NAS SIGONELLA, Sicily - Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella and members of the local Italian community came together for Spring Fest last Saturday. The event included an auto show featuring Harley Davidsons, 4X4s, and one Ferrari, but it's safe to say the main attraction was the long line of Fiat 500s. Restoring these classic cars can be a hobby, a passion, and maybe an addiction, but there's no arguing that the end result is a thing of beauty." "It looked like it rolled down a mountain when
I got it," said Marco Epifanio, referring to his own fully-restored Cinquecento. "The rebuild lasted three months and 10 days. It actually just got finished today. I just stopped by a body shop right before coming here." Those last-minute finishing touches seem to have paid off. Epifanio's red 1971 Fiat 500L won the award for "best in show" giving him the satisfaction of knowing his time, money, and hard work were worth it. Not only does he have a great car, he's practically got a new family member. "Actually, she has a name." Epifanio said. "Edna, like an old woman. She's an old woman because she's from 1971."
The auto show was just one of the day's many Spring Fest activities. The community was treated to a day of great food, fun sports, and a chance to plunge Sigonella's commanding officer, Capt. Christopher Dennis, into the dunk tank. Spring fest brings a close to the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society's (NMCRS) Active Duty Fund Drive (ADFD). This month-long event raises money for the NMCRS so they can continue to help sailors, Marines, and their families in times of need. "A lot of it is also raising awareness," said Lt. Lizz Huntoon, the ADFD events coordinator. "Even when I joined the committee, I had no idea how much NMCRS does. So this really helps bring awareness to the community and unity working toward the same cause." Aside from financial assistance, NMCRS offers health education, post-combat support, and even a Budget for Baby class that teaches expecting parents how to prepare for the financial burden that comes with a new child. These are just a few of the programs supported by ADFD proceeds. Other fundraising events throughout the month included car washes, a “jail-and-bail,” various food sales, and a radiothon with all money going to NMCRS and in turn back to the Sailors and Marines in need. "I'm very proud of all the work that went in to it and I'm really happy that we raised so much money," said Huntoon. "But even if we would've only raised a dollar, anytime Sailors and Marines are working together to help each other, it's a win." In total, Sigonella raised $100,372 during this year's ADFD. This is slightly less than $110,000 raised in 2014, but Huntoon was also quick to point out how "last year we had the VP squadron included in our numbers and this year we don't. So all things being equal, we're on par with last year." While the ADFD has come to an end, it's never too late to donate. If you're still interested in making a contribution to NMCRS you can stop by their office on NAS 1 and pick up a pre-paid envelope to mail in a donation, or log on to their website at www.nmcrs.org and make your donation online.
Cooking up some love with Sig' Kids
By mc2 donavan patubo NAS Sigonella Public Affairs Staff
NAS SIGONELLA, Sicily - When arriving to Sicily, one of the many things people get excited about is the food – you know… pasta that’s not pasty; pizza with mozzarella and basil fresh enough to actually expire within a month; espresso that’s a two-second shot of heaven; and gelato with such incredible physical and gastronomical properties I could easily spend the next two paragraphs discussing. The point is, with such a wide variety of cuisine it’s but a matter of time before discovering something that so inspires your taste buds you tend to crave those morsels on a regular basis. But despite the love affair, one unfortunate fact remains – nearly every American stationed here must one day say arrivederci to the island that creates the food we've grown so fond of. If you're not ready to say ciao to the chow, there is an alternative - learn to cook. There are several cooking classes offered at Naval Air Station (NAS) Sigonella throughout the year that give us the chance to learn some of Sicily’s traditional dishes. Fleet and Family Support Center's (FFSC) April 9 parent-child cooking class was one such event, as part of Child Abuse Prevention month. On the menu for the day was pasta with home-made tomato sauce, eggplant sandwiches, and orange salad - a great trio of dishes to prepare at your next gathering back in the states. While it may be true that nothing brings people together

Would it be possible for Marinai residents to keep their pets inside their own yards or homes? Many people living in Marinai have outdoor cats that roam and spray others’ outdoor furniture, bushes, and even my child’s bicycle! There was a recent post on Craigslist of Marinai showing an outdoor cat spraying another resident’s bushes. Despicable! People should take responsibility for their pets. All Marinai residents deserve a better neighborhood experience.
and derail us from accomplishing our national security missions. Let's consider some practical ways in which we can better prepare ourselves to neither harm nor be harmed. Alcohol misused has a devastating impact on our self-control and decision-making, much too often resulting in sorrow, pain, and depression. Statistics vary but demonstrate that NEARLY EVERY sexual assault or domestic case involves alcohol, which means each of us must develop a healthy relationship with alcohol. And while that relationship is unique for each of us based on societal, biological, psychological, and other important factors, there are ways we can each informally assess ourselves. After each time we drink, we should ask ourselves two simple questions: 1) Do I lack clarity of what happened while I drank? 2) After drinking am I ashamed or regretful? If the answer to either is “yes” then you drank too much and it’s time to reassess and quite possibly seek help. Anyone glancing at the cover of Navy Times knows alcohol-related incidents occur indiscriminately across age, gender, rank, and profession. We each must ‘get right’ with alcohol, and when we do we will be far ahead in avoiding injuries to our loved ones, fellow citizens, and selves. The biggest challenge is being honest with yourself. While this can’t be done by asking your drinking buddy if you need help, there are many resources dedicated to help us get right and keep our military service on our own terms. Seek out your SARP, chaplain, primary care provider, FFSC, or simply ask someone you trust and respect – a person who can be an honest advocate and assist in getting you on the right path. When it comes to sexual assault, alcohol-fueled intimate interactions often result in one person feeling as a victim and the other by definition viewed as the alleged perpetrator. A better approach with people you are attracted to is getting to know them SOBER. Find ways to interact that emphasize
Response:
Thank you for sharing your concern about unattended pets at Marinai. Page 5 of NASSIGINST 5000.2F under Subsection D, Clause (1) cites that “Personnel living on the installation or in other designated government housing areas are required to keep their animals within the confines of the owner’s house or fenced yard, unless they are in an authorized training area or on a leash.” Those in violation of this order will be asked to find new homes outside government housing for their pets. For vacationers, it means making necessary care-taking arrangements for their animals prior to leaving - either by a neighbor or at a kennel facility. Community members who notice animals wandering unattended should report this to the Security Duty Chief at 6246063; details and even pictures are helpful to Security.
Comment regarding “Fitness Classes during Lunch”:
There are only four lunchtime classes between the two bases. There is one at NAS 1 on Wednesdays and three at NAS 2. Why can’t we get more during lunch time? Two of the four are on the same day and just one hour apart while the other two classes aren’t even physical fitness classes. How can base employees get the most from group PT if they are not offered during our lunch break?
Response: genuinely knowing the person’s mind and soul and not simply their body in an uncontrolled state. If they don’t like you sober, then move on. There are seven billion people in this world; plenty will like you. If you and another are mutually attracted while sober, the next step is to acknowledge each other’s boundaries up front rather than taking the careless trial-and-error approach while drunk. Drunken encounters all too often have very messy outcomes. In 2015, unplanned pregnancies, STDs, violence, and sexual assaults are real as they’ve always been. Make sure upfront and sober you communicate, understand, and respect each other’s personal boundaries. After the heat-of-the-moment, or as a defendant in a trial, is a bad time to discover those critical pieces of information. In closing, I want to repeat MCPON Stevens’ challenge to us all: “Make each day your masterpiece!” That’s a worthy goal for every Sig’ Citizen. But remember, a true masterpiece helps not only ourselves, but those around us. Ci vediamo, Sigonella!

Interactive Customer Evaluation Comment regarding “Bullying at School”
My 8-year-old boy came home crying the other day because some of the kids at school teased him. The name-calling has persisted. I am concerned about bullying going on at our schools here.
Response:
I’m very upset to hear about the name-calling of your child. Eight-years old or 80, bullying is never acceptable! Sigonella’s Elementary principal, Dale Moore, has told me that anti-bullying is a constant theme in all levels of Sigonella’s schools. In fact counseling is built into the school’s curriculum to educate students about bullying. Page 15 of the 2014-’15 Parent-Student handbook is dedicated to the different ways bullying is defined and how the school will discipline offenders. While we don’t see a lot of bullying at our schools, when it is recognized, I assure you our school will take appropriate actions. If you have questions or concerns regarding bullying at DoDDS Sigonella schools, please contact our principals: Elementary: Dale Moore, 624-3001 or dale.moore@eu.dodea.edu Middle: Richard Dye, 624-4281 or richard.dye@eu.dodea.edu High: Phyllis Fuglaar, 624-4281 or phyllis.fuglaar@eu.dodea.edu

Comment regarding “Unattended Cats in Marinai”:
Commanding Officer Capt. Chris Dennis MCPON Stevens' recent visit to our community was exceptional. His three “Foundations of Success” – work hard; stay out of trouble (make smart decisions); and be a good and decent person (treat everyone with dignity and respect) are straightforward counsel in how to achieve success in our careers and in life. In fact, I offer the latter two qualities perfectly coincide with our Sig' Citizen responsibility of Health and Welfare (caring for ourselves and one another) and are perfectly encapsulated by "the golden rule" – a universal principle that charges us to treat others the way we would like to be treated. When we truly care about ourselves and also put others' interests on par or ahead of our own, we grow and become our best selves. The golden rule, Sig’ Citizenship, and our MCPON allow no exceptions based on race, creed, religion, gender, or any other typical distinction. All of this serves as a great introduction to April, the Month of Military Children, and Domestic Abuse/Violence/Neglect and Sexual Assault Awareness. Since this time last year, 16 of our community members have reported being sexually assaulted, five more than the year prior. One is too many, 16 is tragic. Still, I am grateful to each of these victims for trusting our Sigonella caregivers (medical, clinical counselors, victim advocates, investigators, legal, and chaplains) to thoughtfully and earnestly provide assistance while protecting the victim's dignity. For this same period, we had nearly FOUR TIMES the number of Domestic Violence/Abuse/Neglect cases in our community, many directly or indirectly involving our military children. If we are to achieve our goal in making Sigonella a community in which every person treats one other with dignity and respect, then there is no room, not one square inch, for sexual assaults and domestic mistreatment. Let it be clear, the only acceptable outcome is: no cases reported, and no one suffering in silence. These events can terribly alter the positive trajectory of one's life, erode civility and camaraderie,

Kenya Harris, our DoDDS transportation officer, recently spoke with the bus contractor and reminded them to ensure all busses wait at each designated stop until the appropriate time of departure. Normally, anyone experiencing school bus issues would contact the transportation officer directly. Presently, Ms. Harris is on maternity leave, so in the interim, please direct questions or concerns to Sandra D'Arrigo at: 624-3247 or sandra.darrigo@eu.dodea.edu.

Thank you for the feedback on the MWR group exercise program. Currently we’re offering 21 classes per week, even though by national MWR metrics we are required to provide just eight classes. We offer our classes to coincide with the times and locations of greatest attendance. Of late, this is from 4:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Our past and current lunchtime classes lack participation. Without greater participation, we cannot justify redistributing the classes. In the meantime, I encourage you and other lunchtime gym patrons to use the classes we have or consider using cardio equipment such as bicycles, ellipticals, and treadmills, all of which have programs and virtual instructors to help maximize your workouts. For our active duty population, your Command Fitness Leader (CFL) may be able to facilitate command/group PT sessions. For further questions or assistance please contact the MWR Fitness Director, Jill Lynch, at 624-4301 or via email at: fitness_ sigonella@eu.navy.mil.
Comment regarding "Commissary Hours of Operation":
It’s a shame that the Commissary isn’t open Mondays. If they have to close one day per week, why don’t they close on a Wednesday or at least survey the community to determine the preferred day of the week to close. I imagine most people need groceries following the weekend more than they do in the middle of the week.
Response:
Thanks for your comment. Knowing most of us have had Mondays when we wish the Commissary was open, I followed up with Sigonella’s store manager, Al Brooks, who shared with me the strict DeCA guidelines for how many days a week any Commissary may be open. These guidelines are based on weekly patronage. Unfortunately, our store doesn’t meet the patronage required for seven-day-a-week operation. Historical DeCA-wide data shows Mondays to be the lowest in terms of sales. As such, the Monday-off schedule now integrates employee work schedules, union agreements, logistical transportation arrangements, and other operational criteria. Locally, our store staff performs cleaning, stocking, display construction, and other necessary chores difficult to execute while the store is filled with shoppers. Those here in 2011 probably remember our store was open seven days a week. However, this was during Operation Odyssey Dawn when a temporary and quite substantial influx to our base population met requirements necessary to keep the store open the extra day.
Comment regarding “ISIS Threats to NAS Sigonella”:
Dear CO, can we be real about terrorists and how close they are to us? Is there an intention to send dependents home? We are close to a lot of scary stuff and I feel like maybe it’s time to “get real” about this situation. Can we have a sit-down and a plan in case the worst happens? Thank for your time, sir.
Response:
Security for NAS Sigonella is my first and last thought each day. Since becoming CO in May 2013, I've consistently reminded all Sig' Citizens about three community responsibilities: Security, Resource Conservation, and Health and Welfare. I have not stopped repeating this message. During Base INDOC I tell each attendee that due to our physical location - in a flood plain, on a fault line, under an active volcano, surrounded by a sea of human migration, and very close to people who would like to harm the U.S. and our allies - we Sigonellans must remain vigilant! This is more relevant today than ever. Behind the scenes we work diligently on base and with U.S. and Italian agencies to remain informed and prepared. At the same time, we continue to provide guidance to our community on how each of us should best prepare and protect ourselves. I can assure you and everyone, if the time comes when more aggressive measures must be taken to protect our community, we will and with clarity. In the meantime, please ensure you're in full compliance with personal and family force protection protocols and if you 'see something, say something' by reporting concerns to: Emergency Dispatch Center at 624-5225 (095-86-5225 commercial) Security Desk Sergeant at 624-6063 (095-86-6063 commercial) NCIS Office at 624-9210 (095-86-9210 commercial) Sigonella Security is our personal and collective responsibility. For more information on personal and family preparation, please contact the Installation Antiterrorism Officer at 624-6279 (095-86-6279 commercial).

"COOKING" continued from Page 1 like a good home-cooked meal, the class in itself was a great way to bring families together. Nineteen parents and children attended the class, which gave the kids a chance to see what constitutes a well-balanced, nutritious Sicilian meal. From a quick game of “guess the ingredients,” to grocery shopping to serving up the finished products, these little chefs were all smiles as they helped prepare their own lunch. "This is a way to bring the kids in the kitchen and have a positive experience with them," said Sarah Hutchinson, FFSC's New Parent Support Coordinator. "I think having the kids in the kitchen creates multiple opportunities for them to feel better about themselves because they're helping out the family. And with helping out, they are sometimes more willing to eat the food." Hutchinson and FFSC's Work and Family Life Educator, Andrea Carobene, were in charge of running the class, interacting with the families to
April 17, 2015 help ensure everyone was involved and learning. "I've had parents say that their kids really did learn the dish and were able to replicate it at home," said Carobene. "So it is highly encouraged to always involve our kids when preparing good meals, because they really do learn so much." Not only is April Child Abuse Prevention month, it is also the Month of the Military Child, giving all in Sigonella a reason to get out and do something positive for the kids of our community. Whether you're a parent, geo bachelor, or single service member, the month is set aside to acknowledge and thank the community’s sons and daughters for the sacrifices they make every day. From being thousands of miles away from grandparents, cousins, and sometimes even their Mom or Dad; moving every three or four years while leaving good friends behind and hoping they'll make new ones at the next duty station; or adjusting to the new culture and nuances that come with living overseas, paying tribute to our children is a dish to be served not only in April, but every day of the year.

Robotics Engineering a catalyst to developing STEM skill-sets
From NAS Sigonella Public Works Department
NAS SIGONELLA, Sicily - The installation recycling and refuse contractor will be delivering new desk-side recycling bins with information packets and bio-degradable bags to all region customers over the next few weeks. Please allow the contractor to swap out this container with your refuseonly container. The container and proper use is explained in detail in the information packet, along with other recycling tips. Once you have the new container, the custodians will no longer empty refuse bins in office spaces for region customers. Please do the right thing and use the desk-side recycling bins the way they are intended. With new collection points in common spaces and these containers in each office, the program will take another step toward increasing diversion rates for recycled goods while promoting good management of constrained resources. There will be several articles in The Signature and All Hands Message posts in the coming weeks about the state of the recycling program and what you can do to become a better steward of our environment. As a community we are slowly improving in this area, but we have a long way to go. Feel good about the little things you do and participate!

NAS SIGONELLA, Sicily - The Robotics Engineering course teaches 9th through 12th grade students the engineering design process using hands-on application of mechanisms, machines, and robotic systems as a catalyst to develop Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) skill-sets. The framework for the Robotics Engineering course is designed to establish a learning environment where students practice 21st Century skills as part of their assigned tasks. The role of the instructor shifts from that of expert to facilitator as students are required to think, research, resource and work as a team to solve engineering problems. Students can progress at their own pace while performing tasks independently and in small groups. Hands-on activities supplemented with demonstrations, mentorship, and authentic assessment lead students from concept to application as students solve problems using intelligent machines. Solving engineering problems, students will gain firsthand knowledge of simple machines, fabrication, and logic circuitry. Students will also learn how to program complex robotic systems to perform a variety of interesting and useful tasks. In this class, we use Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 kits to draft, create, and program robots of our own design. The first robots we were assigned to construct were “Sumo Wrestler” robots. We had to develop a functioning robot, whether remote controlled or self-running, that could be positioned into a Sumo ring with another robot and attempt to force it out while our robot stayed in the ring. After each group successfully completed this robot, we moved on to the robots that we are currently working on and producing. This project is known as a “Vacuum Cleaning Robot”. The robot is placed inside a large rectangular frame, with several stipulations including: capturing as many one centimeter blocks as possible out of fifty, detecting a black line and changing direction, being able to get from one room to another through a doorway, and sense walls to move around. Provided by the Lego kits is the Lego NXT 2.1 Programming software. This programming software is what we use to program our robots to complete the actions necessary to accomplish any requirements given. The building section of the robots is reasonably easy and at times fun, even though every now and then it can be frustrating. However, the programming is considerably harder as it needs to be precise and accurate. One small mistake with the programming can cause the robot to fail entirely. The Robotics Engineering class is a semi-difficult one with great interactive and hands on learning where excellent team building skills are created and used.

Milan Expo 'set to shine' with more than nine million tickets already sold
Milan has been named as the host city for the 2015 Universal Exposition. From May 1 - October 31, more than 140 participating countries will showcase their best technological and cultural ideas on the theme of ‘Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life’, providing healthy, safe and sufficient food to the planet, while respecting its equilibrium. The expo expects to welcome more than 20 million visitors to 1.1m sq m of exhibition area. (Photo by Expo2015 Press Office)
By ANSA/Expo2015 Press Office ROME (Italy) - With less than one month to go before the official opening of Milan Expo 2015, almost nine million tickets have already been sold and organizers say the event is set to shine. The foodthemed universal exposition runs from May 1 through Oct. 31 with a record 53 single-nation pavilions, along with nine clusters representing about 90 countries and theme-based pavilions. Commissioner Giuseppe Sala says that he will take "full responsibility" if the six-month world's fair is not fully prepped for its May 1 inauguration. "If it's not ready, the person at fault is one alone, it's me," Sala told a during a recent news conference. "There is only one person responsible for potentially making a bad impression, but I am convinced that we'll be ready", Sala added. He said that he was "happy with this site" in Italy's business capital city of Milan where Expo is taking shape and where construction workers are putting in a great deal of overtime as they race to ensure all is ready for May 1. Almost all external structures of national pavilions have been completed while work continues on interiors and the final touches to collective pavilions, organizers say. Laborers are toiling for as long as 20
hours per day, seven days per week to finish the Italian pavilion in particular - a major five-storey palace and built as a permanent structure that will remain long after Expo packs its tents and moves on. Sala said the cost overruns have been worked out with the construction group which won the contract to build the Italian pavilion. The total cost of the pavilion has been reported at about 92 million Euros with 20% of payment withheld from the construction group and payout contingent on meetings its deadline of April 30. About 140 countries in all will participate in Milan Expo 2015, under the theme: 'Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life'". Some 20 million visitors are expected to join in on events that are based on promoting sustainable a sustainable global food system and fighting hunger. Premier Matteo Renzi says he hopes that Milan Expo will provide Italy an opportunity to demonstrate to the world that the country has a great future. "We have to present Italy as a land that does not just have a past, but also has a future," Renzi said during a recent visit to the site.
"It's a marvelous challenge. When we row in the same direction in Italy, dreams come true. "This is the final rush and so let's show what Italy is capable of ".

First pavilion opens at Milan Triennale On April 9, the first pavilion of Expo Milano opened at the Milan Triennale (open daily from 10 a.m. - 11 p.m.) featuring: Arts & Foods. Rituals since 1851: a journey through time, via food, art and the senses. With an area dedicated to art in the heart of the city which creates an extended experience of the Universal Exposition: "Arts & Foods. Rituals since 1851" is the first Expo Milano 2015 pavilion to open to the public. This major exhibition, curated by Germano Celant, takes place from April 9 - November 1 at the Milan Triennale and examines the relationship between the arts and the various rituals surrounding food from 1851 to today. The exhibition features design by Italo Rota with graphical design provided by Irma Boom. The exhibition covers an area of about 7,000 square meters and features a plurality of visual language, models, objects and room-settings, which since 1851 have revolved around the world of food, nutrition, and dining together. Arts & Foods. Rituals since 1851 showcases more than 2,000 works and examines the relationship between art and the many rituals associated with eating, with special reference to how
the esthetic and functional aspects of what we eat have impacted creative expression. Inside and outside the Milan Triennale there are also installations and works by contemporary artists created especially for the exhibition. The exhibition route is both chronological and thematic: covering topics relating to food, its preparation, its distribution and the sharing of it, both in private and in public. On display are over 15 installations dedicated to places where food plays a central role - dining rooms, kitchens, bars, picnic areas - where paintings, furniture, objects, sculptures, household appliances, photographs, menus, books, and album covers create an impactful narrative. Tips for visitors Travel blog Venere.com suggested five insider tips and suggestions that should come in handy while visiting Expo 2015: Best days to visit: If you can forgo the excitement generated in the first and last days of the Expo, you get more opportunities to explore the exhibition at your own pace in the quieter times. To avoid crowds, refrain from visiting on Italian national holidays too. Bring some snacks: This may sound like contrary advice, given the food theme. If you want to avoid queues or are bringing your kids along, it’s better to carry some food with you. As the expo is spread over 272 acres, you are going to do a lot of walking. Get a reusable water bottle and refill it from the water fountains. Be patient: Long queues are something you can’t avoid at international Expos. You have two choices – suffer the wait at popular pavilions or explore those of smaller or unfamiliar countries. You may be surprised by what you find at these stalls. Don’t forget the essentials: Don’t forget to carry some form of ID with you. It’s essential for getting in and it might just help you “jump the queue” at your own country pavilion. Explore the wider area Milan the fashion capital of Italy, has a rich cultural heritage with exquisite landmarks including the Cathedral, Sforzesco Castle, Navigli canals and much more. You can explore other places in the Lombardy region such as the medieval hilltop town of Bergamo, Brescia or Monza, the Italian Grand Prix town.

technologies. These two aspects do not stand apart, but are very much interconnected. Besides being an opportunity for industry players to meet, the Universal Exposition is part of a cultural journey that aims to highlight the changes that the entire population of the planet is currently facing. Focusing on humankind that, through life and work, has transformed the natural environment, Expo Milano 2015 aims to highlight the life-giving energy that food, the symbol of hospitality, community and celebration, brings to each and every one of us. People and their history are central themes of this Expo. In particular, the Milan event is the result of a long transformation that characterizes human history and the food industry, both important themes for previous Universal Expos. The human story is told through historical, economic and political aspects such as industrial growth, the emergence of new economic powers, and events such as world wars, all having influenced each and every Expo. From the very first Expo in London in 1851, it is possible to see the legacy each edition has left behind – not just the physical landmarks, but also the changes in people’s relationship with the land and with the food it provides. This has been the inspiration for Expo Milano 2015, Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life, which will explore the importance of nutrition for all of us and the central role that humans play. Expo Milano 2015 is a global event characterized by its nature of uniting many different voices, basing its success on the involvement of all the various players taking part. As defined by the rules of the BIE (Bureau International des expositions), Participants in the Universal Exposition are identified as Official or Non-Official. Official Participants are all Countries (145) and International Organizations (3) who accept the invitation sent by the Government of the Country hosting the Exposition. Non-Official Participants may be a group of representatives, institutional and otherwise, whose participation is authorized directly by the Organizer of every single Exposition. Given the importance of its theme, the Italian Government decided in 2011 to officially invite all member states of the United Nations and to open the doors of Expo Milano 2015 also to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and to companies as key stakeholders in the global debate on the challenges related to nutrition and food. ANSA press agency reported that, working together, but with different methods and objectives,
all participants will be called upon to interpret and make a real contribution to the theme of Expo 2015, Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. The aim is to create a unique experience for visitors, as protagonists, increasing their awareness of and seeking their participation in the drive for: the right to food that is healthy, safe and sufficient; the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the food chain and the preservation of taste and of food culture. A Universal Exposition has the responsibility of leaving a cultural, social, scientific and technological heritage, and Expo Milano 2015 will build this legacy, above all, thanks to its Participants, who represent the heart and soul of the event. As reported by Sicilian top-circulation daily Gazzetta del Sud, Expo Milano 2015 will also be a chance to focus on Mediterranean biodiversity. Regional agriculture chairman Nino Caleca said, during a recent presentation for the BioMediterranean cluster pavilion at Milan's Expo Gate, that “the Mediterranean must always remain a sea of peace and trade, and the Expo will be a chance to give our sea this central role. We will begin the Expo with a week dedicated to the (Sicilian) islands and their products, starting from Pantelleria's passito raisin,'' he added. Modica chocolate combined with Pantelleria passito were offered at the presentation of the cluster.

Sarah Anderson, Health Promotion Coordinator. The 30 associations involved with this year’s fair have devised interactive and healthy activities to promote healthy lifestyles. Monday, April 27, marks the first day of the Wellness Week Campaign.

SECNAV directs Navy to expand use of LEDs From the Secretary of the Navy Public Affairs
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus recently directed that brighter, longer-lasting and more energy-efficient lighting be installed in U.S. Navy ships under construction as part of a strategy designed to help increase these ships' time on-station, decrease time spent on maintenance, and prevent shipboard injuries. Program managers for all new construction ships have been directed to pursue installation of Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs). Their reduced drain on the ship's electrical load, compared to conventional florescent bulbs, translates to increased time between refueling, which means more time on-station. "We are continuing to become more efficient in how we use energy. The move to LED saves between two and three percent of the total fuel usage for each ship and that adds up in a fleet of 300 ships," said Mabus. "Upgrading to LEDs on our ships will increase our ability to provide the global presence that is vital to America's national security and economic well-being." The memo authorizes program managers to spend up to $2 million per ship from the ship's change order funding, subject to the funds' availability. Additional funding is available with approval, in the event installation on a particular ship is more expensive. LEDs' lower energy consumption means the bulbs will "pay for themselves" in one to five years. LEDs have already been installed on more than 170 Navy ships. Program managers and program executive officers are empowered to install LEDs on new construction ships through a more streamlined process. LED lights' increased operational life translates to 80 percent less time spent on ladders and lifts changing bulbs. The Navy Safety Office predicts this will cut down on slips, trips, and falls, which are the most common shipboard injuries. The longer life also means less storage space aboard ship needs to be dedicated to replacement bulbs, thereby freeing it for other operational uses. "The LED lighting we're installing aboard ships today is making a difference where it counts: improving Sailors' quality of life, saving time, and reducing safety risks," said Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Mike Stevens. LEDs are a type of Solid State Lighting (SSL) that produces light by passing electrical current through semiconductor material. LEDs use approximately 50 percent less energy and last up to five times as long as conventional florescent lights, between 40,000 and 50,000 hours, according to a Naval Sea Systems Command Business Case Analysis.

Eliminate sexual assault: Know your part. Do your part From Fleet & Family Support Center Sigonella
WASHINGTON, April 3, 2015 - Sexual assaults and retaliation against people who report them undermine the military's values of honor and trust, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said yesterday in a message to the Defense Department's workforce. Defense Secretary Ash Carter wears the teal pin that recognizes the observance of Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, April 2, 2015. The theme for this year's observance is "Eliminate Sexual Assault: Know Your Part. Do Your Part." Here is the text of the secretary's message: This April, the Department of Defense observes Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. While we must spread awareness and prevent these crimes each and every day, this is an important opportunity to remind ourselves why ridding our ranks of sexual assault and sexual harassment is so critical. The values of honor and trust are the lifeblood of our military, and every act of sexual assault directly undermines those values. So too does every act of retaliation against those who report these crimes. This year's theme, "Eliminate Sexual Assault: Know Your Part. Do Your Part." reminds us that we all have a responsibility to prevent these crimes and support the survivors not only to live our core values and protect one another, but also to ensure our people can focus on the mission. This is an issue our force, both of today and tomorrow, cares deeply about. When I spoke at my high school earlier this week, a young student asked me about the issue of sexual assault and
wanted to know what we were doing to ensure our military is "a safe and welcome place." That is why it is the responsibility of every service member to help make our military the last place a sexual offender wants to be. Together, we must assure an environment where sexual assault is neither condoned nor ignored; we must reinforce a culture of prevention, accountability, dignity, and respect throughout our ranks; and we must advocate for and staunchly support all who courageously report this crime. Our nation looks to us to lead boldly on this front and to care for our fellow men and women who bravely serve. Every single one of us must know our part, do our part, and keep doing whatever it takes to eliminate sexual assault in the military. In 2014 there were approximately 19,000 reports of unwanted sexual contact across the Department of Defense. 8,500 women and 10,500 men reported that they have experienced unwanted sexual contact. DoD estimates that it receives a report from only one in four victims of sexual assault Sailors ages 18 to 24 are the highest-risk group for military sexual assault. Each of you can make a
difference by the example you set by your words and your actions. There are many resources that are available such as Military Onesource, DoD Safe Hotline, Chaplains and your Command Victim Advocate. If you have experienced unwanted sexual contact, you need to report it to your Command Victim Advocate. This is the first step to making a change in our Navy. For more information about sexual assault awareness contact your command exual assault prevention and response coordinator or contact The Fleet & Family Support Center at 624-4291.
