Hakola said ing inter-agenc- y this gives employees the chance to see what other agencies are doing. "Many employees find these a good way to meet people in other agencies and find new ways of approaching similar problems," she said. In Washington, D.C., a three-da- y blitz is scheduled. "The National Mall will be taken over for three days to highlight the contributions of government workers," Hakola said. "We'll have everything from tanks and helicopters to weather balloons and how money is made. The Beagle Brigade from the Department of Agriculture will demonstrate how they search for pests and foods. "The idea is to remind Americans recognized this week Government workers often feel like Rodney Dangerfield: They don't get any respect. Public Service Recognition Week, this year, informs AmeriMay 0 cans about the talents and contributions of federal, state and local government workers. The week is sponsored by the Public Employees Roundtable, a coalition of 30 professional associations. "We want to make people aware of the neat things government does," said Gretchen Hakola, Roundtable spokesperson. "They only time most Americans become aware of the 4-1- government is when there are mistakes. A smoothly running program just doesn't get much press." The week is designed to counteract this and showcase the contributions made by government workers at all levels. The week started in 1985 in four cities. This year, planners forecast more than 1,000 celebrations encompassing all states and territories. Some will be held at Department of Defense facilities overseas. "Each celebration has a distinctly local flavor," Hakola said. "In New Orleans, they're having a riverfest. In California, a golf tournament. There will be baseball games in North Dakota and a breakfast bash in Washing- ton state." that the government no Summer safety road show has wheels, will travel ffyrak0WSky what level L,.T ThemajoritywiUdieintraffic The Hill AFB Ground Safety is taking its show on the road literally. To kick off the 101 Critical Days Summer campaign, a safety team tour the base May 19 and 20 with its message of safety for Hill workers. The 101 Critical Days is a cam- paign designed to heighten safety during the period from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. This period '! has historically been the time of year most accidents and deaths oc-curs, said Hill safety officials. In years past, the safety office r has held programs at the base theater prior to the Memorial weekend to remind everyone to be especially watchful and careful over the next few months. We felt that the regular two- hour programs were losing their ef-fectiveness," said Matt Barnhart, safety office. "A team using Total Quality methods came up with the idea of taking the show to the wor- ker as opposed to taking the worker to the show." '; Barnhart said there is a serious reason behind scheduling the pro- gram this time of the year. Statis- tics show that 40 service members will die in mishaps in this matter is people and that is government accessible," she said. "That's the idea the theme of the week tries to get across. 'Make America Work for You' has been our theme since we started. We hope people will realize that government isn't some lofty idea, but their neighbors." The week will also highlight educational efforts. The council distributed teacher kits and is looking at what public service will look like in the 21st century. "We're also working on a computer game that will show people what their stake in government is," she said. But the week is not just for education and information for those outside government. It is also to give public service employees a pat on the back. "Many professional organizations are concerned about the morale of public service employees," Hakola said. "This is one way of giving people a pat on the back for a job well done." time period: . , ; j two-hou- ; j j related accidents. The second largest group of talities will be drowmngs.
