Question: When the government shutdown oc-

curred, I was surprised that the commissary closed

but activities like the bowling alley stayed open.

Why is the bowling alley essential and buying gro-

ceries is not?

Answer: The gover nment shutdown and civi l-

ian furloughs affected federal services across the

nation, but as you noted, not all services were af-

fected equally.

Those affected services like the commissary

are those funded by feder al appropriations. As

such, they were effectively without money on Oct.

1, the beginning of the fiscal year, without a budget

or continuing resolution having been passed. Other

services, like the bowling alley, movie theater and

other Morale, Welfare and Recreation activities,

are not dependent on congressional appropriations

bills for funding to operate.

Those appropriated-fund services considered

essential like fire and security were contin-

ued during the shutdown, initially without fund-

ing in place, based on the critical nature of the

services. Later, the Pay Our Mili tary Act allowed

the Department of Defense to return many civil-

ian employees to work during the shutdown. The

commissary was able to reopen, but thousands of

feder al employees in other departments are stil l

furloughed, as are some DoD employees.

For more about the shutdown, its effects at Na-

val Base Ventura County and what services are still

affected, see The Lighthouse article on the front

page of this edition.

Sailors celebrated the Navys238th birthday last week with

rime rib in the galley, a 5K inhe wind and dancing in alamorous beachside hotel.In the middle came one of

he most traditional celebra-ions of all: a bell-ringing cer-mony that ended with the

youngest Sailor present and theost senior officer present us-

ing a sword to cut a cake.Festivities began Thursday,

Oct. 10, when the galleys ataval Base Ventura County

(NBVC) served lunch to any-one with base access, a raretreat in these cost-cutting times.

Chief Warrant Officer RodelioRosales said 560 meals wereserved at Point Mugu, nearly670 atPort Hueneme and 75 atSan Nicolas Island. The mealincluded prime rib, friedshrimp, baked potato, rice pi-laf, asparagus and corn.

At the same time, nearly 80runners showed up for a lunch-time run put on by Morale,Welfare and Recreation outsidethe Point Mugu Gym. The run,slightly longer than a 5K, waswon by Lt. Cmdr. Rob Allenof the 5th Navy ExpeditionaryLogistics Regiment, who camein with a time of 20 minutes,46 seconds. Norma Santiago,the wife of Lt. Cmdr. JesseSantiago, the executive officerof the Naval ConstructionTraining Center, was the first-

place finisher among the wom-en with a time of 23 minutes,0 seconds.It was a little windy, saidllen, who recently returned

rom a deployment to Kuwait,here hed run at 6 a.m. to

avoid the brutal heat. Eventhen, he said, temperaturescould hit 100 degrees before hewas through.

Friday morning came the

bell-ringing ceremony outsideBuilding 1 at NBVC PointMugu. Capt. Larry Vasquez,commanding officer of thebase, discussed this yearstheme, Defending Americawith Pride Since 1775.

History teaches us that withgreat power comes great re-sponsibility,he said. We havechampioned peace, and wecontinue to shield the repub-lic.

With Equipment Operator3rd Class Simon Charumontastanding by, Builder 3rd ClassGregory Steinhurst followedNavy tradition and rang thebell in front of Building 1 ninetimes eight to signal the endof the watch and one for thestart of a new one a newyear.

Then, after a simple show ofhands determined that no onein attendance was born in 1992and only one in 1993, CulinarySpecialist Seaman Justin Feld-man of Carrier Airborne Ear-ly Warning Squadron (VAW)

116 shared a sword withVasquez to cut a cake thatserved 250.

The celebrations wrapped upthat night with the Navy Ballat the Embassy Suites Manda-lay Bay, a luxury beachfront

hotel near NBVC Port Huen-eme. Three-hundred ticketswere sold for the formalevent.

The Navys actual birthdayis Oct. 13, which fell on a Sun-day this year.

In grand naval tradition, stu-dents of the255th CivilEngineerCorps Officers School (CECOS)Basic Course were honored in agraduation ceremony Sept. 20 atNaval Base Ventura County

(NBVC) Port Hueneme.The commanding officer of the

Center for Seabees and FacilitiesEngineering (CSFE) and CE-COS, Capt. Kevin Brown, wishedthe graduates well, and Capt.Rodney Moore, commodore ofthe 30th Naval ConstructionRegiment (NCR), personallyhanded certificates to each of the41 graduates and addressed themand their friends and familymembers during the ceremony.

This was a very good classthat accomplished all of its train-ing objectives while maintaininga balanced espirit de corps,Brownsaid. CommodoreMooregave a great graduation speech,stepping in on short notice for

Rear Adm. Katherine Gregory,Chief of Civil Engineer Corps,who had to alter her travel plansdue to the attack at the NavyYard.

The graduating class was com-prisedof 39 CECofficers and twoSaudi Arabian officers who will

be stationed in operational unitsaround the world.

EnsignDylan Burns, one of thegraduates, said he will continueto build upon the knowledge hegained during the 17-week CE-COS Basic Class.

I will not leave CECOS ongraduation day pronouncing myacquisition expertise; rather, I willaccept that plaque with a senseof direction and confidence as anofficer in charge of construction,he said. Samuel Johnson said itbest: Knowledge is of two kinds;we know a subject ourselves, orwe know where we can find in-formation upon it.

Lt. Nathan Deunk, a CECOSinstructor, said the 255th class

was a cohesive group.This Basic Class truly came

together to support their classleadership like none I have seenbefore, he said. Additionally,they welcomed the different per-spectives brought by the priorenlisted officers to the class and

enthusiastically assimilated theselessons into the execution of theirdaily leadership responsibili-ties.

The course is a workshop de-signed to orient the newly com-missioned CEC officers to therole of the CEC in the Navy andto prepare them to be immedi-ately effective upon assuming theduties of their first CEC billets.

Topics include engineeringmanagement, financial manage-ment, the organization and re-sponsibilities of the Naval Fa-cilities (NAVFAC) command,construction technology andscheduling, personnel consider-ations and professional develop-ment.

After completing the BasicCourse, students begin a two-week specialized course in publicworks management, constructioncontract administration or con-struction battalion operations.

During the military training

phase of the course, students andstaff participated in a five-dayscenario-driven field training ex-ercise (FTX) at NBVC PointMugu. In thepast,the class FTX

Since colleges willaccept either, is it besto take the SAT or the ACT?

Unfortunately, the answer isnt simple.It depends on the students and theirtestingand subject matter preferences.

The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) andhe American College Test (ACT) are col-egeentrance examsused bymost colleges

n theUnited States. For most schools, stu-ents have an option to take either. How-ver, college applicants should be sure thathe test score being submitted is the bestossible testscore theyre able to get. Since

some students may do better on one testhan another, its important to compare thewo.

One difference between the ACT andSAT is science. The ACT has a science sec-tion, and the SAT does not. However, youstilldont need to worry about memorizinghe periodic table of elements for the ACT

it is meant to test reading andreasoningskills, not your knowledge of science.

The SAT has a required writing section,but the writing on the ACT is optional.However, some colleges will require the

riting test. Be sure if you opt out on theCT writing that your school will not ask

for your writing score. Also,the SAT essayscore will be factored into the compositewriting score. The ACT writing score willbe kept separate.

What about trigonometry? The ACTdoes have trig, while the SAT math sectioncovers only basic arithmetic, algebra I andII, and geometry. One thing to consider,however, is that the ACT math questionsseem to be more straightforward.For somestudents, this makes the ACT math easi-er.

Are words your thing? The SAT em-phasizes vocabulary much more than the

ACT. If wordsmithing isnt for you, theACT may be better.

TheSAT is broken up into more sections,and colleges will look at scores for each.The ACT is more of a big picture exam,and colleges will look more at the compos-ite score than the individual sections.

So, how does a student reallyknowwhich

is best?Taking both is an option, but eachrequires a fee and typically a Saturdaymorning. Another optionmight be to takea practice testor a prepcourse tosee whichfits best, but this can be costly.

Fortunately, military families have an-other option.

eKnowledge is offering military familiesa regularly priced $250 SAT and/or ACTtest prep program for just the cost of pro-viding the programs less than $20. Thefee covers everything, including materials,shipping, student support and streaming.

The Donation Project is in alliance withthe Department of Defense and supportedby more than 100 partners, including pro-fessional football and baseball players. Ineightyears, eKnowledge has donated morethan 200,000 SAT andACT programs val-ued at over $44 million. No profit is cre-

ated bythedonation effort, andall proceedsare reinvested to improve the program.

The SAT and ACT PowerPrep Pro-grams are available online or on a singleDVD. Programs include more than 11hours of video instruction and 3,000 filesof supplemental test prep material, thou-sands of interactive diagnostic tools, sam-

ple questions and practice tests. Studentsselect the training they need and study attheir own pace.

The programs are available to all activeduty service members, retirees, veterans,Reservists,members of theNationalGuard,Department of Defense employees, con-tractors and civilians performing militarysupport. Alsoeligible are relatives and de-pendents of anyone whootherwise qualifiesfrom the prior list.

Students may order both the ACT andthe SAT programs for under $40 for thetwo. This way, they will be sure to take thetest that will give them the best test scoreto attach to the college application.

The NBVC school liaison officer can be

contacted at 805-989-5211 or NBVC_SLO@

navy.mil for any K-12 education-related issue.

Is it better to take the SAT or the ACT? It all depends

Worship schedule

On any given day during this past sum-mer, you would find me getting up at4:50 a.m. to run six miles at Port Hue-neme. I would attach my iPhone to myarm and crank up my workout playlistthat is filled with training music, or Idlisten to sermons from my favorite pas-tors.

My run would last me about 50 min-utes and gave me enough time to cleanup and eat breakfast before the start ofthe duty day.

You are probably asking yourself,Why does he do it? The answer comesfrom my Gunny at chaplain school whosaid, You train how you fight, and fighthow you train.

My training is not just for down range,but also for life. I started training forthis mobilization a year and half beforeit happened. As a chaplain, I am not apart of the combat operations portionof our mission, but I still need to beprepared to endure the onslaught ofstress that comes with being down range.Training also keeps me in shape for life,and it keeps me focused physically, men-

tally and spiritually as well.The Apostle Paul said, Do you not

know that in a race all the runners run,but only one receives the prize? So runthat you may obtain it. Every athleteexercises self-control in all things. Theydo it to receive a perishable wreath, butwe an imperishable. So I do not run aim-lessly; I do not box as one beating theair. But I discipline my body and keepit under control, lest after preaching toothers I myself should be disqualified.(I Corinthians 9:24-27; ESV)

Paul was not focused on the trainingitself, but rather the actual event. Forthe last four months we have enduredrigorous training, and now NMCB 28is in the fight.

Our focus is not on ribbons, but rath-er on honoring the fight of those whohave gone before us as well as carrying

that legacy to the end. While Paulswords ring of more eternal goals, we cantake some liberty with them and applythem to our fight. We did not train sothat we could simply go back home aftera long mobilization. We trained to en-dure, to persevere and to finish strong.

Although NMCB 28 is retiring, we stillhave one last fight. We have alreadystarted to make our mark here in Af-ghanistan, and the Ol Pros are knownfor their great work throughout thecountry. Our name will echo on longafter we have left the arena.

We plan on enduring to the last roundand finishing strong.

Why, you may ask?Because, We train how we fight and

fight how we train.

had been conducted at Fort Hunter Liggettalong the Central Coast, where scenariosleverage thesame Army training rangesandnavigation courses usedby NMCBs for fieldtraining. The change in location, driven bybudgetary reductions, forced CECOS staffto redesign each scenario and seek creativetraining alternatives.

The CECOS staff wasableto execute allof the required learning objectives for BasicClass 255 at Point Mugu, while saving the

Navy $25,000 in travel and support costs,said Lt. Cmdr. Jeff Jordan, CECOS SeabeeReadinessDivisiondirector. While theinitialfield training was successfully executed, wewillcontinue to make every effortto improveour tactical realism in orderto enhance eachstudents training.

CECOS Basic Class student, Chief War-rant Officer John Desarro, said he liked thechange.

Having theurban training facilityat PointMugu made doing patrols in a real-time en-vironmentmore realistic,hesaid.The train-ing obtained at Point Mugu gives the newofficersa realisticviewof what NMCBs dealwith in urban environments.

TheFTX is strategically placed withinthe

CECOS curriculum to give newly commis-sionedCEC officersandlateraltransfers thechanceto perform andexecute skillslearnedin the classroom, such as establishing camp,conductingpatrols, leading convoys,operat-ingthecombat operationscenter, andmissionplanningto execute engineer reconnaissanceoperations.

Repairs have begun on the weakenedcanopy that forced the closure of the main

ate at Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) Point Mugu.

The gate, located at the intersection ofNaval Air Road and North Mugu Road,has been closed since February.

During an inspection Feb. 25, it wasdetermined that one of the timbers in thedecorative overhang had slipped andposed a safety hazard to passing vehiclesand personnel.

LasPosas Gate then became the NBVCPointMugu main gate, operating 24 hoursand handling commercial traffic andRAPIDGate access. An unused gate at

aval Air Road and Main Road, com-only known as Gate 1, was reopened,ith hours of 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday

hrough Friday except for federal holi-

days.Due to a lack of funding for the repair,

the gate at Mugu Road has remainedclosed. At the very end of Fiscal Year2013, money became available to contractout the repairs.

Currently, work is under way to abatethe danger of asbestos and lead paint inthe old canopy structure. Once it is safeto do so, the old canopy and guard shackwill be demolished and a new structureerected.

NMCB 3 Seabees joined engi-neersfrom Timor-Lestes DefenseForce (F-DTL), the U.S. MarineCorps and the Australian De-fence Forces (ADF) Royal Aus-tralian Engineers (RAE) corps tobuild a three-classroom schoolbuilding, an eight-stall commu-nity bathroom, an outdoor kitch-en facility, a playground, a bas-ketball courtand several hundredmeters of fencing as part of the28-day Sapper 13 exercise.

To have a tri-nation exercisewhere the people of Timor-Leste

receive the benefits and to seeother nations working and learn-ing from each other is what mis-

sion success is about, said ADFWarrant Officer Bill Fry, a 19-year RAE veteran and the officer

in charge of Sapper 13.Planning for the exercise began

a year ago. This is the first timethe three countries have cometogether to perform civic con-struction in East Timor. Theunited effort increases both read-iness and presence well past the

shoreline.Sapper 13 resonates through-

out the Metinaro community,whichwill now be able to provideformal education to more than300 additional children thanks tothe new school house.

Additionally, the completedprojectswillprovide accommoda-tions for F-DTL soldiers andtheir families currently stationedin the small community 45 min-utes east of Dili, the countryscapital.

According to Equipment Op-erator Constructionman JosephMadley, the multinational crosstraining and ability to provide alasting, positive impact satisfiesa dream hes fostered since boot

camp.This is what I envisioned when

I joined the Seabees, said Mad-ley. Working side-by-side withother militaries to improve thelives of people around the world its a dream come true for me,and this is only my first deploy-

ment.At the shoreline of countries

such as Timor-Leste and otherPacific island nations, Seabeesstand ready withcritical construc-tion equipment and specializedskillsets that allow them to liter-ally move mountains. During anatural disaster, they can providehumanitarian assistance to anynation suffering from the annualonslaught of typhoons, hurri-canes and tsunamis.

In this disaster-prone area oftheworld, thelocal islandnationscan expect a yearly bill of rough-ly $278 million in storm damage placing exercises like Sapper13 into a critical level of impor-tance.

OKINAWA, Japan Moments aftercompleting a 48-hour exercise last monthin which Naval Mobile Construction Bat-

talion (NCMB) 3 successfully demon-strated its ability to provide humanitar-ian assistance anywhere in the PacificRegion, six volunteers traded their dirtywork uniforms for Navy workout clothesand helped more than 50 Japanese seniorcitizens get ready to party.

The volunteers helped a handful ofJapanese contractors at the Hijigawa NoSato Home for Senior Citizens build acelebration area to enjoy this years FallFestival, an annual party to welcome Au-tumn to Okinawa.

For Utilitiesman 2nd Class Ann Lar-son, the opportunity to help Hijigawaresidents offered a chance to make up forlost time with her deceased grandmoth-er.

I was very tired the exercise had uson non-stop rotating shifts, said Larson.

When I was walking back to my room,I remembered how often my grandmoth-er would say how bored she would get.Being a Seabee and either deployed ortraining, I didnt get a chance to spend

much time with her. Giving back to thecommunity here in Okinawa was a chanceto do for others what I couldnt do forher. I think she would have liked that.

Each volunteer lifted their weight inchairs and tables as they helped five Oki-nawan contractors transform an outdoorparking area into a festive location to eatand relax. The team had only a few hoursSept. 27 to prepare, making the volunteersan essential part of the process.

When I was talking to the contrac-tors, said Shoji Kudaka, an Okinawanative and community relations coordina-tor for Commander, Fleet Activities Oki-nawa, they said the Seabees help washuge. They were able to carry more tablesand chairsthan them, which helped speedeverything up. The volunteers were verymotivated.

Capt. Burt Espe, commander of NavalSurface Warfare Center, Port HuenemeDivision (NSWC PHD), kicked off the fallsemesters Pre-Engineering Program Oct.8 with students representing 10 local highschools.

There is a lotof hope andexpectationsof your generation, said Espe. You aretheones carrying us into thefuture. Joiningthis program is thefirst step towards achiev-inga long andsuccessful careerin engineer-ing and carrying on the work started bycurrent industry leaders.

Established in 1998, the Pre-EngineeringProgram is the result of a founding partner-ship between the command and OxnardUnion High School District. The partner-ship has since expanded to include schoolsfrom Ventura Unified School District. Ap-proximately 850 students have completedthe program over the past 15 years.

While speaking to the students, Espeexplained the importance of engineeringto the Navy, specifically the role of NSWCPHD, which is located at Naval Base Ven-tura County.

There is a very big engineering arm ofthe services that deals primarily with in-novation and technology, he said. Ourcommand does a lot of hefty engineeringfor the Navy getting an idea, transferringitintoan idea or capabilityand then bring-ing it forward to an application aboard

ships and submarines. We arethe guys that

make sure ships are functioning properlywhile thinking up better ways to getthe jobdone better and more cost efficiently.

The Pre-Engineering Program is one ofseveral NSWC PHD outreach programsbegun since the commands inception in1963. This course is designed to providelocal high school students the opportunityto apply math and scienceconcepts in real-world scenarios. Through instruction on avariety of engineering disciplines, such as

mechanical and electrical engineering, stu-dents learn how engineering principles areapplied in real-life situations.

Students meeton base every Tuesday for12 weeks followingtheirregularschool day.Each weeks course is taught by a Navycivilian engineer who is a subject matterexpert in a particular engineering disci-pline.

At the end of the semester, participantsreceive certificates of achievement and let-ters of recommendation for college appli-

cations.

There they were, just Scott and a Germanshepherd playing catch, the man telling the dogto give chase, the dog obeying with a waggingtail and bringing back a toy with that Do itagain, please! look in his eye.

Minutes later, there they were, just Master at

Arms 1st Class Scott Chilko and Military Work-ing Dog Jake playing catch, the man telling thedog to give chase, the dog obeying with a vicioussnarl and bringing down a suspect with thatDo it again, I dare you! look in his eye.

Watching the transformation were six youngmen boys, actually, just 15 to 18 years old.They stood behind a locked gate, and what wasgoing through their minds was anyones guess.Remembering a family pet? Recalling their ownarrest? They didnt let on as they stood quietlybut intently, taking in the adrenaline-fueled

scenes playing out in front of them.The Religious Ministries Team at Naval Base

Ventura County had arranged for this militaryworking dog demonstration at the VenturaCounty Juvenile Detention Facility in Oxnard,where minors serve out their sentences. Onweekdays, the teenagers attend ProvidenceSchool on the facilitys grounds. Religious Min-istries has had a longstanding partnership withthe school, bringing presents at the holidaysand providing guest speakers throughout theyear.

The kids enjoy having the Navy come, saidMollie Ruble, a senior deputy probation officer.Weve always had great success; the kids havebeen interested in what theyve had to say. Thisis something different, something theyve neverdone before.

Chilko agreed that these six boys and theseven others seeing the next demonstration

would benefit.As long as theyve earned the right to attend

some extra-curricular activities, I think this isa good thing, Chilko said, adding that he hopedthe demonstration would spur an interest in acareer they might never have thought of be-fore.

Chilko was joined by Master at Arms 1stClass Michael Langehennig, Master at Arms3rd Class Kendahl Peterson and Master atArms 3rd Class Bernardo Negron-Rodriguez.They brought Military Working Dogs Yago,

Pali, Tara and Jake.Canines can be trained to detect explosives,

drugs, cash, weapons, cell phones, corpses, evenbedbugs. Military working dogs are deployedto war zones and disaster areas; Jake, for ex-ample, has been to Honduras, Iraq and Af-ghanistan.

Hes a really good dog, Chilko told theboys.

The demonstration took place Sunday, Oct.6, in a central grassy courtyard. The boys stoodin an enclosed outdoor patio area, guards be-

hind them.Chilko and Negron-Rodriguez acted out a

scene in which Chilko asked the suspect foridentification, then commanded Jake to givechase when Negron-Rodriguez turned andran.

Thats 80 pounds of pure adrenaline comingat you, Chilko said. It feels like someones

hitting you with a baseball bat.It was no surprise, then, that Negron-Rodri-

guez fell down as Jake flew into him like a bul-let. The dog tore into the padded sleeve Negron-Rodriguez wore for protection and held the mandown until Chilko ordered a release.

That dog has 42 teeth, Chilko said as a sidenote not that anyone was interested in count-ing.

During training, the suspect wears eitherthe padded sleeve or a full-body attack suit.

Bill Stewart wore the full-body suit. The boys

grinned and laughed as their supervising dep-uty probation officer was fitted into it. But theirreaction was more sober, more awed, as theywatched a man they knew be knocked to theground by a snarling canine teeth bared, spitflying.

It was pretty cool, Stewart said afterwardsas Chilko and Peterson helped him squirm outof the padding. They are powerful animals. Ididnt mean to fall down, but even someonewho weighs 400 pounds would go over.

Stewart owns a 9-year-old boxer that weighs

about 55 pounds.He doesnt have that kind of energy,

with a laugh.The boys also watched Pali at 3, jus

find ingredients to explosives hiddea cone. Chilko had them pick whichseven cones would contain the ingrediesniffed each one, then, on high alert a

back, laid down next to the correct ostared at it.

Peterson let out a joyous whoop, andecstatic.

Chilko explained that the dogs arewith positive reinforcement.

We never hit our dogs, he said.One boy asked if pit bulls could be

as military working dogs.You can try, but theyre hard-h

Chilko explained. They always thinkdominant. Theyre hard to train becau

think theyre in charge.Another boy asked if dog bites are fWhere we teach them to bite ar

extremities theyre not fatal, Chilswered.

There was one question Chilko didnthe answer to, but it was the one he wasfor.

The demonstration hadnt even starbut the boy was curious.

Can I do what you do, he asked ChiI have a felony on my record?

Life hasa way of throwingus curve balls,

andyou cannotgo throughlifewithout fac-ng the occasional uphill struggles.When this happens, couples can choose

o engage in constructive and healthy wayso attack the problem, or one or both peo-le may choose instead to attack the

other person. Name-calling, blaming, de-ensiveness, raised voices, threats, evenhysical violence can result. Words can be

said that cannotbe taken back. Actions canbe taken that cannot be undone.

Left unaddressed and without interven-

tion, the relationship often deteriorates asthe unhealthy behaviors increase in sever-ity and frequency. Couples can quickly gofrom wanting to see their partner happyandwantingto do nice thingsfortheirpart-nerto feeling so unheard, undervalued andhurt by their partnerthat they may no lon-ger want to do or say nice things to the

other, may hurt their partner in return ortry and leave the relationship.

Ultimately, when one or both of thepeople in the relationship engages in un-healthy forms of problem-solving, the re-sulting behavior or actions can becomeabusive.

Some couples become caught in the

cycleof abuse, going from thecalm phase,where everything is goingfine and everyoneis getting along, to the tension-buildingphase, when a problem or stressor arises.During this phase, the abuser may becomeangry and there may be a breakdown incommunication. The partner begins walk-ingon eggshellsand becomes uneasyaboutwhat may happen next. Next comes theexplosive phase, where any type of abuseoccurs physical, emotional, sexual, ver-bal. This is often followed by the honey-

moon phase, where the abuser apologizes,blames the partner for the abuse, minimiz-es it or deniesit even happened.The couplethen begins the cycle again.

Some who are in this cycle find it verydifficult to get out, no matter how badlythey may want to. They may nothave any-where to go,they may have limited financial

means, family may be faraway or they may

lack other forms of support. They may havechildren, or their spouse may have threat-ened harm to them or others if they try toleave.

This is why it is so important for friends,loved ones, co-workers and even acquain-tances to speak up andnot remain silent ifthey are awarethatsomeoneis in an abusiverelationship.

This is why the Navywide campaign thisyear for Domestic Violence AwarenessMonth is Silence Hides Violence. There

are resources available to offer assistance,and often it can be kept confidential.

So please, if you or someone you knowisin an abusive relationship, call an advocateat the Fleet & Family Support Center atNavalBase Ventura County. You can speakconfidentially to Laura Hanson at 805-982-4117 or Rosie Flores at 805-982-3788.

And then they get to eat it.Rebecca Rovinsky, the program lead

at the center, located in the CatalinaHeights military housing complex, saidabout 15 elementary school studentstake part in the weekly cooking club.

They learn how to make something

that uses healthy ingredients, she ex-plained. We experiment with differentflavors.

On a recent Monday, the youngstersmade fruit salad. Using plastic utensils,half of them chopped up the fruit whilethe others measured out ingredients fora dressing.

The fruit red and green grapes,watermelon, blueberries, honeydew,apples and cantaloupe got a thumbsup.

The dressing made of honey, limeand mint not so much.

Some suggested adding more fruit tothe salad, like strawberries.

Id make it with pineapple, said Em-

ily Strohschein, the daughter of NavyCounselor 1st Class Kurt Strohscheinof Fleet Logistics Support Squadron

(VR) 55.One youngster suggested bananas,

which ended up being the perfect seguefor the following week. On the menu:chocolate-dipped bananas.

ing.Masshas not beensaid on base

since the shutdown because theRomanCatholic priest is a govern-

ent contractor, not an active-uty chaplain. About 175 people

ho regularly attend Mass atBVC Port Huenemes SeabeeChapel and NBVC Point MugusChapel of Faith worshipped out-side the gates Oct. 6 and Oct. 13,said Lt. Cmdr. Jeffrey Han, com-

and chaplain.Han said there is a shortage of

Roman Catholic priests in theilitary and that having a govern-ent contractor in that position

s not unusual.

He said most churchgoersearned of the Oct. 6 cancellationhrough word of mouth or via ahone tree. The information wasot posted on Facebook in time

or that service because theNBVCPublic Affairs Office had beenurloughed; the office is nowback

to full staffing and word of theOct.13 cancellationhas since beenposted.

The U.S. Navy Seabee Museumis still closed. The facility is oper-ated by the U.S. Naval History &Heritage Command, whose em-ployees remained furloughed dur-

ing the shutdown.About 2,000 federal civiliansaffected by the lapse in appro-priations work at NBVC. Morethan 90 percent of them all butfire and police personnel and oth-ers whose missions were deemedessential to the life, health andsafety of the Fleet, Fighter andFamily were furloughed whenCongress did not approve a fund-ing mechanismby Oct. 1, thestart

of the new fiscal year.Some federal workers includ-

ing Morale, Welfare and Recre-ation (MWR) employees stayedon the job because they are paidthrough a differentfunding mech-anism that is not dependent oncongressional budget approval.

For more information on this, seethe Ask the Captain column onPage 2.

Also unaffected were those em-ployees working in an organiza-tion operating with workingcapital funds, such as Naval AirWarfareCenterWeaponsDivision

(NAWCWD) and Naval SurfaceWarfare Center, Port HuenemeDivision (NSWC PHD). Accord-ing to the Office of PersonnelManagements website, Guid-ance directs that working capital(revolving) fundactivities will con-tinue under normal operationssupporting customer orders, sub-ject to the availabilityof sufficientfund balances and, as such, thoseemployees are not subject to fur-

loughactions.Essentially, as longas NAWCWD and NSWC PHDhave money in their workingcap-ital funds, they can continue tooperate.

While other federal employeesremained furloughed, most whowork for the Department of De-

fense were ordered back Oct. 7because they were deemed neces-sary to support active-duty mili-tary personnel, whom PresidentBarack Obama had exemptedfrom any government shutdown.

Among them were commissaryworkers, and that was good news

for Adrian Gonzalez, who stocksMission and Guerrero brands atRalphs, Vons and otherlocalmar-kets. He wasbusy replenishing thecommissary shelves Oct. 7.

Thisis a great account for us,he said of thecommissary. Itwasa big deficit to have it closed.


Tiffany Salazar, foreground, and her mom, Tammy Brashear, shop at thecommissary at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, Tuesday,Oct. 1, its last day of operation due to the partial federal governmentshutdown. Salazars husband, Michael, is an Army recruiter, and thefamily was stocking up, not knowing how long the store would be closed.It reopened Monday, Oct. 7.
