Question: Why isn’t there air conditioning in ourchild day-care centers? I’ve kept my child homewhen the temperature was predicted to be over 90degrees, but she’s still getting overheated.

Answer: The air conditioning question is one thatwe’ve addressed before, but we’ve recently receivedseveral inquiries specific to our child care centers, soI want to take the opportunity to answer again.Although it was a warm summer, generally the

temperature at our Point Mugu and Port Huenemefacilities only gets above 80 degrees 15 days out ofthe year. It’s really only above 75 for about 45 days ayear, based on the National Oceanic and Atmospher-ic Administration’s past seven decades of data.Because of this extremely mild weather, Navy

installations in Southern California are expected tostart all projects with the assumption that air condi-tioning will not be included. It’s just not the best useof taxpayer dollars.

We do everything we can to keep our childrencool and comfortable for those few days a year thatthe temperature is warmer than usual. Our facilitieshave childproof fans, and windows are kept openthroughout the day. We offer water and ice and con-duct water play activities on especially warm days aswell.The Child Development Center at Point Mugu

stays a little warmer than the one at Port Huenemebecause of its design and location. Due to yourconcerns and comments, we did submit a request toinstall air conditioning there, which was recently ap-proved! Although we do not have a start date at thistime, we should have the equipment installed beforenext summer.We are installing thermometers in all of our care

rooms and will have our providers monitor the tem-perature at multiple times throughout the day. Thiswill help us establish how well our efforts are work-ing and give us a good baseline for any future plans.

Why don’t child care centers have air conditioning?

The Chief of Navy Chap-lains visited Naval Base Ven-tura County Oct. 23, meetingwith base chaplains and reli-gious program specialists dur-ing breakfast at the Port Hue-neme Galley.Rear Adm.Mark Tidd, who

was in the area to speak withthe Santa Barbara NavyLeague, took the opportunityto visit NBVC for the first timesince he was studying for hismaster’s of divinity at FullerTheological Seminary in Pasa-dena in the early 1980s.“Friends of the family were

stationed at PointMugu,”Tiddsaid, “and theywould invitemeand [my wife] Jennifer to din-ner and they’d invite the chap-

lain and his wife as well.”Those interactions allowed

Tidd, who was involved withthe Navy Chaplain CandidateProgram at Fuller, to get a feelfor what being a chaplain re-ally meant.“Talking with the Navy

chaplain about what specifi-cally he did really resonatedwith me and the type of min-istry I felt I was being called to.The Navy chaplaincy was anavenue to carry out that min-istry,” Tidd explained.Visiting NBVC gave Tidd a

chance to see how much thearea had changed and, moreimportantly, to hear from oth-er members of the ChaplainCorps and connect with themone-on-one.“The Chief of Chaplains is

our most senior officer in theNavyChaplainCorps,”said Lt.Cmdr. Jeffrey Han, NBVCcommand chaplain. “Formanyof our religious program spe-cialists and chaplains, it is notalways possible to meet withhim on a regular basis due tooperational or deploymentmissions.”That sense of connectedness

is exactly the point, Tiddsaid.“When I was coming up as

a chaplain, I always appreci-ated the fact that the Chief ofChaplains was interested incoming to wherever it was thatwe were — Japan, out at sea,it didn’t matter. I wanted topass that on. I think they’re do-ing great work serving ourpeople.”

A celebration of courage and life drewa crowd of 60 people Saturday, Oct. 20,as the Navy Exchange at Naval Base Ven-tura County, Port Hueneme, hosted acancer awareness tea for survivors, theircaretakers and family members.Several cancer survivors took the mi-

crophone to urge those in the audienceto get checked for signs of the disease,stressing that early detection is the keyto survival.Don’t be fooled, they said, by all the

pretty pink decorations that come out inOctober for Breast Cancer AwarenessMonth.“Cancer isn’t pink, it’s not fluffy and

it’s not pretty,” said Norma Creech, op-erations manager at the NEX and a can-cer survivor. “It’s very ugly.”Ashley Flores, the granddaughter of

Dawn Smith-Ferguson, services man-ager at the NEX, talked about what itwas like to lose a family member to can-cer. Her father died just seven monthsafter being diagnosed with leukemia, andshe wonders if he’d be around to watchher grow up if he’d gone to a doctor ear-lier.“If something doesn’t feel right,”Ash-

ley said, “trust your instincts.”Survivors talked about the importance

of keeping a positive attitude and refus-ing to let cancer take over everyday ac-tivities.“You can overcome what you want to

overcome,” said Helen Young of Moor-park, an 11-year breast cancer survivorwho was invited to the event by a friendwho works at the NEX.NEX employees gave pink roses to each

of the survivors and their caretakers inthe audience.Afterwards, they sang “Happy Birth-

day” in recognition of each year of sur-vival.“I think this was awesome,”Smith-Fer-

guson said as the festivities were windingdown. “Now we can start getting excitedabout next year.”

Cancer awareness tea draws 60 to NEX


Cancer survivors and their caregivers are honored at a cancer awareness tea put onSaturday, Oct. 20, by the Navy Exchange at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.Several survivors took the microphone to stress the need for annual exams, pointing outthat early detection is the key to surviving cancer.

By Lt. j.g. Forrest BrownNMCB 4

Inpreparation for their upcomingdeploy-ment, 17 members of the Naval MobileConstruction Battalion (NMCB) 4 WaterWell Team embarked on a field trainingexercise (FTX) toFortHunter Liggett nearCalifornia’s central coast.The training was led by Equipment Op-

erator 1stClassChristopherHendersonandConstruction Mechanic 2nd Class JaredStewart of the 31st Seabee ReadinessGroup.The exercise began with two weeks of

classroom instruction followed by the two-week field exercise. The classroom instruc-tion covered a range of topics, includinggeology, the three types of U.S. Navy drill-ing rigs and various drilling methods andprocedures.On Aug. 20, the team left for Fort Hunt-

erLiggett tobegin the secondphaseof train-ing.Themissionwas to construct a 600-footwaterwell andprovide aminimumworkingcapacity of 45 gallons per minute.The task required 11 days of around-the-

clock effort, forcing the team members toalter their sleeping schedules and endurenonstop eight-hour drilling shifts. Temper-atures reached 100 degrees during middayand dropped to the low 50s by the earlymorning.Regardlessof the challenges andobstacles

the team faced, everyone was fired up tofinally be out in the field and get a taste of

whatwas in store for the upcoming deploy-ment.Visiting the teamduring the exercisewere

Capt. LarryVasquez, commanding officer,NavalBaseVenturaCounty (NBVC);Capt.Dean Tufts, commanding officer, 31st Sea-bee Readiness Group; Command MasterChief Thomas Cyr of NBVC; and Cmdr.JeffreyKilian, commandingofficer,NMCB4.The team reached its goal Aug. 29.“I asked forWaterWell, not expecting to

be part of the team, so when I was chosenI was very excited. I was especially eager toget to know the team, whowill becomemysmall family in a sense,” said EquipmentOperatorConstructionmanPriscillaFrenchabout her experience onWaterWell FTX.The success of NMCB 4’s Water Well

Teamhas established thebattalionas apow-erhouse in the contingencywater well drill-ing business. Utilitiesman 2nd Class LuisEsparza is returning for his second con-secutive year with the team.“Last year, my team drilled a total of

seven successful wells,” he said. “My pri-mary focus is to teach and prepare the newWaterWell Team sowe can be as successfulas the team was last year.“Needless to say,” he added, “a high ex-

pectation has been set for next year’sWaterWell Teamdeploying to theHorn of Africain February 2013. But a new environmentwill bring new challenges and opportuni-ties.”

It isn’t uncommon for parents to lookover their children’s schoolwork and thinkto themselves, “I don’t remember learningthat at their age.” It also isn’t uncommonfor a parent to ask a child for help using anew electronic gadget or figuring out anapp.There is no doubt that technology is

changing how we live our daily lives. Thatmeans that today’s generation must alsolearn and be taught differently to keep upwith the pace of technology’s develop-ment.Many schools are using the phrase “21st

century learning” or “21st century skills”to describe this movement that is refiningthe goals of education. Ultimately, 21stcentury learningwill be learner-driven.Nolonger will learning come from the topdown. Students will be prepared to drivetheir own educations.This type of education does not neces-

sarily take placewithin fourwalls. Studentswill use the Internet through their cellphones and computers, and they’ll chatwithfriends on a social networking site. Theteacher’s role will be to monitor and issueassignments via virtual classrooms.

The overarching learning goals for stu-dentswill not change.These subjects includemath, language and social and physical sci-ences. Other subjects will also becomeequally important: the environment, healthand financial and civic literacy. The differ-ence will be in how the students learn suchsubjects. The “how” includes what manyeducators are referring to as the “4 C’s.”•Critical Thinking and Problem Solving:

This refers to the ability to use facts, knowl-edge and data to effectively solve prob-lems.• Creativity and Innovation: This is the

ability to createnew ideasusingawide rangeof techniques and to be able to develop,implement and communicate those ideaseffectively. The definition can go further toinclude the ability to accept failure as anopportunity to learn, understanding thatcreativity and innovation is a cyclical processof small successes and frequent mistakes.• Communication: This is the ability to

articulate thoughts and ideas effectively us-ing oral, written and non-verbal communi-cation skills and a variety of multiplemediaand technologies — all in diverse environ-ments.

• Collaboration: This is working effec-tively and respectfully with diverse teamswhile exercising flexibility and willingnessto be helpful inmaking necessary compro-mises to accomplish a common goal. Thisincludes assuming shared responsibility forcollaborative work and valuing the indi-vidual contributions made by each teammember.The definitions for school, teacher and

learner will be revised to reflect this newlearning environment. Schoolswill go frombuildings to nerve centers with walls thatare transparent—connecting teachers, stu-

dents and the community to the wealth ofknowledge that exists in theworld. The pri-mary role of the teacher as a dispenser ofinformationwill shift to an orchestrator oflearning andhelping students turn informa-tion into knowledge—andknowledge intowisdom.Learners also need to be seen in a new

context. Their interest must bemaintainedbyhelping themsee thatwhat theyare learn-ing prepares them for the real world. Theircuriosity must be instilled. They should beexcited to become evenmore resourceful sothat they will continue to learn outside theformal school day.Please remember that shifting schools to

a 21st century learning environment willtake time. However, be prepared. Soon,older studentswill be able to take their elec-tronic devices to school and use them in theclassroom. Hardcover textbooks will bereplacedwith e-books. These simple chang-es begin the transformation to the future21st century learning environment.

A story set in the early 1800s tells ofPhilip Nolan, a young officer in the Unit-ed States Army who gets caught up in aplot to overthrow the government. Con-victed of treason, he swears in rash angerthat he wishes never again to hear thewords, “The United States of America.”The judge decides to grant his wish, andhe is sentenced to a life of exile. Thosearound him are ordered never to speakto him of America. He comes to beknown as “The Man Without a Coun-try.”Years later, a remorseful Nolan pleads

with a young sailor:“Remember . . . your Country, and that

you belong to Her as you belong to yourown mother. Stand by Her, boy, as youwould stand by your mother.”Then he adds, “O, if anybody had said

so to me when I was of your age!”

Each of us has a land we call our own.It may be the place where our family haslived for generations. It may be the coun-try of our birth that we left long ago. Orit may be an adopted nation we now con-sider our home. By virtue of our heritageor our loyalty, we all feel connected to acountry.

Love of country inspires men andwomen to give their very best, even theirlives if necessary, to uphold its freedoms.In faraway places or just down the street,we stand tall for the worthy values andprinciples espoused by our nation.When fellow countrymen are in trouble,

we reach out to assist them, defend theirrights and rebuild their lives. The bondof common citizenship unites us andstrengthens us in spite of differences ofrace, religion or politics. The commitmentwe swear to our country is, at its heart,a promise to help one another.We all have a country. It may not be

the largest, the richest or the most pow-erful, but it deserves our loyalty and ourlove and our best efforts to make it bet-ter.We can say with hope and faith, “God

bless this land.”

Each of us can say with loyalty, ‘God bless this land’

Providence School needs giftsHELP ON THE HOLIDAYS

TheNaval Base Ventura County Federal Fire De-partment reminds everyone to “fall back”one houron your clocks before you go to bed Saturday, Nov.3, and to change your smoke detector batteries atthe same time.The majority of fatal home fires happen at night

when people are asleep. Contrary to popular belief,the smell of smoke may not wake a sleeping person.The poisonous gases and smoke produced by a firecan numb the senses and put you into a deepersleep.According to the National Fire Protection As-

sociation, minimum protection requires a smokedetector outside each sleeping area and on everylevel of the home.Because smoke rises, mount detectors high on a

wall or on the ceiling. Wall-mounted units shouldbe hung 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling. A ceiling-mounted unit should be attached at least 4 inchesfrom the nearest wall. In roomswith pitched ceilings,mount the detector at or near the ceiling’s highestpoint.Only a functioning smoke detector can protect

you. Never disable a detector by borrowing its bat-tery for another use. Following the manufacturer’sinstructions, test all your smoke detectors monthlyand install new batteries at least once a year. Manybattery-powered units “chirp” or give some otheraudible signal when their batteries need to be re-

placed.Clean your smoke detectors. Dust and cobwebs

can reduce a detector’s sensitivity to smoke. Andnever paint one.In addition to having smoke detectors, you should

create an evacuation plan for your family. Knowyour exit options, and formulti-story dwellings, havea fire escape ladder or some other means to get outsafely in the event that the stairwell is inaccessible.Have a prearranged assembly area for your familyso that you can quickly account for everyone. Thisis especially important in households where thereare children or elderly people. Practice these drillsso that everyone will know what to do in the eventof an emergency.If you have questions or concerns regarding fire

safety, call the Fire Prevention Office at Naval BaseVentura County at 989-7034.

Among them were, from left, CECN Justin Crozier, CECN Jude Zamor, BUCR Kenneth Howard and EACR Victoria Thompson. At far right is one of the reasons no one walked too close to the tarp walls, many of which had convenient holes where creatures like this would make an appearance.

By Andrea HowryLighthouse editor

Just like the Big Bad Wolf, Santa Ana winds huffed and puffed but couldn’t blow down the Haunted Maze at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme.

As a result, 250 people visited Friday, Oct. 26, for the Scaredy-Cat tour and 300 more walked through after dark for Fright Night.

This was the first year for the maze, which was set up behind the Aquatics Center, home for many years to the Haunted Swamp, where visitors crossed the decorated pool in a boat pulled along by divers from Underwater Construction Team 2.

Limited access to the pool this year forced Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) to come up with an alternative, and the high winds almost forced a com-plete shutdown.

“We had to delay the opening by an hour while we fixed everything the winds had torn down,” explained head life-guard Drew Isais. “Props had fallen down, the tarp walls were ripped off, even some of the hay bales that made up the maze had fallen over.”

He said winds had been clocked at 40 to 50 mph that afternoon.

Safety officials checked out the maze and gave the OK for everything to open shortly before 5 p.m.

More than 60 volunteers had worked for a week creating the scary scenes in-side, and many were on hand that night dressed in costumes and wearing heavy makeup to become clowns, zombies, Frankenstein and gory creatures

drenched in “blood.”“Scaring people is fun,” said Construc-

tion Electrician Constructionman Justin Crozier of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5, who was dressed as a cow-boy zombie and stood guard in a grave-yard.

At one sharp turn just past the hay bales, visitors were greeted by several clowns jumping out of a wooden box.

“Here, you look like you could use a hand,” shouted Engineering Aide Con-struction Apprentice Casey Smith of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5 as he tossed a fake severed arm to a fam-ily walking by.

Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Nonito Niebres of the Naval Branch Health Clinic Port Hueneme emerged from a dark corner wearing a mask and wield-ing weapons caked with “blood.”

He happily posed for a photo, then remembered he was wearing a mask.

“Why am I smiling?” he asked.Children’s reaction to the Haunted

Maze ranged from sheer terror to rolling eyes.

Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Michael Ortiguero joked that he probably wouldn’t be nominated Parent of the Year as he pulled his screaming 4-year-old past the displays.

Eight-year-old Victoria Truong, the daughter of Builder 2nd Class Marlin Llaneza of the 31st Seabee Readiness Group, kept her composure, but her 6-year-old sister, Angelina, clung to her dad as they made their way through, even turning away from a clown who tried to high-five her.

But minutes later, both girls were just fine, happily playing basketball at the carnival set up just outside the tarps, where Family Readiness Groups, local teen centers and MWR had set up games and food booths.

“I’m glad to be helping out,” said vol-unteer Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class Robert Robertson of Fleet Readiness Center Southwest, Point Mugu Detachment. “It’s something for the kids to do this Halloween — and I’m all about Halloween.”

Haunted Maze full of thrills

Karlissa and HM2 Michael Ortiguero try to persuade their 4-year-old, Michael Jr., to continue through the Haunted Maze, but the clowns were getting the better of him.

We had to delay the opening by an hour while we fixed everything the winds had torn down. Props had fallen down, the tarp walls were ripped off.

— Drew IsaisHead lifeguard


It was only appropriate that the retired racing Greyhound ran away with first place.

Southern, adopted by retired Chief Construction Mechanic Brad Stice and his wife, Ilana, came to the Navy Ex-change at Naval Base Ventura County, Port Hueneme, Saturday, Oct. 28, dressed as the Red Baron, and that won him first prize in the annual Howloween Costume Contest.

“We saw the marquee advertising the contest, and I’d figured since we’d bought the costume, we’d let her wear it,” Stice said.

Among the dogs Southern defeated were a Chihuahua dressed as the Incred-ible Hulk, a Shih Tzu Chihuahua mix wearing a tutu and a Chow dressed as, well, a Chow.

Ruthie Gogue, the consumables man-ager at the NEX, said the costume con-test and the annual Holidays with Santa photo shoot in December are a fun way to let customers learn about the newest products in the store’s Pet Department.

Saturday’s event featured the latest in pet treats, including Veggie Chips.

More than a dozen dogs came with their owners in tow.

NEX contest is a real howl

ited.In the classroom category, the Point

Mugu CDC received 99 percent scoresfor preschool and toddler classroomsand a 97 percent score for infants. A 70percent score is required for certifica-tion.When the CDC was last certified five

years ago, the system was pass-fail.“We didn’t know what to expect,”

Nash said. “So when we saw thesescores, we all felt great. We know howlong and how hard everyone worked toearn this.”The CDC at NBVC Port Hueneme

went through this process two yearsago.“They helped us with training and

with the portfolios, and they conducteda mock inspection so we’d know whatto expect,” Nash explained. “We had alot of interaction. We worked as ateam.”Nash set up a temporary display with

the many binders and files that wereinvolved in the certification process.

Each classroom and each program hada portfolio.There were assessments, self-assess-

ments, facility assessments, even a sec-tion on how the CDC uses communityresources.“The assessors were here from the

time we opened at 6 a.m. until the timewe closed at 5:30 p.m.,” Nash said.“They spent an hour in each classroom,examined the playgrounds and checkedout the structures.”They also looked through binder af-

ter binder and folder after folder.“If something was missing, we had

one hour to find it,” Nash said. “Weended up with three things missing, andwe found each one within 10 min-utes.”The Point Mugu CDC has an infant

program for children ages 6 weeks to 1year, a pre-toddler program for 1- and2-year-olds; a toddler program for 2-and 3-year olds and a preschool pro-gram for children ages 3 to 5.For more information on the CDC
