in some of the world's best
barbeque as well as entertain-
ment from the scores of Elvis
impersonators. While the food
was excellent and entertainment
was memorable, the real show
began the following day at the
Memphis Motorsports Park.
After receiving their Pit Row
passes, Farragut's crew eagerly
toured the huge car haulers and
cars that lined the track.
According to Hoff, "Pit row
is one of the coolest and busiest
places to be. The haulers for the
cars were just massive!"
The highlight of the
day occurred when Brad
Keselowski, the number 88 U.S.
Navy Chevrolet Monte Carlo
SS driver for JR Motorsports,
greeted and spoke with
Farragut's Sailors. His can-
did and respectful manner was
noted by Farragut's crew, show-

vice and dedication.
In between swapping com-

crew spoke of life onboard and

Mayport Officer Writes Children's Book

Lt. Cmdr. Ross MacKenzie reads his new book, My Sailor Dad, to children at the off-base Child
Development Center.

By Paige Gnann
Editor
"Will you still love me when
your gone? Are you coming
back home?"
It is these types of questions
and the military involvement
following the terrorist attacks
of Sept. 11, 2001 that prompted
a Naval Station Mayport offi-
cer to create a new book geared
towards military children faced
with deployment.
Ross MacKenzie said he has
taken his experiences as an offi-
cer and as dad of two young
children and combined them to
help answer some of the ques-
tions of young children.
The book, on sale at patri-
ot-kids.com, started out when
MacKenzie watched his friends
being deployed as part of the
Global War on Terrorism.
Working at the Naval Academy
as a English Literary teacher,
MacKenzie said he watched his
friends facing the tough ques-
tions asked by their children

when they deployed to harms
way.
"I began wondering how I
would answer those questions,"
he said. "I wasn't a father yet,
but I saw my friends and I kne
that being deployed as a hus-
band and father was going to be
very different than what I had
experienced before."
Sure enough, by the time he
deployed again, his wife was
pregnant with their first child.
MacKenzie said he wrote the
400-word book by trying to tell
the military story.
"I started with what I
know," he said. "The questions
[addressed in the book] are a
result of conversations with my
wife. We started trying to imag-
ine what kind of questions our
children would ask, what ques-
tions our friends had to answer.
You look into your child's eyes
and say, 'Yes, I do love you and
of course I'm coming home.'"

Well

CO Column

Honor to service and nation
will be recognized with this
year's Vietnam Veteran's
Recognition Ceremony held
here on Nov. 7 at 10 a.m. at
HSL-46 hangar. The sacrifice
and lives that were lost will
never be forgotten. I want to
personally thank in advance
Congressman Crenshaw and
everyone who had a hand in
organizing this great opportu-
nity to honor our veterans. I
look forward to the ceremony
and hope to see everyone there
tomorrow.
Thanks for everyone for
making the Navy Ball a huge
success. Everyone I talked to
had a great time if you didn't
please call me so we can make
it even better next year. A lot of
hard work by MWR, NAVSTA,
Fletcher High school Band, and
many others made it a great suc-

(one of our Navy Exchange
suppliers) who graciously
arranged the visit by Sir Jeremy
Bell and of course Congressman

speaker.

Christmas lighting competition
for the ships, tenant commands,
and housing on Dec. 15.
Are you ready to show your
spirit? We need some creative
ideas here as the Army Navy
game is coming up on Dec. 6
as I mentioned above and there
is a long tradition of the "Spirit
Spots" that run during the
game. The PAO office and our
PACEN are looking for creative
ideas for our own Mayport sub-
mission. I would really like to
see Mayport get recognized on

national television. We had a
great submission last year and
are hoping to get ours all the
way to the game broadcast this
year. We have the talent and
the expertise to do it, just need
your ideas. Please send them to
our PAO Bill Austin at william.

Nov. 10.
Expect to see a NAVADMIN
from the CNO coming out in
a few days concerning motor-
cycle safety. Only 5 percent
of all Navy POV transportation
is on motorcycles but it repre-
sents more than 50 percent of
our fatalities. Here at
Mayport we have added
numerous safety courses,
added a sport bike class, and
even supplied motorcycles to
get safety training. Just this
past weekend we had another
accident where someone was

"trying out" his shipmate's
bike. Motorcycle Safety is an

issue. Training is available, its
mandatory, and it's a huge step
in reducing needless fatalities
and accidents.
Recently, we have conduct-
ed several base exercises to
keep our preparedness sharp,
and behind those scenarios is
our own Installation Training
Officer Mike Meeks. His count-
less hours of effort will ulti-
mately result in all of us keep-
ing our readiness skills where
they should be. Thanks Mike,
your hard work isn't unnoticed,
and we appreciate your hard
work and dedication.
Volunteerism is something
I highly encourage, and there
are many organizations looking
for volunteers in the Mirror's

"Reaching Out" section. This is
a great way to foster community
spirit. The "Reaching Out" sec-
tion is updated weekly, so get
out there and make a difference
in the community!
Before I close I want to thank
the superb job our folks at base
services continue to do every
day. The base looks sharp and
lets keep it that way. Picking
up a piece of trash takes only
a second, and makes a big dif-
ference. Please be safe on and
off base, and keep those great

By Lt. Rickey L Bennett
Spiritual Fitness Division Southeast
Can you relate with issues of
sexual brokenness and addic-
tion? Have you wanted to recov-
er from these things but have
yet to find the way? Well, you
are certainly not the only one;
millions and millions of peo-
ple around the world struggle
with the same thing. In fact, the
bible says "no temptation has
ceased you except that which is
common to man." So, if you're
struggling in this way in some
form or fashion, do not despair:
there's hope and help available.
I'd like to share a few recov-
ery ideas and principles to help
you get started on the path, or
if you've been in recovery for a
while, sharpen your sword a bit.
The first thing a person has to
do was get honest with oneself

and with someone else. People
often buy into the lie that this
isn't a big deal and live in the
deception that they could heal
themselves. It is tough to be real
with yourself and accept that
you have a problem and that
the problem has become out of
control. You will have to swal-
low a lot of pride, for sure! And
telling another person and then
a group of people may break
a lot of vows you have made
with yourself to keep this thing
secret lest you be judged and
condemned again and found to
be imperfect.
You will need to give up these
self-deceptions which really are
just helping to keep you in your
problem and that is scary! The
truth of the matter is that when
it comes to compulsive and
addictive patterns in our lives,

a relation-

al God and he chooses to walk
with us in a process rather than
just zapping our troubles away.
Now, we accept God's grace
when we refuse to give up
whenever we Sl.c\ up." The
fact is no one is perfect. So we
can quit trying to be perfect and
simply try being accepted. God
accepts us and wants to heal
us of our brokenness but that
requires receiving his grace with
open arms and "getting back up
on the horse" if we "fall off," so
to speak.
Lastly, truth ultimately comes
from God's word but it also
comes from the experience of
others in recovery-that's another
benefit of refusing to isolate and
putting your life in the light.
In fact, James 5:16 says that
if we confess our brokenness
to one another, we keep our-

selves in the healing process!
Its one thing to be forgiven but
we also have to go for healing if
we truly want to be obedient to
God and observe his ways.
Well, I hope this helps
you and brings you hope!
Remember, being free from sex-
ual brokenness involves being
brutally honest and accepting
wisdom and support from oth-
ers and it takes time, grace and
truth to grow out of these old
patterns. So be truthful and be
courageous and don't forget: If
thousands of people in recovery
can live in victory with God's
help and the help of other war-
riors, so can you, my friend!

H omefront in Focus

By Beth Wilson
Military Spouse Contributor
This week's column wraps up
our look at the emotional cycle
of deployment. The last two
stages are experienced in the
weeks after service members
return from deployment.
Stage six, "Re-negotiation of
the Marriage Contract", starts
shortly after the glow of home-
coming wears off and can last
up to six weeks. Many spous-
es and Sailors find themselves
blind-sided by the challenges of
this phase of Navy life.
This stage is one in which the
husband and wife are together
physically but not necessar-
ily emotionally. They may need
time together along with shared
experiences and feelings before
they feel like a couple again.
During this stage the task is to
stop being "single" and start
being married again. Both need
to be aware of the necessity to
refocus on their marriage. For
instance, after one woman's
husband had been home for a
few days, she became aggra-
vated with him when he would
telephone his work-mate every
time something of impor-
tance came up within the fam-
ily finally declaring "I'm your
wife, talk to me!"
This stage can include feel-

ings of a loss of independence
by the spouse. Both Sailor and
spouse may find they need to
accommodate changes in each
other. You may remember the
account of Anna in last week's
column. During this phase of
re-negotiation Anna's husband
approached the ombudsman's
husband regarding the many
changes in Anna. He was star-
tled by Anna's independence
and maturity. He had very real
adjustments to make. While
Anna was as madly in love with
her husband as ever, she also
had a new confidence and feel-
ing of accomplishment. Her
husband was fearful he lost the
wife he married. With commu-
nication and effort this couple
has found a deeper relationship.
Both Sailor and spouse will
have expectations. Men often
think of homecoming in terms
of beer and sex, and not nec-
essarily in that order. Women
think of it in terms of affec-
tion such as cuddles and talk-
ing. Sex is down the list a bit.
Communication during this time
is crucial. Talk about expec-
tations and discuss what your
marriage looks like now. Your
marriage will require renego-
tiation of roles, responsibilities
and even the tone and charac-
ter of your marriage. Successful

couples say the key is to commit
to working through the changes
and challenges.
Take advantage of return &
reunion workshops during this
time. You may find it helpful
to talk to a Chaplain or coun-
selor. CREDO, now called the
spiritual fitness center, offers
free weekend marriage retreats.
These retreats can be very
helpful in assisting couples to
strengthen their marriages after
deployment.
The last stage, Reintegration

and Stabilization, is character-
ized by a new sense of com-
fort. Couples have successful-
ly negotiated the changes and
adjustments in their marriage
relationship. They have accept-
ed new routines and are enjoy-
ing their relationship.
In discussing the emotional
cycle of deployment there are
a few other things that must
be mentioned. First, the depth
with which you may experience
these stages will vary based
on many factors. Some spous-

es have mentioned that their
first deployment was the most
severe and difficult. Others felt
the first one with children was
the most difficult. Wives with
a few deployments under their
belt felt the severity of the vari-
ous stages differed with each
deployment.
Understanding the emotional
challenges we face during sea
tours and deployments can help
both Sailor and spouse. When
we realize the patterns of behav-
ior or the emotions we are expe-

riencing are normal we can take
steps to improve our quality of
life.

From Judge Advocate General
During the past week, Sears devel-

Registry program and forwarded those
potential modifications to DoD for review.
The DoD Standards of Conduct Office
- in consultation with the ethics leader-
ship of the military services reviewed
Sears' proposed modifications, con-
cluded that the ethical concerns with the
Wish Registry as originally structured
have been resolved, and determined that

DoD personnel may participate in the
restructured program. While DoD per-
sonnel may participate in the restructured
Wish Registry program, they still may not
appear in uniform at Sears stores or else-
where for the purpose of promoting Sears
or its Wish Registry program.
Significant modifications include the
following. First, instead of only being
open to E-6/below with families, the Wish
Registry is now available to all active-
duty personnel regardless of rank and

family status. Second, instead of asking
military personnel to indicate which Sears
merchandise they "wish for" resulting in
improper solicitations, the Wish Registry
now merely requires interested military
personnel to register for the program.
Additionally, Sears has assured DoD
that Sears nationally, regionally, and
locally will not request military person-
nel to appear in uniform at Sears stores
to promote Sears or its Wish Registry
program.

USS Vicksburg Sailors Lend A Hand

By Ensign Laura Anderson L r'-

USS Vicksburg Sailors recently participated in =I__
a community relations project with Jacksonville immmms ., ,

to help the local homeless shelter. H EIIET "3- .
The idea for the project developed while plan- -
ning for the recent UNCLASS LAN upgrade. With ,
the Navy Cash system down, the Ship Servicemen I:.
wanted to use their extra time to give back to the
Mayport area community. Word quickly spread
around the ship and the rest of the command joined ,-
in to create a work force that easily handled all the
odd-end jobs that Mission House needed accom-
plished.
Although the Sailors were there to provide assis-
tance, they also took something away.
"I feel like I'm really doing something valuable
with my time here," commented Ship's Serviceman
Seaman Stephen Presutti.
By the end of the afternoon, Vicksburg Sailors had
helped prepare lunch, moved and sorted the recently
donated food, cleaned the lawn and parking lot, and
given haircuts to over a dozen of the shelter's cus- -
tomers.
The event also kicked off Vicksburg's weeklong
donation drive for the shelter, which will provide
all of the crew and their families an opportunity to
be involved. However, the relationship between the -- ... -'- .

USS Underwood Public, Officer
USS Underwood (FFG
36) made the first port visit
of its counter-illicit traffick-
ing deployment to the San
Miguelito District of Panama
Oct. 29.
While in port, Underwood
crewmembers provided a one
day "extreme makeover" to
the Santa Librada Elementary
School in San Miguelito.
With the assistance of vol-
unteers from the National
Maritime Service of Panama,
thirty Underwood sailors reno-
vated the Santa Librada elemen-
tary school. The school, which
has 1,800 students from the
surrounding area in attendance,
underwent an intensive day of
cleaning, painting, and land-
scaping.
Students and members of
the Parent Teacher Association
assisted the crewmembers in
general grounds cleaning, paint-
ing of the pre-kindergarten
building, eight classroom res-
torations, and revamping of the
basketball court.
In addition to the work around
the schoolyard, Underwood
donated numerous toys and
books to the school children as
part of Project Handclasp.
Project Handclasp is a collec-
tion of donated items that the
U.S. military delivers world-
wide.
Project Handclasp's mis-
sion is to provide humanitar-

SERMC Mayport Kicks Off VPP Effort

By Ron Faverey
SERMC Safety Department
Southeast Regional
Maintenance Center (SERMC)
took a pledge towards enhanced
safety awareness during its
Voluntary Protection Program
(VPP) Kickoff celebration on
Oct. 21.
Commander, Regional
Maintenance Centers, Rear
Adm. Clarke Orzalli, was the
guest speaker and presided over
the VPP Kickoff with words of
motivation to strive for the goal
of "zero accidents."
The VPP mission is to devel-
op a cooperative workforce of
active duty, civil service, union,
and contractor personnel who
will function as a team in the
cause of identifying and report-
ing latent hazards and correcting
them before they result in either
injury or property damage.
One of the highlights of the
kick off celebration was when
the department heads ceremoni-
ously signed the SERMC VPP
Commitment Pledge to repre-
sent the command's commit-
ment to the program. The com-
mand's commitment to "... fully
understand that VPP is a culture,

an exceptional way of how we
do business here at SERMC..."
is a realization which has taken
hold over the last year.
Under the influence of the
VPP principles, SERMC ended
fiscal year 2008 with less inju-
ry and illness reports and more
proactive reported hazards than
the previous year.
With the establishment of
this baseline VPP-oriented
culture, SERMC is now ready
for the challenge to continue
to grow that enhanced cul-
ture of employee awareness
and involvement. Within the
months to come, SERMC will
work to improve the precepts
of the command safety pro-
grams in order to qualify for the
renowned "STAR" distinction
within VPP
SERMC's Commanding
Officer, Capt. Pete Schupp,
added, "The voluntary effort of
our employees to embrace the
concepts of VPP principles is
critical to ensure a totally safe
environment where all person-
nel go home everyday with all
ten fingers and all ten toes."
A diverse group of employ-

ees volunteered from across
the command to form the VPP
Implementation Team, which
will continue to spread the VPP
philosophy and develop the VPP
practices and principles.
Members of the VPP
Implementation Team are Sonar
Technician Surface 1st Class
Mike Brehm, Beatriz Brown,
Steve Burton, Joey Cartwright
(SERMC ESH Director),
Bob Daigle, Ron Faverey,
Tim Figgins, Howard Gippe,
Chief Hull Technician John
Goerges, Lora Grant, Maxine
Lopez, Linda Mayle, Hassan
Middleton, Aaron Moore, Joe
Nettuno, David Phillips, Dan
Powell, Wanda Spencer, Jerimy
Stanley, Scott Stover, Diane
Stratton, Master Chief Damage
Controlman Gary Uzonyi, and
Dennis Wood.

Mayport Helps With Red Ribbon

From HSL-42
After six months at sea, several Sailors from
HSL-42 Detachment Four "The Shooting
Booners," aboard USS Boone (FFG-28), will be
returning with their Enlisted Aviation Warfare
Specialist qualification.
Through several months of hard work and
studying Aviation Machinist's Mate 2nd Class
Nathan Babauta, Aviation Machinist's Mate
3rd Class Melvin Layao, Aviation Electrician's
Mate 3rd Class Troy Morgan, Aviation Structural
Mechanic Airman Apprentice Sergio Mendoza,
Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd Class Jason Gober,
Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class Harry
Potter, Aviation Electronics Technician 2nd Class
Brian Baker, Aviation Warfare Systems Operator
3rd Class Corey Whittle and Aviation Maintenance
Administrationman Airman Maximilian Robles
completed the requirements for their EAWS qual-
ification.
To motivate the members of the maintenance
crew, the LCPO and LPO put forth a challenge
saying that they would complete their Enlisted
Surface Warfare Specialist qualification once all
members of the detachment were EAWS quali-
fied.
True to their word, Chief Aviation Machinist's
Mate Gerald Gamm, and Aviation Electronics
Technician 1st Class Chris Manyette completed
their qualification and will be returning home
wearing their ESWS pin.
"I am proud that we are now 100 percent
EAWS qualified, this shows the dedication and
professionalism of the members of the mainte-
nance crew," said Gamm.
The purpose of the Enlisted Aviation Warfare
Specialist Program is to provide the junior Sailor
a baseline of knowledge and understanding nec-
essary to support the war fighting requirements of
the Navy.
A wide variety of topics are covered, ranging
from the history of Naval Aviation, to aircraft and
airfield familiarization, to general safety and first
aid. They are also familiarized with the many

different rates required to manage a successful
HSL detachment.
Babauta said he found the process challenging
but, encouraged his fellow Sailors still working
towards their qualification.
"It may seem like a lot, but hang in there,"
Babauta said. "It will definitely increase your rate
knowledge and make you a better Sailor."
The candidates were required to earn signa-
tures after demonstrating proficient levels of
knowledge in each of the many categories. Upon
achieving all of the necessary signatures, the indi-
viduals went up before an oral board consisting
of the senior enlisted leadership of the detach-
ment. The board tested the knowledge they had
obtained and each board member asked specific
questions based on their specialty.
Whittle said, "When I passed it felt like 1,000
lbs was taken off my shoulders. It felt very good
to know that I was done with it and now I can
help others get ready for their board."
Equipped with their new found knowledge
these young Sailors will be able to take what they
have learned on to their next deployment to better
support the Navy and its mission. Officer-in-
Charge Lt. Cmdr. Matt Barr said, "I am extreme-
ly proud of all the hard work put forth by the
detachment and know that these individuals will
play important roles in the development of oth-
ers on their next deployment. They will now be
the leaders and mentors to help others earn their
qualification."

Boy Scouts and Parents Visit HSL-48 Vipers

By Lt.j.g. Kevin Vannieu-
wenhoven
HSL-48
The Scout Troop consisting
of about 14 wolf cubs, along
with parents and friends, visited
the spaces of the World Famous
HSL-48 "Vipers" on Oct 23.
They were greeted and escort-
ed by the HSL-48 Operations
Officer, Lt. Cmdr. Torsten
Schmidt, as well as Lt. Leah
Malleis, and Lt.j.g. Kevin
Vannieuwenhoven. After a
quick muster, the excited group
of kids and parents proceeded
into the hangar for a tour and a
look at the SH-60B helicopter.
Though they had no doubt
observed the aircraft in the skies
on routine missions around
Mayport and Jacksonville, this
was many of the group's first
up-close look at the aircraft.
Some of the parents had taken
off of work, not wanting to miss
out on this opportunity to get
a glimpse into everyday Naval
flight operations.
The scouts were allowed to
explore Venom 516, the aircraft
on display, with many taking
up a seat in the pilot or copilot
spot, as well as the sensor oper-
ator's seat in the cabin section.
Some of the scouts asked,
"Hey, do you think we can go
fly," with the answer being
"yes, you probably can some-
ooo

day, but not today."
As some of their questions
were answered by Senior
Aircrewman Aviation Warfare
Systems Operator 1st Class
Trace Blake, the scouts and par-
ents also had a chance to have a
peek at some flight operations,
observing aircraft arriving and
departing on the runway for
training operations.
After their experience in the
hangar, the troop proceeded
to the HSL-48 Ready Room
for their brief on SAR equip-
ment and procedures, led by
Aircrewman Aviation Warfare
Systems Operator 2nd Class

Mike Todd and Aircrewman
Aviation Warfare Systems
Operator 3rd Class Nick
Hidalgo. The scouts were also
able to see the enclosure where
HSL-48's mascot, Skirt, a 7ft
boa constrictor has lived with
the Vipers since 1991.
This was a perfect opportu-
nity for the pilots, aircrew, and
personnel of HSL-48 to show
part of the community the daily
operations of a Naval helicop-
ter squadron, as well as pro-
vide some training on what
they should do if they are ever
picked up by a rescue helicop-
ter.

What does anger do for you?
Communicate for you? Keep
people at a safe distance from
you? Keep you in charge? For
many people, anger serves them
many uses, but all too often,
it is at a high cost...usually of
relationships, unhappiness in
the workplace, and a general

feeling of disdain. If you want
to be able to break out of the
"get angry/get even" syndrome,
come to this class. Participants
learn how anger and judgment
are related, about irrational
beliefs and faulty self-talk, what
"E + R = 0" means, and the
roles of stress and forgiveness
in anger.

Report, FFSC
Nov. 21, 9 a.m.-noon, What
About the Kids?, FFSC
Children who witness fam-
ily violence are often forgot-
ten as the unintended victims.
A wide range of child adjust-
ment problems has been found
to be associated with exposure
to domestic violence. Parent's
need to see and understand the
effects of domestic violence
on children as encompassing
behavior, emotion, development
and socialization. Parents need
to understand that there is an
intergenerational cycle of vio-
lence and they may be creat-
ing a legacy for their child of

learned violent behavior. The
purpose of this program is not
to shame parents for events
that have already happen, but
to instill hope that things can
change. The knowledge that the
violence, which many parents
incorrectly believe is unseen
by their children, is negative-
ly impacting their children's
growth and development and
may provide an additional moti-
vator for ending the violence
and seeking intervention.

And The Survey Says...

A. Armstrong draw one of the weekly CEL survey winners. Bachelor Housing is currently conduct-
ing the Annual Resident Satisfaction Survey through December This is the opportunity to let us
know how we are doing and what you would like to see. When you are asked to complete this sur-
vey please take the time to fill out the survey. The survey will run for approximately six weeks. All

Who Uses Tobacco In US?

From Health Promotion by the Ocean
According to the American
Cancer Society, smoking
is responsible for nearly 1 in
5 deaths in the United States.
Because cigarette smoking and
tobacco use are acquired behav-
iors-activities that people
choose to do-smoking is the
most preventable cause of pre-
mature death in our society.
According to the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC), 44.5 million US adults
were current smokers in 2006
(the most recent year for which
numbers are available). This is
20.8 percent of all adults (23.9
percent of men, 18 percent of
women)-more than one out of
five people.
When broken down by race/
ethnicity, the numbers were as
follows:
Whites, 21.9 percent
African Americans, 23 per-

cent
Hispanics, 15.2 percent
American Indians/Alaska
Natives, 32.4 percent
Asian Americans, 10.4 per-
cent
The numbers were higher in
younger age groups. In 2006,
CDC reported almost 24 per-
cent of those 18 to 44 years old
were current smokers, com-
pared to 10.2 percent in those
65 or older.
Nationwide, 22.3 percent of
high school students and 8.1
percent of middle school stu-
dents were smoking in 2004.
More white and Hispanic stu-
dents smoked cigarettes.
Among adults age 18 and
older, national data from 2004
showed 6 percent of men and
one percent of women were cur-
rent users of chewing tobacco
or snuff. Nationwide, 14 per-
cent of U.S. male high school

students and 2 percent of female
high school students were using
chewing tobacco, snuff, or dip
in 2005 (Source: Cancer Facts
and Figures 2007).
About half of all Americans
who continue to smoke will die
because of the habit. Each year
about 438,000 people in the
United States die from illnesses
related to cigarette smoking.
Cigarettes kill more Americans
than alcohol, car accidents, sui-
cide, AIDS, homicide, and ille-
gal drugs combined.
The Great American
Smokeout is on Nov. 20. It is
an opportunity to join with liter-
ally millions of other tobacco
users in saying "no thanks" to
tobacco products for 24 hours.
Call Health Promotion at 270-
5251 ext. 17 to learn how you
can quit your tobacco habit.

Balfour Beatty Hosts

Base Haunted House

By Kirsten Berger
Beatty
Balfour Beatty Communities sponsored a
Haunted House at Naval Station Mayport on Oct.
31.
Nearly 400 visitors passed through the creepy
corridor and received a bag of candy as they
exited. The Haunted House was a 60-foot-long
tunnel built out of 2x4s and a black vinyl shell.
Visitors entered through an outside cemetery
where they waited to be guided through in groups

of four to six people.
For the smaller children, a few overhead lights
were left on so that it was not too dark and the
actors inside took off their masks as to not fright-
en the children too much. The older, and suppos-
edly braver ones, were the ones that screamed
like little girls! The teenage boys clung to each
other and the girls, well, screamed and swatted.
Many adults shrieked and screamed as well
as they made their way through curtains, spider
webs, and a variety of other props

Trick-or-treaters and their parents line up outside the Ribault Bay Community Center to go inside the
Haunted House.

Approximately 400 visitors walked through the doors into the haunted house sponsored by Balfour
Beatty on Halloween.

Farragut
Farragut had just returned.
Shortly thereafter, Keselowski
presented the Navy Motorsports
car with the newly placed USS
Farragut (DDG 99) decal on the
front of the hood. Following
the National Anthem, the Sailors
took their positions alongside
the pit crew and watched as 43
cars overwhelmed the cheering
of the crowd with their engines
and began the race.

"We even got to listen in on
headphones to the driver, the
spotters, and the crew chief. It
was all very exciting. Being
right there when they do the pit
stops is just very surreal because
it happens so fast! I couldn't
imagine changing 4 tires in 17
seconds!" recalled Hoff.
While the Sailors expected
to be in the shadows of the
NASCAR crews, they turned

From Page 1
out to be celebrities themselves,
receiving countless thanks and
praises throughout the day from
the fans. Only through the sup-
port and coordination of Navy
Motorsports and the Fleet
Honoree Program was Farragut
able to partake in this national
salute to the US Navy, contrib-
ute to Navy Recruiting, and
participate in an unforgettable
experience for its Sailors.

Check Out New Physical Fitness Kid Guidelines

By Lt. Col. Karen Hawkins
DeCA dietitian
Children and teenagers need
one hour or more of physical
activity daily; just one of the
new 2008 Physical Activity
Guidelines for Americans pub-
lished by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services.
The guidelines are designed
to provide information and
guidance on the types and
amounts of physical activity
for Americans aged 6 years and
older. The main idea behind the
guidelines is that regular physi-
cal activity over months and
years can produce long-term
health benefits.
The Defense Commissary
Agency has joined TRICARE,
Military OneSource, the Army
and Air Force Exchange Service,
and Health and Human Services
to ask the military community
to "Take the Pledge" to help
address the chronic issue of
childhood overweight and obe-
sity. Nearly 20 percent of chil-
dren and teens in Department of
Defense families are considered
obese, and across the nation the
numbers are even greater as one
child in three is overweight.
In recognition of this growing
issue, we encourage families to
be physically active with their
children and teenagers each day.
To address the childhood
overweight and obesity issue,
the "Healthy Youth for a
Healthy Future" initiative led by
the surgeon general, promotes
the importance of healthy eating
and physical activity at a young
age to help prevent overweight
and obesity in this country.
"Healthy Youth for a Healthy
Future" is recognizing commu-
nities throughout America that
are coming together to address
childhood overweight and obe-
sity prevention by encouraging
children to eat right and exer-
cise. To change children's eating
and activity habits, this initia-
tive concentrates on many of the
people who influence our chil-
dren, including parents, care-
givers, schools, public health
leaders and local community
leaders. The surgeon general is
on a national tour to recognize
and highlight those communi-
ties with effective prevention
programs and to motivate com-
munity members to join in their
efforts to encourage kids to eat
healthier and increase physical
activity to at least 60 minutes
a day.
Guidelines for children and
teenagers
*Children and teenagers
should do 60 minutes or more
of physical activity daily.
*Aerobic: Most of the 60 or
more minutes a day should be
either moderate- or vigorous-
intensity aerobic physical activ-
ity, and should include vigor-
ous-intensity physical activity
at least three days a week.
*Muscle-strengthening: As
part of their 60 or more min-
utes of daily physical activity,
children and adolescents should

daily physical activity, children

activity on at least three days of
the week.

and that offer variety. To help
you decide what is best for your

November is American

Indian I
From CNO
November Is American Indian
Heritage Month, and the theme
for this year's observance is
"Living In Many Worlds."
The native people of North
America shaped our nation's
history and culture. All mili-
tary personnel should reflect on
the remarkable history, and the
diverse influences that Native
Americans have had on our
nation and Navy. An estimat-
ed 12,000 American Indians
fought in world war I and more
than 44,000 American Indians
fought in World War II. Twelve
received the medal of honor
during the 1870s, three during
World War II, and two during
the Korean War. There are cur-
rently more than 15,000 active
duty, reserve, and civilian mem-
bers of the navy total-force who
are American Indian or Alaska
native. Each of these men and
women demonstrate incredible
commitment and diverse per-
spectives that make our nation
and our navy the most powerful
to ever sail the world's oceans.
American Indians and Alaska
natives have long been an inte-

-eritage

gral part of our American char-
acter. Tribal traditions have
brought values and ideas that
have become ingrained in our
American spirit and add signifi-
cance to our navy. During this
observance, let us enhance our
understanding and appreciation
of American Indian and Alaska
native heritage, and the diversity
we all bring to this great nation.
Our ability to access, train, and
retain the diverse and extraor-
dinary talents and experienc-
es of our country's population
makes us better. Commands are
strongly encouraged to celebrate
national American Indian and
Alaska native heritage month
through educational programs,
exhibits, publications, and par-
ticipation in military and com-
munity events that recognize
the diversity of our American
heritage.

Navy Region Southeast Announces 2008 Navy

Commit
By Mary Anne
Broderick Tubman
CNRSE Pubhlic.
Sailors from Naval Submarine
Base (NSB) Kings Bay men-
tor middle school students.
Sailors at NAS Jacksonville,
Commander, Patrol and
Reconnaissance Wing Eleven
help a local YMCA launch
an Ultimate Frisbee program.
Pensacola-based Sailors build
homes for Habitat for Humanity.
Through projects like these, 32
commands from installations
within Navy Region Southeast
(NRSE) have distinguished
themselves in community
programs to receive the 2008
Regional Navy Community
Service Program (NCSP) annu-
al awards. The winners were
announced Sept. 30.
Through the NCSP, military
and civilian employees are
given opportunities to volunteer
for meaningful shore, sea, and
overseas command-sponsored
community projects in five flag-
ship categories-personal excel-
lence; health, safety, and fitness;
campaign drug free; project
good neighbor; and environ-
mental stewardship.
"The NCSP forges a bond
between the Navy and their
host communities," said Dianne
Parker, NRSE work and fam-
ily life administrator and NCSP
coordinator, who has been
involved with the program since
it began in 1992. "The number
of thriving volunteer programs
submitted in the competition
reflects the Southeast region's
commitment to community ser-
vice."
In addition to coordinating
the awards competition, Parker
also compiles quarterly reports
that provide the Navy with data
about the number of community
service hours provided by com-
mands in the Southeast region
in support of local education
and humanitarian initiatives.
She coordinates command vol-
unteer training, which offers
guidance on the preparation
of awards packages. A NCSP

Guidebook is available for com-
mands unable to send repre-
sentatives to training. Copies
can be obtained by contacting

mil.
The winners were chosen
from a field of 62 small (fewer
than 200 personnel), medi-
um (21111-499 personnel), and
large (500 or more personnel)
command entries, a dramatic
increase from the 38 entries
submitted in the 2007 com-
petition. The packages were
evaluated by a 15-member
panel of military and civilian
personnel led by Senior Chief
Petty Officer Terri Green, navy
counselor and NRSE career
development program manag-
er. Other panelists involved in
the three-day selection process
included subject matter experts
from Environmental, MWR,
Medical, the Alcohol and Drug
Control Officer (ADCO), and
Education.
"All of the programs were
outstanding, including those
that did not win," said Green.
"It's very difficult to choose a
winner when all of the submis-
sions are making such a differ-
ence, in both civilian and mili-
tary communities. The talent
that the Navy has is so dynam-
ic and diverse that you can't
narrow it down to one or two
items. It's very motivating to
read about what our Sailors are
accomplishing."
Active commitment to volun-
teerism by 11 NAS Pensacola
commands in each of the five
flagship areas have once again
set them apart. With one of
five NRSE installation award
packages that will be submit-
ted to Commander, Navy
Installations Command (CNIC),
NAS Pensacola will join the
Navywide competition for the
Bainbridge Award, which is
open to all commands regard-
less of size.
The NRSE installations that
will vie for the Bainbridge
Award are the Trident Training
Facility, NSB Kings Bay; NSB

Navy's Shoreline Project Is Largest

In Chesapeake Bay Watershed

By Gary R. Wagner
Naval ... c South Potomac
Public."
The Navy has embarked on
the largest shoreline stabiliza-
tion project in the Chesapeake
Bay watershed. The multi-year
effort will not only protect criti-
cal military infrastructure but
will also improve water quality
and establish habitat to support
aquatic wildlife.
The remains of an asphalt
road follow the edge of a crum-
bling bluff towering 30 feet
above the river's edge below.
Pieces of concrete building
slabs are all that's left of former
technical facilities that had to be
vacated and demolished because
of the encroaching shoreline.
The Naval Support Facility
(NSF) in Indian Head, Md.,
situated on a long peninsula
bounded by the Potomac River
and the pristine Mattawoman
Creek watershed, was losing
about one-and-a-half feet of real
estate per year along stretches
of the base's 17 miles of water-
front.
But, thanks to emergency
congressional funding and with
the support of local and regional
conservation groups, the Navy
has embarked on the largest
shoreline stabilization project in
the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
"The Chesapeake Bay is a
national treasure, and the shore-
line restoration at Indian Head
is one of many projects in which
DoD is investing to revitalize
the bay," emphasizes Donald
Schregardus, environmental
deputy assistant Secretary of

By Lt.j.g Matthew Dursa

Each year thousands of peo-
ple around the world welcome
a child into their home through
adoption. From a change in
your family situation to a desire
to make a home for a child
displaced by disaster, there is
a wide variety of reasons for
choosing adoption. After the
personal decision to adopt is
made, a legal process finalizes
that commitment.
The legal process terminates
any rights a biological parent
may have, most importantly
custody and visitation rights,
and gives them to the adoptive
parent. The child is then treat-
ed as the natural child of the
adoptive parent. The biological
parent who gives up his or her
rights no longer faces a child
support obligation.
There are two types of adop-
tion: private and agency. A pri-
vate adoption usually involves
an adoptive parent and a child
previously known to him or her.
The most common private adop-
tion is a step-parent adoption, in
which a step-parent adopts his
or her spouse's children from
a previous relationship. Step-
parents who wish to adopt their
spouse's children should real-
ize the adoptive relationship is
not based or dependent upon
the marriage. If the marriage
later fails, the adoptive parent
remains legally and financially
responsible for supporting and
raising the children. Remember,
adoption means the children are
treated as the adoptive parent's
natural children, regardless of
what happens to the marriage.
Agency adoptions can be
accomplished through state
agencies, church organizations
or commercial agencies. An
agency adoption requires pro-
spective parents to first register
with an agency. The agency
then evaluates their suitabil-
ity as parents and determines
the best type of child for them.
After a child is matched to pro-
spective parents, the child lives
with them for a certain number
of months (the number varies
by state) under supervision to
make sure everything is work-
ing out. After this time passes,
the adoption is finalized.
Either type of adoption
requires three basic steps.
First, the parental rights of the
natural parents are terminated.
Termination requires informed,
written relinquishment. In
cases where the location of the
biological parent is unknown,
this step can be difficult. Given
the nature and seriousness of
oo o

the Navy. "The project also rep-
resents a significant long-term
investment in the Indian Head
facility and community."
At the average annual erosion
rate of 1.5 feet per year, approx-
imately 12,000 cubic yards of
sediment per year was enter-
ing the surrounding waterways.
NSF Indian Head developed a
shoreline management plan in
2002 that surveyed shoreline
erosion along the installation's
waterfront. The plan prioritized
areas that needed immediate
attention and recommended
actions to manage shoreline
erosion to protect existing infra-
structure at the base, improve
water quality and enhance ter-
restrial and aquatic wildlife
habitat.
After Hurricane Isabel further
exacerbated shoreline erosion
on the base, the Navy received
$5.2 million in hurricane relief
funding. The money was used
to fund the design, permitting
and construction of the initial
phase of the shoreline stabiliza-
tion project. Additional phas-
es are planned and dependent
on funding through fiscal year
2010.
With the support of the
Southern Maryland Resource
Conservation and Development
Board and the Charles Soil
Conservation District, work
began in November 2007 with
the construction of a series of
breakwaters and sills along
approximately 3,500 feet of the
eastern shore of the Potomac
River. These stabilization efforts
will greatly reduce or eliminate

the rights involved, a court will
require an in-depth, exhaustive
search for the biological par-
ent before proceeding with the
adoption. Second, a hearing
is conducted to determine the
adoptive parents' suitability to
raise the child. Third, a court
decree or order of adoption is
obtained.
Parental rights can be termi-
nated by a court when it is in
the best interests of the child.
Parental rights may be terminat-
ed involuntarily if a court is sat-
isfied a parent has abandoned,
failed to support or abused the
child. The exact requirements
vary by state. Parental rights
may also be terminated by vol-
untary consent of the natural
parents, but that consent is not
binding until approved by a
court.
In judging the adoptive par-
ent's suitability, the court will
often direct a local agency to
investigate the home environ-
ment and return a confidential
report to the judge. In some cir-
cumstances, the home investiga-
tion may not be required, such
as in a step-parent adoption.
Finally, the court conducts a
final hearing, in the courtroom,
where the judge will either
approve or disapprove the adop-
tion.
Agency adoptions can
be expensive, but there are
programs to help. Under
DoD Instruction 1341.9,
the Department of Defense
Adoption Reimbursement
Policy, servicemembers are
eligible for $2,000 in financial
aid for each child they adopt,

impacts of wave action on the
shoreline. As a result, approxi-
mately 2,900 feet of shoreline
will naturally stabilize.
In addition, extensive erosion
along a 600-foot section of the
stabilized shoreline required
bank grading to stabilize the
slope and protect two office
buildings within 35 feet of the
top of the shoreline.
Behind the breakwaters and
sills, an area of nearly 11 acres
was backfilled to create more
than an acre of intertidal veg-
etated wetland habitat and 9.5
acres of wetland habitat suitable
for scrub-shrub, riparian flood-
plain forest and upland trees
and shrubs.
"This project uses state-of-
the-art design to minimize the
facility's impact on the envi-
ronment," Schregardus points
out. "It is also an example of
fiscal stewardship. The Navy
has been able to achieve more
while reducing its costs through
partnerships with the National
Aquarium in Baltimore, the
Southern Maryland Resource
Conservation and Development
Board, and the Charles Soil
Conservation District."
The National Aquarium in
Baltimore, through a partner-
ship with NSF Indian Head,
mobilized volunteers for two
field planting events to com-
plete the first phase of the
shoreline project. For the first
event in July 2008, more than
40 participants spent two days
to place 10,000 wetland plants
along approximately 1,700
feet of Potomac River shore-

up to a maximum of $5,000
per year. The military's assis-
tance is more than just finan-
cial; Commanding Officers are
encouraged to grant leave in
order to let the adopted child
bond with the new parents.
Servicemembers are excluded
from deployment for 6 months
following an adoption; how-
ever, that time can be waived
by the servicemember. If you
are contemplating using a pri-
vate agency, be sure to check
whether they are a "qualified
adoption agency" for purposes
of the Adoption Reimbursement
Program or the Adoption
Income Tax Credit.

Common Sense Parenting, of Toddlers and Preschoolers and teach
parenting skills like these:
* Create plans to stay caLm for both parent and chiLd
* Prevent problems and correct misbehavior
* Set reasonable expectations based on age and development level
Show how discipline can be more about teaching than punishment...
Isn't it about time?

line. Plantings occurred in the
intertidal wetland zone created
by placing sediment behind the
sills and breakwater that have
been constructed in the initial
phase of the shoreline restora-
tion project.
In a second field planting
event that spanned four days this
month, more than 70 volunteers
from communities throughout
Maryland and Virginia labored
to plant native wetland grasses,
shrubs and trees.
David Nemerson, conserva-
tion biologist for the National
Aquarium who directed the
four-day project, estimated that
volunteers logged a total of
nearly 1,000 hours of labor.
"We typically work on three
or four projects a year of this
size and scope," he explained.
"But we tend to do more in
Chesapeake Bay proper," as
opposed to freshwater tributar-
ies like the Potomac, he added.
Altogether, between the two
field events, the volunteers
placed 15,000 wetland plants in
the intertidal zone of the shore-
line as well as 1,400 trees and
shrubs in a riparian floodplain
zone.
The riparian floodplain zone
extends from the mean high
water line to the toe of the exist-
ing slope of the shoreline. This
area, once revegetated, will
increase protection of the toe
of the existing slope, enhance

wildlife habitat and improve
water quality.
Most of the volunteers, who
spent one or more days working
on the shoreline and camping
overnight in nearby Smallwood
State Park, hailed from dis-
tant communities throughout
Maryland and Virginia.
Jeanette Bitzel from
Westminster, Md., in Carroll
County has worked on conser-
vation projects for two years
with the Maryland Conservation
Corps, as a volunteer with
AmeriCorps.
AmeriCorps is a program of
the Corporation for National
and Community Service, an
independent federal agency
whose mission is to foster civic
engagement through service
and volunteering. Each year,
AmeriCorps offers opportuni-
ties for adults to serve through
a network of partnerships with
local and national nonprofit
groups to address critical needs
in communities across America,
to include tutoring disadvan-
taged youth, building affordable
housing, cleaning parks and
streams, or helping communi-
ties respond to disaster.
Bitzel, who also recently
worked with a volunteer project
at Assateague Island National
Seashore, was impressed by
"the horrible amount of erosion
the river was causing" along the
Naval Support Facility Indian

Head shoreline.
"What this project is doing is
to help build up the shoreline
to function as a healthy ecosys-
tem," she said.
Nemerson quipped that the
volunteers experienced "instant
gratification" for their labor.
"During one day of the field
event a flock of blue birds
swooped down to perch on trees
(planted by the volunteers) that
had only been in the ground 30
minutes."
"On behalf of the Navy, I
thank the volunteers for their
hard work and congratulate
them on a job well done," said
Schregardus. "This project
restores the natural function-
ing of the shoreline, and the
work performed over these
past five days provides a long-
term solution to shoreline ero-
sion, expands aquatic habitat,
improves water quality, and pro-
tects important Navy assets."
With the completion of the
second round of plantings,
approximately 3,500 feet of
shoreline has been revegetated
in the initial phase of the shore-
line stabilization project.
In the broadest perspective,
said Schregardus, "This project
is good for the Chesapeake Bay,
the surrounding environment,
the Indian Head community and
the economy."

everything anybody else
can offer, in other
words, not iust a great
income, but all the good-
ies too! Commissions &
Incentives, vacations,
trips, rewards, health,
dental, life & vision
insurance and a 401(k).
Starting income, up to
$45K $75K per year.
You can even qualify for
a $2,000.00 signing
bonus. Sounds good so
far, doesn't it? That's
why I can't understand

wouldn't investigate this
opportunity. This week

sary, we will train you.
