Question: There seemed to be more mosquitoesthis year, and fleas too. Mosquitoes can carry dis-ease. Is there any way we can get housing to sprayour yards for these insects since we pay rent?

Answer: Mosquitoes and fleas are a commonnuisance in summer and fall. We have 22 differentspecies of mosquitoes here at Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC), partly because of the extensiveprotected wetlands at Point Mugu. Saltwater mos-quitoes, which make up the bulk of the mosquitoeswe get at NBVC Point Mugu, are luckily not disease-bearing, just annoying! Freshwater mosquitoes canspread disease, and there are several ways to deterthem, starting with wearing repellant when you areoutdoors and cleaning up any standing pools ofwater around your home.We monitor standing water in the wetlands and

employ abatement efforts using long-lasting bri-quettes and larvicides whenever possible. In housingareas, groundskeepers do a great job of cleaning upstanding fresh water and monitoring for larval activ-ity. You can help by making sure your yard doesn’thave any breeding areas for the insects, such as oldbirdbaths or water pooled on tarps or other outdoorcovers. There was a great article in the Aug. 22 edi-tion of The Lighthouse that covered many tips andtricks for helping reduce mosquito activity.Fleas are another matter. Housing does not spray

yards for fleas because the choice to have a pet is anindividual one, and flea abatement and control is thepet owner’s responsibility. As a dog owner, I under-stand the frustration of finding fleas on your pet. Ifyour usual flea treatments aren’t working, I’d recom-mend talking to your veterinarian about alternatives,but housing will not take responsibility for sprayingyards for fleas.

Can yards be sprayed for mosquitoes, fleas?

Hundreds of people stopped by the 2013Open SeasonHealthFairs held Wednesday, Nov. 7, in Bldg. 366 at Naval Base Ven-tura County (NBVC) Point Mugu, and the next day in Duke’sPlace at NBVC Port Hueneme.About two dozen healthcare providers were on hand to answer

questions about health benefits and to provide such services asbody fat testing and even a free massage.“This is the chance clients have to speak to an actual pro-

vider and get straight answers to questions about their healthinsurance,” said Rebecca Coronado, who organized the Huen-eme event for the Human Resources Office.One trend she has noticed in recent years is a large number

of questions about Medicare.“Somany baby boomers are retiring or getting ready to retire,”

she said. “There are so many different plans out there. Thepeople here can provide answers.”Christopher Lujan, an electronics engineer with the Naval

SurfaceWarfare Center Port HuenemeDivision said he stoppedby the event at Duke’s to check the different plans and see if hewanted to change anything this year.He also got his body fat checked and was pleased with the

result.Meanwhile James Estes, a mechanical engineer with the Na-

val Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center,took advantage of the opportunity to get a free massage, cour-tesy of Kaelyn Curran, a massage therapist with Morale, Wel-fare and Recreation.Coronado said more than 300 people attended the first hour

of the event at Hueneme, about the same number as attendedthe Mugu health fair the day before.

Counting the tiles on the floor as youtake a walk with your child, encouragingyour elementary school-age child to try anew computer software program, or al-lowing your teenager to help with thehousehold budget are all ways to build anappreciation of science, technology, engi-neering and math.By doing these things, you may be bol-

stering your children’s chances of successin their future careers.The National Science Foundation esti-

mates that 80 percent of jobs created inthe next decade will require some form ofmath and science. For this reason, manyschools and businesses are focusing moretime, energy and money on the fields ofscience, technology, engineering andmath-ematics — STEM.In recent years, there has been a sig-

nificant decline in the number of collegestudents choosing majors in science ortechnology-related fields.Much of this hasto do with poor preparation for the class-es during high school and the intense workrequired outside of the lecture setting— inplaces like laboratories. Experts say stu-dents have chosen easier majors and

courses of study instead of taking on thefields that they want to enter due to poorpreparedness.The decision to study a STEM-related

major is usually made towards the end ofhigh school. However, it is much earlierthat a student gains or possibly loses aninterest in science, technology, engineeringor mathematics.Children are born to be natural scien-

tists. They are curious and inquisitive.Most preschool classrooms are filled withblocks, puzzles, shapes and matchinggames. This is STEM— and it’s fun.

As students grow older, all schoolworkbecomes more challenging. STEM sub-jects may become even more challengingthan most. At this point, in late elemen-tary and middle school, a student’s inter-est in STEM subjects begins to wane. Thisis when parents and educators need to stepin to encourage and find fun ways to keepstudents interested.From block-building as a preschooler

to rebuilding an engine as a teenager, mathand science can be enjoyable — and edu-cational. While schools are refocusing toinclude more STEM in their curriculum,families can findways to encourage STEMat home as well.Spending time with children piecing

puzzles together, discussing how familiescan improve recycling efforts or experi-menting with recipes in the kitchen arejust a few examples of how families canencourage STEM efforts at home.Discussing how science, technology,

engineering and mathematics play such agreat role in our lives will also keep stu-dents interested. When they see that theyare surrounded by these subjects, their

natural instinct will be to askquestions, especially when it’s notseen as “work.”At home, science projects, build-

ing small wood projects and bud-geting for a family trip are ex-amples of how parents can keepstudents interested.Additionally, keeping in contact

with your child’s school to learnhow they are encouraging an in-terest in math and science maygive you even more ideas of howyou can support your child’slearning. Parents who have build-ing skills or cooking skills canoffer their time and expertise tosupport their own children as wellas many other students.Many local schools and agen-

cies are supporting STEM pro-grams. Be on the lookout for suchevents.Recently, California State Uni-

versity Channel Islands coordi-

nated a Science Carnival that at-tracted hundreds of children. Thegoal of the event was to reach outto students in kindergartenthrough eighth grade and keepthem interested in science. Localprofessionals in the science field— even some Navy folks — tookpart in many of the activities. It’san annual event, and next year’sScience Carnival promises to bejust as exciting.Until then, begin researching

ideas for science projects. Mostschools will begin science fairprojects in January. Be prepared— especially now that you knowhow important it is to supportSTEM.

— For any questions regardinghow parents can support science,technology, engineering or mathat home, please contact the NavalBase Ventura County school liaisonofficer at 805-989-5211 or emailher at monica.james@navy.mil.

Personalities intermingle during familygatherings, just as blending aromas of ourfavorite meals fill the home with holidayfragrance. Those personalities can involveextroverts and introverts, peoplewhose firstpreference is to think, andpeoplewhose firstpreference is to feel.Extroverts receive their needed energy

from theworld around them. Introverts, onthe other hand, often feel energized afterhaving downtime.Introvertsmay appear very talkative, but

their conversation usually blossoms aroundpeople they know or when discussing sub-jects familiar to them. Their need for seclu-sion may be strong, and they may actuallydevelopmilddepression symptoms if forbid-den to enjoy solitude over extended periodsof time.Extroverts may often embrace the holi-

days with cheer and excitement. Introvertsmayhavemixedemotions, sometimesprefer-ring tokeep socializing toaminimum.Theirpreference is the small gathering of closerelatives, as opposed to the large reunion ofextended relatives they might not know.The dichotomyof thinking versus feeling

impacts theblendingof familymembers themost. Those who choose thinking oftenseem direct, logical and blunt when correc-tionsneed tobemade.Theyultimately solve

problems first and consider feelings second-ary.Thepeoplewhoprefer feelingsmakemost

decisions based on their values or how theyfeel about a situation. These types of indi-viduals are great for making sure that allfamily members receive hospitality, but of-ten their feelingsmay get hurt by trying toohard to accommodate others. They takeinsensitivity to emotions very seriously.Let’s say something goes wrong in the

kitchen. The oven timer was not set, andAuntie’s favorite green bean casserolemeltsinto a steamy-hot material that could paveroads.Thosewhoprefer thinking automatically

consider the obvious fact: Someone shouldhave set the timer. Quickly they will get up,

open thewindowandunplug the screamingsmoke alarm—theywill solve the problem.They do not notice or intend to offend oth-ers; they simply live to identify and solveproblems. The emotions involved in situa-tions like this usually do not grab their at-tention.Peoplewith a preference for feeling auto-

matically have compassion for Auntie andimmediately seek to console her by assuringeveryone there is plenty of food. Better yet,they will encourage her to remake the dish,even offering to help her and turn the disas-ter into a joyous activity they can do to-gether.This createsharmonyand teamwork.Feeling types need to connect, and this goalexists in virtually everything they do withothers.Our personalities develop unintention-

ally, the same way as we choose our domi-nant hand. No one remembers deciding towrite with a right hand instead of the left,yet at some point that became normal. Per-sonality preferences evolve the same way.Weaccomplishmorebyusingbothhands,

and we benefit from learning the skills ofother personality types.On that note, I urge you to enjoy your

timewith family over the holidays and learnfrom the differences in personalities aroundyou. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Several people on Facebook are doing“I’m thankful for…” posts each day ofNovember until Thanksgiving. Mostpeople are thankful for family, friends,careers, and of course, our military. Ichallenge you to find ways to show yourthankfulness all year. It is important toremember to “pay it forward.”The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Soci-

ety (NMCRS) is thankful for its volun-teers and “pays it forward” by providingbudgetary and financial assistance to themilitary community throughout theyear.Have you been to the NMCRS Thrift

Store? Located in Building 829, near thecorner of Harris and 15th at Naval BaseVentura County, Port Hueneme, it car-ries everything from clothing and house-hold goods to sporting goods, books,movies and uniforms.As you know, the East Coast was re-

cently ravaged by Superstorm Sandy.“We know people who lost every-

thing,” said Morgan Francis, whose hus-band is Equipment Operator 3rd ClassDillon Francis of Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion (NMCB) 4. “Theyhave an 8-year-old boy with autism, andhe’s lost all his toys. I’m getting stuff tosend to them and to their school dis-trict.”The NMCRS Thrift Store, managed

by volunteer Mary Wilson, averages

about 300 walk-in customers per week.That’s 1,200 per month. There are 15volunteers working throughout the week— adding up to thousands of volunteerhours — cleaning donated items, check-ing for product recalls and doing inven-tory, pricing, storage, display, advertis-ing, administration and officemaintenance and serving as cashier.Looking for something specific? Ask

a volunteer. They know their inventory!There are baby clothes for 25 cents,DVDs and movies for less than one dol-lar. Everything is right within the mili-tary family budget.Builder 3rd Class Eduardo Sanchez

of NMCB 5 was buying clothes for his4-year-old son and a baby due inMarch.“We just checked yesterday and found

out it’s a boy,” he said, beaming. Hispurchase included shoes, pants, shirts,sweatshirts, even onesies — nearly ev-erything green.“Green’s my favorite color,” he said.And while he took home green, he

didn’t leave much behind. All thoseclothes totaled $16.25, less than what hewould have paid for the one pair of Wee-boks.Sanchez said he discovered the thrift

store when he came to buy a uniform.“It was really well-priced, so I came

back,” he explained. “It’s really goodthat they have something like this.”So how can you pay it forward? Re-

member the NMCRS Thrift Store whenyou are planning a move. Donate yourunwanted or unused items. Shop thethrift store for stocking stuffers andholiday gifts. Save money by shoppingfor yourself, and stock your bank ac-count with extra cash!Have questions or interested in volun-

teering? Call the NMCRS office at 805-982-4409.

Naval Mobile ConstructionBattalion (NMCB) 4’s chaplain,Lt. BaronMiller, has always prid-ed himself on his creativity andindividuality.Sowhen it came time to host an

event for Suicide Prevention andAwareness Month, he decided toforgo the typical PowerPoint pre-sentation in an overcrowded the-ater and host a picnic in a nearbypark.“Wewanted to present our con-

tent in a relaxed forumwith plen-ty of breathing room,” explainedMiller. “Suicide is such an uncon-ventional and complex problem,and the usual training methodol-ogy would not have hit themark.”Given that there is no Navy-

mandated training for SuicideAwareness andPreventionMonth,Miller and the battalion’s embed-dedmental health provider, Rich-ard Zaler, had some flexibility.

With the support of NMCB 4’scommandingofficer,Cmdr. JeffreyKilian, theywere able to do some-thing totally outside the box.The result was a civilian-attire

picnic on the afternoon of Oct. 4,right before the battalion’sColum-bus Day liberty. After letting thebattalion enjoy the sun and the hot

dogs cooked by the battalion’schiefs’mess,Miller kicked off theevent by talking about how suicideaffects young people across thecountry.Zaler brought a more clinical

view to the subject and explainedwhy individuals are driven towardsuicide and how their mind can

justify the act.The last presenters wereMaster

Chief Utilities ConstructionmanMichael Dianni and Chief Build-er Patrick Maldonado, who gavea heart-wrenching account of los-ing a Sailor to suicide at one oftheir previous commands.“As a young Sailor new to the

Navy, it’s very reassuring to knowthat the command cares so muchabout our well-being,” said oneparticipant. “If I ever need to talkabout an issue or feel concernedabout one of my shipmates, Iknow where I can go and how tohandle the situation.”Those affirmative results made

a lasting impression on the com-mand leadership, especiallyKilian.“Wewill continue to look at this

format for new training opportu-nities,”he said. “Topics like suicideawareness and sexual assault pre-vention aren’t necessarily ones thatlike to be talked about, sowewantto continue that relaxed forum.”

Lt. Baron Miller, chaplain for Naval Mobile Construction Battalion4, uses an informal atmosphere to discuss difficult topics such assuicide.

Tragically, 36,000 lives arelost to suicide each year in theUnited States. Everyone is dif-ferent, but according to Tri-West Healthcare Alliance,common warning signs in-clude talking about wantingto die or feelings of hopeless-ness, talking about feelingtrapped or being in unbear-able pain, increasing the useof alcohol or drugs and with-drawal or isolation.If you are concerned about

someone, here are some plac-es to go for help:• Military Crisis Line is

The Golden Hawks of Carrier Air-borne Early Warning Squadron (VAW)112 have spent the last month support-ing Operation Enduring Freedom in theNorth Arabian Sea.Based at Naval Base Ventura County,

Point Mugu, the squadron is deployedon the USS John C. Stennis (CVN-74)and is expected to remain there for thenext eight to 10 months in support ofFifth Fleet objectives in the Gulf re-gion.Just six months ago, VAW-112 was

in the same location, supporting U.S.ground troops in Afghanistan. Duringthat deployment, the Golden Hawksclosed out Operation New Dawn byflying the last naval aircraft from Iraqon Dec. 18, 2011, effectively endingcombat operations after 21 years inIraq.During their one-and-a-half-month

transit west, VAW-112 visited ports inKota Kinabalu, Malaysia, and Phuket,Thailand. After conducting diplomat-ic missions and receiving a little rest

and relaxation, the Golden Hawks wereagain ready to support Operation En-during Freedom.

To prepare for this mission set, thesquadron’s maintenance departmenthas been working around the clock to

get their four E-2C Hawkeye aircraftready. Despite aircraft transfers, longworking hours and their acceleratedturnaround schedule, the GoldenHawks were able to launch and support100 percent of their mission sorties.Often called “quarterback of the

As Thanksgiving nears, it’s time to re-mind all Naval Base Ventura Countypersonnel that in accordance with regula-tions and by recommendation of theNational Fire Protection Association, theAmerican Burn Institute and Underwrit-ers Laboratories Inc., turkey fryers areprohibited on Navy Region Southwestgovernment facilities, Navy housing ex-cluded.Experts recommend that consumers

who choose to fry turkeys at home followthese safety guidelines:• Keep the fryer in full view while the

burner is on.• Place the fryer in an open area away

from all walls, fences and other struc-tures.• Never use a fryer in, on or under a

garage, breezeway or any structure thatcan catch fire.• Make sure there is at least 2 feet of

space between the propane tank andfryer burner.

• Center the pot over the burner on thecooker.• Check the oil temperature frequent-

ly.• If oil begins to smoke, immediately

turn the gas supply off.• Raise and lower food slowly to reduce

splatter and avoid burns.• Cover bare skin with well-insulated

potholders or oven mitts when removingor adding food.• Completely thaw and dry turkey be-

fore cooking. Partially frozen and/or wetturkeys can produce excessive hot oilsplatter when added to oil.• Never leave the fryer unattended.• Never let children or pets near the

fryer when in use.• If a fire occurs, immediately call 9-1-

1. Do not use water on a grease fire.Whileawaiting the fire department’s arrival, anall-purpose fire extinguisher can be usedif you have one ready and know how touse it.

Turkey fryers banned fromNBVC except in housing

Seeing pink as you’re slicing into yourbeautifullybrownedholiday turkey is enoughto strike fear into the heart of any cook, nomatter how experienced. Follow these fewtips fromthe commissary toavoid that scenethis holiday season.First,make sure your turkey is completely

thawedbeforeprepping it for theoven.Thawin the refrigerator on a tray to catch anyjuices, and allow five hours per pound tocomplete the thawingprocess.Dependingonsize, this can take from two to five days. Tospeed thingsupabit, remove thegibletpack-et andneck from inside the turkey and thawthem separately. Be sure to check both thebody cavity and the neck cavity for these— sometimes they are stored in two pack-ets.If time is short, leave the turkey in its

original wrapper, place breast side down ina large container and cover completely withcold water. Change the water every 30 min-utesandallowanhourperpoundtotal thaw-ing time.If youdon’townaninstant-readthermom-

eter, put that at the top of your commissary

shopping list. An oven-safe thermometerworks, too, but it is simply not possible tojudge doneness without one or the other.While you’re preparing the turkey for theoven, take note of its anatomy so you’ll beable to insert the thermometer properly.Lift the leg and feel along the thigh tohelp

visualize how deeply into the interior thethighmeets thebody. Insert the thermometerinto the thickestpartof the thigh justbeneath— but not touching — the bone, reachingall thewaydown to the joint. Take note thatthe breastbone runs through the center ofthe breast from the neck to the body cavity.To test the breastmeat, insert the thermom-eter parallel to the breastbone deep into theneck end of the breast where the meat isthickest.The breast is perfectly cooked when the

thermometer reaches between 160 and 165degrees. But the leg is a different story. At170 degrees, the leg meat is safe to eat butwill be firm and have a ruddy glow, with thethigh meat slightly stiff and pinkish. If youprefer not even a trace of pink, continue toroast to a temperature of 180. Just acceptthat thebreastmeatwill beoverdone, andbesure to offer plenty of good-tasting gravy.

A Marine whose call sign is“Chef” took first place in theFirst Annual Chili Cookoff at theNaval Base Ventura County(NBVC) Port Hueneme commis-sary, defeating the five other con-testants that included his wife anda culinary specialist who used toprepare meals for Vice PresidentJoe Biden.Capt. BradErdel of theMarine

Aviation Detachment at NBVCPointMugu won theWednesday,Nov. 7, competition with “OurFavorite Chili,” a recipe that in-cluded, among other ingredients,homemade chili paste, steak,cornmeal and a bottle of beer.The five judges — four active-

duty Sailors and an Army foodinspector — ranked his recipehigher than his wife’s, but shedidn’t mind.“I’m not surprised; I’m very

proud of him,”Rachel Erdel said.“He actually does most of the

cooking when he’s home. Theonly thing I knew how to makebefore I met him was reserva-tions.”The chili cookoff is the brain-

child of the commissary’s newdirector, VelmaSiler, whobroughtthe idea from Naval Air StationCorpus Christi, Texas. A bakeoffis in the planning stages for nextmonth.“It’s for our Sailors,” she said.

“It brings some excitement to thecommissary.”The second-place finisher was

BobbieWah, who won for “Bob-bie’s Gut-Busting Chili.” Herhusband, ConstructionMechan-ic 2nd ClassMauriceWah of the31st Seabee Readiness Group,helped serve the chili to the judg-es as his wife divulged the secretingredient: tequila.Finishing third was Culinary

Specialist 1st Class ShawnaMay-er, whose most recent tour ofduty was the kitchen of the vicepresident’s home inWashington,

D.C. Before that, she preparedmeals for then-Gen. David Pe-traeus and before that, formerDefense SecretaryDonaldRums-feld.Mayer, who is on terminal leave

and is expecting her first child inMarch, prepared two recipes. Thefirst was Black Mountain SpicyItalian Sausage Chili with MiniCorn BreadMuffins with Roast-ed Corn and Pepper Jack Cheese.The second, which won thirdplace, was Hunter Creek WhiteChicken Chili with Mini CornBread Muffins with SmokedGouda and Crumbled Bacon.But no one could beat Erdel, a

culinary school graduate whoentered themilitary after a careeras a professional chef, workingat, amongother places, theMGMGrand in Las Vegas.“I grew up in theMidwest, and

fall to me means football, applecider and chili,” he said. “It’scomfort food.”The top three finishers took

home $75, $50 and $25 commis-sary gift certificates, respective-ly.NBVC Command Master

Chief Thomas Cyr had highpraise for all the dishes hejudged.“They’re all very good,”he said

after the final tastings. “I’d sitdown and have a bowl of any ofthem. Very nice.”The other judges were Army

Spec. Jose Marrero, the food in-spector; Senior Chief BuilderCharles Luna of Naval MobileConstruction Battalion (NMCB)

5; Chief Steelworker JamesMathews of Naval Facilities En-gineering and ExpeditionaryWarfare Center; and SeniorChief Michael Root of Port Op-erations.The other contestants were

Hospital Corpsman 1st ClassJames Thime of Naval BranchHealth Clinic Port Hueneme,who made Black Hawg Chili;and Karey Judice, who madeKarey’s Chili and whose hus-band is Equipment Operator 1stClass Scott Judice of NMCB3.

The unburied entrance to the cave believed to be the home of the Lone Woman of SanNicolas Island.

By Andrea HowryLighthouse

After 150 years, the Lone Woman ofSan Nicolas Island may finally be givingup her secrets.Immortalized by the half-century-old

children’s book “The Island of the BlueDolphins” — still required reading forCalifornia fourth-graders— theNicoleñoIndian lived alone on the island that isnow part of Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) for 18 years before being “res-cued” and brought to Santa Barbara in1853, only to die seven weeks later of dys-entery.Fueled in part by the popularity of Scott

O’Dell’s book, the questions about her 18years on the island have remained a haunt-ing mystery.Did she tame a wild dog and turn it into

a pet, as happened in O’Dell’s book?Where did she live? What did she eat?What did she wear? And how much con-tact did she have with Russian fur tradersand explorers who stopped by the islandduring those 18 years?Two recent archeological discoveries on

the island and other research findingsfilled an entire day of presentations at lastmonth’s 8thCalifornia Islands Symposiumin Ventura.Featured speakers included Steve

Schwartz and Lisa Thomas-Barnett, ar-cheologists for the Navy, and a handfulof archeologists who have spent decadesresearching Native American life along

the Southern California coast.Generating themost excitement was the

announcement of two recent discoveries:the cave where the Lone Woman is be-lieved to have lived and a redwood boxcontaining dozens of artifacts believed tohave been her tools, hairpins and pen-dants.Schwartz discovered the cave by piecing

together two documents dating back tothe 1800s. For years, he had known aboutan 1879 survey map that showed “IndianCave” near the already-explored Cave ofthe Whales, home to ancient petro-glyphs.“Twenty years ago I started looking for

that cave,”he told the rapt audience. “Butyear after year, I couldn’t find any-thing.”Two years ago, out of the blue, he got

a call from a researcher who had the fieldnotes to that survey. The additional infor-mation helped pinpoint the location, butall Schwartz could see there was sand.Could it be that after all these years ofwind and waves and erosion, the cave hadsimply filled with sand?Students from California State Univer-

sity, Los Angeles, have spent years study-ing archeological sites on San NicolasIsland, and they teamed up with the Navyin the search for the cave. It wasn’t longbefore they uncovered the entrance. Thena bottle was found that had been used byseafarers in the mid-1800s to hold pepper

sauce — a perfect fit on the timeline.“We are 90 percent sure this is the Lone

Woman’s cave,” Schwartz said. “Every-thing looks very good. I think we’ve gotit. The whole quest to find it was quite ajourney in itself.”The second find announced during the

symposiumwas a redwood box cache filledwith artifactsmade of bone, dolphin teeth,shells and stone.“Every time I go to SanNicolas Island,

I find something that knocks my socksoff,” said Jon Erlandson, an archeologyprofessor and executive director of theMuseum of Natural and Cultural His-tory at the University of Oregon. “Thisfind may be the most amazing of all.”Erlandson was walking a remote part

of the island with other archeologistswhen the group spotted what looked tobe a broken surfboard sticking out of acliff.“It was a late fall day,” Erlandson said,

every detail a clear memory. “It was a caseof being in the right place at the righttime.”

Erlandson scrambled down the cliff totake a closer look. From out of the faceof the cliff he pulled what he thought wasa fossil, then a piece of whale rib. Then herealized there were pieces of redwood sur-rounding the find.Immediately, the team went into emer-

gency recovery mode because the itemswere exposed to wind, blowing sand andocean spray. The cache actually held tworedwood boxes, which were carefullymoved to the island’s environmental lab.There, Thomas-Barnett began overseeinga detailed dissection. More than 3,000photographs were taken during a two-dayin-lab excavation, and an artist was calledin to sketch the findings.The redwood appeared to be recycled

canoe planks held together with asphal-tum, a glue Native Americans made fromnaturally occurring tar that washes up onthe island. There were also two waterbottles consistent with those used by theNicoleño.Inside the boxes, what Thomas-Barnett

thought would be a dozen or so artifactsended up being closer to 200 trinkets andtools, including fishhooks and beads.

Some were made from the bones of alba-tross, eagle and goose. An abalone shell,which the archeologists nicknamed the“jewelry box,” held 21 ornaments madeof shell and stone. Some stone pieces hadbeen sharpened, others had been shapedto resemble sea mammals. There was evena button.Questions remain.Were the sharpened stone pieces drills,

projectiles or scrapers?If some of these artifacts were pipe

stems or whistles, can DNA be extract-ed?And the biggest question of all: Did the

boxes indeed belong to the Lone Wom-an?“It is a reasonable hypothesis that she

cached this on the island,” Erlandsonsaid.Currently, there are no active archeo-

logical excavations on the island. Diggingstopped in April so that Capt. LarryVasquez,who inFebruary becameNBVC’scommanding officer, could review the ar-cheological research program. There is noprojected date for resumption of work atthis time.

Island finally may be revealing LoneWoman’s mysteriesCONTINUED FROM 14

The 31st Seabee Readiness Group (SRG) table was a popular stop Tuesday, Oct. 30, as Pacifica High School in Oxnard hosted a Career Day.

The rocket launcher helped.Seabees brought several displays,

including training grenades and the rocket launcher, to the Pacifica gym and got a big crowd in return.

“The kids seem really interested,” said Builder 2nd Class Rodney Sikes. “I’m getting a lot of questions about what we do and where we go — and if the weapons are real.”

The 31st SRG wasn’t the only Navy presence at Career Day. Most of the participants, in fact, were from Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC). Commands with displays included Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 113 and VAW-116, Underwater Construction Team 2, the Engineering Duty Of-ficer school, Naval Mobile Con-struction Battalion 5, the 30th Naval Construction Regiment, Fleet Read-iness Center Detachment Southwest, Commander Airborne Command Control and Logistics Wing, Naval Air Systems Command and Naval Branch Health Clinic.

Fitness experts from Morale Wel-fare and Recreation (MWR) also attended, as did a team from Child Youth Programs.

“This is a really nice mix,” said Mark Fargo, the social science in-structor at the school who organized Career Day. “This allows our stu-dents to see how diverse the Navy is and see that there are both military and civilian jobs at the base.”

NBVC is the largest employer in Ventura County, with 19,000 work-ers.

Fargo said it’s critical that in this economy, today’s students know about the many options available to them.

“I think it’s important to give kids as many choices as possible about what they can do with their lives,” he said.

Sikes called the event “awe-some.”

“So many of these kids pass by the base every day,” he said. “The

fact that we can come to this high school and educate these kids about what we do on the base and overseas is really good.”

Amanda Haskell of MWR said many people assume you have to be in the military to get a job on base.

“This helps people know about the wide range of options,” she said. “My first job was as a lifeguard on base.”

Oscar Fregoso, an 18-year-old senior, called the event “pretty cool.”

“We get an idea of what they can do,” he said of the Navy person-nel.

Many high school seniors are thinking ahead to their college careers. The seniors of Hueneme High School’s Engineering and Design Career Path (EDCP) pro-gram are preparing themselves beyond that by getting involved with engineering programs at Na-val Base Ventura County (NBVC).

Sixteen students from the EDCP program spent Tuesday, Oct. 23, visiting Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Port Hueneme Division and Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squad-ron (VAW) 116 at NBVC Point Mugu.

At Hueneme, the students were shown a video and given a pre-sentation by Capt. Scott Davis, NSWC Port Hueneme chief en-

gineer, about the engineering work done at the command. They also toured the Underway Re-plenishment (UNREP) Test Site and the Engineering Develop-ment Laboratory (EDL).

This is the second consecutive year that EDCP students have joined with NBVC though this outreach program, allowing them to gain knowledge about the types of engineering careers avail-able at the Navy base.

NBVC School Liaison Officer Monica James said the program “prepares students with a founda-tion in engineering. Students elect to be a part of the program their 10th grade year and, as a cohort, take classes designed with an en-gineering background in mind. As students become seniors, they are required to go out in the com-munity to learn more about the

engineering field. NBVC supports these students by providing an opportunity for them to visit various work sites and job shad-ow engineers in the field.”

The UNREP tour was led by Robert Hilger, UNREP Division manager. He explained the sup-port that UNREP provides to ships at sea so they can get sup-plies without having to come into a port.

The students were then taken to the EDL, a state-of-the-art facility that provides in-house design, prototyping and testing capabilities for components of the surface fleet’s combat systems. EDL Team Lead Keith Sander told the students how EDL engi-neers and technicians make pro-totypes of various components using one of the lab’s rapid pro-totype/additive manufacturing

machines. The students were fascinated with the previously made tools Sander passed around.

The students will return for a

second visit where they will be matched up with engineers so that they have first-hand experi-ence with the work done at Port Hueneme.

Carrier Airborne Early Warn-ing Squadron (VAW) 116 found the ideal person to lead more than a dozen Hueneme High School pre-engineering students on a recent tour of VAW-116: Lt. Cmdr. Paul “Oscar” Meyer, him-self an engineer.

Meyer started out by introduc-ing himself and discussing where his Navy career has taken him, including test pilot school and an assignment as an E-2C Hawkeye Fleet Replacement Squadron in-structor.

Rebecca Perez, a civilian ana-lyst with Commander Airborne Command Control and Logistics Wing, told the students about her time as a first class petty officer

in the Navy and how that helped prepare her for jobs in the civilian world.

The students then talked a bit about themselves and the high school program they’re in that’s designed to show them career op-portunities as engineers.

After the introductions, the students visited the Sun Kings’ Parachute Rigger Shop, where they were allowed to try on gear while Aircrew Survival Equip-mentman 2nd Class Lucas Leit-ner told them what the equipment does and how it protects the air-

crew from danger.The students also visited oth-

er shops throughout the Sun Kings’ squadron such as power plants, quality assurance and avionics. Each had representa-tives talk about what their jobs entail.

Aviation Electronics Techni-cian 2nd Class Kenny Blessing shared with the students how the Navy has given members of the

squadron priceless training and job experience to prepare them for the civilian world.

“This tour was important in showing high school students some of the opportunities that they’ll have if they decide to con-tinue on their road to becoming an engineer,” Meyer said. “This was also a good chance for the students to see what the Navy does on a day-to-day basis.”

Help when you need it.The Fleet & FamilySupport Center

November is the month to recognizethe Exceptional Family Member (EFM).The Fleet and Family Support Center(FFSC) wants to acknowledge familiesthat are in the EFM program and hope-fully bring more awareness to what theprogram is and who qualifies.The EFM Program is a quality-of-life

and detailing tool that is used by themilitary to help ensure service membersand their families are assigned to loca-tions that meet the needs of the EFM.Who qualifies as an EFM? The answer

is fairly simple: Family members withongoing medical, dental, mental or edu-cational special needs that require ongo-ing treatment for 12 months or longer inmost cases qualify for the EFM pro-gram.Signing up is now easier with the intro-

duction of the EFM program enrollmentrequest in the Navy Family Accountabil-ity and Assessment System (NFAAS). Byclicking on the enrollment request buttonunder a family member’s name, a requestwill be sent out to the EFM program li-

aison at the local FFSC who, in turn, willcontact the service member to help fa-cilitate the enrollment process.But the big question is: What can the

EFM program do for service membersand their families, and why should theyenroll? Enrolling in the EFMP programenables the Navy to take a family’s specialneeds into consideration when assigningduty stations. The EFM program alsoallows for family members in certain cat-egories to remain in the same geograph-

ical area (homesteading) so that there isa continuity of care for the family mem-ber while the service member is still ableto meet their sea and shore rotation re-quirements.Servicemembers who have familymem-

bers in the EFM program also have ad-ditional resources available to them, suchas the EFM liaisons, who have lists oflocal community resources for those withspecial needs. Those enrolled in the EFMprogrammay also qualify for TRICARE’sExtended Health Care Option (ECHO)which is a cost-sharing program thathelps pay for certain therapies, equipmentand treatments that are not generallycovered under TRICARE’s other plans.Family members may also qualify for freerespite care, sometimes up to 40 hours amonth.

— For more information on the EFM Programor this month’s sensory movie, pleasecontact Gil Cajala, EFM coordinator, at 805-982-8844 or by emailing gil.cajala.ctr@navy.mil.

Adding to the stress for the fam-ily is that many in the general popula-tion may find the child’s mannerisms— loud outbursts, flailing of arms andlegs, and other repetitive movements— to be signs of just being a bad child,which couldn’t be farther from thetruth.Please join us at the movies and

bring the family. Though the lightsmight be on and the sound might notbe as intense as usual, the atmospherewill be electric! You’ll be delighted tosee that kids are just kids.

In the United States, lane splitting, alsocalled white lining, is legal only in the stateof California. Last month, Rear Adm.Dixon Smith, commanding officer ofNavy Region Southwest, signed a policyletter prohibiting lane splitting bymilitarypersonnel and civilians operating onNavyinstallations in the region.

NBVC personnel were advised of thechange in advance during a question-and-answer session held Sept. 12 at NBVCPoint Mugu, where Smith said that hefinds the practice unnecessarily risky.Last week, Force Protection began stop-

ping those seen lane splitting and advisingthem of the change, said NBVC ForceProtection Director Larry Jones.“Dec. 1, we will begin issuing citations,”

he added.

ter at NBVC Point Mugu.“We’re excited about all the renovations

that are bringing these quality-of-life

programs into the 21st century,” saidMWR Marketing Director Dan Alp-ern.The theater renovation, he said, has

been a long time coming.

“This renovation project is much-need-ed to improve the facility for our servicemembers and their families,” he said.Needham Theater is expected to par-

tially reopen in April, begin showingmovies again in June and be fully re-opened in July.When finished, it will havea renovated stage and dressing rooms,seating areas, lobby, snack bar and snackbar storage area. The heating, ventilationand air conditioning system is being up-graded, as well as the restrooms.“When complete, each area being ren-

ovated will include upgraded walls, floors,ceilings, electrical, plumbing, hardwareand fixtures to improve both the appear-ance and functionality of each area,” saidLt. Cmdr.WardDoss of the PublicWorksDepartment. “During this renovation, thePoint Mugu Theater is a great alternativefor watching movies, and Duke’s Placewill be an alternate meeting location.”The renovation of the NEX food court

is in response to surveys indicating thatpatrons are “looking for a change,” Es-guerra said.With the vendor contract expiring at

the end of this year, timing was ideal, sheadded.Currently, the food court has a Sbarro,

a Rice King, a Rice King Café and Fresh-ens, a juice bar.Java Buzz, which serves coffee drinks,

is just outside the food court and is notaffected by the renovation.“We are currently in the process of ar-

ranging for more food trucks to be lo-

cated on our west patio while the renova-tion is taking place,” Esguerra said.At least one of the trucks will be a

Panda Express, she said, and all thetrucks will be open the same hours as thefood court.The other construction projects on base

are progressing, Doss said.Renovation of the Warfield Gym is

expected to be completed by February,and then MWR can begin installingequipment.“There do not appear to be any road-

blocks, and the updated gym will be wellworth the wait once it reopens,” Dosssaid.TheWarfield closed in January. Amez-

zanine is being built for cardio equip-ment, new locker rooms and showers arebeing installed, and the heating, ventila-tion and lighting systems are being re-done.Doss said the track project outside the

Beehive Gym is ahead of schedule and isexpected to be finished this month.“The final product will include a resur-

faced track, upgraded drainage system,synthetic turf and NCAA-regulationfootball and soccer field markings,”Dosssaid.The SurfNet liberty center at Point

Mugu is expected to reopen by the endof the year, as soon as all fire alarm test-ing is completed. Changes include inte-rior renovations of the walls, floors, andupgraded fire alarm and air conditioningsystems.

the devastation caused by Super-storm Sandy Oct. 30.The unit flew intoMcGuireAir

Force Base in New Jersey Nov. 4and stayed a couple of nights atthe Naval Air Engineering Sta-tion in Lakehurst to prepare topush into Breezy Point, CravenPoint and Rockaway Point.The Seabees have been tasked

with dewatering efforts in supportof the U.S. Army Corps of En-gineers and have been participat-ing in access clearance opera-tions.“It’s been really great to help

those who have lost so much, es-

pecially since I grew up in thearea,” said Construction Me-chanic Constructionman BrianLanasa, a member of the air de-tachment whowas raised in LongIsland. “Yesterday while we werepumping basements in BreezyPoint, I ran into a volunteer fire-man who is a friend of my father,and we were able to help with hishome. He was very appreciativeof our support and we were gladto be helping out in a small wayas they try and put their livesback together.”A few of the Seabees also

helped with dewatering at theWorld Trade Center site, then

moved to Breezy Point for resi-dential dewatering.The Seabees are dealing with

cold weather. Four to 6 inches ofsnow has fallen since they ar-rived.The last time NMCB 5 was

called upon for hurricane disasterrelief efforts was in 1989 to sup-port Hurricane Hugo relief ef-forts in Charleston, S.C., Antiguaand Puerto Rico.Other Seabee battalions helped

in recovery efforts after Hurri-cane Andrew in 1992, the North-ridge Earthquake in 1994, Hur-ricane Ivan in 2004 andHurricaneKatrina in 2005.
