A COURSE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR
By Kimberly Gearhart
NBVC Public Affairs
Navy Exchange (NEX) patrons looking to fill up their
fuel tanks Oct. 27-30 will need to visit Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu; the station at Port
Hueneme will be offline.
The NEX gas station at Port Hueneme will be closed
for renovation Oct. 25 through Nov. 23. During the first
week of work — beginning between 3 and 6 p.m. Sunday,
Oct. 26 — the gas pumps will be out of service while
asbestos remediation is completed on the store’s interi-
or.
The automatic pumps must be reset daily to ensure
continued operation, and the mechanism to do so is lo-
cated inside the building. During the asbestos remediation
project, it would be unsafe for NEX personnel to enter
the building; hence the closure, NEX Manager Anna Es-
guerra explained.
“We are working to determine if the contractor can

Question: Why is it always so hot at the Needham
Theater at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme? I know they went through a renovation
recently. Why didn’t they fix the air conditioning?
Answer: Needham Theater’s recent renovation did
include an air conditioning refurbishment, and the
system is operational. However, energy conservation
standards set by Naval Facilities Command require
that air conditioning be set no lower than 78 degrees
in the summer. This may seem warm, but it is in line
with recommended conservation guidelines set forth
by other power providers, such as Southern Califor-
nia Edison.
The heat of summer brings huge strains on the
power grid; we do our part by keeping the thermostat
set, turning off lights when we leave the room — or
installing automatic lights that turn themselves off
— and shutting down our workstations at the end of
the day.
Being good stewards of our nation’s resources
requires diligence and constant re-evaluation. At
Naval Base Ventura County, we have reduced our
energy consumption by over 36 percent since 2003;
our water consumption has been reduced by over 35
percent. Every little bit helps us do our part, and your
understanding is appreciated.
Do you have questions, comments, or sugges-
tions? I want to hear them! Reach me here by email-
ing [email protected], on Facebook at www.
facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty or on Twitter
at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia. You can also go
online to our homepage at http://cnic.navy.mil/ven-
tura/index.htm and use the Commanding Officer’s
Suggestion Box. I look forward to hearing from you.

Multicultural Day event Thursday, Oct. 16.

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
held its 21st annual Multicultural Day in
front of the Seabee Chapel at NBVC Port
Hueneme Thursday, Oct. 16.
The event, which features a variety of
foods representing cultures from around
the world, is a unique way to represent
some of the many diverse groups that
comprise the U.S. Navy. It’s also a friend-
ly competition, with different groups com-
peting to offer the best food, best deco-
rated booth and best information offerings
of the day.
Traditionally, several Navy chiefs go
from booth to booth, judging food offer-
ings, asking questions about the repre-
sented cultures and choosing the top three
groups for the day.
This year, Command Master Chief
Percy Trent asked me to join the chiefs,
adding a Department of Defense civilian’s
opinion to the mix. Last year, Deborah
Williams, community support program
site manager, did the honors.
I declined at first; I needed to cover
Multicultural Day for The Lighthouse,
after all. But then again, who better to tell
you about the event than someone fork-
deep in the competition?
The event kicked off with the national
anthem, performed by California State
University Channel Islands student Sneha
Venkatraman, a native of India. Her song
was followed by a prayer by Lt. Cmdr.
Jeffery Han, command chaplain, then
brief opening remarks from Capt. Larry
Vasquez, NBVC’s commanding officer.
As I stood, staring through the lens of
my camera at the three on stage, a large
banner behind them reading “Diversity:
Embrace It,” I thought to myself, “How
perfect.”
You could think it was contrived:
Vasquez, Venkatraman, Han. Those

“He got her to run!”
The teenage girls in the Ventura Coun-
ty Juvenile Detention facility in El Rio
were astonished. This particular girl had
taken her time on the previous lap. Clear-
ly, she was more interested in tying up
her hair than in breaking into a sweat.
That didn’t deter Master-at-Arms 1st
Class Scott Chilko. As the other girls
finished up the run, he bolted to the far
end of the field.
“Come on, come on, come on,” he
shouted, jogging slightly ahead of her.
With all eyes on her, she went from an
insouciant stroll to a jog.
Chilko speeded up — and so did she.
“He got her to run!”
It was one of several small victories for
Chilko that day as he spent 45 minutes
with the nine girls detained at the facil-
ity. Starting at 10:30 Sunday, Oct. 12, he
led them through a two-lap run, jumping
jacks, push-ups, squats and other exer-
cises. Then he split them into two groups
and assigned a certain number of exer-
cises to each girl — planks, pushups, sit-
ups and running. No one on a team could
stop until all the teammates were fin-
ished.
“If you’re sandbagging, the people
you’ll be hurting are your own team-
mates,” he pointed out.
The Oct. 12 visit was an offshoot of a
partnership the chaplain’s office at Naval
Base Ventura County has had for a few
years with Providence School, located
inside the juvenile detention facility.
The chaplain’s office arranges for visits,
guest speakers and tours of the base.
When the idea of a PT session at the
facility came up, Chilko volunteered.
Now the kennel master on base, Chilko
served as a guard at the Guantanamo
Bay detention facility in 2005 and
2006.
But he was drawn to this project be-
cause he has three girls — ages 17, 4 and
2. He puts them through the paces,
proudly showing off a photo on his cell-
phone of his girls lined up doing push-
ups.
The Sunday morning in El Rio sur-
prised him.
“I was expecting there to be a lot more
‘This sucks!’” he said. “It was refreshing
to see some motivation and some inter-
est.”
Robert Pacheco, the senior deputy pro-
bation officer who oversaw the visit, said
he appreciated the girls being exposed to
not only a structured session of PT, but
also the positive role model of a Navy
master-at-arms.
“A lot of today’s youth aren’t sure what
they want to do in the future,” he said.
“This shows them some positive choic-
es.”
Chilko said he wants to come back.
“Next time,” he said, “it’ll be the
dudes.”

Don’t schools get extra money for each
military student? I cannot count the number
of times I’ve been asked this question.
A simple answer is no. Schools don’t re-
ceive extra money for military students.
Every year, some school districts will send
out a federal survey form asking parents to
complete it if they live or work on federal
property. The reason they ask parents to do
this is that the completed forms do result in
Impact Aid Funds. However, it’s important
for families to realize that Impact Aid is not
extra money. It is more of a reimburse-
ment.
Here is a simple explanation of Impact
Aid: A primary source of revenue for schools
comes from local property taxes. However,
property taxes are not paid on federal prop-
erty. When a parent lives and/or works on
federal property, no property tax revenue is
contributed to the local schools. Therefore,
Impact Aid funds, in a sense, reimburse lo-
cal schools for revenue that is being lost
when they are serving families living and
working on federal property. This isn’t extra
money. It just helps to recover some of the
funds that the schools would be receiving if
they didn’t serve families living and working
on federal property.
A parent then might wonder how schools
ARE funded and how they can ensure their
schools are getting the most that they can.
The formula for school funding has re-
cently changed. Cooperation from families
is required to ensure that schools are getting
every dollar possible.
Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF)
is the new way the state of California is fund-
ing public schools. Each school district
receives a base funding amount for each
student based on average daily attendance.
In addition to the base funding amount,
districts receive supplemental funding for
each student who is an English Learner and
for students designated as low income, fos-
ter youth and migrant students. If the per-
centage of these special populations is above
50 percent, the district receives an addition-
al amount of funding called a concentration
grant for each student above the 50 percent
line.
The identification of “low income” is
based on the guidelines of the federal Free
and Reduced Meal program. Some of our
local school districts are a Provision 2 dis-
trict, meaning that because there is such a
high percentage of low income students, all
students in the district receive meals at no
cost to the family. For this reason, they do
not require families to complete the Free
and Reduced Meal program eligibility form
yearly.
California has created the Alternate In-
come Form for verification of eligibility of
low income for LCFF purposes for Provi-
sion 2 districts. If districts send home the
Alternative Income Form or the Free and
Reduced Meal program eligibility form,
please be sure to complete it. These forms
need to be filled out to receive the maximum
amount of state funding. The funding the
districts receive must be used to directly im-
pact the educational program of these stu-
dents.
An important note for military families
to know is that BAH does not need to be
included in the family income if the family
is living in PPV housing (Lincoln Military
Housing). BAH only needs to be included
if the family is living outside of military
housing. Any type of hardship pay also does
not need to be included. Excluding these
allowances means that many military fami-
lies could qualify, and your child’s school
could be receiving much more funding.
It’s also important to know that these
forms are kept confidential and the informa-
tion will only be used for the purposes it is
intended for.
If you have any questions while complet-
ing these forms, please contact the NBVC
school liaison officer.
— The NBVC school liaison officer can be
contacted at 805-989-5211 or via email at
[email protected] for any K-12 education-
related questions.

Adelle Davis, an American author and
nutritionist, said, “Eat breakfast like a
king, lunch like a prince and dinner like
a pauper.” That’s great advice, especially
as the Physical Fitness Assessment is right
around the corner.
That statement also pairs up with some
of the conversations I have had recently
with my shipmates and family members
who have decided to slim down.
During the Renaissance, being over-
weight was a sign of great wealth and
abundance. The wealthy had substance
and therefore access to rich foods and va-
riety, while the poor rummaged for food
and lived off of what they could manage
to scavenge.
Hence when you look at the paintings
of early period art, what has always stood
out to me is that the wealthy aristocrats
dressed in kingly garb are often portly and
plump, while the poor look bone-thin and
exhausted.
Here’s a Proverb written as a prayer,
with a bit of a different take on things,
“Give me neither poverty nor riches —
Feed me with the food allotted to me.”
Proverbs 30:8b.
I think that verse has really good im-
plications for how to live a balanced,
healthy and happy life. The goal is to
neither deprive one’s self to where there’s
only misery, nor to overindulge to where
there is only gluttony, but to apply sen-
sible portion control as to live contented
in good health and great joy.
I remember years ago my microeco-
nomics professor taught me about the
Law of Diminishing Returns. My text-
book gave an example of eating an ice
cream cone and then a second and then
a third and then a fourth and so on to
demonstrate this principle. The first ice
cream cone always tastes better and is
more satisfying than the ones that fol-
low.
In other words, eating more ice cream
cones with all other factors remaining
constant will at some point yield lower
returns, less satisfaction and less happi-
ness over the course of time.
So the goal here is not to live extreme
in either sense but to appreciate modest
living in all things and to find a balance
that can be sustained over a long period
of time so as to maximize the pleasure
we get out of life.
Enjoy your ice cream cone today and
remember: just one!
May God’s presence be the strength
and sure foundation of your life.
Sensible portions make a good, healthy life

Many cities in California have imple-
mented emergency water conservation
measures. Before taking any of these
steps to save water with your landscap-
ing, make sure they comply with any
emergency regulations your city may
have in place.
• Plant slopes with plants that will
retain water and help reduce runoff.
• Group plants according to their wa-
tering needs.
• Put a layer of mulch around trees
and plants. Mulch will slow evaporation
of moisture while discouraging weed
growth. Adding 2 to 4 inches of or-
ganic material such as compost or bark
mulch will increase the ability of the
soil to retain moisture. Press the mulch
down around the drip line of each plant
to form a slight depression, which will
prevent or minimize water runoff.
• Don’t water the gutter. Position your
sprinklers so water lands on the lawn
or garden, not on paved areas.
• A good way to see if your lawn needs
watering is to step on the grass. If it
springs back up when you move, it
doesn’t need water. If it stays flat, the
lawn is ready for watering. Letting the
grass grow taller — to 3 inches — will
also promote water retention in the
soil.
• During dry spells, you can stop wa-
tering altogether and the lawn will go
brown and dormant. Once cooler
weather arrives, the morning dew and
rainfall will bring the lawn back to its
usual vigor.
• When you do water the lawn, do it
long enough for the moisture to soak
down to the roots where it will do the
most good. A light sprinkling can evap-
orate quickly and tends to encourage
shallow root systems. Put an empty tuna
can on your lawn — when it’s full,
you’ve watered about the right
amount.
• When hand watering, use a variable
spray nozzle for targeted watering.

water- and energy-saving ideas, contact A.

“What Was I Scared Of ?” the beloved
Dr. Seuss tale of an empty pair of pants
that comes alive, was one of three Hal-
loween-themed stories several dozen pre-
schoolers enjoyed Thursday, Oct. 16, as
FOCUS held storytime outside its offices
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme.
“We’re trying to do this monthly,” said
Ben Wilson, site director of the group that
helps families cope with transitions in
military life, including deployments, trans-
fers and retirements. “It’s an opportunity
for us to get some face-time with parents
and kids, and it gives them an opportu-
nity to learn about our programs.”
For Julie Mulhern, it fit the bill of get-
ting her kids out and about and finding a
venue for meeting new people. The moth-
er of 2-year-old Bailey and 3-year-old
Peyton moved here just over a month ago
with her husband, Engineering Aid 1st
Class Mark Mulhern of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3.
“I’m trying to find ways to make new
friends,” she explained. “This was
great.”
Amanda Land, who brought Harper,
nearly 2, and 6-month-old McKinley, also
enjoyed the event.
“It was a lot of fun,” said the spouse of
Steelworker 3rd Class Nicholas Land of
NMCB 3. “This is a very neat resource to
have.”
They and other families were joined by
preschoolers from the Child Development
Center at NBVC Port Hueneme.
FOCUS holds individual and group
workshops on communication, problem-
solving, goal-setting and emotional regu-
lation. Its services are open to families of
active-duty military personnel and Reserv-
ists.

About two dozen people attended a
Navy Exchange Breast Cancer Awareness
Tea Saturday, Oct. 11, at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme,
celebrating the lives of breast cancer sur-
vivors and their caregivers — and remem-
bering those who lost the battle.
More than anything, they vowed to
keep getting the word out about preven-
tion.
“You never know what words will help
people get the help they need, whether
it’s getting a mammogram or getting sup-
port,” said the guest speaker, Tracy Sisson
Phillips of the American Cancer Soci-
ety.
Wearing a T-shirt that emphasized the
importance of mammograms — “Squeeze
a boob, save a life,” it read — Sisson Phil-
lips shared the statistics about breast
cancer in America, among them: 12 per-
cent of women will develop breast cancer
during their lifetime.
She shared the story of her friend’s
fight with breast cancer, then opened it
up to others.
Norma Creech, operations manager at
the NEX, told how her mother lost her
battle with cancer because she was afraid
of doctors. Watching her succumb —
“Cancer is not pretty,” she said — con-
vinced her to get checked, and early de-
tection saved her life.
“Early detection,” she said, “that’s
what’s going to save you.”
The NEX event was organized by Ser-
vice Manager Gloria Cruz.
“I have a friend who passed away …”
Cruz said, beginning to explain why the
event meant so much to her — but she
couldn’t finish. “It’s a little touchy,” she
apologized.
NEX Soft Lines Divisional Manager
Alex Nungaray, who lost his grandmoth-
er to breast cancer, read two poems,
“Mother’s Smile” and “I Am Not a Vic-
tim of Breast Cancer.”
“I will not burn out,” the second one
ended. “I will sparkle forever.”
Among the survivors attending the tea
was Jean Neal, a Port Hueneme resident
who’s married to a retired Seabee. She
came with her daughter, Caroline Ken-
worthy of Ventura.
“I think this brought awareness as to
what we can do to fight the disease,” Neal
said. “I was glad to hear people share
their stories, and I enjoyed the tea.”
NEX tea honors breast cancer survivors, caregivers
Tracy Sisson Phillips of the American Cancer
Society urged those in attendance to put
the society’s toll-free number, 1-800-237-
2345, into their cell phones in case they
ever need information for themselves or
someone else. Doing so is Elizabeth Kuntz,
the spouse of UT1 Paul Joseph Kuntz of
Naval Construction Group 1.
NEX Operations Manager Norma Creech
tells the audience how her mother’s death of
cancer prompted her to get herself checked.
“Early detection,” she said, “that’s what’s
going to save you.”

NMCRS
Lorraine Shallenberger, a volunteer for
the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society
(NMCRS), was recently diagnosed with
breast cancer for a second time in three
years.
“Being healthy as a horse — living a
healthy lifestyle with no family history of
any cancer — did not exempt me and others
from this sneaky disease,” she said.
Shallenberger was first diagnosed with
breast cancer three years ago and had a
lumpectomy and radiation therapy.
“Recently, a routine mammogram did not
show any signs of cancer, but the addition-
al ultrasound did,” she said. “From my ex-
perience, a mammogram is not enough; it
catches a lot and can miss a lot.”
A biopsy confirmed a different type of
cancer. She recently underwent surgery, and
today, she is recuperating and doing well.
When asked what keeps her going, Shal-
lenberger said it is her positive attitude. She
explained that she knows the breast cancer
treatment is something that she has to do,
so she might as well do it with a positive
outlook.
“What good would it do to sit around and
feel sorry for myself?” she said. “Worrying
doesn’t change anything and adds to the
stress level, which makes everything
worse.”
She also credits her support system of
family and friends.
Another important tool is knowing the
community resources that are available.
“These make a world of difference,” she
said. “Know what’s out there for yourself;
know for your friends and family.”
She has special thanks for a support group
called Ribbons of Life, which was formed
several years ago by a civilian who works
on base.
“A support group is very important, and
I believe Ribbons of Life is one of the best,”
she said.
Ribbons of Life, a group of Ventura
County cancer survivors and thrivers, is a
grass-roots organization not affiliated with
any other society or group. Their mission
statement says it all: “Ribbons of Life Breast
Cancer Foundation (RoL) is an organization
committed to providing breast cancer edu-
cation, advocacy, and emotional and social
support within Ventura County.”
“I am a new member and have learned an
enormous amount of helpful and down-to-
earth tips about taking care of myself, com-
fort and how to be more of an advocate for
my medical care,” Shallenberger said.
Ribbons of Life has a monthly “breast-
fest” that includes breakfast at Mimi’s, a
guest speaker, stories of members’ experi-
ences, and help from others in navigating
this tough journey.
“The members are kind, outgoing, help-
ful and just delightful,” Shallenberger
said.
For more information, contact founder
Lisa Barreto at 805-308-3456 or call up
www.RibbonsVentura.org on the web.
Shallenberger has been volunteering for
NMCRS for the past four years. She cro-
chets baby blankets for the “Junior Seabags”
that are given to Budget for Baby attendees.
She also volunteers at the Port Hueneme
Thrift Shop for its once-a-month Saturdays,
plus she helps with assorted opportunities
that come along.
NMCRS volunteer finds support in her battle with cancer
At this time, mammography is the
single most important tool for detecting
breast cancer. Are you due for your
screening mammogram?
For your convenience, Naval Branch
Health Clinic Port Hueneme can assist
in facilitating your mammogram with
a local TRICARE network facility.
Please call your Medical Home Port
Team for assistance.
The American Cancer Society recom-
mends that women in their 20s and 30s
have a clinical breast exam (CBE) ad-
ministered by their medical provider
approximately every three years, and
women in their 40s should have CBE
every year. Women of all ages should
promptly report any breast changes
— lumps, pain, nipple discharge, etc.
— to their medical provider. Breast self
exam (BSE) is an option for any wom-
an.

SIHANOUKVILLE, Cambodia —
Seabees from Naval Mobile Construc-
tion Battalion (NMCB) 4 Detail Cam-
bodia conducted a ribbon-cutting
ceremony at the Samdech Chea Sim Pri-
mary School Oct. 2.
The ceremony marked the official turn-
over of a newly constructed, five-stall
head facility from the detail, officially
named Civic Construction Action Detail
(CCAD) Cambodia, to the local school
that serves grades one through six.
A crowd of more than 100 people was
on hand to celebrate, and several VIP
guests participated in the ceremony, in-
cluding Ing Brunner, the chief of the
Ministry of Education, Sihanoukville
Province; Chheng Phat, school director
of Samdech Chea Sim Primary School;
and Ensign Mike Guaigua, NMCB 4
liaison officer at the U.S. Embassy in
Cambodia.
The ceremony included a performance
by the school’s band, remarks by VIPs
and a traditional ribbon-cutting by the
school director. Students, teachers and
members of the larger community at-
tended the event, which garnered sig-
nificant local interest, given the newspa-
per and news channel coverage it
received.
At the end of the ceremony, the Sea-
bees distributed toys, backpacks and
school supplies to the students. The sup-
plies were donated by the U.S. Embassy
Office of Defense Cooperation.
Most students chose to receive school
supplies over a box of toys, a gesture
that demonstrated each student’s com-
mitment to education.
That left a lasting impression on the
Seabees.
“I can appreciate the fact that these
kids prefer school supplies over the toys,”
said Construction Mechanic 2nd Class
Jason Lowe.
Seabees said they will remember the
relationships built during their work at
the school.
“We’re going to miss the kids here,”
said Engineering Aide Constructionman
Thomas Latimer. “After spending time
with these kids it really makes our mis-
sion more satisfying,”
The $20,000 project was completed
Sept. 24. It took the 23-person detail
only a month and a half to finish.
“I’m incredibly proud of the efforts of
the detail during the past month and a
half,” said Lt. j.g. Joseph DeMarzo, of-
ficer-in-charge of the detail. “They have
completed a facility that they should be
proud of and will admirably serve the
school and its student body. Their re-
solve and dedication to the mission has
been nothing short of incredible, and I
look forward to continuing on to our
next projects with that level of motiva-
tion.”
The detail will move to a new province
to continue their construction efforts in
support of the 30th Naval Construction
Regiment and the U.S. Embassy during
their deployment.

Representatives from more than a dozen
charities attended the Combined Federal
Campaign kickoff at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Wednesday, Oct. 8.
“This is for area charities to show off
what they do, what services they perform
in our communities,” said Capt. Scott Loe-
schke, chief staff officer of NBVC, who
attended the event in the Seabee Museum
with Command Master Chief Percy
Trent.
Loeschke is the lead coordinator for the
campaign this year. It’s the first year the
campaign is under the umbrella of the
seven-county Greater Southern California;
in the past, it was overseen by the three-
county Gold Coast.
“This provides us with a lot more re-
sources and cost savings through economies
of scale,” Loeschke explained. “This is a
more efficient way to do business.”
The Combined Federal Campaign gives
federal workers the opportunity to donate
to one or more eligible charities of choice
through payroll deductions. Nationwide,
more than $209 million was collected last
year.
According to the campaign’s website, the
CFC of Greater SoCal includes Los An-
geles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino,
San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Ventura
and parts of Kern counties. It covers near-
ly 99,000 federal employees in more than
570 separate locations.
For information on donating, see the
website www.cfcofgreatersocal.org or check
out Facebook at https://www.facebook.
com/cfcofgreatersocal.

coordinator for this year’s Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) on base, chats with Alice
Tse, campaign associate with CFC Greater Southern California, during the CFC kickoff
Wednesday, Oct. 8, at the Seabee Museum.
Through Monday, Nov. 10, the drinking
water supply entering Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme is
being temporarily disinfected with chlo-
rine instead of the normal chloramines
disinfectant.
A similar operation is already taking
place at NBVC Point Mugu.
The NBVC Public Works Department
(PWD) performs this operation annually
or as often as needed to maintain a safe
level of nitrites in the water system. PWD
water systems operators flush the distribu-
tion system to promote the changeover to
chlorine. The flushing is done via the base
fire hydrants. The water systems operators
make every effort to minimize the impact
of flushing to all of the tenants and resi-
dents at NBVC.
It is unlikely that water users will notice
any change in the appearance or smell of
their tap water; however, if any changes
are noticed base personnel should do the
following:
• If a stronger than normal chlorine
odor exists after an extended absence, al-
low the water to run for a few minutes to
reduce the odor.
• Should you notice a discoloration at
a sink or water fountain, merely allow the
water to flow for a few minutes to flush
the line until clear water appears.
Base residents should also check the
water in their washing machine before put-
ting clothes in for washing. If the water
is discolored, set the machine to the spin
cycle to drain the water. A second filling
should result in clear water. If not, repeat
the draining and filling steps as neces-
sary.

Fire prevention officers set up tables at
the Navy Exchanges at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) earlier this month
to remind families about the importance
of having working smoke detectors in their
homes.
They also had goodie bags for the kids,
something that pleased 3-year-old Brody
Hudson. The son of Cassandra and Con-
struction Mechanic 2nd Class Zachary
Hudson of Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion 3 dug into his bag and pulled
out a ruler and keychain, which he quick-
ly turned into toys.
Brody and his mom had stopped by the
Navy Exchange at NBVC Point Mugu at
lunchtime Tuesday, Oct. 7. Two days later,
the fire prevention officers were at NBVC
Port Hueneme, again from noon to 1
p.m.
Fire inspectors Mike Zack and Antho-
ny Avila greeted everyone who stopped by
the Point Mugu display, reminding them
to change the batteries in their smoke de-
tectors at the same time they change their
clocks Saturday, Nov. 1.
They also reminded everyone to install
carbon monoxide detectors, but noted
they need to be in a different place than
the smoke detectors.
Carbon monoxide tends to float in the
air; it doesn’t rise like smoke does. So car-
bon monoxide detectors need to be in-
stalled chest-high on walls, preferably in
hallways leading to bedrooms.
National Fire Prevention Week was Oct.
5-11, and this year’s theme was “Working
Smoke Alarms Save Lives; Test Yours Ev-
ery Month.”

The Naval Construction Training Cen-
ter (NCTC) hosted a wet and muddy
Heritage Run Friday, Oct. 10, in celebra-
tion of the Navy’s 239th birthday.
More than 350 students and staff at
the NCTC and at the Air Force 344th
Training Squadron, Detachment 1, Ve-
hicle Maintenance School — both lo-
cated at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) Port Hueneme — waded through
water-filled trenches, crawled under log
bridges and slogged through mud to
reach the finish line.
“This was an awesome opportunity for
the whole command,” said Cmdr. Dan
Cook, commanding officer of the NCTC.
“Combining historical and physical train-
ing into one event that highlighted our
warrior ethos was a great celebration of
our Navy’s birthday. Plenty of fun and
motivation for all of us!”
The Heritage Run consisted of a 1.5-
mile run along the base perimeter, plus
the half-mile slog through the mud course.
Some runners chose to do the perimeter
run twice instead of diving into the
mud.
Chief Utilitiesman Miguel Fernandez,
who helped plan the event, said students
spent about a month designing and con-
structing the course — giving them train-
ing at the same time: They used graders,
bulldozers and other construction equip-
ment to build the mud run obstacles.
“The Heritage Run was a chance for
all of us to reflect and pay tribute to the
brave men and women who went before
us,” said Lt. Thomas Stock, Charlie Com-
pany commander for the NCTC. “The
event was a tremendous success. The staff
really came together to make the event
possible.”

NBVC Public Affairs
This month, the United States
Navy celebrated its 239th birth-
day, and Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) marked the oc-
casion with an array of events
ranging from a traditional bell
ringing at headquarters to a for-
mal ball at a local resort hotel
with guest speaker Fleet Master
Chief April Beldo.
Official events kicked off Fri-
day, Oct. 10, with more than 100
Sailors and civilians from NBVC
gathered in front of the head-
quarters at Bldg. 1 to observe
morning colors and participate
in a bell-ringing ceremony. The
crowd listened to official birthday
messages from Navy leadership
and listened as Culinary Special-
ist Seaman Michael Robertson
rang out the Navy’s 239th year
by ringing a bell eight times, sig-
naling the end of the watch. A
ninth bell ushered in the new year
of service.
A traditional cake-cutting cer-
emony followed, with NBVC’s
leadership and the youngest Sail-
or present cutting a birthday cake
decorated with Navy and NBVC
logos.
That night, nearly 300 Sailors
celebrated at the Navy Ball, held
at the Embassy Suites Mandalay
Beach Hotel.
But it might have been a speak-
ing engagement the day before at
the Channel Islands Navy
League’s monthly luncheon that
was the best reminder not only
of the importance of the Navy’s
long heritage, but of the “why”
behind the service rendered by
thousands of men and women
around the globe.
Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVC’s
commanding officer, was asked
to speak regarding the Navy’s
birthday and the future of Navy
operations in Ventura County.
The Navy, Vasquez said, has
operated throughout history and
into the present as a global force
for good, being where it matters,
when it matters and defending the
nation’s interest without fail.
But answering the call isn’t al-
ways easy, particularly when de-
ployments get longer — and more
frequent — every year.
“Our Sailors are resilient. They
are tough, but long deployments
and little home time is difficult
on them and the families they
leave behind,” Vasquez said. “As
we celebrate the Navy’s birthday,
let us not forget those everyday
sacrifices: birthdays missed, an-
niversaries spent apart.”
Several Sailors from around the
installation attended the luncheon
with Vasquez, and he turned over
the microphone so some could
share their unique reasons for
serving in the Navy.
Aviation Structural Mechanic
1st Class Luis Guardado, of Car-
rier Airborne Command and
Control Squadron (VAW) 117,
was working a sales job when he
decided he wanted to do some-
thing more. He wanted to work
on aircraft, so he went to see an
Air Force recruiter.
“But they were never in their
office,” Guardado quipped, not-
ing that he made a few visits with-
out success. Then, the Navy re-
cruiter spotted him.
“He said, ‘You know the Navy
has planes, right?’ And I didn’t
know that,” Guardado said,
drawing laughter from the crowd.
He joined, and continues to serve,
he said, for love of the job and
of the service.
Construction Mechanic 2nd
Class David Patrick, of Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion
(NMCB) 3, joined to finish what
his father started as an Army in-
fantryman in the 1980s.
“I didn’t really know my fa-
ther,” Patrick said. “He died in a
motorcycle accident when I was
2.”
After earning scholarships and
attending college, Patrick found
he was still questing for a pur-
pose.
“I decided to join the military
and finish what my father started
— finish what he couldn’t.”
Patrick joined to become a
SEAL, but found out he was col-
orblind and not eligible. Rather
than being discouraged, he
pushed forward and became a
Seabee.
“Six years later, I’m still proud-
ly serving the years my father
didn’t get to,” he said.
Yeoman 3rd Class Tayisiya
Kugle, of Fleet Logistics Support
Squadron (VR) 55, fought back
tears telling her story.
A native of Ukraine, Kugle’s
family struggled, due to their op-
position to communism.
“My parents wanted to leave
the country and come to the
United States,” Kugle said. “My
father called it the land of op-
portunity. But it seemed like a
dream — not real.”
When Kugle was 19, her fam-
ily finally made it to the United
States; 10 years later, Kugle
joined the Navy.
“When I was a little girl, I
wanted to be in the U.S. military.
I wanted to be in the Navy,” she
said.
Describing her service as a
dream come true, Kugle lost her
struggle with her tears exactly as
she began to smile, prompting a
room full of veterans from every
conflict since World War II to
smile back and wipe damp
eyes.
“I smile every day when I put
on my uniform,” she said. “It’s
like a fairy tale to me. I am so
proud to be here, to be in the
United States military.”

NOSC Ventura County
Twenty-five chief petty officers and
board-eligible first class petty officers from
Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC)
Ventura County and Construction Bat-
talion Maintenance Unit (CBMU) 303
volunteered at a community relations
cleanup project at Channel Islands High
School Sept. 13 as part of the Chief Petty
Officer 365 (CPO 365) program.
CPO 365 is a three-phase training pro-
cess created by Master Chief Petty Officer
of the Navy Rick West. The goal of this
initiative is to engage prospective chiefs
beyond just CPO Induction, while giving
them a better insight into the responsi-
bilities and expectations of the Navy
CPO.
Mirroring the adopt-a-school program,
NOSC Ventura County initiated a part-
nership program with Channel Islands
High School and carried out the volunteer
project there.
“I’m excited about the partnership be-
tween NOSC Ventura County and Chan-
nel Islands High School,” said James Ed-
wards, the school’s vice principal. “Some
of our students have parents who are ei-
ther active duty Navy or Reservists. This
partnership is one that is cherished and
prized by our faculty, students, parents,
community — and we are very excited.”
The Navy volunteers cleaned up and
beautified the grounds, school garden and
baseball fields, built some office desks and
power washed the quad areas.
“It is important for us to remember that
we are not just here for personal growth
and development,” said Chief Information
Systems Technician Rodrigo A. Torres.
“With the active involvement in CPO 365
here at NOSC Ventura County, we con-
tribute not only to the command but also
to the Oxnard community.”
Master-at-Arms 1st Class Gina Gilbert
organized the team effort.
“Projects like this are not only impor-
tant, but they are valuable in developing
us as naval and civic leaders,” Gilbert said.
“This is a great way to really get involved
with the CPO 365 program, develop bet-
ter relationships with fellow service mem-
bers and show that we are all here to sup-
port one another and the community. I
am proud of our team effort, and I am
honored to have been a part of this special
opportunity to serve.”
Chief Engineering Aide Robert M.
Braden said projects like this instill pro-
spective chiefs with the importance of
being a chief petty officer.
“Working side-by-side with genuine
chiefs and communicating through a mu-
tual level of respect benefits our board-
eligible first class petty officers,” he said.
“It gives our CPOs opportunity to de-
velop quality senior-enlisted leadership.
These first class petty officers will one day
steer the Navy’s future.”
Following a day of labor-intensive
cleanup, both CPOs and prospective chiefs
felt good about the work they accom-
plished together.
“It is really good being out here working
alongside our chiefs,” said Logistics Spe-
cialist 1st Class Anthony Zapf. “Through
their leadership example, we are learning
more about what it takes to wear those
anchors.”
Their efforts earned praise from Ed-
wards.
“Thank you for the great hospitality,”
he told the Sailors. “You and all of your
team are focused and doing the right
stuff!”

NOSC Ventura County
Members of the Navy Opera-
tional Support Center (NOSC)
Ventura County conducted an
extensive daylong Deployment
Readiness Training (DRT) Sept.
27 for deploying Navy Reservists
and their families from NOSC
San Diego, Alameda, San Jose,
Pearl Harbor and Ventura. A
DRT is designed to provide in-
formation about the unique chal-
lenges deploying service members
and their loved ones will face
prior to, during and returning
home from their mobilization.
“I could not be more proud of
you all,” Capt. Thomas Long,
commanding officer of NOSC
Ventura County, told the group
that gathered at Naval Base Ven-
tura County (NBVC) Port Hue-
neme. “You have answered the
nation’s call to go forward and
serve our country. This DRT af-
fords us here at the NOSC the
opportunity to help better pre-
pare you with a variety of re-
sources to assist you and your
family while you are deployed.”
The Department of Veterans
Affairs, Staff Judge Advocates
Office, Psychological Health Out-
reach Program (PHOP), TRI-
CARE, Employer Support of the
Guard and Reserve (ESGR) and
Military One Source were among
the support organizations that
provided large group briefings
and individual counseling ses-
sions.
Susan Hare of Warrior and
Family Support, Navy Region
Southwest, Reserve Component
Command, coordinated the event
and spoke about the many re-
sources available to the mobiliz-
ing Reservists and their fami-
lies.
“This is the third time I have
attended a Deployment Readi-
ness Training,” said Yeoman 2nd
Class Michael Moser. “All of the
deploying Sailors’ needs are met
through the DRT. Whether it was
the legal services for wills and
powers of attorney down to
health care, to financial manage-
ment, it was very beneficial. All
in all, the DRT was informative
and useful and will help me
through this deployment as
well.”
Spouses and other family mem-
bers said they appreciated getting
the information first-hand; mili-
tary members don’t always share
information until they are ready
to deploy.
“Finding out my daughter will
be deployed to a place far away
from here was a challenge at
first,” said Isabel Otero, the moth-
er of Information Systems Tech-
nician 3rd Class Vanessa Otero.
“After spending the day at the
DRT, and seeing how close ev-
erybody is and hearing all of the
resources at my disposal when she
is deployed, I have a clearer un-
derstanding of how the system
works — and for me that is price-
less.”

Help when you need it.
The Fleet & Family
Support Center
Social media enables us to monitor a
person’s comings and goings. With little
effort we can determine with whom a per-
son has spoken and where they may be at
any given moment — and texting or voice-
mail can give us instant access. We can go
to an event where thousands of people are
in attendance and still be able to locate
“our” person and meet up very easily.
It’s very convenient.
There is a darker side to this conve-
nience, however. There are times when our
need to locate, connect with, or get ahold
of the person we seek may move from
“communicating” to “stalking.”
What is stalking, anyway? Most of us
view stalking as something a stranger does
prior to attacking the hero or heroine in
a movie. In fact, stalking is a significant
public health issue. One in six women and
one in 19 men have experienced being the
victim of stalking during their lifetime.
Stalking is “a pattern of behavior direct-
ed at a specific person that would cause a
reasonable person to feel fear.”
The fear that the person may feel runs
the gamut from being uneasy about the
amount and type of attention being
shown, to feeling watched and monitored
to the point that a person feels they have
no privacy. Stalking victims often feel
powerless and frightened that the stalker
may harm or even kill them in severe cir-
cumstances.
Stalking is not usually perpetrated by a
stranger, but by someone the victim knows.
It could be someone the victim had a re-
lationship with in the past or it could be
a spouse. Yes, stalking can be a part of a
marriage, and it falls into the category of
domestic abuse.
Stalking, as with all categories of abuse,
is about power and control.
Common stalking behaviors can include
making unwanted phone calls (ever heard
of “blowing up” someone’s phone?); post-
ing information or spreading rumors on
the Internet or by word of mouth; sending
unsolicited or unwanted letters, emails or
texts; following or spying on the victim;
using GPS to track a person’s movements;
showing up at places without a legitimate
reason; leaving unwanted items, presents
or flowers or waiting in person for the
victim.
As the situation becomes more intense,
stalkers will sneak into the victim’s home
or car and do things to scare the victim
or leave signs of their presence. This can
lead to face-to-face confrontations and
physical or sexual violence.
How does this affect the victim? Forty-
six percent are afraid of not knowing what
will happen next; 29 percent are fearful
that the behavior will never stop; and 9
percent are fearful that they will die.
One in 8 of employed victims lost time
from work — and more than half lost five
days or more. They can feel on guard most
of the time, depressed and anxious, have
trouble sleeping and have difficulties con-
centrating and trying to perform at work
or school.
But the most pervasive impact is feeling
frightened, powerless and having a sense
that their life is not under their control
but under the control of the stalker.
Victims are often reluctant to report be-
ing stalked. They often feel that the police
won’t think it’s important. They may feel
that it is a private or personal matter, or
they minimize the seriousness of the situ-
ation. They may feel unsure that a crime
has occurred. They may fear the perpetra-
tor — and reprisal.
The truth of the matter is that stalk-
ing is a crime, and there are steps vic-
tims can take to get their life back.
Through the Family Advocacy Pro-
gram, a victim can decide whether to
make a Restricted or Unrestricted Re-
port. A domestic abuse victim advocate
will discuss the reporting options with
a victim and the services available with
each option. A victim advocate can also
assist with safety planning, safe-house
options, civilian restraining orders and
other community resources and refer-
rals.
With a Restricted Report, victims
may have counseling and victim advo-
cate services without initiating the in-
vestigative process; law enforcement,
command and the stalker will not be
notified. If a victim elects to make an
Unrestricted Report, then a report will
be made to law enforcement, the com-
mand and the alleged stalker, who will
be interviewed and held accountable.
We all need to know that we hold the
power over our lives and how we choose
to live them. No one has the right
through threat or action to try to take
that away.

Program supervisor at the Naval Base Ventura
County Fleet & Family Support Center.

NOSC Ventura County
As part of Domestic Violence Aware-
ness Month in October, Navy Operation-
al Support Center (NOSC) Ventura
County and members of the Domestic
Abuse Victim Advocate’s Office at the
Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC)
placed purple handprints and signatures
on banners supporting the cause “One
Voice Against Domestic Violence.”
Capt. Thomas Long, commanding of-
ficer of NOSC Ventura County, said one
of the goals of “One Voice Against Do-
mestic Violence” is to educate every Sail-
or and family member about how to pre-
vent domestic violence and how to report
it.
“I am extremely proud of NOSC Ven-
tura County Sailors for their courage in
speaking out and selfless commitment to
preventing any type of domestic violence
— physical, emotional, sexual, economic
or verbal,” Long said. “Our Purple Hands
Canvas symbolizes our commitment to
help raise awareness and to reinforce our
resolve for the fair treatment and uncom-
promising respect of every single Sailor
and family member.”
Rosie Flores, domestic abuse victim
advocate at the Naval Base Ventura Coun-
ty (NBVC) FFSC, said the initiative “is
to educate and raise awareness to all the
active-duty Marines, Sailors, family mem-
bers and civilians on healthy relationships
and what a safe relationship looks like.”
She said the FFSC also works to edu-
cate Sailors on how to reduce the stressors
that can lead to violence.
“It’s important that we educate every-
one on the signs,” Flores said. “We give
them resources and tools. The Fleet and
Family Support Center offers classes on
ways to reduce your stress, increase
healthy communication and support in
parenting.”
Long said awareness is critical.
“We want to bring awareness to domes-
tic violence and sexual assaults and re-
mind everyone that domestic violence
goes against our Navy core values of
honor, courage and commitment,” he
said.

The Region Legal Service Office at Na-
val Base Ventura County reminds every-
one that the best way to avoid auto repair
scams is to be prepared. Knowing how
your vehicle works and how to identify
common car problems is a good begin-
ning.
It is also important to know how to se-
lect a good technician, the kinds of ques-
tions to ask and your rights as a consum-
er.
How to choose a repair shop
Ask for recommendations from friends,
family and other people you trust. Contact
the local Better Business Bureau for help;
also check the Internet to see if complaints
have been reported. Shop around by tele-
phone and Internet for the best deal and
compare warranty policies on repairs.
Also, ask to see current licenses if state or
local law requires repair shops to be li-
censed or registered. Make sure the shop
will honor your vehicle’s warranty. If your
car is under its original warranty, verify
that the shop’s work will not void that
warranty.
How to find the right technician
Look for shops that display various cer-
tifications, such as an Automotive Service
Excellence (ASE) seal. A list of ASE-cer-
tified technicians can be found at http://
locator.ase.com/blue/. Certification indi-
cates that some or all of the technicians
meet basic standards of knowledge and
competence in specific technical areas. Ask
if the technician or shop has experience
working on the same make or model ve-
hicle as yours.
Repair charges
Before you arrange to have any work
performed, ask how the shop prices its
work. Some shops charge a flat rate for
labor. Others charge on the basis of the
actual time the technician worked on the
repair. If you need expensive or compli-
cated repairs, consider getting a second
opinion.
If you decide to get the work done, ask
for a written estimate. This estimate should
identify the condition to be repaired, the
parts needed and the anticipated labor
charge. Make sure you get a signed copy
that also states the shop will contact you
for approval for any work exceeding a
specified amount of time or money.
Once the work is performed, get a com-
pleted repair order that lists each repair,
parts supplied, cost of each part, labor
charges and the vehicle’s odometer reading
when you brought the vehicle in and after
the repairs were completed. Ask for all of
the bad parts to be returned to you.
Warranties and service contracts
There is no “standard” warranty on re-
pairs. Make sure you understand what is
covered under your warranty and get it in
writing. Be aware that warranties may be
subject to limitations, including time, mile-
age, deductibles and businesses authorized
to perform the warranty work.
Many vehicle dealers sell optional ser-
vice contracts issued by vehicle manufac-
turers or independent companies. Not all
service contracts are the same; prices vary
and usually are negotiable. To help decide
whether to purchase a service contract,
consider:
• Its cost.
• The repairs to be covered.
• Whether coverage is overlapped by
another warranty.
• The deductible.
• Where the repairs are to be per-
formed.
• Whether repair costs are paid directly
by the company to the repair shop or
whether you will have to pay first and get
reimbursed.
• The reputation of the service contract
company.

The air turned purple, yellow and blue
as Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
hosted its first Color Run Thursday, Oct.
16.
The regularly scheduled lunchtime 5K
sponsored by Morale, Welfare and Rec-
reation (MWR) took a decidedly more
colorful turn when the Fleet & Family
Support Center (FFSC) joined in to make
it a commemoration of Domestic Violence
Awareness Month.
FFSC and MWR staffers threw dyed
cornstarch on more than 100 runners as
they took off from the Bee-Hive Gym at
NBVC Port Hueneme. They hit the run-
ners again at two other points on the
course.
Purple is the nationally recognized sym-
bol for domestic abuse. Blue and gold are
the Navy’s colors.
By the time the runners crossed the fin-
ish line, they were various shades of those
three hues.

Shimmel of FFSC’s clinical staff said as runners
began crossing the finish line.
Runners said they appreciated the new twist on
the monthly 5K — and the opportunity to make
a statement against domestic violence.
Rosie Flores, a domestic abuse victim advocate
and one of the organizers of the Color Run, was
pleased with the end result.
“Oh my gosh, it’s amazing,” she said. “I love the
vibe! Everybody is so happy, and we’re getting the
word out there.”
A few participants came prepared for the colored
cornstarch, which, they were told, would come
out after a few washings.
Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Jaci Baldridge
with the Naval Branch Health Clinic put plastic
gloves onto her running shoes so they’d be pro-
tected.
And Gerry Legaspi, the aquatics director for
MWR, put plastic gloves on his hands before he
started throwing purple cornstarch.
“I’m planning on swimming afterwards,” he
explained. “And I knew the Public Works Depart-
ment would just LOVE purple water in the
pool.”
Color Run a hit

right now, we plan to reopen the pumps
and service bays the morning of Oct.
31.”
For the rest of the construction period,
the pumps will be open for the pay-at-the-
pump service. The main store will open
early at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday
for the duration of the construction.
The NEX station at Point Mugu is un-
affected by the construction, which will
remodel and update the interior of the
Port Hueneme station.

Operation Homefront, the national non-
profit dedicated to providing emergency
financial and other assistance to military
families, has announced that nominations
for the 2015 Military Child of the Year
Awards are being accepted online at Mili-
taryChildOfTheYear.org through Dec.
12.
Operation Homefront is the organization
that gives out free backpacks and school
supplies to Naval Base Ventura County
children every summer at the Fleet & Fam-
ily Support Center.
Operation Homefront’s award is pre-
sented to an outstanding child from each
branch of service — Army, Navy, Air Force,
Marine Corps and Coast Guard. This year,
the organization also has a category for
children of National Guardsmen.
The recipients each receive a $10,000
award and a laptop, and they are flown
with a parent or guardian to Washington,
D.C., for a special awards gala April 16.
The Military Child of the Year Award
recognizes children who stand out among
their peers. Ideal candidates demonstrate
resilience and strength of character, and
they thrive in the face of the challenges of
military life.
Anyone can nominate a child. For more
information, log on to MilitaryChildofThe-
Year.org.

names represent such a diverse set of back-
grounds. Truth is, though, that’s just what
being in the Navy in Ventura County is like.
We are a diverse bunch of people. DoD civil-
ians, active duty, Reservists and retirees rep-
resent people from all walks of life, multiple
cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Multicul-
tural Day showcases a small slice of that
diversity.
Eleven groups set up booths for the day,
representing Seabees, clinics, the Navy Lodge,
the galleys — of course — and several orga-
nizations like the Chiefs Mess, the First Class
Petty Officers Association and the Federally
Employed Women’s program. Food and
drinks from the Philippines, Spain, Italy,
Central America and Hawaii joined Cajun,
Creole and Native American fare; all you
needed was an $8 “passport” to travel the
culinary world.
Each group decorated their booth and
provided information about their represent-
ed culture. Those offering Hawaiian food
wore leis as they served; Spanish food servers
looked a little like flamenco dancers in their
broad-brimmed hats.
Sailors from Fleet Readiness Center South-
west, Detachment Point Mugu, performed
Latin dances as entertainment. Master Chief
Logistics Specialist Joselito Tolentino of Na-
val Construction Group 1 played both guitar
and ukulele. Native American representatives
formed a drum circle and gathered volunteers
from the audience to perform a “Friendship
Dance.”
For an event centered on cuisine, the day
proved to be full of plenty of cultural explo-
ration, which kept me running back and forth
between sampling tamales and chicken dish-
es and trying to capture the moment on
film.
As I sat down to taste some of the many
offerings — I was an official judge, after all
— I was joined by Bill Stewart, an 88-year-old
retiree who served 36 years in the U.S. Navy.
He and his wife of 63 years, Rosalie, were just
beginning to sample the offerings as well.
I asked them what they thought of the
event and whether they’d tried anything they
liked.
“I’m Navy-trained,” Bill said. “I’ll eat any-
thing.” Then he bit into a particularly melty
chocolate cookie.
Once I got my laughter under control, I
turned to Rosalie.
“We try to come every year,” she said, look-
ing askance at her husband. “It’s great to try
different things.” Bill, for his part, smiled and
tucked into a chicken dish from Peru.
Once I’d managed to sample something
from every booth — no mean task when nine
of the 11 booths are offering unique, some-
times complex meals — I joined the four
chiefs who made up the bulk of the judging
panel. Although I’d operated separately from
them throughout the event, when we com-
pared notes, we had no trouble coming to a
decision. Third place was a tough one — two
groups were running neck-and-neck — but
we hashed it out and rendered a decision.
Third place went to the Navy Lodge, whose
Spanish offering was tasty and topped with
a little Spanish flag.
Second place went to the Dental Clinic,
which went all-out in serving up food and
fun facts about multiple Central American
nations.
The Mugu Galley brought home the win
for the second year in a row, offering six Pe-
ruvian-inspired dishes, each artfully displayed
at the front of their booth so tasters could
see how it should be plated. Their attention
to detail and generous portions caught many
eyes.
“I wasn’t sure I was going to get enough
to eat,” said Construction Mechanic 2nd
Class Andres Henriquez of Naval Mobile
Construction Battalion 3. “Then I hit these
guys. It looks good!”
Diversity celebrated at 21st annual Multicultural Day
