TREES FOR TROOPS: THE SPIRIT OF GIVING By Staff Sgt. Teresa J. Cleveland 633RD AIR BASE WING PUBLIC AFFAIRS
The Christmas SPIRIT Foundation’s Trees for Troops program and FedEx Corporation provided 550 free fresh-cut Christmas trees to U.S. service members and their families at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, Dec. 5, 2016. Since 2005, tree farm owners and their customers have donated more than 176,000 trees, through the organization. According to Michael Farist, 633rd Force Support Squadron warehouse manager each year, due to the high demand, active duty members and their families are encouraged to arrive early, because the trees go fast. Within the first 30 minutes of the event beginning, only 50 trees remained. “It’s a great way for the civilian community to show their appreciation to service members around the world,” said Farist. “Families who donated money for
001FYA12092016.indd A8-A9
trees usually write notes on tags that were placed on the trees with a small message of thanks and happy holiday wishes.” The installation has been participating in the program for eight years, welcoming active duty service members of every branch of service in the local area to receive a free tree. “I think it’s great that they give away trees, especially to Airmen. I’m an Airman 1st Class… so I think that’s awesome,” U.S. Air Force Airmen 1st Class Jenny, 633rd Intelligence Support Squadron cyber systems technician. “I heard about this from a friend of mine, and I don’t think I would have been able to get a Christmas tree if it wasn’t for this [program].” For many service members, this program helped their families during the holiday season. “We’ve bought real trees in the past, but we got the biggest prettiest tree we’ve ever had thanks to Trees for Troops last year,” said Sam Tebay, wife of Staff Sgt.

Joshua Tebay, 10th Transportation Battalion, 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary) watercraft engineer. “I don’t know what we would do without it, especially because money has been pretty tight this holiday season. Without this program we wouldn’t have a tree this year.” Each year, due to the high demand, active duty members and their families are encouraged to arrive early, because the trees go fast. Within the first 30 minutes of the event beginning, only 50 trees remained, said Farist. “We have had several years where 400 trees were gone in an hour. We are only able to get so many trees so the sooner families get here, the better chance they have of getting a tree before we run out each year,” said Farist. “This is an amazing program and we hope to be able to work with them for many years to come so we can help as many service members as possible during the holiday season.”

Scholarships for Military Children to open Dec. 13 By Mike Perron DEFENSE COMMISSARY AGENCY PUBLIC AFFAIRS
This holiday season is full of the usual landmark dates including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. However, there’s one other date in December which could prove to be almost as important as the traditional celebrations for some military families. Dec. 13 marks the opening of the Scholarships for Military Children Program for the 20172018 school year. Now entering its 17th year, the program was created to recognize the contributions of military families to the readiness of the fighting force and to celebrate the role of the commissary in the military family community, according to the mission statement on the militaryscholar.org website. At least one scholarship worth $2,000 will be awarded at every commissary location where qualified applications are received. Additional recipients will be selected based on a prorated basis, so more scholarships will be awarded at those stores with larger numbers of applicants. A total of 700 scholarship grants will be awarded
this year. The Fisher House Foundation, a nonprofit organization that helps service members and their families, administers the program. Scholarship Managers, a national nonprofit scholarship management services organization, manages and awards the scholarships. “This is always an exciting time of year when the Fisher House Scholarships for Military Children program kicks off, knowing 700 military children will have the opportunity to receive a $2000 scholarship to help toward their studies,” said Marye Dobson, the Defense Commissary Agency’s liaison for the scholarship program. The commissary’s industry partners, including vendors, suppliers and manufacturers, as well as the general public donate money to the program and every dollar donated goes directly toward funding the scholarships. To qualify for consideration, applicants must be a dependent, unmarried child, younger than 21, or 23, if enrolled as a full-time student at a college or university, of a service member on active duty, a Reserve

Applications must be handdelivered or shipped via the U.S. Postal Service or other delivery methods to the commissary where the applicant’s family normally shops by close of business Feb. 12, 2017. Applications cannot be emailed or faxed. “Every year, we continue to be impressed by the caliber of military children who submit applications. The students who are selected to receive scholarship grants are truly ‘the best

Applicants should ensure that they and their sponsor are enrolled in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System database and have a military ID card. The applicant must attend or plan to attend an accredited college or university, full time, in the fall of 2017 or be enrolled in studies designed to transfer to a fouryear program.

Christmas Bird Count evaluates bird population health By Alicia M. Garcia 633RD CIVIL ENGINEER SQUADRON
The holidays have a variety of meaning for personnel serving on Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia. However, for one group, the holidays have a less traditional association. For members of the Hampton Roads Bird Club and volunteers from JBLE, the holiday season is a time for the annual Christmas Bird Count. The Christmas Bird Count is an annual bird survey that is conducted around the nation by citizen-scientists, researchers and nascent bird watchers. It was established in 1900 by the Audubon Society as an alternative to traditional Christmas hunts. During the first Christmas Bird Count in 1900, surveys were held at 25 locations. Since that time, the number of locations participating has increased to 2,462 sites. In order to make data collected from all these sites comparable, all Christmas Bird Count survey areas are circular with a standard 15 mile diameter. Langley Air Force Base, Virginia represents an important portion of one survey site due to its shoreline and wetland habitat. This year, the Christmas Bird Count will be held on Dec., 17, 2016 and will represent the 31st survey conducted on the installation. Early that morning, birders will gather to start the day looking for owls near the nature trail on Langley. They will then join the main group to travel a route with 27 total stops on base. The route traveled has remained the same over the last 30 years, which makes the data gained from the Christmas Bird Count particularly valuable. Data recorded using a set methodology makes it possible to draw comparisons across years and understand how the local bird population has changed. For example, using the data collected by the Hampton Roads Bird Club, it is possible to determine that an average of 1,663
individual birds representing 54 species are identified each year on Langley during the Christmas Bird Count. The average number of species has increased slightly since the survey started, but the average number of individuals has dropped. When the data is further evaluated, this drop in the number of individual birds seems to be due to efforts to reduce populations of species such as the European Starling. The European Starling is an invasive species which poses a threat to both native bird species and aircraft. As habitat is reduced for the European Starling and other invasive species, more habitat may be available for native species. A bird count is also conducted on base each spring by the Hampton Roads Bird Club, this count, in combination with the Christmas Bird Count, helps paint a picture of the bird populations found on Langley and provides a valuable tool at both the local and national level for evaluating bird population health. More information about the Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Counts around the nation visit http://www.audubon. org/conservation/science/christmasbird-count. No experience with birding is necessary in order to participate. The Hampton Roads Bird Club welcomes all participants interested in supporting citizen science and learning about local wildlife. For more information, contact the 633rd Civil Engineer Squadron at 764-1090.
