Major news media outlets reported earlier this month that this year has been the hottest year on record for the United States. But you don’t have to tell that to those of us who have recently experienced rolling power outages at the Arsenal due to weather and to our infrastructure. From office worker to machinist, we have all been touched by the extraordinary hot summer that won’t seem to give us relief.

Thankfully, we have two great electricians by the names of Benjamin Dedjoe and Jim Uram who have thrown themselves into a nearly 24-hour, 7-day-a-week operation keeping power supplied to our critical operations. In fact the entire Public Works staff has rallied in the wee hours of the night, with the support of our Emergency Services, to repair old lines and to keep the factory running.

They have also moved up a critical and significant upgrade to our electrical system to mitigate any future disruptions to our electrical grid. Quite simply, well done!

But managing our energy conservation doesn’t reside with just Benjamin and Jim, we all have a part in this effort.

Turning off all non-essential lighting and power will not only put less strain on our electrical grid, it may also save us money. If we can lower our electrical consumption on high demand days, National Grid may give us a credit. So please, turn off lights, fans, and other power draining devices when you are the last person to leave a room. And, if you don’t need the lights, don’t turn them on.

And while I’m talking about taking action to improve our workplace in regards to electrical consumption, we cannot miss taking other opportunities to improve our workplace during this year’s Annual Shutdown.

A bit of a misnomer, we truly don’t shut down because most of the workforce will remain at work 30 July to 3 August. Nevertheless, this period of time gives us a great opportunity to conduct a thorough maintenance scrub of all of our work areas, to include the machine shops, while we have reduced manufacturing operations.

So, start planning now on what you can and will do during this year’s annual shutdown to improve our operational space. The maintenance that we conduct may not only make our workplaces safer, but also may make our machines more reliable. Both add to our bottom line.

Please enjoy the rest of the summer, export those safe habits and take them home. When you get back, Look for IT, Find IT, and help us Fix IT!

students know that they will have a job when they graduate, it is hard not to become excited. John Zayhowski, the Arsenal’s apprentice program supervisor and who was the action officer for the Arsenal’s participation in this conference, said the return on the Arsenal’s investment to support the four-day conference exceeded expectations. “This was truly a great event for us because we rarely have an opportunity to showcase the Arsenal’s manufacturing capabilities, as well as its nearly 200-

year manufacturing history, to such a large and diverse group of people who have a manufacturing background,” Zayhowski said. And tying into the education theme of the conference, the Arsenal’s involvement with the Hudson Valley Community College transcends just the four days of the conference, Zayhowski said. The Arsenal has a

nearly 10-year relationship with the community college to develop machinists for the future via an apprentice training program. “We have a tremendous relationship with Hudson Valley,” Zayhowski said. “Due to the extensive four years of classroom study and 8,000 hours of hands-on training, the Arsenal and Hudson Valley are able to turn out some of the best new machinists in the country.” During the two days of tours, Zayhowski put several of his apprentices in front of conference attendees to lead the tours or to explain a machining activity that they were performing. Due to the apprentices’ vast knowledge of every Arsenal machining operation and their expertise on critical machining where tolerances they were working with were measured in the thousandths of an inch, the apprentices truly delivered a powerful message that Arsenal machinists can machine anything from large caliber guns to something as small a quarter.

Nearly 100 U.S. manufacturing leaders and educators converged on the Watervliet Arsenal for two days this month to learn more about how a government-owned and –operated manufacturing center operates. What set these tours off as being different from previous tours is that these visitors have a strong background in manufacturing. The tours were set up as part of the Haas Technical Education Center Conference that was conducted at the Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, N.Y., and the attendees represented: manufacturing-related companies such as the Sandvik Coromant Company from New Jersey to General Electric’s Global Research in Niskayuna, N.Y.; higher education institutions such as Arizona State University Polytechnic and Purdue University; and national and international manufacturing associations such as the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and the National Tooling and Machining Association. Drew Matonak, the president of Hudson Valley Community College and host for the conference, opened the “Growing Your Manufacturing Education Triangle” conference by saying that it has been hard to get students excited about manufacturing. Despite his assessment, Matonak then painted a picture of recent positive growth. “Seven years ago, we had five students in the manufacturing program,” Matonak said. “This coming school year we will have about 40 students, which maxed out our day and evening courses.” Matonak said that companies, such as the Watervliet Arsenal and General Electric, have help create the recent rise in student interest in manufacturing-related studies by coming through with the sponsorship for nearly 50 percent of this year’s incoming freshmen class.

About 45 children, ranging 5-14 years-old, partici-pate in the Arsenal’s Morale, Welfare, and Recreation or MWR summer camp program that started in late June and ends in late August. Some of the children have been coming here for five years and several of the camp’s counselors have also made the Arsenal part of their summer for many years. “It is such a pleasure to work with a great team and

the kids are unbelievably great kids,” said Jennifer Lewicki who is in her third year working at the summer camp. Lewicki, who teaches 10th grade at Colonie High School, added that there is a special in-nocence with such a young group that is very refreshing to her. Fellow camp counselor, Laurol Bartlett, echoed Lewicki’s com-ments. “I have been working the Arse-nal’s summer camp for five years and it truly has been great to see the kids grow,” Bartlett said. “In many ways, the kids are like fam-ily to me.” Bartlett, who will be teaching at Rensselaer Park Elementary School this fall, said the kids come in every day excited about what we are going to do that day, as well as have a great sense of humor. The thought of spending a sum-mer with a teacher is not what most kids would yearn for, but

here it is different. “I love coming here and I don’t know what I would be doing if I couldn’t attend the summer camp,” said Marissa Martinez, who is in her fifth year of attending summer camps at the Arsenal. “The counselors partici-

Arsenal Commander doesn’t kid around with questioning

By John B. Snyder

To see the Watervliet Arsenal commander dance and weave through an onslaught of questions dur-ing his recent visit to one of his operational areas this month brought chuckles to many who observed this spectacle and giggles to those who asked the ques-tions. No one ever said that com-mand was easy and when someone asked Col. Mark F. Migaleddi just what he does every day, a thinner-skinned commander may have cringed and buckled from the pressure — but not Migaleddi. He simply smiled and responded back to the seven-year-old child. “My job is to ensure that we manufacture products that will im-prove the chances of our soldiers coming home safely and to pro-vide protection to everyone on the arsenal to include you,” Migaleddi said to the inquisitive child. During a 20-minute visit to the Arsenal’s Summer Camp program, Migaleddi provided an overview of what the Arsenal does to sup-port the warfighter, as well as an-swered questions that ranged from Migaleddi’s personal life to what color does the other team wear. The other team in this question referred to the uniform that is worn by those who are fighting against U.S. troops in Afghanistan. One of Migaleddi’s more inter-esting responses came from a question regarding if he always wanted to be a Soldier. “When I was a kid, I wanted to be a dolphin trainer because I loved to swim,” Migaleddi said to an audi-ence that seemed delighted by his response. “In the end, however, I decided to follow in my father’s foot-steps and make a career in the Army.” Story continues on page 5, see Camp

pate in all activities with us and they make sure that no kids are left out.” As Martinez shifted the conversation to the future, her broad smile disappeared. “Because of my age, this is the last year that I may attend the Arsenal’s summer camp,” Martinez said. “I hope that someone can make an exception because I can’t imagine a summer without coming here.” This is the fifth year the Arsenal has offered a summer camp program to its workforce and in just a few years, the camp has grown from about 20 kids to nearly 50, said Kyle Buono, the Arsenal’s summer camp su-pervisor. “This is a great inex-pensive program that offers weekly field trips to such activities as tubing and rafting, visiting the Bronx Zoo in New York City, and attending a minor league baseball game,” Buono said. Buono said the Arsenal’s summer camp program is probably the best value in the community for a safe and fun place for kids in the summer. At a weekly rate that may be as low as $40 to no more than $110, parents can drop off their kids at 6:30 a.m. and pick them up at 4:45 p.m. All activities, to include field trips, are included in the cost. When the kids aren’t on a field trip, they are swimming, doing crafts, or playing games. But what may be the best value to the parents is that the kids are at most a 10-minute walk from their workplace. On any given lunch period, parents are often seen having lunch with their kids. As Migaleddi started to walk away from his ses-sion with the kids, he looked back once more at the swimming pool that was just a few feet away. It seemed as if he imagining what could have been if only he had become a dolphin trainer.

Benét Laboratories Dedicated Fifty Years Ago

Fifty years ago, in the spring of 1962, the Watervliet Arsenal celebrated its rich heritage of innovative weapons research and development when it renamed Building 40 in honor of the Benét military family. The Benét Laboratories was named in honor of Brig. Gen. Stephen Vincent Benét (1827-1895) and his son, Col. James Walker Benét (1857-1928). Together, in their own unique ways, father and son worked intensely to keep Watervliet Arsenal relevant and productive during the lean years following major wars. In 1878, Gen. Benét, while working in Washington, D. C. as Chief of Ordnance, lobbied Congress vigorously and successfully to not privatize the Arsenal. While commander of the Arsenal from 1919 to 1921, Col. Benét’s innovative ways kept the Arsenal productive and relevant in lean years following the end of World War I.

According to the Troy Times Record, at the May 9, 1962 Benét dedication ceremonies, Maj. Gen. H. F. Bigelow said:

“Watervliet Arsenal owes its existence and purpose to the foresight and determination of General Benét. His sturdy resistance to the planned disposal of the Arsenal in the lean years following the Civil War prevented the loss of Watervliet to the nation’s service. His opposition was the major factor in the defeat of the bill pending in Congress in 1878 which would have sold the installation to private interests.”

“At the turn of the century, while supervisor of the newly-activated Field Gun Shop, Col. Benét directed one of the Arsenal’s proudest achievements - the development of the nation’s first 16-inch gun…Following the end of World War I in 1918, Col. Benét had the responsibility for converting the Arsenal from the all-out production basis of World War I to the diminished demands of peace. His maintenance of the effective operations during this difficult transition was a tribute to his wisdom, tact, and consideration of others.”

In conclusion, Bigelow said, “Now as we unite the distinguished name of Benét with this facility, we also link symbolically the past and the future of this Arsenal. To future scientists and engineers, this building will be greater than the sum of its bricks and stone. In it, they will find an inheritance of challenge and inspiration, the spiritual bequests of the Benéts, to all who will bear that responsibility for the Nation’s freedom to which they dedicated their lives.”

On May 9, 1962, Watervliet Arsenal honored Brig. Gen. Stephen Vincent Benét and his son, Col. James Walker Benét, by naming Building 40, the Arsenal’s Research and Development Center, the Benét Laboratories. The ceremony was at-tended by dignitaries (L to R) Rosemary Carr Benét, the colonel’s daughter-in-law; Maj. Gen. H. F. Bigelow, deputy chief of the Ordnance Department; Laura Benét, the general’s granddaughter, and Col. Keith T. O’Keefe, Watervliet Arsenal Commander.

Watervliet: The best job any student could getBy John B. Snyder

Just like New York summers, the Arsenal’s summer hires are great when we have them but we don’t have them long enough, said the Arsenal’s public works roads and grounds work leader. “These are great kids and I wish I could keep them throughout the year,” said Jesus Guerra. Each year, the Arsenal hires high school and college stu-dents to assist its public works personnel in the maintenance of the 143-acre installation. Just about every summer outdoor project that one may have around their house is also required at the Arsenal, and given the Arsenal has only two full-time grounds keepers these students provide an invaluable service when it is most needed. “We had an early summer this year and in a very short time we became overwhelmed by landscaping requirements,” Guerra said. “In early April, we were being asked why we weren’t trimming the hedges or cutting the lawns, which usually don’t occur until late May.” The Arsenal Public Works hired five students this year to work for Guerra and they will work from late June to late August, working 40 hours a week, Mon-day through Friday, doing landscaping and painting. Guerra’s youngest summer hire is Mi-chael Garramone, an incoming 11th grade student at Greenville High School. “This is my first job ever and I love this place,” Garramone said. “Everyone is so nice and I’m learning a lot of skills that I can use the rest of my life.” Garramone said he plans to use his summer earnings to pay off a few car mechanic bills and to start saving for college. One of the more senior student hires is Mike Palmieri, who will enter his senior year at Oneonta College this fall, said that he is very appreciative just to be working. “I have tons of friends who can’t get a job and so, I feel very lucky to work at the Arsenal,” Palmieri said This is Palmieri’s third year working at the Arsenal and he said he plans to use his summer earnings to help pay for his apartment this coming school year. His studies are in English and music. He also plays at least five different instruments, which must work out well for the band he plays in called the “Samurai Pizza Cats.”

The other summer hire students have similar stories. John Moody, who will be attending Penn State University this fall, said his work at the Arsenal is a great first job be-cause of the independence he has to do his work. He will ma-jor in English and will use his income to help pay his college expenses. Sean Plaske, who has worked at the Arsenal the previous two summers and is a computer science student at Hudson Valley Community College, said he loves this job because he is treated like an adult. He added that when he graduates next year, he would like to get a job in the Arsenal’s Information Management office. Josh Schaninger, who also has worked at the Arsenal the previous two summers, will enter his sophomore year at Oneonta College this fall majoring in Professional Account-ing. He said this is the best job any student could get because he learns something new every day, there is great leadership, and he likes hearing about the history of the Arsenal. Now that the summer is half over, Guerra is working hard to ensure that his summer help will get all the painting and trimming done before the students head back to school. “Quite simply, we couldn’t maintain the Arsenal’s 143 acres without the support of our summer hires,” Guerra said. “They are that important.”

Photo by John B. SnyderArsenal VPP Coordinator Ken Church, standing, provides initial direction and purpose to the new VPP team. Church will be a full-time VPP coordinator for the Arsenal’s effort to achieve Star status.

The Watervliet Arsenal’s news-letter, Salvo, was given new life in August 2008 with its first issue after a nearly seven-year hiatus, and the former Arsenal commander looked to this reborn newsletter as a way for him to tout a new safety initiative called the Voluntary Protection Pro-gram or VPP. Col. Scott N. Fletcher had taken command of the Arsenal in July 2008. Fletcher’s vision then for VPP was to inspire the workforce to take an active part to im-prove personal and workplace safety. This new form of “safety activism” at the Arsenal would not only make the Arse-nal safer, but would also reduce the com-mand’s preventable injury and accident costs that had reached nearly $168,000 in the first 10 months of 2008. Fletcher’s mark on the wall for VPP Star certification by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration or OSHA was April 2010 — just 18 months away.Nearly four years after the Fletcher’s VPP Star certification projection, one will find the Arsenal is in a much better safety posture than in 2008, but still without VPP Star certifica-tion. So, what happened? The spotlight for the lack of VPP Star certification could be shown at any number of reasons, but the buck stopped this month with the current

Arsenal commander. “For too long, I have violated the spirit of VPP by trying to drive the train by myself,” said Col. Mark F. Migaleddi. “I have now seen the light and realize that the success of VPP does not just lie with me, but with the Arsenal’s employees.” “I have visited GE, Boeing, and other arsenals and depots to see what a VPP Star organization looks like and their success has truly been about what the individual worker can do,” Migaleddi said. To reignite the Arsenal’s VPP

Star certification efforts, Migaleddi formed a 16-member team, headed by Ken Church, a long-time Arsenal employee who is also a brigade com-mand sergeant major with the New York State National Guard. What will be different from the Arsenal’s previous VPP efforts is that the Arsenal’s VPP Certifica-tion program will have a full-time manager, Church, and a team that is solely focused on VPP. “Our previous VPP efforts were driven by the Arsenal’s safety office whose main focus was, and right-

fully so, on the day-to-day manage-ment for the safety of more than 1,400 people who drive in and out the gate every day,” Church said. “Although the safety office has made significant strides toward improving workplace safety the last four years, it simply did not have the manpower to dedicate a full-time push for VPP certification.” With Migaleddi’s actions, Church will also have a team of 16 Arsenal employees whose additional duty for the next year will be on getting the Arsenal VPP Star certified.

According to Church, the toughest challenge he will have is that the Arse-nal’s culture must change in order to achieve suc-cess with VPP. “As the commander stated, VPP Star certifica-tion is a journey and not a destination,” Church said. “The program’s success lies with the buy-in of our employees and their leaders who must not only become full-fledge

safety activists today, but also for tomorrow.” According to the Occupational Safety & Health Administration or OSHA’s website, VPP promotes ef-fective worksite-based safety and health. OSHA’s VPP Star certifica-tion recognizes employers and em-ployees who demonstrate exemplary achievement in the prevention and control of occupational safety and health hazards the development, implementation and continuous im-provement of their safety and health management system.

Arsenal History Update

Arsenal “Mortar”: 1919“War’s end kills Arsenal newspaper”

From the War Department: In interest of economy and in view of the changed conditions due to the signing of the armi-stice, it is suggested, if not already done, the publication of the Watervliet Arsenal “Mortar”...be discontinued.

So, ended the precursor to the “Salvo.”

Most people think Continuous Improvement us-ing Lean Manufacturing means having a few Lean events with teams meeting together for one solid week a month (not counting prep meetings). These large, complex events descend from our Value Stream Analyses and target opportunities to improve our “true north” metrics: quality, cost, delivery, safety and human development. Nevertheless, it doesn’t take a cross-functional team to make big improvements at the Arsenal because much of the gain we achieve from Lean will come from Lean Daily Improvement (LDI) actions. LDI means each of you making smaller improve-ments every day using the Lean training you have had (and will get in the future). These improvements are made to the processes that concern you the most and that you and your supervisor have the authority to change. The ideas come from you…the person deal-ing with the nagging little problems every day. Maybe you could move the copier – to which you make twenty trips every day - from across the room to near your work area (it might help the rest of the

office, too). Maybe the expediter could drop off your material right by the crane instead of forcing you to move it first with a pallet jack. I’m sure each of you could come up with a dozen ideas during the course of a single day. It’s these smaller improvements done every day by a lot of employees that really starts adding up over time. And it doesn’t take a Lean expert to see what’s wrong and to fix it. You just need an understanding of some basic Lean tools: 6S, standard work, visual workplace design, 5 whys, eliminating the 8 wastes and more. They are taught in the introductory Lean classes, are in all the Lean books and on the internet. In the Continuous Improvement Office, we can help you find answers – stop in. Lean advances when lots of people start improv-ing little things every day by practicing the Lean principles. People learn by doing, communication is improved, you become open-minded about change. Watervliet leaders want to foster an environment where employees are encouraged and empowered to identify and eliminate waste wherever they work. So talk to your Supervisor about solving a nag-ging problem you have. Is it something you control? If your Supervisor says OK, stop in the Continuous

Women’s Equality Day 2012

Empowering women: •Builds strong economies •Establishes more stable and just societies •Achieves internationally-agreed goals for develop-ment, sustainability, and human rights •Improves quality of life for women, men, families, and communities •Propels business operations and goals

Although the Watervliet Arsenal had integrated its work-force with women as early as 1813, it would be more than 100 years before the rest of the nation would catch up. The U.S. abolitionist movement began their fight for social justice by taking personal action to end slavery. They learned from other Anti-Slavery Societies just how to orga-nize, publicize and articulate a political protest but surpris-ingly, many of the men who opposed slavery were also opposed to women playing active roles or taking speaking parts in the abolitionist movement. The attempt to silence women at Anti-Slavery Conventions in the United States and England led directly to Elizabeth Cady Stanton's and Lucretia Mott's decision to hold the first Woman's Rights Convention at Seneca Falls, N.Y., in June 1848. One of the articles of belief proclaimed at this con-vention and subsequent events was that women were in some sense slaves, too. Thirty years after this convention, the 19th Amendment was introduced into Congress. Forty-one years after its introduction, the Amendment, which would grant women the right to vote, was passed by both houses in 1919. It was then sent to the states for ratification in 1920. In 1971, U.S. Congress designated August 26 as “Women’s Equality Day.” Our country has come a long way since the Amendment’s passage nearly 100 years ago. In 2010, women comprised 14 percent of Active Duty Forces, including the U.S. Coast Guard. Eighteen per-cent of Department of Defense Reserve forces and 35 percent of the Department of Defense civilian workforce were women. More than two million women are military Veterans. In 2008, 11 percent of Veterans from the Afghanistan and Iraq military operations were women. Women are also 47 percent of the total U.S. labor force and their numbers are projected to in-crease by 2018. Seventy-four percent of employed women work full-time and 26 percent work part-time. How does the U.S. stack up against other countries in regards to women’s equality? The World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report for 2011 measured the inequality between men and women with political, educational and economic opportunities. We were number 19, which is an im-provement over the 2010 ranking of 31. The bottom line is that no country has yet to achieve true gender equality, which is a goal that we must continue to strive for.
