Question: I would like to see an archery range returnto Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu. There is somuch land here, and archery leaves no waste, such as lead,brass or paintballs. Unlike paintball, archery requires noobstacles to leave behind — just flat land with no currentuse. Currently there is no place for people to train or teach.There has been a spike in archery sales since the OlympicSummer Games and the movies “The Hunger Games”and “Brave.” If there are 50 yards of flat land anywherewe should immediately designate it an archery area. Nostudies, boards, meetings or evaluations are needed — justa sign that says, “Clean up after yourself and no shootingwild animals.” Thank you.

Answer: Thank you for your interest in an archeryrange at Naval Base Ventura County. I loved “The HungerGames,” but setting up an archery range is not as simple asjust finding 50 yards of flat space and putting out a call forarchery enthusiasts.As you pointed out, archery ranges do not require ob-

stacles. They do require targets, backstops, safety measures,monitoring and upkeep. The U.S. Navy requires that any

recreational archery range ensure that all targets are prop-erly backstopped and that shooting stations are at least 16.5feet apart and aligned to the designated target in accor-dance with BUPERSINST 1710.11C, 1915 (a) and MilitaryHandbook 1037/3, 6.1 (c) and Figure 55a.Additionally, warning signs must be posted and non-

participants must be kept away from the firing range. It isrecommended that the range be supervised at all times, andthat an on-duty range official check all equipment prior touse.With grounds maintenance, this adds up to both a lot of

equipment and regulatory concerns in addition to manpow-er and training issues — before we even begin to examinethe environmental impact and risk to the endangered andthreatened species that inhabit our facility. In the currentfiscal climate, funding to support an archery range is alow priority. If interest remains high, we will re-examine asfunding allows.Keep the questions and feedback coming! You can sub-

mit via this forum at [email protected], online using theCO’s Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty.

Can Point Mugu get its archery range back?

Accompanied by Brigadier Gen. JohnC. Hanley, program manager of the Fa-cilities Security Forces inRiyadh, the com-manding general of Saudi Arabia’s Fa-cilities Security Forces visited the Centerfor Seabees and Facilities Engineering(CSFE) at Naval Base Ventura County,Port Hueneme, Friday, April 19.Major General Saad Mohammed al

Majed and five members of his team metwith CSFE leaders to discuss how theavailable training can best meet the needsof Saudi students.The delegation is visiting several mili-

tary training centers in the United States,including theNaval Post Graduate Schoolin Monterey, the U.S. Army EngineerSchool in Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., andthe National Defense University and Na-tional War College in Washington, D.C.Capt. Kevin Brown, commanding of-

ficer of CSFE and the Civil EngineerCorps Officer School (CECOS), and Lt.Cmdr.Nathan Paukovits, executive officer,provided the delegation a brief overviewof the 156 courses offered and focused thediscussion around the CECOS’Basic Of-ficer Qualification Course. This course

currently has one Saudi student in atten-dance and will have two in the next offer-ing, which begins in June.The 16-week Basic Course was created

duringWorldWar II and will graduate its254th class in May. Its goal is to orientnew officers to their role as Civil EngineerCorps (CEC) officers in the Navy and theDepartment of Defense and to providethe foundation to be immediately effectiveupon assuming the duties of their firstbillet. All students in the course have an

engineering or architecture college degrees.The course teaches students how to suc-cessfully apply their knowledge and skillsto be effective leaders in both peacetimeand warfighting environments.“It used to be much shorter — two to

four weeks — but it has since been ex-panded to include all facets of what CECofficers do,” Paukovits explained.Brown and Paukovits discussed with the

Atotal of 360 poundswas lost during the10-weekBiggest Loser program at the Bee-Fit Wellness Center at Naval Base VenturaCounty, Port Hueneme.Thewinner of the contest, Rebecca Pine-

do, lost more than 15 percent of herweight.What made this event different than the

previous competitionswas the requirementthat everyone showup to aweeklyworkout.Anyone who didn’t was dinged $5 unlessprior arrangements had been made.“I think it worked pretty well,” said Ra-

monaPagel, fitnessmanager atNBVCand

the organizer of the event. “People had tobe accountable to not only weigh in everyweek, but also to keep their appointmentwith a fitness instructor. That was motiva-tion to keep working.”A total of 29 people started the contest

and 17 stuck with it to the end.ChristinaMartinez came in second, losing

13.76percentof herweight, andEstelaMar-tinez came in third, losing 13.45 percent.Pagel said many of the contestants now

have a steady workout routine.“They’re less fearful of the gym and feel

they can continue to pursue their fitness

goals,”she said. “This is justwhat the contestshould be.”Pagel charged everyone $50 to register.

Everyone paid $1 at everyweeklyweigh-in,an extra $1 if their weight stayed the sameand a $1 penalty for each pound gained.Therewas a $3 penalty formissing aweigh-in, as well as the $5 penalty for missing aworkout.Those figures added up. The first-place

winner took home $944.75, second placegarnered $661.25, and third place earned$283.50.The contest ended April 15.

Seven women who admittedthey knew very little about theircars learnedhow to change theirown oil and perform a vehicleinspection during a recent in-termediate-level Miss Fix-Itclass put onby theFleet&Fam-ily Support Center (FFSC).The classwas held at theAuto

SkillsCenter atNaval BaseVen-turaCounty (NBVC)PortHue-neme,where theyworked on theundercarriage of a car on a ve-hicle lift.With help fromKenWernau,

manager of theAutoSkillsCen-ter, FFSC Work and FamilyLife Consultant Brittany Bar-ton, who grew up working oncars, showed thewomen how tooperate the lift, find the oil pan,line up the oil drain pan, use anoil filter wrench and take outthe drain plug.“You can go to any auto parts

store and someone can help youfind the right oil filter,” she ex-plained. “You want to replacethe filter every time your changeyour oil.”The Miss Fix-It classes are

designed to help people learnmore about their cars, becomemore confident about workingon them, and save money bydoing basicmaintenance them-selves.The basics class, held in the

parking lot outside the FFSC,

goes over the critical parts of anengine; how to change a tire,headlight, taillight and wind-shieldwipers; and how to checkfluid levels, including the oil.The intermediate class covers

the oil change and how to checkfor uneven tire wear and dam-age to the undercarriage.LeanneMiller, who’s expect-

ing her first child with husbandEngineeringAide 1st ClassDa-vidMiller of theNavalFacilitiesEngineering andExpeditionaryWarfare Center, said she mightchange her own oil at somepoint in the future, but notnow.“Maybe later in life I will,”

she said. “But even if I never do,

I understand what it takes andI’m better educated about myvehicle.”

Local news has been filled with re-ports about the possibility thatOrmondBeach wetlands could be submergedand Port Hueneme’s Surfside Drivecould be lost at sea during the next se-ries of winter storms.That’s because Port Hueneme Beach

Park received only a fraction of the 1.2million yards of sand it typically re-ceives from the sand trap in ChannelIslands Harbor every other year.Local author Cherie Brant has writ-

ten a book titled “Shifting Sands”aboutthe early history (1960-1985) of Chan-nel IslandsHarbor, and will be present-ing an illustrated lecture as the featuredspeaker at a free meeting at 2 p.m. Sun-day,May 5, in Prueter Library, 510 ParkAve., Port Hueneme.Jon Sharkey, a councilman for the

city of Port Hueneme who recently re-turned from Washington, D.C., afterlobbying the Army Corps of Engineersfor more sand, will be on hand to an-swer questions.

Moving to a new school in a new statemeansnew friends andnewroutines.Unfor-tunately, it can also sometimesmeangaps inlearningor relearning the samematerial froma previous school.Common Core State Standards (CCSS)

will help to eliminate such difficulties com-mon tomilitary-connected students.TheCCSS initiative is a state-ledeffort that

establishes a single set of clear educationalstandards for kindergarten through 12thgrade in English, language arts and mathe-matics that states voluntarily adopt. Thestandardsaredesignedtoensure thatstudentsgraduating fromhigh school areprepared toenter credit-bearing courses in two- or four-year collegeprogramsorenter theworkforce.The standardsare clearandconcise toensurethat parents, teachers and students have aclear understanding of the expectations inreading,writing, speakingand listening, lan-guage andmathematics in school.So far, 45 states, theDistrict of Columbia,

four territories and the Department of De-fense Education Activity have adopted theCCSS. Therefore, many school districtsaround military installations will be imple-menting CCSS over the next few years. The

states, including California, that have ad-opted CCSS are home to approximately 80percent of all military-connected children.Prior to the adoption of CCSS, each state

haditsownprocess todevelopandimplementacademic standards or expectations. Thisautonomycausedagreatdeal of disparity incontent, rigor and standards from one stateto another. For the military-connected stu-dent, this disparity often resulted in studentsnot having prerequisite skills or knowledgeor having to repeat content when they tran-sitioned.All studentsneedtobepreparedforsuccess

in college or the workplace, wherever theirpost-secondary endeavors take them. Allstudents are entitled toahigh-quality educa-tion nomatter where they live. All students,especially our mobile military-connectedstudents, should know that standards andexpectations for academic excellence will beconsistent as theymove.TheCommonCore State Standardswere

written by building on the best and higheststate standards in existence in the UnitedStates, examining the expectations of otherhigh-performing countries around theworldand careful study of the research and litera-tureavailableonwhat studentsneed toknowand be able to do to be successful in collegeandcareers.Nostate in thecountrywasaskedto lower their expectations for their studentsin adopting the Common Core. The stan-dardsareevidence-based,alignedwithcollegeandwork expectations and include rigorouscontent.Theyweredeveloped inconsultationwith teachers and parents from across thecountry, so they are also realistic andpracti-cal for the classroom.High standards that are consistent across

states provide teachers, parents and studentswith a set of clear expectations that are

aligned to the expectations in college andcareers. The standards promote equity byensuring all students, no matter where theylive, are well prepared with the skills andknowledgenecessary tocollaborateandcom-petewith their peers in theUnitedStates andabroad.Unlike previous state standards, which

wereunique to every state in the country, theCommon Core State Standards enable col-laborationbetween statesona rangeof toolsandpolicies, including the development andimplementationof commoncomprehensiveassessment systems tomeasure student per-formance annually that will replace existingstate testing system.The CCSS is a step in the right direction

formilitary-connectedstudents.Local schooldistrictsarecurrentlyplanningandbeginningthe implementation process. Over the nextcouple of years, students moving to newschools should begin to feel more consis-tency between the schools’ academic stan-dards and learning goals.— For more information about any K-12related question, please contact the NBVCschool liaison officer at 805-989-5211 oremail [email protected].

PRD. PCS. HHG. PSD.These terms in the Navy are associ-

ated with the reality that our job is oneof constant change and adjustment, notonly on a professional level, but also atthe family level.In a few weeks, my family will begin

the journey to our next duty station. Forevery new chapter to begin, an old onemust close.As we prepare to bid farewell to Naval

Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)3, I am reflecting on the impact the Sea-bee community has had on me person-ally and professionally.Chaplains are trained to meet the

needs of both the Fleet and the Marines.However, upon checking into NMCB 3,I quickly discovered that Seabees andtheir families are unique, and their ex-peditionary mentalities create a cultureall their own.As I adapted to this culture, I began

to identify key themes that make up theheart of this community. In short, Sea-bees are incredibly motivated, resource-ful and resilient.

“Motivated”My job provides me the privilege of

meeting face-to-face with every Sailorwho checks in to the command. Duringthese meetings, we discuss the role ofthe chaplain’s office, and I point eachSailor toward essential resources. How-ever, the main function of these meet-

ings is to connect personally to eachtroop.When listening to their story and life

journey, I am able to catch moments ofpassion and emotion often connectedwith excitement about getting on a proj-ect and making a difference in the lifeof a person, family or community.I have found that Seabees are extreme-

ly motivated to employ their unique skillset in support of hearts and minds mis-sions.

“Resourceful”During our last deployment to Euro-

pean and African Commands, I wassurprised at how our unit received “lastminute” tasking (at least, to my limitedperspective) and amazed at how quick-ly and efficiently the battalion was ableto plan, man and deploy to accomplish

the assigned mission.I learned that while there are specific

guidelines that leadership and troopsmust adhere to, within those limits any-thing is possible. Regardless of obstaclesor unexpected difficulties, I witnesseddetail after detail adapt and overcome.Seabees are creatively resourceful and

dedicated to mission accomplishment,living up to their motto of “Can Do!”

“Resilient”What has impacted me the most,

though, has been walking with troopsas they navigate not only the pressuresof their profession, but also the chal-lenges that come with balancing theirpersonal lives, too.During my time with NMCB 3, I of-

fered guidance and care to countlesstroops as they managed the spectrumof life circumstances while still remain-ing locked in and focused on their task-ing, understanding that their crew orshop was relying on them to do theirpart.Seabees are powerfully resilient and

capable of managing a higher degree ofstress than most of their peers.I count it a great blessing to have wit-

nessed, first hand, these overarchingqualities of the Seabee community, andI will forever count myself as a chaplainto the Seabees wherever I find myself inthe fleet.Hoorah, 3! Hoorah, Seabees!

Eight teams with four golferseach took part in the April 12Navy-Marine Corps Relief So-ciety (NMCRS) Annual FundDrive tournament at the SeabeeGolf Course, Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) Port Hue-neme.The tournament netted more

than $400 for the organizationthat provides emergency finan-cial help and budgeting assis-tance for active duty Sailors,Marines and their families.Seven NMCRS volunteers

helped during the tournament,checking people in, placingsigns on carts and performingother much-needed duties.Final figures on how much

money was raised during thefund drive won’t be availableuntil later in the month, butorganizers said they werepleased with the overall re-sults.“From the response we’ve

had in raising funds and orga-

nizing events, I can attest thehearts and minds of the Sailorsand Marines in the VenturaCounty area are in the rightplace,” said Lt. Daniel Monte-ith of the Naval Supply FleetLogistics Center, this year’s co-ordinator for the fund drive.“There is definitely a greaterlevel of knowledge aroundNBVC of what NMCRS is allabout, and that means we haveachieved the first goal of thisfund drive, which is to raiseawareness.”

Ask a junior high school stu-dent what he’s doing this weekendand chances are he’s not going tosay, “I’m going tomake a disasterkit!”TheAmericanRedCross hopes

that just once — just for a fewhours — that kid will change hismind.A Red Cross crew from Ven-

tura County recently visited theMilitaryKids Club at E.O.GreenJunior High School in Oxnard tostress the importance of disasterpreparedness.Fires, flash floods, earthquakes

— they discussed all of them interms of what to do, where to goand, most of all, how to be pre-pared if one happens.Meg Tracy, a preparedness co-

ordinator from the Santa Bar-

bara office, led the workshopwhile Judy Stahl and Curt Baker,volunteer coordinators for theRed Cross Service to the ArmedForces program, looked on.“What goes in a disaster kit?”

Tracy asked the students.She had pictures of different

items that the youngsters couldadd or leave out.A basketball? No.High heels? A pair of sturdy

shoes would be better.An iPod? How would you

charge it if it ran out of batter-ies?A dog’s leash?That stopped them cold.“It would kill me if I couldn’t

bring my pet,” one student said.The dog’s leash stayed, as did

dog food and a bowl.The group talked about the

need for non-perishable foods, a

radio and a first-aid kit.A can opener?“I can’t think of anything

worse than opening up a disasterkit and there’s all these cans offood and no can opener,” Tracysaid.A teddy bear?They agreed that a young child

might need one.“It’s a comfort item,” Tracy

explained. “You’ve got to thinkabout not only surviving, but alsowhat’s going to keep you com-fortable. It might be good to add,but it’s not a necessity.”Stahl said junior high school is

a perfect time to start talkingabout disaster preparedness.“They’re at a good point where

they can start taking responsibil-ity,” she said of this age group.“They might need to help ayounger brother or sister. They

need to think about that.”It’s especially important for

children in a military family, shesaid.“With deployments, it’s quite

possible there’s only one parenthome for long stretches at a time,”Stahl said. “It’s not too early forthese kids to get started thinkingabout what they would do if

something happened.”Military Kids Club is orga-

nized by the Fleet & Family Sup-port Center and is set up at sev-eral schools. For moreinformation, call 982-5037.For more information on Red

Cross disaster preparednessworkshops, call Stahl at 322-2677.

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)Emergency Manager Brian Edsingerknows the Tsunami Hazard Zone signshe’s placed around the installation aregetting a lot of attention.That’s the point.“Pretty much all of NBVC sits in a tsu-

nami hazard zone,”Edsinger said. “Mak-ing people aware of the danger is the firststep in preparing them to respond.”Edsinger launched an effort to get

NBVC certified as Tsunami Ready by theNationalWeather Service (NWS) as a wayto improve the installation’s emergencyresponse planning. After beginning theprocess, he decided to push for StormReady certification as well.“It’s just a few more steps to get Storm

Ready certified, and it will be useful forthe command during emergencies,” Eds-inger said.According to the National Weather

Service, 90 percent of all presidentiallydeclared disasters are weather-related,accounting for nearly 500 deaths and $14billion in damage annually in the United

States. Storm Ready communities areconsidered to be better prepared for di-saster thanks to planning, awareness andeducation efforts.Preparing for StormReady certification

involves making sure a community has avariety of communication tools and emer-

gency plans in place.“It’s essentially a checklist. It’s more

about seeing what you have and what youneed, then filling those gaps,” Edsingersaid.Communication is critical in any emer-

gency, so it is also a key piece of StormReady certification. NBVC’s has myriadcommunication tools, ranging from desk-top and telephone notification systemsto social media outlets like Facebook andTwitter.The facility is also working to revitalize

the use of the 1610 AM radio station,previously used for special event an-nouncements, as an emergency commu-nication tool. Currently, the broadcastcan be heard at Point Mugu but not atPort Hueneme, due to an antenna issue.Eventually, the facility will be covered

by an outdoor broadcasting system calledGiant Voice, which will serve to notifyresidents of emergency situations or re-quired evacuations. In the interim, policeand fire personnel have plans in place touse loudspeakers to accomplish the samemission.As part of the certification process,

Edsinger and NBVC’s duty officers tookpart in spotter training with NWS. Spot-ters are the “eyes and ears” for the baseandNWS during weather-based emergen-cies or tsunamis. They’re trained to lookat the signs of severe weather and makereports that help NWS and leadershipmake decisions about weather incidentsand emergency response needs.“You see spotters used a lot more in

the Midwest, where tornados are a bigconcern,” Edsinger said.“Here, they’re really going to be an as-

set for the command and the emergencyoperations center.Spotters at NBVC are trained to look

for signs of severe weather and oncomingtsunamis.“But whether it’s storms or tsunamis,

public awareness is key. People need toknowwhat the dangers are and know thatwe’re prepared for them,” Edsingersaid.The final step in becoming a certified

Storm Ready/Tsunami Ready commu-nity is an on-site inspection with NWS.Edsinger expects NBVC to become certi-fied later this month.

This late 1960s Chrysler Newport Custom is expected to be sold later this year at a NavalBase Ventura County car lien sale, along with others that have been abandoned at autostorage areas on base.


Two car lien sales took place last monthat Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC),and more are expected as base officialsget rid of automobiles that have beenabandoned at vehicle storage facilities onbase.“It took awhile to make sure we had

the correct procedures that complied withboth Navy regulations and state laws,”explained Ken Wernau, manager of theNBVC Port Hueneme Auto Skills Center,which is operated byMorale,Welfare andRecreation (MWR).But now that everything is in order,

Wernau hopes to clear out some morespace — and bring in more money forthe auto center.The first two sales brought in $1,200.Among the eight cars sold during the

April 8 and April 15 sales were a ChevyImpala for $114 and a Renault Dauphinefor $113. Other cars included an Oldsmo-bile Cutlass, a Honda Passport, a LincolnContinental and a Ford Mustang.Every car, Wernau said, looked

“rough.”“There’s no guarantee they are in work-

ing order,” he explained. “We don’t knowthe condition of the car when we sellit.”The minimum bid on each car is $56

to cover the cost of having a lien com-pany do all the paperwork. Wernau ac-cepts bids, then awards the car to thehighest bidder. So far, only two peoplehave entered bids, but he expects more asword of the sales spreads. The sales areannounced on Facebook, on the NBVC

MWR page.Lien sales aren’t rare; bases in the San

Diego area have several a year, Wernausaid.Wernau has been at the Auto Skills

Center for three years and many carsthere predate him. Currently, Mugu’svehicle lot is full, with 42 cars. The Hue-neme lot has 108 spots and 75 vehicles.“We’ve had cars here five years or

more,”Wernau said.People pay $30 a month to store their

cars, and occasionally they come in andwork on them.“They’re ‘project cars,’” he explained.But others are owned by people who

haven’t made a payment in years. Thosevehicles are the ones that are now goingsomeplace else.Legally, the owner must be 45 days in

arrears before the car can be turned overto a lien company.“We give more time than that because

of deployments,” Wernau said.In some cases, the cars have simply

been abandoned.“There are people who get out of the

military and just don’t want to deal withit,” he said.In some cases, it’s easy to see why.Wernau showed one car that he said

will be on the market soon— a late 1960sChrysler Newport Custom. Once a sleekbeauty, it’s now a sad pile of rust.Wernau wrestled open the door to see

if he could pin down a year near theVIN.“Nope, can’t see anything,” he said,

then shut the door.A cloud of dust flew up.

TBILISI, Georgia — Eigh-teen Seabees from Naval Mo-bile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 4 are spending twomonths in this country north-east of Turkey, constructing alarge bathroom facility to sup-port Exercise Agile Spirit, acombined U.S. Marine Corpsand Georgian Army exercise.The Georgian Army is the

largest non-NATO contribu-tor of troops in Afghanistanand Iraq and has been par-ticipating in this exercise forseveral years. As home to the4th Georgian Infantry Bri-gade, the base in Tbilisi servesas the main training facilityfor incoming Army troops and

has a satellite camp wheretroops go to participate in theexercise.The Seabees were tasked

with constructing a 30-manhead facility adjacent to thatsatellite camp. It is a 27-by-58-foot cinder block buildingwith 30 toilets, a corrugated

steel roof, lighting and radiantheaters.Arriving with half the

equipment needed, the Sea-bees have kept busy as theywait for the remainder of thematerials to arrive. They havestarted to construct the truss-es for the facility, grubbed and

graded the construction siteand set batter boards.“I’m excited to start on the

project, especially in the envi-ronment we get to be in,” saidBuilder ConstructionmanStormie Schauer. “We have agood group that works welltogether. Even while we’reworking we’re communicatingand having fun. It feels goodto be out here putting ourskills to use and doing whatwe’ve been trained to do.”Headed by Lt. j.g. Doug

tura Harbor, but when she found out how many volunteers the Navy was bringing, she reassigned them to their very own beach about a mile away.

“We really appreciate them coming out and giving back to a community they’re only visiting,” the coordinator, Rosie Or-nelas, said of the Pinckney crew. “I’m so proud of our military.”

The crew members arrived about 8 a.m. and formed a Foreign Object Damage Line at one end of the beach. They marched down the sand, picking up every little piece of garbage and wood they could find. Only dead animals — and there were several seagulls — were left behind.

They had some extra incentive: Nich-olson had promised 96 hours of liberty to the three-person team whose garbage bag weighed the most at the end of the cleanup.

Chief Aviation Boatswain’s Mate Air-craft Handling Michael Panaccione walked backwards in the sand, calling the line forward. He quickly noticed the dif-ference between leading a FOD Line on

a flight deck and one on the beach.“It definitely gave the calves a workout,”

he said afterwards. “But I love helping out and doing my part.”

Once the crewmembers got to the end of the beach, they turned around and did it again.

“We use a FOD Line to find every little bit of stuff on an aircraft carrier that can fly up and damage an aircraft,” Nicholson explained. “This is the same concept. We walked all the way down and all the way back and picked up quite a bit of trash.”

Once they were done, Nicholson had his executive officer look through the bags to make sure they were filled with legiti-

mate garbage — “I don’t want any rocks or sand in there,” he said — then held them up to determine which one weighed the most. He decided there was a three-way tie and gave nine Sailors 96 hours of liberty.

Among them were Gas Turbine System Technician Mechanical Fireman Maria Castro and Gas Turbine System Mechan-ical 3rd Class Katie Jenkins. They both planned to go home — Castro is from San Diego and Jenkins is from Riverside.

Bomba was pleased with the day’s re-sults.

“We had a great turnout, and it was a fun day,” she said. “And it was beautiful weather for this.”

If you didn’t commemorate Earth Day, take a hike — or maybe just a stroll.

Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, features a 1.6-mile self-paced nature walk that starts at Family Beach and ends at the Beach Motel. It’s a great opportunity to perhaps see some wildlife, possibly even some threatened and endangered species.

Stations along the way point out and explain the envi-ronmental importance of nesting sites, estuaries, marine mammals, shorebirds and wetlands.

When taking the walk, remember these key points about dealing with wildlife found on base:

• Stay at least 100 feet away from live marine mam-mals.

• If you discover an injured animal — mammal, reptile or bird — leave it alone and call or leave a message at 805-207-6507.

• You may dispose of any dead reptiles or other non-marine mammals.

• Dogs are allowed only on Family Beach and must be on leash.

• Walking, running, bicycling and other recreational pursuits should take place only along the roadside where it is safe and permitted.

• No boating, kayaking or canoeing is allowed in the lagoon.

Miss Earth Day?Then take a hike

Naval Base Ventura County is located in and near environmentally sensitive areas; therefore, we all need to do our part to ensure our actions are not nega-tively impacting the environment. That piece of paper or cigarette butt you see tossed on the side of the road or in the parking lot can end up in the ocean.

When it rains, storm water washes litter and other pollutants into the storm drains and out into receiv-ing waters. This can be prevented if we all pitch in and take these simple steps to prevent pollution:

• Pick up litter. Make sure your trash makes it into the trash can and not on the ground. Litter should be picked up and disposed of properly, including cigarette butts, which are easily washed into the storm drains and make for unsightly beaches.

• Clean up after pets. When you take your dogs out for a walk, grab a shopping bag and clean up after them.

• Go to a carwash facility. Instead of washing your vehicle in your driveway and watching the soapy wa-ter run out into the storm drain, go to a carwash facility. The runoff is sent to the sewer, where it is treated and does not enter the storm water conveyance system.

Photos by anDrea howry / lighthouseStacy Cruces and other first-graders at Bard Elementary School examine bat specimens during an Earth Day presentation by a Naval Base Ventura County natural resource specialist.

First-graders at Bard Elementary School in Port Hueneme line up in the cafeteria to look at photos of animals found at Naval Base Ventura County during an Earth Day presentation Tuesday, April 23.

Skulls of animals found at Naval Base Ventura County are among the objects on display for Bard Elementary School first-graders.


Dozens of first-graders at Bard Elemen-tary School in Port Hueneme got the rare chance to feel the fur of an elephant seal, get a close-up look at a preserved bat and touch the skulls of coyotes, foxes and other animals found at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) during an Earth Day presentation Tuesday, April 23.

Francesca Ferrara, a natural resource spe-cialist with the Environmental Division at NBVC, set up the display on the cafeteria stage, then spent half an hour discussing the wildlife on base.

“What do you do if you see one of these animals on the beach?” she asked the young-sters, pointing to a photo of an elephant seal.

There was silence, so first-grade teacher Julie Moore helped out.

“Do you touch it? Is it a pet?”“No!” came the response.“That’s right,” Ferrara said, “just walk

away. You can admire it, but don’t go near it.”

Ferrara ran through her job as a biologist, explaining that some days she might rescue a baby bird, on others, conduct a fish sur-vey.

After her presentation, Ferrara invited the children up to the stage so they could get a closer look at the animals she had dis-cussed.

Moore said hands-on presentations like this are important for small children.

“Kids learn from books,” she said. “In their minds, it’s separate from the real world. They don’t make the connection on their own. This brings it all together. It bridges the gap.”

ZAMBALES, Philippines — A com-bined team of Philippine and U.S. Armyengineers has completed construction onthree different projects for barangayManggahan in the Palauig Municipali-ty.Supported by volunteers from the local

community, the combined team built anew community center, renovated a daycare building and installed a new ferrocement water tank designed to provide areliable water source for the entire baran-gay.The new construction is one of seven

engineering civic action projects (ENCAP)completed during Balikatan 2013.“A development like this is very rare,”

Palauig Municipality Mayor GenerosoAmog said during the community center’sofficial opening. “Our barangay will beforever changed because of this. Thankyou so much for your sacrifices. We cher-ish all you have done for us and will re-member you for the rest of our lives.”During the ribbon-cutting ceremony,

Capt. Rod Moore, commander of theJoint CombinedCivilMilitaryOperationsTask Force (JCMOTF), commented onthe invaluable support the barangay gaveto the team of engineers.“This project allowed us to get to know

each other in the community,”saidMoore,who’s with Naval Construction Group 1,homeported atNaval Base Ventura Coun-ty, Port Hueneme. “In the spirit of Baya-nihan and Balikatan, we have worked

shoulder-to-shoulder with our ArmedForces of the Philippines and communitypartners to provide humanitarian andcivic assistance. I’m confident that I speakfor the entire task force in saying that wehave all grown personally and profession-ally through this experience.”Manggahan rests on the foothills of a

dense mountain range, making floodwa-ters and erosion a constant problem. Rec-ognizing this, the combined team dug a900-meter drainage ditch to prevent theharmful waters from destroying the newand existing barangay structures.According to the construction’s U.S.

officer-in-charge, Army 1st Lt. BrockChavez from the 6th Engineering Brigade,the drainage ditch was unplanned.Duringhis first exchangewith his Philippine coun-

terpart, the concept became apparent.The follow-on execution started before

any of the heavy equipment arrived onsite. The combined team used shovels andother hand tools to dig the initial trench— all 900 meters — before finishing itwith a backhoe later during the construc-tion.“It’s not the easiest thing to do,” laughed

Chavez, “but the guys got to work im-mediately and did a great job.”Balikatan is an annual Philippine-U.S.

bilateral exercise. Humanitarian assistanceand training activities enable the Philip-pine and American service members tobuild lasting relationships, train togetherand provide assistance in communitieswhere the need is the greatest.

Community center built as part of exercise Balikatan


ZAMBALES, Philippines – Acombined teamof Philippine andU.S. Army engineers has com-pleted construction on a 50-meterfootbridge that connects the re-mote Tapuac farmlands to thecommunity’s central marketplace.The construction project was

one of seven engineering civic ac-tion (ENCAP) projects complet-ed during Balikatan 2013. It willallowmore than 100 farmers andthe barangay’s children living andworking on the outskirts ofTapuac to reach their schools andthe local marketplace where theircrops are sold.During the monthlong con-

struction, more than 60 differentTapuac volunteers joined thecombined team to showboth theirsupport and thanks for increasingtheir safety.“This is a big help to us,” said

Tapuac Barangay Captain Ra-fael Elamparo. “There are 100different families that live on thefar end of the barangay— farm-ers and children. Those familiesover there can come back andforth easily even in the rainy sea-son.”During the official ribbon-cut-

ting ceremony, Capt. RodMoore,commander of the Joint CivilMilitary Operations Task Force(JCMOTF), attributed the con-struction’s success to the uniquebond shared between the com-

bined team of engineers and thebarangay.“You can’t help but notice the

incredible teamwork shared be-tween the Philippine and U.S.team,” said Moore, who’s withNaval Construction Group 1,homeported at Naval Base Ven-tura County, Port Hueneme. “It’sthat unique teamwork that allowsa project like this footbridge to besafely completed in such a shortamount of time.”The Tapuac footbridge is one

of two bridges built during exer-ciseBalikatan 2013. The construc-tion plans are based off theBridg-es to Prosperity program, whichdetails the most efficient way tobuild a footbridge in remote areasusing materials acquired locally.

ZAMBALES, Philippines – A handfulof volunteers from the Joint Civil Mil-itary Operations Task Force (JCMOTF)ventured to Shepherd of the Hills Chil-dren’s Home to install 15 electric fansin the children’s sleeping areas.The fans will help the children stay

cool while sleeping during the balmysummer months.“When we first walked into the room,

there was no circulation at all and theheat just stuck to you,” said Construc-tion Electrician 2nd Class Eric Polito,a JCMOTF Headquarters staff memberwho’s with Naval Construction Group1 (NCG 1), homeported at Naval BaseVentura County, Port Hueneme. “Oncewe mounted all the fans and got themgoing, there was a dramatic change inthe overall comfort. All the kids cameup and thanked us. It was great.”The average temperature during the

summer months in the Philippines is inthe high 90s.Combined with the humidity, the still

air makes their open-berth group homevery hot.Volunteers spent all day working with

the children to measure, place andmount each fan.“It was really fun learning to work

the tools,” said resident Mark Velrio. “Igot to hold the fan and help put it to-gether. My room feels a lot better now.It will be easy to fall asleep.”The volunteers are all attached to

NCG 1 and are deployed to Zambalesin support of Balikatan 2013, an an-nual Philippine-U.S. bilateral exercise.

Squadron (MWSS) 172 and Seabees fromNaval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB)5, alongwithmembersof thePhil-ippineArmy’s 548thEngineerConstructionBattalion,madeup the crew that completedthe Lawin school project.The Rabanes school was renovated by a

team of engineers from the U.S. MarineCorps’9thEngineer Support Battalion andPhilippineSeabees fromtheNavalConstruc-tion Brigade.The Lawin schoolhouse is a brand-new

two-classroom prefabricated building spe-cifically designed to withstand the heavyPhilippine rainy season.Although not builtfrom scratch, the Rabanes schoolhouse re-ceived extensive renovations to the founda-tion, walls, roof, support frames, electrical

wiring, plumbing and a new concrete floor.Both locations received substantial drainagerenovations to ensure the new and reno-vated buildingswould better withstand anypotential flooding.School district supervisor Virgina Ful-

gueras said the work performed on thedistrict’s behalf will never be forgotten.“If youwant tobe remembered for a year,

plant rice. If you want to be rememberedfor 10 years, plant a tree. If you want to beremembered forever, build a school,” saidFulgueras. “Whatyou’vedone inonemonthwill live forever in our children. From thebottom of our hearts, thank you.”The U.S.-Philippines relationship dates

back to the early 1900s, when educatorsknownas theThomasites visited the Philip-pines to help provide the island residentswith basic education. Since then, educationstands as a lasting legacy passed down fromfamily member to family member, similarto an heirloom.“The skills we gain from these projects

will help us respond to any sort of naturaldisaster or other contingency,” said RearAdm.PaulaBrown, deputy commander, 1stNaval Construction Division.

The Fleet & Family Support Cen-ter (FFSC) has launched a series offree one-hour workshops at lunch-time on self-improvement topics suchas time management, dealing withstress and mastering job interviews.“We realize that scheduling classes

during business hours limits the op-portunity for some to attend,” saidMichelle Pollock, a work and familylife consultant who started the pro-gram with her co-worker, KellyCoughlan. “By condensing many ofour course curriculums to a quick60-minute session during the lunchhour, our hope is that more custom-ers can find it easier to attend.”Called “Lunch & Learn,” the ses-

sions start at noon and end at 1 p.m.Most are held at the FFSC office inthe Welcome Center at Naval BaseVentura County, Port Hueneme, butsome have been scheduled for thePoint Mugu FFSC as well.Participants are welcome to bring

a sack lunch. No pre-registration isnecessary, but it is recommended.Here’s a list of upcoming Lunch &

Learn classes:• Resume Basics: May 15 and June

26.• Disaster Prep: May 14 and June

4.• Interview Skills:May 21 and June

13.• Spouse and Family Employment:

May 23 and June 11.• Cover Letters: May 28 and June

& Family Support Center at NBVC PortHueneme to do her part in letting peopleknow that rape is not OK.Moreno was one of 20 people who

decorated a T-shirt with slogans and de-signs commemorating Sexual Assault andAwareness Month in a project the FFSCcalled “The Line of Courage.” The T-shirts, along with some made last year,were displayed in the FFSC for the restof the month.

“Sexual assault is the most underre-ported crime inAmerica,” said JulieWhir-low, the sexual assault response coordina-tor for NBVC. “This project helps spreadawareness and education and lets peopleknow that there are victims out there, thatchances are you know someone who hasbeen a victim even if you haven’t experi-enced it yourself.”The Line of Courage is an offshoot of

the Clothesline Project, which started in1990 inMassachusetts as a way to addressviolence against women.Women affected

by violence could express their emotionsby decorating a T-shirt, then hanging iton a clothesline—“airing their dirty laun-dry.”“This project isn’t just about survivors

but also about peoplewhowant to supportsurvivors,”Whirlow explained.Among those showing support by dec-

orating a T-shirt was Personnel SpecialistSeaman James Sturdivant of the PSD.“It’s good to see the Navy putting in

time and effort to make sure this diseasestops,” he said.

Thanks to the training,

Sailors can prevent sexual assaults, supportsexualassaultvictimsandhelptheDepartmentof Defense holdoffenders accountable.A key component of SAPR training is by-

Saudis the different skills taught throughout the course that range fromconstruction project management to ethics. They also outlined the four-day field training exercise held at Fort Hunter Liggett in Central Califor-nia, where the students face both physical demands and stressful situa-tions.“This is where we see who has natural leadership abilities,” Paukovits

said. “There’s instant feedback in this environment.”Brown stressed the need for strong English language skills, noting that

in some cases, international students have taken language classes too latein the military-training curriculum.“It’s time not very well spent if the student doesn’t know the language,”

he said.After the briefing, Hanley and the Saudi delegation toured the Naval

Construction Training Center, which provides basic training in the con-struction mechanic rating and advanced training in all Seabee rates.“Today was a great opportunity to showcase the Navy’s training of of-

ficer and enlisted personnel in the CEC and Seabees,”Paukovits said. “Theexchange of information was instructive and truly beneficial to both par-ties.“At CSFE, our goal is to ensure international students are receiving

training that is beneficial to their country’s requirements. Hosting thecommanding general and his staff gave us great insight into their trainingneeds and expectations.”
