Strategic systems programs, USS Maryland complete demonstration and shakedown operation

By John Daniels Strategic Systems Programs Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Strategic systems programs and USS Maryland (SSBN738), an Ohio class ballistic missile submarine assigned to Submarine Group 10, completed a demonstration and shakedown operation with the launch of a Trident II D5 missile in the Eastern test range off the coast of Florida.

Designated DASO-27, the operation marked the 161st successful test flights of the Trident II D5 missile.

The primary objective of a DASO is to evaluate and demonstrate the readiness of a SSBN’s strategic weapon system and crew before operational deployment following

its midlife refueling overhaul.

Safety of the public was paramount throughout the mission. The missile was unarmed and the launch was conducted from the sea, flew over the sea and landed in the sea. At no time did the missiles fly over land.

A credible, effective nuclear deterrent is essential to our national security and the security of U.S. allies and friends. Strategic weapons tests, exercises and operations such as DASO-27 demonstrate the readiness of the submarine-launched Trident II missile. As the most survivable leg of our strategic deterrent Triad, it provides the national command authority with assured second-strike capability.

NAVIFOR member receives BIG military meritorious service award the Public Health Services, which is a part of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) in Rockville, Maryland. BIG has been a national response to the need for African Americans in public service to organize around issues of mutual concern and to use their collective strength to confront workplace and community issues. BIG’s goals are to promote equity in all aspects of American life, excellence in public service, and opportunity for all Americans.

The organization was viewed as essential to the black civil service employee, based on a wide assortment of racially motivated problems faced by the HEW black employees in Rockville. After the umbrella organization was thought to only address the problems at the Federal level, it was soon determined that state, county, and municipal black employees were faced with the same general type of employment problems. The military meritorious service award was first implemented in 2005 within the DOD through the Office of Diversity, Management and Equal Opportunity. As of 2015, BIG has taken the role on behalf of the DOD of issuing this award.

Naval Information Forces (NAVIFOR) command is proud to have one of this year’s annual blacks in government (BIG) military meritorious service award winner, Evette M. Washington, who was honored during a reception held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Aug. 23.

“Totally surprised and happy,” Procurement Analyst with NAVIFOR Evette Washington said, expressing how honored she was to receive this award. “I’m mostly a ‘behindthe-scenes’ person. I didn’t really understand the magnitude of this award until I attended the event. I mean, I knew it was important, but not to this extent. What an honor it was to see so many people at this event who believe and support BIG’s mission, purpose, and goals!”

BIG was established in 1975 and incorporated as a non-profit organization under the District of Columbia jurisdiction in 1976 by a small group of African Americans at

“I nominated Evette, because her strong work ethic and zeal to get the job done were outstanding,” Director, Contracts and Acquisitions Management (CAM) for NAVIFOR Denise Roberts said. “Her volunteer work and love for people are impressive. She indeed is an up and coming leader within the government. I’m proud to have her as part of NAVIFOR CAM team.”

According to Roberts, Washington made extraordinary contributions to the Navy and the advancement of BIG. She has the responsibility, accountability, and integrity of fulfilling her role as the sole procurement analyst within the CAM office accomplishing her duties with exemplary results. Similarly, she has excelled in academics by earning a Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a concentration in finance, all while working full-time and being involved with multiple community outreach programs. She understands mission needs and is an innovative leader who is driving change to manage costs and influence a more efficient and effective way in how NAVIFOR procures products and services from the private sector.

“Evette Washington is a dedicated and hard-working team player within NAVIFOR,” NAVIFOR’s deputy commander Mark Kosnik said. “We are so very proud to have someone at this command with a ‘can do’ attitude, exemplary work ethic and the integrity that contributes so much to NAVIFOR’s mission as the Navy’s Information Warfare TYCOM.” Starting her civilian government career in 1988 as a file clerk with the Internal Revenue Service in California, Washington is a native of Lewes, Delaware and was raised in Prince George’s County, Maryland. For a majority of her career, she has worked within law enforcement, performing administrative and paraprofessional duties. She even volunteered for Girl Scouts as a co-leader. She currently resides in Portsmouth, Virginia.

“I want others to know that if you work hard, set one’s mind on reaching his/her goals, all things are possible,” Washington said. “I started in federal government as a GS-3 and I would have never thought I would have made it this far! I continue to remind myself that destiny continues to knock at my door as long as I am willing to do the work!”

NEWS FROM NAS OCEANA 2016 NAS Oceana Air Show includes STEM laboratory

By MC2 Alysia Hernandez NAS Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

While the 2016 Naval Air Station Oceana Air Show delivered spectacular aerial performances as promised, this year, the annual event brought more than just a show to guests.

The event took place Sept.

10 and Sept. 11 with a special show Sept. 9 for military members and their families and for the first time ever, more than 6,000 students from local schools had the

field trip of a lifetime as a special first week back to school adventure.

Science, Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) were the theme of this year’s air show. Students and guests had the opportunity to experience more than 100 exhibits and hands-on displays featuring some of the military’s latest technologies, including robotics, flight dynamics, 3-D printing and environmental initiatives. Plus, performances by some of the world’s greatest aerial acts, including the Navy’s flight demonstra-

tion team, The Blue Angels.

“We are one of the largest military-connected school divisions in the world and we’re very proud,” Virginia Beach School District superintendent Dr. Aaron Spence said. “Teaching students about STEM … that’s a core part of our mission as educators as we get them ready for the future, for college and for their careers.”

“We had the opportunity, being a school division so closely connected to NAS Oceana, to partner with them on this experience, bring all

of our fifth graders here, let them see what it’s like to apply what they’re learning in the classroom to the real world,” Spence said.

Local military commands and many others promoted STEM by displaying their equipment and explaining how it works to students and others interested in learning.

“STEM was an idea I had last year and we began to explore how it can link into the air show and it turns out that this already is one massive STEM laboratory,” air show director Richard Erie said.

“The real wave forward came when we briefed Dr. Spence and got full commitment. Full commitment by the schools enabled us to start aggressively planning six months ago to make this happen.”

Spence said the goal was for children to come to the air show, have fun, see that learning can be interesting, and maybe discover a career they want to pursue and start working towards in the classroom.

“We think we can inspire young minds by seeing some neat technology that they don’t get a chance to see ev-

ery day,” Erie said. “Maybe in doing so, we see 5,000 fifth graders, inspire 100 and out of those 100, ten of those children turn into superscientists who do something fantastic for industry, which does something fantastic for the country in general.”

For a peak into what the 2016 NAS Oceana Air Show was like, visit the Facebook page @oceanaairshow for photos and videos of the performances, as well as walk-throughs of STEM exhibits described by the professionals.

Mesa Verde Sailors celebrate National Park Service centennial at namesake park

By Lt. Matt Pickering USS Mesa Verde Chaplain MESA VERDE, COLO.

Sailors from USS Mesa Verde (LPD 19) took part in the “Founders Day” celebration at their namesake Mesa Verde National Park, commemorating 100 years of the National Park Service (NPS).

Eight members of the crew, including Mesa Verde Commanding Officer Capt. Randall Peck, celebrated with park rangers and staff and members of Native American tribes with ancestral ties to the area.

This marked the ship’s first visit in more than ten years and the first since its commissioning in December 2007.

“The mission for this namesake visit was commemoration and connection. Commemoration of the NPS 100 year anniversary and connection to the Park Staff, state and Navy league officials, our sponsor and the native Americans whose puebloan ancestors called Mesa Verde home,” Peck said. “I cannot imagine a more fulfilling trip for these seven Mesa Verde Sailors in developing a sense

about the park Established by President Theodore Roosevelt and the 59th Congress in 1906, Mesa Verde National Park is a significant archeological and anthropological site representing more than a thousand years of Native American culture.

of connection and perspective as we go forward representing the park and its people.”

Highlights of the name sake visit included a stop at the Albuquerque Isotopes minor league baseball game where the Captain Peck threw out the first pitch and Sailors provided the flag detail for the national anthem, a visit to Shiprock High School MCJROTC in New Mexico, Native American cultural activities, tours of the park sites with rangers, a stop in Pueblo at the Center for American Values dedicated to Medal of Honor recipients, a stop at the Colorado state capital to receive a state flag from the governor, and honored as “Hometown Heroes” by the Denver Broncos during their preseason game.

Sailors took part in the Founders Day celebration with a joint National Park Service/Mesa Verde color guard, opening the event which featured comments from the Park Superintendant Cliff Spencer, Peck, former Senator Ben NighthorseCampbell and his wife Linda, who

the crew received a tour of the Park’s curator facilities.

Upon arriving to the park, crew members spent time with park maintenance personnel clearing the trail

to the South Mesa dwellings. “It was awesome to give back to our name sake,” Sailor of the Year, Aviation Boatswain Mate (Fuels) 1st Class Sherman Windley said. “We were able to do something that none of us has ever done before in clearing and cleaning up the trail that not only benefitted us by our giving, but will benefit those who will be using it.”

For six of the eight crew members, this marked the first time in the western part of the states. “It’s been one of the first times that I’ve been able to experience this side of the country and learn that Mesa Verde is not only my ship name, but it’s also a great nation where people were living and doing amazing things,” Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Darren Parker said.

NAVY-MARINE EMERGENCY SERVICES OFFICE REOPENS ON NWS YORKTOWN

By Michael Vernon Voss NWS Yorktown Public Affairs YORKTOWN, VA.

The Navy-Marine emergency services office has reopened on Naval Weapons Station Yorktown after closing its doors more than three years ago.

Although scheduled for a grand opening ceremony in September, Yorktown service members now have access to assistance with time-sensitive issues that don’t allow travel to the regional Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society office in Norfolk.

Located inside the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Fleet and Family Service Center, some of the services available through the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown emergency services office (ESO) include quick-

assistance loans, help applying for emergency leave and travel, and disaster relief assistance for assigned service members and families.

“The reopening of the Yorktown ESO ensures our Sailors and Marines have access to the help they need during emergency situations,” Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Commanding Officer Capt. Paul C. Haebler said. “Being able to provide these services to our service members in their time of need was the goal behind reopening the office.

The last thing a Sailor and their family need to worry about during an emergency is what time does the office I need open. The ESO provides the emergency assistance needed 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”

The staff of the newly opened ESO consist volunteers who were trained by Navy Ma-

Michael Vernon Voss Children from the Weapons Station Yorktown Child Development Center (CDC) enjoy an afternoon walk around the CDC and take in the sights and sounds of the end of the Summer Reading Program Celebration, Aug. 26.

NWS Yorktown, Fort Eustis together read for the win

By Michael Vernon Voss NWS Yorktown Public Affairs YORKTOWN, VA.

More than 120 children attending the Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Child Development Center (CDC) benefitted from the Summer Reading Program this year thanks to some forward thinking of a couple educators.

For the past two years the NWS Yorktown CDC summer reading coordinator, Pamela Simmons, has worked with the head librarian Valerie Fashion at the Groninger Library located at Fort Eustis, to allow Yorktown and Cheatham Annex children the opportunity to participate in the annual literacy program. This year, however, Simmons pursued a way to get more children involved.

According to studies published by the U.S. Department of Education, summer vacation is a long entrenched tradition for American school children and their families, but new research is showing that this practice may not be the best when it comes to helping kids get the most out of their educational experience. In fact, for some kids, a few months off in the summer can lead to major setbacks in school, including loss of knowledge and lowered test scores.

This is where initiatives like the DOD Moral, Welfare and Recreation libraries’ summer reading program come in.

Through the summer reading program, this year appropriately themed “Read — For the Win”, children who participate in the free program and complete reading activities get to collect rewards and at the end of the summer use rewards to purchase prizes.

This year Simmons and Fashion coordinated a solution that allowed the summer reading program to incorporate not just more Yorktown children, but every child enrolled at the CDC. In June, Fashion started loaning Simmons books that she would load into her car and drive the 20 minute trek from Fort Eustis to the NWS Yorktown CDC. Each week, Simmons along with the other CDC employees and parents

would meet and spend an hour reading books to the kids.

“I remember the day I called Ms. Fashion and asked if we could look into bringing her and the books here versus us traveling to Fort Eustis,” Simmons said. “I thought, if we could get the resources here we could allow more of the classes to be involved in the program, and that’s when Ms. Fashion said, ‘let’s do it.’”

Weekly, the Groninger Library, whose purpose, according to the website, is to provide effective, professionally supervised library services for clientele that includes active duty soldiers and their family members, retirees and their family members, National Guard, Reservists, civilians, contractors and college students attending college on Fort Eustis, Fashion would log each of the children’s time reading or being read books.

This routine continued from 27 June to 12 August where Fashion would bring requested books like, “The Cat in the Hat,” “Little Fish Little Fish” and “Brown Bear Brown Bear” and teacher, parents and children would gather around to enjoy the children’s classics.

Children like Tyler, a second-year summer reading program participant, whose mom explained, “Tyler really enjoyed being able to read the different books and you could see his progress reading through the course of the summer,” she said.

To celebrate the readers’ achievement the NWS Yorktown CDC facility and staff, along with Ms. Fashion, and parents held a bitter sweet end of the summer reading program celebration here, Aug. 26, but for Simmons and Fashion the relationship will continue.

“We hope to continue this program and venture into the future, because it is undeniable there are clear benefits to summer reading and we are just Reading-For the Win this year but every year,” Simmons said.

This year throughout the Hampton Roads area more than 16,000 participants read more than 203,000 books as part of the 2016 summer reading program.

rine Corps Relief Society ESO caseworkers.

According to their website, the NMCRS, consisting of 3,500 volunteers around the world, is a non-profit, charitable organization that provides financial assistance and education to active duty and retired members of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, their eligible family members and survivorswhen in need.

“The Naval Weapons Station Yorktown ESO volunteers will be assisted with reachback capability to the Peninsula NMCRS office in instances where the support the service member or family needs cannot be accomplished at the installation level,” director of the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society Norfolk Kathy Nelson said. “The ESOs are not a full-service office typical of larger bases, but much of the assistance provided

from the Yorktown office will be typical of that provided at any of these typical offices.

Some of that support includes quick loans to service members to cover various expenses from car repair and rent to grocery and utility bills.

“This office has been needed and is great for our Sailors,” Naval Weapons Station Yorktown Command Master Chief Lee Friedlander said. “Each of us has experienced a moment in our lives when we needed help.

Now if a Yorktown Sailor or Marine finds themselves or their family in a situation that they need emergency assistance after hours they can call the Command Duty Officer, who will in turn notify the volunteer ESO representative and that person will be there to help the service member get the help they need.”

WALK | Event aims

Ike CSG, Air Force come together for air defense exercise

to change approach to mental health Continued from A1 prevention and depression. Abraham Lincoln Sailors used this event as an opportunity to recognize the effect that suicide has on friends, families and a command. “We’re in a stressful situation being in a shipboard environment, and a lot of people have been affected by suicide,� Legalman 2nd Class James G. Cameron said. “By raising awareness and finding positive outlets for our stress, we can turn lives around and save people from the devastation of suicide.�

The event is held across the country to benefit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), the leading national not-for-profit organization exclusively dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide, research, education and advocacy.

According to AFSP, the walks give people the courage to open up about their own struggles or losses, and provide a platform to change our culture’s

approach to mental health. “It’s important to support people who have been affected by suicide, be it the person contemplating suicide or the family and friends affect by suicide,� Personnel Specialist 1st Class Violet Sandoval said. “Suicide is a life changing decision for all involved, not just the person who commits suicide.

It devastates families and friendships, and it affects us as a Navy because although we can replace a person’s billet, we can’t replace the Sailor. That’s why I feel so many of us came out here today, to show that we care.�

The walk was not just geared to helping those who have suffered from

the loss or near loss of a loved one, but also to help those in need and raise awareness of the resources available to those who are suffering from depression. “The response from the crew to support this walk was absolutely incredible,� Air Traffic Controller 1st Class Mark Summers said, who helped organize the Lincoln volunteers. “By supporting this event, we are saying to our friends, loved ones, and shipmates that they are not alone.�

Information on suicide prevention is available from at the Navy Suicide Prevention Program Webpage: www. suicide.navy.mil.

WARRIORS | Pavelka met with critically ill Airman, Marine Continued from A1 Moving forward, we hope to have more of these visits to the VA hospital in the future.�

Since February 2014, Pavelka has led NAVIFOR’s Wounded Warrior Safe Harbor program with monthly visits to Portsmouth Naval Hospital.

The program has allowed the NAVIFOR team to interact with patients and support staff as well as family members. The visits to the VA hospital in Richmond and the local visits to the Portsmouth Naval Hospital give the volunteers a chance to see not only injured shipmates but also men and women from other services with a variety of medical challenges. “During my tenure here, in addition to Navy Sailors, we have also visited Soldiers, Marines, Airman and Coastguardsmen,� Pavelka de-

scribed. “Often times, the patients have few visitors if any because their families are out of state, or sadly, a common theme for many of our service men and women who are recovering from injuries is a lack of contact or visits from their last command. When we visit the patients, it seems as if we fill that void and thus we are well received. This also gives us as volunteers a stark reminder that perhaps our daily obstacles that seem like mountains are really just anthills in comparison to the real struggles some of our shipmates are going through.�

Wednesday’s visit included interactive time with two critically ill Sailors, an Air Force Airman and a Marine all going through various stages of rehabilitation and therapy.

These are normally people making the transition to get back to active

duty or in other cases, making their transitions to civilian life.

Pavelka and the NAVIFOR team also met four Vietnam-era Army war veterans who just happened to be in the hospital for various reasons. Pavelka described the experience as an excellent opportunity to talk about NAVIFOR and to listen to their life stories and memories during their time on active duty. “Lt. Pavelka’s continued achievements to successfully organize and lead this effort within NAVIFOR and connect with the Regional Wounded Warrior Safe Harbor network is a true testament of the limitless opportunities out there in giving back to those who, while serving, were injured,�

NAVIFOR’s Chief of Staff Capt.

Kelly Aeschbach said, a devoted advocate of supporting Pavelka’s persistent support for Wounded Warriors.

ARABIAN GULF

The Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group (CSG) and the U.S. Air Force conducted a joint air defense exercise (ADEX) in the Arabian Gulf Aug. 29.

Aircraft and ships participate in the exercise to improve integration of Navy and Air Force assets, maintain unit proficiency and enhance interoperability between the joint forces.

Participating units include two F/A-18E Super Hornets assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 86, one F/A-18C from VFA-131, one F/A-18F from VFA-32, one E-2C Hawkeye assigned to Airborne Early Warning Squadron (VAW) 123, two U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptors from the 90th Fighter Squadron (90 FS) and the guided-missile cruisers USS San Jacinto (CG 56) and USS Monterey (CG 61). “Commander Task Force (CTF) 50 and assigned assets had the privilege of conducting the first joint air defense exercise in the Arabian Gulf in over a year,� air and missile defense commander for Ike CSG and the guided-missile cruiser USS San Jacinto (CG 56) Commanding Officer Capt.

Dennis Velez said. “This event successfully increased San Jacinto’s air defense proficiency while strengthening the U.S. Navy and Air Force relationship in support of air and missile defense of the Arabian Gulf.�

The two cruisers were tested in their ability to conduct air defense. “Their mission is to screen

and protect the high value unit from air threats and provide the alternate air intercept controllers (AIC) if the E-2C could not,� Lt. Mathew Kessler said, who served as the liaison officer between the carrier and San Jacinto while embarked on Ike. One major goal of the monthly exercise was to test the preparedness of each participating entity at carrying out the warfare commander’s guidance by simulating higher threat levels and weapons postures using theoretical threats. “Throughout the mission, planning, execution and debrief process we are constantly learning and finding out what works and areas we can focus on for improvement,� pilot and the training officer for VFA-86 Lt. Paul Garcia said. “From our cruisers and destroyers, strike warfare commanders and watch standers, to the squadrons and aircrew flying in the events, we get the opportunity to practice like we would fight.�

Working side-by-side, both the Navy and Air Force were able to gain a better comprehension of each other’s tactics and capabilities while reinforcing the U.S. military’s commitment to maintain a sustainable defensive presence in support of its regional and coalition partners, provide the flexibility to react to possible crises and safeguard the free flow of traffic in waterways and ground transit routes critical to the global economy.

OPTIONS FOR THE THOSE WHO NEED ASSISTED LIVING From TRICARE

As you or your loved ones age, you may find that getting to doctors’ offices is more difficult or more frequent. TRICARE offers several options to help you get the care you need. First, decide which services you need, like whether you need a skilled nursing facility or nursing home. Then you can find out if TRICARE covers those services.

Skilled nursing care is covered by TRICARE in the U.S. and U.S. Territories within skilled nursing facilities (SNF) if you have a hospital stay of three or more days. Remember, you are an outpatient until the doctor formally admits you into the hospital. You become inpatient on the day you’re formally admitted to a hospital with a doctor’s order.

The day of discharge also doesn’t count as an inpatient day.

Services covered in a skilled nursing facility include: semi-private rooms (a room you share with other patients), meals, skilled nursing care, physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology services, medical social services, medications, medical supplies and equipment used in the facility, ambulance transportation (when other transportation is dangerous to your health) to the nearest care not available at the facility, and dietary counseling.

Skilled nursing facility care is different from nursing home care, which is not covered by TRICARE. Nursing homes provide custodial careNon-skilled, personal care for basic day-to-day tasks. This includes help with eating, dressing, getting in or out of a bed or chair, moving around, and using the bathroom., which is care that helps you with activities such as: bathing, dressing, walking, eating and sleeping. Learn more about this on the TRICARE website.

In either situation, you may need durable medical equipment (DME). DME is equipment that can hold up to repeated use and serves a medical purpose, like oxygen equipment or insulin pumps. TRICARE covers durable medical equipment (DME) when prescribed by a physician to increase your quality of life.

If you can stay home, but still need assistance, you may decide home health care is best for you. Home health care is provided by

nurses, nurses’ aides, or therapists who come into your home to help you with medication or other services. Physical, speech and occupational therapists can visit to help you function better. Medical social service workers can visit to make sure you receive proper care.

Coverage is the same as Medicare for these services.

Hospice Care is care for those who are terminally ill. It emphasizes supportive services such as pain control and home care. When you choose hospice care, you’ve decided that you no longer want care to cure your terminal illness and/or your doctor has determined that efforts to cure your illness aren’t working.

TRICARE and Medicare do not cover assisted living facilities or long term care.

The Department of Veterans Affairs pays for long-term care services for service-related disabilities and certain other eligible veterans. They also offer nursing home care and at home care for aging veterans who need long term care.

Remember, long term care is care that you need if you can no longer perform everyday tasks by yourself due to a chronic illness, injury, disability or the aging process. Plan ahead and research long-term care insurance, like the Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program before you need it.

Mid-Atlantic Fleet and Family Support Centers (FFSC) programs and services are designed to help you make the most of your military experience, and they're all available to you at no cost.

Navy adjusts LCS class crewing, readiness and employment From Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet SAN DIEGO

The Navy announced Sept. 8 it will implement several key changes to the projected 28-ship littoral combat ship (LCS) class over the next five years that will simplify crewing, stabilize testing and increase overseas deployment presence availability.

The projected 12 frigates will be the next increment of LCS and will use the same manning, training, maintenance and operating concepts as those that have been approved as part of the LCS review. The decision to make these changes resulted from a comprehensive review of LCS crewing, training, maintenance and operations commissioned in March. While a total of 40 ships have been approved for the program, the Navy Force Structure Assessment still projects the need for 52 small surface combatants that LCS and Frigate address.

Beginning this fall, the Navy will start to phase out the 3:2:1 crewing construct and transition to a Blue and Gold model similar to the one used in crewing Ballistic Missile submarines, patrol craft and minesweepers. The LCS crews will also merge, train and rotate with mission module detachment crews, organizing as four-ship divisions of a single warfare area – either surface warfare (SUW), mine warfare (MCM) or anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Though organized this way, the LCS class will retain the technological benefits of modularity and the ability to swap mission packages quickly if needed. Aviation detachments will also deploy with the same LCS crew, but will remain assigned to their respective squadrons when in home port.

To facilitate these changes across the class, the Navy will eventually homeport Independence-variant ships in San Diego and Freedom-variant ships in Mayport, Florida, 24 of the 28 LCS ships will form into six divisions with three divisions on each coast. Each division will have a single warfare focus and the crews and mission module detachments will be fused. Each division will consist of three Blue and Gold-crewed ships that deploy overseas and one singlecrewed training ship. Under this construct, each division’s

MC2 Katarzyna Kobiljak Littoral combat ship USS Coronado (LCS 4) returns to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam after experiencing an engineering casualty while transiting to the Western Pacific. Coronado departed Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam Aug. 26 to continue its independent deployment to the Western Pacific. Prior to departing Pearl Harbor the ship participated in the Rim of the Pacific 2016 exercise.

training ship will remain available locally to certify crews preparing to deploy. Few homeport shifts will be needed since only six LCS are currently commissioned while the rest are under contract, in construction or in a pre-commissioned unit status.

The first four LCS ships (LCS 1-4) will become testing ships. Like the training ships, testing ships will be singlecrewed and could be deployed as fleet assets if needed on a limited basis; however, their primary purpose will be to satisfy near and long term testing requirements for the entire LCS class without affecting ongoing deployment rotations.

This approach accommodates spiral development and rapid deployment of emerging weapons and delivery systems to the fleet without disrupting operational schedules.

Implementing these changes now and as more LCS ships are commissioned over the coming years will ultimately allow the Navy to deploy more ships, increasing overall forward presence. With the Blue and Gold model in place, three out of four ships will be available for deployment compared with one out of two under 3:2:1. The Blue and Gold model will also simplify ownership of maintenance

responsibilities and enhance continuity as the same two crews rotate on a single ship. Single-crewed training ships will complement shore-based training facilities and ensure crews have enough time at sea before deployment. The findings and recommendations of the LCS review will allow the LCS program to become more survivable, lethal and adaptable as the LCS become regular workhorses in the fleet.

“As we implement these changes, we will continue to make iterative adjustments and improvements based on evolving fleet requirements and technological developments,” Commander of Naval Surface Forces Vice Adm. Tom Rowden said. “Implementing the approved recommendations from this review and continuing to examine other areas for improvement will better position the LCS program for success – both now and in the future.”

Chilean navy submarine arrives in San Diego for CHILEMAR VI

By MC2 Derek Harkins Navy Public Affairs Support Element West SAN DIEGO

HOUSTON RECRUITERS, TEACHERS BUILD ROBOTS!

By MC1 Chris Fahey NRD Houston Public Affairs Officer

The Chilean navy diesel-electric submarine SS Thomson (SS 20) arrived at Naval Base Point Loma to participate in the bi-lateral exercise CHILEMAR VI. CHILEMAR is designed to demonstrate interoperability between U.S. submarine rescue systems and Chilean submarines, including a simulated submarine rescue operation, and to promote greater understanding and cooperation between the two nations.

Submarine Squadron 11 (CSS11) senior deputy Cmdr. John Croghan, greeted Thomson Commanding Officer Chilean navy Cmdr. Oscar Manzano on the pier upon the ship’s arrival.

Manzano, a staff and submarine warfare officer, holds a professional degree in weapons engineer-

ing with a major in submarines and a Master of Science in naval and maritime sciences. With more than 10 years of seagoing experience, he has navigated more than 15,000 miles submerged aboard Thomson.

“I am very pleased and excited to work with the U.S. Navy,” Manzano said. “My crew and I are blessed to have the opportunity to come to San Diego and work with your fine Sailors. We are ready to get started.”

During this iteration of CHILEMAR, Undersea Rescue Command (URC), assigned to CSS-11, plans to conduct a full scale submarine rescue exercise with Thomson. URC intends to utilize divers donning atmospheric diving suits (ADS) along with a pressurized rescue module (PRM). The PRM is a submarine rescue chamber that submerges to the submarine on the ocean floor and seals over its hatch to conduct a personnel transfer.

“I’m pleased we have been able

to add submarine rescue as an additional capability on top of those we already get through the DESI initiative,” Croghan said.

CHILEMAR supports the Diesel-Electric Submarine Initiative (DESI). DESI enhances the Navy’s capability to operate with dieselelectric submarines by partnering with South American navies equipped with these vessels. This provides a degree of authenticity and realism to exercises, providing the Navy with opportunities to build experience both tracking and operating with them. The program strengthens partnerships and encourages cooperation between partner nations, furthering the capabilities of U.S. maritime strategy.

“Submarine rescue operations involve very challenging procedures, and they require consistent training to maintain proficiency,” Croghan said. “Our ability to cooperate with our partner nations during such a technical evolution will ensure that, in the unlikely event of an actual submarine emergency, we will be operationally prepared.”

ALVIN, TEXAS

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM), is the Navy’s gateway to building leaders in the science and technology industries; SeaPerch is a STEM-related underwater robotics program that provides teachers and students with the resources they need to build an underwater remote operated vehicle (ROV) using low-cost, easily accessible parts. The purpose is to introduce students of virtually all ages with basic engineering and science concepts in a real-world situation.

Why should recruiters and teachers participate?

The Navy’s SeaPerch program allows school teams to compete for college scholarships, making it a ready-made program for building the future leaders of tomorrow – in and out of the Navy.

Navy City Outreach Coordinator Senior Chief Petty Officer Therese Rogers was determined to invite as many school districts as possible to help them build a transparent, professional and successful SeaPerch program.

“It is critical for us to educate the teachers about SeaPerch so they are able to educate their students and implement this highly beneficial program into their during, after-school or summer curriculum,” Rogers said. “Inviting multiple school districts ensures transparent training throughout all communities and helps introduce basic ship and submarine design skills, naval architecture and ocean engineering to our future leaders at the earliest stage possible.”

The seminar started early in the morning with the city outreach team providing breakfast before teaching attendees how to solder, build thrusters and assembling the frame of an ROV. By midafternoon, the team moved on to in-water testing where they soon understood the benefits of the seminar.

“The training was very challenging, and I loved the hands on application of the sciences we learned,” NRD Houston Recruiter Petty Officer 1st Class Evan Wilson said. “I feel very confident that the teachers had an amazing time and that I’m prepared to help them in the classroom with what I’ve always felt was a truly-beneficial program. I wish I had this when I was in high school.”

Surface force commander orders engineering stand down From Naval Surface Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet Public Affairs SAN DIEGO

Following the recent engineering casualty on the littoral combat ship USS Freedom (LCS 1), Commander of Naval Surface Forces Vice Adm. Tom Rowden ordered an engineering stand down for every LCS crew to review procedures and standards for their engineering departments.

“Due to the ongoing challenges with littoral combat ships, I ordered an engineering stand down for LCS squadrons and the crews that fall under their command,” Rowden said. The stand downs have all been completed as of Aug. 31.

“These stands down allowed for time to review, evaluate, and renew our commitment to ensuring our crews are fully prepared to operate these ships safely,” Rowden said.

Additionally, Rowden directed the retraining of each LCS Sailor involved in engineering on board

their ship. “I have asked the Surface Warfare Office School (SWOS) commander to review the wholeness of our LCS engineering education and training to include the testing and retraining of all LCS engineers,” Rowden said.

“This training will occur over the next 30 days and will allow the SWOS leadership to review our training program and determine if other changes need to be made to the training pipeline,” Rowden continued.

The required engineering training will be conducted by the SWOS’ engineering team, who will develop both a level-of-knowledge test and specialized training that will be deployed in the next 30 days to the LCS engineering force. The commanding officer of SWOS is also conducting a comprehensive LCS engineering review, which will likely take 30-60 days. From there, more adjustments may be made to the engineering training pipeline.

While determining the process for retraining and certifying the engineering departments, USS Coronado (LCS 4) experienced a casualty to one its flexible couplings assemblies on Aug. 29.

“I am fully committed to ensuring that our ships and the Sailors who man them have the proper tools and training they need to safely and effectively operate these ships,” Rowden said.

COMLOG WESTPAC, MSC Far East test afloat watch stations during Ulchi Freedom Guardian

By MC2 Joshua Fulton CTF 73 Public Affairs SINGAPORE

Navy reservists and staff from Logistics Group Western Pacific and Military Sealift Command Far East operated watch stations aboard the expeditionary fast transport ship USNS Millinocket (T-EPF 3) as part of Ulchi Freedom Guardian.

The utilization of platforms like Millinocket for logistical support operations enhances the ability of the U.S. 7th Fleet to conduct agile expeditionary logistics during operational contingencies and peacetime operations.

“Millinocket is a multi-mission platform and we’re testing the ship’s ability to conduct command and control of logistics assets in a variety of expeditionary environments,” N5 plans and exercises director for COMLOG WESTPAC Cmdr. Alex Davila said. “Ulchi Freedom Guardian provided an ideal venue for our staff to direct logistical operations and coordinate closely with operators across the fleet and throughout the Korean peninsula.”

During the exercise, logisticians and reserve personnel assumed watch stations aboard Mil-

linocket – monitoring, tracking and coordinating the movement of fuel, supplies and ordnance within the table-top scenario.

“The success of maritime operations is dependent upon logistics and enabling the operators to be in the right place with the necessary tools to complete their mission,” Logistics Readiness Center reserve detachment Commanding Officer Cmdr. Paul Porter said.

The utilization of Millinocket as a command and control platform for expeditionary logistics enhances flexibility, according to staff logisticians.

“It offers tactical flexibility which is important during any operational contingency,” battle watch captain Lt. Cmdr. Christopher Noa said. “It gives us the ability to continue operations and complete our mission even if shore-based logistical support becomes compromised or limited in any way.”

The watch stations on Millinocket are a proof-of-concept for future expeditionary logistics. Exercise participants said the operations were a tangible step forward in fully developing the capability.

“We experienced some challenges with communication and coordination, but we

worked through those issues and learned how to operate from an alternative watch floor,” Noa said. “We’re taking everything we learned during the exercise so we can benefit from our experiences and develop solutions that move us closer to the full potential of this concept.”

the Joint Chiefs of Staff-sponsored, PACOMdirected, United Nations Command, Combined Forces Command and U.S. Forces Korea annual joint and combined command post exercise. The purpose of the exercise is to enhance the combat readiness of ROK and U.S. supporting forces through combined and joint training while improving ROK-U.S. combat readiness, and combined and joint interoperability.

ZUMWALT | Ship to be formally commissioned Oct. 15 during Fleet Week in Baltimore Continued from B1 and ship services. The IPS generates approximately 78 megawatts of power, nearly what a nuclearpowered aircraft carrier generates, to meet the total ship electric power requirements and provide extra capacity to accommodate future weapons and computing systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With 78 megawatts of power generation capacity readily available, DDG 1000 enters the Fleet bringing with it a new era of power generation, conversion and propulsion to the U.S. Navy,â&#x20AC;? Kirk said.

In preparation for Zumwaltâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s departure from Bath, the crew recently completed an engineering light off assessment and crew certification to ensure the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s readiness to join the surface fleet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 147 Sailors of Zumwalt (DDG 1000) have completed the training and certifications required of them in record time. They have demonstrated superb technical expertise, teamwork and toughness over the last three months,â&#x20AC;? Kirk said.

In addition to its advanced weapon and propulsion systems,

Zumwalt is much larger than todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s destroyers. At 610 feet long and 80.7 feet wide, Zumwalt is 100 feet longer and 13 feet wider and its flight deck is 93 percent larger than an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer.

Stealthy, powerful and lethal, Zumwalt integration into the fleet will provide a vital link from the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current needs to its future capabilities.

Zumwalt will be formally commissioned during Fleet Week Maryland in Baltimore Oct. 15.

Following the commissioning ceremony Zumwalt will begin its

MCPON | Giordano relieves Stevens Continued from B1 lead and advocate for Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest treasure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; those that wear the cloth of our nation and have sworn an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic,â&#x20AC;? Stevens said during his speech.

He continued, speaking about his service as the 13th MCPON. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve often been asked â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What was your number one goal as the MCPON?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; My answer has never changed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;As a leader, it has always been my primary goal to establish and maintain the conditions that provide all of our people

with the opportunity to be successful. And to do this while treating one another with dignity and respect,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Stevens said.

He concluded, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight I will remove my uniform for the last time and will not wear it again until my eternal rest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I do this with a smile on my face, knowing that I will always be a Sailor that served in the greatest Navy in the world.â&#x20AC;?

After Stevens spoke, he and Giordano conducted the ceremonial passing of the cutlass, symbolizing the change of office, and Giordano assuming the title of the 14th MCPON. Giordano then delivered re-

marks saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Admiral, I am honored to have been afforded this opportunity and it is one I do not take lightly.â&#x20AC;?

Giordano continued, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now with one foot anchored smartly on the history and heritage of our service, and one foot stepping forward into the future, I look forward to serving this great Navy of ours as the 14th master chief petty officer of the Navy with all the reverence, respect and action incumbent on the office.â&#x20AC;?

Following the ceremony a small reception was held where friends, loved ones and shipmates bid MCPON Mike and Theresa Stevens farewell and welcomed MCPON Steven and Elka Giordano.

PROGRAMS | ASIST and SafeTALK can help Continued from B1 family members wondering what they could have done to prevent it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very common for those family members left behind to feel guilty after a suicide,â&#x20AC;?

Navy Installations Command (NIC) force chaplain Capt.

Gary Clore said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sometimes leaves them with the difficulty of trying to make sense of what happened.â&#x20AC;?

September is suicide prevention month and the effects it has on the Navy family make it a major cause of concern for Navy Installations Command.

According to Clore, his training and his work as a Navy chaplain have helped him provide a good support network to others and have allowed him to cope with his own personal tragedy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was seven years old my father came home and told me that my grandfather had passed away,â&#x20AC;? Clore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had apparently taken his own life by carbon monoxide poisoning and my father was the one who actually found him in his car in the garage.â&#x20AC;?

This tragedy helps to define Clore as he is today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This serious tragedy, the most seriously impacting event for my father, allowed him to have a positive outlook on life and made him a good father and husband. I inherited my personal values of being authentically caring and respectful of others from my fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past experiences,â&#x20AC;? Clore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While we cannot redo the past, we can forge the present and the future by understanding those who are in our sphere of influence as we listen and care.â&#x20AC;?

Navy Installations Command provides programs that can help Navy personnel in their struggles with suicidal thoughts or actions.

The programs available include Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) and Suicide Alertness for Everyone: Tell Ask Listen and Keep Safe (SafeTALK) which is run by the NIC force chaplainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office.

ASIST is a two-day suicide prevention training which focuses on the quality of the intervention and in moving

someone at risk towards safety.

SafeTALK is part of the ASIST program and is a threehour training that teaches participants to recognize and engage persons who might be having thoughts of suicide and to connect them with community resources trained in suicide intervention. SafeTALK stresses safety while challenging taboos that inhibit open talk about suicide, according to Clore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For suicide prevention to be effective, it requires everyone to know and understand the risk factors and warning signs of suicide and to know how to respond and take action to those warning signs,â&#x20AC;?

Clore said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Any person who indicates suicidal thoughts or behaviors should be taken seriously and treated with the utmost respect.â&#x20AC;?

Navy Installations Command is comprised of approximately 52,000 military and civilian personnel worldwide responsible for the operations, maintenance and quality of life programs to support the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fleet, Sailors and their families.

transit to San Diego, making several port visits enroute. Upon arrival in San Diego, she is scheduled to take part in a Post Delivery Availability and Mission Systems Activation and is expected to be integrated into the fleet in 2018 following test and evaluation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We take a great deal of pride in our namesake, Adm. Zumwalt, and are committed to honoring him through our service,â&#x20AC;? Kirk said.

A veteran of World War II and the conflicts in Korea and Vietnam, Adm. Zumwalt exemplified honor, courage and commitment during

32 years of dedicated naval service, earning a Bronze Star with Valor for his actions during the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

During his time as CNO, Adm. Zumwalt embraced technological innovation and advocated a number of successful programs including, the Oliver Hazard Perry-class frigate, the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine and the F-14 Tomcat, all of which yielded long-term benefits to the warfighting readiness of the Navy. His legacy is proudly carried on today by the new class of destroyers that bear his name.

TEST | â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our job is to make sure the

fleet wins today and in the future.â&#x20AC;?

Continued from B1 their Littoral Combat Shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (LCS) Surface Warfare (SUW) Mission Package Command and Control laboratory several miles away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This event brings it all together,â&#x20AC;?

NSWC commander Rear Adm. Tom Druggan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to field systems that are a slam dunk win for the Navy. Our job is to make sure the fleet wins today and in the future.â&#x20AC;?

The test, made possible by a cybernetic laboratory called USS Dahlgren, conducted engagement coordination with virtual and hardware representations of systems on USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), USS Bunker Hill (CG 52), and USS Independence (LCS 2) during live fire destruction of surface threats utilizing the LCS 30 millimeter, Aegis MK 46 gun systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-inch guns, and simulated Hellfire missiles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been five to six years in the making and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come at a better time as we see real-world events such as the recent small boat incursions in the Middle East, highlighting the need for the fleet,â&#x20AC;?

NSWCDD Commanding Officer Capt.

Brian Durant said.

Druggan, Durant and their counterparts watched as actual combat system equipment from the aircraft carrier and two surface combatant laboratories directed live fire on the Potomac River Test Range as fictitious surface threats attempted to attack.

The live fire engagements continued throughout the scenario, demonstrating integration of currently fielded capabilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from MH-60R and MH-60S sea hawk helicopters to the Aegis Combat System and the Ship Self-Defense System â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with new technologies such as virtual automatic scoring system (VASS).

The NSWCDD-patented VASS calculates gunfire miss distances and adjusts targeting for gunners to converge gunfire onto a target without risking the lives of forward observers.

Live targets were quickly destroyed at safe distances as more than 60 visitors observed the power of integration.

They also watched as Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) impacted the demonstration with air domain assets and expertise. The NAWCAD Surface Aviation Interoperability Lab â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;RoadHawkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tractor trailer with its MH-60R sea hawk surface attack helicopterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s avionics suite and a mobile van carrying an MH60S helicopter provided over-the-horizon threat contact, identification, tracking and simulated Hellfire engagements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By utilizing multiple laboratories and live capabilities across the Navy, we are able to model a very realistic, complex battle space environment to thoroughly test our weapon systems,â&#x20AC;? NAWCAD Integrated Battlespace Simulation and Test Department director Amy Markowich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Combining live, virtual and constructive assets such as the Roadhawk, virtualized and hardware-in-the-loop ship simulations, and the LCS 30 millimeter gun here at Dahlgren, make it possible to evaluate how multiple Navy assets will work together easily and at a much reduced cost.â&#x20AC;?

The eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first scenario featured simulated engagements on maneuvering targets, proving the Navyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to use manned and unmanned platforms for early over-the-horizon detection and tracking as well as future unmanned surface vehicle engagements.

Dahlgren facilitates this mission with high fidelity testing that leverages both hardware-in-the loop and virtual combat systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All testing occurred within the fence in an environment that does not impact Navy ships or crew members,â&#x20AC;? Dahlgren tactical operations lead Steven Shannon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The testing normally required aboard a Navy ship and other high demand sites can be now accomplished through USS Dahlgren including capability at other warfare centers.â&#x20AC;?

SECOND NEON FESTIVAL, A DAYSLONG BURGEONING ARTISTIC EXTRAVAGANZA

Thé N. Pham | The Virginian-Pilot file photo

By Rashod Ollison The Virginian-Pilot

In just a year, the NEON District, the stretch between downtown Norfolk and Ghent, has become a magnet for all things progressive and artistic, giving credence to its acronym, which stands for New Energy of Norfolk.

Four organizations anchor the district: Chrysler Museum Glass Studio, Glass Wheel Studio, the Rutter Family Art Foundation and Work | Release. Exhibitions so far, especially those at Work | Release, have supported the directive of the area, from daring neon sculptures to an overview of hiphop aesthetics in modern art.

The NEON Festival, starting Thursday and ending Sunday, is a grand, mostly openair showcase of what the arts district has to offer, including organic food and music. A mix of local and nationally recognized artists will be exhibiting work along with muralists. Here’s a look at a few things you don’t want to miss.

Thursday 5 to 10 p.m. // Chrysler Museum of Art, One Memorial Place, Norfolk The Chrysler will become something of a dance party and carnival as DJP and Mr T supply the music. Also in store are lawn games, food trucks, cash-bar drinks. At 6:30 p.m., a discussion with Norfolk artist Brian Bress

will precede the debut of his latest exhibition of video art. Admission is free.

8 to 10 p.m. // Chrysler Museum Glass Studio, 745 Duke St., Norfolk At the Chrysler’s Perry Glass Studio, Robin and Julia Rogers will provide both the evening’s glass performance and the music, an exploration through myths and deities, “Incarnation: A Karmic Opus.” Admission is free, but because it’s standing-room-only Third Thursday , admission tickets still are required for entrance. They will be available at the Glass Studio starting at 6 on the night of the event, or reserve tickets in advance at reservations. www.chrysler.org.

Friday 5 to 9 p.m. Bearded Bird Artist Village // Bearded Bird Brewing, 727 Granby St., Norfolk Weeks before its grand opening, Bearded Bird Brewing will become a showcase for local artists and acoustic musicians, especially for the NEON Festival.

5 p.m. “Between Further and Farther” exhibition opbening // Work | Release, 759 Granby St., Norfolk Hosted by Chrysler Museum Glass Studio, the Rutter Family Art Foundation and Glass Wheel Studio, the New Energy Artists Residency (or NEAR) program features the work of an emerging glass or newmedia artist. Sarah Blood, the first artist spotlighted in the program, will debut her

exhibit, “Between Further and Farther,” in the inaugural show of the NEAR Program at Work | Release. Using the motif of paper airplanes as a starting point, “Between Further and Farther” explores how technology affects our sense of community. Blood created paper airplanes out of glass, metal and concrete, and will have videos and photos included in her presentation that play on the theme of one-sided long-distance communication. Live performances and DJ sets will add more funk and flair to the night.

5 to 9 p.m. Stickwork Interactive Art with the Hermitage // The Plot, 776 Granby St., Norfolk The Hermitage will offer an interactive art project inspired by the fall exhibition by sculptor Patrick Dougherty. Help create a large, colorful “stickwork” sculpture that will stay up throughout the festival. Afterward, create your own mini-stick art ornament to take home.

Saturday 5 to 9 p.m. d’Art Center at The NEON Festival // The Plot, 776 Granby St., Norfolk D’Art Center will host the NEON Festival on Saturday evening at the Plot. Artists will partner with ForKids for an evening of interactive art with d’Art Center studio artists, with music by Joint Therapy Band and dog tattoos with Muddy Paws Downtown.

Smartmouth beer will complement the night.

5:30 to 7 p.m. The Rhythm Project //

Hurrah Players’ Copeland Center, 112 W. Wilson Ave., Norfolk A community engagement program of the Virginia Arts Festival, the Rhythm Project is a percussion ensemble, with steel drums to bring a touch of the Caribbean to NEON inside the Hurrah Players’ new Copeland Center.

Sunday 7 to 11 a.m. Hunter at Sunrise Radio Remote Broadcast Brunch // Work | Release, 759 Granby St., Norfolk Radio personality Hunter Hughes will wake you up in the NEON as he broadcasts live from Work | Release with acoustic sessions. Brunch fare and mimosas will be flowing, along with great local music.

2 to 3 p.m. Who We Are Not // The Plot, 776 Granby St., Norfolk Winner of the 2015 VEER award for emerging artist, Who We Are Not will perform its eclectic songs on the Plot stage.

7 p.m. ViBe Story Exchange and Tell Me More … Live Storytelling Night // Push Comedy Theater, 763 Granby St., Norfolk ViBe Story Exchange and Tell Me More … Live team up for a storytelling night in the NEON District.

Home&Garden 5 simple tips to refresh ‘brown bag’ lunches From Brandpoint

You’re running out the door, already late and thinking about that important 8 a.m. meeting.

Lunch is the last thing on your mind. In fact, you usually just pick something up from the deli line or local fast food place and hurry back to your desk. Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

Only one in five people actually ditch their desks during their lunch hour. When you feel your stomach growl, it’s all too easy to grab something from the vending machine or – if you remember – to pack a cold turkey sandwich. But there are plenty of easy ways to spice up your lunchtime routine at work. Here are some tips to improve your mediocre midday meal:

Walk away from your desk.

Do you eat at your desk every day? You have a lunch break for a reason; so use it. You’re busy and need a few minutes to recharge throughout the day. You’ll come back refreshed and ready to be productive for the rest of the afternoon. Eating at your desk also means you’re probably multi-tasking, not paying attention to your food. Leaving your desk will help you become a more mindful eater and you’ll enjoy your meal more. Take a walk, socialize with coworkers, do something that gets you up and moving for at least 15 minutes.

Bake up a batch of healthy chips.

Step away from the snack machine. You don’t need those stale potato chips. You can bake your own with only six ingredients. Thickly slice two pounds of potatoes and coat them with olive oil and one tablespoon of salt. Season with cayenne and ground pepper. Arrange the slices on a greased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes until potatoes are crisp and golden brown. Then, spread them out on parchment paper, sprinkle with salt and enjoy. Pack a handful of chips in your lunch each day for more crunch and less guilt.

Stray from the PB and J. Peanut butter and jelly might be a staple, but it’s time for a grown-up work lunch. You can find sandwich fixings that are not only easy and quick, but take your lunch to the next level. Try a gourmet chicken salad like the no-mayo Avocado Chicken Salad from Willow Tree Farm. It’s a better-for-you option, saving you calories and fat, because it’s made with Aveyo, a spread simply containing Hass avocado, white vinegar, olive oil, sea salt and lime juice. It takes the place of eggs and most of the oil, while still maintaining that classic creamy texture and flavor.

Find a new way to pack your salad.

Forget about soggy, wilted lettuce. One of the best ways to pack a salad is in a quart-sized canning jar. Put your dressing on the bottom, add in your lettuce, veggies and any other salad toppings. If you really want to kick up your salad game, Willow Tree Farm’s new Sriracha Chicken Salad layers perfectly with leafy greens and adds a tasty spice to your salad. Everything stays separate until it’s time to toss together. Simply pour the salad out into a bowl and you’re ready to eat. Your salad will also last for a couple of days in the fridge, so you can make a few days’ worth of lunches ahead of time.

EASY TIPS FOR SMART SNACKING recipe

From Brandpoint

Prosciutto, Red Grape and Pecorino Flatbread Serves 8 as an appetizer

It’s hard to remember when the norm was three square meals a day, and snacks were relegated to nibbles at parties or as an after school bite to eat for kids. Today, whether young or old, snacks are a big part of our regular eating habits. In fact, a whopping 92 percent of us snack sometime during the day or evening, according to research by the Hartman Group. Even more surprising?

We’re no longer using snacks just once or twice a day to quell hunger between meals.

Snacks have moved into meal territory, and now make up half of all our eating occasions.

When it comes to smart snacking, the foods you choose – and how much you eat – matters. One of your best bets?

Fruit! Just 13 percent of Americans eat the 1 1/2 to 2 cups of fruit recommended each day, and snacks offer an opportunity to close that gap.

For the perfect pick, think fresh grapes from California.

At just 90 calories per 3/4 cup serving, their delicious, juicy taste hits the snacking sweet spot. Heart-healthy and hydrating, they’re a nutrition bargain compared to many processed snacks high in calories, fat and added sugar that tend to offer little health bang for the buck.

Plus, grapes are portable – ideal for munching anytime, anywhere. With grapes, there’s no fuss, no muss – and no peeling or coring required. Whether added to the lunch sack to help end the midday meal on a sweet note, or tucked in the briefcase or backpack at the ready for when hunger strikes, grapes are a super snack.

If late-night noshing is your nemesis, go with California grapes for a tasty, healthy and guilt-free option. And if the ice cream carton starts calling your name, opt for frozen grapes instead – they’re just like a mini-sorbet. Simply rinse grapes and pat them dry, then place them on a sheet pan and pop them into the freezer for two hours. Store any extras in the freezer to keep them at the ready for your next snack attack.

Fresh grapes are a delicious addition to heartier snack fare, too, adding color, crunch and a light touch of sweetness: -Make a fresh trail mix by combining grapes with cubes of cheese and a sprinkle of chocolate chips and nuts.

-Toss grapes into your favorite smoothie recipe.

-Spread celery stalks with peanut butter and place grapes on top to for a mix of crunch and sweetness.

-Put together snack sandwiches: smear a dab of cream cheese on top of graham crackers and top with halved grapes.

If game day requires a more adult-style snack – perhaps perfectly paired with a beer or glass of wine – try this scrumptious flatbread. You’ll love the combination of saltiness from the cheese and prosciutto balanced by the light sweetness of the grapes.

INGREDIENTS: 4 prepared 8-inch naan breads 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (divided) 3/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano (divided) 1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest 1/4 pound thinly sliced prosciutto 1 cup red California grapes, halved 1 cup arugula for garnish (optional) DIRECTIONS: Heat the oven to 500 F. Brush the naan breads with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and place on sheet pans. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the pecorino and the lemon zest, then drape the prosciutto over the top. Add the grapes, then sprinkle with the remaining pecorino. Bake until grapes blister, about 10 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, cut into wedges and serve.

Local fine arts institutions bridge technology, tradition

By Rashod Ollison The Virginian-Pilot

In June, the resident conductor of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra directed “The Music of Star Wars: The Symphony Strikes Back,” a sold-out show at the Ferguson Center for the Arts in Newport News. In a switch from previous concerts, Rous encouraged audience members to keep their cellphones on and become part of the show. The audience sent real-time reactions via Twitter, attaching the hashtag #VSOStarWars. Rous read tweets from the stage, took a selfie from his podium and tweeted it out, the better to share with the audience his perspective from the stage.

“We saw it as natural and positive and the way we exist in the world today,” Rous said.

“I can’t think of anyone that’s resisting that from the symphony, and certainly not me.

We were excited about it.”

Meanwhile, at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, its director, Erik Neil, has used social media not only to market new exhibits but also as a way to bring young people into the museum.

“Technology and social media are now as necessary as temperature control and proper lighting in a museum,” Neil said.

These are examples of how two of the biggest fine-arts institutions in the region are rethinking ways of bridging tradition with technology, and using social media in particular to reach and engage a new audience.

Fine arts have long demanded almost total attention or immersion. Classical music and paintings going back centuries are to be experienced, not just provide a distraction – so goes the traditional thinking. This may have intimidated people over the years from entering a museum or venerable con-

cert hall. But the social media age has allowed organizations to potentially reach an infinite number of people for next to nothing in cost.

Classical music has a long history of resisting technological progress. When legendary British conductor Leopold Stokowski directed the music for Disney’s “Fantasia,” the sweeping animated 1940 film, he was shunned by the classical community. The film was among the first released in stereophonic sound, and the music Stokowski conducted was recorded in multiple audio channels, technological innovations for the time.

“Leopold Stokowski was ridiculed and called dirty names and uninvited from conducting certain orchestras because he participated in ‘Fantasia,’” Rous said. “He was on screen shaking hands with Mickey Mouse, and this was pop art as opposed to the high brow art that symphonic music

Stephanie B. Theater Education. Navy.

was supposed to be.”

Times have changed. The incorporation of social media into fine arts has become necessary to reach the changing audience, particularly young people who never knew a world without internet connection.

“Because of the popularity of ‘Star Wars’ and it inspires participation, the easiest way to do that was to add Twitter and Facebook, especially Twitter,” Rous said. “It allowed us to combine the cultural knowledge with the live music. We wanted to tap into the collective wisdom of our audience.”

But Neil at the Chrysler said that social media outreach isn’t enough, that it may provide too much of a distraction.

“If they are looking at their screens the whole time, what’s the experience?” Neil said.

“We want to make it meaningful because we are an educational institution.”

The ubiquity of social media has brought new jobs to the Chrysler. Megan Frost moved from the Chrysler’s development department to the new position of digital engagement manager in July. She manages the Chrysler’s social media and decides which channels work best for the information the museum wants to deliver as different mediums appeal to different audiences.

Instagram, for instance, a photo and video sharing plat-

form, works for highlighting art and allows visitors to post their experiences at the museum. It’s most popular with women between ages 33 and 45, Frost said. The museum’s Facebook page skews slightly older. The Chrysler’s YouTube channel features intimate concerts at the museum’s glass studio, interviews with artists and instructional videos on such topics as basic glass blowing. Twitter serves as mostly a sounding board for visitors, where they leave feedback about exhibits that artists can see.

“It’s definitely experimentation, and it is changing all the time,” Frost said. “And that makes it fun.”

At the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, Rous said that the company is putting the finishing touches on an upcoming series, a collaboration with Tidewater Community College and the TCC Roper Performing Arts Center. Without revealing much detail, Rous said that the two institutions are developing ideas connected with music and interdisciplinary involvement. Four concerts will involve social media.

“What we’re hoping is that we’re creating a different experience for people who attend our concerts,” Rous said.

The “Star Wars” concert was a turning point for VSO. But Rous said he doesn’t believe that social media will distract

young people from engaging the music. It just broadens the experience.

“There were tons of young people at the ‘Star Wars’ show,” Rous said. “But, again, that had to do with what we offered artistically. Young people were more interested in that than responding to me on Twitter.”

For Rous, the new experience of directing an orchestra and using social media to engage the audience all at once opened up new possibilities for him.

“I’ve never whipped out my phone during a concert, except for the ‘Star Wars’ concert,” Rous said. “I think I’m going to do it now with more regularity because it’s a useful tool for me for figuring out what people are saying at the moment.

More importantly, I’m learning more about the ways that people are experiencing classical music. It’s a great education for me. It helps me be a better musician.”

UFC 203 Talking Points: Miocic, Punk and more

By Matt Parrino UFC.com

Quicken Loans Arena quaked as Stipe Miocic had to be pulled off Alistair Overeem following the ground and pound assault that gave way to another championship celebration in Cleveland.

It’s been one hell of a summer in “The Land.”

On a night filled with amazing finishes and crazy, outof-the-ordinary moments, Miocic delivered and retained his UFC title, allowing his city – one just getting over 52 years of miserable suffering without a title by any of its pro sports teams or athletes – to continue basking in championship euphoria.

Cleveland rocked Saturday night for Miocic and the champ returned the favor by bouncing Alistair Overeem’s head off the canvas to put an exclamation mark on an amazing fight week in OH-IO. Miocic was pumped to retain his title but he may have been equally stoked to pass the baton to his favorite football team that is set to kick off the NFL season.

“Cleveland people are crazy. That’s why I live here,” Miocic said. “That’s how we do it; we don’t mess around.

Wait until next weekend when I go tailgating at the Browns game. There’s going to be a lot more fights. I’m not going to be in any of them but I’m going to watch them.

These are the UFC 203 Talking Points:

CM Punk loses and wins in debut On the night of CM Punk’s UFC debut, the infamous audience sign that read “If Punk loses we riot” – back in 2011 when he took on John Cena for the WWE title in his hometown of Chicago – came to mind.

But that didn’t seem to be the feeling at Quicken Loans Arena Saturday night. Not for Punk, anyway.

Miocic had the market cornered on hometown heroics, but Phil Brooks, the ultra-entertaining former professional wrestler, delivered. Punk’s entrance and the show he brought with him to the Octagon was truly riveting.

When his music hit – the Living Colour classic “Cult of Personality” – the place exploded.

When the fight started, things didn’t go his way. But CM Punk gave it his best shot, and to knock a guy who wanted to try something seems like a bigger loss than the submission defeat Punk suffered at UFC 203.

“I know there’re a lot of doubters but life is about falling down and getting back up,” Punk said. “So if there’s a kid out there that’s told by a parent, a coach or teacher – somebody that they look up to; somebody that’s supposed to believe in them – tell them no.

“Don’t listen to them. Believe in yourself. Sometimes the outcome isn’t always what you desire it to be. But the true failure in life is not trying at all.”

Heavyweight picture scrambled beyond Stipe Miocic plans on holding his UFC title for a long time, and after dispatching of the legendary Overeem it’s hard to argue with him.

After the champ, at the top things get a little murky.

Fabricio Werdum took out Travis Browne in a less-thanthrilling co-main event. UFC president Dana White didn’t love the fight, meaning Werdum could be another big win away from a title shot.

Waiting in the wings is former champion Can Velasquez, who may make the most sense as next No. 1 contender following his dismantling of Browne at UFC 200.

But whoever is next may have to wait awhile. Miocic plans to take a few months to honeymoon with his wife before taking his next fight.

Gall shows superstar potential in win It was certainly a fine performance by Mickey Gall in his dominant disposal of CM Punk in his second UFC fight.

The young gun, as he so adequately put it, took full advantage of his moment in the spotlight. Gall called out Sage Northcutt in an epic post-fight interview.

The talented Gall showed his skills in the Octagon and on the mic on Saturday night. He also proved that he may be more than a sideshow act – a fighter with real potential who is ready to start taking on the killers of the UFC.

Andrade sends thunderous message to strawweight division Nicknamed “pile driver,” Jessica Andrade lived up to the moniker with a savage slam of Joanne Calderwood. Andrade overpowered the Scottish superstar before locking in a guillotine choke to finish her secondstraight fight at strawweight after her move down from 135 pounds.

Before UFC 203, Andrade was hailed as a serious contender in a division constantly looking for new challengers for dominant champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.

After the event it’s clear that the Brazilian is coming for that title and she stated her case for why she should get it sooner than later.

At 115 pounds Andrade has a strength advantage against almost anyone she faces in the division. Her wrestling and ground work combined with excellent hand speed and power on the feet make her a dangerous threat to Jedrzejczyk. But the question is when she finally does face the Polish sensation whether or not her gas tank will hold up against the proven marathon fighter Jedrzejczyk.

Andrade is ready for whatever comes next.

“I just want to stay focused and keep training right now,” Andrade said. “If the UFC wants me to fight in Brazil, Japan or wherever tomorrow, I would. If they give me the title shot I’m ready for that too.”

HAMLIN WINS AT RICHMOND; FIELD IS SET FOR THE CHASE

By Rick Minter Universal Uclick

Denny Hamlin scored a home-state win last Saturday night in the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway, and behind him, four drivers locked up the remaining berths in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, which begins this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway.

Hamlin started on the pole and was rarely far from the lead. He led seven times for 189 laps, including the final 86, to get his third win of the season and the 29th of his career. Finishing behind him were Kyle Larson, Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick.

Among those securing Chase berths at Richmond was Chris Buescher, who won at Pocono Raceway on Aug. 1 but needed to be among the top 30 in the driver standings after Richmond. He finished 24th at Richmond and ended the regular season with points to spare.

Also locking down Chase spots by way of their positions in the standings were Chase Elliott, Austin Dillon and Jamie McMurray, who were winless in the first 26 races but high enough in the driver standings to join the elite 16 as the 10-race, championship-deciding Chase gets underway.

Hamlin appeared to have the win in hand in the closing stages of the 400 until the 16th and final caution flag set up an overtime run to the checkered flag.

That late flag, and a couple just before it, gave some of Hamlin’s challengers, including Kyle Larson, a chance to put on fresh rubber and gain significant speed.

“I was literally counting the seconds down knowing I needed 20 more seconds, 15 more seconds until ... just get to the white [flag], I was going to be fine,” Hamlin said.

“I saw smoke up ahead, knew there was an issue.”

He said he thought his crew chief, Mike Wheeler, would bring him to pit road, but that didn’t happen, as Wheeler correctly guessed that there would be enough drivers staying on the track behind Hamlin to create a buffer between him and the challengers on fresher tires.

“I’ve really never seen old tires win a race in a greenwhite-checkered,” Hamlin said. “But it was just enough, because, obviously, Larson got all the way to second. It would have definitely hurt to let it slip away on the last restart.”

Now Hamlin heads into the

Chase with three extra points due to his latest win and the momentum that comes with winning the regular-season finale.

Hamlin also expects that the kind of driving that led to 16 cautions and some hot tempers at Richmond will subside, at least for a time.

“I think things get a little bit tamer in the Chase, because people are aware of the Chase cars,” he said. “Whether they say so or not, they definitely race a little bit more careful around those guys, especially when you’re not racing for a win. I think as guys get eliminated, it could definitely ramp back up again.”

One of the bigger stories at Richmond, as Hamlin mentioned, involved the drivers who came up short in their bids to make the Chase field.

Rookie Ryan Blaney, who was among the top 16 in the standings for much of the season, came into Richmond needing a win to advance to the Chase. But he crashed just 12 laps into the race after contact with Trevor Bayne.

Likewise, Ryan Newman had been among the elite group until the past few weeks. His bid for the Chase ended with a crash involving his former team owner and teammate, Tony Stewart.

Newman, obviously irri-

tated with Stewart, described him in a televised interview as unable to control his temper.

“Google Tony Stewart; you’ll see all kinds of things he’s done,” Newman said.

“Look it up. YouTube and everything else. Quite the guy.”

Newman said Stewart cut across in front of him to start the accident that ended his bid for a Chase berth.

“The next thing I know, he is driving across my nose on the back straightaway, because he’s Tony Stewart and he thinks he owns everything,” he said.

Stewart blamed Newman, saying the pressure of trying to make the Chase got to him.
