Summer is here and mosquito season is in full swing, which means from April to October, Air Force Public Health technicians, Navy Preventive Medicine technicians and Pest Management are all busy trying to eliminate as many mosquitoes as they can.

Our technicians trap mosquitoes on a weekly basis and then provide preventive medicine with the information so they can take appropriate control measures, such as spraying.

While eliminating all mosquitoes is not possible, there are steps you can take to minimize their interference with your fun in the sun and greatly reduce your exposure to the diseases they may carry.

A little known fact is that only adult female mosquitoes bite and they only need two things: a blood meal (you) and standing water to lay their eggs.

Repellents do help reduce the incidence of bites, but it is far more efficient and personally comfortable to eliminate mosquito populations before they hatch and launch their attack. You can take a more active role in the program and significantly reduce the number of mosquitoes in your area by scouting for breeding places and eliminating them. Here are some things you can do: • Remove old tires that collect rain water • Clean out clogged rain gutters • Cover or turn over items that can collect

water such as buckets, boats, kiddy pools • Anything you can do to eliminate standing water, including emptying water standing in potted plant containers, inside or outside Eradicating every breeding site would truly be mission impossible, but you can prevent bites by: • Using a product that contains 20-50 percent DEET • When possible, stay inside well-screened areas at dawn, dusk and nighttime • Wear light colored clothing and long sleeves/pants when outside • Make sure door and window screens do not have holes • When camping or sleeping outdoors, sleep under a permethrin-impregnated bed net If you have any questions or need to report increased mosquito activity of concern, here are the offices you should contact. Please note however, residents of base housing must contact their respective housing management agency since the military no longer has jurisdiction to trap or spray in those areas on each base with the exception of aerial spraying.

Air Force Base: Forrest City Housing: (843) 552-3358 for all housing residents / Public Health: 963-6954 for all other personnel and areas on the base Naval Weapon Station: Balfour Beatty Housing: (843) 797-5631 for all housing residents / Navy Preventive Medicine: (843-794-6552) for all other personnel and areas on the base.

Aerial spraying planned

The Joint Base Charleston 628th Civil Engineer Squadron will be conducting aerial spraying for mosquitoes at Joint Base Charleston – Weapons Station in Goose Creek, S.C., July 6. The spraying will occur during the final two daylight hours prior to sunset and up to 30 minutes after sunset. A back-up date of July 7 is scheduled in case of inclement weather on the 6th.

Due to high tides and recent heavy rains, large populations of salt marsh and container breeding mosquitoes are becoming a nuisance to base and area residents. Aerial application is only considered after other attempts such as larvicides and ultra-low volume ground fogging of adult mosquitoes fails to reduce biting counts.

The 910th Airlift Wing, Aerial Spray Squadron from Youngstown Air Reserve Station, Youngstown, Ohio, will conduct the aerial spraying using a specially-modified C-130H aircraft and Modular Aerial Spray Systems. The squadron will be applying the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency registered pesticide Trumpet, which is registered for use in the state of South Carolina. However, sensitive individuals should remain indoors and beekeepers should take precautions during the application.

Anyone with concerns about the aerial spraying should contact the Joint Base Charleston Public Affairs office at 963-5608.

Parking lot will close for repaving July 9

Courtesy of 628th Civil Engineer Squadron

The 628th Civil Engineer Squadron is scheduled to mill and repave the South Davis Dr. parking lot at Joint Base Charleston - Air Base July 9 through Sept. 30.

This is the primary parking lot for Bldgs. 245 - 248.

These buildings house the ALERT dormitories, Airman Leadership School and various other support offices.

Work will be phased to allow approximately half of the lot to remain open for daily and ALERT parking throughout the project. However, long term privately owned vehicles parked in the lot need to be relocated to the designated Overflow Long Term Parking area at the north end of South Graves Ave., prior to July 9.

If you have any questions, contact Master Sgt. Natasha Facklam at 963-5002 or Staff Sgt. Mary Baillie at 963-4999.

Be prepared for the parking lot on South Davis Drive to be repaved.

COMMENTARY

Commentary by David Hunt 628th Air Base Wing Deputy Inspector General

I recently had the privilege of attending the ribbon cutting for our beautiful new base housing.

The ceremony made me a little melancholy as the location was just across the street from a now vacant field where my family first moved into base housing almost 30 years ago. A lot of changes have taken place, but as I consider the differences from then to now I am always encouraged that the one constant, the one thing that made, and still makes, the mission happen in a world class way are the people. Joint Base Charleston is blessed to have a group of talented professionals that on a daily basis make the difficult look easy. Sometimes problems arise hindering the effective accomplishment of our mission.

When these problems seemingly can't be resolved, then the Inspector General's office can help.

For the IG to effectively resolve complaints, all personnel must understand they have unrestricted access to the IG. Title 10 USC § 1034, commonly referred to as the "Whistleblower Protection Act," states no one may restrict or reprise against anyone, in any way, for

bringing an issue to the IG or their congressman. This ensures people have the freedom to speak up about wrongs without fear of retaliation. Sounds simple enough, but what are reprisal and restriction?

Air Force Instruction 90-301 defines restriction as "preventing or attempting to prevent members of the Armed Forces from making or preparing to make lawful communications to members of Congress and/or an IG." The instruction states, "Restriction may be communicated by a variety of means (e.g., verbal, written policy, regulation, order, procedure, counseling or public statement) and creates a chilling effect." A "chilling effect" is further defined as, "Those actions, through words or behavior, that would tend to prevent an individual(s) from taking a proposed course of action," with that "proposed course of action" being communicating or attempting to communicate with members of Congress and/or an IG. AFI 90-301 defines reprisal as "taking or threatening to take an unfavorable personnel action or withholding or threatening to withhold a favorable personnel action on a military member for making or preparing to make a Protected Communication."

A PC is any communication made to a member of

Congress or an IG. Additionally, a PC is also created when a member reports anything they reasonably believe is a wrong doing to anyone in their chain of command, chiefs, first sergeants, inspectors and auditors.

All reports of reprisal or restriction must be investigated by the Inspector General's office with oversight and direction from the Headquarters Air Mobility Command IG office, the Secretary of the Air Force IG and the Department of Defense IG. This process ensures members of the military community can confidently present their concerns to the Inspector General without fear of retaliation. Although members should attempt to resolve issues at the lowest level, the IG office is available to provide assistance. These same rights apply to government civilian employees as well; however, government civilians file their complaints directly with the DoD IG office. The IG office can assist civilians on how to file a complaint. If you have questions or need further clarification, please contact us. The Joint Base Charleston IG office is located on the second floor of Bldg. 246, at 205 S. Davis Dr. and our phone numbers are 963-3552 and 963-5036.

July 4th: A special day in history

Commentary by Master Sgt. Harley Davis 437th Maintenance Operations Squadron

This past week commemorates an important day in American history.

Nearly 236 years ago, the colonies of this nation declared themselves independent of Britain. On July 4, 1776, America was born; along with democracy. That's why we celebrate Independence Day each year on the Fourth of July.

As we celebrate Independence Day with family and friends, let's not forget about the many sacrifices it took for our country to achieve its great-

ness. Today, we enjoy freedom because of those sacrifices. We should realize that without the courage and bravery of those before us, we might not have this freedom. Each and every Airman and Sailor should be proud of what they do. Your courage and bravery to defend our country has contributed to the past 236 years of freedom. Your sacrifices will allow future generations to enjoy the same freedoms that we have today.

With that, I say thank you for your commitment, dedication and service to our country. I hope you had a safe holiday and may we celebrate another 200 years of freedom.

‘Have pride in your uniform’

Commentary by Tech. Sgt. Samuel Morse 374th Airlift Wing Public Affairs

YOKOTA AIR BASE, Japan – Perhaps the phrase, "Have pride in your uniform," evokes flashbacks of basic training or a particularly exacting first sergeant, but in the spirit of National Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month, I think we can look at this phrase in a new light.

I'm proud of my nation, my president, my Air Force and my colleagues for giving us the current state of LGBT rights in the United States. As a bisexual service member, being able to put on my uniform and live the core values of integrity, service and excellence to their truest meaning has instilled immeasurable pride in wearing that uniform. The past year has seen some significant changes to LGBT rights as a whole, but no change has been more pivotal to those of us serving in the armed forces than the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" last September.

"Because we repealed 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' gay, lesbian and bisexual Americans can serve their country openly, honestly, and without fear of losing their jobs because of whom they love," said President Barack Obama in his proclamation of LGBT Pride Month for June 2012.

It's hard to imagine the repeal only happened a few short months ago. Life has gained a sense of

normalcy I never had thought possible prior to the repeal. Just being able to answer the question of "What did you do for fun this weekend?" openly and honestly is a breath of fresh air.

About two months ago, Tokyo had its first pride parade, which will continue annually. I walked the parade route through Harajuku and Shibuya with 11 other service members from bases around Honshu. I can't begin to describe the feeling of walking with the 2,500-person-strong parade and seeing the 2,000 spectators, Japanese and a few Americans I recognized from base, all cheering us on and waving rainbow flags.

Participating in an event like that would have been unimaginable just two years ago.

My pride isn't limited to just the repeal of DADT, though. Obama referred to LGBT rights as simply being human rights, and said his administration continues to engage with the American and international communities to promote and protect those rights.

I attended a reception in honor of LGBT Pride Month at U.S. Ambassador John V. Roos' house in Tokyo on June 4, and I spoke to some of the guests representing LGBT communities from around the world. It was truly eye-opening to see the great variation of acceptance people see depending on where they are born. Countries like Holland have supported LGBT equality since

World War I, while other countries still consider homosexuality to be a criminal offense. As our country continues to move forward, I am incredibly thankful to be American, and to live in this age of new possibilities.

So here it is, my "pride in uniform." I'm proud of my government and my commander-in-chief for allowing me to serve openly. I'm proud of my country for fighting for my rights just as much as I fight for theirs. I'm proud of my unit for accepting me for who I am and holding my value as an Airman above my orientation. I'm proud of my LGBT friends for showing honest solidarity as we embrace this new future. I'm proud of the rest of my friends for supporting me through the good times and especially the bad, regardless of their own orientation. Mostly, I'm proud to be a bisexual Airman serving the world's greatest air power.

As the month of June comes to a close, be proud of the fact that we have successfully done what some have said would destroy unit cohesion and morale, while instead strengthening the bonds with our fellow service members though honesty.

Be proud of those who came out of the proverbial closet to bravely fight for their rights before it was socially acceptable to do so. And, if you are part of the LGBT community, be proud of who you are, because the only person who can ultimately define your true worth is you.

I am an American Airman: I will not fail!

Commentary by Staff Sgt. Torri Savarese 90th Missile Wing Public Affairs

F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. – Early in my Air Force career, I overheard an NCO say, "The only tradition in the Air Force is constant change." I should clarify that he more grumbled it than said it. I remember thinking how odd of an expression that was, and how the disdain in his voice was unmistakable. I was still very "blue" of course, so I had not had any of the Air Force newness wear off yet.

It wasn't until about a year ago that I realized the newness had worn off. It was within my first few days of Airman Leadership School where it was explained to us that we were to learn the Airman's Creed as part of our curriculum. Before even realizing what I was doing, I found myself spouting the same words I heard from that NCO, years before. "The only tradition in the Air Force is constant change," I mumbled to my fellow classmates. Some of them laughed, some of them agreed, but I couldn't shake the numb feeling that crept over me.

We all learned to recite the creed, and most of us could say it on the spot.

U.S. Air Force photo / Staff Sgt. Torri Savarese There was something missing, though; something that lacked conviction and New Airmen march along the bomb run on the parade field at Lackland Air true feeling. I have heard many people grumble about the Airman's Creed, Force Base, Texas, June 1, 2012. saying it is fabricated motivation and just one more thing the Air Force is doing to inconvenience its Airmen. People who feel overworked and underappreciated ridicule the Air Force's "attempt" to motivate its Airmen through is something every new Airman is taught from their first day of BMT. I was something as ambiguous as a few stanzas jotted down on a page. I have to worried the creed would come out as I have heard it so many other times confess I was one of those people, until about a month ago. mumbled, morose and monotone. I was shocked when I heard the conviction June 1 was an exciting day for me. My brother-in-law, Jonathan Savarese, of all the Airmen speaking in one voice, "I am an American Airman..." I was graduating Basic Military Training at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas. It wanted to join in with them halfway through their oration, and wasn't surwas the first time I had been back to Lackland since my own graduation prised to see many other Airmen in the audience already had. The final line almost six years ago. I wanted to make sure my uniform was perfect from of the creed was not spoken; no, it was shouted in a unified voice that made head to toe, and that I was representing the NCO corps well. I knew the the chills run up and down my spine - "AND I WILL NOT FAIL!" young Airmen graduating would look to me as an example of what the stanI know that every Airman who comes into my keeping is still very dard should be, and I knew I could not have one hair out of place. "blue" like we all once were, and I know how important it is to grow that The pass and review was spectacular; I had never seen anything like it Airman into an exceptional NCO, despite my own prejudices. I ask all of before. Each Airman, so proud of their accomplishment, marched as straight my fellow NCOs to take a minute and reflect on your march down the and as perfect as it gets. I remembered how proud I was when I marched that bomb run. I ask each of you look at your "blue" Airmen and not snuff out same bomb run, and my eyes started to water. I held back emotion when the pride and excitement they have. Instead of trying to morph them into every Airman pledged their Oath of Enlistment; their solemn promise to pro- shells of their basic-trainee selves, mocking their motivation as something tect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I was filled with pride to be embarrassed about, can we cultivate the professionalism, pride and to have these new Airmen as my brothers and sisters, knowing we all came determination they come to us with? Can we let them remind us what it from the very same place, and marched on the very same field. means to be an American Airman? This openness to change will ensure The ceremony culminated with the reciting of the Airman's Creed, which that we all will not fail.

Summer reading program benefits kids

By Angela Aschenbrenner Joint Base Charleston Libraries director

The third annual Department of Defense Summer Reading Program, "Reading is So Delicious," is currently underway at your Joint Base Charleston libraries. Registration continues through July 9.

"The goal of the library's Summer Reading Program is to encourage children to continue reading through the summer so they return to school in the fall at the same reading levels they were at in the spring," said Angela Aschenbrenner, Joint Base Charleston Libraries director.

"This year we expanded our programming for summer to include adults in an effort to tie our highly popular program with the Single Airman Initiative and the results have been amazing. Adult registrations are the second largest registration group and it's growing every day," said Aschenbrenner. "I think this also strengthens children and youth programs because seeing their parents reading will encourage the kids to read more.”

"We tried to make the program more enticing to ages that are difficult to bring into the library, like teens, by switching to a point based system which allows them to earn points for attending programs and for checking out items like movies, magazines and other digital media ... however books still hold the highest point value," said Aschenbrenner.

Both the Air Base Library and the Weapons Station Branch Library have dozens of programs planned for the 2012 event.

"We have programs scheduled for all age groups and they will appeal to people with various interests," said Kaitlyn Harshman, Joint Base Charleston Libraries program coordinator.

"Programs include demonstrations from the Charleston Area Beekeepers Association, to movie showings for all age groups, Teen Takeovers, boardgame nights and video-gaming nights. All programs are free to the base community."

"To embrace some of the expanded digital resources, the library stepped up this year's prizes," said Ashley Barrineau, Joint Base Charleston Libraries reference librarian. "We'll be giving away a Leap Frog Tag, a Leap Frog Leap-pad Explorer and Nook Simple Touches with gift cards for the two oldest age groups. Gifts will be awarded to top readers in each age group."

Reading is So Delicious will wrap up July 28 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Weapons Station Branch Library.

"I want our grand finale to be an event for the entire base community. It will be an excellent way to wind down our summer as we gear up for a major renovation project for the Weapons Station Branch Library," said Aschenbrenner. "I think our customers are going to be very excited about what will be coming from their Joint Base Charleston Libraries in the next year.

The gift of health requires discipline and dedication

By Maj. Helda Carey 628th Medical Group Disease Management nurse

"Every human being is the author of his own health or disease." (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)

No matter how old you are, you should always take care of your health. Taking care of your body prevents or decreases the likelihood of developing chronic diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other medical problems.

Achieving or maintaining a healthy state is simple, but requires discipline and dedication. Taking steps to eat healthier, exercise and manage any existing medical conditions will reward you with the greatest gift of all – the gift of health.

To begin your journey to better health, your health care partners at the 628th Medical Group, recommend that you schedule a routine physical with your Primary Care manager.

Whether healthy or already having medical problems, a physical is an opportunity for you to meet your PCM, receive a comprehensive evaluation of your current health status and guide you to improve or manage your health.

A routine annual physical or as instructed by your health provider visit will: • Screen for diseases

• Assess risk of future medical problems • Encourage a healthy lifestyle • Update vaccinations • Maintain a relationship with your health provider team for better continuity of care • Refer you for further screening test or further medical care as needed Take time to evaluate your current health status and that of your family. If you or your family has been following a less than optimal nutritional program and a less than optimal physical activity routine, scheduling a routine physical exam will provide valuable information to improve your and your families' health.

If, on the other hand, you see yourself as healthy, scheduling a physical will provide you with a baseline of your health status and encourage you to continue habits aimed at staying healthy. Your PCM team is your primary link to helping you manage your medical care.

Scheduling a physical for 628 MDG TRICARE Prime beneficiaries is simple: 1. Contact the appointment line at 843-963-6800 to schedule a well visit.

2. Request a PCM team member call you back regarding instructions on any needed or recommended lab work for you to accomplish prior to the day of your scheduled visit.

(Having the results available on the day of your appointment assists your PCM to evaluate how your body is functioning).

3. Bring a list with the names of all the medications you are taking, how much you take, how often you take them and the reason for taking each medication. (Include over the counter medications, vitamins, herbs and any other supplements).

4. For diabetic or hypertensive patients, we recommend bringing a log of your blood sugars and/or blood pressure readings. This log will provide your PCM with a better picture of how you are managing your condition at home.

Patients with diabetes, hypertension (elevated blood pressure), hyperlipidemia (elevated blood lipids) and asthma should schedule a yearly physical and follow up as instructed by their PCM. The Disease Management team in close communication with the PCM teams monitors and coordinates care for patients with these medical conditions.

The Disease Management team, composed of two registered nurses, ensures patients are receiving appropriate medical care to manage their condition. The team aims to increase awareness and educate patients on ways to improve their health and prevent or decrease medical complications associated with these conditions.

As the poet Marcus Valerius Martialis quoted, "Life is not merely being alive, but being well."

Staying healthy is easier than you think. You can do it. We are here to help you.

CCAF graduates 154 Airmen in May 31st ceremony

By Jacqueline Ford 628th Force Support Squadron Education advisor

Joint Base Charleston held its annual Community College of the Air Force graduation ceremony May 31 at the Air Base Theater and 154 graduates were honored. Chief Master Sgt. Debra Mosely, 628th Air Base Wing superintendent, was the guest speaker.

"The purpose of education in any society is to maintain the cultural heritage and improve both society and the individual," said Darrell Nesbitt, 628th Force Support Squadron, Education and Training chief. In the Air Force, education serves to promote the interrelated goals of self-development, citizenship and career advancement.

"After more than 20 years, CCAF is still fulfilling the mission of enhancing AF readiness by improving the technological, managerial and leadership skills of the enlisted force," Nesbitt said.

Airman 1st Class Donald Farris 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron

Each month, Joint Base Charleston's Honor Guard selects one member from the team to be in the Honor Guard Spotlight. This month's Honor Guard Spotlight is Airman 1st Class Donald Farris.

Hometown: Ridgecrest, Calif.

Squadron and job title: 437th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron communication navigation journeyman Reason for joining the Honor Guard: I joined Joint Base Charleston's Honor Guard to gain a new experience.

Short-term and Long-term goals: One of my shortterm goals is to cross-train into the Tactical Air Control Party and one of my long-term goals is to own and operate my own business someday.

Quote: "People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." -George Orwell

Honor Guard Charge H - Handpicked to serve as a member of the Joint Base Charleston Honor Guard, my standards of conduct and level of professionalism must be above reproach, for I represent all others in my service.

O - Others earned the right for me to wear the ceremonial uniform, one that is honored in a rich tradition and history. I will honor their memory by wearing it properly and proudly.

N - Never will I allow my performance to be dictated by the type of ceremony, severity of the temperature or size of the crowd. I will remain superbly conditioned to perfect all movements throughout every drill and ceremony.

O - Obligated by my oath, I am constantly driven to excel by a deep devotion to duty and a strong sense of dedication.

R - Representing every member, past and present, of the United States Air Force, I vow to stand sharp, crisp and motionless, for I am a Ceremonial Guardsman.

CNO announces new Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy

WASHINGTON – The Chief of Naval Operations, Jonathan Greenert, announced his selection of Fleet Command Master Chief Michael Stevens as the 13th Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy at a Pentagon press conference June 27.

"I was extremely proud to have such a highly and fully qualified group of candidates," said Greenert. "After a thorough and deliberate process I selected FLTCM Stevens to be our Navy's senior enlisted leader and my advisor for dealing in matters with enlisted personnel and their families."

"I'm honored to have been selected as the 13th Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy," said Stevens. "MCPON Rick West has certainly made a lasting and positive impact on our Navy. I look forward to continuing to provide the leadership and commitment that our Navy and our Sailors both deserve and expect."

Stevens has served as the fleet master chief at U.S. Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Va. since August 2010. His prior command master chief tours include U.S. 2nd Fleet, Helicopter Sea Combat Wing Atlantic, Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadron 14, and Naval Air Station Pensacola. A native of Montana, Stevens joined the Navy in 1983. He will relieve MCPON Rick West during a ceremony Sept. 28 at the Washington Navy Yard.

"Throughout my career, and every Sailor's career, we've had chief petty officers take care of and shape us," said Greenert. "Master Chief Stevens has the leadership and experience to keep us on course and on speed. I look forward to working closely with him."

Greenert also praised West who took the helm in December 2008, citing his outstanding leadership and lifetime of dedicated service.

"I'm proud of MCPON West and what he has accomplished during his watch.

His extraordinary leadership and terrific connection to the fleet has contributed greatly to our warfighting readiness and the readiness of our families," said Greenert. "His example has been a daily reminder to Sailors to live our ethos and to remember the important role families play in our successes."

Living with wildlife on Joint Base Charleston

By Terrence Larimer Joint Base Charleston Natural and Cultural Resources manager

Joint Base Charleston is a unique place ... a place of aircraft, ships, cargo bays, naval munitions and wildlife. Although we may work with nuclear propulsion systems, space age technology and multi-million dollar aircraft, we do this surrounded by the natural world ... and all its inhabitants.

Our workplace is surrounded by large tracts of forest, miles of waterways, ditches, marsh, swamps and other wetlands. Because our work places and residences are close to natural areas, we may encounter our wildlife "neighbors" on a frequent basis. Most of these neighbors are not a threat. However some require caution and may call for some action on our part. Often when we encounter "nuisance wildlife," the best thing to do is just to leave these animals alone.

Usually they will go back into whatever woods or water they emerged from. If they don't, or if they pose an eminent threat to people or pets, there are several options available to JB Charleston personnel.

On the Air Base side, in Forest City Hunley Park Housing, call Forest City at 552-0600. On the Naval Weapons side, in Balfour Beatty's MenRiv Housing area, call the City of Goose Creek's Animal Control at 572-4300. Outside of the JB Charleston housing areas, all nuisance wildlife calls on base should be directed to the JB Charleston Customer Service Number at 963-2692.

Because of limited personnel available to respond, calls for assistance should be limited to situations that involve potential harm to personnel, pets or the wildlife. Alligators or poisonous snakes in yards, playgrounds, workspace or buildings require immediate action to alleviate the threat.

Quick action is also called for when dogs, cats, raccoons, possums, foxes or other animals exhibit signs of rabies. Rabid animals may appear sickly or move awkwardly, foam at the mouth or be hyper: acting aggressive and or unafraid. Avoid contact with these animals and warn others in the area of the threat.

The warm weather and heavy rains have increased the number of snake sightings at JB Charleston. Outdoor enthusiasts should be cautious in areas where snakes may be active.

Venomous snakes on JB Charleston include the Southern Copperhead, Eastern Cottonmouth and Canebrake Rattlesnake.

Most common are Cottonmouths, usually associated with wetlands, and the Copperhead.

They are most often found in brush piles, under logs or other trash. Extra caution is advised since recent heavy rains have flooded many low lying areas flushing these animals out into areas they are not normally found.

All other snakes are harmless and are in fact beneficial because they play an important role in controlling rats, mice and other pests. When snakes are seen, the best policy is to simply stay away. Most people are bitten when they inadvertently step on a snake or when attempting to kill or move poisonous snakes. Snakes are not aggressive unless they feel threatened and if left alone, they will leave you alone.

In case of snake bite, call 911 or the base fire department and community ambulances will respond. By standers should have the bite victim avoid exertion. Stay with the victim, reassure them and keep them warm if necessary. While waiting for transport, bitten limbs should be loosely immobilized in a functional position just below heart level. All rings, watches and constrictive clothing should be removed. All other out-of-hospital interventions - such as tourniquets, topical preparations, wound suction, cryotherapy and electrical shock - are of no proven benefit, may be harmful and could delay appropriate treatment.

As with many problems, the best solution is prevention. Do not feed wildlife either on purpose or by accident. Keeping lids on trash cansand dumpster and refuse container lids and doors closed will discourage wildlife in search of food. Outdoors, do not use an automatic feeder for your pets or put more food in their dish than they will eat at one feeding.

Feed your pets before dark as most wildlife feed at or after dusk. Don't create a situation where your pets have to compete with wildlife for their dinner; they will probably lose, even if you have a fenced yard.

We can live with most animals. Wildlife outdoors generally moves on, especially if there is no food source. Often, our presence alone will cause them to seek refuge elsewhere. More often than not, when animal or pest controllers are called, by the time they arrive the animal is gone and was perhaps not a serious problem in the first place. Learn to recognize wildlife that poses an actual threat, report these and try to enjoy living among animals that are not a threat.
