Weston and Bristol working together to make a differenceIn June, a levee on the Missouri River ruptured, swiftly cov-

ering the surrounding flatlands of rural Iowa. Within hours, homes, farms and highways were submerged as the water rose, and residents of Hamburg, a community of about 1,200, scrambled to evacuate to higher ground. Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON) and the US Army Corps of Engineers®(USACE) Omaha District quickly mobilized to build temporary levees, effectively holding back the floodwaters and saving the small town.

Although sandbags and dirt helped keep the high waters at bay, they would not be welcome at Hamburg’s charming 51st Annual Popcorn Day celebration, held in early September. In response, volunteers from the WESTON-Bristol Mentor-Protégé team and USACE's Omaha District returned to help support the community and clean up the down-town area to prepare for this much-loved event.

On September 7, more than 40 team members arrived to whip Hamburg’s Main Street into shape. Volunteers removed hundreds of sand-bags and piles of dirt from the levees, painted ballfield bleachers and concession buildings, and installed a new fence around the baseball diamond. Local residents, thankful for the extra hands, provided water and snacks to workers. “As we were moving sand-bags today, local business owners were coming out to tell us how appreciative they were,” said Bristol's Steve Townsend.

The crew was also thanked by Hamburg Mayor Cathy Crain, who told the group the town had been revived. “We are so happy to have had you here today!”

Bristol Accepted Into Elite Safety Program

The Occupational Safety and Health Ad-ministration (OSHA) recently accepted Bristol into its Voluntary Protection Program at the Star level. The honor places Bristol’s employee Health and Safety program at the highest level of achievement offered by the program, and recognizes the team’s dedication to safety during the construction of a heavy-duty ve-hicle maintenance facility at Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Washington. The program “recognizes and partners with businesses and worksites that show excellence in occupational safety and health.” Participants rate at least 50-percent below the industry average for lost workday incidents.

At the October 24 ceremony, Dean Ikeda, Acting Regional Administrator of Seattle's OSHA Region 10, spoke about the team’s dedi-cation and commended Bristol employees and management for working together to eliminate workplace hazards. “This mutual commitment pays dividends in the form of fewer injuries and illnesses,” he said.

Within Region 10 (where JBLM is located), only one other construction company has achieved Star status. Additionally, fewer than 2,500 companies across multiple industries in the United States currently meet the criteria for Voluntary Protection Program recognition.

Outlook

U n i t e d b y E x c e l l e n c e

Over the past few months, you might have noticed some changes in the way Bristol is presented to the world. We are a unique company, one with a lot of activity spread across the country. But we’re united in our efforts to provide consistent, quality service to our clients.

Moving forward, we want to ensure that the Bristol our clients meet in North Carolina is the same Bristol they see in our offices in Alaska, Washington, Colo-rado, Texas, or on a job site. The marketplace is always changing, and we’re anticipating these shifts by refin-ing our marketing approach, with both current and new clients. In order to reinforce our streamlined capabilities,

talented workforce and depth of experience, we’ve shift-ed our focus to market Bristol’s service lines instead of specific companies, updated the look and content of our marketing materials, and unveiled a new Bristol logo.

These are just a few of the many internal initiatives we’re implementing to help move us from where we’ve been to where we want to go. As Bristol continues to grow, we will need to keep the momentum of positive change going. It is, and will continue to be, a key to our success.

In July, Bristol was awarded a contract for the mobile, live-fire Joint Maritime Training System Ship on Land. The $8 million project is located at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and is through the Program Manager for Training Systems (PMTRASYS), a branch of the Marine Corps.

The Ship on Land is an anti-piracy training device, that will be a unique vehicle for educating troops. It is designed to enhance the training of units that are preparing for Vessel Search and Seizure operations while deployed on missions around the world. Bristol will oversee design, fabrication, delivery, assembly, and testing of the facility. Additional duties will include program management, engineering, and logistics-support planning.

The Ship on Land’s 12,000-square foot, multi-level, self-contained, live-fire shoot house will simu-late realistic shipboard scenarios that troops could encounter during anti-piracy operations. The facility consists of a 360-degree shoot house with ballistic containment material for live-fire training. Additionally, it will contain 15 targets, 30 bullet traps, 15 dummy dumpers, and a public address system. Ballistic furniture, atmospheric set dressings, and sound effect simulators will create an authentic experience for trainees.

The Ship on Land is currently the only training system of its kind, and will offer a unique opportunity for Marines to gain critical skills and experience in a lifelike setting. The project is tentatively scheduled for completion in August 2012.

Contest broadens dialogue on issues facing Bristol Bay regionResulting video showcases views, values of Bristol Bay shareholders

In late September, Bristol Bay Native Corporation (BBNC) gave away video cameras to their shareholders as part of “Day in Our Bay,” a community video event that has given Bristol Bay residents an innovative way to share their views with the world.

The project encouraged shareholders to document their lives and feelings about their land on a single day – October 15. “We wanted to do something special for our 40th anniversary, and this project provides a unique op-portunity for Alaskans who live in the Bristol Bay region to share their voices and values with the world,” said BBNC President and CEO Jason Metrokin.

The final video was crafted from more than 70 hours of footage captured by 62 shareholders and 11 video mentors from 14 different villages across the Bristol Bay region. It premiered at the Anchorage International Film

Festival to a sold-out crowd on December 2. The project was produced by BBNC, with project coordination and development support from the Bristol Creative Services division of Bristol Industries, LLC. For more information, visit BBNC.net or dayinourbay.org.

An Unexpected SurpriseEarly this summer, Bristol Range and UXO staff encountered this four-and-a-half-foot long Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake while working at Camp LeJuene, North Carolina. The East-ern Diamondback is an endangered species, so team members simply gave him a wide berth, allowing him to move on. This is the second rattlesnake of this kind the group has found at the site; an earlier Diamondback was discovered beneath a target on one of LeJuene’s practice ranges. The snake had to be moved so work could continue, so Bristol contacted the local Fish and Wildlife office, which removed the reptile and safely relocated him.
