MyNavy Family app update focuses on improved services By Cmdr. Erik Wells

Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) Public Affairs

ARLINGTON, VA.

The Navy continues to focus on families with the latest update of the MyNavy Family app. First released in May, the free app has been downloaded over ten thousand times. “The app has done exactly what we intended which is to both inform families and encourage them to continue to provide feedback to improve the app,” said Amanda Burns, the MyNavy Family app

product owner. The May release included 12 main content areas, Navy Spouse 101 Information, links to Naval Services FamilyLine website and other pertinent websites. Based on feedback from the initial release, the app was updated in June to include links for Spouse Licensure Reimbursement, Blue Star Families and Navy Gold Star Program. This month, the app underwent several improvements to include a new search feature on the “Welcome Screen” and three additional content areas. There

is now sections on family financial planning, survivor’s resources, and parents and family members of Sailors. “Whether a spouse or family member is new to the Navy or they have been part of our family for ten years, it can be difficult to know where to turn for support,” said Perry Christiansen, lead policy analyst with the Family Readiness Program Office. “This app allows our Sailors and families to quickly find information and resources to let them navigate to find the information they need.” Additional links were added that help Sailors and their families during a permanent change of station move including a link to the Navy Lodge which offers safe, clean and affordable accommodations at 39 locations worldwide.

From its inception, the app was built to provide an interactive user experience that contains relevant and timely information. “All of the apps we develop are updated on a regular basis to provide accurate information that Sailors and their families can rely on,” said David Driegert, assistant program manager for the Sea Warrior Program (PMW 240) mobility program which developed the app. “The MyNavy Family app is a good example of how we work as an integrated agile team to quickly respond to suggested improvements and implement them to benefit Sailors and their families.” The app is located in the Navy App Locker along with 23 other apps that focus on everything from fitness and training to education and life skills.

Jason Edwards Staff members from Brooke Army Medical Center’s Trauma Clinic provide Stop the Bleed training to San Antonio Police Department members at the SAPD headquarters, San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 29, 2019. The training consisted of a presentation where attendees learned the “ABCs of Bleeding Control” along with some hands-on practice in applying tourniquets, packing wounds and applying direct pressure to stop bleeding.

NNSY LAUNCHES STOP THE BLEED TRAINING By Kristi Britt

Norfolk Naval Shipyard Public Affairs

PORTSMOUTH, VA.

Imagine this scenario: you’re on the way to work and suddenly you feel a jolt. CRASH! A vehicle accident just occurred. You assess the situation and make eye contact with the driver who collided with you. They’re bleeding from the head and drifting from consciousness. What would you do? This situation, and similar instances like it, happens daily around the world. It could be traffic accidents, injury during inclement weather, even an active shooter scenario. Someone is suffering from a bleeding wound and time is running out to treat it. Unfortunately, there are many who are unsure how to respond in that moment. According to the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, bleeding is the number one cause of preventable

death in the world. Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s (NNSY) Fire Marshal (Code 1128) Shane Byrne wants to change that. “We never want these sorts of events to happen; however, we want to ensure our employees have the tools they need and the training available so if it ever does happen, they will be prepared,” said Byrne. With Byrne and his team, as well as the support of emergency response in the area and the Central Virginia Coalition, NNSY is taking the steps to bring Stop the Bleed training to America’s Shipyard. Launched in 2015, this national awareness campaign and call to action provides those with the ability to recognize lifethreatening bleeding in someone who is injured and effectively assist that person in saving a life. Those trained in Stop the Bleed are able to become an integral part of the trauma care chain of survival, their im-

assistance and what procedures to follow. “This is an important initiative for our team, since many of us have worked as emergency responders and have seen these events firsthand,” said Byrne. “Being able to train the public in how to reach in an emergency situation could truly turn the tide for someone. It all depends on what you know and how you react. With Stop the Bleed, we’re able to give everyone the tools they need to react appropriately.” In addition to the Stop the Bleed training, NNSY is working on purchasing Stop the Bleed kits that will be distributed across the shipyard at the various automated external defibrillator (AED) locations. The kits include first aid response tools, including Quick Clot and tourniquets. “NNSY is leading the charge for this training to be offered in the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) enterprise,” said Byrne. “We are not only bringing the training to the shipyard, we’re also providing the skills necessary for those here to also become train-the-trainers as well. So we can effectively continue the Stop the Bleed initiative to our shipyard family and beyond.”

Shane Byrne mediate reaction possibly the difference between life and death for those in a traumatic event. This hands-on training provides the employee a chance to utilize the tools necessary in bleeding control, including QuikClot and various types of tourniquets. In addition, it also provides the employee an understanding of when it’s safe to provide

U.S. Navy photo Dam Neck Annex Galley at the Dunes staff pose for a photo Nov. 20 during an early Thanksgiving celebration meal.

’Tis the Season to be Thankful: Celebrating Thanksgiving at Dam Neck Annex Naval Air Station Oceana Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

“Spicing up the menu” is U.S. Navy Thanksgiving tradition according to Naval Air Station Oceana Dam Neck Annex culinary specialists, who delivered an interesting menu to galley guests. “I came for the Pho,” said Sue Guilbault,

Naval Air Station Oceana executive assistant, who dined at Dam Neck Annex Galley at the Dunes during a Nov. 20 Thanksgiving Celebration. “Pho at a Thanksgiving celebration is interesting.” Galley staff served traditional Thanksgiving food, along with prime rib and Pho, during the celebration to approximately 600 Sailors, Marines, and Department of De-

fense civilian employees. “Sailors who don’t have families living here and can’t go home for the holidays are able to come to the galley and have a good meal,” said Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Traijuan Wallace, a native of Brooklyn, New York. “It feels good to see smiles on everyone’s faces.” According to Wallace, there have been a

tradition of interesting things on Navy menus. In 1917, U.S. Navy Sailors ate Mayonnaise Salad aboard the USS Arizona (BB 39), and Sailors dined on Baked Spiced Spam a la Capitaine de Vaisseau aboard USS Augusta (CA 31) in 1942. He prefers to prepare his favorite dish of Mac & Cheese for guests. Similarly, Culinary Specialist 2nd Class Brianna Moore, a native of Macon, Georgia, likes to prepare and serve Sweet Potato Pie. “I feel amazing when we gather, as a team, and prepare a delicious meal for everyone,” said Moore. “People were very happy and in good spirits today."

Holiday shopping safety tips From Navy Region Mid-Atlantic NORFOLK

Fall is here and winter is quickly approaching. As the seasons change we have the opportunity to celebrate many holidays. However we must remember the blistering weather patterns are the not only safety hazards we face at this time. For many people taking advantage shopping deals is an absolute must. Here are a few tips to keep you safe during your holiday shopping experience.

ONSITE SHOPPING SAFETY TIPS  Dress appropriately for the weather.  Winterize you home and vehicle.  Be aware of your surroundings…even when you are in the store itself. You should also keep a watchful eye when you are walking from the cash register to your car to load up your big buy. If you are alone, ask someone from the store to walk with you to your car to ensure your safety.  Don’t leave your personal items unattended, keep a close eye on any children with you and never carry too many items at once.  If you are shopping with children, regardless of their age, be sure they have your cell and/or home phone number memorized in case you are separated. You should also plan a central place to meet in the event that you are separated.  Pack a bottle of water and some light snacks for your shopping trip. This will help prevent you from experiencing any dehydration or extreme fatigue  If you want to ensure that your credit cards are protected from any data breaches during this time, you should consider using a money order or a one-time use credit/debit/gift card. For safety reasons, you should avoid bringing just cash with you for these purchases.

CYBER MONDAY SAFETY TIPS  Do not click on a Cyber Monday email if you do not know the sender’s email. This is by far one of the oldest and most successful ways that online scammers get information online from strangers. If you are signed up for your favorite brand’s email list, you are familiar with what their email address looks like – because they value your security, they will not be changing it for Cyber Monday!  Use a credit card for your online purchases versus other payment methods. Almost all credit cards have fraud protection, meaning if there is a data breach and your card’s information is taken, you won’t be held responsible for any of the charges. If you are involved in a fraud situation, your credit card provider will handle this and send you a new credit card. The same courtesies may not be extended from other online payment methods like an electronic transfer from your bank account.  Look for secure websites and checkouts. A secure website will have https:// in the URL. The “s” in http is what lets you know the site is secure. While sites that don’t have this can be safe, it offers an extra layer of protection to online shoppers. Let the shopping begin!

Navy Exchange Service Command Dash, the NEX holiday mascot, oversees preparations for NEX Oceana, Va.’s, “We Believe” Navy Blue Holiday weekend. NEX locations worldwide will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28. The Navy Exchange Service Command is comprised of 14,000 personnel worldwide facilitating six business lines, NEX retail stores, the Navy Lodge Program, Telecommunications Program, Navy Clothing and Textile Research Facility, Ships Store Program and the Uniform Program Management Office.

The NEX believes, closed on Thanksgiving By Kristine Sturkie

Navy Exchange Service Command Public Affairs

VIRGINIA BEACH

Throughout the holiday season, “We Believe” remains the underlying theme for the Navy Exchange (NEX). The theme sets the tone for the command and its worldwide presence all year long, but in particular during the holidays. In the spirit of “We Believe,” all NEX stores will be closed during the entirety of Thanksgiving Day. The NEX remains focused on fam-

ily and giving. At the heart of its mission is to provide a sense of home and support the Sailor and their loved ones throughout every step of their Navy journey. During the holidays, the NEX touts the phrases, “We Believe in Thanks” and “We Believe in Giving” to remind customers and associates of their purpose and desire. “It’s quite the Navy web we weave here at the Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM)— tradition and Navy pride runs deep, in fact

around half of our 14,000 associates have some military affiliation,” said Allison Mercer, Manager of Marketing Strategy and Communications, NEXCOM. “My husband is active duty Navy, on deployment and won’t be home for the holidays. I continue to be eternally grateful for this NEXCOM family and allowing us to be with loved ones on Thanksgiving Day to enjoy some laughs and eat some good ol’ turkey and stuffing that I just picked up from the commissary.” As in the past, NEX locations worldwide will be closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 28, so customers as well as NEX associates can spend the day with loved ones. Most NEX stores will open at 5:00 a.m. on Nov. 29.

Naval Medical Center Portsmouth staff members joined together to host the Great American Smoke Out Day Health Fair. NMCP staff assigned to the Health Promotion and Wellness Clinic and Sailors assigned to Navy Environmental Preventive Medicine Unit (NEPMU) 2 presented materials to NMCP staff and patients during the fair. Presentations included a general wellness display with an anti-tobacco message and materials; nutritional information that explained the harms of diets high in sugar, fat and cholesterol; and mental health brochures and information. “We’re here to get the word out about the

NAVSEA welcomes the next generation of leaders By Kristi Britt

Norfolk Naval Shipyard Public Affairs

PORTSMOUTH, VA.

Two developing leaders from Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) and the Naval Foundry and Propeller Center (NFPC) were honored with their selection into the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) Next Generation (NextGen) Leadership Program. “The NextGen Program is the first of three leadership programs in our corporation which allow people to continue to grow professionally,” said Nuclear Engineering and Planning Manager Curt Hart. “Participants get to experience leadership concepts through reading, exercises, mentoring, and shadowing leaders at their activity. In addition, they also get to participate in activities that spur innovation across NAVSEA.”

Among those selected for Cadre III were NNSY Waterfront Engineer Jake McGeehan and NFPC Administrative Assistant Shelia Stokes, each bringing their own wealth of experience to the command as well as their own goals for the future. “I have 20 years of experience in project management, training and development, and accounting,” said Stokes. “I’ve had such a positive experience at NFPC and would love to continue to provide the same experience to others as a leader. I see so much potential and growth within my department. What better way to serve the department and the command than to start from the bottom, learn the ins-and-outs of every area, and grow within so that I can continue to do what I love, which is leading, mentoring, training, and development. This program will give me

GASO is an annual health event sponsored by the American Cancer Society, every third Thursday of November, to spread awareness of the harms of tobacco products and to encourage tobacco users to quit, taking an important step toward a healthier life.

“We want to promote wellness,” said Joe Burmeister, Health Promotion and Wellness. “It is important to be able to discuss the risks of using tobacco products. Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women worldwide.”

the tools and a pathway to grow over time and become a good leader for the organization.” Stokes continued, “This leadership program will help me learn more about others and myself. We are all leaders in some shape or form and this program will allow me to determine better ways and ideas of becoming a more effective leader. I will also have the opportunity to learn more about other styles of management and the areas NAVSEA supports. I recently finished Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training and intend to incorporate that with the training I receive from the NextGen Program to develop my coaching skills, project management skills, and streamline processes for more efficient production practices within NAVSEA.” McGeehan graduated in May 2018 from Penn State University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, before moving to Norfolk to begin his career at NNSY. “When I became part of Code 267, I was immediately taken in by many code members to be mentored and trained on the many ship sys-

tems we were responsible for,” he said. “When I first heard about this program, I was curious to find out more. I spoke with a former code member who had participated in the Journey Level Leadership Program (the program a step above the NextGen Program) and he shared how great his experience had been in the program and highly recommended it. I knew that this program would give me a different opportunity to see how we as a shipyard operate and better my understanding of why we do what we do everyday.” McGeehan continued, “What I am looking forward to the most with the NextGen Program is the opportunity to connect and network with NAVSEA employees from different locations and jobs around the country and gain insights from their different perspectives. This program will allow me to expand my knowledge of why we do what we do here at NNSY, but I am also looking forward to learning about all the different things NAVSEA does to support the Navy’s mission.”

NAVSTA celebrates Native American Heritage Month By DC3 Ashley Vahos

Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs

NORFOLK

On Nov. 21, Naval Station (NAVSTA) Norfolk personnel came together to celebrate and honor National American Indian Heritage Month at NAVSTA Norfolk Crew Galley. The United States Navy celebrates the achievements of American Indians and Alaska Natives throughout the month of November, honoring the central role their heritage played in our nation’s history. The theme for the month this year is “Honoring our Nations: Building Strength through Understanding.” “American Indians and Alaska Natives serve in all branches of the military, and have made countless contributions to our military,” stated NAVSTA Norfolk Command Master Chief Benjamin Rushing. Today more than 22,000 American Indians and Alaska Natives are serving in the U.S. military, and over 160,000 currently call themselves veterans. A recent example is Master Chief (MCPO) James D. Fairbanks, a Chippewa from Northern Minnesota. He served in the Marine Corps and in the Navy as a Seabee. In 2005, Fairbanks was selected

it is imperative that we reflect on and thank these service members for their service and sacrifice. The celebration also highlighted the Native American attire known as the regalia and different ceremonies performed by Native Americas. On display

were pieces of baskets, jewelry, moccasins, herbs, roots and dresses. The event was brought to a close with traditional fried bread, jam and a cake cutting ceremony performed by Rushing and Seaman Andrenay Gorham of Naval Station Norfolk Public Affairs.

SAIGE winner shares knowledge of American Indians with Dam Neck team From Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Public Affairs VIRGINIA BEACH

Sailors, Department of the Navy civilian employees, and contractors assigned to Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division – Dam Neck Activity (NSWCDD DNA) celebrated National American Indian Heritage Month with a ceremony, Nov. 12, in Hopper Hall Auditorium. NSWCDD DNA Chief of Staff Eric LaCross opened the command’s ceremony by introducing Joseph Rubye – the observance’s guest speaker. Rubye – a retired Navy chief petty officer and member of the Jicarilla Apache aka Tinde nation – was the Society of American Indian Government Employees (SAIGE) Meritorious Service Award winner in 2013 for enriching the community as well as military and civilian command personnel with his knowledge of American Indian information. A native of El Paso, Texas, Rubye left home after graduating high school in 1982 to begin his new life in the Navy. After many colorful tours, Rubye reported to the USS Saipan (LHA-2) homeported in Norfolk, Va., (1991-1994). It was during this tour that he conducted numerous American Indian Pow Wow drum presentations with Eastern Sky (Ojibway) drum group, attending numerous pow wows both in Virginia and North Carolina. He informed his audience about various Indian nations like the Mattaponi, Apache, Lumbee, Haliwa-Saponi, Isleta Pueblo, Cherokee, and Chickahominy Nation. Rubye constantly returned to the influence his grandmother had on him, telling those in attendance that the women dominated the American Indian family. He cited an example of a man changing his name to whatever his wife wanted it to be. Rubye explained his attire from the medallion around his neck to his bracelet and beaded-moccasins, always relating to his grandmother and the stories she shared with him throughout his youth. He then shared a bit of history about how American Indians, per population, provided more of their own to America’s military services than any other group in our nation’s history. He refocused his thoughts to Sept. 11, 2001 when he was assigned to the USS Whidbey Island (LSD-41). His ship was the ready Amphibious Ready Group vessel for deployment over-

seas. While deployed, Rubye brought his pow wow drum called “Four Itsa Feather” (Itsa=Eagle) and taught Sailors and Marines pow wow songs which they sang in the field. The commanding officer of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit and the senior enlisted Marines, presented Chief Ruybe an Honorary Gunny certificate for his administration and logistics support, a title he is proud to claim. Rubye invited four members of the audience to come forward and join him in an honor song. After several practice drumbeats on his pow wow drum “Four Itsa Feather” and a detailed explanation of the artwork on the drum, the members played to a rhythmic beat while Rubye sang a song. Before he began his question and answer period, he delighted the audience with a flute song, which completed his teaching and involvement of National American Indian Heritage Month presentation. A civilian employee with the U.S. Coast Guard Finance Center, Rubye emphasized how proud he is to serve his community with presentations such as the one for NSWCDD DNA’s team members and bring awareness of American Indian culture and diversity to everyone. “I’m proud the Nation’s people participated with our many military services,” said Rubye, “and I especially appreciate today’s host NSWC Dahlgren Division Dam Neck Activity team members. You were a great audience and I thank you for inviting me to share my culture with each of you.” NOTE: Every year in November, the President issues a proclamation recognizing National American Indian Heritage Month during which we learn about the challenges they faced and their vital contributions to the American story. Celebrations of native cultures and educating the public about their heritage, history, art, and traditions will continue throughout the month of November. This year’s theme, provided by the Society of American Indian Government Employees (SAIGE), is “Honoring our Nations: Building Strength Trough Understanding.” It consists of 573 federally recognized tribal nations listed throughout the entire poster. The superimposed eagle is the focal point of the poster because it is revered and considered sacred in many American Indian and Alaskan Native traditions, culture, and religion. Additionally, the eagle represents truth, courage, wisdom, power, and freedom.

Naval Information Forces, Navy Cyber Defense Operations Command (NCDOC), and Naval Network Warfare Command Diversity Committee hosted a National Native American and Alaska Native Heritage Month celebration in the Hall of Heroes Auditorium on Nov. 13. NCDOC Commanding Officer, Captain Harold Cole welcomed the guests and recognized the central role Native American and Alaska Native people have had in the U.S. Navy’s history. “The theme of this celebration is Honoring our Nations: Building Strength through Understanding. Today we recognize Native Americans and Alaska Natives for having served with valor in our nation’s conflicts and for their many distinct and important contributions to the United States,” said Cole. “It is through events like this that we build understanding of their culture and strengthen our bonds as people with different backgrounds but common goals for ourselves and our families. Native Americans may be citizens of their sovereign Native American nations, but they are also U.S. citizens and they do not waiver in their support to our nation. They have distinguished themselves in the service of our nation and they continue to serve at higher percentages than any other ethnic group. Currently, more than 9,000 Sailors and 2,000 civilians of Native Americans and Alaska Natives serve in the U.S. Navy. They are our neighbors, they are our friends, and they are our shipmates.” Cole introduced Chief Cryptologic Technician Networks Jestin Lowery as the guest speaker. “Chief Lowery is a native of North Carolina and a 13-year Navy veteran. He is a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, recognized in 1885 by the state of North Carolina. He started in the Navy as an operations specialist before cross-rating to cryptologic technician networks. He became a Chief Petty Officer in 2015, and currently serves as NCDOC’s N7 Leading Chief Petty Officer.” Lowery shared his experiences of growing up as a Native American and how proud he is to represent his tribe. “Speaking about my people and bringing knowledge about my tribe is and will always be a great honor. I am a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. At approximately 60,000 members, we are the largest tribe east of the Mississippi River,” said Lowery. “We take pride in who we are because being from where we are from, there isn’t a lot of things to take pride in. It wasn’t until I joined the U.S. Navy that I realized I was raised in poverty. Robeson County has the highest poverty rate in North Carolina, with 32 percent of its population living below the poverty line. We don’t have much, but what we do have, we take great pride in.” Lowery concluded, “When I am asked what drives my success, it is family. Not just my immediate family, but my people. I take great pride in representing my people in the military, and I also take great pride in showing my people how the military has given me so much. Remember that no matter where you come from or how poor you grew up, if you work hard to be a better person, set goals, and push yourself to grow and be better every day, good things will happen.” National Native American and Alaska Native Heritage Month is a time for the United States military to honor both fallen and active duty Native Americans and Alaska Natives who served in the armed forces.

Holiday Decor of Yore By Lisa Smith Molinari

I can’t remember that my reading glasses are perched on my head, where I parked my car at the commissary, or where I left my cup of coffee, but I have many vivid recollections of my childhood. Especially of the holidays, when I stored detailed memories of the sights, sounds, and aromas of the season, deep in the recesses of my brain. As I conjure those imprints from decades ago, I can still sense the belly-tingling excitement I felt when December came and our Christmas decorations went up. Big, mustysmelling cardboard boxes would appear in our garage. Then, my father would spend the afternoon unraveling tangled outdoor light cords, trying to find which C9 screw-in bulb was causing the whole string to stay unlit, hanging lights in our painfully prickly Blue Spruces, and cussing. I definitely remember the cussing. Inside, my mother retrieved boxes from the basement, and set about decorating the inside of our house. With a Christmas record on the

turntable for motivation, my mother adorned every room with holiday decor, singing along with Johnny Mathis, Burl Ives, Andy Williams, and the Carpenters. She also had a record of a big city choir’s rendition of Handel’s “Messiah,” but she saved that one for baking cookies. By the time my parents’ were finished, our otherwise unremarkable 1950s brick ranch was a veritable wonderland, each room glimmering warmly with all things red, green and gold — and our frozen yard glowing colorfully with those fat C9 bulbs. Now that I’m married with my own family home, I find that history has repeated itself. As soon as we polish off the leftover turkey, I’m in the basement, rooting for Christmas decor, bouncing along to holiday songs from George Michael, Mariah Carey, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen and Jose Feliciano. Just like my mother, I put a little something in every room, and save Handel’s “Messiah” for baking day. However, something about my festively bedecked house is vastly different from that of my childhood — the very decorations themselves. Our advanced 21st Century generation has everything one might need to safely adorn one’s home with holiday cheer — LED lighting that won’t scorch skin or spark a house fire, solar-powered giant candy canes to line sidewalks, battery-operated animated reindeer, compressed-air-filled-plastic snow globes for the yard, shatterproof plastic ornaments for the tree, flameless candles, Christmas laser light shows that project onto the side of the house, unbreakable resin nativity figurines, and a vast array of remote-con-

trolled pre-lit artificial trees. My memories of childhood do not include these technological advancements in holiday decor. In fact, many of my parents’ most cherished decorations were made of breakable glass, lit with real flames, pulsed with 120 volts of electricity, or were hand-crafted with yarn, dough, felt, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, safety pins, beads, and googly eyes. No matter how tacky they might seem today, we loved the little cylindrical Santas made of felt-covered toilet paper rolls that sat on window sills. Even though I once got shocked when I stuck my finger into the live light socket of one of our window sill candolier, its charming glow couldn’t be matched. Dentists wouldn’t approve of the nightly Tootsie Rolls tied with yarn to the fabric advent calendar on my bedroom door. Our home-sewn stockings of 1960s avocado and gold calico, would be stuffed with treats, trinkets, and of course, Avon bottles. And even if they could have burned our house to the ground, the real candles my mother lit all over the house, gave off a magical, old-world flicker. As I decorate my house this week, I will think fondly of those decorations of yore. Like my friend’s Styrofoam egg-carton Christmas tree that I made the mistake of poking fun at when I was a teenager. In a playful act of revenge, her parents wrapped it up and gave it to me as a wedding present ten years later. While I can’t honestly say I was heartbroken when the tree got crushed during one of our military moves, I’ll always long for the simple, home-spun holiday nostalgia that it represented. www.themeatandpotatoesoflife.com

DoD adds fentanyl to drug testing panel By Staff Sgt. Nicole Leidholm Armed Forces Medical Examiner System

DOVER AIR FORCE BASE, DEL.

The Department of Defense implemented new policy in March 2019 to direct all service Drug Demand Reduction Program labs to test for fentanyl and norfentanyl. The DoD has a zero tolerance policy for the illegal or improper use of drugs by service members. Because of this, all U.S. service members are subject to random urinalysis testing. When trends start to be seen in society, the DoD looks at the potency and lethality of the drug, before being considered for additional testing on the panel, said U.S. Navy Capt. Eric R. Welsh, Office of Drug Demand Reduction director. Fentanyl is an opioid, similar to heroin. It is 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine. “Fentanyl and its metabolite, norfentanyl, have garnered national attention lately because of fentanyl’s growing popularity and potential lethality,” said U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Katherine Dozier, Armed Forces Medical Examiner System Special Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory chief. “This, combined with the emergence of fentanyl and norfentanyl in SFTDTL’s DoD surveillance testing, led the Office of Drug Demand Reduction to petition for fentanyl’s addition to the standard DDRP drug testing panel.” The five service branch DDRPs and the AFMES SFTDTL began fentanyl screening in June 2019.

“Very small quantities of fentanyl can have significant effects,” said Dozier. “The illicit drug trade is aware of this, and has used fentanyl to cheaply adulterate heroin, cocaine, and other illicit drugs to enhance effects.” The SFDTL at AFMES provides surveillance testing for the DoD, as well as civilian populations through approved collaborations. “The SFDTL determines current drug trends and confirmation testing for the five service DDRP labs,” said Dozier. “We confirm fentanyl and its metabolite, norfentanyl, as well as synthetic cannabinoids, commonly called Spice or K2.” According to the National Institute of Drug Abuse, Spice and K2 are often called marijuana or “fake weed” because some of its chemicals are like those in marijuana, however, the effects can be unpredictable and in some cases, severe or even life-threatening. “Robust, frequent and random drug testing of our personnel is one of our greatest weapons against drug use,” said Welsh. “Even though the Department tests for more drugs than ever before, the positive rate was the lowest observed in 20 years at 0.84 percent.” According to DoD instruction 1010.16, drug testing is used to permit commanders to assess the security, military fitness, readiness, good order and discipline of their commands and allow commanders to take disciplinary or administrative action as appropriate. “Illicit drug use by service members is a national security threat and a health and safety concern,” said Dozier. “Many of these drugs

have been shown to affect decision-making, risk-taking, and levels of consciousness. For the well-being of every service member and every U.S. citizen they defend, illicit drug use in the military must be taken seriously.” When a service member is asked to submit a urine sample for testing, it is done at their location’s DDRP. The sample is then shipped to the one of the five service branch FTDTLs, where it is tested via immunoassay, the same scientific technique used in pregnancy tests that allows for an answer of either negative or presumptive positive. “If a specimen tests presumptively positive on the immunoassay for synthetic cannabinoids or fentanyl, it is sent to SFTDTL for confirmation,” said Dozier. “We confirm these specimens using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry.” The spectrometer is able to positively identify and measure the amount of fentanyl or norfentanyl in urine specimens, which leads to a positive result reported. “If there is a positive result for a prescription drug, such as fentanyl, the result will be forwarded to the medical review officer to determine if the use of the prescription is legitimate,” said Pamela Iseminger, 436th Air Wing DDRP manager. “If there is no medical documentation in the members file to substantiate the positive test, the unit commander will meet with the member to provide written notice of the positive result.” Then, the member is provided 30 calendar days to produce any medical records or other documentation which may justify the positive result, said Iseminger. “The DDRP directly impacts mission readiness,” said Iseminger. “It acts as the focal point for installation level drug urinalysis testing and drug prevention programs and ensures a work place free of illicit drugs use and provides a mission-ready fighting force at all times.”

NAVY MEDICINE TEAMS RETURN FROM USNS COMFORT DEPLOYMENT From U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery Public Affairs

NORFOLK

The U.S. Navy hospital ship USNS Comfort (T-AH 20) returned to its homeport of Norfolk, Virginia on Friday, November 15 after five months underway providing medical assistance in 12 partner nations across South and Central America and the Caribbean.

More than 600 Navy Medicine professionals embarked to bring the hospital ship platform to its full operational capacity for the deployment. The teams included specialties ranging from preventative medicine and basic medical treatment all the way to medical, optical and dental surgical teams. In addition to being able to help more than 65,000 patients in the 12 nations visited, the deployment offered an opportunity to work with partner nation health ministries as well

as additional medical personnel on board the ship from the Army, Air Force, partner nations and non-governmental organizations. “As a maritime nation engaged in a global power competition, your unique expeditionary medical expertise and exceptional efforts opened doors and built partnerships that enhanced Readiness through Global Health Engagement,” said Rear Adm. Bruce Gillingham, U.S. Navy Surgeon General, in a message to the returning teams. “I can think

of no finer example of a unit that brought Navy Medicine’s priorities into action: Welltrained People, working as cohesive teams on optimized Platforms, demonstrating high velocity Performance that will project Medical Power in support of Maritime Superiority.” The mission also ensured the readiness of Navy Medicine personnel to perform at a high level while deployed and the hospital ship as a platform to support military personnel medical needs and survivability, should the ship ever be called on to support combat operations. During the deployment, USNS Comfort conducted mission stops in Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Panama, Peru, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago.

HSC-22 TEAMS WITH KANAS CITY COLLEGE, SPEAKS WITH AVIATION STUDENTS By MC3 Samantha Jenkins

Commander, Naval Air Force Atlantic Public Affairs

NORFOLK

A tablet, an intermittent cellphone hotspot and an active military aircraft hangar – just another day for Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 22 and the U.S. Navy’s dedicated outreach program. During a Nov. 20 video conference call with Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City, Mo., four members from the “Sea Knights” of HSC-22 sat around a small table with a nine-inch tablet as mechanics worked less than five feet away in the hangar. This may have not been the perfect environment for a “question and answer” event, but that didn’t stop LT j.g. Thomas Sandford and his team of aviation experts from connecting with a classroom half way across the country. “This was a fantastic, unique opportunity to be able to speak with students who may not really get the chance to experience

naval aviation,” said Sandford, a Navy pilot. “We were excited to be able to speak with them about what it is we do every day.” Flanking Sandford and the small tablet were Chief Warrant Officer Three Jimmy Newton, Aviation Electrician’s Mate 1st Class Devin Layser and Aviation Machinist’s Mate 1st Class Dean Devries. Each Sailor took turns answering questions from students and describing a normal workday. Along with questions about the Sailors’ daily routine and future aspirations, the students also wanted to know what the Sailors enjoyed most about the military and working in aviation. “The best part of my job is teaching and training other people,” said Newton. “I want them to have that ‘aha’ moment.” With nearly 30 years of naval aviation experience, Newton said it takes “a calm mind, smart head and focus to work on helicopters.”

As much as both the students and Sailors enjoyed this opportunity, it was an embark in September of this year aboard nuclearpowered aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) that set the wheels in motion for the event. “Getting the chance to see an aircraft carrier in action was one of the most powerful experiences of my life,” said Shonda Atwater, the Apprentice Program director at the Metropolitan Community College, located in Kansas City, Missouri. “When I saw parts produced in Kansas City being unboxed on the ship, it went full circle for me. The machining and manufacturing skills we are teaching our students are vital beyond our city. I just knew I needed to find a way to merge the human element with the parts produced in our region.” Nearly 40 students joined Atwater during the video conference. She said the entire conversation was very interesting and student were engaged; even after the

“

This was a fantastic, unique opportunity to be able to speak with students who may not really get the chance to experience naval aviation. We were excited to be able to speak with them about what it is we do every day LT j.g. Thomas Sandford call concluded. HSC-22 is an Expeditionary helicopter squadron located at Chambers Field in Norfolk, Virginia. The squadron was established on September 29, 2006, and has many different missions, including vertical replenishment, search and rescue, special forces insertion and extraction, and antisurface warfare.

USS San Antonio (LPD 17) hosted a Surface Navy Association (SNA) luncheon Nov. 21 aboard the ship at Naval Station Norfolk. In holding their lunch event aboard San Antonio, the group aimed to recognize and showcase to members, the ongoing contributions of the surface force. Since 1985, the Surface Navy Association has worked to promote greater coordination and communication among those in the military, business, and academic communities who share a common interest in surface warfare community while supporting their activities. “I could not be more proud of our warship’s crew,” said Capt. Brent C. Gaut, San Antonio commanding officer. “We always appreciate the opportunity to showcase our extraordinary crew of warriors. They truly represent the best of what our Navy has to offer our great nation. Additionally, we were honored to have the SNA and Rear Adm. Roy Kitchener choose our warship as the location for this year’s luncheon.” As Commander, Naval Surface Force Atlantic, Kitchener was the luncheon’s guest speaker. He told the group that the surface force is in great demand; he discussed some of the obstacles facing the force and also some success stories of recent Self-Sufficiency Award winners. Throughout his remarks he emphasized a common theme. “We must be combat ready and battleminded, period,” said Kitchener. “Anything less is failure. That’s what a culture of excellence demands and that is what our adversaries demand. We must go

SNA promotes greater coordination and communication among those in the military, business, and academic communities who share a common interest in surface warfare while supporting the activities of the Navy's surface forces.

beyond compliance; it requires each and every one of us to be technically proficient, tactically competent, standards-focused and accountable but most of all, a culture of excellence requires we take pride in ownership. Owning everything we do, every day!” The admiral also discussed maintenance and materiel readiness issues with the lunch

group, and told them that the littoral combat ship (LCS) is “out there and operationally capable.” With brand new LCS ships arriving in both Mayport and San Diego this month, three others are deployed from these homeports, increasing force lethality and capability in their theaters. “When it comes right down to it, the drive to be the very best we can be must be

engrained in our culture and for that I depend on each of you. My goal is to drive you to 100 percent of what your ships and crews are capable; each of you must do the same. “Why would we settle for anything less?” The USS San Antonio recently returned to Naval Station Norfolk after a planned maintenance availability at BAE systems shipyards in Norfolk, Va.

MCSA Brianna Thompson Sailors speak to a college representative during a college fair inside the hangar bay of the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69). Ike is currently pier side at Naval Station Norfolk conducting routine maintenance.

IKE SAILORS GET COLLEGE READY By MCSA Brianna Thompson

USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) Public Affairs

NORFOLK

Sailors assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) welcomed representatives from approximately 25 colleges and universities to talk to the crew during Ike’s college fair Nov. 14. This event was sponsored by the ship’s educational services office (ESO) and held in Ike’s hangar bay. Sailors were given the opportunity to speak to representatives in order to begin their college journeys. “Many Sailors join the military for the opportunity to attend college, but just wanting to go to college is not enough,” said Lt.j.g Michael Britt, Ike’s educational serv-

ices officer. “Sailors need to understand what it takes to get enrolled and the expectation universities will have.” At the fair, college and university representatives were available to answer a large variety of questions ranging from acceptance rates, degree paces, online classes and scholarships. Prior to joining the Navy, Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Recca Negad studied architecture in the Philippines for about four years. Negad said that finishing her degree was one of the reasons she really wanted to join the Navy. “One of my big questions was if I could transfer my credits from the Philippines to here,” said Recca. “One of the representa-

94 cents of every dollar supports programs and services for local military families.

tives gave me a link to a website for the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, a place that could help me with transferring my credits from the Philippines to an institution here.” After going through the college fair Negad said that the process is still nervewracking but the people here have assured her that if you just speak out and ask questions someone will help lead you in the direction you want to go in. “Just because Sailors attended this event it does not mean you have to go and start college the next semester,” said Britt. “This college fair is more of a way to open one’s mind to the process of seeking out and applying to colleges.” Yeoman 3rd Class James Jones attended the college fair in order to find a university that would be able to work around his schedule while underway. “One of the colleges reassured me that

they are able to work with Sailors,” said Jones. “They understand how the military works and are willing to adjust assignment and deadlines with students who may not be able to work with a regular schedule.” Jones said he is planning to take online classes. This will be Jones’s first time taking classes outside of the classroom setting. “It feels great to have these options,” said Jones. “I thought being underway would mean I would not have time to start my master’s program, but because of this college fair I was able to find options that would work best for me and my schedule.” Britt said he wants Ike’s crew to strive to be well-rounded by getting their qualifications, becoming experts in their rate and earning college credits. “At the end of the day you are responsible for your own career,” said Britt. “It is your responsibility to balance the needs of the Navy and your personal goals.”

CNO, MCPON present the Delbert D. Black Leadership Award From Chief of Naval Operations Public Affairs WASHINGTON

Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Mike Gilday and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Russell L. Smith presented the Delbert D. Black Leadership Award at the U.S. Navy Memorial to Command Master Chief Matthew Lashley, Nov.

20. This year’s award ceremony was the first to include a dinner, and culminated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the new Delbert D. Black Leadership Award exhibit inside the U.S. Navy Memorial. “There truly is no finer example of MCPON Black’s spirit of initiative and whole-hearted devotion to our Sailors than Command Master Chief Lashley,” said Gil-

day. “MCPON Black would be proud of you, as we all are, and it’s my privilege to present an award named for him to a deck plate leader like you.” The award is named for Master Chief Petty Officer Delbert D. Black, the Navy’s first MCPON. Black was selected for the position in January 1967. Over the course of his 30-year career, he earned a reputation as a deck plate leader and championed Sailor issues, including a focus on family advocacy. “Command Master Chief Lashley has clearly demonstrated those same progressive qualities that served as the hallmark of MCPON Black’s service,” said Smith. “As a Sailor who consistently demonstrates leadership by example and provides tireless advocacy for his Sailors, Command Master Chief Lashley is most deserving of this award that recognizes what Black epitomized.”

“

Smith said that Black’s selfless nature, humility, and can-do spirit created a better experience for all Sailors and continues to inspire our Navy today. The Navy created the award in 2013, which is presented each year to one outstanding Command Master Chief, Command Senior Chief, or Chief of the Boat to recognize their performance in leading Sailors and upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. Former MCPONs Duane R. Bushey, John Hagan, James L. Herdt, Rick D. West, Mike D. Stevens and honorary Master Chief Ima Black, also attended the event. Lashley is currently assigned to USS Benfold (DDG 65), homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. A ship named in Black’s honor, USS Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), was christened Nov. 4, 2017.

LINCOLN | U.S.

5th Fleet AOO encompasses about 2.5 million square miles of water Continued from B1 porting the combatant commander upon arrival due to the diligence and professionalism of our crew and strike group counterparts,” said Capt. Walt Slaughter, commanding officer of USS Abraham Lincoln

(CVN 72), the flagship of ABESG. “As we navigate throughout the theatre, we will exercise our vast capabilities and interoperability with international partners, as a mobile and lethal force. We are the tip of the spear, and we will continue to work with our coalition allies to ensure regional

security.” The U.S. 5th Fleet AOO encompasses about 2.5 million square miles of water and includes the Arabian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Red Sea and parts of the Indian Ocean. The expanse is comprised of 20 countries and includes three critical choke points at the Strait of Hormuz, the Suez Canal and the Strait of Bab al Mandeb at the southern tip of Yemen. Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group

is deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet AOO in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points. With Abraham Lincoln as the flagship, deployed strike group assets include staffs, ships and aircraft of CSG 12, Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 2, USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55) and CVW 7.

MC1 Raymond D. Diaz III Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Mike Gilday, left, presents signed books authored by Vice Adm. James Bond Stockdale to Cmdr. Patrick O’Loughlin, and Cmdr. Carl Trask during the 39th Annual Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale Leadership Award Ceremony. The award is presented annually to two commissioned officers on active duty, below the grade of captain, who are in command of a single ship, submarine, aviation squadron or operational warfare unit at the time of nomination.

STOCKDALE | Award

recognizes two commander officers who demonstrate inspirational leadership Continued from B1 manders spoke about the value of being truly connected with the members of their crew. “From what I’ve read about Vice Adm. Stockdale, and from his own writings, I believe he would agree that his perseverance as a POW was made possible in part by the support of others,” said O’Loughlin. O’Loughlin went on to highlight the importance of caring leadership.

“I believe in servant leadership – an idea that is biblical in its origins,” O’Loughlin said. “My command philosophy is five simple words: ‘Care. Be humble. Be hungry.’ It is my belief that if those placed in our charge know that we genuinely care about them – altruistic care, and not false care with some selfish end in mind, and I assure you they know the difference – they will work harder for the betterment of the command and the accomplishment of the mission.” O’Loughlin is commanding officer of USS Forrest Sherman (DDG 98), where he distinguished his leadership style with the creation and implementation of a revolutionary stand-down that identified crewmember role-play performances as an effective method to uncover biases and cultural and societal misunderstandings. Ultimately, this training developed his crew into a more resilient and effective team. Trask is the former commanding officer

of USS Connecticut (SSN 22), where he was recognized for building a disciplined team that consistently out-performed expectations on deployment and whose performance earned the following awards: 2018 Submarine Development Squadron FIVE Engineering Readiness “E”, Weapons Department “W”, Personnel Readiness “P”, Medical Readiness “M”, and Battle Efficiency “E”. “The single most significant thing I did onboard Connecticut was to know my crew,” said Trask. “I tried to know their backgrounds, families, aspirations – both in and out of the Navy.” Trask also attributes his success to those he has served with. “I am here not because of me, but because of the exceptional people who have surrounded me throughout my Navy career,” said Trask. Stockdale was a Naval Academy gradu-

ate and pilot. In September 1965, he ejected from his A-4E Skyhawk over North Vietnam and was captured. While prisoner, Stockdale served as an inspiring leader to his fellow prisoners until his release in February 1973. He received the Medal of Honor in 1976 and served as president of the Naval War College from October 1977 until August 1979. Active duty Navy commanders and below who are serving in command of a single ship, submarine, aviation squadron, Sea, Air, Land (SEAL) team, naval special warfare squadron, SEAL delivery vehicle team, special boat team, explosive ordnance disposal mobile unit, mobile diving and salvage unit, or Navy special clearance team may be nominated by their peers for the Vice Admiral James Bond Stockdale Leadership Award. Officers who wish to nominate a candidate must themselves be eligible for the award.

Local alt-country honky-tonk band The Heart Stompers are winning the hearts of fans By Yiorgo

On a leisurely walk in my neighborhood a while back I heard music playing at a nearby house and was captivated. I was delighted to find a group of musicians jamming to their heart’s delight. It was very apropos since the group’s name turned out to be “The Heart Stompers.” Tell us about “The Heart Stompers.” How did the group come together? Christopher May: We all LOVE roots mu-

sic: blues, honky-tonk, country, old R&B and our style definitely fits that mold. We

used to be more on the honky-tonk side of things, but now we have evolved into more of an Americana genre. So now we say: Alt-Country Honky-Tonk Americana and that captures it completely. Who are the current members? Gina Dalmas: The Heart Stompers are (and have always been): Gina Dalmas (vocals & acoustic guitar), Gordon Bradley (Vocals and acoustic guitar), Christopher May (Vocals and bass guitar), Greg Wike (electric

The Hampton Roads Naval Museum Annex, Building H-9 aboard Naval Station Norfolk will present a historical program about the U.S. Navy’s “Great White Fleet” on Dec.4 at 10:00 a.m. The historical program, part of the museum’s ongoing History @H-9 series, discusses President Theodore

Roosevelt’s 1907 mission to send the U.S. Navy’s Atlantic Fleet on a roundthe-world tour to test naval readiness, establish global presence, generate international goodwill and garner enthusiasm for the Navy. Sixteen battleships and 14,000 Sailors embarked on a historic voyage from the Hampton Roads area in December 1907. Their Voyage of a Lifetime steamed 43,000 nautical miles, visited

20 ports on six continents and returned in 1909; and is remembered today as the Great White Fleet. The program is based on the museum’s collection of artifacts related to the Great White Fleet, and is presented in an informal setting. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in discussions and tour the museum’s Special Collections room, which houses archives, artifacts, and art related to Naval Station Norfolk. The historical program is free, and open to all hands both military and civilian at the museum’s annex facility at the corner of Farragut and Powhatan aboard Naval Station Norfolk. Participants must have access to Naval Station Norfolk; Naval Museum staff or volunteers cannot sponsor access for participants. For individual and group reservations, contact Katherine.Renfrew@navy.mil or call (757) 445-6844.

Island of Warmth invites visitors to gather around a large fire, made of more than 150 incandescent light bulbs, an electrifying campfire that comes to life to music that is composed specially for the occasion. The Island of Warmth is an interactive light installation that lets visitors generate the fire's sounds and movements. Sensors placed under the floor of the platform allow festival goers to determine the movements of the flames and the music created by the sounds of the fire. As they dance and jump, the visitors kindle the embers, fan the flames and send sparks flying. Flames leap and swirl, creating warmth, light, smoke, and music. When the most active visitors start dancing and jumping around the bonfire, sparks begin to fly and leap to the top of the luminous structure. The more activity there is around the fire, the more intense are the blaze and the music that accompanies it. The Island of Warmth reaches its peak when everyone around it moves in sync, turning the installation into a symphony for the eyes and ears. A burst of irresistible collective energy spreads and brings the heart of the city to life.

38th Annual Virginia Beach Christmas Market

What did you listen to growing up?

CM:

 Nov. 29-Dec. 1  Virginia Beach Convention Center  http://www.emgshows.com/avbcm/

Johnny Horton, Marty Robbins, Buck Owens, Faron Young, Merle Haggard. Later as a teenager, I emulated my brother and listed to Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith and the like. Starting college, it was The Band and Jellyfish and Dag, plus a lot of jazz and classical music. I was majoring in music for the French horn. Later on, I switched majors.

Relive the magic of your favorite wizard in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban™ in Concert. Based on the third installment of J.K. Rowling’s classic saga, the thrilling tale is accompanied by the music of a live symphony orchestra as Harry soars across the big screen.

GD: When I was very young, I listened to my dad’s records.

CM: I listened to everything my father listened to in the ’70s

and ’80s. Steely Dan, The Eagles, Dan Rafferty, Pink Floyd, The Doobie Brothers, Paul Simon, Kenny Rogers. The first album I ever purchased was Blondie – the one with “The Tide is High” on it. By the mid-80's I was into U2 and REM. I didn’t really get into country music until I was older when Clint Black and Garth Brooks were putting out top hits. Any “wow” moments you can share?

For me, it was opening for Southern Culture on the Skids at the old Jewish Mother in Virginia Beach. They were so amazing to us and the crowd was absolutely incredible! I’ll never forget that night. Where can our readers come to hear you sing? GD:

November 30 we are at Smartmouth Brewery and December 14 we are at O’Connor Brewing Company. They can go to www.theheartstompers.com/ for upcoming dates. What will the audience expect to see and hear at your shows and why should they come? CM: We like to have fun on stage. I think the audience really

picks up on that and in turn gives that energy right back to us. We love to throw in the unexpected and we love trying out new songs. Yiorgo is a Hampton Roads arts, entertainment and sports writer.

Thel Moore III: Nutcracker is all it’s cracked up to be By Abby Likens Virginia Media

The Nutcracker is a famous ballet. Is the ballet all it’s cracked up to be?

Yes, The Nutcracker is all it’s cracked up to be. It’s a wonderful show with beautiful sets and costumes and even live music! Why do you think The Nutcracker has remained a timeless holiday tradition for so many?

Nutcracker has remained a timeless holiday tradition because it is full of Christmas spirit and a show you can bring the whole family to enjoy. For many it’s their first ballet and for others it’s what sparks that inspiration to even begin ballet. Why does this performance represent the holiday spirit?

This ballet represents the holiday spirit because it takes place during Christmas and shows the real meaning of giving and how the smallest gift can have the biggest impact in a person’s life. What is your role in The Nutcracker?

Currently I am rehearsing Dr. Silberhaus (Clara’s father), Spanish and the Arabian Charmer. What is your background?

I started my ballet training at the Baltimore School for the Arts and finished at the Nutmeg Ballet Conservatory. In 2016, I joined Richmond Ballet II, and this is my second year in Richmond Ballet’s main company. Sarah Ferguson Abi Goldstein and Thel Moore III in The Nutcracker by Stoner Winslett

This season marks Stoner Winslett’s 40th time staging The Nutcracker

Pupcracker:

“It is thrilling for us to watch the children rehearse and see the performance come together,” says Brett Bonda Richmond Ballet Managing Director. “Their parents are in the audience, but so are so many other families from the Southside, the Peninsula, and North Carolina who love The Nutcracker and make it part of their annual holiday experience.” This season marks Richmond Ballet Artistic Director Stoner Winslett’s 40th time staging her continually evolving version of The Nutcracker, which has been heralded as “one of the country’s most perfect [Nutcracker productions]” by The New York Times. With its colorful sets, fanciful costumes, and beloved characters, such as the Russian Bear and Mouse King, The Nutcracker continues to charm generations.

There will be a special added “performer” during the Friday evening show. WAVY TV morning anchor Katie Collett will join the Ballet’s company dancers during the party scene in Act One, reviving memories of her own dance training as a child. For the third year in a row, Richmond Ballet will partner with Virginia Beach SPCA during the Sunday matinee for a meet and greet with adoptable dogs before the show and during intermission. The dogs will also make an appearance on stage during the performance. Clara’s Tea Party:

This elegant seated tea with tasty sweets will be held from 4:15 – 5:15 p.m. immediately following the 2:00 p.m. Saturday matinee performance at Chrysler Hall. Guests will meet Clara and other characters from the Kingdom of Sweets during this intimate family event. To purchase tickets to “Clara’s Tea Party”, visit Ticketmaster.com, pick seats for the Saturday, December 7th 2:00 p.m. show, then select the “Clara’s Tea Party” add-on prior to checkout. Tea party tickets are $30 per person.

In terms of favorite performances, how would you rank this show?

I would definitely rank The Nutcracker as one of my favorite ballets for so many reasons, but the most important I think is that the students from the School of Richmond Ballet and the many local studios in Hampton Roads perform with us on stage. They look up to us and, with their joy and fresh look on ballet, it really sparks joy in all of us. Any cool dance scenes?

I don’t want to give anything away, but the Russian Bear is always a crowd favorite and who knows what tricks may come the audience’s way! How do you keep the choreography of the show fresh?

The way we try to keep the choreography fresh every year is by rotating roles between the company dancers so each person can bring their personality and their perception to each of the characters. What would you tell young boys and girls who aspire to dance in The Nutcracker?

I would tell young boys and girls to keep working hard. And keep your head up. Sometimes it will get hard, but if you keep going, the reward will definitely be worth it.

From Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation

The holiday season starts on Thanksgiving Day with a three-day event that explores foodways of 17th- and 18th-century Virginia and centuries-old cooking and preservation methods. At Jamestown Settlement, historical interpreters demonstrate how food was gathered, preserved and prepared on land and at sea by Virginia’s English colonists and Powhatan Indians. At the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, programs examine typical soldiers’ fare during the Revolutionary War and trace the bounty of a period farm from field to kitchen. While food preparation in the museums’ outdoor living-history areas is for demonstration purposes only, the Jamestown Settlement Café will offer a traditional Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
