Mediaboss Marketing

Mission MCLB: MCLB Public Affairs Office

The Public Affairs Office at the Marine Corps Logistics Base exists to communicate the base's story to the Southwest Georgia community, military, and the world.

MCLB Public Affairs Specialist Marti Gatlin says the office is in charge of the communication within and about the base. We feel its really important to tell the Marine Corps story. The marines here have a very important job and we want to make sure the public understands what they do says Gatlin.

The purpose of the office is to keep all marines, Department of defense employees, and the southwest community in the loop, which is no easy feat according to 1st. Lt. Kyle Thomas, the Deputy Public Affairs Officer. So its really important for us to engage the media and have the media tell the story or at least our side of the story depending on what that is. Because thats what people see, thats what people look at says Thomas.

That communication comes in multiple formats like email, phone, the paper, news reports, and social media. Base officials say for safety reasons they can't disclose everything that happens on base. We don't give out information about how many military working dogs we have on base or how many police officers we have, or marines or precise times when marines are moving because thats information that potential enemies can use against us says Thomas.

In addition to their regular responsibilities MCLB Editor Nathan Hanks works with the staff to produce a weekly paper called 'The Emblem'. We publish about 3,000 here on base and they're distributed throughout the base and at various locations. We have various locations out in town as well, about 500 are distributed out in town says Hanks.

The base has lots of marines and sailors who like to spend their free time in the community, in the color guard, and more, so Pamela Jackson is their Community Relations Specialist to help organize it all. Im responsible for coordinating all the volunteers, for marines to go out and do everything from the senior citizens prom, to the snickers marathon, they just volunteer in any capacity they can legally volunteer in says Jackson.

Internet Marketing Seminar Coming November 9th to Jacksonville, Florida

Brussels (dpa) - Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao was due to meet the European Unions most senior figures Thursday at his last EU-China summit before leaving office later this year, at a meeting aimed at deepening the relationship between the two economic giants.

No big decisions were expected of Wens talks with European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, but issues are to include Chinas human rights record and a territorial dispute over islands in the East China Sea.

The EU and China - the worlds first and third largest economies respectively - are also to discuss their strategic partnership and the economic situations in China and the eurozone, its largest export market.

The talks come against the backdrop of an EU trade investigation into suspicions that Chinese solar panels are undercutting EU prices, launched earlier this month.

The build up to the summit was overshadowed by the decision not to hold a press conference, after EU sources said it had been "simply not possible" to accommodate conditions set by Beijing.

Chinese stipulations would have only enabled 15 European press representatives to attend, and ask just two questions between them, said a spokeswoman for the international press association.

Previous EU-China summits have also denied journalists the opportunity to ask questions of Chinas leadership. dpa hm mat npr Author: Helen Maguire

VET Trevor Munro is warning pet owners to keep unvaccinated dogs indoors, after an outbreak of a deadly virus in Faversham.

Mr Munro, of Faversham Veterinary Clinic, says he has seen six confirmed cases of canine parvovirus, and suspects a further 20 dogs have the infection. The other two vets surgeries have not reported any cases.

WORRIED: Trevor Munro of Faversham Veterinary Clinic says unvaccinated dogs are at risk GIIS20120913A-001_C

Parvovirus is a highly contagious condition which causes vomiting and dysentery, and can lead to heart failure and death within 30 hours. But courses of vaccinations, with yearly boosters, prevent it.

Mr Munro, who owns the West Street surgery, explained: "We heard a rumour that lots of dogs were dropping dead and thought it was just that; a rumour.

"But in the last few weeks we've had six cases where parvovirus has been confirmed and two thirds of those dogs died of vomiting and diarrhoea.

"We've seen dogs come in seconds away from death, it's very sad."

The disease is highly contagious and can be passed from dog to dog or by contact with dog faeces.

Mr Munro stressed that the virus only affects dogs and cannot be passed to cats or humans.

He added: "Last time I saw this disease was in the Third World, treating an epidemic in Fiji. In the UK, the virus usually occurs in run-down areas because of low levels of vaccinations, so it is unusual to see it somewhere like Faversham.
