WHAT’S INSIDE

This photo of the access road to
Laguna Peak, taken Friday, Dec.
12, by Brian Edsinger, Naval Base
Ventura County’s emergency
management officer, shows the
damage caused by heavy rains and
winds the night before. The peak,
stripped of vegetation in last year’s
Springs Fire, shed mud and debris
onto the roadway, blocking all but
the most tenacious four-wheel drive
vehicles from accessing the antenna
arrays. Page 3

bags of toys during Operation Holiday Gift Drop Sunday, Dec. 14, where
more than 1,000 bags of toys and nearly 500 bicycles were given away
to military families. Pope’s wife, Galadriel, retired from the Navy earlier
this year, and the family of five is down a paycheck. “It’s a good thing,
especially right now,” Adam Pope said of the event. “It’s a real big help.”

The joy of the winter holidays

each attracting more than 1,000
people and bringing smiles to children and adults alike.

Historic sites make SNI a delicate place for Navy to work
By Kimberly Gearhart
NBVC Public Affairs

Many Californians know San
Nicolas Island as “The Island of
the Blue Dolphins,” thanks to a
children’s book of the same title
written by Scott O’Dell; Navy archaeologists and cultural resource
specialists know the island’s his-

tory has much more to offer.
SNI is part of Naval Base Ventura County, located 65 miles offshore in the Point Mugu Sea Test
Range. The island houses instrumentation critical to the operation
of the range, where military air
and surface craft as well as weapons and countermeasures are

tested year-round. But those operations take place in a delicate
balance with the remains of centuries of human history.
For more than 8,000 years, humans have inhabited San Nicolas
Island (SNI), according to Cultural Resources Program Manager Catherine Girod. Evidence

can be found in middens, cave
paintings and other relics scattered
across the 23-square-mile island.
Those prehistoric deposits — and
more recent historic items like
shipwrecks and 19th century artifacts — make SNI a delicate

Can repairs to the Port Hueneme pool be expedited?
Question: The pool at Port Hueneme is used by
many active duty as well as Department of Defense
civilians. Not sure if you are aware but the heater at the
pool failed, and we’re being told it will be after the new
year before it can be repaired. The last time I swam,
only one other person was brave enough to jump into
the 65-degree water. I and the other patrons would appreciate anything you can do to expedite this repair.
Answer: The equipment failure at the Port Hueneme pool is definitely inconvenient for our frequent
lap swimmers, and as with all critical failures, it was
immediately reported up the chain of command to my
office.
Unfortunately, the repair delay is the result of an
equipment backorder; the part we need just isn’t available any sooner. We’ve avoided closing the pool, as
some people are willing to brave the colder water, but
we are monitoring the water temperature to ensure it
doesn’t fall below 65 degrees, which is the minimum

temperature recommended by the U.S. Navy Bureau of
Medicine and Surgery’s Manual of Preventive Medicine, Chapter 4.
In the interim, the hours at the Point Mugu pool
have been expanded to allow more people use of that
facility. It’s now open from 6 to 8:30 a.m. Monday
through Friday, 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday and
Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, Thursday
and Friday. The locker room stays open 30 minutes
later most days to accommodate patrons. For more
information, call 805-989-7788.
Do you have questions, comments, or suggestions? I want to hear them! Reach me here by emailing

Heavy winds early Friday morning, Dec. 12, caused branches — and sometimes entire
trees — to topple. This tree, located in the backyard of a home at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Point Mugu, split nearly in two, taking out a section of fence and landing in
a neighboring playground.

Laguna Peak, denuded of ground cover in last year’s Springs Fire, shed mud
and debris onto the access road that winds
its way up to the instrumentation array
atop the hill. With an Atlas launch scheduled at Vandenberg Air Force Base, clearing a path to the arrays was of critical
importance.

“These launches are delicately timed,”
said Cmdr. Terry Dermody, NBVC’s operations officer, “so getting a path up there
clear enough for safe transit is a high priority.”
Public Works began clearing debris on
the peak late Friday morning.

Storms raged through Ventura County
in the wee hours of the morning Friday,
Dec. 12, prompting evacuations and road
closures in multiple areas.
At Naval Base Ventura County, several
low-lying roads in the controlled industrial areas at Port Hueneme were closed,
and workers trying to get to Naval Surface
Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division
(NSWC PHD) found most of their regular routes to work blocked by standing
water.
“We opened Victoria Gate inbound,
normally reserved for commercial traffic,
for those employees heading to NSWC,”
said Brian Edsinger, NBVC’s emergency
management officer. “Their only clear
path to get in and out of work Friday
morning was following the perimeter road
around from Victoria.”
Public Works set up portable pumps to
clear the standing water, and most access
had been restored by lunchtime, although
arteries near the port and canals remained
blocked for most of the day.
At Point Mugu, the beach took a pounding; erosion was visible along Family
Beach, and dunes marched across Beach
Road, forcing its closure.
Heavy winds dislodged tree branches at
both locations, including one tree nearly
split in half in the back yard of a home at
Point Mugu. The falling tree took out a
section of fencing and toppled into an
adjacent playground.

Kids decorate cards to go with cookies

Thursday, December 18, 2014

“Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Troops are amazing
And so are you!!”



Students from three local schools made
hundreds of cards for Sailors at Naval
Base Ventura County this holiday season.
The cards, along with donated homebaked cookies, are being distributed to
Sailors in the barracks and will be mailed
off to those who are deployed and away
from their families as part of the Fleet &
Family Support Center’s Treats for Troops
program.
Lori Steinhauer of the FFSC oversaw
the card-making project at E.O. Green
Junior High School in Oxnard, where
tables were set up in the quad area and
any student could come by and create a
greeting for a Sailor.

Ocean View Junior High School and Las
Posas Elementary School also took
part.
Steinhauer related some of the messages in the cards:
• “We thank you for everything you do
for our country! We all love you! I hope
you have the best holidays! Remember, the
world thanks you for serving our country!
Thank you for going out there for us! You
are very special to us! And the world!”
• “I truly appreciate every single thing
that you have done for our country, and
I wish you a very delightful and amazing
Christmas! I love you so much and thank
you!”
• “Thank you for your hard work. I’m
sorry you guys have to be away from your
family during holidays. Merry Christmas!
I appreciate it that you guys are working
hard.”
E.O. Green Principal Heidi Haines said

she was honored that her school could
take part in the project.
“I am so grateful for your support and
for allowing us to participate,” she said.
“It is so gratifying to see that our students,
thanks to events like these, have developed
a true appreciation of what the troops do
for our nation, and the knowledge that
one person, even one card, can make a
difference in the lives of those serving.”

Walk into any toy store and you’ll find
plenty of learning opportunities for children of all ages.
Toys are fun and encourage play, but
many of them also encourage some form
of learning. From motor skills to math
comprehension, science exploration to
social skills, toys and games are an excellent way for children to discover new
knowledge.
Here are some ideas for educational toys
and games this holiday season.

skills do not need to be sacrificed. A few
tools or a kit can encourage a valuable
interest in carpentry and mechanics.
• Large puzzles are a great way to encourage critical thinking skills and family
time — both of which are important in
the teen years.
• Video games, cell phones, laptops and
tablets will no doubt be of interest to the
high school student. Encourage safe use,
appropriate games and apps and supervision.
Does it seem that almost any toy or
game can be classified as a learning tool?
Well, most can be. It is up to the parent
to decide what academic or life skill should
be encouraged and supported. Purchase
accordingly.

• Puzzles provide an excellent opportunity to build critical thinking and reasoning skills. An extra bonus: Completing a

• Matching games that allow children

• As children begin to recognize colors,

My most important memory in times of change
The time of year has come once again
for me to get on my old blue jeans, pour
a very strong cup of Dunkin’ Donuts coffee, put on my trusty “Aaron Neville’s
Soulful Christmas” CD, circa 1993, open
the garage door and begin to pull out several dusty boxes initially identified as
“PCS” and then scribbled over with what
seems to read “Christmas Decorations.”
It’s my annual “Deck the Halls” day.
A part of me sighs at the energy and
time it will take to get everything set up,
but the other part of me is excited by the
anticipation of how it will turn out this
time around.
Much like many of us are doing this
time of year — PCSing, retiring, moving
on to new things — I can’t believe where
the time has gone and that a change is
now upon me. The anxiousness of rushing
around to get all of the paperwork and
last-minute details sorted out is mixed with
the melancholy that naturally comes with
leaving. And yet, there is this wonder and
anticipation of something new around the
corner, something that must be encountered or experienced.
My mind wanders … back to the boxes,
as I open them one by one. Some items I

work hard to try and recall when and
where I picked them up or who gave them
to me.
Much like our time in the Navy or at a
particular duty station, there will be moments in our lives where we sit down to
relive our sea stories, to recall the memories. Some will have faded in the distance,
and some will come back to us as crystal
clear as the day they occurred.
The memories I’ll be taking are the
faces of the Sailors, Seabees, Airmen, Marines, Soldiers, Guardsmen and their family members whom I have counseled and
helped along the way. I’ll recall their

Angel Tree set up
in Seabee Chapel



Local children who have a parent behind
bars this holiday season had their Christmas wish lists filled by parishioners at the
Seabee Chapel at Naval Base Ventura
County (NBVC) Port Hueneme.
Working with the Salvation Army, chapel personnel set up an Angel Tree, where
parishioners could select an “ornament”
— a tag listing the Christmas wish of a
child with an incarcerated parent. Parishioners then filled the wish list, returning
the “ornament” and the presents to the
Seabee Chapel by Tuesday, Dec. 16.
The Salvation Army was slated to pick
up all the gifts Thursday, Dec. 18, for distribution to the children.
NBVC has set up an Angel Tree in the
past, and this year’s organizers, Father
Antony Berchmanz and Religious Programming Specialist 3rd Class Teresa
Bomba, have long been involved with the
project.
“Our parishioners are very, very generous,” Berchmanz said.

laughter, their jokes and their pranks. I’ll
recall their tears, their losses and their sufferings. I’ll recall their growth, their
strength and their courage. These are the
elements that make up the DNA of a human being.
There’s one moment in my counseling
sessions that I love the most. It’s the moment when, as a chaplain, I have the privilege of joining God in creating something
that’s missing for another human being.
For one person it may be helping to renew
their Faith. For another it may be giving
them the gift of Hope. For someone else
it may be teaching them to open their heart
to heal and to Love.
As I open my last Christmas box, I pull
out a candle set with three votives marked
“Faith, Hope and Love.” I am reminded
of the scripture passage in I Corinthians
13:13, “And now abide, Faith, Hope, Love,
these three; and the greatest of these is
Love.”
That is the most important memory that
I will be taking with me, the Love that
God places in our hearts for another human being. I pray it will come to be the
memory of your time in service as well.
May God’s presence be the strength and
sure foundation of your life!

“Like each and every Navy assignment
I’ve had, this has been an extraordinary
opportunity to learn, serve and lead,” he
said. “I want to thank you for what you

the command.
Ver Hage heads to another assignment
at NAVSEA as the director of Test and
Evaluation for the Evolved Sea Sparrow
Missile System program, a 10-nation, international cooperative development effort.
Luby, following his formal assumption
of command, told those assembled, “It is

expectations.”

(NSWC PHD) from Capt. Eric H. Ver
Hage during a formal change of command
ceremony Dec. 2.
Rear Adm. Lorin C. Selby, commander,
Naval Surface Warfare Center, served as
presiding officer and keynote speaker at
the ceremony.
In his message, Selby referred back 73
years to Dec. 7, 1941, and the start of
World War II. He pointed out that the
war energized the industrial base, brought
people together with a common focus and
was the genesis of the Navy’s role in protecting our country.
Selby told the audience, “You are the
backbone of the Fleet and what you do is
incredibly important. You literally have
the lives of people in the Navy in your
hands and all the while, you provide us
with an advantage over our enemies. You
support the warfighters and have what
they need in their pursuit of compliance.
I expect to see even greater things from
you in the future.”
Ver Hage came to the podium and
thanked his co-leader, Dr. William Luebke,
NSWC PHD’s technical director, for his
selflessness, professionalism and dedica-

math (STEM). Some of the engineers who work at NSWC
PHD really are rocket scientists:
They design, test and install
technology for ships that protect our nation.
The agreement was reached
to encourage careers in the science, technical, engineering and

math fields, but it also allows
students to experience realistic
work settings and expectations.
They will be exposed to scientific tools and language, learn
practical math and science applications, and refine problemsolving skills.
Under the agreement, NSWC

PHD will also loan laboratory
equipment to the university to
work on projects of mutual benefit.
“We’ve been talking with
CSUCI for some time to establish this partnership,” said Ver
Hage, who has since moved on
to the Naval Sea Systems Command. “It’s the first time we’ve
done this type of program at the
university level, and I’m proud
to be able to sign this agreement
to get the project started.”
Ver Hage praised Rush for
promoting community engagement and innovation and being
committed to finding forwardthinking solutions and advocating educational access, academic preparation and student
success for students.
“This is a great opportunity
for us to work with the university to provide a curriculum to
evolve with the needs of the
Navy,” said Gregory Wakatsuki, who will serve as NSWC
PHD’s partnership program
manager.

Reserve petty officers hold canned food drive
By YNC Ryan Arnoldussen
NOSC Ventura County

One-hundred first class petty officers and
65 chief petty officers from 39 local Navy
Reserve units in the Southwest Region participated in a canned food drive Nov. 1 and
2 at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC).
The chiefs and petty officers donated
hundreds of cans of food and other nonperishable items that were delivered to the
Salvation Army Nov. 26. They volunteered
as part of the Chief Petty Officer Association and CPO 365, a year-round leadership
training environment for first class petty
officers seeking to be promoted to chief.
“It grooms us and takes petty officers
first class to the next level,” said Yeoman
1st Class Rena Eugeni, who came out to
help and who worked on a flier for the
event.
“I have a lot of canned goods and food
that I know I am not going to eat, and I
thought, instead of just leaving it in my
pantry or letting them sit there, why not
donate them?” said Eugeni, a native of

Oxnard. “There are many families who
depend on the donations of others, whose
meals consist of what is in the food box,
and it pleases me to know that there will
be a handful of families that will have
things that they probably cannot afford
because of some energy spent on collecting
for this great cause.”
The donated food will go directly to local
families, and some was used during the

Salvation Army’s annual classic Thanksgiving dinner that included turkey, ham, sweet
potato pie, green beans, mashed potatoes,
gravy, stuffing, cranberry salad, crescent
rolls and, of course, pumpkin pie.
Lt. Manuel Gaytan, commanding officer
of the Salvation Army’s Oxnard and Port
Hueneme Corps, said the donations came
just in time because the food pantry was
running low on supplies. The economy and
rising food prices has led to increased demand, he said.
“There are no words to explain how
much it means to us to see all of the canned
goods and other perishables being donated
the day before Thanksgiving,” Gaytan said.
“It was a sight to see.”
Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class
Kristi Mower, the operations assistant leading petty officer at Navy Operational Support Center (NOSC) Ventura County, said
the canned food drive is a great way to give
back to the community.
“It’s important to help out and be a part
of the community,” she said. “That’s what
Sailors do.”

Water conservation tips
Here are some water-saving tips everyone can use:
• Shorten your shower by a minute or
two and you’ll save up to 150 gallons per
month. Better yet, time your shower to
keep it under 5 minutes and you’ll save up
to 1,000 gallons per month.
• When running a bath, plug the bathtub
before turning on the water. Adjust the
temperature as the tub fills. Better yet, take
a 5-minute shower instead; a full bathtub
requires up to 70 gallons of water.
• Turn off the water while washing your
hair and save up to 150 gallons a month.
• While you wait for hot water, collect
the running water and use it on plants.
• Wash your pets outdoors, in an area
of your lawn that needs water.
• When cleaning out fish tanks, give the
nutrient-rich water to your non-edible
plants.
• When ice cubes are left over from your
drink, don’t throw them out. Pour them
on a plant.

A Sailor from Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion (NCMB) 3 recently
completed a 200-mile
walk from Port Hueneme
to San Diego to raise
awareness against bullying. Yeoman 3rd Class
Chris Kalb started his
journey on Thanksgiving
morning at Naval Base
Ventura County (NBVC)
Port Hueneme and arrived
at the “Unconditional
Surrender” statue near the
San Diego harbor the evening of Monday, Dec. 1.
“Sticks and stones may
break your bones, but
words will never hurt
you,” said Kalb. “Growing up, this phrase never
helped me.”
Kalb said that being
bullied as a child still affects him.
“Something I learned
was that my bones will

Walking roughly 40
miles each day for five
days, Kalb arrived at the
statue at 9:15 p.m. Nearly

exhaustion and happiness.
“That statue was the
third most beautiful thing
I had ever seen, right behind my mother and girlfriend,” said Kalb.
Steep hills and rough
roads had taken a toll. His
feet were blistered, and he
wore two knee wraps to
help with pain. By Day 3,
he was using a cane to
help stabilize his body. He
walked the entire Day 4
on the beach to give his
feet more comfort.
“I wanted to test my
mental and physical
strength while also help
bring attention to a very
underrated problem in
our schools,” said Kalb. “I
hope to inspire anybody
who has reached rock bottom in their life, that no
matter how far in life you
fall, you can always get
back up and do extraordinary things.”

FNs must fill out form for base access
With the holiday season here, the Security Management Office is issuing a reminder to all personnel regarding foreign
nationals (FNs) aboard Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC).
Sponsors of FNs, including friends and
family of military personnel living in base
housing (designated as “unofficial FN
visitors”), must fill out a Foreign National Request Form and fax or email it, along
with a copy of the FN’s passport, to the
Security Management Office at least two


 

business days before they want to come
on base.
After approval, sponsors may pick up
the orange FN badge from the Pass & ID
office. The badge must be worn at all times
while on the installation.
The visitor request form and more information concerning the access program
can be found online at cnic.navy.mil/ventura under “Visitors and base access information” on the right-hand side of the

Fleet Logistics Support Squadron (VR)
55 executed a change of command Dec. 12
at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC)
Point Mugu.
Cmdr. Joel A. Fragale relieved Cmdr.
Richard K. Thorp as commanding officer
of the squadron, known as “The Minutemen.” Fragale becomes the squadron’s 29th
commander.
From October 2013 until his change of
command, Thorp led The Minutemen with
the command philosophy of “People,
Planes, Professionalism.” His Minutemen
completed deployments to Japan, Italy and
the Persian Gulf, earning the Battle “E”
Award as well as Commander Fleet Logistics Wing Golden Wrench and Operations
Excellence awards.
Thorp’s last words as commanding officer centered on thanking his family, the
community and the squadron. At the end
of his speech, he passed his charge to Fragale.
“You’re ready,” he said, “and whenever
you have to make the tough decisions, remember that you are here to lead the incred-

emphasizing “Mission, People and Professionalism.”
“We will be ready to provide the best possible airlift support to the Fleet,” he said.
“We take care of each other and our families and maintain professionalism in every
action and place we go.”
He stressed the importance of people being the squadron’s greatest asset and needing to be prioritized no matter the situation.
Fragale welcomed the new executive officer, Cmdr. C. Patrick Smith, and said he
looked forward to the work ahead.
The guest speaker for the ceremony was
Capt. Mark O. Bailey, commanding officer
of Command Fleet Logistics Support Wing,
who had high praise for The Minutemen.
“They continually innovate, communicate
and lead,” he said. “Skipper Thorp has led
the squadron to a Battle E and through the
transition of five USMC Hercs into our
Wing. I have no doubt Skipper Fragale will
continue to lean forward and take the
squadron to even higher levels of performance. This is the squadron everyone wants
to be a part of, and the leadership here is
the reason why.”

Change, especially a deployment, can affect child’s behavior
Nine-year-old Kristy was a lively little
girl described by her parents as “loving,
helpful and a great listener.”
A few months ago, Kristy’s mother noticed that her once-happy child had begun
to withdraw from friends and was spending a great deal of time at home alone in
her room. When Kristy’s mother tried to
engage her, Kristy would talk back and
refuse to listen. Kristy’s behavior at home
eventually leaked into her behavior at
school, resulting in several notes being sent
home from her teacher and slipping
grades.
Many children respond to changes in
their lives as Kristy did. Change is an inevitable part of life: moving, divorce,
graduation, childbirth. Any change can
result in a disruption of the stability of
the family system.
Deployments, however, are a unique

change faced by military families.
Normal reactions to change can produce a variety of feelings, from anger or
frustration to sadness and loneliness.
Changes can also result in behavioral adjustments. Children can respond to parental separations with increased noncompli-

ance, irritability, nightmares, crying spells
and decreased academic performance. Any
alteration of routine can leave children
feeling insecure and can result in these
types of behavioral changes. Often, children lack the ability to effectively express
themselves, and it looks as though they
are simply misbehaving.
Maintaining consistency in a child’s life
can minimize some of the impact a deployment has on the family. Consistent routines help foster feelings of safety, resulting in increased compliance by children.
Having regularly scheduled times to talk
to a deployed loved one can also reduce
fears associated with deployments, although this is not always possible.
The Fleet & Family Support Center
(FFSC) at Naval Base Ventura County
(NBVC) offers programs to help minimize
stress associated with deployments. Unit-

ed Through Reading is one such program;
the deploying service member is videotaped reading to their children, who are
then able to read along to the videotape
throughout the deployment as a means of
staying connected.
Military Kids Clubs and Military Teens
Clubs are offered as support groups
throughout the year at seven local
schools.
Sometimes seeking counseling may be
necessary if your child’s behaviors do not
subside. The FFSC can help with this and
other services. For more information, contact the FFSC at NBVC Port Hueneme
at 982-5037 or at NBVC Point Mugu at

“Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.” Children enjoy the snow blowing from the stage as
night falls on Winter Wonderland. The event ran from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 13,

There were clear skies and food trucks
and a marshmallow roast, but the big draw
to the annual Winter Wonderland at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port
Hueneme Saturday, Dec. 13, was snow.
Forty tons of it, to be exact.
More than 1,200 people showed up for
the four-hour event that began at 2:30
p.m., many of them determined to throw
a snowball or make a snow angel.
“Mommy, I made a snowman!” 6-yearold Rebekkah Mitre said as she held out
her hands and showed her miniature creation to her mom, Builder 3rd Class Loren
Mitre of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3.
Mitre was especially happy to be sharing

the afternoon with her daughter; she was
deployed last year and missed the 2013
event.
Also enjoying some snow time with his
daughter was Builder 2nd Class Paul

Rainey of NMCB 3.
“She doesn’t get to be in the snow very
much,” Rainey said of his 6-year-old
daughter, Scarlett. “We’ve spent the last
three years in Hawaii.”
Chief Equipment Operator Juan Noyola
of the Naval Construction Training Center had a special moment with his son,
Noah. At just 1 year old, Noah was experiencing snow for the first time.
Jacob Munyon, installation director for
Child and Youth Programs, was pleased
with the event, which featured a live band
for the first time and partnerships with
several other base organizations, including
the Navy Exchange.
“I think all of us working together made
this event more of a success than in past
years,” he said. “It’s a great turnout.”

Rebekkah Mitre, 6, shows her mom, BU3
Loren Mitre of Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion 3, the tiny snowman she made
during Winter Wonderland Saturday, Dec.
13. The snow play areas were divided into a
youngsters’ group and another area for older
kids and teens. During breaks in snowball
fights, children made snow angels.

Santa arrives on a C-130 Sunday, Dec. 14, for Operation Holiday Gift Drop at Naval Base

some for more than six hours. The Hueneme High School Marching Band performed.

The Lighthouse

The dog days of winter arrived Wednesday, Dec. 3, as the Navy Exchange at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) threw
a Pets with Santa party.
Cats were invited, but, aloof as they are,
they never showed.
But the Golden Retriever did, along
with the poodle, the bulldog, the Husky
and the Border Collie.
And one lizard.
Each of the 30 animals posed for a
photo with Santa, an admitted dog-lover.
“I have two German Shepherds,” said
the bearded one, Alex Nungaray, whose
day job at the NEX is the soft lines division manager.
Construction Mechanic 2nd Class Brian Leird of the Naval Construction Training Center came with his 2-year-old bulldog, Django — along with his wife, Kelli,
and their year-old baby.
“We love our dog too much,” Leird confessed. “But he is our firstborn.”

“Santa’s in the air and will be landing in
20 minutes!”
A cheer went up from the hundreds of
people in line outside Hangar 34 at Naval
Base Ventura County (NBVC) Point Mugu
Sunday, Dec. 14.
The crowd was even happier when the C130 pulled up to the hangar and Santa
walked out the back, greeting youngsters
and taking his place inside the cavernous
building.
It all turned to awe as the line filtered inside and people saw the hundreds and hundreds of bags of toys and bicycles lined up,
awaiting a new home in a military family.
“A remote control car! A scooter! A football! There’s so much stuff, I’m all choked
up,” said Melanie Draper, whose husband
is Equipment Operator 1st Class Bill Draper with Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 5. She had picked up two bags, one for
5-year-old Liam and one for 3-year-old
Aiden.
“This is the second year we’ve come, and
I almost started crying last year,” Draper
said. “I can’t believe that guy did this for
us.”
“That guy” is former U.S. Rep. Elton Gallegly, who represented the base for many
years. He and a band of volunteers organize
Operation Holiday Gift Drop, spending the
entire year between Christmases collecting
toys and separating them by gender and age
group. The project started 15 years ago with
100 turkeys and has evolved into this.
This year posed a special challenge: Two
days before the event, Gallegly’s family lost
a home they own to a debris flow in Camarillo. No one was injured, but the house
is a total loss, Gallegly’s wife said.
Gallegly’s tenacity to the project astonished Capt. Larry Vasquez, commanding
officer of the base.
“The family lost a house, and here he is,
still dedicated, still here during this emotional time,” Vasquez said. “He’s still making sure our families understand the support
and love they have from the community. This
is all about saying thank you to everyone in
uniform.”
Gallegly said many people don’t understand the sacrifices military families make.
“This is simply a way to say, ‘You’re not
forgotten,’” Gallegly said.

continued efforts to reduce that rate,” said
Tang Cheng, deputy director of the Kampot Ministry of Health. “We have drastically decreased infant mortality since 2005
and look to continue that trend in Kampot
and Cambodia.”
As the Seabees and their RCAF counterparts left the ceremony for their next
project, the local community applauded in
appreciation.
The partnerships built by the detail and
the RCAF have left an impression in the
southern province that the Seabees plan to
replicate across Cambodia.
“The hospitality and warm welcome we
receive by the local communities is incredible, and these ribbon-cutting ceremonies
allow us to celebrate with those who appreciate our work the most,” said Lt. j.g.
Joseph DeMarzo, officer-in-charge of the
detail. “We are incredibly proud and honored to serve these communities and work
with our RCAF engineering counterparts.”
The Seabees of NMCB 4 plan to complete two additional bathroom facilities in
Sihanoukville and Kampot provinces before February, and they will continue to
work in partnership with RCAF Army
engineers to support U.S. Embassy initiatives to improve sanitation conditions and
maternal health care across Cambodia.

KEP, Cambodia — Seabees from Naval
Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB)
4 Detail Cambodia held ribbon-cutting
ceremonies Dec. 5 to mark the completion
of their latest two projects.
The ribbon-cutting ceremonies for a
bathroom facility at the Hun Sen Chamkar
Daung High School in Kep Province and
a two-room maternity ward at the Russey
Srok Health Clinic in Kampot recognized
two months of joint construction efforts
between the detail and Army Engineers
from the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces
(RCAF).
Julie Chung, deputy chief of mission at
the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh, and Lt.
Gen. Pen Ra, deputy commander of RCAF
Engineering Forces, attended the ceremonies, along with local residents.
The ribbon-cutting events provided the
crews and local community an opportunity to celebrate the highly anticipated
completion of the two facilities. The ceremonies highlighted the contributions of
U.S. Navy Seabees, RCAF engineers, the
U.S. Embassy and local ministries and dis-

guests with the Cambodian national anthem. Chung remarked that the new facility, which doubles the number of toilets
previously available to the school’s 850 students, meets a basic sanitation and health
need and allows the students to better focus
on their learning and personal development.
The school’s director said he was appreciative of the efforts.
“We are thankful to the American Embassy and military for the wonderful building they have provided us,” the director,
Long Sophea, said. “We promise to diligently maintain this new facility to ensure
it serves the students of Hun Sen Chamkar
Daung for years to come.”
The Seabees and VIPs then traveled to
the Russey Srok Health Center in nearby
Kampot to celebrate the newly constructed maternity ward. A live band and more
than 100 local residents greeted the entourage to show their appreciation for the
detail’s efforts.
The two-room maternity ward will improve maternal health care for 10 villages
with dedicated rooms for pre- and postnatal care. Built with innovative water
catchment and solar power systems, the
facility also provides critical utilities needed by the ward.
“Infant mortality in Cambodia is
amongst the highest in the world, and this

“We have to ensure the Navy can complete its mission without disturbing the
natural or cultural resources there,” said
Dan Shide, NBVC’s environmental program manager.
That means mapping and characterizing
existing sites, preserving sensitive items
when possible and within the guidelines
of the National Historic Preservation Act,
and cataloging any items removed from
the layers of sediment that comprise SNI.
To accomplish these tasks, Navy scientists
from NBVC and Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division often enlist the assistance of contractors or students from
local colleges.
California State University Los Angeles
(CSULA) has long operated an archaeology field school, which visits SNI in the
summer to assist with keeping track of
and preserving the many historic and prehistoric sites on the island.
In September, students with the field
school helped update island maps using
GPS and marking existing archaeological
sites of interest. The project will help inform how future project growth is executed at SNI.
“Some of them have been working on
projects related to SNI but had never set
