WHATS INSIDE

By Kimberly GearhartNBVC Public Affairs

Some families living at NavalBase Ventura County (NBVC)will soon begin seeing something

brand-new in the mail: utilitybills.

In compliance with guidancefrom the Office of the Secretaryof Defense, the Department ofthe Navy is rolling out the Resi-dent Energy Conservation Pro-gram, or RECP, throughout itsPublic Private Venture (PPV)housing. In Navy Region South-west, those units are managed byLincoln Military Housing.

Energy conservation is a crit-ical goal for the Navy across theboard, saidCapt. Larry Vasquez,NBVCs commanding officer.Those of us living on the instal-lation have to do our part aswell.

Currently, energy costs are in-cluded in military residents rent;research has shown that rentalresidents use more energy when

they do not see their bills or payutilities separately.

In 2014, NBVC residents livingin units managed by Lincoln willbegin receiving mock bills show-

Q: All summer weve been watching the weeds and

grass grow out of control due to budget cuts. Then, right

before and even during the shutdown, everything gets

cut, trimmed, manicured. If the government was out of

money, why did we suddenly have money for mowing the

grass?

A: Every scal year, we often have the opportunity to

gain some end-of-year maintenance funding. This year,

we secured funding to do a one-time grounds mainte-

nance operation, aimed at scaling back the overgrowth

that occurred during the summer. We also secured fund-

ing to begin repairs on the North Mugu Road gate at

NBVC Point Mugu, which has been closed since Febru-

ary awaiting repair funding.

Because of the gap in time between being notied

funds are available and the ability to actually mobi-

lize contractors to execute the requested tasks, we had

grounds maintenance folks cutting back overgrown

hedges just days before the government shutdown. As

government employees were heading home for nearly

three weeks, contractors were mobilizing to begin repairs

on our long-closed gate. On the surface, it is denitely

counter-intuitive.

But really, it is like ordering something online, and

its on back-order. It may show up at your house a month

later, but you paid for it or obligated the money for it,

in government terms back when the order was placed.

Money doesnt come out of this paycheck but out of the

check where you had all that overtime. This happens

quite frequently, but with the government shutdown, it

was glaringly obvious and somewhat confusing. Thank

you for allowing me the opportunity to explain.

Keep the questions and feedback coming! You can

submit via this forum at [email protected], online us-

ing the COs Suggestion Box at http://cnic.navy.mil/ven-

tura/index.htm or at www.Facebook.com/NavalBaseVen-

Where did the money come from to mow the grass during the shutdown?

A power outage will affect nearly all ofNaval Base Ventura County, Port Huen-eme, including housing areas, beginningat 7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, and continuing

until 7 a.m. Monday, Nov. 11.The power outage is required to repair

a substation damaged during an un-planned outage last December.

Public Works was able to make short-termrepairsand restore powerin Decem-ber, said Lt. Cmdr. Nick Leinweber, pro-duction officer with NBVCs Public WorksDepartment.

Public Works will take advantage of the

required outage to conduct maintenanceon other power substations throughout

the facility.These repairswill help ensure we avoid

future, similar outages, Leinweber said.Choosing a time and date for the outage

was difficult, explained Cmdr. Jim Brown,Public Works officer, but after discussingthe need with tenants and service provid-ers on the installation, Nov. 10-11 was

The marquee from the now-demolished1940s-era Mayfair Theater in Ventura is be-ing restoredso itcan be displayed inthe mu-seum as part of an exhibit onthe World WarII homefront.

Volunteers from the Naval ConstructionTraining Centerhad planned to workon themarquee in mid-October, but then the shut-down occurred and they couldnt get to thestructure.

With the exception of the first four daysof the shutdown, museum staff actually

stayedon thejobto protect Navy assets, buttheycouldntallow anyone on theproperty,explained Lara Godbille, museum direc-tor.

We hadto be sure there were no plumb-ing issues or electrical issues that could havedamaged the collections,she said.

RandyEilert,a retired SeabeewhoservedatPortHuenemein 1966 and1967,was glad

to see the museum open again. He and hiswife, Jackie, were visiting from Seattle andstopped by the first morning it reopened.Itwas sheer luck, they said; they didnt knowit had been closed.

Its a bird! Its a plane! No, its a dog competing in the NEX pet costume contest!

Seventeen animals including a blindcat and a lizard competed in a Hal-loween costume contest at the NavalBase

Ventura County, Port Hueneme, NavyExchange Saturday, Oct. 26.

The winner was a mixed terrier namedStewie whose owners had been up until 2in the morning finishing the dogs cos-tume: military fatigues for both the dogand the teddy bear he carried on hisback.

Georgia Arevalo, 16, and her mom,Georgina, drove up from Los Angeles forthe competition. Georgias dad, Staff Sgt.Rafael Arevalo of the ChannelIslands AirNational Guard 146th Airlift Wing, wasincredulous.

Hes been laughing at all the work weput into this, the teenager said as her fa-ther stuffed their winnings a massivegift bag full of pet supplies into theircar.

Ramiro Victoria, the Hardlines Divisionmanager at the NEX, said the hourlongcompetition was a real howl, with a mas-tiff dressed as a spider, a 4-month-old

Newfoundland dressed as a bee and a ter-rier dressed as a taco.The next pet event is a Pets with Santa

photo shoot from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday,Dec. 4. For more information call 982-6846.

For a variety of reasons, military fami-ies often choose homeschooling for their

children. These are the homeschoolingoptions available to California families:

Private School Affidavit (PSA): ThePrivate School Affidavit may be filed on-ine at the California Department of

Education website from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15

of every year. Schools that are createdafter the filing period should file at thetime the school is established. If you needto file your affidavit and cannot do so

lectronically or choose not to, you canstill file a Statement in Lieu. You bear re-sponsibility to adhere to allprivate schoolaws and maintain records. California

andates that certain subjects such aseading, social studies, math and sciencee taughtwhen you file thePrivate Schoolffidavit. Hiring a certified private home-

school tutor also falls under this option(Cal. Educ. Code 33190, 48222,

8224.) Public School Independent Study Pro-

ram (ISP) or Charter School: If you reg-ster with a public school ISP or charter

school, your child is still enrolled in pub-ic school but instruction is delivered at

home. You are considered a teachers aideand will be assigned a credentialed teach-er to oversee your program. You will needto keep the records required by the pro-gram in which you enroll. The amount offreedom you have in choosing what yourchild studies depends on the programspolicies and your assigned teacher. Mate-rials are available on loan. Support sys-tems are offered to varying degrees, de-pending on the school. Parents are askedto sign a contract agreeing that they willallow their child to be tested. Public pro-grams will not offer religious materials,

and any religious instruction must be afterthe recorded school hours. Please see yourschool liaison officer for a list of homecharter schools or information on inde-pendent study in your area (Cal. Educ.Code 51745.)

PrivateSchool Satellite Program (PSP):A PSP is a private school that has filed an

affidavit. If you enroll in a Private PSP, itacts as an administrative umbrella for yourfamilys private school. The private PSPfiles the Private School Affidavit annu-ally and keeps required records on file suchas attendance records, health records andan outlined course of study for each stu-dent. They may also keep track of cumu-lative files, grades, transcripts and testresults, if any. A small tuition fee will becharged for administrative and paperworkservices. When you sign up, you becomea teacher in that school. Your name andaddress do not appear on the affidavit,but the PSP is required to keep a listingof all teachers and their qualifications.Some PSPs offer a newsletter and activitieslike park days and field trips for theirmembers. Some PSPs offer curriculumpackages; guidance and requirements vary

with each school (Cal. Educ. Code 48222.)

Correspondence and Virtual Schools:K-12 online schools can be public or pri-vate depending on the route you choose.The programs work much like a PSP oran ISP, however the teacher is online andthey keep all the school records. The

amountof freedom andsupport varies onthe program and if it is public or private.The California Virtual Academy (CAVA)is one of the largest public (tuition-free)virtual schools in California (http://www.k12.com/cava/ ) and has programs world-wide that are ideal for families who willbe taking extended leave between dutystations.

If you are currently homeschooling orconsidering it as an option and youd beinterested in taking part in a Naval BaseVentura County (NBVC) homeschoolinggroup, please contact the NBVC schoolliaison officer. Depending on interest, wemay be starting one soon.

The NBVC school liaison officer can becontacted at 805-989-5211 or [email protected] for any K-12 education-relatedquestions.

This is one of my favorite times of year.The doorbell rings and I grab for thetrusted jack-o-lantern candy containerfilled to the brim. I enjoy seeing my doggo bananas tryingto figure outwhy some-one keeps ringing the doorbell every fiveminutes. She looks atme disappointed thatits not the pizza delivery guy and that I

seem to be giving all her treats away, andyet shes excited to see these strange littlecharacters all on her eye level. Her noseworks overtime trying to make sense of itall.

I have fun trying to guess what charac-ters thekidsat mydoor havecome up withfor the season. I get a kick out of the oldstandards. I pretend to guess, asking, Bat-man? Spiderman? They never catch onthat the bat signal or the spider on theirchest states the obvious. The kids are justhappy to be recognized.

The princess costumes are a little trick-ier. I really have to know my Snow Whitesfrom my Little Mermaids or I am told ina quick minute that I blew it. I think lastyear I blew it on Pocahontas.

The preteens are always the easiest.They come in themes. Two years ago, Ihad an array of vampires due to Twi-light fame. Last year, everyone who cameto my door wore a broken pair of glasses

and proclaimed to be nerds not sure ifthatwasa nod to The Big Bang Theoryor if Im not even in the right ballpark onthatone. This year Im guessing I will openmy door to a parade of zombies.

Whether I guess right or wrong, thepreteens always offer me the Youre solame stare, so its a win-win either way.

I do love how they wait until the littlekids are all tuckered out and then theycome back, thinking I have forgotten theywere there an hour before. Seriously, howcan you forget 12 nerds in a row?

And then there are my all-time favorites:the teens too cool to dress up but stillwanting candy and secretly still enjoyingtrick-or-treating. The teens justdont wantme to knowthat they still enjoy it. So theywait until Ive turned out the lights, andthey hover around my door.

Teens arevery noncommittal. They half-way face my door and halfway face thestreet, as if they were just passing throughthe neighborhood. Usually a cap is pulledway down over their face and hair coversone eye so they can neither see, nor beseen. Im onto them though, and I holdback some candy reserves just for them.

The games and the masquerade is all apart of the fun!

As adults, were pretty much the same.We actually never grow out of wearingour costumes. Sometimes we stride alongwith a big S on our chest, puffing outlike the whole world should know whowe are and should be happy to know us.Other times its a guessing game.

Depending on the day, were all thingsto all people, but no one really knowswho we are inside. There are times thatwe dont want to stand out, so we arewhat everyone else is for a time or a sea-son.

Then there are those times that wefully hide behind our masks. We dontwant to get too close because we fearpeople may really see us for who we are and maybe they wont like us.

As adults, we still play games, and westill masquerade as someone else, but Iam reminded of something this time ofyear.

With allof the games we play as people,

with all of our fears and insecurities, withall of the uncertainty and trust issues wehide, God reaches past our masks, ourlabels and our costumes and tells us that,Before I formed you in the womb I knewyou Jeremiah 1:5.

I love that! Theres no pretense. Theresno judgment. Theres just a calming,secure sense of belonging that some-one knows us for who we really are andloves us just the same.

So this season, when you open yourdoor and get a kick out of guessing

whos who in the parade of costumes,remember that someone knows YOUjust as you are and loves you just thesame.

May Gods presence be the strengthand sure foundation of your life!

Many of us wear masks and not just at Halloween

The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society(NMCRS) serves its mission by investinginthe men and woman who serve our coun-try.

The NMCRS invests both time andmoney into providing financial and educa-tional assistance to those in uniform andeligible family members. The long-term

goal of the Society is to help Sailors andMarines become financially self-sufficientandhelp them plan for unexpected expens-es.

As a not-for-profitorganization,NMCRSexistsonly on donated funds to providethatassistance. This means that your fellowservice members are contributing to yoururgent needs that cover a wide range ofareas. Without these donated funds,NMCRS would not be able to help eachpersonwho comes through the door need-ing financial assistance or resource refer-rals.

Sailors, Marines and family memberswho come into theoffice are greeted byourvolunteers, who give their time to the So-ciety and keep service uninterrupted. Arequest for funds to provide for an urgentneed is processed by a caseworker. Do-

nated money is used to provide short- andlong-term financial assistance, or evenemergency grants.

Many of the volunteers areconnected tothe military in some way and understandthe uniquenessof this lifestyle. From mov-ing to deployments to basic living expens-es, there is no onewho hasnot experienceda time in their life when a little moneywould have gone a long way. As retiredAdm. Steve Abbott, thepresident andchiefexecutive officer of NMCRS, recently

stated, Your donations mean feeding amilitary family whose home was damagedby a fire, making emergency repairs to thefamily car, traveling to a family membersbedside when illness strikes unexpectedly,or helping a family get ready for the ar-rival of their first child.

The zero-percent interest loans that

NSWC Dahlgren and NSWC Corona, par-ticipated in a successful test of the AegisBallistic Missile Defense (BMD) system,esulting in the intercept of a separating

ballistic missile target over the PacificOcean Oct. 3.

This test exercised the latest version ofthe second-generation Aegis BMD Weap-on System, capable of engaging longerrange and more sophisticated ballistic mis-siles.

Theevent, designated as Flight Test Stan-dard Missile-22 (FTM-22),is the fifth con-secutive successful intercept test of theAegis BMD Weapon System and the SM-3 Block 1B guided missile. Other AegisBMD intercepts employedthe Aegis BMD3.6 and4.0 with theSM-3Block1A missile,which is currently operationalaboard U.S.Navy ships deployed across the globe.

Findings of operational tests from all fiveFTM tests will support follow-on produc-tion decisions for the SM-3 Block 1Bguided missile.

As technology evolves, so do our warf-ighting capabilities,said Timothy Troske,

NSWC Port Hueneme Division technicaldirector. Port Hueneme Division and ourfellow warfare centers continue to innovateand improve missile defense systems so thatour Sailors are fully prepared to protectthis nation.

ing their energy usage, measuredagainst a baseline average forhomes of similar type and size intheir neighborhood.

The average usage is being estab-lished now, during a pre-mock-

billing phase that will continuethrough December. Housing isseparated into like-type groupsfor the purpose of establishing av-erages and billing standards; youremeasured against your neighborsin similar housing units.

A normal usage band is estab-lished for each like-type group,consisting of a range that is 10percent above and below the aver-age usage for that group. If yourusage falls within this band, yourusage would be covered as part ofyour rent.

If your usage during mock bill-ing falls above this band, its timeto look at ways to conserve energy.If youre still above the normal us-age band when live billing begins

in April, youll start incurringcharges,whichwill be due once youowe $25 or more.

However, if your usage falls be-low the normal usage band, youllsimilarly be due a credit at $25 ormore. You can also choose to leavethe credit on the books in case your

usage spikes later. The credit isthen paid when you clear housingduring your next move.

The program, first piloted inHawaii in 2011, has had demon-strated energy conservation ben-efits. According to the NavysRECP website, Navy residents inHawaii reduced overall energy useby 9 percent, saving approximate-ly $1.3 million in the first 12months.

That money is reinvested intoPPV housing projects locally.

Its a win-win for residents,Vasquez said. You have a real,tangible incentive to save, and asthe group saves more and more,they see more benefits, right intheir own back yard.

Residents of units managed by Lincoln Military Housing will beginreceiving mock bills like this in 2014. Real bills will start coming inApril, showing where their personal usage falls each month.

Help when you need it.The Fleet & Family

Support Center

November is the month designated to

recognize the Navys Exceptional FamilyMember Program (EFMP) a programthat makes sure the resources and ser-vices required by military dependents withspecial needs are identified and effective-ly utilized.

Navy family members with chronicmedical, mental health or developmentalconditions that require continual special-ty care or special education are requiredto enroll in the program.

In light of the worldwide lifestyle of theNavy, having a family while serving in the

ilitary comes with additional challenges.Providingcare for a loved one with specialneeds requires effective communicationwith the Navy to make sure these needsare being met. Enrollment in the EFMPallows the Navy to acknowledge the ser-

ice member is committed to a plan ofaction to provide exceptional care for the

nique needs of the dependent.The primary goal of the EFMP is to

nsure service members are assigned to

geographic areas where the medical (phys-ical, mental or emotional) or educationalneeds of their EFMs can be met. The de-tailing process also honors EFMP enroll-ment. Depending on the progression ofthe medical condition and the needs re-quired to sustain quality of life, Sailorswill be given the option to relocate ac-companied to an installation that has theneeded services and resources nearby.

One of the primary benefits of being

enrolled is that the program will also link

the Navy family to an EFMP liaison. Uti-lizing the Navy Family Accountability andAssessment System (NFAAS), the liaisoncontacts and monitors the newly enrolledfamilies for full program inclusion. Oncethe process is initiated, several steps aretaken to ensure the proper channels areproviding necessary information and refer-ral.

The Navy has taken many steps to hon-or and provide support for Sailors andtheir family members. The ExceptionalFamily Member Program is one exampleof serving the diverse needs of the Navyfamily.

Hopefully, this program will promotecommand readiness, peace of mind at theworkplace and increased morale for ourSailors with special needs situations. Itsparticipation in these types of programsthat permits todays Sailor to navigatethrough some rough waters with a truecompass.

If you have any questions regarding this,

or any other programFFSC offers,pleasefeel free to call NBVCs EFMP liaison,Gil Cajala, at (805) 982 2646.

One by one, cancer survivors approachedthe microphone to talk about their journeyfrom fearto recovery.

They talked aboutfaith, aboutpain, abouthope, but more than anything, they talkedabout self-awareness, about the importanceof listening to ones body.

I recommend that if you have any doubtsabout something, go get it checked out, shetold the audience. I knew that somethingwasnt right. Getting it checked right awaysaved my life.

Smith-Ferguson noticed an unusual spoton the side of her face. She went to a doctorand was told itwas nothing. Nine years later,she hadit checked againandfoundoutitwasmelanoma. It took two surgeries to remove itall.

Heritage Month, a new chapterof an organization that helps

entor and guide Hispanics in-erested in advancing theircareersn the Sea Services officiallyaunched Tuesday, Oct. 15, at

aval Base Ventura County(NBVC).

The signing of the charter ofhe Ventura County Chapter of

he Association of Naval Ser-icesOfficers (ANSO) took placeuring a lunch and celebration

outside Fleet Readiness CenterSouthwest (FRCSW) Detach-

ent Point Mugu. About 200eople attended.Among thespeakerswere Capt.

Larry Vasquez, commanding of-icer of NBVC,and retired Adm.

illiam Rodriguez, president of

he national chapter of ANSO.The local chapter honors Sgt.Rafael Peralta, a Marine killedn Iraq in 2004. Peralta, a recipi-nt of the Navy Cross and theamesake of the destroyer USS

Rafael Peralta (DDG-115) is bur-ed in San Diego, where his fam-ly lives.

In his speech, Vasquez dis-ussed the heroism of not only

Peralta, but also of Lt. Col. Al-

red Rascon, a Vietnam veteranrom Oxnard who received the

Medalof Honor, and theaccom-lishments of Supreme Courtustice Sonia Sotomayor.

Education coupled with oppor-unity, he said, made their suc-esses possible, as well as his

own.Vasquez, who is of Puerto Ri-

an descent, grew up in The

Bronx, the son of a father whoompleted eighth grade and aother who completed fourth.

Butthey stressed the importanceof higher education and made it

lear that college wasnt option-al.

Later on,he would find otherswith similar positive messagesand influences.

Mentors are critically impor-tant, he said, not just in theNavy, but in life.

He praised ANSO for fosteringsuch mentorships and for itscom-mitment to making sure the SeaServices remain diverse.

Rodriguez discussed the orga-nizations 33-year history andhow it has evolved from a groupprimarily interested in increasingan underrepresented Hispanicpresence among senior officers tomentoring and helping manage

thecareers of all Hispanicsin theNavy, Marine Corps, CoastGuard and Merchant Marine.

The first officers of the Ven-tura County chapter ANSOs14th were sworn in during thecelebration. President is ChiefNaval Aircrewman MechanicalRicardo Juarez of Air Test andEvaluation Squadron (VX) 30.

Vice president is Chief Master atArms Jose Camacho of NavalBranch Health Clinic. Secretaryis Senior Chief Air Traffic Con-troller Michael Garcia ofNBVC.

In addition to developing our

senior and junior sailors, we willbe providing community out-

reach, Juarez said.A lunch buffet was also partofthe celebration. It included thePeruvian dishes of Chili PepperChicken in Yellow Sauce and Ci-lantro Rice Chicken, as well asPosole, a Mexican soup made

ment very special.Regos leadership sprung at a criticaltime. The state-of-the-art fueling facilityneeded to be built in order for NMCB 3sconstruction civic action detail (CCAD)andengineers from the F-FDTL, the Aus-tralian Defence Force (ADF) and MarineCorps to continue work ona new $1.5 mil-lion, 3,000-square-foot military headquar-ters. The team was facing a $5,000 chargein penalties each day the fuel facility re-mained delayed.

With this, Rego was called to the front.I needed someone who couldmake sure

that all the critical project milestones weremet in a timely fashion,said Warrant Of-ficer Bill Fry, ADF Royal Australian En-gineer and Sapper 13 officer-in-charge.Rego has impressed me with her perfor-mance as a crew leader and a mentor ontheSapper 13 joint exercise. I knew she was

perfect for the job.Rego led 14 Seabees during the construc-

tion. Under her supervision, the teampoured eight cubic yards of concrete, in-stalled a 30-foot security housing with a

theft-preventing fence and craned in themassive diesel tank to hold the fuel.

Although well-planned, one mistakecould have cost the team thousands in pen-alty fees or possibly even their lives.

She is a rising star, said ConstructionElectrician 1st Class Colby Wightman. Ihave never seen someone progress in theSeabees as fast a she has. She is a naturalleader, and Im excited to watch her con-tinue to grow and do great things.

In an area prone to natural disasters, thePacific Region relies on solid leadershipandrigid professionalism to guarantee theirpopulations safety.

The stellar Seabee heritage in the Pa-cific is in good hands with Seabees likeRego, Wightman said.

Sapper 13 is a 28-day joint exercise in-volvingSeabees and engineers from Timor-Lestes F-FDTL, the U.S. Marine Corpsandthe RAECorps. In addition to thenewfueling facility and military headquarters

building, the team is building a school,renovating two others and two rural med-ical clinics and constructing a rock jettyand floating pier.

TheCCADs overall mission is to executeengineering civic assistance projects, con-duct formal training with the host nationand perform community relations eventsto help enhance shared capabilities andimprove the countrys social welfare.

NMCB 3 has split into nine details onthis deployment. Some are performingcritical construction projects in remote is-land areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga,Cambodia and the Philippines; others areconducting operations in Atsugi, Yoko-suka and Okinawa, Japan; Chinhae, Re-public of Korea; and China Lake.

It takes about two weeks after vaccina-

ion for your body to develop an immuneesponse. Get vaccinated now so youll berotected all season long!Influenza is a contagious respiratory

isease that infects the nose, throat andungs and can lead to serious complica-ions, hospitalization or even death. Pneu-

onia and bronchitis are examples ofserious flu-related complications. The flualso can cause certain health conditionsto become worse, like diabetes, asthma,and heart and lung disease.

While flu activity usually peaks in Jan-

uary or February, the flu itself is unpre-dictable. And although there are manydifferent flu viruses, the yearly flu vaccineprotects against the three viruses that re-search suggests will be most common thisflu season.

Everyone 6 months and older shouldget a flu vaccine each year, especially if

you are at high risk for complications orif you live with or care for someone whois. The vaccination is especially importantfor the following groups:

Pregnant women. Children younger than 5, but espe-

cially children younger than 2. People 50 and older. People of any age with certain chron-

ic medical conditions. People who live in nursing homes and

other long-term care facilities.

People who live with or care for those

at high risk for complications from flu. Health care workers. Household contactsof persons at high

risk for complications from the flu. Household contacts and out-of-home

caregivers of children younger than 6months, as these children are too youngto be vaccinated.

Those with egg allergies may also beable to receive the seasonal flu vaccina-tion and should please contact theirhealth care provider for an evaluation.

Flu vaccines may also be received at nocost from any TRICARE-authorizedprovider or atone of theTRICAREretailnetwork pharmacies that participate inthe vaccination program. To find a par-ticipating pharmacy, search online atwww.express-scripts.com/members/por-talAlerts/vaccines/ or call 877-363-

ultimately determined to have the leastimpact across the facility because of theVeterans Day holiday.

Emergency services such as fire and se-curity will be ready and able to responddespite the power outage.

The power outage will close the gaspumps at the Navy Exchange (NEX) atNBVC Port Hueneme and Point Mugu;the Point Mugu locations pay at thepump feature is relayed via Internetthrough the Port Hueneme location, whichwill be without power.

Both the NEX and commissary areplanning to open at normally scheduled

times for the Veterans Day holiday; Mo-rale, Welfare and Recreation facilities willalso operate on regular holiday sched-ules.

Rooms are available to rent at MidwayEstates, which will not be affected by the

poweroutage,for those residents whowishto avoid impacts of the outage.

We realize this is an inconvenience,said Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVCs com-manding officer, but its necessary to

ensure stable, consistent service in the fu-ture. Were in the customer service businesshere at NBVC, and the people living andworking here deserve the best service wecan give them.

Public Works offers the following tipsto prepare for the night-long outage:

Get flashlights, batteries, candles, etc.ready ahead of time.

Turn refrigerators and freezers to acoldersettingprior to theoutage andkeepfreezer and refrigerator doors closed

throughout the outage. Add water, juice, soda or other liquids

to the refrigerator ahead of time to holdthe cool temperatures inside the refrig-erator longer.

Charge cell phones, tablets, computers,

etc., in advance. Cable and Internet ser-vice will be down, so Internet will belimited to whats provided through cel-lular service.

Turn off lights, TVs and appliances

beforehand and unplug them to preventsurge damage once power is restored. Use extreme caution when using al-

ternative heating or cooking sources.Never use camp stoves, charcoal-burninggrills or propane or kerosene heatersindoors. Do not use a gas stove or ovento heat the house. All pose a risk of fireand carbon monoxide poisoning. Manycarbon monoxide detectors plug intooutlets and therefore will not functionduring the power outage.

If using a portable generator, plugappliances into the generator. Genera-tors also produce deadly carbon mon-oxide, so be careful when placing it.Never refuel the generator while it isrunning.
