WINTER PREPAREDNESS
Winter storms, snow, wind chill, frost, ice and extreme cold are a
coast-to-coast threat to the United States and Canada. Last winter
season, major cities as far south as Atlanta and Dallas
were paralyzed by snow and ice. As with any emergency event, it
is more often than not what you do to prepare that can make a difference in how you manage and survive. There are three key elements to personal and family preparedness:
1. Make a plan and practice the plan with your family and those
who depend on you.
2. Stay informed and know the weather approaching so you are prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws your way.
3. Create an emergency preparedness kit for your home and office. Kits are also a great idea for vehicle road travel.
Home Winter Preparedness: During bad winter weather, the primary concerns are loss of heat, power and telephone service
and a shortage of supplies if storm conditions continue for more than a day. It is recommended that you have the following
items on hand:

Flashlight and extra batteries

Battery-powered NOAA Weather Radio and portable radio to receive emergency information

Extra food and water such as dried fruit, nuts and granola bars, and other food that does not require cooking or refrigera-
tion

Extra prescription medicine

Baby items such as diapers and formula

First-aid supplies

Heating fuel: refuel before you are empty; fuel carriers may not reach you for days after a winter storm

Emergency heat source: fireplace, wood stove, space heater, properly ventilated to prevent a fire

Fire extinguisher, smoke alarm; test smoke alarms once a month to ensure they work properly

Extra pet food and warm shelter for pets

Auto Winter Preparedness: Plan your travel and check
the latest weather reports to avoid the storm. Fully
check and winterize your vehicle before the winter season begins. Keep your gas tank near full to avoid ice in
the tank and fuel lines. Avoid traveling alone. Let
someone know your timetable and primary and alternate routes. It is recommended that you carry a Winter
Storm Survival Kit with the following items:

Mobile phone, charger, batteries

Blankets/sleeping bags

Flashlight with extra batteries

SAFETY SPOTLIGHT
This month’s Safety Spotlight is on Port Captain Mike
Golden of Millennium Maritime.
About Mike:
Mike began his maritime career 35
years ago, working on commercial
purse seiners when he was fresh out of
high school. He made the switch to
tugs when there were four crew members on every vessel, and he quickly became an assistant engineer, then
engineer, and then into the wheelhouse where he honed
his skills as a mate and then captain. Mike worked for
Wilmington Transportation before coming to Millennium Maritime in 2000. For the last 20 years, Mike has
operated single screw wooden tugs, a combi tug, twin
screw vessels and tractor tugs.
Safety Q&A
Tell me what safety means to you
I believe in doing things the right way. If you’re doing it the
right way, you’re doing it the safe way. Safety comes first!
Safety has to be a way of life on and off the job. You can’t cut
corners or compromise on safety.
How do you communicate safety to the crews?
I make every decision with safety in mind and I expect the
same from my crew. Safety is my first priority and I let them
know it. My job is to perform to the best of my ability, do it
safely, preserve the health and safety of my fellow shipmates,
protect the company’s equipment and protect the environment. I urge them to keep an open mind, learn from others,
communicate safety every time they see a need and to always
maintain spatial awareness.
Doug Houghton, G.M. of Millennium Maritime:
“Mike and I meet daily to discuss operational and safety
updates within our fleet. Mike is always looking for safer ways to run our operation, whether it’s safer access
to the equipment, better lighting or contrasting paint.
Mike’s priority is to make the suggested improvements a
reality.”
Andre Nault, California Regional Safety Manager:
“One of the main things I have always appreciated
about Mike is his ability to mentor new crew members
and other captains new to operating tractor tugs. He is
a seasoned veteran with patience, a great attitude, and
he enjoys passing on his knowledge and love of the maritime industry to others.”
3
Any thoughts you want to add about the safety culture
aboard your vessel or at MMI?
Like I said, “do it right, do it safe”. Safety is everybody’s
responsibility all the time. Don’t look at safety classes,
courses, meetings, and company or industry requirements as
an inconvenience. Safety is mandatory! Be grateful that people are looking out for you and take safety seriously. Look
out for each other. It may save your life or that of a fellow
shipmate. Everyone wants to go home safe, so do the right
thing!

SAFETY CORNER
Safety Tip – Timothy Picou
Visitors
When you allow visitors aboard your vessel, you should always complete a Visitor Safety Orientation on the fire equipment, escape openings, first-aid kits and fire plan. Walk through the boat so they are familiar with vessel, so if there were
to be an emergency they know where to go and the locations of life vests. Have them sign in on the Vessel Visitor Log.
You are responsible for your visitor’s safety, but also for the safety of your crew. Never let visitors go around vessel without an employee escorting them as they are not familiar with vessel and could pose a threat to your employees.
Safety Article – Timothy Picou
Working In The Rain
Employees working in the rain face additional hazards, such as reduced visibility and wet slippery conditions. Here is a
list of safety tips that might help prevent accidents and injuries.
1. Move slowly and carefully when working in rain, our natural instinct is to try to do job more quickly to hurry and get
out of weather. However, because rain makes everything slippery, you should do the opposite - work slowly and deliberately to prevent slipping and falling, especially while climbing ladders.
2. Always use correct equipment. Do not use electrical tools that are not specifically rated for outdoor use, especially
when working in rain. When using hand tools, use tools with textured, nonslip grip handles.
3. Wear appropriate rain gear. If you are cold and wet you are likely ready to be out of the weather and are concentrating
less on the job (head not in the game). Rain coats and pants which are insulated should be worn. If it is cold and rainy,
wool or synthetic fibers designed for cold weather should be worn under rain gear because it will keep you warm even if it
gets wet.
4. Wear appropriate foot wear. Shoes designed for wet working conditions to prevent slips should have deep treads. To
prevent water from getting into shoes, make sure the shoe or boot extends above the ankle and rain gear extends to the ankles.
5. Use proper hand protection. When doing work requiring sure grip, wear gloves that fit snugly and provide a nonslip
grip. To prevent water from entering gloves make sure that gloves fit tight or glove is long enough to fit inside sleeve of
rain gear.
6. Ensure that you can see. If wearing goggles or safety glasses, use anti-fogging sprays or wipes on them before going
outside and make sure where you are going to work is well lit. If needed, use lights that are rated for outside. Wearing
hoods can reduce all around visibility so turn head side to side and up and down to see all corners.

Glaucoma Awareness Month
What is Glaucoma? An eye disease that steals sight without warning. It is caused by vision
loss to the optic nerve. The optic nerve is responsible for carrying images from the eye to the brain. Increased
pressure inside the eye leads to loss of sight.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness,
there are often no symptoms
The BEST Way to protect yourself from developing Glaucoma is to receive a comprehensive eye exam!
Under Harley Marine’s Medical Plan Employees Can Receive One Free Eye Exam a Year!!
Take advantage of your healthcare.
Vision is VITAL to promoting safety practices at Harley Marine!
TAKE CARE OF YOUR EYES

Eat leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach and oily fish such as tuna and salmon

Quit smoking! Smokers are more susceptible to cataracts and optic nerve damage

Wear sun glasses to protect your eyes from UV rays

Look away from the computer screen frequently, position your computer so that your eyes are
level with the top of the monitor

7
Use safety eyewear when working with hazardous or airborne materials

HMS HOLIDAY CELEBRATIONS!
Throughout the month of December, employees from each port location planned and participated in festive celebrations to
get into the holiday spirit and commemorate the end of another fantastic year at Harley Marine Services. In Seattle, the holiday gathering also served as a special retirement party for Steve Springman whose retirement commences in January. Steve
has worked for Olympic Tug & Barge for 25 years, most recently as a Purchasing Agent and Technical Advisor. HMS
would like to wish Steve and his family a wonderful year ahead as he embarks on this new and exciting chapter in his life!

DANGEROUS FATS
By Danielle Peterson, Executive Assistant
Last month we discussed which fats are nourishing and should be included in your diet. This month, we focus on some of the
bad, less favorable fats.
Fats that should be avoided:
Polyunsaturated oils – e.g. canola, sunflower, safflower, soy, and corn oil. It is not
necessarily the oils that are dangerous but rather, the processing! Vegetable oils, like
canola oil go through an extensive extraction process that includes very high temperatures and hexane, a derivative of petroleum that may cause impaired fertility and central nervous system depression, among other serious health dangers. This process of
extraction changes the molecular form of these fatty acids into dangerous free radicals.
Hydrogenated oils – e.g. fried foods, processed baked goods and processed snack
foods. To fulfill this process, manufacturers use the previously mentioned oils that are
already rancid from the extraction process and mix them with tiny metal particles
(usually nickel oxide). The oil is then exposed to hydrogen gas. Next, it is combined
with soap-like emulsifiers and starch which are squeezed into the mixture to give it a
better consistency. The oil is then steam-cleaned to remove its foul, rancid odor. The
chemical changes that occur during the hydrogenation process create trans fats. Trans
fats can lead to coronary heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, type 2 diabetes, obesity,
liver dysfunction, infertility in women, and major depressive disorder.
By reducing or eliminating these fats from your diet, you can lower unnecessary health risks and take the first step toward
achieving better overall health and wellness.

A THANK YOU FROM HOUSTON!
Every year, as part of Harley Marine Services’ Annual Co-Worker Appreciation Week, each
HMS company donates $1,000.00 to a local food bank or other valuable charity in their region.
This year in return, Harley Marine was fortunate enough to receive the following comment
from Jennifer Reeves (pictured near right with Hannah Hill of Harley Marine Gulf), the financial coordinator of The Houston Food Bank.
“[At the Houston Food Bank] $1 feeds three people. With the $1,000.00 donation from Harley
Marine, we fed 3,000 people! The Houston Food Bank is a non-profit organization that feeds the hungry by seeking food
donations and distributing them to nearly 600 hunger relief programs in 18 southeast Texas counties. Founded in 1982, the
organization helps 800,000 individuals each year through food pantries, shelters, soup kitchens and other meal sites. I want
to thank Harley for this donation. For the last three years this has been a great experience for me to come across.
Thank you!

What’s YOUR Resolution?
Whether you make New Year’s Resolutions or not, there is always time to reflect over the past year and
think about improvements for the New Year.
This year, Harley Marine HR encourages employees to reflect on their work life balance.
Work life balance has been defined as:
Obtaining daily achievement and enjoyment in each of the four quadrants of life: Work, Family,
Friends and Self
Ideally we would feel achievement and enjoyment in each of these four quadrants daily, but this is unrealistic for most. Reflect over the past year and think about where you have achieved or lacked achievement and enjoyment. What in your personal life effected your work performance and what in your work
life has influenced your personal life? What can you cut out of your schedule to allow time to focus on a
different ‘quadrant’ of life? Make a resolution to improve your work life balance by changing one
(reasonable) behavior or pattern! Review below for suggestions.
Work
Life

Take charge of a department project to
feel a sense of achievement

Set aside time to spend time with your
family as a whole

Go the extra mile and help out a crewmember or teammate with their job

Manage your work load so you can attend kids sports games and events

Get to know your co-workers and crew


Overwhelmed? Work with your manager
or HR on making your job more manageable
Cut out negative influences in your life
and spend more time reconnecting with
positive people

Work on your health! Exercise and nutrition is a start, but plan on scheduling
periodic dentist appointments and annual physicals

Take time for your self to relax and do
what you enjoy!

Take part in the mentoring program and
develop relationships that will help advance your career

2015 Financial Resolutions
For Your 401(k) Retirement
Plan
(From Mark Stiefel, Chair of Harley Marine Services Employee 401(k) Advisory Committee. This is general advice only and not a guarantee of a specific outcome. You should seek professional advice prior to investing. Refer to
the plan documents for the actual features of the plan.)
1. Enroll in the 401(k) plan if you are eligible and have not already signed
up. The earlier you start investing in the 401(k) plan, the more likely
you are to build up sufficient funds for retirement. Remember, people
are living longer now so plan for a long retirement.
2. Review your deferral rate and increase it regularly, even if by a small
amount. When you retire, you will be thankful for making the extra investments.
3. Defer at least 5% of your pay to obtain the maximum company match.
However, Fidelity Investments suggests deferring 10 – 15% of salary in
order to have a high probability of meeting income needs through the
end of retirement. If you defer 10%, then the company match will get
you to a total investment of 15%.
4. Rebalance your portfolio regularly and sign up for periodic rebalancing.
5. Review your investments and make sure they are suitable for your risk
tolerance, financial position and age. Discuss your account annually
with the Kibble and Prentice education specialist. Consider investing in
one of the model portfolios based on you risk tolerance or invest in the
Vanguard Target Retirement Funds based on your retirement age.
6. Use an online calculator to make sure you are on target to achieve your
retirement goals.
7. Resist the urge to borrow money from your 401(k) as the borrowed money reduces your investment base and may result in a lower investment
balance upon retirement. Borrow money from other available sources
first.
8. Review your quarterly statements and celebrate your investment successes!

I would like to send kudos to the crews both in the Tom Appleton Marine Maintenance Repair Center as well as the crew aboard the CF CAMPBELL for doing
such an outstanding job of repairing and preparing the OLYMPIC SPIRIT for her
new charter with Tesoro. Along with a drop and vac and generator replacement,
many maintenance and repair items were completed on the barge and the VRU to
put the unit in ‘charter condition’ for her new assignment. And it has all been accomplished in less than a week. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication.
I am privileged to be part of such a ‘we will make it work - we can get it done’

Harbor Island Blood Drive January 23, 2015
Harley Marine WHQ is partnering with our Harbor Island neighbors Vigor and Crowley to put on a
Harbor Island Blood Drive! Harley employees around the country are encouraged to look into donating blood.
The ‘blood bus’ will be collecting donations at WHQ on the morning of January 23rd!
Look out on the Wellness board for a sign up sheet on the 3rd Floor.
Why it’s important to donate blood:



Blood products cannot be stored indefinitely, they have a short shelf life.
Many people don’t think they will ever need blood, but many do. Donating is a good way to help ensure blood is available to those who need it
now!
Blood is something most people can spare, yet there is still not enough to
go around
How to Prepare Yourself to Give Blood





A single pint of blood can sustain a premature infant’s
life for two weeks!
You could save up to three lives with a single dona-
Make sure you are hydrated
tion!
Bring the names of any medications you are taking
Bring a form of identification
Do not give blood if you have donated 8 weeks prior to the blood drive
Make sure you have 45 minutes-1 hour carved out of your day in case you need time to recover
after donating
Donate and receive one of
these awesome stickers!

DECEMBER EMPLOYEE OF
THE MONTH
The crew of the MILLENNIUM DAWN would like to nominate
Mark Main as Olympic Tug & Barge employee of the month.
Mark has worked on the MILLENNIUM DAWN for over a year
as the engineer, and his skills as an engineer have advanced tremendously. He has been a great help as the second man out on the
barge while doing cargo operations, and still manages his time so
that he is able to maintain the engine room to a high standard.
A view of Elliott Bay from the HMS World Headquarters in
Seattle.
He has been very accommodating with his schedule when lending
an extra hand with ship assists. Mark always has a positive attitude and great work ethic. His deck skills have exceeded expectation and he always is looking for more ways to improve.
Congratulations, Mark! Keep up the good work!

CELEBRATE GREEN!
By Victoria Hall-Clinton, HSQE Coordinator
No matter who you are or where you live, chances are you’ll be celebrating during
the holiday season. All the hustle and bustle can mean that we forget to consider
our impact on the environment as we go about our holiday activities.
Environmental Awareness During the Holidays
Whether you’re spending your holiday shoreside or aboard a vessel, if you’re likely to be enjoying meals using disposable plates and silverware, consider biodegradable paper plates which can be composted along with your leaves, produce
scraps, and coffee grounds.
A Full Service Maritime Company
www.harleymarine.com
Editor: Heather Holmes
[email protected]
Depending on the individual regions, some vessels may not have composting bins,
but by using regular dishes and flatware rather than paper or plastic you can help
reduce your carbon footprint.
When faced with the daunting task of throwing out food scraps, packaging up leftovers, and cleaning up piles of dishes, remember that even this part of the day can
be environmentally-friendly!
Much of your food waste can be composted depending upon your municipality
rules. Just be sure not to put any meat or bones in your compost pile. If meat
compost isn’t allowed where you are, save your meat scraps for leftover sandwiches, soups, or stews. Also, using a dishwasher is actually more environmentally friendly than washing each dish by hand. You’ll use much less soap and
about 80% less water.
Just by making a few simple changes, we can all do our part to reduce our impact
on the environment and help make our holiday season a little brighter!
