WHAT’S INSIDE

By Kimberly GearhartNBVC Public Affairs

California is in the middle of a severe drought, and residents are

being asked to reduce water use as much as possible to help avert a possible water shortage.

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), through proactive con-servation efforts that include the use of smart irrigation systems developed by Naval Facilities En-gineering and Expeditionary

Warfare Center, has reduced its overall water usage by more than 40 percent since 2007.

“But we can do more,” said Capt. Larry Vasquez, NBVC’s commanding officer.

Public Works has developed guidance for water conservation-to help individuals and institu-

tions reduce consumption during the drought.

The biggest single concern ad-dressed in the guidance is irriga-tion.

“Overwatering is a big con-cern,” said Cmdr. Paul Chan,

As drought worsens, base uses less waterNBVC reduces consumption by 40 percent since 2007

So you’re looking for a job, but you’re not planning to at-tend the Sept. 17 career fair at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)?

Elton Oliphant has one word of advice for you:

Go.Oliphant found his current

job at the last career fair on base — at the last booth he visited, in a field he never anticipated.

“I might still be bouncing around between jobs if it wasn’t for that career fair,” he said, “or I might be in a job that’s burn-ing me out and not taking me

Sunday, Oct. 5, is the last day of business for the Armed Forces Bank branch located in the Navy Exchange complex at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hue-neme.

Customers received a letter dat-ed Aug. 20 informing them of the closure.

“Your accounts will not be im-pacted,” the letter states, pointing out that online and mobile banking services, as well as the company’s Customer Care Center, are not af-fected by the branch closure.

Eight employees are losing their jobs, said Sylvia Miller, the banking center manager who is among those leaving.

Miller said the bank has been in the NEX complex since November of 2004.

Q: The mosquitoes at Point Mugu this year are abnor-mally numerous, and I’ve received multiple bites each day even though I used mosquito repellant. With the outbreak of West Nile Virus in nearby Orange County, I am concerned about the lack of mosquito remediation at Point Mugu.

A: Every year, we who live and work at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu contend with mosquitoes; we work next to a lagoon and 2,500 acres of protected wet-lands. In April each year, the NBVC environmental team works with The Lighthouse to publish information regard-ing mosquito season, including how to help in remediation efforts and how to protect yourself. Sometimes though, repellent and long sleeves just aren’t enough.

Luckily for us, most of the mosquitoes at NBVC are saltwater species, which are nuisance rather than vector mosquitoes. This means that while bites are painful and itchy, they do not transmit diseases like West Nile.

Many of the efforts for controlling the mosquito popula-tion are relatively invisible to the public, as they target the larvae to prevent adults from developing. Remediation ef-

forts begin in April or May every year and always include monitoring of larval activity and the use of treatments in spawning areas, like the lagoon or drainage ditches. Due to the sensitivity of the wetlands, the types of chemicals used are limited. This year, Public Works is testing a new, more environmentally friendly form of deterrent to spot-treat high-presence areas. This has been tested in a few places and seems effective at managing the adult popula-tions. Hopefully this new effort, which is compliant with California standards but must be frequently re-applied, will help curb this year’s large mosquito population.

Do you have questions, comments or suggestions? I want to hear them! Reach me here by emailing [email protected], on Facebook at www.facebook.com/Na-valBaseVenturaCounty or on Twitter at www.twitter.com/NBVCCalifornia. You can also go online to our homep-age at http://cnic.navy.mil/ventura/index.htm and use the Commanding Officer’s Suggestion Box. I look forward to hearing from you.

What’s being done about the mosquitoes at NBVC Point Mugu?

The singer Pink will once again lead hundreds of motorcyclists from Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu to Pepperdine University for the annual Ride to the Flags Sunday, Sept. 14.

As she did last year, Pink will serve as grand marshal for the event but is not expected to speak or perform dur-ing ceremonies in front of Building 1.

Registration for the seventh annual Ride to the Flags begins at 9 a.m. at the Las Posas Road exit off the Pa-

cific Coast Highway. Riders can then go to Building 1, where an 11:30 a.m. ceremony will include a wreath-laying and a presentation by Marine Cpl. Jed Morgan and his family.

Morgan was injured by an explosive device in Afghanistan in 2012 and eventually lost both his legs and the use of his right hand. He has been named the beneficiary of this year’s Ride to the Flags; he and his wife, Anna, together with their newborn, are hoping to move from Colorado to Rogue River, Oregon, where Morgan

plans to start a business in firearms and self-defense training.

After the ceremony, motorcyclists will head for Pepperdine University, where 2,977 flags are flying in honor of the innocent victims who died Sept. 11.

A rally is scheduled from 1 to 5 p.m. at Bluffs Park in Malibu, across from Pepperdine.

The flags will remain at Pepperdine until Sept. 23, according to Ali Tagha-vi, the school’s director of communica-tions.

One week after high surf and swift rip-tides caused beachfront flooding and clo-sures at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), a second hurricane off the coast

of Mexico threatened to play havoc with base activities.

Hurricane Norbert brought high swells to the Southern California coast beginning Saturday, Sept. 6, but the impact was minimal compared to the week before,

when remnants of Hurricane Marie hit the coastline.

Sailors and families living at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme will be without power Sunday, Sept. 21, from noon to 7:30 p.m. due to a planned Southern California Edison outage.

The outage is necessary to repair failing insulated electrical terminals along a high-voltage feed. The six-hour outage allows

the repairs to take place before they fail. Failure could damage power lines and result in a three- to four-day emergency outage, explained Lt. Travis Reiss, NBVC’s assistant public works officer.

NBVC Public Works staff will use the planned down time to complete addition-al electrical work around the installation,

reducing the need for future planned out-ages.

The dates and time of the power outage were carefully considered and chosen to minimize impacts to operations. All emer-gency services will be ready and able to

A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held last month in Carcar City, Cebu, Phil-ippines, to commemorate the comple-tion of a two-room schoolhouse to be used as classrooms for Tal-Ut Nation-al High School.

The project was one of several The-ater Security Cooperation (TSC) Con-struction Civic Action Details (CCADs) led by the 30th Naval Construction Regiment (30th NCR), which is home-ported at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme.

The primary focus of the project was military-to-military partnering. The 7-by-18-meter two-room schoolhouse was completed by U.S. Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 1 and Philippine Seabees,

with security support from Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) 53rd Engineering Brigade. The Seabees used a camp provided by Philippine Na-tional Police Regional Public Safety Battalion 7.

Incorporating the new Philippine Department of Education two-room classroom design, construction was completed in 61 duration days for a total cost of $69,808.76.

The Aug. 8 ribbon-cutting ceremony featured several high-ranking local of-ficials and performances by the teach-ers, students and parents to show their appreciation of the effort.

Among those in attendance was Lt. Cmdr. Michael Guzzi, operations of-ficer of 30th NCR.

With childhood behind them and adult-hood in front of them, it’s no wonder teens can find their lives confusing. For some, the idea of attending college is consuming; most of their school classes and activities are geared toward the ultimate goal of getting into and paying for college. Others are enjoying their teen years without much consideration as to what will happen once they face adulthood.

Neither set of teens is doing the wrong thing. Both just need the the balance that insight and guidance can offer.

Middle school sets a stage for students to start learning their strengths, weak-nesses and interests. Some students find that an interest in pre-algebra is higher than in reading and writing about “The Diary of Anne Frank.” Others find that dissecting a frog in life science is more interesting than learning about the Amer-ican Revolution in social studies. Middle school curriculum tends to spark interest in the students’ selection of high school courses and, later, college major.

As students enter high school, class se-lection becomes more important. Students in California must complete the “A-G re-

quirements” if they want to attend a col-lege or university. The intent of the “A-G” subject requirements is to ensure that stu-dents can participate fully in the first-year program at any university in a wide vari-ety of fields of study. The requirements are written deliberately for the benefit of all students expecting to enter a univer-sity, not for preparation for specific ma-jors.

University faculty considers the subject requirements to be effective preparation, on many levels, for undergraduate work. This pattern of study assures the faculty

that the student has attained a body of general knowledge that will provide breadth and perspective to new, more ad-vanced study. Fulfillment of the “A-G” pattern also demonstrates that the student has attained essential critical thinking and study skills.

Every state has a set of requirements for college-bound students. Some states follow the NCAA requirements. However, most states’ requirements are very simi-lar.

It is important for students to realize that high school graduation requirements are not the same as college preparation requirements. Students who fulfill gradu-ation requirements and not “A-G” require-ments are probably not prepared to attend a public four-year university and most likely will not accepted. They will, how-ever, be able to attend a community college and possibly a private university.

Paying for college is often a big concern for the family. It is important to know that there are many opportunities to fund col-lege. Grants, scholarships, a sponsor’s GI Bill, student loans, student contribution and parent contribution are all ways to

pay for college. Within each of these are many other options as well. Without a doubt, a student who is willing to work hard can get through and pay for college. All high schools provide counselors who can help with college planning and deci-sion-making. However, the counselors might not reach out to the students to as-sist with college planning. Students on the college prep path should reach out to their counselors and begin planning during their freshman year.

Senior year comes much faster than students and parents realize. It is most likely too late to plan for college during senior year. Make an appointment as soon as possible with a counselor, and visit your school’s college and career center.

Worship scheduleA Camarillo woman whose father com-

mitted suicide when she was only 15 — and who shared her story last year at Naval Base Ventura County about her years overcoming her grief — will return to the Seabee Chapel Tuesday, Sept. 16, to dis-cuss suicide prevention and awareness.

This year, Kristine Barry-Olsen is bring-ing her sons Matthew, 24, and Trevor, 21. After their 2 p.m. presentation at the Sea-bee Chapel, they’ll head over to the Need-ham Theater, where they’ll talk with stu-dents in the Naval Construction Training Center (NCTC).

Barry-Olsen met with NCTC students

only briefly last year.“This year, we wanted to create an en-

vironment that was more relaxed,” ex-plained Lt. Lesa Welliver, staff chaplain at the base.

About 180 Air Force and Navy students are expected to attend.

Welliver explained that most of the Sail-ors and Airmen at the NCTC fall into the 18- to 24-year-old category, one of the most vulnerable age groups when it comes to suicide.

With Barry-Olsen’s sons being in that same age group, there will be a peer con-nection, she added.

Welliver said the Seabee Chapel presen-tation is expected to take a three-pronged approach, targeting:

• Caregivers — those who are concerned about someone else’s suicidal tenden-cies.

• Suicide survivors — those who have lost a loved one to suicide and are dealing with the stigma and grief associated with it.

• Those who have or are contemplating suicide.

For more information on the presenta-tions, call the Seabee Chapel at 982-4358.

Suicide prevention workshop is Sept. 16


The college graduate who can’t use her degree because she moves every three years with her Sailor.

The new mom who’s staying at home and feels like she’s missing something.

The military spouse who’s swallowed up in her husband’s identity.

Lt. Lesa Welliver, the staff chaplain at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), has seen it all.

“In counseling women of all ages, I have found that there are gaps and areas of incompleteness,” she said. “In some cases, their self-esteem and their confidence have been lost.”

That’s what gave her the idea to host a women’s conference focusing on the theme, “The Complete Woman.”

The conference will be held Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Seabee Chapel. Registra-tion is at 7:30 a.m., and the conference

runs from 8 a.m. to noon.Welliver describes it as “a time to relax

the mind, revive the heart and refresh the spirit.”

Three Navy spouses and Welliver will lead discussions about regaining identity and filling in the gaps of emptiness.

“I think sometimes we get forgotten, or we forget ourselves, as we take on the

many tasks and jobs we have,” Welliver said. “We can all use this opportunity to take the time to breathe and enjoy who we are as women.”

Welliver said she designed the confer-ence for women only because she wants participants to speak frankly and openly about their feelings.

“This is an opportunity for emotional healing,” she explained. “I want to make it as comfortable as possible for women sharing stories and women receiving help-ful, healing information.”

Lunch will be served afterward, and all participants will receive a tote bag with gifts inside.

“As women, we are all beautifully and wonderfully made, and we are highly tal-ented and valuable,” Welliver said. “This is a time to recognize and celebrate that.”

To register, call the Seabee Chapel at 982-4358.

Women’s conference a time to ‘refresh the spirit’

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) and its tenant commands collected near-ly 9,500 pounds of food in this year’s Feds Feed Families food drive.

“It is very difficult to believe in hope when you are suffering from hunger, but each item donated brings with it comfort for today and hope for a better tomor-row,” said Lt. Lesa Welliver, staff chap-lain at NBVC. “I’m grateful for every

person who donated this year. Collec-tively, we made a huge difference in our community.”

The campaign began June 1 and ran through August.

Every year since 2009, the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture has organized the program, asking federal workers to give non-perishables during the three months of summer when contributions to the nation’s food banks typically dwindle.

In the last five years, federal workers have donated a total of 24.1 million pounds of food.

Ramona Pagel, fitness/wellness man-ager of Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme, is in London this month helping to coach U.S. competitors in the first-ever Invictus Games.

A brainchild of the United Kingdom’s Prince Harry, the games bring together 400 wounded, injured and sick military personnel from 13 nations whose armed forces have served alongside one anoth-er.

They will compete in nine sports: wheelchair basketball, sitting volleyball, wheelchair rugby, archery, indoor rowing, road cycling, powerlifting, swimming, and track and field.

The United States sent 100 athletes from all branches and 22 coaches. They held a rally in Washington, D.C., Friday,

Sept. 5, then flew to London the next day. Training began Sept. 8.

Opening ceremonies were scheduled for Sept. 10 in London’s Olympic Stadium, and closing ceremonies are slated for Sept. 14.

This isn’t Pagel’s first experience work-ing with wounded warriors. For several years, NBVC has served as a training site for the Navy team that competes in the Warrior Games, held each year in Colo-rado. That event pits wounded, injured and ill athletes from each of the U.S. armed forces against one another in para-lympic-style competitions.

In fact, according to the event’s web site, “Prince Harry was driven to bring the event to an international audience following his inspirational visit to the Warrior Games in Colorado in 2013.”

The chief petty officer community at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) came together at NBVC Port Hueneme last month to conduct a Chief Selectee Spouse Brief.

The Aug. 9 brief was to provide the spouses and family members of each chief selectee an opportunity to learn more about the CPO 365 Phase II pro-cess, as well as some Navy heritage and traditions within the Chief ’s Mess.

Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) Ventura County played host to the more than 150 chiefs, chief se-lectees and their families.

NOSC Ventura County Command Master Chief Tom Lintz introduced the brief. Topics ranged from the Master

Chief Petty Officer of the Navy’s mis-sion, vision and guiding principles of a chief petty officer to sleep depriva-tion, dehydration, command resources and social etiquette and protocol.

Guest speakers included NBVC Om-budsman Corey Kendrick; the com-manding officer of NOSC Ventura County, Capt. Thomas Long; and NBVC Command Master Chief Percy Trent.

“I would like to extend my personal congratulations to all the spouses in the room — you each played a significant role in your CPO selectee getting to this point in their career,” Long said. “This will be a busy time for the chief select-ees and there will be many demands put upon them, so time management will be critical. There will be more commit-

ments, more responsibilities and more expectations from the new chiefs.

“As the spouse of a chief, things may change a little, and you may get other spouses asking for advice or help. There are plenty of resources out there to

draw from when these questions come up, and those resources are going to be shared with you to better equip you moving forward.”

Calling it “the backbone of any unit,” Long said the Chief ’s Mess is “about leading Sailors to excellence.”

Each family was provided a copy of “Guidelines for the Spouses of Chief Petty Officers.”

“The selectees and their families re-ally appreciated the Chief ’s Mess com-ing together,” said Chief Builder (Se-lect) Thomas Friedlander. “It was an awesome opportunity for spouses to meet the chiefs from each command, but more importantly to meet other spouses and share information. This event was a great way to ensure families are connected to the process.”

Sailors from the Navy Operational Sup-port Center (NOSC) Ventura County joined local dignitaries in celebrating the life and history of our nation’s living war veterans during a Spirit of ‘45 event last month at Meadowbrook Senior Living, an assisted living and hospice care home in Agoura Hills.

Spirit of ‘45 commemorates the end of World War II 69 years ago and recogniz-es the generation of servicemen and wom-en who served during that war. They are the nation’s oldest veterans, and they were joined that day by veterans of the Korean and Vietnam wars.

VITAS Innovative Hospice Care ar-ranged the Aug. 12 visit at the assisted living center. The NOSC Ventura County color guard opened the event, its com-manding officer was the keynote speaker, and Lyndsey Hale, VITAS veterans com-munity liaison, was the master of ceremo-nies.

“We are honored to be here,” said Hale, also a military family descendent and Navy spouse. “It is important to honor

our flag, the symbol of the United States, and the veterans who served our nation. As a World War II veteran once told me, World War II was the last time a war was truly won. It is near and dear to my heart to make sure our veterans are honored properly at end of life. It is even more im-portant to me, however, to make sure our veterans are honored before that. The Spirit of ‘45 really is about preserving and remembering what our greatest generation went through to get us here.”

After the national anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance, Capt. Tom Long, commanding officer of NOSC Ventura County, talked about his grandfather’s service in World War II and the Korean War. His grandfather, he said, was on USS Canberra (CA-70), a Baltimore class cruiser that was torpedoed in October of 1944.

“We are here to honor, show our grati-tude, and connect with our greatest gen-eration of Americans,” he told the group. “Today is a day to honor and give appre-ciation to you for all you have done for our great country.”

Long said he was honored to have met many World War II veterans in his life-time.

“To me, all World War II veterans are heroes,” he said. “I often ask myself:Would I be able to do what they did? Without your sacrifice and those who gave the ultimate sacrifice, we would not be here.”

Long added that he knew the Sailors who were with him at the event would walk away “enriched by the his-tory in this room.”

Personnel Specialist 3rd Class Jeffery Riley said that’s exactly what hap-pened.

“It was a great honor to be in the presence of all who have served before me and to talk to the spouses of some of the greatest men who served,” he said. “Their stories were absolutely amazing and something that I will never forget.

Personnel Specialist 3rd

Class Ronnerick Rios, a member of the color guard, stayed after the ceremony to visit with the veterans and senior citizens.

“After talking and hear-ing their incredible stories of service, they reminded me why I chose to serve in the Navy,” he said.

The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAV-FAC EXWC) demonstrated energy-ef-ficient expeditionary tent camp facili-ties and light construction expeditionary equipment Aug. 12-13.

The two-day demonstration was a milestone in the development of stan-dard, tent camp capability sets for use with all Navy Expeditionary Table of Allowances (TOAs).

Attending were representatives from the Navy Expeditionary Combat Com-mand (NECC), Naval Beach Groups, Naval Special Warfare Command, Navy Expeditionary Medical Support Com-mand, and Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR).

“This event provided the Navy Expe-ditionary Enterprise their first hands-on exposure to NAVFAC proposed standardized capabilities,” said NAV-FAC EXWC’s commanding officer, Capt. Mark. K. Edelson. “The equip-ment displayed here is more energy ef-ficient than previous types and delivers

huge benefits to our nation’s warfight-ers through reductions in energy use and fuel consumption on the battle-field.”

The demonstration was part of a joint Naval Expeditionary Program Office (NEPO) and EXWC 2014 effort to re-design Combat Operation Center infra-structure under SPAWAR’s Navy En-terprise Tactical Command and Control capability directly supporting the NECC.

Batch laundry capabilities, redesigned weapons transport containers and light-weight water purification systems were among the items on display. Legacy configurations of the Fiscal Year 2015 standardization effort were also high-lighted, including multiple shower and latrine systems, energy-efficient Envi-ronment Control Units, Tactical Quiet Generators, power control panels, wa-ter and fuel systems including bladders and SIXCON’s (shipping containers).

NEPO and EXWC will gather feed-back and consider changes before im-plementation in the final TOA con-figurations.

A retired Seabee who was seriously injured in a Humvee accident in Iraq in 2004 and has since represented the Wounded Warrior community at several events will be honored Friday, Sept. 12, at the Seabee Museum.

Ben Host, who lives at Channel Islands Harbor, is being named Veteran of the Year at a 1 p.m. reception.

“I’m extremely honored,” Host said in a recent interview from the Chicago area, where he’s staying with his service dog, Gra-ham, as he works on his master’s degree in business administration.

Host spoke at the 2012 Wounded Warrior Half-Marathon at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu and was the featured speaker that same year at a War-rior-Family Symposium in Washington, D.C. At the time, he was working on his bachelor’s degree at Charter College in Oxnard.

He received his degree in business manage-ment and technology in March of this year, then entered Charter College’s MBA pro-gram in June.

With several relatives, including his wid-owed father, living outside Chicago, Host decided to move there while he works on his MBA.

“I’m very excited that at 31, I can spend time with my family,” he said. “I’ve been away for 12 years, and I felt this was the right time to take advantage of that opportuni-ty.”

He plans to return to Ventura County after he earns his degree.

Host was a construction electrician con-structionman with Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 4 when the right

side of his skull was shattered in the 2004 accident in Iraq. He has had three brain sur-geries, and his skull is held together by 23 screws.

When he returned to NBVC Port Huen-eme, Host was assigned to limited duty with the 31st Seabee Readiness Group. In 2008, he joined the Naval Facilities Expeditionary Logistics Center (NFELC), now Naval Fa-cilities Engineering and Expeditionary War-fare Center. His supervisor there was Dennis Rice, who remains a close friend.

“Ben is a young man who without a doubt has accomplished things beyond what he and everyone around him ever expected,” Rice says today. “After his life-threatening incident in Iraq, no one would have expected him to move on with such a deep desire to succeed. He is what we can all appreciate from our wounded veterans: They will never quit.”

Patrons of the U.S. Navy Seabee Mu-seum are invited to attend a free workshop, “Introduction to Digital Preservation,” Saturday, Sept. 13, from 1 to 2 p.m. in the museum’s education room.

The workshop, hosted by archivist Gina Nichols, is designed to inform attendees about the museum archiving process as technology introduces newer and more efficient ways of preserving often-delicate fragments of history.

“Today, most people, young and old, have some type of digital files,” said Nich-ols, who holds a master’s degree in his-tory from California State University

Northridge, specializing in U.S. history and archival management. “This class is designed to teach beginners the basics of digital preservation and the proper way to save digital files. We will explore digital archiving, explain how easy it is to safely archive personal materials, and stress the consequences of inaction and the threat of potential loss of valuable digital pos-sessions.”

For more information about the work-shop, call the museum at (805) 982-5165 or email [email protected].

The museum is located at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, behind Pass & ID at the Sunkist Gate on Ven-tura Road. Base access is not required.

AD1 Robert Palmer of Carrier Airborne Command and Control Squadron (VAW) 116 makes a meatball sandwich Monday, Aug. 11.

Stephanie Tagliaferri relaxes in her office after carting in several crockpots full of meatballs and Italian sauce into the E-2C hangar as a pre-deployment feast for VAW-116.


“The Meatball Lady” may have a new employer, but it won’t stop her from feed-ing the squadrons in Hawkeye Country at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu.

“I got it written into my contract that the company will pay for the meatballs at least twice a year,” Stephanie Tagliaferri said with a huge grin. “I think it’s pretty cool that at 65, I can still get something like that done.”

Several times a year, Tagliaferri, who’s responsible for the power systems in the E-2C aircraft hangar and on the flightline, makes between 250 and 300 meatballs from scratch and serves them, with buns and Italian tomato sauce, to the squad-rons.

She never announces her plans; she calls the project “Random Acts of Meat-balls.”

Her latest feast was Monday, Aug. 11, and it was for Carrier Airborne Command

and Control Squadron (VAW) 116.“This batch wasn’t quite 275,” she said.

“I ate a couple of them.”She paused.“Hey, I had to test them!”Tagliaferri started the project a decade

ago when she worked at the Fleet Readi-ness Center. She continued it when she moved to the squadrons five years ago, then her employer offered to pick up the cost. When a new company took over the hangar and flightline power systems ear-lier this year, she signed on with them — provided they’d pay for the meatball feasts.

Now it’s that company that foots the bill for the 40 pounds of hamburger, Ital-ian sauce, grated cheese and 240 rolls that go into each “random act.”

She’s also been known to bring in up to 100 bagels and cream cheese, trays of cookies and the occasional birthday cake.

Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Robert Palmer of VAW-116 first met Tagliaferri in 2006.

“She was doing this then, and it was all out-of-pocket,” he said as he dished up a plate Aug. 11. “It’s always so good. I haven’t been disappointed yet.”

He took a bite — and the Meatball Lady’s streak remained unbroken.

GUADALCANAL, Solomon Islands — In the midst of World War II, a tiny island in the South Pacific became a focal point of the campaign against Japan. The occupation of Guadalcanal from Aug. 7, 1942, to Feb. 9, 1943, cost the lives of many dedicated servicemen during some of the fiercest fight-ing in the Pacific.

Constant naval bombardment from both Allied and Japanese forces left the island littered with unexploded ordnance (UXO), and upon the end of the war, tons of ord-nance was either buried or jettisoned from naval vessels near the coastline.

In the years that followed, deaths due to the manipulation of UXO by the local population steadily increased, which sparked the need for increased containment efforts. The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit (RSIPF EOD) was subsequently created to deal with the removal and safe disposal of UXO.

Thanks to rigorous and persistent train-ing, RSIPF EOD successfully removed countless tons of UXO from Guadalcanal. However, they did not have the capability to deal with UXO that was underwater.

In response, the Solomon Islands govern-ment qualified 20 RSIPF EOD personnel as divers after they attended a basic SCUBA course. And through the Humanitarian Mine Action Program (HMA), Underwater Construction Team (UCT) 2 was tasked with providing dive technique expertise and equipment to these 20 divers.

UCT 2 spent more than three grueling weeks this summer training with the RSIPF, covering topics such as physical fitness, ba-sic SCUBA techniques, emergency proce-dures, diving physics, diving medicine, ca-sualty management, basic first aid, CPR, dive supervisor training and preventive maintenance.

“The importance of this mission could not have been overstated,” said Construction Electrician Chief Terence Juergens, the of-ficer in charge for Construction Diving De-tachment Charlie (CDD/C). “Diving is inherently dangerous, especially when you add the element of underwater UXO. We all realized that we had to deliver the high-est level of training.”

That training consisted of more than 40 hours in the classroom, followed by the in-water portion on the neighboring island of Tulagi. This location allowed uninterrupted dive training, from mask, fins and snorkel familiarization to more advanced topics, such as how to rescue a stricken diver at

depth. In addition, because physical fitness has

a direct correlation to diving safety — espe-cially when divers are dealing with tidal cur-rents and wave swell — UCT 2 personnel and RSIPF EOD divers conducted two hours of physical training every morning.

“This was a new aspect for them; we had to start very slowly, said Utilitiesman 2nd Class Erick Martin, lead physical training coordinator. “But by the end, they realized the importance of good physical fitness.”

Another major challenge of the mission was to develop and purchase a full comple-ment of diving and support equipment for the RSIPF EOD, as well as getting it from Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme to the Solomon Islands.

“This was not easy,” said Builder 2nd

Class Joshua Knolla, a lead diver for CDD/C. “We had to get boats, motors, SCUBA gear, medical gear and 20 sets of personal dive gear. We had to get it all purchased, delivered, organized and packed into con-tainers for its journey.”

The training exercise culminated in an emotional ceremony where RSIPF EOD divers received certificates of completion and Juergens presented two RSIPF stand-outs with diver coins.

The Solomon Islands was CDD/C’s last stop on a six-month deployment in support of the Pacific Fleet. The deployment spanned five countries and 20,000 miles. CDD/C conducted inspection, maintenance and repair of various underwater and waterfront facilities and participated in four Pacific Fleet exercises.

Computers, fax machines, copiers, scanners, shredders: You need it, we’ve got it!

If you need to take care of business onboard Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), try your local Fleet & Family Support Center.

The NBVC Port Hueneme and Point Mugu FFSCs have resource labs avail-able for use. If you are active duty, a dependent, a Reservist, retired or a De-partment of Defense (DoD) employee, you are welcome to use our facilities.

The most utilized resource we offer is our computers. They’re such a popu-lar resource that you may even find yourself waiting in line to use them, as our active duty personnel in uniform always have priority.

The NBVC Port Hueneme FFSC is equipped with the Navy Go Wi-Fi com-

puter system. These non-NMCI ma-chines have built-in Common Access Card (CAC) readers, so you can still access sites that require the security certificates held on your CAC, like NKO. A big benefit of the system is that spouses and dependents without

a CAC can also use this lab. CACs are not required to log in to the Go Wi-Fi network — a user name and password are all you need. The printer in this lab is an all-in-one and features a digital scanner, which can convert your hard copies into PDFs and email the file to the person of your choosing. One ad-ditional benefit to the system is that it’s Wi-Fi, so if the lab is full, you can bring your laptop and work from a comfort-able chair in the lobby. (Please note that printing is not available from personal devices connected to the Wi-Fi).

The NBVC Point Mugu FFSC is equipped with NMCI computers and a networked printer. This means that the computers require each user to have a Common Access Card (CAC). If you are a spouse or dependent at NBVC Point Mugu and you are in need of

computer access, we suggest that you check out the Flightline Café or Lin-coln Military Housing’s Community Center. Anyone using the printers at either of these facilities is asked to please refrain from printing large doc-uments.

Your FFSCs also have fax machines, scanners, copy machines, and paper shredders available for use at no charge. Facilities are open Monday through Friday. Please call or stop by for current hours of operation.

The Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) Mobile Utilities Support Equip-ment (MUSE) division completed vital power upgrades at Camp Lemonnier, Dji-bouti, last month.

A team of four Seabee MUSE techni-cians inspected and installed 10 700-kilo-watt power plants and two fused discon-nect switches during their Aug. 12 visit.

The power plants and new switches will provide power to the electrical grid during switching operations.

The 10 power plants will provide an ad-ditional seven megawatts, along with 11 megawatts of prime power generation al-ready in place, comprising 40 percent of total electrical production capacity at the camp.

The team installed two transformers, increasing the mega volt amp (MVA) ca-pability by five MVA.

NBVC Point Mugu Wednesday, Aug. 27. Carrying sand and stones, the waves blocked access to the Chiefs Cabin and Flag Bridge cot-tages on The Point. Surfer’s and Family beaches were closed and people kept out of the water as waves pounded the beach through Friday, Aug. 29.

Sand and debris were cleared from Beach Road Friday morning,

allowing Family Beach to reopen for the Labor Day weekend. Surf-er’s Beach was opened later Friday afternoon, although continued high surf forced an evening closure over the weekend.

At Point Mugu, storm-driven beach erosion took nearly five feet of sand near the eastern boundary fence and eroded beachfronts near the firing range and Family Beach. Additionally, Bldg. 761, located closest to the breached shore pro-

tection, took on water, damaging doors leading to mechanical rooms.

The seawall revetment was also damaged and will require re-pairs.

At San Nicolas Island, nearly six feet of sand was lost along the north side of the island. Brine dis-charge lines from the reverse os-mosis plant, which creates potable water for the island, were also damaged during the storm.

respond despite the power out-age. The Navy Exchange and commissary may adjust their afternoon hours during the outage.

Please consider the following tips to further reduce impacts and stay safe during the power outage:

• Get flashlights, batteries, candles, etc. ready ahead of time in the chance that the out-age extends past sunset.

• Turn refrigerators and freez-ers to a colder setting prior to the outage and keep the doors to those appliances closed throughout the outage.

• Add water, juice, soda or other liquids to the refrigerator ahead of time to hold the cool temperatures inside the refrig-erator longer.

• Keep a cooler filled with ice, drinks, lunchmeat, etc.

• Charge cell phones, tablets

and computers in advance. Cable and Internet service will be down.

• Turn off lights, TVs and ap-pliances beforehand and unplug sensitive electronics to prevent surge damage once power is restored.

• Use extreme caution when using alternative heating or cooking sources. Never use camp stoves, charcoal-burning grills, or propane or kerosene heaters indoors. Do not use a gas stove or oven to heat the house. All pose a risk of fire and carbon monoxide poison-ing. Many carbon monoxide detectors plug into outlets and therefore will not function dur-ing the power outage.

• If using a portable genera-tor, plug appliances into the generator. Generators also pro-duce deadly carbon monoxide, so be careful when placing them. Never refuel the genera-tor while it is running.

Storms keep nBVc Point mugu on alert

Naval Facilities Engineering Command Southwest awarded a $292,000 contract Sept. 5 to Chi-cago Bridge & Iron Company (CB&I) to perform a survey on San Miguel Island to assess risk from legacy ordnance.

San Miguel Island, located within the Channel Islands Na-tional Park, was closed to visitor

access by the Navy in April due to concerns regarding the possible presence of unexploded ordnance on the island. The risk assessment will allow the Navy to make a determination regarding restoring public access to the site.

“Public safety is our number one concern,” said Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding officer of

Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC); San Miguel Island is a special site assigned to NBVC. “Closing the island to the public was a difficult decision, but it was the right decision. Our goal is to restore access to the island as soon as is safely possible, and awarding this contract is a major step in that direction.”

Anna Esguerra, general manager of the NEX Port Hueneme, said the bank’s lease was due to expire in November.

“The regional office decided to do away with the physical site and concentrate more on online banking services,” she said.

Esguerra said the space will become an “optical gallery,” an expanded version of the optical shop now in the main store.

“We are in the planning stages,” she said. “It will enable us to offer a larger selection of eyeglasses, contact lenses and other optical-related services.”

She said the gallery could open as early as Spring of 2015.

Esguerra also said she is hiring four people in the NEX accounting department to take on the tasks that the bank had performed for the store, including cash cage services.

Jeanne Billiot, director of the Navy-Ma-rine Corps Relief Society, which provides emergency loans and financial advice to

active-duty service members, said she’ll miss the Armed Forces Bank’s presence on base.

“It’s sad to see them close,” she said. “They’ve been a great partner in the ser-vices they provide for our clients.”

Billiot urged Armed Forces Bank cus-tomers to carefully consider all aspects of banking — not just convenience — if they’re considering a change.

“Our recommendation would be to choose a bank that has the least amount of fees and to research the fee schedule of any new account they might open,” she said. “There are many financial institu-tions that offer free account services for military members.”

Armed Forces Bank, which has been serving active-duty and retired military and civilian customers since 1907, is owned by Dickinson Financial Corporation, which has corporate headquarters in Kan-sas City, Missouri.

Armed Forces Bank has locations all across the country.

public works officer, “but it can be ad-dressed.”

Residents and grounds maintenance contractors are asked to follow watering recommendations that include watering a maximum of three days a week through October and two days a week November through March. Watering should not occur during rain events or between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. and should not exceed 15 minutes at a time.

Puddling and runoff are signs of over-watering and could indicate that sprin-kler systems are not properly adjusted or are broken.

Restrictions on hosing down hard sur-faces and limitations on car washing are also included in the guidance. Although permitted, car washing or car wash fund-

raisers should use hand-held buckets and hoses with self-closing nozzles to prevent unnecessary water loss.

Anyone who discovers a broken, leak-ing or malfunctioning water system — like a sprinkler, toilet or faucet — should immediately report the problem to their facility manager, the NBVC Public Works service desk at 989-8888 or 982-2222, or Lincoln Military Housing at 888-578-4141.

“We pride ourselves on being good neighbors,” Vasquez said. “Doing our part to reduce water consumption dur-ing the drought is the right thing to do.”

For more water conservation tips and news, visit saveourwater.com, a partner-ship between the Association of Cali-fornia Water Agencies and the Califor-nia Department of Water Resources.

In light of the current drought, Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) facilities at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) have taken steps to conserve water in some of its highest-use areas.

Port Hueneme• Stinger’s Fields: Reduced watering to

two times a week between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.

• Bolles Field and picnic area: Reduced watering to two times a week between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.

• Golf Course: Eliminated one day of watering per week.

• Bee-Hive synthetic field: Dust control reduced to biweekly between 8 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Point Mugu• Picnic Pavilion, running track and soc-

cer fields: Watered manually to prevent overwatering.

• Softball Fields 1 and 2: Controlled by Naval Facilities Automating Meter Instru-ments programming.

MWR also cuts back water use

Water being conserved on baseCONTINUED FROM 1

• Avoid the permanent press cycle on the washing machine, as it adds 5 gallons for the extra rinse. For partial loads, adjust water levels to match the size of the load.

• Replace old clothes washers. New En-ergyStar-rated washers use 35 to 50 per-cent less water and 50 percent less energy per load. Consider buying a water-saving frontload washer.

• Minimize use of kitchen sink garbage disposal units. In-sink “garburators” re-quire lots of water to operate properly, and they add considerably to the volume of solids in a septic tank, which can lead to maintenance problems. Start a compost pile as an alternate method of disposing food waste.

• When washing dishes by hand, don’t

leave the water running for rinsing. If you have a double basin, fill one with soapy water and one with rinse water. If you have a single-basin sink, gather washed dishes in a dish rack and rinse them with a spray device or a pan full of hot water. Dual-swivel aerators are available to make this easier. If you use a dishwasher, there is usually no need to pre-rinse the dishes.

• Don’t let the faucet run while you clean vegetables. Just rinse them in a stoppered sink or a pan of clean water. Use a dual-setting aerator.

— For more information on these and other water- and energy-saving ideas, con-tact A. Peter Shack, Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) resource efficiency man-ager, at 805-982-2842.

anywhere.”Instead, he’s in a job he likes,

and he’s earning more money than he’d anticipated.

“I’m happy,” he said. “I plan to stay with them for some time.”

The Fleet & Family Support Center (FFSC) is hosting the Sept. 17 career fair in the Bee-Hive Gym at NBVC Port Hue-neme. It runs from 9 a.m. to noon and is open to anyone with base access. More than 75 employers and educational institutions will be attending.

This is the second career fair of the year; Oliphant attended the one in April. He’d retired the previous September after a 20-year career in the Navy, which he’d joined right after high school. He found himself apply-ing for jobs for the first time in his life — at the age of 39.

“I was a bit nervous,” he said.

In the Transition Assistance Program (TAP), Oliphant had learned that the career path he was choosing would be rocky. A builder first-class, he wanted to go into computer science, a field that meshed easily with his hob-by, but not with the skills he’d acquired in the military.

“I built my first PC from scratch in 1995 and have been doing that ever since,” he ex-plained. “The field of computer hardware is an area that interests me. It calls to me.”

But he had no illusions.“I expected that life would be

difficult for awhile,” he said.And it was.He found work through temp

agencies and got a part-time job at a local department store just in time for Black Friday — “I remember it quite well,” he said.

He checked in frequently with the FFSC and career fair orga-nizers. They turned him on to one job that required a security clearance, which he had.

“A worker had fallen ill, and this company needed someone

immediately, so they called the FFSC,” Oliphant recalled. “The FFSC called me, I came down and did the interview right there in the FFSC office.”

He held that job until the reg-ular employee could return to work.

In February, he began prepar-ing for the April career fair.

He prepared three resumes — two that stressed different job skills and one that was more ge-neric.

He carried around electronic versions so he could email them to prospective employers wher-ever he met them, elevators in-cluded. He did the same with all relevant documents, including his honorable discharge and a list of major awards.

He attended several FFSC classes designed to help job-seek-ers. In addition to a resume-preparation class, he took class-es on the federal job search and on LinkedIn, a professional net-working site.

At the career fair, Oliphant worked his way around the room, remembering what he’d learned in TAP class: Create a strong presence and make a good show-ing.

The last booth he visited was a contracting service.

“I asked what was available, but there was nothing in my skill set,” he said. “I was thinking of moving on, and he asked for my resume. I picked the most ge-neric of the three, he looked it over, and he asked me some ques-tions.”

Then the employer explained that he had a job he needed to fill but it hadn’t been advertised yet.

“‘You might be a good fit for that,’” he told me. “‘Do you mind if we keep your resume?’”

A week and a half later, Oliph-ant got the call for an interview. A couple of days later, he was hired.

It’s not computer science, and it’s not a field Oliphant ever imagined for himself. But he’s enjoying it, and the experience taught him this lesson for future

career fair attendees:“Even though you don’t see a

job fitting your description, take the extra time and build a rap-port,” he said. “They’re going to know things you don’t about fu-ture job openings. Make that connection.”


Elton Oliphant found permanent employment through the April career fair held on base.

Here’s some advice from Elton Oliphant, who got a job through the most recent career fair at Naval Base Ventura County:

• “Pay attention in TAP class and employ the skills you learn.”

• Keep an open mind at the career fair. “Realize that the people there have an-other list of jobs they’re not advertising but that they know will be coming open.”

• Take the time to build a connection. “Make yourself a memory, not just a face.”

• Have more than one re-sume, and make sure each one stresses different skill sets. “Then have non-vested people read it.”

• Be patient. “Go out there every day and fight that fight.”

• Realize that it may take six to 18 months to get a good job. “You’ve got to do more than just pay the bills. You’ve got to be doing some-thing you enjoy. Find what inspires you and work to-ward that.”
