Each year thousands suffer injury, burns, and death due to holiday decorations and care-lessness. Trees, lights, and or-naments produce extra hazards in our homes and workplaces at a time when the hectic season may distract us from fire safety. To safely enjoy the holiday sea-son the Rota Fire Department offers the following guidelines for a happy holiday.

If you buy a natural cut tree, (not authorized in workplaces and dormitories or barracks) check for freshness. Shedding needles are a sign of a dry tree and a serious hazard. Fresh

needles won’t break when bent. Keep the tree outside until you can decorate it. Cut off the base, one to two inches, and place it in a stable holder. Keep the holder filled with water and keep the tree away from direct heat sources.

Decorations should not ob-struct corridors, exits, means of egress, or be hung from fire detection devices (smoke detec-tors/sprinkler). Check all lighting for safety. Look for frayed or bro-ken areas where wires are ex-posed. Damaged lights should be discarded. No more than three sets of lights should be on an extension cord. Overload-ing cords can start a fire. Keep connections away from water

sources, and use Underwriters Laboratory (UL) listed cords of the correct size.

Unplug all lights before leav-ing the house or workplace. Do not use real candles; electric candles that are UL approved are a safer option. Keep all or-naments and cords away from children and pets. Remember, dry trees can burn like a torch and spread a fire. Please take the time to visit Naval Station Rota’s official Facebook page to view the fire safety video, which shows how quickly a dry tree can catch on fire when exposed to an open flame.

Be smart and safe this holiday season.

The holidays are right around the corner, and no one feels that more than our post offices. During the holiday season, the Fleet Mail Center (FMC) post office receives a massive influx of mail to process. This barrage of holiday-related mail has the potential to delay daily operations, but rest assured service members are working around

the clock to make sure mail gets where it’s supposed to go, including gifts here in Spain. So before you head off to ship your gifts this year, make sure you’re up to speed on the most current post office rules, which should help the process run a little smoother.

“Please be courteous and patient,” said Cpl. Javonta Squriewell, postal clerk at the FMC post office. “Mail doesn’t travel in a day. We apologize if you’re

mail doesn’t get here quick.”According to Squriewell, the post

office sees an increase in every aspect during the holiday season. Postal rev-enue usually triples, totaling in $60,000 here in Spain. The incoming mail in Rota increases from 60,000 pounds to 90,000 pounds while outgoing mail increases from 20,000 pounds to 40,000 pounds.

Normal hours of operation for mail pick up are Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Incoming mail is sorted seven days a week and postal person-nel, depending on incoming workload, are already sorting mail as early as 7 a.m. With the increase of incoming and outgoing mail this holiday season, and to accommodate customer mailings, the post office will extend operating days and be open the first three Saturdays of December from 9 a.m. to noon.

Each command has mail orderlies trained and responsible to pick up unit mail between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Accountable mail (Express, Insured, Certified, Registered) requires the ad-dressee’s signature, and customers are required to come to the post office for pick up. Customers should bring a pink parcel pick up slip and a valid ID to the pick-up window at the FMC side and a postal clerk will assist them.

Post office staff recommends that customers plan ahead and get Priority/Express mailboxes as well as customs declaration forms from the post office pri-

or to arriving with boxes and envelopes. Boxes less than 70 pounds should be clearly marked with “To” on the center of the box and “From” on the upper left hand corner.

According to the United States Postal Service (USPS) Domestic Mail Manual and USPS Publication 52, certain items are restricted and/or non-mailable. Alcoholic beverages, including wine, sangria, or any other items with an alcohol percentage of 0.5 percent or higher cannot be shipped. No weapons are allowed including firearms, ammo, and switchblade knives. No perishable items, which includes fruits, plants, and meats. Additionally, this list includes jamón because jamón is not Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved and can’t be shipped to the United States. Additionally, no aerosol cans, including perfume, shaving cream, and cologne can be shipped.

If a customer gets caught trying to send a restricted item, they will receive a verbal warning. Customs forms are signed and certified by the mailer and considered an official document. If the mail somehow passes through a Rota postal clerk and customs in Madrid catches it, a Military Post Office Postal Offense will be generated and the cus-tomer may lose their mailing privileges.

“We appreciate you,” said Squriewell. “We’re in business because of you. Happy holidays.”

Congratulations to our Newest Petty OfficersTeam Rota,

I want to take this opportunity to congratulate our newly promoted 3rd, 2nd and 1st class petty officers on their great achievement. Commander,

U.S. Naval Activities Spain had 164 Sailors advance to the next rank.

With the Navy moving toward a leaner force, the competition for advancement has become increas-ingly challenging, and you and your families should be very proud of your great accomplishment. However, I challenge you not to rest on your heels, but rather continue to strive for excellence and mentor your peers to help them achieve their goals as well.

For those who may have fallen a little short this cycle, stay focused and never let your guard down. It is in those times that we least expect it when a great opportunity presents itself. Enjoy the holiday season, but prepare a game plan to start hitting the books after the first of the year.

If you see these new petty officers, please congratulate them. HOORAH! 212° CMC

The Coastline will take a winter hiatus for the holidays. The last issue of The Coastline will be our year in review, Dec. 18. The next issues of The Coastline will be Jan. 15.

1. Use light-emitting diode (LED) holiday lights and reduce energy use up to 90 percent over their incandescent counterparts.

2. Use solar walkway and patio lights for outdoor accent l ights . These are widely ava i lab le and easy to install. You can install them yourself in a few minutes since they don’t require any wir-ing.

3. Use natural daylighting when possible and reduce or eliminate artificial lighting. Daylighting has been proven to have many benefits.

4. Use task lighting when you need lighting in one small area and then reduce background or ambient light levels.

Weekly Energy Tip: Holiday Lighting Tips

BRITE Ideas NAVSTA Rota!

It's no secret the brick-and-mortar and e-commerce retailers love this time of the year. Nostalgia has a way of potentially overtaking the most financially disciplined Sailor.

But, as Cheri Nylen explained, there's a way to enjoy a fulfilling holiday period without breaking the bank. And she should know - she's the Director of Case Work for the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.

Step 1: Budget. That's it."I'm done with my Christmas shopping," she said. "I

budgeted my Christmas in August. I knew what I had to spend and that's all I had to spend."

"Budget," like "diet" has an inescapable simplicity that must be followed in order for it to work. " You can't spend more than you take in," Nylen said.

Credit CardsIt has never been easier, it seems, for someone to

open a line of credit. One doesn't have to look very far to find the latest "cash-back" or "reward points" credit card - all designed to entice the user to spend. This is where things get tricky for the Sailor unfamiliar with solid fiscal discipline. "Sailors work hard for their money," Nylen said. "Using credit costs money that the Sailor doesn't see in the form of interest payments." The bigger the balance carried on the card, the more interest is paid. For example, a balance of $4,000 on a card with a 10 percent interest rate equals $400 ... gone.

There is definitely some psychology at work when it comes to the spending habits of the card-carrying consumer, Nylen explained. "People tend to spend

more if they're going to use a credit card instead of cash. Plastic transactions don't seem real."

Debit vs. CreditThe ease of debit cards (a direct withdrawal from

an account) may help curb the temptation of adding more debt to the credit card, right? Not so, said Nylen. "There are very significant differences between whether you pick up your debit card and swipe it or whether you use your credit card and swipe it."

Consumer protections are different for each, she explained. "A credit card offers a lot more safeguards. You can dispute a credit card transaction more suc-cessfully than a debit card."

However, neither is healthy if the spender has dif-ficulty staying on a predetermined course (see step one above). "We encourage our clients to keep a spending log," Nylen said. This allows the Sailor to keep track of every hard-earned dollar. "You have to plan for things to happen. Life happens."

Emerging methods of paymentMobile phone and email-based payment options

are putting wallets and traditional cards on the en-dangered species list. As ease of spending grows, so too does the potential for Sailors to find themselves in bad financial waters. "It's becoming frighteningly easy for our service members to get into serious trouble," Nylen cautioned. "They work hard for their money. They should work equally as hard at ensuring it works hard for them. They need to safeguard it - they need to know where it goes."

Making the ChangeIt's imperative for Sailors to understand the wealth

of assistance provided by the Navy-Marine Corps Re-

lief Society - there's far more to the organization than the financial emergency assistance the name implies. "We can help them set up a spending plan. We can sit and chat - one on one - no command involvement - about what their financial plans are. Help them find some strategies."

Additionally, Sailors have command financial spe-cialists ready to provide the needed guidance, as well as the Fleet and Family Support Center. "There's so many free alternatives that civilians don't have. If they

Healthy HolidayFor many people, the holiday season

starts at Thanksgiving and ends with the New Year. This is the time of year where yummy food and tasty treats seem to be everywhere making it a challenge to keep kids eating healthy. Excess calories from candy and large family feasts coupled with decreased physical activity can leave a child vulnerable to weight gain. Keep your family fit and healthy through the holidays by following these simple tips:

- Maintain a regular schedule of eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday. - Have healthy snacks readily available for the kids to grab: sliced, ready-to-

eat fresh fruit and veggies are a sweet substitute for candy. - Avoid keeping bowls of high-fat, sugar-loaded foods such as chips, snacks,

or candy around. - Encourage your child to drink water. Add variety by having flavored water

on hand or lower sugar juice. Avoid sugar-sweetened beverages such as soda and juice drinks.

- Allow your child the special holiday treats, but ration them out into smaller por-tions. Only offer them 1 time per day and do not have them available for grazing.

- Encourage 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity every day. Make it fun and do things as a family, such as bike riding, running, or playing football.

- Limit sedentary screen time to no more than two hours per day. This includes playing video games, watching TV, and Web surfing.

- Make physical activity a new holiday tradition by organizing a family football game or walk in the park after dinner.

Consider the healthy alternatives so that you and your family can stay Healthy for Life! For all your health, dietary, and wellness needs please contact the Health Promotions Department at 727-3350.

don't take advantages of the free resources available to them, they are throwing away thousands of dollars of services," Nylen said. "We take many phone calls from former service members seeking the free services that

were available to them while they were on active duty."Begin with a visit to http//www.nmcrs.org or make an

appointment to see your command financial specialist. Rota’s NMCRS can be reached by calling DSN 727-1614 or by stopping by their office in the Community Service Building.

It's crucial to remember the 'why' when it comes to

shopping for the holidays. "Gifts take all shapes and sizes," Nylen said. "Spending time making memories is the most important thing you can do for another person, and that's priceless."

It's not about making big purchases. It's about build-ing lasting memories. And best of all, great memories are free.

David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) Middle/High School hosted 22 Spanish seventh-graders from a local public school as part of a cultural exchange, Nov. 21.

The visit began with an icebreaker with students in Maribel Bastidas’s Spanish 1 class where students got to know each other. Visiting students attended regular classes and became exchange students for a day. The Spanish students had a chance to participate in regular classes. Some took quizzes, others read, some learned about taking photos while another group said that they had to learn the periodic table of elements. During lunch DGF students hosted their Spanish counterparts and showed them around school, introduced to their friends, and shared their American food.

“It’s like being in the movies,” said Carlos, a 12-year-old Spanish student. “They even have the lockers.”

The visit culminated at Jams, where students socialized and ate pizza. Although the visit was brief, friend-ships were formed and attitudes changed for the better, said Basti-das. Both, Spanish and American teenagers felt closer and more posi-tive toward each other, she said. DGF students have been invited to go to their school during the celebration of Dia de Andalucia so that they can share their cul-ture with their American friends.

Chanukah Candle Lighting Celebration

Do you ever feel like people are pushing you away or distancing themselves from you? Maybe you feel like you just can’t connect with people on a level you feel

you need. This can be a painful experience, espe-cially when you already feel lonely or isolated.

Experiences like this can cause you to question your value and self-worth. You wonder if you are making a difference in this world, or if you really mean anything to anyone at all.

If you feel this way, I want you to consider two things. First, it might not be about you. My favorite author, Henri Nouwen, says in his book The Voice of Love, “You keep listening to those who seem to reject you.

But they never speak about you. They speak about their own limitations. They confess their poverty in the face of your needs and desires.”

In other words, if people reject you, they might actually be running up against limitations in their own lives. Maybe they are simply spread too thin and can’t give the time you wish they could. Perhaps they are emotionally spent themselves, and can’t invest in you like you wish they would. The point is, rather than tak-ing it personally, consider the possibility that their felt rejection of you isn’t about you at all, it’s about them running into their own limitations, and consider as Nouwen says, “… you are asking for something they cannot give and … they need to get some distance from you to survive emotionally.”

This leads to the second thing I want you to con-sider. I believe we all have needs that no human could possibly fulfill. Without realizing it, we often place our burdens on the shoulders of others, and ask them

to fill a role in our lives that only God can fill. We all need people, and it is extremely important to seek out safe people to share life with and to share burdens with. At the same time, we have to be careful that we are not asking someone to fulfill in us something only God can. This sets us up for disappointment, and sets others up for failure.

Finally, Nouwen says, “The sadness is that you perceive their necessary withdrawal as a rejection of you instead of a call to return home and discover there your true belovedness.”

Seek to discover what your longings are about, and find in God the fulfillment of those desires. Doing so will free others up to be truly who they can be to you, and will make your relationships with others actually more meaningful, fulfilling, and rewarding.

If you would like to speak with me or another chaplain about this topic, call the Religious Ministries Department at 727-2161.

It was another great "Foodie Tour" by Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) Rota with their Asian Culinary Exploration, Nov. 8. This tour involved a visit to a Span-ish fusion restaurant located in Rota.

The menu featured fresh salmon, sea bass, sardines, mackerel, Vietnamese rolls with salmon and mint, a va-riety of sushi, Chinese noodles, chicken yakisoba, and orange blossom desert.

The miso soup featured two seasonal fruits: avocado and pomegranate.

Guests learned how to separate the meat of the fish from the bone, not cut it, and how to preserve salmon in the fridge for tomorrow's breakfast with 65 percent salt and 35 percent sugar.

A special shout out to MWR Rota guide Jorge Torres who always makes sure guests have a drink in hand by noon.

The wine, beer, and conversation flowed from this second-floor restaurant along a cobblestone street on a crisp, sunny Saturday afternoon in Southern Spain.

Don’t miss these fabulous tours by MWR Rota. The next scheduled foodie tour, A Taste of España: Tapas, Wine, and Flamenco will take place Wednesday.

From April 2014 to May 2015, two American teenagers from David Glasgow Farragut (DGF) High School aboard Naval Station Rota, Spain are participating in the local tradition of Virgen del Rosario as Damas.

The Virgen del Rosario, the patron saint of the City of Rota, celebration dates back to the 16th century, and remains one of the most relevant festivals held in the city, with parades and events throughout the year to celebrate the saint.

Aside from crowning a queen, or “Dama Mayor,” in honor to the Virgen, approximately 25 high school students called “Dama de Honor,” or Maids of Honor, are selected from throughout the Rota community.

Naomi Sterling, a DGF senior, was selected to represent NAVSTA Rota to the Rota community, and traditionally she would stand alone as the only American participating in the annual tradition. This year, however, Peña Linense, a Rota business, selected Maria Peterson, an 11th-grader at DGF, as their representa-tive, marking a rare time when two of the 25 Damas, ages 16 to 18, are Americans.

Peterson, the Peña Linense represen-tative, and Sterling, NAVSTA Rota’s repre-sentative, had plenty to share about their experience as American Damas in Spain.

How were you selected to become a Dama?

Maria Peterson (MP): Well, it was kind of my family, because my family was in a club out in Rota, and they were always asking me, “Do you wanna go out for Dama?” And I’d always joke, “Yeah, that’s fine!” And then this year, when we went

down for feria, my parents were like, “Oh, we have a surprise for you.” And I was like, “Oh, really.” And they were like, “Yeah, come over here!” So, we went over to this peña, like this big caseta [stand], and then I go in there, and they’re like, “OK, and the next Dama is: Maria Peterson!” And I was like, “What?!” I did not believe it. I was in total shock. And then they gave me like this huge bouquet of flowers, and a banner, and I was super excited. And my friends didn’t know, and they were like “Oh my God, Maria, congratulations!” And I was like “Thank you!” So that’s kind of how it happened.

Naomi Sterling (NS): First, I was told I was chosen out of a few girls in my senior class, and then the protocol woman inter-viewed us, and then Captain [Greg] Pekari called me and told me I got it.

What is the importance of being a Dama?

MP: Well, for me, since I was born in Rota, and raised here all my life … I was meant to represent Rota, and since Damas are kind of meant to represent Rota, then I was kind of like, “Oh yeah! I’m so excited, because I get to represent somewhere that I was from, where I grew up.” I just had to be me; I didn’t really have to do an act or anything.

NS: It’s really important because, for me, I’m the American representative, so I have to represent our base and our com-

munity for the Spanish and make sure that, you know, I’m being responsible.

How did you distinguish yourself in order to be selected?

MP: I actually don’t know. I felt like I was like all the other girls, I didn’t feel like there was something that made me stand

out, besides the fact that I was American and from the base like Naomi [Sterling], but I didn’t feel like I stood out. I knew a lot of the girls from before too, a lot of them are my friends. So, I mean, it was good, I didn’t feel different.

NS: Well, I wanted to portray myself as a good representative, and that I could portray our, you know, community well, and that they could rely on me for that. And I think also that I had more American qualities, because I know a lot of the other [girls] were very Spanish, and I think they really wanted to put someone out there that really represented the Americans a lot.

What did you do as a Dama?MP: Oh well … we had to get fitted for

dresses, which took forever, but it was worth it. And then we had all the parades; we had all the practices to go up and down the stages. We got to go to Seville, go on base, go out to Chipiona; all these different experiences. It was pretty nice; I liked it a lot.

NS: We did a lot of stuff. We took a few field trips to Seville, and then we had all the events and ceremonies, like the coronation and a few parades around the town of Rota, and they were really fun.

How did sharing the honor of being a Dama make the experience even more unique?

MP: It was so much more fun, because if we had any questions, we could ask each other. Like, “What are you gonna wear? Are you gonna go to this? Do you know what you’re gonna do with your hair

and makeup?” It kind of made it special, because I didn’t have to ask the girls, I didn’t have to feel like, “Oh, I’m the only one.” I had Naomi there with me for it, so that was always good.

NS: I think it made it even more fun for me because I was able to share it with someone that I knew, and she was my friend from before, so it was really fun to share that with her.

What was the cultural significance of being a Dama?

NS: Well, I think it helped me learn more about the Spanish culture, and how they interact with the Americans. And it’s kind of like helping the relationships be-tween two cultures.

What did you learn on your field trips with the Damas?

MP: We learned a lot of culture over there. We went to [a beer] factory. We saw different sceneries in Seville, they took us to like important places. In Rota, they took us to the castle, and they showed

us, like, different parts of the castle, and important highlights of the cities. They wanted us to learn about it, so it was definitely interesting.

NS: We learned about beer. We walked around the city of Seville … it was more like sightseeing things.

What was your favorite part of being a Dama?

MP: I think the parades, that was prob-ably my favorite part, being up there with Naomi. We kept talking about it, too. When we’d throw the little kids the serpents, and [see] their smiles and how happy they got, that made everything worth it.

NS: I think being able to spend time with all the Spanish girls, and making friends with them, and also like the big ceremonies, like the coronation and the parades. Those were really fun.

Sterling added that there are more events for the Damas in the months to come, particularly during the holidays and upcoming Feria, or Spring Fair.

MC3 Christina BrewerTeam Rota in the Spotlight

A native of San Antonio, Texas, Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Cristina Brewer joined the Navy Sept. 25, 2012. After completing basic training in Great Lakes, Illinois, she attended Mass Communication Specialist “A” School in Fort Meade, Maryland for six months. In July 2013, she arrived in Rota, Spain and became a part of American Forces Network Rota.

Brewer is a television and radio broadcast journalist who shoots, writes, produces, and edits stories and com-mercials that promote what Sailors and their families do as members of Rota’s community. She also volunteers at the Rota Animal Welfare League Shelter in her free time and is an active member of the Coalition of Sailors Against Destructive Decisions.

Brewer said her biggest accomplishments thus far are graduating ‘A’ School and being selected for the Bobby McRill Excellence Award. The award serves as a tribute to the fallen photographer and is presented to a Sailor who exemplifies Navy core values, leadership, technical expertise, and who promotes an overall positive influence. She said she was humbled by the fact her instructors saw her for who she was and that they trusted her to be part of honoring the memory of man that meant so much.

One of Brewer’s favorite quotes is, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,” said Evelyn Beatrice Hall.
