When will the NEX Food Court TVs be fixed?
Question: The television set in the Navy Ex-change Food Court plays the same video continu-ously. I was told that when the contractor installedthe new main-entrance sliding doors, the cableto the television set over the doors was severed.I would like to know when the television will berepaired to play news or sports for the patrons ofthe Food Court instead of a children’s video repeat-ing itself.
Answer: The DirectTV connection was origi-nally disabled to allow the connection of the newSight and Sound power television center. It wasreconnected successfully; however, at the time,due to continuing renovations on the Food Courtentrance, the NEX opted to postpone the reconnect
of the Food Court TVs until the completion.After the contractors left, NEX officials discov-
ered that the connections were severed in the ceil-ing and would need to be repaired. As the construc-tion work is under warranty, NEX has been workingwith NAVFAC to ensure that the repair work is paidfor by the appropriate parties, as NEX should notbear the expense of their repair.Currently, a different contractor is working on
the roof and HVAC systems on the NEX roof. TheDirectTV antennas have been moved several timesand need to also be realigned. The NEX has madearrangements with DirectTV for all of the workneeding to be performed within the next few weeks.Patrons can expect to have a news channel avail-able for viewing at that time.

Only $993,933 left to go.The Combined Federal Campaign kick-
offs at PointMugu on Thursday, Sept. 30,and at Port Hueneme on Tuesday, Oct. 5,brought in $6,067, making a dent in the$1 million fund-raising goal for 2010.Capt. Jim McHugh, commanding of-
ficer, NBVC, is chairing this year’s cam-paign, which runs throughDec. 17. At thekickoffs, he praised the concept behindthe CFC.“This is a great opportunity to help fund
an organization that means something toyou and to learn about other organizationsout there,” he told the crowd at each ofthe gatherings.Federal workers can choose frommore
than 200 charities to help fund via allot-ments from their paychecks beginning Jan.1 or via a one-time donation.Terri Belkin,CFCdirector, said $951,000
was raised by the 17,000 federal workersin Ventura, Santa Barbara and San LuisObispo counties last year, 5 percent morethan the year prior, and she’s confidentabout achieving the $1millionmark. Thisis the seventh year she has directed thecampaign, which NBVC has taken partin for more than 30 years.About 20 organizations had booths at
the Port Hueneme and Point Mugu kick-offs to introduce their services and letpeople know what they do.Each kickoff also incorporated a 5K
run, a $3 barbecue lunch put on by theFirst Class Petty Officers Association and
giveaways.For more information on the CFC or

The Navy’s Energy Conservation Tech-nology Validation (TECHVAL) programinstalledmore than 50 energy-saving, workstation specific lights at Building 1100aboard Naval Base Ventura County(NBVC) the week of Sept. 6.
The pendant lights, deployed within theNAVFAC Engineering Service Center’sheadquarters building, consist of a single“up” and two “down” T5 fluorescenttubes. The lights can be easily controlledby the cubicle occupant and offer fargreater illumination while using less en-ergy.“This new lighting system shows great
promise and has undergone rigorous test-ing through our TECHVAL program,”said Capt. Paz B. Gomez, Naval FacilitiesEngineering Service Center commandingofficer. “The lights burn with a highercolor temperature and appear brighter tothe human eye. This enables us to dim
them to reduced levels, using less energyand saving money for the fleet and Amer-ican taxpayers.”The up lights are controlled by the facil-
ity and can be dimmed and turned on andoff with a time clock. The down lights arecontrolled by the individual cubicle oc-cupant, who uses a hand-held remotecontrol tomeet their comfort level, or turnthe lights off entirely. Each light fixture isequipped with an occupancy sensor that
turns off the two down lights when no oneis in the cubicle.Lights in proximity to building windows
will include daylight sensors that will au-tomatically dim the up lights during day-light hours, saving energy when not inuse.The lights replaced are four banks of
lights on two circuits, governed by a timeclock to come on daily at 6 a.m., switchingoff at 6 p.m. Each of the four individualbanks could be turned on for 30 minutesat a time. During normal work hours, alllights would be turned on, even thoughinformal surveys showed that, at any timein the regular workday, only one-third ofthe cubicles would be occupied. In addi-tion, employees working during off hourswould find, at a minimum, a quarter ofthe lights activated. The new lights willeliminate much of that wasted energy.Previous installations of these types of
lights have registered energy reductionsof up to 80 percent in similar environ-ments.

I have to admit that while I think I amOPSEC conscious — it makes my familyand friends crazy — I never realized howcareless I was on PERSEC, or personalsecurity.Maybe, like me, you have said or posted
something similar to the following, “Mycountdown calendar is getting smaller!”From an OPSEC perspective, I didn’t
reveal a thing about my service member’scommand, area of operation, movementor return, right? So from an OPSEC per-spective I was good. However, from aPERSEC view – well, I just announcedthat my husband is gone, implying that Iam home alone.Now, what if I then post, “I’m meeting
the girls for a movie.” Now I have an-nounced that I live alone and my home isgoing to be empty. See where we are head-ing here?So let’s talk about personal safety at
home. TheDepartment of theArmy offersthe following to spouses:• Consider owning a dog. If that is not
possible, give the appearance of owning
a dog. Post a “Beware of dog” sign andset large dog bowls outside and inside thehouse.• Consider stronger doors, a security
alarm system, peepholes in all doors andblackout drapes and curtains.Most alarmcompanies will conduct a free home in-spection and make safety recommenda-tions regardless of whether you purchasetheir products.• Have adequate lighting outside your
house.• Create the appearance that the house
is occupied while you are away by usingtimers to control lights and radios (yes,radios) and having a trusted neighbor orrelative pick up newspapers and mail andput your trash out and return containersto their proper place — and cut yourgrass.• Never admit strangers to your home
without proper identification — thinkabout all the service providers in our homewith each PCSmove. If you’re not expect-ing a service tech, call the company toverify the official visit.• Do not unnecessarily divulge your
home address, phone number or familyinfo. Teach children to do the same.• Personally destroy all paperwork and
other items that reflect personal informa-tion, including bank statements, creditcard offers, etc. A good cross-cut shredderis around $30 and is worth it.• Develop a “code”to talk about deploy-
ment with your family and friends (“Joereturns on the 10th of Carnation”).• Help children understand the impor-
tance of safety, especially keeping our
service member’s status a “secret” fromunauthorized individuals — those whoaren’t teachers, clergy, etc.• Always lock your car, even if you are
only going to be a moment. Think thisisn’t important? Your base access tags an-nounce you are military, and your vehicleregistration and insurance cards provideyour address. That’s more informationthan any stranger has a right to access.• Never leave bills or other correspon-
dence in your car. Again, this reveals youraddress.• Remember that once you post some-
thing on the Internet, it is there forever!A clue given today, coupled with a clueyesterday and another tomorrow, can po-tentially put you, your family or servicemember at risk.PERSEC– your personal security – yup,
it really is important.

For a variety of reasons, military fami-lies often choose homeschooling as anoption for their children. With frequentmoves, differences in state and school dis-trict requirements, or family preferences,homeschooling can be an ideal choice formilitary families. However, it is importantfor families to understand what the staterequires to ensure that students are beingeducated legally. These are the optionsavailable to California families:Private School Affidavit (PSA): The
Private School Affidavit may be filed on-line at the California Department ofEducation website from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15of every year. Schools that are createdafter the filing period should file at thetime the school is established. If you needto file your affidavit and cannot do soelectronically (or choose not to), you canstill file a Statement in Lieu. You bear re-sponsibility to adhere to all private schoollaws and maintain records. Californiamandates that certain subjects such asreading, social studies, math and sciencebe taught when you file the Private SchoolAffidavit. Hiring a certified private home-school tutor also falls under this option
(Cal. Educ. Code §§ 33190, 48222,48224.)Public School Independent Study Pro-
gram (ISP) or Charter School: If you reg-ister with a public school ISP or CharterSchool, your child is still enrolled in pub-lic school but instruction is delivered athome. You are considered a teacher’s aideand will be assigned a credentialed teach-er to oversee your program. You will needto keep the records required by the pro-gram in which you enroll. Materials areavailable on loan. Parents are asked to signa contract agreeing that they will allow
their child to be tested. Public programswill not offer religious materials, and anyreligious instruction must be after the re-corded school hours. Please see yourschool liaison officer for a list of homecharter schools or information on inde-pendent study in your area. (Cal. Educ.Code § 51745.)Private School Satellite Program:APSP
is a private school that has filed an affida-vit. If you enroll in a Private PSP, it actsas an administrative umbrella for yourfamily’s private school. The private PSPfiles the Private School Affidavit annu-ally and keeps required records on file suchas attendance records, health records andan outlined course of study for each stu-dent. They may also keep track of cumu-lative files, grades, transcripts and testresults, if any. A small tuition fee will becharged for administrative and paperworkservices. When you sign up, you becomea teacher in that school. Your name andaddress do not appear on the affidavit,but the PSP is required to keep a listingof each teacher and his/her qualifications.(Cal. Educ. Code § 48222.)Correspondence and Virtual Schools:
These programs work much like a PSP oran ISP; however, the teacher is online andthey keep all the school records. The Cal-ifornia Virtual Academy (CAVA) is oneof the largest public (tuition-free) virtualschools in California. http://www.k12.com/cava/There are private, out-of-state Indepen-
dent StudyCorrespondence Programs andcurricula. Unless the school maintains anoffice in the state of California and filesthe Private School Affidavit (R4 Form),enrolling in their program will not satisfythe legal requirements for public schoolexemption. It’s OK to enroll in an out-of-state ISP to get and use the curriculum,but it will not cover you legally unless theschool complies with California law. If ithas not filed an affidavit, then you musteither enroll in a Private ISP establishedinCalifornia, or establish your own privateschool and file the R4 Affidavit yourself(Cal. Educ. Code § 51745; Private: CalEduc. Code § 48222.)

Worship scheduleThe older I become the more I havegrown in the awareness and importanceof caring for my health.Onemight surmise that servicemembers
are health conscious, especially since weare required to remain within certainphysical standards to continue functioningas viable qualifiedmembers of the variousbranches of service. Remaining healthyenables the military to keep their focus onmission, so healthy eating habits are im-portant, exercise is necessary and fosteringemotional and mental health is essen-tial.You would think all this was easily un-
derstood, but sometimes we are our ownworst enemy, lacking the discipline re-quired to uphold these critical habits.Discipline is an action we should strive
to fulfill, for it can reap great benefits forour personal and professional lives. It isa quality we should run swiftly towardbecause the result will make us feel likewe have overcome a mountain.Yet, due to our own will, the choices
and decisions wemake can hinder the dis-cipline we need to maintain healthy life-styles. There are so many distractions or
temptations that deter us from an easywalk along this road. We exercise occa-sionally, or not at all, rather than consis-tently, and we ignore emotional feelingsthat lead to poor deleterious interactionswith others.Discipline can help us stay the course
so we become the people we want to be.Hopefully, practicing healthy living is amajor goal for each of us.As a Christian, maintaining a healthy
lifestyle is pertinent to my walk withGod.In the Holy Bible (I Corinthians 6:19), itis written, “Do you not know that your
body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, whois in you, whom you have received fromGod?You are not your own…” Thereforedoing what is right for my body is serviceunto God.Let’s make every effort to care for our-
selves and fight bad choices. God is withus, our strength in our weakest moments.Lean onHis strength to exercise disciplinefor healthy living. This action you will notregret.

“You guys are doing a wonderful job.”With those words, Capt. JimMcHugh,
commanding officer, Naval Base VenturaCounty (NBVC), congratulated workersat the Child Development Center atNBVC, Port Hueneme, for earning a five-year accreditation from the National As-sociation for the Education of YoungChildren (NAEYC), the nation’s leadingorganization of early childhood profes-sionals.“We’re proud to have earned the mark
of quality from NAEYC, and to be rec-ognized for our commitment to reachingthe highest professional standards,” saidTamara Lo-Ray, director of the Port Hue-neme Child Development Center.“NAEYCaccreditation lets families in ourcommunity know that children in our pro-gram are getting the best care and earlylearning experiences possible.“Our mission is to provide an optimal
environment for the development of youngchildren that enhances the quality of lifefor the military family in support of mis-sion readiness.”McHugh and Capt. David Sasek, chief
staff officer, NBVC, toured the Child De-
velopment Center on Friday, Sept. 24,congratulating each of the workersthroughout the building.They had to do so quietly: The officers
arrived during nap time.The tour began with Tina Levasseur, a
training and curriculum specialist at thecenter, showing the officers the portfoliosand lesson plans that are drawn up and
constantly updated for each of the 142children, from infants to preschoolers, andbriefing them on the accreditation pro-cess.To earnNAEYC accreditation, the Port
HuenemeChildDevelopmentCenter wentthrough an extensive self-study process,measuring the program and its servicesagainst the 10 NAEYC Early ChildhoodProgram Standards and more than 400related accreditation criteria. The pro-gram receivedNAEYC accreditation afteran on-site visit by NAEYC assessors toensure that the programmeets each of the10 program standards.NAEYC-accredited programs are also
subject to unannounced visits during theiraccreditation, which lasts for five years.“Your work is so important,”McHugh
told the staff. “Our Sailors need to knowtheir children are in a safe and education-al environment. It eases a lot of the bur-den.”The ChildDevelopment Center at Point
Mugu will begin the reaccreditation pro-cess next year. There are 72 children atthat facility.In the 25 years since NAEYC accredita-
tion was established, it has become awidely recognized sign of high-qualityearly childhood education. More than7,000 programs are currently accreditedby NAEYC — approximately 8 percentof all preschools and other early child-hood programs.“The NAEYC accreditation system
raises the bar for child care centers andother early childhood programs,” saidJerlean E.Daniel, Ph.D, executive directorof NAEYC. “Having earnedNAEYCAc-creditation is a sign that Port HuenemeChild Development Center is a leader ina national effort to invest in high-qualityearly childhood education.”The NAEYC accreditation system has
set voluntary professional standards forprograms for young children since 1985.In September 2006, the association revisedprogram standards and criteria to intro-duce a new level of quality, accountabil-ity and service for parents and children inchild care programs. The new standardstoday reflect the latest research and bestpractices in early childhood education anddevelopment.

On Friday, Oct. 1, the Naval Base Ven-tura County Fleet and Family SupportCenter (FFSC) teamed up with the PortHueneme Commissary to raise awarenessof disaster preparedness throughout thelocal military community.During the event, FFSC personnel dis-
tributed 500Operation Preparemini-flash-lights to commissary patrons. They alsoprovided shoppers with the Navy’s book-let, “Are You Ready?” the Southern Cali-fornia Earthquake Commission’s “PuttingDownRoots in Earthquake Country,” theFederal EmergencyManagementAgency’s“Ready Kids”activity book and an emer-gency shopping list prepared by the De-fense Commissary Agency.“The hope is that these materials will
inspire Navy families to be prepared forthe day an emergency strikes,” said JayneBurgess, an FFSC work and family life
consultant who specializes in disaster pre-paredness. “Knowing what to do can savelives, property and time.”One of the most important things for
Navy families to do to protect themselvesin possible emergencies is to be informed,have a plan and make a kit.Service members and their families can
learn how to prepare, respond, and re-cover with the FFSC’s Operation Preparepublic awareness program.For materials or information on Op-
eration Prepare or about disaster pre-paredness classes, contact Jayne Burgessat 982-3159 or [email protected].

Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary ofDefense, famously, or infamously, oncesaid that the military goes to war with theequipment it has on hand, not what itwould like to have. In Iraq, that led tomany casualties.Unfortunately, the same can be said for
many of us— that we went into marriageor partner relationships with the skills wehad. Too often the result is much pain andsuffering and collateral damage to childrenfrom frequent arguments, divorce anddomestic violence.A 2001 study found that couples are
looking for a “soul mate,” someone towhom they have a profound spiritual andemotional connection to. This places ahistorically heavy burden on each partnerand the relationship itself, with the expec-tation that each will make the other hap-py. This expectation conflicts with thereality that as people and circumstanceschange, the relationship must also gothrough the growing pains change alwaysbrings.Marriage goes through phases: thehoneymoon stage; the “What happenedto the man/woman I married?” stage; the“Change or else” stage; to the stage of
accepting and appreciating each other’sdifferences.Essential supportive skills of commu-
nication, anger and stress management,conflict resolution, knowledge of male andfemale dynamics, parenting and financialmanagement can reduce and/or preventthe terrible emotional, physical, financialand legal pain and suffering that maritalconflict or domestic violence causes.Your Fleet and Family Support Center
is where you can get what you need for amore healthy relationship. Call for a con-fidential appointment at 866-923-6479.

DEH DADI-TWO, Afghani-stan — Naval Mobile Construc-tion Battalion (NMCB) 40 con-ducted a change of commandceremony on Sept. 24 at DehDadi-Two, Afghanistan.Cmdr. Tim J. DeWitt assumed
command of NMCB 40 fromCmdr.GlennW.Hubbard, bring-ing an end toHubbard’s two-yeartour.“I’m sad,” said Hubbard. “I
don’t want to leave, but I knowit’s time to go. It’s just hard toleave when 40 has been doing sowell. I love seeing them so suc-cessful, and I’m really going tomiss that.”
During an interview, Hubbardtalked about some of the unit’saccomplishments during his timeas commanding officer.According toHubbard,NMCB
40 established the first permanentdetail in Timor-Leste.“We went into the far reaches
of Timor-Leste building schools,clinics and renovating a univer-sity,” saidHubbard. “We also didextremely well during our FTX(field training exercise.) I’m proudof all of them.”When asked about his person-
al accomplishments at 40, Hub-bard said, “I think I’ve made thisplacemore approachable becauseI’m approachable. I’ve tried tobring back the enabling and em-powering of the small unit leader.I’ve tried tomake this a fun placeto come to work.”The change of command cer-
emony was an abbreviated ver-sion and a departure from thetraditional Navy change of com-mand ceremony.
“I think aNavy change of com-mand ceremony in a land-lockedcountry deserves a departurefrom the norm,” said Hubbard,adding that he just wanted to geta few last words out to thetroops.
“I want to express my sinceregratitude to the men and womenof NMCB 40 for all their service,dedication and hard work,” saidHubbard. “They have made thistour enjoyable, rewarding, andhumbling. It’s all about the peo-
ple, and the people make thetour.”Hubbard closed his comments
with one last “Hoo-rah 40” be-fore reading his orders and trans-ferring his command to De-Witt.DeWitt’s comments were brief
and to the point: “To themen andwomen of 40: There is no doubtover the next few months we willbe faced with many challenges,”he said. “But after spending justa few days here, I am extremelyconfident that together as oneteam, “Fighting Forty”will comethrough it all.”DeWitt, a native of Oregon,
Ill., received a bachelor of sciencedegree in civil engineering at theUniversity of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign and his commissionfromNavalReserveOfficer Train-ing Corps (NROTC) in 1993.DeWitt began his career as a sur-face warfare officer and trans-ferred to theCivil Engineer Corpsin January 2000.

second consecutive year, I was speech-less.”The fire department for the six-state
Southwest Region is indeed large, en-compassing 25 installations, nine air-fields, two major aircraft carriers and 67supported ships. It protects the largestland mass in the Navy— 1,363,745 acres— and 6,218 buildings.The 79 firefighters assigned to NBVC
are part of a special force that must haveexpertise in not only structure, airfieldand shipboard fires but also the SantaAna-fueled wildfires that plague theSouthwest Region nearly every autumn,especially in Ventura County.“There aren’t that many departments
that have wildland responses outside oftheir installations, much less the numbersand sizes that we respond to,” Adkinsexplained. “It takes additional trainingand certifications to allow our personnelto respond to these types of incidents.”The Southwest Region has an unri-
valed number of mutual aid partnerships— 39 — involving 400 fire stations.
That’s 5 million people who could po-tentially be helped by Fed Fire person-nel.
Cost savings was another area notedon the nomination forms.Using in-house instructors to train
1,100 firefighters in hazardous materialsand emergency services training, amongother areas, saved more than $320,000in 2009. Training with mutual aid part-ners saved an additional $60,000.The Navy’s first fire and emergency
services training center was built in theSouthwest Region.“Joint labor effort between firefighters
and community regulations, militarytraining projects and tenant commandssaved over $2.4 million in procurementand 10,000 man hours in labor,” thenomination form stated.The region worked closely with com-
munities in providing training and safe-ty classes. Fire safety camps taught el-ementary school children life-savingskills, and the region provided instruc-tors for the Firehouse World Expo inSan Diego and at a three-day exercise inthe High Sierra’s Forest Service Cen-ter.The region added $17,000 in safety
equipment and conducted $260,000 instation upgrades, including refurnishingbunkrooms, offices and kitchens.

hind the Pass and Decal Office on Ven-tura Road.“Just looking at it from the road, the
building didn’t look big enough to houseeverything,” said Walter Hicks, a Ca-marillo resident who served in the Sea-bees from 1953 to 1957. “But it’s differ-ent once you get inside.”The architecture itself drew rave re-
views.“Nothing can match this,” said Clar-
ence Hamersen, a 94-year-old retired
chief petty officer who came from Tuc-son, Ariz., to attend the first open house.“It’s not just a plain hallway with a fewpictures on the sides. They’re transport-ing the real thing in here. I’ve never seena museum done that way.”Paul Boog, a retiree living in Port Hue-
neme, often brought visitors to the mu-seum’s predecessor: two drafty Quonsethuts that were more than 60 years oldand had bad ventilation and even worseplumbing.“This is such an improvement, with
so much room,” he said. “The other onewas really scrunched up. You couldn’tappreciate what was inside.”Bill Annett, a Seabee from 1964 to
1967, lives in San Diego but drives toPort Hueneme six to eight times a yearto volunteer at the museum. He’s eagerto start helping to move the displays intothe new building.“It’s a lot bigger on the inside than
what I’d pictured,” he said. “This is re-ally going to be great.”

Get ready to be afraid.Very afraid.The zombies, vampires and chainsaw-
wieldingmaniacs thatmake up theHaunt-ed Swamp at the Naval Base VenturaCounty, Port Hueneme, Aquatics Centerare waking up and preparing their come-back for Oct. 28-30.Morale,Welfare andRecreationAquat-
ics Manager Molly McCarthy and headlifeguard Ryan Althoff are heading upconstruction of the third annual HauntedSwamp, and they’re excited about what’staking shape.“We’ve got pirates and hillbillies, a rain
room, an ‘Alice inWonderland’ forest anda cave,”McCarthy said. “It’s going to begreat.”TheHaunted Swamp is open tomilitary,
dependent andDefense Department civil-ian personnel only on the first night, Oct.28. The not-so-scary tours for the young-er set are from 4 to 6 p.m., and scary toursare after dark, from 7 to 10 p.m.The public is invited on Oct. 29 and 30.
Hours are the same, and free shuttle bus-es will take civilian guests from the Pleas-ant Valley Gate to the swamp until 9p.m.The Haunted Swamp is free for all mil-
itary and dependent personnel and forchildren 6 and younger. The early toursare $5 per person, and scary tours are $8per person.Visitors will walk into the pool area,
passing graveyards and zombies along theway, and head toward a boat dock, com-plete with lanterns and smoke. They’ll pileinto boats that divers from the Underwa-ter Construction Team 2 will then dragthrough the pool while the passengers takein the fog, camouflage and sounds of
crickets— and perhaps a surprise or two.They’ll disembark and make their waythrough a maze, cave, rain room, forestand everything they contain before head-
ing into the Warfield Gym for a carnivalwith candy, food and games.“We do this so Sailors and their families
have something cool to do for Halloween
that’s safe for the kids and is in a safe en-vironment,”McCarthy explained.“They’re not crossing streets at night
and running through intersections,”Althoff added.Right now, there are five key people
working on the swamp: McCarthy andAlthoff, Builder 2nd Class Justin Gomezof theNavyConstructionTrainingCenter,volunteerMercy Roman andMWRMar-keting Assistant Richard Cobb.Builder 1st Class Casey Polly, with the
NBVC 1st LT Division, is also helpingorganize the event.Commands that have committed to help
during the three-night event include VX-30, the Navy Research Lab, Medical andNaval Mobile Construction Battalion 4.McCarthy is looking for more help.
She’ll need about 60 volunteers each ofthe three nights to make everything asscary as it needs to be.McCarthy designed her first haunted
swamp in 2004 as a class project at Cali-fornia State University, Chico, where shewas majoring in sociology and minoringin recreational administration. She put onthe event for the Chico Area Recreationand Park District, which later hired her.When she came to NBVC several yearsago, she brought the idea with her.“No two years have ever been the same,
and they’ll always be different,” vowsAlthoff, who confesses that Halloweenisn’t his favorite holiday but that he’s got-ten, shall we say, sucked in by the vampiresand ghouls that make up the event.McCarthy and her crew started work
on this year’s project on Labor Day, whenthe pool cut back from its long summerhours to its winter schedule of 6 to 8 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.Monday throughFriday only.Onweek-ends especially, they can get a lot of workdone.“We’re really hoping to get a lot of
people,” McCarthy said. “We’ll be openrain or shine. And the more people wehave, the more fun it will be.”The zombies couldn’t agree more.
