Sailors, former Sailors and friends of the Navy gathered at Fredericksburg Square on Oct. 12 for an elegant celebration of the Navy Birthday Ball. Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP marked the Navy's 237th birthday with food, drink, fellowship and above all, tradition. This was the topic of the guest of honor, former Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) John Hagan. "Thank you for the invite to celebrate the Navy's birthday," he said. "It's great to be here." Hagan praised the NSASP's Navy Ball Committee for organizing the celebration. "Before I go any farther, I would be remiss if I didn't say bravo zulu to [CSC] Vince [Abdala] and the committee," he said. "They've done a great job." Hagan described his professional dealings with Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren in growing terms and saved special praise for the Sailors of the Aegis Training and Readiness Center. His only critique of the installation elicited laughs from the crowd. "There is zero nightlife in Dahlgren." Though it was obvious that Hagan enjoys any opportunity to interact with Sailors, he worried that his remarks might not do enough justice to an occasion as momentous as the Navy's birthday. "I wondered if I'd have anything relevant to say ahead of the evening's central objective, to celebrate something very important." The subject of Hagan's speech

Tradition, said Hagan, is a force for good in the Navy and a vital part of the identity of every Sailor. He came to that conclusion while serving on a board charged with determining the Navy's core values in the wake of the Tailhook scandal. While tradition is not
a value or personal attribute, said Hagan, it underscores and reinforces honor, courage and commitment. "Our. core values and traditions cannot be separated," he said. "Tradition is very important. It's why we're here tonight. and our Navy life is immersed in tradition. Tradition [in] the way we greet one
another, the way we cross the line, the way we welcomed the admiral and the captain tonight with side buoys and the boatswain's pipe. Traditions link us with the unique and memorable aspects of our seafaring and warfaring past, for historic,

Dahlgren says goodbye to Ellen Rawlings By Andrew Revelos NSASP Staff Writer After 40 years of federal service, Ellen Rawlings was honored Oct. 2. by her friends, family and coworkers with a surprise retirement party.The Naval District Washington (NDW) deputy budget officer does not yet have much of an idea about how she'll enjoy retirement, but from the kind words and gifts bestowed on Rawlings during the ceremony, it is clear that she will be dearly missed. Rawlings started her Navy career as part of a high school work program in 1975. After a few years working in a supply capacity, Rawlings spent nearly three decades helping manage Dahlgren's base housing. During the last phase of her career, Rawlings lent her talents to the NDW budget office. Several coworkers and peers struggled to keep their composure as they described Rawlings qualities: professional, personable, motherly, trustworthy, loyal and dedicated, to name a few. "We will not be able to fill her shoes," said Constance Byrd, NDW budget officer. "Ellen is a person who has been here 40 years and she knows the Naval Surface Warfare Center [Dahlgren Division], NDW, and [Naval Support Activity] South Potomac from front to back. "Whatever we wanted Ellen to do, she did it. She will be very, very
missed by our staff." Several of Rawlings' coworkers praised her approach to work. "She's family oriented, so she takes care of everybody here," said Byrd. "It's amazing; I've never met anyone like her." "I'm going to miss everything about her," added Mavis Jackson, financial management analyst. "She's always willing to help ... she's just a sweet person." Sheila Taylor, housing management assistant, worked with Rawlings at Dahlgren's Navy Housing Branch. "She was a very good worker," said Taylor. "She was very dedicated and I learned a lot from her experience. She was kind-hearted and would do anything for anybody. She knew everybody; I still get calls asking for Ellen." Rawlings earned an affectionate nickname from the employees she mentored: June Cleaver. That moniker made a surprise appearance at the party when Rawlings was presented an "autographed" photo ofBarbaraBillingsley,theactresswho played June Cleaver on "Leave it to Beaver."The room erupted in laughter,withnoonelaughingharderthan Rawlings. Next came an apron with custom "Mrs. June Cleaver" embroidery, along with the names of all of Rawlings' coworkers. For her part, Rawlings was upbeat. "It's been fun. You've got to make it fun, no matter what you're doing. You just have to do what

Ellen Rawlings, deputy budget officer for Naval District Washington's Dahlgren office, earned an affectionate nickname during her four decades of federal service: June Cleaver. At her surprise retirement party, her coworkers presented her with a very special "Mrs. June Cleaver" apron, to the delight of all present. needs to be done. Sometimes there's not somebody assigned to do a certain thing, but you just go do it.You make a joke of it and just go." Rawlings' positive outlook on work came from family, friends and a role model she met early in her ca-
reer as she commuted on the bus. "I rode three buses to get to work," she said. "My dad paid for the bus fare; otherwise, I wouldn't have made any money. I rode home with a lady by the name of Arlene Grenier, who is very near and special to me. She passed away a few years ago. She was the one who was able to get me that student aid position. She was my father's girlfriend for many, many years. She was a tiny thing and just a special, special lady." Rawlingshasnofirmplans yetfor what she will do during her retirement. "I really don't know what I want to do. I want to sit back and relaxforawhileandnothitthatalarm." What will Rawlings miss most as a newly minted retiree? "The social part of working, because you're
around everybody and you learn their families and what's going on with them... I think I'll miss that." Rawlings does not hesitate when discussing what she will not miss about working life: "having to be somewhere at a certain time." While Rawlings is considering volunteering in her newfound free time, she looks forward to spending quality time with her family and thanked them for their support. "My family has put up with me being late and everything else." Rumor has it that a trip to Disney World might be in the works for Rawlings' grandchildren, but it is a sure thing that Rawlings will not give up helping people. "I like to help people, so I don't know what I'll do," she said. "I don't sit still for too long."

Members of the King George County Board of Supervisors (l.) are briefed by Rich Tenga (center right), project manager for the Department of Defense's Office of Economic Adjustment, and Capt. Pete Nette (r.), NSASP commanding officer, about the implications of a Joint Land Use Study for Naval Support Facility Dahlgren.
Joint Land Use Study proposed By Andrew Revelos NSASP Staff Writer The King George County Board of Supervisors met with officials from Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP) and the Department of Defense (DoD) Office of Economic Adjustment (OEA) on Oct. 10 to discuss a proposed Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) that would help ensure mutually beneficial development in the local community and on board Naval Support Facility (NSF) Dahlgren. "I want to thank the board for having us," said Capt. Pete Nette, NSASP commanding officer. "I'd like to take this opportunity to inform you and the community of the Joint Land Use Study, the process, how we got here and some of the things the military and the community look at as we enter into this partnership." Partnership between Dahlgren and the local community is the essence of JLUS, which is intended to guide on and off-base development in a way that is mutually compatible. "What it does is address encroachment issues or potential encroachment issues for the installation and the community," Nette told the board. "It works both ways." In terms of land use in the vicinity of military installations, encroachment is defined as off-base development that impinges on operations, training, and test and evaluation activities on the installation. Of equal importance and consideration, encroachment is also defined as military activities impinging the safety or quality of life of citizens who live, study, work and play near a military installation. A few examples of encroachment are noise, tall structures, electromagnetic in-
terference and the potential accident zones of military aircraft. The latter concern made headlines in April when a Navy F/A-18 from Naval Air Station Oceana experienced mechanical failures and crashed into an apartment complex in Virginia Beach, Va. Fortunately, no loss of life resulted from the incident. Since NSF Dahlgren's mission is primarily focused on research and development, such accidents are highly unlikely here. Ever-increasing development along NSF Dahlgren's Potomac River Test Range (PRTR), however, is encroachment. Safety is the Navy's primary concern on the PRTR, but the cost of maintaining safety while conducting real-world testing could prompt military or Congressional planners to move operations elsewhere, depriving the community of employment opportunities and tax revenue. Communication and mutual understanding between on-base and off-base leadership is the key to charting compatible future growth, said Nette. "It is understanding each other's concerns and potential, to make the land use compatible." Rich Tenga, project manager for OEA, has guided several communities through the JLUS process. Each JLUS considers the unique local concerns, geography and military missions that must be coordinated for compatible land use, he said.Tenga noted that King George County and NSF Dahlgren already have a cooperative relationship, so any JLUS commissioned here would begin ahead of the curve. "It's an opportunity for you to promote compatible growth," Tenga told the board. Tenga pledged to support the King George County throughout the JLUS process. "I will be involved as project manager from cradle to grave," he said.
"The ultimate goal here is to protect the health, safety and general welfare of the local community in consideration of military operations." That process begins with a grant from the Federal government covering 90 percent of the cost of JLUS. The local community is responsible for 10 percent of the study's cost, though this can be comprised of the time contributed by local officials to the study instead of cash. Local leaders are empowered to commission the study through a consultant of their choosing and organize the committees that will address concerns and gather public input. Tenga offered some observations about other successful JLUS efforts from other communities, chief among them the importanceofkeepingthepublicinvolvedand informed,andofemployingagiveandtake dialogtoreachconsensus.Localleadersare afforded the flexibility to design their JLUS to arrive at that destination by whichever means they deem most prudent. "What is unique about this is that it is your study," Tenga told the board. Once JLUS has been organized, conducted and agreed upon, implementation can take several forms, such as real estate disclosures, land buffers or easements, changing building codes to require more sound-resistant construction, or even land acquisitions. Though there are many details and decisions regarding JLUS remain and a resolution has not yet been officially adopted, members of the King George County Board of Supervisors were optimistic about the prospects of a JLUS. "It seems like a win-win situation," said Cedell Brooks Jr., chairman of the board. "It seems like we're in agreement for it."

After 44 years, time to sleep in By Andrew Revelos NSASP Staff Writer Friends, family and personnel from across Naval Support Facility (NSF) DahlgrengatheredOct.12attheCommunity House to say goodbye to Joyce Tate, who retired after 44 years of federal service. Tate touched many lives during her decades at Dahlgren's Navy Housing Branch, retiring as its director. Her Navy journey began while she was still a high schoolstudentatwhatwasthentheNaval Weapons Laboratory. Her starting compensation was a modest $1.25 per hour. "I actually came to work in 1966 as a summer aide," saidTate. "This was strictly a summer aide program for that year and I'm lucky for that. I started out full time in 1968 in transportation and I was there for six years." Tate's current position stemmed from what was supposed to be a temporary detail. "I took it and about two weeks later, it was permanent. It was a temporary detail for 38 years," she laughed. A theme that Tate's coworkers

The South Potomac Pilot
Halloween Hours at Dahlgren, Indian Head FFSC resume Capt. Peter Nette, Commanding Officer, Naval Support Activity South Potomac, has advised that trick-or-treating by children in base housing at Dahlgren and Indian Head will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 31, from 6 - 8 p.m. Residents who are participating should keep their outside lights on and residents who are not participating should keep their outside lights off. Please remember that trick-or-treating on base is for children who live on base and that children should always be accompanied by a responsible adult and every effort should be made to protect the safety of you and your children during this activity.
Halloween Safety Tips
Halloween is a wonderful holiday, but because of increased foot traffic, the potential for automobile related accidents with young pedestrians increases four times on this night according to a CDC (Center for Disease Control) study. Streets are literally crawling with all sorts of witches, ghosts, goblins, vampires and all other sorts of costumed people. This makes for added responsibility for drivers to make sure that they drive safer than normal. In many areas, people drive their kids into subdivisions and let them out to walk from house to house. Usually the parent follows behind in the car. This can cause traffic jams in small areas and much confusion as kids dart between cars on the streets going from house to house. A driver is already distracted because they are trying to keep an eye on their own kids and usually aren't paying attention to much else. Children and adults tend to be preoccupied and may not pay as much attention to safety as they should. They may not see your vehicle or just assume that you see them automatically. Stay on the defensive and you shouldn't have a problem while driving on Halloween night. Don't use a cell phone or other electronic device while driving on Halloween night. You shouldn't be doing this anyway, the rate of cell phone related auto accidents has jumped dramatically since the use of cell phones and texting has risen so high. Some states have already made laws concerning this and others are working on it. Pay extra attention, particularly to
crosswalks, intersections and the side of the road. Kids tend to walk along the curbs, cutting across the street to get to other homes. Keep scanning all around you as you drive, whether as thru traffic or along with your kids as they trick-or-treat. Drive below the posted speed limit in residential areas during trick-or-treating hours. This will allow you time to break if you see a child dart in front of you. Do not pass other vehicles that have stopped in the roadway, they could be dropping off children. This is more common in rural areas but can happen anywhere. Instruct your child to never get into the car of a stranger. It might be easy for your child to mistake someone else's car your car with the excitement of Halloween. Put a lighted plastic Jack-O-Lantern on your dashboard to make your car more recognizable to your child. It's also a night that child predators are looking for victims. Let your child know that they should never get into the car of a stranger at any time. If someone stops them and asks for help or offers them candy, tell them to scream as loud as they can and run. Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars. Left them know if they carry a flash light to never shine it in the eyes of a driver. This can cause blindness on the drivers part temporarily and they may not see your child.

pragmatic and spiritual reasons, or all three. We define traditions and we safeguard them." Hagan emphasized that, right-fully defined, traditions are always good. "There are traditions that are inverted," he said. "There are bad habits, but if it is a tradition, it is by definition something good in our past that has been preserved for good reasons." While tradition respects the past, Hagan cautioned that it must never focus on "reactionary" nostalgia for the past or self-centered accomplishment; it must instead be "anchored in the institutional strength of the Navy." Hagan left the podium, but not before repeating his thank you for the invitation. "I would close with a very hearty thank you for inviting me to join you tonight and celebrate the Navy's birthday," he said. "God bless you, our Navy and our great country, the United States of America."
If you are dropping off or picking up your kids in an area, pull off the road into a safe spot and turn on your hazard lights to alert other motorists. If you go with your kids from door to door, leave the hazard lights on so other drivers can see your car parked there. Children should always go out trick or treating accompanied by a responsible adult. If you have a group of kids going, the parents should choose two or three of them to go along and keep an eye on things. Some towns set a curfew for trick or treating which makes it easier for townsfolk to know who's coming to their door. Make sure and stick to the curfew times and stick to subdivisions and areas with a lot of homes so your kids can get in as much trick or treating as possible in a few hours time. Plan a safe route so parents know where their older kids will be at all times. Set a time for their return home. Make sure that your child is old enough and responsible enough to go out by themselves. Make sure that they have a cell phone. Let your children know not to cut through back alleys and fields if they are out alone. Make sure they know to stay in populated areas and not to go off the beaten track. Let them know to stay in well lighted areas with lots of people around. Explain to them why it can be dangerous for kids not to do this. If they are going out alone, they are old enough to know what can happen to them in a bad situation and how to stop it from happening. Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they bring them home to be examined by you. This way you can check for any problem candy and get the pick of the best stuff! Instruct your child to never go into the home of a stranger or get into their car. Explain why this is not a god idea and what to do if someone approaches them and tries to talk to them. Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible to cars. Let them know that they should stay together as a group if going out to Trick or Treat without an adult.

Diversity
Continued from page 2
comed attendees and praised the Navy's effort to provide opportunity to all employees. "Today's activities provide an opportunity for us to learn about and better appreciate our diverse backgrounds and have fun doing it," he said. "While this is a day of celebration, I cannot stress enough how important diversity is in all the work that we do. I think many of you know that one of the Navy's top goals is to create a workplace where it is evident that we value and respect all of our people and provide opportunities for everyone to reach their full personal and professional potential. I appreciate, the command appreciates, each of you doing your part to help us reach our goal." Kolakowski attributed America's national strength to diversity. "We live in a great country," he said. "It has been forged from a blend of many races, cultures, traditions, religious backgrounds and ethnic backgrounds. "To expand on this," he illustrated, "think of steel, which is much stronger than one single ore such as iron. It is more flexible, more rust-resistant and much more useful as a building material. Like the forging of steel, bringing a diverse people together makes for a stronger nation." As always, Diversity Day is about more than racial, ethnic or religious tolerance. For the problem-solvers who comprise Dahlgren's research and development commands, diversity is loosely-defined and helps organizations accomplish missions. "Diversity Day was put on not only to showcase the different ethnic backgrounds that we have, but also to showcase the different work the departments do as well," said Tara Roane, NSWCDD's deputy Equal Opportunity Officer. "Sometimes when people think about diversity, [they] think about race, gender and the traditional aspects of diversity," said Roane. "One of the things we like to do here in Dahlgren is get people to broaden that definition, in terms of what di-
The South Potomac Pilot versity is and how it can help accomplish the mission." Making employees comfortable in the workplace is an important facet of diversity, but hardly the only one. "We're looking for an inclusive environment where everybody feels like they're appreciated," said Roane. "I think that is what we want to accomplish with Diversity Day. We want to not only embrace diversity, but have a broader perspective of it." Marcella Bushrod, disability program manager and special emphasis program manager (SEPM) for NSWCDD, agreed that diversity should be broadly-defined. "Diversity is such a broad word," Bushrod said. "The Navy is striving very, very hard to be the model employer. Part of that is not only hiring, but also retention. And we're finding out through surveys and just talking with employees that one of their concerns is that people just don't know enough about other people." The key to Diversity Day is using fun to spread that kind of awareness."Wehavesixdepartmentsheretoday,"saidBushrod. "It's a way for us to get together and learn about each other, professionally and personally, in a fun sort of way. Our departments and employees get to intermingle with one another.We're striving to be a diverse employer and we're striving to have diverse employees... that's the only way we're going to grow strong." Bushrod illustrated how diversity is more than a matter of mere decency; it is vitally important to accomplish missions and solve problems. "Think about the generations," she said. "You see the youth, who are playing video games.Ten years down the road you find out that they're your airplane pilots.They're solving these problems and it's because people endure different things throughout their life and within their culture, whatever they're culture may be, they learn to do things in their own way. "So when you bring them together," Bushrod added, "it just gives you a broader perspective to solve problems. We always say two heads are better than one. No... three, four, five heads are better than one.We have seen it in action.We need not only different cultures, but different age groups.We need everyone to complete our mission."

Navy families. "It's just me," said Tate. "I love people. I love to help people. I've always done that. I love families; I love babies." Tate guided several families through trying times. In one instance, Tate remembers convincing a young Navy couple to take their sick baby to the health clinic, where it was evacuated to another hospital and eventually recovered. "That made me really feel good," she said. Unsurprisingly,Tate said she will miss people most. "People are great. If you're not around people, you're not living. That's what I'm going to miss the most." Tate will not miss driving and getting up early. "None of that stuff," she laughed. She will, however, stay active, but only after some well-deserved time to relax. "I'm going to do absolutely nothing for a while. When I get bored, I may do some volunteer work. I might do some volunteer work in the hospital." The people Tate leaves behind were happy to see her take the next step in her life, but equally sad to see her go. "There no better person to work with, no more dedicated, loyal and enthusiastic individual who gets up every morning and comes into the office, than JoyceTate," saidTom Kubalewski, program director for Fleet and Family Readiness and Tate's boss. "It's an honor and a privilege to call her a colleague and friend and to thank her for her years of service." Kubalewski used many kind words to describe the employee he has come to depend on during his time in Dahlgren. "She has been the most incredible, detailed employee I've had. She is normally my very first phone call every morning when I get into the office. She's very responsive. After 44 years, she's like a historical institution here in Dahlgren, especially when it comes to our housing program." When the housing director at nearby NSF Indian Head left a few years ago,Tate filled the gap. "It was no problem for her," said Kubalewski. "Today we're losing a valuable member and we'll all have to work together to pick up where Joyce left off. She's a wonderful person and a great asset." Capt. Pete Nette, commanding officer of Naval Support Activity South Potomac (NSASP), praised Tate's long service. "Forty-four years is a long time to work for an institution," Nette toldTate. "You've touched a lot of lives.That's apparent because of the people who showed up today." Nette was not alone when he praised Tate's transitioning Navy housing into a public-private venture partnership with Lincoln Housing. "I was in a meeting last week and encouraged the other [commanding officers in the region] to have a dialog, an open communication with housing offices to make them work like it does here. That all speaks to your rapport, your mindset, professionalism and loyalty with our partners, and I want to thank you for that." For her part, Tate used her speech time to offer a simple thank you to those she worked with throughout the years. "It's been a good 44 years and I appreciate everybody's support," she said. "Thanks everybody for being here."
