Summer is here! We had a great fireworks
show to celebrate our independence, and the
June gloom has cleared. Now comes the warm,
sunny days and cool, breezy nights we all know
and love here in coastal Southern California.
That means it’s time for summer hours at the
pool, Vacation Bible School at the Seabee Cha-
pel and summer offerings from Child and Youth
Programs.
It also means more kids riding bikes, skate-
boards and scooters, playing ball, and just enjoy-
ing the freedom of summer. Those of us driving
home from work, or anywhere aboard Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC), can help keep our
children safe all summer long by exercising a
little more caution while we drive.
Drivers, be mindful of children playing in
yards or along sidewalks, and slow down, espe-
cially when driving through residential areas.
Allow yourself a little extra time to get to your
destination and a little more time to react to the
unexpected.
Parents, please teach your children how to
stay safe playing outdoors this summer. Show
them how to safely cross the street, to look both
ways and to be mindful of cars both on the streets
and in parking areas. Be watchful, be conscious,
and above all, be careful! Together we can en-
sure our children have a safe and happy summer.
Do you have questions, comments, or sug-
gestions? I want to hear them! Reach me here
by emailing [email protected], on Facebook
at www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty
or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifor-
nia. You can also go online to our homepage at
http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm and use
the Commanding Officer’s Suggestion Box. I
look forward to hearing from you.
It’s summer: Be careful out there!w

In an emotional ceremony honoring the
most senior of our nation’s veterans, the
chief staff officer of Naval Base Ventura
County saluted and shook hands with
about two dozen men and women who
retired decades ago, thanking each and
every one for their service.
Capt. Scott Loeschke was also the key-
note speaker for the event, the sixth an-
nual Salute to Our Veterans at the Cypress
Place senior living facility in Ventura.
Loeschke talked about the Navy’s pres-
ence around the world, emphasizing “the
great work Sailors are doing every day.”
He talked about Operation Tomodachi,
in which 20,000 Sailors were sent to help
Japan after the devastating 2011 earth-

It started out as a way to ease
the stress of deploying Sailors
whose families were going
through immigration issues.
Eleven years later, officials
say, it has become a unique
service that has yet to be suc-
cessfully duplicated at any
other military base in the West-
ern Region.
Once every three months,
U.S. Citizenship and Immigra-
tion Services officers visit Na-
val Base Ventura County

From10 a.m. to 1 p.m., peo-
ple with base access can stop
by the Region Legal Service
Office (RLSO) Detachment
Ventura, across from the Wel-
come Center, and talk one-on-
one about immigration issues
facing them or their family
members. If they’ve made an

The Pleasant Valley Road gate of Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme was closed for several hours Tuesday,
July 8, as about 200 people attended a media-saturated rally supporting permanent U.S. residency for Central American
children crossing the border without relatives. Building 267, a converted warehouse on base where Reserve Sailors used
to stay while preparing for deployment, is currently being used by the Department of Health and Human Services to house
up to 575 of the teenagers while they await reunification with their families or placement with a sponsor and subsequent
immigration hearings.
All persons eligible to hunt waterfowl alone
aboard Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu are invited to participate in the an-
nual repair of hunting blinds.
Personnel eligible to hunt waterfowl include
active duty, reserve and retired military person-
nel; current and retired NBVC Department of
Defense civil service personnel; and NBVC con-
tractor personnel with an NBVC ID badge.
Blind repair will take place during the month
of September, specific dates to be determined.
On or after August 1, volunteers can email
their name, phone numbers — preferably two
— and eligibility status to Vern at NBVChunt-
[email protected]. You may not sign up someone
else. You may not sign up earlier than August
1 unless you will be TAD or out of town on that
date.
All requests are due no later than Friday, Aug.
22.
Volunteers will be notified of their assign-
ments in early September.
There are a limited number of blinds in need
of repair; therefore, volunteers will be taken on
a first-come, first-served basis.
Volunteers earn six priority chits to be used
during the hunting season to increase their
chances of getting a desired blind assignment.

An important part of my job is ensuring
that parents knowthe educational options
for their children. More and more, I am
hearing from families interested in home-
schooling.
It is not uncommon for military families
to choose to homeschool. Homeschooling
allows military-connected children to have
a consistent educational program wher-
ever the family may be living. Home-
schooling also allows families to move at
any time; since a service member can be
transferred anytime of year, families with
children in traditional schools are some-
times forced to be separated for awhile so
the children can finish out the school year.
Also, since military families are often af-
forded the opportunity to travel to new
places, homeschooling allows the class-
room to go on the road.
As is the case with many educational
issues, every state is different when it
comes to homeschool regulations. In
California, parents are offered options for
how they will implement a homeschool.
In every situation, children ages 6 to 16
must be accounted for and enrolled in a
program.
Private school affidavit
Many California families choose to com-
ply with the state’s attendance lawby estab-
lishing a private school in their own home.
These families file a private school affidavit
with their local county board of education
or the state Department of Education, just
like their local established private schools
do. Since the EducationCode allows anyone
toestablisha private school of any size, with
any philosophy, employing whatever teach-
ers they choose, parents use this legal provi-
sion to homeschool. Many years ago, the
California Department of Education used
to question the legality of these very small
private schools but nowagrees that the law
permits parents to formthese schools. Par-
ents can find support via local homeschool
networks and create their own curriculum
or purchase widely available curriculum
programs.
Public/charter homeschool
Becomingmore popular, “brickandmor-
tar”public and charter schools are offering
homeschool programs tointerestedfamilies.
These are public (free) schools, andstudents
must check in regularly to turn in assign-
ments, take tests and receive instruction.
However, the majority of schoolwork is
done at home with the parent. Students are
required to take standardized tests annu-
ally, with scores reported to the California
Department of Education.
Another option is a “virtual” charter
school. Students will check in regularly on-
line, receive assignments and test online as
well. Students take state standardized tests
annually witha test proctor. This optionhas
proventobe helpful tomilitaryfamilies who
are in the process of moving and choose to
take extended leave while making the
move.
Private tutor
The private tutoring exemptionallows for
families to employ a private tutor. This
means that the student will need to be in-
structed for at least three hours each day,
175 days a year, by a teacher who holds a
valid California teaching credential for the
grade taught. The cost is the responsibility
of the parents. If a parent has a valid (in-
state) teaching credential, he or she can act
as tutor for the child. Tutors are not required
to file with the county or state or to keep
attendance records. The tutor must have a
credential appropriate to the grade level of
the child or children being taught: a parent
with an elementary credential would not
meet the requirement for teaching their high
school student andwouldneedtofindsome
other way to comply with the law.
Would any current homeschool families
be interested in a homeschool support
group? If so, please let me know. This is
something I would love to support if an
interest exists.

Ever have one of those days when you
wake up thinking it’s going to be a great
day, you go into the kitchen to start your
morning coffee — and you find there’s a
puddle of water around the bottom of
your kitchen sink?
You thumb through the directory for a
plumber who is 24/7 because you have to
get to work on time and sure enough the
repairs are made, and the rather large bill
reflects it too!
Now, two hours late to work, you’re on
the road and you hear a knocking sound.
It’s your car’s way of telling you that it’s
old and tired and your bad day has only
just begun.
You drive the car to the shop after work
and find out it has to stay overnight be-
cause they don’t have the parts to fix the
multiple things they discovered once they
raised the hood. So you thumb through
your credit cards and choose the one that
may cover it, call for a rental car and fi-
nally make it home.
Then the coughing begins. Sure enough,
you’ve come down with the flu.
It’s almost as if you’re the little Dutch
boy in American folklore who discovers
the dike is leaking, so you wait out in the
cold overnight hoping help is on the way
and the only thing holding back the flood
is your thumb.
I think we’ve all had those days and
nights where we say, “God where are you?
Why can’t anything go right? Why am I
left here holding the bag all alone?”
The first thing we can do —and it seems
rather obvious, but in a state of panic it
is not always the first conclusion we come
to —is we can invite God into our present
circumstance. When we ask Him to come
into the middle of the mess, our prayer is
soon met with the realization of His pres-
ence and peace, despite the chaos sur-
rounding us.
The second thing we can do is ask Him
for wisdom and guidance on how to go
about fixing the problem. I can tell you
that looking at the myriad ads in the phone
book for a plumber can be daunting, but
praying for someone competent and fair
invites God to direct the selection pro-
cess.
Next, trust God in the midst of your
circumstance. We all knowthe part of the
23rd Psalm that says, “Though I walk
through the valley…”God doesn’t always
deliver us from our valleys; more often
than not, He walks through them with us
and teaches us something as our circum-
stances are being resolved. Romans 8:28
(NIV) says, “And we know that in all
things, God works for the good of those
who love Him, who have been called ac-
cording to His purpose.”
Which brings me to the last thought. As
a teenager, most of us probably called
upon our dad at some point to ask for
money to get us out of a jam. Dad com-
plied out of love for us, but it would be
weird if we called someone else’s dad who
didn’t know us and asked for a few bucks
to relieve our circumstance.
It’s the same with God. He works things
out for our good because we have a rela-
tionship with Him. He knows us, and we
knowHim. So rather than waiting to cold
call Him when you’re in a jam, why not
start by forming a relationship with Him
today? He’s waiting for your call!
May God’s presence be the strength and
sure foundation of your life!
Why delay? God is waiting for your call

of the speakers, along with three
Navy spouses.
Registration will begin at 7:30
a.m., and the conference will run
from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Titled “The Complete Woman,”
the conference will center around the
verse, “Now may the God of peace
make you Complete in every good
work to do His will.” (Hebrews

Yellow bins to collect non-perishable
foods during this time of year when food
banks are stretched thin have been set up
all across Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) for the Feds Feed Families cam-
paign.
Once again, the Navy is participating in
this government-wide food drive led by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture with
support from other federal agencies.
The chaplain’s office is tracking and
managing donations, which will be ac-
cepted through the end of August.
While food banks usually see large
amounts of food on their shelves over the
winter months, donations typically trail
off after the holidays.
Last year, the federal campaign brought
in 9 million pounds of food in the three-
month summer program. The Navy con-
tributed 1.2 million pounds of the 1.8
million pounds that came from the De-
partment of Defense.
For more information and other ways
to get involved, visit www.fedsfeedfamilies.
gov.
Bins are at the following locations:
• NBVCPort Hueneme: Personnel Sup-
port Detachment (PSD), Fleet & Family
Support Center; near the pharmacy at the
Naval Branch Health Clinic; dental office;
Naval Construction Group 1 and the Sea-
bee Chapel.
• NBVC Point Mugu: Building 1 and
the Navy Exchange.
Federal food drive continues on base

Raquel Gomez selects a free wedding dress at Camarillo Bridal through the annual Brides Across America event Wednesday, July 9. With no preconceived notions, she tries four styles
before deciding on the natural-waisted ballgown below. Gomez is engaged to Lt. Christopher Rock of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 5.

Raquel Gomez had no idea of the wedding dress she wanted.
EngagedtoLt. Christopher Rockof Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion (NMCB) 5 and planning a March wedding in Big Sur,
Gomez entered Camarillo Bridal at noon Wednesday, July 9, and
begansorting throughthe 120 gowns being givenaway throughthe
annual Brides Across America program.
She tried on three, then hit the jackpot —a natural-waisted ball-
gown by Jasmine Bridal that retailed for $1,700.
“That was much easier than I expected,” said her mother, Carol
Gomez, who came with Raquel’s friend, Tracy Coert.
In all, eight dresses were given away that day, a far cry from the
40 or more of years past.
“Every year is a little different,” said Tabitha Bigbee, the store’s
director of first impressions. “Sometimes it’s just timing.”
That timing was ideal for Gomez.
“I just got engaged in June,” she said. “Thank you, Chris, for
proposing to me at the perfect time.”
Tiffany Dalke was the first one to choose a dress. Knowing how
crowdedthe event hadbecome inpast years, she arrivedat the store
at 5:30 a.m., even though it didn’t open until noon.
She and Construction Electrician 3rd Class Courtney Dalke of
NMCB3 were married in March of 2013 but put off having a real
wedding. They’re leaving the area next March and will have the
event wherever they end up.
When it happens, Dalke will be wearing a Maggie Sottero dress,
layered with white organza.
Store owner Pamela Henderson said Brides Across America is
her favorite event of the year.
“I love doing this,”she said. “They are always so grateful and so
nice. We get so many thank you’s, and that makes it so worth it.”
Military brides choose free wedding gowns
As Tabitha Bigbee, director of first
impressions at Camarillo Bridal, looks on,
Kristine Carandang of Long Beach decides
on the dress she’ll wear to her upcoming
wedding. It was the third one she’d tried on.
Carandang drove to Camarillo for the Brides
Across America event when a mandatory
business meeting was canceled. Her fiance
is stationed in San Diego.

Summer brings us another PCS sea-
son — and that means turnover at the
Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
(NMCRS).
While we are always sad to see our
volunteers go, their departure creates
openings that afford others the oppor-
tunity to learn or improve highly mar-
ketable career skills while maintaining
the flexibility of a self-directed sched-
ule.
The positions available at the Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) site range
from the friendly face that greets our
clients to those who do the heavy lifting
of Thrift Shop donations. We have
something for everyone.
Volunteers progress through our client
service training, and they assume lead-
ership and supervisory roles as program
coordinators. We have training available
on the most up-to-date technology:
Windows 8.1, Microsoft Office 2013,
Lync and SharePoint.
Here are just a few of the current
openings:
• Community outreach coordina-
tors.
• Family budgeting class instructors.
• Client services assistants.
• Resource referral specialists.
• Financial counselors.
• Volunteer staff coordinators.
Whether you are looking for a way to
establish workplace experience, avoid
gaps on your resume or acquire a local
reference, volunteering at NMCRS can
help. We believe in putting the volunteer
first by creating a workplace that con-
centrates on professional development
and exceptional client service.
We also provide mileage and family-
care reimbursements for every hour of
volunteer time.
To join our team, email us at ventu-
[email protected] or fill out the volunteer
interest form on our website: nmcrs.

Taking charge of your health
and wellness through a regular
yoga practice is one of the best
gifts people can give themselves.
Studies continue to prove that
a daily yoga practice is beneficial
in reducing the effects of stress,
of increasing flexibility, and of
reducing joint pain and improv-
ing the immune system. Ahealthy
immune system helps fight dis-
ease and delays the aging pro-
cess.
Traditional yoga refers to a
practice of physical, mental and
spiritual disciplines that origi-
nated thousands of years ago.
Yoga means “yoke”; therefore,
the practice of yoga integrates
body, mind and spirit and restores
natural internal energy through
a gentle stretching of the body.
Here at the Bee-Fit, our prac-
tice is based on the Iyengar meth-
od, which uses supportive props
such as straps, blocks, blankets
and chairs, allowing us to modi-
fy the exercises to meet individu-
al needs. This makes it adaptable
to different populations of di-
verse abilities and needs.
Classes typically begin with a
few minutes of quiet meditation,
focusing on diaphragmatic
breathing to help still the mind
and relax the body, thereby oxy-
genating every cell in the body.
The class continues with gentle
movement of the joints to warm
up the body and prepare it for
stretching and strengthening of
the muscles and tissues. Focusing
on rhythmic breathing helps bring
about circulation of the blood,
which helps increase the energy
needed to perform the asanas
(poses).
Practicing seated and standing
asanas continues the development
of strength, flexibility and bal-
ance. Props are used as needed.
Breathing is emphasized. With
permission, a participant can re-
ceive additional help from the
instructor.
Finally, a few minutes are re-
served for quiet reflection, medi-
tation and well-deserved deep
relaxation.
Yoga is offered every Monday
from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Bee-Fit
Center. For more information,
call 805-982-4726.
Easily adaptable for all abilities, yoga has proven benefits

You can’t really blame Lois Harnois for
wanting to take a nap after her Monday
morning yoga class at the Bee-Fit Wellness
Center at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme.
After all, she’s 95 years old.
Harnois is one of five regulars at the 10
a.m. “Gentle Yoga” class who’s over the
age of 80.
The instructor is 82.
“Yoga is a great formof exercise because
you can modify it for anyone,” said Ra-
mona Pagel, manager of the Bee-Fit. “And
these seniors can teach a lot to the young-
sters in the class — the military personnel
and the federal workers who are getting
ready to retire.”
Nearly 30 people attend the weekly class,
half of themregulars; almost all are retired.
The class recently tookHarnois tothe Bard
Mansion for her 95th birthday celebration.
That was the June outing; the group cele-
brates somebody’s birthday nearly every
month.
“There’s a lot of socialization with this
class,” Pagel said. “They’ll come to class
thengoout for coffee afterwards. They have
birthday parties. They also organize trips
—they recently went toMeditationMount
in Ojai — and they look out for one an-
other.”
Pagel says it’s not uncommon for her to
be asked to make a check-up call if a regu-
lar doesn’t show up.
“If there’s a no-show, andthe personlives
alone, everyone gets concerned,” Pagel
said.
Harnois’ husbandof 58 years, Raymond,
a Navy veteran, says he’s more than happy
to drive his wife to class every Monday.
“Something like this gets people out of
the house,” he said. “She gets to intermin-
gle with the other ladies. And every month
they have a birthday party for someone,
which is really nice.”
Instructor Romey Acebo calls Harnois
a “very bright, classy and positive-thinking
senior athlete.”
Harnois credits her good health to regu-
lar exercise and the fact that she doesn’t eat
much meat.
“I take walks,” she said.
And now that she and Raymond have a
poodle, those walks are mandatory.
Askedif she dancedwhenshe was young-
er, Harnois’ eyes lit up, and she asked Ray-
mond to answer.
“Oh yeah,” he said. “She was a marvel-
ous dancer.”
In fact, that’s how they met. He asked
her to dance, she said, “No, thank you,”he
asked at the next song and she said, “All
right, I’ll dance this time.”
Four years later they were married.
Raymond will be 86 next month, and
he’s looking forward to many more years
of shuttling his wife to yoga classes.
“She’s a nice lady,” he says.

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 5 build a shade structure at
the YMCA of the Rockies, Snow Mountain Ranch, near Granby, Colo., last month. The first
of three groups of 25 Seabees departed June 15 for the park to receive training while
improving the community.
NMCB 5 Public Affairs
Naval Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 5 has sent 75 Seabees to the
YMCA of the Rockies to make improve-
ments and repairs to the Snow Mountain
Ranch in Granby, Colo., under the In-
novative Readiness Training (IRT) pro-
gram.
IRT is a Department of Defense pro-
gramthat allows military units to improve
readiness through hands-on construction
training while assisting communities in the
United States.
“The IRT in Colorado has two pur-
poses,” said Lt. Cmdr. Chris Casne,
NMCB5’s operations officer. “It gives our
Seabees a chance to further develop con-
struction experience and give back to our
community.
“It is difficult to find specific technical
skills projects which we can complete from
start to finish, on the base or in the area,
before deploying again,” he added. “The
IRTs are great for us to be able to train
and to maintain our high quality of work
standard.”
The Seabees arrived June 15. Through
July 26, they’re building shade structures,
a dog park with running water and a stor-
age facility. They are also placing concrete
and installing a heating and ventilation
system.
“The heating system presents a chal-
lenge for our crew,” Senior Chief Con-
struction Electrician Rajon Martin said
at the beginning of the project. “The ma-
jority of our troops do not have experience
in fabricating these systems, and it will
take some time to train them.”
The battalion sent 25 Seabees at two-
week intervals to allowfor more personnel
to receive training.
The battalion relieved Seabees from
NMCB 11, which arrived in Granby June
7. During their stay, they built two shade
structures and placed a concrete pad.

In 1956, at the age of 60, Tressa “Grandma”Pris-
brey began making sculptures out of used glass
bottles in Simi Valley. Bottle Village eventually be-
came a cluster of 13 buildings and 22 sculptures that
is now on the National Register of Historic Plac-
es.
In 1992, Lin Evola melted down weapons that had
been turned in to lawenforcement agencies and used
the metal to create her first Peace Angel. One of her
works served as a place of remembrance for workers
at Ground Zero and is now part of the 9/11 Memo-
rial Museum.
Last spring, right around Earth Day, Preschool 1
(P1) at the Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme Child Development Center used egg car-
tons and food boxes to create a “croc-o-gator,” and
Preschool 2 (P2) used paper towel rolls, pipe clean-
ers and crinkled paper to make a robot appropri-
ately named R2-P2.
Art made out of recyclables: You never know
where it might lead.
“We wanted to show the kids that you can take
items from the environment and reuse them to cre-
ate art,” explained Tamara Lo-Ray, director of the
center. “It’s a good thing to teach, and we wanted
them to be creative.”
A croc-o-gator is definitely creative.
Noah Pluid, the 4-year-old son of Jennifer and
Fire Controlman 1st Class Lyle Pluid of Naval Sur-
face Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC
PHD) coined the phrase, said Kathleen Chua, who’s
enjoying her first year as a full-time preschool teach-
er at the Child Development Center.
Like the name, the creature is a hybrid.
“We put it together like a puzzle.” Chua said.
The class, made up of 3- to 5-year-olds, had sev-
eral boxes to work with: a Special Kcereal box, some
Swiss Miss hot cocoa boxes, a Honey Maid graham
cracker box.
“We put all these flat boxes together, then we used
the egg cartons for a back,” Chua said. “They did
all the gluing. It just evolved from what we had.”
Celia Marin, the P2 teacher, said the robot was
one of several ideas the kids came up with.
“They talked about a boat and a spaceship,” she
said. “But they thought the robot would work bet-
ter.”
Pipe cleaners serve as joints for the limbs made of
paper towel rolls.
Egg carton pieces are buttons on the diaper-box
body, and a protein powder can is a rotating head.
Crinkly paper creates a Shirley Temple hairstyle.
“This was a real collaboration of the older and
younger students in the classroom,” Marin said.
Once the robot was put together, the youngsters
coated it with papier mache to make it easier to
paint.
“They had to make something with what they
had,” Marin said. “And they came up with it.”
The art of recycling: Preschoolers put trash to good use

head, a protein powder can, is able to rotate and even pop
off. The robot is named R2-P2.

They say that as they pull back the bow,
as they focus on that tiny target 20 yards
in front of them, the pain goes away.
For Navy Counselor 1st Class Misty
Taylor, it’s the pain of being a “gassing”
victim — getting hit by the bodily fluids
and garbage hurled at her by Guantanamo
Bay detainees.
For Aviation Structural Mechanic 1st
Class John Dusseau, it’s the pain of che-
motherapy.
And for Chief Logistics Specialist Aver-
ill Malone, it’s the pain of crowds, loud
noises and anything else that can make
him “spazz out.”
“My family sees the difference,” Malo-
ne says. “They say that since I started this,
I’m happy.”
“This” is archery, and these Sailors are
good at it — so good that they’ve been
chosen to compete for the Navy in the
Warrior Games this fall in Colorado
Springs, Colo.
Eight athletes will represent Team Navy
in archery. They were among the 33 in-
jured, seriously ill and wounded Sailors
training for the Warrior Games last week
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme.
In addition to archery, Sailors trained
in swimming, sitting volleyball, wheelchair
basketball, shooting, cycling and track
and field events. They were welcomed on
base Wednesday, July 9, by Command
Master Chief Percy Trent, and they trained
the rest of the week at the Seabreeze
Aquatics Center, Duke’s, the Bee-Hive
Gym and at local high schools.
From Sept. 28 through Oct. 3, they’ll be
going up against the best Wounded War-
rior athletes in the Army, Air Force, Ma-
rine Corps and Special Operations Com-
mand at the U.S. Olympic Training
Center.
A few of the archers have been to the
Warrior Games before, including Dusseau.
He was in second place after the qualify-
ing round, but then his release malfunc-
tioned on his compound bow and he
ended up finishing fifth overall.
“This time that’s not going to happen,”
he said. “Plus, I’ve got more experience
and determination. I won’t let my nerves
get to me.”
Dusseau has been in the Navy for 17
years and is stationed at Navy Recruiting
Station Holland, Michigan, his home
state. He tells the story of how he picked
up a bow when he was 14 years old and
shot three arrows into the bull’s eye. His
parents told him that when he could hit a
target from 10 yards, he could hunt for
deer, that they’d be confident he knew
what he was doing.
“So I hit the target and went deer hunt-
ing,” he says. “A nice deer came out — and
I couldn’t shoot it.”
And for the next 24 years, his archery
career was over.
Then came the cancer. He was diag-
nosed in 2011.
“The concentration and the drive of this
sport forces you to block out the pain you
have,” Dusseau said. “You also learn to
deal with your emotions. You block ev-
erything out, and it frees you to do what
you need to do to get things accomplished.
You set aside life’s difficulties.”
Physically, he said, archery builds upper
body strength.
“And it get you out there,” he said.
Dusseau shoots nine to 10 hours a
month. There’s an archery range near Hol-
land that lets him practice for free.
The training camp itself, he said, helps
with his recovery.
“You get to see what everyone else is
going through,” he said. “It gives me the
power to go through it too.”
Malone, who is attached to Walter Reed
National Military Medical Center in
Bethesda, Maryland, began archery in
February as a way to fight off symptoms
of post-traumatic stress, anxiety and de-
pression. He’ll be competing for the first
time in September.
“It relaxes me,” he said of archery. “I
enjoy it.”
Taylor, who’s assigned to Assault Craft
Unit 1 at Naval Base Coronado, is compet-
ing in both archery and swimming.
“I’ve been swimming pretty much all
my life, but being coached and learning
proper technique, only about a year,” she
said.
A hospital corpsman before converting
to counselor, she found that recreational
therapy helped her cope with her post-
traumatic stress.
“I tend to get easily frustrated with my-
self and overthink things,” she said.
“Coach is working with me to relax, to
make sure I’m shooting with the proper
form and that I’m not focusing on, ‘Oh,
I didn’t get it.’”
Like Dusseau, she has found that team-
ing up with other Wounded Warriors is
helpful.
“We all have our own quirks, and we’re
able to help each other,” Taylor said. “It’s
so inspiring how far people have come and
the obstacles they’ve overcome. There’s a
broad spectrum of injuries and illnesses
that allows us to be more compassionate

She has high praise for the coach, Travis Akin,
himself a Wounded Warrior. He earned a medical
retirement in 2010 — from the Army.
“We tease him about that,” she said.
But she and her teammates appreciate the ex-
perience he brings to practice.
“Everything has a positive aspect,” Taylor said.
“He understands. He gets it when someone is hav-
ing a bad day.”
Until the Warrior Games trials earlier this year
in Norfolk, Virginia, Taylor had never been on a
sports team, “not even growing up,” she said.
She’s enjoying the experience.
“It’s great to be on a team where your team-
mates inspire you,” she said. “Just knowing they’re
out there and they’re not giving up makes you
want to make your teammates proud.”w

seriously ill athletes from Team Navy attended the training camp at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme in preparation for the Warrior Games in Colorado later this year.

Swimming coach Casey Johnson advises retired AT3 Angel Segarra as he practices his backstroke
Thursday, July 10, in preparation for the Warrior Games later this year.

When six of his vertebrae were fused
and he lost the arch in his back, retired
Aviation Technician 3rd Class Angel
Segarra couldn’t swim forward on his
belly anymore.
So he flipped over.
Segarra, who is paralyzed from the waist
down, will compete for Team Navy in the
backstroke at the Warrior Games later this
year in Colorado Springs, Colo.
“It’s a lot of fun — another challenge
I’m able to take on,” Segarra said as he
took a short break from a training camp
workout in the Seabreeze Aquatics Center
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme.
Segarra was one of 33 Navy athletes
taking part in four days of intense training
on base. Eleven of the athletes are swim-
mers who will compete in one or more of
the following competitions: backstroke,
breaststroke, freestyle and relay.
“It’s an exciting opportunity,” said their
coach, Casey Johnson.
She enjoys watching the athletes trans-
form as they enter a swimming pool — the
world’s greatest equalizer for people with
a disability.
“Swimming lets them feel close to their
old self,” she said. “They just have to fig-
ure out a new technique that works best
for them. There is no ‘correct form’ here.
It’s whatever works best for you and makes
you the fastest.”
Swimmer takes on challenge
with each other. It builds camaraderie.”
She has high praise for the coach, Travis Akin,
himself a Wounded Warrior. He earned a medical
retirement in 2010 — from the Army.
“We tease him about that,” she said.
But she and her teammates appreciate the ex-
perience he brings to practice.

He also talked about the Navy’s work to
fight piracy off the coast of Somalia and
surrounding seas.
Sailors, he said, are all over the world,
serving as the Global Force For Good.
“They are committed to protecting
friends and family, to providing our chil-
dren a better future,” he said. “Every day,
every one of them makes a difference.”
Also speaking at the event was Ventura
County Sheriff Geoff Dean, who choked
up as he talked about today’s military
families and the sacrifices they endure.
Pointing to Loeschke, he said, “It makes
me proud to know what he does and what
he does for his family.”
Cypress Place is home to 164 seniors.
“It’s an honor and a privilege to recog-
nize those folks whohave servedtheir coun-
try so valiantly,” said Mike Macke, com-
munity marketing director for the facility.

Loeschke attends tribute to veterans
The Underway Replenishment (UN-
REP) teamat Naval Surface Warfare Cen-
ter Port Hueneme Division (NSWCPHD)
has received the fiscal 2013 Department
of Defense (DoD) Value Engineering
Achievement Award for designing, devel-
oping, testing, installing and introducing
the Heavy Electric Standard Tensioned
Replenishment Alongside Method (E-
STREAM) system to the fleet.
“We are very happy to be recognized for
the tremendous effort and skill that went
into developing this project,” said Capt.
Burt Espe, NSWCPHDcommander. “The
UNREP team did a phenomenal job in
developing a unique, cost-effective system
that will be of huge benefit to our Sailors
for years to come.”
Value engineering is the DoD’s effort to
continually analyze defense organizations,
facilities and processes to achieve essential
functions and products at the lowest cost
consistent with required performance,
reliability, quality and safety. It also con-
tributes to the department’s overall “Bet-
ter Buying Power” initiative, which seeks
to streamline operations, improve quality
and reduce or avoid costs.
The new UNREP system is exactly
that: cost-effective engineering for the
warfighter. E-STREAM is a giant step
forward from the Navy’s current Legacy
design, integrating modern control tech-
nology with stable operational proce-
dures, enabling the fleet to transfer heavi-
er loads at a faster rate.
In quantitative terms, the E-STREAM
system is capable of transferring 50 loads
per hour, up to a total of 6,000 lbs. The
system can also transfer loads up to
12,000 lbs. at 25 loads per hour, and au-
tomatically land the load at the receiving
ship without operator intervention, if
desired.
The Value Engineering Achievement
Awards Program provides an incentive
for government and defense industry
partners to improve the value of weapon
systems and programs by promoting in-
novation and creativity.
NSWC PHD, located at Naval Base
Ventura County, is the Navy’s premier
in-service engineering and logistics cen-
ter.

cific questions could well be available at the
outreach.
“I understandtheplight of our servicemen
andwomen,”saidGracielaArreola-Munoz,
the community relations officer for District
23, which covers seven Southern California
counties: Ventura, Los Angeles, San Ber-
nardino, Riverside, SanLuis Obispo, Orange
and Santa Barbara. “It’s a big benefit for
themtoknowtheir issue is being workedon
or has been resolved. That’s the essence of
this program—they’ll get an answer.”
This is especiallycritical if theservicemem-
ber is deploying.
“They can go overseas with a peace of
mind, knowing the immigration paperwork
is beingprocessedandthat it’s movingalong,”
she said. “They knowthere will be anendto
it.”
About 25to35peoplestopinat eachquar-
terly outreach. Arreola-Munoz saidthe ma-
jorityof issues involve the status of petitions
for family members to become permanent
residents of the UnitedStates. About 30per-
cent, she said, involve U.S. citizenship for
spouses.
Most of the issues involve people from
Latin American countries and the Philip-
pines, she said.
Without the outreach program, the point
of contact at NBVCwouldbythe Judge Ad-
vocate General’s office. The nearest Citizen-
ship and Immigration Services office is in
Chatsworth.
“This type of service is so needed,” Arre-
ola-Munoz said. “We’ve tried to clone this
program at other bases in the Western Re-
gion, but we’ve never gotten the same re-
sponse. Los Alamitos, Twenty-Nine Palms,
Fort Irwin—it just hasn’t workedlike it does
here.”
She credits Salvador Gonzales, a legal as-
sistant clerk in the RLSO, with making sure
the program is scheduled and staffed each
quarter.
“He goes the extra mile,”she said.
But she is concerned about the future of
the program.
“Unfortunately, withbudget cuts andman-

Commissary officials are urging
shoppers to check their freezers for
Foster Farms chicken that was pro-
duced in March and sold at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC) Port Huen-
eme and dozens of other commissaries
on the West Coast, in Hawaii and in
the Far East.
Foster Farms is recalling the chicken
because it may be contaminated with
a strain of salmonella Heidelberg, ac-
cording to a Department of Defense
All Food and Drug Activity message
sent July 9.
“These products were produced in
March,” said Richard Stith, lead con-
sumer safety officer for Defense Com-
missary Agency (DeCA) headquarters
at Fort Lee, Virginia. “Our patrons
could have this product frozen in their
homes. This product should not be
consumed.”
The products that are subject to re-
call have the establishment numbers
P6137, P6137A or P7632 inside the
USDA mark of inspections. The
products were produced on March
8, 10 and 11, 2014. A list of spe-
cific products being recalled can be
found at https://www.troopsupport.
dla.mil/subs/fso/alfood/2014/
alf03114.pdf.
Customers who purchased any of
these products should bring them
back for a refund.
As of July 2, there had been 621
cases of salmonella Heidelberg in-
fection reported.
Salmonella can be potentially life-
threatening, especially to infants,
older people, pregnant women and
people with weakened immune sys-
tems. It can cause salmonellosis, one
of the most common bacterial food-
borne illnesses. Salmonella’s most
common symptoms are diarrhea,
abdominal cramps and fever that
usually develop between eight to 72
hours after consumption and last
about four to seven days.
Check freezer for bad chicken
