Friendship inspires domestic violence speaker By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Ten years ago, the inspiration board Ann Podaras created would play a major role in her life. She just didn’t know it then. Monday, at Fort Belvoir’s Army Community Service, she displayed the inspiration board proudly. On it was all of her ideals for where she wanted to be, including living in a house by the water, becoming a published author, and being married with children. For many years, part of Podaras’ focus was to accomplish her career goals. Her parents were the first to go to college in her family and went on to be teachers for 30 years. When she came of age, it was her turn to surpass them. She wanted to get her master’s degree and find a suitable job. But, it wasn’t easy. Podaras, originally from Thailand, had limited Englishspeaking abilities. She said her first job, after earning a bachelor’s degree, was frustrating and difficult because of it. Eventually, she landed a job as an au pair in the U.S. and she was able to improve her English, yet still had difficulties finding a well-paying job. After a series of ups and downs, she created the inspiration board. Married and on maternity leave with her second child, she chose that time to go through some old boxes. There, she found the board and wanted to share her accomplishments with her friend, Naomi Howell. Unfortunately, Howell was a victim of a murder-suicide earlier this year and Podaras was never able to tell her friend of her successes or that she was integral to where Podaras is today. “I had no idea this high school sweetheart was in trouble,” she said about Howell. “I could not change what happened, but I can do better,” Podaras said. Podaras had succeeded Howell in one job, and the two had trained and worked together at the Washington Navy Yard. Podaras said she regretted she wasn’t able to prevent her friend’s death, especially since Howell had helped her during a low point in her own life. Podaras has gone on to become Mrs. Petworth D.C.

Ann Podaras, the keynote speaker at Army Community Service's Chat & Chew, speaks about the issues of domestic violence at the ACS lunch event. America 2017. In that role, Howell’s death has influenced Podaras’ platform, which is to help military mothers and speak about domestic violence awareness and prevention and communication. Podaras said her experience with Howell’s death taught her how important it is to talk to one another. “Please talk and share. You never know who’s next to you,” Podaras said. If you need help, FAP is the first place to turn to, said Shadae Stringfield, Family Advocacy Program specialist. “It’s good to always be mindful of what’s going on around you,” Stringfield said, adding that looking for signs of a person acting outside of their norm could point to an issue, be it depression or relationship troubles. “Just checking in is definitely essential,” Stringfield said. FAP has a 24-hour hotline that people can call, if they need help, 703-229-2374. People can also call family advocacy, 703-805-2693; or ACS front desk, 703-805-4590.

Judges join the U.S. Army’s Court of Criminal Appeals
By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer Two judges joined the Army’s Court of Criminal Appeals, Friday, at U.S. Army Legal Services Agency on Belvoir. Lt. Gen. Flora D. Darpino, judge advocate general, selected the judges, who were sworn in during the investiture ceremony. “The three who sit here now … have the judgment, independent thought, rigor and academic performance to make sure justice is done,” Darpino said. She swore in Brig. Gen. Stuart W. Risch, chief judge and USALSA commander, who then swore in Brig. Gens. Marilyn S. Chiafullo and Anthony T. Febbo.

During the ceremony, each person put on judicial robes, signifying their new appointments to the U.S. Army Court of Criminal Appeals. They then took the Judicial Oath of Office, with help from their families. The investiture ceremony was significant for all involved and another milestone in their career, Risch said. For Chiafullo, it was an especially big day because she was recently promoted, Risch said. She brings with her an upbeat, positive attitude and can-do personality that will be useful on the court. Chiafullo’s previous assignment was as Chief of Staff, U.S. Army Legal Command.
Risch served with Febbo before at Fort Hood, Texas, and described the new judge as someone who paid significant attention to detail. Risch said it was great to have him on the court and that he admired Febbo’s mentorship and their long friendship. Febbo’s previous assignment was as Staff Judge Advocate, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, Fort Shafter, Hawaii. The wearing of the robe was adopted because it symbolizes the officer’s acceptance of the ethical responsibility to exercise judicial judgment and discretion, independent of supervisory or command authority, according to USALSA.

Drug take-back programs protect our waterways Belvoir participates Saturday By Pamela Couch and Courtney Lipski DPW Environmental & Natural Resources Division If 100,000 of us take a small bottle full of unused medicines (approximately, 100 200-mg tablets), to a safe take-back location, we will keep almost 4,500 pounds of questionable chemicals out of our waterways each year. Prescription take-back programs help prevent our children and pets from accidentally eating un-used or expired medicines, and protect our waterways and the many living creatures that live in and around them. While we may have heard in the past that flushing medicines down the toilet is an acceptable way to dispose of un-used or expired medication, recent studies indicate that prescription medicines are showing up in local waterways. Flushing medicines down the toilet is no
longer a safe, eco-friendly way to dispose of unused medicines. While water from your toilet does go to a sewage treatment plant and is treated before being released into the local waterways, like Pohick Creek on Belvoir, the treatment process does not remove medicines, because the technology that targets specific chemicals found in medicines is not available. Fish and other creatures are exposed to trace amounts of pharmaceuticals in combinations that don’t exist in nature, such as hormones from birth control pills and Viagra, Prozac and other anti-depressants and antibiotics. Some chemicals found in medication disrupt reproduction, development and behavior of fish and other creatures found in waterways. Additionally, traces of these and other medicines may be found in water supplies, ending up in our local waterways and, maybe, even in drinking water.
Please do your part to keep our children and pets safe, and protect the environment, by participating in National Prescription Take Back Day. At Belvoir, people can drop off expired medication(s) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Main Exchange, 8651 John J. Kingman Road, Bldg. 2321 on Saturday. There will be uniformed law enforcement officers in charge of the drop box, which will be outside of
the Exchange’s main entrance. For information about National Prescription Take Back Day, call James A. Peters, 703-805-1010. Being a nationwide campaign, people who have medicines to get rid of, but won’t be on Belvoir, can find a drop location near them in a search on www.dea.gov. Information on how medicines affect waterways is available from http://extension.psu.edu/

DLA ensures flu vaccines ready for Service members By Emily Tsambiras DLA Distribution Public Affairs For the 10th year in a row, Defense Logistics Agency Distribution is ensuring the storage and distribution of the seasonal influenza vaccine to military all over the globe. So far this year, more than 3.5 million doses have been purchased by DLA Troop Support for distribution to the warfighter, and nearly 2.5 million of those doses have been received at DLA Distribution Susquehanna, Pa. Vaccines began arriving at the distribution center in August, but planning occurred earlier in the year. First, the product team had to perform product overviews, review policies and examine the ordering and shipping process to ensure a successful process. Shipped direct from the vendor, vaccines go directly into the DLA Distribution Susquehanna’s cold chain storage upon arrival to await requisi-
tion. At the end of September, nearly 50 percent of the distribution center’s stock had been specially packaged and shipped to customers around the globe. “It’s not as simple as placing these items in a box and shipping them off,” said Domon Barr, seasonal influenza vaccine project coordinator. “There are protocols that we must follow -- to include using insulated containers and monitoring the package temperature -- to ensure the vaccines are never compromised.” Barr predicts most of the vaccines will be issued out to DoD members by November, ensuring the health of active-duty military, retired military and their family members; plus Defense Department civilians. “These are the folks that are on the front lines, defending our borders, and executing critical missions for the safety of the United States. It’s our job to ensure that influenza is not a threat to their health,” said Barr.
WE’VE GOT YOUR SIX!
On Fort Belvoir
Fort Belvoir Community Hospital has the flu shot available, for eligible beneficiaries, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., weekdays, on the third floor of Sunrise Pavilion. This year, the Defense Department is not offering the FluMist. Therefore, all patients getting their vaccinations at FBCH will get the shot. Flu shot updates are available from the hospital’s Flu Clinic Hotline, 571-231-7777.

STEAM Day offers hands-on projects to students By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer
BELVO RT
IR
FO
Fort Belvoir Elementary School campus hosted its annual STEAM Day Saturday, for students and their families. The event included hands-on activities to get kids interested in science. STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) Day started with a magic and science performance by Joe Romano, an illusionist, who showcased ways to use science to create tricks. Afterward, the families went to various stations around the school. Sarah Hall, an elementary education major at Marymount University, was one of the college students who volunteers at the STEAM Day. “I think the importance is just to show them that they can do what they set their minds to,” she said about the students. Last year, she came to Belvoir and worked with fourth- and fifth-grade girls on science activities. She wanted to encourage girls to pursue STEM, or Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. “Women can be scientists, and they can do whatever they set their minds to. It’s not just men’s work,” she said. Monique Chetcuti, an Army Reservist and military spouse, and her family are new to Belvoir, so they came to check out the school. Her husband and father-in-law are engineers who value math and science and they want the kids to incorporate it into their lives. “I think math and science are probably the most daunting subjects that you’ll get in school,” Chetcuti said. “Early exposure to it will help them ease into it as they get older, when it gets a lot more complicated. Plus, it builds interest in them, so they want to do it when they get older.”

Fort Belvoir schools get STEAM grant Fort Belvoir schools received a $1.25 million grant from the Department of Defense Education Activity that will fund Operation Patriotic STEAM III. The program focuses on developing student’s math, science, critical thinking, and reasoning skills; and includes support activities such as a math consultant, extracurricular activities and technology and science lab equipment. Kara Fahy, STEAM resource teacher, said Fort Belvoir Elementary School and Fort Belvoir Upper School each have STEAM labs. STEAM adds Art into the STEM subjects: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. “We’ll get to see all students in, throughout the year. We do great, hands-on lessons that tie in with STEAM. We bring in the engineer and design process and focus on the scientific method, as well,” Fahy told parents during the school’s recent STEAM Day. The grants provide students the STEAM resources they need to learn. The students will be able to sign up for activities after school, like botany or robotics, she said. This is the third grant Fort Belvoir Elementary School has received.

Several years ago, I discussed the fascinating things I’ve often overheard from youth athletes while they’re sitting in the dugout or on the bench during games. And, perhaps the most standout realization I made, was how kids tend to perceive the world around them, especially the creepy parts of it. To hear young people tell it, dreadful events are possible at virtually every turn and most of them have heard or read of some unfortunate kid (usually in a little town, “somewhere out west, I think,”) who’s been “messed up for life” because something awful and unexpected befell him — while, as it happens, he was engaged in sports one day. For example, something like a gnat flying up the outfielder’s nose can trigger some seriously awful prognostications from his teammates. “Did you smoosh around on your nose to kill it?” a concerned observer asked. “I mean, there was this guy who had a bug fly up his nose and it got inside his head and starting eating his brain. Nobody knew what was going on until he started acting weird in school and now he’s in an asylum.” Even a scraped knee can create a national disaster. “They’ll definitely put you in intensive care tonight; maybe for a week,” the victim invariably hears. “And they put all those tubes down your throat and sometimes they give you a spinal tap.” Well, just the other day, I eavesdropped on a discussion between several young athletes who were sure the honey bee that’d just stung one of them was one of those Africanized killers that had recently wiped out a whole village in Europe and was now here to continue its deadly mission. (“Probably came over in some lady’s purse.”) “At least you didn’t swallow it,” said one of them. “I heard about a kid who had a bee fly down his throat and, in a little while, it had babies and one night … ” While these discussions are entertaining fringe benefits of being a sports editor, some of them (like the gnat-brain thing) have still cost me more sleep than I’d care to admit.

DTRA takes cross country title By Rick Musselman Sports editor Defense Threat Reduction Agency once again demonstrated its legendary unit cohesion and competitive resolve when it defeated U.S. Army Legal Services Agency for its second consecutive intramural cross country title, Oct. 11 at the Fort Belvoir Golf Club. The victory also earned the unit enough points to tie the powerhouse Defense Logistics Agency for a third-place finish in the overall Commander’s Cup race. Matt Worstell and John Andrews led DTRA’s drive to the winner’s circle by turning in respective first- and second-place finishes in the men’s junior vet division, with times of 20:17 and 22:41. Mary Susserman fortified the team’s effort by claiming the runner-up distinction in the women’s open division, with a time of 25:19. Still, USALSA kept the pressure on throughout the race and made sure DTRA’s victory was anything but a cake walk. Elinor Kim and Natalie Karelis swept the women’s junior vet division, with respective times of 23:01 and 29:05, and teammates, Patrick Gordon and Adam Hill earned the first- and second-place titles, respectively, in the men’s senior division, wrapping up the race with times of 21:24 and 21:33. Fort Belvoir Community Hospital also competed in characteristic form. Jess Thietten earned first place in the men’s open division, with a time of 20:00; and teammate, Nicole Cherney, took first-place honors in the women’s open division, with a time of 23:56. In the men’s open division, DLA’s Alexandro Cano secured runner-up honors, turning in a time of 20:02, and teammates, Beofra Butler and Julie Debruler, dominated the women’s senior division, earning respective first- and second-place distinctions with times of 23:15 and 25:56.

Marathon runner gets her start in 5K run at health fair Adele Uphaus-Conner Staff Writer
“I’ve always exercised my whole life but I never thought I could be a runner,” said Mary Jo Betyak-Eisler, supervisor of the Community Counseling Program aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico. But in the last two years, this “nonrunner” has completed two Marine Corps Turkey Trot 10Ks, two Historic Half Marathons, two Marine Corps 17.75Ks and one Marine Corps Marathon. She is registered for this year’s Mmarathon as well. And she has trained for all the events on a treadmill in her house. “Not bad for a 46-year-old mom of fourand eight-year-old boys,” Betyak-Eisler said. “I’m in better shape now than I was in my 20s.” Her journey from non-runner to runner started just two years ago at the 2014 Semper Fit Health Fair aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, where she completed her first 5K race with some of her Behavioral Health co-workers. “I found that I just really liked it,” she said of that first run. “I had just bought the treadmill for my house and I started looking around to see what else I could do.” She signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon Turkey Trot in November and then registered with her co-workers for the Historic Half Marathon the following May. Having never run anything close to the 13.1-mile half marathon distance, she thought she would sign up for a longer race to see whether she’d be able to finish.

Mary Jo Betyak-Eisler, supervisor of the Community Counseling Program aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, gets a high-five from former MCBQ Sgt. Maj. Gerald Saunders after completing the 2015 Marine Corps Half Marathon in October 2015.
So she registered for the Marine Corps 17.75K (11.03 mile) race, which is held in March. “I showed up for the event and was standing around with the other runners and found out that most of them were there because they’d get guaranteed entry into the Marine Corps Marathon in the fall,” Betyak-Eisler said. “I didn’t even know that. I was just doing it to practice for the half.” She finished the 17.75K and went home with a ticket to the 2015 annual Marine Corps Marathon in October. “I’d always thought, ‘I never want to
do a marathon—that’s crazy!’” she continued. “But now I had the ticket in my hand. I told my husband ‘I think maybe I can do it’ and he said, ‘Of course you can! You have to register.’” So she did, and she finished the marathon with a time of 4:39:41. The only time she walked was through the water stations along the route and for a few minutes up the hill that precedes the finish line. “I loved it,” Betyak-Eisler said. “It was the best experience. The Marine Corps does a great job running the event and the crowd support is amazing.” She said that life got stressful for her in
the months leading up to the marathon— her father was ill (he passed away shortly after) and work was tense—but she thinks these difficulties increased her motivation to finish the race. Betyak-Eisler completed her second 17.75K and Historic Half this spring and is registered for the 41st Marine Corps Marathon in Oct. 30. But she says she probably won’t run another marathon and that there are no ultra marathons in her future. “People say, ‘Never say never,’ but I think this year is going to be it,” she said. Still, running is now a part of her life. Four days a week, she gets up early, before her kids wake up, to run on her treadmill. She does a different kind of exercise for cross-training twice a week and takes Sundays off. She relishes the sense of accomplishment she gets from finishing racing events and said the adrenaline and endorphins from running help her stay focused at work and at home. “I can feel a difference in my body when I don’t run,” she said. Betyak-Eisler’s advice to all prospective runners—women especially—is “don’t assume you can’t do it.” “I never did it before because I never thought I could,” she said. “But obviously, I can. Just try. Ask for advice. Set goals for yourself, even if they are small, and when you accomplish one, set another one.” “And if you don’t like it, try something else,” she continued. “Find some kind of exercise that fits you.” Writer: auphausconner@quanticosentryonline.com.

FOUNDATION?
One simple word can be used to describe Will Brown and Al Richmond, who have run the Marine Corps Marathon every year since its inception 40 years ago – groundpounders. This is the moniker given these two retired Marines (and other runners), who keep coming back to the start line in Arlington year after year to essentially pound the pavement for 26.2 miles through the streets of downtown D.C.
This year’s marathon will take place Oct. 30, and Brown and Richmond will be there at the starting line, along with approximately 30,000 other runners, all hoping to finish the grueling event. What does it mean to be a groundpounder? “I guess that pride is the primary meaning – pride that I am a member of such a select group, and pride that I have been able to run it for such a long time, despite the increasing years and diminishing

Special Pullout Section physical ability,” Richmond said. Richmond will be age 77 when he runs his 41st Marine Corps Marathon Oct. 30. “I have run in all these marathons because it kind of got to be a habit after the first 10 or 15. I didn’t want to break the streak,” said Brown. Both said that running the marathon each year is, of course, a challenge. The hardest part of the race being the halfway mark for Brown and the last six or seven miles for Richmond – the race also ends in an uphill battle to the finish line. “At mile 13 you realize that you still have a long way to go,” said Brown of the event. “Making it through the last six to seven miles [is the hardest part],” said Richmond. “By that time, your energy is pretty much depleted and you have to dig deep to keep on going. Every muscle seems to hurt and be fatigued, and you just want the thing to be over,” Richmond said. For some reason, though, the duo keeps on going and going. Neither one of them have kept their running to just one race. Both have run in other marathons (Richmond has run the Boston Marathon, the Baltimore Marathon and at least one other marathon where he lives in North Carolina.) Brown, on the other hand has participated in five other marathons as well as 30 or 40 ultra marathons (50 miles) and five 100-milers. “Marathons are much harder than the longer ones,” Brown said. Every runner has one particularly memorable marathon that stands out in their minds. For Brown it was the event held
3
in 2001 after the 9/11 terrorist attacks He remembers running past the rubble of the Pentagon and everyone stopping to bow their heads in remembrance of all those killed, the first responders and family members of the victims. “You could still smell the jet fuel,” said Brown. For Richmond, the 1990 Marine Corps Marathon sticks out in his mind, as it was the year that he was mugged in New Orleans and shot three times. “The remainder of the summer was a series of major operations and recovery. I was registered for the MCM but the operations had taken so much out of me that I gave up trying to train for it. One week before the MCM on Saturday there was an article in the paper about a Marine who was bragging that he was the only Marine to have run all of the previous MCMs. My wife said, ‘Well, you’ve run every one’ and she challenged me to run the following Sunday. So, with three 3-mile and one 6-mile training runs I ran the MCM. Crossing the finish line was an unbelievable emotional experience – ever seen a grown man cry? I realized and said to myself –‘I’m back.’’’ Both runners look forward to crossing the finish line for the 41st time, but the finish line holds a special place in Brown’s heart, but not because it signals the end of the marathon. “I am a descendant of an Iwo Jima Marine who was injured during battle. It is a real pleasure and honor to arrive at the Marine Corps War Memorial (depicting the flag raising at Iwo Jima) at the end. It holds a special place in my heart.”

But, DTRA turned in solid enough times across the race brackets to win the cross-country title and remain in contention for a topthree finish in the Cup race. FBCH athletes stayed focused, despite the heavy competition and the unit’s pre-race point advantage, combined with Jess Thietten’s 20:00 first-place, cross-country finish in the men’s open division and Nicole Cherney’s 23:56 first-place result in the women’s open division, helped propel FBCH into the Commander’s Cup winner’s circle, with room to spare. Justin Fitzgerald, Fort Belvoir intramural program assistant coordinator, announced the event winners and officially proclaimed FBCH the overall Cup champion. Col. Angie Holbrook, U.S. Army Garrison Fort

Woodlawn Red bests Belvoir Team 5 in Major Division play By Bill Behring Special to the Belvoir Eagle Last Wednesday, Woodlawn Red hosted Belvoir at the 21st Street Complex. Belvoir was playing as the visiting team, as Woodlawn’s complex is under renovation. In the first inning, Belvoir went three up, three down. Woodlawn then came to bat and loaded the bases on two errors and a walk. The fourth batter, Heyden Molden, smashed a triple, clearing the bags, and ulti-
mately scored on a wild pitch, yielding a 4-0 lead. In the top of the second for Belvoir, Collin Steiner drew a walk and ultimately scored as Maxwell Falk made it on with an error. In Woodlawn’s second, it was their turn to go three up, three down. In the top of the third, pitcher, Yahance Campbell, in relief of Ibby Ussein, set Belvoir down quickly, giving up two walks but blowing the ball past three for called third strikes. In Woodlawn’s third, Ussein
grounded to first. Charlie Kribs and Tim Turner then followed with backto-back singles to left and Molden was on with a walk to load the bases. But, Belvoir starter, Marcel Picard, got two quick outs to end the inning. In Belvoir’s fourth, Ezra Andres led off with a single to left and Jayden Rios followed suit with single to right. Both scored before three outs ensued. Woodlawn plated four runs in their fourth. Michael Connors led off with a base on balls, Ussein singled, and, with back-to-back
triples by Charlie Kribs and Turner, Woodlawn took an 8-3 lead. The top of the fifth was Belvoir’s last hope. Roland Matthews was on with a walk, but three strikeouts followed, ending the game. On Thursday, in Minor-Division play, Woodlawn edged Belvoir Team Two 8-7, despite the fact Woodlawn received only one hit. Power for the Red Birds came from Gavin Yomes, belting two hits. Registration for the spring Little League season begins Dec. 5.

Fort Belvoir honors Hispanic Heritage By Adrienne Anderson Staff writer In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, the Fort Belvoir Equal Opportunity Office hosted an observance Oct. 13, at the Fort Belvoir Community Center. The event featured music by Mariachi Los Mensajeros Del Sur and a cultural performance by Grupo Folklorico de Panama from Washington, D.C. "Our diversity is what makes us super strong. That's why we're a world power — because of the di-

versity that we have in our culture,” said Col. Angie Holbrook, U.S. Army Garrison Fort Belvoir commander. “I love that, every month, we celebrate different cultures and bring it all together." The guest speaker was Susana Castillo, the D.C. Mayor’s Office of Communication, deputy press secretary. She is also the Latino liaison at the mayor’s office. Castillo spoke about her Colombian background where she grew up in a military family. Her father was an army officer. “This country has given me so

much … I’m so grateful to be here,” Castillo said, adding she was thankful for the service military provide and has great respect for military Service members. As someone coming from a military family, she said she understands what military families go through. In the U.S., people with a Hispanic background make up 17 percent of the Army, compared to the 1980s, when they made up only 3 percent, Castillo said. Hispanics are also the fastest growing minority group in the U.S. Through volunteering, she works with at-risk Latino youth and those who crossed the border. She encourages them to aim high and go after their goals. While working with the children, Castillo said realized how important it was for them to have mentors. “You realize how much of an impact you can make on the kids’ lives,” she said. Many of the youth she worked with wanted to come to the U.S. because they came from broken
families or an area where they would rather risk entering the U.S., than stay where they originally were. “One thing that I saw when I was (volunteering), people would only stay there for a year. But, what about the youth? The youth get very attached to you. That’s another stress for them,” Castillo said. The adults who became part of the children’s lives offered them the stability they’d never had, she said. When asked about what others can do for at-risk youth, she said offering more community programs where they could learn English and basic skills would help. The theme for this year’s observance was: “Honoring our heritage. Building our future.” Hispanic Heritage is observed to recognize the diversity and contributions of Hispanic-Americans in the U.S. The month celebrates those with ancestors from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America and South America.
