What is the policy for reserving parking spaces on base?

Answer: A new, consolidated instruction regarding parking at Naval Base
Ventura County is being developed.
Under current regulations, designated parking spaces for government
vehicles, visitors and handicapped employees hold top priority. After that,
spaces can be reserved for specific individuals or codes, but they are limited to
commanding officers, executive officers, command master chiefs and depart-
ment heads.
Normally, in facilities occupied by one organization, this policy would be

 The time when ‘I don’t know’ isn’t right
www.TheLighthouseNews.com
What do you want for Christmas?
This question is the bane of my exis-
tence. I ask my husband what he wants
for Christmas and his helpful answer is,
“I don’t know.” Thanks hon, let me run
right out and buy a case of “I don’t know.”
If I’m lucky I might even get it on sale.
Our families exchange names at the
holidays and set a dollar limit for gift-giv-
ing. I love this! Instead of buying 50 OK
gifts for family members I can invest a
little and buy one nice gift on each side of
the family. All I need to know is what my
older brother and my father-in-law want
for Christmas. My shopping list is getting
easier – two more cases of “I don’t
know.”
Ah, but then the tables turned on me.
The e-mails came in from the family mem-
bers who drew my names. “Beth, what do
you want for Christmas?” Um, how about
a big case of “I don’t know.”
Why don’t I know? Why is the common

bathed and groomed – by someone other
than me (Did you know the cocker span-
iel is one of the most difficult dogs to
groom – and I have two of them).
I want to spend the holidays around the
table with family and friends playing board
games, laughing, eating and loving each
other. I want to spend the day at Scott’s
side because military marriage means
spending so many important days apart.
Now don’t get me wrong. If you wrapped
the keys to a Lamborghini and placed
them under the tree for me, I’d not refuse
them or the car. But it’s not what’s under
the tree that captures my heart. It is the
love of my Sailor, my family and friends
surrounding the tree that has my heart.
Even though I’ll be so far from so much
of my family, it will be celebrating “with”
you that is most important.
So fire up the web cam and charge the
phone: What I want for Christmas is con-
necting with you.

One of the most subtle actions we do

I am speaking specifically of “judging

Recently I was at a local store sitting on
the side because I had been helped, but I
was waiting nearby to receive repair for
an item. Two women walked up to the
counter to receive an item. They didn’t say
whether it was a new or a repaired item.
The gentleman who worked at the store
was appropriate and professional. He took
a long time to retrieve the item, returned
to ask specific questions and then disap-
peared to a back room to continue his
search.
While he was away, the women began
to whisper and judge him as incompetent,

 DUI simulator brings serious message to Navy bases
www.TheLighthouseNews.com
By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse editor
Engineering Aide 3rd Class Roger Al-
exander of Naval Mobile Construction
Battalion 28 wasn’t doing well. He was
weaving all over the road, and he was hav-
ing trouble on the curves. Finally, he gave
up.
The DUI simulator had won again.
“Between your impairedness and your
laughing, you didn’t have a chance,” said
fellow Seabee, Construction Mechanic 3rd
Class Christopher Covas.
Alexander, Covas and Equipment Op-
erator 1st Class Leonard Kelly were walk-
ing past the Beehive Gym at Naval Base
Ventura County Port Hueneme when they
spotted the DUI simulator, part of the
“Arrive Alive Tour 2010” that came to the
base on Thursday, Nov. 18.
One by one, they got behind the wheel
of the car, put on a headset and began

the legal limit. All of them ended up get-
ting “citations.”
“I would not be behind the wheel,”
Kelly said as he climbed out. “The slower

you go, the better, but I wouldn’t have been
there to begin with.”
The goal is to get everyone to feel that
way, said George Egeler, base safety man-
ager.
“If we are able to change the habits of
one person, we will have made a differ-

ence,” he said.
About 150 people got behind the wheel
of the simulator, which also visited Navy
installations at Lemoore and Seal Beach
last month as part of a holiday safety-
awareness campaign. It was brought out
by a Grand Rapids, Mich., company,
U.N.I.T.E. International.
“It is designed to show you how hard it
is to regain control when you lose it and
how difficult it is to avoid unexpected ob-
stacles while compensating for the delayed
reaction time inherent with alcohol in-
toxication,” company literature states.
The car is also equipped with a program
that demonstrates the effects of texting
while driving.
Jan Griffith, who has worked as an im-
paired-driving awareness instructor for the
company since 2009 and who ran the
simulator that day, said reaction time can
be even worse for those texting than for
those driving under the influence.
“With texting, it’s a matter of luck,” he
said. “You are completely moving your
attention from the road. If you happen to
look up in time, you’re fine. If not ….”
Moreover, people get in the habit of
texting while driving.
“The more you do it, the bigger danger
it is,” Griffith said. “All you have to do is
look down at the wrong time.”
Whether it’s texting and driving or
drinking and driving, the message is the
same, Griffith said: Don’t do it.

Enlisted Spouses Club off to good start
By Jenelle Hatzung
NESC
The Cheesecake Factory, Bunco
and Starbucks.
These are just three of the many
things that make the Navy Enlisted
Spouses Club (NESC) a successful
and lively group.
In September, Naval Base Ven-
tura County welcomed the NESC
as another one of its support/social
groups for Navy spouses. Our pur-
pose is to give spouses a social out-
let to meet new people and build
their support system — and let’s face
it: Everyone loves a good game of
Bunco!
The first-ever Spouses Club has a
great mix of veteran and new spous-
es, so you’re guaranteed to have
someone who is sitting in the same
boat as you are (no pun intended).
Need to vent, express excitement
The Lighthouse
over your newest sweater or just
straight squawk? Well, you’ve come
to the right place! The get-togethers
and nights out on the town are prov-
ing to be a great venue for spouses
to share stories, get support from
one another and to just go out and
have a good time.
We celebrated our first spouses’
night out at The Cheesecake Fac-
tory a couple of weeks ago. It was a
wonderful experience to sit with a
group of spouses who know exactly
what you are going through, or who
are more than happy to give you a
taste of what you will be going
through in the future. Tips on how
to cope when x, y and z are driving
you nuts/sad/lonely are included!
Sometimes we all need a reminder
that we are not alone in what we
do.
Bunco Night was by far the loud-
est, rowdiest event thus far for the
spouses club. Bunco is an easy dice
game that elicits laughing and yelling
by all who play — guaranteed! And
the constant table rotation that is
part of the game means that at the
end of the night, you’ll be closer to
the other spouses.
Meeting at Starbucks for our bi-
weekly Coffee Club was the perfect
midday pick-me-up and proved to
be a productive conversation.
While sitting around with our
holiday-inspired coffees, we de-
cided we needed a crafting club.
This January, we will be starting a
crafting group that will include
sewing and knitting, among other
things. All crafters are welcome!
In addition to our Game Night
and nights out on the town, we
also take turns hosting a Book
Club. We’ve held two meetings
thus far: one on “The Guernsey
Literary Potato Peel Pie Society”
and one on “Rooftops of Tehran.”
Of course, meeting to discuss the
book often leads to discussions
about something completely unre-
lated — and this is always wel-
come!
Also in January, we will be start- Meeting at Starbucks recently are members of the Navy

It’s Christmas: Leave work at home and focus on family
Christmas leave is an ideal time to let
go of work and be with your family.
Sounds easy!
Many Sailors initially tell me, “I leave
work at work when I go home.” However,
on closer inspection, they often eventu-
ally admit that it is hard to let go of the
effects of the up-tempo, highly structured,
rank-oriented environment in their shops,
on the ship and on deployment once they
go home.
The key to leaving work at work is to
make a plan for the transition from work
to home. It is critical to find a way to slow
down between work and home. This slow-
ing down needs to be done on purpose or
Thursday, December 9, 2010
else it won’t happen.
Why slow down? You are slowing down
in order to reconnect with your spouse,
partner, children, friends, extended fam-
ily members and yourself. You are slowing
down to make eye contact, to be affection-
ate, to listen, to play, to talk and to be
present. Human beings (especially chil-
dren) connect better when the pace is
slower.
How do you slow down? It helps to slow

Give the gift of your undivided attention
this Christmas. Give your mind a break
from the never-ending to-do list in your
head by writing down that list and then
letting go of reviewing it in your mind. It
is hard to give your attention freely to oth-
ers if it is caught up with all the things
you have to do in the near or distant fu-
ture. According to ScienceDaily (Nov. 12,
2010) — “People spend 46.9 percent of
their waking hours thinking about some-
thing other than what they’re doing, and
this mind-wandering typically makes them
unhappy.” The most precious gift of all is
your time and attention.
Give your mind a break from all the
judging — the judging that says that you
are not good enough or that others are
not good enough. Give yourself and oth-
ers a break from the judging that focuses
on what is wrong. Instead, focus on what
is right in your life. There’s a lot of giving
you can do this Christmas that won’t cost
a thing! You cannot give your full atten-

ments. Otherwise, those moments will pass
you by and you won’t realize what you
have missed.
In truth, it is important to skillfully
navigate the transition between work and
home every workday. Each day before you
go home, briefly imagine how you would
like to be with your family members and
friends. Imagine connecting with your
spouse and your children in a positive way.
Before you go home, try exercising to dis-
charge the stress of the day so that the
renewed you is the one your family and
friends see.
Skillfully navigating the way between
work and home is not easy, but it is well
worth the effort. If you are having diffi-
culty making the transition between work
and home, do not hesitate to take advan-
tage of the free personal counseling of-
fered at the Fleet and Family Support
Center. Sometimes all it takes is a little
support and encouragement to get you
pointed in the right direction.

Camp trains athletes for Warrior Games
CONTINUED FROM 1
many people care about them.”
Three Coast Guardsmen and 18 Navy
personnel – including three Seabees – spent
three days training in one or more of the
seven sports that will be part of the War-
rior Games: shooting, swimming, archery,
track and field, cycling, sitting volleyball
and wheelchair basketball.
Each is recovering from an injury or
disability sustained while on active duty.
Some have a traumatic brain injury, others
suffer from post-traumatic stress syn-
drome. Some have lost use of a limb, oth-
ers have a spinal cord injury. Cancer
robbed one Seabee of his eyesight.
The training camps, coordinated on
base by Morale, Welfare and Recreation,
and Navy and Coast Guard participation
in the Warrior Games are projects of Safe
Harbor, the organization under the Chief
of Naval Operations that coordinates non-
medical care of seriously wounded, ill and
injured Sailors, Coast Guardsmen and
their families.
“The focus here is on ability, not dis-
ability,” Capt. Jim McHugh, commanding
officer of NBVC, told the athletes as he
opened the three-day training camp Thurs-
day, Dec. 2. “Enjoy your days here and
make sure it’s the best experience you can
make it.”
The athletes did just that.
“It’s been an awesome couple of days,”
Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Jacob Em-
mott, who was shot in the head in Af-
ghanistan in April, said on Saturday. “I
threw the discus for the first time, and I
think I’ll be able to contribute to the
team.”
Emmott had said earlier in the camp
that he had recently suffered from depres-
sion.
“I came here and now I’m feeling good
about myself,” he said.
Culinary Specialist Seaman Judi Boyce,
who has undergone several brain surgeries
because of a rare disease, agreed that the
camp “was a blast.”
“It’s like a reunion for those who played
in the last Warrior Games,” she said. “This
is one awesome group.”
The camp was also a lot of work.
On the second day, retired Builder 1st
Class Doug McCarron was flat on his
back in the grass next to the track at the
Beehive Gym.
“It’s been good exercise, but I’m feeling
it,” he said. “I’m sore in my arms and in
my — well, in my buttocks.”
AO2 Selemani Johnson, his body strapped into
a throwing chair so all his efforts can go into his
upper back, shoulder and arm, throws the shot
during track and field training camp at Naval
Base Ventura County.
McCarron, who uses a cane to help him
walk because his lower body was injured
in 2008 when an improvised explosive de-
vice went off in Iraq, had spent the first
day playing seated volleyball. Competitors
sit on the floor and use their arms to push
themselves around and then try to set the
ball as high in the air as possible so a team-
mate has time to get over to the ball and
spike it.
“This sport levels the playing field for
anyone with lower-body trauma,” ex-
plained Fred Morgan, NBVC athletic
director.
In other words, it’s hard on the arms
and upper body. And McCarron was feel-
ing every bit of it. But it wasn’t long before
he was back on his feet, and later in the
afternoon, he was flying across the gym
playing wheelchair basketball.
The athletic events were adapted to meet
whatever special needs the athletes had.
Retired Builder Constructionman Dan
Peters, who lost his sight due to cancer,
ran sprints next to his friend, Angela Al-
len. They each held onto the end of a cloth
so Allen could guide Peters in a straight
line.
AO2 Selemani Johnson used a special
throwing chair to put the shot.
“We can modify the chair to fit the
person’s needs,” explained Pagel. “Some-
one who doesn’t have use of their abdom-
inal muscles or who is unstable doesn’t
have to worry about falling off the chair.
We can stabilize the body so all concentra-
tion can be focused on the muscles actu-
ally being used for the sport.”
With Johnson’s feet securely strapped,
field coach John Zavada showed the ath-
lete how to pull back his shoulder, push
his arm forward and release the shot. Each
time, he threw it farther, especially after
he started yelling as he pushed his arm
forward, getting more velocity in his arm
as he expelled all the air from his lungs.
As the group broke for lunch, a winded
Peters shared his thoughts on the morn-
ing.
“It’s been very informational,” he said.
“The coaching has been excellent. There’s
been a lot of focus on technique.”
Morgan and the Navy worked together
to recruit coaches from all over the coun-
try, including some who have experience
with U.S. Paralympic teams and others
who work for adapted sports foundations.
Some came from just down the street.
BUCN Dan Peters, who lost his eyesight to cancer, races in a

at Ventura High School. “You can’t blame
anything or anyone if something goes
wrong. It’s almost a lonely sport. It takes
discipline. Not too many people do it. And
these guys are doing it.”
In addition to training, the athletes
spent part of the camp talking to Navy
and Air Force students from the Naval
Construction Training Center, and on
Saturday afternoon, they took a cruise on
a tall ship out of Channel Islands Harbor,
the Bill of Rights. The cruise was arranged
by a group of veterans headed by Rodger
Morris.
“These wounded warriors never had a
real homecoming,” said Morris, who heard
about the training camp because he works
at NAVSEA. “We decided to put some-
thing on that said thank you, Bravo
Zulu.”
At the next camp in February, the 35-
member team that will compete in Colo-
rado will be selected. Some athletes who
couldn’t attend the first camp will be there,
and not all of the 21 who attended the
first one will return.

 Athletes talk frankly with Navy’s youngest

By Andrea Howry
Lighthouse editor
Ten of the 21 athletes training at Naval
Base Ventura County for the upcoming
Warrior Games in Colorado took a break
from their workouts Friday, Dec. 3, to talk
with the young Seabees and Air Force
students attending school at the Naval
Construction Training Center.
One by one, the athletes told their story
to the dozens of students gathered in the
Needham Theater.
Each told how the Navy had stood by
them, with a special program, Navy Safe
Harbor, making sure they transitioned
safely into life outside the hospital.
They talked about how their shipmates
had helped them through rocky times –
and still do.
And most of all, they talked about per-
severance, courage and the idea of never,
ever giving up.
“I took to heart the Seabee motto: Can
www.TheLighthouseNews.com
“It was rough in the beginning,” he told
the students. “There wasn’t a lot going for
me. Safe Harbor helped me figure out what
to do. And once I was introduced to these
games and I saw others doing stuff they
thought they’d never be able to do – it’s
great.”
Safe Harbor, a program of the Chief of
Naval Operations, helps with all non-med-
ical issues facing seriously injured or ill
Sailors, Coast Guardsmen and their fami-
lies. Accessible housing, employment,
transportation – Safe Harbor can help with
all that, as well as getting the newly injured
or ill back into society, including the
gym.
Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Jacob Em-
mott told the students that recovering from
an injury or illness isn’t a straight road of
improvement.
“It can get to you,” he said, adding that
only recently has he started to feel depres-
sion, even though it was last April when he

him to understand that the stroke he suf-

was shot in the head in Afghanistan while
providing medical assistance to two wound-

helps.”

Why this base?

“Knock on wood, hopefully I won’t be
training one of you one day,” he told the
students. “You are at the beginning of a
long journey, and when you go on from
this point, do everything 100 percent or
don’t do it at all. That’s what all this is
about.”
Cmdr. Charles Willmore, commanding
officer of NCTC, said he appreciated the
athletes taking time from their training to

Force students.
“It was great,” he said. “It was an op-

Certainly one Seabee is.
“I really envy you guys,” McCarron told
the hushed audience. “You’re on a special

I would. And know that if anything hap-

“We’re about two to three years ahead

edge and our facilities,” Morgan said. “No

Navy representatives visited the base,
and the deal was announced on Sept. 18
when the base hosted the Wounded War-

Sea Cadets meet admiral on Veterans Day
By BUC (SCW) Daniel Lynch
NCTC
The thought of Veterans Day is always
accompanied with visions of parades,
television military movie marathons and
a day off from work or school. Few citi-
zens actually understand the history be-
hind this sacred day, meant to honor the
men and women who have served this
great country.
However, this is not true for the United
States Naval Sea Cadets of the Ben
Moreell Battalion from Port Hueneme.
The cadets were invited to march in the
7th Annual San Fernando Veterans Day
Parade, which took place Nov. 11 and
featured as its grand marshal Adm. Mi-
chael G. Mullen, U.S. Navy, Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Mullen was raised in the San Fernando
Valley and graduated from Notre Dame
High School before starting his naval ca-
reer.

MRAP’s future
By Shane Montgomery
NFELC deputy public affairs officer
While warfighters continue to fight for
U.S. interests around the globe, advocates
for their safety met at Naval Facilities Ex-
peditionary Logistics Center (NFELC)
Nov. 18 to discuss the future of their Mine
Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP)
vehicles.
The meeting provided Navy leadership
information about the status of their two
primary MRAP variants. The $44 billion
MRAP program is managed by Paul
Mann of the Joint Program Office, who
is responsible for the cost, schedule and
performance of the program.
“The teamwork and collaboration at
every level between the JPO and Navy
professionals bodes well for the warfight-
ers,” Mann said. “Our intense focus on
logistics and sustainment initiatives will
keep these critical MRAP vehicles opera-
tionally relevant and ready to protect our
warfighters and enable mission success.”
According to Chris Cdebaca, one of the
meeting coordinators for NFELC, the
Navy has more than a billion dollars at
stake in the development and fielding of
the MRAP system.
Moreell Battalion, Lt. (j.g.) Randall Owen,
expressed enthusiasm and encouraged
maximum participation for the parade.
“Our cadets were thrilled with the op-
portunity to honor the nation’s veterans,”
Owen said. “We are never short of volun-
teers.”
During the Sea Cadets’ 38 years of ac-
tive service, hundreds have learned about
naval life and developed a sense of pride,
patriotism, courage and self-reliance, all
within an environment free of drugs and
gangs.
Executive Officer Logistics Specialist 1st
Class Cynthia Mencarelli organized and
executed the event for 12 cadets.
“The Sea Cadet community prides
themselves on giving back to their local
communities,” she said. “When presented
with this great opportunity, the cadets
were very eager to attend and honor all
of the great men and women of our armed
services.”
The parade showcased various military
Mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicles are used to set perimeter security for a
route development project n Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
“All three of our objectives were met
during the meeting, and the Navy further
benefitted from gaining a better perspec-
tive about the future state of the MRAP
within the Navy Expeditionary Enterprise
and the steps we need to take to sustain
it,” Cdebaca said. “This was the first Navy-
led program review on this program; how-
ever, they will become regular, with the
next scheduled for June 2011.”
While the future of the program is evolv-
units and veterans organizations. The
highlight came when the cadets met Mul-
len.
“Meeting Admiral Mullen was a once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity for the cadets,
including for myself,” Mencarelli said.
“Admiral Mullen was very gracious and
took his time to shake each cadet’s hand
as he presented them with his command
coin. Afterwards, he even took the time
to take a group photo with all of us. Need-
less to say, it was a very exciting moment
for all of us and one that will not be for-
gotten.” stated LS1 Mencarelli.
Owen agreed.
“Meeting Admiral Mullen is a privilege
that our cadets will always remember,” he
said.
The day was a complete success not only
for the parade organizers but also for the
Sea Cadets of the Ben Moreell Battalion.
The memories made will last a lifetime for
these young men and women.

ing, the focus to always improve the
process, ensure the mission and pro-
tect the warfighter is a priority for
everyone involved.
“While we are proud of our past
achievements throughout the MRAP
enterprise, this forum reminded us
just how important our continued
partnership is to develop solutions to
new and emerging challenges,” Mann
said.
NMCB 3 learning to cope with deployment to Afghanistan

so far it’s not so bad,” said Combs. “I’m
a disc golf fan so I have gotten a team
together and we are going to build a tem-
porary course and start having our own
disc golf tournaments very soon.”
For many of the other Sailors, keeping
in touch with their families during the
deployment is the best way to unwind.
“Communication has been big for me,”
said Steelworker 3rd Class (SCW) Kaylynn
Barajas of NMCB 3’s Echo Company, “it
is important to stay connected to my fam-
ily back home.”
According to Barajas, being able to rely
on others is another way to keep from get-
ting stressed out.
“Deployments like this one, where there
isn’t much to do except work, you have to
rely on the people around you to stay mo-
tivated,” she said. “My roommates and I
are spending time decorating for the up-
coming holidays.”
Many of the Seabees in NMCB 3 adapt-
ed to the environment by increasing their
physical activity and participating in sport-
ing events, including frequent departmen-
tal volleyball challenges.
Camp Krutke, the Seabee camp within
Camp Leatherneck, has limited yet effec-
tive morale and recreation facilities for the
troops and is frequently open for use to
all of the service members across the camp.
There is a phone center, three gyms, a
game and movie lounge with a small con-
cession stand, two volleyball courts and
a basketball court built with materials
used for runway emergency repairs called
AM2 matting.
“The department volleyball challenges
have been a healthy distraction,” said Yeo-
www.TheLighthouseNews.com
man 3rd Class (SCW) Gabriel Rodriguez,
from the Administration Department.
“After playing a few games, you realize
three hours passed by that you were able
to just enjoy being in the moment and not
worry about the stresses of deploy-
ment.”
Whether they are calling home or chal-
lenging another department to a game of
volleyball, the Seabees from NMCB 3 are
making the best of their deployment to
Afghanistan.

who discussed what it was like
growing up as a Native Ameri-
can.
Zavalla, an Air Force veteran
who served in Vietnam from 1965
to 1969, is currently the tribal re-
lations program liaison for the
Los Padres National Forest. He
is also a youth counselor, a silver-
smith and a member of the Screen
Actors Guild.
His wide-ranging talk began
with his Texas childhood — “I
grew up chewing mesquite while
hunting; I lived off the land” —
and ended with his return to the
home where he grew up. A slide
behind him showed that home, a
simple wooden structure with no
electricity.
Outside of remembering the
corner of the building where he
was born, the memories Zavalla
shared weren’t of the building.
They were of Texas bluebon-

relations program liaison for the
Los Padres National Forest. He
told a crowd of about 100 what it
was like growing up as a Native
American.
and the arroyo toad, are declining
or endangered.
“I hope we don’t end up in a
museum like the Neanderthals,”
he said. “If some species are en-
dangered, how do we know we
won’t be? After all, we breathe the
same air, live in the same environ-
ment.”
After his talk, Zavalla led the
the Command Museum of the U.S. Marine Corps
Recruitment Depot in San Diego.
“They had to carry about 80 pounds of radio
gear along with everything else,” explained Chuck
Archuleta, exhibits specialist with the museum.
Vandever’s talk was preceded by a smudging
ceremony outside Building 3015. While sage
burned, Tony Lil Hawk, a Cherokee from Mon-
tana, dragged a feather over each individual gath-
ered for the presentation.
“Smudging cleans us for what the creator has
to give us,” he said.
After Vandever’s presentation, the microphone
was given to Steven Schwartz, a NAVAIR envi-
ronmental protection specialist who has spent
more than 20 years researching the archaeology
of San Nicolas Island, which is now part of Naval
Base Ventura County. He gave an update on the
Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island, who lived
alone on the island for 18 years, only to die six
weeks after she was brought to Santa Barbara in
1853.
There are many mysteries surrounding the sto-
ry, which carries on through the generations thanks
to Scott O’Dell, whose 1960 book, “Island of the
Blue Dolphins,” is required reading for California
The Lighthouse
But even stories written at the time — including
interviews with the man who brought her to San-
ta Barbara, George Nidever — don’t answer the
most fundamental question: How did she come
to be alone on the island for 18 years? Did she
originally board a boat in 1835 when the other
four to 20 people living on the island left and then
jump overboard? If so, why? One of the males who
did leave, Blackhawk, refused to move from the
boat’s destination, San Pedro He would die there
about five years later when he accidentally hit his
head and drowned. Did he stay in San Pedro be-
cause he was the Lone Woman’s husband, and he
was waiting for her to join him?
But many mysteries have been answered. We
know what she ate and what she wore. Archae-
ologists have found spots where she cached food
and the water bottles that she made from surf grass
and washed-up tar.
“Little tidbits keep coming in,” Schwartz said.
Just recently, two redwood boxes full of artifacts
dating to that time period were found on the is-
land.
“Given her propensity to stash things, we believe
there’s a good chance it’s hers,” Schwartz said.
So why should the Navy take the time to learn

nets and of never needing batter-
ies because a child could play with
rocks and sticks forever.
“The land was a sandy loam,
and I could run around without
shoes,” he recalled. “I hated Sep-
tember because that meant I had
to go to school, and that meant I
had to buy shoes.”
He grew up loving nature, and
he can’t understand why some
species, like the tiger salamander
Tribal Dancers in a performance
of “Soldier Boy.”
Capt. Scott Heller, the acting
commanding officer of NSWC
PHD, thanked Zavalla and the
dancers for “not only entertaining
us but educating us about your
culture.”
“Diversity is the key to the
Navy’s success,” he told the audi-
ence. “With unique perspectives
come innovative solutions.”
elementary school students.
“For many children, this is their first lesson in
Native American culture,” Schwartz said.
He credited O’Dell with thoroughly researching
the story, although the author did take liberties.
For example, the characters in his book are much
younger than in reality — the Lone Woman is
believed to have been about 50 when she died. But
overall, Schwartz said, “O’Dell tried to weave as
accurate a story as he could.”
Electronic search engines have allowed today’s
researchers to dig more deeply for stories and in-
about Native American culture – the ancient and
the modern?
“Enhancing diversity — our knowledge and
understanding of other cultures — is important,
and today’s presentation is a poignant example of
why diversity makes our nation strong,” said Capt.
Richard Burr, vice commander of NAWCWD.
Only by knowing about other cultures and un-
derstanding them could the U.S. military have
utilized the skills of the Navajo code talkers, he
said. “And they saved thousands of U.S. lives,” he
added. 23
