# DLA Troop Support celebrates retirement of 16 civilians

/ Published Dec. 20, 2019
DLA Troop Support, 
Just before the start of the holiday season, the Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support workforce family gathered one last time in 2019 to celebrate the careers of 16 retiring civilians during a ceremony Dec. 19.

Army Brig. Gen. Gavin Lawrence, DLA Troop Support commander, called it a “bittersweet day,” as he thanked the new retirees for their combined 515 years of service to their country. He wished them luck in, “the next and best chapters of their lives.”

“You all represent many years of experience that our supply chains and support offices are losing,” Lawrence said. “I know that you’ve left an indelible mark on your teams. And I trust that your colleagues will carry your commitment to our customers.”

He also thanked the retirees’ families in the audience for providing support and encouragement throughout their careers.

“The longevity of these wonderful careers can only thrive with the love and support of the family and friends here today, in addition to the numerous co-workers who are in attendance,” Lawrence said.

Lawrence presented each employee with a certificate of retirement, a DLA Troop Support memento, and a commander’s coin. In addition, spouses received certificates of appreciation.

The retirees were:
      - Susan Pinto, 43 years of service, Clothing and Textiles
      - Nancy Martin, 41 years of service, Medical
      - Gina Turchi, 41 years of service, Procurement
      - Margaret Marlette, 41 years of service, Procurement
      - Valerie Fauntroy, 40 years of service, Subsistence
      - Elaine Jordan, 40 years of service, Industrial Hardware
      - Elanda (Monique) Williams, 39 years of service, Clothing and Textiles
      - Jacqueline Hagan, 38 years of service, Industrial Hardware
      - Pamela Smith, 37 years of service, Internal Review
      - Deborah Toner, 35 years of service, Construction and Equipment
      - Catherine (Kitty) Mellon, 34 years of service, Information Operations
      - Ann Keefe, 32 years of service, Medical
      - Joseph Miller, 25 years of service, Subsistence
      - Jay Gillette, 15 years of service, Industrial Hardware
      - Harold Jacobson, 12 years, Industrial Hardware
      - Kathleen Burke, 12 years, Clothing and Textiles
#### The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v Ruben Diaz, Appellant.

[60 NYS3d 821]

Judgment, Supreme Court, New York County (Robert M. Stolz, J. at plea; Ronald A. Zweibel, J. at sentencing), rendered June 22, 2015, as amended September 25, 2015, convicting defendant of sexual abuse in the first degree, and sentencing him, as a second violent felony offender, to a term of seven years, unanimously affirmed.

*441Defendant’s constitutional challenge to the 1996 predicate conviction supporting his second violent felony offender adjudication is unavailing *(see People v Harris,*61 NY2d 9, 15-16 [1983]). The Court of Appeals has “never held that a plea is effective only if a defendant acknowledges committing every element of the pleaded-to offense, or provides a factual exposition for each element of the pleaded-to offense” *(People v Seeber,*4 NY3d 780, 781 [2005] [citations omitted]). Since nothing in defendant’s 1996 plea allocution negated an element of first-degree manslaughter or cast doubt on defendant’s guilt or the voluntariness of the plea, there was no basis to invalidate it *(see id.).*Moreover, the elements of the crime, and defendant’s accessorial liability *(see*Penal Law § 20.00), could be readily inferred from his responses during the allocution *(see People v McGowen,*42 NY2d 905 [1977]).

We perceive no basis for reducing the sentence, including the 15-year term of postrelease supervision.

#### John Houlihan, Appellant, v Morrison Knudsen Corporation, Respondent.

[768 NYS2d 495]

*494In an action, inter alia, to recover damages for personal injuries, the plaintiff appeals, as limited by his brief, from so much of an order of the Supreme Court, Kings County (Hall, J.), dated February 7, 2002, as granted that branch of the defendant’s motion which was for summary judgment dismissing the cause of action sounding in strict products liability.

Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed from, with costs.

The plaintiff, a subway conductor employed by the New York City Transit Authority (hereinafter the TA), was injured on the job when he lost his balance on a moving subway train and his hand went through an open window in the conductor’s booth, striking a stationary object in the tunnel. The plaintiff commenced this action against the defendant, the manufacturer of the window, asserting, inter alia, that the defendant was strictly liable for its defective design.

When a product is manufactured in accordance with plans and specifications provided by the purchaser, the manufacturer is not liable for an injury caused by an alleged design defect in the product, unless the specifications are so patently defective that a manufacturer of ordinary prudence would be placed on notice that the product is dangerous and likely to cause injury (see *Santana v Seagrave Fire Apparatus Corp.,*305 AD2d 395, 398 [2003]; *Beckles v General Elec. Corp.,*248 AD2d 575, 576 [1998]). The defendant established its prima facie entitlement to summary judgment dismissing the cause of action sounding in strict products liability by demonstrating that, pursuant to a contract with the TA, it had replaced the subject window eight years before the plaintiff’s accident, in conformance with TA specifications.

The affidavit of the plaintiffs engineering expert failed to raise a triable of fact since it was conclusory and unsupported by any foundational data or facts *(see Amatulli v Delhi Constr. Corp.,*77 NY2d 525, 533 [1991]; *Billordo v E.P. Realty Assoc.,*300 AD2d 523, 524 [2002]; *Aghabi v Sebro,*256 AD2d 287, 288 [1998]).

The plaintiff’s remaining contentions are without merit. Santucci, J.P., Krausman, Cozier and Mastro, JJ., concur.

# DSCC athlete named to Team USA, will compete in Tokyo Paralympic Games

/ Published June 22, 2021
COLUMBUS, Ohio, 
Defense Supply Center Columbus employee Mindy Cook will represent Team USA at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games in the sport of goalball later this summer.

Cook is a contracting specialist with Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime’s Land Supplier Operations Directorate. The official announcement was made by the U.S. Association of Blind Athletes, the sport’s governing body, following Cook’s selection. Cook will be making her Paralympic debut alongside five seasoned USA Women’s Goalball Team members. In the 2016 Rio Games, the team claimed bronze.

“I’m so grateful for all of DLA’s support in this journey,” Cook said after learning of her selection. “My success at DLA and in Goalball is a reflection of the outstanding leadership of my DLA Land management team. I’m excited for what is yet to come and to share in this journey with DLA.”

Goalball is a team sport for blind and visually impaired athletes. Its origins can be traced to World War II when it was used as a rehabilitation resource for blinded veterans.

Goalball consists of two opposing teams with three players on the court at a time. The game is played on a volleyball-sized court and the object is to roll or bounce a basketball-sized ball across the opposing team’s goal line. The ball contains several bells so that players can locate its position. All players wear eyeshades to negate any sight advantages between those with complete blindness and those with vision impairments. The court is marked with raised lines so the players can feel their location at any time.

The Summer Games originally scheduled to open in Tokyo last July were delayed due to the COVID-19 health emergency. The goalball competition begins Aug. 25 with the medal matches taking place Sept. 3.

# DLA Distribution Commanding General's Columbus Day Message

/ Published Oct. 7, 2021
NEW CUMBERLAND, Pa., 
On October 11th, America will celebrate Columbus Day; a day set aside to commemorate Christopher Columbus’ arrival to the Americas in 1492 and the spirit of exploration.

Many of you will be planning your own explorations as you take advantage of a long weekend. This holiday marks a time for potential seasonal changes in many areas globally. As you enjoy the holiday weekend, please keep safety in mind and plan ahead to minimize the risks of any potential weather or environmental conditions you may face. If your plans include traveling, please don’t drink and drive, always wear your seatbelt, obey the posted speed limits and employ defensive driving techniques.

The last 18 months have been challenging; however, you have remained resilient and committed. I commend you on your dedication to our mission. We’re not out of this pandemic. Please continue to do your part to combat the spread of COVID-19. The best way to serve our customers is to wear your mask, stay home if you are sick and notify your supervisor. Call your physician if you develop a fever, cough or have difficulty breathing. Stay informed and follow the CDC guidelines.

Mr. Knight and I want to thank you for your continued support to our critical mission. Stay safe and enjoy the long weekend.
# Employee investments could be a conflict of interest 

/ Published March 31, 2021
FORT BELVOIR, Va., 
The Defense Logistics Agency General Counsel reminds employees that while investing in the stock market is easier than ever, there may be limitations on what stock they can own.

If employees’ duties involve interacting with a company they’ve invested money in, they may be violating 18 U.S.C. Section 208, a criminal statute, said DLA Ethics Counselor Claes Lewenhaupt. 

“You cannot buy or own stock, for example, with Amazon, Microsoft or Dell, and then participate in a contract between DLA and one of those companies without potentially violating the statute,” he said.

DLA is one of the largest buying agencies in the government and contracts with thousands of companies, he added. DLA ethics counselors can help employees determine if a true conflict of interest exists between the stock owner and their duties.  

Employees who are required to file financial disclosure forms must report the stocks they own as well as the investments of their spouse or dependent children. 

“If your spouse or dependent children own stock in a company, it is imputed to you – it’s like you own it,” Lewenhaupt said, adding this is true even if the stock is in a spouse’s Individual Retirement Account or 401K. 

“Before you get in the game, take ‘stock’ of what your official duties are and whether you might be creating a conflict of interest when purchasing a stock,” he said.

DLA's General Counsel staff reminds employees that even during the pandemic and mass telework, they should remain vigilant and aware of potential conflicts of interest. DLA leaders are committed to ensuring employees uphold high ethical standards as they support warfighters and whole of government while remaining accountable to the American taxpayers.

# Local shelter gives thanks for DSCR generosity

/ Published Nov. 24, 2021
Richmond, Va., 
Defense Supply Center Richmond employees and local organization Home Again Shelter have partnered this year to gather a cornucopia of donations for a Thanksgiving Food Drive. The  workforce donated Thanksgiving meal items, which Home Again Shelter employees used to create meal kits for families in need throughout the Greater Richmond, Virginia, region.

Defense Logistics Agency Installation Management Richmond’s Family Advocacy Program Manager Rhiannon Jackson said this is the first year the installation has collaborated with the organization, with a goal to feed 79 families during the holiday.

“Home Again’s mission is to help families and individuals experiencing homelessness to secure and maintain a home,” Jackson said.

Since 1980, Home Again services have expanded to effectively address the needs of individuals, families, seniors and veterans experiencing homelessness.

Home Again’s programs include emergency shelters, bridge housing, rapid rehousing and permanent supportive housing.  In 2019, Home Again served 768 individuals across 540 households including men, women, children and veterans.

Jackson said the DLA workforce has been more than willing to help support the drive, with one team committing to donate 10 turkeys.

“I want to say a special thank you to Guy Simmons, Security and Emergency Services, and DLA/DSCR Fire and Police departments,” she said. “Both organizations stepped up to not only donate but also to provide space to store the food, including a refrigerator for perishable items.”

Additionally, Jackson said, these groups volunteered their time to help set up and ensure the event was successful.

The ongoing pandemic has caused a rise in food insecurity, which makes the Thanksgiving Food Drive even more important.

“Many families and individuals are now experiencing food insecurity for the first time,” Jackson said. “With the end of stimulus checks, increasing inflation and grocery costs, and even shortages of supplies, people in the Richmond area are finding it very difficult to keep food in their refrigerators and pantries. DSCR Family Programs is hoping to help minimize those suffering from food insecurity and appreciates the support from the community.”

Jackson said opportunities to volunteer exist beyond the food drive, as well. “Shelters such as Home Again are always looking for volunteers. DLA employees looking to help this holiday season and beyond should reach out to the shelter to see how they can be of assistance,” she said.
