Dahlgren, Indian Head Drive Local Economies

By Andrew RevelosStaff Writer

The ospreys’ familiarsong is once again echoingacross Naval Support Facili-ties (NSFs) Dahlgren and In-dian Head as nesting seasonbrings the majestic birds ofprey in close proximity withhumans. Both installationsmaintain property along thePotomac River and a tidalcreek, Machodoc Creek atDahlgren and MattawomanCreek at Indian Head. Withmuch of those shorelinesrelatively undeveloped, thebases serve as prime real es-tate for nesting ospreys. It isnow a common-and exhila-rating-sight to see ospreysswooping after fish at Dahl-gren and Indian Head, but itwasn’t always so.

The osprey populationsuffered a steep declinefrom the 1950s to the 1970sattributed to the use of DDTpesticide, which caused theeggs of many types of ex-posed birds to be thin, weakand prone to breakage. Ex-posure to toxins persistedeven after DDT was bannedin the United States in 1972because use of the pesticidecontinued in parts of SouthAmerica, where many of theChesapeake Bay’s ospreysoverwinter. Though prob-lematic, the more limitedexposure to DDT did notprevent a dramatic reboundin the region’s osprey popu-lation.

Osprey restoration was sosuccessful in the Chesapeake

Bay that many birds werere-located to coastal areasof New Jersey and New York,where the osprey populationwas more seriously imper-iled. Today, as many as onequarter of the ospreys foundin the continental UnitedStates nest along the Chesa-peake Bay. Seth Berry, natu-ral resources manager atNSF Indian Head, describedthe population turnaroundover the past few decades asa “true success story in con-servation.”

NSF Indian Head is hometo roughly 30 to 40 nestingosprey pairs. “This variesdepending on the numberof ospreys in the area andavailable nesting habitat andterritory,” said Berry. “How-ever, I’ve noticed a steadyincrease in nesting pairs inthe last few years and wouldguess that it will continue toincrease.”

An average of 20 nestingosprey pairs return to NSFDahlgren annually, withmany pairs returning to theexact spot year after year.Nesting ospreys in Dahlgrenseem to have a particular af-finity for man-made struc-tures such as flag poles andantennae arrays, thoughthey also nest in trees andeven on the ground.

While it is not always easyfor personnel assigned to thePotomac River Test Range atDahlgren to work around thenests, man and bird coexistpeaceably. “Ospreys and vir-

An osprey announcesits return from a suc-cessful hunting tripMarch 19 at Naval Sup-port Facility Dahlgren.The fish in the osprey’stalons, a puppy drum,is a common food itemfor ospreys along thePotomac River.

tually all other birds, minus afew, are protected by the Mi-gratory Bird Treaty Act,” saidThomas “Doc” Wray II, natu-ral resources manager at NSFDahlgren.

With special permission,inactive nests that pose asafety hazard or impede mis-sions are sometimes removed.Inactive nests are nests withno eggs, chicks or recentlyfledged young birds in the vi-

cinity, said Wray.But protecting ospreys is

more than a regulatory issue.“The significance attached toprotecting species and keep-ing them off rare species listsis the role they play in eco-system dynamics,” said Wray.“They are one of the mostwidely distributed raptor spe-cies around the world due inlarge part to their ability totolerate humans and their ac-tivity.”

Ospreys are found on ev-ery continent except Antarc-tica. Closable nostrils allowthe birds to dive completely

under the water in pursuit offish, while reversible outer“thumbs” and backward-facing scales on the talonsprevent slippery prey from es-caping. Base activities do notseem to bother ospreys in theleast, whether it is range test-ing or outdoor military cer-emonies.

It was the latter category ofactivity that produced a Dahl-gren legend involving a crude-ly oblivious osprey. Someyears ago, an admiral was ad-dressing a crowd at a militaryceremony next to MachodocCreek when an osprey regurgi-

tated something resembling afish onto his shoulder as it flewby. The admiral, with all themilitary bearing of a seasonednaval officer, brushed off theosprey’s “gift” and continuedhis speech without missing abeat, to the astonishment andamusement of the crowd.

The ospreys’ fascinat-ing, majestic and sometimesgross displays of nature upclose will, with luck and goodstewardship, be a fixture atDahlgren and Indian Head foryears to come.

Safety Tips for Pedestrians and JoggersAs a pedestrian jogger, you are at a major disadvantage

when crossing streets, intersections and standing on cor-ners. You are not always visible to drivers; especially forlarge truck and bus drivers and you don’t stand a chance if avehicle hits you. Pedestrians and joggers need to be carefulof all vehicles and never take chances when they are sharingthe road with large vehicles, like trucks and buses. Here aresome safety tips that can keep you safe when traveling fromone destination to another.

Watch Your Walk WaysWalk on sidewalks and in crosswalks whenever possible.

It is important to pay attention to walk signals and keep asafe distance when standing on street corners. Trucks andbuses make wide right turns and occasionally run up ontothe corner of the sidewalk. It is important for you to be alertand to move back. Mostly likely, the truck driver will not seeyou or may be distracted and you could be seriously injuredor killed if hit.

Know Your No-ZonesBe careful of the blind spots, or No-Zones, around cars,

trucks, and buses when walking near or around them. Al-ways assume the driver does not know that you are there.Because of a truck’s large blind spots, a driver may not see,so it is up to you to avoid a crash. Never walk behind a truckwhen it is backing up; truck drivers cannot see directly be-hind the truck and could seriously injure you.

Stopping DistancesUse caution when crossing intersections and streets. You

may think vehicles will stop for you, but they may not seeyou or even be able to stop. Remember, trucks, cars, motor-cycles and bicyclists, all have different stopping capabili-ties. In fact, trucks can take much more space to stop thanpassenger vehicles. Never take a chance with a truck, evenif the driver sees you he may not be able to stop.

Make Yourself VisisbleWear bright or reflective clothing, especially when walk-

ing at night. Dressing to be seen will make it safer for you

and drivers. Professional drivers do a lot of driving at night,and there’s a good chance a truck driver will not see you ifyou don’t make yourself visible. Carrying a flashlight is yoursafest bet for being seen at night.

Watch Out for Wide LoadsTrucks with wide loads have very limited visibility as well

as difficulty maneuvering. Wide loads are much heavierand take up lots of room on the road. You need to be awarewhen near a truck with a wide load, because the driver maynot see you. Trucks with wide loads make even wider rightturns, require more space, and take even longer to stop thanother trucks on the road. Remember to keep your distancewhen walking around these large trucks.

Commissaries look to minimize effectsof sequestration

The Defense Commissary Agency is thoughtfully devel-oping its plan to minimize the impact of sequestration oncommissary patrons, should furloughs be implemented. Ifthe Department of Defense implements furloughs, com-missaries are likely to close one day per week, in additionto their current operating schedule. While there will bedefinite impacts to commissary patrons - and certainly toemployees - if furloughs are implemented, the principlesguiding DeCA’s planning efforts are to lessen the impactsof sequestration wherever it can. Because the agency’splanning for sequestration is fluid and subject to change,commissary patrons can quickly find out about any chang-es to their local store’s operating schedule by using www.commissaries.com. The “Locations” link and subsequent“Alphabetical Listing” leads them to their “Local Store In-formation” page.

Commissaries celebrate AprilMonth of Military Child

April is the Month of the Military Child, and your com-missary is celebrating with giveaways and savings for thewhole family - pets included! “Children in military house-holds face unique challenges because of the demands ofmilitary life,” said Joyce Chandler, DeCA’s acting sales di-rector. “So, at the Defense Commissary Agency, we want toacknowledge them and do all we can to provide their fami-lies with great values on quality products they can dependupon.” DeCA’s industry partners - vendors, suppliers andbrokers - are collaborating with commissaries in April to of-fer discounts beyond everyday savings. Overseas stores mayhave substitute events for certain promotional programs.Customers are asked to check their local commissary fordetails on dates and times of the promotions in their stores.“As we honor the Month of the Military Child, don’t missout on these opportunities to save even more,” Chandlersaid. “For everyone in the family, the commissary is alwaysworth the trip.” For promotion details, visit http://www.commissaries.com/press_room.

Commissaries selected fruits,veggies champions

The Defense Commissary Agency has been chosen by theProduce for Better Health Foundation as one of their retailfruits and veggies champions for 2012. Every year, Producefor Better Health names the top retailers that supportedtheir “Fruits & Veggies - More Matters” national campaign.In 2012, Decca was among 15 retailers chosen as leaders inthe produce world. “We take our military’s health very seri-ously, and supporting this campaign to eat more fruits andvegetables is a great way to get our patrons interested,” saidJoseph H. Jeu, DeCA director and CEO. “It also speaks to thecommissary’s commitment to provide healthful options formilitary families.” The Produce for Better Health Founda-tion measured the agency against criteria such as how DeCApromoted national “Fruits & Veggies - More Matters” Monthand supported the campaign through its website, in printand through online circulars. All retailers were evaluatedagainst the same criteria.

Naval Support Activ-ity South Potomac (NSASP)celebrated Navy LodgingAppreciation Day on March29 with the dedicated em-ployees of the Naval Gate-way Inn and Suites at Na-val Support Facility (NSF)Dahlgren. Leaders and staffenjoyed lunch together anddiscussed the staff’s out-standing performance thisyear, work that helped NGISachieve a Four-Star Admi-ral Elmo R. Zumwalt rating.Each staff member receiveda Letter of Appreciation forthe team effort that led tothe distinguished rating.

“This has been a longtime coming,” said TomKubalewski, program di-rector of Family Fleet andReadiness Programs for Na-val Support Activity SouthPotomac. “It’s been a coupleof months since you guysmet a very big milestone.This program, the NGIS inDahlgren, became four-staraccredited-something wehave been trying to do formany, many years. It wasonly through the efforts ofall of you sitting here-andyour other co-workers whocould not be with us-that wecould achieve this.”

TheNGIS inDahlgrenmetseveral exacting criteria toachieve four-star rating. “Ev-erything from how well therooms are cleaned, our cus-tomer service, our facilities,to ensuring our training re-quirements are met, to look-

ing at our financials aremov-ing in a positive direction andthat we’re making money,”said Kubalewski. “It encom-passes a lot. so it’s each andevery one of you who haveprovided one piece or severalpieces that allowed us to get[the four-star rating].”

Capt. Pete Nette, Cmdr.Elvis Mikel andMaster ChiefPetty Officer Jim Honea, thecommanding officer, execu-tive officer and commandmaster chief petty officer ofNSASP, attended the lun-cheon with Kubalewski. “Wewanted to come here andthank each and every one ofyou,” said Kubalewski.

Kubalewski read amessage from First LadyMichelle Obama prais-ing the service of lodgingstaff across the Navy. “I’mthrilled to offer my sincerecongratulations to the NavyLodging Program,” wroteObama. “The troops, vet-erans and military familiesthat serve our country withpride represent what is bestabout our nation.”

Obama praised NGISstaff in the letter for the vi-tal support they providethe military community.“Throughout its history, theNavy Lodging Program hasconsistently shown it is ded-icated to our service mem-bers and their families,” shewrote. “This yearmarked an-other year of significant ac-complishments for the NavyLodging Program, fromNavyGateway Inns and Suites, toNavy Fisher Houses andNavy Getaways, it is clearwhy heroes stay with you.

Thank you again and I wishall of you the best.”

Nette seconded thatpraise. “The region reallyappreciates your hard workand effort,” he told the NGISstaff. “We in [the Navy] have

always stayed at NGISsthroughout our careers, butwe don’t realize all the hardwork it takes to maintainthem. [Patrons] go to theirroom and they expect it tobe clean, but they some-

times don’t see all the effortit takes to do that. It is hardto do every day.”

From top to bottom,NGIS staff worked tirelesslyto improve service, an ef-fort Nette commended.

“You could have stayedthe same, but you didn’t,”Nette told the NGIS staff.“You improved, improved,improved and then you gotthe four-star rating. It’s very,very appreciated.”
