Johnston on licensing requirements within the industry. The topic can be challenging to understand
with all the regulations and requirements. We felt, his article, Licensing for Tugboats, was a good
resource that our mariners may find beneficial as well. Below is a snippet of his article—the full

The Intersection of Time Management and Stress Management
Which of the following obligations do you have this year, month…day?
Work Sporting Events Car maintenance
Family Weddings Exercise
Friends Banking Vacation
Doctor’s Appointments Holiday Celebrations Business Travel
Dentist Appointments Therapy Birthday Celebrations
Managing a busy life can contribute to stress. Stress can lessen productivity and cause physical health problems.
While a small amount of stress can serve as motivation to get things done, it is important to find a healthy balance.
Use the following tips to manage your obligations and time so that you can lead a stress free life!
Tips for Time Management
In the Office
Create a monthly plan—determine what goals you need to hit each week, and make a checklist for when you
complete them
Never skip lunch—your body needs nutrients, and your mind needs a mental break
Don’t forget to ask for assistance, and help out others so they will be there in your time of need
On the Boats
Use your off-time to rejuvenate, spend time with family and get chores done so that you can focus on work when
you are crewed up
With Your Family
Buy in bulk—this will reduce the number of trips you have to run to the store
Find opportunities for your children to help out around the house as this will teach them responsibility and take
chores off your plate
Keep a schedule of the family calendar so that you can track family events
Schedule in activities that are fun for the whole family so that you have time to enjoy each other’s company
On Your Own
Schedule exercise into your schedule – while it may seem like an added obligation—exercise actually reduces
stress and helps you sleep better. Furthermore, managing a healthy lifestyle actually promotes time management.
Take time for a night out! Get a babysitter so you and your partner can have time alone, or spend a night out
with friends.

“To me stress is when you’ve got a situation

Perry’s Funeral Chapels experiences played out in Colorado where he worked for a railroad company.
This lasted only a couple of weeks, but he would tell a greatly embellished
story which always ended with the proud statement, “I was a gandy dancer.”
That was just one of his great stories.
He was preceded in death by his father, Bob Drummonds; paternal
grandparents; Theo and Thelma Drummonds and maternal grandparents;
Samuel and Pearl Canady and aunt, June King.
Those to cherish in his memory include his wife and best friend, Beegie

McLaughlin and Baylee Jerry. He was the proud grandfather of Royal Drum-

are his father-in-law, Bobby Jack Rhodes, mother-in-law, June McLeese, his
sister-in-law, Shirley Leveritt (Michael), uncles, Lamar Drummonds and

EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH
Harley Marine Gulf would like to recognize Captains Clifford Arnold and Gerald Gamage of
the Barry Silverton as the March Employees of the Month. Both men have contributed invaluable
leadership assisting with the delivery of the Barry Silverton and her barge, the Fight A.L.S. Capt.
Clifford started with us in August of 2015, has commanded the Barry through two Panama Canal
transits and managed the outfit of the boat. Captain Gerald started with us that September, took
the BARRY SILVERTON on a run to Hawaii and oversaw the delivery and placement in service
of the FIGHT A.L.S. Thank you gentlemen and congratulations!
Starlight Marine Services would like to recognize Urb Alexander as the March Employee of the
Month. Urb has been not only working a lot of extra hours for SMS but also for OTB, helping
with the VRU on the Olympic Spirit. He has a great attitude and is always willing to go the extra
mile.
Olympic Tug & Barge would like to recognize the entire crew of the KESTREL, as the
March Employees of the Month. The entire crew demonstrated the highest standards of
professionalism not only in responding to the events in late February this year, but every day
they're on board. Thank you to Captain Tim McCormick, Mates Scott Turner and Dan McGrath,
Engineer Bryan Melnick, and AB/Tankermen Darin Masterson and Donny Voip for all the hard
work you do.
