COMMUNITY NEWS
SUGGESTION BOX AT CITY HALL
“Customer Service Survey Card”
When visiting City Hall, please take a moment to
complete a Customer Service Survey Card, as we are
always looking for ways to improve our customer
service skills. The suggestion box is located near the
southeast customer service counter at City Hall. And,
yes, we also like to hear if you’re pleased with the
service you received by one of our staff.
DROP BOX – Reminder
The drop box for depositing after-hours utility
payments is located at the Pearl Street parking lot exit.
PARENTS AND CHILDREN:
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
One of the toughest helmet laws in the
country took effect January 1, 2003.
Beginning January 1, 2003, skateboarders,
in-line skaters, and scooter riders under age
18 are required to wear helmets EVERY time
they roll. Those who are caught not wearing
a helmet may receive a $25 ticket. The law
applies to public streets and bikeways. The
helmets must meet minimum standards
established by the Consumer Product
Safety Commission, www.cpsc.gov.
BICYCLE RULES OF THE ROAD
Please protect yourself in traffic:
• Always ride on the right, and go with the flow of traffic,
never against it.
• Maintain a straight line while riding, change direction
without swerving, and use hand signals.
• Obey all of the traffic laws that cars do.
• Pay attention to everything. Use your eyes and ears as
warning devices, alerting you to hazards in time to take
action.
• Safely assert yourself in traffic. Don’t let vehicles push you
into parked cars or the curb. You have a legal right to a
lane, so take as much as you need for safety.
• Ride defensively. Always look for cars pulling out in front
of you, or from the side street or turning left in front of
you.
• Be visible. Wear bright colors and put reflectors and
reflective tape on your bicycle.
• Shout if you are in danger to alert inattentive drivers or
pedestrians.
STREET LIGHT PROBLEMS
Please report all street light problems to
Southern California Edison at (800) 611-1911.
Have available the pole number and/or nearest
address to the streetlight when you call.
www.sce.com/Onc/StreetLightOutage.aspx
IS A PERMIT REQUIRED?
Do you ever wonder if the improvements you plan for your
home require building permits? The Building Code states
if you plan to “erect, construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move,
improve, remove, convert or demolish” any portion of your
property you may need a permit. So, if you answer “yes”
to any of the above, check first with the City before you
proceed.
Here are just a few of the common improvements routinely
done to a home that do require permits.
A Permit is required for:
• Patio Covers and/or Enclosures – Re-roof.
• Sheds (if more than 120 sq. ft. or over
8 ft. high). Must meet setbacks.
• Pools and Spas.
• Water Heater (replacement or
relocation).
• Window Replacement, Garage
Doors.
• Retaining Walls, Block Walls and all Fences.
• Room Additions or Alterations;
Re-plumb or Re-piping.

improvement and repair projects.

COMMUNITY NEWS
NO DOGS ARE ALLOWED ON THE BEACH
For the health and safety of both
humans and dogs, please keep your
dogs off the beach!
The City of Port Hueneme does
not permit dogs on the beach.
Transmission of infection occurs
when a person, often a child who
likes to play in the sand, comes
directly into contact with animal
feces, which carries a host of
infectious organisms. Just walking
barefoot on the sand that has been
contaminated can lead to infection and transmission of
hookworms to humans.
And your dogs are not immune to health problems
as a result of romping on the beach. They may ingest
contaminated sand – and can become infected with
parasites by coming into contact with dead sea animals or
birds. Also, parvo is a common (and deadly) disease that
your animal can contract as a result of contact with dead sea
animals on the beach.
MOTOR HOMES
Motor homes/vehicles over 6,000 pounds
restricted from parking on public streets:
Section 3241(h) of the Port Hueneme
Municipal Code restricts any vehicle over
6,000 pounds from being on a street
other than an approved truck route
(Hueneme Road, Ventura Road and
Channel Islands Blvd.).
Should you be using your motorhome
or trailer, you may have a 72-hour parking grace period
both before and after the usage. We do ask that you call
the Parking Office at 986-6573 in advance to let the officers
know of the dates the vehicle will be on the street.
Other than loading and unloading, a vehicle/trailer over
6,000 pounds must be parked elsewhere. Questions
regarding this may be directed to the Code Compliance
Manager at 986-6513.
Farmers’ Market
The City’s first certified Farmers’ Market will open every
Saturday, rain or shine, from 10 am to 2 pm beginning
late spring or early summer at the City’s Fishing Pier parking
lot located at 550 E. Surfside Drive.
Raw Inspiration, headquartered in Calabasas, has agreed
to manage the market, adding to its many operations in the
Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange County areas. Vendor
booths will include a mix of fresh farm fruits and vegetables;
prepackaged nuts, fresh fish, grass fed beef, honey, hummus,
cheeses, etc.; handmade artisans or “green” crafts, cut

Home Maintenance Incentive
Rebate Program
The mission of the Home
Maintenance Incentive
Rebate Program
(“HMIRP”) is to provide
financial incentives in the
form of cash grants to
stimulate preservation
of the housing stock
in the City’s mature
neighborhoods, to
eradicate substandard housing conditions, and to eliminate
and prevent slums and blighting influences.
Who is eligible to participate?
Owners of eligible properties who undertake certain
improvements in accordance with the City’s Neighborhood
Preservation Program Guidelines are eligible to participate.
Eligible properties are those located within the City’s
Neighborhood Strategy Area. The 92 single-family homes
in the Bolker Park area are also eligible. Properties must be
at least ten years old and cannot be a part of a planned unit
development or governed by a homeowner’s association.
How much cash can I receive under HMIRP?
The amount of each rebate is a percentage of verified
eligible expenditures as follows:
High-Income Owner-Occupant 10%
(minimum rebate)
Moderate-Income Owner-Occupant 20%
(income documentation required)
Low-Income Owner-Occupant 30%
(income documentation required)
Investor-Owner20%
Submission of income information is optional. Applicants who
do not wish to disclose their income information may take the
minimum rebate of 10%. In an effort to assist special needs
groups in improving their living conditions, rebates to owneroccupants may be increased by 5% if the head of household is
elderly, disabled, or a single parent.
How many rebates can I receive?
An applicant may receive more than one rebate until the
applicant has spent $20,000 on eligible home improvements.
There is a lso a minimum expenditure requirement of $500
per rebate.
What are the steps involved in obtaining an HMIRP grant?
There are four key steps involved in the process.
1. Submit an HMIRP application before commencing work.
What is an eligible property improvement?
Eligible work under HMIRP is limited to exterior improvements
visible from the public right-of-way, which will enhance the
exterior appearance of the property. Stucco, roofing, exterior
painting, windows, garage doors, driveways, landscaping, and
fences are all examples of eligible improvements. Patios, spas,
fireplaces, and room additions are not eligible, as they do
not constitute rehabilitation of the original dwelling. HMIRP
operates as an incentive; therefore, property improvements
that correct code violations and deferred property
maintenance (if applicable) must be completed in order to
qualify for rebate funding.
2. Schedule a preliminary exterior inspection of the property
with HMIRP staff. At the inspection, you will be advised in
writing of the particular conditions under which the City
will disburse a rebate for improvements on the property.
In some cases, the City may require correction of other
deficiencies if they will not be addressed in the course of
the work you have already planned.
What is an eligible expenditure under HMIRP?
Eligible expenses include all materials, permits, and rental
equipment necessary to complete the eligible improvements.
Labor expenses are also eligible provided the contractor or
business holds a valid City of Port Hueneme business license.
Labor performed by the owner, a relative of the owner,
or a member of the owner’s household is not an eligible
expenditure. Property owners manage their HMIRP projects.
The City is not involved in approving contractors, monitoring
the quality of workmanship, or paying laborers or contractors.
How can I get an HMIRP application?
For an application and additional information, please
contact:
3. Spend a minimum of $500 on HMIRP-eligible work
and complete all required work within 120 days of the
preliminary inspection.
4. Present written receipts for eligible expenses upon
completion of work.

Affordable
Rental Housing
The City of Port Hueneme owns several duplexes, apartments,
townhomes, and single-family dwellings consisting of either one
or two bedrooms. The units are available for rent on a monthto-month basis, at below-market rents, to qualified individuals
and families whose household income is classified as very low,
low, or moderate income. Priority is given to applicants who
live or work full time in Port Hueneme. Please contact the Port
Hueneme Housing Authority at (805) 986-6527 if you would
like additional information or to inquire about availability.
Residential Rehabilitation
Loan Program
Two types of loans are available to address deferred
maintenance issues and to undertake general property
improvements. These loans do not require a monthly
payment.
• Equity Share loans are available to owner-occupants and
investor-owners for interior and exterior improvements.
The maximum amount of an Equity Share loan is
governed by the size of the home and the owner’s
available equity. Interest is based on a percentage of
the increase in property value after rehabilitation. Low
and moderate-income owners may qualify for gradual
interest forgiveness over the 30-year term of the loan.
• Curb Appeal loans are designed to assist low and
moderate-income owner-occupants with more modest
rehabilitation needs. Up to $25,000 can be borrowed
for exterior home improvements. Cost-effective energy
and water conservation measures such as tankless water
heaters, insulation, and dual-flush toilets are also eligible.
This loan carries a 3% simple interest rate and a
30-year term.
Please call Jennifer Arriola (Department of Community
Development) at 986-6552 to request an application or to
obtain additional information about the programs.

PROPER DISPOSAL OF NEEDLES
& EXPIRED MEDICINE
Improper disposal of used “sharps”
(needles, syringes and lancets) can
injure children, home healthcare
providers, sanitation workers and pets
though accidental “sticks”. Expired
medicine should not be thrown away
or flushed down the drain for safety
and environmental reasons. There is a safe
solution!
Bring your used sharps and your expired medications to the
lobby at the Port Hueneme Police Department located at
City Hall, 250 N. Ventura Road. Two large bins have been
provided for convenient and proper disposal.

Living Green
Stop Stormwater Pollution
There are many small improvements to make your home
more friendly to the environment that won’t cost a lot of
money. Small changes at home can translate to big savings in
energy and dollars.
Some examples:
Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs
This Curb Sign is a Reminder
Storm drains convey runoff from your neighborhood to the
nearest body of water. Contrary to popular belief, storm
drains do not carry storm water to wastewater treatment
plants – storm drains lead directly to our streams, beaches
and the ocean.
Pollutants can be carried by runoff from every street,
parking lot, sidewalk, driveway, yard and garden. Examples
of types of these pollutants are:
• Sediment
• Pet Wastes
• Pesticides
• Fertilizer
• Automobile Fluids (oil, grease, antifreeze)
• Grass Clippings, Leaves, and other Yard Waste
• Construction Materials (paints, concrete, thinners,
drywall compound)
• Trash (cups, wrappers, bags, cigarette butts,
plastic bottles)
Everyone can make a difference by doing small things such
as: picking up after your pets, using alternative pesticides
and fertilizers, regular automobile maintenance, and proper
disposal of construction materials and trash. Let’s all help
make our environment and our community a cleaner place
to live.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more
about how to help prevent storm water pollution,
please contact the Wastewater Division at 986-6661
or visit the Ventura County Watershed Protection
District on-line at www.vcstormwater.org
or visit www.cleanwatershed.org.
Changing ten 60-watt bulbs in your home
will save on average more than $373 over
the life of the new bulbs and prevent more
than 1,700 pounds of carbon emissions.
Changing ten bulbs of 100 watts will save
more than $622 and prevent almost 3,000
pounds of carbon emissions.
Appliances
Energy-efficient appliances can
save $80 a year for the average
homeowner who spends $1,900
on power bills. If one in ten homes
switched to Energy Star-rated
appliances, it would be the same as planting 1.7
million acres of trees. For example, a new Energy Star-rated
refrigerator uses 40% less energy than a traditional one
from 2001.
Heat & Air Conditioning
A programmable thermostat set 8
degrees lower in winter and 4 degrees
higher in summer for eight hours during
the day and 10 hours at night will save
the average family $150 a year.
Water Heating
Turning down your water heater by 20
degrees can save as much as 10% in energy
costs. Many water heater thermostats are
preset to 140 degrees even though most
households need hot water only at 115
degrees to 120 degrees. Each 10-degree
reduction in water temperature will save
homeowners 3% to 5% in energy costs.

YOU CAN’T FLUSH THIS!
Indiscriminate flushing can cause high plumber’s
bills, clogged pipes and harm to aquatic life.
The toilet is a magical trashcan. Simply toss, flush, and your
garbage is marvelously whooshed away to some watery
subterranean netherworld, never to be seen again.
Or so we like to think.
In fact, such practices clog toilets, damage water treatment
facilities, necessitate expensive cleanups, increase water
and sewer bills, create raw sewage overflows, harm marine
animals and create toxic environmental issues.
When you use your toilet, shower, sinks, washing machine
and dishwasher, wastewater leaves your home through
pipes that connect to the city sewer system. Many materials
frequently flushed down the drain can harm the pipes that
connect to the sewer system as well as the homeowner’s
system. Putting the wrong things down the drain can damage
the sewer system and cause sewer backups in your home.
The “Dont” List:
1. “Flushable” Wipes
2. Prescription Medication
don’t get clogged!
Fats, oils and grease (FOG) separate
from other liquids as it goes down
your drain. The FOG cools and sticks
to household pipes and sewer pipes.
Over time, pipes become clogged and
wastewater flow becomes restricted.
The clogged pipes back up and flood
your home with wastewater. Or, it
causes wastewater to overflow onto
the street. The untreated wastewater
can then flow to local waterways. Sewer
overflows can harm the environment. Not only is FOG costly
to the environment, it is also costly to ratepayers.
What Are the Proper Methods for Disposing of
Fats, Oils, and Grease in the Kitchen?
Proper Disposal is Easy!
1. Fats, oils and grease should never be poured down the
sink. Sink drains and garbage disposals are not designed
to properly handle these materials.
2. Before washing, scrape and dry wipe pots, pans and
dishes with paper towels and dispose of materials in the
trash. Use sink strainers to catch food items, then empty
into the trash.
3. Pour fats, oils and grease after it has cooled into a
container, such as an empty glass jar or coffee can. Once
the container is full, secure the lid and place it in the trash.
4. Clean oil (strained with food particles removed) may be
brought to Clean Harbors Environments Services free of
charge to Port Hueneme residents.
3. Cotton Balls, Swabs, or any Personal Care Item
4. Cigarette Butts
5. Cat Litter
None of these items degrade and all them cause clogging
and backups in the nation’s sewer systems. This is costing
millions of dollars to dispatch crews to unclog pipes, pumps,
and replace machinery. They also cause expensive plumbing
problems for the homeowner and even sewer backups into
the residence. Some of them contain toxic chemicals that
don’t belong in our water system.
There is only ONE thing that should be flushed down a
toilet – TOILET PAPER! Doing otherwise causes everyone to
pay higher water and sewer bills and harms the environment.

MANDATORY COMMERCIAL
RECYCLING REGULATIONS
The State of California has made business
recycling a requirement in newly enacted
legislation (AB 341). As of July 1, 2012,
all businesses that generate 4 cubic
yards or more of trash per week and all
multifamily complexes with five or more
units (regardless of how much trash they
generate) will be required to recycle.
The threshold for compliance is
determined by solid waste service capacity, and does not
take into account whether or not the dumpster is actually
filled on a weekly basis. Businesses sharing trash service that
meet this threshold must recycle even if they individually do
not generate 4 cubic yards of waste.
Businesses include firms, partnerships, corporations,
non-profit entities, strip malls (property complexes containing
two or more commercial entities), industrial facilities, schools,
colleges, universities and government facilities.
If your business does not already subscribe to commercial
recycling service, the City of Port Hueneme’s Solid Waste
Division can help guide you through the transition. Free
business waste evaluations are available to help determine the
appropriate service level and get you started. In many cases
adding recycling service can reduce your overall trash bill.
For questions about your company’s current service
levels, or to schedule a free solid waste evaluation, call
(805) 986-6663.
For information about Household Hazardous Waste Collection call (805) 987-0717.

Keeping our City looking special requires
cooperation and effort on the part of our

• New Year’s Day
The street sweeper does not sweep in the rain. If there is
drizzle, chances are the sweeper will be coming around.
However, anything heavier usually prevents the sweeper
from performing its duties.
Remember, it’s always best to phone City Hall at 986-6500
if you’re not sure street sweeping is being enforced. You
may also call if you anticipate a problem with parking on
your assigned street sweeping day. Just phone in prior to
– 24 –
your posted time and provide the vehicle make, color and
license number as well as the reason the vehicle cannot be
removed from the street, and we will get the information
to the Parking Enforcement Officer.
If you have a sweeper related complaint:
• Street did not get swept
• Sweeper causing too much dirt
• Sweeper is driving too fast
Email [email protected] and provide:
• Date and time of occurence
• Location
• Your contact information (optional)

GREENWASTE
WHY COMPOST?
To meet state requirements, the City initiated
a program to divert yard clippings and other
greenwaste from the landfill. The greenwaste
is converted into mulch that is used to
enhance soil and improve plant growth.
• It’s easy!
• It reduces the amount of waste you bring to
the curb!
Residents are requested and encouraged to
utilize mulching blades on lawn mowers if possible.
Mulching mowers reduce grass cuttings, leave less to
dispose, and keep the nutrients on your lawn. As of
July 1, 2014, homeowners can reserve a green waste
container for $17.14. (Thursday drop off; Monday pick
up) by contacting the Solid Waste Division at 986-6650. A
limited number of containers are available weekly, so please
schedule early. Misused containers contaminated with dirt,
trash, bags, palm fronds or nails in wood will be subject to
an additional charge of $104.94. If you have any questions,
or desire this service, please call 986-6650.
Landscape Contractors are required, by City Ordinance,
to divert and deposit their greenwaste at a certified
recycling facility.
Prices subject to change without notice.
• Composting returns rich organic material from
your kitchen and garden into usable compost!
• Composting improves the quality of your soil!
For more information, please call the
Solid Waste Division at 986-6550.

Water Conservation Message
Water conservation is not only a shared
responsibility of the City of Port Hueneme and
its residents, but a key part of an integrated
resource strategy to ensure Port Hueneme’s
customers continue to have enough water
to meet their needs. As water becomes
increasingly scarce, public agencies, businesses
and water managers are looking for new and
sustainable ways to resolve water supply concerns.
With the cost of water and sewer services on the rise, water
conservation is just another way that you can help protect the
environment and save money. Whether you use water wisely
or waste it, we still pay for every drop. By conserving water,
you can save on other services. When less hot water is used,
less energy is required to heat the water, thereby decreasing
electric and gas bills. When you use less water, less water
goes down the sewer drain which helps hold down sewer
processing costs. Water conservation is quite simple and
something we should all get into the habit of doing.
Often, we do not appreciate what is abundant and easy to
obtain. We turn on the faucet at any time of the day and
water is there, ready for our use. But have you ever wondered
where this water is coming from? It doesn’t just automatically
appear. Treated water has to be carefully manufactured. It is
only available in your home after it has gone through a lengthy
treatment process and traveled through miles of underground
pipelines.
Each of us will be better prepared for the next drought if
we take action now by retrofitting high-water-using fixtures,
appliances, equipment, and landscapes. When droughts
occur, it seems to bring out the water conservationist in all
of us. By practicing efficient water usage, it will reduce the
amount of stress that we place on our resources. When we
conserve water, it minimizes the wear and tear on major
infrastructure such as water and wastewater treatment plants,
as well as distribution systems which deliver water.
The City of Port Hueneme has taken the steps to reduce
water consumption by participating with the Metropolitan
Water District and the Family of Southern California Water
Agencies to provide outreach programs to help educate
the public on the importance of water conservation. By
participating in this program, you can help reduce water
consumption while experiencing minimal lifestyle changes.
For updated conservation information and rebate programs
please visit www.bewaterwise.com. Furthermore, water
conservation will not only help your children become
responsible environmental citizens, but it also helps to ensure
an adequate water supply. However, it is only when each of us
embraces and applies effective water conservation measures,
that the City can be successful in meeting its long-term water
supply goals.

UNDERSTANDING THE
WATER CONSERVATION ORDINANCE
The City of Port Hueneme has recently completed the
installation of water meters citywide, which will allow for the
measurement of water use at specific locations. In addition,
the City has begun to initiate an official water conservation
program similar to the efforts of other cities in our region.
This ordinance addresses water conservation and the
wasteful activities (not the use of water) to help limit the
impacts of our water supplies.
The following items have become a permanent requirement
of the water conservation ordinance:
• Prohibit landscape watering between 9 am and 5 pm on
any day except if watering is done with a hand-held hose.
• Limit the watering duration while using a landscape
irrigation system to 15 minutes per station.
• Prohibit excessive water runoff.
• Prohibit washing down of paved areas except for safety
and sanitary reasons.
• Require plumbing or irrigation line leaks and breaks to
be repaired.
• Require water fountains to use re-circulated water.
• Limits washing of vehicles to be done using a hand-held
bucket or hand-held hose equipped with a positive selfclosing water shutoff nozzle.
• Requires patrons to request water at eating establishments.
• Requires lodging establishments to provide the option to
their customers for daily linen services.
• Requires food preparation establishments from using
non-water conserving dish wash spray valves.
Included in the ordinance are provisions to incorporate
additional restrictions (Levels) if needed as water supplies
continue to decrease: Levels 1, 2 and 3 (exhibit A) include
additional consumer demand water reduction measures.
To address any hardships resulting from the water supply
shortages, procedures have been included to provide a
process for review.
A public outreach effort will be initiated to inform residents
and commercial establishments of the new requirements
related to the water conservation ordinance. The City will
send out notices of the ordinance and provide enforcement
as needed to the abuser of our water supplies.
The passing of this ordinance will ensure that all available
rebates, conservation resources and grant funds offered
by the State and the Metropolitan Water District are made
available to the City’s customers.
A copy of the ordinance is available at
www.ci.port-hueneme.ca.us. In addition, the
Water Division is available to answer any questions you
may have regarding the ordinance. Call 986-6563.

DIRECT PAY PROGRAM
FOR CITIZENS’ UTILITY BILLS
What are some advantages of direct pay?
Your bill gets paid automatically, on time, whether you are
at home or out of town. You never have to worry about
penalties. You never have to write a check.
How does direct pay work?
Once direct pay is implemented for your account, you will
continue to receive your itemized bi-monthly utility bill.
It will read: “DO NOT PAY” on the right-hand side of the
Remittance Stub. Fifteen (15) days after the billing date,
your checking account will automatically be debited for all
current charges shown on your bill. Of course, you can still
call the City if you ever have questions about your bill.
Who is eligible to be part of Direct Pay?
Direct Pay is open to all residential and business customers.
Your City of Port Hueneme utility account must have no past
due amounts on the account and include a history of no more
than one returned check in the last twelve month period.
What does it cost?
There is no charge from the City of Port Hueneme to
participate. However, some financial institutions may charge
a transaction fee for electronic fund transfers. Please check
with your bank regarding any possible fees.
After I’m enrolled, how do I change
information on my enrollment?
It is critical that you immediately notify the City of Port
Hueneme regarding any changes (bank account information,
address, etc.) Inaccurate information may result in payments
being refused by your financial institution. The City cannot
be responsible for losses, including late penalties applied
to your account, which result from inaccurate information or
failure to provide timely notification of changes.
What happens in the event of a rejected payment?
Payments may be rejected by your financial institution
because of insufficient funds, closed/unauthorized accounts,
or other reasons. Check with your financial institution for any
fees it may impose. If your payment is rejected, the City will
charge a $25 processing fee; $35 for a subsequent rejection.
This is the same fee charged for returned checks. The City
reserves the right to terminate your participation in the
Direct Pay program if your payment is rejected more than
twice within a twelve month period.
How do I stop being a part of Direct Pay?
You may cancel your participation at any time by calling
customer service at (805) 986-6524 Monday through Friday
8 am to 5 pm. Termination will be effective no later than ten
(10) business days after we receive your notification. Go to
www.cityofporthueneme.org to learn how to pay your bills
online.

ADULT & YOUTH PROGRAMS
free chess lessons in port hueneme
The City of Port Hueneme is
offering a class to introduce the
game of Chess to children and
adults.
Chess is one of the most
powerful educational tools
available to strengthen a child’s
mind. It’s fairly easy to learn
how to play. Most six or seven
year olds can follow the basic
rules. Some kids as young as
four or five can play. Just like
learning a language or music,
an early start can help a child become more proficient.
Whatever a child’s age, chess can enhance concentration,
patience, and perseverance, as well as develop creativity,
intuition, memory, and most importantly, the ability to
analyze and deduce from a set of general principles,
learning to make tough decisions and solve problems
flexibly.
Chess is a test of patience, nerves, willpower and
concentration. It enhances your ability to interact with
other people. It tests your sportsmanship in a competitive
environment. Chess improves schoolwork and grades.
Numerous studies have shown that children obtain a higher
reading level, math level and a greater learning ability
overall as a result of playing chess, thus increasing their
overall self-esteem. Chess opens up the world for your
child. It is a universal language. Most tournaments welcome
players of all abilities. Chess enables you to meet many
interesting people and encourages you make new friends.
All necessary materials are provided by the City of
Port Hueneme.

The City of Port Hueneme is offering virtual
bowling for seniors age 50 and over. The
Nintendo Wii game system uses a motion
sensor controller that allows players to mimic
the movement involved in bowling from a

”It’s fabulous fun,” said a senior center member who
played the Wii for the first time. ”I’m actually moving and
standing. I bowled such a long time ago, and this is a great way
to keep going.”
Wii Bowling is becoming one of the most popular activities
at senior centers across the country. The City sends a team
to the annual Ventura County Wii Bowling Tournament in
Camarillo. The light exercise, without having to roll a heavy
ball, is attractive for all older adults who want to continue to
be active in a fun, social atmosphere.
The City of Port Hueneme provides this program as part of an
