F&B Award for Excellence Winner,
Arboretum Lifetime Winner, & More!
As one of ten nominators for Charles O’Neill
for the University’s Award for Excellence,
Zone Manager Carlos Gutierrez says,
“Charlie is an outstanding housekeeper. He
keeps the dorms up and running. Without him,
these dorms would be a mess, but that's why
we have him here to establish a good
environment. The nominations focused on the categories of
customer service, human relations, and the spirit of North
Carolina. Also, the RC Raulston Arboretum has recognized
Charles with their 2014 Lifetime Award.
SUMMER 2014
Message from Our Assistant Vice Chancellor
Change Before You Have To . . .
General Electric’s renowned former CEO has
become one of the most quoted business leaders in
our country today. Under his leadership, GE, a
mega international company that makes
everything from kitchen toasters to jet engines, was transformed
from a large bulky and entrenched company to one where
innovation, resourcefulness, employee ideas, and response to
customer needs are the driving forces.
Today, higher education, including the UNC system and
NC State University are under tremendous pressure to change
from a slow and resistant industry to one that is nimble and
responsive to changes in the needs of our students, both current
and future. There are certainly some things we can learn from Jack
Welch to help NC State and Facilities Operations become more
efficient and effective.
Mr. Welch said to “Control your own destiny or
someone else will.” It is highly probable that if we don’t take the
initiative and begin actions to control costs, reduce waste, utilize
our people’s talents better, and be better stewards of the NC
taxpayer’s dollar, others will tell us what to do . . . and we will
lose control of our own destiny. It’s our decision. We have the
people, the talent, and the knowledge to make it happen.
Let’s Do It!
Welch also said that “An organization’s ability to learn
and translate this learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate
competitive advantage.” Don’t fool yourself into thinking that
we are not in a competitive environment. Every day, we in
Facilities Operations are competing against other service providers
that say they can do the job cheaper and better than we
can. I don’t believe it……but every day we must prove
that we are more than competitive and that we provide
the best value to the University. Just like GE, we must
learn rapidly and put this new learning to work to keep
our advantage. Innovations such as mobile work
dispatching, energy management, building automation
and commissioning, sustainable operations, and web
site development are all ways that we are keeping our
advantage.
As we close this fiscal year and look forward to
a new year starting this August, let’s keep Jack Welch’s
quotes in mind as we all work to be competitive and
WolfPack strong! Have a great summer.

An Appreciation Letter from A Student Resident
I have lived in Syme Hall for almost three years now
and Charlie O'Neill has been there for me all this time. When I
came to college, my idea of a housekeeper was someone who
cleans the messes of others. Charlie quickly changed my simple
definition of housekeeping because he gave the role more value.
This is because Charlie makes an effort to know the residents
on a personal level. Often if I am having a bad day, he will ask
about my life and cheer me up every time. He also memorizes
which cars belong to different residents, and if you forget to
move your car from Baver in the morning, he will find you, in
time for you to move your car. I've seen him do this on
countless occasions. He cleans, he checks in on you, and he
cares. He contributes to creating a community that people feel
comfortable calling home. He shows us how to appreciate our
halls and our community. He knows our names, our schedules,
and what makes us smile. Charlie O'Neill is one of the major
reasons I return to Syme Hall each year.

JANUARY—MARCH 2014
Tom Moore, Repair & Renovation Services. As Project
Manager, Tom is a very talented, outgoing,
employee that handles volumes of renovation
projects on campus. He excels in his daily
tasks and is often requested by name from
campus clients to oversee their projects. Tom
devotes the time to tasks that are sometimes
ordinary and makes them unique.
During this past winter on some of the coldest
days on record, Tom was tasked to get the gate on Stinson
Drive operational. He was there on site with the staff figuring
out the repair and seeing that all the details were taken care
of; he even identified additional areas of concern to be
repaired and had this included in the project. Tom always
appreciates the hard work of Facilities employees and takes
the time to recognize them through “ATTA Job” reports.
Always up for A Challenge!
Tom routinely asks to be assigned some of the more
challenging work to increase his skills and knowledge. In
several buildings, he has taken on tasks of installing curtain
walls and renovating suites, capturing all the details
associated with the projects to meet building codes which
include knowledge of HVAC, plumbing, electrical, life
safety, interior upfit, and structural elements. He is a team
player who involves and coordinates with not only Facilities
staff, but the occupants and those who may be affected with
changes to the facilities.
Co-worker Jeff Luz commented,
“Tom always goes out of his way to make sure the
customers are satisfied and get what they need.
Watching Tom’s drive helps me to work harder and
strive to meet our unit and customer’s goals.”
“The Facilitators”
Tom’s talents have also been recognized within Facilities
with his leadership in the Facilitators Band. As one of the
founding members, Tom helped bring together talents of
others and made a successful band that performed at
Facilities Annual Recognition Luncheon, Chancellor’s Open
House Reception and Kevin McNaughton’s retirement party.
Tom’s jovial, optimistic approach is infectious and helps
motivate the team at Repair & Renovation Services.
Adam Harris, Building Maintenance & Operations,
is an extremely knowledgeable and
dedicated employee that strives to make
NC State better. His overall work ethic is
key to helping maintain high visibility
facilities on campus to meet user needs.
During the recent transitioning of the light
bulbs to LED lamps in the chandeliers in
the Park Alumni Center’s ballroom, Adam’s persistence
and technical expertise helped correct an ongoing
problem that both reduced maintenance costs and
reduced energy consumption. The light bulbs that were
installed in the chandeliers were standard candelabra
incandescent bulbs. These lamps only had a life of four
to six months before they started to fail. This created
issues as this location is where most brides have their
wedding photographs taken. When multiple lamps
started to fail, the lighting levels would drop — creating
dim lighting in the ballroom and poor picture quality.
Also, when it came to scheduling bulb replacement, as
the Alumni Center is used for dining during lunch and
dinner, there was a very small window for replacement.
Adam is a tremendous resource for Zone 4 and
readily helps others to get the job done.
Donald Doran, Housekeeping Services, takes on his
work load with integrity, as he
demonstrates this in his attentiveness to
detail. He consistently makes safety a
priority; makes a point to understand and
meet the needs of his area. He
communicates to the zone manager any
safety concerns with the building, such as
heaters left on in offices or any electrical
concerns. Donald is also eager to assist his team, helping
to train new zone members, helping beyond his nightly
work schedule when the team is short-staffed, and
assisting in equipment loading/unloading. He goes
beyond his duties; shoveling well past the required
distance to make sure that students and staff are safe.
Donald is known as this team’s “Resident
MacGyver” — especially his innovation in designing a
cap for their lamp boxes with all safety procedures.
During this winter’s adverse weather events, he
came from Garner — on his bicycle!!
His dedication and commitment to our work, his
assigned zone, and the University makes him a great
asset.

Scott Buffaloe, Building Maintenance & Operations—
Supervisor, his nominator was from a fellow co-
worker recognizing him for his outstanding state
government service. He has developed a team of
hard-working professional building maintenance
mechanics that effectively manage solutions and
foster superbly sensitive relations with building
tenants. His team has built highly-effective
relationships of trust with the many University and
corporate tenants co-mingled in buildings under his direct
responsibility for daily operations and maintenance.
Scott leads by example as so aptly demonstrated during
this winter season. Working almost every day during the winter
break, he provided his employees with what family time they
could afford, while not only protecting the buildings from
weather related damage, but providing facility support to
construction contractors renovating one of his buildings. His
employees react to his dedication and caring approach, by
emulating his behavior when working with each other and their
myriad of customers.
He has often fixed design issues created by paid
consultants, who claim they have the solution on paper, but when
tested, fail. He takes the initiative to reach out to the campus
community, seek out answers based on proven methods, and
implement those solutions.
Scott is a master at “trouble shooting” problems. He
quickly gets to the root cause of the difficulty and targets
corrective action to that critical point. The results are shorter
outages and cheaper repairs. In fact, his skills are so acute he is
often asked to assist others when they have come to dead-ends.
We do have a a number of grill masters
among us, but, let’s keep in mind the food
preparers and hostesses , too.
Keeping food at proper temperatures -
indoors and outdoors - is critical in
preventing the growth of foodborne bacteria. The key is
to never let your picnic food remain in the "Danger
Zone":
between 40° F and 140° F - for more than 2 hours, or
1 hour if outdoor temperatures are above 90° F. This is
when bacteria in food can multiply rapidly, and lead to
foodborne illness.
COLD FOOD: It should not sit out for longer than 2
hours, or 1 hour if the outdoor temperature is above 90
degrees. If it does — discard it!
HOT FOOD: It should be kept hot, at or above 140° F.
Wrap it well and place it in an insulated container until
serving. Just as with cold food - these foods should not sit
out for more than 2 hours, or 1 hour in temperatures
above 90° F. If food is left out longer, throw it away to be
safe. DON'T REUSE PLATTERS OR UTENSILS!
Using the same platter or utensils that previously held
raw meat, poultry, or seafood allows bacteria from the
raw food’s juices to spread to the cooked food. Instead,
have a clean platter and utensils ready at grill-side to
serve your food.

Summertime is for Cook-Outs & Picnics
Horace Tomlinson, Building Maintenance & Operations,
was nominated by his director, Allen Boyette,
for his outstanding state government service. In
his role as maintenance planner, Horace
manages numerous building repair and
maintenance projects. This past year he prepared
the RFP (Request for Proposal), oversaw the
bidding, and coordinated the work for the
preventive maintenance of all of the large
chillers in the department spanning 18 different campus
buildings. As part of this effort, he also coordinated all oil
sampling and analysis to move the department towards a more
efficient and effective predictive maintenance program for these
large and costly pieces of equipment. His efforts led to the cost
avoidance of $25,000 of unnecessary chiller maintenance,
allowing the funds to be utilized for more immediate priorities.
Horace also manages the departmental refrigerant program
(both fluorocarbons and chlorofluorocarbons) and maintains
usage records to reduce ozone depletion and greenhouse gas
emissions. As a result of his efforts, the department has
achieved 100% compliance with all state and EPA inspections.
Also, during a 7-month period in 2013, Horace performed
exceptionally well while serving as the Maintenance Shop
Supervisor in an interim role.
Chris Wolfgang, Repair & Renovation—General
Shop Supervisor. Chris’ nomination was
from a colleague in the Office of
University Architect (OUA) who focused
on Chris’ unique ability to show consistent
and exceptional customer service. Like
Chris, OUA works with many different
University departments, institutes, and
centers, and Chris’ leadership with his staff really is
evident in his department’s customer service. Whether
the issue is a critical situation that needs immediate
attention or a general work request, Chris has always
shown excellent customer service in calmness and an
attitude of “we will get the job done for whatever it
takes.” In short, Chris’ deposition is ‘what can I do for
you,’ first and foremost, and that is reflected by his staff.
Many of his colleagues share the same sentiments:
It is a pleasure to work with Chris; his response to
requests have always been immediate, and his track
record is that he follows through on tough tasks.
And, this is not all . . . Read more about Chris on

The Facilities Division has been utilizing
interns in several departments for many years.
This intern program helps accomplish
required work for each department as well as
providing an excellent learning experience for
our student community at NC State.
FACILITIES ADMINISTRATION
Earlier this month, Jeff Hightower had two interns, but they
have moved on to their summer jobs. However, he plans to
work with interns in the future. Jeff says “ I think this is a
way that Facilities Operations can support the University's
strategic plan.”
BUILDING MAINTENANCE
& OPERATIONS The majority of the intern work efforts include assisting
Facilities engineers and assisting Project Managers on repair
and maintenance efforts for campus.
Charles Hooker, from Durham, NC, is
currently an NC State senior in the Electrical
Engineering Program and working an
internship to further develop his career skills
and related talents. For the past 2 years, he
has worked for NCSU Housing and The
McKimmon Conference and Training Center.
Currently his duties and responsibilities here
with us for summer 2014 are assisting Facility engineers in
maintenance, repair, and renovation of the electrical,
mechanical, and building automation systems around the
University.
Being a senior, there is so little time for leisure, but
when time allows Charles like to go to the gym, play golf,
basketball, football, or anything athletically related. Charles’
conscious efforts of giving back to the community have been
with a focus on the youth in both academics and athletics, as
well as having prepared free meals for the homeless.
With his younger brother attending UNC and Charles
having grown up Duke fan, he has found he has gone through
a conversion process over the past 4 years and now he is
proud to say, “ I am a Wolfpack fan.”
REPAIR & RENOVATION

“Where Are They, Now?”
Like a good neighbor, Environmental Health and Safety needed
office space, as well as Building Maintenance and Operations.
So, BM&O and Facilities Human Resources went to work with
relocation events and realignments.
The Control Shop. Three employees
(Denny Williamss, Steve Boggs, and Carl
Dudley) are now located in Administrative
Services Center III.
And, the Commissioning Team has moved
from Admin II to our Sullivan Complex (previously the Control
Shop location).
Zone A7 Brenda Autry, interim zone manager, says
“I just want to thank all my team members for their hard
work.”
New Supervisor! Richard Currin, BM&O
Engineer, has worked for NC State Field Labs
for 21 years and NC State Biological & Agri-
cultural Engineering for 8 years. He is from
Oxford, NC and says, “I like friendly peo-
ple.” He finds this location attractive due to it
being between the mountains and the beach, as well there are a
lot of open spaces.
Richard loves watching sports, particularly Wolf Pack
sports. He has held football and basketball season tickets for 30
years. He has been on the faculty’s bowling, softball, and bas-
ketball team. For giving back to the community, he has been
involved with missionary trips with his church, and worked
with Habitat for Humanity (serving as the electrical contractor
on some homes). Of course, he does enjoy reading engineer-
ing books.
Of his two daughter, one goes to Appalachian State, and his
youngest daughter is a senior here at NC State. 2014 EQUAL

his family. Now she is here with her mother and
daughter who followed her, as well as her sister. Her
most recent accomplishment occurred prior to her
leaving Pennsylvania — receiving her degree in Early
Childhood Education from Chestnut Hill in
Philadelphia. When asked about her community service
endeavors and interests, you can tell she has a
compassionate heart as she has been a foster parent for
numerous children, and now that she is here . . . Paula is
looking to be involved in supporting the YMCA, as well
as nearby schools. Paula commented, “You don’t know
how you can touch people lives.”
In her spare time, Paula likes to listen to gospel,
smooth jazz, and definitely “Old School” (Earth, Wind,
and Fire and Stevie Wonder).
Oh, yes!! Paula is now a “Wolfpack Fan.”

Another Benefit of Walking
Looking to boost your brain power?
Walking improves your ability to make
decisions, solve problems, and focus.
Even small doses of walking, like a 15-
minute trek, can increase your brain power.
We all know the more intense and more time spent
walking, it revs up your metabolism and the weight may
just start melting away, especially if you also engage in
healthy eating habits.
Remember ! It’s Summer! If you don’t drink cool water
regularly, dehydration can lead to
heat stroke which can be life-
threatening and require immediate,
medical attention.
