Gulfport At a GLANCE Where City employees get their news Mayor’s Note Benefits Buzz: 2-3 Workplace Wellness JUNE/JULY 2012 City News Lights & Sirens: 6-7 Fire & Police News
In recent weeks, we have achieved many great things thanks to the hard work of our dedicated employees. Inside this edition of Gulfport at a Glance you will learn about several of those achievements, includ- ing the opening of our newly restored Jones Park.
On page 5, Fire Chief Mike Beyerstedt writes about the employee party on May 15, which offered our employees and their families a first look at the park just days before it was to host the 2012 Gulfport Music Fes- tival. That weekend, more than 30,000 people came to Jones Park for the Music Festival, which would not have been possible without our Lei- sure Services and Harbor employees, who worked frantically in the days leading up to the festival to prepare the park. When the festival gates open, these employees simply worked harder, making sure our park was clean at all times. The Gulfport Police Department put into action a fantastic and well- organized plan for traffic and safety, and the festival weekend ended with only a few minor incidents. A week after the festival, thousands more returned to Jones Park for the Sounds by the Sea concert. The annual Memorial Day weekend concert provided a perfect opportunity for the city to officially cut a ribbon on Jones Park. On page 4, you can read more about the work Leisure Services provid- ed
for these exciting events. Also in June we received very good news when the Gulfport Redevel- opment Commission and Glastonbury LLC announced a new lease agreement that will allow the private company to begin developing Centennial Plaza, which many of you know as the former VA property on the beach. There will be additional news in the coming weeks about the future of Centennial Plaza, but for now the City of Gulfport is very excited about this new partnership and we look forward to a bright future with Glas- tonbury. We hope you enjoy this issue of Gulfport At a Glance, and thank you for all that you do to make Gulfport great. Sincerely,

Small changes can make a big difference to your health and wellness. If people made the choices to eat better, engage in more physical activity, reduce the harmful use of alcohol and quit smoking, at least 80% of all heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes, and over a third of cancers could be prevented according to the World Health Organi- zation. Poor eating habits and lack of physical activity are the major contributing fac- tors to being overweight and obese in the U.S.
Healthy eating can reduce the risk of chronic illness and disease, including the three leading causes of death: heart disease, cancer and stroke. Healthy eating tips include:
Make half of the grains you eat whole grains such as whole wheat bread, oatmeal and brown rice. Choose fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt or cheese. Drink water instead of sugary drinks. Choose lean sources of protein- such as seafood, turkey and chicken breast, eggs and beans. Choose foods with less sodium. Look for “low sodium” and “no salt added” on food packages. Eat some seafood each week such as salmon, tuna or crab. Pay attention to portion size. When eating out, avoid “supersizing” your meal or take some home for later.
For substantial health benefits, adults are encouraged to engage in 30 minutes of mod- erate exercise* five days a week. This can be done through activities such as:
• Taking a brisk walk at lunch • Going for a bike ride after work • Working in the yard • Cleaning the house
arthritis, diabetes, or other symptoms, talk with your doctor about the types and amounts of physical activity right for you. Reprinted with permission from the National Safety Council Did You Know? If you are overweight, losing just 5-7 percent of body weight (10 - 15 lbs for a 200 lb person) can reduce your risk of diabe- tes.

Low sodium diets have blood pressure lowering benefits. It is recommended to consume less than one teaspoon of table salt per day. ( National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute) Physical activity not only helps control your blood pressure, it also helps you manage your weight, strengthen your heart and manage your stress level. • Going to the gym • Swimming laps at the pool • Joining a sports league 3 GRILLING SAFETY TIPS Safety Tips Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors. The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railing and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. Keep children and pets away from the grill area. Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. Never leave your grill unattended. Charcoal Grills There are several ways to prepare charcoal for use. Charcoal chimney starters allow
you to start the charcoal using newspaper as a fuel. If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire. Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources. There are also electric charcoal starters which do not use fire. Be sure to use an extension cord for outdoor use. When you are finished grilling, let the coals cool completely before disposing in a metal container.
Over 265 senior citizens from the six coastal counties participated in the 2012 Mississippi Gulf Coast Senior Games held April 10th - 14th. These active seniors ranging from ages 50 to 91 participated in many different events including ballroom dancing to 3-on-3 basketball to horseshoes. Each site location hosted an activity with the Gulfport Senior Center and Westside Community Center hosting the shuffle- board, horseshoes and table tennis activities.

Summer is upon us and the boating world is gearing up for another wonderful season on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Here at the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor, we too are gearing up and see- ing a significant increase in boating traffic both in and out of the harbor’s slips and at the boat launch, which is now fully open. With the recent Music Festival, followed shortly thereafter by the Gulf Coast Symphony's “Sounds by the Sea”, there has been a huge increase in transient boating traffic.
In reference to the Music Festival, the Harbor's Pier Five became party central as that dock saw a weekend increase of nearly thirty boats ranging in size from 25 - 75 feet. Those who brought their boats in for the festival said they had a wonderful time and that they'll surely be back next year!
As it turned out, a few of those boats decided to stay with us on a full time basis!
off in full swing, everyone who is going boating over the next few months needs to remember to:
Have a serviceable life jacket for everyone on board.
Leave a float plan with someone who will realize it if you're late in returning. Have a means of communication on board (at least a cell phone, preferably a VHF radio tuned to channel 16). Keep an eye on the weather. Afternoon thunderstorms in the Mississippi Sound can result in a bad ending to a perfect day.
Don't become a statistic, but rather do everything necessary to ensure you keep yourselves and your guests happy, dry, and safe.
Remember: There's always another day and another weekend.
Don't forget to teach your children everything and anything about water safety. Whether on a boat, at the beach, up the river, or in a swimming pool, kids can get quickly distracted and not realize they've ventured into unsafe waters. A watchful eye by their caregivers
is in order at all times and under all circumstances.
From all of us at the Gulfport Small Craft Harbor, please have a safe and fun summ er!!

UNVEILING OF JONES PARK
868.5950/mbeyerstedt@gulfport-ms.gov
In 1935 Grace Jones Stewart donated the tract of land to Gulfport that is now known as “Jones Park” so there would always be recreational opportunities for the citizens of Gulfport. An event that has been 77 years in the making took place on Tuesday, May 15th in Jones Park: The “Front Yard of Missis- sippi” was unveiled for our employees and family members in an evening of music, delicious food and all around good, clean family fun.
Surely, the Jones family must have been smiling down that evening as their dreams from 1935 came to fruition. One of our own retirees, Donny Jenkins, oversaw a host of volunteer cooks who traded in their titles as department directors for the evening to serve our employees who came out to see the new Jones Park.
Employees were entertained by the band Hello Newman, with a familiar face, that of our own Public Information Officer, Ryan Lafontaine, while they enjoyed a feast of southern fried catfish, hush pup- pies, potato salad, baked beans, grilled hot dogs, and other fixings.
The Fire and Police Departments provided tours of the park to hundreds of people in the Gulfport Fire Department’s antique fire truck and the Gulfport Police Department’s DARE train. Laughter was once again heard echoing through Jones Park as children cooled themselves in the newly opened splash pad. It was truly a memorable and wonderful evening for everyone who attended.

POLICE DEPARTMENT

The
Gulfport Police Department came together with other commu- nities across the United States during National Police Week to hon- or and remember those law enforcement officers who made the ulti- mate sacrifice, as well as the family members, friends and fellow of- ficers they left behind. This year, the names of 362 officers killed in the line of duty were added to the National Law Enforcement Offic- ers Memorial in Washington, DC. These 362 officers include 162 officers who were killed during 2011, plus 199 officers who died in previous years but whose stories of sacrifice had been lost to history until now. Of these names, four Mississippi Law Enforcement Offic- ers were added to the monument. On Tuesday, May 15, 2012 on the front steps of the Robert J. Curry Public Safety Center a cere- mony was held to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the City of Gulfport. We have tragically lost 8 officers over a 13 decade span. We continue to mourn and hold measures to prevent this from happening in the future. As stated by Deputy Chief of Police Leonard Pa- pania, “This is more than just a ceremony for us. It is how we hold on to our fallen and keep their legacy alive.”
Runners bearing the Flame of Hope headed to the Coast to kick off the Mississippi Special Olympics Summer Games at Keesler Air Force Base. The Law Enforcement Officers’ Annual Torch Run is a show of support for some 1,200 ath- letes who are children and adults with intellectual disabili- ties. The Gulfport Police Department and Gulfport Fire De- partment took the Torch on Friday May 11, 2012 on U.S. Hwy 90 at the edge of Long Beach and ran it to DeBuys Road handing it off to the Biloxi Police Department.

7 LIGHTS & SIRENS: Fire & Police News POLICE DEPARTMENT by Mandy Keenan 868.5827/mkeenan@gulfport-ms.gov Police Employees of the Month Congratulations to Susan Swear on her recognition as Civilian Employee of the Month for April 2012. In July 2011, Susan was hired as the Grant Coordinator and immediately became a valuable asset. Since she has been in this position, the department has been given numerous ac- colades, which can be directly related to her outstanding job performance. Susan shows genuine gratitude and enthusiasm every day. Employees from other depart- ments have complimented how well she communicates and facilitates the grants. Susan’s hard work is greatly appreciated, which makes her an epitome of what all employees at the Police Department should aspire to become.
as Civilian Employee of the Month for March 2012. Lark has worked for the City of Gulfport since June 1993. She is currently assigned as the Court Liai- son in the Support Bureau. Her organizational skills have proven to be crucial for the department and her recordkeeping and job knowledge has saved the Police Department thousands of dollars over the years. As a dedicated employee Lark is not only watching out for the Police Department’s budget, but she cares enough to watch out for our front line troops as well. She always completes her assign- ments on time and readily assists anyone who may need it, without complaining. Lark is a valuable as- set to her department, and her hard work and dili- gence is highly appreciated.
Officer Elfren Acosta was recognized as Officer of the month for March 2012. He has been employed with the City of Gulfport Police Department for 9 - 1/2 years in the Patrol Division. Officer Acosta has been a Field Training Officer for several years and has also served in specialized units within the de- partment. During the month of March, he made four significant arrests in two separate incidents. His quick response and alertness while in the areas at the times that these crimes occurred made it pos- sible to find the suspects. Through his effort and hard work, he was able to put an end to the crime sprees. Officer Acosta is a valuable asset to the Gulfport Police Department, has a positive attitude towards his job, and shows a true passion for his job, which is evident in his strong work ethic. Officer Acosta sheds a positive professional light on the department and the city.
Detective Rachel Evelyn was recognized as Of- ficer of the Month for April 2012. She has been employed with the City for approximately 5 years and has been assigned to the Criminal Investiga- tion Division for a little over a year. Detective Evelyn was recently assigned to conduct a follow up investigation to a burglary which occurred four days prior where multiple firearms were taken. Through her diligent effort and multiple interviews she identified a possible suspect who was only known by a nickname. She was able to take the suspect into custody. The suspect ultimately con- fessed and identified yet another suspect who was also arrested and confessed to the crime identifying a third suspect by nickname only. De- tective Evelyn continued to investigate this case with the veracity of a seasoned investigator, knowing the importance of not only bringing clo- sure to the victim, but removing these firearms from the streets. It is through diligent work such as Detective Evelyn’s that the quality of life con- tinues to improve for the citizens of our communi- ty.

Anita’s Farewell Anita Petty Planner II To the City of Gulfport employees, Urban Development Directors, Managers, and especially my co- workers in the Planning Division - I would like to let you know how much I have enjoyed working with all of you. I started off as a secretary in the Planning Division and worked my way up to Planner II with the help of many capable people. What began as a three or four year working period, for me, turned out to be nearly ten years. The longer I stayed the more I learned and wanted to stay a little longer. Though I look forward to retirement, my leaving is bittersweet. Still, the time has now come for me to say goodbye and to express my sincere thanks and appreciation in having the pleasure of working with each of you and for the City of Gulfport. ~ Anita
9 URBAN DEVELOPMENT By Veronica Weaver 868.4285/vweaver @gulfport-ms.gov How did you come to work for the City?
I had a small child at the time. With the City, there was no weekend work and the time off worked well with school holidays. I was also interested in the retirement plan; I guess you could say the benefits.
What are the duties you typically do each day? Anything and everything; I manage permitting and handle administrative work for the depart- ment.
Code Services? Seventeen and a half years. What are some of the biggest changes you’ve witnessed in the department? The department has progressed tremendously since I started. We have gone from hand writ- ten permits to being computerized for every- thing. We have increased staffing from eight to twenty-nine. That shows real growth! What are your plans for retirement? No schedule! My plans are to do what I want, when I want to and just enjoy my family and friends. If you could give one piece of advice on how to have a successful career, what would it be? Love your work and never forget who signs your paycheck. Words of Wisdom
An exit interview with Permit Manager Joanne Fayard Plans for the City
Deputy Planning Administrator Greg Holmes What are some recent events in our City’s Plan- ning Department?
SmartCode was recently repealed from Mississip- pi City, Hansboro, and the Old Gulfport commu- nities. However, SmartCode remains in effect for the Westside and Florence Garden community plans. As for those areas that were changed, the existing transect zones were incorporated into traditional zoning.
What new planning developments do you fore- see?
The Planning Division is in the process of updat- ing regulations in the Zoning Ordinance. These updates are vital to ensure that the regulations are current and able to meet present day issues.
What does the future hold for Gulfport, including challenges and opportunities?
I feel that the future is bright for the City. With some of the recent ordinance changes that have been approved, developers will find that it is easi- er to do business in Gulfport.
How did you become interested in Urban Plan- ning?
I originally went to The University of Southern Mississippi with the plan to become a Geography teacher. However, a chance meeting with the Dean of the Community and Regional Planning Department led to me sitting in on some planning classes. After that day, I changed my major and the rest is history.
What are your hobbies and interests? I am a huge sports fan! My favorite team is the Dallas Cowboys. 10

Heat Illness: Nothing to Fool Around With! People suffer heat-related illness when their bodies are unable to compensate and properly cool themselves. The body nor- mally cools itself by sweating. But under some conditions, sweating just isn't enough. In such cases, a person's body tempera- ture rises rapidly. Very high body temperatures may damage the brain or other vital organs.
Several factors affect the body's ability to cool itself during extremely hot weather. When the humidity is high, sweat will not evaporate as quickly, preventing the body from releasing heat quickly. Other conditions related to risk include age, obesity, fever, dehydration, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, sunburn, and prescription drug and alcohol use.
To protect your health when temperatures are extremely high, remember to keep cool and use common sense. The following tips are important: Drink Plenty of Fluids During hot weather you will need to increase your fluid intake, regardless of your activity lev- el. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. During heavy exercise in a hot environment, drink two to four glasses (16-32 ounces) of cool fluids each hour. Warning: If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask how much you should drink while the weather is hot. Don't drink liquids that contain alcohol, or large amounts of sugar as these actually cause you to lose more body fluid. Also avoid very cold drinks, because they can cause stomach cramps. Replace Salt and Minerals Heavy sweating removes salt and minerals from the body. These are necessary for your body and must be replaced. If you must exercise, drink two to four glasses of cool, non-alcoholic fluids each hour. A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat. However, if you are on a low-salt diet, talk with your doctor before drinking a sports beverage or taking salt tablets.
Wear as little clothing as possible when you are at home. Choose lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing. Sun- burn affects your body's ability to cool itself and causes a loss of body fluids. It also causes pain and damages the skin. If you must go outdoors, protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat (it keeps you cooler) along with sunglasses. 30 minutes prior to going outside apply sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher (the most effective products say "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB protection" on the label). Continue to reapply it according to the package directions.
If you must be outdoors, try to limit your outdoor activity to morning and evening hours. Try to rest often in shady areas so your body's thermostat will have a chance to recover.
11
When working in the heat, monitor the condition of your co-workers and have someone do the same for you. Heat-induced illness can cause a person to become confused or lose con- sciousness. If you are 65 years of age or older, have a friend or relative call to check on you twice a day during a heat wave. If you know someone in this age group, check on them at least twice a day.
Although anyone at any time can suffer from heat-related illness, some people are at greater risk than others: Infants and young children are sensitive to the effects of high temperatures and rely on others to regulate their envi- ronments and provide adequate liquids. People 65 years of age or older may not compensate for heat stress efficiently and are less likely to sense and respond to change in temperature. People who are overweight may be prone to heat sickness because of their tendency to retain more body heat. People who overexert during work or exercise may become dehydrated and susceptible to heat sickness. People who are physically ill, especially with heart disease or high blood pressure, or who take certain medications, such as for depression, insomnia, or poor circulation, may be affected by extreme heat.

JULY IS EYE SAFETY MONTH Keep an Eye on Ultraviolet (UV) Safety
We all use sunscreen to protect our skin during the warmer months, but don't forget to protect your eyes as well. Summertime means more time spent outdoors, and studies show that exposure to bright sunlight may increase the risk of developing cataracts, age-related macular degeneration and growths on the eye, including cancer. The same risk applies when using tanning beds, so be sure to protect your eyes from indoor UV light as well.
Michael Kutryb, MD, an ophthalmologist in Edgewater, Florida and clinical correspondent for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “Many people are unaware of the dangers UV light can pose. By wearing UV-blocking sunglasses, you can enjoy the summer safely while lowering your risk for potentially blinding eye diseases and tumors." It is important to start wearing proper eye protection at an early age to protect your eyes from years of ultraviolet exposure.
Follow these tips to protect your eyes from the sun: Select sunglasses that block UV rays. Don’t be deceived by color or cost. The ability to block UV light is not dependent on the price tag or how dark the sunglasses lenses are. Make sure your sunglasses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Choose wraparound styles. Ideally, sunglasses should wrap all the way around to your temples, so the sun’s rays can’t enter from the side. Wear a hat in addition to your sunglasses. Broad-brimmed styles provide the best protection for your eyes. Don’t be fooled by clouds: the sun’s rays can pass through the haze and thin clouds. Sun damage to eyes can occur anytime during the year, not just in the summertime so, be sure to wear sunglasses whenever you’re outside. NEVER look directly at the sun. Looking directly at the sun at ANY time, including during an eclipse, can lead to solar retinopathy, which is dam- age to the eye’s retina from solar radiation. Don't forget the children and older family members: everyone is at risk. Protect their eyes with hats and sunglasses. Take special care at peak sun times between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
