Navy performers being consid-ered for the award.“The competition was tough,”

he said. “They were all great can-didates. This selection could haveeasily gone to any one of them.“The board was rigorous and

full of tough questions designedto stimulate the brain,”he added.“I really had to keep up with cur-rent events in and around theNavy.”Salazar’s road to success start-

Question: What happened to the paintball and archeryfields on Point Mugu? Are there plans to reopen them orsomething similar like an offroad vehicle course?

Answer: As the weather has warmed up, we’ve gotten alot of questions about the old paintball course and the pos-sibility of reopening it or expanding its use to other sports.Let me start with the idea of establishing an offroad

course. Given the environmentally sensitive nature of ourPoint Mugu facility, building and running an offroad courseis just not feasible. We’ve always gone out of our way to pro-tect the natural resources with which we’ve been entrusted,including the largest unencroached wetlands area in thestate, and offroading runs counter to that goal.The paintball course is another matter. It first opened

in 2005 but never really took off; the business volume wasalways quite low. We explored several options to increasetraffic at the site, including the possibility of contracting outsite management and opening the site to the public, but thesecurity concern of allowing public access was just too great.Ultimately, the course was not used enough to justify theexpense of keeping it open, and the site fell into disarray aspatrons began bringing their own “obstacles” and “cover,”which created significant safety concerns.

Over time, the site became a safety hazard and was es-sentially being used as a disposal site. The archery coursesuffered the same fate.Morale, Welfare & Recreation staff completed a clean-

up of the site earlier this year, clearing safety hazards andenvironmental concerns. We are not opposed to the idea ofhaving paintball and archery facilities, but we aren’t fundedto support a facility that is underused.Given the apparent renewed interest in these activi-

ties, MWR is re-examining the right way to move forward,but they’re going to need your help. We’ll be holding focusgroups, and we need you to step up, volunteer your time andhelp us determine what the community wants. We need yourcommitment to use and help keep up any facility we open.This is our community. Let’s work together to make it the

best it can be. Let us know if you’re interested in participat-ing by going to my online Commanding Officer’s SuggestionBox at http://cnic.navy.mil/Ventura/ or search Facebook forthe NBVC MWR page and let us know there.Please continue to submit your questions and suggestions

through one of our many feedback options. Follow us onFacebook at www.facebook.com/NavalBaseVenturaCounty,submit your suggestions to the CO’s Suggestion Box or sendan email to lighthouse@navy.mil.

How does a person overcome six yearsof torture and violence without beingconsumed by hatred?Holocaust survivor Charles Pierce—or

prisoner B1719, as he was tattooed duringhis imprisonment by the Nazis duringWorld War II — did it by surroundinghimself with love.ForHolocaustRemembranceDay,April

19, Pierce visited Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC) to share his story— andhis message — with members of the mil-itary and the civilians and families whosupport them.

‘This was murder and terror’

In 1939, Pierce was teenager looking tostart his life as an adult. His father, a suc-cessful businessman, wasn’t overly con-cerned when the Nazis first invaded Po-land.“My father was comfortable. No one

expected things to change so quickly orso horribly,” Pierce said.It took Germany eight days to occupy

Poland. It wasn’t long before Pierce’shometown of Kielce fell under Nazi influ-ence. Soldiersmarched prisoners down thetown’s main street, right past his father’sshop.Soon, the Nazis came for Pierce’s fam-

ily. Armed teenagers, members of theHitler Youth, ordered them out onto thestreets, stripping them of their materialpossessions and handing the family busi-ness over to a Polish Nazi. The familymoved into a newly established ghettowhere 20,000 people lived in a few squareblocks.“They saw us as sub-human. Soldiers

used us for target practice,” Pierce ex-plained.Pierce would be transferred through

multiple ghettos, forced-labor camps anddeath camps throughout Poland andGer-many.In 1942, the ghetto Pierce occupied was

liquidated. The Nazis came in with ma-chine guns, executing the sick and in-firm.“They ordered babies abandoned.

Mothers were shot if they refused,”Piercesaid.Survivors of the evacuation were or-

dered onto tightly packed railcars fortransfer to Treblinka, in Poland, where

Pierce spent 14 months, surviving largelyon potato peels and bread, refusing to eatthe horsemeat soup prisoners were giv-en.“This was not just a war. This was mur-

der and terror,” Pierce said.Years later, the world knows Treblinka

as an extermination camp. Pierce survivedits liquidation andwas transferred to Aus-chwitz-Birkenau.“At Auschwitz I smelled the burning

bodies,” Pierce recalled. “They killed20,000 gypsies the day before we arrived.Everyone went to the crematory.”International Red Cross members vis-

ited the camp during Pierce’s stay to checkon the welfare and treatment of the pris-oners. The Nazis put on a show, cleaningup prisoners, serving dinner and playingmusic.“They played music while the bodies

burned. How could they not smell it?”Pierce said. “To this day I cannot listen tothose songs.”Pierce survived Auschwitz and was

transferred to Kaufering, a subcamp ofDachau, where he worked in lumber yardsand paper mills. His fellow prisonerswould scrounge for food in a nearby dumpto supplement their diet.Pierce couldn’t bring himself to do it.He was eventually transferred to the

main Dachau camp.“We didn’t know it, but the war was be-

ing lost,” Pierce said.The Nazis began slaughtering the re-

maining prisoners at Dachau as theyplanned to abandon the camp. Pierce wasselected to help an officer haul his posses-sions out of the camp. The three-daymarch would nearly kill him, but in theend it saved his life.Members of the U.S. Army’s 20th Ar-

mored Division crossed Pierce’s path.“I half crawled, half walked to the

tanks,” he said.Pierce, by then in his 20s, weighed just

60 pounds.

Surrounded with love

Pierce spent months recovering, thenyears searching for his family across Eu-rope. His parents and two of his fourbrothers died during the Holocaust.Pierce came to the United States in

1949.“I got down onmy knees and kissed the

ground, I was so thankful,” he said.Staying with family inNewYork, Pierce

worked during the day and went to schoolat night, where he learned, among other

things, to speak English.In December of 1953, he would learn

to love again.“We met on a blind date,” explained

Libby Pierce, Charles’ wife of more than57 years. “I thought he couldn’t be myblind date, he was too good-looking.”Less than three weeks later, on New

Year’s Eve, Charles proposed; they wedthe following June.Charles and Libby would go on to lead

a relatively normal, happy life, raising afamily and just not talking about Charles’experiences during the Holocaust.“We saw the tattoo, and as we got older,

we knew what it meant,” said one of theirsons,Mark Pierce. “But there was no hatein our house, not a word spoken againstanyone.”Even when Pierce returned to Germany

in 1969 to testify in war crimes trials, hedidn’t speak of it at home.Instead, Charles raised his children to

be accepting of others and tolerant of dif-ferent cultures, races and traditions.“I think my mom had a lot to do with

that,” Mark said. “The woman has noenemies.”Libby, who frequently refers to herself

and Charles as “the lovebirds,” tells asimilar tale.“We raised our children to be good

people, that’s all,” she said.

Telling his story

Charles Pierce kept his thoughts abouttheHolocaust to himself for decades. Evenafter his brother, Abe, began talking pub-licly about his experiences, Charles kepthis peace.That is, until his granddaughter asked

him to come speak at her class.“Wemust teach our children what hap-

pened. We must teach them kindness,”Charles said.By telling his story and detailing both

the horrors he endured and the way heonce again found love, Charles believes hecan profoundly affect the children’s lives.His son Mark, who travels with Charlesand helps him by reading excerpts fromCharles’ memoirs aloud, has seen thepositive effects first-hand.“Students have come up to us and

thanked my dad for telling his story, forputting their problems into perspective,

Summertime may mean vacation timefor some families, but for many militaryfamilies, it also means moving time.Many families with school-age children

do their best to plan their move duringthe summer to alleviate the stress of tran-sitioning during the school year. How-ever, a summer relocation does not nec-essarily equate to a stress-free move.For children and teens, moves are dif-

ficult no matter what time of year they’remade. Before the school year ends, thereare a few things to consider to make themove a bit easier.Most important is honest and open

communication. No one, including achild, wants to be surprised with a move.Understandably, exact dates may not beavailable. However, most children willappreciate knowing that a move is in thenear future and that they may not bereturning to their current school in thefall.It always helps children to know they

aren’t alone and that others have beenin a similar situation and have done well.Books and websites allow children toconnect with others and feel a little more

comfortable with an upcoming move.Here are some great book ideas that

can be found at a local library:• “We’reMoving!” by HeatherMaisner

and Kristina Stephenson. When Amyand her family move into a new house,it takes some effort to make it feel likehome. Great book for infants and tod-dlers.• “The Berenstain Bears’Moving Day,”

by Stan Berenstain and Jan Berenstain.The Bear family tells the story of whenthey moved to their tree house in BearCounty.

• “I’m Not Moving, Mama,” by Nan-cy White Carlstrom and Thor Wick-strom. When moving day comes, LittleMouse refuses to leave his room.• “Who Will Be My Friends?” by Syd

Hoff. Freddy moves to a new neighbor-hood and spends the entire book lookingfor new friends.• “Alexander,Who’s Not (DoYouHear

Me? I Mean It!) Going to Move,” by Ju-dith Viorst, Ray Cruz, and Robin PreissGlasser. Angry Alexander refuses tomove away if it means having to leavehis favorite friends and special places.• “Let’s Move Together,” by Carol M.

Schubeck. This book was written to helpchildren and parents communicate abouttheir feelings surrounding moving andways to adjust to the big transition.• “A New House: Activity Book for 4

- 10 Year Olds,” by Jill Wenzel. Thegames and activities in this book are de-signed to help children adjust to livingin a new house.• “The Moving Book: A Kids’ Sur-

vival Guide,” by Gabriel Davis. Thispractical handbook is divided into threesections: before the move, during the

move and after the relocation. It containsuseful tools for children to stay in touchwith their friends, such as an addressbook and change-of-address postcards.• “Footsteps Around the World: Relo-

cation Tips for Teens, 2nd Edition,” byBeverly D. Roman, Dalene R Bickel(Editor). This workbook-style text iswritten for teenagers facing a relocation.It offers organizational checklists, recom-mends journaling and gives communica-tion advice. Some of the information,specifically websites, is dated, as it waspublished in 2001.If getting online is easier, here are some

website ideas to help as well:• www.defenselink.mil/mtom/ MTOM

(for Kids & Teens) was developed bymilitary kids, for military kids, with realstories and good advice on how to makea move a good thing.• www.militarychild.org An excellent

resource for military children resourc-es.

Right now I am waiting for orders, mywife is healing from surgery, my daugh-ter and son-in-law are expecting a babyand my son is finishing his first year oflaw school.We are all dealing with change! You

are too, aren’t you?Dealing well with change — especial-

ly those changes that are out of ourhands — is important. Sometimes welong for and welcome the change, and atother times we resist it.Did you hear about the old man from

the back mountains who was used to lifebeing a certain way, but one day he foundhimself in a large city standing for thefirst time outside an elevator? He watchedas an old woman hobbled on, and thedoors closed. A few minutes later thedoors opened and a young womanmarched out. The father hollered to hisson, “Billy, go get your mother!”From birth to death, changes keep

coming. We know a lot about this in themilitary, don’t we? A few years of thislifestyle can bring more changes thansome people experience in a lifetime, butthe pace of the change we encounter var-ies a lot. So how do we deal well withchange if it seems to us to be slow, orsteady or fast?• Slow change: Perhaps the change you

long for seems to be coming so sloww-wwwwly. Perhaps you are waiting for neworders, or for a spouse’s deployment to

end, or to be reunited with someone youlove, and it seems to be taking so long.I recently heard about the Arctic woolybear caterpillar, which can live up to 14years as a caterpillar before becoming amoth.Talk about slow change! That cat-erpillar might wonder if the change isever going to happen. But eventually itdoes. Experiencing slow change requiresendurance, remembering always thatwe’re in this for the long haul.• Steady change: Perhaps change is

coming for you now at a steady rate. De-pending on what the change is, you mightwish it was coming slower or faster, butstill it comes. Are you on a learning curvenow? Are you developing new skills? Areyou recuperating from illness or injury?Are you adapting to a new environment?Steady change requires patience to adapt.We all adjust though, because we must.

• Fast change: Perhaps change is com-ing now at a frenetic pace and it’s hardto keep up with it all. So many seasonsof life are like this: leaving home, gettingmarried, welcoming children, launchingchildren, new orders, new responsibili-ties, new surroundings, new circumstanc-es, broken relationships, losing lovedones, a new diagnosis. Changes some-times come fast and furious. Dealingwith quick change requires much resil-ience. Like surfers, we ride the waves asthey come.Endurance, patience, resilience— these

are qualities we need to deal well withlife’s changes. Whether the changes youare encountering now seem slow, steadyor fast, it helps so much to hold on infaith to the One who has an abundantsupply of what you need today and willneed tomorrow, and who has promisedto be constant through every changingcircumstance. (Psalm 100:5) “His unfail-ing love continues forever, and his faith-fulness continues to each generation.”(Malachi 3:6) “I am the Lord, and I donot change.” Amen!May God bless you in all your seasons

of change!

received a $2,500 grant from “WannaPlay?” in February to support activitiesand equipment to keep kids active.Go Tag was also part of National

Boys & Girls Club Week, April 15-21.Lane is eagerly awaiting word on

whether the record was set. So is AdamGuy, director of Sports, Entertainmentand Alumni Development for the Boys& Girls Clubs of America in Atlanta.Guy said that as of April 24, con-

firmed participants numbered 30,825at 574 clubs. He said it would take sixto eight weeks to send the final infor-mation to the Guinness team, whichwould then need to certify the re-cords.Mario Colletto, who helps lead ac-

tivities for the school-age children atPort Hueneme, said that while he hopesthe record was broken, he was just gladto see the younger kids enjoy an exer-cise with the teenagers.“They’re all very respectful to one

another,” he observed. “It’s great whenwe have an event where they all get toplay the same game. It makes for a spe-cial day.”

The Navy-Marine Corps Relief So-ciety (NMCRS) at Naval Base VenturaCounty held its 2012 Volunteer Recog-nition ceremony April 17 in the ball-room of the Bard Mansion as part ofNational Volunteer Week.Twenty-eight volunteers and their

guests attended the luncheon, whichopened with this message from retiredAdm. Charles S. Abbot, president ofNMCRS:“I thank each of you exceptional

people whose extraordinary hearts beatpatriotically in the service of others. Iam grateful for your commitment, andI am proud to serve at your side as amember of Team NMCRS!”Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding

officer of Naval Base Ventura County,his wife Nancy and Command MasterChief Thomas Cyr came as guests ofhonor and presenters.NMCRS acknowledged the thou-

sands of hours worked in service to theRelief Society and the military com-munity — hours spent crocheting baby

blankets, teaching Budget for Babyworkshops, keeping the thrift shop or-ganized and doing individual case man-agement.Volunteers with 100 hours or more

of service were recognized for theircontributions. One volunteer clockedmore than 10,000 lifetime hours.Four volunteers were recognized for

meritorious or superior perfrmance, asdetermined by the president of NMCRS.Frances Schneider and Mary Wilsonwere awarded meritorious service hon-ors, and Rachel Baker and TinaEgelston received superior performancehonors. All were presented a framedcertificate with a personal message fromthe NMCRS president, an NMCRS pinand a personalized nametag.Receiving 100-hour awards were: Bill

Changus, Erica Gonzales, Penny Green,Elizabeth Hoffman DeNeui, CoreyKendrick, Cristina Lopez, Mae Ober-miller, Lorraine Shallenberger, CassieSmith and Carole Zemlyn.Receiving 300-hour awards were: Ly-

nette Davidson, Renato Ferrera, AnnOwens, Veronica Patriz, Felisa Riotoc

and Bill Shallenberger.Honored with 1,000-hour awards

were: Rachel Baker, Leo Olson and Es-ther Olson.Receiving 2,000-hour awards were:

Tina Egelston and Tom Melugin.A 4,000-hour award went to Bea

Young; 6,000-hour, Fran Schneider;8,000-hour, Mary Wilson; and 10,000-hour, Pat Robinson.With more than 37,800 hours con-

tributed by volunteers, it’s not hard tounderstand that not only is NMCRSgrateful for all the volunteers, butNMCRS also serves as a place that iswelcoming to those who want to giveback to the military community.Recent volunteer Kerri Flynn credits

NMCRS for giving her an “instantcommunity” in what could have been alonely four months.“It was great to have additional pur-

pose here and to learn more about theNavy life,” she said.If you are interested in joining this

dynamic team of volunteers, call 982-4409 to sign up for the next volunteerorientation.

There’s a dash on every tombstone —that line between the date of birth and thedate of death, that everything-in-be-tween.What will your dash say about you?“Will people look at that dash and think

about your integrity?What do you dowiththat dash?”Cmdr. Allen Blaxton, officer-in-charge,

Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) SouthwestDetachment Point Mugu at Naval BaseVentura County, left about 15 teenagerswith that thought Wednesday, April 18,as he and five other Sailors visited withstudents at Gateway School. Located atthe Camarillo Airport, Gateway has 175students who have been expelled fromother schools or released from juveniledetention.For the second year in a row, FRC Sail-

ors are meeting every other week withsome of the Gateway students, sharingstories about overcoming life’s obstacles,setting andmeeting goals, finding success— in other words, making that dash on atombstone mean something.“It’s been a great program,” said Ralph

Velarde, Gateway’s assistant principal.“The students want to be in it. And theSailors who come are young. They’remak-ing a connection.”Aviation StructuralMechanic 1st Class

Carlos Lopez has been with the programsince day one last year, along with Avia-tion Machinist’s Mate 1st Class JorgeChavez.Each to a different degree, the Sailors

who join them every otherWednesday talkabout their challenges growing up and

what led them to the Navy. They stressthat they’re not there to recruit; they’rejust there to listen, to offer some advice,to answer questions.Some of it isn’t pretty. One of the speak-

ers April 18 was Chief Aviation Electron-ics Technician Wayne Hirschmann, whotalked about raising difficult sons. One boyturned his life around; the other is dead.“I’ve seen good decisions, and I’ve seen

bad decisions,”he told the students. “Makethe right decisions. And know that my earis your ear if you ever want to talk.”

Also visiting the school April 18 wereChief AviationMachinist’sMate Joe Tay-lor, Chief Aviation Electronics TechnicianPatrick Robinson, and Aviation Struc-turalMechanic 1st Class FranciscoDiego-lopez.Taylor said the Navy gave him oppor-

tunities he never dreamed of growing upin St. Louis.“In Japan, I climbed Mount Fuji,” he

said.“You climbed Mount Fuji?” one boy

interrupted.

“Yes, I did,” Taylor said. “It was a six-hour climb. We went up as a group, andwe came back as a group. It took deter-mination and motivation to get us to thetop.”Diegolopez opened up the day’s topic:

Getting and keeping a summer job. Hewent around the room, asking the boysand two girls what their dream job wouldbe. Painting, construction, playing musicwere some of the answers.“I just want a job that I enjoy,” said

one.The Sailors talked about making real-

istic goals, staying focused on those goals,overcoming rejection and persistence.“You gotta start slow,” one Sailor

said.“Yeah, baby steps,” one student an-

swered.They talked about job interviews, about

appearance and presentation.“First impression is everything,” one

boy said to himself.They talked about what it takes to keep

a job in this economy, when there are 10,20, 100 other people who can do the samejob and might be willing to work harder.Showing up on time is a good start, theyagreed, but it’s the person who shows upfirst, leaves last and keeps a positive atti-tude who’s going to be safe.After an hour, Blaxton wrapped up the

discussion.“You’ve had obstacles,” he told the stu-

dents. “I’ve had obstacles myself. How doyou overcome them? That’s what’s impor-tant.”“This is your dash,” he said. “Make it

a good one.”

Work on the Point Mugu Gas Station,which is temporarily closed for state-re-quired environmental upgrades, was ex-pected to begin in early April and be com-pleted in early May.However, a delay in obtaining permits

from the County of Ventura delayed thebeginning of the upgrades, and now thegas station’s reopening will be delayed aswell.

“Barring any additional requirements,the gas station may reopen near the endof May,” said Anna Esguerra, managerof the Navy Exchanges at Point Muguand Port Hueneme. “The community’spatience is appreciated, and the NEXapologizes for the inconvenience.”Propane fuel is still available. Customers

need to visit the main store to arrange thepurchase.

Cruz Ceja understood per-fectly why the Blue Lake GreenBean was looking so healthythere in its plastic bag in the win-dow.“First we took a paper towel

and stapled it and then we putthe bean in there,” the 5-year-oldexplained. “Then we wrote ourname on it and we put it in thewindow and then it growed.”The instructor corrected him.“Didn’t you do something

else?” she asked.Cruz hesitated briefly before

his eyes lit up.“We added water!” he said.“That’s right,” the instructor

said. “And what’s going to hap-pen next?”“Transplanting!” shouted out

the other youngsters.Cruz, the son of Sgt. Nazareth

Ceja of the Air National Guard,and dozens of other childrenwho take part in the Child andYouth Program (CYP) at NavalBase Ventura County (NBVC)are learning about “Farm toFork,” and they’re growing theirown food in large gardening binsbehind the youth centers at bothHueneme and Point Mugu.

At Point Mugu, the Blue LakeGreen Bean transplants will soonjoin the potatoes, onions, garlic,cabbage, kale, collard greens and

broccoli that are just starting tosprout in the bins.At Port Hueneme, seedlings

include yellow squash, zucchini,

yellow cucumbers, corn, cilantro,tomatoes, bell peppers and jala-peño peppers.When harvest time comes, the

youngsters and teenagers willcook up the veggies and have afeast.“They’ll eat kale?”asks a skep-

tical visitor.“You bet!” said Stacey Tamai,

who is in her sixth year of teach-ing basic agriculture to the kids.“If they’ve had a hand in grow-ing it and in harvesting it, they’remuch more likely to eat it.”Tamai’s husband, Roland, is a

third-generation Ventura Coun-ty farmer.“Right now, sustainable farm-

ing is so huge, and yet there are

so many kids who don’t knowwhere their food comes from,”Stacey Tamai explained. “Whena child tries something new —smells it, touches it, eats it —they’ll share it with their familiesand then everyone will bene-fit.”Agromin of Oxnard recently

gave the youth centers seven tonsof planting mix made from or-ganic material collected fromVentura County communities.“We got the gardening bins

three years ago but some havebeen sitting empty because wedidn’t have the soil,”Tamai said.“Now we’re already looking toexpand to fruit trees.”This year, there was even

enough soil to create a small herbgarden, where mint, thyme, rose-mary and basil will soon bemak-ing an appearance.Through a 4-H curriculum, the

children are learning that someplants grow from seeds and some,like potatoes and garlic, can takeroot. Others, like the green beans,can be transplanted.They water the gardens regu-

larly and have learned about theimportance of sunshine and nu-trients.“The kids really enjoy this,”

said Chris Batelaan, the youthprogram director for NBVCPoint Mugu.Yes, but kale?“Stir fry it up with a little bit

of soy sauce and they’re going tolove it,” Tamai said. “It’s amaz-ing what happens when they’vehad a hand in growing it.”

Seeds of knowledge— and kale — thrive at CYP gardens

Naval Air Warfare CenterWeapons Division (NAWCWD)at Naval Base Ventura County,Point Mugu, recently took partin the Exploration of Science,Technology, Engineering andMath (STEM) Careers Expo inVentura.Held March 21 at the Ventura

County Fairgrounds, the STEMExpo showed 800 middle schooland high school students who

were attending the VenturaCounty Science Fair how theirinterest in science, technology,engineering ormathematics couldlead to career opportunities.NAWCWD employees Todd

Sohn, John Ma and Bruce Mill-er volunteered to help with theSTEM Expo, while MatthewSouth, William Stepler, DennisDuquette andLindaBuile judgedthe science fair.

Navy takes part in Careers Expo

By Alyce MoncourtoisNSWC PHD Command Communications Office

Lillian Rodriguez and Regina Powell, engineersat theNaval SurfaceWarfare Center Port HuenemeDivision (NSWC PHD), recently participated inthe SecondAnnual ProfessionalNetworking Social,“Empowering the Future Innovators,” sponsoredby the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers(SHPE) Student Chapter at Santa Barbara CityCollege.The main goal of the April 13 event was to pro-

vide a forum for college and high school studentsinterested in pursuing science, technology, engineer-ing and math (STEM) studies and careers. Thesocial allowed them tomeet with professionals fromgovernment and industry for an evening of work-shops, demonstrations, networking, panel discus-sions and keynote speakers.A second objective was to pique the curiosity

and interest of students by giving them real-worldexamples of how STEM is applied in jobs.“The majority of the students were pursuing the

fields of engineering,” said Rodriguez, a computer

engineer, “specifically mechanical, electricaland aeronautical, but there were some studentsinterested in computer science.”Using modeling and simulation demonstra-

tions, Powell and Rodriguez showed some ofthe engineering work done at the Navy base.

“The students found the models very inter-esting,” said Powell, adding that some of themwere familiar with the software and hardwareused to create them.“By seeing the model of a Navy ship, we can

better explain our engineering work to the stu-dents and describe all the different componentsof engineering that are involved,” said Pow-ell.Rodriguez said most of the students’ ques-

tions centered on the work done at the NavalSurface Warfare Center.“What different engineering fields are hiring;

if internships are available; how much collegedo they need; and the one we hear a lot — dothey have to join the military to work atNSWC?” Rodriguez explained.NSWC Port Hueneme, which employs more

than 1,900 personnel, champions a variety ofprograms involving local schools, such as thePre-Engineering Program for high school stu-dents and the annual Engineering ChallengeEvent for middle school students.

DIEGO GARCIA, British IndianOcean Territory — Seabees from NavalMobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)40 rose early on a recent Monday toparticipate in a 26-mile bike ride, whileothers took a long run to prepare forthe upcoming Physical ReadinessTest.Navy personnel at Naval Support Fa-

cility Diego Garcia met at the island’spicturesque marina, prepared with ath-letic gear and hydration packs, to em-

bark on what would be a two-hour ride.Though early in the morning, the heatwas already intense on the tropical is-land, and medical staff was standing byto support the athletes.Races such as this one are just some

of the healthy ways to spend free timeon Diego Garcia.“The island has a great gym and pool,

so I enjoy planning our workouts,” saidBuilder 3rd Class Christian Guzman,the detachment’s unit fitness leader. “Ipersonally spend time on the runningpath along the main road. It’s very flat

and a good place to train for mara-thons.”Running and biking, while popular,

are not the only fitness-friendly pas-times on the tiny island base. Weightlift-ing, swimming and team sports are alsofavorites among Fighting 40’s Seabees.“We’re pretty isolated out here, and

this deployment is a perfect opportu-nity to improve yourself,” said Con-struction Electrician 3rd Class RobSchnettler, also a unit fitness leader forDetail Diego Garcia. “You’re not get-ting off this rock anytime soon, so

you’ve got to find a way to make it yourisland and make the fun happen.”Basketball games against other Navy

and Air Force commands and civiliancontractors are a weekly highlight forseveral of NMCB 40’s Seabees.“The great thing about basketball

games is that it gives us a way to unwindafter work, mingle with other people onthe island, and it’s a great way to stayin shape,” said Builder 3rd Class XavierSpencer. “It’s good to play hard afterworking hard, especially on deploy-ment.”

Seabees assigned to NavalMobile Con-struction Battalion (NMCB) 5 recentlyparticipated in chemical, biological andradiological (CBR) training at Naval BaseVentura County, Port Hueneme.The April 10 event trained students on

the proper use of CBR protective equip-ment, M40-A gas mask, Joint LogisticsIntegrated Suit Technology (JSLIST) andhow to protect against CBR agents.“We give basic overall knowledge of

different components of the gasmask andknowledge of radiological and chemicalhazards,” said Hospital Corpsman 1stClass Jennefer English, one of the instruc-tors at NBVC’s Disaster RecoverySchool.Students were instructed on how to

properly donMission Oriented ProtectivePosture (MOPP) gear in the event of aCBR attack.After the classroom portion of the

course, students conductedCBRdrills andpracticed gas mask training in the NavalConstruction Training Center confidencechamber.“I think it is important that Seabees go

through the class because we are out inthe field,” said Logistics Specialist 2ndClass Marquita Hennings, a Seabee as-signed to NMCB 5.Hennings said she learned new tech-

niques tomaintain her gas mask and keepit in usable condition. She said she’ll usethis training to teach junior service mem-bers and while she’s on field training ex-ercises.NMCB 5 Seabees are preparing for a

scheduled Pacific Command deploymentearly next year.

Right on the heels of winning a safetyaward from the Naval Education andTraining Command, the safety managerof the Naval Construction Training Cen-ter (NCTC), Steven George, has beennamed the sole recipient of the NavyLeague of the United States Fiscal Year2011Admiral Vern Clark Individual Safe-ty Award.“I am still in shock,”George said. “It is

a competitive field.”George credited theNCTC team, calling

his co-workers “the real winners.”“The safety programs onlywork because

everyone— staff and students—aremak-ing the right safety decisions on and offduty,” George said. “I love to be on thedeck plates and covering safety programsduring ‘A’ school and command indoctri-nation, but my administrative duties pre-vent me from being a more visible pres-ence. The real winners are the NCTCteam.”George, a retired senior chief, has been

employed by NCTC since retiring fromactive duty in 2002.The NCTC trains Seabees to operate in

remote locations all over the world. Thereare about 150 military and civilian staffmembers at the center, and an average of7,000 students come through the programeach year.“Mr. George has a tremendous work

ethic, and he is committed to the overallmission, said Lt. Cmdr. Chad Koster, ex-ecutive officer of the NCTC. “He is 100percent focused on safety.”In 2009, NCTC received the Navy

League’s Admiral Vern Clark CommandSafety Award.George has established and fostered an

aggressive safety training program andculture that promotes not only occupa-tional safety and health awareness, butincorporates recreational off-duty safetyas well.His safety programs instill sound safety

principles and behaviors in staff and stu-dents alike. During the last three years,the total lost time case rate has continued

to decline, and there has not been a ClassA, Class B or civilian mishap.Motorcycle mishaps dropped from two

in Fiscal Year 2010 to zero in 2011— andthere are more than 40 command ridersin a densely populated traffic area of

California.“I have been able to keep a solid network

with safety experts,”George said. “WhenI have a question, I have several people toturn to who are always willing to help meout.”

SIGONELLA, Italy – Seabees fromNaval Mobile Construction Battalion(NMCB) 3, Detail Sigonella, rebuilt asecurity fence last month at Naval AirStation (NAS) Sigonella that had beenseverely damaged by heavy rains andflooding.Shortly after the detail arrived at the

naval air station, heavy rains hit, flood-ing the area and prompting the NASPublic Works Department and NASSecurity to request assistance from theSeabees.“They call us because this is what we

do,” said Steelworker 3rd Class AdamSmalley. “We assessed the situation,provided the base with a list of whatwe would need to make repairs, andthen got straight to work.”Areas that were damaged included

the fleet postal office, solar panels, aparking lot, a bus stop, the Navy Ex-change roof, the base galley, the basecommissary and the security fence.“Getting the fence repaired was very

high on the base’s priority list,” said

Lt. Cmdr. Don Crumpacker, NASSigonella’s security officer. “This is ourfirst line of defense in keeping personsoff this base that are not autho-rized.”The Seabees removed the damaged

fence, cleaned up the site and installedthe replacement fence.“Disaster prevention and recovery

operations are key to the Seabee mis-sion,” said Chief Construction Electri-cian Travis Canaday. “Projects like thisrequire a quick damage assessment andeven quicker estimation on how tomake repairs in the most efficient, ex-peditious and available means. This iswhat the Seabee ‘can do’ is allabout.”The detail of Seabees deployed to

NAS Sigonella from Port Hueneme inFebruary as part of a routine six-monthdeployment. The detail is part ofNMCB 3, an expeditionary element ofU.S. naval forces providing construc-tion, engineering and security servicesin support of national strategy, navalpower projection, humanitarian assis-tance and contingency operations.

military is special, too.“It’s an honor to speak to the mili-

tary. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t

ors, Seabees, civilians and familymembers expressed their own appre-

ciation for Charles’ willingness to tellhis story.“It’s truly amazing the strength of

will and character it took to survive,”said Chief Staff Officer Capt. DavidSasek. “Meeting survivors and WorldWar II veterans brings history to life.It helps us remember.”

Quoting orator Edmund Burke,Sasek summed up the main reason itis so important to remember the Ho-locaust and its survivors:“All that is necessary for evil to tri-

umph is that good men do nothing.We must ensure that good men do notstand by and do nothing.”

BryanHarre’s television hadmade the trek of a TV’s life-time.It had gone from a show-

room to a cherished spot in afamily room. Then, when a big-ger and brighter TV joined thefamily, it was moved into achild’s bedroom and eventu-ally relegated to a corner of thegarage. There it had sat untilmaking its last move — to arecycling heap at Naval BaseVentura County (NBVC), PortHueneme.“This recycling event was on

my wife’s radar screen,” saidHarre, an engineer at theNavalFacilities Engineering ServiceCenter. “And recycling to helpthe environment—well, that’swhat we do.”The life of this television isn’t

quite over. Its shell will be sentto a plastics recycler, perhapsto be melted and molded into

something new. Its circuitboard will be recycled, its glasstubes treated, the rest of itsparts put to other uses.Same with the computer

monitors and printers and mi-

crowaves and speakers andcables and every other piece ofhousehold electronic waste —7,000 pounds in all — thatmade its way Friday, April 20,to the Earth Day recycling

events at Port Hueneme andNBVC Point Mugu.There was no charge to drop

off the items.“This is an opportunity to

support the people who live onbase and need to turn in oldelectronic equipment,” saidDan Shide, head of the Envi-ronmental Division at NBVC.The household e-waste recy-

cling event was the first on thebase in two years. It was a jointeffort of the base and CJ SetoSupport Services, a licensedNewbury Park recycler thathauls away materials collectedduring recycling events in Ven-tura County.“This and other Earth Day

events provide a good oppor-tunity to highlight today’s en-vironmental issues and makepeople aware of how importantthe environment is— and howseriously we take stewardshipand compliance here on thebase,” Shide said.

“Who likes animals?”With that, wildlife biologistMartin Ru-

ane had the complete attention of 60 first-graders at Bard Elementary School in PortHueneme — no easy feat.Telling them a few minutes later that

condors used to eat dead dinosaurs didn’thurt.Ruane, who works for the Naval Base

Ventura County’s Environmental Divi-sion, visited the school Friday, April 20,and spent half an hour entertaining theyoungsters with stories about the many

animals that live on base and in the sur-rounding area and what children can doto help them thrive.His Friday talk in honor of Earth Day

was a repeat of one he’d done the day be-fore to a different group of first-graders.As the father of a kindergartner, he knewhow to find that rightmix of show-and-telland listening.He brought along a bagful of “eeews,”

like a perfectly preserved bat, some seamammal fur and a bunch of animalskulls.He talked about camouflage and why

some coastal birds lay sand-colored eggs.He used words like “habitat” and waspleasantly surprised when several of thefirst-graders knew what it meant.He stressed that people must never, ever

go near or touch anywild animal, any nestor any egg.That perplexed one youngster, espe-

cially after Ruane held up a Canada gooseegg.

“If you’re not supposed to touch them,why do you have one?” the boy asked.“You know, that is a really good ques-

tion,” Ruane answered before discussinghis job as a wildlife biologist.“It’s a fun job,” he said, adding that he

gets to wade through mud and collectsnails, and that he gets to see— and smell— beaches covered with elephant seals.First-grade teacherMaryAlvarado said

Ruane’s talk was important on several dif-ferent levels.“Everyone is really proud when some-

one from the base comes,” she said. “Andhaving someone come and share their pro-fessional experiences with the children isreally important. They get to hear abouta profession other than teaching.”Also, she said, the Earth Day lessons

are invaluable.“This carries over into everything we

stress about recycling and keeping theoceans clean,” she said.

he enlisted in the Navy. In thepast year, Salazar has deployedto Afghanistan, where he ex-celled in leading andmentoringjunior troops through an eight-month deployment to the Cen-tral Command Area of Re-sponsibility; enjoyed a veryshort homeport; and is nowcurrently deployed toOkinawa,Japan, where he has been serv-ing as assistant platoon chiefin support of Pacific Fleet op-erations.His outstanding leadership

and rolemodelmentorship wasrecognized when he was se-lected early last year as NMCB40’s Sailor of the Year (SOY).He then continued climbing theladder to become the 31st Sea-bee Readiness Group and 1stNaval Construction Division’sSOY recipient.“There are tens of thousands

of Sailors in the Pacific Fleet,

so to see one of our Seabeesaccomplish what he did and berecognized as the top sailor atsea this past year is truly specialand an accomplishment thatwill stay with 40 and the NavalConstruction Force forever,”said NMCB 40 CommandingOfficer Tim J. DeWitt. “Wecouldn’t be more proud ofChief Select Salazar, and hap-py for his wife Michelle, andtheir children Louis and Mi-kaella.”Salazar has not taken this

journey alone, as he has hadthe enduring love and supportof his wife and family along theway.“There are not enoughwords

to describe the joy I feel for myhusband,” said Michelle Sala-zar. “I am extremely proud ofhim and his accomplish-ments.“My husband loves what he

does, and I will continue tosupport him through his pas-

sions and his career.“I was born and raised here

in Ventura County, which hasgiven us the tremendous bless-ing of having our family hereas a support system,” she add-ed. “This has helped me per-sonally through the difficultiesof separation and has allowed

my husband to focus on hiscareer knowing that we are safeat home. I look forward to thenew opportunities this presti-gious designationmay bring tohis career and our family.”Salazar will be officially pro-

moted to chief petty officerMay 18.

Every year, the Naval ConstructionTraining Center turns Dozer Field into amessy obstacle course full of slipperymud,water pits, ropes, logs and tires. Partici-pants start with a two-mile run, then crawlthrough, over and under muck to the fin-ish line.Due to the depth of water in the pits,

participants must be at least 16 years old.Cost is $10 for military, $20 for civilians.For the 400 who have pre-registered,

those who are 18 and older must be U.S.citizens and must show photo identifica-tion to gain access to the base May 19.Registration remains open at the website

active.com for two other major eventscoming up at NBVC. The Admirals CupTriathlon is June 23, and the WoundedWarrior Half Marathon is Sept. 15.For more information call 989-7378.
