Barracks Life: Specialist Spoiled goes mad in March
Spc. Monica K. Smith
CAB Public Affairs
As a little girl, I loved the
story of Cinderella - a seem-
ingly unimportant person to
those around her yet a princess
waiting to be discovered. (That,
and I loved her shoes). It's the
female version of the underdog
- and we can't resist a story
about underdogs, now can we?
Every March, I, along with
every other basketball-loving
fan in the nation, nay, the world,
fill out what is called their
March Madness bracket, in
which we try to guess which ofthe 64 teams will maintain their
position at the top and which
underdogs will fight their way
to the championship game.
I was fortunate enough to
have male friends in college
who felt it was their duty to
educate me in all things sports
related. My first March Madness
bracket included teams whose
names I knew: North Carolina,
Duke, and of course, Texas. It
also included names I thought
were "cute": Gonzaga, Xavier
and Villanova. I picked UNC to
win because this guy I liked
picked UNC to win - and they
did. Since then I've been a UNCSpc. Monica Smith
fan, (They're going to win this
year too) and a March Madness
fan.The phenomenon that is
March Madness appeals not
only to steroid-pumped ath-
letes (and drug-free ones too)
but also includes the young,
old, military, civilians, punks,
preps, the prosperous, the poor
and this prissy girl. Brackets
boost a sense of community
because anyone can compete,
and honestly, anyone can win.
Camaraderie is something we
can never have enough of - so
even if you're late to this par-
ticular tournament, don't hesi-
tate to jump in.
Start your bracket by choos-
ing your elite eight or final fourKeep children safe: Prevent backover

- depending on when you read
this article.
The door to the 3rd Combat
Aviation Brigade's public affairs
office holds my 2009 March
Madness picks. Feel free to stop
by and commiserate Wake
Forest and Western Kentucky's
loss (which threw my bracket
off a bit) or poke fun at the fact
that I actually picked Xavier to
beat Duke in the elite eight. I
welcome the conversation,
even if you're talking bad about
my teams. It's all about com-
munity - even if you are wrong
in your picks. Enjoy the mad-
ness.
ncidentsNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Many children are killed or seriously injured in
backover incidents. A backover incident typically
occurs when a car coming out of a driveway or park-
ing space backs over a child because the driver did not
see him/her. These backover incidents typically
involve toddlers that wander unnoticed into the path
of a vehicle moving in reverse.
Prevention tips
- Teach children not to play in or around cars.
* Supervise children when in and around vehicles.
* Always walk around your vehicle and check the
area around it before backing' up.
" Teach children to move away from a vehicle when
a driver gets in it or if the car is started.
* Have children in the area stand to the side of the
driveway or sidewalk so you can see them as you arebacking out of a driveway or parking space.
* Make sure to look behind you while backing up
slowly in case a child dashes behind your vehicle
unexpectedly.
* Take extra care if you drive a large vehicle because
they are likely to have bigger blind zones. Roll down
your windows while backing out of your driveway or
parking space so that you'll be able to hear what is
happening outside of your vehicle.
* Teach your children to keep their toys and bikes
out of the driveway.
* Because kids can move unpredictably, you should
actively check your mirrors while backing up.
* Many cars are equipped with detection devices
like backup cameras or warning sounds, but they can-
not take the place of you actively walking around your
car to make sure your, children are safely out of the
way. Do not rely solely on these devices to detect
what's behind your vehicle.What you need to know, now
" Every vehicle has blind zone areas. As the size and
height of a vehicle increases, the blind zone area does
as well.
" The elevation of the driver's seat, the shape of the
windows and mirrors, and the slope of the road or
driveway can affect the size of the blind zone behind
the vehicle.
* Light trucks, sports utility vehicles, and vans, are
more likely to be involved in backovers than cars.
* Backovers are often a result of a child following a
parent or guardian to the driveway without the parent
knowing.

Editor's Note: This is the first of a six-week series
that will run on vehicle safety for children.CORRECTION TO THE FRONTLINE: An article that appeared in the March 19 edition of Frontline titled "Hunter hosts military,
civilian first responder WMD exercise," ran incorrectly. The Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security Incident
Management System Operator is named Hubert Quiller; not Hugh Quiller of Directorate of Public Works.THANK YOU'
