Summer is Here, Enjoy and Be ResponsibleGreetings Rota Community,

First of all, I would like to take a moment to reiterate a very heart felt congratulations to the David G. Farragut Class of 2011! It was truly an honor to have been a part of last Friday night's festivities. It is always inspiring to

see such impressive, motivated young people moving forward to that next big adventure in their lives.

Next, I'd like to reflect on my first couple of weeks onboard. Though breaking free from the rigors of the office has been much harder than I imagined, it has been a pleasure getting out and into your spaces. The more

people I meet, the more it confirms what I had heard before arriving – that I would find a hard-working, professional group of people who are great at what they do, and proud to do it. On that note, if you see me out and about, please

don't be a stranger and walk up and say hello. The close-ness of community and hometown feel of Rota is one of those special traits that make this such a wonderful place to work and live. And, although it may take me multiple drive by's to attach names to faces, I truly can't wait to get to know everyone on base.

Finally, we are officially in the "100 Days of Summer," which typically runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. With the actual start of summer just around the corner, we must all remember to think before we act, be responsible and look out for our fellow service members. Here in Rota we have many opportunities to enjoy the 3,200 hours of annual sunshine we are lucky enough to have. But with that comes the escalated chance of dehydration, outdoor accidents and the ever-present responsibility associated with the consumption of alcohol. I encourage each and every one of you to enjoy yourselves to the fullest, but please be responsible. Watch out for one another, make a plan and please be safe out there!

It’s a honor to serve with you Rota. Take care.

U.S. Naval Hospital Rota, Spain held its sixth annual Host Nation Health Symposium at Hotel Puerto Sherry in El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain, June 10.

The purpose of this annual event is to exchange ideas and techniques with USNHRS civilian counterparts in Andalucía as well as with military health professionals at other military installations in Spain.

This year’s main theme of obesity included six lec-tures with specific coverage in areas of diet, nutrition, surgical treatment and metabolic disorders.

“The idea for this annual meeting is not only a profes-sional meeting, but an interaction,” said Capt. Roberto Cabassa, pediatric dentist at USNHRS and symposium course director. “This is great because not only are we giving the best care possible, but the safest care and doing the best for our people.”

Simultaneous translation from English to Spanish and vice versa were available via headsets for attendees and speakers to enhance the level of communication. After each lecture, presenters held question and answer ses-sions with the audience and gave in-depth responses.

Many first time attendees were impressed by the level of knowledge their Spanish counterparts displayed during their lectures.

“The opportunity to liaise and share knowledge with our host country and international medical team is in-valuable,” said Cmdr. Raymond Batz, director of public health services at USNHRS and first time symposium attendee. “The key element I hope everyone takes from this is the fact that obesity is a world problem, not just here in Spain.”

Helping to build a better understanding and dialogue is a two-way street. For Spanish attendees, coming to the event and giving a lecture was an honor said Dr. Francisco Perez Grimaldi, sleep disorder specialist, Jerez de La Frontera Hospital, Jerez and symposium guest speaker.

“I am glad to meet other doctors and look forward to working with them,” said Grimaldi. “We work with many patients together. I am happy to share my experiences with American health care providers. I was glad to attend and learn about obesity and other diseases associated with it that I may not be that familiar with.”

Cabassa said USNHRS sends about 1,200 patients a year to local health care providers in the surrounding area - this symposium makes interactions easier.

“Knowing who is out there, we can directly talk to a neurosurgeon out there who is taking care of our patients,” said Cabassa. “We have established such a relation that we feel comfortable walking in, not getting special treatment, but ease in making the process work for the benefit of our patients.”

Cabassa feels the symposium is a great way to learn about the host nation’s culture, one of the benefits he feels of being overseas.

“Our Spanish attendees learn and get a feeling of how we do things in our hospital, and we get to learn how they do things in their health system,” said Cabassa. “I hope we can keep doing this every year, so we can be acquainted with what is outside the gate; bringing our two communities together.”

David Glasgow Farragut Elementary School’s Drug Abuse Resistance Education program graduated 33 students at the Naval Station Rota Gateway Theater, June 10.

NAVSTA security petty officers instructed the DGF sixth grade classes of John Jayo and Mabel Segovia. The program is designed to teach students how to recognize and resist the pressures to experiment with drugs, alcohol and tobacco.

D.A.R.E. Officers MA2 Jose Pacheco, MA3 Alesha Kerse, YN2(EXS/SW/AW) Mike Turner and MA1 Sean Stockwell have spent the past school year mentoring the students on the D.A.R.E. curriculum.

We like to focus specifically on the sixth graders,

because we believe it is the focal point between their childhood and their early adulthood,” said D.A.R.E. Officer MA2 Jose Pacheco. “We teach about the drugs and the alcohol, but we also like to focus on bullying and how to be confident in yourself in negative situ-ations.”

D.A.R.E. graduate, Jake Hardy, said he enjoyed the class and said the skills he learned will help him as he is growing up.

“It’s a great way to help us kids say no to drugs and violence calm and respectfully,” said Hardy.

NAVSTA Rota Commanding Officer Captain Scott Kraverath spoke on the importance of the D.A.R.E. program.

While we enjoy living in beautiful southern Spain, we have to be conscious of the local environmental conditions. This area is notoriously dry from May through October and the reservoirs reach extremely low levels. Many years water restrictions are imposed in the local towns and fines can be issued for excessive use of potable water. Our water on base is drawn from the Spanish water authority and we must do our part to conserve water.

The grass in the Housing area is kikuyu and doesn’t require a lot of water to grow and stay green in the warm months. It can turn brown in the cold weather, but comes back as soon as warmer weather returns. Watering your lawn for 20 – 30 minutes a day is more than enough to keep your lawn plush and green. Watering during the day can burn your lawn.

Do Your Part, Respect NAVSTA Rota's Watering HoursbY NAVSTA houSiNg oFFiCe

María Díaz, Spanish Liaison Officer, does her part to save energy by utilizing natural light in the workplace.

The sixth grade class at David Glasgow Farragut Elementary School held their D.A.R.E. graduation at the NAVSTA Rota Gateway Theater June 10. The 33 students learned skills that will help them say “no” to drugs and help others do the same.

“I would argue that some of the skills you’ve learned in D.A.R.E. will be some of the most important skills you’ll ever learn in your life,” said Kraverath. “Most importantly the notion of how to say ‘no,’ is seemingly so simple, and yet one of the most difficult challenges anyone will ever face.”

The D.A.R.E. officers congratulated the graduates and commended them for all their hard work.

“You all gave it your all and found a way to not only learn the valuable information taught, but to teach your friends and family as well,” said the D.A.R.E. officers. “Thank you for all your hard work and dedica-tion to this program and remember, say ‘no’ to drugs and ‘yes’ to helping others do the same.”

The current authorized hours for watering of lawns is 6 a.m .- 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. - midnight. You are responsible for watering your yard only during these established wa-tering hours. If you have hired a gardener, it is your responsibility to ensure the gardener abides by the regulations. Many residents continue to water outside of these hours on a daily basis. Also, many residents leave the water running throughout the night. As a result of these actions, violators will now be issued a non-compliance notice by Security and/or the Housing site managers. The notice will have date/time of violation and will be forwarded to the resident's chain of command for appropriate disciplinary action.

We encourage your commitment to this program in support of NAVSTA Rota envi-ronmental and financial goals.

NAVSTA Rota Fire Dept. HonoredSTorY ANd phoToS bY mC2(Sw/Aw) TrAViS AlSToN

Naval Station Rota’s Fire Department received the International Association of Fire Chiefs Benjamin Franklin Fire Service Award for Valor during an award presentation coordinated by Associacion “Santo Angel” de la Policia de El Puerto de Santa Maria’s Police Department at the Hotel Monasterio de San Miguel, June 12.

NAVSTA Fire Chief Tim Ybarra accepted the award on behalf of the dedicated firefighters who risk their lives daily for the Rota base and com-munity.

This award, the IAFC's most prestigious, rec-ognizes the spirit of service, courage and hero-ism that is a tradition among the world's fire and emergency service. The program is named for one of the first fire chiefs in the United States,

Benjamin Franklin. “This was a very humbling experience for me,”

said Ybarra. “Being acknowledged by our Spanish counterparts really made all the hard work and long hours worthwhile.”

To be considered for the award, individuals need to be nominated by their chief for an incident in which they saved a human life.

“I’m extremely proud of our fire team,” said Ybarra. “The success of the fire department is a joint effort, from the CO to the service members new to the military. Working together as a team is what makes us so successful.”

Rota is described as a model fire department, raising the bar and setting new performance stan-dards throughout the region.

Rota NATOPS Performance Re-Sets the Standard for Air Traffic Control and Ground Electronics STorY bY mCC(Sw/Aw) mikel bookwAlTer

Naval Station Rota, Spain has become the new benchmark for Naval Air Train-ing and Operating Procedures Standardization evaluation performance accord-ing to Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic; a sharp turnaround from last year.

Commander, Naval Air Forces Atlantic conducted an Air Traffic Control and Ground Electronic Maintenance Department NATOPS Evaluation of Naval Station Rota, Spain in May. NATOPS evaluators checked more than 600 air traffic control and 130 GEMD procedures and policies, from training Sailors to landing aircraft and everything in between. Performing poorly during this type of evaluation can shut down operations until deficiencies are fixed.

“ A n e n o r m o u s turnaround from last evaluation. Ensign Orr and ACC Diaz have done a remarkable job reconstructing the division’s procedures and policies,” said NA-TOPS Evaluator LCDR Michael McCarthy, in a report to the Com-manding Officer, Naval Station Rota, Spain. “The best prepared facility we have evalu-ated. Bravo Zulu to AC1 Benson, AC1 Castillo, AC1 Figueroa, AC1 Lawson, AC2 Ortega-cruz and AC3 Sienk-kenin!”

Rota’s ATC received only one minor defi-ciency throughout the evaluation, a 98% reduction in procedure and policy discrepancies from the 2010 evaluation, easily earning the coveted score of satisfactory overall.

Air Operations leadership attributes the successful evaluation and outstand-ing performance to the Sailors getting it done on the deckplates.

“Assigning the right Sailors for the right job, providing clear guidance and trusting their decisions gave the Sailors ownership, which ultimately was the reason for such a great turnaround,” said ATC Division Officer Ensign Bobbi Orr.

Rota’s GEMD received two minor deficiencies during the evaluation, also earning an overall score of satisfactory.

In the closing remarks of their report, NATOPS officials stated, “ET2 Mi-randa, ET2 Mayo, ET2 Moore and ET2 Rericha are commended for their planning, preparation and presentation efforts.” It was also mentioned that the self-assessment document Rota GEMD created and used to prep for the evaluation will be made available to other facilities as an example of how to prepare for a NATOPS evaluation.

ET1 Vincent Costigan monitors and assists maintenance being performed by ET2 John Moore while ET3 Melissa Cardenas observes. Maintenance is part of the daily routine for Air Operations Sailors aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain.

Quick Assist Loans: Earning Their Name Every Day

bY liSA ASzklAr, NAVY-mAriNe CorpS relieF SoCieTY

Quick! How much is 15 minutes of your time worth?

If you said “$300,” you’re right, thanks to Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society’s Quick Assist Loan program!

The QAL program is the Society’s alter-native to high-interest payday loans. With an application process of just 15 minutes, it offers the same speed and ease of a payday loan, without any of the stigma or risks associated with predatory loans. The QAL is a need-based, no-interest loan designed to help with basic living expenses, transportation and vehicle re-pairs, medical and dental costs and family emergencies that can confront us all.

Ben Franklin once said “Beware of little expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.” Think of a QAL as the damage control plug that can fix the leak and allow the ship to remain afloat. With a maxi-mum loan amount of $300 and requiring only an LES and an active duty ID card as proof of obligated service, absence of fines, and sufficient income to repay, the Quick Assist Loan is a lifesaver for many Sailors and Marines.

One of the Society’s newest and most successful offerings, the QAL program is similar to all of the Society’s programs in that Sailors and Marines do not need permission from their chain of command to obtain one; simply fill out the application on our web site or in an NMCRS office. A service member is allowed up to two QALs per 12-month period and funds are issued directly to the service member, not the creditor. Repayment must be com-pleted within 10 months by allotment. In

addition, the service member is allowed only one outstanding QAL at a time. To make the entire process even easier, NMCRS offices worldwide have arranged for local banks or merchants to cash the QAL check so overdraft fees never come into the picture.

NMCRS Executive Vice President Jan Gaudio says the Society is committed to combating the dangers of predatory lenders. The QAL program is a critical component of that commitment.

“The Society’s intent was to confront high interest payday loans on three fronts: legislative change, education and awareness, and no-interest alternatives for Sailors and Marines,” he says. “The National Defense Authorization Act of 2007 provided legislative relief from some of the most harmful aspects of predatory lending to service personnel and their families, including prohibition of payday loans, auto title loans, and tax refund anticipation loans with interest rates ex-ceeding 36 percent."

The program’s success has exceeded all expectations. Over the last five years, the Society has documented a 75 percent downturn in the number of requests for as-sistance related to repayment of predatory loans, thanks in part to the QAL program.

Last year, more than 50,000 Sailors and Marines took advantage of the Soci-ety’s Quick Assist Loan program, making the intelligent decision to choose NMCRS as their first resource for help when finan-cial emergencies arose.

Stop by your local NMCRS office for more information.

As we go back to looking at “Lessons for Life” this week, I’d like for us to consider a proverb that the wise

king Solomon shared with his son in order to prepare him to take the throne. It is a basic

leadership principle that has the potential, if properly ap-plied, to radically transform any relationship or organiza-tion. Countless books have discussed this important

topic at great length, but none have captured its es-sence as beautifully and concisely as this:

“Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it.” (Proverbs 3:27)

Evening Adult Bible Study This adult Bible Study begins with a meal at 6:30 p.m. Thursday evenings with group study from 7 - 8 p.m.

How do we apply this truth? It is as easy as saying “thank you” when someone has gone out of their way to help you or has shown you some measure of kind-ness. It is finding ways to reach out to your spouse after he or she has had a stressful day at work or with the kids. It is taking an entire day off to reach out to the well-deserving but less fortunate, just like our NAVSTA First Class Association did this past Saturday with their COMREL project. And it is doing the right thing when we are in positions of leadership, by getting to know our people and then looking out for them both profession-ally and personally. If we put others’ concerns before our own and look out for their welfare, opportunities to do good to them will be obvious and readily at hand, regardless of our rank, title or position in life.

On the flip side, if we withhold good from those to whom it is due, relationships and teamwork suffer. If positive encouragement and mutual support fails to occur in a marriage, an unspoken barrier often begins to be built between the couple and intimacy wanes. In a work environment, morale will plummet and negativity will abound. Many people will begin to look out only for themselves and will not invest in those around them.

So what about you? Navy leadership has recently declared that our Sailors are a “global force for good.” Are you doing your part?

NAVSTA Rota First Class Association Lends a Hand to a Neighbor in NeedNAVSTA Rota’s First Class Petty Officer Associa-tion knows what it means to lend a helping hand to those in need of assistance. With the help of the Rota community, 34 service members and civilians descended upon the Cyd Santa Maria Horse Rescue Center, an organization the FCPOA has chosen to assist with much needed manual labor and supplies.

Last year, the FCPOA voted to help sponsor the Cyd Santa Maria Horse Rescue Center, which is located in the foothills of Marbella. This refuge for injured, abandoned and abused horses, relies solely on dona-tions and volunteers to maintain the center. Extreme cases of neglect and abuse are brought to the refuge which offers medical treatment and a second chance at life. The horses are re-homed when possible, but in some cases, stay the remainder of their lives - out of harms way.

Yeoman First Class Earl McFarland, president of the FCPOA, said they exceeded their goal of doing more than last year.

“When you arrive at the center and you see how much our helped is needed and how much of an im-pact we’ve made in the past six years with various improvements and upgrades, you’ll know first hand that this COMREL is important,” said McFarland. “It is my dream that this COMREL will one day be adopted by Naval Base Rota as a whole. The outstanding re-sponse throughout the base makes me believe that this will one day be a reality. You walk away with that feeling of accomplishment and the satisfaction of giv-ing back to the communities of our host nation. I would highly recommend this one to everyone.”

The volunteers arrived at the center, tools in hand and ready to work. By the end of the day, 200 fence posts were installed, electric fencing was attached, damaged stable walls were replaced, wooden stable walls and iron gates were painted, enclosures were cleaned and a metal horse shelter was welded and erected which will enable the facility to accommodate 10 more horses.

“The work that the Americans do here is amazing, and I cannot express how much we appreciate all that they do,” said Concordia Marquez Garcia, the owner of the rescue center. “With the recession [in Spain], so many more horses are becoming abandoned or neglected, and it is our job to ensure that these horses are cared for properly. With the work the Americans have done, we will be able to home more horses and continue our work rescuing animals in need.”

The FCPOA raised funds throughout the year to help support this community relations event. The cha-pel, NMCB 74 First Class Petty Officer Association, U.S. Naval Hospital Rota, Spain’s First Class Petty Officer Association and the Chief Petty Officer Asso-ciation provided financial support, which enabled the FCPOA to execute its mission successfully.

“I would like to thank everyone who came out and gave up their whole Saturday,” said McFarland. “ We made an impact that day, and the rescue center will forever be grateful. Pat yourselves on the back for a job well done, and be ready for the next one, which will be in October.”

Corpus Chr i s t i Ce l ebrat i onSecond only to Easter, Corpus Christi is an important Catholic celebration. Corpus Christi is the Catholic holiday in honor of the presence of the body of Christ in the holy wafer. It is celebrated throughout Spain and is held in May or June, depending on when Easter occurs. The body of Christ (in the form of a wafer) encased in an ornate carriage is taken through the streets in a solemn and magnificent procession.

Although Corpus Christi is celebrated everywhere in

bY mANuel jAime-AlbA, CommuNiTY relATioNS AdViSor

Andalucia, it is most famous in Sevilla and especially in Granada where this religious celebration is fused with the annual feria.

The history of Corpus Christi in Granada is particu-larly interesting, because the Catholic kings used it as a tool to Christianize a population that had been under Muslim rule for some eight centuries. Today it is a typi-cal tradition to carpet the streets of towns and villages with greenery for the solemn processions.

While the Corpus Christi celebration in Granada is

the most spectacular, this religious holiday is celebrat-ed in most towns throughout Andalucia. Of particular interest are; Zahara de la Sierra, Bornos, Arcos de la Frontera, El Gastor, Jerez de la Frontera, and, many others, which are all in the province of Cadiz. Also a special mention to the Corpus Christi celebration in Sevilla, June 23 (local holiday).

Corpus Christi celebration is part of our culture and is one of the most relevant traditions of Andalucia, one you should not miss.

Have a Great Summer and Enjoy Spain!Los Argentinos in Rota re-opens tomor-row after their short vacation. To cel-ebrate, they invite all of the costumers to

a tasting of s a n g r i a tomorrow. Stop by, we lcome them back, e n j o y a

taste of sangria and have some of their good food and friendly service.

Tomorrow night is Japanese night at Molly Malone. This is probably the most popular of their theme nights. Stop by and enjoy Japanese specialties and good company in a friendly atmosphere. Molly Malone is located at the entrance to the El Ancla complex in Puerto.

Paddy Bar in Rota is a dog-friendly bar. That is one of the things I like best about going in there. You almost always find some nice dogs to stop and talk to and pet. They are always well behaved, and I think well-behaved dogs should be allowed almost everywhere people are al-lowed. Paddy Bar is the Irish bar located on Plaza de las Canteras at the beginning of Avda. San Fernando.

When I did the write-up about Pul-sazione last month, the part about radio-frequency got my attention, because my upper arms really needed to be firmed up. I had recently put on a short sleeved shirt and was horrified when I saw my upper arms. What had happened? In

the last year my exercise routine had changed, because the gym had changed the classes offered at the time I could go, and I was doing less for the arms (of course adding a year doesn’t help either). I had lost muscle mass and the result was easily visible. Immediately, I started add-ing more arm exercises at the gym and then when I read about radiofrequency, I decided I would try it. The treatment consists of 10 or 12 sessions; the first six are weekly and then spaced out more. Each session is 40 minutes: 20 on each arm. I have now had five sessions and can tell a real difference. Until I was sure that I wasn’t imagining things, I didn’t want to write about it, but now I am sure that there has been a definite improve-ment, I feel comfortable saying so. Now I can wear short sleeves and not feel self conscience. Pulsazione also offers hair removal, cavitation and pressure therapy. All of the sessions cost 25 euros for one zone. In the case of the arms, both arms are considered one zone. They now have discount cards; you pay for five sessions up front and get six. Pulsazione is located at Valdés 20, near the bullring in Puerto. You can get more information or an ap-pointment by calling 956-87-2391 or 653-18-8172 or writing puertodesantamaria@pulsazione.es

They do speak English. Jacqueline Monroy sent me some

information on an interesting language program called Vaughantown where she

is volunteering for a week. In 2001, Robert Vaughan converted an abandoned town in the province of Soria into a bustling metropolis whose official language is English. They stocked the village with 20 native English speakers from all over the world and 20 Spaniards whose aim was to gain fluency in English. The pilot proj-ect was such a success that it attracted world-wide attention and the program has continued until present. Go to http://www.grupovaughan.com/indexVaughanTown.php to find out more about this innova-tive program.

There is still time to sign up for the paddle tennis tournament in Puerto Sherry, you have until the June 21. The tournament will be held June 24 – 26 and you can sign up at the Puerto Sherry Paddle Club. The cost is 10 euros for members and 15 euros for non-members.

Find out more at padelpuertosherry@xtremetennis.org or call 956-87-3510 or 618-44-0680.

Summer officially begins in a few days. Although the solstice is June 21, in a good part of Spain the celebrations are on the night of June 23 - 24; the night of San Juan. In this area, bonfires are lit on the beaches to chase away the evil spirits and well known figures are hung in effigy. These celebrations are known as “Juanines” here, and all over Spain, and they evolve around fire and light. Have a good summer!

DGF Students Interview Retiring DoDDS Employees

I interviewed Mr. Latham on his upcoming retirement and this is what I found out.I asked him how long he has been teaching and he replied, “A very, very, long

time.” He started teaching in Portland, Ore. and has been at DGF Elementary for three years. At DGF he was the Sure Start teacher but he has not always taught that. He has taught everything from Sure Start to the sixth grade. The thing he likes most about his job is working with the kids.

I asked him what he is going to miss most about DGF and Spain he replied, “The good group of kids here, the very professional staff, going out to eat tapas and I will also miss the ocean.” What does he plan to do during his retirement? “Sleep in late,” he said.

Well, Mr. Latham, I wish you the best in your retirement.

Coach Cooley has always been a coach but he started coaching in Merryville, La. In 1991 he moved to Rota, Spain. The one thing he really loved was seeing the kids improve in their skills. What he liked most about his job is working with kids' and that is the thing he is going to miss about Rota. One thing he wanted to do as a kid is he wanted to be a coach and move close to home; in his retirement he will move back home and fish, hunt, garden with his wife, maybe coach and probably remember his 46 years of coaching. Looks like Coach Cooley finally got what he wanted.

People ask what is a good guidance counselor and I say, Mr. Storm! Mr. Storm began working at DGF Elementary School in 1995. He started his counseling career in 1976 at Norwood Health center in Wisconsin and has been teaching at DGF for 16 years this coming August. Mr. Storm has always been in the counseling business and says his favorite thing about his job is the clientele. I asked Mr. Storm what he will miss the most about DGF and his response was, 'the students.' His plans for retirement is to travel and use time as he pleases. Mr. Storm said his favorite memory of DGF are having fun laughing with the kids. Interviewing Mr. Storm brought back many good memories about him. I have to admit I’m going to really miss Mr. Storm.

Several David Glasgow Farragut Elementary School employees will be retiring at the end of the school year. Students took a few moments and sat down with these individuals to conduct an interview and find out what their retirement plans are.
