A HARLEY MARINE SERVICES PUBLICATION
CO-WORKER APPRECIATION WEEK
This year, employees at Harley Marine Services celebrated the 8th Annual Co-Worker Appreciation
Week (CWAW) from November 3-7. In all of their ports, each company recognized a different department every day, allowing those employees to select an activity of their choice to promote recognition
of their fellow co-workers for all the hard work they do throughout the year.
Pizza parties and pancake breakfasts, chili cook-offs and taco lunches were just a few of the planned
activities. Every port customized the celebration to their departments and locations. In Seattle, there
was even a mobile espresso truck serving coffee to employees as they walked into work, in cups
hand-illustrated by HMS employees. It was an exciting week that demonstrated the level of appreciation and camaraderie all of us here at Harley Marine have for our company and co-workers.
In addition to these fun hands-on activities, employees also participated in daily trivia and raffle contests. We also held our annual food drive fundraiser, collecting non-perishable food items to donate
during the holiday season. Along with the food items donated by employees, Harley Marine Services
also donated $1,000.00 to local food banks in each regional location where their companies are
based.
Thank you to the CWAW Committee and the HMS Human Resources Department for all their effort

DR. ROBERT J. BEALL CHRISTENING
On Monday, November 10th, Harley Marine Services hosted the christening of the barge DR. ROBERT J.
BEALL at Zidell Marine, near Portland, OR. The DR. ROBERT J. BEALL, named for the President & CEO of
the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, is one part of the first articulated tug and barge (ATB) in the Harley Marine fleet.
An articulated tug and barge combines the traditional towing methods and that of a small tanker.
During the reception Jay Zidell, President of Zidell Marine Corporation and Harley Franco, CEO of Harley Marine Services served as the event hosts, greeting those in attendance and delivering speeches prior to the christening.
Father Pat Brennan of St. Mary’s Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception performed the blessing of the barge,
ensuring the strength of the vessel and the safety
of all those onboard during its voyages. Kari
Rose, a patient of cystic fibrosis, christened the
vessel.
Following the ceremony and reception, lunch was
enjoyed at McCormick & Schmicks in downtown
Portland.
Harley Marine Services is honored to name this
vessel after a very dedicated and passionate individual who has worked tirelessly to help find a
cure for cystic fibrosis.

DR. ROBERT J. BEALL CHRISTENING
THE MEANING BEHIND THE NAME...
Harley Marine Services is honored to name the newest addition to our fleet after a truly remarkable doctor and leader, Dr. Robert J. Beall.
Robert J. Beall, Ph.D., began his tenure at the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 1980 as Executive Vice
President for Medical Affairs and for the past 20 years has served as President and Chief Executive
Officer. Under Dr. Beall’s leadership, the CF Foundation has significantly advanced the search for a
cure for cystic fibrosis and helped dramatically improve the length and quality of life for people with
CF. Prior to joining the CF Foundation, Dr. Beall was on the medical school faculty of Case Western
Reserve University in Cleveland, and worked at the National Institutes of Health, where he managed
a large portion of NIH’s cystic fibrosis program.
During Dr. Beall’s tenure, the CF Foundation has become one of the most respected voluntary
health organizations in the country. The CF Foundation’s innovative “venture philanthropy” approach to drug development, in which the CF Foundation invests in research collaborations with
pharmaceutical companies to help bring new therapies to patients, has been emulated by other nonprofit health organizations. The creation in the 1980s of a national network of research centers of
excellence, the Research Development Program, attracted many leading institutions and first-rate
scientists to the CF research effort. This collaborative network contributed to the identification of the
CF gene in 1989. Since that discovery, the CF Foundation has focused on translating knowledge
about the gene and the basic defect in CF into the development of novel CF treatments. In 1998,
the CF Foundation launched its ground-breaking Therapeutics Development Program, a unique coalition of industry, academics and the CF Foundation that is directed at speeding the discovery and
development of cutting-edge new CF drugs.
Nearly every CF drug available today was made possible because of the CF Foundation’s business
model, most recently Kalydeco, the first drug to treat the underlying cause of the disease in a segment of the CF population. The CF Foundation maintains a robust pipeline of potential CF therapies
that target the disease from every angle, and the prospects for a cure for cystic fibrosis have never
been higher.
We are proud to stand by Dr. Beall and continue “Cruisin’ for a Cure” as we support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to find the cure for cystic fibrosis.

HMS MENTORING PROJECT
by Victoria Hall-Clinton, HSQE Coordinator
Harley Marine Services’ mentoring program allows employees the freedom to shape their personal
experiences in any way that will help them to become the most successful. This is achieved by offering employees the option of multiple and separate mentoring partnerships besides the standard traditional one-on-one mentoring approach. Many employees have already begun to take advantage of
these opportunities to build partnerships that best benefit their needs and goals.
Director of HSQ, Tim Kline and HMS Port Captain, Neil Billingsley have capitalized on the flexibility of
the program by engaging in a peer mentoring program. Peer mentoring is a form of mentorship that
usually takes place between a person who has encountered a specific experience and a person who
is new to that experience. This situation is beneficial because peers play a role in not only creating a
supportive network, but also in enhancing learning experiences and personal development.
If you have not yet done so, please choose a mentor, fill out the application form, and begin building
your partnerships in ways that best fit your schedule, personality, and abilities.

HAZWOPER TRAINING
By Andre Nault, Safety Manager - California Region
Millennium Maritime and Westoil Marine Services recently completerd their second bi-annual boom
deployment drill and HAZWOPER Refresher training in Los Angeles. The OSPR representative was
very pleased with the drill, specifically commenting on the good radio communication between boom
skiff and the crew on deck as they deployed the boom.
There were 16 participants including captains, tankermen, engineers, deckhands and shoreside managers in attendance. In addition to deploying the boom within the allotted time requirement, they also
conducted skiff handling/boom maneuvering training for several newer crew members.
Everyone attended a debriefing afterwards, then reviewed the ‘Bunkering Best Practices’ DVD while
enjoying some pizza.
Special thanks to Reed Daoedsjah, Michael Castagnola, Brian Vartan, and Michael Golden for their
excellent assistance and guidance throughout the drill. Thanks to all who participated - you guys are
the best!
WELCOME TUG BROOKLYN!
Please welcome the newest addition to our fleet in the Gulf, the Tug BROOKLYN. The tug was originally built in 1975 at Halter Marine and named the PEGGY SHERIDAN. Later it was sold to APEX
Marine and renamed the BROOKLYN.
Harley Marine Services is now operating
the BROOKLYN for Apex per a vessel
management agreement. HMS is responsible for managing the crew and for
maintenance of the tug.
Welcome to the fleet!

Environmental Achievement
Award
Harley Marine Services is proud to announce the list of vessels
that have received the prestigious Environmental Achievement
Award this year from the Chamber of Shipping of America.
Eligibility is determined by having no spills or fines in the last year
of operations. Additionally a vessel must be at least 3 years of
age. We extend our congratulations to all of these vessels, however, it is necessary to contextualize the aforementioned achievements.
The list to the right states the vessel and number of years it has
operated incident free. These vessels operate under strenuous
circumstances throughout the United States and collectively have
delivered 215 operating years without incident.
The gross number of years without an incident speaks to Harley
Marine Services’ steadfast commitment to the highest standards
of environmental excellence in every facet of its operations.
Congratulations to all!

I would like to give a thumbs up to the following crewmen who gave their
time and effort to help another Starlight Marine vessel in prepping the

HEALTHY EATING AND DRINKING
DURING THE WINTER HOLIDAYS
Healthy eating during the holiday season may seem impossible. In fact, the average American gains a pound or
two during the holiday season. This weight tends to stick and accumulate over the years. But don’t
fret! There are ways to help manage the holiday food temptations while still participating in the joys of the holiday season.
Tips to keep unwanted weight off during the holidays:





Plan ahead! Eat healthier in the days leading up to a major holiday feast.
Bring healthy dishes to holiday events. As the host of the party you can offer healthy dishes but as a guest
you have less control! Offer to bring a dish that you know you will enjoy and will provide a healthy option for
the meal.
Eat the ‘best for you’ options first, and then go back for more. This will help fill you up on healthier foods
before overindulging on the less healthy options.
Do not skip meals in preparation for a later meal! This will just lead to overeating.
Keep moving. The holidays can be a great time to take a brisk walk with family members or play a game of
basketball with the kids. Physical activity reduces stress and gives us more energy, something everybody
needs when dealing with the end of year business.
Holidays and Drinking:
Holidays tend to heighten alcohol intake as there are more special occasions where alcohol is offered. Many
holiday drinkers do not normally drink and therefore have a lower tolerance. Furthermore, people are dealing
with the increased pressures of planning for the holiday season and may feel more pressure to have a drink.
This is why it is important to pay attention to these points about holiday drinking:


Roads can be more dangerous and people are usually in a rush. Adding alcohol to the mix is a recipe for
disaster.
Alcohol adds unwanted extra calories and lowers inhibitions which can lead to overeating.
Avoid holiday drinking related problems:




Obviously, the best thing to do is to resist the pressure to drink, especially in excess.
Offer nonalcoholic beverages at holiday events.
Plan ahead and decide how many drinks you are going to have before you start drinking.
If you choose to drink, ALWAYS make sure you have a designated driver or take a ride service such as a
taxi, Uber or Lyft.

WHY I LOVE FATTY FOODS
By Danielle L. Peterson
It is probably safe to say that there is a lot of conflicting information about fats in our country today. Are fats good
or bad? What kind of fats should I be eating? Should I even be eating fat? What about cholesterol? Let’s take
this opportunity to dispel some of this conflicting information in this article and the ones to follow. First off, we will
focus on the benefits of healthful fats and which ones to include in your diet for optimum health.
Healthy fats and oils are essential for our health. Here are a few of their
benefits:



Healthy Fats
Fats satisfy our appetites.
Fats aid in healthy hormone production in the body.
Fats greatly enhance mineral absorption in the diet.
Fats provide a long-burning source of energy – especially for the heart!
Fats build healthy bile; a substance made by the liver, stored and released by
the gallbladder to aid in optimal fat digestion and emulsification.
Fats help to nourish every cell in our body by providing building blocks to maintain healthy cell membranes. (Nutrients in; Wastes out!)
Fats aid in the formation of anti-inflammatory substances in the body

Flax Seeds
Chia Seeds
Sunflower Seeds
Walnuts
Pecans
A no-fat or low-fat diet can lead to many unwanted affects such as, fatigue,
mood disorders, nutrient deficiencies, and weight issues. Fats are our bodies preferred source of energy!
Saturated fats have been unfairly attacked since the medical and scientific
so-called “experts” falsely linked the dietary intake of saturated fat and cholesterol to the increased incidence of heart disease.
There are many foods that contain healthy fat and vitamins that you may not
suspect. A few of those foods are:

Butter (my favorite)

Grass fed beef (contains omega 3’s)

Pastured eggs

Animal fats from animals that have been pastured

2014 SAFETY INCENTIVE PROGRAM WINNER!
Harley Marine Services’ Safety Department is please to recognize Dan Baumfalk as the 2014 OTB Safety Incentive Program Grand Prize Winner. Dan is a two-time SIP winner, his first year winning was in 2012.
In recognition of this achievement, HMS sent Dan and his family on a vacation to sunny Southern California to pay a visit
to Disneyland. Dan, along with his wife Leah, and their two children, Bailey and Jake, spent three days taking in the fun
and adventure of the Magic Kingdom. Congratulations, Dan!
“My family and I would like to give a huge ‘Thank You’ to Harley Marine Services. I won the grand prize for the
Safety Incentive Program and Harley Marine sent my family on an unforgettable vacation. Harley Marine Services
paid for flight, lodging and three days of fun at Disneyland California adventure. My kids are seven and five and
the timing was perfect, we did EVERYTHING! I convinced my reluctant son that the Tower Of Terror line was for
the bathrooms and got him to do every ride. My daughter rode the big roller coaster eleven times.
I would also like to thank my fellow crew members at Olympic Tug & Barge in Portland. We hold a lot of safety
meetings and we take our drills to the next level, often at inconvenient times. Seattle's Dan Johnson built us a
great man-overboard dummy and he gets dunked often. Everyone participates and has shown great interest.
Captain Sue recently set off the fire alarm unannounced and the crew was on the scene with PPE, comms, and a
charge hose in less than one minute. It takes commitment from everyone and everyone has stepped up.
If you aren't familiar with the Safety Incentive Program, you a missing out on an incredible opportunity. My favorite
part of the program is that you are earning points for doing things that you ALREADY DO!
Safety meetings are required weekly on each vessel, and these are worth points. If you step up and lead the
meeting it is worth even more. Whenever you see an issue with equipment, crews or a particular evolution, it is a
good time for a safety meeting. Take time out and discuss the details so that safety is at the forefront of everything you do. Detail the steps for completing an evolution safely in a JSA, like how to break chain or spool a
winch, and you’ll earn points. This is a tool to get everyone on your vessel, in your port and the entire company
involved when it comes to safety.
Work safe friends, and thanks again to Harley Marine Services”. -Daniel Baumfalk

WHQ held a food drive competition during Co-Worker Appreciation Week and donated almost 200 pounds of non-perishable
goods to The Ballard Food Bank. Way to go WHQ!
To celebrate the generous donations, WHQ held Taco Tuesday
before Thanksgiving break. Other Harley Marine locations also
participated in food drives during the week of CWAW. Harley
Marine encourages all employees to participate in a form of
charity by donating or volunteering to a good cause this holiday
season!
WHQ will continue the food drive throughout the end of the year.
Happy Holidays Harley Marine Team!
