Family and MWR Director
Friends, customers and supporters as the FMWR Director I want to
apologize for the break we had with the magazine due to employee
turnover. We know that this may have created an inconvenience
because you didn’t have a source of communication providing you
with community events.
We have a new manager in the marketing office, her name is
MaryAnna Clemons. She’s here with us now and is originally from
the Central Coast. She is working to get everything back on schedule
to provide quality programming, quality service and information to
you on a quarterly basis.
Your feedback is welcome. Please let us know what you think
and how we can help make Fort Hunter Liggett a better place to

Happy Holidays
Greetings!
As the new marketing manager at FHL with Family and
MWR, I am excited to be here ¬– and it’s my third trip!
Twenty-five years ago, give or take, I met my futurehusband-to-be while working as a data collector for Army
missile defense projects here at FHL. We now have three
children and I have a step-daughter. My second trip here,
I PCS’d from Baumholder, Germany, while in the Army,
and eventually outprocessed from FHL. And now, I’m back
again.
I have a degree and two years of graduate work from Fort Hays State University in Hays, Kan. Growing up in the
restaurant business - marketing, sales and customer service are ingrained in my personality. Additionally, I am bringing 18
years of marketing experience from many different areas such as working at Peterson AFB, the Colorado National Guard,
publishing a women’s rodeo association magazine, selling and creating advertising, working with the PRCA as their
publication manager, four years of freelancing to consumer magazines, niche markets, business-to-business
publications and as an editor on several small-town newspapers. I consider it to be an honor to be here with the MWR
family. As a native of the Central Coast area, I’m delighted to be home. Literally.
As you can see from Xavier’s great photos, Oktoberfest was a success! The marketing team, Carrie Moody, Ramona
Tinae, Xavier Vazquez and I look forward to hosting events that suit the customers: You. I’m working toward writing articles
that showcase what a great place FHL is, how much we try to serve the local community through our public availability and
how great our MWR staff works to put on events with minimal coverage. As well, I will include articles on local history such
as Mission San Antonio de Padua and other great local(ish) attractions. All suggestions about events, the magazine (or
anything else) are welcome: maryanna.clemons.naf@mail.mil.
THE AMENITIES YOU WANT. THE LOCATION YOU NEED.
The new face of on-post hotels.
At IHG Army Hotels on Fort Hunter Liggett, we know that convenience is
about more than location. That’s why we’re changing the face of on-post
hotels with upgraded rooms, complimentary breakfast, weekly socials
and a knowledgeable staff. And since you don’t have to be in the military
to stay with us, everyone’s welcome—no matter their mission.

Victim Advocate
Mr. Olon Wafer is the new Victim Advocate assigned to the Garrison and
stationed at Camp Parks. He comes to us from Kingman, Ariz., where he worked
for the Veteran's Administration. Mr. Wafer has worked as an adult probation
officer, a juvenile parole officer with the State of Arizona, and a Child Protective
Services Investigator, also with the State of Arizona. He is former Army where
he served as a Military Police Officer. Mr. Wafer possesses nearly 20 years of
combined counseling and investigative experience. His office on Camp Parks is
located in Building 312 and he can be reached at ext. 4370. Mr. Wafer serves
Fort Hunter Liggett as well as Camp Parks.
SHARP Program
Mr. Olon Wafer
What is the SHARP program? The acronym stands for Sexual Harassment,
Assault, Response, and Prevention (SHARP). Sexual harassment and assault
violate our Army Values and interferes in the support of our brothers and sisters
in arms. The Army is aggressively addressing sexual harassment and assault
by first focusing on prevention through education, training, victim advocacy and
confidentiality. The Army encourages reporting and is working hard to reduce
the stigma associated with sexual violence. Once reported, the Army focuses
on care for victims and thorough investigations and prosecutions hold offenders
accountable. This is where your Victim Advocate (VA) comes in.
What is a victim advocate and what does a victim advocate do?
The minutes and hours immediately following sexual harassment, sexual assault, or similar violent crimes can be extremely
confusing and traumatic. Working with military and local law enforcement, a victim advocate may:
• See that the victim receives emergency medical treatment as necessary.
• Acquire food, shelter, clothing or other necessities the victim may immediately need.
• At the victim’s request, contact family members to inform them of the situation.
• At the victim’s request, contact employers if the victim will be unable to go to work.
Long-Term Assistance
After a victim’s immediate needs have been taken care of, the victim advocate may provide additional long-term services
to help the victim recover from his or her experience, achieve justice, and help return their life to some degree of normalcy.
These services can include:
• Helping the victim report the crime to the proper authorities and complete any required paperwork.
• Helping the victim file a restraining order or even divorce forms (often in the case of domestic abuse).
• At the victim’s request, contact creditors to arrange for delayed payments, suspension of late fees, etc.
• Coaching the victim prior to court appearances.
• Helping the victim recover property used as evidence following a trial.
In a nutshell, the victim advocate serves as a confidant, friend and representative to help minimize the psychological,
emotional and financial damage that often comes with being at the wrong end of serious crimes.
For additional information, visit the
Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention website:
www.preventsexualassault.army.mil or you can speak with me,

MWR Outdoor Recreation &
the Rocky Mountain Elk
Foundation
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation began to host Tule Elk Hunts in cooperation with Ft.
Hunter Liggett in 2010. The program began under Col. James Suriano and CSM Ken Davidson.
The Purple Heart Hunts began in 2011 along with Gold Star Family cow elk hunts. This year
was the first year that a Vietnam Era Veteran, Richard Villareal, US Army Purple Heart Recipient, was our guest of honor.
Lacy and Dorothy Harber of Las Vegas, Nev., purchased the hunt opportunity for Richard at
a RMEF fundraising event held in Fresno, Calif., in March of 2014. Lacy Harber, also purchased
his own hunt opportunity at the same event. In total, $27,500 was raised this year to benefit
the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, and habitat work for elk and other wildlife, which has
been done on Ft. Hunter Liggett and other California project areas.
The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation has been the premier sponsor for the FHL Annual
Fishing Derby held each spring for the past several years. RMEF has donated money for
stocking fish, raffle prizes and food supplies for the MWR hosted event on base.

Robles Airport.
But RMEF has committed to funding in the amount of $6,000 for the 2015 event.
RMEF has awarded funding to FHL for habitat improvement projects
like yellow star thistle weed removal and water guzzler installations.
Volunteers from local RMEF chapters, as well as base personnel, have
helped remove several miles of three strand barbed wire fencing on FHL.
All of these projects directly impact the quality of habitat for elk, deer,
pigs and other wild game found on FHL.
RMEF works closely with FMWR Recreation Manager, Glen McMurtry,
Range Safety Officer, Don Nead, and the environmental division of FHL:
in particular, Rob Pike and Jim Kilber, to coordinate these special hunt opportunities. Without the cooperation of these folks and the support of the
Base Commander Col. Donna Williams, we would not be able to have such

Give Thanks
Fall has arrived, the morning air is crisp and cool. The
children have started back to school and many are caught
up following their favorite football teams. Seasonal menus
show a spike in pumpkin and apple based drinks and
dishes.
For many, fall is a favored time, a time to view the
fleeting beauty of nature’s splendor in the changing
leaves, a trip to the apple orchard or pumpkin farm. For
me, two of my favorite holidays are right around the
corner, Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving. At first glance,
many do not see the connection between Veteran’s Day
and Thanksgiving, but I believe they go hand in hand.
Thanksgiving is a special kind of holiday. It is a day,
set aside each year to pause and give thanks for all of
the blessings we have received. It is a day to be grateful for our friends, our family, and our country. In the Old
Testament God instituted the Passover, a time for Israel
to pause and consider their history. A time each year for
Israel to be reminded once again of the blessings they
had received and to see how God, who had guided their
forefathers, still guided their lives and ordered their steps.
Even in the face of oppression, this reminder of past
blessings restored hope and confidence in the future.
Similarly, the pilgrims held the first Thanksgiving
celebration to thank God for seeing them through that first
harsh winter and for the bounty of food brought by the
subsequent spring and summer. Thanksgiving is a time
for us to reflect on our past and build hope for the future.
It is a time to realize that we have not made it through
Howler | Winter 2014

another year alone. During the hard times, our faith, our
family and our friends have helped us along the way,
providing strength in our weakness. And these same
people celebrated our joys with us. As we count our many
blessings, it is right and honorable to remember our
military and give thanks for them at Thanksgiving;
however, their sacrifice entitles them to a day of their own.
The Bible tells us that there is no greater love than to
be willing to lay down your life for another (John 15:13),
and our military has embodied this from the very beginnings of our country. From the Patriots in the American
Revolution who willingly laid down their lives so that their
fellow citizens could live free from tyranny, to the Service
Members today who risk their lives to fight against
terrorism, oppression, and cruelty, our military has always
represented the very best of America.
I am grateful for the sacrifices our Service Members
have made in the past and I am thankful that so many
volunteer today and stand ready to defend the greatest
nation on earth.
I know America stands with me in honoring our military,
especially on Veterans Day, a special day of thanksgiving,
specifically set aside to honor all who have served. May
God continue to bless our nation and protect our military
around the world as they serve the cause of peace.

FHL Qualified Recycling Program
WHAT IS RECYCLING?
Recycling is a key and third component of the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” waste hierarchy which comprises three elements: reduce, reuse and recycle. Unlike reducing or reusing, recycling involves the
processing of the old or used materials. The recycling process involves a series of activities, including
collecting the recyclables, sorting and processing the materials into raw materials and manufacturing
new products.
SUSTAINABILITY and NET ZERO INITIATIVE
Sustainability is a critical enabler in the performance of the Army’s mission, as its importance and
benefits across the entire Army enterprise. As a foundation, the Army is integrating sustainability into its four lines of operation- materials, military training, personnel, and services and infrastructure. By implementing sustainability principles and practices, the Army is decreasing future missions’ constraints, increasing operational flexibility and resilience, safeguarding human health and the environment,
and improving quality of life for Soldiers and local communities. Senior Leaders of today’s Army are making directed effort to embed
sustainability into the Army culture thus launching the Army Net Zero Initiative. Net Zero applies the principles of integrated design to
ensure the Army appropriately manages its energy, water and waste resources. It was built upon the Army’s long standing energy efficiency and sustainability practices.
It is a strategy for managing existing energy,
water, and solid waste programs with the goal
of exceeding minimum targets, where fiscally
responsible, to provide greater energy, water security and increase operating flexibility. The Army
took a broader approach, expanding beyond
energy to incorporate water use and solid waste
generation.
In April 2011, ASA (IE&E) piloted the Net Zero
strategy by selecting installation within each of
the target areas: energy, water and waste to
participate in the Army’s Net Zero Pilot Program.
These installations are working to achieve Net
Zero by 2020 and will become the centers of
energy and environmental excellence, showcasing best practices and demonstrating effective
resource management.
Fort Hunter Liggett is one of the pilot installations chosen for both Net Zero Energy and Net Zero Waste programs. In 2013, Lean Six
Sigma (LSS) partnered with DPWE and DFMWR to develop the Qualified Recycling Program (QRP) Oversight Committee (QOC). The
committee worked to develop policies, procedure and a business plan for the execution of a QRP in Fort Hunter Liggett. The installation
recognizes that the QRP is one of the key components to meeting the challenges of the Net Zero Waste Initiative.
The Qualified Recycling Program’s (QRP) goal is to recycle 85% of all waste and to change the culture and educate the community
of FHL to achieve the Army’s Net Zero Waste Program goals. The QRP has procured Direct Sales contracts and started selling scrap
metals, cardboard and paper. All money generated comes back to the installation. The program will be placing cardboard recycling trailers throughout the installation, collection bins in all installation buildings and housing areas for recycling of aluminum, glass, plastic and
paper, a self drop off center will be open after business hours and weekends. QRP will be conducting unit briefs pertaining to recycling
since the program’s goal is to reach out not only in the cantonment area but the FOBs as well.
We all encourage each and everyone to help us attain the Army’s Net Zero Waste Program goals. Take the Pledge:
Don’t Throw It Away, Recycle for Another Day!

Mission San Antonio de Padua
Established 1771
1771 Padre Junipero Serra entered the Valley of the Oaks to establish the third
mission in California. The date was July 14, 1771. In the secluded sierra district,
Padres Junipero Serra, Miguel Pieras and Buenaventura Sitjar hung the bells
on the branches of an oak tree and named this mission San Antonio de Padua.
Fr. Pieras and Sitjar were left with a small group to start the Mission. They start
by building small dwellings and plant the first fields.
1773 The site of the Mission was moved from the original location to a place
farther up Los Robles Valley because of the unstable water source. At the end
of 1773 the Mission has established workshops, a small church and dwellings
established at the new site. The construction was of adobe brick. Some houses
of tulles and wood were set up to accommodate the soldiers and converts who
now numbered about 163. It was also the year of the first marriage celebrated in
Alta, California between Juan Maria Ruiz and
Margaretta de Cortona.
1775 Small adobe buildings were constructed for the church, store rooms and
the padre's rooms.
1779 Second church structure was built along with a small sacristy.
1781 Three more small rooms were built, along with the roofing,
using tiles. Serra writes, "thus far San Antonio triumphs, especially with its roofing of tiles." No more reports were given on building developments until 1794.
1804 Padres Padro Cabot and Juan Bautista Sancho arrived at San Antonio. Fr. Sancho was known for having a strong and agreeable voice and
taught both Gregorian chant and figured music. The reports for the year noted that a cemetery was laid out, 153 x 125 ft., surrounded by a high thick
wall of stone, topped with adobe.
1806 A water-powered gristmill was constructed to grind the Mission grain. The millhouse was two-storied, the lower section housing the water
wheel and the upper portion the millstones and a storeroom. The reservoir, millrace and stone masonry of the mill remain intact; the water wheel and
mill house have been restored.
1808 A Structure of 165 x 37 ft was built for storing lumber. A tannery was constructed, having four tanks covered with tiles. This can still be seen
out by the water-mill. A ditch was extended to irrigate the fields close by.
1810 The 3rd and final church structure was started. Known as the Great Church, the structure ceiling consisted of large timbers that were floated
down the mountains on the water of the San Antonio River. It measured 200 feet long and 40 feet wide, with adobe walls approximately 6 feet thick.
It is finally blessed in the year 1813. It is the same church building, which stands reconstructed today. A horse-powered mill was constructed for
grinding wheat.
1815 A large building 224 ft long was built, with thick walls and 20 ft wide inside. This was partitioned with adobe to provide shops for the weaving
room, a room for carding and spinning, a workshop, storage for iron implements and tools, leather a carpenter shop and a stable. A corridor was attached to two sides of the patio formed by the four wings, with pillars partly of adobe and partly of brick and mortar. The old granary walls were raised
by five adobes and the wooden beams and roof were renewed. Pigs, corn and flour were exchanged for iron to make needed tools.

Marianne Bush
1817 There were no supplies that year from Mexico. Heavy rains
washed the cattle corral away and it had to be rebuilt The corridor
floors of the quadrangle were paved with brick. A house of adobe,
covered with tiles, was erected for the vineyardist. This stood until
1906 and old photos show it in near collapse. It was excavated by
the Archaeological Summer School from Cal Poly University over the
semesters of 1985 to 1986.
1821 An archway is built to the portico of the ‘Great Church’. This
façade stands 12 feet from the front wall with three arched openings,
the middle being the largest. On each side above, are square towers
topped by cupolas, bell towers.
1834 The beginning of the period of secularization. San Antonio
becomes government property. Governor Figueroa on
November 4, 1834 issued the final proclamation that took Mission
San Antonio from the mission padres and placed the entire establishment
under civil jurisdiction. At this time, the mission began to fall into a state of neglect.
1851 Fr. Doroteo Ambris, a young priest who came as seminarian from Mexico, first comes out from Monterey and then takes up residence at San
Antonio. A few Indian families live at the Mission with him.
1863 On May 31, the U.S. Land Commission formally returns Mission property to the Church. San Antonio received title to 33 acres. The degree is
signed by Abraham Lincoln.
1882--83 Fr. Ambris dies at the Mission and is buried in the sanctuary of the Church. The Mission is abandoned. Tiles are taken from the roof.
Exposed to the weather, the walls crumble. Only the walls of the church itself still stand, along with the brick façade and the row of brick arches along
the front corridor.
1903--08 The California Landmark League rebuilt parts of the church walls and covered it with a wooden roof. An earthquake in 1906 destroyed
much of what they had done, but the project was begun over again. A local Indian family, the Encinales, assisted in the restoration.
1928 The Franciscans are invited to take back ministry at Mission San Antonio through residence at Mission San Miguel.
1939--40 The United States Army acquires the surrounding area from Randolph Hearst to establish the Hunter-Liggett Military Reservation and
train troops during the second World War.
1948--52 The Mission’s Reconstruction by the Franciscans is complete by 1952 and it is used as a Brothers Training School for the Province of
Santa Barbara.
1971 On July 14, the 200th anniversary "Bi-Centennial" of Mission San Antonio's founding was celebrated.
2005 was the year of transition in which the Franciscan Friars turned over the caretaking to the Diocese of Monterey, the owners of the Mission.
The Diocese continues to host group retreats, maintain a gift shop and serve as an active Catholic parish. There are four annual fundraisers each
year to raise the money necessary for the upkeep of the Mission buildings and grounds. A beautiful museum is located in the front section of the
quadrangle of the main building. A tour through the museum is self explanatory, with a donation of $5.00 per adult and $3.00 for child requested.
Non-flash photography and video recording are welcome. The grounds outside offer a realistic example of life in the mission days, with signs to read
at places of interest. There are picnic grounds with tables under the shade trees to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of our secluded area.
