Commentary by Cynthia BryantVPP Manager, 88 ABW/XP

What do the following programsshare: Voluntary Protection Pro-gram (VPP); Wingman Boldface Pro-gram; Air Force Smart Operationsin the 21st Century (AFSO21); theIntegrated Delivery System (IDS);and Balanced Scorecard (BSC)?

The answer is - they are programsaimed at improving how we get thejob done and helping each other.

As employees and residents ofWright-Patterson AFB, most of youare familiar with how the WingmanBoldface Program and IDS provideaccountability and programs to sup-port people – our most importantasset. AFSO21 and BSC focus on get-ting the job done and makingimprovements. But, at least in name,VPP may be a new program.

So what is VPP and how does ittie these other programs together?

VPP is a program of the Occupa-tional Safety and Health Adminis-tration (OSHA). It started in 1982with a focus on OSHA safety com-pliance in private sector industries.Companies, found OSHA compliantwith safety regulations and focused

on protecting their workers, receivedOSHA VPP Star designation as safeworksites.

VPP Star designation allowed com-panies with superior safety programsto be removed from scheduled orprogrammed OSHA inspections.Companies properly implementingsafe processes soon realized dra-matic reductions in serious acci-dents, reduced workers’ compensa-tion costs and lowered insurancerates.

VPP Star certified companies evenreport reductions of 50 to 85 percentin workers’ compensation cost andinjuries.

The Department of Defense (DOD)experiences workplace injuries andeven deaths just like industry. AcrossDOD preventable injuries and ill-nesses cost between $10 and $21 bil-lion per year. Yes, billions of dollars.

So, in 2006 then Secretary ofDefense Donald Rumsfeld chal-lenged DOD to improve safety in the

workplace and to reduce those costs.The Defense Safety Oversight Coun-cil (DSOC) was formed and charteredto make the Secretary’s vision a real-ity. The tool they chose was OSHA’sVPP and its coveted Star Site desig-nation.

Air Force leaders looked to theircommanders to support the Secre-tary’s vision. Gen. Bruce Carlsonlooked to AFMC installations to meetthe VPP challenge. Wright-Patter-son was one of the first five AFMCinstallations earmarked to take theVPP challenge.

Sure if you think about it otherbases like the Air Logistics Centers(ALCs) have much heavier aircraftrelated missions than we do so theyprobably have more accidents thanWright-Patterson does. But injurieshappen here too.

Did you know that last year $4 mil-lion was paid out in workers’ com-pensation just for our base? Don’tget me wrong, these costs don’t meanWright-Patterson is an unsafe place.Most times injuries happen becausepeople take shortcuts, make mis-takes and get careless.

at such low altitudes that hesnagged a barbwire fence anddragged about a thousand feet of itback to the base. Although volun-teering for service overseas, heremained in the United Statesthroughout World War II. He said, “Ibegan to realize that if I had goneoverseas, I might not have beenhere today.”

Wenglar introduced Bob Hoover,saying that Gen. Jimmy Doolittlecalled Hoover “the greatest stickand rudder pilot that there’s everbeen.”

Hoover said that after his pilottraining, he led six P-40 Warhawkspiloted by lieutenants to MorrisonField, Fla. “I landed and my lieu-tenants followed me. After Istopped, a major pulled up in a staffcar and ‘read me off’ for about 10

minutes. He said that an enlistedman is not permitted to taxi an air-plane.”

He also recalled doing “a lot ofmopping in the latrine and peelingpotatoes and this is while I was afighter pilot. I finally told the com-manding officer I didn’t think thiswas right, and from that day on, hebegan treating me like a gentleman.

“I felt that I grew up in the serv-ice. Everything that happened inmy life, I owe to the Air Force. AndI’m very proud of my geriatricfriends (Shot down during WorldWar II, Hoover, in his 80s, still fliesin air shows all across the coun-try.).

In introducing Yeager, Wenglarspoke of a very expensive horse in afield a quarter of a mile away. Hesaid that a rifle was fired, and the

horse dropped. He implied thatYeager had shot it.

Yeager responded, saying, “Thankyou, you liar.” Then he spoke of hisexperiences early on in the mili-tary. Enlisting in September 1941,he was a mechanic and crew chief,but he noticed that “pilots hadclean fingernails and nice women. Isaw a notice on a bulletin board(advertising the enlisted pilots pro-gram) and decided to try it.”

He added that he “wasn’t a verysmart kid,” and “had never been inan airplane.” After his first flight inan AT-11, he threw up and thought,“Man, you’ve made a (heck) of a bigmistake.”

He got over it. A World War II ace,Yeager eventually was regarded asone of the very best test pilots,beginning that type of flying with

the Bell X-1. Stationed at Wright-Patterson for part of his career, hesaid, “I spent 65 years in Air Forcecockpits.” Just a month before, he’dflown an F-16 at supersonic speeds.

He closed, saying, “When Bob(Hoover) and I landed yesterday, itwas the first time we flew heretogether since 1947.”

Wenglar wished the audience“Ceiling and visibility unlimited(CAVU, a World War II acronym),”and received a solid silver NCOcoin. He then directed members ofthe AACEPA to give each of theirescorts a coin.

Col. Colleen M. Ryan, base com-mander, closed the event by saying,“We’re thrilled, honored and hum-bled by you and to hear your sto-ries. It’s not often we get to sit in thepresence of such legends.”

AFRL directed energy scientist named DEPS fellow by John SchutteHuman Effectiveness Directorate

Dr. Michael Murphy, scientificdirector of the Air ForceResearch Laboratory’s Hum-

an Effectiveness Directorate, Dire-cted Energy Bioeffects Division atBrooks City-Base, Texas, has beennamed a fellow of the DirectedEnergy Professional Society.

The society fosters research anddevelopment in directed energytopics—including high-energy las-er and high-power microwave tech-nologies for national defense andcivilian applications— through pro-fessional communication and edu-cation.

Fellows of the Directed EnergyProfessional Society are recog-nized as esteemed members of thedirected energy community whohave given distinguished serviceand made significant creative con-tributions to the community. To beselected as a fellow, nominees musthave at least 10 years of activepractice in the directed energyfield.

“Dr. Murphy’s significant contri-

butions and impact on national andinternational radio frequencyexposure standards, his involve-ment as representative to theWorld Health Organization and hisresearch contributions to nonlethalweapon technologies have beenvital to developing and transition-ing directed energy weapons to ourwarfighters,” said Dr. Garrett Pol-hamus, Directed Energy BioeffectsDivision chief.

From 1994-2004, Dr. Murphy ledthe technical challenge of bioef-fects support for the Active DenialSystem program, a radio-fre-quency-based counter-personnelnon-lethal weapon.

He also led the formation of theDirected Energy Bioeffects Institute,which is the first government/aca-demia consortium to collaborate theUnited States research and devel-opment efforts focused on directedenergy bioeffects.

A member of the Bioelectro-magnetics Society, the IEEE Engi-neering in Medicine and BiologySociety, and the IEEE StandardsBoard, Dr. Murphy also serves asinternational liaison for the IEEE

International Committee for Elec-tromagnetic Safety.

Dr. Murphy, who earned a BS inpsychology from Occidental Col-lege, Los Angeles, and a Ph.D inneuroscience from MIT, wasinducted as an AFRL Fellow in2006 in recognition of his extensiveresearch career in radiofrequency

bioeffects research and interna-tional collaboration for radio fre-quency bioeffects. He joinedAFRL, then known as the Air ForceArmstrong Laboratory, in 1989.

Dr. Murphy’s other recent honorsinclude the 2002 Air Force Scienceand Engineering Award forExploratory Technology Develop-ment, the 2003 IEEE StandardsBoard Medallion, and the 2004 IEEEStandards Board InternationalAward. He was named a Fellow ofthe American Institute of Medicaland Biological Engineers in 2005.

The DEPS fellowship wasbestowed at the 10th AnnualDirected Energy Symposium ban-quet on Nov. 7 in Huntsville, Ala.

The symposium brings togetherresearchers, managers, and policymakers from government offices,Department of Defense, Depart-ment of Energy and other nationallaboratories, program offices, theintelligence community, industry,universities, and other scientificand engineering institutions to dis-cuss current programs and thefuture of directed energy technol-ogy.

Most of our reported injuries arethe result of being hit by an object(70 cases) or slips, trips and falls (51cases falling on the same level and24 cases caused by falls from aheight).

Don’t think of VPP as just a safetyprogram. It isn’t. It’s a workplacemanagement and cultural program.Remember the words in Gen. Carl-son’s Sept. 18 AFMC/CC Comman-der’s Log? He said:

“To call VPP a safety programgreatly underestimates the power ofthe program and misses the point.Sure, a goal of VPP is to create asafer workplace, but VPP is aboutgiving you the power to improve theoverall quality of life in your work-place. It’s not a program but a mind-set.

“VPP requires involvement fromeach and every level of the organi-zation. From the worker on the shopfloor, to the first line supervisors, tothe commander; everyone must beon board to make this work. Andjust like with AFSO21, the key to thislies with you. If you become seri-ous about improving your work envi-ronment, VPP can be the tool tobring about real, positive change. Ifthere are issues in your work place– you know what they are. You knowthe safety hazards that may havebecome accepted over time. Youknow the deficiencies that make itless pleasant to go to work in themorning. Basically, you know whatneeds to be fixed … VPP is designedto give you an avenue to fix it.

“Leadership has the responsibly tolisten, and take action. All that said,I believe VPP is most successfulwhen you can fix deficiencies on-the-spot without the bureaucraticrunaround. I’ve made it very clear tothe senior leaders in AFMC that Iam serious about VPP and leader-ship’s responsibility to make it suc-cessful.”

On Oct. 25, Col. Colleen Ryanhosted a VPP leadership trainingsession with leaders within the 88ABW. She said “safety is everyone’sresponsibility”. An expert consult-ant, Paul Savage, representing theDOD VPP Center of Excellence(DOD VPP CX), brought the key ele-

ments of VPP to the forefront formanagement and union leadership.He helped us to see how team work,mutual accountability, and commit-ment to protecting each other canhelp us meet DOD, AF, AFMC andjust plain human goals to stay safe.

Okay so you weren’t at the Oct. 25meeting… Keep your eyes and earsopen because you will be learningmore about VPP and why it is impor-tant. Pay attention in upcoming com-mander’s calls. Check out the signsat the base gates.

See our VPP Community of Prac-tice (COP) at either https:// afkm.wpafb.af.mil/ASPs/CoP/EntryCoP.asp?Filter=OO-SE-MC-12 or accessthrough Knowledge Now through theAF Portal using the link https://wwwd.my.af.mil/afknprod/ASPs/CoP/EntryCoP.asp?Filter=OO-SE-MC-12

Remember, the key elements of VPPare: management, leadership andemployee involvement; hazard pre-vention and control; safety and healthtraining; and worksite analysis.

Summed up – you protect me, Iprotect you. We can do this if we allwork together – management,employees, union members, non-union members, military, civiliansand contractors.

Let’s make sure we pay attention to

our surroundings. Know where ourworkplace hazards exist and pointout problems so they get fixed. Ifyou’re in the car, stay off your cellphone, obey traffic rules, watch forthose pedestrians who really havethe right of way and don’t speed.

If you’ve had too much to drink,call Airmen Against Drunk Drivers(AADD) 257-RIDE (7433). They arethere to help.

Trust me – Gen. Carlson, Lt. Gen.Jack Hudson, ASC Commanderand Col. Colleen Ryan, 88 ABWCommander want our base to besafe for all of us no matter who weare or where we work. Rememberthat safety is everybody’s respon-sibility.

Don’t you want our Wright Patter-son AFB community to be safe? Ido.

Members of the 88th Air Base Wing staff attended VPP Executive Training Oct. 25. The training, conducted by Mr. Paul Sav-age, explained the VPP program of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) The Department of Defense(DOD) experiences workplace injuries and even deaths just like industry. The Defense Safety Oversight Council (DSOC) wasformed and chartered in 2006, they chose OSHA’s VPP and its coveted Star Site designation to improve safety in the work-place and to reduce costs.

Don’t Drink and Drive! Remember to call Airmen Against Drunk Driving at 257-RIDE (7433)

Commentary by Lt. Col. Timothy Coger379th Expeditionary MaintenanceSquadron commander

SOUTHWEST ASIA (AFPN) —As we make our way through andcomplete a Wingman Week here, Ithought it fitting to share somethoughts on the wingman conceptand the concept of the Culture ofResponsible Choices, or CoRC.

The wingman concept was born inthe war-torn skies over Europe dur-ing the First World War, where it wasquickly learned flying solo againstthe enemy had dangerous conse-quences on both the offense anddefense. Having a wingman meantthere were two sets of eyes — betterthan one; twice the firepower; some-one to watch your vulnerable rearsector, your “six” or 6-o’clock posi-tion, when pressing an attack; afriendly face to stay with and pro-tect as a damaged aircraft, orwounded pilot limped back towardfriendly lines.

I’m glad the Air Force made a con-certed effort in recent years to takethis concept out of the operationsrealm and bring it into our daily livesas Airmen. The concept in combatmakes perfect sense, but it alsomakes sense in our everyday livesand as we accomplish the more mun-dane day-to-day operations — Air-men taking care of Airmen. A morerecent addition to the wingman con-cept is the CoRC.

CoRC has a lot to do with individ-ual actions, but also rings true in agroups. CoRC, initially conceived as

a way to counter destructivebehaviors of alcohol and drugabuse, has the potential for a muchwider scope.

Let’s examine the three key wordsof CoRC and place them in perspec-tive for us as Airmen.

CULTURE - this is our set of ideas,values, methods, tactics that we asAirmen all have in common and setsus apart from others.

RESPONSIBLE - Webster useswords like: answerable, accountablefor something in one’s control orpower, having the capacity for moraldecisions.

CHOICE - the right or opportunitymake a selection from a variety ofoptions.

What does this mean to Airmenand what are we trying to achieve?We are trying to create a group ofpeople dedicated to the nation’sdefense that when given the oppor-tunity, will make the right and smartdecision in line with our values ofintegrity, service and excellence forthe good of the mission and thenation.

We are trying to get every Airmanto think through his or her actionsand anticipate the good and bad con-sequences, then act in the best inter-est for his or her personal safetyand in the execution of the mission.Applying CoRC to everyday life andAir Force situations gives individ-ual Airmen the chance to do the rightthing for themselves, not just for sub-stance abuse, such as binge drink-ing, driving drunk, or using drugs.

Here are some common examples

of applying CoRC: not driving too fastfor conditions, wearing seatbelts,using proper personal protectiveequipment when doing a job, follow-ing technical data, following regula-tions and instructions.

It really comes down to thinkingbefore acting and anticipating theeffects of personal actions, not onlyfor yourself, but those around you.CoRC principles, applied by super-visors and leaders will reap tremen-dous benefits as we accomplish ourdemanding missions too.

Leaders, make the right and smartdecisions for your fellow Airmen that

will not endanger any of them or theability to accomplish the mission.The benefits can be improved effi-ciency, preservation of mission essen-tial assets, both materiel and per-sonnel. In theory, if each and everywingman applies CoRC effectivelywe can drastically reduce negativeconsequences that befall too manyof our Airmen.

So when we are out there doingthe mission, or just doing the every-day things in life, let’s take care ofourselves and our fellow wingmen:live the core values, think before youact and make responsible choices.

Aviation legends visit Wright-Pattersonby Mike WallaceSkywrighter Staff

About 40 Army Air Corps Enlisted PilotsAssociation members, their families andfriends held a reunion at Wright-Pat-

terson last week. Their activities included asocial Thursday evening; tours of the NationalMuseum of the U.S. Air Force including theoutdoor Enlisted Pilots memorial and indoorEnlisted Pilots display, and Huffman PrairieFlying Field; and a luncheon at the base Cluband Banquet Center Friday.

Among the people attending were retiredBrig. Gen. Ed Wenglar, association president;Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager, legendary test pilotand World War II ace; Bob Hoover, aerobaticpilot and businessman and Carroll Shelby,designer of the Ford Mustang performance carand winner of the 1959 Le Mans sports car race.Also attending was retired Maj. Leonard Arbon,author of They Also Flew, a book about theenlisted pilots.

In U.S. military history between 1912 and1942, about 4,150 pilots trained and flew asenlisted men.

The handful of people at the beginning grewrapidly at the onset of World War II when Con-gress authorized a training program to meetpilot shortages. Enlisted pilots destroyednearly 250 enemy aircraft, and 26 became acesand 13 became general officers.

In an interview, Wenglar recalled some of

his experiences, such as entering the Army in1941 from his home in Texas. “After high school,there were no jobs available. There was noth-ing but cotton stalks, and there’s nothing excit-ing about cotton stalks. I wanted to be aroundairplanes. We were still feeling the GreatDepression. I joined the Army, got paid $21 amonth, and I sent $10 home.”

Describing public attitudes, Wenglar said,“Back then (before the United States enteredWorld War II), the country was equally dividedabout the war—like it is today. Half were for it,and half against. And the opinion towards sol-diers was the opposite of what it is today. Therewere signs reading “No dogs or soldiersallowed,’ and mothers would grab their daugh-ters and run. But once the Japanese declaredwar, opinions changed.”

Wenglar said that original requirements foracceptance into enlisted pilot training includedbeing a high school graduate, finishing in theupper half of his high school class, and notbeing married or ever getting married.

During World War II, Wenglar flew mostlytransports. Later, after joining the Air ForceReserve, he became flight commander of the10th Air Force, and was responsible for thearea “from Ohio to Utah, and Canada to Mex-ico.” He stopped flying in 1974, and retired in1983. He again lives in Texas.

Of the association, he said, “There are about370 of us left. I’m 85, and I’m one of the youngerones.” Brig. Gen. Ed Wenglar

Wright-Patterson Air Force Baseorganizations are ramping up for aseries of exercises over the next yearin preparation for an anticipated Oper-ational Readiness Inspection in fall2008.

During the coming months, baseorganizations will participate in fre-quent exercises designed to providebase personnel the opportunity topractice and improve the processesthat will be evaluated during the ORI.

The ORI and associated preparatoryactivities, between now and then, arekey to testing the base’s real-worldreadiness, say officials managing exer-cise efforts and planning.

“An ORI is an evaluation that vali-dates our war-time mission,” Maj.Jason Jackson, chief of installationreadiness, inspections and exercises,said. “An ORI and the preparationleading up to it promote a constantstate of readiness and keep usfocused.”

Exercises and activities throughoutthe next few months will include a

Phase I, which encompasses wartimedeployment activities such as a UnitDeployment Manager preparation anddeployment processing line, and aPhase II, which involves simulatingteams employed in a contingency loca-tion. Events also will focus on usingthe Air Force Incident ManagementSystem, the command structure used toquickly and decisively manage emer-gencies when they occur.

The base achieved an overall ratingof excellent during the December 2004ORI.

According to Carmen Riches, chief ofexercise planning, organizations needto take steps now to posture for exer-cises and the ORI. Such measures arepart of a daily effort vital to helpingbase organizations meet ORI goals.

“This is the time to start working ata group level to work self-inspectionchecklists and anything that could bean ORI-related process,” Riches said.

According to Lt. Gen. Jack Hudson,ASC commander, an ORI offers thecenter a pivotal opportunity to demon-strate acquisition surge capabilities.

“As a member of the Global War onTerror warfighting team, the acquisi-

tion community has streamlined andimproved our processes to meet theurgent needs of our warfighting part-ners as they counter a continuouslyadaptive enemy,” Gen. Hudson said.“We have applied our technical andmanagement skills to bring themimproved capabilities in a timely man-ner through concentrated teamwork.

“Part of the fall 2008 ORI will focuson our ability to meet rapid capabilityimprovements for the warfighter usingthe current ASC acquisition surgeprocesses that we exercise on a dailybasis.”

For Col. Colleen Ryan, 88th ABWcommander, full base participationand teamwork are critical elements inachieving success in the ORI anddemonstrating the base’s deploymentreadiness.

“The ORI gives us the opportunity todemonstrate to the Air Force MaterielCommand Inspector General’s officethat we deploy personnel fully trainedand prepared for the demands of 21stCentury warfighting missions,” Col.Ryan said. “We are ready.”

Another essential ORI componentis testing an organization’s readiness in

supporting families. “Equally as important to us is the

way we prepare and provide for thespouses of our deployed members,”Col. Ryan said. “We are proud of ourprograms that take care of those left athome as well.”

Preparing for an ORI and conductingexercises require attention to detailand time to prepare and practice, Maj.Jackson said.

“This is the start of the Wright-Pat-terson Air Force Base drum beat, get-ting ready for the 2008 ORI,” Maj. Jack-son said. “There are fine-grain detailsand evaluation requirements toaddress, in an environment wherecompeting priorities require consid-erable attention during the year. Wewill effectively use this year to pre-pare.

“The ORI needs to stay on the scopeof the base populace, including con-tractors, civilians, and service mem-bers combined, to ensure we meet ourgoals for the year ahead. We have anexpeditionary spirit, and this is ouropportunity to show it.”

F-22 gets thumbs up from AFOTECby Laura McGowan88th Public Affairs

The Air Force OperationalTest and Evaluation Center(AFO TEC) recently com-

pleted Follow-on Operational Testand Evaluation of the Raptor’sIncrement 2 Modernization Pro-gram with an “effective and suit-able” rating.

This rating confirms that the F-22weapons system meets warfighterneeds and is absolutely ready forcombat operations.

“This test proved the Raptor’sability to provide air dominanceby simultaneously attacking air-borne and ground targets in highthreat environments,” said Col.Jimmy Clark, commander ofAFOTEC’s Detachment 6, NellisAFB, Nev. “The test also, for thefirst time, demonstrated capabil-ity to conduct simultaneous air-to-air and air-to-ground live weaponsemployment on the Utah Test andTraining Range.”

“That’s great news for the AirForce as we continue to field anddeploy the world’s only operational5th generation fighter,” said Brig.Gen. C.D. Moore, commander of the478th Aeronautical Systems Winghere.

From concept development tosystem fielding, AFOTEC maintains

an operational focus to ensure ourwarfighters have the right tools towin tomorrow’s battles. AFOTECtesting evaluates new weapon sys-tems in realistic battlespace envi-ronments providing decision mak-ers accurate, balanced, and com-plete assessment of mission capa-bility.

The capabilities evaluated byAFOTEC testing included missiongeneration, mission support, andenhancements to air-to-air and air-to-ground employment capabilities.The testing also evaluated correc-tions to several key deficiencyareas noted in previous test andevaluation efforts.

AFOTEC results confirmed theF-22 provides the warfighter awe-some lethality in both the air-to-air and air-to-ground roles. At thesame time, the jet is now easierand less costly to maintain, result-ing in improved sortie generationand a coveted “suitable” rating.

The AFOTEC test results comeon the heels of a number of pro-gram successes: the F-22 AEFdeployment to Japan earlier in theyear further proved the capabilityof the aircraft and the warfighter’sability to generate sorties; the F-22fleet has been flying OperationNoble Eagle missions since enter-ing operations; the Raptor earnedthe 2006 Collier Trophy as the pre-

mier aerospace achievement in thecountry; and F-22’s shined in theirinitial participation in Red Flagexercises.

The program has delivered 104Raptors to date. There are nowtwo full F-22 operational squadronsat Langley with another nearly fullsquadron of Raptors at Elmendorf,and there is now a brand new F-22training facility at Sheppard AFB,Texas. In the future, a secondsquadron will be coming on line at

Elmendorf, a squadron at Hickamand two squadrons at Holloman.

The F-22’s combination of greaterreliability, maintainability andavailability combined withunmatched performance gives atremendous advantage to ourwarfighters both on the ground andin the air. This advantage will con-tinue as we add additional combatcapability such as Small DiameterBomb integration now undergoingF-22 testing at Edwards, AFB.

Wright brother’s airplane and the words “FirstSchoolhouse of Aviation.” Together the generaland the mayor pulled a string that dropped a tarpto reveal the nose art.

“This is the home of firsts,” said AmandaWright-Lane, great grand niece of the Wrightbrothers about Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.“It’s my honor to be here to congratulate boththe 445th and the City of Fairborn.”

Wright-Lane, one of the honored guests, spokeabout the flying exhibition team her great unclesoperated in 1910 just a short way from the cere-mony’s location. It was her great uncles first time

setting up a team of acrobatic pilots. It was a day of firsts. The 445th Airlift Wing

dedicated the first of its C-5 Galaxy aircraft toarrive at Wright-Patterson AFB; and for thefirst time, a direct relative of Orville and WilburWright visited the 445th Airlift Wing andboarded a C-5.

Mr. Nagel, an Air Force retiree, addressed thecrowd about how he approached General. Davison the idea of naming a plane for Fairborn.”

“The general said ‘Let’s do it” and today, wedo it,” the mayor said. “We are very proud ofthese citizen airmen.”

The mayor said there is only one city namedFairborn in the world and with the plane bearingthat unique name “Fairborn will be transportedto many locations.”

The 445th, with its global mission, frequentlyflies to Germany and many other countries so thenose art will be seen, literally, around the world.

The idea for a plane dedication came from Mr.John Dalton and Mayor Nagel.

“This is an aviation town,” said Fairborn AreaChamber of Commerce executive director John Dal-ton, also an Air Force Retiree. “It’s appropriate tohave this done.” The city is the home of dozens ofactive duty, reserve and retired Air Force mem-bers

Dalton said that photographs of the plane and itsnose art will be prominently placed on the Cham-bers website and in their marketing brochures.

“We need to give credit to General. Davis for allow-ing this and helping this dedication to happen,”Dalton said. “We were sending correspondence in tothe Air Force, writing proposals; it took about twoyears.”

The 445th has ten C-5 cargo planes based atWright-Patt. The newly dedicated plane wasparked close to Building 4006, the 445th’s newhome of the 89th Airlift Squadron.

Leave room in your garden...Using needle and thread, Charlene Shanks has

sewn a legacy of love for friends, family and Hos-pice of Dayton.

An avid seamstress since childhood, Charlenealways found creative satisfaction in her passionfor sewing. She would alter wedding gowns, craftgifts for friends and family members. She addedembroidery to her skills and participated inclasses at Sew-A-Lot, forming a strong friendshipwith owner Debbie Bernhard.

Charlene was first diagnosed with breast cancerin 1996. “She would go for treatment and thencome to sewing class,” Debbie recalls. “She willnever know what an inspiration she was to me andall of the women in that class. We all have a badday now and then. Anytime I had one of thosemoments, I would look at Charlene and realizethat I had nothing to complain about.”

After four and a half years in remission, Char-lene’s cancer returned. Her husband of 39 years– Gary Shanks – was devastated. They had beenhigh-school sweethearts at Patterson Coop. Theyhad raised a son and a daughter together andwelcomed four grandsons. Gary searched for

some way to support his wife through anotherround of battle with her disease.

His love found expression in the purchase ofsewing equipment that he knew Charlene hadwanted for several years. It was a meaningfulgift that served as a therapeutic outlet for Char-lene and encouraged her to craft a legacy forthose she loved.

She made pillows, clothing, and receiving blan-kets for newborn babies. She gifted her handi-crafts to nieces, nephews, grandchildren andfriends. Her sewing reflected in snug stitches apart of her that would survive and serve as a last-ing reminder of a life dedicated to creatingbeauty. Her craft and her life ended in July of2005 when she died at Hospice of Dayton.

Charlene’s classmates and friends at Sew-A-Lot mourned Charlene’s passing and decided tomake a meaningful memorial to their much-missed friend. “We decided to make a memo-rial quilt in her honor to donate to Hospice ofDayton,” Debbie explains.

“We embroidered flowers for the panels andknew we wanted a garden theme to honor her.

We wanted to include some meaningful sayinginto the quilt, and one of our members cameacross the perfect words when she was outwalking. She repeated the words to herself allthe way home so she wouldn’t forget.”

“Leave Room in Your Garden for Angels toDance” became the centerpiece for the quilt.The group worked on it together and spent timetalking about Charlene.

“It was a good day when we completed it,” Deb-bie recalls tearfully. “Something happened andwe all felt Charlene was present with us. It madeus laugh and it felt right – like it was what Char-lene wanted for us.”

In March 2006 Gary Shanks and Debbie cametogether to Hospice of Dayton to present the quilthonoring Charlene.

Their eyes wet with tears, they rememberedCharlene and her impact on their lives. Theirhope is that the quilt donated in her memory – abeautiful garden themed pattern pieced togetherwith love and remembrance - will continue tocomfort others.

To succeed in school and in life, chil-dren first need to start school ready tolearn and then they need encourag-ing role models and building blocksto help them through to graduation.United Way of the Greater Dayton Areasupports programs and works withnonprofit agencies, area school dis-tricts, local government, and otherorganizations to enhance early child-hood development and ensure chil-dren have the assets they need tobecome productive adults.

Research by the Search Institute inMinneapolis has shown that the moredevelopmental assets children have

in their life growing up, they exhibitmore positive behaviors and fewerriskier behaviors. Consequently, theyare more likely to succeed in schooland become productive adults.

Youth need both external and inter-nal assets. External assets are rela-tionships and opportunities that youngpeople experience in their families,schools and communities. Volunteer-ing and extracurricular activities aswell as caring adult mentors areexamples of external assets. Internalassets are competencies and valuesthat guide the youths’ behaviors anddecisions.

United Way convened the initialmeetings around bringing the 40 Devel-opmental Assets model to the Daytonarea and has invested resources tobuild the community’s capacity toimplement the 40 DevelopmentalAssets model locally. Active partici-pants now include many local schooldistricts, Montgomery County JuvenileCourt, Dayton Metro Library, youth-serving agencies, and members of thefaith community and business sector.

“The initiative sets a framework tosee all of our children as an asset, nota liability,” said Marc Levy, UnitedWay President. “We all need to be a

part of investing in our children andour community’s future. The modellets us be more intentional in investingin our children in a positive way.”

“When children feel invisible, manytry to become visible by acting out andgetting into trouble,” Levy said. “Wedon’t want any child to feel this way.We want all children to feel that theyhave caring adults in their lives. Wewant all adults to see themselves asasset builders for our youth.”

Base marathoner achieves personal goal in D.C.by James BakerSkywrighter staff

After competing in the UnitedStates Air Force Half-Marathon last month, Holly

Layer of the 88th Public Affairs Officeimmediately turned her attention tothe 2007 Marine Corps Marathon heldOct. 28 in Washington, D.C. and nearbyArlington, Va.

Layer set a goal to break the five-hour barrier and thanks to months oftraining, ideal running conditions andself-motivation, she accomplished hergoal when she crossed the finish linein four hours, 52 minutes and 18 sec-onds.

“I was pleased with my time andecstatic when I finished the race,” shesaid. “The scenery of the course andthousands of spectators cheering meon helped immeasurably when thingswere getting tough.”

The annual marathon is the sixth-largest in the United States. The 26.2mile winding course had runners passthe Kennedy Center, Lincoln Memor-ial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Wash-ington Monument and the U.S. Capitolbuilding before finishing at the MarineCorps War Memorial.

Layer said she hit a wall at milemarker 21 when she hit an elevatedone-mile incline across the 14th StreetBridge. The critical part of the race isknown by the runners as “beat thebridge”.

“That was the toughest and mostmentally challenging part of themarathon,” she said. “At that point ofthe race, I just wanted to finish.”

The 24-year old said she had a fourmonth training plan that she foundonline. The preparation immediatelypaid dividends with increased mileageand faster times. She said she main-tained her usual healthy diet and tooksupplements to help heal her musclesquicker.

Another memorable part for Layerwas having her husband, AndrewLayer, track her progress throughoutthe morning.

“I saw (Andrew) four times duringthe race and he was definitely a moti-vating factor,” she said. “He wasimpressed I was staying on the pace Iset for myself and offered words ofencouragement.”

With a pair of marathons now underher belt, having completed the ChicagoMarathon in 2004, Layer said she looksto focus on half-marathons and shorterdistances in the future.

“Full marathons are really toughboth physically and mentally and somuch preparation is involved,” shesaid. “Shorter runs are more fun forme.”

Marathon rookie Kristen Henehanfinished first among the females witha time of 2:51.9. Ethiopia’s TamratAyalew was the first among the 22,000competitors to cross the finish linewith a time of 2:22.18.

Bill Scholvin, of the 88th MedicalGroup Command, has been sta-tioned at Wright-Patterson for

seven years and has participated innumerous intramural activities on baseand doesn’t look to slow down anytimesoon. Scholvin has played softball, soc-cer, volleyball and bowling on base.

“The sports programs I have partic-ipated in here on base have beengood,” said Scholvin. “Like anything,there is room for improvement, butthey’ve always been fun and challeng-ing.”

The 35-year old has played in count-less softball leagues both on and offbase where he usually finds himselfright in the middle of the action on thepitchers mound. He has been instru-mental to their success thanks in partto his team first attitude and all outeffort no matter the situation.

Among his entire athletic prowess,

Scholvin said two individual achieve-ments stand out the most.

“The first one is recently competingin and completing the half-marathon atAli Salem Air Force Base in Kuwait,”he said.

“The second one is when I threw 10strikes in a row during league bowl-ing.”

Scholvin has been a life-long fan ofthe Pittsburgh Steelers football teamand likes to give others a hard time iftheir favorite team happens to be some-one else.

“We won the Super Bowl a coupleyears ago and are looking to go a longway again this year,” he said. “It’s theteam I grew up watching as a child.

“The most memorable athletic eventI have attended so far is attending aSteelers game and watching WillieParker rush for 213 yards at HeinzField.”

Scholvin is already making predic-tions for the upcoming months. He saidhe thinks the Louisiana State Univer-sity Tigers will win the college cham-pionship and not surprisingly, the Steel-ers will once again take home theNational Football League title. TheTech. Sgt. is married to Kris Scholvinwho works on base at the Wright FieldChild Development Program and has adaughter, Taylor Scholvin.

Holiday eating, the healthy wayPamela Doherty, RD andTheresa Siejack , RN, HPDHealth & Wellness Center (HAWC)

The holidays are in full swing,which means lots of family,fun…..and food! But it does-

n’t have to mean extra pounds.Even holiday treats can fit into ahealthy eating plan.

The key is balance and modera-tion. With some preparation, manyof us can make it through the holi-day season, if not any lighter thanwe are, at least not any heavier.

To avoid holiday weight, balancethe calories you consume with thecalories you burn. Physical activ-ity and moderate food choices willhelp.

• Overcome the urge to overeat.Standing by the buffet table istemptation to overeat. Rememberholiday parties are a time to cele-brate with family and friends, notjust food.

• It’s easy to overindulge duringthe holidays.

Make sure to watch portion sizesand select one or two of your

favorites from the host of temptingfoods.

• Leave those extra caloriesbehind— limit your intake forfoods high in fat or added sugar.

• If you drink alcohol, do so in

moderation and resist the sugarymixers.

• Be realistic. Don’t try to dietduring the holidays; just aim tomaintain your present weight.

Food and holiday gatherings go

hand in hand. So join in and helpyourself to some tasty treats.

If you’ve been exercising, keep itup during the holiday season. If youaren’t getting enough exercise, it’s agreat time to start. With a dash of dis-cipline and a pinch of planning, you’llhave a great recipe for holiday funwithout the regret that many of us feelthe next time we step on a scale.

Come join us at the HAWC Nov.16for our annual Healthy Cooking Demowith Chef Theresa.

Watch as she prepares three crockpot favorites; Turkey and Rice Casse-role, Herbed Dressing and PumpkinPie Pudding. Sample a plate. Seatsare limited, $4 person (which coversthe cost of food)

Open season begins Nov. 12 for civilian benefits programsRANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE,

Texas — The Office of PersonnelManagement has announced an openseason will be held Nov. 12 throughDec. 10 for three civilian benefit pro-grams.

The three programs are the Fed-eral Employees Health Benefits Pro-gram, the Federal Employees Dentaland Vision Insurance Program, andthe Federal Flexible SpendingAccount Program.

Federal Employees Health BenefitsPremiums for 2008 will rise an

average of 2 percent for the sec-ond consecutive year. There are283 plan choices in 2008, one lessthan in 2007; 13 plans dropped outand 12 new plans are joining. Thenumber of high deductible healthplans is increasing to 32, up from29 in 2007.

Officials recommend employeesreview and update their health plansduring the open season.

“Open season is the best timefor employees to review theirhealth care coverage, not only tomake desired changes, but toensure their plan hasn’t beenaltered or discontinued,” saidJanet Thomas of the Benefits andEntitlements Service Team here atthe Air Force Personnel Center.“Employees should also review theplan premiums for 2008.”

FEHB premium costs for 2008 arealready available for view on theOPM Web page. Federal BenefitsOpen Season comparison guides andindividual plan brochures will beavailable the week before Open Sea-son begins.

Air Force-serviced civilianemployees will make their FEHBopen season enrollments or changesby one of two methods: EmployeeBenefits Information System orBEST phone system.

— EBIS, a secure Web application,is located behind the Air Force Por-tal and the AFPC Secure Web site.An advantage of making an electionvia EBIS is employees can print a

copy of Standard Form 2809, thehealth benefits election form, assoon as they complete the election.

— The BEST automated phone sys-tem at (800) 616-3775 for employees inthe United States (press 2 for AirForce-serviced civilian, then 2 forBEST benefits and entitlements, andfollow the prompts. Overseasemployees will first dial the AT&Ttoll-free direct access number forthe country they are in, then (800)616-3775. Direct access numbers canbe found at AT&T dial guide. Hear-ing impaired employees may call theTDD line at (800) 382-0893, or com-mercial 565-2276 within San Anto-nio, Texas. Benefits counselors areavailable weekdays, 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.Central Time.

Federal Employee Dentaland Vision Insurance Program

FEDVIP provides supplementaldental and vision insurance cover-age. FEDVIP is group coverage on anenrollee pay all basis. Seven plansoffer dental benefits, and three plansoffer vision benefits, includingregional, national, and internationalcoverage. Three enrollment cate-gories are available: self only, selfplus one, and self and family. Cov-erage and benefits vary, but gener-ally include preventive-care serv-ices, oral and eye exams, orthodon-tia, and a variety of eye- and oral-care products and procedures.

“It’s important to understand thatFEDVIP and FEHB are entirely sep-arate programs,” said Ms. Thomas.Federal employees eligible to enrollin the FEHB program may alsoenroll in FEDVIP. It does not matterif they enroll in FEHB. Eligibility isthe key, according to Ms. Thomas.

FEDVIP enrollment automaticallycontinues from year to year likeFEHB enrollment. FEDVIP enroll-ment also continues when enrolledemployees retire (there is no “five-year rule”).

Federal employees who wish toenroll, change plans, or cancel theirenrollment in the FEDVIP program

during this open season must do soby visiting the BENEFEDS Web siteor by calling BENEFEDS toll-freeat (877) 888-3337 or TTY (877) 889-5680. BENEFEDS will not acceptpaper enrollment forms this year.

BENEFEDS will “turn on” allenrollment functions by 5:00 a.m.Eastern Time on Nov. 12 and “turnoff” Open Season enrollment func-tions at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time onDec. 11.

Enrolling is easy and involves twosteps. First, employees must create aBENEFEDS.com account by provid-ing demographic and employmentinformation. When this one-time stepis complete, eligible employees cancompare plans and enroll.

The effective date of FEDVIP cov-erage for the 2008 plan year is Tues-day, Jan. 1, 2008. Premium deduc-tions will begin for Air Force-serv-iced employees with the pay periodbeginning Jan. 6, 2008 and will bereflected in their Jan. 25 Leave andEarnings Statement. Premiums willbe deducted on a pre-tax (premiumconversion) basis for employees.Enrollees pay the full premium fordental and vision coverage, with nogovernment contribution.

FEDVIP premium costs for 2008are already available on the OPMFEDVIP web page. Individual FED-VIP plan brochures will be avail-able the week before Open Seasonbegins.

Federal Flexible Spending AccountDuring this open season, eligible

employees may enroll in theFSAFEDS program for calendaryear 2008. There are three types ofFSA accounts: the Health Care FSA,the Limited Expense Health CareFSA, and the Dependent Care FSA.The FSAFEDS program allows fed-eral employees to set aside pre-taxmoney for a wide range of medicaland dependent care expenses. Themoney is set aside before salary istaxed. The money is exempt fromfederal income taxes, Social Secu-rity taxes, Medicare taxes, and

from most state and local taxes.Employees who are eligible to

enroll in the FEHB program mayparticipate in the FSA program,even if they are not currentlyenrolled. Employees who enroll inone of the high deductible healthplans and are eligible for a healthsavings account may not have a reg-ular Health Care FSA account, butthey may enroll in the LEX HealthCare FSA. All employees with qual-ified dependents may enroll in aDependent Care FSA, except tem-porary employees with no fixed workschedule whose tour of duty is sixmonths or less.

There are no benefit changes inFSAFEDS for 2008. The maximumannual election is $5,000 for theHealth Care FSA and for the LEXHealth Care FSA. The DependentCare FSA annual maximum is $5,000per household or $2,500 if marriedand filing separate tax returns. Theminimum annual amount for eachtype of FSA account is $250.

The FSA program also has a 2.5-month grace period. If the 2008account is not exhausted by Dec. 31,2008, eligible expenses incurred Jan.1 through March 15, 2009 will beapplied to the remaining 2008 bal-ance.

FSA enrollments are made via theFSAFEDS Web site or by calling toll-free (877) 372-3337 or TTY (800) 952-0450. Enrollment does not carry overautomatically from year to year –employees must submit a new enroll-ment for each year they wish to par-ticipate.

Detailed information on the FSAprogram is available on theFSAFEDS Web site, including anonline calculator that will help esti-mate the FSA contribution andpotential annual tax savings.

For more information on any ofthese programs or other civilianemployee benefits and entitlements,visit the BEST Web site from theAFPC Web site; click on CivilianEmployees, then on Benefits andEntitlements.

Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra to present ‘Romantic Legends’ DAYTON — The Schuster Cen-

ter will be the scene of festivitiescelebrating the 100th anniversaryof the birth of Dayton Philhar-monic Orchestra founder and Con-ductor Emeritus Paul Katz Nov. 9and Nov. 10.

In celebration, the concerts willfeature the works of Bizet, Rach-maninoff, and Beethoven, specifi-cally the symphony that was DPOFounder Paul Katz’s personalfavorite – Beethoven’s SymphonyNo.3, Eroica.

Legendary giants stride throughthis program. Bizet created hismusic for a play about a hero whois love-stricken with a girl fromArles. It quickly became one of thecomposer’s signature works. Rach-maninoff, himself a titan of Russ-ian music, built his towering pianomasterpiece upon the music of thecharismatic virtuoso, Paganini.Then, Beethoven shattered sym-phonic rules for all time with hisHeroic Third Symphony. Maestro

Gittleman is on the podium, andthe award-winning pianist SpencerMyer is at the keyboard. “One ofthe greatest joys about thePaganini Rhapsody,” Myer notes,“is not only that it’s a great pianopart, but it’s also a great orchestrapart. There’s a lot of fun interplaybetween piano and orchestra thatyou might not find in some con-certos, like Chopin or Grieg. That’swhy I look forward to playing itwith this great Philharmonic.”

This celebration includes:• A display, entitles Origins, of

the Dayton Philharmonic Orches-tra History in a text-and-phototimeline on banners on the Orches-tra Level in front of the Mead The-atre. There will also be displaycases, with artifacts and photos,and framed historical photos,many of which illustrate the lifeof Paul Katz.

• A visit Saturday evening, Nov.10 by Dr. Nevin Katz, son of theDPO founder, and Clinical Pro-

fessor of Surgery at The GeorgeWashington University MedicalCenter in Washington, DC.

• Starting at 6:30 pm each concertevening the Dayton Metro Library willoperate Words & Music, a lobby-stoplibrary kiosk in the Wintergarden.Concertgoers and other visitors will be

able to select from, and check-out, awide variety of books, CDs, and DVDsrelated to the evenings’ concerts, PaulKatz, Dayton history, and classicalmusic. All that one needs to check-out any of the items is a Dayton MetroLibrary card. Users may return theitems to any branch of the library;they may also sign up for – and receive– a library card if they do not haveone.

• At intermission each evening,each concertgoer will receive apiece of special birthday cake pre-pared for – and generouslydonated to – the DPO by Eva Chris-tian, owner of Café Boulevard inthe Oregon District and CenaBrazilian/Mediterranean SteakHouse at the Dayton Mall.

All of this is by way of theOrchestra’s and community’sremembering with fondness andgratitude the memory of Paul Katz,the man whose birthday gift to allof us was the Dayton PhilharmonicOrchestra.
