PUBLIC AFFAIRS

In May, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling(JBAB) base police officers stepped up ef-forts to raise awareness about speed limitson base.

They are continuing enforcement ofthose limits by issuing tickets to violators.

Since Jan. 1, base police have issuedmore than 50 tickets for speeding, including48 for 3-point violations, seven for 4-pointviolations, and one for both reckless driving(six points) and speed in excess of 20 mph(five points).

The top speed permitted at JBAB is 35miles per hour onmain thoroughfares. Speedlimits are significantly lower in areas aroundthe Child Development Centers and housing.

According toLt. JosephMitchell, a JBABpo-lice watch commander, the number one con-cern continues to be the safety of pedestrians.

“We have a heavy amount of pedestriantraffic on base,” said Mitchell. “The safety ofthe populace and the employees who workhere is our priority.”

Mitchell noted road travel is heaviest inthe morning hours, with pedestrian trafficespecially busy in the areas on the northside of the base and near DIA (Defense In-telligence Agency).

Currently, there are no fines for trafficviolations; however, according to Mitchell,the base is in the final stages of receivingauthority from Washington’s Metropolitan

Police Department to issue tickets that carryserious consequences - including monetarypenalties - for “egregious”moving violations.

“There’s no definitive date on when itwill happen, but it will cover DUIs (drivingunder the influence), collisions, and speed-ing in excess of 20 miles over the [posted]limit,” he explained.

Even without fines, consequences forspeeding on JBAB can be serious. The base-line penalty is issuance of a ticket withpoints, but speeding 10 miles per hour ormore above the posted limit in residentialareas can result in a 14-day suspension ofdriving privileges on base.

Driverswho accumulatemore than 12 pointscan have their base driving privileges suspendedforayear.

Ticketedinfractionswillalsobereportedtothedriver’s supervisoror sponsor (asappropriate).

Residents and members of the base popu-lation who have concerns about speeding cancontact thebasepolice at 202-767-5000or 5001.

BY WILLIAM THIESENHISTORIAN, U.S. COAST GUARD ATLANTIC AREA

Those familiar with Coast Guard his-tory know that the service’s developmenthas been shaped in part by the nation’s re-sponse to natural and man-made disasters.Nowhere is that lesson clearer than the his-tory of the service’s search and rescue, orSAR, mission.

The Revenue Cutter Service, one of thepredecessor services to the Coast Guard,assisted mariners at sea beginning in the1790s; however, this core mission did not re-ceive official sanction until 1837. That year,the bark Mexico came ashore near New YorkHarbor with the loss of over 100 passengersand crew.

In response to this tragedy, federal of-ficials recognized the need for governmentassistance for ships in danger. In Decemberof that year, Congress passed legislation as-signing revenue cutters responsibility foraiding vessels requiring assistance. Ironi-cally, that same year saw the constructionof the three-masted ship Powhatan, anothervessel that played a role in spurring federallifesaving legislation.

In 1854, two major maritime disasterstook place in New Jersey. In April, morethan two hundred lives were lost when thePowhatan wrecked on the Jersey Shore. InNovember, another 220 lives were lost whenthe ship New Era came ashore in New Jersey.

In response to this horrific loss of life,Congress passed what became known as theAct of Dec. 15, 1854. This proved one of themost sweeping bills in U.S. lifesaving his-tory, greatly expanding the federal govern-ment’s ability to support lifesaving efforts.

The late summer and early winter of1870 proved another deadly shipwreck sea-son. The numerous ships wrecking on U.S.shores raised awareness of the nation’s in-adequate land-based lifesaving capability.

Secretary of the Treasury George Bout-well responded by establishing a superinten-dent’s position to direct the Department’sRevenue Marine Division, which oversawsteamboat inspection, marine hospitals andlifesaving stations. In February 1871, Bout-well appointed Superintendent SumnerKimball, who initiated the rapid expansionof U.S. lifesaving operations and, in 1878, es-tablished the U.S. Life-Saving Service.

The late 1800s and early 1900s, saw hun-dreds of surfmen from the U.S. Life-SavingService go in harm’s way to save the victimsof maritime disasters. These heroic indi-viduals included Capt. Joshua James, who

served as a lifesaver for sixty years.During his career, he earned almost ev-

ery medal available to surfmen for mari-time rescues. James’s medals included theprestigious Gold Lifesaving Medal, whichhe received in 1888 for rescuing survivorsfrom five different shipwrecks during a se-vere two-day winter storm. Kimball believedJames to be the most important lifesaver inthe history of the service.

During James’ lengthy career, the Life-Saving Service saw the development of im-proved lifesaving technology, including newrescue devices, improved flares and person-al floatation devices, tractor-pulled beachequipment and motorized lifeboats. Duringthis same period, the Revenue Cutter Servicesaw the technological transition of its cuttersfrom ponderous wooden sailing vessels to faststeel-hulled propeller steamships.

In 1915, Congress passed important life-saving legislation once again. This time, thebill merged the U.S. Revenue Cutter Serviceand U.S. Life-Saving Service. In so doing,this act combined the federal government’s

two agencies responsible for maritime safe-ty on land and at sea into one modern or-ganization with overall jurisdiction: the U.S.Coast Guard.

Not long after formation of the modern-day Coast Guard, rapid advances took placein seaborne aviation technology. The ser-vice soon added an amphibian fixed-wingaircraft capability to the fleet of lifesavingboats and Coast Guard cutters already sup-porting the SAR mission. These new CoastGuard aircraft provided rapid response as-sets for over-the horizon rescues and theyserved in numerous high-profile cases, in-cluding Gold Lifesaving Medal rescues in1929, 1933 and 1937.

During the 1930s, the service continuedto perfect the use of amphibian aircraft forSAR cases. However, in World War II, theCoast Guard developed the helicopter, anew form of aviation technology that hassince become synonymous with the ser-vice’s SAR mission.

Coast Guard helicopters and their asso-ciated rescue hoist devices improved in the

decades following the war and rotary-wingassets gradually supplanted fixed-wing am-phibian aircraft as the service’s primaryaviation asset. In 1983, the tragic loss of theSS Marine Electric and most of her crew,spurred Congress to pass legislation estab-lishing the Coast Guard’s rescue swimmerprogram. This bill added yet another valu-able piece to the service’s modern searchand rescue system.

In 2006, the Coast Guard’s SAR missionsaw a different call for help when HurricaneKatrina ravished the gulf coast. During theweeks that followed, the Coast Guard re-sponded to the nearly 60,000 people await-ing rescue from rooftops and flooded homes.Of those 60,000, Coast Guard men and wom-en rescued more than 33,500 people.

While marine accidents and changingtechnology has shaped the Coast Guard’sSAR mission from the early 1800s to presentday, it remains clear that the Coast Guardstands ready to adapt to the changing envi-ronment and needs of the nation to providethese crucial rescue services.

As people spend more and more timestaring at screens for the majority of the day,the question that begins to creep up is whatkind of damage is this doing to our eyes?

Dr. Jessica Hall, civilian optometristwith the 579th Medical Group at Joint BaseAnacostia-Bolling (JBAB), says she has beenseeing a steady increase in patients comingin to see her due to symptoms of computervision syndrome (CVS).

“We get a lot of computer related issues,”she said. “We are in the National Capital Re-gion and a number of my patients spend allday on the computer.”

CVS is a condition resulting from theconstant focusing your eye must do whileyou are sitting at the computer. Combinethat with the glare from the screen and it isa recipe for injuries to occur, she said.

When you are looking at a computer thatis an arms-length away or closer to you,your eyes have to exert effort to focus on it,she said. If you do that enough hours of theday it causes eye strain.

Common symptoms of CVS are an achyfeeling around the eye that can often lead tofrontal headaches. You may also experiencedry eyes and possible blurred or double vision.

CVS is also caused by the repeated star-ing at other electronic devices.

“All electronic devices cause the sameeffects,” she said. “So, whether it’s a smartphone, a tablet or a computer, all of thosethings fall into that category.”

With younger and younger kids now us-ing electronic devices for long hours everyday, the increase in eye strain injuries couldbe spreading to children.

“I’m concerned,” Hall said. “Young kidsunder the age of five should not really be us-ing electronic devices.”

To combat these issues there are severaleasy solutions that you can do. First, takebreaks throughout the day. Hall recom-mended that for every 20 minutes of com-puter work you should look at somethingthat is 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Also, justget up and move around and take an overallbreak once and awhile.

Second, get an eye exam every two years.However, if you are currently experiencingeye discomfort you should go in for an eyeexam now. While you’re there make sure totell your doctor about your eye problemsrelating to your electronic devices, she said.They can check to see if you need prescrip-tion glasses or if the prescription you have

is correct which is a big key.“Get the right prescription and get your rest

breaks because it really does help,” she said.Anyone with Tricare health insurance

is eligible for a free eye exam annually. Toschedule an appointment please call 202-404-6425. The optometrist office is openMonday through Friday.

U.S. AIR FORCE BAND

The U.S. Air Force Band was recentlynamed “Community Partner of the Year” bythe BRIDGES music program based at Cun-ningham Park Elementary School in Vienna,Virginia. Eleven members of the Band vol-unteered their time and musical expertiseat the BRIDGES program, coaching weeklyafterschool sessions as a part of the Band’s“AIM - Advancing Innovation through Music”education and community outreach mission.

“I feel we had a vital impact on the pro-gram,” said Tech. Sgt. Sara Wollmacher, amanager of the U.S. Air Force Band’s AIMprogram and coordinator of the BRIDGESeffort. “It was influential for the students tosee military professionals teaching and play-ing the same instruments they are learning,”she added. “It’s important for new musicstudents to have a positive role model.”

The award was presented by BRIDGESdirector Bonny Tynch at an end of the yearcelebration held for BRIDGES faculty, com-munity partners, and participants.

“Students would leave their classes withthe Air Force musicians motivated and ex-cited about learning their instrument”, saidTynch. “We are grateful for our military mu-sicians and for all they do in our schools, inour communities, and for our country.”

Now in its third year, the BRIDGES pro-gram, founded by Tynch and modeled afterVenezuela’s highly successful “El Sistema”

program, is an intensive after-school musiccurriculum that seeks to develop creativityand musical excellence among underservedchildren. Students are developed in a sup-portive environment where children andfamilies from diverse cultures and socio-economic realities are “welcomed, loved,and respected,” all at limited financial ex-pense to the student.

The BRIDGES students also enjoyed theopportunity to see their Air Force mentorsperform up close during the holiday season,when the group attended the band’s popular“Holiday Matinee for Kids” concert at Con-stitution Hall in December. “The BRIDGEScrew was so excited to be in attendance atthe concert!” said Tynch. “It was extra spe-cial because the students knew some of theperformers from our AIM visits.”

Wollmacher added, “We loved getting toknow these students throughout the year.Many of the beginning students had neverworked with a teacher before, so it was in-spiring for our band members to be out there‘giving back’ in the greater D.C. community.”

The U.S. Air Force Band’s AIM outreachprogram continues to expand through localeducational partnerships and events acrossAmerica. In fact, the program reached over23,000 students this school year, providingfirst-class music education and mentorshipto students and teachers of all ages in 116events across the country.
