DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON

When families arrive at Joint Base Ana-costia-Bolling (JBAB), the process of select-ing a school can be overwhelming.

The base busing program carries stu-dents to 42 different schools and there aremany additional schools to which parentscan choose to transport their children.

On April 28, a presentation took placeto help provide parents of prospective pre-kindergarten students an opportunity tolearn about the District of Columbia’s EarlyChildhood Education (ECE) program.

The base school liaison officer, ECEcommunity and parent outreach coordina-tors, andmembers of the Leckie ElementarySchool Parent Teacher Organization joinedforces to discuss the district’s pre-kinder-garten program.

“The District of Columbia is one of theonly school districts in the nation that pro-vides universal pre-schooling for its city’sthree- and four-year-olds,” said Lola Uvi-eghara, an ECE community and parent out-reach coordinator. “Our ECE teachers workhard to plan creative and simulating child-hood lessons that literally build your child’sbrain and build critical pre-reading, math,and social-emotional skills needed for kin-dergarten and beyond.”

As anECEcommunity andparent outreachcoordinator,Uvieghara is responsible forhelp-ing parents extend the learning environmentfromtheclassroom into thehome. Inaddition,sheworks to empower parents, children’s first

teachers, through interactive workshops.“I’m passionate about closing what has

been termed ‘the academic achievementgap,’ which studies show starts in kinder-garten,” Uvieghara said. “If you’ve been fol-lowing the news you will have heard count-less stories on the growing understandingof the first five years of a child’s life. In theseyears the young brain is being wired for alifetime of learning and hopefully academic

success. It is the mission of the ECE coordi-nators to close the academic achievementgap by providing access to high quality earlylearning programs.”

Leckie Elementary School is the zonedelementary school for JBAB.

Keva Knight teaches PK4 at the school.This is not a traditional program, but muchmore about who the students are, she said.“It is about regulating yourself socially and

cognitively. All the teachers who are part ofthe early childhood education program atLeckie are seasoned teachers. We know howto sprinkle in (the numbers, letters, colors)so it doesn’t seem overwhelming.”

Members of the Leckie PTO discussedtheir role at the school which includes ev-erything from offering tours of the schoolto connecting parents and guardians withvolunteer opportunities.

“I’m there pretty much all day,” said La-rissa Camilleri, Leckie Elementary SchoolPTO president. “The PTO has a very opendoor policy and we’ve worked to create afamily atmosphere here. We invite every-body in. It is a great place to be and just letgo of your problems. You can sit in the Par-ent Resource Center and relax with a cup ofcoffee if you need to or sign up for one of thenumerous volunteer opportunities at theschool. If you have a younger child you canbring them with you when you volunteer.”

Daniel Dunham the JBAB school liaisonofficer is ready to help parents and guard-ians navigate their way through the Dis-trict of Columbia school system to find theschool that best fits their family’s needs.

“The school liaison officer is the primarylink between parents, educators and com-mand, working to ensure smooth transitionsbetween schools and positive educationalexperiences,” Dunham said. “We can pro-vide numerous resources to assist families,educators and commands in their efforts tocreate positive and supportive educationalenvironments for military children.”

If you see something, say something.That’s the message being put forth by the

security department and command leader-ship at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB).

In early May, the Department of Defenseissued a requirement to all bases in theUnited States - directing an increase in forceprotection measures from Force ProtectionCondition (FPCON) Alpha to FPCON Bravo.

The move was a proactive response topotential threats from sympathizers of theterrorist group Islamic State (commonly re-ferred to as ISIS).

At JBAB, Director of Security John Han-son says the changes should be nearly trans-parent to the base population.

“It should almost be invisible to the gen-eral public,” he said. “There’s really no im-pact on them at the gates if they’re comingthrough. There are no additional expecta-tions. We do ask that people be patient withour officers. As part of random anti-terrormeasures, they may be asking for additionalidentification.”

As part of the changes, however, Han-son said there’s a renewed push to remindpeople who work and live in and around thebase to be aware.

“Be vigilant. Report suspicious activity,”he said.

When reporting suspicious activity, Lar-ry Stevenson, JBAB’s physical security andanti-terrorism officer, says reporting some-thing unusual boils down to recognizingwhat seems normal and what doesn’t.

“Anything that’s out of the ordinary thatmakes you uncomfortable, you need to re-port,” he explained. “With today’s society,

everybody is so complacent and comfort-able with being in America and how we dobusiness on a daily basis that all these thingswe’re addressing may not get reported. Nowthat we’re addressing it, we need people topay more attention and recognize whensomething seems out of the ordinary so thatthey can report it.”

Examples of suspicious activity are thingsthat are out of the daily norm, he added.

“Some things, whether on or off the in-stallation, are not normal to the observer. Ifyou see cars parked in an area for long pe-riods of time, or you see someone loitering,in areas where that shouldn’t be happening- something uncommon - report it. What’simportant to residents and military mem-bers is important to us as well,” he said.

Hanson says the key to making a reportis noting as many details as possible withoutgetting involved in the situation.

“If someone sees something, the mostimportant thing we want to tell them is notto engage,” he emphasized. “Let us do that.The best thing to do is casually note details.What is the person’s nationality or ethnic-ity? Are they male or female? What are theywearing? What were they doing? Is theremore than one person? When you call, theoperator will know what questions to ask,and those details are important. However,the caller need not fear that they don’t haveenough details. If something is suspicious,it’s still better to call.”

To report suspicious activity, callersshould dial 202-433-3333 immediately afterthey observe it.

For more information on reporting sus-picious activity, call base security at 202-767-5000.

BY MENTAL HEALTH AMERICA

Themonth of May has been recognized asMental HealthMonth for over 65 years. This year’s theme is titled, “Ad-dressing Mental Health Before Stage Four,” which focuseson the importance of addressing symptoms of a mentalhealth disorder before the situation becomes critical or,Stage Four. Being able to recognize symptoms of a mentalhealth disorder can drastically affect a person’s treatmentand help them plan an appropriate course of action to startthem on the path back to health. This May, we are encour-aging everyone to learn the signs and symptoms early on,to seek care if needed, and plan how to get back to feelingbetter as soon as possible.

Stage Four is a term that is often associated with veryserious diseases, such as cancer. When a person is in StageFour of cancer, we take the necessary steps to help themrecover. The same care needs to be taken when a person issuffering from a mental health disorder. It’s important tonote that prevention is a key part in all of this. For health is-sues, we take preventive steps and measures to ensure thatwe are doing everything possible to stay healthy. The samesteps should be taken to help a person avoid a serious men-tal health disorder.

Some of the early warning signs and symptoms that youmight be struggling with a mental health disorder couldbe: problems with concentration, memory, or the ability tothink clearly, changes in eating such as loss of appetite or

overeating, feeling overly worried, sad, hopeless, worthless,feeling irritable or restlessness, and loss of interest in activi-ties that are normally enjoyable. Keep in mind this is a shortlist of symptoms; people could experience signs that are noton here that could be a potential mental health disorder.

One of the quickest and easiest ways to determinewhether you are experiencing symptoms of a mental healthcondition is to take a screening. Mental Health Americanhas online screening tools for depression, anxiety, and bi-polar disorders, as well as fact sheets explaining specificmental health disorders. These screening tools and factsheets are simple to access and can help you be more awareof your mental health, and if needed, seek help before it getsto a Stage Four condition.

When feelings and emotions get overwhelming, it can behard to know what to do. Sometimes, these early symptomsmight not become serious and can go away on their own.However, some symptoms are signs that something moresevere is going on and they should not be ignored. Seek-ing help early can help a person work through their mentalhealth disorder, possibly save their life, and change theiroverall health. Prevention, early identification and interven-tion, and integrated services really do work.

Mental Health America has a goal to get every Americanscreened and aware of their mental health. Check their web-site, www.mentalhealthamerica.net/mental-health-screen-ing-tools, to access the screeners and to find a series of fact

sheets on different disorders. The JBABMental Health Clin-ic can also be contacted at 202-767-0611 for any questionsor information needed.

Use #B4Stage4 to show support for Mental HealthMonth, spread the word, and show others struggling with amental health disorder that they are not alone!

JOINT BASE ANACOSTIA-BOLLING PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Editor’s note: This is part two of a two-part story on AirForce dentistry at JBAB. Part one can be found in the May 15,2015 issue of the Joint Base Journal.

One dental resident at the 579th, Air Force Capt. Mat-thew J. Coen, from Newton, Iowa, found his way into theAir Force during his first of four years in dental school. Coenholds an undergraduate degree in biology from SouthwestMinnesota State University in Marshall, Minnesota, and adoctorate of dental sciences (DDS) fromUniversity of Iowa.

“When I got into dental school, I wondered, ‘How am Igoing to pay for this?’ and I went through Health Profes-sional Scholarship Program (HPSP) [a program that sup-ports Army, Air Force, and Navy dentistry]. I applied forthat right away and I got a three-year scholarship. I paid formy first year on my own and then the next three years I willpay for by returning the same number of years in service,”said Coen.

This year of residency is a neutral year for the residents,meaning it does not count toward their service commitment.

“It’s not adding on anything, but it’s not a payback yearbecause we’re getting a lot of education in this program,and really getting to develop our skills so that we’re able toprovide better service, and it’s a way for them to credential

us,” Coen said. “We all have our state licenses, it doesn’tmatter which one. What a state license normally means inthat state you can have full range doing whatever you feelcomfortable doing.”

“In the military you’re there’s a credentialing process soyou go through and have people watch you do things andthey decided in the military are you going to have permis-sion to do this procedure essentially. So it’s another level ofpatient safety basically.”

Air Force Capt. Rachael Voigt, of Niceville, Florida, an-other of the 579th’s five dental residents, earned a degreein Biology from the University of Florida in Gainesville, andher DDS from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lau-derdale, Florida.

Voigt had a different path into Air Force dentistry.She said she always knew that she wanted to do some-thing medical.

“When I was an undergrad I was shadowing at Shand’sHospital. They put me in pediatric intensive care. Nobodyvolunteered to go there because it’s sad. So I went there andI loved it. I loved the kids. But every week I would go backand the kids wouldn’t be there and it would make me reallysad because I knew why they weren’t there. So then I waslike, ‘I’ve gotta switch, I’ve gotta do something different.’”said Voigt. “So I told them to put me in something totallyopposite, and they put me in prosthodontics, and I loved it.

I’m artistic I think and I like to use my hands, so I felt thatwas really cool. The next semester they made me do orthoand before I knew it I had seen all of the different special-ties of dentistry and I thought, ‘I think this dentistry thingis for me.’”

Growing up inNiceville, Voigt and her family lived amonga large population of Air Force personnel stationed at bothEglin Air Force Base and Hulbert Field. She said many ofher family’s friends were dentists in the military, and theyplanted the seed to apply for the HPSP scholarship program.She applied in 2010, during her senior year of college, andwas awarded a three year scholarship.

With Coen and Voigt two-thirds of the way through theirresidency, they have now received at least some exposure toall of the specialty areas necessary for the program.

“We’re here andwe learn all sorts of specialties. There areprosthodontists here, that’s prosthetic teeth, whether that’sfixed or removable. There’s periodontists like Dr. Schultz,she does the gums and the bone that holds the teeth inplace. There’s oral surgery which we go to Andrews to Mal-colm Grove to do. That’s teeth extractions, face movements,like breaking bones in the face to move them in differentplaces, trauma care, anything head or neck that has to do

with surgery they do over there. Then there is endodonticsover here, that’s just root canals. There is a short course inradiology, so we’ve got to know how to do x-rays too. Thereare oral pathologists up in Bethesda with the Navy. We dida course in forensics. So if there is a mass casualty situationand they need help identifying people, dental is always apretty big part of that. We do IV sedations for people whoare very anxious; if it’s a very traumatic experience for theprocedure we can sedate them by an IV rather than numb-ing a spot,” said Coen.

It’s great here that we get the opportunity to treat theretirees because they typically have a little more needs onaverage. First molars come in when you’re six years old andyou try to keep those for the rest of your life, so you putsome miles on them. And by the time you’re their age, a lotof things happen and they might need some help.

One of the benefits of the program, by design, is that resi-dents, in the course of their broad exposure and training,treat the same patient a number of times over their resi-dency in a number of different capacities, for a number ofdifferent, but related procedures.

“We see a lot of our patients, multidisciplinary. It’s beenreally nice because you can build a relationship with them.I like to talk to my patients and like to know their back-ground and get some history on them so they don’t feel likea stranger is treating them. I would rather see the same pa-tients over a long period of time and have that relationshipthan just see random patients sporadically,” said Voigt.

Air Force Col. Jeffrey Denton, director of residency train-ing, said that this model of working on a long, complex, mul-tidisciplinary case with a single patient over time allows theresidents to understand the continuity of care, that is, howtheir treatment of a particular patient progresses through toan end result. He said while there is also value in sporadiccare, doing one thing for one patient and something elseon another, there is probably more value being able to doeverything that a patient needs and seeing how the disci-plines interact.

“I think that helps the resident to establish a treatmentplan. And it helps them when they create the treatment planto think through all of the different disciplines that there arein dentistry and to practice all of them appropriately andwatch and see the changes that occur. Maybe do some rootcanals and let them heal. And then do some perio and letthem heal. That way you can kind of watch and see the pro-gression. It’s also a confidence builder,” said Schultz. “Thepatient benefits for sure. But I think the resident benefitsfrom taking someone through the whole treatment plan,which takes a lot longer than you think. And then some-times things come up, like you didn’t expect to have to ex-tract this tooth, but now you have to. That is the benefit forthem. To follow through with a case and have ownership ofwhat you do and what you’re providing to someone.”

Regina Williams, whose husband retired from the mili-tary, has seen Voigt four times and likely has three othersremaining, is in a treatment program that would have costtens of thousands of dollars according to Schultz.

Williams, speaking of Voigt and the program, said, “She’sfabulous. She’s been wonderful. This program has been ahuge blessing for me. It’s wonderful because you get thatcontinuity of care. It gives you a sense of security. She al-ready knows my case and I don’t have to explain it over andover again to someone new. I’m very grateful. I feel muchhonored to be able to come on base and have Dr. Voigt lookafter me.”

Retired Air Force Master Sgt. Kevin Nickle, originallyfrom Orlando, Florida and now retired in Ashburn, Virginiahas been treated in the program by Coen for the past threemonths. Nickle first heard of the program in the annual re-tiree newsletter announcement and contacted the clinic lastJune to see if he would qualify.

Regarding the repeated treatment by the same doctor(Coen), Nickle said, “It means consistency and being able toknow what’s going on and not have too many changes. It’sbeen excellent. It’s a training program, but it’s been great.It’s a very nice benefit, and also gives them an opportunityto have some training as well. I’m not at all concerned thatthey’re trainees, because they have qualified personneloverseeing what they’re doing and checking them. I’m veryconfident in what they have.”

Nickle maintained however, that the greatest benefit ofthe program was the discovery of the serious dental issuesthat he had, but about which he was unaware until he satdown for his exam under the program.

“I didn’t even realize that I had serious issues and need-ed help,” he said. “So without this program, I’m not sure I’dhave even known until much later when there was irrevers-ible damage.”
