In a matter of hours Eagle,

Alaska, was changed for-ever.

In early May 2009 it took themighty ice-packed Yukon Riverjust 48 hours to engulf the his-toric riverside village of Eagle.It devoured trees, homes andbusinesses, dramatically chang-ing the landscape.

It also changed lives.I grew up on the river and it

is hard when something takes

that away from you, said Ruth

Ridley, an Athabascan who wasborn and raised in Eagle.

I cried when I saw the old

village was gone, Ridley said.

I cried and cried, but Im

stronger now.Ridleys family, like many of

the 180 residents of Eagle, hascalled the Alaska village homefor generations.

Although it took only hoursfor the worst-ever recorded iceflooding to consume Eagle,help came just as fast.

The first person to arrive onscene to help with the disasterand begin the recovery effortwas Jerry Isaac, president andchairman of the Tanana ChiefsConference, a traditional tribalconsortium of the 42 villages of

Interior Alaska.Help also came pouring in

from all over the country in-cluding members of Fort

Greely.When Craig Odom,

contract performanceevaluator, heard the in-stallation was planning areutilization sale of ex-cess items he mentionedthe flooding victims to amember of the Director-

ate of Logistics.I was checking into the

opportunity to bid on

some of the excess furni-

ture, said Odom. Most

of it was in near new

condition. However, I

thought there may be a

chance to help others

who were less fortunate

it simply was the

right thing to do considering the

disaster situation.Odoms inspiration soon

turned to action.This provided the Fort

Greely Garrison an opportunityto distribute excess property,through the Armys Reutiliza-

tion and Marketing Office, and

furnish assistance to residentsof the flooded villages, said

Ann Rasmussen, property bookofficer for the Logistics Direc-torate. Any time you can help

people in a time of need it is agood thing.

W

hen you were first assigned toFort Greely and you attended a

Newcomers Briefing, you were familiar-

ized with the Interactive CustomerEvaluation Program, or ICE. This sys-tem is designed to allow Department ofDefense customers to rate services pro-vided. The system is web-based andgives our customers a way to interactwith the service providers to ensure wehear their voices.

To access the system, just go to thenearest computer and type in: http://ice.disa.mil. Just follow the prompts fromthere and select the appropriate branch,

community, service category, and, fi-nally, service provider. Input your infor-mation and then submit it. You shouldreceive a response in no more than 72hours. The response can only be receivedif you become Interactiveand provideyour follow-up information which is cur-rently optional.

Special emphasis must be on the wordInteractive. According to diction-ary.com, Interactiveis defined as,

interacting with a human user, often in a

conversational way, to obtain

immediate results or updated informa-tion. ICEis based on an ability to re-

spond to our customers. Even if you pro-vide a less-than-complimentary Com-ment Card, the service provider wouldlike to respond to you. There could bereasons that the service was less than youdesire. If you allow an Interactivere-sponse, you may understand how thesituation could be fixed and possibly howyou could assist or could have assisted inmaking the service better.

Remember, ICEis to allow customersto rate services. The system should not beused for personal attacks or to addressissues that are not appropriate to the ser-vice provider. And not everything can

be fixed immediately; change often takestime. However, nothing can be fixed if

the service provider doesnt know about

it. Let them hear honest and appropriatefeedback about their services.

So you might ask -- if it is so importantto remain Interactive,then why am Ieven being given that option. The follow-ing is from the Frequently Asked Ques-tions on the ICEwebsite:

Why does ICE allow anonymous

comment card submissions?The designers of ICE decided to acceptanonymous submissions primarily to pro-

tect customers from retribution or fear ofretribution. A customer who is afraid he/she will receive backlash for negativefeedback may hesitate to submit a com-ment. In this way, ICE is no differentfrom paper comment cards or suggestionboxes. Customers utilizing those methodsof giving feedback may do so anony-mously as well. Also, even if ICE statedthat contact information was required tosubmit a comment; customers could workaround that restriction by entering falsecontact information in order to providefeedback.

This is an appropriate method to allowpeople to submit information; however,we at Fort Greely are committed to mak-ing sure we hear our customers and

respond to their concerns. Please assist usby adding your contact information to theComment Cards so we can provide aproper follow-up. If you have any ques-tions or concerns, please contact thePlans, Analysis and Integration Office at873-7346.

Dont forget the Interactive in ICE

by Colleen PughFort Greely Safety Office

W inter is just around the corner.That means snow and ice.Most people are aware to be cau-

tious when driving but sometimesforget the same caution should beapplied to walking.

TipsAvoid walking in shoes that have

smooth surfaces, which increase therisk of slipping.Walk consciously. Be alert that

you could quickly slip on an unseenpatch of ice.Your arms help keep you bal-

anced, so keep your hands out ofyour pockets.

Take small steps. Look to seeahead of where you step. When youstep on icy areas, take short, shuf-fling steps.Wear footwear designed for win-

ter weather and consider purchasingice/snow traction cleats. The icecleats fit over shoes or boots andcome in all sizes.Remove snow immediately before

it becomes packed or turns to ice.Keep your porch stoops, steps, walksand driveways free of ice.When you enter a building, there

may be snow stuck on your bootswhich may become slippery. Stompoff all of the snow from your shoeson the carpet or mat when you firstenter the building. There should berubber mats or carpets in everybuilding as you enter.

The leader of the Fort Greely Garrisonagreed.

Alaska is the largest state in the nation

but in terms of helping out your neighbor itis just like a small town, said Lt. Col.

Chris Chronis, Fort Greely Garrison Com-mander. We wanted to be good

neighbors and do the right thing.Members of the Fort Greely LogisticsDirectorate worked closely with theTanana Chiefs Conference to ensure thedonated items would reach villages af-fected by the flooding.

Fort Greely employees really stepped

up to the plate to help the flooded vil-lages, said Chronis. Our Director of

Logistics figured out a way to donate ap-proximately 50 sets of furniture and appli-ances slated for re-sale, to the flood vic-tims.

The Tanana Chiefs Conference could

not be more pleased with the furniture do-nated by Fort Greely, said Ted Charles,

Chief Administrative Officer for theTanana Chiefs Conference. Many fami-

lies were devastated by the 2009 springflood. This furniture is a great comfort tothose trying to get back home before win-ter.

In September with the re-building proc-

ess in full swing in Eagle, a 40-foot trailer

filled with the furniture from Fort Greely

arrived.

It was very exciting for residents who

had lost everything to the Yukon flood tocome and pick up their new items din-

ing tables, chairs, couches, dressers, night-

stands and beds, said Stacey Pare, Infor-

mation, Donations and Fund Raising Coor-

dinator in Eagle.

We witnessed many smiles, thanks and

even a few tears, said Pare, who serves on

the city council and also lost her home to

the flood. We would like to thank Fort

Greely, Tanana Chiefs Conference, Inte-

rior Regional Housing Authority, Brice,

Inc., and the Northern Alaska DisasterRecovery Services for making the dona-

tions possible.Joanne MacDonald, an Athabascan from

Eagle, was one of the first residents to ar-rive to pick out furniture for her home thatwas being rebuilt.

MacDonald said she and her three chil-dren had just moved into a log cabin in theold village last fall.

The river ice came up so fast we left

everything behind and we lost everything,

MacDonald said. The furniture is a God-

send.The flood affected more than just struc-

tures.

I was supposed to get married in Ea-gles St. Johns Episcopal Church, said

MacDonald. But, it was destroyed in the

ice flood the only items that survived

were the church bell and baptismal.

Although Eagle was the hardest hit, FortGreely furniture and appliances were alsosent to Stevens Village, Circle, Fort Yukonand Tanana, according to Charlisa Attla,Director of Special Projects for the TananaChiefs Conference.

Hundreds of volunteers and donationslike the items from Fort Greely have

poured into Interior Alaska villages frombusinesses across the country.Rob Paire, Volunteer Coordinator for

Light Shine Ministries in Lancaster, Pa.,was one of the first to arrive in Eagle tohelp with volunteers, donations and therecovery effort.

We have had so many volunteers come

in groups and as individuals, said Paire.

In addition to volunteers from Mennonite

Disaster Service and Samaritan's Purse,230 volunteers from all over the United

States and abroad came to help Eagle re-build.

The Federal Emergency ManagementAgency approved the funding of 13 new

homes in Eagle. Volunteers recently com-pleted the homes. Many are furnishedwith donated items from Fort Greely.

While Mennonite Disaster Services and

Samaritans Purse volunteers focused on

building the new homes to replace thosecompletely destroyed by the flood, othervolunteers have taken on the monumentaltask of debris removal and salvage opera-tions and making critical repairs to themany homes damaged by the flood, Pare

explained.We are so thankful to all the many folks

who have put their own lives on hold tocome to assist our community, said Pare.We are truly blessed by their pres-

ence. This has been a great experience forall of us, the residents of Eagle and thevolunteers.

Joanne MacDonald did get married, andalthough vows had to be exchanged inFairbanks; it is a sign that life in Eagle willreturn to normal trees will grow, busi-

nesses will re-build and houses will be-come homes again.

The furniture is a Godsend.-Joanne MacDonald-Eagle, Alaska

The Hometown News Holiday Greet-ings program is coming to FortGreely Oct. 11. The team will tape greet-ings from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the NorthHaven Communities Office, Unit 707B,1st Street.

The program gives Soldiers and Familymembers an opportunity to wish a happyholiday season to their loved ones back

home. Holiday greetings can be sent to all50 states as well as Puerto Rico, Guam andthe Virgin Islands. The program is open toactive duty, National Guard and Reservesand their families, and to Department ofDefense civilians.

When the team sets up at Fort Greely,there are just a few guidelines to follow toensure family and friends back home seeyour personal greeting on local television.Make sure to bring your address book.

You'll need family members names, city,

state and phone number. No street address

is needed this year, but station managersneed phone contact info to let familiesknow when your greeting will air.Service members need to be in uni-

form. Duty uniform is fine. Family mem-bers should accompany their sponsor. And,of course, dont forget the props: Santas

hats, banners and Christmas attire.In front of the camera: There arent a

lot of rules, but here are some tips to makethe experience go smoothly. The top three

- relax, relax and relax. So what if youllbe seen by a million TV viewers? Whenyoure taping its just you and the camera.Try to be cheerful and in the holiday

spirit. It doesnt show well on camera if

your teenage daughter looks like shed

rather be at the mall than wishing grandmahappy holidays.Try to keep hand gestures to a mini-

mum. When youre giving your greetings,

dont say Happy Thanksgiving. Mostgreetings will begin to air on ThanksgivingDay and will quickly become obsolete ifthat day has come and gone when yourgreeting airs.You dont need a teleprompter or a

script, but try writing down your mainpoints on a 3 x 5 card. Sometimes nervescan cause a bout of forgetfulness, so jotdown your family members names and

the points you want to get across. If you

have family in more than one area, you cando several greetings. Youve got 15 to 20

seconds per greeting, more than enoughtime to get in your holiday wishes to thoseclosest to you.

When the teams return to San Antonio inlate October, production will run 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. Video and audiogreetings are separated by state, and insome of the more populated states such as

California, Texas, Florida and New York,stations will receive the tapes or DVDsbased upon region. Stations will normallybegin running greetings on Thanksgiving,and continue through New Years Day.

Many greetings air multiple times duringthe holidays and usually on more than onestation. For more information, call FortGreely Public Affairs at 873-5023.(Information courtesy of the Joint Home-

town News Service)

When it comes to recycling, the goodnews is Fort Greely is doing more of itnow than ever and diverting tons of mate-rials from our landfill.

What seems to be the downside to theprogram is that a lot of unwanted trashalso gets deposited into the recycling

dumpsters. One of the biggest problemareas we have, are packing materials likestyrofoam and plastic that get placedback in the cardboard box and in turn,placed in the dumpster. While we wantand encourage the dumping of movingand shipping boxes, please take the timeto remove all miscellaneous packing ma-terials that should be placed in the mixedtrash dumpster. Please keep all house-

hold garbage out of the recycling binsand place in the correct receptacle. If weall take the time to sort properly, thisgreatly reduces the time spent removingthe extra trash once the materials make itto our baling facility. Thanks to all whomake the effort to reduce, reuse and recy-cle.

teen from the combined forcesof the 49th Missile DefenseBattalions Alpha Company

and HHB Company, and twoemployees from Soldier FamilyMorale Welfare and Recrea-tion.

Mi-chael Long, Private 1st ClassErnesto Ventura, and Sgt.Corey Nydam each scored onegoal for the Team Greely Inter-nationals.

This event was planned andcoordinated to assist and sup-port the Delta High School Co-Ed Soccer team. The effort willhelp with soccer equipment and

Kris Bailey; and her assistants,Lynn Carroll and Larry Bailey.

I appreciated the presence andperformance of 49th MissileDefense Battalion Commander,Lt. Col. Steven Carroll.

Our soccer event was a suc-cess. It brought our Communi-ties together in a spirit ofsportsmanship, cooperation,friendly competition, entertain-ment and camaraderie.

Though the Team Greely In-ternationals were not victoriouson the scoreboard, we walkedoff the field at the end of thegame with mutual respect andappreciation for each other.We represented our Armys

organization very well in thespirit of competition, made newfriends, and had loads of fun inthe process. In the end, thescore simply did not matter.
