Fire Department’s Peer Support Belvoir Warrior Transition Brigade Soldier canWarrior help brethren flourishesTeam at DoD Games By Margaret Steele Belvoir Eagle

even years ago, Fort Belvoir’s Fire Department suffered a terrible loss, when one of their own, Michael Deal, took his own life. “No one saw it coming. We were all shocked,” said Jonathan Lang, Fort Belvoir Fire and Emergency Services. However, Lang said Deal’s suicide made him want to change the way the firefighter community deals with -- and recovers from -- parts of their jobs that bring added stress. “First responders, dispatchers, correctional officers, firefighters, fire inspectors, Soldiers; anyone who puts on a uniform of service often sees a lot of trauma,” Lang said. “We see some tough stuff. Many of us are adrenaline junkies and find the jobs very rewarding. But, failure on the job is soul-crushing.” Lang said the first-responder community also often has higher rates of U.S Army photo by PFC Dominique Dixon

 

Mold discovered during move-in  Move-in inspection must disclose whether there is any visible evidence of mold. If mold is discovered as part of the move-in inspection, the tenant can reject premises or accept premises and require landlord to remediate. The landlord must re-inspect within five days of remediation.

Mold discovered during tenancy  Tenant is required to keep premises in such a condition as to prevent accumulation of moisture and growth of mold, and immediately report visible mold to landlord. If tenant fails in these duties, the landlord has no obligation to pay for remediation and relocation.  The landlord has a duty to keep the premises in such a condition as to prevent accumulation of moisture and growth of mold, and to promptly respond to any notices from a tenant about mold discovery. Where there is visible evidence of mold, the landlord shall promptly remediate the mold conditions and re-inspect the unit to confirm that there is no longer visible evidence of mold in the unit. The landlord must give the tenant a copy of a summary of information related to mold remediation, and, upon tenant request, must make available the full package of information and reports not protected by attorney-client privilege. Landlords are not required to disclose past mold incidents.  Landlord to remediate  Landlord can require tenant to vacate during remediation, and is given reasonable

Head, Hand and Heart of Women’s Health Military Health System hile healthy living is essential to all military and civilians, there are some health concerns that affect women differently than men, sometimes with more lifethreatening consequences. October—Women’s Health Month—provides a platform to educate women on issues that affect their day-to-day lives.

lette Cazares, associate director for mental health at the Naval Medical Center San Diego, urge women to view depression the same way they view other serious illnesses that require treatment. “(This) allows Service members to realize the necessity of early treatment, and the ability to stay focused on career and personal goals,” Cazares said.

in men and women, women are estimated to be diagnosed nearly 100 times more often than men. Changes in the breast region like persistent pain, lumps, dimpling, irritation, and expelling of abnormal discharge are all symptoms of breast cancer. Factors like family history cannot be changed in preventing breast cancer, but keeping fit via diet and exercise can. Women are advised to avoid unhealthy behaviors like excessive alcohol or cigarette use. Breast cancer screening is also a healthy tool to keep track of breast health and detect symptoms early.

Safety Office urges caution, vigilance on Halloween By Rick Musselman Belvoir Eagle f you’re planning to celebrate Halloween, the Fort Belvoir Safety Office recommends revelers keep safety first. According to a Safety Office press release, Halloween is a highly anticipated holiday for kids and adults. Recently, Halloween has been growing in popularity among adults; and nearly one in three adults will attend a Halloween party this year. Whether attending a party or going trick-or-treating with the kids, don’t forget to think about safety.

Be seen “The first concern is to make sure your costume’s safe,” said John Nicklas, safety specialist, Fort Belvoir Safety Office. “If you’re wearing all black and you’re out trick-or-treating, you want to make sure you have some kind of reflective material when you’re out. You also want to make sure your costume isn’t a trip hazard. If you think there’s going to be some issues, think about teaming up with a couple of friends who can keep an eye on you. Sometimes people get really creative with their costumes.”

Trick-or-Treating with the kids If you are the designated adult “candy dispenser” on Halloween night, turn on all porch and exterior house lights, so visitors don’t trip on landings or sidewalks. Map out a safe neighborhood route for your children to follow; it’s even a good idea to walk it ahead of time with your kids. Children younger than 10 should have an adult with them while trickor-treating, and all children should be warned not to ever go inside a home. All trick-or-treating should be done in full view of the porch.

Reinforce traffic safety rules with children, including looking both ways before crossing streets and following all traffic signs. In addition to wearing properly fitting costumes that are easy to see in the dark, ensure the fabrics are flame retardant. Be sure you have fully charged cell phones or walkie-talkies, in case of an emergency, and test out the ring tone before the kids leave the house. Additionally, masks can impair vision; consider using face paint instead.

For the party crowd Adults and parties go hand-in-hand around Halloween and Belvoir has some recommendations for those older revelers as well. “Halloween is the number-one holiday for drinking and driving now, even over New Year’s,” Nicklas said. “If you’re going to partake in the parties, make sure you have a designated driver—don’t drink and drive. And, be on the lookout for people who might drink and drive.” The Safety Office also recommends that people who plan to drink at a party ensure a cab or driver service will be available, if a designated driver is not. If you’re at a friend’s home, consider asking to stay the night or look into hotel accommodations within walking distance of the party. In addition to staying sober, exercise extreme caution when driving. If possible, avoid cutting through residential areas where trick-or-treaters are. If providing directions to a party, try not to route guests through residential areas unnecessarily. Watch for children in the street and be on the alert for youngsters, whose vision might be obscured by masks, darting out into traffic. Trickor-treating children may not pay attention to traffic and might cross midblock or from between parked cars. And, always obey the speed limit when driving through residential areas. For more information call the Fort Belvoir Safety Office at 703-806-3447 or email usarmy.belvoir.imcom.list.isosafety@mail.mil.

BATTY

TIME TO GET

By DPW-Environmental

ith Halloween around the corner, bat decorations are starting to pop up everywhere. But, how much do you know about the real animal behind all those cartoon creatures? For example, many people know that bats eat bugs. But do you know that one bat can eat up to 3,000 insects in a night? That’s great news, especially for farmers, as some of the insects bats eat threaten economically important crops. Bats are also pollinators and spread pollen that gets on their fur when they feed on nectar. Bats are also so effective at dispersing plant seeds in destroyed forestlands; they’ve been called the “farmers of the tropics.”

Bats are in trouble Virginia has 16 native bat species, three of which are endangered. Although some people think they’re scary, bats are really important for the environment and are facing serious dangers. Bats in forested areas are running out of places to live, due to deforestation. Similarly, bats that live in caves and abandoned mines are being driven out to mine their guano (droppings) for fertilizers. There is also a devastating disease called White Nose Syndrome that is spreading through bat colonies across North America. Once infected by the disease, most bats die. When colonies are hit by any of these threats, it is very hard for it to recover, because female bats typically only have one pup a year.

Bat facts

What you can do?

So many people are scared of bats, because they think they get tangled in your hair, are blood suckers or all carry rabies.  Bats are very intelligent and are agile fliers. If they can find a tiny insect in a dark night sky, they can tell where your hair is.  There are only three vampire bat species in the world and all live in Latin America. These bats are more of a livestock nuisance than a threat to humans.  Although bats can carry rabies, most bats are not infected. However, it’s still important to leave all wildlife alone, just in case. Remember, any wildlife you encounter is more afraid of you than you are it!

Helping bats at home is easy. Here are some ideas:  Be a bat ambassador – share what you know about bats with everyone. If someone thinks bats are scary, try telling them about all the great things bats do for us and the environment.  Avoid disturbing bats – stay out of any caves or tree crevices, especially in the winter, where bats may be hibernating. If bats are awakened from hibernation, they likely won’t make it through the winter.  Reduce pesticide use – fewer bugs around for bats to eat means fewer bats. Feed a hungry bat by minimizing the use of pesticides in your lawn and garden.

Total Force Kitchen: Soldier readiness includes healthy cooking By Paul Lara Belvoir Eagle

Fish en papillote is one of the meals couples learn to cook in Total Force Kitchen, a USO 6-week course.

SO-Metro brought military couples into the kitchen to learn important things about cooking, and about themselves. Total Force Kitchen is a comprehensive, 6-week program. Each week highlights a different set of culinary skills and techniques with chef demonstrations and hands-on practice. Ashy Palliparambil, USO Senior Manager of resiliency programs, says the program goes well beyond cooking. “It’s based on the military’s To-

We’re not just looking at what you’re eating, or if you’re working out – we’re looking at sleep, reducing stress and eating healthy. We teach them the skills they need to cook healthy at home, including all the recipes and knife skills. It’s very hands-on,” said Palliparambil. Staff Sgt. Joshua Rice and his wife Ali are one of the couples participating in the fall class. Rice said up until now, he has been the cook in the family, but he had not pondered cooking as a mindful exercise. “I already cook, but learned some good cooking techniques such as how to more easily make a garlic paste by sprinkling Photos by Paul Lara salt on the chopped garlic and dragging Staff Sgt.
