fill out theIRS Identity Theft Affidavit, Form14039.
How can you protect your tax records?If your tax records are not currently af-
fected by identity theft, but you believeyou may be at risk due to a lost or stolenpurse or wallet, questionable credit cardactivity or credit report, etc., contact theIRS Identity Protection Specialized Unitat 1-800-908-4490.How can you minimize the chance of be-
coming a victim?• Don’t carry your Social Security card
or any document with your SSN.• Don’t give a business your SSN just
because they ask. Give it only when re-quired.• Protect your financial information.• Check your credit report every 12
months.• Secure personal information in your
home.• Protect your personal computers by
using firewalls and anti-spam/virus soft-ware, updating security patches and chang-ing passwords for Internet accounts.• Do not give personal information over
the phone, through the mail or on the In-ternet unless you have initiated the contactor you are sure you know who you aredealing with.For more information visit www.IRS.

“Who likes money?”Youthful arms shot into the air.The tough questions came next, like
“How do you plan to make it?” and“What happens when you don’t haveenough of it?’Nine teens from Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) gave up a recent Sat-urday morning to learn about budget-ing, saving, entrepreneurship, creditscores and credit and debit cards duringa Military Teens Save Workshop heldat the Point Mugu Youth Center in con-junction with Military Saves Week.For two hours onMarch 2, they heard
from financial experts on the many is-sues they’ll face as they get older.“Even at this age, most of these kids
have heard about credit disasters,” said
Kecia Ciccotti, the teen programs co-ordinator for Child and Youth Pro-grams (CYP) and the organizer of theevent. “A couple of these kids want to
start their own business, and they’realready thinking of what they need todo to make that happen.”Jazmyn Morgan, a CYP intern from
Michigan, created a pamphlet called“Money Saving Tips for Teens” that washanded out at the event along with anentrepreneur’s kit with a calculator,pens, money rolls and other items.Ray Bowman, director of the Small
Business Development Center in Ca-marillo, was one of the speakers.“Almost every entrepreneur we deal
with started young,” he said. “The bestones do start young, whether it’sthrough mowing lawns, babysitting orwhatever. You almost need an experi-ence like that before you start your ownbusiness. You learn how to create yourown value.”He said he was impressed with the
event and with the teens who attend-ed.“I praise them for wanting to start
this young,” he said.
Teens jumpstart their future duringMilitary Saves Week
Here are some ideas from the “Money Saving Tips for Teens” pamphlet:• Sign up for savings and/or checking accounts with no monthly fees.• Avoid taking money out of ATMs that charge you fees.• Avoid impulse buying. Make a shopping list and stick with it.• See a matinee movie or rent a DVD instead of seeing an evening show.• Eating out adds up! Try having a potluck and cooking at home with your
friends.• Beware of the Vending Villain. Vending machines and convenience stores
are usually more expensive than supermarket groceries.• Be creative! Whenever possible, make something yourself instead of buy-
ing it.• Bike, walk, use public transportation and carpool to save on gas money.
How teenagers can start saving money

Nearly 100 people took advantage ofMilitary SavesWeek activities earlier thismonth to learn the benefits of saving,investing and preparing for the future.Nearly 60 of them were from the Naval
Construction Training Center — 18- to20-year-olds for whom those lessons canyield the greatest benefit.“This group needs to understand how
to build wealth, not debt, and to startdoing it now, at the start of their careerwhen they’re getting a steady income, notat the end,” said Dan Savage, a financialeducator with the Fleet & Family Support
Center at Naval Base Ventura County.On Thursday,March 14, Savage award-
ed nine prizes to the top winners in thefirst-ever Poker Run, a Military SavesWeek activity in which participantsstopped at up to seven different locationsto learn about financial planning. At eachlocation, they received a playing card,and those with the best five-card pokerhand at the end of the week received aprize.Collecting a full house and earning the
top prize, a $500 savings bond from theCBC Federal Credit Union, was Con-struction Mechanic ConstructionmanMichael Bollin, who said he planned toinvest the winnings.“This taught me about starting early
with investments,”he said. “I also learnedto do my homework and talk to people
before I make an investment and beforeI sign a contract.”Construction Mechanic Apprentice
Patrick Ramirez said he learned that heneeds to save now so he’ll be able to some-day retire and enjoy life.“It was very educational,” agreed Con-
struction Mechanic ConstructionmanVaughn Laidley. “It opened my eyesabout the importance of not only saving,but also investing.”Other prizes included free rounds of
golf, free games of bowling, 30-minutemassages, “MWR Bucks” to be used atMorale, Welfare and Recreation facilitieson base, and two $25 Navy Exchange giftcards. The Navy Federal Credit Unioncontributed the $100 inMWRBucks, andthe Armed Forces Bank contributed theNEX gift cards.

“Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.” — Mat-thew 13:7.
By Andrea HowryLighthouse
Thorns had indeed choked the Oxnard Senior Vegetable Garden, and Diana Cooley had had enough.
“In three years, I’d never seen this many weeds,” said the president of the 17-plot cooperative on Pleasant Valley Road. “All the pathways, two gardens — they were all overrun.”
The garden needed help, and when word of that reached Lt. Lesa Welliver, the staff chaplain at Naval Base Ventura County, she knew a Religious Ministries commu-nity relations project had cropped up.
“I wanted everyone to get outdoors,” she said. “I knew there were a lot of peo-ple who had never gardened or used gar-dening tools. This would be a good way to enjoy spring and get some sun.”
Nineteen Sailors agreed, showing up the morning of Thursday, March 7, to help pull weeds throughout the garden and till the soil of the 12-by-20-foot plot that will soon be tended by Navy retirees, with help from active duty Seabees.
“The turnout was fantastic,” Welliver said.
Cooley agreed.“I can’t tell you what this means,” she
said. “These are fabulous kids.”For two hours, the volunteers from all
over the base got the garden ready for springtime planting.
Among them was Construction Me-chanic 3rd Class Jennifer Kerkman of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3, who was enjoying being back in her element. A Nebraska native, she grew up with cows, pigs, emus and a big garden that would yield tomatoes, straw-berries, potatoes and peppers.
“I love the results of a garden, seeing plants grow,” she said.
She liked the fact that gardening in Southern California is easier than garden-
ing in Nebraska — especially this time of year.
“It’s 65 degrees here and 35 degrees there,” she said.
Logistics Specialist 2nd Class Ivy Jane Ibarra, also with NMCB 3, was enjoying the opportunity to volunteer.
“It makes me feel good as a person,” she said as she pulled out a clump of weeds. “I’m an office person, and every time I get a chance to do things like this, I do it. It’s all about giving back.”
Throughout the morning, Cooley was peppered with questions about the plants surrounding the volunteers. She pointed out chard and kale and listed some of the dozens of vegetables that would soon be filling the garden, among them sugar snap peas, arugula, asparagus, garlic, shallots and zucchini.
“I’ve learned so much with this project,” Cooley told them. “I would have never thought of eating kale. But they’re deli-cious once you learn how to prepare it,” confessing that she’s still getting used to arugula.
Welliver is looking for volunteers to re-turn to the garden April 11 so they can paint a fence and plant green beans, zuc-chini and cantaloupe. To volunteer, call the Seabee Chapel at 982-4358.
“He who sows the good seed is the Son of man.” — Matthew 13:37.

This community garden on Pleasant Valley Road was overrun with weeds when volunteers from Naval Base Ventura County showed up one overcast Thursday morning to help clean it up.

And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.”

CM3 Jennifer Kerkman of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 grew up with a large garden in Nebraska where she helped her mother harvest tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and strawberries. She said working in Southern California’s balmy weather has advantages over Nebraska gardening, especially this time of year.

Dr. Justin Henrie, an electronics engi-neer at the Naval Air Warfare CenterWeapons Division (NAWCWD), recentlyreceived the Outstanding EngineeringAchievementMerit Award at the 58thAn-nual Engineers’Honors and Awards Ban-quet in Los Angeles.Henrie was recognized for technical ex-
cellence in the development of state-of-the-art methods for testing and character-izing electronically scanned antenna arraysystems and for leadership andmentorshipof young engineers and scientists.More than 600 people turned out for
the Feb. 23 gala. Among them were Dr.Ronald Smiley, director of ElectronicWar-fare/Combat Systems and the AvionicsDepartment, and Daniel Bukowski, leadof the Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA)Integrated Program Team.The theme of the event was “Celebrate
Awesome.”
Henrie was nominated by Dr. BalajiIyer, associate division director of theAEA Division.“Dr. Henrie has been truly innovative,
resulting in several patents and publica-tions,” Iyer said. “He has several fundedproposals, as well as successful collabora-tive efforts with industry and academia.His innovative abilities resulted in a newmethod of measuring array antennas thatis sought after by theDefenseDepartmentand industry.”Henrie’s work became the basis of the
High-power Electronic Attack TechniqueRadiation (HEATR) laboratory, which hedesigned.“In the three years that he has been with
our organization, he has contributed sig-nificantly,” Iyer said.Dale Jans, chairman of EngineersWeek,
said, engineers innovate, create and solveproblems.“They work together to make the world
better,”he said. “Engineers are key to ourhealth, safety and happiness.”Henrie’s spouse of 11 years, Danielle,
was there to congratulate him on this ma-jor achievement.

companies with immediate open-ings or with opportunities open-ing up in the next four to sixweeks.FFSC Director Laura Hamil-
ton said there was plenty of va-riety in those openings and careerfields, ranging from social workto copper mining.“Everyone from engineers to
accountants can find a positionhere,” she said. “There are manyjobs open right now that suit theskill sets and education levels rep-resented in this room.”Several law enforcement agen-
cies were recruiting. One of them,the Los Angeles County Sheriff’sDepartment, has 13 current open-ings, including a senior sewingworker, a senior cook, a sign lan-guage specialist and an audio,video and security systems tech-nician. The pay scale for thosejobs ranges from $2,235.27 amonth for the sewing worker to$6,094.04 a month for the secu-
rity systems technician.“We have found some perfect
candidates among military per-sonnel,” said Katherine Keelin, acustody assistant for the depart-ment. “They understand struc-
ture and rank, and they’re usedto odd hours and shifts. We are a24-hour operation, and they un-derstand that.”The department has 600 differ-
ent professional positions — ev-
erything from electricians andplumbers for building mainte-nance to physicians and nurses.“There are so many positions
people don’t even think about,”Keelin said.Mark Schneider of Pacific Aire
Heating and Cooling agreed withKeelin that military service pro-vides an ideal training ground— and not just at the skill level.“I’m talking about more than
just technical ability,” he said.“We need peoplewho can interactwith customers, and those cus-tomers need to feel comfortablewith us being in their homes.”Hampton Tedder was looking
for people with an electrical back-ground.“We’re short-handed right
now,” said Joshua Cameron, amarketing associate. “We’re look-ing to hire as many people as wecan find.”Seabees and operationsmanag-
ers were high on his list.“There are a lot of people here
with the qualifications and po-tential to become part of ourteam,” he said.All of this was good news for
Equipment Operator 3rd ClassLindsey Abeyta of Naval Mo-bile Construction Battalion 3.In the Navy for three years, theexpectant mother is planningto leave the service after herchild is born. She has not onlythe skills she picked up as aSeabee, but also her experiencein the medical field she was inbefore joining the Navy.“There are a lot of opportu-
nities here,” she said, pickingup job descriptions from Clin-icas Del Camino Real, a Ven-tura County healthcare pro-vider.Yvette Salazar, a human re-
sources technician with Clini-cas, was impressed.“These people are very edu-
cated,” she said. “There’s a lotof experience here. I’m veryexcited.”

The National Committee for QualityAssurance (NCQA) recently announcedthat Naval BranchHealth Clinic (NBHC)Port Hueneme, has received recognitionfrom the Patient-CenteredMedical Home(PCMH) 2011 program for using evidence-based, patient-centered processes thatfocus on highly coordinated care and long-term participative relationships.The patient-centered medical home is a
model of care that emphasizes care coor-dination and communication to transformprimary care into “what patients want itto be.”Research shows that medical homes can
lead to higher quality and lower costs, andthat they improve patients’ and providers’reported experiences of care.The PCMH identifies practices that
promote partnerships between individualpatients and their personal clinicians, in-stead of treating patient care as the sumof several episodic office visits. Each pa-tient’s care is tended to by clinician-ledcare teams, which provide for all the pa-tient’s health care needs and coordinatetreatments across the health care system.
Medical home clinicians demonstrate thebenchmarks of patient-centered care, in-cluding open scheduling, expanded hoursand appropriate use of proven health in-formation systems.“The patient-centered medical home
raises the bar in defining high-quality careby emphasizing access, health informationtechnology and partnerships between cli-nicians and patients,” said NCQA Presi-dent Margaret E. O’Kane. “PCMH Rec-ognition shows thatNBHCPortHuenemehas the tools, systems and resources toprovide their patients with the right careat the right time.”To receive recognition, which is valid
for three years, NHBC Port Huenemedemonstrated the ability to meet the pro-gram’s key elements embodying charac-teristics of the medical home. The stan-dards are aligned with the joint principlesof the Patient-Centered Medical Homeestablished with the American College ofPhysicians, the American Academy ofFamily Physicians, theAmericanAcademyof Pediatrics and the American Osteo-pathic Association.
Health clinic garners recognition
NavalConstructionDivision. “This changewill make us stronger and more capable.”Handley, guest of honor for the ceremo-
ny, explained that since World War II, theNaval Construction Force numbers haveincreased and decreased based on need andthat Seabees must be flexible to remainrelevant.While 30NCR will essentially continue
its currentmission as a part of NCG1, theability to have singular focus is expected tohave long-term positive impact as theymove forward.“Over the past decade, the regiment has
had to look over its shoulder for an upcom-ing deployment to Iraq orAfghanistan andcould only manage partial focus on thePacific,” said Capt. RodMoore, 30NCR’scommander. “Nowwhenwe look over ourshoulder in the future, we will instead seeour teammates at the newNaval Construc-tion Group 1 where we are forging thesetwo capable units into amutually support-ive relationship.”Moore will serve both as 30NCR’s com-
mander and NCG 1’s deputy command-er.
Tufts wanted the crowed to understandthat the 31st SRG was not being decom-missioned, but instead is undergoing atransformation as it has so many times inhistory: From its beginnings as the 31stNaval Construction Regiment in 1944, tothe 31st SRG in 2003 and now today asNCG 1, no matter what the name, thecommand will continue to prepare Pa-cific Fleet Naval Construction Force unitsto conduct construction in support ofcombatant commanders to win America’swars.“Ten years ago, in March 2003, we
watched the TV coverage of the ‘shockand awe’ campaign in Baghdad, whichkicked off Operation Iraqi Freedom,”saidTufts as he looked out over the crowd. “Iam reminded since then, Seabees haveregularly deployed to places like Iraq, Af-ghanistan and theHorn of Africa. In fact,about three-quarters of these Seabeesstanding before you have deployed to acombat zone … many of them two andthree times. I am so proud and honoredto be associated with [these Seabees] andour new command. I look forward toshaping the future of the Naval Construc-tion Force with [them].”

theWoundedWarrior Half Mar-athon.Registration was already under
way for theMudRun and the tri-athlon. Refunds are being pro-cessed, and checks are expectedto bemailed in about three weeks,saidDanAlpern,marketing direc-tor forMorale, Welfare and Rec-reation (MWR).Several lunchtime 5Ks were
also canceled, but the next onecoming up, the April 11 SexualAssault Awareness 5K, is still onbecause it is sponsored by theFleet & Family Support Center,which is funded differently thanMWR.Alpern said the cancellations
were based on guidance fromhigher up the chain of command,including Commander Navy In-stallations Command (CNIC).“These were not local deci-
sions,”he said. “The commandingofficer of Naval Base VenturaCountyhas approved these chang-es based on instruction fromCNIC and Navy Region South-west.”He said the new hours were
based on current utilization.“MWR is keeping our facilities
open during the time patrons usethem the most to minimize im-pact,” he said.Gyms on base will be open for
90 hours instead of 101. Poolhours are being reduced 20 per-cent.Operating hours at the liberty
centers—theCoffeeNet atNBVC
Port Hueneme and the SurfNetat NBVC Point Mugu — are be-ing slashed in half. TheCoffeeNetwill be open 50 hours a week in-stead of 98. The SurfNet will beopen 50 hours a week instead of85. In addition, at least threepeople must be signed up for atrip offered through the libertyprogram; otherwise, the trip willbe canceled.“Sign up early,” Alpern ad-
vised.The four events that are being
canceledwere longstanding tradi-tions inVenturaCounty andwere
growing in popularity each year.TheMudRun, which had been
scheduled for May 18, attracted640 competitors last year, up from488 the year before. The entry feesof $10 for military and $20 forcivilians covered only the cost ofevent shirts and trophies, Alpernsaid.“We still have labor and secu-
rity expenses that are not cov-ered,” he said.The Mud Run featured an ob-
stacle course of slick hills, water-filled gulleys and mucky tunnels.TheNaval Construction Training
Center (NCTC) created the courseeach year as a training exercise.“Each year, it took about four
weeks to prepare,” said Lt. Cmdr.Jesse Santiago, executive officerof the NCTC. “We’d use movingequipment to create the mud pitsand the hills, and we made surethe course was clean and laid-outwell, that there was plenty ofparking.”He said the event offered more
than a chance for training.“Itwas an opportunity to show-
case the NCTC andwhat the stu-dents do,” he said.In addition, many of the stu-
dents who didn’t volunteer towork the event participated in it.“I’ve heard a lot of disappoint-
ment,” Santiago said.The Admiral’s Cup Triathlon,
which had been on the calendarfor June 1, drew 100 competitorslast year. Each year, it has beenheld in conjunction with theArmed Forces Triathlon, whichhas not yet been canceled.The Surf Contest, scheduled for
Aug. 17 and 18, drew 7,500 com-petitors and spectators last year.“This event drewwide attention
both within the surfing commu-nity andwithin the armed forces,”Alpern said. “It was truly a mo-rale booster.”Nationally ranked surfers took
part in this event because of therare opportunity to surf some ofthe bestwaters inCalifornia. PointMugu’s surfing beach faces south,and that, combined with a sub-marine canyon and sandbars,
gives it a unique, big wave.This would have been the sixth
year the event, which was free forspectators, was offered on base.The Wounded Warrior Half
Marathon began three years ago,the same year it was announcedthatNBVCPortHuenemewouldbecome a training site for wound-ed, ill and injuredNavy andCoastGuard athletes preparing for theWarrior Games. Last year, nearly1,000 people took part in the halfmarathon or the concurrent 5Kand one-mile run.Alpern said the event never
turned a profit.“The Wounded Warrior Half
Marathon is an event to honorour warriors, not a fund-raiser,”he said.Recreational services on base
that are profit-centered have notbeen affected by these cost-cuttingmoves, Alpern said.They include the Seabee Golf
Course at NBVC Port Hueneme,the Beach Motel at NBVC PointMugu, theRVparks at bothHue-neme and Mugu, and all diningfacilities, including theBardMan-sion at Hueneme and the Flight-line and newly renamed Hangar— formerly the O-Zone — atMugu.“No changes in these services
are expected at all,” he said.Untouched for now are the
ticket offices, the bowling alleys,the auto centers, the theaters andthe outdoor recreation facilities.“However,” Alpern said,
“changes are expected.”
