Old clothes: Give away or not give away?
By Sarah Smiley
Special Contributor
There's only one thing worse
than the thought of trying
on old clothes that you wore
10 years and 20 pounds ago. That
being, of course, actually trying on
old clothes that you wore 10 years
and 20 pounds ago. My closet is filled
with every size from 2 to 14, thanks
to my previous stages of pregnancy,
postpartum, youth and motherhood
(although not necessarily in that
order).
I'm not dumb. I know I will never
fit into a size 2 again and yet I hang
on to a dozen dresses that look like
they could fit a large cat, because it
gives me a sick feeling of happiness to
see them and realize that I once wore
those tiny dresses, some of them even
while I was six-months pregnant with
my first child.
I hang on to the larger dresses for
the same reason--that I'm not dumb.
I know I will likely wear them again.
But I never try on any dress from
either end of the spectrum. The pha
rmaceutical companies haven't pro-
duced enough Xanax to get me into
the dress I wore on the first date with
my husband.
It is emotionally damaging enough
just to see the dress with its telling
layer of dust on the shoulders. I can
hold the dress up by its hanger and
actually feel the way the darts on the
bust would reduce my chest to one big
uni-boob and the A-line skirt would
look more like an A with an apple
stuck inside of it.
No, I don't want to try these dress-
es on. I just want to know they are
there.
Last week, when Dustin and I were
cleaning out our closet, getting our
house ready for the market in prepa-
ration for our transfer to Maine, we
came across a rack full of Dustin's old
uniforms. Some of them were from his
days at the Naval Academy.
"You're not keeping those, are you?"
I said.
"What, you don't think they'll fit
me?" he asked.
It's true that Dustin's body has
changed significantly less than mine
in the ten years that we've been mar-
ried. He has not, after all, had an
eight-pound human being inside
him. Nonetheless, I knew that his
old white uniform pants wouldn't fit
him anymore than my wedding dress
would still fit me.
"No, I don't think they will fit you,"
I said. "Put them in the give-away
pile."
"Give-away? These aren't give-
aways," he said. "I always need uni-
form pants."
"You need uniform pants that fit."
"Well, I think these will fit just
fine," Dustin said, and he started
unbuckling his pants.
I realized then that males appar-
ently are not equipped with the same
sense that women have for judging
how many seams they will bust when
they attempt to put on old clothes.
Dustin, God love him, really thought
he could fit into those pants. Once
he squeezed himself into them, how-
ever, the fabric was so tight, the hems
drew up to about five inches above his
ankles. His rear end was flattened
like a pancake and his stomach was
pushed out of the waistband, like
toothpaste coming out of a tube.
He looked like fat Elvis.
HEY MONEYMANI
Hey MoneyMan!
My mother is a widow
and lives off of her social
security. She is having a
tough time getting by these
days. I would like to help,
but I have am married with
two kids and I don't make
very much money as an E-
5.
My mother has lived in
her house for a long time
and she does not have a
mortgage. She really does
not want to sell her home,
but we are running out of
options. I am her only son
and she is asking me to
support her so she does not
have to move. Any sugges-
tions?
MoneyMan Sez:
Many elderly citizens
get caught in this trap.
Not enough cash flow to
meet living expenses, but
no desire to sell the family
home.
One idea you may want
to consider is a reverse
mortgage. These mortgages
are designed to help older
homeowners make use of
ooo
the equity in their homes
without requiring them to
move.
If your mother is over 62,
she may take out a loan
against the equity in the
home. She could take the
money in a lump sum, as a
line of credit to use when
needed, or as regular pay-
ments.
Remember that all mort-
gages cost money and a
reverse mortgage is no dif-
ferent. Upon your mother's
passing, if the home is sold,
the reverse mortgage must
be repaid with the proceeds
or repayment must begin by
you if you inherit the home.
Be sure to thoroughly
research reverse mortgages
before deciding which one to
choose. Some reverse mort-
gages are very expensive
with high upfront costs and
very high interest rates.
More questions? Call
Hey MoneyMan at 778-
0353.
"See, they fit great," Dustin said.
Oh, but it gets worse. He continued
to try on old uniform pants, including
ones that were the same size as the
first unsuccessful pair. Each time, he
thought he looked great.
Then we found a photo album from
when were dating. We were shocked
at how young we looked. The kids
heard us laughing and came to see.
"Look at dad," they howled, pointing
at the pictures. "He was so skinny!
And look at all the hair he had!"
I reached over and squeezed
Dustin's shoulder. "We've changed a
lot," I said, "but I think I like us bet-
ter now."
He agreed.
The next day, Dustin put all of his
old uniform pants in a bag and took
them to work to give away. He was
braver than I am to try on his old
clothes, even braver still to take them
to his peers and admit they don't fit.
But he did make one big mistake.
He gave away all his old clothes and
didn't save one to hang in the back
of the closet. You know what that
means. Now his medium pants will
become the smallest items in his clos-
et, and because those fit even just a
little, he'll always think he can have
another slice of pie and a second help-
ing of spaghetti. And then someday,
those pants won't fit him either.
Just as you might leave one dead
ant on the floor as a warning for all
his ant friends, you always leave at
least one piece of thin clothes in your
closet.
But you never ever try it on.

CNATTU instructors lead Hoops & Dreams
program at Mandarin Middle School
By AEC Raymond Derrick .
CNATTU Jax PAO
Instructors at Center
for Naval Aviation
Technical Training Unit
(CNATTU) Jacksonville are
actively leading the "Hoops
& Dreams" program at
Mandarin Middle School.
A number of instruc-
tors are volunteering time
to support the after school
program that unites active
duty Sailors and Marines
with local kids at the
school. The objective of the
program is to use the game
of basketball as a fun way
for kids to be mentored by
active duty service mem-
bers.
The groundwork for
the program was laid by
CNATTU staff members,
SK1 Adrian Guillory and
AZ2 Aaron Carney, who
teamed up with teach-
ers Shiana Barbosa and
Christine McLendon at the
school.
The program was origi-
nally designed to help stu-
dents with special needs
create a path that would
lead them to achieve their
goals, dreams, and suc-
cess in education through a
physical activity, but now is
open to all students.
Using an organized sport
as the main building block,
the instructors are able to
better teach kids the skills
of team building and cama-
raderie.
Heading up the program
is AE 1 Willie Hopkins, or
Coach "Hop" as the kids'
call him, other volunteers/
mentors are: AEC Craig
Sinclair, AO1 Lawana
Whiteside, AD2 Kelvin
Jones, AD2 LeRoy Favroth,
Sgt. Jones and Cpl Towns.
Every Tuesday afternoon
the volunteers head out
to mentor and play hoops
with the kids. The volun-
teers let the kids know they
are cared about and have
grown-up friends willing
to take the time and effort

Hopkins actively promotes and leads.
to teach them how to make
their dreams a reality.
Thanks to Coach "Hop"
and all the volunteers, the
students have positive role
models and mentors on
and off the court, which
also keeps them busy after
school.
The volunteers also work
with students who have
parents serving in the
military who are currently
deployed or may have lost a
family member.
The instructors involved
with the program use their
knowledge and experience
learned from life and the
military to help them show
these kids how to prepare
for success in life.
Walking down the halls
at Mandarin Middle clear-
ly shows that the program
is a big success for the
school. The walls are deco-
rated with poster and let-
ters made by the students
about the program which
indicates the program and
volunteers are making a
difference.
When the kids participat-
ing in the program were
asked what they thought
about the Hoops & Dreams
program, there was no
shortage of answers. "This
is the only day of the week
I look forward to coming to
school!" "We love our men-
tors." "My grades are bet-
ter now because I can't play
if I don't make the grade."
"We love Coach J, Hop, and
Sinclair." "We are happy
there is a girl mentor out
here, too." "The Marines
rule!" "We love the Navy
and Marine Corps!" These
were just some of the
answers the children came
up with.
Barbosa, a learning spe-
cialist and retired Marine
at Mandarin Middle com-
mented on the program and
volunteers. "Whether teach-
ing the students or dealing
one-on-one, respect, fair-
ness, commitment and love
are some of the qualities
the volunteers teach and
represent to the kids. No
one could ask for more from
these volunteers, because
they truly give it their all,"
she said.
"I would like to personal-
ly thank everyone involved,
but send a special note of
gratitude to Coach "Hop"
for taking the initiative and
having the leadership to
make the program a true
success this year. You have
truly made a difference in
the children's lives. Semper
Fi," she continued.
The students under-
stand their mentors are not
forced to come out to the
school and that they choose
to spend time with them
instead of going home to
their own families.
For the students to see
their mentors make these
sacrifices, it helps them to
understand the volunteers
truly care and want to be
involved with their lives.
If you have been think-
ing about volunteering time
with a child please do not
hesitate. It only requires
a little of your time to get
involved with a youth pro-
gram in your community.
Teaming up with one has
never been easier and help
is always needed. The chil-
dren of today are the future
of tomorrow.

345th Combat Support Hospital
starts post-mobilization training
By 1st Lt. Marvin Baker
120th Infantry Brigade Public Affairs Officer
First Army Division West
After nearly a year of training and prepara-
tion, the Soldiers of the 345th Combat Support
Hospital arrived at North Fort Hood, Texas
April 6 to begin a 24-day post-mobilization training
regimen under the guidance of the 120th Infantry
Brigade, First Army Division West.
Division West is responsible for conducting post-
mobilization training for National Guard and Army
Reserve units and conducts its training using the the-
ater immersion concept, which puts Soldiers in a simu-
lated combat environment throughout their training
period. Afterwards, First Army Division West certifies
the unit's readiness for combat.
"The mobilization of the 345th CSH (a Florida Army
Reserve unit), has been somewhat of an experiment,"
said Capt. Cindy Schneider, B Company commander.
"In the past, units like the 345th spent some 120
days at a mobilization site. The Army Reserve Medical
Command's goal for the 345th is less than 40 days con-
ducting post-mobilization training. In order to meet
that goal, the unit's Soldiers spent much of last year
earning medical training certifications, completing mili-
tary occupational schools, and testing those skills dur-
ing two-week training exercises," Schneider said.
"We started last June. Army Reserve Medical
Command wanted to decrease medical unit's time at
military training centers. That's a good thing because
it gives us more time at home before we deploy," she
continued.
In June, the unit spent two weeks in South Dakota
at the Joint Thunder training exercises, two weeks at
the Joint Readiness Training Center in La., in October
and several days recently at Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif.
conducting weapons' training and foreign language
training.
The on and off again active duty training status for
the unit's Soldiers kept them busy and caused some to
quickly rearrange their own goals.
"In my civilian job, I am a clinical nurse educator at a
hospital. Before we were alerted, I was working slowly
toward earning my masters degree. After the deploy-
ment alert, I rearranged my schedule and completed
my degree in December," Schneider said.
Schneider and her fellow Soldiers will start working
on completing their final training requirements before
they deploy.
"Now that we are finished with all of the pre-mobili-
zation training, I think most of us are relieved to finally
be in one place where we can focus on our jobs here and
look forward to our mission overseas," said Schneider.

Real friends make our hearts their home
By Chaplain
(Lt. Cmdr.) A.T. Taylor
Special Contributor
Some of our best expe-
riences in life are
those shared with
friends. The difficulty for
many people is that the
frequency of those joyous
moments hinge on one's
ability to distinguish a
true friend from a social
acquaintance.
Steven Ambrose describes
this rare and elusive
human commodity this
way. "Friendships are dif-
ferent from all other rela-
tionships. Unlike acquain-
tanceship, friendship is
based on love. Unlike lov-
ers and married couples, it
is free of jealousy. Unlike
children and parents, it
knows neither criticism nor
resentment. Friendship has
no status in law. Business
partnerships are based on
a contract. So is marriage.
Parents are bound by the
law. But friendships are
freely entered into, freely
given, and freely exercised."
If one's own views share
an affinity with the preced-
ing definition, then it would
be safe to say that a genu-
ine friend is not only one
CHAPLAIN'S CORNER
with whom
we spend
quality time,
they also
occupy an
important
place in our
hearts. They
are loyal,
understand-
ing, moti-
vating, and
eager to
share and
inspire us
to unself-
ishly give
up some of
Chaplain
(Lt. Cmdr.) Atticus Taylor
our personal
space. While it is true that
a friend may also be some-
one that you might grow
to fall in love with, this is
generally regarded as a
potentially risky step in the
wrong direction.
That said, one still has
to admit that choosing a
friend as a lover is quite
tempting, however, experi-
ence has shown that friends
unlike lovers or mates are
usually more willing to be
empathetic when deeply
offended or
if betrayed.
As stated in
the words
of Dou g
Larson, "A
true friend
is one who
overlooks
your failures
and tolerates
your suc-
cesses." Not
only is this
type of treat-
ment uncom-
mon between
spouses, fam-
ily members
may also regard a sibling's
faults as an embarrassment
to the whole clan or their
achievements as an attempt
to magnify everyone else's
short comings."
As strange as it may
seem, the fundamental
advantage that friends
share over all the rest
resulting in preventing irre-
versible damage to the elas-
ticity of emotional bonds is
a genuine version of human
love. Lois Smith Brady
appears to support this
claim, as she states, "Real
love, I have learned, is a
very strong form of forgive-
ness." A point is also under-
scored in Proverbs 17:17,
which says, "A friend loves
at all times, and a brother
is born for adversity."
To summarize the mat-
ter, we must first be care-
ful to accurately distin-
guish those with whom we
become acquainted based
on a brief social encounter
through either employment
or an unusual set of circum-
stances, and a relationship
that developed over time
under a variety of person-
al situations. Secondly, it
may not always be prudent
to jeopardize a well-suited
friendship by incorporat-
ing additional emotional
responsibilities; sometimes
it is better to leave well
enough alone. It appears
that a great deal of what
was said in the previous
comments owes its origin
to the writer of Proverbs
again, who said "A man
of many companions may
come to ruin, but there is
a friend who sticks closer
than a brother." [Proverbs
18:24]
CNRSE Human Resources Office wins top award
By MC2(AW/SW) Marcel
Barbeau
Region Southeast Public Affairs
The Commander,
Navy Region South-
east (CNRSE) Hu-
man Resources Office
was presented with the
Conflict Management and
Mediation Model award last
week at the Department
of the Navy's (DoN)
Human Resources-Equal
Employment Opportunity
Worldwide Conference
2008 in Atlanta.
CNRSE was among 11
human resource
offices to be
recognized
throughout the
Navy.
In 1999, the Navy
developed the Alternative
Dispute Resolution (ADR)
program to increase infor-
mal resolution of workplace
grievances. It was also
designed to enhance team
building and communica-
tion between managers and
employees.
"This shows the progress
that our office is taking to
promote the ADR program
throughout the South-
east Region," said LeKesia
Hawkins, ADR coordinator
for CNRSE.
"We are able to resolve
complaints and get people

U.S. Fleet Forces
Command addresses
safety issues
By MC1 Amy Kirk
Fleet Public Affairs Center Atlantic
A dm. Jonathan Greenert, commander, U.S. Fleet
Forces Command, recently recorded a pod-
cast to inform Sailors about safety, addressing
Navy leadership's role and personal responsibility.
With the critical days of summer approaching,
Greenert stressed that command leadership must
continue to emphasize Operational Risk Management
(ORM) both on and off duty.
"Operational Risk Management is not just a tool for
Sailors to use at work," said Greenert. "We've got to
use it all the time."
Greenert said practicing ORM was as easy as
"ABCD": Assess your situation, Balance resources,
Communicate and Do what you plan.
He also encouraged Sailors to access the Naval
Safety Center Web site. "We've got great tools at the
Naval Safety Center Web site risk assessment guides,
activity checklists and there is TRIPS Online," he said.
"It is very helpful for leave and liberty planning."
Greenert also said that Sailors should be sharing
these tools and the entire ORM concept with their
families, especially during the summer months when
there are more outdoor activities.
With warmer weather on the way and an increase in
outdoor activity, Greenert noted that there was usual-
ly an increase in alcohol use and Sailors who choose to
drink should do so responsibly."We've had a number of
DUIs this year. So, we need to pay close attention and
understand our limits and the risks," said Greenert.
He cautioned Sailors that "buzz" driving, when a
person has had only one or two drinks, is also wrong.
"We all need to be aware of our surroundings and be
aware of the risks and what our options are," contin-
ued Greenert.
Finally, Greenert addressed motorcycle and recre-
ational vehicle safety saying that leadership needs
to know who in their commands drive these types of
vehicles and make sure they have the proper training
and licenses.
"Unfortunately, you just don't hear about many
motorcycle accidents that are minor," said Greenert.
"They all tend to be a major event."
In closing, Greenert added that he continues to be
amazed by the Sailors he meets during his visits to the
fleet.
"I am impressed, and I am encouraged," said
Greenert. "I am astounded by the generations of folks
willing to give so much service to our nation and ask
for so little."

Former
Navy Band
Southeast
member
hitting the
charts
By Kaylee LaRocque
Editor
Last year, MU3 Phil Stacey of Navy Band Southeast
tried out the popular reality show American Idol
after a friend convinced him to audition. With the
approval of his command, he headed to Memphis, Tenn.
and gave it his best shot. He was selected as one of the
top 100. While it was a great achievement for Stacey, the
timing was a bit complicated as his wife, Kendra, was
due to give birth to their second child.
Although Stacey told the producers he couldn't audition
at the time, Kendra persuaded him to follow his dream
and go. Of course, as fate would have it, the day he audi-
tioned, baby, McKayla entered the world and he missed
her birth.
Eventually, Stacey made it to the top six before he was
voted off. After coming home to Jacksonville, he later
participated in the American Idol tour and completed his
military obligations. After getting out of the Navy, Stacey
and his family moved to Nashville so he could pursue his
singing career.
Today, he is a member of the Navy Reserves, serving
as a mass communication specialist, because there are no
Navy musician rates in the Reserves.
"Last week, I was in Millington drilling. It's a nice
change of pace from my normal lifestyle now. It's going
back and doing something in my comfort zone and being
in an environment that I'm familiar with," he said enthu-
siastically.
"I had to switch jobs and since a lot of what I was doing
was public relations when I was on American Idol, this
is what they gave me. I do a lot of publicity for the Navy
through interviews and singing with Navy Bands during
special events. And, if I get deployed, I'll go like anyone
else. I love the Navy and staying involved in the Navy."

Phil Stacey is currently promoting his first album, including the
single, If You Didn't Love Me, which is climbing the charts.
When he's not promoting the Navy, Stacey is promoting
his self-titled debut album which was released this week.
It features his debut single, If You Didn't Love Me, which
is currently climbing the country charts. He also shot
his first music video for the single which also includes a
cameo by Kendra.
He's also achieved one of his biggest dreams perform-
ing on the Grand Ole Opry and Carnegie Hall stages. "My
grandmother drove in to watch me debut on Opry because
she's been listening to the program since the 1930s. It was
absolutely a dream come true," remarked Stacey.
Stacey went on to explain how astonished he is at how
his life has changed since auditioning for American Idol.
"It's been a very, very amazing year. My wife and I are
just storing up the memories so we can talk about when
we're sipping hot tea in our rocking chairs when we're 90.
We feel we're very blessed and that we're here for a reason
and can hopefully touch people's hearts through music,"
he continued. "I'm just enjoying the ride and it's just
weird. I have a record out this week and a video on TV
that's doing really well and I've got a single that's doing
pretty good on the radio. It's strange to turn on the radio
and hear your song."
The son of a preacher, Stacey grew up singing gospel

music which is his first love. When he arrived at Navy
Band Southeast, he quickly adapted to being the lead
singer of the rock band "Pride." "We had a rigorous sched-
ule when I was with the Navy Band, sometimes doing
three rock concerts a day, six days a week. It prepared me
for what I'm doing now. I do anywhere from three to seven
shows a day, six days a week. And, you learn to be consid-
erate of your band members when you travel with them
so much. I've got a great relationship with my band now
because of the time I spent with the Navy Band in Jax."
So what's Stacey's advice to other Sailors looking to
makes their dreams come true? "I encourage anyone who
has something they want to do, to just do it. If you are
a singer, it doesn't necessarily take Americal Idol or a
recording contract to fulfill those dreams, just do what you
love. Follow your heart and go on the journey. Take the
turns that you are scared to take that may lead you off the
path of the mundane. You've already done that by joining
the Navy," he said.
While Stacey's career is taking off with his new-found
fame as a country singer, being home in Nashville with
Kendra and his daughters, 5-year-old Chloe and 19-
month-old McKayla. "I can't believe how fast my children
are growing up. Time goes by so fast. I am so blessed to
have such a great family and to be able to be doing what I
love playing my music."

NavHosp Jax holds EFMP Conference
Program geared
toward special needs
family reps
By Marsha Childs
NHJ Marketing
N aval Hospital Jacksonville host-
ed its first Exceptional Family
Member Program (EFMP)
Conference April 10 for 28 Navy and
Marine Corps Southeast Regional
Command EFMP representatives.
The EFMP is designed to provide com-
prehensive and coordinated medical, edu-
cational, community and personnel sup-
port to active duty military families with
special needs.
Naval Hospital Jax EFMP Coordinator
and conference organizer Galya Taborn
was very pleased with the feedback from
attendees. She said, "Overall, it was a
great success. It was very well received
and the participants learned a lot. It was
very helpful, especially since some of them
were new to the EFMP field and had not
had any prior training."
Taborn, who provided much of the
training, explained the operational Navy
requirement for every command to desig-
nate and train an EFMP representative.
"It is essential for regional EFMP points of
contact to be well trained and familiar with
local resources to better serve this special
needs population," she said.
Regional EFMP representatives gained
a better understanding of their role in edu-
cating and assisting service members who
have family members with long-term medi-
cal, mental and/or special education needs.
The reps were provided an overview of
the program including eligibility, program
benefits, the enrollment process, detailing
requirements and community resources.
Office of Chief of Naval Personnel Policy
Analyst and EFMP Manager Marcia
Hagood provided information on updated
policies, newly developed initiatives and

reinforced the importance of building a
strong regional EFMP network.
Naval Hospital Jax Career Counselor
HMC Lori Curtis explained the detailing
requirements for a sponsor's humanitar-
ian assignment. This ensures the military
sponsor's duty station, whether serving
stateside or overseas, is located, whenever
possible, in an area where the family mem-
ber's needs may be met, while still meeting
the mission of the Navy.
The EFMP program has been extreme-
ly successful in minimizing fewer early
returns, unnecessary family separations,
saving families and the Navy money and
best of all improving the quality of life.
NCC Lejune Chute, the NAS Jacksonville
EFMP representative, attended the confer-
ence. She said, "I thought the training was
outstanding and I would love to see more
of it. I would like to see more people take
EFMP seriously."
Naval Hospital Jacksonville is offering
the free training to all Navy and Marine
Corps EFMP representatives. The next
class is scheduled at the hospital July 16
in the second deck conference room from 8
a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information about
the program, upcoming classes or to regis-
ter, contact Taborn at 542-7348.

'Be Food Safe'
helps prevent
foodborne illness
By Kevin Robinson
Defense Commissary Agency
Clean, separate, cook and chill: A new twist on an
old message will be rolling out to commissary
customers as part of "Be Food Safe," a new gov-
ernment-sponsored program to help prevent foodborne
illnesses in the home.
"Be Food Safe" brings the Defense Commissary
Agency (DeCA) and 27 commercial retail grocery chains
together in participating with the Partnership for Food
Safety Education and its government liaisons the
U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and U.S. Center for Disease Control and
Prevention. The goal is to help consumers become more
aware of proper food-handling measures in the home, said
Rick Page, DeCA's acting director.
"If you take a moment to practice 'Be Food Safe's' four
simple guidelines and read the instructions on the product
label, you can dramatically reduce your chances of getting
a foodborne illness," Page said. "When our customers visit
any of our stores or the DeCA Web site, http://commissar-
ies.com, they will see information to help them keep their
food safe."
To help introduce this yearlong campaign to its custom-
ers, DeCA will begin to unveil a series of posters, flyers,
circular ads and informational brochures that echo the
four core food safety practices of clean, separate, cook and
chill:
Clean Frequent cleaning can reduce spread of bacte-
ria on hands, cutting boards, knives and kitchen counter-
tops. Always wash hands with warm water and soap for
20 seconds before and after handling food.
Separate To avoid cross-contamination by bacteria,
keep raw meat, poultry and seafood and their juices away
from ready-to-eat foods.
Cook Improper heating and preparation can allow
bacteria to survive. Use a thermometer to ensure food is
safely prepared according to the product's cooking instruc-
tions.
Chill By chilling food properly, you can reduce the
risk of foodborne illness. Bacteria spread fastest at tem-
peratures between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
"The lessons of 'Be Food Safe' are not new," said Col.
Perry Chumley, DeCA's director public health, safety and
security. "However, what is new is the public's growing
concern about food safety."
"A growing number of people view food-related illness as
a serious threat to their health," he said. "This program
reinforces' information we have promoted all along such
as reading the warning labels that show you how to safely
cook your meat products."
Chumley also said that throughout the year customers
will periodically see commissaries demonstrating proper
food-handling steps. Customers can learn more by visiting

IA LUNCH: Navy League, NAS Jax recognize augmentees
From Page 1
"With more than 100
years of experience, we
think we're pretty good at
explaining why America
needs a Navy and what
Sailors are doing every
day to defend our freedom
and prosperity," stated
McGrath.
"At least we thought we
were pretty good at doing
that until the global war on
terror and ongoing conflicts
in Iraq and Afghanistan
fundamentally changed
the way our Sailors are
employed today," he con-
tinued. "Even as a vision-
ary and expeditionary as
that old Rough Rider Teddy
Roosevelt was I don't think
he would ever have imag-
ined enginemen negotiat-
ing construction contracts
in Afghanistan or yeoman
controlling logistics in
Djibouti."
"The IA program has
presented some very differ-
ent challenges to that sup-
port system many of which
the Navy is still grappling
with. That's why the Navy
League is so pleased to be
able to provide financial
and other support to make
events like this appre-
ciation luncheon possible,"
added McGrath.
"This first IA recognition
is one of the most impor-
tant things we are doing
this year. IAs go over there
alone, then they come home
alone and go back to their
units. When a battle group
goes, there are big celebra-
tions and the air groups
have their fly-ins, but the
IAs just come home and
that's not right," he said.
"The sacrifices they and
their families give up are
tremendous."
During the event, each IA
was presented with a spe-
cial plaque for their accom-
plishments while fighting
the war on terror.
OS (SW) Sandra
Pastrana of Commander,
Patrol and Reconnaissance
Wing Eleven, one of the
155 IAs at the event said,
"This is really an honor to
be here today. When you
come home you get a nice
welcome from your family
but it's even better know-
ing that your command and
the Navy supports you. The
plaque I received today is
really nice and will go on
my 'I love me wall' when I
retire in two years."
"I am an operations spe-
cialist but when I volun-
teered for my IA assign-
ment, I ended up working
as a military police officer
in Kuwait something
totally different from what
I do every day," continued
Pastrana.
"It was exciting and chal-
PREVENT: Turning knowledge into power
From the PREVENT office
There has been a lot of talk over
the years about the importance of
"knowledge" in our daily lives. There
have been many sayings, slogans, mottos
and statements about the subject. Among
these are "a little knowledge is danger-
ous" or "all knowledge is derived from
experience". Probably the most commonly
used expression these days is "Knowledge
is Power". This suggests that the more
learning and education we have the better
(more powerful) a person we will be.
Gaining knowledge alone does not neces-
sarily increase a tendency toward wisdom,
intelligence, savvy, doing the right thing
or even changing one's behavior. Turning
knowledge into power requires action by
the Sailor.
The Personal Responsibility Values and
Education Training (PREVENT) Program
is based in this concept of turning knowl-
edge into power in both its design and
practice. The course targets our youngest
and most vulnerable personnel in the 18-
26 age group and covers areas of substance
use/abuse, interpersonal relations, physical
and mental well being, and finance.
Participants are asked first to assess
their own information, beliefs and values
regarding these areas and then to evaluate
their current behaviors. The question they
are encouraged to ask themselves is; "Does
my current behavior reflect who I really
believe I am and what the Navy expects
of me?" In other words, have I turned
the knowledge I have into the power that
allows me to always demonstrate honor,
courage and commitment? If the answer
to this question is "no," the participant is
encouraged to create action plans that will
change or modify those behaviors that are
not matching with their personal and pro-
fessional readiness.
PREVENT classes are scheduled weekly
on NAS Jacksonville and NS Mayport and
upon request for NSB Kings Bay, deployed
ships and all other Navy Commands in
the Southeast Region. Contact the NAS
Jacksonville PREVENT office for more
information at 542-2526, DSN 942-2526
or email: jean.oconnor@navy.mil or go to
www.preventonline.org.
lenging and I'm so glad
that I went and have such
a wonderful husband sup-
porting me. He took care
of everything when I was
gone including our three-
year-old," she continued as
her husband, Donald Acacia
looked on proudly.
As the IAs gathered for
the luncheon, a special
slide show displayed photos
of them on their IA assign-
ments bringing back many
memories as they remi-
nisced about their time in
the war zone.

job is a little different when
we deploy because we actu-
ally go out and search for
bombs and at any given
moment something could go
off. We were usually given
three days notice for a mis-
sion which was usually a
house or vehicle that could
be rigged to blow. Nnick
and I were always the first
ones up and then the teams
went in if it was clear," said

ed for anything. I learned
a few things that I would
not have learned if I hadn't
gone to Iraq and I got to
see a different perspec-
tive on the war," explained
AD2 Eric Thompson of VR-
58 who was assigned to
Navy Provisional Detainee
Battalion Three at Camp
Bucca in Iraq.
"I worked side-by-side
with the Army on the mis-
sion and met a few new
friends that I might not
have ever had the chance to
work with before. Working
and watching each other's
backs creates a bond," he
stated.
Many of the IAs spouse's
were also recognized dur-
ing the luncheon for their
support.
"I think this luncheon
is fantastic and I appre-
ciate them honoring the
Sailors and their families,"
said Jubette Chan, wife
of Lt. Michael Chan of Air
Operations.
"What kept me strong
was my faith, the support
of my community, as well
as the military family. My
children were very excited
about my husband serving
in Iraq despite all of the
negativity," she said. "It
was important that they
knew their father was there
to not only to protect our
country, but to help anoth-
er nation in need. For me, I
felt very proud that he was
there and he was able to
come home safe."

The power of attorney: Its use and abuse
By Lt. Candice Albright,
JAGC, USN
Special Contributor
One of the most popular
documents generated by
Navy Legal Assistance
office is the power of attorney
(POA).
Numerous clients come to our
office seeking this document,
with the best of intentions to plan
ahead for the future, either for a
deployment, a permanent change
of station or because of health
issues. It is important to make
sure your family, property and
finances are in good hands while
you are unable to manage these
affairs yourself.
While a POA can be a useful
tool, it can be a misused tool.
Preventing the abuse of a POA is
up to you.
There are two types of POAs:
general and special. If you give
your agent a general power of
attorney, you have authorized
that person to do almost anything
you could do yourself. For exam-
ple, this list of authorized activi-
ties includes the ability to pay
bills, open a new credit card, or
sign your name to a contract.
Your local legal assistance
office should ask you questions
to ensure that you understand
the importance of the document
and that you do indeed intend to
grant the broad powers found in
such a document.
The special POA is your other
option. This type of document is
strict in its language and autho-
rizes your agent to do only a
specific act or handle a specific
matter. Examples include special
POAs to use and register your car
or to ship your household goods.
The special POA is shorter and
clearly limits what the agent can
do. There are a variety of special
POAs that cover common needs
and situations.
Why grant a special POA, rather
than a general POA? Because our
offices have seen first hand too
many cases where general POAs
were abused by an agent that the
grantor thought they could trust.
This abuse often results from the
grantor exercising authority well
beyond the expectations and the
intentions of the grantor, the ser-
vice member. Classic examples
of abuse of a POA involve the
purchase of a large ticket item
not planned for in the family bud-
get. Another example of abuse
would be the angry spouse using
the general POA to clean out the
bank account before leaving the
service member.
Such abuse of these documents
is especially tempting to the
agent with poor credit who can
use the POA to get a co-singer on
a loan for which individually, and
without the help of a cosigner, the
attorney-in-fact would not qual-
ify. The result of this scenario is
that the servicemember is then
financially liable on the loan if
the agent defaults. Of course, you
cannot rely on businesses or orga-
nizations to screen out such abuse
when a POA is presented. They
have no obligation to do so. The
responsibility is yours to ensure
that the individual to whom you
grant a POA is trustworthy.
If you are considering grant-
ing a POA, we encourage you to
discuss your options with your
local legal assistance office. We
all trust our spouses, family mem-
bers and friends to act in our best
interest, however, sometimes they
may not do so. The old saying is
true here: an ounce of prevention
is worth a pound of cure.

2565, Ext. 3006.

Insurance: Are you covered?
By Beth Wilson
Special Contributor
Monica, a Navy spouse,
sat across the table sip-
ping tea and recounting
the details of her car accident.
Monica's car was struck by some-
one who ran a red light, hitting
her on the passenger side. She
was knocked unconscious and
the 'jaws-of-life' was required to
free her from the wreckage. "The
accident was bad enough," she
states, "but the real nightmare
began with the insurance compa-
nies."
Monica and her husband
learned that the insurance levels
the state may require in order to
operate a vehicle may be inad-
equate when you are in an acci-
dent and they were underinsured.
Monica and her husband reduced
their insurance coverage from
'comprehensive' or full cover-
age to 'collision' to save money.
Unfortunately in this situation,
the gentleman who hit Monica,
while evidently insured, fled the
country. His insurance company
has not been about to resolve the
SPOUSE'S PERSPECTIVE
pending insur-
ance claim in
his absence.
Her insur-
ance coverage
was inadequate.
Their policy AWL
did not provide
for coverage of
their own prop-
erty or losses,
only for the
losses of others. .
Monica and her ; ..
husband had \'." '
just arrived at ,
their new duty ..
station and she ,
had not found BethI
a job yet. As a
junior enlisted couple, they were
not in a position to just purchase
another vehicle, but that is what
they were forced to do.
Unfortunately her story isn't
unique. Many of us are looking
for ways to reduce our living
expenses and cut costs. Insurance
is not neces-
sarily the best
place to accom-
plish that. June
Walbert, finan-
cial specialist at
USAA, encour-
ages couples to
consider if they
can absorb the
cost of being
underinsured.
In Monica's
case, they had
no vehicle, no
resources and
were forced to
use their Thrift
Savings Plan
to purchase a
.' .. : ( i, 2
** \'.^
" ,;
Wilson
vehicle.
How much insurance is enough?
Walbert reminds us that insur-
ance is about risk management.
Accidents happen and we want
to manage our risks. Having
adequate insurance while it may
appear optional really isn't. In
light of today's prices June recom-
mends the following as a rule of
thumb for car insurance: Bodily
injury coverage (to cover injuries
sustained in an accident deemed
your fault); maintain $100,000
per person and $300,000 per inci-
dent. Property damage (paid to
others for damages sustained
deemed your fault) maintain
$100,000 in coverage. Uninsured/
underinsured motorist coverage
would have helped Monica's situ-
ation.
Your coverage levels should
be equal to what you carry on in
bodily injury; $100,000 per per-
son/$300,000 per incident. Note,
this is what will cover you in
the event you are in an accident
involving an uninsured/underin-
sured motorist. In addition, con-
sider Personal Injury Protection
to cover any lost wages or other
medical expenses you may need
covered for you. Finally, it is
worth adding towing, labor, and
rental reimbursement to your
policy. This coverage at these
levels will help make sure that
you are covered and out of pocket
expenses are minimal. The cost of
insurance can be managed by the
amount of deductible you choose.
Your deductible is the amount of
money you pay before your insur-
ance begins to pay. A deductible
can be as low as $250. By choosing
a higher deductible, $500 or even
$1,000, you will see your insur-
ance premiums drop. But before
opting for that higher deductible
assess your current financial sit-
uation. Do you have savings in
place to cover that deductible? If
your financial picture is already
tight, perhaps you are paying off
debtload, a higher deductible may
not be the right choice till your
financial picture is improved. It
may cost a few dollars more now
but will save a $1,000 car repair
bill that you may not be able to
afford.
Monica found not all insur-
ance policies are the same and
the minimums required by state
law do not necessarily provide the
protection we need. Take time to
shop around, comparing rates and
coverage.

TRICARE builds strong behavioral health support
From the TRICARE
Management Activity
The TRICARE Management
Activity (TMA) contin-
ues to improve a strong
behavioral health care system
by launching many initiatives to
assist service members, families,
health care providers and mili-
tary leaders.
Results from U.S. participation
in the global war on terrorism
prompted TRICARE to develop
these initiatives with a wide
range of additional educational
tools, resources and assistance
programs. Beneficiaries are using
these tools to recognize signs of
stress, depression, post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD), substance
abuse and more. They're getting
help locating a health care pro-
vider, learning about symptoms
or supporting a loved one dealing
with a diagnosis.
Most recently, the Behavioral
Health Provider Locator and
Appointment Assistance Service
began in all U.S. TRICARE
regions for active duty service
members and their enrolled fam-
ily members who need help locat-
ing and making appointments
with behavioral health care pro-
viders. Beneficiaries call one
regional phone number where a
representative will help find a
provider or assist with making an
appointment.
The toll-free numbers are: West
Region, (866) 651-4970; North
Region, (877) 747-9579; and
South Region (877) 298-3514.
Hours vary according to region.
TRICARE provides resourc-
es and information regarding
behavioral health benefits on the
Mental Health and Behavior Web
page at www.tricare.mil/myben-
efit/ProfileFilter.do?puri=%2Fho
me% 2FMentalHealthAndBehavi
or. Here, beneficiaries can access
information on conditions, provid-
ers, treatments and learn how to
get care. A new section on the site
can help with suicide prevention.
TRICARE is also proactively
educating non-active duty benefi-
ciaries on the self-referral option
through newsletter articles, bul-
letins and press releases. This
option allows TRICARE Prime
family members and retirees to
receive the first eight private sec-
tor outpatient behavioral health
care visits per fiscal year from a
network provider without a refer-
ral from a primary care manager
or prior authorization from their
managed care support contractor
(MCSC).
To avoid point-of-service cost
sharing charges for these visits,
non-active duty TRICARE Prime
enrollees must obtain care from
TRICARE network-authorized pro-
viders or have a referral to a non-
network provider and enrollees in
the TRICARE Overseas Program
must obtain their care from over-
seas partnership providers. This
is especially helpful to family
members that may avoid getting
treatment because they fear treat-
ment could reflect poorly on the
service member. Authorization is
needed after the first eight visits
to continue treatment.
"This is just one of many pro-
grams and services provided by
TRICARE to support healthy
minds and lifestyles," said Maj.
Gen. Elder Granger, deputy direc-
tor, TMA.
Health Net Federal Services,
TRICARE's MCSC for the North
Region, provides an on-line
"Behavioral Health Resource
Center" at https://members.mhn.
com/eos/home/tricareentrypo
int?companyCode=tricare. The
resource center is designed to
help beneficiaries balance work,
family and life by providing com-
prehensive articles, information
sheets, quick tips and additional
resources on dozens of emotion-
al health issues and more. Like
many of TRICARE's new educa-
tional tools, it is available in both
English and Spanish.
Health Net also designed a
journal for children of deployed
parents to help them successfully
navigate the unique challenges
military families face. More than
30,000 of the journals titled, My
Life, a Kid's Journal have been
distributed and can be found at
https://www.hnfs.net/common/
newsResources/Kids+Journal+Ne
ws+Release.htm.
Humana Military Healthcare
Services offers "AchieveSolutions,"
an on-line resource offering
TRICARE beneficiaries a secure,
safe environment to seek infor-
mation, educational materials
and self-assessment tools in the

Ten steps to landing the perfect job after Navy service
From LIFELines
All ashore who's going
ashore.
Your perfect job is about
to end. You swam with the sharks
in Australia. Heloed in Hilo.
Bartered in Bahrain and kara-
oked in Kobe. But now your sea-
faring days are numbered and it's
time to pack up the seabag and
call it a career.
Your perfect job has taken you
around the world, has given you
exceptional skills, experience and
responsibility, and has provided
a lifetime's worth of sea stories.
But now you're ready to join the
great unknown of the "CivDiv,"
and build yourself a new career in
another perfect job.
Finding the perfect job in the
civilian sector takes planning,
patience and persistence. If
you look long enough and hard
enough, you'll find the position
ooo
that will give you a whole new set
of experiences to match your mili-
tary service.
Properly plan your attack on
the job market, and you'll enjoy
the rewards of your efforts for the
rest of your life.
To get started, here are 10 steps
to finding your perfect job.
1. Think about what you like to
do. Begin your search with a per-
sonal assessment. What do you
like to do? What are your inter-
ests? Your first step to a great job
is to spend some time in thought-
ful reflection about who you are
and what you like. Job satisfac-
tion is highest among those who
truly enjoy what they are doing.
Passion drives performance.
2. Think about what you can do.
Analyze and list your skills,
experience, and abilities. This is
important to do so you can match
your talents and abilities to your
likes and passions. This will also
allow you to determine if you
need to go back to school to gain
the skills necessary to succeed
in the new life you're making for
yourself.
3. Decide what kind of salary
you want to make. Sometimes
you'll find your dream job may
not provide the kind of money you
want to make. Money doesn't have
to be the driving force in a perfect
job, but you still have to live and
support yourself and your family.
Salary.com is a great Internet site
to use in determining how much
money you can make in different
occupations. The Occupational
Outlook Handbook is another
great resource.
4. Decide where you want to live.
You've traveled the world and
have seen all kinds of climates
and places. Now's your chance to
pick your favorite spot on Earth.
A good place to start is at Moving.
com, where you can find reloca-
tion information for the entire
United States.
5. Develop your contacts.
Networking is a huge part of the
job search. Most jobs aren't found
in the classified, but through
your network of friends, family,
and acquaintances. Make a list
of your family, friends, co-work-
ers, school friends, and acquain-
tances, and their friends, family,
and acquaintances. The more peo-
ple you contact, the broader your
search.
6. Contact well-known and
established recruiting compa-
nies. Find out who had success
using recruiters. These firms are
the matchmakers in the busi-
ness of marrying qualified job
seekers with appropriate com-
panies. A good place to start is
RecruitMilitary, a nationwide
firm, owned and operated by for-
mer military personnel, that is
dedicated to assisting transition-
ing service members in finding
the best jobs.
7. Get intimate with the
Internet job sites. Post your
resumes and search for positions
on the better-known job search
boards, such as Monster.com, and
the federal job site.
8. Put together a quality resume
and a professional wardrobe. Both
provide first impressions to poten-
tial employers, and they should
be inspection-ready.
9. Prepare, prepare, prepare. As
interview offers come in, research
the companies (follow the guide-
lines in related articles on this
website), practice your interview
skills, and build your confidence.
10. Attack the interview.
Show your passion, knowledge,
and self-confidence. Your enthu-
siasm, preparation, experience,
and skills will drive you to your
perfect job.

Etiquette for the Millennium: Dining bewares
By KimBerly Blakeley
Special Contributor
Which method do you
use when cutting your
foods, American or
European style? American Style-
when cutting food, place fork in
your left hand, fork tines down.
Place knife in right hand with
serrated edge facing plate. After
cutting one piece of food, lay
knife across the top of your plate
(sharp edge facing you), transfer
fork to your right hand and con-
sume food with tines facing up,
repeat steps.
European Style-cut your food
with knife in right hand and
bring food to your mouth with
the left hand, tines down. This
method prevents you from switch-
ing hands each time you cut. No
need to saw your food when cut-
ting and keep elbows close to your
side. When you're taking a break,
use the resting position. Cross
fork with tines up, over knife, as
with the shield. This indicates
you're not finished with your
meal, but only resting. When fin-
ished eating don't push your plate
away, lay fork and knife side by
side diagonally across your plate.
Knife and fork are placed as if
they are pointing to 10 and 4 on
a clock face. Any unused utensils
stay on the table untouched.
If you're a smoker, never ask if
you can smoke. If you don't see
any ashtrays, that's your indica-
tion there is, "no-smoking." Only
smoke in designated areas.
Once everyone is seated, place
a half-folded napkin on your lap
if it's large. Some may disagree
on the placement of a napkin
when you leave the table during
the meal. It is suggested to either
place it on your chair, over the
back of your chair or to the left of
your place setting.
Personally, I would never place
it over the back of my chair as food
particles may fall onto the chair. If
you place it on the table, you may
get your place setting messy by
food particles from your napkin. If
you place it on your chair, it stays
folded and out of sight. Few parti-
cles will get on your chair (if any),
and you can brush them off less
noticeable than placing it on the
table. Your napkin is placed folded
to the left of your plate when fin-
ished eating.
Glasses are lined above the
plate and to the right. Your water
glass is just above the tip of your
knife. To the right of the water
glass is the red wine glass and to
the right of the red wine glass is
the white wine glass. You want to
hold the stem of your glass when
drinking to preserve the chill.
When eating soup, dip the soup
spoon from the edge of the bowl
to the center, moving away from
you. Only fill three-fourths of
the spoon to avoid spilling. Sip
from the edge of spoon and do not
insert the entire spoon in your
mouth. Never bring the soup bowl
to your mouth and don't blow on
hot soup, allow it to cool in the
bowl.
Do not ask for a doggy bag at a
formal dinner, it's not carry-out.
Refrain from blowing your nose
at the table, excuse yourself from
the room. If you have to cough,
cover your mouth. If a cough con-
tinues, excuse yourself and wash
your hands before returning to
the table.
If you're a slow eater, pace your-
self with others so you're not at
the table 30 minutes after every-
one has finished.
Traditionally the host, hostess
or person in charge offer the first
toast. At a military ball, toasts
are generally before dinner and
for military personnel, guests and
leaders. The "toastee" does not
stand or drink to his/her toast.
A smile and thank-you is an
acknowledgement.
Forward all your questions and
comments to: etiquetteforu@yahoo.

Commissaries have recycling in the bag
By Lynda Valentine and Caroline Williams
Defense Commissary Agency
Reusable cloth bags are fast replac-
ing "paper or plastic" as the choice
for commissary customers. The
reusable bags, which cost 70 cents each,
were introduced into commissaries in
October and since then customers have
purchased nearly 270,000 at stores world-
wide.
While commissary shoppers have long
saved green of the legal tender variety to
the tune of 30 percent or more annually on
their grocery bills they can now conserve
green of another very useful kind trees.
"Commissaries have long been good stew-
ards of taxpayer funds," said Rick Page,
DeCA's acting director, "and with reusable
shopping bags, we're applying the same
sort of thrifty approach to how we use the
earth's natural resources."
DeCA's reusable bag is made of sturdy
mesh, sewn together from 100 percent poly-
propylene. They are strong enough to hold
30 pounds of groceries and approximately
three-quarters of the bulk amount of a
paper bag. The reusable bags are machine
washable and can be recycled when no lon-
ger usable. Customers can find these bags
on racks near the checkout at their local
commissary.
Reusing bags saves the commissary
money, which helps preserve the benefit
by keeping operating costs down costs
that are paid with taxpayer dollars. In
fiscal 2007, commissaries spent a total
of $20,635,800 on plastic and paper bags
combined. If just one-tenth of all commis-
sary shoppers switched to reusable cloth
bags, the agency would save more than $2
million annually.
Customers always have the option of
using their own reusable cloth bags. In
addition, all commissaries allow customers
to bring clean, sturdy paper or plastic bags
to the commissary for reuse in bagging
their groceries; however, all recycled bags
must be clean and in good repair or the
bagger cannot accept them. Whether you
provide your own bags or return to your
commissary with your DeCA cloth bags,
just present them to the bagger immedi-
ately before bagging begins.
Product availability and program guide-
lines may differ at overseas commissaries.
For more information about your com-
missary benefit, visit DeCA's Web site at

Fleet and Family Support
Center offers parenting class
From the FFSC
The NAS Jax Fleet
and Family Support
Center (FFSC)
is offering Maximize
Parenting with Love and
Logic classes every Monday
beginning June 2, July 21,
Sept. 8 and Oct. 20 at 1:30
p.m.
The classes will run five
weeks at the same time
each week. Parents can
begin on any Monday, but
they should complete all
five classes sequentially.
The goal of this program
is to provide an overview of
young children to include
developmental stages emo-
tionally, physically and
behaviorally with suggest-
ed interventions that will
empower parents to posi-
tively parent while main-
taining control through
knowledge. In other words,
"how to maintain your san-
ity while rearing a happy
well adjusted child."
As anyone who has been a
parent can tell you, it is not
an easy job. What works for
one child may not work for
another. It is a lot of trial
and error. When you buy a
new appliance, car, etc., a
book of instructions always
accompanies the purchase.
Although we don't pur-
chase our children, there
is no book of instructions
that accompanies the gift.
It is left up to the parent to
seek out those instructions,
guidelines and/or sugges-
tions.
The best way to pursue
them is to attend a parent-
ing class that provides an
overview and offers sugges-
tions and guidance for the
care of this precious gift.
The earlier the interven-
tion, the easier the job.
The years from birth to
age five are the most criti-
cal and important in a
child's development. It is
these early years that lay
the foundation for the bal-
ance of the child's future.
This is the time of a
child's life when their
knowledge base is expand-
ed the quickest and their
development changes at an
astronomical pace.
What is learned now is
carried for a lifetime. The
trick for you as parents is
how to teach in a way that
maximizes and enhances
the potential without limit-
ing that healthy sense of
self.
Early childhood devel-
opment parenting classes
offer parents the guidelines
for healthy development of
a child.
To enroll, call the FFSC
at 542-2766, Ext. 127 to
sign up.
