Commentary by Lt. Col. Michael Manor

1st Space Operations Squadron commander

On 24 June, I’m sad to say my time at Schriever Air Force Base will come to close with the 1st Space Operations Squadron change of command ceremony. At that time, no less than 1,455 days will have passed since my first voyage through the North Gate in June of 2009, badging into and trying to figure out what the small glass cage portals were all about, and hoping I didn’t get the special at-tention of the Air Force’s finest security forces team donning automatic weapons. Time most definitely flies when you’re having fun.

Looking back, the base has seen a tremen-dous amount of change ranging from opening base housing to bringing in new missions and satellites to include Operational Responsive Space-1, Space-based Space Surveillance and Advanced Technology Risk Reduction we cur-rently fly in 1 SOPS. We’ve also had the privi-lege of acing two Air Force Space Command Inspector General inspections, scoring nu-merous awards that validated we are the best space operations wing in the known world, maybe even beyond, and we’ve received count-less other accolades, high fives and praise. In short, we’ve managed to not only bring it, but we’ve left no doubt.

In simple sports terminology, we’ve had a run of consecutive championship seasons. Each year has brought unique challenges, yet each challenge has afforded the oppor-tunity for our team to step up and find a way to win. In watching it all unfold during

four years, I’m convinced this success is not only attributed to the amazing people here at Schriever, but more specifically to an un-rivaled work ethic and willingness to work together. These old-school ideals of hard work and team work are demonstrated every single day in every conceivable place from our base fitness center, dining hall, janitorial services, personnel and financial experts to our fire department, security forces, communicators, space and network operators, and countless other base organizations. In every corner, in

every office, there are great people willing to do whatever it takes to ensure our team suc-ceeds. In doing so, there is a definite element of selflessness involved with these actions and putting the needs of the team ahead of our own. Although these selfless acts seem com-mon when serving our nation, they can seem uncommon when looking at mainstream society where the achievements, successes and accomplishments of the individual are often held above all. The irony of valuing the accomplishments of the individual over those of the team is the simple fact that our greatest wins in life are rarely achieved alone. In fact, I can’t think of a single, significant thing I’ve achieved in my life where I haven’t been part of a team or group or had help from at least one other person. Where is the joy of getting the big win if you can’t share it with your teammates?

We’ve had a lot to celebrate during the past four years, and those victories have been so much sweeter having accomplished them together, as one of the greatest teams in the Air Force. For this, I simply wanted to say thank you for the opportunity to be part of that team. And, while the tumbleweeds, stark prairie scenery and drives on Highway 94 will be forgettable, the uncommon effort and the selfless dedication of the team here at Schriever will stay with me forever. Please know I will be cheering for the team as you continue this unprecedented championship run. I’m certain future success is inevitable because no other team will work harder, do more to help their teammates or be more selfless.

Getting back on fitness wagonBy Staff Sgt. Julius Delos Reyes

50th Space Wing Public Affairs

Fitness is essential to healthy living.This mantra has been pounded into every service mem-

ber’s brain ever since they joined the military. Even before that, parents and teachers have taught their children or students the importance of being fit.

However as time went by, that lesson seemed to have been lost on the wayside as priorities change. Once people decide to go back to the fitness wagon, there are decisions and a lot of thinking they need to do.

“Fitness is the most important thing you could do for yourself,” said Seth Cannello, Schriver fitness and sports manager. “A lot of people say their job or their family is their No. 1 priority, but if you’re not fit or healthy, you can’t perform well at your job or provide for your family. To me, being fit and working out is almost like taking out an insurance policy.”

The following are nuggets people should consider when planning to be fit:

Have a goalJust like every program, individuals should begin with

mapping out a plan with a specific goal. Some people aim to pass their fitness test while others want muscular strength or aerobic endurance.

“When you start an exercise program, you need to have a goal,” Cannello said. “You should have short and long-range goals. You need to stick with your program because consistency is the key to success.”

According to Dr. J. Nadine Garcia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Minority Health, committing to physical fit-ness doesn’t mean running laps on a track, stepping onto a basketball court or even joining a gym. It doesn’t have to involved fancy equipment or expensive gear.

“It’s not difficult to put a program together; but it’s dif-ficult to execute the program,” Cannello said. “There are organizations and people on base that could help out; there is also information available online. You have to sit down and map out your plan. The people who have the best plans are the people who are the most fit.”

Supplements or no supplements?“Supplements are expensive,” Cannello said.Browsing through a dietary supplement website, one

could see that price for a month’s worth of protein powders,

pre-workout supplements or fat burners costs from $35 to more than $100.

“A lot of times, because supplements are not regulated like most food, a lot of them don’t work,” Cannello said. “In my opinion, if you eat properly, you don’t really need supplements.”

However, protein shakes may be helpful if the goal is to bulk up or an individual is burning a lot of calories.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, supplements should not replace the variety of foods that are important to a healthy diet.

“Basically, It’s all hard work,” Cannello said. “You just have to adjust your diet. But it’s very hard to do.”

Time“One of the things I see people do wrong is they read

things online or books that says you only need to work out three times a week for 30 minutes and that’s what they do,” Cannello said. “They only do the bare minimum. If you do that, all you’re doing is maintaining.”

Depending on your goal, individuals may need to work out 45 minutes to an hour five times a week or more, he said.

“Someone who wants to lose 30 pounds in six months is going to have to work out a lot harder than someone who just wants to pass their fitness test,” Cannello said. “It just depends on where they want to go.”

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention stated adults need at least two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week and muscle-strength-ening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups.

Individuals may perform one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity every week and mus-cle-strengthening activities two or more days a week. An equivalent mix of moderate and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity and muscle-strengthening activities two or more days a week may also be enough.

“A very important thing when you’re working out is con-sistency,” Cannello said. “A lot of people get frustrated when they are working out because they don’t see the results they want. If they just stick with it, and give it some time, they are going to see results.”

BoredomFor some people, the repetitiveness of working out makes

it boring and uninteresting.“They do the same things over and over again,” Cannello

said. “Your body gets used to those things. You need to change your program up and try different exercises or ac-tivities you don’t like to do. Try things that will make you uncomfortable. That’s how you get the most benefit out of your workout.”

He said if the workout is boring, it’s probably because they’ve done it too often. You may need to change some aspects of your program.

For people who dislike going to the gym, they may have to find other avenues to burn calories.

“They may enjoy hiking,” Cannello said. “They could hike in the wilderness. If you hike long enough they’re going to see health benefits. There are ways to trick your mind if you don’t enjoy exercising. The bottom line is you have to work hard to see gains.”

RestNot a lot of people know that rest and recovery from

exercise is just as essential.“Rest is important,” Cannello said. “You definitely need

to give yourself a break. If you are really tired, it’s better to take a day of rest and come back stronger the following day where you could actually do more work.”

However, if individuals are not giving their maximum effort because they are just tired, this is a different matter.

“People who don’t really know how to work out or people are not used to working out hard, get sore and they take that as a sign that they have to really back off,” Cannello said. “It’s a hard mix because you do have to back off at times but being sore is normal also so you just have to find that right balance between how hard to work out and how much time to take off. The big mistake that people make is they take off too much time.”

Cannello said the most important thing is consistency.“You’re going to have days where you’re going to be sore

or tired and you don’t want to work hard and that’s OK,” he said. “Listen to your body. If your body needs a day off, then take a day off. But don’t give up. Continue with your program. I really like the saying a slip is not a fall and it certainly applies to exercise. You’re going to slip some days, just make sure you don’t fall off the wagon.”

Welcomesand transferred it to 50 SW Commander, Col. James Ross.

“Today’s successful transfer of satellite control authority is a shining example of how a strong relationship between our ac-quisition and operational communities can produce outstanding results,” Ross said. “We have now established a pattern of de-livering state-of-the-art satellites on orbit and available to users in record-setting

time, this time in a matter of weeks. I am very proud of our 2 SOPS and 19th Space Operations Squadron teams for their hard work.”

Ross immediately delegated command and control of the vehicle to 2 SOPS.

“We continue to be honored and humbled to bring new satellites with new capabilities in to the GPS constellation,” said Lt. Col. Thomas Ste. Marie, 2 SOPS commander. “The partnership between SMC, 19 SOPS and 2 SOPS for launch and initialization only gets stronger each time. My hat is off to the whole team for another extremely smooth and successful campaign.”

The Air Force’s newest GPS satellite was

positioned in its final orbital location May 29. It replaces SVN-33, an older Block IIA space vehicle that has served the GPS mis-sion for more than 17 years.

Global Positioning System satellites transmit digital radio signals to receivers on the ground, allowing military and civil-ian users to calculate their time, location and velocity.

The Block IIF series is the fifth generation of GPS spacecraft and provides improved timing technology, a more jam-resistant military signal and higher powered civilian signal compared to previous models. SVN-66 was designed to operate on orbit for 12 years and includes a reprogrammable pro-

cessor capable of receiving software uploads.The new vehicle joins 31 other GPS satel-

lites currently on orbit in operational sta-tus. The squadron also maintains four spare GPS vehicles in a residual constellation.

Despite being replaced, SVN-33 is not going away. It is still producing healthy signals and will continue to contribute to GPS missions for the foreseeable future. However, SVN-66 will now be the primary satellite occupying that specific orbital slot.

The fifth GPS Block IIF is slated for launch in October. Ultimately, the Air Force plans to launch 12 Block IIFs and has three launches in the planning stage for 2014.

21st Aerospace Medicine SquadronCherokee Metropolitan District, Schriever water supplier,

recently released the Cherokee Metropolitan District — 2013 Water Quality Report. This report, reporting period from Jan 1-Dec. 31, 2012, informs the public about the water quality and services Cherokee delivers to the base population every day.

Cherokee Metropolitan District staff and the 21st Medical Group’s Bioenvironmental Engineering Flight test the water consumed throughout the base. Throughout the process of collection, treatment and distribution, certified water treatment plant operators and laboratory staff monitor the water quality for its chemical and biological content.

Some of these analyses are required to meet state and federal standards, while others are part of ongoing test-ing to assure a continual supply of high quality drink-ing water. Cherokee employees test the water at the wells, treatment plant and in the Cherokee water distribution

system. Bioenvironmental engineering tests water at eight different sampling locations per month for microbiological contamination that could occur in the Schriever section of the distribution system. The Schriever sample sites include the dining facility, Missile Defense Agency and the Child Development Center. All microbiological samples collected in 2012 were analyzed by El Paso County Public Health laboratory and reported safe.

In August 2012, Bioenvironmental Engineering also col-lected an annual lead and copper drinking water samples from the CDC using Environmental Protection Agency protocols. The sample results indicate the water is safe to drink; lead and copper results are well within EPA standards.

Local water sources come from 18 municipal wells span-ning an area eight miles north to 10 miles south of the town of Ellicott. The wells are drilled about 180 feet deep, into an underground source of water called the Upper Black Squirrel Creek Alluvial Aquifer. Ellicott is situated 10 miles

east of Schriever Air Force Base on Highway 94.Cherokee Metropolitan District wants their customers

to be informed about their water utility services. To learn more, call Sean Chambers at 597-5080 or attend an open Board of Directors meeting scheduled at 5:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month located at 6250 Palmer Park Boulevard in Colorado Springs.

Commentary by Master Sgt. Tawanna Sellars50th Space Wing Safety

In the summertime, Colorado is known for scorching heat and blazing sunshine. Colorado also has a very warm and dry climate, increasing the potential for heat-related illnesses and injuries, such as dehydration, heat exhaus-tion, heat stroke and sunburn. During this time, be “sun smart.” The best defense against heat-related illness and injury is prevention.

Here are some tips for preventing heat-related illness and injury:

• Drink plenty of fluids, mainly water. At a minimum, drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Keep a bottle of water with you at all times. Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to drink.

• Avoid caffeinated beverages and alcohol; they cause dehydration.

• Avoid carbonated beverages; carbonation causes bloating

or makes you feel full, preventing adequate consumptions of fluids.

• Cover up. Wear lightweight, light colored, absorbent and loose fitting clothing to cover your arms and legs and prevent excessive sweating and. Also consider wearing a large brimmed hat.

• Stay in cool, shaded areas and, if you must be in the sun, protect your skin with sunscreen. Use sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher frequently and liberally. The most effective products say “broad spectrum” or “UVA/UVB protection” on their labels.

• Wear sunglasses when outdoors. Look for a manufac-turer’s label that says the sunglasses block 99 or 100 percent of all ultraviolet light. To be even more effective, choose sunglasses that fit close to your face or have wraparound frames that block sunlight from all angles.

• Don’t forget to protect an overlooked part of your face,

your lips. Use lip balm or lipstick that contains sunscreen and reapply frequently.

• Avoid extended exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. because the sun’s rays are strongest during these hours. Stay indoors and, if at all possible, stay in an air-conditioned place. Limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours.

• Avoid tanning booths. They deliver more ultraviolent rays to your skin in comparison to natural skin light. It has also been proven to increase the risk of most dangerous form of skin cancer also known as melanoma.

Colorado is a great place to get out and have fun in the sun, but just remember to be safe and “sun smart.” For informa-tion on sun protection and preventing skin cancer, check out the websites of the American Academy of Dermatology at www.aad.org and the Skin Cancer Foundation at www.skincancer.org.

Remember, be ‘sun smart’

When Andy Jensen first heard the news that ducks had been spotted at Schriever, he thought someone must be mistaken.

“We don’t have so much as a small pond on base right now, so it was hard to believe we would see any kind of waterfowl here,” he said.

A short walk to the west side of the base June 5 revealed the facts, however. When Jensen, 50th Civil Engineer Squadron environmental flight chief, and several other members of the environmental flight arrived at one of the many fences that surround Schriever, they found an adult mallard and six ducklings roaming around aimlessly.

Jensen estimated the ducklings had hatched only a day earlier. Since they obviously couldn’t fly, their mother was attempting to lead them to a water source the only way she knew how, by walking.

“Trapped behind a fence and miles from a water source, the ducklings had little chance of surviving,” Jensen said. “The mother must have arrived on base during early May when we still had water in the drainage ditch near the base’s west side. She must have built her nest, laid her eggs and waited for them to hatch. By the time they did, the water had dried up.”

Kim Young, a Missile Defense Agency employee, spotted the scene first. She arrived at work early in the morning and was heartbroken by what she witnessed. She called Margie Hobson, MDA environmental management repre-sentative, who then contacted the 50 CES environmental flight for help.

“Hearing that 90-degree heat was on the horizon and knowing we have many predators on base, the ducks’ future seemed grim,” Hobson said. “My first hope was that we would be able to round up the mother and her hatchlings and transfer them to a nearby body of water, like Prospect Lake, where other ducks and geese make their home.”

Once he surveyed the situation, Jensen contacted the Ellicott Wildlife Rehabilitation Center to get more infor-mation on the birds.

The scenario, presented an interesting decision for the environmental flight crew: choose not to interfere and allow nature to take its course or save the birds and risk disrupting a balanced ecosystem.

“I wrestled with the decision in part because we caught

some grief for rescuing an owl that fell out of a nest on base a few weeks ago,” Jensen said. “The owl had a broken leg, so we know we did the right thing in that situation. As for the ducks, Donna Ralph, owner at EWRC, told me the ducklings most likely wouldn’t survive in these conditions, so we knew we had to act quickly if we were going to save them.”

Joining Jensen were Al Fernandez, Doug Chase, Pamela Rosinski, Diane Selleny and Capt. Rebecca Freeman. They each carried a net and approached the young duck family as a group.

“Our first tactic was to capture the mother, but as soon as we did that, the ducklings shot through the chain link to the other side,” Jensen said. “Once we released her, she reunited the group, but that left us back where we started.”

With the mother distressed and still trapped, Jensen and Chase decided to capture the ducklings. Unfortunately, they were unable to capture the mother a second time, thus

leading to a bittersweet ending for the mallards.“After we picked up the young birds, it was hard to watch

as the mother flew back in and looked around for them,” Jensen said.

Once at the EWRC, the hatchlings health improved dra-matically. With fresh water and the caring of adult mallards at the center, Ralph estimates all six hatchlings will survive. She plans to release the birds near Fountain Creek once they’re old enough to survive on their own, which should be sometime in September or October.

“Obviously, we feel for the mother, but it’s some consola-tion to think she’s probably already flown to a water source,” Jensen said. “And, she has actually has time to lay more eggs this season.”

For more information on what to do when encountering distressed wildlife in the area contact the 50 CES environ-mental flight at 567-3360.

History Quiz

Week of June 13, 2013

Last week’s answer: Which of the wing’s squadrons first activated as an airways detachment and served in India and China during World War II? The 23rd Space Operations Squadron activated as the 23rd Airways Detachment July 25, 1942, at Mitchel Field, N.Y. The unit arrived in Karachi, India, in November 1942. In March 1943, the unit moved to Chabua, India, and then to Kunming, China, in May 1943. It was reconstituted and redesignated 23rd Space Operations Squadron and activated at New Boston AFS, N.H. Nov. 1, 1991.

This week’s question: The 50th Space Wing’s youngest squadron is? Bonus question: What is that squadron’s date of activation?

Responses to the quiz questions can be emailed to 50 SW/HO at [email protected].

AutomatedOperational Concept sites,” said Igl. ”We are committed to supporting the ongoing test effort by working closely with 22 SOPS to build in more complex satellite supports at the AROC sites.”

Lt. Col. Scott Angerman, 22 SOPS commander, also commented on the ongoing effort.

“AFSCN antenna automation is being targeted at four RBC antennas

initially to allow the 50 Space Wing efficient use of resources using inher-ent technical antenna capabilities,” he said. “22 SOPS along with our partners in 21 SOPS and the Space and Missile Center will be working with all AFSCN users this month to test and validate this concept for automated space opera-tions. This increasingly will be the way of the future.”

Since the initial test support, 3 SOPS conducted two additional automated commanding supports to the Defense Satellite Communications System with-out issue.

“3 SOPS is honored to be the first

squadron within the 50th Space Wing to demonstrate this game-changing capability. I’d like to personally thank my ground engineering team led by 1st Lt. James ‘JC’ Kundert, Senior Airman Christopher Reeves, Airman 1st Class Briana McDougal, and Airman 1st Class James Ferguson for develop-ing and testing the operational pro-cedures,” said Igl. “Their hard work, technical expertise and knowledge has been invaluable to the test AROC support success and will be instru-mental in developing and validating the operational procedures for future AROC supports.”

Jena Bienia’s official title is community support coordina-tor, but Schriever’s latest arrival says her new position incor-porates a wide and varied set of duties and responsibilities.

Some of her functions resemble those that a corporate executive might perform, while others will lead her into face-to-face interactions with her primary customers.

“I like both aspects of the job,” she said. “I’ll be help-ing families and Airmen on a personal level, but I’ll also coordinate and connect with the many support agencies that serve Schriever.”

Air Force leaders developed the CSC as a means for providing a full-time installation level position to oversee and integrate community, family, individual support and resiliency programs. The job also requires those who hold it to serve as executive director of the on-base Community Action Information Board and the Integrated Delivery System.

“It’s important for the person who performs this role to have a lot of experience working with community support agencies as well as base leadership,” said Mary Barkley, Schriever’s Airman and Family Services flight chief. “She has a real caring quality and a genuine concern about Airmen and their families. Being a retired Air Force member, she understands the challenges and the stressors that our mem-bers face and wants to provide valuable tools that will enable our families to ‘bounce back’ from difficult situations.”

Bienia started working for at the Elmendorf Air Force Base Family Support Center as the active duty superinten-dent. After retiring, she was hired as a transition assistance specialist, assisting members as they separated or retired. She later became a program manager and then eventually served as the Airman and Family Readiness Center flight chief for nine years. She also stood up the School Liaison program at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and served 22 schools in the Anchorage School District.

Until now, the roles of the CAIB and IDS executive di-rector were shared by the IDS agencies. The duties were rotated from chaplains, Airman and family services, family advocacy, mental health, health and wellness and sexual

assault response coordinators. Schriever AFB followed this model, but had only three agencies to share in the rotation.

“Having someone devote 100 percent to the CAIB and IDS is extremely beneficial and lessens the burdens for the helping agencies,” said Barkley. Having a CSC is a great asset to Schriever. Families know their needs will be taken

care of because we now have a person who can devote her time and energy toward these tasks exclusively. We are more isolated than most bases and it is important that we continue to build a sense of community here.”

Airmen and families who need assistance with any num-ber of issues can reach Bienia at 567-2315.

11June 13, 2013Schriever Sentinel

By Staff Sgt. Robert Cloys50th Space Wing Public Affairs

The 50th Space Wing welcomed its new command chief June 11. Chief Master Sgt. Lavon Coles will fill the spot left by Chief Master Sgt. Patrick McMahon who was selected by 14th Air Force to serve as its command chief.

No stranger to Schriever, Coles has been stationed here twice before, assigned to the 1st Space Operations Squadron, 4 SOPS and the 50th Operations Group.

As a security forces Airman back in the early 1990s, Coles never imagined that he would eventually cross-train into the satellite systems operation career field and become the command chief of a space wing. He said he is incredibly humbled by his Air Force experience.

“This is just one of those blessings that is afforded to few. I’m just one of those few to be blessed by the opportunity,” he said.

As the wing’s highest enlisted Airman, Coles stated his goal is to support the wing’s goals, the commander’s goals for the unit and encourage the unit members.

“One of the first things I want to do is just sit back and listen,” he said. “I don’t pretend to think that because I have been here in the past, I understand all the moving parts to the 50th Space Wing and our mission partners. My goal is just to watch, listen and learn as much as I can.”

Those assigned to 4 SOPS during his time as superinten-dent there may remember a mantra he used often.

“One of the centerpieces for me during my 4 SOPS days as superintendent was ‘Triple A.’ I talked about attitude, action and accountability,” said Coles. “They remind me how I should carry myself, how I should act accordingly, and the fact that we have to have accountability in the Air Force for people, mission and resources.”

It’s for “such a time as this” that Coles believes paths lead him to be the command chief here. Years ago the time was Desert Storm and Desert Shield, said Coles. Now, our time deals with innovation and fiscal restraints.

Because these responsibilities are unique to today, Coles also encourages Team Schriever to take action for the future of the Air Force.

“It’s our turn right now to lead our Air Force. You can’t blame the folks from 10 years ago or 15 years ago,” said

Coles. “The Airmen of today are our responsibility to make sure the Air Force of tomorrow will continue to grow like it does. That’s on us.”

Coles is returning to the 50 SW after serving as the super-intendent at 21st Operations Group at Peterson Air Force Base and is welcomed back by wing leadership.

“We are all very excited about Chief Coles’ return to the wing,” said Col. James Ross, 50 SW commander. “His experi-ence (some of it with 50 OG), attitude and outgoing nature make him the perfect fit with our senior leadership team. Please welcome this Master of Space back home when you see him!”

By Staff Sgt. Patrice Clarke50th Space Wing Public Affairs

As Colorado Springs temperatures rise, a strange phenomenon occurs. It seems many people migrate away from their stoves and ovens and return to cooking food on open fire sources also known as Grillis Migrationus. Usually occurring be-tween late May and early October, the urge to fire up that backyard grill or smoker is intense.

For members of Team Schriever who follow this annual tradition, precautions must be made. Due to drought conditions and the high threat of fire, safety must be paramount when cooking over open flame.

Brad Truver, Schriever Fire Department assistant chief of fire prevention, recom-mends potential grill masters check their equipment before grilling.

“If you are bringing out the propane grill for the summer, remember to check the propane tank and hoses for any leaks or damage before connecting,” said Truver.

Always get propane tanks from autho-rized sources. Propane expands with heat. When transporting the tank from the store to home, go directly home. Do not leave the tank sitting in a hot car for an extended amount of time.

Once home, Truver suggests checking

the hose for leaks by rubbing it with soapy water while the gas is flowing. If bubbles persist, there is a leak.

Precautions should also be taken when

lighting the grill. If, once lit, the fire goes out, wait at least 15 minutes for fumes to dissipate before attempting to relight.

For the grill masters who enjoy using

charcoal or wood, remember to refer to burn bans and restrictions before lighting up the grill.

According to the El Paso County Fire Marshals website, open burning, defined as campfires and warming fires, char-coal grills and outdoor wood burning stoves, are prohibited during Stage II Fire Restrictions. . Fires contained within liq-uid fueled or gas-fueled stoves are permit-ted. Violations of these restrictions could result in a fine of $1,000.

If the charcoal grill gets the green light, only use approved lighter fluid to help light the charcoals.

“Never spray lighter fluid while lighting, as the fumes can ignite the entire can and cause an explosion,” said Truver.

Never pour lighter fluid on already lit coals and remember to let coals cool com-pletely before disposing.

Barbecue grills should be placed at least 10 feet away from all structures and com-bustibles to include overhangs and low-hanging tree branches.

Like cooking indoors, grill masters should stand by their pan or never leave the grill unattended.

By following simple precautions, all Grillis Migrationus participants can en-sure a safe and delicious grilling season.

Team Schriever members are reminded to take the proper safety precautions during ‘Grillis Migrationus,’ the time honored tradition of migrating away from their ovens and stoves to return to cooking over the open fire.
