� April 22, 2010 � � � � � � � � � � �Keep Rota the “Green Base of the Med”; Honor Children During Military Child Month Buenas dias! Spring is in full bloom, the weather keeps getting better and better and we as a team keep support-ing the war� ghter like nobody else. However, today I want to talk about Earth Day. � is week Naval Activities Spain

is joining the rest of the Department of Defense and the world in celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day. � is year’s theme for NAVACTS is “Every day is Earth day” However, if every day is Earth day, then why is it when I drive around the base, I see so much trash? If every day is Earth day, then why do people in the parking lots at the NEX and commis-sary walk right over trash

just like it didn't exist? Please pick it up and walk it to the trash cans that are all over the parking lot and dispose of it. I know we are not responsible for all of it, but we can help by picking it up. Trash doesn't do anything but build up and one way to stop this from happening is signing up for the adopt-a-road program. If there is a section of road you or your club wants to adopt, get a hold of me or Chief Master-at-Arms Fox and we will lay out a section for you or your group to take care of. You or your organization will be responsible for cleaning it once a month and you can take pride that you are making a di� erence.

We also need to manage our water. Just because we had a very wet winter, doesn't mean we can waste water this sum-mer. Don't water your lawns in the day time. Instead, water them at night or early in the morning. Same with the electricity - unplug your cell phone char-gers, computers and converters when not using them. At work, turn o� your monitors (leave your computer on) and printers at the end of the day. Simple little things like this can go a long way and can save you and the government money too. Being good stewards of the environment, which we are all entrusted to protect, isn’t easy and has required dynamic shi� s on how the DoD does business. I remember when I was on USS Bainbridge (CGN 25), when we had trash; we just dumped it over the fantail, (the back of the ship for our non-Navy folks). It didn’t matter what it was, anything went over. Now in the years since then, all ships in the � eet are equipped with some sort of mulcher and have robust recy-cling programs, just like we do here in Rota. Everything now is being recycled compared to when I was starting out in the Navy. Plastics are melted and made into pucks so they can be recycled. If we kept up with the status quo from 30 years ago, we could probably walk on all the trash from here to the Philippines. Good things have happened since then and we need to keep up with this here on the Iberian Peninsula. Being good environmental stewards doesn’t stop at the gates. When you leave your bases, remember we are guest of the Kingdom of Spain and of Portugal. A lot of us tend to forget that. Act like a guest. If you are a guest at somebody's house, you wouldn't throw trash on the � oor or in their front yard, so why do it here? When out in town, throw your trash

in the proper receptacles. Rota is the environmental gem of the region and the Navy. As the CMC, I am fortunate to be here with you to ensure we continue this tradition. Also, April is the Month of the Military Child. When I was a young man and not married, it never dawned on me the sacri� ces married people make everyday they are serving their country. Now that I am married and have children, I see that huge sacri� ce and our children are the ones who pay the most. You don't realize how much you miss out on their lives when you deploy. I did one six month deployment and Stephen grew up in front of my eyes. When you see them a� er that long period of time, they are all grown up. So my hats o� to the children, because they have a tough job and are something we tend to over look. Also, Feria is getting ready to start. Andalucía is known for Ferias. You can � nd one every weekend through August. It's a time of happiness and � esta. But we need to watch ourselves out there. Have a plan to enjoy this great cultural event, but please don't drink too much. Go out with a buddy and not alone. Enjoy the food. Enjoy the music and dance and all the sights and sounds that make this a great experi-ence. Don't drink and drive. Spanish police will have check points as will our security department, guaranteed. Keep some euro in your pocket. � e 5, 10, 15 euros you spend on the taxi is way less than the thousands you will spend if you drink and drive. I've experienced two years of Ferias and have enjoyed each one and I hope you do too. Keep up the great work in supporting the war� ghter and building those relationships with your host nations. Hasta luego. - CMC-

Policy on Participation in Host Nation Motorcycle Rallies

Certain types of events have, by their nature, an inherent capacity for injury, disability or death. � is year, as in years past, many of the participants in the motorcycle rallies being held April 30 – May 2 in cities around NAVSTA Rota, will heavily depend on emergency room services. Hundreds of “go fast” motorcycles will � ll the roadways. If you plan to travel on the roads by car or motorcycle on the above dates, be alert, be careful, but don’t

be fooled- safety will not be � rst in the minds of many of those sharing the road with you. All military personnel attached to COMNAVACSPAIN are prohibited from participation in host nation motorcycle rallies involving extreme or high-risk events. Attendance in a purely spectator role is authorized.

SA funeral service was held April 20 at the Rota Naval Base Squadron Ten

Hangar for the four Spanish soldiers who died April 16 when their helicop-

ter crashed in a mountainous area near in Haiti.

Shortly before the ceremony, King Juan Carlos I and Queen So� a gave

their condolences to the families of the deceased soldiers, who received a

posthumous Navy Cross of Merit with a yellow distinction.

Various political and military leaders throughout Spain attended the

event, including Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and

Minister for Defense, Carme Chacón, who described the four Spanish sol-

diers who died in the helicopter accident as “heroes.” � e Chief of Sta� of

Defense, Air Gen. José Julio Rodriguez, Chief of Sta� of the Navy, Adm.

Gen. Manuel Rebollo, and Admiral in Chief, Rota Naval Base, Rear

Adm. José Maria Pelluz also attended.

Pelluz invited NAVSTA Executive O! cer, Cmdr. Tom Eberhard to

represent Commander, U.S. Naval Activities, Spain during the ceremony.

Eberhard expressed his condolences to the friends and families of the

deceased.

“As a naval aviator, I understand how hard this must be for the

families of these brave soldiers,” said Eberhard. “We o� er our deepest

sympathies to the families and friends of these Spanish service members

- our thoughts and prayers are with them all.”

� e crash victims were part of a 450-mem-

ber Spanish military detachment sent to Haiti

aboard the supply ship Castilla a" er the Janu-

ary 12 earthquake that killed 220,000 people

and le" Port-au-Prince in ruins, said the

Spanish consul general in Haiti, Juan Pedro

Gomez.

� e aircra" , identi� ed by Spanish media

as a Bell AB-212, crashed in the he Fond

Verrettes area about 30 miles from Port-au-

Prince near Haiti's border with the Do-

minican Republic, which shares the island of

Hispaniola with Haiti.

All those aboard were found dead a" er

Spanish and U.S. military teams reached the

site, U.N. peacekeeping mission spokesman

George Ola-Davies said.

� e Spanish personnel were Cmdr. Luis

Fernando Torija Sagospe, 44, from Madrid,

Lt. Francisco Forne Calderón, 37, from

Naval Station Rota and Moron Air Base absorbed many

U.S. military � ights diverted from Northern European

Routes due to ash being spewed from the Iceland volcanic

eruption April 16 – 19.

Rota typically averages about eight to 13 � ights a day but

saw double that amount over the weekend. Moron Air Base,

which is about an hours drive north of NAVSTA Rota, aver-

ages one or two � ights a day. Over the weekend, they had

about 10 times that amount.

NAVSTA Rota Executive O� cer, Cmdr. Tom Eberhard

expressed complete con� dence in NAVSTA personnel to

handle the challenge.

"Because of the incredible teamwork between our Navy

and Air Force personnel here at NAVSTA Rota, we are able

to meet this increased demand," said Eberhard. "We have

some of the best Sailors and Airmen in the world. � ey are

always focused on accomplishing the mission."

Volcanic ash creates a cloud that is hazardous to engines.

When absorbed into the engine, it can cause the engine

to � ame out. Air Mobility Command � ights that usually

traverse the northern European air route were diverted to

the southern, Mediterranean route via Rota and Moron to

avoid the hazard.

Rota, Moron Receive Diverted Military Flights Lt. Col. Mike Cannon, deputy commander, 521st Air

Mobility Operations Group said AMC has a � xed route

infrastructure to handle its aircra! and although it is a � xed

route it is very � exible.

“We are meeting U.S. Transportation Command require-

ments by � exing our capability to our � xed locations to

handle the air � ow,” said Cannon. “� e men and women

here at the 725th Air Mobility Squadron have adapted to

meet the work load by increasing the work shi! s and duty

hours to handle the increase in tra� c.”

A team of mechanics, from other bases not a# ected by

the ash cloud, was sent to Moron in conjunction with the

496th Air Base Squadron to work on planes as they transit

from Europe and the U.S.

“We love it when there are a lot of tails on the ramp,” said

Cannon. “Air Mobility professionals take a lot of pride in

the fact they are pushing a lot of cargo and troops through

the system to the � ght and back to the states. � e work load

has doubled; we rolled up ours sleeves and did the work.”

Cannon said the Navy is a wonderful partner in Rota.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command provided a bus and

driver to transport maintainers from Rota to Moron. “� e

support from the Navy at Rota as usual is phenomenal.”

port Centers, Rear Adm. Mark F. Heinrich

April 5 and 6.

Heinrich was joined on the visit with

his Deputy Commander, Bill Bickert, FISC

Command Master Chief (SW/AW) Je# rey

Pickering, and FISCSI Commanding O� cer,

Capt. Dana Weiner.

Heinrich visited FISCSI-Rota to see the

role it plays in providing logistic services to

NAVSTA Rota, deployed vessels in the 6th

Fleet area of responsibility and various units

conducting intermodal operations.

Senior leaders from various tenant com-

mands and department heads also provided

Heinrich with an overview of their opera-

tions in supporting � eet operations.

During an all hands call Heinrich said,

“Rota is a strong blend of military, civilian

and even a few contractors.”

Heinrich went on to praise them for

their professionalism and thanking them

for their hospitality. He was also pleased

to identify the strong diversity in the Rota

workplace.

During breakout sessions Pickering’s

discussed his vision for the site with the en-

listed personnel and Bickert took the time to

speak with the civilians and local nationals

and discuss upcoming areas of opportunity.

Many of the o� cers and chiefs gath-

ered to eat lunch with Heinrich where he

discussed the current issues within the

NAVSUP enterprise including ERP 1.1

development and partnering initiatives the

Navy Operational Logistic Support Center,

Defense Logistic Agency and COMFISCS

were doing.

Regional Supply O� cer, Cmdr. Ivan Sta-

megna said, “the Admiral was very pleased

with the visit. I couldn’t be more proud to

lead a group of elite logistic professionals

who provide great support to the warf-

ighter.”

ÇRota, Being Green is Easy

S P B MC (SW) P C

I remember as a kid sitting in my living room in California, eating my

Cheerios, and watching Sesame Street and seeing Kermit the Frog sing “It’s not

easy being green.” While the song came out in 1970, the same year the � rst

Earth Day was celebrated, I will always associate this song, which all kids and

adults know, with being environmentally savvy. So is Kermit right?

However, in 2010, 40 years a� er the � rst Earth Day and Kermit singing

that song, Naval Station Rota is joining more than one billion people in 190

countries in taking the time from their busy lives change how we as humans

treat the world.

From April 19 to April 23, the NAVSTA Rota community is coming to-

gether to make an environmental impact on and o� base.

“Earth Week brings the whole community together,” said Gay Gates Envi-

ronmental Management System Manager at NAVSTA Rota. “We make sure the

bases programs are keeping the theme of ‘Earth Day; Every Day’ alive all year.”

For the environmental o� ce, Rota’s reputation as the “Emerald Base of the

Med” makes the NAVSTA environmental o� ce very proud.

“We were extremely proud when Capt. Mosk signed our EMS letter, the � rst

in the Region to do this,” said Gates. “� is was a tremendous moment for the

environmental o� ce and the command.”

Rota has a robust EMS program in place to make it easy to be green. Com-

mands, o� ces, homes and schools can recycle plastic cans, glass bottles and

paper. But Rota is also making an environmental impact by cutting down on

how much energy it consumes.

Turning o� lights, lowering refrigerator thermostats and maximizing our

dishwashers and washing machines capacity in order to decrease the number

of times they are used, all make a substantial impact.

Also, with so much sun here in Southern Spain, most Americans who live

out in town are making huge impact and don’t even know it.

“My home is equipped with a solar water heating system,” said Bernadette

Herring, Store Administrator at the Rota Commissary. “Because of the weather

here in Spain, I’m able to use it approximately 10 months per year instead of

gas.”

It takes coal and gas to make energy outside the base. So turning o� home

computers, transformers when not in use and not leaving the water running,

makes a di� erence. And if you think just because you live out in town you can’t

bring your recyclables on base, Gates said they are glad to take those products.

“We recycle plastics, labeled one, two and three, mixed paper and wood

dunnage, aluminum and glass,” said Gates. “Anything recyclable from your

home can be put into the recycle bins.”

Gates said NAVSTA Rota recycles enough to pay for its own recycling

program. It pays for two employee’s wages, the cost of the building and cost of

replacing recycling equipment like recycling bins.

“� e more we make, the more of a robust program we can have here. We

are the only base in the Region that actually makes money o� of its recy-

clables and doesn’t have to pay someone to take them.”

Gates could not stress enough how much people volunteer and step up to

be a part of Earth Week. “� is really shows that Rota is a leader in envi-

ronmental programs. Our o� ce thanks the Rota community for making a

di� erence all year and not just this one week.”

� e Rota community continues carrying on the traditions of Earth Week

that were started 40 years ago. So, maybe Kermit was wrong when he sang

that song. It is easy being green every day at Naval Station Rota.

area,” said Burnidette Herring, Rota Commissary store administrator. “In Europe we

are required to separate all refuse items. We stress the importance of recycling at home

and here on the job.”

Commissary customers have made a huge impact on the environment by switching

to reusable, recyclable bags. Since being launched in 2007, more than three million

reusable bags have been sold and in 2009, DeCA added three new bags: a larger green

bag, a thermal green bag and a sturdy canvas bag.

“We try our part to be Earth friendly,” said Nicole Maneen who collects bags from

various stores when she goes back to the U.S. to visit. “� ey area so easy to use. At

home we probably have 100 of the plastic ones balled up. With the recyclable, I just

grab them and go and I know I am making a di� erence.”

Herring said she was ecstatic patrons really care about the Earth. “We sell a great

deal of the green reusable bags and the count grows higher each week.”

For Earth Day 2009 DeCA launched a promotion campaign showcasing sustainable

products to that would improve the environment. � at commitment to green prod-

ucts is evidenced with DeCA currently stocking more than 20 double concentrated

products, on its shelves at commissaries worldwide. � ese concentrated products are

more powerful than their unconcentrated counterparts and are user and environment-

friendly.

“Our green products sell very well compared to a couple years ago,” said Herring.

“My theory is the reason the products are selling so well now is more patrons are aware

commissaries carry green products and more and patrons are conscientious about sav-

ing the planet.”

While some patrons may feel the Commissary doesn’t stock a lot of environmentally

and friendly products, Herring said that is not true. Over the years, DeCA has listened

to its customers and continues to strive to meet their demands.

“� e Commissary sells a number of environmentally friendly products to include

baby food, and organic dog food, energy saving bulbs and many other products,” said

Herring. “Come shop at your Commissary and check out all our environmental prod-

ucts. It's worth the trip."

Going Organic For Earth DayIn his book, Look to the Land, Lord

Northbourne coined the term organic farming to describe a holistic, ecological-ly-balanced approach to farming in con-trast to what he called chemical farming, which relies on "imported fertility" and "cannot be self-su� cient nor an organic whole."

Fast forward to 2010, where more Americans are interested in what or-ganic means. Is it healthier for you to eat organic? Is it safer for you and your kids? What part does organic foods play in your overall health?

“Coming from the health promotion side of the house, we discussed what we could bring to Earth Week,” said Monica Shutt, Health Promotion Coordinator at US Naval Hospital Rota. “I did a lot of research to de� ne what organic products are and what components are important to consider in organic products.”

Schutt said while organic products are important, they are not necessarily healthier. Take an apple and an organic apple for example. � ey are pretty much equal in nutritional value, but one may cause you to stop because of the pesti-cides.

“Consumers need to think about how much of those they are willing to con-sume as a consumer and make the right choice,” she said.

In 2007, Naval Station Rota opened a new Commissary. Schutt said since open-ing, she has seen an improvement in the quality of organic foods o� ered.

“Both of the managers are open and receptive to suggestions in trying to � nd

new organic products,” she said. “People are interested in organics. If you ever go in for organic milk, you will see that it disappears o� the shelves quickly.”

One display at the Earth Week Head-quarters this week was a list called Schutt calls the “dirty dozen,” which are to safe not to eat organic when you are thinking of a cost saver; or the “clean 15,” fruits and vegetables that are best to buy organic.

“A lot of times, organ-ics cost a little more than regular,” said Schutt. “Doing research, you can � nd out which organic products are necessary to pay the extra price for or what you are willing to spend money on, and also what you don't need to spend extra money on.”

If you are thinking about making the switch or start using and organic product during Erath Week, Schutt said research is key to making an informed choice.

.MWR's Greens, Facilities Go Green S B J S, MWR

Many may have noticed the removal of 250 eucalyp-

tus trees this past year. If you are not a botanist, you may

have been disappointed by the removal. However, this

was actually one of MWR’s greatest initiatives in becom-

ing environmentally sound.

Eucalyptus tree draws a tremendous amount of water

from the soil through the process of transpiration, (the

loss of water through plant parts such as roots.) A euca-

lyptus, depending on the size of the tree will draw any-

where from 80 to 200 liters of water per day. In addition

to using more water, they kill o� surrounding plant life

by releasing a chemical into the soil to which local plants

have no resistance. A� er removing 250 eucalyptus trees,

MWR replanted 1, 250 native Andalucían trees.

“Although these trees are only saplings now, I think

future generations of our community will appreciate the

fruits of our labor,” says Scott Jungk, MWR Director.

Along with the removal of the eucalyptus trees, MWR

also replanted the back nine holes with Bermuda grass,

which also requires signi� cantly less irrigation than the

rye grass, which it replaced.

“Bermuda grass requires 30 percent less water than

the previous grass,” said Rick � ompson, MWR Golf Pro

Shop Manager. “I tell my guys, if the grass only requires

20 minutes of watering, 40 minutes won’t make any more

of a di� erence and to shut the water o� a� er 20 minutes.”

Many other MWR facilities are doing their part for

the environment as well. � e Fitness Center, one of the

highest consumers of energy, strives to remind everyone

to take part in conserving energy by posting signs in

various locations, encouraging patrons to “turn o� the

lights” and use the natural sunlight during peak hours.

Doors and windows are kept closed when the AC or

heat is running and multiple recycling containers can be

found around the facility.

At Expeditions, one can � nd motion-censored lights

in the restrooms, multiple recycling containers, and lim-

ited ! orescent light usage during the day. Sta� members

are encouraged to reuse computer paper for internal

documents and all ADSL computers are powered down

nightly.

You will also � nd a very environmentally conscious

and motivated Fleet Recreation Coordinator, Tom Durn-

ing. � e Liberty and ITT sta� warned not to be caught

throwing an aluminum can in the trash within earshot

of Tom. A sta� member commented that you can catch

him “trash can diving” to retrieve cans of environmen-

tally careless patrons. Tom sets the standard for his sta�

and is very encouraging of both his Expeditions sta� and

patrons to recycle, conserve and reuse.

Durning said, "I'm just trying to do my part and set a

positive example for others.”

� ere are more chemicals in the average American home today than there were in the average chemical laboratory 100 years ago.

According to the Massachusetts Audubon Society, one gallon of gasoline/oil can contaminate 750,000 gallons of drinking water.

More than 50 percent of America's aluminum is recycled, yet, 2 million tons of aluminum cans, containers and other types of pack-aging are thrown away each year.

If just 25% of American homes used 10 fewer plastic bags a month, we’d save over 2.5 billion bags a year.

Recycling Tips to Remember, From NAVSTA EMS

_ ` April 22, 2010 a b c d e f g a h i j cNewspaper advice columns will o� en print letters complaining about a spouse snoring or other

small irritation. As o� en as those letters are featured in these columns, they are soon followed up

with letters from widows and widowers who will say, “I used to hate

my husband’s snoring, but now that he’s gone, I would give anything

to have him lying beside me during the night, snoring and all.” Or,

“My wife used to nag me about my appearance. But since she has

died, I can now see no one cares about me the way she did.” What

is obvious is these people have learned in the end those little marital

irritations really mean very little.

In a marriage, you and your spouse are distinctly di� erent indi-

viduals, the way God created you. Opposites o� en attract, one of you

may be very laid back and less concerned about order and neatness,

while the other may be intense and obsessively neat and organized.

One of you may be fun loving and friendly, while the other more serious and empathetic. Of course,

these di� erences are guaranteed at times to produce some irritations but the key is not to focus on

these di� erences and irritations.

� e chances are what brought you together with your mate, was in fact his or her strengths

where you were weak and vice versa. You, as the more extroverted one in your marriage, may have

been unquestionably drawn to the more quiet and so� spoken man or woman that you were court-

ing. � at fun loving man or woman you chose to marry was at one time the one you wanted to

explore and enjoy for a lifetime opening up a whole new world you had yet to experience. Equally

true, that quieter and seriously minded man or woman may have helped ground you, o� ering the

kind of love, support and stability you once thought could make all the di� erence in the future in

a successful life together.

Couples seeking marriage counseling are not uncommonly asked to write down what � rst attracted

them to each other and re� ect and share that with one another. It forces a couple to look back and

see what really brought them together—good, bad or indi� erent to their relationship. � ose di� er-

ences between you and your mate were undoubtedly in place when you � rst married, but if you are

experiencing di� culties it may be you have begun to focus on the negative side of those di� erences

rather than the positive side of who you are together. As the widow and widower so powerfully

remind us, don’t get angry about little things. Instead let God who has created both you and your

mate, help you gain a deep appreciation for your spouse and for your marriage together—even for

those little things that sometimes irritate you. As Proverbs 10:12 reminds us, “Hatred stirs up dis-

sension, but love covers over all things.”

provide at least 0.6 grams of soluble � ber per serving. Soluble

� ber is found in fruits and vegetables as well as grain prod-

ucts such as some cereals and regular unsweetened oatmeal.

Insoluble � ber helps with regular bowel movements. In

the gastrointestinal tract, insoluble � ber attracts water, creat-

ing so� er, bulkier stools. � is helps with the prevention and

treatment of hemorrhoids, diverticulitis and constipation.

One high source of insoluble � ber includes prunes which

contain a laxative substance. Other sources are the skins of

fruits and vegetables as well as bran and whole-grains such as

whole-wheat � our and all Bran cereal.

Both forms of � ber can help with weight management.

Foods high in � ber also tend to be low in fat and simple

sugars providing less total calories. Fiber aids with weight

management by accumulating � uid and slowing down the

digestion and absorption process thus allowing you to feel

fuller longer and not as hungry.

If you are not accustomed to eating a high � ber diet on

a regular basis, please don’t go out and change all your food

choices to high � ber options. It is recommended that you

Eat Your Fiber, Mother Nature's Mover I am going to introduce a product found naturally in

may be wondering what product this is. But � rst, do you or

someone you know su! er from heart

disease, constipation or irregular

bowel movements? Are you trying

to lose weight, but feel hungry all

the time? If you answered yes to any

of these questions, then say hello

to � ber. According to the Food and

Drug Administration, the daily

recommended intake of � ber is 20-35 grams. � e average

American does not consume half of this amount. � ere are

two types of � ber that promotes health and wellness - soluble

and insoluble.

Soluble � ber may help to protect against coronary heart

disease, colon cancer and gallstone formation. Furthermore,

it can help reduce cholesterol levels by breaking up plaque

buildup in the bloodstream. To achieve this, the food item

HEALTHBEATU.S. NAVAL HOSPITAL

ROTA, SPAIN

L. C. B K, R D, USNH N, I

U.S. Naval Hospital Rota Spain held it’s � � h annual Host Nation Health Symposium in El Puerto de Santa Maria, April 16.

� e purpose of this annual event is to exchange ideas and techniques with USNHRS civilian counterparts in Andalucía as well as with military health professionals at other military installations in Spain.

� is year’s main theme of “Update in Respiratory Diseases in Adults and Children” included six lectures with speci� c coverage in areas of allergies, sleep apnea, H1N1 and sinus diseases and their complications.

“� e idea for this annual meeting is not only a professional meeting, but an interac-tion,” said Capt. Roberto Cabassa, who is a dentist at USNHRS and Symposium Course Director. “A� er � ve years of meeting other healthcare professionals in the area, it is as simple as picking up the phone and talking to the provider and seeing how our patients are doing. � is is great, because, not only are we giving the best care possible, but the safest care and doing the best for our people.”

To enhance the interaction and discussions, simultaneous translation from Eng-lish to Spanish and vice versa can be heard on headsets for attendees and speakers to enhance the level of communication. A� er each lecture, presenters held question and answer sessions with the audience and gave in depth responses.

Ricky Koons runs a small ambulatory clinic at Moron Air Base for the U.S. Air Force contingent stationed there. � is was the third conference he has attended and said it helps him interrelate with the host nation, especially since he depends on about 95 percent on Spanish health care facilities.

“We usually take most of our patients directly to Spanish healthcare providers,” said Koons. “So this event is nice to have that face-to-face interaction with the Spanish and other American health professionals. � is is very reassuring for me.”

Helping to build a better understanding and dialogue is a two way street. For Span-ish attendees, coming to the event and giving a lecture was an honor. Dr. Alsonso de Cuvillo Bernal an Ear, Nose and � roat specialist at Hospital de Jerez and symposium guest speaker, said he sees about one or two American patients a week.

“I am glad to meet other doctors and look forward to working with them,” said Cuvillo. “We work together with a lot of patients. I am happy to share my experiences with the Americans and I was glad to attend and learn about other respiratory diseases I may not be that familiar with.”

Cabassa said USNHRS sends about 1,200 patients a year to local health care provid-ers in the surrounding area and this symposium and knowing the provider on the other side, makes things easier.

“Knowing who is out there, we can directly talk to a neurosurgeon out there who is taking care of our patients,” said Cabassa. “We have established such a relation that

S P B MC (SW) P C

we feel comfortable walking in, not getting special treatment, but ease in making the process work for the bene� t of our patients.”

Cabassa feels the symposium is a great way to learn about the host nation’s culture, one of the bene� ts he feels of being overseas.

“Our Spanish attendees learn and get a feeling on how we do things in our hospital and we get to learn how they do things in their health system,” said Cabassa. “I hope we can keep doing this every year, so we can be acquainted with what is outside the gate bringing our two communities together.”

gradually increase your intake of � ber. If you do not, chances

are your body won’t react kindly and you may experience

side e! ects such as gas, bloating, heartburn, diarrhea or

constipation. If you gradually increase your daily intake by

one serving per day for a few days and then increase that by

another daily serving, your body will adapt a lot easier. When

increasing your � ber intake, drink adequate amounts of � uid.

If not there is a good chance constipation will result instead

of regulating bowel movements. Recommended � uid intake

is eight 8 ounce glasses or 64 ounces daily. � is does not have

to be plain water. Fluids can be milk, lemonade, ice tea, soup,

jello and fruit.

� e DRI of � ber can be met if foods are chosen wisely.

When reading a food label, a rule of thumb is three grams

of � ber per serving as a good high � ber choice. Since both

soluble and insoluble � ber have many bene� ts to promoting

health, include a wide variety of fruits and vegetables along

with whole grain products daily. Chances are if you include

these food choices into all your meals, you will meet the

recommended DRI of 20-35 grams per day.

� e criterion for the Battle E� ciency Award is the overall readiness of the command to

S P B MMC Y K, NMCB P A

carry out its assigned wartime tasks, and is based on a year-long evaluation. To achieve the

award, a ship or unit must demonstrate the highest state of battle readiness.

During the award grading period, NMCB 7 completed more than 53,000 man-days of

construction on 74 projects in support of Marine Corps, Army and Special Operations units

within the U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility. During their deployment in sup-

port of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, NMCB 7 performed the

largest tactical airli! movement in Naval Construction Force history during a mid-deployment

shi! from Iraq to Afghanistan.

For many of the battalion’s Sailors, like Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Michael

B. Lavender, this is the # rst time they have received a Battle "E" in their naval career.

"I am extremely proud of the way this battalion performed throughout its last deployment,"

said Lavender. "I will transfer in two months and it is great to see that our hard work and

dedication did not go unnoticed.”

NMCB 7 and its detachments are currently deployed to various locations throughout Europe

and Africa as part of the battalion's regularly scheduled 2010 deployment, with the main body

of the battalion operating from Camp Mitchell at Naval Station Rota. In January, the battalion

deployed an air detachment of 85 Seabees to assist in Operation Uni# ed Response, in response

to the 7.0 earthquake that struck Haiti Jan. 12.

NMCB 7, o! en referred to as "� e Magni# cent Seven", is one of the original 10 Seabee

battalions authorized by the Chief of the Navy's Bureau of Yards and Docks, in 1942. � e

battalion is homeported in Gulfport, Miss., and is comprised of approximately 600 highly

skilled war# ghters.

VENTSPILS, Latvia -- A Deployment for

Training of 24 Seabees, from Naval Mobile

Construction Battalion Seven, started con-

struction projects in preparation for Baltic

Operations 2010.

BALTOPS is an exercise sponsored by

United States European Command to promote

a mutual understanding of maritime interop-

erability between U.S. Navy, NATO, and non-

NATO participants.

“Our mission is to provide Exercise Re-

lated Construction in support of BALTOPS

2010,” said Ensign Liwei Chen, DFT Latvia Of-

# cer in Charge. “We will establish a # ve acre

base camp for a Marine landing group and

place a reinforced concrete pad for a maritime

pre-positioned ship o$ oad of Marine support

equipment. If time permits, we will engage in

U.S. Embassy-coordinated humanitarian mis-

sions.”

DFT Latvia’s emphasis is on construction

trades needed for expeditionary camp setup

and humanitarian relief. � e construction

tempo has been extremely high, as all projects

must be completed by June. Seabees have

faced unforeseen challenges early in their

mission. Melting snow, which has oversatu-

rated the ground around base camp, has been

the primary challenge, making heavy equip-

ment operations a very di� cult and time-

consuming evolution.

“Having been on multiple Detachments

and DFTs, I think that this will be some of

the best experiences the younger Seabees will

have,” said Chief Equipment Operator Jerry

Greer, Senior Enlisted Advisor and Assistant

O� cer in Charge. “I’m looking forward to

a safe deployment and hope the troops take

back great memories of our partnership with

the Latvians.”

DFT Latvia’s two primary projects are to

construct a # ve acre gravel laydown pad, to be

located at base camp, and a dune cut which

will enable Marine tanks to be o$ oaded with

minimal damage to surrounding forests. � e

DFT also has plans to improve their current

camp conditions, which will bene# t the Lat-

vian National Guard, who will take control of

the camp upon completion of BALTOPS 2010.

If you ever wanted to know what is going on in the com-

munities around Naval Station Rota, or how to buy tickets to

a bull � ght, or the best places to visit in Spain, then Manuel

Alba-Jamie is just the person you need to turn to get these

answers and more.

As the newest member of NAVSTA Rota’s Public A� airs

O� ce, Manuel is the new Community Relations Advisor

responsible for improving the relationship among the U.S.

military, their Spanish counterparts and the communities in

which they reside.

“My goal is to enlarge the relations between the two

cultures and see more participation with the communities,”

said Manuel who is also setting up programs to integrate the

communities and act as a liaison between the two cultures.

“I will inform the community of the festivities, celebrations,

sporting and musical events and important news so the people

can learn and participate in the culture.”

A native of Jerez de la Frontera, Manuel has deep ties to

the culture and people of Andalusia. He is married with two

daughters and loves reading history, riding horses and travel-

ing. He always dreamed of working in community relations,

perhaps in a hotel or bodega, as he likes working with people

and providing information, preparing itineraries, anything so

people can enjoy.

Manolo, as he is called in the o� ce, began his career at

NAVSTA Rota 31 years ago in community relations and has

gone full circle back to a profession in which he cares for.

He is passionate about his country and is eager to share his

knowledge with those stationed here.

“You are going to live here for two or three years. You are

in a beautiful country and especially the area of Andalusia

where it is sunny, and the people are nice,” said Manuel. “Go

out, explore and participate as much as you can.”

Manuel also is looking to establish relationships between

the Spanish and American schools and to collaborate with

the di� erent organizations on base to lend a helping hand to

those in need in the area. “Not everything in sunny Spain

is feria and carnival,” said Manuel. “! ere are people in this

area that are in need and can use assistance in many ways.”

Watch for Manuel’s page in the Coastline where he will

give the latest information on events, culture, celebrations

and news.

“My goal is to bring the Spanish and American communi-

ties closer than ever,” said Manuel. “Go out and explore, and

open the gates to see how each other live.”

Navy Exchanges worldwide initiated a new program to help their customers save money and help the environment. Staring April 21, NEX customers started receiving a � ve cent credit towards their purchase for each eco-friendly reusable bag used for that day’s purchase.

“� e Navy Exchange System is constantly working to � nd ways to help save its customers money and to help the environ-ment at all its locations worldwide,” said Rear Adm. Steven J. Romano, Commander, Navy Exchange Service Command.

In 2009, the NEX distributed about 53 millions bags, which cost approximately $860,000. Romano went on to say the program will help reduce the amount of disposable bags being used at NEX’s, which will save money and help protect the environment.

“� is is a great way for customers to be rewarded for us-ing their green bags,” said Kevin McAndrew, NEX Rota store manager. “I always have one in the car, but I forget to bring in with me. For a rebate, I will actually think about it before coming to the store.”

McAndrew said plastic bags are not only a great expense for the NEX, but they can be very destructive to the planet.

“It doesn’t have to be an NEX green bag. It can be any from anywhere,” said McAndrew. “Bring it in, use it and however many you use that day you will see that � ve cents per bag rebated at the bottom of your receipt. It is a win for you and a win for the planet.”

� e � ve cent credit program applies to all NEX retail and services facilities where bags are normally used, such as the main NEX store, Autoport and both stores in the Lisbon and Madrid embassies. It does not apply to direct-run concessions, such as food operators and mall kiosks operated in NEX’s. � e program also does not apply to disposable plastic bags brought into the NEX to reuse.

almost 50 million pounds of rub-

make 3-1/4 million new tires from

� � April 22, 2010 � � � � � � � � � � � �Rota’s David Glasgow Farragut Elementary Odyssey of the Mind team

traveled to the 10th Annual DoDDS European Odyssey of the Mind Tourna-ment and brought home an overall second place in their division and category – Return to the Gi� of Flight. � e students represented Rota Elementary and the Mediterranean district in this competition in Kaiserslautern, Germany.

Tristan DeTore, Leif Gruetter, Hailey Landry, Sierra Matteson, Andrew Sekerak and Austin Rushing � ew to Germany under the supervision of their coach, Dana Du� a and chaperone, Richard Gruetter. � is was the � rst time most of the students had traveled apart from their parents.

Upon arrival in Germany, the team spent the day reassembling their props, re� ning their performance, practicing spontaneous problems and going on a hike in the rain.

DGF was the � rst team to perform but soon discovered one of their main props had been le� in the hotel room. True to Odyssey of the Mind problem solving and creativity, they created a replacement prop on the spot. � is is the kind of teamwork and ingenuity that helped them win second place.

� e rest of the day was spent watching other teams perform, meeting other students and participating in the ‘Spontaneous Problem’ part of the competition.

“I'm really glad we won second place and I'm sure the entire team feels the same,” said Gruetter. “It was really hard and challenging because we were competing against middle school teams and we were the youngest team in our division but it was fun at the same time. Odyssey of the Mind is a worthwhile experience and I hope I'll be able to do it again next year.”

In addition to winning a place award, the judges also commented on how nice and polite Rota Elementary team students were. � e � rst and second place winners of the European Tournament were honored with an invitation

� e Department of Defense Education Activity joins the

Department of Defense and military communities around the

world in honoring military children during April - � e Month

of the Military Child.

For nearly a quarter of a century, the Department of De-

fense has been designating April as the month to recognize the

special qualities of our military children. � e sacri� ces they

make to help keep our nation's defenses strong are sometimes

overlooked or underestimated. But the parents of these children

recognize the strength and courage their children display as

they support their families. Frequent moves and deployments

are two of the biggest challenges these children face.

"Our children make many sacri� ces growing up in a mili-

tary family. From frequent moves to knowing their parent is

S B T D D E A

serving in a dangerous place, military children must develop

resiliency at a young age. � is strength is something they

carry with them throughout life and I believe it is a testament

to the strength and resolve of our nation's military members

who serve as role models every day for their children," said

Dr. Shirley Miles, Director of DoDEA.

� roughout the month, DoDEA will encourage schools

to plan special events to honor military children and have

administrators and principals incorporate the themes of this

month into their every day duties and responsibilities. � ese

e# orts and special events will stress the importance of provid-

ing children with quality services and support to help them

succeed in the mobile military lifestyle.

"As a military child myself, I know that there are many ad-

ditional challenges for our children. But there are also many

opportunities. As DoDEA educators, we constantly strive to

ensure highest student achievement for all of our students,"

Miles said. "Our schools welcome students, teach them and

work hard to prepare them for the future. � e children of our

service members have much to contribute to their schools,

their communities and the nation."

DoDEA plans, directs, coordinates, and manages pre-

kindergarten - 12th grade education programs for Depart-

ment of Defense dependents who would otherwise not have

access to a high-quality public education. DoDEA schools are

located in Europe, the Paci� c, the United States, Cuba, Guam

and Puerto Rico. DoDEA also provides support and resources

to Local Education Activities throughout the U.S. that serve

children of military families

Due to recent scams in Puerto de Santa

Maria, Naval Station Rota Security is warning

personnel and families living o# -base to be on

the lookout for scammers.

� e fake repairmen, who approach resi-

dents at their homes, claim to be there to work

on the resident’s gas, electrical and/or bombola

equipment.

� e male individuals pose as repairmen

dressed in o! cial work-type jump-suits and

driving box-type vans. Once inside your

house, they fake repairs and charge upwards

of 150 Euros for their services.

According to Master Chief Master-at-Arms

(SW/AW) Rebecca Owens, NAVSTA security

senior enlisted advisor, one victim was able to

verify the men, who claimed to work for Repsol, were not employed by the gas company.

Owens said two such cases have been reported in the Puerto recently.

“Know who you are letting into your home,” said Owens. “Families can protect themselves

by not letting anyone enter their homes, unless it's for a service they have called for, or one their

landlord has arranged for them.”

If residents feel they have been a victim of a scam, Owens said to get the suspect’s name,

description and license plate number of the vehicle.

“Don’t wait for days to report something like this - the sooner you let the local police and

NAVSTA Security know, the better,” said Owens.

Anyone with information on the false repairmen are asked to call NAVSTA security at 727-

2000 as soon as possible.

Ê ËNEX, MWR Partner Up For Lladro Tour

� e Navy Exchange and Rota Morale Welfare and Recreation are partnering up to o� er a trip to Valencia, Spain to visit the Lladro Factory May 16 – 18.

Lladro, which was founded in 1953 by three brothers in the village of Almacera near Valencia and started with items such as vases and jugs, has o� ered to provide the transportation and tour of the factory.

“People come to Spain and become fascinated with Lladro ,” said Jennifer Schmidt, Rota MWR Marketing Director. “It is even more fascinating to actu-ally go to the heart of where they are made. You will learn the history behind these beautiful works of art and see how pieces are made from start to � nish.”

Schmidt said the only cost is the hotel, which is being provided at a much reduced rate through Lladro. � e trip also includes a special paella lunch and a guided tour of the city of Valencia.

Another bonus of the trip is that participants can place special orders on their artwork at reduced prices which are cheaper than anywhere else in the country, including the factory.

“� is is a great trip and experience for all those interested. We are work-ing out the details of either placing orders at the factory and then getting the items later in Rota, or getting them on the spot,” said Kevin McAndrew, NEX Rota Store Manager. “NEX is 20 percent o� the prices in town, even at the Lladro factory store, depending on the euro rate at any given time, but that is our objective.”

� e trip is open for NEX authorized patron, (active duty, civilians, depen-dents and contractors) with a sign up deadline of May 1. All other patrons must sign up by May 8. For more information call Expeditions at 727-3101.

According to Save a Tree, it takes one 15-to-20-year-old tree to make enough paper for only 700 grocery bags. Real world note: for durability, supermarket bags are made from virgin paper, check the label, it will say recyclable not recycled.

Tossing away an aluminum can wastes as much energy as pouring out half of that can's volume of gasoline. If each person recycles one aluminum can each month, 1,750 to 3,500 gallons of gas can be saved.

Americans use 2 billion disposable batteries every year - enough to run close to a billion toys with “Batteries Not Included.” Real world note: household batteries typically contain heavy metals i.e., mercury, which is a hazardous waste…in Spain too.

Celebrate St. George at Molly MaloneTomorrow night, Molly Malone will be celebrating St.

George, the Patron Saint of England, with typical English

food. Since St. George is also the patron of the regions of

Aragón and Cataluña in Spain, there will be some typical

tapas from these regions as well. Stop by and enjoy.

� e best known story

about St. George is he fought

a dragon, although that

is very unlikely. In real-

ity he was a Roman soldier

who protested the Roman’s

persecution of Christians

and died for his beliefs. It

is typical for Englishmen to wear a rose in their lapel on St.

George Day. April 23 coincides with the anniversary of the

deaths of Cervantes and Shakespeare as well and in com-

memoration Spain celebrates Book Day. In both Aragón

and Cataluña, St. George Day is celebrated by giving a book

and a rose.

Looking ahead to the following Friday, Molly Malone is

having “Curry Night” due to popular demand. � ere will

be a variety of curries including mild, medium and hot.

Many of you may already be aware that Bailey’s in Rota

has closed. � e lease ran out and since construction in

the industrial area has been programmed for quite some

time, it could not be renewed. Lucky for all, Bailey’s on the

To protect dogs

and cats from the

extreme tempera-

tures of summer,

which can cause

severe health, and

sometimes fatal

consequences,

commercial

airlines worldwide

begin their sum-

mer pet embargo

starting May 15 to

September 15.

If you are trav-

eling into the U.S

on the Patriot Ex-

press the embargo

does not apply.

Although the

restrictions are

contingent to the

policies of each

airline, the general

rule is if the temperature exceeds 85 degrees at any time during % ight, the airline may

refuse to transport the pet. Delta Airlines is normally the only airline that will allow pet

travel over the summer for military members on Permanent Change of Station orders.

When arranging your PCS travel, be sure to obtain the appropriate paperwork from

your transfer clerk or the transportation assistants at Personnel Support Detachment.

Travel will not be secured without the completed paperwork. So, the earlier the better can

help you secure pet space on the Patriot Express. When planning to travel on the Patriot

Express only two animals per family are allowed. NAVPTO Naples books pet travel on a

* rst come * rst serve basis.

� e information required includes a general pet pro* le, current rabies vaccination

certi* cate, exact kennel dimensions, and the total weight of the animal and kennel. � e

maximum weight allowance is 100 lbs (pet and kennel combined) no exceptions. � e

maximum kennel size is 40L x 24W x 34.5H. � e kennel must be a hard shell, U.S. ap-

proved International Air Transport Association kennels. Your pet must have enough

room to stand, sit upright without the head touching the top of the container, turn around

comfortably, and lie in a natural position.

All pets traveling on commercial air also require a Spanish Exportation Certi* cate. � e

Naval Station Rota Morale Welfare Recreation veterinarian must examine your pet at least

14 days prior to travel in order retrieve the certi* cate. � e certi* cate is valid for 30 days,

but paperwork can be submitted earlier and is encouraged. � ere is a cost for this service

that is the member’s responsibility, and it is not reimbursable. Please contact the Vet Clinic

at 727-3149 for further information.

On the actual travel day, the member must carry all completed paperwork and docu-

mentation, and pets should be fed and hydrated within four hours prior to travel. You must

also be prepared to pay any fees for pet travel. Please contact the airline you will be travel-

ing with to get the most accurate, up-to-date cost. Again, the member is required to pay for

all additional costs, and it is not reimbursable. During the % ight, pets will not be allowed

food, water, or exercise, and in-cabin pets must remain in the kennels for the full duration

of travel.

To ensure a safe PCS with your pets, especially during the summer months, prepare as

early as possible. For further information, contact the Navy transportation agents in PSD

at 727-3014/1404.

$ %It’s a little known fact the RSR is a basketball Jones. Yes, that’s true from late October through mid April. We

here at RSR make jokes about how much the NBA is bor-ing to watch, overrated and full of head cases. We stand behind all of that but it’s time for the Playo� s (insert Jim Mora voice). What makes the NBA so fun to watch is the athletic aspects of the game. Sure, a well run pick and roll is basketball being played at a high level but it’s not the coach’s plays that are called in (maybe last shot situations) that gets the blood pumping. It’s the athletic play the rest of us cannot do that really makes the game (think of LeB-ron James making one of his patented blocks from behind a fast breaking player- looks like he’s 11 feet in the air). Another thing that RSR � nds amazing about the NBA is for a sport that is so impacted by young players (more so than football or baseball), the Lakers always seem to be in the mix. � ey have the most interesting � rst round match up as they take on the Oklahoma � under. RSR really thinks a basketball team from Oklahoma is interest-ing. If you haven’t been paying attention this year, you

may have missed Kevin Durant’s rise to the elite level of basketball. At over 30 points per game, Durant has been a scoring machine this year. Facing o� with Kobe Bryant in the � rst round is not a good way to keep playing, but should make for some Sport Center style highlights. RSR prefers the match up between Dallas and San An-tonio in this one. It may be our age, but we like the known star power and the combo of physical skills vs. mental understanding of the game that will be displayed. And RSR really likes to watch Argentina born Manu Ginobili � y around the court. We are calling the under/over at 12 for the number of times he hits the � oor per game. In the end, RSR sees the next four or � ve weeks as the countdown to another Lakers and Cleveland Cavil-ers � nals. � is is not a bad thing as Kobe and LeBron are clearly the top two players in the game and it seems poetic they should match up. Plus this year we are all treated to interview quotes (which we will only understand half of) from Shaquille O’Neal. Somehow Shaq Daddy (RSR can-not believe we are actually calling him that) keeps himself relevant when his play hasn’t since, oh, 2001. Again, good

theater. Since RSR is in the mood to make predictions, we will jump on this one. Cavs will win it all and LeBron will jump ship to another team in the o� season. � e � rst is good, the second is not. Oh well, it’s an open market. RSR is getting very excited as we inch towards May. � e weather is starting to warm up (we know not even close to fast enough for us either) but the sounds of sum-mer are close. It’s light now a! er 9 p.m. (2100 for some of you) and that makes so! ball a go. Now that the � elds are dried up, RSR has seen quite a few games going on (which is a good thing). Also noted are more joggers on the road in the morning, at lunch, and in the evening. Heck even more people are walking their dogs at night (thanks for picking up a! er them). � is is all good stu� . Just in case any of you have forgotten, the sports world internationally is in the pre-season stage as we get ready for the World Cup. RSR is already searching out a Tapas Bar to watch the matches at as we are sure most of the country of Spain will be doing the same. Until till next time play it hard, play it safe.

� e Rota Admirals are scheduled to hold a baseball tournament Saturday, April 24, with their Spanish counterparts. Games are scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. and hotdogs, burgers and snacks will be available for purchase. Come out and support the Rota Admirals and enjoy a day of baseball with our Spanish neighbors.
