numerous attractions
opened their doors free of
charge to military members and
their families Saturday during
this year's Pal Day.
For the past 50 years, the USO
Council of St. Augustine and
many of the city's tourist attrac-
tions have hosted this special day
set aside each December specifi-
cally for First Coast military
members and their families to
enjoy the city's attractions free of
charge.
Hundreds of people, many
proudly wearing their military
uniforms, turned out in the
nation's oldest city to spend a few
hours visiting the sights and to
watch the annual Christmas
parade.
"This is the first time we've
come here for Pal Day. It's a lot of
fun and it's great that the USO
and City of St. Augustine offer
this to us each year. We came to
watch Christmas Parade and
have .visited the Potter's
Museum, Ripley's Believe It of

military members and their fami-

thing a little special. The event
proved so successful, that it has


continued since then every first

Military families enjoyed
favorite attractions such as

attractions.
Nearly 500 service personnel

spent the morning preparing the
food, and then much of the late

serving up plates of hot dogs,

Nearly every month the NAS Jack-
sonville Multi-Cultural Awareness
Committee hosts events that high-
light certain races and ethnic groups in
order to enhance the cultural awareness of
Sailors.
This month the committee highlighted
Native Americans by hosting the American
Indian/Alaskan Native luncheon at the
Flight Line Cafe Nov. 30.
"I'd like to thank you for joining us here
today as we salute American Indians and
Alaskan Natives and pay tribute to all
aspects of their lives; which have been
interwoven throughout our culture," said


Dobson went on to describe how Native
Americans have contributed to the armed
forces throughout the years.
"During World War I nearly 12,000
American Indians and Alaskan Natives
served," he said.
"In World War II more than 44,000
served in both the Pacific and European
Theaters, including one of the Soldiers who
raised the flag on Mt. Sirubachi, during
the battle at Iwo Jima."
Dobson also stated that historically
Native Americans have volunteered to
serve in the armed forces three times more
than those of non-Native American
descent.

Hey, MoneyMan!
I really enjoy the holiday
season and I find that I
can not control my excite-
ment. I love to buy gifts
for all of my friends, I
enjoy decorating our house
and I enjoy having friends
over.
Of course, all of this cost
money and every year I
spend more than I should.
Then I promise myself not
to do that ever again. Of
course, here we are and ,I
am out doing ,the same
thing this year.
My husband seems to
enjoy it all, but he really
gets upset when the bills
come in. Do you have any
recommendations on what
I can do to control my
spending especially during
this time of the year?
MoneyMan sez:
Old habits are hard to
break! It is easy to see
why you want to spend
money in December,
because it seems that
everyone else is doing it.
I think I saw the first
Christmas decorations in a
shopping mall going up in
September, if not before.
Many of us overspend dur-
ing this "shopping season."
It is estimated that
Americans will spend more


than $457 billion this holi-
day season. That averages
to almost $800 per person.
You do not have to spend
that much.
In fact, you can spend
less and enjoy it more, par-
ticularly when the bills roll
around in January. My
recommendation is that
you talk with you husband
and budget your holiday
spending.
Then pay attention to
the budget. To learn how
to control your spending,
go to www.stretcher.com.
This is the connection to
"Dollar Stretcher." There
you will find information
on things such as, "Great
Holiday Parties on Tight
Budgets," "Saving on
Holiday Travel," and
"Christmas Gifts That
Don't Cost a Dime."
You will also find many
other suggestions on how
to manage your finances.

Remembering the



raid on Pearl Harbor


From the Naval
Historical Center
T he Dec. 7, 1941
Japanese raid on
Pearl Harbor was one
of the great defining
moments in history. A sin-
gle carefully-planned and
well-executed stroke
removed the United States
Navy's battleship force as a
possible threat to the
Japanese empire's south-
ward expansion.
America, unprepared and
now considerably weakened,
was abruptly brought into
the Second World War as a
full combatant.
Eighteen months earlier,
President Franklin D.
Roosevelt had transferred
the United States Fleet to
Pearl Harbor as a presumed
deterrent to Japanese
aggression. The Japanese
military, deeply engaged in


the seemingly endless war it
had started against China
in mid-1937, badly needed
oil and other raw materials.
Commercial access to
these was gradually cur-
tailed as the conquests con-
tinued. In July 1941, the
Western powers effectively
halted trade with Japan.
From then on, as the des-
perate Japanese schemed to
seize the oil and mineral-
rich East Indies and
Southeast Asia, a Pacific
war was virtually in-
evitable.
By late November 1941,
with peace negotiations
clearly approaching an end,.
informed United States offi-
cials (and they were well-
informed, they belie-ved,
through an ability to read
Japan's diplomatic codes)
fully expected a Japanese
attack into the Indies,
Malaya and probably the
Philippines. Completely


unanticipated was the'
prospect that Japan would
attack east, as well.
The U.S. Fleet's Pearl
Harbor base was reachable
by an aircraft carrier force,
and the Japanese Navy
secretly sent one across the
Pacific with greater aerial
striking power than had
ever been..seen on the
world's oceans.
Its planes hit just before 8
a.m. Dec. 7, 1941. Within a
short time five of eight bat-
tleships at Pearl Harbor
were sunk or sinking, with
the, rest damaged. Several
other ships and most
Hawaii-based combat
planes were also knocked
out and more than, 2,400
Americans were dead.
Soon after, Japanese
planes eliminated much of
the American air force in
the Philippines and a
Japanese Army was ashore
in Malaya.

explode after being hit by a Japanese bomb. At left, men on the stern of USS Tennessee (BB-
43) spray fire hoses on the water to force burning oil away from their ship.


These great Japanese suc-
cesses, achieved without
prior diplomatic formalities,
shocked and enraged the
previously divided
American people into a level
of purposeful unity hardly
seen before or since.
For the next five months,
until the Battle of the Coral
Sea in early May, Japan's'


far-reaching offensives pro-
ceeded untroubled by fruit-
ful opposition. American
and allied morale suffered
accordingly. Under normal
political circumstances, an
accommodation might have
been considered.
However, the memory of
the "sneak attack" on Pearl
Harbor fueled a determina-


tion to fight on.
Once the Battle of
Midway in early June 1942
had eliminated much of
Japan's striking power, that
same memory stoked a
relentless war to reverse her
conquests and remove her,
and her German and Italian
allies, as future threats to
world peace.


VP-30 helping build homes for Habitat for Humanity

From VP-30 -M.I


V P-30, a squadron well known for
building replacement aircrew for the
P-3 fleet is now trying its hand at
building homes for Habitat for Humanity.
This spring, three families will move out
of their inadequate housing and moving
into a new home this spring, thanks to
members of VP-30. This will be the first
time one organization has supplied all the
volunteers to build a Habitat for Humanity
house in Clay County. The
Sailors will build two, four-bedroom homes
and one pre-manufactured home in Green
Cove Springs. While only responsible for
the construction of the one house, squadron
personnel could be called upon to assist in
construction on the other two homes as
well. The concrete foundations, plumbing,
electrical and heating/air conditioning work
will be contracted out to local community
construction companies and VP-30's volun-
teers will finish the rest.
"This is one of the best opportunities we
have to help out in the community. Our
squadron members and I feel a great sense
of accomplishment contributing our time

; "Mr. Cox was born on the
Nez Perce Reservation in
December 1930 (the year of
the deep snow). His moth-
er and grandfather are one-
half Cherokee. He left the
reservation in 1947," stated
McNair.
Cox, a well-known as a
snakebite expert who has
lectured around the coun-
try and appeared in
National Geographic, used
to run the snakebite clinic
gt NAS Jacksonville, and
now serves as assistant
Safety director for the base,
"It's an honor and a
pleasure to be here tpday,"
he said. "I came here to
this base in 1968 and I've
made [Jacksonville] my
home."
Cox then went on to
describe his. life on the
reservation and just how he'
came to work so closely
with snakes.
"Being a reservation
Indian has been both a
blessing and a curse," he
said. "Specifically with my
3.1 years in the navy. My
culture was well-accepted
back then, but not much is
Known today about what I
grew up with snakes
being one of them."
SMaynard Cox is actually
Cox's grandfather's name.
His birth-given name, Zoo
Chow Wanagie Mee 0 Suu
means "snake brother spirit
guardian" when translated
into English.
' According to Cox, this
goes along with Nez Perce
tradition.
"When the 'great spirit'
puts you here on earth he
gives you a job to do," he,
said.
Cox had to adopt his
"white man's name" when
he entered the fourth grade
in a non-reservation school
because his teachers would-
n't accept his Indian name.

Master of Ceremonies HMCS(AW) Bryce McNair presents an appreciation award to guest
speaker Maynard Cox during the American Indian/Alaskan Native Month Luncheon. Cox,
who was raised on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation in Idaho, also retired from the Navy
nearly 30 years ago.


Sailors look on as Maynard Cox describes him time aboard
the Nez Perce Indian Reservation in Idaho. Cox, nationally
well known for his work with snake safety, served as the guest
speaker for the American Indian/Alaskan Native Heritage
Month Luncheon at the Flight Line Caf4 Nov. 30.


Near the end of his
speech Cox shared one of
his more memorable times
on the reservation.
"When I was 8 years old,
I took my vision quest," he
said. "This was usually
reserved for kids ages 10 or
12, but my uncle had
trained me and thought I
was qualified. I was lucky
to get it done during the
summer because the Idaho
mountains aren't too
friendly in the winter when
all you have on is a shirt
and moccasins."
According to Cox, the,
vision quest is similar to


what some Sailors go
through during survival
training.
Cox's other credentials
include: founder/director of
The World Wide Poison
Bite Information Center;
special advisor, Emergency
Services; civil defense
founder and director of the
North Florida Snakebite
Treatment Center; associ-
ate member, Society of
Clinical Pathologists and
the author of the protocol
for the emergency room
treatment and hospital
management of snakebite
victims used nationwide.

requires that all commands
conduct regular suicide pre-
vention training.
There are also other
resources available to both
assist Sailors at risk and
help train people to recog-
nize the signs of possible
suicidal tendencies, most of
which are as close as the
Fleet and Family Support
Center.


The centers have experi-
enced mental health profes-
sionals, substance abuse
programs, and base chap-
lains available to help.
Other resources include
chaplains, health care
workers, and counselors.
"It is important to famil-
iarize yourself with the
resources in your local
area. Know the procedure


for referring someone in
crisis to emergency mental
health care and who the
points of contact, are in your
local area for such a refer-
ral. Also different locations
may have many different
services to assist those
experiencing depression,
anxiety or post traumatic
stress disorder, for exam-
ple," Doran said.

A TOW missile, a manger and the cross

Gregg Gillette
NAS Jax Chapel


D o you understand how
a tube launched, opti-
cally tracked, wire
guided (TOW) missile locates,
locks-on and destroys a battle
tank? .-
Even if you don't, your lack
of understanding doesn't ,
change the reality and effec-
tiveness of the weapon. So
unless you are the "trigger Chaplain
puller" or trying to avoid the Gregg
impact of this tank killing
missile, your lack of understanding the
TOW is insignificant.
Military and non-military skeptics who
have seen this weapon work, both in train-
ing and combat, now testify to what they
have seen; charred wreckage, which is itself
a sign to every unbeliever. (John 20:24-30)
Ladies, have you ever given your special
someone a "hint" when you were asked,
"What do you want for Christmas?" That
"hint" was also a'sign that gave directions.
Did you get what you asked for or did your
special someone miss the sign and turn
down the sporting goods aisle instead of
Going to the jewelry counter? The "hint" was
clear to you, but they didn't understand,
yoursign so they went a different direction.

Christ the Lord. And this -will
be the sign to you: You will
find a baby wrapped in grave
cloths, lying in a feeding

enough of a sign, from seem-
: ingly out of mid-air they heard
words with musical accompa-
niment testifying to what the
intruder said.
Did they fully understand? I
don't know, but what I do
Wbi know is that they didn't need
Lt. Cmdr.) any more convincing. They
illett. mdr.) secured the watch and went to
;illette where they were told to by one
they have never seen before and a voice
they had never heard before. They may not
have totally understood, but they believed
enough to go check it out for themselves
and were glad that they did! (Luke 2:8-20)
About 30 years later that baby, now a
man, was known by many more and some
chose to believe in him because of what they
saw him do, (John 9:1-38; 20:30-31) while
others thought that their initial suspicions
were correct. (Luke 22:35) Even some of
those closest to him went back to their, old
jobs, (John 21:3), because they didn't under-
stand why he had to die even after he told
them. (Luke 9:22)
Signs of God and the season are all
around us. (Rom 1:20-23) Yet probably one
of the most recognized sign in the world, the
cross, is also tragically, one of the most mis-
understood. It may have been where Jesus
the Christ died, but it is also where the rest
of the world will find life and peace. (Matt
11:28-30) Even if you don't understand all
the ramifications of his crucifixion, know
this: Jesus was born for you, (Matt 20:28;
Col 2:13-14) and misunderstanding never
changes the truth. (Acts 9:1-18)

FRCs unite to win SecDef PBL Award


By Judy Hartman
Fleet Readiness Center Southeast
In a ceremony held last month
at the Aerospace Industries
Association conference in
Hilton Head, S.C., Fleet
Readiness Center Southeast
(FRC-SE) and Fleet Readiness
Center Southwest (FRC-SW)
were recipients of the 2006
Secretary of Defense Performance
Based Logistics (PBL) Award in
the component level with the F/A-
18 and F-14D Cockpit Displays
Group PBL team.


The Navy Cockpit Displays
group's PBL effort delivers
improved readiness and maxi-
mizes production' efficiency
through a public-private partner-
ing agreement between Rockwell
Collins Display System and FRC-
SE at Jacksonville and FRC-SW
at North Island in San Diego,
providing service to the fleet. The
15-year, fixed price contract was
signed in October 2003. It covers
the heads up display, digital data
indicator and the digital data
repeater indicator utilized on the


F/A-18 A-F and the F-14D models
- a total of 274 components.
Current PBL performance is
100 percent material availability.
This outstanding achievement
represents a 40 percent increase
in component availability since
the execution of the PBL pro-
gram. In three years, this pro-
gram has not only increased the
supply availability, but also
reduced delivery response time
from between 60 and 90 daysto
three to five days, and has virtu-
ally eliminated backordered fleet


requisitions; all while generating
remarkable savings.
By embracing the intent of pub-
lic-private partnerships, the
FRCs have been able to imple-
ment lean manufacturing
processes that increase time on
wing for the display components.
Not only has this solution result-
ed in increased component avail-
ability, reduced delivery response
time, and zero backordered fleet
requirements, it has also served
to unite Rockwell Collins
Displays System team, the Naval


Supply and Naval Air Systems
Commands into a cohesive team
that is positioned to provide the
warfighter with outstanding sup-
port for years to come.
The Cockpit Displays Group
PBL team's efforts are considered
particularly significant, since
they tackled the challenges of an
aging, out of production system.
They applied the innovation,
commitment, and teamwork to
achieve a record level of support
not deemed possible in a pre-PBL
environment.

HEALTH NOTES



The Sunshine State


By Lt Emily Crossman
NH Jax Family Practice Residency Program
W while living in the popular
"Sunshine State" provides beauti-
ful warm weather, it exposes us to
strong, dangerous ultraviolet irradiation
(UV) rays even in the winter months.
UV rays are waves of light from the sun
that are not visible. They damage our skin
even when the sun is behind the clouds.
When UV rays hit our skin cells long
enough (as little as five to 10 minutes for
some people) the genetic code or DNA is
mutated. This can lead fo cell death or
worse, uncontrolled cell growth..
In the short term, UV damage to our cells
manifests as a sunburn. When burned, pain
and redness of the skin starts within three
to five hours of exposure and is worse 12-24
hours after exposure. Severity of the burn
ranges from mild redness to very painful
blistering and swelling. Sunburns may
seem like a minor inconvenience to some,
but the greater concern is that repeated
sunburn leads to more DNA mutation and
increases the risk of skin cancer.
Long term exposure to excess UV rays
can lead. to chronic damage, premature
aging and malignant (cancerous) changes.
Seborrheic keratosis is a common skin
change seen in elderly that is caused by sun
damage. Not only are these pigmented,
'stuck-on' appearing patches ugly, they may
require biopsy to rule out malignancy.
Actinic keratosis are red and scaly patches
in sun-exposed areas that are actually pre-
cancerous and need to be treated by your
doctor.
Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carci-
noma and melanoma are three skin cancers
that are all associated with excessive UV
exposure. Basal cell carcinoma most often
presents as either a pearly bump that has
little blood vessels on it or as an ulcerated,
crusty bump. Squamous cell carcinomas
initially present as pink or red scaly patch-
es and can progress to an eroded area.
There are 1.3 million cases of these cancers
yearly, 75 percent of those being basal cell
carcinomas. The incidence of this type of
cancer is significantly higher in sunny,
southern states (for example Arizona and
Florida). Treatment for these cancers often
requires wide surgical excision. These can-
cers are rarely fatal but can cause serious
scars.
Melanoma is the sixth most common can-
cer in the United States and its rate is
increasing more than any other cancer. In


contrast to other cancers, melanoma causes
almost 8,000 deaths per year. The ABCD
pneumonic is used to describe this cancer. It
presents as a lesion that is (A) asymmetri-
cal, has irregular (B) boarders, has (C) color
that is not uniform and has a (D) diameter
greater than the tip of a pencil eraser.
Treatment starts with wide excision and
sometimes requires removal of lymph nodes
around the lesion. This type of cancer may
also require chemotherapy and/or radiation.
To prevent this potentially deadly skin
damage people should stay Out of the sun
during the hottest hours and wear protec-
tive clothing, hats, and sunscreen. The
World Health Organization developed the
UV index to help people know how strong
the sun is
on a given day. The. scale goes from zero
to 11 and is often reported during weather
forecasts. UV indexes of zero to two are con-
sidered safe for outside activities without
sun protection. At levels of three or above it
is recommended that people use sunscreen
or wear protective clothing. This is.especial-
ly important for fair skinned people and
those with small children or babies because
they can burn very quickly.
Florida is called the 'Sunshine State' for
good reason. In Jacksonville last year, 87
percent of the days had a UV index of
greater than three. Only 13 percent of the
time was the UV index at a level where sun
protection was not needed. Not surprising-
ly, June, July and August average high UV
indices from seven to greater than 11. But,
even a clear, crisp day in January can have
a skin damaging UV index of four despite
the cool temperatures. In general the UV
index is highest between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
Don't be fooled by the thermometer. On a
cool day your skin is still suffering the
effects of UV damage, increasing your risk
of burns, chronic skin changes and skin can-
cer. If you are outside any time of the year
in Jacksonville it is important to use sun
protection. If you currently have any abnor-
mal or concerning skin lesions, please see
your doctor as soon as possible.
Good information on ultraviolet rays can
be found at The World Health Organization
official Web site- http://www.who.int/en/.

This article is one of a series of health care
articles published by the Department of Family
Practice Residency Program at Naval Hospital
Jacksonville. Dr. Crpssman received her medical
degree from the Utiformed Services Medical
School of the Health Sciences in Bethesda. She is
a physician in the Family Medicine Department.

Seven Bulgarian medical doctors/hospital heads visited Naval Hospital Jacksonville Nov.
28. Accompanying the group was their Jacksonville host George Banks of The
Facilitators, International, Inc. Banks coordinated the visit with the Bulgarian State
Department and the Atlantic Club of Bulgaria to bring the group to Jacksonville to visit
several area hospitals. Hospital Commanding Officer Capt. Raquel Bono met with the
delegation to discuss the hospital's role in supporting the Navy medicine mission of pro-
viding "World class care . Anytime, Anywhere." They were also provided a tour in
which they visited several hospital clinics, such as the Family Medicine Clinic (shown
above). During their visit they got a close up view of the scope and daily operations of
Naval Hospital Jacksonville. Following the hospital tour, NAS Jacksonville Public Affairs
provided them a windshield tour of the base as well as a visit to Air Operations. Banks
pointed out the significance of this group, pointing out that Bulgaria has recently joined
NATO and has agreed to provide air field access to coalition forces involved in the war
on terrorism.

Expanded dental coverage for children

and other eligible beneficiaries


From Staff
he National Defense Authorization
Act of 2007 legislated a change to the
TRICARE dental benefit to cover
anesthesia services and institutional costs
for dental treatment for beneficiaries with
developmental, mental or physical disabili-
ties, and children age 5 or under.
For TRICARE to reimburse claims, bene-
ficiaries must save their bills for medical
care occurring after Oct. 17, 2006. The
change in statute does not include the actu-
al dental care services coverage through the
TRICARE Dental Program and the TRI-
CARE Retiree Dental Program.


Once program officers finalize implemen-
tation requirements, TRICARE will
announce when beneficiaries may submit
their bills for reimbu rsenment.
Implementation requires changes to TRT-
CARE Manuals and dental care services
contracts.
To avoid costly and extensive dental pro-
cedures requiring anesthesia, children
should start seeing a dentist by the time
their first tooth appears or by their first
birthday; this helps to prevent tooth decay
and other oral diseases.
Decay is the single most common chronic
childhood dental disease-and it's complete-
ly preventable.

THE EMBERS GLOWED SOFTLY,
AND IN THEIR DIM LIGHT,
I GAZED ROUND THE ROOM
AND I CHERISHED THE SIGHT.
MY WIFE WAS ASLEEP, HER HEAD ON MY CHEST,
MY DAUGHTER BESIDE ME, ANGELIC IN REST.
OUTSIDE THE SNOW FELL, A BLANKET OF WHITE. -
TRANSFORMING THE YARD TO A WINTER DELIGHT.
THE SPARKLING LIGHTS IN THE TREE I BELIEVE.
COMPLETED THE MAGIC
THAT WAS CHRISTMAS EVE.
MY EYELIDS WERE HEAVY,
MY BREATHING WAS DEEP.
SECURE AND SURROUNDED
BY LOVE I WOULD SLEEP.
IN PERFECT CONTENTMENT. OR SO IT WOULD SEEM.
SO I SLUMBERED. PERHAPS I STARTED TO DREAM.
THE SOUND WASN'T LOUD.
AND IT WASN'T TOO NEAR,
BUT I OPENED MY EYES WHEN IT TICKLED MY EAR.
PERHAPS JUST A COUGH. I DIDN T QUITE KNOW,
THEN THE7 SURE SOUND CF FOOTSTEPS
OUTSIDE IN THE SNOW.
MY SOUL GAVE A TREMBLE, I STRUGGLED TO HEAR,
AND I CREPT TO THE DOOR
JUST TO SEE WHO WAS NEAR.
STANDING OU' IN THE COLD
AND THE DARK OF THE NIGHT,
A LONE FIGURE STOOD. HIS FACE WEARY AND TIGHT.
A SOLDIER, I PUZZLED, SOME 20 YEARS OLD,
PERHAPS A MARINE,
HUDDLED HERE IN THE COLD.
ALONE IN THE DARK, HE LOOKED UP AND SMILED,
STANDING WATCH OVER ME,
AND MY WIFE AND MY CHILD.
'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I ASKED WITHOUT FEAR.
"COME IN THIS MOMENT, IT'S FREEZING OUT HERE!
PUT DOWN YOUR PACK, BRUSH THE SNOW
FROM YOUR SLEEVE,
YOU SHOULD BE AT HOME
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE'"
FOR BARELY A MOMENT I SAW HIS EYES SHIFT,
AWAY FROM THE COLD AND THE SNOW
BLOWN IN DRIFTS.
TO THE WINDOW THAT DANCED
WITH A WARM FIRE'S LIGHT.
THEN HE SIGHED AND HE SAID.
"IT'S REALLY ALL RIGHT.
I'M OUT HERE BY CHOICE. I'M HERE EVERY NIGHT.
IT'S MY DUTY TO STAND AT THE FRONT OF THE LINE,
THAT SEPARATES YOU FROM THE DARKEST OF TIMES.

V ,;v., *--*^*v\-L


"I CAN LIVE THROUGH THE COLD
AND THE BEING ALONE,
AWAY FROM MY FAMILY. MY HOUSE AND MY HOME.
I CAN STAND AT MY POST THROUGH THE RAIN
AND THE SLEET.
I CAN SLEEP IN A FOXHOLE WITH LITTLE TO EAT.
I CAN CARRY THE WEIGHT OF KILLING ANOTHER,
OR LAY DOWN MY LIFE WITH MY SISTER
AND BROTHER.
WHO STAND AT THE FRONT AGAINST ANY AND ALL.
TO ENSURE FOR ALL TIME THAT THIS FLAG
WILL NOT FALL."
"'SO GO BACK INSIDE.' HE SAID.
"HARBOR NO FRIGHT. YOUR FAMILY IS WAITING
AND I'LL BE ALL RIGHT."
"BUT ISN'T THERE SOMETHING I CAN DO,
AT THE LEAST??
GIVE YOU MONEY?" I ASKED. "OR PREPARE
YOU A FEAST?
IT SEEMS ALL TOO LITTLE FOR ALL
THAT YOU'VE DONE,
FOR BEING AWAY FROM YOUR WIFE
AND YOUR SON "
THEN HIS EYE WELLED A TEAR
THAT HELD NO REGRET.
'JUST TELL US YOU LOVE US AND NEVER FORGET
TO FIGHT FOR OUR RIGHTS
BACK AT HOME WHILE WE'RE GONE,
TO STAND YOUR OWN WATCH.
NO MATTER HOW LONG.
FOR WHEN WE COME HOME.
EITHER STANDING OR DEAD.
TO KNOW YOU REMEMBER WE FOUGHT
AND WE BLED IS PAYMENT ENOUGH,
AND WITH THAT WE WILL TRUST.
THAT WE MATTERED TO YOU AS YOU
MATTERED TO US."

Longtime racquetball player retires racquet
By DCFR Jeanette Pruett, '
Staff Writer


He's been a familiar face on the racquetball courts
at the NAS Jax Gym for more than 10 years but at
87 years old, Harold Wilson unfortunately has put
up his racquet due to health issues. Many years ago,
Wilson began working out at a local spa with one of his
friends.
When the spa closed, they headed to another local fit-
ness center. While
there, they
noticed several
people playing
racquetball and
decided to try it
out for them-
selves. It soon CKSo4L.Y .
became a regular
routine as the
men picked up
their racquets and
hit the courts sev- i
eral times a week.
As a retired
chief, Wilson t
decided to try out
the courts at the Photos by MC3 David Didier
NAS Jax Gym Harold Wilson, 87, an avid rac uetball
quetball team for player at the NAS Jax Gym, sadly has to
retired sei fors. give up the sport due to health reasons.
"Harold and all of his teammates have a passion for the
game. It gives them an opportunity to laugh and spend
time with friends. Remember when you were a kids and
played stick ball or jump rope and always laughed so
hard, it's just fun," said Joyce Hill, one of Wilson's team-
mates. "This' game is fun and it's something people of all
ages can do."
At 87, Wilson ties to stay as active a possible. His wife,
Virginia is extremely proud of his accomplishments. "I'm
thrilled he's been staying so active and has been able to
play this sport for so many years," she said.
Recently, due to declining health issues, Wilson had to
cut back the amount of time he spent on the courts and he
has not been advised to give up his favorite pastime.
Despite, no longer being able to play with the team, he

continues to show up every game day to support his team-
mates and cheer them on. "Although I am no longer able
to play, I'm happy to still be a part of this and have fun
with my team. I'll be here each game day until the Good
Lord takes me," said Wilson, enthusiastically.

Naval Safety Center urges

sports enthusiasts to exercise

with caution this winter ,


By MCSN Tyler ,
ungerford Jones
Fleet Public Affairs Center Atlantic
The Naval Safety Cen-
ter is urging winter
sports enthusiasts to
take extra care this season
to protect themselves from
the dangers of cold-weather
exposure.
SK3(SW) Jonathan Riser,
a supply clerk aboard the
nuclear-powered aircraft
carrier USS Harry. S.
Truman (CVN 75), is one


such enthusiast. Having,
been raised in Salt .Lake
City, Riser grew up around
winter sports and knows
the dangers associated with
the great outdoors well.
"You have to be careful,
because the snow melts and
can soak your clothes," he'
said. "It's smart to weag
waterproof jackets and
other clothes."
Riser has been participat-
ing in winter sports since

CAUTION: Exercise with caution during winter months


From Page 17


he was six, and said what you choose to
wear can make a major difference out in
the elements.
"I always wear layers, because if you get
too hot, you can always take them off," he
explained.
John Williams, a recreational safety
expert at the Naval Safety Center at Naval
Station Norfolk, echoed Riser.
"When you're in the cold weather, then
you need cold weather gear," Williams
said. "If you're in extreme cold weather,
then you need extreme cold weather gear."
Preparing properly for the weather out-
side can be the difference between life and
death, he said.
Williams recommends Sailors and their
families who plan on enjoying winter
sports should wear insulated, waterproof
clothing, sunglasses, sunscreen and water-
proof shoes.
"Proper protective equipment is one
thing that can help save, your life in the
: environment you face," he said.
o Williams also warned hypothermia can


be a tricky adversary.
"One of the things about hypothermia is
that it can fool you into thinking you are
warm," he said. "One of the biggest indica-
tors is a loss of cognitive awareness. If you
forget where you are, what you're doing,
then hypothermia may be setting in."
If sports enthusiasts do find themselves
in a not-so-cool situation when injury is a
serious threat, Williams said they should
seek shelter immediately and drink some
warm water or tea.
Proactive steps like checking the weath-
er beforehand and always staying on
marked trails according to skill level can
help protect enthusiasts from winter sport-
related injuries, like hypothermia and
frostbite.
"Stay within your specific skill level,"
Williams urged. "Even though I play bas-
ketball, I would never go on the court to
play with NBA players, because they are
way beyond my specific skill level."

FROM THE FLEET

Uniform standards


A lasting impression


By FLTCM(SW/AW) Janet DiRosa
Atlantic Fleet Master Chief
id you ever sit beside someone who
smelled badly? It didn't have to be
a strong odor, just enough that it
made you notice.
Think about how you reacted to that per-
son. Did you feel that person was ready
for the day? Did you feel he --
or she needed some help? | .
How much respect did you f :
have for that person? More
than likely, you thought less t
of that person because clean-
liness was a simple matter
for you.
Now think about your uni-
form appearance. Does it
really matter? The truth is
it does. Whether you're K.
working with seniors or sub-
ordinates, people notice a
squared-away Sailor. And
whether they say something
or not, it affects the way they
will treat you. All of those
catchy phrases, "perception FLTCM(
is reality", and "first, impres- Janet I
sions are lasting impres-
sions", those phrases persist simply
because they contain universal truths.
People will make assumptions about your
character, performance and values based
on your appearance. Those first percep-
tions will last regardless of who you are
and what you do.
A sloppy uniform reflects a person who
may be sloppy in job performance, watch-
standing and many other areas. When I
see someone in a sloppy uniform or some-
one with a blatant disregard for the regu-
lations it raises many questions in my
mind....if sloppy in uniform are they sloppy
in their job, watch standing, etc. If they
fail to pay attention to the simple details of
the uniform regulations do they fail to pay
attention to other critical details of their


job making them a vulnerable target?
Uniform regulations spell out exactly
what is necessary to maintain a sharp
appearance and meet standards. There is
no guesswork involved. This applies to
wearing the prescribed uniform as well as
the optional items, such as backpacks.
Bright orange, purple, green these are all
the colors of backpacks you should not be
carrying while in uniform.
*only two colors authorized
'according to the uniform reg-
ulations.
Failing to take care of
those small details that
make up a sharp appearance
brings a,person's entire char-
acter into question. A sharp
I uniform creates a positive
impression. Those who wear
a sharp uniform carry them-
selves differently...with pride
ir, and confidence.
We are all responsible for
enforcing the standards and
holding each other account-
SW/AW) able for their appearance.
DiRosa Often, Sailors can turn
themselves around just.by
having a good mentor who sets them
straight. If you are a mentor, make sure
your Sailors understand the importance of
taking pride in their uniform. Set the bar
high. Their success or failure in this basic
area will affect their entire outlook on the
Navy. If you're in need of a mentor or role
model, look around and find one that can
challenge you to be your best. ,
Squared-away Sailors decide daily that
their career, self-respect and the respect of
others depend upon how well they present
themselves. Nobody wants to sit next to
the smelly guy, or worse, be that person.
Only you can choose your fate and either
be viewed as a vulnerable target or a
fortress. What will be the lasting impres-
sion you leave on people you meet?

TRICARE seeks input to improve autism benefit


From TRICARE Public
Affairs


TRICARE will create a plan
under the Extended Care
Health Option (ECHO) to
provide services for military
dependent children with autism.
The 2007 National Defense
Authorization Act calls for this
plan to include the following:
Education, training and
supervision requirements for
individuals providing services to
military dependent children with


autism; ?
Standards to identify and
measure the availability, distri-
bution and training of individuals
(with various levels of expertise)
to provide such services;
Procedures to make sure such
children receive these services in
addition to other publicly-provid-
ed services.
TRICARE seeks assistance
from affected military families to
participate in the plan's develop-
ment. Any affected military fam-
ily may e-mail comments to


ChildrenWithAutism@tma.osd.mi
1. TRICARE will accept, comments
until Jan. 31, 2007. ??
"It is vital we learn about
affected beneficiaries and their
personal experiences, so TRI-
CARE may better meet their
needs," said Army Maj. Gen.
Elder Granger, deputy director,
TRICARE Management Activity.
"We look forward to expanding
available treatment options and
access to care for beneficiaries
with autism."
Currently, there are a number


of treatments available for chil-
dren with autism, including
Applied Behavioral Analysis
(ABA).
TRICARE shares the cost of
ABA for an active duty family
member only if a certified
provider administers services. It
will not cover non-certified indi-
viduals-even if a certified ABA
provider indirectly supervises the
individual.
In the meantime, TRICARE
continues to share the cost of cer-
tified provider hands-on ABA


therapy, under ECHO. The TRI-
CARE maximum allowable
charge for all ECHO services is
up to $2500 per month.
Even when an active duty fami-
ly member sees a certified
provider several hours each week,
an ABA-trained family member
may increase the therapy's suc-
cess.
To encourage family member
involvement, TRICARE may cost
share family members' ABA
training, if a certified provider
trains them.


Holiday season fire safety tips


From the NAS Jax Fire
Prevention Division
he Christmas holiday season is
now upon us. Christmas trees,
decorative lights and materials,
candles, and smoking at parties all
increase the likelihood of a fire in
your home. To help everyone enjoy a
fire safe holiday, we recommend that
you follow these holiday season fire
safety tips.
Christmas trees
When buying a fresh-cut tree,
make sure it is fresh. When the
trunk of a tree is bounced on the
ground, a shower of needles shows
that the tree is too dry and a greater
fire risk.
Cut the trunk at an angle at least
one to two inches above the end to
help the tree absorb water. Place the
tree in a non-tip stand filled with
water and place the stand well away
from exits, your home traffic pattern
and sources of heat. Check and main-
tain water level on a daily basis.
When buying an artificial tree,
make sure it is labeled or otherwise
identified or certified by the manufac-
turer as being "flame retardant" or
"flame resistive".
Holiday lights
and decorations
Use only UL or other safety-test-


ed lights.. Check markings on light
sets for "indoor" or "outdoor" use and
display accordingly.
Check light sets, new and old, for
broken or cracked sockets, frayed or
bare wires, and loose connections.
Replace worn and broken light sets.
Do not overload extension cords.
Check and follow manufactures rec-
ommendations for multiple light con-
nections. Do not connect more than
three standard size sets of lights per
single extension cord.
Do not use electrical decorations
or lights on metal Christmas trees.
Turn off all lights on trees and
other decorations before you:retire for
the evening or leave your home.
Remember, an electrical "short" can
and will start a fire..
Use only flame-retardant or non-
combustible decorations.
Candles
Locate candles away from
Christmas trees, combustible decora-
tions, displays, curtains or drapes.
Place candles in areas where they
cannot be knocked or blown over.
Always use candleholders that
are sturdy, won't tip over easily, and
made of a non-combustible material.
Never leave burning candles
unattended or within the reach of
small children.
Always extinguish candles before
you leave the house or retire for the


evening.
Ensure matches and lighters are
kept out of the reach of children.
Portable electric heaters
Use only a portable electric
heater that carries the label of an
independent testing laboratory (UL or
FM).
Ensure portable electric heater is
equipped with an automatic shutoff
feature "tip over" switch (unit turns
off if knocked over).
Keep portable electric heaters at
least three feet away from any com-
bustible material.
General fire safety,
Do not burn gift-wrappings or
trees in the fireplace. Flames can get
out of control and spread embers
around the room.
Equip your home with a portable
UL listed ABC (all purpose) rated fire
extinguisher.
Provide individuals smoking with
large, deep, non-tip ashtrays.
Empty ashtrays often, wetting
their contents before dumping them.
After a party, check cushions,
around furniture and on the floor for
smoldering cigarette or cigar butts.
Test your smoke detector at least
monthly.
Have a fire escape plan. Dial
"911" in case of an emergency.

Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program


is available to al

From DJC Communications
Federal employees, including members of the mili-
tary, should be aware of the Federal Long Term
Care Insurance Program (FLTCIP). The strong
launch of the FLTCIP in 2002 made it the largest employ-
er sponsored long-term care insurance program and the
largest group program in the country. The federal pro-
gram provides more than 20 million eligible members
access to long-term care insurance as a voluntary benefit,
where the employee pays all the cost.
Long-term care services are available in a nursing
home, assisted living facility or at home and include help
with the activities of daily living such as eating, bathing
and dressing. To navigate through the many options that
are available, enrollees in the federal program are encour-
aged to tap into the program's care coordination services.
"When you need long-term care services, securing the
best type and quality of care can seem daunting. That's
why the care coordination services provided by the only
federally-sponsored long-term care insurance program are
truly one of the hallmarks of the program," said Mary Lou
McGuinness, R.N., MS, director of care
coordination/claims for the Federal Long Term Care
Insurance Program. "Care coordination not only provides
individuals with information to make a knowledgeable
decision, but it also offers emotional support and peace of
mind at a very difficult time."'
Through care coordination services, enrollees of the fed-
eral program and their relatives have access to care coor-
dinators, who are all registered nurses. The care coordina-


[ government/mil
tion services, which are provided through LTC Partners,
the administrator of the FLTCIP are available via a toll-
free number and include:
Access to information on long-term care providers
across the country, including guidance on service, avail-
ability, quality, costs and licensing.
Pre-negotiated discounts with a large network of
providers across the country that can result in cost-sav-
ings for enrollees.
Guidance on preparing a plan of care, assistance in
implementation of care and access to a trusted partner in
the process.
To learn more about the care coordination services
available under the FLTCIP, call Ms. McGuinness 212-
907-0051 or e-mail debrajcaruso@aol.com.
Questions and answers
Q: What is the Federal Long Term Care Insurance
Program (FLTCIP)?
A: The U.S. Office of Personnel Management sponsors a
high-quality long-term care insurance program for mem-
bers of the federal family. The FLTCIP is the largest
group long-term care insurance program in the country,
probably in the world. Created in 2000 by Federal law
(Public Law 106-265, the Long-Term Care Security Act), it
is the only long-term care insurance program sponsored
by the federal government.
Q: What does long term care insurance cover?
A: Long-term care insurance pays benefits to cover serv-
ices that individuals may need because they are unable to
care for themselves due to chronic mental or physical con-


itary


employees


editions. The Program offers a flexible benefits package
covering a variety of services, such as:
Nursing home care
Home health care
Assisted living facilities
Adult day care
Q: Who is eligible to apply for the FLTCIP?
A: The Long-Term Care Security Act of 2000 makes
approximately 20 million people eligible to apply for this
insurance. It provides active and retired members of the
-uniformed services, federal employees and annuitants,
and their qualified relatives (parents and in-laws of active
employees or members of the uniformed services, and the
adult children of actives or retirees/annuitants) the oppor-
tunity to apply for coverage at group rates.
Q: How do I apply for long term care insurance?
A: The FLTCIP is administered by Long Term Care
Partners, LLC, and offered by John Hancock Life
Insurance Company and Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company. You can contact Long Term Care Partners toll-
free at 1-800-LTC-FEDS (1-800-582- 3337), TTY: 1-800-
843-3557 to request an information kit and application or
to speak to one of their certified long term care insurance
consultants. These highly trained LTC Partners employ-
ees do not work on commission.

information about the program, to order an information
kit and application or to use the interactive calculator
that lets you customize a premium quote based upon your

CNO presents memorandum


of understanding to NNOA


From the Chief of Naval Operations
Public Affairs Office
In a ceremony at the U.S. Navy
Memorial in late November, Chief of
Naval Operations Adm. Mike Mullen
presented a signed Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) to the National
Naval Officers Association (NNOA).
The memorandum, signed by Mullen and
then NNOA National President Rear Adm.
Manson Brown on Sept: 30, 2006, re-
affirmed a cooperative relationship
between the NNOA and the Navy to
achieve mutual goals for diversity in the
workforce. ? ?
"What NNOA is at a high-level, and try-
ing to get done, is representing and advo-
cating for the most positive qualities of a
diverse officer corps for all of the sea serv-
ices," Mullen said to members of the
Washington, D.C. chapter. "I was proud
and delighted to sign this memorandum."?
Specifically, the MOU calls for develop-
ing, implementing and improving strate-
gies for the achievement and management
of a diverse workforce of Navy officers and
enlisted personnel; establishing and main-
taining a positive image of the Navy in
NNOA's communities of influence; and
providing personal and professional devel-
opment, training opportunities and posi-
tive experiences.
"I have felt for a long time, as someone
very committed to the diversity of our
Navy, that it's a compelling imperative for
the future," said Mullen. "It is very much
tied to how I view our responsibilities."
The MOU commits NNOA to becoming
more involved in Navy recruiting and
retention efforts and in providing opportu-
nities for Navy personnel to participate -


in a private capacity in outreach and
community-based programs.
"This is hot just about young people
being mentored from the minority stand-
point, this is about all of us pitching in,"
Mullen said. "NNOA is a special group.
Their outreach is important."
"This presentation represents a signifi-
cant chapter in the history of NNOA," said
current NNOA National President Capt.
Bernard Jackson. "The members of NNOA
look forward to responding to the challenge
before us and doing our part to bring about
a more diverse workforce in the Sea
Services."
The Navy, in turn, will identify regional
and local recruiting offices to coordinate
with NNOA chapters across the country;
include NNOA members in Navy-spon-
sored training and career development
programs when applicable; and designate
the Chief of Naval Personnel's Diversity
Directorate as the service's liaison with
NNOA on major matters.?The CNO said
he was eager to get started.
"I am anxious to do it at a very high pace
and that we make as much happen as
quickly as we possibly can," he said. "It's
not me, it's us. From the leadership, we
are all very, very committed to that."
Established in 1970, NNOA is composed
of active duty, reserve and retired officers
and civilians who actively support the sea
services in the development of a diverse
workforce through recruitment, retention
and career development. The organization
is sanctioned by the Secretaries of the
Navy and Transportation and is a member
of the Navy and Marine Corps Council.
NNOA has members of all ranks and eth-
nic groups.

How to be on guard



when holiday



shopping online


From the Internet


Thinking about shopping for the holi-
days? It's no secret that browsing
and buying online can save you time,
money, and effort. The Federal Trade
Commission (FTC), the nation's consumer
protection agency, says shoppers who stop
and think before they click can prevent an
online Scrooge from interfering with their
purchases and ultimately, their holiday
fun.
The FTC and the technology industry
recently launched OnguardOnline, a cam-
paign to help consumers integrate online
*safety into their daily online routines. The
agency says that consumers who take a few
precautions when they're online can help
minimize the chances of a mishap. Among
the tips from OnGuardOnline.gov are:
Know who you're dealing with. Anyone
can set up shop online. Confirm an online
seller's physical address and phone number
in case you need to get in touch with them.
If you get an email or pop-up message from
the seller while you're browsing that asks
for financial information, don't reply or
click on the link in the message. Legitimate
companies don't ask for this information
via email or pop-ups.?
Read between the lines. Read the seller's
description of the product closely, especial-
ly the fine print. Words like "refurbished,"
"vintage," or "close-out" may indicate that
the product is in less-than-mint condition;
name-brand items with "too good to be
true" prices could be counterfeits.?
Calculate the costs. Check out websites
that offer price comparisons and then, com-
pare "apples to apples." Factor shipping
and handling into the total cost of the
:order. Then, stack these costs against your
budget and needs.?
Pay by credit or charge card. Do not send
cash under any circumstances. If you pay
by credit or charge card online, your trdns-
action will be protected by the Fair Credit
Billing Act. Under this law, you have the
right to dispute charges under certain cir-
cumstances and temporarily withhold pay-
ment while the creditor is investigating. In
the event your credit or charge card is used
without your knowledge and permission,
you generally are liable for no more than
$50 in charges per card. Many companies
do not hold consumers responsible for any
unauthorized charges made online, and
some card issuers may provide additional
warranty, return, and/or purchase protec-
tion benefits.?
Check out the terms of the deal, like
refund policies and delivery dates. Can you
return the item for a full refund? If you
return it, who pays the shipping costs or
restocking fees? Check on when you can
expect to receive your order. The law
requires sellers to ship items as promised
or within 30 days after the order date if no
specific date is promised. Can the recipient

return your gift? If so, ask that a gift
receipt be included in the package.?
Keep a paper trail. Print and save
records of your online transactions, includ-
ing the product description and price, the
online receipt, and copies of any email you
exchange with the seller. Read your credit
card statements as you receive them to be
on the lookout for unauthorized charges.?
Don't email your financial information.
Email is not a secure method of transmit-
ting financial or personal information like
your credit card, checking account, or
Social Security Number, If you begin a
transaction and want to provide your finan-
cial information through an organization's
website, look for indicators that the site is
secure, like a lock icon on the browser's sta-
tus bar or a URL for a website that begins
"https:" (the "s" stands for "secure").
Unfortunately, no indicator is foolproof;
some fraudulent sites have forged security
icons.?
Use anti-virus software and a firewall
and update them regularly. Anti-virus soft-
ware protects your computer from viruses
that can destroy your data, slow your com-
puter's performance, cause a crash, or even
allow spammers to send email through
your account. -It scans your computer and
incoming email for viruses, deleting them.
Your anti-virus software should update
routinely with antidotes to the latest "bugs"
circulating through .the Internet. Firewalls
help keep hackers from using your comput-
er to send out your personal information
without your permission. Think of a fire-
wall as a guard, watching for outside
attempts to access your system and block-
ing communications to and from sources
you don't permit. If your operating system
doesn't include a firewall, get a separate
software firewall, or install a hardware
firewall an external device that includes
firewall software.?
Check a company's privacy policy before
doing business. It should let you know
what personal information the website
operators are collecting, why, and how
they're going to use it. If you can't find a
privacy policy or if you can't understand
it consider taking your business to
another site that's more security-conscious
and customer-friendly.
The FTC works for the consumer to pre-
vent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair busi-
ness practices in the marketplace and to
provide information to help consumers
spot, stop and avoid them. To file a com-
plaint or to get free information on con-
sumer issues, visit www.ftc.gov or call toll-.

Only authorized commissary shoppers
can access the Virtual Commissary, howev-
er anyone can purchase or donate the "gift
of groceries." Keep in mind that the gift
cards can only be spent by authorized shop-
pers.
The commissary gift certificates can be
easily purchased in small denominations at
any commissary worldwide, or purchased in
a variety of amounts for delivery anywhere

Holiday safety tips


From the Internet
he holidays are an exciting time
of year for kids, and to help
ensure they have a safe holiday
season, here are some tips from the
American Academy of Pediatrics:
Trees
When purchasing an artificial tree,
look for the label "Fire Resistant."
When purchasing a live tree, check
for freshness. A fresh tree is green, nee-
dles are hard to pull from branches and
when bent between your fingers, nee-
dles do not break. The trunk butt of a
fresh tree is sticky with resin, and when
tapped on the ground, the tree should
not lose many needles.
When setting up a tree at home,
place it away from fireplaces, radiators
or portable heaters. Place the tree out of
the way of traffic and do not block door-
ways.
Cut a few inches off the trunk of
your tree to expose the fresh wood. This
allows for better water absorption and
will help to keep your tree. from drying
out and becoming a fire hazard.
Be sure to keep the stand filled with
water, because heated rooms can dry
live trees out rapidly.
Lights
Never use electric lights on a metal-
lic tree. The tree can become charged
with electricity from faulty lights, and a
person touching a branch could be elec-
trocuted.
Before using lights outdoors, check
labels to be sure they have been certi-
fied for outdoor use. To hold lights in
place, string them through hooks or
insulated staples, not nails or tacks.
Never pull or tug lights to remove them.
Check all tree lights-even if you've
just purchased them-before hanging
them on your tree. Make sure all the
bulbs work and that there are no frayed
wires, broken sockets or loose connec-
tions.
Plug all outdoor electric decorations
into circuits with ground fault circuit
interrupters to avoid potential shocks.
Turn off all lights when you go to
bed or leave the house. The lights could
short out and start a fire.
Decorations
Use only' non-combustible or flame-
resistant materials to trim a tree.
Choose tinsel or artificial icicles of
plastic or nonleaded metals.
Never use lighted candles on a tree
or near other evergreens. Always use
non-flammable holders, and place can-
dles where they will not be knocked
down. .
In homes with small children, take
special care to avoid decorations that
are sharp or breakable, keep trimmings
with small removable parts out of the
reach of children to avoid the child owal-
lowing or inhaling small pieces, and
avoid trimmings that resemble candy or
food that may tempt a young child to eat
them.'
Wear gloves to. avoid eye and skin
irritation while decorating with spun
glass "angel hair." Follow container
directions carefully to avoid lung irrita-
tion while decorating with artificial
snow sprays.
Remove all wrapping papers, bags,

paper, ribbons and bows from tree and
fireplace areas after gifts are opened.
These items can pose suffocation and
choking hazards to a small child or can
cause a fire if near flame.
Toy. Safety
Select toys to suit the age, abilities,
skills and interest level of the intended
child. Toys too advanced may pose safe-
ty hazards for younger children.
-Before buying a toy or allowing your
child to play with a toy that he has
received as a gift, read the instructions
carefully.
To prevent both burns and electrical
shocks, don't give young children (under
age ten) a toy that must be plugged into
an electrical outlet. Instead, buy toys
that are battery-operated.
Children under age three can choke
on small parts contained in toys or
games. Government regulations specify
that toys for children under age three
cannot have parts less than 1 1/4 inches
in diameter and 2 1/4 inches long.
Children under age 8 can choke or
suffocate on uninflated or broken bal-
loons. Remove strings and ribbons from
toys before giving them to young chil-
dren.
Watch for pull toys with strings that
are more than 12 inches in length. They
could be a strangulation hazard for
babies.
Food Safety
Bacteria are often present in raw
foods. Fully cook meats and poultry, and
thoroughly wash raw vegetables and
fruits.
Be sure to keep hot liquids and
foods away from the edges of counters
and tables, where they can be easily
knocked over by a young child's explor-
ing hands.
Wash your hands frequently, and
make sure your children do the same.
Never put a spoon used to taste food
back into food without washing it.
Always keep raw foods and cooked
food' separate, and use separate uten-
sils when preparing them.
Always thaw meat in the refrigera-
tor, never on the countertop.
Foods that require refrigeration
should never be left at room tempera-
ture for mere than two hours.
Happy Visiting
Clean up immediately after a holi-
day party. A toddler could rise early and
choke on leftover food or come in contact
with alcohol or tobacco.
Remember that the homes you visit
may not be childproofed. Keep an eye
out for danger spots.
Keep a laminated list with all of the
important phone numbers you or a
baby-sitter are likely to need in case of
an emergency. Include the police and
fire department, your pediatrician and
the national Poison Help Line, 1-800-
222-1222.
Traveling, visiting family members,
getting presents, shopping, etc., can all
increase your child's stress levels.
Trying to stick to your child's usual rou-
tines, including sleep schedules and
timing of naps, can help you and your
child enjoy the holidays and reduce
stress.
