Rota's Volunteers RockIn total, the winners spent more 4,500 hours serving the Rota community

Service members and civilians gath-ered at the base chapel to honor three individuals and two groups that were named as the Volunteers of the Year (VOY), Friday.

This is the second year Commander, U.S. Naval Activities (COMNAVACT) Spain has given out the award for community members. The VOY award acknowledges achievement, citizen-ship, and community involvement. One winner was selected from each of the five different categories: military, civilian employee, dependent, small group (two to seven members), and large group (seven or more members).

“We are here to celebrate the men and women who volunteer their time, their skills and talents in order to improve the quality of life for the Rota community,” said Capt. Greg Pekari, commander, U.S. Naval Activities Spain. “Whether you are part of a bigger community or an individual, our volunteers represent the very best examples of selfless service and compassion that a community has to offer.”

A total of 19 packages were submit-ted and a selection board voted for the winners in each category.

Chief Master-at-Arms Orlando McLeod, Volunteer Recognition Pro-gram manager, said all of the 19 different individuals and groups nominated con-tinuously demonstrated dedication and self-sacrifice within the Rota community.

“Your leaders have admiration and ap-preciate your hard work,” said McLeod. “You are all winners and should be proud of your hard work.”

The winners in their respective cat-egories are: Air Force Master Sgt. Robert Wocking, military; Doug Hasselbring, civilian employee; Romina Arbildi, depen-dent; the religious programs specialists at the chapel, small group; and Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions (CSADD), Rota Chapter, large group.

“Each and every person or group was extremely deserving of this award,” said Senior Chief Logistics Specialist Keith Wilkerson, chairman of the selection board. “The board members and myself found that only a few small distinctions put the final awardees over the top being that the competition was so tough.”

In order for individuals or groups to be

nominated, they must have 150 or more documented community service hours for the corresponding calendar year. This award is for service of significant magnitude or duration in one or more community organizations, which enhance the quality of life in the community.

Wocking contributed 950 hours of volunteer service as the committee chair-man of Boy Scouts of America (BSA) Cub Scouts Pack 280, vice president of the Filipino-American Levante Club, and a coach for the Youth Soccer Program.

Hasselbring volunteered more than 250 hours of his time as cubmaster for BSA Cub Scouts Pack 280. He leads monthly meetings and ensures the Cub Scouts pack positively reflects the inter-ests and objectives of the BSA. He works in conjunction with the pack committee on program ideas and establishing a budget plan that ensures the Cub Scouts receive a quality, year-round program.

Arbildi, dependent VOY, contributed 917 hours of volunteer service as a NAVSTA Rota ombudsman and time in the emergency room at U.S. Naval Hos-pital Rota. She acted as the information liaison between NAVSTA Rota’s leader-ship and family members. She also

volunteers as an American Red Cross emergency room nurse at the hospital, assisting emergency room staff in pre- and post-operation care, and taking patient vital signs.

Winner of the small group VOY, the religious programs specialists at the cha-pel volunteered more than 1,484 hours, staying in constant contact with local organizations to seek out community relations (COMREL) opportunities for various groups and associations. Dur-ing the past year, the team organized COMREL opportunities for 15 different organizations.

CSADD, comprised of 25 Sailors, vol-unteered a combined total of more than 900 hours. Members organized movie nights at the barracks and volunteered their time at water stations and as safety observers during Rota Morale, Welfare and Recreation and youth athletic events.

Pekari urges every one to stop and thank those who volunteer their time to improve the quality of life for others.

“I want to end with a quote from one of the great civil rights leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” said Pekari. “’Life's most persistent and urgent question is, what are you doing for others?’”

Wednesday marked the 45th anniversary of Earth Day. It may be hard to imagine that before 1970, a factory could emit toxic black clouds into the air or dump tons of toxic waste into a nearby stream, and that was perfectly legal - they could not

be taken to court to stop it. Why? Because there was no Environ-mental Protection Act (EPA), no Clean Air Act, no Clean Water Act. There were no legal or regulatory mechanisms to protect our envi-ronment.

That all changed during the spring of 1970 when Senator Gay-lord Nelson created Earth Day as a way to force this issue onto the national agenda. There were 20 million Americans who demon-strated in different cities across the

nation. As a result, Congress authorized the creation of a new federal agency to tackle environmental issues in December 1970, the EPA. That day left a permanent impact on the poli-tics of America. It put the issue of environmental quality and resources conservation into the political discussions of our nation. Earth Day made it clear that we could summon public support, energy, and commitment to save our environment. We now have legislation needed to protect the environment that has been enacted into law, such as the Clean Air Act, the Water Quality Improvement Act, the Water Pollution and Control Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and more.

Even though April 22 marks Earth Day, there’s no need to wait until Earth Day to do something. There’s much we can do every day to help protect the environment and the climate, while keeping our families healthy and even saving money. Here are some tips:

Reduce food waste. The average family throws away $1,600 a year on wasted food, and rotting food in landfills releases methane, a powerful greenhouse gas 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. It costs our local governments (and the base) thousands of dollars to put garbage into the landfills. We can save money the less we put into the landfills.

Wash your clothes in cold water. 90 percent of your wash-ing machine’s energy goes toward heating water, while just 10 percent goes toward running the motor. Consider switching to cold water - along with cold-water detergent - and save your family money on your electric bill.

Learn how to fix water leaks. The average family loses over 10,000 gallons of water each year to leaks. Fix the leaks in your home so you can conserve water and save on your water bill. One way to identify a leak, as noted in the weekly Energy Tip from Public Works Rota, is to put food coloring in the tank. If the color ends up in the bowl without flushing, it leaks.

Green your commute. To get exercise and limit your car-bon footprint, walk, bike, or take public transportation whenever you can. Leaving your car at home just two days a week can prevent 2 tons of carbon pollution every year. To maximize gas mileage, get regular tune-ups, and keep your tires fully inflated.

On Wednesday, led by the deployed Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 11, Rota residents helped ensure our on-base beach is clean. Not only did they clean a beach yesterday but Command Master Chief Delbert Terrell Jr. and I, along with Tim Uplinger and David Bienvenue, planted the 156th tree at Liberty Park. The tree was planted as part of the mitigation for the new air terminal that is being constructed. NAVSTA Rota has been a good steward of the environment, from cleaning up the beach on base to recycling our plastics/paper/glass to conserving our water and electricity. Let us continue to commit ourselves, our families, and our commu-nities to work toward a brighter environmental future. Thank you, and have a good week!

Rota’s Diversity Team hosted a remembrance ceremony for the Holocaust in the chapel, Tuesday.

Chaplain Manuel Biadog, U.S. Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy command chaplain provided the in-vocation for the event.

“Today’s remembrance day is [a] time of reflection and a time for action. On this day we recall the courage, the spirit, and determina-tion of those who dar-ingly resisted the Nazis demonstrating the very best of humanity,” said Biadog. “And like those courageous individuals, we must commit our-selves to resisting hate and prosecution in all of its forms. We honor those we lost during one of the darkest periods in human history and to keep their memory alive for generations to come.”

The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum has designated this year’s theme as “Learning from the Holocaust, choosing to act.” Hospital Corps-

man 1st Class Jorge Castilleja wrote a piece tailored to this theme.

“It’s mind-blowing and almost unbelievable, but it happened,” said Castilleja. “Today we gather not only to remember this horrible event in humanity’s event, but to make a commitment, to stand up and choose to act in the face of wrong, injustice, and prejudice. Although, however tempting it is to forget the holocaust, we must take time to reminisce and

recall this atrocity. In doing so we remind ourselves and reinforce the idea that we must always find the courage to do the right thing and find the strength and will to defend those [who] are defenseless.”

Following the formal ceremony, those in attendance gathered out-side for a during a moment of silence before releasing 11 balloons repre-senting the 11 million lives lost in the Holocaust.

WASHINGTON - Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus recently directed that brighter, longer-lasting and more energy-efficient lighting be installed in U.S. Navy ships under construction as part of a strategy designed to help increase these ships' time on-station, decrease time spent on maintenance, and prevent shipboard injuries.

Program managers for all new construction ships have been directed to pursue installation of Light-Emit-ting Diodes (LEDs). Their reduced drain on the ship's electrical load, compared to conventional florescent bulbs, translates to increased time between refueling, which means more time on-station.

"We are continuing to become more efficient in how we use energy. The move to LED saves between 2 and

3 percent of the total fuel usage for each ship and that adds up in a fleet of 300 ships," said Mabus. "Upgrading to LEDs on our ships will increase our ability to provide the global presence that is vital to America's national security and economic well-being."

The memo authorizes program managers to spend up to $2 million per ship from the ship's change order

IT1 (IDW/SW) Maurice Hill

Team Rota in the Spotlight


A native of Pittsburgh, Information Systems Technician 1st Class Maurice Hill joined the Navy March 25, 1998 and has been serving for the last 17 years. After completing basic training at Great Lakes in Illinois, he attended Radioman “A” School until September 1998 in Great Lakes. Hill arrived at his first command, amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) in October 1998 and stayed there for four years. In 2002, he transferred to the Pentagon where he stayed until 2005. Before coming to Rota he was stationed in Bahrain at Commander U.S. Naval Forces Central Command for a year.

Hill works as an Alternate Electronics Key Management System Manager at Naval Computer and Telecommunications Area Master Station (NCTAMS) Atlantic Detachment Rota. He manages 16 sub accounts referred to as local elements, which are crypto accounts for communication security. He also serves as the assistant command fitness leader for NCTAMS and the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response (SAPR) point of contact. Additionally, he has been a victim advocate for the last two years.

Hill said his biggest accomplishment thus far is becoming a SAPR victim advocate because he never realized the importance of the position until he went through the course and started becoming more involved. Also, he considers winning U.S. 5th Fleet Sailor of the Year a big accomplishment as well.

“I love my job. It’s laid-back and very rewarding,” said Hill. “I enjoy the people I work with in my command and the opportunity for growth it brings.”

One of the attributes that has made Hill largely successful at his job is his ability to listen and communicate with others.

“Once you stop listening, you stop leading,” said Hill.

The audience filed into the Multi-purpose Building at David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) to enjoy an evening of entertainment at the second annual Rota’s Got Talent, Friday.

Members of the First Class Petty Officer Association (FCPOA) coordinated the event and accepted donations at the door, which benefits the DGF Scholarship Fund.

"It was such a great turnout and a great opportunity to highlight all our talented community members,” said Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Michael Lan-tron, FCPOA member. “Also, everyone got together for a great cause, helping raise money for the David Glasgow Farragut Scholarship Fund."

Fourteen different acts performed throughout the show, and the talents showcased included musical acts, gymnastics, and poetry.

“It was very tough,” said NAVSTA Rota Command Master Chief, Delbert Terrell Jr. and talent show judge. “The wide-range of talent tonight was simply amazing.”

Each act was judged by a four-person panel, and in the end the judges rendered their decision. Gracie Conn was awarded the third place prize for her performance of a country song. Justin Workman was awarded second place with his beatbox performance. Yeoman 1st Class Quinston Barfield was crowned the overall winner with his rendition of a pop song.

Weekend Forecast


Two sailors from the Navy Envi-ronmental Preventive Medicine Unit 7 introduced a new book club to the Naval Station Rota community, April 15, in an event coordinated with the Rota Morale, Welfare and Recreation Library.

The organizers of the book club, Hos-pital Corpsmen 1st Class David Cano and Jorge Castilleja hope to provide the opportunity for Sailors to come together and discuss the books from the Chief of Naval Operations Professional Reading Program (CNO-PRP).

With a current motto of “Read to be ready,” the CNO-PRP was established in 2006 as an initiative by the Navy War College and has since grown throughout the Navy, most recently under the direc-tion of Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert.

In the CNO-PRP books that cover Naval history, heritage, culture, and leadership are selected and placed under three separate tenets: warfight-ing first, operate forward, and be ready. The purpose behind the CNO-PRP is personal and professional development of Sailors.

During the event to kick-off the Rota

Navy Reading Book Club, members were told how the club will operate, meeting every third Wednesday of the month at the MWR Library.

Enthusiasts of the book club hope that the vision and passion for both the CNO-PRP and for books in general grows each month and that it will inspire Sailors to not only read and learn more about topics pertinent to the Navy, but that it will enhance communication, ca-maraderie, and relationships between participating Sailors.

"The program has really helped me understand and appreciate the Navy and the military much more. It has helped me through some tough deploy-ments and taken me out of the stressful, adverse situation and puts me far away in a different time, alongside some great American icons at the most vulnerable times for our nation,” said Castilleja. “While in the Navy, experience has been my best professor at times but it is great to have a program like this to help us really understand and appreciate the job we do on a daily basis, worldwide.”

For more information on the Rota Navy Reading Book Club call 727-2256/2257. The CNO-PRP reading list can be found at http://www.navyreading.navy.mil.

Weekly Service Times at Naval Station Rota Chapel

'Ought-ness and Is-ness'I once had a co-worker who would often

say, “Do the right thing for America.” It be-came a somewhat comical and sometimes welcome phrase to lighten the tension of the workday. Ironically enough, this co-worker was later found to have deep and

dark secrets of inappropri-ate behavior that put that p h r a s e i n s tark con-t r a s t w i t h his actions. His motto, “Do the right th ing ” be -came mean-

ingless when his secret behavior came to light.

American theologian and philosopher, R.C. Sproul, in his book “How Should I Live in This World?” states that there is a difference between ethics and moral-ity. Ethics is “oughtness” (how someone should behave) and morality is “isness” or how someone does behave. My co-worker’s ethics were “Do the right thing for America.” His morality is the behavior

that he actually lived out. The two are at odds with each other. In Sproul’s book, he goes on to state that one ethical theory textbook describes 80 different theories on ethics (“oughtness”) that compete for modern minds. Where do we go from here? Which belief system of appropriate behavior is correct?

Before we can possibly answer the question we need to ask ourselves two questions. What is the standard that my belief system expects of me? Then, how do I know if that standard is the right standard to follow? When a Sailor takes his semi-annual physical readiness test (PRT), he/she has a standard to follow. His or her curl-ups, push-ups and run time must meet the minimum standard to be considered a Sailor within physical standards. If a Sailor falls short of this standard, eventually they no longer have the privilege be in the United States Navy. How does one know if this standard is the correct standard to follow? When Sailors meet and often exceed the physical fit-ness standard, the proof is then “in the pudding.” The U.S. Navy functions as a “Global Force for Good,” in part because of the high standards it has always re-

quired of its Sailors. History and practice shows that this standard of physical fitness works. The U.S. Navy standard is the right standard to follow based on demonstrated success.

I encourage you then, to put these two questions into practice for yourself. Everyone has a belief system that says “This is how I should act in a given situa-tion.” Whether you are Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Atheist or non-religious, you have some expectation of appropriate behavior; some standard or reason that you should behave in a given situation in an appropriate manner. What does your faith/values/belief system say to you about the standard of behavior you are expected to follow? Then ask yourself, is it the right standard to follow?

The burning issue in the United States military is the recent increase and prob-lem with sexual assault. If we ask “Why is sexual assault wrong in the military?” the President, Congress and our military leadership expect our belief systems to have the right answer to this question. I will use my belief system, Christianity, to answer the question, “Why is sexual as-sault wrong?”

First, what is the Christian standard of behavior regarding sexual assault? Chris-tianity affirms that sexual assault is wrong and should not be tolerated. In Genesis 1, the Bible states that God made every human with value; a value that comes from God himself. With that value, everyone de-serves to be treated with dignity because they are God’s creatures. The standard in Christianity is that everyone (Christian or not) deserves to treated with value and dignity. Sexual assault is an act of un-

speakable violence that, at the very least, is an act that devalues another person. The aggressor is effectively saying, “You (the victim) are not worth anything and the God who made you did not know what he was doing when he made you.” Sexual assault violates the victim’s God-given dignity and the God who made him/her. This is why Christianity states that sexual assault is a horrible act to be confronted and the guilty should be punished. Is the Christian response the right standard to follow for Christian believers? As sexual assault is punished and Christians act according to their beliefs, then people are treated with dignity and the military functions with good order and discipline. Christianity shares common ground with other belief systems as they agree on this particular question.

As April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, we should remind ourselves of the need to employ our vari-ous religions/belief systems to eradicate the injustice of sexual assault in our cul-ture. I encourage you to explore and ask the hard questions of how your faith/belief/value system answers the question, “Why is sexual assault wrong?” The Navy (as well as the military and culture at large) is in a crisis surrounding the issue of sexual assault. Ask yourself the hard questions of your faith. Evaluate the answers against the standard of your faith system. Then, evaluate if your belief system gives an appropriate answer the hard questions. As you do this hard work, your faith will be strengthened and horrible behaviors will not be tolerated in our culture and our Navy. We will then be a stronger nation. Gloria a Dios solo.

At 3 a.m. on the morning of April 6, a group of 18 middle school students from Rota set off on a 21-hour journey for a week of adventure in Austria.

The trip, organized by Josiah and Alyssa Walcott, leaders of Rota’s branch of the Military Community Youth Ministries, also known as Club Beyond, was designed to expose the students to new experiences, introduce them to groups of children, and enjoy the surroundings of the Austrian Alps. A team from Youth for Christ in the U.S. traveled to Austria to help run the camp.

The trip to Austria involved a seven-hour bus trip to Madrid, followed by a three-hour flight to Munich. Once in Munich, the group boarded three consecutive trains for the final three-hour leg of the journey. From the train station the final destination was a taxi ride away.

“It felt like we were traveling for days” said Savan-nah Matteson, a 13-year-old David Glasgow Farragut Middle School student, “but the trip was fun and worth [it] when we got there!”

Upon leaving the train, the group found themselves near Innsbruck, Austria, where they would spend a

week at a local hotel. In addition to the group from Rota, there were groups from England, Germany, and Italy in attendance, totaling approximately 350 participants.

The students spent the next seven days enjoying a busy schedule, which involved indoor rock-climbing, archery, geocaching, Nerf wars, and a mini-Olympics.

“I feel as if the trip was a success on every level,” said Club Beyond Community Director, Josiah Walcott. “Students were encouraged, challenged, presented with opportunities to have fun, and accomplish some things they have rarely had an opportunity to do. I believe they grew as an individual, but also grew as a group and became closer and learned how to work together more and more. Club Beyond, as a chapel sponsored youth ministry program, is designed to help students have a safe environment that they can grow and be encour-aged, and I think this week successfully accomplished those goals.”

The group arrived back in Rota at 3 a.m. on April 13, exhausted from a busy week of activity.

“My daughter had a fantastic time and will remember her experience for years to come” said DGF Teacher,

7th graders Savannah Matteson and Kalindi Vaswani performing a two-person cartwheel.Club Beyond volunteer Alyssa Walcott, center, has fun with some of the Rota girls at the rock climbing wall.

Joshua Garrison, whose eighth grade daughter, Jasmine, went on the trip. “Josiah does a great job leading the Rota Club Beyond program, which pro-vides these unique opportunities that few middle school students are able to experience stateside.”

The students who attended all agreed that the trip was a success.

“It was cold in Austria, but we had a blast,” said seventh-grader Michael Ani-nos. “I would totally go back next year if I had the chance!”

Walcott was eager to point out the dedication and commitment of his wife, Alyssa, to Club Beyond.

“Alyssa technically has no official title and helps as a volunteer, although she puts in the hours and work of a full time staff person.”

The next Club Beyond project being planned by Walcott is a service project to the Czech Republic in June. For more information contact Walcott at [email protected], or by phone at 717-16-9643. They also have a Facebook group, search "Club Beyond Navsta Rota."

funding, subject to the funds' availabil-ity. Additional funding is available with approval, in the event installation on a particular ship is more expensive. LEDs' lower energy consumption means the bulbs will "pay for themselves" in one to five years.

LEDs have already been installed on more than 170 Navy ships. Program managers and program executive of-ficers are empowered to install LEDs on new construction ships through a more streamlined process.

LED lights' increased operational life translates to 80 percent less time spent on ladders and lifts changing bulbs. The Navy Safety Office predicts this will cut down on slips, trips, and falls, which are the most common shipboard injuries. The longer life also means less storage space aboard ship needs to be dedicated to replacement bulbs, thereby freeing it for other operational uses.

"The LED lighting we're installing

aboard ships today is making a difference where it counts: improving Sailors' quality of life, saving time, and reducing safety risks," said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevens.

LEDs are a type of Solid State Light-ing (SSL) that produces light by passing electrical current through semiconductor material. LEDs use approximately 50 percent less energy and last up to five times as long as conventional florescent lights, between 40,000 and 50,000 hours, according to a Naval Sea Systems Com-mand Business Case Analysis.

nuRtuRinG PaRentinG Tuesday and April 30, 9 to 11 a.m., childcare provided.

Developed by Stephen J. Bavolek, Ph.D., the Nurturing Parent Support Program provides specific parenting techniques to help parents build trust and self-esteem in their children, engage co-operation, and find a helpful approach to discipline. Nurturing is the ability to care for and foster growth in us and others. We all need to be nurtured - to receive understanding, respect, recognition, praise, security, limits and appropriate expectations. A nurturing parent-child relationship is crucial for producing the next generation of healthy, responsible and self-sustaining adults.

All parents of children ages 5 to 12 are encouraged to attend these interactive, free sessions. Child Development Center (CDC) childcare vouchers are available for this workshop; advanced reservations are required. Contact the CDC at 727-1100.

ConFliCt Resolution April 30, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., childcare provided

When good people have a falling out, only one of them may be at fault at first; but if the strife continues long usually both become guilty. Unmanaged conflict has caused many hardships in the work-place and at home. It can cause people to suffer, missions to fail, and families to separate. Yet, conflict is inevitable. This workshop helps people manage conflict by examining their attitudes and behav-iors when faced with conflicting situations; practice skills that prevent conflict from escalating; and, teaches them to work with others to solve problems that allow

people to grow, missions to succeed and families to strengthen. Child Develop-ment Center (CDC) childcare vouchers are available for this workshop; advanced

reservations are required. Contact the CDC at 727-1100. For more information or to register for our workshop, please call 727-3232.
