Can the commissary and NEX parking lot be made safer?
Question: I am wondering if anything can be doneabout the Commissary/NEX parking lot to ensure thesafety of those driving through it. Too often I witnesspeople not stopping at the end of the rows, almosthitting others that are driving along the outer portiontowards the gym, Navy Lodge, or in the oppositedirection towards the gas station, parking for themovie theater, etc.I also think the parking lot markings need to be
redone as too often people are driving down the aislesin the wrong direction. I have seen an increase in thenumber of “near” misses, with myself involved inseveral, and would really appreciate the situationbeing looked into.
Answer: As mentioned in the Feb. 24 edition of TheLighthouse, the realignment of Addor Lane, whichruns through the Commissary and NEX parking lot,was scheduled to begin in January but was postponed
due to federal budget issues. I’m happy to report thatfunding is now available and a contractor should be onboard by the end of the month.This project will both improve safety and traffic flow
as well as enhance the visual appearance of the area.First of all, parking stalls will be changed to angu-
lar parking to clarify the correct direction of travel.The through traffic along the north edge of the park-
ing lot will be moved to the very north edge to elimi-nate the difficult and hazardous situation of perpen-dicular parking along a through-traffic lane.Colored stamped concrete islands will be installed
to separate the through traffic lanes from the parkingareas. This will allow the unsightly concrete K-railsto be removed and provide better organization of theparking lot.Some of the distressed areas of the pavement will
be patched, and the entire area will be slurry-sealed

Some people call theKoreanWarAmer-ica’s “forgotten war.” Overshadowed byWorld War II and the Vietnam War, theKorean War is often relegated to a fewsentences in today’s text books. But theveterans of the Korean War, many ofwhom also served in World War II, is animportant study for many reasons.Today’s column is not a study on the
Korean War. Rather, it is the story of aKorean War veteran who proudly servedthen and is still serving today by bringinga unique comfort to today’s military chil-dren.John Stoeffler is a graduate of the Penn-
sylvania Military College (now WidenerUniversity), where he, upon graduation,was commissioned in the United StatesArmy and shortly thereafter deployed toKorea. He proudly served in Korea as aninfantry officer.While the military was not his career,
his pride, patriotism and support of thosewho served remained as he pursued a civil-ian career, first withGeneral Electric, thenlaunching his own business in 1981. He isalso a columnist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
As a well-known columnist, Stoefflerwas asked to speak at a Memorial Dayevent in 2008. In his remarks he made twomain points: the casualties of war are notlimited to the battlefield alone, and it isthose no longer with us that we rememberon Memorial Day. Perhaps, he said, theway to do that is to care for and supportthose left behind with whatever resourceswe have.Shortly after that event Stoeffler awoke
with those points and the children of thefallen on his mind. His thoughts turnedto his own children and grandchildren.
He reflected on how their “Lamby” and“blankies” brought such comfort to hisyoung ones. Then, he mused, “What if …what if we could make small pillows —soft, fleece-backed pillows with an im-printed photo of a deployed mom or dadon it? What if we could make them andgive them for free to the children of de-ployed service members?”With that “crazy idea,” the Pillow Proj-
ect was born.John and his lovely wife, Linda, em-
barked upon this new venture: to providepillows to children whose parents are de-ployed for at least three months. Lindaand a few of her friends do the sewing andJohn takes care of converting submittedphotos of service members into the soft,durable pillow tops for their child.Since that time, John and Linda, their
partners and friends have distributedmorethan 3,000 free pillows to children of de-ployed. John speaks of the day they hadto shut down the website:“We were swamped! The USS Dwight
D. Eisenhower was deploying. Someoneshowed one of our pillows to the FRGand within three days we had over 500
orders for pillows.We shut down the web-site till we could catch up. It was a greatproblem to face.”Read about these pillows or order one
for your child at www.pillowprojectusa.com. All pillows are free, but they do askfor assistance with shipping. They alsowelcome partnerships and donations tohelp defray the cost of materials.John and Linda, thank you for your
continued service and sacrifice to supporttoday’s military children.

Recent events in Japan serve as a re-minder to us all that disaster can strike atany time.Operation Prepare is Navy Region
Southwest’s family emergency prepared-ness program. It suggests three simplesteps: Be informed, have a plan, andmakea kit.These three steps can also be taken to
ensure your children are prepared whileat school.
Be informedKnowing what to do can make all the
difference when seconds count. Find outwhat the school’s disaster plan is.• If the school will be evacuated, where
will the students be taken? And how willthey be transported?• If you live on base, will your regular
school transportation be available? Willyour carpool driver or the school bus haveaccess?• Has the school discussed emergency
plans with the students?Have a plan
Consider the range of possibilities andplaces you might be.• Do you have a back-up plan if you are
unable to pick up your child fromschool?• Do you have local friends, family or
neighbors on your child’s emergency au-thorization form for your child to be re-leased to?• Have you talked to your child about
possible plans, specifically consideringnatural disasters common in your localcommunity?
Make a kitConsider the basics of survival and also
special needs.
• Does the school have water bottles andbasic essentials if children must “shelterin place?” How can you assist the schoolto obtain supplies?• Is the school notified of medical con-
ditions and have necessary medicationsfor your child?• Can you give your child an extra water
bottle or granola bar in their backpack,lunch or to keep in their locker in the eventof an emergency?Schools work hard to be prepared for
an emergency, but as parents, it is impor-tant that you are informed and well pre-pared as well. Think of ways you can helpthe schools and your children to be bestequipped to respond in an emergency.For more information about preparing
your home and family for a disaster, con-tact the Naval Base Ventura County Fleet& Family Support Center at 982-5037.Offering literature and classes in emer-gency preparedness, the FFSC can connectyou to essential resources.— Contact NBVC School Liaison OfficerMonica James at 989-5211 with any schoolemergency preparedness or K-12 educationquestions.
Make sure kids are prepared for disaster

I recently read a story about a churchthat split from another church over dis-agreements. They refused to fellowship,interact or work together within the com-munity. After some time passed duringBible study at the new church, one of thecongregation members approached thepastor and said, “Do you trust me?” Thepastor replied, “Yes.”The man addressedthe congregation and began speakingabout the lack of love and unity that ex-isted within their congregation. He di-rected them to get up and go to anotherperson in the church, hug them and tellthem they loved them. He had to say ittwice before they actually did what heasked.After they finished extending love to-
ward each other, the man said, “Now let’svisit the church we left and tell them welove them.”No one moved.The pastor addressed the congregation
and informed them that he was going tospeak on strengthening Christian relation-ships, but this man had done a much bet-ter job. So most of them went to theother church, and before the final prayerthe same man asked if he could addressthe congregation. The pastor agreed. Hesaid, “Since we left this church there hasbeen animosity between us. We love youand ask for your forgiveness and desire to
have full fellowship once again.” Peoplebegan confessing sins to each other, apol-ogizing and acknowledging what they didwrong. Soon laughter, crying, hugs andkisses could be seen among everyone in-teracting in what became a restorationsession. There were so many people thatattended that, as they lined up to enter theold church, it looked like they were at-tending a funeral. One man responded,“We are going to a funeral, we are dyingto ourselves.”You can read the full story at http://
www.sermoncentral.com/illustrations/sto-ries-about-Grudges.asp.One of the most unfortunate common
attributes of humanity is holding grudges.
Holding a grudge demands effort and en-ergy. This is accomplished by repeatedlyreliving the alleged offense by talking andthinking about it, in addition to avoidingthe person who has offended you. Thiseffort sustains the grudge and, if left in-tact, will begin to attract friends like bit-terness, resentment, anger, animosity, hate,malice and hostility.I’m sure you have heard people say,
“Just let it go and move on.”Many timesthis just sounds like words without amanual explaining how it should be done.Recipients of this information are con-fused and stuck because they are not re-ally holding on to the grudge because theyreally like being miserable— it is becausethey haven’t figured out how to let go.I have come to know and understand
that nothing is too difficult for God. Ifyou allowHis love to fill your heart, mindand spirit, then you have the ingredientneeded to release any negative emotionscausing you to hold grudges. Let the loveof God infiltrate your being so that youcan extend love to others. Saying you lovesomeone is just words, but putting loveinto action by refusing to keep record ofwrongs is much more powerful!It is my prayer for each of us that we
move past the past and plan to love eachday intentionally.
Letting go of a grudge can avoid bitterness, resentment

The main goal of the Navy MarineCorps Relief Society (NMCRS) ActiveDuty Fund Drive is two-fold.First, NMCRS uses the fund drive to
spread the word on services that are avail-able. The second goal is to give 100 percentof all Sailors and Marines an opportu-nity to contribute. To suggest an amountthat each person should contribute vio-lates the Active Duty Fund Drive Manu-al.Regardless of the fund drive manual,
fund drive representatives in commandsalways get the question, “What should Igive?”Consider this: Would you buy yourfriend a coffee? A conservative amountfor a cup of coffee is $1.25.Would you dothis every week? Have you ever thoughtabout what NMCRS could do with thatsame $1.25 a week? Think about it. Anallotment of $1.25 a week adds up to $5a month or $60 a year.At Naval Base Ventura County alone,
that could generate more than $300,000a year! Given that the Society leverageseach dollar donated into about $5 or $6
in loans — because our Sailors and Ma-rines are so good about paying the Societyback — that $300,000 grows to close to$2 million!Considering that in 2010 your local
NMCRS office distributed over $495,000in interest-free loans and grants and raisedabout $73,000, each dollar collected atNBVC is used to help other Sailors andMarines right here. Help take care of yourshipmates! Fill out your allotment to-day!How will NMCRS use your donation?
NMCRS provides interest-free loans andgrants to eligible clients for verified emer-gencies like food, rent, utilities, child care,car repairs and dental co-pays for depen-dent care. Other services include a thriftshop run by NMCRS volunteers on PortHueneme, layettes for expectant parentsand budget counseling.More informationis available online at www.nmcrs.org.NMCRSwelcomes volunteers for those
who cannot contribute. Volunteers providethe majority of the services for clients inVentura County. All training is providedbyNMCRS.Reimbursement for child careand mileage is available. Call 982-4409 to
find out about the next volunteer orienta-tion and find out how you can begin serv-ing your military community.The Active Duty Fund Drive runs
through April 15. Lt. James Jones andChief Religious Program Specialist AlanGrow are the fund drive coordinators for2011 at NBVC. For questions, contactthem by email: [email protected] [email protected].
That daily cup of coffee could be $60 a year for NMCRSThe NMCRS Office will be closed for
a Volunteer Recognition Luncheon onMarch 31 from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.• Thrift Shop: (Bldg. 829, Port Huen-
eme): Open Monday andWednesday, 10a.m. to 1 p.m. Low-cost uniforms, civil-ian clothing, baby items, household itemsand more. Prices start at 5 cents!• Budget for Baby: Tuesday, April 12,

Newly installed glass doors in the com-missary’s dairy department at Naval BaseVentura County Port Hueneme are saving$900 a month in utility bills, according tothe store director, Billy Benner.“Between the energy savings, the finan-
cial savings and the fact that the dairyproducts are staying fresher for a longerperiod of time, this project can’t be beat,”Benner said.The dairy doors, which replaced long
strips of plastic, cost $70,000, and instal-lation cost another $50,000, Bennersaid.“We’ll make that up in no time,” he
said.Shoppers are commenting that the dairy
department seems to have better lighting,and employees have noted that the shelvesare easier to clean and load.Benner said the plastic strips, which
customers had to reach through to graba jug of milk, were 3 years old, inconve-nient and not very attractive.
“Plus, they were not very effective,” hesaid. “They didn’t do much to save ener-gy.”The new system is made even more ef-
ficient after the store closes, when workerspull down curtains inside the glass to saveeven more energy.Benner said dairy sales are up 15 to 20
percent, and he credits the new doors andtheir cleaner, neater appearance.Next up: More energy-efficient meat
display cases are planned for 2012.

“Partners in Education: Can Do!”The Naval Construction Training Cen-
ter (NCTC) at Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty Port Hueneme has entered into a for-mal partnership with Las PosasElementary School in Camarillo to sharespecial activities and educational proj-ects.The question is: Who will educate
whom?“Our Sailors are going to learn just
how fun it is to teach children,” JamesMartinez, the principal at Las Posas, saidjust before signing the partnership agree-ment in a special outdoor ceremony onFriday, March 4.“You will learn from these Sailors,” he
told the children, “but they will learnfrom you.”Cmdr. Charlie Willmore, commanding
officer of NCTC, also signed the agree-ment, then sealed the deal by presentingthe school with an American flag thathad flown in Afghanistan’s HelmandProvince during Operation EnduringFreedom.Martinez then gave each of the six
NCTC representatives a glass trophybearing the logos of both Las PosasSchool and the Seabees.School Liaison Officer Monica James
said Las Posas was ideal for the partner-ship because it is the neighborhoodschool for Catalina Heights, the 315-unitmilitary housing complex in Camarillo.About 35 percent of the nearly 500 stu-dents at Las Posas are connected to themilitary.“This partnership will open many
doors,” James said. “It will show that withsome positive encouragement, anythingis possible.”Willmore said he is looking forward to
the many opportunities offered. “Weknow we’ll learn a lot from you,” he told
the students. “If nothing else, I knowwe’ll absorb some of your energy.”Seabees from the NCTC have already
agreed to volunteer on an upcoming Sat-urday afternoon to help build booths forthe annual Las Posas school carnival.In addition, each classroom at Las Po-
sas will have one or two “Seabee buddies”who can be called on to help during spe-cial projects or even day-to-day lessonsin math or reading.JoiningWillmore at the ceremony were
Lt. Cmdr. Chad Koster, the executive of-ficer of NCTC; Leading Chief Petty Of-ficer Scottie Cox; Chief Builder IanDoyle; Chief Electrician’s Mate Leo Ba-lan; and Navy Counselor 1st Class Mi-chael Knight.A color guard also attended and led
the students in the Pledge of Alle-giance.The Seabees and students didn’t have
to wait long for their partnership to takeeffect. Less than a week after the cere-mony, on Thursday, March 10, severalSeabees took part in the school’s annualjog-a-thon fundraiser.James said the money raised will pay
the salary of the school’s physical educa-tion teacher, a position slashed duringrecent budget cuts.

Chocolate cheesecake isn’t somethingyou’d expect to be served at a health fair,but there it was, looking luscious and fat-tening, sitting on a table at the SpringFling Health Fair and St. Patrick’s Day5K outside the Bee-Fit Health and Well-ness Center at Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty.And next to it were doughnut holes. And
chocolate cups. And cookies.“Go ahead!” laughed Vannesa Gonza-
les. “See what you think!”This was no ordinary chocolate cheese-
cake. One bite and it was over – not be-cause it was horrible, but because it wasso rich, so satisfying, that one bite was allit took.“That’s the beauty of it,” Gonzales ex-
plained. “You can’t eat a lot of it becauseone bite and you’re satisfied. You don’tneed to eat the whole cake.”All the treats laid out on the table con-
tained no sugar, no flour and no dairy.The cheesecake was made of coconut oil,cashews, pecans, agave, raw cocoa andvanilla extract. The chocolate cups hadcoconut oil, agave syrup, cacao powder,almond butter, sunflower seeds and raisins.The trail mix cookies were made of al-monds, cinnamon, sea salt, walnuts, dates,raisins and sunflower seeds.Gonzales and two friends served dozens
of samples to the 200 people who attend-ed the March 17 health fair, stunningmany skeptics. The spouse of Chief Build-er Rommel Gonzales of the 31st SeabeeReadiness Group, she and Evette Trotter,spouse of Construction Mechanic 2ndClass Richard Trotter of the 31st NavalConstruction Regiment, and friend HeidiMagel had spent the previous day mixingup six different recipes and getting themready to serve.The three work out together at the Bee-
Fit and have been trying new recipes formonths.“It’s been trial-and-error on our diets,”
Magel said. “We’ve gone from Special K
to raw. Right now, we’re on guilt-free.”Their table was one of 17 set up at the
health fair, which was organized by Ra-mona Pagel, fitness director at NBVC.“Our goal was to get a wide variety of
groups,” she said. “We want people toknow the Bee-Fit is here to assist themand meet their needs.”TheAmerican Cancer Society was there
promoting the upcoming Relay for Life,which already has 11 Navy teams signedup.
There was also a body-fat assessmentcenter and a demonstration of the TRXSuspension Training system.“It’s definitely a good workout,” said
Logistics Specialist 2ndClassRobertRoweof the Naval Facilities Expeditionary Lo-gistics Center, who’s been taking TRXclasses at the Bee-Fit for two weeks now.“It’s like working with weights, but you’reusing your own body as resistance. Youwork all your core muscles.”Also taking place at the Bee-Fit was a
lunchtime 5K run that drew 77 partici-pants. The winner, Bryan Boyce, is a me-chanical engineer at the Naval FacilitiesEngineering Support Center and was run-ning his first lunchtime 5K. He came inwith a time of 19 minutes even.“I’ll definitely do another one,” he
said.More than half an hour later, Meg
Swaney and Christina Martinez crossedthe finish line, coming in with a time of 51minutes, 32 seconds. Swaney is the spouseof Utilities ConstructionmanChristopherWatkins of Naval Mobile ConstructionBattalion 5, andMartinez is the spouse ofUtilities Constructionman Jesus Salinas,also of NMCB 5.“We walked it and chatted and had a
good time,”Martinez said.And that’s what these lunchtime 5Ks are
all about — getting exercise and havingfun, saidAmandaHaskell of Morale,Wel-fare and Recreation.“All levels are welcome,” she said. “Peo-
ple can walk, they can bring their dogs,they can bring strollers. Everyone is wel-come.”The next lunchtime 5K is April 14, an
Earth Day 5K along the beach at NBVCPoint Mugu.

Another 10 pounds gone.Rhonda Youngs continues her “New
Year, New You” fitness program at theBee-FitWellness Center, Naval Base Ven-tura County Port Hueneme, and the hardwork she has put in since Nov. 10 of lastyear is paying off.“What’s really terrific is that she has lost
6.9 percent of her body fat, and her BMI(body mass index) has gone down twopoints,” said Ramona Pagel, the base fit-ness manager. “Really, that’s the bestgauge of healthy weight loss, much moreso than actual pounds.”Youngs, whose husband, Ian, is a chief
constructionmechanic with ConstructionBattalion Maintenance Unit 303 in SanDiego, decided late last year to get in shapethrough better eating habits and moreexercise. Her children are 7 and nearly 2.“I want to be healthy and live as long
as I can for my kids,” she said at thetime.Youngs works out for half an hour to
an hour every weekday at the Bee-Fit, usu-ally on the elliptical machine or stationarybicycle. She also uses free weights, and sheworks her abdominals with exercise ballsand sit-ups.She brings her daughters with her so
they can play in the children’s area.
On the food front, she is eating morefruits and vegetables and fewer carbs, evenat social get-togethers.On Super Bowl Sunday, for example,
she chose a turkey dog on a tortilla insteadof a regular hot dog.And on Valentine’s Day, she limited
herself to two chocolates.“My husband wasn’t here, so he sent
flowers and a four-pack of chocolates,”she said. “The kids each got one chocolateand I got two. He said he didn’t want tosendme anything he know Iwouldn’t wantto eat.”Her daughter’s seventh birthday party
was at a pizza parlor, so shemade sure shedrank a lot of water and ate a salad beforeturning to the pizza.“Just a couple of pieces and I was full,”
she said. “And I made sure I worked outhard the day before and the day after.”If she really wants a treat, she won’t
deprive herself.“I’ve learned that if I do that, I’ll binge,”
she said. “I won’t get it out of my head.”Youngs admits to feeling frustrated that
even with all the weight loss, her clothingsize hasn’t changed.“I’m feeling more comfortable with my
weight, and I’m feeling healthier, and myclothes are looser,” she said. “My shoesdon’t fit anymore, but I’m wearing thesame size clothing. How does thatwork?”Very well, according to Pagel.“She’s doing everything right, and she’ll
get there,” Pagel said. “You can’t live anddie by numbers.”

Experts in the field of science, math andengineering from Naval Surface WarfareCenter, Port Hueneme Division (NSWCPHD), volunteered their time to give backto the community by participating asjudges at the Hueneme High School Sci-ence Fair last month.Each judge carefully examined their
respective projects prior to the studentsarriving so they would be prepared withappropriate questions.“I looked over all the projects and they
seem to be very well done for the ninth-grade level,” said NSWCPHD electronicsengineer Adham Taher.Once the flood of students poured
through the venue doors on Feb. 8, thejudges set out to quiz the students abouttheir projects.NSWC PHD electrical engineer Tad
Dougherty asked ninth grader Erica Da-bao about her project, titled “UltravioletIndex.”She explained her research in greatdetail and said the tricky part about herproject was “collecting the data becauseit was dependent on the weather.”Other students commented on why they
chose a particular topic.“I’m very interested in baseball; in fact,
I play on the high school varsity team,”said Matthew Valencia, a ninth grader
whose project was “What Works Best –Maple, White Ash or Bamboo WoodenBats?” His findings revealed … bamboo.Summing up her experience, NSWC
PHD mechanical engineer LizbethFigueroa said, “The students did a greatjob with their research and explainingtheir processes. I hope to see some of theseprojects at the Ventura County ScienceFair.”
NSWC PHD, a tenant command ofNaval Base Ventura County, is an avidsupporter of community-related, scienceand technology events.The command champions a variety
of programs involving local schools,such as the Pre-engineering Program forhigh school students and an annualrocket-building competition for middleschool students.

NIMRUZ PROVINCE, Afghanistan– Twenty-six Seabees from Naval MobileConstruction Battalion (NMCB) 3 rede-ployed from Camp Leatherneck to For-ward Operating Base Delaram II lastmonth to provideMarineCorps units withconstruction and engineering support.NMCB 3 has been in Afghanistan since
November, but NMCB 18 was manningthe detachment atDelaram II until Febru-ary. With NMCB 18 leaving the theater,and the overall number of battalions inAfghanistan reducing from four to two,NMCB 3 has been re-aligning itself tomaintain the same level of support for thecoalition forces throughout Afghanistan.Although NMCB 3 has only been at De-
laram II for a fewweeks, they have alreadymade significant improvements to thecompound.Almost immediately, the construction
mechanics and equipment operators rear-ranged the equipment yard, created anequipment dispatch office and set up themechanic shop.“I noticed that we could be much more
efficient with just a few organizationalchanges,” said ConstructionMechanic 1stClass (SCW)Nicholas Vicars, the detach-ment’s lead mechanic. “Also, with theupcoming rain, adding gravel and doingsome site work will pay dividends for allthe vehicles that travel through our com-pound.”At the same time, the campmaintenance
team, consisting of utilitiesmen and con-
struction electricians, worked on qualityof life improvements for the camp. Theycreated an office space for meetings andtraining by removing walls from individ-ual offices, creating a collective workingarea. The team also built a gym and aMorale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR)area for the detachment to spend their off-duty hours.
While some of the teammade improve-ments to the Seabee camp, the rest of thedetachment immediately began construc-tion on a Southwest American (SWA) hutfor Regimental Combat Team 8 (RCT-8).This building will be a 32-by-120-foot of-fice for RCT-8’s Safety, Civil Affairs, Pub-lic Affairs, Combat Camera, Scan Eagle,Embedded Training Team and FemaleEngagement Team.
“I’m happy with the work ethic thatthis crew has displayed,” said Builder1st Class (SCW) Stephen Boyce, theproject supervisor. “With their eagernessto learn and work, you can’t even tellthey haven’t done this before.”The detachment is scheduled to com-
plete this SWA hut and build two ad-ditional SWA huts to provide for medi-cal, dental and operations spaces. Allof this is scheduled to be done beforethe end of NMCB 3’s deployment thissummer.
“This may be just the beginning forthis detachment, but the impact they aremaking to support the mission is alreadygreat in size,” said Chief Steelworker(SCW/FMF) Mark Pembleton, the de-tachment assistant officer in charge.

The assistant food service officer of thePort Hueneme galley at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) is retiring on April1 with the gift he hoped for: a 26-year ca-reer bookended by the Navy’s top awardfor galleys.Senior Chief Culinary Specialist Cesar
Ortiz Cabotage spent his first year afterboot camp aboard USS Carl Vinson(CVN-70), and at the end of that year, theship received the 1985 Capt. Edward F.Ney Memorial Food Service Award.A fewweeks ago, Cabotage learned that
NBVC Port Hueneme was receiving the2011 award for having the best galley inthe continental United States, a first forthe base.
“This is my gift,” he said. “To be retir-ing at the same time Port Hueneme re-ceives the Ney Award is a dream cometrue.”Cabotage, who has been at NBVC for
almost three years, oversaw the renovationof the Port Hueneme galley, which ishoused in a building constructed in 1953.New tables, new chairs, giant neon lightswith “Bee’stro” signs, new floor carpetsand tiles, brand new galley equipment,even a plasma TV were added.Next Cabotage oversaw the adoption
of the Navy’s “healthy choice” menu,which not only emphasized more nutri-tious ingredients — whole wheat bread,low-fat milk, fewer fried items and morefruits and vegetables, for example — butalso synchronized day-to-daymenus acrossthe entire Navy.“This way, if a ship pulls into Port Hue-
neme and is out of one of the menu in-gredients, we can resupply,” Cabotageexplained.The newmenu also features more selec-
tion at the salad bar.Judging for the Ney Award required
intense cleaning of the galley — “Theyused a toothpick to check for dirt,”Cabo-tage said — and a thorough check of allrecords, inventory, equipment and storeditems.Cabotage was especially proud that the
galley didwell in customer survey respons-es during the inspection.“People said they were happy to come
here and eat, that it was like going to arestaurant,” he said.Cabotage was born and raised in the
Philippines and graduated from theMapuaInstitute of Technology with a degree incivil engineering before joining the mili-tary at the age of 25.In addition to USS Carl Vinson, he

American Military Engineers’ (SAME)award, Higdon said, “I am humbled andhonored by the efforts of the NMCB 4Seabees in Konduz, to be recognized bySAME. It is a testament to the leadershipand ‘can do’ attitude of Seabees likeMas-ter Sgt. Paul Tholen, Equipment Operator1st Class JohnWard and SteelWorker 1stClass Douglas White.”Capt. David Sasek, president of the
SAMEOxnard-Ventura Post and the chiefstaff officer of Naval Base Ventura Coun-ty, presented both awards on stage as themaster of ceremonies declared the manyaccomplishments of Higdon and the bat-talion during their deployment to Af-ghanistan from January to August 2010.Each year, SAME presents awards to
those from the uniformed services and theprivate sector in recognition of achieve-
ment in support of the engineering profes-sion, the nation’s national security objec-tives and the SAME Strategic Plan.“On our level, recognition is always
good — good for morale, good for moti-vation. Every human wants to know theirwork is valued and would like to hear“Good job!” every now and then,” saidSimms. “From a Naval ConstructionForce perspective, awards and recognitionare excellent because they publicly ac-knowledge what we inherently know, andthat is the NCF is the engineer force ofchoice in all of DOD.”She added: “When FOB Deh Dadi
earned recognition as project of the year,I was excited that SAME recognized theincredible feat of turning a green field intoa 300-acre FOB with berthing, galleys,command and control facilities, gyms, fuelpoints, etc., and proud to be a member ofNMCB 4.”

DEH DADI TWO, Afghanistan — Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 40 conducted a “Cas-ing of the Colors” ceremony on March 15 on camp Deh Dadi II, Afghanistan, turning over a large forward operating base built completely by Seabees.
Deh Dadi II will be a major hub in the new northern distribution network as supplies needed for war-fighting efforts are channeled into the country.
Originally started by NMCB 4 in March 2010, Deh Dadi was just an open field outside of Mazar-E-Sharif. Nearly one year to the day, Seabees from NMCB 40 handed over the more than 200-acre base, making it the first of its size in Af-ghanistan built entirely by Seabees. It is also the largest earth-moving project since World War II.
The new FOB is currently home to more than 2,500 soldiers, said NMCB 40 Commanding Officer Tim DeWitt.
“It’s been exactly one year since the Seabees arrived at Deh Dadi Two,” said DeWitt. “This time last year this was nothing more than barren land.”
“It’s truly amazing at what you have accomplished in one year here,” said Army Brigadier Gen. Lester Simpson, commanding general, Task Force Ham-mer.
“Today is a bittersweet moment,” said Simpson. “The relationships you have forged working with Task Force Hammer will be missed, but you can leave here today with your head held high knowing that you did an outstanding job and your hard work improved the facilities for the people of Afghanistan.”
Navy Capt. Allan Stratman, commo-dore of the 25th Naval Construction Regiment, talked about the many accom-plishments of NMCB 40, including the completion of a trauma center and clos-ing the gap of what is known as “The Golden Hour” in getting wounded sol-diers to critical care.
“If I had one word for what you have done here it would be pride,” said Strat-man. “Today we close another chapter in the Seabee legacy.”

Chanting “Thank you, Seabees! Thank you, Seabees!” 45 youngsters from Parkview Elemen-tary School in Port Hueneme greeted more than 300 Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 40 returning home to Naval Base Ventura County on Friday, March 11.
Fourth- through sixth-graders in Parkview’s after-school program took a bus to the air ter-minal at NBVC Point Mugu to meet in person the men and women they had sent valentines and care packages to during the Seabees’ nine-month deployment to Afghanistan.
“Everything they did kept everyone’s spirits up, especially during the holidays,” said Lt. Cmdr. Julie Hrdlicka, executive officer of NMCB 40.
Parkview Principal Heidi Haines was just as appreciative.
“It meant the world to the kids to see these Seabees come home safely,” she said. “It was everything I had hoped for and more.”
The Parkview project began on Veterans Day of last year when Equipment Operator Senior Chief Alesia Stokes and Construction Electri-cian Chief Lynn Rodriguez visited the school to explain the significance of the holiday and what work Seabees do.
The students asked what they could do to show their gratitude, and Stokes replied, “Please send care packages to our deployed troops.”
In a project organized by Parkview teacher Amanda Glover, the students did just that, then followed up with a flood of valentines in Feb-ruary.
Builder Constructionman Apprentice Dereck Bonner said he appreciated the notes from home.
“It was very nice,” he said. “Everything they did was highly appreciated.”
Among their many accomplishments of their nine-month deployment, the Seabees:
• Completed 142 construction projects valued at $20 million.
• In support of Operation Hamkari, con-structed 32 police stations and hardened build-ings for government officials, nine tactical op-erations centers, two 600-man tent camps, three checkpoints and 12 combat outposts and com-pleted 15 kilometers of route improvements throughout the Arghandab and Panjawai dis-tricts.
• Constructed critical helicopter landing
zones at Forward Op-eration Base (FOB) Khelegay, FOB Kun-duz and FOB Monitor (Sheberghan), improv-ing response times for medical evacuations.
• Drilled water wells at three locations. FOB Ghormach’s well was drilled to 700 feet to correct a health issue after bacteria was found to have infected the FOB well. Mey-maneh was drilled at a depth of 300 feet to increase the produc-tion capacity of the base due to a surge in in-coming forces. And the Deh Dadi II well was also drilled at a depth of 400 feet to provide the first water production capability for the FOB.
• Constructed 35 command and control fa-cilities on five FOBs.
• Constructed 12 large area maintenance structures, improving maintenance capabilities for numerous supported commands in prepara-tion for the harsh Afghanistan winter.
• Placed 4,465 cubic meters of concrete for various projects across Afghanistan.
• Completed 23 command posts, berthing for 800 personnel and the placement 150,000 cubic yards of gravel for roads, supply yards and dust abatement on FOB Deh Dadi II.
• Constructed a new 400-meter military entry control point and an 800-meter North Access Road that tremendously improved access to Deh Dadi II, provided improved force protec-tion for gate sentries and camp personnel and ensured all vehicles could access the camp.

Air Force, Marines and Army.The Armed Forces Triathlon is at 10:30
a.m. The Admiral’s Cup is at 8 a.m. Reg-istration for that event at www.active.comis open until April 4.Last year’s triathlons were held in June;
race director AmandaHaskell of Morale,Welfare and Recreation said the WorldMilitary Games, held every four years, arein Brazil in July, forcing the schedule tobe moved up.Themale and female champions of 2010
— both from the Air Force team — willbe trying to win again this year: Capt.James Bales and 1st Lt. Kathy Rakel.Bales will be joined by 11 other men fromthe Air Force and 12- or 13-man teamsfrom theNavy andCoast guard combined,the Army and the Marines.Navy EnsignDerreckOskutis, themen’s
champion in 2009, is on this year’s Navyteam. He did not compete last year.Canada is sending eight men and eight
women. The Army, Air Force and com-bined Navy and Coast Guard teams areeach sending six women; the Marines aresending five.This is the 12th year NBVC has hosted
the event. The first was in 1998, then thebase became the permanent host in2001.The Armed Forces triathlon consists of
swimming 1,500 meters (one mile), bicy-cling 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) and run-ning 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).The course record of 1 hour, 41minutes,
46 seconds was set in 2006 by Navy Lt.Timothy O’Donnell.The Admiral’s Cup is shorter. It’s a 400-
meter swim (one-thirdmile), 20-kilometernon-draft legal bike ride (12 miles) and5-kilometer run (3.1 miles).About 30 people have registered for the
Admiral’s Cup so far, but Haskell saidthat’s to be expected with a race scheduledthis early.“We’ll get a lot of last-minute sign-ups,”
she said.She added that she’s hoping for good
weather.“It’s April, so you could get a day that’s
80 degrees or one that’s 60,” she said.The ocean temperature can vary from
58 to 62 degrees that time of year.The Admiral’s Cup is $20 for military
and $50 for civilians. Costs for relay teamsare $45 for military and $60 for civilians.

for boys and girls ages 5 to 12.For Lane, it’s only the tip of the iceberg.
In addition to the basics — flag footballand basketball among them — he hopesto offer classes as varied as orienteering,Tae Kwon Do, even dance.“I don’t want to put any limits out
there,” he said. “I want kids to be able todiscover on their own what they cando.”Lane graduated in 2004 fromCalifornia
State University, Chico, where hemajoredin kinesiology, specializing in physicaleducation programs for children.“That’s my true passion – figuring out
creative ways of working with kids so theywon’t get bored,” he said.He credits his mom, Pam, a retired el-
ementary teacher fromConejoValleyUni-fied School District, for his love of work-ing with children. As a boy growing up,Lane would often join her on campus andwatch as she engaged youngsters in learn-ing new material.His father, John, is retired from theMin-
erals andManagement Service, but it wasfrom him that he developed a love ofcoaching.
“My dad coached, and I learned earlyon to appreciate everything about sports,even when the chips are down,” he said.“You learn to feel good even when you’rejust out running around.”Running is exactly what Lane had to hit
the ground doing when he started workFeb. 15. In just a few short weeks, he hadto organize the youth soccer program andstart registration.He’s determined to keep the program
non-competitive and focused on character-building.“That goes for everybody involved —
kids, parents, coaches and spectators,” hesaid.His No. 1 goal is to keep the kids busy
and make all activities inviting.“Obesity is an extremely important issue
right now,” he said. “Kids won’t learn bydoing nothing.”At home, he’s had to start practicing
what he preaches. He and his wife, Heath-er, a teacher at Conejo Elementary School,have a 14-month-old son, but Lane isn’tworried about him not being adventurousor being afraid to try new things.“Just look at his name,” Lane said.It’s Evan Danger Lane.

Help when you need it.The Fleet & FamilySupport Center
By Andrea HowryLighthouse editor
ForCulinary Specialist 3rdClass JosephAbbinante, saving money is a hedgeagainst a shaky Social Security system.For Aviation Electrician’sMate Airman
Charles Webb, it’s a way to get back ontrack after the holidays and Valentine’sDay.These Sailors were just two of the 427
military andDefenseDepartment person-nel and their spouses from Naval BaseVentura County who committed to savingmoney through the Military Saves cam-paign put on in February by the Fleet &Family Support Center.They filled out a pledge card promising
to save a percentage of their income anddropped it in one of 61 pledge boxes allacross the base.During a drawing after the campaign
was over, 15 pledge cards were pulled, andthe winners received prizes ranging fromMP3 players to free movie tickets.Abbinante andWebbwere among those
whose pledge cardswere pulled.Abbinantewon a round of golf for two, two movietickets and other items; Webb won bookfull of coupons for local restaurants andentertainment venues.Participation in the campaign nearly
doubled from 2010, when 265 people tookpart.Dan Savage, an FFSC work and family
life consultant who specializes in person-al financial management, helped coordi-nate this year’s FFSC event. He said thatplacing the brand-new pledge boxes atvisible points throughout the base gavethe campaign more exposure.In addition, he said, many command
financial specialists (CFSs) cooperatedwith the project.“A lot of CFSs talkedwith servicemem-
bers and got them to start thinking aboutinvesting,”Savage said. “And the economycontributed as well. People realize they
need to save.”Abbinante said he realizes saving will
become more important as he gets old-er.“I’m trying to save for later in life,” he
said. “The economy is not looking toostable, and Social Security is not lookingtoo bright.”Webb agreed.“This is a good jump start to getting
myself back on track and saving again,”
he said. “We all need to get a firm gripbefore we’re tempted to spend. This helpsme to itemize, to set out my needs, mywants, what I owe andwhat I can get awaywith.”The FFSC offers many classes through-
out the year on financialmanagement. Formore information, call the Port HuenemeFFSC at 982-3640 or Point Mugu at 989-8844.

Twomembers of the PointMuguToast-masters Club will compete Saturday,March 26, in an area-wide speech contestin Ventura.Jeannie Taylor, a Battelle contractor
with theNaval Postgraduate School’s Cen-ter for Asymmetric Warfare, and CindyHulsebus, a software engineer for NA-VAIR unmanned systems, each took firstplace in the club’s tall tales contest andinternational contest onMarch 2 and aremoving on to the Area B2 competition,which includes five clubs.Taylor won with her tall tale, “When
Arms Attack.” Being of Italian-Siciliandescent, she explained, she gestures wild-ly when she speaks, and her four- to six-minute tall tale told how her habit hasgotten so out of hand that she needs toenter a “gesture management program.”Hulsebus won the five- to seven-minute
international contest for “Feel the Fearand Do It Anyway.” She talked about theneed for courage, and told a personalstory of overcoming a terrifying medicalemergency.“I was afraid of dying,” she said. “Af-
terward, I was afraid of living.”After the speech, Hulsebus, who has
been in Toastmasters for a year and threemonths, called her talk “cathartic” andsaid she hoped it had instilled emotion in
the judges. She won both club and areacontests last year.Taylor, also a yearlong veteran of the
club, said Toastmasters has helped herrecognize and compensate for her ten-dency to gesture.“Now I can avoid hitting people with
my hands,” she said, half joking.Tim Mullins, the club’s vice president
for public relations, said Toastmastersimproves more than public speakingskills.“We are here to polish both our com-
munication and leadership skills,” he saidof the club’s 20-plus members.Good speakers, he said, communicate
better with their superiors, and that canlead to more leadership responsibilities.Winners of the area contest continue to
move up to division, district and final lev-els, with the competition culminating at afour-day international convention in LasVegas in August.There are more than three dozen Toast-
masters clubs in Ventura County. World-wide, there are 12,500 clubs across 113countries.For more information on Point Mugu
Toastmasters, call Mullins at 989-0105.

By Nancy KanterNSWC PHD Command Communications
Naval Surface Warfare Center Port Hueneme Divi-sion (NSWC PHD) invited 65 junior high school stu-dents from 13 Ventura County schools to participatein an engineering competition held on Feb. 25.This marked the 11th year that the command has
held its National Engineers Week event. Each school’steam of five students and one teacher was matchedwith an NSWC PHD engineer to assist them in build-ing their projects.The students’ mission was to design and construct
a missile that would intercept another missile. Thestudents were required to address this engineeringchallenge with only the materials provided: waterbottles, popcorn kernels, coffee stirrers, water balloons,swim noodles and other miscellaneous household andoffice supplies.They also had access to scissors, string, tape, rubber
bands and hot glue. Some materials needed to be “pur-chased” by swiping “credit cards” pre-approved forthe event. With water bottles costing a mere $400,000each, the credit cards’ $1 million limits weren’t goingto go far without a lot of creativity.
“Some people think that engineering is boring,”Cmdr. Seiko Okano, NSWC PHD Ship Defense andExpeditionary Warfare Department Officer, said dur-ing her opening remarks. “But the best engineers I’ve
met are also the most creative.”The students took a short break from their projects
to tour the command’s Underway Replenishment testsite, where they learned how ships and Sailors receivesupplies while out at sea. This offered another chanceto see how math and science skills can be used to comeup with real-life engineering solutions.After the tours, the students were able to test-launch
their missiles and make any necessary adjustments.Each team took turns standing before the panel and
presenting their missiles. They offered a rationale fortheir designs, answered questions from the judges andthen launched their missiles at a target with the helpof a blast of compressed air. The projects were judgedon accuracy, presentation, creativity and ability to staywithin budget.
First place ended up going to Monte Vista MiddleSchool for their missile’s performance, second placeto Charles Blackstock Junior High School, and thirdplace to Los Primeros School of Sciences and Art.The first place team will get the chance to tour a
real Navy ship, and students from each of the winningschools received Barnes and Noble gift cards and cer-tificates signed by Timothy Troske, NSWC PHD tech-nical director.The other participating schools were E.O. Green
Junior High School, Cabrillo Middle School, Las Co-linas Middle School, Anacapa Middle School, Hay-dock Intermediate School, Fremont IntermediateSchool, Santa Rosa Technology Magnet School, RioVista Middle School, Robert J. Frank IntermediateSchool, and De Anza Academy of Technology andthe Arts.NSWCPHD’s National EngineersWeek Competition
was developed as a way to help students with an aptitudefor math and science discover the world of engineering.
