Pledging to build on his predecessor's legacy of de-livering proven warfighter capabilities, a new admiraltook the reins of leadership for the Program ExecutiveOffice for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons,known as PEO(U&W ) during a change-of-commandceremony July 20 at NAS Patuxent River.

Former commander of the Naval Air Warfare CenterWeapons Division base in China Lake/Point Mugu,Calif., Rear Adm. Mathias Winter replaced Rear Adm.Bill Shannon as the new program executive officer forPEO(U&W ) during the ceremony.

Winter said he was inheriting the organization dur-ing daunting times, but had a vision for success,which focused on keeping the warfighter first and"bridging the 'technical' to the 'tactical.'"

"Still at war, our nation faces daunting challengesacross the political, military, economic, social, infor-mational, infrastructure domains," Winter said. "Butwe have a plan to tackle these challenges. This year,during this tour, my focus for PEO(U&W ) builds uponthat bridging and my strategic framework of people,organization and programs."

For Shannon, who had overseen the program officefor four years, the ceremony was also a platform to markhis retirement from the Navy after 37 years of service.He was responsible for supporting 100 percent of the to-tal unmanned naval aviation inventory, as well as all air-launched naval precision and strike weapons. Under hisleadership, PEO(U&W ) programs delivered more than1,800 new unmanned aircraft into the DoD inventory

and more than 134,000 air-delivered weapons."Admiral Shannon and his team have maintained a

razor-sharp focus on what the fleet needed, and theyhave worked tirelessly to deliver it-with sound judg-ment, uncompromising technical conscience, and aunique talent for understanding the acquisition envi-ronment and leveraging it to get things done for ourwarfighters, operating forward so that they could beready," said Vice Adm. David Architzel, NAVAIR com-mander, who was the guest speaker at the ceremony.

Architzel also recognized Winter for his accom-plishments and added, "You have worked diligentlythroughout your career, and I cannot think of a morequalified person to assume command. As AdmiralShannon can attest, the sky is the limit in U&W, and Iwish you great success in every endeavor."

Winter's previous tours at NAVAIR include deputyprogram manager for the Tactical Tomahawk All-Up-Round development program; chief of staff for PEOTactical Aircraft (T); and Precision Strike Weapons, orPMA-201, program manager.

"As a former standout PM of one of the largest pro-gram offices within this PEO, the NAVAIR WeaponsCenter commander and the test lead for NAVAIR, Matis uniquely qualified for this job," Shannon said. "Henot only brings a wealth of experience but also a highlevel of energy and enthusiasm for this portfolio."

In his new role, Winter will manage a total obliga-tion authority of more than $46 billion and lead aworkforce of more than 3,800 people.

"I'm committed to providing sound, effective andproactive leadership that will ensure expeditious, ef-fective decisions are made to keep our programs mov-

It's not unusual for fire and emer-gency medical services personnel toget training in a second language, be-cause knowing even a few foreignwords and phrases can help a lot whenthey're trying to help people througha crisis.

"You often see people get trainingin generic Spanish, maybe Korean ifyou're on the West Coast," said FireChief Chris Connelly, Naval DistrictWashington/NAS Patuxent River Dis-trict Fire Chief.

Here at Pax River, 40 emergencyservices personnel received secondlanguage training in American SignLanguage, a class led by the Interpret-ing Services Office, a component ofNaval Air Warfare Center - Aircraft Di-vision Equal Employment Opportuni-ty.

The Interpreting Services Office'sLora Cheah, Lisette Madalena, KaraRussell and Candace Strayer providedthe one-hour instruction to each fire-house shift July 16 and 17.

While the class taught the emer-gency personnel a few basic signs for

words such as "help," "hurt" and"medicine," Cheah said, the traineesalso asked the trainers to teach themwords they use often at emergencyscenes, such as "allergic."

However, the focus wasn't to turnemergency personnel into sign-lan-

guage interpreters, Cheah said.Rather, the sessions emphasized

recognizing when someone encoun-tered in an emergency situation is deafor hard of hearing, and what the most

When you're thirsty, nothingquenches like a good drink of water.Those who are drinking water on the in-stallation can be assured the water com-ing from the water fountains is safe.

This is the essence of the annualNAS Patuxent River 2011 Consumer'sConfidence Report on drinking waterquality.

Released June 25, the report sum-marizes the results of water testingthroughout the 2011 calendar year asmandated by the Environmental Pro-tection Agency under a 1996 amend-ment to the Safe Drinking Water Act.

Available to the public both as a hardcopy and online, the "constantly evolv-ing" report sometimes needs context tomake sense, said Denis Gonda, pro-gram manager for safe drinking waterat NAS Patuxent River.

Each CCR has a narrative section toaddress special topics and areas of con-cern. These include the source of thewater, special precautions, water as-sessment and availability, drinking wa-ter and contaminants, and additionalinformation on substances which arefound in drinking water.

According to Gonda, the presence ofarsenic, a chemical element frequentlyfound in most drinking water, is a com-mon concern. Although it soundsthreatening, arsenic is also found insmall amounts in other beverages, suchas apple juice, according to the U.S.Food and Drug Administration. Fur-

thermore, the 2011 CCR shows levelsfound in the station's drinking water arewell below the state-mandated limit of0.010 micrograms per liter.

The process of meticulous watertesting and data assessment that goesinto creating the CCR each year is whathas kept the installation water systemin good shape for more than 12 years,without a single drinking-water associ-ated disease outbreak or illness.

During his 26 years of service, Gon-da frequently has had to address ques-tions about installation water quality.

The long weekendQQuestionuestion: Sometimes after a long

weekend, the first drink out of a waterfountain can taste a little off.Why is that?

GondaGonda: The change in taste, if thereis any, may be from the absence ofmovement of water throughout the

pipes, which is perfectly safe. Let thewater run for a few moments.What maylook like metal shavings [in the water] isactually light reflecting off of oxygenbubbles, which is completely safe. Thebubbles accumulate due to the water'ssedentary period."

Tap water is better for youQQuestionuestion:Which is better, bottled or

tap water?GondaGonda: The tap water the govern-

ment provides for its employees meetsall state and federal requirements.Waterfrom different places and sources hasdifferent tastes; this has nothing to dowith quality. In fact, bottled water doesnot have the same regulations imposedupon it and doesn't have to meet tapwater requirements. You're better offwith tap water.

Testing the waters:Pax tap makes the grade

Bottled water doesn't have to meet tap water requirements anddoesn't have the same regulations imposed upon it.

It takes the right elements to create a life-saving ca-pability for the combat zone, as discovered after the firstcargo resupply unmanned aerial system, or CRUAS, de-ployment made aviation history.

Naval Air Systems Command, the Marine Corps andindustry partners found the right mix when they inte-grated a video game controller, rugged laptop and aKMAX K-2000 commercial, heavy-lift helicopter con-verted to a UAS, with a fast-track contracting and tech-nical strategy. They then deployed a Marine detachmentwith Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Squadron (VMU) 1 totest it in Afghanistan from December 2011 through May2012.

The result was a capability that exposes fewerwarfighters to the risk of roadside improvised explosivedevices, called IEDs, and hostile fire.

"This is a great example of integration while fulfillingthe urgent needs of the warfighter," said NAVAIR Com-mander Vice Adm. David Architzel as he opened theseventh Meet the Fleet post-deployment debrief hereJuly 10. "Every time you can eliminate even a portion ofa convoy, you eliminate the possibility of someone los-ing their life from an IED on the roads."

Hosted by the Navy and Marine Corps Multi-MissionTactical Unmanned Air Systems program office (PMA-266), the Marine detachment shared their challengesand recommendations with about 350 NAVAIR employ-ees.

"We accomplished our mission, collected test dataand proved that Cargo UAS is a viable capability," saidMaj. Kyle O'Connor, officer in charge, VMU-1 Cargo De-tachment.

Its two-fold mission was to gather data and delivercargo via an external sling load.

The K-MAX is the Marines’ first unmanned heli-copter designed for resupplying troops in re-mote locations. Aviation history was madewhen Marine Unmanned Aerial VehicleSquadron 1 operated a K-MAX during its 90-minute flight Dec. 17. Today, the KMAX re-mains deployed in Afghanistan, flying missionsoperated by Unmanned Aerial VehicleSquadron 2.

With the severe storms rolling throughSouthern Maryland recently leaving behinddebris and property damages, and last year'shurricane and earthquake, it goes withoutsaying: Marylanders are no strangers to se-vere weather, and they know the importanceof being prepared. But just as important asbeing prepared is knowing when some-thing's headed our way.

NAS Pax River Emergency ManagementDirector Jerome Ray said that tuning in tolocal radio and television stations is thebest way to keep current on the approachof severe weather.

"The local news sources are the bestsources to utilize in the area," he said.

He said some people monitor SouthernMaryland-focused www.thebaynet.com.

During duty hours, Pax River personnelcan turn the AtHoc alerting notification sys-tem on their workstations, email—work orpersonal—and even text messages. Ray saidit all depends on how they set up theirAtHoc. AtHoc is a contractor that providesnetwork-based mass notifications of securi-ty and safety issues for the Department ofDefense.

With the AtHoc system, people can selectup to three avenues to be notified: email,text or phone message. AtHoc notificationswill be sent only during duty hours andwhen something that affects the installationis coming. On weekends and after dutyhours, Ray said, people should tune to theirlocal stations or check the National WeatherService website at www.weather.gov.

"Usually, when we send a message out,it triggers them to monitor the weatherthemselves so they can plan what theircourse of action will be; 'Should I leave early,

go home and batten down the hatches,'" hesaid.

Another notification system EmergencyManagement could use is Giant Voice, a sys-tem of loudspeakers located around Pax Riv-er and at Webster Outlying Field that can re-lay pre-recorded and live messages.

"You can hear the Giant Voice anywherefrom one to two miles away from the speak-er on a clear day," Ray said.

Even some areas outside of the Pax Riverand Webster fence lines can hear it too.

Both the Giant Voice and AtHoc systemrelay severe weather warnings as soon as theEmergency Management Department re-ceives notification from either the meteorol-ogists on base, the Fleet Weather Center inNorfolk or the Regional Operations Centerat the Washington Navy Yard.

Warning and watch messages offer infor-mation on what type of weather to expectand the timeframe. A warning indicates theevent will happen. A watch means condi-tions are favorable for the event to happen.

The NAS Pax River Public Affairs officealso posts weather warnings on Facebook atwww.Facebook.com/NASPaxRiver, and onthe Pax River website at http://cnic.navy.mil/Patuxent/.

The Fleet and Family Support Center of-fers free Operation Prepare kits filled withinformation from both the Navy and the St.Mary's Department of Public Safety onman-made and natural disaster prepared-ness at their location, Bldg. 2090 on BundyRoad. Ready.gov also offers information onpreparedness.

Personnel wanting to update theirAtHoc notifications should contact Ray [email protected] or Chief DamageControlman Eric Wolf at [email protected].

Staying ahead withsevere storm warnings

By Paula A. PaigeAcquisition, AIR-1.0Public Affairs Office

A longtime NAVAIR profession-al with deep roots in the logisticiancommunity was recently named asthe new deputy assistant com-mander for Acquisition, or AIR-1.0.

He subsequently moved toNAVAIR headquarters at its previ-ous location in Crystal City, Va., in1986 and began a three-year asso-ciation with the ElectronicWarfareprogram office as a logistician.

His career at NAVAIR contin-ued, and in 1988, Manich transi-tioned to the F/A-18 Program Of-fice as the Foreign Military Saleslead logistician for new businessand later became the F/A-18 Fin-land Logistics Program lead. Hewas selected as the F/A-18 Finlandprogram manager four years later.

Sometimes we get stuck in a rut. Be-cause we are creatures of habit, we caneasily find ourselves doing now what wedid yesterday, last week, last month andeven last year. It is said that the only dif-ference between who you are now andwho you will be in 10 years is the booksyou read and the people you meet. I be-lieve there's a lot of truth in this.

What are your plans for the rest of thesummer? Are you planning activities thatwill provoke you mentally, emotionallyand spiritually? If we're not careful wemay find that life is living us, instead ofour fully living life. There are some in-credible things available to us that canshake up the status quo. The trick isthinking outside of the box.

To figure out what you need to do forthe balance of this summer, you need todetermine what your passion is. Whatactivities provoke you to be your best?All too often in the hustle and bustle ourlives, our hobbies and activities fall bythe wayside. Some people like cycling,scuba diving, skydiving, hiking, sightsee-ing, nature walks .. The list is as endlessand exciting as our imagination.

Are you reading any books that chal-lenge your mind? There are many booksat the public libraries that can cause youto think about things you've never con-sidered. We often exercise our bodies butforget to stretch and challenge ourminds. Find a book that's outside of yourcomfort zone and take a month to finishit. You just might find a lifelong passionin reading.

I like what the Bible has to say about

our attitude toward life. In the book ofColossians, it states: "And whatever youdo, do it heartily, as to the Lord and notto men." The word "heartily” is a won-derful word. It means, "thoroughly, com-pletely, with zest or enthusiasm, withgreat appetite or enjoyment." Do thesewords describe your attitude toward life?God wants us to be fully engaged in ouractivities challenging our minds andbodies, and, yes, even during the sum-mer months we can accomplish thislofty goal. When we do this, we honorGod with our lives.

The challenge for this summer is tomake it one to remember. Don't getstuck doing what you did last summer.Set your goals now and work hard to ful-fill them. When we are living our lives inthis manner, we will be healthier andhappier people. And when someone asksyou this fall what you did this summer,you can respond heartily, "I had a greattime and I grew as a person!"

By Veronica MiskowskiNAVAIR's Mentoring ProgramManagement Analyst

Bill Fleming, CH-53K production inte-grated product team co-lead, became amentor for many reasons.

"I look back on my career and realize Ihave benefitted from some great mentor-ing," he said. "I know coming in cold toNAVAIR from a life of deployments can be adaunting and confusing experience. It is agreat way of giving back."

Fleming grew up on the south side ofChicago and served 27 years in the MarineCorps, ending his career as the director of theMarine Corps' Navigation School. He said hehas benefited from several mentors duringhis time in the Marine Corps and in his 10years working at Patuxent River. He has alsoserved as a mentor himself.

"I had mentors throughout most of mylife; some by default, some who took a gen-uine interest in me and some who were un-aware they were mentoring me," Flemingsaid.

He said his greatest mentors set an exam-ple, always remained positive and had a will-ingness to take the time, go the extra step andbe there when it was not necessarily conven-ient.

Fleming's most gratifying mentoring ex-perience came when he tried to help a youngMarine who he believed had potential butran into some serious misconduct problems.

"I believed in the young man, and in di-rect opposition to many senior Marines, Ifought for his career and made it a personalchallenge to give him some directionthrough the Marine Corps, as well as life," hesaid.

Thanks to their relationship, the youngMarine subsequently departed the Corpswith an honorable discharge. Five years later,Fleming received an "appreciative, moving"letter from him, thanking Fleming for hisleadership and inviting him to his commis-sioning as a second lieutenant in the U.S. AirForce as a C-130 pilot.

For Fleming, good mentors are compas-sionate, engaging, generous, fair, honest, in-

spiring, loyal, optimistic, accessible, articu-late and respectful.

"A mentor needs to value the mentee asa person, develop mutual trust and respect,maintain confidentiality, listen both to whatis being said, and perhaps more importantly,how it is being said," Fleming said. "Help thementee solve his or her own problem ratherthan give direction, and focus on thementee's development without attemptingto produce a 'Mini Me'."

Fleming believes NAVAIR's MentoringProgram can be of particular help to newerteammates who may need career guidanceand advice.

"NAVAIR's Mentoring Program is a re-warding, exceedingly worthwhile endeavorthat we owe our younger folks," he said."They are our future and deserve the benefitsof any time and experience we can providethem. It is our duty."

In the commercial world, the KMAX is usedfor firefighting, construction and lumber-ing. Built as a fully operational helicopter,it requires a start-up and shut-down unlikeother unmanned aerial systems, said Capt.Caleb Joiner, CRUAS mission commander.

Watchword: 'reliability'"The reliability of the KMAX was im-

pressive," O'Connor said. "It was fully mis-sion capable 90 percent of the time." In-clement weather accounted for 5 percentof the downtime and maintenance andscheduling accounted for the other 5 per-cent, he said.

The KMAX required less than two hoursof maintenance per flight hour, whichequates to a low cost, he said.

"Since it was an unmanned system, wewere able to conduct flights during in-clement weather when other helicopterscouldn't fly," O'Connor said. "We flew dur-ing the night, in the rain, dust and somewind . handling up to 4,500 lbs. of cargo permission."

Deployment summaryFlying only during the night, two KMAX

systems flew 485 sorties, or combat mis-sion flights, for a total of 525 flight hours,Joiner said.

Most missions lasted about one hour

and included a 20-minute turnaroundtime. By the end of the deployment, turn-around times with cargo hook-ups took sixor seven minutes to complete, Joiner said.

"The KMAX was very responsive, espe-cially when compared to a convoy, a C-130[Hercules] or an H-53 mission," said Joiner."Going from towing the KMAX out of thehangar to wheels-up could take as little as15 minutes."

The graphic user interface, or GUI, wasdesigned for an untrained Marine to pickup and use, he said.

"The challenge was that we had a sim-plified system with highly trained opera-tors who could have handled a lot morecontrol of the UAS," O'Connor said. "How-ever, we chose to stick with the simplifiedsystem because we wanted to validate theconcept as written."

Other challenges included the size andweight of the UAS system containers, noisygenerators that produced fumes and lackof a remote "kill switch" to turn the heli-copter off, he said.

The detachment offered several recom-mendations as well.

Developing a standardized platformwith modular components for severaltypes of missions would capitalize on theKMAX's reliability, O'Connor said. For ex-ample, a camera could be for intelligence,surveillance and reconnaissance missions;a hook and long line added for cargo pick-up; missiles or rockets for strike missions;or fuel pods for a long-range missions.

efficient possible means of communica-tion would be.

Cheah said that often means simplyhaving paper and pen handy.

The firefighters learned that while somepeople with hearing loss might speak tothem, it doesn't necessarily mean thosepeople understand what the emergency re-sponders are saying in return. It's impor-

tant not to turn away while you're speakingto him or her because he or she may bereading lips, Cheah added.

According to Cheah, NAVAIR currentlyemploys 21 deaf or hard-of-hearing people,but that number fluctuates. She said theremay be more employed as contractors onbase and there are deaf family members.

While the odds that firefighters couldencounter one of them during the per-formance of their duties is slim, Connellysaid, "we have to be prepared. It adds toour tool box."

Workers at NAS PatuxentRiver raised questions aboutthe potential presence of ra-bies on base after a rabidskunk approached a restau-rant, followed fleeing pa-trons inside and bit a womanunprovoked in nearby Cali-fornia June 14.

The incident, while reaf-firming the presence of thedisease in the area's wildlife,also cast light on the impor-tance of rabies awarenessand being able to identify thesigns of the disease.

Although the word "ra-bies" tends to conjure up theimage of a snarling dogfoaming at the mouth and ismost commonly associatedwith dog bites, more than 90percent of rabid animals re-ported to the Centers for Dis-ease Control and Preventionare wildlife. The main ani-mals affected by rabies arefoxes, raccoons, skunks andbats. Pax River and theSouthern Maryland area arehome to all of these animals.

"Rabies is prevalent, andthere have been confirmedcases from the base and thesurrounding county fromthe mid to late 1980s," saidKyle Rambo, conservationdirector for the Public WorksEnvironmental Division."We know it's here."

Rabies is a viral diseasethat can be dangerous to allwarm-bloodedanimalsandistransmitted to humansthrough saliva. The transmis-sion of the disease isn't limit-ed to hostile encounters; any-one can contract it when han-dling an animal with rabies.

All pets should be vacci-nated against rabies for theirprotection and the protec-tion of their owners. Re-member, don't leave pet

food outside overnight be-cause it can attract wild ani-mals and set up the trans-mission link from wildlife topets to humans.

To prevent injury and thespread of diseases such as ra-bies on Navy installations, theNavy prohibits the release ofdomesticated animals intothe wild as well as feedingand maintaining feral cats.

"Most people won't try toget close to a wild animal,"Rambo said. "You're at thegreatest risk from feral do-mestic animals or unvacci-nated pets. People won'tthink twice about bendingdown to pet a stray cat."

Is it rabid?Animal behavior is the

best way of identifyingwhether an animal is rabid.

"There are two stages ofrabies that we call the stuporstage and the furious stage,"Rambo said. "In the stuporstage, animals blunderaround and appear drunkand oblivious. In the furiousstage, they are dangerous andwant to attack anything that

moves with no provocation."According to Rambo, it is

a common misconceptionthat a normally nocturnalanimal seen in daylight mustbe rabid. Nocturnal animalscan be very active duringdaylight hours in the sum-mer as they are feeding andraising their young.

See an animal actingoddly?

Despite efforts to removethem, some feral domesticanimals still inhabit the in-stallation and should there-fore be avoided. Immediate-ly report all stray cats anddogs to the NAS Police anddon't allow co-workers tofeed strays or wild animals. Ifyou observe a wild animalstaggering, stumbling or act-ing oblivious to the presenceof humans or human activi-ty, report that behavior aswell. Do not attempt to cap-ture the animal on your own.

The NAS Police can becontacted at (301) 342-3208,or at (301) 342-3911 for emer-gencies.

The Navy is one year away from landing itsfirst unmanned jet aircraft aboard a carrier af-ter completing the most recent round of sur-rogate tests aboard USS Harry S. Truman(CVN 75).

In early July, members from the Un-manned Combat Air System Demonstration-known as UCAS-D-carrier integration teamengaged in extensive software testing aboardTruman to validate the concept of au-tonomous UAV operations around an aircraftcarrier and prepare for the X-47B unmannedaircraft's arrival on a carrier next year.

"Demonstrating our concept of opera-tions and making sure the Carrier Segment isperforming as advertised is a huge milestonefor the program," said Capt. Jaime Engdahl,Navy UCAS program manager. "The crew,equipment, and program team performed ex-ceptionally well during all planned test eventsand the Harry S Truman is ready for our nextphase of X-47B testing."

Last year, the team conducted surrogatetesting aboard USS Dwight D. Eisenhower(CVN 69) with a manned F/A-18 to evaluateship systems, avionics systems and early ver-sions of the unmanned vehicle software. The

team is now back at sea aboard Truman withthe F/A-18 aircraft, testing precision landingperformance with the latest X-47B softwareand hardware configuration.

"The purpose of the UCAS-D carrier inte-gration effort is to mature precision carrier-landing technologies for unmanned systemsand digitize the communications and naviga-tion information flow," Engdahl said. "Sincethe X-47B is unmanned, the aircraft operatesusing digital messages from the mission op-erator and shipboard controllers, rather thanthrough verbal instructions. The carrier re-quires modification for unmanned flight op-erations, and the integration effort performsthese in a way that minimally affects existinghardware, training and procedures."

During at-sea testing, the Navy UCAS teamgathered valuable feedback from fleet air-traf-fic controllers and air-department personnelabout the usability of the new software andlessons learned about how to most effectivelyoperate UAVs in the carrier environment.

"The new software used during these testsis more comprehensive than earlier versions,"said Cmdr. Jeff Dodge, Navy UCAS carrier in-tegration team co-lead. "There have been sig-nificant changes made to the user interfaceand navigation systems. Data compiled dur-ing surrogate flights allows us to determinethe effectiveness of the new software and howit supports the carrier environment."

Throughout the remainder of 2012, the

Navy UCAS program will conduct carrier suit-ability and system performance testing withboth X-47B aircraft at Pax River. These testswill include arrested landings, catapult

launches and flight deck operations at theland-based facility, and establish the aircraft'sability to conduct precision approaches to theaircraft carrier.

For many, Sept. 7 can't comesoon enough because that's open-ing day for deer hunting. Through-out the summer, NAS Patuxent Riv-er environmental personnel havebeen crunching the numbers todetermine the station's deer-har-vest objective for the year.

While the final tally won't becomplete for a few more weeks,twice-weekly deer-spotlighting ef-forts have so far proved to bepromising. For the hunters, that is.

Starting off with a radio call tothe air traffic control tower, TylerHall, an environmental division in-tern, and a group of three volun-teers drive out onto the station'sless-beaten paths, geared only withbinoculars and a 100,000-candle-power spotlight. The volunteersare strapped into the back of apickup: one to scan the area withthe spotlight and two others as ex-tra sets of eyes for the count. Hallslowly drives down the roads, ra-dioing the ATC tower every so oftento state the group's location. Ittakes them about three hours totravel a predetermined 17-mileroute each night, most of it in areasthat not many on the station eversee.

As they scan the back roads,fields, flight line and golf course,

they log how many bucks and doesthey see. They also note other ani-mals lurking through the night, in-cluding skunks, foxes and rac-coons. They'll make this trip two tothree nights a week until they havecounted 26 times.

Although the spotlight countdoesn't give an exact number ofdeer on station, it does offer insighton whether the deer population in-creases or decreases each year, ac-cording to NAS Pax River Environ-mental Division Natural ResourcesSpecialist Jim Swift.

Using a statistical model devel-

oped for Pax River in collaborationwith NAS Pax River Director ofConservation and Planning KyleRambo, the station's previous en-vironmental division natural re-sources specialist and the U.S.Coast Guard, natural resourcespersonnel enter data from eachcount, and at the end of the 26counts, compare the final calcula-tions to those of previous years.

"We want to make sure our deerpopulation isn't getting out of con-trol for airfield safety reasons,"Swift said. "We use the huntingprogram as our tool for controlling

the deer population here and weuse our model to help us do that."

Having logged 14 counts so farand an average of 46 deer eachnight, Swift expects this year'sdeer-harvest objective to be on parwith those in previous years,around 110.

While the limit for the numberof deer that hunters can kill on sta-tion usually follows what the state'slimits are, it can be changed if thenumbers generated from the spot-light count indicate such a need.

According to the Maryland De-partment of Natural Resourceswebsite, research throughout thepast 60 years confirms deer hunt-ing is an effective means of control-ling deer population.

"It's been a very effectivetool," Swift said. "In fact there hasonly been an average of .2

deer/aircraft strikes per year,about one deer every five years.Without the hunters and puttingthem to work for us to achieveour goal, it would be very difficultand expensive to do."

People interested in hunting orfishing on the station can purchasea station permit at http://naspaxriv-er.isportsman.net. This website alsooffers station hunting and fishingguidelines. Remember, state hunt-ing and fishing licenses are also re-quired to hunt or fish on Pax River.Those can be obtained at localsporting goods stores.To view Mary-land hunting and fishing require-ments, visit www.dnr.state.md.us.

Long ago, Navy Safety Center leaders noticed a phe-nomenon happening around the same time every year:Warm summer days brought an increase in mishaps.

As barbecue grills made their way out of garages andinto back yards, and more people headed outdoors forrecreational activities, many shipmates were putting awaytheir "safety sense" as soon as they left the station.

For the last three years, the Navy has seen an increasein the number of fatal mishaps during the summer. In fact,across the Navy we have already exceeded last year's totalfatal mishaps, and there are still six weeks left before LaborDay.

While the majority of these fatalities have been due tomotorcycle accidents, others came in auto crashes or ac-cidents during recreational activities.

To outlaw activities that can pose any type of risk—suchas softball, swimming, rock climbing, motorcycle riding,boating or long trips in the car—would be neither practicalnor desirable. Instead, we should focus on ways to reducethe potential for mishaps by approaching our activities withincreased common sense, or "safety sense." In the safetyworld, it's called Operational Risk Management, or ORM.

ORM is a six-step prORM is a six-step process:ocess:1. Identify the hazards.2. Assess the risk.3. Analyze control measures.4. Make control decisions.5. Implement control measures.6. Supervise the process.Simply put, ORM is a common-sense approach to mak-

ing decisions before, during and after a task or activity.With ORM, it takes only seconds to decrease the potentialfor a mishap.

Before participating in any summer activity, take a mo-ment to stop and think: "What's the worst thing that couldhappen?" Taking any action to reduce those risks is ORM"safety sense."

Here is an abbreviated version of ORM "safety sense."It's just as effective and can be accomplished in seconds:

When implementing ORM "safety sense" think of ACT:When implementing ORM "safety sense" think of ACT:A - Assess the environment for riskC - Consider options to limit riskT - Take appropriate actionEvery summer safety offices across the Navy go into

high gear, emphasizing the importance of taking precau-tions and using ORM both on- and off-duty, because pre-venting mishaps before they happen is the goal.

By eliminating mishaps, we safeguard our assets andmaintain a mission-ready force.

With the warmer weather, manyNAS Patuxent River employees andfamilies are out riding bicycles andjogging, and the Pax River SafetyDepartment wants everyone to takeprecautions to keep these trips safe.

Supervisors should ensure theiremployees are familiar with Navyand installation bicycling and jog-ging regulations, and parentsshould teach their children properbicycle-riding skills and habits.

The National Highway TrafficSafety Administration and the Unit-ed States Consumer Product SafetyCommission recommend that mo-torists be extra vigilant during sum-mer weather, especially during earlymorning and late afternoon whenpeople are more likely to be out jog-ging or bicycling on the roadwaysand in bike lanes.

Nearly 900 bicyclists die in colli-sions between bicycles and motorvehicles throughout our nation’sroadways every year, while an aver-age of 300 bicyclists are killed innon-roadway collisions in locationssuch as parks, bike paths and drive-

ways, and more than one million bi-cyclists are treated for injuries.

About one-third of the deathsand two-thirds of the injuries in-volve children younger than 15.Three out of four deaths are due tohead injury, and one-third of the in-juries are to the head and face. Themost severe are those causing per-manent brain damage.

Many of these deaths and in-juries are preventable with educa-tion and training. Parents and su-pervisors play a major role in edu-cating coworkers and children inproper behavior and safe ridingtechniques.

State law requires motorists to“share the road” with cyclists. Driv-ers must stay alert as the number of

cyclists is rising with more peoplerecognizing the economic andhealth benefits of cycling to andfrom work.

This is part one of a two-part se-ries. See next week’s Tester for addi-tional bicycling and jogging safetyinformation.

Summer Safety: More bicyclists, joggers hit the road
